a good night of shabbos everyone pasha's
ki sisa
top shin pay bays
we're in the month of valdar
it's appropriate to prepare ourselves
for
purim and this other vision and purim is
not a shiny but
preparations are necessary
so one of the things that khasid is
talks about is this idea of amolek what
does ahmadi spiritually mean
and the various different explanations
given in the my moral discourses the
cosmic discourses of the rabbi and with
lebanon
but one of the
things that stand out in my mind from
the previous setup is my murder
and it's on the eclipse
of our shield him four times a week
uh quarter to eight to 8 15 every
morning monday through thursday and on
youtube etc
is the idea of caulkite apathy
amolek is the miracle equivalent to
suffolk doubts
when
amolek
raises doubts
it causes apathy
it causes count kite it causes
a
a lack of enthusiasm
and excitement
the question is
what is
appropriate enthusiasm what is
appropriate excitement
we're still in the year morning
so rabiot had a famous saying that he he
would say repeat
he would say
important when people tend to
get intoxicated drunk and make
themselves silly
and they would come to the oils table
and that was there plenty of times both
as a booker and as a married man
i would say at times when people were
acting uh were rowdy he would say
les de nares kite leave the nonsense
tartish above
fortish above
and
vice versa
the
seriousness
of tish above
use ampura
now
you you're probably wondering how could
that be
purim is a frailer day a lively day
liveliness doesn't mean stupidity
liveliest does not mean being
wild
meshuggah
vulgar
drunk
in a way that's
foolish and making a fool out of
yourself
liveliest liveliness means
understanding
the great opportunity of this day
and
intoxicating yourself with the message
and that's the way this explains the
whole idea of abdullah
we should drink so much important that
we don't don't know the difference
between barack obama
or human being
between curse be i'm gonna bless be
modified right
what does i see this explain
it's a state of mind
that when you learn so much tighter and
you learn so much
and you become part one with it
you transcend come to a state of
transcendence
so the bureau was saying
to the to the rowdy
bacharam and others
you want to make yourself foolish and
silly
do it on tish above because tish above
many tend to become morbid
and and depressed
and they think the more they could cry
forcing himself to cry
the more godly they are
of course if it's if you cry naturally
that's that's holy that's special
but to make a
uh a condition now we're going to cry we
must cry and you'll keep her if we don't
cry
i'm sorry on anticipate if we don't cry
at this above we aren't mourning the
basa amigdas that's a fallacy
it's the total opposite of really
mourning the base of mikdash
and the same is true with porter
put in if if one needs to say i need to
consume a bottle of wine
or a half a bottle of vodka and if not i
won't be lively and i won't be able to
celebrate there's something missing in
you
of course
says the code says go to jerusalem
and say for drinking and saying i'm
falling asleep from the wine
we know all that but it's the mindset
because then
you go to sleep like a hasidic
shaker okay
now what's that famous vert it's a
famous
right he quotes all the different
animals and he says
get up in the morning as mighty as a
lion the famous verdict is if you go to
sleep like a lion you'll get up like a
lion if you go to sleep like a horse you
ain't getting up like a lion
you're getting up like a horse slumber
and sleepy
it all depends on how you go to sleep
if you come into purim like an
intoxicated
behemoth
and you're not sensitive and you're not
and you're not refined
and you're all full of only ego then
the outer trimmings of of of of
alcohol
and and partying and and noise and
everything else is not gonna do it
it's just not gonna do it
it'll just make you more ugly
and
when you wake up from your when you
become sober you'll realize
what a waste
besides you'll have a hangover for a few
days that will really mess you up
so
when we talk about
other
we talk about simcha
it's important to dance it's important
to sing it's important to be frail it's
important to show a happy
face to another person
why
because this is what a jew is about this
is what taylor is about this is what see
this is about
they would say
that if someone smiles and it's because
clipped the back and clipped the back it
means pinching the cheeks
back in her cheeks clip means to pinch
the pitch
if you clip the backing
if you pinch the cheeks smile ha you
want you want to smile this way just
pinch this cheek you want to smile the
other way pinch this cheek
the whole idea is absurd it's false
and yes we say
you're fooling yourself
so
we're in other
hashem we have 60 days
of simcha we need to
make this a true experience
and when we make it a true experience
especially through learning citizens
when you literally see this
one of the famous
ideas is that if you learn enough
citizens you won't fool yourself because
you'll realize that you're fooling
yourself and they'll say i don't want to
be a fool.
learning this
every day
a little more a little less learning
some questions
going to a sheer exodus listening to
online to hashing
but real cities
not
watered-down cities you know there's
couch potato cities you know you're
tired
you lay down so you take a storybook
you listen to something that's all
that's good and important but that's
when you're
in a couch potato position
we're talking about you want to motivate
yourself you want to make a some
movement in yourself
you have to study it
and and you have to dialogue about it
and you have to think about it and when
you walk you think about it when you eat
you think about it when you sleep you
think about it it's in your bloodstream
that's what the true learning of this is
about
and that's how we we we get to
experience real simcha
real simple is not about the nipple the
back and pinching the cheek
and and real simple is not making
yourself foolish
real simple comes from an inner
contentment that could that you realize
that hashem runs the world
and
don't think you're the center of the
universe
and and god can can exist without you
et cetera et cetera
and this is
what other is about
aleph dar adar alef dar alef is a luffy
shirley the master of the world
who dwells adar is about the aleph
dwelling in you
not you telling the aleph how
he
should dwell
then it's not about the ableist it's not
about god it's about yourself
so
let us continue
talking about these things thinking
about these things learning about these
things
and bring true simcha to ourselves
families and communities
to the ghoulish lama the court of mamish
