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
