Um, but welcome to relationship flow. We're going to just do a short one cuz Hashem we have a simcha tonight. Sheva brachos and thank Hashem for all the good times and please Hashem already by the here to be celebrating his own Sheva brachos soon. And please God all our fellow Yidden that need simchas should have simchas b'shefa. And l'shana haba'ah. So we're learning about rising before dawn, getting up early in the morning from Rebbe Nachman in Likutei Halachos. And then the whole the concept is by coming to perceptions of godliness. This is really the big point of Shavuos. You know, with one of the minhagim not to sleep at night or to stay up and learn or the most important thing is to come out whatever vote you end up doing is come out with the S D'dibros, come out with the commandments and all the different parts of Yom Tov a greater awareness of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. That's that's that's the topic. That's what we can see this because of in Chassidus it's bringing us. It's one one of the focuses we always have when we're learning together and I'm sure it's a bit b'shem because they're nice people. Kol Boiker and all this this tikkun of malchus, this building of a person's intellect through the lower wisdom happens every morning. Every morning we have to work on this. Ayla b'shachris Ayla Ayla b'shachris. And he's mentioned this before that the time of shachris the Shechinah in her identity as Ayla b'shachris ascends. So he explains underneath in the parish when the first rays of dawn burst forth out of the darkness they resemble the antlers of an Ayla, a deer, mountain deer. It says that that's the light of shachris is called Ayla b'shachris. In the Kabbalistic lashon it's Ayla b'shachris is an appellation for the Shechinah. We talked about this from the Zohar. His rectification and return to holiness comes with the morning's dawn. So there's a tremendous tikkun that goes on every morning with the Shechinah. Remember the whole concept relationship flow is we're trying to bring soulmates together, bring neshamos and the whole real p'nimius and the point is to attach ourselves to the Shekinah. That's the real nikuda panimous of shalom bayis. That have the Shekinah showing in your house. And we even say it in um in Simcha B'Mano Mano in Sheva Brachas when we do Birkas Hamazon, we say that the the the simcha should dwell in this place. Simcha and Shekinah go together. So, having the right hashkafa, the right mindset in the morning is a big segulah for for the Shekinah because you're you're you're awakened your lower wisdom and put yourself to a elevated level. Shehu biginas aliyas doesn't say Rav Nosson. Amar Hashachar, this is indicated by the ascension of the first rays of shachar. So, Hashem delights when the Shekinah and with all those who spiritually devote themselves at night and see her ascend. She biginas malchus chochma tatata. This is symbolic of the lower level of chochma malchus, the lower level wisdom. She nikwa shachar, im b'samsem harosh. Itself is called shachar because it constricts vision. Just as the shachar, blackness of the eye constricts the large objects appear in the pupil, she cause sagas adakus ayeda. All perceptions of godliness come about only through So, you have to have looked into the black part of your eye and seen how it opens and closes like a camera lens. So, one of the things that helped me find my soulmate was I looked into the eyes of my soulmate on shidduchim and I knew she was the one. Cuz the eyes are the windows to the soul. All the other aspects, the most important way of connecting, bonding is the eyes. That's the shachar, the blackness of the eyes. It constricts the large object appear in the pupil, she cause sagas adakus ayeda. All perceptions of godliness come about through Al kein shiflus gab mod mod b'boker hashkim k'dei la'asok. Why'd you get up so early? So you can asok, we can learn and and not do bitul avodah. The rising in the morning for daybreak to study Torah and to serve Hashem, if you do it Hashem, right now? So, Get up early for Simcha because they got to be out of the beginning of the Shacharit now. So that he will magnify and elevate awaken the aspect of Shacharit in its aspect as low wisdom. This is alluded to the verse, "Awake my soul, awaken the Shacharit." So that one will wake up from sleep for the low wisdom from his Torah study. The merit of perception of of Elokus, of godliness, to gain awareness of Hashem. Is for this that we were created. It's very important. Came to this world, you're here. There's nothing you can do, Hashem forced you. And this the This is the concept of the Tzaddikim. This special must person must attain this awareness that this is the alone reason that we came into the world. Just to be makir our borei. To to to come more to to have more awareness of Hashem. Yeah, he says The merit of perception of godliness, to gain gain awareness of Hashem. Awake my soul, awake the heart. And I will awaken the Shacharit. That's the the hidden. So it's something like like a niggun, like, you know, the Shomrei Shabbos say, "You know, if it's a good night, yeah, if you go somewhere, I'm going out Shabbas because you go out to a good night, is how you wake up in the morning." Yeah, but you have to wake up in the morning. The wake up in the morning, that's the raya that the night before was good. Hashkamas Boker begins at night. And that's what the Shomrei Shabbos Shomrei Shabbos say. And my Rebbe always used to say, "Krias Shema is the raya." The Krias Shema in the evening, Krias Shema in the morning, so you don't let the night take away your avoda of the morning, of waking up, of recognizing the yichud of Hashem. >> [snorts] >> Again, this maduin lay. And all the supernal worlds were created only for this, in order that they should know him, to know Hashem. As he says underneath, he says the Zohar there's only Hashem, and yet he is called by different holy names, Kel, Elokim. So you might know him in each and every characteristic, how he directs the world through chesed, din, I mean kindness, judgment, according with a person's actions. So we're just to summarize and give chizuk to ourselves, a person must have strength to rise early in the morning by Hashem. We should be zocheh to And by the way, by saying the passuk that we mentioned before from Tehillim, also it's a segulah to have in mind when you say that passuk, the time you want to wake up. I heard that from a Chabad shliach. And then, you know, Chabad and mommies mostly for shlichus. Um a person must have great strength to rise early one foot daybreak to study Torah and serve Hashem. This is the concept of waking the dawn, the aspect of lower wisdom, through which from merits perceptions of godliness, attaining this awareness of Hashem is the reason man, woman, everything in the universe was created, just to come to more of kesher to Hashem. I once had the tzaddik whose name was Avraham Mordechai Isbi. He was the biggest fire by my wedding. Told the story about him the other day. Um we were I was learning with them in the Zohar. On Lag BaOmer, we were trying to And actually someone just sent an email about that story, Lag BaOmer time. Uh there's I'm on an email list of somebody writes divrei Torah, and he remembers that story also from Or Sameach. He was standing by the fire. Someone had put it out because they lit it early. And once they poured water on it, it was not relighting. And everyone was trying all different things, nothing was working. Comes out with Isbi, Reb Mordechai Isbi, he comes out from the Beis Medrash for a second, looks at the the the pile of wood or whatever it was. It [snorts] burns on fire after he looks at it. Everyone saw, I saw it with my own eyes. It went on fire. And then he went back into Beis Medrash to continue learning. And then we could like, you know, dance around, sing Bi Hu Chaim, everything. But he he once said to me, I asked him before I left Or Sameach, I said to him, and everyone should help Or Sameach with being a the right now. By Hashem, we will do real kindness to everybody, but the idea that he said to me the last thing that he said to me as I left the base medrish, the most important thing in the Jewish guy is a kasha tasha. To build a kasha. As a cohen, >> [snorts] >> he was a cohen also and myself, we have to build our kasha tasha. It's like you got the feeling on the kasha on the back of your head. This is the connection of das, connecting yourself with finish of rush. Connecting your mind and your heart. Finish of yarn. All the way the straps brings down all the way into your body. To bring everything to Hashem. The kasha yourself to Hashem. That's something to take out of Shavuos, something to develop a deeper concepts of Hashem by getting up early, by serving Hashem in that time and the shchina al ha shachar. Bezras Hashem bizoche by bringing that deep awareness to Hashem and we'll have much deeper awareness of the somay. Bezras Hashem bizoche to share the kind of awareness on that. Amen. Amen.
