The Power to succeed in Exile. החודש הזה לכם תשל"ה A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're be learning a beautiful discourse on the the name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse that year was which was also the 25th day of the month of ad in the year 50 years ago every went on to certify and ended this discourse in honor of the 25th day of which is the birthday of the rebit in the year 35 years ago so again the verse the the discourse is based on the verse where it says that this month referring to the month of Nissan is going to be to you the beginning of all the months so it's brought down the med and Rashi also brings it um his commentary in the beginning ofes so says as follows said that really should have started it's the first Mitzvah the Jewish people received and what's the reason why it starts off with Bas because Hashem is wants to tell the power of Hashem that hasem created the world hasem maintains the world and Hashem chose to do what he wants to give for example the land of Israel to the Jewish people so based on the idea that we know that even you have a question in t that's also part of T and T of Truth so you can say that this the med says and again T of truth that the beginning of the T should have started and especially the way way the says it shouldn't really started with the way but it should have started with know when it says it shouldn't have so obviously it's it's making a very strong statement and so that's the truth that the tah really um starts on a certain level with AES really it's starting with AES technical reasons that what bra was put first This was later but the fact is some power to idea that on a certain level is first and like the Reb rashab theb in his discourse with this title that um that is actually the main part of the beginning of the Tah but this idea that but the fact that Sous so what do he means the beginning so he means on a spiritual level on a spiritual all starts but in a revealed way the ter starts off with what he like to connect this with what is known between to to fuse the two different opinions of when hasem created the world knows the debate elzar says that the creation of the world was in the month of TI um and means technically it was the 25th day of the month of and the creation of mankind was on mes on R that's when the world is created so's opinion when when the World created TI um Rua's opinion is when was the World created the month of Nissan so technically was been on 25th day ofar and the Man was created so they have two different opinions how do they fuse the two and they explain like this that the creation in the world in reality was in the month of Tish but in thought when did hasem um this thought to decide to create the world was was the month of Nissan so there's thought there's a creation in thought then there's a creation in reality you think we want to do something there's an anniversary when you had this idea then there's the anniversary when it actually took place so you have the anniversary of the world in thought which was the month of Nissan and in reality what was the month of of TI and based on what we know that when someone has a thought that's really the internal and the intent and the ultimate part of the action take every action started with a thought and the action came after the thought so in other words The Creation in reality took place when in the month of T that's what that's the external part of the creation when it came to came to FR but the internal part came started when in the month of Nissan so the same thing also when it comes to the beginning of the Torah this that the Torah begins with bous B that means the creation and reality that took place in the month of T that's external but internally what does the ter really start with which is what referring to the idea of the month of niss understand this idea with an introduction of the difference between the month of Tish the month of Nissan on many many levels and from them as follows the energy that gets drawn down the month of of of t comes from and I'll say the word in cabalistic terminology comes through Awakening from below and the energy that comes down the month of Nissan that comes on high that comes which is called in which means an Awakening from high so again so Tish is basically our effort and Nissan is a gift and that's why when we bless the when we bless for for rain when do we when do we pray for rain we play for rain on the holiday the end ofk when is that plague place in the month of TI however the blessing for do when is that that's in the holiday of p in the month of Nissan why is that cuz grain how does rain come by us praying for it and the other do comes on its own gives a gift the do is always there that's that's one one idea another idea of the difference between the month of N and the month of t that the energy that comes down on rashash which basically is in the the month of TI which comes down energy for the whole year comes on a finite level it's finite it's culated which in generally that's the idea of the energy which is which is comes into the the creations of the world in an internal way and that's the source of the the way the world operates in a natural order on the other hand Nissan is the head of the old months why is that why is it called the head of all the months because from there you have the energy for all all all the Buns just like the the head that from there comes everything comes from it is referring to what the drawing down the infinite part which is above the worlds which basically is a source of the way Miracles take place above nature so again the difference between and Tish is Tish is basically the source of all the finite that exists in the world and Nissan is what the infinite and that's why that when it came to creation of the world when was it in reality the month of Tish when did we leave Egypt in the we left Egypt in the month of Nissan why because the creation of the world which means the world was created in a in a finite world that that runs based on laws of nature and going out of Egypt is going out of limitations going out of limitations of the of the world which means connecting to the infinite which is AB which is above nature so you see the the basic difference between what takes place in the month of Tish which is creation of finite World versus Misan is basically Breaking the Rules of Nature you can say that these two ideas are really really connected why because when you have a energy that comes down through our work our work so that it's finite however when it comes to the gift from hasem there's no limit and So based on this says we have to understand one second this that Hashem had a thought to create the world we learned was one month of Nissan so the question is what is the connection of creating a world which is finite to the month of n which which say is infinite we just learned the difference between the TI and N that TI is finite and N is infinite and what we say thought to create the world Nissan how in the thought are you creating a finite World okay goes on to explain he says like this the um the uh the argument between Razer and Yeshua is also besides about when the world was created TI is also in reference to the time of the future Redemption when Messiah coming so Lesar holds that we we were redeemed in in in in Nissan we went out of M in the month of Nissan however when are we going to go out of when are we going to go out of disas in the month of TI that's what's opinion May Yeshua holds no we went out of from Egypt and Esau and guess what at least someone going to be redeemed so the the third explains that they go according to the same opinion same same idea in reference to the way the Redemption is going to take place what other words Lear holds what is going to cause us to go out of Galos if we do tra we return to hasem means we're going to do our part if we don't do TR up we don't return to we're not going to be redeemed so therefore what do as a hold when are we going to be redeemed in the month of TI why because that's when repentance is very strong doing AR this that the Jewish people redeemed in the month of Misan and the ultimate rtion come to come in the month of because it's totally different because the Redemption that took place when we left Egypt in that came hasm took us out and that's why he took place in the month of Nissan however the ultimate Redemption is going to come through our through our cha and that's why holds when is it going to take place it's going to take take place in the month of TI and that's also why that the Redemption of going out of Egypt and same thing also the Redemption afterwards um there was we um we had a Redemption but we went we went to Exile as well because because because cabalistic terms is called it's the level of Thea weak and however the ultimate Redemption is going to come is going to be a strong Redemption there's not going to be any more Exile afterwards it's going to be the male energy um because we know when when when when when you have the the m is much more dant um and that's the connection between why the the the the the ex the Redemption of of of of of Nissan this Exile afterwards versus from Tish it's going to be it's going to be a complete Redemption so that's the opinion of who rar yua holds no we're not going to go out through through buying ourselves out of Exile we're not going to go out through repentance and we're not going to go out through our Good Deeds because the fact is even if we don't repent we're going to go out of a Gus and therefore therefore therefore Yeshua holds when are we get redeemed in the month of Nissan and that's why the the the uh the Redemption of of of the of the ultimate Redemption is going to be Everlasting it's going to be the energy of of the male energy even though one second it's coming on high because the fact that the Revelation is going to happen in the in the mesiah comes is actually coming from a higher place so knows even if a the male is going to give forth it's going to going to give forth to something which to be Everlasting and like it says that when you have the Revelation from a very very high place then it's going to last and it's going to it's it's something which is going to be forever so that's the difference of opinion between rear and Yeshua says one second we have to understand when it comes to the Redemption we actually go according to according to we go Accord according to the uh opinion of rezar when it comes to Ren we go co the prar like the ran writes that the Jewish people are going to be redeemed with repentance we're going to do our avido however when it comes know that's the connection with doing the work however when it comes to the time of the Redemption it's brought down in many many commentaries and and they actually the ultimate resolution is goes according to Yeshua the one get redeemed that will get redeemed in the month of Nissan so here you have two opposites on one hand we're saying is we're going to be redeemed through our work which is technically Tish on the other hand one we redeemed the month of Nissan which basically like of Yeshua how do the two go together you can say the explanations as follows based on the AL right alab explains in Tanya that all the revelations that's going to happen in the future is dependent on our action and our work that we do in in Exile and this idea is obviously goes Accord to everybody and know the fact is in all the revelations going Happ in the future is depending on our our our spiritual work in gas however according to Yeshua this that through our actions and our work in the times of Exile we're going to rece receive the trend of Revelations of the future it's not so on its own but through the fact that we're going to do our work in gas so we will get Merit the Revelation on high orua says no no it's coming from on high but how we going to what what's going to push the button that's going to come from high is our work not that our work is going to make it happen yeah we have to do our work and that's going to push the button but the Revelation is coming from on high So based on the services you can say the the to to to unify the two different that on one hand was saying that the Jewish people are not going to be redeemed only through chuva which means it's our work and on the other hand we're going to be redeemed on from on which means it's going to be a gift from hem because this that the Jewish people do repentance at the end of gas and we're going to be redeemed because by by us doing chuva at the end of Galos will will will Merit revelation of high the idea of the month of of of Nissan okay so another to recap what we're saying is that at one hand yes we have to do our part but the Revelation is going to come from high so he explain this based on it says in the med as follows and he gives an analogy of a king that reference to his bride so he didn't stop praising her so first he called ATI my daughter that's the first level of of Praise then he went on a deeper level of praise and he called her my sister and then he didn't stop praising her until he called her what my mother so he three different Expressions um daughter sister and mother so it's explain theic discourses these three ideas of daughter a sister and mother is referring to the three festivals what's the connection with the three festivals we're going to do one at a time so when the Jewish people left Egypt which basically is the holiday PES and at that time when we left Egypt we were naked we didn't have any mitz so why we redeemed gave us a gift took us out it was 100 gift we didn't deserve it we didn't earn it hasm took us out like it says came along he himself and gave us a gift and took us out of the of the mud so what when comes and takes us out what are we called we called a b we're called a daughter cuz what is a daughter daugh is a receiver knows you don't have anything but you receive what you receive on high so again so be the daughter is connected to the idea of holiday P which basically is we're totally in acceptance of a gift from mm that's the connection with with daughter with the holiday of p m to when we receive the Fromm we're called we called sisters what's the idea of a sister because when we receive the to we become brothers so speak sister of hm and in general that's the idea that when when when a person learns T we become one with hem and like we know the famous teaching that the Jewish people and the toy and hem become one so through the fact that we have the toy become we become one with Hashem so so so um so theay just connect the idea of what a sister so p is a daughter receiving we receive the gift through T we become a sister we become one with hem and by a person does chuva which is already higher in t then we on the level of IM mother why because when you do Chua you're actually giving Hashem a gift the mother gives the gift so you're actually giving a gift to and like it says clearly so the mishna explains that what is what is the day of a marriage is referring to the day of Y when a person goes ahead and repents and turns to Hashem like the day of yipper because that's the ultimate of returning to Hashem so then we're actually putting a crown hasem and since the the uh revelation of Chua and the atonement that takes place where is that on the holiday so therefore mother is connected so again so B the receiver is connected the P we receive the gift from Hashem um sister is M to we become one with through learning to and then we actually gift to is by doing CH technically where does it get revealed in the holiday and explain in the discourses that this that the ultimate Redemption is going to be when in the month of Nissan even though said receiving which is lower than um a sister and mother because the fact is that the quality of a sister and a mother is referring to the person that himself as an egotistical person I'm serving Hashem in other words when you're serving hem you become learning to I'm learning to become a brother and sister with hem or God forbid so to speak I do TR I'm actually giving hm a gift how so therefore when when you do the a of which means you're learning you doing cha so you you you you reach what level to a level which is of of in HEB in cabal called the way things flow in the world the human being but the real quality of be which was that mean I have nothing un receiving a gift from hasem how does a person come to receive her it's not who I'm a somebody I'm a nobody except and in order to be a receiver you have to be have the quality of B the acceptance but on the other hand when you have the quality of acceptance then you really re reach not levels of is you reach the essence of hem real acceptance allows you to receive the essence of hem and that's why when are we redeemed in the month of Nissan why because the ultimate Redemption when mhia comes what's can be reveal the essence of the infinite power of AEM and this Revelation comes you want to have that Revelation comes through acceptance and that's why it says in reference to Mah poor um and riding on dkey idea of poor the idea of of of of Bast total level of acceptance says you can say that the reasons that the Revelation that's going to take m m is dependent like clearly in Tanya at lent in chapter 37 is dependent on our action and our Deeds now in Exile because acceptance where is the uh acceptance the strongest when we do our work in Exile and like it's explained elsewhere that in the when we served Hashem in the times of the temple so what happens we know in the times of Temple people understood godliness and when they came to the temple they saw godliness so the person felt good I understand I see however in the times of Exile and especially in the times of right before M comes so then what happens is our work is in a level of acceptance not because who we are but only because from godliness and therefore there you can say that the power that we have in our generation to withstand all the tests that the previous generations didn't have including the huge test of not to be embarrassed for people that make fun which actually is a very very strong very very big test why is that because when a person was able to withstand the test by overpowering your your your your your energy that you have and since our our powers that we have are are finite and there's things that we unfortunately can't we're not we don't have the power to overcome however when it comes to the generation before mhia comes and therefore the way we operate today it's not intellect it's not great Visions it's the level of what acceptance not because of the powers we have but we totally accepting whatever Hashem wants he so therefore when you're connecting on that level there's no limits and you can say that this idea the quality of Bas acceptance which takes place specifically in times ofal is is hinted what it's brought down theic discourse is like we mentioned before that the three ideas of a daughter sister and mother if we said it's connected to three festivals cuz the way the way the way the order is is that what's the lowest the the daughter and then you go to sister and then you go to mother so that's the way the festivals are weird powerful in the times of the temple when you had the revelations this is lower this is higher but now um in in the time of Exile when the the acceptance of Exile which is basically a total acceptance of the Soul so it's it's not part of these three where it's the lowest it's actually the highest level so today B is actually the highest acceptance is the highest level so Bas Serv says he'd like to explain the the the unification of the two different uh uh uh rulings about um the Redemption because on one hand we say that the Jewish people are only redeemed when you do chuva you have to repent on the other hand we said when when are we redeemed in the month of Nissan month of Nissan is coming and there explains this very very powerful this that the Jewish people do truva repent in the end ex end of Exile and we know that in time of Exile what happens in time of Exile the the the the powerful um concealment is the end of Exile so what does the person feel that the reason why that returning to hasem to returning to Hashem is not because I'm returning to Hashem why are we returning to hm because the promised us the Torah promised at the end of Exile everyone's going to do trva not because I'm this sophisticated person I'm the tah promis everyone return to hem which is basically the level of Nissan God's going to create the powerful gift of revealing himself to inspire us to do cha in other words it's not because I'm doing anything it's strictly I'm AAS Nissan as idea of the daughter I'm the Bas so one hand it's tra I'm returning to hm why am I returning to hem because hasm promised and what did I do nothing I just accepted it so even though on one hand you can say but the fact I returned it's my choice and it's my my my my will my wanting to return like the Rah writes clearly that the end everyone is going to do chuva which means we're going to do we're going to be our part we're going to return to hem not like an Awakening from like some kind of a voice is going to come out but the fact is why are we doing Chua not because all we were inspired to do Chua yeah we're going to do the work but the reason why we're doing TR is because hm promised that we're eventually going to do TR so we're doing it from the promise of hem and you can say and that's why it says that when the Jewish Jew Chua we return to right away you're going to be redeemed in other words when a person does chuva because you wanted to chuva in other words that you're on a level that you were able to return to hem so even though that TR is in a level TR is always it's a way of Dill you're just jumping you jump out of your situation but the fact is there's levels you doing trouva and you're going to jump out but there still levels and the fact is since a person is finite so therefore your jumping is also has a has a way to do things know first you have the lower level of CHA then you have a higher level of returning to hem and then you totally able to leave Exile but this we say that we do TR at the end of gas and right away boom we're redeemed because doing Chua on the level of Bas we're totally accepting of accepting what the promise of ter say that we're going to do cha that the the acceptance of of of of of the daughter which means total acceptance reaches in the essence of the infam part ofm which is above and therefore the the returning to hm of the love ofas is off the charts and reaches the highest and deeper deepest places now this the deter promises and effects on the person that he should do chuva on his own that's the unification of Nissan and TI so there a ter promises but I'm going to do it that's the unification of n promises but then again you have TI because I'm doing I'm doing the chuva so this the idea of chuva that the end of gas that we do chuva on our own which means our in cabalistic terms and not like when it was when we left Egypt that um the reason why we did it was because it was a powerful Revelation and that's why we had to run away from it so now we have the what the quality of TI we are doing chuva but this that we're doing truva because hasem promised us that we're going to do chuva and because of that we're going to be redeemed right away which is above any level any levels that's the quality of the month of Nissan and like we explained before that the quality of n over over is that by niss we bringing in the infinite part of hem so therefore you can say that this that in Nan specifically we're going to read even though the TR the end of of Exile there's two components you have the component of Nissan where yes the promise of hem but also the component of T because we're doing the trva Because the power to unite that void of which mean we're doing our own tra and which means the promise of what does that mean PR uh practically because the ultimate intent is creating the world in tious that when hasem created a finite World why was that why so that by doing our of learning and doing the ultimate goal is what so in other words that's the ultimate view on one hand again you have TI and you have niss so if it's really both Hashem has promised us and we're going to do vo so why isn't why isn't the Redemption in in why is because the ultimate goal is to bring in the infinite into the finite world and that's why the thought of creating the world was when the Nissan because the thought that's the that's the intent and that's the ultimate purpose cuz and because the actions come after the thought because the ultimate inent of creating the world is of of a TIR finite world that we should have the revelation of Nissan be in the world but in order to fulfill the intent that even in the finite should have the revelation of the infinite so therefore the reality is the world was created when in a way that you should not feel the infinite in the world and that's why the world is created in a finite way in the energy of Tish and by doing our actions and our work and especially in time of Exile what gets revealed the internal part the intent of finite that was that was created in the month of tire that the goal is that infinite should be there and that's why when it comes to the doing the chuva at the end of gas which means the action of the person that he's returning to Hashem it's in a way of what of infinite of the idea of Nissan because when person does their work and their actions what gets revealed that what's the internal reason of all the finite which was created in the month of T is to bring in the infinite part of Nissan and that's why when we redeemed we're going redeemed in the month of Nissan because then what's going to be revealed is that even the finite part of ti ti the internal part is really the infinite of the month of Nissa that's why says that the T really should have started away from why because that's the truth cuz that's really the intent and this is the ter really actually starts with Braes even though it's all about bringing in the infinite part of hasem which is much higher in the world because the ultimate part of T is to bring in the revelation of the infinite part of hem into the world and therefore the Torah has the the telling us also about the action of the world to bring in the infinite part of tah and to make a dwelling place for hasem down in this world but in order that the re the infinite part of T should also be in the world the way it's a physical world so to speak outside of Torah so to speak so therefore it's Sous because by telling us the the creation of the world and Sly also all the Torah portions afterwards before it gives us the mites which is the first MIT that were commanded so that by learning Torah and doing the mitz we able to reveal the infinite part of even into the physical world the way was the way it was before we Reed the and since this idea of starting with braus is so that that the infinite part of of it should also be embrac in the physical world the way it exist before so therefore what comes out the internal part which is basically a is because the internal part of R which is before is all about to bring in the power Infinite Energy says we know that the creation of the world was when on the 25th day of the month of 25 and Hebrew is which is the idea of the spiritual of so hasem said and then when did hasem create the man Mankind in the first day of TI so then there was revelation of hem in the world idea of Z so the creation of the world was and Mankind was there would came into the world however the revelation that came in the world when Man was created you can't compare to the Revelation that took place when gave us a turo So based on this say something very very powerful this is the internal part of the creation of the world and it's higher than the the the the the repentance that a person does of bringing the infinite part into the world because the union of the infinite and the finite when a person does trva is higher than the limitation of the revelation of the infinite of learning turning new mits in the world when it's on the level of which is that's the lower level and that's why which is is the internal part of the creation of the world which means bringing in the infinite of into the world which is created through on the level of of you can say this Revelation when is that going to happen that's going to happen in the Redemption which comes after the the repentance that we do in in in in in Exile know the by the mere fact that we do the repentance then we're going to bring in the higher level and by by revealing the infinite part of hem in the world the way it's in the level of Z know the human being and by through the fact that we do Chua at the end of gas then what's going to happen afterwards we're going to have the revelation of the infinite part of hasm in the world even on the way the world's level of and by by revealing hm not only into the Z by the person doing true but even in the world itself we're going to fulfill the ultimate completion of making a dwelling place for hasem into this physical world not only in the person of doing it but also in the physical world itself and this is also included with the idea that we that on in the month of Nissan we're going to be redeemed what does that mean we're going redeemed it's we're going to be redeemed is referring to the level of of redemption which comes after repentance so that even the Revelation in the world that's going to be through Redemption by by the by the Jewish people doing Chua is also going to be on a level of niss which means the infinite part of hem which is hi on any connection to the world and the Revelation is going to be in a way that's going to be internalized in the physical world and when is that going to happen the finishes off beautifully it's going to happen with the the Redemption the true Redemption the complete Redemption through Mia through a righteous Messiah finish over a car of M should happen very very soon very very quickly so here we have another very very powerful beautiful discourse of the Reba the touches on many many ideas when the world was created um and and then when the Redemption is going to happen but ultimately that we have the power in now to bring in the infinite part of hem in this world and that will ultimately bring the ultimate Revelation and let's hope pray it happens very very soon very very quickly our next class will be Ines have a great and blessed week shaba to
