Zohar Parsha Chayei Sara. The Lubavitcher Rebbe & Rebbe’s Father Kabbalist. Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is the question of the week is how far do we have to go for a is to love our fellow Jew like ourselves so we're learning now from The Zo from the Reb's father the cabalist and from the rebba so the Z says like thisi opened up and he says we find in the prophets the yo Jonah when he was running away from God he went on the boat and then there was a big storm and they threw him into the water so the zor as y was running away from God that's obviously why there was a storm so if that's the case why wasn't there like an earthquake why wasn't there something with the ground why did it wait till he went into the water and only from the boat was there a storm they threw him off and the zor says because the sea is compared to the sky and the sky is compared to the to The Godly throne and that's why you had the storm so D's father asked new what's the connection and D explains and he said D's father explains as follows that the sea is referring to gur severity severity where Associated the sphere of malus this the sky is severity associate which sphere the sphere of Z the six mid and The Godly The Godly Throne is connect to gur ofina so because you have all these levels of gur that's why you had the storm on the sea and that's why he was thrown out what's the connection with s that's why they bring it in this para because when it says there was a big storm what does that mean in Hebrew yam that the yam the ca was very strong if you take the word the two the two words which are made of four letters z y me so a is 70 Z is seven Y is 10 ma is 40 so you have 127 which is the same 127 years of s and we know s is Mal and also has a level of what severity in malus that's the connection and the re father goes on to explain he says Yi is the one that taught it to us what's the connection with Yi so Yi is spelled which 10 6 60 and 10 which is 86 and that's connected to the shim the name of God Al which is also 86 which is referring to the part of God which is so ask a simple question the fact is what's the question why the SE what is zor asking the re's father has to explain why the SE why was there a storm in the sea and why re father explains because of gur like really you know when you travel it's dangerous especially in the Seas what's the big question here and R explains the question is like this because the med says when yo was on the boat and it was a storm so all the everyone start to look outside and they give a look all the boats around were driving peacefully only their boat was in the storm and that's why the question is why was there a storm only with that boat and versus the other ones and the answer is because obviously like der's Father explains because of the gor that took place between the sea and between the between the the sky and between the K COV all those three three created the powerful storm says one second okay so how come there wasn't some kind of earthquake in the on the ground and re explains beautifully and he says because what happens is as long as somebody's in the ground which is called Al Galia the revealed world we have the power to do chuva so as long as there room to do chuva God doesn't have to bring a big earthquake we can do chuva but once you go into the sea which is called Alasia the concealed world everything is peaceful over there already is not going to be Chua has to bring the storm to waken you to chuva and re finishes off with a powerful lesson a beautiful lesson and that will answer the question how far do you have to go for a Isel and says one second y was a prophet he was one of the big prophets he received UMES um he received Prophecy from he's one of the 48 prophets that that their their prophecies were written down and he knew that you're not allowed to go ahead and not share your prophecy how did he go not go ahead and share the prophecy that that the that the city of n going to be turned over why did he do that why did he withhold the prophecy cuz he was trying to protect the Jewish people that he loved and because he was trying to protect the Jewish people he loved he was willing to yes transgress against Hashem and not share the prophecy and D says here you see the powerful lesson how much you have to be careful and go out of our way to love each other and to love whatever it takes and obviously look at Jonah he was willing to literally not listen to Hashem just to show love we have the power to express love for each other and we all know that when when when we we love each other it says our greatest blessings come when we're United so let's hope and pray that we have Unity we have love for each other and that will give us the greatest blessings thanks so much for joining us for
