Charity Giving is Guarantee for all needs and wants- Tanya Igeres HaKodesh 3b- Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

we're learning the letters of the AL that the children of the Alba appended to Tanya and it became the fourth section of Tanya and most of the letters talk about the virtue of Sedaka and in particular SED Ro in this letter letter number three Al says some amazing things and that being that there's a virtue to the Mitzvah of over all other Mitzvah so to to understand that first he introduces and explains to us what the idea of mitzvas are in general and he Compares mitzvah but he doesn't actually say it openly but Mitzvah are compared to TI study study is the idea of it's the soul the food for the soul MIT is considered the the garments for the soul a person needs to eat and a person needs to have clothing and a home for their protection and benefit the difference is that the the food that we eat is digested internalized it's what we call it's p conversely mitz you don't necessarily understand the reasoning behind this Mitzvah and that Mitzvah even if there is a reason brought in the T in the the idea of a Mitzvah the word Mitzvah means a commandment a commandment to a commander right so whatever the commander says I do and it's brought that mitah also comes from the word means connection a binding that when you do a Mitzvah you're bound to God Almighty the point being that mitzvas in compared the observance of mitzvas that hasem wants of us Jews is to experience the Mak the or Mak the encompassing energy and in a way the or Mak is greater than the Ori so you would think that when you study T and you digest it and understand it there's nothing greater than than than that so the AL says there is from a different angle and that's mitzvah because Mitzvah draws down the Mak so on one hand you don't understand necessarily what you're doing but you're following the Commander in TI study being that it's up to the individual to understand the T we're talking about the study of T not the Mitzvah of T the study of it depends on how you digest it it depends on what type of food you're eating and how you digest it so in other words in study it lends itself more to the individual's ego to the individual's moods to the in individual's understanding when it comes to Mitzvah performance it's not based on our mood or our understanding Hashem says put F on I don't care if you're in a bad mood in your good mood it makes a difference to me you put filling on that's what I want of you so what is heard what is felt in the Mitzvah observance the periphery the overall connection so in a way that is greater than Titus study because Titus study depends on your mind and depends on your mood and depends on your feelings and all of that in Mitzvah it's not about you it's about God do do God's will explains that this is the idea of the the willower within the soul the willow doesn't have one particular Abode to say look my willpower is in my fingers when I want to go like this it's in my finger my willpower but it's only there it's not when I I want to TW twitch my ear touch my ear no The Power of Will R is equal throughout the entire body however however where is the ruton felt most in the cup in the head but not that it it not that its seat and Abode belongs to the head no will power the power of will is similar throughout every part of the body but who is the one where is where is the place where it's uh it it's AR it's um it's felt more the nerve center the brain so the nerve center recognizes the virtue of willpower so when the finger wants to go like this the brain sends a signal to the willpower go like this and when you want to go like this go like that with this analogy we'll understand what the AL teaches us here about Seda and this particular verse in Isaiah of Yeshua made be armor armor that has scales the C and a hat on its head the C yeshu and a hat of Salvation on its head a very very interesting verse in yesaiah so until now we've learned about the first part of the verse that the way way to access S and the virtue of Seda is it's not just another Mitzvah but the virtue of s is that it it it brings down the infinite light the infinite energy of hasem Below on Earth other mitz when you put Fon in the morning you put a muuza on your door you don't necessarily see and know what it accomplishes right here on Earth why and as I says here that in ganen when you when you do a Mitzvah you've scored the point you've gone over the the goal line you you made a touchdown right but it's not yet recorded on the scoreboard what is recorded on the scoreboard with why because the scoreboard is not visible or it's not there but you cross the goal line you put the fillan on did I accomplish something this morning putting on till absolutely where is it I don't know the answer is it's in Paradise it's in ganen in Gaden there's a place for each and every one of us Minaj's Place y's place my place h velv a and our Mitzvah get stored over there and those Mitzvah that we do become a protective shield for us but in the spiritual sense conversely SED says the Al it's it's a great that he says it here in that not only does it remain aloof in Paradise but guess what it actually trickles itself down in its with its full force of passion into long life into wealth into honor that's what we learned yesterday and the question is why why does Seda have this benefit over other Mitzvah so before I answer the why I I remind you of the statement test me the only Mitzvah you're allowed to test God is the MIT you can't say to God like this God it says honoring my father and mother you'll have you'll have long life I honor my father and my mother and I've done a b and c to honor them and let's say someone let's say a parent a friend and they died at 55 years old go for a b where's the long life they were excelled in kav yeah but re it doesn't mean necessarily in this life could be in the next life as well that's not what the says that's your inter interpretation and maybe there's other interpretations but the when it says literally it means this life don't don't the fact that there's other insights and interpretation it's very nice but let's take the verse in its simple text so so the point I'm getting at is the AL says that the for now I'm supporting what Yi said but I I want to exp I don't you have to know that the verse and the literal meaning you do create you do create now long life but it's a spiritual long life in G if Hashem wants and we do the right thing in the right time and in the right way it somehow comes down and we actually have long life but there's no guarantees but long life as a concept was created by K the MIT is we're talking about here on Earth on earth and the AL says only Seda has that ability because when you give Seda right you draw down the infinite light of Hashem to Earth to the P to us over here now what we don't know and what we see is that sometimes it doesn't end up being in long life it ends up being a wealth sometimes not a wealth it's it's a it's an honor sometimes it's not an honor it's in other areas but no question that the result this is the this is what's most important the result of giving T is that the comes down into the into the physical world that's what we learned yesterday now let's continue and and uh we are okay if you're using lessons in t you would be page 43 otherwise it's last page in Tanya I don't have a regular Tanya but he says who causes the desent of hashem's infinite light the orak to come into the physical world you remember yesterday going through the 10 channels called the 10 aminations the 10 which we which we said yesterday is the body there is the SPH as they are in the head which we'll talk about soon but in this case we're talking about the body who it's the of so remember you guys say everyone says it like I said says it once a day others say it for every Mitzvah but everyone says so what are you doing when you're saying some people shake away and scream and what are you actually saying there's a meaning to the words for the purpose of of unity right is bless holy Blessed Be he but the word is the god that is Kos that is removed that is Mak you unite it through this Mitzvah that you're going to do which is dwells in dwelling which is you bring together the peripheral Right light the or together with the p light Ori in in in other terminology you bring together that's that's that's what you're doing when you do a mitvah and now you do the and how does that take place through the Mitzvah so this is true about every mitvah let's continue it's an additional amount of energy from the infinite light of the Creator in other words through the Mitzvah you're adding through the you're adding energy the light that pervades the world is all a reality is also a reality but they're all they're in their own worlds right they're in their own Worlds how do you unite how do you unite them and you bring them together so that they benefit the entire world that's through the Mitzvah the initial additional amination and effluence he it comes to the first of the 10 okay now like I told you before the servant that serves the master and does whatever the master is wants sorry needs to recognize that this is the master if if if you take a a a servant out of a foreign country for example and the person doesn't recognize Who the Master is oh timately they won't they won't serve they have to have recognition in their head that this is the master says that when you do the the the energy comes but it first goes through the first of the 10 spheres because kma recognizes the greatness of an accomplishment of of this unity and if HMA would not recognize it it wouldn't be able to go further to the rest of the nine spheral that's what he said and therefore based on this he says who and now drb explains the second part of the PK in yes yeshu and a helmet of salvation is upon his head when you give SED you create not only a shield with scales you actually create something more you create a helmet you know you ride your bike or your scooters I'm sure they do that AR just SP too make sure you wear a helmet cuz God forbid if you fall down and you don't wear a helmet you're in big trouble so the AL says what's the helmet the the helmet is the let's see what he says Yeshua what about yeshua's so normally Yeshua means salvation interprets here the word yua Yeshua in the PK from another Hebrew word used in the Torah by Ken and heav VHA let's look what he says he says and God turned towards heaven and his gift and he accepted it right what's Happening Here Yeshua AB normally means salvation help but the word Yeshua is associated as well with the word VHA what does VHA mean and he turned what when you turn do you necessarily know the details no someone calls you by the name Mas you turn around he doesn't know Masha he doesn't know right Masha you turn around so it's makif it's not P I don't know anything about Basha all I know his name is B and I call him but guess what happen happens without knowing who Mas is when you turn you say the name Mas he turns around God turned to eel to he and to his sacrifice in the story of K he in Genesis Andes meaning God was so moved by the act that he gave the world a a general experience similar to turning your head when you're called in other words it's not detail it's not P it's Mak but it's very important it's very over it's not not overwhelming it's the which is very important so the AL says that when it says in the in yes the Yeshua a hat of Sal in on the head a helmet he says the helmet represents a certain style of Salvation you hear that what's the style of Salvation then he employs the other atmology of the word yesu VHA it's a turning like of God to the world to in this case to he and to his sacrifice in other words God says I like what you're doing I don't necessarily know what you're doing in detail but the fact that you brought a sacrifice turns me on in other words the favorability of he didn't doesn't come from the details of he but it comes from the overall he just listening to God and it's such an important lesson for us when we listen to our even if we don't necessarily understand it yet but the fact that we're able to put aside our feelings our upbringing our our Western way of thinking and we turn to God meaning we listen to God that is tremendously favorable in God's eyes and just as you turn to him like heel turned to Hashem through the sacrifice so does God give you a turn like experience which is the benefit that he going to talk about a minute let's continue what is that okay what does the word mean he turned V is the conjunction yesha is shin the root word of yesha the root word of yesha not of Yeshua is sha Shin turn I believe so Shin is 370 so the Z says the holy Z says Shin represents 300 Energies because how many spheros are there 10 right 10 spher if you take 10 spheros and you times them by three I'm not going to go into Y3 you get 300 three is the first of the three of the 10 spheros you're left with seven 7 * 10 is 7 so the first three are times by 100 each you get 300 and the Seven other SP from through malus which is seven is Times by 10 which you get 100 uh you get 70 70 7 * 10 is 70 so you put them together it's 310 there's something called 370 energies now don't get confused with the end of the gamar you know in another tractate that gives the it says right 310 worlds we're not talking about the 310 here we're talking about 370 so again it's detailed con Concept in is saying what is caused when hasem turns to you what happened when Hashem turned to eil and to his sacrifice showing favoritism favor ability there was the he he gave the he gave him these 370 energies continuing and as we say this is you need to think about this the next time they do which I believe they do every day in I think mayem face his countenance beum at to you May's face illuminate us for eternity for us who day it's through you want hashem's countenance give in other words here H says is making an interesting jump he's saying that the equivalent of the 370 energies which is a concept in the Z is exper will be experienced when you give Seda because when you give Seda you're getting hashem's countenance hashem's continence is also the 300 is the same idea as the 370 energies That's The Power of giving Saka now you know let's call it spade a spade what is this I don't know I don't know I could just but whatever it is it's big stuff and and to say hashem's face his face his panim shines remember we know how when a person walks around with a with a shiny face with a smiley face not [Music] like that itself is so inviting even if inside you're upset and you I talk to myself about this sometimes not that I'm set I'm just in a mode of thinking and right but then I have have to say how's the other person perceiving me like I'm very serious and square and like I want to be to myself you know there's no shine there there's no illumination so I'm in my little bubble in my little world but what's the other so it's an a to be able to be in your own world and the same time to have a shine to have a to have a glow right so the AL say when you give that's what you accomplish it's like a like a kind of automatic glow someone came over this morning I was out waiting to to get a ride to leave sh to come to this she to give this she someone thought I'm collecting sck I was in the back of Sho say gave me he gave me a dollar I said I'm not collecting S I said if you give me you got to give a $1,000 I don't take a dollar anyway that was just a joke so so he says could you dve him for me today I'm having a very important meeting a business meeting and I said sure why does a person ask another person doesn't I don't know if he observed me when I was daving I have no idea the true right but when when you're when you have glow when you have a a liking it attracts people says does that so that's a very important thing let's just conclude it give you the Thousand um I'm con I know that if he'll have it he'll give it to me okay it's a guarantee I I don't need to ask that question because if Hashem will bless him I he'll put it into the bank for me I'm sure but that's not relevant I have to D for him $1,000 yeah not if he wants to give Seda to the causes that I'm involved withing but not that the the the the should be dependent on it's ridiculous want you anyway let's continue says there's another verse of R it says plant charity and reap salvation so again there right literally it says yeshu but as the Al said earlier you're going to reap the the 370 energies when you plant when you give and he finishes the letter right wrote this to to his they saying so may Hashem shine his countenance upon them upon all of you the readers and and and again he wrote this letter to get them to give to the causes that your giving will stand forever on your behalf this is a very very I'm still trying to understand in many details here it's a very very complicated letter and you know to understand the difference between s and all mitzvas but this is I believe uh in a nutshell what the AL is is is is teaching Us and how important it is to give and and just to go back when he said it every little bit adds up right and the question was it's of course we know that the answer is it adds up in a way if you remember what I taught you yesterday that it goes to the right place and that's something that we don't like talking about but we we need to I mean sometimes the the the it goes to the wrong place cuz the has when the overall energy comes into the world everyone can grab and as we see look what the the Arabs have grabbed some energy and they're using it in a bad way so we need to give SED to assure that the little holes that are left in the shield are covered up on one hand you need room air to breathe you can't have the the the shield on your body so you need to put something behind but that little thing allows air in it protects you from the arrows from the at the and at the same time and let some of the air so that you could breathe right so in the in the moral it means that the Mitzvah protects you from the arrows that's the enemy grabbing the energy and abusing it or using it for their negative things against Jews and at the same time it it it shines forth into our life to help us in a practical way have a great chabas we'll see you on Monday Z and everything bye I was joking I wasn't serious I know that I know I know that I know you weren't serious but the lesson is still important okay
