Welcome to our class answer this we're
going to be learning this week a clinic
discourse in the Reba the name of the
Civic discourse is called
the river said this discourse is
which that year was the sixth day of the
month of kashmin in the year tough scene
memo so again the clinic discourse is
based on the verse in this week's total
portion where it says
this is the sign of the Covenant where
it says
I put my bow in the clouds are cast us
and the rainbow was in the clouds
discourse on these verses
um that's actually printed just now
obviously with the urban study discourse
uh and and and and observer said it
seems like it's from the outer web why
are you saying it's cease in the algebra
it never goes on like a side note which
we'll talk about and we'll get back to
the point that he says that disc said
the discourse is a piece which is
actually in the acidic discourse from
the samurai the Altima's grandson
but he says that this piece is actually
in the name of the altariba I said you
could say that not only is this peace
from the altario but also the beginning
of the Hasidic disco system and to point
out that even if you're going to say
that's actually from the summer but it's
still not com difficult to understand
that this that this part that he's
bringing is also in the alterable like
we following other places in order like
ever since we find many places that the
brings
language from the altar of alter over
the first or from the middle of the
second cabadra and he doesn't say that
he's quoting them in other words even
though at times he does say he's quoting
them it's different the fact that at
times he says and he doesn't say and
he's still quoting them so it's not a
proof when he doesn't say that's not
from them
whatever reasons that someone stomach
has there are times he mentions that
he's quoting them the times he quotes
him he doesn't mention it
so therefore the point I was making is
not only is this piece but it's possible
the whole thing's from the altar about
um and this and this doctor doesn't this
is something that doesn't bring the
first part as well he says it could be
for two reasons or it may be that it was
written by The Summit before
um he received that peace from the
altario that's possible or that the part
that's written he receives it afterwards
but the point I was making is whoever
was able to bring this this course
should we receive a tremendous blessing
that we finally have the the powerful
teaching from the altar which again
which is written by this but the fact is
it's for sure it's
and never says he thinks for sure you
must say it's locked from the altariba
okay so that's a sign though let's go
back to the point so in this Civic
discourse
so he says over there as follows he
brings the question that's brought down
in all the commentaries and in the
discourse from the samach sadak in the
beginning again the ultimate's grandson
he actually brings down all the
different commentaries and lists their
names and and their questions Etc and
the question they ask is
what's this novel idea that God says I'm
going to put my rainbow the fact is that
the rainbow existed before the flood as
well
and and he says after after the flow
After the flood oh I'm gonna put my
rainbow in the sky the fact is that the
rainbow is a natural thing
in other words when the sun shines and
then you have on one side of the cloud
and the other side of the cloud you have
you see you see you see the rainbow it's
a natural thing it's not like a new
thing God developed over here so the
question is what does it mean that also
After the flood God says I'm going to
bring my song which is a rainbow we had
the rainbow before
the idea of the clouds then that in
reference to the clouds it says in the
cloud we're going to put the Rainbow on
a spiritual level so first we're going
to try to understand again the the
clouds with the Rainbow on the spiritual
level and he explains like this in
reference to the clouds
um that's in the sky
and obviously on a spiritual level
there's two levels and it was this one a
positive a positive idea about the
clouds in other words that when there's
when there's a powerful light
a very very powerful light that we
cannot we cannot receive and appreciate
so what happens is you need to have the
cloud to find to to diminish a little
bit so we can receive it
so in other words God wants to give us a
big a big gift a big light it's too much
for us so what does God do he creates a
cloud so the cloud will will tone it
down a little bit so we can have a some
kind of benefits from this powerful
light and like for example there because
an example it says we know it says
so you have the youth cave off okay the
infinite part of Hashem you have a
little Kim defining part of Hashem so
just like you have the Sun and you have
the shield so that if you go out into
the sun it's too bright if you can get
burned the same thing also Hawaii is the
infinite part of Hashem is the final
partner serum in other words Justin you
cannot look into the sun without a
shield so the same thing also you cannot
receive the powerful youth cave off okay
without saying mother Kim
so the other Kim acts as a protector for
shame of value just like the there's the
protector for the for the son
and the same thing also Messiah comes
what's going to happen then Hashem is
going to take the Sun out of its
protector and then we're not going to
need to have the seal the same look him
we're going to receive directly from you
came off okay so and and the same the
same idea applies when it comes to
Russian games what is it when Hashem
gave the Torah so it says
why do you have to come down to the
cloud because since the revelation of
Martin Terror and garagese was so
powerful so in order for us to to to to
receive that powerful of Revelation what
you have to have you have to have the
cloud
up to the point that the cloud and its
source is actually higher than the
Revelation like the verse says
the clown and the sources much higher
and that's the same idea like we find in
reference to the uh the the cloud that
comes from the torrent onion Kippur the
incense which how does that come from
that comes when we do chuva which are
obviously referring to the clowns on a
very high level
the level of
okay so what we learned so far there's
one idea of a cloud the purpose of the
cloud is to allow us to benefit from
something very powerful and tones it
down a little bit and actually Derby
says the source of the cloud comes from
a very very high source that's one type
of cloud
but then there's a cloud which is a
negative Cloud what's the negative Cloud
which is referring to when it's so down
the graded in other words because it
comes down from one level to the next
level and one concealment and one
another Veil up to the point where it's
like broken
so in other words so what happens from
there from from the cloud of a holy
Cloud what happens is it comes down
um different permutations of the shame
of looking which is about contractions
so you'll have a cloud which totally
conceals and just and and blocks and
creates a full blockage
and because of that actually the sins
are compared to clowns like it says
our sins are like are connected to word
cloud why because this cloud is
something which totally blocks off and
like it says
our sins create a blockage
and I can explain that Lender ever says
in Tanya in the party in other words
what we learned so far the cloud could
be two things one hand Cloud could be a
tremendous beautiful thing because we
have a very powerful light so we need to
sum down tone it down and the source of
the cloud comes from a very high place
to allow us to experience something
great on the other hand sometimes you
have a cloud that totally blocks
everything and that's actually a source
of sinning because it's totally blockage
you can't connect to the light now
they answer the spiritual
service just like you have the two
levels of clouds on a spiritual level
another a the cloud that allows us to
appreciate and reveal a powerful light
or the second type of cloud which
totally blocks off any light so the same
applies on a return on a physical level
on a materialistic level in other words
you have these light clouds that through
the light clouds something which is
light you're able to see and and
benefits from the Sun at least for for a
short period of time but then you have
clouds on the very that make it very
very dark
and on that it says
um I'll quote
there's a day that the clouds are so
strong it's like a very very day of
judgment so in other words just like you
have on a spiritual level the clown on
one hand allows you to appreciate a
heavy energy or the opposite where the
cloud blocks everything off so the same
thing applies to the physical clouds
their clouds are allowance to benefit
from the Sun and then there are clouds
that totally blocking off and it's
compared to the idea of walls of
judgment
based on this River explains beautifully
that's why now we'll understand the
whole idea of the cat the the Cassius
the rainbow which was
introduced after the flaws what does
that mean it never explains Like This
Before the Flood the world wasn't
refined people send it was a it was a it
was it was not a refined world and
therefore the clouds that existed before
the flood was in a way that the light of
the sun couldn't come through it and we
couldn't benefit from the Sun
and therefore you could not have the the
ray of the the rainbow coming through
the cloud it was too dark it was too
strong however After the flood and the
world got refined from the flood the
world was purified from the tremendous
amount of water so then the clouds
became much more lighter and up to the
point that his son is able to come
through the questions so what was the
rivers crushed me for from all the
different commentaries
the rainbow exist before there's no no
the clouds Before the Flood were so
strong nothing went through
zero benefit
After the flood they became much
Refinery there that were you able to see
the sun that's able to see the rainbow
now
This Cloud which again the higher level
of a cloud on a spiritual on a physical
level which the purpose is to create
Revelation is also connected to watch
the idea of chuva repentance
just like the clouds of the incense
which takes place in on Yom Kippur where
the cloud of the answers come from your
Kipper it comes from the true or the
repentance of Yom Kippur what is that
and they're explaining this in other
words just like literally a cloud
so it says
there's a Mist comes off from the earth
and that that that creates that creates
the ring in other words that the cloud
which is the age the Mist comes from
where it comes from the Earth
where is where is he a cloud from where
does the Mist come from it comes from
the Earth so the same thing also on a
spiritual level that which which refers
to the work from the earth our physical
work what is that that's referring to
trueva so it was just like the Earth
creates the cloud the same thing also
our earth work our work from our from
our first when we do our avoidal which
is true though that create that that
creates the Revelation I like driver
says it's known
but there's three levels of ear between
the Sun and the Earth in other words you
have the ear Which is closest to the Sun
so that's very very hot the sun is very
very hot so the air that's close is very
very hot if you go down further so then
the the the ear which is on the next
level
um that's obviously that's that's very
that's that's the coldest but then when
the the ear goes down to the ground and
it hits when it hits off the ground then
it becomes hotter again
why because since the ear can go lower
and it hits the ground so it's cold in
Kabbalah it's called when it turns
around so again
give the sun you have the Earth the ear
closest to the Sun is the hottest then
it goes down and gets colder but then
when it comes down and hits the ground
then it turns back around because it
can't go any further so it becomes hot
again that what that's called again and
that's like the level of truva
now so therefore so the so since it's
connected idea of true love so when we
do our spiritual avoidance of truva of
returning to Hashem
so then what happens is we create the
cashless we create the rainbow which we
know has three different colors what's
the whole idea of three different colors
on the spiritual level so we know that
the work of truva will return to Hashem
it has to be on all three levels what
are the three levels
in the kindness
Dean judgment Guru and Rockland
compassion and like he explains in the
discourse not only rock from compassion
but rocking and Rob him intense
um intense compassion and when a person
does truva down here in this world under
three levels of hasid kindness in
judgment and Rob him so then what
happens is we receive from a high the
the Rainbow on all three levels the
rainbow of kindness of dinner judgment
and transcommerion and by when you
receive that you what what happens and
we nullify the three different
strands of the opposite of Holiness up
to the point where we erase all the sins
totally erased and totally transforms so
Jervis saying is very very powerful
saying like this what happens as follows
when we do chuva on all three levels
we create the cashless which brings
through that powerful eyes that goes
through the veil and that gives us all
the breath blessing and that's why he
says this is the sign of the Covenant as
kashti NASA that I put my rainbow in the
clouds in other words when we do we do
our work of returning Hashem so what do
we do we create the unknown which Cloud
the cloud the upgraded clouds
that and these clouds bring all the
blessings like it says God says
and give you reign in your right time
and the way where it's a covenant like
it says that all the days you're gonna
have all the different seasons the four
different seasons of the year and Hashem
is gonna create on a consistent level
like you're supposed to and not only
that as kashti and satibhana my rainbow
I'm going to put in the clouds in other
words you can say that possibly that
in reference to the rainbow which comes
through the cloud you even have higher
than all the blessings that come from
the cloud the cloud brings one type of
blessing but when the rainbow it's even
a higher blessing and like it's
explained many many places with on on
based on the verses kashti nasati that
the rainbow that I put in to uh the
clouds and those Kashi constantly word
is something which is moikishly
something which is very very close and
part of me which is higher than all the
revelations it's part of me it's almost
like literally part of the essence of a
college world who constantly referring
to the essence of Hashem and like it
says like the the image of the rainbow
that's going to be in the cloud is is
the actually the image of the honor
Hashem and with the this powerful gift
of connecting to the essence of Hashem
is going to be in a way where it's going
to be a covenant and we know that what's
a covenant that two people walk through
um
walk through two parts and then it
becomes one and the goal is that we
become literally one with the color code
and based on this over explain it says
we're going to expand what it says in
Azure this always says a powerful piece
of the sower and it's brought down
actually in the acidic discourses of the
river maharash
in other words don't be don't uh um uh
be ready to receive
until you see what the rainbow and the
clouds so it knows the rainbow the sign
of mashiach why is that because what we
say what is the idea of the caches the
rainbow it's referring to our voice
on all levels of of
judgment and rachman compassion and that
creates the questions that come through
so therefore once we do our voice of
truva and we see the class we see the
the the powerful clouds the the rainbow
coming through the clouds then the story
says oh now you can be ready to receive
you know Messiah is coming why because
all about machine is all about returning
to go like it says clearly
come to bring not even Sinners God
forbid to but the holy people righteous
people to return their sin because when
we reveal the spark of mashiach in every
single person every single childhood
which means the idea of chuva through
that we're able to reveal
that when we do our actions and our
avoidal in in the time of Godless and
especially when we learn these powerful
teachings in Torah what will happen is
we'll have the remembrance on high from
the general covenants that are some ways
with Noah and especially in reference to
the to the to the rainbow and because we
remember
and as it gets brought down you know in
Rosh Hashanah we we read all the
different remembrances
and as we know that's an everlasting
remembrance which is connected with the
essence of our soul like it's explained
that land in the teachers of the river
rashab now this that we say that
that the sun is by Kessa and and it's
called key uh the covering of Rosh
Hashanah and afterwards it comes down
into the Tourette the ancient Yom Kippur
and which is called Yom Kippur is called
one day a year and up to the point
there's a hundred uh blasts of the
surface that we do in Roshana gets drawn
into the of the sukkah because if we
know which is the covering of the sukkah
is made up of three letters
20. Huff is another 20 which total 100
so literally the blast of Rosh Hashanah
of the cipher goes on onto the
shakalasaka and the the Victorious the
the uh it was also part of this and
that's why actually the main part of the
circle is All in This Rock it's all in
the covering and through that we
actually Merit a very very soon to sit
in the sukkah which is going to be made
of the skin of the Leviathan and as
we're gonna have the sucker of peace and
it's going to happen but when Messiah
comes the righteousness
we explained before that the rainbow
oh that's in the clouds
um when they're when you see them you
can know that mashiach is coming and
especially right now that we're in the
last days of mashiach it's called
like the expression is
that defeat King Jersey what does that
mean feet came to the feet because we
know that the feet is referring to the
three festivals that you have to be out
in the regular that you have to go up to
you have to go up to the basement and
that's when the Jewish people went to
the temple pesos
not only in the three festivals but it's
gonna be every single Shabbos every
singles
like it's brought down the Madras and
the and it's like explaining the Madras
energetic discourse in the river
and this and it says over there that
every Shabbos and every res height is
and um and that's going to be coming
through the holy clouds and like it's
like the verse says in the prophets
that we're going to have the the
powerful clouds and up to the point
where it's going to be that we're going
to go fly to Eric just throw on on the
clouds we're gonna go on the clouds you
see it's all connected to the clouds and
when you have the clouds then you have
to be looking forward to mashiach
humming and it's going to happen very
very soon there ever says as it says we
ask them
you're going to be gathered all together
Jewish people that every single one of
us and individually is going to come on
these holy clouds
the company does and the same way we're
coming to see we're going to come to be
seen and it's going to be in a revealed
way with the true and complete
Redemption and like it says
we said in our prayers what does that
mean that before an air Shabbat before
Shabbat starts there's a custom you have
to taste in every single dish so the
same thing also in reference to mashiach
humming and therefore since we're
getting ready for messiah to come so we
have to have like it says in the
prophets all the nations are gonna are
are gonna serve us up to the point that
we're gonna Merit very very soon to the
Gula how much is
the true and complete Redemption
we're going to go with the clouds of
golori a day through with meshiach and
Keno
um to the land of Israel so here you see
you have another beautiful powerful
acidic discourse about the kabbalistic
insights to the different to the rainbow
and the clouds the positive clouds and
negative Cloud but more importantly the
cloud that comes through our voice of
truva and we do our truva on all three
levels
that causes
um uh like he brings in the Zohar the
revelation of mashiach and then we're
going to know that we can get ready for
coming
our next class will be in your shalayim
here have a great and blessed week
