The Blessings of the Land of Israel וכי תבואו אל הארץ A New Kabbalah class Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on sadis we're going to be learning a beautiful Hasidic discourse from the Reba the name of the discourse is when you enter into the land the rebel said this discourse and Shabbos parshus in the year on the 13th day of the month of er 55 years ago discourse is based on the verse in the Torah portion where it says when you enter into the land on a top them called you're going to plant a fruit bearing tree so the Tauruses are around which means this the tree is so to speak forbidden blocked off and for three years Charlize for three years it's blocked over to written you can eat so for the first three years of a fruit tree you're not gonna have any you're not going to eat it on the fourth year of Ashana reviews in the fourth year it's going to be Holi and on the fifth year you can go ahead and eat the fruit and then the turtle uses an interesting expression to add to you the produce and then it says I am God so that's the verse in the notorious now dreba says this the seeming understanding of the verses that when you come into the land you're going to plant a tree a fruit-bearing tree in other words what's the purpose of coming into the land not just to sit there and do nothing but to plant trees to plant trees in the land of Israel what type of trees trees that produce those fruit produce fruits it's called a tree that bruises fruit that you can eat so if that's the case if the whole intent is to come to land and to plant trees so you can have fruit trees that you can eat from it so why for the first three years can't you eat it in other words as it says clearly the first three years forbidden detriment and even though right in the fourth year you can't eat it where you're at but you have to have to be holy and you have to take it to Jerusalem and then only in the fifth year are you able to eat it so again the question is a simple question if the whole intends to come to a land to print plant fruit trees why can't we eat it and the fourth is questionable only the 50th also we have to understand what does it say in the in the fifth year in other words it it says you can eat it in the fifth year and when it was in the sixth and the seventh and the eighth you can eat for all the years afterwards as well so why is the only mention the fifth year and as he should have said from the fifth and onward or like and we find this expression in a terrible it says so it could have said the fifth year and on okay also we have to understand the verse says it's going to be and the the the produce is going to be a an abundance obviously when a Torah says talking about an intense an infinite type of abundance in other words why is the Torah saying this because the fact is you look at all the other Mitzvahs all the other Mitzvahs the reward is commensurate to the midst in other words in reference to the when a person does a Mitzvah commandment so there's a reward so there's actually two opinions what the how the reward works the one opinion is that it's a cause and effect you do a dismiss but you get this reward you do this much you get that reward Etc or you do a Mitzvah and you get a reward but it's understanding commensurate to the actual message you did so it's more Monumental and like it's a represents it's a big argument between the restrain name exactly what how the how the reward works again whether it's a cause and effect or just a symbolic idea but the irrelevant according to both opinions the reward has to do with the principle on some level however here no the Holy Ship it's it's infinite so the question is why is Arla different um that the reward is that if you if you keep it I mean for three years you don't you don't you don't have any benefit in the fourth you bring it to Jerusalem so then you get this infinite reward what why specifically is this one you got the usual reward in other words obviously in all Dimensions you get a reward but the Torah goes out of its way to say no no I'm gonna give you a special brother so what's this special infinite blessing also at the end the verse that says we don't find it by by other midst of them says by the end of them it says the question is so the rubber brings from the summer Saturday the third Chabad rabba and he has a discourse on this verse so he brings one the commentaries on the Torah called the bahaya and the Baha'i explains as follows he gives actually many many insights into the whole idea of the Arlo the fourth year the fifth year and then he brings the song with the Baha'i says and he says as follows according to Kabbalah according to the esoteric teacher Torah what is the Mitzvah of urlah which forbidden to eat it for the first three years in other words the the Torah kept us away from benefiting from the fruit for the first three years is because that these first three years corresponds to the three high levels and because it's so high we don't have an ability to comprehend it and connect to it or like and like for example says it's comparable to when ashram created the world it says it was a it was it was it was it was chaos it was it was darkness and then obviously God went and created the light is saying is the source of the three years comes from a very very high level and that's why we don't have any benefit from it now that's why the Son of God brings in the bahaya but then explains and he says as follows what's these high levels so he says in the world of Kabbalah we know everything is built on the spheroids so the first three years is connected to the catheter the highest viewer and Bina in other words and we're talking the world about silut so what does that mean since it is Which is higher than the human comprehension and that's why we're not allowed to eat it again so software we have from the Baha'i that says it's connected to a very very high level which again is on to explains that's the first three years that the fourth year corresponds to a testamentary river the spirit of God was hovering over the water so in other words it's not a complete concealment and it's not something which you totally can't comprehend but it's hovering over so the same thing also the fourth year it's not 100 permissible um it's not forbidden but you're able to redeem it and take it to to to to to to to Jerusalem and obviously if you don't redeem it you're not going to have any benefit so so that's the bahaya says um but but there's someone something explains what does it mean on a spiritual level it's the sphere of what it's fear of dust again just to recap the Baha'i says the first three years is not a contradiction they're explaining a deeper concept the fourth year so the Baha'i says connect to urugues and that explains it's connected well to the sphere of Das in other words and now that I was going to explain what's like what's the connection with us because we know there explains that Das so on one hand it's part of the as part of the intellectual world but nevertheless Das is already connected to the emotions the six emotions like it's called it's the the opening that has within it the six Spirits in other words even though Das is an intermediate between and the midoys so in other words it's connected to so to speak higher of a higher than a tool of energy load between Kessler which is off the charts but nevertheless since Das so you know the Spheres the way they work as cockman's right being as left and Dasa Center saying classic words person Center but since Das is a center Sphero so in other words the ever since the center one is connected on high and Below on all levels in other words it's like the concept of Truth in truth there's no there's no one truth here one truth there it permeates everything so that's like truth permeates everything a center sphere permeates everything so Das has the ability to connect you know but also as a connect has the ability to connect to amidos so obviously just like it's on high and connected to capture and Cochran but you know it also has a relationship and a way to connect on the lower in the lower spheres so therefore because it has that magical touch that it connects with and connect to the Middle East so that's why it's that that's the quality of of Das and since in something which is an intermediary so therefore what happens in the fourth year you're allowed to eat it but it has certain restrictions it has to be eaten the holy way in in in Jerusalem so again so directly is explaining here is that again the first three years if we can't touch it the fourth year is connected on one hand connect of classical Communists that's why this restriction is but on the other ends connected to me this that's why ultimately you can enjoy it obviously if you redeem it and take it into an into your slime now so everybody asks a question except like this what did we just learn we learned that cast that that the first three years is connected to a very very high level but how does this make sense what the author explains the cutteria based on what it says that the three years of our law is connected to the shoulders Clippers at my eyes the three import empirically vote so it's like two opposites one hand we just the second brings and he says it's connected me the highest levels that's why we can't touch it okay but then the altar brings in the Zoya that's connected to the three Clippers so whoever explains and he says as follows he explains it based on what it says in reference to the the to the um to The Lion and the ax in other words the fact is like this the lion in its source is much higher than the ax like we know in the kisayak coverage so it says the lion is on the right side and the ax is on the left side so think about this on high the the lion is on the right side on the serve is on the left side the axis on the left side what happens down in this world the ox is a kosher animal and the lion is an impure animal it's seemingly if the lion is the one that's on the right it should be the kosher animal down here and the oxygen on the left it should be an unkosher animal down here but the Earth says no that's exactly the point because the lion is so high it's on the keysay covenants on the right side so when the when the soils between the vessels broke and when the lion came down this physical world the way it's down here because we know the rule is there anything that's high when it comes crashing down it comes that crashing down much much lower so therefore because the line is on the right side and high when it comes down here it's unfortunately unpure however the the face of the axis is only on the left side and it's lower than the lion so even though even though it's in the Chariot but when it comes down here um it comes on here it's it remains kosher in other words even when it comes down here it doesn't get disconnected because it wasn't so High um so in other words so what do you see from here that the lion in its source it's much higher when it comes down unfortunately it's impure the acts it's not so high it's lower than the line when it comes down here it remains kosher So based on this sort of explains beautifully this is the the the reference to what the first three years of Arlo in its source the first three years where they connect to on a very very high level they're a hot level like the thermocellix said however when they come down here because it was so high it falls so low and it's connected unfortunately three Cleveland three empirically both which is forbidden to eat and didn't have any benefit up to the point to the Altima right Centennial and he gives an example of three Cleveland that's made he gives an example from Arlo so this so what the Reps explains just now is to recap that on one hand we just learned that the the first three years is connected to very very high and on one hand why is it why is it for part of three Clippers on me and the answers he gives the example just like from The Lion Which is higher in the qcr coverage when it comes down here it's impure the shirt is a drop lower what comes down as pure the same thing also the first three is in its source it's very very high but when it comes down here unfortunately it goes into the three Clips nailed so everyone's assumingly we have to understand one sec the fact is God created the world and he put us in the world and the purpose is that we should serve Hashem in this world as it says in the prophetam God gave this world in our heart which transformed the world and knows the whole purpose of trump created the world is so we should be here and transform and Elevate the world so if that's the case how do we trans how do we transform and Elevate the three Cleveland if the first three years we can't eat the produce so there's no blessing you can't elevate it we're here to elevate stuff the first three years I mean yeah let's let's work it out let's let's transform it and Arabic says he's going to explain it based on what's explained it's based on what's explained in the Hasidic discourses the difference between transformation in Hebrew it's called avoid and test there are certain tests in other words the the transformation of the three in pure clippold it the way you transform it is by by resisting engaging in it in other words by not getting involved in it and it bothers you that's how you create the transformation so it's a powerful idea certain things we are movar certain things we transform and certain things are test not to touch it now when you overcome the test of not touching it that's how you transform it so the three certain things outside are Kosher you make a blessing you eat it you elevate it certain things that are not kosher the way to elevators is by refraining from touching it or engaging with it so the same thing applies to the three clear products made out yes we're here to transform it the way you transform it is don't touch it and this they're explaining deeper is this is the basic difference between the 365 negative precepts and the 248 positive precepts why because the fact is the two I mean 200 the fractions of 248 positive mitzvotes how do you transform them by engaging in it every mix of thrilling you put on fill in costumes you keep kosher Shabbat you keep Savant so every one of the 248 Commandments of the positive ones how do you how do you how do you elevate am I doing it but how do you deal with the 365 that you can't do not buy it from a close place but by not touching it I don't want it I don't have nothing to do with it that's the way we transform in other words so the question is what's higher by doing a positive Mitchell or refraining from a negative net star so the river says that specifically when you transform by abstaining 365 Commandments and by the pain that you have from it you reach much higher and let's explain in the in the um in the classical teachings of the river hashab in the year tafresh some above that through pain you reach the level of timing which is the highest part of kesser so the way to transform things that you can't do is actually by not doing it and it's actually even higher and through the pain of not doing it you actually create a deeper timing a deeper a deeper satisfaction now after we go through the avoida for three years think of you plant in a tree and it's producing beautiful fruit you'd love to have it but you can't Hashem says no so for three years you practice restraint you don't touch it and but literally day in day out for three years you practice trained so what happens is then in the fourth year you're able to to elevate English Lion but then when you finally come to the and and the fourth year strength is not for you that's that benefits unless it's in the right spot but what happens when it comes to the fifth year then the Taurus says in other words now you're gonna have this huge infinite blessing why is that because what's the source of the first three years that you'd embedded from it the source of our law that you know is from the from the castlebino so therefore when you transform it down here by not engaging it you actually connect to the source like different action is there a straight risk you grab the source and that by grabbing the source that will give you the most powerful blessings and that's the first three of Kester but how do we act how do we activate it how do we connect to the source of by specifically practicing restraint so what happens then is in the fifth year you have La Joyce you have a whole different level of blessing but again it's only the fifth only comes after you did that volume three and four when and when you practice the avoid of the three years restraint you're not doing anything so what are you connecting to to the source and then when the 50 when you're able to consume it you're actually bringing it in in in in into your world and that gives you the greatest blessings and now that it goes on deeper and explains like this what is the whole idea of the fifth year so we know what hashem's name is the yud the hey the verb and the hey four four letters now on top of the year there's something which is called the Coit Central Europe the dot on top of the unit it's not a letter U is a letter that that is it's not a letter it's adapt but on the other hand it's above the letters what is the dot which is above the letter that's connected the idea of ketter so what happens is you connect to the dot above the yield which is kesser so this is the whole idea of what of the fifth year what's the fifth year the fifth year is connected to the docked above the letter U Which is higher than the four letters of Youth hey involved hey because we know that the you know hey Bob hey the hashem's name is connected to Walter the 10th series it's connected to houses connected intensities because the youth the dot the the letter good is connected to the spirit of the first hay is connected to what to BINA and the valve is connected to six metered and the last hay um is is connected to malhas so again and the last hey is malachos what's the koit you're the dot and top that's kesser that's the crown and that's the reward uh in the crown is where some ads which is basically in ads which is even higher than the reward of ultimate slice why why is that because all the mitzvahies is connected to where to use kebabki and like the lawyer says clearly that there there are mentalists that are connected to the youth to to to youth Cave of K say he says in in Aramaic Italian just like just like grapes that are hanging on um on its branch in other words there are certain mid-soices are connected to the Youth of of Youth K-pop K there are certain Mitzvahs are connected to walk to the hay the first hay and there are certain mixes are connected to those above and the certain mentions are connected to the last hay so therefore what happens like this when you do a Mitzvah since every myth is either connected to the yud or the hey or the above hey so when you do a myths what are you doing you're drawing down one of the letters whether it's yudhay above hey so that's why every midsole when you do a mental the reward is commensurate to the Mitzvah because it's connected to youth Hager of all day and whether it's whether it's a cause and effect or if it's just a you know a symbolic idea but the fact is it's connected to your favorite therefore it's only it's it's a finite reward so to speak however when you fulfill the midst of our law what are you connecting to you're connecting to the coins actually you're the the dot on top which is connected Lima and that's why the reward is saying much more powerful so there shows you literally a kabbalistic map when the terrorist says it's going to add a blessing so there's two components one is never explained that when you practice of the the three years of restraint and that's really elevated to connect customer so then the fifth year were you connecting to you connected a culture so you're connecting to work versus all the evidence like it says you're connecting either through you they hate the buffet and that's why the reward is on a lower level and that's why the verse finishes off and it says why since when you pers since you're connecting to the culture so you're connecting to a Bobby spouseless above the flow of all the spirits so therefore you need to have the promise a perfect promise from Hashem that the it's not enough that we should we should we should connect to them the goal is to bring it down so that's why the tourists are near Hashem I am Hashem and that's and that causes it to cut to come to come to come to come literally um into in into this world now how does this all happen so it all happens again to recap to go back to the main point it happens when we do the transformation by practicing restraint and when you practice your restraint you draw Down the Lights which is now so that's what we reaching we're reach a very high level but the goal is to do a lot not just to keep it up there to bring it down to this world how do you bring it down in this world through that void which is called tikkon you want to bring it down to this world because the fact is the quite social use like we learned is kesser which and cancer is one of the spirit of toyu but the goal is it to be drawn down and revealed in the avoid of tikkon in this world how do we bring it into this world we bring into this world to the four letters of good and the hey and above a absolutely the last letter which we know the last letter the one that spreads it all out all over and that's the whole idea of the four years in other words the three years of the oral law where you can cannot be benefits and the fourth year where the with this restrictions and then you reach the level of the fifth year culture salute so there was explaining it beautifully saying as follows the goal is yeah we want to reach the highest level we have to bring it down into this world so that's why the setup is clearly to um there's a four year and a fifth year because basically by practicing restraint we're reaching the highest level but the goal then is to bring it down to this world and the way we bring it down to this world is by having a process of four years which is connecting youth cave off which brings it down to this world and the river says this is also the general idea of the Soul coming down into our body in other words as we know the soul and the Soul comes down to the body there's four different levels in the the way the soul comes down into the body like we said clearly we say every single morning wasn't saying the summer to be the soldier you gave me it's pure after Barossa after yata after the factory so you see the soul is coming down four levels but the goal is not the soul should come down and get stuck down here the goals which come down here and Elevate the world and as when it comes down to the four levels the goal is to elevate not just back to um from the factor to the attack to also to Tahiri the goal is to go to even higher the higher than the place of souls before and where's the higher level the higher level is like it's like the um which the fifth level Which is higher than the four level four levels and has this happen it happens and the Soul comes down to the body and just like um the the example of the vessels like like like um like job explained before so another saying like this this whole idea we learned about the the the the the the uh the um the experience of the four years of Arla applies to us as well because we come down to this world the Sharma came down four levels the goal is to transform and Elevate and go to even a higher place so based on sugar explains why he says he said volume come to land what was it referring to it's referring to the the soul coming down to the body and the whole goal is that we should go ahead we should plant fruit trees it wasn't any fruit trees we should make this world a dwelling place for Hashem and how do we make a dwelling place for Hashem when we come down to the four levels and then we transform the world but the goal is again to transform it to transform it and reach a higher place and when it when we transform the world what happens is the soul itself gets elevated and the sex dance and a personal personal Journey but the same applies to the generally the Jewish people in other words when the Jewish people came to the land of Israel that was the beginning of our spiritual work why because when we were in the desert that was only preparation for our spiritual work but when did the real work start of making the world a dwelling place for Hashem that specifically when we came into the land of Israel we struck when we went ahead and we were transforming the World by planting and sewing and um and creating literally fruit trees that were able to produce fruit and and then we have to then we go and eat it we need to we internalize it and the food the fruits become part of our blood which becomes part of uh our flesh and matter of fact because we know that was the the complaint of this of the um the miraculum of the spies they didn't want to go into the land of Israel why because they didn't want to have the downgrades and to deal with the physical world but the truth is we know that the toiva or it's the world is very very good and just twice good in other words like specifically by going into the land of Israel and working the land that is the ultimate work that we can have and that's the oh that's the true elevation that for our soul this is also the our spiritual work of serious because it says in in the prophets um what does it say it says it says and it says singular singular why singular because initially muschaini is referring to the Godly soul but afterwards Naruto who runs after Hashem plural if it's only the golly so how do you have plural and the answer is because The Godly Soul initially is one drawing it's one the guy that sells draw is schlepping making it happen but then Naruto the goal is to he that there's two people running Who The Godly soul and the animal Soul because the animal cell gets transformed and is on the same Mission as The Godly soul and that's why the the the the gift that's coming from seriously from barley which is which is food which is food which animals eat because the goal is to transform the animal part of the human being and from there we make a food out of wheat that that people eat that we are called obviously Adam and through that we do our spiritual work of transforming um the physical world and Transforming Our animal Soul we come to the part where it says in the prophets of the Ali khadaraf God brings me into his Chambers when did that happen toy road because then we have the terror when we're learning Terror now we won with Hashem when you learn Terror you literally went with the King and this is also a preparation for the ultimate Redemption as we know Mountain turns not going to be again we only had an entire once um and they were still getting together it's not going to matter again so therefore Martin Torah is a preparation for the revelation of the Torah mashiach and that happens how by us Transforming Our animal soul and when we come into the land specifically and we go we go into the God's chamber and God reveals all the secrets up to the point where it finishes off we're going to receive the Torah with joy and Primus and in Eternal way so again we have another beautiful acidic discourse of the Reba explains the whole idea of Arla I think it's a whole it creates a whole new level and the power of restraint which has the power to bring down the highest levels and to realize what our voice of this in this world is to transform our animal soul and then we'll connect to the god to God in the highest levels and we'll all Merit for the coming of mashiach and receive the highest level of terrorism let's hope and pray that our next class is have a great and blessed week [Music]
