so um i'd like to see if we can finish
the countries
by our break which is uh tish above
hopefully it will be celebrating with
shiite yerushalayim
uh
but um
one way or the other
i mean one way or the other we'll uh
i'd like to finish it so let's go right
to the text page
um
page 50 page 61 chapter 11.
so now
okay
thank you there you go
okay so let's go to page 61
chapter you alef now after the rebbe
explained to us the four different
interpretations of maidani based on shot
remiss
and said
he comes now to explain
what is the
what is hasidis's explanation let's read
inside learn insight
now the previous explanation shall be
done
that they're based on the four
sections of trader had to understand
taylor the simple
the hint
the the homiletic the drush
sermon say the esoteric the kabbalistic
which correspond to the four levels
within each first jew's soul nephesh
ruach
this explains specifics
if you compare it if it's compared to ha
cloud
to the general rule
in comparison to the general rule of
modality which is going to say in a
moment all these four are specifics
what is the general rule of of maidani
it's not about the resurrection
it's not about and it's not about other
the other interpret the kabbalistic
about malchus
in your side and all that
it's very simple give thanks oh you
don't be thankful god returned restored
to the shaman you be thankful
comes along
i see this which we already established
earlier in this essay is called
chapter udalif
first paragraph of the new chapter page
which is called
see this gives us a general
interpretation
a general explanation
not a specific one and what does to this
explain
see this explains the essential
point
and here it is
in the beginning of each day
who been made our needs with more danny
minimize
your diet we say it before we wash our
hands as we discussed at length
which means i feel it be a diamond
tomatoes even if you have spiritually
contaminated hands
because you didn't wash necklace yet
how could it be that we say made our
knee with these with with the spiritual
impurity on our body we shall call out
because all the impurities of the world
ain't in the tamils
yehudi cannot defile the mighty
with of any and every year
it doesn't impact it it can't touch it
f share the third it's page 63
it's possible
that's a jew is missing this issue or
that issue
but the maidani
within every jew
nisha thomas
is always
pristine and complete
and this is everyone knows the basic
idea one second is that this is the
basic idea that the neshama in its pure
pristine state
is flawless
is exceptional it's beyond the whole
category of tumantara
when we say tumantara when we say
purity laws are purity and laws of
impurity we're already talking about a
specific
place within the soul within the design
what we're learning
now is that khasiddha says
that the maida ani of a jew transcends
all of those specific places it is what
we call the jew the yehudi
that's why markham is called in the
beginning ish yehudi even though he was
from the tribe of benjamin binyamin
why because he represents yehudi
yes yes sir
so
the
ani
even if he doesn't know it correct
correct
let me ask you if you don't know
that um
during the day you won the lottery did
you still win the lottery
yes
you yet don't know it hopefully you'll
find out sooner than later
another the fact that we don't know
or more so the fact that
there are schmutz on
we messed up
that ebba says yes i understand you
messed up but that's a particular part
of your being your essence
doesn't have any schmutz
and and and if you think about this
thought this isn't you know
it is but it isn't in other words this
is the essence of truva how can you do
chuva how can you do truva if you made
damage
and the answer is this part of ourselves
that never has damage on it
and it's from there that you're doing
truva and dalton explains this by the
way and you get us a true at length
there is that part of true will for this
sin and that's in karus
you know this and that and it's all
important and it's all true
but then
if a yi reaches a part
right what is the word
in the moment
that's brought
the biggest sinner on earth to gomorrah
says
you know
la havedo the will chamberlain the
famous basketball star bragged about
excuse the expression sleeping around
with a thousand women right
and i belong
what it says
was the biggest sinner so he
whatever
he probably didn't even even worse than
will chamberlain have though right
and nevertheless
what does the mother say
that bashar shaytan
in one moment
god he cried he said i
and in that oi was his trooper and he
died the truth
and what does let me say
someone who can buy can
acquire the world to come in one moment
that doesn't mean in one hour but xiaomi
is in one
turn in one notion in one movement
in one oy
he's a
people have to work all life to get into
islam
and allah this this this grub young this
this boar
that lived his life like such a bore
says the gemura this isn't see this
isn't kabbalah is a muslim it's gemara
and maura says that he was kindness
because in that one show
he expressed
i see that i made a bad mistake and i'm
with you god and no more
that where does that come from
but it just is made up what happened
a person is living a lifestyle that is
terrible
spiritually bereft of god and worse
and all of a sudden he gives a shray he
gives a scream oi
i realize my mistake and that he gets
layla
first of all it's not fair
here we are every day we learn we die
when we do mitchells we raise our
children we pay tuition and everything
else
and you know we make a husband
and here's someone who lives like a boar
and a heathen a bohemian and all that
and he and and and he merits
and what's the answer because sh
shaw
because he made a
an immediate
about face
to his very core
and when you touch your core
that's true yes yay
okay so so
your last kasha
so i have a cash on your last caution no
problem
i remember learning this very long ago
but there was a gemara
about a big sadiq whose whole life was a
big sonic and the day that he died
he became notradic he became a russia so
adaraba how do we
how does this fall in i mean if this guy
can do all sins and then the last day of
his life all of a sudden duchumba
this guy his whole life was a huge sonic
and he impacted many people did a lot of
good things and then he lost it all you
know in the ninth inning the bottom of
the night
and you know and and good that you
mentioned that and and the i believe
you're referring to
can i i have
every
moment matters
every single moment
yes
the the what are you referring to
is that
the mr gemara says that he went into the
kaido shakadoshi and he was a client
right there right right 20 minutes for
you you should like the cut you cut you
he went in for years
and you know the mishna yuma talks about
how they tied a string around the korean
girdle because they were fearful they
wouldn't come out because if you had one
martial
one outside thought while bringing the
tyrus and during the ceremony in the in
the in the kaido shankar darshan you
died on the spot
no monkey busy dropped there that's
that's what the mission says
so they were fearful and then what would
be the problem a regular person is not
allowed to go into the craters of
conduction including the clean stamp
so how do you get him out
he's dead on the floor in the crate of
sakadoshi
the answer is that's why they tied a
string around them and they would pull
them out
what it says
was such a taddick
that he went in for many years and he
came out
then what it says
i don't know if it's right there or else
we're in the gamut that
at the end of the line his life like the
last
he became a stuki
he bought in into the philosophy of the
shadow seas that's looking
which is they don't accept hatership on
pet
the oral
law and that's heresy
so what do we see we see that this is
what you're referring to i believe so
what's the answer so the question again
is asking is
he hears that sadiq all these years he
went into the kardashians so holy
how is it
that at the end in one moment he he goes
up
so the israel says it says confirming
that that's the case the question is how
does that work
so the
pastors you say well the person should
never trust himself
and that's that's the basic
answer even someone who's so holy so
righteous
should not trust himself
and this is very important
and
frankly has been repeated they repeated
to us in the last five ten years in our
community with people who were so-called
righteous
and did many things and then you see
that either they were a scam or they
fell into that into uh
bad situations and they they lost it so
you can't trust a person should never
trust themselves and that's a basic
talent in yiddish kite
a person who says i can trust myself is
is wrong and about
but
what is the the spiritual idea and
psychological idea of european clinton
is the following
the fact that on the last day
he can become an epic
that his entire avoided till then was
not 100 pure
it's not that it in other words there
was something missing and in a very
refined way one second
if a person lives with this that we were
talking about now in the summer this
level of the summer this level of the
shaman's beyond impurity because it's
it's god are you gonna see
it's like saying god you can screw up
no god can't screw up
if anyone believes god screws up that
that god i don't want
he's not god it's not god
she's not god
hashem
is all good only good i oh the way we
perceive it the way it comes into the
world
all kinds of explanations but the exam
of hashem
is that is his godliness is a lycos and
because it's gavantic sweet beautiful
it's i who have the problem it's the
situation on the ground that can't
relate to this or that
so
living with
when we say living with yehida it means
living with god
you are a stick of god you are a god and
if you are a god
the whole idea of messing up and not
messing up
is not god that's already a condition
that's already a manifestation
that's already a description
we're talking about beyond description
so
when someone
lives a certain way and then they mess
up it shows that the entire time they
weren't living with god
they were living with self
a refined self
a behavioral self
but it's impossible to be god
and screw up
in other words can you be god and then
become not god that's an oxymoron
that's a contradiction
if you're god you're always god
and if you're not god you're never god
so siddhis teaches that the hashem
inserted in the yid on
that's god and that's why dr ebba's work
in chapter 2 and tanya is so amazing and
important
you have a we have a piece of god in us
that means we are a stick god now if you
live with that then your god
god in the form of a human being to
serve god to serve
yes my
because i just want to go back for a
second
about you
he wasn't like 100
pure
what well first of all
there is nobody who is 100 pure
so i don't i'm not i'm
we have to i guess answer that question
statement there's no one that's a
hundred percent pure
that statement contradicts the idea that
there's a sadiq
especially according to the alternative
and tanya but even not according to the
alternate the way you ask
any jew that learned in a piece of
mother what's the basic belief that a
sadiq
when he becomes a sadiq either he's
always been inside who comes in
the state of being is that the sadiq
doesn't mess up
yeah but
yeah we know that
okay
yeah okay
what you quoted is sir what my
is is is egg beating and back biting i
hear i hear it's hard on his chest
it's not coming and it's not i'm not
saying this to as a put down
it's a western way of thinking it's not
a year that's your way of thinking i'm
not even talking about the citizen way
of thinking
the yiddish way of thinking is the gamut
go back to the mother before see this
the mother says things come about in
shabbos the commander says
call me whoever thinks that
who did a sin
is making a mistake that is a gomorrah
comes along my shirt and instead says
wait a second
he goes and takes a woman but ever puts
her husband on the front so he should
get killed so he can go and have and
marry her
isn't that a real a real russia
good question right
and you can look at their commentaries
how they answer it
but
how does that chive with the gemara that
called me sha ahmed that mush
david
is making a mistake that's the mother
says
so in other words
there is a what's the explanation
there is a level of david
which is nishama
and over there there's no hate
and that's what we're learning this is
all consistent
that level of sadiq and that level of
david and that level of
of every jew is beyond hate that's the
verb that we're learning here
that there's a part of a heat or
medicine the real yeah the the jew the
yohudi
is beyond sin
even governor melith
when he allowed himself into a second
stage
that's where sin begins
and that's what in that so you can
understand the good that you can
understand with bachelor and everything
else
so if so you'll ask a question so what's
the difference
and and us
in us the answer is whether
it this this this idea
this reality permeates
every aspect of our life more aspects or
less aspects
and that's what the balacania is
teaching in tanya
chapter 14
that every jew is shy to be a sadiq
and his sonic his version of sadiq not
the the gemara is version of sadiq
meaning
that every jew is shy to perfection
by the way if you have my book to behave
i wrote at length about this years ago
the concept about this idea because this
is what you
what you brought up much is it's very
important i'm not making light of it
because it's a very fundamental issue
and i wrote a whole a whole chapter on
this idea of perfection
what is
is the idea of perfection
within the jewish experience
and what is the idea of perfection
so this is a topic that needs to be you
know thought about learned about and
thought about and i'm giving it here
just because because it's this level of
the shaman
so that sadik lives yeshida
so moshe when you when you when you ask
about uh you know that like you made the
statement you know ev every person
you know goofs up
the answer
every person goofs up when when he or
she is not living
and that's the verb here that when you
get up in the morning and you say my
name
is
so when you begin your day you're living
with
truth
the issue is what happens throughout the
day
where you you put this truth into the
background then you go on with your day
and the day is the way with the day is
but that's the verdict that in the
morning when you get up you have a
yakita experience now
it's up to us every day to take that
experience which is in us and actualize
it and bring it throughout the day
let's continue inside anyway it needs a
lot of thought more thought but this is
part of the discussion so this was good
let's continue
and he says now on page 63
the indians said
the concept of a blemish or even
spiritual contamination of ram is
possible
from from the perspective of yakida
within the soul
is the word means it's united
constantly
for the essence of god
and shaykh look at the words here
a shark means it's not possible
you're innocent not that it doesn't
happen
it's not possible
any kind of blemish and spiritual
contamination has
[Applause]
why is it that in the maidani we don't
say one of god's names
one of the seven names that you're not
allowed to erase
and the explanation is
since
that the essence of the soul has for god
is for the essence of god the light to
be shamed that cannot be grasped in any
name
yankov
hillary
very nice it's all names
that's only a name
an important name
that's something that's beyond the name
is right you and i to call each other
there's something beyond the name the
essence
you know what learning over here is
even the names of hashem the seven names
of god
which ain't in the hook him and halal
raised them they're holy
nevertheless it's still a shame
i told you the story of mental foot of
us comes out of chernovitz after nine
years in
in in hard labor in siberia he's now in
england
he go they you know he goes on the
street he says that you yeah he says uh
trillion
he doesn't speak a word of english
the guy looks at him
like i wasn't when someone saw him the
other day there was a cleaner person who
helps clean the house
didn't understand spanish didn't
understand a word
just looks at me and looks and looks and
i look at her and i'm trying a bit right
so medley
shows the man the children and the guys
looking
so he knew one english word
you know you says
you you you trillion i trillion he roses
arm up i push through
nothing needs to be said nothing needs
to be said
anything that would have been said
would have would have messed up the
situation because he wasn't interested
in feeling you know about phil and then
all that
he touches the heart
he touches the shaman
this issue of the essence the essence
being beyond the name
yeah
so obviously the name is composed of
letters
yeah so is this connected to the idea of
a negan
is like beyond it
is those beyond constraints yes
yeah same idea
the same idea but you know
that
that a niggin without words
touches deeper in the soul that are
negan with words because the with
words is limited to the words correct
good good example
that's why this explanation that we just
said
that modal need transcends
definitions and conditions and touches
the essence which is pure
says that but that's why this
explanation about maudani is
specifically exidus
not in kabbalah
speak about the four levels that already
describe descriptive
action
spirit
intellect and will
aina mevarim in
bold they do not truly explain in
the concept of oneness
you say them is we find even more so
bizarre
what more could you have than the side
the kabbalistic the esoteric
nevertheless
a madrigal ship in the sharma the zoa
enumerates the levels of the soul
and this nephesh
that's the way the zohar says it look
what the rabbit says
the zora does not
mention as one of the four levels of the
soul yakida but rather the fourth one is
called
why
this
because the zoar is limited
to what it is
and it's it's only kabbalah it's only
mysticism so mr simpson only talks about
a soul-to-soul experience in other words
like this
there is nephesh there's ruach there's
the summer
and what is kabbalah the fourth level
sold the shaman to the shama
whatever
but the point being why doesn't the zara
use the word
the answer is not just a matter of names
and words it's because the zohar can't
use
you go tell this you go tell this
that someone is learning zara can smack
you in the face yes hillary
so where do we get the terminal from
it says and no and the note here it's
not explained and elaborated in eight's
kind but is it introduced there i mean
where do we get that term from
it's introduced in apostic that's it's
called
i don't have right now the reference
have to look it up here we'll find it
here you guys can find it but there is
there is there is a reference to it but
what what we're learning right now
is that
see
this kind of
was the first to introduce it
as
a with a name
with a name you have to
we're saying that you read this beyond
name but
in order to talk about something beyond
name i have to have what to talk about
so we call that
thing that's beyond name yeshida oneness
yeah
i used to say the only one the only one
exactly the only one
great affection you know what yeah of
course
okay fine but
but again
the affection is already a twist
i'm saying
the only one
is pure
you can say look great affection you
could say
whatever cold
the nakuda of
oneness
is
is is pure
everything else is an adjunct so
sometimes it's with great affection
sometimes it's with tears
in other words
the fifth filler yom kippur right is
yeshida
we all know you know
when the gates are closing we're all
standing there
sitting beside us we're very moved
right i mean it's it's not a joke
if you believe in in hashem and you
believe in terror you believe in feeling
you believe in in the system
and you know that this is
countdown
the gates being closed either you're
getting you know you're getting you know
god forbid not it's not it's not a joke
it's not a joke it's very serious
so what's the expression of yahida then
for many people it's
tears it's it's it's it's it's you know
so it's a it's a a serious time
you come out with a schritz
that's why
you know you know i don't know but to me
you know
i think
you know everywhere the connie
the really the the most intense time is
is the ila that's really where the
thriller should be
devoured as ripped like would say right
devout but really convoluted in
comparison to cole nidre in comparison
to music in comparison to the son of
daiki
and unfortunately sometimes we're so
tired and we're so well we can barely
move
that the ila is like schwa
so that's why i think someone here told
me one of you guys said that rabbit
twister was showing david and the elect
one or two years before he passed on at
the the shul next door
you know
why did he push himself to darwin
because he understood because where
because he came from
a background that he knew that the ela
is where it's at
the closing prayer so when you say
hillel with great affection
that's one
description and expression of how you of
of taking the yakida but you keep this
pure
so for someone to say
if you don't have great affection you
don't have yahida that's nonsense for
someone to say if you don't cry during
the it's not
you don't have your feet it's not true
yahida doesn't have any form and it
colors it is what it is
and you can't legislate to say it has to
be this way you have to cry that's why
chabad
about you know kind of laughs at
can't
like you know we put up a sign in front
of the of the uh ahmed shivisi
summit
like it's a little funny you know
like
you
you you need you need a sign to remind
you if you need a sign to remind you if
you're it's bad you're in trouble we do
it because that's the way it's done
but like okay now
now i want you i want you all to cry
i want you now to rise and we do this we
do this because we need instruction and
the arts grow in the habits
i understand because people don't know
but we're talking about when you reach a
certain point yahweh is hashem if anyone
needs to tell you here you have to laugh
and here you have to cry
uh
it's you're still not there let's put it
down you're still not there
this is spontaneous this is not
oh it's rosh hashanah if i don't shed a
tear today maybe i can make up with it
on your keeper
it's like
that's not the way it works
if you're in the mode of research on the
yom kippur
it's going to touch you
that's all and and so it's not about get
get to the essence of the of the
experience
you're not going to get an extra brownie
point because you force yourself to tear
i told you they'll was something that
would say that's called crocodile
crocodile tears
and worse which i don't want to say on
being recorded
you know it's like come on you're a
crutch fetch somewhere else you don't
crash when you're dabbing
daphne is not about catching
that thing is about sharma davening his
soul
and if the soul comes to the realization
that where am i i'm so far
and i want to be closer it has a a
yearning it has a longing it has a
difference a different experience
let me just conclude here
thank you for bringing that up because
that was a good point you made i will
say this and see this which is
explained
that
the idea of
the other four levels comes
so the idea of insidis which explains
the quintessential point
of maidani
it enlivens
and illuminates
all the other four explanations that we
mentioned earlier in chapters 10 etc
as we will see later on
how
see this
illuminates each of the four levels so
what we learned today is
not yet
how see this illuminates the other four
we didn't learn that yet that's we're
going to start with tomorrow what we
learned today is what is the mighty
so and what and what is that
that you can't contaminate it and that's
why it's beyond contamination that's why
you say it before you wash knucklebuster
and if you think about it
velvet's a very it's it's
it's um
what we say enigmatic
why is enigmatic surprising
because since when do we say it feel up
before we we're purely wash our hands
throughout the day we're always washing
our hands right ocd watching the hands
for this and watching the answer this
washing the hands
and here is the one time that we'd say a
a a a prayer
without hashem's name but it's still a
prayer
before we wash our hands and that's what
we learned today
because it's specifically done that way
to show that even if you didn't wash
your hands you know it's even if you're
not pure
outwardly you're going to sham the
inside's pure and that's what my dad and
that's how you begin your day
so practically what does that mean the
way we need to look at ourselves and our
other eden and family included is
pure
and this is not easy
to find to look till that deep down
everyone is pure and to and to
believe it and to live it
and and when you do that and i and i
keep on reading but different than ever
how
people came over to him and they said
this is no good that's not good he's no
good or she's no good
and then ever bounces always back like
hey
like first of all he doesn't say this
but like you think i don't know
you know
what was the expression that brooklyn
bridge wasn't created over the night
right come on
but that's not the way to look at a
situation we know we have problems we
know we have difficulties
find the the good
look for the good
and if that would be your attitude
things will be so good
because you change your way you think
and you know all of us growing up in
different homes and different
communities and different cultures and
living now different places
the impact from the community and the
family and the culture
many times convolutes things
it makes you believe that it's bad
he's bad she's bad this show's no good
and this is a training where you
literally said this
and that's why it's it's never learning
never ends like the same camp yoni right
learning never ends learning never ends
when it's time to finish learning and go
play sports
see this never ends since never ends
see this never ends why because
this idea of looking
upon yourself with with good and others
is a daily activity
a daily activity i told you i'm kind of
sholam dyche from yerushalayim who was
in my spirit of thousands of people
right
and you would think that it's all rosie
he comes to bet chemistry i heard this
at a fabric of dollar chem
davis at the shul in the other area
it was a packed room and he said to
everybody guys
if i get up in the morning and i think
about myself and my family and my
situation
it's not it's not great you know and i'm
telling you
he's really
a a cut above i'm telling you
besides a massive talmud he's really
refined himself he dies for hours he's
really a refined person and he says
about himself if i start thinking about
the situation i get very morbid
you know this grandkid doesn't have
parnosa this grandkid has a divorce
whatever i'm not saying i'm just
saying but he says when i think about
what can i do for someone else and i
take away thinking about myself and
focus i become very happy this he'd
learned another moment another piece of
kamoda put on trill and gave to dhaka
and i was able to facilitate and help in
that way
from there you have simcha
and everyone here could
has that and should make that a point
and this needs to be shared with
children and grandchild family
to to think positive and the famous
words that ebb always says
to the biggest rabbi some biggest
he said i just read yesterday he says
when will already be the time that you
will draft good with zion good
and he's writing this to to one of you
one of his boys one of his emissaries
one of his soldiers but he complained a
little bit about this or that and the
devil said stop
when will you start thinking positive
you know i'm talking to myself i'm
talking to myself and we're it's it's
not easy see anyone says that's easy
they're a liar they're re
you have an individual here there that
by them it's easy but for the average
person it's not easy
because we see the black hole we see the
darkness we see the problem
we see we see the negativity we don't
see daily kus
we don't see it in the summer
shabbos i was learning on my mother the
previous lab but he says
when when you live and you experience
the summer he says that it's all good
that's all you
so we have to
rise
to live with neshama chevra have a great
day i'll see everyone tomorrow mr shem
said soon bye-bye
yeah thank you
