The Kabbalah of Jewish Servantואלה המשפטים אשר תשים לפניהם כי תקנה עבד עברי Kabbalah Rabbi Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on this. We're [snorts] going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb. The name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse. That year was the 24th day, the month of which is also the Shabas that blessed the month of the first of in the year 42 years ago. So again, theic discourse is based on the ver opening verse of this week's Torah portion where it says These are the laws that you should put in front of them and then what is the law? So it says the first lawn when you acquire a a a Hebrew slave says we know the uh questions that are asked in the discourses of the previous in the differentic discourse from the from the other up to the discourse of the previous and the question they ask is it says in front of them that's plural multiple people. So we're talking about should give the the the laws to multiple people. But then it says when you will acquire which is singular if if we're dealing with multiple terms of when all of you going to acquire because the fact is when it says that is one of the laws that he's telling everybody. So if he's telling everybody why doesn't say kick also what does it mean with nahhem in front of them? Also we have to understand what he starts off when he says that he that he starts with the first law is about a Hebrew Hebrew slave but seemingly this idea of hiring EA slave it's something which is not which is not necessarily something which happens every day and [snorts] something which which is very very usual and like understood what Kazal tell us which actually Rashi brings in his commentary on Tyra that there has to be a lot of conditions to be able to be to be a a Hebrew slave. However, the the items that are dealt with afterwards, that's something which is more probable and that's something which more happens. So why does he start specifically with that law also? Why does he use a term and when you'll acquire and not another expression? There's different expressions etc. Oh, and and and and then there's also different other questions that brought down theic discourses and in the in the in the commentaries on the verses in in the para. So the point of the explanation is that this that it says and it says in in a singular term is actually referring to what it says before beforehand. What does it say beforehand? These are laws that you should place because tim is singular. So the is plural referring to the receiver that's plural but the person putting it it's saying that he's putting it singular. So that's why when it says when you acquire is connected to what the word that it says. In other words, the commandment of when he's telling you when you acquire [snorts] that Moshin is telling you is referring to what he's placing in front of them as Kazal tell us and Rashi actually brings that when it says the it's a continuation of before and there just like the the previous commandments come from Mount Si. So this also comes from mount si and just like mob received the from si. So the same thing also he received all these laws and that's that mo should place the law in the law and obviously in front of you. Now what does it mean in front of you? So means comes from a Hebrew word your internal part. In other words that it should it's something which you you should take in in an internal level of your soul and when you internalize it then it will penetrate your thought your speech and your action. So that [snorts] is one idea of also means it's referring to the internal part of the kabala etc. And like the like the Talmi says that when it says it's like putting which what are you putting it's you're putting a treasure and we know mysticism is all a treasure because the the the is basically the the the treasure of the and that's the revolutionary idea in this para these are the laws that even that even though laws are seemingly simple laws which people intellectually would understand it as well and like it says clearly in the Talmud that if Torah wasn't given to the Jewish people we would learn the laws of modesty from different animals of so on and so forth and how much more so the the speeches that Abel speaks but nevertheless we all have an internal part and that's the treasure and that's the internal part which is even higher and that's the part that Mosheren gives us now he starts off listen what's the first thing he's giving us and in an internal way is the law of a Hebrew slave. Why? Because the spiritual significance of a Hebrew a Hebrew slave has to be in every single person. How is that? So we know the verse says basis I plant in the Jewish people the seed of an animal and the seed seed seed of mankind. And it's explained in many many places that the Jewish people are divided into two levels. The level of zerodom, the seed of a man, a human and zeroba, the seed of an animal. What does that mean practically? That when we say the seed of an animal, that's not a compliment. It's referring to someone that acts like an animal. And you have to become take the animal part and become like a like a slave, which means that you're willing to accept. Zera means that you're a person with intellect understanding. So you refine yourself. Zer means you just want to do what you want. So how do you go ahead and take someone that wants to do what they want. So basically there's only one way you have to be evid I'm ready to accept because you don't understand it. You don't comprehend it. You're lacking the intellectual um refinement. So the way to way to stay connected is by just accepting. Now even though the Hebrew slave is the lowest level of the level of slavery higher than that we know spiritually referring to the female slave like explained in theic discourses but nevertheless the first level of serving Hashem is the evid the Hebrew slave which is basically not only that even someone that's in the level of zerod which means he he meditates he uses his mind but the fact is you have an animal soul within you and your animal soul is in your physical body your coarse body like the alter writes and the source of the animal soul and the body comes from a place called tuda a place where where it's division it's not unified and also you it has a connection to the physical body and the physical world so because every single human being even zam is connected to the body connected to the animal soul a person has to do the spiritual work of of a servant. What does a servant practically mean? Acceptance. That's one word. And the second word is bal means you're ready to accept. You're ready to do whatever wants. And let's explain theic discourse discourses that what is the idea of a void work. It's like you take a a piece of hide, a piece of leather, and you have to work it out. And know you have to work and you have to transform your nature and the way you do things habitually. And like the Talmet says, what's the difference between someone that serves Hashem and someone that doesn't serve Hashem? So someone doesn't serve Hashem doesn't mean he doesn't totally serve Hashem. He means he serves Hashem. But let's say his nature is to learn something 100 times, he learns it 100 times. But what's someone that serves Hashem? You learn it 101 times with all the different cabalistic insights into it. And there what's the point that 100 that's your nature. So that's you didn't you didn't you're not serving yet. But when you go to 101 that's called that because that's something you start rationally. Why should I do 1001? I did it 100 times. That's called you're accepting and that's called and that's called working out the hide which means you work and you transform your nature and the way you're accustomed to do doing things. And that's why it says when you hire a a Jewish slave which means you're going to go more than you naturally want to go to. You're going to do you're gonna accept you're going to be so what does it say for six years? You have to work. What happens in the seventh year? Then you go free. In other words, the working of accepting and applies to the whole sphere of time which which is included in the in the number six. In other words, like we know it says like a six for for for uh um six years you work and the seventh you go free. In other words, what is it connected? We know the se six days of the week that we work and then you have shabas which is a day of rest. And the same thing also you have with the jubilee years and the fifth year because every day has its type of work like the zora says clearly and as we know it says the zora says every single day you have to transform and therefore he says means every single day you have to work on accept things because you have to have the the work of acceptance has to affect all the level of time means all the six days of the week and all the six years etc. Then comes the seventh day which is basically shabas and the same thing also if you have six years you have the seventh year and then you can become free but you have to do the work for six days and six years and based on this we'll understand why it says when you acquire it's a beautiful insight says what it says you acquiren seemingly [snorts] how is it possible someone that's in the level of zerah which means you're basically someone that that you just do what you want. How can you become an every how can you all of a sudden decided to listen to Hashem and you're going to accept and even somebody who's in the level of zeram which means they're more of an an intellectual connection to Hashem but you're connected to the to the you have an animal soul you have a body so the answer is what does sikna mean it's like a kenyan you acquire something and and it doesn't use a different expression what you're going to take what what does that mean because a means Nothing was really changed. But a kenya means it went over from one possession to the other session. Kika means it it was right here and now it transferred to here. The thing changed. The thing didn't change. It went from the from the from the possession of the seller to the possession of the buyer. In other words, nothing is new. What changed was that before it was concealed by you and now it got revealed by you. But it's nothing new. What does that mean practically? Like it says in the Tory that we lived on the other side of the river. And what does that mean? That the source from the Jewish people even the those that are which basically just does whatever they want. What's the source? It comes from the other side. What it means the other side. It's above all logic and all all predictions and all flows etc. And that and that and and that and that's why someone that's the level of a zera is connected to weir really he's connected in its source of beah before and even someone that's from zerod he's means human being but has the same letters as so if you take a different permutation it's coming from a very very high s high source and therefore to draw in that into the human being it's not something which is do and it all you're doing is revealing something which is concealed. They're saying something revolutionary. So when it says kick is trying to teach you that even though you're a beo and even though you have an animal soul and even have your body but relax the in its source we're connected above logic in its source we're connected to Hashem the only thing that's not concealed. You don't have to create anything new when you're practicing or yeah it might be a little difficult but remember it's not something new to you cuz in the source we we are connected to Hashem and that's why it says when you acquire in a singular term why because who causes this to come down into reality like it says in reference to from the water he was drawn from the water. What does that mean spiritually? That his source is from a very very high level of from a very very high world. And because Mohish is from a high world and he comes down to this world, he has the power to draw this down into every single human being. The level of zeram even if someone's in the level of zera, he can draw down from a higher place what our what our source really is. So based on we just learned we'll understand the continuation of this Torah portion to the Torah portion of which is referring to when the Jewish people receive the Torah because what's the whole idea of the Hashem gave the Torah? It's basically drawing down the Torah from the highest level down to the lowest level. However, which is referring to laws of logic etc. So that's what we're elevating the world is bringing down the down into this world elevating the world and like literally because we know that Hashem gave the Tory where is the Torah on high like it says clearly in Hashem spoke to us from heaven. However, when it comes to learning Tyra, that goes from the lowest to the highest level and like like the famous expression when a child starts learning. So his parents teach him the Tyra and afterwards when he comes five-year-old he starts learning the the mikra he starts reading and until he comes to the internal part until he becomes to the level of he learns to he teaches he grows in Torah which is the ultimate of completion of Torah and up to the point where you connect Hashem with the Torah and not only that through the fact that you learn Tyra you make a full vessel which is basically a a a vessel and preparation for all the highest levels which is even higher than the part you can do yourself until you come to the level where Hashem says wow I'm I you you actually made me who I am by through our learning Tory and finishes off and he said it should be the will of Hashem by doing these two um paths of learn of of Tyra which means bringing the Torah down then elevating the world through Tyra we're going to come to the to the completion of what it says about six six um um years you should work which is referring to the 6,000 millenniums that we have the world and it's going to we're going to come to the level of that afterwards you can you can marry off um the the you can marry the son up to the point where you go out free without any money like it says in the the prophets a very very powerful pro piece in the prophet says that we were sold into slavery without any money and if we're going to be redeemed without any money and not only that since we have the idea that you add on Shabas and you you you and you add into the seventh year. So so obviously at the end of the sixth millennium we're going to go within one moment and in one second we're going to go to the coming of Messiah the righteous Messiah which should happen very very soon very very literally in our days. So here you have another beautiful discourse of the real power of that we have the power to accept and we have the power to elevate ourselves elevate the world and we're going to have the coming of Msiach and next class will be have a great and blessed week shu 12.
