Chabad and Yeshiva World

it's become familiar with also the literature world I was two years ago and Beth Shemesh and I opened the column Beth Shemesh and I had the chance to meet rabbi hiyya melanomas all of a solo you might have heard the name he was a massive Tom McLoughlin probably a buck in shots and the chief editor of the English hearts coke schottenstein timorous and he invited me in to teach Tanya in his literature show so i-i've had exposure you know you're talking to a lab aperture who's not narrow-minded but very very expensive and I have a hard hat so I can hear uh you know get good knocks and rebound you know so I'm not scared of anything any won't say I won't be insulted unless it's you know outrageous and and disgusting I'll cut you off otherwise you know I've heard roll and it's fine and the way I write my books if you've read them and I hope you'll read more is I try to understand both sides and I present as much as possible a fair balanced study that I come to and allow my reader to decide what he wants to do with that so we stopped on the Babbage if you want to say softness right Labov each is wrong no problem you want to say the Babbage is right no problems when I say both are right or both are wrong no problem but at least I presented to you a full plate and the same is true in this presentation so chabad-lubavitch goes back 200 plus years to the ballot on Europe snare Salman in large know where he started and of course his magnum opus is the safer a Tonya that I'm sure you've heard of your the Russell Shiva that made there you throw famous rabbi Ruderman was someone who was his youth you know he said himself he studied Tonia and the malapa voucher family and he had familiarity with with Chabad and the Babbage who back back in Russia and although later you know the achiever opposed the Tanya's here both inside and outside see which is discussion for itself not for today for another time because I might write about it if I decided to write about Nereus were Lila Babbage that would be included in that piece of work but Lubavitch is a Hasidic a Hasidic begins with the Baal Shem Tov Arabia's Robel Shem Tov the founder it doesn't begin with the rep snare Salman because the Baal Shem Tov had this idea and he what was idea that the Miss Rama is the IKAR the soul was the Egret by a Jew what a Jew knows as far as Islam this and his ideas his knowledge is secondary to who he is the ballet Tonya explains this at great length in chapter 32 the llave of tanya if you care to follow up on it to understand but the Nakota was already from the Baal Shem Tov and the Baal Shem Tov had a select group of Ptolemy them and one of them who became the most known and successor was the marabou bear of miss rich known as the magnum is rich and he had formal tongue medley so after his passing in 1772 his Talmud Remender Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk took over but then in 1798 1778 I believe he left to 1778 of 1788 I forget now he left to her to screw with another Talmud or two and a whole group of custom and they were kind of the origins of the Hasidic movement in Terry ants fasten a row and they left over it's near Zelman to be the head of the Hasidic movement in white Russia not come back all Hasidim in white Russia the fair Solomon at some point took this germ of teachings of the Baal Shem Tov in a Nevada business Shambhu simcha has gotta practice on every detail and again everything is the topic for itself to explain it but we don't have the time he he took this and he said let's now use kind of the Lithuanian the Leapfrog analytical and intellectual approach to it okay the Baal Shem Tov was from pettalia you know the carpet Mountains and miss rich was also you know I'm saying they were more polish and godless Galicia and Romanian and they were a different style you could say more emotional palette Anya is cool before he came to the market he was called the litte rock he was noticeably truck and a fact that says in some of our writings that before he became accosted he opposed to sit him he posed the concept of custody but the Vilna Gaon and his students and the ballot Anya came to the market he was impressed as the whole story how it happened why it happened when it happened but the bottom line is he became a hostage of the market and this little was sudden saw a Jew not for his learning and his knowledge but for who he is didn't shut up and after the certain if you're looking at a ye'd for the de Sharma the miss Rama by all of us is the same and to quote is a chapter xxxii what he says there is how do you know someone who outwardly does he seem to be such a great time with hook him and the knowledgeable of tater know that maybe he has a great in the Sun but then you the Talmud compliment that and the one who's typing away 24/7 ok very revolutionary and he explained it and he explains it so how bad Huff Mabini das it's an acronym for the components of the mind to understand everything so just like you guys are learning yeshiva you understand that you take out that up high you take out of my time [ __ ] you're abrasive Engel akka sucks and you want to get down to it you really get into it it's not just you know lip service or even just knowing much by heart but it's really have another husband the palate Anya introduced that to facilities and it was a big revolution within the Hasidic world because they weren't used to this approach and frankly even till today even till today it's a big revolution in the Hasidic rule forget about the rich [ __ ] bro we'll talk about that in a moment but in the Hasidic world it's a revolution they're not used to thinking about God's eros cases and there's hokhmah number one and mouth closes number ten what's the virtue of customer why is it one and what's the virtue of ten and how do they interrelate and it will say expiry so man I don't know such a minute a minute to say tested Shepard worship Christ I think it is right I'm not sure I know for literacy should do that but but but but these concepts require a lot of single you can't just circle shake-and-bake won't get you anywhere from you got to understand you have to use your cup you have to use your head so this was a big hitters and for 200-plus years the seven members of Labov each have been going at it teaching casitas what's kasi this my Morin my Konya is is the magnum opus it's like the ram bombs yoga kazakh the safer a safer or rephrase that a columbarium of of an Rambam is required right so if you want on the stand I'm buddy after you have to understand that applied beside it up crying to get on the really understand really what that I'm saying a deeply and all that so the time is that way for kobata citizen citizen general I say in general you should know that that guerre vision eights and the other Hasidic movements in they also they're rebels is studied considers and then you can detect it in their writings so studies about considers so cabacas´s it is out that ever brought to the world and his successor Assessors they're the sample of Babbage endeavors became a mainstay of understanding well a piece of facilities when we talk about considers of the baal shem tov there's another important result foundation that he brought to the world and that's called party rather a Hasidic master think of it as a glowing a genius of understanding neshama the soul since ice it is so what I'm getting at cuz it this is all about to the Schirmer it's all about the soul it's not about the tangible it's not about the material and it needs to express itself the material but it's ethos its essence its Nakota is miss summer so the percent of teachers that a college bar who gave us and gives us a motion of been on every generation and tsadikim and not tsadikim in the classical time unit sense of the gomorian prophecy you know math semester benin ii raves the hooyah is table I'll tell you by the way in the first payday that dresses this whole issue the five categories but what's his conclusion Sadiq been in the in Russia which are the three and then there's two within each hence there's five categories are talking about different aspects of the soul what's going down inside how much have how much juice or bad have you eliminated how much is still left and what's going on internally and it's a whole so it's not a discussion about reward and Punishment do I have more real reward a punishment that's true in how logics terms of course it's the mother no one denies that there's there's a describer English but nevertheless if you want to understand yourself who are you and where are you it's about the essence about the neshamah so it's a whole other equation and a whole other assessment so therefore we take a person like a basin I'm begging you at Sadiq or never and we say that this individual was gifted by Hashem with Anna Sharma that stands out and than anyone else not that other people cannot attain it that's there's discussion about that whether you're born of Sadiq or you could be common side that I want to go into that right now but the bottom line is that it savages someone that has transformed himself so that the mother says empresas that dove of that melon you know when he did his thing with but Sheva and everything else and that the mother says particle battalion is he killed his yetzer Hara he killed his gets harder so definitely might have worked on himself that according to the good mother according to see this that's a whole different explanation but a point to their mother he was not and he became a Tzadik because he was able to work the Tigers answer her what we understand is and the outside of a brings that Plato in Chapter one Italia now what we understand from this is that what a question is of course it needs to have a rebel and the beliefs in a person who is a human being but his connection is clear there's no interruption there's no static why because he has horrible potatoes like the governor regarding governor Miller so hassidim believe that there ever is I'm part of a motion I've been on a cover the MELAS again whether the same are not the same that's another discussion but the overall idea is that in a college bar who gives every generation not just some of those a good rough and a good and a great receiver and a great money those are all true but that's not an ever forever is listen to these words are so geologists what's a soul geologist just like you brings someone on the stand stones look at the stone is this stone worth this amount of that amount that what's with this stone you have to be amazing if you're not a geologist you don't understand what you're looking at but rather is someone when you come to him he doesn't see your nose he doesn't just see your nose and your eyes and your hair and your yarmulke appeared no beard he sees what's going on inside what is going on inside where are you where are you coming from what happened in the past what do you want to go to and based on that and and and again why does he have that because he has article but kindness he's a holy person and he senses that about you so he tells you you belong in Wyoming and you belong to Chicago and you should be an engineer you should be a rove and you should go to kill and you should go to college everyone he if you ask him he sentences what you're the soul needs to fulfill its mission on earth that is a basic belief of all custody not just about so being that Lubavitch Chabad Lubavitch is part of the bow shem tov model it's a Hasidic reap so I wanna I just wanted to spend a few minutes I'm making it clear that before we jumped a burglar baggage we have to know it's called the Chabad Lubavitch a Hasidic and fascism begins with Baal Shem Tov as I said before then we get to Shabbat which is the understanding and and kind of de Lautrec approach to Hasidic the Cape but not to remain aloof cold apathetic and remove but to to be integrated into our lives in a warm way a russet was always known we say either a vitamin A vitamin he's a young person he's a one person both in his human relationships and his godly relationships so the baggage of huset you could see him family shoppers for hours and not that he got up at ten eleven o'clock he got up at five six but it was learning in the morning for two three hours and then he meditated and he was miss Bunyan and God was a shame as its brought into souffl nerdo and then he thousand Mila - Mila and he and he cried and he last etc etc so this is the fine kite the warmth was in the closet so this is the world of the baggage it's brief it's not an elaborate explanation and just to conclude this section all of this came to America with the previously I would've been abusive yitzhak in 1940 he passes on a 1950 Delap less Labov echad ever becomes there ever in 1951 and until his passing a gimmick commas touch 1994 and he was and he was ill for
