Go to the Land I will show you ISRAEL לך לך גו׳ אל הארץ אשר אראך Kabbalah Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on to this we're going to be learning this week a beautiful discourse in the river the name of the acrylic discourse is called The Rebel said this Hasidic discourse under on the night of Tuesday which that year was the seventh day of March 1 in the year tuftsin member of 38 years ago so again the Civic discourse is based on the on the verse in this week's total portion where it says but it's the same letters twice from your land was brought down and explained in different Hasidic discourses and at length in the classic Civic discourse in the the rabbit that someone said the third in his word called and in Toyota of the mythology and it's also mentioned in the uh works of the Alta River Toyota of the alter River and they explained over there as follows so there's two insights one is like the Zora says that we're referring to a a a a traveling going from high down to low another Insight which is also hinted in the Zohar as a traveling is From Below going on high high below and then coming down from Below on high in other words what does that mean because generally speaking when there's a halika when someone is traveling when someone is going and even though in general what does it mean you're traveling you're not traveling in one spot you're going from one level to the next level you're standing and there's traveling traveling is moving forward and up to the point when you travel you're traveling but you can't even compare where you started from in other words you don't just go from one place to the next place to be at the same level the goal is to go to another level a whole different level but nevertheless even when you travel and you're traveling from one level to the next next level it's possible you can be going two ways in other words either you can be going from on high you're going down low or you're going from down low you're going on high and there's this totals who opposites in both cases you're traveling yes in both cases you're accomplishing an opposed closer it's next level but the question is which way are you going are you going up are you going down now since the verse says and doesn't spell out which way is going so therefore you must say that because it doesn't spell it out it means both and as it means both going from a high down below and Below going on high and you could say that this is the source of the insights of the different chabadra bayam that they say that Allah has two the two insides because since it says lack and doesn't say which way so obviously what it could be both ways and it is both ways and Andre was going to explain it more in detail than something just later on in the Torah portion he talks about two different types of travelings of ramaphina zoos one is we traveled Mata he went from an high down below which is called in in simple in Hebrew it's called the urida as a downgrade and that is traveling from below and high which is called an alien upgrade now in the total which speaks on traveling from a high below or below and high it's two different verses and therefore because it's different verses it's two different Journeys there's one Journey going down from a high below and the other one's from below and high in other words first the Torah tells us how Abraham went down to live there in other words he went down um to the lowest levels what does that mean to the lowest levels he started out where in the land of Israel which we know Israel is the highest land physically and spiritually and the country more importantly on a spiritual level and because on a spiritual level Israel so high that's why physically he's so high and he went down weird to the land of Egypt to to to to the depth of the earth and it knows not only the but the the the the the the the the lowest spiritual part of the earth the lowest place so that is referring to Abraham going from the highest Place Israel on a physical level on a spiritual level down below to the land of Egypt on a on a physical and spiritual low level afterwards that's one set of verses afterwards in different verses it speaks like Abraham traveled he went from the lowest place to the highest place like it says afterwards trying the verse says clearly by y'all he had an Aliyah he went up from Egypt in other words he he went up from the lowest place of the earth of Egypt and he went to the Heritage according to the Holy Land of Israel which we said is higher than all the lands physically and spiritually and the verse also tells us that the elevation that he had after the downgrade in other words and because we know the whole purpose of going down is for an elevation and like it says when he left Egypt what is a the avraham and Abraham was covered he was very very heavy but Mick tonight he had a lot of cattle a lot of ketchup a lot of silver or a lot of gold and others was a tremendous upgrade to avramovino which he didn't have before and like it says clearly in the verses and especially with all the commentaries Etc now so again so you have two different parts of this week's teleportion one is referring to Abram going down physically and spiritually from Israel to the land of Egypt and then going up elevating Egypt and coming back to the land of Israel but that's two different verses so two different parts of the story but the Revolutionary idea in this opening verse the first verse in the Torah in this week's Torah portion and which is basically the theme of the Torah portion it means you have both you have both Journeys from high down below and Below going on high and there's one Journey has both components and opposite components besides the fact we're talking about two different Journeys but literally in the same Journey you know either you're going from high down below are you going Below on high like we have the two stories of Aram here we're saying in one Journey you have both components so the question is what how does that happen how do you have both in one so I was going to explain now the the the the the the first is going to start off with a journey going Milo lamata going from high down below of this verse where it says so whoever explains like this and he says as follows it's known that of Roma Vino has before his name was changed to avraham so it was avram which was made up of four letters aleph vase race mem which actually comes in two words what are the two words which literally translates as father in the world of Kabbalah you know our father referring to hakma ram a very high level Ram comes from very high which means he was so an intellectual level so high so deep it's beyond any human comprehension in other words Abraham's Soul was a very high soul of ram his was very very high and like it says in the in the classical book of Safe Harbor here that the attribute of hasent told Hashem the actual kindness told Hashem from when Abraham was in the earth I don't have to do my work anymore because Abraham is doing kindness off the charts so you see that Abraham a very very high Soul both an AV both in Crescent and obviously his source of assaults very very high you know like the expression is now let me call Ryan it's off the charts like like it's explaining the lens and Kabbalah this high level now from this high level that Abraham was he didn't just stay there he actually brought down his soul down into this world and that's why it says the place you were born in your father's house to the land that I'm going to show you and we know the famous teachings on this verse it says one second let's look at the verse what does it say it starts off leaving your land then your birthplace and then your parents home so seemingly it's just the opposite first you leave base your parents home then you leave the place you were born and then you leave the land so why is the total using an opposite expression of what happens and it's explained that when we say land is the physical land but then there's a spiritual land coming from the word of rot sign it comes from the will so first you have to leave your will emotions come from the intellect as we know that the intellect is the father and the mother average give birth to cure the emotions and from your father's homes referring to a lower level let's explain elsewhere so there's all these different levels now so again so article is referring to your will has a lower level where are you going to you're leaving you're going to the land which is even lower what is that referring to in this video is it's referring to malachas so notice you're journeying from the highest levels a lower level into malchus and as you leave rotting which is the highest level um where we have the way it exists on the on in the in in our world which obviously compared to the way it's Shanghai and um as we know that the road sign is the highest of all our powers that we have and we own the spirit what's the highest fear count there in case the highest power we have and then you go down to the level of understanding which is lower than lower than will and it means you understand you understand the will and then you go down even lower to the level of emotions and then you come down to the lowest level so that's the spiritual journey of why it says into the uh intellect to the emotions even lower into malcolors now the same thing applied to Aroma Vino that his soul went down from the highest levels and it was in the where is a ramavino's soul from it comes from the raw China alien the will of Hashem and that level was revealed in a soul and it came down to my love which we said is the emotions until the Canadians and to the lowest levels went down from the highest levels downtown lowest levels now just like it's by avromovino which he was the first Jew the same thing applies to each and every one of us that we when we we came down to this world we left from the highest levels we came down to this low place and that's when Hashem says I'm going to take you to the land I'm going to show you that specifically when we went down this whole journey from the highest levels down into this level into this world Hashem says I want to show you the power of the Soul I'm going to show you I'm going to reveal that you have the power that even though you're in a low place and you came down from the highest Place their soul has the power to overcome it all now so the first local calls referring to again the lack is going down from the highest level the way our souls are in rutsawing through intellects and emotions but nevertheless we have the power to overcome it the second inside of the verse is it's like like literally like the verse says avramovino was on the lowest light the lowest place you know he went he went out from Quran he was going from harun um to the land of Israel and we know is referring to the lowest possible place like Rashi says that when it says uh you know with a final known it's referring to the Wrath the Wrath of the world so it's from the from the from the uh intensity of the materialistic uh Angry and and and physical uh world and from here Abraham went from the lowest places until he went to the place in Hashem showed him so that is on a physical level Waters have to do on a spiritual level there are vomovino avoided work to take the Hawaiian take the physical Wrath of the world and to elevate it to the highest level now and and and what and this applies to us in our spiritual Services walk us first you have to leave your land in other words we're going from from the lowest level to the highest level you have to leave me so what is what we learn before on the positive it's the higher will but then you have the will that we have but we have these Wills that are not appropriate we have Wills Wills for things that we shouldn't be doing so so what do we have to do when you have it you want to do something so you bait and you and you want to do it strongly so the first level is to sort of speak force yourself like like the Altima says specifically in Tanya where it says that all the revelations of what's going to happen with Shia comes is dependent on and I'll say that he will translate it maseno our actions about what you're saying on our work because every time we force ourselves to do the right thing to go against the negative will we are actually creating powerful energy which we're going to get revealed so first we have to do my senu our work and if we know who says in the Tamil that sometimes you force people to give charity they don't want to give it but why do you force them because sometimes we need to be forced to do the right thing now so when we force ourselves why do we force ourselves because the fact is we have sometimes our Yates Sahara our evil and collation that's very very strong which is which is it rooted in the assalam in in the physical Wrath of the world uh and and up to the point the person said I don't want to do the will of Hashem so what happens when you don't want to do the will you don't want here's the key word you don't want to do the Wilson you have to force yourself and say no right Sonny I want to do the will of us realm so it's basically the first level is a battle of the wills the animal Soul the evil in collation doesn't want to do Allah and then you say the first things no I do want to do the will of Hashem and after you do the first level you leave you leave the will and once you leave that you basically are wanting to do the will of self against the will of the animal soul you have to go to go to the next level you have to go out of your your habits in other words things that you do habitually a lot of things that we do like just by roads and um you know if you're doing it because because it's natural you know things that you're doing from a natural perspective but to be to to do it more because you want to do it so the first level is you have to want to do it it was a if you don't want to do you have to want to do it and B if you're doing your own you should Inspire yourself that you really want to do it and afterwards you go to the next level and you have to leave um the intellect And the emotions you know that don't want to do things that you want to do then you want to do it uh when there's when the insulin doesn't want to do it and the emotions I want you then you go ahead and do it and then you read certain place the land that someone's going to show you the true land you know what is our true true will and like it says why is it called um why is the average is wrong called urges for all because it's constantly the word Toronto does want you the will of Hashem not only that but that you want to do the will of Sam but Eric's constant the word of Richa which means you're running to do it so you know as you do it you not only do you want to do it you force yourself to do it but you do it you do it with alacrity you do it right away now these two components the will to do someone's and to do it quickly and what joy and happiness we find these two components made from afino why because we see that Verma Vino did things very very quickly as it says clearly and talk about early in the morning and he harnesses donkey do the midst of Hashem which means he was able to break all the Browns anything that was holding them back um from doing it I'll do it later no he's doing it right now because the fact is that it's not appropriate to everyone himself to go ahead and harness his donkey but nevertheless if he has to go with the first time he doesn't and the same thing also when to do it in a complete way we find about vermovino like the Rama writes clearly in the laws of truva in the 10th chapter that the of the spiritual work of every single Jew has to be done in the way of what love you have to love Hashem and that is what we learned from abramovino there are some called him that he's my lover and he served herself from love like in the says in the prophets what he did was they took the the where the Yates didn't want he did it but not only did he do it but he did it with with quickly and he did with joy on with love now this is but guess what once did it that became our inheritance and became part of our DNA in other words even though sometimes we do things not necessarily for the right reasons unless we do it because we want a reward for doing the vegetables and we want to have the world to come which is okay but the that's the way to start but ultimately the the goal is to be like avramovino we're serving Hashem not because of the rewards not because of the world to come we're serving Hashem because we love Hashem our goal is that we should want to have a relationship because we love Hashem and that's what that's the meaning of that we we're we're going to the land that Hashem is going to show us and as we go from one level to the next level up to the point that we first we're starting out we're fighting our will and then we're going ahead and trying to just go against our intellect and emotions that don't want us to do it but the ultimate goal is to go to go to the land that Hashem is going to show us which means we're going to do things from a place of love now we explained before that these two insights of Allah which means going from the transforming the world and bringing down godliness in the world is in the same verse the same two words in other words so obviously it's not a contradiction even though it's opposites even though it's opposites one is basically we're drawing on godliness world the other ones were fighting and transforming the world it's not even though it is opposites but it's not a contraception why because in one verse and according to the explanation the way it's explained in Turkish and as we know the Torah was given with all the commentaries so obviously it has a connection and becomes part of the life of Torah which gives which helps us in leading our life that we live in so how do we do it we have two different opposites another explains like this and he says as follows because what happens is when something says so in the Toro even if it's opposites it becomes one so you have right left button turn puts it together right and left become one millimata is one of you know bringing down garments is one one type of serving Assam is another way of serving Hashem with an attorney puts it in one verse it becomes one and let me give us an example like we see where it says when God gave the Torah so the Ten Commandments says I am God your God and then so you shouldn't have any other gods and it says those two Commandments were said in one one utterance now the Commandments on the Ten Commandments what is that including all the positive Commandments as we know that is a positive Commandments the Commandment of Allah is includes all the negative Commandments but nevertheless even though the two opposites they were set as one and like like and that's why he says in kazal that God gave us 6313 Commandments how do we know he gave us 613 Commandments because it says instructors now Torah was spelled out soft the numerical value is how much 611. we're lacking two we need two more is a 611 is the positive commandment is a negative and those two we heard from Hashem Commandments we hear directly from gods and the other 611 moisture being a Taurus that's what we have 630. so you see clearly that from the Torah perspective the 611 motion reader told us then when you have two more specifically divides it it's two different Commandments because you need to have 613 because there are 248 a positive Commandments 365 negative and we know you can't add or take off but nevertheless even though it's two separate Commandments it was seven one and like the Rahman writes that clearly the first Mitzvah is to know God and based on based on the commandment and the first negative precept is is not to have any other guards but so even though it's two separate Mitzvahs it's listed as two supplementarys but what does it saying together because when when something is in the toilet two opposites can become one so the same thing also knows the same thing also applies when the two types of Journeys you know the journey from going down bringing godliness down into this world and elevating the world which is com which is similar to the positive Commandments and the negative Commandments because what's the negative Commandments going away from Evil like staying away from anything negative which basically means transforming the world on the other hand the positive Commandments is doing good which is basically bringing down godliness into the world so we the fact that Terror puts it in one verse you can have two opposites and one thing and that's the power of attorney can take two opposites and unite them and the same thing also applies to every single every single every person's spiritual service in this world as we know that we are one nation in the world like the Altima explains that what's you know it says we're one nation in the world what does that mean so I'll sort of explains beautifully he says what does it mean that we are we draw in the actors Oneness even into the materialistic world when you see a physical you don't see godliness but our job is to bring godliness in there and those not only do we get affected from the physical world and the contrary we bring in unity of Hashem into the materialistic physical world in this world we're solo and therefore what's our avoida our avoid is to unify not only the physical world but to unifying the avoidance of another says he'd like to connect this with the idea of the seventh day of hegeman which what's The Seventh-Day that's the day but the Jewish people finish the the Journey of going to to Israel for the festival and now it starts the the process of after the festival so it was up until Zion is part of our journey to and from Jerusalem and after it's going back home in other words so that's the day that connects the two what does that mean it was like when we went up to Erica straw when we did a Leo lorego we went to Jerusalem we went to the temple what is that we went to see godliness revealed like it says clearly in Torah called everyone is going to see godliness and like it says just like you came to see you're going to be seen and the kingdom he came to be seen you were seen in other words that the the vision and the will of every single person was the will of Hashem it wasn't just a physical thing Iran means that the the the the will our will our scene is the will of Hashem applies to us now so that is the time of religion regular before the Zion Kushner what happens when we we finish all the other ago um it's just the opposite in other words it's not anymore the time that we we we're wearing and then watch our job to deal with the physical world darkness of the world so it's two different worlds before it's Vision closeness to God the will of Hashem is real or or very very clear and afterwards we're dealing with struggles and challenges after Zion customer now that's in time the same thing applies to space as well because where were we in when we went up to Israel we went to Jerusalem afterwards we outside Jerusalem what's the difference between Jerusalem the base Amigos and the whole world in Jerusalem and the Mason industry no it's literally a place of holiness and compared to Jerusalem and the temple the whole world is is weekday it's it's not holy and not only in the holy of holies and in the temple but the whole Jerusalem is a holy place and as we know one of the reasons that the Jerusalem was not divided amongst the tribe because Jerusalem is a place dedicated for the best of McDonald's and the betterment gosh is a public place where you bring public sacrifices and matter of fact the main service of the base of exhaust is by bringing the sacrifices every single day which is a community sacrifice and since Jerusalem is a place in the basement it wasn't the body amongst the tribes and that's on a physical level and the same thing on a spiritual level just like the base Amigos what was his impact what was the net result the Baseline that's a compass Unity amongst all the Jewish people and therefore the accomplish it also in Jerusalem because Jerusalem comes from it says in in the verse it unifies everything it unifies the city it unifies the Jewish people that we should be a vessel for migdas hands are dwelling there which is basically it's a place where Hashem could dwell so in other words Jerusalem space wise Jerusalem in the basement is one thing oh holy however outside Jerusalem is weekday compared to Jerusalem so thou will understand why the day of the seventh of hashbrown which is the day which is the dividing line between going up to to uh Aliyah Regal going up to Jerusalem and the time after going up to Jerusalem and between the Jerusalem and the holy Place basically and the whole worlds because purposes to you know to connect the two of the before going up to Israel and leaving and Jerusalem in the whole world that these ideas should be fulfilled in a real tangible way in our actions in our work to bring in unity of Hashem into this physical world and since every one of us our souls come from the three Patriarchs the first one he knows of ramadino and we know he was one and the same thing also from sorry man you know every one of us are called we are connected to avram and Sarah and we know of Roman star were the first ones and it's and it's underscored specifically in reference to all the Converse that Abraham converted and sorrow converted all the comments as well and like it's brought down in the in the different uh the Joshua in the Torah and khazal and Kabbalah so what should happen is it should be fulfilled for every one of us we should go bring down the garlic into the world and transform the world and we should go to the land that God is going to show us just like by Roma Vino that every one every one of the Jewish people including everybody together we should go in literally in one second in one moment to the land that God is going to show us into areas and we should go and tell you with happiness and with gladness of heart so here we have another beautiful powerful Civic discourse of our pastors bringing godliness to the world elevating the world that we can obviously do the we can do both because the Torah gives us the power as it's written in there and ultimate representatives were all merit with a world will be transformed and will have mashiach and Muhammad and God's willing our next class will be you know have a great and blessed week
