Our Parsha this Holy Shabbos is Parashas Noach and the Haftorah which makes reference to Noach and the Parsha is in Yeshayahu Isaiah 54 : 1 - 10 for Sephardim and Isaiah 54 : 1 - 55 : 5 for Ashkenazim . The Parsha begins by mentioning the offspring of Noach , who were Shem then Cham and Yafes . Though Yafes is the oldest , Shem is mentioned first , as the holiest of the three sons , in Torah , the next would have been Yafes and then Cham , but Cham is mentioned in between , who was punished to serve the other brothers . The Parsha starts out by telling us that Noach was an " Ish Tzaddik Tamim Hayah Bedorosaiv " - " Righteous man , perfect in his generations " and our Rabbis give different interpretations to this . On the one hand , Noach is looked upon as standing out in his very bad generation , as the one who was righteous and perfect , unlike those around him and in this interpretation , he is looked upon with great holiness and courage as standing against a whole world and still remaining holy unlike those around him who had walked away from HaShem , perpetrating violence and thievery , but not Noach , who remained apart from them and stood against the wave of negativity of his time and so was he , as a single family , left to be the ones remaining from all those others who perished in the Mabul Flood . The other Rabbinical opinion is one of being not as righteous as he might have been and this opinion states that he was righteous ( only ) ( with ) in his own generation , for this opinion makes out that had he lived at the time of Avraham , he would not have appeared so righteous in comparison . Where HaShem Says to Avraham , Walk before me and be perfect , here in this Sedra , HaShem Tells us that Noach walked with G-D . This alone can have various interpretations that can go along with both Rabbinical opinions . On one hand , HaShem Asks Avraham to Walk before Him , for Avraham is very holy And HaShem Gives the holy ones great kavod , where Noach has to only walk side by side with HaShem . For the other opinion , Avraham could have been asked to walk before HaShem as a sign of love to Avraham , where Noach could walk alongside HaShem as a friend . But what ever opinion one chooses , one should never judge one generation with another , for each generation brings its own tests and levels to climb . Thus one should not compare one man to another in holiness , for what Noach did , to stand against an entire World against him , is truly an act of love for HaShem and certainly deserving of walking alongside HaShem in loving friendship and togetherness and at one of purpose and intention for how humanity should behave with strict holiness and morality . Could any of us be like Noach and stand against an entire World . Doubtful . What courage and holy moral love of HaShem , that certainly takes and that Noach must have had . Torah Informs us that the Earth had become corrupted for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the Earth . Corrupted , for people had become very Violent - Chamas ( in Hebrew ) , similar to how people behave today actually and they would rob each other of even the minutest things , just to show to be within the law of what constitutes limits to robbery . The ones who judged also became corrupt and when robbing goes so far as to rob ' illegally ' in an apparent legal yet illegal way and those in charge go along with it , like what happened in Sodom and Amorah ( Gomorrah ) , this is a break up of the very moral fiber of civilization and society . Such a generation thus does not deserve to continue , for it only gets worse for even those who are still there to uphold and enforce the Law , no longer do and that is a show of hopeless break up of society. HaShem Mentions how all flesh had corrupted itself . This also refers to the immoral acts that took place between humans and animals and also between two different species , which was forbidden , For HaShem Had Warned That each is to stay with its own kind . This generation of the Mabul had reached a point of no return and only holy Noach and his holy wife Naamah ( descendant of Kayin ) and their three sons and their son's wives were worthy to be in the Ark . HaShem Appears to Noach and tells him to build a Teivah - An Ark with three levels and a window which some believe was a precious stone And That HaShem Will Destroy all that are outside of the Ark . The same word Teivah , appears in reference to the Teivah - Basket , made to save Moshe as a baby in Miztrayim , when it was put upon the Nile , showing a spiritual link between Moshe and Noach . Both holy men . HaShem Saw To it that the non Kosher Animals would come to Noach on the Ark two pairs each and the Kosher Animals , seven pairs each , Noach would need to bring himself . The building of the Ark took 120 years , a long time , so that people might question Noach about it and he might try to bring the people around , telling them of the deluge to come and that they must return to HaShem . Interesting again , how Moshe lived till 120 . Also very interesting how Moshe spent 40 years pleading for the people and this Parsha mentions About HaShem Sending rain for 40 days and 40 nights while Noach and his family would be in the Ark . No wonder our Rabbonim put forward the idea that Moshe's Neshoma was the same as Noach , where as if Moshe was needing to make up for pleading for the people when Noach needed to do more of that . Both were put in a " Teivah " - " Ark / Basket " on the water And Were Saved . Both were very holy men . Noach didn't make as much effort as he should in trying to change his generation , not that he did not try with a few people , but not like Avraham , who made it his life work to bring people to HaShem . This could be one of the reasons Why HaShem Said To Noach , " Asei Lecha Teivat " - " Make for yourself an Ark , " For HaShem May Have Been Trying To Hint That he needs to be more open to others and not just his own family , in saving their Neshomas . We see HaShem Say similar words To Avraham , in the next Parsha " Lech Lecha , " - " Go for yourself " , for Avraham , who did differently , spent his life doing for HaShem and not just for his own family , constantly bringing people to HaShem . We see that Moshe was also asked to make a Tabernacle That HaShem Can Let His Shechinah Dwell Within . This Is The Way Of HaShem and this is how we are to be , totally giving beyond our own surroundings , to go out into the World and make it a World Where HaShem Can Dwell Among us . HaShem Had Before This , Sent Warning floods and other disasters To Wake the people up , but , like what happens in our present time , people ignored it and still do . Even when the time of the Mabul came , Noach was not totally sure That HaShem Would Go Through With It . We note that a seven day delay is mentioned and this refers to that Noach sat Shiva for Metushelach , who had just past away . HaShem Himself Had To Shut Noach and the family Into the Ark , for Noach still hoped it would pass , but it did not and after many arduous years of work , for which the animals too helped carry while lions sat guard over Noach and his family , the Mabul began . Forty Days and Forty Nights was the rain upon the Earth . HaShem Brought flood waters of heat from below from Gehinnom and masses of water from Above . All died , except Og ( the giant , descendent of the Nephilim fallen angel mixing with the daughters of men - where Og was finally killed in Moshe's time ) , for whom Noach had made a platform for him outside the Ark with a cover and Noach fed him too . This was the Og who later tried to get Sarah for himself , by trying to entice Avraham into war . This was the same Og who , at Yitzchak's weaning , thought to himself that he could crush Yitzchak within his fingers and from that moment on , Did HaShem Decree That this Giant Og , descended from the Nephillim , would fall by a descendant of Yitzchak , who was Moshe Rabbeinu . The people outside tried to climb to higher ground , but the water massed higher and higher and all were drowned . The evil people that died , died with their bodies leaving and their souls still in anger and these became Mazikin Demons . The animals in the Ark had to have constant attention and feeding , for different animals have different feeding patterns . Once in feeding , Noach ran a bit late in feeding the Lion , for Noach was so busy and the lion took a claw scratch at him . After many days , Noach noticed that one of the birds looked completely starved and was sitting very quietly and humbly , hardly showing itself and Noach realized that it had not been fed in a long time . Noach asked the bird why it had not alerted him for feeding and the bird said it had seen that Noach was so busy that it did not want to be a bother and thus was prepared to hurt its own self than trouble Noach . For this action , HaShem Blessed the bird and it became what we today know as the mystical bird the Phoenix , that rises again , For HaShem Had Blessed it With continual life in reward for its action , to be prepared to lose its life for Noach's sake . So the family of Noach was kept very busy . HaShem Commanded that all pairs and couples on the Ark were not to be together sexually , but two disobeyed and these were Cham ( Noach's son ) and the kelev , the dog . HaShem Remembered Noach and all that were in the Ark , which means That HaShem Was Ready To Let the Mabul period end and on the 17th of the Seventh month , the Ark came to rest on the Mountains of Ararat , one of the tallest mountains in that region near modern day Iraq . Noach first sent the raven but it returned and had a negative thought that Noach wanted its mate . So it did not want to go anymore . How totally wrong of it . Noach then sent out the dove but it too returned for the water had not totally subsided yet . Noach waited another seven days and sent out the dove again and this time it returned with an olive leaf in its mouth . Olive leaves are usually a bit bitter and according to Rashi , it was saying , better a bit of bitterness From HaShem's Hand then food from man . Some of our Rabbonim even think the olive leaf may have come from Gan Eiden or even Israel . All were Commanded to leave the Ark and as soon as that happened , Noach made korbanos And HaShem Shows His Upset At man And Assures That there will never be another full World flood And HaShem Placed His Kashes - Rainbow Bow as a sign that there will never be another Full World Flood . The Bow faces upwards , to show HaShem's Mercy That He Points His Arrow Away From us . But with the Rainbow we are to remember that at such a time as it appears , HaShem Is Showing us His Displeasure With us . Within the word " Kashti " - " My Bow , " is the word ' Kasheh , ' which means ' Hard , ' Showing How Hard HaShem Tries To Have Mercy With us day after day . So started the seasons at that time . Noach walked out into an empty World and he was depressed and so planted Vineyards with the thought to make wine . Satan came to him and showed him three animals and when Noach asked what these are about , Satan allied it with the results of drinking , for the first drink , one becomes like a monkey jumping around , then if one continues to drink one becomes like a lion , bold and aggressive and if one continues to drink even more, one becomes like a pig , rolling in the dirt . During one of the occasions that Noach had too much to drink , his son Cham saw his own Father undressed and having drunk over much . Cham first saw his Father's nakedness and should have turned his gaze away from his Father's nakedness , but did not and told his two brothers " Bachutz " - " Outside . " This word " Bachutz " - " Outside " refers to that Cham spoke and slandered his Father Outside , in other words loudly that others could hear . Shem and Yafes walked backwards , so as to respect their Father and covered him . Because Shem was the main one who wanted to cover his Father , so also do we Jews , as one reason , Get Blessed with wearing Tzitzis , for we are descended from Shem , who was Melchitzeddek in Avraham's time . Noach's son Cham had a son called Canaan , referred to as his own son , but it was Cham's son Canaan . According to Ramban , Canaan was Cham's firstborn son . This would mean that Canaan was conceived at a time That Was Forbidden By HaShem for couples to be together in that way sexually in the Ark and so was he the result of sin and the negativity that follows it . Canaan did not want Noach to have any more offspring and according to a number of opinions , came and castrated his own Grandfather . According to other opinions , he raped his own Grandfather . Noach cursed him , to have to serve his brothers . Noach passed away at the age of 950 . The Torah then gives the descendants of the three sons of Noach and it is from these that the 70 nations of the World came . All at the time were of one language Ivrit Hebrew . We note how one of the nations that are to fight at the End of Days , Magog , descends from Yafes . When mentioning Cham's descendants , we note how , when referring to Cush , the first 5 sons are mentioned and then separately is Nimrod mentioned separately as a son of Cush . One of the reasons that Nimrod is mentioned as a separate son , is That HaShem Wanted To Specifically Point Out That Nimrod had human parents , though he had everyone believing otherwise , for he told people he was a deity . The name Nimrod , has within it Marad , which refers to Rebelling , for it was Nimrod who caused the People in his time , to rebel against HaShem . He had gotten the special garments That Were Originally Made By HaShem For Adam , When Adam and Chava Were Forced To Leave The Garden . These Garments were passed down to Adam's son Shais and down the line to Noach and Cham , who stole them and so did Nimrod acquire them , for this garment would subdue animals and so , did Nimrod give the false idea to others that he was a Mighty Hunter . HaShem Calls him Might Hunter before HaShem , for Nimrod wanted to get all people to literally hunt Hashem and remove Him , Chas Ve Shalom and so , when Nimrod started to build the Tower of Bavel , he had a sword put on the top so as to point upwards as a defiant attack on HaShem . It was from Cham that Egypt Mitzrayim came and also the Pelishtim Philistines from where modern day Greece came . From Canaan , son of Cham , came the nations That HaShem Wanted Destroyed in Canaan . From Shem , down the line , came Eiver , who ensured to be Eiver - On the other side - Away of those that did not want to follow HaShem , for Eiver , followed HaShem and his line stayed away from idol worshippers . It was through his line down the line from Shem , that Avram descended and so were we known as Ivrim , - Jews - Those on HaShem's Side , The Other side of and away from idolatry that the rest of the World followed then , as do some now . It was at this time when Nimrod instituted the building of the city and Tower of Bavel , that Avraham was 48 years old and refused to take part even though people taunted him and wanted him to help , for he was a tall strong man and the bricks were heavy . The one difference That HaShem Did Not Completely Destroy the Generation of the Dispersal ( Bavel ) Like HaShem Did in Destroying the Generation of the Mabul - Flood , was because at least in the project of the building of the Tower of Babel , the people at least had peace with each other . Many sadly tried to push HaShem away . The people at the time believed in the idea that every 1656 years , the World has a flood , thus trying to push away HaShem's Providence and so it was decided that they would build a tower to reach Heaven and thus avoid another flood . Also some led by Nimrod wanted to wage war against HaShem . They feared being dispersed And So Did HaShem Make that one of their punishments - being dispersed . In Bereshis Yud Alef Beis ( Genesis 11 : 1 ) Torah Says " Vayehi B'nas'am MiKedem " - " And it came to pass when they migrated from the East , " the word " MiKedem " - " East " can have a deeper meaning for according to Rabbi Shimon , when people migrated from " Kedem " the letters of the word " Kedem " can also refer to " Kadmono shel Olam " ( KDM ) " The Primordial And Principal One " In Whom everyone believed - HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He ( Kabbalah Online Chabad ) . So according to the Zohar 1 , 74b , " They abandoned their belief in G-D to worship idols . " HaShem Came Down With a host of 70 Angels ( Midrash Says Bereishis - Rabbi Weissman ) so as to show and teach us that even the Leader need confer with His generals . HaShem Noticed how a falling man in this tower building project had no value , but a falling brick , people would mourn over . HaShem Felt their ingratitude And So Came Down To Judge the sons of man . The Tower was immense . It had stairs for going up on its eastern side and stairs for going down on its western side . Its structure was built to last and atop , Nimrod set an idol with sword in hand pointing upwards . The Tower was so tall that a man walking in its shadow , would have to walk for three days before finally coming out of its shadow . Its top was sometimes covered in low cloud and its bottom was so very wide that it could take a long time to walk around it . Its top could not be seen from the bottom and its bottom could not be seen from its top . HaShem Punished them In Three Different Ways . Firstly the ones who wanted to rebel and attack HaShem , faced lighting and fire and destruction . The ones who wanted to make a place for themselves and worship idols , were turned into monkeys and those that joined the rest of the project , had their language and dialects confounded so that they could not understand each other . If one would ask for a hammer , the other would not understand and give him a brick . Fighting broke out between them and many were killed . The builders of the Tower were dispersed and went different places in their own language . Thus was their coming together to sin , punished by them separating . So was the Tower called Bavel for the word refers to Confounding of the Language and so were they scattered over the Earth . And what of the Tower ? The bottom third was swallowed by the Earth and the top third was struck and destroyed by lighting bolts and fire , leaving only the middle part that remained , which was still very tall . After this , The Holy Torah gives the line from Shem to Avraham , another ten generations like the ten generations from Adam to Noach . The Father of Avram was Terach , who begot Avram , Nahor and Haran ( from whom was born Lot , Avram's Nephew ) . Nimrod had set himself up as a ruler and had built a massive palace . All who came to him , had to ensure that they would be physically lower than him in his presence . Terach , Avram's Father was his viceroy at the time . The astrologers warned Nimrod that a baby was just born who would topple Nimrod and show Nimrod up as not being a deity . Nimrod was informed that this would be the son of Terach and so , did Nimrod tell Terach to bring his new child to be killed . Terach requested Nimrod to not kill his son but Nimrod threatened Terach's whole family that they would be burnt if Terach did not listen and so , did Terach request three days to prepare his family for the giving up of his newborn Avram . Terach , instead took another boy , the son of a slave woman that served him and gave it to Nimrod as his own . Terach was not sure that this would be enough and so , Avram was put in a cave at three years old and it was then , that Avram , being a lover of Astronomy even at that age , that he noticed how the Sun ( that was believed to be a deity at the time ) went away and was replaced by the Moon ( also believed to be a deity ) and so they could not be deities , as they both were overcome by the other . Avram watched the natural happenings of nature and realized that there must be A Divine And Beautiful Intelligence Behind this all and so , did Avram find HaShem . HaShem Had Waited twenty generations For this holy soul to come . Many years later , Avram left the cave and was more open with his inner thoughts and started even at a young age to try to get people to leave their false beliefs and follow HaShem Only . Terach his Father had a shop that sold idols . Avram constantly tried to get through to his Father , but his Father would not listen . One day , Avram was put in charge of his Father's shop . Avram's Mother had made a special food and Avram decided to leave it in front of one of the idols to prove that they cannot eat , as they are but stone and wood . His Father still would not change then . So when his Father left him in the shop , a woman walked in requesting an idol and Avram asked her how she can buy something that is so not alive that it won't and can't even eat a meal . Another man came in and said that he wanted an idol for protection as his idols were robbed and Avram pointed out to him that the idols won't ever protect anyone as they can't even protect themselves from being stolen . Another elderly man came in and showed interest in a newly made idol . Avraham said to him , ' How can you follow something that is so much younger than you and that was just made yesterday . ' So did Avraham go out of his way to do away with idolworship. So did Avraham go out of his was to teach about HaShem The One And Only True Creator In this World . Avram had had enough of these idols and one day while his Father was out , he took a big hammer and smashed all the idols but one , the largest one and when his Father returned and saw the destruction , he asked his son what had happened . His son answered and said that he had brought food for them and put it in front of one of the idols and the big one got jealous and took a hammer and smashed all the others and Avram said that if his Father doesn't believe him , he can go look and see the hammer still in the hands of the biggest idol . Terach was furious and told his son that is impossible as the idols are not alive and so did Avram say then , ' How can you sell and trick people with these idols and believe in them . ' Terach felt obligated to report this incident to Nimrod , who had also heard about it and realized now that this was the son he was supposed to have brought to kill . Nimrod called Avram and at the same time , was Haran , Avram's brother , there too in front of Nimrod . Avram refused to bow lower than Nimrod . As one entered Nimrod's place , there was an idol of Nimrod and no one was allowed to be taller than it , but Avram stood up erect for he was a very tall man . When Avram entered , Nimrod got off his throne and lowered himself so that all in front of him had to go even lower , as was his law , but Avram refused and still stood erect . Avram was not shy and spoke loudly of HaShem Shaddai As Maker of the Heavens and Earth and all of Creation . Nimrod told Avram that he is standing before a deity and Avram responded that if he is divine , let him prove that he can make the sun rise and set in the opposite direction from where it sets . Nimrod knew he was beaten and so did he have Avram put in prison . It was here , that Avram met his beloved Servant Eliezer , for Eliezer was Nimrod's son . HaShem Brought these two holy men together And Saved Avram , even in the prison , for Nimrod had not wanted to give Avram even food And HaShem Sent His Angels to feed Avram . Eliezer was most interested in Avram And In HaShem The One And Only and fully believed in Avram and his G-D . Eliezer became totally faithful to HaShem and would visit Avram in the prison and learn from him and also bring him food . Eliezer left with Avram when they all left Ur Kasdim and totally turned his back on his idol worshiping father Nimrod , so as to totally follow HaShem . A very holy man was Eliezer and very very beloved to Avram . Nimrod had a furnace built , hotter than any other and so was the place called Ur Kasdim - Ur The Fire Furnace of the Chaldees . Avram had to watch this furnace being built and when the time came , they planned to throw Avram in it . HaShem Sent an Angel To Save Avram and he walked out unscathed . They asked Haran , Avram's brother, what he believes and when and only when he saw that Avram escaped unharmed , did he say he also believes as Avram ( not in full faith but only because of what he had just seen ) and so was Haran burnt in the Furnace in front of Terach his Father , as the Torah portion says Haran died in the lifetime of Terach his Father . Avram and Nahor his brother took themselves wives . Avram married Yiscah who was Sarai and Nahor married Milcah , both were daughters of Avram's brother Haran . Things became very dangerous for Terach and Avram and so did they all leave Ur Kasdim for Canaan and when they settled in Haran , Terach years later passed away at 205 , when Yitzchak ( Avram's son ) was already 35 years old . Terach realized the truth before he passed on and so , in Haran , the part of him that was not following HaShem , ended ( died ) in Haran , for what happened to Avram being saved and Haran being burnt for having no Emunah Faith and Trust in HaShem , woke Terach up to the truth . So ends the Parsha . So here we have three different men . Noach , Avraham and Nimrod . With these different men , so can we see the choices in life we are faced with and their results . To live a life like Nimrod , to totally turn away from HaShem , Chas Ve Shalom and fight HaShem every step of the way and think of being deified , lands one in Gehinnom and set for destruction which is exactly what happened to Nimrod who faced a fate of death at the Spiritual hands of the very holy man Avram that he wanted to kill , for he ( Avraham ) faced the big battle with the four kings against five in Avram's time . To live a life like Noach that starts out righteous and must continue so , leads one with a base of a good beginning , but this is not enough for one must do for all and not just for ones own family . To live a life of and like Avraham , is how HaShem Would Like us to be . We are here to bring HaShem's Light to all the dark corners of this World . To live each day as Avraham did , in total service of HaShem and to ensure very importantly that we are to bring up our children in the way of our Fore-Fathers , even today , that our children continue in the path of Torah as deep and full as Moshe taught us . That is the way to live . Not to be like Nimrod , who seeks only to serve himself and be served , for Nimrod was unlike Noach and Avraham who both were only seeking to serve our Creator and like Avraham , looking always to the welfare of others , to bring them closer to The Shechinah Of HaShem and even if the people they were trying to save were not the best people , like Sodom and Amorah ( Gomorrah ) Admah and Zeboiim , to still speak for them and try to save them By HaShem , as Avraham did . That Is The Path To HaShem . That Is The Path To Peace . That Is The Path To The End Of Days . That Is The Path To HaShem's Light And Love . What we choose , is who we are and who we are , is what we choose , so always must we choose and be As HaShem Is . For to emulate HaShem , is to define ourselves As HaShem Wants us to be . We are to be a Light to the Nations and a Light to all around us . That Light that we must carry in love , we must make ourselves worthy to carry. The Light Of HaShem . To Light up this World , is to fulfill our destiny , a destiny That HaShem Set For us all at Creation . So go out into the World around you and fulfill your destiny That HaShem Has Set For you . Be as Avram and make every moment last an eternity , by bringing this World and all around you , to The Light Of HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish HaShem With Everlasting And Deepest Forever Love , A Very Beautiful And Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Eternal And Most Special Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , the children of the holy Noach and holy Naamah , a Very Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh with love .

This Shabbos Parsha is Parashas Bereishis , where we return to the Beginning of The Holy Torah again and start reading anew . The Haftorah for this Parsha is in Yeshayahu Isaiah 42:5-43:10 and from the very first words of the Haftorah which states " So Said The G-D , HaShem , Who Creates The Heavens and Stretches Them Forth , Spreads Out the Earth and what grows from it , Gives a soul To the people upon it , and a spirit To those who walk on it , " we can see why it is the Haftorah that goes with the Creation , with which our Parsha this Shabbos begins . HaShem Dictated The Holy Torah To Moshe , who wrote it down exactly As HaShem Instructed , holding within it all the Secrets of The Creation . The Beginning of The Holy Torah Starts with a large Hebrew Letter Beis , To Show That HaShem , The Alef , Is Before all and Creates all , HaShem Made The " Beis , " which in Hebrew also means " House , " for HaShem Made Creation and all that is in it , as if it is to be a House For HaShem and thus , we all are to work to make HaShem's Creation into a ' House ' Into Which HaShem , With us , Can Dwell . Within the word " Bereishis , " are many secrets within the letters That HaShem Used . HaShem Created the Hebrew Alphabet , With Which HaShem Made all things At The Beginning Of This Creation . The Letters in the Word " Bereishis can also spell " Rosh Beis , " For HaShem Is The Rosh - Head Of His House Of Creation . Also within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Yireh Shabbat , " - " Fear and See the Shabbos , " for Shabbos is HaShem's Eternal Creation which was and will again be the destination of Creation . Also within the Letters of " Bereishis , " the Letters also form the Word " Bara'ta , and the letters Shin and Yud , " where " Bara'ta , " means " And He ( HaShem ) Made " and the Letters Shin and Yud , which are Gematrically 310 , thus the Secret that shows that this is not the First Creation , for " HaShem Made 310 . " Also within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Brit Eish / Ish " which means " HaShem's Covenant with Man " and also " HaShem's Covenant with Fire , " for as our Sages tell us , HaShem Created The Holy Torah and wrote it ( The Original Torah which is With HaShem ) with Black Fire on White Fire . HaShem Also Made A Covenant With us Jews to Keep His Torah , for one who keeps HaShem's Torah , is Truly a holy person and all people should follow HaShem's Commandments . Also , within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Borei Shtei , " which means , " And He ( HaShem ) Created Two , " which is a reference to The Two Parts to The Holy Torah of The Written Torah - ' She Be Michtav ' and the Oral Torah ' She Be Al Peh , " Showing that both are part of The Torah , Given By HaShem To Moshe Rabbeinu . Also the Two That HaShem Made , refers to the Two first beings of Adam Ve Chavah . Also , that most Creatures on Earth have a Male and a Female and the union of both in Holiness brings us to the One Creator HaShem , for both man and woman work together to bring each other to holiness , working together to lift each other up in learning and work for holiness . HaShem Fore-Saw the Aveirah that people would do and Thus HaShem Created , right at the Beginning , the solution to this in Mashiach , related to the number seven Gematrically . We see this in the first verse , which has Seven Hebrew Words in it . Also , within the first word " Bereishis , " are the words " Borei Sheis , " - " Created Shais , " where Shais was the third Son of Adam and Chavah , the first one conceived out of the Garden of Eiden and so will thus return as Mashiach , the first one who will lead us back in , at the End Of Days . The Secrets here are Endless and so are the Beautiful Sparks within each Hebrew Word Of The Holy Torah Of HaShem . With Ten Pronouncements Did HaShem Create Creation , As Did HaShem Renew His Covenant On Har Sinai With His Jewish People Israel , In Ten Pronouncements . We note the word " Barah , " in the first verse which is like ' Borei , ' which appears in Brochas we say over things we partake of , showing us how each time we make a Brocha , we are Blessing HaShem's Creation , as well as the article we are Blessing , that was Created at the Beginning of Creation . HaShem Created all things in Six Days and this is a reference to the 6000 years of time that we are in right now till Moshiach , unless he comes early . HaShem First Said in the first verse , That He Created the Heavens ( plural for there are Seven levels of Heaven Shamayim ) and the Earth . So any article we Bless now , waited all this time to finally have it's spiritual essence return to HaShem And HaShem Knew even then , each and every bite we will take . We must thus always acknowledge HaShem The One And Only Creator , In All Things . We note that at first , the Earth was " Tohu Va Vohu ' - " Empty and Without Form , " For HaShem Had Not Yet Put Himself Or His Divine Presence Within it , For It Hovered Above . Being " Tohu Va Vohu , " - " Empty and without Form , " shows that all was within it yet it was Empty for it had not taken form yet , showing how all of us only become fulfilled , when we fulfill our destinies in following HaShem , HaShem's Shechinah Can Reside With us and then are we filled with HaShem's Love , for this is what we are meant to fulfill and only then do we have our intended Holy Form . When HaShem Said " Yehi Ohr , " - " Let there be Light , " HaShem All Giving Gave Too Much Light And Had To Retract Some Of That Original Light , For It Was Too Holy And Bright , So That It Could Be Kept For The End Of Days And Some Of This Light Filters Down To us Every Shabbos , For It Is The Light Of Eternal Shabbos . Thus All was in the Original Darkness ( which itself was also a Creation ) showing that all was there as potential and needs to grow and release the true reality of the Light Within . HaShem Separated the Light and Darkness , for so must we keep a separation of positivity from negativity . So was One Day , which starts in the evening before and so do we Jews start our Hebrew Day at Maariv . It was On The Second Day That HaShem Created a Firmament In the midst of the Waters To Separate Between Water and Water . And so became Shamayim , Heaven , which has within it " Shem Mayim " - ' The Name of HaShem In Sanctified Water . Also Shamayim is a mixture of Eish and Mayim - Fire and Water , two usually opposing forces , But With HaShem , there is peace . So was the Second day . The Third Day , saw the Creation of Earth Dry Land and within, herb yielding seed , fruit trees yielding fruit ( for at first all trees had fruit that was edible , as was the bark and branches ) . Here , at the gathering together of things on this day , HaShem Called it " Good " unlike the Second day , for here peace and togetherness reigned , which is Good , unlike the Separation on the Second Day , Which HaShem Did Not Call good , for peace and not strife , togetherness and not separation , is good . On the Fourth Day Did HaShem Create the luminaries , sun and moon and stars and also some of the Angels , for the Angels were not there at the Beginning , so that none could say others helped with Creation . Only HaShem Created . Only HaShem Is The Creator . On the Fifth Day HaShem Created the Sea Creatures , who Were Given The Command to " P'ru Ur'vu " - " to be " Fruitful and Multiply . " The Sixth Day saw the Creation By HaShem , Of Animals and beasts and birds and like all things , to stick with their own kind . To them too , were they to Be fruitful and Multiply and fill Creation . All were Instructed that only the herbage was for food . HaShem Calls this Day " Very Good " for on it , as these words refer , was the Yetzer Horah Made , to test man and woman so they could grow higher in holiness , overcoming their personal desires , to attain the True Holy Good . On the Seventh Day HaShem Gave the Shabbos , Making It Holier over all others , HaShem's Destination Of Creation . HaShem Only Sent Rain to water the Earth , only after Man was Created and only when and after he prayed for it , for it is up to man to make himself worthy to Have HaShem Bless the Earth with Rain . HaShem Took dust from all the World And Formed Adam and for his head , HaShem Took dust From The Holy Land . Hashem Blew Into his nostrils the soul of Life . HaShem Made a Garden in Eden and placed the man there to the East of Eden . HaShem Gave Man ADaM ( Adam Dovid Moshiach ) the Command to work the Garden , by studying HaShem's Laws and Guard it , from the Yetzer Horah which was the Angel Samael . HaShem Instructed him - Adam , after he was Created with Chava at first together , that they can eat of any tree of the Garden , but or except the Tree in the Midst of the Garden , whose leaves covered the whole Garden , The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad / Evil . Joined to this Tree's root , was also the Tree of Life ( of Eternity ) And HaShem Warned them that they would bring on death into the World if they disobey HaShem . It was Adam who was to name the animals and thus see that man needs a separate mate , in order to grow spiritually and so when Adam was naming the animals , Adam was made to realize that none of them was bone of his bones . The name Adam called each animal in Hebrew ( and he also formed the names of each animal in all the 70 languages of the world ) was prophetic . For example , The Frog in Hebrew is called ' Tzefardeah ' which means ' to fit in ', which is exactly what the frog did in Egypt when it went into the ovens and other things in the Plague of Frogs . HaShem Wanted people to be humble and so can we always be told that even the gnat was Created before we were . So should we always be humble . HaShem Put Adam to sleep on Mount Moriah , the site of the Temple And HaShem Separated Man and Woman and Brought Chava to Adam afterwards , where Adam said the first ever Sheva Brochas at their wedding in Gan Eiden , Where HaShem Was The First Shadchan And Deliverer of the Bride to the Wedding Canopy . Adam was a massively tall man , whose face shone as the sun . The Angels had never seen such a beautiful Creation and some had to be told By HaShem not to worship him . From Adam's Floating Rib was Chava taken , so that we are to remember that man and woman must be side to and by side on equal levels , both to treat each other with mutual respect . They were both " Arum " - " Naked " but were not ashamed , for no negative desires had they taken on yet . They were also both only naked to each other , which suggested only total openness to each other as a married couple , not only physically , but also emotionally sharing their innermost being and feelings . Samael the Angel entered the snake and tried to tempt Chava . We note how the same word " Arum " is used for his " cunning , " showing that how we use things is our choice , for good , or for negativity . He , Samael was cunning , for he knew the " nakedness , the Openness of their thoughts and so knew how to and what would entice . The snake approached Chava and at first questioned her pride , getting her to state more Than HaShem Commanded , for she said that neither can she eat of the Tree , nor touch it . HaShem Never Commanded them not to touch it , but by her addition , she was caught , in adding more Than HaShem Commanded . A lesson to us all , not to Add to or Subtract from The Holy Torah , Which Is Perfect As It Is . All Samael had to do now was push her against the Tree and she was proven wrong that they could touch the Tree . Her reaching her hand up and taking of the Fruit , was now easier an action . In Samael's close physical contact of pushing her , he spiritually raped her and a part of his negativity went into one of the children she was now carrying , Kayin and so did she hint at this when saying she had made a child with a spiritual part . She persuaded her husband Adam to also partake and so , they became ashamed , for now their Yetzer Horah had been triggered within them . HaShem Manifested Himself In The Garden and they hid for they were ashamed at what they had done and felt different and less able to be In HaShem's Closer Presence , as one does feel when one commits an Aveirah , which teaches us that Aveirahs put distance between HaShem and us . When HaShem asked " Ayeka , " - " Where are you ? " HaShem Knew exactly where they were but was giving them an opportunity to own up . Also , this statement meant , Where are you now spiritually on level , for by your action , you are no longer on the same holy level - Madreiga . Each blamed the next and each was punished , the woman with painful childbirth , the man with hard toil , all with the fact that now they would eventually die and the snake , for Loshoning HaShem , to no longer walk upright as before , but to eat dust , like the words he used when he slandered HaShem . They were expelled from the Garden , lest they eat from the Tree of Life and thus would sin be a forever thing and Angels with the ever turning sword , were put to prevent their return . Adam called his wife Chava Eve , where the name Chava is like Chiya which is a snake in Aramaic as a hidden reference to the snake , but in a language ( Aramaic ) that most of the Angels cannot speak ( except the Angel Gavriel ) , thus Adam was secretly using the name of the snake , in order to assist the woman in fighting the Yetzer Horah ( where like fights like and like cleanses like , just like the secrets of the Chok of the Parah Aduma . Her name also has within it the word " Chai " - " Life , " which refers to her being the life ancestor of all the living who come after her . The Unique One referred to in these verses is a reference to Mashiach whose spiritual essence had pre-knowledge of Worlds before . Outside the Garden , Kayin and Hevel who according to Rashi , were born in the Garden before the expulsion , both had different outlooks . Hevel was a spiritual man , while Kayin was a physical man . Both brought offerings to HaShem and while Hevel brought of the best , Kayin brought of the " Mipri Ha Adamah " - " From the fruit of the ground , " which literally meant that he picked up the rotten fruit that had already fallen to the ground as his offering . Hevel's offering Was Accepted , But Kayin's Was Not and Kayin became angry , which causes one's spiritual countenance to be lowered , as does anger . A fight broke out between the brothers , where Kayin tricked Hevel , asking him to divide the portion of the World he wants between the two , either the ground , or all that is above . Knowing that Hevel was a spiritual man , when Hevel chose all that is above ( seeing that it was only the two of them and wives born in tow , which Kayin also fought about ) Kayin then ordered Hevel off the portion that is the ground , telling Hevel that Hevel had now chosen all that is above the ground . A fight ensued and Kayin kept trying to chase Hevel off the land , till they reached a rocky precipice and Kayin wanted to throw him off . Hevel gained the upper hand and wanted to get up and walk away , when Kayin deceitfully came and slew him with a rock on the head and tried to cover it up with earth . The Earth cried out to HaShem , refusing to settle with the murdered Hevel's blood and Kayin was forced to go to Nod as a wanderer , to be killed in the seventh generation . The descendants of Kayin are then given in this Torah Portion and his relative and descendant who was called Naamah , actually became Noach's wife . She was a righteous woman . A descendant of Kayin , Enoch is also metioned as a city builder , which meant in this context and verse , that his generation , was the first to introduce Avodah Zorah Idol Worship to humanity . It started as people then first looked up to the heavenly bodies as marvels of HaShem and then they started to pray to them and build temples and cities around their idols that they put for these false idols . How sad for HaShem , Who Had Given us all A Most Beautiful Creation . During this time , Adam had actually separated from his wife Chava for 130 years after they left the Garden , in order to try and atone for the sin committed . It was after this that Seth Shais was born . This took place when a descendant of Kayin called Lamech , who had two wives , one for childbearing and another for pleasure as it is stated , got angry with Lamech whose son was Tubal-Cain , who used to lead him by the way for Lamech was blind and it happened once that Tubal-Cain shot and killed Kayin by mistake , thinking he was an animal , due to the sign put on Kayin after the murder . Lamech felt very worried that he would be punished and consulted with his wives , who did not want to live with him . He demanded they return and it was suggested they seek advice from Adam , but they told Lamech that Adam had also separated from his wife and should not be giving advice until Adam himself returns to his wife Chavah , which Adam did after the 130 years and so , Shais was born . The descendants of Adam through Seth Shais are then given till Noach , who Found Grace In HaShem's Eyes and part of the curse against the ground was lifted in Noach's honor and so was he called Noach which means Rest and Comfort From HaShem's Decree Against the Earth after being cursed after Adam's and then Kayin's sin . It is interesting that Noach's Father was 777 years old when he passed away , where this number is taken today as a positive number , for the generation after Lamech was Noach , a very holy man , who brought , with his morals , rest and comfort to the Earth . Adam was 930 when he passed away , where he was due to live till 1000 , for Adam gave up 70 years for his distant descendant Dovid Ha Melech who was to die at birth ( Adam Dovid Moshiach ( from whose line ( Dovid ) , Moshiach is due to come ) . Noach was 500 years when he bore three sons Shem , Cham and Yafes . Two Malachim Angels came before HaShem requesting of HaShem To Send them down and they would show how they would not become corrupt , as people had become . HaShem Warned them that they would be tempted and not be able to control themselves when faced with human desires , but they refused to listen and so they came down and when they were down here , they could not control their desires and so they cohabited with the daughters of men and so were born the Nephilim , the Fallen ones , of which Og ( who survived the Flood the Mabul by holding on to the outside of the Ark , where Noach had built for him a platform and little roof cover ) . Also related to these Nephilim , was Sichon . Both Sichon and Og were eventually killed by Moshe , as told in The Holy Torah . Relatives of these Nephilim were also the Giants that the spies who came to spy out Canaan reported seeing , when the sad incident of the spies happened in Moshe's time . HaShem Saw the evil that was done and the theft and Had heartfelt pain at how they behaved and their evil ways and so Decided on the Mabul , the Flood , but Noach , a man righteous in Noach's generation , Found Grace In The Eyes Of HaShem . So ends the Parsha . HaShem Made For us all Such A Beautiful Creation With So Many Special Beautiful Things . Creation is filled with everything that it needs to subsist . Creation is filled with the answer to every ailment and every question that we and all of Creation would ever need . HaShem Saw To Putting Into Creation , the answer to every Aveirah we might make , that would ever affect our World . HaShem Created this all right at Creation . Before HaShem Created Creation , HaShem Planned Every Part Of It . Into His Plan , He Wrote The Answers to all of our Needs . HaShem Looked Into this Plan And Created Creation . This Plan , Was HaShem's Torah Wisdom , HaShem's Holy Torah . HaShem Wrote His Torah two thousand years before HaShem Made Creation and as our Rabbonim tell us , HaShem Looked Into His Torah And Created The World . Only HaShem Truly Owns The World . We become permitted users of the World , when we make our Brachot and so then have permission to eat from and use What HaShem Made . In making our Brachot , we are actually Blessing what ever we are about to partake in or of , That HaShem Created Right At The Beginning Of Bereishis and so , that article , that waited so long to be of service , when we make our Brachot , we take that article's Spiritual Essence and return it on High , where our Brocha gives us permission to partake of it . To not say a Brocha before hand , is to take That Which HaShem Has Made , without permission and this is akin to ' Ganeivah ' - ' Stealing / Theft . ' This is seen in the very word ' Ganav / Geneivah , ' for the word ' Ganav ' has within it , the words ' Gan ' - Meaning ' Garden ' and ' Neveilah ( which is also an animal that died in the field without Kosher Shechitah and thus impure ) , ' - Meaning ' Forbidden / Evil . ' All HaShem Makes , HaShem Put In His Garden and to take , or steal anything without His Permission , which permission we get via the Brocha before and afterwards , from His Garden ( as Creation here bears out how HaShem Made All Things And Put them into His Garden Gan Eiden ) , is to do Evil and take that which is forbidden , till it is Blessed . HaShem Made The Tree of Life and The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil , And HaShem Gave Instructions regarding the Tree of Knowledge . Those Instructions were not obeyed and thus what was forbidden , was taken without HaShem's Permission . HaShem Knows when something can be permitted and when it is forbidden and we are always to trust Him . The result of not listening , took us from Gan Eiden , to struggle and toil and for woman , to have pain in childbirth and the Yetzer Horah was activated and so did Death come into the World . If we look at things From HaShem's Point Of View , HaShem Could Just As Well Have Not Created us all . HaShem Had Peace before we hurt Him . HaShem In His Totally Giving And Kind Ways , Made And Opened Up For us A Beautiful Created World , with all things we need . HaShem Must Have Had Such Hopes And Joy In His Giving , Even Though HaShem Knows the future , HaShem Still Gave us the benefit of the doubt And Gave With Full Love . If we look around us today at all the beautiful things That HaShem Made For us And How He Filled His World , The Love He Must Have Felt For us , Is Totally Astounding . How Sad He Must Have Really Felt , when we so disappointed Him . HaShem's Own Words Certainly Bear This Out , When HaShem Says In Bereishis Genesis 6 : 5 - 6 " HaShem Saw that the wickedness of Man was great upon the Earth , and that every product of the thoughts of his heart was but evil always . And HaShem reconsidered having made Man on earth , and He had heartfelt sadness . " How very sad for HaShem . All these Amazing actions Of His Love In Making A World Ready For man To come And Making man last , As If Preparing the World For man on a platter and then we come and disappoint and hurt Him so deeply . All HaShem Asks of us is to listen to Him and not go our own way , for to listen to HaShem is for our own sake . Thankfully to Noach , this one Tzaddik , Found Grace In The Eyes Of HaShem . How this shows that even one person and his or her obedience and good moral actions to HaShem , shows How Merciful HaShem Actually Is and how one person's holy good actions can save Creation . We should all be that one person . HaShem Created Adam Ve Chava at first joined and had Adam see all the animals and name them . HaShem Has Purpose In All That He Does . HaShem Knew that Adam would want the separation physically from Chava , so that they could afterwards join and become one . But the need for their separation , had its purpose . Rashi points out how this had to be , so that HaShem Alone Is One and Unique . There is not another like HaShem , Who Is One And Who Was Alone When He Made Creation . Thus the need for Adam and Chava to be two , is so important , For Only HaShem Is Oneness and should Humans have had this Oneness , they may have tried to profess themselves deified , Chas Ve Shalom . Only HaShem Is One . Adam and Chava only noticed their physicalities as something to cover , after their Aveirah . Before that , they were not ashamed , for before their Aveirah , the Yezter Horah was not yet awakened within them . Once they sinned , then the negative desire came . Before this , even their coming together , was purely to serve HaShem and did not contain a part for their own personal and selfish gratification . So after the sin , their own Spiritual holy level dropped , so it is so understandable What HaShem Meant , When He Came Looking For them In the Garden And Said " Ayeka " - " Where Are you ? " HaShem Knew Full Well where they were , and was not asking them physically , but Spiritually , where are they now , in Spiritual Level , lower than they were before , as if to make them realize how disobedience leads to a need to then ask oneself after the Aveirah , where Spiritually one has lowered oneself to . Torah Laws are there to help us and keep us higher and higher . Sadly each one , Adam and Chava , named the next one and so were we sent out of Gan Eiden . The dust of Loshon Horah against HaShem , that the snake spoke , resulted in him having that dust as punishment for his food . HaShem Clearly Says about Adam that " It is not good that man be alone ; I will make him a helper corresponding to him . " This is in reference to Chava , whom HaShem Refers To as an " Eizer K'negdo , " literally meaning " A Helpmeet Helpmate Opposite to him . " This might be quite a blow to those males who have a high ego , For HaShem Did Not Make Man as ' the be all and end all ' of the family , But Gave equal status to the woman . The very fact That HaShem Calls Woman , a Helpmeet Helpmate opposite to him , means that she has a right to contradict him when he is wrong . She is not just to be a puppet on a string for him , but to be a true help-mate , in correcting his wrongs ( of course in a respectable way ) and so , lead him higher to holiness . That is the most proper help - mate one can be , to help bring your partner closer every day , to HaShem . The same goes the other way around , so a true Spiritual Marriage , consists of the couple coming together and working together to bring each other back to Holiness and Gan Eiden . Our Rabbonim say figuratively , that it is as if she is to be a helpmate corresponding to him if he is worthy and a helpmate opposing him , if he is unworthy . May all couples find themselves worthy . HaShem Made Creation And HaShem Wants us to make every part of it holy . HaShem Wants us to bring Holiness into every part of It . This can only be done if we keep HaShem's Torah . So HaShem's Creation is a partnership , between HaShem and us . HaShem Made All Things . HaShem Wants us to help complete Creation ( not that HaShem Needs our help , but loves us enough to Give us this opportunity ) by bringing HaShem's Essence into all things , by keeping His Torah and following HaShem Completely . By doing this , we invite HaShem To Live Among us And Be Close to us , thus fulfilling HaShem's Command , of making a place within us and our World , For HaShem To Dwell Within . This Creation Is HaShem's House after all . HaShem Created Creation Also With the word " Bereishis , " which starts and ends with a ' Bet ' and ' Tav , ' which when put together spells the word ' Bait ' - ' House . ' So Creation is like HaShem's House and it is our daily task to invite HaShem Into every part of it , of His House , His Bait . To do that , the middle letters in between the ' Bet ' and ' Tav ' spells the word ' Roshi , ' - ' My Head , ' the holiest part of a human being and if we invite HaShem Into His Bait , His House , His Creation , by doing as He Asks , we become one with HaShem's Mind and so become one with HaShem's purpose For Creation , in following HaShem's Torah , His Mind , His Rosh , His Head so to speak and Creation will reach its final holy destination and Heaven and Earth Will be one , within the Beautiful Mind of HaShem's Oneness . May it be soon in our days , in full appreciation and thanks always due , to all That HaShem Does for us all . Thank you ever so much for Creation And All That You Have Made , HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu , HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish HaShem With Everlasting And Forever Sweetest Eternal Love , A Most Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Most Grateful and Appreciative Love and to all of my fellow Jews and all of Creation , a Most Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .
Sunday, 9 October 2022
This Shabbos is Shabbos Chol Ha Moed Succos , so we read in The Holy Torah about Succos in The Torah Portion and coming up in a few days is Simchas Torah , when we read the last portion of The Holy Torah called Parashas Vezos Haberachah which finishes the Sedras for the year and we straight away start to read HaShem's Holy Torah from the Beginning , returning to Parashas Bereishis . When Succos ends , HaShem Requests Of us to celebrate another Yom Tov separate from Succos called Shemini Atzeres on which we pray to HaShem for Rain . We note that throughout the Succos Festival, 70 Parim Bulls form the Korbanos and this number is representative of the 70 nations of the World , so we Jews are also praying for the nations to be forgiven and to come to HaShem . HaShem Says To us that seeing as we also gave our Succos Yom Tov for the sake of not only ourselves , but to also pray for the other nations , HaShem Tells us That He Wants To Give us an extra day Yom Tov just for us so that we , who are HaShem's Special guests , can spend it in closeness with HaShem and so , this is one of the reasons That HaShem Gave us Shemini Atzeres , The Holy Eighth Day Feast . We note that on this day Yom Tov , only one 'Par' 'Bull' is mentioned , thus representing us Jews Israel As HaShem's Close Nation , who follow HaShem Only and Faithfully . This is very representative of Mashiach, where after the number 7 for the Seven Days of Succos , on that next number Eight that takes us into the World To Come Olam Habah , so is Shemini Atzeres ( where the Hebrew word Shemoneh means Eight ) and certainly a day to make Prayers For HaShem's Rain to Water the Earth And From HaShem , Bring the Earth Blessings . In the Beginning , HaShem Created The World , but did not yet send Rain till Adam Asked for it to water the Earth and so , is the Blessing to Nourish the Earth , dependent From HaShem , on our behaviour and obedience to HaShem . The Succos Festival is very much linked to Water and Brochas Blessings of nourishment for Creation and we used to show this on this Festival , by the Water Drawing Ceremony that was performed at this time and also the Willow Branches as a part of the Arba'a Minim Four Species of Lulav and Esrog, that we wave during Succos , for the Willow Branches often grow near a Water Source and the Willow Tree needs plenty of Water for Nourishment , just like , or representative of our Jewish People , that survive By HaShem , if we constantly Delve Deeply into Torah , our Holy Spiritual Nourishment . Succos is a Yom Tov Festival and time where we leave our permanent dwellings and reside in the Succah , Reminiscent of The Clouds of Glory That HaShem Surrounded us with in the Wilderness . Here we have the very Way things should be , that we are to put our total trust and faith In HaShem To Watch Over us and so , can we dwell in our Succahs ( which is our reminder of the Clouds of Glory ) , In Total Faith Of HaShem's Care . The Clouds of Glory Were Given By HaShem in honor of Aharon Ha Kohein and the High Priest is reminiscent of Yom Kippur and the Day of Atonement , of which is Shemini Atzeres , on which also , a single bull was mentioned as a Chatas , just like on Shemini Atzeres , which shows that Yom Kippur is linked to Shemini Atzeres , we as The Chosen people Of HaShem , spend closeness with HaShem . During this time , as I mentioned , we finish reading Devarim , the Last Book of the Torah and start the Torah again from the Beginning of the First Book of Bereishis . In days of old , we used to complete the Torah Reading in three years , but we now complete the Torah Sedras in a year , straight away beginning anew , Just As HaShem Makes every day new For us To Help us improve ourselves . HaShem Is Creating Every Second , For If HaShem Would Stop , even for a short while , Creation would cease to be , So HaShem Creates All The Time . Torah Is Never Ending and so , each time we read The Holy Torah , new insights show themselves , For HaShem's Knowledge And Wisdom Is Far Beyond Infinite . We , during these days , complete the book of Devarim Deuteronomy and so , read the last Sedra that Moshe was Given and wrote , which as I mentioned , is called Parashas " Vezos Haberachah " - " And this is the Blessing . " In this Sedra , Moshe , before his return back to HaShem , gives his final blessing to the Tribes of Israel . Before Yaakov returned to HaShem , he too Blessed the Tribes . We note that in this Sedra of Vezos Haberacha , the words start with the Hebrew word " Vezos " - " And this ." How interesting that also when Yaakov was Blessing his sons the Tribes , we find there , in Bereishis Genesis 49:28 that there too , the word " Vezos " - " And this , " also appears . This shows , that Yaakov's Blessings are not separate from Moshe's Blessings to the Tribes , but in fact , Moshe's Blessings are actually a continuation of Yaakov's Blessings and thus are one . We also note that Moshe , when introducing the Torah in Devarim 4:44 , he also uses the word " Vezos , " in the verse , which says , " Vezos HaTorah Asher Sam Moshe Lifnei Bnei Yisrael , " - " This is the Torah/Teaching that Moshe placed before the Children of Israel , " a verse that we are familiar with that we say on Shabbos in reference to The Torah . So , the Blessings of the Tribes by Yaakov and Moshe are very much interlinked , with the Torah itself , for it is by our closeness to The Holy Torah , that our Tribes of Israel will earn deserved Blessings . We know How HaShem Offered The Holy Torah to other nations and how they turned Him down and how we accepted it , saying " We will do and we will listen , " - accepting it to do , before knowing what it included and thus showing trust in HaShem and obedience to HaShem's Will , unlike the other nations and this is one of the things HaShem Loves us for and Keeps us in His Special Place close to Him . We note in this Sedra That HaShem First Offered it to others , for it clearly says How HaShem Had Come To Sinai where we were Given The Holy Torah , after shining forth first from Seir , where It was first offered to Eisav , who did not accept It as The Holy Torah Forbids Killing And Also How HaShem Had Also First Gone To Mount Paran , where Ishmael and his people dwelt and they did not want to accept It due to the forbidding of Ganav Theft . This is all in the second verse of this Sedra of Vezos Haberacha . It was us Jews who stood at the foot of Sinai to receive HaShem's Torah That HaShem Gave With His Eternal Love . Moshe then continues to Bless the Tribes . Moshe Blesses Reuvein to live and not die , as a protection for them being one of the first at the forefront of battle to conquer the Holy Land under Yehoshua Joshua . Moshe Blessed Yehudah and its kings and even refers to Dovid Hamelech who was forced to flee from Shaul and so return safely And That HaShem Should Always Help Against his enemies . Moshe Blesses Levi for the Priesthood and to be Holy Torah Teachers to Israel . Moshe Blesses Binyamin and refers to him and his Tribe as HaShem's Beloved , for Binyamin never committed an Aveirah and was not part of the sin against Yosef , that the other brothers perpetrated on Yosef . Moshe refers to Binyamin as HaShem's Shechinah " Resting between his shoulders , " and this refers To HaShem's Shechinah In The Holy Temple , for the Temple would rest in Binyamin's portion . Binyamin , besides being a most holy and pure man , would also let his Father rest supporting Yaakov on his shoulders as an assist to walk and so , would Binyamin now be rewarded with having HaShem's Shechinah in the Beis Ha Mikdash , " between his ( Binyamin's Portion ) shoulders . " Moshe's Blessing to Yosef 's Tribe is in reference to Yosef's purity and modesty in keeping away from Zulaicha , the wife of Potifera and also a Blessing to Yehoshua , descended from Yosef , as a Blessing for strength over other nations , especially the ones in Canaan , that would be Yehoshua's next task to , With HaShem's Help , Conquer . Moshe Blessed Zevulun and Yissaschar together for they both worked with each other , for while the one was busy with commerce to support both , it is for the purpose that the other may have time to study and so , both would get the Kavod of each other's efforts . Moshe Blessed Gad with strength for Gad was to also be in the forefront of battle for Canaan . Moshe Blessed Dan too with strength , for Dan's portion would be near the border of Israel and so Dan would need to be strong to defend Israel's border . Moshe Blessed Naphtali with favour at the Sea , for so would be Naphtali's portion in Israel near the Sea . Moshe Blessed Asher to be pleasing to his brothers , and this was also in reference to the women of the Tribe of Asher who were blessed with spiritual beauty to be wives to Kohanim Gedolim and others who build up Israel and also that members of this Tribe would " dip his feet in oil , " in reference to the olive trees in his portion and the Anointing Oil of Sacred Avodah tasks by the Kohanim , who got their Oil from the Tribe of Asher From HaShem . Moshe then Blesses the borders of Israel and Praises HaShem . HaShem Then Calls Moshe And Tells Him That his time has come to return to HaShem . Moshe bids farewell to the Tribes and ascends the Plains of Moav To Har Nevo . HaShem Showed Moshe All The Land , The Holy Land That Is To Be Kept Holy And Pure According To HaShem And HaShem's Torah , For All Time , That HaShem Swore To Avraham And To Yitzchak And To Yaakov . The Angel of Death was not able to take Moshe's Soul And Only HaShem With A Divine Kiss Brought Moshe Back To HaShem , As The Holy Torah Says Here , " Al Pi HaShem " - " By The Mouth Of HaShem . " ( Devarim 34:5 ) . The Angels Michael , Gavriel and Zagzagael prepared Moshe And Only Then Did HaShem Take Moshe's Soul . Michael is the Angel of the Jewish people . Gavriel is the Angel of Strength that often played a role in the growing and saving of our people and the Angel that destroyed Sodom and Amorah , Admah and Zeboiim , and the Angel Zagzagael is the Angel that is known as The Angel of The Torah , that often taught Torah to Moshe and this Angel is one of the highest Angels Close To HaShem , sometimes known as the Angel Metatron , that often Spoke For HaShem , even to Avraham at the Akeidah , an Angel of pure holy fire , that our holy Sages say , may have once been Enoch , who went to Heaven early , as mentioned in The Book of Bereishis and that might have been made into an Angel . Torah tells us that Moshe was buried in the land of Moav opposite Beth - Peor and his grave is no where to be found , so that no one would try and idolize him and that other nations would not be able to put up their pagan shrines near him . The place of his burial was chosen for a reason . The sin of the generation that were enticed by Moav to sin , was a very big sin and while Moshe was alive , the negative force that came about due to this sin was kept at bay while Moshe lived . Now that Moshe passed , his place of burial in this exact spot , would still stand to keep this negative entity at bay from hurting Israel . Our Rabbonim tell us That HaShem Told Moshe that he would awaken at the End of Days , to lead the generation of the Wilderness into Israel . The Children of Israel mourned for Moshe for 30 days . Moshe passed away to the exact day he was born , to the exact hour and minute at the age of 120 . Yehoshuah found the loss of Moshe very hard And HaShem Had to Tell him To Continue With his tasks now as leader , For HaShem Told him That He too would miss Moshe as a man , for who now would pray for the forgiveness of Israel as Moshe continually did . The nation of Israel obeyed Yehoshuah and Yehoshuah , who mourned Moshe almost like a Father that Moshe was like to him and his beloved Teacher . Torah tells us that there never was and never will be another Prophet like Moshe , Whom HaShem Knew Face To Face , for Moshe had reached the 50th Gate of Wisdom and Holiness and his strength was unabated and his holiness , gained by holy deeds of obedience to HaShem . So ends the Book of Devarim and the Five Books of Moses. The Holy Torah Starts And Ends With A Giving , Where HaShem Gives us Creation , as mentioned in Bereishis And Here Ends In Devarim , With All The Giving Of HaShem To Israel In HaShem Saving Israel . So must we be , every day , to start and end our day with an action of giving for HaShem . Moshe Warranted HaShem To Take Moshe's Soul Personally , for Moshe had busied himself with Yosef's coffin , while others were collecting things from the Egyptians , just before they left Egypt . Moshe , the holiest of men , Was Saved From the Nile By HaShem and so was his name Moshe which referred to his being drawn out of the water . Here again , do we have reference to water , like I mentioned in my words before , that the Yom Tov Festival of Succos also has links to water . Moshe's holiness and beauty of spirit is unmatched by any other human being . His love for HaShem and his people is like no other . His total selflessness is like no one else ever was . Even at the time of his passing , his only main and beloved concern , was for HaShem and his people Israel . No man was ever like him and never will be . He lived his whole existence for HaShem and his people . He was born totally pure and circumcised and already spoke to HaShem when he was 3 months old . He never acted like a prince in Egypt , even though he could have , seeing that he was brought up by the daughter of Pharaoh , who became known as Batya ( which means daughter of HaShem ) , for she converted to Judaism . Yet Avigdor Moshe as a baby would not suckle from anyone but his own Mother Yochaved and followed closely the teachings of his own Father Amram . Moshe never acted as a prince of Egypt , but went out to his own brothers in the brick pits and saved even those of his own who were against him . Moshe never strayed from HaShem and never would let a single sheep get lost , but cared always for each and every sheep under his care , ( as he did for every Jew ) , when he worked for Yisro who became his Father-In-Law , for we learn that once a sheep went astray and travelled far away from the flock . Moshe would not go away and just leave it and so he travelled far to reach it and when he did , he said , 'Come my little one , stray not from the others , be not alone ' and Moshe lifted it up and carried it gently and compassionately upon his shoulders , taking the burden upon himself . Said HaShem Who Saw This sight , " Such a gentle holy man should look after My Flock The Jewish People , for he would not even let one of them go astray and would carry them ever so gently back to Me . " Moshe's pleadings to enter the Holy Land in Parashas Va'eschanan show that within the Gematriah of this word , Moshe pleaded 515 times to enter the Holy Land . This 515 times covers each and every Jew till the year 6093 , the year of The End of Days , when Mashiach is due . We get this from the date of Moshe's passing in Adar 2488 , to which we add 515 times the amount of 7 year Sabbatical years which comes to 3605 years to which we add the number 2488 , the year of Moshe's passing and we get the year 6093 , the final year of Mashiach . Thus Moshe prayed for us till the End of Days . Even though we angered him and were partly responsible for the happening at the rock , Moshe never held any anger towards us but still cared only for HaShem and us , before he passed on . We owe Moshe so much and we did not even pray to HaShem Not To Take him , yet Moshe constantly prayed for us to be forgiven . So I will end my Parsha post , asking all of us to do as Moshe did for us constantly , to pray for his Neshoma and ask That HaShem Continually Bless him And Watch Over him And Shower him Constantly And forever With Brochas And Sweet Love Always . For The Sake Of HaShem and Moshe , let us all make this year a year to come closer to HaShem And His Torah and to go out of our way to Keep All The Commandments And Mitzvos Of HaShem and to live For HaShem As HaShem Wants us To Live . Let us all make this a year that all will drop false wrong beliefs and that we will all study Torah And Follow Only HaShem's Torah And HaShem's Laws . We owe this To HaShem In HaShem's Creation , For It Is Because Of HaShem That All Of Creation Lives And Breathes And Exists . Let us all from now on , this Year , do it All HaShem's Way and make this World , A Place For HaShem To Dwell Among us In HaShem's Love . Wishing Most Beloved HaShem With Pure And Total Eternal And Forever Love , A Beautiful Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Pure And Eternal Love And A Holy Sweet Beautiful Yom Tov Chag Succot Sameach With Pure And Sweet Love and to all of my fellow Jews , a Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh and Holy Yom Tov Chag Succot Sameach with love and to all of Creation , Shabbos Peace . May Olam Habah Come Soon In our days With Beloved HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He .
Sunday, 2 October 2022
Our Parsha this Shabbos just before Succos and just after Yom Kippur is Parashas Ha'azinu . This Song in the Sedra of Ha'azinu was told to K'lal Yisroel on the last day of Moshe's life . This song is one of seven that is of Holy Origin mentioned by our sages . The first song was sung by Adam when he experienced the first Shabbos and the Psalm of Shabbos in Tehillim is from him . The next one , the second one , was sung at the Yam Suf after we Jews were saved . The third one is this song of Ha'azinu , given by Moshe . Then came the one of Yehoshuah , the fourth one , about the defeat of the 31 kings of K'na'an . The fifth song was the song of Devorah in the book of Shoftim and the sixth song is our Haftorah for this portion , which is found in II Shmuel 22:1-51 and is the song of David , which is related to our Parsha , as it is also a Shir A Song ( Orthodox Union Rabbi Leibtag ). The seventh Song will be sung in Mashiach's Time , may it come soon in our days ( Midrash Says Devarim by Rabbi Weissman ). This song of Moshe has within it the past , present and future , all in one , where past behaviours are referred to and also the present as well as the future of what is to come . The first part of the Song that goes up to the part of HaShem Being The Rock , has 40 words in it and is a reference to the 40 days and 40 nights that Moshe spent up on Har Sinai . Moshe starts out the Song , calling on Heaven and Earth as Witnesses , for they will be there long after Moshe has passed on and thus can be witnesses to our behaviour as well as being tools in HaShem Punishing us Or Rewarding us for how we act . Moshe asks that his teaching - the Written Torah drop like rain on us and his utterance - the Oral Torah flow like dew . Rain penetrates and is stronger , whereas dew falls on us gently and is taken in also emotionally , as the Oral Torah - our Mishna and Gemorrah need be taken in . Moshe has accepted HaShem's Judgement on him and so , calls HaShem , Who Is Always Perfect , 'The Rock ' in reference to the Rock that Moshe struck ( So Moshe is saying that HaShem's Judgement on him is Perfect ) , which brought about his judgement . Moshe reminds us that if we sin , the blame is totally ours and that it is to HaShem that we are hurting and sinning to . Moshe reminds us That HaShem Created Creation For a people that will keep His Torah and this is what the Jews are to do , for all people are numbered by the Children Of Israel . Yaakov was part of 70 people who came to Egypt and so , are there 70 nations in the World . HaShem Was " Like an Eagle that arouses its nest and hovers over its young spreading its wings and taking them carrying them on its pinions . " HaShem Refers To Himself as an Eagle that is very protective of its young Just As HaShem Is Protective Of The Jewish people and just as when an Eagle comes down to its young , it hovers first , so as not to scare or arouse its young , So Does HaShem Come Down To us gently And Protectively . HaShem Also Uses the analogy of an Eagle , as an Eagle does something that other birds do not do . When carrying its young , it always carries its young on its back while flying , so as to keep itself as a barrier between its young and anything below that might hurt its young . So Does HaShem Protect And Cover us . Moshe Tells us How HaShem Is One and there is no other . Moshe again brings up the analogy of the " honey from a stone and oil from a flinty rock , " showing understanding again and acceptance to HaShem's Judgement Of Moshe's actions at the rock . Moshe talks of the future at a time when the Jewish people will be known also as Yeshurun , with the word ' Yashar ' meaning ' Straight ' within it , which is thus a name we will have in reference to our holy , straight upright ways as we follow HaShem's Torah . Moshe's Song then speaks of the Aveirahs we will do and how we will in the future sadly follow Avodah Zorah And How HaShem Will Then Send nations against us that will wake us up to who we are . HaShem Will Then Send Punishments Against us And HaShem Uses the terminology of " My arrows shall I Use up against them , " which can also be looked upon as a positive thing , For HaShem Is Also Saying That HaShem Will Use up All His Arrows and we will still survive , For HaShem Won't Ever Destroy us Completely . HaShem Will Send negativities Against us and Mazikim Demons , that cannot be persuaded against meting out punishment And HaShem Will Scatter us And Send us Into Galus Exile , which again is not only a bad thing , for in spreading us out , so we will survive when some nations will go against us . The Nations that attack us , won't realize at the time , That It Is Only By HaShem , that they can attack us , for they have no power of their own . Whenever we stray , Chas Ve Shalom , we will face punishment . If we do not keep Eretz Yisroel , As HaShem Wants us to , Then Punishment Will Be the deserved result . Moshe quotes HaShem in saying , That HaShem Is HaShem And That HaShem Is The Only G-D And Creator - that there is no other . HaShem Makes It Clear in this Song , How HaShem Will At The End , punish those who hurt us Jews , intoxicating His Arrows with blood And His Sword Will devour flesh , because of all those through history who caused us Jews death and to bleed and kept us captive . HaShem Will " return vengeance On His enemies , " those that went against and hurt His Jewish people who kept His Laws , as only we Jews did , while other nations went their own way, following other beliefs that were not of G-D . HaShem Directly States , " He Will Bring Retribution upon His foes and He Will Appease His Land [ ( Israel ) , " from being attacked by those who want to throw Jews out from there , Chas Ve Shalom and His People ( Jews ) , who have been maligned , murdered and tortured through the centuries , just for being Jewish and for being the only ones truly following HaShem And His Laws . Moshe finishes the Song and warns us to take heed of it and to follow and perform all the words of this Torah , which is our life and will prolong our days . It was when Moshe was finished speaking , That HaShem Commanded Moshe to ascend this Mount of Avarim Mount Nevo and see the Land of Canaan That HaShem Was Giving us as an inheritance . The view that Moshe saw of the Land was beyond the view of a human being , for Moshe saw a view of the land that was unprescedented and a view that was from on high , a view that was also totally spiritual , a view that we as human beings could not imagine , a view as sweet as Gan Eiden Itself , for Moshe saw the physicality of the Land as it was , as it is then and as it will be in times to come , a vision and view of Eretz Yisroel , As HaShem Intended it to look , as a Garden in Eden , for Moshe had reached such a high and lofty , pure and holy level , that he was able to view Eretz Yisroel , the way HaShem Intended it , at Creation , to be . No wonder Moshe could not enter it in his physicality , for he had reached a level of holiness that allowed him to be in the Sublime Presence of the Shechinah Of HaShem And HaShem Saw a more broader view of Israel in its future holy time, just as Moshe now could perceive a more true view of just how Holy , Eretz Yisroel can be . So ends this Parsha . This Parsha that is called " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear " is A Command To the Heavens and the Earth . When Moshe asked or rather politely commanded the Heavens to " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear " and the " Earth to hear the words " of Moshe's mouth , they wondered at this human being giving them orders , but Moshe had reached such a lofty level , That HaShem Had them obey Moshe , For HaShem Made us to be partners in His Creation and when we reach a very high level of holiness , HaShem Wants us to ensure that His Creation bends to HaShem's Will , so when we do As HaShem Commands , we are thus becoming one With HaShem's Intention For Creation and so we can work properly with the rest of Creation to help lead the rest of Creation to Emulate HaShem's Beautiful Way . The reference to ' Hearing ' and using of the Ears , in this Song , is for a very specific reason . Hearing with the ears is the start of obeying HaShem . The ears are not there on the sides of our head to just look nice . HaShem Made them to be as close to our thinking and acting brain as possible , so the ' Hearing ' Of HaShem , can go straight to the brain , which must command obedience to what is heard . It is the organ That HaShem Created to start us obeying . But the ears , right now , can only listen to HaShem , if they tune out from the body's own personal wants and tune into HaShem . Interesting then is the fact that the ears face outwards , where we can get direction From HaShem on how to behave . We have two ears , just like there are many twos in Creation and this calls upon us to take extra heed . Just as Heaven and Earth ( Two ) are mentioned , so do we have two ears , to listen to HaShem's Command through both . Heaven and Earth play a role in Creation , where we use one of them to work toward the other . We use Earth and what it contains to help ourselves build ourselves up to Heaven . Earth comes with its many physical tests and desires and if we can get the Earth part of ourselves to work toward fulfilling HaShem's Commands , then we can be Blessed with the result of Heaven . That is a case where Heaven and Earth work together to bring about a positive result in the person . But if we let the Earth part of us stray from HaShem , Chas Ve Shalom , then we become more Earth physically bound and lose the Reward Of HaShem That He Would Give us from Heaven . So , two places , as Moshe chose to be our long lasting witnesses , are there for us and with them , two choices always show themselves - to choose G-D or to choose our own wishes . The choice of our own wishes leads nowhere , but the choice of HaShem's Wish , leads to HaShem and His Intended Wish for Creation . So to choose wisely , we must first tune out of ourselves and really listen to HaShem . HaShem Is Always in Communication with us . We just have to tune out from ourselves and " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear . " We can choose to continue to listen to the beat of the Earth's physicality and look downwards and be pulled away from holiness and HaShem's Commands , Chas Ve Shalom , or we can choose to constantly look upward and work our way up to Heaven . That ' Two , ' is constantly appearing . The choice of which of the Two we choose , is our own choice , but what ever it is we choose , the choice comes with either a Blessing or a Curse , that we ourselves bring upon ourselves if we do not listen to HaShem . The term " Ha'azinu , " is active , for it translates as " Give Ear . " In other words , we must not just sit back and listen to what comes along physically speaking , but we must take an active role in giving our ear , a holy pathway to pursue . We must not just wait and let the Yetzer Horah overcome us . We must get up and actively ' give our listening , ' to Holy Ways , to HaShem . HaShem Speaks to us through time . His Voice cannot be stopped by any part of His Creation , For His Voice Is Too Powerful . I have said this before , That HaShem's Voice Has No Echo , for nothing can stop His Voice Waves from penetrating any mass . Thus HaShem , When He Speaks , Even When It Was A Long Time Ago , That Which He Said , Continues Eternally , for nothing can stand up to His Voice Waves . So if we listen really closely and truly " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear , " we can pick up His Speaking even long ago , as time and space cannot contain Him . So even though our ears are attached to us , we must " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear " To HaShem . Give Him our all . Give Him our very connection through hearing that we have , to connect to the Physical World , and make our lives entirely for HaShem's Purpose . One of the reasons That HaShem Made Heaven and Earth , Was to be a platform for us to grow from and be rewarded by , From HaShem . So Moshe , before his passing , was renewing that order That HaShem Made to Heaven and Earth at the beginning . Thus it was like a renewal of the Covenant HaShem Made With Heaven and Earth . In the very first verse Of HaShem's Holy Torah , HaShem Created the Heavens and the Earth . So now just before Moshe is to leave , Moshe reminds the Heavens and the Earth of their role in Creation , since the beginning . For HaShem Created them with His Attribute of Elokim - Justice . So now that Moshe mentions the Heavens and Earth again , shows how here in this Parsha , the Heavens and the Earth are to act As HaShem's Judges and , being witnesses that are to be the first to mete out the punishment , are to thus exact upon man , HaShem's Judgement . So now that Moshe is leaving us , Creation and our people , are being given an opportunity on our own , to Walk in The Ways Of HaShem and bring about The End of Days , if we do What HaShem Wants . The word " Ha'azinu " comes to 7 Gematrically , Mashiach's number , so ' in heeding ' and " Ha'azinu " - " Giving Ear " To HaShem , we can bring about Moshiach . This is so linked to the Yom Tov of Succos . Pesach has an event that It represents , like the Exodus from Mitzraim . Shavuos , was also the date on which we Jews received The Holy Torah Of HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . But Succos , does not obviously show a specific happening that we celebrate on this Yom Tov , Though the Succah does have reference To HaShem's Clouds Of Glory . I think the reason for that is that Succos , will come to be for an event that is still to come . An event related to Mashiach and The End of Days . To dwell in a Succah , is to be in total trust With HaShem And His Divine Protection As He Gave us His Clouds Of Glory . The Lulav and the Etrog are all brought together as one when we wave them on Succos , just like the different types of Jews , all coming together as one , just as there will be peace between our people in Moshiach's time . The Festival of Succot holds a Holiness that we cannot imagine . It is a time to leave our permanent dwelling and live in a Succah in Trust and Faith Within The Loving Arms Of HaShem . Just like going back to live within Gan Eiden at The End Of Days . That is how it will be in Moshiach's Time . The Time when we will truly listen and " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear " to HaShem . We can all bring on the End of Days right now , if we would all just put our own ways and false beliefs aside and just " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear " and listen To HaShem and do His Will And His Commandments Only . HaShem Desires So Much To Bless us . But it is up to us . The Words Of HaShem Are There In the air . The Wish By HaShem , Is There In the air . The Loving Want Of HaShem Is There In the Air , To Be Close to us . That Is What HaShem So Desires . All we need to do is " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear " To HaShem Only and follow HaShem With all our hearts and souls . Start right now and we can all walk into Gan Eiden Again , Where The Magnificent Sweetness Of HaShem's Voice Beautifies the air . " Ha'azinu " - " Give Ear " To HaShem And HaShem Will Surround And Flower us all With His Love . May It Come soon In Our Days With HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish HaShem With Sweetest And Most Eternal Forever Love , A Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh And Good Yom Tov Chag Succot Sameach With Sweetest And Most Eternal Forever Love and to all of my fellow Jews , a Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Good Yom Tov Chag Succot Sameach with love and to all of Creation , may this World finally be a World of Eternal Shabbos As HaShem Wants It To Be And May It Come Soon In Our Days With The Help Of HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . Shabbat Shalom with love to all .
