David: King Moshiach. ועבדי דוד A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class onus. We're going to be learning a beautiful discourse from the Reb. The name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse in Shabas. That year was the ninth day of the month of in the year which is exactly 39 years ago. So again the discourse is based on the verse in the prophets where it says my servant David is going to be the king over them. We're going to have one leader for all of them. This is a verse of the prophets that we read in the says it's known the discourse of the previousb on this verse which is already um published with the language of the way it was written and we know that when you read language it makes you actually smart and he starts it with a question why do we associate and attribute the king messiah to king David and we call him David and you can explain that he starts off with a question and many many discourses start off with a question because when you have a question so the explanation afterwards has a tremendous joy and energy usab it's enjoyable and not only that there's also an explanation of when you have an explanation after a question is the concept because when you're in dark and then you have light versus you just have light the light that comes after darkness is much greater or another terminology in Kabal called you have a light that shines straight but a light that bounces off is much stronger or like another concept there's something satis tremendous satisfaction when you put effort into something and he continues on over there that this that it says there's going to be um one one one leader is referring to we're not going to be split anymore into two kingdoms and like it says in the verses after Torah before that that he says that you should take one staff and you should write it on there for for the tribe of J Judah and for the Jewish people his friends and take another staff and you should write on there to Yseph um Fryim and all the Jewish people his friends and I'm going to take the staff of Ysef which is in the hands of Fryim and the Jewish people and his friends and I'm going to put it to the staff of Yehuda And I'm going to make one one staff out of both of them. And this is one of the explanations in reference to a parigosh because in parash it says a yehudah that Yehuda came close to us yud is coming close to y is the one that's standing is the leader and yud is confronting coming close to and like explained um the whole idea behind it and the same thing also where it says I'm going to give one staff yehuda and over there we're going to also create the union between Yehuda and Ysef. However, when you have the union between two people as Yehuda and Ysef, there's two possibilities like he explains over there. It's possible that Ysef is the king and Yehuda is coming to approach Ysef like it says in this week that Yehuda comes to Ysef and Yuzif is much higher than Yehuda and there's another way that no Yehuda is higher than Ysef and that's what you're going to have the union between Ysef and Yehuda and the future Mashiach comes in a way that David that Yehud is going to be is going to be the king that the king Messiah is going to come from Yehuda not from the para of Yehuda Ysef is the king. Yehuda is approaching Yseph. And when in the in the prophets referring to in the future, Yehud David from the tribe of Yehuda is going to be the king. And obviously we're going to bring Yseph close to Yehuda. Now to understand this idea know it's the idea of what of Yehuda and Yseph. So we have to know what does that mean practically and spiritually because everything ultimately in Judaism especially in Kabala is not just take you on a spiritual journey but it's there to help you serving Hashem. how we can serve Hashem better and since the ultimate goal is are doing our work. So therefore he explains it over there the way it is and I'll say it in Hebrew I'll translate how the person does a spiritual work and from our spiritual work that's the way it it trickles down all the level of all the worlds all the spirit etc. And what does he explain over here? Over there that and is Talmud studying Torah and MS are more actions. Now to be clear, everyone has to learn Torah and everyone has to do the mitzvot and everyone has to do mitzvot to learn Torah. No one's exempt from anything. But the difference is what's the strong suit. So, so Talmud learning to that was a strong s of and like it self understood what it says that Yakov sent Yehuda in front of him to to uh to to establish um yeshiva for the Jewish people in Egypt. In other words, the place of Talma for the Jewish people was in the land of Gish which is basically which was which is under the jurisdiction of Yseph. Even though he sent Yehuda, he sent Yudas to build the buildings, but ultimately is Tyra. And that's why also Y comes from the word of to add because the whole idea of Tory is to to get into it and to learn and ask questions and to grow from Tory to add in learning Torah. Now, even though you're going to say, what do you mean? everything that we that any idea that you come with already was given as Mount Si and yes but the fact is there has to be something revolutionary and there has to something you're adding with with a with a with a with a uh a sharp student comes up with something new obviously it was given before but you're revealing it that that was concealed until now so has got the idea of tora and adding in tora yud on the hand what's his strong suit action because the power of action and you and it's the lowest level just functional you're just doing something. Um whether whether it's a human and how much more so with the Jewish people that we're called and therefore this level of action is almost like it's going from the highest level to the low lowest level and that's why from the when it comes to action he's called Yehuda from acceptance just doing getting the job done. So what do we see clear that represents the idea of learning to and and growth and Yehuda represents action just doing it. Now when it comes to and action which again we said is connected more to and action more to so in the Talmud there's a big debate what what's greater is it greater to learn to or is it greater the action doing the mitzv one says obviously every debate one says Talmud is greater and he has his reasons and the other one says action is greater and they have their reasons now what happened at the end there was a resolution that said Tal is greater Talmud one debate. But the fact is we know that when there's an argument, both sides are really correct. One wins the debate, but both there's value on each side. So therefore, there's room for both opinions whether Talmet is greater or action is greater. And they're both words. They're both godly words. It's not like one is the second the second. No, they're both both first. But in reality, in reality, you need to have one ruling. So therefore they came along and they said that what Talmud is greater now what is the reason why Talmud's greater because Talmud brings you to do the action because you don't if you don't study Torah how you how you know what mitz how you know what mitzvah are and what to do and how to do them. So in other words, what's the real qual what's the real reason why action is greater? Because when a person does a mitzvah, you're transforming the world. And ultimately, it's about transforming the world. But in order to transform the world, you need the power from Tyra. And like we see literally in order to to fulfill the mitzvah, you have to go ahead and learn Tyra. You have to know what to do. So therefore because Tyra guides you what to do and how to do. So even though the action does the transformation but to get some credit for it because if you didn't learn to you wouldn't do it. So Tyra also has the quality and the benefit of transforming. He's like a partner with action and therefore Talmud is greater than action now and also spiritually because again action yes does a transformation but Talmet causes you to do the transformation. So Talmet has the wisdom plus it's a partner with with the transformation now but that's all today means in galut because today we have to transform the world. However, what's going to happen when future Mashiach comes there's nothing to transform anymore. The world's transformed like it says clearly in the prophets, the spirit of impurity is going to take away from the earth. So then what happens is the action is not about transforming anything. And therefore the the the action doesn't need the talma to tell you to do the mitzvah and how to do it because again it's nothing to transform anymore. So therefore the Talma doesn't really bring you to action and then action is going to be greater because action stands alone. It's not sitting based there's no partnership with with Talmud. You could say that the way that the the change is going to be in the ruling in the future when Msiah comes. In other words, they're going to obviously have to go ahead and have a discussion which one is greater Talmud or action and then they're going to rule. that action is greater and and and that's going to be ruling then and and that's actually the way the way is in Jewish law because you can have a possibility of changing a ruling from one one court to another court. Why? Because after they went ahead and they wrote they re revisited the issues and they have another ruling and not only that even in that generation we find that once they ruled as follows and later on they revisited the case and and they rule differently and how much more so when it comes we're going to have in the future the Sanhedrin of the future compared to the Sanhedrin of today that they're going to change they're going to change the ruling. Now what do we see from here that this that in the future Talma is not going to be greater. Why? Because Talma doesn't have the benefit that's causing action to be transformed. But on the other hand, the reason why that action is greater if there's no transformation because in the future we're going to realize and what's going to be revealed is the power of isafia acceptance inaction. In other words, action in order to do an action and especially not doing for transformation action requires I'll say the words in Hebrew bul and anivas. It requires accept acceptance. It requires humility. When you're learning I think like this and I think like that. That's my opinion. Your opinion is e the e ego involved where action has no ego involved. This is what Hashem wants me to do. He I'm ready to do it. So what's going to shine in the future in action? Why action is great? The greatest is because action represents humility, acceptance. And that's why it says my servant David is going to be the king because then in the future we're going even though we're going to have all the revelations and even the revelations that Talmud is so great because he's studying the wisdom of Hashem. But the real revolutionary idea is going to be in the future is going to be action. What means action? Acceptance. And that's why it's called my servant, King David. Because servant is represented by acceptance. When you just accept, you do what you have to do. And that's why the king Messiah is called David. Because the real quality of King David is humility. and like to explain the discourse. Even though he's going to be a great king, what did he call himself? I'm poor and destitute. What does that mean practically? He wasn't poor financially, but he was humble. He realized that the real power is Hashem. And that's why he was called a real a pious person. And that's the real power of King Mashiach because he's going to be 100% humble. And that's why the verse says David my servant King David is the king because in the future what's going to be revealed action action acceptance humility and we're going to have the building of the third temple which is exact which is already standing built and it's going to come down be revealed in the future and that's the ultimate of the creation of the world and of all the flow of all the levels of creation including the 50,000 jubilees which is all dependent and the future is dependent on our action now in exile that means even while we were in Egypt and the ultimate is going to be in the future when Mashiach comes and what's the ultimate going to be it's going to be much greater than than than the than the the third day which says twice it was good like said explained the previous for and what it says because I'm going to make you like a great nation in other words that the greatness of the Jewish people happens through our work in gulos. You want to know if we're great? Doing our work serving Hashem in exile. And then we're going to come to the building of the third temple and we're going to come with our children, our grandchildren, our elders, our grandparents, our sons, and our daughters. We're all going to return and it's going to happen. Here we have another beautiful discourse the abdiid the real power of action the real power of humility and like the Reb finishes off this is all going to be revealed when Msiah comes and let's hope we have the coming of Msiah and our next class will be in your have a great and blessed week
