welcome to this week's class on sadist
we're going to be learning this week a
beautiful acidic discourse
the name of the sydney discourse is
called the le hameshbot
the rebbe said this hasidic discourse
of shabbos parties
which was the
shabbos that you blessed
the month of adar the first adar the
rebels said this in his room in the year
tough shin la medhas 44 years ago
and a week later in honor of the seventh
day of other research and everyone ahead
and certified editors this specific
discourse
so again the civic discourse is based on
the opening verse in this week's torah
portion where it says
these are the rules the rules the laws
are tossing the flame you should pray
place in front of them so there are
bricks on the altareba in this classical
uh a book of civic discourses which is
called terror
and he asks a question because it says
these are the laws you should put in
front of them the flame is plural in
front of them plural amount of people
but afterwards in the verse where it
speaks about the law
of
uh acquiring a
a servant so it says key sickness when
you're singular if we're speaking plural
he's talking to everyone just can you
know that when you involve you would all
acquire
also another question asks
that why does it begin why is the first
law of elantra we're going to learn now
all the laws what's the first law about
acquiring a slave so why is that the
first law
and the their ever brings to the
magistrate the metro says that hashem
says to the jewish people
that i've acquired you
as slaves when i took you out of the
land of egypt and that's why the metro
says it begins with evidence that's what
the matter says but we want to know
practically and spiritually why is atari
begin with the laws of evidence
and there are other
many uh
uh
questions on on this verse like and
nervous says that it's mentioned all the
different questions
in the different discourses of the
chabad rebellion on on on this week's
torah portion
i remember explaining each other's
followers
this that the torah says
these are the laws
so we know there's specific laws and
there's general laws so when it says the
elah is brought them these are the laws
it's referring to a
general laws and specifically it's
referring to the whole idea of learning
torah
the obligation that we all have to learn
torah and that's why it says i shall
toss him
you know if it's
learning tori ross why is it i should
tell some singular you're going to put
in front of them because who's going to
put in front of them is referring to
maestro beno mushroom is the one that
teaches us torah because maestro bano
that's who he was maisha was the one
that went to mount sinai we see the
torah and he teaches torah to beneath
israel
so i shall
to all of us that moisture banana
teaches all of us torah
because through moisture banana we have
a connection to torah like we know it
says in in in in the prophets zikru
torus maisha abdi remember the torah of
moshe my servants even though it's teres
hashem but our connection our
relationship our understanding is
through moisture our teacher and as we
know when a child when he comes in to
learn in in yeshiva and haider so one of
the first things you start learning
toyota vallano maisha that's tyrus
hashem but moisture brain was the one
that instructed us um all about the idea
of learning torah
so that's one important component so
torah is telling us
is teaching us torah
and not only that river says
not only is he teaching us but there's
also a lesson here how you should learn
torah
in other words tell you it's not just a
data you have to know the data but it
has to be done and specifically like it
says in the talmud
and then explains what it says tustin
left mayhem these are put in front of
them knows that means that's the way you
should learn entire which means
that
a person has to learn
and you have to learn over and over
again
until you comprehend it
and you get it what the turn is really
trying to tell you but knows learning at
once
that's very superficial that's like
going driving through a city and saying
you know the city you have to learn it
you have to go through every street you
have to comprehend it so terry is all
about getting getting into it much
deeper and like the ultimate rights and
the laws of of uh tal material about
learning terror he writes as follows
that when someone is teaching torah you
have to put it
you have to present it in a way that's
comprehendable
and the ultimate is a plastering term
you have to put it on their heart
because normally you learn with your
head but the author says besides that
you have to understand it which is your
intellect it's something that has to
reach the emotions
in other words and that's why the
october says that it should be done you
have to put it into the onto the heart
because what is it what where is he
getting it from because it says leflam
what does it mean you should put the
term in front of them
not just it means entertaining into
their internal part of themselves
and when is the international really
become internalized not only when you
understand it academically that's only
intellect but when a person really is
inspired by the terror when a person
really is excited about what he's
learning that's tough of nahim so if
you're a teacher or a parent educating
your children or your students what's
important is not only that academically
they get it but it has to be the name
their internal part their heart shall be
on fire and if they're not excited about
it then we have to keep go back and keep
on learning it and keep on teaching
until they get it because this is a
general idea when it comes to learning
torah of every single single every every
person that learns torah because we know
that learning torah there's two types of
mitzvos there's a mitzvah that you could
hire someone through them that's the
main thing is that's what happens
but then there's something that's called
a mitzvah
a missile that we have to do ourselves
and when it comes to learning target you
can't hire someone to learn terror for
you terrorism mitsubishi abu ghofa
turret learning terror means every
single person has to learn torah
academically intellectually but also
emotionally you have to feel the torah
the excitement of terry the connection
hashem through learning torah and that's
why it says in the torah when in the
shema that we say it says
you should teach it to you to you to
your to your children
and the it's the talmud tells what i
mean
what does she not mean that it knows it
should be something which is it should
be um learned understood comprehended
and it would be something which you
should know it on your fingertips or in
the tip of your tongue in other words it
has to be very very clear and very very
organized and that's an obligation and
everybody that terror shouldn't be just
oh i read it somewhere you have to
understand it you have to comprehend it
you have to feel it you have to you have
to you have to live it in other words so
besides the fact that you have to
rescind
that your children and your students
have to comprehend it but also the
person that's teaching it
another the parent or the teacher
um themselves has to be in a way of
shining with some deterrent something
which is your passion you understand it
you comprehend it it's you have clarity
and once you have clarity as the parent
and as a teacher guess what the child
will have the clarity so if there's
lacking clarity in the child and the
student go back and relearn it again go
back get excited about it again and once
you learn and you're excited about it be
able to give it over in a way they will
be excited as well so based on this
rabbi explains that's why it says
these are the other are the laws i shall
toss him the flam that you should put in
front of them which again we just
learned it means it should be
internalized within us and within our
students and this comes when right after
we receive the torah lasting impostors
yesterday why because in this
lesson of allah
is a general principle and a general
rule that learning toyota applies to
every single person
applies to the person that's
learning it the person that's teaching
it and the person that's comprehending
it and every single person it applies to
everybody and like
and and and uh referring to your
biological children and your students
and learning toyota is not just academic
but learning terror is also the way we
have a relationship with hashem our
relationship with our islam is by
learning torah so it's not just knowing
the academics it's about knowing it and
and creating that relationship and
that's why the ailment spot must have
small frame is connected to giving the
torah because here we're learning if we
got the terror but now we have to keep
the torah and the way we keep it is by
learning it comprehending it
understanding it and teaching it and
again not only academically but also
emotionally as well
and then he continues on to explain
in more in detail the way our spiritual
service of hashem works and he and we
start you know from this from the from
the this lowest level and we can keep on
going on to the to a higher and even a
higher level and those are as there are
quotes in the story where it says
you have to slowly get rid of the
negativity so the same thing also with
the people in the land of israel the
same thing also we have to sort of get
rid of all our distractions that we can
be focused and have a deep and
meaningful relationship with hashem
how do we do that so robert explains the
beginning of the avodah is like the
torah says
and those just to recap
in last week's torah portion hashem gave
us a torah this week's torah portion is
a general idea of what that we have to
learn torah comprehend torah feel the
terror for ourselves and for our
students and
our children so over here the altar is
going to explain whatever is going to
explain based on this
how we go about creating that reality
and he starts as follows the first thing
the torah tells us he's sick never
divory when you hire
a slave a jewish slave now
so technically the simple shots
referring to the laws of hiring a slave
we're talking now about it on a
spiritual level how do we get closer to
learning torah without the distractions
so he says there's two different levels
in our service of hashem
one is a evid kanani
a non-jewish slave and the other one is
a jewish slave
and like it's like like we understand
from the which is a madrid and actually
rakshi brings it in in the torah portion
so obviously if rashi brings it it's
obviously supposed to be uh instead of
a simple level
in other words that when it says key
sickness ever delivery when you're
higher
a jewish save a slave
so rashford said what are we talking
about are we talking about a literally a
jewish slave someone that's jewish
you're acquiring a jewish slave or is it
referring to a non-jewish slave that
you're hiring from another jewish person
and the the
rashi says even though it could be you
know sickness
mean either one of the other either a
jewish slave or a non-jewish slave that
you're hiring that you're that belongs
to a jew but but what the resolution is
referring to what is referring to a
jewish slave
but nevertheless
even though
the end resulted referring to a jewish
slave but since there is an option in
the indian in the thinking process that
we're referring to a non-jewish slave
that's worked for work work for uh for a
jew and we need to have a teaching to
tell us no we're referring to a jewish
slave
so but obviously there is such a initial
thought but so since there's an initial
thought there must be some kind of
lesson we learned from inevitability as
well
so therefore the first step in our
spiritual service of hashem we're going
to learn from the idea of an evan kanani
which means a non-jewish slave and we'll
learn what it means practically in a
spiritual level which just belongs to a
jew and then from there we go to the
level of what what's the lesson we
learned from a jewish slave and then we
go to the level of the next level higher
which is a female jewish slave
and and then we and then there's higher
levels as well and then i was going to
explain all the levels as we go along in
this specific discourse never explains
as follows
i never saw like this it's brought down
in many places into this at length
and especially derby points out to a
classic civic discourse
of the tsam sadek the grandson of the
altareba
in his classical books of hasidic
teachings on the parasha called
torah and he writes to me that this
civic discourse is from acidic discourse
of his grandfather the altareba
and he calls this to the discourse i'll
say it in hebrew i'll translate because
it's a very powerful term he uses it's a
it's a very very aristocratic teaching
and he explains over there
that it's referring to the levels of a
tsadik a righteous person a russia a
wicked person and a bani an intermediate
person the way it's explained in tanya
because we know the ultimate tanya gives
very very specific description of what
assad is what russia is what abandon is
what does that mean that there's three
levels
in our soul
what is it what are the three levels in
our soul
the three levels in our soul are an evan
kanani
a non-jewish slave
an avid ivory a jewish slave
and ameria a female jewish slave
what does that mean on a spiritual level
on a spiritual level it's referring to
the three levels of our summer
nephes
ruach and the summer and he explains in
the netherlands discourse
that nefer sri sharma is referring to
rashford
and this is the
this is the the way we serve god on a
spiritual level
in other words we start off on the level
of evad kanani which means a non-jewish
slave which means obviously not not as
as connected
and then we go to the level of a jewish
slave we're more connected
and then we go to the level of what a a
female jewish slave
and whoever brings from zoya
um a classical works in the story called
zarya samba on on um
and he says like this
that when a person is born
they the person is given
the level again just to clarify there's
five levels to the soul nephesh nephews
is the lowest
and we say higher and lower we mean more
godly energy and less godly energy so
when a person was born you're given
right away the level of deficit
without nephes you can't survive so when
you're given in a revealed way where
it's fully developed as a level of
nephesh
afterwards when you're meritorious then
you're able to go into the level the
next level up which is the level of
ruach
and if you're even meritorious i'm
quoting so far from the zohar which are
he brings you you're able to connect to
your level of
in other words when a person is born you
have right away the connections are
nefish
and
because of this are the way we work with
our nephesh
we we have the level of nephesh
afterwards when we do our spiritual work
we go to a higher level of ruach and
afterwards you go to the higher level of
summer and like ever since it's
explained all these different levels at
length and actually a classical works of
mysticism called kunder savoli though he
explains the whole idea of serving
hashem
one is a functional one is more with the
emotions one is more intellect and again
it's another whole discussion for
another acidic discourse but dimensions
are over here he mentions over here in
short so he explains his follows
so what do we have so far so he brings
that
the three levels of evan kanani evan
ivory and amma evriyah are connected to
tsadek roshan baineney and you're also
connected to the way we serve hashem
with arnold schwarzenegger
now
but now the connection is which one is
connected to what
so he explains as follows the level of
evidence the lowest level so to speak
so there's a whole discussion
in all the footnotes and the
commentaries
and in the uh of the of the the of the
the discourse of the updates
when we say evad kanani what level is
that
is that a level
of rosh of a toy vlog like it's
explained in tanya a wicked person and
and life is great
or is it referring to a the banany
like explained in tanya and he comes to
resolution he says they're both correct
classical answers
they're both correct depending what what
level but the point for our our
conversation is that evan cannot even
know whatever kanani is so evident is
when we serve hashem on the level of a
russia lawyer or on the level of
abandoning
so in other words so practically
speaking what does it mean eva kanani
evan kermani means refers to the level
of russia russia tavli and also benally
so everybody asks a simple question whoa
what are we saying here we're talking
about the other kenani
what does that mean avikanani
bottom line is he's an evident he's a
servant again we're talking a spiritual
level what does that mean
someone's in heaven someone with a
servant
that means very very simple what is the
nature of a servant what is the nature
of an evident so the classical line is
of the beth nikoli
a servant wants to be free
a servant doesn't want to have any
responsibilities they don't want to have
any commitments they don't want to have
a schedule they don't want to be tied
down to anything so in other words a
evidence somebody does not want to have
any commitment any dedication any
responsibility practically speaking
what's in evidence on a spiritual level
they don't want to do terrorist race i
don't want to learn i don't want to pray
i don't want to do mitzvot not the
positive negative if i do it i'm going
to do what i want how i want but i don't
want to be tied down to a commitment i
have to learn every day i have to do
this month so i can't do that mitzvah a
servant and evident means i just want to
be free i don't want to have any
responsibility i don't have any
commitment
in other words what gives him pleasure
what's the will of an evident what's the
spiritual makeup of an evident servant
have camera he wants to be free he wants
to have zero responsibilities
and so what does he want to do whatever
his heart desires
when what is hard to say is one is heart
desires so what is a servant
a servant or someone doesn't want any
responsibility and they want to do
whatever the heart desires when they
when when whatever they want when they
want
so if that's the case what does it mean
what is what why is he doing what hashem
wants and the answer is this that he
serves hashem
is because he's forced unfortunately
he's afraid he's afraid of punishment
he's afraid of what's going to happen
you know what why is a servant a service
master he really doesn't want to work
he's working because he's afraid he's
going to be punished so on a spiritual
level why does somebody serve someone
that wants who doesn't want to have any
commitment responsibility because you're
afraid what's going to be after 120
what's going on yum kipper et cetera
and like explain that length this
concept in the clinic discourses
now so again let's back to the point so
we're saying we're talking about eva
kanani which basically the avid county
means he doesn't want to have any
responsibility he wants whatever he
wants the only reason why he's serving
hashem is because he has to
so what are we saying inevitably we said
as russia of a table would make sense
but we're saying it's also the level of
vanity how could it be a banana how
could you say so how could you say
someone that's an evident another king
which means he doesn't want any
responsibility he's obeying me
and he's going to fulfill the the oath
that he says you should be abandoning
why because what's the definition of
obeying me we all know what does the
altar be explained in tanya obey me is
someone that never ever transgressed in
his life
and never will transgress and i want
someone that never transgressed and
never will transgress past and future
and we know that based on the altera's
definition of abandoning many holy great
khasis said wow
i wish i was abandoning never territory
and never to progress in the future
and here we're saying that
evan kanani is considered a bananee
trevor explains yes absolutely and this
is a phenomenal uh revolutionary idea of
of of the rebel and he says like this
that
we know a bananee even though he said
it's someone that never sinned and never
will sin
but there ever says that benny isn't the
ability
of every single person
any person
and every person
could be a vaguely
including
the avid qurani
including somebody
that
what does the person really want they
want to be free they don't want
commitments they want to do whatever
they want when they want that person
could be obeying me as well the
potential everyone could be obeying me
and never proves it
because if you look at the book of the
altar in tanya
in his shower blood which means on the
on the the cover page of tanya
which is called the the of the savior
shall brain in the book of the bit of
the intermediate
which that's the essence of the book of
tanya so the ultimate writes like
whoever says it's known that the shah
blot the the cover page of the time
doctor wrote himself
and he says like this
that kharov
which means in your thought speech and
action
anybody and everybody is very easy to be
a bani
and the author writes in tanya
in reference to the banini
that it's me that's called them which
means any person and every person could
be obeyed any
even though
and whoever goes plays on the word me
does column which means it's the media
the measurement of every person even
though me there comes some measurement
but also comes from limitation even
though from the limiting and the
finite
um
which that's me the media means when
there's any type of limitation you have
a measurement right it's limited to the
measurement nation
but that finite limitation
is obeying me
and it can fit any any person
bainly can fit any any person anyone
could be a mainly why how can they be
obeying me
because any person and every person
of the jewish people
are going what are we called we call
adam
why we called out of them so it says in
the talmud so the shallow cause what's
other mean that says because that other
means besides the fact that means humans
which we are it constantly work
we're compared to the one on high so
every single person
in his essence who are we in in in our
essence what are we we are in adam which
means we are compared to one high we
compared to hashem we're connected to
hashem not only that taking a step
further like
like there are brings
from tying from the altar abba that when
he what does he describe he says
any person
could be drawn
to be a banany
and there ever says when he says could
be drawn to be invading he says just
like when it says in the torah via
you should love hashem so the article
says what i mean
love hashem but it's also a promise that
you will love hashem
so i'm going to tell you when it says
via after it's saying two things you
should love hashem but it's also a
promise that eventually you will love a
sin
so the same thing also driver says to be
a bananee
everybody
is commanded so to speak to be a bananee
and everybody will be obeying thee
so one second what do you mean but it's
it's weird on one hand you're saying he
wants to do what he wants and what
aren't you saying everyone could be
obeying me and never splits and he says
as follows
there's two parts of the human being
there's the internal part of the human
being and there's the external part of
the human being
and the rubbish is like this
this that a edward kanani was saying a
person is an emmett kanani he wants to
be free he wants to do whatever he wants
he'll do what he wants how he wants he
wants to no responsibility
that's the external part of the person
but the internal part of the person
which is midas khaladam
which is the measurement of every person
and every person
is commanded and will be drawn
is the fact that we all have a krelik
every one of us within our in our cells
our essential part we're part of a part
of the infinite hashem so there's two
parts to every human being
this is the essential part
of
we're part we're connected with god and
from that perspective every one of us
our obey and everybody must will israeli
will be obey me will serve hashem with
our heart with our
with our mouth where with with our
action we're totally connected
externally we have desires that we want
to do but it's not really who we are
and like
the river brings in the rambam the rama
brings down and coined the jewish law
a famous famous ruling
that when you force somebody
and to do a mitzvah and a person that
want to do it
that's his real will even though he
really wants you know it's not he really
even not really even though he wants to
do something else because the wanting to
do something else that's not him that's
his external self
in other words this that a person wants
to do
what they want to do and doesn't want
commitment
that's not the person
that's the external self that's the
yates or horror that's taking or taking
control of the person
but the person really wants to what
hashem wants
and because the person really wants to
hashem wants and that's the internal
part the internal part of the person the
premius
and the panini is something which are
commanded to do and we're promised it's
going to happen
so therefore we will eventually every
one of us serve hashem
with our mouth with our heart and an
action or in other terms
with our thought speech and action
and every one of us will fulfill the
oath
that that's given to us
which which what's the oath don't be a
russia
don't be wicked
we're going to be a bananee just like it
says in time tanya
and everyone is drawn afterwards why
because our neshama our soul
is drawn for us to be obeying me
and any situation you're in
any situation you're in
people fall off
they veer off
who's veering off the external part so
because what what veered off his only
external part the nemesis of the person
the essence of the person never never
sinned
the essence of the person never sinned
so therefore since the essence of the
person never sinned
so even when a person god forbid is
sinning on any level and possibly the
worst level someone can think of
the person will come out of it why
because the eternal part of the person
never sinned
it literally everybody says in your dish
that pulls them out
the internal part of the person pulls me
out from any situation you're in
because it's sure
that if a person has to do truva he will
eventually do chuva eventually will
personally repent and like the promise
that turret tells us
nobody will be totally pulled pulled
away and on the contrary on the country
not only when we pulled away when a
person does true when a person repents
he'll actually reach a much higher level
like we know the famous saying that says
a place where there's about
someone that returns to hashem even the
greatest sad they can't reach
so the power of truth is that the person
that veered off his premiums comes out
and he actually rises to a place higher
than before
up to the point that because of his
internal self
he's really always close to hashem
and he's always close to hashem that he
should be able to serve god with his
mouth with his heart and with his action
and maksha with your mind sounds like a
banana on every level
so based on this river explains in this
case
even though
aveda beth kevin equally
a servant wants us do whatever they want
to do
but the truth is his internal level
is abandoning
why because eventually the person is
going to say right sonny i want to be
connected hashem
why he's veered off because his premius
never left his internal self never left
because nobody is ever totally pushed
away totally what's pushed away what's
veered away is external internal never
left and because internal level left
every person will stay connected will
remain connected every person is obeying
me will be obeying a knee and not only
that the place like derby says we're a
place where while truman reaches even at
time they can't reach because they will
reach even much greater and much
powerful places
now
debbie now goes a step further he says
like this what did we just learn
tara says kisik navidivri
but what would we say what was the what
was the the thought when it says when
you hire a jewish slave
that even though it was an initial
thought of the terror
that maybe we're referring to not a
jewish slave but it's actually
the uh the slave itself is non-jewish
but he's hot but he's you're buying it
from a for another jewish person
in other
words that
we're talking about somebody that's on a
level of evacuation
that you just want to do whatever you
want to do and that's a thought that's
hard how you would how you would
understand it
where does it come from where does it
come from that somebody
externally wouldn't be learning and
praying and doing this voice like why
would you say when you're out you're
dealing with that why would you mention
that option since we all have an asham
all connected
so how is it even absolutely a person to
sin and jerusalem is very simple
unfortunately because of the summer
which is part of hashem
and you're right from the summer we
should want to be connected hashem but
the neshama came down the mata
came down to this world
and others who went down from a place
meet me me iguarama what does mean a
grammar spiritually the light was on
the only thing that existed was
godliness and we came down literally to
this abyss
where godliness is not revealed
so the reason why the nashamah veers off
not because god for the person is bad
the lights are off
the north shore doesn't see hashem
now even in that case
where unfortunately the lights are off
and the person
meddles in the darkness
and not necessarily connect to hashem
and we said it's only victorinous
even in a case when a person veers off
it we're not talking about god forbid it
should be someone you have to avoid but
literally in evan kanani
but what are we talking about
the person is a a a a
a slave
unfortunately
to
materialism etc
but who does he belong to
the slave belongs to a jew
another what does that mean he belongs
to drew spiritually that he has some
influence
and some connection
to his master who's jewish
because whoever it may be
someone that veered off to the lowest
levels
totally disconnected guard
uh not totally but we we might
determine we might call someone who's
totally disconnected
but nevertheless
and as low as somebody goes
and as we call evan kanani and
non-jewish slaves means he's totally
disconnected
because again like you're explaining
because their soul came down to this
worth world but nevertheless since every
single person
is a child of a brahmavino and we know
avraham there was one abraham and he was
called abraham ivory
so every single person comes from a
brahmavino
every person as far off as you go you're
still connected to from of you know you
still have some kind of connection
you're you might be an evan kanani you
have no interest in god and godliness
and learning and praying in the
midfields but you're you're you're
belong to an evident you belong to an
ivory you belong to abramovino so with
every single person wasn't mean
practically every single person has it
as an inheritance
from a brahmavino the love
and the or for hashem
albeit concealed but every person has
the love for hashem and like god forever
explains atlanta tanya there's no such
thing as a jew doesn't have
internal love for hashem everyone has to
internally hashem and this love and or
for hashem
affects and every single person
even though it appears
which is only externally
that you want to have other things you
have other interests et cetera and other
interests which is the opposite of the
will of hashem
but nevertheless you the the the the
fact that you're connected
to brahmavinu and the fact that you we
have we have with us our internal love
for hashem
you so the person really wants to what
hashem wants
so therefore it's impossible to be
totally an evident kanani totally
you could be another qurani that that's
in other words in a revealed way yeah
evan kanani is doing what he wants she
wants etc
but the fact is in every single person
you have that love for hashem
which we have as an inheritance from
abramovino
now
so if you're asking if every person
ultimately is connected and we came down
to this world and that creates all the
chaos and all the drama and
disconnections
why why did some put us down here and
the answer number explains is the intent
of going down
into a place where god is concealed
and as the torah says is an optional
thing
you're a servant of a jew which means
really a person got lost
the pro the purpose is so that there
should be talmud
to teach us
that we should learn torah
in a way
that we should
come to the realization we only want to
do what the what the will of hashem is
and a person will realize
and reveal within himself
the true sense of self
the whole reason why we come down here
is yeah the lights are off we don't see
god and godliness but
through the darkness we're gonna come to
the realization who are we what is my
essence
even in this darkness i am really
inevitably i'm connected to hashem and
the truth is really i am a jewish person
it means we really am doing what hashem
wants
not that god forbid
my essence is i'm disconnected
and i have to do what hashem wants oh no
my essence is hashem unfortunately i got
lost and i have to come back
in other words my real place is
abrahar together with abramovino and
like the rubber brings
it says in the madrish the reason why of
rome was called avraham ivory why why
why why is birmingham called avraham
ivory because the whole world was on one
side and he was on the other side
and the same thing also we have to
affect with our spiritual service
that we have to become an evid every
which means that we have to stand
literally just like our brahmavina was
literally the only one that was
connected hashem the whole world was on
the other side we have to be willing to
stand against the whole world what is
the world referring to
so we know world is in hebrews called
world
world also comes from the word of hell
and concealment so we have to stand
against the concealment of godliness
and starting not from the external
concealment of godliness
but concealment from within from our
animal soul and we have to transform our
animal soul and we have to go from one
level to the next level starting with
the level of an evid kanani a non-jewish
slave which means we which means
practically not god for nothing and
jewish but with the fact that we just
want to do what we want
but nevertheless we connect to our the
fact that we're connected to
hashem till we would go to the next
level which was in evan every we were
serving hashem
as inevitably till we go to the next
level of a female
a jewish servant until we reach the
level of
lyvnoya that become a son of hashem and
like it's explained in that beautiful
discourse um of the samaksata which is
connected to the altareba all the
different levels on the spiritual level
of the avikanani
[Music]
but the goal is that we reconnect to the
infinite part of hashem we have to
remember that that's really who our
essence is
andrew explains this spiritual work
of disconnecting from the concealment of
the world and reconnecting to the
revelation of god that is our spiritual
work every single day just like we have
physical work to do we have spiritual
work and never explain just follow us
what does it mean practically inevitably
a non-jewish a non-jewish slave
that means very simple
when we get involved and as we're not
talking to someone else talking to
ourselves when we get involved in the
world
why are we involved in the world in the
constituents of the world to elevate the
world to transform the world like the
torah says clearly we will see sir
we should do our work this physical work
was referring to spiritual work that we
have to work with this materialistic
world
the physical world to do what to
transform at a holy place
so what happens when you get involved in
the physical world
you're not sitting in a cancun just like
in a bubble with yourself you get
involved in the world you're dealing
with the world with people with the
world et cetera
so what happens is when you get involved
in the world and the author it brings up
in tanya says it's possible our goal why
are we involved in the world the reason
we're involved in the world is to
transform the world that the world
should realize people should realize
that no it's all about hashem it's not
about the physical world the concealment
but what happens when you get involved
in the world
it's possible to affect the person
that's trying to transform the world
some of the concealment in the world can
rub off on the person
like doctor explains in tanya
so what happens is you get innocently
involved in the world to make the world
a godly place you want to make the world
a holy place and you get a little uh you
know
dirty from the world you get a little
tainted from the world you forget the
purity that's all about god and
godliness so we we come to the level of
an avid quantity
our intent was great but literally every
one of us going to come to our
why by real by mistaking god for it the
world is real
so it's a downgrade so am i getting in
the vowel in the world and the answer
ever says like explained before
we go down you read the tsar khalil the
reason why we get involved in the world
and even though yes we do get part of
the world rubs off on us
and so that we can have a greater
elevation
so in others that you read though
the rubbing off of the negativity of the
world on us is only momentarily but what
happens right afterwards we have a
greater elevation and not only that
we um
elevation is not to the same place it's
even higher than before like doctor
writes in tanya like when someone let's
say you let's say you're trying to pray
and you're trying to focus and it's
working out you're focusing etc all of a
sudden somebody starts disturbing you
intentionally or unintentionally so what
are you supposed to do you're not
supposed to stop praying but you're
supposed to do is
refocus and go deeper into your soul
with more with more kavanagh with more
intention go deeper into your heart so
what happens is you get you get you
create a deeper and a greater connection
with hashem so if nobody was disturbing
you while you were praying you would
pray the way you praying before what
happens when someone disturbs you yes
disturbance 100
but the reason for the disturbance is
not god for you should fall into the
disturbance say ah that's what i'm not
praying no no i have to bring up greater
powers so the disturbance court caused
you to go even deeper
i know well so how do you do that
practically you ever says a practical
meditation itself like this
when a person thinks about it's like
this the person that's disturbing me the
thing that's disturbing me who created
it
hashem created it everything in this
world comes from hashem
so the disturbance ultimately is coming
from hashem
now why did hashem disturb me
and why did it happen literally right
where i decided i wanted to pray i
wanted to study i want the peace of mind
why did there have some bringing the
disturbance right here and literally i
can't pray now that i wanted to pray
before
so not god forbid think that the
disturbance is not part of hashem
that's partially idolatry the
disturbance is from hashem
so why is hashem doing it hashem is
doing it
so that when you go ahead and you
put in more intention more kavanaugh
you're going to transform the
disturbance
and like doctor writes down you're going
to make matam lush and ramen there's two
types of tastes there's a taste when
life is good it's clear and then when
you transform a negative it's a whole
different
level in other words the first level is
a scaffia
don't allow something to disturb you
which is the general spiritual work of
the banana knee practicing restraint but
the ultimate goal is
you take something which is negative and
you bring it to something positive which
that's the avoiding of the word about
sadiq is not just to
not get distracted the avoid is to
transform the distraction
like explain that length in tanya so the
same thing also the reason for the
uretho the reason for the downgrade is
so that
we could practice not only a scaffold
but it's hop on trans and create a
transformative moment you know it's
literally from this downgrade which is a
ground grade
we have to bring out more power and more
energy to serve hashem
on the level of avignoni 100 to elevate
it and then we go to the level of
inhabitivity and then we go to dharma of
rio up into a level of
from a a non-jewish slave which means a
totally distraction a jewish slave a a
female jewish slave to be a a son of the
master up to the point we go out free
which that's basically all the spiritual
levels of the avoid of escaping
which allow us to reach
very very high levels
and when a person does the avoid
like it says in the torah
how many how many years has a slave
worked it's over six years
in other words the six years that we're
working is referring to the general
spiritual work that we have to do
transforming the physical world what do
we get to we get to the seventh year
in the seventh year it says we go out
free
totally regard free in other words what
is that referring to so the sixth year
is referring to the six thousand years
of exile
the seventh millennium is referring to
comes which that's going to be the
greatest revelation well messiah is
going to come it's going to be the day
of yom shakul
the whole every day is going to be
shabbos it's going to be total peace and
solely relaxation what does it mean
practically it means god's gonna be
revealed in this world there's not gonna
be any more
dark spaces not gonna be any lack of
clarity any confusion it's gonna be
totally clarity you're gonna see the
oneness of hashem where god is gonna
have a dear lawyer's birth without
turning him literally in this world god
is going to be revealed in the in this
world material god's been revealed
however even though this mashiach comes
but some kind of glimmer of that some
kind of taste of that we already have
now
and especially in the time of uh we have
now went on shabbos specifically in
shabbos we have it and especially when
champions and time arrive in the arrival
which basically is um shabbos afternoon
around minha time that's when you have a
little taste of that after in 10 shabbas
on the beautiful shabbat that's right
i've been arriving the last couple hours
of shabbas is obviously we have a taste
of what's going to be like when mashiach
comes and whoever says he'd like to
connect this with the idea of the
mishkan a tabernacle which is which is
explained at length in pasha's truma the
next torah portion
um which would which is usually read on
shabbos passion of spartan this week on
minha because that's where he connected
next week and what's that what's the
connection with with the mississippi you
know the whole idea of the mishka and
the tabernacle is what's the purpose of
attacking that tabernacle it says
notorious god says
that hashem should dwell into in in in
into this world and it says
now
the tabernacle the rubber says you had
the tabernacle you had all the different
vessels of the tabernacle so and but the
whole purpose was for god to dwell dwell
in the tabernacle where was the main
dwelling of our shaman and tabernacle
specifically through the ark through the
torah why how do we know that because if
you look when god commanded to make the
different parts of the tabernacle so the
first thing he commanded to make was the
ark
before all the the vessels of the
mishkan why because wadi tells make it
first because that's the internal
and that's the ultimate of that's the
whole goal of the mishkan
which that god should be revealed
through the ark and riverside has
explained that lens in a commentary in
the torah called the ramban
and uh
what's the connections with the torah
why specifically it's through torah do
you make the god
in this world so he says that's similar
to what we learned before from the
mattress that says that the ela mushroom
these are the laws that you should put
in front of them what does he what's the
first law a jewish slave
why
because in the jewish slave
is the it it embodies the whole idea of
evidence what does that mean that our
purpose
anina vraci the shamash is craini why
was i created to be a slave yes the
shaman is kindly every one of us we were
created the purpose is to serve hashem
so that's why it starts off
spot him these are the laws what are the
laws evidently what does it mean every
because we are inevitably we are here to
serve hashem
and like and like like the like do you
ever record the mattress before that
says i acquired you i took you out of
egypt
so that you can come and serve me you
can be the servant of hashem
and that's the first avoided watch right
starts over never delivery because we
which the idea is to bring godliness in
the world in the world so how do we do
that how do we bring god to be real in
the world
and the answer is very simple through
the ark
because the ark represents the torah and
through
us being a servant of hashem by
following and learning the torah and
observing the torah we fulfill god's
dream of making adira lawyers work on
attorney which is the whole purpose of
the mishkan until god should be revealed
in this world
and
and since it starts over
hashem is going to dwell on this world
and it says plural there's one mishkan
so why say plural but hashem dwells
within every single one of us every
single one of hashem dwells in every one
of us and once hashem dwells within each
and every one of us from there hashem
dwells into the mishkan and the
tabernacle on the base of mgdosh and
obviously in the whole world which is
going to be as we mentioned before the
completion of being revealed when
mashiach comes in the seventh millennium
now
so how do we make it happen since the
whole purpose is that god should be
revealed into this world and the
ultimate's going to be when the shia
comes how do we make it happen so we
there our spiritual work to make it
happen is by the ark making the ark
first what is the awkward example ramble
syrup
because when a person learns torah we
draw down godliness into the world
what's the connection with terror
enjoying the ungodliness of the world
because it says in the prophet
that the
myth is compared to the candle and
learning turn it to light why because
torah has the power and we all know when
you learn torah terror has the power to
give off spiritual light and physical
light and it shows a person clarity
how to live a life how we should live a
life of hashem we know what to do we
know what not to do
and we bring in godliness
into the physical world into this gold
into silver into copper it has meaning
it has purpose
and which is the whole these are the
items that the mishkan was made of
and from the mishkan that we learned in
the terror how to make the mishkan with
with silver gold and copper once he
created what's the purpose of the
mishkan the purple just like terrorists
to bring light into the world the
mishkans also to bring light to the
whole world up to the point that the
whole world is filled with the light of
the torah and the light of the mishkan
and like it says in the in the prophet
it's that eventually yerushalayim
jerusalem is going to be spread all over
the land of israel
and israel is going to be spread all
over the whole world
when the shia comes the light of hashem
the light of your shelling is going to
be all over the world
now
we want the redemption but the
redemption is dependent on like dr
wright and tanya our actions and our
work in the six thousand years of
goddess
and especially
in our and
we do our work in goddess when we're
when we're in exile and specifically
when we are in the the in
the
end of exile we're going to heal when
we're almost
coming and we know everything goes by
the end it's all about the end now we're
at the end now it's about bringing the
light of torah and the light of
mitchell's into the world and we'd learn
toro and bring the light of turret to
the world this
creates
the
the the reality of the redemption when
the the the third base of magnus is
going to be built in a physical way in a
revealed way and we know that when it
comes to the third base of mgdos the the
the superiority of the third base
amigdas
which is basically
hashem
which hashem basically made with its own
hands
which as we know is much higher
uh than the first basement dash much
higher in the second base of mikdash and
i'm much higher than the misgun now
you're going to say what do you mean the
fact is
who built the mishkan moisture
and we know whatever moisture may not
did is everlasting and it's brought down
in the talmud and therefore the michigan
really is also also everlasting but the
fact is and that's true but the fact is
but when we do our spiritual work in
gallus that means when when the lights
are off and nevertheless we learn terror
and we do mix voice
so what happens is we create more energy
for the third base of mcdosh an
elevation which is much higher than the
mishkan even though it's very very high
moisture of a no very very powerful but
through our avoidance the third base to
make the screen much more powerful
which is like the the which it's like
the energy that's created through truva
when a person repents when a person
returns to hashem and when a person
returns to hashem that power is very
very powerful and very very deep
why is that because when a person veers
off the path
so as we explained before his premiums
never left but returning as he left but
when a person comes back he elevates the
criterius he elevates the darkness he
elevates the concealment and literally
from the concealing of the darkness
he makes a dwelling place for hashem
and as we know that the whole idea of
mashiach is
it's all about repentance
and as it says clearly mashiach
is going to come inspire not only the
people that god from the sin to return
but even sadiq shall return to hashem on
a higher level
and as the prophet says
and up to the point that those that the
messiah is going to come in the whole
world mala reds hashem
the whole world is going to be filled
with knowing hashem and when is that
going to happen it's going to happen
when we have the
true and complete redemption but when we
do our spiritual work
which means what's our spiritual work
the scafia is
learning torah and specifically angolas
we actually make the
revelation come much quicker and we make
it actually tangible
we make the ten we make it tangible and
make it come quicker in a reveal in a
real way and it's going to come as
rubber says very very quickly
and very very quick and it's gonna
happen not in a spiritual level it's
gonna happen down here in this physical
world and we're all going to see
that the light of hashem as the prophet
rights
and as the kings and the queens are all
going to be serving hashem and all the
people and so it's going to happen
literally in the last days of gullus and
there was even though we know that we're
still servants of akhashvirus on us on
some level but nevertheless we know what
it says in the prophets can us that the
the fear
of god and the jewish people is on the
nations of the world
and up to the point where
himself means gullus itself
the the concealment itself
is begging
to take the house of haman of the
wickedness witness and transform it to
esther
and that's going to be a preparation for
the ultimate promise
that the pr prophet says the allah's
all the nations of the world are going
to speak one language the language of
hashem what is that going to happen
bigulo
with the redemption which is true and
complete through mashiach to keno
so obviously we have a beautiful
beautiful acidic discourse in the power
show with a lot of powerful
kabbalistic ideas and a lot of powerful
lessons and again i don't want to single
one thing out but i just want to make i
think one of the most powerful lessons
ever teaches us here is that every
single jew is connected to god
irrelevant what you're doing how you're
doing it where you're holding right now
but every single jew is connected to god
what's not connected is external stuff
and the external stuff is not connected
that's that's power to go even higher
but a person has to remember
there's no such thing as a jew is lost
every jew is connected and by knowing
that we're connected we'll have the
power to stay connected and to transform
the world and through torah and through
mitzvot to make this world a beautiful
place and azerbaijan finishes off with
all um
merit to see mashiach
let's hope that literally our next class
will be in your
iraqi dish have a great and blessed week
