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
