Welcome to our class on we're going to
be learning a beautiful discourse in the
rebba the name of the discourse is
called
yud the rebba said this discourse
on that year it was on the 18th day in
the month of Tavis in the
year 54 years ago so again the discourse
is based in the verse in this week's
Torah
portion where it says Yehuda
you your brothers are going to praise
you your hand is in the neck of your
enemy so re say it's known the point
that's brought out here why it says
yud know Y yehud which is the name after
you in know words doesn't say this by
any other tribes and
especially when it
says your brothers are going to
acknowledge you so we're talking about
yud so so if that's the case the
question is why do it say at seemingly
it's an extra word that's question
number one question and then we continue
on the verse it
says your hand will be in the neck of
your enemy in other words so when you're
saying your your hand your head will be
in the hand of the enemy means it's not
like going to be in a position where
there's no enemy there's an enemy
there's a valid enemy the only thing is
that your hand will be on their neck not
like it says in in in in in in the Torah
that I will
give I'm going to give your your enemy
um in your hand the back in other words
that the enemy is running away
automatically and therefore he's
automatically behind his neck is behind
you but literally you're going to have
to engage in putting your hand in the
back of the
enemy okay also what it says in
reference so the alter explains and
matter of fact the 24th day Tavis is the
anniversary of the passing of the Alba
so he says in his classical works in the
par that who is it referring to it's
referring to specifically the brothers
of Ruin shim and
Ley know yehuda's older brothers why
because the brothers that were born
after Yehuda it's not a revolutionary
idea and espe that they're going to
they're going to acknowledge Him respect
him especially like we know the opinion
that says based on the verse that
says so you have to honor your father
and your mother so it says
include besides the fact you have to
have honor and respect for your father
and mother it includes your your your
older
brother and there's an opinion that says
not only on your older brother the
oldest so to speak but refers to anyone
that's older than you so if that's the
case when it says that your brothers are
going to acknowledge you anyone that's
younger they have to do that cuz it's
part of
of so when it says they're going to
acknowledge you who is it referring to
it's referring to R shim and Le that
were born before him that are older than
him and never said you can say this is
what the alar is saying that it's
specifically referring to ring sh
because the fact is we know that Yehuda
was the king over all the tribes but but
so what doesn't mean they're they're
going to acknowledge Him know yehud word
of acknowledgement which means
acceptance B in Hebrew is called in
other words and that applies
specifically to
Ru however all the other brothers they
intellectually knew that they have to
acknowledge Him He was the king he was
the older brother so when it says
you referring to specifically what and
now in reference to this the idea of yud
at the word ATA we asked before like
what is ATA doing here so it always says
as follows
that there are three times that the term
at is
used and it's explained that one of
these three times so these three times
are connected to the three SP of malus
the the last SP the
lower and so when it says Associated
three times with these three spheros
where do we see that CU in reference to
it
says cuz you are a know is so again we
see that is connect to the sphere of in
reference to the sphere of so it
says you are a priest forever so which
is connect to so you see it has idea of
there and is also called like it says
over here yud which we know he connected
to so it says and you again connect the
the last and like it says when after he
was born she got stopped giving birth
because again we're dealing with the
sphere of Mal again so what does Z say
that said three times associate theere
of associate theere of reference to and
Associate theere of when it says father
now what does it mean at at means
revealing in other words and that's why
malus is called at what is the idea of
malus malus reveals
to the next world and the same thing
also the sphere of is to reveal kindness
and to reveal the intellectual ideas and
like it's explained in the in the in the
discourses in reference to so it
explains the difference between at and
who um and know who when it says who
it's refer it's concealment you don't
know who it is but when it says at it's
referring to someone specific so is what
the idea of Revelation and that's why
Mal is called called at well because
what is the idea of malus malus is all
about drawing down revealing into the
next World so let's say
starting you're revealing into the world
of Bri into and into the world of and
the same thing also like it
says um from there it goes out and um
matter of fact the revelation of all the
Spheres takes place through the sphere
of malus so malus is connected to what
the idea of yehud do malus at is
revelation and Mal is all about
Revelation and the same thing applies
with all the other attributes in other
words what's the per what's the idea of
malus revealing to someone else and the
same thing also all the revelation of
all the other attributes is the
component of Mal which is in them so
saying is like this we know every single
SPH besides the fact that it being its
primary spher it's interconnected with
all the SPO so the what is the component
the ingredient of every spere that
causes it to reveal that's the component
of malus now malus is also called the
Jewish
people and there in Hebrew it's called
knesset Israel what does knesset mean
that it it gathers in all the
revelations from on high so so Mal idea
of what it gathers everything in now and
what creates that that it should become
drawn down and reveal of all the ideas
of malas what causes that that's the the
sphere of because we know goes with all
the Spheres all the Spheres are
intertwined and what what so the energy
that causes malus to reveal is because
is all about giving is all about
Revelation so Mal is a practical
Revelation but the energy that causes it
to reveal is the is the sphere of and
the same thing also in the sphere of
which say connect to it's just like for
example the way it applies to to to us
as we're considered like a small world
the same thing also in the Big World
that the first revelation that takes
place is so the same thing also in the
spiritual worlds comes is all about
Revelation so a recap what's saying over
here that is the beginning
Revelation it's natural is all about
revealing about giving and malus is the
ultimate giving where it gives it on
gives it on to the next World and
someone else and that's why it says
yehud why because yehud is Mal and is a
revelation of it in other words so and
what does it
say the brothers are going to
acknowledge you so it's referring to the
as we said before the brothers of Ru
shim and Ley the ones that are the ones
that are older than him but nevertheless
who are they going to acknowledge
they're acknowledge you why because the
quality that Yehuda has even though
ruan's higher shimon's higher ley's
higher like all the Spheres are higher
but the quality that udah has is
revelation now what is what is what is
the idea of Mal like we said before
reveals into the world
Bri now even though all the other
spheres reveal reveals and be reveals
and and everyone reveals the difference
is a major difference is that every
sphere reveals in its own world it it
stays in its own world however Mal
reveals to the next World from matus
goes down to Bria from Bria to and from
onto so you can't compare the revelation
of Mal compared to any other SP cuz all
the other SP reveal in its World malus
has the power to reveal into the next
World and that's why it says
specifically in reference to Mal because
Mal is the one that has the greatest
Revelation this is what it says in the
classical works of the
AL um it actually has the handwritten
notes of the of the reab that he says
that which is basically the uh six mid
that's the end of the infinite World
infinite
World and is the source of the created
worlds why and that's like the two the
two cherubs that you had in bet mdash so
Z is the end of the world and even
though it's part of it's already
starting the next World and that's why
it
says now why they going to acknowledge
you because the fact that you have the
power to reveal in the world of Bria Y
and AIA and through the fact that it's
able to come down to the world's Bri so
what happens then is it not only comes
down to this world but it actually
elevates the sphere
of reveals an idea but guess what if
nothing happens with it what was the
whole point so Mal does its job reveals
it to the next World itself gets
elevated and that's why the main
Revelation takes place where's the main
Revelation in this physical
world why cuz it's the lowest world and
and lower we mean not physically not
physically higher and lower we mean
spiritually lower the place where God Is
So concealed that's where the ultimate
Revelation is in other words this that
this for example this revelations in the
higher worlds Bria
Etc up to us so the
AL that the higher worlds is actually a
downgrade forem even the world
of there's Revelations but it's a
downgrade for forem but the fact that
the revelations able to come down to the
world of a so that's the greatest
Revelation but and that creates an
upgrade also in the world of a as well
and when and and the SP this world of is
connect now the
advantage that takes place in the world
of AIA that that specifically in the
world of AIA you're able to do the most
important job is to create and I'll say
it in Hebrew
a in this world we can make a well
how do we do it we do it through the
avoid of practicing restraint and his
transformation like Al T that when a
person in this physical world practices
restraint doesn't think what he wants to
thing doesn't say what he wants to say
doesn't do what he wants to do which
obious if it's wrong and not only
doesn't he do but he actually does
something the opposite of we create
a should smile hasem should be happy in
Hebrew it's
called in other words that's
specifically from the darkness when
you're going through a challenge when
you're going through a dark moment and
you practice restraint and you do
transformation you create a greater
light that can only exist that's coming
through that powerful transformation and
that's why it
says in reference to you that your hand
is in the in the neck of your enemy in
other words what is the enemy the enemy
is called in Hebrew sitra andipa which
mean the other side of ho Holiness the
shell so not not not not the light side
in other words it's the other side it's
not the side of of K not Holiness and a
Jew doesn't want and can't be
disconnected from
godliness
like a Jew doesn't want and really can't
be connect disconnect from so therefore
anything that's taking them away from
cleaving to God and godliness that is
the enemy and that's why he says the
hand your hand is in the neck of the
enemy why in the neck because in the
neck in the back part you don't have the
revelation of the internal Powers now
and what does that mean practically it's
the Avo like we said before of esaf
practicing restraint in other words that
you don't have any desire or will and no
energy to deal with the with still
negativity and as if someone's giving
you like a present that you know he just
throws at you he doesn't want any
involvement it without a heart Etc in
other words and when you when you
basically disconnect from anything which
takes you away from godliness through
esaia then you have your hand and you
and you elevate all the Spheres even to
the sphere of what of and the highest
spheres and when a person does
the in this physical world so we come to
the true level of ATU in other words not
referring to yud but referring to the
essence of a of of AEM which is the true
existence and as we know that's where
basically anything you say is coming
from and even even even a child is
connect to go to hasem and it's not in a
level of a revealed level because in re
revealed levels there was a there was
there was there was concealment there
was a there was a syum and it's only
array of however when it deals with the
essence of which is the true existence
of everything and like the ra writes
clearly that Hashem is the only truth
and there's no other truth other than
and anything that exists from the
highest world to the lowest world all
comes from
Hashem in other words so in anything
that exists other than the essence of
hem you can't say you AEM it's a it's a
it's a it's a because this level of
concealment and it's only it's only
array but only when you see the true
existence of then you can say the level
of so when someone says you're referring
to the essence
of how do you come to the level where
you're just looking for the essence of
that comes when
you which is basic
IDE in the lowest sphere you're able to
connect to the highest part of and when
you do that you reach to the true level
of at which gets revealed initially in
the spere of like Al says clearly in t
the 35th chapter in the footnote there
that what he heard from his teacher that
he
himself and nothing else that is a level
of and when we do our of practicing
restraint and practicing
transformation in this physical world
when we get to at we reach the place
that messia is going to come and and
what's going to
happen Strang come strangers are going
to take care of all all our needs and
when is that going to happen it's going
to
happen when the coming of mhia the
righteous Mia like finishes off and says
should happen very very soon very very
quickly so here we have another powerful
cic discourse more of a shorter
discourse but a practical discourse that
we have the power to create a deep
connection with by literally accepting
and
practicing in this world we actually
have the power to reach the op on the
essence
of when we reach the essence of we'll
have the coming of Mia and let's hope
and pray it happens and next week's
class will be
Ines have a great and blessed week
