i want to just review something that we
said yesterday that we learned look at
the beginning of the second paragraph um
the first paragraph
is
it's known that evil is the time when
the 13 attributes
of rakhamim are revealed
yesterday i did not explain that that
itself that line itself is a question
what's the question before we get to the
hub and there
so i want to i want to make sure that we
learn correctly the text
the question is
if ello had is the revelation of the 13
attributes from god's perspective then
how do we say that l is a cerusa de la
tata
what we learned till now we we pointed
out very clearly and elaborately that
the month available is about our us
approaching god and initiating the the
um
the relationship
so the altered now
says here he asks two questions
the first of which is wait a minute it's
known in kabbalah
that hello there is god's revelation
called you give him a so who begins the
the process of eloh not us but god
that's the first question how can you
tell me it's it's a russell de la tata
we begin the relationship we initiate it
when in kabul it says that it's begun by
god a vis-a-vis shining into the world
the thirteen attributes of rachel
that's his first question
oh
no
okay wait wait stop for a second
let me say the second question and the
second question is
there
if
the second question is if we accept and
we understand that that
that l
god shines the 13 attributes so why
aren't they holidays and shabbos like we
explained yesterday those are two
separate questions but they're both but
it's two questions regarding your
question
but i i said it they'll say it again
when you when you talk about the
comparison between tishrei and nissan
nissan is is is uh isa
is the oral it begins with god and
tishrei begins with us
but here in the miner he's not talking
about the comparison between tishrei and
this and he's talking about the
comparison between evil and tishrei
yes yaakov
as far as l is concerned right that's
the that's the question that he's asking
that's what he's asking here since
there's the if you tell me that hashem
shines the youth
in himself
okay
did you understand what i what i just
said
i think so
it until here
we began with the process
implying it's a cerusa de
he's asking a question what are you
telling me
if it begins with you giving me this
harassment which is
that's his question
moshe's question about nissan is not
just we're not we're not we're not
discussing this in here
so
if you want to talk about real
let me answer your question another way
if you want to talk about real
estate that's nissan
the real estate
that it is listen that's true
so
this
is not the realist
that's the answer to the first question
what's the what type of
delay list do you give us
it's just one that makes it possible for
you to
[Music]
work
to accomplish
in other words you have to be
what i call in the zone
the timing the location
all that is created by the cerusa de la
elah that's there for the purpose of
this russell tata but the the main event
of elo is a suzu tata not a serosa
and the fact that this is um
is only there as an aide
an ozar
a help
to put you in the right place at the
right time but if you don't work
nothing will be you can have all the uh
the you'd give a seraphim shining all
day and all night throughout for 30 days
and it means nothing to you
because this month is the month of
accounting in other words let's talk
about a business let's talk about a
business
if you don't make if you don't make the
uh
of profit and loss statement
even if you have
the best accountants and the best
lawyers and the best advisors if you
yourself on the ground don't
deal with it
there will be no change i see this in my
in my in my book
work and book business you know my what
i write them right
i can have the best product
but if i don't
advertise and and market
the books
sits in the basement
it ain't going anywhere
i have to get up and that's what i'm
doing actually these weeks is marketing
my book i rub yoyo
right i want the book to sell i want
people to read it i want people to to
understand
and all that and to grow and avoid this
hashem
right so i have to spend time and lots
of time
on the other hand
why when people get a mailing uh a
booker up yo i should get 500 orders in
a day it don't work that way
especially when it costs money
especially when it's a little more
expensive than the average art school
book
so you gotta you gotta work it it
doesn't you know there's no quick fix so
but
i got a good product right so the good
product would be analogous
to the cerusa de la haila
the month available we have a good
product available which is
opportunity for growth and change and
all that
but if you don't take the bull by itself
and work with it
nothing will be
okay nothing will be
now you might say well if that's the
case
what's special about
ello throughout the year velvel it's all
just the same thing
if i don't dive and i don't learn and
all that
no
the answer is
if you're not in the right timing when
this you're giving me this
shining there's almost so much you could
reach you can't reach more because
you're limited
let's give another example i uh i hope
you'll um
appreciate this and tell me if i'm wrong
but you're you're a physician and you're
at a certain hospital
and you are you have your knowledge and
you're a surgeon and you know depending
on what hospital you're in
you you accomplish more or less
because you know there's a brooklyn
hospital and there's nyu and nyu and
columbia presbyterian and cornell
top your hospitals
and i've been to all of these you know
at various times and you see a
difference in the quality
so sure my mother's physician dr dimitas
who already passed on was was was a
tremendous physician a tremendous doctor
really great
but he wasn't a pretty crummy hospital
i don't want to say but um
not the best hospital
so how much can he accomplish already
so he could accomplish as much as he's
allowed to accomplish given the
environment and what he's provided
you take the same position and you put
him into a a john hopkins or another
major uh facility which is known to be
very progressive and modern and and
works well with the staff and everything
as a world to recognize your hospital
the accomplishments will be much greater
well using that as an example
it's quite a shallow and the and you
give them with sarah coming
tells us that we have the right
opportunity in the right location at the
right time
but now you have to make it happen at
the same time
if you work hard to make it happen and
from god's part he doesn't lend a hand
there's almost so much you can do
so that's why
there it's necessary for there to be a
serious
that precedes this
but it doesn't take away the fact that
the main available
is it
okay now
the altered will start answering this
question this is now uh the the last two
words on the fourth line on page with
aleph
of the of the of the paragraph
now p marshall
that altitude says will understand an
answer to these two questions based on
the famous mush on a muscle
on a parable the melee there's a king
here
before he comes to the city
joitsin
the people in the city in in the city
here
that the king is coming to this
to this to this this king is coming
and lacrosse
they go to greet him on the cobble
important with southern but guess what
they don't greet him in the city
why don't they greet him in the city
we'll talk about that soon or to the
next year
they greet him
in the field
and why
because
he says i don't want to meet you in the
city
i want to first meet you
in a
field i want to meet you in the
wil wilderness outside
in the city i'm sorry in asada
look further look at the
cable in part of this
and they receive his face they greet him
in a field
and then
anyone that would like is permitted lord
says
to go out to the field and greet him
okay now they're in the field the
greeting the who
he the king
met coppola's coulomb
he receives all the people in the field
they'll save upon him your face with a
beautiful
face with a smiling face
and he smiles and laughs at all of them
in other words
he's happy to see them
and now he's finished meeting them in
this in the field whoever came out to
see him and
he returns back to his palace which is
in the city
they love this king so much
that he took time to meet him that they
decide to go back next page top of your
base
and afterwards
when they come to his palace
they do
and even amongst those are only those
that are the of the choicest of the
people via
and very privileged individuals
here ends the muscle okay the muscle
finishes here
so to repeat the muscle
we have a city
and we have a field
the king comes from the city
to the field why
because he wants to greet the people and
he knows
that the average person will not be
coming to the city i'm sorry to the
palace
although they live in the city with him
they know you can't get into the to the
palace
so he decides i like my people and i
want my people
so i'm going to go out to a place where
it's a free for all and everyone can
come
and you don't need to be dressed a
certain way and behave a certain way you
can be as we say yiddish
afraid feigl
yakov translate what's a friar feigl
mean
yakov
your fido
a what
a free bird no exactly
and it's a in english it doesn't really
but in yiddish it's a beautiful
expression a friar feigl a free bird you
can do whatever you want
so
you don't have in the in in the palace
you're interested you have to be dressed
a certain way you need to make an
appointment and all of that
in the field the king says you can come
day and night whenever i'm there i'm
here to greet you
and when he sees them
he doesn't
see them
with his garments because he also comes
into the field this doesn't say in the
in the muscle but it's explained to the
memoriam of the the rebbe
he comes into the field
dressed like them
because if he were to be dressed like
the king in his palace they would feel
uncomfortable
just like last night probably some
people felt uncomfortable seeing me with
my black robe and my hat and they're
just you know dressed weekdays and i'm
dressed more shabbos right
so the dressing itself
and the demeanor
and the pr and the facial expressions
and the body movements
the king says i gotta be like these guys
so he dresses in his golf course pants
and his sweatpants and he's one of the
guys that he's wearing dungarees and
jeans and shorts whatever he's doing
and they're having a party in the field
and he says what can i do for you and
this one says i need parlour so this one
says i need this i need this connection
yes and all that
and then it's time to go back to the
palace he can't stay you know he
he comes from the palace
so he goes back and they love this guy
they love this this he's like one of us
he really is normal he's not this holy
roller because look at him he was he was
just with us and keep it singing and
joking and having a good time
well he goes back and when he goes back
he goes into his palace the door doors
locked behind him and now you need an
appointment and you need to dress up and
you need to be better
and then he says wait a second you can't
all come in i got to know your
qualifications i got to know that you
don't have any guns to kill me
i have to know that you're normal and
everything else
this is the mushroom
let's look inside let's learn the
inside and then we'll explain if there's
time
if not next week
the
in the field
a very brief
almost
unexplainable at least in words
of how the moral fits the
the parable you have a muscle and you
have a nymphs
look the alkareb has spent about i don't
know 20 25 words of describing the
muscle the parable when it comes to the
moral to the nimsho
it's it's 10 words or so
and and even those words are kind of um
esoteric and secretive and cryptic
how
is it in the nimsho
that it identifies every iota of the
muscle
there ever spent 42 years
taking apart this muscle of the
alternator
and it's printed
and some people have actually given out
published um
countries a pamphlet with all of the
rebbe's explanations on this muscle
but briefly very briefly now and the
next year hashem on monday not sunday
will elaborate briefly
is analogous to the king returning to
his palace
to get in
and and and your kipper and then the
other cog you need clothing it's yum div
you need a schaefer
and you need to fast and you need to
dance and you need a sucker
i'm sorry an adult an answer it
right there are conditions
you can't just
come naked it doesn't work
but the month of ello
is not weak it's not
holy days that's the answer to the
second question
it's like analogous to a field in
comparison to the city and the palace so
the palace would be like shabbos and
yamcha
is analogous to the weekdays and that's
why they're weak days
and they're not jumped in shabbos
because if they were young
the average person would say how could
how do you god expect me to do truva and
do the work of ello when you're putting
conditions on me all month
it's enough rashford yom kippur and
sukkos and sinclastera i have many
conditions and barack hashem
it's a great month of holidays but
nevertheless
you need to have there are conditions
prerequisites
ello is a free-for-all
there's only one thing you have to do
evil
show that you care
how do you show that you care
you have to go out to greet the king and
guess what
that the king cannot force on you
because everyone has free will
right just like in the muscle bevel in
the muscle
look at dr ebba says he says
that
the king goes out to the field
but if but then he says everyone has
permission
but if you don't utilize the permission
to come visit him in the field you're
going to remain on your couch in front
of your television or whatever you're
doing at home or at your work and you
ain't meeting the king
free will is never removed from a person
it's a
a truthful
tenant in yiddish kite in judaism
and it never
is removed
and therefore
there's one thing that we need to
initiate during ello
which is the serus of the tata of cabala
soil get off the couch and off the chair
and go out to the field
but you have to say that
if someone else says it to you and
forces it upon you it won't last you
have to want to meet the king
and for that you need to realize that
he's the king but he's also he's the
king
in a field
although i told you before he's dressed
the way we're dressed
and he he doesn't you know have those
same restrictions as he has in the in
the palace
nevertheless who are you looking at
you're looking at the king
but he's the king in the field
and if you don't recognize that he's the
king in the field you're not coming to
greet him
right imagine lehigh the president comes
to your city
grace whoever
right if you have no respect for him
he could be the president of the
resident you're not going to visit him
dalton says here in the muscle and so
it's true in the nimshu
the
elo is the time that's why we emphasize
it's
the emphasis of l is we have to initiate
serving god
this is the month
if we don't initiate it we're going to
remain in our house the king can be
jumping up and down making somersaults
in the field
giving out money giving out blessings
and we don't care
and this is what the outfit ever says
this is the month of ello
so what we what we're left with and what
we go into shabbos
with is
there's opportunities now
don't squander the opportunities that's
the
that's racing
we've
we've been taught
that there's 13 attributes of mercy out
there now great
we've been taught the king is in the
field no
what are we doing about it
that's l l is the time when
you have to
like i told everyone yesterday it's nice
to bring and have wings and whiskey and
it's all wonderful
but you got to do something about it
and what i suggest as we go through elo
come
at the conclusion of elo
take one thing
that needed correction for the previous
year one thing not more
and work
make a resolution
to work on correcting that whether it be
procrastination
whether it be anger whether it be
ego
whatever
something in character
and so too one mitzvah
one myths with that
we were weak in either assay or los ese
and work on that this month the next
three weeks and so you come to ashland
kipper you you have something to present
to hashem hashem
this issue of character i i i thought
about and i will really want to work on
changing and improving and so too with a
certain mitzvos assay or mrs lowe's
essay and and if we come into rashad and
yom kippur with this i'm i'm telling you
that
it's it's cavalry it will help you help
your your spouse it'll help your
children your grandchild your friends
because it's concrete the rebel always
said
he quoted the russian
language that velvo can tell us
means the axe
to the wood is that correct volvo did i
say it right
yeah
i mean i heard this the rabbit hundreds
of times
which means hasidim would repeat
you can have an axe in one hand and you
can have a piece of wood in the other
hand if you don't
apply the axe to chop the piece of wood
so you have smaller pieces to make a
fire the axe remains in this hand and
the wood remains in this hand and says
gournished nada plume
nothing
but i have an axe
another piece of wood but you don't you
didn't apply yourself the hacks to the
wood
so the bottom line that i would say is
taporo da placo apply the axe to the
wood and you'll have results
however everyone should have a great
shabbos shabbat shaifdim
and
it's the the shleshim of rabbyoyokon
hello he passed away valve of
so say the high end for his nashamah's
name he had one
yoyo ben rafael nachman hakohein
his father's name was
man they were kohanim they go back to
the full hamburger of the sixteen
hundreds
ben ahab
son after film one half the pedigree
goes all the way back
and referral nachman hamburger rebel
fall hamburger was a follower of the
vilna going
but he became he was introduced to the
balchemto
and he um
did not sign on the excommunication
against hassan
he was impacted by sin he didn't become
a husset
but he he became he was he was moved to
the point that we would and he would
refuse to sign and he was a big man
and he was a big lintvac i mean to say
with fish electricity going
so they say that bureau's family goes
back to that to him um
so anyway it's inflation in the shovel
shaft and aliyah
and uh there's gonna be a big zoom today
uh
on online and monday night they're doing
the whole thing in brooklyn uh with elon
musk i don't know i i would imagine
