[00:00:00] Speaker A: Okay, so thank you everybody. We are going to go ahead and stay muted during class and we will hold questions to the end. If you're going to use the chat, we ask that you only use it for things pertaining to the class. Tonight's class has been sponsored by Tova Teregan in memory of her father Rabbi Jerome Fishman.
His 33rd yard site is on Beis Nissan Arlene Katz to commemorate the arts that of her parents Sarabashmo Moshe Halevi and Baraf Leib Ben Avraham Hakohein Julie Meister to commemorate the art set of her mother in law Firma Bashmuel on the 10th of Nisan Linda Elman in memory of her father Gershon Leipa bin Leib Azriel, whose yard is Tesni Son and Esther Khan in memory of Fermat B. Naftali Elimelech and may the learning done be and Aliyah for all of their Nishamos.
It is my pleasure to introduce Mrs. Michal Horowitz. Since we last learned with Michal, she has published a wonderful new safer that is getting rave reviews. It is entitled Living with a Disability A Torah View and it weaves personal experience with Torah insights on relationships, parenting pin of self awareness and growth and embracing both ourselves and others with greater understanding and compassion. The book explores how to navigate life challenges through a Torah lens, strengthen our connection to Am Yisrael, Eretz Yisrael and Hashem in the process. And included in it are many insights for Pesach. At one point it definitely was available on the Farm stores in Baltimore. You can call them to see if they still have copies. If not, it is also available on Amazon. Again that is called Abled and as we know, with any sheer Michal gifts for us, it's going to be fabulous.
So, so with that I know that there is always so much toed and so much content from Michal. So with that I'm going to turn the program over to her.
[00:01:57] Speaker B: Thank you so much. Okay. Thank you so much. I do not want to be spotlighted for myself so I'm just going to see if I could change that.
How do I change that? Remove spotlight.
Okay. Okay. Shamu vacha to everybody. Shavuatov. And I want to thank Andrea and Masorah Baltimore for inviting me to present these dev Torah and actually for being the impet impetus for me to prepare this year because it was extremely eye openening and new for me and I hope will be meaningful the mudim for you as well. It's a beautiful shear series. This top Shem Peva, and that is exploring the meaning of Rosh Chodesh through shakes. You may Berishes. Do you have a Shiva? You may brish to someone doing Shabbos also. Yeah. So it's a beautiful exploration of Rosh Chodesh, its meaning and its depth. Actually, these were. This is what I was taught. This year, for our Rosh Chodesh year, we will use the lens of Rosh Chodesh to journey back to the ultimate beginning. I'll just let the template speak for itself. The creation of the world. Each month we will explore one day of creation corresponds to that month's day of Rosh Chodesh. So in other words, Yamchamishi just passed Lazarus Chodesh Nisan, uncovering its spiritual themes, textual depth, and personal relevance. I was also.
Granted permission. I'm not sure what the word is to use. I know where our hearts and minds of all of us are that if, if, if I would like and if possible and if relevant, to incorporate the current challenging times facing all of Kaisha into Arlee Mudim. So you're going to see how beautifully Yom Hamishi of creation, Rosh Chodesh, as well as the Matzav that Amisha and Artisa are facing, all tied together in the Grand Symphony of Torah. So the handout was given or sent out, but I'm also going to screen share it with you. Thank you for making me co host.
Here we go.
Okay, I'm just going to the top of my screen. You could see that I'm screen sharing my handout.
Thank you very much. I'm adding my pointer.
Okay, so if we're going to be talking about Yom Kham Yeshia Beretius, where we need to go back to his bracious. I tried very hard and I was preparing this year to take out Sheamus, but I saw earlier today when I was reviewing this year that there is in one location a place where Shamos has remained. It's possible I missed some, so I try to take it out. But please treat the handle as Darasha Kedusha, considering how much Torah it encompasses and it includes. Okay, let's look at day five of Creation through everything that is in national Koshan Hada will be translated into English. Here we go. First of all, very, very interesting about creation. Not specific to Yam Chamishi, but specific to Parak olives, that the whole creation is only with shame Elohim. No other shame of Hashem appears in Creation. There are other names for Akos, Baraku, Hamakam Akash Baraku the shame Havaya. No other name appears throughout creation except for Elohim. This is the name by which Akashbach who created the world by Zavlav Shlita points out that Elohim with a okay, Aleph then lamed, then hey, then you're done. Mem equals Hateva, which means the natural world, the elements of nature. Alokim and Atava both in Gamachia are r86. Because this is the manifestation of Hashem's power. L Aleph Lamid means power. And through this paracosberga created nature which the world is starting to wake up. We are here to learn about Rosh Kodesh Nissan.
The world starts to regrow.
We should merit to see the ultimate sprouting of Mashiach Ben David.
Elohim said what was created on the fifth day. Here we go.
Let the earth teem with swarms. Nefeshaya living soul faith and birds shall fly. Allah arts upon the earth on the surface of the firmament of the heavens. So rash he says, what is this posse? What is nefeshaya?
That these beings should have kiyos. There should be a life force in what is now created. So when the posse says the earth the water should swarm with. With creeping things.
It's not just creeping dust. It's not just creeping sand. It's a. It's a water eel. It's a water spider. It's something that has life form. It's a jellyfish. Charats. What is charats? So Rashi says, called of our chai. Any living being arts. That is not so. We are living beings that are gavo minards. Any life form that is not above the earth Karui Charats is called a creeping thing. We're on creation fifth day in the birds like fly. So it is a winged creature of life. You've ever. You know you have a fly when you have a barbecue in the summer outside. A fly is a wing creature kigon zavuvim, such as flies. What else? Basha kotsim in something called Scotsim like a shake. It's like crawling slithering creatures.
Those are translated as ants and beetles and worms. We have no. We have to be careful when we check produce that there's no toas. There's no worms, but brios. Furthermore, when it comes to mammals, there are also creeping things that crop, creep and crawl called charitz could gone the aar, the. The coyote. Those are translated by art school as the weasel, the mouse and the snail. The kim. So in Other words, the weasel, the mouse, the rat, the snail. Those are small things that creep upon the earth and other things like that.
And all fish are included in the term charat. That water is teeming with swarms of fish. Next Pasak, the board that I tried to do very clear for you. You should see the board that is the psukim and rash is right under every pasakadolim and Elokim created the Taninim Hagadol, Masi and Rashi. What that is, that's not the focus of our share. That's called nefesh. And every life force haro messes that creeps, that crawls the earth teems with that species. The ace call of kanaflamine and every winged creature according to its kind. So the blue jay is not the cardinal, is not the sparrows, not the robin, it's not the hawk, it's not the eagle, it's not the raven.
Hello, Kim. See, saw that Everything that created is good. So what do we have now? We have the earth, the birds flying over the firmament of the heavens. And we have the the seas, the oceans full of life forms that are swarming. What is taninim? Okay, this is very, very, very interesting. I'm not teaching it now. I think it's beyond our ability to fully, I should say like this. It's beyond my ability to fully grasp exactly what this madras means. It's not the focus of Rashid. But we're doing rashes on the sukim of my Sabrishes for fifth day.
Marks a great creature in the sea, a gray fish.
And the manager says, who live? Yasanu Benzuga. This is the Leviason and his mate Shabbaram Zachariah created the vyas and male and female.
Killed the female and he salted her or preserved the female of your son for the righteous, for the world to come.
If this creature would have been fruitful and multiplied, the world would not be able to upheld the because of the massive size of the taninim hagadolim, the male and the female, they couldn't reproduce. At that time, the world not have been able to be upheld. Nefeshaya again this possib tells us as called Nefesh Chaya. All the, I should say every soul of life that teams in the water, it has a living form in it. Now this is going to the next posse. Ready?
This is really going to be the point of departure for our sheer.
After Alokim created the winged creatures that fly over the firmament of the heaven and he created the teeming life that is in the oceans, the seas and the waters. God bless them.
Before Hashem blessed man in 127 and 128 to be fruitful and multiply. First, Hashem blessed these animals, these life creations. And Alim blessed them, saying, Pru uru omilu as hamayim bayamim.
Be fruitful and multiply and fill up the waters and the seas.
And the birds, the winged creatures, let me say, should increase on earth. Now, why do they need a bracha? Rashi says, I don't know. Maybe on Chavez you had gafelta fish or salmon or sushi or.
I remember when I was younger, when. Not so much younger, when I was younger, when sushi first came out, I didn't understand. I thought it was like a. Not kosher food. I still remember thinking, how could people be eating sushi? Is it a nat kosher? Okay. We've come a long way since that. I promise. True story. But anyway, the mice that. So you ate probably some sort of fish species over Chavez, maybe Sudashu. See, we had tuna salad. Whatever you had. Something about fish. Why do they need a bracha?
They are diminished.
They're diminished. They're lessened. Why are they diminished? Unless in Vitzadin. Because what does mankind do? Mankind handsome.
What happens? They are food. They are consumed. We diminish these species.
Therefore they need a blessing.
And then Rashi says something else. And you should know, even the animals that were created also needed a bracha. So why, if you look on day six, the animals were not blessed.
Shaasi the killer. But Hashem did not bless the animals. Because if you would have blessed the animals, that would included the nachos. And in the. The nachos. Do we want the nachos and zimparakima?
The God tell you not to eat from all the fruits of the garden. You'll be like God. God doesn't want competition. We don't want the knockos to have a blessing.
That's why Hashem refrains from blessing the animals.
So that the nachos would not be blessed. So what does it mean? Hashem told the fish the teeming life forms in the water. Pru urvu. So Rashi says, Pru lashan pre like fruit. Literally. Cloma as super. Just like a tree makes fruit and everything's starting to blossom. In the spring, all the life forms on the trees are going to come back. We're going to have bananas and oranges and apples. I know we don't realize that there are seasons because we got them all year round from places across the globe. But let's say the global impact and footprint was really small and you only ate really what grew in your yard, which is probably how it was in the olden days. So you would see life coming back. Kar AOS make fruit. Uravu. Why does it also need to say to the fish pru or revu? If it says be fruitful, Rove many why do you need to say rove?
Ella proof. It would just have said pru as in pre fruit.
Maybe the fish would have taken the bracha to mean remember this is a bracha to the fish.
So maybe the fish would have said ah. Every salmon would say, when I spawn, not going to go back upstream to the. Back to the waters in Alaska to where I was born. It's so amazing. Hashem put so much.
No, I'm not going to go back upstream and have to go past the grizzly bears who are waiting to catch me and the fisherman. That's. Why should I go back? I'm going to have to spawn to have so many eggs that the male salmon will then fertilize and then the salmon dies and a new generation starts. I'm gonna have one fish. I'll have one salmon. If it would have only said Pru. That's a fruit.
So one salmon, one tuna would have given birth to one salmon and one tuna.
So the person comes along and says, no, that's not enough.
Many Pru yes. Have offspring. Uravu. How many offspring should you have? Allah and fish don't have one baby at a time. I'm not talking about mammals in the water like whales and dolphins. We're talking about fish. Those are mammals. Okay.
One gives birth to Takala.
It was evening, it was morning. Yam Hamishi here we have our fifth day. Now we're going to go to Medrash Barisha's Rabba parisha Gimmel Simon. Okay, this is actually a madras on the beginning of Bracish. Okay. I. I assume I shouldn't say that.
My father's an attorney. He should live and be well. On the 11th year in her house came out even though it wasn't really a Debra, don't be nervous. But it was if it was 11 derbers thou shall never assume. I'm going to say, I hope you have a bracious in front of you since we're learning creation and my subracious if you don't. Okay, you're gonna see the suckum come to life in the magos. But this magic begins by speaking about the first sukim of the Torah. How does the Torah begin? Bracious brother Kim. Easter Shamay. If you have your braces in front of you just the reason I assume maybe an educated hope is a better statement is because if we're learning my seoritious, I hope you have your hamish there. Okay, but listen, if you don't. If you do turn to brac. I'll p.
If you don't listen.
In the beginning Elohim created the heavens on earth. We could probably spend a lifetime having learning that pasuk. Okay, now what comes next? What are we taught?
The earth was chaos.
I'm reading you Pasuk Bays from Mauritius and darkness over the surface of the deep.
This, the spirit of God, if you will, was hovering over the surface of the water.
We're going back to day one. And God said there should be light by here are and there was I. The first thing Elohim created was I sees the light that is good God separates between the light and the dark.
God called the or the light day to the darkness he called night.
Okay, now we're going to go to the medjesh.
Says as follows.
From the beginning of the creation of the world.
That means Hashem was the Ain Sof who exists before time.
Before time through whatever the end of time means the infinite.
Saw that on the world stage. And Taft there'd be my saying shots are deeds of the righteous.
And my same shall be Shaim very very great deeds of the wicked.
And we see the wicked.
The puzzle in the beginning of time.
I can't use the word through his imminent presence that there would be deeds of the wicked and deeds of the righteous.
So when the pashuk says the world was a primordial chaos, that Tohu, that confusion, that void, that blackness, that darkness where nothing makes sense, those are the deeds of the wicked.
Said let there be light.
That he has to introduce light into this world because otherwise the Rashad will destroy the world that he created. So Elohim said, let there be light. These are the deeds of the righteous.
Sorry. Then the pasuk says oh by the way, anything that's boarded in the magistrates rabbit is the words of the Pasak just like I gave to you. Over here the sucking are boarded. So to make it easier for you, everything in the medrash that's bolded is the words of the posse. Okay, so Hashem says the mass same of the Rashaim those are tohuvo. He sees the man same of the tzadikim that's the creation of our light.
And then the Pasha tells you that Alokim separated between the light and the dark. Ah, so the measure says, why did he separate between Bain Ma saying shouts are sh. And it says that hashem separated between the light and the dark. It means he separated between the deeds of the righteous and between the deeds of the wicked. You see, it's blue.
Now we go down to the Atosi where it's blue.
Hey, I really tried to make it very clear. The Atio safe is a commentary to Major Shraba. So? So the atofis at explains as far as look.
As follows. Meaning to teach us.
What is known to us.
Sadiqim will be paid back Tashlum Gamul, the brachos of Akosh Baraku, for their righteousness will be paid back with wickedness. Infinite wickedness. Shame. Hashem, your car of the posse says the Mishli. The name of the wicked will raw for their wickedness.
The interpretation is separated he separated between the deeds of the righteous and the deeds of the wicked. How so? Tadikim the gun Aiden, the Gehennim who separated between the righteous and the wicked. The righteous are going to Ganedan. The wicked are going to get him.
These ones are going to eternal life, that is a Tzadikim. And these ones are going to internal shame. That is the Rasheim. So that's how the ATL fix. Yosef explains the difference between the deeds of the righteous and the deeds of the wicked. That of course, who separated between them. And we know that the Tzadikim receive to bask in the glory of the Sheena and the Rashaim have an eternal shame and eternal banishment and eternal embarrassment in Gehenna. Okay, the magist continues. And God called the light, which we now know represents the good, which we narrow represents. The Tzadikimi called that Yom.
These are the deeds of the righteous. They bring light to the earth.
The righteous bring light, bring so much Koshach.
They bring so much Khoshakh to our world.
So when God called the or Yom, but to the darkness he called night.
These are the deeds of the wicked.
And then it says it was evening, it was morning. One day.
The Rashaim are Tohu. There are Shaim are Koshach. The Rasharam are Lila, the Rasharmer. Arif.
You know what I just realized that's very interesting? That's four terms.
Tohu, Kosha, Laila, Arif. That's really cool. I did not realize when I was preparing because of Course, you know, there are begolios. It ties very much into Pasak Wanna. There's many reasons why we drink the Arbakoso, by the way. Not only because of the arbor.
And there will be four redemptions. Call this Bava, The rivers of Babylon. There we sat on, we remembered.
Is one, Parasamadai is two, Yavan is three.
Romy, which we're in, is four.
We say the sukum and now God shall pass.
Darkness. Godota great with no phallus. Allah. The manager says Avram Avinu. You say these took him. You're going to say it in the Haggadah. Avram Avinu didn't just see the Shibun Mitsrayim, he saw the Arba God here. So it's very, very famous at the Arabic. That's why we have four cups of wine. One of the reasons we're symbolizing that from each exile we will be redeemed from Babel. We were redeemed from Paris, a mother, we were saved from Yavin. And ultimately Halavaya will begin this week is Travis of God. Alhine hashem, please.
So there's four terms. I have to add it to my own notes. I don't know paramute a second. But there's four terms. There's Tohu, Koshak, Lila and Araf. That represents the Masame, so the Rashayam. And we can say that it represents the Arba Goliath.
On the other hand, there was morning. The day that the day begins at night. Because for clay. So we don't end with night, we don't end with that, we end with morning.
Yeshua tzadikimas.
These are the deeds of the righteous.
And then finally it says, so the class here of the Manjush is. It should say Yom Rishum. If you look by all the other days of creation, like, look Yamchamishi. Okay, by the fifth day, there's Yamchaini.
Hey, Hashishi is also an outlier. So say really Yamshishi. It says Yamahashishi. So day one and day six both have kashas. Should be Amishi, Ravi Shishi.
So why is it Yama echad? It shouldn't say Yam echad. You want to fit the pattern. It should say Yom Bishop, that's not our question. That's the question of Chazal. So the measure who gave them one day, the Aza Yama Kipurim. Wow. The measure says that the Yamah by Maisa Berish, that distinguish between Risha And Sadiqim Koshach and R. Lila And Yom is yama keeperim. Let's go back to the Ethios. If you see it's orange, it's orange because it's telling us to go down to the ato safer. The ato safe is in orange.
The at is explaining the measure.
The measure should have said.
It should have said Yamisham, which would have fit the pattern of all the other days is really an outlier. I'll came there for Darash al Yama kibrim. So the Medj says this has to be a special yama echad. If the Torah doesn't say Yom Rishon, it can't just be one day. It's referring to a special day. What is the most special day on the Jewish calendar? Yama Kippurim.
Why is it called Yom Echad? Because what happens on Yom Kippur?
Kaisho becomes a goy one nation hall of I I think. I think. I think that sadly when the Umas all am rise to destroy us.
The Misra doesn't distinguish between head coverings, accents, Svardim Ashkenazim, ta sa kippah shuga, black hat.
Women who cover their women who don't cover there. Everyone should do according to what the Rav tells them. Of course, is the halacha la maisa. But the Mishra does not distinguish.
Everyone has to go into the same shelter.
It's we have to remember, we have to internalize.
We have to know the power of Echod. We brought such a light to the we bring such a light to the earth that we are united. Isaiah shabbonasim. And perhaps that great light of unity can banish the darkness that the Rashai and bring to the earth.
Because Kaiser on that day becomes one nation.
Just like the Malacharis work in tandem. And they are one Aguda. They're one band, they're one group. They work together. Vishalam B. How do the Malacharis work? They work to do what's in Hashem. The Malachars are Anaguda. They're one group or one ban.
Every Malachi understands. I have a Tafka. You have a Tafka. That one has a T. This one has a Tafka. I mean, very sweet guy that the Duat and Hashem anyam Kippur. That's how Klais becomes the harvest shot him. Look at this.
Talking about from Clyde. So I'll do to Shuva. Here comes Sadiqa Maven Sadika on Yom Kippur Yomratson is a day of goodwill.
It's a day when God's kindness seeks us out.
It's a day of forgiveness and atonement.
The chain Osmis achit herabitov Leos hakol kulatova. And on that day, when Kaizo does teshuva and we grab the power of Actus like the Malachi or Sharis, and even the Rashaim come back to Kosh barku and become tzadikim. We tap into the power of chassed Salika Kapari translated that already. And then we are mit ahay hara betov. There's unity between the bad and the good. The song about the sinners of Amish or the Sadikim.
Everything becomes God with a call.
Now, very interestingly, the at yosef continues and quotes the Nazar Kodesh. Okay, I did it for you. And as we're praying this year, if you look under the English translation of the atio safe, I did the math for you. If you look on your handout, you'll see it. Okay, Right under the translation.
That's my own work. You'll see. You see what I did for you? Okay. Hasatan in gamacho. Go down to it for a minute. I'm highlighting it on my screen. Hasatan and gamacho is 364. Hey is 5, known is 50, Tess is 9 and sin is 300. That's 364. That equals shin isamic dollar. Shin is 300 Sama, $60 is 4. That's 364. So the word hasatan, the prosecutor equals.
Let's go back up to the etio safe kabasha amuhazal. Just like the sages say, the word hasatan is the same gematria as the letters. Hebrew letters. I shouldn't say Hebrew to teach you. It's Aramaic.
On every day of the year, the Satan has permission to prosecute against us. These tuni is like the word Satan. It's Aramaic with a sam instead of a sin. Every day of the year, the Satan has permission to prosecute against us.
He does not have permission to prosecute against us because the year has 365 days.
Hasatan equals 364 days.
So he has permission to prosecute us every day of the year, except for one day, which they must be that he can't prosecute against us. The day when we all unite.
Because unity is the greatest. What father does not want to see their children get along?
The most horrible one of the most horrible pains for a parent.
It was my focus between children.
So how can we understand that on the human realm? But when it comes to Koshburg, we think it's okay if we don't all get along.
Who's our father? He's a father every Jew. Doesn't mean you have to be like another Jew. If their mahalach is not necessarily according to Allah, Believe the judgment up to Kosra, the missiles coming, everyone at the same time.
So the year has 365 days.
Hasatan, the prosecutor, equals 364. Which teaches us that he has permission to prosecute against us. 364 days a year. But on that last day of the year, when Kaisha is through Teshuva, when we access the chassis of God, the kindness, the sleek on the Kapara, he can't prosecute us. That's the beginning of the medrash. Now we're going to continue with the magos. I just wrote continued. It's the same address. The magic doesn't take a break. I just set it up like this to give you the ato safe. On the first part of the magic. It's the same address. Okay. It says continued. It's a mag restoration. Rob is still partial Gimmings Gimmel Simon Press. Let's go on.
Now the magic quotes are be tan kum bar. Now, I know you're wondering what this has to do with the fifth day, this madras Allah. So just bear with me, please.
Says gives another reason why it's called Yom Echad. He says this is a distinguished day. It's not like any of the other days. Four things were actually created on day one. Interesting. What were they? Harim Shamayim, the Arats, the mountains, the Shamayim, the firmament of the heavens, the arets, the land, and the aura and the light. Okay, they're interesting. So by why, by the way, is this so significant? That four things were created on this day. So it gets a tory.
So I'm going to tell you, this is my magic from where I prepare. So the Mandrash Rabba art school footnote explains. Ready. The creation of four things was unique to the first day, as on each of the ensuing days of creation, only three things were created.
Because of the first day's uniqueness, four things were created. The verse refers to it as one day.
It's interesting, actually, because we spoke about the four other shoulders of darkness which correspond to Arbogolias.
That's very interesting. The four corresponding terms of light, which Refer to of course the Arbala Shona of redemption.
And perhaps four creations on that day means that Kashbaraku's world will always endure, even when those arbogaulias rise to destroy us. Of course, the bore olam and what he creates will endure forever.
Says something else. What was so special about Yom Echad? Was it because four things were created instead of one? Was it because it's the core of Yomiki Burim Rabiyudin says something different.
On this day singular in Israel, there is nothing else in the world except for no other beings. We have to because what was in the world we have to go down to the eats Yosef. That's why it's pink.
Says as follows.
Oh, this is very important. First year.
The Malachim were not even created yet. The only thing created on day one was only a kosbach. When we say no other beings, it means not even the heavenly angels were created.
Okay. That you see the ho Safer shalom.
So therefore Hashem was echad.
So when were the malachim created?
So that means the foregoing accords with Rabbi Yohanan, but does not accord with Rabbi Hanina. You will see the opinion of Rabbi Yohanan and then you will see the opinion of Rabbi Hanina. They have two different opinions. Okay. Rabbi Yokana Rabbi says, oh, the Malachim recruited on the second day.
Like the possess into him Hamikara Bamayim Aliyosav Hasam Avim roofs his upper chamber with water. Hakar Bama the the walls the cure of water were in the upper realms.
He makes the clouds his chariot.
He rides, so to speak, or goes upon winged spirits who conceive.
And this is barking after you say it in Rosh Chodesh. Actually you say it on Rosh Kodesh. Every Rosh Chodesh after sheer Shalyam.
I just realized that also. Oh, some. I mean I didn't just realize. And I realized it's connection to our share makes the Malachim his wing creatures, spirits. So Rabbi Yochanan says Malachim are created on the second day. Okay.
No, Abihanina says no Bahamishi nivru Malachim. The Malachim were created not only fish, Not only of your faith, as in birds of your old faith. Allah Aretz refers to angels.
Winged creatures are on the fifth day, says Rabbi Khanina. The angels were created. How do I know? Because the posse says by my separations. Which is where we started here the all feel arts. This is talking about the wing Creatures of Bruce uk and the posse says so since it says initially they fly with two wings. Your faith and it says in beracious by my subracious are very something I stress all the time. Really? Hazal are very tuned to words in Tanakh that are the same. So if you have a word in this place in Tanakh and a word in that place in Tanakhaz, I will often tell you the connection between these two words. So if it says you owe faith by my separations and it says you owe faith by the malachim, it means that on day five, Hashem created the angels.
Rabbi Luliani Bartavari Basham Rabiar.
Biamission.
Rabbi Luliani Bartavari says in the name of Rabiesak, whoever's opinion you hold by everyone agrees. On the first day it was only a coach.
Okay? Shaloma. So you should not say. Why is it important to tell us that only a Kosh Barku was so you should not say, oh, you know, Michal was in the south of the firmament and he was creating the southern part of the firmament. Gavriel Bitsvo. No, the angel Gabriel was on the north part of the firmament.
Who's in the middle? You should not think that no matter which opinion you hold on the first day it was an evil malach. I'm paraphrasing.
Day one of creation because you shouldn't say, oh, Gavril is here.
Was here.
And of course Brock was in the middle. What? No, because right. Who's creating everything? Ella rather the posse says in Yeshaya call I'm Hashem. I made all.
No teshamayim Lavadi. I stretched out the heavens by myself. Roka hearts may et I stretched out the earth may E T Me eat. Don't read it. Me e t that Hashem created the world from me. Read it Me ET who was with me?
Who was with me by the bria olam. The answer is nobody himself was there.
Okay, I forgot to include these two on your handout. These sources are missing. Please write it in for yourself. If you printed out the handout at this point, you're going to know both of these. They're very familiar to you. Okay.
Are actually very important for purposes of our sheer. We are going with the opinion of Rabbi that you know is created on the fifth day.
Now. And Kriya Shema. Now what is the purpose of the malachim? I'm recording from my own notes for a minute before you look at the hand. Okay.
What is the tough kit of angels in this world. So if Shamsa fall, her says, if you look at the word Malachi, it's really the word Malach with an aleph. Malach ma', am is the word Malach King with an aleph of Shamsher. Falhou says the angel is a representative of Hashem.
The angel does different Tafkim on this route there's different Malachim and they represent the will of Hashem that will be done as well.
There is one God and the angel carries out the will of one of who came to Avraham's temperation to say who went to save Low from Saddam and Amara, who fought with Yaakov on the river Yabok Malachim. So we see that a mouth does the rotten of Hashem. Visa vicla. You saw, however, the Malachim have a very important Tafafkid I these two sources. Take a pen, please write them down. One is from the Kriya Shema Alamita. We say it every night in the Krish Malamita and the name of Shem, the God of Israel. Before you go to sleep, buddy. We say Gabriel.
Oh, I see. Here's another Shamos. These sheets have Seamus. I tried.
Please treat them as dwarmshaba khadusha.
So why do we say at night before we leave down we go to sleep? Of course, of course. Protects us. Of course is the.
But he has and they are Malachim. And so we say in the name of God, in the name of Hashem, the God of Israel. By my right hand is the angel Michael and my left hand is the angel Gavriel. Before me is Uriel. Behind me Israfa. And upon my head is the Shekinah of a Koshbacher. So we see Malachim, our very important important every night.
Furthermore, the Pasak tells us in Yoshi Bisayser Elian to Hillem. You see, it says 9111. Okay, I forgot, included. There's just two things I forgot.
Because his angels, meaning God's angels, he commands upon you to guard you upon all your race. So we see that Hashem sends angels specifically to. To guard Clayisha.
I'm going to quote before we go further in our handout, okay?
Actually, something for me safer abode. Okay. For those of you who read it, it may sound. It may be familiar to you, but I decided to quote from it because when I was writing the shear, I actually write about the angel Gavriel. And nothing could to do with Yamchamishi or the Madras. But I Want to give you an example of what is the tasked of Gavriel for the destiny of Kaisha. So I'm quoting from Ibut. Okay.
Page 120 through 122.
[00:43:25] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:43:25] Speaker B: I'm not quoting. First I give them madras in the lotion of the madras because of time. I'm not doing that. So then I quoted in English. I'm just going to give you the English. Okay.
It says about Passparo that Moshe was brought to Baspar Shamo's parag beast Pazagura. Okay. There's a lot of insights connected to Gula and Moshe and Nissan. Because Moshe is a man not of words.
There's a lot of insights about the enslavement. Okay. The Meissa, his birth mother who nursed him, brings him to Ba Paro la Ben. She is tim a son. So I'm quoting Madras Shamos Rabba. Ready?
And she brought him to the daughter of Pharaoh. And he was to her son. Pharaoh's daughter. The wash on the mattress is in the safer. First in Hebrew, in Russia, of course. Then my English. Okay. Pharaoh's daughter would kiss, hug and dote upon Moshe as if he were her son. That's what the measure says. And she would not remove him from the king's palace. And Pharaoh would also kiss him and hug him. Yeah, that's what the measure says. Empire would kiss him and hug him. And Moshe would take Pharaoh's crown off his head and place it on his own head as a foreshadowing of what Moses was destined to do to Pharaoh. And he became order when he would undermine and destroy Pharaoh's kingdom. Continues. The madras and the magicians of Egypt were present when Moshe took the crown. And they said to Pharaoh, we are fearful of this child who takes your crown and places it on his own head. He is going to be the one that they say is destined to take your throne.
The one who the saviors, the archae, the astrologers predicted the savior is going to be born because of this fear. There were those amongst advisors who said to kill Moshe by the sword. There were those who said to burn him. Yisroel was sitting amongst the advisors. And he said, this lad has no understanding of what he is doing. His actions do not prove anything. Do not kill him. Everything in the safer. That's in the original. Ashan is translated. So if you read it, it's a very beautiful magesh. I don't have time because we still have to get to Mahogosimikora and put our hosier Together.
Do not kill him. Rather test him. Bring before him. If so, you may have heard the story. It's not a meister, it's a madras Raba. Okay, do not kill him. Test him. Bring before him a piece of gold and a piece of a coal. C O A L on a tray and see what he stretches his hand out to. If he stretches his hand towards the piece of God, it means he wants your crown. Kill him. But if he stretches out his hand towards the call, this proves he has no understanding. And do not kill him immediately. They brought the tray before Moshe. I'm just going to quote the end of the medrash in the lash on Hakodesh.
Immediately. They brought before him God and calls Vishalach Yado Lakh has a hav.
Moshe sent forth his hand. He wants the God. It's a foreshadowing of what's going to be. He's going to take the crown. He's going to destroy King Egypt. Egypt. He's going to ruin Pharaoh.
Who stopped Moshe? At the last second, Gavriel came and pushed his hand away from the cause and I'm sorry, pushed his hand away from the gold to the cause.
Moshe took the coal in his hand, he put it into his mouth and his tongue became burned.
Okay, the the chapters on Moses.
But the point is why I may bring you this Magash who stopped Moshe from taking the God.
It's not that he felt on his own. I shouldn't take it. By the way, it reminds me, I didn't think of it when I was preparing sheer or I would have looked up the magic asteroid rabbit of the exact lotion for you. But the Esther Rabba says something very similar by Esther Hamalka when she was going to the king after three days of fasting.
She was so weak from fasting, she was fainting. She couldn't stand. I didn't think about it, but it ties in so beautifully. The angels were holding her up to the king. The angels had to actually hold her up to give her the cochles to walk. So the sages here. I'm quoting Abel, page 121. Feel us in on what is not recorded in the Torah text. A young child is faced with a test of two objects. Shiny gold and glowing calls. Any curious child might naturally reach for either of these objects. Yet in this instance, Moshe reached for the God.
Had Moshe reached for the gold, it would have proved fatal. Hence, as he extended his hand, the angel Gavriel swooped in, pushed his hand aside and ensured Moshe Took the burning cause instead. What is the unique mission of the angel Gavriel?
We got the opinion of the Magos oath your oh faith Angels are created on day five along with the fish. That's very significant. When it says off your fave it doesn't mean fish and birds. Even though it does, the Josh is fish and angels. Oh my gosh. It's so significant. Stay tuned.
What is the unique mission of the angel Gavriel? I wrote in my Shaffer that it is he who entered the scene to save Moshe and in saving Moshe ensured Yitzchiyam it's right and ensure the saving of Kaiser and insured Matantora Rabbi Joseph B. Salvation teaches the angel Gavriel is the executor of Jewish history which is planned and willed by God Salvation says I quote him here he is the angel that watches over Jewish history is the Shalia of the Almighty, guides events and pursues its objectives. The angel Gabriel forces the impact of Jewish destiny so that the Jewish people act in a way that God has planned. The Mal Gabriel quote is the executor of of Jewish destiny. So we see that for Kaiso Malachim are extremely important indeed and it is fascinating that they're created on day five with the fish. What's the connection between fish and angels? Oh my gosh. I have to go back to the screen share. Ah, I'm so excited. There's a totally new share for me.
Totally. And I was only forced major labor of love to prepare it because the topic was very unique. We're going to learn Rosh Chodesh through the lens of creation.
What? Okay. This is not something I've ever taught before so may God enlighten me. Bar Hashem let's go. Ready? Let's start to put this all together.
When do we see? So now we've established. Okay, recorded the Medjush recorded Abel record of salvation who's quite an enabled Malachim protect Kaiser Malachim direct Jewish destiny for our Shmira I went back to the hand that you could see him back on the handout. Yeah Ladies, could you see I'm back on hand? Okay, by that's why every night in the Krish we invoke this of the angels who surround us like the onane cover to protect us. That's why if a person feels fear we also say by the way in Krishna Amita we also say the same it's in Krishna God will command his angels Two proofs. Moshe Gavriel calls Zahav Esther Malco going To the king, angels are created the same day as the fish. Oh, this is so exciting. There's a typo here. Okay. This year took a long time to repair and it was very late at night.
There's a mistake here. Please correct it. This is supposed to say 15 through 16, not 16 through 17. It was a typo. I made a mistake week. I'm telling you to please correct it. Voracious test. Vav through Tazai. Okay?
[00:51:24] Speaker A: Right.
[00:51:24] Speaker B: Good Memches. Yaakov Avinu is on his deathbed before he even blesses his own sons, which I also speak about enabled, actually, why does he bless his grandsons before his own sets?
He blesses Ephraim and Menasha. What is the bracha? Please correct it to braces 48, 15, 16. In your notes, Yaakov blessed Joseph. What's the greatest blessing for a parent? When your children are blessed.
Therefore, Yaakov said to Joseph, oh my gosh, it's 854. Ah, we start on time.
First Yaakov says, you know God, my forefathers walked before him.
God, who was my shepherd from my inception until today. You know these words off by heart.
The angel that protects me from all bad should bless these lads. The Carvam Shamiva. Shame.
They should call these lads in my name and the name of Abraham and Isaac.
Where have we seen this before?
My separations.
The fish are commanded Pru or Vuitton. Well, look at this Clay Shah is going to be protected by an angel. Oh my gosh. I love this year.
I'm very excited. Thank you, Hashem. I'm really very excited.
It was a very long Baruch Hashem, beautiful Shabbos. But a long few days, two kids in there to show whatever. Just Baruch Hashem. I'm so excited. By Torah, my gosh.
Okay, we're running out of time, so I have to calm down and keep going.
Okay, so Yaakov says, who's going to bless the future of Kaiser? The Malach should guard them.
Now, how does he bless Kaisro? The Yidgula Rove. It's very famous. Kasha. Why doesn't he say? I don't know. They should just be many Viet. Obviously the church is dog, so that's not lost on Khazal. The Yaakov says, oh, the peniso should be so many. How many should they be thereof, like fish. So Rashi says, but we're going to propose something else. Rashi says, which angel? The angel that protects me, that is sent to me in my time of Travail. I give the boys the bracha that that angel should guard them. Okay. We're skipping the rest of Ashi just because of time.
Why are they like f.
Kaiso should be like fish that are parim viravim. That's what we saw. My. My separations. They're fruitful and they multiply and ain't.
Okay, I'm going to my. I'm going back to the top of your handout.
The beginning of Rashi to parak Aleph Pasuk base. We did it already. I'm going back.
God blessed the fish and he said we did this rash already. God blessed the fish and he said he should be fruitful. You should be many. You should fill the seas on the waters. Let's go back to Rashi. I didn't point it on purpose in the beginning because I want to highlight it. Now we're going to look at it with new ice. Why are Kai so like fish?
In order to know why Kai so it should be pure who like dog.
Which is what Yaakov says. We have to go back to understand what's with the fish.
Does that not sound like Kalisha?
We are diminished because we are hunted and we are consumed.
And therefore we need a blessing. By the way, if you want to see Vaokin Osem used in the context of or Mamish like food, so look at Devaram, Chapter 31.
You'll see explicitly the posse says, when Hashem hides his face and the enemies rise against us, they eat us.
That's a lotion of the Pasak.
Let's look at this rash again. Yaakov Avinu says, you know, the angel that was created on D5 should bless these boys like the RAV says, the executor of Jewish destiny.
The angel who's the Shalia of Hashem was created on the same day as the fish because the fish Kla Yisrael need angels. Rabbi Kiva and the Gemara, right before his death, he compares amisol to fish and water. Another source I didn't think of. I wouldn't have time for it anyway. Rabbi Kiva, right before his death, compares us to fish and water. We are like fish, but the fish need a special bracha. Why do they need a special bracha? Mechashrim?
Because they shoe missiles to Arad and they shoot Rahman al Atzlan and they issue missiles to Demona. And a beautiful young boy in the shaman was killed on Shabbos. 18 years old and they want to kill us from Lebanon to Minish us.
A farmer was killed this morning in the north.
They want to make us haser mina olam. We're taka like fish.
They hunt from us. They hunt from us. Meaning they take from us. They hunt usam. Look at Devaram 31, 17, 18. They consume us.
So itaka need a bracha to be poor.
What's Mayim biamim? You want to know what the greatest bracha is? When you stay in the waters of Torah be you want to know how you'll be pure? Vu you want to be how you'll be fruit for Kai so revu your multiply. Fill yourself with water of Torah well deserve in my motor.
Let's go back to Yakov. Avinu my gosh.
Whoo. I'm like, I teach a lot of classes.
I taught this morning.
When I teach, I'm. There's a reason I'm saying that I literally never cease to be amazed by Torah. It's like, not an act. It's not a joke. Sometimes after, I'm like, michael, why are you embarrassing yourself? You shouldn't be so effusive. Like, I can't help it. I'm like, I'm astonished by Torah. I never thought of this in my life. So I thank you for inviting me to give this year. Thank hashem that I got.
So Yaakov says you're going into exile. Where did Yaakov give the bracha? In Mitsrayim. He would suffer base. He knew that they were going into a very long exile. He knew it was going to be difficult. He knew it was going to be dark. He knew it was going to be abdus years. He knew that.
He knew.
He knew about the world is parakh. Yakov wanted to reveal the case.
So he says, I need to give you a bracha. They're going to hunt you. They're going to try and diminish you.
You read all these.
Of who Also native Pharaoh Joseph Goebbels propaganda machine. They're going to kick us out of our land. The Jews are parasites. They're going to take over. They run the government.
Yaakov saw all this.
So he said, you need a bracha because you're like fish. The yidgu. You're going to be like fish. You're going to continue to multiply. But while you multiply, so cane your baby, cane your fruits.
You need. Malach was created on Yom Hamishi, which is a call of the Hamisha Kumsheitoh, which is the kohak of the Mayim in My military to protect you, Protects the fish who are hunted, who are trapped, who they strive to diminish. And that's the gollish. And that's why Yaakov says, I know you're going to be like fish in this gollus, but you're ultimately, you're going to emerge victorious. Why? Because the executors of Jewish destiny, Gavriel Mufanay, Rafael, the one who saved Moshe Rabbeinu, the one who saved Esther Hamalka, I'll come and save you. And the enemy is hunting you.
And I wrote in my notes, if we are like fish, I shared the end of my notes with you.
We must learn from the fish. This ties into the first eight Josef we saw about Yom Kippur. As a korch of actors, you have to stay together with actors.
Fish swim in large schools.
They don't. The one who's the lone fish is going to be picked up by the enemy. We have to state ties into the eat, Joseph, you don't quite away. There we go. If we're like fish, we have to stay together with actors to be protected against the enemy. We have to use our fins and scales. We're coming up the precious mini soon to swim against the tide. We cannot become sucked up by the culture and the ways of the ubiso olam. You always have to stay in the waters of Torah.
What does this all have to do with Rosh Kodash?
Everything.
The moon waxes and wanes, just like the fish on the salmon spawn. The water is full of salmon eggs. The male salmon come to fertilize the female eggs. There are so many salmon, there's overflowing. But then the grizzly bears get them and the salmon are diminished.
But then they regrow again.
It has everything to do with the moon.
There's a story of Amisha, like the fish, is a story of diminishment, trapping, hunting.
You'll always regrow and be fruitful like the fish. Puravuas, Hamayim, bayamim. Once again, just like the moon waxes and waves, it grows large.
The coch of the Mach that protects us through the Koch of Actus, the Koch of Yama, Kippurims, Teshua to the k of swimming against the tide through the k of lifting the arboga, the arbor of darkness, of staying in the waters of Torah, the clock of recognizing the Malachim that sends to protect us.
And even in the times we reign and we seem to be diminished and the hunter cast his net and all the fish are gathered up and the hunter gets them. No, there's always a Sha rise of prayer. Plato survives until that great day. We started with Yom Echad. I'm so excited. Thank you.
We started with Yama and we aim with the day when Hashem. We started with Hashem was one in the world.
At the end of the day, that Hashem will again be one in the route alcohol.
Every day of creation is included in cards.
On that day, creation will come full circle when the whole world recognizes their Israeli bonus olam. And on that day, Hashem will once again be one and his name will be one.
To the great day.
We're going to read the Saftara Navi Boyam, Hashem Hagadov and Ravishu Vash.
Thank you. It was a tremendous and a true Simcha Satorah. I appreciate the invitation and everyone who came to her. Thank you so much, everybody.
Thank you so much.

[01:03:36] Speaker B: Wow.
