day to everybody to a is Masha and
anyone else that's watching us or will
watch us we're learning getes sacred
letters letter
page is explaining here and sharing a
letter which he wrote to the
m who read in the in
1793 that Hashem rests within AI
how could that be it's
heresy so they excommunicated once again
the comes along to
defend and the B holy B and he prefaces
by first introducing the idea that anger
the kazal says it t to mount to a to
idolatry and he explains that the idea
of anger is a denial of God's of God's
existence and he elaborates at Great
length about God's existence creation X
Neo etc etc now we're at the point where
he goes back to the anger issue and he
will then conclude with resolving the
the statement attributed to the B so
let's learn
inside when do we
say when do we say that Dr brought in
the short paragraph before that mha got
angry how could mha have gotten angry
and Al says that's
by by in Godly things yes there's a
place to get up
angry when it comes to prohibitions but
in human matters in matters of uh
humanity and and and stealing and and
things like that and things that you
know uh ripping off and this person rips
him off and she rips her off and and all
that stuff there's no place for anger
and then he says
now when and even and even the anger
displayed by MOA which we say is
Justified when is that true when one has
the
ability that they anger will make an
impact on the person who he's angry at
of
but what if he doesn't have the ability
to now this is the the the teaching of
the
B that the M were upset about the AL
does not cite it in the name of the bov
you will notice that and I'll tell you
why because he didn't want
to it to come out of his mouth that he
has to answer the BTO by citing the B
kind the B was outrageous in his
statement so he doesn't even tell you
that the B said that but this what what
we're going to learn right now is the
the piece
in that the them were upset about what
does it say over
there you're Ding and a guy comes over
to you you notice he says a guy he
doesn't say he some SHO comes over to
you and disturbs you in middle of
DAV why did allow this to
happen this is
only it's to make you stronger to with
more more intent more
power with more depth of the
heart and with such such great kav
to the extent you won't even hear the
words of the njw the go that's being mol
with you that's disturbing
you so the AL is saying here that if
that if someone when it comes to anger
and and getting anger even for a Godly
thing it's only when you could when you
when your anger will accomp something
accomplish something when when your
anger won't accomplish anything then you
have to realize that why the person in
front of you why is he bothering you
he's an agent of God he's there to make
you stronger let's
continue to to have this level you need
a a Great Awakening a powerful movement
of of awareness of God
[Music]
is it's interesting it's found in Tanya
numerous places it means the advice of
advice it's like powerful advice not
just you know if you want it take it you
don't want to leave it
no powerful advice that I'm sharing with
you for this arousal
he it's from very thing
itself pay attention
meditate why would the the Divine
present descend and morally
speaking and it descended in a wondrous
way for a spark of its emanation to be
vested it's within Exile within Clippers
generally
speaking to give Life Force to the
negative extru
forces number one we
have the the clipp the N being Mish and
the Clippers in general here it's in
this guy while you're ding it's it's a
whammy Upon A Whammy
right cuz General Gus is from the
Clippers now within this situation it's
like a gus
with and
continue in in a more specific way the N
enclos itself in the in the conversation
of this n of
this which speaks to you confusing you
while you're serving
in it disturbs
your as we said earlier one is opposite
the
other so in other words if there is this
idea this is the point of the negative
Force enclosed in the go disturbing you
from then there must be an a corollary
opposite positive idea and what is
that this holy
spiritual superal debor of
Hashem it invests itself in the lower
debor he quoted the verse
before which literally means
that man dominates over
man it's to his bed and the AL explains
the
when you know that the yat or har has
clothed itself in this guy standing in
front of you you ain't going to let him
beat you you're going to knock him out
saki why you going to do that because
you know you have an ability to destroy
him
it's if you do what you have to by
overcoming a the
disturbances not only you D but you're
causing in this case bad for the ciper
which is
good which is important you want to
knock him
out causing you to D with greater from
the depth of your heart
till you you hear that is it you'll D
with such you don't even hear his
words now
addresses the wording of the look
inside and and regarding the words of
the
compiler he used the
word that Hashem is sh in the
go you have to look it up and see but
the language used in is
that
abides in the go while the go is
disturbing you and for and that was they
couldn't handle it they said can't
be so the AL says regarding the specific
usage of the word that's upsetting you
guys and said and you're arguing that
it's
heresy says basically you're
right and that's not what he meant but
he didn't know how to translate the word
in Yiddish that was said by the B into
Hebrew in the in yish in the language
Yiddish
and not in
Hebrew so what did what did the mean to
say
not
buta what's the
difference slapa means a garment vested
a garment you go in and out it's not
that
it's not a ptic
experience means it
abides
rest turn turn
off it's not from the word no not at all
no it's it's a different
word this is
[Music]
shin
sh sh
so sh okay it's two different words one
ends with a shin and one ends with a s
two different words Al is saying that sh
implies abiding
meaning Hashem is kind of interested and
gets involved in in in dwelling and
making a home in the go that's heresy
it's not
true but that's not what that's not what
the B said
what word should he have used the the
one who wrote The Who compiled and put
together and wrote
cabish andish means like a clothing
right you put on a sweater when it's
cold you take it off and it's warm so
Mish has the implication it's there and
it's not there
meaning it's not the pus it's not I'm
not excited about it I need to do it so
there should be free will for a person
on and on let's continue
inside implies that the situation is Gus
so is implies it's not Gus I'm happy God
rests God wants to dwell in the go
that's
heresy but to say that hasem doesn't
rest in the go Hashem just dresses
himself up through the go to disturb you
to make you stronger that's fully
acceptable and true cuz that's what Goos
is look
inside if you look this isting what it
says
in specifically if he
is the G if he's an idol worshiper a non
Jew right so the comparison is to a
non-jew are we going to say that a
non-jew has the pemus of hasem in him no
it's only his it's only his
slap from the from the word le a garment
it's here today gone
tomorrow this type
of experience is a great goost stop
that's his brief answer answer to the
question if he says M you have it all
wrong and it's not your fault I
understand you have a legitimate
argument based on the way he wrote the
word but he was not precise in his
translation of the Yiddish he wrote it
in Hebrew it's the wrong
word and that's it now it's interesting
Al you might ask how did the AL know
what the said he wasn't there to hear
him
if if I can't tell you how but if the
says that he knows that the B didn't use
that word guarantee you that that's the
case I mean I can also explain it but
not now but for for the average person
learning this piece of you have to trust
the AL you don't want to trust him then
you go to a philosophical explanation
which will prove that he had to use a
word in Yiddish that was not the that
doesn't mean in Hebrew but
rather let's
continue one shouldn't
wonder if a spark from from a reflection
amation of the is
called so that's the question if it's a
spark why do you give such
to the spark to the point you call
it why because
implies that's what he's saying why
would why would the use the
word if usually
implies says don't that shouldn't
concern
you because we
find even an angel which is considered a
creature a
creation right it's not an emanation of
God it's a creature as
says is called in the name with the name
of God we attribute the name of God to
an
angel as thean explains
and he it's referring to an
angel and how do we say how do we
address the angel shame the name of
God say you look in you'll see many such
verses which we find an an an an
attribution of God's name to an
angel next page top of page 2682
the the the way they're using the
language is not
precise it refers goes back to his point
to to to investment
of they do not have the faith
they don't have the faith that's brought
in what does it say there if you want to
make a
distinction between the spiritual
forces to the physical Idol
worshippers says this from the arel we
there's nothing more Caporal more
physical material than the the dust of
the Earth
as we said earlier there's the
investment of the level of malus from
this level to that level all within the
physical Earth the point being that
there is
AAP and and the if
if it were if it is if if because if
your issue is that how can the
spiritually contaminated Souls of the go
of the idol
worshippers says that says um their
souls come from a derivative of the the
zuk the the the the composition of Z Mal
the six M and the Mal of the negative
side
let's he
summarizes what is the source of their
T the spiritual
aspect however in
truth we need a a broad elaborate
explanation how does this investment
take
place
says not upon us is their
complaint in other words Dr is saying
basically I the belto we got it from the
ARA and if you have a
complaint is Sir send an email go
toas stand by the Cav and talk to the
AR maybe the AR will reveal something to
you but this issue of
isap in Clipper
and how exactly it takes place Dr says
I'm sorry I took it from the AR and you
know if he's telling them you have a
complaint you have an issue with that
that go go to the arel but I can't I'm
not here to to make up stories
and the one that hears this don't accuse
me did I understand how to extract the's
words from the physicality that he's
talking about there's something called
this is very important
called when you learn especially when
you learn you need to
extract the spiritual concept from the
physical imagery
of means to extract M from the word GM
so the AL says don't accuse me of
lacking of of of lacking in extracting
because I don't know it that's what he
says here and he
says I only come to explain the words of
the and his students referring to
the based on the teachings
of although we don't find this concept
the difference between andapa in the
teachings of
Caba which is concealed which is
esoteric for God
himself it's from the what's revealed to
us and our children I from our teachers
the in the name of
the to be to believe to trust with
complete
trust an open verse
qu the
world now this is very important to know
what the AL is talking about here is
that God is in the world and that ssum
is
we spoke about this at
length right the contraction of when
hasem contracts his light there was a
between
the
and
if he's alluding to that over here and
he's
saying when God contracted it was only
in the O in the illumination not in the
illuminary which is called the mo the mo
never was impacted by the simps so and
that's what we're talking about here the
mo is
here and he quotes the
verse God says I fil means god in his
very essence which is the luminary not
the
illumination is
here the
G this is
the simple faith that all Jews
have and they have a
tradition from the holy
par who served god with
sincerity without challenging
intellectually so you hear that Andi
human philosophy and
challenges The Godly the concept of
godliness because God if you understand
is transcend
so asking these questions and trying to
come to a an intellectual answer to
prove this say but Jews had faith
without
that and they came to realize God is
Transcendental that's his point so
therefore any answer you'll give you
still can ask a question and the
ultimate answer is there is no answer
because God doesn't need an answer he's
transcendal
transcend when will we have an
answer it's beyond beyond logic to know
how he FS the
world new people come along he's very
harsh in his language he's like he's W
him to snag him and he's telling them
you guys are the new guys on the Block
until now there's been a the ab and in
the way the ab creates the world and no
one had a problem with it
he's turning the tables on the M he's
saying you're complaining that we're the
Heretics we him and he's saying without
saying that you're the Heretics cuz
you're challenging the existence of
God so he turns the tables on
them if you do want to have a little
entry of understanding these things you
must preface the teach teachings of
the and which extracted from the
physical so the AL is saying when we say
that when the B says that hasem is in
the go that's challenging you you have
to extract that and understand doesn't
mean it's dwelling IND dwelling
abiding it's only in the slap that's
that's the way this all fits together
and he
says the way I heard from my teachers
I can't explain this any better in
writing I can communicate it from mouth
to
ear that individuals will listen to it
continue next
page and to those that individuals hem
calls them kind of special who take an
interest The Searchers Seekers of God
will understand call
everything and and the opposite is true
that those that don't that don't in you
know think this way and and and and
interest themselves this way you'll
never get it so the AL is saying I can't
explain it better in writing and
therefore if you those that are
interested will come to see me and will
speak oneon-one kind of and and and
you'll hear it from my own it'll be
clear let's continue and finish
do says you see now only one saying from
the known books referring to the for
example for example a
sign says there'll be more questions
that you'll have on such statements but
those that
know Etc you you'll have an an answer to
a lot of these startling statements that
seem to be um heretical or not
understood if you just read them at face
value so this is a
plug this is a plug for the study of I
know he says but he means that the study
of will open up your head in to
understand many of these startling
statements don't hope I'll explain
everything to you in a letter he repeats
himself very difficult and very
abundant
impossible if you
want he's writing to if you have more
questions he's saying about different
statements in and other writings send
one of your representatives to me
someone who is a representative and
distinguished amongst the community and
face mouth to
mouth speak to him and clarify it and
hopefully he'll bring back and explain
it to
you this is like a humble
blessing wishes may God be with my
mouth as I drip out the words that hasem
should bless that my words should be
correct and should be explainable and
taken the right
way and may be spicious the sayings of
teachings of my mouth
