Hey Teves bring the Chanuka light through Seforim & Jewish Torah books - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

shom good of shabas it'sa the last day of Kaneka and Sunday is he Tavis hey Tavis is the day when from man high the court approved the longings of the previous Reb belongs to the larger community and more importantly that the rebba our rebba establishes kabad policy and no one else does and this idea is important even today because as the Reb himself said the previous Reb is more live now this was in 1987 I believe then before every day he becomes more alive and the same is true with how the way that Reb wanted the ha Tavis to be celebrated was through SW through Jewish books and writings to write them to buy them um to learn them most importantly all centering around and Jewish books so on a personal note for those that don't know I happen to be a writer I've written quite a bit and I encourage you to take a look at some of my books in 1985 the Reba gave me direction of what I should write or what I shouldn't write in a general way but as is the style of a you have to use your own cup you have to use your own SE your own brains and intellect how to implement that this was uh regarding something that I did when I was in Marin County on schas in California 1985 and um I had printed 5,000 Flyers to distribute to the new community I came to to introduce our work the Reb's work kabad laich and the rebba felt that the way the title which I took from another schah I basically copied the same flyer and just put my face there instead of the other kab's face and theba said that it was contradictory the message of I am not a reformed Jew I am not a conservative Jew I'm not an orthodox Jew I am kabad and aabad believes that a Jew is a Jew and that's what that's what at the center of our philosophy the felt that that that title which he said is self-contradictory you're trying to tell everyone kabad is every Jew and there's no it's unconditional and yet you say there's I'm not this I'm not this I'm not this meaning there is this this this there reformed conservative and Orthodoxy and the Reba said that gives into the labels the concept of labels I took the 5,000 then I threw them in the garbage I never sent it out and there's a lot of you know meaning to this I'm just saying it quickly but writing is an important step in developing a relationship reading is an important step in enhancing the relationship and ultimately believing and walking away with what you read creates within a person a system of life so I wanted just for a few moments talk a little bit about this and how it's relevant TOA and to so khaka is the eth day of Kaneka Kaneka is all about illumination light the world has was lit up in the last eight days all over all over not just by kabad by yeen all over there such an outpouring of light and Illumination in particular this year with the situation is the war and everything else that that reminds us of and brings to the table the light and illumination that we've seen has never been seen before and that's galic that's wonderful hey T Sunday is about re about the re being a re in full control of kabad and a direct link to the balatan start the kabad movement over 200 years ago that's also light and you know why that's light not only and not just because when I have a problem and an issue and I have a doubt I go to a rebba I go to our rebba no that's true but it's much deeper it's the relationship to Divinity to Godliness the Reb is a god of a man of God the rebba is a divine inspiration as as in a body okay I am not proposing that God forbid that re is God not going in that direction what I'm talking about is that there's a m there is a a leader who's among us who gives us clear Direction in every aspect of life the is a a pointer he points to you and he says to you you ra do this or go here this is something that your soul will benefit from do you have a choice to to not listen absolutely everyone has free will free choice thata wants the Jew to internalize through their mind and heart the advice and come to it on their own terms and he said this numerous times to all kinds of people incling Rabbi steinels I heard from the nephew of RAB steinel who was told by RAB steinel after that he came out of Yas with the rebba the rebba wanted something from him so he said rebba I I'll do it but it was clear to the rebba that he didn't really agree with the rebba so the rebba said to him I don't want you to do it and to write it because I told you to do so I want you to come to a point where you understand that this is the right thing to do and if you don't then don't say it don't write it because that's fake when we learn and we internalize and we think it helps us come to that point again not rebber worship we're not about rebber worship that's the that's the reason one of the reasons why some people have a problem with and Reb is because they see it as rebba worship this is not about rebba worship this is about God worship this is about serving the abish and finding individuals in your life that live and are the embodiment of what God wants that's what hate Tavis is about as expressed through through the of the T through writings based on the T and that's the way you make life and that's the way you make eternal light that the let eight days of of Kaneka the light of Kaneka the the tremendous inspiration and and and illumination will go now into the winter we're entering the winter we're entering another domain in which it's cold it's fridy it's uncomfortable we take the light of the man the inspiration especially on and we transfer right into heis which is associated with sikim and it's Associated Vis VM books Jewish books get your family to read more read at the table the shabas table bar hasem in all communities there's been a tremendous proliferation of more and more Jewish writings in many languages so therefore this is a day to contemplate I refer to hate Tavis and not just to contemplate but to actually go out and this is what theba wanted those that want to know what theba wanted to buy Sim and Jewish books or to and or to donate more books to the to the library to a Jewish library and to have more in your house and to open theim to open the books and to read them and to learn them and to discuss them and to debate and to argue and to fabrin with them to make the books living a living not just Legacy but an actual living embodiment of may help each and and every one of us to do so and again I encourage you to go to my website it's Rabbi doin DFI n.com to take a look at the many books I've written over the years and to purchase a book or two or more and we have a very special sale 50 to 70% on many of the books so those that haven't been able to buy any of my books or most of my books until now because of the price um there's a great sale and I
