okay we'll start with
Kish starting a new parha of course
par
byi last week last week's para ends with
Rifka and
Yak sending away their son
Yakov to K to the place of
rifka's
parents rifka's
home so that he can a escape from wow
this chair is very squeaky escaped from
as's wrath as we know asov at this point
wanted to kill Yak was planning to kill
him and as RKA told yov as is explained
by Rashi that he's in his eyes you're
already a dead
man says like
this left and went to right away there's
a very interesting comment of rash
so that's actually not the the rash that
I was thinking of when I said it right
away an interesting Rashi but the point
is as we saw at the very end of last
week's para that ASA saw that his wives
were causing distress to his parents so
he went ahead and took another wife who
was also an evil woman but he figured
that that would impress his
father and now we go back to the
original topic that we had started
saying which is that y set out
now this is the interesting rash that it
says that he
went you think about it it would have
made more sense to use the word not of
course there's another para
entitled but this one's called and he
went because we're using this word went
to it would have made more sense to use
a different word that he left why and he
went
to why we dealing with him
leaving from Bea really the the the main
thing here is that he's going to
to go get
married it teaches us that aad leaving
from a certain place makes a imprint it
leaves an impression
when aad is in is in a place he is that
places Shining Light and guide and
Splendor and when the tadak leaves that
that greatness left and we see a similar
term by Naomi and and
R and he went
to he left in order to go
to right so it ends with what what Rashi
asked it technically could have started
with but it didn't start with that
because he wanted to teach us that it
wasn't only that he left to it wasn't
only that he went to but it was that he
left baraba and the impression that aad
leaves in a place is of course great but
when their physical presence leaves
there's there is a a serious lack that
is felt actually
today is the beginning of the new month
of K the month of Miracles and this day
especially in kabad laich is a great C
celebratory day because on this day the
Reb after his higher heart attack
in um recovered enough to leave 770 and
go home and ever since then there have
been uh tremendous celebrations and uh
what's
77 I think so um and yeah so it's a very
very special day where we celebrate that
ultimately uh a sadic it's not about the
physical but when we have a revelation
of the physical it's a great celebration
and it's also together in conjunction
with which is a great
Revelation if you ask anyone of the
Reb's life because all of these I think
by now it's almost 6,000 uh
families all of these that's men women
and children are
literally
um given over to the Rab's mission of
making sure every Jew knows that mashia
is about to be here and prepares
themselves by getting in mashia mode by
increasing in t study doing another
mitzvah with more enthusiasm loving one
another most importantly and all of this
very joyfully okay moving
on on the way he came upon the place
which was Mount Moria he spent the night
there because the son had set he took
some of the stones of that place and
placed them around his body and head and
then laid down in that place to sleep
um you know what I think perhaps for the
purpose of these of these live streams
it's better
to
go and uh and go quicker reading each P
and then its translation and then we'll
do the rashis
afterwards um if anybody disagrees then
please uh let it be known let me know
what you think that's what I think it
should be the way we do
it for for
continuity he had a dream he beheld a
ladder standing firmly on the ground and
sloping upward its top reaching up
toward Heaven the angels of God who had
accompanied him on his trip thus far
were ascending it back toward heaven for
they were not permitted to leave the
land of Israel and other Angels who were
designated to accompany him while he was
outside the land of Israel were
descending
it and behold God was standing over him
to guard him during his sourn Inon he
said I am God God of ABR your forbear
God and God of Isaac he miraculously
contracted the entire land of Israel
into the four Cubit Four Square cubits
under Jacob's body and told him I told
abam your grandfather to walk through
the land but to you I promise that
conquering it will be even easier than
walking through it as effortless as
laying
down this is how I will give the land of
upon which you are lying to you and your
descendants your descendants will be as
numerous as the dust of the earth and
you will spread out powerfully to the
west to the east to the north and to the
South and all the families on Earth will
be blessed through you and through your
descendants behold you do not need to to
fear as or
love for I am with you I will protect
you wherever you go and I will bring you
back to this land for I will not neglect
you by not providing you with food and
clothing until I have fulfilled what I
promised Abraham concerning you for I
intend to fulfill all the promises I
made to
Abraham through you and not through your
brother asov including my promise that
Abraham's children will all remain true
to their Heritage esa's inheritance from
Abram will consist solely of the
territory promised to him but not of the
ideals and the values that
that he might have wanted to inculcate
within his
children awoke from his sleep and
said God is truly present in this place
yet I was not aware of it had I known
that this was a holy place I would not
have SL slept
here he became afraid and said how
awesome is this place this is none other
than Haria the mount Maria the future
sight of the house of God and thus this
is the Gateway through which prayer
ascends to
Heaven passing through the Heavenly
Temple which is figuratively situated
above the the sight of the Earthly
Temple the physical Temple meaning the
sight of the future
Temple is in the place on Earth most
receptive to the spiritual consciousness
of the higher
worlds what happens
next y Rose early in the morning took
the stone that he had placed under his
head and set it as a monument he then
poured oil on the top of it consecrating
it as an
altar this place was already known as
Basel but in light of the Revelation
that he had just received yakiv ratified
this name he named that place again
Basel House of God although the original
name of the town was l
y made a vow saying if God will be with
me and I will and will protect me
physically on this journey that I am
undertaking and you will give me bread
to eat and clothing to
wear and will protect me spiritually
from loven's Evil influence
so that I will be able to return to my
father's house untainted by
sin and if God will both will be both my
God and the god of my children I will
father in Lan's house in that they all
remain shrew to their Heritage and not
Rebel as did some of my grandfather
abah's and one of my father Isaac's
children as he promised me all this
then what then this stone that I have
set up as a monument will become a house
of God I will offer up sacrifices on it
and addressing God directly he said I
will set aside for you a tenth of
everything you give me as my four beers
did okay so that is theim the verses
from today's
give me I have a little bit of a
headache I'll go through the rashis
[Music]
very small letters
here so y
established the evening
prayer m
I don't know how that teaches us that
the Earth contracted by not using the
word
so the sun set earlier than it would
Naturally Speaking Hashem made the sun
set earlier in order for y to go to
sleep
so he places Stones he places Stones
around his head and then all of these
Stones argue with one another that I
should be the The Rock on which this
zadic leans his head I don't just want
to be here I want to be underneath I
want to be the main support so they were
all fighting over this great position to
serve as yak's pillow so turned them
into one stone and that's why later on
even though here it says that he took
stones and surrounded his head with them
later on it says that he took the stone
and then he makes it into pillar and he
promises hasem that this will
be well he makes it a and he promises
this will be the house of
God it says that he laid down in that
place
it's an exclusionary
term specifically there he he slept he
laid
down last week we learned that for 14
years before went to he studied another
14 years in Yesa right known as yes sh
here we're calling it B probably because
at that point it was actually I don't I
was about to say that probably at that
point shame had passed but I don't know
for some reason I feel like a passed
first but this is what he's calling it
um that this was the Yesa B
A and for those 14 years not only did he
like learn for 14 years straight you
know that's a that's more intense than
uh in becoming a doctor but he didn't
sleep he really really sat and learned
uh very devotedly and that's why it says
that he slept here because here he slept
for the previous 14 years where he was
totally involved in Terra study he was
so consumed by it that he didn't
sleep okay it said that he saw these
angels going up and
down he saw some going up first and then
afterwards coming down so it wasn't the
same she's about to
explain the that accompany him while
he's in the land of Israel or at that
point the land of Canan but in the holy
land they don't leave to accompany him
outside of the the holy land their
mission stays in the holy land so they
were going back into whatever Realm Of
Heaven they
belong and the angels that accompany him
outside of the land outside of the Holy
Land are coming down the ladder to
accompany him because he's on his way
out
right so he said that Hashem was
standing over him
n what to guard him and then what
happened told him I am God the god of
and the god
of
so very very interesting so I didn't
really finish inside but I don't want to
say too many words not in English so I
don't lose anyone
um usually Hashem doesn't we usually
don't find in the scripture that Hashem
calls himself the god of someone unless
that person already passed why because
being in a human body there is the
chance that a person will rebel against
God that's the way that God made us
that's the way that Hashem wants it to
be and being so Hashem doesn't attach
himself to say I'm the God of this
person until they've already passed but
we find over here that he's calling
himself the god of Isaac he's telling
Yakov I'm the god of Abraham Abraham had
already passed and the god of your
father Isaac but y was still living and
it's explained that because his eyesight
dimmed or According to some because he
was blind basically his his physical
body was no longer uh capable of or or
perhaps you can say that the chances
were so much more slim for him to sin
for him to see something wrong you know
um and then desire it of course we're
talking about
our the elegant
Slayer what's going on did I pronounce
right um yeah there's a lot a lot of
books behind me there's many many books
of the Torah um and the Torah of course
is God's Will and wisdom and God being
infinite there is an infinite amount of
wisdom to learn to study um right now
we're studying the
Torah so it says that God calls himself
the god of Isaac but Isaac was alive but
because his eyesight had dimed he was as
if the evil inclination totally left him
because the the inclination in each of
us that has you know the ability to make
us desire evil is simply animalistic and
it just wants to you know eat and sleep
and and reproduce it just wants to
survive it doesn't mean that it's evil
necessarily but if we but it is possible
to get too caught up in these things and
an animal doesn't look at life as good
and evil it just looks at life as an
animal instinctually right this is what
I want this is what I don't want doesn't
think that taking the little baby lamb
away from its mother is an a heinous
crime it's not murder it's just that's
that's the the how the lion cub Will
Survive it's going to grab the lamb and
take it and and you know eat it so the
point is when us humans we have an
animalistic soul and if we don't tame it
then God forbid it could bring us to do
something evil and one of the one of the
um main interfaces for Desiring
something evil is of course our eyes we
can see something um wrong and then want
it and that could uh lead us down a
whole uh uh spiral do the so is asking a
question I don't always answer
everything here but we don't even have
so many people joining us here and I'm
so happy to answer do the texts give any
advice to self-control yourself from
going into a spiral or of just
fulfilling Primal desires
um yeah of course I mean what we're
learning right now is very much teaching
us that by obviously unlike Isaac we
shouldn't try to we shouldn't become
blind right I wouldn't wish that on
anyone um and we think actually one of
the blessings that we say to God every
single day is we thank God for our sight
we thank God for our vision and in this
blessing of course there's there's
profound profound meaning it's not only
that we're thanking God for our physical
sight for my eyes working but I'm also
thanking God for vision for being able
to know the difference to see the
difference between good and evil but
when it comes to physical sight being
that my you know that's the interface to
see something yeah by not looking at
certain things by basically being blind
to certain things that is the way to
avoid sin I mean some things like right
now here we're we're we're studying this
over the internet right it's probably
not news to any of us that the internet
is filled with with lewd images with
pornography and things like that now it
doesn't necessarily mean that a person
should never use the internet right as
we see right now A person can use the
internet for something good now if a
person is like an addict or a person
really is struggling with that perhaps
totally ignoring and being blind to the
internet is there is what they need to
do at least for for a while um but the
point is specifically shutting your eyes
to certain things is the way to to gain
uh the
self-control sometimes just looking at
something bad is already the problem not
only the beginning of a problem leading
to something else but as any uh any porn
addict would would tell you that at some
point it's not only it's not only the
problem of looking at the porn but it's
what that could lead to and how you know
the porn basically becomes not enough
and then they they need to go uh solve
or deal with their Addiction in another
way that that's more
material that's what I do in my life as
I've learned from other people that it's
better to throw away things which are
causing great trouble than just trying
self-control that's right that's right
now ultimately though when it comes down
to it the purpose of life is to be able
to channel our animalistic drives into
Holiness so again like we shouldn't
blind ourselves because we need to be
able to use our sight to look at good
things we need to be able to see the
good in the world but yeah the the first
stage is definitely it's a more
Elementary stage but it's an absolutely
vital stage which is to
you if you if you need if you need to
ignore something you totally ignore it
before you're able right like even when
it comes to relationships a lot of
Psychology today says like oh this
person's toxic so cut them off you know
and I'm not getting into whether or not
like that whole philosophy is true of
like this person's toxic or not or
whatever it's just subjective right if I
feel like this person is not a good
friend to me um or this person well if
I'm not good when I'm around this person
it to me that person feels toxic right
but the point is it it I the goal isn't
to need to cut someone off you know I
can't say like Oh I'm a better person
now because I've cut off this person and
this person and and whatever like
ultimately I should become the type of
person that I could tolerate and not
just tolerate but even to be able to see
the beauty and people that really irk me
and bother me but yeah I guess the not I
guess the the truth is like you're
saying the first stage is to is to like
say okay I'm not going to practice
self-control with it I'm just going to
remove this for my life until I've built
up enough control that now I can make
sure to use it in a positive
way um okay thanks for your input and
please uh please follow and keep leaving
comments and tune in whatever you'd like
we learn a whole bunch of different
things on here right now we're learning
from the Torah itself from the five
books of Moses um we just started
chapter 28 in Genesis um but in general
we learn all sorts of different things
that are that are very
unique yeah it's very hard to do with
family I mean I'm not sure I don't know
what you mean by it's hard to do with
family but in general when when we work
on ourselves as people it's it's easier
to
change who we are when it comes to
people that are not so close to us I I
okay I'm going it's a little I'm going
off on a little tangent here but your
your comments are very good so I'm
addressing them I remember once sitting
late night with a friend of mine um a
close friend of mine by the name of barl
and we we studied a lot together a lot
of you know uh Torah ethics
Andis
um and he tells me like this I'm
paraphrasing but these were close to
like the words that he said he was like
Ellie you know we think we're doing such
a good job at refining ourselves and
refining our animal soul and all of that
and he's like the real the
real the real measure of our success if
we're doing a good thing at all is if
when you're home with your family with
your you know and your siblings or your
mother or your wife when someone very
close to you is who only those people
know how to really push your buttons not
even that they necessarily mean to but
because they know you so well perhaps
you feel like they should know me better
than to say this or to do this so he was
saying like that's really the the test
to see if you're if you're growing um so
you're right it is hard to do with
family this is what Bible I'm not much
aware with religions yeah this is I mean
it is the Old Testament we call it the
Torah because that is what it what
Hashem calls it what God calls it Torah
means a lesson and it's eternally
relevant um so I'm Jewish I don't know
if you are if you're Jewish or if you
associate yourself with any religion but
if your mom is Jewish that makes you
Jewish that's how that works and yeah so
we study the Torah together right now
this is the literal um from the five
books of Moses from the OG Bible the Old
Testament um but yeah there's plenty to
learn we learn uh all sorts of uh we
learn cidic philosophy we learned Jewish
law so here we're learning about the
story of Jacob our forefather going to
find his
wife so it says that he was lying upon
it Hindu by birth like the teachings
okay very cool so you're more than
welcome to uh to be here I don't know if
like you'll you'll relate to everything
we're learning about here um because it
is like mainly Jewish teachings but as a
Jew I I believe that um God gave me the
Torah and wants us to to through living
a lifestyle of Torah to basically share
goodness with everyone but Jewish people
don't like prelati or believe to uh get
anyone out of their religion and into
this one in fact we don't encourage
conversion the Jewish Hashem tells us
that
whatever there are seven universal laws
and whatever you're so I'm not so
familiar with Hinduism but whatever your
religion is or whatever you best um
align yourself with so long as it's
honest and good and and believes in only
one God the one creator of all um you're
you like you don't need a change there's
no it's not about the title of the
religion or even the text of your
prayers or anything like that but the
point is to believe in and speak to only
the one true creator God
and if you look up um I'm happy to have
you here but also you can definitely
leave the stream and look up online the
seven and Noah High laws um I'll
actually put it in the comments here so
you can so you can have a resource where
to look for
it I'm typing
it so on this website if you search
seven noahide laws which I'll type up
also then it will bring you to a whole
bunch of uh cool articles and
information on
this these are the seven universal laws
that God gave to humanity right the
Torah God gave to the Jewish people but
God gave the seven noahide laws to
humanity and as a Jew it's that's
definitely my obligation to share that
with um whoever is interested
in uh by whoever is interested I mean
whoever isn't aware yet that God has
graced us with these seven ways to bring
about ultimate divine revelation in our
personal life in your personal life and
in the lives of all of our friends loved
ones and really ultimately the whole
world because when the whole world is
following these these seven universal
laws the way that God wants it is it is
a basically Utopia it's really really
that is what we're at that's what we're
going for and that's totally attainable
undoable
okay oh I actually so I read it all
inside now we're just going through the
commentary of
Rashi the 11th century commentator
foremost commentator on the Terra so he
says God blesses Jacob and says that
your children will spread out powerfully
to all four corners of the Earth the
West the east north south that's the
word for for spreading out powerfully
says
rash and God says I will be with
you Jacob was scared of his brother ASA
who wanted to kill him and concerned
about Lan who he's going into his town
Lan is the brother of his of his mother
it's his uncle Loven but Lovin was known
to be a real uh trickster not a good
person person and yet yob Jacob is about
to go and stay with him for for who
knows how long so he's pretty concerned
about that not only physically but
perhaps um but also and perhaps mainly
on a spiritual level he didn't want to
be influenced by L's bad ways
so rash is basically telling us how to
understand this verse when he's saying
to Jacob that your children will be
blessed and he's saying that it's
specifically um through I I bless your
grandfather that it will be through his
son y and not through all of the
descendants of his son y but
specifically through you that these
blessings will come about um on all four
corners of the
world so Jacob wakes up after having
this dream and this revelation of God
and he's frightened because he's like I
didn't know that this is a holy place
and I slept here I wasn't I guess like I
wouldn't have slept here had I known the
immense
Holiness because if I knew I wouldn't
have slept here
if I'm pronouncing that word
correctly oh this is a long
one okay I actually I'm going to need to
use a different version of to maybe that
has a map or maybe that has translation
for me to understand this better um so
I'm going to skip it for
now
uh
interesting he's saying this is a place
that I could pray because it's such a
a a place of divine revelation and the
med tells us that he was in the location
of the future Holy Temple basically
right there on the Temple mount in
Jerusalem and right corresponding to
that is the is the is the place um of
the Holy Temple above so basically that
location on physical Earth is the place
that's most receptive to spiritual
consciousness
[Music]
interesting if I
return if I return in peace what do I
mean when Jacob is saying what does he
mean when he says to return in
peace in peace in one pieace not having
become fragmented from
sin so I
shouldn't I shouldn't learn I shouldn't
be influenced from the ways
of that he should be able to rest his
name on me from beginning to
end you shouldn't find anyone unworthy
among my descendants
and then
what if you do these things for me then
I will do this for you and make this
into
a a house of God
okay that is the end of today's portion
I still have do that Rashi
inside um but let's go ahead and study
Tanya
Tanya has been very very uh
esoteric it's always esoteric but it's
been like very difficult to understand
the past few
days here I have the lessons in Tanya
version that should explain
okay second are we finishing gimma or
starting
doll I think we're starting
doll let me check
oh yeah we're finishing gimel
today that's what I
thought okay so we are in middle of
something and we're finishing oh yeah m
is not even out
invalid
prayer oh that's why I didn't do Tanya
yesterday that's
embarrassing yday was a hectic
day
okay let's start from there
as to what is stated in
the that prayer without proper intent is
repelled into the lowest Heaven
indicating that whatever is called the
lowest Heaven is still some point of
heaven so prayer without proper intent
goes
there but in the the implication is that
only if it's prompted by the proper
intent do the appointed Angels bring it
up to heaven so is it in heaven or not
even if it's in the lowest place of
Heaven it's still somewhere it's still
there so it seems to be a contradiction
but it's
not for the expression in the lowest
Heaven of the heavens that govern the
world refers
to whereas in the reference is to as is
written
in 3 in reference to Z there it could be
argued that the above question
presupposed that the lower Heaven of PUD
was of the same level as the heaven
above of vak for the lower level for the
lower Heaven Too is above the Sun
lowest refers to
Mia and over there where that's being
repelled is from Zia so it could stay in
malos I
guess so lower could same level
[Music]
as oh
meaning meaning we thought it's the same
level but it's not the same
level there is malos and there's
Z by the same token the answer refers to
two distinct levels of
Heaven refers to refers to to which
prayers Ascend when they are with the
proper intent from this level they
ascend yet further to the godliness of
the 10 spes of and Bria the main point
here however is the main point here is
however that when a prayer is not seamly
it is not elevated even to but
merely it could be explained that when
prayer without proper intent is elevated
to the lower Heaven its elevation does
not bring about that which prayer should
affect so it goes there but okay great
the point is that we're trying to affect
something with the
prayer for in order for a prayer to have
its proper effect such a fulfillment of
its requests such as the Fulfillment of
its requests there must be drawn down
into the word this world the degree of
divine influence that transcends the
world thereby Healing The Sick or
providing the years's blessings and so
on
when however as prayer is repelled to in
other words to that level from which all
worldly things derive their life force
then this level obviously cannot provide
for whatever the world is
lacking because that is the the source
of influence for the world however when
a properly motivated prayer reaches up
toia from there enough flux can be drawn
down into the world to provide whatever
the world lacks thereby fulfilling the
individual's
petitions the apparent implication
in that even invalid prayer prayer whose
intent is confused by alien thoughts
ascends to the first chamber when it is
hurled down and this chamber is in Z
Bri so it would seem that it first does
go to Z Bria and then it gets thrown
down this presents no difficulty for
even palpable sin it's not just one that
you said words but didn't really think
about think about God or think about
their intent think about their their
meaning even palpable sins minor and
grave as send there even as far as the
fourth chamber as it is written in the Z
on page r b 252
a it's thus certain that in essence the
above ascensions are not identical and
there is no comparison or similarity
between them except for the common name
this will suffice for the Discerning the
elevation of good actions means that
they are actually uplifted to higher
degrees of Holiness where they
accomplish whatever they are intended to
accomplish with regard to sins however
their elevation to the higher worlds
brings about a blemish there
so it goes to heaven but not because
it brings Heavenly light down into your
life but it causes a
blemish when we say that an invalid
prayer Ascend to the first chamber we
are not at all speaking of that kind of
elevation that first takes that takes
place when a prayer is offered with the
proper intent we're talking about it
going up and causing a blemish God
forbid and with with this we can
understand or another version says that
perhaps it should
be this enables us grasp the statement
in the Z on page 247 that in the second
chamber there is to be found the one
appointed over the garments that clothe
the soul as a result of the performance
of the mitz in the above paragraph the
Hebrew offers several variations as
substitutes for the bracketed text
possibly the text should read There is
found the one appointed or possibly It
should read the garments are
housed that's what I was saying is
or right so but to translate it more
simple there is found the one who's
appointed
notes by the Rabel over here which of
course I'll
read the one rather than one and then I
pointed over
garments Oham
[Music]
the
one there is the one
appointed rather than appointed over the
garments I don't understand that one to
be very honest the Expressions is found
in our house both relate these garments
specifically to the second
chamber there's however some difficulty
here for it would seem that an even
stronger statement is made there that
the Garment is actually fashioned in
this chamber through the performance of
the
mitz um again uh the Expressions is
found and are
housed both
relate these garments specifically to
the second chamber there is however some
difficulty because it would seem that an
even stronger statement is made there
that the Garment is actually fashioned
in this chamber through the performance
of the MIT so why would we be saying
that they are housed there if they are
created
there
okay ratio even though the Mitzvah is
performed and by extension the Soul's
garments that are fashioned by the
Mitzvah that you perform are in the
lower GH the world of a as it says over
there in the Z page 210 so how then do
we say now we're going to lead into
today's portion how then do we say that
the one appointed over or alternatively
the garments of the performance of the
mitv are to be found in the second
Chamber Of The World of
Bria right because either we're saying
that the one appointed over the
performance of the MIT or the one
appointed over or or the garments of the
performance of the mitz are to be found
in the second Chamber Of The World de
Bria right so based on what we we just
explained we're going to come we're
going to be able to understand this
however as we explained earlier the
above elevations are essentially
dissimilar thus through the Mitzvah
performed are loc uh I'm sorry though
the Mitzvah performed are located in the
Lower Garden of Aiden in the lower level
of ganen the world of AIA the soul
nevertheless ascends to the second
chamber of Bria and receives from there
the garments that result from the
performance of mitv for the elevation of
the soul to the level of Bria in order
to receive its garments is utterly
different from the elevation of the mitz
themselves to the Lower Garden of Eden
of the world of AIA
[Music]
per the elevation of the Soul to the
level of Bria to get the Garment is
utterly different from the elevation of
the Mitzvah themselves to the Lower
Garden of Eden of the world of
AIA and that's why it says that in the
second chamber there is to be found the
one appointed over the garments or there
is to be found the garments
even
though the mitzah is
performed and by extension the Soul's
garments that are fashioned thereby are
in the lower so we said that the MIT are
in
Ganan and we said that in the second
chamber is
the
right now in valid prayer is superior
studied with a distin impr proper
intention is that we call Under the Sun
since it's carried out for the purpose
of self angerment it does not Ascend at
all it's not uh it's simply not
good but studying
T
even without any specific intention to
connect to God as we are doing right
now it's neutral it's without a negative
intention though it's prompted merely by
one's Latin innate
love is it l lent or latent I feel like
I always ask that now that I'm finally
on a live
video questioning and I can't just pull
up Google and uh find out how to
pronounce it in order to then if I'm
using it in an edited video use it
correctly hopefully that will stir me
to actually knowing how to pronounce it
next
time um but the neutral study of T I'm
going to go with I'm going to go with
lat
latent the neutal study of tah that is
without a negative intention but is
prompted merely by one's latent one's
covered innate
love right like when school children are
learning they might not be thinking of
the mystical intent that they are of how
much they are they are experiencing a
bond and and that they're uh uniting and
expressing their Unity with God but yet
they their breath is Breath untainted by
sin children are are
[Music]
innocent this breath sends a loft even
though it may be empat emphatically not
altruistic but only prompted by fear of
punishment by the teacher right they go
to school they need to
learn in the same way an adult who
studies of neutral intent is not tainted
by sin which it would be if he had
studied for an ulterior motive it
therefore
ascends heavenward so invalid prayer is
superior Terror study with a distinctly
improper
intention because that does that doesn't
go up but prayer goes to the goes to
heaven even the lowest Heaven if it's
not a great prayer you know but neutral
Torah study is similar to what we say
about the school children
and what do we say about the school
children that the Angels bring up their
Torah study even to the world
ofos it's primary meaning the term
Breath untainted by sin signifies that
the breath of the teror study of school
children is untainted because it
proceeds from individuals who at this
age are incapable of sin as thear says
in tra
chab said in the name
of the world exists solely by virtue of
the breath of the mouths of school
children who study Torah said of papaya
and what of my Torah study and
yours he replied there is no comparison
between breath that knows sin and breath
that is free of sin this means that
children are not in the category of
those who
sin wow I'm getting cold in here let me
put on a jacket I'll be right back and
then there's a nice story over here that
I'm going to read and then perhaps we'll
end it even though we could do MRA
um yeah we'll
see my ears are cold
okay look kind of creepy in this
[Music]
the once recall though when his father
taught him the above text he first
explained that the Angel's elevation of
the terror study of these children
toos as CED above from the Z by the AL
relates to the same rarified level as
the superal unions that are accomplished
by those who to refine their bodies
according to the secrets of
cabala then added that the is emphasis
that is that this study comprised the
breath untainted by sin can be explained
as follows this is the breath of Terror
words spoken by little children in
artless Simplicity when they say for
example and they believe with a simple
and agant faith that these and likewise
all the other bowels and cons consonants
of the T
consonants of the I have two words I
need to go look up were transmitted to
Moses on sin and the Very breath that
emanates from their hearts is utterly
pure and untainted by
sin I just learned an interesting thing
this morning that a
Piller apparently said that anyone who
studies the oliveas out of a t anyone
who teaches a young child the alive bays
out of aanya for the first time is
guaranteed that there that that child
will never grow up to be an
eparis this commentary continued to RAB
sh continued RAB shalam de comes as an
addition to the plain and primary
meaning of breath untainted by
sin that these children are still pure
from the taint of
sin moreover the above interpretation of
breath being untainted by sin in as much
as it emanates from uttering words of
terror with simple
Faith applies not only to children but
to adults as well they too can affect
Sublime superal unions RAB sh bled this
interpretation on a story he heard from
the baled when he visited his holy
resting place at mebsh at that time the
B
related on his 16th birthday he found
himself in a small
village the local inkeeper was a very
simple person who hardly knew how to
read the prayers let alone understood
understand what they
meant he was however a very God-fearing
individual on all matters and at all
times he would quote the same phrase in
the Holy
tongue now I don't know what the phrase
is cuz here it's written in English but
Blessed Be he may he be blessed forever
so
probably his wife too would always say
in Yiddish prais be His holy
name that day in accordance with the
age-old custom of meditating in solitude
for some time on one's
birthday still accustom these days the
BMV went off by himself to the fields he
recited chapters of Psalms and engaged
in a
unifying in unifying the Divine names
that emanate from its holy
verses as I was immersed in this the B
related and unaware of my surroundings I
suddenly saw Elijah the prophet there
was a smile on his lips I was taken
aback for when I had been with thead
mayor and also when I had been in the
company of the Hidden sadim I had
merited to see Elijah but this was the
first time that I had merited his
appearance while I was alone I wondered
about it and besides why was he smiling
Elijah said to me you are toiling so
mightily to have the proper mystical
intentions and bringing about the
superal unions of the Divine names that
emanate from the verses of Psalms and
Ain scha the inkeeper and his wife SL
Rifka know nothing of the unifications
that result from when he
says and from her praised be His holy
name whatever it was I don't I don't
know exactly the phrases that that they
said yet the Divine harmonies they
create resonate in all the heavens more
than all the unifications of the Holy
Name that are affected by the mystical
intentions of the greatest
sadik Elijah described to me continued
the the great pleasure as it were that
results in Heavens from the words of
praise and adoration uttered by men
women and children especially so when
they come from the mouths of simple folk
and most especially when these Praises
are offered consistently for then these
people are constantly United with God in
pure faith and with an undivided heart
so simply by blessing God and thanking
God all throughout your
day you cause those
same superal unifications of the Divine
name that the greatest sadim who have
worked on themselves and refined
themselves according to the discipline
the the the the mystical principles of
Caba you cause that as
well
[Music]
W having recounted this episode RAB sh
dber added that it served as the basis
for his additional interpretation of
breath untainted by sin that it applies
not only to children but also to adults
who act with pure faith and heartfelt
Simplicity and who are thereby
constantly United with God at all times
and in all places the Reb stresses that
this applies equally to all equally the
Reb stresses that this applies equally
to adults only with respect to affecting
sual
unions with regard to maintaining the
world's existence however it is clear
from the above quoted teaching in the
Garra in shabis that this is
accomplished only by the breath of the
mouths of school children for this
breath possesses as well the first
quality of breath untainted by sin it
proceeds from those for whom sin is a
virtual
impossibility with regard to the
refinement of the world this is
accomplished by those adults to whom the
second exposition of breath untainted by
sin
applies that the breath itself is
untainted it's pure it's artless it's
real it's
sincere in a sense indeed their bre has
an even greater effect than the breath
of the MS of school children for as ra
de further explains children do not
relate to the corporeality of this world
but only to its atmosphere since adults
have a relationship with the
corporeality of this world as well the
sual unions that they
affect refine its very crassness and
corporality
so both
adults children have this in
adults have this with their
sincerity but it's specifically the
children who maintain the existence of
the world because they have the first
benefit of be of their breath is
untainted by sin because they're
incapable of sinning for an adult when
we say Breath untainted by sin we mean
that the breath itself what he's
saying what he's
learning what
he's doing
perhaps is
sincere but theab takes it a step
further saying that ultimately the adult
is more in touch with
materiality and even though we have that
relationship with what's
corporeal when we can
sincerely bless God we can sincerely say
words of
Torah and then we cause that that great
Unity above what it affects in this
world isn't just that isn't that the
world's isn't the world's maintained
existence like we said about the
children but it refines the very
crassness and corporality of this world
which as we were saying before is the
whole point how are you
[Music]
okay
