Jacob shall strike root, In Egypt. הבאים ישרש יעקב A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class onus. We're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb. The name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse of Shabas which that year was the 23rd day of the month of which is also the shab that blessed the month of in the year 39 years ago. So exitic discourse is based on the verse in the prophets Isaiah which is from the uh Torah. So it says over there as follows in the future days is going to take root is the is going to go ahead and give blossom and give a fruit. the whole world is going to be filled with a lot a lot of fruit. That is the verse in the ha of this para and it's brought down in different in different commentaries. This that it says in the future days it's going to take root. So is referring to on the it says in the beginning of they're coming and this and in and this verse is referring to when they're coming in to what into the land of Egypt. So we know the the point that's brought out in the discourse of the alterba who were celebrating his his yard site in his classical works and there's also a explanation on this on the on theic discourse and there's an additional explanation on the explanation and at length in the the differentic discourse of different afterwards and the question is what is the connection between between these two and know is the connection between where it says in the beginning And the idea of the hash of the taking root of Yashak also we have to understand the three different points it says in the verse in other words there's three levels first it says is going to take root then it says it's going to it's going to sprout off Israel and then the whole world is going to be filled with produce also we have to understand why by taking root. It says by and it's going to blossom. It's it's referring to the name of Israel. So explains as follows. Ideas are like this. This verse is referring to the general idea of the soul coming into the body. And we know the soul coming into the body is a tremendous urida. That's a tremendous downgrade from a very very high place to the lowest places up to the point that this downgrade is from a place even higher than the highest places of roof and the lower places even the lowest places in the pit which are talking about obviously too extreme from the highest to the lowest and the purpose of this downgrade why the nama comes down is not just to to be a loser but the purpose is to have a tremendous elevation afterwards. Because specifically in this world, in this physical world, in this dark world, we have the power to connect to the essence of Hashem, the part of Hashem that there is no cause that created it, so on and so forth. And like we explained in many many places, when the summers on high, it was a great, it was wonderful. But when it comes down to the darkness, it connects to the most deepest parts of Hashem. And that's where he says in the future, Yashrit's going to take root root. that specifically with the ones that are coming into Egypt and the low in the low place in the lowest place where it's not possible to get lower in there you find the source and the main thing two things you find the source and the main thing and like the za says the main and the source of everything and you can say there's two ideas one is that it's the source of everything And the second point is even after it's the source of everything and it has everything it's the main thing. So the main and the source where do you get to that when you come into the lowest places? Guess what? In those lowest places you reach the source and the main thing of everything. Now in this idea there's also specifics in the in the work of the soul down here. In other words, the main the the quality of the work is working in the lowest places which means again the where God is only concealed. How do we work in the lowest places? How do we stay connected? So something which is called and a low level you don't see godliness you don't feel it but you have a low level of also you accept and like the altar explains in that being in awe and accepting that is actually he uses in chapter 41 of which you're supposed to say every single morning before you pray that is raises it's the beginning of the work it's the main work and the source of all the work and you can say there's two points over here besides the fact that it's the source for where everything comes in all the details but even after you have all the details what's the main thing to be in awe of Hashem and like the zya says it's the main and the source of everything not only the source but also the main thing and when a person does of just being a of just because and acceptance you re you connect to the essence of Hashem and that's actually hinted in the name Yakov. What's Yak? actually meant Yakim is spelled Yudin Y is the first letter Y and then AV and other the Y which from from lowest places in the Y of the Av reaches obviously the highest places and you can say the explanation is that specifically through the lower level of lower level of Yra which we said is the source and the main thing of of everything because besides the fact that we know the rule is that anything comes from the highest when it falls it falls to the lowest. So we know that all the levels of are all connected. So therefore the main deep point of the lower level of the yudat connects to the yud the higher yud yah. So through the lower level of y because you know you know you're for for external reasons you reach the higher level of ya. Now even though that the yud which was representing the idea of yra is the main and the source of everything but in order to fulfill and complete the intent that God had by creating the world which we know is God had a desire to make a dwelling place down in this world and a dwelling isn't all the details it's not enough the source and the main thing but you have to actually do all the detail of the work and that's why the verse continues on to say the first it says says that the source of everything is in the lowest level. But then he goes no is he has to has to go ahead and give forth and it has to blossom what is and know from the source afterwards you have where it blossoms and it grows and all the details and that's the idea of isel that from the yud you have not only but you also have is which is to me ahead or like the expression is that you fought with with with with the angel of god and you were successful which basically means that you fought with with the with the owner of the world and with people and that you go ahead and you conquer it and you make the whole world a dwelling place for Hashem. So that's why it explains why it says the second part is but this is also not enough. Why? Because it's possible that you're going to do your work in the area of prayer or in Israel but the ultimate goal is to make a dwelling place for Hashem. We're all over. And that's why the verse goes on to say The whole world has to be a garden for hem. It this idea gets spread out all over the world and the way of malu it's filled up in the way of tuna. Um and like it's explained in the in theic discourse is the letters of tun tanuva. If you take the letters and you spin it around it's the same letters as standing. It's referring to the sphere of and also tuna is also comes from tuba which means to give and we know when you gives you give with a full eye which is ultimately bringing down the greatest blessings down into the world and said he like to connect this what it says in the beginning of the para the names of the are coming down to Egypt. So it says in the medish and we already learned the before that what does it mean they're coming in Egypt even though it looks like they're coming into Egypt? No, the names are B. We're very focused on the redemption. It's all about the redemption. In other words, right when they're coming into Egypt, they're coming into Egypt. They're going into exile. Right in the beginning of the downgrade, we already have the ultimate purpose. Remember, you're coming down here for the upgrade. We're coming out. The goal is for the redemption up to the point that the redemption is like it's it's explained in the in in the Torah portion after this one which is we we we reveal in a way of seeing that you know there's a difference between hearing hearsay but then they're seeing and that's the ultimate um revelation of the future like it says in reference when the future of God is going to be revealed and everyone's going to see and since it's in a level of seeing therefore it's going to be in a way that everyone's going to be equal because when it comes to singing everyone sees the same thing and that's why it says mo then is going to sing and the Jewish people that the song is through Mosher Rabenu and all the Jewish people up to the point even the the the the woman that have their they're they're pregnant they're the the the baby's in the mother's womb and everyone's going to say song together and one song and like it says yasha there's going to be one song we're all going to sing one song and the same thing also in future when Msiah comes when it comes to the to to the to the 10 song and it also says we're all going to sing one song and like tell us it doesn't say but also they saying that what does mean because it's referring to the the singing in the future Mashia comes and even Mashia comes it's going to be one voice everyone's going to be united and especially we say it every single day in in in the morning prayers after And you can say this is the end of the praising Hashem. In other words, because before you go down to the world and deal with the world, which we have to, you know, you have to deal with commerce and whatever, you have deal with the world and even before you learn to when you go, you know, as you go from the synagogue to to to the house of study, but then we finish off only righteous people acknowledge the name of Hashem. They stand they they sit straight together and finish it says which which should be the will of Hashem that this should happen in a literal way that we should all stand up and acknowledge this should happen very very quickly with the coming of the mdash the third mdash literally in our days. So the gives again another beautiful discourse that literally yes we're going we went down to gullos but when we went in we already saw the purpose of going in is coming out and we'll have the and next class will be have a great and blessed week.
