Welcome to our class onus. We're going
to be learning a beautiful discourse in
the Reb. The name of the discourse is
called
received the from Sinai. The Reb said
this discourse
that year was the 26th day of the month
of Nissan which was also the Shabbat
that blessed the month of
the year
42 years ago. So again the discourse is
based on the Mishna from ethics of our
fathers you know we learn now between
andot and some people learn it
throughout the summer as well. So the
Mishna says
received the from
Yeshua and he gave it over to Joshua
says we know the uh the question that
the previous asks onic discourse with
the same title Moshael of the yearin B
and the question he asked is why does it
say Moshael
Mosha receive the Turf in Sinai
seemingly it should have said that
Hashem gave the gave the Torah to
Mosheno's
to give the Torah. He's the receiver.
Hashem is giving. Mosher is receiving.
They're both correct. But why are we
focusing on the fact that Moshu received
it? Isn't it more important that Hashem
is the one that gave the Torah to
Mosher?
Also, he asked another question in the
same Mishna. He talks about
the way the Torah was received for and
then it went on from generation to
generation. And that's why he says
received the Torah from Sinai and gave
it over to Yeshua and then gave it over
to the to the elders and know it's
referring to the Messiah to giving over
and receiving the Torah of the whole um
oral law. So therefore since we're
dealing with the receiving of the Torah
and giving it over seeming this Mishna
should have been in the beginning of all
the Mishna to set the stage that we
receive the Mishn the Torah the the
written law and the oral law from
Hashem. And why do we put it in the
section which is called nikin j damages
and not only that but in even in the
section of damages it's at the end
and as we know
um it's the end which which an
introduction to which specific track
date the track of and we know that the
whole of is talking about um
behaviors and good behaviors why is it
specifically placed here so three parts
to the question. A why isn't the
beginning of the Mishna? Why
specifically and attractive ziken
damages? And then also why is it the
opening of the laws of of of proper
behavior and he explains in the
discourse in in the name of the
commentation of the Mishna that exactly
that's the point that specifically in
this trackctate the why people establish
this Mishna of
to teach us that all these mid all those
the are attributes and all the lessons
of this track the they We didn't make it
up on our own. It wasn't, you know, good
ideas, self-help books, you know,
advice, etc. Like we know there's a lot
of advice that you receive from your
parents and your teachers, etc. But even
these simple advice of how to behave and
how to be a better human being that all
came from Sina. That's what it says
simply in the Mishna. Now we know that
what Kazal tell us that Moshraenu was
the first redeemer and he's going to be
the last redeemer as well with the
coming of Msiach. So based on this you
can connect idea of mob the first
redeemer receiving the Tor from Sinai
and Mush being the first redeemer with
the revelation of the secrets of the
Torah that's going to take place in the
future through Messiah.
So to understand this, do you ever like
to give an introduction that in
reference to the Torah of the future of
Msiah comes, what does it say?
A new Torah is going to come out from
Hashem. And not only that, we are told
that the the the Torah that we have now
in this world is I'll say the word in
Hebrew, I'll translate heavily. It's
nothing compared to the Torah of
Mashiach in the future. And like it also
says in the medishelisa in other words
besides the fact that we know that the
of that we receive from the to that we
have now it's everlasting it is from
hashem it's everlasting and we know that
it says also the expression is that the
giving happened once it's not happening
again so besides the that we're also
going to have a new Torah and like the
like the verse says in the prophets
that there's going to be tremendous from
one level to next level of depth and
understanding inra and the med explains
says that what does it mean it's going
to be even greater it's going to be even
greater than Abraham and it's even going
to be greater than moenu and in another
place it says that it's going to be a
prophet that's going to be close to
moenu in other words what does that mean
practically that the revelation of which
is going to be in the future Mashiach
comes is going to be even higher
Now it's not it's not a wonder because
the fact there's a there's a powerful
teaching in the in reference to Rabaka
that God shows Moherenua
teaching Torah and Mo was sitting in the
audience where was the teacher and he
was listening and where was he sitting
he wasn't in the first row he wasn't in
the second the third he was sitting in
the eighth row where he was sitting and
mo felt had he suen the one to receive
the turf from Hashem is sitting
listening to in the eighth row up to the
point that what happened was someone
asked how do you know this and says it's
a
it's a law that we know from
and then calmed down he felt good
because even though he's sitting and
listening in the eighth row but he saw
the knows it knows everything and he's
still connected to Hashem through and
like it's explained
elsewhere the explanation explanation as
follows. Even though we know that
there's a concept,
everything that a person could sit and
study and come up with with new
revolutionary ideas in the everything
was already given to us by through Moshe
at Mount S. And what does that mean that
so what does it mean that it's new?
Because Mer received the general ideas
in Hebrew it's called the clum the
general ideas and the general of the
general ideas and from there from those
general points the rabbis and the
scholars were able to every single
generation through the 13 attributes
they able to learn things out or there's
another opinion of 32 attributes they
able they're able to go in depth into
the details and the same thing also in
reference to the Torah that we're going
to receive when Mashiach comes and like
it's we quoted the verse before it says
the yield of the yard room is going to
we're going to go very very deep and
very very high. What does that mean?
that the details are going to be new and
more than that that it's going to be at
the level where it's almost like a brand
new Tory and like the tell us in track
that it says
good should come who's who's the good
one coming
the receive he's going to receive good
what is that referring to make from so
which is good is going to receive the
which is good from Hashem which is good
and it's explained in many many places
there were quotes of Sharamuna and
others etc. Even though he says who's
the good that they're receiving that
they're receiving from Hashem, but it's
also referring to the revelation that's
going to be in the future which we're
going to receive the from from from
the Messiah. And that's that doesn't
mean
the good is going to come and receive
good because as we know is unspiritually
which is the internal part of bino and
he'll see from pmus which is the
internal part of kesser and what is he
going to receive? He's going to receive
the revelation which is going to come
through msiach. Now says one second we
have to understand what does that mean
that in the future we're going to have
this beautiful revelation of new Torah.
What do we need to Torah for? We have a
beautiful Torah. We have the prophets.
We have the writings. We have the
Mishna, the Talma, the the all the
commentaries. What do we what's this
idea of new Torah? He like to explain
this based on what's explained in aidic
discourse
of the year which was said
and that year with the same setup as the
when the rebic discourse and he explains
over there what's the whole idea of
is create is a a middleman between
hashem and the Jewish people and between
the infinite part where like it's called
inab and the worlds. So you have the
Jewish people, you have Hashem. What
creates the connection the Tory? What
creates the connection between the
worlds and the infinite? The Tyra. And
that's why it says the verse says
that you have the light which is like
like a a clothing a garment and
it's referring to because basically is
the inter intermediary. And that's
that's why in the future we're going to
have the revelation of a new Tory. What
does that mean? Because just like in the
future there's the world is going to be
upgraded. Now it says there's going to
be a new heaven and a new earth and the
same thing also there's going to be the
Jewish people are going to be elevated
and that and and and like it's explained
elsewhere the on the verse of government
it's going to be very high. It means
we're going to reach a level higher
higher than the the first man. And why?
Because is the letters of Adam and other
means it's even higher because it's
going to be a different way the letters
are going to set up. Adam is al the same
letters if you play with it. It's which
refers to off the charts. And so the
same thing also because the world's
going to be elevated and the people are
going to be elevated. basically if you
need to have an elevation in the Torah
because that's the one that creates that
the one that creates the union between
the infinite part of Hashem and um and
the Jewish people. Okay, but there is
one second. We still have to understand
because the fact is this that we're
going to go ahead and reveal this new
Tory so we can have a new connection
between the the world that's going to
change and the people that's going to
change etc. How are we receiving it?
We're seeing it through the Messiah
because the Messiah is going to reveal
to us. So what comes out from here? That
Msiah is also in a higher level. So what
does that mean? That Msiah is on a
higher level. She ever explains and he
says as follows. Besides the fact that
the Tory is an intermediary between
Hashem and the Jewish people like it
says clearly
the Jewish people
and the Tory and it's all one. We're one
connected one with the other. In other
words, the the bond of the Jewish people
and Hashem comes through the Tory.
So that's on one level that we're
connected through the Torah. But the
fact is in the Jewish people, we have
another higher level as well where we're
we're even higher than the Tory and a
certain way higher than Hashem where
they they're unified as one. And like
it's brought down in many many
commentaries that the thought of the
Jewish people came before everything
even before the Tory.
How do we know that? Because in the
Torah it says command the Jewish people,
speak to the Jewish people. So obviously
the Jewish people existed on some level
before the Tory. And that applies in all
levels of the Torah. And even on the
highest level of the Torah when we say
that Tyra and Hashem is one. Even when
we say Tyra and Hashem is one. The Tyra
is in the highest level. It's one with
Hashem. The Jewish people are higher
than that level of Tyra because it says
again command the Jewish people. Speak
to the Jewish people. So you see the
Jewish people are higher than the Tory
and as we know that the Jewish people
are called the sons of Hashem and not
only that they're like a a son a child
that even before he g he he he was given
birth because our source is connected
and I'll say it in Hebrew and not
literally in the essence of Hashem and
because this deep connection we have
with Hashem which is even higher in Tyra
we have the power to make an impact in
the Torah. We can learn Torah. We can
come up with revolutionary ideas because
a part of us which is sourced higher
than Torah and therefore the revelation
of Tory the new version of Tory in the
future is going to come specifically who
through the Messiah which because the
Messiah is part of the Jewish people
what does it mean he's part of the
Jewish people. said we know that every
person has an there's five levels of
the the highest part that is that that
is that that is that is the is the
general level of that soul is mashiach
and not only that it's even higher than
the level of because we know that even
in the global it's only from one of the
five names that the so soul is called
but the essence of the soul is even
higher than that and the fact is the the
Messiah is connected to the essence of
the soul which is higher than the names
of the soul and this revelation the
Jewish people when is that going to be
in the future Mashiach comes and from
here it's going to come into the into
the level of the new terra that's going
to come out now since this idea in other
words this power of the Jewish people
that's going to be revealed when in the
future Mashiach comes it's going to be
come into um the the Jewish people the
way they're a soul within a body so even
though it's going to be revealed is the
highest level of soul which is high in
any level of a soul but it's going to
get revealed into the the soul and the
body and the author explains in
other discourses that the the the uh
Jewish ruling of Allah is that the main
and complete reward of all the
revelations in the future is going to be
specifically when the souls within the
body and the same thing also what's
going to get drawn down
is the new Tory
down here in this physical world. Now we
know the famous teaching the alter says
in that all the revelations on the
future is dependent and our activity our
actions and our work in galot we create
the future and generally speaking in the
6,000 years the world exists and the
main work that we have to do is in
Hebrew it's called
trans working with the sparks of what
kind of sparks of the sparks of toyu
that fell in initially when Hashem
created the world when the when the
vessel shattered and that's what our
main work is to elevate those sparks.
Now where was the breakage and that no
no sparks the breakage was specifically
in the seven emotions of tou
the world of tou in the world of tick to
is much higher in the seven emotions of
tou and therefore what's our main work
is to transform the seven emotions which
that's why we have to conquer the seven
nations and like explained at at length
in another place that's the main work
that we have to elevate those
sparks in the seven nations of the
world. Now where do we have the power to
transform transform those sparks? So
that's when we draw into the essence of
our soul the and that's why it says in
the verse um that that's why the explain
on the verse that says
the spirit of God is hovering over the
water. What is what's what's that
spirit? So it says that's the spirit of
of the Messiah. Why? Because the spirit
of Messiah
was revealed when God created the world
and that gives us the power to do our
spiritual work that we have to do.
However, over there it says that the
spirit was on the face of the water
which means higher than the water and it
was concealed. But the revelation
happens through and that's why it says
received the because Mosher as we said
is the first redeemer and mo is going to
be the last redeemer and he received the
from Sinai and he brought it down into
the world and that's why it says
received the say Hashem gave it to him.
Hashem gave it to him and he received it
but the focus received it. Why? Because
the main idea is the receiving through
the receiver not focusing in the giver
because giver gives a gift. The question
how did we receive it and what does that
mean it you received it and you accept
it and you internalize in the on a
complete level and this by receiving it
this gives us the power to do all
transformation in the vessels of toyu
and that's why they established this
Mishna as an introduction to the
tractate of of which is an attractate of
um of nikin
which is in in the section of of nik of
jam damages damages. Why? Because what's
the idea of the the section of damages
that's all about transforming the sparks
of the sparks that fell in the in in in
fromu and and specifically it's in the
section of attracting a because that's
where we work on on our emotions because
that's our main work that we need to do
and that's why it says Mosher received
the Torah from Sinai and then gave it
over to Joshua and he gave it over to
the elders because we talk about the way
it goes flows a terra flows from one
generation
to the next because but everything was
given from Sinai because when we know
that we received it from Sinai we have
the power to go ahead and transform the
world and especially when you fulfill
what it says what the the instructed us
of the Talm to establish multiple
students and from there we will come to
what it says in the beginning of the
chapter and the in the completion of the
of of the of the previous chapter where
it says that on three things the world
stands stands if completion of this
chapter where it says three things the
world stands and the three thing the
world the world will will survive up to
the point we'll have the level of peace
which is the peace of everything and as
we and and the peace itself will be
complete the sha will be complete and
when is that going to happen when we
going to have the ultimate peace that's
going in the future Mashiah comes like
explained elsewhere else elsewhere at
length and when is that going to happen
with the coming of Mashiach the
righteous messiah and should happen viau
So here we have a beautiful beautiful
let's hope like says we'll have the real
the real peace and we'll have the coming
of Mashiach the next class will be your
have a great and blessed week shu
