Welcome to our class on we're going to
be learning a beautiful powerful
discourse from theb the name of the
discourse is called
the the Reb said this discourse
on that year there were two Adar and
that Shabbat blessed the first month of
Adar in the
year 43 years ago they went on to
certify and edit this discourse in honor
of the 22nd day of the month of the
anniversary of the re passing in the
year so again theic discourse is based
on the verse in this we portion where it
says these are the laws that you should
place in front of them and verse
continues on to
say when you acquire a um a Jewish life
so it's known the questions that are
asked in in the world of
mysticism discourses that when it says
in front of them what does that mean
plural multiple people and it doesn't
say specifically who it is on the other
hand is referring to not plural One
Singular and and it's being very very
direct so you go from plural indirect to
singular and direct also we have to
understand that brought down in t
t based on the
verse These are laws you should put in
front of them SOI says what does mean
place it comes from an expression of sea
like a treasure in know words something
which is not revealed the secrets of the
Tor you should give them the secrets of
the T one second we know m rules are are
laws which are comprehended in un simple
intellect even the intellect of the
nations of the world understand it so
what's the connection between simple
intellect and which is and what you're
saying is saying is that Simo was
referring to what the concealed part of
the Torah that's question number two
also we have to understand why is the
first law does it begin with talking
about the laws of a Jewish uh
servant say it's explained in the
discourses in in in in and he explains
as follows what is the idea of a Jewish
slave and idy spiritually what does that
mean spiritually in other words that
that's someone that serves hasem I'll
say in Hebrew I'll translate in a way of
he just accepts he does whatever he has
to do which is basically represented by
a slave a slave does the job he doesn't
understand it he doesn't want to
understand he doesn't want to enjoy it
he you're ask going to do something he
does it so in other words what is a
spiritual what is a Jewish slave
spiritually that means we serve hem we
accept we do whatever whatever whatever
we're asked to do so based on that we
can understand why the first mishbah the
first laws referring to the laws of of a
Jewish slave why is that cuz the Torah
is trying to hint to us that even the
mitv even the Commandments of mish which
are logical laws which we understand
that we make sense to us but even though
it makes sense you can think you going
to do it why because it makes sense we
have to do it because of because we're
doing because told us to do it just like
the idea of a slave so in other words
the reason why it begins with every
because even though we're dealing with
laws that we that make
butm wants us to do it with Acceptance
in other
words even though that these mitv are
called in Torah Torah of Tru that called
Mish their laws in other words therefore
if their laws means there's that we can
understand them and therefore we should
observe them because of the logic and
the reason but nevertheless the main
thrust of doing the Mitzvah should be
done in the way of so yes we do
understand it and yes we're supposed to
learn about it but when we do it we
should do it whym asked us to do so in
other words it applies a to the person
observing the Mitzvah in other words a
person doing the Mitzvah should do it in
a way that whatever hasm asked me he
name me I'm ready to do it that's from
the from the person but also the Mitzvah
itself why is that because all the
Commandments even the Commandments which
logically make sense the MIM what are
they they're basically the will of
Hashem and if it's will it's above logic
and this is what hasem so to speak
decreed that these these Mitzvah should
have a logic to it so know the logic is
like come secondary so back to the point
what we saying is that that the idea of
of of of acceptance is a the person
observing it and be the Mitzvah you
should look at the Mitzvah even though
when there's a reason the main reason is
what this is what hasem wants us to do
yes there's a reason but that's
secondary in other words and to add
says that this that we observe the mitz
of which means The Logical mitv we have
to do it in the way of we're accepting
it it applies even to to to the to the
rule part of it in other words that this
that we have to go ahead and observe the
mitz be causes a reason so that's
because hasem told us to do so um and
hem told us they should have a reason
have have a reason for it so a we're
doing it because hm told us but even the
reason it's also because tells there
should be a reason for it the main theme
has to be with doing what hasem wants
and you can say this is what it says
that's why it
says and know these are the laws so we
know it doesn't say these are the M it
adds of of the first letter before a is
and these are the laws what does it mean
and these are it's and to something else
it means it's these are the laws they're
also the laws and it's in addition to
the first ones what are the first ones
referring to the ones who received at
Mount Si so just like the first one
received just like the first laws we
received at Mount Si so the a these we
also received a mount what does that
mean that when we were at M M Tor when
we received the Torah Hari so then we
became servants
ofes and that's what he's saying is
these are also from SII in other words
just like when we stood at Mount Si we
basically whatever he wants to do going
to do so now also when you're giving us
the Lord that do make sense and even the
part that we have to do it for a reason
we have to do it in a way of we're doing
it because as accepting whatever ask us
to do and there so therefore that's why
the begins with which rules with the
rules of the Jewish slave why again to
remind us that even the Mitzvah of mish
which means logical laws are initial
approach and us the the initial approach
to learn it and to observe it has to be
done in a way of acceptance just like a
servant accepts he hey what's my job for
today I'm doing it the same thing also
that should be our initial approach to
all the mitz even the ones that make
sense he what what do you want me to do
when I'm ready to do it and say and an
addition an additional explanation in
other
words since the
main idea of serving Hashem what's the
ultimate serving Hashem when you serve
Hashem like like a like a non-jewish
slave in other words why is that because
first of all a Jewish slave after six
years he's free and um even someone that
wants to stay on he goes out in the
Jubilee year however when it comes to a
non-jewish slave on a spiritual level it
says that you're a slave forever in
other
words the the enslavement of the Jewish
slave even while he slave is not the
same level as a non-jewish slave so so
in order to hint that idea that even the
mitz that are are logical we have to do
it it um like like like as cabal to
accept so one second if that's the case
if the whole message is that we should
do it because hasm is asking us to do so
there's a deeper level of slavery
there's a deeper level of commitment and
that is what the non-jewish slave on a
spiritual level so if that's the case
why didn't it start with the Mitzvah of
the eani the non-jewish slave why did it
start all for the Jewish slave which
obviously we're going to there is going
to explain later on in theic discourse
and he says this so we're going
understand
this based on what teach us on the
verse These are the laws that you should
put in front of them so since it
says you should place it in front of
them it's laws you have to teach it it
should
say you should teach them but it doesn't
say teach them it says you're like
presenting again so what do we see from
here that it's not enough that you
should teach the students many many
times soly know it but you literally
have to put it in front of them that
they should get it they should
comprehend it it should resonate with
them so it's not enough because teaching
you can teach someone I'm teaching you
you get it you don't get it okay if you
don't get it you'll to figure it out
another time or you you'll have to spend
time meditating on it no
no means that you have to place it to
them that it resonates ah I got it it's
not just enough to teach but it has to
be something that they can receive and
they and they get it so based on that re
says this that it says afterwards
K when you acquire and we said before K
sickness is singular why is that because
the the to acquire is going on the part
where it says and know what did we just
learn that you have to place it into
them that the person gets it it means
the person's slow or not getting it you
have to spend time with that individual
till they get it in other words what
does that mean and the person is oh now
I got it when you got something means
you own it and that's why he
says that means they have to be able to
get it and that's why he
says because they have to an individual
because each individual has to acquire
it and like it's brought down in in
based on the verse that
says you
desire and in your
speak
you to day and night in other words so
first part of the verse is called the t
is called on the
name and afterwards after you do that
says
say in your Torah in other words so
initially yes Tor but ultim wants us to
learn it and comprehend that we should
get it on our own and that's why the
Torah when you learn it is called your
your
acquisition the person that's learning
Torah and when when does that happen
when you understand what you're learning
if you're just reading it and someone
just telling you stuff and you don't
take for a moment and think and try to
understand and grasp it then it doesn't
becomes yours and that's why he
says they to put it to them that means
they have you have to wait till they get
it and then says K in other words when
you teach them in a way that they that
it presents to them when they get it
then the tur becomes K it becomes it
becomes their they acquire it that then
it become then then it becomes
theirs you can say also that this that
after it says you should put it in in
front of them which means they should
get it and it goes on that means they
acquire becomes their because the the
the the the part where it says they have
to acquire it is an additional it's an
addition to the putting in front of them
and know till now we learned you should
put in Fr they have to get it and then
they acquire it so that's connected but
now he says no no that
and that that it's it's an additional
thing what does that mean they explains
as follows so seemingly we have to
understand because something's not
understood here why because this that
the toyra which is think about it's
infinite toy it's God's wisdom comes
into the intellect of the human being
and a finite human being sits and
studies and it becomes your toyra which
is a it's a huge downgrade seemingly on
one hand it's ter has it's infinite me a
simple human being could sit and learn
and comprehend it how does that work but
on the other hand what did we just learn
that when you learn it it becomes
yours so we're saying is that not just
it becomes yours it's actually a quality
in the Torah I mean it's fascinating
stuff it's t hem you learn it then it
becomes yours and that's actually a qu a
quality of Torah that you get it what
does that mean explains as
follows this that the toy
which is infinite wisdom of hem it's the
ter of hem comes down so to speak down
here we say down mean to a physical
level where God's concealed which means
even after it comes down into this world
and it goes into a human finite
brain guess what it Still Remains the
intellect of a of of God which is above
our ability to comprehend so it's f
fting it's God's Torah we learn it and
we get it but even once we get it it
doesn't become not God's Torah it's
still God's powerful Torah now so but
this that you comprehend it how can you
comprehend it because the the source is
and I'll say in Hebrew in
the the source of the T is the infinite
part of hem and and because it's sourced
in the infinite part it's not limited
it's higher it's lower and therefore
it's able to be down here so D is saying
a deep idea Torah is the infinite AEM
comes down our comprehension but
nevertheless it's still connect it's
still the the the pure Torah how is that
possible and he says exactly because ter
sourced in the infinite and an infinite
is higher and lower so because it's it's
it's it's not limited to higher and
lower so even when it comes down you can
comprehend it and it's still connected
to to the to infinite part of hasem in
other words
besides the fact that when the toyra
comes down here it remains connected and
it Remains the infinite infinite Torah
which means it's the wisdom ofes of and
on the contrary when it comes down and
we learn Torah and we comprehend and
comprehend so it actually gets has a has
a um upgrade and it has a certain
quality the way the way Torah was before
it came down there why is that because
when the t comes down here what gets
revealed that the source of
is the infinite part of so again is
infinite it comes down here in our
comprehension the question is how do we
how how could we how does it stay here
and still connected because connected
Bal so you see that once it comes down
in our brain it actually gets reveal
that is sourced in
the and the same thing also
that when a person learns T and you
comprehend the tah and it becomes your
Torah you can say listen this is what I
understand I comprehend it and even
after it becomes your idea your Tor that
you're learning you're comprehending it
remains pure as T hem and not only that
when tah becomes so to speak that you
get it and you understand it it becomes
even higher so to speak than terem why
is that because this that t becomes your
T when you learn T and in a way that
even after it becomes your T it's
nevertheless it remains connected to the
essence of the of T hasem and and it's
still yours why is that because what
gets revealed is the revelation of the
infinite part of hem Which is higher
than which connects and unifies the
person with hem as we
know the Jewish people inm was only all
one
now these two components in t in other
words on one hand it's
t and then the way T becomes the person
that learns it so generally speaking
that's the difference way trra is
sourced in the world of
aute and the way to comes down into the
world of Bri and like he brings in the
teachings of the AR and he says as
follows the reason why that toy if you
look into the T what's the first word
interbation the first letter is a b the
reason why it starts with a B because
the AL of is referring to way the to is
in the world of Al andus and the T that
we learn we
comprehend that's a t in the world of
Bri which is the B of Torah so the AL of
Tor is
T and the base of Torah is the Torah Bri
the one that we learn and it's
explaining
this that it said this what it says the
verse says
is referring
to that you us that's
the now it's known that the world
ofus has many names one of the names it
has is called acquiring like we say in
the
prayers so is referring to the
world and is a world
of why is that what what's the
connection the world of and the idea of
because what does that mean you acquire
something when you acquire something
you're not Crea you you're not forming
or creating or shaping anything new you
just acquiring something you're taking
something that before was concealed to
you it was revealed by somewhere else
and now you revealed it by you in other
words before you acquired it the thing
existed but it existed in someone else's
property so therefore for you was
concealed and when you acquired it got
revealed so the same thing also the idea
the world ofus since it's close to it's
only revealing inas was concealed Inus
and revealed before thanas soas is
connected what to the idea of of of of
Kenyan so that's why after it
says that you have to put the tur in
them where they get it so it
says what does that mean that even
though that when you learn to you have
to comprehend it you have to get it and
up to the point where it's called your
but the the learning has to be in a way
that when you that the T you're learning
you should realize that even after you
comprehend it you have to remember
there's still a tus there's still a to
in the world and that's why it says so
in other words it says which means you
have to comprehend it but remember
there's a world ofas which is called
Kenyan and ter exist in a high level So
based on
this explains now we'll understand why
the the original question we had
discourse why in the it says that tus is
referring to Sea which we said it's it's
it's it's concealed the concealed part
of why is that because in order that the
ter that we learn and that we comprehend
and we should after we comprehended we
should remain sensitive and connected to
the fact that
it's which means the which we said
before how does that happen that's when
you reveal the soul ofus what is the
soul ofus the level the soul called the
level
of pure Which is higher
than right is the pure part and to
reveal this part of of the of the Soul
which means the concealed part of the
Soul how do we do that so in order to
reveal that you get revealed that by
learning the concealed part of the Tor
and that's why it
says
because when you go ahead and T in a way
of the concealed part which means you
learn then you reveal the inner part of
your
soul the the internal part of your soul
and then what happens is even in the T
that you're learning which is which
you're comprehending it which you're
understanding it what gets felt is
the which is connected to the idea of
what
of okay now this explanation
of these are the laws that you should
put in front of them what does that mean
literally that Hashem is telling Mo
thatu should put the laws in front of
the Jewish
people so therefore when it
says and it says in a singular term
which is referring to who you should put
in front of them is also referring to
what does that mean and is like
this it's brought down in the Z any
time that it says a name of somebody
I'll say I'll quote
the anytime in the Torah that a name is
mentioned twice one after the other so
there there's a gap in between otherwise
it's going to be a runon so so for
example say you pause and again the only
time where there's no Gap is by Mo by
because when it says Mo there's no Gap
in between so why is like every all the
names there's a gap in between but when
it comes to there's no Gap in between so
it's brought down and explains that
Abu that when his soul came down into
this world and he even though he came
from the world ofus so they became there
was a change in the way he was in its
source in the world ofus
however even after he came down into
this
world still was revealed in this world
for
up to the point there's no there's no
difference and that's why there's no gap
between
so he wasas and then the way AB came
down to this
world was the way he was inas and the
way he was down here is the same way
that he was an
Aus and why is that that even when he
was down he was in the level of aus
because the source of the Soul ofu comes
from the circles and which is a above
all the levels of the way things flow
down from the top to the bottom Etc so
when you're dealing with the circle
which is
above so
there and the world it's all equal so he
comes from the circle therefore it's all
equal even when he came down to this
world he was still in the level of of
and that's why it
says you should give it to them they
should comprehend
it in other words and we said referring
to the World about
because to unify these two levels of T
the way tah comes down in our in our
comprehension and the in the world about
Kyon how how does that happen you have
to reveal a level which is above it and
who can do that and like we explained
before that the connecting of Torah of
our Torah and the T of the T Bri and the
tah of of of of comes through revealing
the the infinite part of
now this explanation
of which we said is going on you should
put place in front of them but then they
have to you have to remember it's so he
like to connect you like to connect this
in the
simple reading of the verse that is not
only going into what we explain now it's
going
on but actually K is going on to what it
says afterwards ever in other words what
happens is when a person learns to in a
way of which means you real you're
connecting to the to and other words you
you and you're connecting to the fact
that it's not your Torah even though you
understand it you realizing
it's so then you're learning is in a
whole different level of acceptance B
just like the the acceptance of a of a
of a of a servant to its master in other
words like this till now
explained
comprehension
now he's now he's moving over from to
when you're connected to then what
happens is then you learn with proper
acceptance just like a just like a
servant accept connects to his master in
other words even though when a person
learns we don't want you to throw your
intellect into the garbage on the
contrary when you learn you have to
understand what you're learning you have
to understand it you have to comprehend
it you have to struggle with it you have
to meditate on it now when you
comprehending is that throwing you in
the garbage that's bringing you to the
table no you you have a brain and you
you have an existence and you have way
the way you understand things and maybe
different than someone else's and how
much more so when a person is learning
with it with with the learning you're
owning it that means you're really
really owning it you have an opinion
about it but nevertheless when a person
feels that the Tyra even after it came
down into his intellect what does he
realize after all said and done it's
still ter a
ter which means it's the intellect of
which is much deeper and much higher
than intellect of human beings now this
that the person does comprehend it
because God's not
limited he's not limited in any limits
not even
a an infinite limit and therefore you
you can have both you can have infinite
and you can have finite in other words
which means that the the the finite
human being's intellect could comprehend
the infinite intellect
ofes so in other words this that you
understand ter with your finite
intellect it doesn't negate the idea of
having acceptance because this that I
understand ter my
intellect and yes it's my tur my my
comprehension it's not because of
me but that's because since Hashem could
do anything and he gave me the power to
understand toally
So based on this re says now I'll
understand the famous teaching K where
it says in reference of to it
says the Yoke of Torah in other words
seemingly the MIT what is the mitah of
learning Torah the MIT when it says you
should learn Torah you have to learn tah
it's not that you should go ahead and
nullify your intellect but on the
contrary you should use your intellect
to understand T and also we know the
rule is that a
person that learns T has you have
understand it the way you understand it
you can't say oh Hashem says or my
teacher says no you have to understand
it because Tor is not in heaven and
Hashem smiles and he says no no no my
children you you you you you were
successful in in in putting out your
opinion so what does it
mean that you should have the Yoke of
Torah yoke means you're you're just
accepting you're not using your
intellect it's like almost they want two
things from us are opposites one hand
they want you to understand and one hand
they want you to accept accept how do
the two go together which am I supposed
to be doing so the explanation is as
follows when a person
knows and feels and
recognizes that the T you're learning is
who turet it's the
T now God gave you permission that you
should learn and you should come up with
your own ideas and hasm is actually
says why is that CU hm is not limited
hhm doesn't get offended if you have
opinion and therefore he Hashem is so
great that he yeah you can come with
your own ideas but this that you
understand ter with your intellect and
the way that you're putting your effort
to into it that and you do but you still
realize that Hashem it's ultim the t is
coming from Hashem and you you're you're
you're humbled and accepted to the tah
just like a
servants willing to do whatever the
master wants now but on the other hand
this is T was given to you because
that's the will of hasem so in other
words it's a fine line in other words on
one hand yes you have to learn you have
to comprehend and hasm wants you to use
your comprehension but on the other hand
real ter hem but when it's term it
doesn't stop you from using your
intellect but you realize that the
intellect you have gave it to you hasem
wants you to
learn and he like to connect this where
it says in K based on the
verse These are the laws so we said that
it should say these are the laws what's
the a and these other laws so he's
saying means the V that's in addition to
what that says before and it's just like
the ones from before came from Mount Si
these are also from SI what does that
mean that the power that we have to
unite the two opposites in other words
that on one hand we comprehend it that
we understand it but on the other hand
it has to we have to fully comprehend it
and something that we have to totally
understand and then the Torah becomes my
Torah so to speak but nevertheless we
have to be we have to learn ter in a way
of K which means that we're recognizing
it
terem like we said before it's the ter
of the world of atus and not only that
we have to learn in a way like an Eid
accepting this was all given to us the
power to do the two opposites was given
to us on SI why because over there at
Mount Si you also the two opposites you
had the fact that we were we existed and
you have the component that you're in
accept acceptance like the alter
explains look
that the reason why to was given a Hari
which is basically on one hand it's a
mountain but the again hand it's the
lowest of the old mountains because on
high Cena you have the two opposites on
one hand you have the component of a
mountain which means it's elevated it's
a somebody and the other hand you have a
low Mountain which means basically it's
humbled so that's the real power and
that's really the the two opposite that
exist in learning to on one end you are
are comprehending it by one hand you're
total acceptance now we all know what it
says in kazal
that talud is great because it brings
you to do the
mitv debate what's greater learning t or
doing mitzah what is what's the what's
the answer that tal is greater but not
in its own right because it causes you
to do the
mitz say you can say that by taking
these two opposites on one hand it's our
existence our mind our comprehension but
the other hand we're accepting the fact
that hm's Torah which exist in learning
Torah so the same thing also applies
with place cuz since talud brings you to
do Mitzvah just like in talmud you have
the two components the same thing
applies in Mitzvah as well however when
you learning to so what's the natural
thing is it's my understanding my my
comprehension so what's the
Revolutionary idea that I'm accepting
accepting the fact it comes from all the
gifts come from hem now so even though
I'm learning with my comprehension I
exist but we're learning with
acceptance on the other hand when it
comes to doing a mitzvah so by Mitzvah
what's the natural thing you're doing
hashem's will so the the the
Revolutionary idea over there in the
Mitzvah is that you're somebody doing
the Mitzvah in other words even though
why you doing any Mitzvah any Mitzvah
you doing told you to do it what does
Mitzvah means it's a command hashm said
to do so and you're doing in the way of
like a servant whatever hasm wants I'm
doing but the acceptance has to be in a
way not where you don't exist but no my
existence is that I'm doing what hm
wants in other words this that I'm a
servant of Hashem I'm not being forced
to be a servant of hem but I'm
choosing I get the opportunity I'm
choosing to do what Hashem wants and I
actually have enjoyment and have energy
from
it two powerful points here by learning
Torah on one hand the natural things I'm
learning I understand that I exist but
I'm accepting by Mitzvah the natural
things I'm doing what hm wants but even
though I'm doing wants no no but I am
somebody that I'm choosing to do what hm
wants and I love doing it and I have
enjoyment from doing it I have energy
from
it everything you can say that the re
you can say that the
reason that the beginning of the oldie
the all the
rules all the rules of begin it
says these are rules you should put in
front front of them which is referring
to um learning t
like we said before it's about placing
they should learn Torah not like all the
the Commandments in Torah that starts
off speak to the Jewish people or
command the Jewish people and doesn't
say anything about learning why is that
because this that the beginning of
of which is talking about learning T and
it talks about the idea of a servant is
to to to hint to us that when it comes
to doing all the mitv we have to do it
in a way of we're willing to accept
whatever hasm wants and since we're when
we accept to do what wants all the mitz
how do you do it you don't just do it
like a robot you do it with energy you
do with with passion with pleasure so
the same thing also the beginning of the
par talks about learning Torah that from
the enjoyment and the pleasure and the
energy of learning ter from here comes
in energy and enjoyment even in the
level of the ultimate goal is that even
when you're doing whatever wants he you
have to take away from here that you
should do it what with with energy with
with pleasure So based on this says now
we'll understand why the beginning of
the Torah portion begins off with what
with an ever iy a Jewish slave because
we asked before why isn't talk about a
non-jewish slave and it it's like even
though the main servant ultimate service
is an N Jewish slave and explained
because the
completion of serving which means you're
you're accepting you're doing what hasm
wants is ultimately it's when we serve
hasem and I'll say it in Hebrew and I'll
translate because it's important you're
doing it with which would deep pleasure
and with and a lot of good energy and
that's that's specifically by a Jewish
slave not necessarily A non-jewish Slave
so the message over here is that when we
doab we should do it with with energy
and with and with deep pleasure and
every say we're going to understand this
based on a uh of powerful teaching of
the AL in a discourse which is which is
called when a person sells his daughter
for for for for a maid servant and in
reference this this discourse at the
alar of the Tau so the his grandson that
says in reference this discourse and
I'll say in Hebrew it says it's a very
very honorable cic
discourse and it speaks about um the
different levels of the servants on a
spiritual level and it connects it to
the
idea like explained in Tanya about three
different types of of uh people which is
a sadik someone's a righteous person a
Russ or someone that's wicked and a b an
inter intermediate person and he
explains that these explains and again
some comments on it that these three
level these three different types of
servants that talks
about
an A non-jewish Slave an a Jewish slave
and a a Jewish female uh slave is
referring to three different levels on a
spiritual level of serving Hashem and he
explains as follows what is a non-jewish
slave spiritually what does that mean a
non-jewish slave means that the will and
the pleasure that a non-jewish slave has
spiritually is in Hebrew it's called
prel he doesn't want to do anything he
doesn't want any responsibility he
doesn't want any commitment he doesn't
want to have any schedules I just want
to do what I want to do when I want to
do it and like it says
clearly what is a real servant the
highest level of servant he just wants
to be free for all he wants to do
whatever he wants in other words what
and what gives that type of slave
pleasure no responsibility no commitment
Hebrew it's called pre no yoke no
responsibility
now so on a spiritual what does that
mean practically it means I don't want
to serve hm I don't want to do anything
hashm wants me to do so when does he
serve hasem the only time he'll serve
hem is if he has
to whether it's someone punishing him um
what does it mean spiritually a
punishment that what does that mean
spiritually that when all the Godly Soul
starts shining in a very very powerful
way so he's going to go ahead and do
what he has to so in EV Kanani
spiritually he doesn't want to do
anything the only reason will do it is
because he's forced to do it on a
spiritual level and the ne says hey this
is what we're doing
and he explains over there that umani in
discourse is also referring to the idea
of a rush someone that's
wicked and life is good for him why
because just like literally when you
have a a servant that um it's possible
the Ser the servant will sin against his
master but in the other hand when the
master takes out the whip so to speak or
the stick and hits him he goes he does
what he has to so the same thing also
applies to serving Hashem it means even
though his personal pleasure he rather
do nothing and he rather rebel against
hem but since afterwards all of a sudden
The Godly Soul starts shining which
means it creates guilt so now the person
um uh feels bad and he regrets what he
did um but but he still remains a slave
in other words it's not like all he
became a sadic he doesn't want to do
anything he wants to do what he wants to
do but listen he's embarrassed The Godly
Souls revealed so he shows up and he
does what he has to but the internal
part didn't change on the other hand
even B the intermediate and there's two
levels in aan we're talking the lower
level of B it also goes into the
category of of a non-jewish slave what
does that mean that means even because
aain the lower level of a is even though
he didn't do any sins in his life but
nevertheless his
will and his pleasure is a materialistic
Pursuits and on the contrary he serves
hasm only because he has to and the the
revelation of The Godly Soul forces him
not to do bad and to do good so a
certain level the lower level of a is
like
the okay this a recap
so is like the r and which means zero
interest in do anything the only reason
I do it they're forced on a spiritual
level when The Godly Soul shows up and
says hey we got to serve God okay it
goes along but has zero interest
emotionally will and pleasure then you
have the evid dely what's the the the
Jewish slave on a spiritual level that
means the will and the pleasure is more
actually want to serve AEM it wants to
serve hem now this that it just wants to
do whatever it wants which
means pleasure materialistic Pursuits
it's actually
painful so really the every every wants
to do whatever hasem wants it also has
other desires and that part is painful
painful for the ever of read now even
though what do you mean it's painful so
how come you're enjoying materialistic
life
because really doesn't want to do it and
actually it's bitter over it and that's
really the life of the the higher level
of B it know yes in thought speech and
action does what it has to and it and it
struggles and but but it's not
transformed yet and the highest level is
what is the the the female Jewish slave
and that's connect to the idea of sadic
what does that mean that their emotions
were transformed into hly Holiness in
the world of cabala it's called is it's
totally transformed Which is higher than
escapia practicing restrain like
explained over there at length in that
classical cic discourse of the alter
which I recommend you
have time to study it's a really really
fascinating discourse now so therefore
that's
why what what what do we speak about we
speak about the acquiring of a Jewish a
Jewish slave a both a male slave and a
female slave why is that because the
idea of
acquiring requiring a Jewish slave and
when someone sells his
daughter um as a Jewish slave so what
does that mean
so and also the idea of of of a
non-jewish slave like like it speaks
about acquiring a non-jewish slave and
where it says it doesn't go out like the
like the regular slave it's the
non-jewish slave is only mentioned in
passing and only like in negative way
why because this at the beginning of par
speaks about the laws of a slave why is
that because in this para which is
coming into continuation of of of
receiving the
Torah as we said the just like the first
ones are from so is referring to
generally speaking of serving hasem and
it has to be in a way of just like a a
servant serves hem and since the serving
hasm has to be done in a way of and with
pleasure and enjoyment so therefore it
speaks about mainly in this week's Torah
portion of the the the the um the Jewish
slave and both the male and the female
Jewish slave why is that because both of
those serve AEM with with energy and
with pleasure first he talks about the
the slave that serves hasm the E the Jew
the Jewish slave which is referring to
he said the level of a bany and why now
why does he start with with the
EV that order because the EV is
referring to the B and we know the ban
that's that's standard and like the AL
writes the AL creates a standard that
ban is that's the standard way anyone
could live and anyone can live that type
of Lifestyle why because everybody could
control their thoughts and their speech
and their action and you have to work on
the on the internal part and after he
speaks about the level of the B he goes
on to the female Jewish slave which is
referring to referring to the level of
sadic because this level also applies
every every every single individual like
the Ala says clearly in t
t that even though you feel like you're
not going to reach that level but you
never unless you do it to fulfill the
the oath that you were taken that you
should be
AIC now you could say that this that he
speaks at least you know in bypass about
also but but a non-jewish slave because
there's something some power that the
non-jewish slave has which it's called
the scafa cuz a non-jewish slave really
has no interest why is it doing it it's
practicing the strength like the AL the
AL writes in in that discourse that even
a holy sadic also needs to do the avoid
of a non-jewish slave because they the
non-jewish slaves quality of the scafa
is a very very powerful quality practi
restra restraint and that's why it says
a person shouldn't say I can't
transgress cuz then you you're you're
missing out the whole opportunity of of
the scaf you restrained but y say really
I could sin but I'm going to practice
the restraint because what can I do hasm
wants me not not to do it and other
words why do you have to say I really
want to do it so that you should have
the power what of escapia of esap
practic restraint
now say the point out this powerful idea
that we're learning from the eani from
the non-jewish slav about a scof
practicing restraint that is scaia is
referring to the quality of aafia the
quality of practice through restraint in
other words cuz even though when you say
I I want to sin hello what does that
mean you're so far from God God do you
want to sin because why are you saying I
want to sin because Hashem says Hashem
said I shouldn't be a robot I should
tell you truthfully that I really want
it and what and what do I mean by that
I'm saying I want it and therefore I
actually have a desire for it so why do
I have that desire so that I should be
able to pull the energy of a scafa and
do opposite what what I want what I want
to do so based on this we'll understand
this that the the work of
aad is not not because he's forcing
himself that tadic naturally loves to do
what hasem wants so it also applies to
the level of esaia practicing restraint
in other
words even though it's real es scaia
it's real practicing restraint because
this you say I really want to do it
which means you're Awakening within
yourself a desire to do something
against h
but you practice restraint not to do it
and that's their
pleasure because the pleasure is that
now I can do the will of hem and I can
practice a scap now it's
known that the when a person practices
restraint that means your person's
tempted and they really want to do it
they say no I'm not doing it which is
not easy so when a person practices a
scop restrained you actually draw in
much higher than the level of
transformation
like it says clearly in
the when you practice restraint so
then the level ofic that is all over
that that comes into the world when a
person practice restrained you draw in
the level of his stolic into into the
world and different you can say that
that when you draw in through the
aoap and sadic does it
and then the sca you becomes their
enjoyment actually by It's s it's even
higher so he's saying is like this when
a person is
tested and they practice restraint scaia
wow you're BR in heavy light a doesn't
have the test so he temps himself really
I should want to and then he practice
restraint he actually draws in something
much more powerful why is that let me
explain to
this the re the the the the the the
reason that when a person practices is
scafa you're drawing in powerful energy
because when a person forces himself to
go against his will and against his
nature so therefore you're drawing in
much powerful energy than more than it's
more your nature you're drawing much
higher
level and even the light which is very
very high which from your nature it's
you can't reveal it then what happens is
when you go against your nature you
actually draw in from above your
nature and therefore you can say that
when a person does aafia by force so to
speak which is opposite your pleasure
and then it comes into revealed way
you're practicing a straight the real
way and you bring it into into your
nature and you're doing it so to speak
you're forcing yourself so therefore it
comes from the external
will but when a person does a scof you
because that's their
pleasure then you bring in from the
level of ring and the level of Ty so re
saying is very very powerful based on
what causes you to practice es scaia
that's what you draw from if you're
drawing it you're being forced to
practice a scaia so you you bring in
from from external place but on the
other hand when you practice a scaia
coming from a deep
place from a Tiner place you actually
draw in from a much higher level so this
is what it says
these are the rules that you should put
in front of them and we we learned them
several times means it's coming to add
the A and to add on what we've said
before what does that mean that the
drawing down the toy into rules into
laws that we comprehend in our
intellect and especially that we that we
have the power that we can learn to in a
way that we can get it we can comprehend
it we can understand it and up to the
point we can say oh this is my Torah
this is my understanding so we're
actually adding onto what before why
because when it comes
down into our intellect and we're
connecting to the most deepest level and
we're bringing tur down we're actually
connecting like we learned in the
beginning of discourse to the tur the
way it's infinite and Bal and ad says
when a person learns T up to the point
where the T becomes your t so you
actually add in Torah even more why
because when a person goes ahead and
brings down tah to the level of
comprehension and laws and it comes down
to this it comes down comes down to this
world so what comes down to this world
not your intellect it's hm's ter so the
ter of comes out to the
world however the union of the wisdom of
Hashem which is beyond human
comprehension which gets connected with
the with the comprehension of a human
being where does that come from it comes
from he said the infinite light of of of
of
the which is above so in other words the
revelation of the
infinite the infinite B has no limit is
only there to give you power for
the that should connect with our human
intellect but but the the infinite part
doesn't get re revealed itself but when
you go ahead and you learn Torah and the
Torah becomes your Torah you get
comprehended so then what happens is the
what gets drawn down to Torah the
revelation of the infinite part of hasem
itself gets gets drawn down so by us
learning Torah and comprehending Torah
and realizing it's coming from doing the
two opposites we're actually bringing in
a much more powerful part in this into
this world I like to explain theic
discourses that this that the tus called
to
your Torah when you learn it why is that
because when a person
learns means for the sake of sake of the
T not for any agenda so you actually
bring in the revelation of
the and that's why the Torah gets
considered on your name because you were
the one that brought in the Torah into
this world and you can say that's why it
says which means these but and these the
V is coming to add the addition is
powerful the addition that takes place
in the T and A means these revealed and
means that you're adding in tah that
means you're bringing in the into into
revealed way that you're literally
bringing in the infinite part of hem not
only as a source of a power but this
powerful light actually get gets
revealed in a beautiful way there was
giving a beautiful translation a means
revealing adding in that you're actually
bringing in
the and the verse continues off to
say that you will put in front of them
so aser means that you'll put in front
of them so the re says AER also comes
from the word
of and Ty tremendous blessings and
tremendous pleasure and tremendous
satisfaction so in other words the idea
of which means and a bringing in the Bal
in a revealed way which basically you're
adding in you're bringing in the
revelation of the infinite part of hem
that comes from a level of a and
pleasure and this that a
person
learns in a way of you're accepting the
Torah which means you're accepting
you're connecting to to's T and that so
how if since naturally you're learning
you're comprehending how you accepting
so we learned before that's the of esaia
Cu even though it's not natural to
accept I understand it this way but you
bring in the the the the powerful tool
of esaia while learning and since your
acceptance is in a way it doesn't
totally knock you out on the contrary
you realize that that that it's your
Torah but accepting you're connecting to
the infinite part of Torah just like the
power
of by which means that the that the the
practicing restraint becomes their
pleasure and therefore same you learn
tah The practiceing Strain that becomes
your pleasure and therefore you bring in
from the lever of
of a which idea what
of finish he says as follows that when
we learn in a way of a
tremendous we're understanding it we're
bringing it from the infinite
part we're bringing connecting to the
world ofus with acceptance that means
we're learning Toyo we're comprehending
it
but nevertheless we have the level of
accepting like like a servant and in a
way that the revealed when you learn the
revealed part
of is in the same level like you're
learning the part like we said like we
brought from
the like which is a treasure so we learn
in that way that means we're learning
with our comprehension but on the other
hand we're realizing it's A's tah and we
do it from a place of the scaion and
through that we Merit to revelation of
the toy of mhia which we know
is we're g to have a whole new level of
and when is that going to
happen in the Redemption the true
Redemption the complete Redemption
through finishes
offu M very quickly in our days in a
literal way so here you have a beautiful
discourse about the power of learning T
the way to learn the way literally we
have the power to bring in the most
powerful energy of into the world world
and by bringing it into the world we
ultimately create like says will Merit
to have the Gil of the Tora mashia and
and God willing will be Ines our next
class will be
Ines have a great and blessed week
