The Kabbalah of the World of Tohu “Chaos” כי חלק הוי׳ עמו Kabbalah class: Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb. The name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse in Shabasu that year was the 13th day of the month of in the year exactly 56 years ago. So again the discourse is based in the verse in this week's Torah portion where it says a part of Hashem is his people. Yakov is an is inheritance. Um so the Reb asked a question why does we have the the double expression part of his people and then is is part of the strand from the inheritance from Hashem's also why in the beginning does it say the nation and afterward it says also in the beginning it says referring to and then it says also we have to understand what it says afterwards the verse continues on says He found him in the in the desert. Now we know the land of the desert and like it's explained at Lent in the alter discourse is referring to what? It's referring to the animal soul. So how can you say in the same sentence of which is referring to the soul which is a part of God is found with the Bahamas and especially like it's explained in the in in the Zor which is also brought down and explained in the classicalic discourses of the Torah that the midb a desert is a land of the snakes and the scorpions and the and and and fire etc. And that's the place where the what dwells over there is the three imp pure kipro. So how can you say that the soul isn't on such such a low level also what is the meaning to au it's found over there. In other words, found means it's just a haphazardly it's found there. But the fact as we know the souls of the Jewish people is a part of God. And like we say in the blessings in the morning that you gave me it's pure you created you blew it into its nostrils and you watch it. So what's it mean it's found? It's not found. We're we're part of Hashem. Also it says afterwards And it's explained in many many places that the idea of aer like an eagle with a with a before the word was referring to intense huge compassion. In Hebrew it's called rakim higher than even kesher. That's why it's kher. It's higher much greater compassion and even higher than the comp the than the theer that's in the in the chariot which is basically referring to compassion above. So what's the question is what does that mean? Okay, first is we're going to understand this in introduction which explained before in the different discourse in reference to the soul coming down to this down into this world that when the soul comes down here to transform the world why does it come down here it's coming here to transform the sparks of the world of tou we know when hashm originally created the world there was tou there was world was chaos and there was a lot of sparks that went into the world so the soul is coming down here to elevate those sparks that fell when there was the what what we call the breaking of the vessels. There was too much light for the vessels and and it broke. So there's holy sparks and we're down here to elevate those holy sparks. So again to be clear what the is saying is that we came down here to elevate the sparks of that are all over the place. Why why do we have to elevate those sparks? Because the sparks of toyu are very very high. Why? Now the question is why is the sparks of very very high? Because the power that the world of toyu has is one word ble acceptance self-nullification on the highest level. So the real power if you want to know what's tyu what's the world of tyu tyu the essence of tou is 100% bittl. So if you want to appreciate and connect to that world, it's all it all comes through the idea of BL of acceptance and like we like like nurses like he was explained before the difference between the world of toyu which we call the world of chaos and the world of tik which things are law and order is that the world of toyu is on the level of in I'll say in Hebrew I'll translate beah an animal and the world of tik is in the level of a human being and that's why it says in the verse There's two different levels. Adam is referring to the world of tikun and behem is the world of tou. Now even though you're going to say one second the fact is on a literal level what's higher a human being or an animal the fact is a human being is much higher than an animal but however when it comes to this one point which is called bal acceptance an animal is a much higher they have a much greater level of acceptance and how do we see that because we see that the this level of acceptance is more found in in in an animal is because what's what's acceptance acceptance is the is connected to shame ma ma is the ultimate you ask what is it and like it like like it says in the Torah what are we ma is the highest level of acceptance and what is the idea of sha and that which is acceptance where is that revealed most in in the in the name of behema what's a behemoth called behema so the last two letters in behemoth is mehe which is acceptance in a revealed state however in Adam doesn't say me there's there's olive there's a d there's no meh and like explained alter explains at length in that a name that something is called that actually gives it that gives it its energy that gives it existence so obviously if you have the name ma in behema that is the energy of an animal and the essence of an animal is all about acceptance and that's why we see that in the word behema which is for the animal you have the letters me which is acceptance and revealed state because it knows the behemoth B me and and and and that's why it's on a literal level because the fact is an animal has more acceptance than a human being. Human being thinks we have to analyze. You have to understand that whatever you tell it to do it just does it. It it's more accepting. It doesn't struggle so much intellectually. However, when it comes to human being which is also called an Adam and why we called an Adam on a very it's a very powerful idea because Adam is comes from the word of Adam compared to Hashem but the fact is that the name Adam which is basically made up of three letters alf is actually two words alif and dam. What is the al if al we know is referring to hashem the creator of the world the one who created the world and dam the blood on the other hand is referring to excitement um and and and energy which is the opposite of acceptance because acceptance is just accept. So Adam, which we're named after is one is the idea of Hashem, but then it's our personal excitement. And that's why Adam, it's interesting is that the numerical value of Adam is actually 45 because Adam is alphanal is five which is like the H and you have the me. So you do have the ma the acceptance the BL in Adam but it's only a gamatria and in other words numerical value. So it's not the way it is in itself in a revealed state the way but when it comes down into you have that like explain author explains in the difference between when something is spelled clear in the name and it's through and that's why it says in the prophets what is the person's name what is the name of the child in other words the name is referring to Adam that's the human being which is only the numerical value of of ma but the name of the son was referring to the idea of what a behavior which is the which is the the numerical value of ban. So knows behema in the revealed state it's the shea but if you do the numerical value it actually is nun which is not the name of hashem's name um and but which also has obviously within it the name ma and the same thing also when it comes to moenu as we know received the from hashem and the fact is mobenu's source is inou source is in the world of and that's why he calls he was in the world of chaos that's why he couldn't speak it was hard for him to like it says and like explained many places and that's why also the name of is so in other words you also have in the the the letters me and hey of of acceptance and that's the whole power of the world of tou is acceptance because the fact is the world of tou is why is it why is it acceptance because the world of tou is totally unified and connected and cleaving with the source of the light and what does toy want to toy just wants to connect to the source of light and what what does what does that why does someone want to accept in the source of light you're going to disappear because that's the ultimate level of acceptance like the explains in Tanya that the nature of fire is it wants to go higher and it wants to cleave and it wants to become one with its source so why does the fire stay there because the wick is pulling it down but the fire itself wants to go to the source and that's why the the light in In the world of toyu, it's an abundance of light. In other words, not only quantitatively, but qualitatively abundance of light. What does it mean qualitative light? Because basically, it's it's it's it's um it's cleaving and it's drawing itself to its source and it totally wants to wants to nullify its own ego. And the same thing also with the light of tou. But even the vessel of tou which we know is very little vessels, it's also in the level of acceptance. In other words, it's it's not only quantitatively smaller vessels but also qualitatively because the level of full acceptance and um he had the explain something very very powerful and very revolutionizing. He says like this basically you can explain that's why initially the light was in the vessels in the world of tou if the light of the of tou is so powerful how is it able to go into the vessel because the fact is in the world of tu we said it's an abundance of light quantitatively and qualitatively and the vessel is very very small so how did it come how did it even go into the vessel how originally before it's busted how did it even temporarily go into the vessel. And whoever explains based on what we just learned, he can explain it beautifully. Why? Because what's the light of and the the vessels of tyu it's ultimate acceptance. It's vital. So therefore, when you're able to nullify yourself, you can have an abundance infinite amount of light even small vessels and somehow it it it it works its way out. So that's how initially it was able to connect. But on the other hand, the fact is in the light of Toyota was a lot of light and the vessels are very very small. So therefore ultimately it it it pierced the vessels and that's why um we we have the vessels that we're looking for today. There you can possibly this is going to say this is this is what this is the reason. Now the source of is higher from the essential elevation which is sourced in the essence of Hashem himself. And that's why it says what does it mean the idea of a king? Because what what is a king? The king source is in the essence of the the on of the highest level of Hashem. And that's why what are what's our avoid what's our work over here today in this world to elevate the sparks of tou and to draw in and to reveal this powerful light and vessels of tyu and to go ahead and elevate it because that's where the real power is. Okay. So in other words to recap what the Reb is saying is what's our is to go after those holy sparks. Now the holy sparks will tell you the reason why they're so powerful is because they have the level of acceptance. They have the level based on says now we'll understand why it says why the first half of the verse is referring to the work of the godly soul on its own. The godly soul is doing its work which is basically it's a part of hem that's the first part of the work the verse is referring to the work that the animal soul does and where the godly soul come gets involved in the animal soul to transform it to refine it to purify it and what are we trying to purify the sparks of which is in the animal soul and as we know like we learned before that in the animal soul you have in a revealed way the ultimate accept acceptance of tou. So the first half of the verse is referring to the godly soul the way it does its own and not dealing with the physical world with the animal soul and the second half is dealing with elevating the animal soul and that's why it says in the second half Yakov Yakov is name Yakov why because Yakov comes from the expression of the heel which is the lowest level which is referring to what to the animal soul and when but on the other hand when you do the dealing with the animal soul you come to which is basically the inheritance um which is basically transforming the sparks of toyu which we received as an inheritance and we inherit the the lights of toyu like it's explained elsewhere in in in in places inut and that's why it says an inheritance. What does that mean? It's our inheritance and it doesn't say the the inheritance of yudk like in the first part of the verse. Why? Because this level is actually higher than yud which knows it's higher than the four letters of even higher than the dot on top of the yud. Why? Because the soul the way it's on high it says that that he's standing much higher. But after it comes down to this world and transformed the animal soul, it actually goes even higher than that's why it doesn't say in the second half of the verse. And that's why it says afterwards who is found in the desert. Why? Because this revelation comes if you want to reach higher than you want to reach of you reach that by going out to the desert to transform the sparks of the of the world of toy. And why is it called you found it? I just happen to be find it because drawing in this level is you're you're coming to a much higher level of say you're much higher than any level you can reach and that's why the Messiah comes he's also going to come and just boom out of the blue why it says the verse says clearly David Abdi I found my servant my servant King David because the revelation of the of Messiah is going to be not based on a certain flow or a certain strategy a certain systematic approach and this revelation happens by doing what you want to have the highest revelations transforming the physical world and that's why the Messiah is going to come and he's going to conquer the seven nations the seven the 70 nations and the seven nations which is the source of the seven nations and also the land of Ki because we're going to have not only the transformation of the seven the seven nations which the source of the 70 which is the emotions but also the transformation of the intellectual spirit as well and that's why the verse continues on to which we said is the highest level of compassion which is above. Why? Because when you come down to the world to elevate the sparks of you're able to bring in the highest levels of compassion even above the levels of the way things flow from one level to the next and that's why it says afterward alone is going to rest there. What does that mean? referring to the the 10 spheres which are hidden like it's explained in in the discourse of and that's why also the the garments in Yumiper are are made out of big day bad out of linen because why because it's referring to brewing down from a level of which is higher than so you're able to reach the highest level and that's why it also says there's no other nation knows we're higher than the level of of any any angels and like it says in the in In the verse obviously the goal is you want to connect to Hashem himself. Now this what we draw down through the through the linen garments from the highest level. It comes down afterwards in the holiday which is the holiday of being happy up until afterwards the end of like we like it says also the idea of there's no other no other no one else in the private party like the says clearly in reference to the holiday says come let's have a private party and the Jewish people we're going to meet together with Hashem himself and afterwards after you finish this whole of bringing down the highest level in the private party with Hashem. Then we each go on onto our ways. We take out all the we we uh unpack all the package that we received in the month of Tes for the whole year and we'll come to the ultimate promise. We're going to have the we're going to have the everlasting the infinite joy and that's going to happen with the with the redemption, the true redemption, the complete redemption. It's going to happen like finishes up beautifully mamish very very soon and very very quickly. So here we have a beautiful discourse about the ultimate power why we're in this world to transform those those sparks and to and by transforming the sparks to reach the highest level and those sparks are the sparks of bal and acceptance. Let's hope and pray like the finish of the discourse we'll will all merit by doing our work with the coming of Mashiach. The next class will be your have a great and blessed week.
