Welcome to my life to the supplied episode 283. Being that tonight and tomorrow is Huff husband the birthday the beginning of the hundred and sixtieth birthday of the Deborah Sharp. So we'll be focusing on that. It's also met Hashanah Centennial a hundred years of the out of the lab Richard's historical stuff for a Spate of shinpei five, six eight. Oh five seven zero and the day of business. This program is especially dedicated by it's called Malaya and rivka. We could buy throttle and their children Ruth Cole and Michael and especially in honor of the Rebel rishab. Before we get into it. Let me just make a few announcements. There's some new developments. So the request of many of you we tried to have my life's has applied on every possible platform. We have it on YouTube. We have it on other podcasts. You can subscribe to the anyway, it's all free now. We've also added WhatsApp. So if you'd like to subscribe to Whatsapp was receive the notice each week and be able to move actually view it on your phone text the word subscribe to nine seven three nine three six nine five seven two again text subscribe to nine seven three nine three six nine five seven two as I said, this is an addition to other platforms. With that said let me make another housekeeping announcement because the question that some people have asked asked about where can they find my life's to the supplied? So he'll let me read the question. Although thank you so much for your weekly classes. There are perfect for what our generation needs and I really appreciate it. This is my first time writing a question. What was on my mind for a little bit? I understand now that there's another Chabad website and as dot org and wondering why you do not hear their from what I read up this Says indoors by robbing him and follow certain guidelines as opposed to other websites, which reminder standing is not after the whole Open Mic episode. I felt somewhat uncomfortable going on to other websites on the other hand. I saw that you constantly are your weekly classes. They're giving me in my mind that the website is really fine. Well, I'm not in the position of rahbaniya. I will just say the following we spoke about it back then we broadcast. Anything on YouTube and it's all embedded on our site instead of supply.com. Now if you know technology today, you can embed that anywhere. So whether it's one website or another website and as dot org receives and other other websites receive this feed and they can add their discretion post it. So if you really want them to post it, I would encourage you to speak to them. We don't have control who's going to post it who's not going to post it. So we put it out there it's available as I said and many many platforms and Website on Earth can frankly take the YouTube link. It's called a an embedded link that's linked into the site and they can see that and you can view it there live or archived. So that's one also mention. I don't want to get into decisions of these type of things websites and so on my position on the matter is every website is a is a perfect platform for spreading citizen. You described obviously their websites that are hypocrite era and It's but one shouldn't go to all together. But in general the more you can spread the better it is and that's the way that's why technology was created for that purpose. Okay, that's just an opening and with that I say as well. So the supply.com is our unique and exclusive website for this program. And for other related resources. It's a new site relatively there. You can also ask any question that you'd like to ask a completely anonymously on the Forum there as well as view archived programs. As well as all the essays from all the years of the essay contest plus as I said other resources. So with that let's go to Huff casual have Cashman V Chabad Rabbi Deborah Sharp from The Bell the son of the middle son of the Rebel marash so was born at half husband the year tough risk of olive. So this would be the beginning of the hundred and sixtieth year of the Deborah shop. I take the cue from the Devil Himself and tough shit men, which was the beginning of the huh. In 20th year that are burp spoke at length about a hundred and twenty years even though it would really tough shit Mama love would be the end of the day the real hundred and twentieth birthday, but the beginning of it begins now, so that's a milestone as I mentioned. It's also the fact that this year is a centennial when the debit the Centennial of any of that are beIN some excited can't of Shanghai evolved the same with the other eye beam. But remember this was a major milestone. So this year you can say is a very unique career connected to the Lebanon shop. Of course closer Home and Away all that. I've been my close to home but closer to our generation the Rebels the sea is 70 years ago tough Chanute and the river Afridi kateb assume leadership again a hundred years ago. So you have a hundred years 70 years and other Milestones that hundred and sixty beginning of the hundred and sixtieth birthday. So let's talk about that a brush a bit, especially that the concept of To the supplied my legs to the supplied that MBA shot plays a key role, of course in the dissemination of students but one that eberron shop is called the Llama facilities as the physical web explains because like the damn bomb. He took color Terry took hold on targeted and organized it in very accessible and user-friendly way is a my words, but that's the gist of it that have been adopted the same all the struggles of cities that altitude above course established and developed. By the mid layer abandoned some exotic Nanda Maharaj the rubber sharp gathered all together not just gathered but explained it and especially the to him Shake him some involve and even more so and I am base and what is the theme of I am base Cassatt as it's somewhat exotic said when the leper Richard was born that to cast to cast two levels of custard cough husband officer shot a viscosity the 20th of husband and the year to flourish cadfael of which is also spelled kisser. Which in Aramaic acid with an olive ever met Kirsten is kisra kiss Lila the two levels of cassette as the lab explains the very powerful seeker and but Shabbos passerby yadav has Interruption ma'am Zion, which is printed already in edited by the devil and say for a secret stuff. She remembered Zion he explains that length the connection between the two buttons brief the whole point. Of course, it has the whole point of Kabbalah. The whole point of Taylor you can say is to be an interface is to teach us. How to interface between the Divine and existence and this is the central theme of I am base that begins with cassette and throughout the Hampshire has said is the operative word which the kabbalistic term for interface for. Mimosa Mimosa between inside of and LM house and the brain that is always Maja - it was a big argument among the cabal. Mm that is documented and collected by the remark the most record the video and parties. She has a whole gate a char. That's cold in McKesson who are in stuff is Kessel ends of their workable is that felt it is ends of their companies that felt it's not this is explained in by a look some of which is based on momentum of the Civil Society based on the altar. That was my money. But someone said they can irritate in yharnam now printed is the basis of a look some evolve and explains this disagreement the comes that he's out and he's McCrea. He reconciles and says cast it up both elements test it as attic and I think is ends of the chain of events of the words of the result. The lower level of ends of and add it is rationed it solid the beginning of the emanations of the ten spheres of Achilles, but they're both within custard. That's what the ideas. I was Maja - why is this so relevant? Because in the interface of our divine with existence that dilemma is at some point God is ain't soft and even beyond the ends of existence is absolutely has a soft. We have a we have rameters and definitions. It defined limited world. So, how did can these two ever meet? So if s is a nice soft, we meet unto Customs answer about in some way. We have to shed that the personality that for the different defined and limited personality of existence if Jesse's night not in stuff. So then we tackle connect to a Divine Dimension but not to the highest levels of the Divine because casted is one of one of the shooters. Comes that is Allen says no, both are true. We can connect on both levels. We have the answer fanatic and we have the connection to existence in Arabic comes the debit rishabh in Hampshire cream base. And since we're just gonna brush up were honoring him with a piece of iron Bay's or he explains and ask the question, but the question is not fully answered. We're at taken out of meat question only carries over because I think anodic of I think represent sense of the infinite Divine that's called a Transcendence and added too far. It represents existence imminence where the two meet and The Liberation elaborate powerful way explains the concept of my custom. Oh, mr. Ma that there's the supra-conscious intelligence that that connects Attica. Not it because it travels between not economical has two levels and that's how we ultimately connect that through human beings imagination and a human beings mind. We can transcend our own emotional subjectivity and connect to something which is beyond. And us without annihilating ourselves and then we channel that into our imminent into our paninis. So basically cusses are Markieff, but in the market itself is the two levels there's one that's a Transcendence that relates to existence and I transcended as Beyond and hot mr. Ma which is the super conscious intelligence within each of us and also in the higher world makes that bridge If you want to learn more about it to go into I am base you going to the middle of Valium one where he talks about this basically the chapters 340 350 in those chapters so that the British are born on cough husband in the year kisra himself his date of his birth both the date of the month and the year reflects the essence of what he came to explain which is essence of all of considers that I'm of cities to bring the two together. The two levels of cancer which in essence brings together existence under Divine what it means in our personal lives is even if we in our mundane World in a mundane pedestrian lives were able to connect to the highest levels of transcendence without annihilating our personality and our existence how to do so of course has the entire evade of work of a person climbing the ladder the Stepping Stones through the entire Sensational sews from the lowest levels all the way up to the highest, but that Fusion is possible. Oh and the fullest possible way and as you learned especially in I am Bay's you learn exactly all that stepping stones and all the different interfaces of how we achieve that so here we honor the birthday of the Rebel Richard a hundred beginning of the hundred and sixtieth birthday. And in the year of the Centennial may have shown a hundred years from his tacos that what do we honor is what he taught us see this gave us the tools the issue is that that if little clever and the debit continue to develop and actually turn into a After collection plan of taking the highest levels of divine and bring them into existence and allowing us to relate to those levels. The second thing that I better shape did among many things but we'll just stick the two main ones is they start disastrous establishment of temperate Amendment essentially a breeding ground a training ground for an army Muhammad's base David. He ate some hums bass David an army, but not an army that would fight a physical War but a spiritual war. A war that would bring Judaism and the dynamic and passion and excitement of Yiddish kite in a relevant way to all corners of this world, which is the essence of your foot so many subtle whoosah spreading the Wellsprings to the outer side outskirts. And with the debit did was take the soldiers the men and women that educated in the education system that the Deborah shop initiated in time commitment and turned that blueprint of creating an interface as the letter says in the first my muscles are But you Clara Calum that I've run went around and showed everyone that Garland the world is really a Godly place. That is the mission. So we both have that philosophical and psychological underpinnings of it into this meaning the Scruff of the present the ideology of it and then also the implementation with the Yeshiva which actually trains and educate students to take this ideology and turn it into a practical. Urkel blueprint of practical application that each of us can live by each another on level and prepare the world from this year. And this is what we honor. Now I've spoken about how it has been in previous years and I'll give you some cross-references. I know for those that are listening podcasts and so on it may be difficult, but I still want to do cross references in case you want more information and those aren't episodes 88 138 187 and 233. So husband represents very powerful key date in the evolution and the development of a citizen especially in giving us the tools to do what we have to Pushing our mission and hence the connection to the supply my life has applied taking the debit our shop how we took all the cities channeled it and of course to the words of the 3D kadapa, and of course the debe the data she language that we can then now translate and present the people of all walks of life, even though that may not have all the background and knowledge and information and the deepest levels being that the question came and connected to debit our shop. Those are topic. I've talked It about but someone asked the question, so let me just quickly refer you to where I discussed it. This is the question about Debra shops visit the Sigmund Freud. I heard that the Deborah Sharp one spoke to Sigmund Freud was the Deborah shops. It has influenced by his meeting with Freud or any other psychological psychologist or philosopher. We know that the rambam was influenced by Aristotle. Is it also true that modern Jewish ideas are influenced by modern philosophers. Okay. So there's two parts to the question. First of all regarding the Deborah schadenfreude. I spoke about at length A number of times in episodes 91941 91942 address this detail as well. But I just want to make reference here like this that I obey him Arte de Taylor does not need not out of style and not Sigmund Freud and not any other thinker and philosopher to base its ideas. Nevertheless. Hakama blame Tommy there is call from Bagram. That's why you find in his little skittish operators that we use calculations at the Greeks or others made. Medicine developments in medicine astronomy and so on because there are humming there and there with wise people and therefore you can derive from it. But that is also part of how God planted his wisdom everywhere. But especially when it comes to our scoff of philosophy. No, we do not take Philosophy from from there there you could talk about medicine you can talk about astronomy astronomical mathematics astronomical calculations, but when it comes to our school food to our perspective on life, that's what Haters take this time. Now the fact that somehow come in the world Jewish or not. Jewish may have fallen upon certain ideas. I would say the other way around they took it from Taylor that is direct consciously or not consciously, but the ideas were planted into the world through Terra Nova de Elam and then therefore made it easier and there are people who articulated in a very powerful way I trade ideas. So I would not say that the Debra shop was influenced by Freud, especially when you know the details of the story when they're first pitch, specific reason connected to nerves connected to his hand and so on his arm and that and in Freud's advise them which I don't want to go into now because there's what we need when we want to use the time well, but look at those other episodes where I discuss it in detail, so no is not influenced that does not mean that we cannot read and see sometimes ideas that have parallels and sometimes language but the core idea is obviously all come from a tailor our approach from either Revelation or from the sacral of theta That I-beam and allcock meet Tommy the common throughout the generations and ages derive from but at the same time they come on it talks about up here and others who went to Shepherds and others to study because in order to figure out wasn't a do you need to know the nature of sheep the nature as I said astronomical calculations a native in mathematics physics and other things so there is that using it that ever has a very beautiful letter. It's printed in the cutest little Calico bass volume 12 in the his office station we talk Us about the different levels how association between Taylor and directed and how Taylor derive something from the wisdom of the so-called Holcomb assalam the wisdom of the world, but that is really going a little off the point. So let's now move on to the next this week is also partially a sudden. We talked about high certain number of times again episodes 88 138 187 and 233. But since there's one question that just came in connected to this. I'll focus on one high so does many lessons as always so we're going to talk about here's the question about avram's complete days. So there's a posture can list and this part in these parts are very powerful posture good says valve rum-soaked and Baba yamen. Avram aged and he came into his days. So of course the question is the redundancy if he aged that means he comes into his days. What does it add to say Bob by your drums are controlled by a human. So it says that of rums days were complete this writer writes and is explained that he filled his days and do not waste any time. Is that possible for ordinary people to live that way and if yes, what would it look like to have a complete day? Let me explain this a bit based on those Zoe Hart is that asked the question about the redundancy in this Parsha and says I've ROMs aachen talks about his chronological he aged. No, I've grown passed away at 175. But Baba Yaga meme is telling us he came in Tuesday's means he used every moment of his day. They were complete Days by Yamimash Layman is the language in the desert. He came with complete dates because you can have it you can you can live a hundred seventy five years. You can live a hundred and twenty years. You can live one year you can live one day and not necessarily that day was filled with content that the day was fully utilized. We waste a lot of time of Rome had no such a waste of time every Can was filled was accounted for so he didn't just age, but he came with complete days because it is explains every day is a larouche a beaut. That's why when you do amidst missiles that are connected to a day you can do the next day you can do to mix with some for example film or carbon over the on my bottle carbon if the carbon was not brought that day, you can bring it the next day. You can't dive in chakras one day for two days. Because Ed why the mitzvot? Why not you mister mister, you do the Mitzvah because it's not just the midst with the bitter and the refinement and the elevation of the day itself time itself needs to be refined. And yeah, and I've Rama V new refined every moment of his days. He came with complete days basically a day is energy. Just like space has its Dimension time as its they mention the energy of time. Every second is a life and of the second lead moves on that life is no longer available to you. So you either bring it to Life by doing something good or and there was sense that second becomes lifeless. Now the question how does it relate to us since it's a directive that comes from of rum our patriarch our grandfather a great-grandfather every my solve a similar Bond everything the others did the Patriarchs did is a lesson for us and have the office within us just as it says about my should have been so we have Rama V news my Victim witness fulfillment of time in the fullest sense of the word does it mean we can live 24/7 that way each person has to try we have to always say must say yeah. You we have to always ask. When will we reach my survey of Brahma Sutra Yankovic, when will our actions parallel and live up to the evade of the office? That doesn't mean we were always there might cover but it means means more cover meaning they were completely selfless and transparent Chariot and channel to the Divine but somewhere we each have to find that process Interruption. Llama don't have spoken about this a number of times coughs fought after the the delegations came from all over the world for the seams of the Secretary of mushiya huge fad that year 20 years from the rebels leadership 50 years ago. Basically the rebel spoke of Albanian before they were going in the different charts Israel and other places and he sends that they were all rushing because they were anticipating and they were eager to get to the airport. So the devil gave a talk about slogans man. Does the gist of it? I don't want to go through the whole thing because of limits of time was that as long as man means something he heard from the field. They could have that wherever you are in that moment be there completely. Even if you're five minutes from now, you're going to go somewhere else right. Now. This is you have to live in that moment. So living in the moment is a taste of the Baba Yaga meme of of Rama V know which means each of us. We wasted enough time. Each of us can take each day and say, you know what? I'm going to focus on being a little more Bubba Yeoman dick. I'm not The led the day pass I'm going to make sure every day has content in it. They filled with Toyota learning. They filled with mistress with prayer with Dominique with helping another and the more you do it. The more seconds that you do it the more minutes. You do it the more hours you do it the more your day becomes filled you bring to life the life that you're given. So a moment is given to you. It's a life if you use it. It's it would love a lives on forever. Even though it was just a moment if you don't use it, God forbid. It's like a lost opportunity so I can everything we have to look for my Ain. How can we in some way live up to this standard? That's the lesson the importance of time time management. Okay. Now there are a few questions that came in that were connected to last week's pasture. I don't want to wait till next year. So I decided I'll address some of them and there's one is going to be now here and then there's another one will do another to will do in the city this questions. treatment of the poor how does the mistreatment of the poor by his dome which was the last week's chapter compared to some Behavior today where the person writes is the rabbi Jacobsen? Thank you so much for your enlightening and Frank weekly show you your room in last week's partial. We learned that one of the Grave offenses of the people of Saddam was their treatment of the poor. How does this compare with the current laws in some cities that ban begging and the homeless camping on sidewalks and in Parks. I heard of one place that even gave citations to those who give money to Street beggars. To me this is this part of the pressure speaks directly to this issue. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you so much. Okay. So first of all, we have to make one major qualification Saddam was a truly Wicked city of the likes that we don't see often or at all. And that's why they were destroyed. So as bad as we may be in our times are any time Saddam was very unique in the way. They mistreated the poor. It wasn't just regulating. It was true abuse the fullest sense of the word a selfish. Narcissistic City Wicked cruel corrupt city, not just The poor how they treated guests how they treat anybody. So that's important to that does not mean we don't take out lessons from it because the fact that the third tells us is I mentioned everything in the tail is a lesson, but I just want to make that qualification. So we have a tayden halacha how we treat the poor. First of all the whole tale is based on because it of Roma Vino had an open tent. How can also soften inviting guests and you doesn't say what type of guess everyone is welcome. Obviously when I talk about someone dangerous Etc because then you have to protect yourself just as a qualification. So the idea of the docket is based on and initiated and originates in tired by Rama VII losses Doc amishman and last week's passion and it becomes part and parcel of one of the greatest mid-surface schooler connected kilometers. Dhaka is compared to like if you put it on a scale it's darker is equal the weight of all other myths And I can go on and on about the virtues of Charity charity means to not just in spiritual charity. Also material charity people who have less. And as a matter of fact, that's why God created people have less so there should be some residents Sherry as doing was the antithesis of that. So when we now look at our own behavior today and our cities and stay United States in general is a benevolent country. Very charitable charitable has all kinds of benefits whether it's welfare or food stamps or rent control or other things that benefit those that are less fortunate. Help them get on their feet things are unprecedented. In other countries once did not exist. Others have learned from America at the same time. We're not perfect but plenty of faults. And yes, there are places where people don't mistreat the poor. What do you do with the homeless what happens when this crime so I can't go into now an elaborate comprehensive approach. But if you take the taters compassionate approach to people it's absolutely everything antithetical to this day. So yes, when we see certain cities perhaps being severe we have to look at it. Is it coming from a compassionate place isn't coming from an inappropriate place. I would need to know exactly what is going on what we're talking about. I know I've read it as well. Is it something that's based on governmental? Instructions or is it people hurting those that are more needy and so on but in general speak to General? Yes, we can learn from this Dame the crimes of how not to behave when it comes to strangers and comes to the needy come to the part of the impoverished people of poverty the poor and also learn from the tailor the positive lessons. So yes, we can learn much from it and obviously compassion and it's duck is always can always increase and yes, there are times we read About unfortunately laws that probably should be modified. But you have to also remember if the protect the citizens while you're also helping the poor. That's why we have shelters helping people get on their feet get jobs because unfortunately often what happens is many times places of poverty and slums can also turn out to be dead ends of crime. So you need to know how to balance it all because you want to protect everybody even the poor themselves from each other at the same time being compassionate, but We would need to hear more details and read speak about more details to really specifically State this but thank you for that. I also want to refer you to episode 262. Okay, let's move now to a new series of questions. Since this is timely we'll talk about it lessons from the impeachment hearings. So we all know headlines everywhere impeachment Harry impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives trying to impeach inquiring and that the impeaching President Donald Trump. So the question is what lessons can we learn from the current impeachment hearings? Here's how the personal Hydra beasts women with impeachment hearings now going public which means first it was Private then it went public. I was hoping you could share a lesson of a discussion that we can learn apply from this. A lesson from the serving God that we can learn and apply from this now initially. I first thought I wouldn't address this because but on the other hand we know from the Baal Shem Tov that ever repeated it so many times everything you see in here is as rock approach. This is Divine Providence and has lessons. So let me just throw out some thoughts and I would love to hear if any of you have some thoughts. First of all, there's of course the whole Despicable partisan and the polarization of this country from the moment Trump was elected. There was a Talk about impeachment. That does not mean but mr. Trump President Trump does everything is perfect far from it. But so with every president no one's perfect. And now everyone has their mistakes and everyone has probably thinks that if you really want to get them you can probably defensive I possible impeachment offenses because as they say keep saying it's not a legal matter impeachment. It's a political matter. So of course a party that is against the president whether it was the Republicans against Clinton or in other situations, Nixon was it was going to be impeached but he resigned that ever 175 bring another presidents did the same thing or worse, but it was not known or was not caught. This doesn't justify crimes and doesn't justify things. But you have to remember that when crimes are done. Some of them are not so serious. Some are more serious than others and often a lot of politics goes into it. So the first lesson is that morality and ethics are not necessarily based on political agendas. Political agendas can be about who should be in power could be about personality clashes. Clearly. Mr. Trump is hated by many people especially in the Democratic party and they try to do anything possible to bring them down. Now, they find something may have some legitimacy may not have legitimacy. I'm not going to come to any conclusions you here if you go into the media, you'll hear both are some say there's no basis for it. The whole thing is a Witch Hunt some say there was a little basis, but it's Overblown and some of course who are behind it say this is the biggest crimes and misdemeanors. I will not pass judgment. I will say as an observer and watching that it's quite despicable in general because clearly even those that are the most extreme against you clearly see it's a personal matter you clearly see it's more than just right and wrong because it was right and wrong would have to be consistent across the board and I cannot say I trust that what I say the opposite Republicans were three being the others they would be trying to attack the president. Possible that's also possible this subjective people and I'm not taking a side of the Republican Democrats here. We're talking about these impeachment hearings. So to me the first thing we have to recognize especially those of us that that let me correct myself not especially those all of us. Well we have to learn is that we have to Rise Above This don't get caught up in the politics and the debates because it's dirty. It's personal it's subjective on both ends. And in truth, I don't see here a crime that it considered to be what they first called treason and then they call all kinds of different things. There was he inappropriate should have done it. The other presidents do it. You have to weigh everything if everyone has done something similar. So what's going on here exactly. So clearly it's personal. So I think it's the first lesson is to step back and realize this is not objective since it's not objective. It's a lesson in life. We should not pass judgment because this is not a moral question here. This is a political one whether you want to be bombed involved in politics is your business. I don't want to be and I always remind myself of the story with abusive by digit of it and I actually told that the day when OJ Simpson was acquitted because I was being interviewed and was editing them keep it and even keep a tough skin tone. Hey, I was being interviewed about my book tour and meaningful life. So they had told me beforehand since the OJ OJ verdict came out. No one's going to be interested in the book. Even though it's a good book Let's push over the interviews. I said no, I'll talk about that. And I remember sharing this story. I said while the whole world is so up in arms and everybody's taking sides about OJ Simpson and his verdict and was a polarization then as well. I said many thousands hundreds of thousands of Jews are preparing for the holiest day of the year the day of atonement Yom Kippur and I told the story that Lisa. A digital standing by the omelet VM keep it or one of the yamuna dream davenic before he started discovering his car that she said the prussians say that the Prussian King is the greatest the Russians say the Tsar is the greatest the French say the emperor is their Emperor's the greatest and I Livi it's of Masada. Social say says his card will be his God - made a bow made up a great great the name of God. So I think this teaches us to realize there's the actions of men my see they are dumb that they which are sometimes Petty small-minded political agendas hidden agendas open agendas. So we have to step back that's lesson number one and realized we shouldn't be part of The Fray. We have a higher calling to live up to so we look at this and we should see it as part of that. That's lesson number one. That's number two. Is on a more specific level that everybody deserves to be judged fairly. It should not be a political thing. This is already getting involved in it isn't being judged fairly or is it simply because the House of Representatives has a majority if they didn't have the majority they could not even have proceeded. So what are we talking about that since you have more power are you being just So it's a good lesson in Justice. What is Justice can we expect from these people to be just I sometimes feel you can't because they have their agenda and they're just going as a train. And again, I would say this either way. The question is about these impeachment hearings. I would say it exactly the opposite way if it was a president from the opposite party that's lesson. Number two lesson number three is what this world is so consumed with look what it's consumed with. This is the headlines. I mean, I know it's someone an extension of Point number one that I made this is the headlines. It's entertainment industry. It's entertainment for most There's going to be an election next year people will vote. So they're positioning and jockeying and and pivoting in order to either put jump in a good light or in a bad life. So what is this world involved in such? What is it? Well, that's what the headline should be. The headline should be is how we bring. Mushiya how we transform the world and bring the divine's of the world. The headline should be called crashing that we have here a blueprint of how to transform the world and turn it took real world. Peace, you know all the major Is that are important to people that important to human lives? I asked myself what difference does it make to my family to your family to your children? All these stuff. So this is what they think is the most important thing is that affecting anybody's family and our education our children growing up in a healthier environment and so on so that's lesson number three. I'm sure there are more lessons but these are the things that come to mind and however turns these lessons are vulgar are vital and relevant and that's what should be the attitude. Now as far as what President Trump himself he is the president of the United States was elected and that has a certain Divine element to it live long. Not lame lock him Asylum be either sham the heart of kings and and ministers is in the hand is in the the other shame in the hands of God and we want God to direct our leaders to be more benevolent to be more compassionate to be good for the human race for the American people for the Jewish people for Israel. So that's how we have to look at it as mr. Trump living up to that Legacy. Is he good for the welfare of people? Is he good for the Jewish people which when you're good to the Jews are good to the world and others as well. And that's the key thing that we have to so when I look at this I say, so what's going on they're trying to be why don't you look at the whole record of his what has he done? But that again is not on the table. You find one flaw, even if it's a real flaw, that's only become the dominant element. Why don't you let the American people Why don't you uh, why don't you advertise yourself campaign that people know your positions and let people on the merits decide. Are they respecting the people? That's another question. Another lesson. Isn't this a Democrat democracy where people elect and vote? So you want to influence by all means put up advertisements but using impeachment seems like a low a load a lowball tactic of trying to hurt the president because you can't hurt him in the economy or in other ways. So those are my thoughts and this is not a pro-trump statement. It's looking at in a Fair Way. Whoever would be sitting in that seat. I wouldn't say exactly the same thing under the same circumstances. I want to make that very clear. Okay, if anybody has any further thoughts on this topic, please it's on the table and let's hear lessons lessons that we can learn as I said, I'm sure there are many other lessons, especially when you get into the Nitty Gritty, but let's move on to the next question. So since we're on this topic, the next question saw someone writes about is it appropriate to recite the blessing on a king when we see the president of the United States. I saw a video recently are some people set up Brock on the president with hashem's name. The shame of Marcus isn't part of the idea of a king that he has the power of life and death and a president only has the power of life. He can commute a part in the death sentence, but he can't give the death sentence to an America. Question is whether it's a broccoli bottle or not. Basically, is it appropriate to make a block like that or not? So let's talk about a few points here. First of all, this question has been raised not just now remember this is not the first president of the United States is the 45th president. There are also presidents and leaders of other countries. So the question has been raised by poskim in the past and let's just all just cite some of them the general consensus is just to get to the conclusion that it's not the dinner vermelha her president. And I'll just point out that when Trump visited President Trump visited Israel number of years ago. This was asked by the rabbi's there and Robin are and some others came out and said no. So let's first start with a did what's the did the Gomorrah and baracus and don't have some and I love 58 a says that everyone who's anyone who sees a king of the nation should say the brachot books are no Sonic faded the boss of Adam Baruch Hashem who came along there was an awesome afraid that he gave His glory is honor to a person of flesh and blood if it's a mellow a king in Israel. You shall collect McFadden the array of so different person a different bra. the halacha rambam and whose Brokers you during Olive and Sean Connery camera shoved all crash site is gamora's absorbed in question is was asked when Trump came to Israel should one go and make that broccoli. They see him a secondary question. And that is that the other thing is also that you should pursue and look for a king to try to see a king and make this block. So regarding both things the answer was no by the consensus. There are some exceptions. I mentioned that shortly and the key points made was that what is that what the dinner vermelha so some say that a melek must be absolute. Everything is in his hands and complete power including obviously. Yeah, so this can you say that about a president? This is some artists came name of safer - Kyle Hill has brought assessment test and Shall Serve a salad bars. Olive wreaths a dick move. A president does not have such absolute power. First of all, he's elected second of all he there's oversight irrelevant. Now whether political agendas are so so based on that is not the din of a mellow. Another say in order for them to be a den of a Melody has to have the power. Yes that as the questioner asks life and death not just life but also death. That's the shops of service. I'm safer it. Hi. I'm Simon Koo from test 159. The president does not have that power. Even though is the part the part of Pardon, but he's not the power to kill it based on a whim or based on just his decree. Okay, some say the bell of to make the broccoli has to be dressed in the in kingly garments used to be dressed like a king. That's a shops and services covered ass baseball Custom Shop service and hug is basically from a test tube has 100 biscuit limit test. Then there's also an opinion that the seed to make this blessing the bell of has to be but take her for - to be with his entire Entourage. That's also from those same sources. So that's why many have passed content not just about President Trump are other presidents, but it's Sadat or other presidents and leaders of their country. Even those that more power technically that the data didn't melt it and therefore you don't make the broker. The question is do you make the broth without shame and mouse without Basham El Que? No, La ilaha. Illa just barakatuh. Genomic faded was overdone. So the Morgan of ramen children out of their does talk about ministers that are appointed by the king. Do we make that and some say that you don't make that, you know makes animals, but you may go the bras from the altar Debbie because he doesn't say it and actually I'll try but doesn't even bring about the malorum of Israel because of mushy are there's no medicine is installed today, but the out there but just mentions the kings of the Nations, but it does not mention this thing, but that make Mishima mark So from that, it appears that it doesn't hold that way. This is in the alter rebbe in his office in Louisville house and then at the end the last section. Okay, so based on all this. I must qualify that above the rdas of they say I looked it up. I'm not sure if there's a hundred percent but it seems so that were no President Obama came to Israel. He said they should make they should pursue to see him and make the broker but it doesn't I don't know if he said the same amount goes are not meeting with hashem's name. So that's that's not clear from what I looked up. Anyway, so based on all of this is clear that we are certain how locus of that without applied to this situation in general if it's us I think those are Miller we're not know for sure whether it's a mellow because that can be up to interpretation. So in general stuff across local if you have a doubt you don't make up a rock because Brock is generally your you don't you're not mock me you make them. Okay? I think that covers that I just want to add liquid goes to the mill, sir. But kadish a safer or tree I letter written by the middle of debits printed Nassif will call the country is called bad kadish the middle elaborate when he was are being arrested and the informers one of the things that he was rebelling against the king. So in the Batcave the she writes about this thing about the fact that a king not only do we honor him, but we also make a blessing. Eddie quotes the blessing there that explains in the footnote there why we say halak by mL of his role holic McVeigh day and by non-jewish King. We say no stomach for a day. Now that's as an aside, but I just wanted to mention that but there were talking about the tsar and the Czar was clearly a king as the din of a mellow and then you do Tucker didn't make the broccoli because remember the Brock is not dependent whether it's a good king or not a good King who is a king. There's Brock has made so that covers at least the below the this subject matter if anybody has more information, they like to add as always please submit and I'll be happy to share. Okay now since we're on this topic, so here's another question. That's somewhat related not completely related. The question is about non-jews in general. Our non-jews created in the Divine image but cell Emily came when God said NASA other bits are may know that will create a human being in our image in God's image does Adam here include non-jews what exactly selam aleykum is divine image. That's one question. Okay. Another related question is do non-jews have a soul. Hello, Robbie Jackson. Thank you so much for your wonderful weekly lessons. They bring so much inspiration and teaching to a world hungering for truth and meaning I've heard that the rebbe said that the non-jews have a Divine Soul. Can you teach us more about it? What is the root of this Soul does the root of this so different from the source of the Jewish Divine solemn of so, how does it become a clothed in the body? What does it strive for can a non-jew loses the violence all due to improper actions. Thanks so much. So I have a This at length, especially in episode 85, but I will also give you some other 31 100-120 to 178 190 to 210 and 281. Now nevertheless I will share a few words on this topic. So there was a pretty decent option half a 1960 with college students as the Deb about this and the rebels said they said they heard from their Professor block all of us home that he said they don't have a Divine Soul the Rebus said tell mr. Blood. Tell the Professor black he's wrong. They have a Divine spark. It's just different than the Jewish one and this is based on a tasteless and outside cute in the quickly. See if Escuela que GMO. I'm 13 is a whole bunch of footnotes that really help understand this whole subject and Page 230. But briefly. Yes. They were all created in the Divine image. Everybody is sake of avoid them should never have it sell them cavor them should never tell them which means that that precious is the person who's created with Selma that came then it says could even use rahl-si-nee crime Bonham amok and their children a creamy sauce in it to him. Click on the Taylor. So clearly everyone every human being on Earth is created with Zell Miller came and comes from other men have It's another this question of the app vehicle by punishments crime of chapter 2 in Tanya based on the Zoe Hart. How how does that apply to everybody? So there's a reason on the matter which says because at that time before contacted us would have all been coming from from on with only business show mrs. Stall, but I spoke about that in previous episodes. So the bottom line is they have a Divine spark. That's why we they can be expected to fulfill the server the seven noahide laws which lived to live up to their Destiny and calling and that's why the end of the Hells Angel has malakand. What does he conclude Mall orders day of session and the whole world will be filled with Divine knowledge as the waters cover the sea voice of color Alam and The Business of the world will be The years ago an elder sister shampoo, but only to know God this is referring also to non-jews because they have the Divine image. What is divine image mean that you have a Divine calling that you have a Divine component within you to fulfill God's mission in this world now animals and Samaria to Mayor and Damon on created by the Divine, but you don't say their butts element like him. They don't have free. Will they don't have ethical obligations to The world they follow the guidelines the orders the program if you wish the way God created them but human beings including non-jews have kid especially in the laws and ethical laws that they're responsible for. So that's the sort of it. And as I said look up those other places where I elaborate it much longer at that on this topic, okay. Next topic completely new topic. The question is should I be bothered by my spouse speaking to people of the opposite gender? Can my wife have to do with other men? Hi, I recently got married and I love my wife and I'm very overprotective of her. It bothers me when she speaks or has anything to do with other men. It makes me feel like I'm not special and it bothers me for her to have a relationship or significant connection to any man besides family what expectations am I allowed to have and in which cases am I asking for too much? I asked both in regards to morally And in regards to our from couple who follow Toyota Exodus, okay. So I discuss this as well. I'll give you the episodes after I answer the answer is yes, let's begin with how La Cantera which is goes hand-in-hand with moral when a husband and wife get married is a sacred sacred relationship between them and therefore their exclusive to each other and over socializing with other the other gender whether it's a man with other women or a woman with other man is not appropriate. Now people go to work. They work with other men. So there are a lot less for these matters because you could not to be alone with anyone else. behavior that is modest Professional but to have a social relationship or any emotional is absolutely not acceptable now to really determine what is that it's a, you know, you're working with somebody and there's a friendship there a professional friendship. Where's the line that you need to talk to other of if you have any questions, but there are lines that are the talks about lines of how to interact you go out to lunch and dinner just alone or with other people at work. So there are guidelines that we have for all these matters not going. Through all the guidelines because I need to hear the situation generally speaking. If a spouse feels uncomfortable the other person over socializing with other opposite gender and respect for the spouses enough reason now, whether there's sometimes people are over obsessive every little thing you go to work and you're always jealous or always thinking what's going on there. So that may be the case, but that still doesn't mean that the person is doing the right thing. So that's the case that has to be looked at again Case by case, but I would advise to the questionnaire here is to speak to a must be here to speak to someone you trust share with them the circumstances also the good to hear what the spouse has to say. No, sometimes they're not aware. Sometimes they think it's nothing maybe it is something and it's not should not be left ignored because things like this can grow and sometimes we much bigger and you start obsessing and it's always healthy to address these matters, but not be obsessive really be open to hear an objective opinion whether you're Concerned or maybe your concerns are correct and remedy it in a beautiful kind and peaceful way not through accusations and not through a tax because that usually does not help even if it's a legitimate concern the best way is to do this at a tax issue away and I look at morality in this context from a tater perspective. I don't know what's going on in the world that's outside of Teta. They have their own standards that are not necessary standards. I would consider moral but withdrawing from a potato decision point of view this is the approach to take An episode 33 104 and 105 I discussed this somewhat more in detail some more angles and more aspects to it. Okay, a Associated question is appropriate how much of a relationship should one have with his wife's younger sisters appropriate relationships were going in-laws how much of a relationship a brother-in-law have with his wife's younger sisters? Generally speaking. No, no relationship at all the word relationship means some type of relationship. You are there your other brother-in-law. They're your sisters in loss of the of course. There's the family aspect you see each other cords cordial, but why should they be a relationship beyond that? Could only create confusion and I said relationship. Does that mean ignoring relationship means that you're developing relationship? You're going out or doing some other things. I have to understand what the relationship is, but my understanding of it is that it shouldn't be a relationship. It should be the Azalea wife's younger sisters and they have their lives you celebrate their simplest you invited to events and so on but it's not personal. Now when I say not personal doesn't mean it's not personal, of course, it's like brothers and sisters as the sisters of your wife. So it's personal to her but it's not personal to you more than necessary. So yes if they come and ask for help they come for help help me find the job. Obviously you do that even for a stranger but anything more than that to the other question itself implies more than that. You have to be very careful because there are how long has there are laws about these matters and you don't want to create any confusions and so on. We also know for example when two brothers married two sisters. They're not even supposed to live in the same city. Because of confusion and so on and boundaries so that just tells you the care that has to be taken especially when it's family members. Okay. So one more question then we'll do follow-up the see this question. Okay. We got some more things to cover yourself. This question again is come in but I have to apologize and I don't know if I apologize the right word. But then many since we're already an episode 283 you can assume that a lot of topics have been addressed at length relatively so though I want the address all questions. I cannot repeat everything I've said so that's why I cross reference and the next one goes in that category. It's a controversial question. This is a question that has bothered me for many years. How do we explain controversial Behavior by our heroes and antenna? learning about David ml he actually sounds I don't want to say what the person wrote here, but sounds like involved with women. I honestly find it disturbing I think about this every time I say to him on Shabbos move or and then we have Slimmer milk with a harem of many women. How is this in any way? Okay, how was he allowed to build the base emitter. So actually that far back in episode 271. I addressed it relatively at length and it's a very good question and at the end of the day down below. We know that Slimmer Miller and David emmel reprimanded for this and they actually were not allowed to do so. It's because of what they had done in the sukham. It says it was inappropriate but the end of the day that's a dick in part of them. You have to explain that Tatum in Tibet is billion a mammogram as his buttock pain that is some spiritual level. There was a certain understanding of what they were trying to do, which was not Because they had sexual pleasures or they had typhus and desires but it was for some spiritual reasons that still does not legitimize the actual actions down below. It just means that there may have been a Cavani that's a deeper qivana anyway, because I spoke about it. I don't want to address it again. I did want to ask the question but please go to episode 271. I also don't like to ask a question and answer. That's why I'm assisting to go to episode 271 and consider that just like I've said it right now. Okay. A follow-up. The follow-up I'm going to do now is on social anxiety. This was last week's episode 282 Dear Abby Jacobs and thank you for your weekly enlightening videos on the topic of social anxiety. You recently discussed as Ashley a and a person who has social on the time the nigun is wrong. Let me start again and the topic of social anxiety you recently discussed as Ashley F and a person who has social anxiety. I would like to share the following I found myself struggling with this issue, especially during the kinases look, Just coming up next week weekend. And when coming to Crown Heights for symphysis for celebrations occasions, the majority of the social settings I encounter, I don't feel the anxiety as acutely because I see those people on a regular basis when joining a yearly event. However, oh a meeting with people I see infrequently. That's when the feeling of loss isolation coupled by anxiety takes hold one useful tip that works for me when entering those settings I try to spot someone who's sitting alone a participant tool. Suspect may not know many people there and strike up a casual conversation beginning with a smile and a friendly hello for the vast majority of time. This seems to work for me. I feel that me being focused on making someone else feel comfortable distract me from my own discomfort and now and allows me to engage in a safe social interaction at the same time which in turn builds up my confidence. That's love. Well, thank you very much. It's an excellent suggestion and now we included in the Canon of the Discussion on social anxiety last week's episode with that. Let us go to the students question, which is actually two questions, but I believe I'm going to move one to next week because of the time limitations. So one question is question is I'll dress the first one and then deal with the next one. Both of them are connected the partial evaluator last week's the passion we read yesterday. So the 1 is connected to Taylor are so the writer writes. In the port Miami personally all from Taylor are which is partial evaluator. So it says that the soul is one with the body unites with the body and we see it when the body gets hurt and the Soul feels the pain. How do we know that is the solder feels the pain may be just the body. This is the lotion that you found that nefesh Miss Paul mimicry. Hey goof from the sensations of the body. The soul also feels them. That's the question. So first of all, if there's no soul there's no feelings. Remember that God forbid a corpse a dead body has no feelings of this pain. There's no one's feeling it feeling is the son of Life are the soul and the body. So on a very personal level simple level pain means that the soul is also part of the process. It's originating from the body, but the body lets people to speak on a scientific level. The nerves are alive and the nerves you feel the pain and the nerves speak to this through the mind to the soul. So the soul has a cessation in that sense. Even if it's not originating from the soul, but on a deeper level if you look in the my modern. So that the explanation why how is it possible to souls affected by the body? Soul is completely different reality. But here's the key is that the tremendous Kiddush is that God put the soul into the body that they have a complete United relationship. That's oxidants brings this mimicry. That's why it's that way. So the soul on its own you can look at it like something like sunlight which we'll talk about in a moment should not be affected at all. That's why looks it is brings the example of oil and Chef. Ah, what's the difference in the inertia for light and the flow? Shuffle across Paul from a teacher to student the teachers affected by the student the student affects the teacher the student is affected by the teacher when you talk about light, let's say sunlight Sun just shines automatically. It doesn't affect the sun. It shines everywhere. It doesn't affect the sun whether the sunlight goes in the garbage pile or in the palace. So now is it is brings a second muscle the muscle of an Islamic group. That's also then the summer radiates automatically doesn't have to make effort and it radiates into the body and it does not affect the the soul. So if the body for example, let's say I'm Ava one of the limbs is weak. The soul is not weakened because of it. So the energy doesn't flow into it. Just like if you put up a curtain the sun doesn't flow and yet there's something in the Marshal with the national champs, but never is but go of the city says that the sun is better in the Marshall. It's a better Marshall regarding the idea in the Detachment. But you also want to explain that the highest of the key the Divine Divine energy also enters and permeates and I are paneer me and Shout son. Is their Market. Pretty me how do we need saw this because we see the souls affected by the events of the body. That's these options the alter rebbe explains this in a few places firstly in the quantitative bajar 40 to a and they surfaced of a ikura love and emotional cost basis crying 50 to see there's a member of be revealed Mathis topic of Summer base, especially in the NACA of remission, the second-hand Market where it says these words that the pain of the body is felt by the The mind some places it says it's filled by the soul. This is also cited in in Shadow organization in a detainer Pinterest page 1081 and safer heat of the summer setting 95 a now. So what we have here is like this the sun is completely detached then the shaman the Goof the nefesh in the Gulf is detached on one end because it's all does not have to make an effort and it's not affected by Illuminating the body or not and yet there's more of deeper his lobsters because it's are pretty me and that's why it's affected. The soul actually is affected and touched by the pain or all the sensations of the body. And then of course, there's a stops has that's completely like Chef Eva which it's completely impacted. So in a sense Never Should glow of is a muscle that explains one dimension of how the Divine interact with existence that has a something that the sun example doesn't work. Well for and the opposite the sun example works better in a different area as I explained now share submit successful interestingly. He says the following Says the follow he brings this concept. This isn't a chapter 34 says materials page 136 be he brings that that day at that. That one it's not just to how other alone even though the Jetsam of the neshamah is not affected. So it's not just that then this the part of the soul that influences the body that energizes the body is not just a reflection like sunlight. It's more hush pause more like Chef Eva because it did its invested. These always pasta strainers work of any data out of lava. That's not only reflection the in came voice. I never dismissed by Ellis called cockamamy Craig of then the Soul would not be affected that much by the sensations of the body. Goodbye Howard. It's not that way something that's just a reflection of light is not affected by the place where it's shining into of the Soul was just like that's not that way. So in that sense, the soul is more of more invested in more involved. I should say involved is the right word, but then he goes on to say the following. That this David still needs explanation. You still need explanation. Because even by her out of this changes according to the Kalin, for example, the windows open or for windows closed he put up curtains and so on. She could still say the Shinobi mom inside the Calum not beside the nefesh. Well, okay tomasa nefesh my spells Mickey Goofy yesterday. Yes, it will Canal. So he's basically saying that from the fact that the nefesh is affected by the pain or the sensations of the body tell you it's not just a reflection. The cytosine became self-conscious but I is Will Graham Campbell ocean on now, so you see here that this is something that needs more explanations. I'm ecstatic. I will also add that there seems to be somewhat of also another explanation that maybe contradiction even in other by modern in some involve in the beginning of coercion. A lot of stuff is Simon's Ian and also by Allah some involve which is actually the First Unitarian page 176 and also editing your page 147 148. And what does it say there there? It says something very different. That that when we say the Memphis is affected the spirit the soul is affected by the sensations of the body is only the faculties of the nefesh. But not the fact that the Ed Semana fish is connected to the body is something equal and does not have any changes. That's what it says there. So there you could say that the interpretation is more not that the nefesh is the faculties of the soul that are affected as I said this needs more human. This is some of the information the second question exceed. This was about the mimer is Jacques. So I'll address that next week. We do the three essays now. We always conclude with the three essays of essay contest 2019. So the first one is big God and little me Hindi literature and age 17 Atlanta Georgia students in lavas girls high school Chicago a vast desert stretches endlessly before on the same scenery stretches in all directions for Miles She begins his forehead shines with respiration and is parched mouth you ins for a drink of water. And he's big turns up to heaven and says help me find my way God help me find a way to get out of this desert. This is an analogy. four It continues I'm sorry as after conclude them analogy. So finally even though after beginning to doubt whether God will answer to his prayers. He sees a village ahead. He notices a commotion turning to the first person he met he asked what had happened a group of challenges came to our village a few hours ago. They had been traveling through the desert when a group of Bandits attacked them. They were beaten and robbed of everything. The Lost traveler was shocked. He realized that that was his group. The group had been separated from he had been spared from terrible tragedy. So goes on basically discuss that sometimes feels that they've terrible situation and in truth. There's a lot of good within it. How do we find good in that? Life even when it doesn't seem that way looking at the intention of things looking at the deeper purpose and meaning and the power of prayer to reveal that deeper good. That's the gist of it with a practical conclusion. Okay. Next essay is cultivating an identity within the framework of Exodus Advocate 817 as well, Los Angeles, California Student Earl Hannah High School, Los Angeles. We're all on a lifelong journey of figuring out who exactly we are what speaks to us. And what we identify with but what if to say what is the say about cultivating a healthy self identity one that expresses our individuality without curtailing our potential the objective of this essay is to demonstrate how considerate philosophy provides powerful tools for embarking upon this the lifelong journey of self-discovery and personal growth more specifically this essay will outline how cultivating an identity within the framework of Exodus is not an oxymoron, but unattainable reality. She goes on to do this exactly that using the Kinder socialism as an example talking about identity within the context of Exodus. Well done, very original very interesting and of course leading us to the soul and the essence of the solute leadership and nefesh beautiful essay and finally essay number three for today. It's not about you Mehndi halberstam 837, Miami Beach, Florida. It's a misnomer appliances or practical. So this is one of the same thing is there really such a thing as credits which is not practical but is instead theoretical hypotheses regarding our Chemin spirituality. I think not and goes on to basically do exactly that takes to this and explain how it is relevant to each one of our lives. And using Tanya as an example different themes and Tanya this essay comes down to that. It's not all about you that there's something greater that we have to live up to and that's not just a theory. It's a practical way that affects your world in every aspect of it another world on essay as the other two are so thank you for that. So with that we conclude this week's episode 283 of my life because it has supplied everyone should have a very Beloved husband, they celebrate the Deborah shop and citizen General and we shouldn't should finally be Zeta even before her husband your foot sir - Circle Hoots. Ah, and Michelle told about Shem Tov awesome our democracy her. That's when he will come.
