On some outline form on how to present on the class. A typical one hour slot.

Great vort from the Shem Mishmuel - this is good for what were doing - the oneness class is about a vort from Shem Mishmuel from the seven fat cows that come out of the nilefollowed by the 7 thin, gives information about Pharoehs dream about what the fat cows did when they came out of the nile. it says they were grazing 'baachu' according to rashi in a swamp - which means somehwer on the bank of the nile there was marshland and thats where they were grazing. by the ugly cows it doesnt give that information, it just says the ugly cows came after them and ate them, but doesnt dsay grazing e.t.c.. the pshat is there was nothing for the ugly cows to graze, because there was a famine, there wasnt anything growing for them to eat, so then they ate the other cows, he points out if you look at the seven grains of corn growing from the stalk, it says they grew on 1 stalk, but by the ugly grain it doesnt describe how they grew, it says the ugly grain grew after them and ate the good ears of grain. why is it we dont get any detail about the ugly cows grazing together, why dont we get any details of the ugly ears of grain growing on one stalk? the implication is they could have grown on multiple stalks, so he says if you watch Rashi, he says Baachu - the beautiful cows graze in the marsh is an AGam - but if look at Targum Onklos - it says when they grazed Baachu it means Baachva - they grazed in brotherhood! So the Targum Onkelos doesnt understand it that they were grazing it in a marsh, who cares where they were grazing, they just care whether they were beautiful or if the ugly cows ate them, he says they grazed in Achva, in brotherhood, thats all the targum says, the Shem Mishmuel explains when you are dealing with the spiritual realm which weve done before - if we do our standard chart - we put Hashem at the top even though he is everywhere and the spiritual realms i9s lots of levels - and  a human being is down there - he says everything comes from hashems infinite oneness - and G-d is all giving - and everything you  find thats negative doesnt come from Hashems essence - its got to be an external way he needs to run his world - in other words Hashems essence is all chesed, and the external layers he hides behind is din, the essence of you is a neshama and the external clothing, body is din - it is Yud Kai Vav Kai is behind everything and you see in the first six days of creation, elokim...elokim..elokim.. that is all the layering of the mask that Hashem hides behind. So if it is good coming from hashem its got to come from very high in the system the Tov Hashem does comes from very high in the spiritual realm beacuse Tov is his essence - so its coming from the essential relationship of G-d to the world - if it is evil or negative or din it cant come from Hashems essence because thats not what Hashem is - Hashem is all good, and therefore whenever you see Hashem punishing or somthing going wrong in the world - it is coming from somthing very low down in the spiritual realm and not G-d - since it is not his essence. e.g. i love my kids, so i want to give them hugs and kisses all day long,  and if i have to punish them for doing somthing wrong thats not coming from the essential me thats coming from the role playing of a father i need to play so that my kids grow up with proper middot , therefore when i say go to your room thats a father playing the role of a father that needs to punish, but deep down inside i would rather not have to do that. Therefore when it comes from Hashems good, his giving , his bracha, which is what the seven years of increased bracha all that plenty of food they are going to get - when it comes from there - the beatiful cows can graze B'achva - in brotherhood - they get along with each other because they are coming close from a place of G-ds oneness and anything that cpomes close from G-ds oneness by essence is capable of unifying and when it comes from Hashems punishment his din like 7 years of famine which is a din on mitzrayim - it is coming from way down low in the spiritual realm and it cannot unify because it is not coming from Hashems oness - therefore the ugly cows couldnt graze together because they didnt know how. It is to negative - thats why the beautiful ears of grain are growing on one stalk - they can achivee oneness - they are coming from Hashems oneness but the ugly grains which are din - cant say they grown on one stalk becuase they dont know how - its coming from disconnection - if you look at this handout - Rabbi Marcus listed sources that things that are negative cannoit connect together and things that are positive can!

Lets take a look at a few of these

upto 11.20 mins

That was the vort from the Shem Mishmuel - very simple - much less wording than he put it - the top board is from one of these sefarim where a Rav from Bnei brak took his favorite vorts from the parshah - his name is Rav Greenberg - has a five volume sefer a lot chassidic vorts - its selected things - there are sfornos, maharals, ibn ezra's and since he doesnt have a seder in those meforshim he has done the work for him - thats where he saw the shem mishmuel - he went in the book and looked where rav greenberg got the vort from - thats the rest - thats where he discussed the top part - R'Marcus here did the work - we can add whatever we want fror it - but the class given is one oneness.

Teh shem Mishmuel is getting insights into the cows and the ears of grain from the midrash - if look at the next page in handout - we see the little vort of shem mishmuel and big vort of shem mishmuel where it comes from - this is the midrash rabba that discusses the cows and the dream and thats where the shem mishmuel is getting it from. the next page 4 - if look at the right hand column of page 4 this is more of the deeper idea of where the shem mishmuel is getting his vort from - where in brackets it is underlined - trying to show -  a nice thing about giving topic well you see where it is from and what the shem mishmuel is going through - and it allows you to say you own this class - you havent used somthing youve ehard, you can answer questions on this. i know background to it - see what you like abouth the shem mishmeuel , e.g. feeding negativity. look at next page - page 5 - it is Parshat Mikeitz iof really going through the class you can undo staple and use it as a first page to show the dream -

on page 6 it has 6 vorts on it - lets go through them.....

In the top source - Shemot chapter 10 - it is based on a chatam sofer - R'Marccus had a class on this - there is chatam sofer that says that by this plague - which is the locusts - G-d didnt tell Moshe what to tell Phareoh is coming - it is a machloket - some opinions says Hashem told moshe but just didnt record in the chumash other opinions said Moshe was allowed to pick this one, and he picked locusts, why did he pick locusts? because moshe knows the 10 plagues correspond to the 10 sayings of creation in reverse order - e.g. Dom versus Adom - Dom thats the first plague , and Adam is the last creation, in Bereishit the first three statements of creations which was Hashem creating somthing beyond himself - expreses out how he wants his future to be ran that is Bereishit is kenneged the killing of the first born which is a persons expresion of how he wants his future to go - Hashem says you are going to mess up my nation i will mess up your future also - so thatsplague 10 corresponding to statement one -

Statement 2 is called 'let there be light' which corresponds to plague 9 which is darkeness - thats easy - and that is a spiritual darkness not physical darkeness.

Plague 8 which is locusts corresponds to statement 3 which is division - remember the theme of the class is one ness , why does Moshe pick Locusts because Moshe knows that a unity where a million things that are getting together to form one unit that is destructive - so you see the Shem Mishmuel that we passed is going to talkj about how each locust is not negative since it is not doing anything wrong - it just eats - but with millions together - the unity it achives is what creates the damage - so for a longer version of this class i say why Moshe picks locusts - and what it represents in unity - since arbeh literally means - i will increase in hebrew - the lashon of locosts - so he says that since Moshe understands the thrid statment of creation is division - this is a destruction based on millions of individual things doing what they are supposed to do - and that creates a unity that is destructive out of millions of seperate things. Thats why this is here - the top source is Moshe picking locusts himself without Hashem telling him, and the next source down is maase Bereishit - where it shows the steps - so Moshe is creating his own plague connected division.

Next, Parshat Mikeits is the dream - a smaller version - below that is Eisav - this is a beautiful vort

Bereishit Chapter 36 - verse 6 - Eisav took his wives his households, his animals , all the wealth he aquired - in land of Canaan and he went to a land because of his briother Yaakov, if look in the Hebrew he circled the little vav - it says 'He took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the NEFASHOT (members of his household) why does the nefashot of Eisav compared to the next source down Bereishit Chapeter 46 verse 27, Yosefs sons were bron in mitzrayim and all of Yaakovs family that came were 70 - he ciricle the '27'  it says ' Nefesh' in the singular - by Yaakov his family is one - So Hashem used the term Nefesh - by Eisavs family who is bad - is called Nefashot - Eisav cant get his family to unify - they are all in the negative - so he has all his nefashot went to Har Sair - by Yaakov it is called Nefesh - One - the 70 peoples are really one person there. That is the 2 pasukim to fine.

The next source on the page is 'Vayichan' when Klal Yisrael was encamping below Har Sinai - is Vayichan in the singular where Rashi says one person one heart - (wasnt sure if it was in his source sheet) , Vayichan in the singular symbolises one person one heart instead of Vayachanu - simple explanation is we were reunified - the deeper idea is that Torah represents G-ds ratzon - that he is infinitly one - Hashem is teraching israel that if you dont all unify - there is no where to put my Torah - my Torah represents my oneness - fi you all arent getting along with each other then my Torah doesnt fit - - but if you can become one then you can fit me and my torah into your midst - but if you wouldnt have got along at Har Sinai you wouldnt have got my Torah - you would have waited till youd learn how we connect - becasue you cant fit oneness into disconnection - oneness fits into unity - thats a depper idea how to achivee oneness - one person one heart by Har sinai

upto 24 mins

Next page, there is the dream with the onkelos which says Vaachvu - they were in achvaa and rashi brings Baachu is Baagam - now at the bottom page 7 in the notes - How did Moshe know that Hashem would send locusts to the eigth plague? so Hashem used moshes voice and that is a chatam sofer and Hashem permitted moshe to decide and that is a chatam sofer - second reference.

Related material - these are other things you can teach and they point to oneness - the beit hamikdash was destroyed through sinat Chinam when we didnt get along with each other G-d left - the shechina left - you need unity to keep the shechina in your midst -

2) The UJA - United Jewish appeal - they used to have posters all over the city that we are one - why? since they were scared that only a small segment of Jewry was giving money - so they ran the ads for we are one - for years - there were different kinds of Jews - with the message that whatever segment of the Jewish communtiy you affiliate with you really should be donating to the UJA since we support everybody - that was a theme that we are one is based on a deep kabbalistic idea - that if we dont achieve oneness -we dont have G-d in our midst.

3) collective responsibility begins in Har Gerizim and Har Eival - we have to become responsible for each other - why? the Maharal says because you cant last in Israel unless you unify since Israel is from G-d, and it all represents his oneness. so if we dont take responsibility for each other we will be not able to stay in Israel - you cant live in Israel andf not get along since to much of G-ds oneness is here to sustain the disconnection -

number 4) shemot chapter 30 pasuk 34, the 11 spices for the incences included one that tasted terrible - page 10 - it is the chelbona - Rashi there spices smell as fowl - you see G-d says you cant bring an incence mixture to me unless the fowl smelling spices are in there, why? because everybody whetehr you get yourself together or not is part of klal yisrael - now just so people dont throw you with a vort that you see... as part of avodat hashem you have to include the people who are not doing what they are supposed to do thats the bad smelling incense - the answer is one second - do the math, you still have to have the kosher minyan - and then you add the eleventh - it sounds like you need 10 thats good smelling since the 11th is bad smelling - but anyway there si the idea - when it comes to avodah i want to hear from everybody.

upto 28.10 mins

In Vayikra chapter 26 - verse 26 it says 5 can persue 100 but 100 can persue 10000 - we all know that vort - we see what unity does - 5 is less than a minyan but once you get unity - it doesnt and the abilities to persue your enemies increase.

Number 6 is Bereishit chapter 11 pasuk 11 - the Tower of Bavel - is oneness and therefore since they unified Hashem didnt destory them he only dispersed them - but by the flood no one could get along with each other so Hashem killed them - so you see - if you unify even for negativity Hashem respects it!

Number 7 is Bereishit 2 - Men and Women were unified then divided and then unified - men and women was created together, G-d seperated them and then gets them to get back together again.

The Number 8 - is megillat Esther - where Haman said we are scattered and disperesed - Haman said there is a certain people scattered and dispersed - why the double lashon - one implies physically dispersed and therefore we will never raise an army to defend ourselves - the other implies we cant get on with each other so the meforshim explain that Haman is already seeing the destruction of the next bet hamikdash - since we cant get along with each other and thats why he says we are no threat to Achashveiroush - not only scattered around but they also dont like each other - and thats why they will be destroyed - then lastly it says science and waht it should say is marching on bridges -this is a fact that every soldier knows that in the army, they are never allowed to march soldiers across a bridge since whenever they march when they get to a bridge they stop - and tell them to break rank and they walk everyone across the bridge once getting to the other side they form amongst ranks and then start marching again - no one marches - since engineers would tell you that if you get 1000 people stepping together you knock the bridge down - it creates harmonics in the structure of the bridge and bridges could fall - so soldiers never march across bridges in groups - thats the idea of unity that creates power. Other ones on the list thats why americans love marching bands , since 100s of people doing the same thing - in america they love it, why? since the Neshama loves seeing unity since it craves a connection with G-d, so if you see a 1000 people all turned together it is a thrill =- tahst why people like scuba divind - if see 10000 fish you see how are they doing that is that the neshama craves the thrill we crave unity - crave relationship with G-d so we like seeing it.

upto 32 mins

Page 14 is the bavel was dispersed but not destroyed because they unfiied -

15 is the earth was of one laguage - which is the unity of the tower.

16 is one flesh - that is husband and wife having a baby.

17 is more on that

You are allowed to add anything you want on unity but it is a class on oneness - what were trying to show is to beginners that we all need to get along and if we get along then that is real power. Now you cant teach a beginer that therefore you cant eat their food and you can eat ours - that will confuse them - there is an idea passed down through judaism that the more things that unify the more similar to G-d we are, the more powerful we are and the more historically things make sense. so positive comes from close to G-d and negative comes from distant and it cant - and therefroe we are trying to have a beginning middle and end on that including your own stories and examples - on the outline we have to tell the Rabbi. If doing a class on unity we should just concentrate on the shechina and the temple or on anything with sources on - my intro will be this to get them excited or set them against me - or i would start with the follwoing story/joke - here about the middle of the class and the great ending - doesnt have to be a great vort it can be a great story a great personal insight - wants the outline - how to do the class.

Could be to any beginning audience.

As an acceptable filler you should show them how you will take apart a four part rashi - that can fill 15 or 20 minutes. Got to get them interested in the beginning, got to develop and then knock them dead at the end.

Never trap yourself in a topic you dont understand! if lost in it pick another topic that suits you better. entertain the audience - that is best idea.

Hashems oneness is what the Shem Mishmuel is teaching us - there is a lot of extra information we dont need - why is Hashem including it? who cares what pharoeh dreamt? fat cows 7 years of plenty - thin cows were seven years of famine - thin eat the fat means you better save up during the eyars of plenty since that is what you will be eating in the eyars of famine. do i need to know they are grazed, stalks??? G-d is telling us this is how the world works, when it comes from my bracha it unifies, when it comes from my din it cant unify - eisav cant bring his family together - yaakov can - good achieves untiy negativity isnt able to achieve unity. The higher you get in the spiritual realm the closer you get to oneness - means things that diversify,l diversify at a distant level - and coming down looking different - since G-d says it hides me - its not coming from my essence - therefore you understand one of the secrets of the universe - its closeness to G-d where the power is - so when we disunify G-d says you dont fit me anymore - up goes the shechina and now we are destroyed in exile.

If you go through the neviim - there are cases in post shlomo hamelech when there was civil war in northern kingdom and southern kingdom - you will see mings who were baalei avodah zara and never lost a war - because everyone got along with each other and then you see kings - who were doing the right thing and got absolutly decimated - since they didnt get along with each other!! That is unbelivable - worshipping idols and G-d protects? yes!! since unity fits him and that is where the power is!! thats why by the arba minim of succot the unity in what you put your body in and put all 4 types of Jews together - cant just wave an etrog because it represents the ideal jew - you have to bring them all together - plus you need to bring all the 70 nations together - there is oness coming - it could be a great class!
