Welcome to our class onus. We're 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 Shabas that
blessed the month of in the
year 63 years ago. whoever went on to
certify and edit this discourse in honor
of
Shabish
year 35 years ago. So again the verse is
based on a verse in the prophet that
says greater is going to be the honor of
this
house the last one from the first one.
So the Reb says there's two different
insights. One one translation is what is
the last one referring to? It's
referring to the second temple that the
second temple is going to be greater
than the first one both in the size of
the building and also the amount of
years that it stood. That's what the
that's the that's what one insight
simple insight. The Zy comes along and
says that the because it says it doesn't
mean the second one. It actually means
the last one. It's referring to the
third temple which is going to be built
God willing very very soon and it's
going to be greater than the first and
the second. So you can say what do you
mean if it's if it's why is it called
the last one? Because both both the
first and the second are part of are
considered part like beforehand the
first because the fact is both of them
didn't last. However, when it comes to
the third base of mikdash it's going to
last forever. That's what the zora says.
That's why the uh what what kazal tell
us that not like a brahavu that said it
was called a har mountain and not like
that said it was called a field but yak
called it a house in other words because
the first temple is is corresponds to
Abraham and the second temple is to to
corresponds to and the third one is
corresponds to yak and the author
explains inra that the connection
between in the third temple and Yakave
because we know Yak is truth and
truth is something that does not have
any doesn't stop and it lasts forever.
Now even though in that teaching of
Kazal where it says not like a rabinu
that called it a mountain and called it
a field and Jacob called it a house.
What is it referring to? Is referring to
the mdash the temple. But the fact is
the expression from the alterb is he
says three different redemptions three
different in other words the first
redemption is in the merit
of the second redemption is in the merit
of and the third redemption is in the
merit of Jacob and he explains over
there that the third redemption that's
an everlasting redemption. What does
that mean? Lit literally because the
what what what is a redemption? What is
the main part of redemption? Building
the base of mdash and because there's an
upgrade in the base of mikdash which
means the base of mikdash is going to
last forever. So therefore the
redemption is a whole different level
and that's why he
connects the the quality of the third
redemption with the quality of the third
mdash.
He liked to add that the reason
why we cut the from the alterb he speaks
about of the quality of the third
redemption because the fact is that the
third redemption is higher than the
quality of the third B mikdash and as we
see that the redemption which means the
gathering of all the the the people that
are in exile when is that going to
happen it's going to happen after the B
mikdash first we're going to build the
bait to mdash and Then everyone's going
to come streaming to Jerusalem. Now, but
the fact is so even though it comes
afterwards, but this quality of the
redemption comes because of the building
of the third base of mikdash and like we
we see in the learn from it with that's
learned from from the quality of the
third base of mdash. Why? Because the
building of the third base of Mikdash is
going to have within it. All all the
qualities that exist including that's
going to bring about the ultimate
redemption that everyone's going to be
brought back to to to Jerusalem. Like it
says in the Zoya in the order of the
flow the way it's going to be in the
future when Msiah comes. So you're going
to have the B mdash being built. You're
going to have then gathering the exiles
and you're going to have after the end
the last thing is going to be the
resurrection of the dead. So you can say
that the the revealed part of the of the
power of the third B mdash which we said
it's going to last forever. Where's that
going to play out? So the first thing we
just learned till now in the in is it
going to be in in in the redemption
part. But where's it going to be in
where's it going to be like the home
run? Where's it going to be the
finishing touch is when we're going to
have the dead the dead are going to be
resurrected and then we're going to have
everlasting life. And he like the
connection connect to what it says in
the
verse which means we're going to live
two days and in the third day we're
going to be stand upright and we're
going to we're live we're going to we're
going to really really live in other
words. So what does it mean the third in
in the third in the third day. So on one
hand it means well it's referring to the
to to the third bet mikdash and this
other opinion that's going on actually
the resurrection of the dead and what's
the connection because when you're going
to have the res resurrection of the dead
that's going to reveal the real power of
the bas
mdash we're going to understand this
based on what kazal tell us what it says
as
follows the lion stood up the mazel in
the the mas of of the masle of lion and
the hik is and he destroyed the real
what what and the message continues what
that happened in
order that that lion again should stand
up in the same mazal of ar and should
build arel so what do we see from here
this that we're saying that the great
big honor of the last the la the last
house is going to be more than the first
one applies even if the first bet to
mikdash wasn't destroyed and even at the
first B mikdash had an everlasting it
lasted forever and but nevertheless the
the lion stood up and he destroyed it so
that the lion can stand up and rebuild
it because then you're going to have
something which is going to be even
greater even if the first basos
um lasted forever how is that the first
one's lasting forever how do you have a
superiority in the third one so he gives
like the example of a baluva someone
that returns versus a saddic a righteous
person. Why? Because the service of a
righteous person even a sadic that
doesn't have an evil inclination and
therefore it's not possible to sin and
basically their their service is
everlasting. There's no sin there. But
the fact is it only reaches in the level
of it reach a certain level a high level
a higher level but it's a level.
However, when someone does chuva, when
someone returns to Hashem, you have the
power to reach, we
call you can go off the charts. And
that's why it says that the lion stood
up and destroyed in order that the the
lion should come and rebuild. And we
know that what does it mean the that the
lion is coming? It's referring to Hashem
like it says in the
prophets. If when when the lion Hashem
is coming, who's not who's not in awe?
And what does that mean? That's that
means practically that's the revelation
of the level of keter
above he'd like to add that even
according to what what what what kazal
tell us that when the
um that when the when when we we came up
from from from exile you could have had
already the the building of the of the
third temple but nevertheless that so
you could have had already then but the
fact is the third temple which going to
be like in the future mashia comes after
se second number is going to be what
much greater. Why? Even though when we
when we returned from from Babylonian
exile after the the fir the the
destruction the first temple and the
fixing of etc we already were we return
so obviously we're level return to
Hashem but the fact is when it comes to
chuva there's there's different levels
and therefore because there's different
levels therefore we had unfortunately
destruction of the first temple and then
we had the second temple and destruction
of the second temple so that and it's
all for one reason that when we work
hard in exile after the destruction at
the second temple. We're going to reach
the ultimate. We have the power today to
reach the ultimate in returning to
Hashem. And because of that, we're going
to have that
this building of the third temple is
going to be much greater on on on all
levels. So based on this, he say like to
explain what tell us that based on the
verse it
says listen to the word of the house of
Jacob
and listen to the words of
until you're not going to hear the words
of the prophets. And then says, "Listen
to the words of the prophets, until you
don't hear the words of of rebuke." And
he finishes all finishes off and says,
"Listen, bodies until you have to hear
the bones." And like he finishes off and
he says the the the dried bones listen
to Hashem. So he he explains one second
that he says listen to the words of
Torah. So you want to listen to the
prophets. You can say very simple
because what's the whole idea of the
prophets? The prophet is telling you to
listen to the Torah. If you listen to
the Torah, you don't need the prophets.
Know if you listen, what do you need the
prophets for? And the same thing also if
you li listen to the prophets, what the
prophets told us. Um because the fact is
the first prophets, they came, they
commanded us to listen to the Torah. So
you wouldn't have to have the rebuke
afterwards. And the same thing also what
it continues on to say the different
levels. But this what he
says that that listening to your body so
you won't have to have the bones. What
do you mean? What does that mean? The
fact is even if we listen to the Torah
and even we listen to the rebuke um we
we wouldn't merit for for the to to to
to God forbid for the for the great
resurrection of the dead we do want to
listen we want the dead to be
resurrected so you can say what does it
mean that when when we went down to the
level that we didn't listen to the words
of Torah so then what happens is we're
going to have the resurrection of the
dead on a much greater level just like
um the building of the third temple
which comes after the destruction. So
then the truva is in a whole a whole
different level. So NAR was going to
explain the the quality of the third
temple over the first and the second and
even compared to the first one like that
that matter of fact even compared to the
second one that would have been on the
same level as the third temple. He says
we will understand this
based first we have to understand the
whole idea of the of the bet mikdash of
the the the temple also the quality. So
the bet migdash referring to the base
mdash the building in the b mikdash but
also the muk mikdash the place in the
mikdash because we know that the place
in the mikdash even before the mikdash
was built is much higher the place
itself than any place in the world like
it says what like the inorah
How awesome is this
place? It was just a space and he said
it's a house of God and the translate
le it's not a simple place. This is a
very very the place itself is holy. In
other words, the whole world is called
it's a place of a regular person. Why?
Because how is the whole world created?
The whole world was created with the 10
utterances which the utterances are
called simple words. However, the place
of the mdash is not simple words. In
other words, even the one you going to
say where the fact is the mdash the
place was built in the 10 utterances and
matter of fact the beginning of the of
the building was was the place where the
ever which is the place of the mikdash
and from there it went to the whole
world.
The fact is he says yes it's true but
the fact is from the 10 utterances it
says
wellim the
name however in the place of the mikdash
over there what happened was we had the
revelation of like he
says so the whole world was
created which is judgment and more
limited however in the place of the
mikdash it says was revealed there's one
second we have to understand the fact is
the quality of the place of the mikdash
over any space in the in in the whole
world is refer in in a revealed fa in in
a reveal in a revealed way is the fact
that you had to bet mdash there not the
space itself because the fact is like we
said the place of the mikdash was
created with 10 utterances like he calls
it
mill and
and it says specifically that um that
but the other hand says specifically the
place is not a place of of of of simple
things what does that mean explain
explains as follows that based on what
it says in explains in that actually the
creation of the world comes
from as we know comes from an expression
of mahaba of creation but if the world
was created strictly and exclusively
from the
shame the world would totally become
nullified so because the yutk was so
powerful and if the yudk would have
directly created the world the world
wouldn't exist. So the in actuality the
world was created through the name
Elohim.
However, the place of the
mikdash was in a way that the that the
name Elohim which minimizes the power of
kb in the world doesn't conceal
on and that's why he says less yet
because in the place of the mikdash what
was felt in a revealed way the creation
the way it was from so saying this yes
the world is created but the fact is the
whole world goes through the the the the
filter of and that's why you don't feel
however in the place of the mikdash what
you feel is the kb and explains idea is
as follows the creation that took place
in the whole world from the name elohim
is a way where it's in in kabala it's
called then because it's it's a diluted
energy it was it's able to get involved
and enclo itself in the world like the
verse says elim so when hashem created
the world he used elohim and therefore
the elim got involved in the
However, the creation
from is something which is called not
where it gets involved in clothe but it
happens automatically says the creation
happens automatically like the ver like
the verse
says would happen by itself. Now so the
then the difference between creation in
other words if creation is youth kovk
happens automatic or if it's elkim and
it gets involved it it reflects on the
relationship from the thing that's
created the thing that created it. In
other words what does it mean
practically when the thing that's
created is close to the thing that's
creating it. So then what happens is
it's
automatic like for so so when you have
the kafk creates so it happens automatic
and he gives an example there's a the
example he gives us two examples he
gives in kabala one is called love cause
and effect in other
words cause and effect means that the
the the the effect has has a um has some
kind of relationship with the cause so
therefore when something is created
cause and effect it happens
automatically
Like for example, you have intellect and
you have emotions. So emotions that's a
byproduct of intellect. Emotions has a
relationship with
intellect. So when you
meditate how great God is automatically
you love him because love and intellect
are
related. That's one analogy. So the
first analogy they give is love. Cause
and effect. So when you use your
intellect and you meditate on something,
the emotion comes. The another analogy
he gives and the analogy to to show
about when God created the world where
it comes
automatic and the other analogy is light
and the source of
light or the ray and and and the light.
So in other words what happens like this
when you have the source of light so the
light that comes out reveals what's in
the
source. So therefore the light the the
the source of light doesn't have to
create the light comes automatic.
So that is the two analogies of the rel
where it happens automatic. The first
analogy is cause and effect and the
second one is however when the thing
that's created has no relationship with
the creator. So then you have to go
create
it because the thing that's creating is
busy um creating the thing that needs to
be created because there no there's no
automatic
relationship. Now the
reason because when you when something
is created
automatic so what is the main point the
source is the main thing and the
byproduct is automatic like the the like
intellect is the main thing and the
emotion comes automatic or the main
thing is the source light comes
automatic so therefore even though when
you're dealing with cause and effect and
it comes automatic so
the thing that's a cause. It's doesn't
reveal it doesn't it doesn't reveal its
its source but but it has its own
dependent existence. But even though the
emotion is an its own emotion but you
see that the emotion came from the
intellect that meditated on it and like
the example intellect and emotions that
when the emotion you feel that that
insight that you
had and that's why it's automatic but in
order to create something which is
farther away from its source so in order
for that to happen it has to be his
slopes. He has to get involved. What
does that mean? What does it mean to get
involved?
Not
only that the source gets revealed but
it literally has to get involved to
create something
new and therefore when it goes involved
and creates something new it it's it's
it's own it's a it's its own independent
existence and what happens is it doesn't
it doesn't recognize its
source. So for example what will be the
example? So the example he gives is I'll
say the words in Hebrew I'll translate
it and p soak is a
force and py is what comes out of the
force. In other words for the reason
what happens like this when you have a
force and then a product comes out of
the force. It doesn't happen by itself.
It's not automatic but the force has to
put it into the into the thing that's
happening.
Why? Because what's happening is
disconnected from its source. So let's
say you have a ball and you want to
throw it. It doesn't say throw it
doesn't go. You have to put in energy a
power and then it goes and then guess
what? It goes on its own. And why is
that? Because the the act that that's
happening it's it's totally something
new from the from its source. You have a
force it's sitting nothing's happening.
So you create a force and the force
pushes it to happen. So since that the
force that's making it happen it's
spiritual and the action is physical. It
moved from point A to point B point B.
So what happens is the the action that
comes from its force it's it's a brand
new it's a brand new activity almost
like not exactly something from
nothing and the power and the energy
that caused it to happen. So it's it's a
it's a new force and once it's over the
force is gone. So what do you see from
here? That when you do an
act that you know that it came from a
force. So through the act you know the
source but in the the the the the
the in in the effect you don't you don't
you don't see that it came from from the
source. Once you through something you
don't give a look. Oh it came in because
of a source. You see the it has a
dependent existence. It's not connected
to its source. Why? Because the power
that made it happen is spiritual and the
physical thing that moved was physical.
So the spiritual energy is not revealed
in the physical
act. What caused that was spiritual. It
move if something moves something you
don't see it. And he he liked to add
that this then the in the action what's
not what you don't feel is the power not
only because of the of of the thing that
happened which you can't compare to the
to the to the force which that
spiritualness and this is this but also
from the the force itself. Why is that?
Because this that the energy that caused
something to happen it's two different
worlds. This is energy and there's
something physical. So therefore to draw
down the power to the physical thing
that happened it
disappears because when you create
something new which has no relationship
to the thing that happened the thing
disappears. So
after this the the the energy was did
its job it's gone. So therefore the
effect that happened you don't see it
afterwards. So any time it's two
different worlds. Once you stop doing
your job, the person that the activity
does not recognize a source. So the same
thing also that's the analogy. The same
thing also practically when God created
the world from the name Elohim which
means he got involved in creating the
world and the the Elohim obviously
spiritual the world is physical. So the
the Elohim energy is not felt in the
world and therefore the world and the
people and the human beings and the
animals and everything was created from
the energy force of
Elohim becomes becomes an independent
existence and their their humility and
acceptance is only they can physically
acknowledge it but they don't totally
disappear. They have their own identity.
That's when you create from Elohim.
However, when this creation from which
happens
automatic, so then that energy is felt
in what was created and therefore the
the the recognition in the thing that
was
created has the power to have total we
call it doesn't exist. So in other words
to recap when you have a creation
from so basically it's disconnected.
It's two different worlds. So once it
creates it, the the thing that was
created doesn't recognize it source.
Yeah, you can acknowledge it. Hello,
goodbye. But when when this comes from
vk, then it does recognize and you have
the power to be told I'm have nothing.
It's all coming from.
Now we're going to go deeper into this.
It's known that in the world of when you
bring two parables or even more is
because obviously the parable doesn't
answer is not doesn't match up exactly
and you have to bring two different ones
and each one brings out a different
point. So you bring two parables and
maybe more because each one brings out a
f a specific fine point and the same
thing applies over here. The reason why
we bring two
parables to to explain why when
something is created
automatic so the thing that's created
stays in close relationship with its
source. So first we brought the analogy
of cause and
effect and then we brought the analogy
of light and the source of
light. Why is that? Because in in the
analogy we're trying to point out is
that even when when there's creation
that happens automatically and you
create something new which obviously has
no connection to its source and like
like it's understood from when when when
when Hashem created the world
with he create he commanded and it came
into being in other words when you say
bria creation that's something from
nothing and when you say yeshm I in is
obviously can't compare this is physical
and that's and that that that's infinite
that's that's nothing now but
nevertheless this you create from youth
from youth kvk in a way that the youth
kovk is still revealed in the thing that
was created what does that mean that it
recognizes the thing that's created
recognize it doesn't have its own
existence and what is its own existence
that the godly energy that created me
and because I feel it that's why totally
nullified and accepted to Hashem but not
that the actual energy is revealed in
the thing that's
created. Why? Since it was created isn't
you can't compare to the source of his
creation. So therefore that that energy
can't be revealed in a revealed
way. Just like in a physical thing you
can't you the the spiritual can't be
revealed in a revealed in a revealed
way. And to add when you're dealing with
and p a force and something that came
from it since which is a power what is
what's the purpose of the power to do
its job and it gets involved. It gets it
it pushes it physically. So this that
the the the power creates something to
happen and what happens is it it it
doesn't stay revealed in it. However,
when you're dealing with the creation of
Yutk
V and Yutk V is happening automatic by
itself. It's not like a force that has
to push it. So obviously it's much much
more greater than the
creation. So it so therefore it's not
revealed because obviously it's it's to
it's totally much higher than that. So
therefore the first analogy of cause and
effect really doesn't m line up so well.
Why? Because when you're dealing with
cause and
effect, the
closeness of the effect to the cause, it
does have a
relationship. And the revelation of the
cause isn't the thing that that is in
the isn't the effect. Like for example,
intellect and emotions. In the emotion,
you see that there's some kind of
connection with
intellect. And let's take intellect and
emotions. So you have the the cause
which is intellect and and the effect of
the emotions. So in the you analyze the
emotion you'll see yes it was a thought
out emotion like for example let's say
you all of a sudden you're inspired with
tremendous love or something because you
understand your intellect that's a good
thing and so you see that you see the
connection so and and that obviously
doesn't apply with with with with the
creation and the world because the fact
is you don't see it but in order to
explain that even when the creation is
something which you and
compare but nevertheless it stays close.
So you have to bring the second analogy
of light the source of light and light.
Why? Because even when light is only a
ray which you can't compare to its
source because the fact is the source is
not in the in the ray in the
light and through the light you only
know that it exists but you don't know
what it is. But nevertheless in the
light you
feel it's close to its source and you
feel its source and it actually is
totally nullified to it. So in the first
one yes it brings out one point but the
but the second point it doesn't bring
out but the fact is he says if that's
the case why don't we just bring the
second one the the light and the the the
light the the source of light and the
light because even in the in the analogy
of the light and the source of light
it's not enough. Why? Because when
you're dealing with the source of light
and
light the closeness of the light to the
source of light and its total acceptance
of it. So the really the fact is the
light is doesn't have its own existence.
The only existence of light is because
it reveals its source. It does doesn't
have doesn't stand on its own two
feet. However, an analogy we're trying
to bring out is that even when creates
the
world of so what does a creation mean?
It's not just a an expansion and
revealing its source. But no, Hashem
created a physical world. And like we
see what it says in Tanya that even if
the world was created
through without the without the the
contraction of Aloim, the fact is people
will be created something from nothing.
Yes, we be totally nullified like the
the nullification of the of the ray of
the sun to the sun. But in order to
explain that something that exists is
still close to its source. So you need
to bring like an independent exist. You
have to bring the analogy of of cause
and effect that even though the that um
the the effect is something and it's not
only a revelation but nevertheless it's
it's close to its source. So each one
brings something else out. of Allah
brings out you can be an independent
existence and you connect to a
source brings out no that that you that
you you're much deeper connected it's
you you you recognize the source in a
deeper way but that wouldn't give you
its independent existence you can say
that the reason
why that they bring first the analogy of
cause and effect before the light and
the source of light because the main
revolutionary idea is that things that
were created from
utk are totally bottled. They're humbled
and they're they're they're connected to
to to you to to they're connected to it
source that to point out even that that
that they're they're existing know
they're something they they exist but
nevertheless what what they recognizes
the source of and that specifically we
get from cause and effect but in order
to explain that the revelation of source
exists also on something which you can
compare to do. So if you have to bring
the analogy of light and the source of
light. So in other words like this
in what you're saying is that there is
some kind of connection but your
independent existence in you're saying
is no how can you compare the two. Okay.
Now it's
known that this that the
world is is is is defined and and
limited in in both in space and in time.
Why is that? How can you have space?
This is here. That's there. It takes
time to get point and takes time to get
from place to point A to point B. Time
and space. It's because the creation was
from
shame because the world was created
from we wouldn't have time and space.
And that's why in the in the beta
mikdash it says
wow God is here. Why? Because in the
base of Mikdash, it was higher than
space. As we know, the place of the ark
didn't take up space. If you measured
from the wall to the ark and from the
end of the ark to the wall and then you
measure from wall to wall, it was the
same the same dimensions. So, how did
they take a space? Because obviously
there was no it was wasn't limited to
time and space. However, the the re the
the re revelation that shine in the B
mikdash what was it yudk vke the way it
went through
Elohim because if you have yudk v
without any mix of elohim that would be
totally no space but this that you had
the holy of holies which basically was a
place that was measured as we know was
20 am 20 amut and we know that the ark
also had a measure measurement two and a
half uh by by two by by one and a half
etc. But nevertheless didn't take up
space. So that's called a union of yudk
and alukim. On one hand it didn't take
up space. On one hand it didn't take up
space. There we have to understand even
when you're dealing with a creation that
comes from VK. So you create something
new which obviously and you can't
compare it to its
source and the revelation of utk in the
world that was created from it is only
in terms of what acceptance and we
recognize that the existence is the utk
that causes us to exist. So therefore
even in the world that's created from
there should have been a limitation of
time and space
without explains and he says as follows
you can say the explanation is with an
introduction that this that we say what
does
mean past present and future all as one
is past present and future that's time
so what do we see from here that even
the world that was created created from
Yuk has time. Okay, fine. The world that
has time past, present, future, it's all
one. So it's time, but it's all but it's
not confined to the time. The same thing
also with space. The world that was
created mikdash from from BVK has space.
But all the four different the six
different sides the four sides top and
bottom is all is all one. So based on
that you can say that the the reason
that the space and time of the world
that was created from is not limited and
it's not divided up even though the
world that's created from you can't
compare to the source where it was
created from why is that it that is
because it has the the element of bal
acceptance and since the whole idea of
past and present and future and all the
six dimensions high top and bottom and
all the four sides. It's not its own
existence but it's the fact that Hashem
created it. So therefore doesn't it
doesn't contradict one another and it's
actually one. So bas explains that to
explain many many places that the place
of the holy of holies actually comes
from.
So even though we know it's it's what's
above space because the fact is the
place of the holy of holies which we
said it's 20 by 20 by 20. So it has a
space but it was a pl a place that was
divided up that means every every am was
in a different area and and the division
came
from. So the fact that you had space and
a division that came from but this
component of the ark that we said didn't
take its place that's the union of kbk
and shame that means that the the the
limitation and division of space and of
the ark comes from and this that wasn't
a measurement measurement that came from
which we which which was revealed in a
in a space of kim which we said is the
union of ykv And it's
called that's one we have to understand
that this that
from creates the vision of space this is
here that's there time because time and
space the way it's created from from
it's something it's an existence and you
have past and you have the present and
you have the future and you have this
space and that space. So he knows what's
when when what's what's what's when when
it's felt in the six different
dimensions of space and the past,
present, future of time that that
godliness is the one that creates it
then it becomes one. So that's the case.
The question is how's it possible that
in the place of the ark, a place that
has a division of space which obviously
it exists, how can you have in that
space the revelation of yk which which
is which which is
infinite. How do you create the two
opposites? The point in the explanation
is like
this. What is elkim? Eloim basically
creates a symptom contraction and it
creates a concealment. So Elohim's
concealment and contraction of light is
only for us us human beings and the
world itself things that were created.
But in reference to yud bk there is no
concealment. So therefore even after yud
enclos itself in the glove of shame and
through the world becomes a something
but the the world does not conceal the
yud and even in the physical of
existence that was created to shame from
the name of and because of that you have
a division of space and time what's
revealed there is kbk and from youth
kbk's
perspective that the world how youth
kibbuff is creating it like he gives the
famous analogy from a teacher and a
student. So if you have a teacher a
brilliant teacher and he has a student
that's a basic
student and way off comprehension level.
So in order for the teacher to teach the
student he can't comprehend shower
everything that he knows. He has to
conceal a lot of his a lot of his ideas
and only thing he gives him over is a
small idea an external idea and even the
idea he has to limit it and he has to
put into garments and he has to conceal
it and he has to give parables. So when
he creates all these tinsum and all
these parables and all these concealment
that's only for the student the teacher
didn't lose anything because the teacher
still sees the the wisdom the way it
is even through the concealment and even
in the garments and even in the par in
the parables and to add in the analogy
of a teacher and a student this that for
the teacher there's no concealment. What
does that mean? after he went and
created the whole concealment and he
diluted a small teaching. So he what
what he still sees is is the is the
internal intellect even in the external
and the garment that that he created
that it's by a teacher and a student.
However, when it comes to Hashem, this
that we're saying there was a
contraction of light, it doesn't mean
literally there was a contraction. Like
in Kabala, it's called theum is not
literally know that doesn't
conceal any of the infinite part of of
of the light. And there's two components
where it doesn't conceal. Point number
one is that after the concealment and
the
contraction the infinite light is
shining in a revealed
way in the place of the concealment just
like before. Wow. In the concealment in
the contraction the infinite light is
shining just before. That's point number
one. And also even while it we're going
through the process of creating a
contraction the contraction of light and
the concealment does not hide anything.
Let's explain to it length. This is the
whole concept of symptoms etc. So based
on now we understand more that even in
the physical existence that is created
through the concealment of of the name
of what is shining there in a revealed
way because the analogy of the student
and the teacher. So when there's a
contraction, so there's a concealment
where the student doesn't see it. Um
because and um and even when the teacher
is trying to to to conceal, so the
teacher is creating a concealment within
himself as well. And therefore after the
concealment when the teacher sees the
intellect in the garments in the
parables, but it's not part of the
garment itself because while he was
going through the process, he had to
conceal it. However, when it comes to
Hashem, the concealment itself, the
contraction himself, the itself, there's
no concealment. So therefore, the
revelation
of is literally exists in a revealed way
in every part of the process. So basis
will understand now what it says last
day in the mikdash in the place of the
mikdash there is no low-level light.
Why? Because the place of the mikdash
it's not a low-level light. And the same
thing also in the place of the ark which
we said doesn't have any measurements
because the space has no limits. Why?
Because the revelation of
yud is fullblown full capacity in the
place of the mikdash and in the place of
the
ark. Now goes further to explain the
idea the less dana means there is no uh
low-level light in the place in the
mikdash the place of the ark more
deeper. So we're going to stand based on
the concept of the union
of or like it
says it's all one. So generally speaking
there there's two explanations that what
does that mean? Explanation number one
is that even the name Elohim which Elim
is all about since
contraction but the reality no elkim is
also even though you look at it as
contracting but the essence and the
purpose is and the vision is to reveal
and know in order that should be
revealed in this physical world yeah you
need to have the symptom the contraction
of so what is when you look at the lim
you can look at the glass is half full
or half empty oh my gosh they're half
full no no it's half empty it's half
empty you look it's half empty no
actually half full because it's creating
a revelation. Yes, albeit a smaller one.
That's one reason. Another explanation
is that both
names, they're both names of Hashem and
Hashem is higher than both of them. But
the will was Hashem was that the
revelation should be in these two
veins infinite and elim finite
revelation and concealment. So based on
the services you'd like to add an
explanation that just that we
say above the above the
contraction on high even the symptom it
doesn't conceal the infinite the
infinite part of Hashem besides what we
explained before why because even the
symptom of the name it's one with Hashem
it's one with and therefore since it's
one of one with Hashem there is no
concealment there so bas you can say
even deeper when we Say less that the
place of the mikdash is not a place of
simple energy and it's saying also the
place of the ark because the revelation
of above
space that was shining in that space was
from the from the space itself as
well and different you can say that this
revelation that there is
no it's not a place of of low-level
energy that's going to be in the third
temple as well. What does that mean? It
was like this. The first temple and the
second temple were were from the four
letters of the name
Yuk. And the we know the four letters of
Yutk are connected to the 10. The first
the first temple is the first base of
mikdash is the higher level ink. There's
two hays. So it's the first H which is
connect the bina and and through that
you reveal the y the the energy of and
the second one was the second h which is
and through there you have the
revelation of the above which is the six
the six emotions and the third temple is
a whole different level it's going to be
keter and like we said be like we like
we brought in the beginning of this
discourse that the y the lion's going to
come which means revealing ketar which
is
above now when you're dealing with the
tensote
So the revelation part and the
concealment part which is again the
revelation is called the light and the
concealment is of the vessel is two
things is the light and you have the
vessel. Now this that that the two ideas
of revelation and concealment the light
and the vessel is the names of hem and
then you have hem which is above it. How
do you bring that in? You bring it
through keter which is which is
basically above. In other words just
like the vision of the spirroina
etc. wears that by the revealed sro of
silos. However, when you're dealing with
the 10 the 10 hidden um spirit that
which are hidden in Kesser over there,
it's all one. And the same thing also
when it comes to the vision of light and
vessels um that in the in the 10 spirit
which are hidden which is basically in
Keter the light in the vessel is all
one. So based on services beautifully
you can say that the the true idea that
in this place is not a ahead it's not a
simple place that even the place
itself is going to be a vessel for the
revelation of on high from a from the
place that's going to be revealed in the
third temple because then what's going
to happen is what's going to be revealed
in a revealed way that the name analim
the way it goes down in the level of the
way it flows down and the same thing
also two ideas of of of uh higher than
space and space where it comes down to
this world that they're openly both
names of hashem and the truth is really
it's all one so bas you can say um we
understand what's brought down many many
places which which explained which
brought down in the beginning of the
discourse that the quality and the
superiority of the third bdash is going
to be something that's going to last
forever so the question is one second we
could have had everlasting in the first
bdash too So why is that the quality of
the third base m we could have in the
first one also you can say the
explanation is because the everlasting
part that could have been in the first
temple that would have been from the
revelation of above above above time but
the revolutionary idea in the
everlasting part in the third temple is
that even in this in the in in the
limitation of time it it's going to have
it's going to be a vessel for it as
well. Time will be a vessel for the
infinite and that's the quality of the
third base mdash that's going to last
forever because true infinite something
that lasts forever. It's not because
it's coming down from on high but
literally the the the place itself is a
vessel for it and that everlasting
vessel is going to be specifically where
in the third base of mdash and by
creating the revelation of the union
of elim on that level which is going to
be basically in the third temple it
means even the space that was created
from is going to be a vessel for the
revelation of yudk which is higher than
the space. So we're going to be able to
draw down that concept not only the beta
mdash but in the whole world. And when
is that going to happen? When is that
revelation going to happen? That's going
to happen by the redemption which going
to be after the building of the B mdash.
Now the
reason that the the the ultimate
redemption is going to be a redemption
that's going to last forever and there's
never going to be exile afterwards
because the world is going to be ready
for the redemption. And like the altar
explains in in inra that the third
redemption is in the merit of Yak. And
we know Yakov is all about truth. And in
truth there is no change because the
true idea of infinite which is which
comes from truth is that the physical
world the physical world we be a vessel
and ready for it. And the same thing
also when it comes to gathering of the
exiles the redemption the gula which is
going to be on all different on all six
corners of space like the the prophet
says misra from
the bring from the east from the from
from the from the west I'm going to I'm
going to gather you and from the north
I'm going to gather you and from the
south and from from far away and from
all over the world etc. You can say and
and use the term far away and the other
corner is referring to obviously higher
and lower. It means it covers all
different levels um north, south, east,
west and top and bottom. So you can say
that basically the gathering of the
exile from all different sides is going
to be that literally that all the six
spaces are going to help make it happen.
Now even
though that the revelation that's going
to come into the world is only going to
be like a taste of the revelation of the
base of what's going to happen in the
base mash itself. But nevertheless there
is a certain advantage in the when when
it comes down into the world. Why is
that? Because the union of which takes
place in the base mdash and like we said
there's a it's a place that there's no
head yet. Everything is a it's at the
highest level. So you don't it's not
recognized so much that the the union
of is coming from itself. But on the
other hand the revelation that that
you're going to have the union that's
coming and it's coming from the loim
itself where is that that is that is
when when the when that energy of the
bas mdash is going to be revealed in the
whole world. So based on explains now we
can understand the the the the the
superiority of the redemption compared
to the to compared to the temple and
that's why the redemption is going to
happen after you built the temple
because the to draw in the revelation of
the temple in the world that's going to
take place only after the building in in
the redemption. Now this the main
revelation of the union of utk and
alkim and that the union is coming from
alkim as well. When is that going to
happen? That's going to happen when the
dead is going to be resurrected. A and
that's going to happen after the in
gathering exiles at the end of
everything. Why is that? Because the
revelation that's going to be in the
world, which means there's going to be
the redemption from exile from all over.
It's a finite redemption compared to
what's going to be when the future of
Msiah comes. Why? It's only like a taste
of what's going to be like in in the B
mdash. But on the other hand, when
there's going to be the resurrection of
the dead and then there's going to be
literally the energy of the body is
going to come from so which is higher
than the energy of the soul because if
you know the the soul is going to
actually receive energy from the body,
you're going to have both qualities.
You're going to have the revelation of
the infinite part and the the revelation
is going to be in the body itself which
comes from the name. And that's why it
says that this house is going to be the
last one's going to be greater than the
first. In other words, even though
there's going to be many many many
things in in the future redemption and
till you have to come to resurrection at
the end, which is the end, but so but
the fact is the main thing is the house.
Why? Because the even though the house
comes first and you get much greater
revelations but the source of everything
comes from from the B mikdash and from
there it's going to be coming into the
world and that's that's also the reasons
that the first um uh um the first
activity of Msiah after we're going to
establish he's the right Messiah. The
first thing he's going to do is he's
going to build the base of Mdash. Why?
because that's the source of everything
that's going to exist afterwards and it
will finish off so powerfully and so
beautifully should be the will of Hashem
that this all should happen very very
soon and very very quickly. Then you
have another powerful beautiful
discourse in the Reb about the process
of the revelation of into the
world of the of and
the and the creation automatic etc. But
most importantly that we're going to
have the revelation of utkb is going to
be in the world through building in the
base of mikdash gathering of the exiles.
The world's going to feel it. We're
going to have the resurrection of the
dead. But it's all going to come from
the power that's mashia is going to
build mikdash and god willing let's hope
like says happen very very quickly and
our next class will be
inesh. Have a great and blessed week.
