Welcome to our class on we're going to
be learning a beautiful discourse in the
Reb the name of the discourse is called
by the Reb said this discourse
in that year was the seventh day of the
month of T in the
year 59 years ago re went on to certify
and edit this cic discourse in honor of
hey Tavis the fifth day of Tavis in the
year
33 years
ago so again theic discourse is based on
the opening verse of this week's tah
portion where it
says
yehud that yehud
confronted in the T of this week's Torah
portion
of it says you should take a a a a a
stick and you write on it Yehuda you
take another one you write it on on and
you should bring the two staffs together
and they're going to be unified that's
what it says in
the re says seemingly we have to
understand the Torah of the Torah
portion of aash is basically saying is
that they're unifying Yehuda and Y one
stick Yehuda one stick Y and Y is bring
brought together however if you look
specifically when Yehuda confronts y in
the Torah portion of
what does it come out Y is on a higher
level and yehud is approaching
y as we know y was the king over all all
in Egypt over all the brothers and
including Yehuda as well and the Torah
it says on the contrary the ab David my
servant King David who comes from the
dynasty of Yehuda is going to be a king
over
them and it's explained in to which is a
classical cic discourse in the alar on
the
that on a spiritual level is a sphere
of of the small face of
the
and
and and therefore because Y is a higher
SP and yud is a lower one Mal so
therefore for now actually yeah Y is
higher than yehud why because the way
things go in
things flow
down and not only
that gives energy into and that's
actually why it
says that yud went to Y and he
said please my master and know what does
it mean please my master that yehud is
begging y that in which represents the
idea
of should go ahead give energy into
it that is the way it's today however in
the future msah comes and over there
what's going to get revealed is the
source of malus so even though in this
world Mal is lower but when Messiah
comes the source is going to be revealed
and the source of Mal is higher than the
source of Z and that's why Mas com
what's going to happen then is King
David is going to be the
king now but nevertheless since in the
verse
of where in the prophet where it says
King David is going to be the king is in
the
of so obviously even
though is telling us that what is higher
and Y is coming to you obviously have in
there as well the quality and the
superiority that yud has over
YF but however where is it revealed in
the fact that yehud comes to
Y in other words and specifically Y is
higher however in the Torah um what what
gets revealed is the idea that Yehuda is
obviously much greater than y and and Y
on a lower
level sh says he like to connect this
what it's explained in the discourse
from the the
third and he says like this if you look
at the
words yehud the opening of this week's
Torah portion where it speaks that
Yehuda confronting y so if you take the
last letter of these three words by the
last letter is Ain a love is a love is a
and yud is a so you take the last three
letters from these three words you have
the letters of shin V which actually
presents a word of sh what does sh mean
they're all equal so the says if you
take the last three letters of they have
equal what does that mean that they're
both equal Yehuda and Y are equal cuz
this Yehuda comes to Y in other words
Mal which is represented by Yehuda and Z
the small face theed by because the
truth are both
equal in this world yeah Y yehud is
lower Y is higher but since it they
equal TR they're both equal so the
explains and he explains that what does
it mean that they're equal and explains
it based
on when he explains the verse that it
says that we're here to do what is right
in the eyes of hem now what is yoser
what is the right thing to do so he
explains that's the union of the the the
the uh the the union of the two ideas of
the Union of
and in other words and the Das means of
you from
above means of view from above From
Below or high level of Union and a lower
level Union that the ultimate goal is
that the view from above and The View
From
Below they're both
equal that means it should both be
smooth both be equal and that's the same
idea of and what does that mean
practically that and the way they are on
their own so is
and is so it's two totally opposites and
as by it's all about the small face
means
that means is the one on top giving down
to yud so that's the perspective of Das
the perspective of dasion is that we are
yes we exist and anything lower is
nothing on the on the contrary what's
yud this perspective which is malus
which go goes since he's the king going
from below and high so his perspective
is that the physical reality is real and
whatever is spiritual that's like really
nothing and and so what what does it
mean by yud is basically to unify the
perspective of where that's real and
perspective of that's real and
ultimately they're all the same thing
and that's why that's why he when it
says yud that yehud came to
so what does a mean it's an expression
of Shalom peace in other words what's
the idea of Peace the creating a Unity
between the view from above and the view
from below and it's really we're all all
one and like for example like it says in
the Pro prophets that the the the the uh
the tribe of Yehuda and the tribes of
the Jewish people are going to come
together and they're going to have one
head one one leader in other words cuz
now what's the spiritual
what's real is down here which is
basically called
in and what's the of the Jewish people
which referring to the 10 tribes which
are connect to their pers perspective is
no what's on high is real is nothing
which is called however M comes you're
going to have the unification of the two
where basically it's all going to be
one it's all equal so from here we
understand that when Yehuda
approach there's two things that take
place on a revealed
level Y is coming to Y why because Y is
is and basically he is the one that is
the Mas he's the one that is giving the
energy and Yehuda is coming to receive m
is coming to receive and that's how
Yehuda came to Y and said be please my
master please I need Yad to to to to
give me some energy cuz that's way down
here but then there's a deeper idea when
yehud comes to which basically is is is
is hidden in the last three letters
of which basically it's ultimate
creating the you the connection and the
Oneness of which
is the six which is View from Above and
yud which is the view from below that
Waits be in the future that Mal even
though in this world rates right now
it's lower but
it's all going to be the same thing so
Bas this explains you can say this what
it says by it's also referring to the
elevation of Mal the future knows that
Mal is actually higher than like the
expression
is eventually comes the wife will be the
crown on her husband and you know and
higher than the the fact that they're
both equal so saying is there's two ways
to look at it one is the simple is y is
higher Y is coming to Y but the second
one is though they're both equal like
like M comes and even deeper possibly
Yehuda is going to be higher than YF you
could say this is what it says in the
zor that y this that yehud confronts Y
is is connected to the idea of bringing
we we pray so right before we say the we
talk about the Redemption and then we
have prayer so it's
called
when you say the last few lines right
before the you're not supposed to talk
you want to go straight from Redemption
right into prayer now so the Zer says
this idea of redemption and prayer is
connected to Yehuda and Y why because
Redemption is connected to the the
sphere of which
is and prayer which is total humility is
connected to malus which is Yehuda so in
other words
means to bring
in which is which is and which is which
is redemption to which is connect to
what idea of now seemingly from the
simple language of what we just learned
is what does it
mean it doesn't say you're bringing
prayer to Redemption that mean you
coming to but in other words that that
prayer is standing where it is referring
to Y and Y and and Y so to speak is
coming to
so where does it come out what's the
main thing the main thing is Yehuda
which basically is malus now but this
the says that that when that Yehuda is
coming to Y is bringing G obviously what
does it seem that even when Yehuda is
coming to Y you have in a concealed way
the
quality of yud over
Y in other words so you basically so so
you have you have on one hand your Y is
coming to Yehuda but you also have the
quality of yehud over Y and is going to
explain it as follows say understand
with an introduction what what the Reb
rashab the fifth Reb explains in in in
in the discourse with this title and he
says like this this that yehud Yehuda
came and said when he came to Y he says
be please my master he says what do you
mean what do you mean say please my
master he should come along and say I
want to speak to you I want to talk
what's this please my master so he says
that's similar to where before we
actually start as soon as we
finish go Isel Redemption what's before
we actually say the what do we say we
say open my my my mouth before open my
list before we actually start praying so
seemingly we know you have to go
straight from Redemption into prayer but
it's not intermission like the says
clearly why because since the told us to
say so it's like one one long prayer now
so what what does what does this mean
when saying Hashem open up my my my lips
my mouth so the tum explains when we
say what does it mean that means hm
we're asking hm to open up our our mouth
our lips in Torah and it's explaining
many discourses that explain the
difference between tah learning Torah
and prayer
and also in that cic discourse that the
request in that verse is that we're
starting to pray we're
starting and like it says
the my M Praises it should be just like
to should should open up my my mouth and
my lips just like in toyra and know what
does that mean if we're going to pray
why is it starting about why is why why
are we asking to be like T and he
explains like this CU just like when it
comes to learning Torah when you learn
tah what is tah T is div it's the word
of hem know it's the words that God puts
in our mouth when you're learning Torah
and you stop from you're asking who
Torah it's hm's Torah so whatever you're
saying you're saying what hasm tells you
to say and we're just almost like
answering and repeating what hasem is
telling us so the same thing also we
want that our prayers should be in a way
that the prayers we ask we should be
repeating hasm is telling us to pray in
other words that the prayers that we
have it should draw in the prayer of
it's a powerful like this what he's
saying is like this that even though we
go from Redemption we're going into
prayer and prayer is all about I'm
praying I have needs or whatever prayers
I have but we
start in other words just like in I'm
saying the words of hem the same thing
also in pray I should be saying the pray
is from Hashem now it's explained in
those discourses that toy learning Toyah
and prayer is compared to the idea
cabalistic idea and I'll say it in
Hebrew I'll translate
it which means on high very very high
which we learned in the discourse of and
then it's
also so on one hand is learning T TW is
prayer so it's similar to on one hand we
know God is all the way in the highest
level but then again he comes down to
the slowest levels what does that mean
when you learn toyra so as we said
before what happens when you're learning
toyra you're saying the word you're
learning Tor is HEM so you when a person
is learning Torah you're actually
bringing in Godly energy into this
world up to the point where do you bring
it in you bring it down to the lowest
places that's to so to is again we
bringing The Godly energy Mila Lata
until the lowest places
prayer on the other hand
that's in other words we're we're
elevating the physical world and we're
going elevating it to where till the
highest places so Torah is bringing down
the light into this world and prayer is
elevating the world now based on what
it's known that this idea that the
infinite part of Hashem comes down to
the lowest places that's the source of
Torah brings down godliness into the
lowest places what does that mean it's
spreading out godliness it's revealing
godliness into the lowest places in
other words God is being spread out and
being revealed
the wherever it may be wherever you're
at you learn hurry you're bringing
godliness down to the lowest places on
the other hand this do we say that God
so to speak us on the highest places
that's the way it gets elevated and up
to the essence
of in other words
so if the elevation happens through
prayer so obviously prayer is much much
more higher than T because T brings
godliness into the world to the lowest
places prayer on the other hand brings
elevates the world even to the essence
of so what's the
request we're asking H to open my mouth
and and my word my my my mouth should
say your praise in other words so that
in the prayer which prayer we said is M
you're elevating the world we should
also have the quality
of so toyra has the one component brings
godliness down to the world prayer
elevates the world and even though from
a certain perspective elevating the
world is much higher but we also want to
have the quality of bringing godliness
down to the road we want both it's two
different things now what's the idea
behind
it because when a person
prays so the person is beseeching God
and praying to God and when the the the
the energy that's bring drawn through
prayer and is when Hashem fulfills your
request why does Hashem fulfill your
request because you spend spend time
meditating praying pouring out your
heart and soul and like the
Expressions if you basically when you
put the effort and hasm gives you what
you want prayer is very powerful you
brings godliness you elevate the World
by what by doing your work and there you
could say that one of the reason one one
of the reasons why when it comes to to
the height of the of the
prayer so buy different parts you can
stand you can sit different rules when
it comes to you to stand how do you
stand you stand like literally like a
servant standing in front of his teacher
his master with or
interpretation why is that cuz this that
us down
here pray and we awaken the will of a
that God should fulfill our our request
why is that because when we're praying
there's a key ingredient that that s be
Clicks in the prayer that hits hits the
button where get gets gets touched oh
let me answer this person's prayer
because when you're praying and you're
standing in prayer you have the quality
of I'll say the word two
words you're able to nullify your
egotistical
self so it's a key component in prayer
besides the words you say the thought
Etc it's about nullifying your ego
egotistical self now so therefore the
greater the humil humility and the
Nullification of self and prayer is
that's how great and how deep you're
going to awaken in God that he should
fulfill your request you walk in with a
shopping list it's very nice but when
you break your ego and you become hum
humble you touch God he oh give the
person what he wants and that's why
prayer is all about your elevating the
physical world why because literally
you're you're you're nullifying your ego
which is is the most materialistic
physical down thing that exists in the
world and know the the the request of
prayer is all about
nullification like almost like a servant
is standing in front of front of his
master and what does that mean you you
become nullified you don't
exist that's
called you're taking m means doesn't
mean physically or it means it means
it's course you're taking the course
egotistical self and you're nullifying
it so that's the avoid of the avoid
prayer
is working and transforming and
eradicating the ego the self to on the
on the other hand what's tah T is the
word of hem in other words even before
you learn tah the word of hem is out
there when a person learns to is is that
the tah and the infinite light of hem
comes down into the person but existed
first all you did is drawn it down into
you now I take it a step deeper that
even when you're draw down the Torah and
the infinite light of
hem which basically comes into the
person through learning Torah so you
don't have to nullify your intellect on
the contrary you want to learn the tah
you want to understand the tah the way
you are and as you're bringing out the T
so to speak the way you are you're
bringing the light of T into you so
therefore you can say just like when it
comes to learning
toyra it know you're drawing Down The
Godly like into you actually yourself
and actually into your egotistical
self in other words so godliness of t
comes into the lowest places the
intellectual the emotional understanding
of the egotistical
self and The Godly Torah comes down the
intellect of hm the will of hem comes
down into the intellect and the
egotistical self of the human being so
that's on one one extreme that literally
where is Godly Torah com to literally
the most egotistical part of the
physical world the same thing also when
it comes to prayer that when a person
prays and you nullify your egotistical
self you reach literally the highest
levels not because so much that the P
that you're transforming yourself but
the fact is you're able to reach
literally the highest places so in
you're bringing down godliness to the
lowest places the egotistical self the
is transforming yourself and you
actually go to the highest places
now and this one when you when a person
prays we have the power to awaken and
I'll say it in Hebrew
aash a brand new will to fulfill your
request even that possibly based on
intellectual opinions of Torah you don't
deserve that request why is that because
in a person
praise you literally Elevate the The
Godly light on high and as you're going
to a place which is above nature and
even above Torah up to the point
of to pray you reach the highest places
and when you reach that place you're
able to draw down
a a brand will to fulfill your request
now but nevertheless as powerful as
Torah is you reach the r but there is a
a a
benefit when you draw down through tor
compared to when you draw it down
through prayer why is that because when
you draw something down through prayer
what C what what caused us to reach that
place our spiritual work of prayer so
therefore what you're drawing down even
though it's from a high place it's only
something which which pertains to the
world you're fulfilling your request
your materialistic request obviously the
source is coming from a very high place
where's it coming down to your request
on the other hand when you draw down
toyra which means you're drawing down
from the highest place on its own now
it's not the time you awaken it's a a
gift that God is giving us so you're
literally drawing down elus
godliness because even after tur comes
down and comes into our physical
intellect what is it it's the intellect
ofes Which is higher than our
intellect now now we can go to and step
deeper he say like this more specific
we're going to stand this base what the
what the the third explains in
discourse titled to understand this idea
and he says like this K tell us that the
infinite part of
is on the highest level and it goes down
to those low lowest level says this
actually discourse which he's
referencing referencing that has this
that has this idea was many many years
in captivity and recently came out from
captivity obviously recently when the
this discourse
in and to point out that in this
discourse which he's referencing to
there's many cabalistic ideas which are
not in
other classical discourses so he
explains based on the verse um that says
like
this we should educate the
child based on his understanding and gas
say even when he gets older it's not
going to leave him that's the verse so
what does he explain the verse
seemingly when a person gets older you
don't want to be the same level you were
younger you want to grow in life so what
are you telling me that we should
educate the child that when he gets
older he's not going to Veer
off is that what you want you want you
want a child and adult to be on the same
level it's not about growing in life see
so so the some explains powerful and he
say like this that when it comes to
intellectual
comprehension there's a there's a big
difference
between intellect of what way you can
comprehend things as a child and the way
you comprehend things as an adult that's
the way on the physical world in in in a
finite human beings however when it
comes to toyra Godly Toyah which is a
Godly Torah the difference between when
someone's young and someone's
old it's it's based on your
comprehension of what you're learning
but the Torah that for examp examp let's
say you learn a Kish and a child learns
AP KES and an adult learns AP Kish it's
the same Kish the difference is a
youngster will understand this level and
someone that spent more time learning
and meditating Etc will understand a
deeper but the to itself which is
basically the intellect of AES which is
beyond our comprehension there is no
difference whether a child's learning it
or an adult's learning it and therefore
what they what what
is saying is that even when you get
older you shouldn't Veer off from the
way you learned it as a child because
it's the same Torah if you learn the
Torah like you can learn it deeper but
if you learn it differently then then
you're missing something just when you
learned it when you young it was pure
this is what it says so when you get
older this is what it says you want to
go deeper but don't all have got WR a
new Torah and he continues on to
say based on the verse it says I was I
was I was I was a child
became older so he says
n is referring to mat of which is
referring to the angels that learn in
the world of
Y um you know we have the four
worlds and the angels of of and gam
means when I get older is when you
elevate to the level ofas which means
that the intellect of the
toas obviously is much higher than the
of the
Tor but nevertheless even though it's
higher it means even when you get we get
older and you elevate to level of AAS
you don't want to God forbid say ve off
from the way you learned it in the world
of why because the essence of is the
pleasure
of the which is the God's Essence like
it says in the prophets that should be
by God knows referring to God himself
which is even higher than the the
intellect of hasem um which is the so in
other words in reference to this
component of Torah which is the main
part of torm's Torah there's no
difference way you comprehend it in the
world of and the way a human comprehends
it and the way you comprehend the world
ofus so saying is a very powerful idea
when it comes to our intellect we
understand things when younger one way
and we older different way but when it
comes to the T that you're learning it's
the same ter didn't change the way you
learned it you younger older in the
world of in the world of it's all the
same tah So based on this we'll
understand the
deeper that when you're drawing in t
into the world versus elevating the
world through through prayer in other in
other
words when a person goes ahead and prays
so you're transforming the world and
then you draw in godliness into the
world so what happening is you're not
drawing and
godling itself to the world and you're
actually making a change in the world
through prayer like for example before
and you weren't going to get this gift
and through prayer you made a change
God's giving it to you however when it
comes to the which you're drawing in
godliness so it didn't change and know
Prayer Changes Things why because till
now you didn't have it now you have it
you transformed the world you can learn
her as much as you going to learn her
you're going to bring God energy into
the world the Torah is not changing it's
the same Torah not only that a step
further it says that the godliness in
the Torah that comes down into the world
and actually comes into our our
egotistical
intellect
it's it still stays above our
intellect and therefore the
comprehension or we comprehend things
and the way it's understood in the world
ofus it's the same thing reference a
Torah because Torah is so Godly and so
pure that it doesn't make a difference
what level
so Bas says that just like there is a
powerful advantage in learning Torah and
the energy that's drawn through Torah
compared to
prayer in reference to way it comes down
into this world which means that
godliness itself comes into the world
the same thing also applies to the when
when a person prays that there has an
advantage over over learning Torah why
is that
besides the
point that when a person prays we said
you can reach a level of above nature
which basically is the quality of of
prayer um and that and and then it comes
down through the fact that you're
transforming yourself and then you
actually make a change in the world like
literally if somebody got through was
sick and you pray the person will be
healed or for example if you have a
field and you need God to bless you
should be that that should give forth
this produce of modern times you should
be successful in business prayer will
work and to add this idea that prayer
can change the physicality of the world
again if someone sicks if you want to be
successful in business whatever issue
you're going through prayer will change
the reality and D says and this is
something powerful D says it works in
any type of prayer prayer does change
things and what
mean in in every area every type of
prayer why never explains like this and
that's discourse of
the explains like this that in the tal
it
says that in reference to communal
prayer that means you have a million of
people 10 people or more so it
says God does not turn away from
communal prayer which means any time
there's a Manan that prays Hashem
accepts the prayer automatic automatic
acceptance what does that mean
that when Hashem accepts the prayer he
fulfills the wish of the community and
it comes down in a revealed
way in other words even when someone
prays privately Hashem fulfills your
prayer any time this is powerful stuff
very very important very powerful
reference to prayer anytime you pray
even yourself you sit down you take out
or you
praying any type of prayer you pray
Hashem fulfills your request and how do
we see that as we see that the the the
an the the the rabbis established to
pray three times every every single day
now when you're praying three times a
day you're making a lot of blessings and
we know the reab says the rabbis
wouldn't tell you to make a blessing in
vain mean if God's not going to answer
your prayer while you praying obviously
if you're making a prayer you're saying
a prayer whether it's for Success
whether it's for health whether it's for
forgiveness whatever it may be and
you're making you're saying God's name
you're not saying God's name is so if
you made a prayer and you said God's
name God forgives you or God gives you
what you need however when a person
prays
individual so it's possible that the
flow which means the Fulfillment of the
request is going to exist on a concealed
level however when it comes to communal
prayer the answer is always revealed so
in other words all prayers are answered
personal prayers are answered sometimes
in a concealed State sometimes in a
revealed State communal prayers is
always answered in a revealed way and to
bring out says that in many
discourses it's explained that personal
a personal
prayer it's very possible the the the
the pr the that the your request stays
on high it doesn't come down here but
however in that's discour he explains
that the the the response and the
of even a personal prayer always comes
down to this world the only difference
is it's concealed which is a big
difference in the other it says you pray
personally okay God answered but it
never came down here someone say no no
everything comes down here it's here
your answer is here and it's a good
answer the problem is it's concealed
it's not revealed and what does that
mean you can
say what what when you're praying what
are you asking you're asking that the
the answer should come down
materialistically and physically in this
world like if someone's sick they should
become well or for example you need
success and financial success you should
become
successful so therefore even when they
give you that blessing and it comes down
in this world that you asked for but the
problem
is if it's not if it if the answer
doesn't come down to this world then
it's a that's a prayer in vain so
therefore every prayer even a personal
prayer the answer comes down but the
problem is again it's in a concealed
state so he continues on the discourse
to
explain why is it you make a prayer
whether to be healed success whatever it
may be why is it the prayer stays in a
concealed way why isn't it revealed if
it comes down here why isn't you reveal
it so he explains because there's many
many there's many many screens or
blockages that block the the blessings
to come out there's things that are in
the way in other
words this that the the gift the
blessing is there but it's concealed
it's not because of the type of blessing
that comes down that the blessing is a
concealed blessing there's nothing wrong
with the blessing the blessing is a
revealed
blessing however the re the blessing is
concealed because there are obstacles
that are blocking it so it's it's like
behind a maze the blessings there and
it's unfortunately it's concealed it has
to be revealed and like d gives a
practical example let's say you go ahead
and you want to give someone a gift so
you can give them the gift
or you can take the gift put it in a box
lock the box and give the person the
gift in both cases the person has a gift
you gave it to him in one case he
physically has it and the other case he
has it but it's in a box that he can't
access so the the gift is complete but
because there's a box that's covering it
and it's blocking it you can't reveal it
and he continues on to explain that the
discourse that all the flows of energy
that come through all the prayers
not only is a complete and a concealed
state but eventually this is very
important eventually they all get
revealed all prayers eventually get
answered they become revealed you need a
lot of patience in other words how do
you get it how do you actually get if
the is saying that every prayer comes
down unfortunately sometimes it's
concealed you have to reveal it how do
you get the key to open the box that the
blessing should be revealed and he says
like this I'll say in Hebrew I think
it's very powerful point and
says when all when the people the Jewish
people awaken to return
to all the boxes all the obstacles all
the mazes totally go away and then what
will happen is all the blessings will be
revealed of all the prayers of all the
generations powerful stuff so in other
words all the pray prayers from all the
generations are all there they just
concealed when you return toes with ch
everything goes out of the way and the
blessings just pour pour in now service
says one second we have to
understand when a person
prays so what happens you bring in the
light from a very very high level and it
actually changes the physical world
people get healed people become
successful now what's the reason why it
works it works we learned before and in
words of cabala is by elevating man
which means the lower Waters through
prayer there through our doing our
spiritual work and through b now what
does it mean elevating man the lower
Waters in other words it happens when
you're praying with kavana with
intention with b and with
humility now so but on the other hand he
says one second in that discourse he
says any prayer affects change the only
problem is it's in a concealed state it
doesn't say anything about about
intention and and and humility so he
explains like this when a Jew prays to
God even if you don't have kabana so the
fact is when you're praying and you
don't have let's say a physical or
apparent intention the fact is the
internal part of the Jew you're standing
in of
God but you're standing there in a
concealed way you're standing there but
you're not revealing you're not it's not
revealed you're standing in front of God
therefore every prayer of every Jew is
in the level of elevating the lower
Waters which awakens and brings in the
light which is above nature and actually
changes things now
However unfortunately when it comes down
fulfilling the quest it it stays in a
concealed state
however when a person prays and here's
another key point when you pray and
you're praying with a proper intention
and with a proper B with the proper
acceptance and it's in a revealed way
when you're standing and pray in a
revealed way and you PR prop then the
the the the the the honoring the request
becomes in a revealed way as well so we
learned two powerful points of prayer
one is that when you return to Hashem
everything that's concealed gets
revealed and not only from you but from
future Generations B that when you pray
with apparent and revealed kav and
revealed B so then the blessing gets
answered in a revealed
way and he continues on to explain theic
discourse so basist will understand what
it says inal a very powerful tal he says
like this teaching in talet when rebi
heard from Elijah the
prophet that and his children have are
the on the same level of the aot
so what did rebi do he heard again rebi
heard from Elijah the prophet son he
rebi
took his children and he made him the he
put them to to be in charge of the
prayers and when they
[Applause]
said that the wind should blow all of a
sudden yes the wind started to blow when
they said rain should come down it
started to pour and when they ready to
say that the Dead should be resurrected
the whole world
trembled that's what says Nal je say one
second and his children they prayed
every single day
nevertheless and they said these prayers
Mas the wind the rain people
resurrected
um they prayed everything day but
nevertheless it didn't create their
family
until he put them in front of to Leading
the congregation why not and he explains
like this that when he when rebi put
them to be the leader of the
congregation to be the Kazan so to speak
and they were now representing the whole
community so they had another ingredient
in their prayer I'll say in Hebrew I'll
translate they
had they had the power of the community
and when the community
prays Hashem loves that and accepts it
even though
there's things that are are obstacles it
gets revealed it comes down in a
revealed
way that's the that's the explanation he
getes say one second but this
explanation is not enough because the
fact is even a communal prayer and even
when the when the one leading the
service is a great human being he cannot
affect in a revealed way a major change
in the world and especially to resurrect
the dead when you have things that are
blocking it
so he explains in theic discourse that
through the fact that
rebi is the one that appointed them to
be
the to be the ones leading the service
so they were able through their prayer
to break all the obstacles so a was the
fact they were representing the
community and B the fact they were
appointed by rebi and other words
besides the
fact that when they prayed so they woken
within the whole community and basically
they were able to take off any obstacles
and and even people that weren there and
weren't awakened that and his children
were able to to to totally Inspire the
people that weren't there why because
since they were representing all the
Jewish people and they were even
representing those that were not dear as
well and says you can say the
explanation is as follows the fact that
rebi is the one that put them as a
and made them represent all the Jewish
people again the ones that were there
and the ones that were not there so he
affected on the older Jewish people and
even though they didn't know what was
going on that they should be part of the
Kazan and they were part of the minion
of and his children and
especially that they were they were the
ones leading the service and therefore
when the whole Jewish people were
inspired and moved through prayer so
they perfected in an internal way that
everyone's prayers are real and that's
how they were able to break all the
obstacles and the wind came and the rain
came and literally the earth started to
shake now this what we explained before
that drawing in the the the the light
from above above nature which happens
through prayer and through that you
actually change the physical world not
that the light itself comes down in
other words that's prayer on it own so
when a person prays you you reach a very
very high place you actually change the
world now but when you have besides
prayer you add the component of
to so what happens is you have both you
have two qualities know you have the
quality of prayer which transforms the
world and the quality of tur which
brings in the powerful light in other
words that the source of the the light
is coming from L
lates and and it comes down to this
lowest level you have both components in
other words when the the the change that
takes a place in the world which is
through prayer that the person gets
healed or person gets successful Etc
it's felt in a real visible way it's not
only a
change but literally The Godly light
comes down into the world you accomplish
both both things so said he like to
connect
this what we said before in chapter 3
that the request is before you st
praying you
sayem open my mouth and which is
representing the idea of of T and my
mouth should say your praise in other
words which means you start what's what
is a person asking that it should be in
a way I'm praying but it should but when
I'm praying even though I want to trans
coming from a place of acceptance and
transform the world but it should be in
a way that you have both components I
want to have the component of T which is
bringing godliness in into the world in
other words you want to have the quality
of prayer which is transforming the self
to Ego and that causes us to reach to
the highest levels but also the power of
toy which brings godliness down into the
into this world and you have the unity
of both components in prayer the unity
of Torah and and and prayer in other
words that even when I'm asking for
something it should be in a way of it's
your prayer means it should be the
Divine Light of T come to this world so
what happens is when you bring down the
light through prayer you'll end up
having both both powerful components and
then you have a physical change in the
physical world but not only is there a
physical change in the world but when
the world when the when it gets changed
you actually feel The Godly night The
Godly light that's causing the change
know if you have regular prayers you
change the world but you don't feel it's
coming from God but if you have changing
the world but you also bringing in
through Tori you're actually going to
feel that it's coming through God so
says he like to explain the connection
of a yehud that Yehuda confronts y to
the to to to unifying the two different
opinions of Al which means that that
that the higher levels real verse the
lower one is not is nothing of tox this
is real and that's and that's not that's
nothing why because these two compon
components of learning Torah which we
said brings in godliness into the world
and pray with transform the world which
we said is like just
like
and so besides the fact that comes so to
speak comes you bring in Godly night
into the world and you're transforming
the world because as we know
is just like
and like prayer and know this comes down
into our our in human in the way a human
intellect is human doesn't have to
change just bring in Godly Tor into your
brain in other words even though our
intellect has no relation to Torah Torah
is infinite but in order for our simple
intellect to understand Torah you don't
have to become anyone different just
learn T Torah comes into you and it's
actually it's the word of it's the word
of
Hashem in other words the T that comes
down it's not it doesn't have to
transform us and doesn't have to be ACC
coing to how measure tur is powerful
it's magical Godly Night comes into you
why is that cuz tur is infinite so
therefore since ter INF it comes all
over so what does that mean when you
when you learn T you're drawing
in into the lowest
levels the idea
of that God is real and we're nothing
but T has the power to draw that in now
but this idea of of prayer comes through
our physical work our physical work work
like and the goal of prayer is to
transform us so in other words obviously
therefore therefore therefore we are
something
which that we're something and based on
yehuda's request where he starts with
saying be ad please a master which is
similar to before the prayer you
bringing
in
in other words that the prayer should be
in a way that we should actually realize
that it's a prayer from hasem and
therefore the what comes in through
prayer is to transform the world but
when it when it transformed the world we
should realize the way is coming from
the highest level which basically is the
unification of both levels So based on
WE explained
before that prayer is higher than ter
why because toy we said it's very very
high but it goes down to the lowest
places on on the other hand prayer
reaches the highest places however there
is a quality that Torah has over prayer
that to you bring in godliness so each
one has to and fill has two different
components prayer reaches through prayer
you you reach the highest places and
comes and changes the world and to on
the other hand brings down godliness
into this world so you can say that when
prayer takes place that you also have
the quality of learning tah so then what
happens is prayer actually becomes
higher than tah and the same thing
also from the from from the from the
from the from the view of the view of
above and the viewer below then in other
words when the when the viewer the when
when the view of above is in a way that
what gets
revealed is the idea of so then it
actually it reaches a much higher place
and the same thing also when it comes to
the the idea of Z the six and which is
basically which is
and that when when malas reaches a level
of Z then they're both equal that will
create the in INT in in introduction to
to the Revelation that ultimately the
source of malus is actually higher than
the source of Z and therefore when you
unify both two different approaches
of so now one hand you have the approach
of which basically means that Y is
higher but the other hand you have the
approach of really Yehuda is much higher
because it's bringing a higher level but
when unify both that so then you have in
a concealed way even the component that
malus gets elevated like it's going to
be like a future comes that malus is
actually beer like like the verse
says that the the wife becomes the crown
of her husband so again so here you have
a very very powerful deep discourse of
the re many many powerful ideas but
ultimately what you see over here is
that prayer is very very powerful prayer
has the power to change things and any
prayer works you pray by yourself it
works and but in order to be revealed in
order for the prayer shouldn't be in a
concealed state so either you have to do
chuva which is a very very powerful
component or you have to have the real
intent of Cav and and and which will
will create it um or or um which which
will create it but ultimately prayer
together with toy has both components so
know prayer transforms the world but to
brings into The Godly light and that's
basically another one hand there's a
power where prayer where where prayer is
much more powerful transform the world
but the other hand T brings in the
godliness in the goal is that you have
both components that on one hand you
have the power of prayer that shows that
prayer is much higher like and then and
then you have the power of what of to
which is much higher but the ultimate
goal is that really they really all they
all reach us to the Ultimate Place mhia
comes we're going to see that the truth
is that the Mal the B takes us to the
highest level so let's hope and pray
like d says we all Merit to Messiah to
come and we'll see um this perspective
from a whole deeper level and God
willing our next class will
bees have a great and blessed week
