Litvaks are thirsty for Chasidus - Study Ein Yaakov daily - Igeres HaKodesh 23b- RC Dalfin

so good day we're going to learn thees fourth section of Tanya sacred letters P uh chapter 23 Letter 23 we're middle of the letter we are on page um 272 and we are four lines from the top in Middle the line and regarding this issue of the of the resting which is different than receiving reward as we learned yesterday regarding this say there's no reward in this world you want to get reward reward is in the in in not here because the idea of reward is associated witha with comprehension of godliness and that even and that is not applicable or not possible in this world to have perception of God when the soul strips itself from the body and goes returns back to its maker and we have the concept of Hab the world to come over there we have the idea of of of of comp of reward which is the idea of comprehension of God and this is also considered a kind to you God is for you pay repay everyone based on their behavior and action as the sages [Music] say gives special and since earn it they get that reward conversely even angels angels it's very uh unique that the AL says this in Tanya it says it I think only in two places one in chapter 35 and one over here Mighty just as just as I heard made from my teachers plural referring to the the mag of M who heard things in the name the and what is the teaching that he heard from the if there to if there were to be even just one angel who who would be standing who please mute yourself who would be did no you didn't who would be among 10 Jews if there was an angel that's amongst 10 Jews and the Jews even if the Jews are not speaking words of to they're just hanging out together of God's fear would fall upon the angel in infinite way the Shar from the that rests on the 10 Jews that are congregated together even if they're not learning Torah and they would melt and the angel would melt an angel AB what's greater than an angel if an angel finds himself in front with 10 other with 10 Jews he would melt he would be so impacted by the that rest on the 10 Jews and the 10 Jews are not learning tah they're just sitting just just they just hovering around each other that's what he says the impact on the angel will be to the point where the angel would be a of of its existence completely volan says therefore it is no good in my eyes the action the behavior that's done under the sun that means you know that's an expression of something that's done in this world generally speaking of and specifically amongst my brothers and my my and my friends referring to fraternity which come close to when you say coming close like it refers specifically to prayer to and what happens aftering before daving before the actual beginning of daving or after daving it becomes a a a a sitting a sitting place of scoffers it becomes a scoffers hang out God forbid because people are just chitchatting either before ding or after Ding and already say two people that sit with among you know they're sitting and there isn't words of you know use a very harsh expression about those two people and if there be comes a a a dwell a a a a a dwell's place of of of scoffers amongst 10 Jews in which the rests on them so in other words look at this phenomena velv you have the concept that the rests on 10 Jews that are together but what are they doing scuffing wasting time talking before after ding says the there is no embarrassment there is no disgrace for the that's greater than this God forbid and say say the say at some desecrates transgresses by doing a sin privately he pushes aside the feet of the of the Divine prence surely someone who does a sin in public pushes aside the entire presence of the Creator speaking as the sages say I and he he and I God and and and such a Jew who Who's involved or a group of Jews involved in I in in in a idle conversation we can't well in one in one room and what what you're doing is you're creating that the king is Chained in chain is is tied up in Chains you're taking AEM who is in the world especially who's in the situation because because there 10 Jews together and you're tying him up and he can't release himself he's here but he's bound he's a prisoner that's what you do to God when 10 Jews sit around and before after ding they just smoing smoing smoing or wasting time it's a quote the Z wo are to those that push away the Divine Providence the divine presence and they they push aside the presence of Hashem and Hashem says and wake up for your dust and Rise continues this is this is his chastising them there are three reasons why the Jews are in you hear that number one because they push aside the number two they make embarrassment they cause embarrassment to it says he says two out of the three so this this is the problem now listen to what the solution is everyone we're now going on top of page therefore my beloved Brothers my friends again referring to his and all others don't allow this big evil big bed right this no good this great no good situation to happen and give honor to God your God before it becomes dark what does that mean this means when is this between each day between the afternoon and evening Services throughout the week and what should you do instead of just sitting around and chatting waiting for my you know you finish and you wait and and and instead of sitting around and doing nothing 10 people together should study the inner teachings of Torah a this refers specifically to the AIC sections of the talmud that's found in the book called yov and and and there are the secrets of T in those stories of the townwood G are hidden in the stories that sound like fables Abra fables bues they're actually the greatest secrets of T in the called okay and when you learn that together in a group of 10 says it atones for a person's transgressions as this is explained in the writings of the Holy Arlo this is regarding the esoteric teachings of what about the revealed teachings when it comes to um the way that a person should conduct himself and follow in them and a person should Place upon himself this advice in regarding to Heavenly and worldly matters of and it's know to every wise person stop so this all sorry this all is is the conclusion of this first suggestion that we learn that we learn P between in the context of learning inov a stories of the of the gor which contains in it the the um secrets of the number two says you should also study at that time you should study the daily laws of living life laws that are necessary for every person and regarding this the SES say whoever studies Jewish law every day these are very clear and relevant laws as it's explained by rash so you should study that you should study that also okay so two things so far I spoken about studying the the stories of the T which most secrets of the T are embedded in them in the form of this and also in the form of the of the book called yov which compiles all the stories of the talmud and the second thing he wants he's recommending is this is during the week it seems now he says with shab when comes to the holy shabas on shabas itself not a shabas at that time you should study the laws ofas of shabas why sorry I'm sorry this is called the Abundant the great laws of shabas if you look into the Sid of the balat you find this in in towards the end of the sitter since there are so many laws regarding shabas it is very easy for a person to desecrate and violate shabas because they don't know the so therefore study theas of shabas so you'll be more careful and and you won't violate chabas some of the violations of shabas that one is not aware of if they don't study the laws involves prohibitions that that is that is cision cusa stoning and the reason is it's because they lack the knowledge so they they they desecrate the the the the the um the AA and the the shik tal the the The Accidental Behavior comes from from not stunning enough so therefore it's considered an intentional sin in other words your excuse is a person's excuse is I didn't learn I don't know yeah so start learning you can't say oh I don't know you don't know if you know if you don't know that you have to learn it's one thing I've WR but we're telling you take out learn the laws of shabas and you'll become more aware and you won't and you won't desecrate the the many of the laws right and your excuse that you don't know is not excusable that's what he says surely when it comes to prohibitions there's so many details of Rabin enactments and specifically when it comes to prohibitions of something that's called Mah it'ses it's not it's not a shabas designated thing so it's called Mah and you don't know the laws and meanwhile shabas for example just AB do you know on shabas the silver W is on your table if you don't use it you're not allowed to play with it you not just pick it up and throw it's m why because that silverware has been designated for shest use so if you don't need it to eat your fish and and whatever else you're not allowed to just play with it you know how you hold the the you hold sometimes in your hand you play with it it's forbidden it's m so who would think of that I know it because I learned I learned it by from my rebi my teacher when I was 15 16 years old in Yesa then later when I learned myself the laws I I I saw that as well I'm just saying that there's so many things on shabas that if we're not informed vis a learning about it or hearing it from a teacher and all that then you don't know so says that the lack of learning is not an excuse because you should be learning and that's why he's telling us here to learn the laws of chabas between or time or excuse me time each shabas and he says we know the rule that the prohibitions of the rinic uh rabic enactments are even stronger are more severe than violating words of Torah we're not going to go into it why but that's as thees say whoever desecrates re even if it involves a very minor lightweight type of prohibition that would the rabbis decided that it's forbidden to do it Dr re gives an example for example someone who eats a a meal full meal before MV now you know if you have a Min set minion you're allowed to whatever but if one doesn't before M you're not allowed to eat a full meal you maybe taste something but a full meal before my not allowed to now now that's a rabic a rabic Prohibition it's not a Biblical one so who cares big deal says no because since the the prohibitions of the rabbis are stronger than the prohibitions of the Torah violating that little issue which seems to be be to you to to us as lenient and not important and big deal it actually is a worse blemish on your soul than violating a Torah law and the law is your obligate death as though you you you desecrated the most stringent law of not fasting eating etc etc yeah the and every individual don't separate yourself from the congregation you see this what I told you yesterday you come it's between and they're learning together a group of right and you want to you're separating yourself you're going to learn on your own you're going to Le something else says don't separate yourself learn together with everyone what they're learning at that time later right you could learn on your own but at that time learn together what we do right some of us go outside don't go outside if they won't be 10 without you don't go outside if you have to go outside and there's 10 but if there isn't 10 because the importance of having a Minion for learning as we learned in this beginning of the chapter so if you go out and there's only nine left you've you've taken away you've removed kind of the because there's only now not 10 for all says and upon him for such a person the P would say you know go those that forsake God will have an end it's very severe for all matters of Holiness that when you need 10 people and you break the 10 it's a very very severe thing and by the way it's important to know because sometimes we go into a show they have a minion and you have a phone call or you have a rush your wife's waiting or your kids waiting or this or that and you go out in middle and you leave them with nine it's it's a very big no no to do that and yet there are excuses oh you know you can if you start Theon with nine with 10 and then one goes out you're still allowed to finish this mess we know all the excuses and all the ways in and out in but spiritually that's it's not right because there's 10 there's and when you go away and there's nine left you break that that kadus that's what he says there is no Holiness as the Holiness of St of to because Hashem and his to all one and therefore there needs to be all of us together and it goes back to this idea of separating yourself for the congregation and going out while the people are learning together or not or not participating and even if you're learning on your own Etc is not appropriate promises look at the end the last two lines on page and those that will will listen to me what I said in this this letter will rest assured in their days and our days there'll be salvation Yehuda of Judah of Jerusalem they will rest with peacefulness and Tranquility so be and so may be with the will of hem I I just want to um say a few words because it's yat this coming shabas and we won't be learning till Monday mem so this year becomes the 75th year that the rebba um is our re he started in 1950 although the formal acceptance kind of was a year later on the yard side of the first yard in in but we know as the re once spoke in 1983 by the rashab and he explained based on the ramb that the moment the previous Mel passes away the new Mel becomes the Mel even though he's not yet yet yet anointed whatever this based on RAM so we understand as well he said this about the rashab that although the rashab forly sat on his father's chair 11 years after the marash passed away in 1882 and that asab didn't sit on the chair of his father of his father until uh 1893 11 years nevertheless the said that he became the fifth 11 years before so said about definitely applies to him as well that although formerly didn't become the as perceived by everyone till 1951 it started the moment the passed away 1950 and this year is 75 years and um I remember in 1980 I was at the faan and that was the year was 30 years since the Reb's leadership when salash Sal the Great Gun going from the house of brisk at the time also therea of Yesa University he came to the faan and I made a clip about it I don't know if you got a chance to look at it but do do so um I shared my memories and feelings it was it was an awesome once in a-lifetime experience you know was out of this world that you know we all have this like you know once in a lifetime experience this was one of those but the the the message that we we should live with now as we go into theat is that a re a Reb is is here because he communicates the word of Hashem to to CLA Isel to all of Israel and of course you know uh people would like to have that bash is physically where you could see and hear in this case for most of us myself included it's hard to hear and see him okay maybe there are those out there that can but I'm not yet at that level so but but the message is the same okay if you asked me when when the re was alive Bashas you know did I have any special close connection talking to him every day absolutely not talking to him every day I spoke to him I think uh two or three times in my entire life Once In 1980 when I brought a bar mitzvah boy with his grandparents toas and a few times online the dollars and probably and also when I had my bar mitzvah so maybe five to 10 times I spoke to him but spoke to him very briefly but I I wrote and I received answers that I have much more of but even if one is born after giml thas or F right the the idea is that sadic as we will learn in in a several weeks it get us a and if you learn that well and you understand it and you believe it and you live with it the life of a sadic is a it's not GM and as far as that's concerned brings for the Z that's more active and real after a person's physical passing including A's passing because he's not bound by the gmas okay and the the the stories are numerous you've read them you've heard them you've had them and they they and it and it's real it really is real but you have to be sensitized to Rus to spirituality if you're not sensitized to so you don't want to be sensitized to then it's dark and the person passes away and there's nothing left and you know on and on you get morbid and upset but if you understand that it's all aus and it's like the rebba told you know RAB Josh Gordon was the teacher on kab.org thousands of people listened to him theb said to the Gordon family after the grandfather ab and Gordon passed away I think it was 1969 I believe the Reb said he went to an upper floor there is the first floor the second floor the third floor the said he left the first floor and now he's on the second floor but he's on the second floor so if you if you go to the second floor you will find him there if you don't go to the second floor you ain't finding him there understand the second floor is G you know so this is a little bit about some thoughts to think about onat and it's a day to as the Reb said about his father-in-law the is of course it's a day to to learn his TI to support his institutions and to share it with your family and friends the made a very big point and the main point that he said in the M of bosani which we learn every year and this year we're learning the 16th o I believe and um uh 15th and we're learning 1965 the M 65 and the M of 19 85 that ever said twice my on that chapter in bosani and the idea of the bani is making a dwelling place on Earth that's what we're doing you know it's it's very nice to sit in a corner in a k and be locked up and uh what does the world have from from that what does the world have from that there's eeden all over that could benefit from every person so of course in addition to one's own learning a person should share with others in every any way Poss possible and I could tell you uh that the heart the Jewish heart today is really awake and alert and looking for and this Sunday I spoke at yes University and then later on at a young Israel in t New Jersey and the interest inabus I'm not talking about just culture and and stories but the learning ofus is Mainstay interest today just a matter of having people teach it you know so I I remember when I started Ines in 2017 when we started the K I remember how I met the the rabbis and abonim some who are still here some who have gone on and and there was um an openness to to m i mean I always say this but because it's the truth he you know he he not only did he encourage me to give the he nud me and he paid from his own money I think for uh for ads in the handouts that you guys get at your homes I forget what it's called the you know and and and I I he asked me to write up a course syllabus which I did for the first six weeks and when I finished that I thought you know okay and then he sends me an email RAB doin where is the core the core syllabus for the next six weeks I said MTZ I you know the people that are already interested we're going to continue learning each week for an hour in the evening 9:15 or so we used and he said no no no no no that's not going to I need to have it in the in in in in the in the handout in the for people to see a half to full page in and you know and cost money you know and he didn't he did it on his own so and and and he wasn't you know he he he he I think liked but he was not a you know and the point this was 2017 2025 eight years later it's only only the CER betweenus and is is much better I'm not saying that you know um that aak still isn't aak and a is not a I'm not I'm not going there okay that's not you know you can always find people that are so narrow but a lot of people who were narrow have opened up their Horizon and this this Sunday these two events came from someone who's a prominent person in EK you know uh you know grew up iniva and you know went kind of a little bit to the modern orthodo way although he's a you know strong tal and and everything else and and and he started to Lear and he had questions and he and he wasn't he originally opposed opposed okay and but when he opened up and he started to you know to to learn and to ask his questions and to listen he says it's all you know most of the stuff that he heard in his childhood in his teenhood is b n doesn't have wings you know or or you know that there's sometimes uh you know fanatic here and a cuckoo here and things like that every group has their Fanatics and every group has their cucko okay that's part of the Jewish experience so so I I I'm on this uh campaign youat that to make more you know if I was by you guys there living there I would try to have five sh in different shoes all over you know because the is is ready and it's just a matter and you guys have teachers bar you have a Yesa there now and there's teachers RAB K you know uh he's a big and he speaks English well so you know far even though you know he's he's older and his health is isn't great he's a great a great both in you know so um somehow you need to utilize that to bring them to um the L world world I remember Y in um this I forget his name now this SP guy who knows tanak by heart he he started to come Friday nights with his son to the car to your Sho sud RAB yeah and I asked him like I asked him like you know cuz there there's far right near you up there you know which I it's very beautiful and it's you know at the time was much nicer and bigger you know and he said you know he wants his kid to be excited about yish so he wants to see the way a a real Friday night daving with the SIM is you know and he came I came every week but my point is that theim also you know they have their Traditions no question about it and we have to respect that but there's room there too to to share with them have a great y a great chabus we'll see everyone
