We are right now in the best period in
the year to remove any barriers, any
blockages, anything that is stopping you
from moving to the next level. Anything
that is stopping and abundance from
coming to you. This week is the best
period of the year to remove all these
barriers. DKA this week. So if something
is stuck in your
life, listen up. Listen and pay
attention. Now what does it mean
something stuck in your life? A person
battles one year, two years, 5 years, no
panas. And I hear like that 50 a day.
Trying here, trying there, doesn't
matter what happens. Can make ends meet,
can make money, struggling with palnasa,
money problems. This is one one way how
you kind of stuck in life. And I'm not
talking about a week or two. It's a
years or a long period. And it's not
only the finance. Can be
schwamite. It can be a couple that is
struggling with their relationship and
over and doesn't matter what they're
trying. They're trying counseling.
They're trying this, they're trying
that. And and and it's sitting them like
a like a burden. And that can be any
different thing. Can be a disease that
you're battling shalom, a sickness, a
weakness, all sorts of issues. Can be an
annoying family member. It doesn't
matter. It's anything that is making
your life feel that you're stuck, that
you can't continue or can't jump over
that little
challenge that is just in the physical
realm. But what about the spiritual
challenges that you have? A lot of
people they they put all their time to
the focus on their physical challenges
that they have. Trying to get money,
trying to find their other half, trying
to make ends meet. What about your
spiritual challenges that you have a
that is driving you crazy that is not
letting you grow? How many times is a
certain individual that says I I want to
I want to go to the next level. Every
day he tells himself at night tomorrow
I'm going to wake up to go and pray in
the minyan and he wakes up the next day
at 11 and every day 11 and then the next
day one and you have a struggle that can
put a lot of pressure on an individual.
Why can't I get my my my act together?
I'm trying to do something holy.
Sometimes when you're trying to go
forward in your spiritual life, you feel
there's a there's a block and you and
you're
struggling. So the sad reality that
everybody is dealing with these
challenges, everybody has these these
barriers that are stopping them from
going to the next level. Physical,
spiritual,
both. Now of course comes the big
question. What causes that?
What causes issues in your life, they
will stop you from moving to the next
level? I mean, when you're dealing with
the issue, you might ask yourself,
Hashem, what do you want from me? Or you
ask yourself, what am I doing wrong?
When something doesn't go well in my
life or doesn't go smooth as I would
expect, there's questions right away. Is
it the right path? Maybe I'm on the
wrong path. Maybe the wrong attitude.
Why is it not working? Not working.
once, twice, three times. Okay, there'll
be attempts to make it work. But after a
while, something doesn't work. Right
away, let's look let's look at the
system. Maybe I'm doing something wrong
here. So, the fact is that everybody has
the these
issues. There's another big issue on top
of that. When a person doesn't realize
that he has all these issues, that's not
what we're talking about. That's a very
far away individual.
We're we're in the level that we we
already aware of what's going
on. So what is causing these blockages,
these barriers in my life that are
stopping me from moving to the next
level? So the answer is short. It's my
behavior. That's it. It's my behavior
and a a large amount of it is my
attitude. But really the most of it it's
my behavior. I bring on me how I conduct
myself and how I behave, how I I pull on
myself the energy that I project
out. So today I want to
explain what causes that. Now when you
know what causes that then obviously you
know how to bypass
that. So we are in a very very powerful
week.
Uh today, this week is the fifth week of
the spir the
of we know by our holy books and the
holy text that the heavens are open in
this week the
sham it actually says whatever you ask
now this week you get it the heavens are
open for prayer specifically this week
we already started the week it started
on the 14th of on Monday on Pes but we
have till Sunday. So I'll explain
that
hod, the spir of hod is considered one
of the hardest
spir if you reverse the letters if you
read it backwards it's red
dava dava means sitting in pain that
you're si suffering from pain that
that's the what it means which
means that the intensity of the energy
of hod is to bring the strongest of all
judgments. So now I will ask myself a
question. So how the holy books and all
the holy teaching is telling us that
dapka the week of hud the fifth week of
the is the best week. You just tell me
shortly that the of is known to be the
harshest dime
are attracted to the spir of hood. So
how can you tell me this is the best
week in the
week in a in in in a level that the
shamim are open the heavens are open. So
it's very very
simple the sp of when it's coming in a
negative way it's you read it uh from
left to right it's read da which means
suffering which means uh pain and so
forth. But if you do a tikun, if you do
a rectification, so then you read it
from right to left and it becomes and h
is glory. And not only that, the Torah
comes and tells you that if you do it
the right, then you reach
to and splendor too. So the beginning is
negative like everything in this world.
The world was
created. First was darkness, then came
the light. And it's like that in
everything in the Torah. First comes the
dark darkness, then comes the light. So
first comes the bitterness of the spir
of hood, which is pain and suffering.
And we can relate with pain and
suffering each and every one of us in
their level. But if you conduct yourself
the right way, which is called the
tikun, you're fixing something, you're
doing a rectification, then the energy
goes to a different direction, then it
goes from right to left and that's h and
then you receive h glory and and and
splendor. So it's important to
understand the spiritual structure
before we come to the physical reaction.
There is a part from the it's called I'm
sure you're familiar with it read it
every day other they read it once a week
it doesn't really matter but the is
referring there for the corresponding to
body parts
so is the right hand is the left hand
and is the body then you have is the
right leg and is the left leg and is the
the center of the body or the the
the male and female organ but it's
considering the center of the
body is the left leg and if you remember
when Jacob was fighting the sitra the
sam basically this is not just a
physical bar fight that they were
exchanging fists this is a a spiritual
fight in its root the fight between good
and evil. The fight between Yakov and
and the minister of Isa. This is a very
deep concept. But nevertheless, how did
the angel overpower Yakov? He quetched
him in his left leg. He went straight to
the left to the left leg where it's
sensitive where the denim when the
judgments are the harshest. Not for
nothing. He could have punched him in
his nose or the Torah could I don't know
what he bent his hand. Why did you tell
him the angel went to his left leg?
because the this was a spiritual fight
and the sme went straight to the sphere
of h with the din are attached in a very
severe way.
Now is not only dim judgments. It's
denim kashim hard judgments. Harsh
judgments. Hard
harsh.
Now what what is denim? We have to
understand a few concepts in order for
us to understand what's going on. The
translation of dinen is is judgment.
Dimm a plural judgments.
But the definition of denim is harsh
aspects of divine
judgment. That's the definition of
denim. And what it comes into play when
you sin, that's it. You sin, you pull on
yourself this energy. And this energy is
called judgment.
Dim. Now it's very important to
understand dean is not a punishment.
There is the concept in the Torah which
is explained clearly by my monities by
Rambam. There's good and bad and there's
the there's a reward and punishment. You
do good, you get a reward. You do bad,
you get punished. That's a whole
different thing. That's a
punishment. Dim is not punishment. It's
nothing to do with Hashem punishing you
or trying to be mean to you.
That's not in
Hashem's menu. You do a certain act and
you pull on yourself this judgment.
That's how it works. So judgment is not
a punishment. Rather, it's in Hebrew
it's
called the translation is corrective
measures. I do something wrong. I need
to be put back in my place.
I have said not once and not twice how
in the last 10, 20 years technology is
coming to teach us how to relate with
God. All the godly concepts are now
poured into
technology. Almost any car now new that
you buy, there's a system that if you
start going off the lane, it will push
you back to the lane. 5 years ago, 10
years ago, it only beeped. If you
remember now, it actually pushes you
back. That's the name. You go off the
path. What would be the result? If you
go off the lane, you you're going to go
through off the road
completely. Shalom. So, the system
pushes you back to the lane center. You
That's it.
That's a corrective measure. you do
something wrong, wh you're getting
pushed back. That's
it. The definition is realign you with
your spiritual
purpose. Have you asked yourself lately
if you are aligned with your spiritual
purpose? You didn't ask yourself
that. I know you didn't ask yourself
that. I ask myself that all the time.
Am I aligned with my spiritual purpose?
It doesn't mean if I'm successful or
not. It doesn't mean if it's hard or
easy. Am I just
aligned? 99% of people are not even
aligned with their own with their own
tikun. They're not even connected to the
path of their spiritual purpose. That's
most people. How do you see that? Total
confusion in most people. And the ones
that you see that there's no
confusion, I'm not talking about
spiritually in general, then either
they're lucky, either they're extremely
smart, or they're really aligned with
their purpose. And that's also a very
small amount of people. So let's focus
about us right now. When was the last
time you looked in the mirror and asked
yourself if you are on the path of your
purpose? Are you walking on the the
right path? Maybe you're wasting your
time here.
Maybe you are, maybe you're not. But the
fact is that Hashem won't allow you to
be off your
purpose. So what's going to happen when
you go off the the track and you're not
directed to your purpose? Then Hashem
will push you
back. That's these are the judgments. So
you could look at it as something very
negative. It is. But on the other hand,
it's a system that helps you
our
luck that this week and especially on
Thursday night
on is the highlight of the entire year.
First of all, you
know, the first significant thing that
happened is all the students of stopped
dying. That's when it stopped. But more
than
that is the peak of the year
of sweetening the judgments. Now one can
come and say what yamipur is not. Noipur
is atonement has nothing to do
with yamipur. You're getting atonement
for your sins. You're getting clean.
You're getting forgiveness.
It's a different department than denim.
Same thing with shad the day of
judgment. Yeah, but you're being
judged. So, and I'm not going to get
into that. Trust me, I I chew the
material and then I give it to you. It's
found
in that lagba is the time of I mean
there's many times of mukbim every
Friday night. By the way, that's the
reason why we do kouch.
Actually, besides the the the simple
explanation that we're thanking God for
creating the world and but spiritually
when you do kush on Friday night, you
sweetening judgments. That's the way we
do kush on Shabbat day or Shabbat night.
And there's also rules for that. Certain
hours of the day, you don't want to do
kdush. It's usually 6:00 to 7 in the
evening. It's quarter to 64,4 to 7
depends on the hour of the day. So
there's also rules with that. The right
thing is to do on red wine because dim
are red. You're sweetening the dim.
That's why we add a little bit of water
to the cup of the kdush. But the fact is
not to get too much in off this the
subject. I believe there's even a class
on my website that I taught from the
about the concept of kdouch. But when we
do kdoo on Friday night, it's it's a
process of sweetening judgments. That's
it. And I, you know, now that I'm
thinking about I'm sure that there's a
the class I remember giving a class
explaining why the fingers have to be
up. I I remember that class
that's many times that you sweetening
judgments. But tops them all. Why? Maybe
we'll do another class about that. It's
because I'll explain in a second in a
very short version why. But it's
because so we're lucky because in a few
days you can get to a point that you
sweeten your judgments that you created
to
yourself. Now the fact is I told you lag
bom is the top but the entire week is a
powerful week. I explained last week I
loaded a class on YouTube. You should
see it even if you haven't because even
if it's about the class is about pes but
it's applicable all year round and it's
I also explain why this week is powerful
the short version of the explanation is
because pes has seven days after it and
all those seven days are holy it's and
after so is like the mirror of
so has seven days after that are
extremely holy then pes also has seven
days after that are extremely powerful
that's the simple explanation so we had
on Monday till Sunday you have seven
days of unbelievable opportunity which
and and is the top is the peak of
sweetening judgments so just know it
starts from the 14th of and it goes to
till this Sunday this Sunday at night
what happens in this week
the gates of heavens
open. Now, I'm not going to get into the
argument right now because a lot of
people argue when I say today is a very
aspicious day. And people come and say,
"Well, no, every day is not an aspicious
day." No, the answer is no. That's it. A
lot of people, but every day is a
special day. You're right. But there are
some days that the gili that the
revelation of Hashem is greater and
that's it. We don't we don't set the
tone. Hashem does that. Why he does
that? That's another whole three weeks
of a course. Why Hashem constantly
changes
his how he shines towards us. If he
would be one, it would be boring to
start with. But nevertheless, not to
sidetrack this
week. It's a time that Hashem is much
more receptive.
So that means that at every moment you
have to do three things. One of them is
called is to connect yourself to Hashem
through prayer, through Torah, through
acts of kindness, through fulfilling the
mitzvah. You have to connect yourself to
Hashem. Why? Because right now there's
no there's no filters, there's no
barriers. Next thing you need to do is
thank Hashem all the time. And I'm
talking about that you have to do all
your life, but this week
especially. And the last thing
is so you have is to get connected is to
thank and is to ask. That's it. Did I
say right? First you do is to get
connected. I told you how to then to
thank and then to ask. Some say thank.
I say
ask thank 99% ask 1%. For what you need.
You don't need to ask too much. I don't
like that approach. A lot of people
think they need to nag to Hashem. No, I
also have some a few kids. I tell them
since they're young, the more you ask,
the less you get. I don't need this.
Aba, aba sh I I heard the first time. So
with me it works that the more you ask
the less you will get. I heard it once
it's on my list. I will do it. That's
Hashem. You don't have to tell Hashem 50
times a day I need a husband. He knows
your marital start status and he knows
how much you want that husband or if you
need that husband right now. And I'm
looking at the ladies. It's the same
thing. Hashem knows you need paraza.
Hashem knows your your situation in your
bank account. He has access to all the
accounts. He knows what's going on in
your life. So nagging all day
long that doesn't going to get you
anything. You want thank pray do
anything. Why nag all for that? We have
three times a day that you pray. That's
when you ask
short. That's it. My prayers are
short. The the the preparation for the
prayer is long. I was like on pester
five hours of reading tim and also says
this for a five minute prayer next to
the kev that's it but how you bring
yourself to the to the place of prayer
not that I'm comparing myself in any way
to mob did his preparation when it came
to
the that's it
forward so in our life don't don't
bother hashem too much with nonsense
this week you want to get connected to
hashem
Thank Hashem in your way. You can read
Torah, whatever you want and to ask your
needs. Now, the thanking is
corresponding to this. But when you're
doing all that I just told you, you are
preparing your vessels. Really, what
you're doing
is you're fixing your vessels. But I'll
explain
that in depth in a second.
Why did I tell you before we have uh
we're in luck? Because like I told you
is
equal has the ability to reveal very
strong judgments. It has the
capacity now. But what's the
advantage? Very strong judgments that
can be transformed into mercy. So you're
taking something big and powerful and
strong, you utilize it the right way, it
will become
mercy. So that's our advantage because
if there would be little to transform
into mercy, then will be little mercy.
So you can kind of understand Hashem's
approach here. It will start with strong
denim which will come out as something
harsh and negative. But if you do your
tikun the right way that big huge ball
of dim will transform into that amount
of amount of mercy. So really we gaining
here now why would be that Thursday on
this Thursday is the top of the hamaka
because
is here is
on
and was able to to sweetening all the
judgments that's the quality
ofishimon now that we understand very
little what is dim.
Now we can understand learn in a very
short uh version the spiritual system
that I'm in that what's affecting me and
how it's running my
life
because I'm I'm in a spiritual
system
that it works in a way that I need to
get my shea my abundance from the world
above.
And this abundance is the blessing in my
life because I'm I live my life without
a blessing for for health. I'm weak,
sick and so forth. Without blessing for
my sustenance, I can't make money. So
everything that comes to me I we call it
a blessing. Not because see this is the
difference between English and Hebrew.
In English a blessing is when I bless
you. Okay?
In
Hebrew, yes, is equal to the word
blessing. But comes from the biblical
word in the
Mishna to bring something down to
below. That's the biblical
word. So when I
say, yeah, I bless you, but really when
I say, I bring something from above to
below, which of course is the godly
light that I bring into the world with
my blessing. That's why we
say Hashem. You can translate it as
blessed. You are a god. But really,
it's pulling you down into this world.
That's why we say I'm pulling pulling
you down. Whoa. You
who's our god. Who's this god? The king
of the entire world.
Every word has a meaning here. So when I
say I pull you Hashem into this world
the echo will be who's
hashem our god the king of the entire
world
right. So really the brah in my life
when you're saying I need in my life you
need the shea you need the energy your
life force to come clearly and easily
from the world above to the world below
on you are all blessed with unbelievable
abundance of health money whatever you
need the problem is it stays up there a
because you need three times a day to
pray to bring it down and if you're a
woman you also need to pray if you're
married your husband adds up the other
two prayers for you and if not woman is
obligated in two players prayers a day
and a woman is obligated in one prayer a
day and I'm talking
about and I know women somehow brush it
over their
head but you are just as obligated as me
and any other man I'm obligated three
times a day well commanded and you're
commanded once or twice to do
But nevertheless, that's how you bring
the shea. Every one of the 18 blessings,
I pull down whatever energy that is
directed to whatever
department. So I I pull energy for
healing. I pull energy for sustenance,
for that's why I don't need to tell
Hashem too much of what's going on. I
just need to do the act of bringing down
the shea. If you're doing everything
right, then the channel where this
abundance, this sheffa, this energy
comes down is clear. Like whether it's
plumbing piping or whether it's a
digital piping, if the piping is
clogged, if it's plumbing for water or
sewage, then the water won't go down
because the plumbing is clogged. If it's
anything else now also in technology if
the the the the where the how is it
called the bandwidth if the bandwidth of
the cable is not big enough then the
internet will start becoming slow it's
everything something's wrong with the
with the channel where you pass one
thing from one side to another then it
will slow things down that's it so
you're complaining that life is bad and
you can't make ends meet and this
doesn't work and that doesn't work.
You're complaining all day long. You
don't understand that you you are
causing the lack in your own life. Very
simple. So let's let's explain very
quickly how the whole system works.
Okay? And I will title this section
correcting and preparing your vessels
the right way.
is a rectification or to fix and is to
prepare and kale is your vessels. Now
there is a rule in the teachings of
Kabala. Pay attention. I'll do it short
but it's a little bit higher than
regular information. The rule in Cabala
is that the size of the light will be
determined by the size of the vessel.
Okay? Don't ask right now what's the
light. the light. Let's call it now the
Hashem's blessing because I can give you
a piece of paper this
big that in its size it's equal in its
how it looks it's equal in all its
qualities it's equal but what I write on
that piece of paper changes the value of
the piece of paper right and I'm talking
about a check so I can give you a a
present and I write a th000 so I gave
you a nice present $1,000 checkles
whatever Here it is. But if I write
another zero, I just gave you 10,000. So
my blessing, so to say, I it all depends
on one little zero. One little zero and
I gave you 10 times more the the the
blessing. So Hashem gives you a bunch of
blessings. You need to be able to hold
this blessing because if I give you now
a million dollar check, you now saying
I'm a I'm a millionaire. I have a
million dollar
check. If you don't have a bank
account, that check is worthless. You
need to have a bank account, a vessel to
collect the check in order to have the
funds
there. So the light that goes into the
vessel depends on the
vessel. If I have a car with three
seats, how many people can I take with
me? Three people. If I have a car with
10 seats, then I can take 10 people.
It's very simple simple
math. So the light will be determined by
the size of the vessel. That's the rule
you need to
remember serving God. I'm sure you heard
the
term. Many people will say, "Oh, aem is
doing and learning Torah and fulfilling
all the commandments." You're right.
You're not far from the truth.
But the
realm
is is to fix your that's
your course to is the way to do it path
to do it. It gives you all the
knowledge. But what is the definition of
your service to Hashem?
My fix your vessels and after you fix
it, prepare them. Prepare the vessels.
Why? because I
can if I have a vessel then I there's a
place where to put the abundance in the
blessing. I can come now with a bottle
of wine and offer you some wine here. If
you don't put a cup out, I'm not going
to give you the wine. And if I do, where
will the wine go? Straight on the floor.
Why would I spill good good expensive
wine on the floor? Why would you want
the wine to be on the floor? So, I'm
interested in giving you, but you don't
have a a
vessel. You need a
vessel. Somebody contacted me not too
long ago and told me, "I want to give
you a donation." Okay, thank you. How
can I give you a donation? Cash, check,
credit card, money wire. I gave you a
list of 20 things. He says, "Can I give
you a donation in Bitcoin?"
I said, "Well, happens to be that I
don't have a Bitcoin account, but I'll
open one so you can give me that
donation." So, I need a clip. He came to
give me some light. So, I need a click.
So, you have to open a digital wallet
now. So, you can get that donation or
that
payment. I don't need to explain. If
there's big vessels, what would be the
result? You're you're saying big
blessings, right? I knew you're going to
say
that. You all agree with her, right?
No, big vessels doesn't mean mean a lot
of
blessings. Because what happens if you
have a very big
vessel? No, no shine. Big vessel with no
light. What happens?
Not only that the vessel has no
lights, you empty the
light. So, is a big vessel
good? What is easier? Cleaning a
one-bedroom apartment or 16bedroom
mansion? Do you want a big vessel? Do
you want a 16-bedroom mansion that
you're not even using the that mansion?
Why do you need a big
vessel? You need a clean vessel. You
need a vessel that is not broken. You
don't need a big vessel per se. To
handle a big vessel, you need a lot of
light. Can you handle that light? Most
likely not. So, don't go after big
vessel. Big vessels are not always the
good thing because if there's a big
vessel with no light in it, there's a
problem. That's going to be a broken
vessel. This vessel will
break. Now, some problems with a lot of
people is that they have a vessel, they
don't fill it up with light, they don't
pray, they don't learn Torah, they don't
do mitzvot, they don't give charity,
they don't help, they don't nothing.
Somehow they have a big vessel, but no
light. There's a worse type of person
than that that he pushes the light out
of his own
vessel with, of course, with sins and
that would be severe
sins. Imagine you have a vessel, you
have light in it. You are pushing the
light
out. So first of all, and most
important, don't be impressed by the
size of the vessel. That's why I said
big vessels are not always good. Who can
handle a big vessel? A
sadik. Great Torah scholars because they
have that Torah to put in the vessel and
that's why they're able to go to much
higher levels. But we're not that
people. Be very careful with your
vessels. And like I told you and I'll
remind you the definition of your
service to Hashemat. Fix your vessels.
Clean your vessels. And I'll explain
clearly everything. Just bear with me.
We're almost
there. Now, what happens if you have a
vessel and there's no light there?
Because you sin, because you pushed the
light out because you didn't do any
action to pull light in. Then you have a
lack. There's a deficiency. It's
called something. There's a void.
There's a void now somewhere in the
universe because your
actions. Now if a
person has very big vessels but he
doesn't know how to fill them then that
becomes a broken vessel. Broken vessels
that's all the disasters. And again
we're not going to touch every
definition in Kabala. Just follow with
the
concept. Now the rule the rule is
judgments what I've been talking about
now will be not only pulled but easily
attached to a place of deficiency to a
place of lack to a place of nothing. Now
what does it mean easy to attach? Take
now a magnet, put it on a piece of
metal, it's attached. Put it now on a
piece of wood, falls on the floor. Put
it on stone, falls on the floor. Put it
on glass, falls on the floor. Put it on
any material, it falls on the floor. on
the
metal that's what happens to dine has
the nature to get stuck to where is a
place
of that I didn't do something there's a
lack there's a void there's an
emptiness so remember the the the the
rule the will be attached or will easily
be drawn into a place of that's why our
sages say us don't fall into depression
and sadness get yourself up because When
you're falling into depression and
sadness, that's one way of an empty
vessel and this
emptiness pulls the you have to
understand that the kipot get attached
on the because that's how they get
attached to you. So when I'm saying the
denim will be the drawn to you with the
with the and when I'm sad or broken then
I have a place of deficiency of a lack
then I invite it on me.
Now there's another
problem. A lot of people and that can
happen to observant people. They have a
big vessels. They learn a lot of Torah.
They do a lot of mitzvah. They're
working on their vessels. Their aodm is
very, very great. But at the same time,
they also do sins. They talk a little
bit. It's okay. It's only in front of
5,000 people. It's not that bad. And
they may be not so honest in business or
maybe they're not honest to their spouse
or they're doing something behind
somebody's back. Listen, I don't buy the
beards and the yam. I mean, it's very
nice,
[Music]
but looks inside your heart. You think
he's impressed by your you covering your
hair or you're wearing a dress. You know
how many frauds they are. I mean, purim
is every day in this world. So, there
are people that look outside very pious.
The inside is dirty as I don't know
what. And people on the outside look not
even connected to Hashem.
Pure, happy, loving, forgiving, patient,
courteous,
charitable. So don't judge the book by
its cover. I mean that's a long that's
behind us. So what I'm saying
is a lot of people are observant but
they have a weakness. That's by the way
everybody. Not I I am I'm being nice by
saying a lot. Everybody has a weakness.
You're not a sadic. Neither one here is
a sadic. You can pretend to me that
you're righteous. But I know that you're
not because I'm also not a
sadic. Some people say you're I'm not
even close to a sadic. I'm a human being
like you. Therefore, I know that you
have the same level of like me. So,
we're all in the same We're all in the
same
boat. We love Hashem. We're trying to do
good. But at the end of the day, we
don't get it 100% right. Now, some are
in a very high place cuz they don't let
themselves at least get dirty with
nonsense. But unfortunately, in our time
and probably all times, there are people
who are Torah observant, but they sin a
lot. A
lot. This is
called you're pulling the wrong light.
You have a huge vessel, but you're
pulling the wrong light into the vessel.
That's already a whole different
problem. Now, when a person does
something like that, basically you you
let me explain to you how that works
that you'll be more upset after hearing
this class. Every time that you pleasure
something in this
world, but not in the right
way, then that's pulling light in the
wrong way. And I'll give you an example.
The first mitzvah in the Torah is for me
to procreate with the with my wife. So
when I pleasure marital relations with
my
wife, go ahead, enjoy it as much as you
want. Do the mitzvah. The second you
enjoy it, not with your wife, same
pleasure. Wrong place where the kadusha
went
to. That's it.
Am I allowed to eat ice cream? Yeah.
There's no place in that tells me not to
eat ice cream on Shabbat. Eating the ice
cream is a mitzvah during the week. It's
not a mitzvah. And not only that, if I'm
not doing it the sham, then I enjoyed
the ice
cream in not in the right way. That will
also do the same thing but this big.
That's why our sages says don't try
don't enjoy much things in this world.
You're going to pay for that. There's
going to be a bill for that. If you
enjoy food, you enjoy you know whatever
you enjoy in this world. My loophole is
because you're not you're not advised to
enjoy things in this world. A it puts a
spiritual dirt on your soul that
eventually will have to be removed. It's
called means hitting. The soul goes down
to the grave. They hit the salt to get
all the junk out like they used to hit
rugs 100 years ago. My grandmother used
to do
that. But if you enjoy things that are
forbidden, then that's how you p bring
down the wrong light. That's
it. Now, what happens in a situation
like
this? It's hard to fathom, but it's
called the shape of the vessel changes
and then the light can't stay there
anymore. That's I'm cababalistically I'm
explaining what happens. So when you
pull the wrong light to the to your
vessel by enjoying something
forbiddingly or in a way that is not
permissible then the sh the the cle
shifts the the the shape and the light
doesn't fit there anymore. It's not like
water in a cup that hypothetically if
you would expand and narrow down the cup
the water will adjust itself.
That's just for us to understand. That's
not how it works in the spiritual. The
cle is one shape. You put you try to put
something in the cle that doesn't fit.
It won't fit. Like the game for 9 months
babies that you have a circle and a
square and a uh uh how do you call it? A
triangle and this and they have to put
it in the right. That's that's the same
idea with the kilim.
Now, now that you understand
that when I do these actions and the
light disappears, what what would be the
result? Now, there's a void. There's a
kalal there's an empty
space. So, one small moment of
pleasure causes this emptiness that goes
and grows and grows and grows.
And then eventually there's no real
joy. Most people they might be
pretending to be happy. Most people that
I meet, they don't have real true
happiness. Very few I look at them and I
see that doesn't matter how bad life is,
they don't need to smile. You see the
spark in the eye. That's it. Most
people, sorry to say that, are not happy
people. They're not happy with their
anything. Not with her spouse, not with
her financial situation, not with her
neighbors and that neighbor is more
successful and he has a BMW and she's
more beautiful and she has
that new bag and I don't have money to
pay my bills. Most people are miserable
and I gave you one example now in 30
seconds out of 5 million examples. Most
people are miserable. It starts with
jealousy and many other things. I don't
want to go off the path of what I'm
focusing on. But the fact is that a
little small moment of pleasure, it's
called pleasure of a moment, it will
bring you emptiness. And this emptiness
will just go and grow. And that's equal
no joy, no happiness, no true happiness
in your life.
Now let's go back to dim to
judgments. The definition of a judge of
judgments. I want to summarize that.
I'll say it in Hebrew then I'll try to
translate.
What is the
name? A grasp, a a hold of negative
energy, a negative force that is
preventing from the light to come into
your
vessel. I'll say it again.
The denim is a a negative force that is
holding on the vessel and the whatever
even could be the channel to the vessel
and preventing the light from coming
in. So I'll give you an
example. It happened to me a few years
ago that we you know we pay here the
city tax every two months. Arona we love
paying this tax. They do wonderful
things with our money.
Uh, I saw a brand new Mercedes next to
the city hall. They're investing our
money in very good things like
education, infrastructure, and much
more. Doing great with our money. But
nevertheless, doing nothing with our
money. Barely even taking the garbage
out. But anyways, we still pay a lot of
money every month.
Arona. But nevertheless, why am I saying
that? I have it on automatic payment.
One time credit card expired. It didn't
charge the card. Boom. didn't didn't
charge the monthly
payment. Whatever happens doesn't
matter. The I didn't know. Um a year or
two passed. They marked it as I didn't
pay one month. What did they
do? Blocked my account. Forget about the
interest. They put like a seize on the
account. I'm coming to use the account.
Your account is blocked. I go to the
bank. What do you mean the account is
blocked? Just money. Everything's fine.
They're telling me, "No, the city put a
How do you say seize?" How do you say uh
they seize your account, you can't do
nothing. They can put in the account,
can take out of the account. They they
choke you like this. And of course, I go
to the office. Why you block my account?
You didn't pay two years ago. You
couldn't call. Oh, we sent you letters.
Oh, yeah. Go and count now on the fat
mailing system. Haven't you heard about
an
email? Whatever it is, why am I saying
that? Is that some authorities in the
world in any company can seize your
account? Put the money on your account.
You can't do nothing. Nothing goes in.
Nothing goes
out. That's nothing goes in, nothing
goes out. The din is a is
is attached. I sinned with my hand right
now. the deen will go on my
hand then shalom it can come in a result
of physical pains and aches and whatever
infections and it will start manifesting
into the
body and many other ways but the deen is
a I I I shouldn't even say but it's like
a cancer it gets attached and doesn't
you know it doesn't let the light come
in so you can pray for your
parnas nothing dead no money coming in
why too much
judgments and I'm giving you example
with parasites with everything your
health your relationships with people
you like or don't like your place of
work your place of it's everything your
physical health your physical mood
everything is based on where how much
denim very
simple now that you know all the
definition let's go now to the Next step
in case you haven't
notice we are in
exile now we you ask somebody what's for
you exile so they'll say mashia is not
here we don't have beta mikdash we have
120 clowns running the show here and
we're in
exile some people will say I think Jews
who live anywhere but Israel they're in
a harder exile because they think
they're fine where they are and they
think they're good where they are and
they're
actually missing on so many different
things besides the fact that Rambam says
it's a mitzvah to live here. But
nevertheless, I think it's an a sort of
an exile when you're far away from your
own land. The reality is everything that
I just explained to you in the last
hour, that's exile. That's called galut.
You're not in your place. You're not in
the space where you need to
be. Now, we are in a very severe exile
right now. I'm not complaining. I'm
actually fine with that because it's the
moments before the birth of Mashiach. It
was predicted. It has to come. Nobody
promised us that it will be smooth.
Bring it on. Bring it on. I want
Mashiach to come. And I know it's going
to come with some turbulence. So, so put
your seat belts on and hold your seat
and that's it. and ignore everything
that's going on in the world and focused
on yodatem. That's what you need to do.
That's my entire that's my entire
recommendation for you to do. But
nevertheless, we are in an
exile and we have to understand a very
important point in the concept that is
called galuta exile and redemption. Now
I'm talking right now the the exile of
the entire world of the entire mankind.
The entire world is in exile. Jew,
non-Jews, we're all alike. When Mashiach
is going to come, he's going to be the
king of the entire world, not just of
the Jews. When Beta Mikdash is going to
be built, it's going to be for the
entire world, not just for the Jews.
Many things are going to change when
Mashiach is going to come. But till
then, we're in a very, very bad
place. Everything that I'm explaining to
you now, I'm talking about the exile
that we are experiencing in the world.
But later on just take the exact same
thing carbon copy and that's your
personal life your own personal
exile in the redemption. There are two
uh parts two
levels. The first is called
pekida and the second is
called pekida means to command to order.
Where did we hear the first time this
concept with
Yseph will be the day? I mean the
translation in the Torah it says surely
Hashem will remember you. I know where
they're coming up with all these
translations is to command but
nevertheless it will come the time of
the redemption. Hashem will command you
is also to come. Nevertheless, that's
the first time we heard it. So the first
level of the redemption
is the second one
is to remember. Now the first part
peeka Hashem gets attached to the nation
of Israel and he starts a certain action
of redemption a certain process
that's zak for this
explanation is when we actually go out
of exile that didn't happen yet but it
happens to certain individuals you know
that some people they already in the
level of I'm talking now here not here
in the room in in in our generation
there are some people that the raod is
in such a high level they're already in
the level of of they they don't live in
they don't see the
exile like the said 30 40 years ago open
your eyes the redemption you just need
to open your eyes so if you live your
life in a certain way you you're already
after the pikida and I know people like
that they live in the world they attach
to the world in any in all the ways but
they're living in a level of
gula very few but the the second level
of the redemption that's going out of
exile if the nation of Israel is ready
and receptive at the time of the
pa then everything will be fine
But if the nation of Israel is not ready
at the time of
pikida then we're starting with very
hard times and these hard times are
called Mashiach. You heard that term
many times like a woman giving
birth. I can't even imagine even though
I was present at seven births of my
children. I can't imagine the pain what
a woman is going through.
screaming in
their
that's if we're not ready for the change
that Hashem started the then starts hard
times and these hard times are defined
as Mashiach and these hard times
basically what it means a lot of
suffering a lot of problems as you can
well see in front of your
eyes so mash
equals
problems I don't need to elaborate
Right? You see it in front of your eyes.
And right now, by the way, I'm talking
globally. I'm talking about the gula,
the redemption, and the exile for the
entire world, for the entire mankind,
all as
one. So obviously the entire world is
under the same
umbrella. Now very important that you
understand these are not punishments.
What you see some of the things might be
a punishment. Hashem now is going to
close the accounts with every person,
every nation, every leader, everything.
Now, Hashem is paying the bills. So, a
lot of what you see is punishments for
other individuals and stuff like that.
But what I'm talking about Mashiach,
it's not a punishment, which means that
I can be a good individual. I sin this
much. I go by the book. I'm a good
fearing God-fearing Jew. Okay? I'm not
saying, but I'm a very good individual.
I can still
experience the difference will
be a thousand will fall for one side and
10,000 on the other side. Nothing will
go to you. 500 people will be in a
field. 3,000 crazy terrorists are
shooting at everybody. Some get killed,
some
don't. They were there. We're all
affected by Mashiach. The economy in the
world is bad. Some people are affected.
Some people are actually making money
now. I know a lot of people who are
making money now. When the markets go
down, that's where you make money. Do
you see what's going on with
gold? So, you know, every every line
that goes both directions, you can go
from above to below, but also from below
to above. Everything is two ways.
So right
now we have a lot of Mashiach and that's
its problems and like I told you this is
not punishments. So what's the purpose
of that? To prepare
us to align us back. Hashem wants to
bring the gura. Ask yourself every day
am I ready for Mashiach to come? Today
Mashiach is coming. Are you
ready? Ask yourself today Mashiach is
coming. The same way how we saw in the
last five
years, Corona suddenly takes off the
entire world. Wars October 7, every
every couple days a new surprise. What's
what's stopping the a big epic event
tomorrow Mashiach is coming? Are you
ready for that? You think you are you're
you're good to stand in front of
Mashiach? No. I'm already telling you
no. Very few people will be able to
stand next to Mashia. The dog says only
700 people will be able to stand next to
him in the beginning. So ask yourself
that question. The same way that we woke
up one day in the middle of our life 20
plus years ago with the falling of the
twin towers. You know, you tell it now
to a childh. It's a building that fell.
We I lived in New York. That was America
changed that. I remember that day so
well. I remember what I wore. I remember
what I ate. I remember where I was. I
remember so much that day I remember I
was with my friend told him you'll see
that's it. This is the day everything
has shifted and sure enough that's what
happened. So we already ready it's
already 20 years happening then we had
corona 5 years ago. Boom. Nobody
prepared for that. No one was prepared
for no one in their right mind was a
even thinking of something in that
measure and many others. So what's
stopping the next event from happening?
It will happen and it will happen a
lot. Is Hashem punishing me? No. So what
is all
these to prepare
you to align you back? Allah you're
completely off the off your
focus. Now everything that I'm telling
you now I'm talking about the general
redemption. We're going to center it to
your life. It's exactly the same thing
in your life.
Now the redemption can come in two
ways. One way is
called what does that
mean? You go out of your own kipa and
you live with the creator. That's it.
You break the kipa and you live devoted
to the master of the
universe. You know what happens when you
do
that for you? I'm talking now now it's
this is your life right now as uh uh man
kind as a human race listen we're trying
for 20 years to get a little bit of
appreciation and some tolerance between
two Jews bringing all them together only
Mashia will be able to do that trust me
we're trying for 20 years to do all
everything that we can me and many
others not so easy to get everybody to
like each other to appreciate each other
and that's going to cause big thing I'm
say it's going to cause but it's Hashem
is going to have to use big
big events for us to get that but when
it comes to my private life now ignore
now the
general galut exile let's look at my
life right now and I want to know if I'm
in exile I'm not in exile I'm preparing
for the redemption I'm
prepared if a person goes in the path of
Torah but the real path of
Torah he has no issues
He won't
feel you'll see bombs falling
everywhere. But you will be safe in
wherever you live. You're not going to
feel
that money will be fine. Health will be
great. Every your life will be fine.
Why? Because you walking with the
creator. The second way how to bring
forth the redemption. The first one I
told you is the path of Torah. The
second one is simple. It's one word.
That's it. Hardship, suffering. You're
going to suffer. That's it. If you don't
go in the path of the Torah, only can
break the kipah. That's
it. And that's going to come
through
hitting. Hashem tells you either you
break your own kipa. I know it's not
easy, but you do it and live with your
creator. I'm telling you, you won't be
affected by what's going on in the world
about Mashiach. And trust me, what
you're seeing up until now, it's not
even the not even the warm-up. I've been
saying that for years because I'm hoping
to build people's mind what they're
going to be able to fathom. If in mit
the sea split and the sky opened and
many other things, who says it's not
going to happen to us when Mashia comes?
It says in the Torah, what you saw going
out of it time is nothing compared to
what I'm going to show you when Mashiah
is going to come. So there for them the
sea split. What what are we going to
see? What are we going to see? Are you
going to be able to handle that? I'm not
talking about thou the exposure of all
the deception in the last 500 years that
people just by that are going to lose
their mind jump off buildings realizing
the lie they were told and lived all
their life. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about the revelation of of
Mashiach. I'm not talking about
revelation of
Hashem. We are expecting the the the
return of Hashem's
revelation. That's way beyond messiah.
So Hashem is preparing everybody. That's
why is not a punishment. It's to put you
back on your
path. So like I said, if you're walking
in the path of Torah, you have nothing
to worry about. But if you're not
walking in the path of Torah, the only
way to break the kipa, which is mean
means a husk, is to break it. Then
you're going to have to go through
hardship.
You're going to have a lot of problems.
Hashem is going to break you till you
get it. And a lot of times you say, "I
got it." A, you didn't. Or too late, my
friend. Oh, now you got it. Now, oh, for
20 years you didn't get. Now you got it.
When there's a little bit of pressure,
it doesn't work like that. Now, the
worst of all this, I know so many people
that that's what happens to them in
their life.
problems day after the other and instead
of doing chuva and strengthening
themselves they go completely against
they get they they get upset at Hashem
they they reject Hashem why is Hashem
doing this to me and they go completely
opposite there is no options but we have
to go through both of the options that I
just said the
We have to go through
this. Now when I
mentioned there are three in history
that
they set the time of
pa
like now I told you I'm leaving on a
tour in in two months. I am leaving for
two months. My entire family is coming,
but I'm coming a week before a cuz I
need to focus on certain things. I'm
coming to prepare
everything. Threeim prepared for us the
time of
pa. The first one that we are aware of
and I'm not I'm not going in order is
Mosher Rabenu.
What was the first thing that Mosha
Rabenu did when he
started the redemption process? He went
down to Mit. He went from his place of
he he had he was fine. He was the only
Jew not in
Mit. You're going down to
Mit. That's part of the pikida. So Moshe
had to go down to Mit physically,
spiritually, and so forth.
The next one was Jacob Ainu who did the
exact same thing and he went down to
Karan. Jakov lived in Isel. He ran away
and he went down to
Karan. The third one of course is
Rabishim who ran from the
Romans because they wanted to kill him
into the uh cave. Now each and every one
of these three always ran ran into a
cave. Also we also know that Abraov when
they wanted to kill him went to a cave.
A cave is not necessarily a hole in the
wall. It's a cabalistic concept where
the sit cannot come in which means it's
a very high lofty place.
Don't think he sat on some in some cave
on a stone and it was very how do you
call it
moldy you know he was in he he didn't
smell
mold the cave is a cabalistic concept
where one can go in and the cannot come
in there now what happens is that once
the sadik goes out of the me he's so
powerful that he can control the sit
wherever he is. So Mosher Rabenu Jacob
and Raishimai were in that level of
going down. What's the what's the
concept of running? Why did Mosher
Rabenu had to run away from Mitsime and
run to Mits and Yakov ran away from Asav
the action when the Sadi runs he pulls
the after him like a diversion like
imagine now there's a group of people
here and somebody wants to kill them
somebody here does a
diversion and he starts running and they
run after him that's what the saddic
does he pulls the after him causes a
diversion from the to go after the
saddic
He goes out of the level of cave. He's
much more powerful than the and he sub
subdues
the short version of what's going on.
So did that for us for now time for the
time of the gula. It says the first
thing in the in the in the book of
the with this book they're going to go
out of the exile with mercy. So prepared
it. Sorry, Jacob know prepared the peda
because we were in exile in Kan. We
don't look at it as exile but it was a
20 plus year holocaust for Jacob. You
know what Lavan did to him. But you're
going only by what it says in the Torah.
I can imagine what what he did to him
and
and for him was a mamash holocaust. So
Jacob ran out of grabbed the wife and
kids. He didn't even say goodbye to to
Lavan. That's where you see the level of
what he had to deal with. So, and same
thing, he ran away from the Romans who
wanted to kill him for trashing them and
he didn't even trash. He just said the
truth. That's what happened to
Rabishimon. The Romans
were in
power and also Sabbis were what do you
say? They were
like like in Soviet Union, Mama Russia,
the best country, the best government.
How do you call it?
Whatever. So, there were big rabbis who
were doing that to the Roman Empire and
to the Roman, oh, look at all the
praising. Look at our government. Look
at the h the bridges they're building us
and the and Raishim says, "What are you
talking about? All that they're doing is
for their own glory. You think they're
doing anything for you? And now he got
death penalty for that. So the concept
when the sadic runs away to the is to
pull the after him and then to subdue
it. The the this motion of the saddic
running is basically the diversion of
controlling the the kipah.
Soishim Mosher Rabenu did it with Jacob
did it
in look at the irony here did it with
the Romans. Romans is adome. Now we're
also controlled by Adam. But
nevertheless prepared it for the hour
time. The time of the pikida is prepared
by and that's with
the so and in two words so we can
conclude what is really so significant
about the zor and
why is the one
chosen.
There's the written Torah. There's the
oral Torah. But there's another type of
Torah. It's called Torah, the secret
part of the Torah, the esoteric part
that was revealed by
Rabishim. Why? Because he's a spark of
Mosherenu. Of course, comes a lot of
questions. There are other books of
Cababala more ancient than the
Zohar and many others. Why are you
telling
me exposed it? Well, first of all,
whenish brought down the Z for hundreds
of years, nobody found it. Nobody knew
it. There was very a few
copies by a few people and that was the
only ones who knew the Kabala. Now what
happened is there was a certain
individual in
Europe
who had he was a
cabalist and he had a version of
Zohar and one time he died when he
sleeped and when his wife came and found
the sephil of the zar she thought he
wrote it and many people think that the
zar was written by him but he was just a
cabalist that learned the zar and the
book was hidden. Nobody knew. There was
a few versions of it. That's it. Version
the main
copies.
Soon was the one who revealed the Torah
of Cababal of the Now, the thing is that
the let me explain very very simple in
toat in toat like I told you there's the
written Torah, there's
the oral Torah and there's the secret
Torah toat the reveal the the esoteric
part of the Torah.
Data the re the not revealed Torah is
divided into two sections
uh a higher level and a lower level. The
lower level you are familiar with what
is called the
seven and how are they called? It's
called reasons. The seventh spir of the
teachings of kabala is to reveal the all
the reasons for all the mitzvot. Why you
put fill in? Why seven times? Why black?
Why you do slaughter the animal like
this? Why you have to observe the the
land like that. All the laws that we
follow the lower part of cababala will
come to explain to you the reason why
you do it. Everything has a reason. You
don't do something that nobody invented
anything. That's the lower level of the
teachings of Cababala. The higher level
which called
Elonot nobody knows. There are very few
people who know it and not because they
wanted to learn and they sat down and
invested. It's because they reached to
the level. If you don't reach to that
level, you you cannot be told this this
Torah. A it will damage you. B you won't
understand nothing first of all you
won't understand nothing but in order to
reach to that level I mean you have to
be in a very high level and then you are
so to say invited to that realm and I'm
talking about great great sadikim in
that level but just that you know we're
relating with the we're not relating to
the mo that's not in our level that's
the that's the real and when people tell
you they learn kabala they don't learn
kabala they learn concepts of cababala
from the part that is called from the
seven spir anyone who tells you
different send them home
okay there's a very few people who
learning that level of kabala and like
I'm telling you I'm reiterating it
because now it's becoming more popular
people who learn kabala or tell you they
learn or teach cabala they're teaching
you or learning concepts of kabala and
specifically from the lower realm which
called ton
Raishimai what's spe so much special
about him that he was able to reach all
125 levels of the soul which I explained
to you in our course of shahulim that we
have 5* 5* 5 five levels of the nephesh
times five levels of the five five
levels of
the 125 levels that we need to
climbish mastered all 125 so he can
relate with every individual you go
tomorrow toon on one sand will be the
most holy rabbi in the world and next to
him a guy with earrings in his nose and
flip-flops doesn't even know how to read
Hebrew
says that's the the what you see in
Rabishim everybody loves Rabishimon I've
been a few days ago in Rabi in he didn't
get that there was thousands there the
place was
packed not even a fraction of what you
get in Meon who gets what comes to
me Rabishimon and it's not because
anything but the fact that anyone can
relate with Rabishimon because that's
how he prepared it. Rabishimon prepared
the ground that a he can re anyone can
relate with him he can relate with
anyone and he prepared the
ground. So the problem is that in order
for us just to conclude because we're
talking about a lot of concepts and I
want to put them all together. I'll tell
you what's the problem right now in our
situation. There's there's a there's
there's a problem. There's a
tardma uh tardma in Hebrew. How would
you say it in English? Dorcy. Dorcy.
Dorcy. That's how you say it. I never
heard the word. You know, interesting.
It's called
dermita. In Aramaic, it's dita. It's a
And in English, how? Dor. Dorcy. Dorcy.
Unbelievable.
Okay. But nevertheless, that's how it's
called. It's a place. It's like when
it's not a regular sleep. It's you
sleep. You can't wake the person
up. We just celebrated Purim and saying
just celebrated Purim is like already
two months back. But it seems like it
was yesterday in in the we learned that
where it
says there is one nation scattered all
over the the world. So I explained that
the
says don't read it. There is one nation.
Remove the amad. Take the yesh. It's
vav. What's sleeping?
That's what it is explains in the in the
still. That's saying in other words that
there's a
some there's dita from who? Who's who
sleeping?
like at the time of the at the time of
Purim. Now when Hashem is sleeping and
we had many times that Hashem was
sleeping what's the
result? There's no supervision by
Hashem. What's the result of
that? All sorts of start
coming and we see that with our own
eyes. There's a Hitler comes
there's tardem is sleeping October 7
kamasah Iran we had these hamanim for
the last 3,000 years so every time that
hashem so to say goes into this deep
sleep which we already explained that
it's us then all these hamanim starting
to come all these Hitlers and we see
that with our own eyes and if you see it
with our own eyes just with in our
generation I'm not talking Now uh uh 80
years ago in the Holocaust I'm talking
now how many Hamanima coming after
you doesn't matter where you are in
Israel we have enough in America too
much Europe it's it's
a so we have a
problem the problem
is that everything that's going on in
the world in the level of everyone take
that now into your own private life And
you'll see it's everything in your
private life. And that's really what I
wanted to focus on. We're looking now
the the problems of the entire world.
Solve your problems first before you're
going after the entire world. Don't look
in the entire world. Everybody has what
to say. Trump is doing this. BB is doing
that. Are you his
advisor? You're sitting with BB and
telling him what to do. Do you know how
many advisers he has? You know how many
times he does a because he's being told.
Not that I have any much respect for BB.
I don't think I'm a BB guy or Trump or
any. I don't go with any politician. I
vote for Mashia. I don't care about the
rest of the people. One might be better
than the other. But you think they
really operate what they want. You It's
very easy to pull
criticism. Look at your own life before
you now complaining on the entire world.
So let's now take the entire exile, the
entire world. Put it aside. Put it on
hold. Let's focus on your life for a few
minutes. Everything that I just said in
the last half an hour about exile,
that's your life. That's your
life. You are the one in exile. You are
the one who is behaving and
misconducting yourself in such a way
that you are preventing from the light
to come to you. And then you complain to
all
directions. And the biggest complaint
goes to Hashem. Why are you doing this
to
me? I'm doing something to you. I'm not
doing nothing to you. You're doing it to
yourself. So they say talk is
cheap. What's the solution? Talk. I can
talk now for another two
hours. We need solutions. You got the
point. I hope you got the
point. Shirim, one of the most
powerful texts that we have, the Song of
Songs written by Schlommo. Go to chapter
2 verse 9. It says
uh translation. I don't like the
translation because it says Hashem
resembles a
gazelle is not a
gazelle is a deer. I don't know
sometimes the translations where they
come from but nevertheless it's talking
about avi is a deer. A deer has a very
interesting uh uh thing that he does two
things. When the deer runs away, if you
now scare the deer, he runs away. You
know what he does all the time? He
constantly looks back. Runs, runs, run,
looks back, run, run, run, looks back.
Look at it. Any other animal, they don't
do it. the deer will look
back
says Hashem resembles a deer because
when even though he's getting further
and further away from us because of our
actions, he always looks back. Hashem
constantly looks back. Doesn't matter
how far he is from
us. And another thing is that a deer
sleeps with one eye open. So I'm
assuming a scared animal whatever sleeps
with one one eye
open. Hashem might be sleeping. I told
you
this is sleeping but Hashem sleeps with
one eye
open. If you read the continuation of
this verse that Hashem looks like a
deer. He is standing behind our wall
looking from the windows. Look at the
Hashem might be pretending that he's
sleeping. One eyes
open. Hem doesn't sleep.
Chapter 121
4. The guardian of Israel will neither
slumber nor sleep. So you're telling me
there's a Yeah. Shem is sleeping with
one eye
open. It's like a deer constantly
looking back. I can relate so much. I'm
sure you had
it hopefully with one of your children
that the child doesn't listen to you.
And what does the parent do? Okay, I'm
going. And you start going cuz it's time
to leave the playground. and you pretend
you're going and the child is like in
the beginning he doesn't buy that but
you walk and you walk and
you eventually the child is my mom is
running and he runs after you. So
it says in the
Torah, the nation of Israel, tell to
Hashem, even if we're sinning and we're
pushing you away, please don't ever stop
looking back. So doesn't matter how much
you push Hashem with your ridiculous
behavior,
Hashem, he's there. He's looking. He's
waiting for you to do. He's waiting for
you to go back on your path. But you
have to
understand that there's two ways how to
run the show. Hashem is always with us.
Hashem wants you to do chuva. Hashem
wants you to reach to your tikun. Not
that's why he brought you to this world.
If he wanted to punish you, he would
throw you to go to hell. He brought you
to this world so he he can help you fix
yourself that you can reach to a place
of tikun. He's not going to let you go.
You don't understand that. That's why
sometimes I look at people I'm like what
don't you let what don't you see here
certain individual like walking
headtohead into a wall no parasa no
livelihood 10 years you know how many
people I talk to every day rabbi give me
a give me a blessing no parasa you
stupid
man instead of running for aba and
spending the little money that you have
left on nonsense through going to fake
rabbis to give you a fake blessing stop
lying be faithful to your wife. You're
looking at other women and you think
you're gonna have an
assa why why are you trying to go
from you're slandering a s person all
day long you're causing sorrow to
another person then you wonder why your
teeth are falling out and all day long
you're in dentists or
doctors who are you
kidding when things go bad in your life
if you look at everybody around you wow
the exile you are ine I don't think I
can take you out of such an exile when
things go not good in my life right away
I stop my life on the spot and the only
direction I'm looking at is
myself where did I go wrong what did I
do wrong where did I fail maybe I'm not
doing enough maybe I am the problem I
never look at the at the situation why
is Hashem not giving me pan
I have problems with banana. I look at
myself. Are you guarding your eyes? Are
you guarding your mouth? Are you giving?
Are you paying? Are you doing what the
Torah tells you? Do what the Torah tells
you. Nothing will happen to
you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you.
Do what the Torah tells you with
no excuses. You'll see life is
smooth. And when life is a little bit
bumpy, it's good. That's the rhythm of
life.
When the line is flat, it's that means
dead. So there are two ways to do the
the job that you need to be done. Hashem
won't let you go. Hashem, if Hashem lets
go, Hashem then that's a situation is
bad. And I saw some people that it looks
like Hashem totally let go. Leave me
alone. I don't want to talk to you.
You're going to have to do cha
yourself. But the fact is you have to
fix your position in the world. What you
damage, what you need to do. Hashem
won't let you. He will make sure that
you're doing it. So there are only two
ways to do it. The first way is called
shamine. I don't recommend that way. I
know it sounds fancy. Shamine. Shamine
means the heavens. Hashem is also called
shamine. That's option number one. And
I'm saying option number one because
most people choose that option. And I
don't recommend that option. Option
number two is called shama. Now it
sounds completely opposite. It sounds
shaming is the fancy way is not. Then
I'll tell you it's the complete
opposite.
The second option is called aritz is
that you humiliate yourself to a place
that you take responsibility for your
actions and you do what you've been
told and that will shorten the process
from this to this. That's
it. I'll repeat it for the ones who
didn't quite get the message.
You just do what you've been
told. Bring yourself to a place of
humility. Yesterday I spoke with
somebody. I told him the key to your
problem is humility. Who do you think
you are? And even if you're not so
great, so
what? I achieved great things in my
life. You think I take credit for that?
Because Hashem did that. Hashem allowed
that. And so what if I'm that great?
It's all about h how you know how to uh
humble yourself in many different ways
and we're not going to elaborate on how
you humble yourself right now. But if
you humble yourself and you understand
that there's something above you that
runs the show and you just need to
follow orders, do it with a smile on
your face, I guarantee to you, you will
shorten the distance like
that. Your tikun is going to be like
that. Life will be swift and easy. And
then on the way you collect as millions
of bonuses. But if you choose path
number one
shamim that
means that you don't do nothing from
yourself and from shamim from the
heavens they make you do everything and
they will bend you. Now you want to
choose that go ahead. That's what most
people
choose that they think they can control
the situation and shamine they
say
no now if I'm supposed to now receive
100 kilograms of suffering because I
told you that many times on rash shah
you're not only blessed with how much
money you're going to make or who you're
going to marry and how many kids you're
going to have you know what you also
blessed on rash shah and I taught that a
dozen times how many sufferings you're
going to have that year what are going
to be your nissote your challenges of
the year that is all decided on so if
it's decided on then I have to have 100
kilograms of nissote of challenges or
and suffering because that's what Hashem
wants because to keep me on my toes and
to remove previous sins etc
etc I can redeem these suffering with
other things I don't have to go through
the suffering. I will add another hour a
day of learning Torah. I will suffer on
the Torah. That's how it's
called. That you want to go and see now
a Netflix show. You push that Netflix
show and you learn something hard. You
don't sit in a lecture and the rabbi
feeds
you the Torah. You learn the Torah. You
bring on yourself
the then you're taking off what you owe.
You can wake up at 11:00 or you can wake
up at 4 in the morning. You can go to
the mikvah down the street where they
heat the water and you ah or you go to
the mikvah on the other side of the
street which is one degree from freezing
point and to go into the mikra at 4:00
in the morning in the winter when the
water is like almost
freezing like
this. Then you bring on yourself
some you remove the ones that that are
waiting for
you. So there's only two ways to get to
the point. There's a there's an origin.
There's a
destination. You choose how you get to
the destin. You will get to the
destination. By the way, how all beaten
up or
happy? So it all depends on you. You
take option number two. you're short in
the way. Option number one, then deal
with
it. So with that said, to
conclude, I do believe that I'm not
exaggerating when I know that most
people have a lot of challenges in their
life. There's a fraction of people they
they they don't get impressed by the
challenges. They just uh in Hebrew we
call it like you go on a on a on a book
you go like this one page after the
other flipping the pages.
Okay. Most people don't most people they
they they they sink into the sorrow of
their own problems and then they bring
more problems and some when I listen to
people I'm like how do you conduct your
I don't understand what's going on here.
And trust me I have a I have a busy
life.
I have a lot
of challenges. Let's call item. I'm not
complaining. Shem gives me three balls
to juggle. Then he obviously thinks that
I can juggle three balls. And when he
throws in another three balls, then
obviously he thinks I can juggle six
balls. Now, do I have an option of now
not juggling? No, I have to juggle them
because they're going to be on the
floor. So, do what you need to do and
shut up.
But the fact is each one in their way
you you may feel that life is closing
down on you that there's certain aspects
in your life that there's no blessings.
Now if anything that I'm saying doesn't
relate to you that's not the class for
you. I know many people that will come
and tell me listen Rabbi I'm not kidding
anyone life is you know but I'm happy I
have a good spouse I have good kids our
health is fine we have a good attitude
that's that's really how it should
be thanking for what you have not seeing
what you don't have it's very easy to
see in my life what I don't
have but it's much harder and smarter
and effective to see what I do have when
you focus focusing on what you have then
you don't focusing on what you don't
have. That's why I told you in the
beginning what causes all these barriers
your behavior and a very large amount is
your
attitude. Half your problems disappear
when your attitude
changes. So we're not going to focus now
how to do this. This we might have to do
in another class. But what I'm saying is
fact is many times many people reach to
a place in their life that they feel
some spiritual organ is dead. It's not
working. Can't find my other half. Can't
make money. Can't educate my kids to
love the Torah. That neighbor bothers me
all day long. This person is suing me.
So many different
issues. And like I told you before, a
lot of it is your actions. Why? Because
we explained and as you create that
void, the deen will come on that void.
You invite the dem on you. So the
judgments will be all these sufferings.
That's it. It's very simple math here.
What is left right now is the you choose
which option. The option is to go walk
in the path of the Torah. Of course, no
question here. And to do it right way
and I'm guaranteeing to you, you'll see
much less issues in your life and life.
It's like
a you know when you the tap the other
day they fixed the water here in the
city. They didn't open the water. I
don't know what they did for two days.
The water was like where's the water?
you know five and a half minutes to fill
a cup there wasn't any pressure all it
takes is you know open the open a little
bit more water will come nothing and
there's no shepher coming into your life
reverse engineer it's very
simple so I gave enough explanations and
enough guidance what to do there's not
there's there's not much the to the
whole Torah here is you can stand on one
leg you just need to
do the advantage finish there. We want
to add on that that this week you have
the opportunity of of sweetening the
judgments, not to bring new judgments.
Hopefully, you got the point. But to
this week, you can sweeten the
judgments. And that means you shorten
the
way. Excuse me. You shorten the way.
Unbelievable. Instead of three days,
three hours.
And uh when exactly is the peak is this
coming Thursday night. I have other
classes online that I explain very in
depth
about there's no point of repeating the
point right now is to understand where
I'm holding and to take the advantage
that I can sweeten judgments. Now what
do you need to do on lagba? Not a lot.
It's not a holiday that you need to now
fast or pray for hours or what. It's a
kind of I don't want to say regular day,
but it's kind of like a regular day.
It's not doesn't have any of the values
of ayto or anything. I mean has
unbelievable. I'm saying that in the
that just that you understand it's not
like a but in regards to the godly light
that is shining
on don't discount that for a second. The
light that's going on. Thank you. On on
[Music]
So there's a lot to
do. A if you can go to the that's in
on I've explained that the sadic the the
the grave it's not really called a
grave. It's called a a mark. Wherever
the body is, that's the mark. And from
that mark, there's a like a pipe where
the soul of the sadi goes up from the
world above to the world below. So
for that's his elevator to the higher
world. That's where his soul go comes
into the world there in. And if it's
over there at whatever sadic where they
are and the sadic chooses where to be
buried. If you go to the grave, why do
we go to graves? We don't pray to the
sadik. We pray to Hashem. But the reason
why we go to the grave is because the
nephesh of the sadik is there. The
nephesh all year round. You go to the
nephesh of is there. So if you learn to
there you get connected. It's can you
imagine the how you're being affected by
the spiritual light. You don't go to
pray to the tadic. You pray to hashem.
You learn to hashem. Are you
there? Now one can say what's the big
deal? I can't pray
anywhere. Okay, let's say now h the king
is giving
a how do you call it? Uh speech once a
year the king comes out to give a
speech. Everybody comes to here. You can
hear it live on YouTube.
But don't you want to be in front of the
king in the VIP uh row dressed all nice
and you're listening to from the you
hear the king's voice. I don't want to
hear it in a a recording. It's what I
tell people. Why don't you come to
Israel? I'll come when Mashiach comes.
But Mashia is going to reveal himself in
Israel, not in New York.
You want to be seeing Msiah right when
he comes
or a month later because there won't be
any flights with
Allal. I want to see the second I want
to see the revelation. Why do why should
I see it on YouTube? Why should I sit in
Miami and watch a live streaming of the
coming of Mashia Israel when I can be
here? Same thing here.
So every day of the year the nephic is
in the resting
place the 15th day of every month that's
where the is already there but on the
day of the
passing it's all there can you imagine
standing there the energy when
the
ofishim is there present there And I
don't know about you, but when I go, I
feel you feel it. You feel that. So if
you can go, if you
can't, I'll go and I'll uh send regards.
But first of all, uh it's a very
powerful day. I told you the three
things we need to do to connect myself
with Hashem. I need to thank Hashem. Do
whatever you need to do to thank Hashem.
Even with your own words, thank you for
the water. Thank you for giving me this.
Thank you for thank Hashem all the time.
90% thanking, 10% asking. That's what
the Torah says. I will say 99% just
thank Hashem all day long. Thank Hashem
and not Hashem. Thank Hashem. Nothing
wrong with thanking Hashem. You answer
already Hashem. Be appreciative once a
day. Sit down and thank Hashem for
whatever you have. I know it sounds
maybe what's the big deal? I constantly
thank Hashem. Constantly. And it's
coming from the depth of my heart. It's
like I appreciate everything that Hashem
does.
You know, I buy my kids presents all the
time. They all say thank you. Some of
them you see the
appreciation. It's a it's a nature and
you can nourish that. You see the
appreciate. Be appreciative to Hashem.
Every time you have a complaint, stop
the complain on that moment and right
away look for something that is amazing
in your life and thank
Hashem. You bump your little pinky toe
into the side of the bed or something.
Ah, instead of screaming and starting
cursing, thank you that I have a a mouth
and teeth to scream
even. You know, the other day I had some
infection in my ear. Two days I couldn't
hear. You know how annoying it is not to
hear? Yes, it is. I barely
hear. I'm like 80% dead. But now I
couldn't
hear. So what did it cause? Instead of
complaining, I kept I for a whole week I
thanked Hashem that I can hear. We don't
appreciate what we have till we don't
have
it. Hashem is waiting for you to wake
up. Don't complain. Don't think that
Hashem is punishing you because things
in your life don't work out how you
want. It's Hashem waking you up. He just
wants your attention. He just wants you
to come home. He just wants you to go on
his path. He wants you to reach your
tikun. And he tells you why you going
the long
way. Go the short. Why are you going the
long way? Why are you going like that?
Listen to my advice. He says just follow
the Torah. You'll live
fine. So today, regardless to this week
in Om, I think I gave you a pretty clear
explanation how to deal with your life.
And I can guarantee you, I will sign for
you that it works. And I'm the
proof. And I'm not different than you.
And I guarantee to you that I probably
have 10 times more what weight on my
shoulders than you, if not 100 times.
It's attitude. And
Hashem, there's nothing wrong different
between me and you. And I'm telling you,
it works. Hashem throws the challenges
in your in your in your face when you're
dealing with it in the right way. They
disappear. They
dissolve. Unbelievable. You just see it
with your own eyes. Try it. So since
it's hard, then take this week to to to
use as a jumping board today, tomorrow,
till Sunday. Increase whatever you can.
Sit with yourself and analyze your life.
Where can I put more? Where can I what
can I remove? Where can I refine myself?
How would Hashem want me to conduct
myself in this situation, this
situation, and this situation? What is
the right thing to do? You have to
understand that what you're seeing,
what's going on in the world is a mini
you. You seeing the world, wars inside
of you, constant war. You see in the
world, instability. See, same thing with
you. Uncertainty in you. Everybody
fighting with each other in you. You
fighting with each other all day long.
Monday second later, you know, it's the
same
thing. So, what I want to recommend to
you, I gave you enough information to go
and repeat the video, look, watch it a
few times and apply it. But what I want
to recommend to you is this Thursday
night, don't don't let that Thursday
night this year and Friday go past. you
can go to go to one of the here and go
to because
of if you can go to if you don't I'm
going to give me names I'll pray for you
whatever you want as it is I was on
Monday in May of 7 hours names coming in
all day long but I rather pray for you
than to pray for myself so you can send
me your names I'll pray for whatever
problems you have and somebody also it's
very important somebody asked me the
other day I didn't start I didn't count
the om till now can I start. I said,
"Well, listen, obviously you missed a
large significant amount of it, but
start because that's the whole point of
the even if you missed three quarters of
it, start of course without the just say
today is read the have in your mind.
It's never too late. You didn't you
didn't do it the right way. It's it's
true, but really every day is a mitzvah
of
itself. There's not one mitzvah. Every
day you have a mitzvah. So I'm telling
whatever you can take the opportunity
because Hashem is listening. Hashem is
close. We have the advantage
of learn. Ah that's the thing. If you
can and you're independent do whatever
you need to know and you know if not
then I have a page on my website
atmood.orgb. It's very long, but there's
all the prayers that you need to say for
there both in Hebrew and in English
organized in a very organized way.
There's certain tim to read. There's
certain tikun to read. There's certain
prayers I it takes time. I'm already
telling you it's going to take you time,
but I made it on the website clear and
both in English and in Hebrew. Just
remember at.org/lagb
/bom invest a little bit way beyond what
you can think and in all aspects for
chuva and
and learning Torah and so forth but we
have to take advantage of this time
because
in on you can do a huge change huge
change in your life.
All is left for me is to wish you great
success on the path that you should be
going
on. And Bazad Hashem, Hashem
should remove all obstacles with your
help. Hashem, by the way, I'm blessing
you that it will happen, but you have to
do it. You have to do it on you're
getting a 99% discount. All the
judgments are sweetened. And what needs
to be done is to learn Torah. Everything
that I told you, you sweeten the
judgments. And the what's what does it
mean that the judgments are sweetened
that the judgment becomes mercy? You
have a lawsuit, suddenly it goes well in
your favor. You're about to sell your
property for a million, suddenly you got
to win a million point. Uh whatever it
is, I'm stop throwing ideas. The
judgment becomes mercy and then you see
true blessings in your life. So I'm
going to take the opportunity to wish
you a very successful path on the path
that you need to walk on that Hashem
should bless you with
true fear of God and seeing the hand of
God in everything. And that Hashem
should bless you that your chuva should
be efficient that you should just reach
to your tikun without all the headaches
and the distractions on the side. And
last but not least, we'll just wish you
and happy. And for the viewers, please
share the video and we'll be able to
hopefully see the ultimate blessing of
Hashem, the coming of Msiah and the
coming of Hashem back to Yushimat.
