good evening welcome to tonight's
special for bringing in which tonight
we're going to be learning about gimmel
tammuz gimmel tammuz is the anniversary
of the Rebs passing which takes place in
three weekends from now for in honor of
gimmel tammuz welcome come have a seat
and since Jimmu calm is a very very
important day on the Jewish calendar on
the Habad calendar and it happens to be
as you'll see from tonight's discussion
how important it is so as a rabbi I have
a responsibility to educate you write
about the important things in your life
and if I don't teach you at which I'm
not doing such a great job okay our life
is going it's going to be even greater
and better once you done with this class
okay so we are going to talk tonight
about the idea of gimmel tammuz your mo
time as I mentioned before is the
anniversary of the robberies passing and
Jews from all over the world literally
um travel to New York to spend gimmel
tammuz at the Rebbe this year and
actually it falls out in Shabbat so you
have juice from all over the world that
will be traveling to New York to the
Rebbe ease holy resting place which is
not far from JFK Airport to spend
because chinstrap spend the weekend
there on Shabbat gimo Thomas with the
Rebbe and the real question is why is
everyone going there why people from all
over the world going to the all the
rebbe right I will be going and I you
know you guys want to join you can join
me you want to send prayers with me you
can send with me but the real question
is why is everyone going and that's the
gold size class to be educated what is
gimmel tammuz what is a Rebbe what a
Hasidim entry heard these turns before
and what this whole to do about Jamal
Thomas okay so in order to really
understand what gimmel tammuz is we have
to understand what it's a big is now it
sound Aquino is referred to as a
righteous person now we've been studying
a lot of mysticism so we know that
there's deeper depths to any word that
we discuss and the source of atomic
obviously has to be found in a Dora so
we find something interesting in the
Torah
when the Jewish people of left Egypt so
God could have done taken him out in
many ways you could open the borders and
they were walked out for some reason if
you remember the story details of the
story Moses was so to speak God's
basinger to speak the power to be to
speak to the Jewish people to you know
provide them with strength and fortitude
and faith to be able to get through the
challenges at the end which is obviously
very very challenging and confusing and
to allow them what to leave Egypt now
what's interesting is that when they
finally did leave Egypt so God made many
miracles and they sang a beautiful song
which we actually say in our prayers
every single day and what's interesting
is what the Jewish people said with the
Jewish people so the verse tells us in
in Exodus in the portion of a so
i'll read you inside it says that by
Aminu basham the Jewish people had faith
in God with a Moshe abdo and emotion is
servant so the question is a simple
question the fact the Jewish people had
faith in God I got it my God created the
world hi welcome perfect timing to see
right here God created the world got did
all these miracles so obviously right
here the sebring so they obviously had
faith in faith faith in God but that's
fine but the question is what does it
mean that they had faith in Moses and
not only that the calling of Moses his
servant so you see what's unique is not
only they have faith in God but had
faith in Moses and how they referred to
Moses they don't fertilize an ambassador
they'd only refer to him as a spokesman
they give my name an interesting name as
though who was Moses a servant of god
grant you great servant of God but what
kind of name is that they were justly so
many years and why are they calling
Moses servant so obviously these are
things which we're going to discuss as
we go through this and out as we go
through this idea so now it's going to
talk about really so what is what is
Moses and who is Moses and not only
Moses but we know that every single
generation there is
is a Moses of that generation so what is
this idea of Moses and what was always
unique about Moses now obviously we know
the technicalities what Moses
accomplished and so on and so forth um
what we're going to talk today from your
spiritual perspective what is Moses and
this will give you a whole perspective
on whom really Moses was who experts a
leader in a generation is and why is it
the people obviously cleave to a
spiritual leader and what what's the
connection that a spiritual leader has
with people is a good speaker is he
someone that aspires people what is it
what is the real spiritual dynamic of a
Jewish leader so in order to understand
is we're going to take a little a
spiritual journey an important journey a
deep journey into the process of the
creation of human beings in this world
right because you want no leaders you
got to know the person is so when you
look at the human being that's created
and exist in this world so you find
something interesting on one hand
everyone was created by God you know
through the biological of parents mother
and father a child comes out but you
find something unique that no two people
are alike this one things like this this
one things like that right to jews three
opinions may be four shules right so but
why isn't it that they should all come
out the same husband and wife who
everyone should be a cookie cutter a
saint child same brain say emotions etc
so it's brought down in Kabbalah and
explains as follows that God as we know
is the infinite power any brutes called
the orange solve the infinite power of
God God wanted to create a finite world
how do you create a from an infinite God
to a finite world now what does that
mean if you have infinite energy so it's
infinite if you have finite energy so
it's finite it's limited how do you
create the gap how do you create the
division between the two so what God did
he created something which is called its
symptom eight symptom is a contraction
or concealment of energy and as many to
zoom in till you finally get down to
this physical world so in the words of
Kabbalah and I'll explain what they mean
so in the worlds of cabal there's
general and again as many but for this
conversation there are four worlds that
God created which what I mean for Worlds
four levels of down graded of energy of
infinite energy so obviously the
original energy was Infinite in Hebrew
it's called Orion salt like that has no
end which means an infinite amount of
energy from the air God said okay we got
to create a finite world you can't just
all of a sudden create a finite world
will be a crash so he created something
which is called the world of a solute
now what is the world of a solute mean
the world of a sealant means eight so
comes from a tell close to God it's
close to the infinite power that means
in the world about see loads which by
definition means it's close to God it's
already a world it's already detached
from the infinite power but it's so
close to God that it's like a mirror
image of it in other words in the terms
of Kabbalah it's it's all good it's all
good not only told but it's so great
from dear God went and took a step down
created a new world already here you
have something which is called the
creation here you have a creation in
this world of creation it's really more
of a step down of energy you can call it
a created thing and over there it's also
all good but already not the perfect
good but all good you can't compare that
to look until is one with God so that's
like really that's like the epitome of
goods but in the world of bria it's all
good levels exactly one of the levels
second level then God went and created
the world of yet 0 formation now ready
not only of their creation is already a
form of it now in the world affirmation
according to the world koala explains it
you already have um 5050 good and bad
what means good and bad good as when you
recognize God batteries we you don't
recognize God so it's 5050 5050 shot
once you come down to the world of ASEA
that's ready with the world of creation
the physical world of creation in there
it's called the whole world bad not in a
band of evil bad in the sense that they
do not recognize God so you look at
anything in this physical world nope
there's nothing that screaming it's a
godly thing a table a chair a person etc
you have to do our nav older as we
discuss many times to create a godly
experience but by default it's a table
to cheer it's a brick it's a wall its
people not bad and evil just it's not
something which is calling out and
screaming out it's a godly thing okay so
that's the four worlds at salute bria
yet Syria hacia now what happens when a
soul and a summer which is a part of God
that comes down to this world into a
child so it's a process it has to go
down through like a journey I mean it's
going through a journey through we're
from the infinite part of God that's
when the shaman is a part of God so it's
the infinite part of God through the
world about salute through the world of
bria through the world of youth 0 into
the world of ASEA and then it comes into
the person's physical body and then
that's who the person is now in a
journey as we all know everyone has
different interests so when the soul
goes through the process 43 nine months
when the mother's pregnant when the
process starts until it actually comes
out in a physical world what happens in
that process so it depends there could
be infinite amount of combinations where
it spends its time in the journey so
let's take an extreme case you could
have one soul there's one we've got he
loves the infinite part of God and he
gets a shock he's going to rule that
salutes he's not in the infinite park
it's close to God and he hangs out there
a whole nine months finally at nine
months they say okay the mothers
delivering they pull him down from the
world about see look this soul enters
the body and he's out in this world now
what do you think this soul that spent
nine ones not cultivate himself to get
ready used to this physical world he
didn't want to get used to this world
and he comes into this physical world
what do you think it sees it sees the
light what light godly light knows it's
right doesn't notice anything physical
it could be living in this physical
world but the eyes and the mind and the
heart is totally from the world of a
solute and it only sees God in godliness
it only sees good it's like national
mind professor I mean obviously this is
an example but obviously it's much
greater than that totally that can't
relate to this materialistic world can't
understand what's going on to this like
but it's like marriage kite silly this
is a materialistic finite limited world
godliness you want infinite right that's
Anna shamma about salute one extreme
let's use another extreme and then we'll
talk about the variations the other
extreme is as soon as there was a call
we need a soul comes down he didn't
spend even two seconds that's all second
in artillery it's sarah and he spends
nine months hanging out cultivating
himself in the world of ASEA before he
enters this world and he's getting used
to all the physical right the
you-know-whats apps and games and the
text messaging and computers in
cyberspace all in the world I'll see
before he comes to this world it
materialism cars houses right volts
planes pleasures etc right comes out to
this world he can't wait to get his toys
right only thing material talk to him
about praying God forgot that a long
time ago the only excitement that the
only real reality is physical things
things that are enjoyable things are
pleasurable etc that's another extreme
and then you have obviously millions of
variations in between you know pending
on where it spent the time now so what
happens is first of all this helps you
understand what people are different
people are different the reason why the
different is depending on where they
spend time in the journey notes we know
its nature and nature and nurture right
so the nature of the soul is we're was
nurtured for those nine months in that
me down to this physical world so the
soul isn't intact until after a certain
amount of months so it cracked immediate
yes the prosecco to a 99 process
questions and karela tease and roll vs
absolutely yes correct absolutely so now
but let's let's stay focused let's see
folks an important I want anyone to get
the console for 63 years I haven't
focused once now tonight's the first
night shaklee on okay let's let's get
back okay so depending on where the soul
spent its time that's we're and that's a
type of souls can be and that's why
certain people are more into for example
let's see people more like into modern
art and drama and music you know they
could have been in the world of you know
yet 0 bri etc you know it could have
been on many many levels where it spent
its time now obviously for our
conversation a sadak someone has most
revenue or the Rebbe or a spiritual
leader who God placed in every single
generation and every generation you
always have one person one person don't
weep like call an angel but one human
being right once sold in a body real
solar body just like everyone else but
this soul we call it a neshama of at
salute it went through the process but
very quick ninety-five percent of the
time we're in a to loot so when it comes
down to this world it doesn't get lost
too distracted you can't get him excited
about anything physical he has to live
here because he's put into our body he
has to Kamino deal with the fact that he
has a physical body and limitations or
whatever the body is but the body is
actually very painful to him because
it's limiting him to be for him to be
who he is now so because it's a neshama
that solute so what happens now the
perspective of atomic of a motion
Romania or Rebbe is what totally
spiritual totally godly because it's
totally spiritual totally godly the only
thing it really cares about the kids
with everything we don't think it's
really it's
energy is where it's at spiritually is
God God godliness good etc now one might
think ah totally disconnected the world
but in the country a real topic is not
disconnected the world he'll use his
power as a godly man to help people in
this physical world you see since he's
not disconnected we just want to hang
out in the mountains and meditate all
day he's in this world any body but his
vision is how do I make this world a
more of a godly place how do I help
people with their physical needs in this
world because that's what God would do
we know God is gold multi said God does
kindness so because God is kindness a
rebbe or atopic will do kindness I'll
give you an example of the story this is
actually an ishing story when the Rebbe
became the Rebbe so the first Hasidic
discourse the Rebbe said and we know
that this course is the most powerful
part the highest level of mysticism and
whenever you would say us like this
course he would actually say it from
Devon prophecy his soul will almost like
leave his body in a certain way I'm I
think it's a known fact whenever we
would say to this course we have to hold
on to something physical because his
soul literally can leave his body so the
first Pacific discourse Derby said when
it became a Rebbe in that discourse
itself he set up he said many stories
but i want to share one story that he
shared about the first commander of me
the alte Remy the story that he shared
about the altar was as follows now I
need to imagine this we've opened his
shoe Liam kipper right the holiest day
of the year and fasting it's a holy day
blog preparation and the author week
comes to shul it does he's the Rebbe
wasn't just a congregant he was the
Rebbe of the show so you commandos he's
sitting up front with his house over his
head you know in deep meditation praying
for himself and praying for his
community and praying for all Jews all
over the world and he's sitting in the
middle of the prey on Yom Kippur now
remember Jim Kippur yom kippur you not
to do any forbidden labor like Shabbat
etc and almost had a middle of the
prayer while he's praying for himself
his family's community etc he steps up
on these you know people
maybe we have to go to the restroom you
no one asked questions he leaves for a
while turns out we're in the rebbe go
it's our to see what happened that
everybody goes to show in Kippur how you
can stay home everyone goes to show
husbands wives kids whoever every all
ages everyone goes to shul Yom Kippur
you find everyone in school that's why
unfortunately the famous yom kippur war
they knew when to attack when you ever
will be in shul so that's where that's
the age-old secret Yom Kippur where
people people are unsure weird there we
go at the outskirts of the town there
was a woman who had just given birth and
she was home and no one was home and she
was very very cold and she was very very
hungry everybody knows that a woman that
gave birth that's cold and hungry it's
pretty dangerous actually deadly
dangerous and it's actually a law in the
court of Jewish law for a woman like
that even though normally without a
cooking show banner incog but someone
it's in a deathly situation they might
there there in he would copy conifers
you allowed to anything for them for
Shabbat and unclog and the other went to
the house chopped wood made a fire
cooked for her some soup fed her gave
her what you need to eat and went back
to shore now no one's questioning so it
also be the everything according to
Jewish law ladies darling the real
question is and it's a deep question the
rebbe discussed this once I read for
bragging he said the alter rebbe take
this thing about so minute it's sitting
in shul yom kippur praying for his whole
community what do you think is thinking
about God this community etc how is it
that all of a sudden his head he gets a
knock on the door guess what the lady
needs help and the answer door begins
that's exactly the point a real Rebbe
and a real sadak even while they're
praying for themselves their family
their community if there is somebody
somewhere anyway in the world that has a
need even materialistic need they're
cold
they need some soup they need some water
the rebbe will feel it act on it and
make sure to provide the person they're
need their need or their needs just one
more story and everyone like stories
right this is a fast forward to the
seven generations later with the Rebbe
now we all know there's so many stories
of the Rebbe there really is so many
stories that Webbie we read every week
you know from Jenn puts out a story and
about the wrongness stories a lot of
books we have a stories and reading
stories of revs and it's a deacon
righteous people's very very beneficial
for spiritual growth because it opens up
your morning to whole different level of
seeing things true gonna soon talk about
what does it mean to see things from a
different perspective so there was once
a couple that lived in Israel and they
decided one day they wanted a move away
with ethical they move the way to
Tasmania they weren't with her just they
weren't involved in anything formerly
Jewish freedom you went to synagogue
what's this mania in Tasmania it was no
school was 30 families that would get
together and just like do like a service
because you know Jews like getting
together and shabbat friday night etc
and they had a song on this one help
them with the service this would help
them load bar torah and then the person
left and they were looking for someone
to help them it's an island Tasmania's
and oil in the other side of the world
look nice me the prisons so they heard
someone said they heard this Israeli guy
and you know in living in Tasmania Haven
Israeli guy in your mind right away the
religious he's Jewish he knows the whole
total so they come to this couple um his
name is Mikhail sulfur his wife and they
say we heard you're from Israel are you
guess what hasn't left we need someone
to help us in the service he goes I
never was gonna show my life wrong guy
given your is real he says wrong guy
never wind i'm not interested in secular
Jew but they finally but they realize
you know when you're when you're thirsty
guess what you're gonna get water from
if the person has the water you're going
to get it because you're thirsty and
they begged me plead and they came back
so many times finally said okay fine you
know what I'll make a deal with you I'm
gonna come but it's not religious I'm
just coming to help you with ebru and
you know I'll get you through it but I
want to get a Melanie's religious stuff
he said fine no problem
teachers we don't care what your
motivates and sheriff he came and helped
him out but what happens is with Judaism
everyone knows this that once you start
studying Judaism irrelevant for what
reason yes your neshama your soul that
really wants it it's starved and
dehydrated all of a sudden like comes
alive again and once more it's a natural
thing it's a natural thing so as the him
in his wife you know start to teach
people they felt great and as they felt
great they want more of it but at some
point they really had nothing to teach
them so one day his wife sits down and
opens her eyes and just talks to gus's
God you got to send me someone here to
teach me Torah I'm trying to teach you
to you but I love those Lee Jung please
send me someone sure enough she finished
a prayer a short while later out of the
blue a rabbi shows up and tells me a
rabbi you know in a black hat you know
the whole garment and I think what in
the world is guys doing here and they
meet him they start off with him and
they Psalm well you know maybe you can
help us rule about they have the little
shul here we get together making sure
sure no problem he came to the house he
told her everything she needs to know
together to the next level she didn't
even asked him why he came what the
story was a while later as they became
friendly these families one day um this
woman was speaking to this rabbi's
daughter says you know it tells the
whole story that give you with the what
happened and this your your father
showed up she's you know what's funny
now maybe upstart part of the story cuz
I'd of the blue my father gets a message
from the Rebbe that you should go and
help the Jews in an island off Australia
in Tasmania that need your help and sure
enough the Rebbe put the two together so
you see a Rebbe as much as he's like
this Nashawn without salute that you
think that doesn't it's not relate it's
not related to reality is very very
muchly related to reality and really
skiers and concern about every single
person exactly yes um now so here is the
big question so what practically
speaking what does the Ruby come to
teach us so we know it's
as that motor ave know had an
interesting title anyone on foreigners
title was or besides motor babies Moshe
art teacher what what is he called in
what is he called father what Moshe was
called the riot mayhem la raya comes
from a shepherd Mahama is from faith so
most are being shepherded us with faith
what does that mean moshe rabbeinu came
and taught us faith now what does that
mean trait so first let's understand
what faith is faith means like this
faith means very very simple we all know
that God gave us a brain you can figure
things out the right way the wrong way
but we have a brain to figure things out
we can feel things right we can do
things all important or great however as
much as you can understand things you
limited as much as you can feel things
you limited faith is the as you know the
expression where intellect ends that's
what faith begins faith is the packet
gives you the power now I need to
understand things to see things with
faith you can see the truth now so
therefore since the Rebbe what what was
what we say before what's already a soul
of a solute what does that mean he sees
garden godliness we pending on whatever
we level at tables cheers boats planes
toys right trips enjoyment that's really
to us we can see the way I let in a
charm of a tulip sees it we can't we
don't have that soul but the rabi's job
is to come and tell us it's all great
play with all the toys but guess what is
a government world and make sure that
when you eat you make the blessing
because this way you'll elevate what
you're eating make sure to spend your
time studying Torah this way whatever
you're doing will be infused with the
energy of Torah make sure to do mitts
vote make sure to give charity make sure
to pray in this way you'll have a much
more meaningful life we don't see it
that way but the Rebbe is here to teach
us that we not only
should understand it we should actually
see it there every gives us the power
and the opportunity to have faith in God
which obviously faith is a tremendous
power that will allow us to connect in a
much different level in other words like
this let me give you a Michelle no
mysticism is full with michelle dean why
we use my sup Michelle's analogizing an
analogy good because analogy allows you
the opportunity to do what to see things
that's very hard to see so these the
story told of in the olden days you know
when someone rented a house on in or an
apartment so you paid rent just like
today one state you can pay they evict
you in those days you didn't pay and
your old back rent what do they do now
you want to get the money so the Pirates
would have this big pit in the ground
almost like an underground the house you
didn't pay they would take you you your
family put your pet and then we've sent
you down every day don't give son you
open the pit they would send down some
food some drink and one day a friend a
neighbor relative would have pity on you
and you would come and say how much is
the debt and you pay it off and that's
how you go out and that's how they would
collect you know the death that was old
that's how it worked then okay house
back in England there you go there you
go there you go okay um okay now so what
happened so the analogy be givers like
this the masala the parable so a family
came right they couldn't pay the parts
throws them in there no one came took
them out meanwhile another family goes
down there etc before you know it
there's like a whole lingyun of families
a whole underground world like a whole
new on the great guy you got it so
you're getting into the world now so
there's an underground world that was
sent to the pit guess what it's not a
bad life they send you food they give
you water you don't the panty bills life
is good it's uncle who pays the bill
makes like you don't got ya life is good
now what happened and you start getting
used to it so you don't even pray to God
to send you someone
save you you think it's okay life and
all of a sudden you know you have kids
and their kids have kids before you know
there's like whole a whole world taking
place on the ground on the ground the
whole life a whole like off the whole
family a whole generation and before you
know the next generation right another
generation and every single day open up
a ceiling tile open someone throws down
some water someone throws down some some
food and they have a little sunlight for
those few minutes and life goes on they
stopped even looking up beta start cars
life is wonderful and here's living
several generations of families now
reality in the pit they would you know
hang out and would make sure they would
have fun whatever they did in the
independent life but they always spoke
about life in the real world now you
have to really the several generations
living there so you have like the
grandfather's the great grandfather's
that actually once lived in the real
world the ones that rented the Pirates
one that knew the real world they knew
the real world they live the real world
so to them the real world is real
unfortunately on the pit and they know
this is not the life but that's where
the stuck right now the next generation
ready that didn't live there but we're
very close to their parents and heard
all the stories so they don't see the
real world they don't see it but they
heard it so much and all the different
stories that they believe it they
believe it they understand that it makes
sense town etc they never saw it then
you have already a generation after that
they stopped believing it that's bomb
Isis stories made up stories this is the
real world and to them it's the real
world what are they note from another
world they never what they never lived
there they don't believe all these
stories everything's taken care of them
in this world this net world now the
reality is like this in these three
generations who do you think you're
closer the people that lives there
and the people that believe it or the or
both people that never never lived there
who do you think is more more more in
line the people that live there and the
people to believe it they're more in
line the one that doesn't believe
they're totally disconnected generation
right but the truth is not so the people
that lived there saw it the people that
didn't live there they're really both
connected one believes one doesn't
believe one understands that one doesn't
understand it right but now in
irrelevant all these three cases what
happens if one day right you're living
and get yourself right you're into this
world and then open the door and instead
of sending down food and water or the
shell food in wanted to but I couldn't
take that with everybody but with the
food and water they send down somebody
that actually a new person they haven't
sent down once in the last 50 years from
that world but this person is like a
real inspirational speaker and a
motivator and they second they drop down
the pit he comes down he goes oh my gosh
I want out of here but he knows he wants
to really help these people he starts
talking to them not like the
grandparents who told them you know they
already gave up hope he says some guys
what are you doing here you need to
somehow break out of here you got like
used to this world you're used to this
you're happy here there's nothing you
know we have out there we have planes we
have buses we have we have transfer
weakness home there's such a huge world
map that we can go travel is this
everything there this food there's
entertainment as people this is like a
joke and it comes tell them what he is
doing here I mean this is like you're
wasting your life away when you can be
living a life so advanced and so
developed what's the difference between
this person and the first that the
grandparents showed us be there in there
because the grandparents basically they
knew was a great life but they didn't
really see the great life up there this
person knows the real life believes in
the life
and knows this is nourished kite here
and knows these people don't belong here
what do they really belong up there the
same thing also which is an analogy for
our life we each have a godly soul we
have a godly soul the godly saw was
placed in his body and that's the deal
with this physical world so for most of
us true the godly soul knows is a God
but because it took the elevator down
when it came down to the swirl burhan
got necia it gets used to the world it
forgets a little bit God so what happens
God places in every generation a Rebbe a
leader who even though he's in the pit
with us he is in a pit with us he's in
this world his whole his soul is also in
a body but guess what he is not letting
go he is relentless no guys what's the
real world godliness why me why we
settling to list a finite simple life be
so invested in them in the materialistic
world there's so much more to this world
God is reality and that is basically
what a remedy is a Rebbe is placed in
this generation for what so we should
have somebody should wake us up from our
sleep and to teach us not to settle for
a life which hat which doesn't have real
faith and real vision and to know what
the real truth is in other words like
for example I don't if you know but like
people would right to the ribs from all
over the world and they write them you
know issues they have etc so a lot of
times I would say check your mezuzahs
and a lot of times what is the checking
this does I have to do with the issue
I'm asking about what's the connection
or you say check its fill in or for
example stop keeping kosher you vote
many many letters of you encourage
people doing its vote why did what was
the connection the answer is very simple
whatwhat's again what's the goal of a
Rebbe to inspire you that what's what's
the reality of life what makes the world
tick God and godliness you have an issue
you got a problem health financial
whatever it may be who's the answer
who's going to do it all for you
God check the mezuzah are you making
sure the things God asked you to do is
correct it's just a wake-up call
perspective are you putting on tall
every day are you keeping kosher Shabbat
whatever it may be the point is Robbie's
giving you a shift to realize what is
real what's real is is guarding
godliness in other words it's not gone
forbid the river here to take away your
avodah and to give you a free ride on
contrary there are bees here to give you
the ability and to empower you to
connect the god with the gifts that you
have you know the famous another I'll
give me another interesting story about
to bring that idea the revving is here
to empower you to do with the gifts that
you have those yerby is not here shawn
welcomed by the rebbe is not here to to
get you search me to have a free while
you're not due east folks to debbie want
you to do what you spoke to so for
example the stories like this famous
story but i think it really brings out
the point very very well there was once
a jew living in croco croco and he's
living in krakow and he has a dream um
he has a dream because he's struggling
so he prays to god god help me he has a
dream that in prague and in the dream
they showed him the city of Prague and
they shown this beautiful city and they
taken these it's not zooming into like a
street with a bridge and they show him
at the foot of the bridge right there is
a treasure go to go to Prague go dig
there you'll be rich you'll want to have
to any complain anymore you've got to
take your family for a long time gets up
from get something asleep what do you
think he's gonna do he ain't wasting a
second he's tried everything he doesn't
penny he has nothing to lose nothing to
lose he might gain a big treasure sure
enough he gets on foot and he's heading
up ever ask me going I'll be back and he
heads from Krakow out the Prague and
he's excited it comes to product
exhausted he's worn out but he knows
listen Gus what he finds his treasure
about to buy servants to carry a moment
a rolls-royce undercarriage since it was
worthwhile the other ok so comes in
as we all know one problem what's the
problem the bridge we want to start
digging unfortunately is guarded because
it's a very very very very important
place and the brita bridget the bridge
is guarded so the bridge is guarded and
everything he wants to go there the
soldier notices him and he tries to like
you know wait to this whole just look
the other way and he tries this creep
over and he tries getting closer and he
tries to outsmart the soldier at some
point the soldier notice them he knows
the soldier and they finally realize
okay we gotta talk so the soldiers what
were you doing here you know it says
that you know it's a place you can't
just go over and do he want what are you
looking for see really you know what he
realize he's not gonna be able to avoid
the issue so he's a smart Jewish boy he
does you know I make a deal with you hey
Felsen tells the whole story the dream
is if you let me dig i'll give you a
part of it it's not a bad deal as the
guys no way right am all right so the
guy says to him i hear you but you know
what the only problem happens like this
he tells him last night i was sleeping
and I had a dream and in my dream I saw
the street in cutting in Krakow um and
this night he names name in a street my
street and this in his house and he
describes the guys house it's around his
house in the house in the kitchen and he
describes the kitchen under the oven
there's a treasure hey am I gonna go
travel from now from Prague to Krakow to
this house on this mystery and pull out
the oven and dig for the treasure know
what are you making you so silly go back
to sleep there goes oh guess what he
heads right back home finally makes it
home he's exhausted worn out come sit to
the house like a madman it's middle of
an ivory one sleeping grabs and stove
pulls it out gets a broom or shovel such
cracking the floor and guess what he
finds the treasure what's the point of
the story the point that a story is the
rebbe is not here to give you a free
ride
you gotta dig and you gotta dig in your
own backyard the Rebs goal is for you to
to waking you up to have faith to see
that what that God is the real reality
but do the work do the work because in
your backyard we each have treasures
every one of us have treasures we have
treasures every single Jew every single
person is full of treasures we have
treasures that we're able to make this
world a better place we're able to live
it more of a happier and a meaningful um
peaceful life for ourselves for our
families for our communities the
refugees here to inspire us but to
inspire us not to be invalids god forbid
but to empower us to do the work and
find the treasures that we each have so
now here comes the big question i asked
the beginning in the class so why do
people go to the O elderly and people
study the rabi's teachings and so on and
so forth so here is a very very
important point and I'll explain to you
and I'll end it off with a beautiful
story in the Torah the important point
is like this because ultimately since
the Rebbe is a neshama of a solute a
soul of the level of a solute we all
have souls so our soul we all have souls
and the truth is every one of our souls
come from the same place our soul the
rebbe soul all comes from the same place
it all comes from God so in other words
souls talk soul language physical people
talk physical language but souls talk so
language so if you have a soul that's on
whatever level attacked and you want
your soul to be inspired of a different
reality and you want a soul to inspire
it how you gonna do it you talked two
piece of cheesecake as soon as she's not
gonna work you have to go to our Rebbe
at sadak who has the same Souls you have
from the same source obviously yours
somehow got
little you know cloud in a little bit
the journey it came different than
whatever you want to call the term for
it so you want to take your soul you
want to bring your soul your souls
within you right you can't send it FedEx
it's with you you go wherever you go
your soul is with you so you want to
take your soul travel with your soul to
the Rebbe because we know that when
atomic passed away the most powerful
part of the soul is hovering over his
grave so you want to go to whether i
beez grave was or where we lived the
Derby study told me to go to the Rubies
place where is office where he's
studying Torah it's ended up we prayed
and you go there so what happens when
you get there what happens who talks the
souls talk and the Rebbe soul talks to
your soul and tells them about some
upgrades you can take in life and how
your soul can live a more powerful
beautiful life another like this if you
study Torah and if you pray and you do
metro that's great but guess what you're
missing one important Kiki important
thing no one's talking to your soul
assault look like a higher level so it
knows you can study total you can pray
you can be religious and everything if
you don't connect to the topic you're
missing out a key important key
component that your soul doesn't have a
friend not only a friend a mentor i
mentor he doesn't have a mentor that's a
very high level that can inspire your
soul to take the elevation and that's
why we go to the Oval the Rebbe you go
to the Rebbe synagogue we prayed he
studied or we have thank God a lot of
rubbish books here so we actually you
know we study we learn through these
teachings whether it's the clinic
discourse in view saturday morning or if
you want online you can talk about that
org or rhetoric fa you can listen
different lectures and classes of the
Rebbe teachings because through the
teachings of the Rebbe that's how the
souls communicate and the soul of the
Rebbe could teach you guess what you got
elevate it there's more to life because
whatever you can someone can explain to
you could explain to yourself it's
intellect to intellect talking
elevation as cat cat is maxed out in the
world of intellect when souls talk it's
a whole different world that's talking
it's a world of soul that's connecting
and that can allow you to gross your
soul to grow and once your souls on a
different level it will totally pick you
up and you can live and a whole
different experience of life a whole
different level a piece a whole
different level of joy all different
level of pleasure not physical pleasure
real spiritual pleasure like we know we
discussed many times and mysticism kind
of the highest level of you know Kesser
they have real pleasure of life you can
only get that when the soul is in sync
with the rebbe and looking at life from
hold up in perspective and that's to
finish off um this important point about
going to a Rebbe and it's fascinating
because there's not a new concept this
goes back to at times of Moses we know
most was the first right Rebbe so to
speak but you mean wash a moshav though
so you find something very interesting
in the Torah so it's just like this it
says that most of a new father-in-law
yes row so it says that he was not there
when all the miracles happen so parshas
year old Jethro opens up it says the
east- recording the young yes sir he was
the priest a minion he was a priest the
fall in love Mancha and he heard the
talk versus the verses everything that
God did to Moses and to the Jewish
people and took them out of Egypt right
so the verse is very very clear Jethro
here's however he heard right news of
those days it surely wasn't you know
what's a nap or texting or emailing
whatever they spread the news those days
and he is everything that happened and
he here specifically what God did to the
jute Moses and the Jewish people and he
took them out of Egypt right I think the
verse is very very clear sera she says
wow she asks a question least when you
throw and Ron she has much more shallow
but what in his show here that he came
now that's a strange question the toll
was very clear he heard what he did for
Moses in the Jewish people he took them
out of Egypt so what's wrong he's
questioned to begin with what did he
hear any came what I mean
hotels where he her knee came sera she
answers and says Korea swamps oof he
heard the splitting of the sea and
Mohammed amolik the war of amalek you
know the EMA like came and thought the
Jewish people when they came out of
Egypt so first of was rushing at the
throne the verse says specifically that
he heard that God took him out of Egypt
so here it's but so he doesn't say he
took him out of Egypt he says something
specific he split the seed and then he
says it more of a mullick divert or
doesn't say that so the rebbe doctor I
heard fascinating insight as follows
Rocky's questions that wha-what Bistro
here with the Torah tells us what he
heard Raj she adds an extra worthy mosh
mosh a MOBA what a gyro here Ubar that
caused him to come and it was like this
he heard great wonderful but after he
heard what you sure do he came who'd he
come to came to Moses so Ashley's
questions why did he come he heard
wonderful but what caused him to come
what does roster say here are two things
the splitting of the sea and the war of
a mulling now that's totally two
different worlds splitting the sea is a
miracle guarded and the war of ammo lake
is terrible thing that a nation did to
the Jewish people after God saved them
and matter fact till today we're
obligated her rates name of amalek he
doesn't mention the fact that we
defeated our mullick or anything he
talks to war of the mullick so the
explanation is brought down his very
very powerful and says like this yes
Troy here's something strange God the
God of all world decided to take the
Jewish people out of Egypt brought the
10 plays split the sea there was no one
at that point at questioned that there's
a God in the world and how great God is
at that point the world pottery was
going around saying oh my gosh God is
the God the one that didn't believe he
was going around telling from God is the
God
right Korea Sam sauce but then you see
here something else and this really
bothered what do you hear after all this
doing everyone knew God is God a male a
nation can come and start up with people
that God just saved technically starting
up with God how can such thing happened
has didn't happen how do people do that
so yes Troy came to the conclusion and
said oh my gosh you know how that
happened it's very simple because since
God created them and the Amalekites are
not connected to Moses and therefore
they had no one to give them soul talk
that guess what guys we gotta behave
there's a God in the world they didn't
have a leader like Moses he goes guess
what I can be the greatest guy I don't
go get myself an education for Moses
I'll be the same imma like I'll be the
same rebel that will rebel against God
so knows what is raunchy saying ma
smoosh what corsten to come because he
realized guess what you can you can see
all these miracles and we all experience
miracles but if you don't come and plug
in with the Moshe that leader the
generation and you dont cultivate your
soul your soul is not educated that
there's a higher way of looking at
things you can unfortunately end up like
I'm alike so in other words what do you
see from this whole story how important
it is besides the studying and the
miracles and everything but if you want
to remain high level true you got to
study and you gotta pray and you gotta
do mitzvahs but you got to connect to
the river whether you go to the ravine
you want to send a letter you just want
to study his teachings whatever it is
make sure to stay connected to the rebbe
this way your soul will be plugged in to
the most powerful soul that exists in
this world and by that your soul will be
elevated and your soul will see things
from a whole different perspective
