okay we're in the mai marazzi book of
kashaka page 185 just to recap briefly
yesterday uh the free the kadaba the
author when he said it's mime in 1934 in
blue bukka
he explained to us the idea of he's
talking about madhva the whole madre
mitsurayan that
the toyota says and all illness of
egypt of egypt within egypt
so the rabbi explains the rook is the
spiritual aspect of this mother and he
brings the gamora and bubba mercier
three opinions
and there is uh the opinion of rav and
shmuel and
i believe yeah and rav says that
the eye and he speaks about the i and
her the jealousy and all of that
where someone is jealous of what others
have
shmull says it refers to ruach
and he spoke about the idea of air if
someone's full of air
and uh the issues associated with that
and then finally nina says
it's enough cold and that ever speaks
about the idea of being cold apathetic
in yiddish skype not
missing varm kite let's continue now
it's the middle of the page about 13 14
lines down
where it says um
[Music]
we're holding by the there's a
parenthesis in the middle of page that
says your xiaomi sharpest parrot you
dial it
you have it uh one
it's on page 85 185
in middle smack in the middle of page in
the middle of the line it says over your
xiaomi
and there's apprentices you got it okay
and then and the shabbos track that you
said
says quote us
so here is a fourth opinion right
it doesn't cite it in the name of a
rabbi of a sage but it's a
it's a citation from the gamora that
when it says
kohili it refers
this can be generally explained
with with based on what the bellatonia
the altitude explains the chapter one of
tanya
right just before he quoted the altar
about ruach that was from chapter one
and tanya as well
the four items of frivolity and then
scoffing
and and boasting and idle chatter
that was a a quote from tanya chapter
one so here quotes again here
tanya chapter one now about fire
because fire is another element of the
four elements the foundations that
of of everything in the universe
what does he say there in tanya he says
the cast for guyver
anger cass the guy tha you see here
he says geivo which is different than
his spirals
that's what i told you yesterday his
spirals boasting is like a bunch of hot
air
guyvers bragging and hordiness but the
person has with what to brag
they come from the element of fire
within the
human being was this very me there is
these two
emotions the cast of anger of agave and
horniness
fabren mentioned that's yiddish
beautiful leaders too
burns the person it burns you up
because when you get angry you're all
enraged you're all up in fire
and when you are bragging and being
guided that you're also
you know oh i'm so powerful i'm so
special i know so much
it's also it's newer a notion of
of fire
islam says
what would be the equivalent of a
spiritual
malady of fire says that but this would
be kadakas
you know again what
uh kadaka is like pushed aside
no that's um
no that's tria that's the here
is high temperature uh
fever a fever a fever correct
that this idea of someone having
chills cold and temperature and fever
bishop
at one time
that that that's the his definition of a
kadaka so
in other words it's not technically
fever
right well actually when you have fever
you you have sometimes chills and then
you have
temp you have heat
i don't know could it be malaria no
it's it's by the way in the i believe
it it mentions i think anyway
it's the aspect what could be me
maybe measles why today
today in hebrew you call measles
i think bumps like bubbles
i i don't care because it make me i
don't know i don't know i
i i know in the title
i think it means a fever
when it comes to spirituality what is
the this this melody it's on one hand
you're called simultaneously
and you're very warm you're very
feverish being young
in worldly matters you're very excited
about worldly matters
so this strap explains the gemara
yerushalmi which is the fourth opinion
that highly zoo
now it goes to a fifth opinion rabbi
eliase
you know what it's referring to it's
referring to thoughts
bad thoughts
he said rabbit says deeper looking at it
deep more deeper
it's the ideas and the scheming
using cleverness clever kahma
but you seek to justify the misses by
following the reason
and looking for a reason and therefore
and many times you're lenient on
yourself becoming
with hetero because you say look the
reason for this is so and so
and this doesn't apply now or in my
situation therefore i'm allowed to do
it asha soft surf
the end will be hospital
so it is with the descent of the soul
into the body overall speaking
in other words in other words as soon
as a person tastes
the taste of hetaydem it just
a spiral downward progressive
progression
of being matter for yourself all kinds
of situations
and that by the way just for take a
moment to talk about this
is the reason why the hominin
the sages the rabbis made ghidorin
asus yoglatora make a fence around the
tata
because without making maybe technically
the thing is allowed
but a offense was made to protect the
turtle why do you need a fence
you're innocent why is it enough to just
do what the toyota says and etc because
we are
mutier we find hatatum
you know they always taught us in
yeshiva in smithha school they taught us
a good rabbi a good rob is not someone
who is mahmeer but someone who's makel
but he's makel with a solid reason
and support for the cooler
it's like it's like it's like when you
go to the barber how do you know he's a
good barber
it's not what he cuts it's what he
leaves back when he still leaves on
i never heard that that's good that is
good
that's an original one yoni it's an
original oh you still you
heard it somewhere it's original same is
true
and this morning i have a bris oh boy
oh boy
thank you thank you but that's a very
good muscle very very good muscle
so so the the cucio glitter
making us yoga boundary is very
important and you know if you if you
if we understand this principle and
really understand that
we can understand some people who were
perceived over the centuries
as radicals you know religious radicals
okay i'll just give an example because
it's public so it's not washing horror
you know
the sacrament of title right
everyone's everyone you know cites him
and quotes him how anti-zionist and
anti-israel he was and all that
well i can tell you i wrote a whole book
about satmilla babbage and studied
and studied this man i studied his
cheetahs not
that they're you know i'm the world's
expert on him but
i wanted to the way it seems to me is
that
a lot of his stuff was rhetoric it was
rhetoric and he used the rhetoric
because he didn't want you
to breach the toyota so
i'll give you an example give an example
uh it was in 1963
and president zamasu
a part a class member was elected as
president
of of israel the rebber
the rubber uh spoke asiha around this
time
and he he congratulated him
and spoke positively about him
the sapphire rebbe was already an old
man and he was
vacationing and getting you know up in
saratoga new york
where they having some hat baths and
it's better
air and a rov came a relative a distant
relative
another relative of his uh i forgetty
it's a funny name to
chechny verrug or something uh he came
to people would come up to
walk with him and speak with him you
know this way
he had company and he got his health is
walking
so this rough comes up and
the satmar rubs rabbitson says to the
the visitor please do not mention to my
husband anything about what
you know which which hazard because he
it's going to upset him more as it is
he's upset
anyway he says okay but it came up a
conversation
so the the visiting groves and and the
sabarov was
was very upset how could the babaji
rebel
lord shazam represents the zionism and
all of that
so he says to the satmarov
maybe we should make a protest when you
come back or even if not
you know they make protests you know at
the u.n
uh in manhattan here there maybe we
should take you know
a lot a lot of people children they make
these public
and he expected that sakba rav to say of
course
and satmarov said no don't make any
protests
so here he is on one hand very upset and
livid about what the rebels said
and naturally what the satmirs would do
would make these protests
and the sacrament that in charge of the
sacraments who
gave the shita you know they call it the
sheeta the the movement the philosophy
he says no what do i
what do i take from this story that i
was told
what i take is that you know he was very
careful
in in in
using um public
the public for
his sheetus and in fact
just to go to another story in 1970
again there was some issue i forget with
eretz israel with israel
and there was an outcry and
has some sacrament on their own
made a protest at the u.n
the sama rebel was already had a major
stroke in
68 in 1968 but he recovered
relatively speaking he came out
you know and and you know he wasn't the
same but
and they told him that the group of
soccers protested at the u.n
when he heard that he got very upset and
he said
i want you to find out all the names of
all the people that were at the protest
it was a small protest and i want you to
publish their names
on a document and i want you to hang it
on the front
door of the main basement in
williamsburg the stop mushroom
williamsburg
and you are to write in large black
words
these people are forbidden to come into
shul until they ask for forgiveness
for doing this without permission
so here's a second story in which
the the same satmar whose pro
protests penalized
these people until today i met you
talking about 1970
it's uh 50 years later i met people who
remember
the note on the door and it caused such
a big ruckus in williamsburg and they
and you know the soccers they don't
capitulate
if they they go out with full force
and they did not let those and some of
those people are alive and you know
today i guess they're accepted already
but but what i'm saying is so why am i
saying this i'm saying this
when you talk about making sure glottal
a gate
offense around the tata and you talk
about
uh you know these type of things
there were individuals some more than
others and this
i think in my humble opinion assata
rebel was one of them on the issue of
israel
he didn't really mean everything that he
said that's not
what he really he was afraid in other
words
i i don't believe that he was against
jews going to the castle
he he no he he went
before excuse me he went before the
state became a state
are you sure look i heard he went at
three o'clock in the morning
he went three o'clock in the morning i
heard something this was 19
late 60 maybe early 70s he went
like one day when 68 he wasn't in israel
he was a stroke patient so
the dates are wrong he was an artist's
role in
in the 50s in the 40s and 50s
um in the 60s i think he was there once
or twice i don't remember
so so i i don't know about that i have a
book by a professor here right here
uh and maybe i'll take a look uh later
to you know
uh because he i saw he has a picture
of someone who looks from from the back
like the satmarov
so he he he he has that picture in the
book and he says it's him
but that's from pre-state i never heard
that he went after but
i will check anyway the point being
whether he did or didn't
that that he had issues
with with zionism um
contradicting torah law that
and in order not to get to there he put
a fence
around the whole concept you follow and
and and and so we have others
i'm not saying all uh excuse the
expression radicals were this way
but this concept is found in ghazal
torah okay so moshe we're talking about
this because the rabbi here says the
frida krabbe talks about
hatharim a heter and i
said that in in in smith school they
taught us that
a good love is not someone who can be
massimo but someone who can be mako
but but the maker with real solid
support from halakha
to be makel and you know in other words
he's a big eater shamayim
and he finds for whatever reason
sometimes because of a person
sometimes cause of a situation i'll give
you another example
we all know we've spoke about early in
the mimer that you know the wasting of
seed is a
prohibition and an issue with all that
that samarth said
has a chuva and the rebbe cites it in in
his letters
that if if he if a husband and wife are
having a hard time getting
the wives having a hard time getting
pregnant and they need to
you know have
semen to to use to to try to
become they're allowed to in that case
that's a very big kiddish because you're
talking about
an issue you're talking about an
instrumentative wasting of semen it's
not
it's not uh you know small change
and that's samathik who was a plasik
anakunis
at his time and his time he was from the
leading
post kim that all the lit that see
them everyone came to him
raphaim sansa the divi writes to him and
and you see the titles he and he writes
to his children that
that the samadhik is going to be going
him and he
you know and at the time there was a
going shabbat during them the
divrijhayam of sans
right and and his respect for the
mercedes because in the field of
vagueness he was
he was a plastic adder and the same
traumatic
is not here they for for
the possibility of getting pregnant this
this and that besides it
to different people what what do we what
what do i see from this
what i see is that a it's on the
shoulders
of the zamasutic just like a moisture
feinstein
what was everyone you know you know
talking about moisture that mushy had
brought shoulders
he took upon himself that the hardest
shyless
that rabban didn't want to pass him they
were afraid
simply afraid because you know they
could not come up with what they felt
is a a fine hetero so what did they do
they sent to that moisture
and a moisture made a ruling whatever
his ruling was
and many times he was makel and that was
criticism that he got
from different communities because they
felt he was a makel
you know but he was a maker he was a man
a place that got done a massive talmud
yes and he made that decision
and that's why we went in so what we
find is
that who are the
the the real rabbanim are people who
have and do make coolest for certain
situations
when it's warranted but otherwise
otherwise
stay away from hectatin because hetatium
that's what we're learning here it it it
develops this is the point it
desensitizes you and you're very
flippant on on many things
that's that's the problem and and
and if you think about it you'll see it
in your own lives i see it in my own
lives
yes yoni uh you were talking about the
the santa revo you brought
a story yeah i'll tell you another
partner told me when he was well
he told me the story and my father grew
up on 125th
taylor street it was directly across the
street from the
lava from the sacramento right so
there was one night a big commotion
in the middle of the night like one
o'clock two o'clock in the morning the
police had to come
what happened a bunch of the osaka
rappers khasid and broke
into the saga riva's house
and they broke into the house and they
broke oh they didn't steal anything
they broke all the mirrors in the house
because of the rabbit scene because she
liked to put she put herself together
you know she would wear like
you know nice clothing but they didn't
like it but they went against their own
rugby
that's what was so crazy you know so so
yeah
i know of the story in fact i i might
have even put it into the book
but your father actually saw it
i saw it and heard it he said he police
came he went down you know he was a
teenager
it's it's a it's it's a famous story in
the community here
that story that they broke and it's been
written about that they broke the
mirrors
yeah my father looked too smoothly to
remember the story when they went when
the khabar khan see them came to
williamsburg
oh that's yeah that was 1977. yeah
yeah janice and you were there
you're innocent you're on mute
he's on muse he doesn't okay
we'll go on anyway so
you were there did you get any did you
get any garbage thrown at you
or any dirty diapers
[Music]
you know years ago i was at in um
david and i went down to uh schleimer's
de brigade
over there where the bartender is buried
you know right outside of the
the old city or in the old city whatever
it is and uh i got a rock thrown at me
from
an arab and i came back to my bella
bottom in california i think was 1989
and i said guys i'm the happiest person
i was thinking to get a rock thrown at
me
for visiting the yiddish place so you're
interested
to get an egg thrown at you for coming
to cro
boys bert to spread torah
anyway let's continue so on page 185
bottom of the page towards the bottom
and he says
it's uh three six lines from the bottom
towards the end of the line
the heinough big goof so we find when
the soul descends into a body
but what happens
what happens is that that the soul
the soul was very religious and very
froomed and very careful
it comes into a goof oh this takes me
and this this and this bothers me
so i'll be mature there's not be matter
that okay
now he goes back to the opening verse of
the mimer
you remember we learned in the beginning
that what will bring
the healing for all of these various
maladies who are you today
that's through your own light
your own essence he'll explain a little
more later
then at the dawn time the light
of the dawn will break through
the beginning you know ask me when
your essential light
yes hillary and this is the plastic we
began with
yeah yeah it's the latter part yeah
so he says the
the beginning you know asks me when your
essential light
shines through the result
it's a healing for the summer for the
nephesh
and when will this healing be maheda
it'll be immediate
but that's as long as you have the
iratsumi so look what he says next
om nom however guillotine
this revelation of the essential light
depends
what the verse says before
which is look further
share of your bread to the hungry with
the hungry
number two vanilla team and downtrodden
poor people tell the voice bring them
home
number three
you will see the naked clothe him
and number four um
and from your own flesh later silent
don't hide remember
to take care of your own as well
next page top of the page 186.
these four things as he's going to
explain the next chapter
are four different methods of
serving hashem
if you have to put them all in one word
it's chuva
you know we don't think of we don't
think as feeding the poor as truva
yes i i hillel don't get the
four i got three grasslands
that's two
[Music]
uh when you see the naked because see so
you should
dress them oh me and me
okay four is me besides
and we'll see later how he but on top of
186 now he says look
if you want to put him into one word
it's truva
but moshe usually we don't think of
feeding someone a meal as chuva
my truth he's hungry and i give him food
he doesn't have clothing or it's torn
clothing and i buy him a suit
right then the point is
what's the nakuda that the rabbit says
that is saying that all of these four
things is not just about being a good
jew
and feeds the poor and dresses the the
naked and
etc and and has a heart for the
downtrodden
but it's your tuva
so if you do proper trooper in these
four ways
you're gonna get an immediate response a
fedex
an email a zell today the money comes to
you
in a moment anywhere right um
rushed quickly i'm waiting for a fedex
it got lost in germany so
this is learning i should get my package
says that but this comes to teach us
the manner and the the content
and the manner of trufa leviathan
oh very good this comes to clarify
a mistake that we make what's the
mistake
shaykh is when we think the ikara
the primary aspect of truth is
it's punishing your body
not sleeping on a bed sleeping on a hard
mattress
heart some people like that today but
whatever overtime and fasting
again this was more common years ago
i don't think there are many people that
do this today but the ideology is still
the same
chuva reduce your eating reduce your
sleeping
in other words kind of uh
punish your body in a way it says that
but no that's not the primary aspect of
trouba
look what he says he's talking about
that's what it means meaning what he's
talking about the suffering part like
um he's saying means the suffering
of the body yes
what is it look at this word
this is this is primary aspect of truva
regret for what i did in the past number
two
the kabbalah alahaba acceptance
for the future not to do it again
in which asp and which things
and all the four things that we explain
so in other words the four things
of yashaya praised et cetera et cetera
are the tools to implement
the feeling that was supposed to walk
away with which is karate
over the kabbalah allahabad
now so this by the way is discussed at
length and guerrillas
but what but the idea and it's based on
the rambam
what what we're learning is that this is
goofing
i mean the fact is it talks about
sigufin punishment you know not giving
into your body's
needs and all that and it talks about um
and talks about fasting we fast you know
several times a year and then there are
people fast for different reasons so
that is what you know whitewashing all
of this no
there are specific times that we need to
do these fast
and and uh and even see goof him at
certain times
although the sheldon the maimonides he
talks about if
if nothing helps that you can't arouse
yourself to do truva
sometimes you need another an extreme
method
but it's the ideology and philosophy
that he says that's the motivator
that's the e-car the anchor is i regret
what i did and i accept that i will not
do it again
that has to be the driving force behind
everything else
that's his point and and the rebbe says
here the previous rabbit says
this this this idea
comes to to exclude a mistake
made by people where they think that
this is the only this is truva no
this is the result of truva truth is
and why does he say it over here and
because
sometimes people think by writing the
check or by fasting they're forgiven
it doesn't work that way you have to
write the check and you have to fast but
it doesn't
it's the it's the drive that's behind it
and that's much harder
both not just
and when we make when we say over it's
it's not just
i regret and then it's like a new have
the new year's resolution
that you break in a week or two you know
what i'm saying or even
that we take out of our brain or a
kiddish and it lasts for a week or two
or three and then we
hope is what moisha did you know what
maisha did
he started to come to the sheer in
reality
it puts everything else that he's had to
fear
not that he had to do true if anything
like anything specific
but i'm saying talk is cheap
yeah yeah talk is cheap all of us it's a
it's cheap when you have to commit
yourself to something and you make a
commitment whatever it is
and and to yourself like he shared
yesterday with his story with his
brother
that that is kind of that's all over
and the same is true with with bali
trouba again going back to my writing
about bali chuva
herota lover is is a mainstay
nevertheless if if someone
gets down on themselves and and and says
well
i'm not genuine because i hadn't
gotten rid of it from the depth depth of
my heart
the answer is you're like all of us
we're like all the same we work and
struggle and we do our best
you understand so so to go and say
my harata is not true
it depends if you use your character and
you're a hypocrite
and you continue consciously doing the
no good whatever that may be
then yeah then then you're you'd haven't
done
kharata but if you really did kharate
from time to time you fall into fall in
it's like you're talking about the
alcoholic who stops drinking from time
to time he has a breakdown and he
and he takes a drink and you know
is he a faker no he tried his best
and it's a very hard addiction to break
for such a person
and and we need to understand that this
is the way the traitor
gives us room to exist and breathe
so the rabbit says as long as you have
and you really mean it and kabbalah
then your trooper is a true trooper and
and
and and the way to prove it are these
four things that he's going to talk
about in the upcoming
chapter anyway i wish you all a
marvel club on behalf of my new grandson
