so we're on page 129
in the we're starting the minimum
the last year i told you the history
that my manila had to actually learn the
mimer
so there is this holy person that passes
the house
and uh of the isha namas
and her husband and um i made a mistake
i said that she was the the
the uh
the wife
of avadya she wasn't the wife of avadya
um
she
had to do with avadya in the sense that
avaja got her
um
vajja saved the navy hm
and therefore needed maybe she was the
wife of vodka get confused i just read
it and learned it this morning the cup
was she that was she the wife of vodka
hillel
that's the way i remember it so maybe
she would i take that back she was the
wife of avadya
and also another i want to make another
correction to what i said last time
she she had creditors
so she went to alicia
the the prophet the navy alicia said
what do you have in your house she said
i have one vial of oil
he said she said go bring me all your
empty vessels that you have in your
house
and um
and he and she poured pour from the from
this one vial into the empty vessels he
blessed them
and because of that each vessel became
full of oil and she was able to sell and
make a profit of better pay of the
creditors
i just want to add that
we didn't
who
it was because of alicia the sadiq
that the bracha took place
that's one point
number two
he tell why couldn't alicia tell her
bring me empty vessels and i'll bless
them and all of a sudden they'll fill up
with oil no
he says you bring me the one vial of oil
that you already have
the lesson that ever spoke about this
once that ever said
that a person must make a caylee for a
broker
you want a brachavatsadic to have an
impact
you have to bring something to the table
you have to bring something gosh means
you have to believe something physical
and that can be blessed and used to
expand the bracha
that's why the rebel always said you
know you should say likayam uh after
talking about certain things because he
and he quoted
the the godula laghima shimikarevas
which means is
the drink the drink of a
lug
has a certain amount
that brings brings bracha
so in other words you you need you need
to take
a little acai
again whatever it is wine the water soda
the vodka whatever it is but the idea is
you need something but gash mias for the
saddik's bracha to have an effect on if
you come empty-handed that's exotic
could do that too but that's not the way
it normally works so i think it's
important to mention to mention that
that only after she brought the file
with some oil
did he bench it
that then it filled up all the others
and she made and she made the money okay
then the halftime says
since this this man
is holy and he's passing by let's make
for him
an addict with a small wall in other
words a private room for him
if not simulation and we'll place over
there meet the bed show under the table
he's saying a chair or no you're in
candelabra
behold
and it will be when he comes to us
he will go there he'll have a place to
stay
now says that
he is
of words and we will place it over there
those words in the verse refer to what
it says earlier in the verse quote what
does it say earlier
for this person is a holy person
he's constantly passing by
now here comes the rebels hasidic
interpretation of the words it's not the
literal meaning
the pedus this means is shalom kim
kaddish that he's a holy man
this refers to the spirit of purity
israel
that every jew has what the rebels doing
here is he's a he's extrapolating and
expanding
the literal meaning that this refers to
this one individual
that there is
this holiness in every single year
and this is what we call the ruach
taharan the spirit of purity
the zeal let's continue inside
this is what's meant
by the words in the verse that we just
quoted
literally what does gabriele mean
it means he's passing by he's constantly
passing by
the rabbi interprets look how he
interprets the words
there is constantly
the hashbaa the the influence from above
from god
through the spirit of tahara that's
found in the jew
in other words yavar
elaine
the spirit of purity that hashem gives a
jew is constant
and a jew
should not say i lost it i never got it
you have it we have it
it's constantly here the question is
whether we access it when we manifest it
but the ruach tahara's here yes
so i'll share a hillary story uh i had a
friend with a contractor who lived in
texas
uh and uh he was working on a church in
texas and there was a christian movement
called the i found it movement
and uh so uh he he was dedicated he was
putting in a uh a wood beam
and he said he wrote on it we never lost
it
i i thank you for the story i always
heard that a quote that i
i found it and we never lost it but i
never heard of the context of the story
yeah okay
okay
leo the story is a good one to support
what he says here yes
as it says in tonight velio
bain ish um whether it be a man or a
woman
if he might have shalom everything
depends on man's actions
show you the olive
you know we
avraham
we throw around the word ruacha kodesh
this
who has a kodesh and and there's the
argument today
doesn't exist we're not talking about
the ruach kodesh
that existed until the time of the
marshal
do you know that the tradition is
there was the commentator on the
gomorrah marshall he lived like 500
years ago i think in poland so because
you're poland
right
so when i was learning tomorrow in
yeshiva
we were told based on writings
that
the last of the
individuals who kind of wrote his
commentary
on the gemara with ruacha kodesh was the
martial
i i i have to look it up maybe there's a
an exact citation
i'm not we're not talking about ruacha
kurdish in that sense or the ruach
that this the vm had
the rabbis quoting the atonement of yo
which says
every person
has some form of
in the words that he said earlier the
ruach tahara which means a part of god
okay
there's a part of god godliness in a
person
this is also mentioned in the
verse
the viral was a prophetess why
she married
do we need to have a candelabra the
michigan for light there's plenty of
light what do we need to have one
the indian ray ramanaira so the idea of
the oil of the manira who
we illuminate the world through torah
but you didn't have you didn't need my
shirt a a menorah to light up the base
okay
so what was the purpose of the menorah
lighting of the menorah it was to light
up the world with the light of torah as
symbolized through the menorah
and here comes the logo
comes this prophet deborah the vote
she takes the time
to make
wicks for the mikdash
and because of that she merited
le nevor to have actual prophecy
viziksa gum
as isha lapidos she also
brought that married to her husband
says here
he will this isha lapidus was a simple
man
he was not a prophet like her
but because of her pro pro prophetic
state
and she got that because she made
wicks for the for the menorah
her schloss
she had an impact on isha lapidus
i just went for boba cause
yeah she lit him up exactly
i just want to say
i grew up with hearing
how
there were men and women in the stettle
and even in in america
who would make tablecloths for the shul
uh
coverings
uh uh
all kinds of things
the idea of
doing voluntary things because if you
want to do something for a shul
this is one of its sources and it's a
very special thing
it's a very special thing
you know
yeah go ahead
and somebody recently dedicated a
chandelier a magnificent magnificent
chandelier in each coalition beautiful
yeah
beautiful
or or you come into shul and you see
that some of the tablecloths are
schmutzka dirty
so
you don't have to make enough to ask the
rabbi or the gabai
take them yourselves put them in your
washing machine
bring them back nice and longer and put
them back on the table that that idea
i remember coming to this code this one
morning uh one person was up it's 5 5 30
very early and he was putting out the
chairs or taking each i forget what it
you know the idea of
of of like what devorah did
without being asked to make celos for
the mig dash it wasn't her job
but she knew that in order for the
menorah to burn you need wicks
someone has to make the wicks
and they weren't at a time when they
bought ready-made wicks like we do to
the difficulty
so she made her hands dirty and she went
and got the wool and the cotton whatever
and she spun them and she made wicks
it's it's the idea yes moshe
and then the kumara discusses it rather
extensively in a few places how they
would take threads from from garments
that were no longer usable to make the
silos right right that's also a board in
and of itself yes yes moshe what do you
want to say yeah yeah i just i didn't
know i remember hearing rabbi twersky
um talking about her members
back in milwaukee or
that people did that that like that was
uh
maybe no no maybe his family growing up
that they did that he remembers this one
of the preparations for hanukkah that
really like he remembers making the
wicks like literally taking the
the cotton and and
you know preparing all the wolves yeah
yeah
yeah i mean it's
you know it's this idea of being
mishamish
the shul
in other words you know that and and you
see here what kind of schools this
brought to the verdict let's continue
now it says
now he goes back to the verse over here
in malachi
that she says there's a godly man that's
passing by
the ish mora al his gabriel
briefly we've learned in the past there
are four names to a human being
adam ish
enosh and gether
other means someone who's strong in
intellect issues someone strong in
character emotions
and or someone who's strong in in
practical application
uh
yeah if you commute yourself and dr
velveel i'd appreciate it
and then there is together someone who's
weak in almost everything else anyway
isha kim she doesn't say agamelu kim
so the rebbe is focusing on the word ish
the ishmael
is you know what made this fellow who's
passing by special
because he was a mensch
he was ishello kim he was a mensch
his medos were
numerical equivalent is the nature
is what does it mean a man a godly man
dare us
someone who shatters nature and
overcomes it
he may
such a person
who overcomes nature and his natural or
her natural desires
kadushu
that person is kadosh how does he
interpret here the word kadosh not just
holy but moved out
kadush means the word in the torah
kedesha
regarding the harlot
who
separates herself from the community by
doing her stuff
so we see that the word kadosh
ironically also means
separation
because it's it it's in its own category
now if the torah refers to itself
category in a negative sense but the
word itself is neutral the world the
word the word itself refers to someone
who is
moved though who's totally
separate
in their behavior that they overcome
their natural tendencies
and for someone to overcome the natural
tendencies
ish kadosh
i want to make sure you understand
that's why it says ish and not other
other means the mind you someone who's
you know an intellectual a brain a brain
brain you know strong in the brains and
all that no
we're talking about ish middles
character
she saw
in this individual that's passing by
that he
controls his nature
he breaks his nature
she said if that's the case
he's in his own world and he deserves a
separate room
he's a very special person i think i've
told you with a mental foot of us
called me
1988 he wants to come sleep over in my
house they used to come usually for one
day to raise funds in san francisco
because there weren't many people who
were interested in their cause
in los angeles there were many many more
such people but not in the san francisco
so usually they would take a flight in
the morning and leave in the evening and
this 1988 he calls me and says he'd like
to stay over this is
remember
i said with the greatest pleasure and i
said why why all the sudden you want to
stay over he says because my my sister
your wife's grandmother
nurtures me to come to her in australia
because she has we haven't seen each
other in a long time i'm old i'm sick i
don't have the money i can't do it so
i'll fulfill her obligation by staying
over one night in your house
in her granddaughter's house
so he stays over
and i saw
this idea of ich khadeshu
rabbi wright
my wife my wife prepared the beds and we
were so excited i had two my two my two
oldest were young children they were
like you know little babies and we were
so excited that we have them in our
house
and it was a valid experience that you
know i made a video about it it's out
there you know that i remember how he
was dabbing and talking to me and all
that
now going to the room in the morning to
see just you know what's going on one
bed the quilt is removed partially
and the other bed the quilt isn't
removed at all it was exactly the way my
wife made the bed the day before
that was because rabbi raichik never
went into bed he fell asleep on in his
seat saying
which is interesting because we're going
to learn all about it soon what krishna
is
mendel did go into his bed but already
five o'clock in the morning he was
saying he would say the whole till him
every morning
from his days in
in siberia and nine years in prison
every morning he said tell him what else
does he have to do
so he kept that tradition his entire
life so he said till five in the morning
so each kaddish people who are able to
overcome their
kindness
and control themselves and get up early
and and you know not have what a friend
calls a love affair with their pillow
and things like that
they're kadush they're holy when you're
able to con each cuddle let's go further
is that therefore oh she will move the
ivor late atomic so this individual
who
controls and breaks and shatters their
nature
in a positive way
even the leader tom the constantly is
pesting us with as i said therefore
moshe it's translated into hebrew note a
no no um
no that's b
b
really
rabbit dolphin and you're safer do you
have this i have the same safer as you
yeah
it says it says
and it says
the one there means the one verse which
breath literally means shatters
teva nature
okay
clear you understand
yeah thank you okay
let's continue
so therefore since such a special person
passes by
for the zeiss nasa na lea katanda let's
make for him
[Applause]
now look at the way the rev interprets
this
we mentioned earlier in a few lines
before
the rebels interpretation okay this is
not literal interpretation of the way of
the story tonight we're not talking
we're talking about this now
the rabbit's interpretation is that
there's there's a spirit of holiness
that this man had
which means we have it as well the
difference is whether we access it or
now not
so drama says this ruach tahara this
spirit of purity
year basis we need to settle it
it has to it has to be chev yeshev
you got to make a room for it
you got to give him a bed you got to
give him a chair
you know you can have a mental come to
you when he's there for one night he's
in and out if you don't take that and
and make something of it it's a fleeting
experience let me just finish one second
and this
sense of holy spirit of pure spirit
needs to illuminate all of your aspects
sick beyond the i love that what is
involved with in worldly matter
now this to me this this this until here
is is of our brain for
itself the concept
of inspiration is that
you go to a lecture you go to a talk you
go to a musical performance
a lot of inspiration
what happens when you come back
the tendency is it wears off it just
does
unless
you make it
become part of your experience which we
call here
if you don't inculcate it in a way that
you make a room for it a place for it in
yourself
it's very nice and it lasts a day a two
a week a month and after a while
the
forces
of
folly and not and
nourish kite
are stronger
and they're more overpowering and
they're more alluring
and all of a sudden you don't have the
same time the same schmuck
right
here we are we're different places in
the world
when we learn together we're creating at
least for that time
a settling
of thoughts and ideas that we we
we unite and work together with
then it's up to every one of us to take
that and bring it home to your family to
your children to your grandchildren to
your friends and of course to yourself
that's what it ever says here
that's why this possibility
will now start explaining we'll learn
that tomorrow
and now tomorrow no share because i'm
traveling with hashem's health to
chicago tonight i'm getting into one
o'clock so i'm afraid i don't have my
computer
so you'll forgive me we'll continue next
monday but
maybe it's hashem
but what i want to say is that that that
uh
this posik
is such a the way the rebbe interprets
it here and here you have a good example
of how he takes a sukim
in tanakh
and extrapolates
how to use this the passage in your
avoidance hashem and that's what makes
siddhis and musa and
these parts of torah
so important
although it's not literal in a way
but it's not contrary to the pausing
it's also included in the pussac
and it gives
something that happened thousands of
years ago it gives it reality
otherwise it's another story
a nice story
and yes every part is very ada we read
it
and then i told you i'll be cute and
they're never told they'll be quoted
from that
but
here is saying no this is a daily
occurrence
of the spirit of purity that everyone
has
you need to settle it inside yourself
and your home and your community
and then
we have made guess what
then we have made
an actual
abode
a boat
we made a room
and the room has four things so the next
part of the mimer or the rest of the
mime actually we'll talk about these
four things what's the symbolism
of a table
sorry a bed
a table
a chair and a menorah
it's a fascinating study
of what this represents on our in our
daily
life as jews
which begins with the evening we don't
begin with the morning
i've told you the famous saying it says
says
this is brought in the first paragraph
of the
get up like a lion over
la to serve your your creator how could
you get up like a lion like a roaring
rye lion with strength
if you go to sleep like a lion
but if you go to sleep like a horse
like a
like a slumber horse you ain't getting
up like a lion you're getting up like a
horse
that's a fair fight with the mushroom
used to forbid about it
in other words by us it begins at night
it begins at night
it's how you go to sleep at night and
what you do at night and how you sleep
at night which we'll talk about as we
learn the mimer further
that really makes the next morning
different
and that's why there's a lot of writing
in jewish writing about the night
because the night is a time which at one
end can be very very uh dangerous
the night is is is a time when all kinds
of
foolish things could happen the night
represents a black hole a dark hole
it represents a problem
and the whole idea is to transform the
night
in today
you understand and that's why the mother
says that from when they
they they the the 20th of of which
happens to be their efforts father's
yard site
the the the days start becoming earlier
longer so there's more time at night to
learn and the gemara says
the night was not created only for
learning
meaning to say
to to to inspire the night
through learning taita through through
special things
so
the rabbit will begin with the symbolism
of night as it's seen through the bed
the meter
that she
said should be prepared in the room for
this ish kadosh so now what he's going
to do
he's going to he's telling us look
okay you have a spirit of holiness
right but it has to express itself in a
chair
i'm sorry in a bed and a table a chair
in a candelabra otherwise again it
remains inside you
and it's very good but it's like
without the one in front of it it's a
bunch of zeros you know
that's it so
the one in front of it
are these four items and we'll learn
that in upcoming monday
everyone have a great day a great
shabbos and we'll talk to everybody with
hashem and we'll give you regards from
moshe's hometown chicago
we're going there for
what yeah thank you
thank you going there for a sim club my
nephew is getting married in hashem

hundred years and maybe if someone will
be kind enough to take me to with the
previous ever went 1930 i want to do a
few clips over there because i think one
of the buildings or houses are still
