Real Unity Seeing Positivity in Everyone. וזה מעשה המנורה מקשה זהב Kabbalah Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class inus. 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 it was the um 16th day in the month of in the year which is exactly 55 years ago. So again, the discourse is based on the verse in this week's Torah portion where it says this is the way the mona was made of it was hammered out of of gold to the base to the flowers was totally hammered out etc. So Reb says one second we have to understand the fact is in this week's Torah portion it speaks about lighting the manura and how to light the manura and the the way the manura was made was already explained in par. So if that's the case why does it say over here this is how the manura was made that's question number one also over here he only explains one piece about the manura that it was hammered out from the from the base to the flowers etc. So what does it mean? This is the making of the monora. It doesn't look like the making of the whole monora. So so therefore you have to say that specifically this point in making of the monora which means hammered out from the base to the flowers etc. is it it's it's connected to what it says before about lighting the monora where with the monora it says beforehand you have to light the monora that all the candles should face um uh all the seven candles should fa should face the middle and like say he's going to he's going to explain shortly now the we know terra is everlasting so what do we see from here that even in the time when we don't have the bas mikdash like today we also have these ideas on the spiritual And the question is what is it and what lesson can we learn from it will explain the idea based on what's explained to that the manra the physical man is called on a spiritual level the Jewish people Israel why because that's corresponding to the sphere which spir the sphere of malus and the the the Israel are called because it holds within it just like malus holds it it holds within godliness and what is the godliness is called godliness which is basically the the spherus of zah and the same thing also kessus the Jewish people down here because we are the source of the souls of the Jewish people which which within there all the Jewish people are in and that's why in the of when it speaks about the so it says elub and zabel was the was was the leader at that And we know the leader is everything like Rashi says and which means we he has within it all the souls of the Jewish people. Now what is the avoid the spiritual service of lighting the mono. So the altar explains in the tell the beginning of our Torah portion which means to elevate all the seven types of the Jewish people to elevate all the seven types of the Jewish people. And like it says when you elevate the candles to the to the center the face of the bona all the seven candles will shine in other words what are the seven candles it's referring to the seven different levels in serving hashem and what's the spiritual work of lighting the manura that all different seven ways should be elevated to the face of manura which means to the pmius of the el which means means to the essence of the will of Hashem. So this one serves Hashem this way and this that way and seven different ways of serving Hashem. But the goal of Aaron is to bring them all and connect into what and stay focused on the premise on the internal will of Hashem. So even though everyone has their sle but they're all connected to the source of what is the will of Hashem. Now the reason that all seven levels and seven types of the Jewish people are elevated equally and in to the to the to the face of which we said is the internal will of Hashem. How's that possible? You have this one like this and this one. Everyone's different. How do you create that unity? It's powerful. And here they teach something so powerful because the reality on an internal level the truth is they're really one. They're really one. And that's why the prophecy in reference to the it says to who is because comes actually from two word two words zerul which means that the seed is is is is is a combination of the seed of man and the seed of an animal which basically is generally on the spiritual we're talking two different lives two differenti types of souls in the Jewish people and like it's explained at length in the discourse of that these these two different types of the Jewish people and more specifically the seven types they're all bull they're all mixed together because the fact is not only they're mixed together they're actually all equal so in the source it's all equal and that's why he explains what the verse that says that this is the way the mana what we said what this is the way the manura was made of it's hammered out of one piece of gold you know it's from the base to the flowers it's all one piece why because the essence of the manura in its essence is really one. It's really really one piece. We're really really all one. So you think you're like this and you're like that. Guess what? It's all a veneer. It's all a facade. The fact is we're all one. So anomaly that says even when you see different parts and different divisions and different perspectives. This is the base and this is the flowers. like the the the base is basically the the lower part of the monura and the the the the flowers are so to speak the ones the ones on top which is obviously the the the beauty um and because the beauty of uh of of the body because it's it's above the uh above the feet the body in cabala is called tiferas goofa and not only that on a spiritual level the flowers are referring to the high level righteous people like the like explain when the reason why they're called the flowers because they're their prayers and and and they're they're studying Torah it flies on high through their love and their awe for Hashem which is the wings but the fact is it's all mahi it's really all one it's really all one and that's why he brings over here that the manura was made out of gold why because when a person meditates and a person meditates and comes to realization and the awareness that really it's all one then you come to the quality of gold over silver why because what is silver because silver is about Kess is is is is love. In other words, what's what's the love? That's the internal or the the concealed love that a person every person has in their heart. So silver is again it's the love the concealed love that everyone has in their heart. However, what's what's Zahov? What's gold? That's all of Hashem. In order to have awe that's not buried in the heart that comes through meditation which is as we know that awe is high higher than love which is called the the year of primis the internal ya or bushes. So when a person comes to realization that we're really really all one then you'll come to a higher and deeper relationship with Hashem and then he continues on to say and in the verse and he and he and he and he says it double and know he's coming to teach something some an additional point like we learn out in the um because uh like what is the second ma coming to teach us so explains that um that all the Jewish people need to be with 100% unity. Um, and what does that mean? True unity, not God forbid to look at anything negative in your friend. In other words, this that we're all one. Uh it's not only because that with that there's sort a quality in in in in in the in the feet over the head like they explained elsewhere because there are certain things for example that the head has a superiority over the head because the fact of the head wants to go somewhere the feet ain't going it's not going any anywhere. So the fact is there is a there is something that that the feet bring to the table that the head doesn't have but not and what do you say really we're unified but says even deeper that you shouldn't look in the negativity of someone else it you should look only in the positive. So the first mixture is telling us we're really all one and the second mixture is telling us don't look any anything negative anyone else and he and and and he and he explains over there just like when it when they made the manura they made the manura on a literal level. So what does Rashi say that it was basically there was one ball and he would you you would you would bang you would bang with a hammer in it and when you you bang you you when you banged on it so what happened would the process was you have a ball of gold and you bang it so the part uh that was on top went to the bottom and the part that was on bottom went to the top so a person so what lesson do you learn from that you have a ball and part goes to the bottom part goes to the top a person has to realize that there is also on high there there's there's a manura that what does that that there's something which is high actually went down and something which is down actually went up. In other words, that the the the bad um sometimes goes down and and and it goes into the person something bad. But on the other hand, there are certain things that a person does negative and then it can go up and so and and you can do something good and someone else can take it and and but what happens? So when if you see something down, the Reb says, don't push that on someone else. Say it's your issue. And and um and not only that, when you when you have something good, don't be so arrogant because maybe your good, which so to speak is on high, came from someone else going down. And maybe someone else is that that's your part. So because you have a ball and a ball everything's equal. So when you bang it, some piece go down, some people go below. So the fact is the thing that below came from high and thing from high came below. So therefore whatever you see in someone else down maybe maybe that's maybe that's your down actually and that's why it says it's one another's not only like we learned initially it's in the source it's one but even when it comes down in reality in this world it looks like it's different it's really still one and because it's really one it's all coming from the same source therefore you shouldn't look negative at anyone else like the explains in that you have to fulfill what it says um A person should not, God forbid, think in your heart negative about someone's else. And when when we do that, we fulfill in a complete way elevating the man that we're we're focusing at the face of which means we're focusing on the primus the internal will of Hashem. So here we learn two teachings. Number one is the first mixture is the fact is we're really all one to begin with and even when we when we don't see it when we see this one's higher and lower etc. Remember it all came from the same place and and and and and even in the division we have to realize it's all one and we were able to do that we will come to what it says at the end of the verse and what does Rashi say who made it what does that mean that so Rash says who the one the person who made it and the med says that through Hashem it happened by itself so you can say what does that mean that first there has to be which is called inab which means Misha also We need to work on it and we need to realize that we're all one and we need to think positive about other people and then we come to what the medra says which is we know the med is is the secrets of the Torah because we know in in in the in the in the medus most of the secrets of Torah hidden there which is basically referring to the the the internal part on high that we that get that comes down through Hashem um as as a gift from Hashem. So when we do our part know we do it our part then obviously we're going to get the gift from Hashem up to and up to the point that we're going to come to the coming of Mashiau and like says he should come and he should redeem us and he should take us straight to and it should happen. So here you have another beautiful discourse from the Reva and about a powerful lesson that we learned from the monora that we're really really all one and we have to look positive in other people and we look we do our part Ham will come and take us out of gulas. Let's hope and pray that next class will be have a great and blessed week. Shabua to.
