Essence of Chasidus #29- Birthday isn't celebration of physical rather soul - Chasidic Modeh Ani

okay good morning we worked out the technical thing we're here together we're on page to learn issued base and what we learned before nice udalif yesterday was the the explanation of hasidis on maidani and that is refers to the essence of the neshama which we call yeshida which is beyond spiritual impurity and conte and contamination and therefore it is specifically said even before we wash our hands that was the kuda of yesterday now that ever begins showing how this explanation of yeshida modani being the concept permeates every one of the other four parts of modernity let's begin the highest that siddhas brings to the literal interpretation of [Music] very simply hashem thank you that you made me wake up in the morning no no commentary no hallucinations and no fascinations no illuminations i'm alive and i'll give you thanks that's shock shaykh zarta that you've returned and not in the word nishama but must see which is shali and he explains zosa menace this is this is what it means the entire thanks that we give is that you return to me the soul of a jew you know we could wake up in the morning and where we have the soul of an animal or the soul of an andrew and that's why we say one of the brothers [Music] of it so why are we giving thanks because you've returned to me minus sherman who am i you who did wait wait yeah he said do me a favor hold your question let me let me get some texts covered zoicevia that we wake up although we were dead one sixtieth of death at night and now we wake up for life a guy a nonzero doesn't have to say maidani on evan according to what it says here it doesn't have to say by god niko still never know whatever why so why don't we do have to say because [Applause] shines so therefore the person feels this is true life jewish life [Music] the spirit of the human ascends upward we walk on two not on four like animals because animals walking forth they're looking down to the earth we walk on two to be able to look up the high the gentiles are compared to the donkey there's a quote or they're actually called next page 67 as i said before the spirit of the animal descends below meaning the animals walking on foreign looking onto the earth why is the posture of the animal in such a way because the animal is associated with the earth and the jew and the human and the jews specifically are associated with the heaven that ever says if you compare the human life force in its own independence as a human not a jew in comparison and the word the erica is in in bold in comparison and that's why a human doesn't have to give thanks now probably you're wondering what does that mean a human doesn't have to give thanks for being alive of course they have to give thanks we have thanksgiving right now the idea means there's no obligation daily to say maidani and this is a very very important nakuda it doesn't mean that you should be rude and arrogant and not recognize the creator that makes you of course but in the physical makeup of the human being nature is such i'm sorry god made you would be it's like let me ask you for breathing do you have if god wants us to be alive he makes us breathe so why do i have to give him thanks what's the thanks about you want me alive make me breathe you don't want me alive you don't create me what am i thanking you for that's why a human being does a human even even a human being which is not an animal still doesn't need to need to give thanks daily but this idea wait that's what i'm trying to tell you is being pleasant and being a mess we're not talking about being pleasant to mention talking about every morning saying a prayer that has a very specific message no anon should it's not one of the seven myths they know to do that but for a year it is why because what we're giving thanks for is the shama lee mode what's this in other words the jewish experience the jewish soul is radical it's not normal and this answers a lot of questions why as you can be one day you'll have the harry christophers or the in michigan and the next day a full belt sugar loving and kissing the castle and helping to tell you that how could you go from these two extremes the answer is they were always that way there was just a lot of dust when they uncovered it and came to realization they go back to their true self you don't have to recreate anything it's not a new creation it is the jew the shama shali but this concept is not a concept in humanity it transcends humanity so in other words what we're learning here and this is why it's the way hasidis illuminates the mode i need you see me what you said before would be the interpretation of your modani without sickness and according to that you know it does not the concept of modani applies to non-jews too what they're ever saying here is no this is not just hakora satellite like you said i'm glad you said that it's not just recognizing giving thanks this is something very profound i am in touch with my soul because that's what i am that's a kiddish that's a novelty and that's that's the modality of a jew and this insight is is an insight of siddhis as siddhis illuminates shot so technically 20 what was saying now like he says it here in the text if not for this interpretation in a sense we wouldn't be obligated to say by nadif all we are is another human being you don't have to say just like most human beings don't say mo donnie why do we just have to say my daddy what where what what like yoni said well they don't recognize they should give thanks the answer is because there's nothing special about it you created me make me alive oh you mean there's something different about me which is the shama yehudi oh that for that i i recognize that hashem you've given me on the shoulder you understand what did you want to say [Music] until he wasn't yes [Music] yes yes and it's brought down in the arizona that's the intention you're supposed to have when you say the broker your son says clearly what's the intention that hashem at night didn't switch my soul from having a jewish soul to having a non-jew or soul so we say abraham that's for the ariza i believe but that's not what we're talking about here they were talking about the profound understanding of what it is that a jew is which is what we are nishmasi and for that we say maidan let's continue this is like along the lines this is a rhetorical remark along the lines of what you only asked although physical flesh life is an important existence not only specifically of the human condition the human species so if so what's the specialty of the jew i call you but they'll cut him off they'll sever him from his father the king and they'll put him into a barn a stall with animals not he will despise his life okay okay you do i see and i've told you there's some one of the other theorem has known the story look at the story inside with your own eyes look at it from the city of leipzig not the life of a farmer but it means like a poor abor a peasant according they have eyes but they don't see us not in the ham they have the ears when the ishma they don't hear themselves they don't see those night land they have ears and this is the way that you conceal is translating it to the outer edge they don't see godliness not that they don't see them blind they're open but they don't see the godliness women can't get lucky they don't hear covenants in hebrew because they don't see and hear god this is the question i asked you it's asked right here by the level seemingly this is puzzling she knows they matter the order when one gives a present to a person of a fraction of the day specifically if it gives them gives him a very large nice presence it's so inappropriate to say i don't want this. i'll only accept the president on the condition that the gift should be very great in other words what's the greatness that it don't it don't be the the years of a bore in a peasant it's like saying hey you got me a nice face it's not enough i want a mercedes and a base a car whatever i want a nice house i want it's not acceptable what you're giving me but hey i gave you a i gave you something that's so expensive and so nice sorry that's for the peasants and the boars for me i'm a special guy for me you got to give a big nice present that's arrogant um now listen to the devil's logic since the concept of long life living for many years who govern god will be using is very great right we all say ah right six fifty sixty seventy i would say alibi could live to eighty ninety a hundred and be healthy that would be enough um we learned earlier that the concept when you have real life it includes all pleasures in all satisfactions in other words if you're plugged in with life then all the shabbat are included so therefore the question is conditions upon the blessing of the altar that begins says that the explanation [Music] give me an additional blessing to just saying live a long life rather than that the long life here and see you shall you make higher shall be it should be life not death it was it yiddish it resonated by them you could see you actually the postures as a simple fact chicago next page 69 should call chicago no what um wow there's a mistake here oh my gosh on my page 69 you should okay what you're saying makes sense chico macias go ahead continue and this is what he meant with the words before that go ahead read read please okay so days and years that you don't see and hear godliness it wasn't valuable at all it wasn't it isn't a big deal it isn't a deal i don't want it clown at all a curse so he's saying to the altar never you're cursing me don't curse me don't invite me to give me a blessing when you're cursing me that's how that's how much living as a jew resonated with him there's no other way there's no other way next paragraph the head is there it ever says where did this feeling come from because rabbi yakuza they have an independence the engineering custom ahead and the godliness within those four levels who command governance an adjunct [Music] yes to a type of life that can tolerate not hearing seeing god conversely when one has shining and living that has one and one theme only being united with the essence of losses there's nothing else outside except outside of living with god almighty and this is what the seal that nicosia lived so we conclude this paragraph with a very very important nakuda and that is that this idea of moida ani [Music] as civics illuminates shot is not just as young he said occurs attorneys no of course [Music] a human being says thank you but to say thank you because you're living the dream the dream of being a jew which we are we are jewish we have in the sharma that's the expression of maidani so my daddy isn't just another thank thanks i'm giving you understand and this ask anyone i don't care from the biggest yeshivas it's a fidish it's a big fidish to say that this is the real meaning of maidani and the letter says that you see it in the words he gave me the soul it doesn't say that must see my soul he returned within me my soul what's in my soul the yehudi you take this idea you can make bali chuva left and right hotcakes i'm serious you wake up i eat and we have to first wake up [Music] yeah you wake wake first we have to wake ourselves up and realize what's going on over here it's your hoodie it's yukida it's not just you know i'm a nice guy you know that that's one of the reasons why there are the issues because a nice guy someone says you're not a nice guy and someone says there are other people nice guys it's like i just oh they had a gem video of rabbituvia bolton from krakabad rabbi two of you tell them from long island the five towns chabad representative and they speak about when they became balchus in and and toby bolton says they went into the remember that time the rapper still was getting this and he said to the rebber you know i've read a lot of books and there's christianity and there's buddhism and there's all kinds of philosophies what's special about being a jew that ever told them listen now learn to tell you to go learning yeshiva torah so he says okay he says to the rebel i'll go learn turning so i could refute those things whatever says no that's not your job your job is to learn to tell you that you don't you don't worry about refuting let it take it'll take care of itself your idea is just to learn and get to know what it means to be a youth nishmasi now thinking about it it's a very important uh video because it shows the the the the mindset of bali trevor you know 60s 70s in that era and uh in fact we had a heated discussion issue because you know the new guys the young guys say oh there's somebody but about human today i said oh really i said you compared the belchuva movement of the 60s and 70s and all these places where that flame was played and then you did the ghost in the diaspora yeshiva and and and chappelle's and that whole you know that whole movement what do you got today i said three things you got today money money and again money i was being polite there's two other things that people people want today but i didn't want to blow their their antennas in the shoes i can tell them the same the point is the same it's about the summer it's about the summer so during the 16th what the six day war and the hippie counterculture culture revolution it was more in the air people were searching they were going all over okay true so it was a period and those that got in and and and those that you know now it's harder but when you get to this idea of nishama and you and and and they and a person realizes that it's about the nes it's just a matter of time to to jump in and and again as hilo said jokingly but it's true it begins with ourselves first this has to resonate with ourselves so next time you get a birthday present and your kids make you a birthday remember to emphasize and to share with them it's very nice to live another year in bar hashem that i'm able to you know celebrate but we need to make it rookney's spiritual you know that that's that's the everlasting impact and importance of a birthday i told you my father is in the 50s was a yid raphael kesselman he was from russia it was a virtue and a great psychologist mashabia he made a lot a lot of wake up and find their themselves so he made one there was a fabrega once it was my father's birthday so he sat in front of all the buffalo with my father sitting next to him he called him by his first name and he had a he had he had a loving relationship with his booker and he like embraced them and he so he said if your birthday is about your backside i'm saying it clean if if your backside becomes bigger each year because you ate more and that's what your birthday's about uh we're not gonna fa break we have nothing to celebrate you know so uh it's it's it's it's the symbolism the the the you know the offer the back side if your birthday is about more casualties and more but her person's back you know birthday is about more daviding and more learning and more seductive and more and more being refined you know there was a media that was difficult a certain character trait that was difficult and and finally getting to a handle on it whether it be anger whether it be guyva whether it be taiva whatever then you know heather we'll see everyone tomorrow hopefully in brooklyn back to my old spot and zygozo thank you have a great day shalom bye yeah take care
