welcome to this week's class on so this
we're going to be learning a beautiful
discourse in the river the name of the
acidic discourse is called Yehuda the
rebel said this Hasidic discourse from
Shabba is
which in that year
it was in the 16th day of the month of
Tavis in the year tough Shin member of
37 years ago so again the discourse is
based on the verse and this week October
portion where yaakovino is blessing his
children and He blesses his child Yehuda
and he says Yehuda
to you the your your brothers are going
to acknowledge you
so the river brings from the outer
rubber that he explains in his classical
works and the Powershell and Toyota air
and the same thing also in the acidic
discourses afterwards a those that were
printed and those that are still in in
manuscript form and he explains over
there what's the spiritual idea of
yahudah yahoodah comes from the word or
upon now when he was born his mother
said now I'm going to acknowledge and
thank Hassan when do you think Hashem so
a thanking Hashem comes from a place in
Kabbalah said in Hebrew I'll translate
in place of what a Bittle when a person
is the level of acceptance that's when
you weren't ready to thank Assam and
acknowledge Him for his Soul's greatness
so again what does Yehuda mean Yahoo
this representative idea Bittle
acceptance that was his real power you
know as we all know yood is strong what
was his strength his strength was that
he had Bittle he had acceptance
now before they explain Yehuda on the
level of acceptance the power of vital
so first they explain the spiritual
significance of the other tribes who
were the tribes before you who thus you
have ruvain shimmering Levy who before
yahudah and they explain to their as
follows what is the idea what does
ruvane represented on the spiritual
level because so ruvane when he was born
his mother said
in other words what does that mean so
Reuben comes from her e of the sea what
does that mean practically on our level
when we serve God in the level of ruia
we see godliness so Reuben comes when we
serve God when we see godness godliness
is revealed to us when we see God in
other words and whoever explains like
this what does seeing mean seeing means
something which is close in other words
so basically it's serving God in a way
the regardless involved in the world and
you see God in the world and like the
verse says and I'll say in Hebrew I'll
translate
um
pick up your eyes on high and see who
created this so you're able to see in
the creation of The World God so when a
person meditates
and you meditate in the greatness of God
and as the expression is
Hashem how the greatness of Hashem how
great it is
so in other words when you think about
how great God is how is how God created
the world maintains the world so in
Kabbalah that's cold that's the way God
is my malikal almond the way God fills
the world so when you look into the
world and when you meditate when you
think a little bit you'll see God
running the show
now so where does this meditation come
from it's not from an aloof meditation
which is not grounded in reality but
this meditation comes from being
grounded in reality so this is called
real you see godliness it's closeness
that you see God in the world so when
you see it and you feel it then you come
to the level of wealth of Hashem
love persons the avoid of roofing is
when you see God into the world and by
seeing God you come to love a God you're
a coach where it says
there's no great spiritual work like
this the work of loving Hashem and love
comes from a closeness against us to
recap what he's explaining is what is
the Abode of ruvane the avoid of Rubin
is when you see godliness through
meditation realizing that God created
and maintains the world and that will
bring you to loving Hashem so Reuben is
seeing godliness and and therefore
you'll love our son
who's the next to the try the next one
is Shimon what is shiman so when he was
born so what did his mother says
what does that mean practically on a
spiritual level it's referring to when
we serve God when we hear godliness
hearing godliness in other words when do
you see like Groove and you see you see
things that are in front of you what do
you have to hear things that you don't
see so you hear about it so hearing is
hearing about something which is not
which is not close in other words so
what is it referring to it's referring
to serving God which things which are
disconnected and far from the from the
physical reality of the world in other
words so the the spiritual avoid is what
you hear
and you understand from things which are
far away and when a person meditates on
things that are far away so what is what
emotion does that awake within the
person so when it's far away and you
hear about it it creates a feeling of
Euro of all because when you're close to
it like Ruben you see it and you feel it
and you understand it and you can relate
this that you love it on the other hand
when you're just hearing things from the
far you're that creates an expression of
Europe it's against the shimlines coming
from hearing hearing from Far which
creates the emotion of euras Hashem
so something we have Yehuda which we
started which was a bit though but then
we went backtrack let's start with the
uvane which is to see close and it's
avaz Hashem sriman is to hear from
foreign and then we come to the level of
Levy what is lady like it said like the
like when his mother said when he was
born her Palm you love it
now my ishi my man is going to cleave to
me in other words what does he loving
mean coming from the word of cleaving
which is basically connection and
becoming one
what does that mean practically on a
spiritual level that's practically a
means when we when do the midst of
Hashem commanders to do this 613
Commandments 248 positive 365 negative
we do the mid slaves so what is a
midsole Mitzvah constant word of Hebrew
creates a connection and when you do the
mid so you literally become one with the
I'll say in Hebrew I'll translate
when you do the mystery you literally
cleave and become one with one with
Hashem so lady comes from an idea of
cleaving cleaving we we cleave to Hashem
by doing hashanah's mitzvahs
now so again just to recap before we go
for forward so we learned that Reuben is
when you see godliness it's close to
Molly column that
createsham as you hear from far and that
creates you as Hashem and Lady is when
you do a Mitzvah you and you create a
deep connection with the essence of
Hashem through doing the mitzvahs
that was going to explain the connection
how it flows in other words why does
Lady the mix voice the the connection
come only after Ruben which is love and
after shimmering which is what which is
Europe why does it come afterwards I
never explained like this because the
fact is what is the source what is the
energy that drives us to do all the 248
positive Commandments another Mitzvah
another Mysteries Allah for Hashem love
comes first when you have love for
Hashem 248 minutes is very very easy if
you don't have the love every mixer
becomes a whole struggle why am I doing
it and it's so much and it's so hard Etc
so love is the driving force for the
positive Commandments
year on the other hand you're in
aubashem that's the source of not
wanting to transgress you don't want to
be disconnected from Hashem and that
will help you not transgressing the 365
negative commandments so in other words
again after Hashem is a source for all
the positive Commandments 248 years
Hashem is a source for the negative
Commandments 365 which is generally
speaking it's a terminology will I'll
I'll save an email translated it's
generally the idea of surmeira going
away from Evil and it was not
transgressional to 360 our Commandments
and I say to even doing the mid place
which in sir me right now say time you
included and you have all the Netflix
the stormy rise the 365 negative and the
assay title of 248 positive now
how does that happen that happens after
the introduction of hours for seven
years Hashem and then you come to the
level of you love is which is basically
doing the mitchellized which creates the
connection so when I was playing
beautifully saying listen why does it
flow from Ruben to Levy because again
ruvain comes first you have to love
Hashem Sherman comes second you know of
a sudden once you are no one then you
love Hashem then you have lady then you
do all the midst ways they come they the
Mitchells come and creates the beautiful
connection
which basically the the third level of
you love it
comes after you have the Abba and the
year first because once you have almond
you then you do all the metroids and
that's why Durban says it says he loves
it says you love her he's going to
cleave and what is what is the person
called it's called ishi what's the idea
of ishi so ishi is made up
of Aisha Lee e c my fire what does it
mean by my fire so it's referring to the
the fire that's down here in this world
and the fire which is on on high it
becomes my fire the the hashem's fire
and I probably get become one which is
connect which is basically the two
powerful emotions of loving love and
offers them
and once you have the fire of the love
and you have the fire of the oil from a
high and from down here then you can go
ahead and you have a lot of ishia
Library cleave to Hashem and like
literally the way the way the verse says
as we know the verse is referring to
yakovino and was you love you like who's
going to cleave to to
um to Leia referring to yaka yaka is
going to cleave to Leia and we know
Yankovic who is yakuz you know you have
avraham was
Guru which is
a fusion of the Tomb he's also the
fusion to Ferris which is Alvin Alvin
you were together
so after you have Roofing which is album
you have shiman which is hero and then
you have lady which is the which is the
fusion of doing cleaving dudiments voice
then you come to the level of Yehuda and
yahudas Hashem now I acknowledge Hashem
total Acceptance in other words what's
acceptance
acceptance and like it says afterwards
and we learned to write in the previous
discourse the episodes after after
yahuda what does it say about time she
stopped giving birth why because once
you have acceptance then you're totally
plugged in and there's no there's
there's no there's no birth afterwards
you totally you totally did one with
Hashem and it's actually higher than
Apple it's higher than Europe higher
than you love you July acceptance is the
highest level
why and so the powerful point there ever
says because the first
of all that's that's
being here however when it comes to
Yahoo though that's total acceptance
there's no movement you totally won in
our you're loving this you loving Hashem
in Europe Hashem in midsole she's doing
a message you're connecting so it's
still too connecting when it comes to
Yehuda when it comes to acceptance then
there is there is no movement and you
literally
so again Beatles the highest but now
they're asked a simple question what did
we just learned that Beatles the highest
it's higher than average height and year
return during the midsize bittles the
one acceptance obviously you need
everything but in terms of levels it's
the highest level everybody says one
second the fact is both then other
places
that bit will acceptance It's not the
highest level and on the contrary
acceptance is the beginning of any
interaction with God before you start
loving God being an awe of God and doing
the richest acceptance comes first we
just learned that you go from love to or
doing the mid Choice then you become one
with Hashem but the fact that there's
brought that many places and said this
that acceptance comes first before you
even start any process and Gerber
explains the truth is that when it comes
to Bittle there's two levels when it
comes to acceptance there's two
different levels in other words there
has to there's a certain acceptance that
comes in the beginning of the work and
it's before you even start with love and
all and and doing any choice you have
acceptance first that's the first level
of acceptance but then you have the
acceptance which is at the at the end
which is completes the other after after
you cleave doing the Metro is then you
have total acceptance which comes again
after Abba which we said is a is there's
no work like the work of Abu and you
have the full this you have the full
level of apple and you have the full
level of Euro the full level of love and
the full level of all and you have the
full level of doing the metroids then
you have the highest level of acceptance
so then you have the complete avoidal of
yahoodah after you do your brothers are
gonna are gonna acknowledge you in other
words and only afterwards the higher
level then it's the Apostle to be your
hand will be and your enemy's neck Etc
and I just brought down in many places
in other words
so whatever's saying is there's two
levels of acceptance there's a level of
acceptance which are lower level which
starts at the beginning then you do to
the full level of loving Hashem the full
loving being over Hashem and then you go
to the next level you're doing them it's
voice and then you come to the highest
level where it's total Acceptance Now
powerful stuff it never says from here
you have to learn the lesson in
practicality in the way we serve
ourselves in other words
because even though you can ask a
question when you have to learn a
practicality the fact is we know that
the major difference between the
Patriarchs Abraham Isaac and Jacob and
the tribes in other words because the
fact is every one of us we all come from
the Patriarchs and the Patriarchs we
received as an inheritance the ability
of of Abram which is love
which is hero and the body of yaakov
which is the pharise which is compassion
so we all connected to everyone in the
others we all have it however the fact
is not everyone comes from all the
tribes some come from Ruben
so so the fact is what are we saying we
have to learn a lesson from a
reuvenation
we're not necessarily connect each one
of the tribes we're connecting to all
the Patriarchs I'm gonna say all the
tribes but there explains I don't know
that's not that what the the the the the
theory that we come from a specific
drive and if we only have that avoida
it's not necessarily collect it knows
what does that mean it means like this
every one of us is connected to a
specific tribe in a strong way
so in others our main avoida is pending
on which tribe we're coming from
in other words
but so but but when it comes to the
others that is definitely our main
avoida and it was the main spiritual
service that we have of Abram applies to
every one of us the spiritual service of
Yitzhak and love or and being and and
and compassion applies to everyone else
however when it comes to the Schwartz
and the tribes not everyone is our main
about you that's not a man of spiritual
service but nevertheless even though
it's not our main but we do have a
connection each one each one each one of
the other of the of disruptive Reuben
lady Etc so therefore so since we it's
not our main avoidal we still have a
connection we have to know what is the
lesson we're learning from ruvane
and like it's brought down departure so
it says clearly when yaakov blessed him
it says
[Music]
in other words each one according to
their unique blessing every tribe got
its unique blessing but then it says he
blessed them all together and Rashi says
you might think that maybe everyone got
their unique blessing and they weren't
sure no no
teaches us that they all share it's a
sheer blessing even though everyone has
that unique blessing but still a shared
blessing in other words every single one
of the tribes
besides the fact that he receives his
unique powerful blessing he also
received the blessings from the other
tribe so since every tribe received from
all the tribes so therefore obviously we
have to learn a lesson from every one of
the tribes how it applies to us and
especially
that all the tribes are the children of
Jacob avino and they receive Yonkers
blessings and as we know every one of
the Jewish people are connected to Yakov
and like the altarah says in igarus
that the soul of yaakov
was a general soul and all the souls of
the Jewish people are within yaakov so a
even though it's not our saying is even
though it's every tribe is different but
we all the tribes share the blessing be
all the tribes receive the blessing from
yaakov and we're all connected to
yakovirino
and that's why they're besides that's
why also it's hinted in the fact is that
Jacob had another name what's the second
name of Jacob Israel he was called
Israel and what are the Jewish people
called Israelites so everybody's
connected to yaakov everyone's connected
is Israelites because Yonkers names are
the Israel and especially the way it's
known it says the wise Janka called
Israel because Israel stands for has
five letters you'd
a sin raised alaflamic which stands for
gas shishim reboy oystero this um uh 600
000 letters in the title another is that
in yaka's name every single Jewish
person throughout history is connected
to
so therefore since we're all connected
to to Jaco devino we're connecting
Israel so after we have to learn the
lesson from it
the driver says what's the lesson we do
our work and we do it in a complete way
which again we go from Roofing
we love Hashem Schumann we're in all
we're in all of a sudden and lady we
cleaved us I'm doing missiles then we
come to the highest level of Yehuda
which is a bit all acceptance and now my
acknowledges have total acceptance then
we do our body though we'll we'll get
all the all the other blessings of
yakovino like he blessed you who then he
says
till he comes to Sheila
and what is Sheila referring to Sri is
referring to the king Messiah like Rashi
says the king Messiah that he is the
king of everything and and
and the mattress actually says she likes
is she the constant two words like it
says they're going to bring the gift to
the master and they're saying also
because what's going to happen is in the
times of mashiach what's going to happen
in times of mashiach because God's gonna
be revealed all over not only in
synagogues and house all over the world
God's gonna be revealed even the nations
of the world are going to realize that
God is running the show and like the
rambam says when mashiach comes the
whole world will be transformed and
elevated up to the point that the whole
world is going to serve Hashem and like
the prophet says
the whole the nations of the world are
going to have one clear the language and
we're going to pray to one God and I was
like it says
the name of God we're all going to pray
to Hashem and like another verse in the
prophet says
when God's going to be revealed the
whole world is going to accept God as
the king
and up to the point where it's going to
be an elevation in the in but not only
in the world but also by the Jewish
people and what's going to happen is
we're going to have
Malaysia is going to be back with us
Aaron's going back with us and it's like
it's brought down many places in many
places that mashiach is going to learn
terrible also and also the the
Patriarchs and how much most of the
tribes et cetera why because it says
that with the Revelation that's going to
happen well mashiach is going to be much
higher than the when the times of the
Patriarchs so since the Revelation is
going to try her he's gonna have to
teach Terror to the obvious and how is
that going to happen so we know when we
do our actions and our work like The
Optimist says clearly in Tanya and we
basically love Hashem and all of Hashem
and do the Mitzvahs and again most
importantly we learned this because it's
going to power a bit though the power of
acceptance and we do it in this these
times of Galos and what's going to
happen is we're all going to Merit for
the revelation of Messiah let me finish
off with a blessing it should all happen
bimhero be a mainu mamash literally
quickly in our days and literally about
in the time that we are living right now
so you have a short but a very powerful
Civic discourse in the Reba about the
power of acceptance
love or and doing the midst of the power
of acceptance and we do honorable of the
power of acceptance will organ a
marriage for the revelation of God's
willing our next class will be in your
ear have a great and blessed week
