uh in the mimer hub of adam
which is dated latvia aimer
so it's a day that's associated with la
boheme and next week is a lot better so
that's why i chose the bimer
where i skimmed the third ice the third
chapter
versus the next part of the mishnah
where it says beloved
is israel this refers to an official
kiss
not just to the human soul that every
human being has the human intellectual
soul but to the jewish soul to the
shaman
so his question is
so why is it that the mishnah
prefaces
beloved is man before beloved is israel
before beloved is israel
and since pierce has written to us
yidden
first that you say have even israel and
only afterwards
circle you turn down your your mute
yourself because we hear the radio in
the background
in you the idea is the nixie if it says
the alternative brings this verse in
chapter one of tanya
where it says souls plural it doesn't
say for the shama
it says with the sham
plural on thee i god cease he have made
says the altar burned out in the
previous rabbi cites it here
change stainer fossils this refers to
two souls
that's why the language in the in the
verse is plural
refers to the animal drive on
efficiently kissing the godly drive
shame
they're opposite in their very core
essence
sha nefer shaliki is the
primarily its function is mind is logic
is intellect
although it also has an emotional
component
avo
who's sickly biasing
the core essence of the nephrogenetic
kiss is holy cycle
and the and the emotions are subordinate
an adjunct to the seiko
the hamidah is
lame
how what's the perception
what is the function of middles of
emotions
in the nephili kiss the rapist uses now
a new word which we haven't had before
which is schleimut
the wholesomeness of
if you want seiko we spoke about this
yesterday without using this word so now
we
introduce a new word in regard to the
seiju lamido scenario
if you want the cycle to be mushlam
to be complete and wholesome
it needs a component of needles
if seiko if mind doesn't have a
component of emotions
then that seiko is incomplete
like we discussed yesterday the the the
the abstract professor who completely is
in the world of cycle and there's no
emotions attached to his seiko
or his one particular cycle
comes off looking very strange and very
weird
behind the ancestor
to be wholesome to be muslim
and the word muslim
was used always in a very positive way
if you said about someone
he is a muslim
that was a very high compliment
in other words not only is he one who is
strong in one area but he's strong in
many areas
he's complete he's wholesome
that ebb says here
that we need slamus in seiju
how do we make seiko
if it has a component of me dot of
meters that come along with the seiko
true
those medos are a component of seiko
it doesn't change the fact that the the
the the core essence and and and the
person as he's known is a
balsejo a man of intellect ruled by
intellect but nevertheless there needs
to be a component of middles
but
that becomes in seijo
is only when there is
um the purpose of the component of midot
as they are in seiko
they are muslim they complete um
from the root word ms
and they make truthful
as american
the mind commandment as the sage says
one second
commandment as the sage
there is no
wise person
as someone who's gone through
one second
i'm
okay let's continue
i really apologize i hope it doesn't
happen again it's the connection i'm
having big issues okay so
so the the listen to the the quote he
says the the ghazal say
ain't
bala
you know we talk about people being wise
because i'll say if you didn't go
through the experience which means
if you didn't go through the test
the trial the tribulation you're not a
you're a big good speaker you have a
gift of the gab and you can aspire and
you can talk but if you didn't live
through it
you're not
a friend of mine always said
that anyone that has a number on their
arm you can ask them for a bracha
don't ask them how religious they are
don't ask them how not religious they
are if they had if they went through the
the camps and the nazis and maximum
they they already they already paid
their dues you can ask them for a broker
right someone who lives through an issue
that individual
is already
why because he had the sayon let's
continue
because it's the wisdom
that
withheld with stood stood for him
with sacrament of apollo to correct
issues but
middlesbrough
experience
gives you the ability and gave this
individual the ability to correct his
middles and his conduct
but if you didn't have then his soyun
then
push comes to shove you never know
how the person will act a famous story
with a a rabbi forget his name in the
seventeen hundreds rabbit steins also
would always repeat this
it was a famous person
who was known as a as a rav there
in poland somewhere
and someone came to him and said and he
was a businessman too he had business
the business was the lumber
you know cutting having the lumber cut
and sending it down the river and that's
how they began building houses and
things railroads
was very successful
so the person was learning the gamora in
brachas
talks about you know to ben to thank
hashem
not only when things are obviously good
but even when things are seem bad you
should thank hashem it's gemara of
course
so the person said to to came to the rav
and he said rabbi i i don't understand
this because um
you know just the other day i lost a lot
of my money and how am i supposed to
deal with it and
so the ref said what do you mean it says
in the casal and you have to believe and
you have to have been talking
well a day later he came to the rough
and he says i have to let you know some
news
but your logs that and all of your
business that you you know that you do
there was a terrible uh flights of
flights it means a um storm
and
all of it got lost and got
burnt
ruined and
you lost all your money
and when he heard that he collapsed on
the spot
and he woke up he said to him i thought
you told me it's a good morning
and what's the big deal
you know
when it happens to you
then is the test do you withstand the
test or not
and that's why the other story they tell
over the
the the city gesture and the sugar in
their right
everyone comes to the city square to
have a good time to see how he makes
himself crazy and there's one person
standing there
who's crying and he says why are you
crying he says because that's my son
in other
words when you when you look at someone
else you could laugh and joke
but when you know it's your own son your
own child
it's not funny
it's real and kabbalah
okay sometimes you go to a lecture in
this way they're pontificating and
they're dashing and they're saying and
it should be this way in that way
did they go through it
and then you can have someone else that
has no crowd coming and he gets and he's
asked to speak
and everywhere that comes out is is
shattered his torn is hurt
because he went through it
it's real and
can balance saying
so the rabbit says here
the meadows listen to the point the
meadows
are the balhani soyon for the seiko
you can be so bright and so articulate
it's all seiju but if you didn't have if
you don't have the media's component
to express that brightness and that
seiko
your cycle is worthless
it's not real it's in the world of
psycho has nothing to do with the real
world
that's why the embassy
and he uses another word which i love
it makes the cycle true
because we all know there are people who
are gifted with seiko and you don't know
if what they're saying is true or not or
in fact you think you know that what
they're saying is narushki
but they can explain and they can speak
well and they can everything
and they take you for a ride and they
mislead people and it's happened before
and it's happening now and it's going to
happen
a smart person knows they say
that demonstrate
the teachings of that say ho
then that cycle is authentic
and if not that seiko is still
questionable and could actually be
bad
wrong
no good
te zaru be careful
and this is true in our life
ain't
on the side
is that used in contemporary hebrew in
modern hebrew uh
it seems like a great word to know i
know it seems like a radio i i'm not the
expert here in modern hebrew maybe
someone else knows i i i i don't think
so i haven't heard it but uh i never
heard it yeah but uh
it's certainly worth the revival yeah
yeah it it is it is certain words
classifies users
uh not just capacity the citizen general
are are worth her revival it's like we
got we got to put them on tick tock
somehow we'll get the word the my optos
on tick-tock and everyone will be
jumping up and down anyway
going back to
our our appointed hand
godly soul is an intellect in its very
essence
and the nephew
is primary meters
so in other words
although we said what we said a moment
ago the importance of middles to be met
to to certify
that the seiko is right and proper
nevertheless let's not confuse seijo
middles
that's what it says
now he's talking about
middles
although middles must also have a
component of seiko in it
in addition to the shackle that is
applicable to meters their seiko
in other words i wish to justify and
explain
what i want
so by someone who's about me those it
begins with me those
and seijo is just a subordinate tomidos
so in other words if i have a certain
feeling
and i would not and i don't associate
any logic to it
i'm like an animal
so i say i don't want to be like an
animal so i will find justification to
what i want so moisha
what drives that person the want the
desire the middle the emotion
a child right you're in your child
i want this i want this i need this i'm
going to have this
and from there
you say well my my mother and my father
are not going to give me the money for
this because i can't go there so i have
to make up a cockamania excuse excuse
the expression to why i should get this
to why i should have this
and they come up with a plot and guess
what not only children do it but we do
it
also so the amount of cycle in that
scenario
is subordinate to the meters that's what
he says here look inside
the hover master of life
the amount of sacral used there is to
explain to understand why this is good
for me
and to intellectualize and to
smart myself
with
eich
to justify how to attain hadavarahu the
item that i want
to find
these tricks
deceptive ways
to increase my wealth
amass my my mass
my mass
masses and and wealth the doula and
greatness covered in honor of kai
governor so
there are people that are driven by
honor
they must be honored they feel they're
nothing unless they're honored
but if they come into the show and
they'll say maisha prawn give me master
why because i am a big shot i am great
mike lebron will tell him uh my friend
someone already scheduled her mouth dear
and um i can't give you master really
much would like to say
you know hey you know you're such a bad
guy that you don't deserve after but
moisture is too nice
and he's they're doing the right thing
as a gabai
you want to you know
keep the peace in the show so you tell
him it's already taken
but this person
won't stop
won't stop if he sees he can't get
motion to give it to him he'll go to
another goblin and he'll have one guy by
pressure pressure the other god by and
if it doesn't work he'll go to the rabbi
and if it doesn't work the rabbi he'll
go to the bellabot and we'll give big
money to the show
and he'll concoct all kinds of ideas why
he deserves mouth there
why because he's driven by honor he must
have that honor he must stand on the bmw
and everyone should hear him
if you give him a little shv or a little
hog my little galila he says
nothing
and if you think i'm making this up this
is real life my friends i don't know if
it's real life in the in ash kodish but
it's real life in many places
i've actually seen people storm out of
shulls because they weren't given the
right honor from their perception
right so this is honor that drives the
po
what we're giving aliyah
yeah
so
this is this is this is
a a a a need that this person has
because he's a palmidos the media that
that talks to him is honor
and so is true with other types of
middles okay
so that evan says
the person
has to have some kind of argument why
should i give you laughter if the other
person already has them after it's
scheduled to have master
so he'll find something out i'll say oh
he didn't go to the mikk for today
how could you give him an aliyah he
didn't go to the mikveh if you're
talking about nakasik
he didn't learn hassanas before davenink
he doesn't have a beard
ah
you know he doesn't wear a guy tool
going to the moonkacha schule in
that little
crummy that little dilapidated building
where they found over there that uh
molester so hiding over there which i
met too when i was there in
right so
there used to be guidelines on the wall
and the guideline says very clearly if
your wife doesn't
cover her hair with a tickle you are not
allowed to go to the omit
or to the show where my son is uh rob in
in tel aviv on
right that show was started in 1939 and
44 when they got out and they saved they
survived they continued in tel aviv
it's called kasam
when it was in that when they were
diving there had a prominent rabbi and
there was a i saw it because when my
son-in-law took over the show was it was
given the show to make it into something
because it was close for 15 years full
of dust and schmutz and everything
i was in there that was that russia and
i happened to be there so i helped him
with the minion i darvened and whatever
and blow the shelf or whatever so i saw
the sign
the sign was still up
and the sign said clearly if you shave
during the three weeks you cannot go
over to the oven
i saw it
they were han hockeys
that was their day in other words
the the the ashkenazim were not against
shaving
but if you shave during the three weeks
right
you can't go to the other
so in other words
someone will come up with all kinds of
reasons
i have a beard he doesn't have a beard
how could you give him mafia this is a
hasidic shoe it's not you know you
you're wrong gaba you're really not
right whatever that anyone will make up
all kinds of excuses narushka right
yeah it's not your business you're not
the gabba you're not the rabbi and and
and that's not one of our min hug him in
the shoe
if it was if it became a minute and the
rabbi substantiates it okay but that's
not so that's it
the point being is that when you when
you're about middles
whatever you meet there is you are going
to you're not going to stop till you get
your way and you're going to use
seijo to find justification
and it's a very devious and this happens
often
where people concoct all kinds of ideas
smart ideas and what's at the core
is bad is evil
is is is wrong is ego
that's at the core
but they don't want to say that to you
because they look bad
so they
and yet this is the word bob puts him
means
um you polish they polish themselves
they make a nice facade
and they come up with a great excuse
yes he will
i've got a good story about this um
please
uh the uh the old tone the river of
yochanan
used to go to the basis wheel of gear
first for akafos
and in gere like many of the polish
ubuntu they had a little safer torah
that only the rebels would would dance
with right
and so uh when when the tallner river
walked in
the uh the gerber handed him this safer
torah and to dance with and uh
so um
one of the one of the hasidim that went
to the rabbi
and said uh you know rabbi i can
understand if
only the rebels if only uh if that's all
that's safe for tories only for the
rebels but if you're going to give it
out there are other people here who are
who are worthy of that
uh to dance with that safer terror the
beaches will answered him and said that
safer torah can only be held by somebody
who knows they're not worthy to carry it
very good
and since you mentioned gare i remember
the stories
that uh someone wouldn't wasn't wearing
the strimo you know they it was a
moderator it was a gareth hustle but he
came from the europe and
and uh
he decides that everyone's coming to
give shulam you know you come to the
rebel to give shulim
you can't say how could he go by the
rebel without his triangles he puts on a
spot if the garrow wears buttocks
he go now he feels good now that ebb is
going to see him with his body he'll
enjoy it and he comes by and then ever
says to him
afraid of him
come on
just putting on the striper you all of a
sudden you changed
but he had that need to be accepted you
know so it comes in all forms of shapes
and um
we all have our issue whether it be
honor or
ego or or wealth or or or we want people
to feel we're compassionate
it you know the point being as it goes
back to the mind here is
that the seijo
justifies
the media
the emotion
that's sacral of rome is subordinate
it's a component it's not pure intellect
this person is an emotional person
and by the way since we always talk
about about relationships it's true in
relationships too
people sometimes fall into mistake or
they think that they want to marry an
emotional person they want to marry an
intellectual person and what they don't
realize is that it could be that that
emotional component or that intellectual
opponent is not who they are it's just a
subordinate and then as life goes on you
find out hey
i thought i thought they were emotional
and that's what i was looking for i
thought they were intellectual and
really in that you know what i'm saying
and that's not there because
there was a misassessment in who they
really are and they picked up only on
the kids and the superficial and that
began and that spoke to them and then
when things get uh you know tough and
and and the real self comes out
and the real self could be the person's
cold or a person's warm you know and all
that and and we have this we have this
in the in in breakups and relationships
i'm sure you know hillary could talk
much more about it but that that's a
problem
where you misassess the person now
in a wholesome marriage where there's
real
other real love and it's based on
torrent and and commitment that's not a
reason to to drop a marriage it's a
reason to readjust and see how to deal
with the situation and you can have a
wonderful marriage even if you're
two different people and by the way the
arizo
the reason why he talks about first
marriage second marriage is
not suggesting anyone here second
marriages are not going into them to say
but he talks about it
he says he says it could be that on the
tree of life there it's higher
that two people that are together
doesn't mean they come from the same
source
see people make a mistake they think
bashar equals coming from the same
source that's not what it means but
sheriff means god wants two these two
people these two souls to be together
but guess what it could be your souls
come from different branches of the
eight sky
ah the arizona right
but let's say i mean you hear these
horror stories right you hear people
like my cousin she got married she was
married for a week
it was mama shahara story like and i'm
sure people are like is that considered
to be i mean okay not bashar
but that's what hashem wanted i mean or
maybe the person went against hashem by
doing something stupid
uh you and i are not hashem so we all
dancers we really don't know but one
thing that we do know based on what
torah guides us is that it was
it was from heaven
that they should be married for a week
whether it was for tikkun
who knows maybe that week some tickle
needed to take place between these two
souls
and they needed a certain tickle and
guess what that thinking could be the
divorce
you know you don't want to think about
that but it could be that the ticking
was that they had to get married go
through the the the love you know the
loving scene of harmony of marriage and
then break up because of a past who
knows
but the fact that in other words so what
i'm saying to you is that everything's
been ashamed
so
as you positioned it is yes it's from
heaven
what's the cavanagh i don't know and we
could you know look at different aspects
and these aspects are discussed in in
but only at sadiq who really
knows these things can say can saying
usually does not say you know oh
you went through this because you're the
shaman unless gilgal
was in this situation
and uh
let's say
i'm just going to throw out let's say
you were too much in love
and you gave him too much
and you compromised on your standards
so hashem says i'm going to have them
remarry
later in another gilgal and go through a
breakup to to to atone for that uh too
much love i'm just throwing it out who
knows
or or infatuation or an infatuation for
sure
infatuation for sure
but the question is why is that
infatuation to begin to begin with
so you can go even further why
she'll say well the person made that
decision yes you have free will
but what is it from on high so these are
things that again we look into the cabal
and to the arizal he but the point i
just wanted to make was
that that when we talk about real seiji
it's it's a broader topic you know we re
it's a much broader topic
and it's very important
to
you know in yiddish we say is the word
health and cup
how to means to hold cup your head in
english it doesn't does it doesn't sound
well it means
stay cool
chill don't get flustered
there's an issue here we're going to
look at it and that's what the alizah
when you learn at izal he looks at the
issue
in an objective way in a torah way in a
kabula way
and you know i think i've told you
siblings that argue there is a sibling
rightly that reason says clearly because
they're both nurturing from the same
branch the same source and each wants
more nourishment
how does it express itself and fighting
with each other or sometimes hating each
other
so
so here we're going to go to
psychologists psychiatrists put them on
ad pills and everything and guess what
you're not going to change the situation
doesn't mean you should try you have to
try
you have to try much
but it could be it could be and again we
don't know so you know i remember when i
spoke about these things at a lecture
and actually in the shul and collins the
big show
i think i told you this many many years
ago and uh um everyone was you know it
was a captivated audience and everyone
was interested in listening it was on a
jumpth before minha and one guy i saw
kind of walked out a young guy
and it was noticed to me it was obvious
that something's not right
so after midnight went over them and i
said did i offend you he says yes you
did i said what did i say that i
offended you he says you said that
arizona says that sometimes a second
marriage
is more your soulmate than your first
marriage
he says i got married a week ago
i'm not looking i i don't want to hear
that i said okay i understand
i understand but you you know i i was
giving a lecture on a topic
but you know
so he was right from where he's coming
from and i was right where i was coming
from
but you know
two of us i mean the message that i was
delivering the torah i was sharing and
where it's coming from he wasn't ready
to hear it and i and i really i respect
it the point is when we talk about seiji
limits let's not forget
that there is a primary and an ancillary
a icar and a toefl
and even if you went into a marriage or
you go an employer an employee or a
congregate with a rabbi
the the the intelligent person
is able to sit back and look at the
greater picture
and
yeah maybe the end of the day this
school is not for you
the style of this show is not for this
you know so go to another show
but don't write don't be quick to judge
and say they're bad they're wrong no
you're neshama and your style is very
different
and we cannot for whatever reason we
cannot cater to that but the shoe down
the block can cater because they're that
style some people love ashore as a
balagam
they love for sure where time is not a
time
and you know when things are flying
that's that's that's the way they are
that's where they should be
that person put him in an environment
where shul is very exact and prompt and
and all that
they they get their their fish out of
water and it gets very upset right
so it's important that we have a guy by
here to to to really when people come in
and they're looking for a show i'm just
using this as an example not to pick on
you
um
you know
it's important to understand where
they're coming from what their needs are
etc and the same as in a marriage and
the same as an employee but you have to
know
the background and this is what why we
learned that countries i always go back
to
because if you understand those
principles what he wrote what the
previous endeavor writes over there
you'll have bet we will have much better
relationships because he says where does
this child come from a wealthy home or a
poor home a wealthy community of pork
beauty how is he raised what was the
discipline in the house
you know
you know unfortunately in schools you
know a principal a teacher has so many
students
so he or she is overwhelmed
but i was talking here to my my
daughter-in-law here in florida you know
and one of the children was tested and
and of course
it was very expensive and and
they don't have those funds but it felt
it was necessary
so i asked her now it's you know months
later i asked her you know do you see a
difference she says yeah the difference
is in us and the parents
we now understand
what the way this break the brain of
this child works so we can deal with
them differently and i said that's very
nice but when you send them to school
the teachers and the principals going
along for the ride and they told me and
i was very impressed yes
so the teacher says don't give them a
written exam don't give this this child
a written exam give them an oral exam
and of course you don't do it in front
of others because the other students
will get jealous us you make right the
answers and and this student you you
just question them orally so you do it
privately
but they work with you if they work with
you
that means they they're they're so that
it justified the expense
because then you can help this child and
this student grow
this these are things that when we talk
about sacral and middles that are just
as relevant
if a child is is is by nature about
middles a very emotional child
and you try to discipline them and
educate them using the angle of seiko
you lost that student you lost them
take that same student
and one second motion take that same one
second measure take that same student
and give them the intellectual element
um i'm sorry the emotional element and
they'll thrive and they'll become the
best student
they'll feel a million bucks
and then you have them yes
i was just gonna add that it's
interesting i think we've probably
spoken about this many times
in the course of this year i think it's
interesting that we see
that many times
children and
young people who are struggling the ones
who are struggling
with
we'll just say for this lack of a better
term the ones who are struggling with
yiddish kites yeah
are the ones
who are the most sensitive
yes they're the most
yes and
how they need
they need we see time and time again
that they need
they can't just handle
you know like
cold you know
black and what they need
they need needles they need love
they need understanding
and um
and they need and they need a good hug
from their teacher
for sure
sure and
and that's and that's what i i won't i
will keep on saying it that's what all
the schools need today both
boys and girls schools
and both for children and teenagers
someone was not a rebbe and a rabbi but
like a
you know a friend who
who who is a friend with the students
that will go so far especially for those
students that you identified it'll go so
far
it'll go so far
and and and and it ain't caballon is
saying it's been proven
it's been proven that that such students
became
in the past the greatest people because
someone
loved them embraced them you know didn't
look at their marks you know
played with them took them for pizza
took them for bowling took them to a
ball game went for a walk went swimming
with them just sat and hacked the
chinese you know rapping and talking
about anything
because then they
they
they put their confidence and you become
their confidante
that's what each student needs a
confidant
and when you have a confidant and the
person is a proper confidant
they'll do wonders for them but i i i i
agree with what you said before
that
most times
those that are struggling are more
sensitive
and a good mechanic and a pr and a
parent
who knows what they're doing in
will pick up on that and um
and give them the space
and explain
in a sense in a refined way to the other
siblings
this is what they need and yes you know
it seems like they're getting
preferential treatment and you're not
you know because that becomes an issue
why is he or she
being treated this way and i have to do
it you know the regular way and and and
this is something that uh
um
we really need to inculcate more in our
families and extended families and and
community
um i i think that this is it's crucial
it's crucial
if you want to keep
the kids involved and excited
again they might not be i'll tell you
i'll end with this
when my son was having a hard time
yeshiva at 14 15. so i spoke to an uh
you know a psychologist educator in
borough park uh i think halberstam
ortorsky a prominent name
and another
and i remember i remember exactly where
i was i was laying in my bed and talking
to him
and he said to me over the phone
maybe your son is not cut out to learn a
whole day
and for me where i come from
like what
you know it's like i i couldn't believe
it
you
and who share the same values as i
and we come from the same hasidic you
know environment
you know you're square or chernobyl
but you know
this is our
this is our uh familiar domain
and you know what yeshiva means
and you're telling me
that
maybe
uh
he's not made to learn all day
i remember like i say i i said i can't
believe i'm hearing this
and and it changed but hashem you went
to yeshiva and because it worked out but
i'm just saying
you have to you have to you have to
listen you know and not
you know we were raised a certain way
we're used to a certain way
what's the good what's the community
going to say what's going to be later
what you do him i mean the whole gamut
okay have it up we had a little
fabrication we'll see everyone tomorrow
sorry
take care
bye thank you thank you
