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
