welcome to our class on siddhis we're
going to be learning this week a
beautiful acidic discourse in the river
the name of the discourse is called
kodoshim to you you should be holy the
river said this kasich discourse and
shabbat is
if that year was the 28th day of the
month of nisan it was also the shabbos
that blessed the month of er in the year
tough shin mem alif 41 years ago so
again the civic discourse is based on
the verse in this victory portion where
it says kedushin to you you should be
holy ki kadaish only because i am hashem
i'm holy
there's another verse that says he's
them you should be holy the yeshum and
you should be holy so again you have
three times conduction to you you should
be holy this gaddish them
three times and hashem says because i am
holy so the madrid says as follows
it gives an analogy of a king
that the people in his country made him
three crowns
so they deliver him three crowns what
does the king do with three crowns
so he takes one crown he puts it on his
head
new and he takes the two crowns he can
only get one crown and he puts it on the
head of his children
so the metro says the same thing also
that the people we crown hashem with
three crowns we say cuddles
three times in the prayers that we say
kardash so what does hashem do with
these three crowns
so one cuddle she puts on his head and
the other two he puts on the head of the
jewish people and that's why it says
speak to the jewish people conducive you
those are the three crowns that's what
the medra says now
it says represents like this even though
in the uh in the meadows it seems
that um
hashem only gave the jewish people two
crowns
but the fact is
that that since it says you should be
holy ki kardashian because i am holy the
third crown that i'm holy
that one that he put on his head and
says in the same verse of kardashian to
you kikadeshani
so
obviously the third crown the third
kardash also has a connection with
jewish people technically he gave us two
but the one that he keeps is connected
to the one he gave us so we have a
connection to all three
and ever says you could say
that's why it says in the madrid
that the the the people of the country
made him three crowns because the jewish
people also call the people the country
so we have a connection to all the three
crowns so there's something about the
three crowns what are the idea of the
three crowns so ever explains like this
trevor says it's based on what it says
in the mishnah imper in berkeley voice
which that year that shabbat was they
learned the first uh uh chapter picky
obviously it's a little different
schedule
so
it sounds as follows there are three
things the world is standing
one of the three things torah
prayer
and
good deeds
in the world is standing on three things
learning torah prayer and doing mitzvahs
and it's brought down in the discourses
that these three components of torah
learning torah prayer and doing mitzvahs
is corresponds to the three cuddles to
three holinesses
and like there are brings that that the
altar explains in the torah is classical
hasidic discourses on the parsha and
actually practice hammer which we read
uh you know everything we read the on
shabbat men called that shabbos that the
three crowns
which is com which is connected to the
three kadaish at the angel that the
angels say
so the first kadaish
is the avoid of
milo which means we we transform
ourselves to transform the physical
world and make it a godly place
the second kadaish is
that's when the energy comes down from
high down to this world and the third
kodaish is when it goes from high down
to low and even lower so again to recap
so there are three kurdish one is lamina
we do our work down here the other one
is where the light comes down from on
high
and the third one is it comes up when i
but it goes in even deeper and these are
the three components of toyota
in other words
as follows i was going to explain
the first kadoish
which is referring to we said no matter
my lobbies we do our work down here we
elevate the world
that's the work of prayer
why because what's prayer prayer is
transforming the world transforming
yourself transforming your animal soul
now this cottage when a person
transforms himself
and hashem gets this beautiful crown
that that's created by our prayers
so hashem goes ahead and and uses that
for his crown like it says that we
create crowns for hashem where's the
crowns created from from our prayers so
the point is that our prayers is
allah and that's what hashem uses to put
a crown on his head from our prayers
now
what's the idea behind it they're
explaining this
what does kadesh mean holy so kaddish
means holy but what does it mean holy
kaddish means it's holy it's separated
and it's disconnected from down here
this physical
reality and where
limited by the physical reality there's
kaddish we're elevated from the from the
physical reality and that's basically a
prayer
that there's a ladder that's sitting on
the ground like it says in reference to
jacob's dream there's a ladder on the
ground and the head of the ladder is on
high in other words you're going you're
elevating from the physical on to the
spiritual
up to the point that you want to leave
the world you want to transform the
animal soul
you're willing to go on a serious
nephesh you're willing to go on
self-sacrifice you're going to give it
all up to have a godly experience
in other words when you stand and pray
you stand totally
like a servant that's standing in front
of his master physicality materialism
worries nothing nothing disturbs you
because you're totally on a spiritual
high up to the point of mysteriousness
and
this therefore look at this powerful
condition a person disconnects in the
world that's connected hashem that's why
hashem takes this prayer and puts it on
his head
so prayer is the first level of kaddish
again so to recap before we go further
what's the first kardash the first card
this is
transforming the physical world up to
the level of messier establish
prayer and that's what hashem puts on on
his head what's the second kadaish and
what's the third kardos which we said is
which means godly energy coming down
into this world that's a torah study
because torah studies the torah of
hashem the godly torah and when you
learn torah you're bringing godliness
into the world not elevating you
bringing godliness into the world and
also acts of kindness kamil
charity and all the mitzvahs that means
you're bringing godliness into the world
no matter
and those are the two holiness that
hashem gave to the jewish people
hashem gives us the ability to learn
torah and do mixed voice and bring
godliness into the world
and there ever says basis we understand
what the meant what the verse says in
the prophets that lawyers
and to love it uh to love it until he
called it bitty my daughter that's one
expression
my sister
and then he called it the level of what
of mother what's the three what's the
three components so the relationship of
a mother is that's referring to the
the the route of of of work of prayer
up to the point of a serious nephesh a
mother self-sacrifice
why because eemi
we know in the she wrote so you have
an aim the mother the the father and the
mother the father is referring to
and the mother is referring to beena why
cause from being here comes all the
midos so eemi on a spiritual is
referring to the sphere of bena and
that's actually the world which is
called the world of freedom it's totally
expansive why because it's totally
miserable snappish so eemie is connected
to bina it's connected idea
mysteriousness and that's
the first level of the first level of
kodak
that's the highest level then you have a
choice my sister beating my daughter
that's referring to on a spiritual level
it's referring to idea of learning torah
and doing mitch voice
and and you know even though it's it
says specifically gaming
acts of kindness but all the missiles go
under this category of guinness
and that's the cuddlish of the second
and third college
now
so the episode like this even though
what we just learned
what's the first kadaish
the prayer and that's the crown that
sean puts on his head
and why is it what's the connection with
khadijah because you're disconnecting
you're disconnecting from the world
throughout something else
even though we just learned that the
kadaish is the first kardashian
that's the one that hashem puts on his
head which is referring to prayer and
mysteriousness
now why is that because prayer and
mysteriousness you're disconnecting
no matter what you're going on high but
nevertheless even though that's unique
and that's the strong suit of prayer but
also torah even the terrorism
lamato it's the opposite and middle
school it's also almighty mata but
they're also called kaddish why
you're coming back and throw it why is
it called kaddish because obviously also
have a component of creating a a
separation and a a disconnect why is
that nervous like this the author
explains in tanya
that when a person learns torah and a
person does mistakes even though you're
bringing down godliness into the world
so you're really connecting to the world
but nevertheless it also has a component
of mysterious nephesh
why because when a person learns turning
there's mixed voice so even though it's
but it is connecting the circumstances
because you're giving yourself over
you're totally disconnecting the world
you're bringing godliness into the world
so it has a component of mysteriousness
it has a component of self-sacrifice and
self-sacrifice what are you willing to
give up self that is
also kaddish that's when you're
separating and disconnecting so to speak
from the physical reality now
but nevertheless there's different
levels rebel says investors never just
three levels just like the three levels
of conducion like we learned before in
depth in other words even though
the after rights in tanya that when it
comes to torah and mit's voice there's
mysteriousness but nevertheless
a mitzvah
is limited in hebrew it's called
medieval is limited why because
generally speaking so in general
there's 613 commandments it's not 614
it's not 612. there's exactly a certain
amount and we know you know how to add
and yellow subtract
not only that
every single mitzvah
is
confined to a time shabbos isn't shabbos
not not thursday not monday the holidays
have a set time et cetera every missile
has a place a certain this is only
applying the line of israel and so on
and so forth so the mitsubishi a there's
only a certain amount of minutes so it's
b they're tied to time and space
and um
and like drug brings a beautiful idea
then where there is like explained in in
another place in reference to uh with
sustainable torah satoru says when
hashem instructed aaron what to do so
torah tells us
tell us the praise of aaron that he
didn't change
that's the praise of aaron hashem says
to do it but that's a praise he didn't
change for sure that's that should be a
given you listen to hashem but the
answer is like this no because even
though aaron was so inspired
and he was willing to go on a serious
nevish and he was willing to go and sell
sacrifice to fulfill him commandments
but nevertheless so when you go into
mysterious defense you lose focus from
boundaries
so if it's pray you're in your
mysterious snappish and you spend an
extra hour praying and you go deeper
okay that's fine but it won't be going
in the seriousness to do a mitzvah
instead of keeping shabbos only
champions he do it sunday or monday
that's a problem
because
let's say i want to i want to keep
travis another day i want to keep coach
i want to keep uh put on two pairs of
film and so on and so forth that's a
problem why because the the mitzvots are
given in a time given in a space
and even though you're inspired
even though you write from a serious
nervous you have to stick to the
formality of the mitzvah and that's why
deborah explains beautifully that's the
the praise for aaron even though i was
building the temple and he was doing
everything rashaan told him and it was a
trend of excitement leishino he didn't
add to the mitzvah and that's an
important component of michelin you have
to remember even though we get excited
but you got to do the myth the way it is
we can't change we can't add because
mitchells are limited so again so you
see that even though mysterious
difference is amazing when it comes to
mitzvah it's still limited it's limited
to the mitzvah of the of the dimension
of the midst
so that is the first component of prayer
which basically mamato mila the
messieurs knives etc when you have then
what do you have a higher level the next
kadaish the next kardashian is the
kardashian we said of torah
what is the idea of torah
toyo we said that's drawing down the
light down in this world we're living in
a physical world when you learn torah
you bring light into the world
now but what's important is to bring the
turtle down into this world as we know
it says clearly torah is not in heaven
terry was given down to this world and
not only that
it says in the prophets
began
which means he's sitting in the garden
and it says that our our friends are
coming to listen to our our our the
words of torah which means the matrix
explains on the verse of shira shirin
what does that mean that the palmalia
shall myla the whole heavenly abode
and even hashem so to speak comes down
to hear terror down here
so terra is all about bringing the
godliness down here and god and his
whole abode comes to hear what does tera
have to say down in this world now
even though toyota is down really in
this world but nevertheless torah's
terrorist hashem it's a terrible hashem
it's godly terror as we said as it says
clearly i mean
when god gave me it says me now i am
from heaven you heard my voice
terrorists from heaven
and up and to the point we know that
terror is not limited to time and space
like it says for example whoever learns
the laws of the of a sacrifice
is if you brought the sacrifice or you
have to bring the sacrifice and the
answer is because terror has the power
it's not limited to time and space
not only that
we learned in the talmud that uh
tourists compared to fire
as it says clearly how they call the the
words of hashem are like fire and as
what does that mean the power of terry
like fire so even though terry said
before as well matlab if a terrorist has
a component
it's like fire what does that mean that
toyota is so
on fire that turret cannot
be susceptible to impurities
so the same just like fire is not as
susceptible to impurities the same thing
also terry's not sucked up to impurities
and we're talking about what type of
impurity a gross impurity
and as it says that in reference to the
um
claying god or the high priestess
that that purity did not
it didn't happen to him i know even
though he unfortunately got it he was
able to he he can come in contact with
different levels of impurity but in even
a level of the worst level of impurity
something dead et cetera but this type
of impurity even though it's easier to
come in contact with
and as we know for example why is it
easier wouldn't be it easier it's it's a
lighter type of impurity because you
only need to have um to go through to uh
to go to the mix fund and to wait till
night to become clean but nevertheless
the queen did not experience it why
didn't he
because even though
that it's such a it's such a simple
purity but nevertheless it's a gross
impurity and and but but nevertheless
the queen because he was in such a high
state the purity didn't affect him
as we know that torah
is not macabre tumor tori doesn't
receive impurity why because compared to
fire just like fire cannot become impure
it's anything else the turret can't
become impure and that's the quality
that torah has an edge so to speak over
mitzvot why because any mitzvah you want
to do a mitzvah you have to do a missile
with something which is pure
and something which is kosher you can't
throw in the middle of something which
is not pure not kosher like it says
clearly in it it says clearly that in
order to do holy work you have to do it
with purity and things which are closer
however when it comes to target you
learn about nine pure things in the
torah because terror is not makable
tumor torah is much more powerful
so on one hand we're saying a terrorism
high it's so powerful fire it doesn't
become impure like the priest etc but
nevertheless
what's the purpose of terry not to stay
on high the purpose of terry take that
powerful line and bring it down to this
world as we know terror is not in heaven
and that's why terrorists compared to
fire and like the outdoor explains them
fine what's the idea of explaining the
fight for before we learned either fire
something it's so powerful but there's
another component why it's compared to
fire like the author explains
in tanya
just like if you have fire
fire but in order for the fire to burn
you need a wick
you need a you need a candle for to hold
on to it without a wick without the
candle it's going to go up to its source
into the source of fire and high which
is underneath the sphere of the of the
moon and you're not going to have fire
down here
so in other words you need to bring down
the you need to the you need the wick to
bring down the the fire down there the
same thing also since toyota's compared
to fire so you need toyota to
you need turret to come down into the
physical into the into the physical
world
so again so what do you see that torah
on one hand is very very high but terry
is all about drawing down the garlands
down to this world that's the cut that's
bringing it down into this world now
this that it says conduction to you
you should be holy now why should we be
holy so it says he called me because i'm
holy
in other words
so hashem is connecting our holiness of
torah
of mitt's voice with the holiness
of
hashem which is coming through prayer
in other words
the pray the the holiness of torah and
mitzvot is connected to kadeshoni
which that's the crown that hashem put
on himself
so everything comes from kikadesaniya
from the first component of prayer what
does that mean there are explains like
this
so we're learning is again you have the
holiness
which is prayed and that hashem put it
on his head then you have the teriot's
phrase but termites are connected to
prayer why is that never explained like
this
the author explains in the term precious
brocco and many many places at length
based on what it says in the talmud that
the prayer should be close to your bread
doesn't mean prayer should be closely
bed that means that when you get up in
the morning the first thing you do is
you go pray
so when do you study torah
afterwards so
you get up you pray and then you study
torah
after you study torah then you do
mitzvahs
so and like it says in in ghazal that
you go from basic knesses which are
plays to pray to base america's a place
of study and then you go do you know
your your work in the world
so what else let's recap so they're ever
saying it's like this kardashian to you
which is referring to learning toy run
doing it's voice drawing down in the
into this world but he called this
shawnee everything comes from prayer so
the order is as follows you get up in
the morning the first thing you have to
pray
after you pray then you learn torah
after you learn turmeric then you can do
the moment's voice
services one second we all know that
before you learn torah
that before you pray you also have to
learn because how are you going to know
what to pray there is a component of
learning before prayer there is a but
so it's a technical part that you're
learning first but it's not a quality of
learning that comes first the same thing
also when it comes to putting on doing
the mitzvah putting on your talents and
putting on your film before you pray
that's only as a preparation for prayer
notice again we learn before we pray
we put on thousands of doing myths
before but it's all preparation the per
the first thing that we do intensely is
a prayer torah study to prepare for
prayer we learn this we learn
mysticism before we pray why to prepare
us for prayer we put on talent film to
prepare us for the prayer or for example
we give charity before we pray it's all
to prepare us the prayers should be
strong
but the main work of doing mitzvos
charity and saying also putting on a
talus and filling etc
that all goes into the category of derek
harris which comes after
prayer
after star story and then we go on to do
the mitzvoth
and um
whoever says
this is the whole purpose why our soul
comes down to this world why do we come
down to this world it's off to create
the elevation
in other words to bring in those three
holinesses into the world
because the fact is the world stands on
these three things toyrah the reason why
we're here is to learn torah
to pray and to do mitch voice and not
only the world stands the world exists
the world exists based on these three
components
and literally when we do our avoider of
learning torah actually let's do it
first praying and learning torah and
doing mitzvahs will come to the ultimate
promise of hashem the hashem the melaka
earth god will be a king over the whole
world by yoimah
what does that mean practically we're
going to have the three holinesses
in a complete state and that's why it
says hashem will be the king what is the
king is it what is the king represented
by the crown that he puts on his head
but the king is going to be complete and
then we're going to have the completion
of learning torah the torah of moshiach
the ultimate of torah and also we're
going to have the completion of doing
mitzvot he's like like it's explained
at length in the disco of the of
the urban rash and also in terrorism
terrorists kaiyem about the completion
the ultimate uh full completion of doing
this voice
and surveillance is going to explain
what it means practically trouble says
we know that it says reference to
moshiach comes so the prophet says
that your god the teacher is not going
to be in hiding what does that mean
practically
that
not only
is the energy that created
going to be visible in the keyboard it's
called koyacha poi beniful but not only
is the energy of creative but literally
you're going to have the revelation of
yutake
youth
is not going to be concealed now you
look around you see a physical world but
when mashiach comes you're going to see
yud kevke all over the place as the
verse says clearly in the prophets
the infinite name of
him is like the sun and the shield so
the shield is ill kim that's what we got
that's the relationship we have in this
world and what's in protecting the
earthquake okay but when a mashiach
comes what's hashem going to do he's
going to take
the sun out of its shield that means
youth cave buff k is going to be totally
revealed
and
then we're going to reach the level
greater than the completion that when
hashem created the world because when
hashem created the world what does it
say gracious baralo came the beginning
of hashem elohim created the heaven and
the earth however mashiach comes it's
going to be much greater we're going to
have uk
and why is that going to be because when
the mashiach comes as ayla toilets
parrots and knows what's going to be
break all boundaries
what does that mean practically we're
going to have the revelation
of the crown that hashem put on his hand
and
and this revelation
how is that going to happen how are we
going to have the revelation of the
crown the youth keep okay that comes
literally through our work and goddess
when we do our work in exile like it
says in the it says clearly
that um
when we
are saying in hebrews
when we hear our shame the animal sheep
in the land we don't answer no someone
can embarrass you someone can ridicule
you but guess what you don't respond so
what happens when a person behaves in a
way
when someone mocks you someone makes fun
of you for learning torah for praying
for doing mitzvos for being religious
for being godly and you don't say a word
you don't respond
this whole debate do i respond terry
says clearly you want to have the great
reward don't say a word
they hear but they don't not like
they're in denial they didn't hear you
hear but you don't respond and on them
the verse says clearly above those that
love hashem which means i love hashem i
don't need to respond to anyone else i
learn i pray i do mitzvahs and i love
hashem my relationship with god
when mashiach comes the son yud kevka is
going to go out of his shield but that's
going to be revealed in other words
i never explains those that listen to
the way we're being ridiculed
and and clearly it spells out the
nations of the world
tell the jewish people based on a verse
in the prophets
where did your love go where did hashem
go look he forsook you in galas why did
he leave you here totally forgotten
why did hashem leave us
why did the khatan why why the qatar was
referring to hashem leave the cow the
bride in exile
how much is the
how much of the shear how much is it
enough that we should be in exile oh
would you representing this refills the
shirts design and gullets how much of
the measurement to be in exile but guess
what represents clearly we don't say a
word
and we don't say a word we merit for the
gift of what it says
we love hashem we don't have to respond
we're going to marry it says
the sun is going to come out of the
shield we're going to have it we're
going to benefit straight from you
we're going to merit the to the
revelation of the sham
hashem is going to take out the sun from
the shield and we're going to have
literally the uk buff case shining for
us
and when we do our actions
and our avoidance which means we're
going to pray
we study and we do mid-source in that
order we're going to merit
very very soon
to the
completion
of doing mitzvoids because the ultimate
level of doing mitsubishi is commits
mass
we're doing the mitzvah as the will of
hashem and that's going to be where
mashiach comes like like the rebel
mirage explains that lent in the long
discourse of akaka that why is that
going to be because since
what's going to happen why are we going
to have the completion he said something
very powerful
because the mashiach
everything is going to be complete
for example and the animal kingdom is
going to be complete the anima the
animals are only bring sacrifices
as it says clearly in their prophets the
guards even kevis you're going to have
the wolf will lie with the lamb
that's the ultimate completion in the
animal kingdom there's also going to be
the completion in the in the human
kingdom like it says clearly um
hashem the whole world will be filled
with knowing the knowledge of hashem
just like kamayam
when the water covers up the sea that's
what we're all gonna know hashem and
therefore what's gonna happen is since
the animal kingdom is going to complete
we're going to be incomplete so the
action of the qibla note are going to be
totally complete
and the same thing applies to all the
mitzvots
so that's in terms of what mitzvahs are
going to be complete we're also going to
have the completion of torah we're going
to learn the torah of mashiach
and literally we're going to learn all
the secrets
of the torah like rashford says you
shake him in the sheikah we're going to
learn all the powerful secrets of the
torah so we're going to the completion
completion of the mitzvos completion
of torah and we're going to have the
completion of the jewish people why is
that because what's going to come out is
the ishido we all have five levels
the highest level of
when does it ever come out once in a
while when we're threatened but the
we're going to be living with our yehidu
comes
and and how is our going to come out
because the yakida is the global yakita
is going to come out mashiach is a
global
when the global machine comes out our
yakit is going to come up so we're going
to have completion of its voice
completion of torah and the completion
of the jewish people your feet is going
to come out and how does this come all
come about it happens through
our actions and our work in gullahs like
the rambam writes very very clearly that
someone does one action or one word or
even one thought
if in a good way you literally tip the
scale and you tips the whole world for
good
and unto the unto the meritorious side
and you you cause for yourself
and for everybody else a salvation and a
true redemption and a success and
