NES we are in middle of chapter well
actually the beginning uh part of
chapter 42 mes and the AL
here started to explain to us that every
ye has a part ofu in him and that aspect
of M raenu makes it possible to have y
Inus knowledge in God understanding of
God
God is not a foreign entity
that's that's superimposed on a Jew but
rather the balat feels in chapter 42
that is very much part of our
DNA seemingly that's not the case so
says that is the case and that explains
the gamor what does God want of you a
little fear and Moshe has mosha has fear
and that we we all have a part of mha in
us that's where we're at now and this is
not going to be developed so what we're
going to do is we're going to read quite
a bit today and then today or on Monday
I have going to give you a general
explanation that'll be helpful so let's
go to uh NES it's about six seven lines
from the bottom after the period the
line begins with the
word so we're starting from the
words
even more so in every
[Music]
generation their descends Sparks from
the soul
of and invest
thems in the body and in the
soul of the wise men of the
generation
the leaders of the
congregation and and why do they get the
privilege of having this special aspect
of Sparks of Moshe entering them in
addition to them being regular Jews and
having the spark of
Moshe says
that they get an added infusion and he
says why
because it's their job to teach the
people knowledging
God to teach us the greatness of to
serve with a complete
heart and because this is their job from
on high they need an extra
infusion so those of us here who are
not and
we don't need this extra infusion of
another aspect or
another quantitative and qualitative
amount of mosha spark we have the simple
rudimentary spark of Moshe which is
adequate for our perception and
understanding of Das as AEM to know God
but who but but we need a teacher we
turn to these people the leaders the
the to to show us the D to teach us the
D so for that they get an extra amount
I'm going to talk all about this more
later let's
continue says that they teach us so so
when you speak about teaching you teach
knowledge you go to a a course you get
information
but it comes to the heart what can a
rabbi teach you about the
heart right what did the holy kuder say
where is God wherever you let him
in I can't tell you how to let God in
only you can say how you allow God into
your heart so this is the
Al's um Unwritten question over here
that he answers with the word
ke
he he's asking on himself I just told
you that the per the job of the is to
teach
you believe believe to serve him with a
with the heart no seemingly the heart is
your own own
own you take the information you you
process it and then you you you find a
way how to articulate it in a heart that
doesn't come from the rabbi that doesn't
come from the The Scholar the leader
says but no
wrong trueid of the heart is based on
Das it's a very important line here we
have plenty of people past present and
in the future who create
a not based on dasem but on their own
Das or
mishas or and this is I'm not even
talking about now in in the G world I'm
talking about in the Jewish
world says here sorry my friend for to
be proper it needs to be based on and
who teaches
you so then when you go about to process
the information then your will be the
right the service of the heart and you
won't go off on a on on on on a wrong
turn and and end up in as Nasha said in
the fields of Pennsylvania when there's
nothing going on there but of course
there is cuz he had to be there
obviously Hashem put him there to be M
to refine the Sparks but we mean to say
is that that the day is
hasem is what's necessary to guide the
heart that's what he
says he brings
the know your God your
father and serve him with a complete
heart so look at
the the conjunction
the you will serve him with a a complete
heart if you fulfill the first
thing who gives you
the and serve him with a a yearning
soul and so we find in the future will
come the verse says
quote will no longer teach his
friend
doem saying no God I will say to you
you'll say to me let's know God why
not brings
this that goes everyone will know God in
other words but what do we see from this
this p this this idea that it's all
based
on if you don't have the knowledge in
God then
your is
is is improper it's it it's doesn't it
it doesn't know for sure if this is the
D you must have
the which by the way is aner idea in
this would be the strong argument for
the the style
of which is to and if you have you go to
the
mid they have a different method they
begin with the the the the and they go
to them and then
they and they say it's adequate and
sometimes they they'll go to the to the
Das but inab this is very much it so
fall it falls in line this idea here
with the AL let's
continue what
is of is knowledge what
is says and he refers back to what he
taught us in chapter three of
T the primary aspect
of according to the
AL it's not knowledge
alone that one should know perceive the
greatness of God Turn the
Page based on
the the the the right the writings of
scribes meaning rabbis and
sages and from the mouth of
books many for Holy
books being a
bookworm having a library with every
book and knowing even by heart all the
books Etc and understanding him excuse
me isn't what we mean by by D
lers the primary idea
is to
delve deeply your mind
in the greatness into God Into The Godly
concept The Godly
idea sorry and to wedge your
thought Hashem like you put a a a spigot
in the ground you bang it in right a
nail into a board with Kaa you stick it
in you shove it
in right the say idea stick your mind
wedge your mind into
hasem with my
strength strength and mightiness of the
heart and your
brain to the point that it will will go
from just knowledge that is wedged in
God in understanding God it will become
here is the
word you will be tied you will be bound
with
hasem with what type of knot with a very
strong
knot just as when you wedge something
into something else it becomes bound and
connected to that physical item that you
put it
into that you could actually see it with
your physical
eye you can
see the Das the Das experience do you
hear what he says here it's no longer
just a Mind's
Eye idea Mind's
Eye I understand it's no longer it
leaves the realm of I understand and it
becomes the realm I see it
I see it with my eye what do you mean
you see it that's how clear it's to you
that's how how wedged it's in your mind
it becomes who you
are
my and therefore you delve deeply into
it with your mind as it's
known the word also is associated with
the word hisk
connection as it says
Ines when had relations with it says he
knew what do you mean he knew should say
andam lived
with it doesn't say Adam lived Witham
was intimate with it says he knew why
because the the the the process of
intimacy is expressed best through yod
because yod doesn't just mean an
intellectual experience it means real
life
experience so whether you you you
impregnate the the woman through the
Yoda experience or you you give her the
spiritual impregnation if she's
postmenopause or whatever the case right
as it's brought in the Holy yod
represents
reality right a baby comes out it's real
it came from Yoda so Yoda is not just a
an intellectual a deep intellectual
experience yod is reality that's the
point Al is making here and that's his
understanding and that's what he means
with with Das
so of
the model is not just knowledge it's a
wrong
interpretation that's why I constantly
use the the word that I've seen other
scholars in kabad use which is
concentration and focus
and the gar
says I think we discussed it in chapter
3 that if there is no you know
ejaculation you can't have an
offspring you must have that process
of in the physical Union between man and
woman to make to make an offspring
what's
kishu what is this concept the concept
of kishu is that it's it's Focus
so technically and I'm not the biologist
and you you know but
technically it would seemed to me based
on this gamar that if if in a union an
intimate intimacy if there isn't a
kishu there won't be any Offspring there
cannot be
Offspring even if the drop of Sean
enters the the the the woman's uh I
guess uh you know the woman
if there's no kishu there it doesn't
have the potency of giving off giving
birth anyway that that's for another
discussion again I'm just that I didn't
see clearly in in but I'm just putting
two and two together if I'm wrong I'm
wrong but that's what it seems anyway
going back to the
text
this and
this to bind one's mind to
every single Jew has
potential by nourishing from the soul
of since the soul invested itself in the
body one needs tremendous
effort and mighty
effort doubled and redoubled to
accomplish this so the fact
is that we have it says every Jew has
this power of D
but it takes a lot of effort to reveal
it and work this does not come by
osmosis it doesn't come by pedigree it
doesn't come
by and it doesn't come by sitting by
your Reb's feet and learning from him
which is
wonderful so he gives you the D but you
we need to take it and processes in a
way of H that's what it says here and
that again is very much the
inad which is different than the in in
other not saying all but other cic
movements there's no free rides
here in kabad a Reb was a
pointer and the our Reb said this in the
firstat it's upcoming the yard site 1951
January 59 51 when they n the to become
to take their leadership and he finally
agreed so in middle of the m and by the
way you can hear it online he says in
Yiddish he says we will help
but if you guys think that we're going
to do it for you you're making a big
mistake that was the what we call a
marketing the tagline that gave forab
not just for himself forab and he said
this is
the so yes you can come for a and you
can come for an and you could write
right and I'll bring it to the oil and
everything else and give to but you have
to do it yourself
the through Thea will not only live
himself he will enliven you so when you
go to a sadic and you look at thead and
you learn from thead and you give s and
thead and you go to have private counsel
from the sadic even if you do not exert
yourself to to to to through a to to
implement all of that the of the B of of
is it will be helpful and the said once
I
think thousands of of the
Holy it Tak
help it's not you know there's a lot of
fools out there and and the fools say oh
if you don't do it the kabad way that
means theas way doesn't have a a a
result that is foolishness beyond words
it's coming from people who are foolish
and and
uneducated and the said it by many times
but once in particular he said thousands
of of
the were
changed but the question is what part of
them was changed and how they were
changed and the answer
is through the and the faith in
the that's the that's theas way the
kabad way is you got to do it
yourself and and and if you understand
this overall difference a lot of things
fall into place that you read about over
the 200e history ofab and other this
this very much falls into place and it's
not a contradiction it's both holy ways
different ways and everyone needs to
decide what path they want to choose for
their a
hasem and this also rebut this
today's um you know happy gol lucky
Miracle Reby
worship totally not kabad completely not
kabad it's a
fallacy I was sitting with KH
who who is greater than that person as
the Paradigm of the movement and what
kabad represents one shabas Friday night
I I was sitting next to him in someone's
home he was here for shabas and he said
you know people today want to hear
Miracle stories of the rebbi miracle
stories he says that's not me you can
all go
home he says that's not me you know and
what did he do he shared a story from
the that the previous rebba wrote with
the alter I don't recall the story now
which has a very um very
rich uh explanation behind it and so in
other words it has a miracle part to it
but it comes from the intellectual
process that was Kad all the generations
and the saying in kabad was that there
are Miracles rolling under the
table but they're under the
table velv they're under the table they
weren't on top of the table so so for
example I told you a few weeks ago about
the Holy ribba that was you know P lived
in America after it came from chitz
there was open Miracles by this Reb by
this person open open Miracles you know
or the they say the bells are rebba the
old bbba not today's Bel rebba maybe he
also does Miracles I don't know but his
his um
uncle Ro who lived in in in in in in in
Tel Aviv onam I think 61 aam right in
the heart of all the mishas I've been
there many times I recorded it my father
was there my grandfather was
there right so he was known as a Mal
whatever he said from his mouth was
fulfilled I'll give you just a story for
a minute and then we got to go back to
the text I just heard this the other day
from a vision because I told the I told
the vision he's probably 80 years old he
D's on the same table in the morning
with me so I said to him you want to
hear a difference between the bin and
theit he was the
the father of the last two brothers that
already passed on one in man and one in
B the father
was hugger of
vision so my grandfather was from
Romania and he was a visionit but he had
no beard maybe maybe in his youth he had
a beard but you know most of his life he
didn't have a beard so and he went to to
the Tish sometimes cuz he lived
on 55 five which is right next to the
ocean not far where my daughter and
son-in-law have their shoe it's it's
right there you know in the disl area
from there to walk to to is 15 minutes
20 minutes it's not a long walk so he
would go Friday nights you know winter
Friday nights for Tish but my father you
know but we asked did you ever see the
Reba personally oneon-one like they
don't call it Yas but you know so he
says I was
afraid ask why you afraid he says cuz I
knew I I didn't have a beard at that
time most of my life and I wasn't
planning on growing a beard he grew a
beard towards the end of his life like
many people they decide at the end of
the life you know to end their life with
the beard but anyway why wait do it now
but anyway so so he he he um and he said
that if he went into the bell of Reba
and the bells of rebba just hinted to
him by saying one or two
words that it would be proper for you to
grow a beard or something about a beard
and he said I knew I wouldn't do it he
says the next day I would drop
dead he said I'm convinced the next day
I didn't listen to the rebba my life is
over conversely he said he had private
discussions with
theit why because when he came into you
he gave went like this on your clean
shaven face oh you're such a darling
you're so nice
he so
special so he he said he wasn't afraid
he knew that what comes out of his mouth
you know he's not going to
say so so this so This Bells a this is a
story to introduce the next story this I
heard this week from this Vision he
lived in he lives here in America now so
he said to me you know the
SA
right but
it's and didn't really weren't really ma
it they didn't accept it in fact they
probably had some ESS okay some
complaints so one day somehow the B Reb
gab told the um the Bel Reb that there's
a in our BAS M he just mentioned amongst
you know the rabbi asked him which are
there in the in the and he said this
this so he said them do me a favor take
the out of the sh and there was down
stairs nearby there was a garish table
and bring it to the garish
table and he did
that that's the type of re he was so
this is very like kind of miraculous in
other words to to him having a is
dangerous that that that's the implic of
the
story it's not just you know one second
and it's not dangerous
for no I I I no because the the gar you
know are more
accepting so he says in their Sho you
know their Reba and their sh accepts
that so it's F if they want to have it
that's fine but in my sh I urge you to
take it out now now I'm bringing out in
the that the whole style the whole style
this is a style you
understand it's not like saying hey we
had Aristotle's books or a Christian
writer's books and it's a question of
Tuma it's a question of Christianity
it's a question of we're not talking
about that talk about a kosher safer
that was WR written by a a God He
happens not to be your sh whatever the
case and you tell him take the book out
right and and and it's also not like
Rabbi salv for example sometimes he
would come into a house he would look in
the bookshelf and if he saw a safer that
he thought was narish kite nonsense he
would say like why do you have the
stupidity there I mean he was very sharp
like I'm not talking about either that
that's an emotional you know what I'm
saying he's not telling you it's
dangerous to have that book there but
this this this this beler is telling you
telling hisid that in his Bas of medish
again he didn't use those words I didn't
hear those words dangerous but he said
take it out and the implication being
like like my my grandfather if you put
if you don't put the beard on I I I
mentioned you to put the beard you're
you're you're going into dangerous
territory that's
KAG that's KAG it's not
kabad it's a very K and and trust me the
belb was a Malik they say whatever came
out was m but it's a different style
it's a different style na it's a very
different style
Na and frankly it fits many people CU
people don't want to work
much people don't want to exert
themselves much especially with the
mind you know I I think about the way
when I was younger and I learned the
piece of with
tus and I we used to say bre the cup in
English it doesn't broke the head it
meanings
M Wasing for hours to understand you
know I would learn today the way I
learned then you know what I'm
saying and when you talk
about Concepts in God how he created the
world why he created with what did he
create who did he create and I mean it
gets even more
intense and that's enough and and and
the purpose of which is to be a mench to
have a good maid a better maid so this
is all part of the kabad system
of and that's a different that's what
was saying you want to hear Miracle
stories you know today's today's kiks
many of them tell you Miracle stories so
you know I've heard about some of your
speakers in bemes without saying names
because you know who they are those who
attended many of them just tell you
miracal stories okay and and and and
frankly a lot of people need that today
I'm I'm not poing it but I need you to
know and they know too they know too but
they because the people today are either
not you know real kabad niik or really
not interested in kabad or don't have
the capacity therefore they they they
feel that telling you the miracle
stories is more
influential but when when when we when
one learns Tanya or been learning for
years Tanya and then as we continue
learning it's a whole different game
it's it's a game changer it's not about
you know Miracle stories but like I said
what that that's why they said inab is
the Miracles are rolling under the table
of course there are Miracles there great
Miracles but it's an approach that's
under the table and uh I think we need
to to understand this and this also
gives an explanation of the difference
between kabar and breast with this idea
you can understand you can understand
many ideas people say What's the
difference kabar and breast just like I
told you last week someone asked me this
is one of the explanations that makes
the a major difference it's not an
ancillary difference and it has nothing
to do
with are they alive not alive and all
that stuff no we're talking
about the forms
the what is the of and what is the of
bre two different
sheas I hope you enjoyed the we will
continue mem Monday re yes yes re one
thing I'm I'm gonna going to post it on
the group there's
