Okay. So, bam, we are not learning this week in shid. I was there but um we had a zim for but not for the minion. Um so we are now this this uh situation learning in my holy home even have my is my soulmate right nearby and we're learning and my holy brother Zach is on the phone. So we we've got uh kavir so we're keeping it going and it says here we've been talking about it it was it was quite intense if you remember last week and was very in tune with this para actually parasak of us I mean bo as well because it talks about in because we're learning talks about bo like the whole last week's para so it's also appropriate is going into the kal panoi going to this place where there exists uh seemingly space. It's not obviously a real mus, but it it feels that way to us human beings that we're in a a mock where the cav the the light of Hashem is not shining in its full full brightness and therefore we're not fully aligned and especially when you're coming in front of someone like parro his essence is to do with you know kafira to be against hashem that was that's what he was you know pra parro is lash pra evil mouth He wasn't you know orf someone who's orf is turning his back to Hashem. So Oref is the neck. So he he was someone the back of the neck. So he was someone who was going against Hashem in his whole essence. And that's why the whole par we learned last week is needed to be sorted out. It's a lot to do once again when you're learning to you're talking about the heart level bas and now we're learning in the in the in the flow of this gaba that we got to wake up every morning like a lion. So we said last week we go to Misgaba on the eight Sahara we got to be real and thank God I don't know if you heard him speak at all but um we just had a preslover in the shore a special family the house of La Keman spoke very much from the heart and it was very real very much what you know is needed right now for this generation and uh we continued that last night the Fbran I was just going over in my mind all the different parts of the discussions we had last night with So if you ever want to come on a Sunday night, next two weeks I might not be around but this I think it still will go on in some way but Gdalia will actually be here in two weeks from now from Sunday night. Um so we're going to have the opportunity to connect to the cal and to reconnect and line ourselves more and more the more we learn the more we are real with ourselves and especially on the heart level which is where the most work needs to be done. So that's why brezovv is called basel. It's all about fixing up the basari which is osius rashbi which is also the osus of bes gile which is the enklas in this week's part where it says byram the uncle says bes gile which is osius rashbi or basari they have to work on that heart of flesh to bring more panemius to bring to reveal more the inner truths of who we are. So he says here in for one must serve Hashem with both his inclinations. So this is a very famous Torah like brought down with the idea of the of that we have two hearts. Yeah. That two bases in the word we say in it says it's double base because the idea is that there's two as the Tanya brings down two sides of the heart. The right side and the left side the eight. So we have to serve Hashem with both inclinations. In truth, if a person would know that his whole heart with his whole heart, that the whole world is filled with Hashem's glory, then the pathway of his internet would never be blocked and he would not succumb to heresy, which is what we're saying. That's the nyin of of uh of parro. And we see we read this puk in Yeshua every year on paraso which is next week's para and it says the whole world is filled with his glory that's a famous puk and it's we the reason why da next week is such a high ha tora because it's kabalasra on the ka the kabalasra the ka of of the of the actual lamisman is going to be in shabu but that's the the prophecy of the prophet of the mo and the revelation of the malim with four wings by it's six wings and it's the pipet we say is the whole world is filled with his glory the certain schllay certain gill a revelation that happens in a higher way these partial of shim which is where we're at now and we're already now in the second half of shim because we already had vie b now we're already by bishak and next week is going to be so we're already in this realm of clarification of more and more deeper and deeper after the 10 makkas have been done in mit and then all the miracles Hashem did by the Yamsu. By the time we get to Kabad Torah next week, we're already now in a state where we're ready to receive the ten commandments there and we're able to receive and it goes the most important part once again is it goes on our heart. We should there's two lucas two sides of the heart like there's two lucas of the esadbras the ten commandments and we're meant to internalize what sodic talks about those two lukas into our heart and that's we're meant to make a place for hashem in our heart so then there is no there's no space or any alternative way of of of understanding hashem's oneness there's only hashem there that's the true reality and the stronger that we have this with our whole heart says no then we understand that the whole world is filled with his glory then we won't have any of this heresy. So that's why Rab Mosh Wilson a long many years back said once I heard him say this that if you learn cabala you learn pine like Rabbi Nson you learn you learn the you learn the zoa you learn Tanya you all the swarim that we learn if you learn the or at least they quote them then then you get the opportunity to have aut responsibility because it gives you such an intense revelation of hashem's oneness and truth of reality that you you feel responsible to that and therefore you won't end up falling into um heretical thoughts or god forbid serving other things. So it says here the extent of his awareness of hem's eminence is reflected in one's conduct during prayer. If one knew and internalized that he stands over him when he ds and listens to every single word of his prayer. He would surely pray with great fervor and be extremely meticulous about concentrating on his words. Shalom shalom he says but in the general person does not know this whole heart with his whole heart. Yeah we're not knowing it. This is the problem. We're not in this state of awareness where we see how Hashem is completely interested in our feelers in the full sense and he feels everything and everything's coming through Hashem and we'll be so careful to dine every word of kavana but since most of us in general does not know this wholeheartedly on account of this he's neither all that inspired nor all that meticulous yeah like if um I don't know what what would you say to you What what gets you excited? What gets you focused and in your zone? Everyone has their things, you know, like uh where you zone in and you're fully uh fully in that experience. So that's that's the kind of level. I mean, that's really true life, honestly. But that's the kind of level that we should aim for in yiddishka in in serving Hashem dvening and and just in just everyday life of understanding how Hashem fills the world and we're in such a but the sadikim are realistic that we're generally not going to be in that state majority of the time. It's only going to come as special moments gifts from Hashem or after a lot of voda we get to that good moment of zoning in on on really what it's all about. Um and those moments are very precious. So a lot of the time, unfortunately, we're in we're in a space where we are not aligned and we feel we're not on the cav and we feel open to these other ways of thinking that could could take us away from our deep relationship with Hashem and our deep kind of of that's clear and connected and one because a lot of a lot of the Bill Berlin we go through interil confusion is because we're not clear on who we're dubbing to and his ability to do everything for us. If we would have that clear, you know, you have to know who you're standing in front of. Yeah. Yeah. You have to know as it says in many shs, old school shaws I have on the uh on Aaron Kodish, know who you're standing in front of. If you really have that knowledge clear so then it's a whole another level and das is really the point to have das. So it's internalized. It's deep and it goes all the way into your heart. Not just into your mind, not just intellectually, but you're actually experiencing it. and all of this issues from the concealment of knowledge of Hashem's imminence from the concept of yeah is a interesting word yeah hasn't it the word and mace yeah the idea of the of death and portioning off dividing up things so here he says you're you're dividing up your heart is which refers to dispute in a person's heart caused by the ascending power. His heart is isalak means divided. So hash hash. So the idea that we have a kalak a division. We have two hearts rather than one united heart. And this is an issue. Um I'm just going to see if there's any interesting notes underneath. uh the idea of having mock dutas we we've been talking about this and the last time we were learning the mo the godlas is not just a concept of greater consciousness but it's a level where it actually impacts your heart that's the okay we just I think we lost the call for a second let's find back we're good hello yeah no it's all good so um we were just saying about the consciousness concept of being able to really have a large consciousness will will impact not just your mind but your heart. This is this is what we're trying to get to. The prophet Hashem when we mention him now about being dividing up the heart speaks of the idol worshiing Jews who hearts were divided against Hashem. I mean Ahmed teaches that his division stems from conflict within the heart. So this is something we have to like really become more dispute between one's good inclination and his evil counterpart. When a person's heart is divided between devotion to Hashem and yearning to his evil incarnation, his inner indicates an absence of this deep spiritual knowledge. Das thus an inability to answer the personal heresies that plague his heart and distancing from Hashem. So look, there's nothing more important than this kind of Torah because in our generation, the evil, the the other side is making us all a bit nuts with all this false information or overload of information. and access to information and is not helping us with our amuna. This is what was so interesting with this house of la guy kakman is that he was very simple in his amuna in his journey to hashem and that's something very pure very clear like when everyone asked him about Israel the status quo political stuff he just said he he he's like as as one of the guys said I think Ari said he's in a state of bit like he's not he's not tuning into that he's not giving it air time he's like I listened to a shir today that a lot of the stuff that we're tuning into. We don't actually have to tune into. We don't have to watch people's statuses who are showing off or Instagram or any of that stuff. We don't have to go into that realm. Like when I go on it, I really just want to post and ghost. Like I I just want to get it out there and really not look unless it's someone one of my people I work with. I don't really want to know anyone else what they're up to because it's usually creates a billboard confusion in me. I don't know if you get that but it does that to me and I don't see any point in therefore you know spending time on those those statuses and all this stuff. I mean if people are looking at my status I try and make sure that if they are giving time to it that it should be Torah content or inspirational uh no politics always trying to bring people to a good headsp space you know I I take responsibility as I said I try to be responsible the kind of energy I bring to the world um I mean I need to work on it more with you know today with we didn't have a minion so I was a little bit you know it was painful I felt in pain that we people didn't come And when by the time one or two came it was already too late and we lost the minion and it was hard to be bim and that you know I the one guy said though we did our stadas and we tried to make you know we did the right thing and it's not it's not our responsibility and he's true what he's saying but it was my responsibility to feel a little bit of the pain and not to express it so much maybe to anyone else but then to be able to express it in a in a clear way to people that we do need to mhazik the minion because we need to have a minion. It's important when teny didn't get together we the power is so big last night for where we're just you know making and talking amongst friends we had a million at one point and you felt the you felt the energy level go up once there was 10 men and so it's a powerful thing we should always try to d to be z to a minion and to be to make the efforts to be a minion it's a big thing so I just want to quote something a little bit before we carry on rab from gdalia just to get some he says this concept called sneaky blessing I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's a guide there of blessings in disguise. So, it's on page 273 in his new safer surrender, which he will be book signing at all his events. And yeah, he'll be giving, you know, giving out or signing or selling. So, it says here with Pomerance and everyone else, due to the limitations of your reality, some of your best friends can only enter incognito. In fact, the real big ones sneak through disguise as ugly monsters and vicious enemies. Otherwise, the gods of the game would never let them in. There are the event events optimist called blessings in disguise. So we all understand not good things coming in disguise. But there's the other way around. There's there's the optimist understands that there's things coming, blessings in disguise. There they there these events expand your mind that we're learning now. Expanding your mind, getting a higher consciousness in your heart and your soul, expand your world, fire the gods, and perhaps these blessings won't need such a bizar bizarre entrance anymore. So that's from above rabbit bring down bringing heaven down to earth which is actually when I was by my before I married my wife and my was by my my brother-in-law to be's house that was the first book he ever gave me other than see I looked at the bringing heaven down to earth and that was a very powerful book that I read in my family to be's home um a seed for growth not every blessing enters your life with a smile some arrive wrapped in confusion pain or delay but that doesn't mean they aren't gifts yeah I was I've been trying to get something done with Shalom Lema for months. Yeah. Um maybe I don't even remember how long it's been. It's like a whole big story of bookings. It's it has grown into a larger story. So that's that's already part of the blessing. There's a there's a doubled up the booking. But I I was talking to him. He was on the plane today. He obviously has WhatsApp up on the plane. And he was flying to New York. So he was a little bit nervous, you know, with the conditions that he's flying into. But I was talking to him and I I was saying like, "Are we going to get this done?" And he's like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. He he totally wants to sort it out as Hashem will." But it's all going to happen exactly in the right time. Have a good night. It's all going to happen exactly in a good time. And it's just about patience. It really is. And not to allow when things get delayed to like to, you know, to get angry or to lose, you know, focus. You know, I was at the end I was just wishing him a safe trip cuz I know like he's flying into to like a snowstorm or whatever is going on over there right now. Um, when you expand your heart and trust that even the struggle might carry light, you begin to see what was hidden all along. The moment you stop guarding the door, healing and miracles walk through. The blessings shake you often become uh the blessings that shape you. Here, that's a good line from Gadal. He's very clever with words. He says, "The blessings that shake you often become the blessings that shape you." So, you turn the K into a P. So, blessings that shake you become shape you. It's all about growth. It's all about development. And uh you know, this one of the things I'm excited to see him. I had a chat with him yesterday on the way to the FBI and uh you know he he's a positive like he has a lot on and there's a lot of people reaching out and he says he wants to do Israel so he wants to do as much as he can but when I asked him I said so lisa you have more time to like do another podcast or whatever because people are asking he said no he really doesn't but he if he could he would and and he is already maximizing his time because he knows that's he said that's what I'm in the world for like I'm coming to Israel to maximize my time and not just you know sit by a beach or by a pool if that's the time of year but you know what I mean he's not on holiday he's busy so uh this this kind of a voter and the second point with him was also that he's he's very much one he's trusting in the people that he's chosen to help him like for example myself so he's he's given me pretty much free reign to run the event to get them all hopefully uh successful we just had some new videos put out to promote the Jerusalem one we still need to sell like almost half more tickets so there is what to be done but here's his headsp space is I always sell out last minute so he's not worried about it. So uh if he's not worried then you know that rubs off for me so I'm not worried. So that's why it's good when you have someone you're working with who's leading the story has a good headsp space it rubs off on you and that's what we need to work on ourselves as fathers and husbands and my wife just left now so I can say this honestly that you know I'm going through a little bit of a struggle financially I'll be straight but not because I'm doing overspending or anything like that. Thank God I don't have any debts or anything. I'm in a very blessed place in that respect, but I'm not bringing that, you know, when you you have on your bank statements, it shows you how much coming in, how much is going out. So much more is going out than is coming in right now. Way more. And it's just because the booking slowed down or whatever, you know, the world's going through its chaos or I I can't exactly explain it. Um it seems a bit beyond the the natural flow of things because I usually always have stuff going on and I still I have the Gdalia event coming up but that's you know the that's more of a nonprofit helping Israel admits for like having a house of le it wasn't even a money thing. So it's these kind of things is trying to just tune in to the place where Hashem's going to sneak in the blessing and bring the braha and to to to to be patient and all these these advice these real things are are of so real that if you could just live this way and and lead with that joy and that amuna that it's going to work out you know that's the right way of being not that I'm always there but you try and you learn about it by learning about it gives you the strength a little bit more to make that choice to lead with amuna to lead with joy to leave with an awareness that Hashem is filling up the whole of creation and is going to bless you, give you what you need in the right time and place. So it goes on and we'll do another few more minutes in this relates to the question that arise because the pathways of the intellect have become blocked. You hear that? It's so beautiful. He says the problem is it divides his heart to the point he does not know how to respond to the heresy in his own heart. See that's why it's so much when we learned that whole last week thing about answering up the apicauss. The real real issue is the apicosis within each of us the heart level inside of us. He's bringing it inward into our own hearts. Not to you know you have to go now debate some famous atheist or whatever. You have to work on the heart level yourself. Yeah. He says that the remedy this heart is by studying the rulings of the Jewish law and that site the dispute between the various legal authorities and come to a clear conclusion. Seven he says down here the division of person's hearts rooted disputes of holiness namely disputes of tan and according gar and certainty how hashem wants the disputed law fulfills leaves one's evenation away to undermine and not only dispute the holiness but even the foundation that's why one saddic once said and I I'll quote this is something people need to hear majority of the Torah is not not divided but kalak is smooth is p the idea of the is to lay it out clear and it's p is the phat is poset it's clear majority of if you would take shorak and go through it in a in a more like kit way like the kit itself you would realize the majority of tora mitz is clear that you know what you have to do when you wake up you know you need to do you know you need to now say you know each thing clean your body you need to there's so much to do that's clear it's only very small moment moments that are mock lockers that you have to now go learn a sug. So what we do we get all caught up with the disputes but the real thing is we have to keep ourselves with the clarity with where where yes is clear and be with that. It's a very good advice I think and and a lot of people in Yiddishai would have much more joy if they would just live the shut of Yiddish and just enjoy it more as a simple clear path to serving Hashem rather than over complicating it. By studying disputes of the sages and how these disputes are resolved as rulings of Jewish law, one fosters inner peace. So there obviously is room to go now go delve into the tal and the halak and the postkim and it's a very big mitz a very holy thing to do. And to clarify what you know it brings down a lot of kadoo a lot of rahim a lot of mercy a lot of good to the world but it also for ourselves it gives us a certain is of peace of mind the data he acquires in learning to distinguish between prob and permitted kosh and uncos pure and impure eliminates our clock as it divides and plagues his heart with conflict for a more extensive explanation you can go look up the rabbis Torres talks about this more later on okay viter so then what he says about how to what to answer an epicus he says no he says that that's a famous concept from palas we learned about it number 214 that shalom peace is an is a a kostic of va ma shash apicosis so it hasn't it the vav the mem the shin and lammed and that is the the pavus that is the four letters that spell out the words of viea No ma what to answer you see. So then in the word shalom is already the the clarity the the peace of mind. So is studying the ruling Jewish law through this a person attains both d and inner peace and he will thereby merit to eliminate the questions in his heart. We just finish off now. is that's why we started this and then he merits to pray with his whole heart with both hearts. The two bases become united in serving Hashem. The both serving Hashem both inclinations shall love with your God with all your heart. As I said, this is brings us down as well. And that was a by the way the level of he was the one who was getting up every morning with his on his and he was able to serve. He's connected. I will praise you with an upright Lav when I study your just laws studies the rebings's words there. So apparently it's a hill I praise you with an upright Lav when I study your just laws. See it clarifies it. Torah it heals us. It heals the bilbo the confusion. It gives us peace of mind. Everyone's out there looking for these mental solutions to their personal problems. The Torah there. The Torah is right there for all of us. However, studying the rulings of Jewish law is effective on dealing with questions whose answers the person can readily compend. Whereas those questions for which there are no answers forbidden to explore as rather one must chunk himself with a you see that. So he already gives you a boundary. Don't start getting busy with all these all these complicated over our our ability parts of Torah that we're just going to feel god forbid like giving up or so that's why it's very important you should learn Torah that your heart desires that you understand you get closer to Hashem through it obviously you can a little bit and push yourself but the goal is to keep yourself in a state of stronger that's the of and not to veer off into and rabin not to veer off too much into all these cushers, all these very deep philosophical, you know, the questions that could lead you to, god forbid, to go out of of your mind or out of the realm of of amuna, god forbid. So, we'll just say one more line here. And when a person has complete free of all the questions doubts his eating has to bring about this food is spiritually refiner elevated through. So by the time we learn next week we already had twoishvat. So it's a good way to end on this that we should be z the tree of life should come alive in our in our homes in our hearts and that we'll be able to eat the pis from the trees that we eat them with a and with a and bring between and every time you're saying king of the world or all the different we're bringing down is also gatri pates. So we get to d for our esrog and the srog is connected the heart. Sovat is a big tick of the heart level. The Srog and the heart level is is all connected and we should for a pure beautiful a beautiful heart that's renewed and is focused on MS the Torah and the with that we'll have all the with all the all the we need of thank you for learning and have a beautiful shabashira I'm going to be in Beshm next week we'll Well, Monday night I'm going to be going to Tel Aviv, but if we learn earlier, it shouldn't be a problem that we can still learn. That's a shame because we got Kadalia's event Kadali speaking Tel Aviv Monday night. Yeah. And then Thursday night next week, Thursday night is the shalim and then Sunday is going to be a amazing shalim and a fra. Amazing. Yes. Thank you cult.
