page 265 the kitscher the kids here is a little kabbalistic we're going to read it quickly i'm going to read it actually in english today um 264 and the english of 265 in the hebrew the sweda of malchus emanates as a root and a single point i mentioned that yesterday is the construction of maokus we incarnate god as a king as we said that is it receives from the higher nine spherus the root of the flow is from kessler malchus and rosh hashanah it's still concealed so what we do on rosh hashanah is we build kingship we build god as a king as a melech but we do so in a manner in which it's rosh hashanah it's concealed the moon is barely seen on rosh hashanah it's the first of the month right only last night tonight we make kids levana because it's seven eight days into the into the month and we see the moon and you see enough of the moon to make a bracha but on the first it's concealed it's bakase nevertheless through our treeless and trey for blowing us the alternative says in the ghettos okay there's 14 we build mouths when we build malcols we coronate hashem as king and what does that mean we want him as our king and he wants us as our subjects as his subjects okay continue on your keeper this is revealed i'm sorry onion kipper revealed and sukkas it is makif hashmini azaris it's integrated and then elicited through the mouse of every day so basically the parnosa is determined on reish hashanah that's the nerve center of the year vis-a-vis the king who is the the the head of the nation and its application in a way that it comes into our bank account and our table with the food on the table is every day that's how he reconciles the contradictions between the two gomorrahs and he might say more about it later let's continue now on page 267 [Music] which comes from an energy of the kindness within the inner aspect of attic called attic and being given to malcolm [Music] it's still a general energy villain is called a protein cloud and it has it's not divided yet into details the efficiency is gobbled in the problem and because it's not detailed oriented the recipients called the mccobblin cannot receive it it's too overwhelming for them in a general way you got to break it down what causes the energy to begin being receivable it's the five gevorace of attic so what do we have here moisture we have the attic we said that earlier and now we're talking about gevorah the attic devours are the severities the disciplinary the five disciplinary uh method points of artic shaheen this is interesting avi listen what do they do kevorah takes the hasset energy and compartmentalizes it discipline is not a stop order method discipline is a give order method but giving it in a measured way in the right way that each recipient can handle it so one child gets from the parents this and the other one gets something else why they're both your children they're all your offspring they're all your employees etc they're all your students but each one has a different way of behaving and thinking and feeling etc so you can't just give one lump sum to everyone the same it doesn't work but if you compartmentalize it and you break it down it makes more sense that's what he says here so and and and who does that the gevorah aspect of hashem not the hasset yak of the husbands is give hashpaw everyone gets no discerning you're all the best versus wait a minute you really wanted to make a difference in a person's life let's detail it let's fine-tune it that's kivora uh in this in this discussion that's the aspect of gevorah andhra continuing inside him says that this is the way only the primary mode of hazard will be sustained and fulfilled so they say in other words why why are you disciplining me just give me leave me alone let me decide says because you'll have nothing at the end from discuss it it will be a a temporary fleeing moment and the next day or the next week gone goodbye you have nothing from it you want it to be meaningful and impactful and everlasting then gavuta needs to compartmentalize it and take it apart and give what's good for you and leave what's not for you at this point regarding the matter of an abundance very strong reigns that come that descend very powerfully what do we see drops are divided as the rain comes down it's it's rain it's reset it's coming into the world but nevertheless the way it's received here is deep in here and deep in there this is the ultimate purpose of kindness of it [Music] it says specifically through the manner of gevorah on the reign will the land be satiated and give forth sprout forth vegetation so just as this is true regarding rain and produce so too regarding the nephesh um so also regarding the development of our talents in our cliques listen to this fascinating insight of the shop the coil the voice that comes from the heart's breath who curl push it it's one simple voice khalik when it comes out it's divided with oisi is behaves mature into five different gutturals of the mouth aha this comes from the palate behind etc through the five severities of men please let's look at note 332 and read this together so it'll be clearer no 332 on 266. the letters are rooted in the five terminal letters monsa since they represent the five severities that is the five restraining forces that divide and separate the breath and voice in the five organs of speech thus enabling the 72 letters to be formed when any of these five letters terminate a word they are shaped slightly differently these are known as final letters example when the letter huff appears at the end of the word it is written with a final huff no other letters may follow them since this is an act of limitation it is an expression of gevorah it stops it final huff yoni means stop here you'll never find a letter after a final huff because yaakov gevura is the mansa pach what includes the huff the final half is an act of gevorah limitation you can't go further there's no letter afterwards so what we're learning here is that you have the coil posture you have the voice inside yes from the coil portrait you would think that the coil posture the simple sound within yourself has the ability to express itself totally freely unlimited wrong because the gevora limits it for the betterment of speech clarity of speech we know when people start rambling down we look at them strangely and there are and they are not coherent words need breaks divisions limitations that's gevorah let's continue inside [Music] yes yes very good excellent yes it is but this is in the in the aspect of deeper in the nephesh but it's it's it's a yes gevora is a simpson act correct very good and maybe i'm sorry i lost it page 267 the last paragraph the middle of the paragraph okay the third the fourth line in the middle okay are as it says in the introduction to the zoya the indian kai's yeshua assessor lift my cup of salvation i will i will pick up my cup of salvation which you know all know that when you make abdullah and we say this posit you're supposed to lift your cup if you haven't done so until now please start this matcha shabbos koi you choice s so you don't have to lift it to the heart to up over your head so it'll spill over your head let's not get carried away just lift it a little bit and then put it back down after you say the words put it back down to the position it was in when you when you uh began if you want to see how to do it look at a video of the rebbe when he makes abdullah and you'll see it slightly we didn't you know make shows of our uh religiosity so you've got to pay a lot of attention but you'll see a slight upward move of the rebbe's hand when he says question i believe i think anyway that's the way i do it let's go further must be on the five fingers hello right so people do it like this in khabad we do it like this we put the cup on the palm surrounded by the five fingers if you want to know particularly how to do that look into the rep is ha goda for kiddush in the footnotes and you'll see explanation about that and maybe today the english commentaries explain it better maybe even with a diagram i'm showing you like this right it's not enough but the tr the tradition of khabad is to have a non-regulator that is correct what's the reason i i i i think the reason is because you want the bottom to be completely flat like i don't want to say it you know the regulars are ready in addition to the to the other part maybe that but what we're talking about now is whether it's it's with a regal or without a regular it should be in the palm of the hand surrounded by the five fingers let's continue it says the five fingers surrounding the case represent the five powers of severity of gevorah the heimdafka nikki yeshua's amazing and we say curse yeshua a cup of salvation well wait a minute we're talking about gevorah limitation and discipline so question why do we call them yeshua's and as we say these five fingers represent yeshua's salvation the ayurvedic see over there the commentary ramosha zuccato i don't i don't know what kind of color tie he wore hillary and if he wore a black cat or a green hat but he was a great makubu and he lived um i don't know five five to seven hundred years ago something like that here he says in the present is that the same as kuto well i i think it is i i see interesting here i've never here he writes in the br rabbi moshe zakus this is interesting so i don't know if there are sharp wrote that or the one who who put the safer together um i'll have to believe that they'll have to look at this is interesting because i thought his last name was zukato like you did but anyway it see it seems like it's the same man the question is whether he whether you call them zakus or zukato but anyway and if you find out anything if you see anything let me know please so let's go back so you have the five fingers representing the five powers of gevorah which are really salvation is yeshua's and where does this come from where does its energy come from let me explain this the real power is in the gevorah the real power is not manifested anyone can give discipline that's strength to be successful and discipline then you're very strong then you're really taking the arctic the inner aspect of god giving is not yet a a simple a demonstration of real connection it's a connection but it's not real connection not not the deepest connection the deepest connection is when you couldn't have gevorah and the gevorah itself is yeshua's and that's why we have the five fingers around the cup when we say croissant shoes and we have clay so [Music] fascinating insight that bracha comes from gevorah yes hillary so would you would you say that um gevorah is like the completion of something like the monster five letters that complete a word so would you say that in order for bracha to rest upon something it has to be completed it has to be yes but it has to be completed in in a disciplinary way someone will say i i i'm completing it through a lot of present through showering you with kindness or in in today's psychological terms with all love you say no tough love is the ultimate of love next page 269 but but of course this has to be you know you know i remember speaking someone a shoe he was had this such a harsh you know attitude and i said relax chill out don't be so hard on yourself and all your kids you know people have convinced themselves because of what they they learned in their youth and they think they're and they can be 50 60 years old and and they're all they're in the wrong they're on the wrong page and the result is in their in their kids and family and it's a mess you have to know how to discipline and that itself is that that is a a a hush that's you know it was a talent to know how to discipline and sh and how the discipline is the ultimate benefit for the for the recipient because it's very easy to say i'll discipline you you'll get nothing or you'll get little or you'll you'll be punished or and you know uh you know as they used to say here around here is deep that saying in the community get out of the house you don't want to keep travis you want to smoke you don't want to wear yarmulke out of the house goodbye go go to the street go to your cousin you're not going to do this here ah that that's discipline that's that's not what we're talking about here yes hilo i had a mentor once a therapy mentor who said when you do when you're coupling counseling couples how do you know when you're done and and he said when he says to her this coffee is terrible and they both know he's talking about the coffee so similarly i i one of the things i i emphasize is that the only way you can really uh discipline children uh you know uh severely is when they really know that you're doing it for their best interest at some at some level right and if they if they don't know that i think that you know you have to really question whether you have the the rescues or the wisdom uh to do that and right and how the children and and recipients and others know that if they if you already established a relationship with them yeah i i remind you of the story of my my congregant who was a doctor in a prominent hospital and he was a brooklyn boy and his colleagues were brooklyn doctors and you know they went to the same high school erasmus out here we have erasmus high school where barbara streisand went and all these uh knockers you know and they all grew up in the 50s right and they're out now in california in the 70s it's the heyday of california and they're not religious okay not that they were religious them but they were more conservatives you know what i'm saying maybe even barbara streisand's father belonged to an orthodox shoe in flatbush she grew up in that shoe i mean i don't know how much time she went to the show but her father was a member of an orthodox shoe and um and they come out to california and then this doctor this congress of mine becomes about the schuver and a real baltishuva and they're in the cafeteria and he has his faces his coke with his with his homemade lunch or whatever and next thing are all his buddies and they're eating not just trey but shrimp and all the all the nars kite so he wants to bless them he says i know you're not religious i understand but shrimp you're from brooklyn you know that we don't need shrimp you know he comes to the rabbit he says to me do you give me permission to give it to them and i say no and then i say it and he says why not rabbi i said because i have a question i'll answer i'll answer your question with a question when is the last time you played golf with them when is the last time you went out to bowl with them or went for a walk and he says never all i mean him is i we rub shoulders passing patients in you know in in in the in in the hallways in the corridor in the hospital so i said then you're not really their friend it's all just external superficial and when we talk about it obligation to rebuke because he cited that obligation when you see it you doing something wrong you should rebuke them you have an obligation everybody answers the question in chapter 32 it says someone who is with you and torah mistress you and him have no connection to torah mitch's because you never disgusted because you're always angry at him at them for eating shrimp so you smile it's all external superficial and then you walk away you say what jerks there's they've gone so far right i said instead of saying we're friends let's go out let's let's let's let's mesh and then slowly let's talk about god religion what does it mean to be a jew in california coming from new york you know why do i say that because you talk about discipline you know discipline requires a a a a background a history then you're in the realm of discipline and then it's not disciplined then it's too good friends talking about something important than life and and you can you can you can develop you can grow you know and it's the same with spouses and the same with children the same with employer employees it's all about the relationship and the altar in chapter 20 32 tanya at the end i mean in the middle when he mentions what i mentioned before about the rebuke issue that's his message develop a relationship and of course when you develop a relationship part of that is where am i at spiritually ayeka what's going on you know let's continue inside top of 269. is and that's why the five fingers i'm sorry the five gevora is the five power five elements of discipline are represented by the five fingers [Music] the power of the fingers pre fingers is all included in one power okay hates boys and when the power of the fingers are then they come out and divide into five fingers ms khalid now is divided limited to the thing to each finger the pinky has one amount of kayak and the index finger has another amount of kayak vasel one is called azeres right you know that was used in the talmud for taking the commit the the the zerus zerus was used for a measurement and then there was another finger that meets i think the pinky was used to gather the flower and with regarding the carbon minerals it used to be more it brings the gamora the whole heart of the head of each finger had its job and this division excuse me of the five kaijus is gurus he repeats the point these five powers of discipline are the ultimate truth of hesed activity if you're missing class or show them some fingers or the layla if you wouldn't be able to write properly so coppola sailor nazis all these activities are are possible are you dehoit's boys through all the fingers the nimsa therefore although the overall power of the hand is in the hand as one entity nevertheless if not for the five as represented in the division of the five fingers you wouldn't be able to have the activity that's in the hand you can have avi the greatest activity in the hand in the koak yes hillary it's cute how he says in low are your day right and boy yeah yeah the idiom in hebrew are your day marshall really this is the truth of all your day right right exactly the mk in well said vm kane if so they hey say hello [Music] these fights [Music] a lot of rain how do we benefit from the rain when the rain comes keep on keeping this in your shoes that's why we call these salvations yeshua's essa i will lift up a cup of salvation so all of a sudden we're calling the giveuros the division the salvation and it repeats that is why the question needs levels we talk about it in the level of attic the five powers of severity are together with the five powers of the hubble the whole smaller baha'i tatika because in attic in the inner aspect of kasir there is no left there is no negativity i'm sorry the sweetening the transformation of all negativity here below is associated with the five powers of gevorah of attic that's a that's a concept in kabbalah and also has a practical application how do you accomplish that from divisiveness from division of five you make a trans a transformation experience where you have now not five divisive powers but you have five uh holy powers and good powers that's through coming from a place where to be to begin with there's no negativity which we we call this arctic and to quote again the zohar less smaller there is no small there's no leftists you know why they're leftists in israel because we're not experiencing arctic if we would experience arctic there would be no leftists anymore so this is the new slogan that we have to a coin and maybe it came out out of our color and maybe it'll be one of their best seller less smaller be higher yes that actually seems to be something an evolution of what's happening politically in israel because uh because the government falling and the real question about the next government is which version of the of the coalition on the right will uh okay let's continue [Music] is not sweet unless you take you go back to its roots discipline is not bad because your father loves you but he's disciplining me but he'll really the father loves you that's the show rish the din the discipline is only an outer manifestation judgment is not sweetened ella basharshan only from the perspective of the root the core and if you look at that you know my father loves me what's the question but he told me don't do this and do this and and it's the same old thing what do you you have issues with your parents he gave birth to you he did his best he went through a holocaust god forbid or a war or trauma or poverty give him some slack you're growing up as a a very well fat a very well fed etc okay that was slip in the tongue i'm sorry so so so so like what are you arrogant you you blame your parents blend yourself it's gevorah go back to the shoresh go back to the source and this isn't easy but it's true when you take the time to go back to the church and by the way it doesn't mean to say that you're you're not allowed to be different than your parents you are if you are you are and what i'll say that the children are better than the the parents but the the types that's brought in that this is saying this the son is better me me is a conjunction an m men not then the father but because of the father because he comes from the father so he takes the essence of the father which is pure and good so the father comes out also with certain limitations but if you go to the ko miko ahav the inner aspect of the father that's the best and you're displaying it because now you were zaika to understand this and to live it so at the end of the day wait a minute at the end of the day why are you better than your father and why are you thinking oh my father is bad this way that way and i'm great it's me you got the essence of the father so what are you bragging and why are you angry at your father if at the end of the day he gave it to you but how did he give it to me i came to it through university through yeshiva through this through that full you come from that father that means that you're connected in in in essence to that father so you took the the the purity of the father be thankful to him that he gave you an opportunity let's continue nevertheless they're called five powers of severity of discipline shall begin value other nemesis because through them there comes the completion of the five elements of it [Music] top of next page 271 should be received well by the creatures and through the gurus every individual creature and creation gets from the hashball goes [Music] he goes back to what we learned yesterday the five aspects of of gevorah that is drawn into the world at the time of the [Music] and at the same time it's at nila you know why neela nila nila's lockdown time very funny lock down time right here for the second the second is the downtime of the light of the energy and it's positive what do you mean lockdown you get this amount and that's good for you and your friend standing next to you and with his tallest and then daviding and crying gets a different amount he has a different sega so that's why we call the question was earlier why the wholesale why is the chosen the conclusion niela accomplished the hey gavuros the rabbit says because at the end everything is in the end now let's see it's the bottom line now is we're going to test how much kevorah is given to me and to you and that's at the time of the ila so the the shaffer is and the lock down the segger makes it possible not too much to be given because then there'll be only an overflow burn out burn out and a third time burn out i it's too much for me it's too heavy leave me alone stop pressuring me that's when you have too much shepherd comes along neila and gavura says lockdown said there i'm you're gonna get this amount and that's good for you for you and the guy next to you it's a different amount that's the way the whole the conclusion the niela accomplishes a good result let's continue this also means there shouldn't be an overflow you know where y'all need to they sign him to these super extraneous forces that each you up and take you and slap you into bad places by everyone having five is now drawn into the world and given to the person in a limited way [Music] the clippers will not have their nourishment the daffodils when do they nourish when the energy is limitless is infinite then they it the energy extends itself all over the issue and it could be that it goes to a place where it's not beneficial and good but when it's locked down and it's limited it goes to you and it's the amount for you and it doesn't overflow in a place that's not good this was a fascinating uh chapter i feel i hope you do explain to us the importance and what really takes place when we when we when we have this this kaiser show us esther and then i think to what they were going to make half dollars hashem this month of shabbos and you're going to lift your cup coast yeshua's essa and you think for a moment that it's like it's a hard time to think because everyone is waiting shabbos to be over take a few seconds coast yeshua's essa that the yeshua's come through the discipline the gurus it's a very powerful thought anyway rabbi it's uh of shabbos it's out of nitto we transform the the negativity of the night uh those that have the meaning not to learn khabad is one of them it's today other if i see them celebrated january 6th we celebrate will they set up chess boards yeah and and the rebel tonight rabbi levy over shalom who would travel to russia in the 70s and 80s he would come to the rabbitson's house and he would show uh film from the facility they would talk to the rebber and then he showed it to the rabbit too when he came home um so and in yeshiva we we had we stopped learning at shikia and then we died we waited we dived in the myriad and many of us went to sleep like 5 5 30 and we got up and we learned the rest of the night if i bring whatever yeah i mean i'm not you know in other words you know those that but but many you know took the opportunity and it was like once a year like you know you got you got to sleep at 5 30 or 6 whatever till 12 and then you were able to uh spend the next to the right learning yes moshe yeah just it's a little little trickier this year because of the song yeah well it's home starts in the morning so yeah but stop all night learning i'm not i'm not suggesting that i'm just saying whatever question i actually have a question about hanahaga with um sarah batavis and aaron chavez yeah do you do you watch and go to the as regular yes yes there's no there's no restrict there yeah there's no restriction here little of the five things that's only tish above and yom kippur right yeah okay but people i think they dive in earlier i think binh has governed earlier right because you have to read you have to do it you know but um but it's a very powerful thing because assad it says i'll say that since it says the words in the position about this day of sara batevis if it were able to be the calendar is not such if it would have come out on shabbos we would have also fasted our shabbos because it says that just as then you've been appointed the calendar was set up by hillary and hillary instead of the calendar that it never comes out of shabbos but it is interesting this year um the heir of shabbos was hanukkah purims are shabbos now sarba tavis are shabbos so this is uh interesting gear as far as the era of shabbos of days yes moshe riverdale where is that i have to i have to look it up on the computer but uh type i'll i'll i'll do a type and i'll find it i mean it's i don't remember exactly now where haven't i have a good air shabbos yoni if you just told me now that it's little enough i didn't even know i thought it wasn't ready i didn't realize it tomorrow's december 25th but but if again hold of little you know uh yaakov was on before he says that the in the the literature world he says they they they learn but the qasidim do hold the question is whether it's tonight or january 6 you know depending on if you're in poland and galicia and all that or in russia but they do hold of it so it applies territorial too yes hillel no i was going to make that point about that that the uh the christian greek orthodox or whatever they have a different calendar and right and so the night is different yeah yeah but but but again whether it's this night or that night has see them do what about does anyone know what about svardon do they hold up little or not i don't know my impression is you know it's interesting that you only brought that up because it's my impression over the years is living here that that i i i i would be surprised if they did um well do me a favor you're in sure you know yeah ask someone that's knowledgeable this of us as far as you know the safari and asking would be you know i'm sure i could find online but it would be interesting if you ask someone who's a living a living smartie you know i love that town with hawkham over there in your neighborhood who knows tanakh on the back of his fingers i used to listen to his shoe and you know what i'm talking about he uh leafy i mean he he he's a regular working man and he's a bucky in tanakh and then it comes into the carabao shore with the sun sometimes friday night what's his last name no no no no not him that's not his last name i'll have to remind myself short guy he knows tanakh and it's just amazing to listen to him speak on tanaka it's like what's his name what's his last name yeah i'm working on it yeah god is it no no that's a good guess yeah no i don't have to i became friendly with him and and he dialogued with me and we became you know we had a respectful relationship he he would dive in at the to have a pharah school then the show to the left you know is the spartak shul so he would come in there but i think shabbos would dive into the maracas rule but friday nights i saw him sometimes at the karlbox rule and i asked him he says he wants his son to see what you know he wants his son to see the way the young people are participating you know he it was it was interesting you know because he's such a different tradition and he and he he left his shoe for the benefit of his son psychosome
