Welcome to our class Uncle so this we're
going to be learning this week a
beautiful acidic discourse in the river
the name of the discourse is called
the Reba said this Hasidic discourse of
Shabbos purchase
that year it was on the eighth day of
the month of March 1 in the year
35 years ago so again the name of the
discourse is based on the opening verse
in this week's Torah portion where
Hashem says to Abram
and the river brings that's brought down
in different Hasidic discourse from the
previous
they explain two different insights on
this verse one Insight is when it says
so where are you going from where to
where so the term in Kabbalah called
you're going from a very very high place
and you're going down to a low place we
don't mean high and low physically we
mean high and low spiritually so the
first Insight is that you're going from
a high place down to a low place and
obviously based and based on this inside
so they interpret the verse where it
says Hashem says
the place you were born from your
parents home is referring to the spirit
on a spiritual level the 10 series
amount of the highest free of the words
can you start from Kessler you start
from kakuma going down through the
intellectual spheres the emotional
spheres down to tamales so that's the
first Insight that the journey is
from the higher to the lower
on the physical level also on a
spiritual level in the journey through
the spirit
the second Insight is that the journey
is taking place of
like in the first way but the second
interpretation is that it's calling me a
matolo Milo it's going from below and
high and again we say low to high we
don't mean physically you mean on a
spiritual level So based on that how do
they interpret the verse that it says
in your birthplace and from your parents
homes referring to the journey
therefore it's referring to their
Journey as a spheroids going mil Mata
Loma which is starting from through the
emotional spheroids through the
intellectual spheres on optical now
you're going to say what does this mean
what does that do practically so we're
going to learn what does it mean
practically with the journey is going
from high below to or below on high
now so based on this so in this verse of
Allah it's referring to again based on
each side it has a connotation for both
type of Journeys the Journey of from
high to low according to the first
insight and the journey from below and
high based on the second Insight now
what does that mean practically
obviously it's Deep Cover lipstick stuff
what does it mean practically in Hebrews
come by then what does that mean in our
service of Hashem so it's referring to
the two different ways we connect to
Hashem there's one way we connect us on
by learning Torah and it's another way
we connect this am I doing mitzvahs
tell your ass you know when you learn
Torah Tara is a big gift from Hashem so
you stand to learn Terry what's what are
we doing yeah true we're sitting and
learning but the light of the Torah the
power of the Toyota comes in our life so
toyu is referring to the avoida of what
Milo Mata which means you're drawing in
Godly infinite energy into your world
into yourself into the community you're
in the place you're learning Etc
and as the verse says clearly Community
spoke from Heaven he spoke from a very
high place so Toy Rose represented the
idea of lamonto so anytime you sit down
to learn Terry you're drawing in a Godly
light like for example now we're
learning Torah we're learning we're
we're bringing in a Godly light into
this place what are we doing yeah true
we're learning but it's not we're not
bringing the energy the energy is coming
from Hashem
you know when you do a Mitzvah whether
it's Castro chabas fill in mezuzah the
613 Commandments 248 positive 365
negative anytime you do a Mitzvah
basically you're taking this
materialistic world and you're infusing
it with Godly energy so that's called
Milo
in other words the purpose is to elevate
the physical world
with the physical world the physical
components that you're doing the
Mitchell with so for example you you
take a massage you took a piece of hide
you took ink and you elevated you turned
into something Godly
another was before it was it was it was
neutral territory and afterwards it
becomes an Hebrew it's called tashmi
Mitzvah or tashmi Sheikh dusa it gets
imbued and infused with Godly energy
so those are the two types of
my law in a practical sense where it's
talking about this verse either learning
Torah bringing Godly energy down to this
world or by doing a mental transforming
the world now
since these both of these ideas
in our case would be learning Toronto or
mil matalamyla or in the Practical case
doing Mitzvahs they're both in this same
in this in this one verse
so obviously it's not only about there's
one there's one route of learning Torah
another mouth doing Mitzvahs but the
goal is to unify the two together they
should have both both Bringing Down The
Godly energy and both transforming the
world now
since on a spirit on a on a like we
learned before on it on a practical
level avoid us to Autumn we have these
two types of of relationships which is
one
learning Torah and bringing it down to
this world and doing Mitzvahs
um you're you're elevating the world so
obviously just like we learned before
that you have the fusion of the two the
same thing also when it comes to our
service of Hashem our connecting Hashem
there's another whole level we refuse
the two which we have together
now
not only did I take it a step further of
it says that
when you learn Tyree you got one type of
reward for bringing Godly light into
this world when you do a Mitzvah you get
another type of reward for elevating the
world but when you fuse the two it's a
whole different level of a reward
because you're doing
and bringing down Godly energy and
you're elevating the world in the same
on the same level
so where do we see this idea of all
three levels and again in terms of
serving Hashem on the third level and
also in terms of the reward we're going
to have for doing all these three levels
never explain it as follows
it's brought down represents many acidic
discourses based on the verse in
Leviticus with with Chestnut Torah
because
God says I'm going to walk amongst you
now so what Hashem says he said I'm
going to walk what does that mean not a
one-time stroll he's Hashem is always
going to walk within us
in other words what does that mean he's
always going to walk within us whether
whether we're bringing down the Godly
light into this world through learning
Torah or we're doing a midsole elevating
the world Hashem is always with us
whatever we do Hashem is with us now
this verse where it speaks about in in
Leviticus
um about
what is it referring to says discourses
and based in Kabbalah and so on et
cetera it's referring to that when is
Hashem going to walk with us constantly
it's referring to the ultimate blessing
which is because right now we don't say
you see God walking with us
we're going to feel God's presence
within us constantly
in other words so you see from here
what's the ultimate goal and what's
going to happen what's the novel idea
what's going to happen in the future
you're going to have the union of both
of both Bringing Down The Godly energy
into this world and elevating the world
and the union of the two in other words
I like your author we know the author
explains in Tanya a classical
revolutionary in the Italian doctor
writes in chapter 37 and Tanya that
everything that's going to take place in
the future when mashiach comes
how are we going to Merit those
Revelations that comes through and I'll
say it in Hebrew I'll translate
when we do our work and we do our
transformation in this world that's what
caused the Great revelation
so the same thing also applies to this
idea this that we say will Messiah comes
we're going to have
on the fusion of the two that comes
through arguing our work in this world
which basically is drawing down the
light through learning Torah elevating
the world through doing Mitzvahs and
creating the fusion of the two
um of both Bringing Down the garlic and
transforming the world
so whatever says he'd like to uh um to
connect this idea in other words that
that the spiritual work of
which is again Bringing Down the golly
Knight transforming the world and the
fusion of two which will bring to the
ultimate Redemption the Revelation and
the reward that's going to happen
he's going to connect with what it's
brought down in a Civic discourse from
the from the rebel marash
the fourth command rabba who is known as
the river he always has his his ideal
life was always go to the top always go
overboard in other words people say the
expression he says some people say you
go through you try to go through the
door if you can't go through it go to
the window he says to begin with go to
the window go go above board go to begin
with go for go for the highest level
says it's actually the first Hasidic
discourse that the Reverend said after
he became a rather
so he brings a powerful teaching from
The Madras called the yalca and he says
like this
and it's on this verse so he brings the
mattress it says Robert says that there
are five letters which are doubled what
are the five letters there are double
double so it's easy to remember it's a
there's a word so to speak I speak about
five letters it's called
It's Made of the letters
now men we know is a double letter comes
a meme and a final name
known as a double letter because it's a
regular note and a final known Sonic is
a regular sardic and a final tonic and
pain is a regular pay in a final pay and
craft is a regular half in the final
half
those are called the double letters
those are the only ones that have
doubles again
now every one of these five letters that
are double are all connected in some way
to some kind of redemption so this is a
realism so he says for example the Huff
the letter Huff that's the letter that
was used that of ramadino was redeemed
for more custom
where do we see it this week star
portion
so you see the when Hashem tells him
okay I'm taking you out of her constant
you're going to go on to a New Journey
I'm redeeming you taking you to the next
level what is the letter that's used
so the khaf is connected to idea of
redemption
that was Abraham's Redemption Deborah
doesn't mention it the pay is connected
going out of Egypt like it says
Etc
and then the lettered Sonic is connected
to the one that Hashem is going to
ultimately take the Jewish people out of
Exile as the verse says
the Redeemer is called Summer
is going to sprout out from him so in
other words the Sonic has connected to
Gula which comes
and the reverence connection
because we know that the whole idea of
Shabba Shabba says double like
discourses that is
idea of double and the double of Shabbos
was again when it's doubles connected to
Redemption I like the other says the
like the author explains that lens
in in the first discourse all right so
what do we see from here
that the the the the two the the the the
rubber brings the neverminds that the
the letters that are double mem
are connected to Redemption the half of
connect the Redemption and that Sonic is
connected to what uh Abraham's
Redemption and the sonics connected to
the Future Redemption so you see already
there's a connection with the initial
external portion with and the future
Redemption
like you already said before the voice
that we do now will create our future
Redemption so you see it they reconnect
between the Redemption of and the
ultimate Redemption is a real connection
it happens he'd like to add as follows
to draw in the double in other words the
double letters
and we want to have the double letters
we want to have the we want to
ultimately have the ultimate Redemption
of the assalamicia is going to come so
how do we draw that in how do we create
that magical energy since the goal is to
have the double letters and the double
letters of Sonic is going to bring
mashiach and it's going to bring the
future so we all love to have it so
which button do we push to bring in the
double layers of Sonic which we're going
to bring about the gula
Trevor says that we know what we need to
do to join the Redemption is by doing
the work like it says in the prophets
keep flying with Russia when we do
whatever we're supposed to be doing we
do it in a double way anything you do in
a double way when you double up it
creates Redemption and drama says it's
brought down in many places and say this
what is what is the avoida what is the
work that we can do which is which
corresponds to can fly emphasia when we
do things on and we double it up that
will bring the ultimate ghoula which is
which is the Redemption which is based
on the double letter
server explains like this
the work that we can do is the volume of
troval we return to our sample whatever
level we at we return to Hashem so the
power of trueva is that has the power of
conflium doubling up and we double up
that cause of the Redemption what what's
the connection never explains as follows
when we say the prophet says could fly
him double for for salvation for against
what does that mean
so it doesn't only mean if you have one
and you have two so that's double two is
doubled on one but it's deeper than that
not only is it quantitatively double but
it's the the second thing that's there
is much greater you can't even compare
to the first so it's only a quantitative
double it's actually a qualitative
double
and that's the power of chuva of
repentance why
because we know what's the what's the
the regular way the way about Sonic the
wave at sound like a righteous person
it's called the yasara it's a straight
way it's Sonic goes a straight way
and based on the verse it says also
Allah
God made the person straight go to the
regular parents you get up you do it
you're supposed to you don't do you're
not supposed to that's the way of
autonic that's the way of a righteous
person
there's an expression called
it's consistent it's steady it follows
through that's the point of at Sonic
there's no there's no bumps in the road
but then there's a whole different level
of serving Hashem that is the avoid them
about true about true verse full of
bumps in the roads you do good things
and you mess up and then you do truva
and you come back so the expression
right about it says
when they do something which is not not
okay and you do something which is
supposed to be a rebellion against
Hashem so when the person does true of
all when a person returns to Hashem the
returning to Hashem has the power that's
something that was wrong could become it
could become something which is very
very good
or like the expression is
you add to it in other words and that's
the connection when we say Shabbos is
double why because in Shabbos what do
you have you have besides the chakras
pray that you have every single Lane of
prayers and Shabbos yeah the the the the
um the Muslim service and what's ideal
it's double not only is there a
secondary but it's even more than the
mornings for nursery in other words
besides from the regular
good things that you do you also have
the uh the opportunity to take things
which are negative and transform into
something positive
and when a person goes ahead and let's
say for example does good Mitzvahs he
does praise and he studies and he does
mitzvos it's amazing but do everything
you bounce up and you don't do something
you do the wrong thing and then you go
ahead and you do truva so you're taking
something which is broken and you turn
it on something positive so not only do
you have two positive things but you
have something that was broken and turns
into positive so it's a whole different
level
and that's why we brought down into town
when it says a a place where baltuva's
fans
a Sonic Gummer a complete side that
doesn't stand there that's what that's
one that's one way it's written again
the place where a balchuva stands a real
Sonic does not stand there in other
words and then there's another way to
that that's that it's written that in a
place of altrua stands not only a Sonic
doesn't stand but it goes even further
and says it sounded doesn't even have
the ability to stand there in other
words according to the way first the
first way it's written a place where
Sonic is you're basically about two ways
that Sonic doesn't stand there okay that
means there's a there's a topic and
about two of us on a higher level on
that side they cannot stand there
good
so that's like it's like the Multiverse
like a double a quantitative double but
according to the second Insight we're
saying is no the ultra is not only
quantitatively double he's qualitatively
double why because the fact that it's on
the Kent even standard which means he
doesn't have the ability to stand there
and like the Roman writes that about
when reference of altruva that every
single person could be about tuva but
nevertheless a child that cannot stand
there
why because it's a whole different level
so you see when a constable true but
there's two different levels of altruva
there's one where it's quantumly more
than Atomic a topic is on one level I'm
not sure there's a higher level but then
we'll say no no well true is not only a
higher level he's on a level that Atomic
doesn't have the ability to reach that
level and that's why it's brought down
and says that mashiach comes one of the
jobs he's going to go ahead and Inspire
Sadiq him to do he's going to inspire
righteous people to return to Hashem
that literally even great the greatest
Sadiq and the greatest completes of the
game they will have the power of true
because the power of true is huge now
even though they didn't have
they didn't do anything wrong but the
that is the novel idea that's the
mashiach is going to accomplish
he's going to create something a whole
new idea because
since I'm trying to can't reach out
levels the Messiah is going to
accomplish a a a uh novel idea
a possibility we really wasn't possible
that the sadly can reach the level of
alchema even the level where we said
before it's a time that cannot reach
that level
so again so what do you see from here
that the power of chuva is so strong
which is double not only quantitative
it's qualitative double and that will
give us the ultimate that will give us
the the key to bring about the ultimate
Redemption by doing truva not only
well that's true this thing you do true
love but even a tonic will do true of
them and that will bring the ultimate
ultimate Redemption So based on this
Robert explains that's why he says
why say twice
because it's referring to two different
ways we serve Hashem one is like we
learned before
which you said that's represented by our
avoid of doing Mitzvahs
are coming from a high level down to low
which we already spoke before that's
idea about learning Torah but in both
cases we're going to do it with the
introduction and we're going to start
the process of learning to and doing
midsource by doing true of first
and that's and that's it that's embedded
in the words
because
the fact that they're both in the same
verse means is one that unites the two
what unites the two that's when we do
true but for do do we do true at first
and we do true but first we unify the
Torah and the metroids and as represents
we know that when a person starts off
whether it's learning to everyone doing
mentions you start off with the
introduction I'm doing Shuma so you're
learning is different your mistration is
different and it's actually called my
sim to even the actions become actually
good and the theorem they shine and and
it's you it's a unique way because for
example you can learn you can do midst
without doing true love fine you learned
you're born in great light you do a
Mitzvah you transforming the world but
when you start off with chuva it's a
whole different literal learning it's a
whole different Mitzvahs which will
ultimately bring the greatest
um Revelation in the future because it's
coming from like from a double place
and when we take upon this this avoidal
of of starting off everything we do with
truth but we're turning to Hashem it's
all about our relationship
and it says
will come to the ultimate promise
of where the Prophet says
I'm going to walk amongst you which we
already learned that it's referring to
when mashiach comes and like it says
before that in the verse
I will take you while you're standing
upright and like the commentary say
conveys climates on two levels and which
is referring to again the two two
different levels of
matter which is through learning
through doing this voice and you're ever
finished up beautifully and he says
fulfilled within us
at a literal level the verse that it
says
we shall leave our land our our place we
are born our parents home when we should
go to the land that Hashanah is going to
show us which we know is literally
referring to the land of Israel
up to the point as the verse continues
in our in our third portion
everyone is everyone's um is going to be
bless through us and we're going to make
a a dwelling place for Hashem down in
this world and how's that going to
happen specifically by going ahead and
spreading the teachings like we're
learning now we're learning we're
learning all over the YouTube all over
the world all over the internet
and especially in the year of haquel we
know this is the year of Hanka we have
the midst of the Gathering Jews from all
over the world and by by spreading to
this by gathering Jews from all over
we're going to Merit to a whole new
level of Torah and a whole new level of
holy level of joy and we'll be able to
make a dwelling place for Hashem in this
physical physical materialistic World up
to the point like it says in in the
prayers
we're going to establish the world the
world is going to recognize the name of
Hashem or like it says in the prophets
it will be God is going to be the king
of the world
and what how's that and what what type
of level is going to be in a level La my
law Nicole meditabagbola it's going to
be in a Way Beyond limits Beyond any any
calculations infinite like the verse
says
Jerusalem is going to be spread out all
over the world and it's together with
being spread out so the prophet says I'm
gonna be I'm gonna be for you a wall of
fire which technically is two opposites
on one hand we're saying is we're going
to spread that all over the other hand
we need something to protect to protect
us just like for example the midst of
hot kill on one hand
it's in the midst of hack applies to
every single Jew when he's sitting under
his uh under in his house with his with
his Vineyard
Etc but nevertheless you have to gather
everyone together so it's also two
opposites on one hand we're sitting in
our house in our private house with all
our blessings our Vineyard Etc but now
they had were gathered all together so
how does that happen how do we have both
how do we have on one hand we're going
to be spread out all over the other end
Hashem is protecting us with a fire no
one should harm us because that comes
rubber says through atmosa the essence
of Hashem and we know the essence of
Hashem is which means he can he can
handle opposites on one hand we can each
be in our own home and the other ones
who all be United the one that we spread
all over and the other hand Assurance
protecting us and
ultimately we'll we'll have the
Revelation what's going to be like
mashiach comes like the prophet says
so we're going to recognize who our
teacher is and we're going to see our
teacher we're going to see a cuttersburg
who and Robert finished off and says to
happen back Allah
happened right here right now and God's
willing
um
as the the Revelation takes place with
the with like service says by Goldie Don
God's willing our next class will be in
your
ears so as you can tell it's a very very
powerful discourse with a practical
application how we have the power by
doing True by returning to Hashem
learning Terror afterwards doing
Mitzvahs we will Merit the greatest
Revelations of the Redemption in a real
practical way by our avoidance that
we're doing now so let's hope and pray
we all do truvo we return to our son we
learn we do mid toys and God's willing
our next class will be in yerushalayim
have a great and blessed week
