Rabbi Yom Tov Practical Spirituality: G-D is a Verb!!

Simon welcome to a practical spirituality here at mishit or in the Old City of Jerusalem over looking the Temple Mount today we're talking about God as a verb because you know we have no idea what God is and because it's beyond space and time and our minds don't travel too well beyond space and my analysts we're on psychedelic drugs or something we we don't really get that much access to beyond space and time so the so we don't know what God is and and certainly God doesn't have any names you know there's there's no name for God that's why one of the best words for God is the word God because you know there's seats up here seats there the word God means absolutely nothing and and literally the word God means absolutely nothing because the only thing that is absolutely nothing is whatever precedes the world of something and so God's name means absolutely nothing I'm glad you thought that was profound everyone else the room besides my regular students are like so God's name means absolutely nothing literally absolutely nothing because the only thing time there was ever absolutely nothing was before there was something and so therefore that's what we we use the word God to be a symbol to of that which our mind could never think of because your mind can't think of absolutely nothing nevertheless there are lots of names of God in Hebrew and all those names are verbs they're just action words because because the names of God are how God chose to create this world and we know these names in order to know how to relate to God and you know you have a name too what's your name nice lady Bayless so we have a name to refer to you and and that's helpful and so there's a reference to you but like if we put you in an MRI would there be on the screen the word Beyla like a million times not even one time because you're not Beyla it's a name used to refer to you and it's helpful but it doesn't tell us much about your essence Hebrew names do actually tell of the essence our sages say that when you give a name to a child it's one of the last three forms of prophecy not that the parents know what they're doing they're just naming the child but there's a certain prophetic nature to naming a child let me make a broth of both I've taught they know in a minute we love shikaku and so the other two forms of prophecy besides naming a child or our insane people have they're tapped into that which is kind of funny because if you think about it we're all stuck inside an illusion prophets are cutting out of the illusion to get in touch with reality so we call it the insane people are the ones who were actually in touch with some reality you know a little bit of the reality we're in touch with none of it so we're called sane they're in touch with some of it so they're called insane go figure that out how did they wind up with the word insane but but it does underline the fact that we that those of us who want God to talk to us you know you know there's always that person of the kotel saying oh god if you're there please you know just say something you know they don't realize that that's not gonna be good for you yeah you're gonna be brushing your teeth on your forehead you know after that yeah you're just not gonna do so high we have places for people who God talks to okay so so even though there's people like wishing God would speak to them it's not a good idea you know you're gonna be super super careful with with these kind of things and anyway anyway God's essence has no name but all the names are verbs and we use these names a lot so it's important we understand them and that's what we're gonna do today is we're going to understand the names that we use maybe we'll dabble into some names we don't use so much we'll see how that goes okay yes sir the last what oh sorry yeah yeah you can sit right there that's a nice spot so the forms of props oh the last former prophesy is his children before they're three have but God doesn't let them speak much and the younger they are the more connected they are to the prophecy there's still a seat right there for you that's for you is that an Essene is it yeah there's a seat right there thought maybe I was hallucinating he just doesn't look at it okay so I feel like there's one more the Tom have listed for prophecy whatever naming children and therefore if you have a Hebrew name and I suggest it one has one when you have a Hebrew name it kind of tells you something about you it may tell you your test or may tell you your proclivities some people's names like for example there's people who are named simcha which means joy who have a tremendous test tremendous test with joy III knew a guy named some clothes very depressed guy and it wasn't really rough being named Simba and you imagine when you're depressing everyone's saying happiness too mine's not mines pretty rough - my name is Yom Tov you know a good day yeah what if it's not a name change so but but my name goes really well with me I'm generally having a good day but it took me a few years to get there and not to mention reading the book that saved my life which I really think everyone on the whole planet should read and it takes an hour but it literally saved my life it was called you can be happy no matter what by Richard Carlson you can be happy no matter what when you if you order it on Amazon order 10 copies because you're just gonna be happy to hand it out to everybody because it's really a life saver anyway and then so there are people are tested by their lives and then there's people who that is their proclivity with the Hebrew name and when a parent names their child their Hebrew name they're just kind of winging it but but there's something about it and there's heavy stuff with names we don't mess with names and there are people critically ill like right now and you guys can all say this name we add it and we do add names when someone's critically ill so you guys want to try a name just of one of our dear Ashrama is who who had some setbacks he's doing better than him but we're still majorly praying for him he's in rehab and stuff his name is Joseph that was the ad Joseph Ellie Miller Ben Yehuda so okay and that's adding names now God's names so we're gonna go through some names let's see if I got any pins here anyone seen any markers around a couple names we're gonna start with I'm gonna use a lot of spaces between letters just to make room for as if there was a letter there just because it's just because it's you're not allowed to erase certain names we're putting a space so the upper line upper line represents the spiritual and the lower line represents the physical okay and this is the and we pronounce this name we pronounce this name like this and I'm gonna put oil like that because it's an actual oil and so you'll meet people who will say nah you know cuz they just didn't learn it properly or their family said it that way but it's not it's uh cuz the underneath the there's a possum known if it were I've sorry Komets if it were passed out just a - then it would be nice because it's a coments it's annoy okay and in that name of God also very important too because if you if you anyone here go to combine houses when they're so so sometimes they'll say addy instead of outdoor its outdoor though and sometimes they'll say deer but not all them like my reason was that a menu with the hedonic leading I was saying outdoor and I went up to his it you say it's so good for a slotnick he says that's right because I fixed it so I could say right but there's certain groups that'll say how about one of those that'll say odd there and then noise so it's but it's outdoor so hold them there clear no I'm not saying they should switch necessarily but this we talked about last week as tradition also means a lot so when there's a tradition coming down the line so then it's a different but you'll notice that even people who like for example we know the ammonites have the most accurate hero because they were 2,500 year time capsule in Yemen and so when he was there are people when they say Shama because there you have a Torah commandment to say those words from Isis or L so there are people who will pronounce that like a Yemenite even though that's not their tradition and they keep their tradition they do everything wrong not like Yemenites and but when it comes to Shama and now I'm doing a tour commandant well how did they say Shama so the Dalit of the of Akkad for example becomes a soft Dalek something odd and it's whatever they're more careful with these these things because they're doing a torque ma'am and they want to get it done right and so the best we've got is the Yemenites for proper Hebrew pronunciation yeah she's all excited cuz she's Yemen and apparently which sides Yemen on your father your mother dead which is the tradition tradition comes through the Father Judaism through the mother traditions through the phone yeah it's a slippery slope for going tradition in general you don't want to mess around with tradition too much probably just cuz it's a slippery slope yeah you you stop doing this and you stop doing that and he's not finished not doing that cuz cuz traditions aren't true they're just traditions so what happens if you're already starting to off the stuff that's not really true I mean it's not really in the Talmud it's not stuff that our sages said but it's just your family's way of like cutting off the ends of a challah they don't eat the end of the challah you know they're afraid it will cause forgetfulness or something so if you know if you start lopping off everything that that isn't really toward true in your tradition you're gonna wind up with no real tradition from your family use the traditions of your family it's nice to distinguish them maybe for your children so they don't one day say why you feeding me this malarkey you know that some gigantic fat man is coming down a chimney you know like what else do you saying that's not true you know so the so it might be good to distinguish that for your children that we have this tradition even though it's not necessarily going all the way back to our sages you know so we can so we can we don't have to do that yeah you just didn't you differentiate it if it's really superstitious like like if they say something Bad's gonna happen to you that's superstitious I suppose and if it's just this is the way we do it then that's tradition yeah so anyway but I like walking under ladders I think I think because we have a tour commandment and that it's forbidden to be superstitious did you know that one of the 613 prohibits superstition it's really weird you know because some of our true some people you know for example Sephardic people are much more superstitious than Ashkenazic people but they've also been hanging out in Islamic countries Islamic people are very superstitious Ashkenazi people are not very superstitious hope you guys enjoyed your soundbite go go enjoy so Ashkenazic people are not very superstitious but they got them - I also got superstitions so anyway but anything that's a custom in your family isn't necessarily superstition and there's certain things that are as superstitions and you you definitely want to cut with that is worth cutting with cut with the superstition because we have a separate commandment no superstition because it's a support of superstitions Cummings pig superstitions are pagan things and they they may even be true but your jobs just spend the day walking under ladders like just find every construction site and walk under their ladders as a proud you saying I'm breaking superstition and I'm gonna walk under those ladders and step on the cracks pavement okay anyway that's God's name like that and and we'll get into it a little bit in order to do several names we're not gonna get into too much but it starts with obviously another name of God which is the you than the hey and you'd in the hey like when you say for example to praise God is hallelu and then they your than the hey I'll let Louie yup which is the name of God so so it's made already of a name and it's got its full name so it's a name and then it's the phoning which is newer than the hey in the love and the hey the utin the hey represent represent the upper unity of God cuz God's totally won but down here he's like broken up into chairs and tables and jackets and sweaters and people in and all this stuff meaning God gets broken up into the physical world and that's why we say at the end of Elena Lucia Beck we say by Yamaha who when Messiah comes not only will God be one above but his the whole thing will be one meaning even where the where the world breaks down his name into the world of multiplicity will become one with God so the whole name is God being totally one this part sorry but that will only be at the end of days in Messiah times and Adam and Eve lived that way when before Adam and Eve a from the fruit they lived with God's named one meaning their physical environment was translucent like your fingernails are translucent they saw through it they saw the net you see the nails you see have nails but you don't also kind of see through the nails so so to the physical world that Adam and Eve lived in was an it was a world where you would inhale of and here were one now they ate from the fruit when they from the fruit now suddenly they could distinguish things now obviously it's talking about a it's talking they're the distinguishing between good and evil because they from the tree of the distinction between good and evil that good and evil really is here is an archetype of all distinction you get that like when you live where everything's of God so there's no there's no real distinction so the distinction between good and evil is really the archetype of distinction in general and that's how you know anything by the way because like when you were a little infant looking around the world like this after the birth you didn't know nothing everything was one in a way for you but what happens eventually you realized there's a dad and there's a mom dad keeps throwing me up and down yeah mom's got the goods and and you know and you start to get distinguish grass from pavement because grass is not painful when you fall pavement is start distinguishing gravity when you've enrolled off the couch you know you're slowly developing distinctions then you they send you to school which further distinguishes things like numbers and words and and then they and then eventually someone could get a PhD where they you know years later where they're now giving very fine distinctions in a particular field because they're gonna want you to have distinguished one thing deeply distinguished one thing and so this was the tree Adam and Eve ate from interestingly we that's the world of multiplicity of distinction but but all those distinctions are coming really out of this oneness which is Hashem's name being one and which we will get to please gone someday but we do remind ourselves of it every week when we use a multi wick candle and Havdalah that burns into one and what do we look at in the multi wood candle our fingernails to which are translucent to remind us that we're that we came from it before the eating of the fruit and Garden of Eden and we're going to it in the end of days that were going back to this biome ha whoo yeah a sham a HUD Oh down below in this world because this world is all made of his name the whole world's made of names like their with their no names no work and the whole world's made of God's names and that's why it's you know so it's also verbs and nouns but they're not nouns for God they're nouns for our world meaning that everything's made of those names and so but those names are broken up into all the details of the world if I can give you this as a background thing to think about during the class that that what we're doing right now is Jewish theology this is not something that atheists mess with okay they don't mess with this stuff you understand all the atheist sam harris or or all the famous guys or dawkins or was that guy's name the paraplegic physicists hawkins they they don't they don't know the first thing about anything I'm saying right now nothing like zero so you should just have in mind that whenever these highfalutin or what I call them the high priests of secularism atheists are talking the holes they poke in God are always Christian theology holes you understand so therefore as a Jew like a Jew never hangs his lifestyle on on geniuses poking holes in theology that you hardly need to be a genius to focal holy okay we don't need a genius to do that so so the so here we're talking about actual Jewish theology which no one messes with here you just have to know a lot to mess with this stuff and so now I'm not saying they wouldn't try maybe they try but it would take them years of study to get to the point where they can have a have a intellectual conversation in Jewish theology because it really takes some time to get to that point and if any of them get to that point maybe then we could have a discussion there's something else I was gonna say oh yes just the science thing we were just talking about ism is just there's something that you probably don't realize that in Gentile theology throughout a Gentile history with God God when you don't know science like if you don't understand your environment so all those questions you there's God so we don't need an answer cuz the answer is God if you don't understand gravity and you don't understand the star systems and you don't understand all these things well I don't understand all that stuff so so here we got two seats right here ladies so I don't understand any of this stuff so God God and so what happens now Jews tell me is the Jewish theology based on the fact that we don't understand anything is that why we have our theology because we don't understand anything not even at all not even a little nothing zero none of our theology has to do with us lacking understanding now there's plenty of lack of understanding even to this day there's tons of lack of understanding that has nothing to do with why we have our theology our theology is part of a prophetic line whatever happened at Sinai you know all that stuff ever since then we've had this theology and the is nothing to do with answering questions with the word God for every question I have that is not it so what happens in the jet what happened in the Western civilization when the Scientific Revolution hit and all of a sudden a are describing things with formulas and proofs and understanding and you know what I mean when they started to really get the galaxies in the solar system and all that stuff what happens when you do understand stuff what happens what do you get rid of God you get rid of God cuz we don't need God to explain it we explained it and once again you'll find Jews who actually believed that the understanding of science is somehow in conflict with God when really the Jewish perspective when it comes to theology is that I'm sorry that when it comes to Jewish theologians our perspective of science we love science for so we're crazy about science why because science shows the perfection the precision the efficacy of God it just the math works out there and it's just the more science you know the more you get him all of the creator' cuz God was never there to fill empty blanks that was not where our theology came from that was the Gentile theology was to fill up those empty blanks so therefore knowing science is in conflict with God whereas for us knowing science shows the how gorgeous God is because now we see we can see the detail that of gods we see the detail of God's world one last seat right there if you want it okay now everybody one question what's your name right i Branham young to take care of it my question is at what point does do we start filling in the gaps of like oh that's what science has all the truths been saying that all along and we're just jumping to say oh well that's we've been saying the whole time like where like where is it it's just like blowing smoke around you know what I mean what's that saying I guess that I mean that's we're uh nothing my question remains okay so yeah so the art we've been even though we're amazing at science sisters we're also pretty lousy at it if you don't ever tell us go you're gonna have very limited science going on with the cosmos you understand so on the one hand we have great stuff you know like obviously you know when you're looking entitlement do you anyone know when calculus was created anyone know the history of math calculus was discovered something like that sixteen hundred somewhere around there so I could show you a page in Talmud that's only understandable with calculus and we know the common dates back already to the destruction of the first temple which is two second to those two thousand years ago and you need calculus to understand that stuff so on the one end we're amazing at it we also you know NASA spent however many millions of dollars and years to figure out the exact lunar cycle which is super important to us in today's the new moon by the way so happy month here help you code dish thunder stove but they but we really need that lunar cycle perfect and even with NASA's no after the millions they spent in the time they spent they missed it by like you know as point zero they're there whatever numbers a bunch of numbers so they missed it by one of these like fractional numbers and actually recur ected when we when i guess some jews told them that we were a little we think you're a little off and they calculated it and found out that we were right how do we know that and we've known this forever like we've known a really long time so i'm one enter science is good the other hand our science is lousy because we haven't had any of the materials necessary to have great science and the rabbi's go with science not with dogma so that our tradition is if the science shifts like we suddenly get a new understanding we go with that in almost every service I'm sure there's anonymous anomalies where we don't go with it but when science develops a greater understanding or something that's where we go with because we're never claiming to be scientists never claiming that they're but we do have traditions and we have had geniuses who figured a lot of stuff out so we're good and we're bad at science okay now you're you represents oh sorry this name represents the ten sphero's now that's gonna be really hard to explain to you guys on one foot but it represents the ten sphero's so the urine is hokhmah the hey is bina the bub is is has a good word to Ferris net sub-code me sowed and then the final hey is marvelous so those are that those are the ten Spheeris although if you really heard me say that it really was nine because I didn't knew Dawson and discussed us but that's Hoffmann bina kasih Cornett so you saw it in mousers those are the ten spheres so when you're saying the name of God those who have studied how God these ten beams that got beams in creation so if you understand those ten beams and you start saying God's name slowly and carefully you can actually go run through the whole ten Sphere us while you're doing it we don't need to be worried so much about that right now when we use this name of God is what we're mainly doing is we're having it find that this is the this is a God beyond space and time that's one thing beyond space and time it's also God as projector right here that's God as projector and and it's also God is causer so this is a male it's a male named all mysticism has caused her and receiver in every mystical cognition the physical also only asked male and female if you look around the room and that's all we offer his male and female and but it's literally all that's all there is not only in the people in the room that's all there is in the fabric and your clothing that's woven together and the buttons on my sweater and and the what's screwed your tables together and the hinges on the windows in the door and there's nothing you're gonna be looking at in your entire life that's not gonna be either male or female I think that's all you'll ever see is its male and female and so you know creations get mixed up when people get mixed up like we don't feel yeah that means our creations getting mixed up which happened at the time of the flood it says that that the whole creation was getting mixed up yes go so far as to say that the two by twos that went into Noah's Ark the two by twos were only the species that didn't enter mate there were actually in term ating species things got so confused that even species were interacting with each other and they were not allowed on the boat and there was there was a guard of the boat just kidding I think those animals just didn't hear the call they had lost their intuition intent so okay so this is also gone as causer and it's also um next dismissal blood yeah there's also master and that's why we use the term what's a nut dome it's a master and that's the term we actually use we're not allowed to say this word this words one of the ineffable it's said we have words were allowed to say we haven't words were not allowed us names we're labs named names from Nala his name we're never allowed to say oh you are allowed to say that you wouldn't the hey like we said before after at the end of halle-loo you're allowed to say that but uh but putting it all together it's one of the ineffable names this is a super high name and we're not allowed to mess with it not allowed to say it no pronouncing it whatsoever in the and now there is a question where the Kohanim allowed to say it my sense is they would have been cuz they're allowed to the high priest was allowed to say the 72 letter name he's certainly allowed to say this when I imagine but you know I never never studied it so I don't want to say with any authority of whether they were but I my sense is that they were allowed to say this name anyway but it's also master and and and then it also the beyond space of time is that how it's made up because it's made up of these letters which are the make up of the words of the words was is and and will be which is hai-yah ovett and yet was is and will be hey was ism will be and the so these three names represent God beyond space and time meaning these three makers or was is and will be our beyond space and time and the you know hey and above the hey when we say that name were to have in mind something totally outside this physicality something beyond the physical good so start singing it much slower please when you say it it slow down now because that's a lot to be dealing with when you're saying the name and so many people just send it out and I blew it on my water I didn't I don't think I had even one of those mind not even one of them when I made my blessing in the water so like I I well I lost that opportunity so maybe my after blessing I can have it in mind you definitely want to at least once a day twice a day if not all day having in mind in my shul when I went to my show the first time when people would leave the shul it's after three hours of our ecstatic prayers I'm part of an ecstatic prayer group with hundreds of men who do ecstatic prayer together it's really something and the anyway when I first got to the shul 26 years ago they we used to have a quart of three at the end of the synagogue we had to have a quart of three uh necks communicate you for having used this name without thinking about what you were saying meaning meaning on a Kabbalistic level like you get ex spiritually excommunicated for blowing this name by saying it without thinking about it so so we actually have a cord at the end of every minion and people and in the court would say to you motor la mochila mucho la 3 times to let you know that you're back and you're back in like it Rica Munich eights you to the spiritually so you know what since I did that on my water we might as well try it okay I get three shomer Shabbos men in the room and you raise your hand if your Stromer Shabbos a male okay phase three look great okay can you guys give me three much relaxed please together you're gonna say what you like much i from atop clean can you three save for the room save for everybody feels so much better but these days 26 years later no one's doing that anymore it's like maybe the Rebbe will sometimes ask three people to do and he's he's pulled me in to do it like he's the Rebbe awesome he's the last one even thinks about such stuff but what is really important for all of us is to is to meditate on the name of God trying the mornings once a day just meditate on the name of God you don't say anything just meditate on it and and learn the ten sphero's i have a lot of stuff online teaching the ten screws and details so look those up okay next name next name we're gonna do and I'm gonna do a little pictorial for it imagine this is the whole space-time continuum here this is the whole expanding universe okay so our our earth is let's say these are this is our galaxy inside that dot is our solar system and inside that dots are earth and inside that dots are us in Jerusalem okay this is that dots just the galaxies the whole Milky Way of our galaxy okay and it's the expanding universe now I'm gonna draw you inside you're not to scale obviously there you are inside there and you're in kind of a weird pose here but um I know that's you inside there and and this name you didn't hey above and man well let's go a little further what we're gonna do is we're gonna make these squiggly lines represent the year than the hand above and they're okay but they're not just the using the hand above and hey they're just the infinite God which is beyond finite you know what I love the name infinite cuz if it's truly infinite where does it also have to be in finite meaning if it's unlimited by space and time well this picture limited it do you see what happened like there's one of the most amazing things everyone I know how much science people are here but but people don't ever sit and contemplate that once you start talking infinite you're automatically saying that this world's an illusion because if it's truly if there truly is an infinite that means that this physical world would be a subset or subordinate or projection of that infinite because if the infinite what's the definition of infinite whether it's a mathematical one it's like if I count one two three four mathematically it'll go infinite till infinity you know I'll just keep going that's the mathematical engineer but then there's the philosophical infinite which also in the dictionary which means unlimited by space and time right now we've limited the unlimited yet in knowledge isn't talking about in our reading the world we apprehend automatically limits it to outside our world because I can't obviously apprehend the infinite and so therefore I can't help but be a how do you say Cofer in English a a heretic heretics someone who says there's no God we're all heretics ultimately because because we can't help but put God outside reality and this is why women by the way are less heretical the Minotaur today they're just as heretical as murder but but not obviously women who are connected to tradition they're and they're still connected but but today I'm sorry men are always pretty heretic --all we don't have a very strong gene for this kind of stuff in this for for recognizing God in the world and that's why we have to Finland we put a black box with God's name right over this hole where the baby's soft spot in which is called the fontanel which I like that's kind of English and Hebrew together the fountain of God fun to know so we put we put the fountain we put the black box over the fontanel and the fountain of God which where's that sit it sits on the neurons the neurons are atheist because your neurons automatically you can't help you put God outside you can't help but limit God to outside creation which is not heretic actually you know what it is it's religious meaning religions generally religions out there not all of them but some religions are pagan but there's religions that believe there's one God you ever heard of that like Christians there's not they all believe there's one God yeah so that's religion religion believes in one God Judaism does not believe in one God Judaism believes that this infinite being is also where in finite in finite which is not that belief in one God because believe in one God is you're here it's out there where is the true hardcore meaning that softcore monotheism hardcore monotheism ISM to believe in one God that there's one God just comes naturally but rather Judaism is the belief that God is one now watch what happens here can you hit the light switch please top button just touch it once I just decided to like play with the contrast cuz think about if we could get it pitch black in here you'd be in the oneness but I can't get a pitch black cuz we have Windows here anyway but this is in turn back on this is hardcore monotheism and there's something amazing that only religions talk about the one God you know in there and they're obviously uh you know they're obviously pretty vicious about it cuz cuz once you start making stuff up then you got a defendant you know how it is when you're things and that's not quite true you get more aggressive than the person you're arguing with they generally if you know you're talking about something true you'd state chill when you're already defending something that's not really a real position but it's a made-up position so outcome machetes and you know and witch trials and you name it you know they're gonna start they're gonna start enforcing things on us whereas in Judaism Judaism is what's called hardcore monotheism it's not the belief that there's one God it's the belief that God is one indivisible oneness undifferentiated oneness absolute oneness and that requires absolutely zero enforcement why because well think about it if it's before space and time that means it's not made of nothing well like how you know how aggressive do you gotta get defending nothing aggression would never come into the picture like you're just never ever ever pushing your religion on anyone if you're not into religion because we're not into religion we're not pushing Dogma we're not pushing our deep man-made ideas and trying to get everyone to cower underneath our power but rather we're talking about it being that's not made of anything so it certainly doesn't require you to get it too excited about it when someone denies its existence and and and it's like The Truman Show you know you guys all think you're indoors right now and out these windows as outdoors not exactly this is indoors that's indoor you've never been outdoors because you've always been somehow inside your insight you've never been outside 'add which is super cool too cuz now you don't have to be so fearful I mean I know your parents probably all protected you and you're probably afraid of just literally everything I I lucked out that I had zero protection growing up and thank God like the nearest pedophile they're probably like 10 zip goes away from our super rich community so me like I was I was protected by the Creator in a area that where there just was no crime or weirdos but the but it really allowed me so much in my life and therefore be really careful not to be too careful with your children can protect them from weirdos but otherwise let them get just get let them get bumps and bruises and let them get scraped up a bit and learned the contours of reality so that they have some courage later when they have to make a living or or they have to have a child or it's time to get married like they should be courageous people you're the only way to create courageous children is to let the world push back on them a bit and the only way to have the world push back is you kind of push you gotta push you push a bit it'll push back and you start to get to know that where you live and you now you have real courage as opposed to just being full of anxiety all the time so be careful not to helicopter parent your children don't be a hovercraft but but super vigilant from weirdos cuz it seems that I don't know what it is it seems like there's more weirdos than when I grew up you know weirdos seem to be a dime a dozen these days then again it could be maybe the observant community has more weirdos because because there's you can generally find a correlation between there's generally a correlation between extreme positions and and weird stuff going on like when people get start getting extreme positions that's generally where you find the weird and so it could be that that that we have a larger share of weirdos hanging around the observant community and it also doesn't help media it's good that there's that people have to be sexually chaste till marriage in Judaism that's a very very good thing but it doesn't mean it doesn't have its fallout of having a strange expression you might have some strange expression in the way of might get expressed in our generation now obviously we should have wrote we should all be rolling back the age of marriage you know I understand but you know in the 1950s 60s they moved marriage age up to eighteen nineteen twenty lit fish in twenty twenty-one twenty-two twenty-three I know they moved it up but they should definitely be reeling it back down in this generation because there's no there's anyone staying single that late it's gonna get themselves in some trouble either that or they're gonna be acting you know they're just it's they're gonna be inappropriately forcing themselves into chastity a meaning being good for too long it's also not healthy and God did not create our bodies and their bodies urges for not to be expressed they are supposed to be expressed just they're supposed to be expressed appropriately and since we're living in this like deprive them I mean for sure in my lifetime the most extremely sexual time ever but since we're living in an extremely sexual time so then we have to be much more cognizant much more cognizant of of what Torah tradition for thousands of years had to be the age of marriage which was young not older and so we we should really be reeling it reeling it on back to younger ages so that so that people can can be normal because that's not that that's not the place that's not the place where people should be acting out because they things get things go sideways quickly when people act out sexually things don't go well there at all like that's that's good that stuff can affect someone for their whole lifetime and I do meet people in their 30s 40s 50s 60s who who never were able to quite get themselves back together from from a natural into a natural approach to sexuality as we have it now it's quite unnatural the way it's set up so and this all can be remedied just by reeling back the age to a younger age for marriage yes sir what's the connection the the mids folk are the Mitzvahed our instructional and the mystical 's the mystical side is what it actually does you understand meaning you have a Mitzvah let's say so you have to put on tefillin right that's one of your mitzvahs so that's instructional your job is to put on these black boxes no mysticism is what do the black boxes actually do so if you look into like a hyperlink the Torah says to put total votes you click on the hyperlink takes you to law the law explains how to make the black boxes where to put them on and stuff you click again on everything of those little laws you get you know all the detailed loss of tefillin every one of those has a mystical reality to it even how you write a letter every letter has to start with you it because that's the point of creation you're just a point of creation so when you're creating with letters which are really digits whole world's made this whole world's made of the letters so you win a scribe when he writes a letter you always starts with the hood that's a little law mystical tradition about that law so it's a double every word in the turret comes with a double click one click is how do I do this that's its Mitzvah and the other click is why do I do it how and why which in in Hebrew is la ma like Spanish ok and then lemma llama porque what for so everything has a map and a llama for what and sadly you know if I already ranting on sexuality I'll rant on the others - is thank you I'm sadly the way our system is set up in study is people only learn what no one learns why you know they no one's studying the whys now there are some people study the whys but very few people study otherwise how many people really study them wise it's all what what what what what what what you know you imagine me being married to my wife and only doing what she wants and what she doesn't want like avoiding what she doesn't want and doing what she does want give me tonight without without really getting in touch with her and why you know what does that mean what does that mean what does that mean what is happy wears when I'm in touch with why why all of this so then it's like it's amazing you mention you mentioned me just following instructions and never saying I love you to my spouse are you men just saying I love you and never following instructions meaning never doing you know doing exactly what you doesn't want and never doing what she does want you know ki imagine and then telling her I love her is that going anywhere when I say I love you is gonna mean anything to her won't mean anything so therefore you have to have Mitzvahs do's and don'ts but you also have to have the intimacy of it what's what's going on here what is this all about what are the what's but that's the Lama that's the why but I wait you guys anyone here ever studied in your shiva's anyone here's studied in your Shiva's yeah how much of the study Seder from 9:00 to 7:00 at night what's been on y0 excellent so and hence you can wind up in a relationship where it's not a relationship because would you call me being in a relation of my wife if I only know what she wants and doesn't want that's not a relationship so so now you wind up with thousands of thousand thousand kids who have no idea they have no idea of their relationship they only know what to do and what not to do and and you ready for this I'd even bring this up there's a whole study there's a study of God just like you'll get you're gonna study your spouse for all their inner essence so there's study of God which is beyond the mitzvahs now you're studying the secrets of who God is as if you could ever know you can never know but how he runs creation how we create how we create it that's called massive voracious how runs creation that's called massive merkava and no one ever studies this stuff so like so like did you do the mitzvot when you did it I'm wondering if you kept the instructions but you didn't even understand the slightest bit about the being that you're doing it for or for whom or why you're doing it if you don't understand any of that stuff did you do a mitzvah or did you just dot i's and cross T's and I was so naive I was so naive when I sent my send to ask acidity Shiva I was like oh finally they're gonna teach him huh see dude which is all about the whys so he comes back his first day and I couldn't wait for him to get home and sit down with them like so tell me like which he's going to a Hasidic you see were Hasidic like don't I get don't I get a Hasidic you know consider gamma so he comes home sit down at dinner tonight so tell us about all the Hasidic learning you did to it said that was not in the schedule like there's zero scheduled Hasidic learning in ours in the entire schedule so I naively called the Dean of the school and I said I'm sending my kid to a Hasidic school and you don't teach hussy dude like when's the casino park and and he was just like you know earth to Yom Tov what is wrong with you young too so anyway I think we're a bit over time so we didn't get much past that your than the hand above the head I'd only have like I only have about about 500 hours on the names of God so I hope you'll be around this year and we'll just slowly move through each name of God I'm kidding we're not gonna do that but at least we got one of the names pretty in there pretty in there and you know let's let's do it okay Shalom everyone it was a pleasure
