Kabbalah: 2 Levels of Compassion. אדם כי יקריב A new Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on this we're going to be learning a beautiful so the discourse in the Reba the name of the discourse is called Odom the Reba said this Hasidic discourse on the on the night of Tuesday which was before you can slay the 10 day in the month of Kiss slave in the year tough Shin mem hey which is exactly 38 years ago so again let's see the discourse is based on the verse where it says in this week's total portion of postures by equal Odom a person from amongst you that will bring a sacrifice to Hashem from the cattle from the Sheep Etc so whoever brings from a single discourse from the middle of Reba who who when there was discourse was in honor of good kiss slave which was the anniversary of the celebration of freedom for the for the Middle River and he said this discourse which was just um just then printed so in other words even though you'd kiss the words of the other so you can see obviously because the discourse was printed then that's why the river said about the third portion of aykro discourse and he says based on the verse and Psalms where King David says Hashem men an animal Hashem helps so he saw something here that you see from there there's two levels in other words there is the seed of man and the seed of the animal this man Adam and behemoth So based on this he explains the myth order explains that's when the bird said the verse says a person from amongst you that will bring clothes and it says from the animal so it's referring to the Zara Adam the seed of man the seed of animal in other words and what does it mean the seed of man and the seed of an animal and explains that Zara Adam and Zara behemo we're not talking about a human being and a physical animal we're talking about the zero other than the seed of man and the seed of an animal which is in the person which means every one of us have a Adam which is referring to our Godly soul and every one of us have an animal just referring to our animal Soul so that's now changes the whole verse Adam a human being for amongst us is going to bring many behemo referring to the animal soul in other words Adam The Godly soul is going to go ahead and Elevate the animal soul to our sins that's a whole different Insight it's not still gonna and a person an animal no we each have a Godly Soul we each have an animal soul and The Godly soul is going to work with the animals all to transform it so that the trans their animals so will also be dedicated to Hashem as we know the river says that the Godly soul is referring to zaragum the seed of man like it says clearly the spirit of man which is referring to the Godly Soul so the spirit is focused on high on God and godliness Etc in other words what does God and God is practically so The Godly soul is busy what it what its occupation is what an interest is is learning Torah and doing the message of Hashem on the other hand the animal solar says the spirit of the animal that goes down below what does that mean like he explains that he has wands and desires materialistic the the desires there's one some Pleasures physical Pleasures so this is two different worlds we each trap within us two worlds we have our Godly Soul who wants to learn Torah wants to do mitzvot um and cleave to Hashem versus the animal Soul wants materialistic things physical enjoyment of Life Etc so that's what the verse says when a person is coming close not just a Godly soul but he's elevating the animal soul so the other is elevating the animal soul in a way of karoi that's bringing it close to Hashem and like literally like the little translation of the sacrifice is that you bring the animal into the temple on the Altar and it gets consumed and gets it as a gift to a a to God I like to explain many many places that when you bring a sacrifice I'll say it in Aramaic that when the person brings a sacrifice that sacrifice literally goes up to Hashem so the same thing also the human being the natural kiss brings the never Bahamas the animal soul and brings it and elevates it hopefully to the to the highest level close to Hashem not only that River says so what happens like this so you you might think that you have The Godly Soul which wants to learn Target new mentally you have the animal cell that wants any materialistic and involved in physical Pursuits so he's elevating only the animal Soul the only when it gets elevated what is the animal Soul so the driver says no that when you bring the animal so close to Hashem it elevates an upgrade in the Zara Adam and The Godly Soul as well because the fact is when someone brings a sacrifice yes the sacrifice gets elevated like you said rather than save but the person that brings the sacrifice also achieves atonement also becomes closer to Hashem and like the ramban says clearly that when a person brings a sacrifice you have to meditate that the truth is we should have been burnt on the Altar for the things we've done wrong Etc but God with a tremendous kindness allowed us to to switch um but by bringing these the animals of sacrifice and the fat and the blood of the sacrifice in place of the human being so in other words the river's saying it's like this that we're dealing with The Godly Soul the animal Soul The Godly Soul elevates the animal soul but when The Godly Soul elevates the animal Soul The Godly Soul itself receives an upgrade as well and whoever says he'd like to connect this with the Hasidic discourses of the khabar bayam including the middle of who as we said the rebel said this in honor of the anniversary of the of the Redemption of the middle of going out of prison for for spreading in reference to the uh Redemption of micheloba which starts those who said this could start with with the verse of pada that you redeem with King David says in Psalms you redeemed my soul from those that were close to me in other words what does that mean so literally speaking anytime there's there's there's there's a closeness and there's a war on a physical level and that's what the the verse is specifically referring to what King David is talking about so where does that come from that comes from the closeness and the war that the person is going through like it says in the prophets the whole world is in our heart so whatever's taking place is really it starts from within us so what what what is what is taking place the war that was in us so whoever explains the the essence of the war that takes place in the human being is the War Between The Godly soul and the animal soul and the and the and the essence of the war is uh between The Godly soul and animal soul is is so that the Godly salsa have an impact an influence on the animal soul that the animal Soul should change a little it's it's Essence and its personality so it was just like there's a physical world which King David was talking about we also have an internal War we have The Godly Soul we said wants to learn Torah and do minutes for you we have the animals so the once materialistic Pursuits and the and the Godly soul is trying to inspire the animals so to be dedicated to Hashem now this combat that takes place between The Godly soul and the animal soul is in a way of curve it's close in other words the goal is to to to um to uh bring close the animal soul to Hashem and that's why the verse says in other words that with multiples with me because the ultimate goal is to elevate the robin to elevate the multiple multiple multiplicity which is referring to the spirit of the animal soul and that's why the verse says that the Redemption is um in a way that it that it affects infects not only the animal cell but also it affects the God he saw that The Godly Soul gets elevated so the point you're saying is this idea we've learned before about in reference to Adam kiyake also applies uh to the verse that the uh that the that the that it's spoken on the discourse and especially with the mythical about the Shalom now this this verse that says now she said that adding a whole new dimension in the struggle between The Godly soul and the animal soul that the Redemption doesn't take place where it's uh collateral damage or which chaos but it's done in a way of Peace it's under the way of Peace what does that mean practically what does that mean practically in other words the the war that takes place between The Godly soul and the animal Soul when does that take place when does The Godly Soul supposed to speak uh try to elevate the animal the animals should be inspired to learn turn into Mitchells that happens during prayer when you're praying so The Godly soul is praying but he's trying to bring the animals all along the animals also be excited about prayer and as we know that the prayers come in place of the original sacrifices that were done in the temple now what is the idea of the Redemption that's done in in peace that this war between the goalies God is on the animal soul is based on what on learning Torah why because we know that the whole reason why God gave the Torah it's a very powerful statement the reason why God gave us the Torah the reason was to create peace in the world so Torah when you learn Torah the purpose of terrorists to create peace in other words even the place where you have to deal with conflict you have a Godly Soul you have an animal Soul Torah has the power that does it brings peace and it does in a peace away so that's generally learning Torah whether you're learning learning English now you're learning talmud commentaries Torah creates peace and we all know when you learn terrorists very very peaceful but specifically we're entire creates the greatest piece the greatest piece of toy rug happens by learning hasidut Kabbalah mysticism because that's the ultimate in peace and story that's like the highest level of Peace why is that because we all know when you learn the talmud is a question there's an answer and there's an argument but there's no question answers there's no there's no struggle there's there's no arguments there's no there's no lack of clarity like it says clearly in Ryan Muhammad which is in the same from the Zohar and it's brought down in short down also in the in the powerful holy letters of the outer rabba and also in in Tanya it says over there clearly that in Primus it's all it's the highest level of Peace So what you're ever saying is that this war that takes place in God is only animal soul is done in a way of Peace why because when does the War take place it takes place during prayer but we're supposed to learn turn beforehand and the terror creates a a energy of peace and especially when you learn it creates what the ultimate peace then the verse continues on to say that when you're bringing so to speak a sacrifice when you're elevating the animal Soul so it says you bring him in a bucker from the cattle and we're not saying from the Sheep so he explains explains this course when we say cattle what are we referring to we're referring to the face of the sir of the ax and we know the face of the ox is on the left side now the left in in in the in the world of the Sphero the left is associated with Guru with severity what's the what's the idea of the left with severity so he explains because we know it says in the talmud that a person should always now say the Hebrew words a person should always create um an insistence in other words in in a strong way um in a in a judgmental way against the opposition which basically means we have strange thoughts and ideas and feelings so you have to go ahead and create a heart guzzle you have to actually push very very strong um to get rid of all the negativity and how do you and by getting rid of negativity you get rid of all the all the uh animalistic desires and that comes from the place of Guru so who knows what river is explaining is so the goal is The Godly soul is to elevate the animal soul and which we've done in a way of Peace by learning Toro but he says that sometimes which is referring to what the idea of playing sharp from the left and sometimes you actually have to use Guru in certain cases now besides that there's another way that's one way the first way is bakar which is referring to Guru now another way where you elevate the animal Soul so it says I don't say only bucker it says we're not selling from the Sheep what is the idea spiritually of trying sheep so it says if you look in the Torah who was the person that took care of the sheep yaakov yake was a royal sign he took care of the sheep now why is that because we know in the others avram is is the idea of compassion so yaakov represents the idea of compassion and he took care of the sheep which is also compassion I'm like the author explains in time yet length that the attribute of yaakov is the entry of compassion in other words what does it mean practically to awaken this thought in the beginning right in the beginning it should all be based on compassion and a lot of compassion what kind of come what's the compassion for you have compassion for because the fact is we talk about Godly soul and which is a part of God and the this Godly Soul part of God came down from being connected with God and it came away from its source into us and it came into never used a harsh term it comes into almost like the skin of a snake the god think about think about this The Godly soul is literally down in this materialistic World stuck down here so then you have compassion for what for the fact that the Godly Soul stuck down here and especially when you remember and you meditate on your situation not only your physical situation but your animalistic situation because the fact is The Godly souls are part of God and it has to deal with the body and has to deal with the with the animal soul and this effect it affects the Godly soul and it continues on to time to explain and that's why it says in in in in the Torah and process like yatesa so it says by yeeshach which again we know now yaakov represents compassion he kissed Rachel and he picked up his voice and he cried another explains and Tanya beautifully and he says what was the idea of kissing and crying is the physical kiss and the physical crying but basically he was Awakening compassion from a very very high level so when a person meditates and and draws Down The Compassion of yaakov on his Godly soul and on the animal Soul so then you are able to create the elevation of what of the of of of of the of the sacrifice which basically the animal Soul so as we learned three components one is it's done in peace number two whatever it says Booker sometimes you need to have guura you have to somehow use a little discipline and but then you have the idea of sewing which is all about compassion having compassion about the fact of The Godly soul is down unfortunately stuck in this world dealing with you with the body and with the animal soul and that awakes within compassion I can bring some Tanya where Yonker kissed Rachel and he continues on to explain the discourse there's another level there's a level we know there's different types of sacrifices there's also the sacrifice of a bird I'd like to explain later on in the verses after afterwards in other words what is the source of the bird so we know what comes from plain nature from the face of the eagle and the face of the Eagles also compassion just like Yakov as we know the fact is that nasher's compassion like the Rashi brings is still twice in the Torah we're we're basically the way The Nasher has tremendous compassion for its children that actually carries it on top because it protects the child be more than the protects itself so if that's the case you're going to say if the the the the the the Sheep is compassion and the bird is compassion so what's the difference and Robert explains beautifully so exists what's the difference between the compassion of the sheep and the compassion of the bird which basically comes from playing Nester from the ego so he explains as follows there's two Dimension level there's two different levels of compassion there's a level of compassion from the Sheep which is in other words ultimately through tremendous meditation you come to compassion but in order to get to The Compassion you have to meditate on your situation on the fact that God The Godly Souls down in this world and what you're going through and then once you work on your intense meditation you're able to awake within you compassion so in other words sign represents compassion but compassion it takes work to bring it out however the compassion of a bird playing that shirt the eagle you don't either you don't need to meditate but it's a natural compassion and this level Robert said you can say that the level of compassion for the eagle from the bird what why is that because what is the whole idea of a bird a bird basically hybrid over the Earth in other words it's not on the earth eight saline sheep so since it's connected to the Earth so it has compassion but since it's connected Earth if they awaken the compassion versus a burr then the eagle because it flies high so therefore it's a whole different spiritual level and therefore the compassion obviously is stronger and consistent without Awakening it and whoever goes on to explain he says as follows on this whole spiritual work of Adam so he brings another verse from the prophet that says Hashem Hashem is with me um to help me what does it mean to help and singular why does he say Israel he's helping me in a plural term so this is because the help comes from plural ways number one is by learning Torah the other one is by by doing mitzvot and more specifically by by praying as we know that we mentioned right before that prayer is in place of the sacrifices and more and more in in in in in details we know as we learned before already that when a person brings a sacrifice so the the the um the spirit and the energy of the sacrifices goes till till the infinite part of Hashem get to help me through learning Torah through doing Mitzvahs through praying Etc and when a person brings a sacrifice that affects the person that's bringing the sacrifice and in all the levels all the levels of the person a in the level of the person which is called the Mazel the the the the powerful energy of the nasama Which is higher than the part that which is in the body and both on the on the Sherman that's also in the body as well as well and um and also these two levels of The Godly soul is the level of what of like we learned in the beginning except the door of course the Zara of them and Sarah Bahama so there's the whole there's an elevation that takes place in all the levels in the soul and even the way that this comes into the physical body and so this is why the verse says Hashem in other words besides the fact that we do our part but the fact is we have to remember Hashem is there to help us and just like when in the temple we all know when you brought a sacrifice where the fire come from you brought the sacrifice where the fire came from heaven so the same thing also when we do our part we learn Terror we do miss us we pray Hashem will do his part as well and when we do our avoidal we'll come to the to the level where it says and like he explains in the discourse that the Hashem is going to help us a lot and so this never finish off and he says so it should be very very soon and very very quickly that we're gonna go ahead and build the base of migdash and it's going to happen quickly in our days and once you build we're going to be able to bring the sacrifices like it's the Mitzvah of Hashem like Hashem wants us to do and it's all going to happen with the Redemption the true Redemption the complete Redemption through machine so again it's a short has discourse but it's a powerful acidic discourse about um our our ability to elevate our animal Soul through toyron through with learning Torah doing Mitchells and praying and it's all done in the way of Peace when we Elevate the animals so we actually are elevating ourselves to the highest levels and like Jordan finished this course let's hope and pray by elevating ourselves and elevating the world we're all getting married from a sheafsa kanu and our next class will be in yerushalayim have a great and blessed week
