The Kabbalah of the Real Power of Yehuda "Revealed Humility" A new class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class exit this we're going to be learning a beautiful acidic discourse in the rebbe the name of the acidic discourse is called yehuda ato that yehuda you your brothers are going to uh acknowledge you in a great way the rebels said the specific discourse on monday night which is the night before tuesday in paris um the tenth day of the month of taves in the year tough shin lamin and the rubber said this from his room so the rubber quotes the verse in the torah portion where yaakov he blesses his children and the blessing he says to yehuda is your brothers are going to acknowledge you in a great beautiful big way so the river brings from the altareba um in the uh civic discourse in toyota the author's book of siddhis on the parasha and he says over there as f follows that when it says yehuda we know that yehuda when he was born so his mother called him yehuda and she said why am i calling you yehuda because hashem now i'm going to acknowledge hashem for the tremendous gift and a tremendous blessing that he gave me another child so hidayah acknowledgement being grateful is a very very beautiful quality and this idea of being acknowledging is not only referring to the idea of yehuda the altered says but it's generally speaking about all the jewish people acknowledging the tremendous um great uh uh great blessings that hashem gives us and um so why you do that you're what's up to your brothers acknowledging the gratefulness so the alter says that in order for the acknowledgement should be in a revealed way that's going to happen through the brothers in other words like this the fact is we all deep down subconsciously acknowledge all the gratefulness that hashem does for us does for us did for us will do for us but in order for it to be in a revealed way it's after you do that comes about specifically through your brothers which brothers obviously the brothers that were alive beforehand ruvain shimon and levi the brothers that were born before yehudah so that's the uh kabbalistic insight of you the that your brothers rhuvain sriman levy they're the ones that cause and bring about the acknowledgement of yehuda that it should be the revealed way and um he explained something the alter explains uh kabbalistically that ruvain and shimon that represents the first two portions of shma that we say every single every single day and levy the third brother represents the uh prayer that we say right after shema of ms the yativ which comes after krishna and after you have the two portions of shema which represents ruben and sherman and you have the ms of the active represents by by by levy then you come to schmoy nassri and we know schweinster that is the greatest and the most powerful haida acknowledgement and humility which is represented by the idea of yehuda so that's what the arthur says in toyota and the rep is going to explain this and he says as follows what's the whole idea spiritually of rouvain reuven comes when he was born so his mother said kira because hashem saw hashem saw my challenges and shimon was named as the mother said because shama hashem heard my prayers what does that mean to see and what does that mean to hear in a practical way of serving hashem which applies to each and every one of us so the rubber explains that ruvin means to see what does it mean to see that the way we serve hashem is not through comprehension enough just through comprehension but it's in a way of real of seeing what does that mean that the acknowledgement and the reality of hashem and godliness is not in a way that we just hear it but we actually see it in a very very very clear way all the gifts that hashem gives us like for example when someone sees something if someone only hears something so you can just argue you heard it right you didn't hear it right maybe it wasn't 100 the way the way you heard is really what happened but when someone sees something what can you say to the person i saw it this is what i saw so when a person sees something there's no doubt since you actually saw it so what does that mean practically when you're serving hashem that when a person meditates about the fact that hashem runs the world and hashem is involved in every single part of my life it's in a way of real that we see it that which is a 100 true as if you see it and when a person sees that hashem creates the world maintains the world and runs the world and everything in my life is coming from hashem what happens then when you not just hear it or understand it or comprehend it or it's a nice theory but when you actually see that every part of your life is being run by hashem self then what happens is you start having real ava hashem then you start really loving hashem because you see the way hashem is running running your life hashem is so giving you all these blessings then you develop a real love for hashem like um like like it says in the verse reference through and kira because she saw um that kiata now yeah vani ishii my husband is going to love me which that is basically the connection to the first parasha of shema which is connected to rhuvain because what does it say in the first parasha it says you should love god your god how do you come about loving god your god the greater you see in a revealed way the way hashem is running your life and all the blessings you have as for hashem that will give you the greatest love so the seeing will give you the love and if you have the love that means you see it so if you want to have a greater love for hashem you need to work on seeing hashem in your life hashtag protest divine providence and the more you work on literally seeing it love is going to be flowing for hashem and if you have love for hashem obviously your life will be blessed in a beautiful powerful great way so that is the avoider of ruvin seeing hashem which creates true love russian then there's the avodah of shimon what does shimon mean what does that mean to hear that your work is spiritual work is in a way of shmia you hear it you understand it but not on the same level of seeing it so what does that mean hearing means i hear it's not as close as seeing it in kabbalah it's called rihook you're further away like for example somebody hears something someone told them something but you yourself didn't see it so therefore since you don't see it you only heard about it it's not love it's all all comes from far away love comes from close all comes from far and that's represented by the second parasha of shema what does it say in the second parish of schwab how you smooth if you're going to hear and then it says in the second paragraph be careful which is all referring to the idea where the relationship with hashem is in a level of shemia and because it's in a level of shemia what it affects within you which emotion doesn't stimulate it stimulates the emotion of of yirah of or or of or that is ruvain the first pasha riya seeing and that is the idea of love the second power says my hearing and that creates awesomeness or however when you come to the third which is referring to levy what is levy when levy was called what was he called so he's called lady um i'll shame you that my husband's going to what go ahead and cleave to me and knows what does that mean after you say shma and you say ms viative hadover you know what is that what's this thing it's referring to torah because what happens when you learn torah then you can create a cleaving effect with hashem those are the three levels of the two portions of shema and shiatsu if roman shivanand levy seeing hearing connection love or and learning torah now what does that mean practically so the rubber explains as follows these three levels of what ruvain sriman and levy those are the three pillars that the world stands on now there's the general world the global world but we all know uh even though you have the global world but every single person is a little world a miniature world atem kriya modem you are called human beings what is that what are the three pillars that we stand on we stand on three pillars torah learning torah avoid praying and gaming doing acts of charity and which refers to generally all the mitzvahs so the three pillars that give us strength to stand is the pillar of learning torah prayer and doing the mixed voice ruvain what we say before what's revained reuven develops is love love for hashem love is in the in the track of of doing the mitzvos acts of kindness charity why what's the connection between between revain and love and doing acts of kindness and charity is very simple because what happens is when you see hashem then you love hashem and if you love hashem you love his people because we know that loving hashem and loving the people it's all the same hashem created everybody and therefore because you love hashem therefore you're busy doing you're doing acts of kindness acts of charity because when it happens is when a person is in love when a person has love that is the cause and that is the internal reason for any hazard in other words any time you see someone doing something good an act of kindness what's the motivation deep down because it comes from a place of love love fuels khasit um in kabbalistic terms it's called mila lamata anytime you see any time you love you're f you're flowing you're giving off powerful energy that's the first idea so the connection between ruvain love and gamilas khasid which which is all connected then you have the second one we said is shimon what a shimmer in hearing far gyro awesome what is that that's the avoider of praying why is that because prayer is just like khasir is on the right side prayers on the left side and specifically prayer we're talking the second the second uh part of krishna which is the elevation in the world of kabbalah just like prayers no matter as we we discussed many times so this prayer you're dealing with the animal soul so you're dealing with the mata you're dealing with struggling with the animal soul they're trying to transform it that's the avoider of prayer prayer is smear then you have the avoid of levy levy is we said you love ishii alai which is idea of torah why because by us learning torah what happens is you create a connection torah hashem and the jewish people become one through torah and that's why he says you love the israeli because it creates the real connection because through learning torah there becomes a connection between us and hashem up until the point the connection is so strong that hashem and the jewish people become totally one and that's why it says by emma's fiat the truth and something that will stand hadavra said this thing which is with reference to tell your cousin creates the greatest bond between hashem and the jewish people now so so far we dealt with ruving shriman and levy love or and learning torah milmay lamatta malmatilam island and the deep connection but now we're going to go into yehuda that yehuda through the avoid of the brothers reuven shimon levy we come to the highest level of yehuda what does that mean that through the avodah of reuben shimano levy which is the two two sections of shema and emma's fiat if that creates a preparation to the level of yehuda the level of esri which is the level of bitter the level of acknowledgement and true humility just like and i'll say it in hebrew and i'll translate it by like just like a devout servant standing in front of his master with total respect and total humility why because the the service the spiritual service not just in the prayer we're talking specifically the prayer service of the shmoiner estrella is on a level of ultimate humility in hebrew it's called bitter bataclas total surrender total humility much higher than the humility of krishna when you say smarts also humility we and it's powerful but the monastery humility is totally off the charts and we know for example this this this that you now didn't actually make a separation between sheman schweinster you can't talk out why because you're going from one level of humility to the next level of humility so it was through the avoid of ruvain shimon and levi the two sections of shema and this viative then you come to the fourth son yehuda which is what the idea of the highest level of humility of us and whatever says we find the same idea in reference to the three crowns what do we know there's three crowns the tests and ethics are our fathers you have the crown of torah which is levy the crown of kahuna the crown of malchus which is torah trilo and and torah and prayer and doing charity those are the three crowns ruben shimon and levi torah prayer and acts of kindness prayer is levy but then you have the fourth crown what's the fourth crown casama is totally above them all but the fact is in order to get the casa shantae you have to first have the first three crowns so in order to get the castle chant of the ultimate humility you first need the first three torah avoid ignorance torah and prayer and doing mitzvos then you can come to the highest level the crown of yehuda of casashantov now so you ever asked a simple question why is it that you have to in order to get the yehuda total surrender total imminent why do you need to have toy rabbi the camille scotland first and gerber explains very simple that humility and surrender we all have we all surrender hashem but the goal is that our humility shouldn't just be in a subconscious way it shouldn't be in a in our subconscious it should be revealed so if we want that our humility should be on the highest level but in the revealed way you have to have ruben steven levy first because the in a concealed way an internal way shall we acknowledge how can we not acknowledge islam created us something gives us everything sure subconsciously we know it but we want it to be revealed and as the the the rubber brings from from the altar he says in terror that yehuda comes from um hidoyah which is acknowledging so that's humility but his name is not haida his name is yehuda in other words the yud before hidayah means it's steady like for example kakayase you've called it when you have the you that means it should happen constantly so that goal is that the haida shouldn't just be subconsciously and at certain moments but you want that you you that the acknowledgement to your middle should be always so how does that happen that happens specifically when you have the avoider of ruvving shimon levy first toy rav another like this what what did when when uh yehuda was born so what did his mother say now i'm gonna acknowledge and i'm gonna have true recognition and humility for hashem which means basically in a revealed way it wasn't always there right now she had a child so she's really grateful now her paramourie is hashem why why don't you acknowledge it always why shouldn't we always acknowledge the fact what changed hashem has always gave us everything gives us that why aren't we always acknowledging hashem because the fact is unfortunately we're living in a world where we're in a world world in hebrew is called islam also comes from the word of hellm concealment so because it's a concealment of our physical body and of our animal soul and how much more so we're in the concealment of exile so because godliness is concealed so we don't have acknowledgement always however the godly soul from within us which the godliness is a part of god sure the godly soul always is connected to hashem and always has an acknowledgement for hashem's greatness and there's no and there's no there's no up highs and lows with the godly soul however we're living in a concealed world we're living in a body so from the godly souls perspective we always are grateful to hashem but because we're in a concealed place we're in a concealed world a concerned body and we're in gullahs so the acknowledgment is not always there so we but we want to be able to acknowledge always so therefore you have to have the introduction of the spiritual work of ruvain milos kasset ava shimon prayer hero levy learning torah to awaken within us that the acknowledgement which is internally within us in our heart should be revealed until it actually not only it should be revealed but it should come out that we should be grateful in our thoughts we should constantly be thinking of grateful thoughts we should be speaking words of being grateful and in our action we should be grateful and as the verse continues and it says in reference to yehuda that when you have yehudah when you're grateful again in a revealed way through the introduction of rubinship and levy then what does it say then your hand is on the neck of your enemy in other words that the revelation of the acknowledgement of yehuda comes in a physical way and in a spiritual way and in other words obviously the verse says clearly it means literally but not only physically but also spiritually and after your hand is in the neck of your enemy what does it say afterwards gur arya yehuda that yehudah is the strong as a lion la yasser shavit me yehudah youth is always going to be the real leader of the jewish people and the rebels says it's possible to say that we that this that we say yat your hand will be on the neck of the enemy is that's going to happen even before the redemption yehuda is ultimately going to be the ultimate redeemer but even before the redemption already you're going to have yat khmer rebecca why because this idea of guru arya yehudah yehudah is going to be the spiritual lion that and and and the fact that you also shape you who the yehuda is going to be the the line of kingdom for the jewish people that's referring to who king david king solomon that from their ancestry is going to be coming out the king mashiach the king of messiah that's going to come out and as it says what comes shavet me astral there's going to be a leader from the jewish people and as we know the prophet says we have the david melech our servant king david is going to be the king or as it says in the prophets with david abdi nasi lahm that king david is going to be the the leader forever and like for example he said in the indian shabbat but be so that's in general the way it's going to be when the shia comes but even before that yat khabib rebecca is going to happen before that unless we when when we're living in the end of the times of galas it's going to what we're going to see is that our hand is going to be on on the neck of the enemy what does that mean that all the enemies of the jewish people because we know for example all the jewish people are are are called yehuda but all the jew all the enemies on the enemies they're going to be afraid an emotional fear they're going to be afraid of the jewish people how how does that happen that happens when we do our part when we acknowledge the greatness of hashem we're grateful not in a concealed way but in a revealed way and when we do it not just we're grateful in a state of being but as but as we said before makshava in our thoughts we're grateful for everything from when we get up in the morning till we go to sleep we're grateful in our mind in our speech we practice speaking words of being grateful in the world of action we're we're grateful with since my titular tomorrow means we go in the ways of hashem and by by going in the ways of hashem by being grateful for the all the blessings hashem gives us then vernaflow of all the enemies will go away from us and um based on this travis says this is possibly the connection where it says that yehuda you do which again by doing the work of reuven shimon levy torah triland staka love on learning torah through that we come to the greatness level of great being grateful then what happens all the enemies are afraid and then then we can come to what the name of the torah portion is by yahiyakubert and sriam that even in the land of egypt yaakov can live what does that mean what's misrayam mitzrayim resembles gullus that even unfortunately for living in gallus and we know that all the exiles are named after the original first gullus and but even though we're in galas by we can live how can you live if it's gullah's god's concealed how can you really live and the answer is very simple by learning torah and especially learning siddhis because so this is not only called terror it's called terrorist hayem toyota of life and when we we do our mitch voice we we do the 613 commandments the 248 positive the 300 365 negative because in reference to mitch's what does it say in the torah of ibrahim we should live by them that means that by doing the mitzvoth we will become alive and jeremy brings down the famous um um inside of the of the altareba that he told his grandson that's and he told them as follows it says how did yaakov live in eretz mitsuram and it says his best years he lived in it's gullahs how do you live in gullah's and the outer right told his grandson that's because he went ahead and he sent yahudah first why did he send you the first to establish a yeshiva over there so that they can learn when you have a yeshiva and you learn then it could be barretts and sram and when you have a yakibaran time through learning then you have yehuda which again that all the enemies are going to go away by learning torahs we know it says in the talmud that when you have coil curl yakov when basically the when you when the shules and the yeshivas um are strong and the coil of yaakov is strong it means people pray and people study aesop cannot have any influence on us and not only that even more than that that now they can't even for influence and here comes the beauty that the nations of the world help the jewish people in everything physically so that we can learn torah and do the mitzvahs with abundance not just learn terror and do mitzvahs but learn to intermittents with abundance in a way that we're constantly adding light to our lives and by this not only adding light but the light it's not just light but the light gets rid of the darkness and brings the ultimate redemption which will come and take us out of gullus so obviously it's a short pacific discourse but it's very very powerful because of the discourse because you see here clearly that when a person lives their life with revealed humility now it's an abode that's work because first you have to do the avodah of seeing godliness in your life which brings you to love hashem which brings you doing the mitzvos and then praying here is hashem and learning torah then your idolatry is in a revealed way you acknowledge hashem in a revealed way when you acknowledge hashem in a revealed way then all the enemies go away and not only that driver says that the nations of the world help us so that we can learn torah and do mitzvos and pray with tremendous so let's hope and pray that we take to live a life in a revealed way of tremendous idaya and this way will be blessed to hopefully god willing next class will give with you have a great and blessed week
