Zohar Parsha Mishpatim. 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 is the power of number three so in this week Torah we're going to learn from the Z and the Z says like this that when the N when the soul leaves this world and he uses the description of Zakia Nik B which means it's means it's formed it's clean and Zak it's pure when the soul leaves on these three levels so puts in their light that's what it says in the so the Reb's father explains what are these three levels and he explains it's referring to three different levels of the soul of or de and thought speech and action or a vessel you have the outside and you have the the center part and you have the inner in inner part so three different parts of a vessel and then he says the fourth one is um observing mid the positive Commandments the negative Commandments and learning T so when the soul goes through the world and it transforms himself on um and it's thought speech and action and the the internal part and the external part and the middle part and learns to does mitzvos Commandments then Hashem puts in the powerful light into into the person Reb says what's the connection with the para says something very powerful and he says like this the three words that the zor uses that is is Zak is you take this the first letter of each one so you have a z and a n and a vas what is z Vas it stands for the word of zov which is a tale brings the powerful teaching in the mishna where it says that a person should better be a z of La Roy a taale for a lion rather than a head to a fox and the rebel also brings thei says us the opposite it's better to be the head of a fox than rather to be a Tay of a lion how do the two go together so what does that mean and explains very simple that when it says that there's two different parts to a person there's one will receive from a high and then we we give everyone's a receiver and a giver so when the mishna says that it's better to be a z of a tale to a li which means that you have to receive you have to re you have to receive before you give and then with with with Shi says that you should be the head of of of of a fox means that a person has to be a giver and they're both correct so explains what's the connection all these ideas he is very simple because m is referring to judges you need judges so when it comes to judging a a a court has to have at least three that's the connection with idea with idea of three also um in in this week's Torah portion deals with three different types of servants the Evan iy the male servant the female servant and then the non-jewish servant so you see the connection what to the idea of three but what what's what's the whole connection idea of three that means the whole idea of three the power of three is that throughout life we have to make sure not just to go to the right or to the left or Center we have to affect all different parts like we have to make sure that everything goes through our as to go through our to make sure to learn do the positive Commandments negative Commandments and learn in other words the power three is the power of balance thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of made Souls we elevated with by the Torah we're studying in the memory for more information please see our website kabad sf.org have a great and blessed week Sha
