Ani Ledodi #7 Likutei Torah - Right Location will cause most success - Elul right place

not not newer yeah okay so good morning everyone good day valvo good to see you we're on page your tests of the mimer uh yesterday uh i was a little rushed so maybe i didn't adequately explain or address some of the question that both hillel and moshe had so we'll try to revisit and briefly address the questions we learned yesterday the altar in the previous chapter introduced to us that trader cello's analogous to a melech basoda although he comes in his disguise he's still a melech but he's a melee that finds himself in a field because the people from the city when they hear that the king is coming out to the field and he's there to accommodate everyone they come they the only one thing they need to do is get up and go to green to greet him and when he sees that they have a they do this he's happy about it and he says what what can i do for you when i get back to the palace what can i do for you everyone tells them their requests and he smiles at them and he becomes friends with them that's the month of elle and then the the the symbolism in the muscle of when he goes back to his palace and the doors close behind him and only those that have an appointment can get in and even amongst those only the most privileged individuals get to get an appointment this is analogous to heidi's tissue because history when we have hashem reigning upon us the brothers of rosh hashanah etc um to to identify and feel the energy and and benefit from it in in the best way you need an appointment you need to dress up and you need to do this and you need to do that and you need to bang and you need to hit the schaefer all kinds of conditions in other words it's hot it's holy days holidays yum tavi it's no longer mundane days like we have in their little weekdays and that's an answer by the way i didn't say this yesterday but it's important for you to know one of the questions that the alternate asked in the end of the first chapter two questions one question was if if it's true that on enduring elo god shines upon us the thirteen attributes of mercy so that implies this delay an arousal from above that comes to awake us so why do we say that the the awakening from below that was one question and the second and the second question is if indeed there are the 13 attributes of mercy if so they should be young and tight just like yom kippur when we have you'd give them the seraphim and that's a yum it's a it's a fast day it's a yum and the answer to the to both questions is one and the same that the energy of the you give this on during yellow is not the same as it is on your kipper it's only an assistant it's only preparing the playing field the groundwork but the work itself we have to do and that answers the first question that that ello is the avoidance of man to work to hashem to make a hajj that is the month of ello in order to have the ability to be do that we need help that's the you give me this hashem says i'm planting in the world during the month of elul an energy of the course of godliness that will make it possible for you for us that when we were are to work we're going to succeed and and do our work properly in other words let's simple muscle simple muscle is an artist hillel is a therapist velveo's a doctor if each of you are are are experts in your field and you are and you decide to take your expertise and use it velvet for law hillel for sports and and moisture for commerce as far as selling clothing you'll fail because the playing field of your expertise is not those businesses i thought you were going to say we'd make more money you might make you might make more money but you know just parenthetically it's like the soccer out here right they don't go they don't go to high school and they're the most successful business people the most money and that's their argument to to everyone he says you know you guys go to college you go to high school you become educated and everything and and yet you're struggling to make a living and and we have all this money anyway the nakuda is elo ello um ello is your field your expertise but you can only succeed when you're in your field if you're not doing it in your field you're not the top surgeon in your field velvet you're a top surgeon if you were to do a face heart surgery and they'll say well you're a surgeon do heart surgery thank you very much first of all you wouldn't do it because you feel you're not that's not your field and then even if you were to do it you wouldn't be the top because that's not your expertise so what the expertise is that hashem gives the world an opening and he says this month i am making it possible for chuva to be done and to be done properly a month before of we didn't have that well you say well we could do truth anytime of course you could do truth anytime we're talking about the chuva should make a dent we're talking about that you should feel that the truva you're doing is valuable right another example we're taking stock this month if a business person takes stocks top stock every single month he's in big trouble that evan told there's a story and this this person already i think passed on um uh mints david mintz of tofutti you've heard of the in america maybe it came to a uh tortoise roll tofutti david lived in um in tenofly new jersey and he was a very a a big supporter of chabad he's a tera vadas boy by the way he grew up in williamsburg so he told me that when he took his cup company public he was you know looking ten times a day at the value of the stock right he had to hit us with the river i think this is online so you can follow up and see it they put david mintz on the gem and you'll see the video in his own words but he i interviewed if they told me this so the reperceptive stop looking at the stock you work and look at making your product better put all your effort and resources and energy into making a better product you will do that your stock will go up and he told me he listened to the river and his stock indeed flew up and he made tremendous amount of money because he's changed his mindset for you know from the investment from the investment value every day and all that to not looking at it not being concerned about it and just making a better product the same is true with heidel shallow and uh and the musa if we do a truva and we need to do true for every month of the year and every day of our life but the playing field that was an expression in english the playing field the arena the atmosphere is not conducive for the special truther of the show and i think you you you prob i i assume you'll agree that you know this month when we do children when we take stock and we make a henchman it it just resonates more i i know that's the way it's by me it resonates more like i wake up thinking i should be learning this in the safer it talks about you know two of the issues and i haven't gotten to it that mindset is during hey the shell i don't think that way in of and in any kiss slave in kislyak i'm thinking about hank kislev in this i'm thinking about pesach and leaving boundaries this month i'm thinking about hey i have to look at myself and look at those things that were not so nice and how i'm going to correct them so the the the the truth is very conducive this month and why is that because hashem planted the you gimmel midas haraham as an aid to our avoider and and and the express so therefore the consciousness of man of the jew during this month is more uh in touch with that reality i want to make sure what i said now is clear uh and if not ask me because it's very very important very important otherwise you don't you're not following what it says in the mimer you know it's not just more verbiage the alternate had nothing to do say painted a little bit on a page this is there's a specific system that he's that he's sharing with us over here and if you follow the system you're going to benefit yes motion you've specifically this one yeah and and just when when you say when you think about those things try to bring a muscle to your mind that you could relate to a muscle if you wouldn't have your office with the quiet and and the particular brushes and everything your art wouldn't be as good i'm sorry because right working at a home with kids and noise and this and the wife and this and that it's a disturbance but mostly you're the same moshe you're the same beautiful art yes thank you very much but the outside interference gets to you the outsole in the nimsho in the moral heidi hashem says i'm going to take away the outside interference so it's similar to you working quietly in your office without distractions is the muscle a good muscle do you do you think a muscle will you relate to the muscle sure i can definitely relate to the emotion i'm trying to in other words we need to have the be able to focus and have the place to be able to focus and and and so call that focus you'd give me the sarah man you see i i i think i know what's what's what what's bothering you or what's what's what's still uh not 100 clear and you should know it's by by me this way too by all of us because we don't feel luckness we don't feel spirituality we don't we like what are we talking about over here what is this so so moshe you understand but when you learn any field of jewish study that's outside of i can touch it i can smell it i can see it you have to put yourself in a different frame of mind and that frame of mind is not a fantasy see some people think oh it's a fantasy it's above a mice it's wishful thinking no it's not because there are times that we do feel more spiritual and more uplifted and more holy even though we don't see it we don't we don't right you put two of them on this morning you answered them yahish no you don't you believe what it says in the gemara and it says thank you very much prove it to me show it to me in the bank you can't you can't you know why because it doesn't lend itself to that type of appearance is not gusmius so we have to train ourselves to identify to not to to relate to us and how is that the more adele the more refined we become the more these things become our natural habitat the more coarse we are the it's more it's less meaningful so so so you know to bring the muscle to a nimbushu we understand that the nimsho is always in the rookhnistika sense compared to the muscle but if we understand well the muscle we can think with our mind what this would be in the nimsho so for example we've now discussed the last five ten minutes about this idea what do we walk away with what do i walk away with what i walk away who's saying is that this i i have today is the tenth available 20 more days i got 20 days almost three weeks left to make stock taking to really look inside myself and and and face the issues that that aren't so nice and and to do trufa and and to allow myself into this mode of thinking and i know that hashem who loves me and loves us and he gives mercy to the world through the 13 attributes of mercy is going to be merciful as if i will invest in time and doing this hashem is going to receive the prayers and and the requests and the truva and he's going to forgive me and he's going to he's going to say i'm giving you another chance for another year now if someone says well i need a sign from heaven well first of all wake up and smoke smell the coffee if you if you really need a sign and you want a sign and you're and you're a vessel for a sign because you become more luchnius you'll get a sign you will get a sign but then don't play around with the signs some people they get a sign and they start analyzing right i i go back to some of my stories but one you know when there ever comes to me in a dream friday night in sleeping in richard and he says you are to make the you are to make the sugar for your son although the week before i was ambivalent and it wakes me up i that's it i said i got a message from heaven now another person can take that and say well i didn't have a dream three nights in a row and then there'll be a person who'll say he didn't have three nights in a row i cannot do it it makes no sense so you see that you can always if you're more and more gosh meaning more and more rational and and that type of individual that and you can't let go dreams and dreams and dreams mean nothing but if you allow yourself into a different world and you and you get a message and you and you and you believe in the message you go with it and then it's a whole different experience and the result is he married that girl there are five children can they know her and it's a wonderful bleh and her family so the the results are from the dream okay so this is now 10 15 years later 10 years i love my my oldest grandson's getting bar mitzvah this year so 13 14 years later 14 or so years later and you have the result of a dream friday night 15 14 fifteen years ago in rehabilitation could i have said well say the next day it's nars guy nan's a dream it's only a dream and and and this is this is my personal experience you have your experiences a person goes to to a sadik the the the hill goes to the toner but different right and if and he feels very inspired and and he may makes a move based on that whatever that move is even though maybe rationally you can't explain it or justify it that's a that's a holy act and and someone who comes along and argues and disagrees that's coming from here and frankly you say thank you and have a nice day and you do what you need to do if you're more of a rookies like a person you want to be more of this so the same is true with heidi shallow if hazal tell us that this is the month level of doing truva and and we doubt that ebba shares we thought that there's a there's a aid there's assistance for our trooper vis-a-vis for me that's that's all i need to hear that's all i need to hear that means i i have an opportunity this month and i'm not going to have it next month this idea of truva and i didn't have it the last month and the same as every single month and the same as every single mitzvah okay everything is an opportunity but the key to everything is like i've told you over and over and over is being more luckiest being more able that that's it there's no there's no quick fix to that there's no quick fix to that it's work you know it's like dieting i'm dieting now the doctor scared me out of my wits talking to another doctor right he said if you don't lose weight that you don't take care of your health you're not going to be around for many more years right so you take it seriously and you start right is it hard oh is it hard it is hard but like that's why hashem put us here to work to work and and and so the doctor in this case was the guinomin who has to do the work i do he can't do it for me he can just explain and show based on the blood test and everything else that i'm that i'm in a very very precarious dangerous situation if i don't change my diet and everything else so he's like you've given me this harassment he opened up for me you know the picture now go do it yeah he wants to give me pills and smiles and hills and you know if you can do it without the pills great if you can't you got to take the pills you got to do this if you walk the hills you won't need the bill if you walk if you walk the hill very good but you understand velvet this is a good muscle another good muscle the doctor can only give you asa the doctor can't do it for you right we think that the doctor is the panacea the rappe hashem gives a doctor the kayak to heal if hashem wouldn't give that choice to a doctor he can learn at harvard and at the oxford and whatever medical center john hopkins nada his he he won't accomplish anything only the abrasive gives and therefore you can have sometimes someone who didn't learn in the class a university and he's a world surgeon i know someone he's in cherry hill new jersey and he has a pair of golden hands he's definitely one here and yet he's a he was a star top rate surgeon who 20 hospitals used him why because god blessed them with certain hands for surgery that was tremendous so a big big brother right so the the nakuda is the pl that the you give me those do you give me the sarah that we have during yellow opens up for us the opportunity and that's why going back to the question that's why it came with me that's why we want them hashem wanted them specifically to be weak days if they would be on them that's analogous to being conditional my chef achiever we need no conditions everyone can come in the way you are don't give me conditions tishra you'll begin with conditions how large is the show for us moles of schreifer the right side the left side you'll keep her fasting in this and can you encount you and with the lulu of a nest rig is it kosher not is the silk of the right the dimensions and on and on hello no conditions just work and make a decision you want to change so that's why they're not holidays and this also explains why the malachi's if the king were to be in his palace during evil it would be analogous to the king not being in the field the king would in other words the king is not one of us he's not showing himself as one of us so how could we do chuva he's too too too awesome and we know he's awesome but we want to we want to be in the arena where we can approach him that's craig and that's why it's madoff comes the alternate but now i'm paying you guys in the third chapter and the outfit ever says but what if i eat is not a fields person but he's actually a desert person he's a meat bar oivey what's a midbar eretz lozarua a quote from aposic on an uninhabited land that does not tolerate plantation vegetation and growth the spiritual idea means that the person has done things against god that makes it antithetical to growth to spiritual growth which means a various the transgressions and thought speech in action says the out there ever but it's not only that a midbar is also a place where the yoshi of audem knows we have two at two details to our desert one is there's no growth there's no vegetation another detail is man doesn't inhabit a desert a nomad lives in a desert a normal person doesn't what's the symbolism and idea there says you're even if you're involved in idol chatter and conversation action and thoughts that are not forbidden but are not only neutral and not godly it's analogous to living in a desert what's the point what is the point so if you're going to a desert to explore the earth for scientific reasons then you have a purpose in being there but a person who whose functions with family friends community and and paranosa in in a in a city that's where they belong you want a small city to a small city not a large city but in the desert you're wasting your time so you're right what am i doing wrong in the desert you're not doing anything against god but the fact that you're not producing is also against god why because hashem says i want of man to produce so when we find ourselves in a place which is loyal no hap no habits no habit habitat it's not a habitat for man says the alternate but that's also included in a mid bar and as he ends the last paragraph so you'll say can't i make a temple a sanctuary in in a desert well the jews did but it was only a mishkan it was only temporarily yes it lasted 369 years i believe in chile right and we went there with small with uh with uh with avi once was so wonderful but that's all temporary with us make me a permanent home a permanent home you don't make in the desert you're making your lion yes so so that may have helped me to understand it because i was a little perplexed by sort of the flow of the ideas in the first sentence because you know he's been talking about the son and then he says which seems like it's introducing a new topic you know a person could be a field guy or they could be a town guy and then it says going back to the uh umidbar going back to the to the idea that he was just talking about and then he starts said midbarren starts talking about the midbar so you're suggesting here that it's the uh that uh because a person because when per when a person has the bikinis as an ear moshav then they are that would be a adam sham he dwells there that uh no lo yoshof adam shum is a reference to midbar man does not well man does not sit there well i i then i understand but i thought but but but in the last sentence and when he when he says uh uh uh he was so weird and so so where uh does that is he addressing at all the idea of ear moshav and connecting it with the silly mythos for shakanti so those two separate ideas he is but without saying it directly correct he's saying that a mid bar is antithetical to the ear uh-huh but what i want you to do you what i want to do now yeah think that's what i was asking that's what i was asking that that um hello let's let's let's look let's learn you have the cedars-muveres let's read together the first column it's not so difficult i hope it will clarify for you you have it or not here and then yeah see this move yeah yeah after talking to parrot the next paragraph okay yes it should be here yes yes i'm going to read your token indian the general idea of the thirteen attributes of mercy what this means in service in man's service to god this is what he explained earlier he now continues to explain the paired zen this chapter these this this special novelty music receiving the king of the field now let's go further yes i'm going to go into the commentary now look at the commentary indiana marshall the melody or melody the parable of a king being in a city or a king being and assad in a field denotes two different circumstances of man's service to god this refers to a person who is in regard to the godly light skip the parenthesis the godly light dwells upon the person in a revealed way and in a settled way yeah yeah but but again it's a sudden we're not talking about a desert talking about a field oh okay uh-huh okay okay yeah you want to talk about a field godliness in a field is not re i'm sorry during the week godliness is not revealed or this yahshua and godliness is not settled there um more specifically if man who finds himself in the field is is worse than a fields person he's a desert person now let me say here's i didn't say this earlier we're talking about a person velvet who's in the field the question is is he is he a field is his mind's eye field or his mind's eye desert he's in the field the field represents you know that he wants to do truva but he hasn't yet made that made the effort right he's open to change a desert the mindset of desert is either i'm against you god or i'm not interested in you god in other words it's not inhabited there's no growth people don't live there let's look back now in the text specifically if man is at the level of midbar at its low zarua meaning a place where growth does not take place which denotes actions speech the mashables [Music] light so so so maybe this clarifies it for you hello yeah i think so okay it helps me understand the flow we're talking about the mindset of midbarr as the jew finds himself in the saga in other words remember a yid is a city person has an ashama right that's so in truth every jew is ear the question now is when you don't live out that reality so what's your mindset so dalton is saying there's two mindsets one is called field and one's called desert so so when you go into the field you can have a fields attitude or you can have even worse a desert attitude that's what he's saying nice okay okay kevin i we didn't learn anything new in the text but we did go over this and we learned this i think it was important to to review i i hope i hope it's clear i hope um you know and if you want to ask me send me you know a voice yes my shirt i'm sorry just real quick uh who's the name of the person the the fruity david mintz david mintz m-i-n-t-z ceo of of of um of tofuria he passed away either this year last year saigon to everyone have a great day with everyone tomorrow take care bye bye bye
