>> Okay, welcome everyone.
Paras Balak.
So the topic of tonight's sh it's really
uh a mindboggling approach to
understanding parasal and really
understanding the definition of Tory in
general. What is the definition of Tyra?
What is the difference between Tory as
opposed to the Naveim? What is the main
difference between
and the books of the so if you listen
look in paras you'll notice that there
is a phenomenon in parasalik that kat
does not exist in any other para and
that is from the beginning of the para
until close to the end of the para there
are no interruptions in the para there
are no pays and there are no sachs
um so what's a And what's a nois and
there no stumis. In other words, a pay
is when you have an open para where the
next segment begins on the next line.
And a is when you have four spaces of
letters in the in the Torah. And an
amazing thing is in paras from the
beginning of the episode until
the very end of the para there are no
openings and there are no uh clo there
are no open paras or no closed paras.
It's one continuous para one of the only
places in the Torah where you have this
manyim and it seems to be just one runon
one run-on episode. So what's the
meaning of that? Why would that be? So
this is a phenomenon that the uh the
picks up on and observes and points out
that there is a very important reason
why there are no pay and there no saks
in paral and that is the says the reason
is
because you see in life everybody knows
there are five senses you know you could
see and you could hear and you could
taste and you could touch and you could
smell those are the five senses that All
mankind has but says really there is
another sense and that is the sense of
being npile the sense of being moved by
something if you see something unusual
to contemplate and realize well what's
going on over here and this was a sense
that Bam did not have how is that here
Bum is witnessing one of the most
astounding miracles in history he's he's
getting a drussa from a donkey the
donkey opens up his mouth and the donkey
starts talking to Bum
So most people, you know, if your car
starts talking to you, you say, "What?"
Say, "What? What in the world is going
on over here, you know, most people
would be shocked, would be surprised,
would be flabbergasted. Some people
might even faint if they hear nowadays
cars do talk to you." But um and Bum
instead of being surprised, instead of
being shocked, Bum's reaction is he
talks back. Ku this is a normal thing.
This is a normal exchange between him
and his donkey. So what was Bum missing?
Bum was missing the faculty of call.
It's called being nispile. Bum was not
over anything. Why wasn't he spoiled
anything? Why didn't anything shock bum?
The answer is because in order to be
nispil you be have to be able to take
out a moment of time to take in what's
happening to recognize what's happening
to process it and realize this is
something out of the ordinary. Well, Bum
didn't do that. He lived what's called
he lived life on the fast track.
Everything from this to that to that to
that to that. If a person is always on
the go, always on the move, something
happening, something happening,
something happening, they can never
process the unusual. And therefore says
the reason why there are no orum in
paras is because what's the purpose of a
or what's the purpose of an opening in
the para? It's
to give space to be miss
to give time to contemplate between one
episode and the next. Well, Bum never
did that. This is something that Bum
never allowed himself to do. He would
never stop and think and process what's
going on. And therefore to symbolize
that there are no stum in paral but we
are going to offer tonight a brand new
answer really a revolutionary answer to
this uh question I have we have a
three-year-old son he comes over to me
daddy it's revolutionary I said I don't
know where he got that word from maybe
I'm overusing the word revolutionary but
um I don't know how he doesn't know a
lot of words but revolutionary he knows
okay in any And let's begin with the
garbas
a very important garra says
the the gumar is talking about the 24
books of and the garra wants to know who
wrote the books of right we know there
are 24 books now you have you have
and then you have the books of the
prophets you have the you haveim
You have eight books on and then you
have 11. You have the five mill
and then you have the ms and then you
have
and these are 24 books of and say if you
want to be at you need to know all of
them fine. So wants to know who wrote
them. Who wrote these books? So says the
garan
his bookshro.
Okay. Very nice. Mosha wrote these
books. So what's the problem? Mosha
wrote.
Mosha wrote his book. Mosha wrote
parasum. And Mosha wrote
so the obvious problem is what do you
mean mosha wrote his book and para's bum
parasum is part of
doesn't have to say
and
of cifroy and mitzvo
why would the garra specifically point
out cifroy and parasum why why remove
why extract parasum from the other five
books of the what's the garra getting at
so Rashi seems to be bothered by this
question and Rashi says what is the
meaning of
param says Rashi Mosha wrote
Mosha wrote his prophecy
meaning he wrote the Nva of Bum and the
parables of Bum
even though they are not needed by the
not needed by the
not needed for the stories of the Tyra.
In other words, Rashi is bothered by
this question. What does the Garra mean?
Parasum is part of the Tory. So, Rashi
is saying that no, Parasum is different
than the rest of the Tory. We don't need
to know Paras Bum to understand the rest
of the Torah. We don't need to know
parasum to understand the and the
stories of the rest of the Tory. In
other words, paras bum is different than
the rest of the Tory.
Question is and it's very interesting
the the main maramakum of tonight's shar
comes from an essay that's written by
Rabu Diskin in the back of his shila
such. So Diskin was one of the all-time
great
one of the all-time great uh Israel. He
lived from 1817 to 1893.
He was a Rav in Lamja in Kavna in Schlov
in Brisk later in Shallayim and he wrote
three volumes of Shauch in the back of
the second volume. So the Marel discin
it says he didn't want to leave the
space blank. So he wrote a on paras.
So the marel discin begins by asking on
rashi what does rashi mean that bum is
different than the rest of the tyra how
would how's bum different than the rest
of the tyra if a person is kifer in
param
then he's a kifer he's he's a kery
if somebody says I believe in the whole
except for parasum he's a kifer batyra
so what in the world what does rashi
mean that paras bum is different than
the rest of the Torah. Paras bum is
what is rash mean? How is parasum
different than the rest of the Torah?
What's Rashi getting at? It's any less.
It's not less than than the other parts
of the Torah. What is the Rashi that
Mosh wrote his and he wrote
and everyone have a sheet? Everyone
good? What?
>> Everyone got the sheet that they need,
you know.
But um what does Rashi mean? What does
Rashi mean that uh Bum is different than
the rest of the Tyra?
Well, Rabish and then quotes the Ritzvah
and the Ritzvah
offers a very interesting says
it would appear to be correct like the
ones who say
that this does not refer to that's
written in the
because
wrote like he wrote the rest of the
Tyra. So what in other words the says it
would not seem to be correct that the of
the garra of mob
does not refer to paras because of
course wrote that as he wrote
is a completely separate para
that wrote a separate book and what's
book about it's a longer version of the
story. You see in the Tory the paras
Balok is shorthand. It's very bikitzer.
You don't know exactly what how much
money Balak agreed to give to Bum. You
don't know exactly what Balok's um how
he tried to convince Bum to curse Cloud
Israel. You don't know how where Bum was
standing on the mountain. What was Bum's
method of kish that he used to try to
curse Cloud Israel. No information is
given. We don't know what um how Bum
spoke to his donkey. We don't know
really where Bum came from. We don't
know Bum's back though. It's missing all
the gory details. It's just the account
in the Tory is a very very basic
account. But Mosha Bainu wrote a book
and this book had I don't know a
thousand pages, 500 pages and this book
described in very minute detail every
single
prum.
So the question is so where's the book
you know it's not available it's not
it's out of print even my friend in
Virginia Gdal Schwarz even he can't get
it you know it's not available you can't
get the book in fact the quotes the
who's it is
and
was one of the early and there's a a
very big controversy about The safer
actually Mosha has a chuva just about
the safer. We'll have to discuss it
sometime but it's quoted by the and the
schlah and the also want to know what
does the garra mean?
What does it mean? Parasum is part of
the
says
about six lines down on number six.
You should know
the Tory writes the episode very
short-handed.
We don't know what kind of magic bum
use. You know what did Bum put in his
potion? You know what kind of rats did
he use to cut off the tail? You know
what kind of rat did he use? What was
his broom like? You know how big was the
broom? How fast did it fly? How many
horsepower did it have? How many
bristles? You know, we don't know
exactly how Bum operated. The whole
episode of Bum was flying in the sky
with the Malidon. How many kings were
there? How fast did they fly? How much
fuel did it take? You know, we don't
have all the details. Where could we get
one of those things?
Says
Mosha Rabenu wrote an entire book every
detail about Bam's potions and his his
witchcraft and his avoid the same way
the garra tells us that a mino had a des
and in the of a desim.
What do you mean? Yeah is much shorter.
So where is a des? It's not available
anymore. You know, it's not around. It's
out of print. You can't get it on. You
can't get it on Hebrew books. It's not
available. So, what do we see from
there? That Abraham of Enu wrote a book
and we have no idea where it is. So, by
the same token, Mosher Rabenu wrote a
book and we have no idea what happened
to it. We don't know where it is because
of the surice of all the generations.
You know, the book was lost. This is the
approach of the Ritzvah and the So
again, right now we have two approaches.
the other push of rashi that parasum is
not really as vital as the rest of the
toyra it's not really relevant to the
rest of the toyra that's what the garra
means of param then you have the
approach of the and the
moisha wrote a book but the book is out
of print and it's all about all the
detail I mean if you could get a hold of
this book if you you know there's
probably in some old dusty basement
somewhere you know if you got a hold of
the book of Moses us about the desum
you know for that that's he got
something going you know
>> say we lost
>> yes he says
look wrote that we still do have for
example
supposedly wrote it it's not a book of
it's not one of the so that means they
wrote books but they were never
canonized so wrote a book it was never
canonized and we lost it. We lost it. By
the way, Rabishual Mikna, now Rabbi
Mikna was nifter in 1853.
My great greatgrandfather was a Talmed
in Poland of Rabisha Mikuna. In fact, he
helped publish the safer malai
and Mika says based on this we could
answer a Ramb the Rambam says amazing
thing. The Ram says there are two kinds
of a car. You have someone who is
the of
and you have someone who's a
there are two categories of aarsis.
Someone who's a
and someone who's the
so it's the exact same thing. What's the
difference between a kyifery and someone
who's mish in the vu ofenu? What's the
difference between being a kifer in the
denying my prophecy? So he says, well
maybe you'll say what the rama means is
a kifery we know. But what about before
the was given in the midbar? Let's say
you denied before the was given like kak
or before the was written. So then maybe
you're not an ara. So the Ram has to add
not only is a Torah anus
the moenu even without a
but
the Ram is not telling me for the midbar
over here if the Ram's codifying that
there are two categories of
it must be a separate category and
therefore says the ishu maly it must be
what the rama means is that one category
of a is someone who's k from and another
category of aars is someone who denies
the of in things that were never part of
the what was never part of the let's say
someone deny that great big book about
the story of bum that and never became
part of the tyra if someone denies that
they're also an epic
that's what the ram means when the ram
refers as a separate category to mish
that's a separate category than
however comes
and
rejects this says you can't say what the
garra means when it says that
excuse me
is that it refers to a completely
different book that never became part of
the because if you know the sugra
The sugass is talking about the it's
talking about the 24 books of Tanakh.
Why would the Gamarra all of a sudden
bring in a book that was never
mentioned? If you look in the suggesting
the 24 books of Tanakh, the five books
of the Kish, the books of the Naveim,
the books of the Why would the Gumarra
suddenly bring in why would the Gumarra
suddenly bring in the uh idea that Mosha
wrote a completely different book? Why
would the Gumar even entertain that? Why
would the Gumar discuss? We're not
discussing the books of Mosha. We're
discussing the books of Tanakh. Why
would the Gumar bring in the uh paras?
Okay, before I share the answer with
you, I'm just going to tell you just a
side uh
just a brief commercial break. Um it
might tie in. So I'll say like this. Bum
says
bum says I cannot violate the word of
hashem not a small thing and not a big
thing.
So uh the question is think carefully
what bam saying he's saying I can't
violate hashem in a small way and I
can't even violate him in a big way.
What do you mean I can't even violate
him in a big way? If you can't violate a
a small thing, you for sure can violate
a big thing. It goes without saying. The
sequence of logic doesn't make sense.
What's saying? I can't violate a small
thing and a big thing. Of course, no
kidding. If you can't violate a small
thing, you definitely cannot violate a
big thing. Says the go. Bum says as
follows,
Hashem
So says the guy you have to know a few
number one we know that
which is 86 is
however the beginning of kale is
like it says inim
of kale is all day Another hakama
is
but is
another thing you have to know there's a
medish the medish says
God put something in bum's mouth so it's
one man says he put in a fish hook a and
one man says no he put words in the
mouth of bum. So which one did he do? to
God close Bum's mouth or open Bum's
mouth says the go as follows Bum's plan
is to try to get the midas to be evoked
on he's trying to be
so the first thing Bum wants to do is he
wants to curse us with elimas
so what does do he has to put a fish
hook in Bum's mouth so instead of bum
saying elim says kaleim is kale
So first puts a fish hook in Bum's mouth
and he shuts his mouth. So Bum says
then Bum says okay if God wants me to be
brief so I'll try to use C. No
he wanted to say and Hashem put another
two letters in his mouth. So sometimes
closed bum's mouth other times he put
words in his mouth. By the way, we once
gave a whole shear
that if bum if somebody writes
and then he changes his mind and he
wants to write and
so does that have kadusha because he
wrote the first two letters
to write theem that's a separate topic
okay
and he says in order to answer this
question
um we need to address a few other
things. I'll tell us
there never arose a prophet like
right you with me everyone's good today
everyone's happy good mood yeah
>> yeah okay so um say there never arose
among the Jewish people avi like
and so we're mad like there never arose
in other words among there never arose a
like but among the it did arise Who is
that? Bam. In other words, there's a
concept that Bum was on the same level
of
Moshenu.
So, first of all, how in the world is
that possible? Bum is a complete
degenerate. Bum is immoral. He's
decadent. He's corrupt. He's disgusting.
Bum was married to his donkey. He lived
with his donkey.
I mean, even the editors of New York
Times wouldn't do that, right? I mean
>> he he was lower than the lowest. There
was nobody there was nobody as
degenerate as Bam
and he was on the level of NAV Rabenu.
How's that possible? How could somebody
who is so mu of and so such a mushkas
reach the madrega of
how's that poss? So I know what Rashi
says. He says, "Hashem had to give the
umam uh an excuse. Hashem had to give
the umam
an equal leader like but still you can't
just reach a level of prophecy if you're
a Russia. So how did mosheno do it?
>> How did bum do?" Thank you. I'm sure
you've all heard a concept. The concept
is called aspaklar
that there is a concept that moenu's nva
was different than any of the other that
was on the level of
a clear prism and the other
were aspakario
an unclear prism what's the meaning of
that by the way the vagin
I believe in perak alf p alf of safer
The says
the other
even within aspar
the
clear of the unclear and the were
the unclear of the unclear. So what does
that mean unclear? They didn't have
clear nua. Was it misdirected,
misguided?
How could you say the other naveim's nua
was unclear? Was it lacking in MS? Was
it lacking in truth? So, Rabishu Leiskin
really opens up the shamayim, opens up
the heavens for us and he uh
revolutionizes
and explains
in very clear terms how nva worked and
what the precise difference between the
prophecy of and the other nim.
And basically
we have to understand comes down from
the
from the
bria.
So it trickles down down down down down
from the from the highest spiritual
worlds and it materializes and it
it crystallizes and concretizes in a
physical form. in this world.
Do you think that when Anavi received
Nva, Hashem said, "Hey, what's going on?
It's a long time they'll speak. I want
you to go to Bavl and tell them they are
finished." No, Hashem did not say words
to Naveim.
No, Hashem did not say words to Naveim.
The only Na'vi Well, we'll get to that.
So, what did Hashem do? Hashem showed an
avi an image.
Yaku Aenu sees a ladder. What does a
ladder mean?
I don't know if I would see a ladder. I
could think of many things. Uh I need to
fix the roof. I need to build another
floor. I need to climb up and I mean you
can think of a million possibilities.
What a ladder. So how did Jacob know
that the ladder with Malim going up and
down meant that they're going to be four
galo and are going to go into a country?
How did Yakov know that? That's part two
of NAVA. Part two of Nava is the Nvi has
an intuition. What the prophecy means?
How does the Nvi have this intuition?
That's the process of prophecy. Through
the spiritual capacity of the Nvi, he
has an intuition. What the prophecy
means? How does he see it? The answer is
it's projected on a screen.
What's the screen? The screen is the
nama of the na'vi and the na'vi sees an
image in his mind and he has an
intuition of the meaning of it. That
intuition is projected on the screen of
his soul but says it depends how pure
the soul is.
If the soul is
ever so tainted which almost every soul
is after all even we're bas
I I don't want to use the word tainted
but colored
colored by the personality of the ni. So
for instance, if you were watching Torah
anytime
and the screen was slightly green,
are you not going to see it? You're
going to see it precisely without any
alteration, without any changes. But
there'll be a U. Could be a green U. It
could be a blue U. It could be a yellow
U. But if the screen is colored, then
whatever is seen will be colored by the
color of the screen. Therefore say
no two prophets will ever see the same
prophecy in the same niggan with the
same image. Why? Because since every Nvi
is a different personality's
nva was filtered through his
personality. Yermia's nuv was filtered
through his personality. Nva was
filtered through his personality. Now
what do you mean? Did they change it?
Did they alter it? Did they modify it?
Not in the least bit. It was clear. It
was absolute truth in terms of MS. It
was completely true. But
it wasn't directly from God in the sense
there was that ever so slight
between the Hashem the way it came from
the ream's mouth and the way it received
by us. So you say does that make it not
kadesh? No, it's absolutely kadesh, but
it's not a billion% on the majga of the
darashem of Tory. So why is Tory
different? Listen carefully. Because
Mosenu was so humble. Moshabenu had so
no ego. He had no
self that his was so crystal clear that
the intuition of the meaning of the
image of Hashem was exactly what meant.
Not only was not changed, it was not
colored. There was no U. There was no
whatsoever. In other words, when Moshe
gives us the Tory, that is the as it
emanated from the word from the math of
it's
said words to Misha.
>> In fact, there's only one that it says
lear
doesn't say.
You know why?
Never said words to any na'vi. No words
were said. Hey, go here. Do that. No,
they saw an image. They knew what it
meant. The writes, I believe in the most
oft repeated.
What's the meaning of it? The meaning is
whatever Moshe is telling us is exactly
what Hashem told. No coloring, no U, no
modification.
It was not filtered through a
personality.
That's the difference between the nuv of
and the of all the other. The reason you
can't put a safer of ni on top of a kish
is because the safer of nvi is ever so
colored by the personality of the ni and
it's kadesh. It is is kadesh beyond our
imagination but it's not tora. Tyra is
the dvarashem in its pure form.
So what does this have to do with
parasal?
It has everything to do with paras. Says
let's ask another question.
Hashem came to bum and he said don't
curse the people. And bam had no
problem. He was still going to go to
curse the people. What's he thinking?
Hashem told him don't go. What did bum
think? Why did Bum think he would be
successful in cursing?
Says
that Bum was so smart. He knew that
because he was so degenerate and so
immoral and so corrupt
that any image that the would show him,
his soul was so slimy and grimy and
creepy, he would be able to distort
the image. And if theam came to Bum with
a picture of a cohenal blessing a nation
on Bum's soul would be an image of
disgusting clice that he was going to be
hurling at Kali Israel. Why? Because the
screen was so tainted and so filthy and
so dirty that Bum said, "It doesn't
matter what God shows me. God could show
me the most the most beautiful flowers
surrounding the Jewish people, but when
those flowers are projected on my screen
and my nama, it will look like I am
supposed to hurl the most debased insult
on the Jewish people.
And that was Bum's plan.
So what does Hashem say? Hashem says,
"Billam, this ain't going to work. I
cannot give you prophecy the way I give
you prophecy where I show you an image
and then you're going to get this
intuition and it will be reflected on
your soul. You know why? Because I can't
trust you. So the only is I have to give
you not an image with an and you're
going to use your intuition. I have to
give you black and white words and
clearcut instruction without any image
and interpretation. You are now going to
receive exactly what Misha receives.
Misha receives an image and the
interpretation was just so absolute
because his nashem was crystal clear.
You because you're so dirty and filthy.
I can't rely on you. I can't trust you.
I will just give you clear black and
white instructions.
The way this is how this explains it
it's quoted in many in the
inra
also in the
says like this Hashem was able to rely
on
to carry out his mission faithfully with
in other words will tell Moshe and Moshe
will relay exactly what Hashem said But
Hashem couldn't trust Bum with it. So
what Hashem did was he said, "Billum,
here's the note. Here are the words. Say
it."
Gives them. You have two kings that they
had to exchange
um high um classified top secret
information.
So one king, he sends his most
trustworthy messenger and he tells the
he tells the messenger, "Tell the king
The other king says, "I don't know who I
could trust, who I can't trust." So what
does he do? He writes down on a piece of
paper exactly what needs to get there.
He ties it up and he could give it to
anybody. You don't now he doesn't have
to trust anybody with it because it's
not open to interpretation. So because
Bum was so unworthy and so filthy and so
degenerate, the could not trust
with any type of interpretation the way
he would trust the he could not allow
Bum to use his
disc is. If you look at the end of
number 12,
Okay, you ready for this?
Listen very carefully.
Abrau was a great na'vi but his nua was
it on the level of
noyak
he was a na'vi. What was it on the level
of no
listen carefully? How could paras be in
the
how is
it should be like
because whatever
didn't see with his soul is a lower
level prophecy. So how could the par of
paras that occurred before came to the
scene why is it part of tyra by the way?
Could you put a boracious Could you put
a Nvi on top of safer barious? NO. WHY?
WHY is borious Tyra? You know why?
Because paras is not in the because of
Abrahamu.
If it were just been Abrahamu, we'd be
laning paras as a halfra.
The only reason
that is part of the Tory is because when
Moshenu stood on our Hashem told Moshe
what happened to Abrahamu
and Moshe understood what happened more
to Abrau much more than Abrau understood
what happened to Abrau because Abrau
just saw it but he didn't know
of the story
when Hashem repeated toenu the story of
then it became Tyra.
So listen carefully. When Moshe wrote
was he just being a scribe?
No, he was doing much more than that. He
needed to receive a prophecy of paras to
make it Tyra.
The reason why paras why is parasyra?
Because hashem repeated it to
that's what made it tyra. and parsem to
and whatever hashem repeated to
then was elevated to the status of says
but says
there's only one of
that we didn't need
to make a tyra we didn't need his to
make a tyra
param
Paras Bum was even without Mosher
Rabenu.
Why? Because Parasum was the word of
Hashem.
Who's
bums?
So incredible thing. What made Parasra
Mosha? What made?
What made?
What made? What made?
What made parasyra
bum?
What gives parasum kadusha? Bum.
Wow. Bum gives it. In fact,
asks
we we basically mentioned this talks
about the concept
that there were many who are for
example alifas and safer.
So how could that be part of the Nvim
Malifas may have been a Russia? How
could Bam who was such a degenerate be a
ni? The answer is he received a
different type of nva. What the did was
he gave them bum alifas precise
vision and wording. So it was not open
to interpretation. So in a way
paras bill bum might has a different
type of kaduca
if you could say if there could be such
a concept
it didn't even go through mohabenuhenu
was aspaklar but he was still in
aspaklaria
para's bum is the straight raw
wording of hashem it's like without any
filter without any Queen it's this is
raw.
So what did then all says
all Misha did to param
is he wrote down the words but we didn't
need him to be there to make it
even without Moshe. So it's a good
trivia. What part of the Tyra is Tyra
without Moshe? Paresum
just comes to mind.
Truth is um I once said this here many
years ago
anytime
and R Miller used to say that if you
look throughout the Tory
there are no compliments on the Jewish
people.
In fact, we're lambasted practically in
the whole,
you know,
the whole we're being criticized. We're
being criticized. The only nice things
that are written about the Jewish people
are bum.
We get up early in the morning. We jump
up for shakist. We put on talent fill.
We go to sleep at night. We're at suim.
We bum cannot stop hur um hurling
praises on the Jewish people.
What's the shot? This is the only place
we need bum to say nice things about us.
So one one shot is if mosher would have
said nice things about us, we wouldn't
have believed him. Of course, he has
nice things to say. But uh if if our
enemy says nice things, then we know
they're true.
But if you could say such a thing that
there's only one part of Tyra which is
the raw dev hashem without any
intermediary even you know there's a
concept Mosha was the sarsur he was the
middleman between us and god but the
truth is he was only the middleman for
the rest of the he wasn't the middleman
for paras bum paras bum is just bum
basically falls on his face
and bunch just sends him the
in a way the parabum is if you really
want to know what God thinks about us
don't look at the rest there's a there's
a there's yes it's yes it's clear but
you don't really know what thinks yeah
he says
but what's really in the mind of Hashem
that you need you need to look at the
Torah without
par says but look you know what God
really thinks about us.
You know, it's like um it's an
incredible idea. In any event,
>> what? Misha or Bam?
>> That's what I'm trying to say.
>> In a way,
>> what?
>> No. What?
Why normally had to be done through
>> Misha?
>> Why does mean why didn't just give Mosha
direct words?
>> I hear
>> you know myster
exactly. I don't know exactly why the
chooses this method but we're just
pointing out that in a way paras is the
raw more than anything else
in the safer in his commentary to
the hl it's not on the sheet by the way
this is the approach of marel discin and
as I said brrisker also says very very
similarly
uh I just found today raak of kamki also
says has kamat the same idea in very
briefly in parishes mis and also in the
imra
next year we're going to say over from
the vago I found an incredible thing
today that the vagin says in his
commentary to tune but he says
in everything we're saying a completely
different I never heard this before
maybe next year we'll do it
says in
that in order to understand you need to
know what the Marel disc says. And
therefore inzan
word for word for word and he concludes
as follows.
You cannot add one word to these two
words
except for the following says based on
this idea.
We could understand the
because everybody asks you know oh pass
the
what's the big uh
if God comes to a person and says to a
person
to do something so who's not going to do
it? What was the big sign for Abraham?
God came to Abraham. Um,
so what's the God Almighty knocked on
Abraham's door? He said, "Do me a
favor." She your son. So what's Abraham
going to do? Nah, I'm not in the mood. N
not now. I'll do other things you say
but not what's the big
>> right very good. So is pointing out that
that's if you really think that said the
words to Abraham
but Hashem never said that to Abraham.
All Abraham got was some kind of image
of maybe him
and he had to have an intuition of what
that meant.
says of Sha that's a tremendous nion
because if in his nama he had even the
slightest nia and bias of extra love for
his son to be misgab over abbas hashem
there is no way in a million years he
would have interpreted that prophecy
honestly the only possible way and
really this explains how great the was
because what human being would be would
allow themselves
to honestly interpret the yeah the
really wants me to after all Abraham
said to himself I don't understand
because there's a concept you know Adler
writes in a that by the it says that
Raven had to lift up his hand well why
do you have to lift up his handler
writes that Abra was so in tune to theem
that he knew what god wanted from his
own actions
that when he saw he ran to the he knew
the wants him to greet the but when it
came to the
reason he had to lift up his hand is
because his body didn't want to do it
because that really wasn't the of Abrau
could not understand here his whole life
he's preaching you can't have human
sacrifice you can't have human sacrifice
it's against everything Abraham believed
in and now all of a sudden
is telling me a sacrifice my own son if
had the slightest he never would have
interpreted the prophecy accurately.
It's only because his nish was
that he was able to be misgab over his
personal desires and and be in tune with
the real intuition.
So says this gives you tremendous
insight into the
that never was told explicitly
The Torah is writing the words of the
intuition of Abraham.
That's a big I think most of us would
have thought that was told
no only when it says
did he get words.
Let me just throw out one more thing
here
points out invas
and the rest of the Tyra. A very
interesting difference. He says the rest
of the Tyra
600,000 people saw every single event
report in the Tyra. 600,000 people left
Matim. They saw all the Makos. They saw
Kabosra. They saw the episode of Kak.
They saw the paradum. They saw every
episode in the Ksh.
That's not what makes it Tyra. What
makes a Tory is the fact that Mosha saw
it and he was told to record it.
Even the stories of various
Noyak was our great great-grandfather.
So he passed down to Abraham who passed
down to Yakov.
By the way, it's even more than that.
Shame saw Adam.
So Adam told Shame, "Look, I didn't have
a father and mother. God created me in
Ghana and I sinned with theas and there
was a snake and he threw me out and I
had I had two sons K and he so shame
heard directly from the mouth of other
Marishon." All the stories of Bacius. Um
Yakov was 50 years old when Shame died.
So Jacob heard from Shame and Yakov told
Ley who told Amos. So Mosa was maybe
four or five.
Every single episode in the either
600,000 people saw or 600,000 people
have a direct tradition of
there's only one exception pious bum.
How in the world do we know that Balok
went to hire Bum?
How do we know that Bum was riding on a
donkey and he saddled his own donkey?
How do we know that Bum was standing on
the top of the mountain and Bulock
brought 42 carbonas on top? How do we
know what went on on top of the
mountain? We have no tradition
and we have no witnesses and nobody told
us.
Bacious Adam at least came back and
said, "Look, I I I I came into this
garden one day with no no papa, no mama
and I spoke to God." Adam spoke to God.
So he told Shame, "Look, I spoke to God.
I asked God, where did I come from?" God
said, "I made you. You're capum.
We have no evidence to paras in a way is
what we have to rely on most of the
rest of yes it's only because of but we
also happen to have 600,000 men between
20 and 60 who could authenticate it the
only of that's utterly dependent on bum
so there's par has a great dichotomy
on the one hand made Tyra on the other
hand it's the only of Tyra you have to
come on to even know about it
so I really should have told you earlier
most of this year I heard a long long
time ago from a great rabbi in England
Rabbi Isaac Bernstein
he didn't say over from where
but the central idea
I heard him say and I'm explaining the
way he explained it he explained it very
uh creatively
and then he added
it's an amazing thing do you know why
there are no pays and no in param
what's the point of a pay that when
hashem is teaching to mo in order for mo
to make itra he needed a paych
Look at number 15.
What were the point of the P on the
to give an opportunity to contemplate
because when Moshe is making Tyra, how
does Moshe make Tyra? who God gives him
the image and then his intuition is
headon
but he give him a chance he's not a
machine he needs time to digest para
that's mosha is making
param isra withoutenu
what in the world do you need pes for
this is bum ty bum you don't need
anybody this is the raw dvar with no
intermediary whatsoever. It's God coming
down to
and you know
it's like Hashem said forget I have a
much lower place to give the Tyra
you know
so we need to pay for this is not
this is
ah
says
who wrote the
Misha wrote his
no kidding the point is like this you
know what else he wrote para's bum why
are we might say param what's different
about parasum the answer is that for
para's bum where it's without moa it's
not toyra because of mosha's
It's Tyra because of Bum's. So all Misha
did was he wrote it. The rest of the
Tyra it's Tyra because it's Misha's
parasum. It's Tyra Bum. So what did
Masha do? All Mabenu did say was he was
a mic. He copied it over. He was the
scribe. And but we didn't need Mosha to
make it Tyra. It was Tyra even without
Moshenu.
Thank you everyone for coming. Have a
great evening.
