learning chapter
38 and we are on
page we're on page n Alf in the Hebrew
the left
side
and we're up
to we're up to the the uh where there's
the the footnote but uh the parallel
line to
it
so said here that the Goof and the the
soul and the body have their own amount
of
Illumination and it's two two there's
two aspects to the inspiration of the
soul and two aspects to inspiration of
the body so now says the same thing is
inav and in
in the F intent of mitz
the and in the action let's see how it
says it inside and then we'll discuss
it these two are divided as well into
four
levels
because an actual Mitzvah we call that
the Goof Mitzvah the body of the mitzvah
they in the very
essence they're two
levels one is the actual doing of the
Mitzvah and number
two a a mitvah that's dependent upon
speech and
thought the study of which is with your
mouth
all other blessings so what do we see we
see that we're talking here
about an actual Mitzvah and this actual
Mitzvah has
two parts to it one is putting on your
thin and which is M you could think
about and know all the and meditate on
the greatness of and learn all the cut
ball on if you don't put on filling you
haven't done the
Mitzvah then the is mitzvas which if you
if you learn tighter you hear this if
you learn Tighter and you don't
articulate it with a mouth you haven't
fulfilled the Mitzvah of learning T when
it
says you shall speak in them in the it
literally means what it says so I always
emphasize it's important that when you
learn whether it's your whether it's
Kish Rashi
whatever it is you need to say the words
out with your mouth if you want to
fulfill the Mitzvah of learning
T So to in so to in Bening and so to
with
all so there's two aspects to the act of
a Mitzvah so to says let's continue
inside we have two within ideas Within
the intent of a mitvah one
is to attach yourself
to which this is the analogous to the
soul to a
body which is divided into two
levels just like the two
levels which is the physical body what
are we talking
about we have an animal aai a living a
living
organism and then we have um we have a
speaking organism a man so we have a
difference between a human being and an
animal but that's that's two now Within
These two there is another two sub
subsets what is that what type of
Illumination does the does the animal
get what type of mination does the human
get someone who his mind is nice meaning
well to to know God like y used the word
meditation to look he uses the
word to
meditate and to bear fruit from this
meditation a superal awe reverence in
your mind in other words you're so
you're so AED by this person that in
your head in your cup in your in MO you
have that a and number and
well also you develop a love
for the in the right V ventricle sh of
your heart where the blood is and all
that blood comes to the young
because your soul thirst for
God to to
him through the Fulfillment
of which is the illumination of God on
your
soul to to attach to cleave to hem right
so what he's saying is that within
kavana you also have two
aspects the kav and with this kavana of
cleaving to God Made You Learn why do
you learn not just to know
sh not to just da why you learning
because everyone is learning on on l r
everyone's learning da and it you know
when you're going to come to SCH and rub
shoulders and and and and drink Scotch
after daving and is going to say are you
learning and you you be embarrassed say
no I'm not
learning that's why you
learning learn but okay but that's
notus that's notus you're learning for
an alterior motive the same is with the
Rabin it I told you my my father-in and
others this is before the reab made a
campaign every student get didn't want
it was it was consider who am I to be a
r even though I'm not a practicing R but
they'll call me Rabbi me calling me
Rabbi you got to be kidding
the joke was in 770 the Reb sent out one
of his first sh to Italy to Milan Italy
Rabbi GIC right so the joke in 770 was
my father was around and others were
around the joke was that his name was
gash menle gel's became a it's like he
he was a you know he used to ding for
hours and brain and this and all of a
sudden the says you go in a place at the
Bak of in mil
another Rabbi per who left to Australia
and they need a rabbi I'm sending you to
be the the new Rabbi there
me it's like in in in the in in the
mindset of of of theab it was the
furthest thing for them I can tell you a
lot of stories maybe another time how
this was a truism throughout the 200
years you know people who were really
buy as and and knew and knew C
but you wouldn't know it from the
outside literally you wouldn't know it
by the way there were such Jews also
over there you know the and this and
that I was told by people there were
people who were for example fixing
glasses GL GL glazers or a glass of
fixing glasses and I was told that they
he knew this person he knew all of Shas
you would come in you would see him in
able you would think he's came out of
the Bowery ripped clothes you know not
too clean and and and you know and the
man was and he wouldn't speak you didn't
know so the idea ofus the idea ofus is
the essential element whether your
learning is connecting with the right
kav and if not it's it's you know it's
learning if you say out the words but
it's
it's it's superficial now is it better
than you know playing golf and playing
cards and and surfing the net and
wasting your time absolutely definitely
definitely yes yes
H just want to say um sh has a piece in
this week's para talking about how we
learn our
emotions uh in
AEM we learn them from the Expressions
that the Torah uses for the desire that
um Cur had for Dena including this term
Deus
it's introduced in the Torah there so ah
very good so in other words from that
from that negative vus we learn positive
vacus is that the
idea that's right yeah very good if
you're able L later you know maybe make
a picture send me on the WhatsApp I'd
like to see that set that
piece okay let's go V
inside there's five lines from the
bottom beginning of the
line with this of that's why he learns
and that's why he does
the and that's why
he
he this type of is
analogous to the soul of the living of
the speaking being the human
a human
has and preach
will speaks with sense he doesn't just
Yap and hakik and sound like a fool but
he speaks
with what about someone who's not gifted
who wasn't given by hem such a such a
strong mind such a mind later to be able
to know and meditate on the greatness
and of
God to develop a love from his
understanding God that's revealed in his
heart and he and so too he's he's short
in turn the next page
102 he's short in his mind he's not able
to and therefore he can't develop a real
fear in his heart for for God because he
doesn't get
it this is this is not about you know
instinctual feelings there's a fire
burning there's a shooting no we're
talking about through a meditation and
awesome they're real coming to
realization this is awesome this is this
is reverence this is Godless and I
understand it and that's a mind work so
what if someone is not not able to come
to that conclusion is that person
finished says the AL no but look what he
says
a least is able
to bring some kind of feeling of love
and fear from the recesses of his heart
through the
mind so he uses the two words that the
that the the heart should be agreeable
and willing Mas means
agreeable means willing and he adds two
words with complete
willingness again the the third
adjective with truth of
Truth to have actual
self-sacrifice for God's
Unity so that his Godly soul is attached
connected to and
garments and to incorporate have them be
incorporated in the unity and the
Oneness of God
which is God's
will which has expressed itself through
the study
of as we said before said in these three
lines to follow me he this is basically
chapter 16 and
T which is the my my the way I always
remember 16 is the No No heart
palpitations when you're taking out the
garbage for your wife that's the that's
the Marshall I gave you guys
right there there is a a head that's
able to meditate and and and and
contemplate so deeply and so powerfully
that it it it moves it moves it moves
the heart it moves the heart to love it
moves the Heart To Fear whatever what if
you don't have it so in chapter 16 so
what you could do and should do and what
a is charged to do because a is not a
sadic is to come to a point where you
say I don't understand it completely and
deeply but I know it's the right thing
to
do and we're talking here about in
regard to hasem and
andem I know it's right to love I know
it's right to
fear and you make a hesin now look at
the language here it's very powerful
language hesin you know what heskin
means an
agreement we're going through an
agreement now whether you like we like
it or not but like my daughter says I've
had peace uh no she tell
it's been quiet right whatever a hes at
least now it's a hkim right a hes has
its results in the in the physical world
it's not a hkim on paper and then behind
you you you do just the
opposite again you know whether it's
that way with the situation there in
Israel I'm not a politician I'm not a
strategist I don't know but I'm talking
about the idea in as far as we're
concerned we're concerned is that I I
understand understand enough of about
hasem and what he did and how he made a
human being that I agreed that I owe him
my life and I agree I should love him
and I agree I should fear Him says the
that is enough to get
your to have the
proper this a big
is because when you look into this you
mentioned the and other when you look
into the
classical I'm not even talking about you
know of course it's it has Pages upon
this but even in other vus represents
you know deep
attachment vus isn't just a cursory you
know
ancillary you know a good feeling of I
like it that's not vest that's narish
kite that's you know that's again like
is said yesterday it's more of you
that's not
vusus is real attachment and a real
attachment
implies you know um real Holiness comes
the AL says here in chapter 38 based on
what he said earlier in chapter 16 that
there's another aspect ofus that's just
as real for the ban and here you see how
this this is the continuation of his
entire first safer of
that the theme is the
B is not talking toik he
forgot it's not his safer it was a safer
that he wrote and the tradition is it
burned up it was like
for and and and
and this is written for us regular
people so says you a regular person
you're
also
what's come to a point
where I mean those are like six words
that are one two three
four four
adjectives and if you do
that you are in the
ballpark okay let's
continue
this the AL discussed in chapter 19 that
this this this agreement also leads to a
a that's Incorporated in the the vus of
let's say call this
C
acceptance I'm
sorry the the cab accepting the Yoke of
God that you will not rebel against him
I'm not going to rebel
against and through this both in not
doing what you're not supposed to doing
what you're supposed
to he learns and
he He
blesses you hear that saying the words
and and knowing the translation of
daving and
the everything was created with his word
simply don't you know I told you I've
been at tables where table where someone
took him 10 15 minutes to say
exaggerating it took him two three
minutes because he was thinking about
the that right I'm not talking about
that
now look
at and you know why he says that because
he talking to a the average
person those words of of the simple
meaning and are not inspired with love
and awe because palpable feelings for
god of love I love you God when you say
the you're in love with God no you don't
have that feeling you don't have it in
your mind
either so what type of is this it's
analogous this would be analogous to the
soul not of a human but the soul of the
living of an
animal who's not a a master of
intellect and doesn't have the strong
Free Will doesn't have free
will and all of his emotions which is
his
all an animal
scared the mouse is scared of the
cat and the cat is scared of
what face the lion or another animal in
other
words
what what it say dog dog yeah cat's
afraid of the dogra of the dog so in
other words it's all about who's going
to injure me right the these M these
these animals these barbaric individuals
it's all scary look they're continuing
the truce the truth the truth they've
been bombed out of their head they're
running like chickens like you know
chickens they're running like chickens
and scrambling and they know that as
soon as it finishes they're going to go
back and we're going to get this msza
over there the head they're all just a
matter of time they're all going just a
matter of time now I know we discussed
yesterday they're chickening out and all
that but at the end of the day they're
going to go again not maybe the way we
want them to go the point being it's
it's highest that's what it says
animals
mazikin they they're damaging animals
who want it hurt so they get scared if
they know and they run and they run and
they hide and they make tunnels and they
run and they run let's continue you see
how a piece of T has everything in it
everything is included in a piece of T
he
says an animal also
likes things that he likes so they go
and they rape women they like it and
then they kill them those barbarians
right what
and then they decide that they're going
to get you know you know maidens in
heaven all their knowledge that's all
a says so this is all
natural and it doesn't come from the
animals
comprehension and the Animals mind on
animals
instinctual so th says this second type
ofus which is Theus of the B is
analogous to this so don't convince
yourself that this vus is the ultimate
vus but the
ultimate this is to the this might be
one point of of of difference between
the way Theus looks atus and other looks
atus this we would need an academic
study on and my friend uh do Seaman at
Emory University who knows a lot ofus
and he's a very fine special professor I
mean a PhD from Harvard maybe I should
encourage him to write a thesis on
this natural hidden latent love that's
concealed within the heart of every Jew
is as we learned early in chapter 189
it's an inheritance that we got from our
ancestors and it's it's like a a natural
thing that you're born with
says it's true it's true we were given a
gift you belong to the Jewish people you
convert to the Jewish people properly
then you're gifted with this
yusha but just know that it's analogus
to the soul of an animal versus the soul
of a human
and what we walk away with and he's
going to continue talking now the next
chapter about angels very interesting
chapter the next chapter because it
follows this idea here so I want to make
sure everyone understands that we're
leaving at this point tomorrow making
a but right now left us with this idea
the difference
between the the in kavana itself there
two aspects there is a kavana that's a
humanlike aspect and there is a cavana
which is an animal likee
aspect so so although the AL seems to
highlight a you know the humanik kavana
which is the ultimate I believe that
simultaneously he's not leaving us in
the spear he's also telling us potential
B in him that that just having the
animal like Cavo IE um you know that
it's it's it's you know it's more mid
Orient Ed but nevertheless we understand
that it's we understand not we feel we
understand that it's right to love and
fear God and to do the Mitzvah that's
that's
adequate and and and and and one other
point that he mentions in this in this
chapter that I didn't articulate is he
said in the beginning if you have kav
and you don't do the Mitzvah it's
nothing it's
garnished
so this chapter I told you for most of
chapter 38 39 and 40 are about the
virtue of
kav but never forget that is kav must be
expressed in
M but the question is is our m is our
deed beere of of any sort of kavana or
to has some sort of kavana so what he's
saying here is that the ultimate m is it
should have a certain degree of
kavana so if someone asks you is it is
it important for me to
feel to to be inspired from doing a
Mitzvah the Dan is
absolutely but but don't be disappointed
if you don't have those you know heart
palpitations of love for God when you
put F on in the
morning you understand so it you have to
you have to play it both
ways have a good
day tell other people to join us for you
tomorrow Shalom by got a question yes a
question ask you
just when I go over rash and I don't say
the words does this count to store
learning
no then what is it I mean I'm learning
the I mean I'm getting the the knowledge
behind it that that that's knowledge but
Torah learning it says you have to say
out the words
that that that's that's basic uh and
know you're doing a good thing
Masha but but if you if you technically
want to if you want if you want to check
off you know the Mitzvah the 63
including the Mitzvah of learning T so
they answer let me just there's two
aspects to learning T there is the
saying of words of to which is fulfills
the Mitzvah of learning then there's the
idea
T knowledge of Torah that you're
doing like you said you're getting
knowledge but you're missing the
MIT so try to regul to start saying it
in Hebrew in English whatever in English
it's fine but you need to so when I
listen to let's say a class of of of
rabt palel or something like that that
counts as the knowledge though right
that's right that's knowledge but it's
not learn it's not it's who it doesn't
make a difference it being God
himself makes no difference who it is to
me recently yeah well if but I'm saying
if Hashem himself speaks and you don't
say the words with him then you're not
learning I don't know if you noticed but
sometimes there people in shoes
listening to a sheer and they'll under
their breath they'll say along with with
the rabbi teaching that's to get the
mitz of T
Torah but again you that also yes what
is that also why um you we when we don't
uh I
heard is that if you're listening to the
tah that you should you should chant
it by by yourself for this same idea um
I you do have to chant it and that's
what I do to myself and that's what I
that's that's what says but I'm not
that's I'm not sure if that's because of
t
you
understand maybe it is maybe it is we we
we have to look into the I
remember I did I do remember that they
said if the is read from a CL that the
the is different than if it's just read
from a saer and so I don't remember all
the na okay we have to look into it have
a great day Basha thank you for bringing
it up it's very important I I really
appreciate your honesty and and because
people need to hear it not just over
here but world over it's a big issue
especially if you're coming from a
western Society you don't read a book
Jack said to you just read like this
right so it it's it's a hard habit to
break so I appreciate what you said you
very very important what you said Z take
care
