The Kabbalah of Matzah מצה זו שאנו אוכלים על שום מה A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class insidis we're going to be learning this week a beautiful hasidic discourse in honor of the upcoming yomtev holiday of pesach the name of the hasidic discourse is called matzah zoo this matzah referring to the monster that we're going to eat in honor of pesach the rebels said this discourse on the 13th day of the month of nisan the night before the 14th day of the month of nisan in the year tough shin mem tess exactly 32 years ago and never went on to certify and edit this specific discourse on on that era pesach 30 years ago 32 years ago in the year tough shin memphis so the civic discourse is called matsuzu based on what we say in the haggadah matzah zoo this monster that we're eating the weed on on on pesach so the haggadah says al-shumah why are we eating the mats on pesach so the goddess says assume because when the jewish people left egypt there was no time for the matzah to rise uh why archer [ __ ] ready to take them out of egypt there was no time so that's the reason why we eat the matzah that's what it says in the elgato so the rabbit brings from different hasidic discourses and he says like this what are we saying we're sitting by the cedar and we're saying why we're eating the matzah because there was no time for the dough to rise because hashem was taking us out of egypt but one second if you look in the torah before they left egypt they were already instructed to eat matzah before so what we're saying because when they left there was no time to rise but they were already instructed beforehand to eat the matzo and rubber explains like this because when hashem commanded the jewish people to eat the monster what does it say in the torah so it says in the evening you should eat matzo now matsuys could be spelt mem with out of of so it's called hussert's missing the v and it could also be spelled mem sadiq vavsaf and that's called molly it has the valve inside so when hashem commands the banay israel so the word matzo he says mem sadik soft without the letter of insight however when the torah describes by yoifu sabatsek when they bake the bread that they took out of mitsrayim [Music] so with thee if you look in the territory it says that with it with extra valve in there so again to be clear this twice in the torah where it speaks about the jewish people eating a monster one the biblical commandment to eat matzah the era of turkle monsters over there it says matzois with out of of and then when it speaks about when they left egypt that they they baked the the mata and there was no time for it to rise over there it says mount with above now so the command to eat matzoh that's which command before khasis before midnight in the evening before midnight so when it says matzo with without of it's referring to the command to eat the manzaniforce now what's why so why does that say with out of of and represents very simple because before khatsayis where were they they were in egypt what does that mean they were in egypt practically that's before the great revelation of [ __ ] that's before hashem revealed himself so since it's before the revelation so matt's voice is missing it's kasir it's missing what's it missing it's missing the evolve we know the vault is drawing down energy we didn't have the revelation however in the verse where it says that they bake the bread to break the bed referring to the matzo that he took out of egypt when is that referring to that's referring to the monster they baked and they ate after they left egypt the the brought sake the dough that they that they they took out of egypt when did they when did they bake that when did they eat that that was after midnight what does that mean after midnight it means after hashem revealed himself so because it's after hashem revealed themselves so therefore it says matzah with a vote now based on this so again just to be clear so there's two different matzos there's the monster where commanded eat before east that's before the revelation that's why mata says we're out of of there's the monster that we where that we ended up eating and taking out of insurance so since your shaman was revealed already so it says monster with a love so based on this whoever explains something very powerful so if you give a look in the torah in reference to the matzo beforehand that means before hashem was revealed one without above so what does it say you have to watch the matzo which means you have to watch and make sure it doesn't become comments however when it comes to the matzah which is after katsuri's so it says they baked the dough it happened to me it was matzah and it wasn't humans it was on its own it didn't come to comets it was the master before commanded make sure it does not come from it's make sure it's matzah the one after grazing doesn't say that why because the mata before khatsa is since there was no revelation of hashem hashem wasn't revealed yet so we have to make sure it doesn't become comets however the matzah after khatsav which is mali which devotee means hashem is revealed which you have the gilui the revelation of so you don't have to watch it not become comment for sure it's not going to come comes asham is revealed nothing becomes comments the ego is gone there's no ego it's automatically going to be matzah now so we there's a clear distinction between the monster they ate beforehand and the after katsuri's to recap the matzah before katsuri's was before the revelation the maps are after concise was after the revelation so therefore the matzah before khashoggi says what out of of the monster with after qatar he says with above and also the matzah before kharsa is because it wasn't the revelation that to make sure it didn't become khames and the monster afterwards didn't have to make sure it's automatic our sermon is revealed nothing becomes comments everything stays pure humble and holy now so there ever says like this this difference between the matzah before khatsuri's the three differences knows the matzah the the before katrice no v no revelation and you have to make sure doesn't it afterwards yes yes revelation and you don't have to watch out to become comments so the difference between yamatsam beforehand after godzilla's was only in the first passage jewish people celebrated which was when before martin torah however what happens after we receive the torah when do we need to pay the the masters we own the first night you have to finish before godzilla's so the matzah we eat is me focal taste we don't eat after cut soys now so one second so if we're eating the so after mountain tiger when do we eat the when do we eat the monster before cuttings so if we're eating it beforehand size one second what do we say before khashoggi says novo no revelation and you have to watch and become comments but nevertheless travis says even though we're eating the matsuri for khatsaris which seemingly it's the matzah without the love but nevertheless on a spiritual level it is the matzah which has the love why because we're after we're after you'd see us from trying so we even so we have even though it's with technique beforehand to commemorate eating the masala mitzrayim but since we're after mountain toyota after you see us in trying so it does so it's in the level of the monster with the valve and on the level where hashem is revealed and that's why it says matsuzu this much that we're eating today when are we eating it we're eating it beforehand says why are we eating it so we're eating it because it did not rise on its own because hashem revealed himself and what are we referring to the mats of after katsuri's why because even though we're eating it before khasi it nevertheless has the power and the energy of the revelation and that's why we say specifically we're eating it because it did not rise now so that's after mutton terry nader says like this this match that we're eating today after matan torah which we just said it's on the level the higher level the level of the we have the valve and the revelation of hashem there are evidences that's actually even higher than the matsois with the vowel that the bernay struggle ate on the first passage after mutton toast now today it's even higher why very simple because today the rubber says we have the revelation where after the revelation of hashem revealed himself and also but more importantly we do something which is called a satan hebrew and i'll translate we do something which is called avodah we do spiritual work today what's our spiritual work this physical work and the spiritual work what's our spiritual work when we learn torah it's work you have to rip yourself away from the world you have to dedicate your time you have to focus in and you have to learn torah there's a lot of distractions out there everyone knows their distractions but nevertheless you're able to shut off your phone and the internet and whatever your distractions are mental emotional physically you sit down and learn pirates you're learning torah the torah itself is not an avoider you're connected to hashem but to disconnect from the world and to learn it's an avoider doing a mitzvah is also an avoid you have to do this and you can't do that then certain mitzvahs take a lot of effort and take a lot of resources so today we have something which is called we have the power and the benefit of avoiding which means doing our spiritual work which is in reference to learning terror and doing mitzvos not only now before pace a whole year a whole year we're doing our spiritual work we're learning torah we're doing mitzvahs we're busy a whole year dedicating ourselves to hashem so because we do a whole work we do our verdo of learning toyota and doing mitsubishi calms pesach and we're each eating the matzo so our shrimp is revealed in our life revealed in life not because hashem revealed himself true because he shall reveal himself but more importantly besides the fact that hashem revealed himself because we do the avoid of learning torah and doing mitzvos is revealed in our life much stronger and much deeper and it's more perfect it's more personal it's more meaningful we worked on the relationship and ruby gives an example just like for example the um the uh power that takes place on the revelation of the holiday of schwart which is called not interested in how they receive the torah which we know that in schwarz is a tremendous revelation hashem reveals himself it gives gives us the torah we reconnect hashem to the torah now the holy shrus is very very powerful why because the holiday is comes we all know after spherus arimur what's virus for 49 days for seven weeks every day we're counting though we're not just recounting we're doing a blessing which is that's important but every single day we're working on our middle to working on our emotions every one of our seven emotions connect with one within the other so we do the avoidance so what happens is svuis is a very powerful meaningful holiday because for seven weeks we worked hard spiritually kabat has a customer every single day you learn a a page and attracted of of the uh of sota but there's many things people do on this on the 49 days of spherus armor we don't do certain things we do certain things so there's a lot of work so when you come to schwuiz after working for 49 days whoa that's a serious holiday on the other hand the revelation of yetis from trying going out of egypt even though hashem revealed himself a creation by all the plagues etc which is huge stuff but nevertheless hashem revealed himself what did we do nothing hashem chose with his infinite love and kindness to reveal himself so when hashem reveals himself the revelation is huge possibly even greater than shus however it's fleeting it's only for a moment a moment whether it's a moment or fi whatever a short period of time any revelation that's a gift possibly a huge gift it's only temporarily on the other hand when a person does the avoid of spherus aimer which in kabbalah it's called avoid this when we do our work knows obviously it came after the revelation of the obitius mensarium that inspired us into our work but still once we do our work what happens is then we reach besides the fact that we reach the avodah spheres which is 49 days in kabbalah it's called 49 gates we climb 49 spiritual gates and after we climb the 49 spiritual gates of sphere 7 which is actually 49 days then not only do we attain the 49 gates of connection with hashem we also have the we have the gift and the ability when we actually reach the 50th gate now the 50th even though we don't count it but it comes through our avoida and if we don't do 49 days you're not getting the 50th so 49 we proactively do the work and then as a result of the 49 days doing the work we receive the 50th as a gift of our void of 49 days now even in the gift of the 50th that we receive as a gift so we know in everything that exists is the external and the internal part so driver says what what's up we get the 50 is so besides the fact that we get the lower part of the 50th the 50th part where it's connected to the 49 like for example we know there is an example we know in this euro the highest sphere we know is called kesser um crown in caster there's two levels the higher level is attic and the lower level is arach is more connected to the middle east of intellect etc and arctic is more collect connected to the im to the slave of kalam above nature so so besides the fact that we get the 50th level the lower level which is connected to the 49 just like for example arith in the sphere of of kassair the same thing also we also achieve the higher level of 50th which um which is higher than the 49 levels just like the part of arctic which is part of castle which is totally connected to a much higher level um which so and and this level that we reach um through the avoider of working the 49 days is much higher and much greater and much more powerful than what going out of egypt so in other words the point i was making is that when we do our avoid a whole year a whole year we learn torah we did mitzvot et cetera so when we eat the matzah it's not only that we're getting the level of the revelation of hashem the matzah with the love but we're also getting the impact of the aravoida and whoever takes it a step further and he says like this you can possibly as follows the quality of the matzah that we eat now after mutton torah which um which is greater even than the matzah that they ate when they went out of egypt the first year after katsuri's in other words he said like this so besides the fact that we just mentioned that we today have the power of the avoid of the whole year of learning terror and doing mitzvahs but there are some something else more powerful that we have today by eating matzah the power that we have today by eating matzah is the fact that eating mats on pesach is a mitzvah so when they ate matzo when they left egypt it wasn't a mitzvah however when we monsters are mitzvah we're filling a mitzvah so besides the fact that we have our avodah the whole year of terror mitzvos which creates the matzah experience much more powerful much deeper the revelation of shame is much deeper but also in wheat matzah it's actually a mitzvah why he never explains like this because the mata that the bernays swirl ate when they left egypt and even after khatsukis when she revealed themselves why why did they eat the matzo very simple the torah says and we say it in haggadah there was no time for it to rise so in other words the reason why it's mattered not because they chose it shouldn't rise if there was no time which basically means in kabbalah it's called it's from a revelation above the reason why we ate matzah was a revelation of others revealed himself there was no time for it to rise guess what we're eating matzo um so there wasn't there was no avoider there they didn't work on it the whole year learning terror and doing mitzvahs it wasn't a mitzvah however the matzah that we today after mata torah is connected with two points one is avoid adam our spiritual work learning torah and doing mitzvos and the second component which is an important component is that the matzah that we today we're doing it as a mitzvah now rubber asks a very very simple question he says like this what are we saying matzuzu this much that we're eating why are we eating it in the gutter we say this matzah by the sader that we can all say this week why we eating the smart cell because there was no time for it to rise one second we just learned that the matzah after martin toyra has tremendous power what's the power avoid we learned terror a whole year we did miss us a whole year also the matzo that we're eating is a mitzvah and not only a mitzvah but it's a mitzvah after mountain torah so why do we say that this matzah were eating was because there was no time to rise in other words we are saying that there was no time to rise what does that mean the reason why it's matzah and not comments it just happened to be there was no time but it wasn't intentional there was no time for it to become comets the statement we're making is the reason why we're eating it there was no time that means it's not intentional so happens to be didn't become comments it could have became comets but we're saying no the matzo eating takes a mitzvah to matzah we did the avoid the whole year so how did the two go together so the rabbit explains something very very deep and very powerful he says like this we know that on pesach besides the fact that we have a mitsuti matzah there's a mitzvah on pesach of sipur yetius mitraim we have a mitzvah we have a commandment that we have to tell the story of going out of egypt not only do we have to tell the story of going out of egypt we have to tell the story of exactly the way it was then we have to tell the story of exactly what happened then that is ryan you'd see us when it's trying that we have which is a mitzvah we need to know this method because we have to do it we have to tell the story of exactly what happened then and that's the hug of them if you read the tells you the story of what happened so you have to read it you have to think about it you got to discuss it you have to get into it because you have to tell the story of exactly what happened then now a step further and never says actually this is the main point because the fact is like this when we read the story of the haggadah so we read about our ancestors then we have to personalize it and this is the important part it's part of it's literally part of the mitzvah what would be if hashem didn't take us out of egypt think for a moment if hashem didn't take us out of egypt you start shaking oh my gosh where would we be today we would be today mishubhadim hayinu the pyramids ryan we would be every one of us would be slaves to power in egypt if hashem didn't take this take us out so therefore today and especially obviously in the night of pesach we're going to celebrate pesach um shabbos and sunday night the two snoring but a whole week of pesach so even though today we're at it we're here egypt is history we're after the whole idea of going out we're out of egypt we're not in egypt anymore and not only we're not of egypt we already received the turk past tense on a physical level but nevertheless because the mitzvah is to tell the story of the way it was and to meditate and realize that we didn't if we didn't we didn't go out of egypt we would still be there so we have to experience this situation of egypt exactly the way it was then we have to feel it we have to experience it we have to put we have to internalize it of exactly what went on in egypt and god forbid if we weren't taken out so therefore since we're reliving it we're reliving we're like going back in time we're going back in time to literally the situation the way it was then now so since we're going back in time and we're like so to speak putting ourselves back in egypt and now we're also taking ourselves out of egypt so therefore what do we have to we're telling the story and the story has to be real and it has to be alive so therefore now so again we put ourselves back in egypt and if god didn't take us out would be slaves and we have to experience a little with slaves i shouldn't take us out and then hashem takes us out so therefore we say in the hell god we're reliving the story you know monsters you know this matzo eating tonight to say there couldn't cause we're mentally and emotionally back in egypt you know eating it because guess what there was no time for it to rise and guess what hashem revealed himself and it's taking us out of egypt so like this so even though yes today we have the power of the avoided that we worked the whole year learning torah and doing mitzvos and we have the fact that it's mitzvah but it's also you can't forget that we have to relive the story and because we have to relive the story we're sharing exactly what happened there was no time for it to rise so in other words like this the matzah that we eat today went before khasis so besides the fact and here you're going to see so many levels to the match that we're eating pay attention is important there's no we're doing on pesach on a spiritual level so besides the fact that we have the superiority of the matzah before hachis the matzah beforehand that's one thing we also have the my the the the quality of the avoider our work learning torah doing missus a whole year etc we're also fulfilling hashem's command to eat mansa and just like we were commanded before martin torah but we also have the quality of the mats of after khatsas which is the quality of the fact that hashem um took us out of egypt and there was no time for it to rise which is constantly revelation of above besides that let's take it a step further the matzah that we're eating today there's also the quality of we already have the torah so within the matzah you have already the energy of the torah so we also have the energy of fulfilling a commandment besides the commandment of that we said we we lived before before we when hashem told us as if we were in egypt eat the matzah but we also have the quality of the mitzvah today after mountain toyota matsa and never takes it a step further and more than that we also have in the matzah the quality and the energy of the eating matzah of the seventh night of pesach again even though we the seventh night as well but we have within it in the first night as well which we know the seventh night is is a resource it's not an obligation to eat it then you don't have to eat mate you can eat whatever else you want fruits and vegetables obviously if you want to eat the bread so it has to be matzah but it's you don't have an obligation to eat matzo the seventh night but you have that because and because something is a restoration it's a permission you're able to you're not able to it's your choice so when you eat it's obviously much stronger so you have that quality as well and whoever says this idea the fact that it's a roshus it's it's it's similar and it's comparable and it has a component of the eating of matzah which is going to be similar to what's going to be rich when she comes do you ever finish over and it says like this it should be the will of hashem and especially it's the devil says he um it's it's it's customary there will it get uh connects things to giving out charity it gives out you know dollars to people to get the charity and he said like this just like that the end of the holiday pesach is what is the seventh day of peace is that is the the seventh is the last day of yandev it was in israel in america outside of israel the last day um is is akron and we know an akrange of in israel occurrence based on space are together and we know in akron you have the revelation of mashiach pesach and that's why we know that on the torah for akron shall pesach is all about mashiach coming and there it says he'd like to connect us also with the idea of the the uh the eighth the rest of the nations and he mentioned seven places of exile asher mitsrayam etc and then he finishes off the eighth place ea ayam all the way from the from from from all the different oceans and islands etc and he's to bring them to the level of what of shmini the level of eight what is eight eight is the situation of the ultimate uh and complete redemption and uh and god willing the the promise that hashem promised in the prophets will be fulfilled in literal sense and in every single one of the detail details and an internal way of hashem that the whole world will fill with knowing knowing das knowing yudke bufke the infant hashem kamayam just like that the water covers up everything that's in there every one of us will have a deep um understanding and connection of youtube of k the infinite light of hashem so i mean it's a beautiful acidic discourse it's a great way to get ready for pesach to realize the tremendous different levels of energy that takes place by eating the matzah besides the fact as i mentioned the the master from going out of egypt beforehand after qataris before mountain torah after mountain toyo but we have today the avoid of our tour of mitzvos we have traded the avoid because we're eating as a mitzvah and we have the importance we have to relive it they're going out of egypt and we live that if we wouldn't have gone out we would be in egypt and therefore we're eating tonight the matzah we're experiencing that component that it wouldn't have that that did it wouldn't have rise and that's how we're eating it you have tremendous qualities obviously in um in in in in the mods that we eat and more importantly everybody finishes off yeah you have the energy of sweet shall pay so let's hope we pray that we all connect on a the most deepest level have a great pesach and and and really experience true freedom with the ultimate freedom that mitch hashem our next hasidic discourse will be taught and we'll learn together in yerushalayim ir hakoidesh have a great blessed week and have a happy pesach and we should all experience true zman kherosenu the holiday of freedom
