Ani Ledodi #6 Likutei Torah - How to deal w issues we failed in throughout the year - Be Honest

we're learning we're learning the mayama anila divided the mimer which is known and spoken about and learned by eden not only chabadnix because it addresses a very important issue and the issue is what is the theme of evil you don't really find much in jewish writing to focus on on l in the sense of an entire thesis and this mimer does that so it's uh it's it's an important mimer for seeing the entire l and of course how we we we are involved and how we benefit and how it's an important prelude to the high holy days so we've been learning about that you'd give me the thirteen attributes of mercy and this mayam adult rabbit says the first of which is kale hashem and the altarebu says that kale happens to be the name of god that's also found in the word israel israel and the al-qaeda explained that israel is comprised of three words [Applause] represents has modas continuity you know one of the most difficult thing for many people is to be consistent from raising children to keeping a job to being inspired about your rabbi and to keep your wife and not dump her for someone else all of this needs continuity consistency and this is a difficult avoider so the altareb in the name of kabbalah and khasiddha says guess what each one of us has a yud because we're jewish where you still so the fact is we have to know that it whether it's in our consciousness or in our subconsciousness we have youth we have the ability to be consistent and this is very important because many times we convince ourselves because of difficult situations that um you know we're transient we have to which we change we're not the same we were and the tata hakadasha the holy tata says contrary to that as far as your yiddish kite is concerned as far as your judaism your neshama it's continuous the entire time and why is that did you have ever ask yourself why is that because god is continuous you just stopping today the blessing of yoser or before krishna we we we lord god who mahadish he recreates from anew every day behold you're incumbent the word comment is there constantly continuously the bria the creation x nilo in other words it's not that hashem created the world 5781 years ago and hashem is omnipotent and he's past present and future so he put such energy energy into creation that the the creation the world is riding on what he did 57 81 years ago that's a mistake that's wrong every moment he's recreating the world because bria is to me the youth is con is constantly and this has many ramifications this thought in in in life in in yiddish guide and in many in all areas if you are if we understand this thought and by the way this thought is one of the primary meditative thoughts in habakkuk citizen those few words you will see repeated but in the seven in the memorial of the seven rappers over and over in different words in different ways but it's all the same based on the same the kuda the same point because hashem is the use is is constant so he put in the bria consistency and so we yidden who are his his people the chosen people the eden israel we also have that because he's that way so he gives it to us if he wouldn't be that way we wouldn't have that and then um consistency would not be an expectation of us as a reality in the in day-to-day life and i i want you not you know just to to really think about this not now but you really as you go into elo and tishrei it's a very very profound not it's not my thought so it's it's wrong and it's powerful and it's practical and it answers a lot of issues and then we need to implement so the alternate says israel what is consistent sar kale that the kale hashem the name of god that illuminates us [Music] as we say is the master and and if you and if you stop and think about this idea of you'd sar kale it's phenomenal because it's saying that you can't control the situation because you are ayid you are able to overcome hillary every person but more so in this case every jew has the kayak within themselves to overcome addictions and problems all they have to do all they have to do is tap into their scale israel 30 seconds you said that you can control you should or cannot can i didn't i'm sorry can the kale which is the jew is sar he's a master and it's youth it's constant so what the jew has to do is reveal the kale within himself and then they will overcome yes he will that also goes along with the idea of the name israel correct you know you overcame you overcame correct and this is what we learned in yesterday's sheer let's continue now on page high payroll [Music] how they are present during the month of ello and we compare this to a king in the field cells says the altered you need to know that there's three things there's a field there is a city that's inhabited moshav and then he says that's so to the field or midburner desert and he says these three things and he's going to explain now the next two you know the the the mid bar and the ear because he already spoke about the sudden in the sense of how it all comes together with the melody yes hilo so is uh is the implication that sad and the midbar are kind of the same quality no no no wait let's learn the text absolutely not good question but the answer is no bodhi what is a desert velveo and it's liza rua it's it's ground it's earth loyal that's not planted vegetation doesn't grow there right shaheem what is that spiritual mean hamas is the act's speech and thoughts that are contrary antithetical to god and needless to say in pogam myself a person blemished a thought in his thing in his thought speech or action in the sense of doing something that's forbidden he thought about something that you're forbidden to thought think about or spoke about something that you're forbidden to speak like russian horror etc my son acted in a way that's against hashem then that definitely there's no vegetation here there's nothing good coming out of it the fact that you could do you need to do truva and rebound and sometimes it's greater etc etc that's after the fact but going into the situation a person says i am going to sin now so i can become about the shiva you give them a kick in their pants and you say you're a damn fool i'm sorry it doesn't work that way you don't start to begin with saying i want to gain greatness in godliness and unholiness and the way to do that is to tempt myself i'm sorry it doesn't work that way and by the way just for a moment if you came across writings of of of the ishbitsa would seem to imply otherwise you're not understanding what he says properly that's number one and this has been rewritten about by my friend that the professor don c november university uh he has a great article and he's a great hasidic scholar uh a scholar of hasidism he's not not yet and a good friend and he he underst he he studied ishbits and other citizen and he wrote a long article i cited part of it in one of my books in a footnote um in which he explains that this is not what ishpitzer meant number two number two even if someone wants to argue that the issue consider um you know does mean this type of activity it's definitely only for sadiq not for the average person and by the time it's it's what i told you a few years ago a few weeks ago it's the concept of elevating the middles which the altered brings in the beginning of chapter 28 and the alter route that ever rejects that approach for the average person and the alternative says you can't elevate the the inappropriate middles of of love and lust and things like that and you yourself are sinking in quicksand and because we're we're quitting because we are in quicksand in spiritual matters and and dealing with these meters how do you expect to elevate it you're sinking you're fooling yourself yes yes emotion you could grab it up at that point can you elaborate on that for a second because very specific like it sounds like it's it's out it's like it's like i heard one someone say it's hard to have a spiritual experience if you if if the garbage needs to be taken out in other words like you know if if certain certain basic things are completely out of like chaotic or not mr dar how could one go to right right so you're asking about like sur merava saito first do sur mera get rid of the evil the bad and then do good there is room for that no question about it however what i've could i mentioned before something entirely different it's not what you're referring to you're referring to basically clean your act up become a mensch you know stop sinning and and and and go further and even there the rabbi and chabad and and not just but other ideologies and philosophies of judaism of torah uh don't believe you should wait to clean up the entire uh your entire self to start putting on film in a mezuzah because um you'll never get you'll never get to be completely clean and it's a whole discussion which i i don't want to go into right now what i was identifying is a particular idea that's brought in this forum of the market of miss rich where when a person has let's say a feeling of lust okay so that they he suggests if they tell me that they suggest take that feeling and and meditate on god on loving god i mean that's a that that's a whole it's called hallowa sammy elevating the the middles and and and to that the altered edmond chapter 28 take a look in the beginning of 28 you'll see that he he rejects that anyway let's go back to the text so the altered says here that needless to say if the thought speech and action are are are forbidden they definitely are what we call a desert right they're a desert there's no growth coming from them hello but however i feel young things that are permissible however they aren't necessary you don't need to drink coca-cola sprite if you can drink water but you drink coca-cola and sprite because you like the taste or dwarf and battalion not forbidden conversation of gossip and but just sitting around and chatting shooting the breeze idle talk says it is not the custom of the king to play with mundane matters you should you should memorize this phrase either in english or in aramaic but it's a great phrase i believe it's him for the zoa love it's not the custom the normal way of a king to leash to play to to to be involved emilia de jeter in mundanity the king does not sit around shooting the bridge he has very important things that he's very busy with day and night and he and he barely has time for that and to sit around and just chitchat doesn't have the time so the alternate says you hear this that even things that are um mundane not forbidden velvet not us or but they're just neutral however you're innocent they're not with shame shamayim they're not for the sake of god they're just neutral and you're using them just to waste time etc that too is part of the mid-bar because it doesn't bring to any vegetation navi there's no growth coming from idle conversation it says in regard to a desert there's a quote of in the verse in in tanakh man does not dwell there a normal person doesn't live in a desert a nomad lives there but an average normal person doesn't live in the desert why not because there's no vegetation what does that mean a normal and spiritually as we i was as we're discussing it here a normal person doesn't sit around wasting his time with idle conversation or just just engaging in typhus heter so what the alternet is alluding to here permissible indulgences you know how to have five cars if you can afford it what's what's bad why not why not why not well maybe the money should be given to help children go into a yeshiva they can't afford tuition maybe you should have every shop has 40 people at your table and use that money to certify the expense of the food factors earthen so again if you could if you could just one second here if you could justify it that is used for spirituality and godliness fine but otherwise dalton includes it here in a desert let me just finish the two lines pedos this means who commissioned castle when it says in in the verse lo yashaf adam sham man does not sit there referring to a desert says the altar but who is this atom that we're referring to atom is similar to what it says the image on the throne of god the muslim author appears to be like a man mean to say the holiness holiness of holiness does not sit in a desert why qibi also will make those because i said hashem says jewish people make for me a sanctuary and i will dwell amongst them meaning to say we have to make a place that's inhabited a yeshua a migdash and in a desert layer of autumn yes hilo is the implication of this i mean there's such a dense density of ideas in this paragraph yes is the implication that he started talking about divorce and then he ended up talking about divor in connection with midbar and i'm wondering if they started playing on the words no no no no he's not no he's not he he's talking about all three as they apply to uh a moshav and then later an ear we'll see and right now i'm not uh a midbar and he's saying they have no purpose yeah kevin we're going to stop here it's a short because i have to get going tomorrow same time and we'll have a regular share have a good day everyone i'm sorry i'm a little rushed so i deserved thank you thank you bye-bye
