Zohar Parsha Lech Lecha The Lubavitcher Rebbe & The Rebbe Father Kabbalist. Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week we're learning on from The Zo and the question of the week is how high can one grow so we're going to quote from the Z based on a verse in this week's Torah portion where it speaks about Abraham and it says and he went on to his journeys so says as follows he went to his journeys from the south me the amino sth referring from the right side which is and serving the AL a very high World Ste a concealed World am deep world even higher till the infinite light those are five levels of Z says so that's a quote from the zor comes along the re's father and the re's father says what are these five levels the's father explains as follows elw is referring to the sphere ofo is referring to the SPH of is referring to the lower part of which is is referring to the higher part of which is up to which is called know there's five levels after of and the five levels are again that is what re's father explains the five levels comes along the rebba and the Reb says okay what does this mean practically and the Reb says it's teaching us that a person has to always grow that means whatever level you're at there's no such thing as being stagnant you always have to go higher and higher and you can go as high as infinite in other words even after was he transformed and all the levels ofad but nevertheless he went on higher like we just learned from The Zo referring to and says he wants to make even more practical we're talking about five levels what do the five levels correspond so we know everybody has an A and there's five levels to we'll start from the lowest now what are these five levels relate to practically so we know inab it explains as follows that is the inter powers that we have is the external Powers we have called but more practically what is NE nees means our our de and our actions our speech and our thought what is r r is our our emotions what is that's connected to the idea of intellect understanding things and what is that is referring to our faith in God and our never shall self-sacrifice in other words what does that mean practically on every one of these levels NE our thought speech and action our emotions our intellect our faith and our self-sacrifice we can go higher and higher and higher so the answer the question how high can one go we can go as high as we are we can always go higher as you see from this powerful teaching from the zor thanks so much for joining us our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to memory of May their souls be elevated by Torah we studying in their memory for more information please see our website kabad sf.org have a great and blessed week shabua to
