welcome to our class and for this we're
going to be learning a beautiful acidic
discourse in the river the name of the
sydney discourse is called voracious
borough
the rebber said this hasidic discourse
in chaba is partial spacious
that year was the 27th day of tishrei
which was also the shabbos that blessed
the month of march
in the year tough shin member which was
exactly 37 years ago so again the
discourse is based on the opening verse
in this week's torah portion where it
says veracious in the beginning bharara
like hashem created as the shamayim the
heaven the essarets and the earth there
ever says we know
the different questions that are asked
in the different classific discourses
from the pre from the previous
urban
and especially of the previous rubber
bay on a specific discourse on this
verse gracious bar elekim of the year
tough shin gimmel which is basically 80
years ago and the quad the question they
ask isn't as follows
all the worlds
and all the the creations of the worlds
which referring to the people in the
world
on all levels and all the levels of
saturations like in all the worlds
are included
in the two
terms that's used in this week's torah
portion this verse has the shamayim arts
so everything that was created all the
worlds
all the people and all the any any any
living thing that exists all included in
the word shamayim heaven and our its
earth
why is that
because everything
in all the levels of say their histories
and all the levels of flow from world to
worlds from spirit to sphere from
anything that was created
everything is called shamayim
reference to the level of uh uh uh below
it
and everything is also called eretz
earth in comparison to the level behind
it so whatever level you're at there's a
higher level so therefore it's called
shamayim
and therefore it's called orange because
it's a higher level and every level has
a lower level therefore it's called
shamayim
now for example the rubber says let's
look at the four worlds about silas
briya yitzira nacia so the fact is
if you look at the worlds as as as a
whole as a unit briya you'd see rasia
atsilas the highest world compelled to
breed at syria's sea it's called
shamayim it's above it
the same thing also the world of riya
is called even though so absolutely
abbreviated syria
so
but on the other hand bria
even though it's it causes absilus to be
shamayim babri is also shamayim compared
to the world of yet syria because it's
above it
and and um
and in reference also the world of asia
as well
on the other hand bria is called eretz
compared to the world of artillus
and the same thing also with the
reference to the world vietcera it's
shamayim over asea but it's
compared to the worlds above it and the
same thing with the world of asea um
obviously is is considered arts compared
to the higher worlds now
so that's in general the four worlds
but in the worlds itself every world has
multiple levels
and that's why it says assassinating the
heaven the essence and as it says
i mean s so s is including everything
that's in the higher worlds the s is
including everything that's in the lower
worlds
in other words and and so so so shamayim
is a general term which anything that
something is above it it's called below
a sniffer the thing above is called
shamayim eric's the general term for
anything which is low which has
something has something above it now
so that's in general but and generally
speaking in reference to all and i'll
use the word in hebrew and all say there
are histologists all the levels that go
from one level to the next so what does
it say about everything it says
veracious in the beginning
hashem created essence
and it's brought down the medrush mantra
shrapnel says as follows rashi actually
brings in in in the commentary on the
torah and it says follows it seemingly
it should say racist the beginning
racism beginning so why you say be
racist what's the extra what's the extra
base so it's getting brought down in the
mattress and rashi brings it the reason
why it says the extra base before racer
is it's referring to the torah which is
called the beginning
and these in reference to the jewish
people are called beginning so baze is
referring to two things two things that
are that are before the beginning which
is torah and the jewish people
in other words the creation
of the heaven
and the earth all levels and everything
that's in the levels of the heaven and
the earth all
say the responses all different levels
any flow of energy
what's the reason for the base be
in
everything was created for the base
what's the base again everything was
created so um
so that we should learn torah
and we should do the mitzvos through the
jewish people so that's the reason why
it says be racist be racism means
everything was created all levels for
the two things learning torah and for us
human beings of jewish people to learn
torah and doing mitch voice
now
so what do we see
why did hashem create the world
hashem created the world all the worlds
of sham created hashem created it was
for the jewish people and to learn torah
so therefore just like
we explained before that shamayim you
have shamayim on multiple levels and as
you have higher on multiple levels till
you reach to the bottom you have orbits
on multiple levels obviously totally you
reach to the top so therefore you must
say the idea of shamayim where there's
multiple levels and uh there's multiple
levels on from on the lower side applies
as well to torah and the jewish people
and in the country
the division of shamai in multiple
levels of higher and multiple levels of
lower
is primarily by the jewish people
primarily in the torah and because
there's multiple levels by the jewish
people and multiple levels in the torah
that's why interviews yiddish
that's why it applies also in the world
so when originally in
interiors multiple levels as we'll soon
see in the jewish people there's
multiple levels of students see and
that's why in the world there's multiple
levels of
multiple levels of orbits in other words
it never explains like this the rubber
brings from uh
from toyota um in precious braces from
the altar rubber and it's explained in
many places as well that there is
specifically there is the level of
shamayim
and which is the higher level and this
level of arts
both in the area of torah and both by
the jewish people and there and ever
explains based on what it says material
what is the idea of shamayim a higher
level the lower level in torah so very
simple we all know there's the written
law
toyota
and tereshable
and the oral law so avid hershbach so to
speak as a higher level and teresh well
it's better it's a lower level
and not only that
in that itself it's so we learned before
it says s sasha mayam the srs it means
it's not just a higher level and a lower
level but there's multiple higher levels
and multiple low low levels so that
applies to terror as well
what has applied to her as well because
we know torah
is a
is huge you can learn your whole life
terry you'll never get to the end of it
toyr is technically infinite
and that and the infinite part of terror
applies both in the written part of the
torah look how many commentaries there
are in the torah the five books of moses
and the prophets and the same thing also
in turismo pan the mission and the
talmud look how many commentators you
can go you can go forever learning
deeper and deeper and deeper
there's literally and i'll say it in
hebrew it's literally believable there's
infinite levels
of torah both in the highest level and
both on the slowest level so that's we
find the idea in reference to torah and
the same thing applies to the jewish
people that there is there's the
shamayim there's the higher level in the
jewish people and there's the arabs and
the jerusalem the zora says the jewish
people
are divided up into 10 levels
and as the torah says
from the leaders of the jewish people up
until you have the wood choppers the
water carriers and israeli lists 10
different categories
in other words so therefore since
there's ten categories when it says russ
sheikham the heads of the heads of the
jewish people
that's referring to the shamayim that
the the heaven of the jewish people um
and literally rushed at their head
and the same thing also the shrivetaikam
the hedgehog tribes
why because
because a shavet comes from the word
from like a branch of a tree which is
connected to the tree
so again you have a higher level then
you have the the wood choppers and the
water carriers which are the lower level
the jewish people so you again you have
in general like this already says
there's ten levels so the higher levels
are called shamani and the lowest one is
called ariz or the lower compared to the
highest quality
and um
so that's generally by the jewish people
there was not only in general by the
jewish people there's different
categories of people somalia monarchs
but in each individual in every one of
us
we have both components the shamayim
part of us the higher level and there's
the areas the lower part of us because
the fact is we know that every single
person is called an oil molly everyone
every one of us every single jewish
person every person is a complete world
so in our world we have the higher part
of our world in the lower part of the
world
and not only that like it says in the
prophet it says as follows it says in
the prophet that the world hashem gave
nasa
god gave the world in the heart of the
person what does that mean that the
whole world
is dependent on our heart which means on
the way we serve hashem
in other words literally all the world
absolutely and syria asia all the
different parts of the world literally
up to this physical world that we're in
and like it says in the prophets clearly
hashem says
uh
i i shall the earth right but then he
says the adam alla barasi i i went ahead
and and i and i uh created a human being
and put him on the world put him in the
world so it says the adam
mankind aleya on the world borussia he
used the term rusty i created so berasi
is made up of five letters base raised
aleph sofiad so numerically it equals
613 which
which as we know the 613 commandments so
the rossi hashem created human beings
the jewish people in this world
so that but rossi we should observe the
613 commandments so the goal is that we
should observe the 630 commandments so
therefore
since all levels
of the styles are divided into two
levels higher and lower so the same
thing also
in the world is that way but in the
human being it's that way globally all
the people but specifically in every
single one of us there's we have a
higher and lower and that's why
every one of the jewish people
has
ten coins we all have ten ten ten powers
starting from
which is which is connected to the ten
levels of the jewish people uh as we
said before rashaic
um the the heads of the the tribes uh
the the wood shoppers the water carriers
in other words every single one of us
have the level of rosham
saying over here before we go for
forward you're ever saying is like this
and braces borrow the kim is all right
so everything is higher and lower and in
in as you go from one level to the next
in the world and people etc but then
each and everyone else is higher higher
higher higher and lower levels
now
this and
as you ever said it says beratious
brazil referring to the two races the
world was created for the terror and the
jewish people so in turkey different
different levels and in the jewish
people we were creating this world so
that we can go ahead and learn torah do
the mid's voice and and by doing that
obviously we make the world a godly
place now
whoever goes on to say as follows it's
explained in many many places
that why did hashem create the world
what was the reason i shouldn't create
the world so the so it's brought down in
many many places
that the ultimate reason
why hashem created
the world and all the different levels
of all the world etc
so there's different there's sillas
briya yet syria asea and everything and
all the details of it etc but the reason
why hashem created everything the
ultimate purpose was for
in this physical world this this low
world that there's no place that's lower
than this which means where god is so
concealed
and the goal is the reason why hashem
created this world is all the worlds to
create the world of god doesn't exist
god's not revealed and our job is to
make a dwelling place for hashem where
hashem is where is not revealed in other
words
in in terminology we're using this
specific discourse the ultimate intent
of hashem creating the world wasn't for
shamayim it wasn't for godly things
wasn't for heavenly things but the
reason why hassan created the world was
for arets the lower you get the darker
you get where god's more concealed
that's why hashem created the world so
it's everything is important everything
is created but what's the reason why
some created the world hashem created
the world for the darkness
now
so based on that thereby says
so you have to say
it also applies you know
just like hashem created the world all
the different levels the ultimate goal
was for the lowest level god's concealed
so that applies also to torah
and to the jewish people
in other words the main purpose of torah
is
learning torah we're in this physical
world learning toyota ngolos
learning targeting exile learning terror
when it's not popular to learn torah or
when you're tired specifically that's
called toxin bringing down terror down
to this world and that's what it says in
the mattress that if the the rabbinical
cord on high in heaven has a question
they don't rule up in heaven they come
down to this world to ask what does this
world the the the vessel in this world
say why because we're as the main
learning toyota just like in the world
the main world is down here that was the
intent the same thing also the main
terror is the terror that's learned in
the darkest places
and not only that even
take it a step further and deter the way
it's this world the ultimate of tyra is
not just learning the torah but terry
that brings to action because action is
the lowest level
because as we know it says clearly in
talmud god the goddess what's the
greatness of learning torah that brings
us to do action
the ultimate great power of learning
terrorism when we follow through and we
do the mitch voice shabbos kasras
twillin family purity all the laws the
goal of learning is to do the action
so that's in terms of the torah the the
goal is the lowest level the same thing
also when it comes to the human being
that the the ultimate goal the ultimate
our goal is that we physically should do
the mitzvah and all it's all about and
the expression is in hebrew hamas
the main thing is what the main thing is
the action
so again what are we saying is just like
when hashem created the heaven and the
earth the ultimate goal was for the
lowest level the same thing also terror
the ultimate goal is the way terrorists
learn down here and the way we observe
the mitzvot is down in this physical
world
so whatever says he'd like to connect
this
as follows
in reference to the verse veracious
barely came as a shema message so the
zora says
this verse in this verse you you have
india concealed a hinting to all the
dead ten series
all the ten spheres starting from
down to marcus are all of in this world
a word this verse a gracious borrow the
kim as my mozart's
and it's also including beratious the
beginning and as we know what is the
barishes what's the first what's the
first spirit the first fear is
what's higher than
kessa
up until the last era
the last three which is
in other words the zarya says this verse
is including bereishis the first sphere
which is kakuma or kessler and our
returns to the last sphere which is what
which is
now
saturn desire says that the verse
includes all the spheres never goes on
to say the same thing also with the
first the first word itself what's the
first word the first word is voracious
so what does brazil's mean again so the
zoro says bay's it's made up of two
words base the letter base and racial at
the beginning and whoever brings
from a um a classic work of the mithla
rebbe the second qabandraba in a book
called toyota and he says like this and
also in the in the discourse of the son
of saudi arabia that this that it says
be racist again the base before we
already learned it means a terror in the
jewish people but but what what
explaining this both in the middle of
the citizen and the exodus that the base
is referring to
a high level of
low level of
which basically is the high level of
spheres and the low level of spheres so
again so you see in this verse you have
all the spherics but then you also have
in the first word
and with two levels the highest and
lowest
and from the spheroids all the transfers
that are in this world or the highest
and the lowest
or the higher level
of
from there the spirits get drawn down
into the world
and now in the in the worlds as you know
there are four worlds which are
connected to the tennessee rice
in other words so it goes from the ten
spheroids into the world
how many worlds there are four worlds
atsilos breed cereal sea survivor says
why why is there four worlds because the
four worlds come
from the ten series
the reason why it's four because it's
coming from the ten spheres what's the
connection that the four worlds are
coming from the tents for you right so
there are explains like this
we know and so this is explained many
many places
that had the powerful name of hashem
yudh hay and above hay
from the powerful name of hashem the
four worlds are created
so the the powerful name of hashem which
has four letters
created the four worlds
but so so there was the four-letter name
of hashem
created the four worlds
but these four
worlds are connected like there was says
to the ten spheres so it's also
connected to the unit
what's the connection between the four
worlds that come from the four letter
name of hashem that's connected to the
ten spheres never explains beautifully
sounds like this
because if you take every one of the the
letters in hashem's name
the yud the hey the verb and the hey
so there's something which is called in
kabbalah
what's
so the letter you it is one letter but
if you spell out youtube i tell you
spell it out to me what does you would
spell it out it's spelled you'd
valid you'd that's
hey
is hey hey vav is
above and hey again is hey hey so if you
have your three letters hey you have two
letters above you have three letters and
hey you have two letters how many
letters you have you have a total of ten
letters so the ever is bringing out
beautifully what do we say the four
worlds come from the ten spheres so and
the four worlds we know come from the
four letters of hashem's name but the
truth is in revealed way it's four
letters but in the melody the four
letters that make hashem's name is
actually ten letters
so the same thing also applies to the
worlds that are created from the utk
vault
in other words services one second the
fact is we know that the worlds are
created from shameless him
as it says in the beginning of the
terror by your liking
but the but but the truth is the source
of create in the revealed state it came
from a kim but the ultimate power
consumption of k
so the four worlds that were created
are four worlds but it's also connected
to ten to ten to
the number ten why because all the four
worlds come from the ten spheres of the
world of godzillus
and even before that to the ten memories
the ten utterances hashem used to create
the world on this on a simple level
in the way it's written in the torah and
the fact is
the the verses say by your emir there
was ten times
so the four worlds come from again the
ten spheres of mathilus and it also
comes from the the ten utterances that
some used to create the world now
since ultimately so we see in the world
is the four connected to the ten the
four worlds coming from the fourth
letter name of hashem's name which comes
from the melody
and then also the worlds come from the
first creation world from from the ten
utterances now but since we said that
the world was created for the bays for
the terror and the jewish people so
obviously there must be the four
in torah
and in the jewish people and obviously
they're connected to the idea of 10.
where do we see that
so we see that there is the the the
expression
the literal meaning of the verse in
other words
you have a part of torah which is called
tradition
what is a terrorist saying that's one
level
then you have dr
different homiletics that you learn out
higher level you have remeds and a
higher level you have a site so there's
four different levels to see to
understand the connected term shot the
lowest level remes drew
which is actually called if you want as
like a uh
put the uh the first letter of each one
is called padres the orchard of torah
and the the torah is connected to the
four worlds of batsillas bri and siacio
now so you see four levels of in torah
the same thing also when it comes to the
jewish people therefore
four levels
like the altar explains clearly in the
laws of learning torah that every single
uh every single person
has to
learn four areas of torah it's not just
to learn to
shock rumors
not only that but says it's brought down
in the in the writings of the arizona
that in every one of the
uh uh every one of the parts of the
toyota remnants gruesome side
there's six hundred thousand
commentaries
six hundred thousand insights
six hundred thousand injuries in shocked
in remis in truth and in sight what's
the idea of six hundred 000 which
corresponding to the amount of souls of
the jewish people because this this
number 600 000 is like an everlasting
number which never changes
that's that's the main source of the
amount of people in on the soul level
and that's why one of the names of the
jewish people is called the israel what
does this role mean it's it's an
abbreviation yes she you spelled the
five letters
which means yes shishim rebuy oyster
satoru the six hundred thousand letters
in the torah in other words from the six
hundred thousand letters
that's how we get out that's how we get
our energy that's how we get our life
force
so in other words so you see that in
torah there's four in the four levels of
paradise chat remember
and then you which is connected to four
levels of the jewish people and this is
the opposite so we have four right the
four levels but what's the connection
with the 10 i never explains very simply
because what we just learned the 600 000
600 000 basically is is is is um
six to the square of the of the six
meters the small phase their optimum is
um hasselguard to ferris that's a
hydrosite so it's six to the square and
it's it times ten times ten multiple
times till you get to six hundred
thousand so you see that there's four
different parts of the terrier but it's
connected to what the queer of connected
to the idea of number of of ten
now so everybody says goes on to say
those followers so this is basically the
spiritual work that we have in this
world
that we have in this world that we have
the jewish people and torah i know that
the world was created
for us so that we should make an impact
in the world our hashem put us in the
world put us in the world gave us the
torah so we have three components we
have the world we have us and we have
the torah our job is to learn torah and
that's how we transform the world
so you're going to say one second
why do we have to transform the world
the world is completed by
created by hashem it's
complete and like the torah says clearly
in the beginning of of of cr of of
gracious ay led toilets
this is the offspring of the heaven and
the earth and if you give a look in the
world toilets it's spelled with two
verbs that means it's complete hashem
created the complete world but
nevertheless it's what does it say
afterwards a shabbara eloquem god
created la soyuz
even though yeshan created a complete
world but he gave us a job last night to
do what is also due to attack him to fix
not only that says take a step further
what does it say
is
one was that said after it says
finished my job is done i finished
creating heaven in the world but what
does someone say afterwards that's
says in other words even after yes
hashem said i created a complete word
like who do i complain a complete world
but nevertheless lifestyles we still
have to transform
transform the world and elevate the
world
when we learn torah in this world and
last as we're fixing the world will
ultimately reach the great revelation
what's going to be in the future which
it says in in reference to the future
ayla told those parrots this is the
offspring of parrots and over there this
also is written with two verbs which
means it's complete which is higher than
the total is when hashem created the
world because then what's going to
happen is i'll say it in hebrew the
neglect hashem the glory of hashem is
going to be revealed the role called
bossa literally the flesh we'll see all
unity
we're all going to see there hashem
speaking now how does that happen how is
it going to happen they're ultimately
going to have the great revelation and
mashiach is going to come it happens by
do us doing our work by learning torah
by observing torah by doing the mitch
voice and specifically by doing truva by
by repenting by returning to hashem and
we know that oh when mashiach comes and
says clearly in the zoar
that
is going to inspire even
to do so it's not enough to learn terry
ryan to do it so it's amazing it's
important but we also need to do truva
and like the ultima writes clearly in
tanya that by us doing our work
during exile
through the challenges and especially
the doing our work of learning turning
doing mitzvos in ikras the mashikha
which means in the in the heels of
mashiach when it's very very dark when
the when the darkness covers up the
earth and it's literally full of dark
clouds and smoke
but what happens is even amongst the
darkness we do not get intimidated by
the darkness and we actually add in the
light the light of doing mitzvos and
learning torah and especially learning
siddhis which we know learning sins is
the light of the torah and that's
explained in the in the civic discourses
this will bring
to the coming of meshiach when the
wellsprings of mysticism is going to be
spread all over the world and that's
where mashiach is going to come we're
going to do our work even and
specifically in the darkness of exile
and we're going to go together with the
with with the elders and with our young
with our sons and our daughters everyone
together uh the whole complete nation is
going to go together with the complete
world as we know that when shia comes
the land of israel is going to spread
all over the world and not the one hand
the land of israel is going to spread
all the world but also jerusalem is
going to spread all over israel
so israel's going to be all over the
world jerusalem's going to be all of
israel and so over there specifically
when it comes to the holy mountain with
holy mountain the harabayas and over
there we're going to come to the
betterment
as the place of hashem chose and over
there we're going to come to the holy of
holies and your finisher says it's going
to happen
quickly in our days literally in our
times and we
we're going to have the redemption the
true redemption and the complete
redemption so here you have another
powerful beautiful discourse of the
rebbe
about the power that we have
to learn torah and do mitt's voice and
specifically during goddess which will
ultimately bring the great revelation of
meshiach let's hope and pray that our
next class will be in your salayan ear
hakodesh have a great and blessed week
