Chai Elul Farbi 5781 - 4 Chasidic groups: Breslov Chabad Karlin Tzernobel - Chayos be enthusiastic

today is uh high elo hyaluro is the yay lettuce the birthday of the altar bird and the balsh empty of the balsham the first and then the altar rabbit is a big party tonight well is not a party kylo is a very serious day and khayelo is the beginning of all of hasidis because without the balshampton of the summer coming into the world and without the altitudes in the summer coming into the world we wouldn't have ha citizen so it's a very monumental day and i'm going to take a few minutes just to talk a little bit about this before the before the belgent uh was born the overall yiddish judaism in in europe in that part of the world in poland and in in that in region was very depressed and that's because there were these two things that took place that really made the jewish people feel very very down very broken and gave up in the they had a big we spoke about this the other day refuge they had a breakdown in their munna and what happened is a was something physical with the helminski helminski pogroms of 16 i think 48 or 58 and 49 59 those were very very bad pogroms and many eden nebuchad killed that was devastating the next terrible thing that took place was more on a spiritual level the false messiahs chapter frank and different groups that proclaimed to be mashiach and misled the average you jew and it was so so alluring that even great rabbis [Music] went along with these false messiahs in various ways and this was devastating to the jewish community that there could be an individual or a group of individuals who seemed pious and honest and integr integral have integrity and nevertheless they mislead people so these two things led to a depression amongst the jewish people when the baal shem tov saw this the holy baashemptiv and by the way the baal shemptiv's name baal shemtov is not unique to him because there were already people who were called balsham the 100 years before that but the founder of the hasidic movement he realized that there was a very big schism between the regular people and the talbot where the regular people were honored and appreciated and the re and the i'm sorry and the regular people were considered ignoramuses and misfits and everything else and the balshemptov so he he saw a double problem one is spiritual and physical devastation to the jewish people and number two an overall uh demeaning of regular yidan and the balshemptov said that this is not going to get the jewish people to rebuild and to go with strength and continue through the hardest of times and the balshempta then discovered revealed better said he revealed the essence of all of tata and the essence of torah is the neshama right the soul the shama and baal shem tov said that we have to serve hashem with the neshama and in a simple way a way of joy and happiness and this was um originally as you know not accepted by the orthodox community what what today you would call the orthodox and those who was called ashkenaz community and the balchemter slowly but surely uh taught his students and particularly the margaret of his rich who taught other students one of them being the youngest being the altered from there came about mo bresliv and then and and and and many others on and on and on and the kosovar you know all many of the hasidic groups you have today were originally tell me them of the market or they were students of students yeah was a student not not i don't believe he was a direct talented democrat he was a student of a student um there are very few i think he was a student of the closet that's right thank you and the house himself the house himself i don't believe was a student of the market he was a student i think of berlin but anyway only really i told you this once you can really only find four hasidic groups today that are direct from the market uh breslav carlene stolen chabad and um from the market you would have uh the the album what the nobler and the china yes yes absolutely and also the islam the islam uh well the slava really they weren't called the slanim they were uh you see this no they came from the lekhovich is the father figure of the slan number hasidims they weren't called they were lekhovic but uh i think that chernobyl was sort of a separate line because the maori nine himself was connected to both the balchem dove and then later the maggie yeah okay fine but right okay but but he goes the murder and i am and and and his son and then they all go back and they definitely they all go back so anyway anyway when you split direct descendant of the maggie what do you mean i don't mean descendants disciple disciple in other words you know in other words let's say above above you know there was no pub over uh rabbit during the time of the market the bubble will go back to that naphtali of raptures and the rub should say it goes back [Music] the four ones that their names today you find 200 years ago i said london for example you don't find that the the father figure of the of the slaughter movement was that murder of lekhovic so he was called the lechovich it wasn't called the slanomer so you know if you want to kind of but but the the the slavamer was um uh i don't know either a son another son or a student of the lack of itching i think so so um when i met the four i meant the ones that you could you know the same chernobyler of then is the same chernobyl movement today and so with khabar and so with bresliv or bresliff stopped having rebels after abnachmann but was the breast liver so the blessing of the movement today attribute of course their their movement to the nachman and the souls also with um with caroline stolen and in fact karleen stalin really really goes back to the uh rabara i think even before the market anyway let me continue so the nakuda is that every every uh new thing in a community is always you know fraught with a skepticism and it was that way too and and uh we all know the difficulties that many of these hasidic had where some of them were imprisoned in other words were beat and the other ones were humiliated and and and on and on but at the end of the day at the end of the day it came full circle where although um today we still have you know lit the lead fishing movement and and we have a very strong literature movement but um there ever said and i could say from researching you know there are very few misnomers today there are some but they're very few it's not them in the sense of opposing cities with with uh with a in a vm and way you know where they wouldn't eat their meat then they wouldn't uh be machado with them you know you i don't i don't know if there's anyone like that and if there is you can count them on your fingers and and there ever explained many times that the the concern of the misnomer at that time was that this new group are like the false messiahs so they were very concerned and and you know step back for a second you can understand their concern here was a sharp type sv with a long beard telling you about this and this darkening three times a day and it tells you and and then they find out that he's he's a farce he's a he's a liar it's nonsense you know so here comes along about shrimp and cassidy and all of a sudden they're davening with with fervor and they're shaking and they're screaming and they're drinking bronf and musk and this and that it's like th this this is not the one second this is not the either skype that we that we were used to in ashkenaz now you know asking us germany and that region as it is are yetis everything's very proper but i'm saying even if you didn't live in that region let's say you were in poland or in russia and you came from ashkenaz descent you also felt that way i just came from shul and the balcada you know he he was definitely an artist rolled again he laned elaine nice and i happened to get nalia for kyle and i saw that he wasn't wearing a dark tool and he looks like a hostage and he's not a costume i'm convinced that he was a lit because the lit in hiroshima that's the way they are they they look like you see them but they don't wear a gargle which that's their mimic whatever so what i'm saying is that that um these nuances yeah yeah again i didn't i didn't get a chance to talk to him but he definitely felt like from the from the pollution the the kuda is that it was you have to understand where they're coming from where they're coming from is that this is not mini gov is saying it'll be ordained it's not out it's not the way we celebrated their judaism you know so you guys have to prove yourself and that ever in explaining this whole phenomenon hillary one second and explain this whole phenomenon that ever said that we did prove ourselves because three hundred years we've proved ourselves that we're striving to take our mitzvahs we we go to school three times a day we answer the same bourque and every right and and the result is that see them and and and literally have been misshaded they need each other food and and and pretty much it's uh you know it's it's it's all you know all in one in one strong part to use the expression this different meant hugging him and different dead fillers but but um you know and today i don't have to tell you but even the ponovich which is like you know one of those tops yeshivas of the literature you know they they singed out that everything in this that is not such a big hiddish anymore but they sing the rebels i mean if rafshak was alive i don't know how he would manage i mean i mean i i i think he would go with this sorry to say go down to his grave not at 102 but at 80 years old i mean it's like they were so opposed to the babbage and the rabbit and they're singing some of the so what does that tell you so you could say oh you know what it's and some problems not them probably would say those that are left they would say well we're in such a bad shape today state that we we don't have the pride it's like someone called me saturday night muscle shabbos i put out the clip this week um about yo khan knowing shas because i heard that actually someone who moved to your neighborhood to delay mr rabbi frastin you should know him you know him he dobbins that robbie pharaoh sure when he's in town he's a massive talmud hockham and he told me and i put it into my book grab yo the book of yo that i just came out with i i that that that he alert with him gomorrah in 1964 for every week several times a week and he said he could see from him he's learning that he was a genius and then he knew shas that's what he told me you know you know is he right is he wrong ask him and i and who knows but so that's what i said so alabacher who is a a massive talmud massive but he's also very wild and that's why he never was able to hold the job as a rusher shiva he's too sharp he has a very very sharp tongue so he calls me up and and he's older but we know each other when i was in yeshiva 17 years old he was like 20 21 it was an older booker so so we know each other you know so he says listen i don't know your crowd so therefore i'm not criticizing you that was his excuse but he says anyone you quoted another laboratory who also said that was was a great genius and gemara niggler he says you're being apologetic and he starts giving it to me he says that's what that's the way you talk to the literature with the literature you talk t.o.t and you and he says oh the issue is you guys you're saying to me and most libaves you can't argue it out because you don't know so much nigler you know but you don't know basically what he's saying is you don't know what i know and i have no problem looking them and and he can he can shoot down anybody he knows so much you know much niggler and he can like level you so but that that that that style that's what what are you speaking about now i don't want to say i'm not going to say who in the hospital i'm not going to tell you i'm just although called me from from a different country he called me says i have to call i have to call to tell you that i heard this and my blood god was boiling you got my blood boiling it's like he called me from very far away okay and and he had to tell me that that what he heard he says i can't i can't i'm not blaming you because i don't know who you're talking to so maybe for those people you're talking to you have to say what you said but the one of the rabbis the babies you quoted to support howard yo khan knows gemura is apologetic you don't have to apologize to anybody now that that's you know might be true but hey you have to you have to be on that level to be able to have a good debate and argue and number two that's not the way to bring a year closer to to kasitas to the river to torah that's not the way you're going to get it it's it an argument you might win the argument but lose the war right whether it was the expression so the bel shemptov and the altareb in particular took the balchemter's message and he he needed to find a way of how to impact the literature world and what he came up with is khabad why because the lit fox very feel very comfortable in an intellectual world chabad is the group of hasidim that are in the intellectual dome of understanding everything as we as you guys see we learned these my mud and these aren't uh you know you gotta you gotta keep get you know in and out and backwards and forwards and this level on that level and why right so the lit fox although they they didn't learn custodials but they had a respect they had a big respect i'm not talking about and this initially their opposition was because they were fearful that khasid and khabar are another coat once that was removed like for example i told you in the 1900s from 1900 to 1940 you could say pretty much there was a great respect between the literature community or [Music] all of them and they had a very good relationship with hasidim in general and and khabar in particular why because they they saw that that the the concerns of 200 years ago are unfounded you know just give you an example when i had the khabar house in marin county right so the neighborhood there was a planned neighborhood 538 homes they got upset and they took the county to court for granting us permission and it was a whole balagan i've told you about it what was the concern fear of the unknown what's that word there's a word in english for it i forget now uh um does anyone remember the the word in english for fear of the unknown it'll come to me later and on any little thing that happened they blew it up oh khabar is going to have 150 people come with cars it's going to take away the parking places for the swim team swims the team mothers and the soccer moms and then the lawyer for the county said to them guess what is more entitled to those parking places than you are because they're a religion and the american constitution supports religion and they have a priority over those spots saturday morning the fact is we didn't even have we you know if one or two people came by car they parked they parked a block and a half two blocks away so no one should see them coming out of the car and most of our people were were shrima shoppers so so it's the unknown the fear so the comes along the altar but brings it into seiko this is why it's so important to not just learn hasidis with faith this is this and this is that and shake your head and and give a circle and drink a lechayam and and and and go to the river once a year and then you're in no the altar was said that teresa needs anemias and as we've been learning in the my mottom of elo the whole idea of elo is bakshuv ponai espaneko hashem avakesh it's all about paninius okay now hillary wanted to say something i just had a question back when you're talking about the rochelle me too and uh suddenly occurred to me that i don't know even though i practice it um it was the garter specifically a hasidic innovation i know that there's an idea of how conor fertilla and his idea that's connected the idea like i'm dirtying your loins and so on but but was it was it a practice before hasidis uh knowing yes meaning to say the outer wearing of a garter on top of your shirt or on top of your jacket that's a hasidic practice because today we do have some literature people who do wear a garter but under their jacket have you you've never seen that yeah yeah i've been curious about it right so uh so why they're not wearing on the outside because they're not hasidic but says that there's another reason he'll for the garden was to separate between the upper and the lower parts of the body and when you say and we say feelings but now technically by wearing a shirt or even an undershirt in underwear there's a separation but say for example yeah someone comes to school in uh you know one of those in the the indian people the pakistanis they wear that whatever they call those you know right there you would need to have and if there's nothing under that you need to have a guard lock it's not it's it's a violation of allah because there's no separation between the upper and the lower but um the practice so so and why why is it hasidic because took these things and kind of they they were proud of it so they put it on the outside so technically you don't have to put it on the outside but but it was a sign of of you know that this is special to us this is special yoni i think you wanted to say something earlier no okay i don't know what what's going on what are you saying well the the ernie are home so there's noise i just want to close the door um yes the question is so if you're saying like this is like the the young this is like the yum this basically of casinos i mean the inception and everything so so what's the the whole thing like blamer i thought the whole time that he was the father is the father of kabbalah uses kabbalistic language and ideas but that's not hacidism and the basic difference is kabbalah is very abstract it's what i call the pipelines of judaism of torah in other words the right is it the left is so that that's a pipeline that's a sign you know why that is that's not kabbalah doesn't explain why is hesed the right and and and the smile the left that's where hasidis in particular chabad uses seiko logic and michelin and parables and uh to to to elaborate and explain those things so the answer to your question in brief is that that the the me the the sherman is the father of the kabbalah of the zoya etc not casitas you gotta this is very i'm glad you asked but do you follow or or you're you're still not clear no no i follow it just it's just so interesting to have you know on unlike weimer it's like it's becoming only a hasidic holiday you don't see lip bucks you know really into it at all like it's 90 something percent either spartan he's right i don't think the russian shiva of ponovich are running to a lot but they made me run you know what i'm saying in other words there's two and there's two things for that i mean one is i mean there are some not the vilna going did not deny the uh the kedusha of the zoya but there's a whole question who wrote the zayar okay and there is a group that's more in the yakusha washington heights uh german jewry that denies the authorship of the zoya i heard it from a washington heights um counselor when i was in camp morgan avram in 1977 as a co-counselor i told you that story that um how i got that job i don't want to go into the details but um i was able to use my brains to get the job in a little um uh camp and i had a co counselor from washington heights a very nice guy still remember who he was and he was telling me that uh sorry we don't accept the zohar to be attributed to the shipment so we believe in shrimp because the but to say that we know for sure that he wrote desire sorry chap that we don't agree with so there is that element also in the ashkenaz world and number two the whole idea of running to for him you know it's only recent that the the ashkenaz literature world has have made um going to for him celebrating the the you know the patera of their russian shivas and they've made it into like the casino make it into it which becomes an entire episode an event that used to not be that way it wasn't that way it doesn't mean they didn't bury their people and and say eulogy of course they did but it all came like from the torah in other words what did he contribute to torah so they made a husband about torah the whole idea of you know uh is kedusha and saint hillam and and crying i don't know it was it wasn't as formal so you know the whole idea of running to be ruined is is is a foreign is contrary to the way their uh ancestors and ancestors ancestors taught them well also also that there's a shiloh in the liberation world whether it's nipple torah to take time away from uh being in the basement to go to right yeah but but but but he'll yeah it's only a shyler if you if you if you consider uh going to uh a mitzvah based mitzvah okay you know exactly that's the point the point is you know that they look at it as if someone else can go then the verse is bitter the way hasidim and many others look at it no it's it's a mitzvah for us to go even the fathers can go i want to participate because this is uh other than global and you know so it's again like you see yeah you're right you know it's a different mahalak it's a whole different approach so anyway yellow velvet avi on high yellow there's a famous vert of the the lubavitcher rebels it goes like this high l brings a highest in the avodah of ello brings vitality and enthusiasm in the service of elo another version is high yellow brings highest in the avodah vanilla divided i would ever explained this once a great length the difference of the two versions but the common the commonality of the two is that today begins 12 days before uh and each day corresponds to a day a month in the past year so for pashtuns it means that we have to make a freshman for each month what we did so today higher we would make a freshman for less tissue tomorrow you test sellers for heisman on and on and on but what's the idea of bringing highest and evel and that is we've been talking until now till this mimer with the finished anila deity that the avoid of ello was is is avoided and we have to go out to the field to greet the king and and and you know right now now that's not you know it's exciting initially to go into the field to get out of the city you know and then i'm back here and before park and everyone has come back i wish they would stay for another month in the country there's no park it's horrendous it's it's mom-ish i tell my wife that i i just get i get sick from driving a half a block the noise the sirens the cars there's no parking i already got two tickets i mean it's unbelievable you know i i'm coming from florida i don't know what what is talking hashem is talking to he wants you to do some exercise rather oh that's what my wife says you can leave my face there yeah yeah you're right you're right donna you're right but anyway but anyway so the the you know when you go when you leave a city and you go into the country to the field and it's this way too you know in eric's role when you leave by chemistry and go out you know it's it's it's a different experience and that's true however then when you realize that the the king you know you got to talk to the king you know you gotta ask him you gotta you gotta you gotta you got you have to be involved then it gets a little murky you know really do i want that and so it's very easy to fall into um not a depression but a melancholy you know you're not you're frustrated you're you're not happy so comes along the day of hyaluron you have to do the avoida of anil dey divided with haius high means highest highest means excitement you could say the same thing but you could say like oh it's this week i could talk to you this way you know [Laughter] or i can talk like this and make with my hands they were my eyes and my face and a smile and a tear it's a whole different experience highest life high high ello this is the life of ello because if you want the avoid of ello to be penetrating you need to be high you need to be alive people love being around people who are alive it doesn't mean you have to be a screamer doesn't mean you have to be a jokester but just be alive you know and and this is the message from today's day for the next 12 days and i think this is something that's workable whatever we do from the emergency room and wherever does many surgeries and other and and to to to learning and teaching hi be alive so that when someone sees you you know someone who's so never so not well and and the doctor comes in if the patient sees in the doctor highest that itself brings more health to the patient you know and even if you'll argue well the patient's under anesthesia doesn't know he's alive he's breathing right so the the person inside feels that there's someone standing here who gives me highest and that's why network patients who are on in a in a coma higher leica it's so important to speak to them and sing to them and and be with them in the highest way i they don't respond let hashem deal with that we have we know that there's life until the last moment and therefore if you're there bring highest to them and how do you bring highest by you yourself being high by yourself being high there's a concept of siddhis hillel called [Music] alive to enliven if you're high you can do la yos you can make something else alive if you're not high you never will create highest lafayettes or something else and the same is true you come to the shabbos table right come to the shabbos table i'm going to sleek right if you're alive your kids see it whether they're plugged in as you are whether they're it makes no difference they see a living organism of of of yiddish kite or froomkite of siddhishkai to whatever they see someone who's animated the animated spirit is such a wonderful spirit and people love being around animated people so this is a simple message from today which brings the highest especially through the teachings of the belshampton of the holy bel shemptiv and the alter ebbing and although we didn't learn anything in the minor we'll start the sham next monday uh berliner and we'll cover as much as we can the mimer is from the kute toyota so if you don't have the exitus move errors try to get to the coutu there um and you'll find the mimer there on the unposhes that serve him if you do have siddhis movers it's the next mime page llama test that follows this mimer and you find avi ivy i haven't heard from you in two weeks say something avi hello well i try to keep the mute off so i don't make the mutants i don't make noise or there's no background noise that disrupts the class so good to see you it was uh a week and a half or so of seeing the grandchildren and taking them around because once they start school it's not going to happen so fast so when i could get in i got in could see you working on the elbow working very hard broken who's good mimer and davis david's rebench everyone here to have accidental good bench to yours may be written and inscribed for a good year the shona toyota we said to have with shawna tell you the goodyear um a sweet year not just a good year a sweet year with lots of honey lots of embellishment of goodness and when we go to slichest they would dance into sliches because they were fabraying before and they settled so they they just didn't walk into show you know drowsy so late at night they were bringing and then they were so animated they danced into sliches so we should all dance into sliches with the happiness that the abrasive gives us opportunity to be michael us and to accept us for another year have a great shabbos everyone we'll see you on monday bye bye bye
