Welcome to our class onus. We're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb. The name of theidic discourse is called bacious boro. The rebba said thisidic discourse is shabas paras. That year there was actually twoidic forbrin. It was the first that year was also the 24th day of the month of tre which is also the shabas that blessed the month of in the year 42 years ago. So again the discourse is based on the verse where it says in the beginning created this is the heaven and the earth theb says that he brings from the who's the thirdb onic discourse on this verse which is also based on theic discourse from the alterb what many different commentaries in the bring and it's also hinted in rashi commentary as well that when it says races It's referring to what? On the Torah itself. So based on that when it says boracious in the beginning got Hashem created. So in other words that the creation of the world was through the Torah since ra means the Torah. So the creation of the world was through the Torah and like we know that the Zoro famous teaching in the zora the zora says that Hashem looked into the Tory and from the Tory he used that to create the world. Now just like it's a creation of the world the same thing also applies in our spiritual service of serving God like Rashi says boracious why does it say berious letter bas is two for two beginnings one is for the Torah and the other one's for the Jewish people in other words our spiritual work is in a way of the beginning that where God created the heaven and the earth and like that taught us which is brought down like by his father-in-law the previous reba that beracious in the beginning that the beginning of the spiritual work in serving God is is from borrow borrow means to reveal and like that's the way it's explained as well in the Talmud in track that revealing Elohim godliness [clears throat] in other words our goal is to reveal the ultimate intent the internal intent and the essential intent of Shem Elohim because Elohim is concealment and so our job is to go ahead and reveal the concealment So, so obviously from here it's understood that even in the spiritual work of every one of us is isim in other words our job is to reveal godliness how do we reveal godliness through the Torah like it says look in like we quoted before from the zor god looked in the Torah to create the world and like the zora goes on to explain at length that god looked into the Torah created the Torah and the zora says barnash the Jewish people we look in the Torah and we keep the world alive. So, Hashem looked into the Torah to create the world, we look into the Tyra to keep the world alive. So, however, we have to understand since Hashem, God looked in the Torah to create the world. In other words, how did God how did God go ahead and create the world? By looking in the Torah. So, the so you so you had the possibility that creation of the world comes from just looking in the Tory. And like the zora say, the zora says that in reference to the tora, God says it should be light. So in other words, God looked into that world and guess what? Through looking in that word, that's how that's how the light was created. So if that's the case, if just by looking in the word that created the light and created the world, why does God have to say the words? And we know the world was created with 10 utterances. God said there should be light and all the other utterances as well as the 32 time 32 times the name is mentioned in the para because the fact as we know the toyra existed 2,000 years before the world was created. So if that's the case it would have been enough the creation of the world just from looking at the Torah and why do you why do you have to actually say the words however they were explains as follows that the heaven and the earth and all the celestial beings that exist the way they are in the Torah and the way they're created from the Tyra it's different from the heaven and the earth and everything that was created on a literal sense in other words you have the spiritual heaven and earth and everything else and then you have the physical. So in order that should come down we should have a a heaven and a earth the way it says in the Torah but it should come down in a physical way in a materialistic way. It's not enough to look in the Tyra but you actually have to say it and that that makes it a a physical reality. In other words, even though the way the heaven and the earth and everything else exists in the Torah, that is its real existence. And that's really where the power come from. Comes from like the Ram says that from the I'll say in Hebrew I'll translate from the true existence everything else comes to being. In other words, that just like everything exists in the true existence. Obviously it exists there but it exists on a spiritual level on a very very high level but then you have to have all the details and all the specific etc. But the ultimate goal is that the world should be created in the physical world on the lowest levels which mean physical and materialistic because we should have a creation of a of of a yesesh of an existence and something that comes into being and the materialistic world like we have it right now with all its limitations. So therefore since we need the physical world with all the limitations it's not enough the way the way the world exists in the Tyra and it's not enough to have the like the zora says that in this verse borrow you have all the 10 spheres in there but you need that all the 10 spheres should come down into utterances which which correspond to the 10 and through the utterances that's how you create the physical materialistic world the way it is now just like it's in reference to creation That's not enough the the spiritual worlds but you need the physical worlds and and and it's not enough the way it's in the but you have to literally have it where it comes down to the materialistic world. The same thing also is in the intent of creation. So we have to go ahead and reveal the intent of the name Elohim which is concealment like we mentioned before from the the teaching of so we have to go ahead and reveal the intent of the concealment um the way it comes down into this physical world. In other words, the name Elohim, we have it on a spiritual level and a very very high spiritual level like we say hashem who elohim. So even though it's alkim concealment but it's really on the spiritual level is connected utk and that exists on all the levels and as we know that what's the concealment part of god that's the protection and the shell of and like it says clearly you have the son and you have its protection the same thing goes v is the infinite part and al kim is the protector and that exists on all the spiritual lovers as well but to reveal the intent of shame on the highest levels. That's not the ultimate purpose. But the ultimate purpose is to reveal the intent of sheim in this physical world. Up to the point we know the numerical value is nature. And as you have the nature of the physical world because specifically in the creation of this materialistic world that comes something for nothing. That's the ultimate purpose because the intent is that specifically in this world where the yeseshan the physical creation exists over there in this physical world we should go ahead and create um and and transform the materialistic pearl in into the spiritual level up to the point that the yeseshra the materialistic existence we become one with the yeshiti with one hashem that's explained at length in the explanations of the the zo and the same thing also applies in our spiritual work of serving God. Even though the source of all our spiritual work in this world is in the Tory and like the famous teaching of the previous Reb that before you go ahead and do something you want to look the way it's in the Torah you want to look the way it's in the Jewish law Jewish law and there just like God looked into the Torah to create to the world. saying also we have to look into the Torah but the ultimate intent is that afterwards it should come down to the materialistic coarse world and everything we should do in the materialistic world should be lash in the name in in the name of God in heaven and all our action should be on the even on the physical level should be obviously connected to the spiritual level and that's why it says Hashem chose us from all the nations and Hashem chose us from all the nations of the world because the ultimate choosing is in the physical body and the materialistic body which is compared to any body of any anyone in the world like Valter explains in Tanya and know what's the ultimate intent the choosing in the part that's compared to everything else and in that itself we should experience that we're elevated our physical body is elevated from all the all the nations of the world and like the famous expression in the zor that God had a desire to have for himself. Or the another expression um a dwelling place in the physical world to make a a a a a uh um a set um place in the physical world and it should be a place where Hashem dwells in in a consistent way and an internal way and and this is what this was God's desire desire and like it says God wants he wants us to fulfill that desire. Now this whole idea that's the essence of the of the Torah portion braces and and more specific in a revealed way the first word the first word vious and from here like we just explained here we come to from we finish we go to the and like it says inra and the says in that verse that that knows just like the days of the world is going to be like the days of What does that mean spiritually? that when we go ahead and do our work to make a dwelling place for Hashem down in this world, we merit that it's going to be like the days of the world and like the like the the the like all the years of of before and it's just like in the times of no and the same thing also before the sin and because we know before the sin the world is created complete and the contrary in the in the future we're going to have the revelation of a per which is even higher than the way the world is created complete Because you had the world's created complete then you had the whole the whole avoid that we go through in this world but then the completion go gets on a higher level. How do we do that? By making the dwelling place Hashem down in this world and as we know God wants to see our specific action. In other words, God has a a desire in two parts. One is that his dwelling place should be down in this physical world and the dwelling place should be made not through him but through us physically creating a dwelling place for Hashem. And Reb finishes off and he says it should be the will of Hashem that this should happen in the physical level because at the because literally that in physical that's the main most important pet peace even though this shot the simple piece of that's the goal and you have the rememas the hints and the [clears throat] kalytics and the secrets but the ultimate goal is that from all the secrets it's go from the highest level should go down to the dash and then it should go to the halytics then it should go on to to different secrets and then it should come down into the physical world then the materialistic world because what does God desire? Our physical hands, our physical activity in this physical world like says like we explained before with the what the Reb explains his soul on high that today the main work of the intellect and the heart and the intent is concealed. But what's our main work today? Action ma po doing the mitzvah doing the physical activity. That's the main thing and should be filled on a literal level that just like in the previous generations should we should have we should we should go and return to Zion with the coming of Messiah. He should come and redeem us and he will take us standing upright and should happen beh very very soon very quick and literally and this like finished off so beautifully should happen on a literal level not on a spiritual level we have a short but powerful discourse of the Reb about our spiritual work in this physical world to elevate the world and so pray we do our job we'll have the coming of Msiah and next class will be inesh have a great and best great and blessed
