Welcome to my life. It has applied episode 274. We are in the last days of the month of Menachem of quickly approaching the month of elul. Yes, the awesome month of L, which is the last month of the Hebrew year. When we count not by the lunar cycle, but by the annual cycle that starts with tishrei meaning not from creationism, which then L is of course the the the the six month but the conclusion of the year and the preparation for the new year of Russia Hashanah and Yom, Kippur and sookie's tishri. So of course most appropriate is to begin with what is Timely As I pointed out a number of times when you look at the calendar the Jewish calendar, it's a fascinating remarkable document more than a document more than a counter that just measures time and gives us the ability to schedule appointments and schedule our daily routines. It also is a mirror image that reflects the cycles of life. So if you think of month of of as a month of sadness, especially the beginning of the month till the 9th evolve then from that sadness we begin the process of comforting and consolation which were now in that weeks the seven weeks of shivered in the camp te the seven weeks of consolation of comfort that leads right into Rosh Hashanah, but the story doesn't just begin their the story actually begins months ago when the Jewish people left Egypt and became a After 210 years of suffering horrible and terrible genocide and bondage. So on the 15th of Nisan the Jewish people leave Egypt with slime is wide leaving our limitations are constraints. So every one of us in life will go through this process of leaving our limited place and experiencing some Transcendence everybody and their own level 49 50 days. Later. Come 49 days of the Omer 50 days later. We arrived at Sinai received the Mandate from God the blueprint for life and here to Transcendence is beautiful, but you need to turn that into a concrete sized system. And hence. The Mandate called The Blueprint Toyota. Forty days after that. What should I buy a new returns with the first set of the tablets? What day is that the 17th of tamils and he sees that the Jewish people built a golden calf in our personal cycle of Life who would mean that after we've experienced Transcendence and freedom after we received the blueprint we betray our own selves and our own destiny and our own mission and mandate and we So the great Peril terrible sits experience, but all is not lost Moshe does indeed break the tablets in order to save the Jewish people as we've discussed a number of times because that was the contract and he goes back on the mountain on the 17th of tammuz for another 40 days that 40-day period is right now we're in that 40-day period coming to the conclusion of it. Why did you go back up here ready to receive the tablets? He goes up to besiege God to forgive the people. So this would include the 17th of tammuz, the three weeks and includes the nine days Tisha b'av and the days subsequent to that all the way till when is 40 days from the 17th of Thomas tourist reddish how to opinions when it goes back a third time. What is the first day of the Traders which would be next job is where the secondary cases which would be next Sunday that's not relevant to our discussion. And it says these were not pleasant days. These were not days where he was successful. How does that play itself in our lives that After a betrayal after violation after a betrayal of ourselves of our destiny of our Mandate of our commitments, we begin the process of trying to heal, but it doesn't come easily because it was a very serious betrayal wasn't a small matter. They built the golden calves they replace god with a piece of gold money with power with the ego. So it's not a small process not an easy process and then he comes back down. So right now moisture is finishing. His second days of 44 second period of 40 days comes back down and goes back a third time just razor shell first or second day of straightish. In other words, either the 30th of of or the first of ello it goes back a third time count 40 days from special 30 days of l 10 days of tishrei is 40 Yom Kippur the 10th of tishrei. So I Rush Hashanah technically made sure our Boehner was up on the mountain the third time that's really was Russia shot of that year. And Yom, Kippur he returns and this time he successful. Successful with what successful with gaining forgiveness and we say it every year Yom Kippur night right after kol nidre three times that a sham says so lactic in Photoshop. I have forgiven them as you have spoken. So moist we don't just say God forgave but it came through an initiative of maybe the greatest event in all of history human being arguing with God and not taking no for an answer and breaking down the door until he succeeds and he gave us that single most Empower, 'full force and life called hope she looked this you look at this story the cycle use look at the cycle this calendar and fascinating. It's awesome how it reflects life who hasn't gone through all these stages. We will have our Transcendence. We follow our blueprint We All Fall and then we tried to correct and heal and was the end of the story we can heal. It comes back with the second tablets, which is somewhere even greater than the first and from then on we have the holiest day of the year Yom Kippur the ability to constantly re re re re re re gain and reclaim that which was lost or broken. So whatever part of life you're in whether you're in the stage of Innocence or a stage of loss of Innocence or stage of regrets and and concerns and anxiety over the mistakes. We've made this cycle this counter is there exactly for us. So here we go from Paisa Touché Lewis is 50 days three sets of 40 days hundred twenty a hundred and seventy days since a half a year covers this journey this Ups and downs from pesach concluding with Yom Kippur. And of course after Yom Kippur comes the celebration of what we have gained and reclaimed which is the celebration of circus leading to the climax into the Apex of it on something that says, I'm Christina so you can add another 13 days four days between him keeper and circus and then all the way till the end of simcha stated almost the end of tishri. So you have over a hundred eighty five days of the year this whole cycle at as I said mirror. Hers and reflects who we are. This is this when studying this and learning about and seeing its power one of the things that motivated me to write the book 60 days a spiritual Guide to the high holidays literally that as a journey through these two awesome months of ailment issued a day-by-day this journey covering the entire spectrum of Life Experiences. So there you have access to the supplied sit is discussed at length every step of the way. So as we go from the end of of Intel As I've cited a number of times the Charles law that the summer said that brings the rebel also cites it and RDA the muzzle of this month of earlier from the muzzle from the sign and the power of this month the Leo lion creates LL. Hashanah Yom Kippur and hoshanna rabba area is an acronym for those four. Periods in time. So you see there again the story it's not just a continuation a Continuum. It actually one gives birth to the other. So the area which could be seen as such a negative thing the destruction of the temple through area of Oakland has compared to that lion who destroyed the line in the month of the lion. I'll nasty I'll coach mine says in order that the lion referring to God comes and rebuilds the line the Third Temple in the in the period of in the line which would be of but that gives birth L was just showing him keeper and he shine it up which is the conclusion essentially of Yom, Kippur the seam of the ceiling of the of the destiny of our lives next year. So this is where we are right now the conclusion of L II as the last days of measure banners 40th second period of 40 days on the mountain preparing ourselves for next job as this year's Shabbos is a traitor shall we bless this razor shell yesterday and this committee was created this coming. Shoppers will be the first day of rest radio show which then leads to the second day. See you have again L is the 30th day of of and the first day of L. So you see an interface because everything is one story. It's one narrative. So even when you're an of experience it immediately is also the first day of L the special I should say and that teaches us the matter where you are in your roller coaster of your life. You have a place to be able to grow too. Able to reconcile to be able to build there's no such thing as hopeless. God forbid. That's the overall lesson from this period this coming Shabbos will also be the a so one thought on the pasture a our nation nation of national Fame and sbrocco behold, I give you before you today the blessing and the opposite of blessing. These are of course of the words that measure the been uttered and spoke the last 37 days of his life in this world started Schrager Steven. I'm sorry to say - Swedish fat when he began speaking. In the beginning of pasture dividing until Zion other when Mason was going up or go up and had an avoid as the end of mission at a dead end of this book will tell so we're now in partial to a the fourth chapter of this book and one beautiful thought powerful thought you say very nascent. The Phoenicians nation is always refers to Nation means to bestowed to give a comet animatronic is called the giving of call harness in behind your furnace anyone who gives gives with a good eye. So it's a pleasant thing to give a gift. So the question I have is question is okay to give a gift of blessing make sense make a nation with you ever met him as a Prophet The Blessing but how could you forget to refer to the opposite of a blessing as a gift? What kind of gift is that the opposite of a gift? The lab explains that the gift is the clarity to know. What is a blessing and what is not a blessing. So when you're traveling down the road of life and you come to a Crossroads. And you don't know which way is the right way to go. Should you go to the right to the left and someone tells you go this path? This will lead you to beautiful things. That's of course a blessing. But after they don't tell you they tell you don't take this path because it can lead you to terrible things to destructive things. That's an equal blessing because it's Clarity. So the gift that is here is not God forbid the opposite of blessing to know what's opposite of blessing and that's the gift that God gives us both to know what to do. And also what to avoid doing because in a healthy life You need both you need to know how to plant the seeds to make sure the flowers grow be yourself to know how to weed the garden to make sure there are no impediments and negative influence that can stunt and be a black the flowers to emerge. So in psychologically and emotionally in our personal lives, we have mr. Cecil. We have Lisa and Minister says that tell us what to do. What's appropriate. We also want to know what not to do what to avoid doing and both are equal blessing. So the initialization Vector may even gives us that message is a tremendous mess. Message in so many ways in our lives. Sometimes you go for advice. You don't just want to know what to do. Just want to know what to avoid doing. That's what good professionals will tell you things that people have been there already who've gone through an experience. I can tell you don't try that that will not work try this. So that's the blessing of this week's chapter. And of course as we're preparing to go into L. That's what we're looking for L is a month of heshbon a month of accounting and a month of preparation for the new year. So we'll look into have the clarity to correct. So sometimes we know what needs to Be done. Sometimes we we but we don't know what not need. These are not be done and many other times were in denial or were ignorant or we minimize it's critical to know and they'll both things to know how to to heal and do things that are proper that help and are conducive to healing but also know what are the things that also impede the healing process and here I talk healing I mean the personal and emotional and spiritual level. Okay the cross-reference I always do because this is a program that's been going out for six years. So you can imagine for six years. We've covered many of the topics l&r a so I cross-referenced this to episode 79 129 175 224. So they're in those episodes which can all be found that metres. It has applied that cam a new site dedicated to this to the resources for this program and related you can find these archives in their entirety. They're also time-stamped and the YouTube desktop or laptop version. So you can actually find the exact place where the piece you're looking for. In addition is an excellent search that you can look for it by words or topics or themes to find different topics that you may be looking for. Yes. We have been encouraged by many many people asking more than encouraged actually demanding I can say to publish something in writing that couldn't be like a book that's like almost like an encyclopedia of taking the topics that we've covered which have been hundreds and hundreds which are are in the generated by you listeners who write questions in anonymously at our I should mention now the Forum which is again, it is supplied that cam / ask we can write any question. Nothing is off-limits. Nothing is taboo and we'll cover them. We are always backlogged a bit but we're moving along and every week new questions are covered. I'm constantly I'm continuously fascinated by the fact that there are more questions that come in guess when you really covering life life does not have Just a few questions every challenge every issue that comes up poses another dilemma and therefore questions that keep arising. So thank you for participating and I just participated really making it happen both by listening but even more so by put the by generating and suggesting different questions, so please use that opportunity. And so we s we have plans to do so we obviously everything is income our container. We need to have funding so if someone is interested out there to help the project like that which is to take these ideas and put them in some document form, meaning of the digital form of book form. So people can easily access them directly and of course edited we would definitely be appreciative and you can contact me directly at my email address Seaman as I Mo n at meaningful live.com or you can write in the form as well and just give us your contact information and we will communicate with you reach out to you. Thank you for that and is also a good opportunity. That and every level we can use your support to dedicate a program or a series of programs to memory of a loved one or honor of a loved one and X naught portunity to reach thousands and thousands of people who are listening to this program and benefit from it in the marathon schools of so on you dedicate this program to okay with that questions. Question the first question we're going to address today. According to Exodus what relationship should we have with a physical objects in our lives clothing Furniture gifts. We receive antiques Etc little more spelled out there Rabbi Jacobsen. Can we Elevate all neutral objects? Like Furniture vessel jewelry ornaments clothes Etc. Does Judaism believe this kind of objects have good bad energy in them. What about pre-owned objects, we receive as a gift. For example What About Antiques should we get rid of objects that we feel don't have good energy or should we try to elevate them? Thank you and blessings. Okay, very good question practical question is absolutely as what to say about it starting from the Baal Shem Tov himself. The things that siddhis Chabad elaborates upon and you have to find it hinted to in the body shop there things about some to himself addressed in a number of places in the Terrace of the Baal Shem Tov. And for the record most of the Tailor's of the Baal Shem Tov. If not all were spoken by the Baal Shem Tov and written down by his students. So we have the difference for him. Whether it's Tire with a Consortium divorce divorce a divorce or the tell detective evasive and the others Forum that bring the impetus asaph and others that bring Titus abortion. That already been collected there's a safer Club of some developed a that not going to go through all the literature of the Baal Shem Tov. So I'll something in a number of places addresses this in a very direct way and he says the following paraphrasing everything that is in our possession whether it's through ownership meaning we bought it or it was given to us as a gift or you found that even with on Bernard p a locker that you're a lot of keep it anything that comes your way means is a reason that came your way based on the principle of us. Our approach is Divine Providence the Kami away because that item that object has in the Divine Sparks because everything in existence would not exist. If the Divine Purpose of that it was not there. Nothing is here by accident. It came your way. It means that there has Divine Sparks and it's part of the Divine Sparks allocated to you to elevate. So this would include furniture and clothing. Everything he also says when a person finishes meaning, let's say you either lose the object or you give it away to somebody or you sell it and so on it means your role in elevating those Sparks has come to an end. But as long as you have it and you've obtained it, so what does that mean? That's not just there for your Comforts to use a table a chair jewelry ornaments or whatever. It may be it's for you to use it for a purpose that is divine commissure border colors Barack Obama. Bought an elderly lady and the Pookie of is the end of chapter 6. We say everything God created the world he created but not for any other purpose but for a day for his glory and honor so-called moussaka Le shim-sham. I'm all your actions should be directed toward the sake of Heaven hold rehearsal. The are you in all your ways. You should know God meaning in everything seeing the object to the item as an opportunity as spiritual opportunity to grow personally and And to make other people grow you have a table not just to use it to sit by and read something or learn or I'm sorry to eat a meal but to use it to learn Teta to use the table to host guests there you're using the table and elevating and directing it Sparks toward the way they belong and the same thing with everything else that belongs to us things that are prohibited. Meaning you shouldn't own. So yes, those are things you should just don't belong to those means the things you should refrain from and avoid but that's not what we're addressing here. So that's number one. So this could be antiques. This can be anything. It could be lessons that it teaches us. It could be lessons you learn from it and we have to be creative and have to be proactive in seeing what can we learn or what can how can we use this for some Divine Purpose? Okay. Now as far as you mentioned things is if they're good and bad energy. There's potential good without the Lemma says and Tanya very clearly in chapter 6. He says clip us Nagle which is really everything falls under the domain of Clippers Nega accept the things that are Mitzvahs or things that are sodium that are not allowed there are things that must be done. It could be a snake is neutral what's Clippers negar? Literally Clippers nigga means a husk a translucent task. You can see through it think of it like an out of fix a thicker. She'll but like the shell of a like the appeal of a grape. What does that mean? Because the material world covers up and he's goes but either way you can use it for the do shh. So food food is Clippers naked kosher food, you can use it for the douche that by using it to use the strength to do a Mitzvah to do good deeds or God forbid you can use that energy for something destructive and then for the fish off or temporarily your made it you take that spark and you're descending it you're degrading and defiling it and putting it in the domain of shallow strippers at Emmaus in the negative things that are considered to be negative energy. So you can't really call it negative and positive until the human being does something with it. So potentially everything can be done. You can take a knife and use it to cut a hollow. God forbid. You could take a knife and hurt someone. So simple examples, so that's essentially what first pre-owned goes as I mentioned if someone else so that means they had a time when they had to do their job with it. And now your role is now to use that object for the redeeming and elevating the Sparks that are allocated to you. As far as ever getting rid of objects, look there how lockers there are maybe having a decision must be made. You think there's an object in your possession that is because in something negative it has to be dealt with case-by-case. I'm trying to think of an example, you know, if it's something that's completely not prohibited shouldn't be by you shouldn't you should get rid of it, but it's real Austin's were Takin us and destroying it is it's repair but things that so you have to really give an example and then talk to her over talk too much B and C. Maybe that thing doesn't belong in. Life, okay. So I think answer that question and it's a very good question because it touches upon literally our daily lives every interaction everything we possess everything we own and how we see it in the context of what citizen explains. It's not just yours to protect. No just yours to own the Earth to elevate. That's the punchline. Next question. Next question is a topic I've talked about but there are a lot of questions that come in either people have not heard me talk about it before so I'm not going to just ignore the question. I'll refer to where it was discussed or sometimes add a few points and there are of course recurrent themes that are people's minds. So so I obviously indulge that as well in a good way. So this is one about women having to cover the are the questioner asked briefly. What is the source and reason for married women covering their here? So this is a I talked about it at length. Let me read the question and then refer you to where I spoke about it to maybe add a line or two Rabbi Jacobsen first bless you. Your classes have completely changed my look to life bless you. My silly question, which I know thousands of if not more would benefit. I don't I want to just protest there's no such thing as a silly question. Every question is a healthy question question whether you know you sometimes sometimes it's obvious answer sometimes it's less obvious. So just want to comment before I continue the thousands of not more would benefit from and here it is, please would you explain what a weird does a woman covering here? Come from is a written in the Torah. Is it something that came later there's many who have different explanations, but your Source would be a direct message from Arabic it is it for that sneers the blessings for the husband and Sons is it for the woman to know her length her length and behavior to the outside? I guess or context not sure what this means to know her role in Behavior to the outside world. I cover my hair with a hat half scarf or keep our wig. I don't know if I feel I'm cheating and only doing half or don't connect to the actual covering due to lack of real explain meaning. I know so many women who are at low or a lost or loss and whether to cover or not. And others who completely hate the idea, I feel a clear understanding of meaningful message would help many obviously choice to all but a clear understanding would be a big Clarity for many women. We know many women cover their hair differently does every Star make a difference in life blessing your answer would mean the world for you are continuous light of the Rebus teachings bless you a hundredfold for your true work making this world a brighter place, right A Brighter Place Baruch Hashem. So let me first refusal would refer you where I discussed this at length. This is episodes 95 through 97 95 96 and 97 and episode 201. Why do I refer you there? Because there I did a far more comprehensive take on it. I would want to do the I don't want to repeat what I've said then no reason to same person speaking. You just click it's a few clicks away, but I will say the following it is absolutely based on Toyota. It is the causal learned arriving from different verses one about passion is a where talks about the SATA about them uncovering her hair which applies that she covered her here and other places especially when you go into the area of Zohar and the works of Kabbalah and siddhis there they talk about the power of here. There's powerful powerful power erratic power of here which which is rooted in very deep spiritual places, which is what I elaborated upon. On back then in those episodes. Most people are simply not aware. They just think in some type of either has a two successive just a nuisance. So it's rooted in real sources the rebel of course made a big fuss about it and asked women specifically personally to cover their hair and after with the sheitel not with a tickle as elaborated and there is well above all to put just put it briefly here whether we know it or not is a powerful Sexual Energy and just like we cover other parts. The body why do we cover it? Not because it's ugly not because we're ashamed not because it's disgraceful. But like we cover the holy of holies the holiest part of our beings we cover out of respect out of dignity out of preserving it to be experienced in the purest possible way. We live in a world that is far from Pure. So it needs a protection needs to be covered to protect it to be used in the clearest way without any contamination if you wish a woman's here falls into that category side issue. Ever the gemara says but people misunderstand what it means. They think it's a negative. It's a positive. It has power salvation means that woman's here. Now, of course the question is so why do girls were before marriage don't cover why do men not have to cover their hair and all the different things that I leave to referring to when I spoke about it then at length. I say again at length relatively speaking to this program. So in this case, I just want to conclude with this here as tremendous amount of power. And just like a human being as power in general. The feminine energy is very strong when its channeled and harnessed. Well, it can change world's when unfortunately it's abused or violated or not used. Well, it can actually also change worlds but the negative way and that is why it's so vital and that I'd ever made a very big thing about it based on desire and the sblood the words that the great blessings that comes from it the model that talks about it as well the woman that never uncovered her here. They even her here was never exposed even Walls of her house meaning even when she was alone and what the generations that grew out of that the blessings that she received for it. So it's a source of tremendous blessing because they hear is a power of energy powerful powerful energy. So when harness properly it brings great blessings, let's stick to the positive sides. How is each person each woman should adapt this and assimilated in her life go step-by-step learn about it the more, you know, the more informed you are I think the more you'll be able to embrace it and see there's a beautiful thing. You and like a crown a person wears on their head not as a nuisance or just a bother or something. That's you doing without any logic behind it. Okay. The next question which is also a topic that comes up once in a while and I've addressed as well is the topic of superstition. What attitude should we have to Upper Superstition Ian hotter and the likes I don't know if I Bunch all those exactly together Superstition is God's true. Meaning complete nonsense Superstition Ian Hodder. There is a concept the question is what attitude so let me read the question more detail. Then I'll give you my response and Reverend first reference the previous episode. They robbed a seaman bless you 120 years for your endless kind work in this world Rabbi. Would you please give a few words regarding Superstition evil eye and yetzer Hara? Please guide direct many I know with this empty exhausting mind game. Thank you, Rabbi Shimon. So episode 99 1 episode. I addressed this topic quoting the devil said that in order effects only those that believe in it. So let's just start from the beginning and now again just some up because more of the elaborate was discussed back in that episode In tha meme team a similar car has the general principle in this week. Josh's shaved him going to be reading that next week after the a that is walk innocently if you wish simply plainly with got with your God in other words don't look for gimmicks or tricks, which is a fundamental principle in general in Yiddish. Great. Do things called the push of mild faith in a simple direct way when people start looking for gimmicks, whether it's astrology or psychics and so on even if there's legitimacy to some of that and I've talked about this it's not the Of the Taylor that's it is a responsible approach to life. The fact that there are forces at work and it's very exotic and we're curious can also border on The Sensational so that's why when it comes to all types of things like superstitious things people have different Antics, they go through because of their fears of a curse or something like that is not the Tater way. We're not under the control of Missoula switch. We're told even though there are muscles muscles are signs the constellations because God governs the world with certain rules. So when you subject Yourself to that you are giving it power now. It has power but doesn't mean you have to be subject to its powers like a lot of things in life. We all have free predispositions. That doesn't mean you have to give it to them. That's why human being has self-control. So Superstition in general meaning taking anything and giving it some type of power over you is not a general Jewish anterior approach and this does not contradict the fact that their interpretations to dreams and yes, there is a concept of Muslim you say Mazel tov Is I think I've spoken about as well in previous episodes including back in 99 episode 99 Ian Hodder. So we have canine. How do we say there should be no evil eye and we have received before a bliss child is born you put up all kinds of different. Different chemical Mayors and other things that are so-called to ward off any negative energy. There's the concept of negative energy. The question is does it control your life that's was absolutely not does not control your life. It can control your life. If you allow it in like any things like a human being there are people for example that a difficult to deal with and they really get on our nerves but you control whether they'll get to you or not. If you allow them in yes, and you'll be then you'll be vulnerable to them. If you allow yourself to your mean immunize yourself you allow yourself to rise above. They won't affect you. We have that ability doesn't mean it's always easy and there's different ways and methods is not the place to discuss it. The same thing is with a positive and negative negative energies out there. So that's the general answer yet. So harder we all have a yetzer Hara that's the evil inclination doesn't mean you have to act on it. All Tonya is based on controlling that and directing it and harnessing. The right direction so and above all to be afraid to go to sleep with fear or to tremble and people literally are afraid because of they think there's a curse upon them in letter after letter after letter when the rubber writes about these things. He's always dismisses it saying it doesn't have no control over you think the talk and trust in God trust Goodwin's angered think it will be good and all different Expressions teaching us what not that there is a negative energy. That does not has no power over you that's a big key. Thing if you want a simple example based on time your chapter 26 we talks about what depression does doesn't it demoralizes. You not to feel the strength that you have to wrestle with your enemy. So in psychological warfare every Sports Athletics and even natural War how much of it is psychological if you think your enemy is stronger than really is you allowed get you give it power when you think the enemy is not as strong you win a wave its power and you become stronger. So this of course applies to every area of life. Okay. It's about empowerment knowing Governor's Summit Unisom is stronger than all these forces that doesn't mean these forces you don't contend with but there's ways to approach it will be reading in a few weeks. He said Salem Oklahoma Oliveira you go out to war oliverio is above your adversary. Okay? Next next question is this to current events have any deeper connection with the Hebrew dates when they occur and here's how it was praised by Robert Jacobson. I find that many historic events that the president United States declares or other similar events happen a special days in the Jewish or even Chabad calendar. Refers to a few examples this was written a while ago. She's referring to says everyone found out back in November and I'm sorry in February 14th, 2019. The president's concrete intention on declaring National Emergency and funding building a wall. And what was that connected to? What day was that are not even sure with the Rebus anything about what we can learn from this by a fire burning in this shop is if this was prior to for example gimel Thomas I'm speaking about what we can learn from this and not if a wall is right or wrong it building a wall is right or wrong. Oh it happened on tests other that what is the ninth of other when the Freda Culebra came to America Tesla is a special day that the physical ever speak about a wall or significance on this day or the tenth of other when he initially came to Looking forward to hearing something insightful. So this of course applies across the board any type of event the answer goes back to what I mentioned before but objects the Baal Shem Tov has got approaches. This is like a process to the extent that never once mentioned I think from the was addicts I'm safe and I'm not sure he mentioned who was that they would learn lessons even when they traveled on a train and the train had a number on it. If you're number one. Number two number three, there were lessons learned from those numbers because I was completely random you could have been the other car but there's no such thing as random. So applying it to this even more so things that happen a particular day. Yes have a connection to the day. Sometimes it's obvious. Sometimes it's not his expression the Komodo Miguel Gonzalez Liam's a key and also on the negative which means the Goblins ghosts. Mahogany means it like turns like a wheel that ends up being the something of Merit happens to take place, but God willing it's like role to is directed to I'm trying to find the exact words like rolling that's course. I shall make sure that that's who's has rolled until it reaches the James a key. The Merit is the Merit is they wear that Merit belongs and the same thing in a negative thing. So things that happen on Tisha b'av is first Tisha b'av was when the Marilyn came back and made the Jewish people cry over the bad report, but it's a slow and that day would later be the five tragic events that the mishna says including the Shouldn't the burning down of the first temple and the second temple and the other events that happened same thing with the 17th of tammuz and the negative and the positive. Yes, you could have events that happen on first day of pesach or ons poorly more on suitcase. So it's not a random thing if it happened means it's connected in some way to the positive or negative energy. Of the that particular day because remember time is energy and every day has its particular now to go Bend backwards and try to find the connection. Sometimes they'll be obvious. Sometimes I shame doesn't make it obvious. So I don't know if you have to turn it into a study but the general answer is yes, but we don't have to go crazy to find it because if we need to find them will be told and sometimes it's very obvious and that I often in Fabrications would take the day of the calendar using a safer called Valley MBA May would say things happen and Day and look what happened now. She also put this on that day so clearly we can derive from that. There's a connections. This can be connected also to our birthdays and other special events and our lives. But as I said again don't we don't want to turn this into a sensational Journey want to be a meaningful a meaningful one with responsible conclusions, which means it's a lead us to good actions. That's the bottom line that when you see something of screws comes out of your way in a certain day happens on your birthday or happens on another special day to turn it into To okay. So that lesson for me is that I should increase in Good Deeds connected to that particular schools that particular Merit and not just stick to The Sensational component. Ah, look what happened on that day. Wow, isn't it? Interesting? It's not enough. Just interesting. It has to lead us to some our Vedas Hashem some hey draw some directive in are serving God in becoming better people and better Jews and better relationship both with Hashem and by now the mahavira with others. Okay next question. Do you recommend reading books on intimacy by known rabbis and teachers? So examples were sent to me but as I usually I don't like to mention names of authors or books, especially if it's a if it's thrown up, its of people throwing aspirations or questions or doubts on those VAT on the and the validity of those books. So let's just keep it in general the person writes. I don't know if you've read this in this book. But you recommend that siddim should read it. I don't mean to put you at odds with that author or different authors that have written different books. But I want to have an unbiased opinion not by the author obviously, but someone who's not written it and I trustworthy opinion. I'm a bargain. I want to know I should read it or should I wait till I get married or shine ever read it. So I want to expand on the questions. This is not about as every book obviously is the thyroid the responsibility of the author if it's a legitimate Rabbi and teacher and is respected and trusted in general has proven to be someone that's as an authority. So that's what defines Appropriate what's not appropriate if there's a question mark because the book may be controversial or their different opinions. So there I would refer you to your A/V of my spear let them give you their opinion overall on a broader quite a way you can say is should we be reading books all together on matters of this nature, even if they're written by rabbis and teachers maybe their intention is to reach people who don't learn Tara if you can learn it directly in the original sources of Citizen and Taylor, why do you need to read books on the other hand are sometimes a book presents it in a pat presences and in a palatable way in a way that's accessible and easier to use. I mean, I wrote a book Tour de meaningful life. So there is a chapter and intimacy there. I'm biased that I say go read that instead of reading the syllabus will tailor absolutely not but if it can help explain Tater or presentator in a relevant way then perhaps but that you have to ask you a rather much beer generally speaking, but then there's the then this course the question whether it's the weather should a book be written on these topics. Still have been books written even though they're written even if they're correct. Technically. Do you write a book a whole book on intimacy? For example, it's a good question. Because you can write everything right but intimacy by definition maybe shouldn't be written about maybe it should be more of a discrete approach on the other hand. You can say we live in a world today that people are not going to all come to you for personal advice or write a book can actually help people discover a deeper and more sacred view on intimacy. So arguments go back and forth and that's why you have to come down to who's the person asking the question. Is it a 17 year old boxer. She be reading a book on Intimacy in English. I probably not She's getting married and that book is well recommended and well resource and grounded and tater based. So, okay, so it's like learning the Hassan classes or color classes. So again, it depends on where you are who you are and what you need. That's someone I'd give me example of a book years ago. Someone had written about intimacy. Some people love the book was really helpful to them others did not you know, the different people have different views on a book but someone asked me I said look you can write you can write a book about sneeze and a very non sneeze take away a person could stand on Brooklyn Bridge and talk about the beauty of the of modesty and standing there in a way. That's a modest. So what do you say about that? Obviously, there's a confusion there. You can't talk about modesty in a modest way as to be talked about know. Honest way but as I said, there are many arguments of the case because we live in a world where sometimes desperate times need Desperate Measures, but always in the context of a locker would sneeze with subtlety that had was very careful in my chapter and intimacy and toward a meaningful life. I quote a letter from the lever about teaching children or teaching students about matters of intimacy that the rebel takes very clear in saying it should be done very discreetly by a teacher whose presence it discreetly and suddenly not in a way that's provocative or so. Sensational or controversial so talking about these matters always needs great care and sometimes that's the me so you could say the right thing but the wrong way and there's another thing that you have to consider. So I'm not going to pass gun or rule here on a particular book on a particular author or a particular person because there's so many factors involved but I do believe I just put things into a framework frame the question a way that hopefully Silas Holcomb has to chuva that when you ask your much beer love you can get a very clear answer. What is it? In for you under those circumstances, right? next question Why is this so much conflict? Why is there such conflict about saying it he so those of you listening don't know what that is. Maybe it's better that way. Here's the way the question was phrased in full entirety and its entirety. Why is it that but why is that the opposition of your he has to do with gimel Thomas in other words pose gimel Thomas began the disagreements. Why do the bandages have to argue isn't it? Pretty clear that the rebels said that the nation should say a key to add highest energy vitality. To the Mellows to the king as business in Topsham class just for the source. And if and for whatever reason you don't say hey, why do you have to argue not meaning you but rather the Babbage as a whole? So firstly let me refer you to episodes 46 and 264 way spoke about the topic arguments are never good. Let's start with a clear statement argument says Hey Piccata that people should not argue. I'm not talking about argument /m shamim. We arguing the subtleties of upshot or the direct them to predation like xiaomi and Hillel or other explanations and understanding Taylor, but if an argument becomes personal and becomes negative and becomes critical and person and personalized Never a good thing even if one person is right one person is wrong. There's ways to disagree in a loving way in a kind way and never in a way that's that's condescending and judgmental and all the other negative things. So that's clear and must be stated. So I have the same question as you I don't understand why any people argue. I understand people can become passionate and very strong and some people say by saying it you're causing damage. So therefore I'm angry now because I'm angry because you're causing the damage to the debit Chabad antioxidants and so on but sometimes I see is it really really purely for the cause or you are personally angry that needs to also be determined and the same with the other way around those that say you don't say it means you're a kafir your own believe you didn't I and they get angry. I don't see the anger the personalizing you have a disagreement. Let it be this agreement and always looking at that safer seeing what that ever said how different people interpret and yes before gimel Thomas there was more consensus and later with more disagreement. What does that say about everything not even going to go into that right now because it's not really relevant. I just want to make the point that Mike lake is is never good disagreements. I'm not going to go explain why their disagreements try to justify it. I do understand sometimes the reasons but that doesn't mean it has to that's correct. And I think if everybody lowered the volume and lowered the temperature would always be healthier and you can have a legitimate conversation with a temperament and what way to do it when whether it's something where you know, what live-and-let-live do whatever it is. You see fit the you don't have to become an antihero become of for and be more neutral about it those that want to say personally definitely. People should not impose their opinion on others different people have different needs different people have different meanings in it. And more than that, I really rely on what I've discussed in the those previous episodes. Okay. I just I want to refer to intimacy the previous topic. I forgot to cross-reference. I also spoke about what is healthy intimacy and how to present it in episodes 59 151 and 272. Okay, one more question, then we'll do a follow up and see this question that the essays the lay of the land. Next question. Does this cofee apply to pregnant women? to a pregnant woman Thank you for your wonderful classes. I have gained so much and I'm sure a lot of time and effort goes into preparing. I do appreciate it. I've been learning the daily tiny over the last couple days in hearing a lot about his kawhia controlling one's desires. Some people call it refraining abstaining. Does this kawhia apply to a pregnant woman? If yes, how can she Implement in to implement it when it comes to Cravings that she has it cetera. I know that she'll Canada does not take this matter lightly because it discusses during the discuss during the Holocaust of fasting Yom Kippur. What does this have to say about this? Thank you. So first, I want to refer you to episode 207 as a not direct topic of covered there, but just touches upon some of these topics. Let's begin very basic here comes the pregnant woman comes to anything connected to life the bearing of Life the preserving of Life Health Taylor McCabe. Ahem you shall live by Taylor not God forbid opposite and we completely focused proper primary number one. Is the welfare of that person the pregnant woman and of course the child she's carrying with her and that's why when it comes to fasting or other things we find all kinds of unions leniencies and we don't look to be more firm than God in this or more from in general now comes the mm Kipper. Yes. It's a very hip has the most serious day. So the bottom will give you an answer pregnant women. We very lenient if there's even a doubt if it doesn't make a difference or sat any risks another story and Robin and we'll address that and I'm not going to pass can on those matters. As far as this calf here is coffee is a Vedas Hashem a pregnant woman her being pregnant is the greatest kawhia the discomfort. She has to endure not that I know of it firsthand but I understand it and I witnessed it the discomfort. She has to endure the the nausea the all the other pains that are involved that came because of had tasted ass is the greatest discovery. Why would she want to it's part of the process so I don't think a Woman has to look for new additional is coffees. She has a craving. It's a craving because she's pregnant. It's not a craving Chris only has a type why God made that she should have a craving now if a woman feels a craving that she thinks is inappropriate or she wants to limit it to curb it. That's her personal thing, but I'm not going to hear and I don't think any love or must be I should get involved in that that's a personal thing. But even there I would say take it easy your biggest Discovery is what you're going through and having a child the mrs. Nefesh of a mother bearing a child. And that is kawhia outweighs all other is coffees. That's my short and sweet answer on this matter and Peak be be at ease and comfort you're doing the greatest possible thing. You're bringing a gods and Shaman a soul into a new child into a new person. And that is the greatest source of the greatest Merit and everything else Shadow is over is pales in comparison. So it's a vast Sky fear for other times or save it in general, especially when it's your mother and nursing mother a mother that's given birth to a child that could potentially Whatever they call it. So it extends even after the pregnancy and the scarf has to be used with discretion. I generally think that it's coffee. Maybe your husband should be practicing Morris coffee and some of the men who often I was remember once being in the delivery room in the delivery room that I didn't want that in the delivery department and I was out in the hall and I saw a guy whose wife is being carried into to deliver. She was a sous expecting it but baby was about to be born and he faints Not she he faints so he probably should doing a little Morris. Kawhia. Especially didn't have to endure any of that pain. And that doesn't mean the scaffold doesn't apply to women in general. But in general the scarf is more of a I would say to curb and to tame the more masculine aggression than the women's gentleness now, everybody can use it to some extent but I think I put it in the context I wanted to but it's a good question and thank you for that. Okay follow up. So first follow-up we're going to do is something from episode 248 a little while back the talking about the topic of a male must appear for women and of course basically negating the idea definitely on a lot of Leon a permanent or on ongoing level and I told by the lecture or something like that. So that was back into 48 and you can look it up but here's someone sent a follow-up. Amazing. How many people Miss listen to what you say or miss the Nuance? Anyway, my father has told over the following. I hope I have all the details, correct. If you want to say it over you can always confirm with him. Well, my father was in the man married, I think to three years and teaching high school girls in Detroit. Now mental front of Father used to come visit every year he would go to the boys classes if I heard them test them and give out Rajan kartha mandolin Raisins and Almonds. My father asked him to come to his girls class and our mental declined upon further discussion. My father grandfather figured out he didn't want to come because it was a girl's class. So my father asked I'm a younger man, and I'm allowed to teach them. Am I allowed to teach them, but you I'm a human. I'm allowed to teach them but you and L to the house and all the custard the device aboard with a white beard can't come talk to them for a few minutes. There are mental responded a beer have been an elder hostage wagon Faulkner. If I'm an older hosted as you put it be quiet and listen to what I said. That's the story. I've never heard a good explanation to the story of the story of my guess is as good as yours, but the only thing I can come up with this that not generation that I'd be gaves us special cases to deal with various slow. Is various missions as needed and maybe the mental said this was a thing he had to learn to develop at his stage. Anyway, I think as I explained the back then is pretty clear the approach to take to this. But since this came in as a story, I added to the equation to the record now vaccines still no more questions coming in. Thank god. Well, I don't know. Thank God the right way. I think we covered almost everything. But since there are some questions I didn't address I thought I would take one more and then slowly either. Finish up with it, but this was covered in episodes 269 through 273. So we covered it pretty extensively probably more than most topics. So one more question, I'll read it responds to your answer but the rebels view on vaccinations, I would like to ask a follow-up question. If a family has a child who had an adverse reaction to a vaccine such as repetitive seizures, what would the levels view Beyond vaccinating other children in the same family? What is with this still be the same of their other members of the extended family have also had the same. There are adverse reactions with the rebels view of getting a second opinion from a doctor was expert the subject matter wonder what college has adverse reaction to vaccines be relevant in this type of case. Would this be an exception to the rule? Is this something the rabbit discussed the Red Bar above all this isn't just a rabbit the rebels going with Taylor approach. I'm responding the Tate approaches. Will Smite them Laden after second. You have to be a healthy person. The table gives me the shoe store and a philanthropist gives permission to legitimate authoritative and appropriate and responsible doctors to determine what's a healthy situation. That's halacha says if you want to know what is health is a danger to someone is it not danger ask a doctor and then the tail is giving that whatever the doctor says two opinions three opinions bottom line the consensus of the doctors. Then the Tater gives the power of Taylor to that issue just like a sakelik. If indeed there's a verse reaction that I was not going to say God give a vaccine and put the child in danger. Obviously. The answer is as the doctor the doctor the personal Family Doctor Who Sold who knows the situation and say what should we do? We have one child that has a verse reactions. Should we risk it with another child and let the doctor make the decision. If you see the family people are reverse this and they're allergic or something else. Obviously, the vaccine is not the right thing to do because of the risks. This is part of medical decisions made all the time. It's not only vaccinations in many areas you go to a doctor they find that you're allergic to certain things are not going to give you a medication or they may not do certain interventions, etc. Etc. So the rebels definitely spoken about this, but the answer is always a straight answer, which is that what the medical profession has to say not crack doctors. Not only General but get good doctors. If you need more than one opinion get more than one opinion get the consensus due diligence do what's necessary talking about lives here and the risk and if there are risks absolutely look at it all that we spoke about was that ever said that there are vaccines are other things that have gone through testing and I've been proven to work. Does that mean a hundred percent? Obviously, there's always going to be exceptions. That's why we have to use our wisdom but we have to also understand that there is a tailor approach and a medical approach to things and it's that way everything into account. The many people take vaccines and don't have a reverse reactions. Remember we have to remember that as well. So all things have to be taken into account. Okay? Another question was regarding this. Regarding vaccination what does tried and proven mean? What does reliable manufacturers mean when manufacturers have liability removed? Why is it so vital? Why is it vital for children to receive the flu shot and varicella? What about kids that have serious reaction and parents fears for their life, but according to law still can get a medical exemption. I don't know every nuance and every detail, but we live in a world where you have pretty much freedom to do things. So so take one question at a time tried and proven there's words in her locker want me to try to improve it if something has been proven. A period of time and you have a consensus of enough legitimate doctors that say this is acceptable. And yes, the doctors are objective. If you prove that the doctors are subjective and their bias and Prejudice because they were bought off is one thing that would be tried and proven like anything in life. How do you know if someone's are trying to improve in pharmacist? I tried and proven Carpenter a tried and proven plumber a tried and proven a contractor you ask around you get references and you find the consensus on it. It reliable manufacturers the same thing that can any business. We will you're going to buy a product from a business. Are they reliable? Can they be trusted their ways to do research on these matters? If you start tearing everybody apart, there's no company on Earth forget about medical and pharmaceutical which were there may be more abuse than others. There's always going to be issues. That's why you need to do research and properly why they need the flu shots are a seller that you have to ask a doctor. I'm not going to answer that question and if there are reactions and side effects, right just Obviously that has to be taken into account. Okay, let's go now to the see this question. mmm So this question is too short like this. How can we make sense of the different ways that Jews practice Judaism when we have only one God and one Teta here's how the question writes it out more detail serious uncertainty. He titles is oh, it's a she. I'm not sure. I have a question that has been bothering me for some time much of the study of Judaism such as the talmud is filled with debates even in Jewish law, there is debate such as between the rambam and his colleagues or the base Joseph and I miss Alice that are more ambitious ruthless, but from what I've learned that all makes sense that all makes sense because there can be truths and different spiritual levels. And the origin of the sages Souls also matters. This is referring to just elaborate. They have example shammai coming from Buda Hill from Hesed that that affects their opinions, but what I really do not understand is how there could be two practical truths as in how do stardom and astronauts him hold differently in actual practice or how is the difference between different versions of prayer books? I don't mean a minor customer stringency rather. I mean real big differences how There'll be an argument about if the Taylor should have aleph or hey Bub Sadako. And different people do different things one is for sure wrong. Do we need to wear a hat and jacket for Lee for the Fourth Avenue to people that do not want where one do something. They should not as it would it be a deal for all to wear jacket and hat like that. God want different laws for different Jews not better or worse just different. Where do we see that? This was God's intention. How do we know that? This is what God wanted and not some technicality. I understand it is all Divine Providence, but is there a source for this idea can Find these ideas in the Torah to summarize. How does it make sense that there can be two Jews practicing Judaism two different ways if we have one God and one Torah. Okay. So first I'll refer you to episode 92 or I discuss some of this but let's let's just step back a bit and see this does addresses directly and not only see this others for them as well. First of all, let's start from all the way from the beginning. Taylor is God's blueprint for life, which means stock about ISO about Alma. He looked into the Taylor and with that he created the world. It measures the expression is that like an architect uses PSI? So Pincus is a blueprint potatoes that blueprint. So Theta is not just laws super imposed over existence. It's actually the creator of existence is telling us that our lockers and Tara what applied to each situation the same God that created the blueprint for the universe the universe meaning all of us as well. The human beings created human beings diverse. We're not clones and they are saying shellfish of is our minds think differently impacts of fan shop is our faces look differently. So even though we all originated from other magician as the mishna says in son hadn't that we all from case made from the Seal of other My from the original Parent are the merkava, but each one has a different variation where a lot of things that are similar but we have different variations. So how does then the Tariff it to that? There's the Taylor want one way for everybody to do. same thing when people have different approaches to things look and passion are say and you see all the seemed the leaders of the tribes. They brought car bonus to dedicate the mishkan the temple. And it repeats the same thing. They all brought the same thing the wagons and the carbon is the offerings and so on and so forth as the labor. Why do you have to repeat it again? And again say once a say the rest for the same thing to make the emphasis that even though they brought the same object. They brought it with a different curve one because reuven has one roll Shimon as another that's why when they cross Christie I'm safe. Collapse of the missile Osceola everyone went on their path. So there are things that equalized and our common denominator among us all. Shops, but how do you keep Shoppers? I'm not talking about the whole office. Now the spirit of shops. We all say spicy sauce MLK knows I'm a fraud but what's the cavern in the hood in the Shema? Even the same person shouldn't have the same cover an intention when they say she ma different times of the day definitely two different people so they can have a click we could be doing the same thing. But with different intentions we could also be doing this the the purpose of it is the same and doing it in different ways Raschi and An attempt film both of these to be Michelle Beadle of in the mayor to bind the mind in the heart, but as she held that the partials are the four chapters are written are placed in a certain order and I've been in time in a different order each one thought that was the way because the Tater itself did not spell it out. So it's very likely during which should have been those times. There were those that put it on like way later - she would be called rashes fill in the some of the better times. Pisa so spotted we did not have the issue of kidneys like rice for whatever reasons not getting now with it the mixing a song that means they're not keeping Pace in their communities pesach all the cup. All the power of pesach is done. Even though the kidney is there's no there's no they're not in any way more lenient. So even not just an intention that shamah is has a quota and hillel's Hazard but also in how lucky you can have different person Acid that I have in the city of La Vida. Loca was like about bastard the small the city of smoothness alcohol was like Schmo each one had their way they had their students that were aligned and that path. There are times when Taylor in history, they decided to make our craw which means that even though there were two approaches how luckily like salmonella the students have some I followed his rulings the students of Hillel followed. The healers rulings intended came a basketball that said No Time Has Come that we should find one how Locker that Is going to follow so when those instances happen that becomes the ruling that still does not negate shamah is Theory it's still true legitimate in the world of goodish amazed Theory, but an action even xiaomi has to behave like hello the the and where did we know this from actually Robin Lott says there's a posthumous bottom that says follow the consensus what I mean the consensus that Taylor says do this don't do that. So the meditation because I'll explain because when Mason was on the mountain has Hmm that didn't just gave him laws. There were things are lawful and measurements in a bar mitzvahs at 13 Bas Mitzvah 12 the first theorem there were things in the written part of this. Is it Feelin Shabbos? But then there was a lot of nuances. How do you do Shabbos? Exactly? What it says don't light a fire on Shabbos does that mean not to light a fire and not to sit and light like the like the egg that's looking interpreted. So the Shemp taught my shirt a turbine pollution it now Taylor with his commentary and explained and he said here is a way to interpret it like this for you nine ways to interpret this way 49 ways to interpret it that way so make sure is waiting and saying Tosha new sacem says acronym hotties. I'm giving you the theories now, you guys have to discuss it you I've been in the people that they later the sun had them actually Robin follow the consensus. Now consensus could be one way and then the next Generation can be a different consensus and then things that are rulings that remain that was rulers and their things till this day that are done by different communities in different ways. All this and the contrary demonstrates the beauty of a Teta applying to the dive applying itself to the diversity of life and yet there's a tremendous Harmony because we're all doing the same ultimately the same purpose just different ways. So that accounts for the differences while it being at a to access an academic hood that that a caduceus manifests itself in many different applications all with the same unifying Spirits all the connect the god. There's no such thing as a Mitzvah that's not connected to God God forbid, but how the connection and the details that can be different from one Community to the next from one party to another sock even in action. So I hope that covers answers the question and and with that we go over to the essays of this week. So we doing every week we do three essays. This is from the last essay contest 2019 top.
