251 in kuntuzumayan the kids here before
we go on to the next chapter let's read
the kitchen together
the the sinner who really
is honest with himself if he's honest
knows that he is
at fault
in the pain that he has from realizing
his
foolishness he has harotta he has regret
um and he has a thought of chuva as he
little said that's what the
russia vettel is according to tanya
chapter 11.
the person who is justifying always his
behavior
aina muharram he does not
think about doing chuva and thinking for
a moment that he is at fault and he
should regret what he did
aval nevertheless yodeya he knows
sorry so there's two things
there is knowing i did something wrong
and then there's no
then there is i want to do something
about it and change my ways it's two
separate things you're innocent
so the the the rebel ashab finds
you could say merit in the person who
who
is always justifying what's the merit
the merit is at least he knows something
is wrong
he doesn't he doesn't yet come to a
point where he says
i want to do truva because of his
excuses
but he knows that a wrong was done the
wrong was done but it's not me
it's not because of me it's because of
my friend because of my community but of
course something
wrong was done let's continue
then there comes another character flaw
which is even worse
we call this in hebrew hamas
someone who holds tuva
good luck for himself he thinks he's
justified
he doesn't recognize the deficiency
vascular sort of thickened and that it
requires correction
he doesn't think anything wrong was done
why because he's god's gift to humanity
finally we have the third character flaw
which is worse than the previous two
which is hamish goya the one who
boasts and brags okay because the first
two yoni you can be
private about it you feel good about it
you feel that you know you're justified
but you don't go around and share and
and
your your you know your stuff with
others
but then there's a third type of
character that's misguided
and you look around it's interesting
because this is
you know you look around our communities
our schools our homes our
environments we see this there are
certain people that
like to boast and brag about their
studio
there are other people that don't do
that but inside themselves they think
they were right in what they did
and finally there are those that know
something wrong was done but they're not
yet ready to do chuva
so these are the three things and the
rebel ashab said
hamish goya the person who has the third
character floor
play game by utk he blemishes the first
two letters of the shame hashem
the utk um
and he said an amazing thing and it
causes him
to lose his talents and i elaborated on
that yesterday
i just want to say as it as i'm speaking
out loud maybe
possible answer to yaakov's question why
the uk
and not the buff k so yaakov this is a
thought that just hit me as i'm talking
yud
the first k of the shame hashem is bina
it says in kabbalah and hasidis
that the the the pagima
the blemish in the uk
is when you use choc mambina for
non-godliness and contrary to godly
godliness instead of the uk being in
hashem and trader and helping another
yid
you use it for your own
self-aggrandizement
in a way of uk what's uk bragging
because we're not talking here about by
the way we're not talking
guyver is not his spyros if you remember
what it says in peter carlo field and
tanya
the altar but gave us four meters rows
four bad character traits associated
with the four elements
and the one for ruach heir
that's a bunch of air is huddleless
lizanas and espyros you understand you
remember that right
what's the spiders boasting
what does the hebrew of aspires mean
it means you're a bunch of air you you
aren't really a great person but you put
you just boast and blow from yourself
so it's a bunch of hot air exactly
and that's why oilers frivolity
and with sonas and hispirus they go
together
because it's all air what about guyva
guyva's real
guy there is this man is very talented
this man hat knows a lot nevertheless
he brags so brad's yaakov
is associated with bina
in other words you wouldn't call someone
who's about his spirit
someone who's a a master of boastfulness
someone with content he's a bunch of hot
air
gornit gurnish
there's nothing there but someone who's
guyva who's about guys according to the
khazal literature alcoponem and khasidis
it represents someone who has a lot of
meat and potatoes
he has a lot of content he has member
and when he uses his hawkman being as
guyba to boast
and like we said yesterday that ashab
emphasizes that nate taylor
someone who really knows taylor so his
cochlear implant is used
in torah but in agave way that's a
blemish in the uk
but there's a positive application of
the spirals as well
what's the positive application of
spiders go ahead
it's my list now that i'm inspired no
not his spy loss you're mixing up the
two
not not his spa loot with the laminate
his spa root with a rash
and you know there is positive to that
and we've discussed it and
okay okay good good that's why we
dialogue that's why we we have
interaction
good so so this this might this i think
is the
basic answer to your question why i mean
he asked hebrew he asked a very good
question and i i
you know i wish you would have asked it
we learned that it blemishes the uk why
not the fk
why only the uk and the answer is
because we're identifying a ben torah
and we're identifying someone who has
khambina
and the youth represents the first
k represents bina the verb represents
the six meters
and the last k represents malchus so the
middles
and and malchus are more um
practical orient oriented you know
so we're not talking about that we're
talking about the sequel
and by the way we find this theme in
tanya and pedro
where the altered makes a very big disc
uh issue
of mischievous and i don't want to speak
about that now it really needs to share
for itself
the blemishing the the the
the cycle with with with with
with uh secular uh studies of of
of clipper nature okay i am not just any
you know man we're not talking about
mathematics and even there the altar
says if you like the rambam and the
ramban
that used it for asic for their business
for their parnosa to help others
it's acceptable okay um i spoke to
someone who had yahidis with the rebel
in the 1960s
and his his parents mother i think in
particular wanted them
twins or not to go to college and they
wanted to stay in yeshiva and there the
russian shiva told them here i think ter
vadas in brooklyn somewhere
and the rabbit told them that you know
that
uh if you know first of all keep with
that if that's what your parents want
you know this kiba dave but in addition
to that that
said the issue with secular studies is
bitter torah which is very interesting
because
usually that wasn't the answer that
wasn't the rebels reason for not going
to college
but he told you know in other words if
there is if there's a question
my uncle my uncle told my uncle went
into achieving this in the 60s he also
he was going to college
and the rebbe saw that he's a lost case
he's going to college
so he didn't tell them not to go to
college he told them choose
subjects that don't have heresy in them
so if you avoid the heretical subjects
which is a big if it's not so simple
okay it's not so simple you know i uh
for like for one or two classes i went
to uh
to consider getting a degree in in
jewish studies at toro college
and that's touro college it was a from
college and the professors were
very from people really and it was and
there was some heresy
and what they were teaching me to say
not that they would not they would the
subject matter lent
itself to certain ideas which are
contrary to torah i did continue for
various reasons
but i'm just saying i i it's a sensitive
issue but
let's say that you're studying
mathematics and there's no heresy in
mathematics
the question is is it in the gether of
bitter torah
so if you're going to use that and even
if you need that as
a as a course to get you to
to to engineering or or accounting or
psychology whatever you're going to get
to be a panosa
that's not what the altar ever means in
chapter 8 and tanya
anyway this is an important discussion
on not now but i'm just saying
since we speak about the uk
and the alta rebbe in chapter eight
talks about even though he doesn't
mention over there the uk
but he talks about the whole idea of
matamas ammo
contaminating the maya and and i just i
want to end with something i saw last
night i came across a youtube
someone yerushalayim who i know comes
from a chabad family
very bright very hasidic family and he
started to read books
and i see now he's contaminated
no question about it even if he's
religious he's not the same he was
before
the books got to his brain and he's
bright and he's smart
and he has good questions and it made it
made an impact he's not happier now my
humble opinion
but the books made a difference so it's
not you know there was someone else i
think i told you about about a month ago
i saw on a youtube summer another crown
heights boy
and he and and he blames his father for
his father suggested he read a book when
he was a teenager you know
but he started to read and it's
interesting this guy last night
said that he spoke to this guy who i
referred to two weeks or a month ago
we say in your idea there's a a lesson
called matza minis
one kind finds the other kind
you know but my point is
it you know we have to be careful with
reading material
especially with our kids and grandkids
and it's it's you know
and it's and it's a balance how do you
how do you discern between
um important reading that that
you know that will help you in your in
your understanding of hashem
you know versus reading that's you know
on the borderline
of heresy and if not heresy is going to
drag you down into a dark place
and this is this is an ongoing issue
that the yeshivas and the schools
and the rabonam grapple with this is the
this is some ongoing thing you know in
the 1940s in 1943 or 44
the rabbit writes to rabbi hutner of
higher berlin
and and and the frida kahrab the
previous river writes them
thank you very much for removing those
books from your curriculum
and he calls him uh kim he called
and in the foot and i think either in
the letter on the footnote it says
other yeshivas and i don't want to say
the names with prominent russia shiva
did not remove those books from the
english curriculum
and rabbi hutner did and that
recognized them for it so
this was always a contentious issue
between the russia shiva and the
rabbanim
what is permissible to read what should
be in the curriculum and what shouldn't
be in the curriculum
and um this is true in our houses
i i remember speaking to someone who
told me about his father
who lived in you know in ramadan in tel
aviv when he was a
hasidic jew but and he said he remembers
all the way on top in his bookshelf he
acts on books
that weren't so kosher
but knowing that person he read those
books
because he was making what it says in
pirkei of his dad mala toshiba
chorus because he dealt with hapakursi
in the knesset
he dealt with those russian
immigrated jews of hasidic and lit
background who rebelled against their
parents and grandparents
and were poets and writers many of which
names you know about
and he was teaching them and they were
arguing with them and he had to convince
them
so he read some of the books so that's a
that that's that's another area you know
or for example
you know rabbi emmanuel jonas
who knew rob manuel i'm sure you know he
he he was like a
um an expert in the new testament
and i remember uh in marin county i
invited someone named the
doctor zawalski i think his name
was khabadik from michigan from detroit
i don't know if you knew him you
understand and he was uh he knew
the new testament inside out and i said
to him why
why do you do this why because he said
because
i'm a cult buster
and i need to be able to refute them
and he stayed with me for shabbos was
fast fantastic to speak with him
and his one of the reasons he came is
because a sister of his was never
caught in the yoshi movement and you
know what he said to me
and married a guy a non-jew
and he said to me with all my knowledge
i cannot get her out of the cult
i cannot get her to leave jews for
joshua
i'm too close very interesting here is
an
expert a world expert in the new
testament
who goes in and slaps people out by
destroying their arguments
and he did tremendous work and his own
sister he can't pull out of the
the the cult and the you know and the
juice for yeshua
so you know because when it's an
emotional thing
it's the heart if you can get to the
brain he could prove to you that he you
know but they were exceptions
so welsky was an exception rabbi
emmanuel you know
these are individuals world individuals
one two
three four here and there for us to do
that it's wrong
we shouldn't be reading the new
testament
or the quran some say read the quran no
i don't think it's appropriate to read
the quran
if you need it for a presentation an
argumentation
and you have to ask her of whose
knowledge will not feel
who knows about covet okay it's two
separate worlds
the rather proof to have major feinstein
that he was wrong when it came to
engineering
because our moisture with all of his
godless and he was didn't know
engineering and the babachir ever
studied engineering and he knew
engineering
and ramosa wrote to him you are right i
didn't know this and i and
and you're right it's it's printed
meisha so it's public i'm not
telling you any secrets
why because the rapper was an expert in
that field
so when a person goes to a rev they have
to know
that the type of question that they have
and the appropriate rug
who's really knowledgeable and if
someone fakes it just
go away from them not every rev knows
every question
every every every field they don't and
it's a fallacy to think that you know
seldom do you have a rove that knows
every field of torah
and is studied in modern technology and
knows what's going on and this is
something that we continue
continuously have issues with and
struggles with you know people ask me
about
you know meditation and think these are
very very select fields where
it's very difficult i remember when they
had the the
cox remember to call the chauffeur the
self-improvement like the
warner earhart type of stuff right in
2000 or whatever it was 2010
and um you couldn't find the rove that
really compassed
him so they found fondler of david cohen
of flatbush at talmud of rabe hutners
who's very knowledgeable and supposedly
he
he understood that and gave up suck i i
frankly i don't know if he knows that
area but he says he
he took the responsibility and that's
that's that's between him and god
you know i mean you have to really know
the the the field of cults and the field
of
of meditation you know to be able to say
it's indeed a vodazora or it's not
available anyway i've been blabbling too
much let's get to the mimer
you like this guy you like these
fuckbringers right
mushroom loves it he can sit all day
you know the the the hidden
they're not in the beach so they go from
one piece
together they say life is one
wrong for breeding to go from one for
burning to another
thank you very good yes
yes yes it's interesting what you
brought up because this morning on
chakras
so i'm saying i'm saying for for my
uncle that passed he doesn't have any
children so i'm saying kaddish for him
yeah so not only
so already twice the guy came over to me
the same guy happens to be an english
guy
and he said to me he says um
he says you should not be saying
here on the show he said it's not the
show and you should not say it's against
that which which is
yeah yeah so i didn't like get into it
or anything like that
he's like you know so then i asked a
rabbi the rabbi said to me he goes
whatever you're saying usually you can
say it's not a big deal asked the rabbit
of the show
and he said you you know say it forever
the same thing you do usually
and she says what's the difference so
you say meaning guys i get used to it
and you know the guy is like okay it's
very hard to change it you know
yeah i mean listen there's something to
what he told you i mean you know but if
the rev
says otherwise it's otherwise in other
words the rough probably saying that
other people before you have said the
attractor
the the the you know this person
probably uh wants to keep to the news
i mean there's something to be said you
know um
but if again you went to the rev and if
the ref told you otherwise then
fine but i i i understand where the the
man made the comment to you you know if
you made it you know an appropriate way
uh i understand it's like you don't go
into
you know last night at darwin that
happened david square so i looked at the
wall they put up all kinds of ticket
tacomas you know
you know only if you go to the mick
diving for the almond only if
you don't have a beard then you don't
touch your beard
whatever those are their tacos i turned
around to the heaven i said no one can
dive in for the omelet here because if
you have a smartphone you can't down for
the omit
and i know all of you have a smartphone
so one guy says a friend is i don't have
a smartphone on me i said right you left
it at home because you know you
shouldn't bring it to jewel but you have
a smartphone
right so you're not going to dominate
the other here's but i do truth each
time i go to the almond
you know you know you hear the games
people play so
you know yay if they do that you could
say beyonce
yes my yeah just in the last things
you were saying before
yeah about about uh speaking with a rug
because it was an
expert it's just well it's just a
signature but
it is something that's come up it does
come up sometimes that uh
sometimes let's say person you know the
person considers himself to be on the
bob
so he wants sunni let's see he has a rod
views the road with his lubavitchera
but sometimes you know you need a rug
especially like you hear nerd swell
there are things i think they come up
with sometimes maybe
maybe you need to consult the rav about
a particular issue
who's not a laboratory because he's mama
like in the whole you know i'm just
saying it's it's
so wrong that's fine but i what i would
do is i would get i would
talk first to the laboratory of and then
and then
openly say to him you know um do you
feel that you have knowledge
is this a field of yours and if not um
with your permission can i go to the
expert who's not a liberator
in other words i would kind of get his
blessing and approval for it
this way you stay consistent with your
rabbinic uh
advice
and and if he says no it doesn't mean
you have to listen to him
i'm not saying i didn't say you should i
said it's
you know but but but usually any ref
who's honest
and is worth his money will tell you you
know
you know will tell you you know this is
not my field then they go on
let's learn some cities 253
[Music]
now he talks about not ben the banay
torah
the yeshiva bakarim and the koilo guys
now he's speaking about us
business people
such people who are business people that
are not
associated with other things come on
the
they work honestly and they're not into
indulgences
and pleasures you know
[Music]
coming from the inclination that's no
good that's causing one to desecrate
and to do things that are opposite of
hashem
the basics here that ever starts giving
giving it to us
he says the idea of working too much
tear the asic
one is totally engrossed bothered and
anxious because
of the day and night
to the point where he doesn't have a
chance to learn today
and to have in mind the translation of
the words
[Music]
that he thinks if he will take time
while davening to listen to what comes
out of his mouth
making his ears listen hear what he says
[Music]
he'll do business the ishmael is on him
he'll keep everything in an organized
fashion in a timely fashion he
assassinate
the lawyer and he'll be very involved
and he won't make a cent the prophet
all right gum yeah don't even lose money
money versus over matsuman
he'll only work a little bit over me at
asic
and he won't be so involved and
engrossed in his work and jarvie if he
will prophet tim kaine
who says that by taking the time
spending time on governing and learning
you
you're losing business although yes
you're trying to find that
maybe it might even be better from that
he shouldn't engross himself
involved himself so much in work or
versus having his body
kayak losses if he remembers every
moment it's a shrimp that gives him the
ability
to accomplish
[Music]
and it's hashem's blessing that makes
you wealthy that's amazic and the work
itself who rock it's an
upon which the blessing will rest avalo
but the main thing is because hashem the
blessing of god
in kane if so alexa
needs to be dedicated there it gets
really close primarily to godliness
of next page to 1955 has
you have to make a vessel and that's the
work you got to make a vessel
avo driven king
it's enough to have a minimal amount of
visas
so when are we talking about this we're
talking about this
when when when it if it contradicts
cairo mitzvahs
time of kavanaugh davening davening
right we're not talking about you davin
you're diving nicely
and quiet quietly and patiently and and
you had kavona
and you ate something now go to work
i mean and then you learn to fuse a
little bit now it's time to go to work
and work a full day
first dates if you need a break but i'm
saying he's not talking about not
you know me it doesn't mean you're
putting in one hour
and and hashem sent me the blessing i
worked one hour
that's a cop-out okay if you can afford
it and of course you want to do that
let's continue
god hashem will bless you in everything
that you do but son of lord we have
[Music]
without any work in any attempts you
will have because hashem
um yet the verse says in everything that
you do
mahmud implies that you got to put your
hand to the pedal
[Music]
that will give me a
depends on your daily activity so the
rabbit's question is
how will we correspond to this hazal
in my mind now with the previous
was too believe it or not that one's
paranosis is determined that rosh
hashanah
seemingly it's a contradiction is the
term narasana is determined
who says
[Music]
your entire budget is decided on rosh
hashanah you hear that
if that's the case what's this judgment
every day
is is my budget decided you're just
saying
or is it decided every day he brought
this earlier this contradiction he's
going to revisit it now
but right so now that's another question
and finally another question
the gun and also we have to understand
[Music]
the refrigerator was stacked with food
why is that yeah the server
even though he had to eat we have a
mistakenly
[Music]
it was not prepared for him at the
shoilimy bay malkibbutz laser
until until it was um the food was not
prepared until he had acid from the
house of the king
in other words the food was waiting for
him
but he didn't ask for it until he said
his prayer
but sort of love and maui what is this
prayer
tomorrow will continue mr sham will read
the uh
the here and we'll go on to the next
mimer but this
last section that we read in
i remember in in in my in younger years
when we started to learn cultural mind
this was like
what we heard about country somayan it's
going to answer a contradiction of the
gemaras
is man judged every day for his
prognosis or is he judged
on rosh hashanah and it says both and
being that this was written for
balabatin primarily
right like i told you several times in
in 1904
and during those times people were
working very hard
so this was what we at the time heard
is that's what contrast of mind is about
but now so many years later and learning
already more than half of
the safer uh barak hashem
we see that it has much more than just
reconciling a contradiction
and that through the kind of the first
15 my murren
whatever 30 my mark 12 or whatever it
was
in understanding you know kedusha and
clipper
and he spoke a lot about that it give it
give us a better understanding in
addressing this issue that we're going
that we
just asked about every have a great day
everyone it's a few minutes early but i
have another share
and we'll cop you want to say something
no just thank you okay zygozote everyone
see you tomorrow bye bye
thank you
