Shabbas Rest & Relaxation Every Day כי תבואו אל הארץ New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's class on we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the rebba the name of discourse is called when you're going to go into the land the that year was the 15 day of the month of in the year 38 years ago so again the discourse is based in the verse in this week's tah portion it says when you're going to go into the land that I'm going to give to you and the land is going to rest aab for then it says six years you're going to work your field six years you're going to go ahead and work your Vineyard it's known the different points that are brought out in different discourses and especially in the discourse of the MIT which was recently published obviously when said this discourse and he ask a question we have to understand what does it say when you're going to go into the land of Israel what does that mean that literally when you go into the land of Israel right away it's going to be shabas what do you mean but how's it possible that right away you have the seventh year shabas means the seventh how do you have the seventh year if you don't have first the six years like the verse says six years you're going to go ahead and work the land and work the work the The Vineyard then you have the seventh year so what does it mean that right away you're going to have shabas that's question number one also we have to understand what does it say the land is going to rest now we know that resting when do you rest you rest from work you have to work you do work and then you rest so how does it say the land is going to rest but it didn't say first what what any work done in the land it should have first said when you come into the land you're going to work the land for 6 years and then you're going to rest the land also D says like to he'd like to add in terms of like a a side point that when the Jewish people went into the to the land of Israel the first time in the days of Joshua so besides the fact they had to wait um six years to have the the the shm year but even before that the um it took seven years to Conquering the land and seven years to dividing up the land and only after the seven years of conquering and the seven years dividing it's already 14 years then they started the six years of of working the land and then you had the seventh year so you talking about 20 years so if that's the case what does it mean when you come into the land right away it's going to be shabas it was 20 years later and says the point of the explanation is as follows there's a there's a cabalistic terminology that says what does that mean that the the end is wedged in the beginning and the beginning in the end what does that mean practically that the end of something is already in the initial initial first plan and that's why that's because that the end is in the in the initial dream in the initial plan and that's why the verse says when you come into the land you're going to rest know even though we had it said it happens many years later you have to for six years and you have to have to work and you need to have dividing the land but right even though it happened lat but never right when they came into the land so not on the end yes the resting end is right away in the beginning which is what that's the general idea what does that mean it explains and and so that's one point so the end is already in the beginning and the same thing is the opposite that the beginning is also wedged in the end in other words that right in the beginning anything which is the intent and the purpose that that of of of the the thing you're going to do you already started in the beginning so even though it doesn't happen till the end but the intent you start in the beginning and know words even though the the Fulfillment of the intent happens at the end and that's why the verse says when you come into the land right away you start resting and it's right when you come in in the thought even before the action which is which is Ultimate which is the in the intent and the purpose you already have the end here and what's the end goal the end goal is right when you come in there should be V they should the line should rest and so so a you were saying is that what whatever whatever is the end you have at the beginning and whatever's in the beginning is ready is is the is the goal of the end and this happens not only in the beginning and the end it actually affects the whole process in between up to the point that the end gets revealed the intent that you had in the beginning that the ultimate goal is that the land should should rest now obviously that's on a physical level but we know that this whole Torah portion is referring to our service of hem and we know the ultimate purpose of serving hem what's the ultimate purpose of serving hem so it should be sh the land should rest in other words the ultimate goal is of the all the of whatever we're going through is the ultimate goal is I'll say it in Hebrew we should have that we should come to the day when every day is shabas every day is a day of rest an everlasting day of rest now how does that happen it happens by our spiritual work in between from when created the world until the end when we're ultimately going to have that day our our spiritual work is in the the the 6,000 year years of the world and and during that time we we're supposed to um go ahead and work the land and and work the vineyard Etc even in the middle you have to have that level why why is that never explains like this what is a field and what is a Vineyard spiritually so a field and a Vineyard talks about spiritually are two different ways of serving hem what is field that a field that's where where weat grows and that's where you have your your bread comes from like it says clearly many from the earth comes out your bread know the wheat and you make into bread so now bread that comes from the soda from the earth that you need you can't live without without without bread however when it comes to the vineyard what grows in a Vineyard you have grapes and you have oil and those items uh grapes and oil or olives grapes wine olives and oil that is all pleasure it know it's not a necessity it adds it's good taste good smell good drink Etc and let's explain many places in a beautiful Insight when we say the grace after meals what do we say means the things that you that you that youa everything so we're thanking for things that we were lacking and things that he gave to give us life so it's explaining things that we're lacking what are we lacking it's talking about things that we need to survive if we don't have bread we're lacking and we're going to have a big problem and to give us life is not things that we lacking things that gives us energy and that's referring to the idea of of Pleasures powerful Insight in the blessing of Bur to recaping things that we're lacking which means things that we need like bread and is things that we have for enjoyment what does that mean spiritually what what's the connection with things that we need and things are enjoyment that's connected to the two ideas of what of learning and doing Mitzvah why because generally speaking when a person does a does a Mitzvah and included in the Mitzvah you know one the Mitzvah is to learn T So Mitzvah is something which is a necessity you have to do everyone the mitz the positive ones and refrain from transgressing the negative ones however when it comes to learning toy in other words toyra is all about pleasure and again there are certain parts of learning to you have to learn to know what to do that and and and that and that goes in the category of learning to know what to do that's part of like to of a Mitzvah but then there's learning to for the enjoyment you sit and you learn terance it's very very enjoyable the same thing also on on a on a detailed level and you have it in doing a Mitzvah and itself in other words doing a Mitzvah is you have you have to do the Mitzvah and then in the Mitzvah itself there the there's the technical part okay you do whatever you have to do and then there's the part where you beautify mitzvah for example you need a little of an so you have a little of an that's the Mitzvah you get a nicer one that's ready the enjoyment of the Mitzvah P you need wine you need mat so you need wine that's the physical part you get better matah better wine that's the enjoyment of it so you see you have both components in the MIT itself the basic part and the upgrade part and the same thing also when it comes to learning T to learn when you learn T to know what to do so that that's that's a necessity how you how you know the Mitzvah if you don't learn T and then you have and that and as we know the learning to is one of one of the the 248 positive Commandments but then you have learning toyra like expression you're learning to to to expand in Torah and to Adorn the Torah Etc like it says learn and you'll get reward for it and the idea of the fact that is the intellect of which is pleasure and that's why it says for six years you should work the field and for six years you should go ahead and work the vineyard so this is and so and the T says the field before the vineyard why because it's specific because first you have to do things that you're obligated to do which is basically either learning T before I mean doing MIT before learning t or doing the technical part of before you do the upgrade in the mitv or doing the learning the T to know what to do before you do learning T just for the enjoyment of it and and and then afterwards you go to the next level and then what happens after you do the avoid for the six years of things that you're that you're supposed to with the mitvah and then the Torah then you come to the level of the the the land rest forem in other words after you do the complete spiritual service you come to the ultimate purpose and the ultimate purpose is what does that mean to the day the day where it's total shabas and total rest and and here we say that what does that mean that right in the beginning before you doing the of learning the and doing the so what does it say right in the beginning you have to know that the ultimate goal from the beginning is to have the the relaxation yeah you go through the work in middle but remember from the beginning but now was going to say even deeper he says possibly you can say even deeper that the idea of that of of bringing the end in the beginning in other words if you learn literally without getting too involved so you see there's two ideas over here you have have the beginning the intent before the action those the intent in the beginning and then you have the action then you have and then you have the end and then you have at the end where the thing gets finished so generally speaking you have the intent you have the action and then you have then you have then you have the end and know what's in the beginning in the beginning is only the intent and the will how it should be and at the end you finish you finish a job and like it's explained in in in in in the different discourses of rash and about the intention for the creation that the revelation of the enjoyment that hasm has for creation when does that happen it happens at the end he has he he have to create the world but not going to go say now a step deeper not only that the intent is in the beginning the intent the action and the of the end but now is the intent in the beginning but even the the ultimate purpose and the the essence of the rest is also in the beginning and that's why it says not what does it mean no that that he ussh expression explain it's or it's it's it's already put in it's already in place in the beginning what's in the beginning the end and the purpose is already there in the beginning and know right in the beginning we have the end of the action in the beginning and since the end of the ultimate end of the of the of the sh the the the day of of of of of uh uh resting and and calm and peace is already in the beginning so it's because it's in the beginning it's obviously it's it's it's in the whole process so therefore in every part in the beginning in the middle and in the end you have the ultimate purpose which comes actually at the end and he like to explain this based on what it's explained in the discourse of rash so it says like this that um and when it speaks of the intent of hm creating the world so what does it say created the world say so the expression is I'll say it in Hebrew I'll translate had a desire to make a mean he wanted to make a world where God was concealed and he had a desire that he should dwell there now so what does that mean God has a desire to to to to create a dwelling in this physical world and this desire comes down through all the levels of creation from ailla bre and all the ETC and that desire is it's not just at the end when it happens but the desire that has in the beginning of the ultimate process desire is there through the whole process and because the desire is there that's why we don't give up because we know that hashem's desire is right here and our goal is that that that pleasure should be revealed and this desire even though again it comes out at the end but it's felt throughout the whole process so the same thing also you can say that since the end is in the beginning so therefore it's in the beginning and it's in everything in the middle and that's what what it means when it says not the end is in the beginning that literally the end part is actually in the beginning and throughout the whole the whole process so basically says beautifully he says now we're going to stand in our spiritual service of hem that when a person is serving Hashem in all his areas throughout the six years of doing the things that you have to do which is the mitv or or learning as a Mitzvah to know what to do and doing the things of pleasure of forem so what you what has to be felt throughout the whole process you have to feel through the whole process that it's all about shabas you have to feel the end and then what happens is when you doing it you're the the end is already there and like it it says in reference to sh the famous teacher shamay that all his days he would eat for shabas shabas is the only one which once a week how do you eat on Sunday and Monday for shabas because we he go to the store and he'd find he'd find an animal oh this is the shabas and when he found something better he say this is the shabas in other words even that means every single day of the week his head was on shabas and since our spiritual work is complete so obviously during the week we've always find something something something something good and something appropriate and we say this for shabas so therefore the all everything the whole week is for shabas and there this is basically the general our general work and our spiritual service throughout the 6,000 years of Gus that we as we know that all the revelations of the future like Al classical teaching of the AL all the revelations of future mhia comes is all dependent on our work and gas and our spiritual work is in a way of six um for for six years we we work we work the land which is referring to doing the mitz and six year we do the vineyard which is referring to learning T but in a way that literally in the beginning you already have the end and the end what's the ultimate what's the end the end is all about the land should rest for hasem which is basically going to happen in the seventh Millennium the day that's going to be a all shabas every day is going to be shabas every day is going to be calm and peaceful and but the point I was making is we already have it today we have it now he says should be the will of hem that we should come to a greater Revelation in reality that by doing our work in galus will come very very soon to the true and complete Redemption up to the greatest completion of it to the day of the day when it's totally shabas and a total day of rest and an everlasting day of rest here such a beautiful discourse and a powerful lesson that even though yes we're all looking forward to the future but guess what the future is right now right here in the in the work we can experience let's hope and pray as we as we we focus on making today says we have the true and complete Redemption with the coming of mhia and next class will bees have a great and blessed week sh
