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
