AMAZING Divine Secret Inside Korbanot (Ketoret) Daily Prayer? (15 Min)

0:10One time, Rabotai, I had this chidush a few years ago. Mamash, worth a million dollars a day. I'll give it to you for free. As long as you remember what it says when you read Korbanot. Now, when they made these incense offerings, the Mishnah in Avot, right here, is telling you what's the end product. What's the end product? Smoke came out, reached the sky. It's the sky. Wind comes, nothing changes. Wind comes, nothing changes. So now, what does this mean? What is the actual effect of this? Pillar that we have in Beit HaMikdash. Let's think about it. Who sees it? Who sees this? Three types of people. Three types of people. Smoke came out, reached the sky. It's the sky. Wind comes, nothing changes. Wind comes, nothing changes. So now, what does this mean? What is the actual effect of this? The pillar that we have in Beit HaMikdash. Let's think about it. Who sees it? Who sees this? Three types of people. Three types of people. First guy's in the camp. He's in the desert with everyone else—millions of people in the camp. But you know, sometimes your wife yells at you, the kids don't want to clean the dishes, the rabbi gave you a little bit of mussar you didn't like. Sometimes you have some issues; you got fired, you have some little emunah issues. You have some little emunah issues. It says you look up. Oh...

1:30Hashem is in control. Why? This is 100% a miracle. So you see Hashem at work. It's not like a hidden miracle or a miracle you have to look for. It's mamash a miracle in front of your eyes. There's a wind, there's Irma, the wind over here, and the thing's not moving. It's Hashem at work. Baruch Hashem, you don't have emunah issues anymore. Why? If Hashem can figure out how to get the wind not to touch the smoke here, and it reaches all the way to the sky, when I can barely light the fire for a barbecue, I'm sure Hashem can find me a new job. I'm sure Hashem can teach my kids better mussar. I'm sure Hashem can calm my rabbi down a little bit to tell me he loves me more. I'm sure He can figure those other things out. Baruch Hashem. I'm sorry for having any doubts. That's the first guy. The second guy, the second guy, the second guy saw it. The second guy, when he had the ammunition, he didn't look up. He just left. He's like, "You're just one of these people. We've got so much rage." He said, "To hell with it," and just left. You know, one of those people, they don't want to talk about it. They don't want to talk about this. They run out of the house like a little mouse. They run. Okay, he ran away, but you know, after a while, you run, you get tired. What do you do when you get tired? You look back. How long have I gone?

2:48He's in the mountains already. He's looking back and he sees Am Yisrael in the camps, in the desert. Millions of them. He can't miss it. He sees millions of them over there at the camps. And then he sees the pillar of smoke. He says, "Wow. You know what? Judaism is not just about the Jews. Judaism really is about Hashem and me." Judaism does not depend on the Jewish people. Judaism depends on you and Hashem if you do the will of Hashem. Whether they do it or not is not your problem. Of course, it says, everyone's responsible for each other. But bottom, bottom line, if they are all Rasha'im, they don't want to do anything. They want to wear Avodah Zarah on their head. They want to drive on Shabbat. They want to eat non-kosher. They want to steal. They want to do all these different things. You do teshuva, you're okay. You're okay. He says, I see the pillar and I realize... Whether they do it or not is not your problem. Of course, it says everyone's responsible for each other. But bottom, bottom line, if they are all reshaim, they don't want to do anything. They want to wear avodah zarah on their head. They want to drive on Shabbat. They want to eat non-kosher. They want to steal. They want to do all these different things. You do teshuva, you're okay. You're okay. He says, I see the pillar and I realize,

3:55It's a miracle. What do you mean a miracle? Hashem is in control. He goes back to the camp. So the first guy had emunah issues. You gave him chizuk. The second guy almost left the derech. You did kiruv. You brought him back. He did teshuva. Who's the third guy that sees it? The goyim. they're going, they're going, we're looking far away and always wonder why Hashem does so many miracles for Yisrael. Why does He make them Nobel Prize winners? Why does He make this little country make so much noise? I mean technically they are a statistical error We should never hear about the Jews. This is what, 15, 20 million of them? How many out of 8 billion people? It's not even a rounding error. When you say 8 billion, you don't literally mean 8 billion. It's probably 7.96 billion. So you round off the extra 40 million to just say 8 billion. Meaning that the 20 million is not even a rounding error. You should never hear about any Jew. There are many countries that are much greater in size than Israel. You've never heard of them before.

5:00Every day is in the news, every single day. We're in the news every single day. We're in reports every single day. We achieve something every single day. We do something somebody knows about, and it's reported everywhere. How? The goyim always ask, "Why are they rich? Why are they smart? Why are they this? Why are they so confident?" And then they see the pillar of smoke of the Beit HaMikdash or the Tabernacle. the will of Hashem. They're doing the will of Hashem. Look, we're not doing any smoke. What do we do? We're worshiping an idol, we're worshiping a Buddha, we're worshiping some idiot that died 2,000 years ago. What are we doing, the goyim? What are we doing? Nothing. We're investing into businesses, into money, into material, and doing all of the things that God’s giving us, we're using against Him. The Jews, at least they're doing the will of Hashem. Look, they made smoke, they have a Beit HaMikdash. That's why Hashem does what they want. Hashem gives them reward. So what did you do now? You had emunah with the first guy, kiruv with the second guy, with the goyim, kiddush Hashem. You sanctified Hashem's name. So here we see three good, amazing things from one ma'aseh, from the smoke. That's not the chiddush though. That's just the reality. What's the chiddush? The chiddush is what happens...

6:25When you make a mistake, why does Rabbi Natan and Rabbi Yehuda say, why? Is Hashem saying it's din karet? Karet is one of the 36 worst possible sins you could do on earth. Why? For the same exact consequences. Just the opposite. The Ramban, a”h says when there is A mistake in the incense, it becomes an eish zarah. What is an eish zarah? Foreign fire. What does it mean, foreign fire? Foreign fire means fire, but no smoke. The incense makes a fire. It's a natural thing. You put it on, it makes a fire. No smoke, though. The pillar doesn't reach the sky. Okay, so what? Let's see what happens now. The first guy that had emunah issues because of the kids, because of his wife, because of his rabbi, because of his son, because of this, because of that, and he lost the job and everything else, he looks up, he sees nothing. He looks up, he sees nothing. He was looking for something and he found nothing. The guy is going to go off the derech now.

7:43The guy is going to get worse. He went from bad to worse now. He's going to go off the derech. He's going to go to the mountains now. He's leaving. I've had it. I'm not doing it anymore. It's too much for me. He's done. You just lost the guy. Maybe he's not going to come back. Second guy, he already left. He turns around. He turns around. What does he see? Nothing. He sees the Jews, but he doesn't see Hashem. You didn't see the smoke. You didn't see the miracles. He says, oh yeah, that's why I left. Because of all these people that were doing that and this to me. Good decision. I'm continuing. You lose a Jew forever, Hashem yerachem. Third, third is the goyim. They're going to look up and say, why does Hashem, why does God, why does God make so many miracles for this nation, this little tiny nation, why does He make so many miracles for them? They look up, they also see nothing. And now they say, maybe God's making a mistake, Hashem. Maybe there's no God. Now we went, instead of doing chizuk for emunah...

9:08Kiruv for the Rechokim and Kiddush Hashem in front of the Goyim, we've achieved the exact opposite. Instead of Chizuk, the guy got off. He's gone. Instead of Kiruv, we just now lost a Jew. When you lose a Jew, it's like you destroyed the entire world. And when you have a Chilul Hashem, according to the Torah, a Chilul Hashem, Chayav Mita. Chilul Hashem, death penalty. This is why, Rabotai, Rabbi Natan, Rabbi Yehuda says, you make a mistake with the incense offering, it's the death penalty. Why? You lost a Jew. You made others weaker. There's a consequence, there's an outcome for your actions. It's not that we just care about the ingredients because we're making a shakshuka. Because what you're doing has significance, people are going to see it, people are going to watch it, people depend on it. But instead of doing Kiddush Hashem, all you created was Eish Zarah. You made a foreign fire, not a fire of Am Yisrael. We lost people because of you. We lost the honor of Hashem because of you, and you expect to live? You're lucky that you were even given a chance and...

10:28But once you do such big sins, there's no teshuva. Only teshuva is in a hot place. So, Rabotai, you read this three times a day. Three times a day. When I had this chidush, I mean, when you get a chidush and it sounds right, you get really excited. But you have to double-check. I asked my rabbi, and my rabbi was amazed. He said, "I read it a million times, never had the same thing. Baruch Hashem. Everybody has their own chidush in Shamayim. But I still always had a safek. Who am I to really get a chidush? This was a few years ago. I am still a nobody today. But still, back then, I was less than a nobody. Who am I to get a chidush? No one else. I told my rabbi, 'Somebody else probably said it.' He goes, 'I'm telling you, I checked, no one said it. Is it my chidush?' He goes, 'It's your chidush.' But I always had a doubt. Always had a doubt. Yeah, maybe..." Well, sometimes you get gifts, sometimes you get spoiled. So Hashem apparently liked my chidush. How do I know? He didn't speak to me. I'm not Moshe Rabbeinu, Baruch Hashem. I don't have that job. But He did speak to me in a different way. How?

11:38For the next few days, I'm having this doubt in my mind. Should I say it in public or should I not say it in public? I'm not sure, even though I have the okay of my Rav, even though it agrees with the Chachamim, it agrees with the Ramban, it agrees with the Mishnah, it agrees. It's not contradicting anyone. Still, it's me. Who am I, by the way, to have a Chidush? I go out to do a little shopping for Shabbat for my wife and me and my parents, who were visiting at the time. Witnesses to the story: They were visiting. We had just moved to Florida, maybe six months before that or a few months before that, anyway. While I'm gone, one of my students comes to my house, and he drops off a gift. I come home, and as soon as I get home, my mom says, "Hey, look, Nisan gave this to you." I look at this. Before I even analyze what just happened to me, why is he giving me a gift? I don't need anything. It's a nice picture. It's a nice picture. I asked Nisan, "Nisan, what is it? You dropped this off. What are we going to do with it?" "No, no, it's a gift for you." You know, he's in the moving business. He's in the moving business. Sometimes people leave, they give you stuff they don't want. Or sometimes they leave it behind and you can't reach them. Whatever. Point is that the people that he was moving that day say they don't want this.

13:06Belonged to somebody that died already, or whatever, they didn't want it anymore. If you want, take it. And he's already had this in his truck for months, six, seven months. Meaning before I even moved to Florida. So he thought about me that Friday. He said, "Oh, you know what? Maybe Yaron is going to like this," and decides to give me this. And He says to give it to me. I'm not home. He drops it off. He gives it to my wife and my mom who are in the house, and he leaves. I say, okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Then I go look at what this painting is. Now, this painting is not a normal painting. What is this painting? It's not a painting; it's a drawing of the Beit HaMikdash. But it's not just a drawing of the Beit HaMikdash; there are many drawings of the Beit HaMikdash. The drawing of this Beit HaMikdash is made from words. meaning someone drew the lines, but it's actually words. What are these words? All of the halachot from the Rambam of the Beit HaMikdash. Regarding, okay, this is nice, but we're not finished. What is this specific halacha? What is this specific halacha?

14:20The ketoret, the incense offering, the ketoret, this drawing is all about the ketoret. And you see that everything is in words, except the ketoret is a pillar of gold. You come see it in my house, I look at it, every time I see it, I remember it. It gives me... God bless you. Different part of the story. The point is, rabotai, when Hashem likes your chidush, He'll give you a message.
