TLDRThis session delves into the symbolic meanings of "Our Father," "Our King," and "Our Lover" within a spiritual context, comparing these relationships to familial and sovereign ties. "Our Father" denotes an inherent, natural connection to God, reflecting our origins and roots. A "King" represents authority and sovereignty, requiring voluntary submission and loyalty—a choice. Meanwhile, "Our Lover" or "Spouse" combines the familial and chosen aspects; it's an intimate connection chosen willingly, similar to marriage. The talk further explores how losing and regaining these relationships involves forgetting and remembering their significance, using these analogies as a framework for understanding spiritual connection and repentance. Sin, in this context, is seen as forgetting God, akin to a child forgetting their parent, and repentance involves the act of remembrance.

    The speaker reflects on three aspects of God's relationship with humanity: as a Father, King, and Lover. Each represents different facets of connection. God as a Father indicates an inherent, natural bond, emphasizing that we originate from God just as a child does from a parent. This relationship is unchosen, symbolizing a foundational source. The King represents a chosen allegiance, requiring conscious loyalty and service, different from the natural tie to a parent, indicative of a more transcendent relationship. Lastly, the Lover or Spouse combines these elements, a chosen bond evolving into a familial one through commitment. This discussion lays the groundwork for understanding spiritual dynamics, particularly how one relates to these roles and what it means to lose and regain these connections, especially in the context of repentance and reconciling with God through the metaphoric lens of familial and royal relationships.

  • 00:00:00
    so let's just think about just a little
  • 00:00:01
    bit about just these three words right a
  • 00:00:04
    Our Father our King our
  • 00:00:06
    lover father
  • 00:00:09
    is um very close it's it's it's a
  • 00:00:13
    familiar relation it's a we're born out
  • 00:00:15
    of our father it's like saying God is
  • 00:00:17
    our source God is our root we come from
  • 00:00:20
    God we're born of God we don't choose
  • 00:00:23
    this we're part of him just like a child
  • 00:00:25
    is a part of their parents so our father
  • 00:00:29
    is just our root and it's not something
  • 00:00:31
    we choose it's just we have to
  • 00:00:33
    acknowledge the fact that we didn't come
  • 00:00:34
    from nowhere we didn't create
  • 00:00:36
    ourselves and even in the command one of
  • 00:00:39
    the Ten Commandments honor your father
  • 00:00:41
    and your mother is considered in certain
  • 00:00:44
    way as being a commandment not between
  • 00:00:46
    you and other people but between you and
  • 00:00:48
    God you and Hashem because your parents
  • 00:00:51
    are in a way uh partners with God in
  • 00:00:53
    creating you so the God is himself like
  • 00:00:57
    a father meaning it's uh just this very
  • 00:01:00
    a natural kind of um root that we we
  • 00:01:03
    rooted in God we come out of God and we
  • 00:01:06
    have to just be to to be reminded of
  • 00:01:09
    this to acknowledge this fact a king is
  • 00:01:13
    a totally different picture a king is he
  • 00:01:16
    didn't give birth to me it's not a
  • 00:01:18
    natural
  • 00:01:19
    relationship it's not obvious that I
  • 00:01:22
    need to submit to the king in a way I
  • 00:01:26
    have to choose this I have to a soldier
  • 00:01:29
    joins the king King's Army and he has to
  • 00:01:31
    believe that the king is right he has to
  • 00:01:33
    identify with the King he identifies
  • 00:01:35
    with the flag with the with the with the
  • 00:01:38
    mission with the kingdom there's loyalty
  • 00:01:40
    there's patriotism and you have to
  • 00:01:42
    choose to voluntarily choose to
  • 00:01:46
    join uh the the to to serve this King
  • 00:01:50
    and to do the king's bidding and it's
  • 00:01:52
    not as natural as it is to honor your
  • 00:01:55
    parent you can also not honor your
  • 00:01:57
    parent but it's it's more natural but a
  • 00:02:00
    king is something much more
  • 00:02:02
    distant if we talked about imminence and
  • 00:02:04
    Transcendence now within the two
  • 00:02:05
    masculine figures the father is more
  • 00:02:08
    imminent the the king is more
  • 00:02:11
    Transcendent beautifully
  • 00:02:15
    interestingly the the lover or the
  • 00:02:17
    spouse is in a way a combination cuz
  • 00:02:20
    once again it's a family relationship
  • 00:02:22
    but it's not one that you're born into
  • 00:02:23
    it's when you choose so it's choosing to
  • 00:02:27
    have an intimate connection to Hashem
  • 00:02:31
    right it's you choose it like you choose
  • 00:02:32
    to serve the king to accept the Yoke of
  • 00:02:35
    the king to take upon you the all the
  • 00:02:38
    Yoke of the king the king's commands you
  • 00:02:41
    choose to take upon you the vows of
  • 00:02:43
    marriage and so on but then you become a
  • 00:02:47
    family so it's a bit like the father in
  • 00:02:49
    the sense that it's a family thing now
  • 00:02:51
    and the more you live together the more
  • 00:02:53
    it becomes like uh even sometimes
  • 00:02:55
    stronger than the relationship you have
  • 00:02:56
    with your own parents and you yourself
  • 00:02:59
    become parents
  • 00:03:00
    and on the other hand you don't you're
  • 00:03:01
    not born into it you choose it so just
  • 00:03:03
    just a very sort of General feel for
  • 00:03:06
    those three three
  • 00:03:09
    words now we want to understand them
  • 00:03:13
    more
  • 00:03:14
    specifically what kind
  • 00:03:19
    of um connection to Hashem does each one
  • 00:03:24
    of these images invite us to
  • 00:03:28
    experience and we're going to look at
  • 00:03:30
    this through because the the we started
  • 00:03:33
    with forgive us and pardon us and
  • 00:03:36
    absolve us that we're going to look at
  • 00:03:39
    it through losing that relationship and
  • 00:03:43
    then regaining
  • 00:03:46
    it so what does it mean to to not
  • 00:03:50
    experience God as a father and then come
  • 00:03:52
    back to that feeling what does it mean
  • 00:03:54
    not Experiencing God as a king and then
  • 00:03:56
    coming back to that feeling what does it
  • 00:03:58
    mean not Experiencing God as a partner
  • 00:04:01
    as something intimate as a spouse that
  • 00:04:02
    we're we're partnering together in in
  • 00:04:05
    making sense of this world and and
  • 00:04:07
    trying to to also rectify the world fix
  • 00:04:10
    the world this is a partnership very
  • 00:04:13
    much like a husband and wife but what
  • 00:04:14
    does it mean losing that and coming back
  • 00:04:16
    to
  • 00:04:18
    that so uh let's let's look at the the
  • 00:04:21
    three terms that we have so first we
  • 00:04:25
    have forgive us our father for we have
  • 00:04:28
    sinned
  • 00:04:30
    so what
  • 00:04:32
    is the Hebrew the original Hebrew word
  • 00:04:35
    for sin here
  • 00:04:37
    is the definition of is that it's
  • 00:04:41
    involuntary just like we said that that
  • 00:04:43
    father is something
  • 00:04:45
    involuntary sin is involuntary it's you
  • 00:04:48
    it happens when you when you make a
  • 00:04:51
    mistake when you
  • 00:04:54
    forget and it also it's the root of the
  • 00:04:58
    the verb in Hebrew to miss the
  • 00:05:01
    mark like I throw an arrow and I miss
  • 00:05:04
    the Mark it's called when
  • 00:05:06
    I sinning by definition the specific
  • 00:05:09
    Hebrew term here has to do with uh not
  • 00:05:15
    noticing something forgetting something
  • 00:05:18
    so the connection with the father has to
  • 00:05:21
    do with and that's the most insulting
  • 00:05:23
    thing to a parent and and conversely
  • 00:05:27
    with the opposite is the most important
  • 00:05:30
    thing for a parent is that you don't
  • 00:05:31
    forget your
  • 00:05:32
    parents you grow up you come into you
  • 00:05:35
    move into the world and the tendency is
  • 00:05:38
    to forget your
  • 00:05:40
    parent and you don't think about it so
  • 00:05:42
    much and doing chuva repenting for that
  • 00:05:47
    has to do with remembering remembering
  • 00:05:49
    that's the most more than it is
  • 00:05:51
    important for the parent to be
  • 00:05:54
    obeyed it's important for the parent to
  • 00:05:56
    be remembered I don't care if you if you
  • 00:06:00
    go in a different path but don't
  • 00:06:03
    disconnect be stay in touch with me so
  • 00:06:07
    the Father the parents sometimes they
  • 00:06:08
    want to be like kings and usually it
  • 00:06:11
    passes because the kids don't see them
  • 00:06:13
    as kings so if the kids go a different
  • 00:06:15
    way it's natural it happens all the time
