top of the page let's in the my memory
module commercial for the year 1924
authored by the previous reputable age
of youth hook so top of ratio tests you
got that the kid sir I want to read the
kids are of what we learned the last few
days you guys have that racial class
yeah
kid sir your vaio we explained the rural
commercial whom inshallah the power of
domination of control is meant rola
governing leadership dominion theatre
and we questioned the father I surely
deletion deep in lignin solar someone
who has been given authority from on
high God has given someone a position of
authority
huzzah the coop al Qaeda he's definitely
righteous is a Sadiq and he's a pal
taters a man of theta an owner of theta
so if that's the case VF shy if by
England I hate how is it possible for
him to have an issue of transgression
which is the next half of the verse form
are pay miss acclaim the daily so it
implies that this person who is in a
position of the Dominion and control and
governing which is a gift and a blessing
seemingly from God yet it seems like
he's a viable transgression how did the
two go together
that was the basic question on the verse
in the Mimer
yes mark pea dying at the hands weekend
yes yes look at the root word of Marky's
race pay Alice right and and he loved
that he brought those he said that in in
the minor earlier the first chapter that
the word mark pay is associated with
refer refer in reviewing and before and
today's
talk more about that okay okay the
italics and what is the answer to this
question the Mart a lawsuit if Orion bar
pay number one refers the cuff is
associated with the word really
loosening up letting go via via dyad a
horn over and he explains that through
having humility and an interest of
another one won't be captured in the sin
of the generation the moisture vro
notion are you - is ma they were totally
subservient to a shambles in Kabbalah
called the level of men a ma what is it
I can't tell you what it is because
there's no ego there so there's no
definition and form and description it's
not what is it
and as well though yoshua Nicola
Machaerus one mom woman please your shoe
is called a servant right motion that
means that he was a perpetual servant
before during and after Moses lifetime
you're sure was a perpetual servant
which is bit tell her ask me
the Talmud Arabic the essential humility
and subservience of a student to a
teacher and like we discussed yesterday
how you know to be a real excuse me to
be a real Makabe to be a real recipient
of teaching from a teacher one needs to
be subservient to him with a bit
philosophy yes hello I was wondering if
you might expand a little on relation to
the teaching from the tanya that the
spirit hokhmah co-opted mom yes very
good so that's the chapter xxx xxx
chapter 3 and elaborated in chapter 35
in Tanya it's one of the few places the
Alta Deborah says I heard this from my
teacher referring to the maggot I think
there's only twice and Tanya with the
out there actually says some mighty
mighty
heard from my master referring to the
market and one of them one of the places
in chapter 35 regarding this issue that
Huffman's comprised of the two by Diaz
coops ma the power of what is what is it
which is the idea of bittle the laughter
never says that he heard that from that
and that art himself that the infinite
light of a sham invests itself
specifically in in hokhmah in other
words bina is not the abode of the aim
self why because benas already once
interpretation and of the information so
when it's when you're when when there is
your own interpretation it's already a
step down there's not as much bittle as
the position of Kozma which is totally
in the receiving mode and like I've been
telling you the idea of the it's the
concept of an idea where a person has a
dilemma of problem and all of a sudden a
a flash of light that goes on in the de
menthe in his mind and he could see it
on his face for his face smiles and
lights up and you ask him what happened
that he says I just ate solved the
problem that I was thinking about for
four years or months or whatever and and
it hit me now the answer and you say
what is the answer
I don't know but meanwhile you're
smiling and you're all happy why because
because because the inspiration was
there the flash of inspiration so the
Altair never going back to your question
he'll of the out that have been chapter
35 and Tonya says this is what customer
is and you can actually see it by us in
the words Huff no Huff miss class ma
those four letters chaos tough tests and
mem hey when you reverse it you get
hustler the cliff means the power the
potential Mao of something what is it I
don't know what it is yet so the
position of hokhmah in the mind right is
the position of the bittle the the
humility and
millions of the mind and so too when it
comes to the creation of the world when
I cut this bar who creates the world the
beginning of creation begins with the
world being in a position of what of
Bittle right because if at the time of
creation the world would have ego and
would and would in any sort any way
shape or form then it would embarrass be
able to receive you can't receive at the
same time that you're being much SPEA
remember what we learned yesterday it
doesn't work and I gave you a very
practical example and if you think about
I think you'll see it's true when you re
a real student who gathers information
has to shut off and turn off completely
the idea that I want to I want to
understand didn't I have questions our
end if you listen to information that
way you're not really receiving because
you're already in a position of of
commenting and that's what happens many
times in a classroom with students and
you know every one of us here have seen
this or even with the parenting you
start sharing something with your
children and all of a sudden they're
ready but they're ready commenting a
questioning and thinking they're not
really receiving so if you're not really
receiving you don't have it so when when
you comment before you have it that's
foolishness you don't really know what
I'm saying
listen completely just take it all in
take it all in and don't even think
about I'm going to comment and think
about what I'm being told that even that
is already a non receiving mode when you
listen you have to be totally in the
mode of Cibola of receiving and that's
the position of Koffler and that's why
one second you only one moment let me
finish the thought exactly please don't
do that cuz you're not listening you
gotta listen for
so the rebus a the first thing is
customer hokhmah means go into the mode
of receiving I'm here I just want to
hear and receive once I hear and I
receive then I can I can already think
about it process it and then comment yes
you need this rather like one of the the
issues facing the Jewish world where a
lot of these homers have come into play
you know things them necessarily let's
say a hundred years ago like I remember
my grandfather telling me that if you
saw a guy you know not working
it was a very strange thing like you
have very few people sitting and
learning well and you have very few
people like the homeless situation is a
new thing and like people are taking
upon themselves were culturally you know
the bush and and and things that are not
necessarily Allah or even a scuffle
it's like cultural it's like added to
you describe that have really nothing
well look when you say it has nothing to
do with you this guy I can't I can't
agree with that last part in it
it depends what it is some things you're
right are totally stupidity and self
made up and and ridiculous but there are
things that have been introduced because
of the times that are very healthy and
important and the fact is that you
described has grown exponentially since
your grandfather's right that's a fact
that's not you know above of myself okay
now hundreds of thousands of more people
are keeping sharpest than during the
1920s in in in in Philadelphia and
Boston Chicago and and then Manhattan
when there was a a wave of secularism to
leave fruit pie can you describe and
that's changed so so you know to say
at that the increase of homeless has led
to a lessening of Torah a bit Swiss is
not true nevertheless nevertheless some
of the homeless and some of these things
are just extra pressure that is not
necessary but you know you know in life
if they come together it's a package
deal it's a package deal because we
aren't perfect
our teachers aren't perfect the rabbi's
aren't perfect we aren't perfect so
therefore we have you have to put up
with it you have to put up with it and a
person was connected and who has a rough
when has a much spear and he has a good
friend and he checks with them and he
discusses it knows had a balance
everything and that's it that and but
but to go and say that that the homeless
has led to a disaster the community no I
wouldn't say that I would say those that
abuse the homeless and there plenty will
do that like you said you know your
grandfather's time everyone worked so
those that are City and and and mooching
off others and they are able to work
like I told you the bells irreverent 10
15 years ago announced to his Kassadin
down I'm simplest hours a day when he
gives his mission statements for the
year you know it's it's it's that time
so the Belzer Rebbe said the bells are
ever said ladies and gentlemen our boys
i we have their clay low and we're
paying you but until now you were
learning all day now you're only gonna
learn a half a day if you want to get
paid by us the other half you're going
to go to school you're going to get an
accounting degree you're gonna get a
bookkeeping degree you gather the
computer degree and you're gonna work a
half a day and he implemented that and
thousands of bells of Hassidim now have
have jobs and they're bringing in a
producer a half a day okay so so there
was a major shift in in their culture
and their culture is one that is
very very rigid you know and very
disciplined in in in in in the Hasidic
lifestyle and he blew the whistle he was
a whistleblower
he was the whistleblower and he wasn't
ashamed to say that he was the
whistleblower and guess what it's now 15
years later and thousands and and
there's a Shasha at the beginning there
was such a rash
you know there's such noise and an
uproar how can a Hasidic Rebbe push
going to work when we would need to
learn more in coal oil and on and on and
the same you have in in other issues now
with with the enrollment in the army and
and I don't know enough to take a
position but what I see what I see is
that you know there are those that are
warming up to it you know what is a
better to put boys and girls to be on
the streets or is the better for them to
get there you know excuse the expression
their backside kicked in become a mensch
get out there take a gun protect the
country and come back and be a strong
civilian and a mensch and morph room and
morph room now I'm not saying it happens
to everybody you know I'm not foolish it
doesn't but for many and I know some and
you know some it does happen so so that
was those so that's also revolution who
thought of you know in the nineteen
forties when there was the giraffe and
the 50s in the 60s all you see the
Buckner in America were looking for an
exemption and then he signed up to study
and officially get rabbinic ordination
Suika just as a way out so I was sitting
with someone a shoe is a big beard and
it was wearing a big Sputnik the the you
know the Garrett way and not just as
Flymo but a Sputnik a large fur hat tall
and I'm looking at him he's 75 years old
and he has a very interesting history
I'm not gonna go into it but very
interesting so he told me that in 1963
he was drafted so his grandfather who
was known as the Pittsburgher Rebbe he
was a Hasidic Rebbe in Pittsburgh in
there even before the war after whatever
and it was a very specific and he can he
moved to Crown Heights later and he told
him I want you to consult with the
lebara chair ever whether you should
even seek an exemption you know do a
trade will do a spit so do a stick you
know and he went into the rabbit and the
rabbit told them he should not do it he
should him roll this way he won't make a
hill or sham and the rebus but there
ever gave him a Brooklyn and there ever
said you will come back unhurt you'll
come back and he fought in Vietnam not
only did he fight in Vietnam but he
provided you know he helped with the
kosher food and Dominion and he was like
a smear fan emissary
in Vietnam and here sitting across me in
Borough Park with his long beard and his
public who would think that he was in
Vietnam okay and that's only because he
went to the barber chair ever who told
him he shouldn't try to get out of the
draft but we know that the culture of
the time was to get out of the draft
today in there to stroll you know
there's the the issue and it's a
constant fight whether you should or you
shouldn't and it's a very big political
issue and you know from the have
goodness the protests and down a bit
Shemesh over there they they burnt the
tires and they burned the buses and they
make bread they stopped the traffic
that's all part of its and I'm not
taking sides I don't know enough you're
yes
no but the idea is that we find this is
all response to you yogi that that the
the the Jewish community different
community is together with its
religiosity and through kite and homers
is is looking at at things that
government and and others are expecting
and demanding and wanting as a way to go
further okay we have to go further now
page relationship rest where the second
paragraph the lone pair
if we begin now Vahine a Bahama cure
said more deeply to understand this
tomorrow Payoneer happended Island the
verse in Kahala says like my mother says
for healing will alleviate great sin
yuvan the Peter sub a so Hillel here is
going to focus on the second meaning of
the word mark pain which you asked about
earlier the email is that my philosophy
if you're in although until now we've
really focused on mark pay of being
associated with the word with you
letting go loosening up how the ikura
that ever says but the the primary
interpretation of the word mark pay who
love Sandra for it's the associate with
the word refer healing OB - Tamar pay
the girdle have buried I said a fool
with Leroy Shatto in the diamond
solitaire the healing of the leader of
the generation causes healing for all of
the generation saving them from great
sin
what does that mean even though the idea
is being a neither sought nor voted on
catch over the attribute yes yes okay
the attribute of another of humility is
a way is from the the dress in the ways
of truth a-- and he brings the romba for
measure Kosovar Amba the truth Azul in
other words for chuhwa a person needs to
have humility has to have another the
truth Azul and this type of chuhwa heed
a fool item this brings healing to the
world the I love the word world
but in Hebrew I'll um who Helen is
associated with the word Helen
concealment to hide in other words the
world hides God if the skies
got the truth a heated floor and chuva
is a healing l Helen to this concealment
you see what he's doing here the
previous River he's taking the kazow the
true bazoo here the fool alum and he's
and he's giving it a Hasidic
interpretation that since the world
eylem the word alum also is associated
with the word Helen Helen means to
conceal and hide referring to the hiding
of God's God's presence God's presence
is hidden in the world so when you do to
ver you bring healing to that
concealment okay - ow
and as the rabbi's teach us to say to
say g'day la trouve ah shame Avira fool
eylem great is true ver that leads that
brings healing to the universe to the
world like David who was who the
children through this reform with which
in itself is true though she sleeps us
Ave knows this is the pardoning of
transgression of sins
Jonnie F fact William did a limb it
alleviates great sin so basically what
he's saying here just did not to lose
the point that another that humility is
in an integral part of Judah
if a person does true ver and the person
is full of arrogance that chuva is is
weak it's not worthless because that
album says the Rambam says Maimonides
writes that in order for chuva to be
healthy and powerful and correct you
need it to be centered based on Innova
humility and that's when Hillel it
accomplishes Refaeli alone with four la
Helen it heals the concealment
what is in the skies and blocked and and
not apparent through this type of chuhwa
it becomes clear and obvious and healthy
to us our safety
gum and when that takes place we also
receive pardon links we have our Italian
detailing for greater sins and
transgressions why miss you are never
Michael I will be know someone who's
modest and he forgives he pardons I will
bring a his set when he was ashamed when
he became when someone embarrassed him
right
Nicola ich cos I'll say based on versus
the traitor Antonov he's called a man
and a cop I am of lengthening is a up I
am anger in other words if you are able
to pardon and forgive someone who
embarrasses you and all that that shows
that you really have a lot of humility
sure loves Emma Slade my mother says
initially tell you and if I buy in it's
better to lengthen your anger meaning to
control your anger
McGee burn then someone that is a
bodybuilder and lift weights and a big
macho keeper bowl a wrestler a boxer
strong the muscles of Pepe so slay my
mother says toys Anakapalle you if
you're able to control your anger and if
you're able to display humility that all
those someone embarrasses you and you're
about to clobber them and you're about
to wipe them away with your mouth and
you keep quiet and you swallow it if
you're able to do that say my mother
says you're stronger then AB deeper than
someone who has big muscles 504 what
right is better thank you
if I had a fool
all my other company now throws on a
piece of Cibola here it says in Cibola
that before where does the food come
from you guys were always asking for a
nice chain but they don't say me
chaparral roofing Misha vena cava seitan
Misha Beira
we're always talking about and ask you
for healing where does it come from
so it says that the food comes from
what's called Irish company other
companies long faces sure who penis
cancer that's the Kratt one second
that's the crown of a Shem the shovel
who muck in my another so the gate gives
us here laser and logistical information
that we should know we're one second
where does where does a fool come from a
place of another that's the point is
making that healing that rapport is
associated with another and where is our
numbers where is another's abode we're
in the crown of God called Kessler yes
we live you could find this room for two
commercial costs of bodacious customer
now he brings the say fallacious Cosmo
which is from the early slurring of
masseur shadow another the portal of
another pay the caller what does it say
over there rangers customer quote that
you yes I can't hear what thank you I
didn't know that where is it buried as
I've grown in the old cemetery okay we
have a deal thank you very much we got a
date
laser not have a date good but of a
let's go further so he says over there
the agimo meters hurrah Samim might him
[Music]
the 13 attributes of mercy are
associated with humility we just came
through Yom Kippur and played the cello
and we know that there was a shine of
you get of 13 attributes of of of raqqa
me of mercy that came to the world
so what we're learning now is they are
all based look at the words more in they
denote our another you can have wrath on
him without another and this is what he
said earlier in the mind if you recall
that I'm never that humility and modesty
is a mainstay of everything else without
another nothing else flows why not
because that because there's always the
eye that stuck there and if the eye is
stuck there the eyes messed up there's
no there's no perfection the eye is not
perfect humility the opposite of the eye
that is that you said earlier helo from
chapter 35 and Tanya we're a sham rest
ain't self the infinite God for the name
of the Maggie the author ever says
weirdest ain't software is infinity of
God rest in Hosmer
let's go further well oh hey night they
should goggle or dead who are no
therefore if the leader of the
generation is one who isn't on earth was
modest who marked they have attained
good things so day he accomplishes
healing of all sinned a great sin of the
generation there were feverish I met
this robber who based on the method
Shaba that we quoted in the first
chapter whom a dark a ha Musa it's part
of the way of ethics I said the daily
Israel that listen to this yoni that
leaders could alias throw lowest a to do
a lot see bird they should be overpower
with their authority the congregation
the community lamely by saying wait on
he made us say alpha Israel you know who
I am I am the leaders of the generation
and he and the rebus says just learned
from Sahara too hard the Zakaria he
quoted earlier in Chapter 1 Zakaria
oh I summon gorgonic along he saw
himself greater then the rest of the
people with Fischer her you why he was
Cassandra Mellon number one let's go
back he was a son-in-law of the king
number two the clan goggle what a big
matter he's the high priest number three
the Navi of prophet number four Diane a
judge do you need any more look at the
look at the accolades look who he was he
was a big man and yet it's a grace
immense and we say Osiris kabah hawk you
know sometimes you have a title before a
rabbi or ask to be hot which means race
shell but Bonet have gala he's the head
of all the Jews in the Guru you know so
he's this man the society was really big
stuff he was a heavyweight this isn't a
lightweight fighter in the boxing ring
this is a heavyweight in the boxing ring
that his skill adopted to duelist but
guess what
with all of his accolades and his
greatness he started to speak a pompous
and he started to speak
big big talk like a big shot and what
did he say lo Mart or even Mitchell's
Hashem he spoke to the Jews and he said
why are you guys desecrating God's will
the lake of legal and he said to them
you're not gonna succeed you think
you're gonna have won over God it ain't
gonna work but she humble of the
silliness what he used to get his
message across as he emphasized the
punishment you've been a burn you're
gonna suffer you're gonna fail is that
the way we educate a child
educate a student you're no good for
nothing if you think is you've gotta
fall if you that you know the negativity
well he did it a big time to the Jews
his sneagle
they have loved us for English
he sorry hey Humber fluffiness
he criticized them by emphasizing the
city punishment and this is why he was
ultimately killed and this is why he's
considered a leader that failed and did
not take leadership and authority in the
right way because he blew and his own
horn too big the horn was blown too big
you weren't supposed to emphasize the
negativity of naam sort of Lahav Ian
Holloway attained who in unity hustle
and here begins the treatise Hillel of
the previous rebus on criticism so from
here from Imam you can make a note
begins the previous level schita his
view of constructive criticism but he
first begins it was a rhetorical
question
however seemingly hallelujah
Kano in unity Hoffer this is the makeup
of criticism and he quotes the possible
vehicle of commercial Asif they say
after he f SI me sakha scold shall you
scold so you give Musa to your friend
vámanos ow I feel mayor put me in the
house I'll say that the bottle but let's
see it even a hundred times you see if
doing something wrong once twice - a lot
of times over ELQ in the cupboard
American says he said I hate a
how much are you obligated to scold the
other rather when you seem doing
something no good however Morrell says I
darker until hitting Oh Peter Shashi
what does that mean I think a northern
climate here is conveyed how much does a
person have to score this friend either
cold
I say it saves a the Yaquis and we're
here until the one you're scolding get
so upset and angry
and gives you a slug he can't take
anymore the boo he hits you shut up be
quiet enough already I heard you but he
doesn't just say verbally he uses his
hint that's what Rob says going back now
him came in Ken Kaenel mr. Smith
this seems to be the Mitzvah of scolding
of the cosmos early yesterday but Musa
Dagh to to give him heavy muster
now this parenthesis votes in a
parenthesis is worth a million bucks
because it gives us a the conditions of
the one condition that's maybe that not
maybe that is the most important
condition of giving haha for that look
what he says for that shall I leave a
ship arrived to via when one we're
saying over here that one is obligated
to give Mooser right says the rapper but
you're not allowed to do that by
wrapping in public if you see someone
doing wrong and you're in shul Ruffini
summer comes to the Torah and makes a
mistake or not makes a mistake that's
something that you know he knows better
and he's intentionally doing it in a way
that's contrary to what the halacha says
and therefore you scream at them and you
embarrassed them they robbed him that's
contrary to proper giving takaka giving
scolding of all they know you've been
nicely between four eyes in a private
setting y'all a male you could tell him
Sharad darkly your ways are dead all the
Vice Reba's air and to privately
embarrass him sir I'm a loyal Ms he
tells him the truth and he means
embarrassing mean he calls him on it he
says hey guy you went to yeshiva you
know you're a free guy you know what
you're doing
cut cut the nonsense stop it you're you
know and it's wrong and and but this is
a private setting
this is not
in front of anyone else and sometimes
were on the phone and we're in a heated
conversation and we have other people
who if every members listening that's
also wrong go to your room go to your
office speak in private
and he says further and he and you tell
this person she myself in Kumasi Bahama
your activity is like the activity of an
animal believe who bleed ask of them
cloud without human intelligence you're
acting like an animal
the in pain Loman emphases their
love-hate was the karyesh we also cannot
sing
why was the carrier punished now I when
I read this question I said he was
promised because he did it in public the
answer is that it looks it looks to be
that the public setting of Zakaria was
was an acceptable public setting in
other words it I have to check the sorry
I didn't get a chance to check it but
sicarios prophesizing could be was
prophesizing in his room and the word
would get out so I don't believe this
Acharya was embarrassing them in public
he starved the same prophecy and it was
and and and that itself was already
acting with a bit shot list you know
that I am Zakaria and have all these
four accolades and I'm a challenge and
this and that and and that already
wasn't acceptable so there's no
contradiction between what we said in
the parenthesis that to embarrass
someone as sorry to scold someone in
public is an embarrassment we'll stop
here and we'll continue tomorrow mr.
Shin everyone have a good day thank you
