In The Source it is all Good ויגש אליו יהודה A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our Classics to this we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the river the name of that this course is called the yigash a love Yehuda the rebel said this Hasidic discourse on Shabbos which was hey Tavis the fifth day in the month of tables in the year 35 years ago so again the acidic discourse is based on the opening verse in this week's toro Bush where it says that Yehuda confronted so the river brings and he says the whole idea on a spiritual level of Yehuda confronting your safe is referring to in Kabbalah the yehud the Oneness of Yehuda and yah descending also we finally have Torah this week's Torah portion it speaks about the way in the future there's going to be two staffs two two sticks two staff which is represented by in a spiritual level these staff the eights the of yahudah and the age of Ephraim the staff of Yehuda and the staff are fine and the prophet says even though you can have one staff of yahudah and one staff of Ephraim a frame is represented is the ice of sons referring to the tribe of your safe but nevertheless it says there's going to be one king who's going to be that one king over Judah and over yosefraim it's going to be King David like like the verse says the Avid my servant King David will be the king over them the David Abdi my servant David is going to be Nasi is going to be a prince on them forever in other words see even though we mentioned you who don't you mentioned Ephraim here we're supposed to be talking about Yehuda and you're safe server says because I fry him of the two sons a monastery Joseph had the frame is the main stay of Jose's tribe like it says like it says clearly in a Torah um nevertheless the younger one referring to Ephraim Yik Dali menu is going to be much greater than Menasha and he was actually the head of the tribe which included within a frame and Ash is included like it says in the Torah clearly the olive on him the tribe of Menasha so fry aim is represented by by is representing Yosef and uh King David constantly we know from the tribe of yahudah so in other words so you see that the the essence of the haftare is the union of yasif and Yehuda as they're both going to be under one king of King David now Jervis as we know that the Torah is Everlasting in other words so since that October is Everlasting so just like the torah's Everlasting the lesson Turner constant the word of Herod the lessons from the terror also the Everlasting to each and every one of us in other words even the story which is going to be in the future is also Everlasting and applies to today so if you have a story of the future it's Everlasting it applies today as well especially stories of the past apply to us today about Yehuda confronts yourself now since the Tori was given to teach us a lesson like it says clearly in the Toyota Israel command the Jewish people speak to the Jewish people so obviously all of it is a lesson to every single one of us and the the lesson is something that applies to every single person and what what applies to each and every one of us we know what it says clearly that I need every single one of us were created we are created to serve hashan wall here to serve Hashem so there's supposed to be a lesson in our service of Hashem so that was going to explain it as follows he said as follows I was going to explain it based on what's brought down in different Hasidic discourses that the spiritual idea of Yehuda and Yosef see Yehuda we know is yahudah is it a tribe what does it mean practically on a spiritual level it's referring to the idea of talmud learning Torah and maisa action as we know the famous argument in the talmud what is greater is talmud greater or is action greater so yahudah that was these the the strong one the powerful one from the brothers and he is the king and as we know that what yahuda's job was to to to tell us exactly how uh the ruling how he's supposed to do things so yahudas represents the idea of what of action and this is the same idea of King David because what does it say in reference to King David and King David was God's servant now what does that mean what does it mean a servant the servant means he's doing what the gabaster is telling them who is the king is represented by India of action and to say what the rule is and the same thing also King David who was representative idea of a servant servant does sort of mass and tells them to do so yahood is connected to what learning talmud which is actually you heard there's more action Yosef on the other hand is more learning talmud why because what's the whole idea of talmud do you learn it and you get it into it and you get more into it and you study and you struggle and you come you have conversations about it in other words so constantly the word of adding so when you learn and when you discuss and when you think about it and you analyze it you're actually adding by your learning because when you comprehend things you meditate on it you actually add to it and that's the whole idea the idea is to add and through learning you add and this is this is the same idea reference to Ephraim why because what's a fry you mean a fryer means that he multiplied he added which again it's the same idea of Joyce it's like Joseph was to add a fry in his head where do you add where you add when you learn Torah now so again so yahudah is represented by action King David is action yo Yosef is learning and Ephraim is also learning because you're adding as you learn but whoever says the ultimate intent is that both of them should come they should both be unified the action and the study should be unified in other words what does that mean practically that you should have the impact of learning in our actions and you should have the impact of action in our learning it should go both ways what does that mean practically in other words the impact of uh that action has when you're learning is self-understood like anybody brings from from the from the from a powerful discourse from the river or shop and the year tough very sharp evolved and he explains very simple when a person learns and you know that what you're learning is gonna is gonna play a role in in action in other words the way you're learning you're going to come to an outcome this is what you need to do or this is what you don't do so what happens then is when you're learning just academically you're learning so you're learning you're off the charts but when you're learning to bring up okay what do I do or what don't they do Etc so then you're totally learning I'll say in Hebron translate in a level of Bittle and the level of acceptance to know what is the truth what does Hashem really want from us because it but because you see that that that's practical so here you see the impact that action has on learning because you can learn you can study for hours and what you learn I it was exciting it was interesting but what what's the message but when you learn and you have to walk away with a message something practical what do we do so the learning is much more focused so that's the impact that action has on learning on the other hand what impact does studying have on action in other words not only you study so you need to know what to do because if you don't learn how you know what what to do you have to know what to do or not to do but also when you learn you have to learn in a way that you're comprehending it in a way that you're like really getting deeper deeply involved in it because in order to come with a ruling you have to really get into the learning and you have to know what it means what what what what what what what it's saying what does that mean and all the details Etc so notice you see that impact on the action because basically through learning you know what to do okay so you see clearly that the one hand you have studying one hand you have an action and each one impacts the other one the study impacts the action the amp action impacts the study now So based on what we just learned German says so the fact is like this you're learning and you're studying but studying is so to speak outside of the person the and the action is outside the person why does me and there's the action I'm doing so it is my action but it's still outside of me but the fact that service isn't even a step deeper the truth is these two components you have within the person himself where do you have the two components of Yehuda and Joseph and the person himself so that's when referring to that do we know that in Kabbalah there's a term called avoid the work it doesn't mean working what you do for a living it means of spiritual work so prayer is called a boy when a person prays that you work in your heart and as we know that when a person prays so before we do the ultimate in the prayer services so right before you have the glass blessing is is of redemption you want to bring Redemption close to prayer and so whatever says till now we learned that you who deserves something by action and you always presented by learning and they each one connect with each other and nevertheless Wonder would say that's outside with us you're learning outside yourself and actions are outside yourself but nevertheless here prayers with internally within you and the Redemption is within you and these two components of redemption and prayer that is what's the connection I never explained like this when it comes to prayer and let's say the the ultimate in the prayer service what's the the peak of the prayer supposedly it's where it sends quietly it's the the smallest Ray and when a person prays why do you why you say why do we when we come to Spanish he's a quietness synagogue because then a person's on the highest level of acceptance and Hebrew again it's called Bittle your level of acceptance so prayer in a state of acceptance what does that represented by Yehuda why because when when yahudah was born what did his mother says I'm gonna basically acknowledge to acknowledge so yahudah's name was given because now his mother was accepting thanking Hashem now what happened after yahudas was born wasn't saying the Toyota's she stopped giving birth to any any future children at that time why is that because when a person comes to the level of when you're totally in the level of you're totally accepting you come to a place where you're standing total acceptance for Tom wait and you literally stop producing more you're like you're you're Frozen in a good way representative idea of prayer acceptance amida Etc before the prayer before you have before you have total acceptance what do you have before that you have Redemption and that is connected to who to use which you guys have already learned before is all about adding because why what's the holy of redemption you're free which basically you're adding to you're adding to the experience and especially the results when you're dealing with the Redemption that's in a way that's my soul is redeemed in a peacefully me crumbly from those that so to speak were close to me that want to destroy me so what happens is you don't have God forbid a piece of crop the people I close to want to hurt you but you have the Redemption which is done in the player please so that's that's that that's total that's total to adding to the experience now you're free so again so you who does Acceptance in prayer Joseph is adding his Redemption and that's the whole idea what we do right from from Redemption which is represented by Joseph we go to the Phila which is because you want to have the union of yahuda and Yosef which is basically we learned before the two ideas of of study and action again study was the whole idea of of of of Yosef and yahudah was action which is connected again to Gula which is which and they're together and they actually become one and this ultimate Union where they become one where is It ultimately can happens in the future mashiach comes as the prophet says that King David is going to be the prince forever now they ever asked a simple question in other words when you look at the whole story of Yehuda coming close to your save and it speaks about all the different words that you that says to you I save as as the verse says he says I would like my servant referring to himself Yehuda to speak something in the words of the master of and Russian says what does it mean which means that my word should enter into your ear and after he tells him everything everything that happened he tells me everything that Torah tells us that he told them so this is one second why is a Torah telling us all the details that Yehuda told Joseph why is it important he came and he told him why the tormental soul details that's question number one question number two is after yahudah speaks so what happens so the Torah tells us that's it Joseph couldn't resist and he and he basically and he and he broke down in other words obviously if you didn't break down till now when did he break down after yahuda spoke to him so obviously something that Yehuda said triggered within yo he said that he should be able to not be able to resist hiding the secret that he's a brother but there is one second everything that Yehuda told you Ace of Joseph knew already Yes of them was a brother is the brothers and matter of fact in their conversations that he repeated everything was already said before so what happened now at this moment that you also had a total breakdown what happened now he said whatever explains and he said something beautiful and something very very powerful this is really the heart of the discourse and he says like this the river brings based on what you explained in a in a classical Hasidic discourse from the mid to La Reba the second Chabad Revo in his classical works in the pasture called Taurus and he says like this what was the novel idea that took place over here that Yehuda spoke to Yosef so so the Mickler explains in this this powerful book of Taurus crying that Yehuda what did he do he elevated everything to a very very high level what does that mean he was able to create a transformation and a refinement and the whole experience how did he do that by elevating it to its source again this is the key Yehuda took the whole experience that was going on between yahudah and Joseph and the brothers and he took it to its source what does that mean and you it never explains when yahudah was speaking to Yosef what was he talking to her about about the fact that they sold Yosemite now why is he bringing that up ex if you look at face value that's a terrible thing they sold a brother and not only that wasn't it it was seeming it was terrible thing the fact was the fact is yehudu was down downgraded because of it like a Torah says clearly by ye read Yehuda yahuda had a downgrade what does that mean they yahuda was the big brother he was the head huncho and guess what they he he had he was not anymore the head they took him off from being in charge because their argument was because Joseph was sold because of Yehuda because if he would have said don't sell yourself don't hurt don't hurt yourself they wouldn't have so you so the fact that they soldiers was a terrible thing and even knew who'da had a downgraded from it so why is Yahoo talking about it and there ever explains because in yahudah was talking about it he actually elevated the whole experience to its source and over there it's a very very powerful thing and face value yes of a soldier was terrible and yes Yahoo was downgraded but if you look the way things are taking place from heaven if you look to a God's perspective it's all good there's two different lenses There's A View From Below oh my gosh you yours were sold you who was downgraded because of it but yahoodah was able to pick everyone up let me tell you let's go let's look at the way God looks at it and from God's perspective something amazing happened over here so what happens that then was when he elevates a whole different level what was revealed from God's perspective when you who the elevated the whole conversation what was revealed was that yo you said being sold was a very very High important part of Jewish history and like Yosef himself later on in the Torah says God sent me here you didn't do it God sent me here so that I can provide you what you need I became the whole father to power I became in charge over here in other words Yehuda totally shifted that they can see it from a Godly respectable is an amazing thing that happened that Yoshi was sold again weeds hard for her to see it but guess what from a God's perspective yes and ghosts have admits it now how did you have the power to do that I mean that's huge to be able to elevate the whole experience to see if magaly is directive and you're ever saying yes because Yehuda is someone that's represented by The Beatles Yehuda had the Ultimo ultimate level of acceptance opal level of humility so because he had tremendous humility he was able to reveal reveal what happened and he was able to reveal it in Joyce of itself so the power of you who there was because of his humility he was able to totally show one the powerful experience that was taking place here and because of that he was able to create something totally new in Jesus up to the point that when he sees it from that level that it was all great and it was all God's plan then the Torah tells us after yahuda did that you always couldn't he couldn't hold back and he started to cry now as we know in Kabbalah what does crying come from why does someone cry where did tears come from crying it's a very powerful idea why do people cry because something that the brain cannot comprehend it's too powerful for the brain so that's when tears come out and cabal is called when the intellect is an oval that's when you start crying and as it came from such a powerful Revelation that the inside Couldn't couldn't grasp it and even since I couldn't grasp it he cried and he could and he couldn't hold himself back and that's the powerful novel idea that took place here even yo yisivatadik was not able to hold himself back because even though we know generally speaking Joseph was much higher than the Patriarchs Abram Isaac and Jacob and all the tribes and like it's brought down the explanation of how why was Joseph hired everyone else because the fact is the the Patriarchs Abram Isaac can Jacob and all the tribes so we know they chose to take care of sheep because they wanted to have his boy to do this they wanted to be disconnected from the world however we know he had the power to be connected to God to the essence of God and as in Hebrews called that smooth same uses work Joyce have had the power to connect to the essence of God and even when he was the head the the head of Egypt he was mission he was second to para he still connected Hashem even though yes was so powerful nevertheless and Dementors tells us what yaaka said oh my gosh my son is still alive which means so the Metro says what does that means admitted that yo Yusuf is a great attack than Yahoo why because Joseph has much more power than Jacob and even Yakov admitted it so in other words here you're dealing with that Yoshi was so powerful but nevertheless after yahudah with his humility he was able to elevate the whole experience that people were able to see that God was really running the show often for my Yeagers how do you confront him not with arrogance but with tremendous humility he is so this humility that Yehuda had it affected such a powerful revelation even higher than Joseph as we said Joseph was so powerful and more powerful than the tribes and the Patriarchs but nevertheless he was able to elevate you he's able to even higher in Yosemite why through acceptance up to the point that Jason couldn't resist up to the point that the whole The Voice Was Heard the whole Papyrus Kingdom and the door explains according to God what does it mean paroi it's the house that everything is revealed all levels of light to revealed I'd like to explain that length in the Sawyer up to the point of atmosa muslimsburg everything was revealed so again to recap before we go further so the river's saying is the novel idea that took place here was that Yehuda through his acceptance was able to elevate the whole experience and people were able to see from a godly perspective that whatever happened was happening because there's some wanted was all for the good and Grandpa finishes off and he says it should be the will of Hashem that when we speak about these ideas we will Merit very very soon to the Fulfillment of the prophecy that attesting the prophet that in a little level we're going to have the union of Yehuda and Ephraim up to the point where it's going to be totally won and we're going to have King David's gonna be the leader and the simcha with joy with two of the evolving gladness of hearts that taketh um which means literally we are going to Merit to have King David is going to take us all to Eric Israel and we're going to celebrate um with mashiachukenu and God's willing our next class will be English another beautiful discourse and it really inspires us to look at things from a godly perspective when we look at things from a godly perspective it's all great and it's all amazing and again like Durbin says hopefully with all Merit to have and witness it and we're gonna have with with joy and happiness we will have the coming of mashiach and again next week's class will be in your Slim iroquoitis have a great and blessed week
