you can
good afternoon you could see me and hear

yeah give me a thumbs up okay wonderful
as usual if you did not yet print out
the source sheets
please do so now we're going to be
learning text
a text-based discourse you can print it
out on the shiva.net
you'll see monday morning class and you
can download the source sheets or view
them i printed them out
it's eight pages eight sides which is
four pages double-sided
and uh yeah we begin a new mimer today
so please print out your source sheets
and we're about to begin
since we're within 30 days
before
that 30 days before the holiday we begin
to learn
the halacha is the themes and the laws
of the
so therefore today we're going to begin
a mimer a hasidic discourse of the baal
hatana of the altareba
on pesach it begins with aposic
a few words about this my mirror that
we're about to begin
i know that uh one of you purchased just
a few days ago the safety
area in the couture by the balatanya so
mazel tov
the baron and hashem will still be
learning that
but today we're actually going to learn
a mimer from another safer of the
balatanya
known as the siddhar
this is the sidder just a little
historical background the balatanya
had three sons one of his sons
was rabbenu div bear rabbidive bear who
became his successor
the second khabad rebbe known as the
mitila rabbit the miller
after his father's passing on the 24th
of davis
tough of ayan gimmel 1812 his son
rebel doveberry succeeded him as the
second rabbi of chabad
he lived much shorter than his father he
passed away
in the year tough paychess which means
and he was succeeded by his son-in-law
who was also a grandson of the balatanya
known as the tsam banaca mendel of
labavich
the mittali rebbe was
obviously a son and a very close
disciple of his father
and he would transcribe most of his
discourses
most of the maimaryam that his father
the alta rebbe would say on shabbos
on holidays in the middle of the week
were transcribed
also by the mithrib a year after his
father's passing
which means tough i in dallas 1814
he published what's called siddhar im
divre al-akim
siddhar im dach which means a siddhar
with divine living words divine living
explanation
and basically this siddha has a few
lines of the prayer
and it's surrounded all around by the
texts of the explanations on the
davening that he heard from his father
in other words over the years dr ebba
said so many maimaru
on the different pieces of dhavanink
whether
it's the beginning of davaning the
brachas and the carbonus
or sukida zimra or the blessings of
shema or the shema itself
or shebanes or other parts of davaning
so the mithlerebba published a year
after his father's pathing a siddhar
this siddha contained two unique things
first of all it was the nusa of the
altar
you know the al trebbe wrote on
he had in front of him 60 different
versions of davening
66-0 we know two three four you know
ashkenaz
right maybe you know another few but he
had 16 oscars
and what he tried to do was select and
create the nusakh
that would be perfect both from a
linguistic
and grammatical point of view and also
for a kabbalistic
mystical and spiritual point of view and
this became known as
the nusakh of the bala tanya or the musa
of khabad
which is based on the nusakh of
dhaarizah but this was al-tireiba's
text of davening that he wrote from
beginning to end
and that included for the whole year in
other words every day shahrukh
shabbas yamtif rosh hashanah kipper
haggada everything
that all was published still in his
lifetime
in his lifetime before 10 years before
he passed away
but after his lifetime the mittally
rebel published his sidder
but this time it came with an
explanation meaning
around every piece sometimes it's a very
thick book
today they already published it in two
books there's a few lines on the top
and then around and around you have the
mimorum the explanations of the altitude
on that piece of dhavnik and it's
divided into sections there's a section
of chakras and minecraft
etc and almost every section has
long by marium that the mithler ever
wrote that he heard from his father
this mimer that we're going to begin
learning today basin hashem is from that
siddharth
it's a miami that al-tarabha said on the
seventh day of pesach
mcdonald means 1804.
so that's how many years ago that's 217
years ago altered
was then living in a city in belarus
called li adi
liyadi most of his life he lived in
lyajna but after his second arrest
in 1801 in 1800 he relocated from the
arjuna tiliadi
where he lived almost till the end of
his life until he escaped in 1812 he was
escaping napoleon
the napoleonic wars napoleon invaded
russia
in the year summer 1812 june 1812 and he
escaped before elol and he passed away
in ukraine where he's buried
in the winter of 1812 december 1812
so tough of some dalit on the seventh
day of pesach
the altar ebba set a mime obviously
about pesach
this is the mimer that we begin learning
today
as was often the case he would say a
mimer and then often later
he would say a second mimer which was a
explanation
on the first sometimes he would even
give another explanation to the
explanation this was called the beer
this mimer is an example of such a mimer
on sri shalom he said the first mimer
and then later
maybe that night or maybe the next day
he said
a whole explanation on the mimer where
he elaborates and expounds and explains
further
and shows the references and how he got
there and the methodology of it
the methodology of his thought that's
what usually the explanations were he
showed the foundations and how he
developed ideas
that was said after the first mimer and
that the mithler ebba also wrote down
and he printed it at the end of this
mine
and then the altered said a second beer
a second explanation
which he actually said on the night of
israel which means much
yamatov he said a second acceleration
that he also printed here so when you
at the end of this marmot you see
there's a whole explanation to the mimer
it's mimer two and then there's mine
with three which is an explanation on
the explanation
we're going to begin with the original
mimer which begins with aposic and
pauses
usually the memarium would begin with a
passage with a verse and that was like
the
starting point from which the mimer
would develop and then grow
into the themes that the mimer deals
with and discusses so
it sometimes it begins with aposic
sometimes it begins with a maya machazal
sometimes it just begins to understand a
certain concept but usually in most
cases it begins
with aposic now torah arya and lakuta
terra
of course are also my modem of the
altitude but those are my mom that were
mostly written by his brother
al-tarabha's brother known as the
maharil murdainu
he would also transcribe his brother's
discourses
and of course his discourses as i
mentioned numerous times
are primarily the ones that create
toyota
tutoria which also has a whole section
on pesach and parshasav
and we have learned in the past in the
toyota parties
various my maruman pesach especially i'm
going
to encourage the maimer sheishas yamim
in lakuta toyota today we're also
learning
but there's more than one sheishas yama
so there's a sheisha you
look at the toyota that you could find
in the lakota terra section
on the yeshiva.net if you go to the
yeshiva.net and you go to
uh torah you'll see lukutta toyota and
if you go to pesach
you'll see all the maimarum that we did
previous years for pesach
we did cheshire we did matsuzu
we did in halal also
last year we did matsuzu toughrish iron
base
you remember the avat kenaini the
avedivri the america
right at length both halogenically and
spiritually what that means
so i will encourage you since these are
the weeks before pesach
to really prepare for pesa internally
not just externally
to take time and learn through some of
these maimaru
to the best of your ability review them
so comes pesachia
always applicable but it infuses a new
sophistication and depth and relevance
emotional relevance and psychological
relevance and spiritual relevance
all of these concepts so they're not
just archaic and ancient
okay so today we begin as i said the new
mimer
let's start right away shaish is
six days you should eat matzos and on
the seventh day
is a day of at cerris it's a day when
you stop working
when you contain yourself at ceres means
containment
the word at ceres even today in hebrew
is a gathering when you have a gathering
of people
you contain them you bring them together
to one space
and they're in a confined space so the
seventh day is a day of containment
which means it's a day of gathering and
it's a day when we abstain from work we
don't just scatter and everybody does
their own thing
it's a day when you're contained you're
home you're surely with the community
seriously now the anomaly here we all
know is
sheisha's you should eat matzah six days
one second and parachutes boy
maishrabeno told us
you should eat mantis for seven days and
on the seventh day is a holiday
we know there's a difference between the
seventh day and the previous days
because the previous days are called
and the seventh day is a holiday when we
don't do any work even not
the we also don't do a lot of forms of
work but even those things that are
permitted
you don't do any mastery besides the
cooking
which we can do on yomtif but there is a
unique
change here that happens in parish's boy
when the jews just left egypt
maishnavenu
and many of us say this parasha every
single day kadesh
which are sections of parishes by over
there he tells us clearly we should eat
monsters for seven days
let's remember that initially pesach is
a seven day holiday it's not an eight
day holiday only in the diaspora
because of svekadem because they were
not sure when the holiday began
they would celebrate an extra day just
in case pesach started a day early or a
day late
so till today whoever lives in places
that were more distant from jerusalem
during the days
when they would establish the new month
based on the witnesses we still
celebrate pesach for eight days
shivu is two days and suk is also an
extra day on ninth day
however initially pesach has only seven
days granted as they do an artistron
this is the first day of the holiday and
then there's the last day of the holiday
which is the seventh day ahrens
and you have the intermediary days khala
maya days
but what's this anomaly she's versus
srivasyam
this is a discussion in gemara
massachusetts
all the way at the end those who are
learning and are still going to finish
before pesa what a beautiful
i don't want to say coincidence i don't
think it's a coincidence what a
beautiful uh
uh um the word i'm looking for what a
great uh
uh in judaism they call it practice okay
what a great
practice very good so uh those who are
learning that
me are finishing literally a few days
before pesach
we had this host to learn ayurveda and
the last period of
last year um
before pesach and you can all you can
watch all those sharing of the last last
chapter of sahim also on the website on
yeshiva.net so on
aleph which is literally the second to
the last page before uh
the end of massachusetts the gemara
explains this and i want to i want to
clarify
because this is something that people
often gloss over and they misunderstand
and this is really the basis of this
mimer so let's see what he says in the
mind
he needs the words of our
sages are known and it's also in makilta
and in rashi and in terrorist cayenne
and you'll see in footnote 3
they did a wonderful job here with the
footnotes referencing all the words of
the altareba
so our sages say
just as the seventh day is a voluntary
experience the six days are also
voluntary
the liaison only the first night is
obligatory
the gemara says something very
interesting there is a principle
and this is known as the eighth
principle from the thirteen principles
with which we interpret terror every
morning before davening we say
rabbi ishmael
says that there are 13 principles which
were given to us
through which we can expound torah these
are the 13
ways of interpreting terror the 13
principles that you have to know they
are
the formula if you wish or the
methodology
that moses gave the jewish people in
order for them to be able to interpret
and expound and explain and elucidate
torah throughout all of history because
whenever you have a document especially
if the document is short
by definition it's cryptic it can't
include every single situation and all
circumstances that will ever come up
through our jewish history
so for this we have the media is
chattering
the various formulas which the sages or
other generations have always
used in order to be able to know how to
explain terror
and how to apply situations how to apply
the laws of tita to each various
situations
one of them it's the eighth one we say
it every single morning and
those of you who haven't said it this
morning or you'll say it suit
and i want you to from today on i want
you to remember
this so that when you say it in the
morning
when you say it in the morning you'll
understand because most people go
through the 13 principles
and it's like okay you know it's
something else to say
what's this principle if something was
part of a clown
if toyota had a principle a general
statement
that included a lot of details a clown
means a general statement or a general
principle like a clow
a claustro and it includes many details
if something was part of that
umbrella that unit and then suddenly
yatsuminakla the toyota extricates it
from the cloud
specifies it and takes it out of the
general
collective don't think it only went out
for itself
it wasn't extricated from the cloud just
to teach us something about itself
rather it's here to enlighten us and
inform us about the entire clock
in other words if this i'll soon explain
what that means
if this detail was neither in the cloud
it was just never in the cloud
it was always distinct fine so it's
distinct
but if it was once once upon a time it
was part of the clown
it was part of a larger unit of other
items
and then the territory removes what's
going on here if you want it removed
why'd you put it in
uh you put it in and then you removed it
because you become a teacher
for all of your colleagues who are in
the cloud what do i mean this sounds so
abstract and it is
but here is the classic example
what's the status of matzah after the
seder
the knight of pesach the turtle clearly
says you have to eat
matzah the night of pesach fourteen
nissan at night
al matsas you eat it together with
matsuyuri together with more it's an
obligation that is explicit and clear
and determined that the night of pesach
i'm obligated to eat matzah together
with my
i'm obligated to eat matzah to eat to
eat matzah together with the carbon
pesos together with mutter
even after the basement dish is
destroyed when there's no carbon pesach
rava says and that's the over there in
the gemara that is an obligation to eat
matsuko the terrorist says
the night of pesach you have to eat
monsters got it but what about the first
day of pesach
what about the second day the third day
the fourth day the fifth day
am i obligated to eat mats well it says
shiva's
yeah it says seven days to eat matzah
seven days is seven days
doesn't only say the first night but
wait
that's the cloud suddenly in particular
hey
hoya baklavi yatsam in aklao the seventh
day was taken out of the cloud
because in particular it says
only six days you should eat matches
what happened to the seventh day
he was expelled we threw him out of the
group
he's not part of the clique anymore
she's just yom
you heard about and shay is very geshmak
so the seventh day was thrown out of the
clown hayab cloud it used to be part of
the cover
the seventh they used to be part of the
clique in parishes by it says
but in particular suddenly says
so the seventh day was expelled from the
group
he is now self-contained i don't want to
say orphaned he's not orphaned
but he's on his own but one second
you're contradicting yourself
if you believe that only the sixth day
first say
six days of peso have to eat monster not
the seventh day why are you confusing me
my shirabeno
why in parishes boy do you tell me seven
days and a parachute a say
six days why are you doing this just say
six days consistently
ah because initially the seventh day was
part of the clown
and then the seventh day was taken out
of the clown here comes the eighth
principle of rabbi ishmael
called over shahaya bhlal
if you used to be in the cloud and then
you were taken out of the cloud
and you were given unique unique
a unique status and your unique laws
they weren't only given to you for you
yourself
because if they were given only to you
for yourself why were you once part of
the cloud you should have
never been part of the cloud you're
different this means that these laws
were given for the whole cloud for all
your friends
all your friends back there in the clown
you redefine them
this is the classic situation what does
the terror take out
of the cloud the seventh day and what
does it teach me that there's no
obligation to eat months on the seventh
day it says sheisha salman
that means on the seventh day i don't
have to eat matzah i'm not gonna eat
hummus
if i wanna eat bread if i want to eat
carbs
i have to eat matzah but i don't i don't
have an obligation to eat matzah
you can eat meat you can eat chicken you
can eat vegetables you can eat fruit
even though because there are many
opinions that hold that yumpta if you
don't need la hamishna so you don't even
need you don't even need matzah
even those of all you need like a
mission you certainly don't need lechem
oini
you certainly don't need that matzah
that we have at the night of the seder
which is
only flour and water called poor man's
bread you don't need that
even if you hold that there's a key of
which is itself debatable
so therefore you don't have to eat the
mats of the first night every day of
pesach
and certainly you don't have to wash so
the seventh day which is not
we see clearly there's no obligation to
eat matzah comes to gomorrah and says
that teaches me for the whole clown that
all the six days there's also no
obligation to eat matzah
mash virus
just as the seventh day it's voluntary
the first six days it's also voluntary
besides the first night because over
there the terror explicitly comes and
says that the first night is unique and
the first night is an obligation to eat
matzah at the seder which is what we do
till this very day
not everybody eats matzo all pay second
factor with those who actually didn't
eat matzo all day
i knew i know jews and i knew jews
because they were very afraid of comets
because the easiest thing to become
muhammad
of course is matzah right but but okay
that's a separate discussion they
actually didn't eat matzah besides had
to say that they had to eat afterwards
they wouldn't
but the point is it's not an obligation
that's the concept that we see here
and that's what the gemara says that um
we learn from here that
again again i was learning in the art
school
and on the third pacific in this week's
parsha it says
and the earthquake brings the same red
ishmael
to show about that and i didn't really
understand it then but i understand
now it's a little bit of a hard concept
it's hard yeah yeah and it's unfortunate
i know it's hard because people learn
it's not really hard but the problem is
the first time it's explained to people
it's often not explained clearly to
children or young adults
so it becomes there's a memory in your
brain that this i'll never understand
it's like i told you once about the laws
of purity and impurity
that the first time most kids learn that
they're nine years old
and it's not explained properly and
forever they give up i will never
understand
tomantara you remember when we learned
triphanines
the same thing with all the vessels and
the sizes and the measurements it's like
okay
this is beyond me so this is just one of
those examples everyone says this every
morning
now so this is a very fascinating
principle
now you might ask why can the torah just
be clear about this
just right
you could eat matzah for seven days and
certainly if you want to eat bread
you've got to eat matzi and already
comments but there's no obligation to
eat matzah for seven days
an obligation only the first night of
pesach nobody eats monster seven days
you don't have to
no because that is only i think two
three days
well the seder is first night and and
and then
but the seder is the first night we have
a say they're both nights
so we eat mats obviously two nights and
all the other days of pesach
it's voluntary it's not obligatory now
why doesn't the toyota say this clearly
just say clearly that the fear was to
eat
they eat the first night and all the
other days if you want to eat bread you
have to eat matzo you don't have to eat
matzo you could just eat
vegetables or you could just juice
you can do celery juice that's also fine
as long as it's not comets so that's not
a question in nicola meaning
there's the way the territory structured
what it says explicitly and what we
derive
through the various methodologies but
the truth is
that if you go one step deeper there's
the element of mr here which means
the fact that this is expressed through
this mechanism through this methodology
is extremely meticulous that somehow
it's the seventh day that has to teach
us
that you come that matzah is not
obligatory
turner doesn't say it about all the six
days it says it about the seventh day
and then from the seventh day we go back
and we redefine the other six days to be
in the same category
a similar example we just had we have in
uh
in the beginning of pasha's vayakel the
terrorist says
you shouldn't ignite fire on shabbos the
obvious question is one second you told
me earlier you shouldn't do any work on
shabbos
we have a tradition that there's 39
types of labor
so why are you specifying not to ignite
a fire on shoppers
you should also say don't plant on
shoppers don't plow on choppers
so that actually says bakari shribaka
tischmas and bryson
don't ride on shoppers don't build on
shoppers don't carry on shop
so carrying on shabbos also there's a
posik
at least according to many opinions
alyiatsus
back in paris bashala but here in
vayakali only specifies igniting a fire
so the gemara rashi quotes the famous
opinion
was one of the 39 and the turtle takes
it out of the cloud
it was part of the cloud of not to do
malacha the terror
extricated from the cloud not to teach
you only about lighting a fire
but to teach you about all the other
malachi's havara
khali kyota's to teach that every single
malacha makes you
liable in a separate way so for example
if a person forgets
that uh you're now letter right on
shabbos you're not going to cook on
shabbos you know the light of fire on
shabbos you know a lot of plant on
shabbos
right and i do it all i'm liable for
each melaka
in other words they're not just part of
one category melaka
but each one gets a separate status so
from havara
we learn it out for the other ones now
the question is why did terror choose
fire until they should have chosen
another one
that's a great question it's not a
question and niggler it's a question of
mister
a that's what the torah does but
in this or the back end program
it's a question the shallow the shallow
answers the question
just to give one example the shallow
writes because
the first malacca of hashem we rest on
shabbos because god rested on top what
was the first malachi of hashem
what's the first thing he created if you
go to parishes borders
god said let there be light in other
words the first thing god did was he
created a fire
he created light so light is the first
beautiful of shallow
so light is the first malacca of hashem
so that's why when you have to
when you have to specify a malacca he
goes
why is light the first malachi of hashem
that's the first thing it says
it also represents the mission statement
of the jewish people
this is the famous sikh of the lobby
that the mission statement of life is to
create light
so the first thing hashem says let there
be light because that is
the first mission statement of what life
is all about you're here to create
light and bring light into every
situation
what is how do we understand this here i
once taught you many you
when we were learning we spoke we we
learned this fast
and we'll soon gonna see how that's so
applicable to this mimer
called shahia baklao is not just a
technical legalistic principle it's also
a cosmic
spiritual principle because
if you go through genesis
the first chapter is till the beginning
of
there's just something called humanity
civilization
and the jewish seed is part of
civilization hayabaklao
but then the yatsam and aklao by yamaha
god takes avramovino out of the cloud
out of the cloud of
there was one clock called humanity
universal humanity
and that's the theme that's developed in
veracious and in new york all the themes
the tree of knowledge the murder of abel
the story of the tower
the corruption during the generation of
the flood that destroys the
destroy civilization these are all
messages for
all of humanity we call them the
shepherd the seven
our height lords that apply to every
single human being who is a child and a
descendant of noah
suddenly in lachlan everything changes
the story becomes very specific
the late rabbi jonathan sachs and many
of his works and essays and
and lectures focused on this theme how
the hebrew bible
dramatically makes a shift from a
universal calling
addressed to all of humanity and
suddenly it's
suddenly avraham and his family is
singled out
which would become the jewish nation the
jewish people called over shahayah
the yachts avraham was taken out of the
clown
here is the catch listen to this
al-aqsa don't think that the jew
was chosen in order to become a
self-contained people
no la lama de la claude kula yatsa
you're here to go back and illuminate
all of humanity
so what's the first message god tells
abraham
may you become a source of blessing for
all the nations of the world
jewish chosen this is not you were part
of a cloud and then you were taken out
of the cloud
and now you're self-contained and
segregated and you don't care at all
what's happening with the world
let the whole world jump into the lake
or the hudson river or the pacific if
they want
called over shahia because
you're here to go and redefine the whole
cloud to change the whole world
to repair the whole world
exactly bring love light and hope to the
whole world that's the jews calling
true over many years in exile we were
oppressed and we were quarantined and we
were segregated and we were just trying
to fend
for ourselves and if somebody would just
let us be ourselves and not bother us it
was already a great
miracle so who thought about changing
the world
but we today god placed us in a time of
history
where we are called upon because we have
the opportunity
to actually reclaim
our pristine and our innate calling
which is to transform the landscape of
human civilization
the rambam writes in a fascinating
rambam
that moshe rabbenu gave a jew the
commandment from
god that jews are responsible to
influence
all of humanity to uphold and observe
the seven noah hyde laws which are the
basis of civilization
rabbeno evadi of sifano the 15th century
great italian physician and sage and
commentator and mathematician a real
renaissance man
this famous sufarno who writes a
commentary on homage and on mishnay is
the bartenura rabbenu avadya bartonura
who wrote a commentary on the homicide
is somebody else bartender also italian
but there's somebody else so the sephora
rides if adam thiele malefice khan and
the gold cutters you should be a kingdom
of
priests and a holy nation which means to
be a kingdom of princes
quran he says that your job is
to be moral teachers to all of mankind
to uplift all of
all of humanity so that's this principle
called over sharia baklava
and this is not a contradiction to the
unique
halachas and laws and guidelines that
define the jewish people the exclusivity
in terms of how the jew lives how the
jew behaves on the contrary
avraham avinu the more he is rooted in
his
own true essence the more he could
become an inspiration
to the whole world so now
i hope this clarifies at least somewhat
this eighth principle
so that from today when you say in
davening this eighth principle
you'll remember this point my mission to
change the whole cloud
even though i was taken out of the cloud
right so if you want to put it in
different words it would be
if somebody grew up in a certain group
let's say a very poor demographic or
a underprivileged demographic you're
part of that clown
and then you're taken out of that cloud
somehow you're plucked out
don't become selfish don't forget where
you came from
you weren't taken out just for yourself
you were part of them
you're always part of them so why were
you taken out why were you
singled out to be able to go back
and help everybody from your cloud
that's why you were put there
where does this all come from this
halacha the seventh day of pesach was
part of the one unit
and then it was singled out in
particular
somehow the seventh day was excluded oh
you weren't just excluded for yourself
taken out of the cloud giving a new
status and alaka
you're part of the shaishus yemen you're
there to redefine the first six days
okay this is the actual principle now
let's see inside asks the altar
via hove and we have to understand la
maha virus
what is the underlying message here
why is the seventh day voluntary
first the terrorist says you should eat
matzah seven days then the terrorist
says shall need matzah six days
which means the seventh day has a unique
status and then the seventh day teaches
us about the first six days
why does the torah do it this way the
turtle could have just said clearly
that seven days outside of the first
night you know of teeth mats inaudible
so you'll say well that's how the terror
teaches it to us but it's meticulous
everything in territory is precise
this means that there's something about
the seventh day
which is somehow connected with the idea
that matzah is not obligatory then
there's something about the seventh day
that is unique
and that's why it's the seventh day that
becomes the source of this law
even for the first six days we learn the
first six days that you don't have to
eat matzah from the seventh day
mashvirus
so now the question is why is this what
is it about the seventh day
that has this unique energy that this
becomes the source for not being
obligated
to eat mats on the seventh day the gamla
having
also to understand indian mitzvos
of course in order to understand the
answer to the first question we have to
get
to a more general question why do we eat
matzah
what's the concept behind eating mats
maybe if we can understand what eating
matz is then we can understand
why the first night were obligated to
eat matzah
the first six days the territory
indicates that we're obligated to eat
matzah
the seventh day the turtle clearly says
you're not obligated teeth matzah
and from the seventh day you could go
back and redefine the six days
says the altitude which is one of the
most
basic kabbalistic texts the zayar tells
us in more than one place and you have
the references in
footnote four where desire says the
matza nikri mikhla the memenosa
mata is called bread of faith
but what does this mean how can a carb
that you're consuming
be called michael the it's made of flour
it's made of water
it's just a physical piece of food like
any other piece of food
are you going to call a cucumber a
cucumber of faith or a piece of
khalakhala faith
it reminds me of a joke remember the
joke they say that there was once
there was once a kid you know a jewish
kid he ended up in
some prep school with many non-jewish
friends
and the teacher was going around and
asking the children
what did they do before the meal so
most of the christian children in the
classroom were saying
that we do a special prayer special
grace before the meal
you know we we we put our hands together
and we pray
to to the lord we pray to god before
we're about to eat
so finally she turns to the jewish kid
she says david
how about you do you pray before you eat
and david says no no no my my mother is
a great cook there's no need for that
so what's the point somebody somebody
once said
there was a jew who once said in our
home
we always always ate leftovers always
from the day
i was born and i could remember we're
eating leftovers
we still don't know what happened to the
original
we still don't know what happened to the
original meal
what is this idea that you take a piece
of matzah and you say this is called
bread of faith food of faith what does
it mean well beerus that explanation is
hainu masha kasov
it's based on the possible zion gimmel
psalms chapter 37 verse 3
where the psalmist says
trust in god do good dwell
in the land and then come the last words
what does mean what does it mean it's
very
uh it's cryptic it's enigmatic
comes from the word which means shepherd
a shepherd is called
or a means to shepherd a moon is faith
loyalty so some of the commentators said
like the mitsubishi
says you should be shepherded
by your faith by your amuna but it's not
so clear in the posix so the
commentators have very different
interpretations
so although says as follows
the meaning of this passage is not only
that it's faith
that shepherds you allah
it actually means something else the
opposite yes
there is a shepherd who knows how to
feed
his flock with emunah
just like a shepherd is responsible to
take the flock
out to graze in the right pastures to
get the right food
to be irrigated with the water to be
able to quench their thirst so they can
have
a good and normal and functional life as
animals
as domesticated animals so that's what a
shepherd does
a shepherd takes the flock out to graze
and eat
so he says to somebody
who knows how to shepherd how to feed
how to sustain
to give to the people
you should shepherd the people with a
muna
what does this mean this means
he says it doesn't only mean that emunah
is the shepherd
meaning you should be shepherded and fed
by a munna
but actually the literal interpretation
is
you should feed them a munna you should
shepherd them with a munna
you should feed them their munna what
does this mean what does it mean to feed
people with ammuna
who explanation is the adorati know in
the knesses israel nikri
kinesis israel is called
emunah why means faith the gathering of
jewish souls
because jews knesses israel has a moon
and they believe
in god's oneness
and this is entrenched it's ingrained in
their souls it's an inheritance from
their fathers all the way back to
avraham it's
who were a merkava merkava the madrid
says
that however markov cover means a
chariot
the definition of a chariot is that it's
a
it's a conduit that allows
the person the rider to ride on this
chariot for example if you have a horse
and the horse pulls a wagon so that
horse and that wagon are called
cover they don't have their own
priorities their own
autonomous identity you don't have to
fight with them every time you get on
to the to the cherry the definition of
the horse and the chariot is i am here
to do what you want i am here to bring
you to the places you want
to go the other says the madrish
the others were this ultimate cover
their very identity was a conduit and a
channel for the divine will and the
divine energy
as a result of this they created what
you may call
if you wish i'm just using this
metaphorically a genetic mutation
a spiritual genetic mutation where this
soul this amuna
becomes part of the jewish identities
part of the jewish gene it's part of the
jewish soul
however
so this will soon explain is inherent
into the jewish character
but in order to add to this vitality
and a flow of light for this you need a
shepherd
to sustain them or to be my finest
to bring this and muna into their
bloodstream like when you eat
the food becomes part part of your
bloodstream so you need a shepherd to
take this
and to feed this on my finances
it says in tehillim chapter 18 80 uroya
israel hazina the shepherd of israel
listen to us there's something called
royal israel somebody who
shepherds the jewish people this doesn't
mean the person who gives them
physical food alone israel the one who
shepherds them
with a munna he or she feeds them with
the moon
commission is explained elsewhere
and one of the ways through which the
jewish people
are fed are given this ammuna even
though it's part of them
but in order for it to be more vibrant
and more alive and more conscious
so through eating matzah and munna gets
strengthened in the heart of the jewish
people
the nikki represents and that's why
desire calls it bread of
faith what does it mean better faith
most people would say what does the
zohar mean
it's called bread of faith because
symbolically the jews
ate matzah when they left egypt
which was based on faith as the famous
passage says
zakharti or jeremiah
i remember the grace of your youth the
love
of our early marriage when you followed
me into a desert
a land that's unsewn this took
tremendous amount of tremendous faith
egypt was a place that was populated and
it had the basic necessities for human
life
and here the jews are following an
invisible god
into a desert this requires a muna
do we have enough food do we have enough
water who's going to take care of our
children
that's what god says i'll never remember
i'll never forget
the faith of your useful youthfulness
that you followed me the eretz lloyd's
rule and what did they take with them
they took with them that matzah that
they just baked in egypt they had no
time to let it rise because the
egyptians expelled them
from the country so that's why matzah
represents the bread of faith when we
eat matzo we remember
that the jewish people left egypt with
tremendous faith but that's not
connected to the actual matzah that i'm
eating today
i'm eating matzah to remember to
symbolize the ancient matzah that they
ate then
which was called bread of faith because
for them this matzah represented a lot
of faith
because the matzah was made as matzah
because they didn't have time
to stay in egypt they were they left and
that was based on a moon
but the truth is desire says that the
matzah itself is
it's not just it reminds us of the bread
of faith this matzah
that you and i are going to eat on
pesach 2021
pacifist option payout just like the
matzah you ate up shanpei and of
shanayan tests etc
from when you were born this matzah is
the bread of faith why
it was just made in a matzah bakery in
bar park or in muncie or in los angeles
or in benebrach in your shalom
or in london or in manchester
why is it called bread of faith so
that's what this mimer is going to
explain
that actually the muna is there in every
jew
but what the matzah does is
it feeds you with the moon eating the
physical matzah
actually strengthens the ammuna in the
heart of the jew
when you're eating this matzah that
you're eating you're not just
remembering bread of faith that they eat
thousands of years ago
this itself is this itself
has within it an energy food becomes
part of who we are
this itself has an energy that triggers
and arouses and reveals that which lay
embedded in
the jewish soul as the mimer will go on
to explain
remember jacob is saying matcha is a
good karma
very good carb a faithful carb
i don't know all the carbs are good but
matza is a good carb
okay questions
how is creating light the same as
creating
fire
well every fire produces light by
definition
right in fact you know today we take for
granted we have thomas edison we had
thomas edison you know you do the switch
and you have light
but uh in in the days of your if you
wanted light at night
right you had the moon or you had to
create you had to light a candle you had
to light your lantern you had to light a
candle
that's how you got your light of course
fire also has other benefits
besides the light is of course the
warmth the heat
the ability to cook but but the first
and foremost
product is that it gives us light
next question
i was taught that fire is electrons
jumping out
that's what i was taught i remember
whatever that means
yeah you mentioned somebody asks you
mentioned that although every wrote is
and he had 60 different versions
is that the reason but i see this is a
person said but i see that as
much shorter a lot of things that many
other groups say
like yoitsaris on yamamumtavum or ayba
parshis he doesn't say there's no
vashamru
friday night baruch hashem amen
by my review doesn't say last shabbos
that came as a surprise
to my host that we didn't say certain
yoitsaris
on shabbosh
um why is that yeah so the ultra rebbe
had his shita based on his halacha what
to say and what not to say
the example for example is by myria if
many people say barak hashem
in vomit but you know how logically it's
a problem to stop
to interrupt after hashkey venus and
alternate took it out
i think the villenegon also took it out
so yeah
everything has a reason why uh why he
what he took out what he left it
when were for example the yellow trails
put into the center or where
right so so these were these yoyos were
all later editions in history
and although went back very much to
pristine to the pristine
text of the sydney even rosh hashanah
kipper he took out an enormous amounts
of poems that he that he felt
were not written based on
the ultimate knowledge of kabbalistic
doctrines
he was very very selective which poems
not that these poems are not good
for solomon they're amazing they're
beautiful but
he was extremely meticulous about what
went into his city and even how things
are pronounced
even the pronunciation of words because
he was a
uh he was a real medactic
which means altered was a genius and
grammar besides everything else
he was a genius in language and grammar
so he wanted to sit there to be perfect
on every level not just spiritually but
also grammatically so there's a lot of
very interesting corrections
that he made he felt this was the the
the purified no i don't know where his
period
even but this was like so to speak a
very very worked out
question you explained that clao is the
rule and the pratt
is the exception when there's an
exception
it's there to redefine the whole rule
and the fact of an exception
is not just for itself but one examines
the rationale for the exception being
different from the clown
and then one can better understand the
rationale for the clown
we drive 55 miles per hour an ambulance
can break his speed limit legally
from this we learned that 55 is to
ensure safety but the exception for the
ambulance clarifies
that saving a life overrides general
safety
okay the world was given seven our
height laws but avrom was made an
exception
why do you even need the exception
that's a good question
but somehow somehow
avramavinu was needed for that exception
otherwise if rama venue was not chosen
the world ultimately would not be
blessed in the way that avramavinu can
bless the world
so that's why it was important to have a
vrama venue as a
pratt in order to go back and redefine
the clown
