להמשיך כל מה שבארץ עד השמים | שפת אמת לפרשת האזינו תרלז | הרב יהושע שפירא

One is called a good bride. We want to learn the year of the Trilz speech, the first one to begin with. Listen, O heavens, and speak, and let the earth hear. Blessed are you, O Lord our God, King of the universe, all things will be in his generation. Amen. For the Torah is rooted in heaven, and thus everything on earth will continue up to heaven. There are two directions here of the speech "Hear the heavens" and ostensibly it is a descent of heaven to the earth, but it is the earth that will hear. When we talk about the earth hearing the words of the mouth, like "Hear the heavens," then in any case we are talking about the earth ascending to be in the level of heaven. This is a sensitive grammar in verse. It could have been understood differently. It was possible to understand that the heavens were the source from which the Torah would come and the earth would receive it. A roof as thick as a meter, which is written later. So the rain comes from the sky and the earth receives it. In fact, because the earth receives from the heavens, it itself becomes to some degree a kind of heaven, even in the parable, because a portion of water that was previously dry is called the Shehartz. Then the earth is dry. If suddenly it is full of water, then in any case there is some kind of heaven in it, there is water within the earth. But in the parable, it is even clearer that the earth will hear, just as the heavens are full of the words of the Torah, so the heavens will hear, so the earth will also be filled with the words of the Torah, because the Torah is rooted in the heavens, and the power of the Torah is so great that it not only teaches about the heavens, but also the earth will extend everything that is on the earth to the heavens. A Jew wakes up in the morning and is stretched out on his bed, takes a tzitzit, takes tefillin, and becomes a celestial being. See all the earth, for the name of the Lord is called upon you, this is heaven on earth by the Torah, this is the power of the Torah, and we have already written in another place, these considerations are interdependent because what a person connects every mitzvah and Torah by the power of the root also spreads down further, meaning there is a movement that you say, the more I am connected up, the more I rise, and then I am disgusted, I emerge from the manipulations of the archers of this world, and I ascend, but I say there is a deeper place, that the more I ascend, everything below is filled with divine light, with the light of the Torah. There is a great rule from the old Rebbe that when you knock down a wall, the stones that are on top of the wall when they fall fall the furthest. The one that goes up the most goes up, when it goes down, it goes down the most goes down. It is written in the books that this is the secret of the chariot in Ezekiel, a way within a way, a way within a way, like the wheels of a chariot, which has an inner wheel that is smaller and a wheel outside it that is larger. The inner wheel doesn't go up that much and doesn't go down that much either. The outer wheel goes up much higher but when it goes down it goes lower. So a mode within a mode is the small mode. That it does not rise and does not fall so much is within the great way when the root is supreme then it also spreads all the way down to the earth is that we can take a gross animal and make it holy of holies is because we adhere to the divine root which is above the division between physicality and sensuality and therefore it spreads in all things equally and equally small and large the power of physics is basically like a spring the more I go up the more the energy you put there can go down much lower yes because the height above and the height below depend on each other and this is that meaning the higher ones it is written about the scholars that the scholars reach a high level so it is written and they will not yield what is further it does not yield that even the mundane conversation of the scholars needs studying a person who studies Torah a little then his Torah words need examination he studies more he is already qualified in his Torah words they deserve to be studied he studies even more so even his sick person's conversation needs to be studied and so on and the whole point of the parsha of the Azinu is to explain that the children of Israel need to raise all The material and lower things that we reach up to the top are not for the purpose of being up there, angels, the Holy One, blessed be He, has enough burnt offerings. What is needed are people of all kinds. I have someone who is connected to heaven and can raise the entire earth to heaven. And now from here there is great advice for serving God. Up to this point, this is an understanding. In the verse now he says, "Therefore, the heart of man should not be burdened with what is necessary to engage in material and lowly things." Now we are preparing for Village Day and there are many preparations that are not to the level that I would like when I prepare for Village Day. There are physical matters that are necessary, and one of the physical matters is that there is a mitzvah to eat on the ninth day. In fact, we already want to reach a level where we are not dependent on matter, and suddenly they tell you that on the ninth day, you should actually eat. So I say, how can I, before the Day of Atonement, be immersed in eating, and from the oil you will bring the kasita? We read today that it was not made from the fat, the kasita. I arrive at the Day of Atonement on the eve of Rosh Hashanah. It is written to fast, but on the eve of Yom Kippur, this is from the Torah, part of the methods of eating, and therefore the heart of a person falls upon what needs to be done in physical and lowly things, because they have risen, stop, his action is perfect, all the levels, all the actions, and likewise, man includes all of creation, that is, the Holy One, blessed be He, is the one who gives life to everything, stop, his action is perfect, and knows every action because you are his action. These are the days when even the lower matters, everything is part of the divine revelation. It is not that we, God forbid, say that there is one who creates light and another who creates darkness. One creates peace and the other creates evil. No, we see everything from one source. And in any case, eating on the ninth elevates a person as if he were a turtle on the ninth and tenth. Because the elevation above materiality on the ninth comes through eating on the ninth. What is it like to be angry? As if it belonged to the upper classes. Just as a servant's work has no food or drink before it. The sages say about Israel on Yom Kippur that they are like the angels of service. There is no eating or drinking before them. And whoever eats on the ninth, it is written on him as if he had fasted on the ninth and tenth. That is, he eats like the angels of service. That a person fasts like the angels of service is the same simple thing, but if the earth hears that I eat and I am like the angels of service, it is a greater miracle, but really we usually say the opposite, they say that whoever is so high after that, his staff is also holy, but we never say that whoever is so low, something. Of course, we say all the time that whoever is, Shabbat is the highest day of the week. Where does it come from, where was it born? From the six days of action that precede Shabbat. This is the seventh day. It takes six days for you to lift the lower world until you reach the upper world. Everything comes from the lower to the upper. You take a piece of light from a gross animal and put it on this, and after you have done all the tactile action, you bless, and then you pull, and then there is an abundance of the Almighty God. If the lower is used for the upper, True, and it comes from him and for him if a person eats on the ninth of another month then but here it is the ninth of the tenth or if he eats on the ninth and not the tenth or that we do not say it is a dispute whether Yom Kippur atones for those who do not repent or not good further and so it is written he will establish the rewards of nations for the number of the children of Israel and here is another example of your question who comes first the Israeli nation or 70 nations 70 nations this is the end of the Noahic story the Israeli nation is you go you go so first there are 70 nations and after that in the Israeli nation he will establish the boundaries of nations for the number of the children of Israel the end of the act is the thought first but the beginning of the act is the bottom of the thought the end of the act thought first this is really this secret of a way within a way what in the thought is night to day in the act is lata lata at the end like the man who was created on the sixth day and they say to him you are the first you are the last in fact in Genesis we had a one cycle in the army with commanders who want to educate us to be enlightened and not then it was one educator who had a mantra that the earth is ahead To the Torah. So if there is something social and there is prayer then what comes first? So he keeps telling him, guys, the path of the land precedes the Torah. So they came to me, what what do we do? It was here in the room, even the discussion, what do we do? So I told them you also need a mantra to answer him. Your mantra is that the red carpet precedes the king and nothing more than that he steps on it. Saying first is preparation, you don't bring the king and then you say wait a minute and on you we'll put the red carpet in front of you and when the king comes he steps on it. The path of the land precedes the Torah. It doesn't mean that the path of the land is above the Torah but it is preparation for the Torah, he will establish the rewards of the nations. It is the path of the land for the number of the children of Israel. It is preparation and then we are constantly he would say this is the path of the land and they say the red carpet precedes the king and so if so, yes, it is in particular that there are in every man of Israel these are the hidden things that at the beginning a child is born, there is not a drop of Torah in him, nor a mitzvah, nor knowledge, nor spiritual matters, what is in him, eating and drinking and breathing, this is what is in him and this is what prepares him for the knowledge of the Supreme Being that they are From the powers of all nations. That is, where do we get our materiality? We get our physicality from the world of angels. And where do we get our materiality? From the parallel to the nations of the world. He will establish the boundaries of nations. And the Israeli man must establish them. He takes all the powers that are also in the nations of the world and he raises them up. He says and this is what the verse says, he will find it in the land, speaking as if the Holy One, blessed be He, finds us in the continents. This is a great rule in the service of Hashem, which one of the sophisticated advices of the evil inclination is that it suggests seeing the situation that the service of Hashem should be pure, pure and heavenly. And if you currently have material matters that occupy your mind and require you to engage in the affairs of this world, you need to bring in a living, you need to prepare the meal, you need to clear the table, you need to wash the dishes, all kinds of things that you need to do. What do you do on the day of Atonement? The meal is interrupted and the dishes are washed so that there are no dishes hanging around the house on the Day of Atonement. So what is the ritual of washing the dishes? Run for every vow. So you say, I tell you, the evil inclination, listen, the service of God is only a heavenly holiness and purity. Now you are engaged in physical buildings. Not when it ends well, you come to all the vows, but you come from the one who had a lot of rain matters. So what is happening in the mind? He is still busy with the matter of rain. He comes, the inclination of the parent and says, listen, it is excellent that you want to serve God, but you have to do it right until all the affairs of this world are removed from your thoughts. You cannot enter a day of rest when he talks to you about it. If they tell you, don't think about pink elephants, what do you immediately think about pink elephants? So he tells you, all the time you are engaged in the buildings of this world, no, it doesn't belong, it is good where you want to go, but come, why does it not belong? So what are you thinking about now? No, what is it? So the inclination of the parent in the thicket told you, yes, now you still come. What is it? You cannot serve God, and what will the dead of the service of God find in the land of the desert? Go forth, work of my soul, get up, work of my flesh, and this is in the land of the sick and tired, and I have water. The service of God is when a person feels The Torah has not yet enlightened him, that has not yet awakened him, that is the worship of God. Many times we say in yeshiva that the first night of Rosh Hashanah is not the worship of God. The first night is a reward. May the chicken go to the slichas. Why? A person comes to Rosh Hashanah, the first night for a whole year he has not heard. I am Ashkenazi, yes, ah, ah, ah, so he comes once, the soul blossoms from it, this is not the worship of God, this is a reward. What is the worship of God? If on the first day, they brought bees and after that a quick meal and you ran for the year, it was Shabbat, but you ran for the operation of the bull shofar and you arrived at the feast because you started early in the morning and all day you were in prayers, you squeezed all the strength of your personality. You come from Lamiri with both eyes falling asleep, and the Baal Tefillah is not. It was already yesterday. You have already sung all the melodies. Or is the worship of God beginning now? Desire and tired without water, but a Baal Shem Tov says, "Fast for me, my soul has risen, my flesh has risen in the land of Israel." When is there a true thirst for Hashem in the land of Yoav, and King David prays that I will reach the holy place of the heavenly place, which is also there? In the Holy of Holies, you have foreseen that there too there will be such a place as in the desert. So if a king is in the land of the desert, he will find it there. The Holy One, blessed be He, wants that in the place that separated us from the Torah, there we will worship Him. If we are in the land of the Blessed One, blessed be He, and through this, He will turn us around, and so on. Even though it is written that He chose the children of Israel from among the ancients, part of the name Amos, who preceded then, part of being with Him, and yet He found it in the land, even though we were still with Him before the world was created. Our thought of Israel preceded everything. But the essence of the invention is when the Holy One, blessed be He, has some revelation, some so-called, some amazement, like a person who finds a find that has some surprise. The essence of the discovery is in times of sorrow and Esther in the land of the desert, a place of darkness where a person grows the evil inclination. The human inclination is bad. It is bad when it flows from the source. It is immersed in materialism and from there he will come to worship the Lord. This is the essence of the human character. Therefore, when a person worships the Lord and the evil inclination says to him, "Listen, after you have no support, and you have no foreign thoughts, and you have no carnal inclinations, and you have no all kinds of things, then you will be able to worship. The name then first of all you say no no why all of a sudden when I have all these this is the main finding that the Holy One blessed be He finds found him in a desert land and in sorrow and Esther a place of darkness which an Israeli Israeli expects to see the revelation of holiness in this world the low and the land will hear with Rafi and this is called a desert land that does not have only the will it is known that the word land is from the word will and this is the braid for you my soul rose up for you my flesh this is I want you because I am in the desert this is the place of the tzemon so a desert land is that there are dry simply and there is a braid land of will and this is called a desert land found in a desert land with will from the desert in the braid from the tzia and tired without water and there is no water except the Torah and so it is the work of man in the sand I will tell you from whom I taught her peace be upon her I am in the middle of the shalwish then I am atonement from a lie and I do not know I heard this my brothers heard this and my brother said this at the funeral that my mother said she did not fear the last day it is written play for the last day why does the Holy One blessed be He say good and good we will reach her name he will do what is good and good doing what And play on the last day, he loves us, so what is she afraid of here? She's afraid of the shame. What is the shame? My students called me the Rebbetzin. And here it's all too true. You can make fake news and say whatever you want. And there are even many who will give you your day. You made a crazy, novel movie full of lies. And I'm not blood. And the Gentiles will wipe your hands. But the truth comes to the world as if by miracle. So she means, I accompanied the students, some of whom my mother was very involved in Baal Teshuvah. Some of whom say, "Every bit of worship of God is a world war for them." What hairs, what ups, what downs, what upheavals, what shocks, what shocks? All their personal qualities were broken down and rebuilt for a bit of worship of God. I'll come there. What a shame to be called the Rebbetzin. And to all those who gave their lives for the service of God, they're like the students. This shame is what caught her. This is the only thing that catches her there. So, a person who studies Hasidism gets used to it. This is the innovation of the Baal Shem Tov. He brought the common people together. He had an order that On Shabbat night, the common people also dined with him, and on Shabbat afternoon, at the third meal, only the company had a kaddish. And once, it was at the Baal Shem Tov 's, which I tell the story not only for what we do with someone who I think is a simpler person than me, but also to the simpler parts of me compared to the parts of the company. There was a Kaddish of Captivity, which was that once the Baal Shem made a rapprochement with the extremes and let some rude man eat from the plate with him. Which relative is close to it? I don't remember exactly, but something like that. And the company recited the kaddish. It was indigestible to her. It was against the entire DNA of Jewish thought. So at the third meal, they asked the Baal Shem Tov what it was and what it was about. So he shook hands with the first one and said, "Everyone, you shook hands with me." And the last one shook hands with him. He made an aliyah of soul, and everyone made an aliyah of soul, and they saw, like now, that 50,000 people are going to the Western Wall. You can't move. The trains are standing in front of me. The Western Wall needs to be projected inside the train because everyone is carrying the Kotel on the walls. Everything is ready because all those who were unable to enter the gate, so at least see on the wall what's happening at the Western Wall. So someone said, we need to go on the trains too. All the trains are full of people going to the Western Wall and they get stuck. You can't move. So make us agree. Let's see what's happening at the Western Wall. So they see thousands of angelic souls running, running, running, and so on. The closer they get, the more eager they are to run, and the greater the number of angelic armies becomes. And finally, he sees that there is a gun down below, and from there come sounds that taste like heaven, and they hear psalms that they are melting. They thought they couldn't return to this world because of the ah-ma- tix. And then he lowers his hand and tells them, "Do you know what these psalms you heard are? No, we've never heard anything like that." He said, "These are the same people who were here yesterday. And now they're not invited." So what are they doing? They're sitting in the aisles and saying, "Missiles." That's what you heard. That's what you heard. But the main thing that's on offer is also within us. You need to know when everything is going your way and you're in high spirits. No, but suddenly everything is dry. They found him. When is it?" You are a finding of the Holy One, blessed be He, in the blessed land, but the essence of the finding is Esther, a place of darkness that Israel expects to see the manifestation of holiness in this lowly world, and this is a sign. Yes, and so is the work of God. Here, and so is the work of man in the world. He brings the example. And when the holy Sabbath comes, there is a circle around us here in the tabernacle of peace. So who can ascend to the heavens of the Sabbath? And what is this? They will understand it with a greater soul, that knowledge will be added to a person. They will understand it on the holy Sabbath, as we wrote elsewhere. Also every day, they will surround us with a tallit with a tsitzit. They will surround us with tefillin, like a person who woke up in the morning, now that he is dead, he is like a horse and a bull. What is the difference between an animal that sleeps and a person that sleeps? There is no knowledge in him, no mitzvah in him, there is nothing in him. And he gets up in the morning from this Bamiyot, washes his hands and begins to rise and from the earth, they will speak. They will speak. These mitzvahs are fast for a person every day in this world. Even after Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, when a person becomes pure but does not know how to find the sacredness of this world, which is like a desert, he said. I have a Yom Kippur boy, so okay, so you are pure, we will wipe everything from you. What do you want now to be in the child of its name, to be dust in the Holy One, blessed be He, yes, in the holiness of your faces, therefore they will surround us in the Sukkah and illuminate it with a lamp that is captivating, and it will also illuminate it. It is a hint of Simchat Torah, as Rashi wrote, it will illuminate in the Torah. So like this, we are all the time from the invention, he is in the land, speaking through it, through the red carpet, we come to the king, to be glued even in our contempt, the sky from and the land will hear, a good and sweet year, the final, a good signature, Shabbat, receives
