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

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is the question of the week is what lesson can we learn from so again we're learning from the Z and the zor we're learning about the letter yud the letter yud hashem's name so we know the letter Y hashem's name so the yud is the letter and if you spell it out you have the yud and the V and the yud numerically is 10 and V and V is six and is four so you have another 10 so you see in the first letter of's name you have 20 also we know is connected to the idea of K which is the crown re says let's go even a step further and a step deeper when you take now that we have the numerical value of 20 which is basically two two t and you take two Ys and you put them together so you have the the yud the yud and each one has a DOT on top which creates a v a line and that's six so you have 26 which is the powerful name of hem take it a step further Reb says that the two Ys represent theut on high the higher level one and then you have yut the way it comes down into this world the lower level of yut the third idea theb says that if you take the two powerful names of hem V K and the second name Adonai so you have the beginning of is a and the end of ad is also yud they're both surround us with a yud from the beginning and and and to the end what what what is this whole spiritual idea there says as follows a famous story in the tal it says that in honor of so the they would bring sacrifices and they were the the the uh sons of Yehuda and they came from two different tribes one from bavid and the other ones from what's the difference between these two families so B their M Main Service in the temple was learning Torah they serve Torah they learned Torah on the other hand their main idea wasen they were busy doing bu business so you see that there's one way to serve Hashem not not not exclusively but one main way toar learn is learning T and the other way is to dedicate to hasm by by transforming the world where where they connect to on a spiritual level so learning to is connect to you bring bringing in powerful Godly Knight into the world transforming the world is connected to ad and as we said before the first letter is y the last letter of Adonai is y so you see that you really need to do both learning to and doing mitah transforming the world that will give you both y in the beginning that will give you the idea of so so the answer the question what lesson can we learn from is 20 we need both we need the first which is connect by learning and we need the second which connect to which is transforming the world so let's hope and pray we all learned a lot of in honor and do and transform the world and this way we'll be connected to what the Reb wants us to do to celebrate the idea of of thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to memory of made their souls be elevated by T studying in the memory for more information please see our website kabad sf.org have a great and blessed week sha to
