Elul: Month of Outreach & Inreach

page in middle towards the bottom of the page yesterday we learned a very important thing and that is uh that ebba said that in order to appreciate your davening which is the seat of the service of the heart avoidership it it requires a preparation and the preparation is the hajj and that is done in krishna he didn't really say here krishna but that's what he means in other words i want to what i'm saying now is it's not the appropriate time to make a hajj bananefish before you doubt him because before your doubt and you're supposed to die in basim right what does it say bo erev yolimbe in the evening at night i cry o baby reno and the morning i sing what we know from that is that in the the evening service i.e krishna mita is the avoider of marinus of tears the frustration of chuva and the morning davening the morning service of of chakras needs to be basimka so imagine before you begin davening you go and start thinking about everything you've done wrong and how you know how far you are and you get upset and frustrated and then depressed and then whatever the case you won't be able to dive in basin trust me you'll be shattered so it's not the time in the morning to do that although hazal say i believe it's we don't rise to darwin unless we have literally a heavy head so what is what does that mean so the literal meaning is that you need to have the shema before you say the twila which in in terms of monastery and more muslim hasidic thought anointing doesn't refer just to monastery refers to all of davenink and evenly you don't start david in chakras unless it's coming from a sense and it's prepared by cleveland rush a heavy head what does cleveland rush mean you should put a big fat straight animal on your head no means that you weigh it's it weighs on you what weighs on you the rosh hashem is the rosh the head i.e kabbalah you know your sense of davening will not be proper unless you have cabola soil but you're innocent cabela's oil does not equal hezbollah fish what i'm sharing now is not in the mimer but it's very important to understand the avoid of chakras including the clever rush that we need before we begin chakras is not marinus and [Music] and that's why what what's what are the opening words of chakras i do we give thanks we're thanksgiving we acknowledge ie we have kabbalah soil so when you start with hoidou you can then go to kiru is already a call kero's description you can't describe and you can't call unless you have it settled within you that your master is the ablester that's kabbalah soil so that's what the khazal mean that we don't begin darkening until we have kabbalah soil it does not mean that you don't begin darwining by making a husband in the morning so this is important sometimes you might want to make a husband in the morning it's not the time for it when you leave to the evening another thought that comes to mind is we talk about the evening evening is dark gloomy so what we're alluding to is that you take this gloominess and this darkness and you convert it and transform it to a spiritual experience through krishna if you have a good knockout session a good j session it cleanses you even though you're you're confronting the weaknesses but that's good it's good because if you don't confront the weaknesses we'll never know how to improve so that's why krishna mita is a preparation for a a good davening i also want to say i don't know if you saw i wrote to you but yanisha sent me a beautiful essay this morning and in it he touches upon some of the things we learned here he talks about the difference between rodson and makshava so i'm encouraging you and i say you're innocent to and continue writing such wonderful essays that has hasidis in it and explaining it in english we need more of that so a big josh to you and you guys when you have a chance please read his essay okay so now we're on page 14 and we are one two three four or six lines from the bottom remember i told you towards the end of yesterday's year that all of this that we discussed is all year round but we're in the month of el and this mimer is from the double hashem three lines three words from the end of the sixth line from the bottom this is more space is is more relevant during the month of elul we call this the month of mercy this month is an auspicious time from on high um and during this month their shines the 13 attributes yes [Music] the entire purpose and idea of the you give me this this month is to bring closer those who are far and very far now these words aren't just you know nice words this is based on cabola there are 13 meters of rakhamim throughout the year there are 30 meters of raha meme during the month of elul and there's a third group of 30 meters what's the difference yes hilo have you ever seen an instagram any correspondence between the months um no but no but my brother wrote a book on the months and could be he maybe wrote something i can ask him but i don't recall and then i would also look into it maybe he has that's that type of uh uh discussion you might want to look into sasuke okay [Laughter] right that reminds me of the story that um the fraser of lebline the holy craze of dublin he had a certain minute and and i don't really understand it but this is the way the story goes his minute was that when people came michelle welcome to raise money to raise funds if you were related to him he gave you twice as much again that's the way the story goes it doesn't sound it sounds like nepotism you know but anyway aid came and the rabbit the the holy crazer gives him the regular amount that he gave to people so with all due respect he turns to the crazy he says hey look at rabbit hey look at the holy rabbi he says i'm your relative and implying i deserve twice as much as you gave me and the holy crazer looks at me says via vista if i'd ever heard of you and i never saw you how are you my relative so he says my grandmother's uncle's daughter and he gives a gun a fourth cousin a fifth cousin removed not removed it's it's about a gun i'm your relative says i love you man but i mean a relative someone was a close relative i i don't mean fifth cousin seventh time removed you know okay that's it the heiser doesn't want to give him double he doesn't feel that he's a real relative okay he goes out it's time for minha everyone darbas with the rapper with the sadiq and now it's time for us [Music] and from the back of the room there's a voice that is heard throughout the room including the khaisa hears it which means also a relative god is the god of rome what do you mean what's the relation to god and of rome i promise like you and i we're all born and created and nevertheless we say in the key of rome those are special guys so the guy in the back this mushroom said out loud and he meant to the kaiser if it's good enough for the rat the sages to put into shmonisre implying that although they're just very distant from they're not familial they're not relatives of god nevertheless they're called the god of avron the god of yitzhak so it should be good for you that i'm a distant relative and after a minute they called him in and gave him twice as much so i don't mean to show him to belittle what you said yoni i'm saying there's all kinds of relatives and the the ikkit is if one tucker feels close to a person he can be his relative you know that the rabbit once explained that that the altered was a grand a great a grandson of of um of the of the balshemptov and the rapper said well how is he a grandson he doesn't come from his lineage comes from the daughter adul so the rebel said there's a grandson begasmius and there's a grandson beruthnius and they're both just as valid there's a secret you could read it you should learn that secrets in the first volumes of the sikhs probably today it's in english as well so i'm not saying this just as uh you know to brush anyone off kasper show them it's true i'll tell you i tell everybody a secret my last name was only changed in 1950 when my grandparents came to america because they would not let them come to america with the jewish name what was my grandfather's jewish name longsum okay long summer yeah i've heard the name long so okay so let's go back to the mind anyway okay thank you but government goes back to the miami here did happen says here that the purpose of the thirteen meters during elo is lakari look at his language so first of all first of all if it's good enough for the kabbalah to say that and for the rabbit to bring the reminder it's good it's good for us in other words clearly what's the objective what's the purpose of these it's to be macariff to inspire people and bring them closer even those that are very very far so if you need proof that it's important to do kirov here's proof number two i learned to the mimer recently that the rebels said in 1973 anila deity he said that the youth throughout the year is for the goof it's it's it's godly energy to help the okay whoever just joined us please put on mute yourself thank you the godly energy throughout the year vis-a-vis the you give us like we say every day it is to impact us our god our goof our gosh the you give us all was to impact our roohneys and you'd give me this of naila is to combine gash bias because really gastronius is as it says in that famous their gas mias is if they use their gosh list properly but there ever says in this mimer and he gives some sources for it that the emphasis of good of of the you give me this during this month is to be maka is for the nephesh right so we have goof nephesh and nephesh as it's expressed by goof quite the shallow it's about nephesh so look so the language in the mimer is that during this month which is a time of mercy and he calls it ace racing on auspicious time and who makes it auspicious shall a milo hashem says that this month is a great opportunity and very special and during this month there's such energy that i'm giving you vis-a-vis the 13 attributes of mercy whose entire idea is one and one thing only to be makarov [Music] not only those that are close that need kiruf and we all need kiruf but also to in to make to bring closer the ones who are very very distant we have we have a little more than a month left today is the 13th of ellu so we have a little more than a month left to now take this two lines and understand it and work with it and do what it says the kind of the game is so in a way if someone asks you which is the month of key roof you know in america i don't know how it's an architectural we have every month has a certain celebrations nurses month doctors month sanitation people's month here it says that kreideshello is the month of kirov here he doesn't give a source but the idea that haider shallow is brought in the zohar now this line that that the entire purpose of the during this month is to be makarov also those that are very distant it could be i would i would say probably this is the rebbe's own language and idea he's when i say it's his own idea in other words it says in the in the holy zayer that there's three periods of you so the rebbe is translating it kind of you know bottom line what does it mean for us let's continue what do you think about that motion this this line here don't you think it's a heavy line a powerful line very very okay very very important kind but but look look at the word i don't want you to forget gum it doesn't say the car if you only said you know today we suffer from another issue we're just makara of people on the outside we forget about ourselves and our family and our friends and our community and the rabbi will take care of it there must be a take care of it you know hey my friend what outreach and in reach and and it's it's a very important thing and i'm not blaming anyone because you know sometimes people say well i went to the chabad house and they were makara these friar people you know but the the religious one and the from one they left to the side now you know you know if that's the way you feel that's the way you feel but you have to understand a person is is busy and has a purpose and has a mission and needs to help everyone but you can't sometimes get to everyone but again it's not an excuse the kirov is important for everyone understandably if your job and a mission is a certain group that's you know that's your job and obligation but at the same time if you can't do it delegate others to do the key roof for the ones who are close okay okay you can or say you can't you you don't feel like you have a sprocket you have it you're the comfortable and able to talk to froomies we call them froomies right okay so why don't you pay for someone else to talk to them why don't you make the arrangements for someone else to talk to them in other words i mean i you know i've been to your shoes and you know you're talking mostly in in in remarkable challenges from people let's not kid ourselves okay so what's the key roof the key of it is to fruit people to say hello how you doing how can i help you so the word gum should not be forgotten at the same time even those that are ysr they're very far this is the month of of of alerting their neshama and bringing them to hashem let's [Music] part of what we said before this is the difference between the 13 attributes of mercy that are revealed during this month hello in comparison to the 13 attributes in this gala which are revealed and what is [Music] they come as a result and preparation through elo rosh hashanah fascinating next page 15. in other words young kipper and the you give us on that day [Music] comes after the month of elul after rosh hashanah and after that make sure so therefore they are dependent on those three periods clean this up commercial kosovo as it's written [Music] my left is under my head and here is the way hasidis explains the verse the ten days from through my left is under my head it means the activity called yira left life whose because hashem's kingship his royalty his mouth and a king is to be feared a king is you know it's only during the month of vela that the king comes into the field where he smiles and he's easy going and he's wearing golf clothes and you feel comfortable you know but before and after ello he's a king you don't mess with him and you don't talk in front of a king otherwise you're finished so the idea of a meleef is year is fear right so it says the revelation of god's fear and awesomeness that that is given to the world from rosh hashanah through yom kippur but in what manner is it given in a way of smile in other words the ten and that's why you know there's a halacha for example though those people that are not brought even in the kitchen those people that are not careful throughout the year with eating pasta bread baked by a non-jew they should be mahmoud during the ascetic that's a halal in other words the ten days that status is is a not you know i don't want to say a scary time but it's a it's it's a time of no monkey business so what is that demonstrative of of smile in other words hashem puts into the world an energy that if if connected with if tapped into and if used it's going to give you a very powerful sense of discipline so you could say this be honest you could say the power of discipline is given in heidi's tishrei from rosh hashanah through yom kippur vis-a-vis the the ascetici that's a time of discipline discipline is discipline it's yidda there's law and order let's continue that's why we call hashem during those 10 days the righteous the king who judges why do we emphasize your kingship hashem is the kingship of all worlds [Music] as sensitive and refined as they are god's fear god's awesomeness frightens them don't think that only we are frightened through the sound of the schaefer and the ascension mature but even the celestial beings the holy realms of heaven are shaking and sintering hameles the king is here am i dressed properly am i groomed properly did i get get rid of those ugly demons inside in other words it's a time for a real checkup it's the yearly checkup with the doc um and this sense of awe and fear that the that all heavenly worlds experienced during that time is drawn below al claus israel to give them the sense of i accept god as my king that's discipline that's rule law and order very difficult very very difficult who wants to have cable soil very few people enjoy kabbalah soil we discussed it months ago moshe in our discussion about you know different people who are very rigid and they thrive on rigidity but the most people don't thrive on rigidity that that's the you know they want to be more loose and free right what are we learning here that the time when hashem puts into the world an energy that makes it easier to be and have kabbalah soil is during the seriousness you make sure during these 10 days if if you pay attention and you say i'd like to have this but you know give me the car you have to handle it it's there for you see each period let's go for a second to another code that's important each period each hog each man has its ace rota for a certain thing so for example rosh hashanah is kabbalah soil young kipper is atonement sukis is is rebuilding destruction that means that each of these periods if you focus and you make that the theme it will be easier for you to to relate to that and to bring that into your life so someone will ask well i want to during the month of ello i want to i want to emphasize simcha of course you could if this was embassy that means from on high it's not that now we know why is it called monsieur say no because you bring the produce into the house you listen right you have what to eat oh am i happy it was dry it was it was first cut and then it was wet and then it dried and then i bring it in and until i have it in the house i can't eat it now i have it oh basim that's the agricultural reasons given the toyota which is emis 100 but that also alludes to a spiritual concept meaning that this yamcha vasukis is the young and that ever spoke about as you should know so many years he the rebel would speak every night after mairev the eight days of sukkos sukis and this was a general theme that this is the time to ship means to fetch to fetch so the rabbit now here is speaking about assad and he says that the time of kabbalah when is the time to plug into kabbalah sale it's these 10 days but in order to appreciate the 10 days of truva it begins with these the 13 attributes of mercy throughout the month of elul now you see he says the words revealed to everyone what does that mean he does it because the melancholy the king is in the field now so it's open to everyone during tishrei as much as we said before it's the time for kabul of soil guess what you got to go and you have to go to the the kingdom to the palace and you have to get permission to get in and you have to get permission to go into this the chamber of the king there's so many conditions yes i want couple or so you understand during the ten and it's there but in order to access it properly i have to be able to to get to the location during the month of el you don't have to get any locution just go out to the field and you don't have to be dressed up just be yourself the king is there and he's smiling and he says what can i do for you yes your innocence yes draw kings in the field and he received you in a very happy way and you asked in the kingston to come remember everything so the officer writes down the request on the piece of paper and then when when you get [Music] who are you and they say my name is right but that that's true but remember even when you come in you have to go to here and there in other words right so that's why look what he says the words are the youth give him this he says it's revealed to everyone i think that's what he's alluding to that it's melody oh we're going to stop here and tomorrow will finish but tomorrow he gives the muscle of the king what we said he's going to talk it out now so what we conclude from today's learning is that that you must have in order to appreciate here's the point in order to appreciate the the tissue and in our case the 10 days and yom kippur it needs credit i like to say that unless and you see it unless you have a good election campaign you're not going to be voted in as president okay in other words the effort you put in now in the election period will show its results on voting day yes hillary i i told her ever told a story from sunrev i don't remember that he said he said what hello life elves like the person who stutters and he uh and he's going about he's in line to go meet the rebber and he's all month he said oh the whole way he's saying the child is to have the good javascript with the chavez forever so that when he gets there in front of the river he could say it smoothly okay very good avi good to see you anyway any questions and thoughts by anybody is it clear what we learned today very important to kuda very important and you mention the themes of all the different young men told them et cetera if you had again just the synopsis of the theme of ello i didn't actually say what ella is but the theme of ello is um i don't want to say truvo because it is true overall in classical khazal moshe it would be truva right but the way we're taking it apart and hasidis is it's that hashem makes it a auspicious time to be makara of ourselves and others you know so it's a form it's also true but i'm i'm breaking it down a little more well you know i i said it before it's the month of trouba right we're celebrating na i'm sorry the month of kiruf the month of of of of of being a car of ourselves and others la vino shrek in a way that the the the ground is fertile because the melaka is basada when the melaka is not basada it's tougher it's tougher we have to find them you know so this is the month of ello so make the best of your day today is the day when the previous rebbe our author and the one who we've been learning is my mottom he got married today with gimmel ello 1897. rebel was 17 years old he was born in 1880 got married in 1897 in lubavitch and that's when his father died said i want you to get involved in communal work and he was appointed the principal the main the dean the principal of the laboratory yeshiva under his father's guidance and the rest of his life he was dedicated to to communal work including and and then in 1920 became a rapper guess what of course that's a that's why it's called the laboratory of shiva it was ingula babbage i thought i thought that that one came afterwards i thought that was like uh no no before before the rash that samar said had who came to lubavitch and sat there they were called taishwam yashvim and uh his son of lady yitzhak made some kind of yeshiva but that wasn't a time to meet him the yeshiva that we talked about tom is the brand name of the babaji yeshivas from 1897 was founded by the rashab by the rashab in lubavitch what the cat in in in lubavitch it was also in the bavarian liverpool [Music] yeshiva that was for everyone who ever wanted to learn and i assumed they learned tanya and lakuta and you know but it wasn't the formal claims that established which maybe one day we should dedicate a class to go over the founding principles and it's interesting that um two days from today friday the 15th is talk of the day when train freight was miss yacit in other words he founded it on the 15th of elu and he announced it on the 17th on on the uh i'm sorry he he he he he found he told the son-in-law on the 13th at his wedding but publicly was if it was announced on the 15th available so in the bhavat yeshivas they usually make a fabrengan on the 15th of ello tesla okay everyone zeitgeist yes moshe what yes that was in 187 1897 was it was still in lavage the russians were coming coming in 1915 the officially was started in 1897. from 1897 to 1915 there are shop and the yeshiva was there that a shop left in 1915 the yeshiva state some stayed for another few years but that a shop was not there any longer he went to the stove right right right so from 1915 to 1920 kind of the yeshiva was in in the babbage and in other cities kermit shook and there were many many and there's a book called it's in hebrew they told us and over there gives you a breakdown of all the yeshivas and the people who ran the yeshivas and how many students is fascinating if you know if you want to know all that information anyway shalom village bye-bye refuse everybody
