welcome to our class on this
we're going to be learning this week a
beautiful discourse in the rebel
the name of the discourse is called oz
yoshi israel
then the jewish people sang the rebels
said this cosmetic discourse on shabbos
parish
that year shabbos parties was in the
seventh day of the month of tamils in
the year tough shin men gimmel which is
exactly 39 years ago so again the civic
discourse is based on the verse in this
week's torah portion
where the jewish people
sang shira they sang praise to hashem
and they said oh yahshua yes royal then
the jewish people sang as hashirazu
for the
well of water that was provided to them
um
when when they when they were uh needed
water so they they sang the song to
hashem to thank hashem for the for the
gift of water
so the rebel says we know that torah is
nitrous
toyr is everlasting
it means in general the whole torah is
everlasting which includes obviously
this song
now so therefore
since toyota is everlasting and
including the song so there must be a
lesson in these verses that's not only a
lesson in the past but it's an
everlasting message to each and every
one of us
and everything especially like we know
it's brought down the talmud with the
talmud discussions about the different
songs that was sung
in the betterment dash
because it says that there are three
different songs
that the jewish people sang so the
question of thomas when should they sing
them all at once or at different times
etc so the talmud says that what they
did was there were three songs they
divided it up to three songs
one shabbos they sang one song the
second shop was the second one is and
the third a different one another word
so this song
of us
they sang
every third week on the minh on the
afternoon um uh a service in the temple
which they which when they brought up
the thomas
the sacrifice of of the evening so you
see that the song is not just a song
that they sang in the past thanks for
the will but it's something which
continued on traditionally even in the
temple they sang the song so you see
that the song is not just a one time
shot it's something which continued on
and because the fact is as you sing it
in the temple
every single third shabbat when they
brought up the afternoon of sacrifices
so therefore
back to the river's point so the lesson
from it is not is a lesson which applies
to us
in present and it's an everlasting
lesson and it's an everlasting not only
to certain jewish people it's
everlasting lesson for everybody
because the fact is the song says aziyas
all the jewish people saying it so if
everybody's saying it's a lesson to
everybody it's a lesson that applies to
each and every one of us
and not only that we said a step further
because this song which is associated
with the with the well a word that the
jewish people had wanted to drink is
actually
um
is more has a more in a deeper
connection to each and every more than
the song they're saying when we left
egypt and we're saying aziyashi why
because when we left egypt which is
called the shira of the yam um what does
it say in the song when he's saying that
joshua truth actually say every day in
the prayers so it
says yoshimo you should moisturize
saying then um the jewish people so you
see from the song the song divides
mushroom
moisture moisture who had his own
identity and renee strong had their own
identity
and however when it comes to this song
our libera and allah it says no all the
jewish people sang together in other
words moisture man is not in its own
category
so you see that this song in a certain
way is more pertaining to everybody
because it's more inclusive and it
doesn't differentiate the moisture
remaining on the jewish people
and there was a
step further where we see the the the
difference between the song of of the of
the well and the song of shiraz hayam
based on what it says in the talmud the
talmud says as follows
that when it says ozil moisha in
reference when we crossed the sea we
went out of egypt and the jewish people
were referring to the song of the of the
sea
in other words the way the way the way
the jewish people sang the song was the
talmud tells us that moisture would read
the song and the jewish people didn't
sing the song they just said amen
and they responded to moisture different
ways that he said it but the point is
that you see that it's not like we all
sang it together moisturizer sang it and
we responded however this song everyone
said it together so you see there's
something unique and powerful about this
specific song that's all everyone is
unified it was all sung together
so therefore since it's all sung
together there's no difference in
moisture in the jewish people and we all
sang it together not like the sheer of
the um so you see that the lesson over
here is an everlasting lesson and so
less than it applies to each and every
one of us
so now there goes answer another
question
what does it say in the song of the
archery israel the jewish people saying
and what are we seeing i'll leave the
air that the uh the uh the the
well um should go up and along and
respond to it so everybody asks one
second aliba air means in the future and
the future should go up but the fact is
the water already we had before because
why they singing shia they're singing
shira for the for the word that they got
from the well so what does it mean ali
bear future tense
another question
also
what does it mean annually
that they responded to it that as if and
allah that responds by itself
who's responding what are they
responding it seems like as if it's
going to be an automatic response
trevor says now also we know that
generally speaking there's the physical
air there's a physical well of water a
stream of water but then do we know on a
spiritual level the air the wells
referring to the jewish people like it
says in the prophets
and over there what is the world
referring to it's referring to the
jewish people and inspiring to swim with
the souls of the jewish people and the
gospel explains in tanya in the famous
classic chapter chapter 32 that when the
jewish people with the power of the
jewish people is and the real beauty of
the jewish people is when we make our
souls the main thing and our body
secondary and that's so we can have real
unity so you see again that the song is
connected to what to the jewish people
and the spheroids according to kabbalah
what is the
el well referring to it's referring to
the idea what is somalis okay so that's
more or less the questions rubber has on
this verse the representation in order
to understand this he's going to
introduce a verse from the prophets
and the prophet says like this
so what does the prophet say
mayan is referring to
um the the the spring of water ghanim in
the garden the air is the well of mayam
khayyim
waters that's alive minnow island and it
drips down mean leboni from lebanon
that's the verse
now
is it's explained in the different
hasidic discourses from the different
khabad rebellion starting from the quti
toy which is in the altar on this
parasha up until the the acidic
discourses from the previous rubber and
specifically the acidic course from the
deck the third kabaddra and this parsha
and that that he wrote it in the in the
um
in the editions with with all the
different notes etc and he explained
they explained over there as follows
is referring to
referring to on the spiritual level
about the quality
of the souls of the jewish people that's
point number one and the ultimate
purpose while we came down to this world
so again even though it looks like a
simple verse talking about a spring of
water or a well of water
dripping down from lebanon right that's
what it looks like but according to
kabbalah that ever brings from all these
cobalt remains that explain that this
verse is not just talking i mean even on
a physical level yes but in a spiritual
level speaking about the quality of the
souls of the jewish people
and the reason
why the neshama came down to this world
and they explain as follows
the first thing what does it say
mayan the spring ghanim of the garden is
referring to the level of the neshama
level of soul the way it's on high
before it came down to this world
that's the first part of the verse
referring to the level of the soul the
way it's on high before it came down to
this world
the second part of the verse where it
speaks about bayer maim the well of
living waters
is referring to the way the soul comes
down
into the body and into this physical
world
so again the first part is where the
souls are high the second part where the
soul comes down to this world
and therefore this is the difference
between the mayan
a spring and a well
in other words because a spring what's a
spring who created the spring nobody
hashem created it
and that's why it's referring to the
soul the way it's on high
on the other hand the well has a well
happen a well a well is water on the
ground but the well the way it well
happens is when you dig when a person
goes ahead and digs then the well comes
out just like we know that the
patriarchs they were busy digging wells
and that's referring to the spiritual
service of the souls down in this world
digging wells
and that's going to explain it so again
so the first part of the verse is
referring to the soul's way they are on
high just like the spring is coming from
hashem and the second part is referring
to are the souls coming down to this
world and we know in north dakota well
you have to dig in the ground and never
explains like this
in reference to the souls the first part
the way they are in high
so it says in the prophets and a verse
as
follows hashem
swearing by hashem alakay israel the god
of the god of the jewish people i'll
share a mother t lefona like that i
stood in front of him
now what does that mean on a spiritual
level that the place where the soul
stands
is the highest level on the level when
the souls are high closest to hashem
like in the world of absolute so it's
called tahirahi it's pure
and like we say for example in the
prayers and the shabbat shalom the soul
that you gave me to hirahi so when you
say the soul that you've given me is
pure it's not talking about the soul
comes down to this world once in this
world it's not so pure it gets involved
in in the in the drama and the in the
static of the world but we're talking
the way the word the souls in the world
about us
which is actually even higher
the way the souls are carved out or
carved into under the throne of hashem
so the higher is the purest part of the
soul
now
so since the souls on high
are very very pure that's why it's
called the mayan the spring
why because housing again like we
discussed before house of house of mayan
happens comes from hashem
and as we know not only does it come
from hashem the maya because the spring
that comes from hashem and it's so pure
so the purification of a spring is only
with a drop because the spring is so
pure that it has the power to purify
and also there's no difference how it
purifies
it does it even purifies if the water is
flowing because normally if it's flowing
already it's a problem because it's
stopped but the the if something coming
from a spring it could it can purify
even if it's flowing
and also the spring has the power to
purify from the hardest levels of
impurity so you see that when you're
dealing with the finest purity you're
dealing with the sun high which is
connected to the spring and the spring
is 100 pure
and that's why it says mayan the spring
gone in plural why plural because
referring to the different levels of
grenade and alien the high level of
garden of eden and also the low level of
garden of eden
even though
there's there's infinite levels of
grenadine but generally speaking with
two there's two levels there's grenade
in the elegant the high level of grenade
in the lower level grenade them and
that's why it says mine gone in a plural
level because why because mayan is
referring to the soul the way it's you
know on the highest level of purity
but when it comes down
um to the level of ghanaian so then it
it takes it takes with it also the idea
blood of the garden of eden yeah
so that's the first level the first
levels where the souls are high
and and the and and comes that comes
down to this world and that's why it's
connected like the mayan the spring
because it's a coming from our seven has
the power to purify in all levels now
but then what happens once the soul
comes down to this world
so it comes down like it's called coming
from the highest level for going one
with hashem and coming down to this this
materialistic world that god has not
even noticed
so then in this world what's the
so-called that's called the
mayam
it's a well of living water in other
words
just like if you look at a a physical
well whatsoever
a well is basically you have water and
water goes through it it travels in in
the earth in the earth
so just like the water travels in the
earth and then you pierce the you make a
hole and the water comes out so it's
originally it was pure water it went
through the earth when you bring it out
so the same thing also for when you look
at the souls
the souls come into this world it deals
with the world that has to go through
the challenge of the world and the body
and after it goes through the the
struggles of the world then the summer
comes out
and it shines and actually goes to a
higher level
like it says that the the talmud that
the earth is basically porous it means
water can go through the earth
and and and the water goes through the
different veins on the earth and then
when you dig into the earth what does it
mean you're digging in the earth so
basically you're taking away the thing
that's covering up whether it's earth
whether it's stones uh or whatever it's
covered whatever whatever blocking the
water that's in the earth and then you
have a well and then what happens the
wealth comes and it flows from under the
earth and it comes sort of speaking mild
material that goes back and it goes back
and you can actually benefit from the
water
so the same thing also the our spiritual
work in this world is to take away just
like when you want to have a well you
have to take away the earth and the dirt
and all the the schmutz and all the junk
the same thing also our job in this
world is to take away anything that's
concealing anything that's hiding um the
the revelation of god which is on the
level of of earth and stones etc and
then when you do that then the srama
reaches the level of
it's a living it's a well which is
flowing living water now
so we learned already what so far two
important components
one is when the sum is on high which is
compared to the to the spring of water
and the second reason the comes down to
this world is compared to the well that
you go that goes through the earth but
then after the earth it comes out and
you have you have living water now
we know that's brought down many many
places to this
why does the soul come down to this
world
think about it the water was pure it
goes through the earth and then you have
the will
the soul was on high it comes through
deals with the physical body the
darkness the world then you have it you
have you have the the soul comes out let
the soul come out without dealing with
the body let the water come out without
dealing with the earth and the answer is
and i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate
it that the you read of the shaman the
summer comes down to this world which is
a urethra it's a downgrade it has to
heal the earth that's the earth
concealment
it's because of say regalia
to create a greater elevation afterwards
which in other words it's not just it
goes back to square one it goes to a
place higher than it started from
so based on this whoever explains so
since what we learned till now mayan is
the that comes directly from hashem bear
my goes to the earth and then you have
the water so based on this since your
reader
khalil the downgrade is for an upgrade
so the
actually is on a higher level than
then the spring because the spring is a
spring trade from hashem but in order to
have the bayonet
to have the water that comes through the
earth that's on the higher level same
thing also in the summer and it goes
through its challenges and it comes down
to a higher level than the shaman that
was before
and that's why the air the well what is
it called
living waters and like jefferson says
this is the difference between
a bear
and a boy they small they sound the same
a bear is spelled base olive race a well
a sound base olive race basin rage is
the same in alpha the middle a barrier
pit in the ground is base vove race
what's the difference the big difference
when you're dealing with a boy which is
basically an empty pit with the above
inside the middle of the letter what
it's basically it's it's a cistern it's
a holes water
all it does is it holds water in the
hebrew it's called it's called a mikva
it holds water
what does that mean that water isn't
that bird that pit
so that's what that's what a boy is a
boy is a system that holds water however
a bear
a well
no that's different it actually the
water is actually
flowing from the source of the water and
that's that's actually why it's called
mayam khayyam living waters
because what happens when the water goes
from its source and it goes through
the earth it goes from being called
regular my irregular water and it's
actually called mayam khayyam living
wars because able to fight it was able
to fight through the earth and come out
alive that's why it's called mayam
khayyam
and this water the water that goes
through the earth
which is called the
em is actually higher than the water
from the sea why because you go to the
sea the water is salty water however the
water in the in in the well
you know even though it started out of a
salty water because it goes through the
earth what happens is when it goes
through the veins of the earth the water
goes from being salty to being sweet
becomes water that's alive and sweet so
the same thing and and the same thing
also applies when it comes to purity in
other words there are certain things
that you can put into the to the seeds
it doesn't become pure however you put
it into the maim the living waters the
sweet water does purify it
and it purifies any impurity even the
worst type of impurity gets purified in
behind
in the water that went through the earth
so that's in the parable with the water
and the same thing applies within the
summer with the soul where the soul
originally was connected to hashem but
then it went through the body and all
the struggles of life when it comes out
and the soul is shining after a good
challenge
so what happens when the soul goes
through this world and it struggles with
the concealment and all the challenges
of the world of the of the physical
world
what happens is the soul gets elevated
to the level of mayam khayyim
waters that are alive and as then the
sun becomes really really sweet which is
much higher than regular water
and then the soul gets elevated higher
than before and it's actually called the
mayan ghanim it's got reaches a higher
level than even the idea of the the the
the um
the spring from the garden now
so that's what we learned already three
things one is the way the soul's on high
two of the way the soul comes down this
world but b and more importantly that
when the soul comes down in this world
through coming down this world it gets
elevated to a higher level just like the
idea of being
which is amazing but the other says this
spiritual work which basically means to
take away the concealment of the world
take away the concealment of godliness
and through that the soul becomes very
mankind which is a very very high level
represent it's not enough because so
that's my main god which is the first
level barryman highness the second level
if we would stop there we think okay
wonderful our job is done but the turret
doesn't stop there and it says the
ultimate goal is that the soul should
reach the level
of a noisely middle of annoying a whole
new level it's dripping down from where
from lebanon what does that mean what
does that mean lebanon explains like
this
there ever brings from tanya where the
altar explains and also it's explained
that lent in a beautiful catholic
discourse from the middle of the river
the second combined rabbi the name of
the discourse is called al tatsarasmayav
that
today
our avoido
what's our spiritual work what are we
supposed to be busy with we're supposed
to be busy with transforming our
emotions
is refined gavura is is is used where
it's supposed to be used to ferrous is
used where it's supposed to be used and
the right balance etc
are avoided
our attributes
that's what our void is today why is
that because it says in the prophets
hashem made
this against this that means if you have
a if you have
a a struggle or a challenge because
hashem made something to overcome it
there's no such thing as a one there's
no such thing as a one-way one-way
ticket there's always two ways you have
a challenge you have something to combat
it you have a combat and what a way to
deal with it that's why i shall make the
world now what does that mean
practically you know the world is like a
mirror on the physical world the
spiritual lord everything in the world
and never there was like this just like
in the spirit in the physical world
hashem gave us an instructor instructed
us
to take over the land of israel but only
to to to take over the land and to
eradicate the seven nations of the world
now physically they're nations but we're
not on this on a physical level on a
spiritual level we know conquering
heritage all means conquering our own
land of israel we are all every one of
us is the land of israel and hashem
instructed us to get rid of the seven
midos
and we have also the seven bad emotions
and our job is to refine the bad
emotions that we have
however the
the the last three of the 10 of the 10
nations which is
in the in on the in the physical world
is kain krishna
which corresponds to which three
steroids casser
um then hashem didn't tell us to conquer
and when are we going to do that that's
going to be when hashem is going to
expand the borders of israel god willing
comes so the same thing also today our
spiritual avoida is to conquer our
emotions
that's not our ability to ultimately
completely conquer it
when are we going to conquer and
transform our intellect that's going to
come
now
but to be clear to be clear because
sometimes people get the wrong message
again just to be careful whatever saying
is like this our avoider is to transform
our emotions when will you transform our
intellect or machia comes so one's going
to say that's it i shouldn't use my
brain i shouldn't use my cochon being
adapted i shouldn't use my kessler
whoever clarifies and he says very very
clearly as follows
it doesn't mean god forbid god forbid to
think that today we don't have to work
with our intellect to transform our
intellect that our muslims
our castle should be aligned with
in other words why why can't you say
that because in the fact is in order to
transform your emotions of hassan gabura
to paris
sure you have to work with your
intellect sure you have to study i'm
sure you have to meditate like for
example we know it says in the torah we
have a mitzvah to love hashem
so the question is how can you instruct
someone to love hashem it's an emotion
either you love osama you don't love
hashem
and you say you should love hashem with
your whole heart and your soul and with
your whole might how do you do it and
the answer is you're right hashem can
instruct you to love but he instructs
you to meditate first on shmaya's role
realize hashem
when a person realizes the only real
existence of hashem naturally you're
going to love hashem
so in other words
the meditation will cause us to
transform our emotions true the goal is
to love hashem but in order to love
hashem you have
meditate on that then we'll come to
loving hashem and like the ramadan says
clearly which is a jewish law it's not
the philosophy that what's the way for
us practically if we want to love hashem
and we want to be in awe of hashem says
it's jewish law practical he says when
you meditate so you see clearly in order
for love to work in order to transform
your emotions you have to meditate you
have to use your intellect you have to
use questions
and
a matter of fact if you look in the
rambam he goes into into specific of the
meditation and he uses all three levels
of khabad khachma
bino and das and he says the use of the
terms when a person used to use boeing
which is a ideabino and then you're
going to use the term
and then you use the their laida so he
uses both all three terms of
so in other words in order to have
transformation of your emotions you have
to deal with your intellect
and what happens is
when a person actually meditates in a
sincere way in a complete way
then you'll come to love hashem says i
don't love hashem okay i get it meditate
think about hashem think about the fact
that some created the world created you
maintains you gives you everything you
need you're not going to love hashem
it so it doesn't start with love
shortstop meditation first and like
jerry brings it's known the teaching of
the magadam is rich
and the way the altar explains it
when when when the verse says we are
you should love god your god so the
question is like we discussed before how
can you love hashem how can hashem
command you to love him hashem says love
him he can't either i love him i don't
love him
and the maggot of his rich explains
that the commandment is be a half days
on the meditation
so even though the mitzvot is to love
hashem
and the midst is not to meditate
so the altar explains
very simple
because since when you meditate you
automatically going to come to love
hashem
so therefore when by meditating you're
fulfilling the mitzvot via after
so
but the market is just saying is like
this
how could hashem command you to love
and the answers
through meditation
and when you you're doing meditation
that's how you're fulfilling the mitzvot
the after
so now there's what comes out from this
whole discussion
so even now you do have the work to do
with your intellect meditation
and to study
but nevertheless
meditation and studying
is not to
transform and take full control of your
intellect
it's to meditate so that you should have
love
so that your emotions should be in line
and this is the basic difference between
our spiritual work today and when
mashiach's gonna come
because right now the focus is on our
emotions
that's the focus yes we use the
intellect to bri to refine our emotions
it knows the purpose of the intellect is
to refine our emotions however mashiach
comes no it's going to be a wrap
actually literally transforming our
intellect
so based on this the arabic explains
beautifully where it says the noiselim
it flows mean levonoid lebanon level lev
lavonne what's the idea of lebanon level
level 9 close from 11 level 9.
le lavon
is referring to
casser
ambina
what's the connection between casa
garcon
says very simply
because lavonne is made up of two words
live
heart
and nun
what's what's heart and nun so we know
that is in the cabal it's brought down
many places that there's lament base
there's 32
strands of khakma
so lathe is connected even though late
sounds like a heart right but lathe is
referring to the 32 strands of
non is referring to the 50 gates of
beena
so we have already been a lave is the 32
um
strands of
known as the 50 gates of abina and what
is the literal translation of levonnie
so besides the fact which we know
lebanon is referring to the temple base
because it says in the prophets they
brought are they halloween cedar from
lebanon so you see that
lebanon is connected to the base of
megdos
but also that's that's what it says in
the prophet but also the bonnie
literally means
white
in other words love on the color loving
is white
and it's a simple color
and so knows the literal translation of
the bone is white why does simplicity
it's clear when you the color white
which sphere is it connected to
the sphere the color white is connected
to the sphere of kessler
because castor of simplicity
in the writing the other spheres other
colors take place there's a whole study
of colors according to kabbalah but
right now we're studying which color the
color of white the color white is
connect the custard custard simplicity
all different colors start after kesser
nadas and emotions etc but in kesser
it's white
so again back to the point so you see
that lavonnie is connected to what
kesser like the color of white which is
kessler
lave is connected to the 32 strands of
khakma and noon is connected to 50 gates
of bino so you have casa cacho
and that's why grabber says the ultimate
is the noise the middle bonnie because
what's lavoni referring to it's
referring to kasich bambino which
ultimately the goal is the ultimate
completion of kasir khaking which we're
going to take control over god willing
when meshiach comes in the future
now when is that going to happen it's
going to happen in the future like it
says clearly because when isam is going
to expand the borders of israel and then
what's going to be our spiritual work
the work of intellect that our mind
should be refined
but noise in malabona and kashmambina is
going to be totally one with hashem but
what's our avoidance now now our
spiritual work is to work with our
emotions
and that's the that's the spiritual work
of the of the second second part of the
verse
you know by working
digging
taking off the concealments of the
physical world
then we create mayam khaye and we create
the living water the sweet water which
is actually we said higher than mayam
ganim because that's that that that's
the that that's just the straight from
hashem but there's no effort and without
the effort you don't go to the higher
level so based on this river explains
beautifully where it says in the verse
right afterwards
referring to the well that they that
they dug
so what does kapharoa mean trevor says
who are the officers that dug these
wells it's referring to the obvious the
patriarchs abraham isaac and jacob now
we know that our voice is only three
abram isaac and jacob now the fact is
every one of the jewish people
we have
the power
and the inspiration from the from the
patriarchs so therefore
in with the with the fact that the
obvious abraham isaac and jacob were
busy digging wells
we have the power to dig our wells today
which means dig and work with our animal
soul and our body to bring out the sum
of the sweet waters of our neshama
and the and this verse has two different
types of digging one is
and one is karua what's the difference
khafuru is referring to
taking off the the thick the hard part
of the earth which basically means it's
the it's the hard and the deter you know
the hard the big darkness that we that
we confront and kuru is referring to
taking off more the refined darkness
like for example things that are done by
mistake
which comes from obviously from the
anima animal soul being uh overly
indulged which is a more of a finer type
of evil but when we do our spiritual
work of taking off the the heavy
darkness the heavy concealment and the
lighter concealment then what do we have
we have the imam khayi and we have the
the living waters of sweet waters
now so the question is
powerful so we already have our plan
we have the way in the summer is in high
we have in the shade comes down here and
through the struggle we come back
and then we have the ultimate mashiach
comes to transformer to transform our
intellect but
nevertheless and because our ability
today is to transform our emotions which
is bearing
so the question is we're busy we have a
lot of work and we have heavy work how
do we do it how do we have the power and
the strength to deal with all this
transformation and bringing out
godliness and getting off the darkness
off of us and represents the
the the what gives us the energy and the
fuel and the power to do what we have to
do it comes from prayer
when we pray not to say in the words i
avoid such feeling we pray
in other words before we do any
spiritual work we have to always start
for the prayer that's what before we
start of our day we pray that's when we
stop middle day we pray by night before
we go to sleep we pray before we eat we
make a blessing i guess you always want
to be praying praying is key
well he explains very simply because
when a person learns torah which is
important to do and do mitzvahs but when
a person learns torah so when a person's
learning
so it brings out with from within the
person that you're somebody i understand
this is my opinion etc and we know it
says clearing the talmud man malcolm who
are the king so to speak who are the
leaders or aborting the rabbis because
it creates a certain arrogance
so therefore if you want to make sure
that when you're learning
your learning should be in line with
hashem you have to pray first because
prayer creates an experience in the
person the person is buckled the person
is the level of acceptance up to the
point where it says bitterness like the
person doesn't even exist it's really
all about hashem
so that's first thing you have to pray
before you even pray
you have to meditate
on
the idea of shibisi hashem the negri
summit that i'm placing hashem before me
always
so the first step is you have to place
this from before you then prayer and
then you can study and like the algebra
writes in this in in in in in
in the in the prayer book which was the
well altered prayer book is basically
for everybody
that the the meditation
of shibisi hashem le negni summit you
have to do you have to do before even
you wash your hands in the morning
even while when you get up your hands we
know are still in pure you didn't wash
neglect you didn't wash your fingers yet
you didn't wash your hands the first
thing you have to take a minute and
think shivee see how shameless be
summoned hashem is before me
then from there you're going to pray and
then you go from study
and after we do the proper introduction
of again meditating on srivision hashem
and negan something to place hashem
before me always
and then praying
then when you go to study torah then the
studying is going to be the way it's
supposed to be why because god forbid if
it's lacking the introduction of prayer
so what happens is you can literally
learn like it tells the ethics of our
fathers unfortunately you can be magalla
upon him by turish like
you can say things in the torah which is
not in line with the jewish law where
did that come from and the answer is
because you didn't pray first but when a
person prays it's not about you or
whatever hashem says you're willing to
accept but godfrey if you don't pray
first you can have blurred vision and
skewed vision in what the torah is
saying
and like for example it says clearly in
the talmud if a person is not
meritorious the torah can become poison
because you're not going to use it the
right way in other words
the torah will come to for the person
that that that
with not the proper direction why
because again you're lacking the
introduction of prayer and shivering
negligence
on the other hand when a person prays
first
and then and then for example before you
learn torah you make the blessing that
means you're you're accepting the fact
that the torah is from hashem
and when you learn you learn in a way
that um you're learning with oh and
respect for hashem and you're possibly
even a little trembling because you're
learning hashem's torah and like the
ultimate alter explains
the reason because the fact is when a
person is learning we know so you're not
just sitting at yourself and learning
you're sitting with a friend with a
friend where you're learning by yourself
or other people hashem is learning with
you
just like a mountain terror just like
the mountain to hashem said the torah he
said the ten commandments the same
animals every time you open up a
and you're learning hashem is saying it
with you
services one second the fact is by
mountain toyo
there was big sounds there was lightning
there was a whole you know light light
and sound show but when you're learning
now you don't see lightning and you
don't see all the sounds but
nevertheless the or in the trembling
part that wasn't mountain toyo
wasn't because of the lightning and the
sound
the reason why there was lightning the
reason why there's like the reason why
people were in orange trembling not
because of lightning and sound
the reason we're on traveling is because
the verse says clearly by ye read hashem
al-harasina hashem revealed himself
and the fact is today
when you sit and learn torah by ye red
hashem
if you want to invite hashem into your
house or into your office wherever you
are in your car wherever you are your
vacation
learn hashtag will come there
because the fact is whoever sits and
learns hashem learns with you
learn how to becomes your study partner
but how does that happen
by by making sure before you learn to
pray first
and then once you pray first then you go
from prayer to the to the study hall and
you learn torah and then you go from
there and you do business you bring
hashem into every part of your life so
in other words by learning torah
then what happens is you connect you you
connect to hashem and hashem becomes par
part of your life and through that
you're able to have the strength to
bring god and godliness into the world
because otherwise you're like going to
the world and it's dark you know a
flashlight the flashlight is gets opened
and ignited by by praying first
based on this river explains beautifully
what the back to the the beginning of
the clinton discourse what's what's the
what's the song oz yoshi yasro
then the jewish people sang
in other words
what what's the verse afterwards in
order to be
in order to accomplish the spiritual
work of digging in the ground and
refining the ground and bringing out the
godliness and bringing out the well and
dealing with the with the darkness in
the world and getting the sweet waters
you need to have first a prayer and
that's why he says ozyasir
why because what is shira what's real
song song is prayer
song is prayer and prayer a song
and that's why what
everyone did together not like by the
sheer from from the um whereas moisture
was separate and and the jewish people
separate why did everyone do it together
because we know prayer has to be a part
in the community we need a minion you
need more than a minute everyone prays
together and when the person has the
proper introduction of prayer then
you'll be able to go ahead and dig and
and deal with the darkness of life and
the concealment of life you're able to
transform those emotions that we have to
do in this world
up until moshiach comes and also
transform the intellect which is
connected to the emotions
up to the point where mashiach comes
you'll be able to deal with the
transforming the intellect itself and
like the rambam says when mashiach comes
ya see gu das boirom our intellect will
be able to comprehend
the knowledge of hashem
not only knowing hashem
and serving hashem with our heart but
literally that does hashem will be able
to comprehend hashem our intellect will
be refined that our influence will see
things where hashem sees it
now the fact is
that's what we're hoping for but we all
know the ultimate rights in tanya all
the relations of the future um
is dependent on our spiritual worker now
but now we have the power now to create
the future so therefore since
we have the power now to create the
future so therefore since we want to
prepare ourselves to transforming our
intellectual comes we also need to start
working on transforming our intellect
even though we cannot have full full
transformation until mashiach we have to
start it
since that's what we're going to have in
the future comes and we do our work of
trying to transform our intellect
comprehending hashem hashem will give us
back me the connected medo
and we'll be able to um
draw in the powerful energy of the
future okay
are transforming our intellect
is going to expand the borders of the
land of israel when we're going to have
the redemption the true redemption the
complete redemption through mashiach
and let him come and redeem us and he'll
take us standing up right to eric israel
and like the rubber finishes off
beautifully the khara imam is will
happen very very soon and very very
quickly in a revealed way so here you
see another powerful beautiful civic
discourse of the rebbe
and again there's powerful messages over
here and i think you see over here the
real real avoid in this world a real
avoid in this world is
to
to to to try to get through the darkness
by transforming our emotions and we'll
have all these sweet water and
ultimately um not only the not only
sweet lord and israel ultimately will
transform our intellect we'll see things
where hashem wants him to see it and by
working on transforming our intellect
seeing what hashem wants from us like
but by by praying because praying will
give us the humility to to be able to
uh to have the power to transform the
world will all merit like jeremy says
that will have the
revelation of meshiach and will all
be able to have true transformation
intellect and god willing next class
will be your shalayim iraqi dash of
mashiach
have a great and blessed week shabua tov
