The Power of the Holy Soul. קדש ישראל להוי׳ A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the rebba the name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse on shabas that year is the 24th day of the month of Tas which was also the Shabbat that blessed the month of in the year 39 years ago so again theic discourse is based on the verse that says the Jewish people are holding on to hem the beginning of its wheat of its produce all those that eat it will be liable now this verse is the end of the of the Shabbat which begins actually the three weeks so the asks what what is this idea that the the the wheat or the fruit the produce that's growing um that and and that we're comparing the Jewish people to that what what what what are we referring to that's question number one also he says we have to understand because it says to means a at the end and the fact is you read it with with a as if as if there's a v over there so the question is why is it read this written with a he but you read it with with with a V because the way it's read is to also we have to understand what it says all those that that that consume or hurt the Jewish people will be liable so what is what is the connection that because they're holy and that's why they're going to be liable what what's the con to do says we're going we're understand this with introduction about the whole idea of why the soul came down to this world and we know why did the soul come down to this world was in heaven it came down the the concept is that you read yes it's 100% a downgrade in heaven was with God it comes down to this world in the finite body dealing with materialistic world and all the challenges of the world but the reason is there should be a yes there a downgrade but it's going to go up even higher and other words when the soul comes down into this world it's a tremendous downgrade it went from this high huge place down to the lowest place and high and low you mean where God is revealed and God Is concealed in other words when the soul was on high before it came down to this world was on the highest level and like it says clearly every single soul that was standing literally in front of hashem's Throne in front of Hashem and even when it when it when it when when it served the shaman high with love and all it was complete love it was complete all and like it says clearly in the in in in the prophets that that it was on the highest level that he stood in front of hem and the ultimate completion of of of love for hem and all for hasem so that on one hand was on the highest level but the soul unfortunately came down to this world which is the lowest possible place where God is totally concealed so why did it do that and the answer is it did that came down to have a high to have a major upgrade why because when the soul comes down into this world what gets revealed is that even in this world yes even in this world where it's dark and there's challenges and and there's issues it could have be totally complete with connecting to Hashem loving Hashem and all of hem because when it's on high okay very nice it's on a very high level when it comes down here it might fail so the reason why it comes down here to show us the soul has the power to come down this world and still not fail and be successful and that's why it says So based in this instruction explains that's why it says that the Jewish people are holy onto and he explains as follows he explains the verse based on this idea knows the source of the soul is we on the level of Kes holy now this KES could be attached to something a person's holy or KES means it is Holy so the soul on high it's not like it there's a soul and it's holy no the soul itself is Holy not only that not only is it holy on its own but it's that even in the level of which is a very powerful level even over there it's holy so the soul is in the level of Kes Ines now the soul comes down to this world it's what's the purpose to create to G an upgrade in the soul What's the upgrade the upgrade is that that it should become not only the beginning of what's the idea of so like we said before to us is written even though it's to us which really but it's written with a hey why specifically is it written with the letter hey because hey resembles the idea of creating this world because we know that the hey there's five different ways that the the the mouth expresses itself and from there you have the source of the 10 utterances that God used to connect create the world so hey is connected to the five different expression of the mouth which is connected to 10 aranes which ultimately created the world that's one idea also hey is connected to the letter he and like it says in in in in the that we say on we don't say it but it's printed in the some people do have a custom say it so it says in reference to hey it's a very very powerful letter but you can't even it's not tangible doesn't really have U you know any any any substance to it but nevertheless from this powerful letter of hey the this physical world was created like it says the was used to create this world and that's why he says to with a hey at the end which is referring to what hasm creating the world and that's why the soul comes down into this world to reveal that that even when the soul comes down into this world it's still racial it's it's still the beginning of tasa which means it's higher it doesn't get affected by the world it's actually higher than the world that's Point number one not only that that even though the intent of creating Old Worlds wasn't for wasn't for Bria wasn't for the ultimate reason created all the world was to create this world but nevertheless even in this world but God Is concealed we are considered racist the beginning of TOA means beginning of even of the way this world's God Is concealed and why because we obviously are stay above it we don't we don't get absorbed in the world we don't get consumed by the world we don't get swiped Away by the world we stay above it we remain racious to hasem he'd like to add that this that we're called raist it's like tell us that the whole intent of creating the world which is basically the with the he is be so that the Jewish people can be called racist so again so so far we have an explanation to the verse of of of so is referring to the way high racious to us means that even it comes down to us with the he created this world it Still Remains racious the now he goes on to explain the next part of the verse what does it say the little who those that eat it will be liable what does that mean because when the the soul comes down into the world guess what now it has Freedom of Choice like it says clearly hasem says in the Torah I given you life and good the opposite of that and then you can pick you have a choice to pick you can pick to be connect to hm to love hm he knowem or you can pick to get involved unfortunately in the materialistic World up to up to a negative place now even though hasem helps us because we know we could not be successful in a mission without Hashem giving us energy and power to be successful but the fact is it's still 100 free choice yes it's definitely the edges on doing good and the edes on living and being connected to Hashem but the fact is we have freedom of choice anyone we can walk in other words as we know like it says clearly this constant war between The Godly soul and the animal soul and since we're down in this world and we have choice so what can happen is we can be eaten up know we can the the Jewish people can be eaten up because we're down into this world this possibility we can be consumed and not only that it doesn't say one eating but it says plural so is double and then there like a multiple that means there's many many many forces that want to consume us want to consume our jewishness want to take away our jewishness from us want to distract us so that's so you know what the enemy is the enemy wants to eat us up so what's the advice so the verse says which what does it meanu so explains powerfully and says like this because we know the law is that if somebody goes ahead and eat something that belongs to the to the priest which is holy so and which applies over here as well because this comes in continuation the fact that we're KES we're holy so we're in the level of priest we learned before we're holy and we're holy on the level of so what happens if somebody so what happens if someone in so in the example be someone in the temple goes takes something that that belongs to the priest so it says in the Torah that someone sins and he took something which is holy KES you have to pay and you have to add a fif and the fif is basically um one of four of the principle so you with that you have a total of five parts so in other words what are we seeing from this example that when someone goes ahead and takes something that's KES you have to add a fifth so what does that mean practically it explains like this we know there are four worlds but then there's a fifth level what is the what is the fifth level that's referring to the infinite worlds which is above so you have generally you have the four worlds yes and then above you have the infinite worlds so the same thing applies in our soul because we have four levels of the Soul which is and then you have the fifth level which is called and that's why he says all those that want to consume us that means they're basically um taking something which is holy and they're trying to consume the Jewish part part of it so you so order when you're being consumed what do you need to do you have to reach to yes you have to reach reach to the ash you have to reach to the fifth level which means the the the infinite part which is above Aus and practically ourselves we have to reach so we're being attacked we can be attacked level of but then you jump to there's there's your safe zone now but the fact is the fifth it's still it's part it's one part of of of of the of the total five um as like it says clearly with that and the four makes it totally five what does that mean practically that the goal is not just to go to a place of the not just to go place of but you actually have to elevate all the four parts you have to elevate all the four worlds and you have to elevate all the four levels of of the soul that they should be um consumed in the fifth level and like it says clearly in in the Torah that the the Four Hands is going to be for you and the fifth one for par so the idea is to elevate the four parts that they can also be on the the fifth level of par and like he finishes off in theic discourse and he say as in reference to perfect example we all know when it comes to Y ker the holiest day of the year so in that day is the only day of the year that we have five prayers because we have my the night before you have Shak you have you have M you have then you have the highest player now even though you have the first four you have in every Shabbat and every y what's the Revolutionary ideer ah revolutionary ideas the last prayer but nevertheless even though you can say oh it's the last prayer you know special care for the last prayer but the answer is no no no once you have an El on that day all the other four prayers are the level of of and they get elevated by it and they all get elevated to to to level of and how much more so when you when you're literally standing in the fifth level which that's con corresponded to the to the the level of of our soul that all the prayers from the whole day get consumed on it so re basically explain us now the idea of what is those that want to consume us those that want to take away our Focus from hem so we reach out to the deepest level of our soul and we connect to to the atmos but not only there but the goal is to bring everything to that high level and that's why the verse says like we already learned KES referring to the Jewish people are very very holy on the highest level and US means that we're holy in this world and means even they want they want to take us away so to speak we go into the level the highest level which means explains as follows even though the souls on the level of Kes but never less it came down to this world why to reveal that even when it comes down here it can be the beginning of everything why because we have the power of you read you come down to this world for the purpose of elevation so the same thing applies of all those that want to consume us that even though we're in a level of being consumed trying to consume the Jewish partner of us but it's also for the purpose of elevation what's the purpose of elevation that we should reach the our Shamu we should reach our to reach the level the fifth level that we normally would not go to if you weren't challenged and that's why this verse we say in the a Tor which is the beginning of the three weeks because the intent is of the three weeks is like the Rama writes clearly in the the Lend of the laws of of of of fasting and he says like this that these three weeks are going to be transformed they're going to be transformed to days of and joy and celebration and it's the truth and peace is going to be basically loving hasem and that's why we say the verse which which the whole idea is that you read the downgrade is the purpose for the upgrade the purpose is that we can be the beginning in this world and also if we're challenged we can reach the level of Y and um and and uh the idea of of of of saying this verse in the beginning of the three weeks the beginning if we three weeks is because it's a concept that that hasem basically does not bring a disease without bringing the healing first God brings the ru the healing before he brings the plague in other words the healing of Hashem is not that you someone sick and you get healed when Hashem brings healing there was no sickness to begin with know it's not going to be there to begin with and not only that that these days these three weeks are going to be transformed not only it's not going to be that it's going to be transformed to days of joy and celebration and happiness because when you take it away from the when you take you uproot all the problems there's there there there's no benefit and there's no purpose in in in the down grade so therefore besides the fact by taking away the thing from the beginning we also not only take it away we actually transform into the good like it says the ultimate goal is it's transformed to Joy and celebration and that is the ultimate reason why we have the downgrade to transform everything into an experience of and true joy and true happiness and finish off very powerful he says like this and practically as well it should be the will that when we do our spiritual work of loving everybody and unifying all the Jew Jewish people and that's going to go ahead and create the annulment of the cause of the destruction of the temple because we all know the reason why the temple was destroyed because we sinned unfortunately we're taking out the land of Israel and and specifically the the what we were lacking was loving everyone and when we do our work of loving everyone and being unified with everybody and that will take away the cause for Destruction so when you take away the cause what happens is Exiles over automatically and not only that the the downgrade is for the upgrade which means that we're going to have that these days are going be transformed the days of the joy and happiness and celebration and truth and peace and love know what what's the idea what what what's what's real peace what what does it mean peace what's going to be revealed is the wers of hem in the world and like it says clearly in the prophets the glory of hem is g to be revealed everyone's going to see together the one hasem is the one Speaking he's the one running the world and we're going to go together with the with the older people and the younger people with our children our sons and our daughters and one big Community we're going to return to ER Isel to the Holy Land of Israel and afterwards we come to Israel we're not going to just be in Israel we're going to go to Jerusalem and Jerusalem itself we're going to go to the to Theo the the Holy Mountain and there use the idea of holy in essence it's Holy by building the third b mikdash a third Temple and can happen in our generation like finished off so beautifully and powerfully it should happen very very quickly in our days in a literal sense here we have another beautiful powerful discourse in the rebba and about our whole AV in this guses to tra to to transform the world and to elevate the world and create from a negative into not only a positive but a super POS we have tremendous and God willing says we'll finish off thees we'll all be together together
