Welcome to our class on we're going to
be learning a beautiful discourse in the
Reb the name of the discourse is
called the Reb said this
discourse that year was the 18th day of
the month of L just like this year in
the
year 56 years ago the re went on to
certify and edit this discourse in honor
of the 18th day of the month of Al in
the
34 years ago so again the discourse is
based in the verse in next week Torah
portion we're learning this in honor of
where the verse
says look down from your holy Dwelling
Place in
heaven and go ahead and bless the Jewish
people so the previous
rebba onic discourse with this title
that he actually said on the 18th day
day of el
and that was the first 18 day of of the
month of ell when he came to America and
his second time in order to live in
America and that year the 18 day of the
month of was
also like when the Reb said discourse 56
years ago and like what's going to be
next
shabat the question he asks is the verse
says so he asked a simple question what
is what is what what is the nation of of
of God it's the Jewish people and the
Jewish people are the nation of God so
why does the verse
say that's question number one also we
have to understand it
says and and it doesn't
say should
say in other words so it's so it's
establishing two points know that and is
in this verse is two different
ideas also we have to understand like he
brings out in theic discourse the fact
is the idea of the Jewish people we know
is much higher than than the nation and
like it like it's also understood
because what does AM mean what does
nation mean sometimes they actually
first not necessarily equality of the
Jewish people and what is the name
Israel is referring to when when Jacob
fought with the angel of God and he was
successful so ISRO is a higher quality
reference to the Jewish people and over
here he says what name first he says the
first the the first the word which is
nation and then he goes to the next
level of Israel okay says we understand
this based on what's explained the
discourse this that it
says that we said it's two ideas is
based on what it's brought down Kaz Kaz
tell us based on the verse in the
prophets where it says the verse as
follows says in reference to
King Jonathan
and then it
says and the nation of Jewish people the
B is so again you see even it's
referring to amem which is the Jewish
people and B which is Jewish people so
he says Al Al
twice so based on that says you can say
you can add even that this that we
say so it's not only like we learned
before that obviously two different
ideas but the fact that he says
to go ahead and
bless so that means it's not just two
different ideas of the Jewish people and
the nation but the blessing it's two
types of blessings a blessing for
whatever that means which will'll learn
soon course for the nation and a
blessing for the Jewish people so
therefore the re ask what's what's the
difference between these two types of
blessings there's a blessing for
whatever that means and is a blessing
for the Jewish people and the blessing
for whatever that means comes first
so in order to understand this re says
he he gives an introduction in the
discourse an idea which it's brought
down in in thei thei says as follows
come and look the power of people that
do a Mitzvah people will do the
Commandments why is that because anytime
in the T uses the term come and look
it's actually a curse it's actually a
negative thing and over here here the
same expression that all over is used
for a curse over here it's used for a
blessing how is that possible and Reb
explains because when a person does a
Mitzvah we have the power to transform a
curse into a blessing and and he
continues on to explain the verse that
it says another verse in reference to
Bam so the Torah
says God did not allow
to to listen to so one God didn't allow
it and then
by God transformed the curse into a
blessing and then it says because God
loves
you so in that verse where it says hasem
didn't listen and he transformed it and
hem loves us it says three times for
each sentence that
says and afterwards he explains that
there's two types of ideas
of we nation and the Jewish people
what's the difference because we want to
know what's nation and Jewish people and
explains as follows that those that
learn toyra and those that sit in in in
the study halls of toyra they're called
is they're called Isel the Jewish people
you learn Tor you sit in the study halls
of Torah and sinful people which means
they fulfill the T they do the mitz with
Simplicity they are considered amem the
nation of hem so we already have have a
way to define the difference that is
basically someone just does you know
follows God Faithfully learns the Torah
and does and is those that are
meditating Torah study Torah sit in the
houses of Torah but nevertheless he says
the nation before is why is that because
we know it says in the tal that this is
the bait what's greater studying tal
doing the mitzvot and the answer is that
talud is greater why because it brings
you to do the
mitzvot and those that do the mitzvot
they're the ones that transform the
curse into a blessing so Bas explains
very simple that the
connection between the ideal that
learning T is greater because it brings
you to do a Mitzvah and that's why it
says the the referring to the ones that
do MIT first because this this that the
Torah is greater because it brings you
do Mitzvah obviously so therefore what
is greater if you're saying that tal is
greater because it brings you to do
Mitzvah so it's only greater because it
brings you to do the Mitzvah so
ultimately what's the ultimate goal the
ultimate goal is to do the Mitzvah and
that's why he mentions
first what the re said this is this this
explanation is not enough while he
brings the ones that do the Mitzvah
first versus the ones that learn why
because the fact is in that K does say
that godal
that does say that Talman is greater so
seemingly Isel should have said said
said first so therefore he has to add
something to explain why even though tal
is greater and yeah we know it's great
to bring something so you can go in
circles but nevertheless he adds one
important point that those that do
mitzvot they have the power through
doing the mitz that they can transform a
curse into a blessing so this powerful
idea the power to transform a transform
a curse into a blessing what gets
revealed that the real that's the power
of the action versus learning Torah and
like and like we like it's all we all
know it says in the future of msia comes
the fact is the actions going to be much
greater the mitzah going to be much
greater and since it says you want hm to
look down and bless the Jewish people
and it's not just blessing the Jewish
people it's transforming the curs into
blessing so that's why he says
Nation the ones that do the MIT because
they have the power to transform the
blessing so now they ask a
question true we have the power of
transforming what's the connection
between transforming a curse into a
blessing with bringing out the power
that what that action is that the action
is more
important okay so reab says after that
he explains in the discourse that by
doing a Mitzvah we have the power to
transform a curse into a blessing so he
brings over there the verse that
says God did not want and not listen to
the voice of vum and he transformed the
curse into a blessing and it says
because hem loves us and we already
mentioned before that he mentions three
times in that verse so he says over
there there's the these three components
three different ideas and every one of
them he
says the first component is
Hashem is not listening to b b in other
words hashm doesn't want to hear he
doesn't want to hear the negativity he
doesn't want it's a good lesson actually
not to listen to the negativity and he
doesn't listen to any wants to complain
against the Jewish people is not
listening now this hasm is not listening
to people that are complaining and the
people are that want to criticize and
even though obviously they're
complaining they have a vent complaint I
don't want to listen why is to listen
someone comes along have a complaint
against the Jewish people what do you
mean is not listening and explains
because it's something which is called
it's coming from the place of compassion
what's
compassion so from a certain level you
can listen to all the craziness but when
you're on the level
of you don't want to hear the
craziness that's compon component number
one then the verse says he transformed
the curse into a blessing what is that
called in cabalistic terminology
that negativity sins are are transformed
actually into Mitzvah so knows not only
like the first level he's not listening
but unfortunately the sins are there no
no no but actually you have in Hebrew
it's
called that the sins get atoned and not
only did they get atoned they actually
get transformed into something positive
and that's why he says second time
because the level of
Hashem that from the is drawn down where
hasm doesn't want to listen that's the
lower level of so the first level which
is a very high level not list negativity
that's the lower level of but in order
to transform the negative into a
positive um that that's by bringing down
yut a higher level of yut so that's the
second idea and what is the third idea
that Hashem loves us that's referring to
the essential love that God has for the
Jewish people and that is a level above
his above any
levels and on that level we say that
asov and yov they're brothers so if
they're brothers so why is why why why
why is yob more special but nevertheless
even though the're brothers and
technically they're equal what does
say he specifically L specifically loves
Y and that's why he says and know even
on the level of the higher level which
is above above all the levels over there
everything's equal and even even on a
level everything's equal because what
gets revealed is the internal the
essential love that God has for the
Jewish people which is called
sh and and over there God is our God
specifically what over the the Jewish
people so those are the three levels
again just to recap the first level is
Hash is not listening lower level the
second level of yut K the higher level
where it gets transformed from negative
to positive and what's the third level
the essential love that Hashem has for
the Jewish people and even everything is
equal but nevertheless he loves the
Jewish people and afterwards he
continues to explain the discourse the
reason why it says which we said was
referring to the ones that do the mitv
before is which is the ones that learned
T because as we learned Talman is
greater because it brings to action but
it's not just action mitv those that do
mitz have the power to transform a curse
into a blessing like we learned before
so basic ask a simple question and was
in order to
explain the idea that doing the mitv
transforming negative into positive
comes before you learning toy it's all
we need to know is that it transformed
the negative to the positive but this
that he brings the whole introduction of
the three ideas of the verse that
doesn't want to listen and that's
claiming a lower level of okay Hashem
transformed the higher level and then to
the third level where we have the
essential love from God to the Jewish
people so obviously he's bringing it
because that adds in comprehension of
why do the come before
learning so we have to understand this
NAD is going to go into a very very
powerful cabalistic idea stay tuned or
get into it because it's going to be
pretty deep very powerful say we're
going to understand this with
introduction
from the uh a teaching of the re
marash the re which we know is known for
he has a classical discourse which is
called it's based on the
verse that Jerusalem
Praises Zion is praised with with the
name
Elohim and the the re said this
discourse on
shabas when the re said this discourse
100 years before then so he says one
second he asked the question we know
that the two names of Zion and Jerusalem
Zion is much much much powerful name
than Jerusalem why is that because what
does mean what does z mean what does a s
mean it's the essence of Jerusalem
Jerusalem is very high but is the
essence of Jerusalem but but if that's
the case that is much higher when it
comes to Jerusalem what does the verse
say he used the term when it comes to
which is the essence of Jerusalem he
uses the term what elim now we know that
the Jewish people are called also like
the verse says
clearly the Jewish people refer to the
level of which is the higher level So
based this you can say that when he
says it's referring to two levels in the
Jewish people now based on we learned in
theic discourse that Jerusalem is the
lower level of Y so you can say that se
is what the higher level of Y the higher
level
of and re explains he says what's the
connection between the higher level of
the higher level of being or and because
the higher level of a is Hebrew it's
called In calistic terms B us you're
totally totally accepting not from an
external place your essence totally
accepting and this level this deep
acceptance is hinted in the word why
because what does mean it's a sign what
means a sign it's nothing I'm just a
sign so which is a sign is referring to
the higher level of year which is a
deeper level in the the acceptance that
we have
forem that's why the verse says another
verse
which is again the higher level of is of
Jerusalem and the higher level of je
Jewish people so we see from the higher
level what comes
out words come from know when it comes
to it uses the term to and when it comes
to Jerusalem it only says the word the
words of hem why why what's the
difference because the difference
between the lower level of the lower
level ofm and the higher level ofm that
in the lower level of Yash why someone
why
someone so you know's the greatness of
hm created the world and maintaining the
world so when you think about the power
of Hem of creation so it's only in
Hebrew terms it's
called whoever I am I a somebody but
guess what hm is much greater than me
but the higher level of War hem that's
from the greatness of Hashem Which is
higher than worlds and the whole world
is nothing compared to and what happens
on that level the or that we have is
called we totally don't
exist and that's why the verse says God
commanded us to do the
statutes in order to have years to beem
in other words in order to come to the
level the high level of being an Orem
which is totally don't
exist which comes again like from the we
feel the greatness of the infinite
partem in order to to reach that level
you want to have true B you want to be
totally connected to hem on the highest
level it comes through learning to and
doing MIT and know idea of the and the
statues of why is that because when a
person
meditates so what what are you able to
meditate with your physical mind
godliness which is connected to the
world but if you want to be able to
connect and feel the the real power of
the infinite part of hem where hasm is
much greater than the worlds that only
comes from bringing in a much greater
Revelation that Revelation only happens
by learning to and doing mitz and that's
the connection
between and to and Jerusalem and the
word of hem why because the lower level
of awe which is connected idea of
Jerusalem where is that come from that
comes from the words of
Hemm that created the worlds like we
know it says clear
hasem created the world with his with
his speech but on the other hand the
higher level of which is connect idea of
where does that come from that comes
from the revelation of the power of the
infinite power hem which is much higher
than the world how how do we connected
that we connected that what through
learning tah and doing MIT So based on
this explains beautifully that's why the
verse
says in other words when it comes to
Jerusalem it
says and when it comes to it
says which applies also in the idea of
Jerusalem and C in our serving hem
because we know that in reference to the
name and the name Elohim the two
different names of hem soim is referring
to the part of God that he fills the
world it's the light that's connected to
the world and is the part of God that's
over the world so therefore the the
lower level of Y is connected to which
name of hemohim which is connect to the
world and the higher level of year is
connect to but nevertheless when it
comes to Jerusalem which we said is the
lower Lev of it says and when it comes
to the higher level it say Alim is back
to the same same same question okay now
before we before we have have an answer
goes deeper into into it he says like
this to explain the the the the the um
Power of the higher level of of being
which we said connected more
specifically so he gives an introduction
in
the will understand what an introduction
he explains the discourse that he
mentioned
before that he explains from there as
follows the
meditation that will bring us to the
lower level
of there's two
IDE two ideas
okay one is when we meditate about the
greatness of Hashem of the creation of
the world how do we meditate it's like
the verse
says how great is the action of hem and
also how great is the actions of hem
that will bring us to the lower level of
year because again we're thinking about
the actions and the creation of
hem now that's that's one meditation a
deeper meditation is when you meditate
that everything that hasm created
the quantitative amount of Creations the
greatness of of the Creations where is
that coming from it's not coming from
the higher part of hem it's coming
literally from the lowest part of Hashem
like it says like the verse
says is great and we praise him
we in the city of what what does that
mean so explain when is God great when
he's in the city of Alo what does that
mean that the greatness of Hashem we
can't comprehend can we comprehend
Hashem we're finite Hashem is infinite
how can we comprehend Hashem but this
that we know the greatness of hem how do
we know it we know it from the way he
created the world and know the way he's
in the city of ALU the city the world
was created by elu which is basically
the world of speech in other words and
he gives an example just like a city
literally H how do you make a city a
city is made up of multiple houses and
every house is made up of multiple
Stones so the same thing Also
spiritually that words are are are are
like bricks and and the words that come
from multiple uh letters Etc that's
called that's called houses and like he
gives an example where it says in sa
that two
stones make two houses Three Stones make
six houses Etc but the idea is the world
the world of speech is called the city
of Hashem
and just like stones and houses and
cities that are made from these Stones
what are they what are they made from so
we know in the world the World created
is obviously mad is the highest level is
the inanimate it's the lowest level so
what is a city made up a city is made up
from the lowest part of creation
do the lowest
level so the same thing also applies in
the world of that's created from the
speech of
whole world is Created from the speech
which is the lowest part of hem and
that's why it says the word of
hem that the the word of hem that goes
ahead and creates and gives a Life Force
to this world comes from Y which is
basically the the the city the city of
of Alim which is the city of
D and everything you can say that um
that the what explain in theic discourse
that the meditation that will bring us
to to the lower level of hem which is
again Yim which is referring to what the
creation the the the the greatness of hm
created the world and also that it comes
from the lowest part of hem which is De
why is that
because Jerusalem also comes in two
words sh completion of and in order for
the to to to for the Orem which means
our B our acceptance should be complete
so you have to meditate that that
basically everything comes from hasm
there's really it's really nothing it's
in the lowest part of hhm hasm is much
far greater than the creation of the
world and this is the connection of the
two insights in Jerusalem in other words
on one hand that Jerusalem is the cones
from the the world the world of speech
and one hand it's speech and the other
hand it's completion of a why because
when a person meditates on the fact that
theem the word of hm com to Jerusalem
which means that the creation of the
whole world is coming from you sh from
the world of speech which we said is
coming from the world of of of of in
animate compared to the higher levels so
when you meditate on that you'll come to
the level of Y complete year the lower
level of year but nevertheless even
though the meditation of that everything
comes from Hashem and now and and even
everything that comes Fromm is only from
the lowest level it's still called a
lower level of year it's a it's year
it's great it's amazing but it's lower
level why because the main meditation is
what part of God God's connected to the
world so therefore even you you meditate
on the the inanimate part of hem so you
don't feel the infinite part of hem
Which is higher than the world which on
that level nothing has any value anyway
so what do we see from here so when it
comes to the higher level of that's
referring to the greatness of the
infinite part of Hashem which has
nothing which is totally above the level
of world
in other words you you're feeling as the
infinite of hem So based on that that we
just learned the powerful difference
between the lower level of Y and even
the highest level and the lower level of
Y it's still connected to the world and
the highest level of Y is off the charts
so that's the case it brings it back
full circle how come when it comes to
which is the highest level of e it says
Alim which Alim is connected to the
world
okay sobody explains any say that he
explains in the discourse from
the that we mentioned before the reason
why it
says when it comes to the higher level
use the term so he explains the verse
that says afterwards what does it say in
the verse afterwards it
says that the the the pillars of your
gates are very very
strong
strong what does that mean like this he
brings down from the mishna in the Talma
it says that um if you're living in a
city and you want to have security for
the city so they can force the people in
the city to to build for the city a a
wall and a door and a BRI a pillar
what's the idea of a wall a wall is to
to protect from the enemies they
shouldn't come into the
City and so a no no should come in B
that the people in the city can can come
in and go out so in order to do that you
make a door so you can go in and go out
and then you make a very powerful pillar
by the door so only those that are are
that are that should come and come in so
there three different components one is
the wall that the enemy shouldn't come
in the door you should be to have to go
in and out and then you need to have
strength that you should allow in Who
belongs in if you you have a city that's
protected and you have the enemy comes
inside what's what's the world help you
so then that's on a physical level so
the same thing also in the spiritual
explains that what is the Bri what is
the what is what is the defining power
that's referring to gur the G the power
of the shim which the the power of a
shim is that it that it that it controls
and it limits the
flow in other words that you shouldn't
have and I'll say in Hebrew I'll
translate you shouldn't have it
shouldn't Le out to external places so
you you have a wall no one's coming you
have a door people coming call out so
how do you control who goes in and go
out that comes from gur that only the
right people should come in and that's
why it
says and know the reason why he
says
because in other words when you're
dealing with se you dealing with drawing
in the infinite part of hm which is
[Applause]
above and on that level everything is
equal so you need to have why do you
need to have the shame Alim that that it
should go ahead and control and limit
the flow that it shouldn't go into the
wrong places
so that's why it says when it says when
it reference at which is so powerful use
the term Alim to control it that it
shouldn't go to the wrong place and it
should go to the right places and like
he says the verse it
says in reference to the Jewish people
he calls him know that they flow from
should only go to am to the Jewish
people and that's why the verse says
that the the the blessing should be
specifically to the Jewish people and he
continues
on and but that's and how does it happen
it happens through the spiritual work
of that the
officers and JG just put in all your
Gates what does that mean that what what
are the gates he says gates are
referring to the 50 Gates of Bina we
know 50 Gates of V and that come down
from there from the intellect of Vina to
the emotions and when you have the the
spiritual work of the of the officers
and the judges and you put it by the
gates what does that mean that all the
seven emotions and we know every one of
the seven emotions is inter intertwined
with with seven it's total of 49 they
should be totally our emotion should be
dedicated to hem and then you have then
you have that your gates are strong that
that the the flow is not going to go
into the wrong
places now after he explains in the
discourse this powerful teaching
of that you need to have the gates to be
strong you need so he explains another
verse what is the other verse it
says that he makes your your boundaries
peace and he connects it to the
idea that your that your your gates are
very very strong and after he explains
those verses now we're going to go
deeper cabala stuff he says the
verse that he makes snow like wool and
he explains over there as
follows so the verse
says so he connects you have the idea of
snow which is white and some which is
wool so he explains the sh what's shell
what's snow so he brings another verse
where it
says that is garments the garments um
like like um like like snow like snow it
became White so the garments became snow
like white and then he brings another
verse and the with reference to the wool
it saysa the he of his
head like like like the the wool of a
lamb so and and and he brings the verse
where it says that if your sins are
going to be it means if your sins are
going to be they're gonna get they're
gonna get they're going to they're going
to dirty it to to Crimson so then so
it's dirty
so he's going to go ahead and white it
like like snow and they're going to
become totally they're going to be d red
like died in
red they're going to be become like like
wool in other words so he explains as
follows sh is referring to a white
string so white is white but it got it
got be became red so the the string
itself is white but the string became
red other words what does that mean that
the the the the the blemish is in the
garments it's not the string itself is
not is not is red it's the garments how
do you fix the garments you fix the
garments by by by by by creating it like
white like
snow and the so that is one so one type
of sin where the garments are no good it
becomes soiled so you do what like it
comes like snow and TOA where the thing
is red in essence so what does that mean
that the that the the sin reach in the
essence of the Soul it's a much deeper
blemish in order to F fix that it's
through Sumer through wool
like know the the hear of the head which
means you have to go ahead and pull from
the essence of the soul and like we see
literally when you pull someone's here
the whole body moves so there's two
issues one is an external issue that
that the the the the the wool became red
then then you just need you need to
paint like like like snow but then when
it affects the essence then you have to
go ahead and fix from the essential
place and he explains like this that's
why it
says so he's combining the two sh is
fixing the external and some which is
fixing the essence in other words that
even in Shell which is only really a
garment the goal is to bring the
essential the essence of the Soul into
the Garment and the connecting of the
two how do you connect the two so
obviously have to bring it from a higher
place
and after he explains the idea
of which basically means um bringing in
bringing in the essence into the
external part and comes to a higher
place so he explains another time with a
little different idea of that bringing
the the the the officers and the judges
and all the gates and through that you
have the strong you have you have the
the the the strong Gates so the ask a
question what's the connection between
and
which basically is uniting the two with
the idea of the strong Gates explains
over here and he says as
follows we're going to understand this
with an
introduction of snow and wool and
everyone has a a pro over the other one
like nothing not everything is pros and
everything is Con everything has a pro
and a con so each one of these has a pro
over the other one he explains this that
we say that the
garments mean the garments are going to
be like Snow White snow what is that
referring to I'm going to use cabalistic
terminology and then we'll translate it
it's referring to the process of
cleaning the garments is
called the 13 points of light and the
source of these 13 points of light are
and I'll say it in Hebrew I'll
translate in the in the concealed
intellect of we know in K is optic and
AR in and in in that level
of you
have of that goes in there that's the
first level so again just to recap
before we go further the snow is
referring to the 13 Points of Light the
sources is in the intellect the internal
the internal intellect the concealed
intellect of AR and in there you
have what's the next
level which is referring to the wool
that is in the skull of AR which Which
is higher than the first one and in
there you have so you have two
components you have the 13 Points of
Light which is in the intellect of and
you have and then you have which is in
the skull of
and now he explains in in
the that the P the the the power of the
13 uh Points of
Light what is because they come what do
they come for they come to say in Hebrew
to their job is to take judgments and
sweeten the judgments now in order to
sweeten a judgment you can't just do
where it is you have to go into its
source and the he of the head is coming
to to sweeten the Judgment because it's
higher in the 13 attes and where does
that come from it comes idea of so what
do we see from here that in order to
sweeten the judgments which happens
through the 13 points of Lights since is
coming again to sweeten the judgments so
what does that mean so the sweetness is
connected to the lower level in other
words to people that unfortunately have
judgments against them you have to
sweeten it and the sweetness that comes
through the hear of the head where
they're they're above judgments so where
does that come from that comes from the
which comes from a revelation a higher
Revelation and that's why the 13 Points
of
Light which is compassion we can know
the 13 anes of compassion that we that
we that we say in at certain special
days in the prayer
especially the upcoming High holidays so
it's that it's it's C they come from the
from the here of the head which is
because we know
ra is basically from a place that you
feel the the pain of somebody else but
is on the from the essential place so
what comes out from the discourse like
we explained before at length that in
order to fix a blemish it's when you
reveal
the hear of the head which is like like
when you when you uh pull someone like
we said from the head the whole body
moves and know what do you see from here
that the level of s is referring to how
do you P how do you pull the whole
person it's referring to the essence of
the Jewish people because the he of the
head is the essence Which is higher in a
garment and it's the essence of the
Jewish people as we know the Jewish
people in sh all won so based on this
explains beautifully so this this that
we that we said before that Thea is
referring
to and in order to sweeten the Judgment
you need to have Revelation from a
higher level is referring to what level
the revealed part of the soul and
through that you go you're able to go
ahead and fix the blemishes what does
that mean explains like
this the 13 Points of Light even though
they're
above but since the 13 points of light
are coming to sweeten the judgments
we're in this world so they have a
connection
they have a connection to this world and
you can say what is that referring to
it's referring to the the the um the
essence of the revealed revealed
attributes that we have so therefore the
revelation of the 13 Points of Light
they affect in the revealed part of the
soul but on the other hand the deeper
level the the hear of the head is
referring to the essence of on high
higher than the revealed part of the
soul and that's why that's why he says
in disc course that when you have the
revelation of the hear of a of of of the
head it even affects when when you when
you made a blemish in the essence of
your soul why is that because the
essence with the with the blemish reach
is connected to some kind of Revelation
part and the he of the head is the
essence of the soul and over there it's
not possible to have a blemish and since
the essence is totally disconnected from
the reveal part so different can't have
can't have an impact on it now
but the goal is to fix the blemishes in
the revealed part of the
soul and by how do you do that by
revealing the cation the higher level
know what gets revealed is that from the
from the depth of the essence of the
Soul there's really no room for a sin
why is that because the fact is and this
is a very powerful teaching in cabala
that even when a person sins guess what
the truth is the soul did not sin the
soul had complete faith in Hashem and
since the essence of the soul is the
essence of it so therefore the the
blemishes that happen is only it's only
external the the essential Soul doesn't
get affected so in other words the way
you fix the blemishes through the 13
attributes of light is by by bringing
out the essence which is connected to a
revealed part which gets revealed in
them and the way it's it's fixed on the
level of the the the uh the satation the
he the he of head gets revealed that the
Essence there's no there there's no
sense to begin with but it doesn't
affect the revealed part okay so let me
explain what he's saying the Deep stuff
saying is as follows there's two
different
levels there's the level
of the 13 attributes of Light which is
connected to the revealed part and that
goes and does an that does an internal
fixing but it doesn't connect to the
essence of the soul but then the S ratio
which is connected to the essence the
soul and from that place there's no sin
to begin with and now there refuses the
two together and that's why the verse
says shell is one process snow is one
process the revealed part Sumer is the
essence concealed part but he fuses the
two why because everyone has something
the other one doesn't have and he
explains what the snow has over the wool
is that when you fix what was wrong
through the 13 Points of Light which we
said as connected idea of snow what has
does that get fixed it gets fixed in an
internal way it gets fixed in the
revealed parts of the all your
powers it's internal but it's
finite why why is it finite because it's
actively
involved because the essence which is
connected to the reveal part and if
those different levels so again so the
quality of snow is it fix it internally
but it's limited on the other hand the
quality of the
wool what is that what's the quality
there that when it fixes
it it's when it gets what gets revealed
the Eternal part and over there there's
no sin to begin
with it's not it doesn't it's not
personalized but there's no sin to begin
with by fusing the two together that
even in the sh means even when you do
the internal work what comes inside
Sumer that the essence there was nothing
wrong so you have both qualities in
other words a quality that there's no
there's no blemish to begin with and it
affects it even where there was a
blemish now in order to create that
powerful Union that one hand there is no
blemish to begin with but effects in the
reveal part is you have to bring in
something which is higher than both of
them and what does that mean there
explains like this this that the essence
of the
soul and the the the the the image of
all the different parts are two
different things that why is that
because that's because the essence of
the Soul has some kind of description
it's the essence and what how you
describing it that it's above being
limited but the fact is from the essence
of the soul the way it's in the essence
of
hasem over there it's really all
one and when you go ahead and reveal
this part of the sh that even the the
powers in the sh which means all the
things that we describing it it's in a
in a way that that there's no there's
it's not possible to create create a
blemish and you bring in the essence of
the Soul which again which is the some
which is the idea of T the wool into the
internal part which is the idea of snow
what happens is you actually Elevate the
essence of the Soul why is that because
now you're revealing that what's the
real Source the real source is way the
soul sits in the infinite part of
hm So based on this explains beautifully
the connection
between refusing the two and like he
said it's connected this other verse
of because
what it's like the idea in cabal which
is called over over and Sh where it gets
internalized and when you unify the two
the part that harvers over and the part
internalized becomes one knows that the
that that that the essence of the Soul
which is much higher than being revealed
which is the idea of wool which is Mak
comes and gets internalized in the
revealed part which is the idea of snow
which is internalized so through that
what happens is in the revealed part in
high that that even in cabalistic terms
it's called that the M comes up into the
pemus the external part which really
cannot be internalized gets
internalized like to add this idea of
a is also connected to the idea we
learned in the beginning of discourse of
Jerusalem and like we spoke in the
beginning of the discourse what does
that mean and he says like this what is
Jerusalem and what is so we learned
before that Jerusalem is the lower level
of Europe because it's coming from from
the materialistic world and C we're just
assign to the higher level of
Eur is like the analogy of what of snow
and wool why is that because the lower
level of
Eur where is the lower level coming it's
coming from the fact that hasm created
the world so what does it connected it's
connected to the animal Soul just like
the idea of the snow that affects the
revealed part of of our
powers La the higher level of all where
does it come from the infinite part of
hem so therefore even though in
reference to The Godly Soul it's an
awesome level of Y but nevertheless it
doesn't affect the animal Soul just like
the idea of the wool which is it doesn't
affect on the internal part it's it's
too aloof and just like the idea of
Sumer even though it's much higher than
snow but nevertheless when it comes down
into the snow the Sumer gets elevated so
the same thing also when it comes to the
higher level of year which is
basically and when it comes down into
the lower level of Y to go ahead and
create a transformation in the body in
the animal soul and the world it gets
elevated like for example like we
learned before that what why is talud
greater even though talud it's amazing
you're meditating Etc because it brings
you to do the action by learning to you
do the action so what happens then is
the Talman actually becomes
greater however says nevertheless when
it comes
to that when you draw down
into why is that because gives the power
of Jerusalem just like Talma doesn't
become action but tal brings you to do
action the higher level of year will
cause you the lower level of year
however when it comes to the snow and
and and and the wool the level of the of
the
wool actually comes into the snow like
we learned before
the that the the the powerful level of T
of the essence of the Soul comes into
the into the internal part so therefore
what happens is the elevation that
happens to the to to the Sumer the
essence of the Soul when it comes into
the shell the internal part of the soul
is much greater than when theion comes
into
because when you have the union of SE
and Shel what happens is what gets
revealed the source of the soul the way
it's in the essence of hm he'd like to
add that the ele the
elevation that happens into the higher
one when it comes down to the lower L
lower one it also applies into the idea
of shelle and semmer in the revealed
part of the of the powers why because
what happens like this
when the soul on
high Which is higher than the internal
part know the level of of sh or when it
comes into the internal part of the soul
and it comes there to fix and to elevate
all the blemishes it gets elevated so
the same thing also says applies to our
internal Powers which is basically our
intellect and our emotions and we bring
our intellect and our emotions into our
thought and our speech
and action so what happens the intellect
And the emotions get
elevated but nevertheless this idea that
the elevation that happens on the higher
level when it comes down it really when
does it really when does get elevated
when it when it makes a change in the
lower level so when it makes a change so
then the effect that it has in the lower
level it becomes a change therefore the
effects it has on the higher levels also
a change when it comes when therefore
the the elevations are much total
different level so therefore every
explains powerfully says like this this
powerful idea of the quality of the
lower level and the the elevation that
it does in the higher level where is
that play out in practically that is
when it you're dealing with the level of
what of chuva when someone goes ahead
and transformed to return to Hashem
because when you draw down the essence
of the soul the level of shell or the
level of T of of of of T snow or or w
in your internal Powers you have you
have a change up to the point what kind
of change that when something is
negative something of sin come become
positive and therefore the elevation
that happens in the soul you can't
compare so by coming down to the lowest
level making the change you actually
Elevate in the highest level so Bas the
explains beautifully it says that's why
the B
says look down from your high dwelling
on high and bless is and we and what
what what we explained before the reason
why it says before is because we is the
greater Revelation in action and we know
that tal is go great but only reason why
it's great because it brings you to
action and those that do a MIT have the
power to transform a curse into a
blessing and the main quality of action
is where when you return to AEM when you
transform the negative into a positive
sh says you can say that these three
ideas
of where it
says in the verse that we quoted
before didn't want to listen to b and
then he transformed it and then because
hm loves us so so they're referring to
the Avid ofik righteous people which is
the of
learning the of returning to the level
of and then you have another level of TR
the level of what of wool and now let me
explain
this that the verse
of doesn't want to listen to what does
that mean he doesn't want to listen to
any negativity what is that
that's learn do we're not engaging we're
not listening we have nothing to do with
negativity what's the next level by is
going to transform the curse into a
blessing which means you're taking
something which is negative and you're
turning something positive and how does
that happen by
revealing which is above which is like
the the idea of the level of of tra
returning to hem on the of the level of
Shel and to the high the level of high
of the person and the highest
level loves us which is referring to the
essential love that hasem has for the
Jewish people that even in the level
with asov is a brother to Y but
nevertheless hem loves y why because
through doing a level of tra on the
highest level and know you re you fix
all the blemishes by revealing the
essence of your soul that what does that
mean that even when you sinned and you
compared so to speak to asov no no even
when you sinned you were still in faith
withm and discour he brings these three
ideas even the level of why is he
bringing the level which is the level
ofik you have these powerful levels of
tra and know even though the whole ideas
of of transforming the lowest level
because what happens is in the the avoid
of
TR because what the quality takes place
through returning to Hashem which which
makes a change is also applies to the
level of a
sadic and like he says the real power of
someone doing a Mitzvah so when it comes
to truv someone someone that sin and
repents you see it in a revealed way but
the goal is that even the sadic should
do chuva and when it comes to truva
there's two levels one is to transform
it and the other one is loves you and
each one has obviously a pro over the
other one he liked to add as follows
this that the verse
says it doesn't say
um he uses the term s twice in other
words that he's bringing out like we
brought has two different ideas s
because he wants to bring out there two
blessings there's a blessing for the
ones that do and there's a blessing for
is those that learn T in other words
besides the fact that the Blasted the
the the ones which is referring to those
that do mitv and through there comes a
blessing to all the Jewish people but
there's another blessing this blessing
of what does that mean explains as
follows to bless which means a simple
people what does that mean they learn
toyra and they do MIT innocently and and
and and and and purely and what does
that mean literally that you bringing in
from the from the essence of like we
said the highest level ofmer and the the
fact is the liity comes from the
Simplicity of their soul that's the
first level but
then those that learn is referring to
bringing down into the revealed part
which is shell but afterwards he also
says but even after two different levels
what do you say once why because
ultimately really it's all one that
basically that the fact that hasm is
blessing the the the the Simplicity and
um that that blessing comes to the
Jewish people in know words bringing in
the essence of the internal part that
even in the Eternal attributes that we
have which which all be based but based
on our our Essence finishes up
beautifully and he says like
this all the powerful ideas it doesn't
doesn't take away from the literal
meaning of the powerful blessing hasm
should give us and it should be very
very quickly AEM should bless the Jewish
people literally on all our spiritual
needs all our physical needs we should
all have children Children
Health um sustenance all within
abundance and ultimately from the full
and complete and holy and abundant hand
from Hashem here you have another
beautiful powerful cic discourse a lot
of lot of deep cabalistic cabalistic
ideas but ultim like says ultim should
bless us all with everything that what
anyone needs physically and spiritually
and ultimately the ultimate blessing of
the coming of Messiah let's hope and
pray that our next class will be
Ines have a great and blessed week sh
