Welcome to our class on we're going be
learning a beautiful discourse in the
Reb the name of the discourse is called
Key
by the re said this
discourse that year the two portions
were read together it was also the 13
day the month of the year in the
year 36 years ago so again the discourse
is based on the verse in this week's T
portion where it says on this day
is going to
atone to purify you and then it
says in Fr
of you're going to be purified so he
brings in which is from the AL teachings
on the par which is called Torah portion
of the week and he says this the verse
says in front of H what does mean in
front of hem he actually means he's
going to purify you to the level of the
Mila higher than the level
of and he brings over there that what is
the whole idea of chuva returning when a
person returns to hasem the idea of Chua
is returning your Godly soul to its
source the way it was before it came
down all the different levels to come
down into the physical body and over
there before it came down it was it was
uh part and it was connected um in its
source of the infinite light of Hashem
so chuva is taking when returning the
The Godly soul to its original Source
but what happens is after it came
down to this world and many many levels
uh down here and it got and a change
from one level to the next and it came
to a physical body into the phys into
the physical world so the soul has to go
back to its source and it has to go it
means it has to be back to the point
where it's cleaving with the with the
Living God
that means it has to become one with the
in Hebrew and translate
the the infinite part of just like
before so that's what the alter explains
in why it says because it has to go back
when it does TR to the place where it
came originally from you can say that
this he explains in the discourse that
what is Tru what does returning mean to
return the soul toward its sours is also
to explain why it says here in reference
to
tr that front of H has to be purified
and like the Au explained has to be
higher than why is that because this
stud explains in the discourse that the
source of the soul is we
is in the infinite light of hem what
does he mean the explains that referring
to which part of ir which part of the
infinite part of hem the part Which is
higher than
y why because what's the whole idea of
Truth returning you have to
return the soul to its source so when
you when you're doing Chua is returning
the soul to which is hi in your that's
why it says and that's why in reference
to CH it says because what is the
holiday of CHA to return the soul to the
level
of
the so that's what the alra explains
says to understand this to he's going to
explain as follows in other words that
the source of the of the soul is higher
than he says CU we know that we say in
the in the prayers it says as follows
the soul that we're talking about that
you gave me it's
pure you created in other words that the
soul on its own is in the level of pure
and it's even higher than you created it
so in other words it's it there's
there's two levels there pure and then
there's the part of the created the soul
comes from where from the level of
Purity in other words this level of
Purity is referring to the godliness
Which is higher than anything of
creation anything that's related to
verasa not only that it's even higher
than the part of God which creates the
world and and and that itself it's even
higher than the highest level of
godliness which is created which is
connected to creating the world means to
was higher than any part of God that has
to do with brussa creating the world why
is that cuz when it comes to the part of
God which is used to create the world
there's different levels in other words
there's a part of God that's connected
to the world like we know this the shim
of God and like it says when when
created the world what do it say in the
beginning of Genesis
Bim which name of God did God use to
create the world
shim there's also a part of God which is
which is much higher and really has no
connect with the materialistic world
what when
they what name of God is that that's the
name
of but nevertheless
so used to create the world KK is higher
but it has some kind of relation with
the world why because why is it why is
it called y
y because because because it because
from there there's the energy to create
the world and like it says clearly in in
the
Torah that even though is but is
partners and creating the world know hem
created the earth and the heaven is not
only limited toim it's also connected
to so therefore when we say is it's even
higher than the that creation it means
it's higher than anything in the world
means it's higher not only from the name
of Elohim but it's even higher from the
name of Y K because has also some kind
of relationship with the world so what
there was explaining is as follows the
AL taught us that has to go the goes
back to its source which
is and why is that so he explains
because since it
says it means Elohim is connected to the
world is but it's also some connected to
the world is even
higher and the Soul goes back to that
higher level and the re say we're going
to explain it even deeper like we know
that the
name is called sh it's the essence part
of the name the name that describes the
essence of hem or the sh it's the the
name that literally spells out the
connection to the deepest part of hem or
the the the name that's connected in the
oness with hem but sh is a very very
powerful name of hem know it's the
highest name of hem the highest name is
yut so therefore
that so the fact that y as high as it is
has a connection with the creational
world why is that because it's only
because it's a name and it's not the
essence it's it's a description it's a
name and yes even though
it's and but still a name So based on
this we'll understand why the sour the
the source of the soul is in the level
of to which is even higher than the name
of because which has a connection to the
world because the source of the soul is
in I'll say in Hebrew the term in asmos
the essence of Hashem himself which is
higher than any name or any type of
Revelation so D explains is again that
when you're dealing with a name as high
as it is it's only it's it's still a
name versus the soul is sourced into the
essence of
Hashem now this that we the soul returns
back to to to its source that actually
elevates the soul what does that mean it
explains like this
because the fact is before the soul came
down into this world where was it it was
it was connected to the essence of
Hashem but that the way it was connected
that was before it came down was pure it
was connected to the essence of hem but
what happens after the soul comes down
into this world and you bring the Soul
Back even let's to the same space the
essence of hem what is the intent the
intent is that not that the soul the way
it's down here connected to a body and
there's a soul in the body even on this
level the goal
is the spirit goes back
to gave the soul but what are we talking
not just not just the soul the pure soul
the soul that got connected to the body
what does that
mean this that the soul goes back to its
source it it gots it's in the world how
does it happen that it goes back into to
to its source it happens by the soul
doing its work in this physical world
what what is the work that does in this
world it does does the work
of the souls down here for what to make
a dwelling place for hem every time you
learn every time you pray every time you
do a MIT you're making a dwelling place
for hasem and what's the whole idea of
making a dwelling place for hem now in
this
world is that God himself should be
revealed without any any any without any
any any any contractions or limitations
for example just like when if someone
lives in their house so who lives in the
house the external part of yourself you
live in the house so the goal is that
Hashem himself should live in this in
this world so when the world becomes a
dwelling place means is here in a
revealed state that means literally we
call it which means the lower World
which means God Is concealed that in the
place where God Is concealed God himself
should be revealed without any without
any type of uh contractions or
limitations and like it says clearly in
the
prophets the goal is there not be
anything blocking it's going to be
totally revealed like auor explains in
Tanya explained many places in mysticism
that we're not going to have to hide
with any any clothing or any any
concealment hasem is going to be totally
revealed through the Avo through the
work of the soul in this world now when
the soul does this work that means the
soul brings down the essence of hasem
down into this materialistic world so
what happens then is the soul gets
elevated and then you bring the soul
back to its source in the essence of
Hashem so saying like this the soul
initially was in the essence of Hashem
it came down to this world and it does
its work of making God revealed in this
world then the Soul the way it got
involved in the world goes back to its
source and that that's the elevation
part of the Soul so from here we
understand this the soul goes back to
its sours is referring to way the soul
got involved the
body because what does a soul do he's
bringing godliness down into the
materialistic World body physicality Etc
so what is the reward that that the soul
receives for this type of work is the
spirit goes back know even the ways down
this world the way the soul is in a body
the soul goes gets to go back to its
source and that's the elevation that
takes place in the Soul by coming down
into the body know even on this level
when it comes down into the world into
this world it still has the power to to
go ahead and be the soul will go back to
its source now in this elevation the
soul has there two components what are
two components component of one one is
that even while the soul comes down into
this world it has the power to go back
to its source like the verse
says so what does that represent that
represents the the deep and the
tremendous connection that the soul has
with with the the essence of hasem means
even though it came down here it it's
still connected and goes back to its
source like the alter writes powerfully
in t says that when a person
unfortunately
sins even while a person is sinning and
rebelling against
as it's still connected it's still
faithful to hem how is it faithful if
it's sinning because yes it is exter
sitting externally but the connection is
so strong that even while the person is
sinning it still feels and still
connected to hem so therefore when the
soul comes down into this
world and in this world even though it
gets involved in the world it still has
the power to go back to its source
because that represents the tremendous
strength of the connection that the soul
has with God that's Point number one
that the soul as as much as it gets
involved in the materialistic World it
always stays connected on high and the
second idea is that when the soul comes
down into this world it it goes ahead
and transforms the body and it affects
on the
body not when the body gets obliterated
but it works in the body that the body
saves the body and the Soul affects the
body that that that um that the body
should realize yes it's only a conduit
it's not the main thing and the main
thing is a soul so D saying is that what
happens is when the soul comes down to
the body is two things number one is it
still stays connected and number two is
when it gets involved in the body it
inspires the body the body should
realize yes we're not looking to
obliterate you working to work with you
but remember the more most important
thing is God and
godliness he like to connect this what
it's explaining of the second T portion
that year was together this year it's
two separate Torah portions but it
says which is again the Torah portion of
the second Torah portion that year and
this year will be next week so to speak
based on the verse that says when you
come into the land and you plant you're
going to plant fruit bearing trees so
this re ask a simple question we know
that generally speaking the way things
operate it's something which is called
you start off in the step number one you
go to two three you go you you move up
the ladder in life so what so what's the
process when you plant the tree so the
first three years we know you can't eat
it it's dedicated to Hashem what does
that spiritually mean don't eat it why
can't I eat it because the spiritual
service is Sur around we have to train
ourselves stay away from something
practice restraint what Happ on the
fourth year wow now the fourth year is
dedicated to Hashem it becomes KES it
becomes holy and what does that mean you
have to eat it in Jerusalem just like
for example on the same spiritual level
of like the eating on Shabbat and yum
which is all about positive actions okay
so that's so far going from the lower
level to the higher level me first three
years you don't eat it the fourth year
totally eat in Jerusalem and one second
what happens in the fifth year you're Li
to eat it everywhere
even during the week any any any way you
want and matter of fact most days of the
week is during the week so yeah you can
eat someone shabas but most eating is
during the week the six days of the week
so normally you should be going from the
from you you should be going you're not
eating it then you're eating in the
temple and now you can do whatever you
want with it it should have been you're
not eating maybe you can do whatever you
want and then you bring to the temple
you want to go you want to go up in life
not you went up and now you're going
down TR explains as follows your are
going up why because in the first three
years you didn't need it the fourth year
it's holy you'll need in Jerusalem the
fifth year is an upgrade what it well
how's it an upgrade you can e anywhere
and everywhere because it's a higher
level that we because the fifth year we
have the power yes it is materialistic
food but we have the power even during
the week to transform the physical world
like it says in everything you do you
have to know or even a step further
even it's a simple action do it for the
sake of hem that means even in a simple
action and even though it's lacking the
you're not necessarily thinking about
God but you're doing it for Hashem so
the same thing also that the so so that
just like you climbing a ladder where
literally materialistic World becomes a
a spiritual experience a 50 years of
spiritual experience because you're
elevating the physical world the same
thing also back to the point that the
soul comes in the body and the Soul
inspires the body
that the body is not the main thing the
main thing is to elevate the
world says it should be the will of hem
that by discussing these ideas we should
actually Merit to come to fulfill the
the the mitzvot the Commandments which
are which are connected to the land of
Israel in a little a little sense and
that's mhia comes and which should be
done in a complete way and and at that
time everyone msah comes everyone's
going to be in the land of Israel not
like the second temple and you can even
look into it whether in the first temple
of everyone was in Israel after the 10
tribes were exiled however mess is not
even a question everyone's going to be
there and there's especially that we're
talking about these ideas and we're
talking about the ideas the way they
explained in the in the internal part of
Tor the part of the Torah and we know
that's all about spreading the W Springs
mysticism and because the teaching came
was based on the teachings of the
Al and also there's an explanation from
the and says recently there was also
printed something a teaching from the M
on this and it's also connected to the
30 third day in
the and as we know is all about shearing
the teachings of of of the mysticism and
therefore the The Joy on that day is a
revealed Joy which and that's the
difference between the seventh day of a
and because the seventh day of initially
was was wasn't necessarily such a great
thing but afterwards became a happy day
however right away was a happy day and
not only that but on the
and it's also in the fifth week
of on the lowest level but on the other
hand it connects to the highest level
and we connects to the ultimate real Joy
without any limits and by by by learning
to this and and like teach learning and
connecting and having the tremendous we
will come to the true and complete
Redemption and like fin and
says we should have an everlasting
powerful so here's again another
beautiful discourse in the par about the
real power that we have to transform
ourselves to transform the world and
bring our soul back to its original
place the souls always connected and now
we also have the opportunity to bring
back the body as well have a great and
blessed week thanks so much for joining
our class
