Everything we get exposed to
can make us better people this is a function
of “Personal Divine Providence”.
Do not ignore the messages.
Don’t ignore God ?
Take the straight approach to God
and God will have a straight approach
to you.
Deviation is where one is tripped up.
God doesn’t have to go out of His way to get a person
He has FREE CHOICE
Evil has NO will and power of its own, All is according to the decree of Heaven.
To think otherwise is the same as idol worship !.
Be afraid of God
as God sees all and cares about everything one does.
Be afraid to fall short of what God expects from YOU..
And be afraid of things going bad,
if you do wrong.

Devarim בס”ד
Most of the book of Devarim (Deuteronomy) covers the last month and seven days of Moshe’s life. The entire Book of Devarim is the final speech of Moses that he began on Rosh Chodesh Shvat and concluded on Adar 7, the day of his death 36 days later.
In Parsha Devarim At one point Moses says “AICHA” , this is read the last Shabbot before TISHA B’AV.
Then we hear that word AICHA again, when we observe the fast of TISHA B’AV and read from the Megillah called AICHA (lamentations) THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE ! For everything there is a time Tisha B’Av is when one can give their full attention to the Holy Temple.
The Shabbat before Tisha B’Av, the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av, is known as Shabbat Chazon, after the first word of this week’s Haftorah (reading from the Prophets) is “chazon” (vision). THIS IS CALLED THE “SHABOT OF VISION”. This week’s Haftorah is from the Prophet Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah). Who lived at the time of the destruction of the First Temple in the year 3338. He was born into a family of “kohanim” (priests), and was the son of the Prophet and High Priest, Hilkiah. He foresaw the destruction of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple and exhorted the Jews to return to G-d. After the destruction he authored the Book of Lamentations. He supported the Jewish people in their misery, strengthening them and encouraging them to continue when it seemed impossible to go on.
Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Berditchev used to say that on Shabot “chazon” everyone is given a vision of the Third Holy Temple, which will be permanent and everlasting. We see from the Book of Daniel:
“And I Daniel alone saw the vision; the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them . . . .”
Its like this with us also Although not everyone actually sees the Third Holy Temple, everyone experiences this Temple vision the best they are able to. The Sages explain that even it those with Daniel did not see what Daniel saw, their heavenly soul saw it.
May we see it built quickly in our days. Our Sages say The Moshiach is born on. Tisha B’Av . At the moment of destruction of the Holy Temple the Final Redemption had begun through Moshiach being born in some way. R. Manachem Mendal taught that one one’s birthday the spiritual source of one’s soul shines powerfully.’ So on Tisha B’Av when Moshiach’s spiritual source is powerfully revealed, there is a unique potential for the Redemption to come . . . . Each year, for the past two thousand years, on Tisha B’Av, Moshiach receives new power and new strength, and from year to year, this influence grows more powerfully.” Thus, Tisha B’Av is a unique time, when the potential for the Redemption is at its peak. This shows us that the greatest ascent comes after the greatest descent. Let us use the time properly and bring about the greatest ascent, the revelation of Moshiach and the Final Redemption, NOW.
As we are approaching the end of every year, we need to take stock of our lives and determine if we are true to ourselves and our Divine calling,.or perhaps we have went off course and we need to realign. And so to understand what has happened up to this point. It would not hurt to do this weekly and even daily. The 5th Book of the Torah, ‘Devarim’ (Deuteronomy) itself is also referred to as the ‘Mishne Torah’ meaning ‘review of the Torah.’ For Torah like our own lives, to be properly understood and internalized, we need to review our learning. All of the greatest Torah sages of history were constantly reviewing their studies, it was through this they attained greatness.
Near the beginning of our parsha We are reminded of the generation that all died in the desert because of the affair of the spies as it’s written ”And you came near me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by which way we must go up, and to what cities we shall come.” But after the spies brought back the evil report our parsha tells us concerning the people. “And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites. Where shall we go? our brothers have discouraged our heart”. For this sin of fearing the nations and not believing in GOD the whole generation was forbidden to enter the land, and as it says in Bamidbar “Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, all of you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore to make you live in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun”. We should have learned this lesson by now.
Fear only GOD.
The beginning of the mitzvah of fearing GOD is to know that ”elokenu” is the ד“ו parzufim (masculine and feminine aspects of GOD). These are the Written and Oral Torah by whose ruling we were taken out of Egypt.1 Fear embraces humility and humility embraces “chasidut” (piety). So by fear of sin one gets all these qualities.2 All the time one is only occupied only in the simple meaning of the Torah they see themselves as poor and dead. The main part of the Torah is its secrets. One who has the fear of GOD without chuchmah (Kabbalah) will not reach the ”midot” (attributes) of ”chassidut” (piety). Fear of GOD is Chuchmah, turning away from evil is Bina.3
If a man gives his heart and dat to the fear of GOD, behold the letters of יהו”ה cleave in his heart. One who merits this has no lack. But if his heart lacks fear of GOD, the letters of יהו”ה are far from him. This is the greatest possible lack. This is what it means “Make Me a migdosh (temple), and I will dwell in them”. One sanctifies their heart so as to have dwell in it יהו”ה 4 The level of soul called ”chayah” does not go out to a man except by receiving chuchmah. One who merits Chuchmah and dat their goes to him the fear of GOD.5 Growing in fear and ”Kidusha” as is proper this causes ”zivug” of Zu”n, and Abba with Imma to become complete as is proper. Through this is complete purification to man.6 When chuchmah is united to bina, the fear and awe of GOD can arise from the level of keter. Bina is called love but from chuchmah is complete love.7
Last weeks parsha said “But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those whom you allow to remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall harass you in the land where you live. Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do to you, as I thought to do to them.”
So it is about time we stop this foolishness such as releasing terrorists as good will gestures. What could be a worse desecration of graves of Jewish martyrs who died in the Arab terrorist attacks than releasing terrorists as “good will gestures”? What could be a worse slap in the face of their grieving friends and relatives? The government spits upon the thousands of murdered and maimed Jewish women, children, civilians in order to stage a ”peace process show”. We can now clearly see what these “good will gestures” have got us ie. thousands of rockets falling on our population center, forcing the God to protect us by giving us the invention called the “Iron dome” which has been knocking the enemy rockets from the sky. Something the world has never seen before in a war theater. In a sense it looks like again the miracles we say when leaving Egypt, but this time “partly” concealed, appearing as “natural”.
Former American President Obama time and time again stated that he wanted to force Isreal to give their land, settled cities to their enemies who wish to send rockets upon central Israel and kill all the Jews. Thank God, that God brought President Trump to power in America. Now is the time we must stop this government’s evil cowardly retreat from Yuhuda and Shamron. The disengagement from Gaza and the destruction of the Gush Katif Jewish settlements has created a pure terrorist state at Israel’s border. How many more such enclaves do we need ? With the current military conflict it is plain for any rational person to see how bankrupt such land transfer “peace” proposals can be.
The Israeli establishment hopes and plans to demolish more Jewish settlements and evict more Jews from their homes before transferring the territories to Arab rule when the first opportunity arrives even now as rockets are falling. International law doesn’t justify such moves. Forced population transfer is a war crime. Forcible transfer is a form of ethnic cleansing. The International Criminal Tribunal convicted Yugoslavian officials for exactly the crime Israelis committed in Gush Katif. Instead lets get rid of the terrorists not nurture them. It by no means is our responsibility to provide the Palestinians with water, electricity and humanitarian aid. But it is the primary responsibility of the government to protect it citizens. So we must as it says in the verse “drive out the inhabitants of the land”, we must deal with the terrorists as enemies as is proper. Not with ”good will gestures”, and only receiving evil in return. Remember as it says in our parsha ”GOD Elohecha gives you this land as inheritance”. Then we can come to see the fullness of our inheritance with the Bait HaMikdash built and our righteous Mashiach quickly in our days.

“LADDER TO SUPERNAL CONSCIOUSNESS”
There is also an uninterrupted line of Jewish mysticism. It emphasizes the place of man in creation. It is a path to faith, a way to begin one’s own awakening, and how to rise higher revealing more aspects and higher levels of one’s soul and reveal in a greater and closer way God’s providence in general and specific aspects in the world. Divine speech, according to the Zohar, comes as a result of self-awakening. The Zohar urges us not to wait passively for the Divine voice that guides the path, and can speak through you but to seek it out through occupying in Torah study and doing “mitzvoth” (commandments). Wake up by thoughts, speech and actions for the sake of heaven. and blessing from heaven above will be reavealed to you, if you make the effort..
The principle is that you need to prepare of a vessel Below for the blessing from Above. You need a new vessel that can hold the new blessings and draw the flow of Holiness of Divine abundance into it. Even if the God wants to bestow the blessing if it has, no vessel made by your thought s , speech and actions there is nowhere for the blessings torest, and therefore it will not come. Therefore, according to the Zohar, Elisha asks the woman who needs a blessing what she has in the house, and only thanks to the “jug of oil” does the oil abundantly come from Above. A spiritual life will make many opportunities for receiving blessings. The Blessings will not rest in an empty place.
By secrets of the Torah, it is possible the entrance of man into the world of faith. This entry is dependent, as stated, on man’s activities being “Holy”.
By fulfilling the commandments we are made to see God in many ways and in all and to be seen by God.

In 1968, Albert Z. Carr published an article in the Harvard Business Review entitled, “Is Business Bluffing Ethical?” Carr argues that the world of business is special realm in which the tactics for success permit a different standard of behavior. Albert Carr, claims quite brazenly that businesses were perfectly justified in lying, cheating, and bribing, all in the name of achieving business objectives. According to Carr, the ethics of ordinary life were inapplicable to business because the latter was governed by its own “gaming” morality that required the businessman to leave at home the Golden Rule and his commitment to principles such as honesty and fairness.
Carr’s style of business is roundly condemned as immoral by Jewish ethical standards, which are spelled out in the Torah and elaborated upon at length in the Talmud and law codes. In fact, there is a rabbinic tradition that when one dies and stands before God for judgment, the first question God will ask is, “Did you conduct your business with integrity?” ( Shabbat 31a)
Often, in discussions of Jewish business ethics the principle of “do not place a stumbling block before the blind” is invoked; it speaks directly to Carr’s tactics.
Immoral business practices “Push away the feet of the Shekhinah,” (DIVINE PRESENCE-FAVORABLE PROVIDENCE) ! shoving morality to the curb and engaging in secretive dishonesty, is also socially caustic and spiritually corrosive whenever and wherever it occurs.

THE TRIBES AND YOUR JOURNEYS -PARSHAT MATTOT –
Filed under: PARSHA MASSAY, PARSHA MATTOT, Uncategorized | Tags: 42 letter name, Atik, PARSHA MATTOT PARSHA METZORA, , SECRET, Z”a
Mottot Bs”d
We stand approaching Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kipor and the holiday of Succot in the distance. These great times of great revelation of light need great preparation so that one may become a proper vessel for the revelation of this great light. For this GOD has given us the month of Tammuz and quickly approaching the month of Av. Av precedes the month of Ellul. The month where GOD is ready to give anyone a hand who wants to know and be one with His glorious light. GOD in Ellul gives every one extra power. Before Ellul we have Av. This is the time of destruction of Both Temples, the time of national mourning. This reveals a certain part of the heart. The sages say only those who mourn the loss of the Temple will be those who will rejoice when it will be rebuilt. By contemplation of this we can come to realize as the sages say “one who has not seen the ceremony during succot where water is poured up the alter has never seen joy in his life”. These 3 Weeks are a time of introspection called “cheshbon Nefesh”. It’s a time for looking into the mirror of our souls and reflecting upon where we have been, where we are, and where we should be going. It is the time to examine our thoughts, speech and actions so that we may come to live more meaningful and Holy lives. Sins that destroyed the First Holy Temple and the sin that destroyed the Second Holy Temple are growing stronger each day. Powerful and disruptive rifts fracture our Jewish communities.
Our parsha starts out discussing vows, sincere commitments one makes to GOD. Our lives should be a sincere commitment to his will. If we follow His will we will become holy. The Torah tells a father can nullify his daughter’s vow when she is child, and that a husband can nullify his wife’s vows. What about a 15 year-old girl? The “halacha” (Torah Law) makes it clear that she is completely independent, so if she makes a vow, her father can’t nullify it. However, the Torah does not even hint to such a situation.
Becouse historically speaking, at the time the Torah was given, girls married when reaching physical maturity. So the Torah had not addressed these cases
Thus our parashah illustrates the difficulty of understanding the Torah In the context of modern life, without knowledge of the Oral Torah. As during the time of the Torah, it was unacceptable for a 12-year-old girl to be unmarried, while today it is inconceivable for her to be married.
Rabbi Nachman of Breslov teaches that through faith one achieves intellect.1 It is according to one’s Dat (knowledge that connects the mind to the heart), which is “penimi” (a internal aspect) in the sefirot that there is a “segulah” (miraculous power) to unite with Divine will.2 By this we can accomplish anything. But to reach this power of Dat (knowledge that connects the mind to the heart), which is “penimi” (a internal aspect) in the sefirot that there is a “segulah” (miraculous power) to unite with Divine will which gives you power over all in this world by yielding Divine will one must learn a lot. One must go through many journeys.
By these journeys that we each face in our own live’s which are our “tikun”(fixing) so that we may enter a Divine state of consciousness called “Yisrael”. In these journeys we face many tests, these come to refine us. By this we may merit to not only have the consciousness called “Yisrael”, but to actually enter the Holy land and connect to the Infinite quality of God that is always dwelling upon the Land. It is a quality like Shabot which is manifest by the Divine name of (42) מ”ב of the world of Bria as explained in the books concerning the meditations of the Shabot. Like on Shabot in Aretz Yisrael light is revealed. In Aretz Yisrael light is revealed more because the garments vessels for light are more refined in Asiyah (the physical world) as their bodies are more sanctified in mitzvot than if dwelling outside the land. As Aretz Yisrael itself is as a “mikvah” (ritual bath) completely surrounding you . “Aretz” (land) is related to “ratzon” (will), receiving the yolk of heaven is the spiritual aspect of Aretz Yisrael.3 Those who walk in the ways of “avoda zara” (the way of GOD being strange to them). Then the way of GOD will not rest in their hearts. 4 By transgression we can become defiled and separated from GOD and in need of cleansing. This cleansing is relative in degrees as we see in the parsha. With a sincere commitment for the sake of Heaven we can avoid much of the worst kind of defilement. Defilement of our intellects. As this God forbid can cloud over our understanding and shake our sincere commitment to Divine service in fulfilling the will of Heaven. Towards the end of the parsha we are reminded about the first female property owners in world history, the 5 daughters of Tzelofhad being Machla, Noa, Hogla, Milca and Tirza and their property rights. It is interesting to note that there is a difference of opinion concerning what their father Tzelofhad did that caused his death. Rabbi Yehuda ben Betayrah tells us that Tzelofhad was of the group of brazen men who defiantly attempted to conquer Israel without God in their midst and without the Holy Ark. While Rabbi Akiva says that Tzelofhad was “he one who gathered wood on the Sabbath and was stoned to death as a punishment [Num. 15:32–36] – . Instead let us all accend to the land in the correct way and act according to the God’s will and bring the redemption in peace quickly in our days.

Pinchas-Zeal Bs”d
Pinchas was still functioning as Pinchas, during the days of the ‘Judges,’ specifically the time of the judge Yiftach (2788-2792/972-968 BCE) – over 300 years since Pinchas killed Zimri !
That’s a long time Pinchas is special
Pinchas risked his future by killing people, thus invalidating himself from a chance at priesthood for himself and all his future descendants. But by killing Zimri and Cosby Pinchas became a Cohen and received from God a “covenant of Peace”. This is counter intuitive and paradoxical. We must not only live with contradiction we must dwell within the Paradox. Pinchas kills people is then given the covenant of Peace and extremely long life.
“Pinchas the son of Eleazar the son of Aharon the kohen has turned My anger away from the children of Israel by his zealously avenging Me among them, so that I did not destroy the children of Israel because of My zeal. Therefore, say, I hereby give him My covenant of peace “
(Bamidbar 25:12)
Pinchas the Kohen, receives God’s “Brit Shalom” (Covenant of Peace) by a act of extreme violence in our parsha. During the tragic incident of Bal Peor (A term for a place of Idol worship), the tribal leader of Shimon, Zimri, publicly engaged in sex with a Midyanite woman, Kozbi. Pinchas killed the two sinners, thereby bringing an end to the plague that God had unleashed upon the people because of their sinful behavior. Aaron was the supreme peace-maker “loving peace and pursuing peace”. It might seem strange for a grandson of Aaron to resort to violence and get awarded the “Brit Shalom” (Covenant of Peace) from the God. Peace is a supreme ideal, but not at any price. Pinchas shows us sometime force is required to establish peace both below and above. . Zimri, the tribal leader Shimon led the movement to permit relations with the women of Moav and Midyan and the worship of Bal Peor, and Pinchas’ act was essentially an assault on that movement. Many people came to lynch Pinchas after he had performed his act of zealousness against Zimri. God intervened and set the record straight before the entire nation.
The story of Pinchas spans two Parsha, this show the importance of what we are talking about. The God by placing it in 2 parsha makes sure it is to command our attention. Pinchas is the guy who stands up to do what everyone else was afraid to. Pinchas is the kind of man that “takes care of Business”. One of the scariest things to do is to step out on a limb. Especially if you think it will break and lead to your falling and hurting yourself. But sometime things are not as they appear and one needs to do, what must be done. Pinchas is honored because he is willing to do the right thing even when others won’t act because they are afraid for what ever reason. Pinchas is the man who will do what may be the opposite of what we now call “Politically correct” because its the right thing to do. Pinchas took bold action. And for this he is rewarded.
There is another example in our parsha of people taking a big risk , going out on a limb for what is right.
After the Pinchas incident we read of a census so to divide the land up. Moshe relays God’s words to the people regarding how the land will be divided. After this 5 daughters of Tzelachad step forward to challenge Moshe’s explanation of Gods inheritance laws concerning the land of Israel. And they won. God agreed with them and the rules of inheritance were established as they petitioned. Giving the sisters property ownership inheritance right thousands of years before, such “women’s rights” were known in any culture. The concept of women’s inheritance and land ownership was revolutionary in those times. Up until recently woman were not allowed to even drive in Saudi Arabia.
We also can learn a lesson here from the greatest of all prophets Moshe. One is never too great to learn something new from other people. As we see here even Moses, the greatest of all prophets, learns from both Pinchas and the five sisters.
The seven Heavenly Guests of the Succot are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Joseph, and David in this order according to Kabbalah. Are also called the Seven Shepherds in the Zohar, each correspond to one of the Jewish holidays of the year – Pesach, Rosh Hashana, Shavuot, Yom Kippur, Succot, Shabbat, and Rosh Chodesh
” It shall be for a sign and a witness to YHV’H TSVAO’T in the land of Egypt. They shall cry to YHV’H because of their troubles, and He shall send them one Who shall plead for Them and deliver them. YHV’H shall be known to Egypt and Egypt shall be know YHV’H on that day. They shall do Sacrifice and Meal offerings. They shall vow a vow to YHVH and perform it. YHV’H shall smite Egypt. He shall smite and heal. They shall return to YHV’H . He shall be entreated of them and shall heal them. In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assur (Iran) and Iran shall come to Egypt to worship, and Egypt to Iran and Egypt will worship with Iran ” (Isiah19:20-23). The Radak explains Egypt will recognize there is GOD alone after GOD sends them The Messiah to deliver them. After GOD smites Them He will heal them. The Radak explains Egypt will be innovators of Divine service among the nations. Although Egypt will be the first of the nations to accept the kingdom of Heaven, The people of Asur (Iran) will surpass them in their Zeal to worship GOD. One must always remember that even if GOD Always fulfils His good word. The way it will come about is left up to us. Therefore the Prophet Zechariah enjoins us to work hard as He says “Thus says YHV’H TSVAO’T let Your hands be strong you Who hear these words in these days. These words by the mouth of the Prophets. Who spoke on the day that the foundation of the house of YHV’H TSVAO’T was laid, saying that the Temple might be built.”. So work hard against the evil perpetrated by traitors in our midst as pinchas did !
In the Torah scroll the letter vav in the first sentence of parsha Pinchas, in the word shalom (shin-lamed-VAV-mem) is a broken “vav”. As the revelation of the “covenant of peace” is not revealed in a complete way yet. As we need healing of the “six” “lower” depths, 6 corners. The 6 lower sefirot. Which is represented by the “vav”.
The Rav Minachem MiPhano in Gilgulei Neshamos, mentions Pinchas as a gilgul of Yosef, and how the zealousness of Pinchas in killing Kazbi and Zimri for their perversity achieved a tikkun for Yosef’s earlier slight deficiency. Kazbi was sent to seduce Moses, but she met Zimri first and though he was Moses. It was fitting for Pinchas since Pinchas’ mother was Tzipora’s sister to avenge the Midianites, who sold Yosef to Egypt and forgot also Yitro’s covenant with Moses and God. Yitro was from Midian as Kazbi.
Eliyahu from the tribe of Binyomin had only been in him “ibor” . What remained was the main part was Eliyahu from the root of Gad, and therefore he could no longer be called “Pinchas,” but rather, “Eliyahu HaTishbi,” alluding that his soul was from the tribe of Gad. Prophecy returned to him after he was called “Eliyahu HaTishbi,” and after Shmuel had died so that Nadav and Avihu could return to him in “ibor” during the incident of Mt. Carmel. At that time, the people fell on their faces and said, “YHV”H is Elokim” (I Melachim18:20-29). When they said, this “Nadav and Ahu” were forgiven for their sin of “cutting off their plantings” when they blemished the Divine Presence. (Sha’ar HaGilgulim, Chapter 32) What Eliyahu lost he regained: the souls of Nadav and Avihu. With the souls returned his prophecy, never to leave him again. His act of jealousy for God at Mt. Carmel when he upstaged the priests of Ba’al brought him, the souls of Nadav and Avihu, and the generation of that time, “tikun”.
In the year 3043, almost 600 years!, from the time Pinchas acted on behalf of G-d to kill Zimri and save the Jewish people from themselves, Eliyahu HaNavi ascended to Heaven in a fiery chariot (I Melachim 2:11).
Eliyahu found respite in the cave at Har Chorev, until he went up in a windstorm to Heaven. It was Eliyahu HaTishbi from the tribe of Gad who ascended to Heaven, and he did not descend again. However, Eliyahu from the tribe of Binyomin, reincarnated into the one mentioned in the posuk, “And Ya’areshyah, Eliyahu, and Zichri were the sons of Yerucham” (I Divrei HaYomim 8:27). Later, when he died, he ascended to join Eliyahu HaTishbi who had ascended. It is Eliyahu from the tribe of Binyomin who ascends and descends constantly to perform miracles for the righteous, and to speak with them. (Sha’ar HaGilgulim, Chapter 32) Not to mention stops by Seder Night at the houses of Jews around the world towards the end of the Seder when we open the door and recite ‘spill your wrath.” However, in The days of HaMoshiach, he will have an additional role to fulfill, once redemption becomes a thing of the past, may that be soon in our time: In the “End of Days” in the generation of Moshiach, Moshe will return to teach Torah to Israel and will still be of “uncircumcised lips.” However, Eliyahu, will be will be his interpreter.
Minor inequities are purified by the river of fire before gehenom (Hell) called ”Dinar”, while more difficult transgressions require gehenom (hell). A Nashama (Soul)after leaving this world must fall to “Nahar Dinar”and Gehenom (Hell) before entering Gan Eden (the Garden of Eden). Those who while in this world strengthen themselves with the having bold zeal in things of Holiness. Those who when they fall in this world quickly work to rise to a higher level these will ascend from Gehenom (Hell) immediately. But those who blemished the quality of boldness through being bold in things of the otherside, or even worse detering people from serving GOD. These must remain in Gehenom. Through Holy boldness one merits “emuna”. Tishri is the time to develop Holy boldness. Holy boldness is achieved through joy. The shame faced are destined to Gan Aden, as Holy boldness stems from embarrassment, shame of distance from GOD. Sadeekem who don’t perform the mitzvot with proper ”tikun” (fixing), but do them with weak hands, without ”ratzon” (will) of the mitzvot (commandments) themselves. They journey to the Gan Aden below in Yetzera (world of the Ruach-Emotional soul). Where people are rewarded for their emotional ruach attachment to GOD. To get into the Gan Aden (the Garden of Eden) above requires a mitzvah to be done in great love and desire. Aroused by awareness of one’s Nashama (soul of Divine intellect). Because of the weakness of one’s mitzvot they are punished in Gehenom. By blemish in machut shamyim (Yolk of heaven) are punished those who trancend the will of GOD. They are punished mida (attribute) for mida. As Pharoe was punished so to reveal the Malchut (divine). This is the glory of machut shamyim. By this is purified the 7 emotional attributes. Yisreal fought Amalak in a place called “Rafadim” (weakness), referring to the weakness coldness in Yisrael’s hands as they do not fear Elokim, because they did the mitzvot in weakness. This is Amalak, the top level of tuma. Moshe raised his hands on high to overcome the hand of Amalak.1 It is proper for one to sanctify their body, all their limbs. All thoughts, words all they do. One must have zeal so to achieve purity as this will bring Holiness which will bring prophesy and this brings Eliyahu.2 Eliyahu is Pinchas as both were jealous for GOD.3 In our parsha its written “Behold, I give to him my covenant of peace. And he shall have it, and his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the people of Israel.”
Pinhas and Elyahu were both were very jealous for God. What do we mean ” very jealous for God?” . We know there is a mitzvah to teach Torah and not change our lives of “mitzvot”. . During times of religious persecution if a Jew is asked to to make a mockery of Judaism one must die instead; how much more so must he keep learning and teaching Torah during such times! To appreciate the basis of zealousness on behalf of God is the mitzvah of “Kiddush Hashem” (Sanctifying God’s name by giving one’s life rather than transgressing His will). As such, then a mitzvah of”kana” (Jealousy) generates “kedushah” (Holiness). “kedushah” has to hide itself to protect to protect itself from the “sitra achra” which is constantly hovering around wanting to nourish from the “kidusha” (Holiness) during times of “hester panim” (the hiding of God’s face) . You have to be a zealot for God, for God’s sake not for your own or the other side nourishes from the Divine abundance . Eliyahu never died; he wanders the earth for all of time, He Is a visitor at every Jewish “brit milah” – testifying that God’s people are keeping His covenant. Pinhas who is Elyahu is present at every ”Brit Milah” because his zealousness stems from love of total self sacrifice! The Brit Milah (circumcision) symbolizes our unique relationship as Jews to self sacrifice for God. Eliyah attends every family Seder – bearing witness that the people of Israel are on their path back to redemption, and Eliyahu visits people every motzei Shabbat – celebrating and recording the merits of the children of Israel. In the end, Eliyahu will announce the redemption and return the hearts of parents to their children and the children’s hearts to their parents.
God willing soon the Gilgul of Pinchas comes in his most complete form as Eliyahu HaNavi to end the biggest plague of all, the long and painful exile with the building of the Beit HaMikdash quickly in our days !

Korach בס”ד
Populism as the politics of anger can be very dangerous. Family fights can be the worst. Korach and Moses, are cousins! This empowered Korach to challenge Moses because he too is a Levite. So Korach thought Moses should be given no greater honor and leadership role than himself. Why should he Korach though ? He is not different from me in stature, Moses is my cousin Korach thought. Every one knows the nastiest most hurtful fights can be among one’s own family members. Rather than than people who are strangers. A people in the same family who know each other well, know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and know how to manipulate each other’s emotions. Fighting within the family is always more intense, and more brutal. This week’s Torah portion, Korach, reminds us that the bitter partisanship and political infighting are as old as the Bible itself. Korach’s sons originally participated in the uprising, later they repented and were thus spared the disastrous fate that befell their father and his followers. So Remember from this that even when one has fallen to the lowest spiritual places one can make a “come back” and rise to the Highest spiritual levels ! It may not be so easy to do so though . What did God expect from the sons of Korach. The Midrash Yalkut Shimoni teaches us they had to stand up for Moshe’s honor and at the same time condemn the grave mistake their father was making.
Korach worked the principles of democracy. He appealed to the masses in the name of “equality” DEMOCRACY OF DUMB PEOPLE DON’T END WELL
The challenge hurled at Moses, the rebellion of Korach, on the face of it, may have legitimacy in the eyes of contemporary Jews as , the claim to sole legitimacy and authority by Moses is, “undemocratic”. Raised in democracy, trained to believe that all are entitled to vote, American Jews often resonate to the words of Korach, notwithstanding the fact that they may have no idea who he is.
Korach’s challenge implicitly asks: what is the role of the community in formulating “reforming”, “reconstructing”, “conserving” Judaism in our time ? EVERY ONE KNOW WHAT GOD’S ANSWER TO THAT WAS.
Torah Judaism asserts The Divine origin and binding nature of Torah and Halakha (Torah Law), as received from the Holy sages of the generations. These laws being of Divine origin and of a forever binding nature and unchangeable.
While Conservative Judaism believes rabbis can make changes within the Torah Law. And that the input of laypeople they considered important in determining which changes the community is prepared to accept, or needs to have enacted on its behalf.
Reform Judaism traces its origins to the modernizing actions of laypeople and later on of rabbis in several congregations in Germany in the 19th century, has always allowed a voice from the community to form its policies and platforms. The participation by laypeople in the formulation of ” Judaism ” out of ignorance distorting the meaning of the Torah IS UTTER FOOLISHNESS !
We all must stand up for that which is right and oppose those things which are not good. This is the right thing to do. One can not be complacent. We also see here that one must careful not to follow the masses to sin. We must be “rebels” for the correct causes and not like Korah, the descendants of Reuven Datan and Aviram, or of the community of 250 ,who each, found a different reason to challenge Moses. Each thought that they had identified a grievance a problem, that really did not exist. Then rebelled but offered no TRUE solution. This all solves no problems and only promotes caos as anarchy does. We are trying to rebuilt that which is broken, our ultimate goal is not only destruction. We are here to fix things.
Korach and his group rebelled against the authority of Moses, against the Torah. They thought they knew better. The result was that they were all killed by GOD. Korach was the first Reform Jew according to Rashi. In Europe for the first time since the writing of the oral tradition of the Torah almost 2000 years earlier people dared ,like Korach, to rebel against this tradition. This was the foundation of the reform movement. Again before the reform movement of “Judaism” since the writing down of the Oral tradition almost 2000 years earlier there were not different versions of Judaism. There was only The Torah of Moses as found in the Mishna, explained in the Gemora, Zohar and other Holy books. These rebels as Korach dared to defy the Divine authority of the Torah and we all know the results. Much like what happened to Korach and his crew, but this time 6 million were killed. From these lessons we should learn That publicly going against the Truth of GOD’s Torah is a stupid thing to do. But some people never learn. With the Holocaust we lost a third of the world’s Jews, NOW by intermarriage we are losing nearly as many, that’s thanks to Deformed and so called conservative Judaism With the loss of a third of the world’s Jews to intermarriage , we have to be concerned about Jewish survival. How can we be a “light to the nations” if we are not a nation ourselves ? JEWS LETS GET IT TOGETHER ! Don’t let it be that your children are the ones to break tradition going back to Moses and Mt. Sinai.
Know, Korach was not a idiot, he was Moshe’s cousin. Korach’s children repented at the last moment and lived. It is known that his children authored some Palms in the book of Psalms. The prophet Shmual was a descendant of Korach., Smual in some ways is compared to Moshe and Aharon ! Korach was of course a learned man and leader of the people. on a very high spiritual level. His falling is not so easy to understand. The sages say by “Ruach HaKodesh he know he would have descendents of greatness, he could not imagine he was wrong. So always remember this when you are in argument and you are so sure your right, you could be wrong and it could be very costly to you.
We also see from parsha Korach what those who fear GOD and love his Torah should do when confronted by such a situation. When confronted by those who deny the truth of the Torah, by those who claim to know a better way. We cannot stand by idly indifferent to such evil people. This is a time to take a stand, to stand up for GOD and His Torah. One cannot just standby such a desecration of the Name of God. As what kind of love of God does a person have who would act like this. It is a time for action. Moshe told all Yisrael to “remove yourself from the evil company of Korach, take no benefit from them. Or you to will be swept away because of all their sins also.” The Mesach Chuchmah tells us that the 250 well know men who joined with Korah were not evil as Korah was. They were good men, just misguided by bad influence. It is because of this that we are told to distance ourselves from evil men. So our fate will not be as their which ofr Korach means they wind up consumed by fire and swallowed up by the earth. Not so much fun ….
We should learn from this parsha from the actions of Moshe that one must stand up against those who try to lead the Jewish people away from the true way of the Torah. False leaders must be denounced. Those who love GOD and His Torah will not be found in the company of false leaders, traitors against the people of Yisrael. Those who deny the truth of the Torah. They certainly will not be friends with such evil men. Certainly those who love GOD will not be joined with these evil men so to benefit financially. Be certain as Moshe said “remove yourself from the evil company of Korach, take no benefit from them. Or you to will be swept away because of all their sins also.” In simplicity those who believe in the way of the Torah are those who should be close to us. Those who lead the Jewish people in a way not according to GOD’s Torah, or publicly speak against the truth of the Torah. It is these who those who believe in GOD’s Torah must stand against, and those who keep company with them. The evil reckless action of these false anti Torah leaders has already brought about the birth of terror state in Azza. We cannot let them lead this Jewish community to the destiny that befell the community of Korach or that of Europe.
It should also be noted that there has been similar themes in the last 3 parsha, so take these ideas to heart. In parsha Bihalotecha it said “when you go to war with the enemy in your land, sound the horns”. As we said this refers to not responding quietly, but with full force spiritually and physically. This refers to the enemy who comes from within, as Korach and those of other nations. In parsha Shelach lecha we learn again concerning false leadership, and not acting according to divine will. The result of the sin of the spies was much like that which recently befell the Jewish community in Europe, they all perished.
Korach’s Dispute was NOT “for the sake of heaven, such disputes will not endure..Such disputes, Korah had no goal but only to win the argument , to defeat his opponent. It has nothing to do with the truth of a issue. Solving problems, or pursuing higher goals, no. They just want to be declared correct and that’s what its really about. “a dispute FOR the sake of Heaven” is a dispute that is held in order to strive for truth, and not simply for the sake of fighting and defeating the opponent.
Alliances formed in the name of a struggle against a shared enemy are not as resilient as those formed in the name of a shared struggle for ideology. In Israel’s recent election , political parties formed their coalition out of ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so to take out Benyamin Natanyahu
Korach is the same gematria as לארבעה (to 4) referring to the river that goes out of Aden to water the garden splitting to 4 heads, these allude to the 4 basic levels the Torah is understood. May it be that these all will be revealed clearly for all to behold restoring all to its ancient glory with prophesy, the Holy Temple and Mashiach quickly in our days.

PARSHA SHALACH — DANGER OF SENDING OUT SPIES
Filed under: Parsha Shalach, Parsha Shalach Lecha | Tags: 613, ancient manuscript, MESSIAH, parsha shalach lecha, Shalach, sitzet (fringes)
The God when He gave us the Bible set a yearly cycle by which it is suggested to illuminate (read) in the Holy “Book”. Concerning the parsha (portion) for this week:
Parsha Shalach
Bs”d
The story of the spies is not an isolated event. It has continued on since their time, even today , in this generation’ You don’t have to go to the land of Israel to spy it out and return a damaging report. You can do from your own living room. and even in the land of Israel.
In the beginning of the parshah On the verse, “Send for yourself men and let them spy out the land of Canaan” (Bamidbar 13:2), Rashi cites the Sages saying: “Send for yourself. according to your own understanding. I am not commanding you, but if you wish, you may send this is according to the Midrash Tanchumah Parsha Shelach..” This happened becouse the Children of Israel had approached Moshe and said, “Let us send men ahead of us” (Devarim 1:22), prompting Moshe to ask Hashem for advice. Hashem replied: “I told them that the land was good”, as it is written: ‘I shall bring you up from the affliction of Egypt…to a land flowing with milk and honey’ [Shemot 3:17]. The Steipler Goan says that when the spies enter the land Joshua and Calev were pursued night and day from the very day they arrived, they were hunted with a vengeance, while the other spies went unnoticed but what they choose to notice was the problem. The “meraglim” (“spies”) who were sent to scout out the land, ten of whom returned with a terrible and frightening report By their words the children of Yisrael set up a opportunity to transgress against God and the words of the spies, was the beginning of the very evil result, resulting in the whole generation not inheriting the land.” Their mistake was thinking that their lives were subject to the same natural order as every none else. But in truth their ultimate success did not depended on their own military prowess, The God had been working for Yisrael supernatural providence time and time again. What were they thinking ? This was a grievous error.
The people were told that they had to remain in the desert for the next 40 years, during which time the adult generation would die. At this point the Torah skips over the next thirty-eight years in the desert. The Natziv explains that this time was a transition between these two generations. A time of change from a period in the desert where the Israelites were living by revealed miracles to where the Israelites will be living by nature in The Land of Israel. But even with this Moses wanted the Israelites to know that even though they would be required to secure a livelihood in the natural setting of Israel. The final result would depend no less on God than when the manna which descended directly from Heaven.
After this a lengthy 40 year desert sojourn, the people received other commandments. In addition to the burnt-offerings, feast-offerings we were commanded to bring meal-offerings and libations. Also given to the people is the commandments of removing “challah” and tithing the harvest. A “sin offering” was ordered for anyone who non intentionally sinned, and the people are commanded to stone the intentional transgressor of Shabbat . We also get here the commandment of “Tzitzit”, the commandment to tie fringes to a garment that has four corners. This commandment is one of the special commandments in the Torah whose purpose is clearly written in a manner that cannot be ignored:
It is written “ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the people of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a thread of blue”
The Meshech Chochma says that, We humans say about God, He is absolute and perfect. We might have expected, then, that the reality He created would be perfect as well. But when we look around us, or at ourselves, we discover that reality is far from perfect. Human reality is also composed of impurity and sin, injustice and mistakes. The gap between the Creator of the Universe and the world He created can be explained based on the verse from Psalms (115, 16): “The heavens are heavens of the Lord, but the earth He gave to the children of men”. G-d created a reality that is not perfect because He gave it to humans to control and to determine whether or not it would reflect Divine values and thus become perfect, or, heaven forbid, the opposite. This is why we all ways have “Tzizit” to remind us of the commandments which are the perfection of the world and man.
The greatness of the mitzvah of tzitzit is described by our Sages: “This mitzvah is equal to all the mitzvot together” (Menachot 43b). Rashi explains the reasoning behind this: “Because the numerical value of the tzitzit is 600. [Add to this] 8 threads and 5 knots, and we have 613.”The Torah also states “You shall not go after your eyes or your heart that lead you astray”. Meaning away from the way of GOD. As the sitzet allude to all the commandments as the numerical value of sitzet plus their 8 threads and 5 knots equals 613 (all the commandments). Do not follow your eyes astray, but contemplate the commandments which direct us in the way which is upright. Do not follow your heart astray but love GOD. As mistakes begin when one acts in a way not prescribed by the Torah. Like in our parsha the sages say GOD never told Yisreal to send spies. That is why the parsha begins with the words “send to you spies”. The people asked for this. GOD certainly did not need them to be sent. So it should not be surprising that their mission did not turn out well. This is where things begin to go wrong. Wrong for a long time as this was the 9th of Av. The day of destruction of both temples. Since GOD did not say to send out spies, the spies became filled and obsessed with excessive desires for honor. When arrogance rises upon one’s heart, the Shechinah (Divine Presence) flees. As the 2 do not dwell together. From this they were caught in their own sin. The sin of the spies has not yet been fully forgiven. For the next 39 years the generation of the desert would dig their own graves every Ninth of Av and went to sleep in them. The next morning some did not wake up ever again. The day the spies brought their bad report became the saddest day in our calendar, the Ninth of Av. It’s the day both Temples were destroyed on. We need to understand the exact nature of the sin of the spies so that we don’t repeat it. Their sin resulted in all Yisrael losing faith. As is written “our brothers have made our hearts melt”. This is much like todays false leaders who say ”there is no way to stop the rockets that hit our cities daily”, but this is ever so far from the truth. There is a simple solution ”overwhelming military force”. They did in, “Operation Cast Lead”, and the rockets stopped , for a while. Though in the future more ”overwhelming military force” may be required, until it becomes learned that peace is a better way. Also there are those who discourage others from settling in the Holy land saying its to difficult to live there and they have every excuse in the book and then some. Some in the generation of leaving Egypt did not want to Go into the Holy Land as they knew when they did Moses would die as he was told by God he could not enter the land. But the truth of the matter is “Saddikim” (Holy men) never die, but that the soul of Moses is revealed in every “Saddik” of the generation.
After the parsha speaks about a man killed for profaning the Shabbot by gathering sticks. The Parsha begins talking about “Sitzet” .We may not be allowed to wear Tefillin on Shabbot which are a constant reminder of God Therefore God reminds us that we have another of him “ tzitzit “. So words concerning of “tzitzit” come here to remind us the even if we don’t wear “Tefillin” on Shabbot we still have the “Sitzet” to remind us of Hashem. Also we can learn from the juxtaposition of “Parsha Sitzet” next to the parsha that speaks about a man killed for profaning the Shabbot, that a dead person, is obligated to wear “tzitzis”, The greatness of the mitzvah of tzitzit is described by our Sages: “This mitzvah is equal to all the mitzvot together” (Menachot 43b).
The sages warned us against these false leaders when they wrote almost 2000 years ago concerning these times in the ancient manuscript “Signs of the Messiah” we are told that before Redemption GOD will stand up kings over his people Yisreal who will reject his Torah in their dat (knowledge). They will be liars, But they will see themselves as those who serve GOD, but they do not. They will be disgusting. They will confuse all creation. Even the transgressors among Yisrael will be further removed from the redemption by these leaders who reject GOD, and the fear of Him. This will be a generation where truth is despised. At this time Yisrael will be without a king or true leader, alter or sacrifices. This generation will suffer because of harsh decrees that are different, strange and tragic made by these kings who reject GOD . They will make atheistic rulings against the Temple, GOD and his Torah.
Towards the end of the parsha some men went up to the land, it says ”the ark was not with them”. They went of their own accord. GOD had not told them to take the land at that time, but they went up anyway. Like the spies their action was not in accordance with Divine will, so how could it be successful ?. Only if our actions are in accordance with the Torah, Divine will, can we succeed in the end. The people could not enter the land till they were ready and could go with the Ark. With out the Torah one just doesn’t stand a chance in the Holy land. As the verse states “The land is a land that consumes its inhabitants”. R. Ostrowicze explains “its inhabitants” which literally in Hebrew means those who sit are consumed by the land. As the Holy land will not allow one to stay who is not moving higher and higher in Holiness. The prophets warn us concerning this as Isiah says:
” In that day shall the plant of YHVH shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and beautiful for those that remain of Israel. And it will come to pass that he that remains in Zion and He that remains in Jerusalem shall be called Holy,” (4:2)
The tribe of Levi did not send a man to spy out the land with the rest of Yisrael. Because the tribe of Levi did not make their living by farming. They serve as priests and Levites in the Temple and teach Torah. They lived off the various tithes from the other tribes. They lived in 48 cities that were given to them, which were surrounded by parks, but they possessed no agricultural territory. When spying out the land of Israel the soul of Joseph entered the body of the spy of the tribe of Menasheh. So it’s written: “ the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Menasheh”. The Talmud Yerushalmi teaches concerning the name change of Hoshea to Yehoshua at the beginning of our parsha an extra ‘yud’ is needed. It came from the ‘yud’ from the name Sarai, mother of our people, wife of Avraham, when her name changed to become Sarah. The free ‘yud’ that was taken from Sarai was added to the name of Hoshea, to enable him to become Yehoshua. Only 2 out of the12 chosen men best of their tribes passed their tests. Only Yehoshua and Caleb ben YefunehCaleb ben Yefuneh HaKenizi according to the Talmud is the same as Caleb, ben Hetzron, of I Chronicles 2:18. There, we read that Caleb married a woman named Azuvah, and when she died, took a new wife called Efrat. Caleb’s son with Efrat was Hur, whose son was Uri, whose son was the famous Betzalel, craftsman of the Mishkan. Moshe feared for Joshua’s safety as he was from the tribe of Ephraim (Joseph’s son), and Joseph once gave an evil report about his brothers. Therefore in an attempt to protect Joshua , Moshe added the letter “yud” to his name.
All Jewish people need to feel, get in touch with their soul’s natural love for the Holy land ! To engage in that that momentous “Aliyah” (Going up) from the Diaspora to the Holy Land is so HUGE. Love the land appreciate how fortunate we are to have Israel, our God given homeland should be a central to our Jewish lives. Today many religious Jews do not focus on discovering the Holiness of The Holy Land. If they do go to Israel they go only as tourists. Not coming to “explore” the Holiness of The Land so their eyes are closed. Many are so foolish these days they only speak about the defects they find in The Land. Making excuses for not living or even coming to The Holy Land to feeding their soul and fulfill the Biblical commandment to live in The Holy Land. It sounds like they are involved in the sin of the spies. It did not turn out well for them ? Those who portray an unfairly negative image of Israel within our society will be held accountable, look what happened to the spies in our parsha. They were thrown from greatness hard and fast .
We need to become zealous for Hashem and his Holy Land every Jew that possibly can should move to the Holy Land and begin living the Holiest Life possible ! Live with zeal , in this weeks parsha a man named Tzlofchod goes out and gathers sticks on Shabbot in public deliberately and is sentenced to death
There are those who say Tzlofchod violated the laws of Shabot intentionally for the right reasons. He wanted to show the people the severity of Shabot violation. When people would see him stoned for desecrating Shabbos this sight would have a strong impact and act as a deterrent. There are three opinions which law of Shabot he transgressed: carrying four amot in the public domain, uprooting , maamer and heaping. (Gemora Shabbos 96b)
The prophecy the 70 elders prophesy received was the knowledge they needed to be on the Sanhedrin, Eldad and Meidad, Moshe’s half brothers prophesied for the ages. One predicted that Moshe Rabbeinu would not enter Eretz Yisroel, and the other, the future War of Gog and Magog. It was this that alarmed Aharon..
We see in the parsha even after the spies bring back a bad report and GOD is very disappointed with us, and wants to bring severe judgment. The intercession of Moshe saves us. R. Yochanon states ”wherever you find greatness you find meekness”. GOD wishes the world to acknowledge him, then He will suspend justice and retribution to further this end. For this reason we must appeal to GOD for mercy upon his people as the hour is ”dark”, as enemies surround us. With Divine intervention we will find protection and Peace. With a complete redemption with our righteous Messiah and the Holy Temple built Quickly in our days. AMEN

Rabbi Yosef Salant writes in his book Be’er Yosef that The sages wrote that the purpose of the Menorah was to enhance the light of the Torah in Yisrael. “
The Menorah…
hints at the Torah, which is called light”
says Rabeinu Bechayai the seven branches of the Menorah represent the seven types of wisdom, “teaching us
that all of wisdom was hewn out of the Torah as its source” [Natziv].
The Menorah’s complexity itself is a marvel as usually a menorah would be fashioned by first molding each of its parts on its own and then welding them together. The Menorah, however, was hammered out of a single piece of gold, originating as a single object and remaining a single object through the various stages of its construction, until the finished product. The menorah has 7 branches, 11 knobs, 9 flowers and 22 goblets, and is 17 handbreadths in height. These numbers conceal many secrets
“ONE MUST LIVE WITH THE TIMES” THIS ALSO REFERS TO LIVING IN THE TORAH PARSHA OF THE WEEK Bahalotecha בס”ד It says in this weeks parsha “ When you go to war against an enemy in your land, you shall sound the trumpets “. Concerning this verse the Shalah haKodesh says that the enemy referred here is the evil inclination. Like an invader he is always trying to nourish from Holiness. Time and time again he comes to do battle. This battle should not be taken lying down, but one must sound the trumpets. Meaning one must arouse their Nashama with great vigor. This is done by performing the mitzvot (commandment) with great kavana (intent). The sages mean this when they say that if one’s evil inclination rises up against him let him take it to the bait midrash (place of learning). If this does not work he should say the sma (Meditate on the Name of God), and if this does not work let him think of the day of death. Now we must also consider “When you go to war against an enemy in your land” in its most simple sense, as there is no doubt that The Jewish people have enemies in the Holy Land now. Know that these enemies are a manifestation of our evil inclinations, by this they are given force. By our adherence to the Torah, and standing strongly against those who are against God’s Torah. We shall conquer all our enemies, with the help of God. In our parsha is probably the most unusual verses in the whole Torah They are surrounded by two inverted “NuN” one before and one after. There is nothing like this Phenomena anywhere else in the whole Tanac”h. The interesting thing about these nuns is that nobody really knows what they’re supposed to look like, nobody really knows where they ought to be, and nobody really knows what they’re doing there anyway, and yet they exist and are a prescribed part of every Sefer Torah. These two verses are enclosed with a long space then a inverted NUN , then another long space on the other end. The two Nun can be written not only backward, but upside down, facing front, looking back over their shoulders. reversed, inverted, inverse or in disarray. There are many scribal rules about these spaces and letters, to this is no universal agreement. Where does the idea of adding these Scribal arrangements come from ? Must not the two Nun have been originally written into the text by hand by Moshe Rabbeynu atop Mount Sinai as dictated by The Holy One Since we are forbidden by Torah to add anything to the Torah ? As the Torah states “All this word which I command you, that you will observe to do; do not add to it, nor diminish from it. ” (Deuteronomy 13:1) If not, the only other explanation plausible is that the Rabbis instituted this following God’s command to ” build a fence around the Torah”, to help the rest of us avoid breaking the Torah’s laws. The Inverted Nun surrounding these verses look much like a “fence” surrounding the letters of the verses. Another reason for the 2 inverted nun is because : Every single letter of these two verses was dotted, causing a very problematic result: difficult to lay out, to write, and to read. This would also mean that God’s name would be dotted, which is impossible, since dotting traditionally indicates a erasing of the letters which are dotted This would also mean that God’s name would be dotted, which is impossible, since dotting traditionally indicates a erasing of the letters which are dotted. So dotting all the words could not actually be done, but it was alluded to by Nun around our verses referring to “nikud” (point), for this reason are the 2 inverted nun. : When the Ark went forth, Moses said : “Arise, O God, and scatter your enemies! Let your foes flee before You!” When it came to rest, he said, “Return, O God, the myriads of Israel’s thousands” (Numbers 10:35-36) The first verse has 12 words, like the last verse of the Torah and the second verse has 7 words like the first verse of the Torah. Rebbe (R. Yehuda HaNasi) said: (BaMidbar 10:35-36) ranks as a separate book of the Torah. The Talmud says with this section God placed symbols above and below… because it ranks as a significant book unto itself (Talmud, Shabbat 115b). Thus this renders the Torah into seven books. 1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus. 4) The beginning of the book of Numbers up to these two verses, 5) These two verses, 6) The rest of the book of Numbers, and 7) Deuteronomy]. These two verses consist of 85 letters. The sages tell us these two verses enclosed by the ‘inverted NuNs’ can be a separate book of the Torah as sefer (book) must be at least 85 letters long. This division of the Torah to 7 books will not be revealed until Mashiach arrives. 85 is =פה (mouth) For when the mouth is used for kidusha (Holiness) this creates a force , a flow of Kidusha in this person focusing him on spirituality fulfillment. By learning Torah speaking it out loud with a forceful voice is a very powerful tool for self change. Words of Torah are the Word of God. Concerning this verse it is written in the Emek ha Melech that “Whoever reads these words daily with proper intention will not be hurt, even when he may travel to a place of thieves, be at sea or in another dangerous location “ We actually say these verses every time the Torah is taken out from the Ark when we read the Torah. By this our“enemies” are scattered and “foes” flee. RECALL in Biblical times, the ARK led the armed forces into combat TORAH IS AMAZING. The Rebbe Rashab teaches that the 2 upside down נ are two brackets that combine to create a square, which is ם that looks like this [ ] . It is known to the mikubalim that the sefirot called yosher (superatural) enter the sefirot of “nature” the circular sefirot at the end of the “kav” through the square. When all Israel (as 12 tribes) comes together as one and connect to the Torah, Mashiach will be revealed. The two inverted Nuns will drop and the Light of the Holy Ark will spread throughout the whole seven books of the Torah. The 19 (12+7) words will bring together the beginning and end of the Torah, closing the circle and flood existence with the light that awaits us from the day of creation. This will be enough for those who understand. “When the Ark will travel” alludes to the Divine light’s journey to Earth. The ark in Hebrew is “ohron,” which consists of the letters ohr (light) and nun. By this we come well prepared to face all adversaries. As with us is the light of the ark leading the way, giving us the power to “scatter” all enemies” and cause all foes to flee by the light that comes from between the “brackets”, the 2 upside down נ are two brackets that combine to create a square, which is ם that looks like this [ ] . The Chida in his book Nachal Kedumim the letter nun were chosen to box in these two verses is because the teachings contained within are from the fiftieth and highest gate of understanding which is hinted to by the numerical value of a nun, which is fifty, The Chida writes that now, we have only eighty-five letters left in these two verses alluding to there used to be more letters in this “sefer” of 2 verses. This is because The Zohar Chadash says that there are 600,000 letters in a Torah scroll. Counted the letters in a Torah scroll are 304,805 letters. It must be the 295195 other letters were or are hidden in the book between the “2 nun”. A Midrash explains a book called the Prophecy of Eldad and Medad was suppressed only these two verses remain of it. That is why they are marked by the inverted nuns
In the the Septuagint a second century BCE translation of the Torah into Greek. They did not translate the two verses where they are today. Rather they moved verses 35 and 36 to be before verse 34 ?
The Parshiyot from this point onward of the 2 upside down נ are different then those preceding, as these up coming parsha are full of difficulties, problems and failings.
R. Shimon ben Gamliel taught that this section when Mashiach comes will be removed from here and written in its rightful place. Its rightful place is in the chapter with the banners of the tribes in BaMidbar 2.This seems to be involved with the teaching of our sages that the stories in the Torah are not always arranged in chronological order. These verses were written here in order to provide an interruption between the first account of punishment. The first account of punishment is : “And they moved away from the mountain of the Lord…” (BaMidbar 10:33) The second account of punishment is : “And the people were as murmurers…” T (BaMidbar 11:1 When Amram decided to divorce Yocheved so as to be sure to not produce any babies for Pharoe to kill. Yocheved did not agree so she married Eltzapon ben Parnach of the Tribe of Dan. Their children are the Eldad and Medad in our parsha that prophesied. One when assaulted by their evil inclination needs to run into Holiness, as it says “the chyot (angels) ran and returned” (Ezekiel). By this running we will find ourselves in a new place with a new awareness far from the thoughts of the sitra achra (other side). As it is taught by Elijah the Prophet in Tana DebElyahu that to prevent the evil inclination from gaining a foothold, like Aaron haKohen one should daily light the Manorah so that it is always burning. As the Manorah has 7 openings, so are there found 7 openings in one’s head. We have 2 eyes. We must prevent our vision from leading us astray. One’s eyes need to be dedicated only for the use of Holiness. The eyes are conduits of Chuchmah (Divine wisdom, Creativity, inspiration). Let all ones inspiration lead to Holiness. Likewise one’s ears should not listen to evil. The ears are conduits of Divine understanding. Let all one’s understanding be found in the Torah. The nose is the sense by which Mashiach (Messiah) shall discern judgment. It is a conduit for Dat (Divine knowledge). Let one know before they proceed that what they will do will be Holy. While the mouth should be used to speak words of Torah and prayer, not lushon hora (evil speech). The mouth is the conduit of Malchut. Let it be that all one’s actions drive them closer to Holiness in the governance of God. If one guards these portals they will not nourish the evil inclination, and it will not come to slay them. When one is doing mitzvot it will have less strength to interfere. Like during tefila (prayer) the evil inclination will not interfere with their thoughts to distract his mind from his Divine contemplation. He will be able to perform his mitzvot with kavana (intention). By following such instruction we will win our battle against the yetzer hora (evil inclination). The yetzer hora will have no way to gain ascendency over us. Evil will have no way to gain nourishment. Then there will be yielded from the mitzvot that will be done in purity with great kavana a great degree of light ultimately heralding in with a great shofar blast with our righteous mashich, when evil shall finally be defeated. Then we shall rejoice with God in His Holy Temple and may this be quickly in our days.

BAMIDBAR בס”ד
The book of “Bamidbar” (Numbers- It literally translates to In the Desert) has ten “parashot” (portions of weekly readings) in it. Maybe these coincide with the Ten Commandments.This Parasha is usually read on the Shabbat before Shavuot. As the “Midbar” (Desert) prepares us for the giving/receiving of the Torah. Sefer Bamidbar or in English The Book of Numbers describes a journey that begins at Sinai and continues until Bnei Yisrael arrive at the shores of the Jordan River. During this 40 year journey the nation of Israel learns religious and ethical ideals that will be implemented in the land of Israel. We see the numerical value of the word “במדבר” (in the Desert) is 248, alluding to the number of positive commandments and bones in a man’s body. It is interesting to point out that the number 248 represents the same numerical value of the words בצלם אלהים (in the image God) and בדרך הטוב (in the righteous path). This comes to teach us that when we walk in God’s way . in His image, and fulfill the commandments , even the most difficult places like a desert will not be so difficult for one who follows Gods will. We got back the land of Israel on אייר י “ה ( The 15th ) of Iyar in 1948. This month “Iyar” (“אייר”) is a Holy time for Bnei-Yisrael, notice that there are two of the letter “Yod” (“יי”), of God’s name and יהו”ה .
The Torah was given in the desert to show Yisrael and the world for generations to come the ultimate protection one can have in very harsh conditions, by accepting the Torah and fulfilling it. Let’s try to imagine taking millions of people through one of the most dangerous Deserts in the world. Without water, food, and with all the dangerous elements such as animals, snakes, heat, etc. Yisrael were provided for with water, food, shelter, and protection from all the dangerous elements and at the end of this journey came out just as they went in. Only by the Divine miracles of God, the clouds of glory and the merits of the Torah. Were Yisrael able to survive and even thrive in the desert. Yisrael witnessed so many miracles while they traveled in the Sinai Desert, their daily lives were all above nature and defied logic. The Jewish people are the chosen people by HaShem and the Torah is the “marriage contract” outlining all that is needed to maintain such a relationship.
In the Torah God didn’t record dates and times of events in the first generations as these generations did not follow, did not listen to God and his messengers, dates were not recorded. The Torah records the times of the greatness of Yisrael since as He dwells among them. In these places the Torah records the exact dates. The Zohar teaches us that the Tabernacle are given to Yisrael and HaShem dwells among them, He too counts Yisrael as they were the `troops the “legion of Heavens”. They protect both lower and upper worlds. For this reaspm the countings were specific to Jews and did not include the “Erev-Rav” (the mixed multitude) who left Egypt with Yisrael.
Our universe is not a solid immutable reality but It exists in a fluid ever changing state of continuous creation. Most people are not aware of this now but for the forty years after the Hebrews left Egypt and lived in the desert they survived through continuous miracles. Manna fell from heaven , Clouds of Glory that protected them.Their survival was clearly dependent on God it was impossible to sustain the illusion that it was natural. Such living is the opposite of todays illusion. To some extent this fluid ever changing state of continuous creation is still in play today, but it and its “applications” are not revealed. This awareness is deeply implanted within the soul. According to the dominance of one’s obsession with the physical world it is concealed from consciousness.
The secret of the “Mishkan” (Tabernacle) is that the glory of God that appeared upon Mount Sinai should be hidden within it. The concept is that God’s revelation to us at mount Sinai continued in the context of the “Mishkan” ! The “Mishkan” endured various temporary conditions such as in Shilo and Givon until it reached Jerusalem. The moment it arrived there and the Beit HaMikdash (Holy Temple) was built, the Temple Mount and Jerusalem were endowed with ultimate sanctity.
In the beginning of this week’s reading, God commands Moses: “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by the clans of its ancestral homes, listing the names [lit.according to the number of names], every male, head by head” (Num. 1:2). Let us examine this unusual expression: “According to the number of names.” This expression seems like an oxymoron, for it concerns two opposites. A person’s name expresses the hidden inner essence. A person’s name is individual, belongs only to him or her, and attests his or her essence; but number expresses quantity, size. A soldier in an army receives a number, his individual personality being erased as it were, turning him into a cog in the wheel. The sages say in midrash that the God had the Hebrew people counted so many times because they are so dear to him. They were counted when leaving Egypt, after killing those who worshiped to golden calf, and on the first of Iyar after the “Miscon” was set up. Its written in the Torah : “The Israelites shall encamp troop by troop, each man with his division and each under his flag” (Num. 1:52). The place of the individual within the generality finds expressions in a flag, Consider, how by a flag we identify many individuals who all belong to a single group. We know they have common objectives, they all work together to promote the groups goals ? To explain this we use flags. Similarly, a flag is used as a symbol, identifying a country. This basic level of flags exists in every nation, society, and public group. The flag serves as a national logo. The nation of Israel is not merely a collection of individuals comprising a whole, Rather Israel is a whole that finds expression in its individuals. The role of the individuals is to elevate, move forward and propel the nation upwards in Holiness. It is a wonderful thing that we who are called the nation of Israel, are on earth to make it into a light unto the nations. To carry the teachings of the Torah forth from Zion and the word of God from Jerusalem. The flags reminds us of the great responsibilities that have been placed by God on the Jewish people. We are supposed to identify with these ideals our flags remind us of and live by the principles they stand for and to promote the ideas the flags of the Tribal encampment in the dessert express. This is much like it is above as we see in the Midrash. When the Holy One, blessed be He, was revealed on Mount Sinai, two hundred and twenty thousand angels came down with him, as it is said (Ps. 68:18), “God’s chariots are myriads upon myriads, thousands upon thousands.” And they were all arrayed by flags as it is said (Song 5:10), “flags among ten thousand.” in Hebrew the word for flag here is “dagul”, like by the encampment in the desert. Each of the 12 tribes of Israel has its own flag as by the union of pluralities of our people we are called a nation. The Midrash Tanchumah concludes: “The Holy One, blessed be He, said to them ” By the merits of these banners, I shall redeem you.” The aspiration of each and every Jew to serve as a living banner for the Holy One, blessed be He, in this world will, God willing, hasten Redemption. The camp of the Israelites was not a melting pot, but rather the individual tribes preserved their own identity, each under its own flag and the message the flags carried. Know, these counting were specific to the Jews and did not include the “Erev-Rav” (the mixed multitude) who joined Yisrael as they left Egypt. This part of the Torah some call the book of Numbers has some very interesting numbers. Moses, along with Aharon counted Yisrael’s males between the ages of 20 and 60 years old, reached the total amount of 603,550. It is interesting that the counting made right before the completion of the Tabernacle, in the book of Exodus (38:26) amounts to a total count of male between the ages of 20 and 60 years old is the same number , “six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men. This is also the exact amount of silver collected from Bnei-Yisrael when they gave half a shekel represents the same number; the total counting of the males between the ages of 20 and 60 years old – 603,550 ?
The Hebrew people encamped with the God in their midst in the desert. They were not occupied with pleasures of this world. There focus was always the God in their midst. In a certain sense the Hebrew people always need to see their life being encamped with the God in their midst at all times.
This weeks Haftorah (The portions of the Bible God told the Prophets to have read in public on each Sabbath) begins “ And the children of Yisrael shall be as the sand of the sea that can not be counted or measured “ Yet right in the beginning of our parsha it says “Take the heads of all the congregation of all the children of Isreal by their families houses, numbering of them, names of all the males by their skulls”.
Now it is known that a blessing does not rest on that which is counted. As the haftorah says “That can not be counted or measured “. At other times all Yisrael were counted by the 1/2 shekel coin each year donated to the Holy Temple in Adar. By doing this the people were never counted, only coins. But what about this counting of the people ?. We learn from the Shalah Hakodesh in Sni Luchot HaBrit that blessings don’t rest on that which is counted when its measurement is intrinsically physical, being part of the material world. As such numbering by its nature creates limitation, but numbering in context of the spiritual worlds does not impose limitation. Numbers in the context of the spiritual worlds does not imply limitation as each such number advances towards great achievements. So here we don’t have counting as with physical things, but what we have here is as it states counting of “ gilgulatom “ (their skulls). In the Zohar it talks about the eminations from the “ gilgulata “ (skull) of parzufim (structures that emanate and reveal Divine energy). In this context “ gilgulata “ refers specifically to the aspect of the parzuf called Arich Anpin (long face), this parzuf is the place of emination and revelation of the will of God. Concerning the skull of parzuf Atik Yamin (place where delight is eminated from) are great secrets which are seldom heard. Here we can find infinite wisdom. It was spoken concerning the skull by Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochi in the last moments of his life in a body on this earth at the idra Zuta. The final gathering of Rabbi Shimon and his companions of the Zohar. This we celebrated a short time ago and each year it is celebrated where he is buried in Maron with at least 400,000 people. It is the largest celebration Here in Aretz ha Kodesh. There shall be left in the land of Israel in the Time of the Mashiach 7000 people. These are the secret of מ”ב to their skulls. This is the secret of מ”ב from which the world was created. And in the souls of these Sadeekem it is ruled.
From Rebbe Shimon we learn that the skull is full of dew, it contains a membrane that surrounds the brain and a atmosphere. To it is a beard of pure wool containing 13 attributes of Divine mercy. A forehead that functions as supernal will, a eye of providence that is eternally open. Nostrils of His nose to breath life force. The flow of chuchmah (Divine wisdom) is called scent. All wisdom of the world is from the nose of Arich. The beard is made of whats called dikna (conduits). When the dikna of parzuf Atik (place where delight is eminated from) are clear it illuminates the Dikna of parzuf Zier Anpin (Source of emination of the emotional soul) drawing down 13 passages of supernal oil (Divine wisdom). Then in the dikna of Z’a we find there are 22 tikuney dikna (conduits of corrective eminations). It is from there we draw out the 22 letters of the Holy tongue, 22 letters of the Torah and all creation.
So the counting here is more like a recognition of each Isrealite being set aside for his supernal purpose from the powers manifest in the “ gilgulata “ (skull). As the Shalah said concerning spiritual counting “Each such number advances towards great achievements”. Thus here Moshe is setting aside each individual in Yisrael by their “ gilgulata “ making them sanctified, separated and distinguishing each according to their distinct part in the Holy nation. The Torah stresses that every person was counted by their “ gilgulata “ (by his skull). Meaning, as an individual. In other words, the unique characteristics exclusive to each individual are not to be suppressed or destroyed, but protected and integrated into the national whole. As Holiness infers separation. So here Moshe designates each individual of Yisreal distinguished at the “ gilgulata“ level (his powers, purpose). As
each person in Yisrael has their own singular characteristics and qualities. Thus we must help each individual fulfill there potential and only then as a people we will be complete. The lack of potential by any single individual in Yisrael can impact the functioning of the entire nation, God forbid hindering the completion of their mission. Thus, any threat to individuals is seen as a threat to the whole nation. Individuality and national Solidarity are necessary and actionable imperatives. Solidarity and unity among the nation of Israel is from a Conventional fellowship we entered at Sinai. It is this that unites all Jews. This is not a voluntary undertaking. once the Israelites accepted the Torah, they were and are bound together by bonds of legal — not emotional — solidarity of Torah law. Even more than this we know, “all Israel are guarantors one for the other.” We are responsible for the behavior of one another. Thus as much as the precious nature of the individual in Yisrael is essential and must be preserved, developed and protected. The collective aspect of Yisrael being “all Israel are guarantors one for the other.” is also unique among our nation. This involuntary status imposing the lifestyle of Torah law on the nation of Yisrael marks the distinction between the correct Jewish worldview and that of the rest of the world. As much as the Torah teaches us here how essential our true individual character is important to our “tikun” (fixing of our soul and the world). Do not be mistaken and think as people do today. I am by no means advocating a “I-society”. A society where its individuals main concern is ONLY for want they want and attitudes like I’m too busy to raise a family, I have to a make a name for my honor before I die. Increasing individualism, at the expense of communal well-being appears in societies that are in decline.
May it be from this act of Moshe designating each individual of Yisreal distinguished at the “ gilgulata“ level (his powers, purpose) there should soon manifest the complete energy of redemption. With the revelation of our righteous Mashiach quickly in our days.
