Parshas Re'eh: The Kabbalistic Letters Written on the Forehead

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay i again have shout outs to our voice as we prepare for parashat we have out of this world material today um speaks about the mitzvah of siddhaka the passage says you will surely open up your hand to him and extend him alone and provide him what he's missing okay so this refers to the mitzvah of tsudaka rabbi sai we want to welcome all the torah anytime viewers and those listening on j root so the tarot tells us about the greatness of the mitzvah of tsudaka in fact the gemara says in bhavavastra rabbi al-azhar yahiv where the lazar would give a coin to a poor man and then he would pray amar he said the past success mentioning the concept of giving charity before prayer to receive god's face with charity question is what is the union of giving tadaka before you pray i understand you want to go in on a good note you want to have zakhus with you so you could do any mitzvah i mean put on your talos and pray put on your twin and pray why daft tsudaka there's so many mitzvahs that you could do learn torah tamitar can i get coulomb what's the indian of giving tsudakka before you pray also there's a concept it's mentioned in tehillim paraka feud allah glory and majesty are his acts that said and his righteousness stands for [Applause] his righteousness stands forever so the question is his sadaka lasts forever of course it lasts forever every mitzvah lasts forever doesn't it what is the unique facet of tsudaka that we say tzedakah so today's sheer is based on an incredible concept which is found in the writings of arizona and it's mentioned with different nuances and different twists and different versions but the arizal says that rizal told me kikola mitsuo is that alludes to each mitzvah in other words the letter alef alludes to one mitzvah the letter b is alludes to another gimbal another and so on and so forth uh that letter illuminates now it doesn't exactly say we're the the letter illuminates but there's a letter that corresponds to each midsole when you do that mitzvah that letter lights up now it and it lights up on that day uh illuminates the whole week that's the secret of it obviously if you do a mitzvah last forever but in terms of how long does a letter that corresponds to the mitzvah illuminate for if it's a regular mitzvah it only illuminates for a day if it's tsudaka it's the whole week avocados other mitzvos will not be revealed on a different day meaning rack up meaning if you do another mitzvah if you do fill in it will only illuminate that they will not illuminate on another day rakim asa is a mitzvah if you do another mitzvah so now he says something very interesting other mithsis will only illuminate that day but if you do another mitzvah then it illuminates with it also meaning if you do a second mitzvah it sounds like it wakes up the first mitzvah so obviously these are things where do they illuminate why do they illuminate for a day why does seduct illuminate for a week but we're gonna we're gonna discuss one thing first there's a lot of material in many levels there are a million levels of light also how much it illuminates i don't know i'm only giving what it says it says don't ask me what about this what about that this is what it says okay you should know so now i want to talk about the following the magadam khadashem discusses this first of all how many mitzvahs are there there are a lot of mitzvos out there they're 248 mitzvahs yeah so what do you mean every mitzvah has a letter what do you mean there's only 22 letters and they're 248 missiles so how does that work out so you have to say there are many different versions of the letter a picabala there are different ways of writing a noise so maybe even though e choice represents another mitzvah but there are different ways of writing noise therefore a letter could include more than one ice so let's get a little bit more information on this first of all um what does it mean it illuminates the whole week the does it mamish mean the whole week or only up to shabbos maybe shabbos it doesn't illuminate also rabbi said where does it illuminate so we're about to learn something incredible that on everybody's forehead there are oysters of the torah and depending on which mitzvah you do that letter would illuminate so if you would go to a big tadic he could look at your forehead and tell you what mitzvah you did or didn't do or what aveiro you did or didn't do now we don't do that anymore we don't practice this anymore nobody really knows it but no that we don't do it anymore the radioactive pillow says stay away from people who uh claim they know how to do this it's not it's not known anymore but it's a reality it it exists let's let's read a little bit about it the um in the safer negative he says one time that rizal told me that he saw on my forehead three letters alif baze and an upside down gimbal and i asked what's you know what's up with the gimbal what happened to the gimbal and that rizal said i need to do hasa to my father so av gimmel i need to be going to my father but i didn't therefore the letters aleph days were illuminated and the gimbal was upside down okay so what's this talking about says to say for nightmare savannah yeah that rizzo told me all the mitzvos that a person do does is inscribed on his forehead and each mitzvah is imprinted in the illumination of one of the 22 letters of the aleph base and the letter designated for that mitzvah and when a person does a certain mitzvah then that mitzvah illuminates on his forehead and if he da'a submits if you do a different mitzvah then that letter illuminates azmah and what now the question is when i do the second mitzvah what happens to the first letter the mitzvot the illumination of the first letter stops then have last but found him and it gets absorbed in the face okay so basically the way it goes is it's one out of a one at a time only one letter at a time could illuminate the zehub that the illumination of tsunaka it does not it's not mystalic immediately like other oysters so the other mitzvahs but it illuminates on the on the on the forehead the entire week and that is the secret of the pasta vitsid not like other ice that get absorbed by the face immediately it's a little bit of a steroid here because first he says that other mitzvahs they illuminate until another mitzvah comes along and then he says other mitzvahs the mitsu gets absorbed um immediately now very interesting the letters that are that are shown on the forehead are the 22 letters of nephesh now if somebody only has a nephesh the letters on the forehead are small if a person has a higher madriga of ruach then they have middle sized letters if they have an ashama you have a no you have 66 letters and they're big now if you have on your forehead a word with two letters one after another like i am then only one of the letters illuminate at a time so let's get what we got so far first of all there's a concept that there are letters on a person's face and when you do a mitzvah the letters illuminate now it seems like the irregular midsole only allows a letter to illuminate either for that day or it immediately dissipates or somehow by doing the second mitzvah the elimination of the first mitzvah gets absorbed and somehow the mitzvah of allows the face to illuminate the entire week now let's discuss that inion that it illuminates the entire week when we say it illuminates the whole week does it mean the whole week or does it stop on shah does it rest on shabbos say why would it rest on chavez well the is mahmoud it's a title lamb he wrote besides the swarm on humish he wrote on and i will sit and i will see an emptiness there is one and there is not two there is a son without a brother basically in baby which basically he says that every mitzvah person does the letter illuminates on his forehead until you do another mitzvah and then the first illumination goes but sadaka that a person does illuminates on the forehead the whole week and if you do another mitzvah then the they both illuminate and that's the meaning of tsukasa well says the islamists according to this we know there is no jew that doesn't have a letter on his forehead why because even the sinners of the jewish people are full of mitzvas like a rimon and as soon as they do the mitzvah that letter illuminates on them and it's not removed until you do another mitzvah that means every jew has a letter inscribed on them this is the meaning when we say this is the ice between me and you so we say i understand we'll interpret it as sign but literally is a letter what do you mean shabbos is the ice the answer is a certain ice that represents shabbos and it's literally the ice that's between us and god there's a letter illuminated on our foreheads the only way to have two letters on your forehead is with sadaka because every other midsole when you do the next one it disappears tadaka is the only ice that could be compatible with another mitzvah this is what it means vishaftiyani i sat i dwelled and i thought yes there is one letter that's always tamid yesh the ainshini there's always an ice but there's never a second ice why is there never a second ice because the new mitsu replaces the first mitzvah because you're not doing sadaka gambin there's no son or brother that could be with samson it is foolishness if you don't do tsudaka basically the is reading into the sukkim of the hevel it is meaning the emptiness it is of not doing tsunaka because if one does not do tadaka they're sort of capping the letters that illuminate their forehead at one and with this he explains the plastic of brachaise larosh sadiq because the letter that illuminates the forehead is certainly a bracha for one's head and therefore if somebody is able to capitalize on the mitzvah of sadaka then they're able not only to have one letter but they're able to have two letters so the question is what do we see from here he says the washington is it's nimshaq remember look at the arizal darizal said it's tayer call hashevua the way the isla maisha says it is the lesson that he uses is it's let's take a look at another um he's on the pod going on the passage the r pine he says he brings down the arizal that the mitzvah of sadaqa is nirsham on a person's forehead and illuminates on his face throughout the week and it's its light is not pushed away before any other mitzvah but another mitzvah when the light is pushed away from the second mitzvah it leaves he says which is the light of the face of the king meaning that selam allah came why through the light of the salamela kim since the light of tsudaka constantly illuminates the face now in so far what we learned um from the arizona kodesh is that basically tzedakah lights up the whole week and a mitzvah's light is temporarily we don't know we don't know if it continues to um shabbos where it only extends the image now in the safer halikuttem which is also from vital and this is what we want to discuss the so far the what that result says in the shower dishes the light of the mitzvah stays until you do another mitzvah in the safer halikutim he says a little bit differently he says [Applause] it immediately disappears the nib if name and is absorbed in the face but if you do tsudaka that ice is mayor the whole week so here he's saying it a little differently than he said in the shower says it stays until you do another mitzvah meaning in the shower he says it illuminates the whole day look at the shahrukh khakid he says um [Music] it appears illuminated meaning it sounds like that the mitsu illuminates the whole day here in the save ali khuttum he says a little differently that the light illuminates immediately excuse me it dissipates immediately it's mestalic the nivla bethlehem so by the way in the berkeley safe of the d he seems like it illuminates the whole day so it's a little bit of a sirah does it disappear immediately or does it stay the whole day so in the safer priets also from the town he may offer us an approach that answers this question he says she says it lasts the whole day and the save ali kutima it says it's removed immediately the answer is it all depends it lasts the whole day if you don't do any other mit stuff you don't do any other mitzvah the lifespan of the light of a letter is a one day life span however or there's also a salad there's also a light cap the light cap is you can only have one light on at a time so either it stays the whole day but if you do another mitzvah then it's mestalic immediately and it gets absorbed in the face so maybe the pre-israelim is being uh natari it's the steroid between the shahrukh khaka dish and the several so let's say you're walking down the street and somebody stops you by the way i have a steer for you and i was wondering in the safer shahrukh khaki dash that result says that the light stays the whole day and in the safe harley quitting it says that it dissipates immediately you say no you missed the pre-exim so the priests there's one of our abundant if you write if you do another mitzvah it leaves immediately if you don't then the life span is one day by the way in the outcome ruvaini yaakov also brings down the uh the same version of the priyatskayam that darrisau said every mitsu has one of the 22 letters of owl phase that correspond to it so when you do a mid-swa it illuminates on that on your forehead but tsudaka does not get removed okay rabbi yeah i knew you would like that fine look at number 15. when we say if you do a second mitzvah the first mitzvah disappears does it only disappear if you've completed the first mitzvah what if i'm still doing the first mitzvah does even then the light go off for example i'm wearing talus i put on my talents it's still on me and i start dabbing so do i have two light ups now talus and fila or no even though i'm still doing the talus the talus go the light goes out because i'm doing a second mitzvah okay it's still on you you can only have one light on at a time is that is but is it but if the way it goes out is by doing the second mitzvah but could it go out if i'm still doing the first missile or do we say if i'm still doing the first mitzvah the first midsole light is on and the second light doesn't go on at all maybe it doesn't go on yet that's the shuttle of the magod of number 15. when we say if you do a second mitzvah the first the light of the first mitzvah goes out is it only if the first missile is complete what if i'm still being issac in it maybe if i'm still doing oxygen then two lights are on or maybe no two lights can never be on at a time if your sheets are out of sorts yeah that story doesn't exactly no so it could be like this these are they're two different things one is lights lights only one at time then there's other things what's written on the forehead could be it was written on the four out of base and upside down maybe that's a different zach you know what i can't tell you okay so i can only tell you what i could tell you there's an amazing thing from the igor the perka igor the pirko is from the banane saskar the coyote did not sponsor this year but the igor of the parka wrote a safer amazing safer and he explains the pasta with hashem a prayer of the poor man when he wraps himself and his prayers poured out before god so the igor the pirk explains in the following way everybody knows santa rizal that the first mitzvah a person does a day is written on his forehead and then when you do a second mitzvah the first mitzvah is absorbed that's the shot why hazal say to give to dhaka before davening why tsudakka put on talus put on phil in do anything the answer is when you go and stand before the banished you want to have good you want to have a good good thing going you want to have a mitzvah on your record you want that mitzvah to be illuminating now if you're going to do a different mitzvah then when it comes to do to get to daven the for light of the first myth is going to go off and you're going to be standing for hashem only with fila and then someone's going to say who are you i don't know who you are you're you're just dabbing what do you have on your record am i going to say this guy is dark eye he doesn't have any lights on so what does the guy do what the guy does is he gives to dhaka he gives tadaka the first light always stays on first i said so every time you go before the imagine you always come in with a light on and that's an eight so it's a tremendous it's a and that explains why hidalgo gave sudah dance is the only mitzvah that you could keep on while you have the light on of tefillah says god that's what the gemara says because people are people say that rizal says that's the kabbalah but the gemara you give to the ani before ah now here's like this when you come to davin which is a mistake of then the original missiles can get absorbed and then you say who's this guy who's this guy think he is and we were worried about ketrogen but nash in the midst of sadaqah remains on the forehead so the all the makata give him they keep their mouth closed they say this guy is you know he has bright lights on his forehead ah says the igor de percha now i understand shadow in the pasta gun tehillah emperor cuff face here's the problem when an honey comes to daven before god he's up the creek without a paddle why because he has no money so you can't get tsudaka the only house he has is chiato if his talus the problem is the light of the talis goes out as soon as he starts dominating so the only some big trouble he says all the honey has is the tallest but the problem is that coin diaries although i went out hashem you know the inner recesses of my heart you be macabre might feel uh without an em sorry who are we worried about hashem will never be macadrich it's him so that's the prayer of the poor man kia if get out of here i want to pour out my prayers only before god because god sees my plight and he sees that i have no it's a the lights on my forehead are all out the lights are loud i need you and therefore dubbed ads the host of limerich okay so an amazing shot in the process comes what do we see from here wait a second why does the light of the tallest go out he's still wearing the talus is araya from igor the perka that the aside of the ariza that the light of the first mitzvah goes out when you do the second missile applies even if you're still being isik in the first missile very interesting can only have one light on time sephora tsunaka now there's a commentary on the eager the prick are called igorduzzi who has the following question he asked the other way around he asks that why did the light of why did the first mitzvah disappear or the midst of talus disappear he's not finished davening yet so if he's not finished dominating yet the light of filo didn't go on so the light of tefilo didn't go on why does the first light go away lmi when you begin to do the mitzvah of tv in other words when does the second light come on you would say when you're finished so but he's not finished dominating yet so then the light of talos should go it should stay on lmi the light of tefila comes on immediately so light comes on immediately so then what's the guy's problem he has a light on so the khadashim says i granted the light of fila goes on but the question is they might say we don't know who you are who are you to turn on the light at fila so in order to have some kind of id you give sadaka tsudak is the only light that's compatible to another mitzvah okay let's talk about another onion here how long does the light of stucco last for well we're not sure so the lotion of the ari and number four mitzvah satsuda it illuminates the entire week sucker once a week i mean what are you doing if you give it on monday you don't have to give it up i mean that's a good cash challenge the pair go cointen why did he have to give to duck every day you just do it one time should have saved money you know you could have saved over less a lot of money get stronger okay it probably does it probably does get stronger than a lot of chocolates right no only one light at a time no it's stucco state how do we have don't like it maybe half thousand people say mcqueen which is walking with you to store a little people should leave what it does is not only what you said a thousand times no the shot is the light gets absorbed in the face that's what he said ah but if you look in the igu of the pyrika he doesn't say the light is only for a week he says no no that's not the point oh beyond the weak he says he says where does let's see if we can find it it's uh it didn't make it on the sheath but the lash of the perk is it's um ah so the question is why does he say that that's not what that result says so does he mean loved after does he mean only the weak or does he really mean so the safer mughal mahadasha points out that there are many kabbalistic sources um that in fact not only does the light of stukka a weekly light but it actually lasts forever because if you look in the miktash melech on the zaya from of shalom bazaaglu on passages by egash he says okay once we're on the subject which letter lights up when you give to dhaka what do you guess how would you know and get how would you guess that so yes moisture says it's the letter saudi where does he say that we have michael balum here there they're on the ball the mice and the safer bruce avraham of rabbi yosef moshe shapiro he says on the passage he says based on this concept that when you do tsudaka the light lasts at least for a week now tsudaka is called taive when you do tadaka the letter tess illuminates the letter tests he says that's the letter tess this is what it means to taiva but okay and if we know if the letter test is illuminated then we know the person was involved in the midst of tsudaka and by doing so we're muftakh sheikh habits the future okay one interesting over here so so far let's uh let's sum it up when you do a mitzvah you get a light when um that light is temporary in some sources of the reason it says it dissipates immediately in other places it says it stays the whole day we try to answer that if you do another mitzvah it dissipates immediately if you don't do another mitzvah then it will stay through the day but it doesn't stay beyond the day and it's not compatible with another light except for the mitzvah of tsudaka we weren't sure if it lasts on shabbos and we're not sure if tanaka is a weekly stay or it stays forever let's talk about another onion and let's say foreign so this is the first time that anyone's quoting the ariza that arizona said it lasts forever all we saw so far is that igor the pyrrhica says it's forever and the mikdash mellah this is sort of a quote of that the arie himself says it lasts forever i ain't in the safer nyam of revelator horowitz he throws in a new wrench that because the light is only lefisha and sadaka is our zaman rav so you know we had according to that he said a week others quote him forever so there's like an in-between sheeta how long does it last a long time okay another another twist over here there's a safer yasoid yosef from rabbi yosef yuska he quotes that read that he told his talmidim that all the mitzvos a person does are nirmals on his forehead and each mitzvah corresponds to another letter of the allophase you ready for this if you do a letter if you do a mitzvah it's nirsham with one ice if you do another mitzvah that's connected to that ice then the aura of that mitzvah is never and the second mitzvah sparkles absolutely no i don't know that you know they have the same letter but listen carefully to what he's saying he's saying that the only time it's like this if you want the letter to shine you got to do it twice so the first time you do it it's there but you can't see it the second time you do it the first hara goes on the inside and the second one shines forth however that's by other mitzvos but by the midst of tsunaka it doesn't get absorbed like other oysters but it shines on his forehead and finally rabbi said one last version of this is the safer kava yoshar of smoke he brings in that if you do a mitzvah the mitzvah is written on the forehead with one of the 22 letters of allah phase and it will shine on your face when you do it a second time but by the midst of tsudaka it doesn't get absorbed meaning a little bit differently than the safer you saw yosef the soyuz is saying that the first time you do a mitzvah it's nirsham and if you do a similar mitzvah then the first resume goes away the kava yashar is saying in order to get a mitzvah to shine on your face you got to repeat it two times the bottom line rabbi sai is all above and beyond our pay grade but one should understand that the mithsos a person does not only affects their neshama but great people were able to see on a person's face the performance of the mitzvah that actually something transpires to the the face of a person when they do a mitzvah and there's a great aspect and dimension to the midst of tsudaka that that illumination is much more permanent whether it's a week a long time or forever and that's the concept of giving sadaqa before you davin you know it's interesting even if you don't do it before you start dabbing many people do it by rakhdavid or so so on and so forth or even if you give it at a later point in davaning or if they go around by hazard is still the end of schweinsteiger so you could still get in tsudaka before some level of trila or even if not even if you do by ashrae you get it in before the violets the kaddish at the end of a volatility of tisca and there is some kind of indian of even nothing to do with what we said today just the gemara says that rabbi lazar would give zudaka before he would daven and this way he would be able to bring his fila in bitstaka so ibanesham should grant us all a lot of illumination on our faces we should be zorkheads all the mitzvos and mitsubs you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
