Arousal from Above, Results in Small Letters ויקרא אל משה Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to this week's class onus. We're going to be learning a beautiful discourse from the Reb. The name of the discourse is called Elisha. The Reb said this discourse on Shabasikra. That year was the fifth day of the month of Nissan in the year 43 years ago. So again the discourse is based on the verse where it says he called toe and god spoke to him from the tent of meeting saying the say we have to understand why doesn't it say who's calling it he called it doesn't say who's calling and especially afterward it says love god spoke to so why is he started with saying doesn't say who it is and later on it says Who's calling also we have to understand it says like God spoke to him in the tent of meeting it should have said by almighty spoke to him in in the tent of meeting also we have to understand that the olive in the word is small because we know there's small letters there's intermediate letters and there's big letters and the whole toyra is written in in intermediate letters and this olive is Now the zora says like this over here the olive is small. Why? Because the calling wasn't complete. Why not? Because this was in the in in the in the Mishkan and it was in a strange land and because completion is only in the holy land and over here it was it was outside the land of Israel. Also when you have the completion is when you have the completion of male and female like it says so was the completion because he was a completion he was married male and female and the is feminine it's you don't have the completion of both so in other words he makes the difference between the small olive in par and the big olive of Adam in in the in the and and and is connected to the idea of Mashiach and that's why it says the big olive. So the Reb says to understand this we have to give an introduction what it says I am first and I am last and it's explained in discourses to tell you from the inidic discourse and and afterwards etc that when it says it's referring to what the sphere of kesser and that's why the word ani starts off what ani is spelled Alf. So the first letter is an alf because what is al if alf also al if is the same letters as as pel a wonder and and the wonder is in in the sphere of kesser. Why? Because the keter is totally disconnected and it's m it's totally higher from the sedas. It's a wonder it's higher than so is connected to keter and that's what it says. I am first and I am last is referring to um the alip is kaser but is referring to two levels in kaser. The internal part of keter and the external part of kesser ani I am last is referring to the external part of kaser and ani is referring to the internal part of kaser. Now besides these two levels in caser external internal there's a third level which is higher than I'm first and this level is called which is higher than why because the word has the the letters but you and and those letters are equal but in the word you have another letter. What's the other letter? And is for kesser. So that's even a higher level. What does that mean? The explains like this. Even though we know general in there's two levels. You have the external part of kesser and you have the internal part of kaser. But more specifically there's another level. There's more multiple levels. And since kesser is the source of everything that's created in the world and everything that was created is included in the beginning of kesser. So obviously all the levels you have um the the the beginning of spheres of kesser in it as well and in general in ket you have three levels what's the three levels you have of kasser and and and then you have the level of and the like we said is so there's three levels in the highest level and then in other words even though in the general level which we call things flow from one world world to the next. So is referring to which we call the lower level of then you have which is and is a spheres of itself because noi represents the power of the elevation and the and and the and and the the uplifting and and the uh off the charts like it says when the prophet Samuel said why is that Because prophecy is much higher and it's totally disconnected and especially when it's the word of Hashem and it was which was very very precious in those days and was the prophet he was the prophet of Hashem and that's why he says I am the one that that sees in other words he's in the level of of elevation on a high level of elevation. So what do we see from here that is referring to the sphere of kesser which is obviously on a very very high level higher than all the levels of so the same thing also in itself that any of which basically it's totally off off the charts now when it gets drawn down into which is the lowest level males in all the levels of then you have the completion of the all the levels of the way things flow down. Why? Because in order that the the sedals the way things flow from one one level to the next should be complete you have to you have to receive from ketar because on its own you can be complete you complete when you receive from ka and then you're complete but this completion of on that level is the completion of what I'll say in Hebrew I'll translate there's something lacking so you feel you fill the cavity that's that that's lacking Like the expression is give the person what they're lacking. Why? Because is the source of the way things flow in the worlds. And therefore from there what do you get from you can fill a a a need that's lacking. But in order to draw in from which is which is a higher level of then you get what? not only what's lacking but then you get real then you get wealth not only what's lacking but when you bring in from which is that's wealth off the charts so the is explaining is that ultimately in the world ker comes in but the question which part of kesser so if it's the part of keser which is mal you're going to fill what's missing if it's of kesser then you're going to have wealth but if it's kesser of kesser then there's wealth off the charts now drawing in which is of wealth off the charts that came in when Hashem gave the Torah like it says clearly what when God gave the up to the point that came into the lowest level of our power and it came into the place that you have to that that it's so materialistic you have to say you can't have any other gods which is the lowest level on the lowest lowest level. But even in that level, what was able to come in there of came in there. In other words, in when Hashem gave the Tory, not only did we get because ink you have the four letters and you also have the the you also have the the dot on top of the Yud which is referring to Kesser as well like the explains in Gachuva. But that's what type of kesser like we learned Kesser which is connected to the world. And that's why connect it's connected to the yud which is connected to the letter of however what we get which is referring to the way is on its own not the way it's connected to the yud which is totally disconnected from the all levels of the world up to the world of which is not hinted with any letter or even a dot on the letter now what's the reason that m were able to bring in the level of noi of the highest level of kaser because M tora has a has a um a a a resemblance of the revelation what's going to be like in the future when Msiah comes. So even though manta is only like a taste of what's mish comes comes but it still is t it's still some kind of resemblance of it and not only that it's brought down in many many discourses that m was only once it's never going to be again and therefore m we have the vessel for the highest blessings to come down and that's why the level of was drawn down in mra and that's why it says by moa hashem but he called mo doesn't say who called him. Why? Because it's brought down in the discourses of Basilani that the bringing down the matra came in a in a in a in a um consistent and an established way when we made a mishkan the tabernacle. And just like when it came to ma what came in the highest leveler the same thing also when they made the mishk then that what came into the mishki the highest level and that's it doesn't say who called him because this verse is referring to calling from where from the tent of meeting the mishkan and the drawing down came from the level of which is higher than even the level of I am who I am and doesn't say who called him because it's not limited to what who's calling and therefore who who who did Hashem callu because in reference to it says I'm standing between you and so is referring to the highest level but nevertheless is with a small olive why because even though what gets drawn down the highest level and the levels coming from himself But since the drawing down came from decided to go ahead and call him not that we called out to Hashem. So therefore when this drawing down comes in into letters says a small letter because you didn't put the effort in. In other words, besides the fact that the that the the what gets drawn in is higher than letters, but the the letters come usually when you when you when there's an awakening, when there's a calling, but when you're lacking the calling, so that the letters are lacking and that's why you have a small letter. In other words, even though what gets drawn down is coming from the highest places and it really doesn't need to be called Hashem can decide to go ahead and show us a blessing. But nevertheless, when it came to giving the Torah, it there was we had the level of but we had to go ahead and do our part first. And that's why it says when we left Egypt, God says you're going to serve me on this mountain. What does that mean? Besides that rashi says that I am God your God that took you out of Egypt. I took you out for this reason. But the zora says what does that mean? That before Hashem gave the toyra we have to do our work of seven weeks. We have to count seven weeks and know this counting of the seven weeks is basically we do our work so that we can receive. So therefore when you're lacking the doing your work so you're lacking in the letters and that's why the that's why the letter is small. And therefore you could say an example of this when it comes to idea of faith that we see the same idea when it comes to faith two extremes on one hand we know faith is everything amuna is al faith is everything and on the other hand it's possible that when you you can be you can you can steal and you and you're calling out to faith for hashem why why are you calling to hashem when when you're stealing because you're obviously lacking in faith in a revealed way and like in the letters it's it's not real because if if you had real faith in a revealed way and the and it was was permeating the letters you wouldn't go ahead and steal but nevertheless you can have faith because faith is everything so you can have faith because faith is everything but you can have faith and steal as well why because it's not it's not internalized and the same thing also when it comes to when hashem called even though yes it's coming from the highest level, but when you're not doing your part, it's a small letters. And that's why the zo the zora says the that the olive is small. Why? Because it's not complete. Why? Because because it's it's in the Mishkan and it's in a strange land and over in in a strange land, you're not going to you're not going to have it complete. Why is that? Because it was in the Mishkan, a strange land. What does that mean practically? It was lacking. We didn't call it Hashem. And therefore the calling was not complete and therefore the the calling did not come into the letters and that's why the letters are small. So based on the say he'd like to to to uh put in sync the the both insights what it says or mo they that Hashem called it doesn't say who called. So one one insight is like we said before that it's coming from the level of I am who I am and that's why it doesn't say who's calling. is coming from very high level. Another insight is no it was an angel that called or the or the sphere of malus that called and that's why it doesn't say he was calling because it was an angel sphere of malos based on what we learned. So on one hand yes the essence of the coming from the answers of Hashem but because it's lacking doing your work and therefore the letters are missing. So therefore what came into the letters was the level of a malik an angel or that's all the way it comes in now that even though it's coming from the level of but it's lacking in the letters because it's concealed but through this coming down what's going to have eventually when Mashia comes in the future we're going to have the level of of in the letters and it's going to be revealed and even the level of which is referring to bringing down the essence of Hashem it's going to be on a very very high level in the future. Um if whoever you describe obviously asking Hashem and that's why in the in the in in the the book of Driim it says Adam with a big alf. Why? because referring to Msiah because everything's going to be revealed then and you can have all the letters complete and that's why Adam which is the name of of the human being is also the the rash and if you take the letters al is referring to Adam and Miach that all the three levels is going to be in the future but it's going to be complete and there the union is going to be in a letter way of Messiah and David like it says in reference to Messiah that he's going to go ahead and he's going to teach very very powerful highlevel teachings and is the same letters as but it's in a way of it's going to be off the charts like it says it's going to be totally breaking through all the boundaries which is referring to Msiah he's going to break any limits and it's brought down and we know that Torah is everlasting and all these levels apply today in other words that even these levels are everlasting now so what do we see from here that all everything we spoke about in reference to Hashem is calling has to do with our our spiritual service today. But we do our work today and we're going to come to the level of all limitations are going to break through be broken. What's going to happen when Msiah comes and finishes off beautifully with a powerful prayer? He should come. He should redeem us. He should take us standing upright toesh. And what's going to be revealed is the honor of Hashem. And everyone is going to see the mouth of Hashem speaking. Here we have a beautiful discourse of the power that we have to bring in literally from Ketar. And then you have the ultimate blessings. But you got to do your part. You have to do we do our part. We're going to have the revelation of Messiah. We're going to have the coming of Messiah. My next class will beesh. Thanks so much for joining us for our weekly class onus.
