Peace, Unity & Love. החלצו A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on this we're going to be learning this week a beautiful discourse from the rebel the name of the city discourse is called heiholtsu the rebels said this hasidic discourse and shabbos parish that year was the 28th day of the month of tamils which is also the shabbos that blessed the month of menachem of in the year tough shin memzain 35 years ago so again the discourse is based on the verse in this week's torah portion where it says to pick and gather from amongst you are nostrils men for war and they'll go out to midyoung to take revenge for the midianites and the tourist pacific and says ella flamanta a thousand per tribe a thousand per tribe so whatever says we know the uh uh civic discourse um from the altareba in the terror and this parsha which is called the hasidic torah portion and in the acidic discourses after that as well till the famous kassidic discourse called a khulsu from the rebel rashford which generally speaking the darkness has a connection to the time that we're in besides the fact that's the torah portion of this week and over there in the discourse they asked such a question the verse says so seemingly he holds means gather who should you gather you should gather everybody but the fact is they weren't gathering everybody so it should have said yeah with a youth versus a hate who knows what is a something gather everybody and since it says he also may each come from among you not everyone's being gathered and like it says clearly afterwards a thousand for our tribe a thousand for a tribe and now this is there's a you know there's always in judaism there's always two opinions at least so when it says a thousand for a tribe a thousand for a tribe says debate whether it's a thousand per tribe or it's actually twice a thousand per charge is two thousand per tribe but anyway but that's not the most important point here but the point is whereas a thousand or two thousand tribe it's only some amongst you so then it's you know if so not hey so that question is why is it use the term a culture referring to what to gather from everybody also they're asking another question why is it this war against the midianites was through maestro avenue and up to the point we know moisture albania went on self-sacrifice for this war and like the metro says and it's brought down the discourses that even though moisture may not knew that after this war unfortunately his time was up he's going to go back to heaven he's going to pass on but nevertheless he could have could have prolonged the war he could have not gone right away because that would give him more time in this world no hashem said go to war he went to war and he went on a seriousness he didn't hold back anything and actually he went quickly and the question is why was it so important that moisture iranians should be so involved in this war so drought says it explains based on its brought down the city this course is as follows what is the war against midian so again obviously there's the country of midian we know that but what is the spiritual war against mignon everything that takes place in the physical world is a spiritual war the spiritual war against mignon is is this is the subdue the clipper the spiritual negative shell of midianites so midian represents a very very strong negative energy and the war against many was to get rid of that negative energy what is the negative energy of midion on a spiritual level so in the surya it says is the negative energy of madone umariva conflict lack of unity hostility hate anger anything that goes in in in arguing in conflict that's what media is all about media is all about conflict not getting along fighting etc so what's the war against nidyan is to fix the conflict to fix the war to fix the negativity how do we do that by the opposite by bringing in peace and unity so again to be clear what is the essence of midyoung conflict hate animosity etc what is do how do we fix it by bringing in peace and unity so if god forbid somebody is in conflict with somebody to spell it out you're a midianite versus our job is to be what not minion we want to be in peace and unity up to the point that it's not just to create peace and unity but you have to get rid of the creeper the negative energy of million of conflict up to the point where we know the kabbalah says take a dark moment of conflict and turn it around to something positive and like it says clearly in the torah and when it speaks about the war with the midianites so what does it say there you have to go ahead and gather the spoils and you have to get the loot and it was all brought back to the jewish people and a part of it wasn't just given to the israelites it was given to the levites and the in other words you know before all these spoils away with the midianites means the midianites had control and they bringing conflict into the physical world we were taking back that and elevating it and bringing into a a place of peace and unity because before it was it was connected and it was the attached to the to the negative energy of mid young and that one was brought back to the jewish people it was transformed up to the point of the israelites the levites and the priest was transformed into a very positive space and like it's explained in in detail the different um parts of the way the spoil was divided up in in the torah i know so as you see the way it's the way it played out in a physical level obviously that's the way it's on a spiritual level and the same thing is the opposite the way something is on spiritual level that's why it plays out in the physical level in other words so what do we see clearly from the there was saying is that the war against midian is a war against the creeper the negative energy of conflict what is the goal of the war to take the conflict and transform into something peace and happiness and unity so now we know what we need to do we need to go and take away conflict take away negativity take away take away animosity and create peace creates unity how do we do that rubber explains the way you accomplish of nullifying the clipper the negative energy of midion which is represented by by the opposite of of of uh of peace and unity it happens through in other words because we know that the whole purpose of torah is to bring peace in the world like it's brought down right now to these rights and the end of the laws of hanukkah the whole purpose where hashem gave the torah we're learning torah is so that we can create peace very very important the purpose of torah is to create peace so if you don't have peace in your life and you're learning torah you have to question yourself maybe you're not plugged in correct correctly now i'm not saying you shouldn't learn you should continue learning but the learning is supposed to it's supposed to create an impact of peace up to the point that even when it comes to like a a a um a conflict in torah so you know that it says in the talmud a beautiful piece of talmud look it up in tractor condition page 30 the second side of the page it says like this so it says that even a father and a son and a teacher and a student when they're learning they get into conflict because listen i say this you say that and so on and so there's conflict when you learn good conflict but still conflict but it says in the talmud after the learning i don't mean after the learning but when learned when the towards the end of the session of the father and the son and a parent and a and a teacher and a student of studying at the end they become become lovers they become friends and they are friends and based on the verse we're testing the torah s over there it's referring to two places the jewish people journeyed so the way it's translated is as for have been means at the end so at the end is love so maybe initially it looks like when two people are learning they're arguing everyone says like this and i'm right then you're wrong etc by the end of the study session they love each other there's no hate there's no animosity they were just discussing some piece of talent but the back to the point so they're ever saying is like this peace comes from learning turrets you're gonna say we need torah people arguing torah it looks like they're arguing in the beginning they're arguing by the end there's always peace but the point is that torah brings peace it does maybe it doesn't look like it at the end there's always peace there's always love there now but that makes it clear since toyota yes people argue interior because my opinion your opinion the right the left and so on and so forth so you have to make sure when you're learning torah that you should learn not in a way and i'll use a kabbalistic phrase of nietzsche we know one of the spheres isn't what doesn't mean i want to win if you want to win that's that's not peace so you shouldn't be learning where i'm right and you're wrong hello there's a reason why you write why you as a person wrong and those if your intent of learning is that you you you know you're using out your learnings you're learning to just use your energy of natural to show that you're right that's not going to work but you have to learn torah so you have to learn torah but not with with a level of natsuk i'm right and you're wrong but you have to learn terrorism what does it mean tara lashma you're learning for what does hashem want what does hashem want what is hashem saying said not like i think this is the answer or you what i'm saying is right when you're saying is wrong or vice versa no what is hashem saying here once it's what hashem is saying it's not personal and then then there's no conflict really we all both wonder what hashem wants from us so then what happens is when you're learning toyota that's ingredient number one and you're learning target ishmael you're learning terms because that's what hashem wants then even when you're arguing in torah at the at the end you're gonna you're gonna still love each other so in other words like this number sign is like this in order to create peace it comes to learning torah but learning taylor in a way you're learning at the small but if you're learning it and at the end there's conflict you didn't learn it for the right reasons so it's not just learning torah you have to learn torah and learn sorry for hashem and the proof was in the pudding if after the starting you still love each other and this is what the idea of learning torah le shmoop for hashem and like it's brought down the other says in many many places in history discourse and especially the previous of the previous rabbi that when a person learns torah not to prove that he's right or she's right but the order to me to bring out that i want to bring my make sure my point is heard but you're learning terror for ourselves because what does hashem want from us because you're learning story for the sake of terror not for your sake that you want to bring out your right then the learning is from love so again torah le shma and then then then you'll have love and simply speaking jeremy says even the difference of opinions in torah this one says it's forbidden and this one says it's it's okay this one says it's kosher it's not kosher the truth is we know that in the torah we say when someone says it's right someone says left they're both correct depends on what perspective you're coming from so therefore even when when you have two different opinion it's not god forbid this one's right it's wrong they're both right so therefore terror is always about peace and the same thing also ever says and even more so when it comes to jewish law and torah when you learn torah and you want to have what's the what is what is your jewish law you have to come to the law from a place of and a key word and we learned this many many times so this you have to come to it from a place of bitter a place of acceptance and that's what we see clearly it says in the talmud in reference to king david we know king david learned a lot of terror and he gave a lot of rulings so thomas says clearly by reference to king david the hashem emoji youth buffa hashem was with king david and the is like king david not like shaol why because when so when he learned it was all using his own intellect his own logic however when we know king david he had tremendous humility in hebrew it's called another and bitter he was totally of acceptance so because he was learning torah he was learning terrible small and he was learning to her with bitter so we say reference to king david hashem is with him because he learned the shema and he had beetle and the like like king david and that's why the according to him because he learned torah he learned the shema and he learned it with bitter so then what happens is not only the the learning torah creates peace but even the jewish law and torah is in the way of peace and now based on the server explains beautifully why we asked how what's the connection with moisture mining in the war of midian and he went and a syrian snapper he should be part of the war even though he was going to die because what's the connection with with the war with mushroom because what's moisture they know moisture is all about torah like we know it says clearly rasmus abdi says in the prophet you should remember the terror of moisture my servant and as we see that terror is called a moisture veino and by through learning torah you nullify the the the clipper of midyoung and and you create true peace and true one oneness against us to recap what you're ever saying is what's the issue with midion the clipper of divisiveness arguments conflict our job is to create peace how do we create peace by learning torah learning turret not in a way that it's my opinion but really learning terrorism and with bitter acceptance and that will create the ultimate piece and that will abolish and eradicate any level of conflict which is part of the clip of now there is to understand all this like even deeper so ever since we're gonna understand this based on what's brought down in in the continuation of the civic discourses where it says in the talmud as follows whoever learns torah and le small remember you're learning terror and the schmuck learning terror is not enough you have to learn terry for the sake of hashem what you do is you accomplish peace on the heavenly sphere and on the lower sphere i'll say it in hebrew color is small whoever learns terry for the sake of hashem may seem shallow you shall my little palamalia you bring peace on the higher levels and the lower levels what does that mean there's on a simple level it means very simple what's the higher spheres is referring to the higher worlds and what's the lowest fears referring to the lower worlds and in both worlds the higher worlds and the lower worlds you create peace so learning terrorism creates peace in the higher worlds in the low worlds and it's also brought down the civic discourses that the same thing applies not only in the higher worlds and the lower worlds but in the whole level of in hebrew it's called in kabbalah it's called say their histories the whole flow of energy it goes down from world to world from spirit to sphere you create peace on all the levels because the fact is on every single level of say they're established you have the higher and the lower and in every place you create peace between the higher and the lower because the fact that there's always something which is higher in every in every level every level starting from mozilla's in every sphere that's the higher and the lower and the goal of terror is to create peace between both of them and again learning terror keith's word lishma and more specific journal says this idea it applies to every one of us in our service of hashem look we saying we say it many many times because we're here to serve hashem so it's our spiritual work that we make we make peace between our higher level and our lower level what does that mean what does it mean are a higher consciousness in our lower consciousness let's go down to this our higher consciousness is referring to our intellect and our lower consciousness our emotions the fact is we all know that the root of all conflict is that if you get to the root of it shall i go to the right go to the left one is coming from your intellect and one is coming from your emotions one is the higher consciousness what's the right thing to do let's say for example go to the right and the emotional thing wants to go to the left so you have a conflict between the between the higher and the lower with the intellect and the emotions learning turtle will create peace between our conflict of the intellect and the emotions now what is the peace when you create peace if the intellect for example goes to the right and the emotions they go to the left house terror making peace and the peace is that the we all know the intellect is usually correct so the peace is that the emotions are willing and happily to follow the intellect which in kabbalah is called the the uh oh the empowerment of intellect over emotions in other words it's possible the it looks like listen i'm gonna go to the right so intellectually you're out to lunch on the right and emotionally you're living on the left you can literally living two lives intellectually you know this is the right thing to do and this is my head is there and emotionally i you know i go and i go party i do what i have to i follow the emotions two different worlds you have a split personality but that's not peace so what is peace when the intellect inspires and takes the emotions to follow the intellect and when the emotions follow the intellect now you have peace because both the intellect and the emotions are going the right one direction and river says it's um you can say for example an example of a famous story that the previous trevor said a reference to there's a famous uh saying that says follows i'll say it in in hebrew and i'll translate and i'll explain it the express the expression is their talk is on a talk it's either an expression what is it referring to so and which means basically a talk is is not is not an order what does that mean so talk actually is made up of three letters tough llamad kuf it's referring to a year in in hasidic history and the year of tough cuff lament so tough of llamas has the letters of talk so what happened was in that period of history the year of talk talk tough the the the the behavior of of of the of the of the people were very very wild they would sing and they would dance and they would you know they would do tumble sources there was no structure in their life it was just life of chaos so the altar was set in reference to that year that's not that's not a way to behave why because even though you know your the emotions are fired up and you're singing and dancing and making tumble souls but again we have an intellect khabad we need to lead our lives based on intellect yeah we have to be emotionally excited too but not that the emotion should lead our life and rashford said it's not a way to live why because the intellect has to has to lead us the emotions follow yes we're emotional people and we're excited and passionate and compassionate about life but the intellect has to be guiding us so that's what he's saying is a talk the life of of that year which was full of chaos and drama is not it's not a way to live why because the intellect has to be the guiding force in our lives and ever since he'd like to add to this as follows it also applies in generally by the jewish people why because you have the palmalius you have the higher like a higher level of of the jewish people which is referring to who the people that sit and learn torah people that are occupied with with with going to school and and studying and teaching torah which generally speaking in the jewish world is called these success are the ones that learn torah and teach torah then there's also the lower the lower level what is that referring to the zvul and the people that are in business and commerce but you have to make peace between them you can't say listen intellect the people that's to learn on the elite the people are in business they're the lower levels that's that's not going to work you want to pay you want to create peace between the two of them and not only do you want to pay you actually create a partnership between them like it's brought down the code of the jewish law that you can make up a deal the the person starting to make a deal with the person in business that the learning that he's studying should be for the person doing business in order for him to support him so they're both benefiting this one's learning terror this one's in business this one's giving someone the reward of learning character one in business one in business is supporting one learning torah and like the end of chapter five so he says there are people that are based on the verse and the prophets the people that were that support the people learning torah and it says in in the prophets which are those that hold on to the torah are blessed and so the same thing also those that support the terror are also blessed this idea is to create peace between what two different types of jewish people one assistance learns torah a whole day one is in business and create between peace between the two of them so based on this treb explains beautifully why the war against miguel was specifically through my shereno why because you had to create unity between intellect and emotions and the same thing also you had to create by the jewish people in general you know you have to create in uh the union between insult emotions within the within each individual you have to create unity and peace between the two types of the jewish people you sacrifice ruling the person that's learning terrible person in business and it's not enough um just to learn torah you have to have the unity you have to have you have to have peace and and in order to accomplish that you can't even just ask the priest that that was in those days or or the judge that was in those days even though the the priest or someone that learns terry ryan and he can make rules and torah etc but who do you have to ask to create the ultimate piece you need to ask the visionaries of the generation the enema the leaders of the jewish people and like it's brought down the author explains in tanya who are the leaders of the jewish people that's that those are the the the which is connect to moisture bainu so in other words that's why they have to be spiritual to moisture beneath because mushroom is the lead of the jewish people he was he has the eyes of the jewish people the influence of jewish people and through moisture renew he created real peace and real unity so based on this river explains beautifully sounds like this now we'll understand the lesson from this specific discourse that you have to have the war against midyoung and what's the purpose of the war that you have to create peace and love and specifically based on it's brought down there brings a beautiful a powerful story of the previous rabbi on this specific discourse that he that uh there was once said on on sunglass toro and afterwards another time and so the famous story that the algebra said that in reference to religious people that were learning torah and doing mitzvos but there was a lack of peace and the observer said when he's more afraid from religious people that learn torah and do mitch voice but they're not peaceful than someone that's not religious because unfortunately peace is the key to all the blessings on the other hand you can learn to read you can do mysteries if there's lacking peace that's a source of all the problems and it's actually a beautiful uh uh um a secret from the previous river printed it in the in in the back of the book of renat um um this this story about the altera but you see from here clearly that what's important is you have to gather everybody everyone has to be gathered through moisture renew to create peace love and unity and this is a lesson that's why to gather everybody even though seemingly only gathering some people because no when it comes to peace and unity you have to gather everybody and it's a lesson to every single person and there is not only is every person even women are obligating this why because we know women are exempt from mitchells they're they're they're constrained at a certain time this diamond is constrained at a certain time so it applies to everybody and every finish opening should be the will of hashem there should be peace in the lower spheres and peace in the higher spheres which is in which is also including peace between the soul the way it's on high in heaven or like it says they're the souls and level of the world absolutely and your soul comes down to this world but you start in a factory debris at to create peace with the syracuse level of the soul in the lower level soul up until the ultimate peace which is going to be when mashiach comes because then what's going to happen is we're going to do commit we're going to do the mitzvot it's not because of any agenda or any benefit or any reward we're going to do the mitsuku hashem's mitzvah hashem wants us to do the mitzvah and that's the ultimate piece and whoever says this it's going to happen when the shia comes and it's going to happen the curry mamash very very soon and it's going to happen the simcha with joy over to leibov and gladness of heart so here again is another beautiful beautiful discourse of the rebbe about the importance of peace because peace is key to all the blessings unity is key to all the blessings and if you want to have peace and you want to have pe unity it comes from learning torah learning tara the shema for the sake of hashem commits and if we continue to learn torah we learn terrorism we'll have the blessing of peace and unity and god willing will be here and the next class will be in your s have a great and blessed week shavua tov
