Parshas Shemos: The Iron Furnace - The Rama Mipano Reveals the 2 Definitions of the Word "Adam"

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay of shabas as we prepare for so um to get a full appreciation of this Shear it's really worthwhile to revisit Wednesday's Shear so if you have an opportunity check out the iron furnace the role of according to the and the and in the context of that we want to add a number of very important points tells us says the graves of idolators they do not render you Jewish people are man you are called man and idolators are not called Adam idolators are not called man and the question is why would that be the case after all the very first human being ever created is Adam he was called Adam and everyone alive today are descendants of Adam so why would only CLA to the title ofam after all Adam is something that is universal that should be Universal name I get shouldn't all mankind be called and yet the says no the says said we learned on Wednesday that in a nutshell that the purpose of going down to was when marish sinned the snake injected in him what Z filth and is what rectifi that and got it out and burnt it out okay was called the the iron furnace it burnt out of mankind the Z that was injected into with and the question we would like to address is so then all of mankind should have had to go down to M why only CL is why only the Jewish people if MIT was a TI before the and it removed from them the so shouldn't all of mankind go down to okay with that we start we know the first man his name was Adam says ran what kind of name is that says ran that the says about that first man and a bad old man he was created in our image like our form says the ra says that man is compared both to the Divine and to Earth he's compared to both of them in the composition of his body he's compared to the earth that he was taken from and his spirit is compared to the Divine that is not corpal and cannot die in other words man has two parts his body is compared to the earth his soul is compared to the heavens the ran says three lines from the end man is compared to the low and to the high how is he compared to the high how is he compared to the Supreme to the Divine in his picture in his majesty God you crowned him with honor and Majesty what honor and Majesty does man have I remember when I was a young boy not too young I asked Victor Miller what does it mean Salim he says Salim is the face of man I asked him where does it say this he said everybody knows where it says this so I said we so he tell me it's in the ran we're right here this line who magma pun of this is the image of his face with wisdom when you look at the face of man you see the nobility of the face the nobility of the facial features that is the Salim so we have one simple question man has some similarities to the Divine and some similarities to the Earth so why call himam means he was taken from the earth why look at the negative if man has two aspects why look at the negative why call him Adam why take his lowly feature and name that and this question is uh emphasized in the sa is written by the son of the freedlander the he was someone who dedicated his life to the works of the ra he published all the the Green books of the ra about 10 and his son wrote a why he asked call Adam after his Earthly features look at number four theak also writes that when Hashem created man he created him from the and the and he called him to say listen up even though your soul comes from Heaven your body is Created from the Adama and that's where it's going to return to and says the radak and most people never incline themselves to their high source only one out of a thousand most people are drawn after their lower element but even so why would God stamp this creation that has features of heaven and features of Earth as aam and we find this name is actually considered a very brilliant description of this creature because the med says that when wanted to create he consulted with who is this guy what is this is he a be is he AA is he what is it Hashem says quiet he's smarter than you he brought all the animals in front of he said to them what's their name they said we don't know he brought them in front of he said Adam what's their name oh this is a sh this is AAR this is a s this is a g and what's your name my name is Adam like w that's big that he knew his name was Adam this is his great that he was able to tell them didn't know what he is and this guy this creature proved his by saying what my name is Adam that demonstrates the greatness of man over the angels that he was able to come up with the name Adam says number eight give him the name no he named himself that the of the Torah God didn't God created it but the official name was to his official name says says at number eight Man created Adam now we learned when hasem created Adam he was crowned with great abilities Every Act that he did had ramifications throughout the Universe but when he sins says not only did he not Elevate himself he lost what he had and now he downgraded himself sha he then descended to be lowly man despicable man like it says in him look at number nine he's now compared to animals he's he's his the mush he's a parable if you want to know what is a man now man is like an animal by the way we pointed out on Wednesday from the you could look it up I believe it's page that man today was like the animals in the time of AD marish before the sin so that means Man became downgraded from Adam to beam was a different form at the time he was a much more sophisticated Supreme elevated spiritual being in other words if you want to know the downg you want to know what happened man became limited he used to be Adam now he's more like beo what do you mean we're not like a horse yes we are we are now like a horse in the time ofish before the you can imagine what kind of those uh the animals were back then they're like them today so now what we're learning is so why did they become downgraded also it it it it spoiled all of creation Now what we're learning is that man became greatly downgraded at the time of the sin which even furthers our question what is the definition how do we explain the term Adam and now we have an amazing byano the ramano that we featured on Monday Monday on Monday ramano was one of the Italian Mam and if you want to know more about him then watch Monday sh where was when ate from the forbidden fruit right sayso it says yeah it says Don't Look Down On Any Man and don't dismiss anything it sounds like a person might dismiss a thing but you'll never dismiss an Adam you might just look down on him but you'll never dismiss him entirely why wouldn't you dismiss an says it is impossible to dismiss him entirely because because man was the creation of God's handam the more a man preserves the original form of Adam you never heard such a beautiful you ready for this there are two meanings of could mean and could also come from the in what is it means what I am compared to God I'm compared to God is that reflex it I will be compared to me to God Adam could mean Earth and Adam could mean I can compare to God these are two dual meanings of Adam what are the two dual meanings of Adam Earth and compare to Hashem and it's up to you which Adam are you going to be sh W which are you going to be are you going to be the that's or are you going to be the of ad by the way what do say of me it's actually it's this p is a bad P this p is talking about the arrogance of man man thinks what it could he could fight against God but we're using it says we're bringing out from this P of the amazing capabilities that a man that a man could reach now he writes in the that if you look in barus when it talks about the name of I'll quote you the PK says like this PK says in bous when hasem created man and he brought all the animals in front of him it says like [Applause] this called names to all the animals and the birds and all the all the wild animals say we could read this P two ways he called names to all the animals and all the birds he called names not only to the animals but he also called name to himself IAM what's the trap on the word the Trum on is a z what's a Zak a line and two and two dots a line and two dots what does that mean y y k v 26 v y y every is 26 what TR is on the name of hem saying the real way Adam should be is is be comparable to God the TR on is z the TR is so he was created as comparable to yes that's what it means he so quickly fell apart okay we'll see we'll see okay um I need 10 minutes and then we for to complete this so that means has two possibilities he could descend and be he could Ascend and be like the TR on the word by the way thees writes also the same thing that the real that if a person is and he is called his real name now the says a big secret a big secret and that secret is if you take you K how do you spell y what's have y uh 20 20 hey five or hey is six six oh 26 v v hey six 44 44 with right plus the um plus the word itself 45am Adam is K spelled out is what is the name of name what so that's that's the uh that's the amazing of the of the now he says like this if you look in the you look in the in the on the in says the says like this we saw God God spoke to man God spoke to man and he lived and the very next PK is which flesh who could hear God and live so it's like you have a s first the says we saw God speak to Adam and live and then the next p says who which BOS could listen to God and live so says to answer this contradiction this is in that man has five names what are the five names of of man Adam benam is G and five names what are the five names Adam benam is the highest form is Adam Adam is considered the highest definition of man of all the terms you could refer to man Adam is is the highest definition why we're learning yes on the one hand it's but on the other hand it's that's the highest possibility so we're saying like this yeah we could hear God if we're on the then we can listen to guy but if we descend to the lowest level of Adam which is BAS then we're not going to be able to listen to and live okay so this is what we're learning so it comes out so it comes out it comes out that it comes out that there are five possibilities for man there's Adam there's benadam there's ish there's G and when Hashem created Adam his goal was that ad should be but when the came and he injected Ed him with Z so the says descended what did he descend to now all Adam is is and what aspect is he missing he's missing the he's missing theim he's missing that similarity to God the the writes if you look at number 16 writes that wanted to give mankind the possibility of of regaining that aspect of Adam that they lost so Hashem gave an open opportunity a window an open window does anybody remember until when was that window open till the DAR for one man to stand up and declare that he is going to be the tree from which man will now Ascend and regain the status of as and which man took the challenge oh that's why if you look at is given a special title what title is he given the great man why is he called the great Adam cuz he is going to be the only Elon that restores the true definition of Adam to ad all the rest of mankind stay down they're all while and the rest of they are ascending now forever to the level of as so yeah are we all Adam we're all Adam but there they're there are two types of there's of and there's who has how did we get it backu began the process of removing the poison so what we're learning is that even though we didn't see anyone say this clearly but the poison that the injected into man limited Adam's capacity now all is and loses out the possibility of now we didn't see anyone say we're going to see I found says explicitly that the of the remov the from and now today only and not how do we get it back we got it back how through from and by standing on that was how we got out the T that was Wednesday I'll tell you okay okay so now we understand look at number 18 we understand why the main creation is the main is what do you mean aren't we all yeah but we're all but we're not all mankind was stripped of through the that's why the writes in the when was created he was created only for cl to come out there was no intention for the ever come out they were not part of the plan they were not part of the plan that says R is why with what we started in the we asked why aren't called why only but as the that's only that's only now and that is why who restored us this title that's why again the calls abah and I'm going to tell you an amazing thing I've been looking for this for a very long time first of all so why does only clao have to go down to M and why not the rest of the world well first of all very simple because the purpose of going down to MIM is to rid to rid us of the Z well like onlyu took the steps necessary to become the Elon to be the tree from which would come those who could rid themselves of the the didn't go down to because they are eternally removed from the possibility of cleaning themselves for the it's only CL who's given that ability because the rest of the world they did not take Advantage when the window was open the window was open until the DAR onlyu stood up to the challenge and therefore only his descendants have the ability to go down to M but but but that says a tremendous KES something I was looking for for years you ready for this with an idea had in him what all theas of mankind and when he ate from theas yeah when he ate from the now everyone has to rectify his sin true the were only the there were no were only created out of the Tuma of the sin they weren't even there before they weren't even part of the plan like the ra wrote only CL was the original plan there was no plan for um um were like the if we could call it the weeds That Grew From the bad fruit so now you want to know why only had to go down to because the weren't even in when he ate from the there weren't that were defiled by the sin they were more they were created as a result of the disaster of the sin but they weren't defiled from the S that's why it's our responsible we were there in Adam we were the ones who are n and we're the ones who have to fix it why would they have been as a result of create them all together why because did I what was the justification for it I don't know I got to use my I just report the facts line I don't know look at number 20 what look at number 20es make Liv yeah when God created man the souls that were in were only The Souls of if not for the sin there never would have been so the asks that how could we say only CL is called Adam [Applause] but aren't don't we call All Mankind bam says the maral yeah in the vernacular everyone is called Adam but you want to know who's the the that is only but we can call in its full sense and he says if you want to know why I explained it elsewhere the question is where so that he explained in the say for Mitzvah on on page 10 look at number 22 he says basically like this and that is mankind that could think that could speak is called Adam but there's another aspect of Adam that man enjoys and that's theim and only CLA has it Salim and not and that is why in its full definition only CLA could be called and the cannot be called we look like the physically we look at them we think right we have the Torah that's different but the is the so says that by the is the main uh dimension of his existence and everything else is Tel to the that salum is a separate entity is the predominant force of the human and the the body is a separate entity from the and therefore is subsidiary to the however by the the is in the and therefore theim is not its dominant feature that's the way he explains it so what we've painted so far is a picture that even though nobody says it exactly is that man has two features Adam when Adam at from the part of his capacity of Adam was lost we would like to think it has something to do with that Z that was injected into him even though we didn't see anyone who said explicitly it was the Z that the injected that limited man's ability to function on its level of AD but based on everything we saw certainly only CL could be called in its full sense even to the point where only CL goes down to and is sponged from the and to the point where the said even they never really were even in in the first place but I found in the mar I saw this many years ago but I remembered it in the context of this year the says explicitly that it was the of the that removed from man the ad and when we stood on her and the Z ceased CL regained the and never regained that look in number 23 and with this we will conclude this segment Man was created in the image of God Soul comes from the heavens even his body comes from a whole place the place from where the world was founded he's unique among the beings down here and among the AL he put and what did that Z that will be like the rest of the where the stopped where we reached the level of where we regained so to me this was a very um ennobling idea that the word Adam has really two Dimensions to it and the main definition and the one that we should strive for is to try to elevate ourselves that not just but that to exercise our feature of theim which was minimized by the and it was expunged in and we spoke after that's why it's so important to do every time you focus on leaving MIT it expunges more and more of the Z and it elevates you more to be I wish everyone you've just
