Hechaltzu chptr 32- Truth: Can be found in Pure Torah study without strings attached- RC Dalfin

So we're learning the final chapter of this mimer chapter 32 and with this we'll finish this mimer and the next discourse we're learning is basilani of the rebby not of the previous rebi of 1951. You can get it online. It's available online or in book form. Please get yourself that text or that or that or online and follow along. Busy Lagani B A Si Lagani L E G A N I from the labba from the year 1951. But now Moshe, we're going to finish this mimer. And here the Reb, the Rashab, the fifth Kabad Rebba talks about the specialty of Torah learning. And he says just as a brief introduction, Torah learning introduces us to truth. Truth is not an easy accomplishment because the world we live in and the influences on us many times leads us to not giving the full truth etc. The the the the specialty of the Torah is Torah's truth. So by learning the truth, you live with the truth. And when you live with the truth, you bring down the true God, the the essence of God. Let's look inside chapter 32. Welcome. Chapter 32, last chapter. And this is what we say in in Ashray. God is close to all those who call upon him in truth. saying calling to the very essence of God's what we call delight and playfulness. How do you call God? How do you reach the essence of God the delights? It is through the truth of this means to study and for a moment I want to what does it mean to learn to not to be a rabbi not to not not to learn how to be a sofur not to not to be uh a teacher those are all important things and acceptable things but that's not lashma means for the sake of Torah Hashem gave us a that's it. Everything's there. He says study it. The idea of the result of Torah is already not the purity of Torah. Do you hear that? Very, very important. So when we talk about reaching the truth, the truth comes from just studying the Tyra. Whether it'll give you a degree, it won't give you a degree. Whether it'll make you feel good or it won't make you feel good. You're in the zone. The zone is tyra. But I don't feel the ambiance of the zone. Who cares? Who cares? God says learn. And if you learn, you're in. That's the truth. And this points to a very important point. When we do something and we have much to do and we don't feel it, right? So or we don't feel that we can accomplish it, we give up. That that means that you're learning to begin with is not learning the truth. It's not pure. It has a a condition to it. The story that I'll share is when I was studying with a a doctor he's already gone to the Emis very fine person and we were learning Tanya from the beginning and we we went through from chapter 1 through chapter 12 and after chapter 12 he didn't come anymore so I asked him why did you and he was a good he was a friend and he was supporter said why why did you stop why' you stop coming we will and it was really it was good learning he says, "I realized I'll never be a baani." The the the the author whose yard site was yesterday, by the way, the alterb's yard site teaches us that the ultimate is to be the average man who c who doesn't who who doesn't do anything that's wrong and doesn't speak anything that's improper and and pushes away all thoughts that consciousness. He says, "I understand that, but I'll never be that type of person." And by the way, he was a person who didn't speak much. He didn't gossip. He was more of a loner, you know, and and he was really a very fine person, head of a department. But he realized that the the the the peak that the alterba speaks about being a bane, he's not going to reach. So he said, "Why should I study this? Why should I study something that I can never attain?" Now there's truth to what he says but it's wrong. It's wrong at the end because you don't study Tyra you don't study Tanya so that you should be a ban. If you study properly and you take it the right way you either will or you won't. But not that to begin with. It's like I I I want to be a Hill is a social worker. So you go to you go to Cornell you go here in other words you have a condition and you have to go to this university or that university which is fine but that means there's an agenda pure is agendaless and that is why it's not it's not uh the average and the norm to study Torah you find me in other WORDS LET'S SEE A COLD LITTLE guy who studies. He's many of them study cuz they need they need funding. They need to to fund their family. They like Tyra, but they there's a condition. It's called making bread and butter for your family, which is acceptable, but that's not there was a big riso hen. His daughter is rabbiten henin in Jerusalem I believe whose son and husband husband and son I don't know if she they were murdered remember in Ephraat I think I think they were the henkins I think it was braat or somewhere >> it was son and daughter-in-law >> son and daughter-in-law okay so the za rabbi of was was a go was from from from Lithuania. He came over I think in the 1920s and he made an organization or he continued an organization called Ezra Torah helping the Torah help and what was the the fun the fundament the foundation of this organization to collect money and give money to people who sit and study Torah WHO WOULDN'T ORDINARILY ASK for a salary. That was that was the the uh the bonus operande of this organization Ezra Torah. Then later, you know, with years it changed. And I know someone who found records from the 20s and 30s of every and and he sent the money from America to Russia to Israel to Israel and they kept a record of every RV that got money. And very interesting this person told me that it says on the list by one PERSON THAT HE RETURNED THE MONEY WHEN HE CAME TO AMERICA that he was sent the money from Ezra Tyra in in America and that was Rabbi Mosha Feinstein. The only one on the list that it says that when he came to America he sent back the money to his for what they gave him while he was in Russia was a Mosha. It's a very very uh I it's a very important thing to know. If I didn't know this at the time when I wrote my book on the Reb Rabos because I would have put it in. It's such a it just shows what kind of Jew he was. Anyway, so I'm pointing out to you that Tyra learning is is is is important but most Tyra learning is not okay and let and and don't be convinced it is because it's not. The says here that if you want to reach God is close to all those that call him with emra the meaning of MS here is Torah. SO THE SAYS WHAT TYPE of Torah we talking about to for the sake of Torah without any strings attached. Okay, is that clear? That's how you have truth. Let's continue means for the sake of next page. It's to draw down the infinite God in the letters and words of this is the entire purpose of of of um the purpose of of of studying TA who shak And that's by learning reading in the Tyra in the written and the oral say to say whoever reads Mark and studies which refers to not just the written law the five books of Misha but exab the written law, but also the oral Torah, the Talmud, the Jewish law, musala. Next page. When one sits and learn, what what we're doing now is we're learning. Hashem, look what it says. Hashem is learning opposite us. Meaning there's a right now God is learning because we're learning. Now the has it says God is your shade has a beautiful touch that a shade how is a shade created when you walk you create shade. You walk this way you create one shade. You walk this way it's further closer. So God is your shade. >> What does it mean? God is your shade. That when you learn, it's like a shade WHICH IS CREATED BY YOU. SO WHEN WE LEARN, WE CREATE GOD. GOD learning to that's the shade. That's the idea. It's written. The voice is the voice of Jacob. This is the the voice the sound of right with Jacob and Asov was blind and he has his two kids in front of him. So he he has you know he said he had he says THIS THE VOICE THE SOUND IS Yakov but the hands of Yaf the hands of Isa who was a hunter and a killer. So specifically Jacob the Jew represents the voice of he says because in this sound that comes through the study the words of we draw down God's infinity into superernal wisdom. The the heavenly the sound of God who's learning opposite the person while the person's learning as well. It's not that Hashem now is learning. We're learning and we're learning ABOUT THIS CONCEPT. GOD IS LEARNING THE SAME IDEA NOW. WOW. HASHEM, you're learning THE SAME IDEA. EXPLAIN it to me better. But the point is our learning now this particular mime this particular page. Right? WE CAUSE HASHEM AT THIS MOMENT TO LEARN THE SAME TOPIC. THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS HERE. So when you learn whatever that is, Hashem is studying that metaphorically speaking of course next page. This is the meaning. It's the investment of the infinite Hashem because the tra in the sound of just as the was playfulness and delightful. This is the meaning that we actually call with tr the truth of tyra. So when we study THE TAR WITHOUT ANY agenda just because it's Hashem's holy TA that's when you're reaching and touching the truth. The truth h has no agendas. If it has an agenda it's not 100% true. It doesn't mean BY THE WAY IT'S BAD. If you remember in chapter 13 of Tanya there's m there's the the border of truth the second level there's em truth and then there's mislam the truth of truth so there are gradations in truth but the ultimate is the truth of truth >> that that's why it says to no >> yeah but >> that the whole reason for that >> yes yes if If you if you if you define Torah like you you say yi to refer to this level. Absolutely. When one year I was in May over there um simra and I walked into the mir yeshiva. I wanted to see how they dance on simtora. My family was with me. A few of the kids, my wife's a very small crowd because everyone's home or in America or in Canada, in Australia, you know, and the locals go home. But the Rashiva Rainko at that time, he had a bad case of Parkinson's. He already passed on, right? Was a very small group, 20 people dancing around and they were singing the song, you know, N and I think that song and it was very very uh what's the word? Docile. It was very like quiet. I thought it I I thought I want to come in and see 500 people dancing. It was Fahrenheit. It was, you know, COMPARED TO AIDIC or it was night and day. But I'm not going to go there right now. But I remember that you sing that song, the Torah of Hashem is complete and it says there MS you call to MS. So the words are in the song and in the in in the verses. The question is what do we mean by that? When you learn you you you you become aware that not not always the word that you see or hear in the regular community is what means and it doesn't mean it's not true. It's just a different angle. Okay. So that's why I'm ambivalent to say to you that when you say Torah, everyone's thinking this level of I I would venture to say absolutely not. That's not what they're thinking. They're thinking that if you learn in Yeshiva, YOU'LL BECOME A GREAT THRASH SHIVA, a great rabbi. That's one of the things that they convince or try to convince their students. That's not what we're talking about. That's not Emma. It's not bad. It's important. But it's not this level of em that's an agenda. You're learning terror. To be a great rabbi, could be a great rasha. Not talking about that. I'M LEARNING TERRA BECAUSE IT'S the right thing to do. Whether I will gain or I won't gain. I WILL BECOME FAMOUS OR NOT FAMOUS makes no difference. I hope you understand that. So therefore, you know, you're right that the when we say Torah, we it should we should think of this idea that he explains it here. But I I would venture to say uh MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T think it that way. They think of a Torah that is associated with a condition, string attached. What am I going to get from Torah? There was once Go ahead. >> Okay. Go ahead. >> No, I was going to ask is is that the reason why you that somebody that teaches an yeshiva or is a or that that it's not so to just take a salary because of that like meaning like it has Yeah, the Rambam very good point. Glad you brought that up. The Rambam writes about that. Yeah. There were yeeden that would refuse a salary that you 100%. But you know it's not forbidden but yeah yeah where I mean I just heard I told my wife I came back from Montreal. One of the things I heard someone came over to me that my he asked my father-in-law to come for brain. He came he paid his own way and the person came over to him and he said I want to reimburse you for your ticket and I want to pay a little bit for he would for you for for fabangi for coming he wouldn't he said to fabang absolutely not he didn't and he wouldn't even take money for the ticket the guy had to force him take money for the ticket I mean that's that's a Jew that's living with A HIGHER REALITY THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT it and again you know you could say that you know from he was it's only him and his wife when he was 75 80 years old. You know what I'm saying? You could find reasons but the the there are there is something to be said that since you mentioned that that Rambam but today practically you know everyone has expenses. It's it's so expensive to live and all that. So but if you really want to climb the ladder that yeah that is a level what you just mentioned you know the rebba when people gave him he never accepted gifts because the garra says the one who hates gifts will live longer. What do you mean taking something for free? You know, and and and and so what they would do, they would work around him. They would give it into the office to the merkas. A silver becker, a silver this, you know, but the concept of what what do you mean a gift? I And that's one of the reasons the Reb went to work in the 1940s. Trust me, he could have been supported by the organization. It wasn't a wealthy organization. was actually in very deep trouble in the ' 40s, but still they didn't want to live off the community. What kind of business is this? Living off the community, you know? So, here we're talking about the ultimate. Let's continue. By the way, just to say, the person who made the offer to pay my father-in-law did the right thing. In other words, you don't YOU YOU DON'T BE THE HOLY ONE ON HIS SHOULDERS. YOU LET HIM DECIDE WHETHER he wants to take the fee or not. And I must say, I was just I was treated, you know, in Montreal like with such in in so many different ways. I never I never, you know, I travel and speak and and I and I said this publicly during the which is online now. You know, I was blown away with the, you know, that the way, you know, the way they treated me and they they had a driver. Okay, it's snowy and they don't want me to fall, so they held me. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, just it's up to, you know, for we have to offer, we have to provide whether the person takes it or not. That's their not oh you know like and I once had I was once in a plane the wife of a of a prominent kabad rabbi who's asked to speak and go around and he doesn't like doing it she says to me you know middle she says you know my husband comes off the plane he's tired they don't offer him normal food and they don't offer him a place to rest until he comes after the fabra and she was you know she was upset like you know but she you know he's not going to say anything she's not going to say anything but it's not right. So when we talk about the concept of learning of we're talking about ourselves to make the but when when it's relevant to someone else we don't make that for them. WE DON'T BECOME THEIR policeman and say, "Oh, you you're A YOU'RE AID. YOU WANT TO BE a banonyi. You're a godo. You don't need to eat much. You can sleep on, you know, on a on a regular seat and break your back, you know, but and I'll fly first class." I mean, you took yesterday happened to see for a second a clip of a rabbi with people singing around him in first on a private jet. I mean, what's what's going on is is really it's like over the top over the top, you know, like how many children >> the realm I I saw I saw what you're saying and it's really a forim specifically to see this. It's one thing of Jewish people, but to see this, it's a terrible solution. could be. I I I'm I'm just thinking about this idea of, you know, how much money you could give for tuition for saddaka for people who don't have and and just to to and that the rabbi cooperates. I I don't know what he's thinking. I I I really don't know what he's thinking, you know, and he's making himself what seems to me religious looking inside the garam or the sitter and everyone's is around him singing. I mean, it's like absurd, you know. Now, why do I say that? I I I don't want to get into that negativity. I I say that that that when you talk about emis it's like aid once said it is so difficult to be ems. It is difficult because people get caught up in sheer and bubble mises and lies in fashion in in in in in you know um what's the word I'm looking for? Uh flashiness and all that. >> Gashmas. >> Gosh. Yeah. BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S GASHMAS AND THERE'S GASHMAS. A PERSON NEEDS TO EAT. the person needs to to sleep, you know. I mean, I I I came there, I said, you know, put me up anywhere. I don't need a hotel. Just as long as I have a a normal room and and I could rest and I have a bathroom and and I can, you know, and what I have to I need a hotel like, you know, we have to know that that first of all, it's other people. it's person who's paying, you know, for your expenses and all that. It's it's it's mum and heck dish. It's coming from an organization. Now, understandably, what if they tell you we're going to put you up in a place that has, you know, uh dirt and and noise and this and you have to go and lecture. I lectured five times yesterday. I spoke five times on one day, Monday, you have to be rested. You have to be calm, you know. So, so the person hosting and arranging needs to be cases on that. So, I just want to bring out that. Let me just say a few things here. Let's continue. This means to learn through this calling. Hashem calls himself through the delightful essential playfulness of God. next page. And this surely makes peace in the heavenly world. We've been learning about this brings together the first two letters which is that they should be called two friends that don't separate themselves. canal. They shouldn't be separated through the extraction and the expansion, the concealment and re revelation, but rather go together. They should be measured based on the capacity of the worlds. This is the attribute to incorporate all opposites. with a proper um mixing blending that's when you have when everything comes together therefore I'll tell you next page through comes the joining and com and combining of concealment and revelation and the proper blending What does it mean to join and connect? It means there shouldn't be opposites. Both should illuminate constantly. two friends that don't separate and it constantly is drawn from concealment to revelation from the state of nothingness known as to the state of yesh which is the state of being and one leads to the other like a well that constantly is flowing from concealment to revelation. ultimate leading to a river and expansion next page. This is through the illumination of the which is called the scribe and the story in a way of shahit. This is the blending. This is the meaning that you call God with the em of we learned synopsis. Call God with truth. When to the essence of God with the truth of when you draw down the truth of God, there won't be opposites. two friends that don't separate the writes writes until this is all I got from my father to copy and release. So it seems like there was more but this is all what he what he gave. So it's interesting that he in the beginning of the mimer he asked the questions about Midian that Midian opposes the name of Yudke V. He explained that at great length and he spoke all about the idea of how sinusum how baseless hatred is the root of all problems and then he ends up with this idea of ems and he doesn't really connect the end to the to the to the beginning. So just a thought briefly and that is MS brings together everything and since Midian sought to bring divisiveness differences between between us between people and between God etc. So the way to counter that is through the MS of Torah. That's that's the way I see the connection. Is that one of the reasons why Midian and Moab are the two nations that are not allowed to join us? >> No, no. This is not talking about Moab. It's talking about Midya. And he doesn't he's not talking about >> Oh, but it's it's Moab and Midya. No. Oh, no. No. It's Ammon. Ammon. You're right. Right. Right. >> Right. Sorry. I mixed up. >> Okay. Tomorrow, what I want to do is actually fab about the alterba since we missed it. You know, I wasn't in Shir. And then Monday, please get yourself a hold of the Myimemer Bosilagani from the Reba 1951. It's online and it's also in this safer if you happen to have it. Lessons in my mim. There are five six myim of the Reb in in in a volume called lessons in my murm and it's a very if you can get that would be great but otherwise even online or you you can find the myabusani 1951. Yes, my >> Rabbi Delvin just a couple things in in the back of the book here there's it says a concluding manuscript and then there's some letters just it's a brief amount I be curious if if if we're are we going to learn that is it possible we can learn that >> where well well look let let me see where where is that where is that >> at the at the end at at the end of of >> at the end it says brotherless amongst a letter by the rebay that >> so you know in the volume that I have here it says concluding manuscript and it says the harmony between the V and the he of Hashem's name >> I don't have it sorry I don't think I >> maybe it's not in your volume I I have it I was going to ask the same question maybe you and I will have to look >> um how many pages is it and maybe you can send it to me. I don't know. I don't know. >> Not long. It's a few pages. Not Not too long. >> It's in Hebrew. >> It's It's the same It's the same uh >> the same form Hebrew English. >> So, you know what? If you could send make a copy, send me and then I'll look at it. I I I can't I can't I can't tell you right now. I have to look at I think I saw it once and I think it is it very esoteric. >> I think the answer is probably yes. Yeah. And that's why maybe we didn't include in this volume. >> It doesn't look very esoteric. Doesn't look like it has a cabalistic concept, but not like gam. >> Okay. Well, let let me see it. Let me see it and then I'll I'll talk we'll talk about it. Okay. See everyone tomorrow. Mr. Hashem Zaz. Bye-bye. Have a great day. Antib.
