welcome to our class on exodus we're
going to be learning this week a
beautiful hasidic discourse from the
rebbe
the rabbis said this discourse on gimel
thomas the third day of the month of
tammuz
in the year tough shin khaf dali which
is 57 years ago
that year gimmel thomas was in shabbos
parish as koira
this week this year where it's
approximately
gospel but they ever said this on gimel
tamas and the name of the
discourse
a verse in the prophets um
and kings where king solomon prayed to
hashem that shall be with the jewish
people
and the rabbit went ahead and certified
and edited this hasidic discourse
in honor of gimmel thomas which is the
beginning of the liberation of the
previous robin from prison for spreading
torah and khasiddhis in the year tough
nun exactly 31 years ago
so again the discourse is based on the
verse and the prophets where it says
king solomon says
that hashem should be with us
like it was he was with our forefathers
alyas vainu valicenu he should not
forsake us
so the rabbit brings is a famous sikha
talk
from the balagula the person that was
celebrating his liberation
the frida kahraba and he said this
talk famous famous civic talk it's
called the sikha
he said it on gimel talmus on the third
day of the month of tammuz
in the year tough race pay zion exactly
94 years ago
what did he say so he said on this verse
and he said and i will translate it
he should not forsake us and he
translated hashem
his boroughs all zaimatons hashem should
be with us
but then he added and he said not only
should be
and he will be with us like a promise
just like
he was with our forefathers so they have
asked a simple question
we all know that a request and a promise
is two different things and possibly
even the opposite a request as you're
asking
it might happen it might not happen a
promise is saying it's going to happen
but nevertheless when the free the
kareba said to see khan gimmel thomas
and telfresh pay zion
what did he say we're asking by hashem
that hashem should be with us and he
will be with us
knows the request is not only that he
should be with us but he will be with us
it's opposites what does that mean now
even though
you can say that yahi which is the verse
the word in the verse
it's also an expression of a request
and it's also possibly an expression of
yahi
a promise but the fact is it's two
different
two different two different translations
so you can either say
hashem will be with a requesting we're
hoping that he's with us
or you can say it's a promise but here
he combines the two
you know he's saying we're requesting
hashem should be with us
and then we're promising hashem is going
to be with us
in that secret the previous server
continues on to say
that this that we're saying that hashem
should be with us
like he was with our forefathers abraham
isaac and jacob
which again it's a request and a promise
that he's going to be with us
so he explains as follows what
he knows even though he says we're not
like our forefathers we're not abraham
and isaac and jacob
but nevertheless we're asking hashem and
also as the prescriber says
we're promising there's going to be with
us like like the forefathers
even though we're not not like them now
what's the source of that
i mean if we're not like the forefathers
and he was he was with the forefathers
because they were the forefathers
holy titanic and righteous people so
what does that mean we should why
shouldn't be with us like he was with
them
so he says the source is actually a
famous medwish the madrid says as
follows
that king solomon says to hashem with a
parable
if there's a king that hires workers
and they do their job and they do a
beautiful job
and he pays them so what's the big
praising the king
you hired workers they did a job they
did a nice job sure you pay them
so when can you praise the king for
paying the workers
when he hires shlock workers workers
that aren't good
and they're not doing their job and then
nevertheless the king pays them wow
that's praising the king why because he
hired he like people are not capable of
doing the work
they don't do the work and nevertheless
he pays them that's a sign
of kindness or something special a king
will do that it's almost like throwing
money in the garbage
so basis he says what hashem is saying
he has some king solomon saying ye he
hashem al-qaeda
should be with us like he was with our
forefathers
so we're saying what do you mean our
forefathers are our forefathers yeah
exactly
just like he was with our forefathers
big deal say he was with them they're
righteous people
but he should be with us even though
we're not in that same level which
basically the source is from that madras
now he explains why can't we compare to
our forefathers
like why like how are they different
than us and he explains
because our forefathers they went on
mesiras nephesh
in reality for what for learning torah
doing the mitzvoties they are willing to
go on self-sacrifice
and we're not in that level we're not
willing to go on self-sacrifice like
that like
like the patriarchs so they're going to
ask a simple question one second we have
to understand
when did the previous rebbe say this
sikha that we're not like
we're not like our our forefathers that
want to massage nephesh
that was when he traveled to exile
to castroma now that
knows he was going into exile and this
fact that he was going into exile and
before that that he was in prison
why did he go into exile i was in prison
because he went on self-sacrifice
literally to learn torah to teach torah
to observe mitzvahs to to spread mitzvos
and not only that even this talk that he
was saying was mysterious nephesh
who gives a torah thought when you're
going to you're going to exile
but nevertheless so he's in a state of
masiras nephesh
he's going to prison from the
seriousness but he says no no we're not
like the forefathers why not
on the contrary he possibly he is just
like like the forefathers
he's also going to mysterious nephesh
so david says it's possible you can say
since
what was the previous server saying what
was his request hashem should be with us
and as he was asking us not only himself
he wasn't saying i supposed to be with
me
see if he was saying should be with me
so you can say fine i get it why because
hello
he's like he's like the patriarch he's
going on a serious nephesh but since
he's saying hashem should be with us
including everybody for all the jewish
people
even people that just have the label
they're jewish but not necessarily
practicing
so therefore if possible since he's
talking about everybody and people
just basically are just jewish but not
necessarily learning doing mitzvot he's
praying
et cetera so therefore he said we're not
compared to
our forefathers that went into
seriousness from reality so seemingly
you can say that there are some numbers
it's not really a good answer why
because what is he saying
we are not we we are not compared to our
forefathers
so true he's including other people but
he's including himself in the group and
since he's including himself in the
group so he is
going on seriousness now you can't say
that he's being humble
why because when you
someone's humble it has to have some
kind of like you know
don't like you know you have to
exaggerate but to say that he had no
mysterious definition that's not
humility that's a false statement
humility means that you're toning now
what you're doing but you can't deny it
you can't make a flat denial to it
so that's a few ideas we have to
understand now that everybody goes
further he says like this
besides the questions that the the that
the the that the um
on this on the talk that the freedom
gave the rest ask his followers
let's look at the verse itself what does
it say in the verse
hashem should be what with us now
what are we saying hashem alike what
does that mean
hashem the infinite god eli kanu is our
god
and what does what does it mean our god
so first of all means it's our god
but this translate what it means to our
god
el cano means our power
and our vitality that we have comes from
hashem
so think about it what does all the know
mean the fact that we exist comes from
hashem
so if if we existing because of
ourselves hashem is with us
so why we ask if it's
if you're recognizing hashem is who we
are and it gives us our vitality
what what does this mean hashem is
obviously with us
that's questionable on the verse next we
have to understand
what are we saying hashem should be with
us
just like he was with the forefathers so
when you say hashem should be
with us what does that mean we are the
main thing
and hashem will be with us that our
forefathers are the main thing
and hashem was with them and everybody
gives an example like for example it
says natalmud
that was there's an inheritance um
that the the people that are inheriting
together with the husband
to inherit together with with the father
that in other words that the the people
that are inheriting with the husband
are secondary to the ones that have her
and her inheriting with the actual
father
so you see that the me when you say im
so
em is the main we are the main obviously
the main hashem the secondary
and what are we saying hashem should be
with us with the forefathers the hashem
is secondary hashem is first the
sherman's primary
okay so now we have a lot of questions
sure is going to explain it
with an introduction he says as follows
it's known that uh based on the verse in
the prophets where it associates
yirusha mayam to be an o of hashem with
the expression of an oyster a treasure
so trouble asks why is it that
yerushamayim to be
all of hashem is associated with the
expression of a treasure
oh yeah a treasure of being god-fearing
what's the connection god fearing is god
foreign let's just do it idea of a
treasure
and he explains like this because just
like
in a treasure chest of the king
has a king having has a king philip his
treasure chest
he collects taxes he collects gifts from
other people
in other words the only way he has
treasures is he gets from other people
the king didn't create all his treasures
he collects taxes people give him gifts
and he makes a treasure
so in other words a treasure of a king
is from other people
so they said the same thing also when it
comes to era
vegan of hashem which is the treasure of
the king of all kings
the treasure of hashem that doesn't come
from hashem
and as we know everything that goes on
tell us everything comes from hashem
except being an all hashem hashem
creates everything
she maintains everything but to be in
all of hashem that comes from us
that's our gift to hashem
now the subject says one second what are
we saying
that we give the gift to hashem
what's the gift here is hashem as a gift
to hashem
that's something that the king can't get
on his own
either way in all of him would not know
of him if we're in all of him guess what
he has people that are nor of him
trevor goes a step further and says this
if we're taking the theory or the
reality
that you as hashem is something we give
to hashem
so why is it only a why is it only why
do we only use the expression when it
comes to years hashem
the fact is this that hashem so to speak
needs
us it doesn't apply unto years hashem
applies to all the mitzvahs
think about it hashem really doesn't
need us but
could hashem have people doing mitzvos
if we're not doing it
how could he so technically the mitzvah
should also be
called a treasure but we don't find the
mitsubs are called a treasure
only here is hashem so debbie explains
because the fact is like this you can do
mitt's voice
you can check it off the list all 613
commandments 248
positive the 365 negative commandments
but if you want the mitzvot to be a
complete mitzvah
a full mitzvah a hebrew term kid the boy
like it's supposed to be
the only way a mitzvah can be complete
is if you love hashem
and year is hashem so in other words
like this you can do a mitzvah
and we do many mixtures and we should do
the mitzvahs even if we're not inspired
but guess what it's not a complete
mitzvah when does a mitzvah come
complete
when you're in love with hashem you're
in a relationship that you love hashem
and you know hashem then the mitzvah
becomes complete now
so amitsvanatom doesn't create a
treasure
what creates the treasure is when this
year is hashem one second but we said
there's two things there's love and awe
but there's a major difference between
loving hashem and being in all of hashem
what's the difference
the difference between love and or so
how do we come to love hashem we love
hashem how do we comfortable of hashem
so love is inspired
by a revelation from on high
in other words hashem does something
great to us what do we say we love him
what happens when hashem is hiding we
don't love him
love comes so to speak almost from the
other person someone does great things
to you so you love the person
they don't do the love is not on fire
love is inspired by the other person on
the other hand
when it comes to being an awe of hashem
how does that happen
that's something you we choose
through work to be in awe of something
so that's a hundred percent
our choice and europe is a simple
example
we all know of
if you have a king a flag king of flesh
and blood a king in this world
now if you're part of that country
and this is your king so you accept it
upon yourself
this person to be your king and because
you accepted this person to be your king
now you're not the king because it's
your king but let's say a king from a
different country you have nothing to do
with him are you going to be in all of
that king
no so if you believe in a certain
country you're an all of your king
a person living in different country
isn't all of their king but why
if the king is someone you should be in
awe of how come you're not
involved all the kings and heck and the
answer is because
all comes from me so the the king my
king i'm an oath
someone that's not my kingdom and not
north so love
something that's beautiful you love it
you don't have a choice it's just
beautiful
all comes us hashem comes from from my
part
i'm choosing to be in all of this king
and i was like we know in on reference
to hashem
accepting hashem as a king doesn't come
hashem can
some can't force you to be to be to be
to be um
to to be in all of him
to accept the king that comes from the
people
as the verse says in the torah clearly
it doesn't say okay the king is going to
be king over you no
saying you have to appoint the king over
yourself
because to be in all the king that you
have to do
so based on this the rabbi explains
powerful and he says like this
what does the verse say hashem should be
imanu with us
castro like he was imagi
so in other words who's this who's
coming first we're first
imanu we're first and hashem is our
hashem he should be with us
like i was saying oh hashem was saying
why
because what does it say in tanya you
have you have to
be in awe of hashem you have to love
hashem what comes first
giro or alva so the altar rights in
tanya clearly
that giris hashem being an oauth hashem
is the beginning
the beginning of the serving hashem the
main
part of serving hashem and the root of
serving hashem
so if you want to serve hashem yira
comes first being in all comes first
and that's the beginning that's the main
and that is the root of the serving
hashem
afterwards comes hashem why because the
main
service that we do are avoid the artwork
is to accepting hashem as a king
now so if that's the case if we're doing
the whole work imanu it's all about us
so what what do we need hashem kenu
ashram should be with us
and the answer is very simple because
the revelation of hashem the kenu
helps us and inspires us
to be manu
so in other words like this when it
comes to years hashem that's something
we do
and that's the main that's the main
avoider and that's why when it comes to
hiroshima it's called the eight sir of
the king
why because just like a treasure is
stuff that other people give to the king
the same thing also yirushasam is
something we give saying
we accept hashem as the king abu hasham
comes afterwards
mitzvahs come afterwards and that's why
we specifically when it comes to eurasia
it says because that's the part that we
fully
uh engage and we fully do and it's
tremendous work on our part
now so the question is
why is that why is yuri's hashem
specifically through aravoid through our
work why can't why can't we be inspired
to be in
hashem and we all want you know the easy
route just like you know we see
something beautiful we love it
why can't we be in all of hashem just
because we're because of what we see
hashem
andre explains like this the
spiritual component and the makeup
of yira the makeup of being an aw is
here's a key word
and thereby explains yera is what is
yirah bittel
bittle means less of me
acceptance so the more person humbles
himself
the more era so
bittel means i am humbling myself
nobody can cr nobody can cause someone
else
to have humility humility comes from
yourself
you meditate you learn and you realize
guess what hashem created the world
and we're very grateful who comes to
that realization that you come to on
your own
so true avoider which is devoid of bitto
humbling yourself that the only one can
do is you
and because yira is really bitter
so year it has to be from us and
specifically durba says
when it comes to being in all of the
king like the verse says
we should put the king upon us and the
verse says
we should be in all of hashem who does
the work we do the work
another goes like this this that we're
bottle
this that we're humbled this that we
accept
this that we're in awe is i that's the
idea that we are
the servant of the king and as we
know there's a part of us that we're the
son of the king that's not hero
the part of us that we're in evidence
we're totally god's servant we're ready
to do whatever hashem wants
we have no agenda we have no plan
whatever he hashem
wants like avraham said he named i'm
here
what is needed now wha
why why we compared to our servant then
because the nature of a servant
the spiritual servant is that the ore
and the trepidation of his master is on
him
and as you feel in awe and trepidation
of your master
in other words bitter
which is humility and you're humbled
of a servant that's called the ultimate
in humility and there's obviously
there's different levels of humility you
can be a little bit more
more but the ultimate in embittle
the ultimate in acceptance the ultimate
is i'm ready to do whatever hashem wants
that's represented by a true servant
so since bittel comes from the person
dedicating themselves to hashem
being humble to hashem so therefore the
only one can do it is us
the only one that can humble themselves
is himself
the only one that can realize that wow
amino
hashem is only we can do that
why they're explaining like this because
anytime
there's an inspiration from above like
in love
wow i love hashem why do you love hashem
because i'm inspired you it's an
inspirational above
so any time there's a relation from
above
that's not real change it's like putting
on a suit
putting on a hat putting on jewelry
it's not you it's external so any time
is there a relation from above
it's not real change it's external
change
so therefore when when you're inspired
from from from with outside
not from within from with outside like
love so the only thing that changes
i'll say it in hebrew and i'll translate
isn't your seer is in the image but not
the person
any time there's a inspiration
that causes change from without
and you can have real change but it's
only in the image
it's not the person that changed the
person doesn't change
when does the person change that when it
comes from within
that's bitter will cause internal change
that's when the person himself changes
so in order for a person to have true
bitter
true humility true acceptance
true recognition and being in all of
hashem like this
the humility of a servant
and it was like we know for example the
difference being someone that's free
and someone that's a slave it's not just
in technically this one's free and
that's when they're a slave no no
it's not an external difference it's in
who they are
a free person free does whatever they
want
a servant his whole being is
to take care of the master how does that
happen
you can't force someone to willing to
serve hashem it doesn't work that way
you on your own have to decide when a
person decides an
acceptance for himself to be the servant
of hashem
now you'll be the servant of hashem
there's no inspiration in the world
that can inspire someone to be the
servant of hashem
yeah you can be inspired but to to do it
but the one that has to make the switch
the one that has to make to say you know
what that's it i'm accepting hashem as
my god
and i'm willing to do anything you know
when that happens when you
when you decide it you can be inspired
you can go to classes you can hear
inspirational talks you can listen to
meditative music it's all great and will
really create a beautiful
atmosphere and it will change the image
but to change who you are that comes
from within when you decide you know
what that's it
i'm ready to change my life i'm ready to
accept hashem as my god
then that's when change really starts
so therefore yeris hashem to be in all
of hashem
comes from within comes from self
because it's connected to bittle
and bittle only happens when the person
from within decides
and then you see real change then you're
a new person a
total new person you probably won't even
recognize yourself because it's a new
you
you change from within not from
externally now the other says this idea
of bitter where the person
is transformed from within like gyrus
hashem
is the same idea what happens when a
person decides they're going a
mysterious nephesh
mysteriousness means they're willing to
give their life
to do the right thing for hashem why
what is mysteriousness
mysteriousness means i'm willing to give
up anything and everything
for hashem what is that called in the
world of the world of kabbalah
mysterious staffers means bitter
buttockless
you're totally willing to give up
anything and everything
that's been seriousness totally willing
to give everything anything and
everything
and especially especially that
mysterious nephron is connected to bit
of attack list
is when a person decides he's willing to
go and self-sacrifice
on things that you don't have to give up
your life for it
torah doesn't say in certain areas you
have to give up your life when you
decide no no i'm willing to go whatever
it takes and that doesn't mean only
giving up your life
physically it could be giving up until
you wanted to do something right now and
you give up right now an hour instead of
doing what you want but instead you
learn
so you pray and say you do a mitzvah
that's miserables nephesh
because you're giving up bitter tacos
who no one can force you to do that
you're on your own deciding you want to
do that
so mysterious nephes was connected to
bitter connected to europe
in other words been serious nephesh no
one can inspire you to go mysterious
nephesh
no inspiration will cause you to willing
to sacrifice it doesn't work
you know when you're going to serious
damage when you decide that you want to
have a change in your life
because any external inspiration will
not cause you real change
real change comes about when you decide
from within you're ready to change
so based on this river explains why the
record the the uh the the request and
the prayer
of the balagula which is the previous
rubber in his
talk the famous talk in gilmore commas
on the verse where he said you he hashem
the kingdom
shall be with us like he was with our
with our forefathers
because he was talking about what he was
talking about
the work of a serious nephesh
self-sacrifice
and and he was actually going on
self-sacrifice in areas where he didn't
have to go on self-sacrifice
and since self-sacrifice is what the per
on his own he decided to go on
self-sacrifice
now obviously hashem al-qaeda inspires
us to do it for sure
so therefore because it's all about
self-sacrifice differently he started
off in the verse yehiya shema the kenu
right because we need hashem to inspire
us imanu with us means our
self-sacrifice
kasha holy mother what's the connection
i'm
saying because they also went on
self-sacrifice
now
but still the question now is how do we
com how do we
connect us with hashem
hashem should be with us so ever
explains like this
the expression of m with
only really if there's some kind of
connection
and some kind of comparison you can say
something totally abstract should be
with something totally has no
relationship
it's two things one with the other
they're little different levels and the
goal is to get them together there has
to be some kind of comparison
they're not they're not exactly
connected and the goal is to get them
connected
like the rubber brings from the verse in
the turret says these
yatsufu that they're going to stand with
you
and which means mean with you your
mercury was on a different level than
they are
but diamond compared to them now
even though in means are not as great as
moisture abner
but nevertheless they have some kind of
connection
so that's one so that's one term in when
you say
em it means that there is some kind of
connection not fully and the goal is to
connect them
okay there's another term which is also
connection which is called s
so when you say s you means this
as this that means it's it's not
as important as the as as the other
thing like for example the verses in the
torah
especially so what does it mean
especially
as a tougher i'm sorry the main thing is
that the bossa and this is what's
connected to it now
but nevertheless it has some kind of
connection like and whoever brings
another example where it says
they're going to carry with you so it's
now so again so we have two terms
m and s they both mean
connecting two things that have some
kind of connection
and obviously one is a little more more
more important than the other one
now there are brains of this brought
down in in in books that deal with dick
duck
that explain how to read certain words
how to add the translation
what it means etc that when you
so you have two two terms s and m which
means that they're not a hundred percent
but
and but there is some kind of connection
but one is obviously
further again one expression is further
away a gap and one is a closer gap
so s is a further gap away
and m is actually closer now
so when you say s so there is a
connection
but s is much further than the object
you're talking about
when you say in obviously you're
focusing that they are more connected
now so there is using this as an
introduction to point out when the verse
says
with that means when we're saying
hashem the infinite hashem shall be iman
with us
not god forbid that hashem is secondary
to us like the word
s s would mean a secondary
in means hashem is on the same level
and there is a connection there is a lot
in common
what's the lot in common about what's
the main
and what so to speak secondary but not
that it's totally far off like
s it means it's a much closer it's not
perfect it's not complete but it's much
closer
i know it's like this never explains as
follows
what is what we learned before when is
our avoider
complete so he's what we learned before
you can do a mitzvah it's great it's
wonderful you did a mitzvah
when is it complete when you have avers
hashem
that means you're inspired from above
but more importantly when you have
yura's hashem
so a mitzvah is complete when you're
doing the mitzvah you're doing it
because you love hashem which came from
inspiration on high
and then when you're doing it and
actually first from years hashem you're
an awe of hashem
and that is you that is the that creates
that void where it's complete
in hebrew it's called a void that when
you did the work with your own energies
with your own initiative with your own
power
now so since what is the what is our
complete avoid
when we do it because so therefore you
hear
that so to speak hashem is secondary to
us walkers who's doing the work
emonu we're doing the work we're doing
avoid the mccoy
we're doing gyros hashem so yes
even though it's obviously connected but
since we're doing the avoid those so we
sort of be coming first
first first base so to speak and hashem
comes following afterwards
taking a step further says
that when is our avoider complete
and it was evenly avoided that we do on
our own
which is year is hashem or mysterious
nephesh
right we're going on mysteriousness
and even when we're going on a serious
netflix we're willing to self-sacrifice
we don't have to
so it's huge we're really stepping up to
the plate
so here you're going to take it a step a
step a step deeper
so there's no question doing it avoid
the
bitter years hashem the serious snapfish
even you don't have to it's amazing
you're doing your voda
but why are you doing it why now we're
going to go step back why are you doing
it
you can do it because i want to serve
hashem
i want to serve hashem
that's one reason but then there's
another deeper reason why am i doing it
you know i i'm humbled hashem you know i
have years hashem
you know i'm going i'm a serious nephesh
because i
am bottle lilicus i'm totally
humbled and i'm totally accepting hashem
on all levels so because i'm but i
bought the little close almost like i
don't exist
the i the ego the ego doesn't exist
then for sure it's here is hashem
mysterious staffish
iran have to there's no me there's no me
so bittel brings it up a notch
now when a person is totally humble to
hashem
i'll say it in hebrew
totally humbled you're totally willing
to accept and in hebrew it's called
bitnbataklas
totally 100 there's no ego whatsoever
left
so what happens when a person is in a
relationship with hashem with zero ego
so therefore automatically every single
mitzvah that you do
even when you don't have to go on a
serious nephesh
so what happened is because you're
totally humbled hashem you totally
submitted yourself to hashem you totally
bottled that
there's no mitzvah that you're not going
to do
that's not possible that you're not
going to do it even if you have to go
with seriousness
so it's never saying it's like this
there's two components
this one is yours we have years hashem
we're doing that but you don't serious
never etc
but the question is why am i doing it am
i doing it because i want to serve
hashem my ego is serving my ego is
growing i'm a serious nervous and that's
possible
or a higher level is there's no me and
because there's no me whatever needs to
be done i'm ready to do
so i'm going to miss hashem runs the
show whatever
whatever hashem wants are doing whether
we interested not interested whether we
have to go mr whatever hashem wants is
happening
now to take a step further says
dad when a person has totally
bought the lilacos when a person is
totally accepting hashem
and it's all about hashem it's there's
no ego there
what happens then is when it comes to
mysterious nephesh
mysteriousness is off the charts it's
much more powerful
or mysterious on on on steroids why
because when a person is not necessarily
but the lucas you have the ego and you
made a calculation you want to serve
hashem
you know you're an aura of hashem you're
going to go with serious nephesh
and you decided that you want to fulfill
every commandment of hashem and even if
you have to go with seriousness i'm
willing to do it
so because you're deciding and it's
great
but is it possible you're going to
decide you don't want to go into
seriousness 100
since you decided you can start you
always unchange the middle
mid stream you can change you know what
that too much
too much too hard i want to stop
now doesn't mean you have to stop you
couldn't reality go mysteriousness 100
but it's possible you can stop
when you're doing it on your own however
when the mysteriousness is because
you're totally bottled up
it's not about your choosing it no no
there's no me there's no ego
what does hashem want him ready to do it
so therefore when a person totally gives
up their ego and who they are
so therefore every single bits of hashem
it's not possible not to do it
if you're choosing to go on a serious
nervous or you're choosing a
in theory you can choose not to but if
you bottle that college borough
you're totally accepting hashem so what
does that mean
it's not it's not it's how can you go
back on something
i don't exist there's no me it's all
about hashem so you can never
you can't retract it whatever if it's a
mitzvah needs
to do with doing it so it's not possible
to be any other way it's not possible
not to happen
it's a major difference it's a fine
difference but a major difference
and as you can have two people going
seriously one person decided
they're willing to do anything for
hashem
but what happens could they stop at any
point a hundred percent
on the other hand you have someone says
no no it's not about me i am doing
whatever hashem wants
and obviously whatever is needed serious
nervous whatever is needed
so is it possible to stop no because
it's not about what they're doing it's
about they basically accepted hashem as
a king
they're willing to do whatever hashem
wants
so based on this river explains what the
verse says
beautifully
hashem should be with us like you is
with our forefathers
because what would mean like like the
forefathers and never explains
beautifully
because when it came to the avoider
serving hashem of the others
you have both of those components on one
hand
the others didn't receive the term yet
the turret was given later at mount
sinai
but nevertheless they kept the whole
torah
in other words see what do you see from
there why did they keep the torah
because you see that they served hashem
not because hashem told them there was
no inspiration about do this do that
there was no
smokes and mirrors mountain sign it was
before that but they on their own chose
it
so the first component is they chose to
serve hashem
but nevertheless even though they chose
but it wasn't their ego that chose it
second point now
that they shot but they were also
metaclis orbital
they were totally humbled for hashem how
do we know that because if we know it
says
our voice hane haynem are cover the
others are considered like the chariots
what's a chariot so if you have a horse
and buggy
you have a horse and you have the
chariot in the back
now the chariot
the carriage is totally humbled
to the writer not only totally
the chariot is choosing to humble
himself no
the chariot doesn't even have a choice
and there's the chariot
acceptance to the writer not because the
charity's like oh you know what i'm
going to go ahead
and be your chariot no
that he wants to humble himself but you
know what happened was
the the wagon driver took the chariot
hook the hook
hits it on to the horse boom he's
driving
so the others represent two things one
is they accepted even those days that
they have
they accepted so it was their acceptance
but b
they were totally humble they were
totally accepting asham not because
they were inspired from above not
because they were inspired
they not because they chose
hashem chose and they followed they
totally gave themselves over to hashem
now in bitter like we mentioned before
there's many many levels
so because there's many many levels what
do we pray to hashem
hashem shall be with us like it was with
our forefathers
in other words that ye hashem the
kingdom
with us that our humility our
acceptance for hashem our bitter hashem
should be
just like
which is basically the bittle the
acceptance of the more covered
you know as our prayer is what kind of
relationship we have in hashem
that we want to be totally bought to
hashem just like them are covered just
like the others
that our wrought sign our being is
shouldn't exist the only want that we
want is whatever hashem wants
now based on this river explains
why the previous rebbe said as follows
what is what what what the previous
server say even though we don't compare
to the forefathers
and he explained because they were a
mysterious nephesh
and he included himself that we don't
that we including himself he was not in
the level of the forefathers
because they were mysterious nephesh
what do you mean but the freedom was on
the seriousness then
he gave up his life beforehand
he was going in exile now from a serious
snapfish even the rabbi mentioned the
talk he was giving
because rebel explains because what's
the greatest mysterious netflix what's
real mysterious nephesh
that when mysterious nephesh is not
because you're choosing to go on a
serious snap fish
but the seriousness is coming because
you're bought to la shem it's all about
hashem total acceptance
now since we learned before in
acceptance as many levels
in bitter there's many levels it's not
like boom it switches on or off there's
many many levels of accepting accepting
it's not about me it's all about hashem
there's many levels
so therefore since as many levels in
bitter
so different says it's possible out of
humility
that he's lacking on the highest level
let's say a bittle
so there's what we the question is you
can't say that that
he's not like he did call him a serious
stuff he answered yes he wanted a
serious nervous and he did have bitter
but it could be he felt like he wasn't
on the highest level
and whether he was or he wasn't it could
be he was saying it for humility but he
wasn't saying he has no bitter he wanted
a serious nephesh he has brittle but
he's not maybe on the level of the
of the others so based on this
also explains why like the frieza
crevice said
that the the the request is hashem the
canadian asham shall be with us
and he added a promise that he's going
to be with us
that zima he's going to be with us the
verse says hashem
should be with us so it's either he's
you know you're requesting
or you're making a promise hacking and
has
it's two opposite terms andrew explains
very powerful and he says as follows
a request is one thing a promise
is telling totally two it's two separate
things
now
why is it two separate things because
when you're praying what does praying
mean
i am praying hashem please i'm making a
request
i'm making a request answer my prayers
that's my it's my work a prayer comes
from me
has a promise happen i can't promise
it's going to happen hashem
could promise so in other words
a prayer is coming from from malmata
it's avoid this album our work
and a promise comes no mind of hashem
now
there happens even by atsadic when a
tardis has some kind of ego
at least on you know in a refined way so
then a prayer
which comes from here from down below
and a promise is two separate things
why because a a promise of a tsar dick
has a tragic promise it's other ken
promised you something on his own
he's coming as a messenger from hashem
a prayer of athadic that's the
childhood's prayer he's praying for you
so when a tattoo prays for you it means
satanic is praying for you
when he's giving you a promise it's
already not him talking it's coming
straight from on high
now so generally speaking of two
different things so how do you put two
together
everything's like that's very powerful
but when it's sad it reaches the level
that
even his avoider
which seemingly he's a matthias either
something because you're doing your
avoider
but when your person when the target is
doing is avoided with ultimate bittle
ultimate acceptance ultimate humility
so then what happens is
even the prayer which is really him but
because he's infused with the ultimate
humility
you also have a promise there also knows
everything's like this
prayers from from down here it's me
matthias i'm praying
a promise to someone high i'm a nobody
but when a
psychic reaches a level where on one
hand he's praying
but it's infused with a hundred percent
bittle
that means it's not him he's a totally a
vessel for hashem
so you can have a prayer and a promise
at the same time
and never says he's like that as follows
similar to this that what that the
person exists but the person is humbled
this powerful idea that you can have the
up two opposites on one hand you exist
but your your existence is humbled
that the rebbe gave this
and draw this this powerful energy into
people that are mukusharim
people that are connected with
and have some kind of relationship with
the rubber so by being connected to the
rabbit by being a cushion to the river
by being
you know connected to that whether
you're going to the oil you're davening
you're praying you're learning therapist
you learn that you you sing therapists
however you connect with the rabbi you
listen to the
hierarchies whatever he instructs you to
do when you connect to the rebel you can
craft
both of those on one hand you're a per
person
that is basically doing your avoider
year is hashem a serious nefesh
but on the other hand you have the
ultimate bittle and you can have a
praying comprehensive
promise together how did the head of the
rebellion have the rabbit to give this
to us
when the rebel infused within us
mysterious snappers
that we're willing to go and sacrifice
even on areas where according to jewish
life you don't have to go on so
self-sacrifice
and you're going up a serious deficit in
a way that's not shy but to be different
why because you're going in with
seriousness because it's because your
bottle of course it's all about hashem
so therefore the river says that the
request
of the previous river is also a promise
is not only from on high with the
with the previous main request no
promise but it's also from us
that we can accept and and connect to
the
to the re to the prayer and to the
promise
and ever finish it off powerfully he
says it should be fulfilled the promise
again the promise the prayer and the
promise of yahiya shema like
that hashem shall be with us you know
we're going to do our avoid the iman
hashem and hashem is going to be with us
and some is going to give us the
inspiration to do it
like he was with our forefathers who
knows we're going to have the true
bitter
the true acceptance and aliya's vainu
valley chain or hashem will never
forsake us never
be disconnected from us and what will
happen is
the holy swirl for all the jewish people
here earlier we're going to have light
in our life the real light but what kind
of light there explains
he says we're gonna have the real light
spiritual light the light of torah the
light of mitzvot is light of prayer the
light of hashem
and bhagashmi is in the physical world
where all the lights are gonna be on
we're gonna see clarity and
all the greatest blessings so as we're
learning this my mirror in honor of
giving
us hope and pray that we stay connected
as ever mentioned before
makushita to the rabbi so we can be
connected to the most powerful light
of having the prayer and the promise of
on one hand we're doing
our avoider but on the other hand we're
totally bottled with a curse
and this way we'll be able to receive
and be connected
to the real light and as the rebel says
the light
baruch and bhagasmis have a great
and blessed week thanks for joining us
for our class on exodus
