#3 Kabbalah's best-seller - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

you know or pamphlets before printing so who was doing yeah I must admit this is there I'm not so familiar with there were people who were specifically would be happy that they would recopy a manuscript like literally by hand I assume um I'll tell you soon but my shirt is background noise oh but I've run this background noise somewhere so I don't know where it's coming from but please uh beautiful um basically the outlet the uh got wind of the writings of Tanya and they wanted to study it so they they made copies the ultra had written for 20 years is Tanya but he never publicized it so they they asked him could you give us some of the information he said yes and that's how and then each one made copies and copies and copies and copies so my hands yeah yeah there was no photocop machines by hand of course yeah okay and and sometimes as we'll learn today in the next application it's a genuine mistake but when it's a deliberate forgery it's a whole different issue and that's when the altered he noticed you know and people and see them told them that they're troublemakers they're trying to get you into trouble trying to get us in trouble trying to make us look bad it's a support there their uh their issue their their uh antagonism I I didn't mention yesterday but I reminded myself it's worth mentioning in 1896 excuse me what what what got you out today why doubted agreed to publish the Tanya as a book 1796 thank you was because the safety sivas harivash the instructions of the balchemtov was burned yesterday I told you in 1880 81 82 the the first printed book of hasidis told the shack of Joseph was burnt but in 18 in 1796 they burned that sivas are reversed out therapist said that's it I now I have to go public you know when when my rep is told is being burnt in the streets that's it so that happened in 1796. okay let's now turn to Paige gimbal of the haskamus the approbations now you must know that this hascover this approbation which is from the three sons of the rebels you'll see towards the end was not printed in the 1790s in the 1796 Tanya it was only printed in the 1814 Tanya that was printed in the city of that was already after the Altadena passed away in 1812. and this at that time when they reprinted the Tanya in 1814 two years after his passing by his sons that they added the fourth section of Tanya called The Garrison letters of holy letters and the fifth section some say the fifth second of some some call it a a a a part of the fourth section whatever it's called kuntras Akron the latter the last uh pamphlet those two were not included in the edition of 1796. so what you had dub in the first edition was only the first part of had written letters throughout his lifetime both to Aspire people to give to Dhaka particularly to the people in there Cicero and he and to his organization called kailu khabad which still exists today to support the the poor people of Earth Israel in their institutions and also written letters of of inspiration people to disturb Hashem better with love and all for God the children felt that this is very important as the time went on and the altered already passed away and here they are you know leading the the Chabad flock in particular the myth lab of the eldest son of Dove there so they decided we're going to add a set of letters that deal with these topics that I enumerated and also clarification of issues that the octaneber wrote about in the first section that he himself wrote how they coincide with statements in the zoara kodesh and in the achisvia result in the eights higham very capitalistic as you all know from saying hitas that that part of our Lord is is is you know is difficult it's it's a lot of Kabbalah but the alter never felt wrote To be honest to himself he to justify not justify to explain how there's no contradiction so the sons fell and but he didn't print it he didn't print in the first time the tiny was printed in 1796 now I don't know if he didn't print that last part because he hadn't finished it or he felt it's not relevant to really to the average person I don't know but he didn't print it but the sons since in 1814 felt now is the time to print that as well and and this has come up this last third approbation is about that okay so don't confuse the previous to us comments of the two students of the market representation with the not one we're learning today which is the ascamas the preparations of his of his sons Claire before we begin inside any questions okay house comments let's learn the text the approbations of the rabbis of the genius the author ing of Rojo may be remembered for blessing this muscle Aiden his soul isn't eight so again over here in this title it doesn't say who is the author right and this coincides meanwhile with what I told you yesterday the Antonette does not mention his name on the title page nor is the name mentioned in the two approbations of his two older friends because of his great modesty let's read now now what the approbation itself hey yes the brother's right since we all agree little shoes for her mother to give permission and authorization to to place on the printing press for an everlasting Eternal memory for the for Jews for the children of Israel cost of divided the MS writing of proper writing and Truth writing did really came words of God high in the Living God this is a reference right hello Kim I want you all to write this down or to memorize it is an acronym for da dalid Elohim aleph foreign the words of the Living God and what is it referred to hasidus it refers also you could say to Kabbalah in other words the study of Truth now what does that mean the talmud's not true how love is not true God forbid everything's true but the Purity that's doesn't lend itself to questions and answers and argumentation you don't have that so in a sense it's more forthright and pure hence it's called div really came higher and I'm not I'm not I'm not sure but I don't think that you really find this term in most other Hasidic writings Hillel have you ever come across in the slanerman's writing I'm not sure not sure I I don't I don't think so I mean right I I I don't anyone recalls in any other Hasidic writings I you know anyway in Chabad it's a common praise used to refer to the study of hasidus moisha you had a question where we're on page we're on page gimbal the third has come up the third line the second again okay so so they say that the words of truth of hasidus Avi foreign with his own holy handwriting he wrote the manuscript he asked me himself and it's a it's his holy language it's his all of his words are like burning coals but yeah it's Bernie Coles y'all evil they they they they they Flame how of others they inflame the hearts his words make the hearts Flame the god of Allah to bring Yeadon closer to their father in Heaven said so they say the three children who write this this approbation we're referring specifically not to his Tanya and the three first section but we're referring here which of course that's true but we're referring to the 1814 Edition of English holy letters we call them eguary we in other words who gave who gave the name to the fourth section of Tanya it seems like the three children decided this is the name because they're letters of their father and they believe they're holy the eighth grade conditions most of them the majority of them are letters that were sent from our Our Father the rabbit the Holy One the Holiness Hashem to instruct the nation of God haderech so wait that you should conduct himself and walk in but the way they should behave and here the Chabad Mercedes that they'll have tariff refers to the Ava and Gira within the letters remember I told you earlier the letters of eguedes acquaintish there are two kinds you can sum up as two kinds some are letters of inspiration in avoid is Hashem to to grow your Ava your love for God and your all for God so the word Derek would refer to that and the word myself hamisa after the word that refers to tadaka it's a DACA a lot of letters in here about Sudoku that's action gifts and duck a support give the poor people a virgin throw how you should give it when you should give it why you should give it and all those things that we we will see in the garage macbas Ed hates him and since in many places any garage there are references to what the outer never wrote in the kutia Barbara in the first section of Tanya the David there is a Gamora it's a famous phrase the words of Torah are poor in one place and rich in another place in other words Maisha sometimes the converter will discuss something very briefly and then in another track date the same idea will be discussed at Great length so when it's discussed very briefly David it's called anian porn it's not elaborate yes when it's discussed at length in late in elsewhere in the talmud we call it ashirim wealthy so the the children of the altarebi here in this approbation are citing that phrase regarding their father's writing sometimes our father was brief in explaining a concept in the kutia but he elaborated on it in another writings which we call countries which we could say is the fifth section of Tanya and that's why they're saying we've included it here in the 1814 Edition because there are some places in Tanya and you get us I'm sorry to get us acquaintish where our father refers to the kutia marim and it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't say what so therefore we need to open up the the open it up and elaborate and that's in control that's what it says right over here then he says not only is there in this in this last section clarification of earlier points that were were said written you know briefly but also there's a hiddush there's a novelty in Country Soccer there's some ideas that are totally new in other words not only is it clarification but it's a novelty and therefore it's worth Printing and learning and studying we've made a country a kind of a last pamphlet a ladder pamphlet on some of the chapters of Tanya chapter one foreign that he wrote while he compiled Hussein so I take back what I said earlier what the sons are saying here is that the altareb wrote the country Sacramento he was while he was composing his Tanya for 20 years that's what it says here but for some reason he didn't publish it so we are not going to publish it you see what it says here my ship it says here that I look what it says I said foreign he wrote These and what are they people the Eon amook deep dissertation deep analysis of the the eggs deep pimple analysis of sections of the zayar and the Kabbalah safer swarm called they seem to contradict some of the things that that he wrote in the kutia and with the spirit of his deep understanding May ashram called Deborah alefanov he resolves everything everything he said eats its place he compartmentalizes it he he explains it and he says it's not a contradiction this refers to this this refers to this etc etc and therefore we're including it in the 1814 edition of the reprinting of itanya okay therefore we see fit it's properly to attach to print as an attachment it get us acquaintish and a kuntus Akron in safer we get a saturation took attach to the first section called the kutia modern and the Garrison come on I'm waiting for a question yes yes you're on you yeah go ahead [Music] one occasion of what's the contradiction right I I remember the first the first one about without the episodes in chapter 40 and Tanya that through trila you'd feel sore and high that issue and over there he brings a contradiction that says elsewhere it's through Torah so is it true I think that's what that's the first part of countries but the question I'm waiting for Hebrew it should be obvious how many sections did the 1796 version of the Tanya the first time have three and over here he says only two it has a and you get us a truth or maybe didn't but I thought it did okay so I need to investigate that but you understand he says here where I'm I'm I'm we are we are rep we are reprinting the Tanya to the previous existing existing publication which had Le kutia Mario and the Garrisonville what about Charlie spoken about that in this comma at all but he hasn't spoken about against the truth either but the fact is I I don't know I think the fact is that in the first printing of 1796 it had three sections the three that we have and the second one being shot but here he doesn't say that so just bring it to your attention and I'll Snoop around or if you see anything let me know let's continue isn't isn't under some who say that it's also maybe like a separate section yeah of course it's a separate section if it's separate section the question is only stronger why doesn't he mention it if you tell me it's not a separate section okay but as far as I know as far as you just said you just said it yourself it's a separate section it's called let's go on no no what okay well what I didn't okay let's continue inside nevertheless we come we the children come to place a great fence is a great fence foreign and a decree of a snake the Abundant of the rabbis what does that mean it's a snake but it's a snake that has an acronym noon noon it's three forms of excommunication excommunications okay it's three variations of excommunication and they're so tough and Powerful that we don't wish to use them and because their bite is the bite of a snake so their acronym happiness what what's the third one [Music] so their bite is as powerful as a snake hence the acronym becomes so the children are saying we are warning everyone and basically if you're going to pretty much you know copy the Tanya without permission we place this rabbinic excommunication on you you have no research to do it so you know be warned don't do that the Leslie known as permission to lift their hands as your day is hand or even the different forms hands off the copyright is not yours you have no permission whether you print one section only or this one before this one don't play around with it you're dealing with fire that's what they're saying basically again like we learned yesterday in the first approbation from the two students of the market for five years from the day that we that we will sign below hello stop but now foreign we must notify everyone insane due to our transgressions the aggress not our due to the transgressions of the public he's referring to the the the ones that it's not them who went and copied and forged Sub full um they they put us end to his holy writing that he wrote himself I said to God all that was very very punctual ity is not an extra or missing even an aleph foreign the only thing that was that and what was and what remained was okay very few of the copies let me explain remember before before the 1796 Tanya was printed no sorry after the 1796 Tanya was printed they sold out so what do people do they again copied so the children are saying we have to reprint because we don't have any more we have very few copies left and to rely on copies which sometimes involves forgery we can't do that so that they're giving justification why they're reprinting that's what they're doing over here that's what he says out of all the copies of the Tanya that was printed few were are left and there have been uh We've gathered one here in the air Matters from the companies that were scattered by the students by the students of Tanya and he says and if you will find is them [Music] and if you find any mistakes mistakes who can understand so he says you should know that the context will verify the truthfulness of what's written even though you might find a copy mistake let me just finish and I'll explain and therefore even if there is a you find a a printing mistake the kavana the intent of what's being discussed will be clear and clarify so even in Pre the printing there were mistakes and it wasn't only till the Tanya of of 1900s that the fifth rabbit of Shalom bed of the babic asked a famous question that Usher of the Goliath Usher grutzmann Grossman come from nikolaev to lebovich and spent time there going over every word in in Tanya compare it comparing it to previous manuscripts and to give out a new cleaner version there's a lot of there's a big story about that because this was at a time when the Deborah Sharp's cousins were players as well the fifth rapper wanted their consent now you understand it had seven sons six remained living because of that there was 50 100 000 Russia and Ukraine was full of the Bible it doesn't mean everyone was wearing you know Saint kittas okay but they came from kabbat and the sons of the time of Sadiq and their sons promulgated and publicized khabac said this in the entire region more than any other group and that's a fact on the ground and it's not because that is a fact historical fact that academics agreed as well if we need their agreement okay no here you have cousins of the river shop who had their version of Chabad right One Salon one said it encompassed one side of navrush and one sentence five and here the one from the Babbage the successor passed away in 1882 that Rashad he decides in 1900 he wants to give out a Tanya that's has less mistakes well wouldn't wouldn't you think that he should get permission and work together with his cousins and the answer is yes but he led the charge and he knew that if he if he if he pushed the Babbage including printing that in the in the cover page they would not accept it you know what he did he told he told the printers to leave it out he didn't want to start michaelaikus and he wanted them to let me finish please he wanted the moment but he wanted them yes Maisha I'm sorry just I sorry I I lost you to leave out that this is printed by Yeshiva of lubavis this were four out of the five children of it samach said they were Chabad rabbits the only one that remained what was called was the fourth was the youngest rep shmuel the maharash and why because he stayed in Lubavitch the others moved out but not only that each one created their own shoe and their own supporters so when it came time to print the safer of Tanya Tanya which is the universal safer for them you know who says you ever write to print it we're all kids and grandkids of the time I said was sensitive to this and he worked very hard and there's letters you can in his letters he can read them he worked very hard to keep the peace and he succeeded and it's a very important lesson for us family children Wills inheritance make peace work it out even if you're the Kingpin even if your father and mother left you as the as the uh what do they call them the executive executor thank you remember you have siblings remember that and don't you know work it in a way that they feel good it's very important anyway I don't go into that now just an aside it's an aside but you see from this so why why am I telling you this because here we're here the kid the children of the time of of of of that ever saying that that um that what's called uh you know even if there are mistakes know that the content will prove that Delta Reba's point is correct I'm just telling you that late that four that's in 1814. 1900 it was only in 1900 that a new Tanya that was also not perfect perfect but much better without with less mistakes was printed and the rabbit our rapper has in the back of the these tinyas that are printed today are ticking toys correcting still mistakes in certain areas okay that's what we're referring to I want to just conclude with the next three the names because something very interesting now who signs this says the older son Dove better he became the next rebby right Ben obviously throw the Holy One but they would have been a snare salmon oh so here he writes for the first time the name Schneider sound the outer up his name and finally the third son Moshe beneath it's obvious each one chooses a different title look at the first one goddess Israel after each one says the genius but the Mickler rapper addresses his father as cottage Israel the Holy One of Israel you don't have that in the second one now you don't have in the third one now go to the second one from the master and Rabbi you don't have that in the first and the third and then go to the story of Malaysia he only says right but you don't have thank you thank you but you don't have Cody's throat then you go to the third one that much it says it I remember when I read this the first time I said why the change you know the rebel once had rested and the represent possibly each one spoke each one signed where he was holding at that time right it's 1814 they're writing an ad probation for the new edition of the Tanya so each one is somewhere in their life right right when you guys were in America that's a David was was a dentist whether he'll be a dentist narrative soil is to be seen right but if he's writing when he's a dentist he's going to sign with his you know either DDS whatever you call it or whatever you know what I'm saying so let's look at it the myth will rep in 1814 already became the new LeBron because the Alabama passed away in 1812 so he addressed his father not only as a genius Kardashian means anasia leader it's a very specific country throw right but only he does because he's the rabbit so since he is also now according to Israel so he identifies with his father as a color she slow the Second Son came of RAM he identifies his father as a going across you know why because he was known as a strong rob a rabbi there's a rabbit and there's a rabbi his he was he didn't become the rabbit right his older brother became the devil so what was he so he sees it his father the balatonya who was he calls him and finally the third Sunday he wasn't a rabbi in other words he didn't function as a rabbi he didn't function as a rapper so he but but he was going across it he was a a very Pious Jew so he identified as upon his Jew one more change the first the middle rabbit and the and the revolution the first and third son they call their fathers Zao a blessed memory Zion Lament look at the second son he calls his father why and the rebel also said the explanation is because he was known for his sitkus his religiosity in everyone was religious but he was kind of super religious so therefore one second one second what yeah exactly exactly Ultra Orthodox good good good yes amongst the sons of the three sons the rabbit says was known in in khabar Tradition to have a a a a special sickness to him a special religiosity to him therefore he identifies his father as not only a blessed memory but of the greatness meaning of special religiosity as well and I think that this this uh inside of the Reba which is beautiful is is very profound because it's when you write where you're at where are you holding today you know maybe in 10 15 20 years you'll be signing and differently because you are different yes Felicia question why it find it interesting that they wrote Sal or is it so we see amongst Christian in general there's usually they would write um you see usually more in like the litmish Community they tend to write it's it's it's a good point and a good question I don't know it it says what it says I you know Frank Frankly the reperashab is the one who started with this idea and the rep is the one who took it to the streaks in a way of you know like saying why you why are you pushing the red but the previous red but after his death passing why are you pushing him away may his marriage protect us may his refinement help us but you know that's not my that's not conventional traditional Yiddish guy Torah it's a it's an extra feeling and that ever had this in him we had this particular sense of connection to his father-in-law that went beyond the tradition so he employed but they're writing in the early 1800s you know before this was introduced but you you make a very good point Hillel you wanted to say something pillow he had he the outside ever had daughters I think he had a few daughters you know with varalea these were his only Sons yes and how many daughters did he have uh two or three I forget now and and I know that some of the daughters married into other Casitas alliances with others yes already a grandson of red nothing no rap nachman was a really redneck was 27 years his daughter I think married a balatonias a Nicole grandson and another one was competition the the you know the baby youth folks forget now and you know so those are Chernobyl you know they'll be a musical prediction if we don't have really that considers today and I learned something interesting today I I don't fully have it in context but that rib Nelson who is the main scribe of all of Ruby napkins teachings um he had originally been a hostage of the caduceus lady right right I I I I well but it made sense it makes sense because it does yeah it makes sense it makes sense I mean even even in his teaching I think there's some similarities to the maybe youths of teaching in in his safer and yes yes [Music] okay so maybe there is a production of a rebel but you know but I know that for 200 years I don't think there was a British of a Reba that was Chernobyl and bresliff you don't know that yes Maisha yeah just to review we spoke about this before but to serve you is there any issue today in the world that would be somehow making sure to uh somehow connected to one of the other uh sons of the summer said it none well let me let me just say there's a gentleman Baltimore charvik maybe Hilo knows him charvik and sharvic charvik who you know Chevrolet yeah so he's been releasing it look um my morim of some of the other sons of the samachariq so either his family I wouldn't be surprised was came from one of the other sons and somehow he has manuscripts but I asked he didn't make his own shoe and you know and um doesn't believe that there is today an active khasidis of those Sons so the answer is as far as I know there isn't but again but one second there are plenty people and I bump into them always both literature people and percentage of people they came that come from the Sun they were consider them of the other sons of the seventh that there is but if you're asking me but Mike if you're asking if there's a shoe as far as I know there isn't yes Hillel what um so I learned to say from again I have a uh from the ruby of kapas yes yes so and uh no but he's yeah I do not believe he he had an ancestor who was who was an early Chabad uh uh connected with Rabbi Axelrod in in Baltimore um and uh um and in fact he told a wonderful story that this ancestor who was a show cut and he used to um he used to serve a lot of the communities like going west for Baltimore so what he would do is he would ride the train going west and everybody would bring their animals to the train stop when he'd have a stopover he would check the animals and then go on it was just a great story uh the um the the what was also wasn't there a group we've talked about it I don't remember what they were called if they were in the Bronx oh that's the malachin the Malachi yeah stopped with itself is like you know he felt that the Chabad authentic not even with his sons yeah but that that's a whole other conversation by the way Rabbi Axelrod was a was a complete um so you know what I'm what I'm saying is the mugging of us the mother of us was a safe of the cupester one of the one of the son's actual grandsons of the semi said they because the father passed away six months after the summer setting passed away and his name was almond right the balmorgan office and he had the largest Chabad group of everyone and there's a lot of discussions in my book volume two Chabad portraits a lot a lot of details and um but it finished because when when when his third son passed away that's my yellow note schnerson who lived in babrest he passed away in 1923 his uh child his son and his son-in-law did not want to be a rabbit and I just heard this pair of Shoppers from a Jew who knew his son uh who knew his son in England he moved from there to stroke people don't know to England he lived like a nomad and you know when everyone left the Jewish neighborhood at the East End in London he lived there and um someone brought him food and supported him and the rabbit made sure that he had a prominent burial in a hush of a section in the in one of the cemeteries there and the rebel demanded and that they write and came he's called upon shock banshak means a son of the Holy ones and the rabbit this person told me his father Rabbi Rappaport was his name was the rush die in in London the head of the president got on the phone well Robert secretary called and he said please make sure to put the appropriate title on the matseiva even though the reper said there are fools fools who didn't treat him appropriately when it came to England I don't know why there must be a story but he was a son and he didn't want to be red so basically the dynasty of couples ended it ended once it ended they started to come back to the shop and and and and and the previous rabbit and that's why in 1951 there's a secret the rebel said they were fighting in Manchester there was an old Compass the shoe for the time when there was a compass to remember and they were fighting and it was not nice vicious fights okay I mean you talk about you know the statue fights now in in Manchester and the rep is said what are you fighting for everyone has come back and become president of the previous rapper so if you learn the compass the tire and magnanovas great but there's no Compass to rep anymore so what are you fighting about but you know if you have it in your blood and it was it was it was at the time it was a very very you could say a very nasty disagreement unfortunately yes yes is working in 19. no that's in fact I discussed that also with some of his grandkids just a few weeks ago not exactly he he he identified he identified with wearing the long garments and things like that but I don't believe he was an official malach who who is the question about it is a family Chabad called Zircon one of them actually lives yaakov Zircon is a sofa in Baltimore you must know emilil yaakov circus so he's a son you don't recall he's a son from the one join us is speaking about elieza circuit who was the rebel Cipher and he also made from beta Tom's film for Elijah Feinstein so he would shift his own cows make his own wine I mean you know he didn't trust anybody and he was a he was him and a cipher and he put on as a young man you know the long Garb and and a hat up and so many people think that he was a malach I don't think he was but he related to that okay uh enough history this morning Maisha is cruelly well I you know it's about a chef anyway we learned the approbation and so tomorrow we'll start the introduction have a great day encourage other people to either see it on YouTube or come and join us shut up zygous bye-bye great day thank you
