Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Sec4 Chap 21: 3 reasons to contribute monthly rather than annually

welcome to tonight's tiny class we are so blessed we're learning Tonya we're in the fourth section of time you were in gerotor kodesh we're holding chapter 21 Perico Palace so as I say every week that every single chapter in Tonya because the Bible mysticism its unique its special has a foundation of something new in Kabbalah and mysticism in this chapter the author we discussed is a very important concept and that is when people give contributions or people make donations and make pledges so you make your annual contribution you know it's known the annual contribution so if you make an annual contribution so let's say on the Jewish calendar it starts with history you have a whole year to give it so on you're gonna give it you're gonna give it in the month of L you want to make sure that you gave away you know you give all your end of year and year spiritual contributions are you comments interest rates all paid up for example in the secular calendars will make your pledges and you know the summer ever they say statistically most charities get all the contributions come in because people have fund all the pledges from the year which is very common so the outer is gonna in this chapter gonna make a case on three levels on three levels why it's important when you make a pledge to give the weekly amounts weekly contributions or at least minimally monthly contributions that's the basis of this chapter but the altar was gonna show us in a beautiful way kept ballistically spiritually why it's extremely extremely important to give the contributions again either on a weekly basis or if not weekly at least walk on a monthly basis so the other ins of this chapter in the interesting way it's different that means to letter it's a grist coach a letter so it's Robin is written more like a letter but he starts off and he says he wants to call out to you in peace - law of a schmoyer which is a nique a unique expression and as he's turning and he's addressing people that make annual contributions they're not talking he don't give heed all don't give this not address - but he's talking to the ones that a give and again pass it along adult maybe inspire them to give but specifically he's talking to people here in this letter that give have pledged to charity actually in this case was actually specifically to charity in Israel the people that study Torah through the organization possibly called Habad and the Opera says he calls them lavish money those that made pledges though they made annual commands he calls them ovations money or even it's a very happy title all you have a shrine means they love who smile who is renamed God so these people of God why did you think about your your giving charity you love God and he's pointing Israel so you love God so he classes them or here's one classification as what are you might smoke which is a very very beautiful title so think about every time you can give charity coins to the algebra you love God that's a great get some hands great just for that long it's worth your charity every time you're giving you get the title of you love God I mean loving on it's like it's an official thing it's a great thing but he had yattaman shifts and he says he'd like to reach out to them and tell them why it's important to give charity on a weekly and if not weekly at least a monthly basis and he starts on as follows he says because we know that when anytime you do a mitzvah there's many components to a mitzvah it's the physical illness the spiritual many different components this specific idea the honor on to discuss is about when you do a mitzvah and I'll say the word Hebrew are now translated the Hebrew word is you should do it rhesus you should be as Zoras what does that mean you should do it quickly you know you shouldn't push it off so tomorrow day after you have a Mitzvah you should do it quickly and resource is a very very important component in the Mitzvah the Audrey gives an example famous example we know the who is the first Jew very good you guys pass the test you guys are excellent very good that's what a hundred on the test we can't release it you get your license you sweetheart right you guys pass with that that's wonderful no this it's beautiful you know the answers okay so Abraham was the first Jew first Jew Abraham we know was tested by God with many tests the biggest test what was his biggest test I mean the biggest test so II think you guys know all the stuff oh my gosh like it's hard to teach you guys you know everything to bring up his son to bring up his sons and sacrifice and Hebrew it's called the Aikido that was the tenth the biggest the hardest test and Abram had an effect on this specific quest when he passed this test your God said to him after you Dottie now I know now I know right that you're a faithful servant of mine until I he didn't know but there was something unique and something special and everyone struggles what was so powerful about this test obviously it's bring up a son but the outer explains and sport out of many places in Kabbalah and so are that the power of this test was wasn't so again obviously there K than itself is powerful but was really powerful was that God told bring up your son as a sacrifice he could have said okay tomorrow next week next month I'll put it on my calendar I'll put on my to-do list I'll set a ringer and then you'll push it off you push snooze a little bit right you guys are laughing because you can relate to the stuff right oh exactly what an Abraham do don't know he got up the next morning when not twelve o'clock in the afternoon not ten o'clock early in the morning early the first thing possible the morning by asking I Robin Bob Baker the Torah tells us he got up real early that story tells you got up early he got up early Boyka and not only that yep early what did he do he himself went out but yeah Chloe he himself harness his donkey he himself did it he himself he didn't ask his servant they didn't wait for a servant everyone's sleeping maybe even snoring I don't think they snore then I've no idea it's a new thing they had asked me okay but the point is the point is he got up early he harnessed his own donkey and he was off to do the Mitzvah so brought that on Kabbalah it says that possibly possibly that the most powerful component the missile was wasn't just that he did it which is great in itself was that he got up early he got up early because if you think about Dalbir says think about it on one hand it was a huge risk but how many Jews over the generations over history have gone and self-sacrifice many many it's not like he was the only one that ever did something like this many Jews run in self-sacrifice guards not only that if you want to even look at it from a different perspective Abraham who asked me to bring up as a son as a sacrifice God himself so God came to you and asking you to do something would you do it for sure all the Jews that when in self-sacrifice God never came to and specifically and told him to do it it says in the Torah obviously it is natori but God didn't make a personal appearance God didn't personally show up so in other words whose sacrifice is greater everyone that did it without God showing up or Abram because God showed up we are very good the ones without so in other words Abraham's self sacraments oh great so why do you make such a big deal and we read it every single day in the morning about the akkada because obviously there's something unique about Abraham was that when everyone went in self sacrifice and we're not knocking it you know they did it at the end of the day I'd be happy they weren't ready to do it the first thing in the morning Abraham got up the first thing in the morning that was the power of this yes of Abraham in other words the power of Abraham was then he got up early in the morning and Hebrew it's called Zuri's us not only did he get up early in the morning he actually got up to show other people his joy and his pleasure in serving God and fulfilling that sounds wish so that would inspire other people as well now so therefore some we see from Abraham how important that is what to do something quickly do something quickly so that's the first argument the altar makes that why one should not wait till the end of the year to fulfill your pledge or your commitment start giving it right away so you can be rizal's you can do it right away like Abraham and that will add to you it's all that will add to mitzvot not only that felt little goes further in this first powerful case and he says like this every MIT so that you do quickly is great charity is extremely important why because we know that when someone got from it is sick how can you heal yourself so you can go to a doctor I get that but how do you get healed from the God the ultimate healer by giving charity because you know charity heals people that are sick then I'm feeling well up to a point we know it says Snuka charity capsule another someone cockpit is dying and in a very critical situation charity can turn things around sometimes medicine can't but charity could so so there's a lot of specific thing comes with charity do it right away because not only is it important to do it quickly will actually help you it will heal you you'll start hearing yourself yeah now the doctor says that we know that we're George generally when once a year Hashanah right you Kippur etc but then there's once a month but there is a judgment it takes place every day so for example you imagine today today God is coming to judge you know where's the charity where's a few pennies in the pushka you're gonna stand it no witness I mean we do mixes but if you can put in a few pennies in there put in a push for that day guess what God's call me the judge Oh guess what the person your charity let's give them a pass tomorrow he comes back not a few pennies in the pushka I'll give you another pass so God's coming to judge you every day so make sure to pay pay them feed the meter put some money in God's leader if you don't feed the meter it's not gonna work right it's not gonna work so here is the first major point operas making is why one should give charity when every week if not every month obviously also his preference do it every week and if you see even here he's saying you do it a step further do it every day a little bit why because since God is coming to judge you every day you want to make sure you have money in the first every day so that is the ultimate first argument the first presentation why a person should give charity when always everyday but the specific request is once a week or once a month when you want do every day it's even better okay then the author brings from the Rambam that sounds like this and he says there's a major difference between my sir the action of charity and avoid us at stalker and the work of charity what does that mean the action the action of charity is you give you giving charity what is the uploader what is the work of charity giving it in multiple times and giving it when it's hard for you to give it in other words it's letting you write a check and it's not hard for you to give it that's not a boy this is dummy that's charity but when your should I give it should I not give it's gonna affect my income that can affect my income you have to buy this go on this cruise I mean that go on this vacation it might give enough to be able to write when when you have to start worrying about whether you giving too much that's called I'm worried this at sadaqa so my sad stalkers you've given give me your charity you don't bat an eyelash you give obviously having personal according to the level when you give and you're not batting an eyelash that's called the action of charity what's up voice at stalker to work on yourself to give constantly and give consistently and give when it's hard for you to give why is it important to do not only the my sad stalker the action of giving but also they make it run up hold up where you're constantly giving it and you're giving it every day because think about it it's an easy to write a check once here or to write every single day to give some money to charity what's easier once here you figure out how much money you budget for charity we don't see you whatever you whatever you make you think of 10% okay charity is besides jumping in this charity also but let's say whatever you figure out when you give every single year so you know what want something busy with this once a month once a week I'm just gonna write the check once a year and I'm done I gave my charity for the year and maybe I'll even get more than I give every year so the author of says don't know if you write it once a year you did the action of charity that wasn't the work of charity the work of charity is every single time you have to give the charity we're not talking the amount you never the small bounce what happens is think about it every time you want to give charity who wants to give the charity the godly soul the animal soul wants to give the charity no it wants another pocketbook right another watch it one charity it wants a location maybe another sushi maybe you know the steak I don't know that animal so wants it for himself so every time you want to give even a penny a dollar 18 whatever you whatever the dollar amount is you want to get or ruble or shekel what are you giving this at every time you want to give it a charity know what happens there's a war there's a war consciously or subconsciously team that godly soul the animals soul so if you write the check once a year how many wars did you have over charity one once once a year was sitting down now okay guys we're gonna have we're gonna have it out right you have it out with the guy and it's irrelevant the amount because the point is the fight is a fight so it doesn't make a difference what the dollar amount is but if you're having a fight once a year guess what once a year you're fighting with the Animus all over therefore therefore so but have you transformed your animal soul from one time no but if every single day you say okay guys we're gonna start the fight again the godly soul says we're gonna get some charity animals know who wins always you know the godly soul wins but every time you win you know what happens to the animal soul he becomes weaker and weaker and weaker so the point is a so and and also what becomes stronger the godly soul so every single time you want to give charity the animal godly soul wants to give the animal soul doesn't want to give that's a battle and loop well at the end you gives who becomes stronger the godly soul who becomes weaker the animal soul so if you have to fight once a year what kind of dentin you're making the animal soul what kind of winners for the godly soul one little way one little alright but if you find him every single day and we're not going to sing a few times there but at least one of you won today you say okay here here's charity the analyst all feels defeated the godly soul feels great and you do it day in day out what are you doing doctor versus guess what you are building up the godly soul yes you're you're pushing down the animal soul and the more you do it the more you transforming yourself so based on this second reason in Hebrew is called the Zack akin FS which means to purify the godly soul and to obviously weak in the animal soul if you do it consistently is that what we're saying once a week at least have a good fight once a week at least if not once a month if you want do it every day go for it right go for it why not why not right okay so what you're doing is you're transforming so they don't say don't do it once a year the action of charity I get it you gave the money you can check it off you're less if you do once a year but if you do it consistently and constantly you're going to do it major transformation that is the second reason then the upper comes to third reason he sounds like this there's something we know we learned Kabbalah and we looked at Tonya many many times something which is called ISA Russa delicata ISA Russa delaila that's the Hebrew I'll translate actually cut in aramaic means like this when a person does something amazing down here in this world you know what happens a light bulb goes on in heaven and that light bulb draws down new energy down here so for example let's say you know the mood of doing something praying studying doing a mitzvah giving charity you don't remove it but you break you just fight yourself let me go ahead and do it anyway let me do it anyway what happens God was sleeping on you you forgot about you Google said he wakes up oh this guy I gotta help let me go out and do something nice for him why why did God wake up all of a sudden and the answer is because you woke up so you woke up God and God draws it back down it's called Lisa loose a little Tata when you do something amazing down here it awakens up a powerful energy on top from God and that obviously is a blessing to you what's greater or work your gift of God's gift for short God's gift but in order to waking up God that God should do something for you can just keep on calling god help me help me do something do something nice and God will help you and guess what God will help you much more than you think you're helping the other person it's cuts called a Seussville taco so the author explains and he says think about this when somebody's in need a poor person a charity and they need they don't have you go ahead and what do you do you have something and you give them whether it's time whether it's money whatever the gift is you go give someone something they don't have what do you do simple English you had and you gave someone doesn't have so what did you create you created down here a situation when you had someone didn't have and you gave the person that didn't have you fulfill their vacuum you you filled their empty space so God says whew I got a match that my god matches it's a real matching it's not one for one two for two it's like infinite Commerce's finite and God says I want to draw down to what does that mean practically dr. Salinas we know what's the greatest light go into a little cupola this is a little Kabbalistic so pay attention bear with me you guys you know you guys are pretty good what's the most powerful light what's a coal that he brought saving he won't translate that's most or insights absence means the essence of the infinite light the essence of the infinite light this finite and is infinite so there's the essence of the infinite light that's where it's all that if we can experience a moment of that that's wow now the essence of the infinite light as we learned actually last week in depth right that low in class that essence of the infinite light smiling because you don't want a repeat of last week's our class I'm not doing that don't trust me okay that essence of the infinite light what before it starts making its way down to this finite we're the finite world's where is the place it goes into and from there it starts going down it goes into mal hoot about salute in the highest world at salute which is the highest world which is part club very close eight-cell close to the infinite light so the light goes into the world to wear mal hood so let's see looked now we know mal foots from all the Sphero this Ahmad is being a tad ass these are all great she wrote intellect emotions etc what his mouth was have mouth curse has action work on action what does Michaels have has nothing Marcus has nothing you know what Marcus has what you put in it think about Koffler means wisdom veena Rai understanding - facet kindness kabura right each one knows they have a spear you can define with the sphere is what is mouth closed mouth closed Kabbalah says less loving Greek lemon has nothing in there you know what it has what you put in their mouth host by default there's nothing in there it's an empty vessel what's in there whatever you put in there Kaufman goes in there be no gas right and all the emotions but what happens is when you help something a mirror-image think about it you have something someone has nothing this someone that has nothing is comparable obviously weighed the many different levels but in concept someone that's lacking isn't on the level spiritually of a ball club just like malkos has nothing when someone has nothing that someone is like malkos when you have someone conceptually you have the light to give the person which is like the Axman certain sites when you go ahead and share of yourself to the person who has nothing God says who let me do the same thing so God shares his light into Mount Hood about salute now what happens in mountains of Atul gets all that light it starts coming down into this world it comes down to this world weird as a goal in this world so we know in the time of galoot what single Asst the screener is in Gullah what does that mean the screen is in dollars what does the screen refer to God's presence when you look around you see God and godliness no we see physical things you look behind it and beyond it and you meditate you think you realize how my god stole from God but the Shiina in itself is that in its glory you'll see walk around see oh my gosh the infinite light you see a finite light and God's concealed behind it so what happens is and you go ahead and do something for somebody that has nothing the infinite light goes into Malcolm for the salute from Malcolm X hill that goes down to all the worlds and it starts giving off light to the Sri know which is in Gullah now what happens if you write a check once a year to someone that someone or institution that doesn't have so what you do you did one drawing down light from you to malkhut right so God flicks the switch once and it's it and it goes right but what happens if you constantly and consistently and alters court official request is once a week once a month and then he said if you do it every day it's amazing right so if you constantly give on a consistent basis you give people don't have you don't have much God God is constantly putting the light in tomorrow let's see looked which comes down into the skin of some colors until eventually you know what you're gonna do you will create an experience where the screen is gonna be so full of life you notice when the screen is so full of light of God's guess what the optimal finishes off the magic words I'm Chiara Sheila E till the Messiah comes machetes gonna carve so in other words what the author is saying is we have the power to bring the shock how very simple help someone that's in need not once a year not even once a month and maybe at least once a week maybe even more every day so you just now put light into someone that doesn't have God will put the light into malkinson a salute from there it's gonna go down to the sea no which is in gullets and if God if you keep on doing it God will keep on doing it and then the whole world will be full of the light of God and then mashiac will come so here you see a beautiful chapter that's really really amazing and eye-opening and it shows you how important that is to give charity on a consistent basis and doctor says once a week once a month if you want to do every day it's also great and it shows you on three levels why it's very very important again the first reason is because you do it you should do it too right away and when you do all the trailer it actually will help you because we know that charity helps the second reason is because actually transforms you every time you do it it empowers your godly soul and obviously weakens the animal soul and most importantly God will show is K ballistically that when you give someone a dozen ham you're drawing God's infinite light in tomorrow them and salute from there it goes down to the ghost of kena and if it comes that keeps on coming out enough the screener won't be anyone call us and we will have the revelation of Messiah now
