so we're learning KES
and asked some very good
questions and uh you know on the
WhatsApp uh and I'm very happy to
entertain such questions although uh
they're not relevant right now for the
text but it's good to see that the mind
is working B and you're into it and you
make me be into it
more and I did find uh comment
yesterday that there is of course an
association between the last letter in
kraak about
daving properly and all that and what
we're going to learn
today you
see the letters were written at
different times and I surely don't have
a
good understanding of when this was
written that's written it's it's it's
not it's not really it's not really
written so that's why I don't have that
information you know different Scholars
have tried you know to to place dates on
this and that and some of that I I've
done as well but you know I can't say I
can't say with shity
so I can't give you you know you asked
the question like if the AL here in the
speaks about daving I'm going to learn a
moment about daving why do it repeated
later right or what you know is it a
repetition
so may maybe that second maybe that what
he wrote later was actually written the
same time I don't know so let's let's
for now let's for now just leave it and
and go on so we're on
page we're on page
K and we're learning here
about the the
impact of
t on a
[Music]
person's and we learned yesterday that
the M it says in in
as she girdles herself with the strength
of her with strength strengthen the
loins so this is what we're learning now
the
loins bring the head and the body to
where it wants to go so it's connect it
connects both but the
but goes even further than the actual
text in in his explanation that the O
goes
on and that
through in the spiritual sense one is
able to have
their permeate their their
logic that's the theme of this first
part
ofish you
understand AB f faith I said yesterday
we're not talking about a meager Faith
we're talking about deep Faith what we
call Faith in the trans transcendental
God we're not talking about someone who
has a crisis in their life and they rely
on
faith that's not the faith of of the
Nish the faith of the Jewish soul is
more more
profound it it has has nothing to do
with a crisis and and such issues faith
is Transcendence so the question is if
faith is
Transcendence what is the addition
of she girdles herself with strength to
make the loins even stronger I thought
the loins are strong the Lo is
Faith and this is what the
that there is the amuna of the soul of a
person's n and there's the amuna of God
as God is reflected in the person and
there's no comparison between the
two because at the end of the day even
amuna even Faith that's transcendental
is Transcendental of you of us of man
and as long as it's associated with man
there's a
limitation so so it's it's it's it's
hard to understand but conceptually I
think we could understand understand it
that it's a faith it's a Transcendence
but it's a Transcendence that is limited
by the human being who has that Faith
including the Jew including the
ne you know you ask yourself NE Godly
Soul what what what could be greater
than it you know what can be greater
than it than it Hashem inra the way
hasem puts himself in T is is a greater
uh experience
of the Transcendence of God then faith
is from its own perspective from the as
it is in a Jew why because the way faith
is with is at the end of the day
from within
you so it's limited at the end of the
day
H is
God's so when we talk about a
transcenders coming from
it's totally
transcendental it's God that's in in a
nutshell what we're going to learn right
now and that's a and that's a novelty
let's
continue and and just one point that
that bar was asking about and again
we're going to learn it soon briefly and
that's expressed specifically not just
through ter not through not
through and within with the oral
Torah why he doesn't elaborate here but
the has a series of
my where he talks about it very
important my M it talks about this
concept takes the essence and brings it
down to real life it takes God who's
transcendental and makes of God practic
practic practical in your life
until one opinion says this and another
opinion says this right is it all yes
but guess what the fact that there's two
opinions and it's unsettled and it's
unresolved and we don't have a bottom
line that that means that's not the
deepest experience the deepest
experience is when it comes down the PO
M and actuality
in so people look at Jewish law as
restrictive right AB you hear it so many
time you keep
shabas you can't go to the balll game
can't you can't play bowling you can't
pick up the phone what we what we
understand from T especially the way
illuminates
T that chabas is the greatest experience
of God through the limitation not
excluding the limitation because the
limitation is the proof in the pudding
if you can't experience Hashem in the
limitation you have no
God you don't have the real God you have
a god of your imagination you have a god
of limitation but they have the essence
of God what we
Callos
Theos Express specifically in so this is
why we
have written Torah oral Torah and within
oral Torah itself let's go to the text
now
it's a middle of
page it's smack in the middle of the
page after a
period is called
Lo the Lo
support and give strength to the to the
Head this is the
mind which contemplates and delves
deeply with their
mind
into the greatness of the
infinite we learned that actually
yesterday in all three levels
of which the first letters of the three
words is an acronym
for right the
smoke the mountain was full of smoke
and because has such great
kindness and wonderful and wonderness
and he loves and he cares for us so
much and he says and that we are his
close
nation and we have the the opportunity
to cleave to attach actually
to as it's known from the the sages
say better to have one
hour through and good deeds in this
world than the entire lifetime of the
world to come one hour of helping a ye
here and doing a Mitzvah here on Earth
is greater the entire fascinating
statement by the
sages it says why is
that because the world to come is only
an emanation a
reflection from the level that's called
the divine presence
the that
rest and was created through the of
God's name
it's
one it's one little letter Y of God's
name the
conversely doing CH doing good deeds on
Earth you don't just get a
little you get K to Our Father in Heaven
Mish
to his
Ence his
Ence
speaking you're you're to the Infinity
of
God
God's
God's his radian is on the he on the
earth and the heaven
right that's only a a y is a a splendor
it's it's it's a reflection it's an
emanation but it's not the
essence but then we have when you make
a and you actually do a Mitzvah you get
the
essence like we learned earlier quoting
the POS as what is reflected through the
water when you when the water when you
water your face is is is reflected on
water right so two through a Mitzvah
it's an actual
connection and then if it's only a
comprehension then you you you get you
derive from this
understanding
intellectual feelings
of all of O and and love O next page 204
t or more natural ones these are the
different levels of Aang that we
explained from chapter 43 through
51 causing us to scream to to shout with
our heart to pour our heart
to or another level called the calls of
Fire
he the great
Flames having a strong
yearning after having we return to
normality to have fear of God in your
heart to have to have
humility because you recognize God's
awesomness and that refers to the left
side which is pushes as side you you
know you bring close with the right and
you push you push away with the
left so he
says it
says the nation saw the
Revelation they they trembled and they
stood far away it's too scary to come
here it's it's they were
scared the
so we have three things now we have the
head the body and the body has the Z the
arms right hand is left hand
isur then we have the neish inside the
soul so through all of this there's a
there's a an involvement of the head the
body
theid and the soul is animating it so
the AL is
saying that the the loins strengthen the
head and the arms the
body and bring it to a PL
to to to where it has to be and now he
continues look let's read the text and
then we'll talk if we need to me who
gives the power the strength Theus
to
the
to make strong to make
stand and to sustain The Head and the
arms who
a thew
with with the
oral this is the revelation of the
superal
will on a lower level comes only
fromour transcend way greater than
withdom and this is what we
call in other words it says
it comes out of that's the lower level
of but the truth is to is much higher it
comes from God's
Will and the suppor it
says like a shield God's will surrounds
you like a
crown that goes up on top on the brains
within the head you put the crown
on
top as we know as it's explained
in regarding the
verse a woman of Valor is the crown of
her
husband
guys we have to remember that who is our
Crown our wives okay we're great we're
bright we accomplish and all that but
who is the
crown the crown is the is and so it's
true with the T there is the T the way
TAA is
already but T really comes from a much
higher place called R so yes the man the
male is very very significant and does a
lot and I see Hill has something very
important to say I can see it all over
his face blowing down
what I was just going to comment that I
rely on my wife to remind me of this yes
well the thing is H it should be so
ingrained in you you don't need her to
remind you when you wake up you you
should you should just feel
[Laughter]
it
spiritually is saying what is the
practical application of the ruten of
the crown it's and that's why it says
someone who studies every day is
promised to have that's why right the
rabbi or gab just a person gets up and
tries to say many times because of
this what's the
point within the oral is the most
significant so make sure that someone
says one every day it's not a big thing
one line two lines just a let's go on
now he goes back to the she girdles
herself with
might her
lo when we say remember we learned
yesterday and B asked me a good question
I told him it's not the same idea he
asked about forget another quote another
idea and he said it's two separate ideas
I believe
we're talking about the that gives and
might and
strength to the
loins that are girdled and are
invested to support the
arms the arms on the body weigh on the
body if your loins are messed up yeah
don't it can't support the arms fall so
the must in the Lo play a significant
role role in the support for the arms
which in our case is what the love and
fear
so it so what does it mean but he
says that means there something this
means that the loins give support to the
arms but it works the other way as well
that the that the that the there's
strength given to the to the m
so what we're learning is not just that
the loins give support for the arms but
ultimately we want the the the the
essence the this is the
continuation the should give and
permeate the loins that's what I said
before with the amuna that's not
generated by man even by the soul of man
by the of man but by T which is God
let's
continue
um delay everyone in their own way that
the that their their their arms IE their
mid of of of and be it intellectual or
natural are all
strengthened and they also accomplish
the loins accomplish that the the head
the verse
says it tasted it what does it refer to
to what did it taste ice
cream what did it taste ice cream jelly
jelly
beans the taste
of which is
good it protects it it creates the
protection it surrounds it and protects
it it's it's a brackets will go on now
comes another
part now the question is when is the
right time for this activity that he
described this
say the right time is for
the for the time when we strengthen the
arms and the head with
the it's during the
morning everyone do here so look
is going to explain to us now how
important daving is and what we should
be doing
daving you want to know when it's the
time of it's during shakas of the
morning morning
Shak at that time there is an auspicious
time from God's perspective H the
auspicious time of the God's superal
will which shines in the world is during
your shakas not at 12:00 in the
afternoon
it's doing Shak okay if this man still
12 fine but you know what I'm
saying and he
says right what do we
say right that we're saying now this we
say this is what I
request more he brings the of the
Searchers for God they'll understand
they'll intellectualize
together and it will end up being a a
memory between their
eyes you guys remember everything I
wrote to you last
year the year
before in in the year
1787 he wrote to them a letter all about
daving and how it's important to DAV and
Dav with kav and Dav slowly and Dav you
know all about
so now in this letter of
1788 uh
1788 a year later says that and again
now he started this letter began because
he's thanking and writing about the C
masas but in this letter he refers back
to the letter that he wrote a year ago
where he spoke he wrote to them about F
and he and and the reason is cuz he says
what I'm writing to you now about
thanking you for doing the C
you should continue and the the virtue
of to says and when will you experience
it during daving which I wrote to you
about last year that's how he goes into
the section of daving yes
Hil I'm I'm just not by a
little what's the in that sentence
the the time of ding the yeah uh
string uh of the emotions of the
no no no he's saying I ask you to to
think
about this idea that we spoke about the
MIM and all everything else during
daving in other words because daving is
the auspicious time from on high it's
the ace ra the Ace of the alen I want
I'm asking of you to to D with this
thought and and and and and this
meditation because then you're you're
you're doing it at the right
time in other words to meditate on this
thought you can meditate
anytime and the yeah but it's not but H
it it's it's just it's not it's
everything that he said and and More in
other words that's fine okay right he
said the time to do everything we've
been talking about uh the bringing it
the world
of yeah all
that is Shak exactly is Shak right so
now he's going to talk about shakas once
he starts telling us this is the right
time he he even though he wrote about it
a year before not in not in Con in
connection with the c he just wrote to
the about the importance of daving here
he begin writing it in conjunction he he
the letter begins with the and so then
he he goes over and he says you know
what you know when that will be
experienced at the greatest is during
shakat which I wrote to you about last
year so now he takes the opportunity
even here at the rest of the letter to
talk about F let's see what he
says more specifically it's not just
that this is the right time it's the
right time for
having focus and
intent the depth of your
heart every single day you search your
you search for God with all your heart
all your
soul you hear that your soul your heart
should pour it out pour itself out like
water whether it be with tears or or or
or or laughter mean you know but it
should have it should be the experience
of what's called in in in in in
the the
word comes from this root
word to
pour means my my soul pours itself out
in prayer to
you ques
that it's a part of a
verse
facing you know say
means till your soul seizes your soul
leaves you you're you're you're you're
so in in involved and engaged in daving
with
his it's as though the
soul let's continue I want to finish
today
because it's not that hard it's more
more
simple and
now I add a second point this part of
theas was written when the AL came back
from his
Rich beard I
add and I
request look at these words double my
request is
double spread out
like you know also spread out it's three
words which mean I'm I'm really
requesting this of you please please
please all men of Peace
meaning Brotherhood
of all over the ones that are near me
where he live those that are distant in
other places in Russia and Ukraine and
other and
elsewhere that you should fulfill the
following all weekday throughout the
week people who are running to work
should not go over to be the
the because they don't have so much time
right it's the workers's minion we all
know about that in and out say
I understand but you don't go over to
the because you're going to do um a
whack job you're going to knock it off
so fast wrong that's not the way you're
doing you have to run run run do what
you have to okay and he
says who should be
the the leaders those that have
time
those like you guys in in B who are not
working morning hours so you're not in a
rush you work whoever works you know in
more American hours so you can you don't
have to rush in the
morning the ones who are teachers of
children they start a little later I
guess
like who rely on excuse me their father
their parents table that's an expression
meaning they you your parents F you so
you don't have to run to
work all these three types of categories
and people can lengthen they can
be in the
morning approximately an hour and a half
you heard it for the B now you know why
not many want to be his
his he's talking to the B here and he
says I I would like you to D for an hour
and a half a morning
shakas I think we have one
here you know
anyway at least at least an hour and a
half every day of the week
day May
those are the type of people who will
spend an hour and a half leading the
congregation they should be the ones
going to over to the to the be to
the now what if you have all you guys
right so which one you make a gyal
because each one of you doesn't have to
rush so you can spend an hour and a half
in so we need a about so you make a guu
a lot or
or based on what most people want they
want for some reason they like A's
daving and they want aam Even though
Hill is there and Bar's there and I'm
there and everyone's there they like A's
daving so they decide we the majority
likes so becomes the B
okay look I don't know you're
disappearing to but the AL is giving you
now a message here
you have to know because you're going to
you're going to be doing this one day
you AR the leader the the one who
becomes the
B he has to gather around
him all the others that are living off
their their parents
table all the
teachers who can DAV an hour and a half
like he DAV at the they should be around
him and don't change this at all wow so
other words we have a Sho many of the
people are rushing out says rush rush
rush do what you have to okay I'm not
judging you but he says a
minion has to thousand slow
approximately I'm hour and a half at
least so you have to have a bfer who
does that and the about fer should
gather around him nine others at least
who D in that way so that it's felt and
heard that this is the main stay of
dominion not the the people who are
running out that I haven't seen yet not
just to protect him from the and want to
go yeah right well said
oh then even all business people all the
big knockers who are making the deals
and the deals and the shs now they can't
do it it's
right they have time it's the right
time for they also shabas should be D
for at least an hour and a half now now
mind you we're talking about shakas
we're not talking
about we're not talking about we're
talking about Shak an hour and a half I
want to make that clear it doesn't mean
because you say shabas every two two and
a half hours yeah that's with K and mus
we're talking about aak of an hour and a
half a problem okay but in it's not a
problem
good says
upon all
the the responsibility for this lies
more on
them six days you
work the seven
days it's a day only all for God so you
balab who work during the week the whole
idea of working for the week during the
week is
that so if the the the kly man and the
person who doesn't start work till later
and he has an hour and a half to D it's
no B it's noes but you guys don't have
the time so the obligation on doing an
hour and a half shakras and shabas lies
more on you than on
them therefore they to the the business
people should go to to go to
the again
based based on the majority
vote like I wrote last year in the
letter to
you last paragraph on the
page says now he doesn't stop Relentless
you should all know and he's telling
them he's writing a letter to them and
he's telling them what he's going to do
it's my my my thought and and approach
that God willing I will
send to all the I'm going to
send
spies you hear
that you won't know who's a spy you
won't know who's coming on my behalf to
let me know how doing went
they will let me know these spies
whoever was able to D in this
way and those that have the ability to
lengthen himself and to look into deeply
into
Ding and they're
lazy they could do it but they're lazy
they don't want to spend an hour and a
half in
D says the when they will let me know
these SP who these people
are they will be judged that and
distance far away meaning I won't I
won't let them come see me for and for
blessings whatever he doesn't say I'm
going to give them they're going to
be until they change their
way very harsh words I'm going to push
them away with two hands
when they come to
me to he which means they come running
they have to hear a m from the Reba
right they have to go to a
Tish I will know whether they're coming
from their stle and their Village to me
and they did not fulfill this obligation
that I'm I'm putting upon them to D an
hour and a half at least shakas for
balab on shabas and for everyone else
during the week and they won't be a able
to just come here and get a free
ride concludes with nice and from the
negative you understand you the
positive those that will listen will
will will have
sweetness they'll have the blessing of
good and the
only it's it's it's a hard it's it's
it's it's a
chapter that on one hand it's hard to
swallow like cuz you know I asked you
know I didn't D an hour and a half today
okay I'm like a by bus I had to be at
the computer
now right but I still feel it's an
excuse so get up for me get up
earlier I got up at 5: get up at
4:30 but but the point is on
shabas on Shas do i d and have
shakas and saying
clearly his he he this you can't you
know you can't play games with this
letter he says what he says I always say
to I don't care if
in in many other I say for sure you
would never
be why because you're not in the half an
hour or an hour and he says here an hour
and a half at least
at the same
time you know at the same
time D knows that it's
it's you know we're we're so burdened
and it's difficult and at the end of the
day I'm sure he has Mercy on us but this
shouldn't be taken lightly and I know
some of you probably thinking oh I go
into a kabat and they D so fast and
guess what there's no
excuse my father and my sh my father
today turns 87 and my made a special
minion of 770 at 7:00 a.m. next time
you're there my father still is at that
minion where they ding slow I'm not sure
they ding an hour and a half but they
ding much
slower
so now there there were there were
always individually who D for hours but
here we're talking about is we're not
talking about the individual D daver
we're talking about the min
do you understand what he's saying here
he's saying a minion of shakas in
aabad is not allowed to be less than an
hour and a half that's what he's saying
here whatever you know and and and and
he's emphatic he's emphatic he's going
to send spies and the spies will tell
him who's doing this and who's doing
that and then he either will accept you
and let you come hither my or he's going
to distance you sounds pretty GIC
H but you know felt he he needs to get
the message across you know you know
we're all
nice and then we do what we want says
I'm not going to let you do what you
want you want you want take spirituality
from me I want something from you cuz
the a wants
that you know it's it being Aid
especially being Aid of any re and in
this case the
AL there's the mans on you it's not just
this you know game I do what I want when
I want how I want that's Unfortunately
today we have a lot of that yish in the
from community in theid community you
know I just I was I was shabas in
Lakewood and all around in a kidish area
beautiful but after ding every the Kish
the CH the kishka everyone's out I was
left myself
for me it was personally good it was
quiet I was able to
D you know quiet for another hour an
hour and a half you know but I'm saying
it's like where you rushing to he just
had kishin CH they didn't have ch just
Kish not Kish no the cou and and what
are you running to you just stuffed
yourself up what are you running home
for why don't you spend the an hour
learning gar no everyone has to go out
complete B medes when I was finishing
one je came over to me who had a Talis
on and kissed my hand I have no idea who
he was one ye in a base me that can hold
300 people beautiful beautiful B
Med you know so I'm just saying there's
been this change in like we have and and
and I think what we understand from what
the AL is writing that 200 years ago in
the it wasn't this way in a in a she in
able it wasn't this way it was probably
more like in the car people hanging out
you know smoing finging
saying but the is ding you know theab
weighs you know and I'll tell you
something I just some you get hungry so
in kabad you know we permit the eating a
little coffee mazus vegetables a little
cereal you know you should be able to D
for 2 three hours you should be able to
sit and so it's all right you know it's
all right right again I don't want to
get into or says otherwise do do as as
you see fit you know but
inab you know the idea is to have yes he
what do you want to say he finished okay
have a great shabas shabas and we'll see
everyone on
Sunday how old are you 25 how old are
