Derech Mitzvosecha Minu Melech #13 - Mashiach is a teacher & a king, why both? RC Dalfin

So good day. It's the week of Tishabove. So we're getting ready for Mashiach's birth on tishabove. And we'll do that also by finishing the we're learning the appointment of a king on page 220 in the in this last chapter. The author of the third asks a question. Why is is necessary for Msiach, for the Jewish Messiah, the ultimate redeemer of the Jewish people and the world at large. Why is he known as King Messiah? King Moshiach Meliach. If everyone will be learned at the time, as it says in the prophets, one man won't have to teach the other one because they'll be knowledgeable of all of the. So what do you need a teacher for? So a teacher maybe, but a king, a king to and it's not just about knowledge, it's about follow through mitzvah, behavior. So every if every if everyone's doing everything right, do you need to have uh lights and and laws laws and lights um you know are to protect us when we make mistakes or intentionally speed or park illegally, whatever the case, or people don't behave and want to hurt other people, rip them off and all that. But if everyone's doing everything properly, which we're told in Jewish writings, that's the case. That's the period of Msiah. It's hard to it's hard to relate to, but be that as a may, that's what the Kazal say. So if we accept that and we believe it and we do, so what do you need a king for? So that's the question in chapter three on page 220. >> Sorry, what did you say? What do we need a what for? Road >> a king Moshiach. Melik Moshiach. >> Oh, okay. >> Right. We're talking about the whole idea of melik. >> So now in chapter three, the concludes the mimemer by pointing out to us that he he explained the virtue of David over King Saul Shaw. That was in the last towards the end of the last chapter. So now he gets to the the crux the epito the epitome which is the mashiach the raam puskins the rama writes he's the first and foremost thing of mashia is that he's a meliach so he's said this question in the beginning of this chapter three is why is it necessary to have a melamia if everyone's doing everything properly that was his question I want to continue now from four lines uh five lines down from the beginning of chapter. The concept of kingship of being a king, it does apply even over scholars. Although they kind of intellectualize, they study And they don't have to be they don't need the subservience of a slave like a of a slave to a master because they are inherently on that level because they are as we explained in chapter one the two reasons for needing a king. So the Reb says both reasons don't seem to apply. The first reason doesn't apply because they're not like a slave. They they are obedient. They do want to do what God wants. Here is his answer that the kingship of King Moshiach will be on a higher level and a level in which even scholars need it. And he explains infinite we go from from strength to strength. Adam there's no limits. It's infinite. There's infinite amount of levels higher and higher in when it comes to comprehending. And when Msiah comes in the future there'll be there'll be revelation of godliness by comprehending the inner secrets the inner meaning of known as Mr. Mashiach Mashiach Mashiach the king Mashiach he will he will teach the the pe the Jewish people on to the entire nation even what's now concealed mashiach will open up the secrets and the inner dimension of and teach it to the masses still in all He himself recognizes even more. As much as Mashiach will teach the nation the inner dimension of there still will be more that he himself knows and recognizes that he isn't revealing to the nation because he THEY CANNOT COMPREHEND certain ideas that are so esoteric and it's because of this level within Miach that we call him we call Mashiach king and he explains just as kingship here below. It's just the idea of subservience to a king. You you're subservient to what's above your mind, your incomprehension. Something that resonates well logically. You don't need to have the king to make the commandment. Even without the commandment makes sense and it's good in his eyes. The command is something that is contrary to the rationale and it's wondrous for him meaning it's beyond his comprehension and seems very um perplexing and very uh contradictory and makes no sense and nevertheless because of the command and the decree the king says do so and so even though it doesn't make sense to He's forced to do it and he knows his will to the will of the king. We actually learned all this. um he doesn't know the heart of the king and and the king's secretive time as I told you in last year is a reference used in etc referring to esoteric secrets that are beyond the average norm this is the level of nullification to WHAT'S ABOVE HIS ALTHOUGH THE PERSON IT DOESN'T RESONATE WITH THE person he listens to the decree of the king which by him by the king the the commandment IS PROPER AND it has a good REASONING BUT IT'S ESOTERIC AND THEREFORE HE DOESN'T SHARE WITH THE nation so using this as an analogy now comes the moral regarding there are certain mitzvah that are statutes and certainly not comprehend comprehensible for example the mitzvah of those are comprehensible yet there are mitzvah which are called statutes and they don't make any sense logically hey to a red heer the shis and not mixing wool and linen together. Forbidden to wool and and lin forbidden to mix each one on its own is for permissible. But if YOU MIX THEM TOGETHER, THE TORAH SAYS IT'S CALLED YOU KNOW HOW TO DO you know how to wear such a garment or sit on such a garment. Doesn't make any sense. If one and one are both good. So why isn't one and one two? It should be one and one too. So if I have cotton and cotton itself is kosher and I have linen and lin is kosher. So when I MIX TOGETHER COTTON AND LINEN IT SHOULD BE DEFINITELY KOSHER. AND the says no it's not doesn't make any sense. If you take each one with each one on its own with silk it's it's kosher. You go out of milk. You got to mix silk and each one says cotton and linen. THOSE TWO ITEMS TOGETHER DO NOT WEAR. You're forbidden to wear such a garment. Excuse me. The reasons for these these statutes will only be revealed when Mashiach comes Mashiach THROUGH MASHIACH. MASHIACH the meliach will say ladies and gentlemen I'm going to explain to you now the logic of the red heer and the logic of etc. >> Okay. What >> wool when I I thought it's it's wool in in >> YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. SORRY. SORRY. SORRY. WHOA, I GOT I got I got mixed up. Right. Thank you for the correction. I'm glad whenever a student corrects me, I'm very happy. It shows you listen to me. Okay. Okay. Thank you. What about to Meliach? What will be the revelation to him since you're saying that he knows the tomos the hidden esoteric reason? So he says HE TO HE HIMSELF HE'LL HAVE A LOT greater revelation that won't be able to be revealed to the nation even at the time of mashiach. Mashiach will have a much deeper understanding of the mitzvah of and BUT THAT LEVEL OF knowledge he won't be able to review as it says by at regarding Mashiachi my servant will comprehend exalted venisa and uplifted and very high in other words it's three terms exalted lifted and and and and and very high referring to a level of knowledge that's beyond the AVERAGE MAN during during the time of Msiah. We're not talking about now while we're in exile IN GOS TALKING ABOUT MASHIACH. SO THE prophet in writes writes this says this in the verse implying that even there's something that won't be COMPREHENSIBLE TO THE AVERAGE person even at the time of Msiah. Hey ali, these are the elevations. These are the five >> elevations. >> What? What does it say? You have an English one. >> Five levels of elevation. >> Five level of elevation. Okay. I never I never I'm not never didn't come across this before as far as I remember. something called five levels of elevations higher esoteric levels rungs of understanding he'll comprehend from a oh sorry now remember what was the question the question was regarding why he needed to have in addition to giving him 70 years 5 years from a uh 27 year 28 years from from Jacob and 47 years from Yoseph. So now the is explaining them regarding Mashiach. Those are the five elevations from the words. You take the word and you reverse it. you get you don't reverse it backwards to forwards but you take the olive from the middle and then you take the dollar and the men which will be greater than this is why we say that Msiah WILL EVEN BE GREATER THAN than because superal wisdoms and why why will Msiah be greater Messiah is galv Uh why is that? Why Mark? WHY WILL GOD REVEAL TO MESSIAH even greater revelations than to first man Adam? Adamarish was the general soul for all souls. And the answer is because HE WAS A GENERAL SOUL FOR all souls as they are pre-Miach. So he gave them top level wisdom but just in the realm of premiah he didn't he didn't deal or it didn't have it seems like that level of experience and god godly experience revelation that Messiah WILL HAVE BECAUSE MESSIAH is is is reserved his teaching his leadership mel Messiah is SPECIFICALLY FOR THE TIME OF MASHIACH OH, FOR THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING even greater than back into the text. >> Just before you go on, there's a there's a helpful note here. Um, Mayode also serves as an acronym for the names Mashiach, Adam, and David. Yes. Thus, the five levels that Seak mentions are identified with Adam, Abraham, Jacob, and David. >> So, we got again Abraham, Yeitzk, but how does Yeitzk come in? >> The five are Adam, Abraham, Yeitzk, Yakov, and David. It's bringing together the two the two ideas. I think that uh that that the life of David came from Abraham and Yakov. And uh >> but but h >> it did not it did not come for we learned it earlier it specifically excluded because is gora didn't have to have more gore in his life. So how does he say over here? >> But but maybe Msiah then. >> Okay. But I hear BUT YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE SAYING THE NOTES. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE YOU'RE you're tell you're explaining the five. But I'm questioning the second of the five. The third of THE FIVE. BUT WHATEVER. OKAY. It has to be looked in. I mean this is whose interpretation over there. Who gave the kabad.org? >> Kabad.org >> from the website. >> Well, that that doesn't get tell me that they're right. I have to check that out. But but I hear Okay, let's go back to the text. Therefore, Mashiach won't only be a teacher. He'll be king. Mashiach although we will all be at a level like scholars like to the point that the reasons the inner reasons for will be revealed to all of the Jews. That's that's the accomplishment of the time of Mashiach. Nevertheless, he repeats the point. Not everything THAT WILL BE REVEALED TO MASHIACH HIMSELF WILL BE REVEALED TO THE PEOPLE. THAT LEVEL THAT of of what Mashiach knows deep deep deep secrets that level are going to hover over the people. That's why he's called the king over them. Kingship Melik means I'm I'm instructing you something that's not that you aren't ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT ON your own AND YOU HAVE TO BE SUBSERVIENT AND LISTEN AND FOLLOW. If we if we IF MASHIACH IS ALL ABOUT I UNDERSTAND THAT. SO WHAT DO YOU NEED MASHIACH FOR? So you say what that Mashiach is about teaching the inner okay but once we're going to experience the inner aspect of why do we STILL NEED A KING Mashiach that says because there are certain things THAT THE MESSIAH that you don't know and only Mashiach knows and and when he makes a commandment even then you need to follow. So, and that's so he's he's he's CALLED MECH NOT FOR THAT ASPECT OF THAT WE COULD FIGURE OUT OURSELF or that we come to know the secrets but it's it's BECAUSE OF THAT ASPECT of Msiach that's beyond our comprehension and it's beyond REVEALING IT TO US AND FROM THERE HE MAKES A COMMANDMENT Messiah and we follow. So the bottom line is that kingship right? What do we understand from this? The whole idea of being a king is to be subservient beyond greater greater transcending our mind. If you can understand something AND FIGURE IT OUT, YOU DON'T need a king. You need a teacher, a good teacher. But then there's certain things and and by the way, the mitzvah of so but it says that the hook and the statutes that we'll we'll see the reasoning of the statutes when Msiah comes Mashiach will will reveal to us the inner dimension of of the my question still is whether there's a level of that even then won't be revealed. I don't know that now explains this concept in cabalistic terms. It's like this the creatures of the lower worlds they have a lower king upon them. It's called Malus. the 10th emanation of the world of ailus that becomes kind of a crown for the next world the world of creation this means that the level of it's above logic it transcends logic it's associated with the word someone who removes mountains meaning in this case they've been removed moved and separated from the comprehension of creatures that are under three worlds. In other words, it's a different category. IT'S COMPLETELY REMOVED. NOT IT'S a gradual removement. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT TODAY, BUT TOMORROW TOMORROW I'LL UNDERSTAND IT. NO WAY. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT LEAGUE, a different category. That's what do we say? WE SAY THE BALUS OF THE HIGHER WORLD of becomes meaning I I explained it before. It becomes a crown. That's not the wrong here. It means it's removed from Bria. He's ting here. what I said has another is explained elsewhere but here he seems like he's he's interpreting in just the opposite the level of is removed from IT'S ONLY LIKE A CROWN LIKE IT HOVERS OVER HIS HEAD IT'S HOVERING OVER US THAT knowledge analogous to the decree of a king OVER A SERVANT THAT THE SERVANT DOESN'T GET IT AND DOESN'T WANT IT and doesn't agree and doesn't want to listen and YET HE PUTS ASIDE HIMSELF AND HE listens to the master because the the because this information transcends comprehension and HIS COMPREHENSION AND THEREFORE HE KNOWS that it HOVERS OVER HIM. HOVERING OVER HIM IS ANALOGOUS TO SUBJUGATING YOURSELF TO the wishes of the king. And we call this of the level of you following over a now he says however WHAT ABOUT NOT THE creatures of of world of creation formation and action BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SOULS AND THE SHAMAS INOS SAYS THEY'RE called brothers to the midos and to them it's not encompassing and concealed they're called literally brothers canal to the emanations so so far the says that this scenario of of the being a crown hovering over the briatio is JUST TO THE BRIATIO BUT NOT TO THE SOULS in ailus says that sorry chap there there's also an aspect to the to to to the light to the energy that exists inus OVER THE SOULS THAT'S ALSO encompassing mak what is that? This is the level of primordial man of primordial manicus THAT BECOMES ANUS. What does it mean? We say this in Hashem is exalted over the days of the world. These are superal days referring to the every day is another Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Tuesday etc. Seven midos. So theos is removed from them and very uplifted very above them from their comprehension which is which would be the level of primordial menus. So what he introduces here is a concept in cabola. Did you did you ever learn about this concept of kadmin primordial man? Now what is kadmin? So one statement in the is that god god like pierced and and from the perspective of kadman and said I want a world. So it's pre-world it's the primordial man the primordial state of being right or some explain it primordial man p before marisha. Okay so here he says that from that perspective even atos has an artic on it. Until now we learned that the the the atic the the the encompassing and hovering the incomprehensible is associated with the ailus COMPARED TO BRIATIO. NOW HE'S GOING TO STEP UP AND IS really if you look at the relationship between the emanations of Ailus I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE LISTENING BECAUSE this is deep stuff that THE EMANATIONS OFOS COMPARED TO HIGHER THEY'RE ALSO REMOVED COMPARED TO WHAT COMPARED TO ADAM KADMAN THE PRIMORDIAL MAN BECAUSE EVEN THE LIGHT and energy ofos although it's not bria it's not creation Yet IT'S PRECATION BUT CREATION ALREADY has a place AND KATAN is even more removed less place less room for creation and also for comprehensibility of creation. So from THAT PERSPECTIVE HE says the the the there's a toil from the perspective of higher next page top of the page. Oh where will be where is the source of Msiach? Not in but in primordial man that says regarding Mashia all of regarding it says wife. Sorry doesn't need the years that David needed because David was from as we said earlier in the he received life from first man of from the and the patriarchs. So canal bay these are referring to the 10 ammonations. Conversely was given the infinite himself God himself. That's why he will also be a king over the Jews. Although he will be a scholar and although he will reveal them in the the meaning behind mitzvah but he he repeats his point but he won't reveal everything that's been revealed to him. Therefore is called a teacher, a rabbi the aspect of Mashiach that he will teach us the reasons for the the mitzvah that we don't understand now or know for that that's why we will call him Rabbi Mashiach Rav Mashiach teacher name but that part that still hovers is over us and we still don't understand even during the time Messiah we WILL CALL HIM WITH THE TERM MALIK MASHIACH King Mashiach because just like a king you're subservient to him there'll be an aspect OF KNOWLEDGE THAT WON'T BE REVEALED AND WILL BE SUBSERVIENT TO Mashiach and this is also explain the the concept a cabalistic of malus of the infinite which is even higher. I'm not going to go into it, but maybe you and the the the expert, THE KNOWLEDGEABLE one who has knowledge in Kabal will understand. We're going to have a shir tomorrow actually a fabbran a faban a premiah faben because Mashiach is born on tishov. So we need a fab about it. Have a great day everyone. Thank you. >> Thank you. Thank you.
