i'm good at the day we're on page 327
and country somalian
um let's learn the kids here at the
bottom of 327.
kale at night the gama yes i don't have
kids at 320. i don't have a quickstart
at the bottom of 327. i have one on 329.
uh then you and i have different copies
yeah what you sure
no
3 20 we're we're at the kids earn page
that's what i thought wow so that means
you and i have different pages
it's very strange okay
late night matri itself
uh the names of hashem kale not nigh the
numerical equivalent
is 96. this name
of hashem is known in kabbalah shame the
asia
it's the name of asiya of the world of
asea right there's a world of
action so
this is associated with the world of
action
okay
the the bowing to the
sun the area the next page and the moon
while masala is in the constellations
they function and serve only as tools
and instruments
filters allowing the flow of gosmius
to to pat to to to go through it
to be filtered through it avalhamazoli
but the constellations themselves
they cannot leila they can't actually
give hashball
they can't prevent hashball in other
words if hashem
decides he wants to be mushby he wants
to give shafa
can the constellations can they say no
hashem
we object no they can't
be
they are only like an axe in the hand
of the chopper the person who uses the
axe to chop the wood or whatever he's
chopping
so the constellations are also just
like the acts they have no independency
[Music]
what they only have it's kind of like
the angels that they only have one
mission
um well that's kind of
if the word kind of is important
because the that's another nakuda one
one or two missions
but here he's saying that even within
their mission they're not about
boss they're not independent you follow
the the difference in the nuance
here is saying that even in their
mission they're not
the bala boss the the independent
where they can just say i'm giving it
now i'm not giving it now it's not up to
you
who's the one that makes the sun rise
and the moon shine and everything else
and if hashem wants the sun to come out
today it's coming out and from the
rays of the sun there's going to be two
of them make it
itself is godliness the shepherd is not
constellations
constellations the shepherd is godliness
and with hashem's desire he changes the
constellations by his will
and this is an important there's a
there's this this ain't israel
israel israel have no muzzle
and what does that mean we say mazel tov
so we do have a muzzle
so let's explain to see this that
the level of israel transcends muzzle
and don't read don't read that saying
ain mazel but re rather read it i in
aleph yud nun can be read ain no
which means none or it can be read
yes something from nothing it's a very
holy
high level i in mausoleus royal
the level of iron is a jews muslim
which is mazel tov
the rambam writes that
we're not allowed to follow uh
astral astrology
astrology you know the whole idea of i
was born in this month and
this is my mazel and things like that
that rambam says it's us
it's forbidden why because ain't masoli
israel
a jew is greater than mazel so you can't
say that because you're born
in the month of uh the other i think
which is mazel dog
fish i think or whatever it's muzzle is
therefore you're limited
to that region and that ex and that
experience
says that no
comes along see this and see this says
it's not a contradiction
you you understand the contradiction
that i asked you before why do we say
mazel tov
mazel tov doesn't mean just
congratulations that's a
that's that's the technical incorrect
meaning of mazel tov
mazeltov means may you may you have
a drip a dripping mazel comes from the
word with noiselim
min levonon dripping from lebanon
a posik the it's it's dripping from on
high
into you
that drip should be a good one
so we wish each other mazel tov that
that you today have a birthday you today
have a celebration
it you should get hashball you should
get sustenance
and influence from
the source and there should be no
blockage
that's the meaning of mazel tov
so the question is that rambam says
that a that you're not allowed to
believe in masolis
and the jew is not dictated and governed
by masalas
so see this says it's not a
contradiction
because the rambam is right but what's
mazel i in masali israel
that the the level of i in which
transcends constellations is the jewish
is the jewish muslim
and what so this over here why am i
saying this because the last line of the
kitchen that ever says that
says
and it's with hashem's will that he
shatters convention
shall hammazoli's
now someone will say you know your
family
if we trace your family history we see
they had you know this this issue was
good
and this issue was bad
are we to expect that the same will
continue for the future generations
and now i'll make it even more personal
and therefore i don't want to marry her
or him or
or i do want to marry her her or him
because their mazel if you look back the
hundred the last hundred years hasn't
been great
in this area in that area is that an
acceptable
jewish attitude
says see this no it's not
why because a yi does not dictate it by
mazel a yi is greater than muzzle
now if you do nothing to change your
muzzle
then your muzzle will just continue
being the way it is
so then the question is how do we
discern between hereditary
issues and muzzle issues
in other words hereditary issues
seemingly
are genetic
and if you look and trace and study
you know history and situations
you're apt to find
certain tendencies and patterns in
families and in people
so how do you reconcile the two
so we find in ghazal
later generations of hasidis and other
forms
musser like we learned earlier in this
country
mayan what if you are in the storage
house
your storage house for blessing you're
only blessed with health
and god forbid not children can you
change that
and that brought the story with the
belgentive
that you can if you identify with the
sadiq and have the sadhik go to bat
for you and the tsadik only goes to bat
for you if you are dedicated beceira's
nephesh
as i told you the arizona rights to that
otherwise he's not going to bat for you
and you're stuck to whatever the
hashem gives you
since you ask a question how do we know
you could know if you if you're if
you're studious
and if you're attentive to patterns and
tendencies
i believe you could know
i've seen this in families where there's
some very serious issues of suicide
i've seen it in health issues i've seen
in the wealth issues
and i'm sure if you paid attention and
probably you have
you see the same thing but to say
that i can't change that that's a
fallacy
that's not a torah attitude you can
change it
if you want that's what the point says
it over the sinai
it's hashem's will with his will
you can shatter convention
all the rules and regulations my
grandmother was an alcoholic my
grandfather beat my wife
and my grand-grandfather was a was a
robber and he was a toddic and all these
type of things
are all a box it's all in a box
every individual every year is given
a kayak to connect to the essence and to
shatter that convention
and this is a very important quote and
you should know that
i want to tell you live this way what do
i mean
i know someone who a girl who was going
for
not just once but was going for a
and there was a question
and the boy she was going to meet was a
question whether
uh you know the parents
kept the mick verbs family purity before
conceiving and if you look into the
zoyara cottage
zarya carter says some very very serious
statements about an offspring coming
from
from a uh beneath
so they wrote it and they were very
froome
so they wrote to the rebel they're
concerned about what it says and desire
and they don't want to go ahead with the
the rabbit took his little pencil that
ebba used to write with a pencil
and he would use the pencil and get this
and this and this
and this and this literally like this
it i think i told you once one of the
secretaries ravi rochdaine
he once came in with these big pencils
that you went at carnivals you know the
large pencils
when you go to a bazaar you know a coney
island of my days you know
and he and he gave the rabbit such a
large pencil and they ever broke out
smiling it was like saying rapper
stop it with your little pencils using a
regular big pencil
but the rebel was very not frugal but he
didn't
everything that could be used for hashem
he didn't want to waste it anyway
so the rabbit took his little pencil and
he made a big
x a big x
on the concern of what it says in zayer
about this person meeting the other
person because their parents didn't
make didn't go to the midford maybe
didn't go
and this was not just once but several
times
meaning and the rabbit knew the zoya are
better than the person and the reb was
more concerned about the zoya
so what's the explanation it says in the
zaya i mean
you know it's nice to say the rabbit
knew desire better and all that but
the fact is it says it in desire
and what's the answer the answer is what
we just learned
desire is talking about a normal
situation you're right in a normal
situation it is what it is
but then it has the kayak to transcend
and be abnormal never forget that we are
abnormal
if anyone tells you you're normal say if
you've now insulted me
we are transcendent of normalcy
iron muscle be israel not ain't muslim
be israel
we can transcend so yes it says that in
desire
desire is talking about a normal
situation
but if you do truva and tuva means that
when you come from
knowing nothing and being raised with
nothing
and being educated with nothing and then
you make a turn in your life
and you become a real balteshuva and you
start and you reject all the nourish
guidance that you didn't know about that
you lead a
lifestyle you described the toyota
mitzvahs you have
transcended all desires and all the
statements
and that's what they're ever meant with
this big x what i told you now
never forget never and share it the
people in betrayment
because this is very important this is
not emphasized enough
in the non-chabad community you know
but this and i'm not saying this to make
someone feel good
this is reality according to the
writings of the toyota yes yay
so for one second so i don't know i'm
finding this to be a little bit of a
steward because i'm having a hard time
understanding
the advantage of as
[Music]
if the whole point is transcendence my
grandfather was this my grandmother was
this
and then you know that person turns into
a volunteer but
why shouldn't matter any anything
useless any kind of
thing so so in our model
uh our meaning in the chabad model
especially
emphasized by the rebbe
nothing if there wasn't a one in front
of all those in front of all the zeros
and and and and again
this was literal in other words and
let's talk about the rebrush shop let's
let's go back you know i said the rebel
let's go back to rashad there was rabbi
in 1897 makes a yeshiva called
right he says in his uh
what we call tagline in his mission
statement sorry his mission statement
the rashford says i didn't come to make
yeshiva just for the good
name and the tamid and the best
bakarim in my yeshiva
everyone is welcome as long as
you you you want to have yiddish
you're welcome and he says clearly i'm
not interested
from what yikus and gesha you come from
and guess what from the strongest tell
me them in
in terms of in 1897 to 1910
were k were bakarim from either
non-kapat homes or if they came from
khabar homes it was
you know that that 30 40 year gap from
uh from 1870 1880 to 19 to
1900 30 year gap was a tremendous
breakdown
in yiddish kite i think i told you once
but there's there are several leaders of
the zionist movement the early 19th turn
of century
ganesan is one of them origanessen
and take a picture you can see this
online take a picture of his father look
at his father's picture
of you the beard till his belly button
and take a picture
of him clean-shaven
no yarmulka looks like a communist
of the worst kind okay put them side by
side
and he went to haider his father think
had a hey the uh yeshiva
he was a babachi boy but never
the times
and the same was with shazaar before he
became about teshuva
and many of those those people i mean
hillary i think hillary told me once
about his own relatives
the satan family was a great
hasidic family the satan family and then
in the middle there was a law
it was a breakdown cotton it was a
destruction
then they came back some
hillary but the point is that the kuda
is the nakuda is that
the yikus is helpful yani
when you have the one in front of it of
the zeros
and that's the answer so in other words
for example
the rebels shita and the laba toshita
was not to look for yikos in the
shidduch
if you got yikus it was an extra
bonus point
yes hilla the kamara tells a story uh
a muscle of this he says in the
in the in the jungle the king of beasts
the lion hears
that uh there's a new creature in town
and so he sends his uh aid
claiming to be the king of beasts who's
a combination of a lion
and a bear and uh wolf
and uh he um so he
he uh so he sends his aid
to to go uh inquire about her and he
finds this
new creature holding forth with all the
all the creatures surrounding him
so he says so he says to him
he says to who are you and he says i
my grandfather was a lion
and he's and he says yes your
grandfather is alive so where are you
and he says my
my father was a bear and he says
yes but who are you and he says well i'm
a dog
[Laughter]
a little humbling to the whole you yeah
yeah
yeah yeah now you know
the fact is in other communities
plays a much bigger role and
they have they have to explain their uh
approach and i don't believe there is
really a
um a very philosophical uh explanation
you know it's something that's so
ingrained in the dna
of individuals that you could talk to
you're blue in your face and it ain't
gonna change you know
but uh the rapper the rapper
that ever and and i want to make another
point i know
we're we're not learning to get inside
but the rabbit didn't say this and feel
this because he had to make bali true or
feel good
because after all the babachir ebba was
the one who
you know you know developed and started
the kind of the big belt trooper
movement and
people went along and and flame and
everyone you know what i'm saying
but the rebel was a a leader or the
leader or whatever
and oh so therefore if today
more than 50 percent of chabad and maybe
75 percent
of bali chuva or children from bali
trouba or grandchildren from bali trouba
so of course how you yeah you you if you
walk if you highlight yikos it's it's
it's a contradiction that's not what i'm
saying
because the rapper was an ish ms was an
honest person
that ever said it because it's ms it's
godliness
because from god's perspective
is the zeros and without the one it's
nothing
okay in other words akane is a client
and a lady is a lady and are you
stronger israel
but if you have the kaihana bismarck
the commissioner says they were a lot of
them were thieves
and robbers and desolates and and and
no you want to be such a client i would
never marry such a client
right boss client whatever it's like
on the other hand on the other hand on
the other hand everyone can do trouba
everyone
so what we look at is the person's
own individual task and
i'll just give you some the noise of
people that are known
in heritage role rabbi uh rabbi
gaffney who today isn't fast he was for
years of bernay brock and he headed the
yeshiva
i mean rebecca gaffney was brought to
you described primarily by my wife
zayder of zalman cerebransky
and the hasidim okay and and
he he he was a gayer and he's
and he's one of the strongest minds of
hasidis my father heard him say at my
mercedes for like an hour to two
and a brock you know race in 1980
i remember my father coming home and
saying saying
who is this guy i mean i never heard his
name my father you know was amongst the
barbecue bucharam and
in lord with the mashpia know what i'm
saying and he he
he said who is this johnny come lately
who's this guy
i mean for two hours he's saying a minor
of the rest shop
you see how long these my mother are
right
and this was someone who
just refined himself rabbi ginsburg
rabbi yitzha ginsburg he's about to
shuver do you know that
of 60 of 60 years whatever seven
so there is no there is no where you
know
the the host thing um and in the babbage
today
pretty much pretty much there are still
some holdouts
you know but pretty much um
it's been uh an accepted thing and i
i know for my own family and i see
around you know
there's there's a big integration
between the two
now the other issue is
whether the style of about the shuver
family
and the style of a from birth family as
they say
through the styles match and do people
could they live together are they on the
same wavelength
that's an important issue but has
nothing to do with yields it has to do
with
how the family was raised so if one
family
if one person there are certain family
values
and and again there i wouldn't say it's
baltimore versus ffb from from birth
there is a tinge
there is some of that but it's really
how we know about teshuva families and
probably you do too
that they raise their children like
anyone any any
any from birth person and there's no
difference you know what i'm saying so
it really depends
on the the way the family of the values
and
and the way they were raised okay and
and you have some families from real you
know gaza khabad and real you know yikes
and all that and they
and they they raise the family in very
modern ways and i wouldn't go
next to them you know so it's not
that the host means automatically
that it's are there are there such
people still that hold out and for them
yikes is everything
yes but that's their own stick
okay i want to go on let's continue
pedic base
329.
the reason why hashem made it so
that the physical influence
goes is filtered through the
constellations
[Music]
according to the two opinions in the
essence of the hesitation
leaks of the other that was designated
to membership you keeper
commission as it is
is very simple meaning it is very
um very uh plain
non-detailed veined by a dying seer
again
he's referring to this word seer the
whole time it doesn't have the imagery
of
him and the actual material
matter that's one opinion they are based
and the second opinion
is
in itself also has a dossier according
to the first opinion
[Music]
doesn't have hazardous in it according
to the second opinion it does
[Music]
and it has all the subsequent
results of that
[Applause]
this is the level of oil in the
spiritual highest ability
but we said earlier the previous chapter
that nevertheless the actual material
gosh miss is not there
in order to have gosh miss children
health
[Music]
we need vessels villavushim and garments
of which worlds the brilliancy rcm
that causes the sea or the image
what do the garments do they hide the
person
they hide the energy they hide the light
this causes that there comes to be
a form an existence of yesh the gosh
of material
had his existence come to be your do it
the rashtrap says
it's known it's through the concealment
the commercial cause of voracious
boro elokim in the beginning hashem
created
the whole indian abria the whole idea of
berea
borah of creation but plyo in actuality
why they shame elokim it doesn't say
boracious borah utk
vufke it says branches borrow the kim
what is
this
it's the attribute of judgment
contracting the light and concealing it
and that is and and when you do that it
makes it possible
for there to be borrow creation
for the sun and its shield it's similar
to hashem
and elokim
just as the uh as a shield on the sun
it's the cover that covers the very sun
bowl
the laser is if we're not for the shield
aim behind us
the creatures and creation would not be
able to handle the intensity of the sun
and therefore the shield by concealing
the air the sunbull the essence
of the sun it makes it possible to get
benefit from the sun
and it came with shame elohim so too the
name elohim
it conceals what the essential name of
your kevke
making it possible to benefit from next
page
and what's the reason of this this
because when the light
when the energy shines in a revealed way
us aims to matrias there cannot be
existence
on the contrary a revelation of light
polio betelge it causes an annulment
of existence the hedorah and a lack
thereof
conversely when the light is concealed
nasa what is created what is formed what
comes to be
is existence the whole hester yo
said and the greater the concealment
yes you have more the existence of the
yes
and now he brings it back to our
discussion
in the three worlds of creation
formation in action
the lower the world
the the the hesset becomes more
materialized
more formal more felt more of a reality
the trilogy
initially the hesset garbs itself
in the garments of brie
and what happens it becomes an existence
because remember moshe the way chris it
is
it's non-existent it's idea so first it
comes into what's called
hessen of bria and that gives place for
it to become mitsuyot like the example i
gave you
the the teacher at the fact that it
comes to the classroom
that itself is the initiation of
realization that there's something
else outside of the teacher that exists
and before you establish that you can't
teach
you have to avi you have to recognize
and you have to
feel give credence to another existence
bria is the l is the area is the concept
is the experience that there's something
else that's
let's continue and he says
so the light the energy yoni has to go
through another concealment
by ila matsira yitzira for it to be more
materialized in other words
in each stage it requires another
concealment obviously
[Music]
the light has to pass through not only
bria
but also the level of it's here in the
level of asia and we call this
his slap shoot investment dm locating it
for if not
[Music]
the r would not have an impact of this
world hagash with the physical world
[Music]
it's not adequate the yesh that was
created in bria
because it's still it still has has an
attachment
to what's higher than it ava
dying because in comparison to cedar
it's still spiritual
but as we said earlier even when it goes
through the ten
emanations of yasida and narcia so you
would think now it's ready to
play ball it's not a ball time yet
okay we're not starting the ball game
yet why because it's still roughness
key
yeah it's still the warm-ups exactly
exactly well said
it has to invest itself in the vessels
and garments the insiders
which conceal even more alloy light
[Music]
and it becomes more materialistic more
gosh
[Music]
the point being that each time it's more
of a progress
next page
that's why remember we asked the
question what's the purpose of the
constellations
it says that ashab this is why
it has to also filter through the
um the masalas the constellations
so that when it when so that it should
really be materialized
so it's very interesting it's like an
oxymoron in other words
we want it to be more gosh me so that we
benefit more from it
the less gosh me is it the less we
benefit from it even though you would
think
the less gosh me it's more holy it's
more refined
it's true it's more refined but we have
nothing from it
we have nothing from it you can be a
spiritual
seeker and devolved kazakh and
everything
but if you wanted to count here it has
to be
down here it's a very interesting point
because we talk about rook nears
the rook what's the word hillary what's
the nakuda in the kuda is
today's it's the days that you enjoyed
gives gash mirrors
to make of the gas mias but you need the
kashmir's
the whole if you you know and this is
this is by the way i'm now writing about
khabar and bressler for a future book
mr shem some i'm you know studying about
it thinking about it
and one of the ideas that is that is
seeing the chabad
ethos and approach is to take the
gospels and make the gospels of
this and as long as it's not
gas it's lacking in the ears but
you could say what it means lacking in
the rookhnius
because if luchnius is not felt
from the perspective of kashmir you
don't have the ultimate of luchnius
let's continue and he says
that's why casa has to go through the
constellations
every garment conceals and the lower the
garment the more concealment for the
rain
is sloppy when it invests itself in the
constellations
you have the very hazard of
heaven in the gospels we don't we don't
want it tampered with acid
imagine you get a hazard that's been
tampered with it's like
a molecule with a broken leg i don't
want a molecular broken leg
which by the way one of the things that
always scared me when i was a booker
i was taught as a young boy that if you
say hebrew
if you're davin and you make mistakes
and you're davening you're creating
uh you're creating um uh crippled
malachi
that's what i was taught as a young boy
and it stayed on my head
so i was always working what
we were taught like that bad angels yeah
but
but but the way i was told it wasn't bad
angels crippled angels you know they're
they're an angel but they're crippled so
you you so
you beam a diet to say the word yes god
dawg not yes kadal with a cough
it's years god go with a gimbal
and most people say iskado just listen
to the show you'll see your scholarly
scottish main robber
he's cuddle wrong he is goddau
gimmel
yes pillow yeah and so
having a broken leg is a big issue for a
mallet because they only got one leg
they're called omdim
let me just finish the paragraph the the
point
is that he says here that the tested
discuss it that's what i'm saying
you could say mushroom you say what's
wrong i'll have
question of etsyra hey that's that's a
that's a hefty a hefty prize
no no no because that's not going to
materialize in this world and i need a
broker here
on earth you understand so
so yes it's what's the he what's the
word in english a progenator uh
they'd say a prelude and a beginning
and and a catalyst it's all right but
but paul mamash i need it down there
let's continue
que la voce
because the garments of the spiritual
worlds are spiritual garments
so how much can a spiritual garment
accomplish only spirituality
the spiritual garments cannot make a
physical
impact
so that's why it requires the
constellations
the filter of the constellation of the
masolis
[Music]
upon the air of underaction
they make it possible for there to be a
physical
their job is one job only to make it be
materialized so that's why the sun and
the moon
create a cucumber a sweet cucumber
i can have a cucumber without this moon
you want a sweet cucumber you need the
moon
and i want a sweet cucumber i want i
want to taste it should taste good
now let's take a taste it's bitter and
throw it away like we know right
no i want a good cucumber
so the mailer you want not just the
cucumber you want the
maggot right the pasta glittery avi me
mega
garrison you want the sweetness of a
cucumber
you need the masalas
the hashem sustains the world entire
betuve
with his goodness became with his grace
because of this kindness
we want it
and how much it makes a resolution for
the future
[Music]
through our trooper withdraw it into
accidents
is like a summary and it invests itself
in the garments
[Music]
