Main Session
SPEAKER_02From a uh Kabbalistic point of view, in fact, uh there is no such thing as holidays. There's only one terminology for what the cosmic code in the Bible is all about. And what Rabbi Shimon revealed to us when he came out of the cave with his son Rabalazza and brought to the world the Zoha. This in fact was more revealing than the Bible itself because Rebishimon throughout the Zoha, and I guess with um with proper credentials, claimed that the Bible, that the Bible was nothing more than a cosmic code, the narrations, the tales, the history that the Jew had already assumed was what the Bible was all about, and along comes Abishimon and says, you know, it's all a mistake. Now we also know he was right that the superficial understanding, when I say superficial, I am not referring to the commentators on the Bible because unfortunately we do not understand what they meant. Because according to Dabishimon, the holy Tana, the Bible came to provide us with an understanding of what this is all about, what our purpose in the scheme of things is all about, and more importantly, that when he witnessed the destruction of the Second Temple, he understood that after the glorious period of the Holy Temple I and II, and twenty four thousand of his colleagues were inhumanely slaughtered for the reason that the Talmud tells us because Shalonag Kavod Zeimse, they had no respect for one another. It was a complete ego trip. It was a complete ego trip, in other words, they all observed the Bible, they all adhered to all of the precepts in the Bible, and they were scholars because they were students of Rabbi Akiva. And if you're not so sure of as to the credentials of Rabbi Akiva, I might quote a Gemara in Tractate Shabbat that when the Lord decided to reveal the Bible on Mount Sinai, he assumed there was no better messenger on his behalf than Moses. And along came Moses and said, Why do you choose me to represent the Lord in Revelation on Mount Sinai when there is a soul far higher in a higher spiritual realm than I am. His name is Rabbi Akiva, to which the Lord did not respond. He said, So be it as I declare, and it would be you, Moses, and not Rabbi Akiva. And this was Rabbi Akiva who established the world's center of study with amassing twenty four thousand students, and they all perished in the Holocaust because they couldn't respect one another. And when the Ribbi Shimon saw this, and through the intervention of the Lord Himself, decided that there must come a time when there would be a redefining of what the Bible was all about. I remember when I was uh a young boy in the yeshiva, and for whatever reason I don't even recall, I began to question, didn't question too much, I don't want to give you the impression that I was a seeker, because I was as far removed from seeking spirituality than, you know, like most Talmudical students. But I only questioned one aspect of Judaism, and that was that when the Messiah comes, all the Jews will be united. And I guess that to me at that time was so far-fetched because during the time of Rabbi Akiva, that didn't materialize. In our day, just look at the fragmentation of Judaism. You have Reform, you have Orthodox, you have conservative, and you have those in between, and then you have the aph. I mean, you know, you have two Jews and you have three opinions. And this was the nation that would bring Mashiach. I I I I just thought it was inconceivable, and I, while I just continued on with my studies, I knew that that was something that I never really believed would actually happen, that Jews would ever be united. In fact, we had a guest uh from Grand Rapids uh the other day, and uh he tells us a joke. He left his reformed temple. Why did he leave the reformed temple? Because he approached the rabbi and says, Rabbi, what happens when the Messiah comes? What would you know what happens to you? He says, I'll be out of a job. I'll be out of a job. You know, who says the coming of the Messiah is such a great thing? People's lives might even have, you know, will change. Is that good? Rabbi Shimon understood as today the direction of the center, which is unique, and we are not as yet referred to as heretics, but the center has taken on a new position insofar as Judaism is concerned, and insofar as the Bible is concerned, and this was what Rabishimon meant from the very beginning. The Bible is a cosmic code. Anyone who reads the Bible and understands the Bible as it is written is a fool. Furthermore, the longstanding moral and ethics of the Bible from our point of view is a complete hoax. It's a hoax. For the Bible to have ever suggested that we should not steal, because that's what a good person does, he doesn't steal, should not murder. And other moral and ethics included within the Torah simply doesn't even work. It hasn't worked in the past, not the last two thousand years. I'm talking about those Jews of the Dor Dea. The Jews that Rabishimon qualifies as the most informed generation that the Jewish nation had ever had ever been until the time of the Messiah, when information again will appear, but with one added dimension. When the Jew approached Mount Sinai, were they spiritual? The answer is of course, no, they were not spiritual. Because if you read the Bible, and when they saw the ten plagues, they saw the miracle of the splitting of the Red Sea, they then asked, What about the fish we tasted in Egypt? You remember how good it was? Let us return to Egypt, they said. And this is just before Revelation on Mount Sinai. And at the same time, the Zoer informs us that they had received the totality of knowledge concerning the universe, concerning how to tap cosmic energies. They were all informed, but they had not, by and within themselves, achieved any level of spirituality. The only thing wrong. But you know what? That slight defect, that slight liability, was the reason that they never entered the land of Israel. The Ari says that the generation of the age of Messiah, in which we are according to Avraham Azulai, that famous Kabbalist, that we are already in the age of Aquarius, that the people who will inhabit, the Jews who will inhabit this planet Earth, will be those Jews who were informed during the Exodus, and because they had not achieved a level of spirituality, will return. And these will be the same Jews, again incarnated with the hope that they will achieve the level of spirituality that is necessary to bring the Messiah. I can say, looking back, with the twenty years that we have been together in this enjoyable struggle, or my twenty-five years, that I learned from my master at the very beginning that Kabbalah can reunite the Jew. I saw that in action with my teacher, a man that certainly didn't resemble a modern rabbi, he was in fact an admo, a Rabbi. His garb, his appearance was anything but a presentable modern individual. And when twenty-five years ago I saw how these not reformed Jews, when these hateful Jews who scorn religion could embrace him and love him, and I said, But what is this? You people seek out Yom Kippur's the night to make your greatest feast. How can you embrace a man like this? He doesn't even make any pretense he's like you. And they said, but don't you know he's a Kabbalist? And I never forgot that. And I can safely say and happily say that in 25 years I saw with my own eyes, my own experience, and that experience is now shared by many, many other people, how Jews of all persuasions can be brought together. You don't hear the word orthodox anymore, you don't hear the word reform anymore, you don't hear the labels anymore. In fact, according to Rabbi Ashlag, and this may sound heretic, that you're not supposed to say Jew anymore because not only the Jew, but the non-Jew is now going to have to share the responsibility of bringing Mashiach. And I don't want to get into that today. So it's not even the Jew. Maybe they gave up on the Jew, so we need the support of the non-Jew today. That could be. But in any event, this is what Rabbi Ashak states. It requires the effort of everybody. And Abhishimon brought that idea that when we discuss a hag, when we discuss a holiday, we are no longer discussing religiosity, we are not no longer discussing Judaism, because there is no such thing as Judaism. There is only one thing. To make the world a better place, for me it doesn't pay to steal. And Rabbi Shimon explains why. But not because I am obligated not to steal, but because it doesn't pay for me. Not for anyone else, but for me. To observe a holiday is not for Jewish heritage, not to maintain and perpetuate Judaism. That is not the reason. There is no such thing as religion. There never was anything called religion, and there never will be a something called religion. And I can only say we have the support of most peoples in the world, Jew and non-Jew, who disclaim religion because it hasn't done the job. Something went wrong. And according to the Bishimon, the internal meanings of how we can become better people, and there's only one way to become a better person. When you're satisfied, you can't preach to be kind to somebody else if you yourself don't feel fulfilled. What do you mean, be kind? I have to be kind to myself first. Let's be practical. It doesn't work. There are no moral and ethics that can convince anybody to be a better person. It's got to be suited for the individual. Therefore, when we come to Lag Bomber, we're throwing out every kind of meaning of Lagbomer that has been established for 2,000 years. Does that mean we conflict with the sages? Of course not. Unfortunately, their interpretation was taken too literally, too superficially, and what was left was the body without the soul. Some of the reasons we're here tonight for Log Balmer. The plague stopped. 24,000 students of Rabbi Akiva perished, and the plague, excuse me, the plague stopped on Log Balmer. Why did it stop on Logbal? It stopped. You mean things happen without a cause? Logbalmer. The counting of the Omer. Do you know why we count the omer? Say some. Because the Jew in the wilderness was looking forward, you see, to revelation. And he was counting the days, you know, in expectancy of a great event to occur. This was the reason for counting of the Omer. And it does say so in the Torah. It doesn't say that's the reason, but it says there is a precept, a counting, to count the Omer. But then again, I guess the counting of the Omer was for those people, because they were expecting this great event, revelation on Mount Sinai. However, the Talmud at the same time tells us that while the Jew was standing on Mount Sinai, Kafalahem Harakhagigit, the creator, bent over the mountain and put the Jews into that crater, and it said, if you do not accept the Bible, you see, shum te kivura tam. That's where your burial ground is going to be. I will put an end to you now. If you do not accept the Torah, this is a nation really expecting this revelation. That's what it sounds like, doesn't it? The counting of the Omah, the counting of the Omah was specifically for the reason that during this period is called Yameha Din. The time of Din, time of judgment, time of negativity. Why is it called the time of negativity? Because whatever happened on Passover, the great revelation of the fourth. Of light that brought the release of the Israelites from bondage to freedom, that force disappeared immediately at the close of the fifteenth day of Nisan. And the world was enveloped in a darkness. This darkness was even more severe because the light, the light of Meshiach had already arrived. But the Jew hadn't earned that light, and therefore it disappeared. And because this period, this 49 days, and I won't go into the reason for 49 days, I'm sure most of you know why, but these 49 days was a period of darkness. And when the Bible provided us with a precept to count, to count the Omah, it was providing us with a software on how we can connect with hardware. It provided us with tools by which these days of din, of judgment, of severe judgment, would not affect us. It was for our well-being that the Torah provided us with a precept, which does not exist in the form of a precept, but provided us with a channel. That if you want to avoid the pitfalls of these 49 days, this is the way you can do it. Counting, the word for counting in Hebrew is usfaratem. And the prayer book with the knowledge of Kabbalah. Understood that the word counting meant connect with the Spira. Because Sfatem, counting, the origin of that word is sefira. That we should connect with each particular day, which was a form of bottled-up energy, and that instead of suffering the consequences of Yemeddin, of judgment, we can turn it around. While there would be judgment, there would at the same time be fulfillment. Paradox. At the same time, duality. Where did the Jew experience duality? That was the night of Passover. The slaying of the firstborn. There was the slaying of the Egyptian firstborn. But it didn't affect. The Israelite, on the contrary, that brought freedom. Destruction, on the one hand, and the same force brought freedom. The splitting of the Red Sea. Duality in the cosmos, positive and negative. There was the saving, the passage of the Israelite through the Red Sea, and at the same time, the destruction of the Middle Kingdom. It brought an end to the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. That force that the world never knew afterwards. That was the force that was eternally destroyed. Duality. So in the cosmos, the Torah teaches us, there is duality, positive and negative. If you're smart, if you have the knowledge, you can connect. And it is no secret, says the Zohar, that the secret and mystery of the 72 letters, which again, through the efforts of the center, is coming out. We practice on Shabbat some of Rabishimon's mystical letters. It's coming out. And Rabishimon said, it will come out in the age of Aquarius, how it will be beneficial for the mental and physical well-being of all of us. When did this these 72 combinations of letters first make their appearance before the splitting of the Red Sea? Why? Because without without this mind power of the 72 letters, that splitting of the Red Sea would never come about. It would never come about. It was vital and necessary for the Jew to have free passage. Without those 72 letters, it never would have happened. So when we discuss Lagbooma, when we discuss Lag Boma, we are talking about a spear up, a particular bottled-up energy. The plague stopped, and therefore we celebrate Lag Boma. But that is the same fallacy that most Jews understand about Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the holy city because the holy temple was established there. And according to the Bishimon, it's the opposite. Jerusalem is a holy city with a certain particular power in that city. Therefore, the Bethamiddash was located there. But not that the effect called Beth Amigdash, which was a channel for that energy, because everything is only energy. In fact, you know, there's a fellow called Sir James Jeans. And like all physicists today, you see this chair I'm sitting on? It may not exist. If I decide the chair is there, it exists. Nothing is reality. So Sir James Jeans goes even further and says, you know, in this world there's really nothing of reality except thought. What a revelation. And yet I didn't know that anyone but an idiot makes things manifest in a physical way without prior thinking. So what really governs this universe? What governs the individual action of a person, if not thought? But we've gotten away from thought. We think we can't think anymore, especially in the age of computers. Who can think? Computer thinks for us. We are merely robots. The action is in thought, in meditation, and what you think you are, where you think you will be, is what it's all about. The reason this is a holiday, and I don't want to say it before we count, but I want you to understand what we're going to do tonight, with the counting at least. It is the culmination at seed level. Tonight is the culmination of seed level, meaning on a on another altered state of conscious level, the force is present. The reason the plague stopped? Because the negative activity of these students could no longer overtake and overcome and overwhelm the universe, how negative they were, because the light became manifest on this day. And you know what happens when you have a dark room or a dark universe? All you have to do is strike a match. That's all. Strike a match. This day is when the light made its appearance like Shivuok. Like tonight is Shivuok. Tonight is Shivuok. Shivuok that we will experience in sixteen or seventeen days. Hence, is the culmination and physical expression, a much lower level. But not all of us can really connect to all the states of consciousness. Not all of us, maybe most of us can't. So what is so significant about this day? But remember, whatever is significant about this day, remember there is one thing significant, and that is we're going to tap a certain energy. Because there is no such thing as celebration of a day. There's a particular cosmic event that's making its appearance tonight. Tonight. And we have the tools. Thanks to the Ari and thanks to Saji Gaon, we have the tools. Those tools appear in the prayer book. Unfortunately, the prayer books are not written by Kabbalists, so not all prayer books provide you with the totality of a channel. Unfortunately, it gives you, like the teasers, up until the point, and sometimes they'll even omit just the sphirah, you see. Nothing more. Everything is there, but except maybe they don't mention the spira. You don't mention the sphira, you haven't made the connection. So most prayer books do not contain that aspect. Ignorance. Ignorance. We have that tool, but we must also know because knowing is the connection. As it says in Genesis chapter 4, verse 1. Adam Yada et Kaba. Adam knew Eve, and she gave birth to Cain. What a miracle. What a miracle. But the Zoah says it wasn't a miracle. But there is a mystery here that has to be revealed. Adam knew Eve, meaning knowing is connection. Of course they had physical intercourse. But here the Torah wants to tell us that the only way you make connections with anything, if you read that prayer book, you hear the Torah read, you study, but you don't know why you're studying. You don't know why you're praying. You haven't made connections. Tonight, we want to make connections to that time, that point in time. That speed up, which we will shortly mention. We are connecting with that kind of energy, the energy of Shvor, but on a much higher level. On a much higher level. And therefore, it is appropriate that we understand now what most people in reading the Zoha, which is included in what is called Haidra Zuta Kadisha, the small assembly. When the Ribishimon first came out of Pekin after having received the revelation of the Zoha, he met at the Idr Rabbah. He met at the Idra Rabba. Idr Rabba is called the Great Assemblage. That is where the center is tonight. Where Rabishimon first revealed to eight other people beside he himself and his son Rabalazza the teachings that he received direct, and as the Adri said, Rabishimon was an incarnation of Moses, that he received from Moses and Elijah. He revealed for the first time in this Idraraba where we are tonight. And we will shortly, for those of you who have never been to Israel or have been to Israel, but have never been to Meron on Lagboma, my friend Mori Ohai has brought a cassette of 14 years ago when we were in Maron together, and it will give us a connection. You must have these connections on a physical level, but more importantly, we need connections to connect to that outer space connection. We just said tonight's shavot, but it's not shvat. There is no precepts, no prohibitions that usually accompany Shivod. Because it's far above and beyond that level. It's like when Meshiach comes, you know, there is no Shabbat and there is no Khagim. There is nothing except Purim. Nothing. Because we'll be in another dimension, another altered, an altered state of consciousness. So we have to make those connections. But what about making the connection now to that Svira of tonight? That Svira, which is more powerful than the Svira of Shvot. More powerful, and that's why the plague ended, incidentally. We don't celebrate this day, but Rabishimon could bring out that light. On that day, he himself, as the to as the Zoha, maybe Rabishimon was a very proud man. He wrote some incredible stories about himself, but I'm inclined to believe that he wasn't really so egotistical, and that he was really telling the story as it was, that he stopped the plague. He by connecting with that energy and making it manifest. And therefore it says on this day, Lamadnu, it says in the Zoha, and this is called the Idra Zuta, because this is the revelation of Rabishimon on the day of his passing. And there was a small assemblage because not all the original students were present at this teaching. So it's called the Idra Zuta. And Lamadnu, we learn, B'Otoyom, this day share Bishimon Ratzal is talek mina olam when Abishimon desired to leave this world. And when I came across this sentence for the first time, I asked the obvious question. Rabishimon decided to leave this world? Nowhere in the Torah does it ever say that someone decided and came to the Lord and said, I'm choosing this day to leave. One man, one man said that. Moshe was on a higher level than Rabishimo, no question. No question. However, we're talking about an individual who was not amongst the chariots. He was right here, down at our level. And he spoke thus and said, When I wanted to leave this world, Baham Sad Devarav Nitaspu Khaverim Es Rabishimon. And he gathered the remaining students. Why did Rabishimon want to leave today? On the contrary, this was the day we needed him most. And this is the day whenever he left, he left the Jews as orphans. Jews the next day. In his gates of the Holy Spirit, explained it thusly. On the day that a Sadiq passes on, is a day of rejoicing. It's a day of rejoicing. Why is it a day of rejoicing? Because and more specifically about the Rabbi Shimon. Why did Rabishimon know that he had to leave? Why did he know he had to leave? You think he wanted to leave? No. He was forced to leave. And you think he was forced to leave because of the usual reasons? The answer is also no. But the Nachash the snake, who is the embodiment of negative energy intelligence, came to the Creator. He says, Look, you say I have a purpose in this world. Man in this existence must have free will, must have a choice. There cannot be any determinism. Therefore, I'm here. I can convince people in many ways on why it is worthwhile to steal, why it is worthwhile to murder. This is my function. And do you know what has been happening of late? Rabishimon seeks me out. Here people run away from me. They're afraid. You know, I'm going to capture them. Rabishimon, he looks for me. In fact, I have no found no place where I can hide from him. Now, if you do not request Rabishimon to leave, free will in this universe comes to an end. And so the creator came to Rabishimon, he said, You've washed them out. It's all over with. The people have not been given the opportunity for free will. You've got to leave. No choice. A very unusual reason for someone leaving this planet. Surabi Shimon left today. Why? Because a tzadik is someone, and the reason he's called a Sadiq is because the snake has been overpowered. Been overpowered. And according to the Zoha, like that be Shimon, like Yosef at Sadiq, Yaakov, when these people are interred in earth, the body does not disintegrate. Because the reason for the body returning to its origin, because Adam was made from Adama from Earth, is because the energy, internal, energy, intelligence of the body is desire to receive for oneself alone. That's earth. But a Sadiq has so overwhelmed and controls the that body, internal energy of the body, that now the body serves the soul rather than the soul serves the body. And we are mortal human beings. It is a lot easier for us to connect to a mortal. person than it is to someone who's on a metaphysical or spiritual level. Sadiqim remain in that physical form even after death for the reason that when we connect with them one mortal to another can connect. Spiritual, metaphysical, the physical find it somewhat difficult to join forces. Rebishimon chose this day because he would be the intermediary, because he had the connection right to the top. But I, a mortal human being, how can I connect to that same powerhouse that Rebishimon connected? So he chose today because the day that a Sadiq leaves is the day when there has been a total washout of negative energy intelligence. He has control. And if I can connect with that Sadiq, then I in effect am also part of that washing out, that canceling, that nullifying that negative energy intelligence that exists in the cosmos. And for me, I can connect straight to the light because there's the only barrier between me and light is the klipa, the shell. If it's washed out it's non-existent. Then what prevents me, you know what prevents me from flying? Friction. What is friction? What's the internal energy intelligence of friction? Desire to receive for oneself alone. That force that negative force so that Bishimon shows this day this day alone that we can connect that we can connect to that force that was more powerful more powerful than Shiva itself. More powerful than Shivat. But you've got to know if you don't know you can't connect and so we are connecting with Rabishimon. Aside from speaking of the merits of Rabishimon, we also make the one connection that Rabishimon feels is the true metaphysical connection and that is the Zor itself the reason for the revelation of the Zoa. The reason it was written in Aramaic as I've already explained is to make this connection on a metaphysical level and so I want to read the first paragraph in Aramaic because this will be the beginning of our connection to the Bishimon we will be making other connections we will hear the beginning of the Tay. We will hear an actual Lag Boma in Madon in Madon We also have more insurance for our trip to that cosmic event that takes place today. And that is our group our group is there who will be meditating to connect with us as we are going to meditate to connect with them and then we will make use of the channels that the Ari specifically provided for us in connecting with this night. Now one other aspect of this night and that is it is customary I say customary tradition to be awake all evening and study why a holy day but there are many holy days in the year even young key poor one is not required to study all night after prayer you go to sleep and wake up in fact it's suggested that you do go get some rest because you gotta fast tomorrow so yeah tonight for those who want to make further connections if you can are going to be up all night because the aspect of being up all night is mentioned in the Zoha. That on Shibot Rabbi Shimon in the Hagdama of the Seferazor in the prologue of the Sephirotha Rabbi Shimon discusses Shboot and he says that he remained awake all evening studying the Zoha studying Kabbalah and why this tradition began a thousand years ago or fifteen years ago because the aspect of Miron is already mentioned in the Sephiroth of the Ari that Rabbi Chaim Bital said I witnessed the Ari this is now over four hundred years ago visiting with uh visiting with Rabbi Shimon on Lagboom to be together with Rabishimon on that evening to be up all night and study because Rabishimon says that is what one should do on Shivuar. And obviously there is some connection and the connection is that Shivot is tonight on another level on another level on a much higher level and I say higher a more intensified level it is like the seed and the trunk of a tree. The seed is more subtle more sublime but nevertheless far more powerful than the trunk itself. So before we begin the actual experiential I shall read a paragraph of the Haidra Zuta Kadisha now also for the benefit and and i it just to really give you the feeling is the feeling I want to share with you of how Jews can get together. I just completed the tape and I I guess the time came. Now this experiential is for people who don't know how to read Hebrew come on I mean you know you feel left out don't you read along comes the modern rabbi says read it in English you read it in English you made no connection and oh not partial not eighty percent not two percent none the connection is the alabet the alabet and that's it so you close up your English prayer books and present every Jew and even maybe the non-Jew who wants to pray won't stop him who are we to stop him and you know what he's gonna do with that prayer book that he can't read he's gonna scan it did you ever go into a department store or a supermarket and I don't have a bottle of soda I wish I did. You know some of the some of the items you buy in a supermarket you know they have a little box there with codes you ever notice it and so ah here it is thank you Aitan here it is see that little box there you know why it's there see the clerk doesn't have to look at what the price is anymore just puts it over a scanner and up comes your price power of scanning does all the trick for you now I know our scientists have convinced us that we are nothing more than robots because who can add multiply like a computer so what are we nothing but according to the Bichimon I guess we needed him to inform us that you know who makes the computers man he still creates that that mechanism now maybe he does think a little better I mean they they're still looking maybe how a computer can maybe create a computer haven't got there yet but anyway scanning you see we believe that a person's mental computer far exceeds any artificial intelligence that will creep up in 6000 years from today and the eye has a purpose you see the eye scans and don't worry the computer takes care of the prices and it takes care of the connections because you scan the words but you've got to know what you're doing so if you scan the Hebrew you see you hear the Hebrew you've made a connection when you hear the English and you scan the English and you cry with the English you haven't made the connection maybe that was that's what went wrong two thousand years. Maybe but something went wrong I mean this I don't you know I don't have to convince any but anyone about something has gone wrong and there must be a dramatic change and maybe this is not it but we must talk change so scanning if it can work on a physical level who knows it may even work on a metaphysical level what came first I always thought thought came first
Zohar Reading
SPEAKER_02so I'm going to read and for your benefit to listen to the words Tana Bahishimon Bayalistal Kamin Al Ma Vahava Masade Milui It can show Kavrayube Rabishimon Vahava Kamehabalazara Bereit again it's repeating that in the day that Rabishimon desired to leave this world he prepared his words I assure you on this one paragraph when Rabishimon writes something you can stay a year on it but we you know for the sake of time we'll have to rush over it Bahava Kamehbalazah Vishakavrai Bhava Malabhita and before him was sitting his son Rabalazah and Rababa Rababa incidentally was the scribe was a scribe and the other members of the group and the house was full full of people it male beitah and suddenly raised his eyes tremendous amount of mysteries in the Tsar we'll discuss it through the evening the Khamadit Malebaitab he saw that the house was full Baha Rabishimon and he began to cry Vama Bismanahra Kadavina Bebe Maray I remember the last time when we were in the first cave the Yadirabah Kamai I remember my father in law Rabbi Pinchas Ben Yah was there Barirana Dukhtai or Ashta and he said that I chose my place this is a long time before he chose his place in together with Rabbi Pinchas Ben Yae in Ganedin in the garden of in the you know in paradise the Katavene Ashar Eishama Kamai and when I returned at that time he was enveloped with flame lo it and that fire obviously not talking about a physical fire but talking about the intensity of of the force the light that surrounded Rebishimon. Incredible This was indeed an incredible man and that fire never left himash elabirushuta and no one could even approach Rebishimon unless Rabishimon gave him permission. Again we will discuss this and now I see that the fire has ceased for beta now the house is full of people everyone everyone wanted to be near Rabishimon and everyone was there Adahava Yatfein while he was sitting patak in Rabhishimon and he opened up his eyes Vihama and he saw whatever he saw Baskal Esha Babeta and the house was again surrounded by fire Vinathka kulhu and everyone had a leave and Rabalazah his son remained with Rabbi Abba Bisha Kavrai Yatva and everyone else remain seated outside for those who will not uh remain with us throughout the evening I will conclude I've read you the first part and then we will conclude the Idrazutta for those who cannot remain throughout uh so that you've captured everything from beginning to end.
The Counting of The Omer
SPEAKER_02And now we will uh begin with the um with the counting of the Omah and uh yes may I ask because this will be again now a service and since we are not Orthodox Reform the conservative and we want to make real connections we must have positive and negative separate. The women will do their job hopefully create that negativity but negativity is a requirement before you can get any light in that boat.
SPEAKER_04So it's not negative in a sense bad evil it's when you can join together positive and negative then you have a circular right so I'm going to ask the uh the uh positive energy intelligence and I didn't create the sperm in the male I mean it's not my doing so you know don't blame me for it so I will ask the positive energy intelligences represented by male bodies to step forward and the negative energy intelligence to be on the other side towards the rear with the world of metaphysics go to five aduna melee the famishay Anatomy Lati Bitasir Surama Hasa Venu Navati bord of shuty babsham but sendal sidakamidam.
