uh i believe we're at the kitzer on page
about to start the new mimer mimer 15 on
page 215.
is is that correct moshe am am i at the
right place
yeah i have to be more careful now
i have two hawks of watching me anyway
covertoy kitzer 252 13. covertoyed
a good friend help someone find
the blemishes the deficiencies of spirit
of character
um and helps
the individual a good friend helps us
uproot the bad uh
ideologies and philosophies called dales
um and he helps us
remove our ugly character traits
and he also helps us number three
and to acquire good traits
so here we have three beautiful things
that a good friend
and in a way if you want to know if you
are a good friend or if you have a good
friend
ask yourself does my friend help me
change those issues up here that are
warped
number two number two
does my friend help me remove me this
royce
not nice things of character and number
three
does my friend help me acquire
good traits more good traits
that's what the rapper says here cover
it up
what about a bad friend goedem
[Music]
he causes the rooting from the word
the rooting of your dearest higher deals
of um of ideologies philosophies
shitas and behavior and character
behavior that are no good
well we come to hashem and we say hashem
what do you want from me
the reason i have these issues is
because my friend
was a real good friend we grew up
together
we chat together we played together
we're good friends
he convinced me he convinced me
says and the and the person argues shipa
this is a cause
she ain't true
that my truth is not complete because of
my friend
so that would be an argument to justify
why he's not doing complete shuver
us
and this this is the end of the kitchen
but it's it was the end of the chapter
which is very powerful
this argument is so foolish
it's even worse than the actual
that causes the bad okay so we have
stuss we have a foolishness that leads
us astray
but what's even worse is when you try to
justify it
it's powerful you're a greater fool if
you try to justify it
it's bad enough you you're doing what's
not appropriate
etc and you think that you're right and
you're shita right
but when you try to justify that that's
even worse
okay let's go on now to start the new
mind on page 215.
a man a man who wants to be a man and
who is a man must know
[Music]
this is an expression any man that has
brains in his head okay so that's the
expression
anyone that has any cycle and guess what
we all have brains in our head
everyone knows
this is the choice of the amongst all
creatures
man is choice is the
amongst the heavenly hosts
and man is the center of all creatures
that were created
hainu hey man of roy melinda
this is true amongst the heavenly
creatures
amongst the earthly creatures
and the rebel now begins explaining what
he means by this
[Music]
they have two things which make up a
creation
a body and a soul
for our audits this
is the common denominator between
the earthly hosts and the heavenly hosts
the immediate washroom i am called
mitzvah audits
although outwardly there's a difference
between the heavenly host and the
earthly host and what is that
is
[Music]
a combination of the four elements fire
age ruach air mayan water offering dust
and he put them together and he created
all of the
of the earthly hosts whereas
angels celestial beings
stars moon sun
are only created of two of two elements
his attendance his servants age low hate
a burning fire so which in this
possibility
what do we see that we're referring to
malachov
angels and merchants of
and you'll understand what's what does
the posix say
so from this motion we know that only
two elements out of four were used
to create the the the heavenly hosts
i.e the celestial beings the angels
the the the sun and the moon and the
stars etcetera
who says that means the moon is made out
of that
i i the answer is i i don't know i'm not
a scientist maybe someone knows science
and
reconciling i don't know but what was
the question
i didn't hear it no the question is
what he's asking is that there's studies
that there's
uh rocks and and other pla you know
other
besides fire and air there's buffer
that's what he's saying
jonasson in in space meaning in space
yes so so what came to me just as a
thought without the you know the
background of science and reconciliation
is that that doesn't mean that the moon
is comprised of
of of um does that mean that the moon is
comprised of of rocks and
and sand it seems seemingly it is
uh i i i don't know i don't know this
field
if someone knows then please yeah well i
was
i was thinking a little bit uh i was
thinking a little bit differently
um that uh
you have something i never you have this
the army of sodas is seemingly in a kind
of descending order
right like okay
so what's your point right more and more
goshmas
right right right and then the patrick
says
rishi's parallel
so it really the beginning
of uh physical life so to speak
our world's life begins with the uh
miracle the ruach merchandise
begins with water so to speak seems to
me
based on what we're saying here
okay but so what's the contradiction i'm
not hearing a contradiction
there's no contradiction i'm just sort
of i'm just sort of uh
uh amplifying a point that seems to come
out
from the fact that angelic beings
are just created created with asian
ruach
in a higher realm right that the realm
of
gosh mia so to speak begins with water
right
right okay um yoni and
jonas if you don't mind muting yourself
i'd appreciate it okay
calls uh the holes there so you
understand we need to look more into
your question
good question i don't know i'm sure the
science and torah books have a lot of
pages about this
nevertheless says that
so you know in a way what's the rapper's
point this was a rhetorical remark
to say that there's a similarity between
a common denominator
between the heavenly hosts and the
earthly host seems to be otherwise
because they're made out of four
elements and they're made only out of
two
so now comes his response his retort
because
nevertheless
there is in this one detail
there is a similarity between them
shambali
both have what we call a goof
substance a material a sun of the ball
of sun
the moon the nephesh and they have an
energizing
force which we call soul and and as far
as that concerned the xavi
we're all the same we have nephesh veruc
right and so does the
the stars in the moon now let's see how
he develops it if he does let's see
he says
[Music]
although the heavenly hosts were created
from the more refined more refined
elements i.e fire and wind
and ruach and air because
nevertheless there's there's still bali
goof
their refined bali goof but they still
have
a sore uh a goof of a material of
substance
and the heav and the the earthly hosts
water dust included right
in addition to fire and water
by the heavenly hosts is by the heavenly
host is
that they have a goof because you would
think right
they're heavenly so what do you mean
they have a goof wouldn't they have a
body
what do you mean they have material
that's what the rambam says
they have a body they have a it's a more
refined body
but they have they have some kind of
body what's the hidden what's the
novelty by
us earthly hosts that we have a soul
because you know plato aristotle and
other early philosophers they argued
no all you have is a body
and it's one time one time you got one
chance
right once it's gone finito
we say no it's not just a body
it's a body animated by a soul by a
spirit by an energy
and when the body leaves the energy
continues
where does it continue if there's no
body wherever it is
in the house at the caver here there
everywhere
right but we believe in nephesh
i'm sure you those that have taken
philosophy of course is know what i'm
talking about
that the the the argument of plato and
others was that there's no such a
concept as nephesh
or not the nephews that we talk about in
in the in the theater
let's continue so that's what the rabbit
says
that because
although the physical heavy
earthly hosts were made of four elements
which makes it more coarse more
corporeal
more geshem morgashmi youth nevertheless
it still has an efficiency the rock i
have the who between
what's the difference between the two
their nature
the tablets wash our mind the nature of
heavenly hosts
new words for some of us or all of us
or none of us but regardless the concept
called
the overpowering boras hatsura which
means the form
al-qaeda over matter form over matter
the heavenly hosts
is not as important and therefore
although you are in a body the surah the
image the form or let's use another word
the nephesh the soul
dominates and you see this sometimes by
people
some people you know they tell the story
another story there um a representative
of the uh
of the belzer rebel was by the rebbe i
heard this was someone who was in the
room
so he was lording you know how the
belzer rabbit didn't eat and didn't
sleep and and yet he survived and he was
like
praising the belzer ever so the rabbit
said to
to the person by me and the rebbe
i think met the belzorebo in europe once
or whatever
he said by me it's not a pellet that he
doesn't eat
by me is a pellet that he does eat
why because he's an israeli
he's a spiritual force he's already
so how is he eating yes motion
just your curiosity ruby dolphin which
which which belzer rabbit was
no no aaron who passed away in 1957
he was like a mother i think i told you
once the story only remember the story
of my grandfather
my grandfather lived in tel aviv 10
minutes 15 minutes i walked it from his
house
near the ocean to where the belzer had a
shul 66 aka the arm
okay i walked it myself
and and and my grandfather could have
gone and he went sometimes for trellis
but he you know he dives in a local
school and he's a vision sir he was from
vishnuts
for romania for vision it's not bell's
galicia
but after all everyone knew that belzer
ebba was
an angel whatever he said happens you
know like so why wouldn't you
and then he had an opportunity to have a
private jacidus you know to talk to them
privately
so my grandfather told my father who
told me he never did that
so my father said why not he was afraid
at the time my grandfather didn't wear a
beard and he wasn't gonna put on a beard
for whatever reason okay
so he said like this when he goes to the
vision today but
in a rock he'll come in
and he'll go ah is such a nice person i
love you you're sorry
it's called english mcgebran aglet he'll
give me a glitch like love kosher
it's smooth he'll he'll say ah you're so
nice you're so wonderful
and he said but if i go to the if when i
if i go to the
the belzeraba and he senses or sees that
i don't have a beard
and he'll just say one word and i won't
say anything
and i know that i'm not going to put on
a beard the next day i'm going to drop
dead
i'm going to die he was convinced
that this bells it ever any word that
comes out of his mouth
is fire and in a positive way and
you know i'm just telling you so he he
was uh
um uh it was known like like i told you
the story the other day with the
the boy that was speaking all of tyra
and the belzer rabbit
asked the father to go out and he spoke
to the boy whatever and he came out and
he forgot what it anyway wasn't saying
anymore so he was known as
this is this is the i didn't meet him
but this is what they say
and he didn't eat and sleep much but
that ever said the pellet is so
therefore the episode
the wonder is not that he ate that not
that he didn't eat
that that he didn't need his natural for
him
the wonder is how he did eat how did he
even have the ability to eat
if he was only rohnius and that's what
we're learning over here
someone who really is an ish
you know we talk about a spiritual
person you know we throw around this
word spiritual person
when you learn to see this and this is
again coming from you this kiss life
see this opens your head and when you
learn this
what does it mean to be an ish
it doesn't mean to have a big bank
account or a big talmud account
or a big qasidas account it means if
you're living with hooknees
and in every situation is
dominating over gastronous
[Music]
the overpowering of a form over matter
that is the definition of an ish
that's it you got it and
you don't you don't you don't need
anyone else to tell you that now you
have the rest of your life you'll be
able to decide
whoever you think is israeli or is not
you say
is he in this instance a person that's
had borders
you mentioned you mentioned
so so i don't know if i told you the
story from my grandmother
my gran my grandparents were rebels
okay when when and when hitler came
so they everybody all the hasidim they
asked my grandparents my great
my my grandparents my great grandparents
asked if they went to the rebel and they
said to the rubber
the hitler is going to break the truce
with the russians
and he's going to come get us just like
he's getting the rest of poland right
what should we do
so he told me he told my great
grandfather he says you're right
he says we got to get out as soon as
possible he says what you're going to do
is you're going to listen to my
my instructions but if you mess up on
one of the instructions i'm not
i'm not responsible but if you listen to
everything i tell you
your whole entire family will survive
the war that's what you told them and
what they tell them
is you go down to the market and you
take all your valuables whatever you
have your lobsters your your
silver better and you change it into us
dollars
you give all the us dollars to your wife
and you tell her to bake a challah
and you put the united this wasn't a
book you put all the dollars
into the into the challah and wherever
you go
wherever you go you go to slovakia they
went to slack and they went to hungary
you go with that with that piece of
khala with that you know loaf of bread
so they did that and they survived until
1944 they had walked from poland
from they were it was a place called
sanuk so sonic was on the border
between poland and ukraine now but then
it was poland
and they walked to slovakia and then
they got to slovakia there was no there
was no war there it was like the
weirdest thing they said everything
but then the germans were coming there
so they had to leave slovakia they went
to hungary
they got to hungary they they they
got arrested they got arrested not for
being a jew
because they had bought um uh false
papers
with their with their with with the
money with the dollars and they got
caught for having forged documents the
whole family
so they went they put him in jail in in
uh in buddha in buddha they put him in
jail buddha
and then what happened was there was a
guy i think his name was
a very famous guy he lived in
williamsburg afterwards his name was uh
meyer jaime or something rather his last
name
but this guy came into into the prison
and he was wearing a gestapo jacket with
you know the hat and everything
and he pointed to my my grandmother and
to her sister
so they thought that's it they're going
to be you know marched to auschwitz
and they came out and there was a
parking lot and
he took off his cap he was wearing a
yamaha name is kai meier
he says i worked for al wallenberg i
worked for rowan so my grandmother
said but i have three brothers and
they're inside and they're going to get
caught
and they're going to kill my brothers so
he says i'm sorry i only have
instructions to save women and children
no men so my grandmother went to the to
the edge of the parking lot and there
was a cliff
she says if you don't take my brothers
out i'm going to jump off the cliff
he believed her he went back he saved
the three brothers
nobody died not a distant relative
no no nobody died no cousins no uncles
and they were
all in it they all you know one of my
uncles got caught
one of my uncles was in auschwitz but he
he survived amazing
that was the bell that that thank you
for sharing the story because that that
was the
that was the kayak of this belzer rev it
was like uh
let's continue okay
and he says
whereas the nature the makeup of of
earthly hosts
from the very genetics
is
it's the opposite the overpowering of
material matter
over form
speaks about this upcoming thought in
different places and he says
when we talk about a goof and an effort
a soul in a body
mach bilim um two words from the word
kabbalah to receive um the word
correspond they fit each other
you see you can't have
a high flute and soul and a low body
are gonna crash and by the way
just as a little spooky insight that's
why sometimes people have a mental
breakdown
because there isn't a mahatma
there isn't a a mesh that fits between
soul and body
and they and you know and i'm not joking
i'm not joking
that there is this concept and that's
why it's very important to
to take the goof and the nephesh and
make them
mess with each other although we always
want
the spirituality i'm a spiritual person
form over matter but nevertheless
remember you have matter
and if you don't sleep and you don't eat
you're going to have a breakdown
you have to sleep and eat let's continue
although that the soul and the body from
their essential perspective
are opposite each other
the soul is spiritual
and the body is physical
and spirituality and spirituality
and physicality in the very mahouse
in the very essence essence and core
harihoth from zamasu
are contrary to each other the holes are
nevertheless
yet overall there is a similarity
between the nephesh and the gulf and
each
can receive from the other and each
benefits from the other
the zoe next page 217
day this is one of the great
miracles of his body
and he joins together soul and body
[Music]
we say it every morning he does
acts of that are wondrous mikasa rukhtis
bhagashthi
so moshe when we say
lassos the rashaba is teaching us what
specifically uranus are we talking about
we're talking about bringing together
spirituality and physicality
goofiness that's monthly losses that's
wondrous
it makes no sense how can you bring them
both together the two opposites
and moisture but often in what way does
hashem bring them together
but often in a way um
he brings them together in such a
united way as though they are one
in other words look we wake up in the
morning
and it's natural i mean we say of course
but in other words each morning do we
need a tune-up do we need tune up to get
our soul into our body
and our body to be covered our soul no
just wipe your you say bye don't need
wash necklace
get dressed wipe your eyes and start
your day
right so so this is a kiddish
this is a great novelty i want to enjoy
this do we say
it's so wondrous it's so outrageous
to bring together two opposites and at
the very same time
when it happens it happens so natural
that's what the rashaab is saying here
that's what he's saying
look at the words
look at the word
it's as though they're best buddies
they're together
from the very beginning of their
creation but
it's like soul is body and body and soul
each one has the other one in it
it's not that way in other words
soul is soul and body is body and soul
has created a soul spirituality and body
is created as physicality
but when the abrasive brings together
soul and body
it feels as though they were created
together
that's the point and therefore
the soul and body
says brings it that soul and body is
like a lights
and vessels
the nephesh is uh light the hagufu kali
and the body is kali
now what what is he adding over here
with this hello
irving kaylee what is the symbolism
and you're interested we've learned this
and see this for years
what does what is added to our
understanding of
by kabbalah introducing the concept of
auroville kali
so that has many pages on this in his
discourses
and here he just mentions it like in a
few words without really
elaborating how to say one verb
artifically means they you know we
we we understand each other why
because the r's objective is
to shine and where does it want to shine
it shines all over but at the end of the
day it wants the shine
to be internalized right
like we said a few weeks ago when the
earth shines the only on the
on the on the garbage it's shining there
too
but nevertheless the appreciation is not
there because the garbage is not really
a kali
for the or you understand so that's why
we call that an or market an
encompassing or
a superficial or when we talk about an
arc neemi
an inner or it means the r is
for the caylee so the rashab here who's
talking about
the unity of body and soul i believe is
adding the following
that when body and soul get together
it's not just
a shine an r that inspires
and it's so inspirational that
everyone's inspired including the body
no the r is taking into consideration
the needs of the body
you hear that the r says i
i'm you're i'm i'm an or for your body
and disorder says i'm are from that body
in others the r is is is measuring
itself based on the body
and that's what we call an or pneemi
so possibly that's what the rashaba is
adding here to this conversation
of guffanefish being totally different
and in his language opposite each other
at the very same time joni feels as
though it's very natural
so that's why he says why is that
because it's like our vacayly
where the the r wants to be recognized
in the caylee
in other words a teacher who's teaching
he wants that the students who are
learning from him
should com should at the end of the day
unders not just understand it but take
that information
and use it to understand more that shows
that they really got it
not to just understand what he said
because they you know it's
it's inspirational it's it's good
material it's good information it makes
sense
but they do nothing with it the real
actus is when the caylee becomes r
okay here's another fetch another
another emphasis
the real unity between the r and the
cayley is when the caylee becomes r
and and in a way when the orb becomes
scaling what time is it
let's continue and he says
and he says
the person's body was created
differently
creatures said the certain mimer the
certain saying
that's applicable to that um creature
miyagni for immediately this is
this shot and gracious in genesis
immediately
their goof that body that creature was
created
and a spirit went into them a soul gush
named
both together the soul in the body
they both came out on the face of the
earth
take for example the third day of
creation
they should grow grass
the earth gave forth sprout forth and
the grasses were sailing in the trees
individually with a vegetative soul in
it
so in other words as soon as hashem said
they came out with a living soul
the water had these creek these creep
these things that creep
of living of living life
creatures
what was the matter that we hashem
created all creatures
it is
[Music]
that they the the body with this with
their soul with their spirit
we came out together machine cane
without any soul of of of of of energy
in it it was domain it was inanimate
it was silent it was dead
says
god created man dust from the earth
right first this man was a golem was
was was a formless piece of
meat
what flesh it was okay fine
yeah yes i meant okay thank you yeah
[Music]
the point being that the the this mud
this this
this material came out of the earth
not living not with spirit commission
in comparison to the way hashem created
all other creatures
the so often this is what it means that
he came out
dust from the earth
without any vitality the heart is
and this is this was and is a great
shiftless a great uh
um embarrassment
for man um
they still were created in a way when it
came together
for other but we are as men and it's
killer he just repeats the point
the ultimate first it was
established that shop established that
there was a difference
now the question is why did he make this
difference
no it's a good question no abi why did
hashem
decide to make a difference between the
way he created man
and the way he created all other
creatures
this difference is a negative one
shall they call an iframe because all
creatures
and he may not offer although all
creatures come from the earth
avalyns that nevertheless
all creatures when they came out you
don't see their novella novella means
they're disgusting
you know if you're just a piece of clay
a piece you're lifeless it's
it's disgusting so hashem didn't make
that by all creatures because as soon as
they came out they were breathing
they were they were fully um an animal
they were a full tree
whereas we are them he knew i think it's
usually the way man was created
you see man was initially created by the
velocity
um in in this you know
form of uh of crudeness he calls it
disgust the israelite being formless
that although seemingly all other
creatures
have one up on man they are not honey
who is the choicest of all creatures who
is parent of royal
man
the most choices of hashem amongst all
the creations
and that's the rashaab's question
seemingly you would think
that all creatures were created
on earth in a nicer way they looked nice
and it felt nice and it smelled nicer
and it tasted nicer
why because they came out full man came
out with a golem if
yeah later on you blew a soul into him
but when he came out when it was created
it came out ugly meaning
it's like the beginning the and yet we
say hashem
specifically chooses goof of them
the ma the body of man as peer
honey the choice he is the best
and that's the rush shops question uh
we'll stop here
and meet hashem tomorrow we'll continue
okay have a good day everyone zaikaz
your first layman to your father
and only good service take care thank
you
