And I will espouse you forever. וארשתיך לי לעולם A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's class in we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb the name of the discourse is called the re said this discourse which is also right before the holiday in the year and that's exactly 36 years ago so again the discourse is based on the verse in the prophets which is from the T of the was where the verse says says it's known what the previous rebba U said in reference to the the behavior of the the Third on a year that midb was on the fifth day of the which mean was like in that year 36 years ago discourse that before he lit the candles in Shabbat he would say discourse on the verse Elevate the head of the Jewish people and in shabas afternoon would say a discourse on this verse and with the explanation the way it's printed in the and us to point out that this verse is from the aor of the Torah portion and the aor is connected to the whole Torah portion of our midb because the fact is that the aor is the end of the Torah after you read the Torah portion read Torah and we know everything goes based so much to the end and especially it's explained many places the reason why they established the to to practice to read from the aor from the prophets that's because there was decree from the King that they could not read the Torah portion so they would read the AF Torah in place of the Torah portion with the same idea the same theme so you see that whatever's in the has a real connection with the Torah portion of that week so the question is what is it so the the idea that's explained in that discourse is that these verses what is it referring to it's referring to the Revolutionary idea that took place when God gave us a Torah in other words what is m t what does it mean God gave us a Torah besides the fact that he gave the Torah but it's also the engagement of the Jewish people and God that's when we got engaged very and that's the that's that's the definition of the verse that we're getting engaged to and it's just like when there's an engagement and there's a marriage literally what does that mean when you're engaged you married to someone you're not allowed to be with anyone else and like d brings in in in Brackets like we like self understood like from the the when the discourse so then they were learning from the Mones that it speaks over there about a um a a Jewish um girl a Israelite girl that got engaged to a priest she wasn't married yet so she's already allowed to eat truma why because once you're engaged you you you there's a certain level of a connection and the same thing also happened in M we got engaged to and then we became unified and engaged to hasem so in other words what's saying that m t accomplishes an engagement a deep connection that we have with not only that there a step further that when it comes to engagement versus the the eventual marriage there's laws that engagement is even more strict stricter than marriage um like we F like we find in in the different discussions in the encyclopedia T that speaks about the different uh stringencies of Engagement over marriage now in the engagement that took place in m so there's three levels and like the verse says in this verse so it says three times so one says you're engaged to me forever and then it says that we're going to be engaged with with with with Justice with compassion Etc and then says a third time that you're engaged with faith and then the verse continues Thea adap hem after the three levels of Engagement and it's forever with with Justice and with faith then you'll know Hashem which is obviously a very very high level of hm giving to her up to the point we come we have the power to know Hashem I mean that's a huge thing to have to comprehend understand and know Hashem now one second the fact is in order to really really know Hashem the adopt hem we know that's only going to happen in the future Messiah comes and cuz Messiah comes what's going to happen we're going to have true knowledge inem on the on the highest and the completest level and that's also connected to the new Torah so to speak that's going to be given with Mia comes but the fact is even though the ultimate of the the ultimate knowing mashia comes but the but nevertheless and and the Torah was going to giv in the future but the fact is everything was already given M Torah and like like the expression is that m t is only once and M everything was given yes it takes St to connect to it and ultimate connection comes but at M Torah when we got engaged to gave us the full T and that's why it says that we're connected to hem forever and say Lee to meem Forever what does it mean Lee so anytime there an expression of Lee to me which means it's it's connected to me and it does not get it does not it's not doesn't get broken so in other words the engagement that took place between the Jewish people and God and m is Everlasting and everything was given then even the things of the future and especially like it says in the verse um besides the fact that LE like just explained is forever but it says it says that you you engaged me forever and the same thing is also understood with the AL explains in Tanya in reference to all the revelations it's going to be like when mashia comes that everything already existed when okay so what just explained that the whole idea of of uh of mountain T when we get engaged to Hashem so to speak and we get engaged in a way of forever and at mountaina everything was given it takes a process till we can all have the ultimate knowledge of hasem but everything was given then now even though that everything was given as a gift of M but we all know there something is a gift hasm gives us a gift but hasm doesn't want we should have the Hebrew expression is called n shameful bread which means a GI that's not worked on something you don't work on something you don't achieve is a shameful bread it's not really yours it may be technically your you might have it or have technical ownership but it's not really yours but what's the ultimate hasm wants to give us a gift but then he wants us also to work for it in a way that when we work we get the real reward so because Hashem wanted us to have the real reward and it shouldn't be shameful bread so after hasm gave us everything and my turn we had it all all of a so so to speak shut off the lights he created a concealment and by creating the concealment now ready if we want to have toyra and we want to have MIT we want to have the relationship we have to do our work know we have to always bring in everything that's revealed not turo so there's two components on one hand M everything was given we have it all on the other hand hasm doesn't want us to have the shameful bread so he concealed but the beauty is that we don't have to create something new we just got to take off the covering we take the covering by doing our our specific our our our aod our work now so this work of taking off the concealment that happens every single year as a preparation for mat when does that start it starts off on S right away in the beginning of the month and C we know is the third month which is connected to toyra to is also level of three so that's the first component the third month connect the Torah afterwards you have the three days of preparation for for for for receiving the Torah which is again connected to the idea of the Torah is connect to three and then on the fifth day of the we have the introduction we said we're going to go ahead and do even before we hear and by going ahead and doing our avoid starting fromes and by doing our Avid in the three days of preparation and by doing theid of saying before so that causes to bring down the two crowns from the from the angels on high from the great angels to every single Jewish person receives um two crowns by doing our vo now so the truth is these two crowns how do they get created they get created by doing our work we do our work we're the ones that create the crowns and like there brings a powerful medc that says a parable a people of a country that went ahead and they made three crowns for the King as a gift so what did the king do he got three crowns on your head you can only put one Crown you can't put on three so he went ahead he took one on his head and um two he put on his children in other words so who so the who but who made the crowns for the king the people in the country so the people that went ahead made the crowns that's the that's the crown that hasm uses to Crown himself and to Crown the Jewish people and like we say in in the prayers in that the crown that we're going to give the the Angels the Jewish people in other words so who who is the one that made the crowns the Jewish people made the crowns we made the crown that God uses the crown himself and Crown the Jewish people no what does that mean so besides the fact that we did our work that caused us to get to Crown the king and Crown the Jewish people but we're standing when at the end of the counting the we start to count on the second day of P which is goes in at the spiritual work of counting the which means we're running we're running we're running away from Egypt we're going to where we're going to receive the and like it says in the prophets in in songs of songs King Solomon says run after me and narut it doesn't say n to run it says narut plural who's the who's the plural that's running after so it's referring to the two parts that we all have two Souls The Godly soul and the animal soul and not only that who's the one that's really running not The Godly Soul the running is coming from the animal soul I explained that because when the animal Souls running then you have the the the the say in Hebrew I'll translate the the real light comes from the darkness when the animal The Godly Souls running to M that's our self understood but the fact that the animal Souls running to M toyra that's revolutionary that's the the the great light that comes from the darkness and know when you transform the physical world the materialistic world the Dark World and that causes that sh when we do that's when says I'm going to get engaged to you forever in other words that the the the the the the connection and the relationship is an everlasting relationship and what happens is we totally anull the decree where God is in heaven and we're down here and we have a true Union Between Heaven and Earth but that all happens what by us doing our spiritual avoa of transforming our our our animal soul to be to want to run after Hashem so again so to Recaps even though we received everything wants us to do our when we do our obviously we create the crown we create we create the the real light into this world and we create the ultimate blessing in the world now just like it was the Maran the first time that we got everything the same thing also happens when you're learning T every time you learn Torah every day every hour anytime you learn right here you're learning tah anytime you're learning Torah you draw down all the Godly eny and like the AL brings and he explains the verse that says just like then when we receive the anation over here also know when you every time you sit and learn toy of every single person we actually draw in the energy that we received when we received the Torah the first time and when we learn we learn it in a way like like it says in the prophets that we're we're actually repeating what hasm is saying or like like it says in as in in in Psalms my mouth says your Praises know that it's saying by itself we we're totally us is connected in the deepest level and this is connected to every single person why because we're all unified we're all one know like we the famous expression we're one person one heart not only like like like it's similar no no but it's it's it's kids like literally one it's one person we literally become all one and so it's therefore it's not only like love love there's one person loving the other person like there's you there's your friend and so you love one one the other but this also is connected to M ter like it says that when Hashem went ahead and wanted to give the Jewish people what does it say he went ahead and he put the mountain on top of them which what what the what was the idea of putting the mountain on top of them wasn't pressure it was actually tremendous love But but so that's one level of the relationship where there's there's a and there's love but it's even more than that it's actually become one in other words that it becomes one image that the essence itself get gets drawn down and like it's explained that where where it's where the verse says every single day it should be like new in other words it's not like new but literally becomes new become becomes one so the point is that when we learn Torah every single time we learn Torah we have the power to create that not only Unity but actually Oneness by learning Torah and when we do our aoid in a complete way of being totally connected to hem and on the first level also the other levels of getting in sort of be connected to through the idea of then we come after the three levels then we come we can know which what is Das what what is the idea of Tas that's the ultimate Union of a marriage because we know that Das is where where the expression is that you you connect your Das um in in a very strong way so Das is a real deep connection up to the point when you have Das what comes after that then you have the emotions so the love and the oil come afterwards and like the alar says that when you once you have a then you have in a we have all the Mitzvah the positive Mitzvah from from loving hasem and the negative Mitzvah from from yours hem which is also connected to the Ten Commandments like do explains in t that that's why and the first two Commandments we heard from hem why is that because included all the positive Commandments and includes all the negative commandments so the ultimate goal is to get to the level of Y we connect in the deepest level and through that that creates Thea and the and all the mitzah and all the mitv of hem now when we do our spiritual work and says especially in the afternoon which is the time of of of praying the prayer services which is connected to and we know the is connected to the Future because as we know msia comes even though we have Abraham we have Isaac and Jacob who we going to say who's our father Y is going to be our father now even though you're going to say y he's the one that chosen of the Patriarchs but in reference to the Future it's all connected to what to and connect and especially says when on Shabbat and Shabbat is a day of pleasure and all our work is done and especially in the time of of of which is called R the r in the most powerful time of Shabbat we're going to come very very soon to the coming of Miau and the whole Jewish people is going to gather in the land of Israel the land we're going to have all the 10 Nations we're going to inherit and it's going to happen like finishes off very very soon quickly in our days so here again you have another beautiful powerful discourse of the Reb about the idea of connecting to our one hand we have all the gifts learning we have all the gifts when we do our av we get to the level of and by connecting to the level of Das that's how we bring down all all all the all all the blessings and that will ultimately give us by doing our the ultimate mhia comes will have the highest level of knowing of hem thanks so much for joining us for our weekly class on and let's hope our next class will be have a great and blessed week sh
