so we're learning now Tanya today we're
at page lamic gimmel we started chapter
two days ago
and yesterday we learned
that
a person could be
Muslim a complete could refine himself
in
thought speech in action
and
additionally
properly
facilitate their faculties
in a way that makes the person develop
a true love and awe for Hashem
which is what the altered
taught for 25 chapters
in chapter 26 the altareva begins with
the word baram however the implication
of the word means
that
there's something that comes from God
from Hashem on a kind of unexpected at
times
and it interferes with our avoidance
Hashem even if
we've refined ourselves and that's what
it deals with in chapters 26 through 34.
life's issues
and he he laid the groundwork
that in order to succeed
in removing
sadness and melancholy
and laziness
and loneliness
and egotism
and any in all kinds of maladies that
plague a person
you need to be you need to have simcha
without simcha in your life
your avoid this Hashem is going to get
stuck
so of course you can it doesn't mean you
shouldn't try but he's he's giving us
kind of the secret
the secret the key
to succeeding is to develop simply in
your life
I once mentioned that
that Tanya is not a safer of Musa
someone has their thing on please mute
yourself
for Musa
you learn English
and those foreign talk about Meadows
refining your middles
your character that's not Tanya Tanya is
a book of cities a book is about didn't
come to replace Piercy of us it's it's
it's it's it's simply factually wrong
came to inspire a ye to know who the Eid
is who the nashama is vis-a-vis his
teachings of khasidism
to the outer rabbit who was a hasid and
hasid and when the lines in the ways of
the Magid and the percent of
says the same thing
nevertheless this middle of simcha is
the only one that he tackles and he
tackles it for nine chapters
and why
because
simcha is relevant not just to one
particular area in your life it's
relevant to all areas in your life
if you don't have simcha you have ego if
you don't have simcha you feel down at
times if you don't have simcha you feel
lonely at times
so that's why in order to
deal with the outside interferences as
alluded to by the word baram on page 64
the first word of chapter 26.
which alludes to those outside
interferences that disturb us
says for this issue for these issues
which are real
we need some
and today he's about to continue and
finish the first part of the chapter
which is on the lot the third line of
Lama gimmel
and it's the last uh ubiquitous last
word on the line third line
um
says we see clearly a specific
clear verse that the Torah says quote
impartial I believe
since since you didn't serve god with
simcha therefore the curses come upon
you
interpretation
what's going on here
when you when you learn the the the
possible the Tita
simply speaking why will there be
punishment because you didn't serve God
that easel says no you did serve God you
did you were an avatar you did serve him
you worked but you were missing simcha
your Aveda was missing simcha so even if
you serve Hashem in every detail of
Yiddish kite of taina but you're missing
simcha says there is Al that's when
plagues and maladies and punishments
will
be upon you
simply speaking that's where you'll
you'll get you'll get messed up
you only please you mute yourself
so now that comes and says what is the
solution
right we have a problem
he said we have a problem
I'm davening that I'm learning
and
I'm upset
about
this or that let's see what this or that
is and let's see what his advice is so
let's go
the word ASA means advice
why the double language a I believe it's
a it's a quote from
sick I don't recall now where or it's
based on a posse but more so it means
the advice of all advices
in other words I'm giving you here very
important advice so the way to express
it you double the word
beginning
the advice of all advices to purify your
heart
call odd safe
from any and all iota of anxiety and
worries hey Alma from worldly matters
that bother you
and we don't mean that you got a flat
tire
because if you get
worried that you had a flat tire uh
you don't come to the outlet for that
it doesn't make any sense you know come
on you're a big boy
so what type of of room what type of
issues are real and real worrisome and
anxiety ridden that the altareba does
address I feel who even let's continue
but
Children Health and sustenance those are
real
right
what are the big three the three R's of
of yudiskite Shabbos
casuals
right for a woman
casuals Shabbos
keeping Shabbos we all know I reflect
back to my days in Marin County the
hardest thing I felt was to get someone
to keep Shabbos
casuals was pretty you know
was doable the woman with McPherson if
you if you explain it well and you have
a nice mikra it's doable
but to get someone to stop driving and
to walk the shoe that was a battle it
was it was difficult it wasn't easy
because the person doesn't live there
and they want to be part of Yeshua and
they like you and that you like them and
they like the congregants they like the
congregation but they live eight miles
away
what do you do then oh I have a bed for
you come for Shabbos I'm sorry you know
my wife's not coming and I don't want
why I want to be home so Shabbos was
always a very difficult thing
but nevertheless that's that's real so
too so too when it comes to issues of
life that are worthy to speak about
because they really are Troublesome at
time and anxiety ridden and worthy of
discussion the altered says we're
talking here about children
issues with our children
higher issues with our health
um
these are Staples in our life these
aren't luxuries
so if one has diagram immediately in
other words you see the words have the
worries me middle of the alma from
worldly matters worldly matters can mean
you know uh Grace I have to get to to
bait and Elite in time and I don't know
if you know what I'm saying if I'll get
there in time and I'm worried that's not
what we're talking about here
that that's uh that's not even worthy
mentioning you know uh come on either
get up earlier or or whatever
that disturbs you and avoid this Hashem
are issues that touch upon your children
your health and your sustenance
so the altarebin now says gives us a
recipe and I want you to know that this
is a very very uh fancy recipe fancy in
the sense that it takes a lot
okay
this recipe is not a segula you know say
five times this or read the shallots
Fila on Tuesday of parcels
this this isn't out there ever this is a
real
fancy
difficult but important and real recipe
and let's see what he says
it is known to everyone
the saying the teaching of the razal
gomoran projas quote
for just like you're supposed to make a
brother when something is good for
example a good wine a real good wine you
may cut over native
says the gamada so too you have to make
a brother when something bad happens to
you which and the brother is
passed away
so the question is
the gamada seems to imply
we should we should we should
it's the same shame just as just as you
make a broken what's good you make a
brother what's bad
says you're right you don't make the
same broker you make two different
Brokers but the attitude in making the
bracha when something bad happens which
is Diane Ms should be the same attitude
when you make a breakfast for something
that's good
expresses that idea in the words
just as when you drink a good wine or
you make a broken table native you're
happy about it because it's so delicious
and so good so too
you should have simcha inside your
nishama inside your being
when you say butter you know because you
truly trust God knows what he's doing
now of course we don't mean this you
should go you know this does to
contradict the laws of Shiva and
mourning we're talking about an inner
content that you know as much as it
hurts this is God's will look
that one should have
in accepting God's judgment
should be like one like the simcha that
one has when something is openly and
apparent good
and why
because this too is good and everyone
else knows that quote and all that
however
is
the only thing is it's not apparent
they're not revealed to the physical
flesh to the physical items unto the
eyes why not
he he because this
good comes from what we call the alma
discussion from the concealed World
Shala Milo which is greater May almad is
Galia the revealed word world in other
words introduces the concept of kabbola
here what we see here as bad is really
the ultimate of good
but it's too great to come into the
world so it shatters the world
it and and it's revealed in a way that
we perceive as negative
and the other ends
in the the name
hashemke there are four letters so UK
represents the Judas
Bina the valve is me those the six
medals and the last K is
it says in Kabbalah that the first two
letters of Hashem is representative of
the two
and in comparison to medos and malcols
this is the alma discussion the first
two letters because it's cons sealed
it's hot it's too great to be revealed
in the world
whereas is lower so that's why we say
that youth caves from Alma discussions
so for example just for a moment
a teacher teaches you
and gives you a lecture if the teacher
condenses it to a way
which you understand guess what you're
not getting the essence of the teacher
you're getting it because he's speaking
but you don't really understand the way
he understands it right but in order to
communicate he needs to lower his
intellect in order to teach it properly
foreign
he's created light
Joseph
and creates Darkness now wait a second
which World Avi is great higher Bria or
yitzira Avi what do you think
three is lawyer thank you so if brie is
higher it shouldn't say it's a say boy
or
and it shouldn't say yes
has anyone ever thought about this every
day you've done every single day of the
year we say this
is
does explain it because it says
because like Avi said Priya is a higher
world than yet so the revelations of
Bria are too high for this world how
does it express itself through Darkness
it's dark meaning we don't have access
to it
said the world of yitzito which is lower
we have more access to hence we say
and that's why
which villain do we touch when we say
yes
when we say Yates
we God the yard
we do the show Rush
which is a logically more caducea has
more Holiness The Rush has more
conduction than the yard right we have
our local Cipher here
so that's the shot
why do you touch your children by Yates
because it's lower
why do we touch our children so Rush by
Boyer because that's an experience from
a higher level but because it's higher
therefore the way it comes down is
so these are examples that to explain
this concept over here in Tanya that the
youth came being that it's the the the
two first letters of God's
tetragramathan the name of yutuke the
name equal 86. it's much greater and
much higher but because of that the way
it manifests itself is through not being
seen it's not near the Nicholas the
Alton ever since
so let's see how he develops the thought
further possession caused him back into
the text possession
it says in the Posse fortunate is man
who's been
punished to yaselena
UK
why does it say yes
because punishment is Surin torch pain
those people
that accept their yes
upon them the first says when the verse
says the following it refers to those
that accept their their assurium
quote the oi above and those that are
beloved to him to beloved to God says
Hashem it's similar to when the sun
comes out
in its potency when it's very hot
so in other words
when it's very hot it's uncomfortable
says the plastic but that's when you
have the intensity of the heat from the
shamish which alludes to Hashem right
so normally there's a there's an Arctic
there's a cover on the on the sun and
therefore it's a little cooler so there
hasida says that's when you experience
Elohim
covering up YouTube
when Hashem takes out the sun in the in
its potency meaning without the cover
that's the youth cave being experienced
over deluke and who gets that the oyavov
and the and and the person calls them my
beloved Hashem calls them but I have of
my lovers why because they love me even
in the state of
a logical
reason
in other words he gives us some thought
he quotes the verse the verses now he
says
why do I have simcha
Abraham why do I have simcha from pain
why am I happy because you have simcha
from God's love that he's showing to you
kirivas Hashem that that you're the
closest to God yes
more than all physical matter
you can have goshmias and more goshamis
and you think God really loves me
says the other in chapter 26 you know
when he really loves you when and if for
whatever reason
your macabo your student
that show and that shows that you really
love him not you love the goshness
in other words how do we know when
someone loves Hashem
because of kashmias how do we know
how do you know that's genuine and the
answer is we don't
we don't the proof is in the pudding you
could love it's easy to love God when
you have the goshmias you have ulum has
it but when you have your suit him and
you and you love Hashem what is that
show that you love him
because you can't say that you love you
love the situation
the situation excuse me stinks
it's terrible it's painful awful
so if someone is in that state of your
student and he still and he loves what
does that show that he's he's his his
Ava is because he is Hashem he's with
the UK not with the rough cake he'd
receive as it says
quoting to heal him I think it stays
here or whatever
not to this year says
it is better for me
from Life what does that mean
I'm alive Maisha I'm alive
I have everything going fine I have life
says
than life based on what we said before
it makes sense that you accept Hashem
even
be assuring even when it's no good that
shows that you really love him not you
love the situation
says and this closeness to God is more
or my link case and Adam for thine item
greater the alma discussion the
concealed world
for over there is
the strength the potency of his love the
Yasha Versace said alien and he sits in
the conceit of superno concealed State
Volcan and because this is your attitude
towards God
says Hashem is therefore you will Merit
the person who's in this he has this
attitude to Merit that the son will come
out but with us in its potency law
should love him Shia Comes
The Sun Will Come Out of its cover of
its Shield
which is right now covered in the
physical world well the answer then in
the future
tisgale it will be revealed miksuya from
its cover that I know
[Applause]
then will be revealed the concealed
world the Israel and it will shine the
yard and to illuminate
with the great manifestation
to all those that Shield themselves in
this God in the physical world
and they Shield himself in God's shade
referring to the the shade of wisdom
Supreme sale which is only a shade
listen a shade when the sun is baking it
creates something is shining it creates
a shade so you would think that a shade
is is ancillary
it's not the sun itself it's a shade
that's the point he's making that in the
shade which is in the darkness compared
to the light of the sun that's what you
have the essence of God more that in the
in the in the revealed state of the sun
well meshiach will come both will come
together you'll have the sun coming out
without its cover and it'll be it'll
have it all now before we go further
what what do we understand from this
what do we understand from this it's
it's a very heavy heavy recipe and I
told you
it's a heavy recipe because
a person a normal person
has a hard time accepting
accepting sorrows
you know
and yes people say especially God forbid
when someone is ill and you know towards
the end of their life
you see you see you see sometimes people
that are able to accept their yesurim
their pain
their end of life situation
with more simcha and some with lesson
but I think and and
here I think what what catches me is
thou tebra's logic has um
where he says
that that those words in that line is
the philosophy
that that
gives us the ability to appreciate
service
if if if if one knows and again we know
this because I mean we believe in me you
don't believe you don't believe
but if you believe
that there is a higher world
there's a higher layer of of reality
and normally we don't tap into that
reality
what we experience daily and weekly and
monthly and yearly is the
the doings the makings of of the world
everyone in their every every situation
and then there's a situation where God
so for his infinite wisdom like if
you're going to ask me why Dr NEPA
doesn't address why you know why because
he's not God that he does and you know
no one knows why
you know you will know Elie wazel you
know said and the rep also wrote it in a
letter
anyone tries to explain and justify god
with the with the Holocaust
is a fool like you know
they say the satma
in the 48 49 one of those years he went
to see the previous rabbit
shortly after he came a few years and
the previous step was still alive
and he said disparaging words why God
brought the helical Holocaust because of
the assimilation in Europe
and the free the calabas I said again I
wasn't there I heard I heard
that the Frida Krampus said don't try to
justify God just
just be quiet don't don't
you know
but but but so why why this happens that
a person who's passing away has to go
through suffering pass away
you have to suffer
and and and you know what we see and
what we hear
you know of suffering is is terrible is
it's really it's it's it's
so unbearable
and yet other people pass away without
suffering
but the nakuta is not that the isn't
just suffering just Holocaust IC is
a mother is shocked I mean
any tragedy
what did she do that at 42 years old she
shot murdered and leaves over three
children what did she do
was he such a big sinner
I'm sure not
she was I'm sure he should sedakis a
righteous woman
we will never understand that and even
if we try to understand it
where we're just foolish we're going on
the wrong trajectory we're going to be
very angry you know so the outrepe is
one second he said give me one second is
not dealing with the why
like I always say if I you know I would
write a book with a title don't play God
don't want to be God just just leave God
to be God but nevertheless what happens
we have a right and an obligation to to
understand in the sense of what can we
do with it so the outlet
just now tells us when we have anxiety
Amazon and Children Health and paranosa
which are real not you know everything
else which is foolish
you know you get anxious about this or
that come on
for real issues says
for whatever reason God is sending you a
very high Revelation and opportunity and
wants to see if you are in love with him
or are you in love with what with what
he does for you
so this is a very you know it's
it's like wow you're telling me if I
cannot accept God's punishment and God's
throwing me the curveball then my entire
Avada really is an expression of my
egotism
that's in a way what comes from these
chat from this these words here and
that's why it's very very
you know heavy now is Sir go ahead
yes sir I just wanted to share and share
I shared it with mosha that I think
Emmanuel said uh never let a tragedy go
to waste and you know it's true in
politics but it's true in Jesus Christ
too and you know so we have these
themes of sneeze and technology and lace
shaples and skirt lengths and so every
time there's something there's a cold
Korra or there's a kinos or there's a
and and
so Moshe says like what's what's the
midst of our generation is uh how about
being nice to each other but the there's
there seems to be this need for people
to say oh this happened because of and
so and they use that as a uh as a
soapbox to spray whatever message they
they want to spread
okay the flavor of the day yes whether
it's uh shaples or technology or but I I
I hear you and and I'm still you're
saying but but I want to ask you
you know have you have you have you I
mean this is not the first time you're
learning this how have you processed
this how I mean this is this is you know
this is a serious it's a very serious
piece of Kanye here which which deals
with our reality you know this isn't you
know I'm not gonna dive them better or
not to have them better
we can hear about
when we have a situation which is
very Trump worrisome anxiety reason
how do you accept that how do you deal
with it says
Hashem
are you interested in the canvas of
Hashem in other words if we don't accept
that this is Hashem I can understand why
you would reject the argument but if you
do accept that there's a UK and a wolfke
you know there's another reality another
dimension what we're saying here is that
when there's trouble this is an
expression of of a higher reality
that's that's a heavy heavy thought
and frankly
I'm not sure if anyone before the
autorabba said this in the way he says
it
in other words you might say well we're
looking to uh you know the rambam and
ramban and
he's not just saying it as a Muno I
wonder that's why I'm trying to explain
over and over this isn't just a Muna is
making a logical argument
are are you are you in love with God or
are you in love with yourself
okay Heaven I have to I have to go to
another
see everyone tomorrow okay have to go
bye-bye take care foreign
