Holy means responsibility when doing Mitzvos - Rebbetzin Chaya Muska - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

we're on page we're on page one um um yeah9 right sorry right page 129 the two dots the last line let's go just as this entire mus of the me who goes into the dirt to pick up the the low person the disgusting person and like this entire vision and image next page top of 130 even much more and twice doubled redoubled lay did to us the Jewish people for God for God's greatness no one can find Peres all worlds encompasses all worlds it's known from the holy the many chambers and worlds Beyond number and within each World in each chamber there are tens and myriads thousands of angels the says one verse says question are there is there a number that you can count for God's groups and another verse says thousand thousands serve me and tens and thousands tens of thousands come before me so it's a contradiction one end you say there's no number to God's Celestial being and angels and worlds and the other one you give a number and answers when it says thousands and thousands is the number of only one group but how many groups does God have there's no number so yes when it says there's a thousand 10,000 and myriads and all that it refers to one group but how many groups hasem has a Mis it's not a contradiction and he continues his thought and all of the celestial beings and angels and all of that before God Almighty in comparison to are as though they are not nothing they're considered and they're actually n nullified in in their actual existence again we're talking about angels and but whatever that that existence is it's completely nullified compare compared to one one utterance that comes from you in comparison to the power of speech within the soul which spoke about if you remember chapter 20 21 if you compare this one utterance that you utter compared to the power of speech that's still in thought before it came to speech know three things one is if you compare one one utterance to the power of speech in the soul two if you compare this one utterance to the power of thought which speech comes from before you think or even deeper if you compare this one speech to the will and the desire of the heart which is in the heart Canal as we learned earlier in chapter 2021 at Great l so just uses this once again to remind us that although there are tens of thousands of angels and everything else and that's only one group and then we don't know how many groups there are because they're endless amount of groups it's all not it's not not and it's similar to the nothingness of one utterance if you compare that utterance to three stages to the power of speech in the soul the power of thought which speech comes from and the power of the desire in of heart when you have a r you have a you have a desire it triggers the mind and the mind triggers the power of speech and then you finally uh say it out so what this one utterance that you say is utterly not compared to the how much more so there is on those three levels so that's what the AL uses the example to explain the nothingness of all of these angels and he continues nevertheless and all of the Angels sh they ask and we say this in the morning prayers where is your place of honor and we answer Angels you know where hashem's place is all over is his presence who are they hashem's presence enclosed itself in the Jewish people for forsake the superal and the lower worlds he didn't choose them at all who did God choose the Jewish people and he took us out of Egypt the filth of the land so this is the moral to the mushro which he says with the person is is lying and is involved in the filth so God took us out from the filth of the land IE Egypt the place of imp purification and spiritual filth and how did he do it the Torah says he didn't send an angel to take us out another type of Angel Etc himself presence in his Essence he descended into Egypt descended to save the Jews because he he want he brought us close to him with a true closeness and unity and and more so binding our soul to him in a way of kissing mouth to mouth as we said earlier and explained what the spiritual concept of kissing is through US uttering the word of God that refers to you see again you asked specifically emphasizes andem attached his Spirit to our spirit who this isn't the concept of kissing this is the concept of understanding God and knowing his will and his wisdom the making us with him one then not only did he kiss us and not only did we understand them he gave us a big hug who how he gave us the ability to perform his Commandments his actual action through the 248 limbs referring to the 248 positive Commandments and then also referring to the 248 limbs of the king speaking and generally speaking God's Embrace of us God's hug his involves the right side on the left side right when you hug someone and you only hug them on the right or you only hug them on the left and you in the middle you haven't fully embraced them right the full Embrace is where you take them from all sides now explains that spiritually what what is right left and middle is Right din is left is Mercy is the middle in the word terminology of The Zo are the two arms and the body right so the body represents the right hand is the left hand is gura and then when you Embrace someone with with your both hands and your body he's being embraced by could you imagine if we had this thought every time we gave someone a hug if we really focused on it that hug would move someone tremendously not just from the physical here's just an example of how the physical hug the physical Embrace is demonstrative of what of what's really going on that you're imbuing the person if you're if you are coming from that perspective with Ander kindness discipline and mercy and that's what you're giving the person yes Hilo didn't we did we say in this place another place in that it's like a like yes we said in in in chapter uh four yeah let's continue this is what we say every time we make a now literally what does it mean blessed are you God that you have holfi us made us holy with your Mitzvah of shaking the lul for example that's the normal meaning D here has another Insight okay it's not a contradiction and he says it doesn't just it doesn't just mean that you're being holy because you're doing what God wants you're separating yourself from the material world when you do the Mitzvah and you're imbuing the interial world with a Godly force and energy that's Way Beyond the physical and how is that being done by making the blessing before before the Mitzvah of of of doing the and and and and and the other Mitzvah look what he says it's similar to a man who who sanctifies a woman K right the word in Hebrew for the process of Bethal which is marriage is what happens is it mean betr yeah Beed but take take off your thing please the idea being when you betro someone you bring her to you and she's not allowed to be with anyone else in other words you have now separated this woman from any other man and that's why and that's why why if other men you know or someone else lives with her and all that it's it's it's heavy stories it's it's a you know it's a big infraction why but she's not because she's become kushin not just holy she's become separated from others she is this man's man woman she's my girl you know but the spiritual concept of she's my girl not the not the physical material grub you know concept she's my girl she's my girl in the sense she is the Holy One she's been put into a into a a plateau that's very different than the rest a she's married she's married to me let's continue inside that's what he says says you should cleave to your wife you should be one flesh what do you means two pieces of Flesh here a man and a woman a male and a female but when you accomplish this idea of kin and that's why so important to have a Sanctified holy Jewish marriage that's you know done by a proper Rabbi in a proper setting with proper Witnesses and all that it's all to express the idea it's a here it's a Unity a flesh to flesh and it's very different than just picking a nice girl or a nice guy it's a different isn't that the whole right isn't that the whole idea of is or that's entirely different no it's not different that's the whole concept yeah continuing so now in the moral the top of page next page Adam for no comparison this is this is what happens is when The Godly soul is involved in study of doing a mitz it it unites with the animal Drive the living Drive the animating drive with garments that's what happens when the when the Jewish Soul when takes takes a pair of Fillin which was made from the height of an animal then there was an animal and the animal was involved in in beating and eating and sleeping and roaming and everything else and you take that animal and you take its hide and you make from his hide a pair of Fillin you've combined the ultimate of godliness eliss with the ultimate of gmas which is the material and that is the and that is The Godly experience so you have the or you have the infinite God as expressed through the combination of King uses the parable Song of Songs he Compares this Union to the unity of a groom and a bride with attachment and desire and and and and willingness through uh hugging and kissing you look at theim you say hey say kingom you you're a great um writer of love songs I mean wow you you know every detail about love about intimacy says took his knowledge from on high it's not that he was a a coarse individual who had nothing to do but you know live it up and then he's expressing his feelings totally wrong he was a spiritual person he was a sadic he was a a king the Jewish King and he understood the spiritual ra the spiritual idea of marriage and he expressed it as it comes out through the and the hug and the kiss and the union and all that and that's the entire approach especially if you learn Z or youve come across Z you come across sometimes you know I mean even she you know my my lips are dripping from love for you I mean it sounds like you know like a real uh love story you know and it is but who are we talking about here the Jewish people and God so the AL says this takes place every time you do a Mitzvah every time you do a Mitzvah there's a love story happening between God and ourselves that's his point let's continue is that there yes yes yes and again we do it once a day before yes and this is the meaning that you Sanctified us through your when we do a Mitzvah the Mitzvah process elevates us to a place called superal holiness Blessed Be he this is the Holiness of God his very presence and Essence now look at this line This is where he says and this Holiness this K who there's another meaning to the word Kad which means to separate the Torah talks about it talks about a harlot AA right so she separated herself from the community what word does the Torah use Torah calls her Kad a harlot a z prostitute is Holy you got to be kidding that's the language in the Torah I didn't make it up look to the Bible right and what's the answer that's the negative kadus she has separated herself from the community by being a prostitute a harlot a in the in the in the positive it's just the opposite that when you do a Mitzvah you're separating yourself from the world how do you become so in other words how do you be God makes us holy through his Mitzvah that process of the Mitzvah makes us holy because we are different we are separated from the gmas from the material we're not just the ordinary fellow in other words every time a Jew does a Mitzvah and this explains the whole of even putting on fing with someone one time and they say what's what's the purpose fool even one time you've now brought godliness into the experience that means this person who put on filling one time is on a different Plateau now to sustain it you got to put on a second and third dat understandably so but even if you don't for whatever reason the separateness has been created now it's a matter of infusing it with daily oxygen let's continue this separation refers to God who separate from the world and this is the concept of the encompassing energy of God that you refer to it's so holy that it cannot in invest itself in a in a in an inner way in other words when you do a Mitzvah listen to this when you do a Mitzvah the Mitzvah Embraces you the Mitzvah concept is here is not Torah study Tor studies mule is food digesting understanding if you don't you haven't studied Torah as far as Li understand doesn't require understanding you don't have to understand the the intricacies and the details of like knows and all that okay that's what MOA the was writing a parro fill that's a must but when I put on his parro filling I don't need to know all the is the L with the caps at this way and the crowns at this way and then if you ride it this way and if it's too close there Anar and there a pule no just have to put on the Mitzvah what's saying because through the unification of the Soul it's incorporation in the infinite God the person doing the is in the actual stage of Holiness of infinite Holiness since he unites and is Incorporated in God becoming one it says God says Jews be to me holy cuz I am Holy I've separated you from the Nations Le you're mine everyone's good but I got one love my love is you Jews it says do all of my Commandments and you shall be holy to your God God your God what does this mean through the Fulfillment of of Commandments I God am your God just like I'm the god of Abraham the god of Isaac Etc and why is God called This Way the Patriarchs were a chariot to God's energy and they were nullified and Incorporated in God so we too when we do a Mitzvah we express the same idea so therefore this is true for every single Jewish Soul during the time when he studies performance say when someone is doing a Mitzvah you have to you have to stand up for him even if he's ignoramus and a that means he doesn't know but he's doing a Mitzvah you see someone doing a Mitzvah rise why because God who's dwells and is invested in that person's Soul during the time at that time when he's doing the mitvah the issue is that the person who's doing the Mitzvah at times doesn't feel it because of the Corporal blockage of the body it hasn't been refined and therefore it it darkens the eyes of the soul from seeing the Godly Vision that that's presently do and so the average person doesn't feel it and doesn't see it whereas is the patri they saw the world to come in their life as they were living in this world guess what they saw heaven they felt Heaven they lived with heaven but says dr's point is so true there's a difference between the feeling and the seeing between the average person and and the and the oos but as far as the reality of what's taking place when you do a Mitzvah it's true to every single person let's continue the prophet also says with his divine presence Divine prophecy and he speaking on behalf of all of Israel that were at the time in Gus quote I am empty and I don't know animals I am with you and I am constantly with you so is saying as far as my knowledge is concerned I'm like an animal I'm like an ignorant person I don't feel I don't hear I'm like dumb founded I'm blocked but nevertheless I'm with you even in gos and now th explains of statements this means to say although I am like an animal W with you with regarding knowledge of God and I don't know [Music] you I don't feel in my soul top of next page 132 I don't feel this I don't feel this sense of a that's should that's on upon me or and then after the sense of the Abundant love with Godly pleasure with fire feelings of flame fire like their their their their material corporeal body and it has been refin refers to feeling includes kindness and and says although I'm not like the we Jews are not and theik feel it we don't nevertheless I am constantly with you listen it's talking to us our Caporal body the material is not a blockage to the to the unity that takes place with God Almighty that pervades all world as it says all Darkness cannot darken me from you so that's what so that's what was saying I'm in gos we're in Gs and what and and and we don't see and we don't feel God o of says and and we're like Theus which is going to explain in a moment like animals nevertheless the reality is that through a mitvah there's a this explains the stringency of um doing activities work eating that's similar for everyone now the question is why if someone is not knowledgeable why do you why do you tell him that you know he's violating the the the will of God by eating or or breaking shabas says the because also the soul of who doesn't know more May the light of chabas enlightens the world and you you can jump up and down go to the game on shabas you know do whatever it is right or eat on P PES there's a light and energy in the world and you're part of the world and shabas is every shabas and there's a light from chabas the fact that you're not connecting yet with that level of shabas that's an issue that's something you need to work with but but nevertheless shabas is here and we as Jews are obligated and involved in shabas that's what says now need and of course this punishment severe sub punishment for desecrating and all that even if you have just a little bit of a little piece of a cracker during the eight days not a whole piece of bread no bread no no no bread just a little little cracker or a tilt M or you move on chabas something a hammer that you don't need to crack open a n to eat on chabus but the hammer you use to put in a a nail on the wall to put on so you pick up you want to pick up the hammer that's called M it's designated for non shabas use when you use that it's a violation so even big deal God do you really care if I pick up a or shabas you got to be kidding right says in the name of the rabbis it makes a blemish on the spirituality of your soul just like the same thing would make a blemish on the soul of a righteous man know re is doing here he's explaining to us don't think that a little insignificant what seems to be insignificant violation of shabas for the average person's is is is not a big deal for the sadic it is wrong it's for both a big deal it's for both a big deal there's one Torah there's not one set of rules for the righteous holy ones the sadik him and one set of rules for us simpletons wrong it's one set of rules question is how do we get there how do we process it right someone comes into a Sho comes to kabad house you don't storm him hey like I told you like I told you when in 1989 I think the the actually the ners the 49 was the 49ers or the Giants the Giants were in the in the World Series and it was Russa I remember I was in Marine County at theab kabad house so my sermon that morning was like this my sermon was guys you're never going to hear from me to tell you to drive to sho I'm an orthodox Rabbi you know you're not going to hear that to me right but what I am going to tell you today is that on your way to the super to the World Series from uh Marin make a stop in in rashash to hear the chauffeur you understand there's a process there's a process we understand that we're all on on a road right so the AL says the the the the guidelines the uh blueprints for a Jew are the same for all Jews from the holy rollers to the simpletons and the question is just how to implement it let me just finish right right he says the P says why beos why plural why plural why not I'm like an animal it says I'm like animals now in this parentheses in the brackets he explains that the reason it says plural this before God Almighty even the holiest level of superal wisdom of knowledge that incorporates kindness and and severity and discipline nma is comp it seem it's insignificant you think that we're just like animals the angels are like animals if you compare the angels to God Almighty if you compare them anything of of of of physical and and Angels by the way the ram says they're Celestial beings but there there's a mixture of of physical and and spiritual I'm not going to go into that right now so he says so therefore um he says as it says everything compared to to wisdom of God is like action it's be it's action it's insignificant if you compare it to it's called the Abundant the large animal for who littlea this is the the name of God that equals 52 called B gatria it's the same equ equivocal numerical equivalent as the word beh before I'm not going to go into that right now but the point being and we finish the chapter with this that that that every beus so this is a this in this was always a a main idea that that you know remember beus you're a beh you know so so it depends how you say it but the concept being is don't get your you know you don't get your horse High you know what I'm saying and compared to the knowledge of of of a of God even angels are are are small change so explains therefore us says not everything not only us we would be one beh but even the angels beos plural are insignificant to the essence of God and nevertheless were with you how through the Mitzvah I just want to say that today is the Y side of the Reb's wife B the daughter of so we still have Al her yard side she passed away in 1988 and um her famous words were that the my father the previous and and my father and his belongings belong to this was with the the bar gari uh case Library case in other words she put in in succinctly you know what this whole idea of of ofus is that it's not about our party my party my own two sisters father own leaves over a tremendous Library worth millions of dollars we're now going to cash in and we can do whatever we want no don't work that way this Library belongs to the kahila greater than just the rabbi and the reab and each individual were all in it and you know when the rebba spoke for the first time about the library he said the reason I'm involving you because this isn't about me I'm like one of you anyone and he said anyone that considered himself a should make an uproar about what's going on here that the the the library of the kabad Kila has been taken and so in other words the perspective is that it's belongs to the community so the rebbit in Muska she was the one who who who said this to the lawyer in her deposition to that Luan and the other lawyers it's online it's fascinating she says it like calmly sitting there on her chair in her house on President's Street and Brooklyn and Crown Heights and she makes that point another thing that she said that stands out is that when the rebbi had his heart attack in 1977 the doctors wanted to uh bring him to the hospital and sedate him you know to give him a needle in the room and then knock him out and take him to the hospital cuz he wasn't uh Cooperative but they need permission and they wanted her to sign off so you know what she told them never in my life have I seen this person not in control and I will not sign if if he says he doesn't want to go that's the way it's going to be and trust me the rebba was very sick and he could have died that night okay she she that is a woman that is a woman what do I mean woman that is a union that's what we talk about that's a lady a lady who understood that that this that the re Not only was he a Reb and a sadic but he she never saw him under out of control that's what she said she wasn't talking about you know he's the laab therefore his word is Holy she wasn't coming from that perspective I believe that's true she was coming from the perspective is that this husband of mine I never saw one out of control and and he was always very sure of his opinions you could say right you could say wrong but I saw so if he says he doesn't want to go to the hospital so will it be and I'm not signing and she didn't sign I'm telling you the risk of death was very high that night and he didn't go and she didn't sign so in our annals of kabad the Reit Muska the last riton of kabad plays a very prominent role although she was out of sight you be I saw her one time in my life through a window in 1980 at the LBA Omar parade one time she wasn't seen in public she didn't come to faas she didn't come to daving why for several reasons one is she didn't want to cause any pain to her older sister maybe who would be jealous that's one of that's one of the reasons and other reasons and also you know didn't want people to make room for her make place and very lowkey very modest she was a very elegant woman both in her dress her speech she had every day I think was called the PR the newspaper come Russian newspaper she read Russian she enjoyed speaking Russian and then she had a a French paper in French come to her she would shop she would shop at fancy stores in Manhattan sax Fifth Avenue and other such places very elegant Royal person but together with that there was a a modesty I heard uh one of the speakers maybe Rabbi Lou or someone say that he came to the house and she offered them a cup of tea and took out um Fork whatever some food and he noticed on the on the the silverware it said SS what is s so he asked her he asked her Ritson what does SS refer to so she said shandel this was her sister who never died in trinka and before they left France they were together with the re reiton of France and if they would have stayed they would have probably gotten out because they would have gone the same route with the Reb the rebit right but he was re menel hardstein he was a a great-grandson of the of the Reb marash the fourth Reb of laich he had a father in Poland who owned um a um a home there for people with respiratory issues tuberculosis and an old mother they were old uh you know grandfather and Grandma they were old so they decided they're not leaving but they're going over Poland from France from Paris the Reber ran away to n n and then to Marseilles and that's how he escaped right they went back to Poland and the rest is history before she went back with him she gave her sister her silver wear and on it that's how fancy Theon girls were the daughters of the previous re SS Shanel scharon was engraved on the silverware and the ebson when she told this to the the person who visited her she broke down and you know she was very emotional but to her you know using her sister's silverware was keeping her alive so this is a little bit about this this Ritson of ours Muska and uh so many children thousands have been named after her continue to be named after her and um these are the children that she and the rebba left the physical children you know are the spiritual children that that uh that continues we see everyone with to yes yes who who who was the person that went I'm I didn't understand who was the person that went to her and saw the the silver with the SS who was that no I who is the who is the person the rabbi that that that I just mentioned yeah I I yeah yeah I I I don't remember I think was Rabbi Lou I I I I just heard it the other day and I have to remind myself I don't remember this moment I'll try to remind myself I'll tell you next time have a great chabas everyone okay love you all you all it's a great it's when you invest yourself or you jump into other you got to get in then you have SIM if you stand from the outside as a part as a an observer you ain't gonna have you got to get into other make sure you say a good the shabas you two and only you two is that before shabas or after shabas both shabas will let you do it before and after see you guys take care bye bye good shabas bye
