Shavuos - Finding Hidden Treasures

you're listening to a special edition of the weekly partial podcast with Ari goldwag recorded with hash's never ending assistance in R Shish Israel 5784 2024 we are getting ready for the Shu holiday 49 days we've counted tonight is the 50th from pesak until Shas we leave Egypt count seven weeks we receive the Tor at Mount Si at har SI I'd like to share with you a medish and the medish teaches us something foundational you know when we celebrate a holiday in Judaism it's not a celebration of something that happened 3,300 years ago it's a celebration of something that happened and has an impact and rates throughout history down to our very time I'd like to share you aish that very much expresses this idea it says like this called God spoke all of these matters and he said [Music] every single thing every single statement of a prophet that's going to be spoken Generations later hundreds of years later thousands of years later after Mount Si was something that was already said was already received on Mount Si MOS says to the Jewish people this is in Deuteronomy 29: 14 there are those who stand with us today and there are those who don't stand us with us today we not here at this time but all of us receive the [Music] Torah it doesn't say uh standing with us here today it says rather who is with us today we're not just talking about people who are standing there or not we're talking about the souls that in the future they can't you can't talk about them having stood there or not because they didn't have any uh physical presence right it doesn't say that they stood here it just says that they are not with us where they are with us even though that Soul was not there at that time the soul was not present at that time but it received that which belonged to it which is interesting just in so far as when we talk about what a prophet says when we talk about what a navi says which is a statement for the Jewish people that they need to receive in that moment word of muser a word of Hope right that's something that is waiting that's his Divine Purpose that's his the the essence of his soul but that statement that word the teaching that he had to teach it was already there and waiting for him until he would come into the world the says in Mal the first chapter the first verse the the that which is the word of God which was spoken to the people of Israel through Mali in the hand of it says doesn't say in the time of why does it say in his hand that soul soul had in its hand the the very na the very prophecy that he was going to speak hundreds of years later it was in his hand from before just wasn't given permission to say [Music] the the prophet also says from the time that I was there I am what does this mean from the day that the Torah was given at Mount Si I was there my soul received the NAA received this prophecy El but he didn't have permission he had it already in his hand his soul the mission was imbued into him into his soul all the way back in time 3,300 years ago but it took a few hundred years or a thousand years for it to be the time for it to be said I'm sorry okay I read that already and here's the part that is the most relevant to me and you not only was this true is this true of the prophets who received their NAA the prophecy that they would say was already said to them was already given over into their hand entrusted to them all the way back to Mount Si but it's also true the wise people of each and every generation and I'll be more precise in the translation the wise people who stand up in each and every generation each and every one of them received his portion at Mount Si so if we're speaking right now if your Rabbi is talking if I'm talking if you're saying over your own Torah thoughts don't think that you made it up says the medish we receive it at Mount Sarai we received it says an amazing thing all of these words Hashem spoke to the entire Congregation of the Jewish people a great sound a great voice that never ends gets louder and louder tells us a you know it's a secret because of the numbers that he used he says there's one voice one sound which is split into seven which further splits into 70 languages when you have one voice the concept of one as it splits into seven or 70 right we know the number 70 relates to the fact that there are sh there are 70 facets 70 different ways of looking at the but really what it means is that each and every one of us has our own the the the the Tyra speaks but we each hear the T in our language we each hear the T as it applies to us we're obligated to to try our best to understand what does the T say to me what is God's message for me what is hashem's Will for me personally seems to be saying but it's a voice that we all heard at Mount sin we heard the same voice but we all heard it individually the speaks to us individually interesting were the two they they would often argue in the G brought him into the fold brought him back into learning Torah so Rish says says the indication of the is that Hashem spoke then and that voice as we said in the beginning of the M that voice speaks through all the generations is saying it's manifest to each individual in their own language in their own understanding and says it's manifest throughout time the Rabon say that the indication of this PK is that it wasn't an echo of God's voice but it's actually The Voice itself we heard the voice itself of [Music] Hashem let's see the continuation of the what does it mean in the verse when it says that the voice of is in power if you have one Mal one angel of God nobody can withstand the power power of that angel if it would speak if hasem speaks right let's see let's see what it says over [Music] here why does hasm need to speak loudly or is there's two different ways I could understand this either it means that hem speaks so loudly that you can't possibly withstand that type of Voice or Hashem speaks in a way that you don't doesn't need any effort so what does it mean when it says so the says what does this mean explains Hashem speaks to us when we hear the voice the amazing thing about hashem's voice is that when it speaks to us it speaks to us where we are if I'm an old person it speaks to me in the voice then an old person needs to hear person has life experience so here's a different thing here's there's something that's going to inspire you depending on where you are in your station in life and you might hear the same voice you might hear the same div Tor you might listen to this tor and come out of it with one one idea and you might listen to it and come out with a different idea then that's the power of Torah that it's en that it's all encompassing and that's the power of the original Terah that was given the voice of Hashem that spoke at Mount Si I'm going to read to you a little bit more the indication here is that the voice was louder or softer according to what a person could handle according to there was one voice the only difference was that it split down into 70 different languages he says that the last thing that's brought in the mes is coming according to okay I'm not going to get into this I'm not going to get into this but what I would like to bring down and uh try to understand for ourselves what we can take out of this is that we think of we think of man Torah as as perhaps a celebration of something that happened in the past or or we think of it as something which it's a night of learning Torah it's a night of receiving the Torah a new but the mag is saying something much deeper than that the mag is saying that the voice The Voice ofes the sound of his voice as he gave the Torah to the Jewish people it never stopped it never stopped it it speaks through the generations and even when we speak today it's just it's like it's like a we're being transported in a time machine to the year 2448 when God spoke and God gave the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount sa there was there's nothing new that we're saying even though it's very new even though it's the biggest KES you can say an unbelievable idea in the Torah that nobody ever thought of no one ever heard of but it's not new because it's and at the same time it's so new because everything that happened on the sixth of Sion in the year 2448 that voice that was heard was the newest voice it was the the foundation of creation so it was the newness the tah is the blueprint of creation the Torah is the foundation of creation and so if we're speaking now we're saying something it's because we heard it then a prophet said something you know uh you know Hashem promises in the Torah that the Jewish people are going to enter the land of Israel we're going to make mistakes we're going to need to be chastised we're going to be need to it's going to be necessary to tell us off and to put us back in our place and the N had that n the foundation for that n it was there it was something that they received all the way back in the year 2448 and it took time for it to be expressed but really what this Mage seems to be saying there's a which means that the voice the sound that we're still hearing today attaches us it's a time machine as we go into we're entering into a time machine my friends we're entering into a a Vortex a Time Vortex we are Beyond time and space we are back in the year 2448 what we received then we received it then and now it's manifest and what is Manifest in the year 5784 what is the ti that we're supposed to hear today so amazingly as we read a medish together which was written 1500 2,000 years ago I don't know exactly when it was written down but what we're really doing as we read a medish together as we read thees which was written 3,300 years ago as we study the T the gar the talud as we even study the newer it's the r or whether it's the whether it's the any of the that are written today or in the last 500 years whatever we need to understand that we are in the time machine and we're in the time machine and who sees all of time as one there's a of it's not just that that voice of hasem extends to us where we are in time but it's really us being drawn back to that moment and also in in implicit in that is that God who spoke at that moment sees all of time and extends his voice out into all of time because all of the time for him he's y he was he is he will be for all for him for God time is all the same there's no past present future God is omnipresent he's Beyond Time and so he knows what needs to be said and when it needs to be said how it will unravel and how it will manifest but it's all there at the beginning because the beginning as it says in the end is embedded in the beginning and the beginning is embedded in the end all that unravels is all that unravels in time is really expressed in thought in the original thought of a so here we are 3,300 years later trying trying to to figure out what indeed is it that's in our hand Mali in his hand he had a he had a prophecy that was for his time but it was in his hand since the time of har yesi he had a prophecy that was in his hand and each one of us we can grab on we can access we can look at we can try to understand what is it that is the message for me in this moment which the T put in the bottle we F it's you know it's like it's we we're on the beach and we we find a bottle and inside of the bottle we open it up and there's a message from thousands of years ago can you imagine that the excitement what is the message we have that little bottle we have that little lost treasure chest and it's called a Tyra and it speaks to me right here right now it's it's a message that was placed here in the bottle with forethought with the vision with the awareness God himself knows where all of history will will go where it will head and you knew there's going to be a Jew in the land of Israel in a place called raes who's going to be saying over D Torah that's going to be listened to in all kinds of different locations in the world in Israel in in Europe in America and he planted this very Torah right here for us to hear so that we can know that that the t is relevant it's it's as new as new can be it's always relevant it's always new it always has to do with us because it was given then but it was really given today it was really given now the tah the the amazing the amazing thing that this mag is saying is that although the Torah was given 3,300 years ago it was given today and so I want to bless you and I ask you to bless me should help us that we should be able to here to look for to unearth the amazing hidden message the amazing hidden treasure that's contained within the Torah that each and every one of us has an opportunity to learn we should be able to recognize and resonate with a message that's for each and every one of us individually we should be able to hear in our language in our in the in the very way that we are lit up in the very way that we are inspired hm should help us to hear what we need to hear from the Torah thank you so much for listening have a wonderful sh we'll see you again another
