rampage
you test
in the hasidus muveres version of anila
deity the miner of the altareba which
appears
in the kuti toyota
page lamid bays the heart of the quti
toyota that everyone said is this mimer
anila deity just like
chapter 32 and tanya is the heart of
tanya
chapter
um
chapter uh this my manila deity being
that it's on page islamic base
that ever said it's
the heart of the quti
okay so we discussed yesterday and the
day before
the the altareb introduces in chapter
three patrick shilishi which begins on
page utress
the concept that there's not only a
field mindset the mindset of a person
who finds himself in the field
which is analogous to
the month of ello and i encourage those
that didn't
get a chance that missed some of this
urum to really listen to this urum
they're online on youtube and it'll
bring you up today to what we're at
but in this uh third chapter that ebba
also the altered introduced
there's also a midbar mindset
within the person
so
a yid a jew every jew has in the shrama
and that's the real jew
however
because of a jew's behavior in thought
speech in action
there are various different mindsets one
is
field meaning neutrality they're not bad
they're not evil but they don't that
they're neutral
and the other is midbar midbar hazal
and it's
lozarua it's a plan a place where it it
vegetation
is not possible in a desert
by the way there's another touch to hell
that's lazy i think dalton ever might
bring it later
it's a land of negativity
zarua that's what's planted here
right that's not the simple meaning and
it's we read ernest
a desert it's a place where that has no
growth no no vegetation
another type is addis this piece of
earth this symbolism of someone who is a
desert-minded person is light
negativity against god antithetical to
god
transgressing not just neutral
right this type is heterozygous is adult
that alludes to it earlier
titus scissor is midbar taibus hector is
southern
so the alternate is going to say
guess what
there's even an opportunity and a chance
for a midbar minded person
to get on the boat on the wagon and to
reconnect let's see how he does that
if he ate so how you uh
[Music]
so here the altar but doesn't only say
v8
v8s this might even be a quote from a a
part of a positive but it's definitely
the idea being the eights are you it's
uh why repeat twice the answer for
eighteen is uh the advice
when do you use the phrase for eight
sahayatsu means when the situation is
really dire and bad you really have to
come up with a good answer
right
so yay since we're talking about now
someone who is a midbar-like person he's
he's antithetical to hashem
he's involved in type of soy surim
indulgences that are forbidden
here doubt that ever says i have to
really scratch my head and find some
advice that can slap him out of the
tsara and what is that
he next see if he brings the passage in
the title
you shall search from there as hashem
god your god pedus
the light that was so good hashem said i
have to hide it
you know
because it's too good for this world
when meshiach will come i'll reveal it
but right now this light that was
that didn't exist
during the bria
during creation hashem says that's all
it did i needed it to get the ball
rolling once the ball is rolling i'm
hiding it
in his body we discussed earlier
that light
of god is an emanation of god's inner
will
and we said earlier yaakov there's no
difference in the quality
between the light the ray of the sun to
the sun itself the only difference is in
the quantity
so too
an emanation of hashem qualitatively
speaking is like hashem himself
in the language of
hasidis i want you to remember this
or
the or which is the emanation the
reflection main it is similar
to hama or the illuminary the source of
which the er comes from and why is that
how could you say that because the
quality and objective of light is the
same
be it in the source or be it in its ray
the difference is only
in the amount of light that each gives
and the amount and and the
accomplishment
and which what each accomplishes
but i swallow as far as the quality and
objective it's the same
so the alt treble says now
since light in general
is an emanation of gods
yes
which every single yid has this level
remember
moshe
israel
you'd sar kale we learned very important
it's constant
what does an israelite mean and i
pointed out to someone else
when you think of the word israel yaakov
what do you think of
i'm asking you
hey
someone who
changed the show
yes you think of what it says in paris
you wrangled with men and angels and you
succeeded and therefore
and that's the time when hashem gave
yako the name israel
that's judaism 101 right
especially
puts a great emphasis on the inner
meaning of the word
and altered says that the reason why
yaakov succeeded over
the angel is because yaakov is a jew
and a jew has one up on an angel and
what does he have that's one up he has
kale
sar kale
he's a master of kale
and you'd you'd sarcale
it's constant
what is the youth the light
he said whatever i'm not going into the
details which of the 13 attributes it is
but it's associated with god's light
this light of hashem
taught us earlier is the panemius of
hashem it's the inner
inner essence of god
and god says i'm putting this into you
and that's why yaakov he was able to
overcome the angel
until then yaakov did not have the youth
sarkeel
and therefore
there was no difference in a sense
between himself and the angel
when hashem gave him the youth sarcas
vis-a-vis
his struggle and fight with the angel he
became greater than angels
he manifested at the time what we call
neshama's soul light light of hashem
kale
and that's why he was able to beat the
angel
says the altar going back to our text
over here
that every jew yes
every jew is
israel we call them israel
israel
ellen let's continue the texts
[Music]
it's very concealed one second it's very
concealed
in his nature
his natural self
what he does every day
conceals this yellow kale yes jacob
just going back on what you said before
clarifying the
means present continuous
not he did he's doing and there's a few
other sukim that the youth represent
shows
dr rebecca's lesson is
continue continue continuity
of the
behavior the action
continuity of what again
of of that that this idea of kale is not
something god put into person but
because he behaves in an ugly way it
gets lost it's always there
is constant
you'd sar kale that the truth is that
the kale that every jew has is a tsar as
a master and it's constant that's youth
youth sartail
so again as the smartest ones
the the
of the of of the kale of the kale is
constant within the jew
he's never lost that
a beautiful thing
since the every jew has the kale
but at the same time you're saying that
it's hester vegem it's concealed
because the natural stuff gets in the
way and hides it
says dalton but that's why you have to
be mad
you have to reveal the treasure of
yiddish ramayana
in other words what's a treasure a
treasure is something that you all have
it's there but if you don't open up the
treasure
it never comes to fruition
the treasure of having fear and all for
god in other words that every year has a
treasure that deep down
one wants to have that yiddish mayan but
it's like a treasure yakov you have to
be megalith you have to reveal it
yes
says the altered
before we were discussing
an individual who
whose kale is hidden
between because of his nature you know
he you know some people are very very uh
we spoke about it before exact and
precise and if something's a little
different they can't relate to it you
know what i'm saying so nature you know
the way you you were raised the way you
were born into which parents in which
community all those things as we learned
to the countries
we learned how all of those make a
difference on who the student is and how
the teacher should apply himself to the
student accordingly
so what do we see
that we are not to underestimate teva
is very powerful nevertheless
teva can only conceal
in other words if hashem says
for example this this is a far out
example
it's heir of shabbos
shabba is about to begin
the arizona comes out and he tells the
student and swas he says come
who's ready to go to yerushalayim to
greet mashiach
wow
oh they all want to go
but they say rebbe
we need to check with our wives first
they come back and they say our wives
gave us permissions as the arizona
forget it you missed the opportunity
and by the way it was this way with the
rubbish moisture you're gonna like to
hear this it's very important
especially in the early years the first
10 20 years of the rebels leadership
if rabbi khadikat was the closest
secretary and dealt with these issues
for the reb about sending people out on
all over the world if if if he asked and
everyone know if he's asking if they're
asking through him
someone about going to schliches
and you
and you and you
you know you were unsure i have to ask i
have to talk
you didn't get a second you didn't
get a second chance
why
the hesitancy
yeah
in other words
no you yourself are ready ready to jump
in but
there's a wife there's a mother there's
a father there's a shoe there's a rabbi
and they're all holy and they're all
good but
you gotta capitalize sometimes on the
moment you gotta seize the moment
it's in that moment
so so too diarizal
was was hoping that they would seize the
moment they wouldn't ask any questions
now why am i telling you these two
stories because that's teva they didn't
do anything wrong
is it natural to ask your wife should
you ask your wife yes
but
there's a time where you have to go
beyond teva and either
you get it or you don't
there's another yakov
a maiden came with pinchas no
pinterest got up and he slews him me
right
if he would have asked her shyla if he
would have asked the shiner by me she
would have told him you know how to do
it
so he didn't
have
it's a halal but we don't give that
instruction
he did what he had to
so
during the kuda the point is
that dalton here is saying like this
look what he's saying he's saying
that
for one person
the reason why the kale
is hit is not apparent is because
batively that's his nature
his nature is to be so organized and so
limited
or somewhat called narrow minded
whatever whatever whatever
but that's not bad
it's just the way it is nevertheless
it doesn't allow
the kale to flow through
now doubt that ever says there's another
individual
who
by him
the kale isn't only concealed because of
nature but the kale is actually lost
look what he says
there's another individual that the kale
is lost by him
and we call that ghost
where you can't do what you want
like we're going through a nous you have
to put a mask on and do this and do that
otherwise you can i've been wanting to
come to see my grandchildren archie
serol and all the michigan with the
quarantine and tests and all that drives
me nuts i haven't gotten on the plane
it's ghosts
is not sitting on your loins
and eating popcorn watching the super
bowl
oh because what
which to play yeah but a right to plea
because really i really please help me i
need it
says the alternate but then when the
toilet says will be kashmisham
you shall search for god mishom
because i'll say when you have a lost
object an aveda
just a cursory search won't do it you
have to do like badika's comments you
have to do a real hypos
when something of the kale is lost
in one particular area it's gotten lost
to the point where it's an exile
then you need to apply the costume
we learned earlier that every year has a
spark of godliness vis-a-vis
which referred to as the kale and
sometimes this is very lost in man
says vikas
search from
that rests within every single yid to
enliven the godly soul so in other words
what what do we mean the nephew shall it
is the godly soul that dalton rabbit
taught us every jew has is what gives
animation to the neshama to be holy and
do the good what hashem wants
and if
what triggers and what triggers that
that what we call the need so it's the
spark that this is really key and over
here dalton ever saying that by some
people
because of their own stuff and and
issues they have caused their needs to
tell a key
to be
lost so that
says
you have to search very well and plead
to get it back
now he's going to look at the word
michonne let's look
just as it's impossible to search for a
lost object and to find it unless you
look in at the place
where you lost it if you look elsewhere
you'll never find it
[Music]
a person won't comprehend god the face
of god the inner aspect of god
and that he should make his love be
towards the god villa say upon them and
have fear on his face from the from that
inspiration
first this jew has to really really
search
where they
the place which he identifies where he
lost
it
temporarily i'll i'll i'll get it
we will check our ways and from and by
checking our ways we will do true for to
you hashem
says the altar you have to check in your
ways in the in those ways
that were inappropriate over there you
have to go and find oh what was wrong
and do trouble from that place
because just as an object that's lost
you'll never find it if you're looking
at the wrong place so too if you really
want to accomplish that the hypos that
the searching should have an impact you
have to get down and dirty
and if you fantasize and do other things
it's all nice
and it's all real in a way even if it's
not a fantasy but you're still not
getting to the very core
to get to the very core it's
uncomfortable you have to deal with some
very very uncomfortable issues that
might have never been resolved and now
this ello you want to do trouba for that
so you have to deal with that
shiite fascists but myself practically
this means one should look at their
deeds with the buddha in their speech
and their thoughts
that have gone by from the day he was
created i shall i tell even those that
were no good
it's a very heavy trip
because
who wants to go back and look and right
doesn't the hill is not on but modern
psychology
you know tells you don't look to the
past because
it might um i mean even i'm saying fraud
psychoanalysis does talk about that but
the modern psychology of behavioral
therapy and cognitive therapy they go a
different route which
has been the more accepted approach
today in psychology than the good old
psychoanalysis
psychoanalysis might be more similar to
this idea of looking at your past which
is very uncomfortable
you know and especially
i mean
what's the point of looking at things
that i did that was so wrong
how's it going to make me better
the answer is
that first of all
you have to we have to be sure a yid has
to be sure that he's got his gu he he
now that he's done true but he disagrees
with it a hundred percent
and and and it's as ugly to him as the
worst thing that he just discussed that
he hates that that's terrible to him
that's number one number two
when you realize that you were once in
that position and now you are on this
position it helps you with your
happiness that you were able to leave
such a terrible state
and if you had the kayak to do chuva
years ago when you were
becoming about the shoe every one of us
in our own way
this should be a
impetus for us to do truva today in the
setting we are today
because anyone that feels that the
setting they are today they're doing
just fine
they're not you know doing uh things
that are against hashem they're doing
things that maybe are you know neutral
and not always uh with a godly slant
but they're not doing dvarama story
so why
revisit and dalton says here
something that's uncomfortable but he
says
search god
if you want to find god real god
whole god essence of god you have to
plea
search
with a with a with a with a candle like
you do thickest comets misham you have
to go to the right place
where the negativity happened
we're now on page huff
fourth line
fourth word from the end of the line
value days there acronym
his heart will become very bitter and
frustrated you see
there's a time you can't handle that and
then there's a time you could handle it
and this is really
you know if you've ever wondered
how do i know i've graduated the bt
state and i'm now an ffb state
you all know it bt right teshuva and f b
is from from birth
clash to sheldon
but i'm saying
you know because i people you know we're
people
we mean to say
the answer is
if you can reflect back
on the stake you were before and not
lose your excuse excuse this expression
not lose your pants not get all frazzled
not get all bent out of shape
that shows
that you really you you really are a
different person
you really made a change in your life
so looking back
doesn't doesn't make you in any way
less than what you are today on the
contrary you're looking back
to to improve
that's what delta is saying here
look at the words by your desert
by looking back
you smile merrily boy
your heart will be frustrated bikini boy
yo
and you'll only do more true shiva vida
and god will have more mercy on you
so the results of this bikush
mesham
is to make you stronger
and for hashem to have more mercy on you
part of the thinking process
of this type of truth is
that you work to awakening abundance of
mercy i'll need to tell you over the
godly sparks
that's within you
in other words
you're saying to hashem and to yourself
i have a godly spark a nitsuits a kale
and it's in ghost
i'm pained by it i won't i don't want it
to be any more ghosts
just like i was able to release myself
from ghosts
by doing for years ago
i am now
thinking about doing trufa and
now
given who i am yes hilo
you want to say something hilo
okay
and this is the verse says like this
motion
to
yakov who was redeemed by avraham
how is that
avraham yani is it kindness
yaakov is rahmani's mercy
[Music]
when you awaken god's mercy
it can also redeem
the alva that's within you that you
cannot get yourself to love god you're
like a stone
and you're asking yourself why don't i
have a love to god like i
like at least like i love other people
and other things
and for me it's all lip service
do this do that
bow down don't bow down
i want to feel
your ava is in captivity
comes along the proposition says i
understand
and there's an eight solution for it
awakened mercy
yaakov lyakov go back to the puzzle look
li
it's in that time that yaakov
arousing god's mercy will actually
redeem your love so that it should be
mekubal accepted by god
it can release it releases
ava from its exile
he made us shall abraham avinu all over
australia next page
this is the meet of abraham avinu which
therefore
therefore avraham avenue is called avinu
because every single jew has the meter
of hassan of abba inside himself
and since a son
is the foot of the father
he broughtably call it chinese but to be
included and and and nullifies observing
to god's will meaning
when we understand that we are
bro
the son which is the foot of the father
we are
that's why we say avinu
avrama vinu
what connection do we have to avinu
like the famous story the meshula comes
to the faisal of lebline
and he asks for a donation and he gives
him a certain amount and then the mashup
finds out
that really
the quesad gives his relatives double
the amount
so he says that's not fair
i'm a relative of the crazer
so
he goes back to him
and he says give me and he says
i'm sorry you're a fourth cousins
brothers aunts uh mothers uh
yeah i'm talking about a real relative
you're so distant
you get like everyone else you don't get
double
then it was time the
shoe the face is in front with his
holiness this year this mushroom screams
out in yiddish
which means oh really
he's also a relative
the god of abram the god of giza we are
governing right
and we're calling upon them as though
they're our fathers
come on
and the crazer broke out with a smile
and after mingling gave him double the
amount
if it's good for hashem it's good for
the heiser
here we're learning
that avraham is abramovino the
ava that we have is because we are sons
of gods
avraham is our forefather our ancestor
safran represents christ it says the
altered
at times
has it gets stuck
the love you just are jaded
and and you don't have feelings
and this is very important as we dive
and we'll come to the yemen
it's a time to awake feelings
not just to be mechanical
okay we've been mechanical
50 years 60 years 30 years each and
every one of us in our life we've been
mechanical now it's time to feel
something to give a little crutch to
give a little tear to give a little love
to god
and it doesn't go
so you need to do is you have to ask
one of our ancestors is yaakov and
yaakov represents mercy have mercy and
release
my avram my ava that i should feel love
to you god
says the altar but this is part of the
video
very beautiful point
that when a person does truth and he
does truth in the right way and in the
right place
he has the power of even releasing
a jaded feeling a heart of a stone
that it should become a heart of gold
so that's also included in the vikasta
mission
any questions thoughts
is it clear i mean i want to make sure
is it clear what we learned yes hilo
i just want to say it's also a
theme that really is echoed in this
week's parsha
and
he said
emphasize it that this needs to be our
strategy in dealing with things that are
in our issues as opposed to a surim as
you said
so it's uh it's a really parallel idea
thank you thank you and since you
mentioned
the altered says
must know he's always above the enemy
never think of yourself
i'm
under the enemy the enemy you know has
gotten to me and i'm s and i no
aid in his very essence is alive
temporarily he slipped
stays
the previous rep his father got married
today
and
his
his uh son the frida krabba's uh
anniversary is shabbos you'd gimmel two
days later you'd gimble
yeah 1897.
so um
it's an opportunity an opportunity as we
continue
making the fresh banana fish and working
so that we have a shana tavern
and goodness that's a parent
and that we that we're we're not scared
to deal with issues that need to be
looked at because we'll only become
better and healthier
but you have to have be in the right
frame of mind
in other words what we're learning here
yaakov
about this would be kashta misham
you know
like i think i told you i once spoke at
the large school in miami in the bell
harbor
next to serve side whenever the
buildings fell
uh rabbi lipska
and i was learning at that time the
the kiss fear diesel on reincarnation
which i believe hillary learned
with the havarusa you know shout out to
gulen
so i was really very excited and i was
at that time teaching classes on the on
those topics
so i
was invited to give a share so i spoke
about different things one was
marriage
spouse is a marriage
so that is our rights
that if a person is in a situation if
if
that he has a second wife for whatever
reason whether it be
the first one passed away or they
divorced et cetera
says the ids and and it seems
to that person
it not seems the person feels the second
marriage is better than the first
says the arizon that's because on the
tree
the eight's higher
where the nusramas come from there are
branches and
it could be that the second one came
from the same branch as
as the as the husband
in other words
there's two separate concepts there's
something called a zivak
and there's something called bashert
now we put them all together
in one basket the truth is it's two
separate things
bashar means it's destined
it's from heaven to be
that doesn't yet mean that you come from
the same branch
for whatever reason for a certain amount
of years these two people had to be with
each with each other married to each
other
then for whatever reason
that bashar it finishes
zeevook is a different idea zebuk means
you're a pear
from
from the the source
and for some reason you're probably
wondering and asking if so why didn't i
meet her to begin with
because it wasn't my shirt
oh wow very good you understand
it wasn't bashed
that's why you didn't meet her and at
the right time
when it will be by shared
you will meet you
you you can't by the way it's not a must
you can go through your entire life in
other words it could be many people are
married not to their zivak
we use the word zebuk
but it doesn't mean you're from the same
branch
and that's why there can be opposites
why the two people husband and wife
centers are totally opposite they're not
necessarily from the same branch a tree
has many branches
anyway this is a whole posture it needs
a lot more conversations
and
i just want to say uh since you
mentioned uh sharokina gulen this week i
was at a sim club i was sitting next to
someone and the band started playing
a tune that we recognized as an old pop
tune with with updated uh fruit lyrics i
said we call this sheer hug
anyway i didn't finish this
and if there's a story
so okay i was discussing this issue
in the shul thinking it's it's a frum
shule you know all kinds of you know
in the middle of the sheer i saw a young
man tall handsome nice
and he walks out
and i sensed that
i said something that really rubbed him
the wrong way
you know he didn't storm out but you
know like everyone was sitting you know
listening attentively
so after after minutes i went over to
him and i said um you know i noticed you
walked out and uh
you know there's something i said that
upset you i apologize but i'd like to
know you know
did i say he says yes you did i said
what did i say he says i got married
last week
and i'm listening to talk about a second
marriage and and gilgulum and the
branches
i believe this is my sugar and my shirt
and my z book and that's all i want to
know about now
i'm using that as an example
you can't you know be customizable
sometimes if you overload
someone
it's too much for them you have to be
very careful
so that's why this avoid of vikash de
mesa oil explained to us
it comes as a
[Music]
a a last resort
in other words
the the
normally a person should be able to to
reveal their love for god without having
to awaken mercy
work on yourself study learn meditate
and develop a feeling for god
dalton is saying here that if that
doesn't work
and you feel
hopeless
and you feel like what am i
accomplishing if i don't have any
feeling i'm just being a robot i'm doing
the act
so dalton ebba says then
you need to awaken
and ask god please have mercy and open
my heart up you understand so it's
important as much as we spend time
explaining what he's saying
it's important to know what he doesn't
say which is self understood or at least
it should be that you got to be careful
just like you know i mean listen i was
speaking to everyone so most everyone
enjoyed it and
appreciate hearing it the fact that one
person didn't you know so but to me you
know it's a lesson to be more sensitive
and somehow you know be more careful how
i you know
delivered those ideas at a public share
but the nakuda is that
you have to be careful so if you're
going to say someone i want you to think
about the sins you did when you were 25
or 20 or 15 as a teenager college
student you know the girls you ran
around with the trey few eight and all
that on and on and on and and the person
is just struggling they're beginning and
then and then they even if they're you
know they have to have the character
the kayak
the makeup
to be able to to deal with these things
and if they can't they shouldn't go
there
so i want to be very clear that
message is only if you could go there if
you can't go there
you're right
it's a lost object and it one day you'll
ask mercy of hashem and i'll give you
the kayak and you'll be able to go there
and to elevate it
but if you know you're not ready to go
there don't go there so i i just want to
make sure that
i'm clear okay
have a great shoppers we'll learn monday
