welcome to this week's class in this
this week we're going to be learning a
beautiful hasidic discourse
the name of the acidic discourse is
called a lip kuday
these are the countings the rebba said
the specific discourse
on shabbos pashas could they in tough
shin lamid
51 years ago and in the year
tough shin nun alef exactly 30 years ago
the rebels certified and edited the
specific discourse
in honor of hey odor which is this week
as well
the birthday the birthday of the
rabbitson
so the acidic discourse again is based
on the verse and the parsha the opening
verse and the second torah portion this
year it's two vayakla
together so in the second thorough
portion prasha pagoda it says
this is the counting of the mishkan
and the verse continues
[Music]
the mishkan of the testimony
that was counted word through moshe
that's the verse in the torah
so the rubber brings down he says it's
known the famous question
that how come it says ham mishkan
once and then right afterwards mishkan
again why did it say in the same verse
twice the word mishkan also
the second questioner asks when it says
elephant this is the counting in the
mishkan it's the first question why did
you say twice the second question is
the first time it says hamishkan it
calls it mishkan
and the second time it says mishka
naidos it adds the word of testimony in
reference to the mishkan that's the
second
question the third question ever asks
it says that it was counted alpine
now there's two
different interpretations what so what
does that mean
what was counted according to moisha was
the counting the mishkan
dos the one that says right before
af and that's why it says
phuket that was counted in a singular
form because it's referring to only that
one the mishkan aidas
and there's a that's one inside the
other insight is the other understanding
is
that when it says it was counted on
according to moises referring to the
mishkan
the regular mishkan mishkan now the
simple meaning is if it starts ailip
kuder mishkan this is the county of the
mishkan
so the simple meaning is a white
moisture in account the general mishkan
so then the question is what how did
these two
understandings go together was it
counting the regular misconduct was
accounting the war the miscondus
so the river brings from the altar rebel
torah
and he says as follows what is first we
have to we're talking about the mishkan
so you want to know why it says twice
mishka and why it says mishka and why
says mishkana
dos which one is moisture no counting
there's obviously
there's two different insights so we
have to understand what is a michigan
what is the mishkan so we know it is the
physical mishkan
the place where hashem dwelt in the
mishkan the tabernacle the mig dash
basa migdas etc but what is the what is
the mishkan mean practically
so mishka means
it means that's where the shrine of
hashem dwelled in
as the verse says clearly the us
dash make to me a mikdash this
and i will dwell within it so again
anytime it says natural mishkan like in
this case what does mishka mean
the place that we made for hashem as
amigos or is a miscon
into this special holy place
now so if that's the case that we're
talking about
hashem's presence coming down into the
the mishkan
so that's why it says mishkan which
means mishkan
simple mishkan and then it says mishkan
in other words there's two different
levels in the shrine that comes down
and rests in this world what does that
mean practically so in kabbalah it's
called shrimp
the lower level of srina and shrina
allah a higher level of shriner and
that's why the torah has to say mishkar
and mishkinay this is two different
levels of the screener
lower level of screen or the higher
level of screener
now so that's in terms of the mishka now
we all know
that every single one of us we learned
this in the previous
discourses every single one of us is a
mishkan
a place for hashem to dwell and a mig
dash a holy place
for hashem and as as says clearly in the
torah
the australian migdash make
referring to every single every single
jewish person
that make could and should make himself
to be a dwelling place for hashem
so therefore just like in the mishkan
physically
there's the shrina tata that comes into
the mishkan and the screening law
and since every person is a mishkan or
amigdas rashem
so therefore when it says
mishkan in the torah stam
and it says mishkana dos it's also
referring to the mishkan of the jewish
people
now so that that's one insight
let's take it a step further um we know
it's rashi says when it says
so the first it says regular mishkan
then it says mishka on the mississ
what does it mean testimony
testimony for what
so rashi says that it's a testimony
for every single person that
hashem forgave the jewish people
in other words so there's two different
so based on this you have the mishkan
islam
which is the regular place of sham
dwells but then there's the miscreaned
us
representing the idea that we sinned
unfortunately with the
with the uh with the eagle with the
golden calf
and then hashem says no miss gone i'm
going to give you a mishka which isn't
wise i'm giving you a misgun so it's
testimony i forgave you i'm going to
come back and dwell with you
so in other words so based on this drama
explains
when it says mishka in the first mishkan
what is it referring to
it's referring to our avoida of learning
torah and doing mitzvahs
when we learn torah we do mitzvahs we
cause hashem the shrine
to come within us but then when it says
mishka and
aid to us is referring to like the other
what
after we sinned we did shuva so the
second this
mishkan adas is referring to the avodah
of truva
of repentance so
to be clear mishkan's referring to the
avoid of terror in its voice the regular
regular day-to-day life of learning
targeting during mitzvahs
and miss grenade this is when we
unfortunately mess up when we do we do
chuva and we repent
so the rebel says he's going to connect
us what it says the torah from the
altareba
that mishkan the first miscon
is referring to the lower level
which comes through doing tyrant and
learning torah and during mitzvahs
and mishkan dos is referring to
the higher level shrink that comes
through
and ruby explains er explains what does
that mean
so he says is referring to in terms of
the spheroids
the tensioners that's called malchus the
lower level of shrino
and and shrinary laws the higher is the
level of bena
again so to recap so we have
regular mishkan is
and that's like that's connected to the
sv reward abina
so based on this rabbit says this is
also the difference between
when we do our spiritual work of
learning torah and doing mitzvos
and when we do chuva and that's because
when we do
torah mitzvahs that we're doing the
mitzvah of hashem of the king
so that's malchus on the other hand we
do chuva
that's that's the level of want of bino
and rebecca goes on to say as follows in
other words
so what's the whole purpose of the
mishkan mishkan aedus
was to atone for the sin of the golden
calf
so seemingly mishkana adores his truva
regular mishkan is terror amid's voice
but since mishkarna adas is chuva and
it's connected to the regular mishkan so
therefore even though the main purpose
of the regular mishkan
day-to-day life is learning torah and
doing mitzvos
but you must say the arabic says that
even in the irregular avoidance
the regular void of learning torah and
doing mitzvot is you also have in there
included
a component of what of truth of
repentance
so that's case what's the difference if
you're saying that mishkan sam also has
shuva
and mishkinay this is also troops what's
the difference so he says very simple
that in the mishkan stamp which
regularly it's terri
it's learning torah and doing mitzvos it
also has the component of achuva
it's referring to the low level of truva
on the other hand mishka na eidos which
is all about
real chuba because we did chuva for the
qatar egal
that is referring to what the idea of
truva truvail
which basically ever says that's also in
line to what the alternative says on the
torah because mishkan is
the lower level and misca
and and and and mishkan does the
screening which is bina
why and their explain is very simple
because
in hashem's name you have
the yurt k bufke so you know you desmond
hey espino vav is the midos
and hey is malchus so chuva tatar the
lower level of chuva
is referring to tash of hay there's two
haze in hashem's name
so the lower level of chuva is tasha hay
which is the lower hay which is the
last hay and that represents malchus and
chuva
la is the higher hay which is chuvay law
and that represents we know
in the uk the hay is bino which it's
really beautiful the way it's all
connected
so chuva tata is the second hey in your
kevke which is malchus
and truvailo which is the first hay and
that's the idea of bino
now that's in general but we know
there's 70 ways to learn torah there's
always
beautiful different insights but
represents there's also an opinion that
says
that the commandment of the associate
migdas you shall make to the base
and the the hashem commanded us to bring
make the base make dodge
and the banana sauce gave the donations
for the mcdosh there so there's an
opinion that says
that that happened before the sin of the
golden calf
so if the commandment to make the migdos
and the gifts given will be before the
sin of the golden calf
so it was so what how do you bring in
the whole idea of truva
it's according to an opinion that says
that the usually mcdosh and the gifts
were given
after the sin of the golden calf so it's
everything so far that we said is in
line with that
but according to the opinion that the
commandment to to make the mcdonald's
from the gifts
that was before we sin with the golden
calf so how can you explain the whole
idea of
that that's connected to truva what kind
of true vote there was no repentance we
didn't do anything wrong
so according to that opinion the banay
israel were on a level of assadic
so what's the two based on that what's
the two levels of mishkan
and mishkana either because we built the
whole thing around the mishkanete this
is truva
which is the a higher level of true and
mishkanstein is tributary
so the rubber explains that the two
levels of mishkan which means the
mishkan stam
and mishkanedas is two levels in the
service of azadek
and um like the rabbit brings from the
territory that says
that what's the what's the level of the
two levels of the service of the sadiq
so the michigan is referring to the
avoid of doing
the positive commandments in other words
when you do the 248 positive
commandments
that's the first level of mishkan that's
one level that's
just doing your mitzvahs another mitzvah
another mitzvah another mitzvah
doing positive mitzvahs that's the void
of assad
but on the other hand when we're
fighting with ourselves not to
transgress the 365 negative commandments
so the poem you don't transgress but
you're obviously you don't do this and
you don't do that you're refraining from
god from it from sinning
so that's the avoider of mishkan edus
the higher level so mishkan islam
according to this an insight is
the avoid of doing the positive
commandments in relation to azadek
and the mishkan aedus is the avoid of
not transgressing with the negative
commandments
of the balchuva i mean the higher level
of assad
now andrew says it's possible to also
say
that these two ideas of mishkan
in the avoid vasadik also applies to our
internal powers our internal powers as
well what does that mean
so the the the mishkan which we said
before
is the positive commandments that's
practically during the mitzvahs what
does it mean in our koikes
so mishkan stam is the void of santa
where he works with his heart
and mishka na eidos which we said before
is
is staying away from the negative
precepts but what does that mean
practically in our spiritual service
that is only when we we work we work and
we're connected to hashem with the
alvarez
of intellect so again to recap what's
really saying is according to the
opinion
that the the the commandment to make the
mig dash
and the and the point we gave the gifts
were before we sent
the golden calf so they're both talking
at the level of azadek
one inside it's the avoid of the
mitsubishi and the murder of the
mitchell
michigan style miss grenadas and more
internally more spiritually
it's avoided with our heart which is
mishkan islam
and they avoided with our intellect
which is mishkan adas
so whoever connects this to what it says
the torah
that what mishkan is referring to
the um two levels of misconceptions the
same
slices say and he connects now they're
always gonna explain beautifully the
connection between the positive
commandments
and the um the positive commands and the
work of the heart
and the negative commandments and the
work of of the
of the of the intellect why so the
rubber explains because the mitzvahs are
say
the positive commandments are in in
hashem's name uk
buff k the positive commandments are
connected to the buff k
which is the avoider of the heart and
because we know that
the the the midos is is um
valve cave is the six meters and the
last
and the last hey is malchus so the the
vodka
is the midais which is uh which is which
is the emotions are connected to the
positive commandments
and the mises lisa say is with the utk
which is moishin which is and hey is
bina so again the rabbit connects this
idea
of the avoiding mitsubishi mitsubishi
the heart with the mind
um um with the letters of hashem's name
utkay
which is moiken and which is midos
so now we see that there's two different
avoiders there's the avoider
of um a regular of a of a regulat
which is the lower level which is
basically working with our heart and
then there's the higher level which is
the
intellect is the same it's just let's
say the youth carry in the bufket
so now that you're going to explain this
more in depth based on what it says in
the
torah and the country says as follows
that
hashem's name is uk wafkee
it'd be clear it's a hey but we're just
saying k because we don't pronounce
hashem's name
so utk valve k so the author brings in
the
term and he says like this that uk which
we said before is a reference to
which is referring to the intellect so
the arthur says the contrary uk utk is
referring to honey's stories
it says materia honey story the secrets
the concealment is connected to utk
which is
connected to the intellect and v
which we said before is is the emotions
so the doctor
says and the vodka is neglige so now
we're going into a step further that uh
k which is represents
which is hidden valve which represents
the emotions
is the revealed part what does that mean
and rubber explains
your k as we said before is moichen is
intellect
valve k is what is midos and moychen is
concealment
and middle east is revelation andrew is
going to explain now more in depth and
he says like this
what's the difference between intellect
and emotions
from its real components the nerve
explains like this
[Music]
intellect is for yourself that's
intellect intellect is for yourself
and there is going to explain it in in
tremendous in depth
midori's emotions is all for the other
person for someone else
and like there's going to explain now in
tremendous in tremendous depth and
breath etc
another and so and that was the same
thing also
that just like by us intellect is for
ourselves
and emotions is for someone else the
same thing also on high on a spiritual
level
that what the middle east of hashem
the emotions of hashem the emotional
series
the purpose is for the worlds for
outside of the spheres which means for
the worlds
and on the other hand intellect is above
the worlds
so there's another major distinction
known as in us
intellect is for ourself emotions for
someone else
on high intellect is above connecting to
the world because the world means it's
outside of
of is of the r it's creation and on the
other hand the emotions is connected
more to the worlds
now so because of that
generally speaking middois is all about
revealing to somebody else negligence
revealing
me noises me emotion is all about
revealing
on the other hand is concealment from
somebody else
and these stories it's hidden so
practically you meet somebody
and you share it's emotions intellect
that's still reserved now
to take it a step further and go a
little deeper into it explain it's like
this
this that we say that moishen that
intellect
is concealed and emotions
is revealed so what does that mean
so whatever's saying is that the general
idea of midos
the general idea of emotions even
emotions of our heart before you reveal
it to someone else because
not every emotion you shared yet you
have plenty of
stirrings in your heart plenty of
feelings in your heart
so there ever says even the emotions
before you shared it you just cooked up
about something emotionally
you're excited in your heart about
something passionately
even before you shared it technically
it's also revealed
that's when it comes to emotions so
again to emotions the essence of
emotions are for somebody else
even before you share it it's all about
something which is for someone else on
the other hand
in the reverse when we're dealing with
intellect
even after let's say you meditate on
something you think about something even
after you share it with somebody else
it's still concealed it's still
concealed
even after you sheared it it's still in
your head and it's still it's still
concealed
what does that mean what does that mean
practically if you shared a why is it
concealed never explains like this
because this that we say that emotions
and feelings is for somebody else
it's not only about the function of
shearing
and when you shared it but the essence
of emotions the essence of the emotion
is all about somebody else
and electric as an example take for
example
the attribute of khasid kindness
what is the whole idea of the middle
cassette
the medium asset means that you want to
do something
kindness for somebody else again think
about khasit what does kassad mean
helping somebody else that's the emotion
now what happens if there's no somebody
else
it is paralyzed means
you want to help somebody else not that
you want to be nice
means you want to help somebody else so
if there's no somebody else
chased is paralyzed it can't do its work
it doesn't
it has no purpose now
the other says even though it's broke
down in many places
that you can't fulfill the actual
act of chasse without somebody else
however it says that the awakening the
emotion
of the feeling of wanting to give
you know you can have a feeling to want
to help and even though no one's there
like for example ruby is a famous
example it says
mean to say is in his blood he wanted to
help somebody he wanted to help another
human being now so obviously he went and
helped people
we all know that when he was uh
recovering from the circumcision so he
couldn't
hashem made it very hot no one should
come bother him and he couldn't help
somebody
so it says aaron ravino was in pain why
because the media
said he could not fulfill it he couldn't
literally serve somebody
breakfast lunch or dinner or give so
tell share a good
good word he couldn't express himself
hazard could not be expressed
um in other words but so he couldn't do
it
and he was in pain from that but the
fact is as hassan was active
because he did want to help so
if if he was in pain obviously he didn't
want to help because it was working
so what are we saying that is only if
you can really
actualize it and your bricks explains
very simple
because that's because there was someone
out there that he could have helped
so therefore was working he just
couldn't actualize and he was in pain
because he couldn't he couldn't he
couldn't actualize it
but what happens if there was no one
magically there was no one in the world
that means there was no one in the world
that he could go ahead and share he
couldn't
do because there was no one in the world
so how would you waken up
the actual if there's no one there he
was in pain because in theory there were
people out there that he could help and
he wanted to help so he couldn't help he
was in pain
what happens if there's no one out there
who he's he wants to help what no one
exists
so in other words you need someone else
at least to exist in the world so that
should be activated but there's no one
else that needs the hassaid how can you
activate the khasid
and i was taking a step further says
that
the media wouldn't have any purpose
why because what's the media of hasid
the media
said is to be kind to somebody else if
there's no one
else the media is useless
in other words to take to take it a step
further
avram was in pain why because he had no
one to actually
give the hustle he wanted to give to
in others why was he in pain there was
no one there
so you see clearly he was in pain
because hassan needs to
reach another person and can't reach
another person
the middle class is not working
in other words why why was he in pain
because there was a lack
he had the media he said and he had no
way no way to make it happen
so this that he was in pain because he
couldn't
use the media and make it work
so that's exactly the point you see he
couldn't he couldn't actualize it
because without another person has no
place
and when you cannot physically help
another person
so this has it is not complete now
is complete when it's a complete me that
you have the emotion
and you're able to actualize it but if
you have these dreams of doing great
things and you don't do it
that's not it's a dream
component is of two parts you have the
need and the urge and the feeling to
help
and you actually help so without the
other person to receive it doesn't exist
and
can't be actualized
so again so you see clearly that the
whole idea the essence of the media of
khasid is for another person
now so that is what we're in terms of
the emotions
so do you ever explain this clearly that
when it comes to that the meat
like their world of meadows the world of
emotions it's all about
helping the other person it's all about
the other person
you need something else to affect your
asset
now let's take in reference to intellect
in intellect is just the opposite
this that we say that moishen intellect
is for yourself
it's not only in reference to
um that intellect is for yourself
but cycle the intellect
intellect is all it's all about you
in other words when it comes to emotions
it's all about helping the other person
and without that was weak as we
explained before at length
but when it comes to intellect
it's all about you and not only it's all
about you
you don't need another person when it
comes to someone that's a thinker
and wants to meditate and understand you
don't need another person
in other words even when you're totally
by yourself an island
without anybody you can sit there and
meditate
for days weeks months years on end if
you're a real intellect
now even though we know it's broken into
this and it says many many places that
when you explain your ideas to somebody
else
so the intellect gets sharpened like for
example the famous
statement of talmud me tell me that
yoshimikulon
said that he became smarter mainly from
having to explain it to his students so
rubber explains that's true but that
only adds to the intellect
but the at but that adds to the
intellect but the essence of intellect
knows just the intellectual capability
of thinking and meditating your
understanding
is 100 possible without somebody else
knows even when you don't have no one to
share intellectual ideas
you can meditate great things and not
only that
there ever since you're going to step
further on the contrary to really
get to the depth of understanding of
something and really comprehending it
sometimes somebody else is actually a
distraction
and therefore it's all it's known that
most the scholars
would meditate they would go into uh
hiding concealment
why because that's where you get in
touch with real intellect
and there are quotes in the talmud it
says that the sanhedrin the big rabbis
in the temple
on the back from the from the bedin they
would sit and they would
discuss and they would um they would get
delved
into the the depth of the law a whole
night
and rashi says everyone did it on their
own it wasn't like they did it all
together
everyone went to so to speak in their
own world and they meditated on their
whole on the whole night
why because in order to get to the truth
of an intellectual idea is specifically
only when you d
when you think about it on your own you
totally
be able to be objective and uh even
according to the rambam that says that
that it was actually two it was two
partners two rabbis the other would
discuss
it so the problem says it was a benz it
was a ben
zugui which means somewhere on the same
level as that person but not everyone
together just literally two
and two people on the same level now so
again so what do we see from here
that when it comes to intellect the
essence of intellect is all about
being in your own world and the country
you don't need you don't want someone
else
now so what does that mean what we what
what we started before
where it said that that um
intellect are histories it's concealed
what it's all about what's in your
what's in your depth
on the other hand midoi's emotions it's
neglige
it's revealed because it's all about
sharing with somebody else
so in other words what does that mean
because since the whole
purpose of emotions is to shear so it's
called revealed
now what happens if you have these you
have these feelings in your
in your heart and you didn't share it
with anybody so again
technically you didn't share it but the
fact is it's all for free for another
person it's all that you're eventually
going to share it
you can't be cooked up with something
without sharing it's actually very
unhealthy
it's very important if you have you know
if you have emotions that are cooking
you got to get it out you got to share
with someone obviously in a healthy
place
with a healthy person and if you need a
professional whatever it may be but the
point is
the purpose of emotions is to share and
you need a healthy outlet you can talk
to god
that's the best place to to get it out
okay so that's what
emotions on the other hand intellect
intellect is all about yourself and it's
really not only itself it's it's self
and
not necessarily connected to somebody
else
now so therefore even when you share
let's say you think about something you
have an idea even when you share it
so on a kabbalistic level even when
you're sharing it it's also considered
concealment
why why is it considered concealment so
there ever explains like this two
reasons
one reason is because let's say you have
this tremendous idea
deep idea that you spend hours
meditating and thinking about it
so even when you share it it's not the
same intellect
the depth the way you thought about
yourself in other words because the fact
is it's brought down a sentence that
says that even when you share intellect
you don't share it raw intellect you are
excited about what you're sharing that
means it's going through the channel of
emotions
you're you're you're bringing it into
the package of emotions that share that
through the emotions you're sharing it
which means the essence of the intellect
that stays concealed you spend hours
days months
the essence stays concealed you're
sharing something through
the channel of emotion that you're
sharing with someone else but the
essence of what you thought about
that does not get revealed that's point
number one another point derby says
even the part that you reveal
is because you decide you want to share
this with somebody else
but the general intellect
even the part that you're revealing it's
really all about me
you're sharing with the other person
where you're holding in other words like
this
there's times when you share something
you want the other person to comprehend
it you want the other person to get it
a real intellect this shares his
thoughts he's just sharing you he's
he's not really taking you into his
world and he's not really making sure
that you get his world
he's sharing you his ideas a thought an
abstract thought
so a he didn't really share with you the
depth of it
and b even when he shared it it was in
his world you don't even necessarily get
it you heard he said words and it's
he just got it out but it's not really
he didn't really fully share it
so again the main point i was bringing
out is when it comes to emotions me
doings it's all about revelation
it's all about sharing that you you get
what i'm feeling
and you can relate to me et cetera and i
can help you
that's it that's emotions intellect is
all about my world
and whether you get it you don't get at
first i'm not sharing and even i do
share it
i mean it's i'm just sharing where i'm
at and i'm not really making it's not
really connecting to you
because intellect is all about staying
on on on
on home base now
and here there it takes even a step
further it says like this
back to intellect what do we say
intellect
is really not connected to another human
being
so the effort says now a step further
not only
is it not connected to someone outside
of yourself but
even to the person himself anything
which is
considered outside of the world of
intellect
he doesn't need to share it think about
this till now we're learning
sharing with someone else outside of
yourself here they're ever saying a real
intellect
even in your own world your hands your
feet your emotions
intellect if it's outside of the world
of intellect that's also not shared
your hands and your feet and your heart
doesn't know it doesn't really connect
to the essence of your intellect your
intellect does
but it doesn't really share it and maybe
it's not even impossible to share it
because it's so deep
now so let's say the person does want to
share
so you have to do just like in when
something created the world he'd use a
simpson
you got to contract and you have to
conceal that you know it's a power the
intellect is very powerful
so in order to steer it and the person
doesn't get overloaded whether it's
outside yourself even yourself anything
external the intellect
you have to conceal it you have to
contract it
and even the will to want to understand
the intellect that has to be contracted
why because anything that's outside of
the world of intellect
will actually confuse the intellect just
like a person outside intellect will
confuse him
anything in your world outside of
intellect will also confuse it
in other words like this let's let's
take it a step further
even when you understand you meditate
you understand it etc
intellect and your hands your feet
your heart it's two different worlds the
proof
is let's say for example you have an
idea a deep idea
how things should happen and operate etc
does it doesn't necessarily do you feel
that way no
do you behave that way no because again
intellect
and reality is two different worlds
they're not really connected
so even though you know for example what
the right thing to do is you know the
right thing
it's possibly gonna do the wrong thing
or you know you're supposed to go here
and you end up going somewhere else why
because intellect is in its own world
and behaviors in a different world and
not always they connect
now the truth is even though we do know
that the fact is when you when you
meditate
and you were and you understand
something it could bring you
to being inspired 100 and it it
obviously in cases it causes you
to go ahead and do things as we know for
example the expression of talmud it says
god o talmud
maybe the demise that talmud is great
because talmud will cause you
to go do the action so you see that
intellect does have
an impact on the world of action
you know so they're explaining this it's
not because
that the intellect is there to affect
you emotionally that you should feel a
certain way
or so you should behave a certain way
because then there would be a connection
it doesn't work that way the way
intellect has an impact on the way you
feel
and the way you behave it's not in a way
where it gets involved and gets enclosed
and it actually shears
but it explains whatever explains
differently it's because intellect is
like when you put on a big light
when the light is shining so the the
when the light
shines in the room does it get involved
in every single place that fights with
it that
it's feel the light no the light goes on
you feel the light everywhere also
so it knows when the intellect sees it
it doesn't have to
engage with the heart or with the action
when the light goes on the light is on
the heart sees the light
the action sees and knows where to go
in other words so we see from here that
the effect that
intellect has on all their attributes
the emotions
and the physical activity
it's not because intellect was revealed
so based on this job explains very
simple
that when we say intellect is nestorius
is concealed so we mean that it's
concealed
even from the person himself
his actions and his behavior and his
emotions i
does have an impact it's like light the
light goes on but it's still really
concealed
so the world of intellect is a concealed
world
it does sometimes have an impact because
the light goes on
it has an impact on our emotions our
action but
it's the world of concealment
so based on this that we have now a deep
insight
of the two levels of asadik which is the
positive commandments and negative
commandments the um
emotions and the intellect um the utk
the vof k and we have an in-depth
analysis of what really intellect means
which is really all about self and what
emotion means it's all about sharing
so based on this river explains what it
says in the past let's go back to the
verse
what does the verse say this is the
counting of the mishkan
one type of mishkan me
that's referring to the work of the
heart which is all
explained before it's all about somebody
else all about the zulus
and because mishk mishkan's referring to
the heart and this is powerful
that's what derivative says if you look
at the with the word mischievous
so we know when you have the letter hey
in a word it's referring to hey haydea
it's
known hey means it's
unknown what is the first mishkan
referring to the work of the heart
the heart is all about shearing and
that's why it says
hey because it's known you're sharing it
that's why it's known
because the essence of the emotions is
all about guilty revelation
powerful so again ham mishkan is
referring to
the emotions and that's why it says hey
because it's all about revealing
sharing but then it says mishka naidos
this is the second mishkan what's this
mishkanetos
so miscreante does
what is a testimony why do you have to
say testimony if you see
something do you do you need to have a
witness for it no
if you see it you see it the problem is
when something is concealed you don't
know
so you bring a witness to tell you
what's concealed so
mishkan haidos so what does river
explain very simple
adas means you need a testimony if
something is concealed
so ha he mishkan is referring to the
emotions which is revealed
miss grenada is referring to intellect
and that's concealed
it's the avoid of the intellect and it's
concealed
and there it takes it a step further and
he says that
even in the intellect which is concealed
which is the idea of mishkan hedos it's
concealed nifty need to aid us the
witnesses
it's referring to not only external
intellect it's referring to the internal
intellect
which is higher than having any
connection with the emotions
so what does it mean mishkan haidos
mishkanetus means that the understanding
of godliness even the understanding of
premiums hamilton
the internal motion the real depth is
totally becomes one with the person that
understands it
up until the point that the essence of
the person
is what does that mean mishkan mishkan
comes from the word
of shaytan where hashem is dwelling in
other words
what swelling the light of hashem is
dwelling in the person we are in the
intellect
higher from the light that goes in the
middles
in other words seven's explaining very
simple miss grenadas means
michigan on one hand it's shaping it's
coming in coming in we air to the aedus
the part that's concealed and based on
this job explains
why it says in reference to mishkan
aidos
it says again after phuket that it was
counted through moisture
so why because what are we referring to
mishkan it should be shaykhen
the the intellect the concealment that
the concealment should be revealed
how can we be a vessel for this powerful
light of the intellect
we just explained that intellect is so
deep that it's the essence of
its essence of concealment it's all
about concealment
how is it being ashaykhan how is it
coming in i said the reverence is very
simple
that happens i shall puke it up
because the fact that we're connected to
moisture
and every one of us have a connection to
moisture the
moisture of every generation by
connecting to moisture we can have
mischievous we can
we can reveal within us the adults the
biggest secrets of intellect in our
lives we need more surveying for that
and but the others is obviously
you got you can't take the uh the the
you have to even though this is
according to this it's powerful stuff
but what is a simple what does a simple
verse mean
that
accounted is also going not only on
misconduct the intellect
which he brings in revelation but also
mishkan also the original mishkan
the one for the emotions why because
when a person does the avoider
which avoider of mishka na eidos
which means he draws down the intellect
the concealment you and through
connecting to maisreno
so then even though the regular mishkan
is all about revealing
and that's easier to connect but what
happens then since puke and moisture is
also going to as we said in the
beginning of
the discord it's goes going and the
first regular mishkan that it elevates
even the regular miscrime which is all
about the steering but that
also gets elevated to a higher level you
can connect to it on a deeper level as
well
and how does that work and they ever
explain very simple like we said before
because what's the intellect
it's like light once the light goes on
it's all over the place
so they are void of mishkan aida says
that we should draw in
the concealment in our lives we do it
through maisha reno
once we do that it has an impact on
on on the regular mishkan through the
fact
that when you bring when you connect
when you connect to the light the light
comes and has and it permeates all over
the place
now so we learned so far
that there's two different avoidance
basically this is the avodahwat of the
update of
because the way the challenge we said it
came at that the two
two levels of the middles intellect and
emotions
now but nevertheless trevor says we all
know
that there's a tremendous power
and tremendous energy of the avoider of
the bolshevik
over the avoid of the savage see even
though one hand that sadik
draws in tremendous light he brings in
the light
of the intellect into our lives and
through that into every part of our
lives through their void of moisture
but nevertheless there's a tremendous
power in their void of abolechuva why
and they rub explains like this
because generally speaking the avoider
of azadek
is the saint of ahadraga he goes one
step at a time another mitzvah more
torah
he's in stability consistency that's
life is good life is simple another
mitzvah another
a little more darkening more meditation
bringing in more light
like the bringing the light of the
intellect that's concealed
affecting the emotional side like
regular regular beautiful life
it's great on the other hand there's
their body there without shoulder
what's the about the obstacle they
avoided about trevor is
jumping jumping
he skips some steps in a good way he
he does things off the charts in other
words
the avoider of the balchuva is off the
charts
jumps very very high and matter of fact
based on trevor explains
that's why the avoid of the baltruva
is the avoider of bino like we explained
before in the beginning of the
discourse the volume of the balchuva is
wearing bena
in the higher level the higher uk the
hey there's the higher right the higher
hey
in other words it's just one second what
sadie olsen works for his intellect
he also does the intellect the intellect
obviously
he also does what a premium
that's also connected to intellect which
is bina so he says like this
because when you differentiate between
intellect and emotions
what we explained before that intellect
is disconnected from the person you're
like in a different world
emotions is all connected to the person
now so since intellect is disconnected
and emotions is connected so therefore
moichen intellect which is
we're talking now about the where is
that specifically
about that's specifically by baltruva
why because a bolshover somebody that
goes
out of his comfort zone goes out of who
he is
intellect is deep in
midos is connected to you the the
but sonic is connected to reality he is
connected in a beautiful way
the balchu on the other hand goes off
the charts
so based on this trevor explains
that this in the mishkan there's two
levels in the mishkan there's the
mishkan stam
and this mishka na dos
in other words what is mishkan
connected to the world one step at a
time
but then you have michigan aidas totally
disconnected
that's devoid of the baltimore why
because they avoid the vatsadik even
when he works with his intellect
not an avo attack his only emotions even
when he doesn't mean intellect
that's their void of michigan because
his main avoid is
the connected to the world connected to
reality on the other hand mishkan adas
totally disconnected now so now they're
asked the question what's up that's the
case
according to this explanation that we're
saying that mishkan is referring to
so what's the connection between between
between these two
and the shape that was that was through
moisture bainu
and whoever explains very simple in
other words
what is moisture avenue we all know what
is moisture revenue spiritually
moisture banana was personified bitter
humility that's what moisture raining
was he was humble
and not only humble this bitter hayes
the physical gets humble but you still
have somebody
but or it's bitterness c is you're
totally nullified
moisherabenu was bitter mancius totally
nullified
as it says banach what am i what nothing
moishebainu looked at himself nothing
it's all about hashem
he was totally humbled and you and
totally dedicated to hashem
now so therefore based on the strip
explains asha pukadapi mauisha
inspires what specifically the avoid of
bitter bitter
macias bit of macias is what
where you totally don't exist is
connected to michigan adas
why because michigan adas is adus
totally disconnected now but even though
moisture of a new inspire is more
misguided this which is total humility
but nevertheless
it has an impact on bakudiya mishkan
as well why because when a person does
truva which is the avoider of the
bolshevik
mishkanete this is the avoided so then
even his regulatory mitzvahs are in a
higher level
so the avoid of truva which is connected
to mishra naidus
so even though that is a valid but it
impacts the mishkan sum they avoided
sadiq and brings that to a higher level
like the famous line in the ghazal that
tell us
um
repentance and good deeds what does that
mean
if you're doing true votes true then
it's my century so it's two different
two different worlds
and the answer is no because when a
person does chuva
even the regular mitzvahs you do
normally become
maisim and they become good deeds that
are totally
lit up so the impact of chuva has an
effect on your regular life on the
regular mishkan
now
so take it a step further so when the
avoider of truvas
even though they are void of chuva is
generally we're in the void of moyken
but nevertheless they have both
components as the component of truva the
midos
and also in the intellect the mishkan
stam and the mishkinaidas
why and never explains like this because
there's there's something which is
called chuva tata a lower level of chuva
which is basically as we explained
before that's when you take the lower
hay
tasha hey the lower hay and you're
returning it back which is an idea of
of malhas which is referring to
um the hay into the vlog which is
that which is referring to the with the
the midos so the
true tattoos when it comes to the lower
hey which is malchus which is
to the valve which is the idea of
middles what's truvay law the higher
level of chuva
that's the higher you hey uk which is
the idea
true baillah which is basically bringing
back the bina
into the which is the avodah of the year
the avoider of the intellect now
what does that mean practically so
there's two different levels of chuva
there's truvator
what does that mean practice never says
this
the lower level of chuva is generally
speaking in reference to their void of
terror
mitzvos what's what's their void of
terror mitzvahs
you're learning torah and you're doing
mitzvahs positive and negative
commandments
which is the avoider of sur merav
assaytov so even though it's regularly
we explained before according to one
it's the void of sadiq but there's a
component of chuva true versatile over
there as well
what's the the truva that when you're
doing
suva you're returning to you're turning
to hashem and you're jumping
but it's a lower level of truva because
you're you're doing true
what you're seeing with who you are as a
human being
and therefore because it's your
existence you're doing true
it's a lower level of truth your mercy
is so therefore
it goes into the category of middles
emotions which is which itself
on the other hand what's true law that's
when you're returning
to the higher level you're going back to
the
the the being is going to
you're going to a place where you don't
exist
in other words the highest union even
before
um the the person so to speak got
disconnected
so this way what happens is a person is
totally becoming one with hashem
and when a person totally becomes one
with hashem then that's the level of
bino so based on this
whoever explains that you have in
mishkan there's two levels of chuva
mishkan the regular mishkan that's a
lower level of shuva
and mishka naidos is the higher level of
triva which is the level what of
truevilla
now how are these two connected to the
idea of a phuket moisture moisture
is inspiring both levels whoever
explains very simple
because what's moisture avenue moisture
bainu is we said it's
just bitumen see us totally nullified
and that's connected what to the level
of trivia illah which is mishka neithers
but nevertheless even though it's
officially connected to michigan a
there's two way law
but it has an impact on kudera mishkan
why because when a person does the
higher level of chuva
totally bit of a macias intellect so
then even your lower level of truva of
the media is
then it's also done on a higher and a
different level
so based on this therefore is now going
to explain something very very powerful
and he says like this
there's um it's the although he explains
that it says this is the kude of a
mishkan the counting in the michigan
literally counting
so if the so doctor says could they also
come from the word of pekida
pakita is connecting or that we use
even a deeper word becoming one so
the article explains
connecting becoming one and he gives an
example a practical example like it says
in the talmud it says
let's say for example if you're if
you're you're a married person
and you're going on a trip so before you
leave so that it says
you have to connect reconnect with your
wife before you're leaving
and um it's it's it's explained
in the other places in reference to um
the three commitments that a man has to
give his
is his wife so it says he has to give
her three things
she ra which is food sousa which is
clothing
and they know so spending time together
intimacy now
that that's on a physical level food
clothing and intimacy
what does that mean spiritually so food
we know
just like food someone eats it becomes
internalized
so that's referring to a drawing down
energy that the person could can
accept and can relate to penemius
something which is internalized that's
one level
garments what's garments it's a version
it's a garment so what is that referring
to that's referring to drawing that
energy a mark of energy a high level of
energy but doesn't go internalized but
it goes around the person
aina intimacy that's drawing down
higher from makif of the bush so he goes
from one level to the next
uh
internal external and and all you know
is even from a much higher level
and whoever says and he adds to it that
not only by but through intimacy are you
drawing down from a very very high level
because you're drawing down the essence
um
but even when you receive it you receive
it without any garments it's not a
garment it's no regard so a
it's drawing down a very very high level
and it's also
receiving without any garments and based
on this gerber explains
that the famous uh myth that people say
about the religious people they have
intimacy with a sheet and it says 100
not true why because the fact is if
there's anything in
in in between you have to get divorced
because i have to draw down the highest
level
and there has to be with no with nothing
in between that has to be 100 percent
a real spiritual connection which
obviously has to be obviously a physical
connection as well
now so based on this trevor asks a very
very simple question
in other words what does this doctor
were saying in look at the torah
aleppo has to be connection
acid only connected it has to be yikhud
totally one and like he gives the whole
example of the marriage it has to be
drawing now from the highest level
without any garments and totally
connecting on the deepest level
this comes in continuation with the
altar we just explained before
that mishkan adas is drawing down we
said
the uh like the void of the of the of
the tsadik the higher level of the the
negative precepts the negative
commandments
which is higher than coming into a
vessel
and or and also and could be a michigan
the first level of mishkan is
drawing down the positive commandments
which come into a vessel
so in other words so he the alternatives
explain
that the negative commandments which um
does not come into a vessel or it's the
positive commands which comes
into a vessel and here he's saying is
that the kuda is poi kid
it has to be from the highest levels
where it's totally unified it's really
the odd it's an it's
opposite the opposite opposite ideas
so how do you explain that how do you
explain the two that's question one that
asks
next question i'm asked is um
we have to understand rashi says
something very interesting
you know the question is why didn't say
twice mishkan so until now we explained
according to kabbalah according to
mysticism the whole different levels of
of two different levels of mishka
marashi says
what's the reason why the two mishkans
because it's referring to
the two mishkans that hashem took as a
mosque
as collateral um when the two temples
were destroyed
and why were they destroyed because we
sinned so in other words when you hear
mishkan twice so rashi says it's
referring to nabak we sinned
and the temples were destroyed and
hashem took the mishkan as collateral
so what are you hearing you're hearing
us sinning
on the other hand what is it saying look
at the torah you know what mishkan is
drawing in powerful high levels
the the drawing and energy from the
positive commandments the negative
commandments
up until the alternative says could they
point it it's totally won
so one second here we're saying it's on
from this which is great it's powerful
levels high levels positive commandments
negatives
it's drawing down all these beautiful
things on the other hand we're saying
it's destruction how do the two go
together
so the ruby explains his something very
very extremely powerful and he says like
this
that what happened through the mishkan
mishkan in other words that
nebuchadnezzar golden calf again
according to at least
the opinion that this came that this
came afterwards we sent it for the
golden calf
and hashem said guess what even though
you sinned
i'm giving you the mishkan as an
atonement
so what happens what happens like this
when we sinned unfortunately with the
golden calf
was it a good thing or a bad thing so it
depends how you look at it
you can look at its face value you sit
at the golden gate the people are
sinning oh my gosh it's terrible
siddha says no no no no when we are
sinning for the golden calf
why did hashem allow us to sin you think
hashem just
wants his kids to sin he led us to sin
for no reason
because by sinning hashem
created afterwards a tremendous gift
and a tremendous gift underlying
tremendous gift
of chuva so in other words the
when we sin with the golden calf so you
can look at it they're sinning no no
that's not the way we look at it
we look at it by sinning now we have an
opportunity to do truva
and to be clear there are my rights
don't sin so you should do chuva you
shouldn't sin to begin with
but if you sin the positive aspect is
that we have the ability to do trivial
repent now so based on this
and it's again a powerful idea that when
you look at sinning
when you look at the sin of the golden
calf what do you see you see truva
you see repentance a whole different
perspective someone does something wrong
you can scream look what he did
no on the country this is an opportunity
for growth
you read that soyuzhaliyah going down so
you can go higher
so represent the same thing all says
follow us
on what does rashi say that
we send we the the temple was destroyed
twice
hashem took the mishkan as a mosque as
collateral
ah why did we sin
why did with the sample destroyed so
based on this driver says why would we
sin why was it destroyed
so we can do chuva and what happens
after we do truva we're gonna get back
to moscow we're gonna get back to
collateral
not the same collateral even better
even stronger stronger than before the
destruction
in other words like this the power
and the superiority of truth of
repentance
you know in reference to the avoid of
terror
of mitzvos is that
even after we get disconnected through
sinning
we can do truva tournaments as you learn
terry you do mitzvahs wonderful
truth is that when you mess up you can
return
how can you return hashem says don't do
this and you did it
hashem says do it and you didn't do it
how can you how can you make up
like people say it's spilt milk how can
you get the milk back in the bottle
it's spoiled it's dirty and the answer
is
because the gift that hashem gave us of
chuva
comes from the essence of our soul
and the gift of trua that comes from the
essence of our soul
is connected with the essence of hashem
not with the revealed part of hashem the
torah admits it's a revealed part of
hashem
our essence of our soul connects to the
essence of hashem
through truva now since the essence
of our soul is also not only the essence
of our soul but it's the essence of
all our attributes intellect and
emotions
so therefore we do truva which means
we're bringing out the essence of our
soul
the essence of all of our attributes so
then
even the terror and the mitzvos that we
do and how do you determine this
would reveal the attributes you're
learning intellect you're doing a
mitzvah with your physical body
hands hearts etc so what happens is but
when you do shuver and you're bringing
from the essence of your soul
even the terror in the midst you do
afterwards connects to the essence
which is above nature which is connects
to the infinite
and based on this baseless driver
explains that's the connection
between aylib cody and mishkan where on
one hand picoti comes from
oneness and the other hand it comes from
the idea of mishkan to drawing it down
because when a person does chuva how do
you do truva
because unfortunately the mishkan was
taken as collateral
so our essence of our soul got revealed
so then what happens is our torah and
mitzvahs become without any limits
up until pikuday from the last
year we totally come one with hashem
where israel the jewish people and
hashem are totally
one so here you see something very
powerful the way
you have now the opportunity to do shuva
and when you do chuva you know what
happens
you connect to the essence of hashem and
when you connect to the essence of
hashem you have the ability to connect
the sm even when you're just learning
terry and doing this it's all terrific
itself become totally different
and rubber says that he'd like to add
that this is what it says in the torah
that
the oneness is called pikida
and what is the alternate use as a
reference
of oneness that it's called pakita
based on the the where it says in the
torah that um
that a person is obligated in the talmud
the person is obligated
lift before you going away in a journey
you have to make sure to become one with
your spouse
why do they use this this this this
example from all the examples
and whoever explains very simple because
what is it referring to
when you when you're leaving you're
going on a trip you're not going to be
home for a while
so you have to connect before you leave
on the trip and so
why is he using this example and whoever
says because he's trying to hint us as
follows
because besides the fact that
mishkan that the mishkan that hashem
took us collateral
like we said before the tremendous
hadith was so
that we can do truva and after we do
chuva what's gonna happen is our our
connection is gonna be much greater
in the way of pikiido on a much much
deeper level but representing even
deeper
that even at this moment when we don't
have the mishkan
and when we it's taken away from us even
then there's the oneness
not that it brings to oneness later even
while we're losing it we're connected to
oneness and like
brings and support that many many places
the famous story where it says
that um when the non-jews went into the
nebuchad temple to to desecrate the
temple and to conquer the temple and
take away from the jewish people so what
does it say
so they saw that the uh the kurubim that
the image is on top of the ark
that they were facing one another now we
the the question is a very very simple
question
because we all know that when the jewish
people behaved
the the faces were facing one another
the krypton
unfortunately weren't magically he would
face the other way
so the question there is asked when when
they saw the faces facing one another
which means
that refers to the love of the two faces
hashem and the jewish people
just like two of a man and a woman
they're facing each other because
they're in love with each other
when the gentiles came in to take over
the temple
unfortunately why were they able to take
over the temple because we sinned
and therefore they were able to destroy
the temple so if we were sinning and
that's why we were losing the temple so
why was the why was the two crimes
facing each other
but what's the reason is because in the
time of gullis
when we are in exile we are like
a woman a spouse that
the husband left her and therefore
since we were going into so we were
losing the temple that means hashem was
leaving us
so to speak so hashem who's the husband
has to be poique they asked to become
one with us
and because hashem had to become one
with us because we were leaving
therefore the crewmen were facing each
other
now the fact is we didn't feel it
we didn't see it it was there it
it was we didn't feel it the crippling
was there what does that mean
that even though we didn't feel it but
cons in a concealed way for sure hashem
was facing us
in a revealed way there was destruction
we lost the temple
but in a concealed way the connection
was there which basically means
that through our spiritual work in
gallus
in hashem is not revealed right now and
specifically when we do our avodah today
of truva we return to hashem whether
it's on the level of the lower level of
our emotions at a higher level the level
of intellect
so then we're going to have the key dot
not only in a concealed way
but represents we're going to have the
paquito when we do our avoid the ingalls
and specifically chuva will have the
paquita in a revealed way
with the building of the third base
amigdas
and then hashem is going to give back
the mishkan the mosque and the
collateral
which collateral the the regular mishkan
the first
michigan aid is the second one obviously
all the different levels like explain
this to the discourse
with the mitchell shem coming the bias
mashiach
will come because mama's very very soon
and very very quick
this is obviously a powerful civic
discourse
it teaches us on the spiritual level the
whole idea
of of the two levels of the mishkan but
here you have tremendous insight into
intellect
the intellect emotions but i think one
of the major takeaway messages over here
is
that when someone nabach
gets disconnected there's no
disconnection
there's no disconnection on the contrary
the disconnection that we look as
looks like in this connection whether
it's within or from without or also
somebody else
it's really all about the opportunity to
connect
on the deepest levels and we connect on
the deepest levels allows us
to keep that fiery and deep connection
into every action of learning terror and
doing missiles which are seemingly a
lower connection
but by doing chuva we connect much
deeper that helps us into every part of
our life
let's hope as deborah finished off and
said mention before the next class will
be together
in your mirror
because have a great and blessed week
