Kabbala & Mystical insights of Sukkot & the Lulav/Etrog A Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on siddhis we are learning today a very special hasidic discourse in honor of the yantam sukkos the name of this civic discourse is called basuko is tesru which is based on the verse in the torah where god instructs us to sit in the sukkah for seven days the rebbe said this sydney discourse on the ninth of the thirteenth of tishrei which on the thirteenth of tishrei is the yard site the anniversary of the passing of the rabbi marash who is the fourth khabad radha and then the rebel went on to certify and edited this discourse in honor of the yantav of sukkos in the year tough shin meme which is exactly 41 years ago so the civic discourse is based on the verse in the torah where the torah says [Music] that god instructs us commands us to sit in the sukkah for seven days and then the torah goes on to say caller ezra bistrol every resident amongst the jewish people yeshua such we should sit in the sukkah the torah goes on to say what's the reason we should sit in the sukkah and the torah says so that future generations will know espen israel that i provided such as tents for the jewish people but he'd see always some errors inside when he took them out of the land of egypt and again there's a debate whether it was physical tense it was clouds of glory but in either case hashem provided us tense and therefore he's instructing us to sit in the sukkah so the first question i would ask is what does it say in the verse why should we sit in the sukkah and the torah is a reason which is unique um and the reason the torah says so that le mani do future generations including us when we go into the sukkah we should know that you see this temporary abode that we have hashem provided that for our ancestors when they left at the land of egypt and according to the altar of it's not only a meditation it's part of the mitzvah so when you go into the sukkah sukkahs whether it's at night or by day to make kid dish or to eat something or just to learn something you have to yay do you have to think you have to understand and recognize and comprehend the fact that we're sitting in this sukkah this humble abode because hashem provided that for our ancestors so the rabbi asked a simple question and so does all the other rebellion in the acidic is why is it so important to have this idea of the magnedu that we should know as part of the mitzvah the second question we're asked is what does the verse say basuko is tesla that we should sit we're in a sukkah now what does that mean spiritually sukkah we know is something which is called a makif and tastru is preemie what does that mean practically panimi means you internalize it so you can internalize things on a physical level when you consume it you can internalize things intellectually when you comprehend it or when you physically when you wear something but circus means it's not something you internalize physically it's not something which you understand it's something which is a market if it harbors over you it's an abode that's above you tasteful means you should sit down you should internalize it so how do the two go together if it's about success what does it mean tasteful so you can say it's makif a very powerful light but tasty you should sit you should internalize the energy but it still remains by sukkah is even after you internalize it it still says basograss so what's the idea where it's makif you internalize it and it still remains above you the next question number asked is what does it say in the verse but sukkah's taste was shiva's yomen we should sit in the sook of the seven days great so i know i have to sit in the sooker for seven days then it says color ezra be israel every resident of the jewish people should sit in the circle i already know that what is it adding by saying every resident in the sukkah and if you want to be more specific when it says about the circuit says seven days and when it says caller azaki saw bashar associates doesn't say for how long so i come in the first part where it speaks of asuka takes you again specific seven days and when it speaks that color ezra doesn't say for how many days also when it says kala ezra israel all the jewish people should sit in the sukkah we actually learn from there that it's possible for the whole jewish community all over the world to sit in one sukkah on a physical level but more importantly on a spiritual level which means that we're going to get along because you can't sit in the same sukkah if you don't get along as we all know the famous jew the joke two jews three shulls the one we don't go into but the fact is what is the same reference to suckers no we all get along we're all able to sit in one sukkah we're one big family so the rubber ass we all know the idea of actus israel the unity of the jewish people avas israel loving the jewish people is a global mitzvah it's a general mitzvah and it's because the fact is we all have one father in heaven so we're all one and if because we're all one therefore we all get along and the way the author explains italian it's so it's a huge mitzvah and it says in the talmud it's a huge mitzvah and matter of fact it's the essence of judaism getting along the rest of the torah is all commentary but the essence of judaism is obvious israel so if the essence of judaism is getting along so why why is it referenced specifically um to the holiday sukkot we learn about the idea of unity also in the verses before these two verses about sukkot it speaks about the mitzvah of the four species where it says he should take to you beyond marisha in the first day sukkot preached sadar which is referring to the esther it copies tomorrow the lullabies the myrtle and the willow we know that the the that the four species are connected to sukkot why they connected the sukkot because the way to observe the mitzvah of taking the four species is specifically in the sukkah in the morning before you go to shul you go into the sukkah you make the blessing on the lull of in the estuary in the sukkah now what's the connection because since we learned by sukkas we said it's le mans do we have to know what is the whole idea of little vanessa so we know the out the arizona says that when you take the luluv and the esrig and you shake it you have to have in mind this is kabbalistic meditation that you're drawing down das into nukva the female component of za of zaryanbin and that's how we actually when we shake it we actually bang it against our chest which is resembles the idea of the of of the the uh the the um the za of nukva and we draw down the idea of das into that so the question is what is the what is the deeper connection between what we take the idea of the four species the love of an ester and the idea of sukkot okay so the rep is going to explain to us in a really beautiful way or the whole idea of sukkos from a kabbalistic perspective but before he before the rubber explains it he gives us an introduction he says as follows what is the whole idea of a sukisteishru we mentioned before already is makif te suru is what panemius so on a kabbalistic level right now abstract terms you're supposed to take makif whatever this market means whatever this external powerful energy is and you have to bring it down the premiums you have to draw down market into premiums but such as tasteful so in order to understand in reference to sukkot we first have to understand how it works in general in other words we know we're here we have we we serve hashem in hebrew what's called avoid this hashem so we serve hashem in general in our life and then we have every single day our voido now even though basuke is teshu is referring to specifically the avoid of drawing down the market into premier reference to the holiday sukkot but we know the torah could be in general in in one area and more in detail another area so over here he's going to spell out to us how it works in reference to sukkot and obviously we're going to learn from there how to do it throughout the whole year okay so we have to understand this whole concept on a kabbalistic practical level of vasukistheishu which means drawing down makif into panini so let's first talk about what is the idea of makif and what is the whole idea of panimi okay in in a practical way in ways that we can use to serve hashem shrubby explains like this what is makif in terminology that we can we can relate to and what is preemie in terminology that we can relate to and they're explaining us follow us god gave us many gifts we're going to talk about two god gave us the gift which is called emunah faith and god gave us also the gift of chabad intellect in hebrew it's called saga to understand things so the way we relate is many but for right now for this conversation we relate on two ways either faith or intellect that means you can either understand something or you can believe in something what's the difference between understanding and believing as follows let's use intellect first when it comes to understanding so we have a mind and we have in the mind itself we have been a dost it means khmer is the flash of an idea being is ready to move the details of of the idea and that's the way we connect to it relate to it there are things that we totally can understand and we can comprehend and we understand it and we understand deeper we can meditate on it it's a tool of connection intellectual relationship an intellectual understanding now in everything in life there's pros and cons what's the pros of understanding you understand it there's an intellectual enjoyment in understanding something intellectual what is the con with intellect it only goes so far because we all know there's a lot of things we don't have answers for the smartest people pick up their hands i don't know i don't know i don't understand but when you do understand it's amazing in the world of kabbalah intellect is called what paninious which means i understand it it makes sense to me when you understand that when it makes sense to you that's a premium relationship it's an internal relationship it's an enjoyable relationship it's a meaningful relationship it's a mean understanding intellect is amazing however it only goes so far not everything we could understand and not everything we should understand so what happens then that's it we give up no then we have something which is called emunah then we have faith how do what's how does faith work faith again is not intellect if you understand it that's not that's not faith faith means i believe i believe means i don't have no intellectual proof i have no understanding of it but i believe it's the right thing to do not feel feel his emotions i believe it's the right thing to do you have to use the right term so you're connecting to the right concept i believe it's the right thing to do so for example let's say you want to do something and you understand you figured out a plan how you're going to succeed is that intellect or faith no that's intellect you don't need faith you know the plan but what happens if you want to do something and everyone logically you yourself and everyone tells you it's not going to work out but you believe that if you put yourself into it you're going to succeed so what are you using not intellect and intellect might even tell you that you're not going to succeed but you believe you're going to succeed so you take belief and you go for it or let's say you're struggling with something but you know it's it's the right thing and so every someone explain it to me i can't explain i just know it's the right thing that's called what faith so what's the pro with faith pro the pro it's faith it's going to take you places that intellect is not going to take you and intellect can take you what's the con you can't explain it you can't understand it you can't internalize it help me understand i can't help you understand when it comes to idea of faith so faith and intellect is two worlds it's like two different languages it's like trying to speak to two p one person for example speaking hebrew and the other one's speaking uh uh english and they both exclusively don't know the languages try to communicate you can't communicate they're both speaking in their worlds and they're both correct but there's no connection the same thing with faith and intellect faith is above intellect which means it'll take you places intellect cannot take you but on the other hand you're not going to appreciate it you're not going to understand it you're going on faith intellect on the other hand it's enjoyable we have tools we can relate to it we can connect to it however it's only going to take you so far so based on this now we have terminology to understand when we say makif and when we say preemie what it means practically so when we serve hashem so when we for example pray now you can pray intellectually too but when you generally when you pray hashem i trust you you're my father you'll take care of me i know you're gonna everything's gonna be great when even though logic says everything's going the wrong way people pray what's a prayer prayer is faith that even though everything is going so to speak not the way i want it to go or the way i'd like it to go i pray to you hashem hashem you're going to take care of me what is that called that's not called insanity that's called faith you can call it insanity grant because it's not intellect 100 but it's faith faith is above intellect faith is off the charts could you understand it no and that's the way we we pray and that's the way we deal with many things with hashem intellect on the other hand is something which is internalized and we can comprehend you'll learn torah and god wants us to understand the mitzvahs god wants us to have a meaningful relationship with him that happens through learning you need both now where does faith really kick in so take for example you're struggling and someone says that's it god forsook you and even though intellectually you have every reason to say yeah god is not here a person with faith will say no no i know i can't explain it this is crazy what's going on in my life right now but you know what i have faith it's all going to be good with a huge smile a bigger smile than intellect why because faith is much more powerful okay now so those are two tools again to recap market panimi makif off the charts faith we don't necessarily comprehend and we can't comprehend it because the minute you comprehend it it's a different world on the other hand you have preemie which is what which is intellect now what should a person engage with first faith should you approach things with faith first or should you approach it intellect first what should you go first so what does the torah tell us which word does it use first sukkah circle we said is market market represents faith after you have basuka then you can go to taisho so it's important to know the two tools faith intellect makif punimi sukkah teju what comes first faith you start off the premise has to be faith and then after you have faith then you go to intellect now why is that so and rubber explains like this that from the minute a person is born a person is born with faith the minute you are born you are given the gift of faith the minute you are born faith is party it's not you have to earn faith it's not you have to develop it and you have to cult yeah you have to cultivate it true but the minute you're born you're given faith and thereby quotes the talmud that talmud says as follows that israel referring to the jewish people haim they are maminim they are people of faith benama the children of faith that means we know abraham isaac jacob sarah rebecca rachel and leah the matriarchs the patriarchs the shivatim the tribes etc all throughout history the jewish people have had one profound gift that god gave us which is called faith faith means we're faithful we don't understand we do understand it's not about understanding it's about faith and we're born with that dna we're born with that in our blood and that's who we are because that's our description and as reverend says if the torah is telling you that we are faithful people the children are people of faith and the torah gives you that description and we know torah is called taurus emmaus the torah of truth that means that every single one of us who are we we are people of faith now so we start off with that from when we're born what happens once you're born and we're born with faith then you start educating the child and then you start learning torah prophets writings mishna talmud kabbalah mysticism different commentators record the jewish law now so what does that mean when i was born they told me hashem and we believe in hashem all the stories you teach children when they're younger have faith everything's going to be good but then all those things that we believed in we had a moon and guess what we learn it it makes sense it totally makes sense there's a god listen god created the world god maintains the world everything in faith you can comprehend at some point it takes a lot of effort but eventually you can comprehend it so what happens so even though you started off your life with faith and that's how you live our life circumcision is done out of faith we don't ask you just do it that's faith but later on you learn about circumcision so what happens is you start off with faith and then afterwards everything that you believed in you can learn about you could understand you can meditate you can comprehend it everything's explainable and we all know today a lot of things that people took on faith science even can explain a lot of things not that we need science to explain it but torah can explain it intellect explains it intellect understands is something which is who understood every infinite but today with all the development of technology we understand there's so much more than than we could we could have understood before technology so as we advance we're comprehending things that we will be accepted before on faith now what happens once we understand all these things so faith go is out the door no so we start off again faith we believe we don't understand then we learn then we comprehend and we understand what happens after we understand so the faith of yesterday now we understand that becomes default setting and that's something which we can relate to there's a new level of faith there's a level of faith that we now is faith and then we'll learn we'll understand we'll meditate that faith becomes intellect but guess what god's infinite so there's ultimately more and more levels of faith and ruby gives an example for example that before the jewish people became the jewish people we would like the nations of the world and the only thing we understood and i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate it was koyaka poyle benito we only understood something that had some kind of connection to um that we were able to relate to in the physical world that we saw some things we knew oh someone must have made it and as we because we only understood above nature the way he was connected to nature what happens when we became a jewish people we were able to disconnect that everything has to have an understanding in the physical world and we were able to understand something which is slight of calamine above the world and then when you get deeper than that we finally unable to understand as a concept of slave kalamin you can go into the level atsmus the essence of hashem and again this ultimate infinite amount of levels and ruby gives another example for example we all know moisturabeno it says it says about him in the torah in inches who believed everything moisture bainu moisture and he believed everything what does that mean he believed everything moisturize all about intellect moisture being is the one that got the torah from hashem taught us the torah any time i knew anyone had a question you would go to moisture urban he knew the ultimate answers he was the ultimate in intellect so why is moisture being a cold he believed everything and the answer is because when a person learns when a person studies you realize there's so much more to study and the more you study that's and the more you use your intellect the more you realize how much there's a there's so much more to know so for example you start learning okay i'm gonna learn the whole torah in a year and you learn and you become a great torah scholar after the year you go are you finished oh my gosh there's infinite i can do for another 10 years and you learn for another 10 years where i understand oh my gosh i can go for another 10 years 20 years 30 years why because as much as you learn as much as you use intellect and it's important to you'll realize there's so so much more you not only so much more intellectually there's so many more things i don't even understand it's above above intellect up to the point and this is one of the most powerful teachings in mysticism i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate it the ultimate the ultimate understanding is when a person can say i don't know a person is like no i know i know that's great that's wonderful it's nice but when a person says i don't know now is when you start knowing the ultimate understanding is when you don't know okay so let's just recap what they were saying over here those followers the concept of makifam panimi mock if his faith panimi is intellect we start off with faith we take things on faith we don't know we believe afterwards we can comprehend it once we comprehend it there's a whole new level that we don't know and then we comprehend that and it keeps on going cycle after cycle where whatever it was yesterday's faith becomes today's intellect and then we have a whole new level of faith and as long as you're able to say and have the realization that there's things you don't know you'll be in the cycle of real life because you'll be comprehending learning understanding things that were yesterday of faith and now you'll have a whole new level of faith which is very very powerful so you go from makif brinimi you internalize it and then back to the new market internalize that and the numerical and it goes on forever now that's in general in our life and now there explains this beautifully how it applies every single day our journey of every single day so there are quotes from king david king david has a verse in psalms and he says as follows a person goes out to work until the evening so a little translation means a person goes out every single day to work until the evening and whoever explains what does it mean spiritually let's think about you get up in the morning our day starts in the morning what's the first thing you do you get up in the morning you're ready to start the day whoa the first thing we do as soon as we get up before we even wash our hands to get off the impurity from our fingers what's the first thing we do we say in the morning we say we are acknowledging there's something above us the infinite god how tremendous a moon of faith we have in hashem first thing how do we start our day faith in hashem then we get up get ready to start our day uh chakras you gotta pray the first the more the morning prayers has the morning prayers work we have the premium blessings sacrifices that we we uh that were done in the temple that we recite but then the first part of the prayer service is how you do what is how you do mean i'm acknowledging faith so the beginning of every single day and the spiritual level is it starts with faith right when you get up maidani the beginning of the prayer service that's the way life starts for a jew what happens after that then you start in the prayers sukkah zimmer we're intellectually we praise hashem this infinite hashem that we just accepted and we acknowledged we we talk about the way he created the trees and the water and the animal kingdom and then shema the way the oneness of hashem all the different levels of intellect it means we're understanding the greatness of hashem so we started off with faith we went over to intellect and we understand it and then we come to where what happens on schwann astray also become quiet what's more in esri all about we become totally bottle we become totally humbled to this great hashem which is the idea of a muna faith but again it's a different level of faith when you get up in the morning it's faith i have faith in hashem shem is everything how do i acknowledge but then all everything that i had faith on when i do success to me why hashem is the only one and why hashem is echoed the only real existence so what happens now so now my faith is even deeper so the faith after the intellect becomes even a deeper faith so that's how the day starts so the day starts faith intellect to a higher level of faith with that strength of faith but again not just faith faith after the intellect as well that's the way whoever says king david is talking about that's when we start going out to the workplace what does that mean when we go out to work when a person goes out to work so this literally you go out to work until the evening that's the simple temple translation but we know that uh at the araf till the evening arev can mean several things one is the evening that's a literal translation but art can also mean sweet that means we go out to work a day until you reach that the day becomes sweet how does the day become sweet if you're out working you usually come you're exhausted you're tired you want to go to sleep so how does it that you come home at the end of the day and you're rejuvenated you're gonna learn something very powerful your day's gonna be totally different now you're gonna come home and it's gonna be sweet you're gonna be very very happy why because what happens throughout the day you're dealing with the physical world you're dealing with the materialistic world and the materialistic world on its own is ade arev which means it's evening it's dark not you go out and you come home at night on the earth when you're going out to work are they or if you're dealing with error if you're dealing with hoysha as you're working it's khaisha but then again what do i do with adeyarev i take that evening i take the darkness of the world and i transform the era of the darkness to our ray to sweetness how do i transform it when i transform it to holiness i take the darkness of the world and i make it holy so for example you're going out to work you're dealing with the physical world but why are you working you're working to have a pronouncer to support your family that you should be able to give your children a jewish education um support jewish institutions with the chabad house the school the educational centers in town whatever whatever you whatever type of charity you want to do so by doing that you're actually taking the darkness of the world and transforming something good and that becomes the ultimate in our rave and that's real sweetness why because herb explains very simple if you have something sweet so it's sweet very nice if you have something that initially you went out to the world and especially after your introduction of all this faith in god you're dealing with oh my gosh there's darkness and all this challenges out there and you're able to transform it to holiness that's the ultimate in sweetness how does one go how about in doing that because a person has based on his prayers in the morning yes he realizes he's relying on hashem and when hashem helps you that's real help and then you're able to be successful in everything you're doing to transform the world into a positive place so again just to recap this point what i was saying is every single day we deal with basically through on a spiritual level which means the market of the morning when we get up we have a munna and then we then we through prayers we use intellect to to internalize that faith and then we come to a whole different level of faith but then we go out to the world and we use that faith in the world and we're able to transform the world we literally take darkness and make it very very sweet now now we're going to bring this back to help us understand the whole idea of sukkos on a spiritual level he never explains like this what did we say before basuka is tasteful so we already know sukkos means what market intellect and we already said before what's the first thing you have to do is the first thing you have to start with faith first thing is faith the sukkah is the faith the market so the first job we have to do on sukkas is we have to make a sukkah you have to make a sukkah not show up on sukkahs you have to actually make the sukkah before before you fulfill the obligation of a history to sit in the circle for seven days how can you sit in the circle of yavna sukkah so making the sukkah there ever says is even higher why because we know it says in the torah the holidays you have to make it so there's a mitzvah in making the sukkah there's a mitzvah to make the sukkah now the sukkah we know there's the four walls of the sukkah and there's the roof and the roof is is actually where you put the on so the sukkah the covering of the which is the that's the main part of the sukkah so why is that the main part of the sukkah because that's actually the mitzvah to make the sach the covering why is that so important so what is the idea spiritually of the shah that it's so important that hashem tells us you should make the sukkah you should make the and that's why it's very very important literally to make this because when a person is putting on this you're actually making them you're making you're fulfilling the mitzvah now what's what's so powerful about the scots the ever explains like this and this is all based on the teachings of the mirage who tonight it says you're saying the nervousness is like this on yom kippur that we just celebrated what was the holiest avoider so the high priest would go on the holiest day of the year onion kipper and he would go into the holiest place into the holy of holies and he would bring the torus the incense now when you brought the incense it gave off a smoke that smoke we see a physical smoke but you know what it really is it actually becomes the spiritual schach for the sukkah so when you're sitting in sukkos in the sukkah and you look up and you see this you might be seeing the prom fronts or whatever you used to put on your circle whatever type of branches kosher branches you put on that's what you're physically seeing but you know what that is that is the the smoke from the terrorists that the kanye god the brought in young kipper that's point number one number two we know that is made up of three letters sixty half is twenty the second half is another twenty which is a hundred a hundred on rosh hashanah the custom is to blow a hundred blasts how do you have a hundred you have to blow the first thirty in the quiet trinistrate another thirty and the one that we repeat another thirty which is already nine the and ten in the in the in kaddish the last thirties to confuse the sutton but the one that all jewish people around the world blow is the hundred blasts of rosh hashanah those hundred blasts you're hearing the shaffer which is great but the spiritual energy from those hundred blasts become also the scotch on the sukkah and what's more interesting is we said is spelt of samakhaf sama 60 when you blow the shayford these three types are blast is that kia there's the swarin and the trua that's kia there's exactly 60 blasts like the samakh the swarm is exactly 20 like the khaf from the skh and shrua there's exactly 20 like the khaf from so we literally create spiritually the market on that sukkah on our sukkahs from the incense on yom kippur from the shay for blowing on rosh hashanah and that becomes the skahana sukkah what's our job in sukkahs so the first job we're going to remember we have to build a sukkah we've got to put the skh on so when you're putting the on and matter of fact it's very very important that even you can hire someone to build the walls that's great if you want to you can make the walls also but the sakhis you put on yourself because you're literally when you're picking up the shock and you're putting it on the sucker you're putting on the energy from yum kippur you're putting on the energy from rosh hashanah you're putting it on to your sukkah and if you know it says whatever is concealed on a rostronium kipper like we don't see the powerful energy of the the the incense or from the chauffeur blast it's revealed in circus and that comes over our sukkah now what happens is once we put that on and we walk into the sukkah on circus providing obviously success our job is to internalize we internalize that powerful energy that was created by the by the sukkah by the market that is something which we internalize every single day of sukkot when we go into the sukkot and we eat and we make a blessing before and like or we sit and learn in the sukkah you're actually drawing in that energy in an internal way how often she do is taurus is very clearly for seven days every one of the seven days we go in and we draw down the energy now what happens after you draw down the energy seven days guess what okay so i put the skhak on i got the holy energy there i drew it down for seven days and that's it complete torah says no no no but you need serious it comes the eighth day you actually draw down from bashmini from a much higher level you know seven is nature eight is above nature we actually able to draw down from above nature above the uh the sphere of the seven days of the week and it actually becomes that series it's a private party with us in hashem no one else can even connect to it it's so powerful but in order to reach the level of beyonce what do we have to do is we have to have the first the seven days and every one of these seven days we draw down the energy then we have the gift of the eighth day now so the goal is to draw down how do we draw down so the rubber explains very simple we know that the next mitzvah of of sukkos is to take the four species the lulav esrig hadassah naravas and where do you take where do you make the blessing you make it specifically in the sukkah whether it's in your house khabar house shul or if the supermobile comes by your office or your house what's the purpose of making the blessing of the lord of nazareth specifically in the sukkah because you want to draw down you know that market that's on top we said from australia ephraim kipper has to come down that comes down internalized through the four species now why and how specifically through the four species so whoever quotes from the alta rebbe he has a commentary in a siddhar kabbalistic commentaries in a siddhar and also from pacific discourse of the mirage we set tonight as yard site that um the four species what's the energy the spiritual energy of the four species actus unity the energy of the four species is unity what's the connection with unity in the four species and that explains very simple because we know when it comes to the lulav so the lulav is made up of a lot of leaves but when you look at a little if you don't see a lot of leaves it's all together matter of fact if it's all spread out it could be a question whether it's kosher so lulav is all a bunch of leaves all together unity not only that every one of the leaves that's together if you if you're able to you can actually split each one in half don't because you want to be unified but every leaf is two parts that are together and then the whole of us together so you see clearly when it comes to love that it's all together the hadassim which is the myrtle so it says in the torah enough it's a voice and it has to be specifically of ice which basically all three leaves are coming out together so it's unified all the way up and it's actually a beautiful beautiful uh um a leaf which is the myrtle then you have the willow so the willow grows um all together it grows one one next to each other all together like in groups and bunches which is unity from the growth then you have the esteric the estroguino it grows on the on on the tree a whole year that means it's unified from the beginning to the end of the year it's all together now what does that mean it's unified because we know that throughout the year there's different seasons there's the summer there's the winter the fall the spring it's cold it's hot it's rainy it's dry all the different seasons an esrig so two points number one is it tolerates all the seasons doesn't get affected by it but more importantly and this is the key point an asterisk actually grows from every one of the seasons so when you look at an esrig what created that beautiful estreg is literally the every different season cold hot rainy dry every one of those created the beauty of that asterisk so in esther resembles the real beauty of unity not only that a real um equality esterg actually remains on a tree for three years so not only is it unified through all the seasons but it has we know in judaism three is a kazakh it establishes a kazakh where it's strong and it gets strengthened from three years from all different all different all different seasons now so therefore so since we see that the lulav the hadassim the ar voice and the asterisk is all about all about unity so therefore when we take the lull of an estrogen specifically in the sukkah which is really all about all about unity that allows the energy of the market to be internalized within us why because unity is the concept we're unified what's the unity in terms of the serot so in kabbalah it says that the unity the sphere which represents unity is called das so for example an intellect we have ideas bino knows that development is but das is the one that unifies all these ideas you can have tremendous ideas and so many details what are you going to do with it das is the one that unifies it and another term in kabbalah uses das is a mccasher dash is a connector das is the one that connects everything so unity comes from das das creates unity and the arrizal says that if you want to have real unity work on your dos if you're not getting along with yourself you're not getting along with somebody else you got to work on the dos das is key to unity and as rubber explains very simple we see it by a person somebody that has in the world of kabbalah it's called moychin the godless which means technically it translates as a huge um intellect and uh or specifically with das this the not only in terms of but as a package specifically we're talking about the level of das or cabal it's called daite recover he has a huge uh ray of das his dance is wide he's able to tolerate something and the opposite in other words like this if someone tells you right now it's day so if it's day wow what does right now wednesday someone says it's night they'll say what do you mean it's not that night it's day but if someone with a huge level of das couldn't appreciate that maybe right now it's night right now whether it's on a spiritual level physical however you appreciate it das means you're able to tolerate something and totally the opposite of it das allows you to be able to see things from your perspective and from the other person's perspective and that you're both right das has the ability to be able to get along with every single person whether they they whether whether they agree with you they disagree with you the same the same view a different view das can handle it all now since das is something that can handle everything and everybody it can handle opposites so therefore das has the power to create real unity and and therefore the the four species which is all about actus which is all about unity which all comes from us allows you to internalize the powerful market that's in this in a internalized way like the altered says actually in tanya that das in relation to khachman bino that das is called his casus that is the connecting part so in other words like this the the the market which is very very powerful we can't internalize it the marketplace the heavy energy taster we want to internalize it how can you internalize it by looking at the lull of on the asteroid and focusing and realizing that it's really all one whether it's through the lull of energy that's all together the hadas and the way all growing together the myrtles they grew together the esteric that actually it is what it is based on being able to tolerate everything that's unity that comes through das when a person develops their dos that's how you'll be able to internalize whole new levels of energy so specifically through das you will be able to get along with every part of yourself and once you're able to get along with every part of yourself even the parts that maybe you don't like or you don't agree with you both get a lot along with anyone else out there das is extremely powerful and that's really the essence of little the mitzvah of lulav and esrig to internalize that through the idea of das andrew explains that not only is das the idea of dos and unity applies to the little of an esrig but even when it comes to the sukkah the sukhari that resembles unity why because we know for example all the jewish people could sit in one sukkah and even when you go into a sukkah it's not like in a cheer you can have a higher chair a lower chair this one eats this this one eats that and the sucker and so on and so forth when it comes to the sukkah everyone's sitting in the same exact sukkah like for example when the jewish people left egypt so we know that one of the opinions was some well in reference to the sukkah was the clouds of glory we all were in the same clouds of gory together every single one of us as an individual were in the same sukkah and we internalize that in a practical way that we're all unified we're all unified with hashem and the goal is that we should actually be able to internalize with our dos that we're really really one and we do that every single every single one of the seven days of yontif we internalize that we're really really one and by taking the love we we internalize that we're wrong with everybody we're able to get along with everyone and we will get along with everyone and then what happens is when it comes to shminyatsares we get the real gift because we get a whole whole new level of awareness and which is interesting is driver says that this powerful das that allows you to get along with everybody what's the source of dust so we know for example when you count the sphero normally you count hakuman bean or das whatever's mean you don't count us there's times we don't count to ask you count kessler because you see das the power to be able to connect and get along with everybody is actually connected to the highest sphere and that's how powerful das is and that's how powerful unity is and when a person is working on unity then you'll be able to internalize literally you're about to bring in kessler into your life because kessler is makif but how do you bring kessler by through the da through you see the das or kesser and the two connected from the highest through dash you're able to internalize the most powerful gifts that are out there based on this story continues on to explain what the verse says we asked before if it says we should all sit in the sukkah what does it mean we already said that so the rubber explains very simple what is the torah telling us what does that mean the market of powerful energy from shauna young kippur we have to internalize we internalize the what through the idea of unity and then we're able to bring in whole new levels which happens on schmidt service but throughout our life it happens constantly and every single day it happens constantly services where do we have the strength and the wherewithal and we should be focused to bring in this powerful energy and whoever says because ezra what does ezra mean ezrach means it's referring to the future on the future when the our essence of honor summer our souls that we have which is a part of god is going to shine in the future when mashiach comes right now it's within us when mashiach comes our neshamas are going to sign and the the shama is actually called a sun a sun comes an idea of it says in psalms masculine that the the the part of our neshama which is very very strong which is going to shine when mashiach comes that that gives us the power and the rabbi explains why is that so because the the summer that we have so we know that hashem's name yud kevke so every one of the uh letters of hashem's name so for example you're dispelled it's about it's a letter you'd but if you spell it out it's your involved hey could be a hay with an alive a hay with a hay or a hay with a yun and the same thing also evolved could be vov with evolve or with a yud and the same thing with the last tape but if you spell it out with a yud which is referring to the shama it actually spells out 72. we know in kabbalah it's called shame the letter the the name hashem the white spell that with it's the 72 name of hashem now this powerful 72 name of hashem that's the source of our neshomer the a-sun now when a person is connected to isn't shaman that's how you have the power to create real unity to connect to das and to bring in the moon should be preemius and then you'll be bringing new levels of muno so everybody asks one second as rocky's saying is in the future when mashiach comes this the the shrama is going to shine but how am i going to deal with it today i need strength today to be able to be unified to be able to draw on the powerful the powerful energy and divers is very very simple because since we're dealing with the youth cave of k the infinity of hashem which is above time so even though technically it's going to happen in the future but since hashem is above time therefore it happens now and specifically one that doesn't happen on the holiday sukkot so the represents that hazard called israel means that today in sukkos arnold shaman that's going to physically shine in the future already shines today and that gives us the power to create real das create real unity that will allow us to internalize the most powerful levels and whatever finish off he quotes another uh powerful teaching that says that um the verse says you should take pre-ether referring to the uh esrig kappas tomorrow referring to the love enough it's always so there's a commentary that says every one of these is referring to hashem the ester is referring to hashem the lulav is referring to hashem the hadassim the rav it's all referring to hashem what does it mean hashem because there's many levels to hashem and the goal is we should take hashem every one of the most powerful love is hashem and we should take it and we should internalize hashem within us how do we internalize hashem within us because we all know it says that hashem and the torah and the jewish people are one so that our job and circus is the most powerful levels of we should internalize it we internalize it by learning torah and especially learning siddhis and the rubber finished off with a beautiful blessing that should really be when we're now we're ready we're busy with our preparations for building the sukkah and actually fulfilling the mitzvah of the sukkah and the mitzvah of the the four species and this year we're all merit to the revelation of every single jew caller ezra all the jews will be together in the sukkah in one big sukkah because mashiach is going to come he's going to take us out of gulos and he's going to bring us to the base hamikdash it's a great powerful discourse it's only really [Music] a tool to know how to prepare for this beautiful yomtiv powerful energies and let's hope and pray that by learning the discourse and studying the discourse michelin will be able to merit to bring in the powerful market energies in an internal way and once we internalize that we'll get the whole new level and again the the the the way to do it is very very simple it's spelled out by developing our das which translate practically in actos and as long as we can get along with everyone by through the gift of das will be will merit to have all the greatest infinite blessings internalized in a beautiful real meaningful way so i want to wish you all a happy success we know suka's man comes and there's no greater simcha than hashem looking down and seeing all his children getting along happy success
