The Golden Calf and The Erev Rav - Parashat Ki Tisa

can you just think for a second of any equation that you could say to you know what killing this baby would be a good thing for the world you can't think of it right because you're relatively normal people now what if I told you that Adolf Hitler was also a baby and before he became Adolf Hitler he was just ate off the little cute little baby because all babies are cute even if they're ugly they're still cute because they're little thank God they're cute so you don't kill them because they cry all the time but they're cute so he was cute and he was a baby and he got sick so his mom Mrs Adolf she took him to to his doctor a Jewish doctor last minute saved his life now if you were the doctor you were the doctor any of you were the doctor thank you excuse me if any of you were the doctor and you saw a baby and you have a chance to kill it would you kill it no right now what if I told you this baby is gonna become Adolf Hitler is going to kill six million of your brothers and sisters including you would you kill it yes you kill it right you kill it you're still not going to kill it you're gonna let him kill six million people change maybe ah changing I'm telling you he's definitely killing no changes he's killing he said he's got the knife already in his pocket we're playing hypothetical guys play along with me don't make a new equation this is my comic book not yours this kid is going to kill you're gonna kill him or not you're gonna kill him you're gonna kill him you're all normal Mendy you with me you can't kill the kid but he's gonna kill six million people Mandy knows a little to us so he gave us a Torah answer I no okay logically we could say it's right logically we could say wrong you can fight for both sides the Torah says otherwise TOA says that at the time of me time who saw that one of the most evil things that the Nazis even outdid the the Egyptians even outdid the Nazis was with what they did to babies skin disease so his necromancers told him that in order for him to get cured he had to bathe in the blood of 150 babies in the morning and 150 babies at night so every day it killed 300 Jewish babies if that wasn't enough these evil Egyptians would force the Jews to meet a certain quota of how many rocks how many bricks they made and if the guy didn't if the Jew did not meet that Israelite did not meet the quota instead of putting the Brick in the Wall they'd put the baby in the Wall Alive saw this he saw the little babies little Israelite babies going inside a wall I mean it's just think about it you want to die he couldn't take it he couldn't take it and he said I know you know I know everything but please please Hashem let me save this baby what the baby do what the baby do says you get upset with him you question why you do what I do these are evilness but if you want to save one save one at a moment of passion that he wanted to do the good thing guess what he saved the baby he took a baby he was already inside the wall he took the baby saved the baby and he named the baby Miha after what was supposed to happen to him which is limach we were supposed to get crushed as Baby by the Stones so he saved them right before they crossed them now from that moment on that baby grew up and followed everywhere now what does I'm saying he's an evilness what the baby look like cute nashama cute little kid right and the kid learns Aleppo oh everybody's cute well as you would have it we go to Egypt fast forward to the 10 plagues fast forward we go to Mount Sinai fast forward get the first two Commandments says listen every time Hashem talks we die Hashem said the first commandment Allah died Hashem resurrected them brought them back to life said the second commandment they couldn't handle it they died literally died Hashem resurrected them then you go talk to him lest we die well if because if he talks again we're gonna die again you've got to talk to him we're gonna do and then we'll listen meaning you go talk to him then come back to us tell us what to do and then we'll uh we'll figure things out but we can't hear his voice anymore why every time Hashem talks it's so holy we can't handle it our nashama leaves our body says that every time he would talk the national would leave the body and then Hashem would send a special beautiful smelling do that would bring back their National mind to their body Something Beautiful anyway now goes to Mount Sinai he says Tom Islam I'm going there for 40 days 40 nights miscalculates calculates by six hours six hours they think that much was supposed to come back at 12 and he comes back at six now during those 12 six hours to them it's like a lifetime he's been he's been gone for 40 days they think he's supposed to come so now since they have doubt the Satan comes anytime you have doubt in Hashem you're giving an opening to the Satan Satan comes he goes oh yeah is not here you know why right he died somebody being carried by the angels and so on and so forth so they think oh I can't believe it he died listen we need a new middleman we need somebody to connect us to Hashem so they come to her listen make us uh something make us a statue I'll say was he crazy no I'm not making anything so so they kill him they kill him they kill her why says what you're not willing to for us to help us service Hashem you're not worth to be alive they go to our home alone help us out make us something so I don't know they're so passionate they're so into the Mitzvah they're so into chuva they're so into everything they're not even seeing straight so he said you know what let me just buy time let me just buy time what's the most difficult thing you could ask from people their money their money you ask them to to go climb Mountain they'll climb out you ask them go you know run 19 miles for me so somebody could donate ten dollars they'll run 19 miles say can you donate ten dollars no no I can't donate that's too much 19 miles they can run donate ten dollars they can't so I'll do this he says listen us why don't you guys give me all your gold he Figures it's going to take a while for them to get all the gold they can arguing about money and so on and so forth but to his surprise yet Sarah was already running wild the guy started taking off all their bracelets all their earrings all their everything and they're throwing the all the gold at our own now it says okay fine I wasn't expecting to get all this money right away all this gold right away but I'm still okay why if you take all this gold I have to melt it to melt gold anybody knows a little bit about jewelry business takes a lot a lot of very very hot fire first of all and second of all a lot of time to melt the gold to turn it into the little lava that looks like and so on so he says okay okay guys listen throw all the gold Into the Fire he's thinking that by the time this gold is going to melt it's gonna be a few days so he's not worried he knows that Michelle Obama was coming in a few hours he's not worried but there's surprise little mikha kid the kid comes the kid comes and he has something in his hand that belonged to Moshe rabeno what's in his hand before I'm Israel left Egypt they had to deliver on a promise that Ami said that the 12 tribes made to their brother Yosef Yusef said to the brothers listen when you leave Egypt you have to promise me that if I die before all of you that you're gonna take my bones to Eric take my tomb there that's Israel you have to promise me and everybody promised wanted to deliver on that promise that his forefathers made to the Levine made to take uh yourself out of Egypt problem is that he didn't know what he was because the Egyptians worshiped Joseph Sadiq and they hit his body they hit his tomb so he had to find somebody that actually knew where Joseph Sadiq was was actually buried there was only one person that knew where that was and that was a woman by the name of Sarah the daughter of ashel and the only reason she knew is because she was alive at the time of Joseph Sadiq she was blessed by her grandfather yaakov that she's gonna live forever until she goes to heaven so she was already hundreds and hundreds of years old and she was there and she saw and knew exactly where Joseph and Sadiq was actually buried and she told he's buried inside the Nile River the Egyptians hid his tomb inside the Nile River comes to the Nile River he doesn't have cranes like we have today he doesn't have all that stuff it's more than enough so he says okay the tomb is here we have to deliver on a promise he takes a mate which is like a piece of metal on one side he engraves the name of Hashem the holy name of Hashem on the other side of it engraves rise bull rise because each one of the tribes had a symbol Yoda had a symbol of lion Yousef had a symbol of bull she says Rise bull rise and before he threw it he spoke to the nashama of yourself he said yourself I'm here to deliver on the promise of our forefathers either you take yourself out of this River raise the tomb out of the river or you're staying here he threw the mate inside the water and the kadusha from hashem's name made the Tomb come out of the water it took the tomb and left never thinking about what happened to this little piece of metal never thinking that little mija the boy he saved years ago was hiding in the bushes and as soon as he left he jumped into the water and grabbed this little mate grabbed this piece of metal and he had held it now what happens you fast forward to the point of the story that I just mentioned all of the Jews are throwing their gold Into the Fire and little mikha doesn't have anything doesn't have any gold but he has this little piece of metal so he throws the piece of metal what does the medal say Rice Bowl rise what comes out of the fire by itself without being made a bull a bull comes out and from the kadusha of hashem's name being on that mate that bull speaks and it comes out by itself and says I am the god that took you out of Egypt are we still surprised that amisel worshiped it for a little while worship that spoke I promise you a book comes to the shoe and starts talking to us there's a very good chance a few people start worshiping it I'm done a ball gum there's a bull that's dead on Wall Street I used to live on Wall Street I used to live on Monsters 15 Wall Street 15 Broad Street right in the corner across the street from the New York Stock Exchange and top of the block literally a minute and a half for my house there's a huge bull you know how many people worship it people go there take pictures oh they put it on their walls everywhere they worship this bull this is the bull and it's dead if that bull started talking more people will come foreign to save the baby but if I'm killing a baby there's a reason for it because it's not it's baby in body but the nashama is not it's an evilness if I'm killing it there's a reason for it you don't want to trust my reason you want to do something you think you do better how about from here we see that anything that happens in the world that doesn't necessarily agree with our logic doesn't necessarily make God bad husband Shalom doesn't make him evil Shalom doesn't make him wrong it's just that we don't understand the whole picture we just understand one part we understand that the little girl got abused or the little boy got this a little this or all these things that are crazy happened and yes the people that did it are going to get punished but nonetheless Hashem did it Hashem allowed it for his own reasons that are beyond our comprehension therefore that when we have our desires when we have our yet Salah even though sometimes it seems like it's too big for us it's not too big for us we just think it is Hashem gave us a test because he knows we can pass it he wouldn't give us a test unless he knew for sure we can pass it no matter how hard how hard we think it is and that's in essence the whole goal of all of the lectures it's to number one remind us that there's a reward for the good that we do there's a punishment for the bad that we do but the definition of good and bad can only be the definition that Hashem has not our own definition now what we determine is good because what we determine is good is flawed many times we have to look constantly at the book and see what does he say is good what does he say is right if he says it's good if he says it's right then you know for sure it's right and it's good but if I said it if you said it if somebody really smart says it 50 50. and that's what we constantly mentioned the sources and we used so on and so forth because we know that if it was written in those books that's the word of God that's the word of God to me to anybody that has a little bit of that's as good as it gets it's as good as it can get because you know that's guaranteed guaranteed that even though it may not look good in the beginning in the end it always will be [Music] let me know what you think and make sure to share it because other people need to learn too
