Rosh Chodesh Kislev; "The Zohar" , Class One - Rabbi Yossi Paltiel 5783

foreign [Music] so our topic for today is going to be the tradition this year is Wednesday and Thursday first of all I I want to mention that I'm almost positive foreign as you know that Emma had a massive heart attack on Titus as Dr Weiss puts it on a scale of one to ten he had a ten and that Eva's recovery was remarkable Supernatural unbelievable they they published Rabbi groner's Journal of those few weeks in his in deferred volume of his um it's incredibly personal I I don't think it should have been printed but I read every word of it and you watch that ever listened to the doctors with such adherence you never listen to the doctor with such a they wanted the rabbit to eat many times small meals of many times ate at six o'clock and eight at midnight and he had to recognize if it's six o'clock ate phlegics said midnight it would melted milk and I will listen to the doctors with such Kabbalah sale that maybe slept an awful lot during those few weeks and then after a short time relatively speaking by by the beginning of Hanukkah in other words approximately two months after the heart attack the devil just said that's it I'm done I'm not sick anymore no more doctors I'm on my own and he went back to your schedule I I read that I feel that between the lines when I read this this now published Journal which is literally day by day of what happened over the course of those two months um the week the mother that I believed in 1770 until it is living in a couple of weeks after that until you discussive and until Hanukkah Deborah really he really cooperates he really listened to his doctors he did say from time to time you know what I want to do is I want to make believe this didn't happen to go back to my schedule and nothing to talk about and the doctors told him that can't be by the time Hanukkah came the devil was just done with the doctors I I he I think he was supposed to go to the oil out of Hanukkah maybe I read it wrong that's why I understood he didn't go out of Khan okay he went Tavis but at some point that ever just decided that's it he's not sick and he just jumped right back in foreign workload um it's true to say that for three years until memor till 81. the rabbit's schedule was a bridge with shorter that went home earlier and then by memale of 1981 which was three years in right now did ever completely went back to his earlier schedule but it seems to me that after a couple of months that ever just said okay I'm done with the doctor so I'm going back to my work and that way went back not just to a full workload but to a bigger workload than they had before and you have to understand that people do not come back from a heart attack they survive a heart attack because a heart attack does permanent damage to the heart muscle the person recovers my heart attack has less heart left if you have a heart attack as massive as the Rebus as Dr Weiss put it on a scale of one to ten to ten most people don't make it and if they make it they're old enough they're just exhausted one bit with a little bit of heart that he had left I don't know how the doctors explain it but there's no way to explain it medically both the recovery and then the quality of life that they have enjoyed is incredible I heard a story did I be sent to label groaner sometime during that winter that in the United States had to sleep and he slept for a few hours and then every 50 minutes I've been growing up and open up the door looking at that ever so did I ever asked him a few months after why did you come in every 15 minutes and I've been going to didn't answer that ever and the devil said I'll tell you why because the doctors were expecting and of course I'll be going to wouldn't acknowledge it and today I said now look at me now Look at me today did everybody recover from his heart attack is consistent with the neighbor's way of living in a philosophy of Life a man should go through such an ordeal and come back with such kayak it's mamish unbelievable now I have to do three periods three classes on and the one advantage that I have is I choose what to teach I decide what I'm going to do each jump to you have to understand I do the same things I'm doing it three times and I'm doing that for 30 years I that's what I do I tell stories and how many stories are there to tell and if I made up new ones I'd probably do pretty good but you have to have a special rush for that um but if you tell the same stories over and over again so every year it basically I'm in a different mood so a few days before I'm thinking so what mood am I in this year so the mood I'm in is this I handed you each desire that you've known the story about which I'm going to tell you in a moment and I'm going to be learning anxiety with you that's what we're doing for this kisses we're going to learn a couple of pages of zayat at the very end of the story you'll see why I'm going to Desire with you but if you'll pay attention there's a reason why I'm teaching you the whole side not just me in the last few lines because the beginning of this Zion may be more important than the end of this hour but I want to start today's class from the third page okay open up your pages to the third page okay this is a letter which that Emma wrote about a week and a few days after the heart attack the heart attack was half base which means this is written it's dated which means it's about eight or nine days after the heart attack that ever wrote this letter this letter is what's called in the culture of Chabad of Our Generation developed a style he would write one letter and he would print many copies of it and he would just write in the names of the person in his own handwriting or we typed in by the secretaries and he would say the same letter many people and he would sign it and then he would personalize it he'd personalize it about how he wrote their name he would personalize by writing a PS and responding to specific requests or details that this person had written to the debit and so on and so forth okay but this letter was written to many many people and I want to read it with you hello and blessing for healing well librius and for health so now the rabbit says I want to read those two words again [Music] All Flesh and does wonders and in the Merit of philas the prayer of the many that stood in my good stead Hut my condition of Health improved but heal over ill and thank God who girdles me from the word galto right or is it is any person who blesses another Jew Miss himself blessed May hashems the extra is more than the original is material you're getting a double the signature of the secretary girls I want to share this with you was 12. in tuition and base I was 26. I don't remember Allama class that well I was only 12 and God knows I wasn't paying that much attention but in 26 I was married and I was very aware the outpouring of love for the rebel International class had no bounds nun base was a lot a lot of Schmutz a lot of politics but in LA michez the outpouring of love for the rabbit was Unreal there wasn't a Jew in the world even the biggest Miss Magnum there was just an understanding he was just a feeling that we needed and wherever you went and remember I was only 12 so I I don't really remember this it's really more what I heard and what I saw the outpouring of love that people felt for the Reba and the need for that was a virtual Universal wherever you want me yes I'm going to share two stories with you two little details then of course you as lavavators are going to say who cares big deal but they are a big deal okay the first is as follows I have an acquaintance who told me the following story that he wasn't sleeping in Florida then and Rabbi Shapiro label Shapiro rashishiva whenever it's a Florida was the place where everyone went to vacation now they go to Palm Springs and they went to Florida yet the rabbit didn't get the instruction manual that the rabbits have to go once a year to Florida once a year to Palm Springs he didn't get those he didn't get those and one of the places people went especially in those days was Florida so a lot of good days maybe through the winter whatever it was so the blade used to invite them to the Yeshiva days to make kidney status they would try to bring in Eden to be involved with labavage to see the bakrid Yeshiva to give one other good day level came to Florida who was really a goddal a real misnagged but a real godlin he probably knew the whole trailer that's not a joke was heed by the name of kamenetsky he was rashishiva of Taylor vidas he lived 100 years he passed away at 99 I think he was a real lit it was a real Miss nugget and Ravi Shapiro came to him and asked him to write a letter endorsing mithoyan Feinstein let me know absolutely adored that I loved that I've been respected in heaven adore wrote a beautiful letter a gorgeous letter about the rabbit it's just it's overflowing with love it's overflowing with love and emotion who was also a year that you could say about him he knew collateral this is not a joke to know the old title is not a joke it's a very awesome thing today I don't think anybody alive you know the behind kanyevsky passed away a while back he probably was the last person that you could say who knew the whole Toyota was a great God that makes you an incredibly warm letter about that he's I'm looking forward to mashiach coming and sitting at the sun heading he wrote The Beautiful letter and he supported he wrote a letter so they came to the behind cave and they asked him to write such a letter [Music] I can't write such a letter because I disagree with that ever I don't think is apparently he had a more like a satma kind of sheet to his or his cheetah he said but I just want you to know that every time I doubt him when I said in every deal he mentioned that happened of course you don't think it's a big deal but trust me it's a big deal Rebecca kamonesky didn't do that to score points political points he did it because as much as he was a massager but he disagreed with that ABBA and he probably was also jealous he knew how important the devil was is an episcopant the Second Story this is not such a big kiddish but it's still a big kiddish there was a Sadiq a real Sadiq and we didn't have too many when I was growing up who was about my first going everybody knew it he saw everything and he performed Miracles like wow his name was last year he passed away he lived over 100 also a very long time his last years he lived in Muncie but in the 70s he lived in Los Angeles for a few years he moved to L.A and he had a basement and people came into manual two or three years he lived in Los Angeles so David was a Russian Jew he came out of Russia in the late 60s and mid 60s did ever sent him to Russia represented to Russia agato and a Tanya and a cedar and they used those spots until then he died he came to America he still doubled the little city that the devil gave me used to say every day I think everything till he really appreciates who the rabbit is and he loved that I've been respected the devil so California is three hours behind us so the driver had a heart attacks at night let's say it was nine o'clock in L.A it was six o'clock or 9 30 it was it was it was it was so better wise got it going to call Los Angeles better Weiss was very close to him that said what happened to the limits that was already wearing because she's not his big day Shabbos speak to you and someone came and told me that they've had a heart attack he took office timer he took off his big dish Shabbos he put on his weekday clothes and he probably should dive and he said tell him the pre I don't know how you explained this but the whole Channel I don't know to what extent but that's the way I heard the story after yantev they told madrab is feeling better he put on his time home because it took he did like office I'm sorry I'm such an emotional person 25 years ago I saw the story without any tears you get all these not to cry it'll happen to you too it's age but you see we we're not in this ball from anybody and we shouldn't be because whatever we have isn't another leak but we have it that is on a list that's a few names long of the video itself from make sure I've been from other medications [Music] I feel it's helpful for us to know the way the world felt about and then especially the outpouring of love when the devil writes here in this letter [Music] this is absolutely Beyond nature the recovery it's unbelievable what I want to do is I first you want to learn Desire with you the story behind us there this morning when I got up in the morning before I went to show I prepared my classes if I talk so I opened up my computer and I looked for it and I found the tape of Rabbi Hecht telling the story if anybody wants it's a 12 minute audio it's in Yiddish it's really compelling and the reason it's compelling is because you're hearing a story first hand you're inside first hand JJ heck is a homologous who was incredibly close to that but he once told that ever I'm your son [Music] and he told us that he felt like the devil agreed it's incredibly close to the Limit told this story in 770 in public and again I have it on my computer I found it if you want to just send me a WhatsApp or an email on I would love for you to put it up on the group all the girls would hear it if you understand Yiddish 12 minutes long here's the story that he told publicly that uh today's Hanukkah the last day of Connecticut 1977 and he left I looked for someone to lose her to keep a secret and he laughed because did not know how to keep secrets and the rabbi said to him I want to make a fabrangian I want to wash on a bench and I want everybody to watch with me which means to give out to the to the ascona and I don't want anybody to know about the left America in other words the secretary shouldn't know and the doctors didn't know and the past this there has body is the devil was afraid that if they would find out they would try and stop it 1977 the Hebrew year was Tosh 5738 but you have to understand that the secular year turns in in kisler for tables you understand the January is not Rosh Hashanah it's it's after Hanukkah so it was still 1977. this year's 45th anniversary can I tell the office Debbie says no I just told you no can I tell the secretaries no can I call my understand and tell the bookish people to come in here his twin Sons were learning America and I think I think they were here I don't know told them but I think they were here and the Debbie said that you tell them to get till Australia absolutely not she says can I tell my brothers the breeder Andrew said yeah you can tell your brothers [Music] want them to arrange the fabrina to buy the khala and to buy the mask to set it up the only one who knew he says the one person that he called was he called battle eunuch who used to do is to pour the wine for the lemon because he didn't want they should like for somebody else to do it see Goldberg would come set up the tables otherwise he told no one the six heck Brothers right there was Salman and then there was a ROM and there was moishin there was Yankovic we're so close to the rabbit it's Indescribable the relationship if there's any hacks in the room you know this whatever the explanation is they were mamished they were so close to that they never had a harbor for them that was very special used to joke the teacher said the mission he's the fourth he's an Ezekiel he's the Troublemaker he did the most damage but they were very close to the rabbit and the devil let him call his brothers say cold now of course he doesn't remember which ones came avraham came his brother avraham came from Flatbush and then Reagan wasn't particularly long never watched if I bring any benched and navigation was older than from here ended up his letters to him he calls him good the Debbie says to his brother uncle Rabbi JJ hat I want you to know that this was the devis celebrating his recovery and I really have to thank you for inviting me and he sat down with Rabbi the two brothers together they wrote that I have a long letter very emotional about how lucky they have to be cinema today covered and the Dilemma gave them this close to be living permission allow them to join in this celebration so the devil wrote back I I probably have it here I made a bunch of copies to myself they never wrote back I don't have it here never wrote back thank you for the kind words look at the introduction to zayir so Jacob got this my name from the devil who lived in Flatbush he tells his brother the answers come right to my house now bring Isaiah let's learn Pages people you have to learn a whole bunch of pages to find the needle in the haystack and they learned it and they came across the story which we all now know where an appria passed away and he came up in heaven and then came who says okay come on into our group and the Chipmunk says no no no Christ says no no give him some more time and they sent them back down that's desire girls foreign so Rabbi heck tells the story in 770 and at the end of his speech he gets very excited push it they wish they gave that every years so that part of the story is on page eight it's the last six or seven lines but I'm reading with you 30 lines now why am I really do 30 lines if all we need is the last few lines as soon as I start to read you'll understand because this Zoya talks about sadikim desire is desire is much much more than talking about this story about appear coming upstairs and giving him more years it's the story is very meaningful in its entirety so we are now going to learn a piece of Zayed okay so I'm going to read inside the underline is I underlined a lot but you'll notice that I have numbers on the margins one two three four five and the next page of six seven eight nine so I'm gonna try and help you with navigation by telling you which numbers are really I'd like you to look inside it's don't be afraid you're not going to fly away okay you're strong it's not going to leave you go I'll give you a guarantee I'm stopping from the beginning okay this story happened a little while after that passed away was very upset is lay down on the ground after he kissed the Earth I'm sorry I didn't hear you [Music] he cried and he said Earth how much are you hardnecked come out do you have the whole of those who are the most precious ones to our eyes just swallowed up in you and he was talking about the fact had passed away or pillars of light the alma that give light to the whole world take levitated you eat up and you crush you grind the holy candle if I mean I'm I'm gonna go with the assumption that none of you are experts Andrea yeah but the nickname throughout the zoyah throughout desires the holy candle so it means was written by his talmouth his name was yeah well it's it's part of the safe and you must understand that desire disappeared for a thousand years and when they found that they found it in fragments so desire was written but the order was made by the people who who reconstructed it so why they put this in the introduction maybe in their draft it was that way maybe they decided to put it here so it's very in other words they say that injaya we're not sure about it desire God wanted the passage and the poor guy got he shoved everything racism even though nothing left so they're very small because we don't know how the originals there looked you know someone desire was found it was it was scraps it was fragments so whoever put it together the one who discovered it decided how to divide it up into patches that's the story okay the holy candle to having no hit Alma that brought light to the whole world the Great Master that means the appointed one was swallowed up by you so if he is angry at the ground you know he's angry at the Earth for swallowing up shiman hero the light of the candle the heat of the armored light of the world and Bali Biafra you have been swallowed up by the Earth and nevertheless the aunt still you Cayenne you still exist running the world is struggling he's very upset about this and he's angry at the Earth but he's appreciating that shipment is not like everybody else you know he's not like he's gone you know now number two where the vertical lines are is he became confused lost the screen of thought he became bewildered and some people can't bewildered because he hit him in the heads and become a welder because they drink too much alcohol some people can't bewildered because they think too deeply in other words their intellect is exceeded they go sort of pass their brain and that's how we understand these words the Ahmad all of a sudden sort of comes back to himself and he changes his tone completely and he says please look inside and stop talking or Leave the Room Afra afro Earth Earth Lotus God do not be ablegum the Lord yet master and Bach it was not given to you I moved to the alma the pillar of this world was not his father changes his mind and this is why I want you to see this first thinks that shiman was nostalgic and he was followed up by the Earth and then he sort of goes to a higher levels not didn't happen and he's not saying it because he's wishing and hoping he's saying it because it was emis was not swallowed up as you say he's alive and well foreign had this Enlightenment which added up to yeah did not pass away first he said he passed away and he was followed by the Earth and then he was no it didn't happen so he was now on a quest listen from that point on and by the number three in your text Yemen fasted for 40 days he wanted to see him he decided I one thing is for sure was not swallowed by the Earth I want to be there to see him so he fasted so he knew he knew he had to be worthy to see him the short answer to your question is this is Mystical this is spiritual what this means practically and physically I mean do you know the story that happened that I shot I told it to you last week I think I told you recently that the rabbit that ashagu wants dancing back office and in the middle of a coffer the rabbit says defeated dancing with us and then a shark says yeah and then everybody says you want to see and the shark says yes and he saw and he freaked out people describe he became so emotional he cried he was crying that night the next morning 12 hours later himself he was still crying so he did ever let him see so is it physical is it not physical it's it's physical but it's it's what can I tell you it's we don't understand all of us we believe all of this we learn about it but to fully appreciate it you have to be you know was then told after fasting for 40 days [Music] we're not letting you see it nope you want to see the German we're not letting you see him okay This is 40 more days wasn't giving up he says my Deb is alive I want to see him had a vision and he saw that Allah together they were busy studying Torah and what title were they learning together they were both still physically alive and Apria was in a pursuit of his rabbit of Shame and he wanted to see him and after fasting 40 days and 40 days more he was okay to see him and he found that what's his rabbit doing wherever he is he's learning the data and the tanayama down here in this world thousands of nishamas were listening to him teach repeating The Divided which is kind of interesting you know imagine you go to Milo and you see what nisham is doing lamella and this busy repeating what we discussed by a fabregan it's similar you know in some way as all this was taking place he saw massive wings and I'm going to translate wings as Malachi saw angels if you want to speak in physical terms these were shuttles you know you know what a shuttle is a shuttle takes my place to a place they take it from a place to a place and this is of course what what kind of a wing is it that can move you from a world to a world uh Mr Lika will live in the sun climbed onto this is and they went up to a higher Place went to the Yeshiva which is in Canadian waiting for them so being renewed and beautified in their shine an extra light the championship he had effect on the whole environment that was going on over there physically alive he fasted 80 days because he wanted to see his rabbit after 80 Days of fasting he's already got to see him and after he sees him and he hears him learning Tata and again what title was he learning he was repeating what time is he said in this world checks out he goes up and leaves so desire continues foreign they let me um he should be able to see become a how much that Hashem is planning to renew and paid sadikaya the face the light the countenance of the Aussie in a time in the future in other words he says it again let him see what's going on in other words we live down here we learn Taylor we do Mitzvahs why because Hashem said what are we accomplishing we believe that it's good lamilla you could see the effect of these tayden so it's especially big what's going on here the lifted guys of the tables that we do in this world is very lucky any person especially who was still in a physical body who can come up to the higher Heavens without being ashamed in other words he deserves to be there and he's pure enough he was able to stand in that world as a column that's so hard and so strong that he can stand in all of the Worlds foreign remember that and then desire says who can come up to here only somebody is very very pure it's desire we're about to read that quote from the time yes right here and it's describing up here who went up to resisted in Ikea I got five more minutes right I have five more minutes so let's continue to read but when even though the shipments had his nothing to be ashamed of have across that he was embarrassed the Ishmael got a May and he left behind got married God May probably means his shirt maybe patches means his goof but it's hard to understand exactly how that would work so it says embarrassed of his shirt or his goof the O and he went up and yes a physical human being physically alive went up today invited him and he's sitting at his feet because that's how pure and his goof was Carl Norfolk a voice came out the ahmedan said turn your eyes away don't look look down don't look but the faculty don't look so I'm here listen to what he was told Mark hey no he lowered his eyes you know he didn't look up a light to have a noise which was shining very far away and then color a Hadid a voice was pronounced Camilla Cadman as from before it's like a basket of Ahmed in its head he law into meeting Stephen the soprano ones who are the secret and the Mysteries bikini any open up your eyes you could look and see tattooing those who are below means that they sleep that they're shameful steaming that are hidden in your holes is out of wake up in other words those who are on a higher level should look those on a high a lower level should wake up but then it says these words and this is quote desire took the straight out of the time yeah you understand who amongst you to the bright light should come up here and up here was there and up here was physically in this world and he was founded and he was told felt that he was worthy to be there this must mean I mean to put it in plain English he's outside the government who is Nevada his goof so completely there is Goofus in garnet okay bottom of the page number five oh this is happening he sees a bunch of that are surrounding and I'm assuming this means Allah maybe also physically alive but I could be wrong about this detail called in the comment all of The Columns of light that were standing there the harmony saw this legal life everybody is going from a lower level to a higher level Elon sulk and some are going up either knocked and some are coming down the Ayla the Kulu and those who are above them all Kama are seeing mother the Godfrey the master of The Godfather that means I'm assuming the master of all the Allah that he was coming and so all of these details some of them are very uh use a defeated term they're very mythological they're very spiritual but they all have meaning bottom line is to a place where physical people are not supposed to go and he was welcome Turn the Page Turn the Page okay now I'm running out of time so either hawk has all this is happening Sean McCallum who's sitting at the shipment's feet here's a voice that says make space make room is coming to the Yeshiva of this [Laughter] girls I gotta stop with you wait wait don't leave and don't stop paying attention Okay let the add start in 60 seconds I want to show you the end go to eight this depart that I didn't read with you I'm going to read the second group of girls you're welcome to ask me for the recording although there will be some repetition look at number eight same page you see where I'm reading here as all this is going on all of a sudden who's physically in a goof who gave permission to a man the son of a man lavish wearing the shirt the garments of that world or the gospel music world what's he doing here foreign the brightness of the candle of the tale yes him and his children or his son Yeshiva basically means he has no business down there they don't know what to do with him anyway let's bring him up here let's let's have him join our fabregan head now here comes the point give him time give him time says I'm three lines from the end if you lost the place that trembling can you imagine you go to Milo and you meet over there all the most important I mean who was on the list of most important who's who is and you come up with a goof and up shiman advocates for you and says give him time and they give him time and he left the message was crying tramples and he says fortunate is the portion of Alma in that world and especially meritorious is the portion he married it and appear comes back that ever said when he made his daughter they should look up desire does it need to be explained no is it cool or not now girls understand wait a second that I feel that what I read in the beginning today is more important in the end in the end it says give it more time we're saying the beginning the Earth never swallowed him out the Earth never swallowed him up that's why I started from here okay I'll see when I foreign [Music]
