How can we receive Blessings like Abraham? ואברהם זקן New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're going to be learning a beautiful powerful discourse in the the name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse that year was also the shabas that blessed the month of K in the year which is 48 years ago the re went on to certify and edit this discourse in honor of the 25th day of the month in the year which is exactly 35 years ago in honor of the most powerful and clear day of the day of so again the discourse is based in the verse in the Torah portion where it says was old coming in days and it says God blessed Abraham with everything so the re rashab in the discourse with this title in the year tough so he asks a question it says blessed with everything what is everything what did he bless him with what what does B mean okay and the point of the explanation is that is a level of godliness which is called in Hebrew the deepest deepest concealment the essential concealment that from there all Revelations come from that's what he blessed them with huge blessing and like the Z says based on the verse where it says so the says Abra was blessed from the place that all the blessings come from there and that's why the verse is without saying any details because it's infinite it's much deeper and higher than details everything comes from there we have to understand the connection um between the the explanation of the Zoya that he blessed him from the source of all the blessings and Rashi says what does mean he blessed him with what is the connection is very simple if you take the the the uh letters is made up of and lamid which K is 20 and lamid is 30 and B is two B is with everything so it's so the total number is 52 which is the same numerical value as Bing a son which is BAS is two and N is 50 so the question is what's the connection between these two also when you read further on the verses so what it seems is that Abraham was older it's and he blessed him it's an introduction to what it says afterwards that hasem that Abraham told the servant you should go ahead then you should find to me a wife for my son y so the question is what's the connection between Hashem blessing him with everything and like we said the Z says in the source of all the blessings and there from there all the blessings come out to what it says afterwards that he sent his servant to find a wife for his son also we have to understand the tremendous uh idea of the marriage between Y and RKA which is even higher than b the source of all the blessings and not only that because the reason why blessed one anything is Introduction to the marriage so obviously the marriage of is much higher we're going to understand this with an introduction what it says in the medish powerful medish intriguing medish and it says like this Hashem does not go ahead and Elevate someone until he checks him out and he tests them out and M gives an example Hashem tested him with 10 tests and after he withstood all the 10 test then he blessed them like the verse says so other words this he said that is a byproduct of him being tested ah you won the test Hashem knocked you out he tested you you were successful you did not you not fall and you stayed strong guess what now you have everything that's what the med says so the the Reed explains that the 10 tests that he was tested corresponds to the 10 spheroid how so so he tested them with all the 10 test which all the spheroid but Co is what Pate the internal part of the highest which is not part of the calculation of 10 know in this level the pemus not the external part of C the internal part of CER a person can't reach there through a test you can Elevate one SPH another SPH but P you can't reach there so after Rino he which stood all the test which basically every one the test correspond to the one 10 so over there you can you can in cabalistic terms it's called you can create a you can awaken that so then gave him a gift which basically gave him the gift of so says you can say that this is why the verse says Abraham was old coming in the days in other words this that AB was old coming in his days in other words even though the fact is a person gets old and he's coming with his days he's healthy he's happy it's also a blessing from hasem but nevertheless it the Torah attributes it say doesn't sayem made him old in his day and he's still alive says however when it comes to the that doesn't say it doesn't say has it say gave him the blessing of Co so there you can say the possible relation is as follows that this that that was blessed what he Zing he was able to get to old age and by his days are complete yes it's 100 is a partner but hand it come from who who who so to speak in you know communicates with hem that you should be able to come to old age and you should come healthy Etc that comes through your work so means yes true ultimately everything Fromm but did his part that hem should give him B know through his work however this that he has of no that you that's zero input in your part that's strictly a gift from hem and you cannot go ahead and do anything to make that happen and that's why this blessing comes after 10 tests because why after the 10 test if it's a gift from Hashem why the 10 test the answer is because we know there's a terminology in The Zo it says that like only allows himself to rest and it's a complete vessel so therefore hasm had to go I mean had to go through the 10 test he was a complete vessel now he got the now he got the gift from hasem of and that's why it says now so even though says we know that reached it but the fact that is a level of which is basically is a very high level and like the Met says that says come and wear my G garments like it says and there a a commentary says this when says Abra reach which means he was wearing the garments of hem is also called and the adds that even the idea of of of Zak which is di is also one of the Garment of it's also the level of and like it says the garments are 13 levels of of of of of 13 it's called 13 Points of Light so so so therefore so what what does that mean where what are we saying we're saying is that that that originally said that one he reached on his own and that's a gift because you can't reach it but the fact is we know is also explains and he says no the fact is that we say that the is it's it's not itself pure atic it's actually the lower level of which is which is also called at times and you can say that this that is called optic because you have in it yes the seven lower levels of optic in however Co is AC itself so in other words the first part of the verse it's really it's called it's really that has within an infusion of but is actually itself not only say a step further that even in ATK itself it's the first three levels of a which which never go into up to the point you have the highest level of which even higher than that and and and and like we said before that the beginning of the discourse that that Co is the it's much even deeper than and this that we say that is referred to like it say and because why because he's able to reach that level because it's really that has an infusion of however when comes to it says blessed him because this this this it's the external part of ker and that he was able to accomplish so you can say that that that's also the the the the inside of what it says is the Garment of um with what the AL says that what does z mean it's soan stands for acquired K intellect and B is referring Tov because this had the garments of how did he receive that he received it by learning and doing mitv he' like to explain this more more more in detail know z and b is two different levels know what are the two different levels so Zak as we know inab says the the old which again is the beard is referring to the 13 Points of Light so where does that reach that reaches still in the lower part of but and is itself in other words and this actually is called is referring to the essence of the skull of so the two different levels are Z is basically the the the and is actually itself and this is the connection of and on high which is basically the garments of hem with these two ideas on a practical level why is that cuz is referring to intellect which is internalized which that's connected to idea of and the g the skull of which is connect and when through the fact that learn like we know he was able to bring in the point of of the intellect of and through that he was which means he did the Mitzvah he was able to bring in the idea of idea of so that's the two parts of by learning to and doing mitzvas he's able to draw down different levels of however which is itself which is the higher part of K which is Prem that you can't reach and that's why it says hem blessed him which basically it's it's a gift from hasem which comes as a gift however this gift from hasem comes after you do your complete work and after you do your part then you receive the gift and that's whym blessed M comes after 10 test like well like we discussed before now okay so till now we learned that is the basic learning do ET but is coming from and there explains and he says like this even this idea of which we said is connected totic which is which is in Artic there's different levels and like it's understood from the discourse of the of of of of the title of that the beginning it says that abam um was able to Merit the level of Co how do he reach Co so you have to reach coil so you have to be a vessel so so there's different levels how you reach Co the first level that explains is by observing the not transgressing any of the negative precepts and even this level of Co um he say this piaic but how do you receive it he received it by by not transgressing negative pre precepts and he like he explains over the there that is after it says why because is referring to the the positive Commandments and is doing the positive commandments so he reached level of however this that he reached um the level of Co that came by not transgressing the negative precepts which basically is optic Which is higher than okay so the first teaching says that the first part that he achieved on his own that's coming to the positive Commandments and Co he he achieved what by not not transgressing negative Commandments later on he says no how did R achieve the level of Co he achieved it by by by by by being successful in the 10 test try to test him like it says in the med and you can say that the coil that AEM that that reached that level through passing all the tests is higher level than not transgressing the the negative precepts so every he explain what the explanation behind is like this because the level of atic which is the the internal part of kesser um which is connected to the idea of K which he which he which he reached by not transgressing the negative precepts so the fact is that has a connection to the level of aish the world flows and therefore the the the the work that put in that he received that level it has to do with based on based on his e e on his efforts and way he can reach but nevertheless since optic is higher so therefore he didn't you can achieve it by doing a Mitzvah I'm going to get it by doing a mitzah and get it but by not doing that's how you receive it now so that is one level so the first level we said that he he achieved it by not by by by not transgressing negative precepts so technically he didn't do anything because if you're doing then how can you reach it it's infinite but by not doing okay the next level he says when you the level of optic which we said is co that he reached that level of through test if that is totally disconnected from the world totally why because that's referring to the hel the total concealment why is that because when a when a person serves hasem when you're serving Hashem you can't compare when it's totally dis when when you're totally it's not about you at all but the reason you you're connecting is you're being tested you're not doing what you want to do you want to do one thing hashm is testing you and youm once and we know the fact is you that's something which is a gift from hasm because you can't put yourself in a test and we actually pray every don't put me to the test but by being tested and you overcome the test then you can reach the highest levels okay so D is saying us like this to recap ra reach level of Co either through the lower level the first level by not transgressing the negative so that's you're not doing anything you're reaching level of Co but still connected to to you or the deeper level is by being tested then it's then you're totally of being tested it's totally not about you and then you reach a de deeper level of Co you could say and this way it says hem blessed AB with only after what he he didn't get to after the first test the second the fifth only after the 10 test why because the 10 tests can correspond to the 10 we wrote and the fact that completion happens when it's connected to 10 you have to you have to you have to you have to hit every one of the 10 Ser that's in general deeper der can say that in order to reach the level of Co and like we explained Co is like it's attic the pem which is totally disconnected and has no connection with the way things flow in the world how do you achieve the greatest connection that comes when you do the work without any limits and since the 10 Sphero are connected to the 10 test and the 10 tests are connecting to the 10 Sphero so it's connected to levels and it's connected to the 10 utterances which is actually lower than the 10 SPID so this that he was able to withstand the test so it's still finite it's still limited so he needed the the final test the 10 test which was the what's the 10 test the ARA bringing a son up as as as a sacrifice on the altar which is which is the the most powerful a test why is that cuz that's the test which basically has no limits why is that even one hand you can say what do you mean it's part of the 10 test but you can say that it's all even though it's part of the 10 test there's a component which is above the 10 why is that like he brings from the m the m says that the verse says 11 days from so what is when so the M says what is that referring to it's referring to the utterance said the first the first utterance of the Ten Commandments which basically we know that's the first one the most powerful one and it's explained in that this that an is called 11 what's the connection with with with to 11 know it's part of the Ten Commandments because the even though it's part but it's connected to K that's why it's called the 11th and we know in K there's two levels there's the external part of ker which basically is part of the T and there's the internal part of which is not part of the 10 it's totally above it so this the the word on one hand it's part of the Ten Commandments that's what from the from the external part of ker but from the internal part yes it's part of 10 but but but it's the 11th and it's not part know it's it's it's one and it's not part of the counting so you can say also when it comes to the test of the of the ARA which is the most powerful test more than all the tests before said now I know it's like the level of kesser which is high in all the Spheres which means it has it has has both components on one end it's part of it on the other hand it's above it why is that so we're going to talk down depth about this powerful test of the ARA in other words this that Abu we know his nature his nature his default setting was he was a kind person now his kindness wasn't just because he was kindness in his Source he was kind so someone that in his bone bones and his flesh and his Source it's all about how does he go ahead and bring his son as a sacrifice but nevertheless he went ahead and he brought his son as a sacrifice he took the knife to cut him which is opposite than his nature not only his own nature even in the source and Hashem says oh now I know that you're God-fearing only now not the nine test before because the nine test before wasn't opposite of nature but now after you you passed the test of of the ARA now I know you're God feel God-fearing why because now I know you have real offer you have the real power the the real strength because all the tests so that's the first component the first component is before we get to the second the first component the difference between all the test and this test is all the tests he was following hem it wasn't against his nature here he had to go against against his nature how does he something now I know that you that's that's Point number one the second powerful idea of the of the 10 the 10th test is all the test was about himself his test he was whatever he was sacrificing the 10th test he was sacrificing a son and we know the love that a person has for a son and especially for your only son is even greater think about this the love that a person has for their only son is greater than the love that they have for themselves else and like we say everything a person have they're going to give for the son so therefore the test of the ARA is much higher than all the test before for two reasons again one is began because basically he went against his nature and be you're dealing with your son because you can say the first idea of the test in the AA which means was he was going opposite as nature so nevertheless he was going opposite of nature but still him so from that component it has a connection to the previous test it was still about but it was higher yes it was higher and you can say that this that the AA proved that all the tests were real because obviously it has a connection to them because if there's no connection how can you say proofs for that so so the first reason is similar to the external part of ker which is AR know even though it's high than the t spher but but it's the source of them and it's actually is considered counted part of the but the second component of the of the AR which means you're dealing with his son that's something totally new and that component of son was not part of the first 10 nine tests first I that's fun Abraham wanted to be radical he wanted to go off the charts no problem here you son something totally new and that's connected to the level in the sphere of of of the internal part of ker optic which means it's totally disconnected and that's why he says being said literally me the essence of me which is optic and why is that yes because you weren't going to hold back and you're going to bring up your son someone else your son so based on that will understand after was able to withstand the a then blessed them because this that AB was able to bring his son up on Thea that means there's no limits and that's when hasem blessed him pus the internal part of octic which we said in the beginning of discour the essential concealment now this powerful idea of bringing down helas what's the intent of drawing down this powerful H blessed him hasem blessed Abraham so the goal is not that he should have access to the concealed essence of conceal where it is and everyone he go open the door and look at it no no no the goal is to bring it down and make that hel me bring it down reveal it without any limits and like the zor says what does it mean by a it's a place it means he's able to connect to it and bring it down as much as he wanted and this is the connection between the inside of the Z that says that is heli and rashi rashi says it's a son but is we said the numerical value of a son what's the connection he and do because which is what kind of of optic of internal and which is but what and that's why says I'm going to multiply season I'm going to give him where's to come the the the uh heavy flow but it's going to be a lot of a lot of blessings that comes specifically from from the from the from the severity of an intense flow like it says in the in the S of of mysticism in the Discord that starts to understand based on the intent intent of the now so so in other words so the goal is to take that and bring it down with tremendous flow through even though one second if we're getting involved in tremendous in a lot what do you mean and now is we're getting to details but nevertheless so you're going away from the concealment where it's only one but nevertheless you does know the the intensity and the multiplicity that comes from the severity of Y is that even in the details what gets what what's revealed the source to sources they come from the essential concealment that that that that is that is totally concealed but it comes down into the world and by going ahead and making that in the details what's recognized is the simplicity what happens then is get what gets revealed is the really the internal and the essential part of everything that the fact is it's not limited based on the description and it can come in that Simplicity and that concealment can come into every single detail and that's why he says in the future what are we going to say that um we're going to say that who's our father y's Our Father AB we don't know why CU When mesiah comes what's going to be revealed the the internal part of Artic and in order to reveal the internal part ofik that comes specifically through the gur the power and the strength of Y and that's why when it came to hasem blessed ab and he blessed him and that's an introduction like we said before to the marriage of because the ultimate intent is that the most powerful level of and should come down and reveal in the lowest levels how does that happen that happen specifically by the union of and RKA why because and RKA which basically is the source and the source of both of them both of both is butel of and Rifka is the level of ban and the Revelation come that comes down to the low world comes through that comes through the the name ban and that's why it says Hashem blessed Abraham with everything as an introduction to the marriage of because the ultimate intent of this blessing is that it should come down to the world of Bri and AIA and until this physical world up to the place where Rifka was like we said she was like a a rose amongst Thorns that even over there what should be revealed pus antic should be revealed where Rifka was now this that the tah tells us that AR merited the the the the level of Co um by by going ahead and and and and being successful in the 10 test like everything in t we know is teaching us a lesson that it's a lesson that has to that it has to be similar to the lesson of the test in other words that we have to we have to serve hem we have to pray and study and do mitv with tremendous effort not like push a button and it happens no you got to spend time learning T thinking about it praying and doing a Mitzvah you have to do an effort and doing an effort not a standard effort effort more than you normally do similarly to the test of you went through and that's why it says in the on the ver Z says on the verse I didn't see so the question what does me so it says that those that basically they they they they sweat and try to understand wisdom and and and this this idea in the Z comes to continuation it says by know by what does it mean by trying understanding by by toiling and like we're learning here we're learning by learning in not just learning putting in effort more than you normally do and like like like the zor says clearly which means you want to understand it the L level of is straight but you want to you know backwards and forwards and by doing that you're actually drawing you're drawing in that by learning to her that way what that affects that when you do the Mitzvah also the Mitzvah is done with tremendous effort like we know that the what's the reason the the bet is what's greater t or mitv and the answer is T is great because it brings you to Mitzvah so the idea of learning and toiling in will bring you to toiling and doing a Mitzvah and there also the putting in the effort in spreading like we're learning on the YouTube you know spreading out the teachings all over the world um besides the fact of the effort you have to have by learning learning the T and understanding the Wellsprings of T but you also have to have put in effort to spread the wells Springs and to bring the wells Springs that even people that are outside amongst the thorns and by doing that the big prize you're going to have is going to come and then when mhia is going to come we're going to reveal the essential concealment and finishes off with a powerful blessing it should happen so here we have another powerful discourse of the rebba with the powerful blessing of and the fact is we all have the power to bring down the pleasing says by learning tah doing mitz and spreading and let's hope our next class will bees have a great and blessed week sh
