Show Notes
Transcript

Ever wondered why the world's most prestigious educational institutions, revered from Cambridge to Yale, may not hold a candle to a 40-year wilderness journey? Allow us to introduce you to an institution of a different kind - the Torah universities, specifically the "University of the Mid-Bar." This episode takes you through this extraordinary expedition, as we uncover the formative practices and profound wisdom bestowed upon the Jewish people. We discuss how these teachings, far removed from typical academics, empowered them to establish a flourishing society in the Holy Land.

But there's more. We also delve deep into a vital lesson that often slips from our grasp: acknowledging the divine source of our sustenance and triumphs. Whether your bread falls from the sky or sprouts from the earth, it's all divine. On the winding road to personal success, it's effortless to lose sight of this truth. Yet, it's crucial to remember that every accomplishment, every inch of progress, springs from the Holy Creator. So, sit back, relax, and let us help you unravel a new perspective on success, its divine origin, and the unparalleled education from the University of the Mid-Bar.

00:00:01.362 --> 00:00:06.791
From Cambridge to Yale, Penn to Harvard, just to name a couple.

00:00:06.791 --> 00:00:28.925
These are some of the great education institutions and sought after universities of the world, those education institutions that will quickly and for a sometimes steep price, help one to advance in his wisdom and to accelerate his career path, so set him up for a good life.

00:00:28.925 --> 00:00:49.253
Help out some of the most prestigious Torah universities, those places that teach the divine and moral law, un-comparable to any institution, but the likes of Valhazan and Mir, and Slabotka and Kelm, the greatest institutions, the greatest educational institutions.

00:00:49.253 --> 00:01:07.421
But perhaps there has been one location, one institution, that has educated the Jewish people even better, and that is none other than the great 40 year mid-bar wilderness, so journeying education institution For the Jewish people.

00:01:07.421 --> 00:01:19.811
They learned all of the formidable practices, the formative practices that would be needed to have a successful society inside of the Holy Land.

00:01:19.811 --> 00:01:34.828
That gave us, at every single step along the way, another period, another class, another education and certain laws of Ruchinius that we should know as we enter into the land to form a happy and fruitful society.

00:01:34.828 --> 00:01:39.971
A 40 year schooling, called Welcome to the University of the Mid-Bar.

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:57.132
And perhaps one of the most important lessons is you will not be a burden to the human being, because all the people of Moetsi will be the bread, the advancement of a person's career in his own memory and his own career path.

00:01:57.132 --> 00:02:01.183
Does a person feed his family, Does he live?

00:02:01.183 --> 00:02:18.448
But all the people of Moetsi in the past told us that it matters not how the bread should come to you, whether it falls from the sky, above a divine allotment of livelihood, or you should enter into the land and how it grows from the ground.

00:02:18.448 --> 00:02:30.790
It matters not if it's from above or below, but it is all divine, it is all a gift from above, and just sometimes the miracle from above happens to grow from the ground from below.

00:02:30.790 --> 00:02:40.586
The divine and moral law and the stark adherence to it will feed your soul and will put bread on the table for you and your families.

00:02:41.520 --> 00:03:02.114
That is one of the vital and crucial lessons, for in perhaps no situation does the knowledge of Hashem's existence fade into the black like the successful accomplishments and the haughty heart and the affluent and the self-absorbed development of one's own wisdom and livelihood.

00:03:02.114 --> 00:03:08.673
For God forbid the knowledge of God that it's all from Hashem can fade to the bisque so quickly.

00:03:08.673 --> 00:03:24.491
It is so imperative that we remember, no matter the advancement, no matter where the parnassah or the revach or the shevach or the increasing of success comes from, it is all divine.

00:03:24.491 --> 00:03:33.627
It always comes from the mouth of the Holy Creator of the world.
