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

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is par the question of the week is what is the power of the Jewish people so this week's Torah portion we're going to learn a piece from the zor the Z says as follows the zor says theim the priest are they're the intellect the Levites they're the heart and then it says goofa the body is the Jewish people so Reb father says one second read the verse what read what the zor says the coim are the intellect the the leim are the heart and then it says the body is the Jewish people it should have said the opposite the Jewish people are the body like just like it's like it describes who theen is after it says and who the Le is after it says Ley it should have been just the should have said is's father explains says as follows the fact is that that's who they are the that's kindness that's the real powerful attribute and the are now the that's two3 of it has the power to draw an intellect and that's why he describes it as M the L the Levites two-thirds of gur and it draws in the idea of the heart when it comes to is the is is really toer so if it said is Goof that means the Jewish people the fer and they're drawing it it means they're lower than the feris that's why it says goofa referring to the to feris who who who they are and that's the Jewish people and they have the power to draw them from a higher place so explains what does this mean practically it means as follows by the intellect that's that's a secondary thing to the P to the to the priest by the Levites the idea of of the heart is a secondary thing but by the Jewish people the Goof for the body is who we are and not only who that's who we are because since we know that most of the people are Israelites so therefore all the Jewish people who are we we are connected to the idea of the F and re goes a a step deeper to explain that what does it mean the body it means we're the body for everything the truth is the Jewish people the body for everything for all three levels like says for example like know we we are what what is a body a body is a vessel how do you say a vessel in Hebrew CLE and it's spelled which stands for So within us we are a vessel for everything for the co and the Levites and Israelite and what does that mean we're a body we're a body to receive all the gifts and the blessings from Hashem not only to receive it we have the power to actually draw in all the blessings in our bod so the answer the question what is the power of the Jewish people that we're a vessel for all the blessings and have the power to draw it down into our life thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to memory of may your souls be elevated by Torah was studying in the memory for more information please see our website kabat sf.org have a great and blessed week shabua to
