remember where we are
only 218 no i'm sorry no sorry no
no um
you said 218.
no no i think we finished one second
now we're on top but we we're up to the
kids around 2 20.
yeah yeah
kids let's refresh
comes from a sense how far we
are from god and how awesome hashem is
it's comparable to the realization
that the king is so wondrous and so
awesome
and so great that instills a feeling
of or of fear
himself when we meditate on hashem's
wondrous awesome great infinity
iris
we learned last time what
aspect of hashem enlivens the world
only a a glimpse of nomination
holy heider of of smite of his name
even the name of god is beyond
our reality it's only
the the the emanation and reflection
and glimpse coming from his name that
we spoke about the sanctity of hashems
and you know throughout the avenue we
always say
with
did you ever ask yourself what is what's
the difference between hashem
and his name you can't say they're the
same
if they're the same why have two words
for it
so siddha says they're not the same
there is
ainsof hashem god infinity
essence there is the name that's
a re a reflection of that of that
infinity
and then there is a glimpse
and an emanation from the name
okay you have the king you have the
king's name
and dictates and then you have the way
you and i
relate to those directives
and guess what sometimes we don't listen
sometimes we're not inspired you know
why because it's only a reflection
if it were if we were to feel moshe
that hashem's name the king's name is
live in our house
we would be very different but that's
not what hashem
gives us because it's too powerful and
also take away free will
hashem says my name you can just quote
you can just cite you can just think
about meditate on
but what you actually live with in your
life is hayden
yes yaakov i
should see him
needs to work needs to work to bring the
uk
buff game meaning that it's not there
without them without in other words
you're right with avoider
you can bring the essence into your life
but it was
naturally the way dave is to set up the
world this is a good question and a good
answer i believe
that the way the natural progression of
the world which we call the chassidis
the normal progressive manner is that
there
is um there is that we we
we work with
now through our void and through much
effort
you can experience also
and even
so when when we put on the beam on the
on the
hasn't stand the summit i don't
think that anyone is really thinking
about everything that we're learning you
know what i'm saying it's just
make god you're darving for hashem make
hashem be in front of you
what level of god what aspect we're not
going into that
let's continue aside for
says that this awesome hashem
is found here below as he is
in heaven
and when you when you realize that that
the hipster
is has it is found here if you just open
yourself up and find them your is great
all the time
through doing hashem's directives
through kabbalah
magdalena so what's the point of the
meditation of reflection
it's to it to broaden that experience
in other words kabbalah soil is where
it's at when you put film on yidd you
you invite someone and you give them to
eat
that's that's the essence now you want
to understand
why and how and when learn
reflect he says for yazbeen explains
hephresh who led this hamid mila the
alma
the difference between an emotional
response
coming from worldly matters to emotional
response will let the zamites
which is easier avi which is easier
alma when i feel
not hungry i feel better
when when when i i'm allowed into shoe
without green cards
i i feel better in other words the mila
the mila the alma the the experience
of worldly matters it it
it it talks to us emotionally now
in comparison to to godliness in other
words
with godly ideas with luchnius
am i an israeli am i a spiritual being
am i a spiritual being and that's
there's an emotional answer to this to
it and that takes
more work that's what that ever says
that
the that what we said in this paragraph
we
explained that the the the his-boniness
the meditation will lead to a creation
of an emitter of an emotion nevertheless
it's easier to be accomplished in the
gospel's world
than the ruthless world not that that
were exempt from that obligation
but he just made that comparison so
that's why in the kitchen he mentions it
now he has another point where
within the head is the primary
seat of making a difference for an
emotion
it's called the compartment
of focus and concentration
so true how peop their people are very
smart they're very bright
and their bottom line
you wouldn't you wouldn't ask them for
advice why not
why not because they're weak in the
element of das
thus is a compartment in the mind
not in the heart up here that
that's associated with focus and
concentration
right that's why what's the the the word
on the street
right who's a good rabbi not someone a
good ralph who knows the four parts of
he needs to have the fifth the fifth
helix
which is called common sense
okay you could know all the four khalifa
when it comes to giving bottom line
practical answer
no one's home or the answer is
ridiculous why because that's missing
does so that rabbit says here
you want to you want to develop you need
to develop
an emotion a healthy emotion
the icar the primary aspect of
mind that you need to work on and and
and
and sensitize and bring into your
reality
is the compartment of das
castro's mother look how he defines
das over here in this context
the connection to his root of
feeling and diligence what does that
mean
that means you need to feel something
to feel the pain to feel the love
how do you feel it you don't feel it by
just reviewing a hundred times the
gemara
you need to review the gemara 100 times
of course but that's to memorize and to
know
by by taking serious time of mental
thought of mental and in mental place
to focus on that that you want to
accomplish emotionally
yes
well the the the the way i'm positioning
it is
a bad concept the idea is not bad but
the way chabad has its
style of of developing is absolutely
talks about it the big thing
yes but different
ideas gosh an important idea but it's a
different idea
but what i want to add is yesterday my
wife and i were
talking shabbos something that i'm sure
all of you have spoken about to your
wives and you know people
it's a year later you know we really
have to make a hajj bananefish every one
of us
it's a year post the covet when
when this was the this was the heaviest
time i
i got the covet you know it it gimmel
listen that's when i
i went to shul i was there to name my
grand granddaughter
in a i didn't go to school they had an
outside minion and i named her over
there i came home i was feeling lousy
and
from there was two weeks of you know
serious
serious ill feelings anyway so it's a
year later
how many people can say they've really
changed
have we really changed all this yelling
you know with the green cards and the
blue cards and the yellow cards and the
masks
that that's not real change that's okay
you either
it's good it's no good we'll fight and
argue about it i'm talking about
real change real change
this is a question i don't know the
answer i'm just saying when you talk
about
making a change in an emotion in a media
it requires his castros
heritage vehicle it doesn't come
from just eating pizza and french fries
it doesn't and it doesn't come from just
learning it doesn't
even learn exitus it doesn't yes true
the famous word there's three things
that if you do enough of it it will be
accomplished
right one of them is if you learn enough
hasidis
you become more hasidic you become more
in tune with god
right but nevertheless we're talking
about anemias you know paneemias
you know just as an example are people
reverting at least out here and now it's
not just role reverting back to
extravagant hassanism by mitzvahs and
yeah those are able to you know there's
still
pressure so you should you know you make
the lights dark outside so no one knows
you have a thousand people inside and
it's dark outside
you know i went to a hall dropped off my
daughter it was dark outside it doesn't
look anyone's there
inside there's boro hashem and i'm not
saying it should be otherwise i'm not
i'm not i don't have the i'm not talking
politically i'm talking about
inside you know that if you knew how the
rebel was so
against spending leadership money on
extravagant
simchas you would be amazed i mean
that ever would people who wanted to
come see him that ever
told my father-in-law who at the time
was a successful businessman
and he can afford to come from australia
to
to new york to to to to be what they see
them and their heb and all that
and they ever basically told them no
unless he
you know um give the money to sadaka
this was in the 60s so then he hops so
what he did was that
next time that he wanted to come before
he wrote to the red before abraham
permission
what did he do he gave already the
tsudaka
the amount of the ticket from a of a
ticket
and then he wrote to the rapper i gave
this look
may i come and they never said yes
but i'm just i'm just saying you know
this wasn't this and this was consistent
you know it was consistent okay so you
could say the rebels from the old
country
and they didn't have what to eat and
they didn't have a you know dime to
their name it's not that
it's it's it's that it's that you know
a yiddish a dollar a yiddish a shekel is
holy
it is and if you can use it for kedusha
and for to feed someone and tuition
that's what should be
used instead of you know
we i had 600 people at in 1984 when i
married in melbourne which was
a lot of people for melbourne because my
in-law my father-in-law and and and
and and his father where the community
were were they like the founders of the
laboratory community
not like were the founders so everyone
knew them
and they were nice people and people
liked them and and then my father
had business here business contacts so
he made a big wedding
but you know how he made this wedding he
himself
he himself prepared for chickens
and not because he couldn't afford to
pay someone
because he rather and who didn't invite
mostly
besides you know people who
were broken and shattered
he wanted them at the simcha so i'm not
saying you shouldn't make a large simcha
but there are ways of
conserving and allocating the funds for
the for the for the needy versus for the
glamour
okay so when we talk about his cashless
hergesva has mother of developing
a media a real emotion
it requires concentration and focus
and otherwise it's not going to be
otherwise it's like the altered
says at the end of chapter three and
tanya it's diminished
you know that means in english fantasies
or in our school talk
there's no real change real change
so i think that you know as an aside
it's a year later aft after this covert
pandemic
and should be eradicated and should be
finished completely on maine
and he said to do little fish every
person
every person you know what change have i
made
with myself and my family my community
to to heighten hashem
you know and and that is the
the if that and if we accomplish that
then we've taken the negative pandemic
and we've transformed it and otherwise
it's
it's it's going back to just being the
way we are
and how can that be how can that be why
would hashem bring such a
you know that hashem brought the tahar
what is the alternative
in tehran with the mobile and hashem
brought the the marble to bring tahara
to the world
the tahara of the mikveh they must have
brought a pandemic to bring to hara i
don't understand
why and it's not my business but i'm
as a as a mayman as a believer i'm
convinced
that the world needed a tahara and we
got boy did we get at the hara right
so now don't don't waste this
and it should become a useless
experience there has to be something
positive that comes from this
this and i i would hope i would hope
that we all
you know in shoes
we all really take this seriously you
know i'm talking to myself i'm just
talking to myself
to to really take this in a way that
that's uh meaningful that's really
meaningful so when the rabbit says these
words
mother it triggered this thought let's
continue
this in chapter four prepaid
dollar 220. the matzah zootop shindal it
1944 of the fleet of cadet
this is the idea that developed the
development of the medici of love and
awe and fear believe in the heart
it's through comprehension of the mind
that he's born in this
and specifically with meditation
reflection
and now he adds the line value
it's specifically through das
you see only the the extinct ex
expression exclusive expression
pneumonia
meters it's the inner aspect of middles
the zoa says it's the key that
unlocks the six middles
six motion how are they really unlocked
through das so the zora calls them
masteco the key
the coalitions that includes the sixth
question of the president explained in
desire
gainer let me decide to feather so also
regarding the media of beauty of tafaris
compassion
if this is the happiness of the heart
but the ferris hashem
[Music]
recognizing the beauty of god
and the beauty of his his um
pride shabbos
how do we come to this determination
through meditation
beyonc be carved
by meditating on the preciousness and
the dearness
and the beauty of the great infinite
light of god
venice and desire has a special name for
this
list quote lista cola because
to gaze not just to look avi
but to gaze lista color
because in the preciousness in the
dearness
of the king.
a king in his beauty shall your eyes
see that is one of the reasons why
over the our history when when
nebuchadnezzar arrived but sadiq
and gets ill and doesn't look so nice
they tend not to show him to hide him
because amelia if you consider him a
melee
but it says beyo you know and
nebuchadnezzar not in a yup your
situation
some took from this verse like
not to show him you know and not only
exceeded this rabbi salvatrik was
you know had alzheimer's wasn't well
many years and
one family member son i believe you know
opted to
have him be out of public view i'm just
saying that
right wrong but that was that anyway
let's go further
the eyes the eyes represents wisdom
tell your daughters when they're ready
for shidduchim to look into the eyes of
the guy
i'm giving you the secret no cost
look at the eyes and when you see those
eyes
the term is whether they're a hakam or a
fool
valse
the king in his beauty your eyes
shall see the eyes
she asks your viewers by none bringing
it back to the top
at hand that you should come understand
and comprehend because on top of 221 the
malcolm
the dearness of the king so the rep is
interpreting here eyes not just
literally eyes
eyes meaning seeing how do you see if
you understand
you and you understand well it's like
you see it in front of you
sure he's burning this but do this in
yourself
which goes back to his point of the
meditation
on the greatness of hashem realizing
hashem is so awesome so great and so
wonderful
[Music]
hashem pervades all worlds number three
the slave of calal men
he encompasses all worlds
and when you meditate that there are so
many worlds and creatures
that have that are created by god
how multitude are your actions
the hame demon this includes the
inanimate
high the living madaba the speaking
species be awesome there's an awesome
amount
there's a moot
especially when you meditate on the up
on the creatures of the heaven
shaheem the heavens because of
an older host
not only how multitude are your actions
but how great are your actions hashem
shaheen ka daily and they are amongst
all creatures and creations
from the greatest of the christian
creatures
can you uh is going to talk about or can
you expand a little bit on that
i think he will write in i think let's
read a few more lines hold up
for example the constellations the
shemis and the sun
and the moon but they call them and the
stars
they're called the daily honey
basically it's a rambam the rambam says
at length you can look it up in the
rambam that
speaks about how they their orbits are
because
of their bittle to hashem so they're
called
the dailan ibrahim that's why in
beratious when it says hashem
is right he hung up the mahers the
illuminaries
he's talking about these things that's
why they're called godeli
there's a multitude of actions well they
can
that includes stones and pebbles and
blades of grass
and cows and all that but then there is
magoglu
the illuminaries who bring light to the
world
who bring vegeta who bring vegetation to
the world
they're called goggles let's continue
so he says included
in the godless is the heavenly
malachi angels by phanim three
three categories we have a fannin
three categories that we say every day
we talk about them
and they were all created with the
saying even the
the spirit of hashem's mouth his
when we meditate on the greatness of
these
creations it
and we understand them well and then you
think
then we realize hashem must be so much
more great
to create these great creation
creations
as it says ashram i am supreme the
heavens tell
void kale the glory of hashem
when you look and you understand the
heavens
and everything that the heavens are do
and
are it it brings more of an appreciation
the verse says they mistaken bishoya
we gaze at the heaven
[Music]
and we recognize the preciousness and
dearness of god so it's not just
looking up to the heaven it's gazing at
the heaven
meditating on the heaven what it
represents etc
and when you have that then you have
you caught the shed not
the dearness and preciousness of god
and he says that mr peter's the mistake
of ishmael what does it mean
what does it mean to days in heaven well
then
who created all this
the heavens relate the glory of god
mushroom this is similar to a mighty
person
he goes into our country right now
eating gurus no one knows about him
no one knows that he's a strong guy
there's one smart fellow shrewd fellow
omari says
yes he says um
of the stone of the stone that he
kind of rubs right
you know his strength kind of he can rub
he can he can rub a stone he's so strong
and kind of
make it less stone okay
so he says
so to the heavens mesopotamia they tell
a story about they tell
they denote hashem's glory in other
words
when you when you when you focus i'm
glad you asked a question hillary
when you understand more about shamayim
it's not just you know we have a moon we
have a sun but if you if you understand
it
astra astronomy you know and people who
spend time on this they they under they
have a
a greater a greater appreciation in a
way for arkansas
if they take it the right way because
they they
they they understand the galaxies
they're you know as much as humanly
possible they they study this field
so it's not you have to be an astronomer
it's for everyone i should mine this
apartment
for every one of us but the point being
the more you understand shamayim
motion the more you understand heaven
the more you can praise hashem let's
continue
um as he says
from the great creatures of the heaven
and all the hosts and says
we understand how great hashem the
creator who creates them
the zelda fight and this means the honor
and glory of god
uh we'll stop here because here starts
another concept and we'll continue
tomorrow
yes yeah i think there are two general
concepts
if i see this one goes on
[Music]
and on correctly during the week
how the variations of the creation how
many different
types of creation there are but on
shabbos when we say usually
what are the depths of your creation all
the
within it so this is kind of two
different meditations both on the
greatness
and you and and and one is specific to
the weak there one is specific to
shabbos that's what that's you're saying
yes
yes yes absolutely it doesn't see this
okay have a great day and uh we should
only have some christy everyone tomorrow
bye bye have a good day
thank you bye bye
