13 Principles of Faith - #2: Bringing G-d into your Life - Rebbetzin Raquel Kirszenbaum

[Music] okay great so last time we finished teaching sort of principle number two that God is one I told you this whole thing and then he call it gave an amazing that our Torah which he only gave it to me and she's supposed to write it but she hasn't so pretty much we were saying that God is pure light right if you look up your light then you're gonna go blind cuz it's just too much so what does go do he reflects himself in ways so that you could understand it this is the way that he manages the world in other ways in Kabbalah this would be known as set fee dot right but now we're saying when the light refracts it reflects into every single color it reflects into every possibility now sometimes you've received going in a certain way sometimes you've received God in a different way but at the end of the day being that everything is coming from the same point then everything is pretty much the same you understand and not only that but we said that God the pursuit says that God formed the light and created darkness so what did we say about this forming means taking something pre-existent and giving it a different shape right by a way if you ever do like little you know you already have the pieces and you give it a form you could do two crazy different Lego things with the same exact shapes you know and you're like wait are you really using the same blocks yes you are that's exactly life God could form his writing whatever way he won in a way that sometimes you're not even gonna pretty seen that this is God but really it is just the same essence being brought in a different way right but then we said what is darkness got created darkness when you create something it's making something out of nothing which also means that anything that is created it is dependent on the Creator which also means is not it is not because it doesn't really exist it is not absolute it is relative and it is totally dependent and then we end up with a line that was so nice and I have to write it on my computer we said that's exactly what the purpose of diagnosis the purpose of darkness is to not allow you to see the light that is already there yeah that was like the highlight the light that it's already there right and then we call came and said something so amazed and she said really what is ripe your light when all of the colors are being reflected yes we could see God in all of it essence this is when you get quiet in life this is when everything is going well what is diagnosed no callers are being reflected it's totally absorbed you understand when there's no reflection of going this world because pretty much we don't not allow it we so why there was a famous like thing in Facebook just to my ideas about this and we move to principle number three this is like when you think book for Facebook or sometimes it says something smart you know what I'm saying so like thank you Facebook okay so this is when you're not getting like Kim Kardashian's pictures sometimes you get something deep but there was once a discussion between a professor and all of his students so the professor said do you guys believe there's God so the student said yes so why did the professor say no there's no good because if there would be good how could you have so much evil in the world so one of the students raised up is on which apparently they say was Albert Einstein who knows right and he lifts up his hand and he says professor do you believe in Colden and he said yes he said professor you're making a mistake cold doesn't exist you cannot measure more cold or less cold in physics you can only measure existence or lack of heat what is called cold this when you don't have heat right then he said professor do you believe in darkness he said yes he's a professor you're making a mistake again there you cannot measure darkness but rather you measure darkness on existence or lacking of light darkness is not a thing that exists right and then he's a professor is there a god he said no he said you make a mistake again evilness is lack of God and by the way you could see this from the Torah which is pretty amazing but at the same time the first time the people sinned right when was the first thing of that or an atom and Javed is sin right they ate from the tree what does the pasok says right away they hide from God they weren't able to see God you know when sin comes you know when even has come when you're not able to see God in your life but if you ever think about it and I said this when do you hide you know what what does it mean that God hated the concept of hiding means that I was completely revealed before because I owe me so that you are not able to see me that means that before I was hiding you were able to see me but sometimes you don't see what is there because you don't want to right as we said the other day if I don't turn on the light in my life I'm not gonna see good that doesn't mean God is not there it just means that I lack the ability to see I'm not exactly what happens with everyone in life we lack the ability to see because we choose not to see and in the same way we see in a megillah' testator right when there was all of this suffering going on on the Jewish people and Haman wanted to kill us and whatever if you don't know the story I'll tell it to you later at some point it says and that night the king was not able to sleep right we have a tradition that says that anytime it has the word hemella which means dark King instead of just king it is good you know because in Hebrew ha makes it like the pizza you understand ok this is I mean not that I'm comparing God to pizza but I do like pizza but I like God much more ok but is Drago sharp acid test what happened with God he wasn't able to sleep right what does it means he wasn't able to sleep the fact that you're not able to sleep means you were pretending to be asleep before sometimes girl pretends to be asleep right but this is not the way it always goes now when you don't see God when you don't see this it's because God wide it's being absorbed in itself God is not allowing you to see him but the whole point of the light being observed is I have to do an effort to not allow for the natural thing to happen you understand I am observing the light I'm doing an effort to go against what it should be right this is what you have to learn in life so at the end what does it means that God is one he's the source everything comes from me when I get this my entire life change let me give you a one more lesson from the other ah so that you could see this if you ever open up that short can I look right which is the book of Jewish law whatever you want to call it the first pass hook that appears on the Shulchan Aruch is this one okay CVT I'm gonna write a big so you get this a shame Lenny Gary Tommy which pretty much means I put a chamb before of me always I'm gonna go again jameelah negeri Tomita run gets disabled great I've put a chamb in front of me always why is this the first pass of the Shulchan Aruch right because the whole shoe can I do it's about keeping the law doing God's will how are you gonna do this you have to put a chamb in front of you always right when I lack conscience and awareness of God I am obviously not gonna do the meat work right all of Meatwad all of keeping Torah is dependent a hundred percent of you putting God in front of you and you being a hundred percent aware of God great now apart from that there is another lesson that is taught to us through this passage which you wouldn't be able to see unless you got to each class right and it really tells you something amazing now you have to read the passage in a different way so check this out in Hebrew the word gvt could mean I've put in front of me but really writing the word chavita comes from the word Chevy and this is why it means I put in front of me anyone knows what Java means it means equal right I've put in front of me means this is like equal to me like I see eye to eye you understand if you ever go to a supermarket and you buy something you say come assess Chevy how much is this worth right how much is this equal to okay everyone good now in Hebrew whenever you finish with an eye yes eat whatever you want to call it in Spanish it is you're referring to yourself yes honey okay our rabbi say read it like this CVT listen to it which is like Chava Lee it is equal to me listen to it because this is huge it is equal to me comma key ashamed and again item it because got it in front of me always what does it means it is equal to me all of life when you have the idea that God is in front of you all of life it is equal to you whether it is bitter whether it is sweet whether it is nice whether it is difficult you're always looking good everything is the same because God it's in front of you when you're able to understand that God is the source of everything right then you understand that whatever is going on in your life even toto you perceive it that way you deal with it cause obviously some things are painful I don't deal with pain in the same way I deal with happiness right but how I know we do it is completely is the same because really it is all coming from the same source once you get this right you could be going through anything in life and it's gonna be Chevalley yes it is painful but it is equally good this is why the Torah says ìif Adam lady Allah Allah Rakha America lot of a person has to bless for bad just as you bless for good this is like a big time that Torah whenever something bad happens to you I told you with a blessing but all died and I met God is judge that true George which is like God I don't like what you did but I find your God but really the Torah says a person has to bless for batter just as he would bless for good because at the end of the day there's no bad there's no good there is just gold you understand if I would ever say that God does something bad that would be the vision that would be a change in God it's imperfection there's no bad there's no good there is just God you know Emporium it says that you have to drink on the you get drunk right okay I have to drink up to your control and what does that RSS until which degree should you drink and it gives you like a thing this is a like a song if you ever go to people something put him ever gonna sing it how dare you know yeah they are the you know what I'm talking about until he doesn't know anyone knows what [Music] almost the difference between blessed is mortifying and cursed is Hamas but really it also says you should you should know the difference between like blessed is Herman and cursed is Mordecai and I like sort of like this so you're like well what does it means to drink in order to get to that level because you're just so like drug you don't even know who's the good guy anymore what does it means you know this is why lots of things happen on podium you know but you know what I thought I is telling you first of all think of what drinking is all of your life you really want to get to a certain place and you really want to think certain things but you're so controlled by whatever is going on you're controlled by your own self you are controlled by your own fears right every morning we say bye to Hitoshi Matty disodium thank you God that you free prisoners it is not only talking about people that are in jail he's talking about yourself you're a prisoner of your thought you're a prisoner of your belief you're a prisoner of your society you're a prisoner of all these things now we know that the whole purpose of wine is that it it not inhibits what is the opposite of inhibit that's any of it that's good okay definitely with you in a way that you feel free yes there's no more being a prisoner now you're able to let go and now you're able to stop being a control freak when you're drinking you just don't have any control right now on a certain sense this is not so good for people that don't know how to drink or for people I don't mean don't know how to drink I mean there are some tricks on drinking you know before you drink something you take some milk milk makes it like that I am NOT giving you any but what is going right so on the wrong side why do people do when they drink they allow themselves do whatever they want because they're drunk so they have no control now I had a friend that wrote a whole article on being shomer negiah it was called sober negiah you only have to be sherman again when you're sober you know you're drunk and it's okay so people just get drunk cuz then you can let go you could do whatever you want you know let go of your inhibitions that's the wrong side on the other side if you ever notice every time we have a Jewish thing you drink there's always wine okay you don't get drunk but you drink why do you drink because the whole point is you're not able to connect to the maximum level as long as during your whole physical controlled way you're not able to so Chabad you have an extra so how do you connect let go a little bit right on podium which is supposed to be the highest day of connection with God you drink a lot so that you let go of those inhibitions but in the most kosher positive way because you're allowed to be connected in an emotional way you're just letting go and sometimes your body doesn't allow you so now listen to it when you're drinking and you're drinking and you're drinking your mind is not working so much anymore you allow your soul to work and you know what your soul understands sometimes you want to understand how really Haman was a good thing but you can't do it you know as much as you want to explain the Holocaust and this and that pain is too much and it will take over your mind I always say there's a reason why your brain it's higher than your heart because your brain should take your heart and not the opposite way but we all know we'd function on the opposite way many times you underst understand something logically but if it doesn't make sense emotionally you will just like shut off your brain who cares it's just too pink I'm not gonna deal with it but you know what happens I'm putting huge on podium the brain is shut off and therefore the soul it's able to take over the soul it's able to understand I you know what happens you drink until you get to this point that you don't know who's blessed and who's cursed because in reality no one is blessed or cursed understand we achieve the same purpose through blessed Mordechai or cursed Haman Haman was the greatest blessed thing that happened to us because if he wouldn't have been for her man we wouldn't have don't you want the understand you think of it as being some paper but really greatest blessing in your life you know if you break your leg and you meet that Jewish doctor that's you know good-looking and has lots of money wasn't that the greatest blessing that happen in your life it was but you're usually not able to see it you might say oh it allowed me to have something good but you won't say that that was good that's a way we are but when your show really feels it you understand that you could reach gourd from Mordechai but you could also reach God from Haman and for many of us it is much more successful to reach it from Hammond do you think of it as being bad it was Robert was a blessing thank God we had Hama thank God we have all of these things that allow us to see what is it that we should be doing in our lives you understand she may be ashamed when you put God in front of you and you understand his the sorts Chevalley everything is same to me everything looks good everything is nice because I understand that everything it's coming from the same source and really it is all godly you understand and again I don't always practice this but when I do I just changed my mindset like this I could be one day complaining about all of these things and then one day one Saigon it pretty much takes like it's like a switch I got like wait where is good and you know what I realize you ever think about this which explains exactly my point what is darkness absorbed God is not being reflected whenever you're having pain or doubts or complaining it is exactly because you're not allowing yourself to express that God is there you ever notice this there's no God in your picture if God would be on your picture in one second you would be in a different mood one second you would still be going through pain but your mood and your understanding would be exactly different the moment you allowed that darkness in your life if you would really think about it it would be that why is that darkness happening because you're blocking the whole existence of God in your life you're just blocking it he's just not there because if you would allow him to be there I could guarantee you you wouldn't be going through that darkness guarantee the darkness would look to you in a whole different ways and you know this because there are people that go through things that are like crazy paying phone when they have God didn't look at them as something good you know like and you're like for beyond you myself but even you how could it be because when I allow colors to express I am able to see whatever is going through in different ways you know there's lots of colors so I'm able to see it in a different way but I don't when I don't allow any of God to be expressed in my life there's no colors there's just one thing darkness I don't see anything else you know just like the last thing and then I'm really going to principle number three but really I really like talking about this idea but fine I'm going back to a thirteen principles that the repeaters does this from naturae you know at some point you remember I for have entire married for a really really long time they have no children okay whatever so our elements are going down to like Miller and suddenly they stop and they are washing their face in the water right so IRA ham says oh my god now I know that you're beautiful which is a whole speech in itself like hello where you're wearing sunglasses the whole time how did you not know that she was beautiful I have a whole class on this but it is not one I'm teaching right now and then he says please say that you're my sister so loud they will not kill me in order to have you okay so Rashi says why does that or that comes to tell you exactly now that he found her so beautiful and he said and Rashi answers because when people are traveling they usually don't look good you know this is a way like literally you come from like a land flight after 50 hours you know like you smell by your new but if you come with a baby you look like a painting there's like stuff all over you you know there's a burp over here there's poop over there there's whatever it's just like why should I change my clothing I'm just gonna get more clothing dirty you know I was like Shelley I love you I have symbols of you all over me it is so special yesterday I'm no idea how Chevy does this because she's just a genius I really think you're shy I didn't close the bottle well but his blaming Chevy you know what I'm saying he takes the woman's ID but like she opened up the bottle and threw everything at the buffer at 10:00 p.m. and I was like Faria but then I went to see her and she looked so cute she looked like she had a little do on her hair she had like oatmeal with like me alcohol was like you so then I took her to shower with all of her clothing it was a very special moment okay The Price is Right so literally what does it say when you're traveling you don't look good okay so I reckon on his head hello you're driving not only do you not look bad you still look pretty you must be really pretty you know like who travels and look good only Kate Middleton looks good the day after she gave birth you know what I'm saying okay this is life but then if you look deeper it's telling you like an amazing lesson for life right you know what he's telling you this Rabbani give me mommies Rockies this you know what he's telling you when life takes you from place to place and you have no idea what's going on when you're on the way you know we're on the way means you want something but you're not there right you have no you're confused you don't know where God is taking you don't know what's going on you don't know what's gonna be tomorrow you do not look good because there's nothing more dangerous and more painful to a person and being in a state of unknown I always say this the hardest stage in life is to be in a state of unknown which by that way will happen to you every day okay because God does this so that you'll develop a mana and that's a topic on itself but we don't really like it meaning if you wouldn't know you're getting married in five years you might consider it late but okay I'll go party the other son but because you don't know when you're gonna get married you don't know what choices to make because all you have to think about marriage sound like what happens if I never get married you're gonna get married but what happens if I get it's like the most scary thing if you know you're married and you're gonna get pregnant tomorrow or in five years okay mom could be hired up do not have babies for five years but I'm gonna do like a laser I'm gonna go you know all over the world I'm gonna burn but if I don't know I'm gonna get pregnant first of all there's the fear maybe I'll never get pregnant but you can also know move on with your life because you cannot even take a vacation with your husband because maybe you'll get your Peter you understand like life is complicated right so a Torah tells you Sarah she looked pretty even when she was traveling by the way if someone was traveling in life this is Sarah she didn't have children till 19 you know till 99019 would be pretty hung okay she didn't have children until 90 okay she shared her husband with her maid which was really the Egyptian princess Joe so you know right she was always struggling she was always going places people were always doubting what she was doing you know she didn't really know she was doing what she thought was right but how do I really know if good things I'm so righteous right I wasn't right but she looked beautiful you know whatever I need I mean give me my Mizrahi said you know why she looked beautiful her is a beautiful Hebrew pretty yes Father i sir rabbie need give me mommy's rocky says you could divide this word into two yeah Oh which really one of the names of God is yeah yeah check this out God is here you know how you gonna look pretty when you're traveling when you have good in there that's the only way you can look pretty you understand that was the beauty of Sarah she had constant awareness of what God is at every second of her life God is one and even when I'm going through that greatest suffering in my life and nineteen years I don't have children this is really good for me the not only think is good for me this is just good this is pure light I'm Nydia why but like hello we can't with this married 5,000 years later because she was able to deal with this he understand is beautiful any questions of this topic I mean I could pretty much give you a serious which I did last year any call came through some right bar we don't have time but I do have an amazing series called find the meaning and suffering you
