so we're on page uh in the mimer in the
essay contest
we are
on page
83 thank you
so the rebbe has explained to us
taught us
the various
ways of looking at maidani based on
shattered
site
and this mimer here right now he's going
to teach us how we look at it from a
perspective of
of um and qasid
right you remember that
yeshida
citizens
of the four levels of shah rabbis
university
in maidani
zebras are all connected one with the
other
[Applause]
is the recognition that man comes to
that the
novelty
the kiddush
of ex nilo that something the world
which is something created from god
being nothing
is not just from uh
a manifestation of god
rather from the from the highest
level of hashem
known as
oxibolus
essence
of the infinite light of god which
transcends all worlds
the explanation that we brought earlier
of the kabbalistic concept of maidani
m
[Applause]
everything
from the most celestial loftiest levels
of
of world and of of godliness are all
created
from nothing and not
absolute nothing or not and being
recreated i don't care how holy they are
if not for hashem
recreating them every moment there would
be zero
habear next let's continue
page 85.
now the explanation brought
regarding
the that we the the the maidani with the
remnants within the hint
level of terror
if you would say that the world will be
created through malcolm's kingship
the last vira itself
mccabe is
tapes and welcome
since the world the energy that creates
the worlds means the worlds have some
kind of
recognition and importance
of then there would be
there wouldn't be a
a a com a complete
what we're getting at over here that was
getting at is
that when you say
something is new
it means that it's literally new and and
without any without the force that's
making it new it wouldn't it wouldn't be
it wouldn't exist
so he says should
the fact that the soul
enlivens the body
should go
higher
yes
does the does the body exist as a body
without the
the vitality of the soul yes
the vitality of the soul
enlivens the body but the body is
emitting
as an existence
so here we're saying that it's not that
way that it's even more or less of an
existence
it's it's it's it it wouldn't even exist
at all if not for the energy of god
recreating it from moment to moment
alba mccable
but being that we are we're on the
trajectory that where does creation come
from get get used to these words may
asmus or insof
not just for the infinite light from the
essence of the infinite light which
means look look further stop of 87.
again he repeats where worlds
and the all these great levels have no
value whatsoever
renews itself of the infinite light of
god over mela therefore
so the person
the partition the the petitioner
comes to the recognition
that in what manner is the actus is the
unity of god with the world that god
creates be even in a manner
so we sing the song we say the words
encapsulates an entire
mindset
now listen for some of
[Music]
us we don't have
blockages in this area
and by for some of us
it's a simple fact either
and i have no questions and i see god in
everything
the truth is
when you start poking
and
something doesn't go exactly the way we
want it to go
um i'm not sure if at that time the
person feels annoyed
but if one does
that's a real that's that's a that
somebody has really
come to a place of elite movadry
yes hilo
i just i had a friend who was facing a
very very difficult situation in court
once he said i wrote another melvado on
my hand so i could look down at it at
the court yeah yeah
but
it's so it's it's easily said
the question is do you are you really
living with ayleid movado
and this is the whole idea of shahrukh
token in the flavor cellar brothers
and the altar evan tanya and then
together such a true
you know
that that famous story of mizell's in
the
in poland in the 1600s 1700s he was a
very he was a great rabbi but he was a
psychiatrist he was also a businessman
very successful
and a student comes from the basement
says rebbe the bar says in broca's here
that you have to make a break on on
things that are good a table
so
the student says remy if i told you
that uh your logs that went down the
river he was in the lumber business
were were floated there were
great winds and storms came and they
blew them all away and you lost a
fortune you're fortunate
would you also say
that god is good
so he said for sure
well rebbe let me tell you that's what
happened to your things
and he collapsed on the spot
[Music]
ain't novada
a rabbit a rebbe a reshiva rabbi a rogue
but till it hits home
then you you really
you collapse
you lost your fortune
so what i'm saying is when we learn here
sid this over and over this concept
and we're learning here how that ever
says
that one second motion that ever says
only if your perspective is from
saying
will you then recognize and it will
resonate with that you understand
with that story
that to live with yeshida is not knowing
another page of gomorrah or another my
mercy this it's not yeshida
it's important to know
more and it's important to know my mercy
this is important to give sadaka it
doesn't yet mean you're in a bovada yes
my [ __ ]
hey ruby dolphin i think i think we
brought up the story at least once
before this year
if i'm not mistaken correct me if i'm
wrong i think what happened though was
when he was revived he became two
and and then they found out
that actually it did not happen
with the logs i don't i don't remember
that
there's a famous story there's a famous
story that's connected to this that they
told him the news and and what happened
uh
no i i i didn't hear the story that way
i heard the story that
that when they when he was told it
happened to him he fainted anyway it's
it's it's
it's a different story all right
what what what were we trying to say
with you in the
the point of the story is that
you can preach about it that you can
believe it you could teach others about
it when it comes to you it happens to
you
you're faint i where's your belief and
when the world
comes to the table
you understand you're not getting it
you're not yet at the level of it that's
it and it's not a it's not a put down
it's just a reality check
okay let's continue over here
he says
chicago
there is no
there's not nothing else
besides him what does nothing else speak
mean you know it means also
holy worlds not just
kashmir's
the physical and the material
but even holy worlds angels souls
celestial beings
anoint milwaukee
they are not an iota closer to the
godhead to osmos
and since this is so
har
it's felt by the person who lives this
way in the in the most simple way
with his cloud that his physical flesh
his physical life has no existence
it's one thing
connect being connected to god if you
could say god is here
that's it
that's what makes it important
what is covaya this is important what is
covea what sets
the agenda what tells us whether this is
correct if you could say god is here
if you can't say vis-a-vis your feeling
and your your understanding and the
reality that it's only god
then it's loved afghan
loved afghan
it doesn't necessarily mean it's that
way let's continue
as we explained earlier
when you fulfill
a commandment of god it is impossible to
mix
i feel a lot better for even not in an
ancillary way
their existence has to be one-on-one
thing only because of god's will of
canal as we said
earlier
looking to explain
that if you're living yeshida all the
other levels of the mind the heart of
the practical
of the kabbalistic are a contradiction
why because they have a message
they have a description they have a
definition
right you look at someone you come at
the show
you look at someone say oh
he
is a businessman
he is a rabbi
he is a psychologist
he is a father and he is a teacher
without saying it in your mind you know
what you've done
you've basically created a box around
yourself and around him and because
you're in a box you put him into a box
is it true that he's a teacher yes is it
true that he's a rabbi yes is the truth
that absolutely
but that's not
that's not the person
that's what the person
does i'm using this as a a way to
explain what we're about to learn here
when you live yeshida
the the other four levels of of shot
remiss and sight another contradiction
to yeshida
you don't have to remove
those four aspects of understanding and
and and and explanation
and levels
oh what what is going to say now is that
they are all enhanced through yeshida
but abraham not that
they make either less
an
example a person who is respectable a
person who is refined
you can put them you can put him in the
most
terrible situation with low lives and
everything else and he isn't tainted and
he remains the same
it might not smell good it might be very
uncomfortable
i i'm telling the other day flying back
from florida which we had about hashem a
seven hour delay it's pretty good we
didn't have to sleep overnight anyway
so
behind me sitting a woman
and i hear her saying later in the
conversation she had a bach mitzvah and
her mother her mouth was like a toilet
a toilet
and she was
tipsy and and probably you know a little
drunk
and i was embarrassed for myself first
of all the thing she was saying and
there was a guy next to her and another
woman on the right
and you
you would have thought you are in a uh a
brothel or a
you know
it was disgusting
and she don't care
and she's you know she's smart and has
humor and you know she knows how to
handle a crowd
and she's talking out loud and everyone
hears her and no one says a word
i want to my wife didn't let me so i
didn't say anything
well guess what
uh
part of our delay
took us back to the gate which now i
understand why
the excuse was because a few people
wanted to get off one had an elderly
mother said we can't this is ridiculous
we have to get off
so they
went back from the tarmac to right to
the gate
and then i see these three bovans oh big
bouffants
the sheriffs with the guns and the bomb
things over here come on to the plane
and the gentleman comes on a supervisor
and he says to the woman he says
uh the pilot says that he's
uncomfortable flying with you please
take your things and come off
and this big uh mouth
this big mouth
and yiddish we say like a little tata
it's an expression a a little acclaimed
in other words this big monstrous big
mouth and big shot
becomes
what's the word scourge you know becomes
like
a little nothing and shuts her mouth
and takes a little poopy doggy that was
quiet the whole time thank god and she
walks off and she's no dress she's not
drunk anymore you understand
that's how drunk she was
and she says well i hope a guy but i
hope we get this all on video notice if
she walks off the plane
papa and then they got someone else to
back they asked to walk off
the idea of
novada
the idea
means that a person
wherever they are
that
you know
so i was thinking to myself but what but
you know
and it was a gentleman sitting next to
me an older gentleman yeah he was he
didn't say anything and i ended the
delay was driving everyone nuts you
understand hours so
i say to him he says it's part of the
game today flying is delays if you can't
take delays don't fly
and it was you know it's like yeah
you're right you know you're right in
other words
a person
who's a refined person who works on
themselves
regardless of the situation
where you can be put in a situation
where like you're in a toilet excuse the
expression mama she was like i was
sitting next to a toilet
with the schmutz that was coming out and
in a comical way it wasn't you know you
know what i'm saying but it was
come on
it's like you got people around you
i mean i don't want to say it's
disgusting it was it never had such an
experience
and you have to ask yourself why did
hashem put you there
why did hashem put you next to a toilet
that's something i'm still thinking
about what's it says
so why did hashem put me there
and the interesting thing is
when she got up to leave i was told to
leave my wife
said a few words there and she was so
pleasant so nice and you know she said
please excuse me for my language
in other words she saw my yarmulke and
my beard then you know and she she you
know she lives in manhattan she knows
what an orthodox jew is
and i felt that that was a truther
that was a truther
are you gonna ask me what did she do the
next day i don't know but
saying you know
please excuse my language was like a
schtickle truva
but anyway the point of trying to make
is that you have to
maintain
your
commitment wherever you are
my mother will show them you know in the
suburbs go out to the catskills my
father you know for a few weeks whatever
they would
find respite at a hotel a motel in in in
in
in monticello and then sometimes the
winter to florida
and she saw
i don't she saw people she recognized
but she saw the title her neighbors in
bar but she saw
the neighbors you saw people from
borough park women
and she saw the way they were dressed
and she and and she'd say like
you know
just because it's not boro park you
don't have to dress a certain way and
she wasn't at saudis but she to begin
with you know she grew up in costa rica
didn't have a jewish education
you know what i'm saying
and that ever told her to put on a
shaytan and the debbie gave the women
paid for the women that have beautiful
shaytards she put on a shaytar and she
she and she became a barbecue woman
but her background although she was a
survivor and came from poland okay but
you know she wasn't educated that way
so here she comes she lives in the
community and then she sees all these
all these people
i
you don't you don't drop your standard
if you're really there
okay you know no no one's not saying you
can't go to the beach and it sneers away
you could
so
what we take away from this is this
nakuda that we're learning here about
yeshida
doesn't contradict the four levels
yeshide incorporates them and elevates
them let's look into the text now
it's the essence of all the specific
levels
skip this parenthesis please skip the
parentheses so where does this
parentheses end over here in the middle
in middle like three four lines later
therefore
very important
to unite the details with the essence
maisha when you when you draw you
drawing details
somehow all of those details have to
describe
the essence of what you want to
communicate
so you we need details we need a
mountain and we need a sun and we need
this and we need that
but if you lose track and you get caught
up in the protein
and the protein are bereft of exp of
denoting the message
of the xm in this case what you want to
show in this piece of art it's not going
to be a good piece of art
a good piece of art is that the protein
the details
describe the essence
and the same is true here in our context
let's continue
itself was united with your
actually
hotel becomes one
like we said
the king
life
and eternity
over melee
[Applause]
with the name
laws
right there are laws why you shouldn't
do this why you should do this
the main thing is not the reason but the
will of god that transcends reason
the indiana
the same idea we find in creation which
is
[Applause]
when god created the world
and finally being here
when it comes to shock
feeling
when a person gives thanks that he's
alive
tomorrow
we will continue as we continue this
next site
fantastic story
i love this story
it's a good night
it's a good message
if there's many you know i don't
like why does god put you there
how do you how do you control yourself
what do you say what don't you say i was
embarrassed because you know people see
a
uh today you know in miami the flowering
of new york everyone knows what this
represents a yarmouk and a full beard
everyone knows my wife you know they
might not think she's jewish even though
probably that he can't get away with but
me it's what i call conspicuous judaism
you can't right so so and here i am and
i'm cringing i'm like to myself
this is one of our people this is a yid
now she didn't listen she didn't look i
mean she actually was dressed with you
know sneeze relatively speaking but
nevertheless you know
anyone that has any sense of what's
going on can smell and taste that this
is a jewish girl a jewish woman no she
was in the 60s probably 60s yeah
and uh so so for myself i was very
embarrassed
here's you know all there's going all
around non-jews and they're quiet and
decent and mentally
with the six seven hour delay and all
that
and one of ours is acting out like this
is vulgar and it has a
mouth of a toilet
so
you know
the amos that puts you it's really this
is the first time that i've been flying
you know all my life and a lot
and this is the first time that i was
encountered with you know with such a
thing you know you know what i'm saying
and and i said to my wife thank god none
of my kids when they were young had to
see such a thing and here's such thing
because it's very very
it's it's embarrassing it's challenging
it's
but at the same time
let's bring it home and ask ourselves
the same type of question
i i i don't want you know there's no
time for it but
i once was an airport another airport
story and i saw the barbecue okay
and he was holding the hand of his wife
as they were going through he didn't see
me i saw them and they both came from
chabad of 150 years ago they had the
pedigree and i wanted to like collapse
and drop that go under the under the
floor and go into the earth
i have no problem with two modern
orthodox people holding hands they
believe that's that's that's fine even
in public no problem
but you are a leba chair you're a
hussain
you know what you come from and you know
we don't we don't do that what are you
doing
i just and look look this is now about
30 years ago it still sticks in this
mind
because it made and i was very far but i
just have to turn my head i noticed
[Music]
there is there is a way so you have to
ask yourself one end to what it's it
should i go up to them and embarrass
them
i have to have it independent sometimes
you drive around and you see
not sneers
very bad not sneers
and i and i want to get out in the car
or to scream for the window
what are you doing
this is a fruit community what are you
doing you want to dress this way go to a
beach or another community
but at the same time is that going to
help is that going to change the
situation
you have to work from within
and privately you go over to a person
and you sit down and you say look i am
and you talk to them
and then when they feel you're you know
you have a statistical relationship
that you could talk to about issues that
are
you know should be improved
and that in your private life you know
if you want to
lead a life a certain way you have free
will
yeah free will be in public too but
nevertheless remember they're all of us
and in public you you're making a a
statement
to everyone else
so in public halacha and torres says yes
you have to behave a certain way and you
have to dress a certain way
that's public the domain of public
private there's another domain now what
we learned today is that yehida impacts
all four meaning
that even in your
nephew
which is your mind your heart your
practical
and and your will
should be permeated with yakida
okay that's that's why we're learning
that that's why we need to think about
how and what can i do
so that when i'm in an arena
which is not my arena
whoever i am and what i represent should
impact
and to me just to conclude when she said
to my wife
i'm sorry for you know for the use of my
language that's what i mean
that's that
at the end she she recognizes hey i have
an or i have orthodox jews husband and
wife in front of me
and i shouldn't be speaking this way in
front of them at least that
yes
motion so on that note and especially
what you just said i'm curious
did anybody in the plane ride around an
immediate area did they hear her say
that to your wife
um i think
the the man that was next sitting next
to her and and the the woman on
on the isle
and
yeah
they probably heard
in other words it was already with the
three the police there and the
supervisor it was intense and you know
the energy was focused elsewhere and
this is when she when she kind of got up
from her seat and she saw him
after my wife said a few words to her so
the answer is yes a few people heard it
but it wasn't with that same you know
uh starkite you know like the way she
was uh mouthing off and using her her
you know speaking like a toilet you know
what i'm saying it wasn't the same way
what my point
my point is the reason i'm asking
is because that's a fascinating
interchange then in other words
she spoke that way she had that reaction
the moment that she saw you
and if other people heard that
that could be a real kid of hashem in
the sense that people see oh
this is how she was behaving the whole
time
right
and then she gets up to leave and then
she turns around
and the moment she sees you all of a
sudden she's like
that's like that's a reality check for
her
and yeah that that
that could be a tremendous kadish hashem
you're right you're right
you're right you're right you're right
that's
i i wish you wouldn't i wish it would
have came earlier in the flight you see
i
wanted it during the
flight to to say a few words to her but
my wife said i shouldn't so i listened
to them good husband
no i i i didn't want to say something
you know rude and outrageous i just
wanted to say you know they're they're
other and that's what really got her
kicked off
she wasn't you know she didn't hurt
anybody
i mean but but you know
then all of a sudden she says you know
she was a little drunk so a little i
don't think she says something about a
terrorist about this or that so you know
and and the stewardess make themselves
they smile and they like laugh but
meanwhile someone snitched to the pilot
and this is a lesson for us guys
and for others
you got to be very careful what you say
loud in planes today because people here
all you need is one guy in the back to
hear you get on the phone and
communicate it over and and it gets to
the pilot or to the head stewardess and
you're off the plane yeah that that that
happened to my wife that happened to my
wife she was on a plane a united flight
leaving from leaving from uh here from
eritrea she's on the plane with some of
our children
this was back like two years ago two and
a half years ago and uh some kid behind
her is like speaking loudly and he's you
know he's like a
like a
like an older teenager slash around 19
or so
and he's like some kid who's visiting
here but he's looks like he's quite like
maybe he's like
like a religious you know like keep on
so forth maybe baseball cap i'm not sure
he starts he's saying he's saying things
and he says something about he makes a
joke about like doing something that's
going to bring the plane down
and
within they went out they were taxing
out and then they had that they made an
announcement to call it an announcement
they have to go back for something
and they go back to the to the gate
and then the security you know security
comes in the exact same thing his
security comes down
and they take him and then the
stewardess the stewardess says to him
those
oh i think a stewardess was passing by
when he said that comment she turned she
stopped she looked and she said that's
not funny
and that's how it that's how it started
and when when they cleaned the kit off
he was like white
he was like white he was obviously
embarrassed he but yeah i mean you you
can't people can't say that
you know those things
that that's that
the overall message my [ __ ] is that you
know there's
there's a place to talk loud the place
not
it's it's a people around you okay
zygozote take care
