it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi megaliths welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is practiced by a rock the question of
the week is how do you know when you're
truly free so in this week's Torah
portion tosh.0 we read about a answer to
a conversation that took place in last
week's Torah portion when most of our
being to win to try to help and take the
people out of Egypt Cairo made it harder
for the Jewish people
so most Romanian says to God why are you
doing this you're making it worse for
the Jewish people so this week's Torah
portion God says to Moshe Rabbeinu
any action I am you cave of K I am this
God which is infinite and I and then he
says I prepared to Abraham Isaac and
Jacob with kale shopping which is a
limited part of the infinite part a part
of God and the infinite part of God I
did not reveal to them so the Rebbe asks
a question they alter any quotes from
the alter rebbe here what's important is
for God to tell him I am the infinite
God why is it so important to tell him
but the Abraham Isaac and Jacob they did
not experience this level of God and the
Rebbe explains that there's a reason
because God was telling him that I am
going to allow you to experience the
infinite part of God
however the patriarchs could not
experience it why was he telling you for
this them because why are the Jewish
people suffering because they're in
exile and what the God was telling Moshe
Rabbeinu
if you want to experience the highest
level the infinite part of God you'd
cave of K it's a prerequisite that you
have to go through challenges Abraham
Isaac and Jacob yes they were the
patriarchs and they were special and
powerful people however because they did
not have these type of challenges of
Exile the max they were able to reach
was chaos and I which is the limited the
infinite part of the finite part of God
versus the the the infinite part of God
so in other words if you want to
experience the infinite part of God the
only way you can experience that is what
only through challenge
one goes through what does it mean the
infinite part of God the infinite part
God explained its explained in kasi dude
and Kabbalah in many places the infinite
part of God was that mean it's infinite
infinite means yes and no was the same
thing in other words their ever God and
asking you to do if he's asking yes it's
great if it's no it's also great because
it's coming from God that means when a
person is in exile what's the main thing
yeah it's hard it's difficult but if
this is what God wants me to do I am
ready to do it and that ultimately is
the greatest level of freedom so in
other words how do you know if you're
really really free and experiencing true
freedom when you're able to connect to
God whether it's a yes or a No it means
whether you agree or don't agree your to
understanding you don't understand
either what you're connecting to Ghana
you're realizing God runs the world that
is true freedom
