Spiritual First Fruits והי׳ כי תבוא אל הארץ אשר ה׳ גו׳ A Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class Uncle this we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reba the name of the discourse is called and whoever said this this course which was the 18th day of the month of el in the year toshin mengimo 40 years ago so again the discourse is based on the verse where it says when you're going to enter into the land of God your God is giving you and you're going to inherit the land you're going to dwell on the land and the Torah says what should you do you have to bring the first of your fruits that were commanded to bring when we come into the land of Israel Trevor says one second what is the connection of the Mitzvah bringing the first fruits or specifically when you come into the land of Israel not only that adds because we know it says natal mood and Rashi actually brings us down in his commentary that the obligation to bring the first fruits was only after they they they uh conquered the land and divide it up the land and We Know It took seven years to conquer the land and seven years to divide up the land so why is the Torah saying when you come into the land you're going to bring the first fruits they have to conquer the land they have to divide the land it's a 14-year process also based on what it says in this the safri it says the safri says well how you mean is right away in other words the obligation of the Mitzvah is right when they come into the land of Israel so the fact is it's not right away because you have to first you have to bring the the the the the the the first fruits um to the place hashan chose and in order to do that you have to build a mission so it can't be right away means right away how can I be right away and not only that Robert says seemingly there are certain mitzvotes that that apply before the mitsubishore right when they came into the land of Israel say for example the Mitzvah when you make a door you have to think of color so the that obligations right when you come into the land of Israel and not only that some people say that let's say you had a piece of dough that you brought in from outside the land of Israel so when you bring it in you have to take off Hollow right away and on a literal level the fact is the Mitzvah of hollow there's um you need you you need to take off the khawa in order to make the rest of the dough permissible to eat so that's something you have to do right away not like the Mitzvah bikurim that our job is to bring it what to bring it to bring it to the place Hashem chose so if that's the case why is a Taurus say specifically that right when you come into the land you're obligated to bring the current so therefore the river says You must say that there must be some kind of spiritual idea taking place there you know there must be an idea a spiritual idea bringing the first fruits which this is connected with coming into the land of Israel there's something spiritual going on now so therefore even at a time that they were not yet physically obligated to bring them according but on the spiritual level that exists is obviously yes and a practical you can say you can bring it right away but obviously the Taurus has to bring it right away there must be something spiritual going on so the question is what is the spiritual idea going on that you have to do this right away should ever says we'll understand this page when it says in the medrish that moisture albino saw in um in divine inspiration he saw that unfortunately one day the base of mgosh the temple is going to be destroyed and when you're going to the Temple's gonna be destroyed so you're not gonna have a place to bring the first fruits you're not going to have a place to bring the bakurim so he went ahead and he established moisture when you established that we so pray three times a day in other words that the Victorian that we would normally bring so what's the spiritual replacement for the record room that is prayer so the fact that we prayed today three times a day chakras that is in place of the decorum and as we know in general hazal tell us that the prayers are in a place of the sacrifices but more specifically what sacrifice it's in place of the bakurim the first fruits that we brought to the temple now what does that mean the verb explains like this never explains based on a powerful teaching of the son of Sadiq who's the third in his classical Works called and he says like this when it comes to bringing the bikurian the first fruits there's two things one is you have to separate the first fruits and then you have to bring it and then you when you bring it you have to read the section of the Torah what you're supposed to read when you bring the first fruits like it says clearly tells you what to say now the difference between these two components in other words bringing the first fruits what is that you're you're separating and you're bringing it what is that called that's called and spiritual level it's called we're doing the work we're elevating the first fruits on high in other words you're taking the first fruits and you're elevating it where to replace ashram chose now that's first part elevating it from the physical into the spiritual when you read what it says not Torah the Torah portion you have to read when you bring the requirement that's called You're drawing down milamato you're bringing all these powerful blessings you're reading and you're bringing it down into the world in other words what's the whole idea of reading these verses because you're basically making a proclamation about the great kindness of Hashem and that ones who are slaves and Hashem did tremendous kindness on us and you have to actually say it out loud I'm here today to make a proclamation to thank you Hashem so you see there's two components in the bikorium one is elevating by bringing it on on high and the second thing is bringing down the energy of making the blessings So based on this River explains now we'll see why that prayers are in the place of the recording the first fruits void because in prayer you have these two components why because we know prayer is like a ladder that's sitting on the ground and the top is in heaven in other words that through when a person prays that the prayers go on high so prayer is what elevating things on high and then through the prayer what happens is all the prayers bring down the powerful blessing down into this world this world to fulfill the prayers that we have so in other words us to recap but never say it like this because of these two components to the corn one hand you're elevating it and the other hand You're Bringing Down the blessings prayer is the same idea you're elevating and then you're bringing down the results of the prayer based on this what I was going to say is we can understand another idea because we know when it comes to the first fruits it says you have to bring it from the first of the fruit of the land in other words when you send the first it's not only quantitatively but the best the best you have to bring and like the ram them writes that we learn it out where it says all the fattiest Parts the choice Parts you have to bring to Hashem in other words anything that you're bringing to college any gift you're giving to Hashem has to be from the good and from the best so the same applies what with prayer and basically on both levels and it was just like the fruit has to be the best so the same thing also when it comes to prayer has to be the best wasn't me has to be the best because when it comes to prayer when someone prays it's not your your mind your your your body your feelings it's from your soul your soul is talking about Hashem and like we see when a person prays you meditate and in front of who are you standing and this brings that your prayer should be a a powerful beautiful prayer so prayer is what to bring in the best your soul and creating meditation you're connecting to the highest level so you're elevating yourself and the same thing also you're bringing down through prayer on the highest level boy because what happens when you pray and you turn to Hashem for for a gift and you pray from the from the essence of your soul you're elevating yourself you become elevated but then Hashem gives you the huge gift and we know when someone gives you a gift he gives the best gift like whoever says he gives you from hashem's hand the full hand the Open Hand The Holy Hand and the and the an instrument abundance so those are four levels of of gifting there are some gifts from and also seeing why it's important the full hand the Open Hand The Holy Hand and the abundance hand and this comes through the youth Cave of Hashem and the person is explained elsewhere that these four components of Hamlet the full the open the holy the abundance each one is connected to one of the letters of hashem's name in other words from the Youth of hashem's name and then to Darling and the hey a good hey and above hay um comes down these four levels and it means it not only it comes out from these four levels but it actually goes down because we know the four letters of hashem's name is connecting to Ideal but which is the blessings come down through all the worlds to this world and it also goes through um the the three levels of thought speech and action up until it comes down to thought speech and action a little literal level of the person serving Hashem so again to Recaps remember saying is just like when it comes to the Quran it and has to be given from from the from the best parts and then the prayers are from the best part the same thing also we pray to Hashem we're giving from ourselves the best part our soul is connecting Hashem but then the blessings are the huge blessing that come from Hashem from the highest levels and it comes down from matsilos Bree it's a thought speech and action and like all the four letters of hashem's name and that's why it says when you come into the land of Israel and you come to the land or some gave you and you can inherit the land and whoever brings the the powerful teaching of al-shamtov on the verse where it says you're going to come to the land so land heirs means land that's a little translation but arids also comes from the from the from the from the word which it's it's pleasing also from the from the expression what of rozzling that it wants to do the will of Hashem so pleasing it's pleasing it comes down below and say means what you're elevating you want to do the willow sham that's that's elevating the world but this afterwards comes down in a way where it's the in a way where it's in his where it's basically internalized you you dwell in the land until it comes light into the vessel and like he says you should put it into a basket which referring to what vessels that we know that um the turn Tory uses for the basket it said there's something you swear about 10 now that's the term it uses now 10 is made up of three letters Tess noon aleph antenna stands for the test stands for Tommy and the and the noon stands for the kudot and the owl stands for the oyster is because when you read the Torah there's three components that we letter you have the letter you have the vowels and then you have the notes so you have to put it into everyone the these components which basically means you're bringing it down from the highest levels down into what into the vessel all three levels of the of the actual letter and the notes and the the vowels I gotta finish off and he says like this would be the will of Hashem that this will bring the greatest blessing that what's the greatest blessing when the promise is going to be fulfilled that we're going to come to the land of Israel in a literal sense and when is that going to happen mashiach comes and the righteous Messiah it's going to come and he's going to redeem us and he's going to take us to Aries and it's going to happen in our generation especially based on the fact that we do the Mitzvahs which are corresponding to the recording which is basically prayer and in reference to the equivalent cells do this Mitzvah so that you should go into the land of Israel and like like it's explained in the Supreme it's going to happen this could you should come right away into the land like the Roman writes clearly which is almost according to the Jewish law that Hashem promised that eventually every single do is Jew is going to do chuva everyone's going to return to Hashem and when everyone returns to Hashem we're all going to be redeemed we're going to literally be redeemed leaned and based on and especially according to Jewish law um codified the Jewish law and when we have the completion of Torah the completion of the Jewish people completion of lamb of Israel and we're going to be able to bring the bicorium in the Third Temple the the temple that Hashem created with his own hands and it's going to happen so here we have another beautiful so the discourse of the river about the Practical teaching of the bikurim which is connected to our prayers we have the power to pray Elevate ourselves with our soul Hashem will give us the greatest blessings from all levels and all and all from from the immense abundance of Hashem to each and every one of us literally down here in this materialistic physical world like Gerber says ultimate will have the the blessing of mashiach coming and with that we will have our next class God willing in your shalayim era have a great and blessed week
