welcome to our class on cassidis
we are going to be learning a very
special hasidic discourse
from the rebbe the rep sent us this
course
on um thursday parsha shifting which was
just
in the year tough shin men
34 years ago and the name of the
discourse is
and we know a needle is a has an
abbreviation for at the month of ello
the first letter of ani is alev
the deity is alamed the deity is above
and the last one is allah which is the
month of el
what's the connection the fact that it's
in variation what's the connection with
the montevallo
so the alta rebel torah explains
on the discourses of the month of ello
and this shabbos is actually shabbos
from work on the month of ello
the author explains what's the
connection of anila
dianello so he explains as follows annee
le deuty means
hashem that we love we want to come
close to hashem which that's the avoid
of the whole month of elle
as we know the month of ello there's
different customs certain people get
over ticking
extra psalms every day we blow the
chauffeur every day it's an avoid
a month of truva where we're turning to
hashem
that's the first half a nila deity
returning to hashem
then comes with deutili the avoiding the
roshani young kipper what happens from
shannon
hashem turns to us tremendous
revelations god becomes the king over us
god forgives us
beautiful gifts from above so the
october explains anila deity is aravoido
and the delhi is what the avodah where
hashem gives us beautiful gifts and
beautiful spiritual presence of
uh great revelations on shawnee kippur
so the altar explains the whole year we
do have another video a whole year where
i need
we pray every day we study we do mitzvot
what's so
what's so intriguing about that nila
deity of the montevello that we get up
and we're doing truva
so the algebra says very simple because
in the month of el
the famous yud gimmel medicine the 13
attributes of mercy
where hashem list them in the torah that
13 attributes of mercy is
alive and revealed in the month of ella
what happens when the youth give me the
sarah and the 13 attributes of
compassion are revealed and available
that that creates an environment
that we want to turn to hashem it
doesn't god forbid forces to turn to
hashem it's out there it's a certain
powerful energy and we have an ashama so
we're connected to that energy when we
feel it
we go oh my gosh let's turn tasham so
based on this genre explains as follows
starting from the shuttle what happens
and you'd give them with the surachm are
revealed
because it's revealed and if we're
sensitive we go oh my gosh it's time to
turn to hashem
and we talk and pray more and we study
more and we do
different mitzvoth and we try to find
ways we can transform ourselves
that's our avoid of a needle doody
and then comes the avoid of a deity when
on rosh hashanah i
am kipper so what does this mean that
we're saying
and therefore we're ready to do the
volume
so the alternator explains this in this
famous discourse
in look is his book of the torah
in the turin explains his followers and
he gives him a marshall
a parable of a king a king is usually
we're in the palace
or in the big city and we know when what
happens when the king is in the big city
or in his palace a only special people
can go in that's number one
and also those special people at a set
time but then melaka saw that the king
goes out to the field
what happens when the king goes out to
the field so then
anybody and we say anybody could be
anybody
anybody and everybody has permission
and now they have submission now the
previous story adds and can
greet the king once the king is in the
field everyone has permission and
everyone could greet the king
so based on this river explains that's
also the avoiding of khoi the shell
what happens just like when the king is
in the field anyone can see him
so the same thing happens in the month
of el in the month of elle
the melox was south of the kings in the
field and anybody
could once can reach out to the king
and have a private audience that's
tremendous that's a huge gift that the
month of ello
when the 13 attributes of mercy are
shining and again he uses the example of
the melaka
and when the king is in the field every
single person
is able to go out and see the king why
is that
sad rabbi explains because when when
there's the
light of the 13 attributes of mercy are
shining
so we have we know in the famous
priestly blessings what does it say
yuri or hashem hashem should shine his
face
his face to us it should be revealed to
us
and that's exactly what happens the in
the month of level and as the october
explains
that in the month of elle the king
receives everybody and
he uses two terminologies one is the
savior punitive ice with a beautiful
shining countenance of a face well my
upon him circumcised and he shows us
tremendous smiles and love and warmth
and therefore we're ready to go to the
king and
up to the pointer says that you can ask
the king
himself for anything that you want and
we know when you ask the king you're
going to get whatever you want
so again that void of of clay the shell
is you'd give them with the soraka
out there and the key it's like the king
is in the field and once the king's in
the field
we can all approach the king for
whatever we want and whatever we need
but here the rep is going to go ahead
and
delve into this idea that we brought
down from the altar but from this famous
discourse and he says like this that we
know that
everything in the torah is exact nothing
is an accident everything is exact
everything's for a reason
if you give a look in the uh
in the book lakota torah which is a very
very powerful
book of acidic discourse from the
altered so he has
acidic discourse that he is grandson
that someone said they put together on
every single parsha
and where do we find these powerful
insights into the month of l
it happens to be in this parasha this
week is practice for a
so in this week's torah portion project
three in the acidic discourse
if you have it within processor a you
have the acidic discourses of of the
month available
but they're not a separate section for
holidays where you have versus stronger
you keep
pesach etc it's actually part of
processor a
so if it's part of processor and it
doesn't even say you're a slash shell it
says for a
so the question is what's the connection
between these powerful ideas of
ello and partial that's question number
one
another question will be asks a very
interesting question that if you look in
the
book look at the torah so for
paratrooper a for every parishioners
clinic discourses
and we know there's a lot of discourses
from the altar and partisanship
there's none printed in lakota toyota
it goes from a and it skips over to the
next store abortion
partnership is no discourse is and the
question is why
and obviously if we know everything
there's a reason for everything
the next question never says and it's a
very very powerful insightful question
nervous is like this we know everything
is divine providence
and if you give a look the hasidic
discourse for the month of ella in the
terrier is on what page page lamid base
32 what is llama days we know llama base
means lay the heart
so the question is what's the connection
between this acidic discourse
and llama base the page that it's on
now we all know we learned brookshire
tanya that the
in the book of tanya there's also page
llama base
there's a paraglima base and the 32nd
chapter in tanya
which is which means leave so video what
does the altar talk about
in the 32nd chapter of tanya he talks
about the mitzvah of abbas israel
what's the mitzvah obviously swell so we
know it's one of the most powerful
mistakes in the torah
that we have to love every single person
like you love yourself you love yourself
you take one and you take care of
yourself you think about yourself
that's the same way you have to feel
another person's needs
and pain and suffering and joy be there
with the other person just to be there
with the other person
now why is that concept the way doctor
explains the myths of obvious draw
specifically in periclamine base because
lamin basically said again is heart
and what's the heart of the essence of
all our work
why'd we come down to this world do we
came down to this world for one reason
one reason only
to be able to love another person so
because we we
we we came down to the world to love
another person actually this
helps us and teaches us and inspires us
how to have opposite soil
therefore that's why it's called that's
why that concept is in perry columbia
bay is the 32nd chapter
so whoever says obviously there must be
a powerful connection here with these
with these acidic discourses
connected to the idea of llama base
and um there every quote from the
balsamic volcano says
that everything that exists you have to
be able to take a lesson
in avoiding hashem how to serve hashem
because that's what we're here for we're
here to serve hashem
so trevor says and he explains a
powerful like dna says like this
what is the idea of khoi the shell the
month the bell
so what we say before the 13 attributes
of mercy
are revealed they're prevalent they're
strong
and what was the analogy the ultrabook
gave he said the
analogy was the king is in the field
so what's the what's the theme of a
little according to this
the king is in the field now what does
that mean practically the kings in the
field
sherpa says very very two points point
number one is
when we say the king is in the field
point number one is crucial
everybody is equal there's no this one's
more important
less important no such thing everyone's
equal
the proof is because everyone can see
the king you don't need an appointment
so the message of malachi that kabbalah
on the coin
so this is the underlying powerful
message is
that the king is in the field
everybody's equal
now what happens once everyone's equal
so we know it's not only ava's israel
it's not only we love everybody
but it's actus role we become really
really one
everyone becomes one so once we become
one
obvious role everyone is equal that
causes
huge that there's no boundaries between
us
when we get along and not only when as
we get along
what happens is we break any boundaries
of hashem
and we have direct communication with
hashem so the greatest thing one can do
if you want to have a great relationship
with hashem
is make sure to get along with everybody
else and as you ever says what happens
again so the key thing against recap
because this is extremely important
what is the avoid of choice the king is
on the field
what does that mean we all we're all
equal
once we're all equal then we have an
open relationship with hashem
once we have an open relationship with
hashem
he accepts everybody doesn't say these
people not those people everybody
how does he accept us the savior upon
him your voice hashem shows us a
beautiful smile
um hashem is
gleen with love and timer for us
so based on this the alter said the
rebels explains
that's why this civic discourse of khoi
deshallah
which basically underscores that we were
all really equal
and therefore we all won with hashem
that's why it's on page llama base
under 30 32nd page of of of the torah
why because what is the idea of allah
base lament base is heart
now when we get along with everybody and
therefore we have we get along with
hashem and the shaman is
totally great to us and we're great to
him what is that show
that shows that we are in hashem's heart
and hashem is in our heart our hearts
are one
what's lama days the heart we were
totally connected
and that's really the essence of khoi
deshallah the essence of khoi the shell
yeah you have to pray and you have to
study in mitzvot and
build a chauffeur but what's the main
thing according to this you have to be
one with everybody
and you have to be one with hashem
hashem should be in our heart
and we should be in hashem's heart that
is the avoid of
we should be in hashem's heart hashem
should be in our heart
and how do we accomplish that by being
one
and getting along with everybody and
based on that again the altered says
that's why
it's on page llama base to tell us it's
all about the heart
where is our heart and what's in our
heart
in our heart should be every single
person and hashem and obviously hashem's
heart should be
every single person in and and every
single person's heart should have
everyone else in there it's all about
creating oneness and creating an open
relationship with hashem
so based on this driver says so that was
the connection to the second thirty
thirty second page leave what's the
connection why is these discourses
specifically
in the section of the pashover a
because what's the whole idea of ray ray
means to see
what should we see we should see
the thirteen attributes of hashem the
youth
now we should hear it we should think
about it we should meditate on it
no we should see the 13 attributes of
face to face
the shuttle is that those 13 attributes
of rachman we should see it face to face
again how do we see it face to face
by getting along with everybody and
becoming one with hashem
and that brings a full small circle
based on this derby says a very very
revolutionary idea and he says
that's why since hoyt
shell is all about oneness it's all
about
there's no barriers between people
there's no barriers between us and
hashem
it's all about seeing the oneness of
hashem
based on this rubber explains that's why
in partial shrifting
there's no pacific discourses why
because what does shifting mean
safety you need to you need a judge what
is that what are you going to judge for
you need a judge to say this is your
boundary this is his boundary
you go here you go there judges their
job is to separate people
their job is to create boundaries and
create separations
see this is about what creating unity
and because
it's about creating unity there is no
civic discourses
that find place and shift him
because it goes against the whole idea
of oneness shifting
when you need a judge it's because you
need to create a separation
you need to create a boundary there's a
conflict in place of conflict consider
this has no place
and that's why there's no discourse in
the process
a phenomenal idea and if there was there
are many hasidic discourses for shaytim
but to publish it in the book which says
that we're giving
credibility to idea of shaytim about
boundaries separations
that nut
powerful because again so this is all
about
creating oneness and creating we're all
one with no boundaries
now so we we created the environment
what environment are we here now we're
in the environment of what it's all one
and we're creating the king in the field
but we know
every mashall is very specific so what
does it say where's the king the king's
in the field
sharpie asks a simple question what's
the idea specifically in the field
the king is everywhere hashem is
everywhere and
the fact is hashem is in the city where
hashem is all over why does it
specifically say
the king is in the field never explains
like this that there's three
levels on a physical level and which
obviously plays itself out spiritually
so for example what is ear ear is a city
what means a city it's built up there's
houses there's roads there's people
there's transportation
everything you need you have in a city
so spiritually what's the idea of a city
a city is you have everything you need
spiritually
that means it's a place of kedusha it's
a place of holiness
there's nothing to do in a city you have
well everything you have all your
amenities everything you have
spiritually when you say the idea of a
city means you have everything that's
like the other city
so in a city it's hole holy
let's use the other extreme you have a
desert what's a desert a desert we know
it's a mid bird la joshua it's not a
place a person to live there's nothing
there
nothing there what so spiritually what
does that mean there's nothing holy
there
it's totally deserted from anything
godly and holy
in a desert we're not talking about the
people in the desert we're talking about
the desert itself
things don't grow that's not a place for
holiness it's not a place for growth
then you have something which is called
so there's no conducion there in a
desert
what is sadha sadha is already a field
what happens if you go out to our field
a field is all about
planting growing praying
transformation physically you want to
have bread
you can't you can't grow bread in a city
and for sure not in a desert
so you have to go out to the field in
the field you plant you're growing you
can have bread
what does that mean spiritually the
avoider
of a um of a sadha is
where we're planting we're transforming
we're creating mitzvahs we're creating
opportunities
we're developing our relation with
hashem in others we're taking neutral
and we're transforming into holiness so
are avoided
city there's no avoider it's all holy
mid
it's you can't even do anything
is to go ahead transform and create just
like you take you make
you plant um seeds and you have wheat
and you make bread
the same thing mostly of the soda is to
create a transform
transformative place for a sin
which basically that's the whole idea we
know in the times of the temple you had
sacrifices
what a sacrifice is called in the torah
carboni lachmilishai
the purpose of a sacrifice is just like
bread is transformation the same thing
also
in the base of mikdash the purpose of
the sacrifices were to create
transformation
now the arabic explains and he says the
fact is
our goal is to transform and that's what
we're doing goddess we're trying to
transform the world trying to make the
world a holy place
when will we reach its peak of its
holiness that's going to happen in the
future
comes then the whole world will be
transformed for
transformed now how do we do that boy do
we don't have the temple today
so today we do the avoid that we know
through prayers
we don't have we don't have we can't
bring a sacrifice we read about the
prayers
we we pray to hashem and that's how we
do the the the
spiritual transformation however however
what's the goal the goal is for mashiach
as the verse says of
as we know there's different levels
there's emotions there's intellect but
rotline is the most highest level
comes will be able to transform the
world and all the myths will be
exactly like the way that hashem wants
now when mashiach comes so we know it
says the base amigdas is going to be
like the city that's the perfect place
that's the perfect place there's
opinions that say that the
sadha is going to be your shalom is
going to be considered the field because
you have to bring things when you're
flying to the base of my gosh
or the literal that's going to be around
all over it's australia
all over the world however there'll be a
major difference between the southern
the field
of transformation the way it's now
mashiach comes what's going to be the
difference
today we don't see the godliness in this
other in the field
we work very very hard to transform the
world we haven't seen this we have tests
however when mashiach comes there won't
be a separation between the ear
and the southern which means the ear the
city will be
obviously the base and the southern
you're still going to
feel godly presence of the basement all
over the world
as the verse says there are quotes with
neglectful hashem
that the covey the honor hashem will be
revealed
called all going to see obviously
the light of hashem but then the rubber
says the fact is like this
what's the whole idea again of choice
it's all about unity oneness between
everybody
one is for hashem but the rubber says
even though that partial is all about
separation
so but what's the connection with unity
and parsha shakes him
so even though in the tutorial there's
no acidic discourse but therma is going
to somehow trans
transform strokes team as well as as
well
as has shaped and get transformed
everything's very simple
shifting judges boundaries
separation is only temporarily all the
separation all the boundaries is only
temporarily after the separation after
the safety can do their thing
impartial safety it says that all the
boundaries are going to be nullified
and israel's borders are going to expand
all over the world so you see that
the borders that were put in all going
to go away it's going to be without
borders so even though the idea of
strengthening but that's only initially
but eventually it's all going to go away
how is that going to go away
and the republic is very very simple
because
right now until now comes we know when
the jewish people conquered the land of
israel they're only able to take over
seven nations
three nations cain increased their
commodity they weren't able to conquer
what's in the vicinity of three and the
seven so we know that this sphero
is ten zero there's three intellectual
and seven emotions
so in godless we have the power to
transform
maintain uh tame our emotions we have we
can take control of our emotions
the intellect is very very hard we
weren't able to conquer it
however eventually we're able to conquer
the intellect
which represent we're presented by the
three nations we weren't able to try to
take out of the land of israel
now how do we accomplish that today to
start the process of transforming the
intellect
and purpose is very very clear what
we're doing right now
we accomplish it by what by studying
because of this by teaching hassanas
because when you learn this it's not a
thought a feeling
you're jumping you're dancing you have
to learn it you have to think about it
you have to meditate on it
learning to this learning kabbalah
learning learning all these mystical
ideas
you have to think when you're thinking
and you're meditating on it what you're
actually doing is
besides the fact that you're fulfilling
the midst of learning you're actually
transforming your intellect
you're transforming the intellect within
yourself
which allows you to transform something
that couldn't be transformed till now
how do we do it because we have to get
back onto this so this allows us to
transform ourselves
and the rubber says that when a person
will conquer his
chabad his intellect in other words by
spreading
siddhis and trans and learning sadness
which basically means you're
conquering your intellect in your
neshama so
through that you'll be able to conquer
the chabad
the intellect of the world so again the
transformation
starts from within first you have to
learn to this you have to meditate
to this you have to share you hear a
thought and consider sharing with
somebody else
be excited about it so once you're
excited in your head in your chabad
through that you have to conquer the
whole world the spirit the physical
world of khabad
and the rabbit actually finishes off
with a blessing
that we should merit um right now
very very quickly that we should
gulliver should finish eggs also finish
and we should be able to conquer erit
israel completely
besides the seven nations but also the
other three nations canadians and
community
so we'll have a total of ten ten nations
that will conquer
and as we know that the number ten is a
complete number you have the tennessee
road
ten is a complete number and also we
know that the the
harp which is going to be in the base of
megdus and when mashiach comes is going
to be of 10 straight
there's going to be 10 strings on it and
we're going to sing the 10th song
we're also going to bring the 10th red
heifer is going to be sacrificed
it's all about the number of ten and
rebecca says hopefully with god's help
we'll be able to merit
this tremendous revelation um while our
souls are still in our body
because this will will transform not
only our souls but even our body
and the main thing rubbish says we
should be able to do this
with joy over to evolve and with
gladness of heart this is only one of
many many
catholic discourses on the month of l as
you can tell the month of l is a very
very
powerful and appropriate time to learn
to this because the month of elle as we
see
is all about creating the oneness of
hashem and the month of ella we have the
tremendous gift
of the 13 attributes of mercy
are out there and available for us to
connect to it
so let's hope and pray that we connect
to the idea
of that we start already now getting
ready
because kaido shallows around the corner
and this way
we will merit for the great
um revelation of the youth that's out
there we'll feel it we'll internalize it
it will allow us to do our avoid of anil
and this will become closer to hashem
we're able to come closer with all the
people
and we ought to create for ourselves and
our communities the greatest and most
powerful blessing
thanks so much for joining us for our so

and blessed and happy beautiful week
