I was looking for someone to get up and
speak tonight
so first the approach the wisest of all
the man and he asked the wisest of all
the man to get up and speak but the
wisest of all man said no then he came
up to the funniest of all the guys and
he asked the funniest of all the guys to
speak he declined as well
afterwards he came up to the humblest of
all the guys and he has the huh most of
all men to speak but the humblest of all
man felt he is not worthy
he didn't speak as well finally came to
me and he asked me to speak so I said
since you asked me so nicely four times
in a row I guess the right thing for me
to do can anybody here tell me what does
it mean to be humble how would you
describe a humble person a person has a
humble nature if you want to hit but if
you want to hit bull's eye for the
answer the answer a person who is humble
understands that all his abilities and
capabilities all his talents are only
from a shaman that whatever he has is
not as a result of necessarily his hard
work but only because God granted it to
him as a gift but now can anyone tell me
what is the person whose Gotha person
who is arrogant a person was conceded
with himself was self-absorbed
what would you say will describe a
person who is gava the answer is exact
opposite someone who takes all the
credit for himself he thinks that
everything that he has and everything
that he owns is all to his greatness and
so on and it takes the honor and instead
of giving it to God he takes it for
himself that's the difference between a
person was arrogant and personal humble
I think that if there's a lesson to be
taken out from the Pacific game that
related with depth within our Perisher
and allows him to be taken out within
the month that we are in and the holiday
they were approaching Passover itself I
think it's a lesson of humility and
we'll soon see why the pursuit in its
introductory statement in a Porsche for
chef Mike Ross says why can i almo share
and God called Michelle white the best
MLM was no more the more is called the
front attentive in terms of meeting
saying
Banaras speak to the Jewish people they
are Martin ahem and seldom add
empirically McCain Cabana Hashem if a
person wants to bring a sacrifice to God
may not be him Amina Bacaro minutes all
secret cabinet ham he should bring it
from an animal a cattle from the flock
he should bring a sacrifice that before
I could get to the depth for the
essential meaning behind this but soup I
want to start off with just the first
few words the pursuit says lycra Elmo
sure and God called Masha you take a
look and you open up your cool machine
you find that within the word Vicryl the
letter Aleph is small and you sit there
asking yourself why is that also small
so the bottom tells us that this is
coming to indicated to imply monstrous
humility from here we learn Masha was a
humble person how do we see that
Michelle was humble because the Aleph is
small so I'll tell you the story of the
others we know that God dictated to
Masha Masha rolled word for word
sentence by sentence letter for letter
when it came to this words my grandma
said the word like Ramiz and he called
but it's referred to somebody who's VIP
when I'm talking to somebody who's
important of high-status somebody who
has a name or a figure refers to them
very crap but if I'm talking to somebody
who doesn't have a name I'm talking to
him because I just happened to be
talking to them it's a temporary
conversation I ran into them then you
say wake are the same exact word but
without the Aleph in the end monster
says god you're telling me it's right if
I cry Moshe as if you're calling me
referring to me as someone is so great I
don't want to write it I'll rather read
my card I'm not so it's playing down as
a relationship with God and so God says
to Michelle for sure last time I checked
you listen to me I want you to write
wake run I wake up so much sugar writes
my car and and he writes the olive but
he makes the other small so from a
distance you look at the Pacific you
look at the olive and you say oh you
think that it's not there because you
don't really see it it's too small from
a moment you think that emotions not so
special after all God is referring to
him as if he's a nothing great but then
when you take a closer look you see the
aleph you see oh my Grob my cry means he
is great and from here we see that Moshe
is humble he was playing down his
relationship with God he
wanna make it look like he has the in
but why is it that the Torah all of a
sudden give us a lesson on humility
I mean tell us about Moses humility if I
shudder multiple injured when were
introduced to Moshe Marshall Omega is
talking about animals loitering animal
sacrifices cabinet what does this come
in what's just humility this moment of
small olives so I still want an
explanation and I'll have to give you a
few introductions of climate ow
he says that there's different methods
to fight the etc the evil inclination he
says that the a Tahara is an angel just
like we have the angel Mikael Gabrielle
Oriel there's also an angel is the sat
on his his name is Sam L Sam it ma'am
and then alif laam it has a suffix and
that's his essence that's his name and
he says that the secret to weakening and
overpowering via Hara is a lava to
humility how do we see this the word a
neva is spelled I know what hey ina
seventeen known as 50 100 and 120 love
this six is 126 and he is five at 126
was five equals 131 and therefore we see
from the word a neva pneumatically 131
what else has a numeric value of only 31
not ordered in a sentence named Samak
ma'am Alif LAAM it's a nickname is 60
and 40 that's 100 Aleph is one that's
101 Lyman story at 231 and therefore he
says that the kryptonite or the
neutralizer to the tsaatan is humility
when a person is able to Humble himself
is able to defeat the etc there is a
purse arms written by King David
now we see that this is the way to
defeat this account the secret to the
absence of this attack I went to defeat
him the neutralizer is humility there's
a chapter written by King David he said
surely - am la havana be just God I was
never proud of my heart the Lord I'm
Wayne I never raised my hands Romania I
never walked with arrogance and he says
although I was the king of Israel and I
have the feet of so many countries and I
was so victorious I never let her get to
my head and he dedicates the whole
taking in this whole chapter to him -
humility guess which chapter he chose to
write about humility 131 chapter 131 you
think it's a coincidence that he chose
131 cool flammond olives out of all the
chapter is there fortify Mattel says
there will be no better chapter or no no
better more better or appropriate
chapter to talk about humiliate in
Chapter 131 but how is it that humility
is able to defeat the era how can we
defeat in Ajala with humility so the
holy books write and they tell us let's
go down the Gemara that when you fight
there Sahara when you get into the ring
in the arena with the yetze hara with a
male clinician you need you need a
divine assistance without divine
assistance it's impossible to fight we
need a power larger than us to intervene
to help alone it's impossible and but
there's only one problem if you go into
the arena with the Satan God says I
cannot be in the same room in the
proximity of a person was arrogant so
God says if you're taking the title belt
and you're putting it on yourself when
you say oh it's me tell me I'm the best
so guy says oh if you if you're so great
and you don't need me and once God
leaves us we're in the left alone in the
arena with the sitar and that's when we
fall flat on our face but if we have God
on our side once we have an Allah God is
able to help us and that's when we could
defeat the temptations but there's our
eyes to offer us I saw once
there was a that was the story of a man
who was traveling from town to town and
he was coming across a certain town he
was coming close to a Shabbat and he
started stopped by one of the
synagogue's came into the synagogue he
asked the President to help him find a
place the president says it's very close
to Shabbat we'll have to make a pizza
but I have two people for you one person
he is very I can't I'm not saying he's
very arrogant however his house is
kosher
he's food is top-notch glad culture
Mahalo Mehadrin
everything is checked bug-free best
filters but he thinks too much of
himself he's very Hardy he's boastful he
talks too much
he says okay what's my other option
other option is another guy he's uh he's
I don't know if you stay for the office
he has a library and smartears I don't
know how much he knows about cash truth
however he's uh he's very humble now if
you guys were given this option where
would you stay by the guy who has not so
cost your food by example or the guy who
has great perfect food but it's not so
humble
the humble guy although this was not so
kosher you sure the answer is the guy
I'll bring my coaches you don't have
time to bring coffee food but you know
the answer is the answer is the guy who
has the natural kosher food but is
humble because the rabbi said if God
can't be in the same room as a person
who's arrogant of all my to be in the
same room as a person was arrogant how
can I be in the same room as this person
if God can be I saw a fantastic dark a
more share of Moshe is too much he
writes in his commentaries on the bet
yourself as well on drama and a shoot on
a trophy courts in the euro day at Simon
la Motte hey olive
he calls in the safer Cassady I'm
certain there was a certain fellow who
was able to talk if what animal is
kosher even prior to slaughtering it
meaning sometimes you could have an
animal it could be a hundred percent you
could slaughtered 100% kosher and after
you flattered you find out that there
was problems within the lungs it was
inflated that the something was
something was poisoned or was sick and
if I not the animal was a coaster from
the start but you can only find that out
after you make the schita
well the fellow was able to tell the
animals culture even prior to Chiquita
so they asked them what's your secret
what's the key
what how do you know
was culture even before you solder it he
says I don't want to reveal it because
I'm afraid of people might misuse it and
I might take this information and they
might take advantage of it or they might
rely on it too much so not to fall into
any problems you didn't want to give it
away fine
I want to tell you the secret how he
knew how the animals kosher and I know
the speaker because there are more
reveals to us the Rama says the way he
knew at the animals kosher he put his
hand over the animal's head if the
animal put his head down that means it's
a kosher animal if the animal kept his
head up then that means it's not a
kosher animal that's how he knew and
with this they explained we know when a
sloth was pursuing a course for selfish
love the pursuit says oh my gosh Benny
Bobby I don't even have a car he took
the animals he of course took the
animals that were in his head and it
send it to yourself and it says he sent
ten of those and of these he wanted to
appease a saw he was sending him all
these animals the rabbis mishima
bothered how can you send all these
animals to yourself what's the problem
sitting on these animals they stopped
because animals have spots of wholeness
in social condition by giving a choice
ah he's not gonna elevate these holiness
he's going to destroy them and therefore
how can you give these animals I can you
allow yourself to give these animals
over to myself so the explanation is
within the pursuit the first book says
he send them the animals mean about the
earth or the animals that were in his
hands which means you have called knew
the secret he said the animals are
remained in my hands and the animals
that kept their hands up but the animals
that put their hands now their hands
down those are the animals that didn't
keep their heads up those are the
animals that kept their hands down those
animals that I could say that I have to
state that stay with me on the other
hand that animals that he says that
stayed in his hands those are the ends
we gave over choice I mean there's all
animals in that culture that's how we
knew you know the amount of sense that
back in the times of the atomic - it
says that if you go to a restaurant and
you want to buy steak it's not that I
want to eat this certain type of steak
they will tell you and you tell them
what's the cut over here what is your
haha they will tell you what our cash
cow what our cashews what's your cut
rude do you know any mrs. crody no and
Gamera you know what you learned or a
ignoramus and if he doesn't know how to
answer them they say you go with pizza
you go with cheese you do you go deal
with fishing and strings and skills
why so the simple explanation is because
we're afraid we're gonna give him eat
his neck another salt to properly is not
gonna want to slaughter properly into a
lot of problems we don't want to run
into this problem say you you say a
vegetarian but I saw another explanation
driven by the kuzuri he says that
classify demons brought down within the
ground there are sparks of holiness the
ground comes out it plant a plant the
plant has its own sparks of holiness and
it takes nutrients from the ground those
parts of holies are now within the plant
now this has two levels of spatulas
comes the animal who has its own social
coup de shell and heats the plant who
just got his parts of parts of holiness
from the plant from the ground and now
he has three levels of spikes of
holiness in other words the animal comes
it eats from the from the plant the
plant just got his punch on us from the
ground and now that's the ground
controls the plants parts in holiness
and then comes the analyzes on spikes
loneliness comes the person he
slaughters the animal and he eats the
animal that's three that's four levels
of spikes of holiness that's one level
in social condition that means the
ground has parts of wholeness it gave
them over to the plant which has two
levels which his own and the ground
comes the animal he has its own close
the plant supposed to grab that comes to
human being has its own plus the animals
plants cause the ground and he says when
a person that Sadiq is a righteous
person he eats all this whole expanse of
holiness and he eats them he's able to
elevate them but why is that gonna
elevate him he's gonna destroy them so
the problem here is we don't want to
give the animal the meat there's a
fellow he's not gonna be able to use it
properly and this by the way debug all
these animal rights activists to come
along and say how can you come along and
eat all these animals you know what if
the animals will come along as part of
human beings and all these distorted
rationales and we say to these animal
right activists how are you so cruel to
the animal you want to animal to stay an
animal we want to eat that or we want to
take that voice within it and we want to
elevate it
we want to take it with us we want to
make it into a human being you want to
Apple to stay an animal they asked of
you would a seed is there a way to use
this trick today if I put my hand over
the animal can I tell if the animal is
kosher or not by putting my hand over it
he said no he said today when I on the
level try put my hand over the animal's
head could be that animal the only one
that knows if it's if it's a kosher is
animal himself but he doesn't want to
tell the person if it's culture because
you might be not on the level he's
afraid that it's not gonna elevate him
properly and so he's not gonna reveal
the secret to you only a perfect that he
could be able to tell
therefore today we're not on the level
oh so now we go back to pursue my crime
oh sure
and God spoke to Michelle he caught most
of my development so money anymore now
buried beneath all their Martella time a
dumpy a creamy chemical bond a sham we
said if a person was to bring a
sacrifice to God now we're gonna bring a
twist to this palooka see there's 70
ways to murder - Radha - run so deep you
learn in so many different ways now
we're gonna learn a little bit
differently if a person wants to come
close to a share if a person Adamic a
Mac Kia Cleve became car banished a
person was to come close - I mean a
behemoth from the animal he would come
close to Hashem by learning from the
animal that a kosher animal puts his
head down and a not kosher animal keep
the setup that a kosher person puts his
head down he's humble and a cultured
person keep his head up
and this is why the pursuers were
teaching us about humility from the
start because the Hopis shot is laden
with depth about humility it's all about
humility you know my dad tells us a
story of power to be the fellow who came
to court he came through Ralph and he
came to court with a cow and it's old I
have a cow over here is the cow culture
the fellow said the rabbi said laughs
said that the Catholics culture to me
you could eat it fine
they might the guy's about to leave the
course war comes in on a rabbi
Tomas is waiting when the campuses of
the Roth the rabbi said I could eat it
he's robbed he said he could eat this
cow he said yeah I says what if the cow
is poisoned how do you know exactly
itself it's poison he said maybe he was
bitten by a snake and maybe it's
poisonous so so how can we test it out
it says by burning the Flies by the way
part you could tell if it was poisoned
so Ron says okay let's do it
they burned the cow they find out that
by the way was burning it was poisoned
so now what would be the response or any
normal response from small to rough
flowers from well I would say I told you
so
see I know everything but instead of
taking the honor and the kavod the grain
and gearing it towards himself and
taking the glory for himself it takes it
and he gives the credit to rob it says
Rob it's in your food and your merit
that God didn't want you to fall upon a
stumbling stumbling block that he sent
me your away so I controlled my two
cents and I could someone save the day
because God didn't wanna make any
mistakes in your rulings and so somehow
was able to come in and make sure that
this person it's a proper animal and
that animal that was poison so instead
of taking the trial for himself it takes
it against Rob but that's
presses us and presents not what he said
but how fast he said it but listen to
how Rob response to some oil he says
from rally especially for time you're so
smart you know all the intricate laws
you know the depth all the secrets 100
million people want to know and you know
and then my dad says they were sitting
there going back and forth throwing the
camel at each other and compare that to
bill on the ballot
we know that the luck wanted to curse
the Jewish people and he wanted to
destroy his complete annihilate us and
he went on top of a mountain of Balaam
and Balaam instructed him to build seven
altars and black did and finally belong
those to God he says well I came a long
way Balaam says to God at savate I'm his
before and after he says I have built
for you seven altars I mean I have built
for you or black book for you in other
words he's taking the credit that
doesn't belong to him that's a big a
righteous person takes the credit he
runs away from it well I'm sure he gives
it over I want so a mission I'd be
careful a person who once after a hunger
the honor was away from him a person who
runs away from honor their honor was
after him so when does honor meet up
either you're running away from it or
you're running after it
what does the person on under meet up
you know the answer is the answer is
that's 120 if it was always running
after honor after 120 is gonna die is
there's nowhere else to run there's
gonna be far gone but if a person his
whole life was running away from out
there after 120 there's nowhere to run
the onions it'll come up with you to
heaven because what the priest was very
known to be overly humble very no I find
the story to be pretty funny it was very
known to be humble Robby heard about him
he once see for himself he comes to the
priests house with an accent daughter
please open the door
he's rabbi be I Who am I what I mind for
you to come and visit me he says rabbi
I'm nothing I'm piece of dirt but I said
yeah I know you're nothing but I came to
you anyways he says he says well he's a
Lemmy and he walks in and he sits down
with the priest and the priest is not
gonna help you says I want to ask you
questions what do I know I know nothing
about nobody he said yeah I know you're
nobody but I want to ask you anyways he
says what's your question who says are
you did you ever study the first
Testament he says yeah the Old Testament
yeah he says are you aware that it says
in the Old Testament that Moses was the
most humble serve all people he says
yeah
he says so what your question is my
question is how could it be how could it
be there I could say that Moses was
humble soul people have feared or
Mostafa most of all people and the
priest looks at the rabbi needs rabbi
this question I've been boggling my mind
for many years in other words you can't
hide humility as much as you can try you
can never hide humility why don't we say
Moshe was the ha most of all men I mean
we could have said a lot of things
almost Michelle was the greatest Atika
bald man he was the most strongest of
all man it was the most greatest of all
men why the humblest of all men the
Machine tell us because what led him to
greatness was humility well that it was
pouring in his life I was able to
achieve such greatness was through
humility no emotion of a man once said
man not know what are we King David says
we're nothing we're not even a worm
Abraham you know says we're not even not
even the dust of the earth comes along
moisture Pedro DB told him he says
nothing we're not even were nothing ivan
ma what are we the word wise men hey man
hey is 40 and 5 is 45 you know what else
has a numeric value 45 Adam I loved Alan
ma'am I love that is 5
ma'am is 40 that's 45 he was saying what
is the person well where did more she'll
learn to be so humble how did he learn
to be so humble where did he learn it
from the answer is he learned from God
himself so this is the climax of the
class you ready the climax of the class
goes like this you take God's name 26
you'd came off key thematically 26 26 is
2 plus 6 what's 2 plus 6 8 now what
happens if I multiply God what happens
if I multiply God if I take him and I
make me in greater if I take him by 2 26
times 2 equals 52 5 + 2 7 what happens
if I take God's name 26 and I multiply
it by 3 26 times 378 7 plus 8 15 15 is 1
and 5 at 6 so 8 7 - 6 you see how the
more you multiply his name
the Moni humble ourselves and therefore
the mountain high Bishop says that we
learned from here in lesson and humility
and you keep multiplying and if you do
it on your own time I don't take too
much every time but the more you
multiply it the more you see how humble
Moshe really was we'll take a lesson of
humility just from God's name and maybe
we could now go back to the month that
we were in where we started off with a
color from humility from even this month
you know
when it comes to nice on the highlight
of nissan of this month is passover the
representation of the month is past so
we're all looking forward to Passover
we're all thinking about span so we're
getting ready for Passover and the
highlight of Passover is what comes your
man we think about pastor Matt my time
gives my talk is my time humble is Maya
is a self-absorbed might side it doesn't
have too many ingredients it's flat
there's not much to it bread on the
other hand it rises so what do we do
before Passover where I get rid of all
the cement but not just the comments
that kind of limits the bread will get
rid of the fabric inside us go get rid
of all the ego within us and we get rid
of it by burning it we get bitten there
was once a rabbi which we do so
seriously was sitting by his table and
Passover and look like he was about to
cry and it said rabbi why so upset what
happened to you he said I'm scared I'm
scared us Committee says we made sure he
says I'm not talking about that time I
teach care of the Knesset I mean that's
what I'm worried about
and therefore we learn from the matzo
humility that's what the is all about
and what are we seeing at Passover
besides the Kabuki and manage the Nano
that we sing they ain't by any means
enough become a sham we say God if you
would have brought us to the scene you
will not split it it would have been
enough if you would have split the sea
would have groans really would have let
us die over there it would have been
enough if you would have stand down
if you wouldn't send down the heavenly
brand you wouldn't give us water even
get wouldn't give us know the Dania
kavod the clouds of glory it would have
been enough and finally says if you got
all of this for us but you want to get
brought us to the mountain and you
wouldn't have given us a dime we
wouldn't receive at all it will also
build off how could it be that would
have been enough how could it be that we
went through from the beginning of
creation
Rashi says that the purpose of the world
was for this moment for us three C's of
Torah and all of that
we finally here we finally made it so
give us the Torah it would have been
enough happier than I've been enough the
rabbi struggled to understand this as
well and there are boys I want so a
beautiful explanation and it goes as
follows which mountain we were standing
by a big mountain or a small mountain
the smallest of the mountains there are
other majestic mountains in the region
mountable or mount hermon but God says I
like the inconspicuous
I like the the low-key and it there's a
mountain I'm going to choose our city
and therefore we say it would have been
worth it to go
210 210 years of hell on earth
to get to the spoke moment to stand by
by the mountain and say to ourselves
this is the mountain a guy would have
chosen to give us the Torah so we could
take a lesson in your building so for
approaching Passover I think it's
definitely a lesson to be taken up from
the puzzle game it's definitely lessons
to be taken out from the month aware in
approaching our final pay route my pace
off I think with that we could say we
could learn from the rabbi's how they
were able to learn greatness from even
Hashem you could see if God's name you
could take the credit and you could give
it over to somebody and after all this I
could live here for one thing you know
it me slash a team of Moshe handles a
toy because in his introduction he says
he says that everything I'm about to
tell you is obvious I'm not gonna tell
you anything you don't know if you sit
on your couch for five minutes you could
think of the things I'm about to tell
you by yourself but the truth is if you
learn the book he says in fact if you
learn my whole book you could be able to
reach such levels you'll be able to
resurrect the dead I'm almost done with
the book so if anybody needs any
services I'm kidding but he says that if
anybody who learns my book he says
you'll be able to reach such levels
you'll be able to resurrect that aim
before he starts anything he says what
I'm about to tell you is very obvious
how could it be it's obvious such a book
I would assume that sometimes the truth
is that the things that he says are a
lot of mysticism are involved in it so
it's not true that they're so obvious
but you know what he's doing before I
could write one of the greatest books
that could have been ever written he has
to get himself into the mode of humility
so let's get ourselves into that mode of
humility as we approach a pacer and
let's take upon ourselves the mitzvah of
getting rid of the commands within us
and once we could do that then we could
completely destroy the sitar the sound
of ma'am I love mommy and with that we
could accept upon us a new route and
bring upon the Kryptonite to sit down
let's take the lesson and apply for us
all year round thank you for listening
[Applause]
