so this is this is the last uh letter in
the fourth section of the Tanya called
EES and in this letter the
AL does what kazal talk about which is
combine the beginning and the end the
beginning
ofes was D's letter thanking people and
encouraging them to learn Shas
throughout the year and he says that
because since it's difficult for one
person every person to learn Shas you
divide the Shas and and he talks about
that and he talks about the importance
of to the point where one's has what we
call the pouring out of the soul that
was all
in
now which this is the last letter in
thees 32 chapter 32 letter 32
here he talks about the importance of
Seda but as I mentioned yesterday it's
not just
Seda in general and not
even he spoke a lot about that
throughout
the but here he emphasizes the
importance of of getting other people to
give Saka so this is like a new a new
angle a new twist that he hasn't really
discussed it and although it's not
really it's not discussed elaborately
it's alluded to in the chapter but
nevertheless as I I I gave I spoke at
length yesterday especially
mha was a gab and you know when you're
gab the importance of getting other
people to to participate in the stiens
of sedoka and the alter
here speaks about how
s on one hand we we know that K say that
when we do a mitzvah the Mitzvah until
mhia
comes is not seen it's not
felt it's it's stored for us in a in a
treasure box and we have the key but the
key only is works when msia comes and
today's uh section that we're going to
learn says something very unique that
there's even a revelation of that even
today preia so let's go to page
and oh and one more point before we
learn
inside says that the word the the the
language
used in one of theim is
so your stands forever
but
not would beate
why so he explains here in this
chapter that that
SED is is the recipient just like the
Nika the feminine the female receives
from the Z and from that there's an
offspring so too through the act of Seda
there is a a a a receiving of the or and
S and when you receive the or and S then
there's an offspring and today now is
going to talk about the the the flip
side of that which is the virtue of of
the of the masculine terminology let's
look inside it's in back in middle of
the
page after the
period
say says
however righteousness which is the idea
of before
him shall
go who here here it doesn't
say it saysed
soed and it doesn't
say this refers to the attribute of
kindness
of is
that's awakened that's
aroused in man's
heart on his own so you see
Nika the the femal is aroused by the
male but what about the male the male
arouses himself so in other words the
the implication is the implication is
that there is there is a a level of sedu
that's you you're being aroused and then
there's a level of s where you are
arousing and that's the difference
between the feminine aspect of SED and
the masculine aspect let's look
inside this is the
attribute and this is where he where
where I mentioned to you is the
connection to the first chapter
if it get us a KES this is when we
arouse our heart through the recitation
of krishma through the aod of
krishma so here this doesn't come from
you know from the
outside W to to within but rather from
within to the outside you have to say
kishma you have to think about what
you're saying you have to meditate on
the kishma and all the
detail so when you do when you engage in
that activity that's that's masculine
that's
Z you know there's a concept
that which you know the women's lib
organization of the 60s you know had a
problem with probably still do you know
the feminine is looked upon as the weak
the weak one and the male was looked
upon as the strong
one the way Caba sees it is in a very
different way different in the sense
that the we it's it's the wording in
English is terrible you see that's the
problem many times it's the English
translation and Notions that throw us
off so when people have no idea of real
T they never
learned and they start hearing these
ideas then they say oh this is very
chauvinistic what do I mean when it says
that Nim that women are you know are are
are weak and things like that it it's a
positive statement in other words
they're
sensitive their energies are in a
sensitive area not in an aggressive
pursu of you know business and and
Pleasures so the the t is coming at it
in a from a very different perspective
and you see in as the value and virtue
of a
woman and and so Z what does Z
represent BL down strength the male is
strong
right
dominance
so the truth is as strong as the male is
but the male is the
aggressor the AL says here when it comes
to kishma when it when it comes to this
type
ofid that's called the
masculine here you have to be an
aggressor on yourself to awaken and
arouse love forem through ding through
krishma here H it's not enough to just
listen and listen and listen very nice
here you have to work you have to
meditate you have to
contemplate you have
to become engaged you have to engage
yourself that's an AV that's an if you
compare that to listening and receiving
that's an aggressor you're aggressive on
yourself let's look at his words he says
this is the type of that is aroused and
awakened in the heart of man on his own
from his own
how through the arousal of the love of
God that he causes when he says
kishma and and and and and
simultaneously cleaving and attaching
itself to
hem to the point of
to give yourself
over when saying the with
unity and here alludes
to with all your might in the most
simple sense meaning your money right
say
what's that's it's not it's not
not
it's give away your money give away
money he talking about Seda says here
that when you DAV and you arouse by
within
yourself you generate the feeling of of
AEM through kishma ultimately it spills
itself over in taking out of your
pocketbook money and giving
away and what does that accomplish
and through the arousal of the person
below and as a face that's reflected on
water when you when you your face is
reflected when you you you show it on
water so is the heart of man the superal
man when you engage in kishma
you arouse and awaken and and cause a
reciprocal effect from the from the
Heavenly heart from God's
heart there's God's everything's
metaphor metaphor as God's eyes and
there God's hashem's brains and there
God's
heart when we want you know especially
when we
when when we when we look for an
emotional
attachment
and when you engage your
heart
through reciprocates an emotional
attachment to you let's
continue this causes the arouser from
above
who this is the drawing down of the
infinite light of hem
means who the peripheral
right all the way
here the physical
world in a revealed
way it will be revealed during the time
of the
Resurrection as I wrote explained in a
letter of last year but has a great
length but what he says is
that the Revelation m is caused through
your now not the Revelation I'm sorry
the the drawing down is now it will be
revealed when when during the time of
the it's interesting that throughout
this
letter just hit me now he he he doesn't
he doesn't talk he doesn't say bismania
he emphasizes a few
times which is interesting because it's
two separate right it's two separate
periods the the the period of the
resurrection and there's the period of B
mashia and the period
ofes interesting that he that he I don't
know why he he
emphasizes versus of Masia but okay
that's what he
does and this is going back to
the that's
the the theed but in the masculine form
not
buted will walk before
you your a through kishma in ding will
bring fourth P the upper face the
superal
countenance
milus from the world
ofus to the physical
world physical world and
concludes now it's time to be
brief I can't I'm not going to he says
I'm not going to write more
and now he gives the to the people that
are are giving and getting others to
give to everything they discussed in
this letter all
good should not be withheld from the
people will do good to those that are
good to those that are righteous believe
in their heart
as the soul searches Hashem will
reciprocate so this is the the the
formal the last chapter of
UMES and uh by the bring in and I'll
make it like a more of a formal SC I'll
share a word of theb on this on this pic
but we've gone through
now for
and um that's that's a great
accomplishment we're able to have it
recorded
and cons that come considered part of T
that what we'll do next we're going to
do next yes even though it's it's very
cabalistic but I decided you know I I
want to do something for eternity so I'm
going to do it and you know as much as
we understand it it it it's definitely
part of tan but but but but it's not the
the four sections as you see it's
called a uh final uh
pamphlet what he does and I'll talk
about it more after P what he does is he
he he he elaborates on some of the based
on cabala cabalistic
elaborations on some of the thoughts
that he mentioned in in in the first
section of Tanya in
and that's why it's it's heavily it's
heavily
cabalistic which it's it's interesting
you know like his material yeah yeah
it's it's it's very interesting that he
that he that he that he did that like in
other words Hill why didn't why didn't
he put it into the T the answer is cuz
the Tanya is for the average person not
the those that are you know no Caba you
know and that's that's a mistake that
people make which I've told you many
many times Tanya is not a book of Caba
is a book of for the average person
which uses and employs capitalistic
words and Concepts
absolutely you know
uh you know in translating I think he
dides I think you know he you know I I
once I spoke to him he said you know the
said especially GES if you know Capa
then a lot of the
things are are richer you know if if you
really know because you know many times
he alludes to with a word to
capitalistic concept
but what question about I had a question
about the the the word SED and yeah
because I once saw a Torah I think it
was in the name of
this that was talking about the Shir
that there are not t the T
Shiro and he said and the last one
um
shash is masculine so he said so he said
that that
um uh if that why does why are all the
the previous shirro are feminine or
Shir with a hey at the end and he said
because you know there are all times of
Shir that are followed by declines but
the
shash won't be followed by a decline so
I wonder if there's you could say a
similar idea by the idea ofed here
versus Sak do you know
that the need the need continues but
that that that
ultimately we get to a realm of tedc
where where where the need is sort of
fulfilled that there's a time of G from
all those ups and downs yeah that's a a
very good Russia H you should be giving
the sermon the shabas and in is
KES I I know my audience no but no no
it's it's a good thought I I I
haven't I've seen something similar but
I I don't recall that seeing it on the
word SED and S which you're you know but
but yeah no no right right but it it it
sounds like you know it sounds like it's
the right the right path I I wouldn't
have a problem in accepting such a you
know okay now just um a a thought
for because it
is it's also it's also
um and it's
also yes
Misha Hill forgive me um maybe you can
you put your mute mute yourself mute
yourself yeah thank you
thank so so we have three things we have
kak
shabes and
uh and
shabas so what's the connection so the
spoke about this over the years in my uh
years attending and I'm just just
recollecting what what he said spoke
about the concept of
k n is about
K right this is
about renewal okay we'll use a a h a New
Mexico word
renewal the renewal of
self the renewal of the Jewish
people this month is the month which
celebrates what Misha told me in
201718 when I was
people here are stale they're good
people and they're fruit people but
there's stale they stale you got to
renew to and and and it's not just in ra
it's all over it's in Bor Park and it's
it's people get accustomed to a certain
routine and on one hand the routine is
good that would be
theed there has to be the
there has to be the the the
masculine the the
constant positive aggression to
to revolutionize yourself revolutionize
yourself that what I did yesterday is
not adequate what I did yesterday is
what I did now comes it's a new
beginning and that's ultimately what we
sayak
right five times a year we say that it's
not just be strong be strong strong
strong and we will be
strong if you're doing the same old
thing it's no be strong with with with
with a
new was a his name was Ruben it was uh
from slim originally actually the city
of slim
he went into theab became kabik and uh
survived the war and he would say that
we say we
say right means the rashes rishes right
say R is from the word
Ro
head means not just month for the word
new you hear what he
said you have to have a new
head he said
in a a cup is a head is a cute way of
saying the
head that's what is about not just the
same
old and you know yesterday I don't know
if you you saw but yesterday there was
the L here in B Park of the AR of the
first
kabad here a second laab actually um in
B Park which started in
1929 but moved to this location in 1936
and and the the r was Rabbi Simpson he
was a he passed away in
77 and his son inlaw RAB
Rosenfeld who has sons are
him in Switzerland in
Colombia inas you know you know where
RAB Rosenfeld has the Seminary he's the
oldest Rabbi yoseph Roosevelt so his
father passed away and the levia was
yesterday and they that was his that was
his father 95 years
old three weeks
ago he was mad kadushin for his great
grandchild standing under the HOA making
BR 3 weeks ago as of Sunday he told the
son from Switzerland who said I'm coming
you know he was he had he got ponia and
they let hospitalize them and he said
I'll be a Tuesday he said no no come now
come now Sunday and the son talker
didn't make it before he passed down
passed away Tuesday morning anyway so
thei was
yesterday I grew up in that Sho when
when I was 9 years old our my family my
parents moved from East Flatbush to the
burrow Park I've told you that so I grew
up in that Shool you know from from nine
and you know so I'm standing there
outside and looking at the Shool and the
Sho basically you know is now closed but
he he merited seeing that was bought by
another
institution who puts out
the they bought that building and
they're going to make their a center you
know so he he he he got what he wanted
which is that it should remain in kad's
hands okay but you on one hand it's like
it's like sad you know it's an era
that's closed it's finished you know it
it's finished in Hebrew we say
Yi that's it it ain't
changing but on the other
hand we know that there's
D
wants people young people to come to
continue and to bring new ideas and
that's the way the world is so it's a
balance on one hand you know when the P
when you when you when it confronts you
that this is over it's finished it's sad
you know it's like if you grew up with
it on the other hand on the other hand
you you realize that
wants now a newah a new a new generation
to to give what they can do you know so
it's
and for us you know Grand we're parents
and grandparents you
know we have children and
grandchildren great grandchildren it you
have to you have to you have to rec you
have to understand that you have to and
you have to become comfortable with it
in the sense that to not to share what
what you
saw is a crime you know but but at the
same time you got to let people the
young people grow and develop
and Al what does the AL say in the first
chapter of Tanya that hasem has put
within every generation 30 sadim
that's it there was this Reon that
Reon don't think that there aren't sikim
don't think there aren't holy people and
don't think there are good people and
the you got to find them you know like
several years ago this uh
thisy like he know he talks Ti from like
he came out of nowhere what's his name I
forget his name now
I forgot his name I'll think of his name
Manuka
Manuka yeah I mean like where did this
guy come from why didn't we hear from
him 20 I don't know all of a sudden
boom you know and before that it
was so
anyway I'm just saying I'm just saying
that is we don't we don't remain in a
state of mourning in a state of almana
you know the abish loves us and the ab
provides you just have to find them and
and and and when you kind of balance and
integrate the
past and the future you know present and
future then you have a healthy situation
you
know so you know when someone was 95
passes away and you see the kids white
per who are 75 years old 70 75 years old
it's like it's very interesting I I just
I was standing there looking at his sons
and they're all you
know and and do so much good work on
behalf of the Jewish people you know
whatever it's just a very interesting
phenomenon it's not something you see
every day you know how many people you
know live to 95 the AG is is the
expectancy is is growing and you know
but but nevertheless 95 is is a good
amount of years right and
healthy you could live to many years and
God forbid if this illness it's you know
to live to 95 the man walked up upright
he was a tall man he walked U right at
92 93 but people say like wow yeah I
think in youron you have um the breast
liver what's his name uh re name
I I
met in 25 30 years ago I remember on one
shabas afternoon I just walked around
Mayim and I I asked where he is and I
walked his door I knocked his door and I
and I and and he had a he had a black
beard now that was like 20 25 years ago
he's still almost maybe he has the H
little
gray it's a br it's a it's a br it's a
big br so
we a in a healthy way with good quality
of life you know good quality of life
and we should share with the younger
generation at the same time we should
give them a chance an opportunity to you
know
bring within the confines
of and all that you know to to the world
and then we have
uhak kazak okay okay so we'll see
everyone have a great great shabas a
