Welcome to our class on we're going to
be learning a beautiful discourse in the
rebba the name of the discourse is
called
V the Reb said this discourse
on which was the 20th day of the month
of in the
year which is exactly 37 years ago so
again the cic discourse is based on the
verse in this week's Torah portion that
says
he planted an Asel which will soon learn
what an Asel actually means in the city
of
Bea and he called there in the name of
God God world and we'll soon explain
what that means as well so Reb says he
brings from theic discourse of the Reb
rashab the fifth rebba who is
celebrating his birthday in in cic
discourse on this verse in the
year we merited our generation merited
that it was printed and in honor of this
shabas disc 37 years ago and like
besides the theic discourse and the book
that was printed but other many other
books on on mysticism were printed that
our generation merited that we have
access to so much cic philosophy and re
says you can say possibly their
explanation is why was it printed now
because since in this time before msia
comes we have to have something which is
called the Wellsprings of mysticism has
to be spread all over the
world to the furthest part of the world
so therefore you need to have always
something new something something to
inspire us a new revelation a new a new
teaching that was that that was
discovered and like it's just brought
down theic discourses of the re rashab
again who is his birthday that the king
um it releases all his powerful
Treasures that he never even used and he
gives it to the people in the war to go
ahead and to use it to fight the war so
the same thing also is a physical War
but there's a spiritual war and in order
to have powerful ammunition the king
releases powerful teaching so we can go
ahead and be successful in our war so he
brings over there as follows on this
verse it says in the Z he brings from
the Z and he says in the Z itself it's
written in the extra pages for the first
part over it says like this I'll quote
from
the come and
look 10 plantings even though it says he
planted an Asel which is singular but
the zo says it's 10 PL and later he'll
explain you how do you go from one to 10
so what does the zor say he planted 10
plantings what's the idea of 10 and he
brings from the mishna like the mishna
says that if you have a field and you
have a 10 10 plantings of 10 trees
you're allowed to you're allowed to go
ahead and and and and work the field in
in in to protect the 10 trees when we're
talking about eras right before the the
seventh year the sabatical Year up until
so you see that when it says a planting
a mission refers to the idea of 10
now what are these plantings the Z
says these are the 10 plantings that God
planted and the continues on to
say and he's planting into that place
which is called the evening before this
before the seventh what does that mean
practically so he explains what are the
10 PL plantings so the zor says these 10
plantings is referring to the T
[Applause]
wrot the 10 spheres of the world of AOS
so the 10 plantings is referring to the
10 spheres of
AAS and the second part where the Z
says that that he unites to a place is
called right before and know what does
that mean you're drawing in and you're
connecting these powerful 10 spheres
ofus with malus and as we know the
sphere of malus is the seventh one why
because you count the theh the emotional
sper starting
from so the idea is to unite the 10
total 10 spheres the 10 plantings what
with Mal with the last sphere and they
explains over there at length in that's
discourse that the seventh year which is
called the shita the year is just like
Shabbat the seventh year is connected to
the same idea of Shabbat and like it's
brought down the medis the medas says
and the brings it in discourse and he
said over there
that anytime the seven seven is a very
special number in other words in years
it's a special
number in days it's a special number we
know Shabbat is a special number so
therefore just like the every week
Shabbat is connected to which sphere the
sphere of Mal you know Sunday's Monday's
gr chabas is malus so the same thing
also when it comes to years that the the
seventh year is also connected to
malus however so even though this the
seventh day of the week Shabbat and the
seventh year the jub the shmita year is
is is they're both connected to Mal but
there's a difference what's the
difference on Shabbat
what happens is there's an elevation of
all the worlds get
elevated and therefore because all the
worlds got elevated so there's an
elevation so therefore we don't do any
work in
Shabbat however when it C we don't do
any work in Shabbat however when it
comes to the seventh year the only work
that we don't do is working the Earth we
don't we don't spend the whole year like
Shabbat it's just you know reference to
the Earth it's Shabbat but not in terms
of everything else that we do on Shabbat
in other words why is that because over
there it's only an elevation up on the
sphere of malus and and the Earth is
basically malus Earth is connected to
the sphere of malas so in other words so
what so based on this what does he
explain that the 10 plantings which is
Con connected to the 10 spher which is
connected to the to the seven to the
with the seventh year which what know
what does it mean practically it means
drawing in the 10 Sphero of
okay this is what this is why the verse
says so what does it mean he planted an
as in so as is referring to just learned
the 10 plantings which is basically 10
spheres
of why what's the connection because an
AEL what's an Asel literally on the
simple understanding of Asel there's
other commentaries which to learn in a
minute but the simple understanding of
an Asel is a tree he planted tree and
like the like the Evan Ezra one
commentary says that's straight clearly
that's referring to a tree and other
commentary say a a tree so what what is
the connection between a tree and the
and the and the T SP because the the
tree is we know something that grows
growth in in the in the world of the
specifically the small face which
is so that is the the the SP which are
the ones that grow in now we know that
every sphere is connected to all the
Spheres know for example has all 10
within them gur has all time within them
so every one of these the six spheres of
growth which is connect to a tree have
within it all the 10 spheres and that's
why he
says and but we then we have a simple
which we mentioned before digresses a
second he says one second if we're
saying is he planted a tree and a tree
is referring to what the six emotional
spheres which in there have all 10 SP so
how come it says as singular it should
he should have said plural he planted
many many trees but the reason why he
says it's very powerful the reason why
he says a one because what are we
referring to the the the the seven
spheres and the 10 spheres in the world
ofil and we know in the world of ailos
it's the world of
unity and the world of unity even though
it's seven and it's 10 but they're all
unified and that's why he uses the term
Asel so Asel is referring to the 10
spheres of AO but Asel because there
because it's in the world ofus it's all
UNIF that's why the Torah uses the
expression of
singular and what's where did he plant
the 10 spheres which are UniFi of AAS he
planted into malas in other words
because the goal is to draw down the
10id into
malus now every goes on to say as
follows besides the simple understanding
like we just learned that AEL is a tree
so it's also brought down in different
commentaries and Rashi brings it down as
well that there's two other insights
what AEL is one says what's an Asel it's
a Paris it's an orchard what's an
orchard that is different there's
multiple different type of of fruit
there and that's one opinion the other
opinion it's a it's a it's it's a hotel
for guests and in the hotel that you
have guest yeah you sure you have a lot
of fruit you got to treat the grass well
so again so one insight is like we
learned before the simple Insight is a
tree now two more insights that Rashi
brings one is that what it's fruit and
the second Insight that it's a hotel
that has fruit in there as well now
according to the to to the first Insight
in Rashi that he says what's what's
what's an as it's it's an orchard so in
the commentaries they also explain it's
also the 10 different plantings which is
connect to the idea of the 10 10 spheres
of but according to the second inside
that t a hotel
so he explains an discourse in the
year which is also one of the teachings
of the re's birthday is and also in the
discourse in the year Etc which which
which which where the two discourses are
connected they're based to one each
other and he explains over there
something very powerful he says like
this AEL is made up of three letters Al
Shin l so a has what we call a Russ
tavas which means we take every one of
these three letters they spell out a
world word so Al stands for a the AL
stands for eating the shin stands for
for drinking and the L stands for Lea to
escort someone someone comes to your
house we know according to Jewish law
the biggest Mitzvah of inviting someone
to your house when they leave you walk
them out you escort them out in other
words so you see this in ASA which is
know what did he plant he planted a
place for people to eat a place for
people to drink and then he escorted
them out he gave him he he he he greeted
them when they
left so it goes into two categories
there's eating and drinking which we
know when you eat and you drink that's
something you internalize you ate
something you drank it you internalize
it and then there's a scorting sewing so
it's not something they internalize but
it gives them a a good feeling in world
of cabala is called Mak it surrounds the
person gives them like a you know a
spiritual emotional blanket when they
leave in other words even though you're
going outside but you escort them and
know it gives them a a a mck of
experience and like he brings from the
from the verse that
says that when we go we want hasem to be
our shadow our protector in other words
Hashem goes with us hasem escorts us and
Hashem watches over over us so that's
what it's theic discourse eating
drinking it's something we internalize
and Leia the escorting that's exter
that's the external protection what does
that mean practically and as our service
of hasem so eating and drinking is
referring to our spiritual service of
learning to we internalize and doing
them it's that we
internalize and what is es the escorting
that is the the the the spiritual
service of creating spiritual energy
around us and goes on to say he'd like
to add that even in here of the Mak part
there's there's two levels just like
there's a to MIT the two ways of
internalizing the same thing also with
the creating the spiritual protection
around there's two ways why
because a shell is made of three letters
is and is eating and drinking but the L
actually could mean one of two things
either it could mean lamid could mean l
which is sleeping
and what that's connected to the second
Insight which says that it was a home a
place for people to come and eat so a
house is a place that you sleep in and
so that sleeping is not something you
internalize that protects you around you
but nevertheless it's a protection of a
house so you're protected so to speak in
the house however the second Insight in
the lamid not Lena for sleeping so you
have the protection from the house means
laa when you escort someone out of the
house so it's even a greater protection
cuz not only escorting you at your home
but actually toak protects you around
you even when you go outside like the
verse hasem is our shadow has is our
protector one even when we go out of the
house and this is basically a Mak that
you need when you go out to the world in
other words there there's different
types of protections we need we need to
have that we need to have eat and we
have to drink and we have to study Torah
and do mitos that internal that that
creates an internal connection but then
you have the M the the the external
protection of a home and then you need
even a greater external protection when
you go out of the
house now in that the discourse in the
year T he finishes off and he also
brings another opinion from the med Raba
in reference to the idea of AEL based on
what it says in the prophet Samuel in
the first book of Samuel close to the
end and he brings over there verses
follows so it
says King was
sitting he was sitting underneath the
Asel and again we know already before
Asel literally means a tree it means an
orchard Etc but he was sitting in the
asela on high in other words what does
Roma mean spiritually so it's on high so
we know from the SP what's a high SP K
in K you have the higher part AR the
lower part so a
means is referring
to which is very very high and like he
brings the verse where it
says and like like the the like explain
oror it's referring to the level of So
based on that explains he'd like to
explain now that we introduce a new idea
that we're not only getting to 10
spheres of but also going to he'd like
to explain the connection
between and the second part of the verse
what does it say in the second part of
verse that over there he called in the
name of God kale God world so it's
brought down the tal the tal says this
that it says
RAR that that the the it's on a very
very high the horn what is that
referring to that verse it's referring
to the kingdom of King David what's the
connection with Roma County and King and
King David because we know that King
David's kingdom is Everlasting why is it
Everlasting because of Karen Karen what
does mean Karen that he was anoint that
he was he was
anointed he was anointed and because he
was anointed that's why that's why it's
going to last forever so that so Bas so
so you see that that R is connected to a
very high level and it's also connected
idea something which last forever and
that's why it says he called over there
in the name of God kale God Of The World
God world and like it's explained in
that discourse of T that besides the
fact that that that God is the king of
the world literally and besides the fact
that it doesn't say kale god of the
world because it said God Of The World
Is God and there's the world and there's
the god of the world it doesn't say that
it says K means god world what does that
mean God world that God and world is all
one it's not like God is the god of the
world no the world then God is all one
God and World God and world is the same
thing not not a disconnect up to the
point of AO there's nothing in this
world other than God
or other than God there is nothing that
exist So based on that he explains that
you can say this it says kale god of the
world that the God and the world is all
one it's something which is not
something that for a shortlived time but
it's actually Everlasting and that's
connected to the idea of the kingdom of
King Day which lasts forever so in other
words he explains just like we say that
that that the asell is referring to the
high level of which is connected to King
David that lasts forever the same thing
also K the fact that God and the world
is one that is an everlasting
Bond Bas he Recaps and he says that's
why the verse
says he planted an Asel in and and he
called over in the name of God
god of the world in other words we do
our spiritual work of learning T and
doing mitv and doing all the the
creating the good and godly great energy
we will
come very very soon to the completion
the ultimate of doing MIT like it says
that it's going to
be we're not going to do the Mitzvah
because of this reason but that reason
but we're going to do it because that's
the
r
and what will happen then is when we'll
do our spiritual work what will happen
is all those that have passed on will
wake up and including them will be the
the the the person that was celebrating
his the re rashab and also the the
leader of Our Generation the pre the pre
previous Reby and all the all the
righteous people and especially the aote
Abraham Isaac and Jacob and we know we
called the aot three Abraham Isaac and
Jacob and we're all going to
come with the Redemption the true
condtion complete Redemption and it's
going to
happen very very soon very very quickly
through David the anointed Messiah so
here you have another beautiful powerful
cic discourse explains the whole idea of
AEL all different insights into AEL but
theic Insight of AEL it's referring to
the 10 levels of and even higher and the
goal is to bring it down into Mal we do
that by learning by doing and and and
creating Godly energy in this world like
says as we do our will Merit for the
ultimate revelation of mhia and God
willing our next class will be
Ines have a great and blessed week
sh
