Elul Farbrengen through lenses of Maamar Ze 1929 #2- Is RH real? Will work in Elul make difference

good morning I want to dedicate this learning to a friend of mine's brother his name is Perez of Rome and Levy Creighton his brother Dr Creighton is a good friend of mine he endorsed my upcoming book on the Tanya on Mental Health is a Harvard psychiatrist and from Aid yeshivabahar so this is his brother illusion must say I'm dedicating the learning today in his memory so yesterday we started learning the my Messiah um good morning Elio and uh shared with us the importance of creation of man on the sixth day which is the purpose and objective of Bria of create of the creation of the world and its impact on all of the world and as Shalom just pointed out that the the idea does flow in the text of the verse quoted that because the world that Hashem created is bishvily Israel for a Jew for Eden therefore everything else becomes complete through Prius Adam for those that are interested in a little more just for a moments as I heard them explained by from my spirit of Khan he taught us that we know there is the concept of Alaska's lawyers it's based on Tanya chapter 36. what why did God create the world to make a home to make an abode Adida for Hashem and the rabbit in talking about this says not only is the data to be made in the lower worlds in this physical world but also ayude through the lowest of the world so what we understand and and Reba explained this many times that abuel in his articulate way opened us to understand the following say for example for example we're learning I'm teaching you right now yep is that now one hand you could say it's why because it's it's a Wednesday morning the sun is out and we could be you know surfing the internet playing golf or going to work instead we're sitting here and learning so Adidas being made we're making a home for God Mark by coming now and not being on your phone and doing business and the phone waits till 11 o'clock you're making a home for Hashem that's true but that's not enough when we say that to make a home for Hashem it needs to be through us not only in US so me teaching you kind of superimposing what I know on you is one concept one reality the other reality is that you yourselves take the information and transform yourselves in such a way that you then make a home for Hashem after 11 o'clock yes yes right but before you share it you need to learn it be inspired to the point where it becomes Who You Are and this this spends a lot of time on this idea and if you think just for a moment we spoke yesterday about the difference between Sidis Yeshua and musaeus right this is another difference and I'll be pointing out these things just to put you know bring it all together not we just learn something in a minor and close the safer and we we have an idea but you need to find this in your life so what am I getting at teaches us a method to inculcate this idea of making him not outside of yourself but within yourself and it's tough work it's not easy to change inside it's the hardest thing who wants to change I've been raised a certain way both emotionally intellectually you know the previous hours the author of this mimer he wrote based on the instructions of his father a manual called Chloe the principles of education and guidance it's a phenomenal phenomenal work with God willing one day maybe we could study it together I I have online uh many 31 students I think on that but there that episode is a fascinating thing many fascinating things but one thing that always I always enjoy thinking about is he says when you assess a student you need to take into consideration the family they were raised in the community they came from wasn't a wealthy community was it a middle class Community or a poor community and he says that makes a difference on the talmud on the student on the child although it's not how much they know right that's their intellect it's not their feelings their emotions it's kind of a cultural thing and I really see this and I really believe this and write about this the cultural situation of a person makes an impact on the person and if you really want to identify and relate to a person you need to understand their culture they came from here in uh in Florida right here there was a schlier some of you knew him uh Rabbi David Brynn you remember him hello David Brynn you know him a little bit but he was a classmate of mine Yeshiva and David was a schlier in what's called California Club there's somewhere around here I wrote a book about him it's a whole story but he's a tighter yet and I always say if you can't get to the left at the oil the next best place here in Miami is to go to his caver I'm telling you did ever it said that the Reba wrote get sent a check to his mother for him and on it wrote tatsadiq I didn't see it so I cannot I cannot you know verify it but I could tell you that it was a special cover man a special Jew so I was commissioned to write a book about his life so I I went around I interviewed 50 people mostly here and then in in Miami and um one of the people said to me that David enjoyed no learn knowing people's languages so if you came from Greece he he asked you give me tell me some words in Greek you know Etc so I asked them why why did he have this thing for languages and listen to the answer the person told me he said because David wanted to relate to the person and knowing their language gives you a commonality with them you don't know the language okay but so so he always sought to know this word and that word of that person I'm saying that we talk about is coming from that in other words get down in the trenches get down in the other person's trenches see this sometimes uses this wording with the words he slapshos right there is making a difference at an impact what we call actually this from above to below a rabbi comes in let's go to a talk of speech and you walk like say wow fantastic unbelievable you come home and your wife says what did the speaker say you say I can't repeat it but it was great that's an impact from outside you to you but it's not you when does it become you when you can repeat that and not just as a parakeet verbatim but in your own words that means then you have it you got it huh and that's yeah ultimate that's that's correct very good that's Das when we talk about it's not enough to make a home for Hashem but that the home becomes your home your need this is who I am so I'm saying this because we learned yesterday that Emma speaks here about that we yeeden through observance of Mitzvahs and study of theta make a make the world a vessel for godliness what does that mean Yeshua it means that the going the non-jew the baseball team the theater the golf course they become not only a subordinate to a Jew and not only an assistant to a Jew but it's as though they become Jewish huh what they become holy yeah they're technically are good you know there's a secret from there but we're in the in the llamas I forget which volume that ever speaks about whether or not when mashiach comes will non-jews be obligated to convert and will they convert to Judaism and it's a mochaikus to disagreement I believe it's it's going back to the China to to the early code of fires of of Jewish law and into a scholarship and and it's a serious disagreement somewhere in a liquid okay so without going into the details even if we say that they won't convert right when mashiach comes the grain will not convert nevertheless the objective is the going should should be become like you say shalom holy in what way that the guy thinks about God the guy becomes Godly who has that obligation who has that obligation to share that with the non-jews with the glaim the Yeet and this is why the purpose of man which is created on day six impacts the beginning of creation and from the very beginning the objective is living such a life let's continue page 35 the second chapter to understand the inner objective the inner intent of the of what we said earlier foreign in other words all Jews oh yeah the mark are together on Rosh Hashanah there's no difference because of the clothes you wear or all the same because the verse enumerates Ten levels are very distant one from the other okay the the the rabbi and the Elder is not a water a water collector and a water collector is not a carpenter and a carpenter is not a lawyer Etc in other words their differences but they all stay together and the verse says [Music] all together all Jews stand and not only are they standing there and their feet are tired and they're about to collapse but rather kayumi they're standing there with energy with strength with eternity it's the day of judgment for All Creatures you stand together but I knew the Kuching whatever is referring to there's a Yiddish for like the following in other words we're standing how long are you gonna last standing standing straight and up right up you know and strong how long says ear blight stain you remain standing in other words the position in which we stand before Hashem as such as though we will continue standing the rest of our life that yes yes why isn't that what good night good night a disgrace yes yes what you're saying is true what it's saying here is true just just wait wait a few minutes wait I just don't understand in other words as you are a mahalak you you you your your mindset is standing not standing being Limited um limited but here is teaching standing with strength with strength in other words the manner on which your mahalak you're a walker and a goer and a doer is in a manner of Eternity is not standing it's resilient it was yes yes thank you and we also say that I think I was speaking to the Jewish people on Russia Channel also or not necessarily just um well I mean you mean historically was what was the passion I don't know I I never heard that I mean the the the what we know is but it's a good point you're making in other words does that imply does it actually happened I don't know um I don't know if we if we can we can know but um I hear you I don't know the fact is that that the day of Rosh Hashanah is is in a in a manner of standing with the resilience as Elio says but whether Parsha at them that seven was said I I don't know we should look into them first that's what I would start you know but I don't know but afterwards everyone stands with a similarity from The Head and the big Macho and the big big shot to the to the person who feels themselves insignificant God forbid because there's no one that's insignificant and there's no one that's indispensable that's dispensable because if Hashem creates a person he says I need you not just I hey you're here and uh you know make the best out of your day I need you and my creation is not complete without you although there are differences amongst people the differences are not just in their practical life but also in their knowledge in their in in their Essence and what they're about as it says in the Holy Zaya is they're masters of um of esoteric and secrets we call them Mariners they know the the esoteric world of Kabbalah Etc there are people who are seasoned in the knowledge of the secrets and they know the reasons for mitsules and therefore like the rabbit's father our deba's father was a master of Secrets and his entire approach to Taylor was miyosad Yeshua if you look into the father's writings it was based on Kabbalah in fact there's a letter I was I have Russell we had we were learning some of the rabbit's letters and that had written to his father about a certain issue in the gemara I think of my circus Magilla an issue yeah no I think is the famous comrade he drank a lot at the meal and that that famous sikha right so if you look into the lady I think it's there if it's not there it's elsewhere in there the the rebel writes an explanation of the explanation that he shared with us so many years later in Crown Heights in 770 and if I bring in he wrote to his father and it's very interesting to trace it because you see what he said is traced back to 1928-29 during those years so his father answers him I receive your explanation and he says and he doesn't say more but which means it's near the truth let me cut of Lamas it's even oh the word MS Jewish writing has also the meaning of Kabbalah kabbalah's called the world of Truth the the secrets esoteric teachings of theta is called div it's called the world of emis so he is Mark the the term used in in Jewish literature for the for the teachings of cabal is called the wisdom of emis Okay so when the Reba's father says to the Amis of course what you said is true and what of course and correct and right on great explanation but it's yet not Kabbalah there's a capitalistic understanding of these and it goes on to sharing the letter the kabbalistic idea of the whole discussion of that same tomorrow I found that fascinating you know and and and and and really that's that's the way a father and a son who are communicating should communicate in other words he's telling him my dear son what you wrote is great great information and correct but it's kind of lamis what does that mean you still need to learn how the Kabbalah looks at this whole discussion and he goes on to share it so why do I say this because here we're learning in the mind there are there are people that are very much into Kabbalah and they learn Kabbalah and they know the say this is they learn the inner aspect of Torah which is called the secrets those that's one category of of a group of people who are immersed in in Kabul and there is so there are people learned they learn very well the Tata to understand it and the river says that's the revealed part the talmouth next page 36. then there is a third category is there are people that do good deeds Ebola much to his law they go around visiting people in a nursing home in a hospital and giving to Dhaka and what do you need to eat and I'll give you a ride like my great friend here Marcus we arrive in the morning they do good deeds maritime that's their means that's their emphasis okay let's continue and these are people who are immersed in action Deeds Shane makimim is a Mitsubishi Heroes and therefore comes to doing a Mitzvah they fulfill the Mitzvah with particular nuance in 1985 my wife was pregnant with my oldest with my oldest child my son had a very we were living we were shloken in California at the time had a terrible accident on the 101 freeway it's a four-lane freeway was saved came out unscratched and it was I wrote to the Reba and I spoke to my mashpira by right chick senior and I said to him can you explain what just happened here a good woman newly married I'm the revolution it seems like we're doing the right things right look what happened the righteous said to me for that you have to go to the river I can't I can't answer you what God has in mind so I wrote to the red but you know not really seeking an answer but more you're getting it off my chest because it was very very Troublesome very I'm saying I didn't understand it a few months went by got no answer and one day in January I remember a letter in the from the web in it was in my my office a post and the rapper writes to me firstly blesses that my my wife should have a healthy pregnancy and deliver and fine and which baruchem was and then the rabbit writes PS three lines Hashem I had much communication with that ever and receiving responses from him various things and he says to me you regarding the episode that you write about and I told her about the details there's many more details I just don't want to think of the time he was driving at 90 miles an hour a drunk driver being chased by the police went right into my little Toyota new Toyota totaled it it was it was a it was a life-saving miracle it's not even a question so I wrote all those details because you know and at that time it was like fresh it was raw and I was younger yeah when you're younger and you know although sometimes when you're when you're older you reflect more you take things more seriously but anyway the represents of the lesson how these are whatever's words the lesson from the episode that you write about this how important it is to have alacrity and you're the Schnell kite zizus the opposite of what Yeshua procrastination I'm gonna get up at 9 30 or 10 and get my day started and I get up at five six seven in the morning and I get active stop Crossing around get get you know you got a job to do Jesus doesn't write how he came to derive this lesson I imagine because I wrote in the guy was driving at 90 miles an hour I remember writing that that I do remember so I guess that I was saying the guy was going with such speed this teaches you that you need to do everything with speed and by the way it doesn't say there there's more in the rabbit's words it doesn't says that ever says they'll be calling Yoni Tafe he could have said to me your observance of Mitzvahs and your study of Titan and spiritual life should be with alacrity with Jesus doesn't say that he says with all matters of goodness whether it's an actual Mitzvah whether it's learning whatever you do should be with this reasons so I'm saying we hear we're coming over that ever says here that the person the group of people who are in the category of modern the modern ufdin Tavern they do good deeds that have been elaborates here and he says how because they show an interest in the details of Mitzvahs in the in the busy Heroes busy heroes in other words it's not that if they do a Mitzi and you know but they're careful have you ever seen someone as careful let me tell you about someone who's careful two I'm in the basement in Los Angeles I was one of the oldest looking of the the centers to learn there it's a Wednesday night it's Fierce timer you know how most of us say Spirit The Blessing and I'm standing next to a Jew and all of a sudden I see him like this saying I never saw you make a brother like that on a Wednesday night I swear it was a Russian gate his name was your love and family who I knew but that I never experienced and it opened up for me the idea that we're learning right here fulness when doing a Mitzvah is not just put on film let me just sleep right but you could feel in every nuance that the man means it and it turned my colors like he turned red like he was saying Yiddish a red beat why because the midstream was real to him told me once said told me once about it this amendment of a famous Mashpee and khabari told me I was standing by my roof in 770 upstairs outside the hallway whatever and all of a sudden that I'm missing them enough is nearby he's sobbing he can't control himself peace and this is who we know was this great hussard but a Jew on a on a midnight a mid-week Myra without any you know fanfare he's doubling to Hashem and all of a sudden it just flows the zahiros of a Mitzvah has no end or another example I'm giving you just examples from what I saw in my life Robert was already passed on a Russian Eid from Earth Israel came to the river so 1989 they made a sea maramba and the beignet in yerushalaya thousands of people there they were celebrating the conclusion of the rambam and they asked him they honored him as an elder Jose to say the Rebel's capital of how many years he will be whatever that number was so he got up to the podium and I have this on a video for the life of me I can't find it because once I find it I'm going to publicize it just to see a Jew say a capitol to heal him one song out loud you will melt even if you're a stone you'll melt just just a song love may not say me is merely David every word was nuanced every word you've heard and just reading this wasn't like a young Kippur a Rosh Hashanah with a mitzvah this is then there is the heroes so we spoke about sahiros and we spoke about Jesus let's continue yes Elio uh can you explain from one side you're saying yeah not think about anything right now the quality the quality of the now should be with Jesus the quality of the now should be as this must be done now that the the quality it's not it's not a technical no there are people who are procrastinators and they need to work on their results no question about it I'm not gonna let's let's understand that for many people and believe me it's a big issue but but for those that don't have that issue that's not their issue so how do you apply this concept of alacrity of zizus within the quality of what you're doing it you should have that feeling of diseases let's continue the highest with a live limits this is Yiddish metastatic starter can clip English Mac beautiful words with a tremendous how do you say clap in English what do you say attachment yeah but okay with a a tremendous attachment and pleasure light Galatians there are people that this is their mitzvah and in this mitzvah see them alive they do another mitzvahile it's like oh my by wrote why because there's a certain Mitzvah that talks to them according to Gabon the Ariza by the way has to do with the shama the mother says in Shabbos but my absolutely right which myths are you most part particular about but I'm talking not even about that good mother I'm talking about this concept of of of doing a certain Mitzvah because it's your mitzvah and we see this in in actual life as foreign wow in this mystery has a completely different energy those that are in that are into action-oriented life where they they emphasize the bottom line the highest of islamas they do the action with vitality and enthusiasm I know not only do they do with Elio okay he now is this is making a a difference between hidor and Hayes you could be a good literature yeed or a Spanish or anyone that fine you it means anyone that wants to identify in their mindset as a husband even if they're a lit the lit with it the horses within the lithwork is doing the Mitzvah Baha'is let me let's read a few more lines and maybe we'll end a few a few points okay behind the design we will have to kill mixers with a life Yeshua with a life in other words a man is alive in this Mitzvah in this Mitzvah you see you see him you say wow oh boy he's into it white because in this mystery Mark in this Mitzvah you see the person in another mixer that they do they do it and they do it meticulously but you don't see the life within it because that's not what that's not their mitzvah when you're not see this I didn't see whoever says this is the idea of cities see this reveals the inner Vitality of every issue that you're dealing with very important see this if people make the mistake they think hasidis is something outside to the issue on hand the devil says no Kim calling Yana the entire idea of citizens it reveals the inner Drive of that item of that object of that thing that you're doing it reveals its heart now it's not it comes from the outside it imposes it's approach no it it reveals that everybody has the famous country that says where he explains what maidani according the restoration of the Soul we thank God in the morning right you got up this morning Mark you opened your eyes thank God I'm alive there's a fellow in Borough Park of the grandson of the slaughter marebo told me when he was a young boy he was helping an older hasid who moved from America Robert Costello's name family Castell so the grandfather moved to exit slope and he was and he was stayed with MMA ashara and this fellow was kind of an aid to make sure you know he has his needs so he remembers just one morning he told me this one morning he gets up and he says I'm alive he says I'm alive when's the last time we said I'm alive I'm alive forget nothing else I'm alive you know you know what it means to say I'm alive and to feel I'm alive not just I'm alive because I'm going to shoot I'm alive because I'm giving sadaka I'm alive because I have work to do that's already an adjunct in Hebrew that's a government nicer you're alive see this see this that's by the way that's my Danny as a cat that ever says in this essay then there's the maidani that hasidus reveals with them Allah I'm alive you're alive who is the you God is alive in other words your haggish your feeling is in the maidani I'm alive because Hashem is alive and I am a vessel for God so see this doesn't create something new as some argued in the past but the rabbit says see this reveals within what you are who you really are let's continue [Music] very nice but you know enignaramus is not a fusset that was in the past I would like to say only in the past that the feeling was that hasidim were ignoramuses they didn't know they didn't know Talma they were ignorant you know what did they do all day they sat around in the stable this is the far from a stable but they had to him and Herring and fabrangians very very nice hey when are you gonna learn some talmud when are you gonna learn hello so the bottom line is the work went out that see them are ignorant ignoramuses in Hebrew we call that says you cannot be a real husband if you're ignorant or the size in order to live out the dream the dream of being a Jew the dream that I'm alive with god making me alive you have to know in great detail how to live like a Eid looking there for yes [Music] we have a set time to learn to learn local [Music] it's very nice you know it reminds me of a story that was is written down by someone who lived to see his name was Golden State came there to throw took from the early 20s and he wrote his mem ber I wrote his his Aquinas fascinating read someone trying to now publish it in English it's a Yiddish fascinating and he talks he talks tot you know T.O team he's right topless bottom line it tells you the way it is somebody sometime in the 1870s he was traveling he ends up for pastry shall pay so he ends up in Tony Tony is is was the hub for the chernobular hasida you heard of the good that whole group Chernobyl what yeah Abdullah was the originator yeah so he ends up in tone it and he you know is more of a habbatical about it and a special place at night now why don't we do spiritual Pace at night we learn when we were in Yeshiva David Raskin with her brain and wine and then going okay fine but no one was getting stoned and you know there was it was pretty no it was nice and normal well he tells us over the Stoners were drinking a lot the night of fish which I found that fascinating you know so this is 150 years ago that others see them not habotniks are drinking excessively on three-ish at night so I mean I think it's important just to put that as a as a side note to know that when they tell you the little Babbage hey you could use this story which he saw with his own eyes but that's not the end of the story so comes the morning and it's time you know where they're still up they would they're basically if I'm bringing on the so they want a thousand no problem there's a minion it's time to do um we do Priestly blessing some she couldn't want to go over to do the hunting so an opinion says the Jewish law says if you're drunk you're not allowed to do something you're not allowed to do the Priestly blessings so they said to him listen they called them at Salem cup they thought he was a Mustang they thought he was an anti-hasidis they didn't really know who he is so they thought he's a troublemaker he's in their basement he's starting up with them so they said to him hey you don't let us do the duchening we'll break your bones and to get out of here you you they call them you know a cross head Salem cup meaning in other words you're not you know what I'm saying get out of here you're a troublemaker so he says to them if you don't if you don't listen to me I'm going to your River and I'm going to tell him that you're you're shickered all night you got yourself intoxicated and drunk all night and this is the result breaking and they saw that it means business so they listened to him he recorded core story that happened from the fastest where this is a you know so many years ago what lay I'm a artist question you're Shaker no problem be Shaker but you can't do the Priestly best thing you have to know what is that's what let's continue so it says lay the city yes the other thing is they do they're involved in charity and Sudoku news the main number with their money go from with their bodies in other words they they slept they slept themselves to help someone fix their Tire on the freeway they're not just passing by they see someone who who's broken down they stop and it's 90 degrees outside they're schwitzing they're not some and spiritually they reach out to others that don't know how to read Hebrew and they sit with them and they read Hebrew and they talk to them they teach them that's called a spiritual to DACA with your soul yes they're simple people they fulfill Mitzvahs and the Jewish customs the way they were told and frankly you should know a lot of people from Europe my family comes from Europe grandmothers and you know grandpas simple hidden my own mother a blessed memory was raised after the war she was a survivor in Costa Rica there was no Jewish school my mother didn't learn how to read Hebrew a little bit a little bit she gets married to my father who's you know take a seventh Yeshiva it's only you know uh potatoes and and eggs and matzo for pesach you know has no hair you know because he's taking taking a zero haircut he's so religious he marries a girl from Costa Rica I mean from Poland to Costa Rica they make an agreement you're a young man they're you're sure you're going to get you're looking to marry right how do you how do you put together someone who's so Hasidic and so such a so such a zealot in a way with a girl who came to America she wanted to go to Radio City in Manhattan if I tell this to my girls I have mostly girls I tell them how did my great your grandparents do it they had an agreement because my father after the first date he came back to the Yeshiva and he said to his friends he said I don't know what to do I like her nice person I think she likes me but she's mom guess what she's told me she wants to have a television in the house television the Rebus spoke about not having televisions in the 1950s they're at the said it's like having a priest in your house can you imagine what her say today about the internet but we won't go there we won't talk about that but yeah but the point is so my father's friends said that Let's Make a Deal she will agree to allow you to educate the children in the way you want to educate them as Chabad children you agree to having a television in the house how do you like that 1960. what am I trying to say they married absolutely and I had neighbors who were other Hasidic polish and they would come upstairs we would play together and they would television they would go like this they would pass the television so it wasn't like this it was thinking right so we had the television people there uh I don't talk about it now but we you know on one hand we've come a long way on the other hand we've lost a lot in other words we grew up model of the rabbi here I'm a little older than him but we grew up his father was a my reppi my teacher we grew up where you know in a way they didn't these things were there wasn't this pressure and yet and yet we were very much into our learning and and fabrangians and Community you know but the point that I'm saying regarding what we're learning here is this what do you want my mother grew up in Costa Rica she didn't have a base yaakov or a base rivka she didn't have a teacher so she didn't know Hebrew but she came from a Jewish home she came from a religious home she was a Survivor she she knew that this is where the truth is give another example my father tells him we moved to Brooklyn and you know moved to borrow box my father says you can buy a house we rent it on Ocean Parkway it's in Brooklyn a nice house so she says I like the house but I don't want to live there you know why because my our children won't have other Yiddish children from children to play with that's right that came from my mother my father who my father was going to buy the hat that house you know that's what he could afford it's a nice house nice neighborhood and you know by him it was a given why he's out working all day you know she says no wait a second who are these kids gonna play with you know so here is the the one who wasn't raised Hasidic and and knowledgeable so let's go back to the text I'm not sure simple people they don't know any any of and much any of the romakai amidst they do it because they're told these simple people needless to say beside this they don't know kabbalah and secrets that I said the reason for Mitch was their virtue is so great the king of amits that when they do Mitzvahs they do it with sincerity and sincerity is precious and beloved by Hashem more than all the intellect and all the knowledge and all the sophistication Apple let me call them up in the west side is that ever says all these type of categories that ever mentioned three right Mori Rosen Murray the secret the group of Kabbalah the group of halach and Gomorrah and then the simple people he says they're all good but they're and they're all but they're all different groups so so now the first says amen you're all standing here they're all important before Hashem and Hashem is the father of Mercy okay heaven now
