welcome to our class on this we're going
to be learning a beautiful civic
discourse in the rebbe the name of the
civic discourse is called
el moisha he called to moisture revenue
the rebels said this has discourse
and shabbat is passionate
with that year it was the fifth day of
the month of nisan in the year tough
shin memzayin
35 years ago so again the discourse is
based on the opening verse in this
week's torah portion where it says
he called to moisture
trevor says it's known
the questions that are asked in the cote
toyo from the altareba and in other
hasidic discourses after that as well
why does it say vayikra el moisha
he called to maishravenu but it doesn't
say who's calling maestrobainum he
called but who's calling
that's question number one
also if you give a look in the beginning
of the torah portion so by yikra is
written in the
letter aleph and the word vayikra is a
small aleph
and we find in divriam in the prophets
where it says the word adam so over
there the olive is a big olive so
generally speaking the torah is written
with average size letters over here the
olive is small
and in divrei yamim the olive is a big
lip big olive and the question is why is
that
he continues to ask another question it
says in the in in the in the verse after
it says he called to my surreno and he
tells him as follows adam a human being
kia kriv meekem that will come forth
from amongst you and he'll bring and
what was he going to bring as a
sacrifice he's going to he's going to
bring forth the sacrifice so it says
carbon hashem and abhiyama and a bucket
we're not selling different types of
animals he's going to bring as a
sacrifice so it says takrivo they're
going to bring clothes as a carbon
carbon hem your carbon and says that
expression plural so there's many
questions that are asked on that verse
in other words it says adam kiyoko makim
a man that will
bring from amongst you it shouldn't say
ottoman kem a man from amongst you that
will bring the sacrifice why does the
makeup say after kayaking that's
question number one on that part of the
verse and also why does he begin when he
says adam kiyoko means a singular and he
finishes off by saying
um carbon and plural it starts with a
single ends of plural
so derby explains and he says as follows
the idea that over here it starts with
vayikra in the letter aleph and the word
vaikur is small
we can understand that based on what's
explained in the different hasidic
discourses that in general in the torah
there's average letters in hebrew it's
called bananim
then there's small letters and then
there's big big letters
now the aleph vayikra is called a small
letter
but even though it's a small letter it's
brought down in kabbalah so this small
letter
draws in
from the adam on high which is higher
than any limits
so another's like this what they're
explaining in short now that was going
to explain that length is so one hand
but ukraine's calling it a small aleph
yes he's calling the small human being
and the small human being has the power
to draw in from the highest levels
higher the ribba says
even from the the middle the average
letter of the olive like where it says
for example in the in the torah and the
ten commandments
i am god your god and the aleph
is an average letter and that's
referring to our son himself so that's a
regular uh a medium-sized letter but
it's drawing an even higher than that
and the matter of fact
like it's explained in many places why
the ten commandments starts with with an
aleph because again it's referring to
the aleph the aleph of hashem so even
though it's a middle letter it's an
average letter but obviously it's it's
referring to hashem but you're ever
saying that's even higher than that the
level of
like it says in the ten commandments
what does that mean the rubric explains
as follows
it's brought down
in the silicon discourse
based on what it says in the med rush
the mattress says like this
that in reference to brahmavinu what
does it say what does it say in the
torah so it says
a love
there was a call to who to avraham avinu
but who called the brahmavinu
so so the turret says
hashem the one that called of ramavina
wasn't hashem himself was an angel of
hashem
however when it comes to moisture they
know it says
moisture and he called to mushroom again
doesn't say this clearly who called but
but nevertheless what to say afterwards
hashem is calling him hashem is the one
that's speaking to him so you see
there's a major difference between
avraham avinu and moisture
by abraham of indonesia there was a
calling but who called an angel of
hashem but when it came to calling but
it's referring to obedient moisture
between himself called
what's the difference why is by
ibrahimovic was an angel on by by moshe
himself
so he explains in kabbalah explaining
because by abraham
his connection to hashem
even though there was he had a
relationship with youtube
but it came through shame elohim which
is not as powerful as ut kevke
so since
his connection to hashem was through
elohim a more finite part of hashem and
that's why an angel called him
in other words you're going to say what
do you mean the fact is an angel is
repre is a
he's a messenger of hashem and a
messenger is just like the person that's
that he's representing
and a matter of fact the angel himself
says hashem because he's he's
representing hashem but the fact is even
though an angel yes he's an angel and
he's a slayer of hashem and he says
he's representing hashem but the fact is
an angel is a creation that has its own
independent existence it's not hashem
himself the angel has its own
independent existence
however when it comes to moisture
how did he get his energy from hashem he
got it literally from youth cave cave in
the essence of hashem himself
and when you have the the the the uh
drawing the energy from you came above k
you're drawing it without any
intermediary by a brahmavino was through
a malach by moisture remaining was
hashem himself
that's speaking to you
and so
and the rubber explains even deeper and
he says it's brought down in in in many
places in this
that when which says
hashem is calling you it's not referring
to just a name
of kay it's referring to what's muslim
name of kate it's the efforts of hashem
which is higher than names because name
is a limiting
this is the shame of the kim which we
said that's connected mortal from to
brahmavino which is limited uk is much
more powerful and that's connected to
moisture bainu but yot kevak is also a
name so even though it's referring to
the infinite part of hashem it's still a
name however at smooth saying
the essence of hashem is much higher
much deeper than the name
so it knows when
the the energy that was drawn down to
moisture they know was deeper than even
you know k which is a name but it's the
essence of hashem
which is higher than any type of name
so that's where it's coming from so by
yikra what is referring to in reference
over here by moisture banana it's
referring to the essence of hashem not
only the ut kebab the essence of hashem
and this powerful vayikra the essence of
hashem where is it coming down it's
coming down literally into this physical
world with moisture when it was in this
world
and that's why it says like
this this calling from above a name the
essence of hashem down to this world
that's why the expression is called the
yikra an expression of calling
why the yikra she called the the the he
called moisture why does he use the
expression of of kriya
because korea
is an expression of
the person receiving it fully so it's
coming from the highest places the
essence of the infinite of hashem
but it's not just a connection with the
superficial it's a real connection that
moisture may know in this world receives
that smooth
the essence of hashem and like whoever
brings from the toy from the altar rebel
he brings the uh
translation of the targum
on on the verse and the prophets where
it says the chorus elsa they called one
another so the targum translate oh
coblin de medain they receive from one
another so when it says by yikra it's
unjust hashem called him and you know
there's no real there's no real
there's no real deep connection but the
targum translate the kara is referring
the covenant they received so this
powerful that smoothly
the essence the infinite part of hashem
is received by mushroom
and based on this job explains
beautifully this is the connection of
the small
olive
together with the big olive like we said
before what does that mean in other
words moisture bainu is down here in
this world he's a small we're a small
nobody we're a small nothing
but in there in moisture
in this world the small olive what gets
drawn in the huge aleph which is
referring to
at smu muhusa yes
so right now the rabbit so far answered
one important question and that is why
does it have a small olive and the
answer is it's referring to the small
moisture of anu
compared to the infinite god but
nevertheless in this small moisture of
anu
you get to draw in the big olive which
is referring to the essence of the
infinite part of hashem and it uses the
expression of a yikra because it's not
just a it's drawing in and there's
really no it's like it's too far it's
it's not necessarily connected but
macabre moisture abandon receives within
him
down into this world
now that takes it a step further and
he's like this so this terrible portion
of the each of my sheet called nice
remainder so this is a soda speak it's a
story about moisture right now no no
just like
it applies to moisture avenue the same
thing it applies to every single jew
every single jewish person past present
and future
this by yikra it means the
muslim who say the essence of the
infinite god that comes down into this
world in a way that we receive it
applies to everybody
based on what do we say their services
like explain many many places that
difference between the chamois we all
have understanding within us and angels
in other words because an angel like we
already mentioned before is a a mathias
nivera it's something that was created
and it has so to speak it's a dependent
existence it's a creation yeah it
listens to hashem but it's an
independent existence however in
reference to the summary souls who we
are in the shamans israel what does it
say in the verse it says
with children of hashem
and up to the point that galter explains
in tanya
that we each have a helicopter
so even though we're living in this
world it looks like we're in the
dependent existence but the fact is
we're children of hashem and we have
imam we have a part of god we're
connected to god
and ever since we every one of us have a
neshama we're the children of god we're
connected to god
we have a part of god within us
therefore we're able to receive from the
highest levels
every one of us not only mushroom and
that's why he doesn't say who's the one
calling
why is that who's calling because if it
said who was calling that's a finite
level even though it's youth buffalo
referring to the infinite part of hashem
but it's still a level it's still a name
so yikra means it's coming from we're
off the charts earth names
be beyond much higher
and that comes down into each and every
one of us not only to moisture
but there was one but it says
specifically
called moisture
but nevertheless
what is what what is what he continues
on to explain the exotic discourse
because we know torah is not
a finite terrorist
terror is everlasting
and
the turret doesn't only apply in the
past it only doesn't only apply to
moisture and it applies in the past the
present and the future nitrous means
it's everlasting it applies today it
does everything in the torah is not just
a story of the past an episode of the
past it happened to one person it's
something which applies in every single
that generation
and we know that moisture beneath is an
extension of moisture made in every
single generation every generation is
this representation of moisture renault
and the fact is it's brought down in
insiders clearly that moisture abner is
found within each and every single
jewish person he was called into shama
claus a general soul that means
everybody has a everyone is connected to
my sharingan why surrenders connect to
everybody that means that every single
jewish person
has a part of moisture reno and since we
all have a part of my survey i know
therefore it says by yikra and it
doesn't say who's calling which means
referring to the highest level of god
hiding any name which is atmospheric
muhusburg has found not only a moisture
banana but it's actually found in each
and every one of us ceramics to recap
there was expanding extending the idea
that we're saying it's coming from the
highest to the lowest which that was
referring to technically specifically to
moisture renew but drivers that applies
to each and every one of us we have
within us from the highest hired in any
name is found within each and every one
of us
and based on this explains that's why it
says adam beautiful explanation why it
says
that a a person that's going to become
close to hashem why
because
what is the person that's going to come
close it comes after the verse that we
just learned by yikarel moisha he called
maestromanu and we just learned what
doesn't mean it doesn't say who's
calling it means it's coming from the
highest place of of the infinite part of
hashem and others every single person
has within him the essence of
the absence of hashem
so therefore it says adam kiyakri mikkem
that a person will bring from from
amongst you so what does it mean adam
because other than we know
based on what says in the prophets it
comes from an expression of
i'm compared to on high
in other words so adam why does it say
adam
because what do we just say by yikra the
infinite part of hashem cold moisture
remaining an extension called every one
of us so therefore it uses the
expression of adam because other means
is compared to on high and because we
have the infinite part within us
therefore compared to on high and like
derby rings we all know that for example
humans have this four different titles
what's the four titles
this adam
this is
four different titles for human beings
and adam is the highest title
why why is it the highest title because
it represents the highest
part that we have what does it mean the
highest part that we have we don't know
we have we have five levels in the
summer nephesh which means the lowest
more physical
ruach the second level means more more
godly
at the highest level so when you say
adam what is referring to is referring
to the highest level in the summer so
that's why it says since we're talking
about
the yikra the infinite part of hashem
is calling within every one of us so
which part of it also is a calling it's
calling to the highest part within us
the part that we're connected to the
infinite and that's why it says adam
other than referring to adam allen often
referring to the highest part in the
adam and the adam east governor and
announced which is referring to the
level of
and that's what uses the expression of
adam
and that's why they're explains how
beautifully that why does it say adam
kiyokov we are one of the questions
we've asked before is hakama starts off
singular and the answer is the reason
why it starts with singular
because
adam is referring to what the
the oneness within us the oneness in
each and every one of us and that's why
it uses the expression in a singular
firm
which is why because that's the level of
yeshida which is the level of
higher than all the names
just like when it says by yikra doesn't
say who's calling because it's coming
from the act smoothly the essence of
hashem
and
he's calling to which part of us he's
calling the other part he's calling the
akita part not the part that we're
different and we than one another
but the fact that we're one and that's
why it says adam kiyoko and there's the
other referring to the and that's why
it's in the singular that the person is
bringing himself the essence of himself
not the
distracting part of the self the
multiple part of themselves but the
essence of himself to hashem
so it starts off in other kia crypts the
first thing you bring is you bring the
yakida
you know hashem calls you
that you connect the one is connects to
hashem but afterwards you have to
remember we live in this physical world
so we the yukido is easy to connect to
hashem so that's the easy part adam
keography starts off with the easier
part with the oneness part of hashem but
then we go over to the lower level
what's the lower level because we know
that the shot would mean lower because
to be clear high and low doesn't mean
physically this is not necessarily
higher than this high and low means more
godly and lower means more physical less
godly so we know that the summer was in
a high place between you was connected
to the infinite part of hashem and it
came down to this world which is called
biramikta very very low place means
godliness is not so revealed and like
whatever brings the verse where it says
like we say in the prayers and asham
that is referring to the part of god
that you gave me to hirohi the highest
level where it's pure and then it goes
it goes down to the world
brio then it goes down to the world
attitude to the world
until it comes down to this physical
world and then it comes down literally
the soul comes into our body
and now he comes to the body then has to
deal with the animal soul
so
what's the what's what happened so again
so the soul started off
together with hashem it goes down from
matsilla's breed
goes down into the body and then his
body is the animal soul
but the point of the so the sharma
coming down to this world is not
um to get lost into the world to elevate
the world elevate the physical world
elevate the body and elevate the animal
soul so that the job of the sham in this
world is to to refine and transform the
body and to transform the animal soul
so what happens after we start doing our
avoider that's why it says you have to
bring a sacrifice from what men are
behemoth or menacing for all the
different types of animals you have to
bring carbon plural why plural because
in
them kayaking it's referring to the
highest part of the soul the highest
part of soul where it's not involved and
connected to the body it stays aloof but
now we're talking about the next level
when the when the soul comes into the
body it has to come from the animal soul
and that's why it says crevu you have to
bring in the plural in plural why why
plural because it's referring to the
working with the body and working with
the animal soul and obviously there's
different levels in the animal souls
level of the bucker and the sign and the
the uh the bird and the uh the carbon
mineral like it's explained in many many
places and so there's all the different
levels of elevation that we have to do
with our animal soul again just to recap
is explaining us why the beginning of
the verse says adam kayak or singular is
referring to the student the shama which
part the highest part the
parts that's singular that's not
involved in the materialistic world but
then he's referring to um you bring it
plurals referring to the way that the
summer comes into the body and actually
all the animals all those different
levels of the animal soul
now never goes on to explain something
beautiful in each other's follows
in the torah from the alpha rebel so the
explanation
of these two verses where the first
verse where shaman is calling from from
the infinite part of hashem to moisture
and to elevating um into this physical
world and the second verse of adam
kiyoko and kem where it's referring to
the highest level of soul and then the
way it goes on the soul comes down you
have to elevate the world so it's
actually two different classic
discourses one consider that this course
explains the first verse and the second
discord explains the second verse but if
you give a look to episodes in the the
after the alter the middle of the rubber
and the same thing also with the tsum
tsa deck and
so these two ideas
that are by the ultimate two different
discourses become actually they're part
of one casino discourse in other words
in the beginning there are two different
verses two different discourse but
afterwards they explained it all part of
one catholic discourse what's the reason
for that andrew explains very simple he
sounds like this
in the beginning
what does the october explain he's
explaining two different ideas you have
first the idea that there's a tremendous
revelation from on high by yikra it
doesn't say who's calling
and then
it's coming down to this world but then
there's a lower level of an avodah
what's the lower level
level level of the work that now we have
to deal with with the godly soul adam
kiyoko make him and you have to work
with the animal soul et cetera now so
again just to recap never saying like
this
by yikra the first verse is a very very
high level the essence of hashem is
calling moisture
it's pure it's holy
the second verse other than kayaker
already now you're dealing with the
godly soul it comes into the world and
you know yes it's the highest level of
either but then you deal with the
creepers combine the way the soul comes
and steal the body has to deal with the
animal soul so it's two different things
one is godly and one is already dealing
with the world that's what the altered
splits it however afterwards they're
they're put into what what one one
quesadilla discourse why
because
the the avoider our spiritual work in
this world
by el nino to elevate the godly soul
and to elevate the body and to elevate
the animal soul
where do we have the power to do it
where do we have the energy to elevate
the body and the and the animal soul we
get the energy to elevate it from the
very moisture because the infinite part
of
the essence of hashem is
calling us therefore we have the power
to and the energy to elevate the world
and
and when you elevate the world you
actually get out of light even higher
so in other words because we have the
gift of a equal moisture therefore we're
able to work with our godly soul with
our animal soul
and up to the point that we actually
unify the two that the animals
get to the same page as the godly soul
and when you unify then you create the
real ah that's the queer unity like like
it says the verse says oh he says
that you make peace on high what does it
mean you make peace on high so never
explains a powerful insight what does it
mean make peace and high that when you
elevate
the body and then you elevate the the
the animal soul
and you elevate it to miroimov isis
if you elevate the body and the animal
soul to a higher level
so that's how you make peace in other
words like this the godly souls into
godly stuff the animal soul into
animalistic stuff how are you going to
make peace
and the answer is very simple when you
educate the animal soul that there's a
higher reality when you educate the body
there's a high reality so by being
removed you elevate it that's how you
create peace
so
from this river explain something very
very powerful he says like this
that in every single jewish person has
the powerful flow of energy from vayikra
al-muisha
from
which means hashem
beyond names the essence of hashem is
calling each other every one of us
and because hashem gives us that huge
gift
that allows us to affect
and use our godly soul to elevate our
body and elevate the animal soul that we
have within us
it never goes on to say even deeper and
he says like this
that's why moisture abner in the toy
where he says
six hundred thousand people
that uh ashara know you be care about
that i'm amongst them what does that
mean what does he mean when he's saying
that he that he's amongst them and
they're useless to point to prove the
point that i know you keep a cure by i
am amongst them which means that
moisture banana was in with the illusion
of animals so the difference is like
yikra
the estimate of hashem is calling
moisture right now mushroom says himself
as a testament in
in other words so never explains
powerfully no since moisture remains
within us
that allows us and that helps us to do
our spiritual work moisture bananas
within each and every one of us and
because moisture is within us therefore
we have the vacuum and therefore we have
the power to use our godly soul to
elevate this physical world
so from here we see derby says
beautifully that the power that's given
to every single one of us
from the revelation that moishrabenu had
which is in him we also have which what
revelation is its revelation of
the essence of hashem
and it doesn't say who's calling hashem
that's the essence of hashem it's beyond
any any name and that gives us the power
to do our spiritual work in this world
and rubber says specifically
that um
and
especially implies on shabbat where we
read this third portion of
the moisture and specifically in shabbos
um itself
generally is connected to moisturize why
because it's brought down in in the in
the holy books that are resolved um
based on the on the on the expression
that we say in the prayers
happy with the gift that he was given in
other words what does that mean that
there's a
added um joy and a specific added joy
that we have by moisturizing on shabbos
so besides the fact that everything's in
this chalice that we're that we're
reading um the torah portion of my
ecommerce show but we also know
mushrooms connecting the shabbos
and
in when represented this course we said
it was in the month of nisan so it's
specifically when we're in the month of
nisan and we know that nissan is
connected to moisture being the month of
nissan's characteristic why because what
does nissan mean nissa means the name of
the month but denisen also means a
double expression of miracles
but whether you read from the from the
front right to left left to right it's
nasty you read backwards also ness so
it's a double it's a double miracle and
that's also a moisture vein emotional
brain is all about miracles like the
other brings in the meadows the metro
says
that moisture
is the miracle of the jewish people
and hashem is the miracle of myself
and like we know the verse in the torah
says clearly
hashem nisi he called the place hashem
my miracle in other words hashem
goes ahead gives us all all the all the
blessings that he gives us that's
obviously a miracle from hashem and now
only says that we know clearly it's very
simple that in the month of nisan that's
when we had the redemption from egypt
we're going to have egypt who took us
out of egypt mushroom so you see clearly
that in the month of nisan has connected
to moisture bainu who took us out of
egypt
now
so this is connected to moisture renault
but drip says this idea of miracles
doesn't only apply to myself
it applies to every one of us like the
medra says clearly that when hashem
chose to create the world so he when he
created the world he created time what i
mean times you have you have years and
you have months etcetera that's general
creation of the world but what happened
when hashem chose the jewish people
when when did he choose us in the month
of nisan when he took us out of egypt so
he established then the calendar but we
had already had the calendar so there's
two calendars the calendar of creation
there's the years and the months but
then there's the calendar of miracles so
the first month that hashem established
when we went out of egypt that month of
miracles it's the month of redemption
and like it says clearly in the torah
this month will be to you what does it
mean this month is going to be to you a
month of redemption a month of miracles
so you see clearly that the the the the
novel idea uh and the kiddish of the
month of nisan because the month of
nisan is a month of redemption
and the month of redemption wasn't much
better it was the mushroom
was the was the
help take us out of egypt we all left
egypt so redemption applies to all of us
miracles apply to all all of us to
yaakov even all his children
and
it applies to everyone until today
and up to the point hashem shows us
and we know that hashem chose us is much
the choosing the jewish people in the
month of nisan is much greater than
choosing creating the world
and represents
possibly you can even say that we know
that
explains in tanya
that
when hashem chose us he didn't
he didn't chose us from our godly soul
because the godly soul they have to
choose that's godly but hashem chose our
body versus the body sort of become a
non-jew why because technically they're
the same but he for some reason he chose
the body but representative choosing for
us for to give us the month of miracles
the mouth of ghoul is even a higher
level of choosing and there was just
like
in the month of nissan we were redeemed
we were taken out of egypt the same
thing also
god willing in the uh
we're going to go on we're going to go
out of this exile in the month of nisan
which um
which this has to do with the the
quality of jewish people why because the
fact is that the ultimate redemption
applies to every single jew
everyone is going to go out of egypt no
one's going to remain in exile and like
it's brought there many many places that
in egypt and some people unfortunately
didn't go out however when it comes to
with the ultimate redemption everyone's
going to go out everyone's going to go
our gullos and robert says he says that
we should be the will of hashem that
should happen to us that with our
children
with our adult with with the elders
with the with the with the boys and the
girls the men and the women were all
going to merit very very soon the the
redemption the true redemption the
complete redemption literally in this
month of nisan why because the fact is
we went out of egypt in the month of
nisan when we went out we went out of
misrayam and we're going to go out of
this also in the month of nisan and it's
something which is for short ribbon says
we're not going to push it off to the
next nissan it's going to be destiny's
son and not only that but when in the
month nissan when it's going to happen
it's going to happen right away he's not
going to even hold back even a split
second that literally dur
in the day and in the month there's many
many there's many many seconds of the
day excited about but someone's not
going to hold back even for a second and
right in reference to any time what's
going to happen it's going to happen
lloyd when i feel like
it's not going to hold back even for
like the blink of an eye he's going to
take up
gullis and it's going to happen
literally
and their expression of useless
literally in reality down here
and it's going to happen the redemption
is going to happen between
with tremendous joy with
and gladness of heart
so obviously it's a very very very
powerful and inspiring acidic disc
because besides all the powerful hasidic
teachings over here what the rep is
teaching us and inspiring us and giving
us
tremendous
energy is that we every one of us have
the greatest revelation of god and by
having the greatest revelation of god
we'll have the power and the strength to
take ourselves out of gullus with the
help of hashem and god's willing our
next class will be in your shalayam
iraqi dish have a great and blessed week
