Kindness has the Power to Draw Infinite Blessings והנה פרח מטה אהרן Kabalah Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the the name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse on which was the third day gim in the year 39 years ago so again the discourse is based on the verse in this week's Torah portion where it says STA and it forth alements so in the discourse of the AL at the end of this week Torah portion and the sing also the in theah of the Priestly blessings so they ask over there what's that why that it's Blossom specifically almonds and they explain because almonds is something that grows very very quickly compared to any other things that grow in from the fruit and and that's why it's actually called SK know even though means almonds but also it also sh because it also means quickly and like we find the verse in Jeremiah where it says I see a staff of almonds andem says because what I'm going to do I'm going to do very quickly so that's why it's almonds because almonds go very quick and he explains over there and this is connected to the priesthood of Aon like we know that literally that by the fact that Aon staff sprouted forth was a sign that he was the high priest and and that's Point number one also we know that one of the points of of the priesthood of iron is blessings and that's the Revolutionary idea of the Priestly blessings over any other blessings that comes very very quickly what do we say that never explains and he says as follows because we know the difference between a blessing and prayer and like to explain in many cic discourses especially of the re marash and especially in in the discourse of the year and he says over there as follows what is a prayer a prayer means we we're beseeching hasem we're we're down here asking Hashem to grant us something now what does that mean it's depended on our request if we don't ask nothing happening for sure so because it's dependent on our request so so therefore it could take a while till hasem responds that's Point number one and also either Hashem will respond or he won't respond or he'll Grant you half to request so prayer requires us to make the request it could could could come quickly could not come quickly could be partial half you don't know whatever Hashem has whatever hasem decides however when it comes to a blessing what's a blessing a blessing is you're just drawing down what already exists in other words so the the person giving the blessing is so to speak standing on high and he's pulling down for what exists in its source so when you draw this down it's it's complete and you don't have to do anything major difference again to recap prayer I'm asking either Hashem will ground or he won't ground either partially not partially blessing means it's in store the person giving the blessing is just drawing down what actually is there and its source now so that's the difference between a prayer and a blessing so you see a blessing is something that that that it's guaranteed issue however there's an upgrade in a blessing that's called a blessing from a priest over any other blessings why because when someone gives a blessing it's possible yes that you can have the blessing but it still won't come down however when a priest gives a blessings it comes down it comes down very very quickly so justce to recap so there's two things there's prayer and there's a blessing prayer means we have to ask either we'll get it or we won't get it a partially a blessing we're going to get the upgrade of a Priestly blessing is that it comes very very quickly and it it's guaranteed issue now so the re explains this idea of the Priestly blessing affects everything every flow that exists in the world and that's why he continues on the discourse and both the the and he explains over there as follows that we know that on one hand when when when is our blessing established what we're going to have it's h every rash every R in the New Year Hashem says okay this year you're going to get so much and all the all the blessings from three years already established in rashash and as we know it says clearly that rashash everyone is written and signed in the book of life so if that's the case since we we're blessed on rash for the whole year so why are we pl why are we praying every single day and matter of fact praying every day is is a Biblical commandment and not only that we pray three times a day what's the point we already got everything on rashash why why do we have to Revisited every single day and three times a day in other words everybody asking this if we have to pray every they then what does it mean that we were written and sealed um in in the book of of of of righteous people in rash and if it we are receive everything R so why do we have to pray every single day so he explains as follows know even though there's actually a debate in the talud and the talud says like this and the talud asks this question do are we are we are we judged for the whole year and we're done or are we judged every single day and the answer they give is the truth is no one person says r one person says every single day but the truth is it's not an argument an other words and what how how do they def Define the difference because the drawing down the blessing of rashash means in the source in your Storehouse you have now all the blessings for the year R we establish how much you're going to have for the year and it goes so to speak into a storehouse but in order for it to come down every single single day of the year in that's time and every single space so now you needed to go through all the levels of s it goes down from world to World till it comes down to this world and what happens is as it goes through the worlds as it comes down through level to level there's a new judgment should it come down or not come down in other words what does that mean but you can say what do you mean I got the blessing in the beginning of the year what do you mean you're holding it back cuz the explains as follows cuz it's possible yeah you are blessed spiritually in your mind you should know you have a storehouse of blessings but not necessarily pH not necessarily materially and physically and like we know when a person serves hhm spiritually so we know that there are certain people that serve hm with their soul and there are certain people serve with the body and just like it's in spiritual service the same thing also in things when when it comes to flows of energy that have to come down know it's possible yet you are blessed spiritually in your storehouse you have all these blessings which is on a soul level but then it's possible where it comes down physically in this world and you have children you have you have life and you have you have you have sustenance you have what to eat and and everything you have it in a an abundance manner so however when it comes to the Priestly blessings so the the the blessing comes down very very quickly so what happens then is the blessing comes down to way it's in its source and the way it's in its source in the highest level to the essence of hem and that's the way it comes down to this world so is teaching on something very very powerful that the fact is like this not only do does the Priestly blessing apply to whatever the blessing but it affects all the energy that we're receiving for the whole year so in other words it's very possible yeah we receive great blessing but it's on a spiritual level but if you want it to come down you need a blessing to draw it down to this world and that's the power of the Priestly blessings that could bring down all the material and physical blessings that that be translated into reality now so now the question is 1 second so we're saying is that the the priests have a special magic button they push the button they give you the blessing and it comes down from the highest level into this world so the question is what's the reason why the flow of energy that comes specifically from a priest comes very very quick and nothing is holding it back it doesn't get stopped anywhere and the re explains because when AR which is the high priest blesses who is AR Ain is a spiritual the is called I'll say it in Hebrew I'll translate he's called an is he's a person of kindness so that's what the high priest and the same thing also with what with the ancestors of Ain that they that they also received the Commandment to bless the Jewish people and they also have in its DNA the idea of of kindness and re goes on and something very powerful the same applies to the students of irin like it says what's a student of ir Su say an ethics of fathers be of the students of Ain love peace and pursue Peace So know Ain has it in a spiritual L his family has it but we can all be students of iron and for students of ir means we adopt the personality we will have that power to bless as well and when you're being blessed from a place of a place of kindness then comes down very very quickly that's Point number one and there's nothing blocking it now in itself there's many levels quantitatively and qualitatively so in when when you're dealing with that comes down through ourin it's called an abundance of kindness and what type of it is it's a without any limits without any limits why and they were explaining to this because in itself there's two types of there's something which is called a kindness of the world which will explain in detail what it means and then there something which is called ra an abundance of and that's associated we said with ar his his family his children the priests and anyone that wants to be a student of Arin follow his follow his footsteps so you connect to what not only which is it's kindness but it's limited to the word explain but it's the power of RA and know it explains like this when you you're dealing with of the world so that's a or kindness which is finite finite in the level of the say the world flows so therefore since it's that's kindness of the world so the has to go through the process of every single world and like we mentioned before every world is every stage is Judge judgments however when you deal that's that's above the the flow of the way things flow normally and because you're dealing with ra it's it's above the limits of the way things flow so therefore things come down without any limits and it comes down to the lowest places and and based on this the verse actually says that by dayem commands in other words that this level of is called y it's called day what does that mean we know day that goes with all the days know what does that mean it comes down to all the levels and on on this Al brings also the alter writes in in Tanya in the section called The Holy letters based on the verse that says the kindness of hem which doesn't know any end so the author explains the verse a little different he says like this what does mean so which is kindness and this means a double kindness you know there two levels of what are the two levels like we just learned kindness which is limited to the flow of the worlds and then there and that's why the verse says both levels what does that mean and the author explains means that since when comes from the complete that we're not complete so therefore because we're not complete so we have to behave in a way of because we're not we have to do not only the we have to do what does we have to be kindness without any limits and we behave in in kindness without any limits we awaken the compassion and the kindness on high which is RA and and and and and abundance of kindness an abundance of compassion without any limits in other words and so so just to recap what saying is that because we are not complete and what we need is we can't rely on the of which going to go down from level to level because it takes time and it can get stuck Etc so we behave in ra means we behave in kindness without any limits Hashem gives us that kind of kindness and so obviously you see from here that when you have the when it flows down from ra it comes down to the lowest level literally into this physical world on with with there's no there's no there's no lower level which mean where God is not where God Is concealed and that's the power of AR which is a a priest which is a person of he's a person of and therefore he has the power to bring a blessing to go from the highest level to the lowest level very very quickly nothing stopping and the blessing should come down from its source in down into to this physical world and that's why we say in the Priestly blessings what's what's the Priestly blessings so it says should bless you watch over you so what does that mean hasem should bless you he should watch over you so the K tell us he should bless you well with money you should have financial success and what does it mean he should watch over you he should watch over you from people that would hurt you in other words what's the blessing the blessing is money what does that mean money literally physical money know that that we that come down a tremendous amount of kindness from the highest level to the lowest level and Hashem should literally bless us with financial success on the highest level and the says you this is possible you can say it's connected with the teaching in the B the says that based what what it says tell us that um that that there was a discussion whether in a temple they should have vessel out of wood or silver or gold so it says that toyra is is is is is careful not to just waste our money and and therefore the Torah is so careful even with a with a with a um a vessel which is made out of pottery which is worth maybe a penny or so that that even if it has a a a value of a penny in one place in the world even though some parts it's worth nothing it's considered something it's considered something that has something of value in other words that what we see from here that that the the Torah gives um respect um to money and to something that value even of a penny why why is that because in this vessel there's holy Sparks that's Point number one and also with that money you can buy something that you need to live and that's why we know that it says the talud that when it comes to charity it's compared to all the mitz and we know that charity brings the Redemption why because again because because financial success down here um is with God there Godly energy so the same thing also that's why the powerful Priestly blessings is we should have physical children we should be healthy we should have what to eat in abundance materially and Hashem should bless us with money because the goal is to bring down God's blessing to the lowest level so that's in terms of we should bless with money the same thing applies where says should watch us from people that want to hurt us in other words that even in a place where there are people that are trying to damage and hurt even over there in the lowest levels there's a blessing and as we explained the blessing of the Priestly blessing doesn't have any limits and it comes down to the lowest levels and know to money and it comes down to the lowest levels to places where unfortunately are people that want to cause damage and the blessing is there to protect us now that's why the verse says that iron sta blossomed and it Blossom specifically almonds while since IR when he draws down a blessing it comes down without any limits without any stopping and it comes down to the lowest places so that's why it uses scum which is almonds because again almonds we explained they they they they produce the quickest from all the types of fruits and Wheats that grow that that grow and re said he'd like to add that even though that the Priestly blessing is an everlasting blessing which means it applies to all generations but we also need to the idea of the almonds why because you need that right in the beginning it should it should be recognizable the Everlasting part and then and and and that that there's no limit so right from the beginning when there was determined that our was the priest it is we establishing the rule that yes Aon is going to bless us and it's going to come very very quickly and like it's explained in in in reference to the day the day which going to be totally totally long referring to mhia comes that even right in the beginning it's long in other words right in the beginning of the day you realize that it's long and it has no limits and the same thing also that's why the sign for the staff of iron is that it gave off almonds and he's right in the beginning of the priesthood of AR he already had the sign that it's going to be quick and it's and and there's nothing going to stop it and so that that that recognizes that the whole idea of the priesthood and the blessing of iron comes in a way of quickness and ality and with no limitations of any any finite limitations now in the end of discourse in over there um the Ala says that in another place it's brought down that there's two types of um of almonds that it's an almond that that that that um that trans form something from negative into positive and something which is good that's the AL says says one second why is he bringing this over here that there's two types of almonds one that's that's that's bitter that comes sweet and one that's sweet the AL is not is not here to bring this different throw in different sources oh by the way the almonds you know one is that it becomes good and one it is good why is he bringing it and never explains he says as follows you know say the reason as follows the sign that Aon staff blossomed when did that happen it happened after the rebellion of K in other words the rebellion and the argument of K was on the priesthood of and like it says clearly in the Torah in the morning hasm is going to establish who is the right priest and specifically after the argument of K and as we know the the rule that there's light but when there darkness and you have the light afterwards the light is much greater or there's wisdom but when there when you're struggling with comprehending something and then you have Insight that's much much more powerful or like the capitalistic terminology which just called that when you take darkness and transform it into light or when you transform bitterness into sweetness so then what happens is dang what gets trans what's realized the real power of aon's blessings because it came through an argument it came through a challenging it and then what got revealed was the quickness and and theity of the the of of of the Almond that's going to the blessings are going to come very very quick and that's why the alra says the idea of almonds of the opposite of good why because the ultimate goal of almonds is is to take something which is not good and transform it into the good and then you have the the the the the upgrade and the quality of we transforming something um dark into into light or transforming something negative into something positive and like like the famous verse it says in the Torah where he told him to make to make me something that tastes good doesn't say time one it says plural why why plural it's referring to when go when you're goinge and take something which is bitter and transforming into into good and there you can say that this is also the explanation of the essence of the blessing where it says hasem shall protect you from people that that that will cause harm so seemingly one second why should hasem bless us that that from the people that cause harm let let's get rid of the people that causes harm what as why to protect us from them let's let let's make a blessing there shouldn't be any people that to harm us not to protect us in other words since you have already a blessing and you have these powerful blessings you can make a blessing get rid of the people that cause on like it says clearly in the Torah is going to get rid of the wild animals so we get rid of them from the world what's the point of Watch Me from from the from the people that harm me get rid of the people that harm me but the answer is like we explained before because the real power of the poliy blessing is transforming Darkness into light and that's why it says to watch us from the people that harm us that the people that harm us stay where they are but we're protected from it and ultimately what will end to be is that by protecting us from them then the actual people that trying to cause us harm will actually become good and they will they they will come helpers and like like like the second explanation of the first Insight was you have to get rid of the the the the the the wild animals from the land but the second explanation is no no we we we get rid of them that they shouldn't harm not to get rid of totally get rid they shouldn't harm they're still there but they don't harm and that's why that's what what it says in reference to future mhia comes that that that the wolf will lie with the lamb and like it says in the prophets there's going to be a young L that's going to that's going to lead them which is referring to the Jewish people as we know n is referring to the Jewish people because say the Jewish people are are the lad and hasem and like we know it says in the prophets in reference to the snake so so we know it says in the talmud that when we that the the the that that reference to the snake that that we we lost a a powerful uh helper in the world because before the sin the snake was this big helper and and and and then he then he became then became the snake but Masia comes in the future we're also going to transform the snake the snake is going to become good like it says in the prophets that the that literally a child is going to be able to put his hand on the whole of where the snake comes out from be to touch the snake because the snake is not going to harm it's going to be totally transformed and says I like he like to connect this with the general idea of the days between um it's called B sorry between the 17 of thas and and we know that the SE the days of is actually 21 days which is the same amount of time that that that takes for an almond to grow and like the like the kazal tell us that the the time it takes for an almond to grow is 21 days and what's the ultimate goal to transform it to good and especially says with standing in gim thas say this giml tamas and say what's giml tamas explain something very powerful what is giml tamas you want to have from a clear Direction what is giml tamas or says what is giml tamas giml tamas is the beginning of the Redemption what Redemption the Redemption of the 12th and the 13 of tamas and in reference to Redemption so what what does it mean Redemption what does it mean you have a Redemption what does it mean you're free so brings that the fre who the the one that was celebrating the Redemption and he says this Redemption is for all Jewish people even somebody and he uses the term means the only reason why he's Jewish because he's called he's Jew he he's called a Jew not necessarily he behaves like a Jew but even such a person is redeemed that means even in such a person the effect of redemption is on such a person as well that's in one extreme someone that has no connection with Judaism he has Redemption and the same thing all says the Redemption it applies to those that love Torah the holy Torah and those that keep mitv what I mean someone learns T what kind of redemption he have and no no even with them the Redemption affs that they go out and they go out and they're redeemed from the limitations that they have you can learn you can do MIT but you're in Exile you have limitations the Redemption is you won't have any limitations and even though the're holy the the holy limitations the power of of of limitations the power of of of of the Gula is there is no limitations for a simple person for more than Advanced person of Judaism everyone will experience true liation liit um true Redemption and says when did it start it starts on giml tamas and with the ultimate Redemption of of of of of of ofas and say what's the ultimate purpose of the Redemption is to affect redemption in the whole world what does it mean the whole world should affect Redemption that any that is holding us back from living an amazing life should be totally nullified how's that going to happen there so many anies re brings the famous verse that says not that you have to fight with the Enemy the enemy will will fall upon them a fear interpretation and they're going to be totally nullified and what do mean nullified L are literally like the sand on the earth literally they totally will go away so here you have a powerful ins for the clarifies what ises gim thas he like to connect this with the umic discourse of the in in his book of discourses which said to me that when said discourse it just was published and it was actually came to before Shabbat and based on the verse that says that out of out of out of out of out of tightness out of limitations I call to AEM and then it says so I called hem from a place of angst from a place of of limitations when hasem answers me from tremendous abundance and the idea he explains is very powerful that the ultimate purpose of the mat of the limitation and The Angst that you're feeling is only the only reason is that you should call from there from there and calling from there that's going to give you the tremendous abundance the tremendous abund it's a powerful teaching of that the purpose of the was that we should call from there not to get stuck over there and to be upset no from there call and will answer us and the same thing also he like to connect this where it's explained in in in the in in the book that say also was printed and now was was bound before Shabbat just like the previous discourse that he mentioned mentioned before and obviously on Shabbat you can you can learn it at least and at least should be the wish that from here on we should learn it and especially that there's a a tremendous um excitement when you have a new book so in the beginning of of uh in the beginning he says over there based on the verse where it says the song of songs of King Solomon so the expression it doesn't say it say plural songs what does it mean plural songs so I'm spiritually referring to the two SP one of Bina and the other one of malus that that that's that that's the two songs that's that's the two songs beina and Mal and explained elsewhere even though in that discourse explains differently that malos is is is is is is represented by the of M it's a place which is tight like it says because that the feet go down into death so is idea of tight tightness andina we know is it's an abundance the total total expansion up to the greatest expansion of and that's idea of we calling from Place some tightness from the tightness you come to the tremendous abundance and finish off he says as follows it should be the will that it should F filled by each and every one of us that mean I made that wherever we are whatever we're going through we should call to and is going to an tremendous abundance abundance what does that mean that the the whole morning period of the three weeks should totally be nullified and especially close to which includes the the whole month and uh that that we can we can go ahead and nullify all the negative things and what will happen is all the negative things will be nullified we're going to be redeemed we'll have the ultimate Redemption and up to where it's going to be like the raah writes and he rules that these days of the B is eventually going to be a holiday and it's going to be a day of of joy and celebration like it says clearly in the verse that hasem says that the the the fourth fast Etc is going to be for the Jewish people for joy and happiness and is going to be a and ra ends and he says and he and he brings down in his his book of law also the end of the verse and what does it say at the end of the verse that truth and peace will love us in other words that how it happen it happens through peace what is peace when everyone is Unified and that's the powerful re the idea of of Y based tamas that that everyone was unified and should be fulfilled um with it should be filled in a practical way with the coming of Messiah and the g says in a way of mad he should come obviously right away so here we have another powerful cic discourse in the rebba um P power powerful ideas powerful blessings that we have the power to bring upon ourselves by acting in a way of No Limits will bring down the greatest blessings and ultimately like finish off and he says have the real G nothing will hold us back we'll have the we'll have we have we have we'll have real Gul with the ultimate coming of Messiah and let's hope and pray that next class will bees have a great and blessed week sh
