welcome to our class on this
we're going to be learning a very
special hasidic discourse in the rebbe
it's actually the only certified and
edited hasidic discourse of the rebbe on
this week's torah portion pashas foreign
said
this discourse on shabbos parties by
just like this upcoming shabbos which
was also then
the 20th day in the month of march which
as we know
is the birthday of the rebel rashad
and the rabbit said this discourse in
the year tough shin
lamed zion exactly 44 years ago
the name of the discourse is called the
hashem umar and god said
i'm going to conceal or hide anything
from avraham
and the rubber actually certified and
edited the discourse
10 years later and it came out with a
contrast called
in honor of the birthday revere
34 years ago so the civic discourse is
based on the verse in the torah portion
where the torah portion says
the torah says hashem says
god says am i
going to hide from avram
and the verse continues
avrom is going to be a great nation and
kia dative
that he's going to command and instruct
and inspire his children his offspring
with shamroo derek hashem they're going
to watch and observe
and keep the way of hashem lasa is to do
dhaka charity and stucco we know in
general refers to all the mitzvos
umishbot injustice
those are the verses the rubber quotes
from the
torah portion so there are quotes from
the rebel rashad who said acidic
discourse in the year
tough race zain
which is 114 years ago
and in this civic discourse on the same
verse
hashem says am i going to conceal myself
from abram and he asks a very simple
question
what does the torah tell us
hashem that he's going to instruct his
children his future
generations that they're going to keep
the derek hashem
so we know what is derek hashem what is
the way of hashem
it's not a highway it's not a railroad
what's a derek hashem what is it
referring to
it's referring to a life of terror
mitzvos so when you say that the
jewish people are going to keep derek
hashem the way of hashem doing teri
mitzvahs
so if that's the case what is it what is
the torah adding by saying la says
charity which is referring to all the
midsoles and mr nishba justice it's part
of terror mitzvos
so the rebel ashab explains in the
acidic discourse
that when we say derek hashem what we're
referring to
i'll say it in hebrew allah translated
which means drawing down godly energy
from a high place
highly not physical but spiritual high
place
into the physical world and
snuggle bishop the second part of the
verse is referring to the avoido
mata la milo where you elevate the
physical world
and in in kabbalah in it's called the
avoid of ur yoshi
or yoshi means you're drawing down a
straight light straight from heaven
straight from a higher place down to
this world
and the avoiding that's called
a light that returns and that
that created by elevating the physical
world
so that is the explanation in short what
the reverend asham gives
in that civic discourse now
what's interesting is this is the
discourse
which is that he said in the year tough
race
summer zain 114 years ago is part of a
long
essays on a heavy hasidic discourse
called the
tough race summit love which started the
year before
and in the year before so the the
rebel asham also discusses these verses
however there's a difference between the
way the reverend asham discusses these
verses and these kabbalistic ideas
in the year before in tough race samov
and the way he explains it the year
later in tough race summer zayn
which this this course is based on it so
they're explaining we see there's a few
differences
first of all in the first pacific
discourse a year before in the year
tougher islam
so the uh discourse the ver is based on
all this are based on a verse notorious
so it starts off not with the beginning
where shem says am i going to conceal
from abraham but it starts off on the
verse key adaptive because i know
and the second this course which one
we're referencing to now
actually starts like this discourse from
the verb from the verse which says
hashem
says i'm going to go ahead and conceal
from album so you see right away two
discourses and one starting from a few
verses earlier like this one
and one starts a few verses later also
when they um explain when it's we say
that
hashem says because i know
so each discourse has a different
different translation or understanding
of that we know the 70 right answers
but each one picks their their their
unique
response and that's as follows so in the
first
civic discourse there's a year before
the one we're referencing to here
so over there he explains what does it
mean when hashem says key adaptive
because i know
so first he brings the targum that
translated
to mean lost language of judea hashem
says i know
simple i know um or it does explain
kabbalah ari gali khadmi it's known to
shem
some say no but then he also brings
rashi that rashi says
the adaptive means it's an expression of
khiba of love
i know it's coming based on love so in
the first specific discourse which is
again
a year before he says the adaptive means
either the expression of
knowledge or the idea of
prima love
and and over there the the rebel asham
explains kabbalistically what does it
mean
knowing what does it mean the idea of
love she explains as follows
when you say you adapted as as an
expression like the targum translation
of the idea
understanding or knowledge that's a
reference to in the sphero
you know this tensory ro the highest
sphero when you count
kessler so kessler has two parts to
kessar
there's tainan which is the higher part
and it's rot sand which is the lowest
part
so when we say that if it's your
reference to
rotsoin haatsumi the lower part of casa
razorin
but the essence of rotsan and adaptive
means that the rot sign
which is normally concealed is actually
is
revealed the rot saying is revealed
and when it says the adaptive like rashi
explains an expression of
love that's referring to the higher
level of kassar tainog
and tainakshmi the inner part of tiny
the
the the depth of the idea of tainook so
again so the first specific discourse a
year before that robert
schaab explains what is the adaptive
it's referring to either
the knowledge which on kabbalistic terms
it's rotsona
or kiba which is referring to
tynagatsumi
however in the second year the one that
this
discourse is based on so with there he
explains what is he adaptive he doesn't
bring the first
understanding of the adaptive knowledge
or wrote saying
but he says only which
is referring to the tainagatsumi and
again the question is why
in the first one does he bring two
levels of rutsen and tainung
and here he goes straight for the
highest level which is timing which is
based on the idea of hiba
like rashi says in a simple
understanding of adaptive
another difference is that in the first
year
tafresham when he brings the uh
the same when he discusses the idea and
he says like this
so it's what does it say in the verse it
says hashem
we're going to observe the way of hashem
which we know again is referring to
toyota mitzvahs and then it says
lastly is to do it stuck on this book so
he explains in the first
discourse a year earlier in tougher
islamic love that
lastly of mishpot is actually just
an explanation of what derek hashem is
derek hashem we know is tara mitzvoice
so it's taka misha's explaining to you
know what it means derek hashem it means
the way it's stuck on mishpot
or it's like is a detail of derek hashem
so it's not really adding anything it's
explaining what the
hashem is what does that mean
practically because we know derek hashem
it says derek hashem one way of hashem
there's one way of hashem what's one way
of hashem
referring to torah this one torah in
turn tells us how to live
a life of hashem which is basically the
general ideas without getting into the
details
of specif of specifics but then he goes
on to sadako mishra explains what does
it mean derek hashem learning torah in a
way that you apply it
by doing the mitzvos and in myths as we
know there's for example the 613
commandments
248 positive 365 negative
which corresponds to the 248 limbs we
have in our body
and the 365 which is all the details
that make up a human being
however in the second set of discourse
i'm tough raised some of
the one we're referencing over here over
there he explains what does it mean last
taka
even though it says con even though it's
right after derek hashem it's not an
explanation or
detail of derek hashem but he says no
derek hashem is the avoider of drawing
godliness into the world
and then you come to a higher level of
stockholm mishpock which is
elevating hashem going malmatilamyla
elevating the physical world
um onto a higher level so you see
there's two different two different
two different insights and we have to
understand what's the difference why in
one classic discourse uses one approach
and in the other he explains a whole
different approach so here the rep is
going to approach this in a very very
powerful kabbalistic level and he starts
can explain this based on a hasidic
discourse
actually from the reber ashab who he
said that says his birthday celebrations
he's quoting quoting from him
an exciting discourse called zachar from
the year
tough race which is
11 eleven twelve years later after he
said these
these discourses and explains like this
and also
in the uh there's a lot of the hasidic
discourses from the middle arabah
the second uh the second the chabad
rebel who explains
different passages from the zoar
different passages from the kabbalah
based on the verse he is sharing hashem
that the ways the drachem the ways of
hashem
are straight and in many many places in
siddhas they explain
this idea and the rob is going to
explain his fellows so what does this
mean we say
derek hashem what does it mean the way
of hashem
so the rep explains very simple just
like
bagashmi's physically in a real in a
materialistic sense
what is a derek a derek is a road
what does it mean what's a road so for
example if you live in point a
and you want to go to point b if there's
no road how you going to point a to
point b
there could be a lot of obstacles in the
way uh there could be
there were water there could be not
proper uh ways to
to go from one place to the other and so
on and so forth so you need a derek
so a derrick a road physically takes you
from point a to point b
without any obstacles we all know we
live in the communities and you have
proper roads and you have proper
highways
you're able to go freely and easily so
that's the idea
of a physical road now
so so what is that what and everybody
explains practically let's say for
example you have a king that lives in a
palace
and he has a country so if he wants to
go
all over the country he needs to have
roads that can take it from point a to
visit this community that community and
let's say he wants to go visit the last
person living in
his country far off in a small hick town
you have to have this many smaller roads
but the idea of a road
is it connects you from one place to the
other now what does that mean
on our level so what does it mean derek
hashem and there are explains like this
we're gonna have a little kabbalistic uh
journey so
what happened was before hashem created
this physical world
what existed only the infinite light of
hashem existed
what is the infinite light in hebrew
it's called uranus that's what exists to
be for hashem created the world
what happened hashem decided he wanted
to have a physical world
and he wanted a world where some would
be concealed so hashem had to make a
derek hashem
to make a path to go from infinite to
finite
so the first level in the path what did
hashem do he created that symptom he
created an empty space
that means there's no infinite light
there now
first there was infinite light and now
he created a space which is totally
empty
notice what happens now so then hashem
draw down we call in kabbalah it's
called a cave
a cave is like a line of powerful energy
which is a finite energy that comes into
this empty space
now this cave this line that's coming
from the infinite hm
this is called derek this is called a
road
it's a highway why because it draws down
from the infinite light into the finite
space
a finite light into this world
so the kaab is actually a connector why
because it connects this physical world
to the infinite light of hashem
now so first
has that word survey explains very
simple the cave the light that hashem
draw down
so we know in everything there's there
exists there's something which is called
the external part and then there's the
premius the internal part
so the same thing also this carb that
came down from the infinite light of
hashem
has a soyunious part has the external
part
and has an internal part
the physical world in hebrew
a world is called oil also comes from
the word
of concealment so this physical world
that exists
and the concealment that exists in this
world comes from
the heatsinus the outside part of the
calf
which is actually connected to malchus
we know in the sphero is starting with
either kesser or
das but the lower sphere is maltress so
this
cave which part the consonants of the
cave
is connected to our to malchus of
to the lowest level in the sphero of the
infinite light
but also you have what you have the
internal part of the cuff
from the internal part of the cave
that's where you have the ability to
create revelation into the world of
concealment
and this internal part of the cav which
has the power to reveal hashem in this
world
is connected um in kabbalah it's called
te feres hanellum because we know the
spirit is
central spheroid so you have uh
ferrous so das
tiferes you saw the malcos are the
central spheroids
so the sony's archive comes from the
first central which is macros
and the penis comes a few notches up t
ferris and and from there you have the
power to create revelation into this
world
now so again just to recap so dreb is
explaining
that what is the derek what's the
spiritual derek so just like he gives an
example and go from point a to point b
you need a road so the same thing also
to go from the infinite light of hashem
to the finite world there's a cave and
the kaaba is premiums
from the petronius has created the
physical
concealed world which the service is in
malchus of ainsarif
and the revelation that creates that
exists in this world
comes from the cave the premius the
internal part of the cave
which is connected to taferus of
ainslief
now so based on this the rebel asham
explains as follows
are called derek hashem why is tara
mitzvah is
called their hashem because what's the
purpose why do we learn torah
why do we do mitzvos so in kabbalah it's
called
what does that mean practically to draw
down
the infinite powerful name of yudkevkay
which is revealing the essence of the
infinite
light which is as we mentioned before
the idea of t
ferrous which is concealed which is much
higher than malcolm surveillance life
so based on this reverend asham explains
that's why toyota and mitsvice are
called
because why again what's the purpose of
teremit's voice every time you learn
torah
every time you do a mitzvah you're
actually drawing down
from what from the internal part of the
cave
which is connected to ferris of iren
soif and you're actually bringing in
this powerful
light in the world that means we have
the power every time we learn
every hour we learn every minute we
learn every day we learn
every mitzvah we do we're bringing in
powerful
infinite light that's coming from the
essence of the cave which is connected
to the pharisees and safe
into this world and based on this the ah
the rubber shall explain that's why
toyota and mitsubis are called derek
hashem because these are the roads
these are the paths that we can actually
bring in
the great infinite name of yut kevavkay
hagado the big name of hashem into this
world
now what happens when we bring in this
powerful light into this world
by learning torah and doing mitzvot so
the rebel asham says
through that we actually complete
the hashem's original intention because
we all know what it's brought down in
tanya and it says
that a kaddish word who wanted hashem
wanted to make a deer better
in him hashem wanted to make a dwelling
place down here
how does he shall make a dwelling place
down here by creating a world where
hashem is concealed
by creating a people specifically the
jewish people
and by us learning torah and doing
mitzvos
we're taking and we're drawing in the
infinite light of hashem
which comes from the essence of the kaab
into this world and guess what hashem
has
so we're fulfilling the derby and you're
seeing the back end how practically it's
working
we're drawing in this powerful light
into this world which is basically the
revelation
of the infinite light of hashem which is
even higher than i'm sure you've heard
the terms before in kabbalah
save the light that encompasses over the
world where malay
comes into the world it's even higher
than that because you're bringing it
from the ferris of aryan saif
and we're drawing it down physically
into this world and not only into this
world
as it's as brought down in tanya
we're bringing down the infinite light
into a place where it's so concealed and
it's
and there's no greater concealment than
that and that's really our job of doing
derek hashem
by by learning target and doing mitch
voice and the rubber shop explains there
this idea of dear patronim so he gives a
muscle
because when you want to understand deep
ideas in kabbalah and mysticism you have
to have parable apparel
makes it relatable in a way you can
understand and relate to it
so he gives a very very beautiful muscle
a very beautiful power wall
and he says like for example we all know
that when you live at home
it's your house you can live the way you
want you can you can
behave the way you want obviously
hopefully we behave in a
in a kosher way in a healthy way and
moral ethical but you can live wherever
you want
you can say whatever you want to say you
can think whatever you want to say
you're free it's your house
and we know it says in cabela that a
person doesn't have a house is not a
person because you have no way to really
express and be who you want to be
so if you're living in your house you're
a free person but what happens if you're
invited to someone else's
house a friend a family
a neighbor whoever's house it is and
you're living for a while for whatever
reason in someone else's house
and the person tells you you can feel
100 comfortable just like your house
you can do what you want you can say
what you want you can think what you
want
you can just make believe it's your
house
so there are a child says let's say you
and this is a family friend or it's a
family member or a friend or whatever
maybe someone you trust
and you live the way you want
so what happens when you live the way
you want in that house
you're totally revealed you're totally
living freely
now but here's the question is it really
your house
it's not your house you're a guest in
someone else's house and you're living
freely
he uses the rubber hashem uses this
muscle to understand the idea of what
dearborn and he explains as follows
because what happens is
when you live in somebody's house and
let's even say you're living freely
does the house ever become yours no
you're living freely and you're
comfortable and you can pay the way you
want and so on and so forth
but the house never became yours
so the rebel shadow says the same idea
with dear brotherhood
we're living in this world and yes
berkshire we're living in a free country
we can learn and we can pray and we can
do mitzvot
and we can be proud about it and life is
good from a spiritual perspective
but the real question is is this our
house no we're guests in this house
the world was not transformed didn't
become a godly world
we are doing godly acts in the world
whether it's through prayer
through torah study through meditation
through doing its voice
but the world didn't totally go away
the world you still see a world which is
concealed of godliness so in other words
even
after this tremendous revelation we
learn
and we do mitzvos and we said we're
drawing in this powerful infinite light
of hashem
from the pharisees of iron saif guess
what this world remains a physical world
but nevertheless you're drawing in heavy
godly light
and based on this there never explains
that's why he uses this analogy
because even though you're living in
someone else's house and you're living
free
freely it's not your house
and that's the idea of dearborn means
yes
the tax time will always remain which
means this world will always be
a concealed world yes we learn torah
we're doing tremendous things we're
bringing a lot of light into the world
how much terror is going on people are
learning every single day all over the
world especially with
all the uh modern technology of youtube
and the other
mediums people use to learn terror
terror is being learned mitzvahs are
happening all over the world
people are bringing a lot of light into
the world but the world is still a world
and that's what your shop uses the
powerful muscle of living in someone
else's house
we have to remember as great as we're
doing is this is not our home
will come and we'll hand back out this
role to its fullest
then we'll be home right now we're
guests in the world
okay so then the rebel hashem goes on to
explain as follows so again so
just to recap what does it mean again
that derek hashem
mitzvah is derek hashem why because by
learning turret doing mitzvos we are
drawing down the infinite light into
this world
so he continues on to explain
that when you have a road that goes from
point a to point b
so you let's say you're living in point
a and you want to go to point b
and you go from point a to point b so
that's the that's the power of the road
but now when you finish at point b and
at some point you want to go back home
to point a
does the road take you back sure it
takes you back just like it took you
there it takes you back
so driver shop creates a
strong reality what is a road a road has
to take you from point a to point b
and then point b to back to point a
if it what happens if the road is only
one way you can only go from point a to
point b
and you can't go back to point a that's
not a road
the road has to go both ways
in other words what does that mean
practically what's our workshop saying a
true road goes both ways
if it doesn't go both ways it's not a
road just like you're going from point a
to point b
you have to have the ability to go back
from point a from point b to point a
so reshaft says very simple when we
learn torah
and we do mitzvos and we said we're
drawing down the light into this world
that's what what are we doing we're
going from point a to point b we're
bringing enlightened to the world
but we still need to do point the second
part of the road
we have to be able to take the physical
world the concealed world
and the concealed world should be
elevated
because we can't elevate the the
physical world just drawing in light
it's not a real road
and the rubber shop explains that's
really if you divide the two toyota
mitzvahs
each one is here to accomplish something
else and i was like this
when you learn torah what are you doing
you're drawing down light into this
world
when you do mix voice you're doing
you're going from now from point b to
point a you're elevating the physical
world
and jeremy trump explains powerfully and
he says like this
when a person learns torah you're
drawing down
the infinite light of hashem why because
we all know what's the torah
the torah is it's tremendous intellect
but whose intellect intellect of hashem
in the words of kabbalah of
atsumasarian saif from the essence of
the infinite light
when you're learning it so you're using
your head you're reading you're thinking
you're meditating
you have quandaries you're discussing
with someone else so your physical
mind is
is comprehensive it's taking in this
powerful light
when you do that and we know the brain
is so powerful you literally become one
with hashem
and matter of fact we know when you
learn something oh i get it
why you become one with what what what
you're learning
so that is toyota toyota has the power
to bring down godliness into the world
what happens when you do a mitzvah a
mitzvah is the opposite
a mitzvah is i'm not drawing down light
into this world i'm doing what hashem
wants
so a i'm doing what hashem wants but
also when any time you have to do a
mitzvah we'll be sitting around doing
nothing
we have a life uh oh we gotta do this
much so we gotta do that mitzvah and we
know the 613 commandments
you get up in the morning you want to
start your day relax one second
ani you got to watch negoblaster you got
to pray
you got to say your prayers if you're a
man you have to put on twilling you need
to put on a talis
whoa i have a have things to do i have
places to go
so sometimes we're in the mood of doing
it and sometimes we do it anyway even
though we're not in the mood
so generally what happens is why don't
you want to do it because your animal
soul doesn't want to do it
so what happens sometimes you have to in
in the words of kabbalah it's called
your
your kaifa you're you're practicing this
kaffir you're forcing
your animal soul to get on with the
program and to do the mistress with you
when you're so when you do that you're
actually elevating the physical world
because
you bought fill in and you was a hide
once and now it's a now it's a kosher
artifact and then also when you're
you're elevating your animal soul some
mitzvos has the power to transform
the physical world so based on this that
you ever asham
explains that's shot in the turret when
it says the shamroo
derek hashem we're going to keep the way
of hashem which again is going both ways
um both ways point a to point b and
point b to point a last
which which means last is uh
because basically we're doing is two
things we're doing derek hashem we're
doing
the la mata which means we're learning
term we're bringing down light into this
world
and also we're bringing the road
backwards
by doing mitzvos and
the torah also says not only to dude
stukka now it's tucker we know even
though it's physically it's charity but
stucco refers to all the mitzvahs
because all the misses go in their
category at stukka
but the the torah says not only talk but
it says you should also do mishpak what
is mishrad
so there ever hashem explains that
stucco has to be done in the way of
mishpock what does that mean
but you have to figure out you take in
accounting what you need for your life
and whatever you don't need help people
with it
think out how much time you need to take
care of yourself your family and the
rest of the time dedicate to help people
and not only that's only the only
reference to dhaka but it's a reference
to all the mitsubishi
we should do make a a a mish but we say
hey are we doing all the messages that
we're supposed to
and not only it's not only enough just
to do them it's voice but we have to do
the missus in a way like dr
explains at length and tanya with the
attribute of cold escapia which means we
have to go above and beyond what we
normally do
we have to get out of our comfort zone
whatever we're doing in mitsuo's do
another mitzvah
ruby is always strong another mitzvah
another mitzvah why because when you do
another which means you're doing more
than you normally do
once you're doing more than you normally
do that's called a scafio
and by doing a scaff you're actually
transforming and elevating the physical
world
and you're elevating the part that
doesn't want to do it
and by doing that you're actually
creating the opportunity that the part
doesn't want to do it should have
godly light coming to it so again just
to recap what he's saying over here
that derek is means it goes both ways
it has to go from point a to point b and
point b to point a which means you have
to be drawing in the light through toro
and elevating the world by doing
mitzvahs now
so there's two components one is drawing
in the light
you learn how you're drawing in the
light the second component is
elevating the world when it comes to
elevating the world we know that
everything in life is pros and cons
so for example the pros of learning
toyota you're drawing in the light
the con is that you're not elevating the
world you're just bringing a light you
stop learning the lights go off
by doing a mitzvah you maybe you're not
you're drawing that's not the main focus
drawing in your life but you're
elevating yourself you're elevating the
world you're elevating yourself and so
on and so forth each one has a pro and a
column
so the rubber explains now there's two
based on whatever shop explains in this
this course that there's two ideas
in the power and the pro of elevating
the physical world
and he explains like this there's one
pro of elevating the physical world and
he says as follows
because what happens we said when you
have a road you have to go from point a
to point b
and then have the ability to go back
from point b to point a
because if you can only go from point a
to point b and you can't come back
it's not a real road so when you bring
in light to the world
you have to be have the ability not only
to bring the light in but the light
should
have have the power to elevate and
transform the world
so therefore therefore
when you have drawing enlightened to the
world it has to have the power to
elevate
why because even though the infinite
light of hashem has no limits
and now that when you learn torah the
light of
you're bringing in the light of the
infinite area inside it can go anywhere
but here's a main point
even though it goes everywhere if the
light doesn't become
one with the physical world
it's lacking in the light
when light comes into the world and it
doesn't affect the world
so it's not complete the light has to
come into the world
penetrate within the world and affect
the world
now what's the litmus test to know that
the light affected the world
when the world when the concealment
or in kabbalah is called the helim
becomes a vessel for the light
now even though
hashem can go anywhere hashem could do
anything but the fact is
but if it if you want the revelation to
be real
the world has to become a vessel for it
and if the the world doesn't become a
vessel for it
there's something lacking in the light
because the light has to have the power
to brighten up the world
and elevate the world so the first point
that urban shop is making is
why is it important for the elevation
because the light
for it to light to be complete it has to
a
bring light into the world and have the
power to elevate the world
if the light just brings light into the
world and it doesn't have the power to
transform and elevate the world
there's something lacking in the light
so therefore you have to have
the light that comes in and the same
light transformed
that's one i that's one reason why it's
important to have the earthquake
and to have the transformation of the
physical world but then the rebel shots
is another reason why it's important
to transform the world
because when you go ahead and transform
the world
and especially in a way when you
practice restraint
escape is a very very important
kabbalistic idea
every time you practice you straight
restraint you're building muscle
it's like going to the gym and you don't
sweat it's questionable whether you
actually worked out
why because if you work that you're
going to break a sweat the same thing
also with coming close to hashem if
you're living your life and life is good
and you don't feel challenged in your
relationship with hashem you're not
doing more than you normally do
and you're not going out of your
paradigm shift there's a question in
that relationship with
how strong it is so with scaffold
which means you're practicing restraint
that is an important part in the
relationship
why is that important because when a
person practices this coffee and this is
key
when you practice hiscafia through the
scaffia through practicing restraint you
actually
reach the essence of hashem
so again by elevating the world and
specifically by going against your
nature
and by practicing the scaffia doing the
mitzvah with this kafir
you reach the essence of hashem and
that's how we all know it says the
famous
lion intolerance is mice with the debate
whether
talmud is greater learning torah or
doing mitzvos
and what's the resolution that doing
mid-slice myself action is greater
why because myself has the power
of practicing restraint and when you
practice restraint it's god
oil because it will take you to the
hellen
atsumi to the concealment the essence of
hashem
which is higher than any revelation so
in other words mind learning terrier is
great it's amazing you're bringing down
tremendous revelations to the world
but by doing a mitzvah and especially
when you're not in the mood of doing the
mitzvah you do it anyway
you actually reach the essence of hashem
so based on this again just to recap
before we go
before we go further so what the
reverend sharma is explaining is
that what's important is a
that the light that comes into the world
should have the power to transform the
world because then the light is complete
be independent that by transforming
and practicing the scaffia you actually
reach the essence of hashem
so based on this ruby explains the
difference between these two civic
discourse that we
brought we mentioned in the beginning of
this class
the the year the one from the year tough
race summit valve the first one
and the one from tough race salmon zion
that we what do we explain that in the
first specific discourse
the rubber shop explained that by doing
mitzvahs
we draw down tremendous ideas and like
explain the two ideas of idea
which was what roxane asked me and
tainan gots me both levels of kessler
the lower level and the higher level
in other words because
in the first specific discourse it's
referring to the idea that when you draw
down
light that light has to have the power
to elevate the
elevate the physical world as well as
well
so therefore since it has to have the
power to elevate
the physical world as as well so the
whole focus really is about drawing in
light
so over there when he's focusing on
mitzvos is a byproduct of toyota
the uterus brings in the light and the
light also has to elevate the world
and therefore he brings the idea of
rothschild and tynuk what happens
already in the next year tough saiyan
now it's about
bringing the syrian up to a whole
different level of growth
not that you're doing the mitzvah as a
bride product interior you know since
you want to draw in light
and mixed voice is part of the process
that makes the light real so that's a
it's connected to like they have drawing
in light
in the second year in the set which
distance to the discourse is based on
he's explaining the power of doing a
mitzvah
and doing a mitzvah not because it has
to complete the light that's coming in
no by doing a mitzvah you're elevating
the physical world and you connect to
the hell of my otsumi
just like and ever says this is alike
the idea that we know the mashiach comes
what's going to happen when she comes
the world
and again world we say we're all
referring to the concealment the
concealment of the world
is gonna wake up and realize oh my gosh
how really it's all about hashem not
that action draws in some kind of
powerful light
no but just doing a mitzvah just doing a
physical mitzvah even though you don't
want to do it
you actually reach the hell of atsumi of
hashem
and the basement also explains why the
the um the verse says
that um the lasik stuck on mishpot
so in the first year the the robert shaw
explains it's a continuation
of derek hashem why because it's all
about derek hashem the action has to go
in and it has to go out
it's a continuation but and but in a
second he doesn't make us a continuation
he actually says
it's a separate idea derek hashem is one
thing
drawing in the light elevating the world
but now he's adding
stalker mishra just doing the mitzvah
just because reaches
asks me and based on this actually we're
explaining something very very powerful
what happens in the first the first
pacific discourse he started off
from the key adaptive because i know
what happened already in the second year
what are we talking about now we're
talking about the ability by doing our
avodah
by doing a mitzvah and doing with the
scaffolding we don't want to do it
so he starts off the acidic discourse
with which verse
hashem says am i going to conceal from
abram am i going to hide from
anything what does that mean i can't i'm
going to reveal everything
what is hashem going to reveal to
avraham to abraham and teaching every
one of us
the something that's concealed what's
concealed the hell them who asks me of
einstein
the concealment of the infinite light of
hashem
that but why is he revealing it and he
says very simple because he's going to
do stuck on mishpocht
which means he's going to do that void
of eurasia
which means he's going to elevate the
mata the physical world
and he's going to instruct his children
to do stuck on mishpot
then we will all have the ability to
benefit and connect to the hell of
hashem
and because we will do tsdaka
and mishpat means we're doing mitzvahs
just because and through that we're
reaching the halamatsumi of hashem
that's why he explains in the second
year only the idea of tainagmi
kia dot is only referring to titanic
asked me the higher level
because by doing mitzvos just because
and we bring light into this physical
world means we're elevating the physical
world we reach helimatsumi
and we reach the highest places and we
reach the level of tainan gatsby of
hashem
and arabic says that these two ideas
of do of keeping the derek hashem which
as the rubber shop explains which means
which means by learning torah and doing
dhaka mishpot mill mata lamaila
practicing his kafir doing what hashem
wants even though when it's not selling
the mood
every one of us have that ability and
power to do both available
both works spiritual works of learning
turnaround drawing now light into this
world
and stuck on myspace by elevating the
world
because we know that torah is nitsuki
turret lasts forever
and especially we know that all the
actions of the forefathers
is is um is a sign for us and the
torah actually says clearly that avraham
is going to
is going to going to command the jewish
people and now he's about a command
commanding us to he actually empowers us
he empowers us that each and every one
of us have the ability
to go ahead and transform the world
by a drawing in the godly light into the
world
and then elevating the physical world
into a very very high level
now whoever takes this idea and he
connects it to
the book of psalms we know that
every single year you say a song
connected to the year that the the your
age so they're ever connected to the age
that the rubber shop would have been
when he said this to the discourse
but it's the the psalm says as follows
king david says it's hashem i'm going to
go in the
way of hashem the art so
in the land of the living now eretz
means the land
our source is plural so what does it
mean arxa is two lands
so the river says what does it mean so
he brings down from the terror earth
from the altar river and the altar
explains his followers
that when it says art says two lands
it's referring to
very simple what is the land of the
living like
one is the drawing down the light down
to this world
and the second thing is elevating the
world
but the rubber explains that this idea
of drawing down the light into the world
and elevating the world you can explain
it in two ways and it explains as
follows
we know that um in the world there's
some created there's two types of worlds
i mean there's many for this
conversation there's two types of world
one of the two types of worlds there's
one type of world called alma discassio
the concealed world
and then there's something which is
called alma desgalia the revealed world
so interior the october explains
that what is the concealed world the
concealed world is what a void what does
it mean practically the concealed one in
spiritual level things are concealed
that's the avoider because it's
concealed it's
which means we have to take off the the
concealment
and see that really everything's from
hashem so because the
concealment is concealed so we which
they are void of milo
and and and this way the concealment
becomes revealed
what is alma this guy in the reveal
world which
means you're drawing down light into
this world so therefore everything is
revealed
so those are the two of us but rebel
also explains
based on the testament torah or
that from the altareba that the alma
descarcio what's
the concealed world and alma descario's
revealed world so we know that
in kabbalah it's brought down that we
know that jacob jacques gadino had two
wives
he had his wife called rahul rachel and
we had a wife leia
on a spiritual level we know that
everything that torah is simple a simple
understanding of torah but we know that
everything in the torah is
is a journey so we refer to leia in the
torah
what what is lay referring to it's going
to it's referring to the
world of makshava the world of thoughts
and which you know we all know that
thoughts are concealed
you don't know what someone's thinking
if they share with you fine they share
with you but thoughts
in the essence thoughts are concealed
it's my thoughts your thoughts
you can choose to share it out but
thoughts there's no
there's no um digital plaque on your
head that tells you all your
tells and announces your thoughts so the
layers the world of makshava which is
the world of amadeus
on the other hand rachel is the world of
deeper speech
speech we know what's the idea of
speaking to sharing things you have a
person a person speaks is obviously
revealed so rahul represents the idea of
deburr
and the idea of what the revealed world
now what does that mean practically
so the rubber explains alma discarcio
the concealed world the world of thor
the world of leia
that means the world of learning torah
because every time you learn terror what
are you doing
you're revealing all the secrets of the
torah
and also when you learn how do you learn
the main learning is takes place where
in comprehension understanding
meditation thought
so you see again the terrorist connected
idea of marshall thought
almadesgas is golly the revealed world
that's mitzvahs mitchus is in the
physical world
you put on twillion you see that you're
already putting on twilight uh whether
you whether you
it's a physical mitzvoth in this mister
about speaking
so alma descartes is referring to what
the idea of learning toy which is more
than
the world of thought and mitch voice is
the revealed world
so based on this trevor explains that
you can actually explain that alma
descassio
even though we before we said that that
that's almighty you can actually say
it's alma descarcio based on this
an understanding is it's actually
almighty why
because you're drawing down things that
were concealed
you're revealing things of toronto
what's got
this galia is because you're
transforming the world
just like for example we said torah
brings down and mitt's voice
goes ahead and elevates this android
says that
when we do the avoido of is
hashem we walk in front of hashem
as we said the two different types of
avoid the two different types of
drawing down the light into the world
through torah and elevating the world
through mitzvahs
so we actually reach and never explains
now the next
um uh um psalm which is for the the
river shop
at that time his next birthday would
have been so what are they saying in the
psalm it says like this hallow
is hashem that all the nations of the
world are going to praise hashem
and it says what does it say the king
because we we have so much
from hashem hashem is so kind to us and
we all know
that when hashem shows kindness and
tremendous kindness to the world
everybody the whole world is how
everyone praises hashem
which what's the what's so these two
ideas
of the hashem which is basically drawing
down hashem's light into the world
and everybody including the nations of
the world praising hashem
that's both ideas of drawing down the
light
and elevating the world in other words
when the nations of the world praise
hashem
that's called the transformation of the
world of the concealed world that even
the nations of the world
get up and praise hashem and governor
elenor
is referring to drawing down the light
into this world why because we know
generally speaking
is that is kindness which means drawing
enlightened to the world
and when it says govar govern means it's
very very powerful
a lot a lot of quest is coming into the
world and as you're drawing
from the highest level down into the
lowest level until
until the lowest level with hashem is
totally concealed and the
in psalms he finishes when he says
hashem
the truth of hashem for the world
notice we know that m is the highest
level
because we all know the rambam he
explains about hashem and he says
that all anything that was created
everything
comes from the amity si matsay from the
true creator
and we know the true creator is
referring to youth kevke the infant
hashem
so the ms hashem referring to the
highest level hashem
comes down into the physical world into
the material world
up until the whole nation all the
nations of the world will see that it's
true hashem
but even after all these tremendous
qualities what does it say in the verse
it says it's that it doesn't it says as
follows
that the ultimate goal is of drawing
down the light in the world is
so that the physical world will be
elevated
that even the nations the word halloween
that all nations of the world are going
to praise hashem
just like we just like we explained
before at length that when it's when
it's
when the idea of doing stuck on israel
which means elevating the world
which comes after hashem so first comes
the kindness of hashem down to this
world
and then we do the mitzvos to elevate
the world and the rebel finishes often
he says that the what does it say at the
end of the psalms
it says
which means we pray hashem we praise
hashem and we all know that there's 10
songs
throughout history that there's 10 songs
that are going to be sung
nine already were sung and then in the
in
in explains all the different nine
different songs that we had in the past
but the 10th song is going to be when
when mashiach comes
in in the future mashiach comes and why
because then you're going to have
the ultimate revelation the ultimate
song where everyone's going to recognize
everyone in this physical world is going
to recognize who hashem is
which that's like they have my sagado
that the physical world is going to
recognize one we're going to recognize
and mention god willing
when mashiach comes very very soon
and very very quickly so as you can tell
this is a very very powerful acidic
discourse
because over here besides the tremendous
depth of
kabbalah throughout the discourse but it
shows you
the power that we have by learning torah
we draw down the light from the oiring
sife
through the essence of the cave of them
to ferris into this world
but more importantly or just as
important both because you need both
by doing a mitzvah you have for the
first level of mitzvah you're doing a
mitzvah as a byproduct of the light
that's in the world but more importantly
every time we do a midsole we haven't
practice the power of a scaffia
we transform and we elevate the world
and by transforming and elevating the
world then we create the real union
and then we're able to connect to the
hell of answers of hashem and
as the urban says ultima will merit for
the great revelation when the whole
world will realize
that hashem is the real power and will
all be merit
to have god willing the revelation of
mashiach very very quickly
and let's hope and pray that the next
hasidic discourse will give him rich
hashem and your shalom ear hakodesh
have a great and blessed week and we
should only
merit to continue to experience
and to live the uh promise hashem said
how can i even hide from our room means
it's not possible as long as we do our
mitzvos as long as we practice this
kafiya
hashem will reveal himself to us and
give us everything we need bagashmi is
have a great and blessed week
