Zohar Parsha Behar. Lubavitcher Rebbe & Rebbe’s Father Kabbalist. By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is par bah the question of the week is what does it mean to be free so this week's Torah portion we learn about someone becoming a slave and they have to work for six years and the seventh year they go out free so the Z says that when someone's a slave you're exempt from doing mitzvot so the Reb's father explains what's the idea that when someone is a slave they they they can't they don't have the obligation to do mitv and when they become free they do the mitzvot his father explains and he says as follows six years is referring to the six emotions when someone is run by his emotions how can you be connected to AEM what is freedom what does it mean when you go free so let's look at the word is spelled Shin so the Reb's father explains if you count the sphs from the bottom from the way up so what is the E sphere the E sphere is beina so eight is Bina pay is 80 which is Bina to the 10 power of 10 so the first two letters in is Bina Shin is is is is 300 but you count on on the on on a small scale it's three and you count from the highest it's the third sphere again Bina what is y y is connected to so what is it mean free the re father explains beautifully freedom is when you're operating with your and your the Godless when you think before you behave that is real Freedom so while you're a slave which means you're operating in your emotions that's that that's slavery what does it mean Freedom when you're operating based on your intellect re says one second but the fact is we know that a servant has to do the mitzvos what does it mean a servant's exempt from mitzvot the example like like putting on a yoke every explains beautifully says like this no a servant has to do the mitz for sure we're talking about the component of MIT where you accept upon yourself the Yoke of hem when a person's a slave it means you have the Yoke of your master so you can't have the Yoke of Hashem so what he means doesn't mean you're exempt from technically doing the M mitz you have to do but the mit's component of accepting the Yoke as someone that's that has a SL that's a Slave cannot go ahead and accept upon himself the Yoke of hem so in other words to answer the question what is real Freedom real freedom is when you operate with v and when you meditate and you connect to hem on a high level of intellect and your emotions follow and you have full connection to so this week's class is dedicated to the memory of May the souls be elevated by Torah was studying in the memory for more information please see our website kw.org have a great and blessed week shab to
