welcome to this week's classics of this
we're going to be learning this week a
very special beautiful and deep
kabbalistic civic discourse from the
rabbit the name of the hasidic discourse
is called bhagavan
shalom the rebels said this hasidic
discourse
and shabbos paseo
which was the 23rd day of the month of
kislev which was also the shabbos that
blessed the month of davis in the year
tough shrine llaman hey 47 years ago so
in the dream
the chief
butler the bartender tells you sadiq
that he sees schleicher cerrigan in
other words he sees a vine and on the
vine there are three branches and he
says the echocas i know him i took the
grapes the estrada oyster malcolm's
power and i squeeze them into parry's
cup
so the rubber brinks on the outer ribber
that he brings from the zoa that the zoa
says that one that sees
in a dream
white grapes is a good sign for him
however if someone sees dark
grapes that's obviously a dark sign for
the person
and since in the dream the the butler
the bartender saw white grapes so
therefore joseph knew that it was going
there was a good dream and good things
were going to happen to him
so jefferson is as follows
since
the verse that speaks about where he
took the the grapes and he squeezed it
and the paris cup
is coming in continuation where he said
beforehand about he saw the vine and
three branches
so obviously there's a connection to it
what's the connection the rep explains
as follows
with an introduction what it says in the
the commentaries of the zohar
based on what it says in the zohar that
was this that the verse says
that on the undivine there were three
branches
it's referring to three different levels
in the jewish people as we know in the
jewish people are divided up into
kohanim priests livium levites the
israelis and israelites
so the three branches represented three
different types of jews koya name levi
and the israelite
so the altar asks one second
we all know
that a priest does not want to drink
wine
here we're saying the three branches
represent queen of the australian the
priest can't drink wine
and to make the question so to speak
even stronger because on one end you can
say okay it's a dream why does a dream
have to be related to reality but we
know that everything that exists in the
world comes from a higher source and
everything that takes place in the
highest comes down to this world
so obviously there is a connection in
other words what's the difference
between the priests and the levites
because we know that the way the priests
serve hashem in kabbalistic language is
called they serve as members of the liba
with a tremendous love for hashem
a love from their heart
and spiritually what does that represent
on the physical plane in this world that
represents the idea of oil
shemin
so koyanim that serve hashem with
roosevelt with the with the awakening of
the heart with love for hashem that's
represented by oil
not wine however when it comes to the
levites that serve hashem and how do
they serve hashem they serve in the
temple
a temple with what would would share
with singing
and we know that in order to say really
shira you have to praise hashem you only
the only way you can really praise
hashem is if you drink wine so the
levites are connected to the wine
however the priests are connected more
to oil so even though we we see a
connection between the levites and the
israelites because they're both
connected to obviously they have wine
but then the question is ben to support
the question what is the connection
between the priests and wine priests
have nothing to do with wine they're
more oil
so jebus says it's possible you can say
that the truth is that the priests don't
have anything with wine they have to do
with oil however when you're talking
about the wine
when it's still in the grape you know so
to speak from when god created the world
which in on the kabbalistic level what
is it called
when the wine is still in its in its
source within the grape before it gets
squeezed and it comes out and that's
what we're referring to here you know in
the branch where the before he took it
and he squeezed it so what what what
type of what type of wine was it with
incident source it's referring to
abba we know that in the spheroids the
first sphero if you don't count casa the
first one is
called abba
is called
ema
khachman is called father bean is called
mother and from there comes out the verb
the six meadows
so in other words
the wine when it's in its source is
connected to which sphere of the sphere
of
from there comes out the six six
emotions
so sins we're talking about the wine the
way it's in its source
not the way it comes out because when it
comes out it's already been uh in its
source it's kahma so therefore you
therefore the client who do have a
connection with wine not the wine the
way it comes out as a drink but the wine
the way it's in its source and the level
of
and from there comes out eventually the
six meters
why is that never explained as follows
because the
acid we know akane was all about
and
that's the level of
and that's why we know in the torah for
goshman if someone gets a leprosy and
you have to purify the leopard from
leprosy so what do you do
an educated person will come tell you
it's pure it's not poor it's irrelevant
once you have you have a definition
maybe from a wise person in order to
proclaim the person pure impurity you
have to bring him to the priest only
after you bring him to the priest and
the queen and the queen says the person
is pure then the person becomes pure why
do you have to come to a priest because
since we're dealing with leprosy the
only one that can create purity
comes from a queen why specifically
mclean because a coin a priest is
connected to which sphere of the spirit
that's the way it's connected to its
source of the way it connects
so again so what do you see from here
that when it comes to
wine
when it's in its source
it's connected to
abba with hesed and the queen doesn't
have a connection to it because kaine
mchasten
so now you see just to clarify before we
go further because it's a deep
kabbalistic discourse the first point
there was making is that the zoya says
that the three branches are referring to
queen and livium israelim so he asked
what what does that what does it do with
clayton cranium is are not connected to
wine and the answer is yes they're not
connected to wine the way it comes out
but the way it's in the source which is
and then the claims do have a connection
so now you see why what makes sense from
the zorus is creating the venus i'm
talking about the way the wine comes out
it's talking it's source and it's
sourced because it's kahma
abra with khashog that's why they kind
of have a connection to the three
branches
now what does it say afterwards so the
the he says in his dream
that the the cup of power is in my hand
i took the grapes
and i squeezed them into paris cup
and he explains over there
that we know what is para on a spiritual
level so powering a spiritual level is
come from the word of pre of these galas
power represents the idea of revelation
totally revealing whatever was concealed
in other words in the spheroids which
sphero is specifically for the ten
sphere is connected to idea of
revelation so we know maokos the last
zero that's all about revelation because
you're taking everything from all the
spheres and malcolm's you you're you're
you're um leading it to the next world
so malchus is revealing everything from
before
or like the expression is that you
reveal kolnohirim all the lights all the
energies from before gets revealed well
specifically to malchus so malchus
represents
revelation and malchus revelations
connect to the parry on a spiritual
level
now in what is the practical application
of malchus so we know that it says
that the
mouth which is deeper speech is
connected to malchus why what's the
connection because you have let's say
you have great ideas and feelings etc no
one knows how do people know when you
talk about it so speaking reveals your
in-depth thoughts
ideas feelings etc so speech is
connected to what the idea of malchus
because you're revealing what's hidden
so never ask a simple question one
second
what are we saying that
is connected to speech why because
you're revealing but thought also
reveals
you have deep deep concepts deep
feelings before you speak it out
the way you reveal at the first level is
thought
so how come we're saying that molecules
are specifically connected to speech and
not necessarily to thought in other
words because we know that in thought
there's also letters not verbal
articulated through your speech but
there's also letters in thought you
think with letters
obviously it's more internalized
those even though in relation to
somebody else you can think all day long
the person doesn't know what you're
thinking because that's because that
that's obviously concealed from the
other person you know nobody knows
what's in your heart nobody knows what's
in your mind but so so in relation to
someone else makshaba thought is
concealed but for yourself
it's revealing it's revealing your ideas
it's revealing your emotions to yourself
and in the thought there is already
letters
notice what does a letter mean that
you're revealing what you have within
your intellect within your emotions and
whoever quotes the verse is us boicker
which means letters reveal and makshava
seemingly also reveals so why is mauro's
specifically associated with dieber not
necessarily
and the ruby explains very very
similarly sounds like this
because what is malchus
means you're revealing
but where are you revealing to so if you
have the ten series let's say in the
world about silos
so malchus which is the last sphere in
the world of ourselves it doesn't reveal
it to the world about silas
what it does is it reveals it to the
next world the world of bria
and then the same thing also when you go
through all the spheres of the world of
brio malchus reveals it to the next
world of yatsera and the same thing also
when you finish the world of yatsera
malchus reveals it to the next world the
world of asea so malchus represents
revelation but specifically revelation
to a new world
now thought
yeah thought reveals but reveals to
yourself
so it's not really yeah it does it does
have the component of revelation but
your relation to yourself so it's not
really connected to malcolus marcos
reveals to the next world deeper reveals
to someone else like another world your
world someone else's world so that's why
you see that malchus is associated with
deeper speech and not necessarily
thought
however
is really it's all about it's all
internalized within your own world
and that's what you see specifically
let's say you have a pain
in your hand or your foot
so your speech is not affected by it but
you thought it bothers your thought
why because your thought is still
connected with you and there's no
division this is my foot this is my hand
this is something else the thought is
connected to every part of yourself why
because thought is really more still
unified with you
deburr is already out of you and you're
not affected by a pain that you have
so this is the this is why malchus which
is connected more to deeper
speech and
is connected to paris why because paris
is all about revelation
revealing it to the next world so
malchus is connected to paris parish
connects the molecules
in other words
take for example the world about silas
all the powerful lights about attila's
through malchus it gets revealed in the
next world or for through d bird gets it
through speech you get you reveal to the
next world
in other words the idea is
the way it gets revealed in the world of
brio yitziro and narcia and the
expression of hashem you purring from
there except if there it spreads out so
malchus is all about going to the next
world and spreading out and revelation
which is connected like the apari
however when it comes to thought that's
thought it's like in the world of
godzillus the world of unity thoughts
don't go to the next world
thoughts reveal within the world but
they don't they don't necessarily reveal
to the next world so again just to recap
because there's a deep concept in the
screen the next paragraph is going to be
built on this so what you're ever saying
is
that that um that parrot
represents what malchus
and like we see like deeper and
specifically deeper what kaz means it's
a revelation to a new world
power reveals to the next world market
to the next world deeper to someone else
not makshaba which is basically a
relation to yourself
now so after he explains in depth that
what is pyroid pi represents malchus now
we're going to understand why the
escrati squeezed
the grapes into the cup of parody
and us remember what we just learned
before
where the grapes come from comes from
the branch and in the branch represents
queen of living israel
and the queen we learned was worldwide
was the level
of
and that's why it could be connected
so nobody explains like this
so he so power is about revelation
he squeezed the cup he squeezed the
grape into the cup of paris
what is the cup of power referring to
what is a cup a cup is a vessel
of a hebrew it's called a caylee a
vessel so it is he squeeze it into the
cup to the vessel
of what of malchus
and what is he receiving he's receiving
the wine and what do we learn what is
the wine we're talking about we're
talking about the level of a claim the
way it's in its source such that it's
coming all the way from from from from
abba from kahma so in other words a
spiritual image
of
the the the dream is
that you have the highest level the
branch where the wine isn't sourced with
this
and it's going into pirates as molecules
and it's going into the vessel of
malthus
[Music]
why do you so why do you need it has to
go into the cup because in order to draw
down the most powerful and and and
lights from the highest level from khaka
from abba you need to have a vessel what
is the vessel the vessel of the cub
and that's why he said the estradas
inaudible squeeze the grapes why do you
have to squeeze the graves
physically at the screen what does being
spiritually squeeze the grapes
because the reality is normally what do
we know wine is really connect the
wine is connected to guru
so if he didn't squeeze the grace
already have you would have gura
left the left side you would have you
have been that's what what's the wine
comes from workers grapes
wine
generally speaking is the level of bino
and we know from bina comes over there
all the judgments come from meena
and that's what we know the closest on
the left side bena what's in the the if
you look at this
so being on the left side
comes on the bena so the wine is
connected to the venom which is
connected to
so you're talking about the the
severity
of beeno and from there all the
judgments come from there all the
judgment come from the left side so what
did he do over here to uh to to get rid
of the judgment the escrow
he had to squeeze the grapes wasn't he
had to squeeze it what does squeezing
represent
he had to
squeeze it and we should go over to the
side of khasid
and
which comes from
that sweet sweetens the gavurath from
the left side of bina
and so what is what does the s cut
represent or every escrow represents the
idea of bitter when a person is able to
accept and be humbled that's that's
because we know b knows all about your
idea and your your your points and the
way you explain it
represents what humility
you know made up of two words
like what is it
representation of real humility so the
eschat by squeezing it
he was able to go to the level of
which cochran represents the idea of
humility
and that's why it says in the verse
in the in the vine there were three
branches
y3
so we already learned before the clean
lady israel but why specifically the
idea of three it could have been one it
could have been two it could be four why
simply three because three represents
when you when you unify
and you put together
and you intertwine all three different
routes because i'm right in the light
you have the right
you have the left and you have the
center so the idea that there was three
branches is that all the three branches
were on one vine you're unifying all the
sides which again like we learned before
one hand represents the queen and the
libyan the australian queen we know is
the right kha said the libyan is the
left gubura and the australian hopefully
is in the middle tiferas
and then you have also we know it says
brought out another place that the three
branches represent avraham which is
the middle one to ferris
and another place it's actually
referring to the three different
festivals
but the point is whether it's whether
it's crayon levine israelim or it's the
or where it's avermeets
or three festivals pesach and sukkot
the point is that you're bringing in all
three different components right left
and center and you're unifying that
you're unifying them
by unifying them all and by creating the
real unity what you do is you sweeten
the judgments and then you're able to
bring them from the highest level
which is qased and you're able to
sweeten the bean and the guru into
malchus
this is basically the point that the
altar more or less explains in that sort
of this course but now david's gonna
explain the connection
based on this idea
he's gonna explain the connection what
this has with youtube slave
which has to do with the arthur webber
and also passage by jason by passionate
by jason because therefore says we know
that utes kiss live always is connected
to somehow the partial variation and
explicitly this week it's in the middle
of the week it's like this year it's
also the middle of the week in other
words what happened you get this kiss
live we know this cuz it was a day at
the altareba who was teaching uh
teaching judaism and considers and he
was arrested for just because he was a
jew and because he was teaching judaism
and said this and on youtube he was
freed
what happened to his free so we all know
it was what he the famous the famous
verse from psalms where it says pada
beshallah nafshi
that the altar said pada
i was redeemed but how was i redeemed
not in a way there was a major war but
charlemagne and peace and like trevor
says when although wrote the famous
letter that he wrote when he went out of
prison and he wrote like this when i was
reading psalms and i was reading the
verse that says
pada bishol imnapshi that god redeemed
my soul in peace before i started to
read the next verse
i was told i'm free and i went out free
and he finishes off he went out with in
peace
from god who is peace it's all about
peace it's all about unity from all
different sides right left and center
it's all peace it's all connected
and we know that the talmud says the
talmud teaches us this verse which has
pardoned inshallah
then redeem them peace and talmud says
as follows
whoever is occupied with learning torah
and gamila
acts of charity and generally refers to
all the mitzvahs and you pray with the
community
so i i consider as if
that you've redeemed me
and my children from the nations of the
world so every time we learn torah three
and we do mitzvot give charity and we
pray with the community hashem says
you're taking me out of gulas you're
taking me out of when the screen isn't
in exile
in other words robert explains
padava shaolin
taking hashem out of golis how do you do
it doesn't say just learning torah or
just doing mitsubishi just praying no
you have to do all three why all three
because you know torah is the middle
column
acts of kindness charity is the right
column
which is in place of all the sacrifices
that's the avoid that's when we do work
so that's the left column
in other words when you have the
unification and where it's all in sync
all three different components right
left and center and notice the center is
torah and right which is the middle
and prayer that's part of ashland that's
how you redeem it in peace and never
says by doing these three avoidance
working on the right and the left and
the center torah
learning torah giving charity doing the
mitzvoth and praying this will prepare
the world to have the ultimate peace and
one we're going to have the ultimate
piece we're going to have the ultimate
piece and the shirt is going to come
a god willing in our generation so
obviously it's a very very powerful
civic discourse whole in
kabbalistic insight into the three
branches what they represents the cup of
paris represents what pi represents but
you see that you have the power
by bringing in
from the highest level of khakma of
khasid
into the lowest level of malchus
and through that you sweeten the
judgments of guru and bina and by do by
and the way we do it is by practicing
humility how do you practice humility
because the fact is everyone's either
right oriented or left-oriented or
sentient oriented but when you focus on
all three components
you know you do the ones you're great at
you do that but you do the other ones as
well you make sure to learn to which are
center oriented you make sure to do acts
of kindness which is right oriented and
you pray you do all three it means
that's the way you create real humility
when you create you real humility we
have the power to sweeten any judgments
and by sweetening the judgments we're
blessed with a great life and whoever
says ultimately we'll have the greatest
peace with mashiach sid keno revealing
himself and taking us through your
shalom and next class will be in your
shalayim iraqis have a great and blessed
week
