I'd like to welcome everybody to our Tuesday bunch of learn once again and but excited that this class is continuing to watch it live that it's available on the website and it's available on the Emmett YouTube channel and different places I need to very pleased to see that people are coming in and engaging in the conversation so in that case Tuesday's you asked everybody to to try to keep Tuesday as their set day twelve o'clock and make that the time to learn together that's why I'm already feeling about this class it's Tuesday it has to be lunch of them so without this introduction let's begin today today's class so we're gonna look at something today think about in idea that for me I found very very inspiring and something which has been particularly helpful I think in my own abode session and this idea what I'll talk about today is really a question of how can we take anything in our life anything that we're doing and and really find a way to make it not just meaningful but to say you know what's what's the heroism know in this action where how can I take what I'm doing in really be heroic with it Yuli say this is something substantial and what I'm doing this is meaningful it's important thing that I'm doing it's it's exactly what I should be doing and and they're taught to take it again that's what give an example to the board every area of our life and say what what can I do to make this the most meaningful most Eroica expression on trauma counselors so in order to do this we're going to look at the particular concept and the concept is really built around a word and the word that were after is a word called creme creme retinol and I think maybe we know that word or we've seen that word before of expression modern what's a clean bayonet hook I'm favoring your eyes I think one question is what is fine and what does it look like what what what does that mean you know sometimes it's translated and if you look at the translation liturgy the first one we trance of the turret into Greek was called the Septuagint that's hard of Shiban the word cream was actually translated as the Greek word charisma which in English means charisma so this would claim really has a lot to do with what charisma is all about so I'm sure charisma something that lost writings well we all want to have be charismatic people and we want the charismatic lies and you want that charisma whereby whereby you know just were successful in what we do so I says the word for that is claimed now the difference from the Torah perspective to the perspective perhaps that the Greeks had and is that there's nothing to do with the word grace other people use over grace as if this is something which you just get that's not the television at all the television is train is something which you work for and which you try to achieve and we're look at now how do we achieve that how do we get there where where does this idea live what one is clean all about because again it's not something which you just get no it's not just personally born with rainbow charisma it's a function of the work that we do and what we do that work all of a sudden something happens where people notice us God notices us and we don't notice ourselves and let's take a look at what that means how that that comes out so in order to do that we take a look at the piece of Camaro piece of comedy and the time of this can be found in in Arabic that means out on base which is 44 on the base and explains them first and the verse says as follows it says a yellow so hovering the gala screen describing the turn the toe is called a yellow javi on screen it's a verse from Michelin proverbs verse on King Solomon tree verse 5 chapter 5 verse 19 the toy is described as I also have them a beloved dear beloved gazelle be Yallah screen and something which brings a cream onto a person let's analyze that word let's think about that for a moment why is the Torah of a study of Torah compared to in ILS of a beloved gazelle or a deer the Vilna Gaon explains that the reason why is because what do we love so much about a gazelle or a deer the one we love about in this is the speed of the motion the movement that they can go from one place to another so quickly and there's something so graceful so so beautiful about that speed if you ever watched it or witnessed it especially in Israel sometimes you see see them in the hills and the mountains that this quick movement so Tara is described as Ella so - its quick in other words the ideas and the wisdom in Tara can help a person move very quickly and grow very quickly you know sometimes we can be very bothered by something but when we get the idea behind it and we get the deeper vision behind it all of a sudden begins to make sense and all of a sudden were able to to start to get a perspective in life and to say I could deal with that like I can do that you know I understand that there's something more than my eye can see that you know I can deal with the situation I put a proper perspective there's a deeper vision going on so we can move ourselves very quickly to the study of Torah faster than if we just try to change ourselves in another way so on one hand the Torah is called ILO sawed off is like a fast gazelle it moves it can move you very quickly but the second part of the statement says the other screen yellow screen means that it brings train again this to this word pain and those who study it I'll just quote Rashi Rashi explains on a verse and Rashi says what does it mean via Alice crane it brings V Alice pain that brings this charm or pain or charisma whatever going to call it will try to translate in a moment a load aha and those who study it and Rashi says a cold manatsu no so everybody wants to raise that person up but alas oh no Senna slow pain because he's engaged in the study of Torah he gets something called crane that's called charm grace charisma he gets it how does he get it because he does the work or she does the work of learning it and Rashi tells us everyone wants to raise the money was mean everyone means anyone that comes a contact that what person looks that person and says that Wow there's something different about you there's something special about you there's something unique I'm noticing something about you people raise you up says that Hashem raises you up a shaman looks at you differently and Shem says well there's something special about this person in fact there's something very special about this person Shem says I would accept you to filos I'm accept your prayers better because you've done you've acquired this claim and of course we love ourselves much much deeper won't we do it so let's see we could work a little bit in this idea of understanding what what is clean what is this magic that happens that people just want to listen to us I want to be with us and are impressed by us that of course barraco that a sham is so impressed with us and we're impressed with ourselves let's see we could just just touch the vision of it and I think if we can it's a very practical lesson in in terms of really how to sanctify every moment of a life and how to make our lives meaningful so let's talk about the word for a moment down let's talk about the word the words clean so the word clean is the following word it's pain which is that no pain let's take a look at these two letters for a moment a threat and unknowing and see if we could understand it and and really we're going to say right now is actually comes from little bits it's actually from as Oh are it's faint we could find it in the yet we know the first mine wrote of a Reb Nachman so pain let's think about that word for a moment you know when we talk about the letter cut the letter read numerically cat is Aleph bait gimel dalet a loves iron hat it's eight eight is always the letter that is something which goes above the natural world in fact it's interesting the letterhead is a very difficult letter to pronounce okay it lives very deep inside the throat in the gut wrong it's very difficult to come out not just for Americans instead it'll come out for everybody it's very hard to produce and it's supposed to be that way why because the letter that apparently takes us above the natural world numerically it's eight we think about eights in in Judaism number eight we know that the Conoco does miracle happens if something goes for eight days we know that Mila is on the eighth day that there's a something above nature about Mila it's natural to have desires and passion but Mueller says we want to control Griese I'm so far thank you very much great Sam so it was eight days after we came out of miss Ryan eight for us is that number of going above nature you know it says that the the world lives in a cycle of sevens if we think about it seven is always the natural world we know that we have seven number we have seven colors in a rainbow for example red orange yellow blue blue indigo green and violet ROYGBIV red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet we know that there's seven eleven seven notes in a musical scale c d e f g a b when you get to the 8th you're repeating in fact seven is Sheva which is Sheva from the word salvia to to be complete satisfied the completeness that's this world eight takes us to the idea of SHM on a shmouna is actually the keyboard Shawn may or may not which means X s you know in modern Hebrew we call that may not is fat because what's fat fat success is not supposed to be there if you person wasn't good shape they wouldn't have she may not even be show me so what Ramona does is it breaks out of the natural world and takes us to a different world that's always the vision of eight that's the vision of a red the eighth number again it's it's it's unnatural it's difficult to produce what's the vision of that the vision is that the first aspect of achieving this quality called clean is when a person breaks out of the natural world how do they do that well but learning turn the toe is a gift that God gave from above and basically really just brought it down to this world for us so a person engages in in the in the ideas that really take us above and out of this world that's engaging in something which we call the cret it's saying I'm looking for a vision in life that just breaking out of the normal I'm saying what what vision can I do in anything that I'm doing right now which connects me to something which is deeper than me is above me how can I get in touch with that cut that above nature if you don't tell her that's the ultimate expression of it because the study of terrorist study something from outside this world coming into this world but really every aspect of life offers the opportunity to say how can i connect with that cred how can I get above myself and and and find the way that there's there's the vision of a Shem for me right now that's connecting with a cut and there are many ways to do it but it's interesting that the Talmud tells us the governor even in Rashi points out for us that when we do it people look at us and say wow like there's something special as if to say it's like you're coming from another place you know maybe that's what charisma really is charisma is something where people look at you and say that you just you don't belong here you you're something different about you there's something special about you and there's something special about you because you tried to plug in to an idea from above trying to connect to a Shem with that idea that's a fit that's the first letter of the word paint to break ourselves above the vision of this world that was interesting the second letter is a note so feet then so feet is the longest letter in the Hebrew alphabet it extends way below the line just keeps going and going going in fact you the word in Hebrew means a grandchild and because a grandchild is something which goes out from you to another generation it goes keeps going and going from you then on the limb so feet the end none end another we call the year the last known in a word extends below the line and just keeps going and going and going so what's the vision of Cain the vision of crane is to reach up high tap into an idea which is above this world tap into an aspect of the terror ask one selves the question what can I do to bring a Shem into the world in exactly what I'm doing right now and then extend it as long as below-the-line bring it down to the world as far as it could go that's crane so isn't a gift clean isn't something were born with pain is the active process that in every situation we're in in life to say how can I find a way to bring this activity feeling emotion idea conversation whatever it might be how can I say what is God's desire for me right here and let me bring it down and bring it down to the dawn and bring it down as deep as I can go and the Talmud tells us that's what all of a sudden something happens there's pain in the person people look and say wow like I want to I want to talk to you and a champ says yeah I'm impressed with you and you look at yourself and you say I'm impressed with myself because I really just took that moment that we sanctified it we reached the pie we tapped into an idea and we brought it Blue Boy as deep as we can go you know I'll just give you just a practical example of what I mean and I think it's just a little kind of just just sort of funny example in that that one time it was it was a heavy raise raining and I got a call from one of our our staff members and who said that Sarah B who said that her car needed needed to jump and it was pouring rain and she said Robert Kraft can you come out would you know do you have cables I said yeah yeah cables said you know and she said well maybe I should call Harv Erin you know kaveri ms organization I want the formulation that that guys go out and they help you with jump in your car and if you're out of gas or open your lock door and just terrific amazing amazing guys who do that and obviously don't take any money for it to measure Kohath erin and i'm everything to myself right there i said to myself you know why should she call her their room why should another guy go out there and get wet I'll go out there and get with this I don't like getting wet but I thought to myself that I'd rather I get wet than someone else get wet I'm gonna go do it so I went out there the pouring rain I don't think I even had a raincoat and I went out there I took my cables I jumped her car and apparently she thought it was interesting and like she started facetiming it onto Facebook and I've never getting a lot of comments on it yet people are so impressed and I say to myself what what what caused the impression it's not a big deal jump a car you know it's not it's it's it's it's not a big deal to go out and rain to jump a car you there people do it all the time I think in my own mind what I felt so good about and maybe was impressive about it was that I really said where's the cut here how can I reach above myself and say like what is a coach Barca want for right now and the conclusion I came up with this I need to get wet no one else is getting what I'm getting wet and when we go out with the proper feeling and the proper sensitivity and saying what is the divine will write in yet now that we're in a chef's world we've broken out of our world around the world of the haha the world of that world that goes beyond nature that world called cret and we bring it down to the most mundane area of life cables batteries cars people start saying wow that's something because that's crane that maybe be a little bit of an example of where the of a practical way the mean of crane comes into the world but it could be in any situation you know a conversation how do we how do we listen to each other we're involved in the conversation so we need to talk to you I talk to us do do we do we stop and say this person in front of us is the most important person in the room right now and we put our cell phones down we turn them off and we you tell the person look I'm here to listen to you and all of a sudden the the feeling that that's generated in the the the the the love that really exists between in that situation is just so elevated and pain is exhibited one feels good in one's own self of the conversation the other person feels so good about what the conversation was course coach barraco looks down and loves it as well because we reached up high and said how could I bring how can I go above what's natural here it's natural to be thinking about other things natural let the mind run its natural to to be distracted the signal I'm gonna choose to let you be the most important person at this moment that's a threat and bring it down to the conversation that's the note all the way down so that's kind a little bit in the Torah the person that exemplified this quality more than anybody else was Yosef it's antic yo safe if we look at Yosef yo safes meter in fact is hain you know we say that Avraham is about festive kindness yet ska it was about strict justice din Yaakov was truth and the thirty-third the meter the personality quality associated with Yosef we're told his cane and he think about yosik's life everything that Yosef did wherever he went he was able to just make that moment extraordinary you know we know that for example he gets sold down to bits Ryan next thing you know he's being lifted up and he's the head of perhaps of Poti fire he's in the house of Potiphar and all of a sudden the wife of Potiphar knows and notices him he's sent to prison and in the prison all of a sudden he starts ruling over the prison he starts being uplifted people look at him and say to him wow there's something really special about you wherever he goes people just notice him now it's not because he's born with natural charisma that's not what it is it means that in every situation in life he's trying to say what can I do here to make the situation extraordinary what's my job right now you know for example when he yourself was in prison so it says that he saw these are masks him so for the button of the Baker and the reason they asked him to interpret his dream is he went over to them and he looked at them and he said you seem to be despondent you look you look depressed you look down it's something wrong and then they said that about the dreams and he started interpreting the dreams know where Yosef is really praised is the fact that even though he's in prison even though he himself is incarcerated unjustly and have been languishing in prison for ten years for something he didn't do he's able to say how can I look at someone else and ask them what's wrong that he had that sensitivity to notice me as he wasn't just invested and involved in himself he was looking to see where where can I do her sit I work on AI behind this was someone and by doing so he went over any exhibitor put the dreams and that of course people looked at him like well who is this person and it comes to the attention of all of a part of who we interpret sparse during the process is there anybody like you in the world he raises him up to be the the second in command the Viceroy but yosef screen wherever he went people lifted him up they noticed him they were aware of him of course the brothers he was also you know even as a youth he was already had a deep vision where life needs to be about and he had dreams he didn't present those dreams properly which is really a top of another discussion but he was always living a life of what there's a there's a vision above myself here the brothers thought it was against them but there's a vision beyond me and I think that example in prison is something which really speaks to it that he had this peace of mind and the the the the ability to say what can I do to do huh sit here how can I be out of myself how can we other center even here and people start he starts ruling over the prison they put him in charge of the prison that's crane there's something where people say you're coming from a different place coming from a place we were reaching a pie you're looking for that cut what's the sensitivity I should have right now and you bring it down to the note that was the meat of yourself exotic and that's why this meter is clean it's specifically called called clean now I'm particularly inspired by this vision because it's a way of thinking in every place every discussion every conversation everything we do in the course of our day which may appear to be mundane to some extent what can we do to reach up high to grab onto that good how can I do it I'm not going to bring it down into what I'll do right now if we can do that all of a sudden every moment becomes an opportunity every moment becomes an opportunity you know indeed to be almost heroic like I'm gonna do it's the best possible way of doing this right now whatever I'm doing conversation the sensitivity the the reaction the feeling the the the the the words I'm gonna choose every moment becomes a opportunity of sanctifying God's name being a heroic and we get that and the result of that is we love ourselves because Bob who loves us and people look at us and say wow like you are coming from a different place that's a side benefit we're not do it for that purpose but that's that is what charisma really is that is charisma that's why the Greeks when they transfer the were trained he said charisma not like we think about it in America like it's just born with it you're not born with it the tourist perspectives you reach up high you bring it down I'd like to just to to show you right now really how deep this vision goes and I'm gonna do it by demonstrating something a little bit with the letters and a little bit through the zuhr and the re and like to think about Berle Gershenfeld to bring this idea tonight to my attention let's take a look at this idea a little bit from the perspective of of the owl of bait and and those who have watched our lectures online about the Olive bait I think will appreciate this very much you know when we have this discussion we know that every letter has a numerical value it's called gamma tree which is very important and I'm gonna bring this to you right now that too because the study of the Czar is something which we study for its own sake but something because it brings the idea down in a way that I feel makes it very real very practical and gives us like have a handle to see it and to appreciate his depth and to strive for it so let's take a look and see if we could understand it you know when we talk about a chef so we know show him as many names one of his name's is York a love cake you cave of K now it's really good hey pop hey as we know but I don't want to write the hey some runny as a as a cough but let's just know that that's a hey numerically we know that you'd is 10 and hey is 5 and 5 is 6 and hey is 5 it's 26 and that's one of the names for God you take off a however there's another thing we could say about God's name the zora tells us that if we want to express God into the world how do we do that in terms of the letters express God in the world what does that mean how do i express God into the world well I know as a person the way I express something is I I speak it out so suppose we were to speak out these letters what does that mean let's say you'd let's speak out hey let's speak out love let's speak out hey so what it means to express it out let's write it out you can write out a letter and the letter has a spelling so I'm gonna write that out good is good love solid hey is hey olive you would hey love is love Aleph love and hey is hey olive that's what I did right here fair we could see that and you know maybe I'll put this on the whatsapp chat to get a little clearer maybe in a nicer version so I could study if you like but all I did was I wrote it out jordiz your valid hey spell hey Aleph love is spelled love a love of and another hae is spelled hey olive if we do a little numerical value of that let's see you'd love Dollard is 20 hey olive is 6 love olive of is 13 and hey olive is 6 we add that together we get 45 what's significant about 45 45 is a numerical value of Adam Adam Aleph is $1 valid Aleph is $1 for mem is 40 I don't Ford 45 Aleph is $1 for vendors 40 45 what's the connection God's Express name is the same in America value I've done which means a human being because the job of the other in this world the job of a human being is to express got out into this world that's we're trying to achieve our job here is to to find a way to drink on down into everything that we do I'd um I love $1 for mmm 4045 same numerical value as God's expressed name express God out into the world and that's we're trying to achieve expressing God out of the world in whatever way we can and everything that we do again whether it be in any situation or or any conversation any action any small thing big thing what does God want for me here what's God's todo what does God really want what's the idea behind it God what's your - what's your vision what's your head what do you want me to bring down or not just do it but what do you want me to be feeling thinking and then doing that's the job of a human being and that's a beautiful concept I think just in its own right that the expressed name of God 45 same to vast it was out of the human being because certainly indicates about what the human being is all about to express God in this world but let's take it a step deeper the reality is that we express got out of this world in three ways we express God out in this world intellectually with our thoughts we express guide out of the world emotionally their hearts feelings and we express got out of the world through our actions now it's interesting that there are three letters each one corresponds to these ideas the letter yud always corresponds to the idea of thought why is that let's think about it for a moment yours is the smallest letter in the alphabet it doesn't touch the top of the line it doesn't touch the bottom of line it just hangs there like a thought numerically it's 10/10 is defined in mathematics as a thought number zero through nine or natural once you get to ten its cognitive you have to start using other numbers to form it one in a zero if we know they love Hebrew good is the way to put something in the future for example who show mer he guards who yeesh more with the you at the beginning says he will guard you want to push something to a place where it doesn't live yet at the future for something which is only in thought it gets the urine at the beginning of the word you would always represents the idea of an idea a thought that's the way we convey consistent throughout throughout a bowl of of Torah thought and actually the best way to member it's just a dot that's all this smallest letter and here alphabet just hangs there doesn't touch the top of mind doesn't touch the bottom the line just hangs there like a thought thought just tanks we have a letter for emotion the letter for our motion is the letter Aleph now I love oftentimes associate with God's name but in this context its emotion why because how do we pronounce in olive what's the pronunciation of an olive so I'm gonna pronounce this for everybody ready did you hear that out there there's no sense there's no pronunciation to give a presentation use a vowel he's an AA or an air or an A or an E or an O by itself there's no pronunciation it always represents something which is completely spiritual something which has absolutely no no way of putting anything around that of course the letter that represents the chef as well and there's spiritual connections always The Aleph but it also also represents the part of the human being which is emotion because emotion isn't something which you could quantify it's nothing you can measure it's not something you can even you know even record it's just something which just exists without without any any any any confinement limitation without any boundary that's emotion that's the olive and then we have a letter for action action of a human being this third way we relate to this world express God in this world through ideas through emotions third way to express God this world is through action the letter through for expressing out of the world is this letter here it's a hey that was interesting by the way if you look at letter hey number one you notice it's composed of $1 and you it so dollars always represents the physical world it's the first letter that starts expressing itself in four directions north south east west or a Cartesian plane XY axis it it's it means a delat door you look at this world i rabbi's tell us that this world is a proved oral Olam haba it's a corridor to the next world this world is about a door that's why we make such a big deal about doors and judaism we put a mezuzah on the doorpost everywhere we go doors signify what this world is all about movement getting you know it's entering to something else but if you notice that the Dollard has a good in it interesting what is the physical world all about it's expressing an idea out into the world that's what an action is an action means that I'm going to take the my idea I'm gonna make it real in the world that's a haze expressing God into the world through action taking my idea and bringing it out into the world that's the same reason why in Judaism we know that our hand is called a hand is called a ayaat just took those same letters there you it to the dollar what's a hand it takes my idea which is up here and it brings it out into the world as far as it can go that's a Yad and that's what I hae is so hey is this the letter that symbolizes take that idea and making it real you know in the discussion of language he always represents a female vision of the world and you'd release represents a male vision of the world meaning that the job of a man perhaps in a prototypical way is to reach a pot up high above himself like to fill in reach above and bring an idea down as deep as it can go the vision of a woman is to take that idea and make it real into the world perhaps we understand that in procreation in the best possible way a man provides the seed the spark the idea and woman takes that seed and then creates something very real in this world which of course a child you know and that's why we know that the word for man in Hebrew is a each and the word for a woman in Hebrew is a Keisha a man is an ish yes the hood the idea a woman is he shot she has the hey you'd expressed out of the dollar he takes the idea and she pills on it of course that's God's name God's name is a Hewett and I hate together because God's all about idea Express to action as well you move the you move the hey the consultant tells us you have H + 2 H is together as two fibers and when fire joins fires configuration it's important message in the song right about marriage that there has to be guided the marriage in order for it to be to be something which especially they got out of the marriage it's gonna be configuration so very fascinating we have three ways to express kind in the world we have a you'd through ideas what idea is the right idea here what's got wobbly thinking now - what can I do the sanctify this moment we have the olive look what's the feeling I supposed to try to invest in this right now and hey what's the action I should be doing right now what is that action if we think like that said God what do you want from me now we're reaching above ourselves we're giving that that div little pronounced letter we're reaching high I'm gonna bring it down into whatever we do the hain that's the none bring it down bring it all the way to have them over to it I guess it did in every situation what does God want from me and whether I be in both of ours house where the prison it doesn't matter whether the king of Egypt doesn't matter I'm reaching high and bringing down now with that in mind this one is show something very interesting we said above that God's expressed named was 45 same numerical value as autumn and we wrote God's name in a certain way we wrote out God's name in a way in which the the way we spelled hey yud hey hey we spell - hey with an olive like this hey hey the truth of the matter is I have to be honest with you there are actually three ways to spell hey how can we spell hey we could spell hey like this with the hey olive we could spell hey hey hey like this oh we could spell hey like this hey you'd like this three ways to spell hey let's go back to God's Express name and let's write it out with all those different combinations of hey so I'm gonna write like this I'm gonna write the good the same way good love dollars but my second hey I'm gonna write it as a hey hey I'm gonna write my love the same wave of olive love but my last tain you hey Bob hey I'm gonna write it as hey yud okay so that's what I did I wrote good hey love hey so what do we have there we took away the olive that hey and we got a hey we keep our olive here in the love and we put a unit over here like this interesting now we've seen God his name well we speak out and express God's name in the world we can express God out of the world in three ways we get the idea of the good expressing God out of the world of ideas we see the idea of expressing God out of the world the aleph and emotion and we expressing God out of the world with a hey of action three ways to express God out of the world now remember what we said before when we wrote God's name just with the olive and the olive there was 45 which correspondent as we said to Adam as we mentioned before the human being has to express God's name but let's take a look now if we write God's name so that one of the haze gets a hey the other he gets the hood let's see the numerical value of this new world this new expelling of God's name well you'd love Dollard is again 20 hey hey is hey put five plus five is ten Bauval the fob stays the same 13 and hey good hey is five you does 10 that's 15 we add this together what we get 30 plus 15 is 45 plus 13 is 58 interesting how interesting 58 is the same numerical value of this word pain pain that is 8 known is 50:58 interesting what's hang reign is finding a way to express God out into the world in every way possible expressing God out in the world of thought what do I have to think right now to make it meaningful I love expressing God out in the world of emotions what's the correct feeling I must have that feeling right now and of course in action what's the action that I should be doing right now to express God when we do it we express got out in a way that numerical value of God's name becomes 58 which is the same numerical value of crane and that's what clean is and that's why Shane call it charm charisma whatever you want to call it it's so powerful because when a person has reached up high to that fret and so I'm gonna find a way to bring the correct thought feeling emotion action down the person's done the hard work and that hard work causes others to look at that person to say you're coming from another place Wow and a chef says yeah good job you came from another place and you look at yourself you said I did it I came from another place I brought down when I supposed to be doing right here if there's a good about ourselves and that's what we call crane in Judaism that's the meter of height and Entering that's actually this is actually something from what the re the are recess on top of the zone the reason sauce is a very holy type of thought coming from when the greatest catalysts in Jewish Jewish history but I say it because it's practical it's practical because that's the way we want to live our lives we want to live our lives in a way that we want to bring meaning and sanctity and invest everything we do with the best possible idea of feeling in action and when we do we're over well with a sense of self satisfaction and divine satisfaction and and and the relationship with others will be so beautiful too because people look and say wow I'm impressed with that I'll lift you up there's a session to me as it says in the Gemara you know what's interesting and I'll end with this thoughts and just because we're on it right now and we have someone else in the total besides Joseph who is is referred to with the word Hine and that's Noah said why was not saved from the flood is because it says no matzo Haim by any action knock felt pain in the eyes of God I think you look at the word Noah Noah is annoying and a threat no you found pain in the eyes of God no interesting if you spelled Noah backwards was it spell it spells hey how interesting Thoth was saved from the flood because he found rain in guys God's eyes what does that mean it's a beautiful Parrish for the Ramadan Moshe David valleys - student - Rebbe of the rum huh he says his fellows he said why was no except in the flood was it because of his great righteousness not so clear Sadiq but the roots of it says he was Sonic in his generation does that mean he wasn't in great a novice generation maybe maybe wouldn't greater or maybe not as great it's not so clear but something that he did do was he found pain in the eye the eyes of God what does that mean God look at him and said I thought you finding I'm looking at you and I see something great about you know I looked at the world a world corruption a world theft the world of immorality he said this can't be the way I'm gonna reach out I'm gonna break out of this vision I'm gonna live my life differently I'm gonna try to bring the generation with me wasn't successful but he tried to break out of the vision of his generation there has to be more I'm gonna reach up higher oh you're not gonna be not you're not gonna be no no it means you're gonna be rest you're not just gonna be restful your nuts can go with the flow and that's gonna follow the societal values you're gonna break out of it and of it all coach bajo says the way I look at you as I see Saints I turn it around I'm giving you pain I see pain in you because you did the hard work of breaking out of what was normal and that's why I have such love for you and that's why you were the servic of being saved because you got faint pain is really the perspective that we have and others have and gods have God has when we break out of his natural normal in this world God looks us and says I I give you faith I listen to you more I love you more God loves us always love you more people look how I really get you I want learn from you I want to be with you and we think it maybe even most importantly we look at ourselves and we say wow I'm really proud of myself that's the vision of Keynes and I think it's a beautiful vision and I think it's something we can strive for and I think it's very real I think it's the way to live our lives meaningfully and by doing so God willing we'll be able to achieve the three blessings that come God's love love for others and love of ourselves I invite everybody to if you have questions on this
