Welcome to My Life see this applied episode 275 I wouldn't either she'll wear tonight is already the end of the second day of His Radio Show here. Which is the first day of L. We know there's two days of rest Raiders the 30th day of of and the first day of L. So the countdown has begun the countdown to Rosh Hashanah the year tough Shin pay. Five 780 so in exactly 30 days from now will be Rosh Hashanah. So L is known as the month of Preparatory month hideous Akana the man that prepares us for this year for us Asana, which of course encompasses the entire New Year that comes that follows and it's also the RadioShack has been the month of accounting of the past year. So really has two components that accounting for the And preparing for the future which of course goes hand-in-hand because you can prepare for the future. But if you don't take account and accounting for the past, you can repeat mistakes. God forbid or you don't improve properly. So in any good situation with his a Denver husband with an accountability and there's a plan for the future. There's looking what was done what can be done better what can be improved what can be corrected and then you make the plan for the year to come so month of elul encompasses both elements and That's where we're at and rosh chodesh as we know that the emphasis on the word rubbish in Hebrew the head of the month. It doesn't just say the beginning of the month like Rayshawn of the head of the year because like ahead. It's not just the top notch as the beginning of the month. It's also the central nervous system that controls the entire body the entire being in this case in time the British Traders like it is in Space the head of the body is the central nervous system that controls the entire body the head of the month. Is the central nervous system in time of the month that controls the entire month? So this is a powerful beginning and with that begins his journey the Journey of the day by day all the different introspection and the different ways we increase in our good deeds and as the rebbe explains the five different acronyms for the month of elul which correspond to the three pillars upon which the world stands an acronym that refers to dominating prayer. An acronym for Entertainer study Taylor and acronyms, it's DACA. And then of course the two other acronyms which is refers to chuva and to Gula so these five these five ideas these five principles Encompass all of Judaism all of you this kite and they're from the month of L. We look at all of them. So that way the entire spectrum of life is dressed. We're also in the week of posture safety. Chef team, of course immediately the name itself indicates that not melt element of accountability shaved him but shaitan Pita. Mahadeva, you shall appoint judges and law enforcers in all your Gates. So even a basic level, what is it George? What is a law enforcer? It's an accountability. It's accountability is to make sure that we are kept honest. So in the general sense of it you have outside people who are appointed as judges and law enforcers to to make sure that the nation the people the community individuals follow the law and but on a personal level as this brings they got a turd some upsetting that I besides it's quite a number of times from the CFC cane a lot of theta that is shaped and reshaped in the court didn't the Harbour referring to show that the world Gates is also interesting here. It really means municipalities, but the word Gates is says is that it's The referring to the judges and the lawn forces that we have to establish at the gates that connect the human being to the world around him or her and there's seven Gates. Shut up girl goes to seven Gates the two eyes two ears the two nostrils and the mouth. These are the interfaces that allow us to interact with the world around us. She think of a let's say a walled City. So there's this city the people dwelling inside the city the wall protects them. But every wall has Gates or else you can't get in you can't get out and the gate there Gatekeepers and that's why you protected inside the throughout the the people inside the city. So it worked on ozel goof as he has the Gomorrah says and Delta besides his tiny extensively are katanas our goof the small city is the body being the human being this body is exposed to a world with elements. Not just the weather elements and not just physical elements, but also, Jackal emotional and other influences around us that can affect us not always for the positive. So you have to have a wall around your city and that wall is the human beings defense mechanism are our armor, but that wall can be sealed completely because there's a need to interact with the world around us. So how do you interact without being vulnerable and hurt by destructive forces. So like a house you have your own home your home has a door. Has several doors has Gates and the gates. Are they getting you need to play as Gatekeepers? And that's the shape than the shades in the judges and the law enforces The Gatekeepers. That should make sure that your eyes don't wander in the wrong place that you look at what you should be looking at. The ear should be listening to what they should be listening to the nose. The smell should smell was it should be smelling and the mouth both what we taken to her mouth what we taste and what we speak should all be done with a an accountability. So how much morphine Is that to the month of L? That's exactly what L is about is to check our eyes and our ears and our nose and our mouth. Basically our five senses. The sense of touch is not mentioned here. Sometimes touches not mention as the number of Rights and made an Evoque them that that's a that entail you don't find me shoosh because it's a very it's a very crass and a very very materialistic form of a sense, but the other senses are taste touched sight sound taste and touch So I not touch taste and smell. So those are covered in the seven Gates and we plays Gatekeepers to make sure that what goes in and what goes out is done in the best possible way and that's the connection to shape them vitiated this week's chapter. So that's actually Supply that relates to the time and we're in living with the time and with that let us go into some of the questions and before we go into that. Let me make my announcement usually weekly announcement for those that are already familiar. That are new to this program. This program has been going on now for 275 episodes were talking over six years when the sixth Year and thank God has been very successful in the sense. A lot of people listening in a lot of people writing questions tremendous interaction, which really makes it so rich experience. It's not a one-way streets not just me speaking here. I'm responding to comments and questions and counter comments and counter-arguments and so on. So we We have designated entire website just for this because of its growth called Sid has applied that cam where you can find the all the episodes previous episodes. You can download podcasts and all different platforms listen to it. Whenever you at your own Leisure, you can also post an anonymous question completely Anonymous at The Forum there. So any questions all questions are welcome. All questions will be answered takes time sometimes because there's a backlog but Sir, only a sign of the success of this program and of course, there's also the different resources that you can find there including the essays last five years. We've done the essay contest engaging and including people from all over the world and all walks of life, especially students in writing essays that applies to this to life taking an idea of citizens applying it to a contemporary challenge or issue that can all be found that it has applied that calm and of course always to Ian specially we're going to the month of L when we increase in charity that we really depend on your support not just moral and psychological emotional support but also financial support in sponsoring a program in honor or memory of a loved one. So, please be gracious and be kind and help us out both to continue and to expand this program and thank you in advance with that. Let us go into the topics, but they'll begin with cross-referencing on that which I just discussed. LOL shaved him. So quite a number of episodes where these topics are addressed previous episodes 30 and 31 34 79 and 81 32 24 to 25 to 28 and 273. So we'll start with this question. Why doesn't Tate and Judaism celebrate art as it does song So to elaborate a bit when you look in the Tater, you'll find song of course Negan filler is sometimes called Negan or She-Ra She-Ra Siam. The other songs that we find is a prominent element in in Thailand in Judaism first annotation big sauvage animation the differentiators share the same passion hookahs shit is serious, very different sheets that we find the number of times such a important element. We find that appealing as I said is called shooter and song and of course we see Dialing has a Noosa that has been passed on different disguise and different synagogues idea of Ashley accessible. That doesn't just sing. But of course, we also have the Lovin the machete at him. The Levites were the composers of song The baits. I'm English. So song plays a very prominent role usually in Turkish Society secular society also says song music is a music and the arts arts include of course Artistry and I mean just Artistry in the broad sense. I mean art as in painting and there you don't find you don't find anything in the Tater about it. Now that doesn't mean that there aren't that wasn't valued based on means ocean the mishkan of course built into the Beautiful with beautiful embroidery and beautiful done the most possible way the way it was sculpted the gold the silver the copper and everything using the big but we're talking about art as making a picture of a person or of a landscape or some other picture. You don't find that. So the obvious reason for it is and well as go back to the secular world in the secular world, you do find it you find them both very prominent composition of music and the great artists throughout history. So there's the first thing that made it needs to be pointed out is that when it comes to Art including even two-dimensional are specially three dimension when you talk about sculpting this is the issue of that lace asset pestle not to make a pestle not to make something in the image. That is not just the image of God the image of a human being even we were careful not to do that. And therefore you could say that spilled over that bridge. There's that was always looked upon or frowned upon not to be involved in art on a very basic level because you're replicating something that is not the thing itself. And we always avoid doing that even making an image of something like similar to the beside me. There is not allowed and same thing with the human being who's creating the Divine image. So this was something that was avoided this does not mean just for the record. That making art is necessarily forbidden, even though there is discussion by different acronym and the matter. However, that is one of the main reasons but what's the logic behind it? The logic behind it is why we making art were replicating something for what purpose it could be a beautiful replication and it could be genius form of art when you're doing music and song is a way of serving God you're singing from your heart School Miss Olive song. An expression of the heart and soul so though art is also an expression song through an artist expresses a deep amount, but at the end of the day, it's not just a pure expression is the creation of something. Inseong is the expression itself expression can end up creating a song that people sing and they replicate that song the names middle sister all the songs that that David Lama lobsang to God and we sing as well. But an art the art itself is not itself a service will soon talk about whether you can use it for serving God but it itself is not a service. It can be an act of Genius. It can be a stroke of Genius. It can be beautiful. It could be inspired as well. But it doesn't he doesn't have quite the same type of expression some even say that when it comes to art art is really use Picasso's expression. He said art is the law and biggest lie that reveals a deeper truth because art is not real. It's always the artists version and rendition of something he said or she said but it reveals a deeper truth because the artist looks at something and looks deeper into it as will soon reading the moment from a rib is a letter on this topic. So the Effect of creating it is not so creating something that is as truth. It could be a beautiful rendition and it could reveal many things but it doesn't have quite that type of natural reaction of song singing a song so you could say you can say that even though it's true when it came to the mishkan there was the table is in the women that were crafts women and they were the Craftsman that were made to make everything beautiful and but that was not our that was creating actually materials that will be used in the, Michigan. But song The Levine's sang and compose songs. You don't find that. Someone said let's create art and hang up art in the in the Michigan or the base. I mean that so hang up art elsewhere to remind us of that because art is a replica that has some of the elements that can be seen as being a little off not the original and even trying to replace the original so I'm not going to suggest it's anything God forbid like idolatry, but it's that type of idea of creating something in the image of something else and that is Something that we always avoided doing and yet you find especially in the later years. We do find that art has become we have Jewish artists with jesusa artists and we have references to Art in different places, especially in letters of the debit. We have the story of the fleet the Culebra going to the museum in France where you three lessons with it, if he learned from the the Roberta shop with three lessons the three the lessons he learned from those three paintings and other elements like That so you see from that that it's not something that is not allowed to purchase art or not allowed to create art. Just talking about in comparison to song look at the syllabus the evidence so on so we have a few things from the rebbe on this topic, but I want to read another question on this topic before I go on in patches like through meant that seven others. The Taylor has all could have used pictures to better describe the Calum of the Michigan and close of the kohanim. The containers the vessels in the Michigan that the sanctuary and the close of the priests like we see in all the new promotion. Yes, they make these designs to make it easier to understand. Why is the lack of pictures in the preference to use words only what lessons that to us so that I would answer with the same idea with the what I just said right now now we use it today to help to be a teacher's aid to students a to be able to understand that makes obvious but the tailor itself should use pictures. It never used pictures even though you do find them. the time in different commentaries they sometimes will draw something but it's very rare and in between and it's not something that's commonly used the answer I would give is because I picture God created the human being in the image of God that's reserved to God to create pictures and images beyond that God is Beyond image and Beyond the lately other Hoover like do Sodom and we stay away from making a nuisance Alum of an image or likeness of any specially a human being but in general we say a away from that type of thing. So that's why the Taylor does not use pictures. It's text text describes idea and you have to use your second. You have to Envision it yourself again. That doesn't mean we can't use that as an aid, but it's not cool. Not originally. This is not the Tater approach to describing something. Okay. So now I want also recruit episodes one 2178 197 224 where I talked about art and music a bit as well. So now there's a few letters from the lever which set some light on this whole topic want to begin with a with a letter a letter or you keep this. Let me just see here. Here it was. Handle, Lieberman was a great facility artist oxidation his pocket and he had issues with reconciling art with especially the way artists taught and the school's you teacher and the type of environment where it's thought but that but barring that putting that aside he had his shoes. So he says and he does he said he tells a story one day many years ago. I came to the rebbe. The driver asked me he said how is your art coming along? So I answered I want to hold an exhibition and the rebel said, yes, sir. Yeah, of course you should each person on this Earth is a lot of the tasks. You have a talent use it use it to encourage Jews to return to their Judaism true in the old days painting was not considered an acceptable way to achieve the same today it is it is your way. So that's one thing we have in the UK this then we have a few letters and I'll just refer you if anybody wants these copies of these letters just send us your email address in the form because without your email address, we have no way of communicating contacting you and we'll send you the these these letters are copies of these letters. So just a selection of a few that I just looked at quickly in one letter that I was writing about art, and he's he quotes a Mr. Heimlich of lipshutz was an artist. The exhibition so is the rubber right? I've known him for many years. The point is that those who have been divinely gifted in art. I'm quoting now from a letter from Top Chef has fifth of kislev five seven to eight those who have been divinely gifted in art where the sculpture or painting and the like have the privilege of being able to convert an inanimate things such as a brush paint and Canvas OR wooden Stone into living form in a deeper sense. It is the ability to transform to a certain extent the material into spiritual even with the creationism still life and certainly with artistic work has to do with living creatures. And humans how much more so of the art medium is used to advance ideas, especially reflecting Toyota Mitzvahs, which would raise artistic skill to its highest level indeed. This is the ultimate purpose of the exhibition which hopefully will impress Inspire the viewers with higher emotions and concepts of you describe imbued with the spirit of Citizen make them to vehicles of disseminating users guide in their environment that particularly through the educational institutions. Okay, one letter. Another one is a letter actually it again to handle Lieberman. This is dated early on tough Shinu dolloff 24th of other two five seven eleven and here he was running a how he was depressed and you're not feeling it feeling down and the Debbie uses art, since you're an artist. Let me tell you a lesson as you surely are where the primary Talent of an artist is the ability to step away from the externally externalities of the thing and this regarding its out of form gays and sits in Earnest and perceive its Essence and to be able to convey this in his painting. Does the object is revealed as it has never been seen before since its inner content was obscured by secondary things the artist exposes the essence of the thing he portrays causing the one who looks at the painting to perceive it another true or light and to realize that his prior perception was deficient. This is one of the foundations of man service in his creators that have continues in the letter. So here again, you see that even though art was not used as a form of a veto session. But today the rebel saying it could be used and Rose already involved in it obviously should make an attempt to use it for kedusha and then one final letter from twenty fifth of seven tough shamans Ian five seven three seven. Talking about light and shade many pieces of the Fine Art involved an interplay of light and Shadow key elements in the composition of almost every artistic work and then it goes on to explain how light and Shadow is a reflection of a Taylor concept of using Darkness and Light in reflecting the truths of the Divine. So summing up and there's more summing up art and music and song are not exactly in the same level. That doesn't mean you can't use art. It's just like you can use mathematics. Mathematics was also known you not used by tato your mathematics and he'll cause a diversion. On other hello. His health was kid a shot. Hey - you need to know astronomy, but it's not the study of astronomy as an end in itself. It's part of those eyelashes. She could say same thing with the art music was of saved us - of evade evade. It's a shame traveling with a song The Levine composing the Governor David. I'm Malik writing a whole bit safer than seems mrs. Rawle tschida of tehilim and on and on and different songs art was never seen as such that does not mean that art cannot be used in that way one final thing this Personally remember ba de conduction Israeli artists was by the Deb and he talks about it in different interviews in Tulsa. Lambert has he wanted to make an exhibit. He didn't have wasted epitome to use the corner building the Kingston Eastland Parkway and there he made the exhibit and the leper said I will come to see it and then I became the second floor is 788 only time those of us that were in the building working. They were able to be 0 we were there and that ever went and commented on the art and the different reactions. Very fascinating actually one interesting thing about Equitable as far as an action if anybody's bought any of the art, this is when people hear the prize they faint the rubber smiled and said you should only do art for healthy people. Anyway, just as an aside. So they again you see the rebels using art and showing him lessons from it and obviously encouraging them to use a talent as the leather. So so so passionate in telling people to use your talent the fullest way possible way, and of course not just to create artists and art as an end in itself, but the way of reflecting a revealing deeper truths as I just read and of course in helping Eden and people in general to become closer to God and closer to the Tater and mistress So I hope I did Justice to the subject. Obviously. It's a large topic and never talked about it before so if anybody has any comments as feedback other sources from the debit or other places that I did not touch upon. I really would be really love to hear from you. And please send me whatever you have and I'll also of course at a of tella sobbing for the benefit of everybody as I'll share it on this program in future episodes. Let's go to the next question the next question. Is how should we relate to rabbis with different standards? Okay. So the one of the Rays this was a question that came in from different people different wording. I'll read one example, how should we relate as the bother to other Rabbi such as modern Orthodox, but the truth is the question as I said for many others is a broader one not necessarily categorizing any particular group. Just reading what this individual wrote it people with different standards. Should we be concerned with for example some what's our Rabbi that shaves or has different standards or differences in Castro's and culture. Should we Ask them how lucky questions if they're considered experts and all the barbecue drivers available. So obviously the barbecue is asking us. Should we invite them to give classes shoot him in are you shiva's how should we understand the rebel giving great covered to the god of soloveitchik, especially in light of our differences with for example all of Israel. So first of all, let me just make it very clear. I've never heard that when we solve a chick was against call this role and personally may have eaten all this law and I most likely did the question is whether all the students and others and they use the different atoms. I don't know that it's want to make sure since I'm writing reading the questions shouldn't be even though the question may be thinking this way. But as I want to just correct it for the record, so it shouldn't have come across the wrong way. Thank you very much because of generally I want to free two episodes 159 to 36 and 236 overall our attitude to everybody whether it's a rabbi or to individual is with obvious. Oslo is with love. We talk about rabbis the standard for Rabbi is of course, how long hello now in a locker we know itself. There are many rabbis have different standards in unlocked itself. As long as it's within the framework within them is get us within the context of legitimate how logic interpretation there is room for different interpreters. There are people who are more makeup. Well more lenient that people are more strict as long as it's within that framework as long as within that framework a rabbis are Abba. Yes Meera which means ordination and he has the knowledge and he has this image which is like residency that it has a residency or apprenticeship or whatever you want to call it. And then he's a practicing Rob is a practicing it of the moisture Feinstein was a great one of the greatest person that ever sent people think it was not a kebab. I think it was not above average. Slam is almond or back there were others many. So as long as you're talking about a legitimate Rabbi, that's the question. I'm not sure what the question is that attitude is with the Taylor says that you treat rabbis with respect. Now if you're saying it's a rabbi, that's not a locker a rabbi. That is breaking law. God forbid then by that definition is really not a rabbi is disqualified himself. Rabbi is not the title among get one was takes upon themselves. It's how they live up to the title. And the Taylor tells us she'll say what are the standards that's already beyond the scope of this. Russian hear this you have to go to the bottom you do trust we have laws and huncles marmoleum and other health workers that talk about what defines how Locker what is the category of a lock? Of course, you'll have some people say that Rabbi is gone outside of the pale and this Rabbi say that rabbis no good, but I want to stay away from politics and personalization. There are objective standards. What makes something a local just like Charmaine hill our disagreements, but it was both based on the you'd given me this return address has been the 13th methodology tape. ETA the principles the weight is applied and taught and and and and brought into into legal decisions. The same thing applies today, so to go now cause the board to start going to each Rabbi and saying here that Brad by fits. That's something that legitimate rabbis can be consulted. If there's a question if you hear about a rabbi whose you here is doing things that seemingly are dubious or questionable a lockley so you can look into it but always with with respect because you may not have heard right you may not have maybe he is basing it on something that doesn't mean it has to be your standard each one of us has to find out about him that way that we go bar stand there just because Somebody has a different standard doesn't make them outside of the category of a locker and the word labov ensure even though I understand where you're coming from, but we are Taylor people we're all coming from the same tailor tailor access to Kelowna one Taylor was given to us at Mount Sinai. Yes, there are 12 different tribes and total different applications and 12 different cavernous and many more. There are differences between women between between Spider-Man ashkenazim and within ashkenazim itself. There were different Cahill has different communities different. In Disguise different ways different forms of davening language and David and how much is it said how much is not set and each one has them and hug them and customers natto or not a pastor like River rivers that rivers that split and and Branch off into different ways. They're all within as long as they're all within that framework of theta. It's actually a beautiful it's a beautiful tapestry and Harmony of so many different now today, but when he made the see that it says that he took from a hundred different student in disguise. And made the news of them so bad that doesn't delegitimize other new Skies, obviously, once you follow something you have to follow it and the rebels very keen that when people became the habad hassidim that they should maintain their customs and maintain their garments and the maintain the levels whether it was the Moroccan boy children students or was from other cities, she cries and other cities and communities. Why because there's a Holiness to customs now, we're not we're talking about black white black white Taylor mitzvahs. Even in her locket self you have to film that. I've been a time. You've filmed over a she we talked about this last week that diversity as long as it's within the framework, then that's it stated period what Stan did you should choose that's already up to your Euro sham. I'm where you are talk to your love and create and determine where you want to be what you grew up with and so on but that doesn't take away from the validity of what their abundant and as I said if its own was none that structural framework another story different discussion altogether Okay, as far as quality slow, I spoke about this a number of times and that I refer you to other episodes. I don't even have them here because I wasn't going to speak about it next question considering the rebel refusing to receive a new car as a gift. What should our attitude be to receiving gifts. The rabbi Jacobsen I saw a video of the Rebel refusing a new car as a present. Yes. It was a video going around with a debit of the new car that ever came out of 770 and weighed in the way that they wanted. All Carney said saying in my tongue to see if here someone who despises gifts shall live and the rabbit has refused to go into that car until they brought the old car was the debit not aware of this present meaning gift until he came outside and saw it. Also aren't we taught us? It has to use out everything for a shame when we're doing when do we Draw this line the line. Should I not should I not take presents gifts from others from people? Okay, I don't know all the details of the story. I sorted your most people saw. I don't know that I was told beforehand. It appears to me. He wasn't because he would have said it that why was he beerus anyone? Why would he do anything like that in public seems to me it was a surprise because surprise gift which I think may add to the equation because of course that ever did receive gifts people gave the Deborah things and he took them. Not everything but there were things that he took I just was reading somewhere about talk about artists. There was an artist who came with different types of art to that I better and they wanted to give the rebel that I've asked him is this for me say said the devil wants something and I'm says it looked at them I think was one one piece of art that I ever wanted then he asked him. Is this an original this is the original say said, I don't want an original send me a copy make a print of it and send me a print the point is that ever did take gifts whether was - Forum or other things. He always gave some money for it. Well, maybe that could be the reason because he didn't want to take a pure gift because there is that standard but to say that not to take gifts. We know there's a concept of a mountain in Taylor people give a Madonna. And a maternal not always we repay it. We can but there's no Cloud. Now, of course the debit had a standard as his own standard. Maybe the higher standard was sent him a ton of see here. And that's obviously not just commendable that ever standard in this case, you know, you can argue that besides the gift was also the surprised you're not being told and sorry that I was getting a new car and was not like something without maybe it was not just maybe that episode not as respectful even but he did say the same amount honest. He didn't just say didn't tell me why don't you tell me but it's hard to know. And up his mind it's hard for us to speculate. So what do we learn from it? That's the bottom line what we learned from it to say that we should never take a gift from anybody because that ever did that look if you're such a more cushion and you could stand on such a standard that you just never take gifts. I am not going to tell you to take gift, but I don't know. That's the lesson we have to learn from it. Are we on that my draga and and there's so many other things we should be doing before maybe that so I think it's Case by case if it's a gift. Left we're just an Indulgence then obviously, we should have higher standards. If it's a gift. Somebody is a kindly giving you a gift. They give you give a constant a gift to someone so the cousin College shouldn't take these gifts. It's a really meaning you slow. I'm going to give a gift that evam self got gifts at his wedding. So I think it understands Cinema Tunisia is also needs to be qualified. It doesn't because it cannot contradict the fact that we have a whole Susan Yamada about the in the layout via inland. About giving gifts to people Exodus brings it as well that if a person is not pleased to another person. They won't give them a gift and we have a taters called Montana and you Lucia and gadol and all the different things but none is a legitimate as aspect and Taylor and how lockers Health has Martinez Martinez Slovenian etcetera Etc. So we have the concept of a gift. So the Pacific is clearly talking about someone who's just taking something without effort without earning it and in a way like an indulgent think so this is this Augustine difference volume and I'm not going to go into all the details. So I think that the standard for each one of us has to be discussed with the much beer and determine where you stand and what kind of gift that we talking about. If it's a give just indulge or to give the person a kind person to turn and tell and turn and say here I am throwing you back a gift is also not a cordial thing to do, you know, maybe take the gift. You don't want to indulge in it. Don't use it or use it for a different thing but not to just throw give back and someone's face is also not appropriate. So I think Suspect on Case by case and I don't know if you can take the story with it up as a blanket approach that we reject all gifts that come our way. It's also the famous story with our base of travel all of us Harlem when the rebbetzin gave him a chocolate after he helped her carry the bags upstairs. He said that person, you know, and the other she said that come from axes home and I was they taught not to take pay from for doing a favor to a Jew. And especially from the rebbetzin and the rabbits are smart and said, I think I also I assume I also come from his home and as they told that when you're given something you take it, especially a good chocolate. So again, I'm not saying this is a directive but it's also an interesting way of looking at things that not everything has to be rejected just because it's a gift so things have to be done with context. And with with moderation is how I would put it if anybody has any more comments on this I welcome them. It's another topic. I have not spoken about you know, people have asked me the questions are new questions coming in. I said, you know something very interesting lie because they say how many how many more episodes can you do? Honestly, I didn't know we'd go so long. I don't know how and I thought it would be a few weeks a few months. And then you run out of questions you run out of audiences. The audiences have grown. The questions are growing. Their questions are very very original like these ones. I've never addressed them. So the me to me that's a good sign that people are personally invested in this and actually asking questions on their heart and when you're talking questions in your own personal life, I think questions go on and on life does not end and questions don't end so we will continue in that context. Okay, if anyone has I said comments on this Please share next question, why are older singles look down upon? So this is a recurrent topic that yes, I have addressed and I'll refer to some previous episodes. But since the question comes up time and again, so let me just address it and refer you to times I've spoken about in the past. Hi, dear up semen my question for you. Today is our older singles worthless. Do they have any value and why is our community so marriage-based? Why? If you are an older single, you're treated like trash and subhuman. Okay, there you go. Uncensored so firstly I what you just read if anybody treats anybody this way, it's their problem. God forbid God forbid a human beings created by God every person who deserves and should the treated with the Vault most dignity and respect and honor and the contrary if somebody is an older single, you know what they're going through. I'll tell the nurse have a I should take Dylan came don't ever judge someone without being in their shoes. Amador have a damn cold Autumn the cops cause you have to always find somebody to have screw shaft always look at the merits and so on. So this attitude is absolutely this obnoxious and disgusting and in no way am I going to even try to attempt to explain that I'm going to explain behavior that that is not explainable. That's inappropriate. But since you're right it I'm reading it because there are people that behave that way and it's completely not a pack of hot potato agami completely. They want to help you as it up and let them find the shooter and so How do they know what you're going through if you're older single, maybe you're suffering so they should have even more compassion to look at you as worthless. I mean, I just I'm appalled not that I haven't heard of it before but I'm appalled and I'm stating it for the record. Question worthless value. What kind of soil is that? What's not even it's not even a have a mean. Otherwise no consideration. And anyone treat slap someone like trash and subhuman is themselves that way. Not appropriate behavior period so let me just make that clear. Secondly. I want to refer you to episodes $14.99 one 2263 268 and 269. I discussed this at length in different contexts of the way people are treated question. Someone asked of you. I think the later episodes was that people constant say to me I should have by you and they insensitive type of way of communicating. So again, all the insensitivity all type of behavior. This is absolutely appropriate Now of course a community has a standard and the standard is they'd like to get everyone married off at the young age of the early 20s. I'm talking now about at least and someone starts getting older. Yeah, they become stigmatized. I don't think it's appropriate because again people we don't know what people go through everyone has their challenges but this is the sad side of any type of like I would say ghetto mentality or narrow mindedness of any Community they have their Isn't anything that stands out is uncomfortable. So unfortunately, some people will stoop the behavior. That's a completely inappropriate the rest of us have to look at ourselves and say, you know, what, of course, we'd love to have our children married a certain age would love to have everybody married and that and everybody's happy but some people have challenges whatever they may be and we don't know what they are. And even if you know someone your own family, you know that they are maybe the problem even if that's the case. It's still not a resistor vacation to look down and be condescending or in any way destroyed. Missive people there's a lot of these I'm shammes. Why should we demoralize them more than they already demoralized? Due to their status meaning they want to be married. So if you want to be of help find ways in is sensitive refined ways to help people definitely not this behavior and I talked about this at length. So from my point of view, it doesn't matter what age you are. You're God's child your love not just retired after the commercial. You're a human being you're a mensch. And yes, you have everybody has their trajectory. And what about people are married in their marriage isn't going so well. So we're also going to start we're going to start looking at each other and whose life exactly cannot be Under the microscope and come out perfect. So we have to learn that we have to be a little more sensitive creative shells a good month for introspection and that matter it's very easy to become judgmental to become dismissive condescending frankly. I see that as one of the terrible middest. It's mither mither raw. It's an evil feature in human being a characteristic. It's something we have to fight if you want to analyze it judgmentalism and condescension is usually comes from insecurity. Now coming from so news on such a high level and they just can't tolerate anything. That's not on that pure standard. They have their own issues and in a way some people even the somewhat like I don't want to say celebrate other people's misery, but it makes maybe takes away from focusing on their own challenges and problems. I don't want to go down to psychoanalysis. I'm only saying it because it's despicable and we have to do everything to eliminate it. And yes, it's usually it's usually My 99.9 but I would say a hundred percent not coming from do shh? Coming from a bad place. Well, we have to think about every time you say something to somebody be sensitive mother Allah Sunny La Vela Savvy that which you dislike don't do it on another viewer in that person's shoes. And you were single or some other challenges you have would you like someone to look at you like that? This is called working on yourself. And that's the coming to the lowest common denominator where we become like where we become what we behave in ways that are not appropriate for human being for a June definitely for its element of Kim to behave. And those that aren't the situation hopefully can find friends and support to get through it and finally find their should look in may this be the month of April is the month of Hassan has a month of Consciousness and engagements for all of you and hopefully we can do something to eliminate this the this scoured of so many singles but men and women and finally everyone getting married and happily married and so on and do everything possible to help them, okay? next why is it more cities being translated and made accessible to the mainstream? Okay, this is a question close to my heart. But I've had several different questions came in this context. I'm going to read one actually uses a personal one about a colleague and friend of ours all of our solemn that passed away this past year. So this came in much earlier few months ago, but nevertheless still relevant, but it touches upon this topic and other topics. So let me read it as is. I usually try to avoid mentioning names. But in this case I will make an exception for obvious reasons hide up Simon. I would like to speak to you today about Robina often all of our solemn in the context of a hyena Liberty means the living shall take to heart first. I want to say that whether you liked the Vienna or not. He was a raft wailing man man with full of action. He accomplished a lot. So I think we all need to continue his work. I want to go through some of the things he was involved with and everyone can get involved in those areas to some degree. Number one should do him all the NOS should and could get involved in Shadow come especially in light of the shooter challenge either on a smaller scale or in a larger scale, especially since his son said at the chelation that the shidduchim project is open for grabs and this of course follows up the cam the the previous question. Yes. Absolutely. Let's not become judgmental and critical. Let's take it all and become part of the solution not part of the problem and try and find ways to help the should do and people who need to do him start thinking. Out that would be a beautiful way of taking your whatever you've done and how to behave in your reactions to singles negative reactions. If anyone has such a thing and turn it into a positive thing of becoming a force of change and growth and helping build should do that's a beautiful lesson. Number two is been said that a be any did many acts of Hazzard discreetly that besides it sure ducking besides they should do so, I think we can all increase in acts of kindness starting with a small Act of being kind to our fellow by saying hello to our neighbor. Her and being more welcoming to a newcomer in shul. till when we are going to exclude people from our Inner Circle because they don't fit our mold or because of their status is below the law our dignity to talk to them negating that attitude obviously don't you think you have a pretty fragile self-esteem? If you can't speak to someone who doesn't fit your high status, so to eliminate that and start welcoming everyone saver point of my office with a smile completely acceptable. Excellent lesson number two and three last but not least. I want to talk about the Translating. Of course, it has about into English, which was one of our beings biggest projects. I didn't want to talk about this but since you spoke about this in the last Weeks that Taylor is not copyrighted. So I allow myself to say the following all there are being translated tremendous amount still most of the city. This is still is not yet translated up cinnamon. I've similar I want to ask you this take for example, the translation of the Tanya was completed in the late 60s since then 50 years of past wise and Teta eight on the quantitative translated already. Well parts are just for the record. We have to remember that the Deb I believe in the decade of the 80s is basically printed all of this fun of of that. I'll beim don't you think that ever deserves we should make an effort translating all of us in this Chabad starting with the classics from each tribe. I know I know it's thinking big but I think the Rabbids You quoted in the last few weeks episodes 246 through 248 letters of the free the connector and the rebel saying that the printing of see this Kebab belongs to course, but how about the translation of us it is does that belong to God or citizen English as well? What I would like to suggest up Simmons is that lets say that the translator synthesis in the domain of certain entities shouldn't they allow younger light to our Nana Slickers, but are very gifted and know how to look through this and to translate and the fundraiser as well shouldn't a premier permitted should They be permitted to do so. She is now so your points are all well taken and I for one I'm the biggest advocate of the more the merrier of translating citizen. Yes, I'll be in and did a great service that hundreds of books that he did his son today up smoothie and they should they be successful in continuing this work including broadening in the translation of Delta divisional Canada and other works of the rebellion, and that will help of course tremendously help the learning of it for those that don't know the Hebrew or even though that don't know. All the Hebrew so I can't say enough about doing everything possible to translate and disseminate and reach Exodus to the mainstream. I would go a step further. The biggest challenge I see is not just translating but translate in a language that can be accessible. Not just the people who know the framework already accept the ideas, but even the people who have never heard of these ideas, we have millions and millions of people out there that to me is even a greater tragedy that hasn't been translated and made accessible. All to that large large mainstream audience because I have no doubt that if it was it would make a revolution true evolution of your foot so many soccer Hood sir. I can go on and on about this but time is limited. I think what matters are coming over this small of this short talking about it with the right emphasis and the write expressions. Hopefully make the point and drive the point home. Okay, so thank you for that next question. Did the rabbit ever discussed Jewish extremist attacks against Palestinians? And what is the proper way to view followers of borrowing Goldstein but are ghosts in was sewn who killed in medicine medicine machpelah and seven and a whole bunch of Muslims are Arabs years back and there. Yeah, I don't recall the debit directly speaking about Jewish extremists. To be honest. That doesn't mean that it didn't like she might think that I have someone has sources with the liver may have spoken about it whether in Fabrications or in your head. This or and letters and so on and so on. Please make me aware and I'll be happy to share that I could say that we know that AB is approach in general to car noise and zealots. Is that a lock approach extremism and terror is not acceptable in this context Pinnacles was the is shallon and that's one exception what he behaved but it's not something that you can just go and follow that and behave like that. There's a process and there's a way Taylor does things but that can am without you saw him from the so-called hold a drug addict and a in the ways of Taylor are Pleasant and all its paths are peaceful. And that's where the dead are always emphasized even a much slighter things that when you present something never with mega. Well not with males meaning that sharp not critical not attacking always in a pleasant way. So I have no doubt if the issue of extremism and maybe they're additive want to be greatest. It didn't even want to recognize it. for sure that type of approach of killing other people Even if they're your enemies, I don't think that ever would condone or Advocate that no question in my mind. Now after the fact that doesn't mean you have to go make him a martyr Baruch Goldstein he did what he did and unfortunately was imprisoned appropriate. I can't see that Evergreen and definitely not becoming Advocates of that type of behavior. I never would have believed that I would say that so I don't think that we can in any way condone and support the Bigger followers of Cobra Goldstein or other such type of extremists. It's not the Taylor way. It's not the way we do things. That's what I have to say about this topic. And even though that ever was very adamant obviously about the stalker managed to stall but he never allowed it to be public strikes and to come out publicly and in demonstrate against the Israeli government because it didn't want to give feed any enemies that I ever wanted to influence from within that influence that they themselves should change their positions, but not through through doing things against them or attacking them or undermining them boycotting. Another thing that I was always against that so that tells you a long enough. So there's that's not compromise the deposition questions how to challenge something you don't agree with you don't do it through violence and you don't do it through gressive aggression and through other forms of of attacking the other party. There's many ways to do it. That was the key thing the way that ever did it that distinguish the debit from others without Anyway, minimizing the position that I've ever had on these matters. Okay next. So we have to follow see here. So first of all, it's a bunch of follow-ups. I'm going to do right now in episode 2 73 I was speaking about half of so I misspoke. I spoke to about a beautiful powerful sick of the devil talks about himself where he learned to we're it from his gives you the anchor sir when he was a child in his father's home young man is father's home. So I quoted I said you're out of this Interruption Lambert S. I want to correct. It its cough of tough genomic tests. See if some of you want to look it up in the honoka. So that's just a correction as a second someone asked about space launch. I recall you mentioned this one one of your programs. Can you please let us know where my question is? What do we learn from Israel launching a spacecraft today? So this was written a while ago today meaning back in February. So I don't recall speaking about Israel launching my maybe maybe I don't remember myself a speaking about I did speak about the 50 years from landing on the moon and episode 269 the first manned lunar Landing in July 1969. And July 2019. I spoke about it in episode 269. Okay, and the final follow-up is actually, two more two more male must be uh, yeah, so I was talking about being a male must be a for women. So someone points out concerning your last talk on to the supply 274. I asked the Debonair he does who should be my my spear that ever told me my teacher who he named should be my match beer. I am female and my Mashpee is male. I asked it up again another hit us and the rebels still wanted this person to be my Mash beer. This person is a rap is Rabbi alter medsger. I was very surprised to hear from people now that Must be should be the same gender as the person asking. So yes, I spoke about it. And remember there's much beam in his much beam. There's a my spear that's like a row of A more senior veteran position so raava because our office usually going to be a male but that's different than I must be sure that your speaks about all your most personal intimate matters. And I think that's that's one that major distinction between the two also depends who the individual is and there are exceptions and yeah, but generally speaking it's healthier same gender must be him that stand by that and I don't think it's a contradiction to what you are quoting. Okay, one more Up is kaffir for pregnant women last week's episode 274. It must be a one was episode 248 just for the record and and 274. Okay, you recently addressed the issue of ask a few for a pregnant woman that was last week as a mother. I was made aware of the gemara that mentions that when a mother eats that which her body craves during pregnancy her baby will eat. Well after birth having had the experience of infants who had a very difficult time eating. Well, this seems to be a significant Point I do not have the gemara source handy. My apologies parenthetically interestingly. There's a discussion of this form of this from a nutritional medical Vantage Point as well. So I spoke last week about his coffee of pregnant women that a pregnancy itself. Is this kawhia and thank you for pointing it out the Gomorrah. I would say if you heard that is the mission of famous Mission and humor pay based on the Oliver could be there's another good morning getting maybe or others have someone in know something more please share button. And in Yuma pay based on all of the famous mission that a woman. I am Kipper smells food pregnant woman. I should say pregnant woman says she craves it. So it says that you have to give it to her because it's going to affect her and the pregnancy and her child which we derived from that that her craving. Obviously we're giving it to help the child and then goes a whole discussion about Yom Kippur in about kosher not Kosher and how to do it and so on but that's a basis that are pregnant woman. Yes, her craving has an effect and that's why the hell ah who reckons with it. There may be more on this topic, but thank you for pointing that out and it's a really somewhat somewhat tangential to what I spoke about. But but thank you for completing the record okay with that. We are going to go now to the see this question. See this question. Is that question the end of peda craft test and Tanya? Woman male enough Lassiter acronym short of the glory of God susruta. So let's first table it says in tiny and then I'll read the question. This person is asking in time you pay the Crafters out there ever addresses the issue. Now, let's say after all that everything you do. You can't muster up the energy to be able to do anything with your yetzer Hara with you never shop, Amis. What could you do? The nervous Obamas is blocking your ability to love God to serve God properly and so on. the language of Delta debe Yes, so the plumbing the eating Ramen there many times. They have Tim Tim. I love the the heart is blocked comes like a stone and he cannot open it but shoe Maven Nevada shibboleths wood filler to service of the heart, which is Dominique. So he says what's the eights of the ETA is Beatrice was British. He brings in Isaiah that sometimes when you want to get the Sparks to fly the flame to catch in a piece of wood. That's like a block of wood that just resistant. You have to strike it and he goes on to speaking about how you have to like be little and humiliate that part of the an animal Soul. That's what he goes on to say and when you do that that itself will reveal the real and one of that's inside of a person That's the gist of it. I mean it's a little deeper than that. Obviously I'm being just superficially just reviewing it. But then he says before I get to the end of The Paddock he says and by doing that just a moment and recognizing goes deeper that recognizing what how do you do it by recognizing and saying the never tsubame should just blocking the light of godliness the truth of godliness in my life. And by recognizing that it's a darkness that wants to be eliminated that alone breaks the resistance. That's the point and the real Godly Soul gets revealed. So then at the end of the pay the exalted ever says that this is really more for tuition paid in the parser Medallion what happens the miraculous comeback and they give a very bad report about it's all just going to use the language of the alphabet. okay, and they cause the whole nation to get to begin to also begin to cry and just a minute, please. They get the whole nation to also feel that way. So what happens next here? Come on, come on Schmidt to those in the footage the Taylor. They didn't believe they said cause it women. I'll take him they say, how's it comin this this this Israel this Promised Land the stronger not just stronger than us stronger than God. They didn't believe in God's possibility and then suddenly you hear that. They change once they hear the the the that motion abandon got some gets angry at them and promises that they will not enter it to throw other. Change of mind and alternative said suddenly House of amla Hidden Valley know here we are and we want to go up there. It's a slow. So I'll turn up it has a Mayan closet Obama money be held from where suddenly did return to them the faith in God's God's potential moisture do show them any miracle. They were just yelled at. And to say the yelling did it is not enough because they didn't believe in God's power so suddenly because God said you care that you can't go intention. So that will that they will believe in style today Vance is because they were really my meaning blame my meaning before they really have Interfaith. It's just that then after shave balm is the outer blocked it somebody yelling which means like putting them down and showing them how this this resistance to God Is So despicable and so anti everything that's true. It revealed a moon. That's the general gist of it. So it's a lie. It was out there episodes and Tiny. So the questioner asks if the Moroccan became my minam and and remember that ever points out. It's not just the monogamy even in general. They became my minimum now suddenly as the alternative points out how why is it they didn't listen to God again and wanted to go up without permission because what is the positive say afterwards? It says, yes, they said they want to go up now. They're too slow. They had a change of heart, but then right afterwards the six says The plastic says that God said no, you can't go. So again, they're defying God. So how's the alter rebbe saying? This is a night that they really got to going up there to sell was not necessarily a positive thing. So the answer if you look inside the suit Kim and this is different people about how commentaries on Tiny explain that even though. It sounds that what they complain to go potential saw was not coming from a positive place. Because Hashem said Mason told him to the gods rotten in the Bazooka. I'm just saying positive men bathe them delete them and hey that God said it's not yet time for you to go up. So number one. They didn't know that when they said we want to go they had he said is true. That's number one before they said it was too powerful for us. Now they want to go so they didn't know that God would say no, it's not the time yet. So the only reason they did say it was because of their Munna but there's an additional point they did it beside the moon in Hashem and it a high my Cottage on the Pacific there. Mem Dallas says that the fact That's after they mutineer against God now. They wanted to correct it to trust God and decide with faith. That's why they said let's go Tara too slow. And the good morning shop is that siding Zion Olive says they were not called real machine showing Amish. And there's a form of this is nefesh actually ready to go Terraces. Also there was a change of heart it wasn't meant to because that's not what they burst I wanted but as far as the altitude above the proof for he wants to bring out its intact because this was not defying God was their intentions were good intentions and it was that they didn't even yet here that God said don't go yet. So that's the answer to your question. But thank you for that. And this is of course a form you could ask any questions. I'll see this we always dedicated the end of the program before the asa's questions Exodus and now Go to the three essays. This is all from essay contest 2019.

MyLife is brought to you by the Meaningful Life Center as a public service, free of charge.
