The inner purpose of concealment is revelation באתי לגני אחותי כלה Kabbalah Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're going to be learning a beautiful powerful deep and classic discourse in the Reb the name of the discourse is called said this discourse which that year it was the 11th day of the month ofat in the year 40 years ago so again the discourse is based in the verse in the prophets from King Solomon that says BOS I came to my garden my sister my bride and rebba says he brings from the previous rebba who was celebrating his yard site onat in in theic discourse that came out in honor of his yard site in the year so he brings what it says in the medish on this verse that the verse says legani to my garden what does it mean to my gardeni the place where I would my main stay was there before what does that mean that the main the main dwelling of hem was in the materialistic physical world as is called in the world of where where God Is concealed and unfortunately by the terrible acts that took place throughout Generations so first left the earth into the first heaven and then to the second the third until it went up to the seventh heaven afterwards there were seven righteous people and by them doing their Good Deeds they brought the the down from the seventh heaven to the sixth to the fifth to the fourth to the third Etc until it was by the first heaven and who was the seventh in order he went ahead and we know that the seventh is the most beloved and he brought the back down from the from the overall idea of heaven heaven down into the into into this world other words even though BR down one level but it was a level that came from a whole different Zone from the level of the zone of Heaven down to the Earth and there says this is the the spiritual work of sadik and righteous people in general like it says in the Torah will inherit the land and they'll dwell they'll dwell in it and that's the the spiritual work of every single person why we just said everybody's considered a everyone's righteous what's our work our work is to bring down to draw down the down to this world why is it called because it dwells it dwells down in the lowest places like the alar explains at length in T and to dwell we in the materialistic Earth down here in this physical world where do we have the power to do this so this we receive from because we know M brought down the down to this world like we learned before by building the Mish and the building the Tabernacle and the same thing also through the mo raenu of every generation and the mo that's with in every single person that that that we we're infused with the idea that um that that should be like it says in the ter what is Hashem asking from you what hasem is asking you to be in all of hem in other words as we know that or for for m is a small thing and therefore every single person since we're connect to M to have an or that's a simple thing for us to do and therefore every single person's work in this world is to make a mish to make a tabernacle to make a dwelling place forem to the point that should dwell down this world in every single individual and more specific what is our what is our what is our specific task to do the task is is to transform Darkness into light transform the dark darkness of the physical world into light and that's what we we do is we take the falsehood of the world and we know world comes from conce conment and that's also the idea of falsehood and we make from this falsehood and from the concealment we make planks for for the Tabernacle and we know that falsehood which is Hebrew it's called Shaker is the same letters as Kish a plank and we transform the falsehood of the world to the planks that were in the Mishka and the Tabernacle to Tabernacle to make a dwelling place for Hashem now this spiritual work that the Jewish people have to transform the falsehood of the world to make the planks of the Mish this Aid this work is is connected for self- sacrifice why is that because a complete work is when we do it in a way of aoid of Abus in a way of like a servant we're we're totally connected doing what hasem wants just like for example we knowu M was known as an Evon he was a trusted servant of hem and he also had the quality of an EV he was a simple Serv servant and like explained at length in the classic cic discourse in in the year tough and more than that the fact is that Jewish people are children of hem and we the work of a of a child that a child does something for a parent you also do it on self-sacrifice and on the contrary says more than the S self-sacrifice of of a of of a servant and like it says in the Z and it's brought down and explained like I'll say in Aramaic that the way the way a a son is dedicated to to his parent and that's basically the the essence of our work to make a dwelling place for Hashem down here we do it in the way of self-sacrifice there's nothing that we wouldn't do to make hasem dwell hm's presence felt down into this world and that's why the Jewish people are called cem We're called the army of hem why cuz what's an Army Army an army is someone that goes on self-sacrifice you're willing to do whatever it takes so that Hashem should be felt in in this world goes on to explain he show just follows that inic discourse he explains that just like it's with a war of a a king made out of flesh and blood so the same thing also will understand with the war of the the soldiers and God's Army that we are we we are at War to do what to transform the falsehood of the world to make it a dwelling place for Hashem and and therefore the king gives over the success of the war and in order we should be successful to make this place a Godly place he gives us the greatest most precious treasures and something which is so so precious he releases to the soldiers so we can be successful in our in our war as we know a king has Treasures that he that he collected he collected his parents collected his ancestors collected which is very very special and they're hidden and not they're hidden that no one ever saw them in other words not only doesn't he use them he doesn't even reveal them to other people people don't even know to exist but in order to be successful in the war he's willing to open up all the treasures and give it out with pleasure and total abundance and he gives it to the people fighting the war now even though one second he doesn't give it to the soldiers he gives to the people in charge but the but the fact is he gives the people in charge the ultimate intent is that it should go to the foot soldier foot soldiers fighting the war so that we can be successful in the in the war and just like it's in the parable the same thing also applies in the reality like it like it says which means that in order to be successful in the war in the parable he's willing to give all the treasures and the same thing also when it comes to the Jewish people's War like it says our success we're going to be successful in our war so therefore Hashem gives us all the most powerful treasures and he gives it to the to to to to the to the soldiers through obviously the generals and it's explained what is this treasure that hasm is giving us that treasure is called The Treasure of Y that we in of hem and like we know it says everything comes from hasm besides y that's something we have to work on but this treasure is given to all the people F in the war that we can make this world a dwelling place and a holy place for hasem now this that the Jewish people have this new title we're in the army of hem and we do our work and we do our work like we learned before in the way of M sacrifice and the same thing also the treasure that we receive so when says when is that more specific where do we find that specifically in this generation the generation which was called D the generation of M the generation before mhia comes because the the the the work today of self sacrifice is the strongest than ever because today we cause it such a concealed World such darkness in the world such challenges in the world so therefore brings out our self-sacrifice to Hashem and like the alar explains in T and many many places based on the verse that says in the Tor that M was the most humblest person that existed and why was m so humble so the alar explains because of generation cuz he saw the self-sacrifice that that we have to have today that we're willing to withstand against anything that's stopping us and holding us back and especially the worst opposition that we have is people that make fun of us and we're not afraid so M was humble even to our generation and that's why when we do our work we come to to to fulfill the mission of making the dwelling place for Hashem down here like the verse says clearly in the T make to me a dwelling place and I will I will I will I will dwell there which is referring to the first first temple the Tabernacle the first temple the second temple and also including the Third Temple which is going to be in the future like the ramam says that the the Mitzvah of making all the MD we learn from the Mish the Tabernacle that made like it says the MD and he continues on the r and explains that it also applies the the to the building that we're going to build in the future the Third Temple even though it's written incal but nevertheless it's not it's it doesn't have all the details and he says the the people in the second temple built a second Ben and and and similar to that is what's written in ycal so what do we see that this building in the Third Temple is going to be a lot like the second temple and the fact is that the Third Temple we know is is is a b it's a true Everlasting building because it's an everlasting building that's going to last forever and how much more so um um from the idea that the the the Tabernacle ofu built because we know M everything does is Everlasting but the Third Temple is going to be obviously much greater and truly Everlasting and this third Temple is going to be built like says very very quickly and in our days literally by doing our actions and our work as a soldier and God's Army in the fashion of mysterious just likeu in a way that we're willing to go and self sacrifice and to be a dedicated servant a true servant of hem and a simple servant hem and therefore because we are doing the work of hem in a in in a way of mes Hashem gives us this powerful treasure the most powerful precious treasure and it's where we who he give it to specifically to the generation Our Generation The Generation that's standing on the footsteps of coming Messiah is known called okay so now we know that we're getting this powerful treasure so says understand and we want to know what this treasure is so he brings in the discourse what it says and I'm going to quote in Hebrew I'll translate it the light the infinite light of which that's the treasure on high so it says it goes high and high without any limit that's what the zor says and after he explains in the previous chapter which we discussed at length last year what does it mean the infinite part is L goes to the lowest level and that we explained again at length last year so he starts to explain in the chapter for this year which is chapter 15 which is the the chapter which is connected this year because this year we we learn know D said this this is the second when D said this was the second cycle of learning the discourse and because it was twice it's called double for for a lot a lot of blessings a lot of Salvation that after we learned it already the first time uh because there was 20 chapters we first it learned it once and as we know it says that when a person reaches the age of 20 you reach a certain Milestone because you have the the the the ability to to to sell and and buy and sell you your your parents uh possessions but so after we finished the first time complete now we started to learning the second time um and this year course was the 15th of the second time so in this in this piece he's going to explain what does it mean that the infinite light is higher and higher and again if you know cabala higher and low it doesn't mean physically higher spir it means talking spiritually Etc so we're going to talk about what does it mean and he explains over there that just like when we say l what does it mean that means it's able to go down and it's able to reveal itself and it's able to spread out without any limit like we explained again in in the previous chapter and in last year the same thing also when it says that o exist in the highest levels so it means on the highest levels of the concealment of the light which means the simum the concealment which basically means it goes into a concealment of a concealment of concealment so other to recap what D saying is before we go further so we don't so we we stay focused what D explaining is what are we talking about we're talking the big treasure that we're going to get that we get to be successful in the war what's the treasure says the infinite part of so last year he explained that what does it mean it's able to spread out into the lowest places everything was any any place where God Is concealed so it's able it's able to go there here we're talking about was referring to the the concealment process the way it's concealment process the Timon process and the highest levels is there and that power gives us okay so now we're going to explain what does this mean which we said is the idea of the concealment and the he explains as follows he says explain this is even though in it says that where was the first ssum which is called in Hebrew I'll say in Hebrew I'll translated so the first which is classically known in in the works of and the works of is classically known as theum the contraction in the in the infinite light that um that uh that filled um the whole area and because it was the whole light was there in that that space that you can't have a world because is full of full of light that's the first called the first Simpson the simpsona means the light filled the space and there have to be a contraction so that you can create the world that's Point number one so then he says but nevertheless even though that's what we learned and here the re is going to engage in a re revolutionary idea which is only spoke with dealt with many in very few places in but he says nevertheless it's brought down inab and it's also explained in and there was pad like very very you know few interesting places that even before it's called the first Simpson the first contraction I mean if you say something is the first mean it's nothing before but nevertheless says no even before we call the first ssum there there's a there's a contraction beforehand I mean think about that's mindblowing a little bit you're saying this is the first contraction then no no before there was also more contractions okay and we're going to learn about that and every explains and he says as follows well the stand is based on what it's known besides the fact that when you have something which is called means light light comes from a source of light what is the source of light Mo so MO is the source of light and light is the ray that comes from it so besides the fact you can compare a ray of light to the source of light in other words you can't there's no comparison this is the source of light and this is only the ray of light but there was a step deeper even the light itself so you have the way the light comes out and it spreads out um in in where where it gives off light you can't compare that the way the light is in its source so two points saying is number one is you can't compare light to the source of light and there the second point is you can't compare the light it's outside the source to the light is inside the source and so what do you see from here that that since even in the light of before the Sim before the contraction so there was there was there was there's a con of light what does that mean light that means light it's a revelation of a source there's something which is called light it means there a source and there's light and we talk before the and especially that the Revelation was in a way that this light that came that was coming out from the source is a light that from there you have the possibility and the ability obviously after that to create the world and like it s understood what it says in that when you had the infinite light that filled the whole empty space you couldn't create the world so what does that mean that the revelation of the light has a connection with the world if you're saying you have the lights full and can't and there's no room to create the world means that means that the world is possibly created we have a problem we have a technical issue so therefore in order the for the light to come out from its original Source there has to be AUM so saying is that Simpson's not only in the Simpson reine but even the light that exists before comp way it comes out from its source there's also AUM there okay and based this will understand something very very powerful with the with the what the um the by the to point out that because it's it's a classical there brings in teachings Al Etc so you'll see different he brings throughout the M he brings from different R to bring their energy into discourse so he brings with says in his classical works of of that in the level that there was the the the which is the contraction light so he says that I've seen um from from from his teacher his great teacher Etc his grandfather that he called this level he called it what means means that the option that something has an ability to to have something come from there you know potential means ability or potential so he says seemingly seemingly we know and it's explained elsewh this that the symptom the contraction was only in the light what type of light in the light that's revealed and like it's explained in discourse from in that the symtom the contraction was in the light that filled the empty space not in the essence of the light but only in the revealed part you have the revealed part of light in the essence so seemingly it's only in the revealed not in the essence so how does he how does how how do the two go together that he says this level that the Simpson was one is only the revealed part it was in was in the potential so he says based on we just learned before that that the ssum is also there's a t before the that was the Revolutionary part that not means the first one so you have like a block in your head before that there's no timum there no no there is a timum before in other words where's there tum the timum is in the light the way it's with which within the source of light not the way the light comes out as a as a shining light but the way it's in the source of light that and through there from that place you have where gets drawn out and that's why he calls this light which is in its source a a potential why because the light that's in the source um like in the parable is considered potential like he explains over there at at length Okay so what we learned so far you have the Tsum reine then you have they saying the Tsum beforehand with the light not the way it's shining but the way it's in the source and that's why he explains what the what the says that this this source is called and even in there there was there was now what says even this which is in the level of potential way the light is in the source it's still not enough that there should be the infinite light that's fill fill fill that full place up to the point you can't create the world so what he he explains as follows he explains and again like I mentioned before he's going to bring from different to bring in the energy of of old and the now he brings a teaching from the from the the second and in his classical work of he explains that we need to have an understanding in the details and every single detail of say St the world goes down and the world is Created from one level to the next that's Point number one in the S but we also need to know an understanding in all the details of the of all the contraction of light and over there that discourse he explains that even before the which we're calling it the first there's three levels beforehand and he gives an example of the the concept of but we call that he has a desire to do good in other words how did hem choose to create this world why did create the world is why is he creating the world because he and that's why he decided to create the world and and because and because he was willing to create the first tum where he created the empty space to be able to create the world and he explains over there in the midb there's three levels before the Tsum up to the level that he had like a vision in in in in potential everything that he's going to do in the future he had a dream a vision what he's going to do in the future so this is also a level before the light that filled the space so you see that before the light that fill space is also different levels now what do we see from here that even this level ofm has a desire to good the essential desire from deep within he wants to do good so even though it's not good good means you do good means you have a desire to good it's only it's only desire what does desire mean so we know that in the SPH the highest SP is K in K you have the higher level is and the lower level is r so is basically the internal part of which is basically tining it's the deepest part in K so in order for that to exist that there should be you need to have a tum you need to have a contraction why because any time you have a concept of light you have a a concept of Revelation there has to be a contraction why is that because where did the light come from light doesn't come by itself it comes from a place that before had the potential to have light anytime you have light and you have a relation down here you can't compare to the potential so if something has a potential to give off light and then it gives off light so in the potential to giving off the light is two different worlds so between potential between your and or between your potential and and Revelation there has to be a t that you can go from potential to to to Revelation and the same thing also applies to in other words even the even the fact that wants to do good which is again a revelation he wants to do good he even though he didn't do it yet it's he wants to so this potential that he wants to is hi the potential is hiding it or the re use that term it's more refined so that in order to go from potential to have you need in order to go from the potential of wanting to do good and then having the desire to want to do good it's two different worlds so you need a Simpson that that goes from just the the possibility and the and and and and the potential to to the reality of that desire and and and this itself says he the author explains explains that there's three levels up to the the the the lowest level that he already had a vision in potential what he's going to do in the future so there again you need a Tsum from one level to the next and then from there you have another Tsum that ultimately created that the infinite part of hasem fulfilled the place of the area where you eventually had the so what do you see from here that in that before the there was multiple there was multiple contractions between every and every oil between every potential and every Revelation so in order to understand the more and deeper the simpon the contraction that takes place on a on a very high level Earth Milo know the the the high levels of the and that's idea of is high which means there's there's a level of a on a high level so he brings what it says in the discourse what what it says in in reference to the first which was in the in order so that why was there because if you have just the the the the the light without the tum you're not going to to create the worlds in other words besides the fact of all the simum and the contraction that took place before the Tsum reine afterwards you had the first Sims which means not allowed and that Simpson wasn't in the in the expansion of the light and this level of simpsom in the which we call the first again even even though it's tricky because there's three multiple beforehand but this syum what type of syum is it so it's called that this SYM is Sy I say in HEB I'll translate it's a Sy of D where you basically totally totally a Big Skip and it's greater than all the T afterwards the is the biggest one and it's much greater and different than the ones that follow it why is that cuz this one that we call the classic T again obviously there's ones after but we just learned this one before but this transission is done in a way I'll say it in Hebrew I'll translate it's a way of Sil which basically everything moved to the side it's not just a contraction you know you contract yourself but you totally create an empty space which basically in simple English is where God basically took the big light and he put it to the side which means even in the circle itself there was a tum was totally void and like it's explained at length elsewh where deeper this idea and especially when it comes to the Cav the line that he drawn afterwards so so that's the first component of the Tsum is that he created this empty space in The Sims the second component is after he created the empty space he brought in a line and not only the line that he brought him was a short line and for that alone says you need another consum you need another contraction that the line should be short and how did how did how did this Short Line come in through ssum now even though that from this little line that was done through at simpsom you created afterwards all the s but it's called a short line compared to the big circle which is obviously infinite and how much more so in compared to the light that existed before the big circle but nevertheless this symtom which means this symtom is which we said is like a power which basically created an empty space and basically created a full concealment so one might think oh my gosh the there's a light that filled the space now there's a simp which means it's totally moved to the side it's totally concealed you think oh my gosh there's something missing wow this is the beauty this is the beauty of this is the beauty of this mare there no no no there's nothing missing it's not God forbid when you create a symtom you losing out you're not losing out anything wow what does that mean but specifically from the s from creating the empty space creating the concealment from that emptiness and through the EMP specifically that's how you're able to bring in you draw in the essence of hasem and like he brings for the teaching again like like I mentioned he's going to bring from he brings from the from a classical work over his called and he says as follows everything that exists in this world it's not just the way we see it and and it's a false reality no no no whatever we see in the world is its true existence like it says clearly in the toah Bor Elohim as hasem through Elohim which means through concealment he created everything so everything in this world it's not smokes and mirrors it's hasem in the world and specifically because thisum and this contractions yes you can think that it's an illusion but the truth is every everything that you see is the true existence of hem like he brings the verse who is like there's nothing and no place in this world that doesn't exist if not other than hasem so now we're he's going to explain deeper the idea of the first symtom and he and he and and he explains it based on what the the the explains in his classical Works in and also in two classical years of deep discourses and he explains how the first is the source of all the contractions later on which was needed to create all the worlds up to this physical world that's the source of everything and he explains as follows when it comes to the infinite part of hasem so you have I'll say in Hebrew and translated you have the and you have the and the so you have the light which is infinite and then you have the light which is finite now just that before hasem made the contraction he couldn't create the world why because what happened then was before made the contraction before he made the shs the infinite light was shining in a revealed way so what happened is even though you had the finite light but it was concealed because the the infinite light overpowered it so therefore went ahead and to the which means he he took took us he moved aside the powerful in infinite light of hm on as side which means he concealed the infinite infinite light and he revealed the finite light and by doing that you now you have the possibility to have a world a world of concealment because the infinite light got went push pushed to the side and the final light got revealed and he explains over there in the explains the different types of which apply in all the different levels of of of of of contractions that uses the name and the contractions of shim and different type of on a lower level up until it comes down into the sphere the lower sphere of malus and through malus hasem used to create the worlds of Bria and not only that he says that from the first contraction what happened after the Tim of first contraction so after the T what you had was the what is called an in Hebrew I'll say in Hebrew I'll translate the breaking of the of the vessels of Chaos in other words because there was too much light and you had the breaking of the vessels of chaos so from there came out the creation of this materialistic world a world where God Is concealed and sadly because of the breaking the vessels I say in Hebrew the the the opposite of Holiness is very very strong and very very powerful and where where is it like what's the source that the CLE place the opposite of a God the Rebellion against God is so strong it all comes from the breaking of the vessels of to of chaos and over here the reash explains in that discourse that even in this materialistic World which was created through the contractions guess what you think oh my gosh where's Hashem the answer is no in everything Hashem is there and like the alter explains in in the discourse called that this that everybody says like the Tau us the men women and children why is that why do we say even though we're living in a dark world because the mo the source of light is revealed here and therefore even children know that there's a God that exists in the world and like he explains at length in and ation of the of the previous in other words that the revelation of the essence of hasem is we're in this materialistic physical world and that's why the AL explains um on on on the on the teaching of that says who's like our God anytime we call a love to him so what does he explain so he says we call a love to him so what do mean we're calling to him so Al explains we're calling AEM and not to his attributes and know when we call we're not calling any level we're calling to the essence of hasem and when a child and ignoramus and a woman prays to a love to Hashem we're praying to Hashem and not to the attributes know we're praying to the essence of Hashem and the way and like the AL explains in t that we call it's like a child that's calling his his parent and more more important like like a person that calls their friend that you're calling from your essence to hashem's essence so basic explains beautifully he says now we understand the essence of our work and our responsibilities that we need that we need to do um in this world and especially right now before mashiah comes in other words that specifically now we are in a time that Darkness covers up the world look out the world a dark world and the greatest contraction of Godly light God's not revealed and all the killing and the shooting and all the negative stuff but guess what say specifically from the darkness we have to pray and the way that we pray to straight to hasem himself not to any attribute attributes and like it says like the ver says I praying um like like which which basically means that when a child prays he doesn't pray to any second he prays to the essence of hem himself and when when a person does that in in that fashion we're able to know we connect to hasem himself we're able to bring bring down the main down into this world not only the of but the main which means the essence Hebrew the Ence of and especially by doing our job and our work in a way of action and like it says you do the action of of of Charity just to do it and like explained at length in the different cic discourses the idea of esaia practicing restraint or the idea of avoided doing work which means transforming the tides and by doing our work through escapia practicing Str but making connecting to hasem himself in this world will come to the great revelation of the main will be down this world and it's going to happen like finishes off so beautifully and says with the true and complete Redemption through so here we have another powerful beautiful discourse of the rebba in the way he explains the one the most deepest concept of mysticism he goes takes us into a journey into the highest the highest contractions and that's where the real is that he has the power to contract and contract why because he wants to create this world that we can we have the power um to realize that wherever we are Hashem is there in the greatest concealment Hashem is there the essence of Hashem and all we need to do is turn to Hashem like finishes off we turn to hm God willing we'll have the coming of Messiah and next class will be in your sh have a great and blessed week sh
