Rabbi Mordechai Kraft - Yosef's Charm

[Music] we talked this morning a little bit about yosef and um and probably the outstanding quality of yosef you know the yosef story is actually one of my i think well i don't know mine but i think everybody is so intrigued by the story it's because you know it really has everything in it you know it's it's and most importantly it's really about misunderstanding somebody and and not seeing his greatness and you know then ultimately recognizing their error and you know and just there's so much emotion and it's a drama in many ways you know what um is you know are they going to recognize joseph he also recognizes them he seems to want to test them he wants to to challenge them so to speak to see if they've done shiva over having soldiers slavery there's so much in it but what i want to look at this morning in a little bit of time we have is kind of this one aspect of yosef and joseph is described in a very unique way he's described as possessing the media of the aspect of and i'd like to talk about what that means about what what what that's all about and why that's very specific to yosef you know yosef the meat of you know sometimes we translate it as um like a man in hebrew it finds favor in my eyes or sometimes it's translated as charm or or um or grace perhaps the greeks when they translate the word and they put it from the greek to the hebrew they translated it as charisma charismas which is charisma in english and it's it's the greeks that was the best word they could come up with you know when they think about a type of you know charisma then that overtakes a person and what is charisma if you think about in english krisman english really is the idea that there's something noticeable about the person people you know just like are astounded by that person the difference is you know the charisma that the greeks were talking about and maybe that you know western society speaks about it seems to be like an inborn like an innate cross this person has charisma you know they he just has it so to speak as if you know it's like either you got it or you don't have it from a jewish perspective we understand that it's something much more than that that's from the perspective really of of the torah is probably you know the most beautiful quality person can possess and we're going to see what it really means or really is is something which you acquire you can acquire this type of brain and we'll discuss a little bit how we acquired it we acquired and and how yosef achieved this and what made joseph so unique and so special so the perspective is really like this perspective of from a torah perspective let me is is something which a person achieves when they reach way above themselves and they bring something down in other words when a person breaks out of this world so to speak and and strives for a higher vision a higher level vision of what's possible and then they bring it all the way down into the depths of their lives and the darkness so to speak of this world the there's something about them which begins to to shine you know let's use that word shine and you also seem to possess that and that's what the good lord tells us by the way he tells us very interesting about this quality of pain it says that if somebody learns torah to read from the gemara rumor says that when a person studies terror and it raises up this quality so rashid and the governor will be found in um in arabic so what does it mean everyone wants to raise him up this is no sense the torah that he studied gives him this grace the screen so what does that mean what's that all about what's this you know what this video possesses so let's define it a little deeper the word for charm grace greek called charisma is two letters now it's interesting the letter is a very interesting line in the hebrew alphabet first of all it's very difficult to pronounce you know it's not just we americans we get stuck when we try to say we hear you know the news happy hanukkah right it's really not hanukkah but it's very difficult to say that and it's very difficult for a reason in fact it's not pronounceable that's why it's a letter which you have to break so to speak the natural way of speaking in order to get there it's it's not a natural sound people want to speak normally from the lips from the upper palate from the tongue middle or from the palate over here but to dig deep down in your throat and bring out a letter you have to break what's natural it's not natural speech and that's why you know and everyone that's why happy hanukkah in this way everyone will say happy hanukkah not happy hanukkah to you because unless you're trained to do it it does not come naturally you know we americans kind of get stuck there a little bit the reason why is because the letter always represents connecting ourselves to something above nature something that goes beyond this world and what's you know you look at the letter hat for example numerically aleph is one date is two gimbal three dollar four five six nine seven is numerically eight if we think about it the letter eight is always associated with miracles isn't it eight nights of chanukah right the brick meal of a baby boy is on the eighth day because really by creating a covenant on the let's call the organ of passion we're really saying this baby boy what we expect from you in life is for you to break out of your nature and not be ruled by your nature as jesus says i'll also change nature for you you change your nature for me so to speak you can rule over your nature you don't be driven only by by wants and passions to musks i'll change nature for you you know so that's what we said you know we love about hashem but if we look at hashem is when he changes nature he does miracles what hashem knows about us eight days of the breasts even the word even the letter itself you know the the number in hebrew numerical value is eight the same four letters is also the root of shaming means fat oil excess the person who may not says excess because what's excess what you know if we use the english word fat what does it really mean it means that the person's gone beyond what they're supposed to be naturally naturally versus supposed to be x you know i don't mean extra large naturally a person's supposed to be a certain size but when they break out of what's natural now they're in the world of shemena eight so to speak in a negative sense the same four letters if you rearrange them again there listen just phonetically it spells the same letters which means soul because the soul is breaking out of the physical the soul is the purely spiritual part that exists inside of us all if you really rearrange the letters again like do another you know what's the word like we play you know bananagrams right we write your letters again it supposed same letters just put letters in different order missionaries the oral law what's the oral law it's the divine law that's given from above to below the law that connects us so to speak from up here to above up here to above this world to world beyond so the idea of eight is always this vision of going beyond this world a person has to break out of this world they have to grab onto to a higher vision so to speak of this world get beyond and go to that that that hurt is there a vision here that i could latch on to it's a division of a big idea that i could bring down is it the correct emotional response i'm going to really work towards over here the inner world of of feeling the right thing thinking the right thing judging favorably whatever it might be that's the can i break out so to speak of the natural world and latch myself up to something above and that's when a person learns torah it says the naturally why do they have because what's territory is coming from the world of shaman the person says the vision i have for this world isn't just what i see the vision i have for this was that i want to break out of this world and grab onto the torah i wanted to grab something above me and bring it down into this world so when a person does that all of a sudden people look at them and it says the elevate that why because you know the look of the person as if to say like where did you come from you're not coming from planet earth you're coming from above this world this dimension something is special about you because you're able to go above and pull something deeper down the letter which is the last letter of the word is a nun sophie we know we have two thousand nuns in in we have the nun the regular known one's the middle of the word the beginning word and we have a nun sulfite the word the letter that comes the end of the word the nun the nun saw feet is the longest letter in hebrew it goes like this it starts above the line and extends below and below and below below and actually what does not mean no means that your grandchild what's a grandchild someone who extends your generations outward in other words we only have you know a child we were in one generation a child is able to go down another generation and their grandchild continues the generations you know this idea of a nun is actually extending downward extending your legacy you know you're just extending your legacy down then that's enough so the idea of unknown is always the idea of taking something and bringing it down into the world in the deepest possible way so what's breaking out of the physical reaching above ourselves so to speak to latch onto a deeply spiritual idea an idea above this world as a war and living it and bringing it down into the world bringing me in as deep as we can go into the noon by the way numerically is 50. it's always associated with the idea of mouthless kingship why because what's the job of the king the death of the king is supposed to bring ideas and make them real in the world the king is in charge of fighting the wars the king's in charge of making sure there's the economy is working king is in charge of making sure that the garbage is being picked up the king you know it's a the king's job is to to extend the vision into the world that's really what a king is all about so that's we have the vision of now this is something which yosef possessed it says that when yaakov blesses his life he says to him that you know you you are a child of him i want to bless you to continue to be able to live your life to reach above yourself and bring that pain into the world you know bring that vision to the world in fact when joseph meets bin yaman for the first time you know after vidyam comes down to him to try him and and uh joseph reveals himself and or even before he also reveals himself he said who's this your little brother and yosef does not yet you know of extending above himself and bringing ideas down the deepest possible way and that's wherever he went the reason why wherever he went he was noticed you know he's he's noticed by his brothers well that may be inappropriately noticed because maybe he misused the idea early on in his life but as he goes down into egypt and he's sold to slavery he arrives in the house of potiphar but notices him and uh you know which points him to be the head of the whole estate he's a slave but the head of the whole household who else notices him the wife of potiphar he's everywhere he goes he's seen there's something that that's remarkable about him she notices of course and that gets him you know into trouble to some extent and he ends up in the prison and while he's in prison you know he's also noticed by the way that he's appointed to be head of the prison wherever he goes there's something which glows in yourself in fact when he becomes the viceroy the manager says something kind of interesting that it says that ali is sure that the the women of egypt used to stand on a wall to look over just to gaze at him just to look at him you know and said like it says that if you look at that if they were cutting vegetables when he walked by it was possible to lose a finger you have to be careful there's something like there's a glow now he had tremendous physical beauty he also was just a star but it wasn't only the beauty which was startling it was this aspect that he possessed now what does that mean again it's not something which a person's born with it's the active work that a person does when they reach above themselves and shoot for the big idea and want to bring this idea down they have the idealism as a word to go above themselves say i'm bringing it down we have the presence of mind to go with themselves and bring it down you know i remember one time you know i kind of felt um it was like a very rainy day at emmett outreach and um one of our you know one of our our direct our um our program director sarah b so she came in the office and said you know i my car i can't start my car i need to jump and uh you know so we could call you just do the number of showroom showman was an organization that you know of religious guys who go out and help like fix cars and things like this so i was saying to myself like you know why why should she call showroom you know i should do it you know i could i don't know how to jump a car i have cables and was pouring rain outside i didn't have a raincoat i didn't have umbrella but i said to myself you know it's the right thing to go out and do it because someone's going to get wet you know let me go with twice another jewish guy away i'll go away so as i go out of my coat on and you know in the rain and i'm taking my cables out and jumping the car and i practically think like it looked something about it caught her attention and she took out her cell phone and started facebooking it live out into the the world of facebook and i got all these comments about it oh you know right craft they're jumping the the car and i think like what in the rain i would say like what's so unusual about it you know i didn't feel i was doing anything which which was tremendously uh you know difficult or or you know i don't like getting wet i really don't you know i know how to drop a car but it it's it i think what caught her attention and maybe caught the attention of people was i went out really with a positive motivation i really thought to myself no you know i don't want someone else getting wet i'm gonna do this and you know because i think i reached for that idea which is above myself that idea of how can i do and save somebody else from discomfort i brought an idea down into the world and when i brought the idea in the world i think at that moment it gave me a degree of friend and was noticed well there's something that that that's an amazing thing you're doing right now even though technically it wasn't so difficult and was there wasn't such a great act of heroism but it it was because i want to above myself for the big idea and brought the big idea down so when we live an idea of idealism and we reach in every situation we're in to come and to say that how can i connect high and bring the idea down into this world that's when we acquire that charisma so to speak and what does it say you know everyone notices who knows it people notice it you know else known as and you notice it hashem loves you for it people love you for it and you love yourself for it because you really feel you lived in a way which was real and really you know really noble really just tried to grab on to a deep deep idealism and that was joseph joseph in every stage of his life was able to grab onto that now let me give you one example that i always think is so so beautiful to me and you know when joseph is in prison so again how does he arrive in prison he rises in prison because asia's potiphar notices him the wife of knows him and and tries to seduce him and at the moment you know he's about to uh actually you know it's a big challenge for him not another simple challenge but he is able to he is able to resist one second is able to resist but it costs him to go to prison now he's in prison for approximately nine years or ten years at this point because it's gonna be ultimately 12 years in prison and also two other people come in who are they the baker and the buffer and both accused of of having committed crimes against um crimes against power and what's interesting is something that that this is a very simple statement but it's extremely uh you know it's really important so yours has been there about ten years and all of a sudden these new prisoners come in and it says in the parts of the issue but you shall say and yosef asks the ministers of pharaoh who are with them in the jail based on donna of laymore saying why are your faces look so sad today i guess they have been there previous days but he notices them and it says why do you look why do you appear sad to me today well you know why what's what's going on and they say so let's just look for a moment so they respond they tell them you know we've been accused and we've had these dreams and joshua said i know how to interpret dreams but there's a ramban here that asks of ancient question it says he asks them he notices them says why does the turf to tell us this detail like it did you know doesn't doesn't uh doesn't give us any extraneous information the torah is very concise and terse as we know and only gives up what what hashem deems necessary for us to know many much of the toys we know is found in the oral law you know as it says like i told you how do you know how to know all the laws of shri it's all there are law all says and there's a lot god says just check the way i explain to you jim doesn't even list those laws because so and they're all law but when it comes to this detail of noticing the faces of the sarmaskh and sarofi the the the butler of the baker yours of comments and the torah records today records since the rabbana asks why the says what's going on he wrote the sabbath yosef because the torah wants to let us know an additional praise of yosef this is all designed to tell how great joseph is why let's think for a second who was he in prison first that he was accused falsely he was he was andar he was still young he was a slave in egypt still slave in jail and who does he ask they saw him gondolin two ministers these two ministers are people who directly connected the pharaoh so he is asking two people who are you know at the at the uh the elite of egypt so to speak and he is a slave in egypt apparently each one of these people serving in in pharaoh's government as it were you know had power to thus say says rosho you know really had i know the music exactly here but they have a lot of power this is for didn't have any fear to go over them and ask them and say you look sad today why [Music] uh so what's interesting is the praise of yourself what's the praise of jesus the praise of joseph was that he was able to have the sensitivity to notice somebody else's problem even in prison you know if you think about that well you know it's something startling joseph was in prison himself he wasn't evid he was a uh he was a person who needs also need he who needs help he has his own problems to worry about his own worries is he gonna get out when's he gonna get out he's been there ten years he doesn't know when the sentence is coming to an end you know he's a slave they say this be a slave by the way and egypt was the worst place in the world to be a slave to be a prisoner in egypt was probably one of the worst places to be a prisoner he was a prisoner was a slave so he had worries you know granted he had high level be talking and trust but we look at the story through the eyes of almost the human aspect of yosef it to be concerned with someone else's needs to be worried about their problems to notice wow your your face looks sad today why tell them can i help you even in a prison in egypt is something remarkable and what does that mean that's where khan lives is that aspect of wherever you are you reach up high and you say what is the bigger vision that i could bring down to where i am and for yourself in this structure what was that big vision the vision was how can i do hustle for someone else how can i do kindness how can i give beyond myself even here how could i take that value that concept that i learned in my father's home about seeing some of kim the image of god having respect for every human being being sensitive to the needs of every human being and how can i reach up high and bring that idea down into the depth the lowest place of planet earth a prison in egypt when one does that all of a sudden they achieve this aspect of charisma for grace it's like you you you you you're reaching for something beyond what's normal you broke out of the seven you hit the eight you broke out of seven you went for the the unnatural letter and you brought it all the way down to the no and all the way down to the deepest depth of a prison in egypt and and look at that people start noticing it then the president turned the guard the guards in the prison notice and they made a head of the prison and eventually it's that pain which is going to come to the to you know eventually the sarah marshall is going to remember that and and he's going to come to power's attention but that's an aspect of joseph which is so dominant in his life this aspect of of reaching high in every situation and bringing it down now you know i just want to take us through is that the um are we okay how are we doing that so far so good david you okay with it yeah you're good with that hey y'all so it's everyone's idea okay so it it let's see we could take a little deeper if we can i'd like to share with you something which is a a beautiful aspect i'm going to a little kabala at the moment okay if that's okay with everybody david that's okay with you [Music] okay i thought we'd go with you a little bit of kabbalah and it's about this so let me see i'm going to do it like this with everybody okay i'm going to just do a little bit of drawing here i'm going to see if we can take this vision of the reason i love this vision is because this opportunity in every situation we're in it's an opportunity to say how can i break out of myself and grab onto the deepest idea that i can and bring that down and when we do that we feel an enormous sense of satisfaction and again as you know if we if we look for practical ways it could be applied to so many situations controlling our anger judging people favorably um doing an act of khasid which is difficult for us um refraining from speaking lush and hard stopping people speaking left in heart you know um even if it's if it's focusing not to feel and saying i'm gonna work to concentrate even though it's difficult for me right now we're breaking above the natural we're going for the supernatural we're bringing it down and we elevate every we are we become elevated we receive that chain that charisma so to speak and coach barca loves it people love it about us we love it about ourselves and there's no better place to be in the world when you feel all three types of love right you love yourself people are like wow and uh he always loves us but he notices this about us especially again this is the meet of joseph joseph possesses this yeah david you have a question i'm sorry i judge you okay so let's just understand this a little deeper of how we do this and what this looks like a little bit what this looks like a little bit in the thought of of from the caballo from the arie and uh but it's it's a model that i think we can take with us and utilize and apply this in so many areas of our life and that's why i'm really sharing it with you okay so let's take a look for a second um piece of paper okay so if i'm just gonna write a word here this word did i read that what's that spell you see you have hey in the right order it doesn't look backwards right it looks correct so you'd hate me if we take the numerical value of good hey fluffy god's name is 10 hey it's five five is six is five is 26. but suppose we want to express god into the world especially into the world what does it mean to express his shove into the world that's what we're trying to achieve as jews how do we bring hashem out into the world in everything that we do whether we're in the business world whether we're in the world of learning we're in the world of relationships how do we bring hashem out into the world that's our job so if we were to just express hashem to the world and again this is just we're giving it you know the language of of thought at the moment how would i express the show in the world i would speak it i wouldn't just say you'd have a i would say i wouldn't just say ashab's name hashem would say each letter good hey love and hey let me write it out for a moment it would look like this okay if i expressed god into the world i took those four letters and i wrote them out you could write out letters also a letter is also a word hey love hey that's how it's spelled you'd have a now if i took the numerical value of that okay follow this good is ten dial to six so good is ten above is six valid is four that is ten plus six plus four is twenty a is five aleph is one that's six above is six aleph is one above is six that's 13. a is five aleph is one that's six again if i add that across twenty plus six is plus 13 is 39 plus 6 is 45. because that's the same numerical value of this word here everybody say that one adam so you have 45. okay it's like matt 45 expressing got into the world becomes 45 when we spell out yes is 45 what's the connection the morale here i guess the job of a human being in this world is to express god out to completely express god into the world as when we're fully human that's our job in this world that's what we shot trying for so adam this 45 is fits the aspect that god when expressed fully into the world with the yulet saying how the you day vape would be 45 because we were trying to achieve that we're trying to achieve the fullest expression of god into into the world now what does it mean to express god fully to the world so to do that let me just take it just a little deeper okay is anybody following me with me to do it a little deeper let's see there's three ways we express god with the world one of those three ways we can express god into the world through our thoughts we can express god into the world through our actions and we can express god into the world our inner world our feelings our emotions our inner work that we're doing ourselves and by the way these are the way that three patriarchs express god out of the world avraham expressed god into the world through action expressed god in the world by becoming in by becoming a shaolin in his inner world perfecting his his inner self so to speak and yaakov brought out the world through ms through truth by analyzing constantly using his mind what is the correct course of actionary situation so these are three expressions the way we began in the world through thought through the inner world that we create our emotions so to speak our inner feelings and through action so in hebrew we have three letters that symbolize both the yud in hebrew the say it the good always symbolizes the idea of thought why first of all is the smallest letter in the hebrew alphabet doesn't touch the top of the line doesn't touch the bottom line it just hangs there so to speak just like a thought a thought hangs where's the thought it doesn't tap to touch the bottom it just it hangs interestingly numerically it's ten so you know in mathematics 10 is called it's called a thought number cognitive number why because 0 through 9 have symbols they have digits natural numbers when you get to 10 you have to start using your mind to create it to one has to put together one and a zero it's called thought number for that reason it doesn't have a natural shape you have to use other shapes to create it in mathematics that's what's called cognitive number it's also interesting that the way we form the future tense in hebrew is always get to you because where do we see this by the way we see this in when it says in the turret it's pulling up the red sea at the creation of yashir and then he sang the song at the sea ozzy which means and then he will sing with the god so actually there it says in the spot it says is is the letter of thought why because where is the future the future person here future is only in thought so how beautiful the grammar is when you want to form the future tense in the third person masculine third person it always gets the yulet like for example yay shave he will sit ya roots he will run yield uh he will study you know whatever word you want you know you have yeah yeah bear he will speak yoma he said he will say excuse me the unit is always the first letter of the sort of the root of the future tense you know as seen by the third person form because they could put you something out into thought in the future it's interesting okay so you there's always the idea of of of of thinking that's why by the way and this is the word for a man in hebrew is an ish means a man because really where men live in terms of the spiritual world is in the world of the good it's in the world of thought that's why men put the film on top of their head because they're putting on top of the head is to reach up above ourselves and bring ideas down and have those ideas sort of permeate the entire being flow through our mouths both our hearts go through our entire body that's the straps so your does the the the villain so to speak is a vision of a man to go above himself bring ideas down and bring it through himself that's why men have more of a mess with the study torah than than women because a man has to engage in that aspect of reaching above himself and bringing and bringing wisdom down what's the letter for expressing an idea of the world in action it's the letter hey let's let it over here the letter hey is the idea of expressing an idea out into this world in fact it says that when god created the world says gracious but hey bahram which means in its creation however our sages break up that word and say when god created the world but hey bara he created it with the letter hey this world looks like the letter hey why is that is because the hey you know we know in the hebrew language that there are 22 letters in the alphabet however there are only seven shapes interesting only seven shapes so you know the seven shapes you have formal 22 letters interesting by the way the 22 divided by the ratio of 22 over 7 happens to be this number right here six 3.14567 i think it's like that which we know is this guy pi right jonathan gaba the the ratio of 22 by seven happens to be pi why because god creates a world circles so it makes sense that he gives us the formula to know the circumference of a circle within the mechanism that he used to create the world which is a hebrew alphabet okay just let me think of it so it's it's like love it between judaism and math so it says like this okay so the letter hey is really composed of two letters it's a dalid and a good now the letter dalits represents the physical world i'll explain you why first of all it's numerically four and there are four directions it's the first letter that starts going in four directions north south east west and what does it mean it means a doublet dallas means a delta delta is a door and this world as we know is a doorway to the next world you know this world is not the end this world is the beginning that's why a grave in hebrew is called a caver you rearrange those three letters kof date rache it's both poker boker tov good morning why because the graves in the end the grave is a new warning which is probably why in english the word morning and morning have the same phonetic sound even though they're spelled uh genetically they sound the same and they're spelled differently but it's not i don't believe it's a coincidence morning and morning because morning is really a morning it's a new morning kevin and joe's letters again by the way because so what happens is the body decays but the soul ascends to a new reality the grave is a doorway the next world this world is a doorway so to speak this world is not the end this world is a place to to to gain what we're going to have for eternity this world is is approved and it says okay about this world is the court is the doorway to the next world so this is very interesting uh a very interesting concept so what's the idea of a hay a hay is the idea of taking an idea of the yurt that's a good and expressing that you'd out into the physical world that's why god creates the world with a hey that has a symbol of this world a physical reality that contains a spiritual core an idea now that's that's a very deep vision expressing an idea out into the world is the act of question isn't just the idea of just i'm just going to do it no i have a deep vision but i want to make it real in the world by the way this is this word has a hey anybody read that word isha what does he shot me he shot me as a woman a man contains a good with no hay a woman has a hay but no good interesting because the vision really a spiritual point of view of a woman is again i'm talking in in um you know very abstract ideas obviously been possessed these ideas was those like this but but the deepest spiritual concept is is that a woman is like hey the idea of a hay is to take an idea and make it real in the world so the best we understand is through childbirth so to speak if a man supplies the good the seed sparked the idea a woman takes that spark and expresses that spark out of the world in the formation of a child that's the vision of a hey how do we take that idea and make it real in the world and that's the strength and the greatness of what women bring to the formula with the equation the table as a war so how do we make these ideas real in the world it's not enough just to to to think about the idea of shabbat shabbas we have to make the idea of shout outs from real in the world how can we express our home that speaks to it you know otherwise it's a very boring cold place so the combination of that yules so to speak in the physical world expressing it out is very much a female vision and and that's what god creates the world with the hay he wants that vision of the world by the way when you combine a good and hey together you get god's name right that's the beauty of marriage when you remove the and the hay you're left with these two letters al-shin al-shin which means fire h what happens when two fires come together it's uh configuration it's an explosion there has to be the uh there has to be the hay there has to be a vision how do we have a deep idea how we express it in the world we have to work in partnership and that idea is there then god is we bring in god is present that's where peace reigns you take god out take the good and the hay away it's this fire and fire destroys without purpose okay so that's the hey is the vision of expressing god out deeply into the world through action now what about the word the letter what's the letter that would express the idea of inner work of the silence of our own inner emotion that's driving us and trying to achieve perfection in ourselves for example when we're working inside ourselves and no one can see what we're doing the perfection of the feeling the perfection of judging somebody favorably you know this is all inner work that we're doing what letter symbolizes that that's the letter aleph let's say over here alef why is that well let's think alef how do we pronounce an aleph pronunciation is one of the tools we utilize to to analyze the letter i heard it jonathan very good alif is totally silent aleph is there's no sense members an unnatural letter you have to break out of the natural world in order to achieve aleph has no sound it's the idea of of what's hidden from the eye the idea of the connection to something deeply spiritual it's always the idea of a connection to the spiritual world whether it be hashem or the aspect of connecting to our own inner spiritual world the work we do on inside of ourselves the emotion that we're feeling the having the right the right um intention trying to work you know within ourselves to achieve perfection that's the vision of an aleph that's silence that's inside of ourselves so interesting what it means to express god out into the world fully the three ways we express god in the world we express god out through our thoughts ideas tara vision of of our idealism and expressing out and living living a life that has that good living that life of deep ideas and deep vision for what we're trying to achieve this we express god in the world we express that you and into the world through the hate through our actions our hustle our kindness the way we give out to others and there's the other aspect of the way we express hashem in the world when we work inside of ourselves and achieve that inner perfection again the silence that's going in our own mind and in our own hearts but we're working to achieve it and you know i'm using the idea of judging someone favorably as a as a prototype because no one sees it no one sees what we're doing but we're doing that hard work of of judging somebody favorably inside our minds and you know the silence of ourselves hey and alex those are the three ways we bring god into the world and again when we express god fully into the world we become really that complete autumn that complete 45 that often so let me show you something interesting where we reach above ourselves and we express what's above which is hashem we express them out of the world everything we do that's how we acquire that charisma and again joseph seems to do that in everything that he does he seems to do it with his with his the way he's perceiving the world the way he's actions the way he asks people about how are they doing spiritually where are you how you feeling do you look sad he's doing the inner working himself we probably all by the way have one aspect that we do better than the others there's the they're called the the shoresh the root of our own souls seems to be in one of these areas by the way you know whether we're like we like expression of the world we work better in thought or we work better in inner perfection one of them seems to be our dominant spiritual trait the other two we try to to to to help complete ourselves to try to perfect also one of them is our dominant trait but these three areas are the places where we're trying to bring hashem down into the world in the most complete possible way and when we do that we possess hashem gives this gift of where there's a light that shines through us that hashem notices people notice and we then we notice in ourselves and that's the most beautiful thing we can achieve and it's just you know we say the person is you know that's not what they're saying but we say it but even by the way kabbalah is called the wisdom of i don't think this is a simple idea study of kabbalah is called the study of the wisdom of even by the way the word which means education has that two-letter chain in there what's the real education of children it's bringing out from the child the ability to express himself deeply into the world that his personality should be such we can go above himself and bring him his vision of the world deeply down and and and and break out and and be that person he's supposed to be by reaching above and bringing it through that's real education not scoring not writing f some tests that's not education it's not memorizing um you know i don't know sailing ships of christopher columbus even though you should know it nina pinto santa maria okay but it it's um it's it that's real good let me show you something so beautiful this again this is the rv i'm going to show you so what's the word we're looking at is an eight is numerically is eight numerically is fifty we have fifty eight okay so just keep that number 58 there on your screen 58. now watch this remember if you want to express god completely the world we wrote out his name i don't express god how do i express god to the world well i do that just in a in this in a form of you know you know in a um i guess a mathematical form i would say a mathematical but you know in the thematic way i would say express god to the world by saying out his name not saying hashem but i would say the four names of his letter a fourth letters for the four words that correspond to the letters of his name hey hey so let me write that again for everybody okay i'm going to write the uid good love dalit i'm going to write the hey hey aleph i'll write the vav above aleph love and i'm going to write the hey at the end you'd have hey hey alef okay so god's name would look like that you'd hey and we added those letters together we got 45 with the same numerical value as of them as we spent it's also 45. we'll get the job of a man now you would have hey now this is we have to listen carefully for that we're even going to change colors so over here you and hey buffet the letter hey there are different ways to spell hay one way to spell hate is hey alex you'd also spell hey like this you spelled hey you'd you could spell it as hey hey okay you spell hay as hey good or hey hey or hell three ways in judaism to spell the letter hey what i chose to do with this example i spelled what it's normally spelled which is the haze with an olive you'd have and that comes to 45. however and this is from the re let's see if we can write hashem's name however where we s where we have the letters of we have all three letters of that hey okay this i'll write like this right again the good would say the same good solid we'll keep the next hay instead of writing in hell if i'm going to write it above stays the same aleph verb [Music] write the last hey hey okay so we have god's name good valve dalit instead of hey alex i'm going to write that as hey yours the lav is the same spelling as well and instead of the heial of heihei so now we have the hey we have all three god's name now we have all three letters that reflect how possible ways to write the hey what do i mean by that well in this hey i have the mud and they say i have the hay and the word vav i have the alf okay so i have the yud the aleph and the hay all three ways you write letter a in there now what have i done by that by the way well let's see i've added a urge so to speak what i've brought i've i've changed numerical value a little bit by writing out allowing the hague to be expressed in its different ways allowing the aleph involved to to remain as we always spelled hey before let's say we could take a numerical value now of this of god's name when we give all three possibilities to spell the letter a interesting let's take a look jude v dallad is 20. hey you'd now becomes instead of being 6 becomes 15. stays the same six plus one plus six is thirteen and hey hey instead of being a plus one to six hey hey becomes five plus five which is [Music] is when we reach above ourselves and we express hashem down into the world as deeply as we can go there are three ways to express god in the world you could do it in the good thought you do it in your inner quiet silent world with the aleph and of course you do it with the hay of of expression through action when one does that one expresses god into the world completely and one had that magnificent quality called like yosef possessed interesting how do you write god's name out now hey vodka we spilled the hay down with the years we put the other hay with a hay and we left the elephant above we have 20 plus 15 is 35 plus 13 is 35 is 48 plus 10 is 58. interesting 58. what's that so what we just did over here when we expressed god's name out of the world but we allowed the name to possess all three ways we expressed god's name out of the world through the good the idea to the aleph the silence of our own inner perfection our own inner world and the hey the letter of bringing thought out into action doing something the three ways we can express god into the world to reach above ourselves to bring it down we could bring it out to thought we could bring out throne in the world we could bring it out through action when we allow those letters to be part of god's name so to speak what does it come out numerically to 58 the same numerical value because what does it mean to express god deeply in the world that means to express god deeply in those three ways and when we do that we achieve that beautiful particles this is from the ari this is the reason one of my not that i know so many ares but this was when i heard this i was blown away by it and i utilized it because i think it's beautiful in structure and form and you know so the combat the expression through mathematics expression of gematria to to reveal deep philosophical insight but i think it's also very practical in other words what's practical about it because that's really the mission of the mission of jew is to develop and and what does it mean it means to be reaching above ourselves in every situation to say what is the idealism here what am i trying to achieve here and not to be afraid for it to go for it going to get the idea i'm going to bring it down to the noise all the way down whether it be an idea and have it and hold on to that idea and be focused on it and express it out to people or whether it be in my own inner world the silence inside myself i'm going to work on the right emotion here the right feeling again judging people favorably i use that as my my example or whether it be an action how can i go above myself and say what's the right action that i need to do here expression that you're down into the dollar today my example when i went into the rain you know and uh and and said why should another jewish guy go where i'll get what let me do it so when we we grab for that big idea and that that inner perfection and the right action we bring in as deep as we can to the world we have creed right we express god completely into the world and we're living really in the highest high level jews that was yesterday that's why his media was claimed everywhere he goes people notice them that plays he goes people are like where did you come from you're connected to someplace else like you know we're just like you know we're amazed by you that's right and and coach loves us and we love ourselves because we're living lives with the fullest expression bound into the world it's it's it's it's it's the uh it's the key to self-esteem to express god out into the world in the most deepest and fullest possible way and that's why when god's name is written out in its fullness utilizing the hey the two the three possible ways to spell that hey because remember hey is the letter of bringing something out into the world so i could bring something out of the world through my ideas through my my feelings into my actions so once hey is brought out when when all three aspects are expressed into the world in the three possible writings of the hey oh what a coincidence it happens to be god's numerical value is 58 the same numerical value because the fullest expression of god into this world and that's something we're able to achieve in every aspect of our lives you know to think about it every situation or what can i do to reach out for an idea and bring it down who needs my help right here the most you know how do i you know what's the idea i'm going to strive for right now what what's the feeling i should be going for where i am right you know and that work is is the work of of going ascending above and bringing down going above the head above ourselves and bringing it all the way down to the known to the deepest part of this world and when we do that we've achieved the meet of chain okay and joseph is the model for that that's why yo says meet his king yacht blesses him at the end of his life yes if you continue ukraine that's the other person and he also blesses people with that blessing because he loves that meter you know when you see he's been young for the first time first thing says my son you should have also bless you the ability to develop and faint is is something we have to work together we work together the god gives a gift but we have to do the hard work of reaching above ourselves and bringing down bringing that that vision down the vision of the youth bringing thoughts out of the world which are deep and real and beautiful getting the right internal perfection the right feeling the right emotion work inside our brains and everything we can to do what's right in the situation and of course expressing idea out of the action and making what really things real in the world we do that we express the fullness of god into the world and we achieve this beautiful concept and again the greeks translated the translated they translated as charisma which means christmas means charisma so the world thinks charisma is like you know something you just have or you don't have as jews that's not the perspective it's something we achieve when we break out of the physical reality we reach above for a spiritual reality and bring it down that's the way that's the jewish vision of and again i enjoy teaching this so much because i really believe this is such a practical concept to us the deep as it is and it's so thematically aligned and so visually expressive when you see the letters like lining up so beautifully like that but this is something to think about to bring into our lives and i think when we do we live our lives a lot more feeling a lot more more fulfillment okay everybody they will stop over here wishing you a wonderful day and wonderful the rest of your week and um mr sham you're looking forward to uh continuing next week we'll see each other on tuesday at 12. as we always say if it's tuesday it must be lunch tomorrow okay thank you everybody [Music] you
