it from a yacht immediately so we're the middle of of an of a concept that's mentioned quite often hasidis and relevant to many other ideas not only in habakkuk but in khasidas in general so it's worthwhile going slow and articulating and discussing and you know if something is not clear or you have a question please ask this isn't uh you know a one-man show this is an interactive i'm serious you know yeah uh that being said i wanted to just mention that um uh this whole idea that uh the tsohar the tsohar and uh the uh in um uh uh in persia's noah the safer balchemtov has a section called amudatsvilla and parshas noah and uh there's a rebbe i've been learning through a safeware uh from the kumara rebbe of um beijamesh that he wrote a beautiful parish on this on that section of the

you know i was expecting to discuss clasitas and he when he heard that my father had been a concert violinist he uh he was that's what he wanted to talk about and he figured he concluded that he might have seen my father perform in like 1962. wow here in israel here in israel my father in the early 60s was kind of premiering a new a new very difficult violin concerto with orchestras and that was sort of his sort of signature work at that time uh and um and uh so he remembered when that was introduced and he uh yesterday i inserted a picture that i wanted to use for a certain section of an upcoming book and i remembered that i had it but it was a rabbi mendel weinbach who was the founder i think of asia terra or one of the founders of of warsaw i remember the name yeah so it said there that in 1953 when rabbi simcha wasserman he was the son of rebel khanna who was simple man in los angeles yes and and so wasserman came to los angeles i think you know in the late 40s and uh in the in 1953 he opened his yeshiva but he opened it in one way and it didn't work and then he changed it another way and then he had yeshiva to into the into the early 80s and then he gave over the yeshiva to chabad i learned in that yeshiva called okay he literally gave it away as a donation no it's not a joke it was on kings road give you the history you know and believe me it was worth a lot of money

through this yeshiva because now the name carries who was a little shady and uh and it's in one name i remember that was a very famous secret and that's when the yeshiva started in 78. so this repsimcha but the yeshiva started in 53 so when it started in 53 he needed bukhari you know you want to get a yeshiva off the ground you need some real buckler so terrifidas in brooklyn was kind enough and because they got it from rap shrogger fighter mandalovich who was like the main main person that of the yeshiva for years until he passed away in 1940 in 1948 so his philosophy was don't hoard your treasures you have good bakarim you have good rebbies spread them out it was it he was mama's legitimate you know you i don't wanna i you know i know a lot of these players and a lot of people sorry these are the shiva's and everyone is like you know my bucker and my student and my rep and i'll pay him more i mean okay and there's a philosophy behind it i want to go into it i'm not

and you see rapshmo kaminsky the reshiva of the philadelphia shiva sitting right next to him because he came to be the masjid was the receiver you know for the buccaneer and it's a very it's a one-of-a-kind picture most most most people never saw this picture it took me a long time to get a hold of the picture anyway so where is mendel weinbach i don't know i don't know so i'm putting it in and i'm letting the readers figure out you know is there anyone left today they must be 80 85 to 90 90 the people if anyone's left maybe i'm just saying you just said earlier about you know sometimes there's something you know you do you don't know exactly who what it just reminded me of that but let's get back to that how did it how did it come about that he donated the shiva to kabat he he was making aliyah he you know he just you know he decided he's going there to throw you know why when where i i don't know those details i think i think i think yakov didn't he open he opened the yeshiva in arizona he opened the yeshiva i think uh but he was leaving you know and you know what you have to understand there was never a very big yeshiva um and uh nothing he you know was an older man he's going to hurt his role and you know khabar is you know all over and rising and strong and young and and and you know he was an amazon man she saw that if it gives it to them they'll they'll do something with it and i could tell you i and you know what they did i forgot to say robert cunanan had the building moved on trailers and i was there it was amazing they moved an entire building from king's row to formosa you know it's like a 20 15 15 minutes by you know 10 10 minutes by car but and they moved it and then they put the building together that that he so it saved them a lot of money in construction uh-huh yeah fascinating yes yes sir yakov what take your yakov we don't hear you now uh i wanted to evan yeah i want to send this knowledge back i wanted to emphasize about revival that it's documented that to his detriment he sent bachram to lakewood and to nearly destroyed they were the nucleus the the bunker that he sent for the nucleus to start liquid and near australia correct for those which would be correct and others correct and i think even yeah maybe even tells whatever he was he was a person that uh he gave and that's a great host very special very special yeah very absolutely okay so before we start the learning the next panic i just want to review what we learned that basically the rep is now going to talk about he spoke about the idea of icy ice letters of the tater and how through their combination they create an idea a concept and an energy so he gave us a very simple example take the word uh sadiq yeah it's all the same letters but if you write it one way it means sarah problem you write it another way it means window right so that ever said that these are what we call the primary letters when you combine them in very in various ways you get definitions and ideas which is the secondary aspect of the letters this this is the concept that he said and and he ended the paragraph yesterday with a beautiful idea to to think about and and hillary said it's brought you know of course in the bolshev in this forum about it hashem says go into the tava come to the table the table the balshemptiv says get involved in the words of davening you know there's so much with davin if you just take a line and and immerse yourself and and stop and think about it get in get in and the same is true with toyota it ever says that brings about highest life vitality enthusiasm energy excitement it's not just lip service and just not you know ashrae is saying your pajamas are half asleep no it's it's it's highest fortunate is the one who can sit who sits in the house of hashem and you think about yourself how fortunate it is that you're able to go to a shoe just a year ago we were locked out and had in our homes and in parks and and now we're able to be in a shoe actually you know how many of us take the time to think about this just being beseja in your home right so the rabbit says when you when you think and you immerse yourself in the icy ice the letters the words of thila and torah and tata it brings caius it brings energy and when it brings energy you shine and you shine not only for yourself but you shine for all others you become like a window sayar tasa la tevo make a window in the table why should you make a window because if the purpose is just to inspire yourself it's not enough but by inspiring yourself you inspire others and and it's so true people gravitate to people that are inspirational and and you don't have to you know do something out of the ordinary just be inspired and people will will gravitate to you like flies gravitating to honey okay so this a concept that ever said as an example this was we're not learning about the tavo not learning gave us an example how from three letters we have three concepts and they all come together and the same is true for all other words in the torah in and and and some and happening it's a matter of finding the idea and in the next chapter which we're beginning now chapter gimbal you'll see another example with another thought that's important so let's begin we're on page ice gimbal chapter 3. to further elucidate this idea shall be will be the concept the intellectual concept and the inner meaning literally that fills them that pervades them and that encompasses them let me give the example that the rabbit gives and let's maybe we'll go back and we'll go back okay tavis are off take the letters of the word the letters of out of base father yes it has its literal meaning in his comprehensible way a father for yeshua but it also has been marshall it has a out a meaning that's greater than itself he says the word hoots me manu outside of itself who must save him excuse me um and that surrounds it encompasses it in other words father is a father who father when father where father that those are all outside of father the reign another example the tavis bow if you reverse out of yet we might say the meaning of the meaning of the word yeah the larger meaning the larger meaning okay fine take the letters not olive bass meaning spelling of but base olive the same letters meaning boy come the hamas memento the larger meaning who mayan book from where do you come and ulianbo and where are you coming to so again come okay where you coming from where are you going to the same who behold it says the same is true for all words she yes that get accustomed with these words they have the meaning what what pervades their meaning their literal meaning and number two umash's save is um what encompasses them as hillary says the larger meaning the greater meaning the implica implication which comes about from the literal meaning and because this is so horizon in kabbalah all over in kabbalah ocean's words are called necrom kalin vessels and he explains just as kale and vessels receive within them what is given to them for yes there are vessels kalim that receive food for yesterdam caleb they receive within themselves liquid and you can make a noise so also regarding words how they hang it cabo there's one aspect to the calendar that they receive the intellectual light the i shall hem those i'm sorry words are a receptacle for an intellectual concept for a concept for your isaiah is and based on how the urchins the word letters are combined kenya so shall be that word so if you have base olive it's book come if you have olive bays it's father so in other words the letters depending on how they're combined become like the particular vessel they're all vessels but what type of vessel they are depends on that sirufi okay what he's dean doing here is beautiful he's taking a concept that's very kabbalistic and he's really uh stripping it down making it so accessible to the to the human brain does this it takes abstract thoughts and dresses them up someone said what's the difference between kabbalah and khasidis kabbalah is undressing god and khasid is dressing him up right let's say it says no toyota the right hand of god so we say the right is it i'm talking about a hand kabbalah undresses the hand in other words it says look at the abstract it doesn't mean a hand that means it that's undressing that's elevating and hasidah says that's true but we have to take that very concept and dress it up so that we living here should understand it and feel it and do something with it so this takes the concept of the abstract concept and makes it accessible practical so really what is it what one second so really kabbalah and casitas are two different two different two different streets two different ways you understand one of the ways i think about this distinction is is that that uh learning cabal is like learning math you know it's it's very uh it seems very numerically based and very and very uh algorithm or formulaic in that sense whereas casitas is much more narrative it's much more uh much more uh you know images and and stories and and things that uh relate seems to relate to a different part of my brain i hear you but i i can't say that i agree entirely because there's plenty of places in cabola that it's not not comatria yeah and not and not the pot what i call the pipelines which pipe goes to which pipe a to a b to b there's lots of that there but but it but but i believe it's much greater than that in the sense of it's an abstract approach to god to god it's it's it's it's it's dwelling in the abstract part of which is you know numbers and and and and hints and and and charts and things like that okay but but again i had to say math and engineering yeah right let's let's go back to the text this is comparable to the blueprints for a house biarca in its length it depends it depends on how many bricks you have and sidra moshe and organizing them okay you're innocent you can have they can put down so many bricks in front of your house the front of your shoe and if you don't organize them in a certain way you ain't having a shoe you're having a barn if that's what they do with the bricks although it's the same amount of bricks but depending on how you organize sidram the arrangement of the brics so will be the bias the building that that is built so in other words the blueprints the blueprints of of of how you you how tall that the building is how wide it is how deep it is depends on the blueprints and it's interesting i told you yesterday about the weather remember and moshe sent out that clip which i encourage you all to watch the the the the rebbe was a supervisor to make sure that the blueprint what the blueprints call for as far as the electrical engineer electrical parts of the ships be correct he checked it he checked it because if if not you can have a fire and destruction and problems so it's the blueprints that determine what the building will be like right so he says so why does he say this dogma why does he use avi this example this dogma because the blueprints is is similar to the letters of the words is it if it's off it has one meaning if it's blood as another mean and also not only is it is that true but of has a meaning also what father which father when father is the greater meaning to of all that's part of the blueprints that that's why that the way hashem creates the world of creation the world of formation of the world of action to tell you it's from the shattering of the vessels of the world of void briefly i told you this yesterday but again when hashem's energy filled the world it was too overpowering so he made it simpson vis-a-vis the tsim tsum the energy um that was in receptacles shattered it shattered then it came in it broke into parts sweetheart that's upside down but symptoms before the tsumtsum there was the shredder caleb of toyo toyo means chaos and void because if you pour too much liquid into a cup and it overflows it overflows or if it's too hot it might shatter the the glass of the vessel well in this case it was too chaotic and it caused chaos the toyo should have spotted kabbalah says yakov what mispar do from the word period what separated what shattered and and and and separated the icy ice the letters of toyo again icy ice is is synonymous to the kaelin okay so don't don't get frazzled by the word oysters to tell you what i mean the letters of tell you the kaelin the vessels of toyo that's why we just learned all about above that oysters are kaelin so the vessels of toyo couldn't handle the energy or in simple english it had a nervous breakdown that's what happened the cosmic a conscious nervous breakdown cosmic nervous breakdown it was too much air yeah you know we laugh at it but i i know and probably you guys also know i know someone who was learning in the kleisenberg you know they have uh kleisenberg and he made a uh a program called mifal hashas to study the shas either in the three years two years i forget the details and he paid he paid the students money to learn shots and to learn and to know it shock levitaria by heart now that's a big that's a that's that's a very big job and i know a student who had like a a genius mind photographic memory and never you know he had a sweeter he didn't sleep much he didn't eat much and he had a breakdown so you know there's all kinds of breakdowns and that ever says here that in a way the cosmic nervous breakdown as hillar put it that's the beginning of all breakdowns and we call that toyo it's not normal it's not what hashem wants hashem wants that everyone said by of her brain in 1983 owners to tell you the lights the energy of toyo the tail in the ticket you hear that in the vessels of tickle yeah we want you to be passionate we want you to be driven but it has to go through the channels of ticking if you go through the channels of toyo the energy of toyo is going to shatter the receptacles of toyo they can't handle it okay by the way hilo this concept i believe could be developed into today's psychology and social work because uh there are people that you know i'm saying this is something that could be used anyway with the whole concept of of fears of caleb you're picking up on good things yaakov you you smell you know they say are saying but hasidim has a good a good sense of smell so i see the yaakov that you're you're a deep hussain you have a good khusha raya he i just mentioned passing the secret he it cornered me on it what happened is in 1983 rabbi kyun of los angeles the head of the chabad he was the big debt and as that was because chabad from 67 766 when it came till then would give out freed filling not charged tuition you know you know it was the hit it was the hippie days post hippies and and you know even today the membership is not the icar but i'm just saying it was really and and cudin he did so many things for yiddish guy and he didn't worry about the money he went to raise the money and he raised a lot of money but but he gave and it it it came all crashing down it came all crashing down and uh he was 17 million dollars in debt a lot of money he was in new york and the red bat the fabrega i believe was your gimbal tishrei the rebbe marasha's yard site the fourth rubber of shmuel made of habrengan which was like an era of circus fabrega and suddenly spoke about he spoke about that the rebel mirage has a famous slogan which in english we say means over the top you know just go for it don't don't try this and try that and if you don't succeed you go to the right to the left to begin with jump over a ribber over the top so the rabbit said although this is a true teaching and an important teaching in life in in in family in torah and everything nevertheless it doesn't mean in a way of toyo in a way of chaos because if it's done in a way of chaos it brings chaos and it shatters and that's what happened until you yes which is a pretty good description of the 60s yes yes well rabbit cuda is a 60s product i mean he was a la baba chance yeah that's what i'm saying yeah but you know his whole mindset was you know 60s that that's when he was central in 1966 to 69 bringing in the hippies into into the hungarian shoes in los angeles they wanted a shooter and they said get out of here and and you should know that story was in a story he had a lot of problems and robert reichik his superior who was there from 49 for the frida karenba he related they the hungarians related and they looked at him as like assadic rubber right chick and they came complaining to him and he told robert kuden you know you know i understand what you're doing but these are hungarian jews they don't understand little ponytails uh you know smell and and and torn pants they they don't understand this or you're coming into a shoe shabbos like that you can't bring him here and um and the rebber basically told him he has to listen to rabbi raichit and that's when he went and opened up in 1969 the khabarovs at ucla first he was in fairfax first he was amongst the hungarians but but he couldn't move anyway so this rabbit yes what your tai chi you're touching toyo is chaos as far as i recall his emptiness do we say that because emptiness is happier that's chaos okay it means void void no emptiness emptiness okay yeah but yeah emptiness in the sense of why is it empty because it's wild it broke it can't it can't be it can't receive it can't fill it can't be normal and and the things within it the things within it have a chaotic relationship to each other correct very good correct so love and fear are opposing each other because they just are they can't balance they can't be normal anyway so i want to finish this so so uh cunanan killed him as a 60s you know uh product in a way continued that mode and and you know it was for rockstar and it all came crashing down the 80s we're no longer the 60s and 70s we're going into a different phase and um so he was at the cup ranging and the rebels said this nakuda yes over the top but in the vessels of the rapper's language was the toyo the energy the passion of toy you be caleb in the vessels of tikken in other words it has to go through a normal uh a normal receptacle so you shouldn't be dull and you shouldn't be a good and you should you should be excited but with an excitement you you shouldn't be hurting people this is very important i'm glad you put it up there are people for the in the sake in the name of excitement and and enthusiasm and and um and shita and you know and all of that they hurt people but i'm doing i'm doing it for the cause you're doing it for the cause but you're doing it in a in a chaotic way in a wild way that people can't handle so that's no good and and if this is not an easy thing to be able to really have the energy of toyo filtered through the calem of tikkim is an art and not many people succeeded this art you should know it's an art the bottom line is there ever spoke about that idea yaakov at the fabregan and within um a short while later her mean wine weinberg uh the wealth is the owner of the kahula kalua whatever hawaii hotel the hilton she the her husband divorced she was sick in the in the hospital jerry weintraub over show him told cunha to go visit her uh he went to visit her and shortly thereafter she she died and she inherited 420 million dollars of his she gave 42 she gave 40 to khabad 440 to the heart association and 40 to another organization jerry uh her husband uh contested it and a few years later with the rebels uh agreement robbie they made a settlement of 21 million dollars robert then went around with joel adelson his um accountant who told me this himself in a car with a book and every person who he owed money to from a dollar to a million dollars or more he gave them a check went around los angeles and he paid everyone the 70 million dollars he had about four million dollars left he bought the what's the call today the base kaya mushroom school on pico boulevard he gave a million to the yeshiva to the earl ghana and um and then he had a little left and then a year later again he was in trouble and he says but he says you should know i just heard this the other day he says this time the rabbit didn't bail me out and there's a very important lesson you know one time cuny i'm going to save your skin but now you're a big boy don't do it again because if you're doing it again you're on your own i did have to say that of course but he took it that way because he again went into debt and this time he lost a lot of properties and whatever but yaakov going back to your question is it now clear the idea of oil is the kaylin battalion the ticket or or still not i hear it but i hear it better yes okay okay you know i want you should read up that secret find it online tough shin mem gimbal uh you gimmel tishrei go to khabar.org they have a site where they have the rebeccas you know it was during the week you might be able to you'll be able to hear the actual secret the rebels speaking and if you understand either she'll be able to understand yes moshe yes i got to tell you a little uh uh quip that my wife told me apparently there's there was some some uh leftist politician in israel who proposed some kind of uh legislation against khabad proselytizing or putting on filling or something in the air yes sure my wife said that um some khabad spokesperson said you know they threatened them with prison and she said and the person said she obviously doesn't know about khabad what you know if they put us in prison what do we do we'll uh we'll get out we'll make up for bringing we won't say talking about it it'll be a new young very good mostly you wanted to say something moisha i just want to say it's interesting what we're learning because um in safras when the sulfur learns when you learn safras so there's a very famous quote from gemara in iruban that discusses um the importance of the sofa being very very careful with his work so that he doesn't add or miss letters because the gemara says that the quran gomorrah says that if he does he could destroy worlds in other words each you know letter is is critical that it's the proper letter not an added letter nothing right right right i understand right the connection to what we're learning thank you thank you as as as usual in a good way you take it and make it practical mushroom no i'm serious i'm serious we need that you know the theoretical ideas are very nice but uh uh the axe to the wood taparu you know chop the wood stop philosophizing guys we'll learn more tomorrow we went off a little bit but it was important so i just everyone take care we'll see everyone tomorrow bye
