welcome to our class and Siddhas this
week we'll be learning at civic
discourse of the rebel that the rebus
said in Shaba spacious mottos and
Messiah which was before him the high -
Menachem of in the year Tufts in rough
tests which was 51 years ago it's based
on several verses in this week's Torah
portion well it speaks about the tribe
of Reuben and the tribe of God where the
Torah says how quote diverse omec net
rava
hiya love Nehru veña veña God that for
the tribe of Reuben and the tribe of God
they had a lot of cattle and as the
verse says obsolete tremendous amounts
of cattle and they would graze the
cattle out in the fields and it's hard
tells us we can a monkey monkey Michener
this was a place which was great to be
able to take care of a lot a lot of
sheep so they turned to moisture and
they said by you and they said in
Massaro Jemez at all if we find favor in
your eyes utanasana it's also Islam and
I forgive your servants this land as an
inheritance everyone's gonna have an
inheritance in the Land of Israel give
us on this side of the Jordan I'll tell
iranian say yeah they do not take us
over the Jordan into the Land of Israel
willing to stay here so the rebel
mirages in a civic discourse which was
100 years before the Rebbe said this
discourse in a tough stuff test so it
was a tough race tough test so obviously
it's a hundred years from when the Rebbe
said it and it's today would be 151
years so in this sort of discourse
tirage says what was it that motivated
and that was behind the idea that Rene
drove a number named God did not want to
go over to Jordan everybody wants to go
to the Land of Israel they're willing to
sacrifice that so that their cattle
shall have a place to eat and to feed
them whoa what was the real reason
so the dr. Rashi explains based on a
Civic discourse of the altar ever with
the outer explains the difference
between Yosef atomic and all the other
tribes
what was the difference so we know that
the tribes they just wanted to take care
of sheep they did not want to be
involved with worldly ideas they do want
about be involved with business they
didn't want involved with people they
just wanted to live a spiritual life now
why is that because their goal was to
cleave Taschen they want to be one with
our son they felt like that if they had
got involved with business and with
people alone with industries and
politics etc that would take away from
them cleaving touch them so they pick
for themselves of life they had cattle
they took care of it that so they fed
their families yes that's how they
that's how they were able to support
support himself without having to meet
and be involved in this physical world
and whatever the world resembles that
was wooed the tribes yosef on the other
hand we know Yosef was totally involved
in the business world
he ran the country Evita Egypt he was a
he's a great leader nevertheless even
though he was involved in business and
he was a great leader he still cleave to
God 100% and as the Rebbe says we know
that the all the tribes all the tribes
Joseph and all the tribes they were all
holy each and our way because it says
Myakka lived with me totally Schlemmer
so obviously they there it wasn't like
one was right the one was wrong Yosef
was right in his approach the tribes are
right and their approach but the
question is how does that work they're
both right knows the obviously there's a
reason why each one is right and was
right for that person so it was right
for yo save was right for you but
obviously not for the tribes and was
right for the tries was right for the
tribes and obviously not for your use of
atomic what is the reason for it so
turbid so the outer explains and the
obvious the rubber coat said from their
Mirage it says as follows that the
source everyone in this world we come
from somewhere everyone has a showing us
we have a root so the
algebra says the Salish the root for the
12 tribes excluding your safe was from a
spiritual level called
good days Bakker Dubya 12 cattle of the
world of B R stands for Bria it's Syrah
asiye which really it seriousiy or what
they all have in common that is the
world where it's P root where it's not
necessarily one with the only thing you
see is God in godliness there's already
a Bria
creation and something else exists can
see Reformation and I was in the world
of ASEA there's a physical world so what
they have in common beyond Bria you'd
see Razia
it's the world of separation on some
level from God
and godliness even though the truth is
nothing's really separate from God's but
it looks like there's a separation now
since the tribes their source their
service was from your base buckler of
debía
which is place Lee a place that the
source is there's an illusion of a
separation and disconnect from God so
they were concerned that since they were
prone because of their source if they
got involved in the world there would be
disconnected from them and they did not
want to be disconnected from our Sun so
because they didn't want to be
disconnected for our shrimp they chose
to be taking care of the Sheep and this
way there would be like in a safe zone
and they wouldn't be distracted from the
world so that applies to who to the
trucks on the other hand what was the
surest of yourself so we all know Yosef
was called Sonic L Union a high level of
itself at Sonic and his cherish was the
world of absolute what is the world
about see Lord the world of our till we
know it comes from eight cells right
next to our sin where everything is
unified in the world about see though
that the only thing you see physically
spiritually even in the illusion it's
only a shell you only see not only the
part of a sudden you see the actors
Hashem
that's really all about a Shem as the
Zohar says in reference to the world of
absolute and I'll quote it in Hebrew and
I'll translate it or an Aramaic you the
hey Akkad EU the gourmet oka that means
the light and the vessel where usually
the vessel is distinct from the light
it's all one
in the world of Attilan is all one so on
the level of a sinless recursive search
was there's no difference physical
spiritual business leadership people
sheep there's no distraction it's all
one so therefore you see if they didn't
have an issue with being involved in the
world because the world wouldn't
distract for him as his source was the
world about sinless so based on this the
out the based on this difference at the
outer explains the between Joseph then
he was from the source of oneness and
therefore he had no issue with being
involved in the world and the tribes
were the source from good days Bukka the
BI different they had an issue of being
involved in the world so based on this
surah she explains you know why the
tribe of God and the tribe of Reuben
wanted to stay in the other side of the
Jordan was because they wanted to be in
a place of cattle because they didn't
want to be distracted from the Shem
they wanted a clear Tosh him and they
felt like had they crossed over the
Jordan and had to deal with world that
would take away from this traction with
Hashem that is the first piece in the
discourse with their be quotes a senator
description liberal Arash who explains
the idea based on the teaching of the
altar Emma so here in the second chapter
the outdoor ever ask a simple question
beautiful explanation it's great however
the Arab Mirage does not explain the
difference why if that's the case at the
Bonet God the many roofing wanted to
stay in one side of the Jordan so they
can stay connected to Hashem and they
won't have to be involved in air to
stroll and with the world with with
worldly things God for they would get
disconnected so how come the tribes did
one across the Jordan and go tears
Israel that's the question rubber asks
so lemme explains this based on a
Midrash the mattress has like this that
since God Andrew vain knows the children
of God the children ruin the tribe of
God the Triborough vain they were very
very careful when they passed her the
sheep they would not steal they only
took them to a place I belong to
or a place that was ownerless to belong
to everybody so therefore because they
were so careful not to steal saw Shem
gave them an inheritance a place we're
they will have the opportunity to be
able to take care of the sheep without
stealing and that's why the verse said
well hardly refer to the place and Lee
on the side of the Jordan where they
were or what they wanted to keep it by
anyhow mocking mocking McNutt which
means it was a place to graze the sheep
and because they were careful not
stealing
therefore Hashem gave them that place as
a gift again to underscore that there
was something unique and something
special and different about the tribe of
God moving and they were very very
careful not to god forbid steal and
that's why they we see the place on the
on that side of the Jordan that is one
meadows now what does that mean on a
spiritual level they were careful not to
steal so in a spiritual level we know
there's something which is called we
have a spiritual void in this world
which is called avoid us hobby ruin our
job in this world is avoid arts work
spiritual work to be navara which means
in this physical world that we're in so
it looks like it's a physical world
but the true reality is why we in this
physical world because in this physical
world whether it's in food whether it's
in drink whether it's in places there's
holy sparks are avoided in this world is
to elevate those holy sparks so that's
why for example when you sit down to eat
when you want to take a drink you make a
blessing before ends why because it's a
holy spark that's in there that needs
that blessing to be elevated or for
example the mall shuttle says when you
come to a place anywhere you are you
traveling say it var Torah sheer Torah
thought discussing the and Torah why
because the place wants wants to it
needs to be elevated and by you doing
something holy and spiritual you're
actually elevating the place that you're
in so therefore there are a job of
avoidance of Miriam on a spiritual level
if you think about it it's like really
stealing why because the place is
is there it's doing its thing the food
is doing its thing the drink is doing
its thing
what are you coming along and you're
yanking out the godly spirit which is a
spiritual form of stealing you're
pulling out the godly spirit so in other
words just like on a spiritual level
that the B'nai got in the groove and
wanted to stay in one side run because
they don't want to steal anything
physical they want the same thing also
in a spiritual level they didn't want to
be busy in the land of Israel would
avoid the Cimmerian to having to steal
these holy sparks they just want to live
a beautiful simple peaceful life and
which is interesting is the rebel brings
the famous story where which is another
mattress that mattress says that when
Yaakov met a sub and we know that they
were are they ISA want to kill Yakko see
a crusade to relax these two worlds
there is the oil imposter the physical
world with pleasure enjoyment
materialism and Israel haba spiritual
world let's make a deal you take the
whole physical world you take oil hazzah
and everything associated with
materialism and I'll take oil Harbor so
ASA said voila we have a deal
wonderful and they actually agreed item
hablas gonna belong to yak or even a
little house is gonna belong pesos what
happened
Asaph went to labour we all know he got
married two wives two concubines here
the tribes there and he became very very
wealthy he's travelling back on his
journey and he sub meets him and ISA
sees that Yaakov was there with his
wives with his children and when all the
wealth the cattle and the jewelry and
all the tremendous wealth that he had so
a sucess Thiago Eve what's this we made
up that the physical world is mine the
spiritual world is yours what are you
doing with all these things you know
there was you're stealing obviously
Yaakov wasn't looking for the physical
of the physical part he was looking to
elevate the holy sparks in the physical
world the physical world surely ISA
could have but to hold he was going out
I'm hard but that was buried in this
world but nevertheless you see that when
you do the avoiding the avoidance of a
room as we see in the case of Yaakov and
a so it's called stealing and the proof
is that II still call them out on it
so because of that been a garden a
roofing did not want to go into the Land
of Israel because they didn't want to be
involved in stealing any sparks they
just wanted leave me alone of the live a
spiritual life without having to elevate
etc now so from the med Jewish it seems
from the metro seems the fact that they
wanted to stay on the side of the Jordan
without crossing over because they
didn't want to steal obviously on a
physical level it's a great thing it's a
nice compliment they did not want to
steal and that's why they got it as a
gift
however there's another mentorship that
other writer says that unfortunately
look at this the burn a garden a Reuben
they took the main thing and they made
it secondary and they took the secondary
it made it the main thing why because
look what they did here you have the
whole Jewish people going into the Holy
Land of Israel which is much holier than
the land on the other side of the Jordan
and here look what he good they took the
main thing Israel and they gave it away
for their money they made their money
the main thing and they gave way to
spirituality in other words they loved
physical things more than the spirit so
Dementors think I was something negative
which actually goes in line with the
spiritual understanding of the first
measures because according to the first
Madras if you look at simply that they
didn't want to steal okay was it was a
it was a compliment to them but if you
look the spiritual significance they
didn't want to steal but it means that
means they didn't want to elevate the
sparks it's a negative thing which is in
line with the other medrash that they
did not cross over and it says look you
made the you made the main thing the
secondary thing you focused more on the
money verses on the spirit is
spirituality of life now
okay so that is basically the idea why
the Bonet garden reroofing DAF cos
pacifically wanted to stay in one side
on a simple reason again they wanted a
state because they want to steal they
don't want to get a mountain ceiling on
a spiritual reason they don't want to
cross over because they don't want to be
involved in elevating the holy sparks
they didn't want to envelop eight the
the sparks in the world which obviously
was not necessarily a great thing so now
comes moisture rub a no moisture beam
was the leader of the Jewish people and
he gives a look and he sees open ain't
guardin a Reuben are doing and he tells
them and he rebukes them why did he
rebuked them because moisture obey know
saw that they didn't want to go onto
land of is a lot of spiritual reason
because they don't want to elevate the
sparks so moisture any rebukes them but
what's the point of him rebuking them
what what's the way a leader really
rebukes that rebukes plague our burgoo
vain so he sounds like this we all know
that the job of a leader and especially
moisture obey know who is a very very
high level is to bring the level in the
Sphero the level of das and as we know
this cause bar which is wisdom be no
understanding and then there's das das
is the ability to apply everything
you're learning now when dance is a
central sphere oh so it's an important
sphere through das you can apply what
you're learning because without dust you
can learn great and beautiful ideas but
you can't apply it
das is the ability to apply it so the
job of moisture of a know is to bring
gas even into the level of someone that
is in the level of zero bahama which as
we mentioned before the tribes where
their source was you would give your
days but uh Bukka from beyond so they
were on the level of an animal from
beyond so much remainders job was to
bring das in there that they should not
be afraid from dealing with the world
they should not be afraid of trying to
elevate the sparks as the Torah says
clearly in reference to moisture rain
was a torsade burn Asante a
said basalt columns fo moisture man his
job was to give food to our animal soul
now how is moisture being able to do
that because we as we know that moisture
obey know was somewhere from a limit of
a coelom absolute he was actually called
neshama de ma he was a very very high
level of a soul he was a level of a soul
about Sealand so because he was in such
a high level he was drawing down das
Elian not dasa be a badass alien which
is actually not only from our ceiling
according to Kabbalah it was somewhat
das telling which is hired from atilla's
and he was able to draw down that level
of das into the idea of das of the art
so therefore since moisture Boehner was
in such a high level his job was to draw
down - of Achilles there's just like the
way not sillas what do we see it's only
SM it's only the once much time so he
draws down that level of das into BR or
for example as you mentioned before
you'd base bucker we are and therefore
one there when you're when you're
involved in the world you're able to not
be distracted by it
how did mush remain to go ahead and do
that so therefore my Serena told them
that in order for them to stay on that
side of the Jordan but you have to get
the message and the mission that really
life is not about staying on the other
side and staying away from the world but
you have to engage in the world so make
sure waiter inspired am I telling them
if you want to stay there as a leader I
can't just let you stay there I need to
infuse you and inspire you to be willing
to go on mysterious nefesh because when
you go on mysterious nefesh when you're
willing to self-sacrifice for the Jewish
people and for Judaism then you will
bring in within you the level of das
bacillus into your world and then you
won't be have that you won't be afraid
of engaging in the world and you'll have
the power and the ability to do that and
that's why moisture being made a deal
with them is if you want to stay there
no problem what do you have to do you
have to cross the Jordan and you have to
fight a next man forget the fight in
front of them once they conquer the land
and everyone is settled and you've been
infused with mysterious nephesh then you
will be able to go back onto the other
side of the Jordan why is that because
the way it works is energy stalls the
highest level that's the highest level
of spirituality Eretz command before
they conquered it was it lower the other
side of the Jordan is even lower and
then there's the whole world because
they were going back to the other side
of the Jordan which is technically part
of artists role but nevertheless the
lower level they have to go through the
mysterious nefesh so that they can bring
the level of das about Zyliss in to
their lives and based on this theory
explains beautifully the beginning of
this week's Torah portion of practice
masters the beginning of Tarapore spots
Martha says as follows by a damper
moisture moisture of a no speaks El
Roche the hands of her mattress of the
tribes and he tells them the laws of
ishke and either nether the laws of
making an oath and how you make the oath
and how about if you make it oh that you
want to take it away that a huh from
someone that's a wise person could go
ahead and take away the oath not only
can you take it away but you can take it
away from begin with and it's not even
an oath to begin with and Torah says
lamerz there have governed this is the
word as a sugar shell so the Rebbe
explains what is the whole idea that the
hakama holcomb has the power to take
away Noth you made an oath so if you
made an oath you're not going to do
something how can you go ahead and do it
where's the calm have the power to do it
on a spiritual level never explains like
this what is the idea of an oath another
what's the detonator
another the dynamic the mechanics of
another is the things that are
permissible whatever may be food drink
places people that's permissible and you
make another what means in there you're
separating yourself in it so Ned there
is a vow of separation weird a
separation start in the world of the
spirit so we know the world of the co2
when separation starts if you start we
have ten co-signing Kassar
Mabini das and the emotions the the
world of separation starts in the sphere
of bina in the sphere of bina that's
where the that's where the separation
starts why is that because up until bina
kasih tiny grocery and hokhmah that is a
humble serie
there's there's no existence yet of
anything anything other than Hashem
however when Venus starts that's what he
has to start that's where the ego kicks
in so because that's when the ego kicks
in so that's why bina is connected to
the idea of a vowel and that's we have
to make a separation so when do you need
a separation if you're connected ashram
there's no separation you connect to
touch them but when you feel a
disconnect in bina is when you start
feeling the disconnect you start feeling
the eating yes just the arrogance that's
what you have to make a vow to separate
yourself for it however when it comes to
hokhmah we know what does Cockell mean
to call you act the power the ability of
MA to say what is it what is what when
someone's able to say what is it that's
a that's a sign of humility in other
words in Hebrew is called hokhmah is the
level of bit or limit sealed
we're totally nullified so in other
words on the level of hokhmah where
person is totally humbled there's no
reason to make about and the world is
that doesn't is that doesn't get in the
way when does the world get in the way
we have to make a vow veena in the level
of Kozma which totally bottle you're not
distracted and you don't have to make of
that so therefore if you want to anole
about what does the Torah tell you have
to go to Rococo because on the level of
hokhmah there is no Val to begin with
it's not like he has to make a bet he
has to figure out a way to break it he
rips out the velvet there's no veil to
begin with because I know once you reach
the level of cosmic level a bit tall
there's no separation it's really all
our sin and that's why it's interesting
that the in the Talmud you shalini it
says
mushiya comes or when a person's life is
over and they go through your life and
it's very interesting Talmud that you're
gonna have to give an accounting for
every thing that you saw that was kosher
food every drink that you saw that was
kosher that you didn't stop make a
blessing and easier drinkers why because
since there's a holy spark in there we
have a mandate to elevate the holy
sparks now why do we stay away from
things because on the level of beena
we're in a lower level so we stay away
from it but if you're on the higher
level you should only see the holy
sparks an elevated you shouldn't be
afraid to elevate it so mushiya comes
through after 120 you're gonna have to
give an accounting why you missed that
opportunity to elevate the holy spark
and based on this Tara explains
beautifully that's the that's the that's
the way the verse goes by a debris
moisture moisture Boehner spoke el
Russia Hamas so what is what is it that
what is the spiritual understanding of
the verse matter is a reference to our
emotions Martha's thick power emotions
Roche is the head of the emotions what's
the head of the emotions be no because
the emotions come from be no moisture
moisture resent represent represents
hokhmah so the way it works is Myesha
who's Cosmo brings down into being or
the level of Cosmo which goes down into
the mid oat and when you have the avoid
aware moisture comes from Kaufman into
being on to the me dog then your ought
to run away from the world you can
engage in the world why because even
that you're engaging in the world which
is separated from us M because moisture
signing shining within you on you're
able to you have the power to elevate
the world and that's why the Torah says
further is there how daughter why is
there a lover because we all know
there's a difference in prophecy between
moisture Boehner and all the other
prophets all the prophets when they
prophesy didn't Koya Koya mercy and this
is what Hashem said wasn't clear wasn't
exactly moisture of Anderson's II this
is exactly what Hashem said why because
monisha has the clarity through hoc more
to see exactly what Hashem said when
Hashem wants from us and not to be
afraid in the world
we can deal with the world in a way of
Zaire we can be clean clear and we do
not have to again be afraid to being a
distractor in the world so in other
words I guess even though our source is
from youth base Bucer to BI and we can
technically be distracted but through
Zen and over if we connect to might
remain which is the clarity we will have
the power not to be distracted and
whoever finishes off beautifully and he
says we all know that trailer comes from
the word of high royal tyrrell which
means to learn tire constant a word of
lesson everything in that you time you
learn tire you have to ask yourself what
lesson ever can I take away from this
Torah teaching and the lesson there ever
says you can take away it's very very
simple that we need to have both forms
of service just like the tribes of God
and the tribe of Reuben one hand we know
they inherited the land we're on the
other side of Jordan they inherited the
land was the other side they wanted
peace and tranquility that's great but
on the other hand they were willing and
they were ready and they actually went
I'm a serious nefesh so another so you
need to have both avoiders the avoid of
your own space but the seriousness of
someone else
well like driver says the exact would
indeed like the difference between the
advice which are more living in a
intellectual world and the SWAT team
that engaged the world or to use another
term driver brings a Kabbalistic term
you need to have both they avoid of you
who they a law and the avoid of you hood
it's a talk which I'll explain what they
are so there's the goal in life is we
should be one with Hashem Astana Shem is
one now there's two ways to approach it
this one is you who the a law which
means the only thing to begin with you
see is a Shem there's nothing that
exists other than a sham you could mean
it's a oneness alots a high level of
awareness
what's your hoodie Tatar that's a low
level of oneness there's me there's the
world but nevertheless I cleave touch
them to different avoiders and as a
yarder abbring says so what's our avoid
in this world you could the law we
shouldn't be disconnect
in the world or we should be connected
forward and in the world of CSM and
thesaurus says clearly our main avoid in
this world is they avoid of you who
teach at all the avoider of connecting
to our sin within the world we should be
involved in the world and connect to
ourself create the oneness within the
world however the problems were too
involved in the world we can get
distracted and it will be complete so in
order to create the completion of the
hood avatar you have to have the bittle
the humility of you who there law and
that will keep you on high why because
in you could eat at all you exist you
one with a shell but when you exist
there's a useless theorem so you need
the humility of your food a law which
blends together with the idea of the
hooded to talk and therefore there
brings a famous story that the people of
Jericho they wanted just issued a law
they wanted just need one with Hashem so
different when they said SH MA and they
say smile this is my astronomers at Cana
or SEM at hard efforts peeks at the
wonders of a salmon straight from the
air from the waters of a sham they went
into back after I love Hashem no world
how do we say smile we say SH man the
one is Messiah then we say Barack shank
avoid mouth who say learn about we bring
down the infant or I ever sent into
mouth who say into the world into oil
omen to the world so but the people of
Jericho they don't want to do it they
just want to live in the level of you
could a long and it says the Colombian
we're not happy with that because yes
it's great you want have you heard a lot
but you have to bring the powerful
energy in this world which we all know
that's the same that same idea between
you who'd enjoy safe yo she was involved
in the world
you who the represent representing the
tries for disconnected and the goal is
that you who Daniels have should meet up
that we should have the high level you
could a law the low level always meeting
up now where do we get the strength
because it takes a lot of energy on one
hand you're saying you should be
involved in the world on the other hand
you're saying you should have the
humility in other words you want to have
the inspiration that's really all one on
the other hand we're dealing with the
world so where do we get the strength
that we're able to fuse the tool that we
see clearly from
her says bowdabra moisture moisture
Aveeno the neshamah Vasilis gives us the
power and the ability that we can live
in the world we can interact in the
world but as we live and we interact in
the world we have to remember that
really all our power comes from a sham
and it's really all about creating the
light of a sham in a revealed way in
this world which is a blend and it's an
art but if we connect to moisture banal
and moisture of our generation we will
have the power and the ability to create
that true beautiful oneness in this
world thanks so much for joining us two
arcs to this class and we look forward
to continuing to learn to this because
so this gives us the ability and
opportunity to live in the world bought
