Welcome to our class links to this we're
going to be learning this week a
beautiful and deep can I say the
discourse in the Reba the name of the
Civic discourse is called kisiso the
Reba said this Hasidic discourse on
Shabbos paraspatim which was also Parsha
sculling
and was also the Shabbos that blesses
the month of Adar just like this year
it's parshus imperson
52 years ago the rebel went on to
certify an Heritage discourse in honor
of the 22nd there is month which is the
anniversary of the passing of the
Robinson in the year
aleph 20 uh 20 years later says 32 years
ago
discourse is based on the verse of
partial scrolling the second story that
we read in Shabbat with it with the
Torah says
Israel when you're gonna count
literally translated when you pick up
but you're gonna count the head of the
Jewish people
so the Torah says how should you count
them is
everyone's going to give an atonement to
the soul
that's where the test that's what it
says in the Torah the rubber brings
where it says in the talmud that
moisturbanu tells Hashem
God in heaven but
how are we going to pick out the Karen
which will soon learn different insights
what does Kara mean but obviously
referring to the strength of the Jewish
people how do we pick up the strength of
the Jewish people so Hashem responded to
moisture
when you'll elevate
that's what the talmud says Rashi
explains what does that mean and roshni
explains if you want to elevate the head
of the Jewish people what you should do
is take from them a Kiefer an atonement
of charity
so there ever says seemingly what's the
connection our son's response to
moisturbating kisi saw by and and that
will accomplish elevating the power of
the Jewish people carrying Israel
because what is
a means to elevate so if you so Hashem
you want to elevate the head of the
Jewish people kisis elevated almost like
cute that's what she says never say as
one second what we have to understand
here in other words when moishra bainu
said to Hashem how am I going to elevate
the Karen the power of the Jewish people
so if he should have responded to him
let him give let him give a quifer let
him give an atonement of Charity like
rashley explains
so what is Hashem responding you want to
know how you can elevated Casey so
elevate it in other words at the
elevation of the Jewish people's power
is going to be by elevating
so it's the same thing he asked him how
do you elevated he says elevate it but
what's the response
explains that okay let them give a an
atonement of Charity so that's the case
answer that
so that's question number one next
question ever asked
in other words what does it say in the
verse and the verse says can see so if
you want to elevate them so it says
each one will give an atonement to the
soul of their soul
in other words how does the atonement
take place that the Jewish people give a
gift of Charity but what does Rashi
saying it doesn't say they're going to
give is if you want to elevate them
you're going to have to take from them
technically you can trade the same thing
if they give or they take technically
they're transferring the the gift that
they're giving but the fact is the big
difference in the terrorist saying you
want to elevate it so give it to come on
your own the Russian in the talmud is
saying no something are giving moisture
has to actually take it from them
so that's another question another
question I've asked we also understand
the express the expression in the Torah
way it says
so in the Torah says
when you pick up the head of the Jewish
people moisturban doesn't speak out the
Royce the head he says how are we going
to elevate Karen he calls whatever we're
elevating the Karen the well technically
translates a horn but the translation of
the strength of the Jewish people so the
verse says Elevate their head and
moisture uses an expression of care and
the question is why in a different
expression and what does Karen mean
so remember says he's going to explain
it as follows based on what is brought
down in different specific discourses
and specifically the urban says the
Civic discourse called cases
and they explain like this that when the
Torah says Royce referring to the head
of the Jewish people what is the head
we're not talking about the physical
head so Reich is referring to on a
spiritual level and I'll say it in
Hebrew and I'll translate it the
avativas the law the natural love that
we have for Hashem which is above
intellect so we all know we have the
body we have a heart then we have our
mind so we have our intellectual
comprehension on the greatness of God
but we also have something which is
above our heads what's up what's what
what what's above the intellect what's
our head referring to our natural love
for Hashem
that's what Kabbalah says what does
Reich mean our natural operation
so that's simple insight and he sees us
referring to what do we what race are we
talking about we're talking the love
that we have for Usher your brings
another verse in the prophets that says
as follows
that my sins weighed down my head and
that's when a person sins you don't do
what Hashem wants you to do or you do
the opposite what some wants you to do
so literally weighs down your head what
does that mean it weighs down your head
so there so the river explains because
when a person sins and Rebels and
doesn't do what God wants or misses
opportunity to what God tells me to do
so what happens is it creates a blockage
on the head of the Soul which again we
know already what head means is
referring to the the the natural love
that we have for our Hashem which is
above intellect and what what it does is
it creates a blockage that that love
should not be
um expressed in a revealed way in our
internal powers of our intellect and our
emotions
so they're explaining two important
points Point number one is what is Reich
Reich is the natural love we have for
Hashem every one of us have Allah for
Hashem we haven't
now naturally what's supposed to happen
if we love Hashem we should feel it
intellectually we shouldn't comprehend
it until actually that natural law but
we shall feel it emotionally so when
life is good yeah we were inspired
intellectually understand and we connect
to the love that we have for Hashem
emotionally we connect to it but what
happens unfortunately when we sin
against Hashem so the love we have but
it does not penetrate into our intellect
and into our emotions
by sinning we create a blockage a
blockage where again the the love that
we have does not felt in our intellect
and emotions so so that's why the verse
says
in other words to elevate back to head
there knows even though you're going to
say what do you mean Elevate the head
the fact is what do we just learned what
does race mean the natural love the
natural love that's something we all
have we all have it sometimes it's it's
it it's revealed in our intellect and
emotions when we sit unfortunately we
don't have it so if that's the case it
doesn't mean he sees us right Elevate
the head in the head it's not possible
to create I'll say in Hebrew translation
we can't we can't defile that we can't
affect that in a negative way
but nevertheless
even though the the natural love is
always there but but the fact that the
natural love which we all have is not
shining in a revealed way in our powers
of our intellectual emotions so that's a
downgrade for the for for the head so to
speak for that love that that happens
through unfortunately through that
through sinning
in other words so it's not God forbid
that when we sin we lose that natural
love we never lose that
the the fact is in the Revelation and
intellectual emotions so one has been
kisses we have to elevate the head from
the fact that it's not being able to
penetrate into our intellectual emotions
that should be able to break through
okay so this is an important piece just
to recap and we'll go forward what
you're ever saying is what is royish our
natural love
when we sin unfortunately that natural
love does not go through it's not
shining in our intellect and our
emotions so when he sees us right it's
not that we have to recreate that love
the love we have we have to open up the
blockages that the love should go
through into our intellect and our
emotions it drives us to point out an
interesting idea that LE quote which
there's a classical from the outer rabba
and the Civic discourse Israel
um return Jewish people because they're
like the verse says because
unfortunately stumbled by sinning so he
explains what does that mean we have to
return that again we stumbles he gives
an example of somebody that gets injured
in his in his feet
so when you get injured in your feet
even though technically only your feet
are injured but it affects your head
because your head falls down
what do you mean why is the head falling
because that's the fact because the feet
is part of me when you're injuring your
feet your head falls down So based on
that Services You couldn't possibly
explain what does it mean Elevate the
head because since the head fell down
because of the sitting on the bottoms
you can say that's why elevating the
head but he says but the fact isn't it
we don't learn it that way what do we
learn no that the head is is solid the
only thing what's lacking it's not
puncturing into intellect emotion why is
that and never explains very simple why
don't we use the simple and the way the
author explains the clitorial because in
these concerns we're talking about afdom
Kipper after we already had atonement
after God forgave us and ever since God
forgave us with joy and we were complete
hard and as God said clearly so lucky I
forgave you just like you wanted and so
even though God forgave all so there's
nothing wrong with the head the love is
there but unfortunately what what's left
over from the sin after even after him
Kippur
is referring to the the will which is
above intellect
which is not being revealed in an
internal way in the intellectual
emotions and that's why he says cases
right Israel that we have to go ahead
and Elevate the hand that the hell the
head the the love should penetrate back
in to the intellect and to the emotions
now there brings a powerful verse from
Lamentations so it says as follows god
of the hurry up call carrying Israel
that what happens is when we got
unfortunately sin so God knocks out with
tremendous anger the Karen the power of
the Jewish people which basically means
that when we sin there literally is a
you read that there's a downgrade in the
Karen which now we're going to see what
does Kara mean it's the part that's even
above the head so based on the verse in
Lamentations what do we see that when a
person unfortunately sins you have not
only you read on the head and the
avativas but even based on that verse
it's actually even a higher level called
the Karen
based on that he explains that's why
moisture Obama said because till now we
learned kisses
but now we understand why moisturian
says but man how are we going to elevate
the caring of the Jewish people
why because since it says Lamentations
God's Gonna Knock Out the Karen which is
above it so therefore moisture is coming
back and saying Hey how do we Elevate
that Karen in other words we have to
elevate the the Karen the with the horn
so to speak the strength which is above
the head
now this level of Karen so it's a term
it's a term it's going to translate what
does it mean practically in a
kabbalistic level so so this is brought
down the author explains in the tutorial
what does Karen mean cater is referring
to the level in the zero at the highest
sphere which is kesser so referring to
the Kessler the crown of the Jewish
people so I've asked a simple question
now this that was saying is that the
Karen which is the crown which is above
the head
so it's not only above the head which
referring to the the in the head we have
the head but inside the head you have
the intellect the brain but you also
have and so you have the head in the
head you have the brain and on top of
the brain you have the Golgotha skull
now so you have you have the brain you
have the skull and you have the Karen
which is even above it now what we just
learned what is the Karen what does this
oil say this always says the caring is
cursor but the fact is we know that the
googleis the skull which is on top of
the of the brain that is kesser so what
so that's the case what's this new idea
of carrying above the head we just
learned that what Karen is above the
head and that's cat there but we already
look goodless a level below is Casa so
what's the difference and Robert
explains that the golgoyles yes it's
kesser and it's Mark if it hovers over
the moyak which is more penis where we
comprehend things but the golgoth is
kesser and its Market which has some
kind of connection to the idea premium
of the intellect just like for example
the skull which hovers over the
intellect over the over the of the brain
but so it's over it but it has a
connection to it however the Karen is
referring to a level of Market but
Harris over which is which has no
connection to the internal part and like
it's explained many many places in in
the incentives based on the verse that
says
he elevated Karen for the people so what
is that referring to it's not just
referring to regular Castle which has a
connection to the but it's referring to
asmus oil which is a boss lady the
essence of the infinite light of God
which is above soybev and the same thing
also when referring to the soul so we
say Karen elevating the Karen referring
to what the essence of the Soul now
So based on this do I asked a simple
question he says well nothing's really
simple but they're asking simple a
question as follows what does
moisturizer say moisturing says tashem
how are we going to elevate Karen of the
Israel now what did we just learn what
is Karen so Karen is kept there but in
it's not castle where it has a
connection to to rachmanino it's
referring to the higher level of Karen
which is referring to the atmos own
slave and in the nasham it's referring
to the essence of the Soul so moisture
means questions about the Karen
referring to the essence of the Soul how
is it possible that should be a
downgrading the essence in the soul
the essence of the Soul was never
downgraded you need to elevated
sure everyone says we can say as follows
and this is a very very important
kabbalistic idea it never says like this
what is the intent
why the soul came down to this world the
reason why the noshoma came down was
connected to the infinite God it was on
high it was scheduled with God why did
it come down to the world it came down
into this world to make an impact to
make an impact on the physical body and
the materialistic world now so in other
words the nashama is not here to sit and
you know have coffee and to go for go on
vacation the nashama is on a mission the
shama is here 24 7 has a mystery and it
has a plan what it the summer wants to
do the soul wants to do it wants to
elevate the body it wants to elevate the
world now so what happens when the
national is focused and it cannot
fulfill its Mission so then what happens
there's a downgrade in Assam he came
here for a reason so he or she the soul
came in for a reason it can't fulfill
its reason its Mission so now it's a
downgrade not only is there a downgrade
actually it's actually going to
downgrade in the essence of the Soul
because the essence of Soul did come
down here
So based on that that what do we see
that the souls coming down for a mission
and when it can't fulfill its Mission so
it is a downgrade to the soul So based
on that there will be explains
when a person unfortunately doesn't for
example Mrs opportunity to do a positive
commandment or transgress the negative
commandment and a person transgresses
against the God so the soul feels
unfulfilled it's not doing its mission
so it affects it's a downgrade even in
the level of the of the highest level in
the soul
now so it affects it on which level so
it happens like this
so it affects the level of the Royce of
the nasama
and because the fact is that in
reference to the voice which we said
already before that's the level of kefta
which has a some kind of connection even
though it's above it if I was over it
but it has a connection with Chrysler
Premier the intellect and emotions so if
it affects that level which has some
chronic a connection because again it's
a mock if the Royce but has a connection
to vinimi and therefore all the the
revealed the revealed attributes of
intellect and and emotions affects the
rice
now
it doesn't affect it regards me that you
lose the registry centers what the love
verse he doesn't lose its love but it's
not expressing itself
now when it happens when it's not
expressing itself
in other words it's not that that it it
creates the Royals and the essence all
changes
but it's not fulfilling it's not
fulfilling it's it's its Mission it came
here to bring godliness into the world
and they can't do it
based on this job explains what it says
with what what it says in a con
limitations that Gada uh carrying Israel
that he cut off the Karen of Israel and
there's just like by literally by a horn
on a liver level that what happens is
when the horn gets disconnected from a
head so it doesn't have the same power
that had before the Horn of the horn but
when it's connected to the animal it has
the power it can go do things but when
it's disconnected so the horn Remains
the horn but it's not connected to its
sores
so it doesn't it doesn't change the fact
that the horn is now with something else
the horn is the same horn the only
difference is it's it's disconnected so
the same thing also applies to the Karen
of the nashama the level of the of the
catheter of the Soul now so it's not
like the soul changes the soul is a soul
but since it cannot do its mission of
impacting the intellect And the emotions
so it's so it doesn't feel fulfilled and
since it doesn't feel fulfilled it's
actually a downgrade for it so nervous
explain beautifully in these things like
this
and you have the the the different
levels of ketter and it's here for a
reason it's here to make an impact if it
can make the impact wow it feels great
if it doesn't it's not that the nashama
changes the Love Changes but it has no
way to express itself so it's a
downgrade for it
So based on this sort of explains this
is why when when
um
Hashem told moisture he sees using
Israel when you're going to elevate the
soul so there's two components over here
what one component is literally like it
says in the parisha that walk you should
Elevate the head of the Jewish people
like the Versailles Elevate the head how
they're going to give it they're going
to give an atonement
but there's another idea which doesn't
say Obviously in the Torah in the
written part of the Torah but it's
revealed in the oral part of the Torah
that wait when you go ahead and Elevate
the head so then not only is there going
to be an elevation in the head there's
also going to be an elevation in the
Karen in the high level of capta and
like like like like the talmud says tell
tell
um tell them when you elevate it in
other words when you do kisaw he didn't
say do something else when you do kisiso
you will Elevate not only the head but
you'll also which is referring to the
inner law but you also Elevate the level
of cancer
So based on this River explains
beautifully he says as follows
you translate in the talmud that if you
want to go ahead and elevate
the Jewish people so then you should
cash them you should take not they
should give but you should take them an
endowment of Charity not that they
should give that they should give
charity you should take from them like
like it says in the verse that you
should give or you should take from them
why
because when you just want to elevate
the head part the inner love that's
enough they should give an atonement but
in order to elevate there's even even a
higher level the level of Karen so that
was only possible moisture but it comes
along and takes from them if you want to
elevate in the higher level that
moisture has to take from them so in
other words explaining because as
follows
there's two major things that happening
Happening Here
there's the elevating the head
and then there's the elevating the
cutter the higher level so when you're
dealing with just elevating their heads
so the Jewish people get their Good
Charity boom they elevate the head they
love
it starts penetrating into the internet
emotions but if you want to elevate the
care in the higher level of kept there
that's not an updation give moisture
everybody knows the comedy actually has
to take them why is that not everyone's
going to explain it
and these are those problems we're going
to understand it based on introduction
based on sales and this week's
Powershell
so it says Torah says
God is saying
if
certain comments say God's pleading with
us but God says in case of talavasami
when you when we go ahead and we borrow
P we lend people money and those
obviously we know without interest when
you help somebody out with a loan and
you're technically doing charity so the
literal translates in case of talva if
you lend
money as Army to my nation so what does
it say in the Madras that Hashem is
really saying IM case of talva if you
can go ahead and lend some money yeah so
the little translation is s I mean my
people but the Metro says
not Ami with a Patak underneath it which
means by Nation but it changed from the
part of turkey so at IMEI you are with
me so what God is saying is
based on the medrish when you go ahead
and you do stuck on you're with me when
you help somebody somebody's in need of
a loan and you go ahead and you help
them you help them get on their feet God
says you're with me you're in the you're
in my private club and Sport I
understood the discourses wow
what is God saying here that by going
ahead and doing
lending somebody money
it's so great that God says you're with
me we're together on the same team in
the same Club
we're one
another's Amy you're with me in in my
Courtyard you're with me
why is that I mean
it doesn't say about anything else but
only specifically when it comes to
lending so money doing the gift of
literally helping somebody God says
you're with me
based on a verse
that says in the prophets God says it's
a very powerful verse I'll say in Hebrew
translated
God says I don't want your sacrifices I
want you to do hasid you want to do
something amazing you want to do
something that I want don't sacrifice
what you should do do has it help
somebody
in other words one second the fact is
why do we bring sacrifices because God
instruct us to bring a sacrifice
so in other words so technically you're
saying no God I don't want your
sacrifices I want your husband but God
instructed us God told us to bring
sacrifices and we know there's a lot a
lot of Commandments in the Torah look in
Leviticus all the different Commandments
about the sacrifices but nevertheless
explains like this
what's the whole spiritual
accomplishment of a sacrifice so the
world of a Kabbalah sacrifices called an
elevation
you're taking something physical in this
world an animal you're you're burning it
up you're consuming it then you're
bringing it on high it's called No
Matter that's what the that's the impact
of spiritual intimate sacrifice you
elevating the physical and turning into
something spiritual
but we all know the ultimate intent is
not to elevate the physical world to
make it a spiritual world the ultimate
is that to bring down godliness into
this world not to get rid of the world
no to bring godliness into the world
it's called
bring God down into this world why is
that because we know it says clearly
is
God wanted to make a dwelling place down
in this physical it means you want the
world to be physical materialistic but
nevertheless God should be able to be
revealed over here so the goal is not to
get rid of the world to burn the animal
Elevate the world no the goal is to
bring godliness into the world
so therefore the will that Hashem has a
sacrifices there's not in the sacrament
not the sacrifice itself but the intent
of the sacrifices the whole purpose of
the sacrifice is not contribute to get
rid of the world it's it's in order that
you should draw down godliness through
it afterwards like we know together with
the sacrifices
there was Libations like the talmud says
clearly about powerful peace is like
this
then whoever goes ahead
and
um
and if you're a male that's over from
itself and you say it without putting on
without putting on filling you're
supposed to wear the black straps that's
like bringing a carbon oil a beautiful
sacrifice you're giving it totally
but you're bringing it you're bringing
the sacrifice without the carbon man and
or it's like bringing a sacrifice
without the Libations in other words
what do you see from here that when a
person brings a sacrifice without the
Libations
the the sacrifice is is worthless
why because the whole purpose of the
elevation of the sacrifices is but
afterwards drawing down the godliness
down back into the world so therefore
the will that Hashem had for the
sacrifices is almost like in Hebrew it's
called
the external will of Hashem like for
example there gives an example let's say
a person wants to go from point A to
point B to buy merchandise
so why is he going there he's going
there because he wants because he wants
to go there or he's going there even
because he wants to merchandise no he's
not going there because he wants to go
there I mean technically he is an
external level and technically he's
going there because he wants the merch
but it's not really what he wants he
wants to be able to buy the merchandise
go afterwards and sell it and he's going
for the profit so when a person takes a
trip from point A to point B to buy
merchandise to sell it his old intent is
the profit that he has afterwards that
he can live with
now could you say he's not going there
sure he's going but his dad his ultimate
will is that his internal well no
because if he can have the profit
without going and buying and selling he
would do it so his ultimate goal is the
profit
so the same thing also yes in order to
draw the ungodly light you have to have
a sacrifice but the ultimate goal is the
premium internal rule of Hashem is that
godliness should be brought down into
this world So based on this sort of
explains that's why Hashem says in the
prophet
I want I want kindness I don't want the
sacrifice in other words what is my
where in this world
now
and to take it a step further step
deeper Debra says
let's look at the simple verse
what does Hashem desire I desire
and not what not sacrifice
so what does that mean we're talking
about even with a sacrifice that comes
with libation so you have the sacrifice
you're elevating it and you're coming
down God says no no I still want even
when a case where you have the real
complete sacrifice you know you're
burning it but then you bring it down I
still want the Hassan why because the
fact is when you bring a sacrifice and
you bring Libations the main thing is a
sacrifice the libation of the secondary
but on the other hand when you're doing
Hasa the main purpose is to draw the
ungodliness into the world
and like we see clearly where it says
natal mode and it's brought down many
acidic discourses
that based on the verse
but God says that if you're going to be
atoned
um uh in my house with with it with a
with a with a with a sacrifice so so God
says that don't think you're going to be
atonement despite by a sacrifice in
others you cannot you know you're not
going to be at you know God says you're
not going to be atoned by a sacrifice
but how are you going to be a sacrifice
how's one of the atonement so if you
wanted those gospel don't think you're
going to sin you're gonna bring a
sacrifice so what what could bring the
atonement you could will be atoned by
learning Torah and Milos casadev doing
active doing acts of kindness and others
that means even the atonement
which is bringing down the godliness of
the world doesn't come close to the
atonement of learning Torah because
you're bringing godliness into the world
and doing hasid doing acts of kindness
charity
why is that because the general idea of
all the sacrifices is all about
elevation
but obviously in a sacrifice itself you
have the the
Libations that bring down the godliness
into the world but the but but the real
drawing down godliness where it's
focused the previous the internal part
of the whole experience of bringing
godliness into Worlds when you learn
terrorists you bring godliness into the
world this world change stays the way it
is the only things you have the light of
God and when you do Hassan you have that
you have kindness that comes into the
world not only that there was says
even the Torah even the even when you
draw down godliness into this world
through Torah and as we know it says in
um in initially in Proverbs we say in
Asia's Kyle from King Solomon so Ted
what does tiger called it's called
toyrus Crescent in other words
because the whole idea of terrorists to
draw than godliness into this world but
nevertheless if you have toira which is
purpose is
still more drawing down Guardians into
the world
the girl brings a very powerful teaching
in the talmud says as follows that it
says that rabo
one of the great rabbis in the talmud
that his main occupation was learning
Toyo who's drawing down Guardians into
the world he lived to how many years 40
years
on the other hand Abaya that he learned
toyrul but he also was busy with doing
acts of kindness he lived for 60 years I
mean he had an upgrade of 50 more
percent years of his life learning
terror is amazing he got 40 years but on
the other end the body that learned her
in the middle Wisconsin got 60 years
the bird that brings out the point out
this that was saying that we draw down
godliness into the world through
Camillus grasada by acts of kindness it
actually goes down even deeper into the
world
deeper than when you draw down garages
from the Libations by a sacrifice and
even deeper than learning than learning
Terror but and not only is it referring
to specifically the act of lending some
money but any act any acts of any acts
of of a mitzvah
because as we know that Camillus doing
charity that's the general description
for all the Mitzvahs but nevertheless
the main quality
of drawing down godliness even though it
applies to all Dimensions specifically
when you help somebody when you give
someone a donation when you give someone
a loan we that draws down godliness the
most powerful way
and like it's a self understand like
what's explained later on the discourses
that the when the verse says
my desire my wishes
and not sacrifices is actually an
explanation on the verse where it says
this Army that when you lend when you
lend money which is referring to what
Casa Tom is letting letting people money
and the same thing also
discourse the reason
is one of the things that we know that
when you do
you do actual kindness
so you're creating like almost like a
spiritual fruit a spiritual tree the
fruit from the tree you eat in this
world but the but the but the the the
principle you keep for the world to come
why is that because when a person does
you're literally drawing down on the
most powerful part of godliness into
this world now
so what do we just learned before we go
further we build on it that
what it says in the in this week's Torah
portion in case of talvis and God says
you're with me when you do with me and
the question is why is that you're with
me more than anything else and the
answer is because the whole purpose of
God that God created the word was
because he wanted a dwelling place down
in this world so when you do Hassan you
bring in Godly now godliness into the
world personal sacrifices you're
elevating you're you're transforming the
way you're getting rid of the world and
since God wants us to do Hassan bring
garlic and well that's why in case of
towels and you lend money to someone God
says you're with me in my Courtyard now
it's brought down in the outcome which
is one of the one in the madrasium
based on this verse we're just
discussing that God says
I want I desire hasid and not sacrifices
so he brings a powerful story in the
stories as follows
that once
again he was walking in the streets of
Jerusalem
behind zakai was rocking of Yeshua he
was walking behind him and they give a
look and they see the temples destroyed
so they said oh my gosh
Woe Is it that the Temple's destroyed
now what's the problem many problems but
what they were talking about one
component was this is the place that
people when they sinned they would come
and they would have a way to be at home
for their sins so now how are we going
to have an atonement for our sins the
Temple's destroyed
tells him and my son don't be Afra don't
be concerned because we have another
means to create atonement for sins
what is that so he tells them that's
called
when a person does acts of kindness when
a person lends all money so then that
also brings atonement and that's why the
verse says
sacrifice because as we know the verses
the world is built on hasid so now even
though we don't have the temple through
we're going to create atonement
you know he brings on the Civic
discourses one second
what do we just learn this powerful
story they look at each other and they
say oh my gosh how are we going to have
atonement and they say guess what you do
has it
so one second
when the temple stood you also had the
ability to do hasid
but what do they say no we have a new
atonement
as if so to speak after the temple is
destroyed there's a new atonement of of
of of of of what while the temples
around we didn't have that there has an
opportunities it's a new thing it's all
throughout the Torah
so he explains over there as follows
based on a testamental mode
there are six things that a person eats
the fruit in this world
and the principle who remains
in the future mashiach comes in the
world to come what is one of them one of
them is when a person spends time
meditating and concentrating in prayer
so when a person prays
whether chakras
or any prayer you're doing and you take
a moment to think what you're praying
you meditate while you're praying and
you
you focus on the prayer so that will
give you reward in this world tremendous
reward plus you'll have the the
principle
um in the world to come
so I'm going to ask one second
and say there are six things and one of
them is what is prayer that you have the
fruit in this world and the reward and
the principle when the world to come but
we those questions asked when we learned
that there are things that a person does
in this world I mean and you have the
fruit now and the world to come and only
lists three things so is it six or to
three you're saying it's six the fact
that it says it's only three and he and
he responds and he says very very simple
because some are included with the other
one what does that mean
those even though he he mentions only
three but but the other three are part
of the three that that's part of the
part of the main three so it's really
main three the other six it means the
actual three are part of the main three
what what's the other three that's part
of the main three so Rashi explains that
specifically when it comes to prayer
when a person meditates
and and takes time to focus on prayer
it's part of doing acts of kindness so
questions what does prayer have to do
with acts of kindness and he brings a
verse the verse says as follows
foreign
that when Hannah was praying
so it says
I poured out my soul to Hashem so you
see from here that nephes is all is also
referring to prayer again it says
I poured out my soul to us what's her
soul she's praying so Netflix is
referring to prayers and let's go back
to the verse so the verse says
someone that is referring to prayer so
that's why even though it says they're
six but then we find it's only three he
says prayer is part of the the other
three
included prayer prayers based on the
verse now she's referring to pray let me
see even the story of Hannah so he
explains in the discourses
says in the previous story that we have
another atonement here that's going to
bring atonement what's the atonement the
atonement
what is he referring to what kind of
Mills has it there could be literally
giving charity like we learned before
but he says no this is when a person
does has said it's referring to now we
already know that prayer is part of
hasid so when he said we have a new
atonement the atonement referring to
when a person meditates and focuses on
prayer because that's part of Hassan
because we know the main part of prayer
as we know that the the there's a we
have three prayers we pray every day
chakrasmine when was that established
mainly and Exile in the times of the
temple we enter the temple now we don't
the temple we have the prayer and prayer
is in place of the sacrifice but in
prayer is connected
so one second so the question is asked
one second
the prayer that we pray today
they're they're what are they in the
place of they're in place of the
sacrifices what did we learn before a
sacrifice is
you're transforming the physical world
you're elevating the world
but here we're saying is no that prayers
in our country you're bringing in
Guardians into the world
so he explains very powerful and he says
like this
the prayers that we have chakras morning
afternoon and evening what are they what
are they what do they replace they
replace the the the uh the sacrifice
that brought in the temple the carbon to
medium the the the study Cyrus brought
every morning and every evening and the
Muslim service Etc now but what's
interesting is the the prayers that
that's replacing the sacrifices which is
the timid and Muslim the daily prayers
and the additional prayers
what type of sacrifice are they
those sacrifices are sacrifices which is
called Carbone sibo it's not a personal
sacrifice it's a communal sacrifice so
communal sacrifice sort of explains is
actually not matalama that's actually so
you see something very very powerful
there's two types of sacrifices there's
a regular sacrifice like Hannah she was
praying but
she was basically trying to get out of
this world when a person prays
personally you want to get out of the
world but on the other hand when a
community prays we're praying to bring
godliness down to the world so when we
say that the prayers that we do today
correspond
to the prayers to sacrifice the temple
what sacrifices the communal ones so
therefore our communal prayers bring
down godliness into the world and that's
why the communal prayers the eons feel
the proper intention and prayer is the
same thing of Charity because both of
them are bringing godliness down into
this world and like it's like it's
brought down the mattress no matter says
this that the Jewish people are called
um uh rayasi we're so to speak we're in
a relationship with Hashem why is that
because we would bring two sacrifices
every single day and because of that we
are in relation with Hashem you know and
I think like the prophet says if you
give them we give them sustenance that
we give sustenance so to speak to the
God in heaven which what does that mean
we give God the substance God in heaven
because by Offspring The Sacrifice we
draw down the infinite light of Hashem
into their Spirits so against you see
that prayer communal prayer brings down
godliness into the world now
and this is what Hashem says
I want to have I I want my what's my
name is and it should come down to the
world and when it says but I don't want
sacrifice it's not referring to the
sacrament the communal sacrifices when
God's like one has it means Jordan
godliness not sacrifices it's referring
to the personal sacrifices which all
about you want to leave the world but
when we when we talk about communal
sacrifices the carbon Atomic twice by
day in the morning in the evening Karma
that draws down godliness into the world
and like whatever brings a very very
powerful teaching really powerful
teachings to write this one down he
brings from The Shack
um on his commentary on the Toyota where
it says in the terrorist says as follows
it says that it says in reference to the
Sancho it says which milvan literally is
trying to be sides did we know the
sacrifice that's the one that totally
gets consumed on high how broken is
small in the morning so the shark says
is made up of four letters
dalid and it's actually an abbreviation
for four words it's it's the mem stands
for malva which basically is a lender
lament stands for Li Ani to the poor
person the Ved sense of bishas in a time
and the Salah says when he's tight so
milvard
means that when a person goes ahead and
lends a poor person when he's tight
and you help the person out that is like
bringing up a sacrifice which basically
is just like a sacrifice you bring up in
the morning which is one of the one one
of these one of the daily sacrifices
which draws down godliness into the
world just like Crescent so you see
there's a direct connection of the of
the communal sacrifice when you help a
poor person in when you have a person
when he's when he's tight so you're
bringing down godliness the sacrifice
bringing that godliness and um
and that's why the prayers are in the
place of the of the study sacrifices
because the prayer accomplishes to bring
down godliness down into this world now
so if that's the case they're asked a
question so why is it that you have to
do charity literal charity in the times
of the temple if you had the same the
communal sacrifices
however when it comes to the the the the
the charity of prayer which basically is
um uh
why was that afterwards and it was in
the times of the Temple
he just had sacrifices
you all said charity as well today what
do you have you have
um the the prayers which would
established only after the destruction
of Temple so why do we have that now we
have that now so we should be able to
have the same type of atonement like you
had in the times of the temple and the
plate just like the times of the temple
there was a place that created atonement
so we have that now but obviously if the
reason why we have it now is so
obviously there's something which is
more powerful that takes place in the
prayer
of of of of of of of of of
um of Charity like we have it today more
deeper than the than the atonement which
took place
um regulatory service things like this
there's regular charity you give charity
amazing but then you have the charity
that comes through prayer so on one hand
prayer we know is really momentum but
when you do it for a community you're
transforming it to bring it down so
that's the prayer of of of of of of of
it's done through sacrifice the prayer
that's done like as a communal prayer
that actually brings it down even
greater why is that never explaining
this
generally speaking we know
as we learned before prayer in general
you're elevating from this world like we
find the story with khanas right she
wanted to cleat Hashem and like the
verse says clearly
I was pouring out my soul my through
prayer to Hashem and and so from here we
see that the prayer is she's Drew she's
she's learning calcium now
she's trying to go she's trying to go up
high but what is the ultimate goal the
ultimate goal Pro is nothing just going
high the Golden Goal prayer is he you
want to leave to Hashem but you want the
energy to come back down to this world
and to basically to add to that and it's
brought down like in acidic discourses
when it says
so there's two actually two eight two
eight two ways to look at it another one
you know the verse says
it's pouring out your soul which is
again his prayer is you see the prayers
so there's two insights
go email can be translated
as a separation like for example
the child grew up and he was wean so you
see goemos of separation
that's one Insight but going well also
comes from from not from a separate it's
actually a giving like I saw them so you
see the same word of going well is it
going mil separation like or is it
giving so going milk can go both ways
separation and giving now
so going on naturally when you're
talking about it says
from the second way which is basically
where you're giving where does that play
place that takes place when you're
praying but who's praying The Godly soul
is praying
and as when The Godly Souls the essence
of prayer the the foundation of prayer
is drawing up on high but when they when
they when with just two people that are
praying when everyone else we have a
Godly soul and animal Soul so when The
Godly soul is praying so he's praying
but his goal is to bring it back down
here he doesn't want to pray to leave he
wants to bring godliness Godly shall be
in his life morning afternoon whatever
he's doing
but on the other hand that's The Godly
soul but then you have the we said means
from disconnect disconnection so when we
say the prayer which disconnects you
that's when the animal soul is praying
the animal cell wants to run away from
everything
he wants to go away from the world he
doesn't want to exist powerful whatever
it's an unbelievable Point you're saying
is that when you when the prayer is
taking place so generally pray as you
want to leave but The Godly Soul wants
to leave to be able to bring back
godliness into the world the animal
cells wants to run away get me out of
here
what does that mean practically in other
words when the animal soul is praying
and he and he's praying he's cleaving to
Hashem it's not because he wants to
bring their gardeners he wants us leave
he doesn't want to deal with challenges
and problems
So based on the ship explains
beautifully this that we say
that the prayer of The Godly soul is
called
which again means he's bringing down
Guardians to the world
which again going well also means supper
you know on one hand you're praying to
separate you bring it back into this
world it means even and even The Godly
Soul even he wants to bring it down this
world but he also has a component where
he's leaving
just like the animal soul but that the
whole intent is to leave so you see this
basically two two two things that take
place in prayer on one hand you want to
leave but The Godly Soul Is Well about
bringing back the Guardians into the
world versus the animal soul is actually
leaving now
remember as we know when it comes to
atonement
when it comes to that there's two ideas
in atonement
and there's what's the two ideas
and I was like this someone did
something wrong God said to do the sweet
thing you didn't do it God says don't do
it and you went ahead and you did it you
rebelled against God you sinned against
God
now
how does a Tobin take place how do you
create atonement you did something wrong
how do you fix it you had you missed an
opportunity to do a Mitzvah or you
transgressing either something you
shouldn't be doing how do you fix it and
Gerber explains the way to fix it is you
have to draw down I'll say in Hebrew
I'll translate it
from the essence of the infinite light
the owner of the will a Mitzvah is a
will of Hashem whether it's do this or
don't do that it's the will of Hashem so
how do you fix it you have to go to the
essence of the Israelite the owner of
that will
and because the owner of the will and so
powerful idea in Kabbalah he's not he's
not tied to that will Hashem said for
example 613 Commandments duties 248
don't don't do this 365.
obviously we have to do them but as God
constricted to those Mysteries he could
change it he could say all of a sudden
boom you don't have to do those 48 you
don't do we write the 360. you don't do
any you don't do anything God can do
that
so when you go ahead
and you reach the place of Hashem
the essence of the infinite power of
Hashem the owner of the will and in that
place he doesn't he's not limited to the
will so then when you reach that place
so all the sins you've done
go away because you reached a higher
place so in other words one reason is
how how atonement works you reach
the infinite part of Hashem the owner of
the will and that place he's not he's
not constricted by it so therefore you
can have atonement so God said fine I
can forgive you
another reason even deeper
that creates atonement
that when you drew when you when you
bring down when you draw down
from the infinite part of Hashem which
again is the balharat sign so what
happens then is
not that he forgives you you draw in a
new will
higher than the will that went away when
you're singing when you say and say God
well you know you lost you lost it but
God brings in a new will
and when God brings in a new will if you
come again once again United with Hashem
just like before the sin
but that's what they're saying is like
this two there's two ways atonement
takes place
one way is you reach the level
where
the essence favorite of God he's the
owner of the will and if we can forgive
you it's done you don't have to say okay
it was a band he couldn't he couldn't he
couldn't pardon you the other way is no
you reach that place and from there he
draws in a whole new will
and once he draws in the Holy will
you're fine
what's the difference
the difference like this
in the first level you what you do you
reach the essence of the infernal life
Hashem and everything gets so to speak
right away because God is he doesn't he
knows even though he he's wanted that
message to happen but he doesn't
necessarily have to he can choose that
they find it was okay if you didn't do
it
so he's really disc so he's really
disconnected from the will
he doesn't have to have that will he
could have chose something else that's
one that's that's one level
another another deeper level is
this that we say you're drawing a new
will not because he's disconnected it's
because he is the owner of the world and
he can bring in new Wills
in the first case okay
he doesn't he wants you to do this well
okay so if you didn't do it he's okay
with it and the second level is he can
bring in a whole new will whole new
level
why is that because when you're dealing
with the level of will
there's there's a limitation how much it
could be drawn down now what happens is
when God wants you to do this and you
didn't do it so the will of Hashem went
away
however that's if you're only reaching
to the level of rotten but when you
reach the level of the balharat Singh
the owner of the will
so he's not limited
in how how to draw and be drawn down and
even after you did the opposite of the
will of Hashem and because of that
unfortunately will run away
so when you get so deep and so high a
whole new will can come down
based on the show explains beautiful
like this
now we'll understand why the main
atonement takes place
through acts of kindness in case of
talba's army
charity why because what is the internal
will of Hashem not the will the external
the internal of Hashem what's the
internal one the internal will is that
more light should come down into this
world
God desires we constantly knew Wills of
light into this world God wants to focus
on Christian should be coming into the
world
now
so what is it what does that mean
God wants that the Russian should take
place the will should come in this world
and also in reference to fixing anything
that was that would that went wrong
however when it comes to nullifying
something that was wrong
that how does that happen because the
infinite partnership the Bible Russian
he's disconnected so there's there's a
tremendous power that takes place with
drawing on the light into this world but
comes by elevating the light in other
words
when a person goes ahead and wants to
get relieve this world so to speak
Elevate the world you want to go out
from your from your existence you want
to nullify Your Existence so what
happens then is you reach the owner of
the will which is foreign which is which
is obviously which is totally above the
will
now but when you draw down the light
after you got elevated
you bring that power down to this world
and when you bring that power back into
this world you that's when everything
gets goes away
so there was saying is very powerful
things like this how does atonement take
place
atonement take place yes
you have to be willing to totally
nullify yourself leave and connect to
weird connect to the highest places of
the infinite part of Hashem
but from there not just today to wipe
out the sin but to draw down more light
into this world that's the real power of
atonement you leave this world you reach
the highest place but then over there
it's something okay we the goal is to
fix it to bring down more godliness into
the world So based on this story
explained beautifully he says as follows
that's why the Torah says
when you elevate the head of the Jewish
people
and what does it say in the
talmudas Tells Hashem God
how are we going to elevate the Karen of
the Jewish people and whatever
you have to do kisiso what does it means
when you elevate in other words there's
two components in case you saw one is by
elevating the head of the Jewish people
and the care and the power of the Jewish
people is just like the two components
that we learned before of literally
doing Hassan bringing godliness into the
world and the second component is
that's done through prayer what does
that mean as follows
what happens when a person goes ahead
and sins so it becomes a weakness there
becomes a downgrade so to speak
in what in the head of the Soul
what what is the downgrade it's not that
this head God forbid it goes away but
it's not being revealed in the intellect
and emotions like we call before the
premium
that's just like when the light leaves
when a person does something wrong
another when the light leaves and it's
not shining in the vessels so what's the
whole idea of elevating elevating the
head the goal is that the power of
revelation of the head of the soul is as
strong as before so that it can shine
back into the intellectual emotions
and when a person goes ahead
and gives
charity
is like the atonement which basically
you're fixing goes wrong
just like a person gave charity so
that's the first level by giving when
you're giving charity fine you're
bringing you bring you're cleaning it up
but moisture didn't Wonder no no I'm not
just worried about the roost ahead I
want to know how do we Elevate the
current the higher level why
because since the downgrade not in the
Royce that was before but then we're in
the Karen
not that God forbid that because the sin
doesn't affect the Karen
but what the problem is since what's the
whole purpose I came down for a reason
to bring godliness down to the world
and I didn't do it how can I revisit the
idea of bringing back godliness down to
the world they missed the opportunity
and that's why moisture intelligence
role
the the cutter the goal was to bring all
these in the world
and those I want to be able to fix the
fact that the intent of God of drawing
down the essence of God into this world
not the part of God which is connected
to rotting but he's not he's not limited
to it but the part of God which is
totally disconnected and therefore
therefore Hashem says
is going to elevate the heads of the
Jewish people
that
they're going to elevate it to the level
of you know to the level of in front of
a college book or to the highest level
to the essence of Hashem so who hasn't
have to happen
you have to do it why because what's
moisture being a moisture is the level
of and as we know that the the water to
to to reveal the level of savage through
Mali you need moisture man to elevate
the Jewish people now
even though moisture being his job is
kisisaw but he's able to bring down the
the Jewish people to the highest level
of in front of Hashem and that's how
you're able to bring down the heart to
to elevate the level of the current the
powerful level of the of the Jewish
people now
so obviously motion brain is able to
elevate us to a high level but in order
to bring this back down to the Jewish
people
had to do something powerful and he
couldn't just tell him to give
most women have to actually take it from
them like Rashi says you have to take it
from the atonement why is that because
most women have to elevate it to a
higher level and like we learned before
that when a person goes ahead and just
us gives charity so what are you drawing
down you're drawing down the will of the
of the Bible
but in order to reach the ball of option
which is not limited to that will that
comes from the higher level of Charity
which is the track the charity comes
through prayer so it has to be where
moisture has to take it and then you can
even reach the higher level in others
you have to create
um an elevation but the goal is to to
bring down the powerful source so the
same thing also applies when it comes to
koi furniture
that when we gave the charity and we're
drawing that means we're drawing down
godliness that's one level and then you
can create the elevation in the head
part but when through moisture man it
goes ahead and takes it from them
and those Elevate you know this idea of
elevating of Charity so then you're able
to you know even though you're leaving
but you're able to draw down a much
powerful light the light of the infinite
part of Hashem which is totally
disconnected much higher than the will
and through that you're able to have not
only the the elevation of the head be
able to have the elevation of the caring
Israel and like the urban finishes off
powerfully it says the karnatitorium
recovery that the highest level of the
current will be elevated what With Honor
so here's another beautiful and Powerful
so they discourse a lot of obviously
deep kabbalistic ideas and
um
ideas but here you see the real power of
a
um giving charity helping people
praying but praying not just to leave
the world like the National Bahamas but
praying yes we want to leave but the
goal is to bring down the godliness into
the world and we bring and goals to
reach the highest levels literally the
essence of the infamous line of Hashem
the Bal Hara saying we can bring in the
powerful light in this world which
brings a new rot sign of Hashem which
will create the ultimate and greatest
atonement
thanks so much for joining us for our
weekly consider's class and let's hope
as we always finish off that our next
class will be your shalayim have a great
and blessed week
