What is G-Ds Blessing? ראה אנכי נותן לפניכם היום ברכה New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on we're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb the name of the discourse is called the said this discourse inab that year was the 27th day in the month of which is also Shabbat that bless the month of el in the year 44 years ago so again theic discourse is based on the verse where it says see that today I'm giving to you a blessing so the AL in his classical discourses in he brings what tell us that anytime it says today it's it's something which is Everlasting and forever in other words if hasem is saying give a look I'm giving to you today a blessing what type of blessing it is it's not just past it's Everlasting blessing hasm is giving an everlasting blessing so says one second we have to understand because it says I'm giving it to you and know hasem is giving the Jewish people this Everlasting blessing so the question is how is it possible for a human being of Flesh and Blood who's finite to receive this powerful Everlasting blessing also we have to understand what it says in front of you it should have said to you like what like it's the normal expression what he normally says what's this idea of says he explains as follows because we know it says in the verse spoke to you face to face what does that mean when we the Jewish people received the the the Torah from from God what go what God draw down to every single Jewish person was the level of yut K in a way upon Him face to face another words the essential part of God on high became the the internal part of every single Jewish person and that's the idea of the first commandment of the Ten Commandments after as introduction before this the Commandments which means God spoke which isim we know is judgment and like it says we we heard from gur like in reference to the uh the year of hak but after that introduction it says now in this verse in this verse we know it's whole the whole Torah is in there because the fact that the whole Torah is in the Ten Commandments and the whole ten Comm Ten Commandments are included in the first commandment so what is that first commandment saying IEM higher than all names even the name of the essence of the I who I am and it's not you can't Define it by by a name or by a sign um or anything the essence of Hashem is get going to is going to shine and be revealed into the Jewish people up to the point that that's going to be your God that's going to be a power so the power that we have comes directly from an the essence of and that's why say because the drawing down the into every single Jewish person comes through the power of which yes it's in a powerful essential name of hem it's the explicit name it's the unique name of hem but it comes into the internal part of our souls and through the internal part of hem that becomes the real power of the Jewish people so the essence of through becomes our real power now so what did we just learn that in M literally the essence of hasem through y became into the Jewish people that means every Jewish person has within them that's who that's that's what our spiritual power make makeup is and based on what's explained in the alter in the section called and he explains over there that this the shape and the structure of a letter represents how the energy flows so therefore obviously every one of the letters of Y he of's name we have those letters but we also have what it represents so what do these represent and he explains like this generally speaking speaking how do we serve hem the first thing you have to stop meditating like it says clearly in the Torah know hasem meditate think about hem and through that you be able to serve hem with a complete heart and especially by serving hem through prayer that in reference to prayer it says what is the work of the heart that's prayer and the fact is during prayer We Stand total Acceptance in front of hasem and we know the the Jewish is that when a person before you pray you have to meditate on the greatness of hasem now so the first idea is prayer in prayer there's two different levels two different levels of Prayer of of of prayer and meditation one is to think an a DOT which is which is which is basically in in in the letter of yud what's yud yud is a dot in other words even though the yud does have you know uh length and breadth Etc but nevertheless compared to all the all the letters compared to all the letters is just a DOT and not only that when you start writing you you you start writing it from the dot on top which is basically literally a DOT so what does that mean practically when you meditate about the essence of Hashem and you think for a moment about Hashem what happens when you think about Hashem and you really think of hem that causes you to be an all of AEM and to be in a level of total acceptance to be adop we're nothing think of hm we become a DOT a good dot we're part of the powerful hem and when you think about the the general idea of hem the idea of a DOT and you think about it with the with with with the the the initial thought in our intellect so you what affects you is to become Orem and to be be in acceptance you totally become accepting AEM and and this is what the verse says what does that mean Mas know the source of intellect know it's not even intellect yet it's not development of the details of of of of of the expansion of the intellect this is the idea which is only a source which is a do and when a person is in a level of acceptance which comes from as as means strength power and the fact that we're very very strong and we're committed um to learning T and doing MIT and doing what we're supposed to do and not doing what we're supposed to to so we see from here with the first idea first letter is yud the meditation that we're just adopt total acceptance that will give us a real strength and power to go to connect to hhm and do what hm wants the second way is to start meditating on the the length and the breath all the details which is already the second letter of hm's name the ha and the hay we know has three lines the right the left and and and on on top and know after you meditate on the yud which is just like just the dot you have to stop meditating in all the details and that's called the dot in the whole in the whole chamber which is basically the idea of the yud and the hey that we have so again so so far we learned the yud which is the dot just thinking about the fact we come from the essence of hem and we totally accept hey already is more the expansion of all the details now we're going to go over to the second part of hashem's name the V what does the V mean practically so V is like a line which means drawing down from high to high down to low and we know that the way a letter is shaped that has to do the way it flows what does that mean practically that it's referring to practically learning to but not just to learn to just to to connect intellectually but to know what to do because we know the ultimate reason why the debate whether Talma is great or action is greater and the answer is that tal is greater because it brings you to action which means drawing it down below that's Point number one of the V another idea of the V with v is also besides fact it's a line draws down numerically it's six and the author explains Ines that when a person learns T you transform and you refine the details of something which is pure something which is which is okay and something which is kosher and the Opposites so you have to M and koser um pure okay and and and kosher and the Opposites which is opposite of those three so you have total of six and what does that mean practically of Transforming Our emotions that they should also come down in reality like we know it says that the heart goes to all over the places and that's also in the level what of six so that's the V drawing it down what's the last hay last hay is action because after you learn you have to do and as we we mentioned already mentioned before but the whole purose of learning is to do the action and know and also from the heart it should come down into into into reality like the heart goes to all different limbs of the body and all the different 248 limbs which is the complete person which basically um is the the small the the small world that we have okay so in other words so every one of us to recap is y k the Y is the the initial meditation total acceptance the ha is already the details V is drawing it down and then the LA the last he is the action so says this is all complete when we had a temple because what happened in times of the temple the the was revealed in the in the temple and like it among them and not only in the temple but amongst every single person and and we had the Revelation upon Him upon Him face to face and that affected when hasem is revealed on the body and also the animal soul and through that in the whole world through the fact we know in the temple you had the windows which went out and from there the light went out to the whole world so that's all the powerful energy existed in the times of the temple but unfortunately in times of Exile what do kazal tell us that the name of hm is not complete what does that mean the name ofm is not complete because when we're in Exile means we was taken out of our in Hebrew it's called U our land is called Artu in other words what does that mean we redeemed from from erit erit also means the Will from The W from wanting to do the will of hem as we we we we were taken out from our natural instinct to want to do the will ofm and that causes unfortunately the sin we were taken out of our land and that's why he says the name of hem is not complete because the letters V and he is disconnected from y what does that mean practically and there explains beautifully in other words even though a person can meditate and you can think about the greatness of Hashem and you can be totally accepting to hem like in the letter yud and you can also think about all the details that hasm created like in the letter he and you understand 100% that hasm created the world maintains the world but it doesn't Inspire us to literally follow through with the with the V by learning T and and and and and and and and having off forem and also do and doing mitv which is with the last hey what's the reason because unfortunately in galut you have the the the hide which covers up on the internal part of our our heart and which means basically there a body before it transformed it's actually called like like the like the the the hi the hide of of of a snake and that covers up on the internal part of a heart and what happens is then the V which is again the learning to and the doing mitah is disconnected from our meditation so we all know what's right but the problem is it's not connected to the reality of what we need to do so what do we do then that's what the Torah says you have to circumcise the the the thick skin of of your heart in other words that even in times of of of Exile the internal part of our heart is complete the internal part is complete and like it says clearly hash says I am sleeping in Exile but my my my uh I'm sleeping I'm sleeping an exile my heart is open to hem and not only open to in a way of face to face but nevertheless again we have the the the the thick skin that covers over it and therefore you have to go ahead and and you have to circumcise the skin you have to take it off and by doing that we bring that that when we do our part hem will will help us he'll he'll help do circumcise our heart as well what does that mean practically so the brings in the alter right in the there's two types of skins there's the thick skin and there's the the thin skin and like practically when it comes to circumcision you have to go ahead and take off the the thin skin as well and like for example someone did a circumcision they took off the thick skin and they take off the The Thin one you didn't have circum circumcision but in order to take off the thick skin we can do but in order to take off the thin skin that you need AEM but it comes comes after we do our part of taking off the of of the thick skin what does that mean practically how do we do that said that's the whole idea of chuva when return to hem and in Chu there's two different levels return to me that means we're returning to and then I'm going to return to you and that's why it says hasem is going to go ahead and circumcise our heart and it says in that verse your heart the and the heart so if you take s the first letter of s is an Al the first letter of L is is a first the first letter of the S is a and the first letter of is a l which spells out the month of el we know the month of L is all about the month of returning to hem and these two ideas that you have both components we're turning to hem and then hm turns to us in other words we do the the first part is our part and then Hashem returns to us and we go ahead and do Tru return to Hashem with the real power and connecting as we know that the Jewish people are really really one and that's why he says which means we really have we we hm really loves us we love hem and up to the point that our avoid of returning to Hashem and hasem returning to us is actually a part of one word El why because again we're really connected to Hashem and by doing trua hasem returns to us and we're really going back to our source and that's why when a person does truth when we return to Hashem so not only do you take away the concealment but more than that we actually come to the place which it's called the more light comes from the darkness or more wisdom comes from from the silliness and like it says clearly in a place where balua is someone that returns to Hashem even the greatest can stand can stand there and like we all know that the real power of which comes after and even greater than the month of Nissan because when person does chuva you bring in the greatest light and even higher than the light of theik that represented by the month of Nissan and that's why it says look I'm giving to you today the blessing and the curse the blessing is you're going to listen what does it mean you're going to listen that you for sure going to listen why you going to listen because because hm believes that we're all righteous people but unfortunately because of we can get into a jam where God we don't listen but we don't listen it's not because hem doesn't want us to listen but on the contrary it's to bring us to the level of returning to a much higher level like it says that everything Hashem does is for us and even for for a wicked person in other words the goal is that we should return from from our sins and we should take the negative and turn it into day and turn it into light and that's the idea of what if you don't listen means that you're transforming it into something positive now the fact is we all know it's not the proper way to go and say I'm going to sin and then I'm going to return to hem and that's why he says not you should go not listen you should go in a case where a person didn't listen because the the regular approach is yeah listen to what hasm tells you but unfortunately if you didn't and you didn't do you didn't do what you're supposed to you can do chuva and like it says clearly nobody is gets rejected anyone can return to Hashem and it's actually brought down in Jewish law in the laws of but every single person has the power to return to hem and what happens is when we return to Hashem the curses get transformed and it actually goes to the enemies and the go that hate hasem but for the Jewish people it says Hashem transforms them the curse into a blessing whym loves us and and therefore what's drawn down to us is the level of AEM the love for hem Which is higher than the regular regular there and then there loving us because reg the regular is referring to the T and loves you it's referring to the T the way they're in the way in part of hem it's where it's called in cabal the hidden T that when when there when when that sadic does his part and he prays and studies does Mitzvah you draw down regular blessings what is blessing you're drawing down the energy like someone draws down in a Vineyard and as you bring it from one world to the next World from the concealed world to the revealed world and know it's for the T but when a person repents you draw down from the place of Hashem is transforming the negative to the positive because hem loves us from the place of the tph of the of the created himself like the r says that when someone returns to hasem and he uses these words means it's it's loved and it's tremendous pleasure in front of hem as if you never sinned and on the contrary when someone returns to Hashem you cry to hasm answers you right away like it says clearly before you even call answers you and that's why there was a trend this unfortunate downgrade of Exile to come to the upgrade of of of returning to hasem because as we know when the Jewish people do chuva when we repent right away we get redeemed and we get redeemed with the true and complete Redemption through mashiach as we know mashiah is going to inspire everyone to return to Hashem mhia is going Inspire everyone to beua and then we're going to have both qualities the quality of a sadic and the quality of someone that returns to Hashem and let him come and redeem us and take us to the land of Israel so again another beautiful powerful cic discourse in the rebba about the way we are so connected to hash and all the unfortunate there challenges in life it's only to to bring us to do chuva to reach a much greater and higher level like and he says we should have the coming of Mia we're all going to return to and we'll be Ines and our next class will be in is have a great and blessed week shaba to
