welcome to our class on clitus we're
going to be learning a beautiful civic
discourse in the rebbe the name of the
discourse is called the hechrim hashem
the rebels said this acidic discourse
near tough shrimp test 33 years ago
and you ever went on to certify and
edited the civic discourse right after
pesach and that year in telstra memphis
so again the civic discourse is based on
the verse from the prophet isaiah which
we also say in the torah
of akron shall pass on the last day of
peace after the prophet says as follows
hashem is going to dry up the sea of
egypt
and the
heinous and he's going to smite it
despite the river with tremendous power
and tremendous strength
so the rebel brings from the rebel
maharashtra who's the fourth chabad
rebbe and he's known as
the means if you used to begin with you
should go above and beyond and he
explains this verse at length in a
classic discourse of the urban rash
called the hecrim
and he says as follows besides the fact
that in the future when she comes
is going to dry up the sea of egypt just
like he did when we went out of mishra
in egypt the first time
he's also going to go ahead and he's
going to put his hand on the river which
means that he's going to split the river
which is much higher than splitting of
the sea when he did when he went when he
went out of egypt and like the rebel
mirage explains and that has discourse
at length the the extra power and the
extra energy is going to take place in
mashiach
and he brings out the main novel idea
the main khidis the main new idea what's
going to happen come is that it's going
to be the kia sanar where the the river
the is going to go go ahead and be split
and like the verse says
that he's
means he's going to go ahead and ch and
and and switch the yam the sea which is
normally wet and he's going to turn it
into a dry land and that's referring to
how
he did it what the times of going out of
egypt when he split the sea and that's
when when we left egypt but
but not the second part of verse it says
that we're going to go on our feet into
the into the river is referring to the
splitting of the nar which is going to
be when mashiach comes and um
and the fact that we're going to be able
to go into the nahar by foot which can
be totally split that's the true and
novel idea what's going to happen when
mashiach comes so whatever happened in
egypt was amazing
it's going to be a whole different level
andrea says something very powerful he
says like this
so the hecrin this the diverse also says
that he's going to take the the the sea
of egypt and it um uh
it's going to dry up which is referring
to when we run out of egypt what does it
say afterwards the hain if you're the
lnr he's going to put his hand on on the
river is referring to where messiah
comes but it's in the same verse so why
are they both topics going out of egypt
and the future redemption the same verse
so the episode the reason why it's in
the same words to teach us that going
out of egypt
which is basically the redemption from
egypt
and going and the ultimate redemption
they can happen one after the other
we we look at it we went out of egypt
thousands of years ago the machine is
going to come sometime in the future but
there is the fact that in the same verse
just like we went out of egypt right at
that right then we could have the
ultimate redemption you know there
doesn't have to be a gap between us
going out of egypt and the future future
future redemption lahaina if you're the
lear which i mean in the future
and especially rubber says
so
to recap what they're saying is the fact
that they're both in the same verse
going out of egypt and the future
redemption that means it can happen
simultaneously one after the other and
especially government says that in
that we're in occurrential pace after
you ever set the civic discourse and
over there in the afternoon of akron
pesach we speak about the ultimate
redemption
and on our crucial place we eat the
feast of meshiach and the feast of
the and the reading of the after but
future junction comes right after what
the seventh day of pesach and what
happened in the seventh day pace of
that's when hashem split the sea
so you see there's a direct connection
between the seventh day of peace
explaining the sea of going out of egypt
and the revelation of mashiach comes
now
since
this connection
is evers in the torah
so it's part of torah and since it's
part of torah we know that terrorism
inheritance belongs to everybody like it
says in the torah clearly toy received a
moisture moisturizer
he lost the accuracy it's an inheritance
to everybody so the idea the fact that
it's a connection it's not just this
holy people the torah belongs to
everybody and the torah says going out
of egypt right afterwards going the
ultimate redemption it applies to
everybody that means every single one of
us have the power in the out of the
ability men women children to go
straight from kriyasyam so splitting in
the sea which took place in egypt the
seventh day of pesach right away we can
all go to the ultimate redemption
without even waiting even like the blink
of an eye
and this that whatever's saying is that
we can go from going out of egypt
straight into the ultimate redemption
is actually brought out in the afternoon
that we read in our control peso that
we're going to read in pesach what is it
saying the after background should play
soccer speak of the mashiach the messiah
and it says
hashem a spirit of hashem is going to be
on the messiah
and who is that referring to allah on
him is referring to mashiach as the
verse says
so seemingly
exclusively
it's going to come upon him
the messiah is going to have a spirit of
hashem
but nevertheless whoever says the fact
is that it was established a jewish
custom that every single jewish person
on the holidays
and the pray that we say uniquely when
we open up the ark so we open the ark
normally say regular he been saying but
on the hall there's an extra pray that
we say
and in the prayer what do we say in that
prayer it says the ascai embankment it
should be fulfilled with our within us
the verse that says
that the spirit of hashem shall be upon
us and what's what's the prayer saying
that every single jewish person
specifically every single every single
unique individual
should have the revelation and what kind
of a revelation of a relation of a nacha
allah hashem it quotes the verse that
the spirit of hashem just like it's
going to be your mashiach should be on
each and every one of us with all the
details of the verse
which means the heinous so what is
bringing out from here is
that
going out of egypt
and the future redemption they can come
one after the other
and it's and it applies to everyone just
like ezra says like the prophet says
and it applies to every one of us can
have that powerful spirit
news what what are we waiting for let's
go to mashiach
let's experience the ultimate redemption
and rubber says the fact is
meshiach revealing himself and us
experiencing the ultimate redemption of
mashiach is dependent on i'll say the
two words in hebrew
our actions and our spiritual work
which basically means that when we do
our mitzvoth and there's many thank god
the 613 opportunities to do mitt's voice
so when we do our mid choice that
creates the redemption
it
not only does it create the global
redemption but it actually creates a
personal dance of redemption of a person
doing a mitzvah in other words when a
person does a mitzvah
when you're doing a mitzvah you create
for yourself true freedom
literally when we do a mitzvah we are
creating true freedom for ourselves and
like to ever say that it explained at
length in tanya
in the altar of tanya in the in the
section of the holy letters the fourth
letter so the alter explains what they
are at length
and he and he ties it in with the verse
that says
that my soul is redeemed in peace and
the author explains very very deeply and
very very methodically that when a
person does a mitzvah you're literally
taking your soul out of exile you're
literally freeing your soul you're
allowing yourself to connect to the
infinite god you're basically taking
away
all the concealment and all the
limitations of exile and you can
literally experience freedom when you're
doing a mitzvah so par so if you want to
have freedom there's the global freedom
of shia comes but if you want to
experience personal freedom anytime you
do a mitzvah
you're a free person
your soul gets out of the shell it
connects to the infinite
and you ever says
and to add to that point
that the personal redemption
pogba bashar al-ansi my soul is redeemed
in peace by doing a mitzvah which
happens by doing a mitzvah so it's not
only while you're doing the mitzvah but
it has an effect afterwards you're going
to say what do you mean so i'm doing
them it's on free five minutes later i'm
in exile there says no no you do admit
so you're free but guess what the
freedom lasts afterwards as well and
like the author explains in tanya about
when a person does a mitzvah so you
create a yehud
means you create a oneness with hashem
when a prayer anytime you do a mitzvah
you becoming one with hashem now when
your person becomes one with hashem
since hashem is infinite
so the you the connection is also
infinite
it's called in hebrew yehud nitri a alt
a everlasting oneness
and when it when you create the
everlasting ones by doing a mitzvah that
affects you literally down here you
become one with hashem
so the same thing also when a person
goes out of exile by doing a mitzvah
padre bashar al-ansi when you do a
mitzvah when you redeem your soul by
doing a mitzvah so it's not just while
you're doing the mitzvah it has an
everlasting effect
on a spiritual level and also down in
this world and like it says like it says
in ghazal whoever learns torah you're
creating peace
in the heavenly abode and down here
because by learning torah you're cr
you're creating a freedom for yourself
and free of freedom for the skreena and
it's an everlasting connection
and the the personal redemption which is
created by doing a mitzvah
has a residual effect and not only for
five minutes later or ten minutes later
a day later literally has an impact you
on your whole life and every single part
of your day that you that you you're
busy with afterwards
and when you after we we experience the
personal freedom then we can have the
ultimate freedom the general freedom
where it's going to whereas the verse
says clearly
you know what freedom is when hashem is
going to be the king over the world when
everyone everyone's going to recognize
and the world is going to recognize
hashem as a king on a on a spiritual
level and also on a practical level
that's the ultimate freedom so
whatever's explaining is to recap is
that
we can each have our personal freedom
by doing a mitzvah and not only when
you're doing the mitzvah but when you do
the mitzvot it has an affecting you
afterwards as well
and once we each have our personal
freedom and then the uh
president has felt in the world that's
what will ultimately have the ultimate
redemption the ultimate freedom
and driver continues on to say as
follows besides the fact
that anytime a person learns torah and a
person does a mitzvah which is called
so we actually
bring the redemption closer and we make
it a reality but there's actually a a
school there's a special you know uh
remedy and the special energy that's
created specifically
with with things which are connected to
mashiach because generally learning
turning doing misfires you become free
and when you become free it lasts while
you're doing learning turning you're
doing this even afterwards but then we
ultimately want to be focused on
bringing the redemption so there's
there's certain specific things that you
can do to bring about the redemption
what are they so for example the rebel
says that on on the last day of pesach
to eat the feast of meshiach we know the
last days of pain the last day of pesach
what we do is we wash we eat matzah we
drink four cups of wine or four cups of
grapes whatever you're able to drink
and when we talk about mashiach that's
what will bring mashiach it was just
like the four cups of wine that we drank
in the first night of pesach why do we
drink four cups of wine because that is
that is connected to the four different
expressions of redemption where it
speaks out in the torah a reference to
going out of egypt so the same thing
also when you drink the four cups of
wine by the southeast mashiach on the
last day of pesach it's also connected
to the ultimate redemption in other
words they both have four levels of
redemption going out of egypt that's for
the first line to pass over the second
had to of passover and the last time in
place where across the place when we
drink the four cups that's for the four
levels of redemption from what's going
on comes
and there's what's the connection with
the four
levels of expression of redemption and
reference of mashiach coming and ever
says
based on
we know that in terms of the ultimate
redemption
is is we we we drink the four cups of
wine in akron
why is that because the four cups are
connected to four different expressions
of goula which is going to happen when
mashiach comes
and and and we see specifically in the
prophets it says clearly when shia comes
what's going to happen so the prophet
says hashem is going to gather us from
we are from the arab confess
from the four corners of the world so
you see that drinking the cups besides
the fact that it it's in it coincides
with the four different levels of a
redemption but it's also connected to
the fact that mashiach comes hashem is
going to gather us from all of all four
corners of the world and
it's possible also to add
that this that on the on the last night
of pesach the southeast mashiach we have
the same amount of cups
four cups just like the first night in
the second night in other words why is
that
to bring out the same point as before
that in order to go from the first
redemption
going out of egypt
which we that's what we drink the four
cups in the first two nights of passover
and to go to the ultimate redemption and
that's how we drink the four cups on the
last night of passover
so you see that it's to create the
connection that you don't have to have a
gap that you can have literally a
redemption
down this physical world just like we
left egypt we're free we're not in egypt
anymore so the same thing also weak
every one of us can experience the
ultimate redemption by drinking the four
cups of wine on the last night of pesach
and especially durban says that ma
saying
which means learning torah and doing
mitt's voice what we do today there's a
fascinating idea we're like a on
a giant why because when we we learn
today and we do mitzvos today it comes
after
the tremendous learning
and mitzvahs and the tremendous
spiritual impact that the previous
kabandra beam had in all the generations
starting with
as it mentions every one of the
rabbis to draw in their energy starting
with the alta rebel the first khabad
rabbah the second kabandra by the mittal
arabah the third kabad river the sadiq
the fourth one the rebel maharaja the
fourth the rebel swastika adam and the
the fifth the fifth one the sixth one
the the friday grabber and so
since we are
coming after all their effort so how
much more so that
we with our effort of learning torah and
doing mitzvos and especially trevor says
eating this mashiach and drinking the
four cups of wine nakanja prasak we can
bring the redemption
right away and in the point of kaherif i
imagine like like a blink of an eye and
you ever finish over and he says it
should be the will of hashem
that the redemption should happen in a
revealed way up to the point that
everyone literally with their finger be
able to point
and say oh here is mashiach
just like
um just like we're sitting in this
machine everyone can point and say oh
here's here's the matzah here's the wine
the same way we'll build a point and say
here's meshiach and an internal level we
know just like for example when it comes
to the susmashiach we eat the monster we
internalize it and we drink the wine we
internalize it it becomes part of our
flesh so the same thing also mashiach
has become part of who we are and what
it's going to happen
in a way of simcha with tremendous joy
with evolve and gladness of heart and
literally very very soon very very
quickly take it from yad mamas hashem is
going to take us out of the galas and as
we know the lord iqran i fear careful i
am in time for mashiach's arrival is
going to come hashem is not going to
even hold back even like the blink of an
eye so let's hope and pray
that we celebrate akron shall praise
like we're supposed to by having a feast
for mashiach eating the mantra drinking
the four cups of wine and as rebel said
literally from going out of egypt we're
celebrating going out of egypt in the
first seven days of pesach well we'll
all experience the ultimate redemption
and god's willing our next class will be
in your
iraqis have a happy pesach
and as most importantly you should have
the true semiconducive
and next class will be in eretz israel
have a great and happy pesach
