welcome to our class on this we're going
to be learning this week a beautiful
hasidic discourse in the river the name
of the discord is called
hashem hashem spoke
who
ever said
this is the discourse on shabbos parshas
nasseri
which that year was in the ninth day of
the month of sivan in the year tough
shin memzayin 35 years ago so again the
civic discourse is based on the verse
verses actually in this week's torah
portion where the torah says
hashem
hashem speaks to moishramu and he says
da beryl i read to speak to aaron and he
tells him
this is how aaron the high priest should
bless the jewish people and there's
three verses the first verse starts off
with
some should bless you
your ears are trying his countenance
upon you and the third verse he saw
hashem pan of allah hashem shall elevate
your faith to him and then it finishes
off and says with samuel me al-banaya
israel i'll place my name upon the
jewish people vani and i hashem will
bless the jewish people so this is
the commandment where hashem instructs
moisture menu to command aaron the high
priest to bless the jewish people with
the priestly blessings
so rebecca said it's known the hasidic
discourses from the
previous
in other words from the outdoor river
the first commander the middle of the
river the second kabaddra that's
father-in-law than see the reign who is
the leader of the generation
so the in these in the civic discourses
of the khabarov
they speak about the general idea of the
priestly blessings
in other words that the priestly
blessings have a special quality
and it's actually very
very powerful and more powerful than the
regular blessings because for example we
make we make blessings all day long
hashem
those are blessings but these blessings
the blessings that hashem instructed
moisture and tell iron to bless the
jewish people so it's brought down in
kabbalah into this
explain all throughout the
legacy about the power of these
blessings
in other words the question is a simple
question it's called a blessing
so in other words and and so it's not
called a different name it's called the
blessing that's the name of it you
should bless
a matter of fact even in the in the in
the in the blessing before and the
prayer before they bless the jewish
people so it says clearly they're going
to be blessing the jewish people
and matter of fact part of the blessing
is your hashem shall bless you
so seemingly what what's the difference
between the priestly blessings and any
other blessings but nevertheless even
though it has the same name as a
blessing but there's something unique
and something very very special about
the priest blessings what's unique and
what's so special about it what's unique
and special is because it's beer
it's the blessing from the priests
now
and this
idea that we're saying that these
blessings even though it's a regular
blessing in terms of our blessing but
it's the priestly blessings
um it is explained in many places to
this and also in the acidic discourse of
of pasha's quran that what's the power
of the priestly blessing is based on a
verse that says
it's very that the blessings come very
very quickly in other words
someone can give you a blessing and
you're blessed but it's stuck it doesn't
come down in reality
these blessings the power of these
blessings they come out they come down
very very quickly and there's nothing
holding it back so again so a regular
blessing is a blessing sometimes it will
come to fruition some not but a priestly
blessing comes quick and it happens in
reality now what's the reason why
a priestly blessing
happens and it happens quickly because
we all know the quran and the priests
they have a certain spiritual dna in
hebrew it's called as reason heim they
do things very very quickly so creative
have a certain energy they get things
done but they get things done very very
quickly so because they get things done
very quickly so when they give a
blessing the blessing happens very
quickly that's one one reason why
they're so strong these blessings
another reason
why the priest giving you these
blessings because hashem said to give
the blessings so they're actually god's
blessing like the verse says clearly
hashem is instructing aaron and the
priest to bless the jewish people say
these words these three verses and then
hashem says i'm the one giving the
blessings so there ever explains there's
two reasons why
the blessings of the priests are unique
and very powerful and very quick one is
because they're coming from the priest
and the priests do things quickly save
for the and come quickly and the second
and possibly more important is because
ultimately it's not their blessing
they're sharing us they're guiding
they're creating a channel for hashem's
blessing it's really hashem's blessing
when you have a son's blessing you know
obviously it comes quick and it really
really happens and like driver says we
see literally in in jewish law the the
jewish law is and in a very very clear
and succinct way in the code of the
jewish law and there was even more
specific in the code of the jewish law
of the altar ebba because we know the
the quote the jaw of the altar abrahams
the
is the law and also the reasons of of
the law
and
it's brought down in jewish law it says
like this
when a priest gives a blessing it's
irrelevant
if the priest has tremendous qualities
or the truth it's a simple priest
why
because again whose blessing is it's not
the priest blessing if it was the
priest's blessings you want to make sure
he's holy and he's godly and he's
spiritual and he only has all these
tremendous qualities but he's just a
delivery boy he's delivering hashem's
blessing
so since really the blessing is from
hashem
that's why it doesn't make them as who
the priestess as long as he's a priest
and that's why the blessing comes
quickly and it comes down into this
world in in a real way
and whoever says he'd like to add as
follows
even this idea
that the blessing comes down adna hey
you are it means it comes down very very
quickly
so what we learned why does it come very
quickly because a the priests are quick
and b
because
hashem is the one giving the blessing
but jeff says not only that's the reason
but you can say even a step further it's
also because that is the service of the
priest that is connected with this the
way the the this has to do with the
service of the priest itself in other
words what does that mean and let me
give you an example he says we know that
it says
and one of the priests blessings is ye
so hashem panavel
hashem shall base his face to you so
it's brought down and kazan teaches as
follows because you know the torah has
commentary that hashem says
am i not going to show favoritism to the
jewish people
because why not
you know see and the hashem is very
simple
because it says in the torah
you should eat the salvator you'll be
satiated
you're going to bless hashem
now so what does the verse say eat
be satiated and then you're going to
thank hashem
we all know that when you eat in order
to make the grace after meals so
according to the torah you have to be
satiated
what does how do we when do we make the
grace after meals
even if we ate something the size of an
olive if we ate something the size
around we make the grace we don't have
to because we're not satisfied yet but
let's say we eat the size of an hour not
satisfied yet we still do the grace
after meals why is that because we want
to thank hashem
so
there's two components over here
in other words on one hand
why is hashem blessing us
hashem is blessing us he just chose to
bless us
but also second reason is it's something
which is called in hebrew me the
connected media in other words when you
behave in a certain way hashem gives you
back the same way
another because we go ahead
and bless hashem even though we don't
have to therefore hashem blesses us
so in other words there's two reasons
jeremy says why
the blessing comes down very very
quickly abner your it's very why
one reason is because
the blessing is coming from hashem is a
blessing there's no questions asked it
comes quickly the second reason is
because it comes me the connected media
because we go ahead
and we we thank hashem steve hashem
thanks us the same thing also because of
the service of the of the priest the way
this the priest serve hashem that's why
we get the special blessing in other
words what what is that service of the
priest that they do that because of that
we get the special blessing your explain
is very simple
what does it say in the torah
how did the priest bless the jewish
people kaiser
this is how you shall bless the jewish
people
what does that mean so when the priest
gets up to make the blessing go into any
synagogue in israel they do it every day
in america we only do it on
on holidays spiderman maybe do it every
day as well also in america so they get
up and they say the same three verses
and we say that's the three verses it
says in the torah and we say this is how
hashem said to bless you the priests
don't add anything to it
why because they are delivering the
blessing of hashem
the priests get up don't add anything to
it
now normally when you get up to make a
speech you don't stop
a priest cuts out to make a blessing he
can share a son's blessing and then he
can give his own blessing no he doesn't
do that he just shares hashem's blessing
so
in other words
he's getting up to bless he says
hashem's blessing and he stops he
doesn't share his own thoughts and
feelings etc which is very hard for a
lot of people so because he's just there
as a messenger for hashem
and he practices restraint from adding
or sharing anything on his own so
therefore what happens is we get back me
to kamegamido so he draws down the
blessing of of ania breaking from hashem
up to the point where it comes down very
very quickly so they're ever saying as
they hear is as follows
to recap
the priestly blessings even though it's
a blessing like every other blessing but
it's unique that it's very very powerful
and it comes down very quickly and it's
guaranteed to come down
why is that server explains very simple
a few reasons reason number one is
because the kahanam are very very quick
so therefore they're quick the blessing
comes quick number two is who's blessing
and they give they're not giving their
giving they're giving hashem's blessing
so hashem's blessing comes quick number
three the rabbit says it's also because
of the qihanim in other words and the
example that we gave is just like hashem
bless us because
we
we bless hashem even for a small amount
so same thing also when the cranium gap
to make the blessing of hashem they
don't add anything they are acting as
true emissaries of hashem so therefore
the blessing comes through them very
very quickly and guaranteed issue
now so now that i was going to explain
even deeper and he says like this
what is this we talking about this
powerful blessing of the priestly
blessing so what let's understand what's
this powerful blessing
so everything is going to understand the
powerful blessing of the priestly
blessings we have to understand give an
introduction
of the difference between blessings and
prayer in general in other words that
spoken in many places
as follows and there is specifically in
the in the mystical teachings of the
repressed
who is known to be called in
you know the whole world will say
no you you
you can't go through the door so go
through the window he would say to begin
with go through the window go straight
to the top don't try first the simple
rat then go through the tougher out go
to begin with go straight for the
jugular go through go go for the go for
the goal for the highest level right
away
so he explains as follows
that
seemingly and that's why the truth is
there's a certain quality in a blessing
over prayer now we're talking about a
regular blessing not the priestly lesson
first we're going to learn about regular
blessing prayer and then we're going to
see priestly blessing there's a certain
quality and a regular blessing
what is a blessing you say to someone
i'm blessing you god should bless you
so what does that sound like it's a
command
we're giving a command on blessing you
should have a great life it's a command
so that's what a blessing is what is the
component of a prayer no i'm praying to
hashem please i shall make it happen
so a blessing is a command
a prayer is a request
so from that perspective what's more
powerful between a command and a request
a command that's much more much more
powerful i'm commanding you should be
blessed guess what you'll be blessed
i'm praying you should be
good things should happen to you either
will happen or not
on the other hand
there's something which is powerful more
powerful and prayer than a blessing
because when you give a blessing you can
only get what's in store for you you say
so i'm going to bless you
um this should happen to you if it's not
in the cards it's not gonna happen even
though you're commanding it to happen if
it's not in the cards it's not gonna
happen
because you can only draw down what
exists in the source why
because bracha a blessing comes from the
word from your drawing thing you're
drawing down like the expression in in
in the in the mishnah it says
if you want to bring like water to to uh
to water the the vineyard so you can
bend the pipe if there's nothing in the
pipe and there's no pipe how you
bringing water to it so bracha means
you're drawing it in the right place but
you need something that you need
something to draw
in other words and everything's on a
side note he says essential thing is
that so how do we know that broker means
you have to something in the source
because there's a maverick up and you
you you bend over over the trough
towards the vineyard
so he says why do they why did you use
the example
of a maverick as a defense specifically
about grapes so he says because that's
we find unique grapes are associated
with the jewish people the jewish people
are called a grape why because we know
for example in the torah it speaks about
the dreams of the baker and the butler
so it's brought down in kabbalah it says
when the when the when the when the
butler uh dreamt about or the or or
actually the bakers went about the the
the the the butler about about the
grapes it says he saw on the dream oh by
geffen and and and in the vine they were
um schleicher cerrigan there were three
branches so it's brought down in
kabbalah and it says like this the geffe
and the vines referring to the jewish
people um the solution of syrian
referring to the three times the jewish
people the korean lady israel you know
this is in the dream of the baker about
about about the butler so you see that
according to kabbalah geffen is
referring to the jewish people and then
same thing also we find the prophet that
says gephan and mitsrayam takes tacia
you know he plucked us out of egypt
who'd he plucked out he plucked out a
grape the gracie plucked out of egypt
the jewish people so you see the prophet
uses the term gephardt when it comes to
the jewish people so i said no they're
just bringing on a side point that we're
talking about a blessing a blessing is
drawing down and the example uses about
a grape and we see because the
connection with the grape and the jewish
people a because of the dream with the
the divine is actually referring to the
jewish people on a spiritual level and b
where the prophet says gather them in
trying to see him now but let's get back
to the point so so um so in a blessing
you can only draw down something that
exists however when you pray
even though it's a request but you can
say he wrote saying should be the will
of hashem so what does it mean will
hashem if it's not in store in the
answers prayer has the power
that you can literally create he wrote
soon we're praying there should be a new
will you can literally create new energy
and you can create energy so you can say
whatever it's not in store for you you
can draw in energy from a place which is
higher than the source of all the
blessings so because you're going so
high you can bring down that something
doesn't even exist now
so therefore
when the when when when someone prays
and yes you're requesting from hashem
you don't know if it's going to happen
or not but the fact is
you can cr
if hashem answers your prayer
nothing's going to stop you can't say
because i don't have that blessing i
don't have the blessing to you and a
blessing you can say i don't have the
blessing for you but in a prayer create
a new line create a new channel pray
your hands the power to create new
channels of energy
okay so let's recap so what did we just
learn
blessing has the power guaranteed to
happen
but you need it in store
in the store in the storehouse
prayer
it's a request might not happen but on
the other hand you can you can create
something that doesn't even that doesn't
even have a potential so there ever says
this is the power
of the of the priestly blessings
because the priestly blessings has both
qualities
on one hand as a the power of a blessing
that means it's a command
the priests are commanding
and be as the power of prayer that you
can draw in something which doesn't even
exist it doesn't even exist in potential
in other words
the source of the blessing of the priest
is just like prayer
you can create a new rough sign a new
will
but on the other hand it also has the
quality as a command
that it's going to happen that the the
blessing is going to happen not in a
spiritual level the blessing will happen
literally down in this in this physical
world
and up to the point where it's
translating to the physical world so
it's guaranteed it's going to come from
the highest threats we're going to come
down in the air up to the point that
jeremy says
what's the translation is going to bless
you with mama and literally physical
money you're going to have what you need
physically
and we know that money is the lowest the
lowest thing in this world
it's even lower than the fee of a human
being like it says in the khazal based
in the verse how you cool mushroom
burger lamb
which is the
part which is on by under their feet
it's referring to
money
money why because money literally can
put someone on his feet you have what
you eat you have with the lids you can
get a roof over your head you can you
can survive
so that's the first component that the
blessing comes down literally to give
you material material success whatever
you need also ishmael will protect you
from people that will want to go to bed
hurt you
and literally the blessing has to
protect you because the blessing comes
down in a place where you need
protection from someone to hurt you so
you see the powerful blessing is that
aid comes from the highest level
and is guaranteed
and it's going to come down to the
lowest loving to material level and to
protect you
and whoever says
this is also will understand now
something very very powerful because
it's brought down in the talmud it says
like this and it's also in jewish law
so what happens the question they ask is
what happens if you have a whole
community of priests
so they get up all to do the priestly
blessings who they brought blessing
convention of a minion whether minion
two minion or whatever amount of people
you have in the synagogue all priests
the priests get out the blessed who they
who are they blessing a synonym with
empty chairs so the talmud says no you
know their blessing they're blessing the
community out in the fields it didn't
come to shul
so even though they're not there even
though they're out in the fields doing
prayer but nevertheless the priest
blessed them
so that's on a physical level but now on
a spiritual level what does that mean
that the blessing of the priests go down
even to somebody that's spiritually on
the level of a field what does that mean
he's spiritually in the level of field
uh assad is a field which means a person
is so low and i was like we know for
example in reference to esau yaakov
vanessa wasn't saying the torah eight
seven was in each other he was a man of
the field so even someone a man of the
field the hunter the blessings go even
there
and uh
so that's on a physical level on a
spiritual level but stephanie vader says
it's also referring to someone that's
even a lower level than that
and like we know it's it's brought down
and says in reference to holland coals
or your moist you have coals that are on
fire you see it red you see it fire but
then you have coals that literally you
can't barely get a spark out of it and
as what does that mean that the fire in
the coal is is almost like extinguished
and it's very very weak and it's very
concealed in in the coal so in order to
get it out what do you need you need a
big wind
to reveal that fire
in other words the same thing also
somebody is in a level uh he's in the
field and he and he's that he means his
coal is weak that means his fire is not
burning
his fire is you don't see the fire it's
concealed it's almost out god forbid in
other words then what does fire
represent when you say the fire
someone's on fire so it's interesting is
river explains that follows and
something very powerful
when someone's on fire
it's referring to we know there's four
worlds the highest world is the world of
asilos
that's where atoll is close to hashem
god is a reality in the world of asilus
when someone's on fire fire is connected
to the world of absilus so we say oi
memoize
that the person of an arm from the field
um it's it's it's his fire is out it
means his connection to the world about
syllabus is weak
and on the side of it says it's known
that according to most most opinions
fire that comes down from on high is
referring to the world about syllabus
you know because there's four elements
fire
water ear
um ear and earth so in other words fires
are corresponding to the world about
syllabus however the other three
ear water and fire those come down more
physically to the world and knows for
sure water and earth that's that's on
the earth is on the on on on on the
earth it's a little low water's also on
the ground but even wind
doesn't doesn't totally go up on high
and matter of fact according to many
opinions rubber says
that that ear is made up
from um uh
is um
is made up from earth and water so you
see that
that
earth
water
and wind is all lower elements
versus
h is a higher element connected to the
world of tillis now
so this person um which means his his
fire is low which is concealed
so what happens is the priestly
blessings have the power to reach
somebody that is ash his atsila's
connection is weak
what is the attila's connection in every
single human being
that is every single person we know has
an our soul and we know it says
the soul that you gave me you say in the
prayers
right after
so the highest level is to hired so in
the soul that the holyrood level is
connected to the world syllabus and the
person is called why we call the what
are we called we call an adam why we
call it adam
a human being other comes from the word
about dhamma we compared to our shaman
high so who are we we are we have a
neshama the highest level is tahirah are
the most dominant so we're connected
with the world of artilles so basically
what is the blessing of ibrahim what is
the blessing in the priest that this
blessing should come down to the lowest
levels
to the level with it where the flame of
attila's our fire is out
up to the point to be the optimus
hashem
should watch um within us he should give
us back our fire hashem should watch us
that even somebody god forbid that the
coal is so to speak uh not not not
burning what happens is they should be
revealed what should be revealed that
the the part about silva should be
revealed in the human being now
so we see again just to recap what the
ever saying so far is
that the powerful blessings of the
priest a
guaranteed
and b it comes quick and it goes down to
the lowest level and and to every single
person whatever level you're at
now now there was going to say something
as follows
this that we're saying that the priestly
blessings that come down from the
highest level to the lowest level
without anything holding it back
so that's a general idea what you find
you know in blessings
but the fact that's the general idea but
the fact is we know
that the torah is the general component
of toronto and then there's the details
of the torah
like for example there gives an example
where it says in the beginning of
pasha's bihar so it says a god spoke to
mushroom bahar sinai mount sinai and he
tells them the laws of shemitah so the
question is
all the laws come from higher senate why
is a torah when it comes to shemitah
the laws of the sabbatical year tell us
it was given in mount sinai and the
answers the commentaries tell us to
teach us just like shmita we have all
the general laws and the details and
that was given at harshinai so in other
words therefore teaching us that all the
laws in ontario all the general laws and
all the details everything comes from
our senate so when you have a teaching
about the priesthood blessing is coming
so to speak from from uh from the
highest place it's guaranteed to come
down and and goes to the lowest places
that's a general idea but there's also
details of it like we see that in
reference to the other parts of the
torah
and ever explains interesting is that
coin uh he explains it's like a coin to
siddhas um according to kabbalah so to
speak in reference to this question
what that what's the connection between
shmita the sabbatical year and how cena
which is when we see the torah he
explains like this what's the question
what is shemitah shmita means that you
worked the word land for six years and
the sec the seventh year is called
shabbos hashem which means you're
dedicating the seventh year in honor of
hashem because we would work with
another year of produce but we're
dedicating it to hashem it's called
shambhas hashem
what happened when the hashem created
the world he created the world in six
days and he rested on the seventh
so we so we want to be rest every single
week on shabbos and honor hashem
so we see that shemitah which was
dedicated the whole year is dedicated to
the sabbatical of hashem is connected to
the creation of the world with shabbos
was dedicated to hashem
so since shemitah is connected to what
creation of the world
so if that's the case why are we talking
about it was this sweet the law was
given in harassing which is connected
idea of torah
in other words so
why is that and so there are so they
plain and
very simple
since really shmita's connected the
creation of the world where it's
dedicated to hashem
and it was put together with the har
cena which is more about torah
what was the torah trying to teach us
that the purpose of torah the purpose of
sinai is
to affect in this world
not that shanghai is a torah we should
be living somewhere in the boondocks and
not being in reality no the purpose of
the whole baha'i is shemitah we should
bring godliness into the world we work
the land for six years and then we rest
in the seventh same thing also we work
for six days of the week i mean rest in
the seventh so torah in the world is not
a contradiction they actually complement
each other
back to the point so what we learn the
main point of heart shmita is that the
the general ideas and and the details is
all part of the terror torah has
everything generally certain details
and um to take it a step further
explains and he says like this
we have the whole huge torah 613
commandments we all know we have the ten
commandments
so we have the whole torah 613
commandments we also have ten
commandments
so rashi says
that the whole torah
the whole torah five books of moses
and all 613 commandments are included
in the ten commandments
and it's brought down rashford in the
name of saga and he says a step further
and everything's like this
if you count up
the ten commandments
so in you count up the letters that make
up the ten commandments not the words
the letters
you have exactly 620 letters so the 10
commandments are made up of 620 letters
now what's the connection between 620
letters and the 10 commandments so we
know the 613 commandments
and there are seven commandments that
were obligated to from rabbinic
commandments so if you take the 613
commandments which are biblical the
seven rabbinic you have you have um 620
which is connected to the six there are
620 letters in the ten commandments
so you see clearly you have the the
gener the general idea
the way the whole torah is included so
to speak in the ten commandments but
then even step further we know that the
whole term not only is it included in
the ten commandments
but it's also included specifically in
the first two commandments oh no you see
what's the first question i am god your
god
you shouldn't have any other gods and we
know that is the essence of the whole
torah what's the essence of the whole
torah on the positive side hashem is our
god on the negative side don't have any
other gods that's the whole torah and if
you follow that it's easy to do all the
commandments and that transgress if you
stay focused on those two
even deeper derivative says
now let's just recap whatever saying all
the whole term is included we're in the
ten commandments
and also it's included in the all the
missiles are included in the 620 letters
and ten commandments now they're saying
it's included in the first two
commandments
now that we're going to go step further
a step deeper
that the whole torah is included in the
first utterance of hashem
hashem i am god you god
that's the essence of the torah i am god
your god then everything is easy you
follow
a step deeper says
not only is it included in the first
commandment
it's actually included in the first word
and these four letters stand for ano
in the first word of the ten kinds of
saying i
my soul have written that's what i've
given to you through literally that
first word you have the whole torah
we're gonna go step further
whatever says
not only is it in the first word but
it's actually the first letter
what's the first letter of the ten
commandments aleph
and that's that's the that's that's the
beginning of the word
and we know that the beginning of the
word has a powerful teaching according
to kabbalah
and especially ever since the way the
way the way it's we we learned in this
was follows something very beautiful
everything like this
what's the first letter the aleph
now if you look at an aleph the
structure of an olive oil structure you
have a dot on top
a dot on the bottom and you have a
diagonal line across
now if you take a a dot on top and
tighten the bottom so that is really
like a good so it's like a you're on top
and you're in the bottom and like above
across
good numerically is how much 10.
you have a uterine top and near the
bottom they already have 20. the valve
across a six
so you have numerically within the alif
you have a numerical value of 26.
is the numerical value of the infinite
name of asham you know
the infinite name of hashem is
with a hay and above and a hay yoda's 10
hey is five brothers six and hey is five
so hashem's name is 26
the aleph is also 26. so you see
literally in the first olive or the ten
commandments you have god's name in
there
we're gonna go for a step further
look at the top of the olive there's the
kites the little
dot on top of the olive
and in there you have the whole torah
and from here there it says so
it comes down
so
in detail
more specific
so the
the word the first the first
letter aleph on bottom it you have a
vowel what's the vowel you have the r
the object the of the comets oh because
otherwise it's olive how do you
pronounce it so com so all noisy so
you put a vowel or a vowel underneath it
and ever since it's like it's explained
that at length the previous order
explains it all the different details of
every single vowel and afterwards it
comes down not only in the vowel but you
also have the notes
every single in the torah if you read
the torah there's vowels and there's
notes
and then you then you also have
the the the
the oral part of the torah up to the
point that every single one that can sit
every person can sit and learn and come
up with an idea that he saw in the torah
etc
but and then it goes back all to the ten
commandments
like it says in talmud you're shamely
based in the verse in reference to the
ten commandments museum
it's written from here and here it knows
what does that mean that everything that
mesel mesanic something means that
everything comes from the ten
commandments that were
that were being carved out on on on the
tablets
what's the point that you're trying to
bring out that you see the whole torah
all the ten commandments they go back to
the ten commandments
the first two commandments
the first commandment the first word the
first letter the top of the letter the
vowels the notes etc and then it
branches back out to teach us all the
details so in torah you have points
details back to it's always going back
to the point
but the point i was trying to bring out
is
just like we have the general idea of
the priestly blessings where it's a
general blessing that means it's
guaranteed issue and it's going to come
down it's going to come down to the
lowest level so that's the general idea
but you have it also in the details as
well and like jefferson it's explained
in the civic discourse is in reference
to rosh hashanah and around our research
time
that
also the whole creation of the world
goes from the general to the detail
what does that mean general to the
detail
so we know that
that in the sphero is the highest sphero
is kessar
in the kessler itself
the highest part of kesser is this optic
narrative higher part is optic which is
corresponding to tainog so the way it
flows it flows from kessler which is
tainung and from there it comes down to
the lowest level
and interesting is river says that
what's the connection also we'll bring
in rosh hashanah here he says very
simple because roshan is connected to us
why the way the time we see the torah
because the fact is on rosh hashanah we
know we blow the shaffer why do we blow
the sharifah one of the reasons is to
remind us the show for the hashem
bluebird mountain torah
like it says in in our prayers
blew the sound of the shaper on
so you see there's a connection between
schwes and rosh hashanah
now
so back to the point
so yeah the these this point of the
details of the priestly blessings
also it's not just telling us these
general rules as details but also have
to apply to reserve hashem
because it's all about self
transformation
now jefferson likes to explain that
length
in
powerful teaching and book from the from
the middle of the second quad river
that it's not enough to have a general
meditation when you meditate you can
meditate in general that's great but
it's not enough the general meditation
but you have to meditate specific
and the same thing also it brought down
another classic civic discourse called
the terrace royce that's not enough to
have the general cover note when you do
a metaphor but you need to have the
specific harmonies this is the general
commander you're serving asham you're
doing the will of hashem but every
mitzvah has its detail
so if that's the case the question is
what is the details of the priestly
blessing so never explains of this it
was a long introduction to show us that
the general idea the details based on
the ten commandments etcetera so now
what's the details explaining this
the details of the priestly blessing
this
this just two there's
two ideas in other words
just like when it comes to the ten
commandments you have the ten
commandments in general giving you ten
commandments
and from the ten commandments you have
afterwards the six hundred and thirteen
commandments
and then you have the seven biblical
commandments
which are the details of the ten
commandments and then you have all the
different specific mitzvahs etc so
everything the same thing also when it
comes to the priestly blessings
besides the fact of the details and the
details of the details of every single
blessing and there's different words and
so on and so forth but there's a general
idea of all these details what is that
that's the general idea of these three
blessings
so now they're just going to explain
after this long introduction what is the
details of the priesthood blessings
whatever brings
based on a powerful teaching a beautiful
teaching actually from the cli yucka
which is a commentary in the quran
that the three blessings of the priestly
blessings
with all the details in the middle
is is um
connected the client says based on what
it says in the med rush
that there's three levels
in the love that hashem has for the
jewish people
there are three levels of the love that
hashem has the jewish people based on a
verse in the prophets
and he says like this
he did not stop loving the jewish people
until he called the jewish people my
daughter
he didn't stop then he didn't stop
loving with just from the door he went
on until he called the jewish people my
sister
and he didn't stop calling the jewish
loving the jewish people until he called
to my mother so there's three levels of
love for the jewish people from hashem
one is an expression of a love from a
parent to a daughter
a a a sibling love
and
a love to a mother
in other words
what does that mean practically so the
cleopatra says like this that's what the
measure says the cleopatra explains as
follows
the level of the love that hashem had
for the jewish people on the first level
of beating my daughter
that's when hashem took us out of egypt
the holiday of pesach
and we know that the holiday peso
corresponds to which which are the
patriarchs abraham
and we know by abraham hashem says
hashem blessed abram by coil with
everything and there's a lot of
commentaries what is about call me
one of the one of the commentaries say
what doesn't mean he blessed him with
everything
he blessed them with a daughter
so again so you see that bt is connected
to the holiday of pesach which
which is connected to the idea what uh
which is connected to abram and abram
well how is he blessed he was blessed
with a bomb so you see that daughter's
connected idea of
pesach the level of khaisi which is my
sister that's corresponds to the
holidays
the holiday mountain toyota
and the the third level the level of
eemi my mother so we know in kabbalah
is considered
the father of the emotions and bino is
the mother of the emotions so eemi is
referring to which spirits referring to
the sphere of bina
now dino is cursed is connected to which
which spiritual service that the
spiritual service of true repentance
so eemi is correct the beena and and the
being has connected the truva
and um um two of us connect to which
month the seventh month the month of
tishrei that's not we do trouba
like like um it's brought down in in
ghazal based in the verse and king with
the king solomon says about torah
the crown that is mother again mother
you see mother um uh made him so when
she made him a crown
beyonce
day of his marriage which marriage so we
know that some gave us the torah and
anschulus but when we see the second
commandments received it on onion kipper
yom kippur is also called like a
mountain terror for the second
commandments so she made in the crown
who made the crown emoji
mother the mother made the crown when
the day of his marriage was young kipper
when is that in the month of tishrei so
you see again imoi the mother is
connected to the month of history
because that's when we received what the
second set of commandments
now so that's where we received it
but wayne was when it so we know that
history have roshaniyam kippur says to
me true but when is everything revealed
in tishrei everything that's revealed
when on the holiday sukkot and that's
why it's called
the holiday sukkot because everything's
revealed that's a time for joy and
happiness
what's the connection between revelation
and simcha because the fact is what is
simcha simon breaks all the boundaries
all the secrets everything you're
holding out boom comes out when when
you're happy someone that's happy is
open someone that's open is happy and as
you reveal everything someone's happy
reveals everything
and that's why sukkas is also called
the holiday that you gather in why
because you you gathering in all the
services the service of hashanah yum
kippur it all gets gathered in why is
that because what happens is the shuva
that you did roshana the ten days of
true william kippur when does that get
revealed it gets all revealed on
circus everything is open kaga circus
why is that
because when it comes to a doing a
mitzvah
any mitzvah even a physical mitzvah the
fact is
even on a certain level when you do a
mitzvah say difference between person a
doing a missing person be doing bits of
it so you did the mitzvah but even
though from the technical point there's
no difference
in other words for example putting on
filling 10 people put on twilling is
there a difference everyone's wearing
villain so from that respect everyone's
wearing film but the fact is there's a
difference how you put on this film
whether you meditate beforehand you
prepare yourself and when you put until
you only have holy thoughts so even
though technique everyone's wearing the
same pair of fellain but as a difference
how you put on this villain however
there's one missile which is unique to
everybody everyone's the same that is
the mitzvah of troopa
why because when someone says i'm
returning to hashem oh my gosh i messed
up i'm returning to hashem
that's equal to everybody there's
returning there's no returning you print
more or less you returned
if you returned you returned when
someone that's true you returned
so therefore you know
there's when someone says i did i'm
returning to hashem and the second
person and 10 people returned they all
returned you don't return you return
there's one return
so therefore since
truva
everyone is is or equal to everybody and
when does it all get revealed in the
holiday of
of circles
so so therefore it's called
you're gathering everyone together
because it's not like this one's on this
level this one's on that level everyone
comes in the race at the same time
truva is we're all returning we're all
returning together and that's why it's
quite gossip everyone comes back
together
and therefore because everyone comes
back together
and it's all revealed that's why the
simcha the joy of sukkos is even more
powerful and even more greater
now therefore says one second what are
you saying sukkos is
right and that's what we say in the
prayers but the fact is there's an
opinion
in in the in the resharing of the early
commentaries commentators that the truth
is that all the holidays is the holiday
of some colleagues says in the torah
clearly so really all the holidays
shouldn't be
no but the fact is that's that was the
the thought initially but the end is
what's the ruling that no the only
holiday that's called man
as a title this is the theme of the
holidays only circus why because if you
look in the torah
it's the only holiday it says three
times to be happy
and the the happiness of circus is so
huge that from suckers you join
happiness into the other holidays
pesach where over there it only says
simcha once but all that all the hounds
says once so you draw from circus into
the other ones
now in reference bring it back full
circle so in reference to these three
levels of the way hashem loves us as bt
a daughter a choice a sister an email
mother
those are the three blessings
up until we come to the end where it
says should give us peace
and
and peace comes from completion
and we know that the fact is and we
learned this through many many historic
discourses that when it comes to peace
that's the most important thing that
there is out there i'll say it in hebrew
shalom shakal khanegad when it comes to
peace
that trumps everything peace is key and
that's why a person should be willing to
do anything for the sake of peace
because peace is key
so
again just to recap so you'd rather say
what they're ever saying is that you see
the idea of the three blessings in
general it comes from the highest to the
lowest guaranteed but you see the
details of it goes through the whole
year it's connected the three blessings
connected to all the three holidays and
specifically the holidays
a reference to supplies where it's
and that brings a sim card award for the
whole year never finished opening sounds
like this it should be the will of
hashem that all the blessings of the
priest should come down to each and
every one of us
and in the way of the
river it should happen just
automatically over the top and it should
happen to hayward yards deborah we
should all receive the blessings over
the top and shouted very quickly and
especially never says that we heard
today from the khasen
when he prayed he said look
at the camera saying hashem um
our god the god of our fathers bless us
and and um
and everyone answered oh man yes we're
saying oh man we should get those
blessings and we know the fact is robert
says when someone gives you a blessing
and you say amen
when someone makes a blessing and you
say almeid so the one saying the
blessing actually is more powerful than
the one actually saying the blessing
and especially government says we're
standing here um right before the
holidays
um
no we're standing close to the holidays
for us which is this pen this this was
given right afterwards and and in the
holiday shows we had the priestly
blessings through the priests themselves
and especially this specific discourse
was very said the shabbos after us that
what happens in the shabbos after all
the energy of us gets elevated up to the
point of nauseous race we elevate the
head and we should have greatness we
should have the idea of the yahshua
we should have all the blessings of
peace
so that we should have the the
completion of peace when mashiach comes
like the rambam writes in his book
the end of this book that for then it's
going to be fulfilled the the verse that
it tells in the prophets the guards even
kevis that the wolf will align with the
lamb it's ultimate peace there's not
going to be any war
and um and the whole world is not going
any war and how much more so by the
jewish people it's not going anywhere
it's not gonna be any more fighting no
conflicts me one one full level of peace
and what's gonna happen is the new torah
new is gonna be totally revealed when
shia comes like it says at the end of
our parsha
in reference to the the the uh giving
over the the torah to moisture no up
until we're going to reach the level of
our loys on eras we're going to light
the candelabra which we read you know
after passion we read we read the
shabbos afternoon in the time of raven
the raven the highest level of shabbos
um uh what so which is we're going to
light the candle and like it doesn't it
says and it says in the verse and ani
ara khan neighbors would see hashem is
going to show us the candles of zion up
until the point it's going to happen the
hey red yaris divorce can happen very
very quickly and it's going to happen in
the behavior of your main amish
literally very quickly in our days in a
literal way up into the point that
you're able to feel you can feel the
redemption
and that's the ultimate purpose of
bringing it down here that down here we
should feel the redemption like it says
based on the work of our hands we're
going to see the tremendous black
blessings and like it's explained at
length in the acidic discourses and also
in the in the in in the in the in the
dirt this course where it says that um
uh
also in you know the revealed the
discourses that it says clearly in the
talmud that
he's praying and waiting and what he
loves the most is the prayers of
righteous people
and it's going to happen god willing
with the coming of mashiach and like we
know when it comes it's going to happen
not even like the blink of an eye and
what the messiah is going to is going to
come not even like a blink of an eye
it's going to happen like the rubber
finish on says bim hero the amenu mamas
very very quickly in our days in a
literal level
so you see this is another beautiful
beautiful powerful discourse about the
blessings and the priests the police
have the power the power to give us
blessings that are guaranteed issue and
even if it's not it's not meant for us
they can pull down new blessings and
it's going to come down to the lowest
level and like devil says hopefully with
hashem's help we're going to we're going
to we're all we're all going to receive
these powerful blessings and we'll all
have the ultimate the greatest blessing
at the end the blessing of peace and
there's no greater blessing like peace
and with peace comes the ultimate peace
where we can all be together in shalom
here hakoidish have a great and blessed
week and let's hope our next class will
be
shall i am here hakoidesh have a great
and blessed week shabbu tov
