Pesach - Spiritual Light and Judgment
473 views
Why does the gemara in Rosh Hashana say that all three of the holidays are times of judgment - Pesach, Shavuos, and Succos? Why are they specifically linked to a judgment around our physical sustenance? Why are there special commandments to fulfill for these holidays? Why did the same angels come to inform Avraham of the impending miraculous birth of Yitzchak, and also to destroy Sodom? Why was Sodom destroyed at the same moment in history as the advent of Am Yisrael? Why were the Egyptians decimated by the very same spiritual power that freed the Jewish people from bandage? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

you're listening to the weekly partial
podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with
a channels never earning assistance in
her mom patient she's real 57 at2020
this week we don't have a parsha it's
going to be pays off I just wanted to
share with you a thought about Pesach
which i think is very much connected
with the experience you are all having
and I think that we need to understand
what's going on and in my personal
opinion I believe we're really close to
Tom's Messiah and I'm sure a lot of
people are saying it but just wanted to
understand there's something fundamental
that goes on with the advent of mashiac
I mentioned the last week's podcast has
two GOG Magog and there's a deep idea a
deep thought that I once shared on the
parsha podcast it's also in my safe air
perfectly imperfect and it has to do
with what happens in a time of
Revelation what happens in a time when I
kodesh borrow who is revealing himself
to the world and I want to preface the
idea with a few questions that have to
do with push-up shot simple
understanding of a Gomorrah come on Rosh
Hashana that says we should be ibuprofen
vitamin E doing that there are four
times a year when the world is judged we
know of course that Shauna there's a
judgment but but the Gemara tells us
there are four different times when
there's judgment para para una pesca
hallelula mon Pesach were judged in
regards to par NASA in regards to our
the grains but but Sarah's up al parecer
Ilan on shoes there's a judgment in
regards to the fruits with cognate an
unarmed I'm and as far as how much rain
we're going to have that's determined on
circus so that's why we have the trio of
gaseum on circus that's why we know that
there is an aspect of I'm sure yet sir
I'm sorry on perforce minute Sarah's on
Shana raba there's an idea of a Yama
Dean we work it till the husband wears a
kettle by moseph and each of the three
hugging we have add-in we have a
judgment and of course we also have a
judgment on Rosh Hashanah but
interestingly all
these judgments have to do with Pernod
so with our livelihood and the
livelihood has to do simply with our
sustenance in this world on the simple
level but also has to do with our
ability to relate taco - beaucoup hash
and put us in this world and therefore
we need to be able to live here in this
world we need to be sustained and the
sustenance that we get is provided for
direct directly from a code of Oracle
from a Shem so when there's a judgement
about our sustenance it's a judgement
and you know we see on on an outer level
we see it as you know this is how we're
being sustained physically the partners
that we have how much money we have but
it really has to do with our
relationship with Hashem because Hashem
is the one who gives us our partner so
it gives us our livelihood and if
there's something happening with our
livelihood that's broken if there's
something happening with the chef and
the entire world like today is there's
something going on there's something
broken about it it means that there's
something happening in a shed wash em
relates to the world and brings his
sheva his sustenance into the world so
it's important to understand this is
very fundamental there's a judgment that
happens on Pesach and on and on shoes
and on circus and I'm not sure tion of
course and it's also important I mean
think about it omits rhyme what were the
things where were besides for the fact
that we have the blue macaws macclare is
where the people the the oldest died and
we had other things the shame which
happened to the people themselves but
the borrowed and the Arbour and the
different there were a few of the the
the first maka of blood all affected
directly the sustenance the food the
food of the Egyptians because that has
to do with arts physical ability to be
sustained has to do directly it
corresponds to our connection to
Akhilesh more cool so when our shem
brought these plagues upon the egyptians
it was to show that they are
disconnected from a kadesha Buraku and
it was to show that Hashem is still
connected to the Jewish people which was
why the Jewish people were not affected
by those those plagues
that's how hora to understand what's
going on
in on Pesach at understand what's going
on with the plagues with what happened
in its rhyme but it also helps us to
understand what's going on today but the
question that I have the question that
bothers me as we read this Mishnah and
we hear that Pesach shoe is sook is Rosh
Hashanah Jesus times of DIN to the times
of judgment so we're used to thinking
about the judgment insofar as Rosh
Hashanah we know it's a day - today
we're in shoe all day it's a day where
there's a it's a subdued day it's a day
when we don't have the same level of joy
perhaps we don't we certainly don't say
we don't say hallo but we don't think of
Pesach and choice and circus as a time
of din we don't think of it as a time of
judgment what is the idea that Pesach is
a time of judgment if anything is the
time when we're doing extra misses with
them and so Matt saw them it so tomorrow
well them it's a simcha of joy on
suckers who is special misses that we
have on those times the carbon or I'm
air we have on Pesach we have the
bickerin on choice we have on circus we
have the minstrels of circus and we have
the Mitzvah of a little bit Eric it's a
time of joy of simcha you saw off Samara
time of DIN time of judgment how does
that coincide with the has a coincide
with the regulan with the times of joy
the times of closest to our Kaddish more
cool what's the idea behind this din
that goes on on Pesach so in order to
understand it this is what I wanted to
this is what I mentioned at the
beginning not to understand it this
Voort that I wrote in my safer which was
said many years ago in the partial
podcast we were doing these partial
podcasts for close to 13 years there's
wrath of Shem towards the beginning so
there was a war a deep idea which I was
there to understand
because really when we ask questions the
more we ask questions which is of course
what the Pesach Seder is about the more
we ask questions - Tannehill ila is then
the more we ask questions the more we
begin to understand because the question
is always unlock and open up a deeper
understanding of something that's going
on because there's always a depth
especially of course in the Taira
there's always a depth if we look at
real
if we look at what's going on in the
world and we ask questions we start to
see that there's something going on
because every single thing is from a
code the shabak loom
it's another question that I that I had
powerful question Avraham Avinu from
avinu he's sitting by the opening of his
tent he's waiting for
he's wait he just had his bris he's
waiting for for travelers to pass by so
he can do he said he can have work whom
you can have guests and when did this
story happen so as I'll tell us that the
story happened
Pesach time it was Pesach and the turret
and the Tara tells us why about that
Shem took out come I mean articulation
took out the Sun from its sheath and
there's other places in Tanakh or in
Kazan where we find that our Sun takes
out the Sun from its sheath we'll see
what that means soon but Hashem sent
these Malakand these angels to inform
avril lavigne first of all to heal him
from the bris second Walt inform him and
Sarah that they're going to have a child
and third of all they were to come to
destroy Saddam those same Malakand who
were there to do to do that they were
gonna go to Saddam save/load and
overturn overturn Saddam destroy Saddam
and a question that I have question that
bothers me which needs explanation which
opens up a tremendous tremendous deep
insight why were first of all why was it
the same Elohim why was it the same
Malakand why during this entire
description of the fact that Yitzhak is
about to be conceived why at that moment
was it that those mala ham were to go
and destroy Saddam and to save load and
and I remove Ino has a conversation with
a coach probably to save sad I'm a sham
says basically no why is all of that
happening at the same time why is it at
the same moment in history that Saddam
was being destroyed by same Elohim who
came to inform about the imminent birth
of Yitzhak Aveeno of Isaac what what is
the connection between these two
cataclysmic events powerful events now
the foundation over here is an amazing
idea and says Hashem is Hoyts he hung
tico it says that in the future time
it's also come on rosh hashanah then in
the future time there's going to be a um
hide in a girdle there's going to be a
great day of judgment it's not clear
it's talking that right before mushiya
we're talking about in the year 6,000
right before the times of I love my book
the future world right we still got a
220 years or so until that time but
there's going to be ad in my sham is
going to take out as it were doesn't say
I don't think it says the word so the
Sun out of its sheath but it takes out a
spiritual light it takes out the true
light which is behind the Sun which
gives sustenance to the world here's
that word sustenance again which is
really Hashem Hashem himself as it were
Shems light as it were he takes out that
light and two things happen this is love
cause I'll say two things happen that
said the game Arn enemies of Athena the
righteous ones they enjoy they get a
benefit from the light they get they get
warmed they get enjoyment and they get
amazing spiritual enjoyment from the
light of Hashem that's revealed but the
regime are burned the regime are
destroyed by that sir very same light a
very same light it has it has the
opposite effect on that tsadikim as
honor is shine the righteous and the
wicked and we see that this is something
which happened in its rhyme in Egypt
what happened the same light the same
light Redemption ashen was taking out
that awesome light of redemption in
order to save his special people his AMA
sigil his nation and the result was what
they were lifted up with all you sell or
buy McCoy's him during the darkness the
Jewish people had light and at the same
exact moment that tsadikim the righteous
those who are truly the good ones in the
world
right there's so much darkness there we
don't see the truth but at the moment of
spiritual revelation at the moment of
spiritual revelation of color who in the
world he shown himself to be part of
nature to be part of the world to be to
be intimately involved in the world at
that moment two things happen the
righteous are lifted up
mush pill game um hashem lifts up the
righteous and he lowers the haughty he
lowers those who are unworthy those who
are evil the midstream are being
destroyed by the lights the experienced
10 Marcus 10 plagues the Jews at the
same moment are being lifted up one
level after another to the point where
they are freed for all times and they
enter into a true relationship with a
kodesh burro who why because they were
chosen why because they are righteous
why because the truth is on their side
because they are the ones who were
chosen by Hashem and a promise was made
now listen this is amazing this is so
deep it's so beautiful this is what was
going on in the times of Avram Aveeno in
terms of Abraham era Medina was there
was about to be a new revelation in the
world called Claudius relegates cook
Isaac was gonna be born yeah it's cook
laughter that's what his name means use
of means to laugh an amazing thing
no sir I'm a no 90 year old woman 100
year old man they're gonna have a child
what an incredible revelation about
kodesh Marcos Ciotti dish my his his
divine providence in the world
unbelievable thing miraculous beginning
for the Jewish people that's about to
happen now whenever that kind of light
comes into the world alongside the light
is darkness and judgment that's that's
the rule that's how it works
whenever I could just work who is
bringing the world into a new stage
there's it's accompanied by darkness you
don't have to look further than about 75
years ago I was a tremendous darkness
that hovered over the entire world and
what was the result a new stage in the
annals of mankind unpressed at a time
whether it's technology whether it's the
amount of food the method human beings
that have been born our seven point
seven billion people in the world now
the the result of amazing advances in
science so many things advances in
medicine all of these things it heralded
a brand-new time of sustenance from a
Kaddish for who from God into the world
into mankind now when that new stage
happens
it's accompanied by a time of judgment a
time of difficulty a time of challenge
and that's what happened in the time of
its rhyme in the time of Egypt that's
what happened the time of our movie no
Saddam they were evil they had to be
destroyed why because as I shall reveal
some self more as light comes into the
world
there's it comes along with there's a
revelation of truth and the revelation
of truth requires that there be that
would the wicked are destroyed and the
righteous are lifted up that's what
happened with Avram album was about to
be lifted up at the same moment Saddam
is destroyed the cloth the Jewish people
aren't Pesach at the exodus from Egypt
they're about to be lifted up the same
moment those who had done wrong those
who have behaved wickedly they're
destroyed the evil is destroyed at the
moment that the the good is revealed
that's what happens now on a microcosmic
level every single year we have an
awesome revelation of a kodesh particle
of God in the world when does that
happen
every single year on the Melea team
right where do they call the holidays
are called Maya D mode doesn't mean a
holiday doesn't even mean holiday from
the you know holy day it is true it's a
holy day same Kadosh but a mo it means a
meeting means a time of meeting right
oil no heed the tabernacle Michigan was
called a place of meeting oil might
what's the idea of a mode what's the
idea of the of the yummy meat item that
we have
Pesach Lewis su kiss Rosh Hashanah the
idea is it's a timer we meet hakodesh
beaucoup where God reveals himself more
in the world why do we have these
mitzvahs why do we have the commandments
first of all red sucker - world's
acquisition wants to purify us but
besides for that because we're in a
deeper relationship we're not go - bro
who with God on the on these time some
is revealing himself more in these times
so first of all we need to do things to
make sure we're on the side of goodness
to make sure that we're on the side of
righteousness right because like the
Moorish bro who reveals there's also a
judgment that comes along with it
that's what's going on on Pesach and
shwoo is in circus there's a time of
judgment it's a time of difficulty
it's a timeout coach Baku is looking at
us more carefully so a Shem says here I
I have some ideas for you you're being
judged on Torah
you're gonna be judged about on Pesach
there's a judgement about your
sustenance in regards to the grains
bring the carbon huh Amir I want you to
do something that shows your
righteousness so that I can judge you in
a righteous way so that you're on the
side of good so that you receive my
light instead of having forbid the
opposite Anshu is we have a mitzvah we
have a mitzvah chorim why because we're
about to be judged on the Paris Oh No
are we gonna have that sustenance from a
coalition of who each and every time
it's about a sham revealing his light
and there's a build-up between Pesach
and Shoeless you won't understand why
was it that the tongue medium of rebbi
akiva died 24,000 tell me know my rebbi
akiva died between pay seven choice why
is this a time of judgment if anything
it's a time of joy it's a time of
Awesomeness it's time of wow we're about
to receive the tire we have seven weeks
leading up to to receiving the tire but
it's a time of Revelation because it's a
time of Revelation it's also a time of
deeper judgment it's a time when we need
to be more sensitive to others it's a
time when we need to be upping our game
in our in the hiset department in that
in the area of doing kindness to others
and our being either Mahavira our
relationships with our spouse our
relationship with our children and I
know it's a challenging time of course
that we're living in this awesome
awesome challenging difficult time and I
want to mention something which I said
in the in the be talking group which we
meet every Sunday on this past Sunday I
somebody asked the question and and
question is how do we face off with this
challenge it's an amazingly difficult
thing
people are dying thousands of people are
dying of Rahman Allah son so we should
save us so time of judgment of DIN how
do we face it how do we deal with it how
do we respond to it and one of the
things that I said which I heard from my
Russia Shiva for my my pair is that when
it comes to facing off with dim with
judgment our response needs to be quiet
we don't understand
we don't understand he was once asked
about in issue of for occur when Toshiba
repairs Russia Shiva so they have a
Holocaust program there was a teacher
there mr. Cohen so long as auntie should
be well who was a Holocaust survivor and
he taught this program so repair was
asked you know how can we teach
Holocaust Edition we tell the the whole
truth our students it's too awesome it's
too difficult and he said that when it
comes to something which is difficult
and so hard to deal with we need to say
the truth we can't cover it up and we
need to say we don't understand it's so
important to say I don't understand I
don't know what's going on I don't
understand why the never Minsk already
passed away I don't understand that I
don't understand why so many great
tsadikim have died I don't understand it
I don't understand why people are
passing away it's so difficult to
understand the whole world's been thrown
into a tizzy how do we relate to that
how do we understand we don't understand
it it's important to know that we don't
understand it's important to respect it
it's important to respect there's
certain holiness there's a certain
kedusha that's in the place of darkness
and we need to respect and at the same
time we need to know there's a nahama at
the same time there's a consolation that
when a Shem brings judgment into the
world its accompanying with a revelation
of his light we can't you know the
muscle that I gave is sometimes a child
runs into the street and the child needs
to get a patch now after it's there have
been times I've given my children a
patch and after that patch they don't
want a hug from me I send my wife or I
send my daughter to give the baby a hug
in a moment of darkness the moment of
pain we don't see how it's from our
coalition walk we don't see the how it's
from a Shem but a few hours later I can
give my child and I do I make sure to
because cuz I'll say you're supposed to
push away with your left hand and pull
in with your right hand you need to use
your stronger hand to show love your
weaker hand to show judgment we can be
assured that although a college for who
is pushing us away in a certain sense
chuckles boy who is giving us a patch
and we don't stand why we're that child
doesn't doesn't really relate to it yeah
we know that Kadesh beaucoup
Muruga me the taifa hashem is good side
as it were
Hashem is me the type of his good
attribute is stronger than his his
negative side and so we need to be
assured we need to know that just as it
was in the times of Alma V knew there
was a revelation about to happen it was
a company with with difficulty for
sublime destruction of the regime just
like it wasn't mitzrayim when it was
about to be a cultural who was taking
out the Jewish nation one point one and
a half million people slaves to be freed
to be allowed to come to receive the
Torah to enter into artiste realm
it was accompanied by the destruction of
the evil and every single time we have a
Pesach an - wuis and a circus there's a
revelation of a code issue that's
happening in the world and it's a
company with a DIN are we going to be
sustained we're going to continue to be
sustained will we continue to have
pernessa we need to step up we need to
focus on the opportunities that present
themselves
Pesach the midst of matzah there's so
many mitzvahs so many opportunities when
I said within our homes we need to step
up to the plate to our challenges and we
need to say Hakodesh Baro who I want to
be on the side of tithe I know there's a
judgement now i knows it judgment going
on in the world but i also know that
that judgment is accompanied by a
revelation of your light i want to tap
in and i want to be part of your light a
college bar who that side of tithe i
want to be Zeca in the judgment hunt
Pesach through choice through circus I
want and Rosh Hashanah all of these
times I want to be Zeta I want to merit
to be the side of good and the way that
we merit that is by strengthening
ourselves as we've said strengthening
the side of good being on the side of
the tsadikim being
side of toys I want to bless you and ask
you to bless me some should help us to
be able to face off with the amazing
challenge of today of our time to face
off and recognize that this is an
opportunity for growth an opportunity
for rededication Darby tahun our trust
in a shine that just like he took us out
of mitzraim just like he redeemed us
then and just like it's always been so
that there have been times of challenge
and I could have swore who was always
there holding our hand throughout the
challenge made may it be so that we also
recognize that he is here with us in our
present challenge and the purpose of the
challenge is in order to reveal his
light so that we can all be Zeca and
merit to see the Binion base hammock -
the rebuilding of the temple and the
open revelation of hashem in the world
that time where the verse says mala are
its de-ice hashem when the world will be
filled with the knowledge of a Shanda
