Self Sacrifice Every Day. ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל גו A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the the name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse and that year was also right before in the year 37 years ago so again the discourse is based on the verse in this week Torah portion where it says says I'm going to be Sanctified amongst the Jewish people every it's known the discourses on this on this verse specifically from which is the classical discourses from the AL which we call the Torah portion and also the discourses from the and also the discourses from the the third in his classical Works called the book of explaining the and also the after the Al and another words what do they explain besides the fact that from this verse we learn the Commandment of going on kesem self-sacrifice for hem but also it says in the Z that this command commandment is to to sanctify hasem every day and know every single day we have to go on self- sacrifice so how do you go on self-sacrifice every day so it explains we do it by saying our prayers and we say afterwards so we say those two prayer every day and as an introduction to to and later on so that's how according to isah fill the Commandment of going on every day and it's explained theic discourses what the what tell us in in the tal TR that there are three groups of angels that every single day they Praise of hem one says once another one sayses twice and the third one says three times that's what it says in theal and it's explained Al explains that these three levels are the are are the the the the three levels of the Angels say and they explains it on a spiritual level one is elevating the world one is the bringing it down and the other one is going on and again the author explains that length um the the the spiritual significance what it says in the Talon about the three different levels of the Angels okay says but nevertheless in this in this EXP explanation there's actually two different types of explanations that explain the discourses and we don't actually pay attention to it and we mentioned many many times that simple things people don't pay attention to the simplic Simplicity of life in other words if you look at the talud in tra where it says that there's three three groups of angels that one sayses and the other one says twice and the other one says three three times K show it's the same word one is saying it once one is saying it twice one is saying it three times but if you look in the in the in theic discourse the way he explains the different levels it's actually referring to not just and the same word saying it once twice or three times but it's a different level of K like we explained Al say one of the first one is elevating the elevating the world the other one is bringing light into the world other one's so we have to understand the difference between these two ideas we either just quantitatively adding to K same idea or it's three different types of serving hasem explains he says as follows it's brought down the discourses that what is the first level of kades it's referring to the the the level of self- sacrifice what is what type of self sacrifice the union of and aim which we know is so that's the first level the first level of self sacrifices we know kma is on one side Bina is on the other side when you unite andina that's s sacrifice for and for that's the firstes what is the second is referring to learning learning is also a level of self-sacrifice and the third level of Kes is referring to our Mitzvah our physical mitv and the then these three levels of the Union of learning and doing those are the three pillars that the world stands on which is learning T um um charity which is all the mitv and prayer so in other words so based on this it's literally every Kad has its own thing and its own place everything has its own its own identity and like we see literally because we know clearly there's a time for prayer and there a time for Torah study and the time for doing mitv and the time for for for dealing with worldly a fears so you see everything has its own place and like it's brought down in the in the talmud Jerusalem talmud in reference to that he was someone that always learned T he was dedicated to learning T and he actually had to stop to go ahead and to to to build a Suka and to to to to to to shake the little so what what do you see that that t is its own world and he stopped to do a different world of doing mitz and he had to literally pause from from from a world that he's in so you see that prayer is One World Torah is another world and mitah is another world you can say the reason on on a on in a spiritual level that even though he stopped to do a Mitzvah he still called somebody that he he his whole occupation was learning T why because his learning toyra never really stopped I he stopped to do a Mitzvah because his learning tah continued even while he was doing the Mitzvah in other words the T never ended by him so even though he paused and he took a break but T was penetrating through his experience of doing the Mitzvah that's in reference there's the same also we find to reference of Yehuda where it says in in in the mission talmud that he would pray only once in 30 days in other words so what does that mean he didn't pray no because his prayer wasn't a way that that that for the 30 days that he wasn't praying the prayer was was was taking place even though he technically wasn't praying at that moment in other words not only the effect of the prayer but L the prayer was was happening even while he wasn't praying where do we find this like it's like it's brought down there a practical example that for example it says that on P we don't make a a Shu which is the blessing that we say when something new happens a whole P why don't we make a every day because the from the beginning of the that lasts the whole so just like from the beginning last the whole y the same also his prayer once in 30 days last the Whole 30 days but nevertheless what what do we see from here that's two different worlds in other words there's the world of T and there's the world of action and like we see like the case of rashbi he was he was learning tah and he had to stop to do a Mitzvah or like from from the story from from Yehuda where he was basically he prayed and then he stopped to do a Mitzvah and you see it's two different two different Spiritual Works and two different times and two different energies and just like for example the example the gave in the holiday of PES even though the blessing of Shu um it you do it in the beginning but it last a whole PES so you see that it has an effect in everything you're doing the whole PES and eating the mat Etc so other words what the point I was trying to bring out from here that what did we learn before that one is one is learning to one one is doing MIT one is praying so you see that everyone is its own Kad it's it's Unique it's it's separate but this that we say that there that one group of angels said says one's one seted twice and one one seted three times so what do we see that that that that that's it's combining it all together and they're all happening at once so on one hand we're saying is that they're each separate and the other hand the other hand was saying no it's all one based on the simple meaning for the tal one said once twice three times that they bunched it all together he likeed to connect this with the spiritual work of the when discourse the next day was was the and he says it's known the explanation the author explains that how is it that he kept the mitv in in the cave he was in the cave for all those years how did he keep the mitv in other words he couldn't eat physical mat he didn't have matzah materially now even you're going to say one second he's okay he was in a cave he had no matah so he's uh he he he's someone that's technically exempt he's exempt he doesn't have it how how can he do it but nevertheless that's true let's say somebody's in a situation for whatever reason they're in a far away place and it not intentionally and they they're not around for PES and there's no way for them to matah they really would love to eat matah they want to eat matah but they don't have the matah guess what what do we say we say that enus someone that unfortunately against his will against her will against the person's will they don't have the opportunity to do a Mitzvah so the Torah is fine you're exempt but there's another expression that says command true you're exempt but you can say that you fulfilled drawing in that light you're exempt me say okay fine there's nothing there's no not we're not going to hold it against you but bottom line is you didn't draw in the light so the question is how did how did the rash go without doing Mito how come he he didn't he wasn't able to draw the light in yes he was exempt but he wasn't able to draw the light in so so how do he how so how did he go all these years without doing the mitz and it's explained that yes he did the mitz how do he do the mitz on a spiritual level he did the Mitzvah on a spiritual level and like for that it says that like it's explained it says on a spiritual level that the soul of rash was in the level of the Levan what is the Levan comes from the word where basically it's cleaving to hasem in other words he was able to unify being intellect the two levels of intellect he was able to have the level of of self-sacrifice and therefore because he was in such a high level he unified he was able to fulfill the MIT what on a spiritual level now is one second amazing was a very high level and he fulfilled the MIT on a spiritual level but the question is one second why didn't he fulfill the Mitzvah on a materialistic level why didn't he matah I how he have matzah guess what who took in the rash he was a miracle man he could have made Miracles and he would have had B by him in materialistic World infinite calculations yeah he was in a he was in a cave he was he he had no access to it but he could have made a miracle he matus would have showed up he would had the matah he would had a Suka he would had a lul he would had anything he needed and like for example there brings in the famous story in the prophets that um The Prophet Elijah that he ate and then he then he was going on a trip and he didn't eat for 40 days and the food from from the from the first day lasted him 40 days now how is that possible you can't live without eating for 40 days because it was a miracle and not only that was one Miracle with with Elijah the another miracle is that the Ravens brought him bread and they brought it to him from the house of aov and there was that itself was a miracle that the bread they brought him was specifically even the house of a but it's another whole discussion about about that Miracle Within the miracle but what do you see from the story of Elijah that a he was able to do a miracle and he was able not eat for 40 days or the Ravens brought in the food and especially by the rash we know that there was a miracle in reference to his eating and drinking because we know the fact is there was a miracle there and all of a sudden he had a tree a carab tree and also there was there was a stream of water that came there so guess what he could have had same same way he had a that the tree was there and the water was he could have had all show up and a little show up and for everything that he needed would have showed up now by a side note which is an important note says that that some people say that that stream of water that provided the rash in his cave water um that stream or the the flow of it still exists and the same thing also that tree or a child you know offsho that tree still exists in pan in AR Isel so next time you go to take a trip to pan and look for the stream and look for the carab tree okay so the question then is if that's the case so why didn't Hashem do a miracle for him they should have his mat and and his and all the stuff he needed so say this will understand this Bas on it's explained elsewhere that when a person has to do a Mitzvah a materialistic Mitzvah and I'll say in Hebrew a Mitzvah you have to do materialistic Mitzvah so you have to do it based on a physical nature know you if you have do a spiritual M fine but if you have to do a physical M it has to be done in a physical way and it's known the famous story of the previous rebba that he said about the the the first Alba that when he was in prison and he wanted to go ahead and he wanted to sanctify the moon when he was traveling on the boat um in the river and he did not want and and and the the the the njw that was tra that was uh driving the boat didn't want to stop so what happened was the AL stopped the boat and it was a miracle and then after he stopped it he didn't know K he stopped it and the go the NW saw that Al has the power to stop it then he allowed it to go again and then he asked the Andrew he should stop the boat in his own so the question is asked what do you mean do stopped the boat he should have done K and if he wasn't going to do it so why why he stop the boat but he what did he want and know he wanted no to stop the boat to show him that he can stop the boat and then it went going and then when the njw stopped that's when he did that's when he Sanctified the moon why because when you come to sanctifying the Moon which you have to do it yes what you can't do when the boat is moving which because you basically you're when you're sanctifying the moon you basically accept your your your your you're you're going to to greet Hashem and and because when it comes to doing a Mitzvah you have to do a Mitzvah in a materialistic way it has to be done in a natural materialistic way and that's why the alter wanted specifically the boat should be stopped by by by the captain and that's why the rash even though yes you don't think rash could have pulled in matah he could have pulled in a he P anything he wanted but when you're dealing with the physical MIT of the matah it has to come in a natural physical way food you have to eat it doesn't it's not a Mitzvah to eat you have to eat to survive so that he a miracle for it to drink he needed he needed to drink so he did a miracle for that when it comes to a Mitzvah Mitzvah is not done in a miraculous way he like to connect this with with the of counting because we know that when it comes to bring the the the the the sacrifice so the verse says which means from the place that you're dwelling and it has to be specifically in the place that you're willing like the verse says clearly when you come to the land and you're going to bring the and so was you have to bring it from the place that you have to bring from and up to the point there's actually a question in talm what happens if wheat came from the clouds in other words are they Kosher for the for the bread that that's brought but why because it says from your dwelling and here it came from the cloud in other words now it could have came from the cloud in two ways one is a miracle all of a boom the cloud sends that Des sends down wheat or it it the clouds blew it in from a place outside Israel into Israel and and what do you see from here that that since it has to when you live in it has to come from has to grow in Israel it can't come from a cloud that's bringing it from a miracle or from another place why because it has to come from the physical place you can say that that's the whole idea of SPH counting what does it say in the verse you should count from the day after Shabbat which is referring to day after P first day P you count seven weeks and other words what's the whole purpose of counting the whole purpose of counting is elevating the world and know in cabalistic terms it has to be done in a in a natural way and know one day and another day until you reached you have seven complete weeks so what do you see from here when it comes to doing a Mitzvah it's all about transforming self transforming the the physical world so what do we see from here that the main purpose of serving Hashem is has to be done in a natural way and a physical way and therefore the MIT in the cave wasn't done in in in in a miraculous way and and it was not done in a miraculous way that he had it in a physical level but he still wanted to have the spiritual connection so he did it on a spiritual spiritual level like we said leat that means he connected to hem but to go ahead and do it in the physical way with that obviously that that's not the purpose so basically explains that you can say that by by the by the there was two types of of of of serving Hashem in other words when he was in the cave so then how did he serve hasem all spiritual stuff so therefore because it was all spiritual then you can have all three can be together cuz in spiritual there's no delineation between right left middle higher lower it's spiritual therefore you can have it all three together know you can have learning to you can have prayer you can have mitv all in one part why because in all them it's all about connecting to hem just like for example self sacrifice that even is learning to and is doing MIT in in in the cave was also a level of self sacrifice like he says he connected to in one connection and and that's that's the explanation where it says that that one group says me that saying the same word they're saying it multiple times because on a spiritual level yes the the angels can do it all all together even though this is prayer and this is Torah study and this is mitv when on spiritual level it can all be it all be United however when he left the cave and over there you have to do a Mitzvah and you have to do it in a physical way and you have to learn T and sit down and learn t and has to be done in a physical way materialistic way literally and that's where you have the separation between the time for prayer the time for Torah study and to time for doing MIT so's explaining is that if you're dealing with on a spiritual level yes this T this prayer and this all them together on a spiritual level but when it comes in the physical world there's time to pray and there time to Torah study and there time to do MIT never we finish over he says just like um the way it was by so the same thing also this comes down to every single one of the Jewish people that there that there's a separate time that for each thing there's a time to learn and praying doing but then again on a spiritual level there a time when it's all unified together so there there two different avidas we all have the spiritual part of us that we can do it all together but the physical part that we have to do each one separate and this comes down especially as right before and all the energy ver come down to this world and gets revealed in the physical world and he affects tremendous this blessings and and and uh um blessings and for in the world up up to the point where it's called the day of his celebration of the Raj and when we do our spiritual work in those praying and learning T and doing will come to the Fulfillment what it says in the beginning of the next week Torah portion we're all going to enter the land the land is going to rest to hasem and know we're going to have the six years of working the land and all referring to the great blessings of the land of Israel there should happen not in a spiritual we have the land of Israel but literally shall have the land of Israel theu M quickly in our days but again not in a spiritual but Mish literally in a physical way here we have again another beautiful cic discourse of the rebba and he shows us how one hand yes from a spiritual level Torah prayer SP it's all amazing it's all good but the ultimate goal is to bring it down to this physical world and that's where you need real tah real prayer real MIT and like finishes off the physical part of the land of Israel Mia have a great and blessed week and let's and pray next week's class will bees have a good week
