Great Love Fuels our Efforts. 3 Levels of Shabbas. A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on to this we're going to be learning this week a beautiful discourse in the rebbe the name of the civic discourse is called alep kudai the rebels said this acidic discourse in shabbos pashas could in the second day of the second adar in the year tough shin 57 years ago so that begins acidic discourse and he says alep could they based on the verse in this week's torah portion it says this is the counting that they counted of in terms of the the gifts to the to the mishkan and that's the beginning of the uh of the of the hasidic discourse which finishes off the book of shaman so just to clarify it as follows the alta river the first kabad rubber has many many discourse on the torah portion the book of braces and schmoyes is in the first book of terror and the book of the cote toro has vayikra by midbar and varun but nevertheless even though pasha picoday is technically in shmoi so it should have been in terror but this discourse is actually in the cote toyo in the beginning so the rabbit says generally speaking there's a difference between one book and the next between for example schmoys and vayikra and just like we find in the torah itself that between every single one of the books of the five books of moses there's there's a intermission of four lines not more not less like the random writes clearly and it's brought down many places that again there's a clear distinction between each one of the of the five books of moses and that's actually one the proof says and that's how we know there's a difference between one book and the next book because you see literally in a physical uh way and a revealed way and matter of fact it's it has to be done that way otherwise it could be a whole question about the same torah where there's actually a gap of four lines between each of the books so in other words so we're dealing with partisan coding which belongs to the previous book and vayikra readies the next one so the rabbit says one second what are we saying that there's a distinction between each one of the books but the fact is says and he says it's not a contradiction to what the previous verb says in reference to the book of terror erd the first book of the i'm going to quit the torah he says it's all really one book one means one book it's all it's all the torah portion it's all from the altar about so the reason i said this one book here we're saying what is it there's not one book he said it's not a contradiction you have both components on one hand postures we could days process part of and now we have a break before we go into my yikra on the other hand it's all one book why because that was the same thing we find in the torah because the fact is it's brought down it says that the first letter of the torah what's the first letter the first word is veracious so the first letter is a braise base and the last letter in the torah is calling so it's a lament so you take the first letter of abrasions you have a base and you take the last letter so it's alamed so together it makes the makes it takes makes the word backwards of laive heart and as it's brought down it's actually one that the whole term is one big word what does that mean because what's the lay the lathe is like is the heart which becomes one word which is one which made it which is made up of the two letters so on one hand you have the torah with so many letters and so many words and so many verses and so many um different uh sections cetera but nevertheless it's really all united by the llama and the vase that makes it one and makes it one big heart and like the other brings from the uh from the summit and it's classical uh civic teaching on the parasite called turkish crime and possession that specifically he says from the division of all the levels of establish when the way the flow of energy goes down from one world to the next so there's different levels that silas breed syria sia and each world's different there's different levels that specifically from the division that's how you have the unity up until to the highest level that could have the kurdish and even higher than that so saying is as follows i mean it's saying it as follows that uh sorry the mickeler was saying as follows that specifically from the division that's how you have the unity so specifically from the fact that it's a different book and that's how you have that it's really all one torah so the same thing all syrup says that also applies to the book of terror which i'm based on and the coutta terry which is midvarim so even though it's technically two different books but it's really one book why it gets unified because it's two it gets unified to be one and specifically in each one of the of the books there's many many there's many separations between various and schmalize the five books and each each torah portion is a separation and in each torah portion you have different stops that you oppose by and different commentaries and even in the commentaries itself there's different paragraphs and different explanations etc and even like justice for example in the in the one we're talking about right now in particular you see there's different chapters to it and there's a there's different um paragraphs and in each paragraph there's different sentences sentences and there's different ideas etc but so even though there's so many different differences but it does not it's not a conflict to say that it's really all one thing why is that because based on what the the mithler says that when you meditate on the differences of the different levels of establishments what are you going to come to the realization that's really all part of one point up until the point of literally the oneness the simplicity of the of the of the unity of hashem until the ultimate act of substructure because we know in the level of acta it's really all one there's no differences it's all hashem everything in this world everything that you see it's really all hashem there's nothing that's not hashem so there's bringing out he's saying it as follows that even though there's different torah portions and there's different verses and there's different commentaries which is true but nevertheless ultimately this whole one so based on australia says that when you have the end of the torah is connected to the beginning in other words as we know clearly that um when uh when when on on simca's turn we finished reading the five books of moses what what's the custom when there's a special um uh uh when you call it the person the last aliyah the special way you call them there's two translations mascara comes from like right away tekketh right away right away what means right as soon as you finish right away you begin again and also from strength and notice right away we take strength and as soon as we finish we start from the beginning again so you know the same thing also when we finish schmoyes right away we finished bakudai what are we getting ready we're getting 35 yikras even though right now we're finishing practice because and there's an intermission between pakuden in vedic but we but on one hand there is a separation but in other words specifically from the separation we start right away at the beginning we start right away by ikra not only that we we connect to verico we also connect at the beginning of the book just like when we do sim card storage we finish practice baraka what do we do why do we start reading braces right we go to the beginning so so based on this rubber explains now we'll understand something very interesting because in the book of the torah so we have practice pikudei which is technically seemingly out of place but there was explaining that's not out of place i wanted to show you that you really even though it's possibly it belongs to the previous book of schmoyes but it's put into the ashley to show you that even though it's separate but then unless it's connected by ukra and now we'll also understand why besides practice be could they what you have in the tutorial you also have some acidic discourses from the altered and parches basalach which is the beginning almost the beginning of partial schmoys and we put it in after practice recording and therefore says one second you'll say maybe it's a mistake they forgot to put it in before and they put it in later says no it's not true because the fact is after they originally published the torah it was published again many many times and by the auspices of the of the chabad rebellion and if they if they thought it was a mistake the obviously they would they would have fixed it um and they should have obviously remember the fact that they didn't fix it so it's a proof that it belongs there so not only is partially could he belong there you know it's because it's separate but it's showing us it's connected but also partially belongs there about hashem giving us shabbos um and it's to teach us that when you finish practicing could they together with pasha it's not an addition god forbid it's actually there's a reason to show the connection so now the europa is going to explain to us the connection between uh and pasha's vayikra and also the idea of prasad shalakh why it's together with pashmi kudai in the book of the terror and everybody explains as follows he says if you give a look in the hasidic discourse of aleppo day which is again technically is part of shmoys but it's printed in the book of the torah of the al-taraba which is which is technically by yika ramin bharanvaram so he says what is he what is what's the teaching of the altar and what does that encourage teaching us from passion and he finishes off a profound teaching he says like this we know that who was the one that served in the mishkan the one that served in the mystical is iron aquain aaron the high priest what is aaron what does he represent spiritually i represents the idea of ahava there's love and there's different levels of love so i represents huge amount of love overflowing of love an abundance of love and because you have avaraba a tremendous owing overflowing of love that i represents from there we have the strength of and i'll say hebrew and i'll translate the israel which means to do our work we have to do our physical work in the world our spiritual in the work we have to do our part where we get the strength and do our part we get our strength to do our part from our naked eye represents avara but when you have tremendous love that's to give the strength to do it we all know life is sometimes not easy something is challenging but when you have an over abundance of love you can you can do it all because avaraba has the power to create a sustata so this is what it speaks about at the end of partially could they it which is printed actually in the torah so driver says this is also connected to the beginning of parashat malice of the torah where the author brings the catholic discourse give a look what's the connection between the tremendous amount of love and that creates israel that we should that will do our work with with the idea of hashem giving us a shabbos whoever explains his files when he says like this so it's known that there's there's generally speaking there's two different levels of love there's many but for this conversation there's two levels of love what are the two levels of love there's something which is called a love from the world and avaraba an abundant amount of love what's the difference between ava's love from the world and love which is an abundance amount of love and ever explains like this during the week sunday through friday where do we get the love from we get it from the world what does that mean when you meditate on the world on the physical world and we know oil which means world also comes from the same word of hell and concealment and you meditate upon this world that technically you look at a physical world but you meditate on the world and you realize how great hashem is so you start loving hashem but where's the love coming from it's coming from the world and the world where hashem is concealed so therefore because the love is coming from the world and hashem is concealed so the love is a love that's that's limited because hashem is not fully revealed in this world is concealed so yeah you meditate about the greatness of hashem though he created the world maintains the world and but since the source is from world of concealment so the love is going to be limited and what's what's the uh what's our job so to speak during the week our spiritual job we have to transform the 39 uh works of the basement for example planting and sowing all the physical works that we have to do during the week so what do we do during the week all our physical things that we have to do we transform them for godliness now the fact is where do we have the source of what's considered work from the michigan but the fact that representative we don't have it so therefore it's a hot it's a high level spiritual thing so why can't it be infinite because since it's coming from the mishkan because even though it's coming to michigan the fact that we don't have the mishkan today we don't have it but on the other hand when you meditate on the differences of the world so what happens and even though it's different you realize it's all coming from hashem yeah you get a relationship with hashem you get love for hashem but it's going to be an abu sulum a love which is finite it's because it's coming from the world so again so the first level of love is a love that comes from the world and because the love comes from the world to find that level of love what happens on shabbos shabbos is already above the world so then because shabbos is not you're not connected to the world thomas you don't do anything shabbos is a spiritual day they have rest they have connections hashem so because it's because it's a day that you're not connected to the physical world so the love is called the avaraba what does it mean a huge amount an abundance love no limits shabbos love for hashem is infinite there's nothing holding you back there's nothing you're tied to you're not getting it from physical world because the fact is on shabbos you know it's written to do any work so it's above all it's above concealment of the world so if we call it above the world you don't have to you don't have the limitations of concealment so since you don't have the limitations of the world's different love could be infinite now even though in shabbos so what happens before we go further so again to recap there's two different levels of love there's the love from the world which is during the week and there's the infinite love on shabbat so shabbat shabbat comes we all know everyone's relaxed we're in a state of love infinite love and life is amazing but nevertheless so what happens in shabbos sunshine whoa we have this tremendous love but nevertheless what do we say even when you're standing on shabbat and you have this intense infinite love that's not the goal the goal is that from shabbos because we don't shop as a whole week shop is only one day of the week but the goal is of shabbos one of the goals of shabbos is we should take from that intense and that infinite of love that we have on shabbat and we should bring it into east russell that we should be able to allow us to work the whole week on fire because what happens after showers we know it says altira of the aqua we're afraid shabbos is so beautiful we're so relaxing we connected to the infinite now we have to go build their act with finer things so what do we say after shabbat altira of the occur don't be afraid yaakov so the question is one second shabbos we're experiencing experience in the infinite love so after shabbos we have to go back into the world we say you know the reason of shock the intents are so we should focus on bringing the energy to the weak so the question is why can't you just be in the moment in shabbos why do we have to think about taking the energy for the weak the main thing is right now right now shabbat i'm experiencing infinite love and now i'm on a very very high level so why in shabbos am i thinking about taking the energy from during the week what do i have to think about the week if i'm in this infinite space tell me whoa you know the whole goal of shabbos is that you should take the energy during the week let me enjoy the moment do i have to think about packing a bag so during the week you know not only that during the week we know you have to prepare for shabbos but on shabbos you're supposed to think about during the week everyone knows during the weekend the whole week you're preparing for shabbos why because we're looking forward to that day we're going to connect to the infinite the day we're connecting infant you're telling me i should now start thinking about packing up for during the week why let me just enjoy the moment in other words before shabbos you plan for you plan for shabbos but when you but what happens when you're on the level of shabbos and especially where the reference has the highest level of the connection of the infinite love is when in hebrew it's called raven the riven rustling of order at sinus the highest level when is that that is shabbat afternoon like after milka time which is the representative discouraged like in two hours when they were saying this discourse so why would i on this powerful moment shot this afternoon right even the arrival in the most highest level i'm connecting the infinite love of hashem what do we have to think about during the week let me just stay here stay here forever right everyone loves to have shabbos forever but nevertheless what do we say this is not the ultimate the go the ultimate is that you have to bring that powerful avaraba down this is the top that has to help you during the week that during the week when you're living in the physical world you're dealing with mundane things that tremendous love you're bringing into the world and thereby says so that's what that's that's the ultimate doesn't look like look at the reference password could they and that's why we say in the siddiq discourse the second exercise that we mentioned the doctor brings look at the torah rule give a look hashem why because only hashem is giving you the shabbos what's the avoid of what we should see what should we see youtube the infinite is giving you shabbos what gets revealed on shabbos is the infinite part of hashem practically speaking that's avaraba the the infinite love is revealed in shabbos in other words that literally the infinite love gets revealed in shabbos that literally from the from all the physical things in the world we're sitting in shabbos and we have tremendous love you sit and eat and you drink and you're celebrating you have but but what your one hand you're in the world you have you're you're out in the mountain of shabbat you're having siddha shabbis you're having a feast and shabbos whatever you do on shabbat physical enjoyment but it's the infinite part in other words not only in shabbos you take the things from that you prepare from during the week the physical things as we know we have to be behold in everything you do you have to know hashem so throughout shabbat whether you're walking you're sleeping you're eating you're drinking you know hashem and you're doing it mitzvah you're doing it for the mitsura shabbos but it's deeper than that because everything you do not only you're doing it for the mitzvah shabbos is a mitzvah so therefore whatever you're doing in chavez becomes a mitzvah the whole physical component of shabbos gets transformed of a mitzvah and that's why we say you should see what should you see literally you see it and just like when it came to the mana came when cain when the sun gave the man in the desert so we knew was shabbos had we know because every single day they came down one portion for the day sunday was one and monday was two what it meant friday ah it was double i was a double and the answer because we saw that hashem giving us a special gift from us so the same thing also that when we eat good meat and good fish and good wine etc all aged wine you have the tremendous love the tremendous love from the from and in the physical things so it was just to recap what is saying here that the goal is and sharpest to have the tremendous love but the love should be brought down into the physical world the physical world for the upcoming week but also in the physical part of shabbos and that's why it says we should see on shabbos in all the physical components of shabbos we're eating we're drinking we're sleeping whatever we're doing we should see the avaraba into the physical part it's not a disconnect for knows from the from the from the powerful love we should see it in the physical and in the physical we should feel the the tremendous love sherbet says wow you're gonna say this is amazing but in the other person say i'm not on that level i'm not in that level so what do we tell the person guess what give a look hashem is giving it to you you say i'm not in that level hashem is giving it to you so if hashem is giving it to you it's coming from you kevke so you're going to say i'm not in that level you don't have to be on the level like for example everybody gives a simple example when someone from a from a very very spiritual high level comes down and gives you a huge gift you can you have to say i'm not ready i am ready to receive the gift it's a gift hashem is giving it to you you know since it's a gift on high so what do you what if it's not like being ready you're not being ready hashem gives you a gift of shabbos it's a gift and who's going to tell someone what to give what not to give if hashem gives you hashem is giving it to you so what are you going to say you're not ready you've got it it's a gift of you have to do anything it's not asking you to transform yourself you're just receiving a gift and hashem has given me the gift of shabbos we all know it says in the talmud that shabbis is what does that mean that when hashem created the world he created the sunday and monday and tuesday et cetera and he created shabbos when he created childhood he created a day of rest so during the week we have things we have to do just like hashem worked every day we work every day six days a week shabbat shall do anything but how am i going to make it holy and the answer is my conscious of a kind that's holy for hashem created to be that way so since i shall create to be holy so do i have to have to look i have to do anything it's holy as it is shabbat explains that it's brought down in many places in kabbalah there's three levels of shabbos very very important component there's three levels of shabbos there's one component in shabbos we know it says if somebody prepares for shabbos they're gonna shabbat it means during the week sunday monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday a whole week you prepare for shoppers you buy things you make things you clean up so you prepare you'll have what to eat in shabbos so how do you have a beautiful shabbos based in the first approach by wasting your effort as much as effort you put in during the week that's the kind of shamans you have and and and that's what the verse says with some rubiness for all the shabbos that we should observe the shabbos we should work hard to make shamas beautiful and then losses are shabbos you want to have shabbos work hard a whole week so the first component to shabbos is that we put an effort a whole week and we have a beautiful shabbos that's one component to show this there's another component of shabbos is the conch of akaima shabbos is holy you have to do anything that's holy it's a good it's holy but in its own something created the world in six days you rest in the seventh seventh shabbos is a magical day that's the second component again so the first is we put the effort and we get the reward for chavez when he enjoys shabbos but it comes based on our effort the second one is that shabbos is holy but then the other side is a whole different level what's the whole different level like it says i have a good gift in my house of treasures and you know what the name of the gift is shabbos so it's a whole different level hashem is saying is i have a gift in my treasures the name of the gift of shabbos and hashem is giving us the gift like it says over here rookie hashem hashem is giving us a gift and it's not just a regular gift the gift is coming from yut kevke so it's a gift that's coming from a very very high place in hashem so what would he ask before we ask the question shabbos man construct is holy so we know shabbos is holy what is adding in sherbet explains like this because this that we say shabbos is my concern why is travis holy because that's trump created the world in six days and he rested in the seventh where does it say that in the beginning of genesis what is the same beginning of genesis hashem elohim the day that hashem youth um made heaven and earth and it's brought down that it if you count up how many times it says the shame the shame of the king when creation of the world 32 times 32 times i shall create the world says 32 times but what the shame of kim which is more of a finite name versus youth kevke so the conscious the component of shabbos that's it's holy yes it is holy but what is it coming from which name the name of him not as powerful as if kevke however what are we saying over here rookie hashem youth k bufke is giving you shabbos and that's what that's what that's what we need to work on that we need to work on to see that youth is coming from yurth kevok that hashem is giving us an opportunity and ability ability that even when we are arriving the raven we even won the highest part of shabbos give a look hashem is giving you this huge gift but the goal is to bring it into the world and like that like the the rebel asham explains in his classic discourse in tough that on riven arriving literally shabbos afternoon the last couple hours of shabbat that's when you get the gift which is from hashem's treasure and not only you got the gift of saying or some treasure that urban shop explains it's literally a taste of literally a taste of what's going to be like because we know that between um uh minh hamairev what do you do then that's when you don't do anything friday night you have a meal show this morning you have a meal what do you do you sit and study we have a share over here you sing some songs um but what but there's no eating and drinking my team and kamaev why because you're literally experiencing what it's going to be like when the shia comes and then there's not going to be any eating and drinking but even in that moment of what arrive in the riven shabbos afternoon when you're experiencing hashem look at you is giving you this gift which is which is a has some kind of taste what's going on we have to remember the goal is to take that powerful energy and bring it into within ourselves that will be able to create this resolution for our whole week and inshallah as well and then what happens to my choice shabbos after challenge what do we say i'll tear off the active don't be afraid why why don't be afraid because you're taking that tremendous love that you received in shabbos and you're connecting it during the week it's not that shabby this was amazing oh my gosh yes oh my gosh if you don't bring the love of shabbos during the week to the week then it's oh my gosh but then we say altir don't be afraid because take that avarama that you received in shabbos and bring it with you and you'll have it with you a whole week now the rubber says that we explained whoever said he explained like the previous shabbos of this discourse between the connection between terror which as you mentioned before that's the first two uh embraces of the teachings although on the parasha and the torah which starts um and also as we learned before it has allah that the last pacific discourse ontario er speaks about two different levels of rutsan two different levels of will so that someone asked that every question but uh the fact is after that specific discourse interior about two levels of rust and passion by yaakov there's another discourse afterwards and represent the truth is that um that in the like the ultimate rights in the beginning uh uh uh in the in the uh of the book of terror that um that the these the second this course is actually not from partial biacos that's clearly it's a partial it's for for the holiday of pesach and they put it after the yakult and like they all included also as well some sort of discourse about mcgillis esther what we read on purim but the fact is rubber says you can say that nevertheless even the things that are explained in that classic discourse reference to pesach it also has to do with parashat could they why because it speaks of their about it he brings the verse and the prophet it says in reference to um or when going out of egyptian particularly that we developed and we uh when hashem took us out of egypt so it's referring to obviously preparing for for the holiday of pesach and also the end of terror where it speaks out the idea of miguel assassin what does it speak about there so it says like shadow that esther didn't ask anything wasn't he didn't ask anything what do you have to ask for stuff and the answer is when don't you ask when you have true ability you have acceptance so the sum is the level of light bishop or total acceptance whatever does which that's connected to that level of bitter acceptance with the acceptance that we do when we pray sharon estrada because the appraisal totally bit that we're totally accepting we're totally humble to hashem which is also the same idea would speak certain possibly could they on the discourse when they when the lad comes when it's like they have beetles so you see that it's also connected to the idea of what they have a bit on acceptance so and so when you finish pashmi could they what happens afterwards we go into reading practice by ikra what's the same rashford says i'm called now we know where yikra is an expression of love it's all about love you call someone it's not like the talking and speaking strongly by you it's calling it he calls him an expression of love and like it brings that from the from the tsam sadlek that is so he says that in vaiyikra the alif the letter aleph in vayikra is a small letter olive and um so the semester asked the altarebba how come it's a small aleph and if you look in the prophets in divya yamim someone speaks about adam so the aleph is actually a big a a a a a b it's a big aleph so invite a small alpha mushroom remains a small aleph in reference to adam it's a bigger aleph and the ultraviolet answer that someone said like his grandchild and he said that um because moisture a banana he was totally humble he didn't have any feeling of ego or arrogance etc so he didn't have any any any any any self ingratiment and notice why because he felt the idea of bitter he was totally humbled which which uh because because he was humble that's right a small alice against after explaining them by ikra is bitter that's with the small alpha it's humility versus other almost arrogant that's why it's a big aleph so directly what's the idea bittel bittle comes when a person has thai nuggets me and that's when a person has essential pleasure they feel good about themselves now because of something else food drink or anything else or someone said something or arrogance that's that will not create bittle bittle comes when a person has internal satisfaction a great self-esteem but a self-esteem not from anything external literally tying the gospel in internal satisfaction that creates the ultimate battle so jeff says when your person has the experience as tremendous avaraba tremendous love for hashem and you bring it down into the world and then you go to the level of eco you have troll ultimate bittle that's the greatest key and recipe to have a a great life and a good life and and experiencing the greatest love but also internalizing in the world so you see from here how avarab is amazing you have the greatest love but the point is it's all about fueling our own efforts and our own efforts come we have bitter we have acceptance we can be connected to the most powerful things obviously we learned beautiful ideas about shabbos different levels of shabbos the part that we put in the effort which we all do and the part that the shambhas said you know is holy on its own which is elokim but ultimately we have to realize we have to see that hashem gives us the greatest gift of shabbos and hashem gives us literally a gift and we can experience the greatest love the greatest energy but remember take that energy bring it into your life and you'll have a great life full with tremendous blessings thanks so much for joining us for this class and let's hope that next class will be in your shalamir koidesh with mashiachs at kenya have a great and blessed week shavua tov
