welcome to this week's class and for
this we're going to be learning a
beautiful acidic discourse in the river
the name of the acrylic discourse is
called
The Rebel said this Hasidic discourse
from Shabbos parches
which that year was the Shabbos that
blessed the month of Kiss slave in the
year tough Shin men which is 37 years
ago they never went on to certify and
edit this consented discourse that
Saturday night
um
of the month of Kiss slave
um in the again in the year tough srin
memf
it discourse again is based on the verse
in this Victoria portion where it says
the
avrahamim avram was getting old Boba
yamim he was coming with his days so the
river brings from the discourse of the
rebarashab
who's the fifth Chabad rabba who's the
who's had his birthday
the 20 days
and that Shabbos was the Shabbos after
so he knows the concept of this is
just like at the end of creation he
finished creating the Heaven and the
Earth so the same thing also whatever
took place in the previous week which is
included in the 20th days which is the
birthday remember is included there so
it's based on acidic discourse in the
river
um on this verse in the year tough raise
which was 90 years
course obviously were 37 years later
it's over around 127 years later
so he brings what it says in the in the
talmud and the Midwest that up until
there was no such thing as old age
came along at ramavino and he prayed to
Hashem and there should be old age and
sure enough that's why he says okay so
in other words with the reverberation
was bringing on the talmol that says the
verse says from his old so why is him
from his old so he explains that up
until everybody knows mostly As Old you
don't find the Tyranny was old what
happened Abraham said to Hashem please
we want we should have all old age and
that's why he became old and that's why
he tells about romanzar came based on a
prayer that he had
that's what it says in atonement comes
along the urban he says he brings the
number of shots to the discourse he says
that he asked the questions that on the
commentary in the talmud where the
talmuses of Romeo pray to Hashem for old
age naturalism says the commentary
called the martial and as well as the
effect and they said one second really
is this the first time a Taurus has
someone was old everybody said before
that in the Torah it says
Abraham and Sarah's Kingdom they were
old bullying by Young and the same
expression I used before so what's the
novel idea in this verse for everyone's
looking that we're saying specifically
in this verse that's where we learned
that everyone prayed for for old age it
already happened before
so they bring over there the the
different answers and represents even
though they're different answers but
generally it's one one theme and there's
some details that are different
so in other words that they explain like
this the truth is there was old age
before because the Taurus was clearly
they were old so what does it mean if
they have Ramos Arcane it means that the
oh the old age should be noticeable
there should be a difference in re in a
physical reality between someone that's
younger and someone is older and never
explains because before from evino even
yeah people are getting older obviously
when time goes on you're getting older
but nevertheless you couldn't see the
difference between an older person a
younger person
and a Ron prayed that you should be able
to notice the difference this person's
younger and this person is older and
like the Metro says very simple that you
uh a romantic
a father a parent and a child going and
you don't know who to give respect to
who's the older one who's the younger
one and especially if they look alike
like it's brought them to Talma the
talmud says in reference to how Roman
you took itself Abraham and Yitzhak that
the the image the the the uh the
completely the complexion on the face of
Yitzhak was was similar time from Aveeno
like it says actually in the next week's
Torah portion impartial days which
representative we're going to read on
whatever
and what does it say what is the opening
verse of the Torah portion it says
this is The Offspring of the son of Rome
and avram gave birth to your talk so it
says a double looks Russian and Rashi
says
why is that because our son made that
the complexion of yes
and therefore everyone will know that
Abram gave birth to Yitzhak
so again so the point is that up until
of ramadino everyone looked alike older
and younger looked alike and especially
if you if you look similar to you like
really a carbon copy so I've run prey
that there should there should be a
difference you'd see someone as younger
and someone's older so that was
Abraham's request to Hashem that right
away you should be able to see that
Abraham's older than yet
and this is the this is the the the this
is the novel idea in this request
versus what it says before but I'm from
the Sorrows we already said the
expression cells before but what's the
difference over here because over there
when they were getting old and they were
coming in their days okay that's a fact
they were getting older but you couldn't
tell that they were old people however
whenever you know prayed over here now
you were able to see that they were
older in other words how are you able to
see literally you were able to see in
the skin of their face
um through the the different whoever
uses the the term and Yiddish
um the different you know
Expressions on the skin
Etc and you can look at someone that's
older with more wrinkles and so on and
so forth a different expression on the
face and you can see it's almost older
and the sense that applies to you know
there were wrinkles on a space and the
same thing applies to sorrow in
reference to women like the verse says
in the Torah it says
which means after my I withered I'm
gonna have I'm gonna have for a pleasure
so you see there's a difference what
happens when you're older and you're
younger in terms of the expected the the
skin on the face that's in terms of the
skin of the face which there's a
difference another difference is isn't
it here on the head and on the beard by
men as well in other words
even though the younger people have here
on the on the on their head and on the
beard Etc but nevertheless
and like we see clearly even according
to like Jewish law that would happen
when someone who reaches age 20. so
that's when the B the beard fills in but
the difference is the the color of the
hair and notice when you're younger you
have different colors over here but what
happens when you get older then you
become gray you become white
Etc
so you see there's two differences one
is in the skin
and B is in the color of the b or the
color of the ear and like the Metro says
that Hashem says
come wear my garment like it says now
from Abraham became old coming in days
so what does it mean what does it mean
that everyone was getting old optic
killing me from like ancient days and
like it says in the prophet in uh um it
says in the prophet that the the the
garments are like Snow White the
garments like Snow White and the here
and the head is like the the wool on a
lamb in other words what is it referring
to on a spiritual level it's referring
to the fact that Rama Venus here became
White
and just like it applied in terms of
this here becoming white which that's a
new idea but in front of you know when
he came old so obviously you must say
that the next part of the verse where it
says Baba yamim is also a difference
which I'll soon explain later in the
next discourse
and so so basically whatever explains
the whole idea of the white here that a
vampino had what is the white here it's
not just physically white or gray it's
referring to drawing down the 13
attributes of compassion or Kabbalah is
called his Godless the revelation of
judgment the 13 strands of light and
that the verse says that the garments
are like Snow White and here is like the
wool of a lamb in other words you're
drawing down from a level of above his
of an infinite level and that's what
happens to everyone we know like that
River ashram explains there at length
Okay so the recap before we go forward
nervous thing like this
when the verses are from sucking Abram
became old baba yum and he's going to
explain later what does it mean he
became old so whatever explains that up
until about he knew when it made his
prayer so everyone old and young look
the same now we pray there should be a
difference you should know it should be
a noticeable difference what's the
noticeable difference a in the in the in
in the skin where when you're younger
it's more it's it's more pure and more
raw however when you get older already
so things start shriveling and withering
Etc that's different from one and number
two is when you're younger you have a
darker here on your head in your beard
and when you get older it turns white it
turns gray on a spiritual level the
turning white and gray is referring to
very very high spiritual levels 13
points of light that come down and
that's one reason why we don't cut our
beard and so on and so forth okay a side
note
so we now we know what bronzoki means
okay means again he became older was
noticeable he was older and where was it
noticeable on the skin and if you can
see the difference between an older
person a younger person and the second
difference was in the color of the hair
the color of the beard which represents
the powerful Godly energy that comes
through the the gray here
okay so that's the first part of rhombus
okay but never says now we soft
understand what does mean he was coming
with days and those what's the novel
idea if I'm talking but obviously you
get older you're coming Wars I mean
you're coming by days in other words
because we know like especially in
already says before about sorrow
they were coming with the days now you
can say that Baba yummy means oh the
coming to the days they're coming to the
end of time their life is being over
like like we see we find actually in a
prophet
um and which is actually in the half
tour of this week's Torah portion where
it says
The King The King David was old coming
in coming in days and over there it
actually means he was coming to the end
of his life he reached the age of 70 and
who's going to pass on but however that
that doesn't apply over here why because
when it says
when did that say that's it for
um 40 years before the before the verse
in this terrible portion it was just
when it's actually talking when yitzlok
was getting engaged to of God and in
that time YouTube was only 40. and when
it's over so when the verse says avram
I'm sorry we're old coming in days is
before you was even born
in other words before avram was even a
hundred and we know our Roma Vino lived
till 175.
and the same thing also when it says in
in in this verse the avraham Baba yamim
it doesn't mean to the end of his life
why because the fact that until he was
only 140 and he lived another 35 years
afterwards and matter of fact if not for
the if not for
um gosh I'm trying to save him from not
having anguish over East so he would
live another five years he would have
not only 35 years old 40 years more
and as we know the river says that
citizens brought down and it says that
in in Psalms King David says that the
days of a human being is 70 years
there's a different opinion 120 but in
Psalms King David says 70 years even
acquainted opinion at 70 years if he
lived another 35 years at least so it
means he he was going to live in a half
a lifespan so when it says bullying by
yummy and it can't be that means he
reached the end of his life
so that's questionable and it says what
does it mean and again it can't mean the
end of his life also we have to
understand the connection between
with the fact that it says was old and
since it says again Baba yamim so you
have to say this
um
just like you have the novel idea we
just learned before what ramzaki means
he had gray here which is pulling down
uh pulling down Godly energy there must
be some kind of powerful connection
between
him and The Godly energy of the zakane
so again so now we're going to address
the issue of what's the idea Bubba young
which we know we cannot mean the end of
his life I never explained as follows
what does it mean and there was like
it's explained in short interior error
and at lens in irate to classical
Hasidic discourses on the partial so
what does it mean
it means that all his date were all his
days were complete
a it's complete number two is they're
very very high level days and there was
no that one day was missing in his life
and like is there like sorry it was
actually based in the Czar so again so
in short what does Baba yummy mean his
days were complete there was nothing
missing now that's a life your days are
complete nothing was missing and that's
what I mean it says that he came with
all his days every single day was
accounted for every single day was
filled filled and fulfilled
and that's why it says it knows when
it's in the verse where it says but
avram the sorrow the original verse
and then in this verse where it says
twice it says when it says together and
then also in this verse it says
which means the sum total of all those
days what are complete days and full
full with what serving Hashem so Baba
yam in both as a couple of sorrow and
both as an individual they were complete
and serving Hashem they served Hashem
fully now
in in complete Days Robert says there's
two different levels
one of the two levels one level is that
they served Hashem in a way that you
cannot say they missed out on anything
they were complete nothing was lacking
but nevertheless even though it was 100
complete but it's still done in a finite
way like the like when the torahway
speaks about the uh giving a poor person
that needs help so Torah says you should
open your hand and give him and then it
says
you should you should give him whatever
he's lacking so that's one level so one
level driver says claiming days it was
complete which means there was nothing
lacking you can't say there was anything
lacking in his service of Hashem which
is again on a finite level but that is a
deeper level a higher level
then there's a way where your days are
complete not just enough you checked
everything off and nothing is missing
but it was actually an above nature
like the like there's another Insight
where it says but a poor person not only
it's nothing you should give him with
nothing is lacking but you actually have
an obligation to make sure that the poor
person is wealthy which is a whole
different level one person can say a
poor person poor okay he has nothing's
lacking everything he needs that's very
nice that's one level but what about
making him Rich that's a whole different
level so Baba Young And The Rebel says
there's two ways above the Yemen one is
okay you checked everything off you did
all the right things you didn't miss a
beat Etc that's wonderful but that is a
whole different level what's the whole
different level that you're not only not
missing but you're like supercharged and
you Non-Stop and doing things on the
infinite level so Rebel says this is the
novel idea where it says in this verse
avram
was all Bubba young we're focusing on
that he's coming in his days based on
what it said before about the sorrow
Abraham and sorrow is
in the original verse where it says
avramasara
is coming in days
is referring to yes they were complete
in their service of Hashem uh and but in
the realm of what of a fine a finite
checking everything off he did
everything and they didn't miss anything
why because we're going to start over
there scan him they were old it's not
referring to the white here the gray
here the 13 and the 13 Sparks of
godliness however in this verse we sent
it from the zucking is referring to what
level of zipnal gray here which
represents the good multiconnect so
therefore you must say when it says it's
a complete avoida which was avoid which
is above nature
so another what they're saying is a
powerful idea there's two verses I'm
from vasaurus Canaan boy but yeah I mean
that's referring to they did everything
they didn't miss a beat but it's within
the realm of nature in a finite level
but then when it said that we have
Abrams was referring to it's referring
to above nature off the charts
and that and that's referring to that's
connected the idea of zikno the zucking
word we explained it's referring to the
white ears the gray hairs it's referring
to what the the the the powerful
kabbalistic energy in the air and which
is connected to the the the the the
strands of here on high like it's like
Kabbalah is called
um the dignard the optic joyman Optical
is a very very high level you know it's
in capture this Arctic and Eric a high
level in in optic Arthur Gilman so which
is referring to the 13 strands of Light
which is the 13 answers of compassion
and we know that when you're dealing
with the answers of compassion there's
no limits over there so just like
zucking
is referring to
you again
the 13 strands alike which is infinite
the same thing also Baba yummy means his
Cadets were complete and he served god
without any limits
now why is that never explains because
generally speaking here the here the
Cyrus that's referring to it's a here so
therefore it's it's finite it's a it's a
finite energy and up to the point it's
actually it's a part of it's even dead
energy like it's explained next to this
but over here
was that is here wasn't God forbid
finite or dead on the contrary it was
gray it was white which is connected to
the 13 Points of Light
which is connected to the 13 answers of
compassion which is above nature so
that's the powerful lesson that the
Torah is teaching Us in Abrams
that is just like Zucker is referring to
God's will not finite or dead dead here
it's referring to real powerful live
gray hair which is connected
of compassion the same thing also
referring to his days were complete days
the days were complete the days were
full on the level of which is infinite
up to the level of what your gimmel now
so again just to recap so whoever's
explaining it so we learned already
sucking is referring towards is
referring to the fact that at a
technical level they uh there was a
noticeable difference in the age and the
noticeable difference was both in the in
the in in the skin and in the hair on
the spiritual level referring to you
know a very very powerful level and Baba
young was referring to that he came
complete and not only complete but he
just checked it off like the first level
we did it we did it in a finite way but
it was actually an infinite way and you
see the real so direct connection
that never goes on to say as follows
since we know that Toyota is Everlasting
and everything in the turbo is
Everlasting so therefore every part of
the term has a practical lesson teaching
every one of us and especially when
we're dealing in a from a veto and we
know that it's that we learned in the
talmud that you you caught when you're
dealing with the patriarchists three
Patriarchs Abraham Isaac and Jacob
and
the fact is even though there's 12
different tribes so that if you're from
One Tribe you're not from the other
tribe but the fact is all the tribes are
connected to Africa
now in the trial even in the tribes
there's different tribes but there isn't
still a component where all the Jewish
people are divided So speaking two two
tribes one of the two tribes is
which is referring to one is referring
to the ones that
learn Toyo and ones that that do miss
vote so even so different generally each
tribe is separate you come from a
certain tribe even when they group the
tribes together it's still split between
your soccer and zulon learning terrain
doing Mitzvahs that's when it comes to
the tribes however when it comes to the
Patriarchs everyone has a connection to
Abraham everyone has a connection to
Isaac and everyone has a connection to
Jacob
so therefore this spiritual service of
Rama Vino with zakane he was connected
above nature
and he came complete when his days above
nature it applies to each and every one
of us and especially
as we know when we pray we pray every
single day and we say the the the
smallest Ray so the first blessing of
the sworn yesterday which is called the
blessing of the Patriarchs so we say uh
um Abraham Isaac and Jacob Etc when we
finish off the blessing how do we say we
don't say the the the the the protective
Abrams and say we just finished off
Abraham in other words because that
Abraham include includes everybody
now not only that but the shimono Esther
we say every single day we say three
times a day and Shabbat we say someone
asking four times a day and yantem as
well and five times Daniel Kippur and
the reason why we finish off with our
Vino even though it's a blessing of all
the Patriarchs Abram includes everybody
in other words so even though generally
speaking the three prayers chakras that
we pray every day
um is what is is connected one is
connected to Abraham one is connected to
Isaac and one is connected Jacobs and
they have different ways of serving
serving Hashem and more specifically so
we know that Abram is more about the
idea of love and he talks more about the
era of Hashem and yaakov is more
compassion
but nevertheless even though technically
there are three different three
different but we know that it's brought
down in Kabbalah that the um emotions on
the level of kadusha they're all
intertwined even this is Abram this is
yes this is this is love this is all in
this compassion they're all intertwined
they're all into one of the other one
with the other
I'd like to explain the length in the
discourse of serious that we see not
only the first three are intertwined but
all the seven emotions are entwined so
how much more so when it comes to the
first three attributes of love and awe
and compassion they're all going into
twine going the other and so that's the
Practical lesson of about when it says
coming in days between nobody's
referring to the high level of chemical
and he's complete in his days what does
it mean practically just like by avrah
mavino he came complete his days were
complete and the level of what Abram was
zucking the 13 attributes of compassion
the 13 in humans
13 powerful lights and we know that
zakane is also referring to
this is the required wisdom and it's
also connected the idea of the 13
attributes of 13 points of light
and we learned is what it's the serving
God with only limits
so same thing also applies to each other
one of us we need to connect to Hashem
on the level of learning connecting to
the United to serving Hashem Without
Limits don't make any calculations pray
study do Mitzvahs how much No Limits
you'll connect Without Limits you'll be
like a vermovino that never goes on to
say and he has as follows
that um the the Civic discourse of the
the rubber ashab who his birthday is
when did he say this so when there ever
said that to the discourse it was 90
years before there was something now we
have to add obviously 37 years but
whenever said it was 90 years
now derva says we know it's brought down
the mission it says in in the sacrament
when someone is 90. so the so Tesla
means you're you're bent over that's a
little translation but what does it mean
you're bent over so when Bento was
referring not just physically Bento but
it's referring to actually prayer and
like to explain to the different
commentaries in the Mishra and like it
doesn't in our pasture it says
he uses the same term
and we know he went he went to pray
so when teaching him is connected to
what idea of Prayer that's one idea of
90. we also know that that it's also
connected
to learning Torah like the different
commentaries on the mission and say a
little silk is referring to the learning
Terror and like there ever since it's
also like like we see in in the Book of
Psalms and use the term Tommy ape that
in the Book of Psalms there's one
chapter 119 that goes through all the
Hun all the 22 letters and it has eight
verses for each one of the letters
that's why it's called tame eight verses
for each one of the letters which is the
psalm 119. so it said over there
how much I love your Torah and it says
so you see the suwak has connected the
turret so we see that lasua connected to
what to to prayer and to Torah what does
that mean so whatever is saying wasn't
impractically that starting from 90
years and it was from when the rabbi
rasham said this this course then now we
have the ability to reach the completion
of learning Torah and praying
and as we see this idea that after a
certain period of time you reach a whole
different level so everybody gives an
example like we've brought down and it
says that up until 40 years a person
doesn't get complete understanding of
his teacher so you learn something from
a teacher one year two year and then 40
age 40 40 from when you heard that
teaching that's when you really really
get it in other words
you can learn it and you get deeper and
deeper as we know the Torah is infinite
but after 40 years you'll reach a whole
different level
so if it applies to H to 40 so how much
more so the supply after 90 years in
other words I never never makes a
disclaimer obviously it's
self-understood that doesn't mean that
when you reach 90 you can't go higher so
you can go higher but it means when you
reach 90 now you go on a whole different
level exponentially higher and obviously
on that level you have to go even deeper
um you have to you have to keep on
growing in a holy level you have to go
deeper into it et cetera et cetera and
the same thing also applies to the age
for it after 40 years this one it says
up and when a person gets a deep
understanding a whole different level at
eight after 40 years it doesn't mean
after 40 you can't go higher that means
when you reach 40 years you reach the
very very high low level and now you
have to keep on going higher
or like for example Larry gives another
example which broke down an atonement it
says that let's say you're a teacher and
you have students so talmud says that
your students are called your sons
and the teachers call the father on a
spiritual level what does that mean and
it's brought down the talmud it says
like this that
is
that the the power of the child is more
powerful than the father what does that
mean
the fact is where's the the child come
from the child comes from the father
so what does it mean that the child can
be more powerful than the father because
the fact is because the father can have
tremendous Powers but they're concealed
and it's not revealed by the parent
and it could be so concealed that he
doesn't even know that it's concealed
and where does it get revealed it gets
revealed by the child
and like Darius says it's actually
brought down a Jewish law that there are
certain things that the child is better
than the father why because the father
has it but it's deep down buried
somewhere but then the child it's in a
revealed state so that's when a father
and a son a parent and a child but a
saint applies to a teacher and a student
that there's certain powers that
students have to to create novel ideas
revolutionary break breakthrough ideas
which a teacher didn't teach them
in other words because it was obviously
buried somewhere deep deeply buried in
the teacher
and
ever since this is actually the
explanation what it's brought down and
it says that anything that a student a
capable student is going to come up with
a novel idea everything was talked by
from God
to mostly not Mount Sinai as we know it
says clearly Maisha key will tell me
tonight wasn't he received he received
the whole Torah he received the whole
Torah not everything was revealed then
in other words moisture received
everything but sometimes you steal the
revealed way and some were going to
concealed me and a capable and a
committed student will bring out those
things that were concealed in a revealed
way
I know so let's bring it back full
circle
this that we say that when you when when
we reach the age 90 years after teaching
the river Assad so we get the power
of a whole new complete level in
learning
and the same would apply obviously in
reference to this to the discourse so
I'm saying this powerful teaching that
we have the power to connect to infinite
which is to talk to everybody it's 90
years later so we can go much deeper
into this teaching
and everyone says he'd like to finish
off his fathers should be the will of
Hashem that it should feel it should be
fulfilled within us and every single one
of us but the verse continues on to say
after it says
old which is referring to what gray here
which referring to a very very powerful
infinite lights Bubba young he's
complete and he's complete in in an
infinite way totally complete so which
we feel the what does it say afterwards
by Hashem when he reached that level
blessed with everything now what does it
mean with everything it's referring to a
revelation similar to it's gonna be like
a mashiach comes with the world to come
like it says in the talmud a very
powerful teaching that three people
Hashem allowed them to taste in this
world what the world is going to be like
what Messiah comes
four to three people are from Aveeno
what's the connection so in reference to
Alvin Vino it says
in reference says Mikko in reference to
yaakov it says
all these three Hashem allowed them to
taste
and these three ideas is it's not just
the average in the past but it really
has a connection to either of each and
every one of us why because we say the
grace after meals every single day and
especially we say them Shabbat because
we know to eat and wash and do the grace
of the meals and what do we say in the
grace of the meal do you say harah come
on and we that we and we make a special
blessing and we say
no just like you blessed our forefathers
avram
and we use the term Bako mikoko because
hashan bless everyone with Bakugan with
me and Jacob would curl and and in the
way that we we eat and we're satiated we
bless Hashem so we're asking Hashem to
bless us those blessings and this gets
yes this this gets affected in us up um
that everyone has the power and the
ability to reveal that from a feeling
that we have within us
not just an ancient history we have a
very being within us and like the alto
explains in Tanya just like we have the
moisture abandoned within every one of
us we also have a very very loss so if
we will receive the powerful blessings
and we'll have we'll come to the point
and we'll see we'll see the The Godly
light in our lives and Hashanah is going
to allow us to taste in this world what
it's going to be like
and it was literally in a literal
blessing that Hashem shall bless each
and every one of us physically and
spiritually and spiritually and
physically with good that you can see
and totally revealed
so here you have another beautiful
powerful acidic discourse in the river
practical discourse about
the idea of coming in complete days but
not only coming completely is in a
finite level coming complete day is an
infinite level and will come in complete
days and we'll be blessed with the
greatest blessings of avram us
and we'll all have God willing a great
and amazing week thanks so much for
joining us for our students class and
let's hope as we always finish off our
next class will be in yerushalayim here
have a great and blessed week
