[Music] alright so if I there's kiss life I couldn't hide the show anybody mouseau tickets of the Hainish its worst carnage today what is kiss slave so I want to share with you the fact that the Jewish months actually have Mesopotamian and Babylonian origin imagine from Mesopotamia not Jewish from Mesopotamia on Babylonia that's what the names come from freshmen kiss slave hey face not Jewish charging yet cuz all the rabbi's teach us that although it has Mesopotamian a Babylonian origin the word has a tremendous correlation and etymology that is rooted in motion decoders as well and as a tremendous so did she met a secret to resplendent with tremendous splendor so what am I meaning so first I want to share with you that it's not so far it's not so simple that Babylonia Mesopotamia is what we call let's say just one thing the Gomorrah says the Talmud attractive softened up a sign of a base says that Babylonia modern-day Iraq is actually called Iman shall use realm is the matriarch of the Jewish people Iraq Babylonia not Erik Estrada that says of Babylonia is eman the mother of clyro what does this mean how could be the Babylonians the mother flies drove says the marsh are unbelievable he says the marshal says because the genealogy the genesis of Claudius role of you describe began in on other than Babylonia because avril lavigne o was from Babylonia so ask them before she what do you mean I will be okay from her on her on seemingly was in Turkey not in Babylon not in Iraq but or a costume was in Babylonia and that is where the Renaissance happened that is where habla veena started showing his conviction his temerity his fortitude his faith and spreading the ideals of values of godliness to the world where he was thrown into a furnace because of his philosophy and convictions in his ideology and that's what about what is called Iman shelling straw because Iman means ahuna a mother means emunah any woman here pass within the ability to convey to impart to inculcate emunah because that's what aim is all about and mooners aim and the faith of clients are all the faith of the Jewish people began in war in Babylonia and that's why I Babylonians call teman show you Sorel the mother of the Jewish people there's another answer sesmar showed the glory census unhatched dobbins i am a base sasikumar that auto racial primordial man his head came from the Land of Israel that's where his head came from but his body was actually created from Babylonian and therefore since the majority of our bodies was constructed was filled through Babylonia that's where it's called a mother of the people the Jewish people says reveals wrangle an amazing idea he says def hava the first woman came from not the head but came from the body of other rashad and that's why it's well even choice Rob because Cabo was the mother of the Jewish people and she came from the body which was transplanted from none other than Babylonia yet yet it's a Babylonian name but kiss slave means kiss a llama dwarf Kee soy Huff's amicus and cover and it means that llama drama club is 36 the 36 is covered in kiss leg what is 36 when they're born showman the master of the universe created the world he said by gorilla Kimmy you are let there be light according to cause serious harm this is the first commandment ever given to humanity where God was saying lie off the world illuminate the world bring light Kindles and souls bring bad people make light what happened to that light this is off like SB to rebuke him in the forehead rigaku says that this light was actually concealed after creation and hidden away go news who is a secret of light obscure light clandestine light and the Thummim saying that the lobby actually stayed until the fourth day and was synonymous almost with the son of the solar light that got three in the fourth thing but one was other bows and human being privy to the slight I'll don't had this light when he was created a friday until shabbos Scottish 36 hours he had the slight says ignore Mikey Gaddafi obeys the Talmud says incognito page 12 that this light was a noble and enabled on de marisol to see me cipher I'm a lot suffer the entire span of planet Earth he was able to see it was a translucent who was a transparent it wasn't opaque it was a light that enabled all don't to see everything what's me was able to see everything sassa nefesh if I am required velocity says that it means that is able to see the entire reality of the world seriously a freaking out another shot he says that it means that was no refraction of the light it means that he was able to see there's a pristine light that was totally transparent and went to slide he was able to see from one hand to the earth and to the other end of the earth says ravine Funaro the same idea there was a certain type of special special light what's interesting is that the Camorra says in need of dolphin AMA database that every baby mullets a fetus in the womb of a mother got to hear this amazing every baby has the ability to see me so phylum unsafely from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth now the hybrids Rock'em evidence says that what it means is that every person is a miniature world along khatam so he says it means that the baby is privy the baby is able to see its entire history from it's very very beginning I'll till the end when it's good eventually going to die the baby is privy to all that information that's what he says it means but the Donora also says that there's a light hovering over a candle hovering over the fetus while it's in utero wallets in the womb of its mommy it says for Sheldon of new stock who is the Rebbe of Maha real going back to the 14th century 13th century you know what he says he says you look at any little child all little children or babies could try this at home with your children or grandchildren or whoever that you love any little children you love try it take a baby and see how it's naturally attracted as an affinity has a certain type of attachment to a flickering candle to an illumination to light why is it baby gravitate why does a baby like light so much says rochelle new stat the rebbe them are real because while i was in utero vows in the womb it had that candle and it's reminiscent it reminds the baby of being ensconced enveloped being secured and comforted in the most pristine it says that hamara says that this is the happiest state that the baby will ever find itself in and it brings back those memories of supplying ecstasy and joy so the baby sees everything just like other racial saw everything let's go back to 36 hours although i've had this life for 36 hours but it was tucked away the light was hidden away for the future where did it go sezer okay of her blood work at one of the ball eat oysters from the 12th century says Rukia that if you count the Hanukkah candles and kiss leaf key silly lawmen is slave of contraction hidden away 36 as a permutation because every day you light a candle so if you geometric progressions go one two three four five six seven eight add it all up it's the totality is 36 it's hidden away the 36 it's you want to tap into the sanctity want to tap into the holiness you want attack to tap into that clear voice ii it's that amazing prophecy where you can see everything it's all the 36 candles says it's been a saucer that that's why he says that people should like 36 shabbos candles every single week because shabbos reenacts shabbos retreats i don't recommend it taryn advice it's you know not don't try that it on 36 games but it's all there it's all there says the Baal Shem Tov that when you studies all are especially you can actually go ahead and tap into that light there was actually a story of know somebody that was kidnapped and they didn't know they whereabouts of this child and they weren't to this octave he opened up this are he looked into his eyes that he said he plotted out on a map exactly where the child is how do you know this he's understand he says wasn't there a light that Adam saw the entire world says I could see the entire world because I started a tournament that light was concealed in the tower condition so whether it's in the 36 candles or the torrent a daily basis it's there the key soy one would both and this is a month of tremendous holiness it's a month of light it's a tremendous month 36 36 subdeacon did a lot of all mix landed bumps I think of in every generation but furthermore what century you got to hear this what century diplodocus aladdin in human history and from BCE from the Jewish calendar it actually came out in the year 3622 BCE 36 22 36 century 36 so what am I talking about this you know that in the Tartan off torrent of Enoch pseudonym there's only one woman a very distinct distinguished unique woman in which the Torah actually tells you the date of her death rather how many years she lived only woman in Turin navee an egg-cellent ain't aren't enough who was that woman how did you know that that's another the museum proficient in the entire it's enough okay yours last week's parsha two weeks ago was how you start right but how do you know that up so it's actually a very interesting it's an anomaly the entire Torah there's only one woman denied or who gives you that how old she was when she dark many men even you swab who was wicked say you did you bet then tell Sushma Lazar g37 when he died levena was 175 when he died you're safe italic was 110 when he died many many many many personalities and tells you their age when they die the woman there's only one woman what one so this is a question test for their ok it says by the respond there's bombers rushees grants or small the mayor it says by the middle of Lula it's a spiral the are high my conscience as far as shanshu fall her chez les question I mean sorrow is great for the remaining great woman there are many promises there are many heroines of the Jewish people he got be careful he said where heroin today cookies alright this great woman illustrious woman so you know it's the real cow says he says you know why this go Sarah was the founder of the Jewish people she was the one that imparted the moona the faith she was on a Connell class she was a renaissance woman she was the initiator she was a catalyzer there was no one glaring at her she said they were like you know call Batman or Robin I'm roman's sorrow right I'll run to the man sorry did the one they changed the face of yours and that's why she the mental blue lo says another reason is this you know why I had to tell you sorry may know is because sorry man was the first person in recorded history that was buried in the cave of the patriarchs and make sure some of us on a failing I'll gonna thought were there but start doesn't tell us that explicitly recorded who was the only person the first person that says was buried there now Martha Bella wasn't easy to get he had to negotiate with his Kanaan him named Ephraim was it easy there was a whole transaction that occurred there's a whole business deal that occurred so one there you go sir it's not yours it's all yours how do I know it's ours and therefore the Torah girl's avatar tells you how old sorrow was 127 and through the chronology you could actually through the history can figure out precisely the year then the Morris on fellas was was purchased you oughta comoros esta muy sencilla variously mara says baa-baa Surikov some offense in the bases with more says tomorrow says avira Daryl Malcolm that the Land of Israel the Land of Israel the environment the atmosphere of Israel it enlightens you it makes you smarter now I got to tell you the truth a lot of kids they boys and girls that go to study and I get a lot of calls you know where should I set my son wish I sent my daughter it's not an easy should I send them maybe you should go to Israel it's a good question should they go should they go but everybody thinks it's a quick fix you know my kitchen that you know has this issue Senate is real you know what they have an Israel is place of it were a petopia like supposed to look at the gun a very strong new Schleim it's the most of course the holiest place on earth but there's plenty of diversions distractions and plenty of plenty of places where houses on the bathrooms get a producer is a whole mountain you that there's a whole shook over and the many kids get introduced over there to the wrong things for the first time so what does it mean that the Land of Israel goes out it makes you wise and smart and intelligent and built you acumen and built serve your faculties and gives you a certain cognizance you didn't have before and aware seen that before so I want to share with you that there was actually a survey done in 2011 you won't believe this 2011 a survey done of the most educated countries the brightest people on earth ok you know you don't never believe who ranked right they all the countries were evaluated and who ranked number two number two from the entire globe you let don't believe it none other then Eric sister off Shh now there is strong are strong geographically is my new tits the size of the state of New Jersey as far as longevity is concerned it's an infant it's barely seven years old compared to another ancient civilizations right I mean of course heard stroll has long long history of the richest history the long history in the world was st. but we were was in disrepair it was basically for thousands of years there was nobody Lewis kamat there was no church so you know what was actually what followed Israel Japan was number three Americans know before and what won the prize for number one the Canadians don't forget that all right are Canadians I don't know how can I carry the 100k but i've eard urts from asking what does this mean that either strung off words mean that hurts row makes you watching you go there it makes you watch some abortion say like that since it says tangles all from the ocular give to a wise person and you'll make him even wiser so means our hug most out of the vacuum altima means that you have to be receptacle for the wisdom you have to be a product to receive them have to have initial wisdom in order to receive more wisdom so it's not sorry about somebody who goes here is a total ignoramus necessarily or it doesn't have any tradition it means that somebody who has something and therefore analyses like this you know anybody that ever took high school or college chemistry so you'll know that if you're starting from the textbook you learn about all these formulas it's very abstract very very hard very confounding and very troubling very hard to conceive and to fathom to understand but once you step into the laboratory you start mixing you make a compound can take the formula and you you said wow it's only tangible something palatable something you finally understand knows it was it the textbook are you able to go ahead you able to take a test you able to get it right but you've never really understood it when you're in America you learn about the Torah kenosha yeah you get it yeah my grandparents did my great grandparents my parents even did it I continued the tradition but once you step foot in herds Israel it's a fear into Eric's Astro laughs Kim the Land of Israel it makes you smarter because you go into Israel is like the labyrinth where you stepping foot lahaa feel into a laboratory all of a sudden you see cave arafah mama ruffle and bass lesson you seem are soft pale and federal you see the cursor on a rubbing in you shall I wow it's all true it really does exist everything I learned about it becomes real I'm sure if your story that happened to me my alters say to my grandfather's father for Shimon lighters itself wrote the Alcan photos is a very holy man and was into kabalo as well so he very much want to be buried in fuss and the old cemetery of us now is his that was his charge so my first time in are too strong it took me a long time to get I never had to find it i took i was obviously the first time i wish i was actually going to be a Rebbe and you Shiva there so I wasn't but I wanted very much to see my altas a my grandfather's father so made a trip that's fast anybody that knows the old cemetery sauce it's not easy to navigate there's no legends as no Maps you know you get really it's very very difficult and I couldn't find it I cannot find his caver so I'm basically I'm groping in the dark I'm trying to find my way and I have to share with you that when I was no a child there's something that we were taught in school that really left an impression upon me and that sort of also gave me nightmares and what was it it was a story of the Gomorrah and getting tells the story like this it's in da fone own vomit on base again it's also brought down at yo Cephas in Joplin and Josephus and you'll see phone social pretend the book of Maccabees said there was a woman who most reported name is Hannibal does this happen in the time of the time in konechno where the Syrian Greeks wants to make what was called a polyglot Empire ecumenism we're basically that you know everybody was equal utopia and to glorify and to vilify the soul and to glorify the body that's what it's all about and that everybody would have the certain type of harmony and peace and the meantime in the name of harmony and peace what they do they forced the Jews to try to give up their you destroyed their principles and he called one particular family this particular family the woman had seven sons and from one child to another child to another child he try to compel the child to go ahead and to give up huge going he's giving it all up and he said you know basically says I wanted to bow down to me I want to prostrate yourself to me and these were little children but they were so principal they understood what faith is all about and they refused to give it up and he barbarically went ahead have butchered them up he he killed one after another then eventually after all seven kids were killed the mother herself also got killed and Konnan or seven sons I always heard the story you know and always you know it's it's something that made of searing impression upon me but also you know you think about it a night it's not so pleasant to think about I always wondered you know did this really and then I was I was late for my great grandfather's grave I stumbled I tripped and I opened up my eyes and what do I see palmate mom here lies kana show up and out kana and her seven sons I'm telling you I had such a rush of emotions I was crying like a baby so what so really is true it happened it happened you know there are people that will never ever doubt the fact that was a Benjamin Franklin they will never doubt the fact that was an American Revolution they'll never doubt the fact was Boston Tea Party and they'll tell you the torrent what isn't true the history is immutable history is inviolable of course of course it happened when you see it firsthand Wow eventually I found my great-grandfather's caper as
