today's class is dedicated by nancy
miller in memory of her parents
rip moisture beneliezer
and cyril bastrop david on the occasion
of the yard site
on the sixth day of other
may the light of their memory continue
to shine may they continue to be good
inter-betters
for their entire family we may all be
reunited with our loved ones with the
coming of meshiach thank you very much
for your dedication and deed to all of
your blessings and tahini
but
always be a source of blessing for all
of you and the entire family and all the
jewish people also dedicated by absalom
potash
in the loving memory of his father
and esther whose yacht said was on the
fourth day of other tahinish mosques
if you want
there's a famous story everybody knows
that the gemara tells in tractate
megillah
i think it's page 13
that haman
when he cast a lot
to figure out what would be the best day
to execute
his genocidal plan against the jewish
people
so he was extremely overjoyed when he
saw
that the lot fell out in the month of
other
why because the month of other is the
month when moishe rabbenu passed away
on the seventh of other
zion other
and
for this
so for haman this
was a great
sign that his plan
might khalilah be successful the gemara
continues
did not know that it's also the day that
moshe was born it's not only the day
when maisha passes also the day he was
born because on the seventh of adam
maishrabenu both passed away and was
born as the gemara learns out from the
psukem
say that today i became 120
years old today the very same day of his
birthday is the day that he also returns
his soul to its maker
so haman thought this is such a glorious
sign for him but he didn't realize the
day has also an opposite meaning so
commentators ask a question it doesn't
say anywhere in humash clearly that
maeshrabenu passed away on the seventh
day of other it doesn't say there's no
date for martial benue's passing his
brother aaron it says when he passed
away reshri deshave but that's the only
art site that's mentioned in hamash no
other yard sites are explicitly
mentioned in humash the way we learn it
out is the gemara has a whole way of
learning it out that after moisha's
passing yahshua and the jewish people
mourned for 30 days
and then hashem said okay after 30 days
in three days you're going in territory
syrah
and they went in there to israel on the
tenth of nissan so from that taj mahal
we figure out that moisture no passed
away on the seventh of adr
and then the gemara says and since
moishe said that today my years are
filled we know that it's also the same
day when he was born in other words it
was 120 dead years from day to day zayn
added another if so if haman was such a
talmud
and haman was such a lambda and harman
knew not only what it says in humash but
he also learned he also knew what the
sages expounded from the sukham and
yahushua that maishrabenu passed away on
the seventh of other so why didn't they
teach the second part of the gemara when
he left for that part of the class the
first part of the shia that maishrabeno
passed away is inaudible
the second part of the shia a line later
harman left when he was checking his
phone what happened that harmon missed
out that point of the the first
thing is not explicit the second thing
is non-explicit they're both implicit if
muhammad was such a scholar about jewish
dates even things that are not explicit
in the tanakh why didn't human know that
as well
so there were two contemporaries who
gave both the same explanation they i
don't think they knew of each other
because they lived in different parts of
the world the adrianas
was one of the great sages in germany in
the eighteenth century and in ukraine
you had nakam of chernobyl one of the
students of the balsham so i saw that
the mirenay which was authored by
abnormal of chernobyl
in partial tetsava he has an answer and
they say for yaris vash from the biennis
in april he gives a very similar answer
they lived in the same era but i don't
know i don't think they knew of each
other
so they both say as follows when the
gemara says haman didn't know it was the
day that moishe was born it doesn't mean
he didn't know that it was the day of
maisha's birthday he may have known that
it was the day of maisha's birthday just
like he knew it was maisha's yard say
that's what gamara
gemara means is as follows he knew that
it's the day that maisha passed away
he didn't know that the day that maisha
passed away is the day that he was born
not talking about his own birth birth
but rather that the day maisha passed
away it's not the day that maisha's life
ended
it's the day that moishe's life
began and was reborn
in the soul of every single jew
so moisha's death was not the end of
mash's life it was the end of maisha's
physical life as an individual
but it was also the beginning
of the birth of maishrabenu in which his
soul
was so to speak transplanted a piece of
it a spark of it in every single jewish
soul since so that the day that he
passed away is not the day that maisha's
life ended it's a day that his life was
multiplied instead of being one person
it became millions and millions and
millions of people as the gemara says in
massachusetts maisha told the jewish
people in parishes akiv
and now what does hashem ask of you only
to fear him so the gemara says atu mil
sutra sahih is fearing hashem such a
small thing to say what am i asking of
you already what i add i asked you to
hang up your coat what's up
what is he already asking you the gemara
says it's such a small thing that you
could say what am i asking of you yirish
hashem is not such a small thing so the
gemara answers in lugabe
from maisha it's a small thing
the question is maisha wasn't talking
about himself he was saying you saw
martial
what he's asking of you how does it
answer the fact that for moisha may have
not been so big so the tanya says in
chapter 42 that every single jew has a
piece of moisture when the gomorrah says
it doesn't mean relative to moisture
himself means relative to the moisture
within every single jew irish shamayim
is
inherent to the very fabric of the soul
of the jew so the gabe that moishe was
born when moishe passed away it didn't
die one mushroom that's what haman did
not realize
and that includes the fact that moisture
we say tara sivalano mashima russia
even though physically maisha passed
away so many thousands of years but
moishe's words marsha's life maisha's
maisha's presence monsieur's teachings
my sister lives on in the mouth of
every single jew who learns tiredest
sins tyrants of allah
it continues the bossic says when marsha
passed away
nobody knows the place of his burial so
it's also symbolically not just
physically they don't know the place of
his burial you know in a way nobody
knows the place here you can't point and
say here moshe is gone marsha's end
mouse is buried because moshe's
so much of maisha's life continues we
call him
that's the name that jews call him moshe
our teacher as a teacher
martial abano
never ceases to teach never interrupted
his teaching
to the point the gemara says that every
talmud
is still called maisha because that
spark of moshe still lives on and that's
why
we say
nitskis everything in toyota everything
that marsha taught
is eternal it's timeless it continues to
live
so this is an opening since today is
zion other aleph the seventh day of
under aleph so it's the connected to the
yardstick and the birthday of
maishirabeno
we're going to take one of the mitzvahs
of parshastava which at first glance
seems
completely not relevant to today's
time to today's age and yet show the
timeless eternity of it
and relevance of it just like everything
else in my s torah because the day that
masha passes is really the day when
maisha
is born in everybody's soul and
everybody's heart
so pasha's tetsava
deals with the mitzvah hashem tells
maishirabain
he tells martial
to
oversee and organize the weaving
of all of what we call big de kohuna the
priestly garments
after parshas truma which deals with the
construction of the mishkan itself the
sanctuary parashat sasava deals with
those who are going to serve in the
mishkan which are of course the kaya
named aaron and his children in that
generation or kyanim and subsequent
generations and part of the service
required that they do on special
uniforms the ordinary cayenne had four
garments that he dawned each morning
before he came into the mishkan or the
bay samitos to do that
and the cayenne goddess
had eight garments four of the ordinary
cayenne and an extra four the four
garments that the ordinary priest
dawned before entering into the mishkan
to do the service was the signus
and avenatti which means a tunic a shirt
and pants
and a hat and an avenate a belt a girdle
a garter the kind goddale who served in
the mishkan aaron or in the bassamikdesh
in later generations he had eight
clothes shmain upgrade he dawned eight
garments and they were mitzner's which
is also a hat and then the number two
was the sinus
which is the tunic number three was the
avenate the belt the gartel number four
was
the robe or the coat
then there was
that sits that sits is
on his forehead there was a golden plate
on the forehead called that sits
engraved with the two words kaido shem
then there was the mikhnasayam the
congoldo's pants and then the last two
were khushin and aphid a fight is an
apron and horizon is
a breastplate and these last two we want
to focus on if you turn around
if you turn your sheet around you have
here the picture
i took this from the temple institute
may not be the most accurate there's
maybe a few flaws here and there but it
just gives a general description of the
last two garments that we want to focus
on you have here the aphoid and the
the apron
which hung in the back of the kind
goddamn the lower part of his body and
the which was the breast plate that you
could see on his breast so you also see
on top of his head you see them it's
neff as the hat on his forehead you see
that sits
which is that which was on his forehead
the plate on his forehead which was made
of gold you also have the blue robe made
out of turquoise trailers under the
apron and under the breastplate that is
called the ill the robe under that you
see the white you can see the sinus the
tunic and you'll see that the blue robe
has bells and pomegranates on the bottom
so when iron walked in there was a
ruckus there was noise that was made
but above everything you had these last
two garments the aphrodite and the khash
what was the aphrodite the aphoid rashi
famously says
that rashford gives a very interesting
example
of um
rashid says in parishes
that the aphid us
shall
no
that's the language russia uses
sinar in hebrew is an apron so rashid
says the aphid
is like the apron that women who ride
horses
wear
and the story that was always told in
the khadarim in jewish schools was that
when rashi was walking one morning to
his yeshiva he saw a woman
riding a horse
with an apron and rashi asked himself
why did god want him to see the sight
and then he realized that day he was
writing about the aphid and he was
struggling to understand what the aphoid
was so he actually very rarely that
ashley should do this he could say it's
an apron he could give but he actually
is very graphic so that's the story that
they used to tell them hey there that
rasheed sought
famous balsham the basham once said that
everything a jew sees or hears
is a lesson it's not random it's part of
my purpose in life nothing that i see or
i
is just a coincidence it's not just a
random mistake
you have to see and see you have to see
in things here every you have to see
things and hear things every day but
that also is a lesson so rashi gives
that example and he says that the apron
was
covering
aaron's back the lower part of the back
the lower part back in other words it
begins
in the waist and it goes down all the
way till the bottom of his feet
as you could see here they made the
apron covering the front but really it
didn't cover the front maybe just a
little bit mostly it was an apron that
covered the back of iron it also had a
garter a hayshev that allowed him to tie
it you could see the apron has a guard
tool that he ties so that it holds
and that was called the a fight
as you could see in the first source on
the other side of the picture the asu
parties that saw the perique household
chapter 28 of exodus of schmeiz deals
with the garments she says
they shall make the aphoid they of
course means the artisans the great
weavers those people who were hired they
were skilled work
they were the skilled artisans who built
the michigan and
have woven all the garments they should
make this a for this apron
zov
it's made of gold and hayles turquoise
which is a wool that's dyed with the
bluish greenish turquoise color argamon
which is a wool that's dyed with purple
tailashani dyed with scarlet red shaysh
mozzar it should all be woven with linen
myself designed a work of design that's
the aphrodite
so it was a very very like all the
garments made of rich fabric a
combination of all of these fabrics
materials mostly wool but also linen and
gold together this was the aphid
and
the pasta continues ah
yes yes
some of the big decohuna had shatners
yeah
that's a separate share but yeah some of
the priestly garments even the ordinary
cayenne the avenate the belt of the
ordinary coin also had shatners the
other garments not but the belt of
thorne also
that's why it was a problem for the
cayenne to wear any of these garments
not during that video during the video
says to weird so it's not a problem same
god who probably shatner's told them to
win but if he wears it's tom let's say
he's going to a
hasanah and he wants to dress up a nice
clothes it's a problem because besides
using the property of the mesa there's
also the problem of
avenate because of sharpness
yeah that deserves a shear why why would
it be shatness yeah precisely shot as
you see here you have trailers and you
have chase that's wool and linen
turquoise wool and linen
now
the apron though was not just okay so
you tie an apron and it covers the back
of iron all the way from from the from
the waist all the way down to the legs
the back not the front there's a guy
till but there's another part of it as
you can see in the picture
there were two straps that came out of
the apron and also from the back not
from the front as you can see in the
picture the one on the right there's two
straps coming from the back of the aphid
and they
extend upward
and the right one goes over his right
shoulder the left one goes over his left
shoulder and it comes till the top of
the chest the top of the torso under the
neck
and over there
as you could see in the picture
two annex stones were set and that's
what the pasta continues in the first
source of
you take two stones called shayam i
think it's called onix in english i
think o n y x if i'm not mistaken
israel
and in each of those stones
were engraved the names of the shvatim
six
on the right on the one right stone and
the other six on the other stone and
ketul dicema was done according to the
order of their birth
so
on on those straps coming out of the
apron that now came on top
of the show they came up on the
shoulders of iron or any kangado and
they went over the shoulders you had two
stones set
and in these stones they engraved the
names of
six shevataman one six so that all of
the tribes of israel which of course
included the entire jewish nation
were
remembered and engraved in the aphid
good question great question
the question is as we'll see in a moment
the same names were also engraved on the
khushin why the redundancy
right
okay great question
now let's come to the next garment the
next garment you could already see in
the picture it's called the kharshan or
the breastplate because it was on the on
the chest on the heart the rest of the
kind god it's called says the second
source
this is exodus again chapter 28 verse
15.
you should make
you you should make by the eighth he
says for us too they shall make here
it's about
you shall make which doesn't necessarily
mean that moshe may not have to make it
himself it means that moshe had to
oversee it yet
by the afraid he says they shall make by
the question he says you shall make.
again that which is on his heart on his
chest on his breast mishpat
which closer clarified the law my
sacrifice was designed
it should be similar
to the material that was used the way
the aphid the apron was made that means
of travis
so we have the same materials it's made
out of gold and turquoise oil and purple
wool and scarlet red wool and linen
that's woven together that's how you
should make it
and here again the terrace says
you put in the breastplate
four rows of stones and these were very
expensive jewels gems diamonds the
terror goes through
the four rows they're called arbat
touring four rows and each row you had
three of the stones so all together you
had three and then six and nine twelve
and what do you do with these stones
in each of these stones you engraved
again the name of one tribe hey you
didn't only have two stones you had
twelve so each stone can get the name of
its tribe the first stone was
the second one was shimon lavi yahood
then you actually engraved the letters
of that shame as the pasta continues
the stones
should be
engraved with the names of the banay
israel stame esther 12 names
these were
embedded these were engraved 12 names
each shaved had one stone that
corresponded to that particular tribe
and the last one of course was binyamin
he was the youngest one and that's was
the
the fascinating thing is as you just
asked
why did you have the same thing in both
of the garments it's not like the other
garments had the names of the jewish
people it would seem like a redundancy i
understand you want the kind goddel to
have the names of claudius engraved but
twice
on the aphrodite and on the
on the a foot it was just one type of
stone avene shayham which on the kaishan
happened to be the rock that was given
to joseph
joseph had the shayan the onyx that was
the rock used for yosef and that was the
two stones used on the a foot but you
have the twelve names in the a fight and
then you have the twelves names in the
kharshan but the difference is in the a
fight it's divided in six and six and
the fascia everyone has their own stone
their own space because you have twelve
you don't have two you have 12 as i said
four rows in each row you have three yes
what does it mean
it should be done kamasa a for the same
fabric the same materials are used for
the aphoid you also use for the kaisen
you're asking a question why does he
have to say kamaisa afa there's any way
specifying the materials you need for
the kashan so it seems redundant to say
kamaisa aphid right that's a very good
question
great question why do you have to repeat
it you're anyway telling me the fabrics
that you're using again you're not just
making reference to the aphrodite and we
have to infer it you're saying it
explicitly so why does the turtle have
to say good another great question
now here comes
another fascinating mitzvah
and at first glance it would seem like a
very strange mitzvah and please go to
your next source this is the third
source on the source sheets
tetsava perek
so here the numbers are easy to remember
28 28 exodus 28 verse 28.
foreign
now it's time to tie to connect
the koshen with its rings to the rings
of the aphid using a turquoise thread to
connect the two
villain
the breastplate should never
be dislocated or removed from the aphid
and if you'll see in the picture you'll
see what they did
you would think that the breastplate
how do most people
have something
staying on their chest or their heart
it's called a necklace
right
i don't have to
ah
it hangs it's a necklace that's what the
question was
so you would think you would have a
necklace around iron's neck the coin
goddamn and this would allow the
breastplate to hang that's not what
happened the tyrus says
the koshen remained suspended because it
was connected to the aphid so if you see
in the picture you'll see that the aphid
the apron when it comes up on the two
shoulders
there's two rings on the top
those two rings have a thread inside of
it
those two threads of turquoise now
extend downward to the chest to the
torso of the kangaroo and they connect
to the two rings on the top of the
kharjan and that holds the koshen on top
if you go to the bottom of the ocean
you'll see again two rings these are
called taba sah and again there's a
turquoise
thread in each of them and they go
downward and they talk they are tied to
the rings on the face of the aphrod on
the garter of the apron and this allows
the koshen to remain fully
uh
fastened fastened that's the word
fastened to the apron the turret says
for example if it wouldn't be tied on
the bottom so then the bottom of the
breastplate would sway back and forth
even though it would still be connected
on the top but that's forbidden
it can't move from the a foot if it
would be connected on the bottom not
connected on the top it also wouldn't
work it had to be obviously it had to be
fastened tightly on the top and on the
bottom so when the cayenne god will put
on his garments the
aphrodite were always not just connected
not just near each other but they were
tightly fastened to each other that the
never moved away from the aphid as rashi
says it was never nividal it was never
misaligned it was never separate it
never even moved a little to the right
to the left off center of balance it was
always tied
strongly and powerfully to the aphid
the rambam and the next source
formulates this
practical law rambam hillchrist
this is maimonides the laws of the
vessels of the base amicus chapter
just see how he defines it practically
um
you take chains which weren't chains
made out of metal but chains made out of
so this church called change but
basically it was
it was connecting a connecting
instrument
some form of
hashes is like a shallows like a
connecting instrument that goes from the
rings on the shoulders of the apron
remember the apron came up on the
shoulders and it went down till the
rings of the khershan on the top kadesh
they should experience vegas so that the
two garments become
interlocked or interconnected
vacus which means they cleave to each
other
quoting the passage of course in tetsava
the khushan shall never
move away from the aphid and the rambam
says
this is one of the
365 prohibitions
we know that there are 365 mitzvah
slices that were given to the jewish
people 365 things that the blueprint of
hashem for the jew and for the world
deems these things forbidden one of them
is
what does that mean practically
somebody who decides
to move the kaiser from the aphid
there's different types of yatsaharas in
the world
one of them apparently is somebody may
be moved i don't know why but somehow
this guy doesn't like the position of
the khash so he's going to move away the
question from the aphid
allow it to sway um
and he's going to undo this
intricate connection between the two
derek kilcu in a way that he wants to
ruin it sometimes a person makes a
mistake
obviously these things happen we make
mistakes but if it's done intentionally
in order to ruin this connection like
there's the penalty of lashes now
practically speaking to get such a
penalty wasn't easy because you had to
have witnesses and the witnesses had to
warn the person and the person had to be
warned not only that you're not going to
do it but the consequences and then the
person had to acknowledge verbally to
the witnesses that he or she understands
everything they said and they're still
doing it and then they have to do it
within three or four seconds so you
can't say that they forgot about it
there was just a senior senile moment so
practically speaking it was almost
impossible to get malcolm because if you
really did this all you had to be crazy
and if you were crazy anyway couldn't
get punished so it was really very
difficult but that's not the point the
point is that it's a serious prohibition
with a serious penalty
so that there is
so you think that the breastplate was
hanging from the neck like a necklace no
way
no it had to be connected to the aphid
and had to be fastened on both sides and
that's the way that the khashong was
carried by the kain gundle every single
day during the avoider and now the
obvious question is what's
very good what's the big deal right
what's the big deal if the question
sways a little bit from the a fight to
the point that we say it's one of the
mitzvoth slices just like a jew is now
let him eat blood and allah eat pork and
aladdin
i mean there's different levels of
penalties but this is uh isr it's one of
the prohibitions in titan the question
is why
go ahead
how it's attached on the top
is there as much description on how it's
attacked on the box yes yes
in the sword streets i didn't put in all
the verses but if you look up our
statsava the toyota is very detailed
about how the aphid was made
how it's attached on the top how it's
attached on the bottom
and rashi
is very thorough in explaining it and
today's commercial they have a lot of
pictures to make it easier for the
reader because when you just read the
khomeshin rashi you know you have to use
your imagination it's not always easy to
imagine it but like these pictures and
many others many mushrooms have the
pictures but here it's actually pretty
clear it's pretty good here
yeah
you want to know if he slipped it off in
the evening when he uh when he went home
the question is how did he get out of it
each night he went home at night and
then he put it on in the morning before
he started that void
that's a good question i'm not sure
did he just slip it did he untie it or
did he uh
right right
you want to know if at night he was
allowed to open up the bottom
means during that
while while he was dressed with it
it's interesting yeah
i have to research probably says
somewhere exactly how it happened
so in summation before we get to the
next step
we discuss the fact that the names of
the jewish people are on both garments
but not on the other ones only on these
two which is interesting on one you have
12 on the other one you have two stones
we discussed the fact that the aphid and
the kosher are the only two garments
that have to be connected in such a way
because the pants were pants and the
shirt was a shirt and the guy till was
over it obviously the guy will tighten
the shirt and then you had a robe that
was self-contained but the ather and the
khoshan had to be connected together to
the point that
we discuss the fact that by the eighth
way that says you they shall make by the
question it says you shall make we
discuss the fact that by the khushan he
makes sure to say it should be made just
like the aphid kamayasa effort and all
of these materials are
are introduced both in the aphid and in
the kaisen
now here before we go to the next step
to understand the deeper meaning of all
of this and the relevance of all of this
when the terrorist says you should make
the aphid with gold turquoise purple
scarlet
and linen
how exactly did it work
so rashi explains and our sages knew
this this was the tradition how it was
done that each thread
was interwoven from six in order for the
thread to be powerful and solid it
wasn't just a single thread
it was interwoven from six
so you had when you had a thread of
turquoise you took six threads of
turquoise and you you uh
you over together beefed it together so
it was that it was a solid thread the
same you did with our gumma
with the purple wool the same you did
with the scarlet red wool and the same
you did with the linen so essentially
and then you took them all and then you
interwove them all together so you had
four times six so you had six turquoise
six purple wool
six scarlet red wool and six linen so
that's six twelve eighteen and twenty
four but the toyota says jose had gold
so you had a thread of gold in each one
a sick thick thread of gold in each one
so you had a thread of gold that you put
in to the six threads of the trailers
are gonna
shine
so all together
each thread had 28
because it had 24
from the six times four four times six
but in each one of the four you had a
thread of gold so each hook each thread
was the strand really was comprised of
28 strands
seven strands of each if you want yes so
that would be 7 14 21 and 28
yes
and the question was made exactly the
same way
and of course 28 is
kayak which is why i mentioned that the
pasta kebab and the aphrodite are
imperial
and the passage about connecting them is
it's not random as we shall see in the
continuation of the class i'm just
inserting that into one of the exhibits
to holding your brain based on
the explanation at least one of the
explanations of this we find in the
writings of thyrizal
there's a safer called tami hamitzvah's
the reason for mitzvos that was
transcribed
in vital who was the great student of
the arizona he was the rabbi in damascus
and then he came to tsvas to learn by
the arizona in the 1500s
and in his safer timely mitzvahs
on the mitzvahs
he discusses this albeit in very
mystical kabbalistic terms
there's also a safer called panami
office
a commentary on hummus that was written
by repinkus horowitz who was the rav of
frankfurt frankfurt in germany frankfurt
mine he was a student of the market of
miss rich he's known as the baal hafla
hafla is harav pinchas levy-ish horowitz
it's
but he has a commentary on hummus called
ponemyoffice the beautiful face
beautiful countenance and there in
parishes
he also has a long explanation about
this then there's a safer called
authored by the samarth zadek who was
the grandson of the balatanya
and there in parish is a long
explanation
and i also myself had the privilege of
hearing
an amazing explanation that brings it
all together which i heard from the
laboratory many years ago
of other
the 21st of other 1988 which was also
partial to sava
so
combined from all of these sources let's
take a look
what our resell says it's your next
source one two three four fifth source
in your sword streets
taiwa mitsubishi la rizal parishes
translucent
glass or
non-translucent glass in other words
sometimes there is a material or an item
that is translucent it allows for that
which is inside to shine through it
that's called aspaklaria
because means
it's opaque
it's not so clear it shines through it
but it's not so clear it says that's the
aphid versus the
one is the back
the upon and one is the face
upon him
from the side of the face this is called
the kaisen which he calls the a-ramp in
a small face
on the back it's called a fight
what is diarrhea referring to what does
he mean
physically
the haitian and the aphid
were situated in two very different
places in the body
the khashogen of course was in the
higher part of the cayenne goddess body
it was on top of his chest on top of his
torso on top of his heart
it's called alev on his heart aliba
the aphrodite of course
was
on the lower part of his body as i said
it began
below the waist or by the waist and it
extended all the way down to the bottom
of the feet to the sole of the kind
goddamn now remember in the bassamites
and the mishkan they served barefoot
nobody wore socks and nobody wore shoes
it was just their bare feet connected
like hashem told moshe take your shoes
off your feet because this is holy soil
there was no need and it was actually
not good to have shoes to create a
katsitsa to interpose to create a
partition
so you say the aphrod went down all the
way to the bottom it was literally till
the bottom because he didn't have saks
and shoes at avoda
so the
is on the higher part of the body
and the aphoid is on the lower part of
the body
that's number one number two the kaushin
is in the front and the aphid is in the
back
the kosher of course when you look at
the kangaroo and you're looking at his
face you see right there in the center
of his body the culture the effort you
had to go to the back to see it because
the apron was not covering the front it
was covering the back as rashi says
like when people wear an apron it only
covers the back side and it also began
on the lower part of the body that's
where thyrizo says this is the ponem the
this is the face
and this is the back
what do they represent now each of the
garments was not just a uniform
that should be charming and interesting
and appealing and even dazzling in its
beauty it was also dazzling in its
beauty as the passage says it was le
covered el safaris it was glorious it
was harmonious but it also represented
a certain theme
a certain energy
so the kharshan and the aphrod actually
represented a paradox
the higher part of life
and the lower part of life the higher
part of the body the lower part of the
body the front of a person's body and
the back of a person's body
in a person's life you could say there
are parts of life that you will call
maybe the higher parts of life the more
refined
the more spiritual the more sensitive
the more delicate
the more exalted the more glorious
the more ethical the more spiritual the
more sublimated and then there are parts
of a person's life
that are lower there are the parts of
life and i don't only mean lower
physically but they're connected to more
baser components of a person's life
parts of a person's life
that may be darker more opaque
more challenging sometimes
even lowly different parts people have
people have in their lives let's see
the rasha tavis of aphid and this comes
from us
a fight is aleph fave of dallad your
next source
tahil and perik nun alef this is the
famous capital in tehillim some say it
in krishna alameta some say it after
tikkan khatsus
it's the misma that david sang
after the story of bathsheba
david bevoye love nassen
i'm going to teach the sinners your ways
so that those who transgress can return
to you
take a look at the first letters of
these words what do you have aphoid
alamda aphid is allah favor of dalit
doesn't even have the end election i
will teach those who sin your ways and
those who transgress and that's the end
aleph
what about khoshan
is made up of three letters
for this we have the possibility zion
chapter 97 in tehillim
and he said friday night
up in the capital leading up to the
khadadi
friday night we say six kapitlakh of
tehillah
which correspond to the six days of the
week
says
those who love hashem loathe negativity
he guards he protects the souls of his
pious ones rescues them from the hands
of the wicked shy mir
is the acronym of
shin
those who transgress those who sin those
who miss the target
and
is shy
protecting the souls of the pious ones
in fact christian as it says in swarm is
the same numerical value as mashiach
is 358.
known as 358 and mashiach is also shin
and mem is 340 plus uh there's 350 plus
s8
why what's the connection
what's the connection between the two
because it really represents two
different parts of a person's life my
higher life my lower life the life
that's associated with my front and the
life that's associated with my acharam
with my back very few people can be
defined as exclusively being a haitian
or being an athlete
most of us
vacillate between the two
people have very ideal lofty ambitions
and sometimes people have
darker besides their personality right
well they call it the good and the bad
and the ugly
we celebrate moments of of deep
brightness and luminescence
our face is shining
but we sometimes have to battle with
difficulties and challenges and darkness
sometimes life is a journey of serenity
a cruise through tranquil waters
in a beautiful serene sea or lake but
sometimes i need to navigate
storms
and tsunamis and hurricanes i'm in a sea
and the sea is extremely
tumultuous and i feel startled i feel
overwhelmed i feel confused sometimes i
find myself not a crew as a cruise in
the sea i'm not cruising in a sea but i
find myself on the front lines
of a battlefield there are moments that
a person feels their destiny or their
vocation or their purpose with great
clarity
and certainty and there's a lightness
pun intended
there's light and lightness in their
psyche there's a lot of hope
the heart is alive the heart is fiery
and alive there's passion
there's wholesomeness there's deep
connection
with myself with hashem with my loved
ones with other people
but there's moments that
i search for my place in the world i
hear the question ayaka
the question that hashem asks adam after
he gets lost existentially and
spiritually where are you there's
moments i'm overtaken by guilt or by by
deep shame or by darkness where a person
is disturbed and distracted by internal
or external challenges i may have deep
fears
or anxiety or wounds
that i don't know how to heal or they're
not easy to heal
or a person may have tremendous tension
in their life that they feel in their
body some people struggle with
with
serious serious addiction
or other forms of of challenges that
really
slap me down some people struggle with
with deep mental anguish or or mental
illness that can take me down into very
low places
sometimes i could find myself in in
quagmire sometimes i find myself stuck
in quicksand or in mud
it's interesting
the pun the aphrodite has a garter
the khashoggi doesn't have a guitar it's
a breastplate the aphid has a guytle and
that's how it stayed connected to the
body the torah calls it
a fight
is that words used for the belt for the
girdle for the garter
in yermia there's a very powerful
passage
jeremy apparently you'd gimmel prosecute
aleph chapter 13 of yermia is a very
very sharp chapter you could call it a
bleak chapter if you want
but there's a pasik there very very
telling possible
the navi says in the name of hashem
just as a person
takes an azer an azer is a belt a girdle
a garter
and
clings it
close to his or her waist
to the master ish to the loins that's
what the garter does you tie that belt
and it's clinging it's clinging toughly
there he says
bhakti god says that is how i connected
the jewish people to me
like a gartle i wanted they should be my
nation my people
for fame for glory for splendor but they
did not obey because when a moat when a
person is in that space of aphoid the
person needs to hold on very strongly i
have to connect myself very strongly
because i'm in a difficult place
i'm confronting challenging moments i'm
confronting lower parts what they call
the lower angels of the human psyche i'm
not in touch with my full presence with
my face the back is a metaphor for that
which
is
not capturing the full plymouth
pondemous premius the full depth the
full intensity the full presence of the
human life so a person needs to really
hold on very tightly again when i'm
traveling through serene waters it's a
tranquil cruise i don't have to hold on
tightly but when the storms threaten to
overwhelm me and become a shipwreck
physically or conceptually i need that
gartel to able to hold on extremely
extremely tight the word chef is also
from the word mahshava khaishev is a
thought
because thoughts connect you to places
you know we sometimes obsessively think
about things we call it internal mental
chatter remember that your thought never
shuts down people are always thinking
you may not realize that you're thinking
but you're thinking and even when you're
thinking about the fact that you're not
thinking trust me you're thinking and to
find that stillness and thought is very
difficult about shampoo once said
something very powerful he said
sometimes the whole avoider
that's demanded of a person at a
particular moment is to deal with a
thought
you know sometimes we look at life
and say it's all about actions and yes
actions reign supreme but he says
sometimes my entire service of god is to
deal with a certain makshava
really to get hold of a certain thought
to deal with a certain thought to
confront a certain thought to have
compassion for a thought to
to cultivate a thought to
to substitute a thought with another way
of thinking
so that's keshev
at this moment i really need myself i
need my thoughts to be able to be worked
out to be able to identify where the
thoughts are coming from and where other
thoughts are coming from
take a look at the gematria for a moment
of the two
when you look at aphid
this is the source above your meal aphid
image
the word aphid aleph fey dalid is paid
dalit and aleph is 85.
85 with the kylo kylian mean sometimes
you include the whole word has one more
it's 86 which is the amount the miracle
value of hashem is named eli kim
86. it's also the numerical value of the
word hateva which means the nature
aphoid with avov
afraid with avov is
yud and hey and hey together with the
name adna al of dallad nunyut youth cave
of case 26
al of dallad nunud is 50 plus 10 is 60
plus 5 is 65.
so together you have 91. that's aphrod
aleph fave of dalit without above it's
85. with above 85 and 6 is 91. that's
together utkevka and aladdin what's the
significance of this hashem has
different names utke utkevka represents
the name that is the core of existence
he was he is and will be
hashem
represents existence
when somebody says
i don't believe in god
i ask them okay do you believe in
existence
of course so you believe in god we don't
have in judaism we don't call god god we
call god existence you don't believe in
existence everybody believes in
existence
so you believe in god you just call it
existence but that's yut kevke
it's the organic it's the essence of
existence it's the reality of reality or
do you believe in reality of course i
believe in reality so reality that's a
chef it's the reality of reality and
everyone is part of reality there's
nobody is this table part of reality am
i part of reality i hope so
try to be
it's good to be part of reality part of
reality means you're an aspect of hashem
you're part of reality he's the reality
of real that's
him
the word teva
means tubu
when something drowns it's called tavia
it's covered up by the water in other
words
that the organic essence of existence is
eclipsed that's submerged to buvayamsaf
that's the word teva the word teva means
it's all divine but it could be
submerged it could be concealed and
that's the gematrix of 86 which is ali
kim that's a fight
aphid with avov so you have the vow
there is a flow but it's hawaii with
adna al of dala dunyud is ada shem which
means my master there's a difference
between yudkevke and al of dalai nunyut
when you call god existence it's not my
master it's existence it's me i am part
of existence my master could be
understood as separateness i have a
master and my master tells me what to do
so there's two types of mitzvahs there's
understanding of hashem speaks to me and
understanding of mitzvahs hashem speaks
through me
it's and and both are real there's the
element of adam's moments that i feel i
could feel separateness and i need my
master to tell me what to do to tell me
what not to do that's the concept of
adain
whatever it was whatever is whatever
will be the summation of all of it and
beyond that is divine energy so the
mitzvah is not god talking to me it's
talking through me it's talking through
the essence of existence
it's not for today's sheer but that's
one of the differences what's explained
between masculinity and femininity
men are commanded at least with the
siddhas the past thing is to wear yamaka
yamaka they say comes from two words
you know what it is yuri may kale
it represents your shaman that is
something above my brain there's
something above my head
so shouldn't a woman wear yamaka
he's saying you wear a shirt till it's
hard enough you don't need a yamakosa
a spitzel
right
you don't need that
okay so let's put it a little more
eloquently
if i may
no no no i mean
i'm just going to define it in words but
beautiful yes
i i didn't mean casual what you said
wasn't eloquent i just mean i want to
put it in the context of what we're
saying
there's the concept of ayamalka which is
above me
that's one concept that's called adna al
of dalai nunyut but then there is the
concept that the very being is a yamaka
the very being is a manifestation of the
divine and that's the concept of yudhi
vaave and that's generally the
difference between the masculine
component of judaism and the feminine
component of judaism so when aphid which
is begumatri la kim without avof
coming into adna
it's the way the person and this is
on a pretty lofty level but it already
teaches us that we're dealing with the
lower part of existence where there
could be separateness
where there could be detachment and
therefore the person is summoned and
invited to understand the concept of
adnos to understand the concept of
mastery so it's the way yut kevke
trickles through and is filtered and
processed through the name adana that's
why aphoid is the gematria not just of
ut kevke but of adna
we said is the gematria of mashiach
that's the concept of redemptiveness
vinniglaqvoid hashem
the core godliness and holiness of a
person emerges and that's why it deals
with the higher part of the person
versus the aphid which deals with the
lower part of the person and the back of
the purse
now
if you'll take a look in the next source
sheet the second to the last
yalcotrimony
moshe didn't want to take his job to go
to egypt and liberate the jewish people
i have an older brother
aaron hashem says don't worry aaron
levy is going to come to greet you
virach of samakhbeliba
he's going to see you and he's going to
rejoice in his heart now those are
important words because usually an older
brother for aaron to see moisture his
baby brother
become moisture banana it could be
difficult people are people
it's easy to get jealous and envious so
aaron is a good man he may greet moisha
verbally and tell him wow i'm so proud
of you marshall
you're the navi but the question is
what's happening in my heart you know
sometimes i had an uncle his name was
rip small leviton so he used to say it
says in so that the thousand for you
should have a leave in isbar should have
a humble heart at
our hearts so he used to say i like the
thousand for chakras
i like why he said he has a lady in his
bear why does he have a lavender because
he thinks to himself
i should have darwin music because music
is much more long and much longer and
everybody already comes to show by music
so he says i like the concept for
shakras he has a lady in ishmael i
should have died with muslim even if
you're gracious about it but deep down
you know eggbert the heart it's hard you
know why not me why not me i'll smile
i'll be nice i'm a gentleman i'm not a
kairo i'm not going to show my envy so
hashem doesn't tell i don't say my
sharing is going to be nice
of a
she's going to have
that's aaron he's going to celebrate in
his heart much of success so the madrid
says something fascinating
the heart
that celebrated the greatness the
success of his brother that's the heart
that wears the kharshan with the urim
and atom in the
in the breastplate we know it was folded
and there was the urim and tom ura means
light urim it illuminated toma means
matam it made wholesome that was in the
goddamn had that ability to illuminate
difficult situations and
to bring wholesomeness and completion to
dilemmas and doubts that the jewish
people had over history this was all in
the
spiritually it means and it was hashem's
name inside because the kharshan
represents that aloof that state of
aloofness and sublimity where the person
is filled with urim filled with light
and filled with tumim filled with a
sense of wholesomeness that shaymir
nafsha is khasidav
where the aphid
represents a completely different side
of life
now in life
we often tend
to separate between the two
and it's very natural we tend to create
a golf to create a
a
partition on a pizza
a dichotomy
between the two
there's a voice inside of us
or a voice that we bequeath from others
or a voice that we share with ourselves
that tends to separate the two and it
gives me two options
either it tells me to escape
to my kaisen to my shoimer nafta
of world or
it causes me to gravitate and that's a
good word gravity because
it's the power of gravity that
schleps you down so it's actually a good
word to gravitate towards the world of
the aphid
so the torah comes and gives us a
fundamental mitzvah
in life you're not
separate the question from the aphid not
only do they have to be connected to
each other but they have to be fastened
tightly to the point that they're always
functioning together
it's not that they're both there and you
acknowledge them both
it's almost they're not one garment
they're two there's a khashner and they
have a different design and they're
situated in a different place but
nonetheless
they never sway from each other they're
always fully aligned with each other
they're always fully as the rambam says
yidbuku they're with vacus they're
always connected
always integrated
what does that represent it represents
the fact
that even the lowest parts of my life
even the darkest parts of my life even
the parts of my life that are connected
literally physically emotionally
spiritually to what you would call my
helicopter
my lower components my darkened
components i have to connect it
with the
i have to connect it with the highest
most sublime most spiritual
dimensions of myself
there is now let it be any hevdle any
any half dollar we call it abdullah
any separation between the two i have to
create a very deep kinship
or intimate relationship between my
kosher and my aphid
in other words i need to learn to
integrate
both parts of my eye
both parts of my being without escaping
or fleeing to any one of the elements
because what happens is tyrus says
sometimes you want to flee
you want to
escape
to your higher self to your higher
dimension and completely forget
repress
forget
deny
your lower self
the challenge of that is
that when my
lower angels emerge it can really really
schlep me down and it could slap me down
in a very very dangerous way because yes
i fled and as long as i'm in this higher
space
everything works well
but when the lower dimensions emerge
what happens i don't have the tools i
don't have the consciousness i don't
have the resources
to deal with it
you know as a caller once uh kyle and
hussein once told me after they got
married they said our shidduch is the
perfect shidduch
because we never ever disagree
ever
so i said i want to suggest that maybe
tonight you could find something to
disagree about they said why would you
suggest it i said i'll tell you because
if shalom bias is based on the fact that
a jewish husband and wife never disagree
unless you're both saints and you're
malachi and i know i don't know her but
i know you you're not a saint you're a
regular guy guy
she also wasn't a saint but i couldn't
say it
that was the first disagreement that
they're not saints that was a
disagreement with me i didn't need them
to disagree with me i
needed said because because the concept
of shalom peace means when there's two
and you synthesize them
if there's only one opinion you don't
need shalom
the problem is there's going to be a
disagreement we need to learn to repair
when something is not broken it's
wonderful but when there's a rupture how
do you prepare from the how do you
repair the rupture
when there's a sphere when there's a
brokenness the kahala says
i have seen that wisdom has an advantage
over folly
like light has an advantage over
darkness
and desire it says only islam is this
i'm the only one who knows this everyone
else thinks that folly stupidity is
better than wisdom and darkness is
better than light
so the balatani explains is
he wasn't saying there's an advantage of
wisdom over folly and light over
darkness you don't need islam for that
there's an advantage to wisdom that
comes from fali and there's an advantage
to light that comes from darkness
to the light that's born
from the darkness from the struggle
so if i don't have the tools to confront
all of the components of my body and of
myself when that emerges
when i land from my escapism what
happens when i sober up from my
spiritual inebriation
i may stumble and stumble in a very very
serious way on the other hand there's
the other tendency and that is i want to
run
only to my darker parts some people
gravitate
to their darker parts and they deny the
holiness that's inside of them
they deny the beauty the glory the
innocence the idealism the selflessness
the godliness the transcendence that
exists in them
and what happens then is the person
decides i have to be honest
this is who i am
i am not a heavenly human being i'm a
very earthy
base
lowly sometimes i could say i'm a
grotesque this is i'm a grotesque human
being yes my lower angels dominate and
that is who i am and that leaves the
person
craving that leaves the person
thirsty
thirsty for meaning thirsty for purpose
thirsty for their true essence
thirsty for their their true inner glory
it means i have to master the art
of
integration
the art of synthesis the art of shalom
make peace and again i use the word
peace
meticul
intentionally make peace
with the two pieces inside of me make
peace
with the fact that the khushan and the
aphoid both
constitute
the very fabric and the very purpose of
my existence
a major part of existence is to confront
my darkness
and to transform it into light to
confront my divisiveness and to
transform it into harmony to create
harmony from the
from the colorfulness
of the human psyche to create harmony
from the chaos and the conflict into
human psyche and from chaos turn it into
a mosaic into a tapestry into a rainbow
that is comprised of different colors
and different paradoxes just like the
aphid and the kaisen were made up of so
many different fabrics
but the truth is it goes one step deeper
the toyota doesn't just say
you need an eighth fight and you need a
kharshi
and you need both
and you need to learn about both of them
the terrorist says something much more
than that
much more than this
and as we learned in the rambam when
somebody does move away the kaisen from
the a fight it's one of the 365
prohibitions in the title which means
it's basically defying a fundamental
rule of reality because when terrorist
says that something is forbidden for a
jew
it's not just saying it's forbidden as a
commandment it's actually describing the
reality an example if i go to a
nutritionist and the nutritionist takes
a blood test or i go to a geneticist and
he examines my genetic makeup and he or
she writes me writes for me a memo or a
paper and says these foods
what do they call it superfoods
superfoods yeah and then there's
pyruvate foods
yeah it's all right and then there's
lethal foods i just made up a word
what's the official one huh
off the chart it doesn't belong on a
chart
so somebody's going to come home and say
who does this nutritionist or geneticist
think they are to tell me what to do and
answer they didn't tell you what to do
they just describe to you the reality of
your brain the reality of your body the
reality of your organism the reality of
your blood type the reality of your
chemical physiological genetic makeup
now you can choose
you can choose to
build that organism to embrace it
and to live a lifestyle that will
keep it by hashem as healthy as possible
so you can live
the most optimal life physically
psychologically emotionally et cetera
with the most energy or the opposite
again a mitzvah is the same thing we
often translate it as a commandment
that's from the perspective of al of
dallas
the yamaka above me but from the
perspective of yud and hey and
it's much more than a commandment it's
describing reality
i can tune into reality
or i can tune out of reality i could
make believe i'm part of reality or i
could make believe i'm not part of
reality a fish can do the same thing but
not for long
a fish could make believe that there's
no law that it has to be in water but it
can only do it for a few seconds but
humans are more creative i can make
believe that i don't have to be in water
for a longer time
and it could last and my my brilliant
brain can adapt to this function that's
what we do
so when the titus says
whenever you see the word prohibition
it's describing the inner reality of
life
that to move away the kaisen from the a
for it somehow undermines the inner
structure the inner rhythm of life but
why
because the terror is saying the truth
is there's no question without an a
fight and there's no aphid without a
hush not just i need to integrate
there's no koshin if you want a hoshin
you need the a foot right there and if
you want an aphrodite you need a koshen
right there which means the lower parts
of my life
are not the tragedy of my life
it's not like i have to make shalom this
is it everybody has their peculiars we
say everybody has their tsaras everybody
has their struggles
that's not the way to look at it that's
a very superficial way of looking at it
the lowest parts of my life are actually
my pathways
they are the drachem they are my
pathways through which i will discover
my mission in life
my purpose in life my raising the etra
they will allow me to become aware who i
am
and what is at least part of my tafket
my mission my schlichters in the world
in other words you never have to be
afraid
of any part of yourself you never have
to amputate emotionally or spiritually
any part of yourself because any part
that comes up has meaning it has a spark
it has a purpose it's here to create
awareness
connect it to your kaisen
and you will find your mashiach
connect your aphid to your kaisen and
you will find your own internal
state of consciousness
there's an old story it's one of these
classics but it's
it's still good
as all classics are
there was this old chinese woman who was
very very poor and she would go every
day with her two buckets on her
shoulders and go to the river and fill
up the buckets with water and bring it
home so they had water
one bucket was whole the other one was
full of cracks so by the time she came
home every day one bucket was filled
with water and the other one was half
empty because on the way home from the
river to her home up the slope half of
the water trickled out of the bucket
after years of feeling like a loser
the cracked bucket vayifta hashem as
pihajavis the cracked bucket opened its
mouth and started to cry and weep you
know why am i the loser lama nigara here
my colleague near me comes home every
day with a full bucket of water and i'm
50 empty
you know see the bucket is half full
that's me
i could never be successful and i'm
always comparing myself
to my colleague and i feel like such a
valueless loser
so the chinese woman responds to this
bucket and says tomorrow
when we come back up from the river to
the house i want you to be able to look
below yourself and see what is on your
path
and tomorrow as they're walking back
this cracked bucket notices that on the
path from the river to the home there
are beautiful beautiful flowers
lilies and roses and other extraordinary
flowers
and the woman says you know when i
purchased you i knew about your flaws
so on the path
home i planted all of these flowers and
every day when we go home you water
these flowers
and over these years these flowers have
given our lives so much fragrance and
such an extraordinary aroma and such
delight and such ecstasy your colleague
comes on with a full bucket of water but
there's no flowers planted on that path
and of course there's a very profound
lesson here
it's not that
my bucket is cracked and now the
question is how i make peace with it how
i acknowledge it how i don't run into
shame run away into shame into denial
it's much deeper than that
when i bought you when i purchased you i
knew about every crack
and it's those cracks that allow you to
create that fragrance that another
bucket can't create
so when a person looks at their own life
and they see the alam the faisham draft
of
the aphid and they see that i am they
see a darker or lower part or different
different elements that i have to deal
with within myself so within my children
or within my marriage or within my
relationships or within my own psyche
comes the turn and says
there's no kharshan there's no mashiach
without the aphid it's precisely the
aphoid
that allows me to water those plants in
the world that only i could water
because of my flaws because of my cracks
look at every single crack you have in
your life and i promise you
if you look at it from a perspective of
divine consciousness not from a
perspective of shame and self-loathing
and insecurity you will see that there
is something that this person
can achieve in this world only because
of that crack there is an awareness that
you have there's a sensitivity that you
have there's a humility that you have
there was a jew once came to the malsham
tif and he said he wants a sileo annavi
so the mosham said it's not for you
you don't need it he nurged and begged
and begged he gave him an avoider for
ten years
after ten years he did everything that
barcelona had said
and he didn't sell eonos he comes to the
balshamptiv and he says 10 years down
the drain i did accomplish nothing he
says what do you mean so i didn't say
leo one of me ten years that were futile
the mosham says you accomplished nothing
after 10 years you became a humble
person
what's this you accomplished nothing you
became a halloween you realized who you
are you think you know how priceless
that is to be able to know who you are
in this world to be able to know who
you're not to be able to be comfortable
in your own skin to be able to
understand what aspirations belong to
you what aspirations don't belong to you
to be able to stop comparing yourself to
others
so the a fight is not just a mistake
that i have to overcome it's not even
just an obstacle
that i have to somehow make peace with
and deal with it's actually an
opportunity it constitutes the deepest
deepest
opportunity
for for for growth for for spiritual
spiritual prosperity
i think i once shared the mary nayama
china writes in parishes
i think it is the gemara says in yuma
habbalitaria messiah
somebody who comes to be purified
hashem opens up the door for him
somebody who comes to be
if i want to contaminate myself i'm
sorry somebody who comes to purify
himself hashem helps him
habalataya
somebody who's coming to become tummy
you want to contaminate yourself poison
they open the door for him hashem
doesn't take away free choice he opens
the door
says why by the taher it says messiah in
line by latami it says poison lice he
says when somebody is coming to be
purified or to purify others they help
him
when somebody is coming to be matama
themselves in other words somebody is
struggling with something that might
contaminate them poison life a person
has to know that this is their entrance
this is their pesach
this is their entrance to touch the
divine
or as he puts it when i'm struggling
with something that's to that could
contaminate me that can derail me poison
like this is my pesach as he puts it for
ruach for divine inspiration what does
that mean
habalatami is such a nuisance he's
saying no
if there's something i have to deal with
if i work this through
if i reveal the light in this place if i
bring in divine awareness and higher
consciousness into this place
poison life this is
[Applause]
this is my portal this is my path
i can't enter my path
i can't find my gate every person in
shama has their their gate how do i find
my gate many people walk into other
people's gates but if i walk into your
gate you know like in the amusement
parks it starts buzzing
i can't go into your gate i need to go
into my gate
how do i find my gates sharlasha
my gate i can only find abolitame
paiskinlai
seeing what i'm struggling with
seeing what i have to work through it
doesn't necessarily mean it was my
choice
but the fact that it wasn't my choice
doesn't mean i'm a victim to it it means
that this is part of the gifts that were
given to me even though it doesn't look
like a gift it looks like anything but a
gift
but only through this can my hair should
become the kharshan well
there's no kosher without without an
aphid
there's a story there was a big hostage
of the balatani's name was yakuzil
leepler rip cushiony epler and he was a
very spiritual jew and he once came into
his rebel and he said in yiddish
chop off my left side
which was an expression of saying get
rid of my eight sahara just chop it off
enough
so the balatanya went into a meditation
into advacus for a few minutes
and he emerged and he opened his eyes
and he said with a
mathias coulomb state
zion
it says that hashem
gives life to everybody and everything
so he says we're not going to chop off
your left side
we're going to do something much deeper
give it life
give it rius
hashem gives he used to everything we
say every morning in davonin
you want me to cut out a certain part of
you no you have to bring life to it you
have to breathe into it what does that
mean
what it means is everything in a person
has real life
there's real oxygen there because the
atom
hashem gives it life it may eclipse
what the divine purpose in that is so
that's your goal your goal is not to
amputate a certain part of yourself your
goal is
to bring life to it to bring a real
awareness to it not superficial
awareness superficial awareness is when
i just surrender
to a moment of anger to a moment of
jealousy to a moment of temptation or a
moment of addiction to a moment of guilt
or shame or frustration or loneliness or
isolation or freeze or fight or flight
that's
not acknowledging the inner life of it
that's acknowledging and falling prey to
the superficial veneer of it
bring life to every part of yourself
bring divine life to every part of
yourself bring
ah even the it's
your
was one of the great capitalists he said
youth kevke is a rasha tavis
yet sir
but here we have to understand the
difference there's something called the
scaffia there's something called the
scaffia means to subdue it means to
transform
sometimes i'm not in a position where i
could transform
sometimes i'm only in a position where i
could acknowledge
with compassion but i know that this
right now i have to go away from
or right now i can't talk about it
for example let's talk in a marriage
alone bias a husband and a wife get into
some disagreement
and some one of them is overtaken with
anger
just feeling a lot a lot of anger they
may not be in a position where they
could see what's behind the anger
and talk about the pain that's behind
the anger because anger is a secondary
emotion behind anger 95 percent of time
is pain i'm angry i'm angry i'm wrong
because i don't want to face my pain i'm
pain i'm lonely
but i can't at this moment i have to say
i'm in a very difficult situation i need
to be quiet i need to be quiet i may
need a few hours i may need a day a
person is experiencing a tremendous hate
sahara to something
i have to just run away
i have to run away to go and transform
it right now i'm going to get stuck
i'm going to be pulled down that's
called a scaffia
i have to be able to acknowledge with
compassion and say right now this is not
something i can transform on a deeper
level there's something called this
means realizing that there's a divine
hidden light
beneath the shell beneath the clipper
beneath the husk even the atari is
called clipper which means it's hiding
something like teva tuvo beyamsaf inside
there's something deeper and if you look
for something deeper you're going to
find a lot of good gems you'll find a
lot of avenues time you're going to find
anext stones
that go over the shoulders
and go even higher than the ocean
and the decreasion has to be attached to
the a foot not only the if it has to be
attached to the ocean so for this he
said
the katsuki rebbe once said
when you break a craving when you break
a tiva
you made from one two
it's like when you break
you break a glass you don't have one p
you don't get rid of it you have two
pieces
and now they're both hazardous right
i cut a piece of cake so now i have two
pieces of cake so he said when you break
your taiva
you didn't get rid of it oh you got rid
of it you broke it no no you just made
two and if you break it again
now you have four
huh so what did he mean
you never break your tiva no
you have to understand your taiva
don't pray you understand it
because when you understand it the
bashamtv once said when a thief breaks
into my house
one thing i can do is start screaming
and the thief will run away and i'll
come back tomorrow night
he said another eight i don't know if
you should try this
and your house said another eight says
sit down with him and i understand why
he's stealing
and then he'll never come back again
one second so now but sometimes i have
to scream yeah sometimes i have to
scream but the purpose is not to scream
the purpose is to work with it even when
you're screaming
don't scream from a place of denial and
amputation
you have to understand what's going on
you have to appreciate that this is part
of my reality
and right now the best i can do is
disengage from it
it's a disengagement say no
the srinivar of writes it says by vayimo
and joseph refuses or shall shell us
he says yes have told his wife name name
three times
i don't know that he spoke in yiddish to
patipha's wife but that's a
name
or an egyptian whatever however you say
no i don't know egyptian ancient
egyptian so sometimes i'm in a position
where i have to say no this is just not
for me i know it's damaging i know it's
destructive i can't transform it
i can disengage from it but with
compassion not by breaking you're not
breaking a part of yourself you're
acknowledging i have different parts and
integration is the key understanding
that i have
different dimensions
and they're all authentic and they're
all part of my purpose on a deeper level
the atamachaya school means that if you
go deeper you'll see that within this
craving there's a spark there's a search
there's a spiritual search
you're looking for something very
wholesome
it's translating
it's translates expressing itself in
something grotesque but it's not
first taste
and it's that's what he means a bullet
tommy poiskin lie if you work through
this aspect you will have the greatest
growth again if you want to talk in a
marriage marital metaphor the greatest
harmony between a husband and a wife is
from the moments of rupture
from those things that would drive them
apart from the disagreements from the
disappointments from the sense of
feeling estranged or emotionally
alienated when one when when together
they can work it through and see
what each one is struggling with
with compassion that then becomes the
strongest
link between them
why
because
in that space because you took the
weakest link and you turned it into the
strongest and whenever you take the
weakest link and you turn it into a
connection it becomes the strongest and
also because over there lay some very
very deep vulnerable stuff
in my darkness lay very very deep growth
but it takes a lot of compassion a lot
of compassion and a lot of courage to be
able
to be able to face it
so what does this mean in every person's
life
that every part of me
i have to be able to connect
with my highest
and deepest self
no part of my life
should i disassociate
from my highest part
my highest should not be disassociated
from my lowest my laws should not be
disassociated from my highest every
experience every feeling even a
sensation that's happening in my body is
all an invitation it's an invitation to
go deeper to climb deeper to reach into
a deeper place to become more aware to
help me reveal my authentic self my
christian so what i see as my lowest
dimension is really an invitation it's a
catalyst it's an opportunity to touch my
most spiritual vulnerable divine spaces
on the other hand there's no question
without an aphid there's no aphid
without a haitian and there's no
question without an aphid because the
purpose of the haitian is not to
disengage
it's to infuse it's to illuminate
from the lathe from the punan
into the akhir
mikha
israel
who is like your nation israel one
nation on earth doesn't only mean we're
one nation or a special nation this is
what makes them
israel that even when it comes to eretz
they remain echad the afters the unity
is not silenced when you come to arceus
when you come to earthiness
finally here we can come to the last
point
and that is
when you talk about the jewish people
there's two states of the jewish people
there's the state of the jewish people
the way they're in the aphid and the
state of the jewish people the way
they're in their hair that's why the
names of the shvatim were transcribed
twice not once
it represents two different states of
claudius by mata it says
hashem spoke to you face to face
i was there with my full heart
the that hashem describes beyond sender
iran
seeing look at the king the crown that
his mother made him
so the mission says in time
when there's a relationship heart to
heart it's called face to face
when hassan and akkal it says when adam
and cover were created they were created
like siamese twins back to back can't
see each other then there was a surgery
a surgical the couple they could look at
each other face to face what's the
difference it's a concept there's a
relationship where i can't see you and i
can't look at the other person in the
face
because of shame i can't look another
person in the eyes they can't look me in
the eyes so what do we do
means it could be two people they live
in the same house but they never see
each other back to back
we're connected and maybe connected by
the hip as they say
but it's back to back ah
it's the aphid it's not the hershey
it's not upon him upon him that's why
moshe talks to the jews and he says
sometimes your relationship with hashem
is ah
you're facing the back
because you're facing with your back i
can't see you
because i can't see me i can only see
you if i could see me but if i'm
relation related only to my own back i
can't relate to somebody else's
punishment somebody else is polymeous so
there's a concept of
after the sin of this the story of the
spies moshe tells the jewish people that
shaft
hashem they tried to go up there at his
role the next day by apilu and he said
hashem
because from a face you went to the back
and they they were in the desert for 40
years where the turtle says the navy
says
they were following
there's a relationship which i'm
relation related to somebody in a very
deep intimate exciting exuberant
enthusiastic way my face is present my
premius
and sometimes i'm feeling strife and
struggle disassociation
that's when i'm dealing with my own
wounds that's called i'm in a state of
akhirayam
it's hard for me to see the face of god
hard for me to see my my face my premius
what happens eric's stroll is the face
but they're going to be in the desert is
when hashem told moshe after the sin of
the spies
i can't do this anymore
let me just start over so moisture uses
this is the last source of
says i need now that the kayak of adana
should become stronger
like you said hashem
and he achieves again atonement for the
jewish people so they could stay in the
desert 40 years and the next generation
goes into syria
this is where al of dallas needs the
kayak of
remember aphoid
is havaya
in order to be able
to link the two
like the guy tool that connects you that
there shouldn't be a separation because
on the contrary there's the
and there's the a for it and it's both a
relationship and the truth is that
through the eighth you reach a much
deeper place that you can't even reach
without it
like he says
as a result of the story of the miragum
the glory of hashem will be revealed in
the whole world not just the night
sister all because the miracle was the
source of all the golos
and that's why the aphid was made of 28
strands remember back to 28
that's
the kayak the 28th strand and he says
that the
should be made just like the aphid
why is the khashoggian made just like
the aphoid because really the two are
not separate
by the question he says you should make
by the aphrodite says
they should make
himself
which was in the shells
himself was always face to face so you
make the kash the a fight the second
third person they shall make the a fight
it's a symbol sometimes a person is in a
place where you could say you
and sometimes i say they
when a person is in front of me i say
you
when it's third person or third people a
third it's called who los anister you
say they they're not here
in a place of revelation you say you in
a place of concealment you say they
khushan is a place of revelation it's on
the heart
it's the front of the person
when i'm looking at the punim of the
person i see it aphid represents a more
a deeper place of concealment so over
there it says
so in the jewish people themselves you
have different levels you have the way
the jewish people are in the state of
aphid you have the way the jewish people
are in the state of khushan
and that's why in aphoid you don't have
a special rack for every stripe in
khaishan you have a special rock for
every tribe
because in life there's a time when you
really grow into yourself
when you really grow into yourself at
every shape it knows exactly who it is
and what it is you have your full
identity it's fully integrated in
aphrodite i'm still struggling i don't
know exactly who i am so there's a lot
of
there's a challenge as they say
there's a unity but the unity doesn't
come
from individuation yet and the khushan
so to speak every every soul
fully embraces its light when there's
real you could see certain people
there's a halo of peace and light that
encompasses them because you so to speak
grow into yourself and it comes through
a person's challenges through their
abolition
and the effort is not there yet but they
still have avne shayam which is the rack
of
josefatzadek yosef atadek had that
unique ability the lofty soul who can go
into the lowest places
and not only was he not derailed but he
transformed it that the other brothers
could not the other brothers were more
segregated joseph had a sinus pasture
which was a multi-colorful tunic
a prerequisite to the big decohana
to be able to combine all of it
in the jewish among the jewish people
themselves you have different types of
jews you have kaisen jews
you have a for jews you have jews who
apparently are in a very high state and
you have sometimes jews unfortunately
who spiritually are in a lower less
sublime state comes the torah and says
never ever separate
jews from afro-jews
don't separate yourself don't separate
them
it's one body it's one organism it's one
nation i need you
essentially just like you need me
essentially the greatest error of
reality is when we separate the from the
a foot when the two become
completely separate sometimes it's easy
it's easy just to separate we don't this
we disagree we can't communicate let me
amputate you for my life sometimes
families do it there's too much stress
there's too much agony every single is
another fight and another argument this
one has this
you have situations where sometimes a
father will not speak to a daughter to a
granddaughter
siblings not but why because they have
disagreements maybe the disagreements
are serious disagreements
a person says i'm in a high state you're
in a low state we disagree let's just
cut off the relationships we don't have
fish comes the toyota and it says
even if it's true that you're up there
and he's down there i'm not sure it's
true but let's say it's true
that you represent the peak of holiness
and this person represents
the abyss of darkness
because when i separate from you
when i separate from a family member
when i separate from somebody else when
i separate from another jew when i
detach i'm not just detaching from you
i'm also detaching from me
at some point
sorry so in life the toyota gives here a
blueprint
that hashem tells me
in every aspect of your internal life
individually and connect
collectively the haitian and the aphid
ultimately
work not just together but in perfect
perfect
synchronization
