The sin in essence is thinking we are independent of Elokim. Adam and Chavah incorrectly believed HaShem received His power from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, NOTHING is separate from HaShem. He is EVERYTHING. "Shema Yisrael HaShem Elokeinu HaShem Echad. "Echad" illustrates to us, HaShem encompasses all of existence. "Ein Od Milvado" - there is nothing but Him. Choosing actions that are separate from the will of the Kadosh Baruch Hu shows that we think ourselves to be independent of HaShem, i.e., I have my own desires. I am free to choose what I want to do. I exist independently. However, in reality, this is futile. We must understand, our very existence is because the Kadosh Baruch Hu wills it. Therefore, it is our existential duty to follow His precepts, His commands, His Torah.
Sounds good. But your post doesn't answer what the tree is. It seems like the answer is tightly guarded and hidden. Please tell me, or at least guide me in the right direction to figure it out.
Wasn't going to listen tu u, but I did Ask the HOLY Spirit to guide me today, I'm glad I Listened tu the HOLY Spirit! I now subscribe, thank u for this teaching! SHA'LUM!
Learning this in light of these corona days and all the politics and people on the screens lately. It’s really upon us to change and become more loving and generous to ourselves and others
This is amazing. Incredible revelation of the yetzer hara @ the 43:26 minute mark where the yetzer hara takes the wheel, i had a dream years ago of sitting in a red Cadillac and i was in the passenger side and the driver was driving so fast i said, you're going to kill us. And @ the next moment he was crashing the car off of a highway bridge and somehow i grabbed hold of some kind of plank and was holding on for dear life. It felt like i was hundreds of feet up in the air. And when i looked down, there were like 10 people hanging on to me, one by one like a long chain. Somehow i shook them off, but i had no strength to pull myself up the plank to make it back to the highway. Incredible revelation of the yetzer hara.
This is the only opportunity and space where I am able to express how grateful to you and Hashem I am ,for putting me on WhatsApp to be able to learn and share with others . Thank you for all the details . The time you put into what you do for everyone . Truly I have words 😶 to express. Except thank you. 🙏 love and blessings always to you and all that is your. Ein Od Milvado!!!!!!!!!!!! Hashem Echad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Rabbi Anava!🙏🙏🙏 Your ability to impart deep spiritual truths in a challenging and caring way is truly appreciated. I have one selfish request though (and my apologies in advance, I don't mean to offend) - can the comments and questions be held until the end; please and thank you? I find the regular interjections derail my flow of thought as I try to grasp these heavy subjects. I understand that every group has a different dynamic and some are more interactive than others so there is no judgment here and I understand if this is not possible. But, it never hurts to ask😁
Amazing class BH! Ty been missing this Parsha series so much! Where are the rest of the classes on the Zohar series from Bereshit btw? It's mentioned in this video but can't find it neither here nor on the website, only the 1st class was uploaded. Looks like real fascinating learning and can't wait to hear it!
9:00 it just made itself obvious to me how in the modern language it can be named 'gaining self-consciousness' - and from The Text we learn the animals were named before that. Other sources mention the names were given in accordance to 'The Essence' (forgive me I forgot the word). I weakly sense a connection between Adam having an 'exterior' consciousness while being obnoxious of self awareness to be the pre-sin state of human soul. Sort of sensing and knowing of whats going on around him, but not judging, and rather, reflecting (only the good). If that's how it was indeed, a question arises whether the understanding of self in the pre-sin nature could be compared to looking at what had reflected off of you. Looking at your reflections. And don't underatand me wrong, it's not about looking at yourself in the mirror naked. Its about you being the mirror that reflects, and seeing what had been reflected off of you, in everything around you. Now, take it as my 'private' thoughts, because in no means known to me I can prove, and in the case it's not right, consider it's me thinking about mirrors instead of listening to the talk. Sorry in advance! For interrupting the talk.
So, to continue the thought, when the fruit (be it singular or plural) was still hanging at the tree, it also reflected off of us. If what I had said had been the case, of course. Now we know that Chavah had seen the fruit to be 'pretty' before it was eaten and before Their eyes had opened. Given that previously discussed 'method of seeing', could have the reflections of the fruit distort the reflections of the snake? Now more than that. It had been stated by many what had happend after the fruit was eaten. Even in this lecture, you can hear about this analytical process of 'whether I should help that person, or maybe I'm too tired?' type of thing. My point is, had the fruit been already part of the world, did the world undergo a similar process to which we were unattached before we ate from the tree? It is important to know whether the fruit was plural or singular, but since I do not possess the understanding of original text, you could give me a hand with that one. Thank you and be blessed.
@@RabbiAnavaAlon When you reach 'Rabbi Alon Anava' level there's no point going round and round in circles. Rabbi Alon Anava - he stays. Just like he is. Sorry Rabbi Alon if you want to 'be' someone else; you can't. You have to stay just as you are. Forever. Thanks.
The key is they never said sorry for the sin they chose sin and evil like the rabbi said they chose that's why they have to do sin sacrifice it's all about who you listen to only the creator interesting don't you think that eve said she has a man from the Lord so her lord is the devil bug in the world very simple he said evil seed and woman seed Adam was punished for listening to eve and not the creator and things created problem in the world to this day nobody believes what the creator says hope and pray for the only creator to come soon in are time
Just look at the account trees are talking about people good people and bad people to this day to trace are family it's known as family tree that's why the holy one talks about branches and roots all through his holy words in the book good trees and bad trees good people and bad people
All ways remember the holy Lord does not give you bad things you chose to this day people give you drugs and drink guns hate all comes from choosing to believe man and not your holy father who is not a man but the creator of all things good and evil but you have a choice and believe in are holy farther who loves you but didn't want a robot
