Welcome to our class on we're going to
be learning today a very very powerful
and classic discourse in the rebba so
with an introduction the previous Reb
before he passed away he gave out a
discourse
called which had 20 chapters and every
single year on the anniversary of the
passing of the previous re and when the
re took over leadership he would again
recite theic discourse and explain every
year another section of the discourse in
depth um so for example the first cycle
of the 15 years so in the 15 year the re
gave this discourse which again
said and um we're going to learn this
powerful discourse I want to say is it's
a classical discourse because a it's
establishes the the leadership of the
rebba and the anniversary of leadership
and because it's it's a something which
continues the legacy of the Kabab
movement so you'll in the discourse the
brings in a teaching from the from the
from the the ideas to bring in these
powerful teachings to unite all the
powerful Souls of the dasty and the
dynasty all into this discourse again
theic discourse is based on the verse in
the prophets from King Solomon that
says I came to my
garden my sister my bride
D says that he
brings the from the teaching of the B
the one that passed away the so he
brings a teaching of the med and the med
explains this ver that says lagani to my
garden it saysi so what does it mean to
my garden it means that the place that I
was my my main stay was there in the
beginning what does that mean because
when Hashem originally created the world
so in Hebrew it's
called the main presence dwelling of
hasem was in this world in the physical
world and then what happened was sadly
by the fact that
Adam went ahead the first human being
sinned and with a primordial sin so the
the presence of hem left of this world
into the heaven and and the generations
after that that they still were were not
uh listening to God so the the the
presence of hem went from one heaven to
the next Heaven until it went up to the
seventh heaven afterwards after this
process where it left to the the Earth
and ENT the seven Heavens so then
through the sadim the righteous people
the fathers of the world they went ahead
and they brought it down from the
seventh heaven to the sixth until the
seventh and which is mosu and we know
says the servant is always beloved and
he brought the the the presence of hem
that godliness of hem down from heaven
to this
earth and that's what that's the whole
idea to the place that I was there
before and know the goal is to bring
down that there should be the dwelling
the presence of hem should dwell into
this physical world and that's why the
verse says and it should rest
Everlasting in other words when you're
dealing with with theik the righteous
people and right people not just certain
people everyone's a
what's our job as AIC in this world
what's our job is to make
a we have to make a dwelling place forem
we're down in this physical world how do
we do that we do it by esaf practicing
restraint every time we resist listening
to our animal soul and our
our that's first level the second thing
is transformation not only don't we
practice we actually transform what do
we trans form the other side so then
what we create is I'll say it in Aramaic
and translated what we create
isic which means the the the specialty
the preciousness of God is felt in in in
in this world what is that that's
referring to the part of AEM that's in
all world's equal and and and and and
and it should it should be felt in this
world it should be felt what does that
mean practically so the terms of cabala
is that the
Revelation the re that the the
revelation of the part that HS over the
world is too powerful to come into the
world should come into this world um
that energy which is on all Worlds the
same so should come into this world and
that's why the verse
says I'm going to dwell amongst them
where is that so we know hm dwells in
the Mish on the Tabernacle in the bet
mdash but the verse says plural which
means that hem dwells within s every
single Jew and and and in there Hashem
dwells and he and and he's there forever
because we bring down the the presence
of the the godl of hem into this world
and
therefore in the Mish in the Tabernacle
and in the BET mikdash and which the
purpose of the Mish Mish is that God
should be able to dwell down here so
what is the avoid what was a spiritual
service in the Mish was sacrifices and
also incense and like it says in
the the the powerful energy of the of
the sacrifice goes up goes up to the
infinite part of like like that says in
the
Torah the pleasing fragrance that hasem
received that he said what he says his
Commandments we we listen to and we do
that we bring down that powerful energy
down into this into this physical world
so therefore
since where did that happen in the
mishon in the Tabernacle in the bet
mdash that's why the mishon was built
from a like the M says that comes from
the word
of silliness why is that because our job
is to transform the silliness of the
world and to make the the the the planks
the the the the that stand that that
would that would stand for the walls of
the mishan why is that because the
planks are called Kim and in it's plural
in singular it's a KES now so KES has
the letters of KU but if you take the
words take the letters and you spin it
around you have the idea of the letters
of also food and like it's explained at
length in the continuation of of theic
discourse that the letters of Kish
K refers to the idea a spiritual level
and also serving hem and when we go
ahead and we take from this she from the
fce of the world and we make the Kish
the the part it's a it's a the big part
of the of the Tabernacle which was made
from a from wood which is silliness
on on a on a on a on on a certain level
then we able to create things that stand
off and they they they they withhold and
like um like the the the beams that that
connect the high and the low the low and
the high and literally they become one
and how does that happen it happens
through doing our spiritual work of the
sometimes you have to be crazy good
something you have to be off the charts
good and when a person does things
without any calculations and you do what
hasem wants you don't try to logically
figure it out and make sense or feel
good Hashem wants you to do it that's
how you go ahead and you transform the
world now who does this work the Jewish
people do the work and that's why the
Jewish people in the Bible are called
cem in the army of hem and he continues
on to explain what is what what is what
is the Army and know the Army the is the
people that through them you're able to
go out and wage war talking spiritual
war not physical war and to be
successful in the war and like we see
the way works down in this world that
when it comes to a War the King it it's
important to win the war so the same
thing also Hashem wants us to win the
war and therefore since Hashem wants us
to win the war he has to give us tools
he has to give us ammunition so when
when you have a physical King what does
he do he opens up all when it comes to
war they open up all the treasures not
only his treasures but the treasures
from his ancestors and um anything any
any treasure gets pulled out and things
are even very very precious so precious
that you don't even show it to anybody
and how much more so you're not going to
give it to any anybody but on the other
hand when it comes to a war and being so
a a war but B also being successful in
the war being in Hebrew it's called n to
have to be successful in war he opens up
the treasure houses and he actually
gives it out and he gives it out happily
and he gives it through the people that
are in charge of the war to the people
fighting the war like he says to the CM
the people that are fighting God's War
so that we should be successful
obviously again we're talking about a
spiritual war now so in other
words so what is Hashem giving us Hashem
is giving us the tools what's the tools
he says he opens up the O the treasure
so so and that's what he gives us to to
be successful in the war so obviously in
a physical Army we know what the
treasure is but the question is what
treasure is Hashem giving us to fight
the spiritual war that we can bring
godliness down to the world so now we're
going to go into in depth more the the
15th chapter he says in order to
understand this powerful treasure hem is
giving us so he gives an introduction
where it says in the zo and and he says
like this I'll say it in Hebrew because
this is what it's based on and then
we'll get into it we'll explain it he
says as follows the treasure that he's
giving us is what the Z
says the infinite light of hem and this
powerful infinite light is
it's high off the
charts it's low off the charts and he
finishes off he says that this that it
says the infinite life is very very high
that's the treasure so you want to know
what treasure we're getting to F the
war gives us the infinite light which
is to clarify that when we say high and
low we don't mean physically higher or
physically lower we talking spiritually
higher okay so he says in order to
understand with tremendous expansion of
understanding and with tremendous depth
the power of this treasure which is the
infinite which is on
the so therefore before that in the
previous chapter before chapter 15 he
explains the the the the uh tremendous
power of the that has the power to go to
the lowest
levels without any limits in other words
the power the infinite light of hm has
the power to go down to the lowest
places up to the point wherever it is
even in the lowest darkest concealed
places guess what the infinite light is
there so this shows how powerful it how
powerful this powerful light is so
that's what he explained and now in this
chapter he's going to explain the real
power of when we say the infinite light
is it's it's it's highest and the
highest level up to like almost like an
infinite level and which is obviously
even higher than L than that it has the
power to go to the lowest places and he
finishes off and he says that's the
treasure that's the treasure hashm gives
us in other words that even this
powerful
treasure he gives us people fighting the
war to be successful in the war and now
only does he give it to us he says but
he gives it in a way of bisbas he's like
totally giving it to you with abundance
and as much as you need with with
happiness you to be successful in the
war so so what do you see from me why is
he giving it to you if it's such a
powerful treasure because what Hashem
what's important to Hashem is Hashem
wants us to be successful in the war and
this is important to the king himself
he's giving you the treasure he's giving
you why is he giving it to you because
it's important that we be successful in
the war and he says in the 15th chapter
after he explains the idea
ofs that that the power the light has
the power to go to the lowest pavers he
says in order to understand the power
power of this Treasure
of which is again also referring to the
infinite part of so he says it's similar
to what we explained before about has
the power to go to the lowest places
that that goes that it's drwn down to
the lowest places so based on that we'll
understand that when we
say is even higher but the difference is
and when it's even higher it's in a way
of higher but it's a way of concealment
in other words it's standing in a way
it's very very high but he used the word
I'll say Hebrew I'll translate it it's
in a way of hel this powerful light is
concealed and it's a double concealment
and in two ways like it's explains in in
the discourse that we're dealing with
light and we're dealing
with Revelation and both the light and
both the both the Revelation are both
concealed
so is referring to a very high level
that is the light is concealed and the
Revelation concealed and that's the gift
that he gives us and so he explains as
follows he says one second seemingly we
have to understand he asked a very
simple question this that we say that we
learned in last year in chapter 14 Etc
that the infinite part of hem goes down
L the places which are God's conce
concealed yeah that's very that's self
understood why because what does mean
it's infinite and it's and it's like the
light before the contraction infinite
light so we so so obviously you say that
powerful light comes into the concealed
places and even lower into the most
darkest places yeah that that obviously
makes sense because how can you compare
it to the light before the sson so that
we understand the big revolutionary idea
that the IR goes down to dark plac yeah
it's dark it's a it's finite it's it's
it's it's counter with of godliness so
so we get it white say IR Insite but
seemingly how can you explain that we
say the infinite part of hem is on on on
it's even very very high it's referring
to the infinite infinite part of hem
because the fact is if you're going
dealing with the infinite part of hem
before the simp I'm sure it's infinite
so what are we saying what's the
Revolutionary idea over here that we
say
is Cat in the highest level yeah for
sure before the simpon the IR is
infinite so he explains over there that
when he
says what does it mean it means means
High uses two terms high and concealed
and like he like we already he explained
the F the word before hel like a deep
deep
concealment up catch means there's no
limit to the concealment so in other
words what do we what is the treasure
that we're focusing on we're focusing on
the treasure which is the IR the
infinite part of hem which is exists on
higher and higher but more importantly
concealment of concealment concealment
of delight and concealment of of of of
the of of the Revelation that's what
hasem gives us okay so what what is that
so he says he brings like which he
brings a a teaching of the like he says
actually brought down in the in the
classical book
of and he brings the verse that
says so right the beginning of the of
the Bible right in beginning of it says
bous in the beginning B elim God created
s Etc so the so he bant brings that what
is bous he brings the teaching and the
translation of the tum that bous which
is literally translated as the beginning
he says bous
means
right the first one of the so is the ra
the
beginning and it's it's the first thing
so so basically is and the letter Al
and Hashem right
Hashem Hashem he got
concealed and he put on the Garment of
theive so in other words when you when
you see the beginning and you see the
first letter Olive what do you see you
see an olive the the B teaches us no no
you see the olive you know what's hiding
you know what's hiding in that Olive you
know what's concealed in the olive hasem
is is hiding in the
AL then he says s bra s
s is the letters of Al if which is the
first letter of the alphabet and the
tough the last letter know which
referring to the letters from the AL to
the tough which means after God went
ahead and put on these garments and he
closed himself what you see is an Al but
really it's Hashem hiding there so now
it got enclosed into the Baye so the bay
is not just a bay a Baye is God is
hiding in there and the through the fact
that God is hiding in the letter Bay
he so so hasem is hiding when the letter
Al and the letter B so when he gets when
he's hiding in the letter alive so again
what we see is an alive but the fact is
hasem is in there so alive is very very
powerful so through the letter alive
Hashem created the world ofus starts
with the letter alive then when hasem
went ahead and he got concealed in a
double concealment in the letter Bay
that we see a base but the fact is that
letter baze that looks like a baze the
fact is hashm is hiding there and he
used the B to create the world of R and
then he went to the letter gimmel and
then Etc every single letter till he
went to the letter tough the fourth the
last letter in the alphabet and the re
says what is tough tough is referring to
the idea of 400 worlds that Hashem
created by coming into the letters of Al
if B Etc until he comes to the letter s
so what you see is a letter but really
what what's in the letter Hashem is
hiding in there and through that he
created that silus Bri and all the 400
worlds and after that he comes even
lower it means he's putting on garments
and he's concealing himself and more
concealing himself up to the point that
he
created
the the chaos the confusion the darkness
that
exists that's all coming from what from
the concealment ofm created the world
which is which is referring to the the
obviously the cha chaos world is called
the world of the kipot and how does it
come from breim it all came from shim
what is the name elim we know it was
referring to the idea of G and um
strength and
constraint so what do we see from here
that when it goes on
higher and higher is on the highest
level in other words the way is revealed
before the Simson before made the Simson
the contraction and because at that
point obviously the infinite part of was
all over so what happens afterwards it
get that powerful light gets GL gets in
clothed in a concealment and a double
concealment up to the point where you
have the light that was that was
revealed before the sunum is totally
concealed and like he says that when he
created when he created the the the
sensum he basically created an empty SP
mean say there was there was light there
and he put the light on the side so if
you have light and you take this SL out
what do you have you have concealment
and then you have with the the light
actually goes away know he put the light
on the side and when the light's not
there so not only the light is not there
then you don't have the Revelation know
even where the the light is it's there
where it's not revealed so one level is
the light is not there b where the light
can be there right there you just don't
see it it's not being revealed and
that's why he says in theic
discourse what does that mean
concealment within a concealment know
there's no light and there's no
Revelation and Bas he explains the power
of the
mils just like um like we learned in the
in the chapter 14 which we learned that
lent last year of the m is found on the
lowest levels but so the point is that
even over here Hashem is there on the
highest levels but he's in a way of
concealment and not being revealed and
he explains over there that that this
idea it's not on a level where Hashem is
so
concealed and you can't you can't know
it's concealed and it's not revealed but
it's not in the level where it's so
concealed and you cannot reveal it but
so before by the way he had the teaching
like we said he's bring a teaching from
every one of the rabbis and also all the
so now he's gonna bring a teaching for
the the mag of meas and like it's
brought down in the in
the and he says like this based on the
verse that says in the
T make Two Trumpets of
silver so what so what so that's the
literal translation comes along to Mid
and he explains what is the idea of the
Two Trumpets of silver so he says it's
two two half images so what what is the
two half two half images he says it's
referring
to Adam is obviously a word for Adam
right but also he says now he's gonna
explain what does Adam mean he says like
this Adam is made up of of three letters
Al let's deal with the second and third
letter theid represents likea of
speech and the me stands for thought and
that's what human beings are we are
thoughts and our
speech but we're not
complete on our own so so how do we
become complete two two half of images
when we connect to the AL what's the AL
the AL is referring to hem so is what Al
isem our thought our thought and our
speech and we connected to that's where
we become complete
how does that happen how does it happen
he explains to this so this is what
hasem went ahead and he made many many
contractions many many worlds and he and
he and he explains that by creating
contraction after contraction
concealment after concealment guess what
we we we arrived We're Here We Exist
because God Is
concealed in other words and why why did
Hashem do this why why did has conceal
himself you can so you might think you
conceal so you can exist then no it's
not no it's not that concealed so we
should exist andm
shouldn't yes he the first component
hasem conceals so we can exist but once
we exist the goal is not to be dum not
to be a piece of blood but thought and
thought thought thought and speech the
goal is we have to become an ad we have
to be a complete human being how do we
become a complete human beings when we
connect to the AL when we create Unity
with hem so for Bas he explains that all
these concealments which basically means
it was a hel after Helm concealment
after
concealment wasn't that it should remain
concealed and it's not revealed but the
ultimate intent is that it shouldn't
remain concealment not that's not the
intent the intent is that the Revelation
should come down into this phys physical
world where human beings
are and we should affect the dam the
blood which is our thought in our our
speech that we should connect with the
olive with hem and then together
um we're not going to have two halves
we're going to have one human being one
Adam so real Adam is basically made up
of two parts our thoughts our speech
connecting with hem and this this
creates the impact like he explains in
in in in in that
commentary that a person has to I'll say
in in in in Hebrew in in Hebrew and and
Yiddish because that's the it's
beautiful he brings these
Expressions we have to break we have to
pierce through all the materialism and
to go higher and higher until you
connect with hem in other words so what
do you see from here when we say a God
that the infinite part of hem
is it doesn't mean hash is trying to
concealment and concealment so that we
shouldn't we shouldn't connect no no
no no it's not that it should be a
concealment you can't you can't even
realize how concealed it is the goal is
to have the concealment and in there
create the unity and the unity is
created in an internal way because a
person's disconnecting from materialism
and you go higher until you connect with
hm himself and that's what he explains
that's what he explains the idea
of and like he explains after in
discourse where it says in that in the
beginning the infinite light of hem
filled the whole empty space and
therefore there couldn't be there
couldn't be room for anything physical
to exist because the fact is the
infinite light was revealed
and because it was revealed you couldn't
we couldn't exist in the Revelation so
afterwards you come so the first level
is God's revealed God's revealed we
can't exist then the next level
is means the way it's on in Source in
the essence of hem and over there in its
source it has the power and the ability
but you obviously you can't say that it
filled the whole whole Space because
obviously you can't say this in
reference to the mo the source of life
but only in the light so in other words
the Simpson that takes place is only in
the light not the not in the source of
light and like he brings like like we
expain we're going to go through every
single rebba so he said that and the and
now he's gonna bring what from the alter
Reb and he like he brings from the
powerful teaching from the alter Reb
like he explains at length in and in
many many places also that when we sayem
weighed the cons the contraction mean he
created the empty space you can't God
forb it say that the Simpson took place
in what in the mo in the source of light
the Simpson was only in the light
because when you're dealing with
light you can say the light spreads out
and you can also say you contract the
light it's only a ray it's not the thing
itself so this when we say hasem created
a in the light and now you have an empty
space it's only referring to light not
to the source of light in other words
before before hasem created Tsum the
light was
revealed and it f it filled the whole
place and because it filled the whole
place obviously the world couldn't exist
because it was so powerful like the mag
says but afterwards you created the
concealment but the more to be clear the
source of light is even Not only was it
revealed then but even today it's
revealed even after the even after you
have the contraction where it's totally
clear does nothing exist no the mar
never goes away and like he explains
powerfully in explains in that's why
every single person has the power
wherever you are whoever you are to say
barash why if the light's off and you're
in a dark how can you say barash because
the M the source of life is always there
and even men women children in other
words what does it mean that everyone
can say because the fact is how can we
say it because the mo the source of
light is always here contraction only
took place in the light in the
ray because in the beginning it was
revealed and after was concealed but the
mar the source is always revealed and he
continues on to say over there as
follows since we're
saying that
it's it's infinite and in the true level
it's
infinite so therefore once we're saying
that it's it's infinite so therefore
something that's infinite you can't give
any any titles you can't give any
limitations to it so therefore you have
to
say
that in the in the place where the light
shown you had hey you had the the finite
light and the infinite light this is
fascinating in the place with the light
you had the infinite and the finite
there in other words you had the light
which which is finite which allowed for
the world to exist and you have also the
light that that there's no room for the
world to exist you have both of them
because otherwise you otherwise how can
it be infinite light so infinite means
has the power to to to reveal and the
power not to reveal the power to be
finite the power be infinite and that's
why he brings in the in theic discourse
from classical teaching fromes and he
says that is actually the completion of
everything what does that mean and he
explains just like it has the power with
infinite it has the power with finite
because if you're can to say it's only
infinite then it's not complete if it's
only fin it's not complete it has both
Powers but
nevertheless nevertheless it does even
even though it has both but if if the
infinite light is there how can the
world exist even though you have the
finite light why because the fact is
when the infinite light is is shining so
yes you have the finite light as well
but the finite L doesn't have a way to
stand there in other words even though
yes the finite light exists but how can
you how can you see the finite light you
have the infinite light so what do you
see you see the infinite light and
therefore the world couldn't exist so
therefore hashm had to go ahead and
create a tum Tsum a contraction and in a
way that he totally contracted again
remember the light not the source of
light and that's why it's called an
empty SP in reference to the light only
in other words that the the the um the
light that was revealed before now
became an empty space and it's totally
totally empty and and and and desolate
and after hem created empty place he
brought in a a a a small strand of light
one one line and through the line that's
what he used to create to create the
world So based on explains beautifully
this is how they answer the question
where it says it
says I didn't
change and like explains on the M
another term it
says is from when he created the world
to after it's the same thing so the
question is what do you mean how can it
be the same thing there's a big
difference the fact is before created
the world it was infinite then you had
the Tsum God contracted and then you had
creation of the world and you have this
physical world and up to the point where
it's like totally God is totally
concealed so say there's no difference
so he
explains explains
in so seemingly one second how he says
how can how is it possible say didn't
change because even when there's a
change in Mal which is the lowest sphere
of the world of what does it
say and know that the kingdom
hasem the way the way the way it was
before the the Tsum that is a source of
the kingdom of of of of of the whole
worlds even this world even this
physical world so therefore there's a
change the way is in the world of waits
in this physical world it's different it
should should create a difference
between one world and next but
nevertheless the question is how
does how is they not to change and he
explains very powerfully he says like
this how how did hasm create the world
he created the world by the medium of
called which means he created a space
and he created an emptiness in the space
so what does that mean when we say tum
we say what we're saying is we're saying
it's a tum but it's not I'll say in
Hebrew it's not cause and effect and
because if there's cause and effect that
creates a change but when there's a when
there's a tum there is no change why is
that because when you have a cause and
effect so something causes something so
it takes away from the sort where it's
from so when there's a change in
something guess what if if you create
something to happen so for let's say you
put effort in to do something so you
made something happen guess what your
effort went away so would call a change
or for example even deeper he says like
when you use the term shef shefa means a
flow because when you're dealing with
the the idea of light like he explains
the discourse um to starts with
understand the idea
of he explains like this when he say
light light means or not a flow why
because when you have a change in the
flow when there's a flow of energy so
the person steering the flow the Masia
the one giving it will you will change
but over here wasn't wasn't the cause
and effect and it wasn't the flow what
was it it was a syum or contraction and
especially the first contraction what is
that what is the first contraction Mak B
you went to the side and and and by
going to the side you created an empty
space and then the light comes back
in but the fact
is the the the the contraction is only
in the light and only in the in the in
the ray but not a cause and effect so
therefore because it's only um um uh a
contraction in the light so therefore it
doesn't change anything anything in the
essence of hem because the essence of hm
doesn't didn't change it wasn't evolved
it was only in the Ray and the ray
either was revealed or not revealed so
therefore it wouldn't C cause wouldn't
cause a change but afterwards he goes on
to say even
deeper that
even so what what do we have till now
before we go further so in the mo or in
the source of light it's not effected
it's not do with with the source of
light and it's not causeing effect it's
not a flow there the light the light was
shining or the light wasn't shining but
has it affect the source now he's going
to go deeper and saying and this is
powerful even in the light that was that
was shining and then the light went out
of the way there is no change in the
light as well also why even though
you're going to say one second the light
there's a contraction of the light first
it didn't first it existed it didn't
exist now you put on a small light so so
so the fact is it is a
change so and and the fact is because
you're saying think what you're saying
it you you had no light then you you had
light then you had empty space and
you're drawing a light so you're saying
you're drawing a small light so
obviously it is considered a
contraction and so but nevertheless what
is he saying that there is no difference
when it comes to light why is that he
explains like this now he's goingon to
bring in a teaching from and from the
classical works
of he says as follows he brings what the
brought down another
explanation that even comes to a light
there is no change why and he gives an
example take for example Mo we knowu was
a soul of the world
ofus that's one example or for example
from an example of Prophecy um which um
which is also connected to the world of
AAS the world of Bri Etc now even though
he says even though the fact is when the
temple was destroyed there there's no
more prophecy in other words so what
does that mean it doesn't mean there
there's a change in Prophecy because
today this prophecy as well the
difference is we don't have the vessel
to received the
prophecy for and for example he gives an
example if Mo existed today Mo would
still be Inus just like then so he
didn't change don't change in the light
the difference is we don't have the
power to receive it so in other words
when it comes to prophecy and
mo that light is is
shining that there's no change in the
light what changes we don't have the
power to receive it and the same thing
also like like he explains the in the in
the in the uh in the the teaching of the
mitah he says like this and he gives
another example take for example you
have a a teacher and he's trying to
teach something to his students so the
fact is a a a a very very wise and and
and a brilliant teacher you can't
compare his intellect to the intellect
of a
child so in order for him to the teacher
to go ahead and teach the child he can't
just go ahead and spit it out the way he
sees it you need
dilute it and present it in the way that
the the child can receive it so how do
you do that the first the process is you
have to go ahead and take all all your
brilliant ideas and so to speak put it
on the side and then pull out something
the child could understand now and this
is a practical example when the
brilliant teacher takes his intellect
and puts it aside what does that mean
his intellect isn't the garbage can and
he doesn't have it anymore no the
intellect the teacher is there just like
before there was no change but he put it
on the side and this has nothing to do
with the
student and this the student has a
connection with the
teacher doesn't affect the fact that the
teacher had this brilliant idea right in
his far what he was thinking
about but the only thing that's not
revealed right now and even the the fin
in Thug is not
revealed he's only sharing with him the
part he has to
know so based on this analogy know that
you take think about the teacher idea he
had the intellect didn't change the
light of the light of the in didn't
change he just pushed it inside and he
brought out a small light that that he
gave it to him so this helps us
understand that even from the light when
hasem the light was there he created an
empty space that's it does there change
in the light no the light just moves
aside the light is nothing the light
didn't
change what happens is the receiver
doesn't have it can't receive it and he
receives the part that that's
appropriate for
him and like for example the times the
same apply to M the prophets Etc they're
prophets the difference is that whether
we can receive it or not it depends how
much they're willing to
she and more than that says like he
explains in the discourse of the of the
which is the previous re that even so
till now we said that a the first was
there's no tum in the in in the in the m
in the source of light then we learned
there's no Tsum in the light itself now
he's going deeper and he's saying is
even the symtom the contraction where
you created that empty space there is no
there's no difference also in in the in
the light why is that he says like this
and he gives another example of a of of
of a teacher that wants to go ahead and
teach and reveal his powerful ideas to
his students and he wants actually the
student should be like like him
know the ultimate purpose of a teacher
is that a student should become like the
teacher but in order for the student to
reach that level the teacher can't just
go ahead and boom give him all this
information he can't just on the level
the teacher sees it so what the teacher
needs to do is he has to create a a a a
empty space he has to create what we
call in cabala simum reine where he
totally creates an empty space and then
you bring in like a a a small line a
small a small light what does that mean
practically intellect that the child
could that the student can
comprehend and you have to bring it down
not the way the teacher understands it
you have to bring it a small line a
small line that something that the
student can
receive and then by bringing that small
light and another small light and
another small light and the the student
starts working on his own then the
student has the opportunity and the
possibility to be like the teacher so in
other words so not only is there no
change in the life
because the fact is the light is
revealed but the only thing the
studentes
doesn't it's not appropriate for for the
studient for the student but even the
contraction and and since the whole
purpose of the contraction is so why you
creating the contraction why you
creating the empty space so the student
could be like
you in other words that the goal is a
student should receive the infinite part
of the that the teacher has so what's
the path there's a path to get there the
first path to get there is a Tsum so
what do you see from here that even
while the teacher is creating the
contraction of light and creating the
empty space in the air you have the
infinite part of the teacher but in
order for the
student should reach that level so you
have to do this this this is part of the
process you have to create the Tsum so
therefore it's not a true change that's
probably the key it's not a true
change it's only that the
student should appear like as if there's
a change he can receive it but from the
teacher's perspective there is no change
and there's no
contraction what does the teacher see my
student is going to be like
me but right now it's only in potential
it's only the beginning and afterwards
it's going to happen in reality so knows
what's what is the point of the analogy
that when the symptom From hashem's
perspective there is no change not in
the not in the source of light not in
the light and not even the symptom
because hem the ultimate goal is we
should have everything but he creates
the concealment for us that we should as
as if it looks like there's there's a
change but really is no there is no
change
now from all these components that the
tum the contraction
effects so the truth is yes nothing
changed but nevertheless so nothing
really changed from A's perspective or
the analogy of the teacher Etc but the
fact is in a revealed way when it comes
to the Revelation if you want to talk
Tas or practically in a revealed way it
is concealment after concealment from
the students
perspective or like for example like the
original teaching for the BTO that said
that the concealment created a letter
alive which a lot of ol came from the
concealment the lot of B concealment to
to the point you have a dark world so
that but the concealment does create
from the from the students perspective
from the world perspective of
concealment and that's why he continues
on to say that even
though that in everything we know that
exists there's something that's causing
it to exist Everybody Knows It But
nevertheless even though the reality is
that something is causing to exist the
person can make a
mistake and you're not going to think
because the concealment is so strong
you're not going to think that the that
the energy is godliness up to the point
that you can come to the opposite of
that like like he says in the discourse
you can say
sadly my power and my strength caused it
to happen when really it's coming from
Hashem or like for example the famous
quote that par said Le it's my is and I
made it really you made it no you didn't
make it hem made it but you can make
these false mistakes and false uh false
uh dreams that you think that you run
the world so second seemingly when a
person meditates a little bit you can
come 1 plus one is two you come to
realization
that everything that everything in the
world CES from hem and everything came
from the from the breath of hem and like
the now he bring in the teaching brings
from everyone and he teach he explains
down in many many places and especially
his classical work of he says as follows
that this this discourse of which is one
of the discour that the mentioned many
times and he says as
follows every thing in this world any
physical thing is made up of different
foundations how how how's it made up by
pulling together different different
different foundations in the world what
happened for for example fire water
Earth a etc what happens when the Things
Fall Apart it wouldn't
exist in other words what causes it to
exist the power that unites everything
and unites all the different parts so
obviously if you have four parts that
put everything together there's
something that's putting all the parts
four parts together and it's obviously
high in that and therefore if a person
had the power and the ability with their
eye to see what would you see you would
see the reality truth
like that the words of the words ofm is
causing everything to to stay in
existence that the words of Hashem is is
making it happen it know it uses in yish
the words of make it happen and hold it
up hold up the heaven and hold up the
Earth and everything that's in there and
something like this you can come by by
meditating that realizing that it comes
off from Hashem but nevertheless why
don't we see it why don't we look around
why don't we see it and the answer is
because like he
explains is concealing himself and
concealing himself andem is so concealed
that sadly you can you can think the
opposite you can think that I created
the world or the world happens by itself
or whatever you want to think and like
it says like it says when it's dark on
the face of the Earth and like par said
that that I'm it's my is and I made it
where is that coming from it's coming
from hel hel which basically
is referring to the ultimate concealment
that causes us to think that what hm is
not the one that created the world and
hm is not the one maintaining the world
and that's why he says
like he explained before that the
infinite part
of exists in the lowest levels and and
in the lowest levels is there in the
level of what of so the same thing also
in the highest levels adding cats and
the highest highest levels and up to the
concealment of the con of concealment
where a person could God forbid say I'm
the one that created the world I'm the
one that made the N but even over there
it's the level of the infinite part of
is there but the but the part the point
point is it's in every level in the way
of concealment after concealment and
that's why he says he continues on the
discourse he
says you are the god that's hiding in
other words just like kale one of the
God's names kale which is referring to
kale the part does kindness all day now
that does kindness you see it obviously
Revelation and that's the level of
that's because we see it we see know we
See's godliness where do that come from
it comes from from himself the same
thing
also the part that hashm is concealed
concealment in concealment comes from
where the concealment comes from hm
himself that specifically from the
infinite part of Hashem you can have the
level
of which means the concealment after
concealment and like it's explained at
length from in discourse
of
and of again bringing it again back all
the
different in many many places in
different discour in that just
like that the power the infinite part
the infinite B of hem comes from where
the B am there the true infinite so so
the the infinite comes from the true
infinite the same thing also the finite
and lower than that the the the the the
finite part also comes from the in true
infinite so in other words finite and
infinite come from the true infinite and
um and what's the proof because the fact
is you can't limit the infinite only
through something in Harden it so from
that perspective on the contrary you
have to say that the the the the the the
power of of of of of finite which means
where God is hiding is actually higher
than um from from uh um from from from
himself so therefore in other words when
you have the concealment where's the
concealment coming from it's coming from
the infinite part of hasm himself like
he brings examples and and different
Parables um the way the way the world
the way it exists um lower than the
contraction of light the way it's in
this world like for example in the
vessels of the world of
Bria and even higher in the vessels ofas
and before the up until the essence
which is which is referring to the the
ability for everything to be created
know where has the ability to to light
and not to light and over there it's all
equal and then afterwards it comes down
to the infinite I think the highest
level and to the lowest level and that's
what he explains that's why he
says what does that mean that it
literally comes in the place of of m a
place of
concealment up to the point it goes into
the world of kipot
like it's like teaches us and up until
when when the person does their
spiritual work and and a person could
can say that the my power is making it
happen or like power says it's my is and
I made it and that's why both of these
two different components is referring to
the infinite part of part of that the
referring to the concealment the
concealment
and but there's a big difference what's
the difference here he says the
difference betweena and L in terms of
the INF part of hm when it comes to the
m with the lowest part of hem which mean
God Is concealed so where does it come
from since there a part that's revealed
that comes from the power that gets
drain and the part you can see some
light you know you're dealing with a
physical world and you're say ahem is
here as well leine it's dealing with
such a level of concealment which is
coming from a place where it has the
power not to shine and has the power to
conceal and even in the level where it
has the power to not to shine the power
to conceal guess what over there the
infinite part infinite part of hasm is
there as well and that's why he
continues and explains afterwards that's
this powerful treasure that even this
treasure what's the treasure the
treasure is the concealment where the
most powerful part of hasem is and in
order to win the war not only does
Hashem give us the power and the ability
that L we able to see Godly every in
this world but Hashem gives us the
greatest treasure what is the greatest
treasure l cat that even in the
concealment even where hasm has the
power to conceal hashm gives us that as
well and through that we go ahead and
we're we're we're successful in the war
now and it's G it's given to the
soldiers in the war now even though it's
given to the people in charge of the war
but nevertheless the goal is that
through the people in charge of the war
to come to the actually foot soldiers
and the ones that are successful in the
war and they're they're the ones that
make the success of war and that's why
they call they're foot soldiers and Army
and then what happens is just like when
we left Egypt we went out
Al and the Jewish people are called cem
We're soldiers and guards Army so the
same thing also we will AR Renu the FL
we're going to see wonders we're going
to see wonders with Messiah coming by
doing the our spiritual work in gas in
Exile and we're g we're going to go
out with in in in war in a way that we
take the treasures what's the ultimate
treasure The Treasure of Y Orem and by
by being an Orem Inus we're going to
Merit to the treasure on high which is
basically the greatest concealment we're
gonna have access to the most powerful
tool of the greatest concealment which
hem is
there we're g to be successful in the
war and the Jewish people are G to go
out with outstretch hand it's gonna
happen through Masia and it's gonna
happen very very soon be in our days
here we have really a very powerful
discourse it's a deep cabalistic
discourse but here there us that even
this powerful tool this powerful
Treasure of the greatest concealment and
the greatest part of hem Hashem gives us
to be successful in the war let's hope
that we're successful in the war and the
finishes off we're gon have the coming
of mhia next class will
bees have a great and blessed week sh
