learning now Tanya we're on Page llamic
in the middle of chapter 24.
in the outer ever
until this point explained
the difference between
the
clipper
negative forces and energy
who will do their job
by causing a Jew to sin
versus a Jew who sins himself
said that the Jew that sins is a lot
worse than the clipper
you know initially when you hear such a
statement it doesn't make any sense
it's like Clipper is the seat of evil
and you're saying that a Jew that sins
is worse than the Sea of evil
says yes
and he a very basic rational argument
and that is
a
that the fir if this is the first line
on Paige lamott where he quotes this
converter without giving the source
he says
idolatry calls late to God calls God
and the wakaya God of all gods that
means that avodazara idolatry recognizes
that there is a creator
the only the only thing is I'm also a
player God created the Sun the moon the
stars
and this particular Idol giving it
uh Independence in as far it's
influence
so as far as its Israel listen to this
point as far as its recognition in the
Matthias Hotel
in the existence of the almighty God the
Creator even avoided Zora knows
I did not create myself at least this
type of Africa that we're talking about
here
I say that parenthetically because
there's a posse in Tanakh which was
saying daftarah and brought it earlier
with Paris says foreign
the river is mine and I created it
so there that could be a deeper form of
a deserted but overall although the Zara
is
the recognition of the Creator and the
denial of what we call
ardus
means
after from is
one there's nothing besides him
we call that actus
means that you the Stars the moon the
sun and the about the Zara you have no
Independence at all even in your
influence in other words you cannot
decide today I want to shine
tomorrow I want to Reign no no no
that comes from God as well filtering
itself through you
but you have no say when it should rain
and when it should shine
about the Zara disagrees
idolatry says no
God the Creator gave me co-auth gave me
power to be able to decide when to Reign
and when to shine that the Gomorrah says
is idolatry and vodasara
says the altered
clipper
is a form of Avada why
is an idol an idolatry it's the
the the the the
fact that some think and someone
says I am an existence as well
my ego is important and my ego dominates
as well
that's the exact same concept as
Zara are very closely related to each
other
right but we just said a moment ago the
Kamara says
admits that there is a Creator only that
I'm also a player to decide when to give
God's energy and shining and reigning
and everything else to The World God
says I'm leaving it up to you oh that's
what idolatry is that's one of our
desires that's what the call idea of
clip is
you only turn please mute yourself
is
a form of clipper okay let me finish out
the middle of a thought here please so
so that's clipper
what about when the Jew commits a sin
when a Jew who would think of a Jew
committing a sin as a an idol says the
out to that but he's worse than an idol
she's worse than Idol why because when
you go against the will of God
you're denying God's existence
completely not just his this is the
point here in Tanya not just God's
but you're denying
not just God's but you're denied denying
God's existence the Mitzi Utah God
forbid
that's what you're doing when you commit
a sin
and that's a lot worse so now let's
continue on page Lament smack in the
middle of page after the colon
he brings you a gamara and he explains
it beautifully
therefore the sages say I'll posic on
the first in the Torah referring to the
Isha Sota is
when a woman will go astray
and seclude herself with another man
and and we and the husband accuses her
of
being inappropriate with another man
that's the section of Sota
says the Gamora
the word sister comes from the word stus
foolishness stupidity
doesn't bring the last part of the of
the statement of the the sages a a
person the only time a person commits a
sin is when there's
when the spirit of folly enters the mind
and makes the person cuckoo the sugar
and the rule and the doors too says
commit the sin
the gemara says avram that this is not
normal
could you imagine
the sins that we do were being not
normal why of Avi why because the normal
state of Aid is to do what Hashem wants
when we don't and we go against Hashem
we are sister we are going astray
and and the Gamora says that's because
of the ruachthus of the spirit of
stupidity that enters our being our mind
our heart commits us to sin
says
and now in explaining the Isha so even a
woman
who has relations
in seclusion with another man
which points to her being
um frivolous or uh
you know
literally means her she she
knows exactly yeah but literally means
her mind is uh you know she's shallow
and of course women get very upset that
men should too it's not the shot shallow
it means that she allows because of her
sensitivity it's easier to convince her
so she allows the ruachthus to convince
her and she goes and has this affair
uh I guess the gamara didn't know what's
happening today did it eh let's go on
Jose Michelle
if
she would have not had the spirit of
that would enter her consciousness
she would have dominated by Nature over
the taiva over the Indulgence
if not for the spirit of stupidity
within her
which conceals three different words
used for the same idea which hides and
conceals it's
the innate in inherent love
sure that's within this woman holy kiss
in her Cup in her Godly soul
to attach herself
with this in the with the faith of God
with his unity
and not to separate God forbid from
God's Unity
I feel a night Limitless
the Netflix says even if you kill me no
limit
which means you would kill her she's
ready to jump into the fire for God
they tell her you worship idols bow down
to the idol or you will kill you she
says kill me I'm not bowing down
and not just bowing down look at the
alternative says next line
even just merely to bow down in other
words there is any bowing down and
really meeting you Buddha Buddha pray
for me help me I know you're the best
you can help me you've convinced
yourself like a damn fool excuse the
expression that the Buddha can help you
but then there is
people many people most people who know
that's nonsense and silliness but
nevertheless
the guy says if you don't bow down I'm
gonna shoot you and kill you you bow
down but in your heart of hearts you
know it's ridiculous says down to them
if I feel a bit of olive
Cloud even the mere bowing down without
any faith in the heart believing that
this really can help you this Idol
the cold scale and needless to say
with the fourth line from the bottom
page Lament
the coast came and needless to say Yates
surely to conquer the evil inclination
and the Indulgence of
of
of inappropriate behavior of seclusion
and relate and intimacy with another man
yes
they are easier if you compare
compare that to other availables they're
easier prohibitions than the Misa Hashem
from Death God forbid so in other words
this woman
who the Torah says secluded herself she
would have never done it and she
wouldn't and even and he says another
thing a person would never bow even just
a mere bow to avoid the Zara and would
give away their life we learned this
early in chapters 18 and 19 of Tanya
but what happened if I have finished
look how does she make this distinction
Maisha how does she justify
secluding herself with another man
Etc having an affair and all that
versus another prohibition which she
won't do
says
the difference that she makes being
insaneal
does it make sense
the same woman
who went and secluded herself
possibly have an affair with another man
she wouldn't bow down to an idol and
even if she doesn't believe in the Isle
she wouldn't bow down to it even just a
mere bow and even if you're gonna kill
her does that make sense she's ready to
die for Hashem as long as she doesn't
bow to an idol but when it comes to
seclusion and a possible affair she
don't care
how do you justify the two what's going
on in her in her psyche says
that itself is stupidity
that argument and and Heather this is so
real this you know you learn the Tanya
you see how real it is on one hand we
can be the most holy and the most good
and at the very same time we can be the
most Disturbed
it's a kind of a schizophrenia make up
your mind who are you well we know the
truth is I'm not going to bow down to an
idol even if they kill me no
but to go and and do an Aveda
you're ready to do when you're doing the
availa you're doing the same thing
you're separating yourself from God
you're spiritually killing yourself
so therefore this difference that she
makes in her mind who campaigned
beneficial the kiss the the Clipper
grasp grabs her her mind her heart
making this ridiculous distinction
it captures an efficiently kissable
how much of the Clipper can get to the
person and this answers those book asked
yesterday only till the level of within
the woman the light at the clown next
page top of page 16 but not Beyond
we learned earlier a very very important
point that the light of God the energy
of God invests itself in and we call
that it Munna you see
how much of the Clipper
can get to a person
only till it can't touch that's why we
repeatedly say that the ammuna of a Jew
is pure not tainted not an iota
you know buyer someone who you know
studies philosophies and ideologies and
becomes you know uh a heretic we're not
talking about that even that
the river has an entire Treatise where
he reconciles the missionar which says
which enumerates the people that don't
have Olam Haba
to the fact that
everyone has a Muna it's a very famous
treatise
wrote in the 1940s
because at that time
to Frida karebra
said my mom I wrote my Ballroom or had
my mom published in which he touches
upon some basic fundamental issues in
giddishkite in in belief in the 13
principles
Resurrection
good and bad you know the basics you
know the the basics uh to get someone to
go over from being a non-believer to
being a believer
one of the issues is this issue
the mishna says if you do sin a b c and
d you don't have you don't have the
world to come
and that ever said it's not exactly that
and he explained it not only are Pikachu
[Applause]
medrish Kabula said this it's it's a
It's A Treatise today it's been printed
over and over and probably in English as
well what's the but it's all based on
Tanya what does the outdo say and he
alludes to it here in the first lie on
page 60 that the clip begets
but not
now but Maisha we don't need a sense of
wisdom we mean the sense of faith and
Munna
so the outdated says here that this
woman
who makes this ridiculous distinction
between not worshiping an idol but
secluding herself with another man
possibly for you know having an affair
and all that
is not touched
and you're probably wondering well how
could that be if you have faith in God
and you're from Jew how can you not how
can you do such a thing and the answer
is very simple like I told you yesterday
and Maisha and I kind of had a little
disagreement how we see it but that's
fine
and that is that we all do it we forget
we want to forget
we make believe it's not happening we
pretend we go into fantasy land and we
see no this is not happening when I
uh speak out talk in middleish Monastery
um
and if Allah says you're not allowed to
which we all do or I could talk for
myself I've done
that is equivalent to what it says here
because that's a transgression and
that's a transgression and to go and
make a distinction that this
transgression is a seclusion with
another man it's an affair but
this conclusion it's in the basement I
have Tylenol big deal
but Allah says you're not allowed to
talk so when you talk you're violating
God's will if you believe that God's
will is communicated to us through the
rabbis
says that as far as their faith of a
person the faith is intact
then Mundo was never lost and this as
you know is definitely the underlying
thought process in in chabad's Outreach
and at an inreach
it's it's not just oh we're going to
tolerate my son I saw yesterday
somewhere here in the community a son of
someone who's prominent walking a dog
without a yamaka I don't think that he's
religious okay he lives in the house so
one argument can be okay why is that I
have to put up with him because the
other way will be worse if I kick him
out of the house
you'll end up you know using drugs on
and on and on
that's not chabad's approach
to
being the kind of every Jew
bad's approach is that that Jew
is just as good as the jewel film
and you Jew with thrilling could even be
worse than him because he doesn't know
better
and you know better so who's better off
you or him so when you talk when you're
thrilling on during you're worse than
him
not keeping Shabbos
so in other words it's not a game here
I'm better than you you're better than
me
it's the attitude and understanding that
the amount of a Jew is pure
and more than below from the Moon and
Below that's when we have issues
that's we have to work out to doubt the
devil says here I wanted to go back to
the point aval next line
the only please put yourself
the truth is look at my look what he
says Malaysia
the one that desecrates a little tiny
Aveda it's the same qualitative
transgression over the will of God The
Who
doesn't miss any words he says it very
emphatically
The Who
and that person that does that this
little teeny Aveda is the apps isn't the
is is the app so it creates the absolute
separation
is better from God's Unity
more so
Clipper that the Clipper honey gods
I'm sorry
more than the Clipper and idolatry the
yes
and when a person does any Avera
including a very lightweight Avera the
person is worse than all
that every then everything that comes
from the Clipper honeys
non-kosher animals
and and birds voices
that are contamined that are spiritually
impure of
creepy things
and now he could quotes a gamutta or
Kamina the
as the saying
an act
the mother says why was Adam addition
created after all other creations on the
sixth day of creation
to Humble man to Humble him
you think you're a yaksha madame you
think you're a big shot you think you're
as we say hard
you're a big shot I'm the son of a rabbi
I'm the son of a reppi I'm the roscoilo
I'm the guy by base kodesh I am the
rabbi right
says the gamoria
hey little hey fellow
you're nothing
you know why because a little gnat
which was created before you was created
not on the sixth day Man was created on
Sixth Day of Creation you created an
earlier day
is has more priority than you do why and
the ultimate explains Peter look how he
says it over here
which is it takes in
vain Almighty doesn't give out what we
call in English a parasite
and the worst thing is if you have a
parasite
may God save us from parasites
taking taking
but not giving at all
right says the outer number
this is the the greatest type of clip
and it's distant
from Holiness holiness
gives to everyone shares
so why do you why should your children
what are you teaching your children and
grandchildren share you know why you
should share
because sharing represents what God does
he shares with us
the whole idea of giving and sharing is
what God wants in a person a person
who's just a taker and not a giver is a
parasite
and I yitosh
the nature of this little gnat it sucks
in the food and it gives nothing back
for the other flies around it
right says the good mother even this
itush that's so bad off that's a
parasite is better than you man
why
because it does its job God created
a net to be a parasite
someone that is a parasite then that's
doing his job but you man when you go
against God you're not doing what God
created you for so you're worse than
that
that's the shot in the Gomorrah
back into the Tanya and the other says
the ultimate of cadusha is to give and
give to everyone anything
when you don't give you're so distant
he says
you're so far from holiness
foreign
right Holiness gives to something that's
very distant always seeking to give
so that is called Dennis Lee is priority
over the man that sins bestest
as the influence of God descends from
his will
because
so the net
is as we said needless to say other
animals that are not Kosher if I feel as
high as lawyers even
bad animals you know the dangerous
animals that you know seek to tear apart
and and kill and all that
none of them change their tough kid
their purpose
is
God's purpose and why he created them
they keep
foreign
apart an animal
is what God wants of them to do because
that's their nature but the truth is
that's the way God created them the
point being here
that the altareb is saying
that you men are so much further
when you commit a sin than a little gnat
and that's a very very humbling thought
because you know we we we we think and
we we think someone is a parasite
terrible I don't want I don't want to be
I don't have anything to do with a
parasite right
guess what sometimes you have a friend
if someone you think he's your friend
and you realize that that person is a
parasite he's always taking and taking
and taking and he gives nothing
says that's true but what's even worse
is what you're doing
so you look at your friend and you say I
don't want to be his friend anymore this
is a parasite
you know this is only a a moocher I'm
watching a cigarette give me a cigarette
I don't have a cigarette give me a
moochie
a moocher like we have in Brooklyn they
used to smoke the cigarettes
one guy has a pack of cigarettes the
other guy says come out give me a
cigarette I need to smoke taking taking
taking what are you giving me for it
nothing I want a cigarette well what are
you going to give me tomorrow nothing
and it's not a game I I gave you a
cigarette you know which is a bad
example because we shouldn't be smoking
but but the idea is taking taking
doubt that ever says even such a low
life
is greater the YouTubers than that than
the person that commits a tiny little
sin
because then that does its job
the muscle of designer right the
prostitute with a prostitute tries to
entice this King's son
a king hires one prostitute in a second
each one to the tenth prostitute doesn't
know that it's coming from the king and
the purpose of which is what to see if
the King's son is loyal and faithful to
the king
that's the whole purpose of her it's
like a a tense prostitute trying to
entice you to do something
and it really means it's doing its job
the eight Sahara is doing its job
the eggs are in those very well what
it's doing and it wants to do it because
that's what it was hired to do that's
what Hashem created to do but you the
Jew
who who is
Faith connection to God
at the core when committing a sin you're
rebelling against all of God even if
it's just a little sin
and when you think about this thought
it should humble a person
let's continue just another vasadike
mystalgic
that the image of God never left never
left their face
what do we see kohai's rice all bad
vicious animals is
subjugated to them and you've heard
stories how
Sadiq him they had lions and other you
know animals
who would normally tear and kill and
they ran away like a little one second
myself finished but because
in the pit of the Lions and they all
faded away why because they saw that
salmonella came
you know what the message from this is
Yoni that when a Jew
lives with Hashem with Taylor and Mrs
you can go into the heart of the Lion
and people will respect you
so don't give me khasid spartic
a yeet who really conducts himself and
refines himself anywhere in any time
people will respect that there's a
there's there's an Ambiance there's an
Ambiance that's created that hovers over
this person who has refined themselves
that's greater than anything else all
the semantics and all the details fall
aside yes Maisha what do you want to say
he was uh
he was in that Caravan and and
the the
[Music]
based on Shabbos
they went on Shabbos and so he stayed
put He was all alone in the desert and
so forth and uh
this line came
and this massive line came and just sat
down next to him the whole Shabbos
protected him yes yes it's a long story
thank you cabinets so
um it's a very important month because
the rep explained many times this is the
only month when of the father himself
Our Father Comforts us
traditionally what does it mean we
Comfort the father
said no no
that's also true but there's another
concept where the the Comfort the
condolences
comes from of comes from our father and
when condolences and comfort come from a
father it's it's more powerful
is
make make use of it you know and
although we're in the middle of the
three weeks that but also based on
Dalton and other places the importance
of simcha now of course that doesn't
mean violation of halacha but the the
greatest type of comfort is when you
break the Clipper with simcha
so on one hand we're in a morning period
our base amigdas was breached the right
the world the walls of Islam were
breached and then comes if doesn't come
and God when he will come the Tish above
so it's a sad time a very sad time until
the
says one should avoid doing
court case with a non-jew during this
month
because the muzzle isn't great
and that's why people won't make
weddings from the first of of till after
Tish above or you know the 15th of the
month but nevertheless
as we get closer to the shiach and the
reality
you know I was listening to I think
avicent or isser Rabbi gold and I wrote
on the chat even if he disagreed with
his
um I don't know which word to use but
you know it sounds like this passionate
mayor Kahani uh stance which he took
but the the fact that he was a Jew of
fire he had a belief and he lived with
his belief and you see that he created
people who supported the belief and and
and went along with the belief even and
it wasn't you know not talking about
here at least I don't see it as a
violation of
you know and at 87 or 88 someone sent me
the clip where he's walking with a
walker in in the two-way area which I
think ISO said his Services you know and
they took a clip and what is he's
talking about how can it be that the
Jews in Muncie and the Jews in Philly
and the Jews in Brooklyn are there
with why aren't you here there to slow
you know
he's living he's lit he's living with
Paradigm he's living with a parent maybe
it's not my Paradigm your Paradigm the
rep is Paradigm other represents I'm not
going there
but the fact is there's a ye that's
living with with an ideal
and that's very important
to to live with an ideal okay you don't
want this to be the idea well show me
your ideal you have a better one that
show me what your ideal is
but as we say get this
not here and not there
it's all papkis you know bubkas is zero
let's talk talk is cheap
so
I think it's important I I never I never
knew this man I might have heard his
name but you know
just the last few days you guys have
sent some stuff and continue I'd like to
find out more when that whenever there's
a chance to meet or read about an
interesting person someone who's done
for Yiddish kite you know it's it's a
good thing you know it's it's a smart
thing
you know so um Falcon amazing
I think or maybe not already after shiv
I'm not sure but um you know and it's
important to to to teach our children
and grandchildren and friends in
basement
even if the person doesn't have your
shita
he could still be a good guy
and you could there's something to learn
from him
even if he has a different shita
yes
you wanted to say something
no you felt lost you're here are yours
yes
I was just a very famous uh
it was a video last week where this uh
you know
he was putting on phone on television
he's been doing it for a long time and
this woman comes over to him and you
know yeah yeah we're all aware of it it
went viral
no that's such a bad touch to what she
did but it's unbelievable because kobat
did so many things for people on freedom
obviously all over the world
[Music]
that are not religious but they went to
put on phone and they put on phone every
single day and they did it on cameras
and they did it on camera
and then afterwards afterwards the next
day hundreds of they brought hundreds of
different
yeah we have to thank that woman
so when someone comes over to you and
says
exactly when someone comes over to you
says you
yeah when someone says you're an
Antiquated Jew with your beard and your
bears and your Yama could say give me
more give me more give me more
that's what happened over here
if this habotnik would have said you
foolish woman get out of it you're
what's your business and on and on it
wouldn't have the same impact if you
listen to what the bucker said he says
thank you very much
thank you for cursing me
Imam Israel
with shimmy curses David and David says
thank you
exactly
no but you think of it yeah it's a 2000
years ago
2023 Tel Aviv the same thing happened
to have a great Shabbos love you all see
you all on Monday zydism good cheer bye
bye
good job
