welcome to our class on this
we're going to be learning this week a
beautiful city discourse from the rebbe
the name of the hasidic discourse is
called ani hine brisi italk
the rebel said this acidic discourse and
shabbat
which was the eighth day of the month of
march
in the year tough shin memdallied 38
years ago so again the ver the civic
discourse is based on the verse in this
week's torah portion where it says ani
hinesi
as for me
this is my covenant with you you shall
be the father of a multitude of nations
so the rapper says it's known
the question of the alter asks on this
specific discourse when he said it in
the year tough summer base exactly 220
years ago
and all services it's actually expressed
in a different almost a little different
version in the book of iraq torah of the
time
that he did they somehow said the rights
of the altar but heard it
from his teaching the maggot of message
and the question he asks is what's the
connection
between the idea that when a brahmavinu
gets circumcised that's when he becomes
the father of the multitude of nations
until the circumcision he was not the
father of the multi of nations once he
became circumcised what happened in
circumcision that that thing shifted
so there are brings in the altar that
explains this follows
that we know that our brahmavinu
represented the idea of khasit
in other words even though abramovino
has all the spheres everybody has all
this viewers but his predominant force
what he was known for what he excelled
in was it was in developing in the
middle of hesset
abram represented kindness
and like we know the famous the story in
in uh that's brought down in russian
on the torah that abraham was in pain
because he couldn't do it
why cause hassan wants to do
needs to do
and if you take away the opportunity
from someone that says
it's very very painful
that's on a simple level
also according to kabbalah as we know
that abraham avinu personified the mid
the media the attribute of khasid
and like it's brought down the meadows
it says that the others are the recover
they're the chariot for hashem which
means practically avraham avinu was the
chariot of the media of khasid he's the
one that brought hassan into the world
and like there are brings in the safer a
boyer that says as follows that midas
the attribute of khasid
tells akadeshwar who tells hashem from
the days that our brahma vino came down
to the earth i'd have to do my work why
why not to do herself because our
brahma's doing it he's standing and he's
serving the people and the world with
hassan
in other words so rama venus
didn't start with circumcision he was
always questioned he was always taking
care of the whole world
so if that's the case it comes back to
the question since i'm vernon venus
he was always tested and he was taking
giving castle to the whole world so what
happened over here at circumcision that
all of a sudden now he becomes the
father of the multiple nations he was
always he always cared about everybody
not only that when abraham avino gave
out
it wasn't as he only gave out he was
drawing that wasn't his own
he was drawing down in this world
he was bringing down powerful like
powerful energy of qasim into this world
from a very very high place
the sense of brahma was doing not just
feeding people but he's bringing down
kindness through the light and energy
into this world from very very high
places
so therefore he was able to draw in
souls very very high souls even for the
nations of the world
because he was drawing down high from
high places high souls down to this
world to everybody even the nations of
the world had high souls thanks to
brahmavinu distributing customs to the
world
now
harness doesn't work so we know that
even though khasir is one on the sea
the way the sphero work is that you have
the three intellectuals we wrote you
have the six emotionals we wrote
and the sixth of the last of the
emotional cereal is called yosoid your
site is what
connects yourself
to the next
generation which is malchus
so your sight is the last
driving force that drives all the
spheroids so even though vermin was
that's who he was but how did he go out
to the world through the media of yasoid
now a brahmavino at that point was not
circumcised
so when he wasn't circumcised qasim was
going through usaid which is the place
of the circumcision and before he was
circumcised that the foreskin was there
as well
so because the foreskin was there so
castro was going through your sword but
it was also going into the foreskin and
therefore casted was going to therefore
have said was able to bring down high
souls into the nations of the world as
well
and the arabic gives for example an
example an example of this
and we find that avraham avina was able
to bring down holy very very high
powerful souls into this world
through
the assay that went through the foreskin
before was cut off and they give an
example that there was high holy souls
in those extreme souls to ever use the
expression of extremes saddiqui muslim
extreme souls even in the nations of the
world so he gives an example
one example we find that who was who
existed in that time a holy soul for the
nations of the world we find mr shalak
we learned about in last week's portion
and specifically when it comes to this
highly uh high soul this highly extreme
athadic as mr
this is a it's just an extreme example
the rubbish says why
because besides the fact that we know mr
selak lived for how many years he lived
for a long time he lived for
969 years almost a thousand years he
lived
what does that mean how did he live so
long because that's
means he's he was given he was given
energy he was given life and he lived a
long life
not only did he physically live a long
life
but the
impact that mr
had
wasn't only in himself that he was a
tadik but he actually impacted a
generation
and we're not just talking about a
random generation mr shallah had a
tremendous impact on the generation of
the flood the derhamal which we know
that durham will wicked people
as as we learned last week in the torah
portion that when hashem was going to
bring the flood
so hashem said he's um he he waited he
waited to bring the flood
after mr shalap died
for seven days this is not one mr shadow
was alive for sure while he was alive he
waited give him shallow contents to
inspire people to true but even after he
passed away respect to mr shellach for
the seven days that people were mourning
him the flood didn't start yet
in other words not only while he was
alive
was he able to hold back for the flood
from coming
because he was a tonic interceding on
behalf of the people let me try to
inspire them to do shiva but even after
he passed away
the flood did not start for seven days
out of respect to this highly powerful
sadiq as mr shellach
even though the fact is we know the
torah says clearly hashem says
hamas the earth was corrupt
and it was corrupt that had to be
destroyed and that the flood had to
start but in the sake and the merit of
mr shallow such a high today the flood
did not start yet and matter of fact we
know that the generation of the flood
the rubber says was worse than the
generation of the dispersion there are
floca later on at the end of the last
week's torah portion
and as as rashi explains that the
generation of the flawed because they
weren't getting along or decided he was
going to wipe them out however the
generation of the dispersion that they
were rebelling against hashem because
they got along he wasn't going to write
them out but mr shellac lived when in
the durham
and even though it was such a corrupt
generation and again worse than the
daraaflogger nevertheless hashem waited
for the tzadik
even after he passed away for the seven
days
so you see how powerful what kind of
great sadiq came to the world thanks to
bravino
now the fact is jefferson goes a step
further when hashem stopped the flood it
wasn't just he stopped the flood in this
world it didn't rain we know when it
rained in this world it rained in all
the worlds all on all the heart and all
the levels of the worlds starting from
all the way on high and the flood waited
on all levels it wasn't just that it
came down and just didn't come down to
this world on all the levels that didn't
reign
so you see again how powerful mr shah
was
now
not only that take it a step further
as long as it didn't rain
because while he was alive
and even after he passed away
someone else what happened if everyone
did chuva people repented
hashem wanted to brought the flood but
it was ready rain and store so it would
have turned into from being a mammal a
flood it would have been gesta would
have been it would be a reign of a
blessing which is the ultimate blessing
you take something that would have been
a flood then it becomes a blessing so mr
was able to withhold the marble with and
it could have actually turned a
tremendous blessing
so what you see from here clearly is
that before avraham avinu was
circumcised there were holy souls
and those drawing down hassan into this
world
very very high question high pressure
into this world and even in the nations
of the world that was all through a
drama video because he wasn't
circumcised so went through the foreskin
and the whole world was able to benefit
from the customer of rome
and based on this river explains that's
why we can understand
specifically after
vino was circumcised now he became the
father the multitude of nations not
before why
because what does it mean
the father of the multiple nations
what does ave mean so av means the
father which means he becomes the ruler
over them the father is the one that's
in charge
so up until the circumcision yeah he did
a lot of kasura brahmavinu and he
brought down holy souls into the world
but he wasn't the ad he wasn't the
father he wasn't the ruler of the world
why is that because before the
circumcision
so hassan was coming down
and holy souls were coming down to the
world coming down to the nation of the
world nations of the world as well
so therefore rum wasn't a ruler over
them they had full access they had
chassed
it was there was no there was no there
was no filter on the qasid there was
crested all over the place in the
nations of the world also true was
through abraham avinu but they had qasid
how can he rule over them they had high
level and so on and so forth but what
happens once our brother vegan was
circumcised
and now this the foreskin was taken away
in other words your side is pure and
there's not going to be any leakage to
places where it's not supposed to go
in other words nations of the world are
not going to receive any more hasseth
through the assad because the arla which
is the place that it was leaking out to
the world is not there anymore so
there's no way to leak out so the only
place that went is where it was
appropriate to go
so therefore
after
the circumcision
now the only way for them to get kased
is through abramovino and that's when
abram became a abha
because they all had to get it from him
directly specifically through yasoid
and then abraham avina became the al
hamoid the ab the father the ruler
over the nations of the world
so that's basically the river brings
from the altar explains why only at
circumcision did he become the alpha man
just to recap because up until the
circumcision
was made
and was going through his yasoid but
because there was a foreskin so he was
able to go into the nations of the world
and they had holy people and therefore
he wasn't the ruler they had plenty of
other rulers in the world however once
he was circumcised so now the foreskin
went off so therefore the the the energy
of custod went into directed and
appropriate places they had no source
they weren't able to leech out of
herself so now they came to brahmavinu
and he was the leader of the of all the
of all the nations in the world
the rabbi now brings another
insight another interpretation of what
it says
he was the father of the multiple
nations the first we learned he was he
he was the father of he was the rule of
all the nations of the world there
brings out another insight
in is referring to that he was the
father of gayrim
converts
people that converted and came out
and became jewish
now
how does someone how does someone
convert
has a male convert a male converts
through
circumcision so you see again that what
was the question what's the connection
between that he became the father of
hamoin now we're translating as he
became the father of the converts so he
became the father of converts and it
happens through circumcision that's one
of the ways of becoming a convert for at
least for a male now
that's on a simple level now that was
going to explain it kabbalistic and it's
really really beautiful and powerful it
sounds like this
he explains within acidic discourse
that before abramovino circumcised
so what happened there were holy souls
that were coming down even to the
nations of the world because he had the
foreskin that was allowing it to leach
out to the nations of the world
now so because they were they were
receiving the energy throughout from
renegotiate through the foreskin so
there was no reason to convert to
judaism
why because in the nations of the world
they also had holy people
they were very very holy souls
so what was what what's the what's the
attraction to convert to to to becoming
a jew they had they had powerful
energies true was coming through our
bombing but they had it they went they
had they had a holy people there
holy souls however after from being
circumcised
now they're lacking
that source of very very high souls
because now it was cut off once the
circumcision took place
so now they were looking for something
holy something godly they didn't have it
they didn't have holy souls anymore so
therefore they came to abramovino to
convert why because they wanted to have
that godliness and they weren't able to
get it once everyone was circumcised
and based on this ever explains what's
why it says in the discourse
that's why for example when you look at
converts that come to judaism
so they don't come from ishmaelites why
is that
because when was yeshmael born
ishmael was actually born before the
circumcision
ishmael was born before the circumcision
now therefore
so they also have holy souls but since
he was born before the circumcision so
where did you small get the energy from
he got it through the foreskin and
through your small there is some holy
energies in the nations of your smile
and that's why it says abram
yatsam and ishmael your smoke came from
brahmavinu from the original part before
the circumcision
and therefore there's no there's no
reason for them to convert you don't
find a lot of conversions by them why
because he was born before the
circumcision powerful idea you know by
ishmael there is holy energy that came
through the foreskin and therefore they
have holy holy holy souls and therefore
you don't find we don't find converts
from there however when it comes to ace
of uh
ace of already is comes after the
circumcision and so there's much more
converts that come through asap why
because holy souls they don't have
anymore so but they're attracted to the
holiness and therefore they convert
he knows asia was born after the
circumcision
so it knows even though there's no holy
there's no holy souls because it's
already after the circumcision
but nevertheless they convert
because they're born afterwards they
want it they want to attract to the holy
energy and bashar explains that's why it
says in the torah key because
and doesn't
referring to the other other offspring
what is that not necessarily asa per se
but all the converts through asap
why because you have yitzgaku's
abraham's son and then you have the
converts of asav that that also part of
of rama venus offspring
ibrahim was the was the father of the
converts
now so based on this therapy explains
something very very powerful and very
problematic and he says like the follows
we know there's a there's a kabbalistic
truth
that any time there's a reader
any time there's a descent
any time there's a downgrade in
somebody's life
anytime you're going through a challenge
so you can look at it oh my gosh i'm
going through something terrible
kabbalah teaches us that you every
every literally every decent
every challenge every problem
every struggle
it's only a stepping stool
for a great elevation
so when you're going through a challenge
you can smile because even though right
now it's a challenge
but guess what there's a tremendous
elevation coming
you're going through a struggle yeah
it's a struggle agreed and it's painful
possibly but guess what from the
struggle is going to come a tremendous
elevation
and that's a truism in the world of
kabbalah and it's a true reality
after every challenge every struggle
something great happens
so based on this never asked a simple
question
we know that in mountain toy row when we
receive the terry from hashem what do we
say
hashem chose the jewish people out of
the nations of the world
foreign and he elevated us from all the
from all the different languages
so what does that mean we were chosen we
were elevated if we were chosen and
elevated
what happens to all the other nations of
the world that were not chosen
and weren't elevated
they have a urethra they were downgraded
by default
now
so if they were downgraded
where is there tremendous elevation
if by us being elevated they were
downgraded and with the rulers and you
have a downgrade there's an elevation so
where's the elevation of the nation of
the world
so rebel says based on we just learned
we explain it beautifully and very
simple and he says like this
what happened before mountain terrier
before we were chosen
before we were chosen before mountain
toro
how did the world exist
so we know the famous talmud that says
that when we say um
in psalms psalm 136
26 things that we're grateful to hashem
for his tremendous question
so the question is what's the 26 why 26
so it's referring to the 26 generations
until mountain torah
the 26 generations from hashem created
the world until mountain toronto so
those generations had the world exist we
know that when we learn torah that gives
life force and energy to the world
before we receive the torah so what's
giving life force to the world what's
giving life force to the world before
mountain toyota is question of hashem
so in other words before making torah
the world operated
kindness from himself
who received that kindness everybody
jew and andrew all the nations of the
world received that kindness
and like you ever said explain in the
talmud i mentioned there's 26
generations how did they receive
energies from the kindness of hashem
now
the kindness of hashem
is referring to
not only specifically the media of
khasir but it's actually all six
emotional uh cereals cassette words
paris
all seven all
seven steroids
and what level we know in the spheres
the highest sphero
is kessar
in kessler is two levels arctic is the
higher one iraq is the lower one so the
casa that was existing
and it was that was there was available
to everybody
the jewish people in the nation is the
world up until mountain toro comes from
either of optic which is the higher
level of kessler or the lower level of
kasser
now so since what happened was
qasid was strong
so up until mountain toro
conversion wasn't a real thing
because even the converts that that
converted in times of abraham they
turned but they they they didn't stay
converts
why because they had
why did they have to convert to judaism
everybody was getting from the question
of
so in other words there was no uread
over there
and therefore there was no reason to
have an alley to convert to judaism
but however what happened by mountain
toro
hashem chose the jewish people
he elevated us so now they had a
downgrade because now we became high and
they became lower
then what happened was they needed
aliyah where's the aliyah and their
episodes the alia is the fact that they
converted when they converted they were
able to reach a much higher level
because when the through the conversion
that's the ultimate in elevation
because they're reaching a much higher
level than before
and whoever brings practical examples as
we see that the converts to judaism
for example rob mayer
and ruby akiva
and it's brought down in many places in
hasidis
the real quality the super quality the
godly quality our mayor had and the
godly quality every keep ahead and both
of we know were converts
and specifically
specifically through those two converts
rab mayor and riakiva
we had tremendous powerful insights and
of revelations in the in the world of
torah from who from the converts again
to recap
what's the elevation yeah after tonight
so there was a downgrade and up until
martin terry didn't have to convert why
because they were getting from the
question of hashem but once they
realized
so they they realized oh my gosh we have
we have a downgrade so they came for the
light they came to be elevated and they
became converts and the conference
became very very powerful in the world
of judaism like for example may or may
keep it like he mentions over here and
like there were quotes in the talmud the
famous uh it's in the talmud they were
looking at all these different um
quotes and sayings that didn't have a
name associated to it so they're
associating oh this must be from this
rabbi this must be from that rabbi
based on the other teachings but the
talmud says
all of them
all these teachings are associated this
round like that right the other rabbi
they all go according to akiva why is it
called cointrekiva because they were all
students already akiva think about that
every one of these leading rabbis were
all students of rare keeper whoever keep
himself as the convert so the convert
put was able to produce students
leading students in judaism that all
were taught by the arakima the convert
that's in reference to akiba the same
thing also when it comes to our mayor we
know what it tells us in kazal
that why was he called mayor why was he
called light because he would basically
open up the eyes
of all the scholars in a locker he
showed them revelations and
understandings and depth that they
weren't able to see
up until the point that it says that the
greatest sages were not able to
comprehend the depth of of a mayor i
know there's a talmud says very
fascinating that a mayor can take
something which is impure
and he give you the best logic why he's
pure or something which is pure and give
you the best logic why it's impure and
they didn't know
when what he was teaching them is this
correct or not correct because it's
brilliant or so brilliant in torah
a matter of fact that's one of the
reasons why when there's an argument
between the mayor and yehuda that was
like
that you're able to understand and you
knew what
what what what the hell was remain you
weren't sure if it was if you were just
giving you like an intellectual
brilliant
exercise that wasn't necessarily held
out according to jewish law or not but
you see how powerful a mayor was andrew
mckeever as well
and there he brings us from the u.s army
that says follows the reakiva
putra
even though he said
that that the reference to rush be
that it's enough that me and you and
this that me and hashem understand how
powerful you are
but nevertheless he put nevertheless he
put mayor first so you see that the
converts
that converted to judaism
the aliyah that they had and the aliyah
that claudius had through them is
unbelievable and we all know today
enough to get the digress converts to
judaism are very very powerful and much
more holy than some of the holiest jews
why because that's the power of
conversion they came from a lower place
they realized oh my gosh they were not
chosen
and they wanted to have that so they
embraced it and they embraced it even
deeper and even stronger
so based on this you ever finish off and
he says that's why it says
that in other words after the
circumcision hashem says this is my bond
to you and now you're going to become
the father for the multitude of nations
again the first insight was the father
of all the nations because they didn't
have any more the source of light
because the cause of circumcision and
the second one that obama vienna became
the father of all the converts in other
words by taking off
the foreskin
from the circumcision so avrom became
the ab hamoi became the father and the
ruler of all the nations
and
up until the point it became in a re
real way in a revealed way
and as we know it says in the torah what
did what did what did they what did the
people tell the brahmavid when he came
to buy the the the the
the place to bury his wife uh sorry menu
they said the
they called them a prince simple people
they called them a nasty and a godly a
godly prince walkers they realized this
is the man of god
and we know our brahmavino he was the
beginning of all people that got so
circumcised
and
from there
every single jew they get circumcised is
connected to brahmavir circumcision
even though the river says even though
it's beforehand people were circumcised
not they circumcised they were born
circumcised but that wasn't that they
got terms that wasn't that wasn't
circumcision that they did by themselves
like abramovino why cause circumcision
started with a brahmavino and we have it
as an inheritance from abramovino
and it's going to become revealed the
fact that the hamoin that all the
nations of the world are going to
recognize that rama is the real leader
it's going to happen mashiach comes in
the future
when everything is going to be revealed
today we're living in a world where
there's concealment so not necessarily
openly people recognize it but when she
comes everything is going to be revealed
and there are quotes from the prophet
that says
hashem god is going to be revealed vero
called bossa yacht of every single
person of flesh of blood is going to
recognize all together and that what are
they going to recognize they're going to
see that the jewish people are the real
owners and rulers of the world and
they're the father the multiple nations
as the prophet says clearly
that god is going to be the king on the
world and
and
that's because before that's going to
fulfill the verse that says
that he's the hashem is going to cause
that all the nations of the world are
going to call out clearly and say that
hashem we want to serve the of the
we're going to learn we're going to
serve the one hashem and then it's going
to fulfill the
the prophet that says
that's what's going to be
recognizable as the the mountain of
hashem the basa mikdash and bono a love
color game all the nations of the world
afromoon game all the nations of the
world are going to come to serve hashem
and the same thing else not only in
russia america is right based on
but the whole israel as we know it says
in the torah tamid
kakaba the eyes of hashem are in the
land of israel be
racist of a doctor from the beginning of
the year to the end of the year and when
mashiach comes the fact is it's there
right now but
it's going to be in a revealed way
and what's going to happen then is first
all the jewish people are going to come
to eric israel and as the verse has been
arranged
with our youth and with our elders with
our children with our sons and our
daughters and then what's going to
happen is all the nations are going to
the world are going to come and they're
going to say lahu vinale let's go up to
the mountain of hashem when is that
going to happen never finished off and
he said it's going to happen in bigulo
hamidi
with the redemption the true redemption
the complete redemption and it's going
to happen through mashiach no
it's going to happen very very soon and
very very quickly again this is a very
very powerful acidic discourse
and it
teaches us the responsibility we have to
be the father of the multitude of
nations to teach
the jewish people the nations of the
world and together as the rebels said
we'll all merit the ultimate revelation
we're all going to see it with our own
eyes have a great and blessed week
shabua tov
