welcome to our class on this we're going
to be learning a beautiful deep hasidic
discourse in the rubber the name of the
hasidic discourse is called shir
hamalois
a song of ascent from our depths
the rabbit said this qasidic discourse
on shabbos parshas hazinu
which was also shabba shriva in the year
tough shin memress
34 years ago which actually this was the
second
for bringing the riverhead which is a
continuation to the second day of rosh
hashanah
whoever went on to certify and edit this
hasidic discourse in honor of the sixth
day of the month of history and again
the same year tough summer 34 years ago
so again the civic discourse is based on
the verse
a song of a sense from my depths i reach
out to hashem
so the river says this this
verse
is a is is the is is the first verse of
the psalm that's established that we say
it every single day in the 10 days of
truva
starting from the first day which is
rosh hashanah which that's the first day
of the ten days of trouba and actually
many many discourses begin with this
verse
hashem
and the riverside is brought down the
civic discourse is that when it says
meanwhile mocking from the depths
there's actually two different opinions
in the zohar of what depth are we
referring to so there's one opinion over
yitzchak
and the other opinion is of verb
yitzhak says what does my machine mean
it's referring to the depths of the
person
in other words that the person is
praying for the depths of his soul
in other words from the depths of and
who is the one that composed this psalm
king david so is the the depths of the
of the soul of king david a kingdom that
composes psalm and the same thing also
it's the depths of every single jewish
person that says this psalm
so so that's the opinion of who rabitsak
in the zorah
rav abba comes along and says marcum is
not referring to depths of king david
and the jewish people and everyone
that's saying the psalm but referring to
the the tremendous depths and i'll say
it in hebrew or in aramaic atar gonz a
special hidden treasure on high so we
share how my last referring to the
depths of that powerful treasure that's
on high
so those are the two opinions in the
zohar but says referring to the human
being the person saying the psalm versus
opposites referring to the depths of the
treasure that we're praying we're
praying we're praying to
and he continues on to explain in the
civic discourse
that
besides the fact is that that the
difference of opinion which def's
referring to but also the to explain the
word me ma makim because
what's the soyuz so where the word is
oink depth so and so to say making me
make it means from the depths what does
it mean from the depths it means there's
two level in the depths in other words
and it goes according to both opinions
in other words according to our jitsak
it's referring to the depths of the
depths of the person saying the prayers
starting with king david and then every
single person says the prayer and what
does that
translate practically it's referring to
and i'll say in hebrew translate um
the depths of our hearts
and according to our baba it's referring
to the depths of the depths from the
high levels on high where this
tremendous treasure is lying
and he continues on to explain
that the ma even though even though it's
both depths the depths of our depth we
pray and the depths that we're reaching
on high but the the main the main
insights referring to the depths on high
we're reaching that we have the power to
reach so so deep
in other words when
karasikha when we call out hashem we
reach to the depths of the depths of the
powerful treasures on high
up to the point that we reach such a
deep level
that
in high levels is a higher low when you
go so deep and the highest level is no
higher and lower it's beyond higher and
lower
and he continues on to say karasika then
we called youth
we could call the depths of hashem
hashem himself
now but nevertheless even though mainly
it's referring to the depths on hiding
or reaching the depths of the treasure
but the fact is there's also one opinion
or abusive that's referring to our
depths so the truth is what's the
connection never explains very simply
and i was like the expression is and
i'll say i'll say it and i'll translate
it
this person says like this and their
personality they're not arguing we're
talking two different things in other
words
because the power
and the ability that we have to reach
the depths the highest levels where
there's no difference between higher and
lower that comes from our depth of our
heart
what does that mean practically what
does it mean when you're reaching the
depth of your heart that's called truva
when we do truva that means we go to the
depths of our hearts or we reach we call
out to our shrine from the depths of our
hearts through that we have the power to
reach the highest level
and like it's explained to her because
this idea is explaining the civic
discourses and also
in the discourse that explains
specifically this this verse of sri
hamas
is referring to the depths our depths
reaching the highest depths which that
is practically speaking their body of
truva and others will return trash trend
how do we return to our shall we go to
our inner soul or inner heart um
and through that we reach the highest
level now
so now that i was going to explain this
that
how is it possible that when a person
does truva
you're able to reach such a high level
and we're not just dealing with into
kabbalistic terms that preemie
we're dealing with the depths of the
death with literally there's no high or
lower you're going so deep how do we
have the power through trouba to reach
ohio
so everybody explains a beautiful idea
and this is really really the power of
this specific discourse even though it's
a short discourse but it has a
tremendous tremendous message it never
sounds like this we can definitely give
an introduction based on what's
explained
in in the discourse for rosh hashanah
in um in the year tough race san diego
so we never said this
was it was it was 50 years before they
ever said this obviously now with 34
years later so it was acidic discourse
from um 80 84 84 years ago and over
there the the explains in the discourse
that in trouba when a person returns to
hashem the returning part there's two
different levels of truma in other words
and i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate
it there's the indian hatred the idea of
chuva the concept of truva and then
there's the
essence of true the essence of
repentance i never explained to this
what's in the scene in the indian the
idea of repenting the idea of returning
and the essence of returning and this is
a powerful foundation and hopefully
we'll get it and this will make a whole
a serious major and your kipp are
totally different they're never
experiencing this
the idea of truva means someone returns
hashem
so it's specific acts that were done not
necessarily appropriate or general ideas
so things that were wrong you want to
fix those personal things those specific
things and general things that need to
be fixed
even
so that's why you did something wrong
but even in things that you didn't
necessarily do something wrong
but you want to make it better you know
it's true if i'm doing something wrong
that's one level what's one area but
then the serious no you're coasting
through life you more or less you're
doing everything you're supposed to
you're not transgressing but you can
always you know there's an expression in
kabbalah to this if good is good better
is not better so life is good but we
want to make it better so true is on
different levels when you're trying to
make things better and as you're trying
to better yourself
purify yourself and as you want to make
your your your spiritual work more
complete
and up until that you like literally
find it you get it to where it's like
much better and almost like perfect so
to speak
and um
and so this way you you literally you
fix up all the things that were not
complete and therefore everything you're
doing is not just you know um you're
you're you're getting uh so to speak
your passing mark but you're getting
like an amazing mark
so that is the idea of trouba so again
to recap what is the idea of a trooper
is things that you did wrong you're
fixing it whether it's personal whether
it's specific or in general and then
refining your character whatever you're
doing to try and do it even a little
better trying to make a little more
perfect that's the idea of suva which is
great which is amazing but now jeff says
what's
up what is the essence really of truva
so whoever explains the essence of true
but
is
that from the place that you're standing
now
in your spiritual state
you leave that space
and you ever use that you're this word
i'm going to say to you this because
those are understanding you this but
it's a powerful word and it's a powerful
expression
which means you're totally taking a
whole different stand you're
transforming yourself you're creating a
paradigm shift
a paradigm obviously to a higher level
so you're like a different person
a whole different approach
in other words you're literally taking
yourself from putting yourself in a new
space
up to the point that compared to you
before you don't even recognize it
so in the first level
those things fixed okay things are
broken you fix it certain things you're
doing you're doing a little better so
there's a comparison
it's fixed it's broken if it was broken
is fixed you're doing it now you're
doing it better so there's some kind of
connection over here there was saying as
mohusach you're a totally different
human being
it's a whole different level of a
relationship
you don't you don't recognize the old
self you're a whole different human
being
in other words you go to a level
which you can't compare in hebrew it's
called lloyd you can't compare
up to the point where you're in such a
whole different level you can't even say
this is a higher level that was a lower
level not higher not higher not lower a
whole different level a whole different
way of seeing things a whole different
way of operating a whole different way
of thinking all the way speaking a whole
different way of acting a whole
different level a whole different
language
[Music]
in other words because you say higher or
lower you're saying higher lower but
there's a lower level
and obviously even though it's high but
it has a connection with the lower level
however when we're dealing with muhus
hatchuva the the essence of truva
there's no higher and lower it's a whole
different way of operating
which basically have no connection to
before in a good way it's not you it's
not me it's not that wasn't me that
wasn't my behaviors i have no connection
with it i am now in a whole different
space
up to the point and i'll say it in
hebrew because some powerful words here
you become a mathias hadassah you become
a new human being
there was and how was it created from
nothing
literally from nothing you became a new
human being that is muhammad that is the
essence of trouba
and when a person puts himself in that
place you can't compare to where you
before
once you make the shift
where you're on a whole new level so
we're talking once the person makes the
shift
obviously it has affects you
on your on your civic acts on your your
day-to-day activities
whatever you're doing
and therefore everything's going to be
different another's like this
in the first way
you're changing certain acts okay it's
better than before it's all focusing on
the act it's higher and slower
in the second level
it your whole new human being
the
the focus is on the shift
obviously once you there's a shift you
still operate you're still thinking you
still speak and you still do and you're
still everything but that's going to
change automatic once the person changed
in other words
once you make that shift and you're a
whole different human being
then obviously all the actions that you
do are going to be different and they're
going to be better and like deborah
brings the famous teaching in the khazal
that says and not only it says but
jefferson we're going to focus on the
order the way it's always said what does
it say it says
shiva
repentance and that's listed first
and then maison
good deeds my instruments his actions
and type which are good ones
he never explains based on this as
follows
when a person makes the shift you become
new so once you do truva which means
you're on a whole different level
so
that will create a whole different mice
and the actions are going to be
different
and it's going to create a whole
different experience and what means good
and it's going to create a whole
different human being
that the actions are going to be good on
a whole different level
so in other words i'm explaining like
this and this is this is like even
though it's a short consecutive
discourse but it's a powerful discourse
there's two levels of trouble
to recap there's a level of truth oh yes
you did certain things wrong you're
fixing it
or
whatever you're doing is good but you're
making it better so there's still a
connection between what was broken to
what's fixed and what you're doing
before it is better
the second level of truth is you're a
different human being it's not like
it before it was like this now it's like
that it's a whole new person a whole
human being a whole new experience
it's totally transport you're a new
person
obviously once you're a new person your
actions are going to be different your
deeds are going to be different
everything is going to be different
about you
so based on this server explains why it
says
what does that mean
because when a person does truva
from the depths of your heart
and the depth within the depths
which again which that now we have
language for what means of depth within
the depth what does that mean
practically it's referring to not the
idea of truva but the muhusa trooper
when the person goes me my mocking when
the person becomes a different human
being
then what happens is
you reach
on high
amika the amigda the depth of the depths
up to you reaching a level where there's
no even levels over there but what
caused you to reach there when you went
within and you made a a a total
transformation
and by doing that trevor says
we fulfill we we caught we fulfill all
the in the literal way all the prayers
of this of this psalm
what does that mean practically that we
reach the highest level
know the depths of the depths on the
highest level and up to the level where
it's beyond the higher and lower
and but then what happens is when you
reach that high level you bring down
that power into this world
and and literally comes into the world
which is space
it comes into time and it happens right
away and what happens when you draw down
this powerful energy from the highest
levels
we literally break all the boundaries
all the limitations
and we draw in the revelation of the
infinite light of hashem literally down
in this world and not only that there
was even further
up to the point where we bring down the
level where there's no such thing as
higher and lower everything is one
and
how does it all happen it happens all
based on when we reach our depths when
we become a total different human being
and what and then what happens our depth
and the depth of hashem become really
really one you know
when we call from our deaths and we
reach the highest left of hashem so what
do we eventually accomplish we
accomplish that israel
that us and hashem the jewish people
hashem become really really as one
entity and one human being so again it's
a short pacific discourse in honor of uh
the 10 days of trouba in honor of young
kipper you see even though it's short
but it's transform transformative
literally it shows us the way that we
reach our depths and we we do the
trouble we become a total different
being we reach the highest levels of
hashem and we bring that down to this
world and the greatest gift is we become
one with hashem i wish you all we should
have a great week of truva we should
have an easy fast and sunshine forgive
us and god willing will reach the
highest levels and next
class will be god willing in your
shelian iraqis have a great and blessed
week
