good morning good day to everybody today
we'll finish chapter 25 and Tanya which
will be the end of the ideas that he
began discussing in chapters 18. and the
Mr Shem after
um our break we come back and straight
to shallow
um we'll begin chapter 26 through 34
this I what I call the psychological
part of Tanya and I hope you'll
encourage other people to join because
it's really a lot of psychology and
therapy and deals with simha and
depression and frustration and happiness
all those things are included in
chapters 26 through laziness
um chapters 26-34 but today we're on
page llamic base it happens to be the
heart I guess of Tanya on one hand even
though it's not chapter 32 but it is
page 32 and we are at the in the middle
of the page where it says about 10 lines
from the top after a DOT
just a question what are you taking a
break is it in August or today today is
the last year the break starts today
so it's about three and a half weeks
okay okay thank you
drama is talking about
a Unity that's created
each time a yeed prevents themselves
from doing a transgression
and each time a Jew seeks to cleave to
to be the record
Hashem
this is what we learned yesterday
let's continue inside the Mila from
God's perspective
it is Everlasting
this year he needs the justification for
a Jew putting on film one time
stop him and this engulf and you put on
film
and the beers come out and say what's
the big deal he's going into a bar he's
going to sin
tomorrow is not going to put on film and
the answer is the alternative says it
here this Unity that's created through
the one time of putting on film is
Everlasting that means
it's held in this Jew's account
for goodness for merit
explains his reasoning how is it that a
one-time Act is Everlasting he says is
because God from his perspective
transcends time
so we're looking at time Yesterday Today
Tomorrow yesterday didn't put on film
today I had put on tune with him
tomorrow he's not going to put on film
says down today but that's your husband
that's our husband because we are
governed by time God who transcends past
present and future it's all the same so
the whole idea of time is the creation
of God that means god is outside and
greater of time so therefore this
mitzvah
that this Jew does one time
is it is from God's perspective is there
every day
every day it's helping him
so too hashem's will which is expressed
through his word
which is where within the study of
Taylor who knits me is Everlasting so if
you get my ye to learn tight at one time
to come to this tiny class this year one
time
you have created and given them an
opportunity that Tanya now has become
I'll use these words abstain on his soul
in a positive way
it's not that he once learned Tanya he's
learning Italian today
I is not learning Tanya today in fact he
is not interested or doesn't have time
for him anymore the because hashem's
will
of Trader at hashem's will as expressed
through Torah and when you study Taylor
you identified with the Transcendent God
that transcends time if he transcends
time whatever he did is still active
today
this is a a great Kiddush and a very
important to think about this is very
very important and it explains the whole
idea of of doing the midst way even just
one time or even learning title just one
time so don't dismiss title learning
that you do one time and you don't know
tomorrow you might get a job you might
get busy you might have this you might
have that makes no difference right now
you're learning that's yours let's go
further
the word of Hashem
is sustained forever and the words
existence
Etc
and they do not get exchanged
his religion forever in other words the
religion of God vis-a-vis
is a truism for eternity
and no one ever and even when Michelle
will come there's no such thing as the
title we once learned is not credited to
us or it pales in comparison to
mashiach's title which it does but
nevertheless the Tater is Everlasting
and eternal
this is all Dr Pepper says from God's
perspective look what he says here now
hello Motto below meaning from our
perspective
we are governed by time
and only at the time
that he learns China on the midst of it
does Mitzvah is he connected
else
he's separated from the supernal bond
from the perspective of us below
but I know when does the ehut from our
perspective cease to be Kesha Isaac but
foreign when one is involved in idle
chatter the Gandhi completely Should
Abraham says that have no benefit at all
for the service of God
now you would think that these words is
Sir a very are a downer
it's negative
now Deb is not saying this to be
negative
Dr Deb is saying
that you have to know
the score
and the score is that when you do a
Mitzvah even just one time and you learn
Taylor just one time from God's
perspective which is the icar
it's permanent
it's happening
from our perspective from our
perspective
but what I did yesterday and I don't do
it any longer and especially if I get
involved in idle chatter and just
wasting time
I've I've cut I've cut a cord yes yes
sir
there will seem to be
logically that it's necessary to be that
way because because if it wasn't
we would just stop we'd do a Mitzi and
say ah now I have what I can rest on I I
did I did good yesterday so what do I
need to work today
good yes that that that is true that is
true
that is true but it doesn't
it doesn't negate the fact that the
one-time Mitzvah and the one time and
the one time uh Torah learning is yours
the Yahoo again the wording of the
altariba is Maisha
this Unity that's created through the
midst of the one time mid swim learning
is
eternal let's continue
nevertheless Hashem
the same person
who took the time and broke the unity by
in involving themselves with Idol
chatter
which that has no purpose
in for God at all nevertheless when this
person's closer he returns the show of
LifeWay decision returns to the service
of God
many ask for forgiveness
he asked forgiveness from God that he
had the ability to learn
and he didn't and when he asks Hashem
Hashem
if you desecrated a positive commandment
and you the truth
you're not budged from there you're not
moved from there until you receive
pardoning
what do we have from this even from our
perspective I'm from
when we seize the yehud and we start and
we involved an idol chatter instead of
the time and it makes us know that you
can do truth
has a rhetorical
remarks
it would seem to it would seem that this
is Moshe this is what I will say
you can break you can sever the
connection and tomorrow I asked Michaela
and God will granted to you that's what
we just learned if that's the case it
seems like the logic is let me see it
let me do tuba and we know that because
I'll say God doesn't accept that if you
were the time of the sin
say I'm going to sin because later I can
do truth of God says go somewhere you
ain't getting to it from me
if you you you you you you did not favor
and and you want and you didn't you
didn't have a mind when you did the
Avera you really wanted to do that you
you want to indulge
and later you wake up from your dream
and you say hey what did I do I really
regret what I did God says I accept that
right so now there asks on himself and
answers
my logic that I just said to you Dr
River says is not considered I will say
the
Usain unless
[Music]
unless at the very time of the sin you
rely on the trooper that you're going to
do after
and therefore you sin come on
so in other words yeah you need to
basically say if you do a sin and you
really mean to sin you have God is more
willing to accept the truth or later
if you do a sin and at the same time you
say I'm really doing the sin but I'm
going to do juva later let me enjoy now
because I can always get in canva God
says get out of here I don't want to
hear from you
but if you do a sin for the sake of sin
you don't think about God you don't
think about later I've indulging now
like I told you that you're this
expression
11 I want to live
a pinkish day now I want to be a pig now
I don't want to think about what's going
to be tomorrow I want to live it up now
enjoy the moment
if you think that way what
how is that like that's basically like
the situation when you have people that
come to school like right you see people
you've never seen before all of a sudden
dozens and tons of people show up by
Nila that they never come to show how
about them every year how about the JFK
people
you know what JFK is
oh ask the God by myself he'll tell you
I don't believe it you guys hey here I
am do you see the Yeshiva buffer and you
guys don't know what JFK is just for
kiddish
oh yeah
hey they just come for the key dish in
every shoe
you know 50 people 20 people 30 people
just for the kids Dominique what
Dominion come I do that but I don't
write the same thing
[Music]
[Laughter]
anyway no so the answer or no
seriousness is
that
this yeet that comes
he's not thinking throughout the year
I'm gonna wait for the ELA I'm sorry
find me such a tube shown to me most
Jews are not that way
they don't think about they just do they
live their life and they go about their
things they're not interested it comes
Nila on the contrary the Eli awakens in
them a feeling of true when they come to
school
when the khazan say active Russia we're
talking about an individual who knows
better who knows what juva is who
understands what truth is and he says
hey it's because I'll give me a way to
get in by doing chuva and I know about
it so meanwhile I can sin and do truva
that we say you're not it's not
acceptable let's continue
it goes on the overall theme of chapters
18 through 25.
with this idea
that Torah is very near every single
person this will explain uh a a
enigmatic statement that motion made in
this tutorial which we're learning now
um next page page 64 is
to the generation that went in territory
slow specifically to them what did
Marshall say I'm commanding you in the
name of God licorice
you have to reach my twice a day why the
capital of markets are meant to accept
upon yourself the Yoke of God
you see the Snapfish right
with all your might with self-sacrifice
that's the reason
now down to never asks a question
however
promises the Jews
the fear of the enemy when you go into
Israel will fall upon you and yet of
interfere
so if if someone must have to give them
specific instruction before they went in
Terrace's role when God already tells
them that the enemy will fear you
is this question
says the ultimately you're right
for the fear for the enemies to fear the
Jews when they went into Eric's Road you
wouldn't need to say twice my she
wouldn't have to disrupt to say twice a
day and let me show them
Maisha was telling him that the general
idea the Fulfillment of the study of
Titan amidstv is totally bizarre it
depends
upon this concept she is
that you should constantly remember not
just once a day but every moment
that I'm ready to give my efforts for
God just like the the cowship of column
was ready to give his life and that's
about an idol
for God's Oneness
believe it should be a set in his heart
come with Mommy look at how throughout
his language
constantly actually always
night day and night
I mean the words he keeps on adding the
adjectives
Israel adjectives
number four at the fourth and it
shouldn't never be removed from your
memory
because that will give you the ability
to overcome the Yates
said earlier what the algorithm is
saying is like this the reason why
instructed the Jews when they went in
territory to say Krishna twice a day it
wasn't so that the goyam should fear the
enemy should fear the Jews and the Jews
should have a safe haven there to throne
it was so that when a Jew puts on fill
in he should do it with the with the
attitude that is
he's giving away in other words that his
thrilling is not just an act and an
important act and listen to the titles
of grunt film but he should feel the
attitude of
Oneness with God and here you see
clearly and that comes to Krishna
here you see clearly that the
aotearama's entire
uh 18 through 25 seven chapters his
entire thread
and see of of revealing the hidden love
is to create
this Unity of unity with God and if
you're missing Unity which means you're
ready to give your life if need be or
even if you know in a situation where
you're not you know that God is the
priority and what God wants the priority
therefore that's your focal point and
you don't lose track
if you don't have that then your tail
mitzvous is bereft of Messina's nafish
attitude and then it's a selfish
tolerance
and this and this is the naked
of this these seven chapters as we talk
to the banani and we say you been in
thee you have the potential of such
Heights and reaching such such a
refinement of character and such a
connection but it's predicated on one
concept
and if you forget for a moment
and you and it's about your own trip
your own ego your own you know my own
thing then it's not it's not holy you
you're not the being a need that Tanya
wants you to be unless you're not your
best you're you're basically living with
a with with without with the falseness
and this unfortunately this has happened
and sometimes you look around and you
say how did this person was so grateful
how did he fool it was missing this
this was never his modus operandi never
his motorcycle was one thing you know
what that is yes sir self
and and self doesn't have any color and
self doesn't have any
um features
you know the ego the yes is is is so
smart that it comes in every shape and
form
the Frida calebra writes in the name of
the second the Bible don't bear
it says what do you think asaph was Ace
of had a helmet and a sword
he said ASA was dressed with a strim
Olympus and he was asaph
how do you like that Lord
asaph the hunter the Killer
the mom's works right
Jew
and he was still amazing because he's
missing the the code of yehud which
means totally selfless
you know I remember standing by the
Rebels for bringings and we had places
you know
I remember I sometimes saw people who
were sold they wouldn't give an inch and
a drop and not let someone else stand in
their place and I would I was a Booker
young I was saying where where is where
is hashidis
it's yes it's your place it's not your
place
yes you you made an effort to come early
and and establish yourself there so that
you can hear better and see better the
fabranging but if another youth wants to
hear and see give him your place and let
him stand next to you squash yourself go
under the bench and put them on top
you know you know what I'm saying is it
it come like in the name of hasidis in
the name of uh of Taylor we justify ego
it's wrong and the out there every year
if you stay you stay to the text and
yesterday as I said it was yard site and
the thing that we learned from him was
this nakuti was totally I'm telling
egoists he didn't know what ego is I'm
telling you he did not know what ego is
you know I I saw this so many times and
and yes he wasn't born into parents who
have refined people he grew up in in Tel
Aviv with others in the in the 30s and
40s and there was you know could you
imagine him thinking about it the
Yeshiva was I was called cook I was
there I videoed it it's right but the
Arcana blocked from the beach
right
which Yeshiva would have make a use
which would make a Yeshiva block from
the Tel Aviv Beach okay so it wasn't the
television Beach of 2023. it was a Tel
Aviv Beach of 1935 38.
but the beach is the beach
and the Yeshiva was a block away so I
spoke to Abigail's cousin maybe well
he's still he's alive he lives in New
Haven so he said to me we weren't
allowed to go to the beach have we
listened
it doesn't mean that we couldn't see the
water and we couldn't make a friend you
know have to smell the fresh water and
you know they weren't locked up was no
one no one locked them up you know
there's no locks over here
but but the nakuta was could you imagine
you have the Yeshiva that's a block and
a half from the beach
and look what came out from all of these
people such a fine Yeadon such fine
families
because
if you live with this
you can live next to the beach because
you are not impacted by all the stuffs
hey you washed your eyes you don't look
there and B if you happen to see it's
like you're seeing
nothing
nothing now that's easy to say it's it's
not nothing that's why we have to guard
our eyes and and not look at things
we're not supposed to no question about
it but I'm just saying it's it's the the
attitude yes my
yeah can you just repeat I'm sorry I
missed it which Yeshiva was this this
was
called that the previous rabbit started
through his hasidim in 1938 and that
time was called hayam
right later was it's today called haraf
cook number 16 and my daughter has the
international gun in that building in
that same one-story fat yeah I told you
about that that's what that's where the
Boyle and his friends learned as little
eight nine ten-year-old boys
I was there
you know I'm just saying is today the
fact that Yeshiva shouldn't be there is
because we've Fallen not because we're
greater
it's because we have bigger tivers and
we don't control ourselves yes don't
make don't make a Yeshiva next to a
block away from the beach
and it's 2023 it's not 1938.
but I'm saying the attitude is that when
you when you when you so when you learn
with kids I'm not saying they were
learning Tanya at eight nine years old
but they've had the parents and with
their shops has see them Who Came From
Russia from the underground and they it
was a culture created
with these people and I'm not saying
just these people there's the Yeshua the
Russian over there the spider control
I'm not I'm just saying that whoever
identifies with without that ever says
here that not only is uh do you do you
need to will the enemy fear you because
you're Jews but you in every Minster
that you do what's felt is the Mercedes
nerfish the self-sacrifice the unity
then wherever you are you're going to be
strong you're going to be the same
you're not changed by this by the
culture
the culture can't change you because you
know the culture is just saying this is
superficial and you're about something
else you're a godly man you have a
Sharma you have enough for sure the kids
you have a Godly soul
so the whole equation I've run the whole
equation of you know doesn't apply to
you I'm a Jew
you know kind of gifty you know not that
everyone else is great and wonderful but
they don't happen to shamba they have a
soul on their fish on the charmelly kiss
and when you think about that you say no
no so what I'm gonna I'm gonna have like
a like an animal
okay I gotta go have a great three and a
half weeks we'll talk to everyone
Michelle should come you shouldn't have
to fast we should have the base I make
the zygous
