The Blessing from G-D to See with Clarity. A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on this we're going to be learning this week a very beautiful hasidic discourse in the rebbe the rebels said the specific discourse in shabbos parties foreign which was that year the first day of ello in the year 32 years ago so the civic discourse is based on the opening verse in this week's torah portion where torah says see referring to hashem himself are giving to you bracha a blessing etc in the torah which is the hasidic insight into the torah portion from the altareba which whatever calls the sinister part of the hasidic torah portion so the alter explains on this verse of give a look and see that i am giving and he explains the verse as follows when it says referring to me in other words i am who i am not a specific attribute of god but the essence of hashem i'm giving in front of you to you which means basically face to face it's a loving type of gift and i'm giving you what i'm giving you the bracha what is the bracha god's giving you a bracha what's the bracha what's the blessing so the article explains that is that we're able to see and thereby explains what's the difference between seeing and a blessing which you're seeing so there's a blessing which is on the level of idol we accept that's also a beautiful idea we accept god we have relation we accept god but then there's the higher level of brahma we see we're able to see god and godliness and that's what the altar explains the verse i hashem i'm giving you today the blessing that because i myself am giving you this blessing through that because you're getting the blessing straight from me hey you're going to be able to see what does your a mean what does it mean practically you're able to see when you're able to see that hashem is the one that created the world and hashem maintains the world that everything comes from hashem then we have true bitter then we have real acceptance for hashem what type of level of beetle so the after explains the level of beetle of the highest level of intellect you know as we know when it comes to the first level of intake it's the kayak the ability you'll say what is it realizing that everything comes from hashem in other words what the author is explaining to this language is called we accept we are accepting but then there's real when you see that everything is from hashem then you have the ultimate in bitl the ultimate in acceptance which comes from the battle of the highest level of khakham which is the first level in the spirit of saint derisions so remember now ask a very simple question if you give a look two torah portions to go in pasha's verse in the torah which the altar of it in the terry which again we mentioned that is called the citizens of paris torah portion of the week and the on the verse over there where it says hashem abraham of the aries i want to go in and see the good land so the altar explains that moisture banana was asking hashem that he wanted error he wanted this ability to a to see hashem he wanted to be able to give that as a gift to the jewish people it wasn't as he only wanted to go into the land of israel yeah that's one component trapped but really what he wanted he wanted to be able to give the jewish people the gift of rio to be able to see to see god and godliness but unfortunately he wasn't able to affect that said you can't go in and see the land of israel what does that mean he wasn't able to give the jewish people the gift to being able to see hashem riya khmer explained before so what was he able to be um asked hashem that grant the request that he was able to give the ability to the jewish people of shmea we're able to hear godliness which obviously we know is a lower level and that's why moisture banana says the arty israel and now the jewish people shma listen why do you say c because he wasn't able to affect only a level of what of smea of hearing and that's why it says you saw specifically hearing and so that's what impartial two torah portions ago and in last week's torah portion on pashas aka what does it say after this so it says baha'i akev tishmun it'll be because of tishman you're going to hear and use again not the only not because you see but it says specifically again tishman to hear in other words because moisture abandoned was only able to impact the jewish people the ability to hear not necessarily to see hashem the level of shmian not the level of real so based on this job i asked a simple question how could that we should see it wasn't granted only smear impressions eight cabbage says clearly we like egg of tishman only got schmear so how come all of a sudden this week's talk question hey we're able to see where the chains come into place that we went from smear to the level of real and and the author explains clearly that when it says we're a that we're able to see which means practically that if it says we're a in the algebra explains we're able to see so with not only on the level of schmidt on the level of riya and we're able to see god and godliness and like he explains in the torah it means the level of the highest level of bitterness acceptance so how do we go from only being having the ability of shemia to the level of rio so jeff is going to explain this and he says based on what it says that where does urea come from where is the ability that we're able to see god and godliness not only see god in godliness but the level of bitter acceptance on the level of very high level where do we get that from and the author explains in the torah where do we have that from that we can only have not from our avodah not something that we do but that comes as a gift from hashem with from what part of hashem because we know and hashem the sermon is infinite and there's many many levels of concealment so we connect to hashem's emotions intellect thought speech action multiple levels of of of of connection to hashem so where do we get the ability to be able to see riya in other words in order to have the ability to real to be able to see and the level of bitter the ultimate level of acceptance about the most powerful and pure connection that comes in the level of which is not in any way connected to any sign letter a miracle anything nothing only the hashem himself so when you're connecting to the pure hashem himself the essence of hashem then you can reach the level of riya now so based on this ruby explains that this that moisture impartial wanted the jewish people to see error to see the land of israel and he was not able to affect that we should be real it'd only be shmea why because moisture banana was trying insane and the way the god comes down to the world in different levels in the world about silas briya yet syria syria asea then through all the syria kassar bina khasi guru te paris and so on and so forth so another review since he was trying to create the connection we should about to see through his thousands the way god comes down is manifested in the world we're not going to be able to see it and that's why he wasn't able to impact that moisture banana you know anything lower than the level of anoiki the essence of hashem you're not going to have rio why because anything lower than an israeli hashem is limited you're not getting the full infinite hashem you're getting a limited version of hashem so therefore since he was only connecting us to hussein to establish less you know even on the highest levels it's not the level of anointing the only thing moisture remaining was able to gift us with the level of smear hearing not necessarily seeing however in the torah in this week's torah portion it's over here it says that every single person has the level of real seeing why is that because that's coming from the level of anointing and the torah portion says clearly who is giving to us the essence of hashem and when it's coming down from the essence i am who i am once you're coming from there there's no limits there's no limits and since there's no limits so therefore every single jewish person has the power to reach the level of seeing the lacus where does that come from again like the verse says but if there's anything lower than it could be powerful stuff but it's still limited and you'll never get to the level of real and especially though like the verse says i the essence of hashem is giving in other words that hashem is giving a very very special and unique gift a new gift a unique gift and how is hashem giving it so we know the famous rule the talmud that says that when someone gives something you give it with a full eye and you give it a good eye in hebrew it says quran saying when someone gives a gift you give by in yaffa when you're giving a gift you don't just give a half a gift you don't give a gift that's calculated when you're giving your giving so when hashem says so if it's coming from the level of from the essence of hashem who he is and it's nice and hashem is giving a gift with a good eye so obviously there's no limits and if there's no limits guess what we're not just going to have the level of smear we hear hashem we'll reach the level of riya we're about to see god ungodliness and like we said the level of the vital the accept acceptance of allah so based on this we're explaining something very very powerful and revolutionary and it sounds like this what does the verse say give a look we're going as we're reaching the level of your ear we're coming from a noisy the essence of hashem hashem is giving to us with with no nothing holding back he's giving us what's the blessing the blessing is that we could see the blessing is the real what's the word after bracha klala a curse so represents one second whoa hashem is giving the essence of hashem we're able to see god in godliness that's the blessing how do you have the second word right after blessing a curse they don't two don't go together so explains very powerfully and very revolutionary and he says that when it says in this verse klala a curse it god forbid doesn't mean god is giving us a curse not at all even though simple shock that's what it means but rabbi explains what it means is that we have the power to take a curse and transform it that the curse becomes a blessing powerful so when it says over here klala the rabbit says what it means is not god's been a curse we have the power on the contrary we can take a curse and turn it into a blessing so we have hashem is giving us a bracha we see god in godliness and we also see the power and the ability that when we see a curse we transform the curse into a blessing so life is only full of blessings life is only full of seeing god and godliness ah you see a curse guess what we have the power to transform it into a blessing and represent we find the same idea we know for example people supposed to live a good life a righteous life a godly life and sometimes people make mistakes so what happens when someone makes a mistake so we know hashem gave us the biggest gift the gift of chuva to repent and turn to return to hashem so what happens after someone repents but they send in the past tense and the answers we know it's brought down in kabbalah and mysticism that when a person does real tuva when a person does real repentance when a person really returns to hashem so this is doing noise something that you did before that was not good which was not okay that not okay miraculously becomes actually a good thing in other words what you did or what one did in the past which was a terrible sin actually becomes a beautiful mitzvah how it works magic just like bracha the klola hashem gives us the power to see which is the blessing he also gives the power to take a caller curse and turn it into a blessing just like by trouba when a person does real repentance the sin becomes actually a good deed now where do we get the power to do that i mean think about it you can take a a curse and turn it into a blessing and jeff says yes because we get the power from anointing we're connected to hashem self and hashem gives us noise and with a good eye and he gives us the power to take his dinos to take something which is a sin and transform it into a merit into a mitzvah up to the point not only is the merit but zachary it comes from the word of zach which is pure and the irim and it's shiny you can take literally something which is a sin something which is a negative turn it into something positive and not only positive but super positive a shining positive in other words i never explains because it's brought down in the clitora impossible we know unfortunately pasha mcclasey has you know all the harsh uh curses the colors of partial clay site so in partial clay site in the clitoria the altar explains that the curses are actually a revelation of a high level of hassan another like this and the quantitative doctor explains the passion you see kindness but then you then you unfortunately see something which is a curse so you can say this is kindness and this is a curse so the article says no this is kindness and this is actually a very very high level of hased but unfortunately when it comes down to this world the way it gets revealed is that it's a curse but if you look deep into that curse it's actually a higher level than khasa than regular cousins against the recap in the country this kindness but when you see a curse and the concursive they're actually very very high level of kindness that got revealed in an image that looks like it's a curse but really it's a very high level of kindness and the author over there brings in the torah a mind sarah we know that in the talmud you have different discussions but when they bring the story that's powerful because it shows that's that's the reality so the author brings in in the torah a mai sarah the story that happened and it's quoted in the talmud and it's a good idea to look it up it's a long story with a lot of details interacting moyet page number nine the second side of the page and there's a whole story there with someone that the father sent a child to get a blessing and they gave him a whole list of what seemed like terrible curses so he came back to his father he's a dad you sent me for blessings they gave me a whole list of curses and his promises can you please tell me what the cur what the curse is what you heard his curses and he started to list one by one and everyone that he listed that on face value sounded like a curse the the his father showed him it was actually a blessing it's a beautiful simple piece of talmud you have a hebrew in english with all the commentaries that explain it so beautifully in other words so the ultimate uses that story to to prove the point that sometimes when you hear something that seems like it's a curse but if you look deeper it's actually a very very powerful blessing and not only a blessing abstract but a blessing in a revealed way so that is where it seems like it's a curse it seems like it's a negative but the truth is really a blessing but i hear that but says even deeper here not only not only do we have the power to see the positive that's buried in the inside no no here's october says that's actually a color it's actually a curse but we have the power to take something which is a curse and transform it into a blessing and that's the power of suva when a person returns to hashem and we know that it says comes hashem is going to inspire tardicon to do truva why because it's all about taking the negative and transforming into something positive so again to recap so there is alter the explaining based on what the altar was saying is what is what says that we have claw in this verse what it means is not god's with god is cursing us but in the country he's giving us giving us the power and the ability that we can take something which is a curse transform it into something positive just like when it comes to true vo where you can take something which is negative and then transforming something positive it's which is even higher and deeper than the example he uses from the talmud and you saw the positive in the negative so really it wasn't even negative we just would look that way but really that's positive here you're saying even deeper where it's actually a curse but you have the power and the ability for minority to transform it now the rabbit goes ahead and he says that this powerful idea that hashem gives us the ability to see and hashem gives the ability to transform a clause a curse into something positive there is going to connect this to the montevello what as we know the the the spiritual service in the monteville is a very very powerful time for spiritual growth so the month of elol is made up of four letters aleph lamed vav lamed which has many many abbreviations one is anee la doidi but which means i am to my beloved and my beloved is to me what does that mean practically what does that mean in our spiritual connection to hashem so what it means is anil adaidi i am doing my work to reach out to hashem to become closer to hashem but doyidi lee and then hashem shows me back tremendous kindness accelerate in the words of kabbalah i'm doing my work right and and with doing later hashem goes and shows us inspires us and shows us tremendous hassle and kindness so everybody asks a simple question we know it's brought down in the talmud and it sounds like this that when hashem asks us to do something whether it's a mitzvah or to stay away from an abeyra any time our son gives us a mission so it says hashem loves us he would never give us something that we can't do so when you have a tremendous struggle the talmud relaxes you say relax rest assured know one thing for sure when hashem asks you to do something he only asks you something you can do if you can't do it he wouldn't ask you to do it now what does that mean to me before we even get a mitzvah from hashem or before we get a prohibition something not to do before we get an assignment from hashem he gives us the power to do it it might be hard it might be difficult but guess what you have the power to do it because otherwise if someone wouldn't give you the hashem wouldn't give you a command to do you can't do it think about a parent the parent would never want the child to give an assignment a child a child can't do so you give one child couldn't do and always you like you're trying to push them to encourage them to do more but you give them within reason within limits which age-appropriate of whatever is appropriate to that trial et cetera what does that mean practically so it's brought down in many places in cedus that any time there's work that we need to do which is called the serus so we need to have beforehand the power and the ability to do it for hashem so the way it works is before we do anything there's always a gift from the which means the power and the ability to do what we have to do then we do our work so in other words it's always comes first no one can go ahead and do something without hashem without permission without some power and energy so there's always hashem first we're always second we come after hashem gives us the ability to do it means that we're doing it after hashem gave us the ability to do it so we so roosted the layla always comes first comes afterwards so based on this or ask the question what do we just say what is the avoidance what is the spiritual work of anila di i am to my beloved that means i'm going to do my work and hashem is going to work afterwards give me a tremendous gift and present and all the powerful gifts the reality is what we just learned in other words anemone in order for me to do his little tattoo or more for me to do it i need to do my work i must do it first so if that's the case why does it say i need a w delete it should be doing believe i need lawyer it should be first hashem gives me the power to do what i have to do and then i need led so based on we learned before the ever explains beautifully like this this that we're saying is a rooster on top that comes first anila deity comes first that when you're thinking about histologists when you think in a finite in a finite way of thinking in other words if our eyes are closed and we don't see hashem and godliness what do we think how do we have the power to do things what do you mean i did it i'm gonna do it when our eyes are closed and we don't see the real power of hashem we only hear as hashem out there what happens we think we can do it so when it comes to say the histories and we don't see hashem what happens then is then it's oh i'm going to put the work and i'm going to put the effort i'm going to do my part and then our son gives me wow you did a great job we forget because we don't see not because god people are bad we just don't see it so we believe that we're doing we're we're doing it first so when you deal with say the histories which means when you look at it like hey i'm doing my work you're going to say i need a daily video to leave and you're right that's why we say el was an illa because we think that we're doing our video but the truth is when you think about it and really who's the one that created the world who is the one that maintained the world who gives us the ability to do what we have to do hashem so if you go out of the box for a second and you think so to speak la maileme estaslas you think that really everything is coming further from hashem so anila doidi this don't think this is an idiot first you know that the way i can do i need la doidi if you have the vision if you have heria if you're able to see it you know the only reason why i'm able to do a nila deity is only one reason one reason only it's coming from it's coming from the hashem who he is which is higher than his thousands higher than the it's even higher than he is like a description of hashem i am to my beloved in australis we can say i am beloved as me and as a beloved with somehow a relationship but when you think about annoying the infinite hashem then guess what everything doing even comes from hashem where do we get that in the month how do we have that that the power to even do our needle that comes from another and our son gives it to us how do we have the ability to do anila the idea because i know the infinite god gave us the ability that we can do it and he gave it to us noise with it with a with a good heart and a good eye and he gave us an abundance and because we have the strength and the ability from another mission then we can go ahead we can do our system tattoo we can do our work that can draw down a heart even a higher level of social layla which is basically the lead now what happens when we when we when we have our eyes open so we realize that even though again it's just like it's really inspired from from from himself so then we draw down through our system we draw down is layla from from a higher level but then we even draw down from a higher level of asus higher level from hashem which is higher than that what's going to draw down through our avoidance so it looks like this there's something which is called it's a russo tata which means we do our work and then we draw down from high walla but then when we take for a moment and we stop we think really am i being able to draw down from on high the fact that i have the ability to do anything is coming from hashem so what then you're connecting yourself to another and then you do your work because hashem wants us to do our work not because we have the power then what happens is you draw down from the higher levels of israela because you're drawing now from you're connecting to the deepest level and represents brings on the story that says that where does hashem dwell hashem dwells in a place which is totally complete what it means what does it mean when a place was totally uh complete a complete means that it's that it's coming from a place not that we're creating the reality because we're creating it how complete could it be we're finite but when we are accepting and we see the infinite light of hashem then we do our avodah which is inspired from the anointing and then we draw down from the higher level of issues of a higher level of hashem that creates the complete image because if we believe that we're starting the process that's not complete we're coming in the middle complete means we recognize the real power comes from hashem we do our part as a vessel of hashem it was real with acceptance then we draw in from the most powerful part of that we have the complete the complete vessel where it's coming from hashem we act as a humble vessel in between and we draw in the greatest blessings from hashem and then we're able to draw in from a level which is even higher than a level which we can draw based on our energy so in other words you see from the specific discourse a very very powerful discourse is that in this week's torah portion hashem shows us how a we can reach the highest level of being able to see god in godliness through the bittle the acceptance of and by realizing and meditating everything comes from the infinite part of hashem which is not limited to any calculation and level that we can relate to and that will give us the greatest blessing the blessing which is ultimately of being able to see with acceptance the blessing that will have the ability to take anything which god forbid is a curse and transform it into something positive and the blessing of having the real experience of a choir elo where we know that the the ability that we have to do anila dodi which is to pray and to study and to do mitzvahs it's all coming from anointing and we act as a humble servant for hashem then vidoyli we actually reach a very very powerful and much deeper place and that creates the asar slim the complete place where hashem is dwells and hashem rests and obviously hashem is part of our lives in the atar slim it's the best possible life that we can have so let's open pray we're entering now into heidi's elo will all prepare ourselves spiritually to connect to the anointing and we'll all have the power the greatest power and gift to a to see to see from a level of acceptance of and will all merit to the greatest blessings and hopefully our next class will be in your shalian iraqi and we'll see the revelation of mashiach speedily in our days have a great and blessed week shabua tov
