Tohu & Tikun… וישלח יעקב A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class onus. We're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb. The name of the discourse is called the Reb said this discourse that year was the 18th day of the month of in the year 39 years ago. So again the discourse is based on the verse sent messengers angel in front of him to the land of say the plains of Edim and the Reb brings that it's explained in the differentic discourses of the in the works of etc and in the in thatic discourses they explain in detail every single verse in the Torah portion verse after verse which is not necessarily so custom in and the discourse in general. However, inra it's not a wonder because that's in many in many many times they go through verse by verse but they explain over there that this what it says by that Yak sent angels messengers in front of him. What does that mean? that Yak sent to Asov. Not the way he's down here in this world, but the way he's in the source on high. What's that spiritually called? It's called Mak the one that hovers over of which is a very very high level. And that's why as was the he was the oldest one because he comes his source is Mak of because why? Because Yakov is already complete in his work the way it's going to be in the future when Mashiach comes even down here. [snorts] And we know that then by that time As is going to be transformed like it says and are as transformed. So therefore since Jacob already did his job and now he has to deal with Asov. So he sends angels in front of him. In other Yakov we know is which world he connect to the world of Tik and the source of Asov is an which is higher and before. So Yak sent messengers to again to as a source which is the which is called when when Yak is sending it's called feminine waters to theou and to also bring down this high level of toyu. So that's what it explains that's what's taking place and that's why if you give a look in the gifts that Yak sent as of what did he send him he sent him sacrifices which are connected to the world of and that's why he sent him um camels why because the fact is a camel is not a kosher animal it's not pure and how's he sending him that because in the sacrifices in the world of tyu you can have sacrifices from that are not pure and like it's explained in the discourses the all the different details of all the presents that Yakov sent as and because of this reason the gifts were live animals not like a like a regular sacrifice because the main thing is after you slaughter it that what what it gets consumed on the altar people eat and we know that um when it comes to slaughtering even a stranger can do it only after is when when the when the priest has to take over why is that why is that because the sacrifices of the world of tou It's the process is to totally different than the way the sacrifices work in the world of tikun. [snorts] That's why the angels came to Yak. They said we come we came to your brother to Asov and he's coming against you with 400 people. What does that mean spiritually? We're doing obviously a spiritual journey that the source of these 400 people is the four 400 people which came from the 400 shekels of silver that Aram gave to Ephraine. So when Abraham gates Ephraiming that was a very whole spiritual uh experience that was taking place and from these 400 people that were coming again to to Yakov are sources in the 400 KV shekel that that the Aram gave Ephraim and in Kabal it's called the 400 world of of and it's also basically the the 400um of is called actually which means something that can use in any currency. What's what's the connection spiritually? It's referring to Kesser because Keter is also called from the expression of which is basically the Mak of all the Kesser hovers over everything and the 400 worlds of is basically which means it's even higher than Kesser and from here came out obviously through the downgrade from this high level of 400 KF which is the world of TU higher than T came down you have 400 people that are coming against coming against Yakov thought. So it's on one end you can say one second this as of this holy guy tell you the 400 people tell you that's true in it source in it source he's amazing but the way as comes down into this world guess what he's coming against you what mean he's coming against he's coming to fight with you to wage war with you and the 400 people and according to Kabala practically down in this world they're called they're denim kashim they're very very harsh judgments which come from the 400 uh house courouses and that's why it says specifically that the angel said there are 400 people emoy with him what does it mean with him the way he's down here in this world so he has the 400 people against in the source it's all holy but down here emoy the way he's down here so as obviously is is is is is negative and the 400 people is also negative so what is the what what what is the advice so it says afterwards by yak so he went ahead and he split his camp yakov split camp into two parts and after and Yakov sent the two the uh send presence why because by splitting it two parts and sending presence that's how he was going to go ahead and transform as the way he's down here that needs to be transformed and not only that because also connected to as source in the world of tou and like to explain in the discourses the difference between the world of tou and the world of tick is in tou So the the the the spirit are divided into into two strands. However, in tick it's actually three like the seal. So I didn't tell you it's like two two two slots and and and and in tick it's basically three. And because he was transforming him, he sent basically two camps. And so therefore, even though that the way Asov's down here, he's coming against Yakov to fight with him and to wage war war with him. And like it says if if he comes and he'll wage war one side so the other one will be able to run away but the fact is the purpose of the war was not to lose on the contrary it's to tra create a transformation through tick that basically yak wanted a transform of and that's why he split into two camps because he wanted to create the the transformation through the two which is obviously connected to idea of and that's why the verse continues on and says when he hugged him when kissed him because even even the as down here he was able to hug him and kiss him because he was trying to create the transformation and not only that but it in the verse when he hugged him there's no dots on top of it versus like there's dots on top of it but there's no dots in it why because there's dots they say he doesn't didn't really hug him with with the with the proper intention but there's no dots on there was a real hug and according to all the opinions was a hug and and that's basically the hug that Jacob gave as to in order to transform him and even when it says afterwards when he kissed him which we know it has dots on it it's according to one one insight um why is the dots because he did kiss him with his whole heart but even according to the opinion that he didn't kiss him with his whole heart but it was the fact was was it was a kiss even though it wasn't his whole heart and what what was the idea the idea was to draw down the mock of which is in the source to hug it up to the point of kissing it. In other words, the idea is to draw down the lights of toyu into tick up to the point where Asov tells Yakave, let's go ahead and let's travel um until we come to uh to say until till we come to the time that we're going to have the ultimate gula and Yakov agreed. But the only thing was he said that the the children are weak and we have to wait. But the fact is Asa was ready to be transformed. Now this whole idea that Yako was already ready for the redemption and he thought that Asa was already transformed. So there is a there's a huge question we have there because the fact is we know that there was a there was there was a contract there was a there was a payment that had to be made. But Hashem said that the Jewish people are going to suffer for 400 years. And not only that, we know there were 70 nations in the world had to be transformed [snorts] up to the point that we know in the land of Egypt which is the source of all the exiles like we says all the all the kingdoms are called based on Egypt and what why they called Egypt in Hebrew is called Mitsim. Mitim comes from the word of m they pain and anguish to the Jew Jewish people and like and like it's brought down in the books of that mitim is the head and the source of all the exiles and that's why he says in reference to Mitim that the the the that it's going to the water is going to spread out in those four heads which is one is pishan which is called for the water of nos which is obviously mitim and and mitim basically is the is the first stream because that's the the sword the first source of of separation. So if that's the case that Mryiam's from the first when the water separates the first one and it's all about causing pain for the Jewish people and the the decree that we have to be slaves for 400 years. So how did Yakov think that he was ready? We're ready to redemption. Are you ready? We have 400 years. We have to deal with the exile. But the Reb explains to me like this. There's two types of nations in the world. There's one the way the nations of the world. Yes, it's divided into seven nations but there's another division. wasn't 70. It was actually 72 nations. And it's explained elsewhere that what how do you get the 72? So you have the 70 nations are regular. But then you have two nations which is the source of all the 70 nations. Who is the two nations as a source for all the 70? Yes and asov which one is called and one is gura. And that's why yakov thought maybe the redemption came. Why? Because since he went ahead and transformed Leven which is and he thought he transformed Esau which is Gura. So therefore everyone's transformed automatically. Yes we didn't get to the 70 but by getting to the first two in the source we're we're ready we're already we're already done. We're already ready to wrap it up now. And the continuation the verse says that he met the angel and the angel was wrestling with him. So Kazal tells something very very powerful that when they were wrestling when they were wrestling so the the earth that they were fighting on flew up until the kov god's throne and it's brought down the discourses that what does it mean that he was fighting that they were struggling that the when the earth went up till the kov god's throne that's called the avoid of chuva the avoid of repentance because we know that when a person does chuva through chuva you reach very very high even higher than the level of sadic. Why? Because the level of sadic is we call one step at a time. But chuva has the power. You can you can you can totally connect to the person with tremendous effort and without any order and because we know because the power of chuva is one second in one moment you can totally have trolls trans transformation and that's why he's ready for the redemption because [snorts] chuva repentance that's the revolutionary day what's going to make mashia comes and like we know it says Mashiach comes he's going to come to go ahead and and cause that that even righteous people are going to do chuva and from Here comes after is what it says that Shalom Yakob came in peace. That means he came in peace with everything until we come to the next para is the Yakov went ahead and he relaxed in the in his in the land of his of his parents with all the insights of it until we come to the very very very soon to the fulfillment of the promise that the we're to come to the come to the mountain of of of of to judge the the the and what's going to happen then the one that's going to be king is hem and when is that going to happen. It's going to happen with the redemption, the true redemption, the complete redemption very very soon, very very quickly literally in our time. So here we have a beautiful discourse in the Reb, a whole different perspective of what's taking place. The conflict between Yakov and Asov is is is on a on a very very high level even though it's playing out over here. And Yakov obviously is trying to create the full transformation, but the ultimate dur says we're going to have the transformation. and we're going to have the coming of Msiah. Let's hope it happens very quickly and the next class will be ines. Have a great and blessed week. Shabua to
