Jerusalem within each of us. א"ר אושעיא A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in theb the name of the discourse is called the said this discourse the 19th day of the month of in the year L 46 years ago and they went on to certify and edit this discourse in honor of in the year 35 years ago so again the discourse is based on a teaching in where he quotes a verse in the prophets that says the verse says which means the righteous part of that he redeemed the Jewish people and he translates this verse to mean God did a tremendous SP this righteousness for the Jewish people and he uses the word p and he sayson that he spread them out amongst the nations of the world so the previous rebba in AIC discourse with this title that he said inut in the year tough R PID test um in the in the Feast of UT and it was later on printed in the in in in in the booklet in the of the Year T Pest and he says as follows the mere fact that the Jewish people are spread out amongst many many Nations so that what does that mean so even if from one nation they're oppressing the Jewish people and not allowing them to learn to do any mitv and and in many Mitzvah Unfortunately they go under the category of anus they they basically they're not able to do the Mitzvah they can't do the Mitzvah and even they can't even do it m they physically don't can't do it and like can give us an example if there's a decree from the government not to allow to for species to to be pour into the country so even if you want to go on you don't have it you don't have the you don't have the species to do the Mitzvah but what happens is the mere fact that there are Jewish people in other countries that there's no decree and they're over there learning T and doing mitv so the people from the other country that are learning Torah and doing mitz are giving power and energy to those that are living in the place where there is a decree that that that they they they they will be able to learn and to do the mitv and to go from like from the from the lower level to a harder level and other the beginning they'll about to learn self sacrifice at least and like as we know there are many many different uh opinions in Jewish law that even when it comes to a Mitzvah where the Torah says don't don't don't don't try to do the Mitzvah but you're not you shouldn't kill yourself a person if he wants do he's allowed to sanctify God's God's name and do the Mitzvah even if he's putting his life in danger so that's the first level up to the next level that afterwards you're not going to have to Mish and next level is you're not going to even have any any any any tests and you're not going have anything that's going to stop you because you're going to go out you're going to have total freedom you to learn T do mitz from a place of abundance and like the kazal tell us the famous teaching whoever fulfills the tah when you're poor poor doesn't mean only financially on whatever level you po you're not able to eventually you about to do the T and learn the T and do the Mitzvah from a place of abundance wealth and success now since we know that the tah we know is Everlasting it applies in every single time and every single place like explained at lent in the discourse so obviously um this charity applies even in places where there's no de decree against learning to the mitz so the question is how does that apply so says well understand this based on what the previous taught us in the discourse in the of so he says over there as follows when it comes to the Mitzvah of what does that mean someone's in prison so it's a big Mitzvah to redeem him out of out of prison so there's there's a physical prison but there's also a spiritual prison in other words just like what doesn't mean someone's in prison physically he's in a he's he's in a Cell he's in jail and if you're in jail you can't leave there so there on a physical level but J says there also a spiritual jail in other words you can have somebody that's free roaming in the streets he looks like everything is good but sadly he's in prison prison of what of his animal soul of the Satan like and everybody gives a simple example it's hard to hear it but that's the fact he says there are people that are in business and a whole day and a whole night they're so busy with their business and they're literally a prisoner in the thoughts that are disturbing them and they can't leave it they're like they're their mind and heart and soul is in a prison of business and up to the point that sometimes they're like uh they feel like they're trapped and like the Raman writes in reference to Jewish law that the Yates har is basically holding the person hostage so therefore what is what is stuck over there in that case that Hashem went ahead and spread us all over all over the world which means in places where you you you have an abundance and you're not oppressed and you have to work very 24/7 to try to make some money what does that mean that even of of of of there's somebody out there that unfortunately sadly he is in jail a spiritual jail because he solely told prup you don't have a minute of a Peace and Freedom so the way he goes out in prison you can't take yourself out of prison because the fact is the rule is someone that's tied up in prison can't take yourself out but if there's another Jew that's not in prison in in in this thing that you're going through in another words words even though that the person that's taking you out he has his own prison everyone has their own their own limitations and in in certain areas yes you're like a real prisoner that the that the Yar is taking you over in reference to another mitah another M you're struggling with but the fact is every single person has areas that you're in prisoned you you locked yourself up and you can't get out of it and every person has areas where you're free so in the regard to the areas that you're that you're free because the fact is we know that the Y doesn't totally attack a person in every Mitzvah he picks certain ones and he gets you you know to loosen up about excited about doing a Mitzvah or gets you obsessed doing something you shouldn't be doing but the fact is as long as you're doing something which is appropriate and the fact the fact is the when he comes to try to trick you and he tries to convince you he he tries to convince you with something specific and the fact is we know that every single generation has has a different and like the gives an example in the times of manasha what what was the big uh what was what was the big attack of the how did he attack the Jewish people idolatry it was a time that idolatry was rampant amongst the Jewish people and U however the the generations afterwards it went away up to the point says that that the the the the the uh the Yates ofar of idolatry really doesn't exist anymore was totally killed so but the same thing also applies in in in every in every time know every single person has their thing that they're weak and and they're so to speak they're imprison with and you have certain things that you that you Excel that you excel in and like for example like there's a famous teaching in the tal where it says everyone like everyone has their MIT they love doing but the fact is the one that you love doing that's what the AAR tries to attack you on but when a person does the Mitzvah that the ones that that thear is so to speak not attacking you on on so then you're able to over you're able to help the person that's struggling with with that Mitzvah somewhere else and that's why it says Hashem went ahead and did a charity with the Jewish people that he spread them amongst the nations of world what does that mean cuz what's pigion from what it means redeeming someone out of prison it's the highest level of Charity and like he explains that discourse that the Mitzvah of Charity of redeeming someone out of prison comes before any Mitzvah and there's no Mitzvah as great as taking someone out of prison and by Hashem spreading us all over the world and the fact is as we know everyone has a different type of so therefore you're able to go ahead and accomplish the Mitzvah of because the fact is everyone has areas we struggle with and everyone has areas where we're doing great with so the areas that you're doing great with you redeem someone that's struggling with that the person might be struggling with that issue he has an area where he's strong and he redeems you and that's what we're each doing on a spiritual level P by Redeeming the other person out of their struggle and he points out in that discourse that according to this insight that what does it mean know the way it's translated did a that he spread us out all over the world so he said if that's the case the verse should have said not it should have said not that not not that he redeemed us but actually he spread us around so he explains in the discourse why does it say p so the reason why he say person it's like the verse that says that is going to be occupied all over it's going to be spread out in other words that the the the kindness and the said with the Jewish people is by spreading that all over the world so we can reach to a much higher level and higher than before he spread us out just like when you reach Pro with things you you're able to expand the borders and that's why they use the term P versus P because the ultimate goal is to reach a level where you're going much better and much stronger than before well the this based on what K tell us that anything that exists in the world exists in the human being a matter of fact the human being is called is it called an or a small world everything that exists in the whole world exists within us and a person has to say that the world was created for me so obviously we are we are a small world so therefore in the Adam in the human being and we're called an Adam so we have everything so what what every wants to focus on one one idea is is there something which is called Jerusalem Yim we all have within us something which is called Yim what does that mean it means even in the times of Exile and yes unfortunately because we sinned we're in Exile and we're not necessarily in Israel and this idea that we were basically taken out of the land and we we we're not n it also applies to the Jewish people that are living in Israel which is eventually re built but what's what's the idea of Yim spiritually Yim spiritually exists today as well and every single person has the idea of Y so the physical Y and the physical Temple we don't have but Y and a spiritual does exist what is spiritual that we all have every explains like this what is Con in two words what is complete level and that also applies literally Jerusalem like it says in in in the tal to in the name of a medish that why is it called because Mal said they called it sh place of peace and it's also called because Abraham called it so it's made up of two words sh which basically what does that mean it's the highest complete level of being Orem and and this idea of being Orem is Everlasting even now because the fact is every single one of the Jewish people even in Exile on a at least on a concealed level we all have the power of the idea of Yus which is complete all for hasem how do we have that will understand this with an introduction that reference to Jerusalem which we said what's Jerusalem now we have a buzz word Jerusalem is the name what is Jerusalem referring to the complete offer hem and it applies to us in our spiritual service of hem on on on two levels so he says the many places explained what's the idea of it's and it comes in level of all you you have forem and that's why it says that there's a Jerusalem down here in this world and there's Jerusalem on a high level on a spiritual level why is that how how do you have two levels of of Jerusalem because we know in O there's two levels there's the lower level of or which is basically lower level and there's the higher level of which is which is the higher level of of Jerusalem and that's why Hashem says I'm not going to come into the Jerusalem on high until I come first onto Jerusalem below why because even though one second the fact is from a re from a revealed standpoint the lower level of or is lower than the higher level of O but nevertheless since that the lower level of of or where does it come from it com from the higher level of war and up to the point it's really one so therefore through the fact that we have the lower level of war that we're able to reach the higher level of O so the first idea of your schlime is is a higher level of O lower level of O by having the lower level of O your sche we're able to enter in the highest levels and from the continuation of what he explains over there understood that another level is that Jerusalem is also the point of which is above intellect in other words it's a point which is above any description because the fact what we have and as it comes from the essence of our soul which is above any levels of Revelation so we have is two ideas one level is this lower level of War higher level we connect on the lower level and through that we go to the higher level the deeper idea of is that no no no it's the point of or forem not based on logic not based on any region based on any reason and the reason that this level is called y why is it called Yim why is it called the complete or because the truth the true and complete level is when something's totally complete and therefore any level of year if it's if it's that's revealed and even it's a level of of a but since it's it's a revealed level so it's it's possible it's not perfect so that's not complete and and that's not true but the real true complete or is when it's when it's beyond logic and that's something that every single Jewish person has the the capacity and the ability to connect to AEM above logic by the essence of our soul with basically which is which which is beyond logic Beyond emotions and we have that we everyone has that even the times of galut now even though this idea of Y is very high level which is above intellect it's above it's above any limits but the fact is there's many many levels to it and the true level infinite level when when is that going to be this powerful level we connect to that's obviously mashiah comes and that's why when it comes to the Future M comes it says tast is going to spread out all over and rash says what does it mean it's going to be spread out all over rash say very simple there's not going to be a limit Jerusalem is going to go Without Limits and there's obviously going to be many many levels of growth and like Rashi says over there it's going to be grow from day to day and that's why he says that and translate did for the Jewish people that he spread us out all over the world and know this the verse says like we said a pis he spread that he spread us out and which is idea which he uses the term P because the kindness that hem did for the Jewish people by spreading us out is the ultimate goal is that we should reach the higher level of pers which is which is off the charts so in other words has spread us out but the goal is that from spreading us out we should reach the higher level of pro to the infinite level and there's two ideas in other words why did Hashem spread us out in in in Exile because when we're spread out and we have obstacles and we have we have challenges Etc um by being spread out all over the world so what happens is it awakens within us that point of Y I am that we all have and and we reached to the infinite place cuz if we're not pushed against the wall we're not going to go deep and not only that a step further that the idea P what do that what does that show us like we said Pro going to spread out all over that when a person awakens within in themselves that deep level of the Year sh and during Galos we're going to have afterwards a major upgrade in our being all of hem which basically it's going to be infinite just like it's going to be in the future when Mia comes and says you can say this idea of which basically means now we know what it means is basically the the the internal part of our god of our year hasem our being or of hasem there's two components to it one one is that the essence of yay is no limits a that's no limits and B gets spread out without any limits and in that itself you have two components in other words you have the point of theay it affects literally all the powers that we have that it should be like the point just like the point is without any limits so our intellect our emotions also without any limits and this powerful level spreads out into all all the powers that we have and not only in the powers of intellect and emotions but even our thoughts become infinite our speech becomes infinite our actions become infinite just like Pro tast literally as besides the fact that is the point that from there obviously everything comes out to the whole world and like we know it says the EV the stone that's the source of any um irrigation all over the world but literally you now besides that that the source all comes from there but it literally gets spread out all over the world like it says clearly that the eventually Jerusalem is going to be spread all over all over Israel and Israel is going to be spread all over the nations of the world possibly you can add that this that it says in the verse not um know which is connected to what he said the ultimate goal is to have the the to be to be the challenge of God will cause us to to reach into sh and that's will cause us to Greater success it's also connected to the idea of the charity that hasem did that he spread us out like he says in the beginning of discourse what does that mean that the originally that he explained that when a person goes ahead and is um learning T and doing Mitzvah in a place where you could that gives power to those that can't learn T and do MIT why is that because this that a person goes ahead and learns tah and and wherever you are gives power to another perhaps has to give power to someone else and the answer is cuz really we're all one and especially when we connect to the fact that we're all connected to and we have the level of total acceptance which basically that unifies all of us so different order for the mitz that one person is doing should affect and impact be a source of energy to someone else which that's the whole idea of the charity hasem did by by spreading out spreading us all over the world so in order for your T and your mitzah to have an impact on someone else the learning T mitzah has to be in a way that's imbued with Pro T other words that your is in a way that you it's it's it's it's totally spreading out to all over the world east west north south all over and the the spreading out effects all over every part of our soul even like he said before there are thought speech and action you can say this is the reason that when it comes to learning T and doing mitv and and and that that gives power to someone else not only that someone that's in a place where he's with with decree and he can't do it but even what we mentioned before the idea that it affects someone that's that's struggling spiritually and and it redeems someone from their spiritual struggle why is that because every single person even someone that's a wicked even someone that's a Russia the fact is every person has Yim it might be deep it might be concealed but everyone has the Jerusalem within them therefore every single Jewish person whether you're a sadic a righteous person a b the intermediary or God own's Wicked we're all one we're all one community and like we know we know the the the word for a community in Hebrew is called a a Jewish people a CRA it's a community and CRA is actually made up of of of the letters sadic V V and which stands for stands for aad a righteous person the b stands for a b and the and stands for ver and wicked people that means all three levels thead the r all one package and the V actually unites the rash with the B and thead as well and matter of fact the the beginning of all of it is aad it means we're allik and therefore if a person goes ahead and learns and does mitz it's obviously whether it's a or and especially when you're doing it in a way that you're basically connecting yourself to all the trsh people you love everybody so what you do is you're able to affect those that are struggling that they should go out from their struggle in literally in a revealed way think about the power we have by learning to and doing MIT and from a perspective of B we're actually creating that energy around the whole world and even if someone's struggling they're going to feel the energy and they're going to be pulled out of what they're going through now this idea that learning toyra and doing mitz of one person gives power to someone else it's not only when someone is in when when someone's in a situation where he's forced that he can't do it because of a government decree or because basically he's struggling with his animal soul but even though when according to Torah he's not he can't do the mitzah for example let's say you're living in America you I mean you're living outside Israel anytime you're living outside of Israel because according to Jewish Jewish law a lot of Mitzvah you can't do all the Mitzvah that apply in Israel you can't do and the same thing also in generally in galut the fact is that people that in the times of galus even those that are in Israel you can't you can't do mitv that apply only in times of Temple but the fact that all the Jewish people in all the places and all the times are one that means not only now but even past in the times of Temple so the fact that the Jewish people in The Times of Israel did the mitz that applied to Israel it affects those that live outside of Israel and also the the the the mits that were done the times of the temple affects us today because the fact is all the people from all the generations are real one and represent something very very powerful that there's no such thing in a community community doesn't die so the community of the past the community of present future are all alive and therefore the MIT of the ones that did it when the times of the Temple of affects us today the mitv that people are doing in Israel affects people outside of Israel and matter of fact there giv a simple example we know that was in the times of the temple they brought sacrifices and in times of Ezra they brought a sacrifice we brought an atonement of of the of the people of from a different generation and that's why the verse says and what he translate that the that he that he spread us all over and and the reason why he says P not P because the righteousness hem did for the Jewish people is that he spread us all over because by spreading us all over we're able to reach a much deeper level of like he explained before at length that's one reason another reason why it says because in order to reach the abundance and the infinite and to be all over it comes that when a person is doing a service of hem in the times of Exile when we're spread out and but you do it in a way of pro even when you're doing you do it in the way of of of of infinite other words besides the fact that to go into the Jerusalem physically which is going to happen with we're going to have the true Redemption through Messiah how does it happen it happens through our spiritual work of Yim now what is that complete offer AEM because the fact is the coming of messia depends on we're listen to and this idea of listening to has it happen happens by being over because we know the alar writes clearly in t that the beginning of the beginning and the main um and the source of every service is that a person should be in Orem in other words in order for for for learning to and doing mitz should be complete you have to have besides the fact you have to love hem you have to also be an or of hem so in order that we should have that you should be spread all over the world you need to do the AV today of which means you have to do it in a way without without any limits what's what's doing what's what's serving hm without any limits that's M self- sacrifice which which means you're giving over your will of your will to Hashem and this by do by serving Hashem without any limits that's the proper PR preparation that we're eventually going to have where Jerusalem is going to be spread all over the world literally and like the ton says that Jerusalem is going to be spread all over the Israel and from Israel is going to be spread all over the nations of the world and this happens like everything we know of in the future that happens like Dr writes in the classical chapter 37 by doing our action and our work in galut and generally speaking it's by doing the three from the three pillars learning T praying and doing mitv charity and like the Tells in track BR in the beginning and and uh in in the beginning and and and as follows based on the verse my soul was redeemed so it says over there that whoever learns and whoever does which means referring to all the and you pray with the community Hashem says it's if you've taken me and my children out of galut and especially by doing the spiritual work of spreading like we're doing now we're learning we're spreading it all over the internet all over the world and by learning and spreading that will cause M to come like the famous letter from the bov that he heard in the chamber of mhia that when we spread that's when the Messiah will come and that's the powerful teaching of um the that did that he spread us all over the world that by doing our work and our actions in the time of gas in the three areas of learning praying which means acts of kindness is referring to all the mitv and especially like said by spreading all over every single day we got to do it so besides the fact that every single day that we're in Exile we're actually redeeming spiritually km says you as if you're redeeming we're redeeming Hashem from G but every single act that we do creates a huge huge huge um blessing and it creates the real the the the real charity which brings the Redemption literally in a physical way and then we're going to have Jerusalem is going to be spread out literally physically it's going to happen when Messiah comes very very soon and very very very quickly so here we have another powerful beautiful discourse of the rebba how literally we have the power by doing our part to bring the ultimate revelation of mhia coming let's hope it happens very very soon our next class will bees have a great and blessed week sh
