okay good morning we're on page 77
where i'll just read the kisser to
refresh ourselves what we learned
in the past paragraph or two uh
and uh please review it if you missed
the sheer or two you have it online you
can review the shear
because there's continuity here if you
miss you know some of the mimer you
might
be missing some essential information
that's relevant to the
continuity of the miner so we're on page
77 where it says kitser
[Music]
a sinner is worse than an act
and that's a quote um well it's not an
actual quote but it's based on a gemura
that there ever brought in the mind
in the my in the chapter earlier
some of those sins and transgresses is
even worse than a non-kosher animal the
highest risk and
evil animals bad animals
because they guard they watch
hashem's command gum negative
even if it's contrary to their nature
they still
are careful to do what hashem wants so
that's and
and yet the person who is not an animal
is doing against hashem so that's why
man who does a sin is worse than a yitus
than an act
was there in addition to this
he separates himself immediately
when he does an aveira from god's
oneness or paid him
ben muscle and he blemishes the cords of
his soul
and the rabbit brought here what the
altar ever brings in tanya
of yaakov yo listen remember
yaakov is a a rope of inheritance
where the ropes are made up of 613
strands
and every aveda reduces one strand
and when it's an aveda that involves
curries
it cuts it off immediately so the altarp
says that when
one does something inappropriate here in
the house on earth
it shakes the top of the rope
which is connected to the with to the
neshama the myla in heaven
this is so the also brought this over
here
and he says that this is the idea of
period
total separation
[Music]
and he blemishes the the chords
of his neshama the seekers
by cutting the rope the of of the the
the thread
of the rope each one each one each
availa
of the 613 whether it be assay or los
ese
cuts away another chord if not done when
you're supposed to do or you don't
you're not supposed to do and you do
well
so who would want to cut his cord
this is the umbilical cord that we need
to keep not that we need to cut so who
would want to cut his cord only is only
a straight
a fool it's it's like committing suicide
but why look at the word the rebbe uses
here
ain't margie
he's missing regis feeling
you know what's the difference between a
shaytan and a badass
a fool and someone who's intelligent
zabardas
hargosha i mean this is even brought in
hazal
that's the whole idea of hargosha in in
in regarding
um the dini tahara with a woman with
argosha
then does the idea of her gosh giving
birth
being able to conceive the concept of
hergish is the root
idea the key idea to intelligence
if you have hergish you could develop
your deer
you can you can you can thrive on
knowledge but if you're missing hergish
or you don't use your hair gish
then the knowledge is just in the realm
of knowledge
and this is an answer by the way to a
question that we all
ask why is it that i dove and i learn i
don't feel
right any serious person who dolphins
that learns
asks this question or should i ask this
question and the answer is because
you're missing heritage
why are you missing haircuts because you
didn't work on reggie now what does
wreckage mean screaming dancing no
can that invoke records sometimes
but wreckage is a feeling inside and you
develop a feeling
so when you say that's the first four
words of davening each morning
and if you take the time you stop you
don't go further and you ask yourself
why is hoidu
la hashem why is giving thanks to
yudkevke to
hashem yet kiro calling
is only to smite to his name and you ask
yourself what's the difference between
la hashem
and shmai so for that we have we have to
learn
see this talks about the difference
between the essence of hashem
examination but even if you don't want
to see this let's say you get um oh if
you literally are not aware of this
concept
the fact that you stop and you take time
and you think about this thing
this the thoughtfulness the mindfulness
the the calming down and thinking that
itself is already a process that can
evoke a little heritage a little feeling
and the more you think about it the more
you'll feel
so regis there are different ways to be
to evoke regis again one way is the
breslik
see them they clap with their hands they
jump up and down and that's
that's part of not saying that's all
they do but that's part of their reddish
the vision of
where the words express their their
feelings of of
them through the song the chabad
uses meditation and so
you saw you have the various groups
right but what are they all trying to
and then you have the literature
who have their style whether it be
shaking or closing their eyes making
with their hands
they're also trying to get reddish
everyone's trying to accomplish
regis and that's what the rashaab says
here
it tells you commit a sin and you know
that this is foolishness because you're
cutting a strand and hospital
it can cut the rope and you're in deep
trouble you're finished
god forbid right so no fool will do that
so how can you do that
the answer is i don't feel it i don't
feel it i'm the same guy
i'm the same guy the guy says i will eat
and you'll keep her
a piece of hazard and i'm not going to
drop that how do you like that
how do you like that right
well you don't understand my friend it's
a cumulative let's continue now on page
79 mimer hey the fifth mimer pay the
color
he still continues his thought he's
still busy with the yates
the fact that the eight zahara promises
purse the person
that even if you do something bad and we
call mochi because you're like
nevertheless you'll still have it good
like i just told you
eat right okay
lame right as he quotes the possibility
you will bless your in your heart will
say
i could go in my married old way my man
and and hashem will be good to me and
i'm gonna still have goodness and
kindness
says
this is also from the convincing of the
eighth the into horror
he quotes a passage which means that
the honey drips from the lips of a
harlot
but her end is bitter as worm let's
wormwood
possibility as taste it seems sweet it's
a harlot
it's it's prostitution and everything
else but at the end she
realizes her mistake and this has been
documented today too
says that to understand this whole idea
of um better we have to
we need to preface the possibilities
that's the possibility in the world i
shall have
peace shall he write that no he will
bless he was born
i will have peace because i will go
in my uh very way right way
with the man's voice
[Music]
that the words ki beshredes libby in the
posik
is a reason for what's written before
that
why the person will say in their heart i
can go
do my merry old my very good way i could
do whatever i want
why because i'll get away with it
the mushrooms there show them yearly and
that's why i will have peace
they're ever asked a question seemingly
if this is the shot in the it's
not understood
but not sure
how is it that he thinks
that specifically when he will go bishop
through this year he'll have peace
i mean it doesn't make sense if you're
acting in your own way
you think you're going to have peace if
you're going on hashem's way only
the potatoes says you'll have peace but
if you're going in your own way
how is it you'll have peace but right
the god
mao perusal man's face what is the
meaning in the verse
that you quench the thirst
[Music]
comes along and says
does not mean quench but stress means
join
you join one year to another so we see
that the words
fool which is the the root
also associated with the word
self-suffice means joining
he explains not that the word
motion means joining but rather
peter schlosson told surface the meaning
of the word
is is suffice is tosafest
to add and he brings a passage in
jeremiah
i'm sorry in in
[Music]
when it comes to bringing the bird off
burnt offering you add
a zeb up a top and above
uh above in addition to the ola until
the
oil will sacrifice so we see that the
word shuffle
means hey suffer edition top of
eighty-one
pedestrian votes may uh now we go to the
second word in the passage that we
quoted from devarim
right it says it's maya
this refers to the the worshipers
those that worship idols
cheshire
who are thirsty uh
who are i'm sorry who are satiated and
are not
thirsty liaison for the creator
and that's why they worship idols and
they don't worship god they don't need a
god
samaya zuck necessarily who is thirsty
the jews
they are thirsty hungry
for god's fear
or the kind of mitzvah to reveal his
mitzvos
what's known in the congregation of
israel as they are from the perspective
of heaven
we call that the level of
they are the equivalent the counterpart
of the of of the hidden hilla mata
of the jews beloved in the gods gum king
hatsumayas it's merely
so the jews here the mata the eden are
also called
thirsty because we're thirsty for our
creator
so now what did he say now what was all
he was saying basically
that what it says in the past to quench
the thirst
who is thirsty the yidna thirsty
the glam that worship idols they're not
thirsty they have idols
we said earlier right before paraguay
before
that this refers to what we call the
kingship the quality of malthus
explains that is a source
of of the of creating and sustaining all
worlds commercial gossip
all worlds the source of their creation
how are they
created from maokus from kingship from
hashem
being the melech and hashem saying i'm
taking the energy
from above i'm transmitting it to the
what's below
through what we call the process called
magrus
what are the word words
[Music]
the letters in the word start with an
aleph
this refers to all the letters of the
olive base
the princess that are within
the kingship in mahouse
in other words in order to sustain the
worlds in order for the worlds to
function and go
you need to have oysters hello what is
the word us
come from it says asa baker there's a
possible
morning arrives also
meaning it's bright the ics
give us brightness my ship
in other words when you're able to put
things into words
you have brightness yes hello
could you say it again i didn't i didn't
get the puzzle i'm
surprised i hadn't heard it
boycare morning i forget where the
positive is from it's from tanakh
alsa morning
arrives that that's the literal meaning
so casita says
that the word also with a self
and the word isis are associated
letters words bring baker they bring
revelation
when something is in makshava when
something's only a thought
as powerful as makshava is which we need
to talk properly
because if you speak without thinking
you're a fool nevertheless
it remains in my shovel you can be a
genius in thought but if you can't
articulate it
you're missing illumination you can have
a great teacher
yani that's tremendous of thought but he
doesn't have good explanation
he doesn't have good husba so there's
something lacking
there's something lacking so i see us
words letters sentences
give illumination to thought so the
rabbit says here
when it says listen to the possibility
and you hashem enliven all
all everything right what is doing
stand for from
the and from the aleph
to the tough meaning all letters from
all of the tough
michaelis coulomb that's the way you
enliven everything
you hear that taj it's a beautiful touch
that through you get
it yes mention it here but i maybe i
thought i saw it somewhere
i said this at the hay at the end that
that's the issues of
the machinist yeah okay
and yeah exactly maybe i'll say it later
i don't know but you're right
here he just says but makes a very good
point then there's there's still a
a hey left at the end right v aleph
tough hey
yeah you're saying you're familiar with
the hair at the end so it says i'm
saying it's because hey is malchus
that's malthus so hey it's the malchos
which is the infantry boy speak
speech so it fits into what we're saying
let's back into the text second line
right what's the difference between yoni
lahavos
to create or le chayos blachios to
enliven
one is existence to be existent
and one is once it's existent it should
remain
so the khazal says
in life is everything but really what it
means is you
create everything you're everything
what is he saying with ishmael what he's
saying is that dibor
is not just for highest but deeper is
for his sabbath
you hear the word you could learn
hillary you could say that the purpose
for deeper
is to keep it going but the thing exists
without it so this says no
in order for it to be to exist
you must have dibor let's continue
the udua the
which is the source of his own
both creation existence and in
enliving of in sustaining other worlds
the worlds
it's only a nomination
has no comparison to the essence as much
as it sustains it and then enlivens it
and it creates it
it's wonderful guys but it's only uh
a nomination a reflection it's not the
real mccoy
what's the real mccoy asmus essence
why why must you say that listen to his
argument
from the essence of hashem worldwide the
world we have now you only would not be
able to exist and be created not
why it's too overpowering if the sun
comes out without a shield on it an
arctic it burns up the world
if you come into a classroom and you're
overwhelmed your students
the next day they don't show up you
could be a genius from harvard and
colombia and oxford
but you're you're you're you're a
absolute minded professor we don't
understand the word you're saying
goodbye we'll find another teacher
so osmus as essence
which is infinite in its totality
la hoya f sure it was not possible
that there should be direct creation
from that
to create navroyam balikvul creatures
that are limited
in time and space why not
[Music]
we have a rule
something that's limited and and bilty
bhagwu
something that's limitless
there's no comparison between the two
one two three one is there some
comparison yes they're both numbers
but we and they're both numbers moshe
and they're both
in this world they're both in the world
of guru one is one and a trillion is a
trillion
how do you get a trillion from many ones
so what do we see
that there is a comparison a yahas in
hebrew
an association between one and a
trillion but when we talk about
group and built about wool limit
limits and the world of limitless
it's too different it's two different
arenas and there's no comparison
whatsoever
because it becomes explained in many
places at length
so here's the question so how was the
able
how did hashem create the world if
hashem octopuses ain't serve
if it's ain't served infinite
and what what came from the creation
you're innocent
finite how how is it that you can't
you can go from infinity to finite
and the answer is because it cause it
comes rathmad
so we have a we have an interesting
situation
the power of creation comes from the
ainsoft
but the facilitation of it into the
practicality
vis-a-vis creation a limited world
is a comes from our order the teacher
you know yes it's important for a
teacher to be a genius and have all this
information
but to facilitate that the students
become interested and ultimately come to
the same understanding and even
more it needs to be filtered
the filtering process is called
and that's the rule that we have the
rebel ashrae in his
my murmur of the known hampshire
known continuum of my muram he has a
minor there and passes
people out of my shoulder taught us
and i remember it like it was it blew
our
minds because the rabbit says there
what type of creation would the world be
if the world came
from from from maine's south what type
of world will we have
so the so the rebel rash says it's not
that we wouldn't have a world
we would have a world and everything is
bleak vu
now we don't understand that because
everything we have is full is limited
but the then says it's not that you
wouldn't have a world you would have a
limitless
world again how to understand that i
don't know
but i can i can hear the words i can
hear the idea
but how do you make how do you make a
full world
it must be that there's a symptom which
means the horror
an emanation a reflection you must
contract the infinity of the light
in order for the for there to be a
result that's that's
that's uh workable and and and feasible
and adaptable that's what he says here
is next paragraph
right we spoke about hoydu hashem this
was my only
you know it's interjection
call in his name what is a name
i call you by your name hill you're
innocent
whatever what does it mean that we have
a name
[Music]
the king's name is upon the people
in other words the purpose of the name
is for the people
the hashem a name is not the essence of
the person
a name is an identifier
you hear that it's an identifier so it
does say you might be wondering it says
well someone
show them god forbid um faints whisper
their name into their air
and that'll help wake them up so what do
we see
so see this says that doesn't prove that
it touches that it's the essence
it's a filter that's associated with the
essence but it's not the essence
but being that it's associated it gives
a
a wake-up call to the essence so you
could wake up from your
fate but a name is not who
the person is if we were not called by
names
that we have would we be different
no we of course
whatever name we were we we would have
would would express
who we are right what do we say pesach
[Applause]
right literally how do you read that
yoni how did you explain it to your kids
this pesach
says russia says
there's another way of reading it you
know why the hawker says what he says
mahu based on who he is that's what he
says
you're a fool you speak like a fool
you're smart you speak smart
you're simple you speak simple you don't
know what's going on
you speak you like you don't know what's
going on mahu
oh man that's what he says continuing
aside
and oh he says here what i said before
the name
of a man a person's name
look inside trevor it's not the essence
of the person
85 so too the vitality
of all worlds the the highest
it's only a reflection on emanation in a
name
it's not the essence but that's the way
it has to be for it to function fine
we learned to the paragraph from the
continuation of the verse that he quotes
from
dvaram
[Music]
implies that the reason why you will
have
peace and harmony is because you walk
in the merry ways that your heart
dictates
any questions oh really
and then the next question that he asked
in the paragraph was
voiceover that the the
the thirst will be quenched so he
brought the
the idea that rava is akum
who is already uh satiated
the the the that serve i
worship idols because they have their
idols to satisfy them
who is samaya who is thirsty nishmas
israel the jewish the shamans
the sharks
they're sources from the source of
worlds and creatures
shia lavar which is only a nomination
which has no comparison therefore it's
called shame
now i don't know if you got the two
what's the connection between the
the posik and his concept of malchus
you know what he's saying he's saying
why are we
eden thirsty
because our creation comes only for my
order
for a nomination so we're thirsty for
the rest
so we want obstacles we want himself
it's like the student yoni the student
who understands
you know i'm reading now um a a uh
a diary that actually uh
hillel one of hillel's rebels wrote i
believe the tone the rebbe wrote
it's called the toner diary hill are you
wearing this
no tell me about it okay well this is
top secret uh diary that
the toner rebecca mayer twisty that's
the one we're talking about right that's
your rabbit the one that
that rabbit it's the mayor no my my
rabbi is used to
mayor uh weinberg weinberg so maybe
maybe that's it
so maybe that's him i you know i better
check maybe because all
in the diary it says you'd mem that's
all it says you'd men
anyway and thank you for that because i
didn't have to change something i wrote
anyway
so the wine would be the key right i got
it
all the other all the other right
right anyway so he he
was a student of the play manager of
guerre
right so that's that yeah so that's it
that's his diary
from 1991 to 1995
or so 96 he
heard from the pneumonic thousands of
hours
of information from the past
and present and he wrote it down for
himself
well well someone obviously got a hold
of his diary
and publicized it on the internet
and people got access to it and i have
access to it
someone gave it to me as well and i'm
using it i've used it for my research
because there are things there that you
would normally not
say it's between a rabbit a rebbe
and a very close student you talk a
certain a different way you can forward
me the link i would love to
i don't have the link actually i don't
have the link i have the hard copy hold
on
this is the way someone took
the information printed it out
and bounded in a book and my friend
found it on sale
at pinter's bookstore where people you
know
people leave their books and people buy
books for a dollar at ten dollars
and he erased the name of the person who
this belonged to said i want you know
and here it says toner diary
so it never came it never came out like
this this is an individual who decided
to make it easier say put it all and my
friend saw it he bought it for
he bought it for 20 dollars and i'm
using it now for my research
so it's it there's fascinating things
there
some things some things should not be
said
and other things should and i mean
stories
going back you know 100 years and
stories from present well why am i
saying all this because
when you what a student you want to you
know
you want to really dig in you have to
get to the meat and potatoes deep down
you got to find the meat and the change
otherwise you know any time dick and
harry can put two and two together and
write it's not
it's not that difficult okay you gotta
just have time and
have a head on yet but but the research
of of finding what's beneath
the the story the you know that's
exclusivity that's that's research so
i'm just using this as an example
where a student goes further and further
and that's what we're learning here
regarding
malhus i'm bringing him back to what
we're learning regarding malhus
that the the yidden are thirsty
the are not thirsty they have
idols they're they're satisfied
we are thirsty being that we're thirsty
and
so why are we thirsty because our normal
day-to-day experience is from malchus
and mauro's is limited this gruel and it
has to be that way
because otherwise it's too overwhelming
but at the same time
you realize there's more to the puzzle
and you go beyond the the line and we go
big deeper
that's what he says over here that's why
le mans voice rover at that time
that's how you quench your thirst so
first you acknowledge that
this is the situation in order for there
to be
a world in a limited way in a normal way
in a way that we can relate to it has to
be done in such a way
but at the very same time you're still
thirsty
you realize there's more and and this
is very important in all aspects of life
not
to not to be satisfied
but to go further and further and and
and pursue more and more
and and that's uh it's it's not an easy
thing you know
it's it's not easy i mean i'm going
through this entire book i'm trying
what i'm writing about so i'm trying to
see
any time there's a mention of what i'm
writing about here just to make a note
of it and then to think about it how it
applies or
does it apply so it's it's a whole it's
a whole aveda
it's a whole time consuming thing okay
let's learn the kid sir
85 the kisser
kosuf oh we learned to kiss her i'm
sorry
let's learn another another another
paragraph
since we said that the source for
creation
comes only for the nomination or
reflection of hashem's essence
initially was incorporated in its source
[Music]
this is what we find in practice
before hashem created the world that all
that existed was he
and his name so we see that his name
existed within he pre-creation
[Music]
this is what we refer to as the name and
a nomination
himself as it's incorporated in the
essence of the infinite god
continues hashem is the one the same
the same god that he was pre-creation
guess what
even now after the world was created is
to say
why who is renewed
and only a nomination has separated
itself from
him to create to enliven and create the
worlds with
the top of next page 87.
this emanation
it's always yearning and running it
can't sit still
it doesn't have zits flash as we say in
yiddish why
leo is called by himself
because it knows it comes from such a
source
so it says i want to go back to my
source and that's why dr edison's
chapter 19 in tanya
the candles always flicking the light of
the candle go upward
it knows its sources the mockery is the
source of fire it says i want to be
there
or because it says i want to go to my
rabbit
i'm sitting in between i'm sitting in
afghanistan i'm sitting in california
i'm not satisfied i want to go to my
rabbit i want to go to my teacher
i want to go to my friends like the
store i told you mental foot of us
that he had this one day this palpable
heartfelt love for his old friend
from russia adam rabaran blinitsky
and he says i'm too old and i can't get
on the plane here's money he tells
someone get on a plane and go to him
he says what should i do give him a hug
and say this is from mental foot of us
and you can come back if you want can
you imagine
what's the shot he had a rotary
you have a urine when you have a raw
seed or something
it's insatiable and you have to go and
pursue it
further uh called overly israeli
everything has a nature
to go back to its source so my devil
[Music]
it always flickers upward because it
wants to go back to its source the
the ball of fire but
unless you have oil and a wick or short
vodka
or other items that hold the fire to
stay
here if you don't have those items
you can't hold the fire and the fire
extinguishers
[Music]
even when you do hold it through oil and
a wick he knew that thomas baldi is
really this it's up and down it's up and
down it's up and down
therefore it's always jumping i want to
go back to my source
[Music]
it's constantly thirsty to ascend to
heaven
i sing with coverage i'm not silent
says
[Music]
the flame here below strives ever always
to go to the higher flame and does not
rest have a great day
any questions
yes
the difference between the shame and the
essence
we say every day three
oh very good you just gave us the
good tights to to think about every day
you guys hear that
what say it again
but you can have the idea of playing
from
you can only acknowledge you can only
say you know
but you really don't understand it
because it's it's the essence
based on what we learned and says that
he saw that
that's beautiful have a great day
no not she's not here thank you so take
care
