The Creation of the 10 Sefirot ...בראשית ברא אלקים A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the the name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse shab which is the 24th day of the month of TI which is also the shabas that blessed the month of in the year 40 years ago so again theic discourse is based on the verse that says in the beginning created the Heaven and the Earth so the Reb brings from the Reb the fourth Reb which in that year when theb discourse it was at 101 years of his passing so now would be um 141 years from his passing and we know that re's theme was to begin with go go go go over the top and as normally you go one step at a time and if you have issues you jump re says always jump go to the next level go go off the charts that was his theme and so he has AIC discourse with this title of in the year T and said it's brought down this idea in many many places as well that he explains the verse that what does it mean B that the verse is telling us when Hashem originally created the world he created the Heaven and the Earth and everything was created and when originally created the world now so if that's the case say one second and something's not understood like Rashi himself asked the question why does it say bous like if in the beginning this is the order of creation it should have said bous in the beginning God created or the beginning has created why does he use the term braus so he explains in that cic discourse that you could possibly say that before Hashem created all the details that it lists out in all the days of creation what is he telling us first what did create he's telling us about the creation of all the T spher in the world ofus that they were also created in the beginning something from nothing so later on in in the days he tells us the detail of the actual creation but over here in this verse the first verse Hashem is telling us about the creation of the 10 namely the way they exist we're in the world of what does that mean that even the highest world the first if we count the first was created something from nothing and it's and it's and and it's insinuated in this verse and like what what we know the verse says was created something from nothing and it's creating something from nothing in reference to the infinite light of hem up up to the point says that even a which is a very very high level primordial man is also called a creation of why because when it comes to the infinite and the essence of everything was created something for nothing and the creation of the spero are hinted and and and spelled out in this verse so again just to recap whatever is bringing down is teaching us is that the opening verse what does that mean he spels out everything that was created because over here he's telling us about the that these spher of the world of starting with everything was created from God something for nothing and as he mentions not only the but even has created something from nothing and he goes on to explain and says it's important to know this that this Insight is already written um and it's based on AIC discourse from the Al the first the the second in his classical Works called and of the his classic works and and and explains again this the point to bring out that's also mentioned and theous the word bous in the first verse is referring to what like we know it says is the beginning now that the case if racious is referring to so why and why you say bous what's the extra base and explains explains the reason why he says because b means two there's two levels of there's a higher level of and this lower level of what's the lower level of that's the way the last of the is included in so again so referring to is two levels of on its own and B the way part of and that's just like that we know that the letter yud which is just a letter is referring to what now the letter W where you think about it it's a y it's a DOT when you when you um write it it's a dot but when you say yud you can't say you you're not saying you you're saying y that means you're filling in extra letters what are the extra letters you're filling in you're filling in a V and a so yud is numerically 10 V and V is six and dollar is for such another numerical of T which is also referring to what part of that's the way it's filled out which is referring to Mal the way it's found in a concealed way in you have the revealed Mal its own sp but then you have Mal part of so bous is referring to What two levels of on its own and way the sphere specifically is part part of what does he say afterwards as the Heaven and the Earth and he explains sh is referring to all the emotions on high is referring to Mal a standalone sphere so Bas he explains the verse that in the beginning hasm created all the 10 spheres again thehere of part of all the emotions and Earth is referring to says one second we have to understand because we find in to in Z on the from theala in PR it says like this he explains the verse a little differently in reference to the 10 spher so the Z also says the 10 SPH were created in this in in the beginning and it's mentioned in the verse but and he and he lists it out differently and how does he list it out he say like this bous is is referring to okay so far we're good he says referring to what K elim is referring to Bina s is referring to and which we said before is all the emotions is only toer the S is referring to and is referring to Mal that's the way the Z lists it out so a little a different listing so says one second we have to understand why is it that theic discourse is it's listed differently the way it says in seemingly you can say that it's different MIM that that have different listing and and also affects like the the the essence of the flow and in other words in Z he explains that b is referring to also referring to ker so in other words that what gra is also referring to Cas that means what was created something from nothing Cas was also created something from nothing however the discourse that says is only referring to that's the only that's created something for nothing how can you say that how can you say that um that according to the only was the first one that's created something or nothing is only is not cre something or nothing but because the fact is mentioned before in the that even which is H in has created something from nothing so how much more so C has created something nothing so therefore you have to say that the argument is only the way you the way you connect the different spheres in the word in the in in the words of the verse but but then if that's the case what's the difference between the the the way learns it and the way it's brought down in the Z and says obvious you have to look into this and this is not the time to go into the minute differences between each but obviously in in in in in the global idea they're all agreeing to the same thing that the beginning is referring to the first verse is referring to the creation of Theo of the world ofas they were all created in the beginning starting obviously from and K and and all the mid Etc how they each they have their own way of interpreting which word is referring to what SP but again that's that that that's a a different discussion like d says and Bas explains that's why he says in other words in the beginning hasm created that before he starts telling us of the full creation of the whole world and everything that's inside so first he tells about what the creation of the 10us why because the SP like it's explained in cabala is like a Workman that goes to build a house you need tools you're building a table you need tools so the tools Hashem used to create the world is the 10 spheres of aus and that's why he starts off first with the 10 of aus and this is like like explaining theic discourse why he starts off before he tells us of the creation of the world and everything that's in the world he has to tell us about 10 in other words what's the issue cu the question is how is it that from Hashem who acture he's Oneness how do he create all these different materialistic things so that's why he starts up and tells us about creating the SPH because the the the different Creations in the world all come from the different spher but say one second we still have to understand what's the question the fact is what do we answer the reason why he tells about the Spheres is so we have because we have an issue because how does the infinite God which is totally one is create all these different things in the world what's the answer he uses the Spheres beautiful so so says this takes away the are understanding how the world was created the world is created not directly from the infinite God but through the SPO but the question is how from the infinite God was it created SPO now if you're going to say how how did hasm do it could do anything he's not he's not limited that can't create a finite sphere so if that's the case he could have created a finite World also why do you need the sphere specifically you obviously you need to look into it and this is not the time to go into that discussion but the main point is that hasm originally created the SPH and through that he created the world okay he goes on to explain as follows the the verse in the ver the the verses in the beginning of of thees what do it say the world was void in other words how did hm create the world that in the beginning he created toyou the world of chaos what was the world of toyu there was too much light the vessels couldn't handle it and what happens when you have too much light too much energy and the vessels can't handle it the vessels break and D say you can add and that's why it says it was dark over the abyss over over the chaos why what is Darkness referring to the breaking of the vessels if you have a vessel and you put in too much light and the vessels break what do you have you have light you don't have light anymore you have Darkness so what so that was the first thing it was to there was chaos because there was too much light and the vessel couldn't handle and because that there was darkness and then should be light what's light it's referring to the light of tick that's where every light fits into the vessel every vessel has appropriate amount of light that went into it in other words when you have tick which means the light fills the vessel and it's an appropriate measurement we transform and we Elevate not only the Sparks that have to be of the world of AOS but even the Sparks of toyu that fell down into the world of Bria in the darkness of this world through Tik we're able to transform and Elevate even a higher level of toou know toou was higher than Tik but through tick you can actually Elevate toou and by elevating and transforming toou we Elevate the Sparks higher and even higher than us and like it's known in reference to the different Transformations so before we go into this um NE next part of transformation I want to give an introduction because we're going to go into some cabalistic stuff so let me give an introduction as follows we know that hashem's name he that's hashem's powerful name we don't pronounce it so yud is every one of these letters we know has a numerical value yud is 10 he has five V is six and he is five that's God's name now when you take God's name you can spell it out y generally speaking hey can be spelled that in multiple ways with an Al with a UD with a he Etc V could be V and then you can have um V Al and so on and so forth you got v v and then you have the last hey which again could be hey hey hey alive hey y Etc now there's 27 different ways to fill out God's name we're going to talk today about four the four which is called in the world of cabala is called AB s Ma and ban now I'm giving it in this order because AB is so to speak the highest most powerful one and connected to the you of God's name sag is the second one which is connected to the hay of God's name Ma is connected to the V of God's name and bond is connected to the last hay of God's name that's on one level another level AB is connected to the world ofus and we'll soon explain how we get how we get these names of ab s AB is connected to the world of ailla so he's the highest sag is connected to the world of Bria creation ma is connected to the world of and B is connected to the world of ab that's on one another level in reference to the worlds also the in the in the images AB is connect to Aba even ABA generally refering to we talking about in reference to these four names names AB is connect to Aba um sag is connect to Ima which is the mother and Ma is connect to Z small face which again we generally refer to the Mido and B is connect to which is referring to generally Mal now go even deeper AB is connected to to the to in the Torah the and the SAG is more than the the vowels and T and and Ma is more the the tag the little dots on top of certain letters and bottoms the actual letter in reference to the it's also connected is connected to the the which is the second highest level right before s is connect to level of ma is connected to R and then um is connect to nees also in the different uh elements in the world AB is connect to Fire and sag is connect to water and Ma connect to Ru and B is connect to offer Earth also in terms of directions AB is uh is uh Durham South and sag is actually north ma is east and ban is is uh is West also in reference to the Patriarchs AB is connect to Abraham sag is connect to ma is connect to yov and B is connect to King David okay now but let's get back to the main point so AB is the highest Saga is the second ma is the third and Bon is the fourth where do they get these names from so AB actually is numerically it's AB is 72 s isim so it's 63 ma is 45 and B is 52 where do they get these numbers from so the way it works is like this you take hashem's name so the way the ab fills out where you can fill out it uses Prim primarily the letter the number 10 so take for example is that's how you spell it out hey so again we have an option to do Al so we do it he and then we have V we can do V or Etc we do over here and the and last he is he so if you take he he and hey you get to the numerical value of what of 72 and that's how you get to the same ab ab is seven AB is of two letters i in and B 72 then you have where you can combine it what's the combo so y would be he would be he so we're using the letter y v instead of Y like we did before with the a we're using over here an alive so it's V so we're short nine already and then you have he so obviously you're short nine you were down to what 63 so 63 is a mix between what between a um between a um a u and an olive the next one we're going to do is actually we're going to we're going to use olives one the smallest letter alive so is that's it's standard he is he alive V would be v alive and hey is he alive and you get to numerical value what of 45 the last one ban 52 we're going to use hey so you would be standard hey would be hey hey V would be V and hey would be hey hey so that's how you have 52 so again so we have AB is basically we use y letter to fill it out s we use alive you use alive and use now so but so remember this so AB is the highest sag is the second to the highest ma is the third and B is a l lowest now now now let's stay focus on on the point was bringing out D says when it comes to transformation so what's the lowest one of hashem's name ban so our go so our goal is to elevate ban how do you elevate ban what's the what's the hashem's name closest to ban the one that's closest to B is what is ma ma is the one next to it so ma which actually has the alif in there which is more humility and Ma actually comes from idea ma what does want it's humility so ma elevates B and when Ma elevates ban it goes to the level of sag which is actually higher than Ma so ma elevates ban and elevates it higher than M goes up to sh so just like when when tick which is lower than toyu Tik has the power to elevate the Sparks and toyou and elevate it high in the world of aus just like we find that Ma elevates B and brings it up to the sh s and this is also the idea of a year which is a leap year why because when you want to when you want to straighten out between the the the the the the the the way the moon goes which is Moon is referring to which which is connected to which name of hasem B and you want to straighten it out with what with the name of the sun which is referring to Ma so what happens then is you add you add in in a leap year um more uh you add more days and then you elevate it to the shame sag so the idea of a leap here it's not just adding months Etc it's powerful stuff going on here you're trying to go ahead and Elevate uh the the moon to straighten out the sun we trying to elevate bond with with Ma and then you elevate to the sh so that's the whole idea of so seemingly how can how can tick and Elevate how can tick and Elevate to you and here you see the power of ticking that could Elevate just like that Ma elevates basak just like a leapia you elevated um the moon to the higher higher level every finish he say like this it should be the will of hem that will come to the promise where it says that the light of the Moon which is lower which is really ban is going to be like the shame it's going to be like the light of the sun like shma and not only that that the shame ban which is the lowest one is going to go higher than sha it's going to come Lev like it says in the prophets the famous from from King Solomon we say on Friday night a terrorist by that the wife which technically is on a lower level is going to be the crown of her husband and like it says of govern the female is going to go higher than the male and then we're going when M it's going be fulfilled where it says we're not going to be um concerned about about teacher on the contrary but the glory of hem it's not going to be concealed the glory ofm is going to be revealed and everyone's going to see together and what's going to happen then is God is going to be the king and hem will be the King on the whole world and on that day what's going to happen is Hashem hem is going to be one and his name is going to be one I mean it's not going to be like a name that you can say a name you can say everything is going to be revealed and when is that going to happen like finishes off it's going to happen here's another beautiful powerful some heavy cabala here in this discourse learning about different names of hem but you see it's all in the Torah it's all in the Torah and two major points number one is all the SPO that's the tools uses to created the world but more importantly that literally by living a Tik a Balan life we have the power to elevate the holy Sparks of toou just like that bond that gets elevated through ma the power to elevate com from through humility and you actually bring it to a higher level and like finishes off that ultimately we're going to comes the world is going be transformed and we're going to have the great revelation of and God's willing our next class will bees have a great and blessed week sh
