Kindness: Two different kinds - Igeres HaKodesh 10a - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

we're learning uh okay that's on page um 228 and this get us which is also about s Al addresses without saying who he addresses but he's addressing the people in Russia who in the previous letter he called upon them to support the his theim who made Aliyah to Taria in this my understanding is that he's really talking about the giving to the locals who are in need so and are next to each other number nine number 10 not just because of the numbers but because the the content is about supporting the and in this chapter it's about supporting the locals let's see what he says page 228 is an acronym it stands for shalom shalom of course you know means giving regards giving regards of Peace So the AL starts in a most beautiful way after giving regards to you guys and life the opening of my words should arouse now the AL says Okay I I I greeted you properly and I I'm wishing you all life now he says but what I'm going to say I hope will arouse within you the right thing and what is that he quotes a the air will hear will listen to the scolding the mus of life that Hashem that God scolds life through His prophets and this AOS and what does it mean it means that when a navi spoke H and even when he scolded you SC to the Jewish people Yi the purpose was the purpose was life the purpose was to improve you so the AL is saying that he hopes that his words in this letter in this shearis will be have the same effect n sir rather than taking it in a negative way that the Reb is giving me mus and you know and you know the rabit didn't have anyone else to pick on except me says that when AI gave mus the purpose of the mus was for improvement so he hopes that his words of muser that is going to share throughout this Saras this letter it be taken the same way and he says the verse says of doesn't end t means seiz asks simple question he should have said the should say God's kindness doesn't end in other words in all situations in life be it perceived good or God forbid otherwise it's all good it's all what's this n the N implies that it's referring to what to the people and the literal meaning is it refers to Hashem hashem's kindness won't cease that's his question look at the question the should have written without one second one second and it brings a verse another verse which says right for it will never end your kindness so we see that hashem's kindness what's the extra over here Etc yes you want to ask something you're on mute I can't hear you you're on mute I can't hear you hello I can't hear you you're on mute hello you're on mute okay um Rabbi doin can can you uh check your camera yeah why do you see do you see him is Sir no we're looking at the bottom of a laptop o yeah o I'm sorry closer there you go I'm sorry okay and and where AR we I just I had stepped out for a moment and I'm lost we're on ettus 10 did you follow the question where are we we are in getes 10 okay fine okay I'm with you now so the question was very simple the question was why does the PK say with a regarding hashem's kindness it should say and it brings the another which says in other words goes on the on the kindness of hasem with the goes on us we're talking about of course it goes it's going to us but it's not you want to emphasize that is constant and even in a situation where it appears to be not that way you should know it's hasem that's his question let's go on it will be understood based on what it says in the Holy there is one type of and there's another type of is the first type of is what we call a worldly Etc the second type of is there's a superal The Who and this Z says is called ra on abundant of now before we continue I want to tell you the way it's explained in and the way Al adds a different explanation here in t because this is a this is quoted in many places basically means a worldly means a that's associated with the world we live in in other words this is already limited it's generated by the naturally if it's it has limitations because the world is limited says thees that's one type of it's It's of but it's limited then there is RA means an abundance of which means it transcends the parameters of the world and it's not generated by the world you don't create God's kindness in that mode God's kindness in that mode begins with God not with us whereas the first level ofid begins with us us we create the that God gives us okay that's the interpretation generally speaking as brought here in Tanya Del is going to say a fascinating thing he's going to say that even even within the ra there's two levels there's a that we call is and there's a type of RA that's ra that's I'm not gonna tell you more you're G to read it we're gonna learn ourselves soon but that's his nuda so in other words and that we need to really understand because the difference yes yes he will I'm just wondering this phrase from the would that we we sort of say in English something like there's and then there's is is you think that Zohar has sort of like an implication like that yes yeah okay absolutely absolutely so in in again the here in Tanya is going to be that within the level of RA there's two experiences okay that's not the norm the way it's explained in other let's see what he says it is known the is called there's a mightiness strength Sal it refers to might is is severity is judgment is G strength and 630 were given to gur from the mouth of gura why H why not so we see an association between gur and the 630 Mitzvah in the T brings the from God's Right comes forth the religion the D the religion the je the T out of fire so here's the issue wait a minute isn't so all of these the and that implies there's an aspect of within and that's what Al is about to explain now listen to this P that's why the word p is here to reconcile this seeming contradiction p mean the T the way it's in its source it is only the God's that's nicknamed with the name right it means it's the way is drawn down by God into the world and it's only an elemination from the infinite light to the low worlds man through doing draws it down himself by fulfilling this 248 Mitzvah positive Commandments the 248 limbs of the king so in other words when we do T mitz positive commandments so far we're talking about you draw down a limited light of Hashem into the world that we call God's it's limited right you you'll see the moment C this brings down one another every Mitzvah has its corresponding or that's drawn down because of that Mitzvah so is when you do the Mitzvah you're not throwing down the Mitzvah the the or that comes down for putting a m on your door and so each Mitzvah is limited to that limb right so that's a means to draw down like water goes from above to below it's coming down we are causing it through the Mitzvah but it's a limited one okay let's continue meaning we create 248 vessels V and garments let to this amination of God to this infinite that's invested in the particular limbs the parenthesis and from this and energy will come forth fear and love for God it's a very important parenthesis you put on F in the morning you have to know is saying that you have within that Mitzvah of filling in the morning there's a certain type of awe and love for God that will be generated that's limited that you're putting on a filling in the morning and guess what when you put up a muuza later in the day or you go and visit someone in in in a hospital a nursing home or you do another Mitzvah the love and fear here could be completely different that's why explains why is it certain Mitzvah I have I feel high I feel galic and a certain Mitzvah I just do and I feel nothing so of course it depends on your refinement but another thing it depends on is the channel that it's going through the K yeah this is what the AL is emphasizing here you hear this it's not only because you woke up on the right side or you woke up on the wrong side today or you heard good news of God forbid otherwise the the the energy that's coming out coming down through this Mitzvah goes through the channels of this Mitzvah and each Mitzvah has a different way of having the energy filter itself through that's thees the fact that hey I woke up great I didn't get I didn't I'm not in a good mood I hav't a good mood I I I worked more I worked less I refined myself more and all that that's you and that's true that means that even if the energy here is very powerful and very strong but if you're AI excuse me you know if you're if you're not there it ain't happening jump up and down it's not going to happen we're talking about inspiration now inspiration inspiration warrants a k k meaning a refinement on my part what am I doing to refine what am I doing to channel this energy in a way that I'm inspired by it so you could have the greatest energy the greatest gift but if you're not a mench at the end of the day it's all n lost saying a similar thing let's continue this drawing down of energy of is first invested that's nicknamed called in the this verse this means the energy is contracted the light energ that comes from the infinite God why in order for the energy to invest itself in actual practical Mitzvah it needs to be minimized if it comes down with its full potency the can't handle them because most mitz are from material matter like stop therefore since the mitz this is the point since the mitz are mostly in gmas involve material therefore kmas is not a vessel for INS on a revealed level so what happens has to happen is the aelf has to contract itself and we call that regular so again this is I don't know if you're following because you're going to ask me tomorrow up until the part wa wait wait oh no the the process in which the is exactly it so the process is theim but what's the content of it it's a as filtered through the so I'm anticipating that the that thew is going to be without without limitation very good very good you're on the right track yes so if somebody says if you ask somebody how they're doing and they say can read into it they can say well I'm really I'm feeling the gorus but I know there's cussed behind it yes yeah because that's a limited it's not it's not ra it's exactly you know it sounds funny what you said but that's exactly the point that that that that is limited that's why what you're hearing what you're feeling is the G but let's continue okay he says before we spoke about the Mitzvah that so what about the the Mitzvah that are their content is more spiritual for example all and love forem right it's not tangible it's not physical so maybe in over there you can experience the the higher level of says lied CL and they're not infinite at all because the Abundant love without any limit your heart cannot tolerate it it's too overwhelming you can't exist that's what he says here if the abaa would be believe one second and he brings it happened once and it didn't work at the time when gave the of page there was the revelation of godliness Infinity of God deeper through the words all that G and it was revealed and guess what their souls flew out what happened did we do anything wrong we're standing at har we're anticipating theas Adas we're in love with God offer God trepidation all right the mountain Shook and everything else so we're there what happened why because the or is such a or that it is impossible or in this case the love is such a love it's impossible to exist physically and have it and that's why so you're probably going to ask yourself and wondering well as is was getting to so this other AA the other the means that I can exist and have an aab in the physical right we'll see about that tomorrow what time is it now 3:14 we'll stop here M and we'll continue tomorrow okay feel well thank
