we're on page 157 in the mimer
country mayan and uh just to review look
at 155.
you only by the way did you get the
saver yet or not
no they didn't answer me i asked murders
okay i'm going to ask moshe moshe would
you mind following up because he's tried
a few times with aaron schmidt
i'll follow up too i'll follow up too
you know he he he
he doesn't have the say for it so we
it's already two weeks i think
he has it he has it i was there already
two days ago
there's two copies just like this
sitting there waiting for people to go
pick it up
okay so you hear me never answer
okay okay so tell them you're ready to
pick it up
okay let's start peter yody i'm gonna be
there
this afternoon later for minha oh yeah
man please stop and i'll pay you back
yeah no problems okay
let's go so let's learn the kitzer i'm
155.
with the learning about this idea that
from the
uh the emanation called the sweeter of
wisdom of the first which is
and below dalit
it comes in an organized calculated way
for four reasons aleph or me
because inherently by definition
it's an inner light that orphanemia and
an inner light
requires order and calculation
number two say that it's in a
progression in a progressive
in a progression atmosphere hence it
needs to be
organized and calculated you can't be
in an accountant's office and expect to
be
chaotic and wild although many people
come into an accountant that way
and we don't have ishmael to tell us
that because
shmuel's probably has handled
some very very uh wild people in
california
uh many of them from people who come in
and ask him to solve um
you know to say to save the brooklyn
bridge even though
it's sinking and sinking rapidly and the
bar of hashem
he's done amazing for them but the point
being is when you're in an arena
in an atmosphere of seder guilty say
that it doesn't work
remember that i'm telling you remember
this rule
and i see it's you know some my
daughters
in particular they i remember one of my
daughters
would come home was a little messy she
says i can't i can't stay here i'm going
crazy i said what are you going
crazy what's quiet he says yeah but this
is not in this place and this is not in
that place
in other words by an orderly person when
something is not orderly
they turn off they're not they're not
themselves
so we're learning the same thing idea
and again you see here how this point in
a mimer
is an entire ethos of life it's an
entire way of life
sader so if you don't have seder you
you has been won't work if you want
husband which the sphere in this case
we're talking about a sphere
a nomination that is of accountability
nature
therefore it requires number two say
their order number three
miss robbies because the fact that if
it it invests itself in a particular
place
means this is its home this is where it
feels comfortable
like some people they won't go anywhere
you know why
because they need their bed any other
bed being in a hotel be it at a parent
being at a child
they feel uncomfortable so they say i'd
rather stay home
you guys are familiar with that so there
is the idea of the slavish be clean
finally point number four reason number
four
the owner knows that it's not going to
just
inspire the level that it's at which is
in this case
but it's going to continue progressing
downward
well when you progress downward and
you're overwhelming
you're going to lose the the customer
so you could talk a certain way to a
certain customer because you guys grew
up together and your buddy buddies
or you've done business a long time and
you know how to talk to each other you
know
but imagine you have a new customer who
you've never met
and you talk and act the same way and
you turn them off
my wife always tells me you know i've
been teaching for years
women hear what you say in a very
different way than men you cannot talk
to women
the same way you talk to men
and this is true what i think we need
i think we need like a week-long shear
just on that point
i i i have to admit i'm not the one to
give a share on it because i'm still
working on it
it's it's it's it's a skill it really is
and
you know you take a person like mannis
friedman and then
certain people who by nature they're you
know they're more calm
and and different things and you see
that their success
with teaching women is great but with
men
it's you know it doesn't compare and i
don't mean classification to point out
madison friedman because he's a great
teacher if anyone listens to him
but you understand you know if you
compare him to let's say you see jacobs
you know someone who's more dynamic
i think you'll see that men relate more
to that and women relate more to someone
who's docile
and calm and all that anyway i might be
right i might be wrong but the point is
there's a difference between men and
women
in the way they hear things and the way
they receive things
so the rabbi here says point four
mistakes the earth knows
you understand i'm not gonna stop in
kokuma
you're gonna you're going to want me to
go
be lower than oh lower than
i have to plan now how what to say how
to say it and what not to say
you hear that so the same is with with a
spouse
with children with congregants with
employees
you know and and i think about this a
lot of times
let me say something this way you know
or no not like
i said i'm gonna say it this way you
know like the first flash i'm gonna say
this way then i sit back say wait a
minute
wait a minute if i'm gonna say it this
way or write it this way it's going to
get to someone in timbuktu
and someone who maybe doesn't like
this and that i need to write it in a
way that even that person who
is an opponent
should say you know maybe i disagree
with him but he has a point
if i can accomplish that it's good
writing
to change someone completely to change
their way of thinking
and agree with you that's that's a much
harder job and of course
we as writers and everyone in their own
profession wants everyone to agree with
them
but but um that's wishful thinking and
also it's not uh
it's not necessarily a godly way of
thinking like i told you
the terrorist says
regarding the temura right you attracted
called exchanging an animal
if you say i went to my backyard today
and i saw this nice cow i would like to
bring it to the base of migdash then you
start going and you're on the highway
on the one and suddenly you see a farm
and you go to the farm you see
another better cow and you say you know
the one that i have i'll bring back to
my house
i'm going to buy this one i want to
bring a nicer cow to the base i make
this for a carbon
the terrorist says sorry chap sorry
you can't do that you know why because
you already
dedicated and made kodesh made holy the
first animal
so the terrorist says
the first animal us and it's exchanged
the second animal that you saw on the
farm
both are now kodesh and you need to
bring your both to the base of mikdash
you you thought you would right so this
verse da rizal says if you take the
first four letters of the verse
it spells out the uk that the tether
grammation the name of hashem
of utk buff k each letter of those words
rep is a youth worth kate in uk buff k
and arizona says that is the
energy of the month of shrok which is in
a few months from now
there ever once explained i believe i
was at the fabregas amazing amazing
explanation the rebels said what's the
connection
between the month of srat and the
acronym for the month being
and the river said the connection is
because the month of shock is associated
with utrat
his father-in-law's passing his yard
sight
and his entire
being was dedicated to bringing tata to
another jew
and when he came to america he had
everything translated as what you know
in english in other words in russia it
was for the
the jews in russia and poland and jews
of poland america for the americans
so he based it on the possibility for
him
hoyle
i believe he explained it in 70
languages
so that everyone should be able to
follow the titus the represent the same
thing my father-in-law
is objective of the same thing right so
the idea of outreach your future
disseminating the wells of of torah of
hasidis to the outside
was the objective of my father-in-law
that's the same idea of making an
exchange for an animal
you see a person who you
you know who's not that that you know
you need to make an exchange the person
is
needs needs a tune-up so
your job is to make an exchange you make
an exchange
so you think to yourself okay i'm going
to teach the person tell you that i'm
going to
help him with mitzvahs i'm going to help
him out and get him started and
make a mention out of him and all that
and then
the person says thank you very much
i want to be on my own now you get very
offended
and we know this right when you help
someone and they then speak in
your face or they laugh at you and they
say go somewhere
right i don't want to go into it now
it's because it's for another time
or maybe for never but everyone knows
when you when when you when you go out
of your way to help someone else and
then they kind of
reject you it's very hurtful you feel
very very hurt
one second hello so the rebbe said
that notice that the acronym of the utk
bufke
is not the word kodesh shall be shall be
holy
it's a year it shall be
and its exchange shall be that's the end
of the acronym
the word kodesh which is in the torah
the la that word the last word in that
verse or whatever in the verse
kodesh is not part of the acronym akuff
kodesh
why and there ever said because whether
the person is going to be holy or not
is not your business that's hashem's
business
our business is to make the exchange to
do what we have to do
what will be don't play god and
and and and the reason why we get upset
the reason why we get upset is because
we had an
expectation we should not have had
because it's not a real expectation
whether someone gravitates to the point
where it becomes holy
that's between him and hashem
what we need to do is provide the
opportunity
here provide the opportunity and that
ever said that was the whole mission of
the previous survivor why do i say this
now
because we're learning about
this assessing assessing
what they are needs to assess where it
will get to
and if the r is too much
overwhelming is is is fine for hakma
but it's not good it's not it's too
overwhelming for bina
and and das and crested and the
levels lower than then to begin with
this
r has made a mistake in in in this in
assessing the situation
and it's it's a mistake that he's made
that sorry that it's made
because on one end you say you only you
know made the mistake
the receiver you don't want to budge you
don't want to move you want to be the
same way
right that's the way we talk and we
think many times
i'm doing everything for you here it is
i'm giving it to you
and you're not so it's about you not
about me
so whatever says here when we're talking
about an aura
meaning to say if you if you want to be
in a relationship
please means relationship you understand
market is not relationship
panini is relationship if you want to be
in a relationship
you need to think about how they will
receive it and perceive it because it's
about them not about you yes hello
i wasn't uh i was just making sure my
mic was off
okay let's continue
my high timer
the citra akhira the negative side can
also get in
and benefit me
because from the market number two
things believe the uke
it doesn't give a precise amount it's
open-ended
it's open for grabs and the amount
that's open
is burribly a multitude a lot
let's turn to page 157 and we'll begin
now the 10th mimer peter goddess
the zelda received so he goes back to
the first mission that
we began in chapter five
from devarim 29-18 and if you haven't
yet looked it up
please do so at some point and memorize
it because the whole the
the all these six chapters are focused
on this verse
and that is his buddhism
[Music]
he will bless himself the tata hakadasha
the holy titus says
that a person will bless himself lamer
saying shalom yearly
i will have peace keepers
libya for i will
fee i will fill i will fit
i will do what i want you know
i'll do my merry my merry way and if i
do whatever i want
i'll feel great i'll be peaceful
that's the end of the of this part of
the verse
says that but the one who desecrates a
transgression
he says to himself he blesses himself in
his heart
few years surely he'll have peace
balls he'll get a lot of energy
a lot of vitality the whole i thought it
would get so much good
i did have down the country
he won't get a little amount like the
other guy his neighbor
who's religious he's going to get a lot
because he works as shabbos
so the people are working on shabbos
whatever in that industry
so he's going to work on shoppers he's
going to make a lot more than a guy
who doesn't work on shabbos keepers
i'll go on my merry way
because he goes because he goes in his
merry way
shall i appear not according to the
dictator
he fantasizes and thinks like cabori
and that he's getting from the maki
philo piazz keshman
that has no no no limit kamoyak clips
just like the clippers in the situation
they get this
endless amount of energy that they use
and abuse
so two he'll be in the same situation
[Music]
of the verse is a reason why
his brother he blesses himself and says
he'll have peace
because he'll say he says i'll get from
the market they say the
is not from the organized way and now i
have an abundance
le mans voice out of us that's mayor and
the poster continues and says and
thereby
[Music]
svotes voice the satiated
which um with the thirsty
we said earlier and repeats it here that
the rubber the state of mind called
rather
in comparison to the thirsty st the
thirsty meaning the state of mind
of la missing hashem and and feeling i
need hashem
the one who doesn't who feels that
kashmir is he has gushness and that's
all he needs
therefore he's satiated
[Music]
more and so he's in a better situation
that's what he thinks
than the one who's thirsty and says i
don't have enough of hashem in my life
which refers to the side of holiness
because this maya mindset receives the
energy
from the side of holiness through
installations
progression through the brain which is
limited
avalor metabolism is also clear to
believe in the judgment but the roughest
state of mind
receives from beyond satan establish
without accountability
and then the process continues there in
devarim
chapter 29 verse 19 one verse later
hashem will not forgive him
this attitude is
a recipe for no
forgiveness by hashem god forbid
why says the rabbit
this is acceptable you know for who
forgoing
glenn don't have the same responsibility
as us eden
so for them it's happy-go-lucky and
guess what
[Music]
you know why because we tap into the
inner
only to the penis of hashem we're we're
god's apple of the eye
right we're the so what works for a
non-jew
will not work for us so you're making a
miscalculation
you're thinking right the thinking is
do like the jones my neighbor is doing
this why don't i do it do it if it's
good for him it's good for me
says that he's a non-jew she doesn't
have the responsibility
he's not tapping into pneumous his
energy is a market
which is important and good for an
andrew but you're from
the mias so what's good for him is not
good for you
very very important insight let's
continue
then as the titus says even later in the
dvaram chapter 32 verse 9
hashem you'd keep fk itself
denotes histamines and he explains
is k the first k is bino
verve is uh which means the small faces
meaning the middles the the emotions and
ke ochrein and the last k
malcolm's is royalty and kingship
shame next page shape page 159
and wherever that we have
the uk buff k it's premiums
youth cave off gate by its very nature
is a pneumous
checked because yaakov because jacob
chose god
because since jacob chose hashem hashem
chose us
so now he talks about the the issue of
indianapolis
the idea of choice it is the refinement
of choosing
specifically this and not that that's
what choice is
if you have yani a red apple and a green
apple and you don't like the t
the color of red is that a choice no
choice hello means there are two
identical things
and it makes no difference to you and
you choose one over the other
so the rabbit says here
hashem choosing us means that we're in a
way
two identical things and he chose us
jews
let's see if he let's see if he develops
here or not
a king who chose a portion
a certain portion of
someone got up and said this is a
disgrace
can this person expect to live
the elu is
[Music]
the message is saying the message is
saying you have a portion report
he chooses a a portion and it's pathetic
and he says from that you could live
from that amount of food and that type
of food you could live and all that no
so the method says they made a choice
and he made a choice that he chose the
jews to be his gula
and he says that
says this choice now listen to this
this choice is what we call
a choice that consists its contents
is pneus
it's not a choice that doesn't
touch him many times we make a choice
and it doesn't really touch us it really
doesn't it doesn't
uh you know trickle you it doesn't let's
say you let's use the psychological
word that doesn't cause the paradigm
shift
it's a choice and an important choice
and and and yes
but it's not making a real difference in
who you
are says that this choice of akadeshwar
who choosing
over touched his
essence that's what he says
real choice is when there is
a pneumous change
this opens up an entire idea
why sometimes we make choices
and the choices we make
are poor inaccurate
sloppy and the answer is because you're
not approaching the choice
in a inner way in a deep way in a
premium way
you might think you are but you're
really not in other words a
choice should be a very
serious issue
when i say serious i don't mean to stay
there stand there crying
but i mean it has to touch you you know
you have to be focused
that's when the choice is coming from
panemius that's what it says here
next paragraph
she a portion of god
says my soul my soul in other words a
jew soul says
hashem hashem is a part of of me
that said soul says that obviously it's
very deep
he says
he says like this let's look at the
let's look at the message
[Music]
there was a king who was entering the
country
and he had high officials government
dukes government officials
the institution and high officials
[Music]
mushroom i shall take a duke to myself
hadamard another person that was
observing this said
i will take a government official and
the third one
agave i'm going to take the um
the official high officials
three opinions three each one wants
another person accommodating the king
you know why
because they'll get a position like the
rebel always said about his crazy
politics in the knesset
they want the bankhold did you ever hear
the rebels they never use that
expression
they want the seat how many votes can i
get
how much money will my party get
right so these uh the the people
observing the king walking behind them
with these big mockers
each one says you know i'm going to
befriend this mocker
and therefore betrayment is gonna have
better fire hydrants on the street
the other one says i'm gonna get him
because they'll give me a piece of land
i'll be able to build a shoe
and everyone is politicking
you only look what the magic says
further this matters we should memorize
this message
there was one clicker to get this word
a clicker a smart guy pikachu pikea
and he was observing the situation and
he said
i don't want the deputies the officials
the dukes
i want the king himself
why why they couldn't
miss half in because
all the deputies and mockers they're
here today and not tomorrow
we just saw it with trump and company
it looks like he's out he can beat
trump and schmump and pump
but politics is politics votes are votes
again whatever happens i'm just saying
miss kaufman
things change
the king doesn't change the king
never changes so why
go for the schlemiels
go for the treasure go for the essence
yeah the schlemiels are all glitzy
cufflings fancy
tell teslas big shots
everyone has a bottom and a top
you're at top one day and the next day
you could be on the bottom
okay and this is life and it's happened
day in day out and everyone knows it
whether it be financially whether it be
emotionally
right but the king never changes
so he says i don't want these knockers
and big shots i want the king
says the medish
so to the
some worship the son hey no of under
somewhere should the moon
oh man or if the lights were having some
worship to the the trees and and stones
i will because each one feels hey if i
have a forest
i can build lumber
[Music]
they don't worship the sun they don't
worship the moon they don't worship the
stones the rocks
they worship only
to see if this is the meaning of the
verse
the possible
this hashem is my portion
everyone else go jump in the lake
but you know it's so easy to say it
after you learned the medrash
and we're hearing our little screen
talking to each other right
but but to do this in real life
is a is is a great challenge and a great
accomplishment to be able to
to to let go and not be fascinated i
like the word fascinations
not be attracted by the fascinations
that are offered as you go along is very
difficult
let's continue next paragraph
the glitz exactly
this is the fact that the trader was
given to us specifically to yield
not non-jews
comes from wisdom
you don't put five portions of children
in the bottom
only four if you have five it's possible
right and sharpest is shabbos and not
another day
it was given specifically to us because
of
just like the negative energy of forces
in the world
that receive abundance of influence from
the net from the energy
top of 161 to yahoo
he's making a mistake a toast
why because leo is the israel
apneas because he didn't come from
anemias
so your husband won't work it's a good
husband it's a good
thought for a guy but not for eid
meaning whether we're talking about
hashem choosing gideon
the hein princess israel bill octopus
and we choosing hashem
is it's a plea music experience it's not
a shallow experience
so we'll stop here for today mr sham and
we'll continue tomorrow
as the champions butter and
we have a tremendous insight and
important lesson
that um seek
plenius because you are premius you hear
that
you have to very good question yes
i don't know if he's going to get to it
maybe he is but
maybe he's not i don't know but what
what is he what would you think the
his his idea is here when you take the
the gosh miss and you turn it into the
music so like let's say
you know uh
[Music]
that's that's not only fine that's
necessary
the whole idea of transforming gospels
into rookness but that's
that's a polymes dick approach yoni
that's that's premium so plenius doesn't
mean you'll need
to exclude gosh miss it means to
incorporate gospels
and you know i think i told you once
this um
this person who belonged to a reformed
temple
in my early days in marin county
and i asked him to support chabad and
and you know he said
i wouldn't really even respond to you
because i don't i'm not orthodox i'm not
interested in
all of that you know i think he grew up
in portland maine
but he said i'll tell you why i'm
responding to you
it says when rabbi hayem
yitzhak drison was
the the the first shliyak in northern
california
that rabbi akunan appointed in 1972
or 71 72 73 in the early 70s
okay that's when they opened up the
chabad house in berkeley
and um
he you know he he needed to raise funds
as well
so somehow he met this person who gave
him an appointment and i think he
asked him if he could sponsor the
kitchen
at the chabad house in berkeley
has have any of you been to that chabad
house hillel have you been to it
yeah yeah in fact i um i learned with uh
rabbi ferris
uh uh before my wedding
very beautiful robbie who the ferris is
he's excited
wow
okay so we have we so you guys will i
didn't hear what you know the sun said
johannes has said that he live he lived
in the cabaret house for two years they
had they had a
they had rooms
it was it was it was really
fraternity or something yeah it was all
fraternity and it was really it was
really you know what
house used to be in the 70s you know
what i'm saying
late 60s and 70s and on the college
campuses
it it's very different today's chabad
houses this was
real chabad house nostalgia
i remember i i still got the tail end
when i came there in 84
and when i was a booker in yeshiva in
l.a in 1980 or so
i i think i was there too you know so
you got a taste of it the whole berkeley
scene
it was it was very very interesting the
guys hanging out on the couch and you
know and people
taking a smoke here and doing that wait
wait was it was leopardic it was real
habat house
so so anyway so rabbi drison
went to this fellow this person and
solicited him you know asked
him can he sponsor the kitchen he was a
welder
and um he said to him
he'll do it i don't need the 4k but he
gave him a nice donation for the kitchen
equipment
and then and and then so he and i called
him that was the 1970s i called him in
1985 or so
because one of my congregants was a very
good friend of his
and he said call him up maybe he'll give
a donation to chabad so i did
so he took my call and he sent something
i forget
whatever he but he said let me tell you
why i'm even taking your call because
i'm
i'm still not orthodox and i still
belong to reform temple and all that
he says when rabbi drison came to see me
to solicit me
i was blown away here's a rabbi with a
beard yes his beard was
you know rolled up and it was nice and
neat and a tie and he's any and he
looked
but you know what threw me for a loop
his suit
he wore a suit that was fancier than my
suit
and i said if there any rabbi can wear a
suit that
out does me he's worth his money
he told me this and he gave him the
money
and then 10 years or 250 10 years later
he picked up my call
and and i didn't get to see him and he
well you know i didn't see him
i don't know if he would be impressed
with the way my beard looks
and all that in my dress because i
didn't wear such suits
but anyway
this is all really responding to you so
here
rabbi drison wore a fancy
expensive suit which you would call
modern with 770
and and flatbush and borough park and
yerushalayim they would say
he's a real jew he dresses fancies into
his clothing
vanity and the answer is
that he dressed sharp very sharp why
because he needed to make an impression
of such eden
and he did and the proof is in the
pudding
and that's an example yoni of taking
gosh me that's premiums that's not
now if someone doesn't have that in mind
and he really is dressing cool because
he wants to look cool
which is vanity that's between him and
hashem
and and it needs it needs correction and
it's tickle
it needs refinement but the whole idea
of of of tyra is to take kashmir on any
and all level
and make it into us i think the story is
