welcome to our class on this
we're going to be learning this week a
beautiful acidic discourse in the river
the name of the civic discourse is
called the
anoiki
the river said this classified discourse
in shabbos parties for a which was the
25th day of the month above which was
also the sharpest that blessed the month
of ello
in the year tough shin member 36 years
ago so again the city discourse is based
on the verse in this victoria in the
opening verse where torah says
see
that i hashem am giving in front of you
today so there ever said it's known
from the senate discourse
this course is from the from the khabad
rebellion
starting from the altareba in the torah
is classical works in the parsha
the uh also from the middle arabah
his holy books called the discourse of
the mitchell rebel which is which is
actually being printed reprinted now or
nevertheless discourse
and the same thing also from the son of
zedek the third khabad rather in his
books called torah and also the
bad rabbis after the athera but the
mithler and samantha
and amongst those discourses you have
several that actually explain
and give deeper insight to the discourse
of the alternative the torah
and there's other discourse with w
that they give their own insight as well
so jefferson the truth is
even the ones acidic discourse which was
explaining the altar of his clinic
discourse in the and the terrorists also
called on the person that's giving that
teaching why
because since they are so involved in
that teaching
up to the point where they went out
self-sacrifice
um so what happens is when you learn
torah even though it's someone else's
but you you bond with it you connect to
it that torah teaching becomes yours
in other words like it says in kazaal
when a person gives his life over for
torah so that terror that you're
learning even though it's someone else's
teaching it becomes yours you can say
it's yours
not only that
the fact that a person spend time
learning and studying and meditating
using his khabadas
so then it becomes your torah which is a
beautiful insight anytime you learn
whatever you're learning it becomes
yours becomes your torah
why the way you comprehend it with your
with your brain
now
so these are all the sort of this this
course is from the previous survey that
discuss um
the the um this verse
he says you have a few questions the
question is like this
what does the torah say you're a give a
look a
i referring to the essence of hashem
um
saying is giving now the fact is when
you look through the torah what does it
normally say when gashan commands
give a look very very unique i'm giving
you today a blessing that's question
number one
question number two and like it's
brought down the discourses
why does it say over here
in other words
giving to you what's ideal
to your face
like it says in most places ontario
i'm giving to you
also
when the tourists so it says
today
so now what we know generally what any
time the torah says hyoing what does it
mean today
any time it says today it's not just the
day in the past but i joined today the
day becomes an everlasting day and it
applies always
so the fact is why did it say hi young
today which means it's everlasting
specifically like this by by this
instruction
i never like to add and he says as
follows
we know that in general we learned that
when you learn torah but
every day it should be like a brand new
torah like as if you're getting it now
from hashem
so and that's in general anytime you
learn torah so what does it mean hyoim
that it's that it's brand new the whole
tour is brand new every time we learn it
and especially when it's coming to these
the fifth book of the five books of
moses which is called mishra torah
because in the fact is in reference to
all the ideas of mishnah torah it's
referring to that day
and that time period in that space where
it was given like it says in the
beginning of the of the the fifth of the
five books of moses elijah
these are the words that moisture reigns
spoke and it says where did he speak it
the average and the other side of the
jordan the eresamoyev that's where
moisture started teaching teach the
fifth book of the five books of moses so
if that's the case why does it say
i young today like as if today we
already know it's talking about the time
when it moisturized gave the tor the was
teaching the fifth book of five books of
moses
trevor
explains like this
the the main point of the explanation is
like it's brought down the other
discourses as well
that when over here the torah says
what is i referring to
it's referring to specifically
and i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate
it
the essence of hashem
as it's called
i who am i am and others are not known
by a letter by the by the different uh
the dots on top of the letters etcetera
it's referring to the essence of hashem
what is it referring to not a word not a
letter not the the notes on top but the
the the the the different target on top
it's referring to the estimation
now since we're talking about the
essence of hashem again we're not just
being distracted by a letter by a word
by anything else
so therefore we're talking about the
estimation when you're dealing with the
essence you're dealing with a godly
experience a spiritual experience which
is not
a part of hashem which is enclosed in
the world
why
because the whole world household
created
we know it says
by by a minor by a word
by by a part of a letter by a dot of a
letter
now since the essence of hashem
is not limited to a word or a letter etc
[Music]
so how much more so
that
it has no relationship with the world
it's much higher much more powerful
and how much more so is it much more
powerful than the creation of the world
that were created by the very ten
utterances and by the ten utterances a
different um structure of the word
different play in the letters how it's
put together the the um the the gematria
is the numerical value
etcetera
in other words what they're ever saying
like this when it says
referring to the essence of hashem and
when you're dealing with the essence
it's much higher than a part of hashem
which is connected to the world
and that's the power
and that's the novel idea of this this
verse in other words even though we're
dealing with verb
which is much higher than anything to
connect to the world but nevertheless
as high as hashem is
saying
hashem is giving it
literally to the jewish peoples hashem
is bonding from the infinite part of
hashem down with the jewish people
and that's why it says
specifically
it uses the expression giving why
because the talmud teaches us anytime
someone gives no someone that gives they
give with an open heart and they give
from the from a good place in their
heart in other words and
it's so therefore the torah says
saying that hashem is giving from the
goodness of his heart and he's giving
with a good eye why is that hashem
wasn't giving in away from the goodness
of his heart i want a complete heart
so what would happen is it would be
annoying and it would stay on high
because
he doesn't connect to the physical world
how would you draw down to the world but
because it's given in a way of noising
hashem is giving in with a good eye
therefore it's able to go from atsmus
the essence of hashem and come down into
this world
literally into every part of the world
into it
literally to to us living in this
physical world down here
and that's why it says but that's why
over here it does not say that you don't
bear some spoke or or or face the face
of smoke etc while because since it's
coming down from the essence of hashem
which is higher than any
letter or word etc and it's higher even
in the four letters of hashem's name
youth k above k
and how much more so it's even higher
than uh from eloquem so we're dealing
the highest level of god and it comes
down to this world and that's why it
says specifically
not the idea of
hashem so whatever is saying is gonna
hit us to recap we're dealing with the
most
referring the essence of hashem and is
coming down literally what into this
world
so based on this rabbi explains
beautifully why it says
in front in to to to in front of you
versus
which means the general ui
because what does he mean
to you what is it referring to the whole
part of the human being
however the
doesn't mean the whole part of the human
human being legend comes in the word
upon him your face what what does your
face mean it means the internal part of
you in hebrew it's called
your internal part because it's
referring to the essence of the of the
person so if it would say
referring to the whole person
referring to the essence of the person
why and they're explaining to this
generally speaking the torah was given
to the whole per whole human being
the external part of the human being and
the internal part of the human being
torah is given to every part of us
and that's why when it came to mutantary
what does it say
the whole jewish people saw that means
they used their vision to see hashem
and then we also said
everything spoke nasa we're going to do
but this one we're going to hear so a
monetary we saw and we heard
in other words you had the the component
of seeing
you have the component of hearing and
what does that mean practically that the
revelation of god that took place on the
mount sinai we were able to connect to
it in the way of seeing and the way of
hearing as well now seeing and hearing
now there's different levels of seeing
different levels of hearing we're
talking about the seeing and hearing
we're talking about the external part of
scene they physically saw and they
physically heard
now why is that because even though
there's a deeper level of seeing but
since it talks about seeing and hearing
together so just like hearings external
so the seeing that we're talking is also
external here as seeing
what type of seeing is external when you
see something and afterwards you have to
meditate on it because sometimes you see
something you don't have to meditate
it's you're sold but then there's seeing
which is external then you have to
meditate out as well now
and once you what person see they ser
sees and hears on an external level now
you have to go ahead and do the work you
have to learn toyota you do the mitch
voice and we know the main thing we know
is the action and we also know that when
you do it you have to do it as a there's
a certain fashion you have to pray and
you got to study you got to do all the
midfields
you know what does that mean practically
it's referring to the revelation that
took place from mount sinai yes was to
the external part and then through that
we meditated but that's referring to the
revelation of god which is coming down
from one level to the next and when
there's where there's um
there's wolves there's boundaries
there's contractions
and up till the point where the
revelation of god comes down into which
sphere are the lowest fear of malchos
in the world of bree at clco
so that is generally what it talks about
seeing
so when it when so back to the point you
remember saying this one says to you
it's the whole human being what part of
you mean the external part the hearing
the seeing that meditating and then you
do the physical mitch voice but there's
different levels however in this verse
when it says
see it's not talking about external
seeing like we had a mountain
but it's actually talking about a higher
level of seeing
and that's why it says
a whole different level of vision that
the essence of hashem is giving
giving to you so what kind of revelation
are we talking about we talk about the
revelation of the essence of hashem
and that essence of hashem comes with
him into the internal part of the jewish
people and that's why it says
specifically
because we're talking about a receiving
that we're receiving in an internal way
and this is why it says
and it wasn't ready to see specifically
a c why because we hear we're talking
about what type of seeing a true sense
of seeing
a type of seeing which is we are much
greater than one that gets enclosed in
in understanding and meditating and like
and matter of fact on this level of
scene where it's off the chart scene
where you totally become one with it
that's where it says in the talmud you
can't compare seeing something to
hearing something in other words because
you hear something or you heard it's not
it's true it's not true when you see
something it's real that is not an
external scene that's talking about an
internal thing like we're referring to
over here where you saw the essence of
it
and that type of thing you can't even
compare it to hearing
why because there is like a scene which
are comparating like we spoke about
before already however this type of
seeing is off the charts saying when you
become totally become one with the thing
that you saw now
how could we
merit such a level of seeing that we're
literally seeing the essence of god and
the answers are this is very simple
because what what do we get what where
is it coming from it's coming from
from the essence of hashem
so when you're connected to the essence
of hashem then you see in a whole
different reality
so because even though
it's explained in many many places that
we know moisture of anu wanted very very
much the best for the jewish people so
moshe raider says but after you stroll
you the jewish people smile listen in
other words moisture being very very
very much wanted the jewish peoples to
be elevated to what level he wanted us
to have this level of seeing just like
he saw mercury is sore
we our eyes are closed we're in goddess
we don't see like mushroom soul but
moishan wanted us to reach that high
level of seeing
and like it says clearly in the torah
hashem kim mysteries
he wanted that we should see and then he
said eberno go over error it's all about
we wanted us to see and he we know he
prayed 515 prayers like it says
where he pleaded to hashem the 515
prayers
and then what happened was when he when
hashem did not want to grant him the
request to see you so
then he said the after israel maybe at
least get an idea of what they're
hearing
so
so what sort of saying so even though
what are we saying
is literally seeing moisturizer tried he
wasn't successful but never never says
nevertheless
but when when you're dealing with
drawing down
which is talking about in this verse the
essence of hashem so we also merit the
ultimate seeing
complete sing
and that's why it says
because we're a we were married to the
idea of to be able to ultimately see and
we're seeing because we reach the level
of the idea of
now
so we're dealing with a huge level of
saying it's off the charts you're
totally connected with the reality whoa
but hey you see because you're connected
to the estimation
so even though
you're drawing down this powerful level
from another and the powerful level of
seeing
but the ultimate job says is
the ultimate goal is
that not you should leave the world and
you should go into like a trance you
should go off to a mountain no no that
thing that you saw that seeing that
clarity that you have you bring it back
into this work into this world and
that's why when it came when hashem gave
the torah it says pon him upon him face
to face
in other words what does that mean even
though it was punim upon him even though
hashem spoke fake to the face and it was
left naked to our premiums our essential
self and like it says clearly
the essence of hashem came revealed but
the ultimate goal is
that the ultimate goal is to draw down
from a noise
and to come down
into the four letters of utk bokeh
come down the four letters of youtube
and it should come down also and it'll
kept on the level of hashem is our god
so those represents like this even
though
a we see
clarity which is amazing but the goal is
to bring it down into our
hashem youth
four letters of hashem's name and
intellect what does that mean they're
explaining like this
when we say yut kevke what does that
mean so the rabbi explains that good
cave buff case of reference to all the
levels about satan and hebrew translate
say they're established all the levels
where it goes down from the highest
level to the lowest level utk buffet
represents the flow of energy from the
highest level to the lowest level
how is that so ut hashem's name is made
by
a hey
so the verse first yield is referring to
the dot it's adapt an idea
this the hay the first a is referring to
the expansive part
the vove is drawing it down
and the last day is again the expansion
part
so utk buff case referring to the
weights of that
expansion draws down and expansion
the same thing also
hashem with the word al-qaeda in other
words what what does it mean literally
it's referring to allah hashem is our
god
what does that mean the way it's coming
down into this world where hashem is our
god in this world
and especially like according to the way
it's translated elokim
is our power and our ability
so what happens on mountain toyota is
from the infinite part of hashem comes
down to uk buff king to all the levels
of estaciolus
yud the dot hey the expansion involved
drawing it down hey again the expansion
eloqua
god
up to the point where literally the
infinite part the anointing becomes our
power and our strength now what does
that mean practice everyone's going to
explain it now we know that when you
learn from this you know you learn
kabbalah stuff and it's really amazing
it's awesome but you have to bring it
down bob we just saw them you have to
make it practical you have to make it
real how's it gonna change our lives
make our lives better more relationship
with hashem etc
so he brings down what's brought down
the discourse is what this means
practically
in serving asha
so again what we learned that hashem's
name is made up of yud hey vavana
so yud
of hashem's name in serving hashem what
is that referring to so when you see the
union this will help you next time we
pray and you're studying you say the
word hashem the youth is represented by
the idea of the the the dot of faith
and the doubt of unity so you're the
first intro the first part of of getting
involved in the in hashem's name is all
about
faith in hashem and the unity of god
and this is actually the the foundation
of our service of hashem to have faith
in hashem and to realize the oneness of
hashem
that's the first level the first level
is the yud so you need a this is a
beautiful meditation for you
the first level is what it's all about
faith in hashem and the unity and
oneness of hashem what is the hay the
hay is when you stop meditating
and you start expanding the idea of the
faith and the unity which is the first
hay of hashem's name
now even as you expand this is very very
important as you expand into the
meditation of the hay
and you meditate on the faith and the
oneness etc so you still have to remain
loyal to the original yud
you have to still remain loyal to the
faith and like it's explained in many
places
like you and all circles
kokuma
and the hey espino
which is called like like a a
full expansion of a version of the
idea and venus for the expansion idea
but the fact is in order for bena to be
complete in order for the whole of been
it to be complete
you have to remain loyal it's called in
kabbalah
has to still be you know for example if
you have a flash of an idea bina
explains idea but imagine venus starts
explaining it it wasn't in
that's not what you expect
stay loyal to
kaufman gave you the kernel idea bina
you want to explain it but you have to
arrange make sure that khaka stays
strong
so in other words
the
original idea actually gives its life
force to to the expansion of beena
because if you don't have the original
idea of how do you even have bino
so same thing applies with faith and
meditation on faith
now after you have the faith the
expansion part khakha the expansion part
then you have to bring it down the verb
brings it down to where to all the six
medias
like the author explains in tanya
that from khakma and bina
khambina so you the yurt and the hay
comes das what does that mean you have
to meditate on it and you have to make
it real and when you're meditating you
and you and you connect and you apply to
reality you bring down
love and all its branches and all those
branches
and then this blood which represented by
the six meters you bring into the
emotions
and then it goes down to the last hay
the last stage is is referring to the
idea of action the small action which is
speech
and like for example learning torah and
the last action is the the the um up to
the the last hey which is the big action
of literally actually doing midfield so
you see literally now shannon's name
youth k bufke you have everything you
have the monday idea you have been the
the the development idea yeah above the
middles and you have the last hey where
it comes from the practical it was
either the action of learning speaking
or the action of physically doing the
mid choice now
but remember all these components on
youtube of k where it starts from bina
into the medicine to action it all
started off from
because the ten commandments were saying
so even though youth k buff k brings
down the chain from kah muldown from all
hostile action but remember you have to
be loyal to
which is
as we learned
hashem the essence of hashem and this
powerful esther hashem comes down
literally till the action which is
because we know the ultimate goal is to
make a different doctrine that hashem
should dwell down in this world and the
dwelling place should be for what not
for some level but from the essence of
hashem the goal is to make a dwelling
place for the essence of hashem what
does it mean the essence of the owner of
the world
and literally up to the point
that we should see in a revealed way
that on heaven and high
earth below anoid the only thing that
existed hashem itself
up to the point of as we know the
expression is
so i just have this really nothing else
that exists the only thing that exists
is hashem and like jesus you know known
the inside anoid mulvane
that wasn't being anal bodies nothing
else but besides hashem but with hashem
when you have hashem then you have
something else in other words with
hashem you have
this physical world but this physical
world is really all about hashem a noise
but i understand there's nothing but
with hashem you have a world but then
again it's hashem's world
and not only that says that in this
dwelling place
not only the owner of the of the of the
world is here
but all the levels of establishments
emotions
etc all the levels
and not only at the this all the
spheroids the tensors the angels etc
even the infinite spheres all are in
this world
so there ever says one second
how is it possible
that you can have the spheres which we
know the spheres are finite
this tends to voice there's a whole
heart they intellect the emotions etc
and then you're saying you have the
infinite part of hashem i mean how does
it go it's either it's either finite
then there's no infinite and if it's
infinite how do you have finite
so whoever says a very beautiful
expression and he says like this that's
the way it is i know this is their
indian what does that mean practically
we know the sudden when they argue about
certain things and when they were
dealing with the truth but they couldn't
explain it they said listen we can't
explain it but this is the fact it
doesn't change the fact so there's the
same thing also yeah you have a big
question and why not you're saying it's
zero so it's finite and what are you
saying it's infinite is it infinite or
finite so the fact is it's true it's
both how do you explain it you can't
explain it because how do you explain
finding an infinite in the same place
but the fact is doesn't change from the
fact the fact is that you do have
infinite and finite in the same place
and like to explain in many places to
this and it's also
even understood in simple intellect
simple and understands it
now back to the point so since the
infinite hashem is literally dwelling
down in this physical world
so therefore hashem is here everything
is here
and like it says clearly in the prophets
the
the honor and the glory of our son is
going to be revealed and everyone's
going to see literally the flesh is
going to see the infinite god and
literally you're going to see
the power of the creator in the creation
and we say in the creation referring to
literally down in this physical world
that literally the revelation the
infinite part of hashem is going to
reveal physically in the physical world
and what's going to happen in this
physical world what's going to be
revealed
the infinite
infinite expansiveness
of
the infinite part of hashem but together
with the finite and the limiting part of
the world in other words
this the pure simplicity from the most
spiritual level
which is connected to the simplicity
with the jewish person with the jewish
people i think there's expressions as
you swallow
the whole day that you have the the
jewish people which are finite and the
infinite hashem is all together
and this comes down even on on
a more
practical level up to the point where
the jewish people
and the torah and hashem become really
really all one the infinite the finite
all get connected in other words the the
limiting part of the jewish people get
connected
with the expansive part of the jewish
people and how and the references this
is all going to happen
very very soon very very quickly
literally in our times so here we have
another powerful beautiful discourse of
the rebbe which really opens up our eyes
that we have the ability to see
we have the ability to see infinite
because we're connected to our noisy but
remember when we do see and we have that
clarity the goal is to bring it down
into this world because the ultimate
goal is that hashem should be revealed
in this world we should have dear but
should have a dwelling place in this
world where the infinite and the finite
exists together it's like derby said
explain it possibly hard to explain but
that's the fact and um as we continue to
learn this we'll realize that really our
connection hashem is amazing we can see
literally infinite but we have to bring
that power in to this world have a great
and blessed week
