Faith Different Levels. אמונה A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on this we're going to be learning a beautiful civic discourse from the rebel the name of the this course is called soyness bad koidesh the rebel said this discourse on shabbos parsons ahri that year that shabbos was on the 24th day of the month of nisan and was also the shabbos that blessed the month of er in the year tough shin lam above 46 years ago so again the civic discourse is based on the verse in this week's torah portion where it speaks about the priests garments so it says soyness bad koidesh he should wear a shirt made out of linen um he should go ahead and wear a hat um also made out of linen so that's referring to the four garments of the regular priest and they're all made each one as you see made out of linen and the torah says big they koi desheim they are holy garments rabbit says that the hasidic discourses from the rabbis and in the talmud and in turis karyanim on on the parsha asks a very simple question why does it say bad linen by each one of the items it says four times bad linen in the same verse you know the truth said at the end they're all made out of linen each time four times linen why does it do that question number one and so so actually the talmud learns how from here the reason why it says four times linen to teach you it shouldn't just be regular linen it should be something very very special to refine linen that's what the talmud gives a reason now we know that the priestly garments are very very specific in those you can't wear more than four garments you can't wear less they're very very specific in other words see obviously every one of the garments is very very specific so one component is that each garment is unique and the second component that they all together comprise something unique is something special special and that's benefit that's how we learn now from the talmud because it says four times so we know it's the best type of linen another how do we learn that because it says four times because they're all included together so you see there's two components one is that each garment is specific everyone is unique and then all together they come out and they represent something unique and something very very special so now they're just going to explain beautifully from a kabbalistic perspective every one of these garments so ever brings and he says it's brought down in the discourse from the khabarov and he starts up mentioning the alta rebbe the middle arab and the son of sadek that they bring from the ramak ramak says a big capitalist that the four garments the four white garments of the priest is is connected to corresponds to the four letters of hashem's powerful name of youtube that's what the remark says what does that mean the other explains as follows so we know the mats nephes what one of the four before we'll do one garment at the time the monster which is the hat so that's referring to which one the sphero that's referring to the sphere of kesser a crown as a matter of fact you see specifically where do you wear a hat you wear the hat on top of the head the head is kakumabina das and on top of the head is kessler so the hand is worn on top of the head on top which represented by the ab kessa now what was the spiritual significance so we know it's kesar it's connected to kasu but the purpose of the garment of the hat that the priest wore was to atone for what sin the sin of arrogance in hebrew it's called guyva arrogance why because the fact is when somebody is arrogant it affects even above your head what's the expression in english you can lose your head arrogance could cause someone to lose their head you'll go you'll do things which are not even logical just for the sake of arrogance or from the drive of arrogance so since arrogance affects somebody above their head so the atonement of arrogance has to come from a place above their head that comes from cancer comes from the head of the client now so what are we saying that the mithsnefis has connected what to idea of kessa trevor says it's not a contradiction to what the altar had taught us that in reference to the mits nephes the hand we know the hand the length of the head is 16 ammos 16 hand breaths and like the rambam says clearly that 16 hours when he speaks of the measurements of the of the of the he said the 16 elements what's the idea of 16 homilies so the answer explains that 16 times 2 is how much is 32. what is 32 on kabbalah we know 32 in kabbalah is at 32 strands of so in other words what's the mitznefes which is basically half of the 32 strands of it's referring to intellect not in kessler we just learned that ms nephews is on top so it's kessar and that atones for arrogance which is the sin is above the head the alternate says that was connected idea of so never explains because the idea of kessler is not the casters stay aloof like you have casters where kessler comes down into hakama so there is a connection between the hat and the head because you don't wear the hat in in mid-ear the hat is worn on the head so the same thing also castors connect the hook and that's why um that's nefas also has the component of the numerical value of 16 which is half of 32 which is correct because even though it's cast irons connect the kagama and that's why going a step further what we just learned the cat the the mestaphas comes to our tone for arrogance now arrogance we said what's the hebrew word for arrogance guyva guyva is made up of four letters gimel which numerically is three aleph which is numerically one which is already four valve which has six is already ten and hey which is five which is fifteen so the numerical value for guyva is fifteen if you how do you say fifteen in hebrew unit is ten and hey is five in kabbalah what does ud represent represents and hey represents bina in other words that casser the crown is coming to fix what and elevate the guy with the arrogance arrogance is weird because that's just the same idea that even though it's kessar but it's way casa comes down into intellect again just to recap whatever saying is like there's two points point number one is that all the garments of the priest represents the for foreign the first garment we spoke about is cut is limited snappers the hat the hat is what that's something which is represented to connect to kessler but not caster so that's the connection to kestrel which is the first yurt of hashem's name and also it's connected to the idea that it elevates the idea of of arrogance which with arrogance we said numerically is your hey okay so that is what that's the hat now we're going to go on to the avenate which is the which is the uh the belt that the the colin war what is the purpose of the avenate what's the purpose of the belt that is to atone for for um thoughts of sinning in the heart and and um and and that's why where's the belt worn the belt was worn next to just underneath the chest underneath the heart because idea of the of the oven was to atone for for sinning in the heart now so that's the atonement part what's the spiritual significance of it that the purpose of the belt is to connect makif because the belt goes around but it's but it's connected to the person so it connects machiavellian panini it connects the um super energy with the internal energy what does that mean practically and we see simply that the belt is is connected to the body it surrounds the body so you see it's marked with preemie what does that mean what does it mean what does it mean practically on a spiritual level so ever explains like this that which ideas of the belt is to draw in the mark of energy into a penis into an eternal way in other words that through the belt we bring in for machiavelli in other words what is idea drawing a market to creamy so the expression in zoa is [Music] which means the idea is that it should go from bena from intellect into the heart and then from the heart the energy should go into every every or the whole part in the whole part of the body in others as we know that it says that the leave the heart is from the three rulers of the human being and that's why the heart is paulie because siphon it spreads out through the whole body and knows from the from the heart that goes into all the limbs of the body of the person i notice what what does that mean practically that means that the avenate the belt represents drawing in bina liba from the intellect into the emotions so just to recap what they're saying is like this the average is the belt and that's the connection market to preemie be not into leave and as it goes from market from the intellect which is market for the heart and then from there it goes into all the emotions and that's why it's interesting is that the length of the belt was 32 hand breaths why because what's like they have 32 32 is a slave is the heart and the idea is to bring in the market into the 32 of the heart and um but the difference is like this in my snapchats we learned before so it goes from way from the kessar into hakma so the river says that by the mid snap as it goes from castle into kokuma over here it goes from being on to the middles but by kessler when it goes from kasser and takama it's done in a concealed way it's covered up and matter of fact that's why i missed this it comes from the word of the reference if it says softness it's referring to a secret however when it comes to the belt it's done more in a revealed way so again just to recap we learned about two things the hat it goes from catherine to hawkman a concealed way and um the belt goes from from bena into the middle so that goes in a revealed way so that's already connected idea of of the the second letter of hashem's name which is hey which is referring to the idea of hey which is venus again so is for that's what kessler and khakmah for the hat hey it's from bina and that's already connected to the belt and that's where the belt where the from the bena goes into the middles now we're going to talk about the sinus the pants the koi more and the purpose of the pants were to atone for the sin of spilling innocent blood what's the connection because we know that the sinus the shirt is when you think about the shirt what shirt do you think about in the torah the famous sinus possum the famous shirt of of joseph that they went ahead and they they dipped in blood so the the shirt is to atone for any type of any type of bloodshed now what is the idea of bloodshed so this physical bloodshed and now there's gonna explain spiritually what means spiritual bloodshed it never sounds like this spiritual bloodshed so it says it says in in in the torah shaifek adam that they spilled blood of the human being adam and the human being so the arizona says one second shaykh it was innocent blood was spilled but what is the second of them dharma adam biadam what's what's the what's the second what's the second what's the second of them so rizzo explains it's referring to pouring the blood of kedusha of holiness into the into the into the human being the animalistic person and it was adam of lumaza so it is what he says is this physically god forbid killing somebody but then there's spiritual killing somebody that's when you take your godly soul and you invest it in the animal soul and the animal soul takes over now the godly soul souls being dead you kill the animal soul so in other words so besides the fact that you need to have the atonement for taking the godly soul and and coming getting sort of be killed by the animal soul you have to have like their brings in the verse and the prophet that says you have to swallow it and spit it out in other words you have to take out the holy sparks that were that were downgraded because godzilla when the animal soul takes over the godly soul so the godly soul is downgraded so now you have to go ahead and take out the godly small sparks that were downgraded now when we go ahead and we elevate this the sparks that were downgraded into the animal soul like it says that it took over the rallies it ever explains what does that mean that you take out the sparks that were there before and you have to take out the the sparks that went down in into the animal soul and what happens then is this shirt we know when you wear the shirt it actually was a long shirt that covered the body up until the feet what what does that represent so that represents what you said before you and hey we're holding by above of hashem's name this the sinus represents the six emotions or all the seven emotions which means including molecules but not the way it's part of molecules so they're separate as emotions not the way they're part of malchus so what's saying this the sinus represents what the valve which is the emotions but what and what what and what does that mean spiritually we're referring to any tones for bloodshed but what type of bloodshed the tones of bloodshed where the godly soul was downgraded what into the animal soul so so far we did the hat kasser into the belt which goes from bina into the middles and then the um shirt which is referring to the midos we had the atonement of the hat for for for um for arrogance we had the atonement of the the belt for uh uh inappropriate thoughts and then we had the atonement of the of the shirt which is for bloodshed physical bloodshed now the spiritual bloodshed soul goes into the animal soul now we're holding by the last one which is what which is which is the which was which is the pants so the pants we know it says notorious to cover up the nakedness of the human being in other words so what does that come to our tone it comes to a tone for the sin of forbidden relationships which actually speaks about in the posture afterwards so that's what it comes to tone for it comes the tone for forbidden relationships what spirit is it referred to so we're holding good hey above hey we're holding by the last fear the last name but last day of hashem's name which is referring to the sphere of malchus what is malchus referring to malchus is basically a receiver right in kabbalah it's called nukfa and those with that is referring to the jewish people because the jewish people the jewish people are malchus what's it tones for for the jewish people that because we need to have extra holiness and extra purity and specifically when it comes to a healthy relationship and and jewish and and godly relationships and we have to be careful because the feet so does we go down unfortunately get involved it too low so we have to elevate it and we have to purify it and that's why the um the the sinus the shirt was on the whole body unt until the thighs uh until the waist uh because that's referring to the emotions the the the shirt literally covered the emotions part however the pants already go from the waist down all the way down to the feet um why because it goes because it's referring to molecules which goes down to even lower and that's why the name for pants is called mikhnasayam it comes in the word of cleanness where it gathers in what is malchus is a receptacle it's a vessel which is referring to the jewish people that we take in all the powerful energies from on high so so far we had an explanation of the four garments they represent the they were sending bina to the middle east the emotions and then to malhos again the atonement from from from arrogance from inappropriate thoughts from bloodshed where you bring down the goddess onto animal soul and then for forbidden relationships that's the four garments now we're going to go into the idea what do we say what are these garments called what the torah say they're big they coidish they're holy garments what does that mean the holy garments the intent is that all the garments have to be they have to be holy what is what is holiness referred practically what does mean holy holy is bitter acceptance a person that wants to be holy someone who has bitter someone that's bitter as a holy person someone that's accepting someone that's humble walks and walks in together with hashem that's the ultimate of acceptance now where does bittel come from where does holy has come from that comes from the sphere of the first sphere and which is the first of surah and it actually includes within all the spheres so the source for bitterl what does that mean practically so in torah what is that referring to in in the torah that's referring to the first verse of the ten commandments what the first what did i say i am god your god you shouldn't have any other god and we know that the first two commandments include already within it all the commandments and the same thing also when it comes to that ten utterances hashem used to create the world and we know it says in the talmud that beratious is also one of the ten even though it's by johamus and otherwise by you but beration is all also under 10 other instances why because it's it's a general utterance which is including so in toronto racism in other words the idea of anointing is that kasir anoi hashem the castle is coming down to kokuma in other words even though anointing so to speak is referring to the crown the king of the world because but the fact is so it's the king the way it's come the crown comes down to the world because when hashem says it's actually part of the one to ten commandments so it's coming into the words of the ten commandments the ten commandment the the ten seriously wrote and what once it comes into deeper and it comes into idea of kharma so therefore it goes into all the series so they're ever saying it's like this big day kodish means that all the garments have to be like they have bitter bitter comes from and that's what the terror is all about when you join kesser of hashem into into the ten ten commandments and until utterance you bring kasir in to the idea of and then you have the idea of bitton then you have the idea of acceptance so that's the big decoy initiative that was going to go a step further and there was a big question in the beginning the four times bond which we have to deal with the four times linear so whatever says as follows the garments are made out of what linen why linen so the talmud says that why what's idea of linen so the talmud says that linen is something that comes out from the grand ground bad babad what does it mean so rashi explains that it comes out a single um every single piece of linen comes out on its own knows every kernel comes out on its own there's no two kernels that come out from one root other things that grow whether it's wheat corn et cetera so you can have what from one thing comes out there's many many kernels however bad is linen grows only one at a time what does that mean practically so again bad what does boundary bandra represent oneness each one on its own what does that mean practically do we know that the the prophet khabakuk says and he took the whole torah and he put it on to one point what's the point that habakkuk says he says live to make it simple he lives with faith in hashem he has faith in hashem and because he has faith in hashem life is great and everything is wonderful in other words all the levels of learning praying studying doing mitzvahs meditation all has to be based on the foundation of faith that's habakkuk's revolutionary idea and it's a practical idea you just need one thing stay focused faith in hashem if you have faith in hashem everything is easy it's easy to learn it's easy to pray as soon as you do them it's vote and that's what so in other words so bad is linen linden is one where do we find one we find one in reference to what faith in hashem and that's why every one of the garments and we learned just now that everyone it's not just a set of garments every one of the garments has different levels there's the level of ud cassette ray comes down to this level of hay the way beena goes into the middle is this level above the six meters this level of malchos every one of them has to be bond has to be out of linen another has to be based on faith every single level whether it's every level has to be on the foundation of faith now by the jewish people there's different levels and as we know generally speaking it's brother and kabalyn said this that generally speaking there's two types of jews and there's many but in this conversation there's two types there are those that serve hashem with our soul they're just godly connected the body doesn't exist in their world and and i mean it does but it's not the focus and those that serve as shame with their body physical things now so that's in general that people serve god with the godly soul certain people serve god with the body more specific there's there there's different levels in every person like we know for example this is the shaykh there's the the the the uh the heads the heads of the people the the heads of the tribes up until you have the simple people the water carriers the wood shoppers except what does that mean practically that they do different work no it's referring to different levels of the jewish people which is all connected to the ten series that are certain people that connect to god through through das now we know that the ten spheroids are also connected to the to the to the name utk valve k why because what's the name of your kidnap k as we learned yo it is kohma um hey is vino and um evolve is the six emotions and the last one is malchus so you have the lineup of the lineup of all the spheroids that go that go into going going and saying you keep up k which as we learned before it's also connected to the four garments of the priest in other words that means in every single jewish person there's four different so to speak images just like just like in the garments and every single one there's different levels but the point is that even those different levels are those that serve as shown with their with their soul those that serve who shame with their body and those with intellect and those with emotions and different levels of effective emotions but the point is on whatever level you're at one common denominator we all have when we serve hashem that we do it out of a moon we do it out of faith for hashem every level according to it without according to that level so the point of bond is teaches you that whatever level you're at intellect emotions and mouths even in emotions whatever level you're at you certain whatever level it is one thing every jew has in common is we have faith in hashem now there was going to explain it a step further and he said like this even though what are we saying we're saying that a muna is on every level differently but there's one second what is a moon a moon means i have faith in hashem faith you can't describe it it's not specific faith so on one hand we just learned that there's different levels and whatever level you're right you have a munda but is basic how do you divide it if applies to applies to everybody in all levels so a moon is like there's no levels in the munna but nevertheless says even on one hand yes faith is beyond logic so you it's so because beyond logic really there's no difference where you're holding who you are et cetera but the fact is rubber says but there is a difference because we know you can't compare the faith of a someone that's like intellectually connected to god to someone that's emotionally connected it's a different type of faith there is a certain component of faith that we all have faith in hashem but someone that he studies and meditates that level of faith is going to be at a very deep intellectual level someone that's excited and passionate about his emotions their faith is going to be based on emotions and even in an intellectual it says at different levels if for example someone's moved like a husband type they just have flashes of ideas so their faith is gonna be at that level or for example someone's more phenotype they can explain things at length so they can their faith is based on an in-depth analysis like bina or for example an emotional person so there's difference between someone that's emotionally charged with love for hashem or for hashem or someone's a simple person who has simple faith in other words ultimately there's different levels of faith and like for example like like would like to explain that based on the verse that says in the torah in reference to moisture so what does it say in reference to moisture the torah says the man moisherenu honor of me he was the most humble person from all the people that existed on the world in other words moisture remaining was like the most humble person possible but nevertheless moisture abandoned was such a high level moisturizing was of the faith the simple faith of the generation of right before mashiach moisture bain was able to see in the future and moisture was brilliant godly person that went up to heaven and he looked in the future he looked at this generation the people before mashiach come he goes wow no revelation no miracles and they have faith he was at all so moisture in a saw that there is a different level of faith based on a simple person who lives before mashiach and up to the point it affected him and the reason why he was so humbled because he was humble for the people in this generation even though you're going to say what is he so excited about people that have faith moisture it says in the in in in the torah where ayamuna he's the one that fed the faith he was the king of faith and moisture may know but nevertheless he saw the truth so what he and he saw that he saw hashem he saw he saw he saw the greatest thing that people can see so why was he so in awe of the faith of people right before mashiach was coming and the answer is exactly the point because you can't compare the faith that moisture of eno had to the faith of simple people that didn't see miracles of sinai didn't see great revelations throughout their life the generation of before mashiach didn't see all those things and we have faith it's a whole different level of faith so even though so therefore even though we know it says in the prophets pessim in the holdover a fool believes everything and who's that referring to it's mainstream but nevertheless even though he even though so technically mercury believes everything but nevertheless mary sherman was on the level of hakma khaksilas in the highest level so his faith even though he had faith he believed everything but his faith was anchored in so because he was anchored in so things have to make sense faith had to make sense and that's why he turned to hashem we all know when he said allah said why did you do this terrible thing to the jewish people why did he do that because it was coming from intellect intellect had had to process through the intellect and hashem said khawal the oh my gosh abram isaac and jacob never asked any question what are you asking all these questions now why did he ask these questions because moisture was deeply engrossed that he was connected to and from holiness so you have to understand what does it mean why people suffering i know because from you have to understand and that's why he asked hashem a question asked question why are you doing this because he has to ask or the same thing also my sharingan said he wants to know the reason for para duma which you know is a which is a statue which is about beyond logic why because since the mitsura paraduma is a statue which is above intellect so he he wanted to hear from hashem and he wanted to reveal me help me understand understand the idea of this and especially based on what the mentor says that even after moisture you asked hashem it still was beyond comprehension and he had to have faith in it so you see this there's different levels of faith that is based on the personality of the person now but since moisture may know his faith was on the level of so therefore he was humbled by the faith of a simple person why because moisture was faith was based on kaaba so he had to understand he gives a look at our generation it doesn't make sense why are we believing in god it just didn't make sense but on the other hand for us it's simple we don't have doesn't have to make sense we have faith in hashem and moon we are simple people our faith in hashem is not based on intellect not based on emotions it's based on just simple faith which is connected to the the the last one the garments of the priest the machine the parents which connect to malchus so that's why we now will understand why by every single one of the garments of the priest it says bad and again as bad represents what faith because since there has to be faith on every one of the levels and every one is different type of faith the most remain of faith was one and the federation generation before mashiach a different faith and that's why it says that four different times faith abide which represents my faith because everyone is different now so even though it says bound by each one and each one represents a different level of faith but nevertheless so that's the case why is it why is pre-swearing all four garments and the answer he has to wear all four why and we look because it has to be four and you can't have three and you can't have five why because on one hand yes each one is a different level but on the other hand that you need you need to have all the garments together you need the faith a collective faith so you need two faiths you need the unique faith the emotions molecules etc but then you need to collect the faith and matter of fact as we see how do we know that you need to have special bug because the question one is because you have four times because you only had one bond you wouldn't know you need special bonds special linen because it says four times and the question is why four times when we learn that there has to be a special linen you know it's because it's four together so knows you have each your level of unique faith and because you have all levels together that's why you're able to learn something special have to be a special type of bud in other words by doing the faith on all levels and then by doing the faith altogether then you can have the ultimate atonement and the completion of atonement happens by everyone's level of unique faith but everyone's faith together now who does this avoid the spiritual work on all on all these levels it happens through the jewish people and it happens happens to aid by by the jewish people it happens like wearing the garments by a jewish person and what type of jew has to be a priest afterwards and um and who else where's the high priest where is it now the high priest is the highest level of holiness that could be the work that he did the high priest was in the holy of holies which is the highest level in space so the highest levels of a person was the whole the highest priest that wore these garments as well besides the khan him so it's a priest the holiest place in the world and he served in the holiest day of the year which is one day of the year which is jim kippur and which is the holiest the whole the holiest place in time so we're dealing with again the holiest person a high priest doing doing the service the holiest place in in the in the temple in qatar kardashian and the holiest place in time once the union kipper now but the fact is when the temple existed it it was still a finite world you know just like for example it was once a year it's it's a limitation of time and the the the the the priest is still finite and the temple is still finite and and the one and the and the once a year was finite but reba says today we can do truva we can repent on the level of once a year and when can we do we can do it always so today we're not limited to space because anywhere anyone anywhere can do truva anyone can do it doesn't mean a high priest and you're not limited to time and when we do truva when we turn to hashem then what happens is we do the avodah of the priests and the high priest so we do it anyplace anytime and any person and represents right away we will go out of gulas we will go out of exile so let's hope and pray that the next class will be inerrant israel doing the work in the holy temple and what god willing our next class will be in eritrea have a great and blessed week
