welcome to this week's class into this
we're going to be learning aesthetic
discourse from the rabba the name of the
acidic discourse is called the ishma
Israel the rabbi said this classific
discourse from sharpest Israel and that
year was the 18th day of the month of
shwat in the year tough Shin mem hey 38
years ago so again the city discourse is
based on the opening verse in this
week's Torah portion where it says
that yesterday heard who was Israel the
priest of ninja and the father-in-law of
moisture
a scholarship also like Kim lemoy
Charlize everything that God did
to moisturbate on the Jewish people
and what did he what did he do Hashem is
trying that God took the Jewish people
out of Egypt
and Rashi says what did what what did uh
what what did you say here because why
did he come what did he come for surashi
says that he heard the fact that God
split the seed
so the question is asked the verse says
clearly that yesterday came and um
he heard everything that some did and
the verse says he took him out of Egypt
so the question is what's the connection
why specifically splitting in the sea
took them out why is Russia specifically
pointing out the part that he explicitly
also over here we're talking about the
the praise of Israel
in other words he left his hometown and
he came to the desert to hear Terror
from oyster obeno so if that's the case
we're praising Israel so why referring
to him as coyan median the priest of
median I mean it was a priest mean he
was a he was a priest for idolatry if
he's coming to hear Toyota to connect to
moisture and the Jewish people who are
referring to the fact that he was he was
an idol worshiper
more than that as we know it says uh it
doesn't say afterwards he was a Priests
of Indian again which is referring to
idolatry what does it say right
afterwards
that he was the father of law of Moses
of moisture of angel in other words what
was his quality that he was Christ and
Malaysia he was actually even higher
than my surveeno because we know that
it's that there's an obligation on on a
a person to respect his father-in-law
and especially like Rashi says that yes
I received tremendous honor when he came
why because moisture anyone out to greet
him
and then iron went out to greet him not
the van Avia went out to greet him and
whoever saw a moisture winner going iron
going nothing everyone came to honor
yesterday so you see the quality of
History they came to honor him so if
that's the case again brings back the
same question why is it saying
that he was a priest referring to the
idea of idolatry
also there ever since it's known the
question in the acidic discourse of the
rubberishab in the classical so the
discourse called toughration bays in the
year television base another what does
it say it says that everything that
elkim God did to moisture abenu and the
Jewish people
and what did he do that he took the
Jewish people out of Egypt so the
question is why is it divided into two
parts in other words what what did he do
for moisture obeying the Jewish he took
them out of Egypt but here it says what
he did to moisturbating the Jewish
people and took him out of Egypt
observance two different things and the
question why is he split into two parts
Rashi actually says as we said before
what yes right here he heard the
splitting of the sea in other words so
by Ishmael Israel it's a it's a whole
different idea another so it says if you
break it down there's three components
that take place here one is by ishma
Israel yes I heard something and again
what do you hear like Rashi says the
splitting of the sea and then everything
that Hashem did to moisha and to the
Jewish people that's the second thing
and the third thing that he took him out
of Egypt so the question is what is
these three components again hearing
about the splitting of the sea Maisha
and the Jewish people and the fact that
the Jewish people left Egypt
it's another question also another
question he asks what it says in the zor
on the parshaw that Martin Torah the
giving of the turret took place because
yesterday acknowledged
God in other words when yesterday said
now I know
him God is greater than all the gods so
the Zaria says
the the praise of God and the highest
levels and in the lowest levels and
yesterday praise God then God gave yahuh
rights that's when God gave the Torah so
the question is what is it about
Israel's acknowledging God that through
that God gave the Torah
whoever goes on to ask another question
in other words
since we're saying that what that is a
powerful connection between Israeli and
receiving the Torah so we have to
introduce an idea to explain that these
powerful Revolution that took place in
Mountain Tyrone
that there's something unique in God
giving the terror that be that because
of that you needed to have beforehand
yesterday acknowledging it
in other words what are we saying we're
saying is obviously yesterday have to
acknowledge God and then God gave the
turtle so there must be something
um unique about that and what is that
and here's one second seemingly
the fact is as follows what is special
about God giving it to her seemingly
Torah already existed in the world
before God gave the turtle why because
the fact is the general idea of Terror
has a connection to the world like it
says clearly in the murderous
that the Torah existed 2 000 years
before the world was created so since
we're saying that yeah it existed 2000
year before the world was created so
obviously the terrorize a connection to
the world so it has some kind of
connection
and especially it says Alpine shot in
2000 years so it knows it was it was
before the world in a in a set amount of
time so obviously even though it was 2
000 years but it has some kind of
connection to the world so you see
already Torah existed and Tara had
already relationship with the world
before God gave the term also
besides the fact
that before God created the world he the
Torah existed
besides the fact that existed before
that we just said but also people learn
Torah even before we received the
tournaments how many people are entire
room like we like it's brought down and
picked the burlesor that the idea of
learning toy Road
existed already by Anna Maria the first
man that existed and mother mauritian
gave over the teaching of Torah and the
whole um uh
um the chronological order of the of the
of the of the time Etc and the the
months that was already given over
through Oliver
and he gave it over to Future
Generations so Terror a existed before
the world was created people learned
Torah and more specifically that the
Jewish people we know learned Tai wrote
like the talmud says clearly besides we
just mentioned foreign
all the three Patriarchs and not only
that but it was never a time that the
Jewish people didn't learn terribly even
in Egypt before we received the Telly
they learned Terror and as we know that
amram
also learned tyro because he was
commanded with he received extra
Commandments and moisturabeno also
learned Torah not only as a son of Abram
amram learned about his father moisture
in Ontario but moisture and then only
learned her as a son of amram but he was
the leader of the Jewish people
and
as we know most remaining learned before
the terror was given not only
represented for the 70 years but even
for the first 80 years because the fact
is for full 80 years because the fact
that was good more moisture when it was
80 years old so if that's the case the
question is what's this novel idea of
God's giving a terror the terror already
existed that everyone learn to tell you
so what's the whole idea this novel idea
of Tyra
and obviously this novel idea that took
place when God gave it to turn around
Sinai so an introduction to this new
level of Terror that was given we needed
the introduction of that yesterday
acknowledged how great God Is So now
there was going to explain to each
other's follows
services like this before God gave the
turret Mount Sinai yes Torah existed and
they learned Torah but before God gave
the Torah at Mount Sinai there was a
decree what was the degree that El yonim
which refers to a high spiritual levels
did not go down into this materialistic
world and this physical world did not
get it was not connected to the high
spiritual worlds so in other words there
was godliness and there was materialism
and there was no there was no
relationship godliness is godliness and
materialism is materialism what happened
at Mountain tiger what unique happened
in McEntire was that that decree where
spiritual and materialism don't connect
Martin Terry Olsen created the fusion
between godliness and physicality
now why is that what what was the change
that took place if they learned her
before I'm just saying to her afterwards
so what's the what took place I mean
before heaven was Heaven Earth was Earth
an actor was also as a connection well
before they learned the same story they
learned
I've never explained something very very
powerful
that before God gave the Torah Mount
Sinai what we had was yeah we learned
tyro
and the Torah existed but what part of
the Torah the revealed part of the
terror in Hebrews called the reveal part
of the terror and like we know what's
Tyra called Terror Tyra brings light
into your life tire is all about about
light revelation
what happened the mountain Toyota was
the novel idea was that the essence
which is much higher a much deeper in
Revelation or and the quotes a verse
from the prophets yashas
that God caused a Darkness Darkness
should be his veil in other words up to
the point what was revealed that
mountain Tyra atmussenburg
so in other words things like this
before modern Terror yes people learned
Terror and we had Torah but what part of
her the reveal part of the Torah the
part terrorism is a light unto the world
however when Mountain Terror happened
there was a break all of a sudden the
essence of the terror got revealed the
essence of God got revealed and because
of that because the essence revealed
that broke the barrier between
Revelation and concealment what does
that mean the response of this
so I was going to explain this based on
what we learned in the previous Clinic
discourses of busting legani and the
four genres which was before before this
discourse and explains as follows
when God created the world
so before God created the world it was
the infinite God
in order to create the world and all the
different worlds attila's Bree at Sierra
Asia the spirit in each World Etc which
is called under the package of say their
his faustless the way the order of the
way things flowed down from one world to
the next World with SeaWorld within the
world Etc so the beginning of everything
the first thing that had to happen was
there had to be something which was
called The Simpson there have to be
something that's called the concealment
not only that
even the light before the symptom before
the concealment so in order to that
light that existed before the symptom
the idea of light it was also at some so
there's essentially even higher than
that
not only that let's take a step deeper a
step further
even the first thing after
the essence of God so to speak
like if we're able to call God the
essence of God
so that first level we we shifted out
from the essence of God there's also a
Simpson So as I was mentioning here
there's three level of
there's a symptom right after the
essence of God there's the Tim Thomas
um
before the infinite light and then
there's the Simpson before God decided
to create all the Saint Louis so you see
this idea of something which is called
attempts on a concealment
and and that's why when it's brought
down in kazal it says that before God
created the world who knows the
concealment what existed who the essence
of God in God's name
in other words in order that it should
be who usually God in the name of God
also have to be a Tsum Tsum so you see
for any Revelation to take place that
goes after the essence of God you have
to have a symptom
now
but what happened was so think about it
so we're living in this world it's all
after many many
however the river says by Martin Torah
when God gave the Torah
through the Torah the terror itself was
given
and and the turret was given to us in
this world we received the light of
before the dim sum until the level of
yasha's History
so in other words you have many to some
to create the materials to the world but
at but through when God gave us a Torah
it pierced it all and we go back to the
essence of God the essence of God comes
down to this world not through the veil
of attention and we received that
through Torah
and that's why the river says when we
say we say in the prayers it says
which means that the light goes away
because of the darkness the darkness
goes away from the light and what does
that mean practically so generally the
way it's explained is that
the the light of the infinite part of
God
goes out of the way through the
tombstone
um
what are the other cops again generally
speaking is referring to the infinite
light yeah
the symptom then you have the order that
comes through it which is the urakov
that's the general light the general
explanation but here there was no even a
step further
a different translation different
Insight that guy is that we draw down
the light
from the darkness itself
the darkness is behind like the level of
History so in other words that the light
that we received through my entire comes
from the from before the tombstone
the light of the terror comes from
before even the high circle now
So based on this introduction powerful
deep introduction
that the novel a deal of Modern Tire is
that we're revealing in this world from
the level of which is called this
powerful level which is called yasha's
history so now we'll understand why that
in order to have this powerful
Revelation which is taking place in that
entire world from the light before the
symptom you have to have the
acknowledgment of the Israel of active
now I know that God is the greatest god
why is that because whoever brings a
famous verse where it says
and the King Solomon says very easy and
E and I saw Yes yes
that there is a
added
power in wisdom that comes from
silliness just like that the the power
in light that comes from a place of
Darkness so just like when you have
light it's like but when you have
darkness and you have a light you
appreciate the light much more say you
also you have wisdom okay it's wisdom
but when you have silliness then you
have wisdom the wisdom is much greater
so what does that mean so it's brought
down it's explained that when we say
that there's a power of light that comes
from the darkness it means doesn't it
means that when when darkness is
transformed then the light is much
stronger the same thing also when we say
that the wisdom that comes from from
silliness that specifically from
silliness and and the opposite so to
speak of wisdom the khakma is much
greater in other words
what does that mean so we're saying is
that there's there's a power in
intellect and wisdom that comes from
silliness and stupidity it doesn't mean
that literally that wisdom is much more
greater than silliness and obviously
what are you trying to tell me wisdom is
more powerful than Salinas but what does
it mean that it means that this
yesterday night oh yeah where's just
like the yesterday when you have the
when the transformed into our darkness
is transformed to light the light is
much greater the same thing also in the
syphilis when the silliness when is
transformed into in in into wisdom it's
a much greater it's a much greater
wisdom
in other words
what does that mean practically we're
referring to circles silliness compared
to what the wisdom of wisdom not just
intellectual wisdom the wisdom of
kadusha intellectual wisdom and holy
wisdom and like it's brought down the
discords that what we say cyclos
silliness what are we referring to we're
not system being silly and stupid we're
referring to Chinese it is wisdom is
it's external wisdom and why why is it
called syllis why is it called silly
because the fact is there's a major
difference between
you have wisdom one is coming from a
holy place and one is coming from the
opposite of Holiness what's the
difference between wisdom from Holiness
of the opposite of Holiness and the
answer is that wisdom from Holiness is
is is
um
intertwined and in sync with idea Bittle
and those of you want to know if this
wisdom is is is from the holy Place see
if it has humility in it so any wisdom
that has humility you know what's coming
from a holy place on the other hand
wisdom from the opposite of holiness
from the world of cleopo it's all about
arrogance
so since wisdom
of the opposite of Holiness brings and
carries with it the weight of arrogance
so obviously that's why it's called
silly and that's why it's called
silliness because it's wisdom brilliant
wisdom but you're blowing it with your
arrogance so when you have wisdom of
clipper which is of arrogance and you're
able to transform it and bring out
wisdom of Holiness wisdom of humility
that is the real power so when a person
when we go ahead and when we transform
again we originally translates simple as
silliness but now you explain
kabbalistic what does it mean it's
referring to the intellect of clipper
then you have the real benefit of you
have
transformed but that's a whole different
level
based on this he explains beautifully
this is the powerful acknowledgment that
Israel who is a big idolatrist said
after yadanti now I know that Hashem is
the real thing why because as we know
yesterday served every single idolatry
which is what does that mean practically
in the world's words of Kabbalah when uh
yesterday survey Donald Trump
powerful wisdom but if Clipper the
opposite of Holiness but when Israel who
represented
made the acknowledgment that
so then you have the power of
and the line of the show which comes
from a place of Cleveland
So based on this River explains that's
why when Israel came and made this
statement after your deity through that
you're able to have the tremendous
revelation of mountain Terror as we said
was coming from the highest places why
we what is the light of Martin Terror as
we learned before it comes from the
place of
yahshusrae comes from way before the
terms of the constantly Hashem and
that's the whole idea of yes
how was that revealed that how is that
revealed that gets revealed when you
transform the darkness and yesterday
basically created that environment
and this is the whole idea we say yes
you have the greater amount of light
that comes from darkness in other words
the greater amount of light that comes
specifically from the darkness is higher
than the regular light
the level of what yes history
when when the light comes from the
darkness itself what does that mean the
darkness can transform into light then
what happens is the light is much more
powerful as the light comes from a place
of Darkness Darkness
so now we'll understand why it says
yesterday is coming so we say coyan he's
the priest of Midian and he was the
father-in-law of Maisha why because in
these two components in other words that
he was the priest of minion
here we see the idea of yesterday
that the power of light that comes from
darkness and the power of intellect and
wisdom that comes from clepo that gets
transformed to Holiness why is that
because what does it mean he gives her
was the priest of the gun and he was the
father-in-law of moisturbanon
referring to us we just learned
wisdom of this of the opposite of
kadusha which is idea practically is
arrogance
what's what's what what's the connection
with median and arrogance because mid
Young comes from the word of mother in
America all about fighting and
quarreling which is the ultimate of
arrogance
and that got transformed to the highest
level what is the highest level he
became the father of moisturbanum and um
so to speak went down when he went down
a level he went down to the level and
notice he went down to the level and he
went to the level of my terminal and
Christ and Russia means that he affected
that it was able to go down a notch on
onto the level of moisture Reno and
through that you were able to have
Martin Terror and those what's what what
happened toy roll monetary happened that
I'll joinim went to alamanto the high
levels came down to this world as we
know moisture abeno is a um
it creates a a connection in Hebrews he
creates a connection between the Jewish
people and Hashem and between the Jewish
people and Torah
however Maisha on his own couldn't have
done it why because moistures are very
very high level and as it says
why was he called moisturabeno because
he was taken out from the water
and
in order for moisture to come down to
reality to come down to this world he
needed yesterday to bring him down to
the swirl So Yesterday
um so the verse says
and knows he's able to transform the
darkness into light
he brought down moisture into reality
and like the medbur says clearly that
when when when yesterday was still in
Midian and it was the place of the
opposite of Holiness over there he he
denounced Souls idolatry he nullified it
how did that happen it actually happened
through moisturbanon so in other words
in order for
to moisturing to to affect an Israel so
obviously moisture didn't have to have
Grace and he had to come down from this
high level he had to come down to
reality and afterwards he was able to
affect yesterday was able to affect the
moisture and that he should be the
connection between Hashem and between
the Jewish people and Torah
so in those
he was originally the priest of mignon
when he got transformed he was able to
become
just like the the power of light that
comes from darkness and into like a
comes from Salinas So based on this
whoever explains that's why Rashi says
we originally asked the question is what
did he hear he heard the splitting of
the sea what's the connection with
splitting in the sea in other words
yesterday's acknowledgment
came that Hashem came because of the
splitting asleep what's the connection
of splitting a seed what's the spiritual
significance of Kris yamsov
so remember explains the spiritual
significance of Korea sound surveys
breaking all the times of him all those
concealments concealment after
concealment
is splitting the sea you're splitting
all the concealments
in other words even though generally
speaking we know that the yamsov is
referring to which Sphero in the sphere
that's referring to the sphere of
malachas the lower sphere the last of
all the levels and that's why it's
called from the end it's the last era
when nebulence that's on one level yamsa
is referring to the left it's like the
last serve of malachas but nevertheless
we know where it's brought down and it
says that by by Chris Johnson when God
split the sea what happened was all the
waters and the all the waters in the
world got split so in other words what
does that mean it means that all levels
have got split up to the point that all
the time all the concealments got split
and anything that was blocking godliness
got got split
even something which is higher than the
symptom
and even the level higher than the
infinite light Which is higher but it
has no limits
so in other words what do you hear here
Chris Johnson he heard the splitting of
all the time so that caused in yesterday
itself and we said what is yesterday
intellect of the opposite of Holiness
which is the ultimate of arrogance which
conceals So Yesterday himself was able
to be transformed into into light in
into light
so that's the connection between
creosomes now
all these details that's mentioned in
reference and yesterday hearing so what
does it say about as we said this many
levels yesterday years which we already
learned before it's referring to going
out of your splitting of the sea
um uh uh what God did to moisturate on
the Jewish people he took us out of
Egypt so he explains the next discourse
that's actually referring to four levels
what are the four levels the level of
Eros which is light the level of Calum
which is vessel the level of garments
and the level of a Hollis
Chambers in other words the splitting of
the sea when it says the first thing by
Ishmael Israeli heard what do you hear
the splitting of sea that is referring
to what the light which was higher than
the vessels
whatever and then the second thing is
whatever God did to moisture in the
Jewish people that's the way it came in
for the light came into the vessels and
this one he heard that God took the
Jewish people out of Egypt is referring
to the garments and all the different
chambers Etc so he's saying the four
different components that spoken in the
verse is referring to the four levels of
the light The Vessel the garments and
the chambers so what does that mean
practically so when it says
he caused my friend to go down the level
of agreement before everything God did
to motion the Jewish people they took us
out of Egypt and others what does that
mean practically when there was the
revelation of the splitting of the sea
which means all the terms of him all the
concealments got
we're totally broken
up to the point when God broke and God
it got drawn down to the level so it got
drawn down in the level of the vessels
in the garments and the chambers Etc and
through that yesterday was transformed
from being the priest of million to
becoming
like just like we said that yesterday
the power of Light which comes from the
darkness and this caused afterwards this
this breaking call and the Revelation
caused the powerful revelation of Martin
Torah where we have in modern territory
the level of the revelation of yah says
Christ's history and that level came
down to this world so you see the power
of monetary that's happened through
yesterday was that the powerful powerful
light which is before the tombstone got
pierced through and is revealed
specifically in the world through Terror
but his introduction through Israel says
we know the terrorists Everlasting
as we know you have to learn Terry every
day so Terry's Everlasting and Terry
applies every single day I think the
ultimate writings in reference to the
teaching of the khazal that says just
like when God gave the Torah we receive
this year of the Restless of his ear we
were in all of Hashem we were trembling
so obviously today we also need to feel
the same experience now but the fact is
today it's in a concealed way however
mashiach comes in the future it's going
to be real and it's gonna be revealed in
a way that we can comprehend it
understand it and as a prophet says
clearly when mashiach comes
Hashem that the honor of Hashem is being
revealed
of every one of us are going to see the
God is speaking when is that going to
happen the river says
and the Redemption the true Redemption
the complete resemption through
mashiachenu and most importantly
finishes off it should happen
to happen when in in the medium of being
happy and gladness of our heart so again
another beautiful powerful discourse of
the river that shows us and teaches us
the power of Toyo and by learning until
we connect to the most powerful light of
Joshua's history obviously it happened
through the doors history but let's hope
as Robert says and we learned Torah we
connect to this powerful level we'll all
Merit to the greatest revelation of
mashiach with joy and happiness and
God's willing our next class will be in
yerushalayim here have a great and
blessed week
