Welcome to our class on we're going to
be learning a beautiful discourse in the
Reb the name of the discourse is
called when your child your son is going
to ask you the Reb said this discourse
on your Al niss the 11th day of the
month of niss the re's birthday in the
year 46 years ago the re went on to
certify and edit this discourse in honor
of the's birthday the 11th of Nissan in
the
year 34 years ago and this contr this
discourse actually distributed own hands
to the to
the so again the discourse is based on
the verse in Deuteronomy where it
says when your son is going to ask you
tomorrow what is Theos the testimony the
the statutes of and
Lords that God commanded
us says this question Torah
says that is actually the question of
the wi son like it says in
the what does the Wise One say what are
the testimonies and it's known says the
the the questions that are pointed out
in the different discourse of the that
since this child is called the wise one
and other than what does wise mean we
don't mean just he's a smart boy we're
talking about wise and toyra so
obviously he knows what the MIT are so
that's the craze we're dealing with a wi
s Torah what's his question what are the
what is the what is the what what
all these type of Commandments if you're
wise and T you know what they
are also D says you can add that from
the continuation of the verse what does
it say you're going to respond to your
son and what are you going to tell him
that
God commanded us to do all these
statutes and by doing that it's going to
be good for us in other words we explain
the value of doing a Mitzvah it's going
to be good for us in other words so when
we say what is the Aus what is the
testimony we're referring to what what
what are these mitv what quality does
does does it have so if the question
that is a wise person doesn't ask what's
the value of the mitzvah
that's question that's the next question
further says we don't understand when
you explain what's the reason of the
Mitzvah it's like we the answering when
you're answering the child so he says
two ideas there's two things that we're
telling your child number one is that we
were in Egypt God took us out of Egypt
and then he commanded us to do all these
statutes in other words so since we were
in Egypt and God took us out therefore
we're obligated to to fulfill the go
Commandments God asked us to do he's the
one that saved us that's one point that
the reason of the mitah is to to be
grateful for Hashem taking us out of
Egypt and therefore we we we we do all
the Mitzvah and the second idea in
Mitzvah is that by doing the Mitzvah
that's going to be good for us all the
days of our life now this that the
response to the child explains two
different components so obviously these
two components one is the fact that God
took us out of Egypt and because of that
when he asked us to do the we doing the
mitzvas he has has us to do and be
that's going to be good for us obviously
it's a novel idea for this for the son
but the question is one second since he
doesn't know what MIT are in other words
not only does he know that it's good for
us but he doesn't even realize that
we're supposed to do it so why are you
calling him a wise
son also we have to understand like
that's like brought down theic
discourses where he says that God
commanded
God commanded you and not us and not
himself he's not part of it even though
he says that God commanded us see it's
obviously he's including
us so if that's the case why you say you
if it's us then he should say us I he
should have said that God command that I
us or God commanded without saying es
what's the purpose of of of of of of
excluding himself with the second part
in
the says the point of the explanation
that's brought down to discours is it's
based on what it's known that the when
the
Patriarchs observe the mitz so generally
speaking it was a spiritual observance
of the Mitzvah all the Mitzvah they
observed was on a spiritual level and
the
impact that they did in the physical
world was only a vessel for the
spiritual the spiritual connection so by
the the MIT were to create a spiritual
connection
with on the other hand the MIT that were
given to M to at Mount Si over there
what change was it's no it's about doing
the physical
mitv and the doing the Mitzvah is not a
preparation for the intent on the
contrary the action is the more import
most important part so in other words
before we go further saying there a
major difference between the Mitchell
before m before we receiv her and
afterward before mountain by the it was
all about the spiritual connection
Mountain T shifted it's all about no
doing the physical Mitzvah and just like
in our case the Mitzvah of eating matah
if someone's going to sit down by the
Seder and it's going to meditate all the
powerful intentions of the matah and God
forbid he's not going to eat the matah
he's not going to draw down any
energy on the other hand when he eats
the matah and even he had no intention
no meditation he brought down the energy
of mar into this world so therefore the
question that the son is asking how do
you bring down the revelation of the
infinite part of God by your physical
action by the it made sense they
meditated and they connected to God and
they brought in Godly energy but after
the M ter just by doing a physical
eating matah You're Bringing Down the
same energy and that's why he says what
what what is the aidos what is it
testimony that God commanded you
referring to the our spiritual work
after we receive the toyra which means
the physical work not the spiritual one
like like the Patriarchs and his
question is how we drawing in the
revelation of the infinite part of God
by doing something
physical and what's the response you
should tell the child that we were
slaves to par in Egypt and God took us
out and he commanded us to do these
statutes
in other words going into Exile into
Egypt and coming out of Egypt that's a
preparation of receiving the T and M to
there was something that was given a
gift from hasem that we have the power
by doing a physical Mitzvah L to do the
the statutes and specifically lass to do
that through that we have the power to
bring down all the energies that the
Patriarchs did through their spiritual
service and after to the point that not
only we bring down the powerful energies
we can literally bring down the essence
of hem so this is what's explained in
theic discourses know the spiritual idea
of the mitz and that explains what the
what what he's what the child is asking
like how we going to bring how we going
to accomplish through the physical
mitzvas and the response is yes we went
into Egypt we went out Hashem gave us a
Torah and through because hasem gave us
the Torah M SI now it shifted through
the physical M so we can accomplish it
that's the general an re says one second
we have to understand
this ex seemingly this
explanation about the question that the
wise son has what's this what's what's
the question what we what are we
responding to he responding to his
difficulty is how are we going to
accomplish bringing down godliness
revealing godliness after M tell by
doing a MIT a physical Mitzvah so in
other words so that only explains that
after we say that God commanded us so
he's saying and that's why he says you
referring to the people as after mro to
bring out that his question is
not on the mites of the Patriarchs but
he's asking specifically about the MIT
that answers that
question but seemingly this will be
understood even if he he even if he said
that commanded us why does he have to
exclude himself if we're saying Liv be
form after fine I get it but why is he
saying es you versus me we're all part
of the same package also we have to
understand when he says what is the
the testimony The Hook and the statues
and the m and the laws but what does
that mean since he's asking in general
about all the Mitzvah how do we draw
down the light by doing a physical
Mitzvah why is it important to spell out
the different type
ofz and especially that the difference
that's created in the Mitzvah
of that's all where's the difference
it's in the intention it's in the
meditation why because when it comes to
the which is a statue so why are you
doing it it's not logical but you're
doing because said to do so that's one
intention the MIT which is a testimony
or a law you have to do it because
there's logic to it we we're celebrating
PES because God took us out of Egypt or
other laws that that that disciplinary
laws so if that's the
case and so the question then is that
what what does the
adidos what does it have to do with with
the physical Mitzvah if his only
question is about what how do we draw
down with the physical Mitzvah why is he
giving us the division of which has to
do more with the meditation with the
intention part also we have to
understand that the question that the
son is asking is about all three types
of like he spells out and response what
say God commanded us to do the the
statutes he only mentioned the STS if
he's asking about all three why you only
answering about one also we have
understand that the difference between
the three types of mitz adus which is a
testimony which is a statue and Mish
which is a law what what is the
difference a mish a law is a a a
Commandment that we have to do that
logic even tells us to do do so for
example not to steal logic says don't
steal this is mine this is yours or
respecting parents your parents brought
you into the world you have to respect
them aidus on the other hand a testimony
which is basically to commemorate
certain things so for example we we we
God created the world in six days resed
on seven therefore we rest on the
seventh that's why we have shabas God
took us out of Egypt that's where we
have the Passover God gave us Huts in
the desert so that's why we have the
suot fillers to to to to remind us God
took us out of Egypt that goes into the
category of AD so these mitz of M which
are logical and Aus which commemorate
something even
though that logic would dictate even if
the T wasn't
given
um so logic would dictate you should go
ahead and do it but on the other hand
when it know if the ter wasn't given we
would learn the laws of M from from from
from from animals but once the T gave us
the Commandments of the MIM and even
though it does make sense but
nevertheless when it comes to the
that if T didn't give us this these
statutes we wouldn't do them and why are
we doing them
because instructed us to do do so so
based on this it should have said M
which are logical first which are
testimonies and then statutes in
cabalistic terms it's called M you go
from one level to the next or go from
the highest
irrational
testimonies but the fact is in in the
way it's written in the verse it's like
seemingly it's like it's a funny order
it starts with which have reason
you're celebrating something which is a
statue no logic and then you're going
back to totally
logic what's what's the why is he using
this specific order
of okay so we had a lot a lot of
questions and now we're going to get
into it says we're going to understand
this based with an introduction
what the previous Ser explains in AIC
discourse with this uh title
of that he said on the first pesak when
he came to America to live and he and he
and and specifically pointing out when
this wise person asks what's his
question he's asking es you know the
fact that he says you and he doesn't say
us seemingly that's a wise person he's
almost like a wicked person he's saying
it's your mitzvah and he's not he's not
including himself in it and he adds in
theic
discourse even though it says
hasu he is calling God as God know he's
he is part of the Jewish people and it's
my God that means he's accepting the
Yoke of has upon himself so that is all
in regard to the general acceptance of
Hashem but it comes to the details of
AD he says you he's excluding himself
from it and seemingly from the
expression
discourse so what comes
out the issue is that he
says in other words not only do we need
to know why he says but also why why he
says and not he doesn't include himself
into it in other words because you can
God it think when he
says and he is included it's only about
the general idea of accepting the Yoke
of hasem but in reference to the detail
he's excluding
himself okay so the re explains and he
says as follows that when it comes to
doing a Mitzvah there's two components
of doing a Mitzvah on one hand every
Mitzvah commanded us a Mitzvah it's a
command from Hashem and that from that
perspective all the Mitzvah are alike
every Mitzvah commanded us to do so
that's one part of Mitzvah on the other
hand that the Mitzvah are different they
go into three different categories you
have the the testimonies you have
the which are the statutes irrational
laws and you have the rational
laws and these two components of again
the fact that it's a mitem and the fact
that there's differences they they um
they apply not only they apply also when
you observe the Mitzvah in other words
when you observe the Mitzvah there's two
type of intentions in Hebrew it's called
kavanot two type of of two types of
intentions
in other words what does that mean you
have the general intention I am going to
do mitah I'm doing coming to do mitah
and that by all the Mitzvah is equal
anytime you do any Mitzvah of the 613
Commandments 248 positive the 365
negative you right now what are you
doing you're doing the Mitzvah that's in
general more specific then you have the
Fulfillment of the Mitzvah of for
example a us a testimony which is a sign
or commemorating something so that's one
type of mitzvah or because it's a it's a
statue it's a decree or because it's
something which is which which makes
sense so therefore the wi son is
asking what does that mean since in all
the mitz They what's the common denom
command us to do the Mitzvah so why do
we have to get involved in differences
this is a testimony this is a statue
this is this does make sense ultimately
it's MIT was asking us to do so so
therefore he points out theic discourse
even after he
says God our God gave us gave us the
commandments so you might think that
when it comes to the specifics and the
differences in the midst of so to speak
he's trying to pull himself out of the
diff
differences so therefore know he's
trying to say listen I'm willing to do
any mitah details not me I just want to
do mitah so you might think he's like
excluding himself from the from the the
details and the nuances in the Mitzvah
so in order to take this away he's so
seemingly he should have said he should
have included himself to make it clear
no there's two parts of every Mitzvah
there's a general part of a Mitzvah
there's the details the specifics and
I'm part of both of them but the fact
that he says
Es as if he's trying to create a message
when it comes to doing the I'll do all
the I'm doing because told me to do
it that's that's for you
I I have no part of that of all these
differences so that's basically the
question why is why does he why doesn't
why does he
say says well understand this like way
want explain the discourse that the
three ideas of and he starts with
that first as we know we'll have to deal
with that later statue and rules they
apply in every Mitzvah that's powerful
in other words even the Mitzvah of a
statue even the Mitzvah which was
irrational even the Mish of mish which
is rational they also have a component
where it's also a
testimony how do how do we get that from
because the verse says specifically in
reference to
the that when all the MIT is some a
component of a testimony so you see that
which is the first one applies to
an but it also applies to
the same thing also in reference to
statutes that even the mitz which are
logical which means a testimony or a
mish that's going on the general Mitzvah
but but not on on on on the details of
it and basically why this detail why not
another detail because the answer is
because there's a every mitzah has a
component of hook into it it has a
component which is beyond logic and the
same thing also we referenc the logical
part even the Mito which are a testimony
even the ones that try statue above
above logic they all have a component of
logic into it so in other words before
we go forward what was saying every
Mitzvah has a component
of there's a there's a primary part of
the Mitzvah but every Mitzvah has each
component in it what does that mean he
says like
this because when it comes to revealing
hasem through doing a Mitzvah generally
speaking there's three there's there
there's three Revelations that take
place through do by doing a Mitzvah what
does that mean on one hand you have the
light of hem which gets enclothed in the
world which what do we call that in
cabala the light of God that comes into
the world that's more tangible and more
we can relate to it it's something which
show the light fits the vessels it's a
light that we can connect to so one one
type of mitzah what does that do it
brings a light into the world in a way
thatal we get it then you have a
different type of Light which is higher
than the world but has a connection to
the world what is that referring
to and then you have what we call the
essence of the infinite part ofm which
has no connection to the world so you
have the the part that comes in the
world the part that hars over but it's
connected to the world and then you have
the essence of has which really has no
connection to the world now the light
the light that fills in the world that's
something which we can comprehend we get
it so there how do we draw in that light
any time you do a Mitzvah which makes
sense to you you're bringing in mean you
your intellect comprehends it you're
bringing
in every time we accomplish do a Mitzvah
it made sense ah I got it what are you
bring into the world into your
life on the other
hand when it comes to the light
of you can't comprehend it or even say
you don't comprehend it in other words
because this that you're saying that
that this that that um you can't
comprehend it so what does that mean
you're basically nullifying the
understanding of it so how do you bring
it in you bring it in by not
understanding it by by by it's a rule by
it's a it's a statue in other words
you're basically saying even though I
don't understand it and I'm not going to
I'm not going to question myself and
when you do a Mitzvah you actually draw
in which means it's a light that that
connected to the world above the
world and then you have the essence of
the infinite part of hem which has no
connection to the world so you can say
you don't comprehend it it has no has no
connection with comprehension like he
brings a powerful teaching where it says
in t that someone says in reference to
Hashem um that you can't comprehend it
so that's like a white person saying
that you can't touch intellect anyone's
going to laugh what does intellect have
to do with
touching know when you say you don't
understand something that means it has
some kind of connection so you can say
you don't understand you have a
connection you saying you don't
understand it but when you're dealing
with intellect and and feel and and and
touch and feel it's total two different
things and every goes a step further he
says he could possibly add and the
parable of intellect and feel and
physically feeling something since both
of them so to speak are created by hasm
they're both limited there is a
connection intellect is finite and
feeling is finite however in the parable
know you can't say about hasem that you
can't you you can't comprehend it
obviously it's much deeper because we're
find hasm is infinite so therefore in
order to bring in the essence of the
infinite light you can't use a statue
because means a statue I just don't
comprehend it but there's some kind of
connection you don't
comprehend but when it comes to the
essence of theem you can't say you don't
comprehend it so how do you bring in the
essence of the INF that's because it's
the will and the command of
hem where does that apply to that that
how do we bring in that component where
it's basically the will of hem not stuff
that's logic that comes through Beyond
logic when a person does an adus one of
the like pabas
Etc in other words that all the mitv and
even the Mitzvah also have a in in it
because by doing a Mitzvah again you
have a certain mitzah are ex exclusively
AOS but even M like we learned before
there is an AIS component to it by doing
though any Mitzvah you draw in the
conceal part of the infinite part of hem
which is even higher
than and how do we see that because just
like for example what's an AIS anus is
like someone saying witness so when do
you say witness if something's in front
of you do you have to to create
testimony that's there it's there you
don't have to create
testimony something that's revealed you
don't have what what are you saying
testimony it's right
there and even something that's going to
be revealed you don't need a testimony
because it's going to be revealed so the
same thing apply spiritually that so the
light that fills the world that means
it's it's it's revealed we comprehend it
you you don't need
testimony which is hiir and coming into
the world eventually it's going to be
revealed because when we we meditate on
the fact that the light comes into the
world which is only array so we
understand there something which is even
higher and that that comes
from but what is that's
connected to we a part that we don't see
and we don't it's not going to be
revealed and that's the adus is
connected to the essence of the infinite
partem which is even higher than which
is totally concealed that's why you need
a that's why you need a testimony and
that's why all the MIT have a component
of Adas because through doing again
certain MIT were just totally aidus and
all the MIT would have an AIS component
into it we bring down the reveal the
essence of the infinite light of hem
Hebrew which is even higher than the
idea of
now to go now a step deeper says into
explaining the idea of adus the power of
adus over a statue more more
specifically in other words even though
when it comes to a statue something
which is irrational what are you drawing
down you're drawing down the will of hem
because it's not logic it's a will which
is above logic so what does it mean it
was saying that ad is even deeper and
stronger than
a stand a base when when he explains
inic discourse
that comes from the idea of something
which is carved in
and from the from the continuation way
he explains in the M about what a is he
say there two components to a there's
two components that a a statue has on
one
hand let's look at carving out on
high know like gives the example what's
the difference between when you carve
something out let's give a piece of wood
or a piece of paper and you carve
something out versus you write something
on it so in other words when you um when
you carve something out you're not
adding say you carve something on a
piece of paper you're not adding on the
paper or you're carving something out
from on a piece of wood you're not
carving out you're not you're not adding
anything to it you're taking from what
exists so so he explains in the
discourse that is the level of the
highest in other words what does that
mean this that as we know is Mak is like
the letters of that you carve out that
it's not
something an addition
to to it but it's actually revealing
what it
is in other words the revelation
of which you're revealing a finite thing
and not the essence so that's that's
something on top on top on top of the
item on the other hand the revelation of
the since it's infinite it's part of the
thing itself and it's not an additional
thing so in other words the first
component of is when you carve something
out versus you're writing when you're
writing on top of it you're carving out
it's from it just like for
example the light that comes in the
world this is the world and the light
that's on top of
it is part of the world just like CER is
part of it that's one component second
component in carving out that K comes
from from to to carve out in other words
that by doing the carving
out you what you carve something out of
a piece of wood or a piece of a piece
paper what are you doing you're creating
an empty an empty space and like the med
says when um if not for my bond of day
and night the the the the carving Out of
Heaven of Earth I wouldn't I I wouldn't
have placed in other words the fact that
I I I made a bond the the the Heaven and
the Earth with the world and he explains
what does that mean that I carved out
the Heaven and Earth that creating the
the acceptance the b in the world by
bringing down the idea of um
um a higher level
now so when you go ahead and you create
so two things saying one hand you're
you're you're you're you're you're
you're it's not something an addition
but on the other hand it's creating an
empty space and that creates the real
Bond but when you come to carving out
what happens is there you create a
change cuz the fact is before you had a
plain piece of wood or a plain piece of
paper and now it's a change it's not the
same as before or like for example you
carve out in in whether it's a piece of
wood a a piece of stone a piece of paper
beforehand it was simple and now all of
a sudden you there's empty space and you
even see letters and especially given an
example if you take a a stone that was
shining when you go ahead and you carve
out there's a change in the in in the
level of the of The Shining part because
the fact is the part you took out
doesn't shine anymore it's not
deer the part was taken out doesn't
Shine Anymore also besides the
fact that change that takes place in the
stone by
carving and as why because the carving
has do with the place which is now empty
there's something which is missing so
the actually The Carving out is actually
the opposite of the stone not only is it
missing where it's actually the opposite
the stone was Stone now you have an
emptiness say these two ideas
also apply in the parable of water or sa
it why because when there's a
downgrade of the light AOS didn't start
off a it was even higher when it came
that got downgrade now it's a so you
have the same change just like you have
a change in a stone that was carved out
that a it's not any more smooth and from
that space it doesn't give off light
like before and through that you have
now room that you can create the world
that comes
from and as we know the the existence of
the world which world comes from
concealment is the opposite of of of
revelation of light just like through
carving out to something
missing so in other words what do we see
when it comes to a hooka a statue its
spiritual significance yes what happens
is creating an empty space and actually
something's
missing and the same applies to a in
order for a to become a it had to it had
to go down a level and there's something
LIF this thing it's not as powerful as
before the same thing is when it comes
to
statues of a Mitzvah this that something
is called a statue means you carved it
out there two components in it in other
words what does that mean what does it
mean when hasem says it's a
statue and like kazal I'm giving you a
statue I'm making a decree and you can't
ask any questions means there two
components over here and know one is the
will of Hashem as a statue it's not the
way it's it's in a source it actually
came down to a level we we we where so
to speak that intellect doesn't
comprehend it you know let comprehend it
just like the change that took place in
a stone that when you cut something out
when you cut something out out it's not
there the same thing I want to
understand and I can't it's not de
that's one component and B that the
intellect that the will so to speak it
knocks it out it's up to the point that
the UNC comprehension is opposite of the
will and that that's what you have to
say I don't understand it even though
know you can ask questions because there
is room to ask
questions so you see that as great and
as powerful as H is and it's huge it's
coming from our savior but there's still
a component with there something lacking
so based on this will now will
understand the real power of Aid's
testimony in comparison to to statute
why is
that because the when it comes to a like
we just learned the will of the Mitzvah
is so to speak in a downgraded
level where it comes to a point where
intellect says I don't understand it
when it comes to on the other hand Aid
is a testimony it's the will of a
Mitzvah the way it's the way it's in hem
and it didn't come to a place where had
to get exed out and diminished and so on
and so forth so you see from here when
you understand the the the way cook
works you realize how much more powerful
is just like on high the difference
between AD which basically we said in
its source it coming straight from the
will of hm and the essence of hem and
already where it gets
downgraded and is even
lower in other words that when it comes
to which
is has to do with a light which is
connected to the world however when it
comes to MB the rules it's has connected
to the light which comes into the world
which is
called when we're dealing with the which
is dealing with the light which is above
the
world and when you're dealing with a us
to testimony that you're dealing that's
connected to the essence of the infinite
part of hem in Hebrew it's
called which has no connection to the
world and the same thing now applies
also in our spiritual service of hem
because when it comes
to
that's through our
intellect but the difference is when it
comes to the meditation is and the
reason the mits we understand we do like
we do this for this reason for that
reason Etc and also the meditation that
we have in
it and even when it comes to the Mitzvah
we have some kind of
meditation however the reasons for the
Mitzvah
is that's to we can't comprehend
it and when it comes to the meditation
of what does that mean that all the even
theah we know it's the will of what type
of will above logic and above the the
reasons of our compreh comprehension so
that's in terms of that means this is
some kind of connection whether we
understand we don't understand connected
to us however when it comes to Aid it's
already it's it's it's connected to the
person himself like the verse says you
the essence are are my testimony what
does that mean what does it mean atam
you you yourself are my testimony what
is testimony why is that how come we get
a testimony because since every single
Jewish person we all have a go Godly
soul and our soul is a part of God and
what is the source of our soul and the
essence of
hem and even higher than the source of T
MIT so therefore the essence of the
Jewish person is testimony for the
essence of Hashem
how does they get re revealed that gets
revealed through the part of the MIT
which are which are
testimony and therefore there you can
say that the main component of mitz is
which Mitzvah the cific ad Mitzvah and
the ad component of every Mitzvah which
means drawing in the essence of the
infinite part of
hm now when it comes to on the other
hand which are statues and those come
components in every Mitzvah which is
basically drawing in the light of the
and the light of why is that because the
ultimate intent of bringing
down which comes through the MIT the
goal is not should come down come down
get revealed and since the essence is
can't you can't reveal the essence to
different the way you reveal the essence
which comes down through that comes
through and which is through the brought
them in a revealed way so is playing so
beautifully and powerfully he's saying
like as follows the ultimate goal is to
connect to atos and how do you connect
to atmosph the essence of through Adis
every mitah has the Adis component but
when you connect that's amazing the goal
is to reveal it so how do you reveal it
so you reveal it through through the
part of the and you
reveal part of theah now see So based on
this now we see beautifully
that the order of the MIT
goes connecting to the essence of part
of
then
and because in the beginning you start
with you bring in the atmos the essence
of now you want to reveal it so you
reveal it
through which comes through the statue
of the Mitzvah and then you want it to
be internalized you bring it through
which comes in through
the so basically said you can
say that this is what what what what he
says in the beginning of discourse that
the the wise son
asks and
then what what's his question since
ultimately all the Mitzvah what are all
the Mitzvah it's commands from Hashem
it's all about's giving connecting to
the of so why are we dividing it up
and so this is also based on the
explanation like we explained the
discourse that the wise son is asking is
how do we draw down godliness through
doing a Mitzvah after M because the main
thing is action what we just learned wow
we're bringing in essence of
hem that's amazing powerful spiritual
stuff but what does it do with the
Practical physical Mitzvah in other
words this by doing a physical Mitzvah
we bring down godliness obviously we
know that because that's the will of
hasem but what he's asking is how that
how through the physical part of
drawing godliness in other words
revealing godliness seemingly is a
spiritual thing you're connecting to the
essence of hasem or what does that to do
with eating a what to do with with
putting on physical filling and that's
why he
says he doesn't say what are the
Mitzvah in other words because this that
through Mitzvah you bring down godliness
yes because a Mitzvah is the will of hem
it's the will of hem it's the command of
hem but this that we're dividing up mitz
into different categories this is an
and this is a and this is a now you
talking about the Revelation
part cuz we know that in when it comes
to you're bringing coming down a
concealed way you get connect the
essence of it's concealed and you bring
in a revealed way but
it's and it's an internal way so the why
son is asking what's the whole idea of
that God commanded command you to do in
other words the the Commandments that
God commanded us to do after m is
physical which means drawing on
godliness so if that's the case what
what's the connection is all about it's
all about revealed stuff so what do we
answer what do we answer the wi son we
were slaves to par in Egypt and God took
us out of Egypt and we came to Mountain
Toyo and in M Toyo which was
after the introduction of going into
Egypt and coming out of Egypt we receive
the power that through physical MIT we
can bring down these powerful things in
a revealed way now and and also that the
the the drawing down should be the mitah
should be in a revealed way and that's
why hasem commanded us to do all the and
it says we should have or forem so what
does have to do with it and explain
beautifully he says like this is in the
same letters of to see and this
obviously he's quoting from the from the
discour the prev previous rebba that the
drawing down through doing a physical
Mitzvah that God commanded us it's all
about it to be revealed to be seen and
it's revealed up until we literally can
see it now the main
revelation of drawing down through doing
a Mitzvah when is that going to happen
when are we going to see the effect of
doing a physical that's Mia because then
we're going to have Vision on the
highest level up to the point Euro which
is again we said the same letters of
seeing we're literally about to see
hasem we're going to see the essence of
the infinite part ofia comes and that's
why it says God commanded us to do the
statutes and it only says statutes why
does it
say because when a person does a Mitzvah
only because of
logic so what happens then is it stays
concealed but in order for it to become
revealed is so we do the Mitzvah even
the A and we have to do because the
command
of and that causes the mitz to be
revealed
now say one second after all this we
have to
understand who calls the child a a wise
son T says he's a wise son so in other
words he knows what what get
accomplished T he knows that Hashem gave
us the power by m that by doing a
Mitzvah physical Mitzvah we bring in all
the greatest Revelations so what's his
question you know we came to M gave us a
gift by doing a physical myal we bring
light into the world said you can
explain this based on what's explained
elsewhere that this that in the tah
which we received the m to we have the
whole history of
the seemingly that was only an
introduction to us receiving the Torah
so seeming the T should have started
with m t boom We're a nation today God's
giving here it starts why do we have the
whole history of the AR to Patriarchs
because even now after we receive the T
we have to still do the service just
like the other did it what does that
mean in other words command
us every single day the MIT should be
like new and more importantly every
single day we do Mitzvah should be a
brand new Mitzvah it's not only in
reference to the to the beauty and and
the specialness of learning to and
doing but but it's referring
to also literally when you're learning T
and you're doing the Mitzvah it has to
be a brand new learning to right now and
a brand new mitzah right now what does
that mean brand new because every single
day you have to go to the next level so
if you learned something yesterday and
you don't learn to say a step deeper and
you do a MIT you're not doing with an
extra level of excitement where the
where's it new because we know in
Judaism you have to constantly go climb
the ladder and not only climb the ladder
one WR after the other it has to be
infinite infinite climb climbing the
ladder up to the point that learning
toy and doing Mito that you did before
should be like no way in comparison to
where you're learning to doing mitah
today and that's why because you can't
compare to yesterday's learning to
yesterday doing MIT it's like Bru whoa
that that's old stuff there's new
learning tah new learning m a whole
different level and that's that's why
today even after we receive the TOA we
have to do the spiritual work just like
the other the Patriarchs did before M to
why because m t is every single day
every single day hasm is giving us T
like it says is giving you the to right
now and every single day it's a higher
level so therefore every single day
because we're getting a brand new T we
have to learn to the way the did it
which is a preparation for M for this
day so saying something very beautiful
and profound he say like this once God
gave us AA why are we talking about the
history of the and explains because you
have to have a Brand New Tah so
therefore and what was the introduction
to receiving the T was the other we the
obice did it so every single day we're
starting off like the always before then
we receive the and then we go to the
next level So based on this explains now
we can understand the question the wise
person
asked that God commanded you so to speak
after because the learning T and doing
mitz of the wise son is every day is
brand new he's not learning Torah the
old Torah he's learning new Torah so
there he's always on a level of before
Martin too but since he always wants to
get to a new level if you're there how
can you get to a new level so he's
always saying ah I'm still like by the I
want to receive this from new and that's
why he says God commanded you and you
referring to not us to to to hint to us
and remind us that he's still holding on
the level of before M ter not in
negative way in a positive way I'm
holding before M I still need to get to
Maro I still need to go to the next
level I'm not finished I'm not a
finished product I'm a I'm part in the
journey I'm a work in progress what the
Ben is saying
is God gave you to M I'm still a work in
progress I'm still like the other I'm
still trying to get to M I'm still
trying to go to the next level and he
gets to the next level and he's back to
and he keeps on going back and
Reinventing himself and Reb says he'd
like to connect this idea
with the question that the wise person
asks why when does he ask the question
he asks the night of PES by the S even
though the question of seemingly is
referring to all the mitz why why only
by and he explains beautifully because
what we just say he's always trying to
reinvent himself he wants to be like the
other he wants to he wants to be in the
level that he's getting ready to receive
the Torah and we know that pesak that's
when the Jewish people are born and
that's why the holiday pesak is
specifically connected to IDE of Clinic
education because when does education
start education starts when you're born
and that's the question with that's the
connection of the question between the
why son together with PES because this
what he asked what is the why is
that because since he's going from one
level to the next so he's holding on a
level before M and he has no connection
to anything just like a child when he's
born and he wants to go hey how do I go
to the how do I go connect to it
cuz if you don't ask what are the
that means you're there already if
you're there how you going to learn how
you reinvent yourself so even though he
knows what the is he knows the that
was yesterday's knowledge but now he's
going back and he's saying what is the
I want to reinvent myself I want to
be new I want to be a new
child and what do we tell this what do
we tell this wi son that wants to
constantly reinvent himself we tell them
yes you were slaves to par in Egypt and
God took you out of Egypt with a a
strong hand in other words that even
somebody that wants to reinvent
themselves and they consider themselves
in a level of a child as they were just
born and those includes two two types of
people one someone's literally a
child or the second level of someone
that's a wise son that he wants to be on
that level so he can constantly grow and
more than that even on someone that's on
a level of that he's still a slave to
par in Egypt that means he wasn't born
yet Hashem took him out and what does
that mean he took him out with a strong
hand it means he gave a tremendous
Revelation and literally Hashem himself
revealed himself and redeemed us which
what does that mean when took us out he
took us out literally like from
exponential levels one level to less
from the lowest level we were Slavs in
Egypt to the highest level hasem himself
revealed himself and never finish off he
says same thing happened to us just like
when the days we went out of Egypt we
saw tremendous Miracles we saw
Redemption not just a regular Redemption
off the charts from one level to the
next literally from the darkness of
Exile from the real dark of Exile and
especially the generation that we're in
of of we're sitting on the heels of msia
that the darkness is very very strong we
come right away to Revelation
where the the honor of is
revealed literally the flesh is going to
see and what's going to happen
is that that the the kingdom will be
to and when is that going to
happen should happen very very soon very
quickly in our days so here's another
very very powerful beautiful discourse
from the
re where we have to remember it's always
we have to remember that as great as we
are as much as we learned and much as we
pray much we do we have to ask ourselves
more which means we have to put
ourselves back and say how can we
reinvent ourselves and come to a whole
new level of revelation and uh the fact
is when we do that Hashem takes us out
and shows us the greatest levels like
the finishes off with the ultimate
revelation of the coming of mhia let's
hope and pray we do have the revelation
of coming mhia next class will
bees have a great and blessed week
