welcome to our class on this this week
we're learning a beautiful hasidic
discourse of the rebbe
the name of the disciplic discourse is
called nosorius
the rebels said this specific discourse
in shabbos parishes
you'd be the twelfth day of the month of
sivan in the year tough shin
meme exactly 30 years ago
so the discourse is based on the verse
where it says
you should elevate the head of the
family of gershon
gam heim also them so the alta rebbe
in the famous classical
safer the cote toyra um in the beginning
of the torah portion of nasa's royce
which we call the couture the hasidic
torah portion of the week
so he asked a very simple question why
does it say
gam heim also them it should just tell
us
elevate the head what does mean also
them also
he asks why when it comes to mirari
doesn't it say you should elevate their
head as well
why only by gershon and also says again
game
also them so he explains as follows with
an introduction
we have to understand the whole idea and
the purpose of the mishkan
the tabernacle and the tabernacle
and it's traveling in the desert
in other words the michigan that was in
the table in the desert
so the miscon was traveling with the
jewish people
we're on the way to the
destiny the goal to go to the land of
israel
and as it's called eretz neishevis a
land that we dwell in
you don't let dwell and live in the
desert you travel in the desert
so we're traveling in the mishka with
the mishkan in the desert
to come to the earth's natives which is
the land of israel
why do we have to understand this very
simple because
even though it's a story of the past
this exactly
story of the past the technical story
the physical story the past we also have
this spiritual avoider which we're going
to learn what the spiritual of what
is a spiritual work is we also have
today
why because the fact is we know
that even though there was a mishkan of
the past but the mishkan the dwelling
place of hashem
exists within every single one of us
as the verse says clearly
hashem says i'll dwell amongst them it
doesn't say
specifically singular into the
tabernacle but it says plural
in them what does that mean within them
so we know it means
that hashem dwells within each and every
one of
us so just like then the tabernacle
was a means to take us through the
desert so we should get to the land of
israel
the same thing also the hashem is
dwelling within us
while we are here now in galas it's a
preparation
for our destination what's our
destination
the tremendous revelation that's going
to take place
the ocean lover in the future where
mashiach comes
because what's going to happen comes
when mashiach comes
all the all the
components that are not with the will of
hashem
is going to totally be um naught
and nullified as
the evil the the impure spirit
hashem is going to take away from the
earth
and what's going to happen then is so a
the e
the the impure spirit's going to go away
that's taking away the negative
but we're not going to be in a neutral
zone but the verse says continues
the verse says
it's going to be only good the faster
than kindness
for everybody so if that's the case if
there's not going to be anything in pure
and it's going to be only good and
kindness what are we going to be doing
then
when mashiach comes so jefferson says
clearly what's going to be our vote you
know what's going to be our spiritual
service mashiach comes
it's going to be ba and what kind of
early oath what kind of elevations
elevations and holiness so in other
words there's not going to be any
impurity
there's only going to be good in
kindness but we're gonna be busy with
higher level and higher levels of
holiness and kindness and goodness
and peace and happiness now
so what happened in the desert was we
were going to the land of israel
we're going to the holy place where
hashem is revealed so the preparation
for going to the land of israel was we
had to go into the desert
what was the purpose of going into the
desert to subdue
anything which is anything which is
counter to godliness
and by getting rid of the godliness we
prepare for coming into the land of
israel where everything is being
beautiful
and everything is godly why is that
because we all know it brings down and
he says
that the midbar the desert is the source
of i'll say it in hebrew yanika
sakhitaniyam
that anything external anything negative
is
all leaks out and leeches out from the
spiritual desert
like for example the rubber quotes the
verse and it says what happened in the
desert what was in the desert
there was a nakhosh sarov
the akrav snakes scorpions
uh fire et cetera and then it says with
c moines
there was a tremendous thirst because
there's no water
so what does that mean practically
obviously practically we know what it
means what does it mean spiritually
if those three refers to on a spiritual
level
the three impure clipper that cannot be
elevated that was obviously in the
desert
and the cement the thirst where there
was no
water is actually the fourth clipper
which is obviously
even worse now so that's the spiritual
desert so the desert resembles a three
klippot
nakhashar of akraf the fourth clipper
see mine
a thirst where there's no water and when
the jewish people
went in the desert and they had the
mishkan
the goal was to nullify
anything which is in it which is
inappropriate which is not godly and
which is not godliness
to nullify the three impure clippers
and even the fourth clipper like it says
in the oral law which is basically we
know the oral law is an explanation of
the written law
because the torah was given main points
the
written law the uh the written law and
the oral law has all the details
and what does it say interior what does
it say in the oral law
that the anonym the clouds that
accompany the jewish people in the
desert
what did the clouds do they would
destroy
all the negative forces all the music
anybody that wanted to harm the jewish
people the clouds destroyed it
in other words before the mishkan was
built
how did we get it get rid of all the
negativity hashem protect us with the
clouds of glory
and the clouds of glory destroyed and
obliterated
all the negativity what happened once
the mishkan was built
then we traveled as well but once a
mishkan was built then we had the ark
that was in the mishkan and the
tabernacle as we know
uh where it says when we take out the
turtle we say by yehib and saya harain
when the ark would travel what would
happen the futsuway vekka
all our enemies would get disappear the
torah has the power
to get rid of all the enemies obviously
after the mishka was built before that
it was done by the clouds of glory
now that was in the desert
and the desert prepared us to go into
the land of israel
but the same idea by getting rid of the
clipboard
getting rid of the negative forces and
bringing in torah into our life
we prepare the world
by getting rid of the clip out by
grinding in negative forces
for the assad law before mashiach comes
and we're not going to have any negative
forces we're only going to have positive
forces i'm going to keep on growing
higher and higher in a spiritual level
and as rabbit says we know what it says
in the prophets
that what's going to happen in la assad
lovely what's going to happen when the
shia comes
zarah brings a powerful verse from the
prophet isaiah and he says as follows
we know there's a hashem on the world
there's a god in the world
there's a mentor there's a teacher
there's a guide that runs everything
created the world maintains the world
so unfortunately in gallus there's the
khanaif
we don't see miraka our guide and our
teacher
but when mashiach says
that your teacher is not going to be so
to speak hidden but in the country
baha'i
necro we're going to see in a revealed
way our teacher our mentor because
godliness is going to be revealed in a
beautiful way
and as the altera explains in tanya
black and white
simple english what's going to be
messiah comes there's going to be
gillia lakus mamash literally
god is going to be revealed in a real
way instead of seeing
physical things materialistic things or
who
obviously has shown out the clip and
negativity what we're going to see
god and godliness in everything up to
the point of that rights in tanya not
only we're going to see
hashem revealed we're going to see the
revelation of the essence
of hashem himself that's what moshiach
is going to be all about
we're going to see feel and live with
hashem himself
and as the rabbit brings the famous
quote i'll say it in hebrew and i'll
translate it
we're going to see kayak happy el
beniful
in other words when something is created
you don't see the creator
but when messiah comes we're going to
see the creator and everything that was
going to create it
so when you're going to see for example
a mountain you're not going to see the
mountain
you're going to see a shem in the
mountain you're going to see a wall
you're going to see hashem
in the wall whatever you're going to see
you're going to see the the
driving force the real force behind its
existence
and the rabbit says which means a nif on
the thing that
exists is referring to all sader
histories
on all levels from the highest to the
lowest when you're going to open your
eyes what are you going to see you're
going to see
literally hashem and everything and
literally even in this materialistic
physical world the lowest world
because we know there's where god is
revealed brielle
he'd see or less and obviously i see it
this way hashem is totally not revealed
we have to work hard to see him
but when mashiach comes even in this
world
we're going to see kayaking
and like the rubber brings uh the way
it's explained
um the the the prayer that we say in our
holidays what does it say
the yeah
every person everything that was created
is going to know not only see we're
going to know das we're going to know
that you created us what is that
referring to it's referring to literally
this physical world
that even in this world
what's gonna be revealed is hashem now
how do we how do we make that happen
so what happens as the preparation
happens was by
building the mishkan building the
tabernacle which was in the desert
and the same thing also that was the
mystery of the past but the same thing
also like building the mishkan
which is in every one of our souls
internally
so when we build a mishkan within our
souls
we prepare the world that we will all
see
the kayak so now
obviously what was saying is that
there's the mishkan of the past
in the tabernacle but we each have a
mishkan within us
and by building our mishkan
we will see hashem god and godliness the
essence of
everything so we need to know what that
means practically the rebels going to
explain beautifully practically
what it means to build our mishkan to
build
our tabernacle within us so that we can
make
ourselves and the world ready to see
god and godliness and everything in the
world
so everybody explains his phallus and he
says like this generally speaking
in the mishkan the physical mishkan that
existed there were three components
again it was more but generally speaking
this three which we're going to be
speaking about in depth in this clinic
this course it says like this
what are the three components component
number one you had the clay hamishkan
you had the vessels of the mishkan
that's component number one
multiple vessels but generally vessels
then you had the ureas
you had the curtains the drapes in the
mishkan
second type of component the third
component is the korusham
the the wooden posts that were around
the mishka
now that's the generally speaking three
things the vessels
the curtains and the posts
what does that mean practically in our
serving hashem
so the vessels of the mishkan
which we know the highest and most
powerful vessel in michigan is what the
ark
what does the ark resemble the ark
resembles torah so whatever saying is
all the vessels resemble torah and
specifically the ark which is the most
important vessel in israel resembles the
idea of learning torah
that's the that's the vessels so the
vessels are connected to toyo
what is the the drapes what does that
resemble
that resembles prayer filo what's the
connection with drapes and prayer
because we know that drapes are markets
you hang drapes around and the prayer is
also market
it also encompasses us around us
why because when a person prays how do
you pray
when someone prays and someone's really
into praying you see them
like emotionally charged
in hebrew it's called the midos the
emotions are on fire
and meadows are considered it's a very
powerful insight
uh to reference the media is here that
midairs are considered
market now even though generally me does
has premieres your emotions but when
you're comparing since we mentioned
torah
which is more intellect and intellect we
know is internal so when it comes to
midos
emotions in in contrast to intellect
so midos are considered market and i was
in in reference to
torah tell you what we know was more
panemias and more internal how do we
know terror is more internal
because when it says about terror it
says
is within my inners within my stomach so
you see terrorism we take it in
internally
uh up to the point you know when you
learn torah how do you learn torah
just well ideas know you have to sit and
you have to learn and you have to
meditate
and literally becomes one with you so
torah is something which is more
premiums he becomes one with you
and me dies is something which is more
external
so that is so far again the um the
caitlin which is the torah is more um
connected to um
to to premius and the uh the drapes are
more market which is basically the idea
of the amigos
which is connected to prayer and um the
third thing is the post the crush him
the
the wooden posts that were in the
mishkan
that resembles humility
standing with humility so we have torah
which is connected to the ark you have
prayer which is connected to the drapes
externally
and then you have the post which is
standing at attention which is basically
humility
what's the connection with humility so
it
brings the verse where it says in the
torah it says we are ceases to crush him
you should make the post
made out of wood see the wood oil them
they're standing
what is standing mean so the rabbit says
standing
represents humility what does that mean
you're standing
you're standing strong on your position
learning you're using your intellect
prayer you're excited
humility is respect you're accepting
whatever hashem wants and has in store
for you
so based on this river explains why the
mishkan
was specifically from ate him they were
made out of cedar wood
but they were on them they were standing
specifically they were standing they
weren't
laying flat but they were standing why
there was a simple question what does
umda mean it's standing
one second we know that judaism is all
about
moving you don't want to be in the same
spot you want to be a mahalik
you want to be going and as we know the
verse says clearly even a sati
gave you some
where people that move where the people
that grow bane
amongst the ones that are standing which
is referring to angels
and as explained in many many places
that this is the
the power that the summer
has by coming down to this world because
when
before the neshama came down to the
world what does it say
hashem
it stood in attention and a modity it
says specifically it stood at attention
but when the comes down into this world
and it does its spiritual work then it
becomes a mahalak then it becomes
it's a mover that means it's elevating
from one level to the next
but so if that's the case if we are all
about growth
if we are all about mahalhim so why was
the mishkan made out of atseitim that
are on them
standing on one spot what's the message
there we're supposed to be
moving and represents like this
if we're talking about angels angels we
know they stand in the same spot
why because it says clearly srafim which
is referring to the angels on
them are standing me maloy and um
the metro says actually that one of the
reasons why the
the kuroshim are aimed at their standing
is because they can actually compare to
angels
so angels are standing and again the
metro says that
the crush and the posts are called on
them because they're like angels
and obviously because angels are
spiritual
and on a spiritual level that void of
the angels is to stand
attention whatever hashem says but on
the other hand the mishkan we know is
we're
in this physical world and in this
physical world you don't want to be
stagnant you don't want to be standing
you want to be moving
so if that's the case why were the
crushing made out of
shiten that are in them that are see the
words that are standing
so the rebel explains his and he says
something very very powerful
powerful idea because the torah is
trying to teach us
that the foundation the foundation
that's point number one
and the beginning of any service of
hashem
has to be i'll say it in hebrew and i'll
translate it
totally humbled to hashem
so again this the foundation
and the beginning of serving hashem you
want to
enter into relations with hashem you
have to show up hiney
i'm here hashem you're the boss
what is needed that's the way it starts
and if it doesn't start that way you
didn't start off right go back and start
again
so again this is key what you're ever
saying is that the beginning
and the foundation of serving hashem
showing up
you have to show up with humility
another country
that's why it says ate shritim see the
word that we're standing
because even though if you think about
what's an ace
what's what's wood wood comes from a
tree
trees grow in its nature a tree is
growing which is the opposite of
standing in the same place
but our job is to affect within growth
they should stand and they should be
humble to hashem
so yes even though we are by nature
we're growers and we're going to grow
but we're starting look at that tree
that tree was growing but when it stood
in the mishkan
it stood at attention the same thing
also you want to start a relation with
hashem
humility he nani here i am
and trevor says this component of
humility that we find in the mishkan
attack was standing at attention
was even more felt in the actual beitan
dash the mishkan was a traveling
tabernacle but even in the ultimate base
amigos that was built in jerusalem
why because the fact is look at the base
of mikdash how was it built
it was built from stone and it was built
from earth
and the fact and the fact is on a
literal level when you put a stone in a
pl in a spot
or earth it's much more standing once in
one
in one's place and it represents more of
a bittle it's even a deeper humility
and humbleness to hashem and it's like
the ever said to explain many many many
places
on base in the verse koires but
that the walls of our house are are are
strong
which and they explain the coin to this
that it's referring to the level of
humility
which was in the basement much greater
than the mishkan
so the beginning of the avoider is
humility it's in the mishkan
and even stronger in the basement that's
the way it starts
once you come with bittle once you come
with humility
once you come with respect and you have
and there is a bit of booklet
i mean we're talking intense real pure
organic
humility afterwards sure
you have to start moving you have to
start elevating you have to start
growing
and then you go to the level of urics
ureas is all about growth
emotions charged and we know that the
ureas are made out of
not only psy maya things that grow the
ureas were made out of actually the
height of animals
that had much more life force so based
on this rubber explains
why when it comes to benemi rory like we
asked the beginning of
this discourse it doesn't say no serious
race elevate the head
but by gershwin it says nasa is rash but
it says game also them
and who also like bene cross so nasa is
pure that's pranay kahas which what they
resemble
game is gershon they have they they have
not serious rights but only
so to speak second class of an
inequalized and benign reality there's
nobody else says why he never explained
beautifully and sounds like this
what is the avoider of bonney mirori so
if you think about the word mirari comes
from the maya
mar comes from from from bitterness
and when someone's bitter someone is
remorseful
that brings to humility so the avoid of
bene murray even though they were
complete they had everything but their
main avoid was
to be bitter the void of blame aurora is
what bitter
and because they were bitter they
represented humility
therefore what did what was the
benevolence job in the mystical
beautiful what was their job
they're the ones that carry the crush
him the post
the posts that were standing the posts
that were humble
so benedict represented humility their
job was to deal with humility
so since they were all about humility it
doesn't say no serious race elevate
their head
okay on the contrary what what was their
job
what did they engage with humility
you have to elevate their head they
represent humility
which is the opposite of elevating the
head it would be a contradiction
so that's what the name of our aria so
therefore but anyway there's no nucleus
right
walker is all about humility and their
job is humility
on the on the contrary where does it say
nausea
[Music]
deal with they carry the ark
what was in the ark the torah so
therefore
it says nasius raish elevate their head
because where do you elevate your head
where
do you transform your mind on the
greatest level
that's through toyota when someone
learns torah
you can literally transform and elevate
your head
to the highest levels so by bene cost it
says enough solutions not a physical
elevating the head
learning torah when you learn terror
that will elevate your head
and when it comes to brene gershoin it
says
elevate but game also them and does not
say yes
who is the protege of elevating the head
that's kahaas
learning torah not says of gershon is
connected to them
why not as they are their second class
of an acosta in reference to
elevating their heads why because what
was the what was the spiritual work
of gershon prayer
and when it comes to prayers of prayer
on its own you don't elevate your head
by prayer pray you call humility
but nevertheless what happens after you
pray after you pray
and you get connected to hashem then you
go learn torah so in other words the
elevating of the head
in prayer is only because it's going to
bring you afterwards to learning torah
and as you know it says
that your prayer is close to your bed
therefore
the difference you have also the idea of
some component of nelson's voice
so based on this job explains you know
this way it was the mishkan
toyota elevate the head tv
half and half and then humility and
never says this is basically what our
spiritual work
is every single day here you have your
mission statement
here you have your to-do list how you
should behave and how you should run
your day every single day
what's our value every day the way we
start ours day is
bittel we started a hiney hashem
what do you need for me i'm ready to
accept whatever you need to do the level
of what bene mirari
standing straight tiney and guess what
you start that way
you're in the door then what do you do
after you're ready
then you pray they avoid the girl string
and when you finish praying then you
come to the level of what learning torah
is and whoever explains
by doing this spiritual work starting
off with humility
and then praying and then learning torah
and we do this bemidji which is a quote
from the prophets
in the in the in the desert the physical
desert and the spiritual
desert and there's a specifically in the
time of exile time of goddess
and specifically in this last exile
and specifically the rubber says after
the previous rubber
announced the major proclamation
that we have to get ready for the
redemption and even took it a step
further he said
let's all stand ready for meshiac to
come
by doing our spiritual work humility
prayer and torah study we will come to
the
tremendous revelation what it's going to
be like when shia comes
which as we said that recorded the verse
in the beginning of the acidic discourse
from prophet isaiah
vahayu a necro royal
that our eyes are going to see in
everything hashem
and the represents and this is actually
interesting it's actually appropriate
right now because right now we just
celebrated shrewest we shall celebrate
mountain torah and represent this this
goes with shabbos after mutton torah
because rubbish says what happened to
martin torah when hashem gave the torah
hashem revealed himself and the
revelation that took place in mountain
torah
is on par and compared to the level it's
going to be like when
when mashiach comes and since
we are reliving these days now
and we're talking about it we're
remembering it so the references
therefore since we just experienced
mutton torah
so this year we were able to draw in the
tremendous revelation of matan torah not
past but literally in this year and from
here we have the power and the strength
that this is how it's going to be when
she comes
and especially when we add in our
spiritual work
in our spiritual desert in the three
areas
again humble humility bitter
trilla prayer torah study and
specifically
that takes it up an action he says by
learning premium satoru by learning
sydney's right now we're learning
this we're learning kabbalah learning
premium terror what's the power of
preemie satoru
because we know when it comes to
premiums of terrorists in
neglect there's a question back and
forth and an answer an argument et
cetera
in premium there's no questions there's
no answers there's no arguments
it's just seeing hashem and godliness
and like it's brought down the alpha
brings in tanya and garrus akhidesh
and he brings over the ear what it says
in the zaya that with this
book of zoya and siddhis and kabbalah et
cetera
we are going to go out of gullah's
barakami with compassion of hashem
and we're going to have the ultimate
redemption with peace
but true peace in a way that there's not
going to be room for any arguments
any war and like the river brings from
the uh
civic discourse of panda bashalim
redeem my soul and peace of the middle
arabah
and he explains over the year father of
shalom give me peace i want to have real
peace and he says the mithra rubber says
that the true peace is going to be when
when mashiach comes why because right
now unfortunately there's a lot of
impurity in the world
when mashiach comes the impurity is
going to go away
avi minarets hashama is going to take
away the impurity from the world
and we're all going to go to the holy
land
and in a way not only go to the holy
land
the verse of hashem is going to expand
the boundaries
and we're going to go to your shelian to
jerusalem miraculous the holy city
and like it says in the verse hashem is
going to expand the boundaries
and when is it going to happen the
rubber says clearly take care from
yad mamash it's going to happen right
away and hashem is not going to hold us
back even like the blink of an eye
and we're going to have the goola hamitz
the redemption the complete redemption
and the true redemption it's a
short classific discourse but it's a
very very powerful discourse
because they're ever showing us how we
can literally experience
today the hoyu enechra royos miracle
we can see godliness in our lives
three-step process humility prayer
and torah study and let's hope and pray
that we all practice
our humility our prayer our torah study
we're going to see the greatest
revelation
with meshiach
and hopefully god willing our next class
will be in yerushalayim iraqis have a
great
and blessed week
