Ani Ledodi #5 Likutei Torah - 13 Attributes of Mercy active during Elul helping us make changes

and he goes to the field and here's the question my show what do you mean we are city people if we feel comfortable meeting the king only in the field when the king was in the palace throughout the year we felt we have no relationship with him just let's picture it this way you have a rabbi you have a teacher you have a professor you had when they come into the classroom dressed with their you know tie or formal clothing or cup butter or tie and shabbos and suit and all that there's a little distance that's created between the macabre and the teacher and guess what it needs to be that way if we don't have that we have chaos the teacher if the teacher is the proper teacher is on a different level meaning to say that the person is involved in in the more scholarly things and and hopefully more nicer medos and on and on nevertheless this great teacher and genius decides i i i really i'm not i'm really not bonding i've told you many times the way to the way to have more success with teenagers is you got to bond with them and bonding means you know eating pizza together bowling together strolling together losing together hanging out together becoming friends and that's what we need there's not enough of this today in the school system in the yeshiva system the girls school friends there's rabbis there's teachers the disciplinarians but we don't have friends i don't need friends between each other that there should be a mashpia a madrich a supervisor who acts as a friend to the student and by doing that it breaks the the seriousness the stereotype so what happened when the king went out to the field he broke the stereotype because we were used to thinking of a king with horns a king you know in a palace a king that's totally removed from us we have no association to the king and here we see that the king can have a good time he can go into the field he can keep it he can schmooze and guess what he really is like one of us in a way in a way he's really one of us but then so we from our perspective we also feel good but when he goes back meaning when he goes to rosh hashanah yom kippur and he's back to being a king if we ex received him properly in the field then we can also have a relationship with hip with him now in his palace why because the truth is that we are also city people we are also neshama people we are not driven by our bodily needs we are driven by our soul needs however during the year it was difficult to materialize our soul needs because of the who the who of the world all the issues disturbances and now we have peace so now after this cleansing coming not with conditions it's weak days it's not shabbos it's not yamtiv and hashem says i'm going to give you during these days something very special and it's called the gimbal [Music] the 13 attributes of mercy not as they are during the day today in the morning we said the 13 attributes no no no no that's a daily request for material matter and important but we're talking here about the neshama the month of ello is about focusing on the shaman you have to knock this through your head this month it's not about asking for more gosh miss even of course we need gosh means to live but the focus is this is the month of luchnius ask working like i told you it says espaneka i'm gonna he's gonna say it soon you say twice a day now i search i want your anemias if you really want something do you just make a phone call or a whatsapp or an email and uh and you just go to sleep or you pursue it you pursue it it has to be a bikush a real because a real bikush is since i'm coming from i'm looking for the panini is the inner aspect of yiddish guide of torah of hasidis i'm going to pursue it and then oh and what gives me that kayak so i need a kayak i mean i've been i've been in a daze for all these months hashem says i'm going to reveal to the world and to you 13 attributes of mercy that are special for elo and they will help you focus on us and that is why we say anila deity vidi lee the deity league and goddess to me is also part of the acronym the russia davis anila deity daily equaling uh acronym ello because in l as much as we say the it it it begins with us the initiation is through us arousal from us from below nevertheless we need help we need help in other words you have to go out to the field to greet the king right but what gives you the intelligence to go out to the field sometimes if it's your wife saying go go there make you know make an attempt go there sometimes it's a lead sometimes it's um a friend but there's always a trigger here there's always a trigger that is there to aid you that trigger we call is we call that you'd give me the sarah so let's now begin looking at this on page 14 you dialed the second paragraph as he has it here and also the torah hashem illuminates his face illuminates subs to elecha to you you know this is part of the birkhaus kohanim that we say in yamcov and there's israel some say it every day this is the emanation the revelation of what we call the 13 attributes of god right here yoni the al-taraba teaches what is the purpose of these thirteen in ello it's not for my health and my wealth etc the gas mias but she upon him upon them you see that's why dr rebbe adds those words here upon him upon it the focus of the you give me this during ello is different than the focus that give me on every day the focus is she upon him upon him we should have a face-to-face relationship which means pneumonias this means there should be a revelation of god's inner will the mockery shall must israel to the source of jewish souls to jews by us making our inner drive only for god let us get by to cleave to him believe in nephesh with heart and soul may um cut the libra from the depths of the soul be messed up with self-sacrifice so in other words when will the you give me this if we show paninius you know moshe the arizona writes that if a yi dedicates himself to what sadiq and does it with musira's nephesh that sadik's soul would be will be impregnated into that jew's soul and they'll be able to do things they never were able to do before and if you wonder why this 25 year old lucha coming out of crown heights he didn't go to harvard and yale and oxford and he's able to rally around people and to put up the buildings and and all of a sudden he's you know and he's a and he's a a young kid because if he's dedicated to hashem vis-a-vis in this case that's you know to do the abrasive work of sliches that sardic soul is impregnated in him that's what it says in the arizona i didn't make that up so when we're talking about having the paneemias of hashem illuminate us we have to be paneers towards hashem if we are superficial is an external don't expect a previous response it's tit for that the the rule you get you get what you pay for you get what you invest in how much you invest that's what you get that's same as your children and with business and with every issue in life there's no quick fixes if you know anyone that thinks there's quick fixes it's only temporary because it's going to fade away but what you invest with kayak and anemias will come back to you in epidemio's dick away and that's what he says yeah continuing the horozoo and this emanation of godliness kale it comes from the name of god kale right which is the first of the 13 attributes um their source and their generality now there are different cheetos they're different opinions which is the first the 13 needles some say it's a shem hashem but the altarebe here is is is following the opinion that the first of the 13 meadows is kale this means that god himself the infinite god ain't suff he himself should illuminate us take for example a ray of the sun that comes from the sun ball itself [Music] generally speaking is there a difference between the ray of the sun and the sun no so anthropomorphically speaking the the the emanation coming from god's face metaphorically speaking to the jewish people comes from kale so velvet what are we saying over here in simple english that although kale here is amiga right it's one of the 13 meters so you would think that the meter is limited right because a meter means what does the word meter mean a measurement yoni mida is a measurement meaning it's measured to a specific aspect of godliness so what does it mean that it's if if that's the case this is what the altered is responding to without question setting out the question which i'm which i'm sharing with you so why don't we say that that kale represents premiums if kale is only a meter a measured a measurement limited that's why dalton ebbit gives us the muscle here of the ray of the sun from the sun is the ray of the sun joining us in a ray yes but we have the famous rule which i'm sure you'll remember you're innocent or main humble or the sun the ray is similar to the source of the of of of the of the sun of the light or more please write that down or and knock it into your head the r the reflection is main is similar to the mar and how is that bevel how is our main amor the sun ball is so powerful and that's why we can't handle it we need a r we need a nomination a reflection that's true but the that's the how do we say that's the commons the quantity that the quantity of light is much less than the quantity from where the light comes from but as far as the quality is concerned the ingredients of the light has the exact same ingredients as the source from where it comes which is what to make light there's no difference in its objective the only difference is how powerful it is this amount of that amount but as far as the token the content or in other words [Music] what it is in its objective and ideology is the same or mayenham and that's without ever saying here although it's kale it's the it's already measured but the token of kale is paneemius so therefore when we when we ask hashem and hashem gives us the 13 attributes beginning with kale we know that in this scale there is the same quality as god's essence and that's why kale is able to connect to the paninis of god which is what we're looking for the pneumous yes you're innocent you're just the scale what oh so again that depends on if you begin with hashem hashem being the first of the meters if hashem hashem is the first and the second of the middles then kale is rasamin but if here dr eva says kale is the first of the 13 meters so it would be and look he's going to talk about that soon i'm glad you asked that but wait a few minutes okay let's continue moshe israel what's his royal mean israel milotian sarcal sarkal means the master of kale so the word for for a jew yoni israel the word itself is sarcale the master of kale what about the youth of the word israel this is a beautiful interpretation [Music] the youth denotes the constant activity it's not he was once sarcale he is in the present sense in the present tense sarkeel the master of kale kamoi there's a verse so job does and that's a positive there right so in other words it's not that it happened was it's happening now so the youth the hebrew letter you denotes present state and and harris and and and and this as it applies to our discussion of east of kale scale whose sorrow most shall be cured by what is israel one second unit that the kale is a sari only is the master that dominates and rules the jew the real essence of the jew is the high news yes what we continuously being the mentor of god correct that's what we just said thank you the hindu [Music] where do you where do you find the sar kale i mean is this like you know kabbalah show me says the altar i'll show you yes every single year it has a locus a ma an actual spark of hashem [Music] that sustains and enlivens his godly soul um and it naturally um gravitates the milo above to the light of life limbs why is it that a jew is willing to give up his life for god because the jew has a neshama an efficient kiss and that nephew shallow kiss is animated by israel sarcasm and it's continuous and that's why the previously ever yes velvet yes go ahead i'll go to trump so uh tail is the essence of the jew he's talking about that the kale is the knit suits of the nephew of the midsole the spark the jewish spark which we call the nephili kiss yes in this in this discussion he's associating kale with nepheshello kiss yeah that that's the yeah in other my murray it doesn't it doesn't use this term of kale you understand but because he's discussing here okay so what's gonna could that i want to make you know you know when we learn these words you have to understand that how that every year has an ashama we all that's something we always we always hear and understand but this language is is unusual and and and however since we're talking about avoid of elo and when i when ayden looks at himself and he says how can i do this how can i do truva it's i i i have so many issues going on and you know and all that says the altar you have kale kayla shem the first this month hashem gives you access to access your kale your your your spark and your spark is you yes you'd saw kale the kale controls and dominates you in a constant way as represented by the youth and therefore the fact that you gathered lots of dust and issues all these months makes no difference because the true essence of a yid didn't change just like the sunlight the ray of the sun didn't change in its quality and objective from the sun bowl from the source of the sun it's only a quantitative difference not a qualitative difference and therefore says defeat the crabber he was standing and the bombs were flying in warsaw where he was in 1939 when the war broke out and he was next to eden he says who didn't put filling on and didn't keep shabbos they were far from religious observance and they said shmaya sro where did they who told them no one told them to say my israel they automatically said shmaya's role that says the them this is because they have a neetsu cello key every year it has an it's still a key and when triggered it wakes up that's proof that it is huge sar sarcasm not that it's god forbid not there you know in in in certain communities they talk about a non-religious jew as a they call them guyan and it is so foreign to to to basic judaism forget about hasidic judaism but every ye there's a year even if that yield is is far from it someone asked me yesterday a question um what's what do i say about the um the uh the situation where jews are are are are are mamish doing things knowingly against judaism against torah are you to have obviously thrown to them so i said the altar everybody addressed it in chapter 32 and tanya and he says you love your soul and you hate their their the the the the act the act is wrong but then the summer is pure oh this is a big job how do you separate the person from the behavior aha but why don't you look at yourself and when you do something when we do something wrong we are able to somehow say that's not the real me the real me is good the real me is whole he's connected i just did so about yourself you're able to separate but about the other one you can't that's hypocrisy and what's the answer the answer is just as it's true for you it's true for them is there din yes there's then there's law and order but that doesn't take away from the essence so this all is part of israel says the altar here let's continue inside second line the this sensation of gravitating to hashem with self-sacrifice transcends knowledge and rationality because if you approach god with wisdom and and knowledge and that's all and that's all you use you cannot comprehend this experience here to completely be subservient and kind of make yourself ownerless to god mccall the call before you as well from everything for god no i can't i'm limited i'm not ready to jump into the fire so if you use logic and say who you will come to a dead end and you won't be able to overcome you want to overcome you've got to come from the summer from soul that goes beyond sachel say who can go only so far and we need to pursue logic and say home but we have to pursue it in a way hillel that sacral itself said that sacral itself says i am limited and what i need to do to to to accomplish what needs to be accomplished is faith the leap of faith and that's another thing that we're missing today i see you know what you do and everything the leap of faith yeah you're not going to figure it all out anyone that thinks that they can figure it all out as a i'm sorry to say a big fool you're not going to figure it all out because cycle is limited you need to go beyonce yes yes halo no i was i was waiting for the next line oh next line a child is the foot of the father [Music] which who is incorporated in the will of the father without any rationale just like a foot shabbat and the foot doesn't have any independent will it goes wherever the head tells it to go [Music] in order for a person to be illuminated with god's inner essence you need to unknow all of your own wills you should have no other will except god and this is very very hard my friends who who is willing to be a vatel it's it's a life's journey but the altered is saying like this that the first thing before you think about implementation is you have to understand it and once you have done and once you understand it then you have to make a resolution a decision i want this so the first thing he does is explain he bill he he explains the the build up the sarcas you have it within you then the next thing he says is okay if you have it within you so get give yourself over to god completely completely without conditions oh that's very hard i told you why right why do we have two days rosh hashanah and one day yom kippur rosh hashanah is about submitting yom kippur is about forgiveness forgiveness is easier than submission the hardest thing is to submit it's so hard to do it someone else's way right your wife's way your employer's way your rabbi's way no i have my own way of understanding i'm not willing to give up myself right that takes two days it takes a lot of 48 hours once you've done that your keeper is smooth sailing it's worth sailing because if a person can submit to hashem and truly submit then basically you know you're going to do what god wants so a bank here another a bank i won't bank i will ban a bank five times ten times twenty ten it's all semantics because the core essence has been created you are my boss the avinu volcano the avino volcano in london is is where it's at and that's why when we when we're going to say if you don't volcano focus on that you don't need to you know people are rushing i was telling someone all the shoes went rushing and rushing and happening and happening say one line and say it with kavanagh i promise you it'll be like your davent for four hours but really say it with kavanagh and think about it as it's in your life and this is what al tadab is saying here so of course if you only read hillel the last three four lines over here of giving battle returns um you know you say wait i can't do that that's why doubt that ever preceded in the paragraph to tell us that we have something inside that makes it possible to experience this because it naturally gravitates dr ebba's language earlier on um where is it over here he says lim the first line the last two words on on on on page tests [Music] the necessary kids its natural habitat naturally is like the mushroom the the the fire that jumps upward do we have to tell the fire you're in a sin i want you now to jump upward and now jump to the left and now jump to the right it's automatic [Music] then the summer has an automatic desire to be with god you don't have to tell it anything what you have to do is take away the blockages and this is the message that we conclude with today is the blockages is what we have to get rid of this month ello's about getting the stuff out of the way get the stuff out of the way and you'll see that the summer will flow hasidim would always say they would say that sadiq will already know what he needs to do and your connection to the tsadik will be great if you just don't get in the way don't get in the way that's the avoid of heidi's elo to get out of the way and let hashem who put an shama into us do it's tough it's job which his job is i'm ready to give myself over to hashem you know and and when we we learn about these things and we think about and we reflect miss buenan you gotta reflect this is not again this doesn't come from couch potato reading and and pizza and falafel and and ice cream and frankfurters it doesn't happen it comes from lots of work and it's hard work it's hard work but that's why we're here we're here to work hard otherwise take a trip to the angels go there but if you want to live you want to live on earth and you want to make a home for hashem here you have to know it's hard work and even the successful person is always trying to make this deal and that deal everything is is complicated everything is is hard but that's that's what hashem wants hashem says i really like that so embrace work embrace the the struggle that's that's that's one of the main kudus in the tanya the altareb is embrace the struggle now you ask a regular person you say i want to learn freely no bothers just let me learn my air-conditioned room and my friend if you don't learn where it you don't understand the shot in the toastmas and you can't go to sleep because you don't understand that that and you know then in your world of learning you're not committed fully you're not battle retrained color at sinai because you could go to sleep with not understanding what those says and for you that's your work i just they had a clip this past uh uh mata shabbos 1973 purim hai and potak shows up at the fabregan his wife was from crown heights high import i interviewed wife was a crown heights girl and i think an orthodox from an orthodox home and hayen himself came from an orthodox i think he was he came i don't know if he was late maybe lit he was i don't know later at the end if he was fully orthodox but but he definitely came from orthodox orthodoxy i mean he definitely belonged to jts to the conservative movement um whether he was a bashabis in all life i don't know anyway let's say let's give him discourse that's how he was for his neshama so the rather you gotta you gotta see this clip it's online now the red is talking about a writer and the rapper is talking about books i i i really identified with him the rapper says that even if you write a good book and a person or two or three enjoy it and you feel i've made my mark says that rapid's not enough and they and then they zoom the camera in on potec and you see he's like this he takes his glasses off and he's looking at the red and he's listening and he he understood yiddish you know and and the rapper is like demanding and the represents not enough because if god gave you a talent you have to use the talent to inspire so many more people and therefore is like chopping away at everyone but of course he was probably the main reason why the rebels spoke about it because the rebel knew that he was at the fabrega and what does that say it's the same idea here's a man who has booked the chosen was was put into every public school and in so many like i remember when i went to his house in marion station pennsylvania that's where he lived and i interviewed him there it's an interesting story one day i'll tell you how i got that interview was it was not simple i had to use a little karma because it was right after the river passed away in gimel thomas and in khabar there was this whole controversy about mashiach the rep and all that and he was aware of it he was no he was no fool so he said to me initially uh i i just i i just leave me out of it this is like nuts just leave me out of it and i told them i don't think this way i don't believe this way and and you know and i'm writing a book about the revenue it's after his passing and it would be for his neshama and a person like you is a universal jewish leader and on and on so he says to me let me think about it you know and usually you know what that means no and so i'm saying and he says call me in a week so i'm during the week of saying how am i going to get him to change his mind because i know the answer would be no somehow someone told me that a brother of his name shimon was very ill or i mean he told me he actually told me he can't think about it now because he has to he's dealing with his brother who's like dying and was very ill and when i heard that i said to myself during the week i'm going to tell him that i i will be master him at the ohio i'll get his name to the and and on the other hand is does he really care i have well as soon as i told him that not only did he answer my call within minutes i left a message that i would like to mention his brother at the oil for a forshalema he answered his phone he sent me his name right away and after that he said i'll i'll give you the interview nice yeah nice story nice story nice things about both of you you have to you know you have to use your cycle a little bit you know sometimes to understand the person and and and to me this other but but what what about why am i telling you what the rebels spoke about you know it occurs to me if you were at that talk of the if you were at that talk of the rabbi uh he was talking to you too i wasn't at the talk that year but he i heard it uh much of shabbos and i know about the sikh of course no question about it no question about it and the point is it's a it's a talk what i want to bring out is the idea of avoider working here is a man who's accomplished so much and his books already all over and and you know people are becoming aware of the jewish people and then as i said when i went this house i saw maybe 20 25 translations of all kinds of languages of of his of his book and comes to the barbecue 1973 and gives them a sense and says it's not enough that was our river that was our rebel you understand so heaven it's quite the shallow it's quite the shallow when we learn these things that animates us it gives us more hires to to go and today is the eighth available to help everyone should have simultaneously and we'll see everyone tomorrow bye i'm going bye north a few days okay enjoy enjoy your tribe and drive safely [Music]
