How to Succeed in the Spiritual War...כי תצא למלחמה A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on this we're going to be learning this week a beautiful city discourse in the river the name of the discourse is called ki la mohammad when you go out to war the rebels said this qasidic discourse on shabbos parasha said say which was the 14th day of the montevello in the year tough shin mem hey 37 years ago so again the civic discourse is based on the verse of the torah portion the questions that the different uh hasidic rebellion the khabarov have asked in other words question number one is when the torah says you're on top of your enemy so why does it say on top of the enemy you know seemingly it turns out with your enemy or uh uh or act your enemy etc what's the idea on top of your enemy that's question number one the next question they ask is the verse says the visa shibuya that a captive you're gonna you're gonna take it's a double expression bishop visa you're gonna take the captive or should you the captive why a double expression in other words that's question number one another and what does it seem from the verse what you're taking from the enemy is a captive that the enemy took from somewhere else in other words you're not taking something that belongs to the enemy you're taking a captive from the enemy so why is it specifically referring to you taking a captive from the enemy versus taking what belongs to the enemy another question i've asked is in other words when you go to war from the enemy so you what happens then you're taking what belongs to the enemy you're not taking it also captive so why is the torah specifically saved also there was asked another question we have to understand the continuation of the verses afterwards what does it say afterwards that if you take a woman as a captive so you're gonna shave her head cut up her hair you're gonna allow the nails to keep on growing and then she's gonna cry for her mother and her father for a whole month what's the connection and whoever explains the general ideas as follows what does it mean when you're going out to war you know there's a physical war you're going after physical war but it's also a lesson teaching every one of us and and now each and every one of us but in every generation it applies to every single one of us past present and future in other words why is that because we know the whole torah because torah comes from the word of a hero our lesson so anytime you have something in the terrorists that teaches a lesson and the torah was given as we know it says um if it was given an inheritance to the jewish people every single one of us the torah belongs to us it's our inheritance and since we know torah is not just a torah book that sits on the shelf but it's called torah it's a torah of life which means it's teaching us a lesson how to live our life so obviously all the different details that we're learning about this subject matter are going to war and taking a captive etc um it has something which teaches us a very powerful lesson in our life and every one of us so what what is that lesson so everybody explains and he says those follows knows what does it mean when you're going out to war on a practical level and are serving hashem because rubber explains what does that mean the general idea of going out to war on a spiritual level on a practical level in hebrew it's called sodom which basically means a person has a responsibility you have to go out to war to conquer the world the physical world the materialistic world and take the materialistic and the physical world and make it into a dwelling place for hashem so as we're shifting perspective we're not just talking about a war of the past we're talking about every single day when we get up every single day when we're involved in the world we are dealing with a physical materialistic world and our job is to make the world a vessel for godliness that's what our job is and it's a war it's a real war because the materialistic world wants to be materialistic it wants to be physical our job is to take the physical materialistic world and turn it into a godly place worship and that's why it says when you're going to go out to war on your enemy why because you're getting up or throughout the day and you're trying to transform the world to make the world a godly place so you're going to think oh my gosh am i going to be successful or not so a person has to know and the torah says you're going out to conquer the world to make the world a godly place remember remember you are above your enemy in other words you will be successful because you have the upper hand why are you going to have the upper hand so very simple because why are you going to war why do you want to make the world a godly place because god commanded us he said god is commanding us you're going out to war you're going out to make the world a godly place so why are you doing this you're doing it in the power of hashem and the power of torah so it's not two equals that we're we and the world are equals no we have to remember when you're going out to war to make the world a godly place remember you're above the enemy we have the edge we have going with the power of hashem we're going the power of torah to make the world a godly place for hashem now why is that again like we just learned because you said to mitzvah he said we're going out to war but trevor says one second rashi just said in the commentary what kind of what we're talking about we're talking about a war which is optional if we're saying you will command it to go out to works i get it we're commanded to go out to transform the world and therefore we're above the enemy but if rashi is saying it's referring to an optional war so where's the command to go out so i'm sorry i have to go out to conquer conquer the world so the rubber explains very simple when when rashi is saying that what's an optional optional to go out to war what does that mean practically it's referring to not going ahead to transform the negativity of the world in the positive but referring to dealing with the neutral part of the world and we're taking the neutral part and making the neutral into a vessel for our sin how do we do that like we know it says clearly in the mishnah um all our actions that means any action that we're doing any basic simple action whether we're doing an error and we're out walking in the street simple stuff whatever we're doing we should do it let's shame shamayim our intent should be whatever with not necessarily doing a mitzvah or avoiding a transgression basic activities basic chores of the day we should do it everything we do we should do for the sake of hashem and as it is also says in all our ways again which is referring to general are ways not necessarily specifically going to do a mitzvah we should d a who we should know hashem it means that everything we call our actions we should have the intention for hashem ourselves every place that we're going everything that we're doing we should always try to be cognizant that our son creates the world or something runs the world hashem is with me and this way you're making the world a vessel for hashem now even though this is not a mandatory war it's not one of the mitzvoth it's not one of to stay away from uh uh from a transgression but nevertheless even in this war to take our simple acts bahamas all our actions are making the shame shamayim the called everything we do for hashem even if it's optional even there because rashford is rashoos it's optional yes even there you should know that we are alive we are on top of the enemy and we will be successful why is that because since what we're doing in our simple mundane acts behold everything that we're doing with knowing hashem all our simple actions it's all ashamed from i am so we're doing it because because it says in the torah he says he says we're talking the optional activities and like the verse says clearly that it's referring to us an optional war and our job is to transform the neutral part of the world so therefore even this type of war we're dealing with a neutral part of the world and we're making it for the sake of hashem over there we have to remember don't worry we'll be successful why because we are above our enemy and when a person goes out to war to deal with the world but to have the proper intention of whatever you're doing is for hashem and you know that you are on top of your enemy so what happens is your success is on a whole different level and the success is not just a passive success but it's a success off the charts like in a way we call hebrew with tremendous success so our success will be in a very very powerful and very very powerful way the verse continues out to say what to say in the torah hashem will give you your enemy in your hand what does that mean and whoever explains like this it's known when someone goes out to wage war so there's different ways you can wage war one way you're waging war is you have to put a lot of toil a lot of effort into it and and you have to it's something just back breaking it's it's stress it's stressful it's strenuous etc and because of your effort that's how you have the success because you've got to you put in the effort and you'll have the success that's one type of war but then there's a different type of success that comes without even putting any effort into it like it says the the famous line um that that all your work gets done automatically you have to show up but things happen miraculously in other words even though you're in a situation of a war but nevertheless the success is in a way of peace where basically the opposition falls away and you can and totally goes away so one way is where you have to work hard and the other way you do you show up but everything comes easy like the famous line in psalms from king david where he says my soul was redeemed in peace me crumbly from those that wanted to hurt me for those that were close to me in other words even though he was in a situation of it was it was it was close combat and it was real war from people that were close to him but nevertheless his success and his redemption was in a way of peace and peace means a peace but peace also means in a way of completion so a was peaceful and it was fully complete and this is the second level of success without putting any effort into it things happen by itself and that's what the verse says hashem will deliver the success in your hands and others and you go out to war with the proper intention knowing i am here and i know that i have a mission to make the world a godly place and i know i'm above the enemy i know we have the edge because god did create the world and hashem is worth what servants with us then what happens is we have the success off the deliver success without any effort and it's an and there is specifically the word used in the summary there's something comes from the word a gift hashem gives us the gift of the success and we know when someone gives a gift you give with tremendous with a good eye and with tremendous abundance another success with a good eye and total completion so the point job is breaking is that we go out to where we have to remember in the sun like hashem will give us a success it's not going to come through a lot of effort make sure that we're successful but again we have to the right mindset to know that we are alive we have the power to succeed because we are above our enemy because we're with hashem and the practice the world is a godly place and whoever continues on to say it as follows even though what we just learned that the success is coming on success totally a gift but nevertheless we all know the intent is not a free lunch their intent is not asham to do the work for us the intent is which transform the world and we literally always have to struggle and have to have conflict and have to have them deal with challenges walking or something wants us to put the effort into it in other words that when you would that you the the war is the war is real and what happens is when you when you when you put the effort it and you conquer and you're successful then it becomes then it becomes really yours so in other words since the goal is that we should totally transform the world with our effort and we should transform it and we should conquer it and we should we and we should acquire it so it's not just enough or something gives us a gift which is great but we a person has to do our work and then it becomes really really yours like for example like we know that in order to to acquire something um but by war according to jewish law the person has to do something which in hebrew is called cubase you have to conquer it you have to have a hazaka um redeem the captive in other words besides the fact yes hashem is giving us a gift absolutely but but nevertheless we still have to reach a visa shiver we have to do our part we have to get the captive out of there by putting in our efforts so he knows even though hashem is going to give us the tremendous blessing success but nevertheless we still have to put our effort into it because by us putting our effort that's when that turn becomes real and that's what that's when we that's when we really connect to it and jerry goes on to say and that's why the verse says specifically the chavisa shibuya the double expression that we're going to we're going to take captive of the captive and we ask what's a double expression i know this never explains very very simple this that we're gonna put our effort into it by putting our effort we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna make the world a godly place so the transformation can take place on two levels one way you can look at it that the fact is that um this physical world is real and it's really physical and it's materialistic and not just natural states but we do our spiritual work we pray we study we do mitzvot so we elevate the physical world which by nature is really physical by nature it's not necessarily godly so in other words we elevate it and we we're taking it and we're changing the nature of the world and we're making the nature of the world of the physical world the vessel for god that's one way to look at it that the world is real and we're changing the nature of the world another way to look at it look at it is as follows that the truth is that the re the world and the source of the world is godly the world is not it's not the physical is not real it looks like it's real it it the materialism looks like it's real but really what's the source of it all comes from hashem but what happened it became unfortunately it got captive and to materialistic i took on a state where it looks like it's real so our job is to transform the world and to take it out from captivity and return it to its original source and i was never saying it's like this there's two ways to look at the world one way you can look the world is real and we have to change the nature of the world remember hey god you know the god in the world the other way is no no the world is really godly but unfortunately it doesn't look like it so what we're doing is we're we're we're uncovering the truth so that's why it says versus what does that mean because the world really is godly and for some reason and got this image that the materialistic is real that's not true so our job is just to take off the cover which is really a cover-up now even though derby says according to the first that we look at it that the the world is real so it's you're doing tremendous things you're transforming the world you're taking something materialistic and you're making it spiritual you're making it guardly but nevertheless so from a certain respect that's a you it's a huge accomplishment but nevertheless from the second perspective which basically what we're doing is we're only returning the world the physicality to its source so that will give us more vitality and more alacrity to do our job why because what we're doing is in hebrew it's called people translating we're doing pigeons william we're redeeming something that's in captive and that's a huge mitzvah that's even a bigger mitzvah if the world was materialistic okay very nice he did a great thing it transformed the tagalog place wonderful here we're saying is the world really is godly unfortunately because it's a prisoner it's a prisoner of the materialistic facade so when we go ahead and transform the materialistic world back to its original place we're doing pigeon spilling we're redeeming something that's in captain captivity like the river brings from the tanya the altar variety it's very very powerful very very clear that there's no greater simcha there's no greater joy when someone goes out of exile when someone's not in their natural state and someone gets redeemed like for example the ultimate uses the example of the son of a king that unfortunately went into exile and he's and he's in prison and he's working and he's working very very hard labor and you take the son of the king who's in prison doing black backbreaking labor and you free him and not either you're free but you bring him back to the father the king there's no greater joy than that so just like in a physical level if some the son of the king was in prison and you took him out of prison bring him back to his father wow it's the biggest joy the same thing also you take the materialistic world which is imprisoned in the world of the clippers and you bring it back to make it to a godly state there's no greater joy that that's that on that level and that's why he says you're taking out captive where it's really in captive in other words the truth is that this world was originally was originally part of god but unfortunately it was taken as a hostage and in order to give us an energy and alacrity to do our our spiritual world our spiritual work to take it out from cat again captivity and bring it back to a uh original place which basically is the mitzvah of opinions william redeeming something which isn't captive so based on this server explains beautifully why it says that mr visa shivya to inspire us that we have a huge mission we are our mission is to take the world which really is not a physical place it really is a godly place it really is a spiritual place but unfortunately the clipboard put on this materialistic facade that it's real and we redeem it and we realize no no what's real is god and by whilst learning god's torah by praying and doing mitzvot we're actually redeeming it that creates the greatest suh and that because it creates the greatest joy for hashem that gives us energy to go out and be successful in what we're doing to make the world a godly place it goes on to explain the the following verse what does it say the gilchrist russia that you're gonna you you're gonna um shave the head give it a good good haircut the ocean's per now and you're gonna let the the the nails grow different different insights exactly what that means different commentaries but the point is you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna let the nails grow or you're gonna cut it off depending on different different commentaries but the point the point is that you're you're gonna you deal with the idea of the nails what does that mean on a spiritual level sorry explains based on the altera explains and as follows he says as follows that the here on the head what does the hearing had come from so in hebrew it's called when you have too much too much intellect you're too intellectually involved in something and what happens is when you get too involved with your intellect in a materialistic world that's what causes the hair to grow so the hair grows on a spiritual level from intellectually too much getting intellectually involved in materialistic world the what are the what are the what are the nails on your fingers grow from that comes from when too too much emotional involvement in the materialistic world so what happens when you get too much too intellectually involved in the world the hair grows when you get too emotionally involved in the world your nails grow so our job is to cut the hair which means to disconnect from our intellectual involvement in the world cut the nails or to allow it to grow means let it let it go to go to to go go away which means to cut off our emotional involvement in the world another explains like this generally speaking our spiritual work in this world is in two areas one area is intellectually our spiritual work is meditation starting with our brain etc and the second is emotional refinement dealing with our emotions now so that's generally speaking but every right away says one second we know there's three areas why there's three things that rule us one is their intellect the seconds are emotions and the third is our liver so we're here we're saying that our body in this world is intellect and emotions what you have you've got to write about their liver so the rubber explains like this yes it's true that the liver is involved why because every avoider every spiritual work which again the main work is your intellect and your emotions has to come into action you can meditate about god you can be emotionally connected to god but if you're not willing to do the mitzvos what's the intellect and the emotions i mean it's great but it has to come into action and in reality because the fact that we know the expression that i'll say in hebrew translated hamas the action is the main thing and the action is connected to what to the blood in the liver and like we know the spiritual work is um in in in in the level of a of a king right the king in hebrew is called a melech has a king a malek is made up the king is made up of three letters mem lamid and huff mem stands for mayak our work on the intellectual level the lament stands for our lathe on emotional level and the stands for the cover deliver in other words our goal is just like the king takes control of the country our job is to take control of our spiritual country make sure our intellect is connected to god our emotions are connected to our god and our actions are connecting to god our god in other words so our spiritual all three levels should be done according to the way it says in the torah in other words when a person learns torah so then what happens is you look and then you become you that's when you take charge of your life when a person learns terror you take charge of your intellect because you're learning that i'm sorry with your brain you get excited you get emotionally involved the love for our son and then the action follows afterwards so even though you need all three but nevertheless servant says where does it start action is the end result but it starts in the intellect you got to study you got to meditate and you have to be on fire emotionally the love for us from the officer afterwards what happens is it goes into action automatic if you study and you meditate and you have a love for hashem and you're an offer hashtag for sure you're going to do all the myths voice but so you're going to behave the way you're supposed to so that's why it says you should you should um cut the hair and and and and deal with the nails another is why in order to have the ultimate success and be successful in making the world a godly place what do you have to do you have to cut off to here which means you have to take off the intellect that got involved and obsessed with the physical world and what you have to cut up the nails which means you have to get take get get get get disconnected from your emotional involvement in the world and that's why it says the officer in other words you have to fix it you have to fix the intellect and the emotions so it's a beautiful insight in the practicality of the hear and and and and the nails to that basically our spiritual work is connecting to god through our intellect connecting to go out to our emotions obviously the action will follow and sometimes when we use our intellect our emotions into the world we got to cut it back we got to bring it back get refocused use the biggest gift hashem gave you your brain your heart for us him what does the verse continue on to say of a year she's going to stay at home she's going to cry for her mother and her father for a month and then you're going to be intimate with her and then she'll become your wife so the river brings beautiful he brings the inside from the from the from the writings of the arizona and the reason as follows what's the idea of crying for a month one in a day one year a week why not uh two weeks three months a year what's what's the concept of a month so that results says when the verse says you cry for a month on a spiritual wasn't referring to it's referring to the month of ello we know right now getting right we're in the month of level and we do a whole month we do trouba we write we read songs we brought the schaefer uh there's a different this we hope we say different people have different customs when to say it but hey the shells the month that we we cried to hashem in other words the fact is like this up until we cry for a month was it referring to us referring to this general work of a whole year a whole year what are we doing the whole you were trying to make the world a godly place we're trying to focus our brain we're trying to focus our heart and that's enough when you go out to war and you know you're above your enemy you get you get rid of the the nails on the ear which means you cut back your emotional intellectual model in the world but what happens is when we come to the month of ello this month of l which is the month of acharyan which we have to make a calculation how the whole year was because we have to make a calculation on the previous year and we have to stop appearing ourselves for the next year so what happens we also now we have to turbo charge our connection hashem and that's what happens is when the like the result says this is referring to the month of ello so now you have to cr you have to basically do serious soul introspection this month and that's why it says you're going to cry your mother and your father for this month and what happens is once you do your spiritual work of the month of elo you pray you study you give extra charity you do extra mitzvot then you come to the level of whether you create the intimacy what is the intimacy intimacy mean it's referring to the the union of a kadhishborohu the infinite part of hashem and the shrina the part of the sun that dwells in this world which practically means it's referring to the union of the jewish people and hassem and we have the ultimate union the complete union as it says israel via rise of the country that the jewish people and the torah and hashem are all one up to the ultimate completion which is going to be when the shia comes like we're going to like the river quotes the verse that we're going to hear in the cities of judah and in the outskirts of jerusalem the voice of of joyous and celebration of the katana and the color we're going to have the ultimate union which happens through the ability of the month of ellos so here you see the importance of this month of ello to do our triva to to to read our psalms to pray to give extra charity and this will create the greatest union between us and hashem now there are brings a beautiful verse from the uh from the prophet kohelet from king solomon and he says over there as follows the world he gave into the heart our heart in other words that everything that takes place in the world everything that takes place in the world it exists in the heart of each and every one of us and what does that mean practically so just like you have the idea of going out to war which basically means to transforming and conquering the world and making the world a godly place for hashem so the same thing also it applies to us in our personal lives i know what does that mean practically so whatever brings from the altar of and liquid to eternity says as follows that every single person has two souls we have the godly soul and we have the animal soul and what does it mean you're gonna go out to war which means basically our job is to take our holy soul and to transform the animal soul since we have two souls the godly soul and the animal soul so going out to war means that the godly social you are running our life but not only should the godly soul run the life but we should also transform the animal soul that the animals all shall be connected to hashem services one second what are we saying we're making a statement we have a godly soul we have an animal soul and the godly soul's job is that the goddess also lead our life and to transform the animal soul jefferson one second we know it says in the zayer and we actually say it in the in the prayer which is called mine allah say um we go to resting places of holy sadiq so it says over there gufa de la hoya it's in aramaic which means our body is holy what are we just saying that the godly soul is going to running the soul that's the goal and transform the animal soul transform the body but it says in the zorah clearly that the body is holy and in those the the nephews of bahamas the animal soul is is the the animal soul of the of human being as we call you didn't give the service like a jewish nephew bahamas in other words besides the fact that we'd says in the story that the body is holy another it's referring to the nephesh which is the lowest level of this of the soul but and and obviously the the the is a higher level but the body is holy but in other words even though the the body and the animal soul is is is holy sheriff swings his lips and he says follows even though desire says that that that the body is holy but the fact is it is holy but the problem is the physical coarseness of the body and the physical coarseness of the animal soul covers up and conceals the holiness so yes the godly soul is holy and the animal soul and the body is also holy the problem is it's covered up it's concealed and in other words and not only that that the never survivors comes along and says hey one second i actually come before the godly soul and like it says in tanya clearly and what is the same time in the beginning of tanya but never shall say this be israel the second soul that we have that's the one that's a part of hashem on high in other words which one is the god which one's first the animal soul and which one the second the godly soul and so what what comes first the names of bahamus is first and actually that's his argument i'm first nervous mohammed says first and the godly soul came afterwards so since the the animal soul is covered up and concealed and it thinks it's actually better and it can disguise itself that's why we have to go out to war with the animal soul and the godly soul has to go ahead and deal with the animals how to transform the animals so the animals would realize yes you do have potential but you're covered up and you're concealed godliness is not revealed now so obviously if we want to go ahead and transform that the godly soul should be the the the active force the animal soul should be transformed with the animals to realize that it's all about godliness even though in potential yes it is very very holy but it's covered up when is the time to do this spiritual war so remember the time to do this spiritual war is during prayer like it says clearly now quote from the time of prayer that's the time to to to transform the animal soul and like like it says in the torah that the yaakov says that i took the land from from the amorites with my sword my with my bow and my arrow and um and the targum uncle says it's referring to the idea of prayer in other words through prayer you go ahead and transform the animal soul and that's why when a person prays every single day when do we pray you don't pray once a week once a month that's why we pray every single way why do we have to pray every single day because what happens is this is a very very powerful insight you can say this i prayed yesterday i prayed last week i'm going to pray tomorrow i have to pray today and never says no because the fact is every single day when you wake up you're a new human being and because you're a new human being so true the godly souls are no human being but the animal soul is also a new human being so you have to go ahead and transform it again from a new so what happens it's amazing you go to sleep you're all inspired you send the shema life is great you have an amazing day you get up in the morning let me just start my day and the answer is no no god the soul woke up brand new the animals so woke up also with new tricks so therefore you have to go ahead and pray that the godly source will lead your life and the animals also remember that yes it is godly but the concealment's on it you have to peel away the concealer so the animal soul can also service them and that's why you'll go out to war on your enemy it wasn't mean practically to deal with your life that your godly soul shall be the one leading your life and the animals also follow suit to whatever the godly soul wants now god goes on to say as follows what we learned before this war is what kind of war we started to muhammad it's an optional war rashi said it's an optional war in other words so therefore wasn't there we have to translate it on a practical level as well on another practical level we have an optional war so what what what is the practical level of the optional awards the first we spoke about that the godly source will run our life and the animal soul should be transformed by the godly soul what is what's the optional war where's the optional part so the optional part is so the the the war is the initial war is when you want the godly soul to transform the animals because the animal soul is an animal soul but what's the optional part so i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate where it says there's a whole spiritual transformation that takes place things that you're allowed to do kosher food anything which is kosher anything which is a pro what are you allowed to do but nevertheless even though you're allowed to do it you don't do it and those even though you're allowed to do certain things and you don't do it that's called transforming a situation so let's say for example something's not kosher you're not going to eat it that's where the godly and the soul comes to answers no you want we're not eating it we all need kosher here we talk about your body eat it it's kosher and you're ready to make a blasphemy so you know what even though i'm allowed to have but i'm going to i'm going to abstain i'm going to abstain why because i want to dedicate more time to learn and to pray and to meditate i don't have to i can sit down and do it but i'm going to sanctify him i'm going to create a godly experience in other words so this is a whole different level why is that never explains it this what's the power of kaddish by going ahead and stating something he technically could have trevor explains explains it based on what's explained many many places in kabbalah and specifically he says the the rebel marash the uh the the urban rash explains that one of his classic works and he uses the example of the we know that for example there's uh we have the the the torah it has 613 commandments 248 the positive threes are negative and then you have mitzvoids to rabona the rabbis put in certain misfolds so it explains the power and the superiority of the rabbinic mitzvahs over the over over over over over the the missiles which are ordained by god and he explains this when it comes to the mid-slice from the torah the godly mythology so we know there's positive commandments and he works called the mitchell say and just negative commandments and it's explained in many many places and especially the altar explains it at length in the torah that there's a certain power in the negative precepts over the positive precepts why is that because when a person does a mitzvah a positive mitzvot so you're doing a password you're bringing in godly light every time you do one deposit message you bring in godly light the light you're bringing in is a light that fits the vessel a light that fits the vessel of the midsole you did the vessel is a vessel for that light and the light fits into the vessel so what does that mean in kabbalistic terminology that means the light is a mug it's a limited light and it fits into the vessel that's a positive missile so a positive mix is a finite light into a finite vessel on the other hand when a person abstains from doing something that that you shouldn't be doing and as you observe one of the negative precepts so then the power to abstain like don't do this is much stronger than just doing a mitzvah you're doing that so fine this is the mitzvah the light went to the vessel when you abstain what vessel is there you're not doing it when you do a mission you're quantified this is the mitzvah it's the lightness of the vessel when you're abstaining the power is so so powerful that it's it's it's it you're creating literally a infinite light and that's why because it's an infinite light it does not go into doing a specific action you're just not doing what you're doing is you're not doing something you shouldn't be doing and you and you're not transgressing so another goes like this in a positive commandment it's a light fits in the vessel in a negative precept it's an infinite light does not fit into the vessel now so the parts in order to create a light that fits in the vessel you do a positive commandment in order to create an infinite light you do a negative precept you can get both the positive commandments bring the finite light in the vessel and the negative is the infinite light however when you when you go ahead and you do wonder mitch voice which rabbinic commanded us to do it over here what happens you end up with both qualities you have the power of the negative precept because it's infinite it's not one of the missiles in the toro but you also have the power that's a finite light into a vessel because what's the essence why the rabbis come in and put in a certain uh mitzvah whether it's purim hanukkah or or arab or washing our hands or whatever whatever it may be what's the purpose because they were trying to take away and push away some darkness they don't why why they why are they coming in to add more things to do because there's darkness in the world so they want to push away the darkness so in other words because of the light that's being accomplished by the by rabbinic commandments is infinite just like the light of a negative precept on the other hand you're you are doing something whether it's hanukkah candles whether it's area whether you're washing your hands etc so on one hand it's it's it's you bring in the in from the light but then again it's it's a light which goes into a vessel and that's why it says in the talmud that to observe the rabbinic precepts is more stringent than observing the the the torah precepts or like which were like another expression says that the rabbinic precepts are more beloved than the the torah precepts in other words why is that because it's not that they're more strict urbanic precepts but it's the fact that it pushes away darkness which is accomplishes what the negative priesthoods accomplish so you're bringing in the infinite light but also the beloved because it brings in that light into a vessel now so that's what they explain the difference between the rabbinic commandments and their biblical commandments then the biblical commandments the the powers of commandments accomplish the light in the vessel the negative is the infinite light the rabbinic have the power to fuse the two it brings in the infinite light into a vessel so the same thing driver says applies when a person is kaddish you decide to take on a certain custom or to go ahead and sanctify something you don't have to so by doing that you're bringing in the infinite light into a vessel powerful now to take it a step further just like this it's known that the seven mitzvot the rabbinical mitzvos when did they start they started much later after we received the the torah commandments in other words when did we receive it after unfortunately the jewish people um went down like to like a lower level even the laws are for example to make the area of around the community are washing your hand that was established by king solomon and by referencing king solomon says that king solomon sat on the on the throne of hashem but fact is king solomon came after king david and reference to king david was a much higher time because it says in the torah clearly that in the prophets that it was beyond hashem elijah skill that he's on a much higher level in other words and the question is why is that why is it that it only came afterwards and the answer explains very simple because what's the whole idea of her been a commandment that that's much more powerful than the biblical commandment because that can only come when the darkness is greater because when it becomes so dark so yes it's dark but the purpose of the darkness is to bring in a greater level of light and by through the darkness you're able to bring in a much more powerful light and because it's darker and because there's more challenges specifically in the darkness of exile the seven rabbinical commandments were instituted so that we can bring in the infinite light into a fine of that vessel and the rest of the same thing applies with all different the decrees and different customs um that that were established and they were were put upon us through great leaders throughout the generations which includes the concept of kadesh anytime you're able to do something you refrain so by doing that you're actually bringing in the infinite light and you're bringing it in to a practical physical vessel so you never finish over and he says very beautifully like this when we do our complete spiritual work which means we go out to war on our enemy and as we so and we're successful in making the world a godly place and obviously by doing by not only by not only by by transforming our animal soul but transforming the world but we take neutral moments and we share its form it's we're bringing the infinite light into the finite world we come to the next torah portion which says kisabayalaris we're going to come into the land of the land of israel which is referring to the redemption the true redemption the complete redemption which is going to happen through mashiach and kenu and then what happens we're going to go into the land of israel be able to fulfill the mitzvah because bringing the first first the first fruits and we're going to be able to fulfill it the missiles like we're going to do like comes like like it says the prophet says we're going to do the mitzvah commits we're going to do the mitzvah like the will of hashem now even though the bits of requirements it's only the beginning of their void you're bringing you know from the first little fruits but afterwards what happens is you come to the tremendous abundance like the prophet says hashem is going to make the waters of israel much much greater and much wider as we know we're going to have then the additional three lands of eretz keaney knees and they're ever finished by saying this is all going to happen in a revealed way as the prophet says the neglect hashem and all flesh is going to see in other words not only the eyes are going to see godliness but literally the flesh is going to see godliness like it says but more than that what's going to happen is literally our flesh is going to feel and see godliness and when is that going to happen that's going to happen by the redemption and the true redemption the complete redemption which is going to happen with mashiach kenu and the rubber finishes off by goliadan literally in our generation so again once again a beautiful beautiful beautiful pacific discourse thanks for joining us and let's hope that as river said our next class will be in your shalom have a great and blessed week
