Maamar Choviv Adam #3-Four names for a Human: Meaning and Purpose

okay so uh we're on the mimer uh that was said by the previous celebrity in america in 1940 shortly after he arrived khabib adam schneider with the second paragraph of the miner and the last idea that he explained and how it's related to the the mimer is that when the mishnah says it's a mission named elvish beloved is man who was created in the image and after that it says extra special love is known to him that that was created in the image seemingly it's superfluous it's repetitious that explains no it's not one refers to man in general adam in general and one refers to israel the jew and once he mentions adam once he mentions man he then go explains the whole idea of a name and as you'll see in today's chapter that will begin how the flow continues and what he said yesterday is that there are four versions to a person's name the shame the shame and the shame the essential name the name of the person that is the person that is the mode the vessel the instrument that draws the vitality of godliness into the person and as i mentioned yesterday the importance of calling someone by their jewish name because that brings life to them in all situations and therefore it's important to use the name parenthetically i remind myself a friend who already passed on may have a illuminated the paradise garnet he he stopped the rabbit once and he said my sister doesn't have a jewish name that ever turned to him and there ever said what's your sister's name how she called now karen that ever turned back to him so let her be called what let her be called karen [Music] what yeah karen is uh i'm just telling you my sister hoya this is in brooklyn in the 1980s you know it's not eric's role and that right on the spot said let her be called kevin the idea of a jewish name is a very very important thing and it has an impact in a person's life present past present and the future anyway so that's called shame tohar the next thing is shape so that's called shameless the next thing is shame torah means like an image what do you mean what does that mean in other words is the person a a large person a small person a description okay let's use a better word a descriptive name it's not the actual name of the person but it's a description of the person then comes point number three the shame shame happens what does the person do are they a doctor or their lawyer or a taxi driver are they a rabbi rebbie what do they do that's shame i'll tell you a shame shame and finally the fourth is shane mckinney your nickname and i i mentioned yesterday in the old country people were called you know no i'm sorry people in the old country were called by the the you know field that they're in let's say you only mentioned it right he was a uh a shoemaker she was called would that be shame or shame a nickname would that be considered a nickname or would that be shame happy name after his activity i would think you could say that's called shame upola not shay i mentioned that the previous rebbe in the letter that he wrote a year after he was liberated in 1928 you based thomas he wrote he was right incarcerated in 1927. he was miraculously based thomas he was actually saved his life was spared and he was let go and what what what was the um the year later he wrote a letter he wrote a letter i'm teaching now he wrote a letter and in the letter in the letter he he he he writes that the letter is written to call us the letters written to every single jew regardless of who the jew is it's written to them um it's written to them as long as they are called the jew that's shame it's not their name it's not their description it's not their it's not their activity i'm not focusing on the on the ish part now is sir we're talking about the yahoodi part who are you now let's go to chapter two and see how he continues is says that there are four different cinnamons to you to the to the to to man to a human being how we say how we call it in hebrew adam adam ish man gather man and those men four different words to the same idea well at least it seems that way the odd um comes along considers and says that they aren't for exact same they in hebrew they all refer to a human being but they really reply something different about the about a person a different aspect of a person adam who the myla me mikulam adam the name adam is above all the others the last name the anush the name for a human being that's called energy they complained to hashem and they said why are you creating men what did they say is what is man that you remember him stop they say to hashem what what do you need these human beings they're a waste why do you bring them to the to your mind so this is the end of the of the phrase right avrom do you recall when we say this phrase uh yes sir it's a correct and when do we say it i'm testing your memory so you said you had a great memory don't have a good memory i'm being sarcastic ahead anyway it's no that's uh it's one of the ten verses on rosh hashanah in the music we say ten verses of zechariah's right ten verses 10 verses of rice 10 verses of zechariah's one of the verses of this verse because we we choose verses where hashem is identified with zika with memory okay this that ever saying the previous rebels now and in this verse into healing to denote his disgracefulness or his low um essence meaning to say this is man as man is not in a favorable way this is the worst of man when you use the word anish you're identifying with the worst aspect of of man when a man behaves that way and and what are we saying to hashem he doesn't say it here but on rosh hashanah in in music we're saying hashem remember this man too because you created this man so if you didn't want to make such a man don't create him and if you did create him remember him for the good okay but that's but the word the the previous rabbit it brings this verse to teach us that the word english which means human being refers to the lowest aspect of man and adam the first of the four names refers to the highest aspect of man and he says because the word and the name denotes weakness halash weakness who commissioned kosovo says okay who the the heart is like twisted of everything and and he's and he's weak the energy so in that verse clearly the word the energy implies weakness the peters what is the meaning of this is a rhetorical question i've run he quotes now another verse which means son of man which means man the human being who is manchester city that i should remember him wait a minute what's the implication in this verse that man is worthless what's so you know man is not special and what's the word used here not announce but other and i and and the rebbe is asking on himself i thought we just said that adam is the highest form of man the best form of man and if that's the case what's the question daniel you follow the question or not i don't know if the change in location has interrupted your wi-fi right i i i it's nothing i could do but i could have said i'll say it over again the question from the verse of van otten is because the the implication is that even adam which supposed to be the highest form of that man is worthless and that's why the question is why should i remember him so the rebbe's asking the rhetorical question of himself i just told you that of them is the highest and of them would be a virtue and if i want them as a virtue that's why it's worth mentioning and the first question is why do we mention of them seemingly other managers are the same low lives here comes there is the retort to this rhetorical question mosquito answer is there are times when the word adam is also referred to when we're talking about someone who's disgraceful and embarrassing in other words overall it's true that other is what when you're comparing all four to each other adam is the highest the best but if sometimes when you're not making that comparison and you use the word adam in a verse and it's on its own and the situation is a not a good situation whatever whatever context of the verse is of them is also used for disgrace that's that's his response no it's it's not a contradiction to what the four names are you would think that you have to always that any time the word adam is mentioned in tanakh it refers to just a great situation the rebbe says no the possibility implies otherwise nevertheless the name enrich is not comparable to the name of the shame of the mushema my liver manager the name of them is a name of quality and the name enrich is a name of disgracefulness so in other words the rabbit stands by his position that overall this is a truism adam in comparison to any of them is virtuous mala it's a shame of milo and ano is a name denoting disgracefulness are you guys uh hearing me or or or or not because the computer's free is freezing up every two minutes on you put on your mic i want us to hear you yes sir it's not coming yeah you were frozen for i don't know what to do i just don't know what to do so that's where you dropped off right uh and then um the shay mother mashem of my liver shame and there's shame regarding the verse where it says and what is man what is a man worth that he should be remembered who kid the mechanic betrays us as tasters makes the difference entrepreneurs himself makes that difference and he says there is ben adam and there is banaya ben means the son of man banaya that means the children of men plural the other mushema myla adam is a virtuous name israel and this is the name israel the name of a jew is called that's called israel commission the verse says you are adam you are man so it's explained at them you jews are given the title of them and not the other people not the other nations however this is all from texas i believe well then adam when it comes to the wording in tanakh where it says son of man ben adam hakavana binay that's a reference to the children of adam the first man the shame but they are the nicholas that's a reference not only to jews but that's a reference to all of the speaking species all humans non-jews as well more specifically the four names that the human species is given is there are two divisions we're going to take now what we learned earlier the essential name and the descriptive name and put him into one category and the other two the the the activity name and the nickname into another category and these four names adam ish adam ish haim sheamus atmian these two names are essential names vishnaya they are descriptions they're not essential names and he explains the shamehood on the name adam shame o it refers to the essence the seiko referring to the essence as it's associated with one's intellect so when you say issa the name adam you're referring to a man's intellect the shame ish of rome the name it's the name of the medals the essence of the medos it's not the essence of man it's the essence of a man's character man's emotions we know that a healthy character healthy emotions flow from intellect in other words when a person understands something properly then the needles the in character the emotions are fine me there shall be a meet those that are based on logic and intellect and me there's anushio is they are called human human emotions shaheen min miles ahmedaba which are then incorporated in the virtue of man in other words unbridled medos without any intellectual logical rational guidance are not healthy and not considered a virtue for man so when we talk about ish right the name ish like israel said ish but when we're talking about ish we're talking about a healthy meter a healthy emotion which follows adam which is a healthy mind and that's why the rebbe says will cat put them in one category so adam and each are the two names of the human being of the person which are on the healthy um scale following the pattern this is found in the pattern of the spheres we have the intellectual the chabad and then you have a lower emotional [Music] yes you say yes and no i i i i would say yes generally but no not specifically in other words if you mean that it's following the healthy khabad over meet those you know guiding me those yes but here is he's lumping together emotion healthy emotions and healthy intellect on one side says this is the advantage that the emotions of of of the human species has over is is greater than the emotions of animals the bali animals in the very core essence are baller middles right very emotional they're running and jumping and and then roaring animals are by nature in a way animalistic emotional hanesha and the rabbit gives an example hanesha the old wave the what's the nature again is sir eagle the eagle is merciful and the raven right over everything is a raven also is cruel in other words if you study you know the tendency of these birds you'll see this avolenza nevertheless the the the emotions of the animals are natural the tivian that they're they're by they're natural they're not they're not um imposed that's what animals are the nature of animals is middles is emotions but yes lambs they also have as a subordinate issue intellect in other words well what do we call this what do we call the intellect of of an animal what's the other word for this sir avram do you have any thoughts what instincts yes yes the that's right that's the word i was looking for him a little bit better in addition to the fact that the that the the the seijo the logical part that's there in the animal is associated to their emotions and their nature in levazos additionally their logic is what we call acquired logic in other words they're guided by nature and in order to justify the nature they have some form of instincts intellect rationale rationale but it's all coming as a justification to their very natural self which is emotional emotional oh he quotes the verse that we say when the navi the prophets calls that you scolds the eden to do chuva before you know your tissue above etcetera we read it yoda cornell the ox knows his master eva's the hamoid and the donkey knows avis be olive the the um the place that what is it called the tr the trough the trough of its master it finds itself there what what is oh okay right in other words what type of yoga an ox knows its master what type of knowledge is that is it knowledge from a mimer from a piece of gemara no it's an instinctual knowledge you give me food i look at you i behave i smile you don't give me food i bite you so we write a famous fable with the cat and the mouse trained me to be a cat train me to be able to deliver the plate of food the cat goes to the to the waiter i want to deliver food i'll train you he trains the cat the cat comes into the room a mice comes along a mouse comes along and runs and the cat drops the food but i thought you were trained until i saw a mouse why because velvet by by nature the mouse the the the cat is an animal an animal's needles a man up on an animal's comfort zone is emotions so as soon as something disturbs its emotions it kicks back to its its its natural self its emotions so you could teach you for the day to tomorrow when the mouse comes into the room and i'm scared i dropped the food that's that's the way that evan's explaining here that's what he says when it's when when when the prophet says right even the ox knows its master right that's part of right he's saying it but it says that even the the the ox knows its master that knowledge is a subordinate knowledge it's not the essence of an ox continuing she the the awesome the knowledge and recognition that animals have urac it's only from the perspective of their nature li iso why is that because since they are raktivian that's who they are natural beings emotional beings what time is it now what's the time hello okay yeah i'm going to stop now and um i'm going to try monday to go give the share from another location because um you know we're having too much freezing issues so heaven it's a special day because we're alive and we're breathing and we're learning hashem should help that everyone should have only surah's tavers and have a great shabbos and we'll see everyone i guess bye bye take the chat
