7 Beggars and Sukkot Ushpizin with Rabbi Jay Yaacov Schwartz

[Music] and welcome everyone this is the auspicious day birthday of Suk which is the IDE of the rebi ruas and I'd like to dedicate this second half of our our shur to the rebi who whose primary Story one of his primary stories that he told and we'll get to that in a moment was the story of the Seven Beggars and according to our B Kaplan the seven Beggars correlate both to thein and to the Y vus so we're going to explore that programmatically but first a little bit of background as you are probably or may be aware nman passed away in about 1811 he was a young man less than 40 years old he was the great grandson of the balov through his daughter UT who was the mother fga um and uh F's son was RAB nak and his father's name was s Hena the young man was born in meus which was the BTO Hometown he was a direct heir to the estate of the he grew up in the bmo's house vicinity and although they did not did not um learn or meet each other directly certainly all the tamim of the bem came visited widely he um his grandmother UD was really the spiritual heir of the legacy of the bmov more than the bmov son and everybody consulted with her and went to her and gave to her asking her to pray on behalf once the B passed away the what is um interesting and unique about reab rabman is his Universal appeal unlike other faic RAB the possible exception of the BTO and perhaps um others the world has developed very strong opinions about Rin one way or the other within the world of Hut almost immediately when he passed his primary student rbe nasan Aba who came from a revered um Lish rinic Dynasty his father-in-law was very saintly RAV who was the chief Rabbi of all the communities of galitzia recognized recognized halakic master who was much who was not involved Inus not not didn't promote and wanted his his um sonin-law gifted son-in-law n of neov as he became to be known to either be a r in his vast network of communities that deferred to his saintly father-in-law's um jurisdictionally or do uh enterprising business which incredibly the Jews of Ukraine were so Adept at despite the odds stacked against them working with non-jews and in in very hostile environments harsh environments both physically and and uh in terms of anti-Semitism and yet they prospered and his family was were cloth merchants and even R not was familiar with that business from his own experience and this was a big industry at the time what we would call in modern 20th century lingo the shata business but not making dresses actually it was fine Fabrics so there was two ways for NL NE to make a living but he chose to cling to his rebi and became his Bard what I mean by that is he reported his teachings extensively all of the L Maran lessons were written by hand by rman and orasan and recorded and published by rasan uh one in the lifetime of the rebi and the second volume post humously then the rebi encouraged Ness to ground his very lofty cabalistic thoros which are very difficult for a Layman uh to fully appreciate and we'll get more into that into the a very a very lfish Touchstone which is and not sh by the way of his contemporary the alter re but they're actual the backbone of observance it's interesting wanted through his student rasan who was a World's expert in ALA to take his inspiring uh cryptic and often undecipherable uh but obviously brilliant Toros and explain them in the context of that people could appreciate the various um and by linking them to a that was known and also to a period of the year that was familiar MO khaka P um the words of in that in that rubric became more accessible and more understandable so the series is massive and I as far as I know there's no extensive researched uh index for it which is on which is unfortunate very deeply unfortunate but it's a massive massive work and it's still really people really scratched the surface in terms of digesting it famously said that if n had not come to to him as a not one word of his teachings would have been preserved we cannot underestimate his primary T there are many many great Personalities in brov who became teachers the shman in our generation the Galia kenig Sons the rabbis of of thought who I was very dearly personally close with and who introduced me to uman and to breast love in a more profound way I'm very grateful to them nearly 20 years ago and the are um the the rabbis in Ukraine the last surviving members in the Soviet era who secretly furtively made their way to uman Rashana as the rebi taught his students please come to me for Rashana as Rashana was a unique opportunity where his could on all those gathered with him and to all for the benefit of Israel um render and many others we can't go through the history now of the leadership but let's suffice it to say that without neov and the various leaders that came afterwards that ended up for the most part in the Ukraine and some immigrated to erel either early on like aam Stern hars certainly one of the great shining lights of of a modern day rest of teaching and a teacher of many of the Great Masters including Ralia Kenn who was a Pioneer in kir a true Pioneer in kir and encouraged his children to build the city ofad as an iresh as a natural prerequisite for the Sha's return to erisel as a whole so all these personalities contributed to the literature but the literature itself um breaks into two essential Parts the Maran the teachings of the rebi himself either that he wrote or that recorded secondly the immense series penned by by which as he said based on Shar reference to this to the year round bringing the ideas down to earth in a more digestible way and then of course all the commentaries on either or compilations extensions of those ideas and then there's there's the the literature of rman stories and perhaps more than anything else in the World At Large rman stories have a tremendous sense of curiosity not only to Jews religious and not religious but also to non-jews academics um Christians interested in Judaism people who want to come convert to Judaism people who just are appreciating it as a form of Jewish literature I had the privilege myself to get close to uh Professor Elle who was a big fan of rakan and for those who don't know besides Holocaust books he wrote extensively on various cish figures very eloquently and beautifully gave lectures about the tamic Masters the Masters in the mishna and then his ability to Converse in lofty and uplifting terms about key ideas in Yiddish Kai has been paralleled truly unusual remarkable man um used to give lectures up in Boston University in his in his massive building there should rest in peace that was built for him by one of his key supporters and he would teach stories an old worn out um volume in Yiddish because originally the stories were yish and then translated into Hebrew and then later into English by none other than re Arya Kaplan recently published by the bre Research Institute is a brand new tales [Music] and the Fantastic and absolute genius discovered in America um and put to the the holy task of bringing some of Torah literature's most esoteric cabalistic Works into the focus of modern man in English language uh everything that he writes is imp researched was impeccably researched extensively uh documented and invaluable Rabbi Arya Kaplan perished also young with every mman some say because he revealed just a bit too much about the cabalistic text and the world was not ready or resisted his uh remarkable achievements passed away tragically in the 1980s but he did Translate and give uh voice to a number of works there's also the biographical Tales of Ban's life um which are attributed to his T but what I'd like to say is that let's take a look a historical perspective as we passed away in 1811 the world was undergoing a massive transition was about to undergo a massive transition to the concept of nationalism and democracy with the French Revolution with the American Revolution just just nent just years before um and in and in Russia Ukraine the Zar sadly was given leadership rulership over millions of Jews and Russia had never been a place that wanted to even admit Jews their their strain of Christianity was so varly anti-semitic that Jews were really not welcome in the Russian realm which is why they restricted them to the pale of settlement which was outside including UK all of Ukraine and and impoverished them and they LED such a miserable life that some of the great rebes uh prayed that Napoleon 179 9 or so be victorious over the Russians of course he wasn't so that the Jews would at least leave their crushing poverty and anti-semitic uh decrees that they constantly faced which again would later be even exaggerated the religious persecution would be exaggerated of the Soviets which of course would lead to the fact that oran's graveside became a criminal uh offense to even try to get there it's kind of like what's happening now but in any case um so the world was getting ready for major shift many times my sh I pointed out and I would like to include that in this year as well we speak about the seven days of creation that Arya Kaplan says together with usin is the way to have a perspective on the story of the Seven begar the famous story of the Seven beggar ofin um is also relevant not only to the days of creation but to the Millennium of creation that s97 a says I quoted in previous shum that the world will be following that pattern will have six millenniums those are a thousand year periods and at the end of the sixth Millennium in other words um when we reach the year 6000 which is uh really really approaching very rapidly uh we'll enter the period of Shabbat the seventh day and the world will advance it is advancing but will even further advance to such an extent that the Physical Realm as we know it will will cease to exist and will be some sort of hybrid spiritual physical world that we cannot fully determine what that means but only rely on the words that we have from our greatest uh we him back from the gorra etc etc but it's something that no one has ever really seen I'd like to comment that this sixth day began in the year 1240 uh its midpoint was 1740 and 1740 coincides with the birth of all these movements that the world had never seen before whether it was democracy and uh emancipation of slavery with which became later in America but first appeared in Europe the rights of individuals higher education and of course a lot of uh heresy which the the man's intellectual Powers seemed to go on a warp speed and human reason and logic became the main stay of the Western World it something that I that I learned was that the the notra Dame should part in the expression uh place of of Christian worship according to many of what is are um which not that long ago burnt down I don't know if it was ever really restored or you don't hear in the news because nobody goes there anymore but it was the place where the Tom was burned in that year 1240 signaling a new era of the Messianic both persecutions and redemptions uh the Jewish people had gone through tremendous suffering but as the world was going to change New Opportunities would come to them not all of them so fortunate for example the emancipation of Jews and uh through Napoleon uh led to rampant assimilation the um the persecutions in Russia kept Jews away from society that was one way that they stayed religious but met met the challenges of being conscripted to Bear's Army and living miserable lives uh not being able to build families not being able to practice their religion and himself wrote a special volume for those cantonis and there were many great Golem that almost were were taken forcibly from their families to be conscripted to the Zars Army which include kab tarus of course rapid anti-Semitism and more so so it was a challenging era Ran's day but also opportunities were comingin understood perhaps better than almost anybody but the world needed a type of Torah that would help the Jewish people go through this transition he claimed and this is one of the reasons of was persecuted by other Casas because of R's incred incredible statements one of which was that his teachings were there were something completely new the world had never seen before and they were the next level of the revelation of Torah after the B and that there would be not any other level in other words no one would reveal more of cabala and C Torah the hidden Dimension the in Dimension or prus Tor no one would reveal any more than what had revealed the Mia and he also claimed that Mia would also somehow relate to his own works and give sh in his works that was number one what other presented about second claim was of course Oran famously promised that anybody who would come to his Kev give a little bit of stup and recite his 10 K that he selected known as the t uh that R would engage on their behalf in the Heavenly courts and see to free that those Souls from gam and from suffering in other words that R would actually intervene on their behalf and use his superal influence to gain entrance for his quote unquote to enter alh there many stories about this I'm not going to go into that this time how people had kind of uh near-death experiences and they kind of were reviewing they were experiencing their life review and judgment and that rakman actually intervened for them and and uh they came back to Earth for various reasons but they remembered that intervention and uh those stories have been widely shared he said that he would pull up a Jew by his pis but even if he don't have pis I think that's the idea he would do anything for him uh or for her that matter the ti CL himself he revealed to two of his students notos but he said that they were remedy against sexual impurity that if they were cited as a unit they were like a mini tum 10 out of 150 that had a powerful combination kind of like a song He describes him his songs and the story of the Seven Beggars he speaks about the arrows of the Satan poison arrows of the saton that pierce the Jewish soul with sadness depression defilement and that can only be pulled out or or remedied through the songs that are represented by these 10 Psalms of course they are Ted Zion 16 32 L Bas interesting Le like Bre Bre he said Le BAS it's a flesh flesh and blood heart um and then 4142 m m b NES I Zion 59 and 77 and then KU 105 no excuse me sadic 90 and KU 105 90 105 137 F Zion and kman in the final capital uh people who are close to breast love who feel themselves as a to of breast love would say those T tell them every day not only that but but would would try to make the journey to rashash so many did and particularly in this year and I've been blessed to go many many times and I always like to say not everyone not everyone how should I say can can get into being close to rabeno and his teachings but it is available for anyone so let me reiterate that PR of might not be quote unquote for everyone but it is for anybody it's not for everyone but it is for anybody when I say anybody it's without exception Jew non-jew CID litvak um Seeker not seeker heretic not heretic anyone who is interested intrigued by his teachings his stories the experience of uh the effect of the practices that he that he uh focused on especially personal prayer he B doing in one's own words ideally for about an hour or a day sh or period of time doesn't have to be an hour where you talk to God as a friend as a mentor and look to create a personal relationship with that goes beyond ritual and rote one could view akman especially from his story the master of prayer where he literally described himself pulling individuals out of society bringing them out to the Wilderness and mentoring each one according to what they needed this one needed to be built up he needed fancy clothes this one needed to do modesty he got less clothes this one needed a lot of reinforcement each one to his own the master of prayer the B he saw himself he described himself about kind of like a personalized messiah in fact did say my Messiah has arrived so could look at that as a way in which Reb Nan was arguing and and the rebbi was rain was promising that the pathway to Messiah began with individuals as opposed to the group every the more enlightened individuals that would gather together with this uniquely personal heartfelt relationship with Hashem grounded in Practical which was the required learning and some suggest also DFI there was a group that was from Poland of was a famous Rabbi brider who was a a kind a Cornerstone of the teacher he became influenced by the by the rabbis in um he traveled to Ukraine he learned from the Masters that were there brought his teachings back to Poland we're talking about the time the early 20th century prior to the Nazis and he perished in the Holocaust of a brider but not before establishing uh the teachings of R ran in Poland and when they no longer were able to travel to uman due to the Advent of the Soviet era which barred it and threatened those who would go there they made them their own Minion and as the as the history tells us that they convened in the famous yiva of ofin which is itself a a massively important subject it that Yeshiva represented the modernization of the Yeshiva to be on every level of the modernday academic society that tempted so many Jews men and women away from traditional Torah mitos which they viewed as being in the context of a quote unquote primitive primitive or old-fashioned culture and R shapira wanted to lift the the the covet of Torah and he did so paying with his own life investing his own fortune his life insurance policy that there should be a overcome budgetary concerns and build a massive building and feed BM as if they were going to the finest quote unquote secular institution University of berin he named it so in that place reinman's followers had their rashab some say that Sho doav with them and notice that according toan's style of learning which was very very much uh the alternative to what we came to be called today the classic briser briser is the idea of finding uh through careful analysis and definitions differentiations between various Halos the stages of their development as their impact and the ability I would call to split the atom to see nuan differences that clarify difficult difficult seeming contradictions in the works such as the rambam or Beyond in the literature and him so that D won the day it was the intellectual um champion of Torah learning saved it saved Torah because young people were wanted that academic level laav and it kept them in the world of Torah it kept some of the bright brightest and most Brilliant Minds not mind you so many so so many were lost and assimilated whether it was to atheism whether it was to nationalist movements Comm ISM socialism even Zionism secular Zionism but the bris allowed people who had Brilliant Minds to have a real joy in Le Torah that that satisfied their their um interest in investigation classification and knowledge that was just so satisfying that is the Cornerstone not that there was it's still Derman had a different approach and I think it's the fact that brusso as it sounds is more focused on Le basar on developing a person's emotional and personal connection with God then intellectual uh achievement of Torah which sish World cherished and still does and not that the world doesn't today such a hybrid after World War I and World War II every has L Tendencies and every LV has Reish Tendencies they turn their Ras into rebas and in terms of doing at their for in terms of seeking guidance personal guidance very much a faic model that the world has become integrated has become integrated we not been said to learn a lot panovich used to do that too cover ground panovich they wanted to learn a lot so the bre in Lin used to learn a daily a daily page of gamar because the re said learn learn just learn take a complete tour of Torah in your lifetime all of sh m in fact to his Elite students challenged them to finish all of Torah lit literature every year even the most incredibly um gifted students didn't quite manage to do all of shi MIM um of course and saying so on the vast Corpus of Torah literature in a year maybe a year and a half but the rest of us were were were famous for being page Turners they would learn a lot and in fact in their years of being tormented that was one way that they were identified in Israel and elsewhere it says these were ah he's learning a lot of blot at once that that's a breast thing that's what Renu suggested and some people suggest that the fact that they were headquartered in Shin inspired R Shapiro to Institute a doomi which was here to before really unheard of because no one could understand how he could reach depth still can't understand how reach depth study uh moving in in that pace and it seemed to be a polar opposite to the general approach to learning and uh I'm thinking that today there's more synthesis of both that one without the other is most certainly incomplete and is certainly part of what what recommended to learn the persecutions of of breast emanated from Ran's startling claims as we said earlier that he contributed to the development of cabala and and pis Ator the final stage before msia number two that if you came to uman on rashash Shana or any time and recited his that he would save your soul from Ganon which is why people even under this year's circumstances and the this recent year circumstances and inan this past year there was no there haven't been any flights available directly to KV as there were maybe 10 years ago because the war with Russia has rendered kev's airports uh destroyed uh one had to fly into neighboring countries last year they managed to secure many flights to neighboring countries mova Romania even Poland Hungary uh people found their way there and truly get to show resourceful ways this year another blow happened when mova decided not to accept any Israeli charter flights for reasons that were they said were Financial but in my mind perhaps political as well I think it was pressure brought to bear on them somehow uh to allow individuals but not allow large large grp group of Israelis anyway people were stranded they had to make their way back to Romania was 24-hour bus rides back from Ukraine to uh places such as BAU Romania tiny little airports which had his dispatch thousands of thousands of Travelers back to Israel it was probably the most difficult year of traveling and people some people had easier times they had trains they had this they had other opportunities everybody their own mle but despite fact apparently tens of thousands of people went to Davin who can understand who can appreciate the level of m nees the financial physical and emotional commitment that would make people take that Journey which other rebba could possibly demand that sort of Alliance Allegiance and that's part of the mystery of why would Professor wiell teach it to a group of non-jews as I sat there watched him do it at a huge table with his Yiddish copy of the Zion bers of the seven Beggars discuss it with people as a piece of Cl classic religious philosophical literature where did what is how can we make sense about any of this one thing I will tell you that left me very left a very big impression on me as I became more familiar with these sources that there were in Ukraine where he lived especially in uman where he chose to be for his final resting place he died of tuberculosis like I said before before his 40th birthday 38 something and change and um there apparently were very very brilliant Jews who were musculine and had become I would call them atheists uh people dedicated dedicated they were very very brilliant they knew Classics Greek Roman everything mathematics some of them came to see rabman when he arrived in um in his last year of Life they wanted to make they wanted to make a little fun of Thea that came to their midst from the nearby town of brlo and they and when he arrived at their Tish at at his Tish the rebby all of a sudden switched to a to a very esoteric toast with a complicated mathematical um uh calculation and they all of a sudden like kind of took it between the eyes and said whoa this guy is feisty he's going to try to talk to us on our own level and sure enough they started to hang out with him there's a fellow named H rice her bear um these people were some of them later became professors at Oxford they're talking about people of enormous enormous intellectual gifts and also heretical views and somehow they were drawn they were so intrigued by this young Rabbi who could take it to them in their own level they once you know they had a game with himman said I can coach you Homer and Plato just looked at it a little bit and he started quoting it B remember Ma's knowledge of Torah was encyclopedic he knew every P inside and out Val he knew gorus he knew Zohar he knew shamies it was nothing no limit to what he had mastered incredibly at his very very relatively young age but he could go toe-to-toe with these people he played chess with them and when horrified students like Aron would come to visit him and see him playing chest with these Heretics they would say what are you doing here the holy Rabbi is sitting down with these apostates with with these with these people and playing chess with them and they didn't call him Rabbi they called him na they wouldn't even give him the respect of calling Rabbi they didn't believe in Rabbi they believe in God and then he said it's not for you it's not for you but it is for rabina and it's the last Russ sh of B's life they had took out a house to Davin rashash Shana with him and this hsh bear uh and his cohorts were there and apparently he was also very very politically powerful locally and also very rich his attendant came with his shaving kit before Yan to help him get ready for you know to shave for the holiday which of course is AER according to Shar and he refused it and he went into rash with stubble and he said that had R lived one more year he would have been a complete Bel as it was he did an extraordinary thingman suddenly and unfortunately passed away on sukus today being the fourth day of sukus um there was a major major debate what to do in terms of his burier uman wasn't his natural environment he was more in breast love he used to travel to the more wealthy cities where his fatim more keman chog and all these you know more substantial cities in the in the the venitzia part of Ukraine and each Town came with its Representatives wanting to claim burial rights but this HS bear her rice hsh bear too HS Bear Went Over to basan who knew that although wasn't respected as the leader or certainly not as a um he was a Tom of Mok but not everybody appreciated him there were people of great stature who were rees's tomen though he was no person of small stature himself of and he goes right to him him and says where does Reb want to be buried and and reab N dutifully said here in um why because there was a massacre of the hiac uh kasaks about 50 years earlier before was born and many many Jews died in uman Kem and there was a very big Massacre it was probably one of the biggest massacres in that area until Bobby AR which would take place in Holocaust also in Kia you're not that far from of course all the all the Jews of were slaughtered in the H except those who could Escape so he says okay want to be right here with the martyrs okay good he bought with his own money two spots one for their to be buried one for them to be a canopy to put over you know like a little building to put over those who would visit and um he uh his Rabbi the re's third wife his widow paid for little that little canopy to be built over wordss and that's why the Reby is buried in uman today all because of the effect of a local Jew a brilliant apostate who started to become a holy student of arakan and became his student and himself paid for oran's burial place with which became the magnet for all those to medium and and for random people from all over Jews mostly who would want to make the pilgrimage to make connection to this unique would be called sodic em and what's the difference between sadic and EM took upon himself the the burden of not just being aoic was a great resource for people who go and Inspire them and teach them and take their sadic emis goes beyond his box goes outside of the boundaries of his area and maybe even his continent and maybe even his era and looks to draw uh vagrant Jewish Souls back to their Source people who do care of her and the rebis in the in the years before such as the fre kabad who was Rabbi in Russia 19 20 under the Soviet era had to escape it to America 1940 as Mish and sent suicide to do brismas and right and do haers under the watchful eye of the aesia the Jewish atheist communist who job was to destroy to Judaism from its roots and who personally persecuted beat and imprisoned the FBI and that story is a story for another time but the people said I'm going to rescue every Jew my my rebi from was a in my in my understanding his heart was with the Soviet Jews arriving in Israel and he and his palum um I was part of that it established the shuu network of schools here in Israel which has done kir work for four or five decades now and is really a resource of uh tremendous tremendous power here in this country multi multi multi-million dollar budgets all to bring K know nothing about toroser to so when you're talking about sadic Ms you're talking about somebody who has Mass Appeal think about in our generation B he had Mass Appeal people came to roll over Jews non-jews you go today to the cave of the Bob shevy and see ministers they know they come there with their lists of names that they're praying for praying for they know the word is out here lies it sadic EMS an ainu kind of figure which is appeals to all people we say says in the Torah you are the prince of Hashem in our midst and a great s always is that always is that beloved by all Jew non-jew brings out the work of their Holiness and their their tellim to the max okay with that introduction we have another time I'm gonna have to do part three I wanted to get this out in in terms of the yard site I will tell you that I had a personal Miracles the year I first went to way back about 20 years ago in that year I was privileged to D in uman for the first time R having uh the freedom to do so after spending many many years in In a formalized Pulpit position and when I became a reagent it was that the first year I was a beine r and in that year I experienced the personal Miracle of having a child born that uh was difficult to come by and I had gone also to the Reby M CER so though my my background my father was very very big in his own right came from a lith background near Isel I kind of gravitated more to toas there were people like R and rosha Wilson so I had an appreciation ofus even though I worked in the mod Orthodox World educated more in that world and I see the advantage of a more nuanced and inclusive position and at that level there are no arguments reup would never speak bad about anyone uh whether whether it was there was such thing I mean AIC is AIC AIC and I I believe that sadiki EMS have that in common that they're just above The Fray they should never utter any word which would denigrate any other person who was an get a sh it's not not possible and um this was the environment that I came to know I encourage people on this day of the yor site to focus on two things number one the rebi spoke about personal prayer to Hashem as a way of building relationship one could argue that the transition that took place in the 1740 and 1840 Landmark years as we make our way through through this sixth day of creation which is preparing us for the the Millennium of shabas rapidly rapidly approaching um the intellectual knowledge of Torah known as the allowed the Jews to survive starting with y and all the way through the academies in Sur andisa and later in the north AF African communities and Spain and France and Germany gery and Poland and all the places where Jews thrived throughout and eventually back to America and and of course Israel that journey of the was primarily one of Torah knowledge and there was a background starting in the 1740s when 1733 when B revealed himself to supplement that with a heartfelt relationship sh to Hashem as an emphasis not that exist before but is your connection to Hashem through the M or in in addition with or person and of course said of course it's both he said you doin and learn and do and he was very big about turning Torah into a full integration the mind and the heart one could argue that Judaism was like kept in a box in our bitter gulo years wherever it might have been and that it the brain the head of of of Cl was preserved to the of brilliant T throughout the generations but the actual manifestation of it struggled because when we set down roots in one country before he knew it they were torn aund ripped up and and exiled especially in in in Europe especially in the countries that were we suffered the pers persecution of the of the Christian church and and and indeed of the Muslim um you know mulas but we're now in AR and even to a certain extent in America the full-bodied experience of yudish Kai is possible building institutions setting down Roots I don't think so much in America uh but the K Torah is profound and has built communities of great magnitude in America hopefully they should continue to prosper and survive the travails of Gus and here in AR Israel we should survive the travails of that try to prevent the full manifestation of yahadus not just head but body heart and soul and of course that is the pathway towards the Messianic era we're undergoing a lot of change I can't get into too much detail about the history but there is a lot of history that we have to observe to understand the trends that have dominated the world and how the Jewish Journey towards Gula are paralleled by that um I will have to take a break here and having given you just an overview about the rebi some of his intentions some of of his basic practices and not even so much his toor Ros which is another subject um the rebi pioneered the battle of the 20th century against mental health issues such as depression anxiety lack of identity poor self-esteem his Torah such as aamra where you look at the good point within every person especially yourself were built out by psychological schools such as reer roer and regard became part of psychology social work and now the entire positive psychology movement rahman's teachings are and were groundbreaking foundational work on how to tackle the worst emotional states addictions depressions um conflicts overcoming bad meos um sh bias parosa issues Solutions are there that only now in the 21st century are starting to become discovered and appreciated in a more profound way but everything seems to be integrating very nicely we need lumus we need Al we need the ability to battle our inner battle against the suon which represents depression anxiety sadness worthlessness purposelessness mindless Pursuits uh sexual um frivolity and immorality just the worst the worst challenges that our generation has ever seen and maybe any generation has ever seen was there to lay a foundation that preceded it kicked inaka and only people now today are starting to realize it so the story of the Seven Beggars is an epitome of that attempt to explain to people a perspective on life which will be far more successful and out of the box than what you might have thought otherwise it's linked to the message ofp it's linked to the message of the evolution of creation that Hashem wants the world to mature through in these six millenniums that we're in and the very end which we approach and the events and state of Israel that we're going through especially today so to be continued we'll go a little deeper now that you have some at least a superficial overview of Ran's intentions and purposes was from my perspective there's so much more to say people have different views people could say that whatever they their their opinion experience they greatly differ from mine this is what I can humbly offer you on this holy day at his your site and that the integrative approach of Torah psychology positivity um resilience um positive regard sh bias all these things are somehow magically rooted in the teachings of in ways that are only being distu to be continued thank you and we should be back [Music] de [Music]
