Good day. We're learning the Mayvata
1981 and we're on page 42.
Let's get right to the text and we'll go
from there.
Let let's the says we can connect what
we learned earlier about the difference
between
and being crushed because of the gulos
with what's explained in my
father-in-law's discourse is
shak in his interpretation of the verse
quote
oh well you shall command and
they should bring to you
olive oil
etc.
After will connect and and and bind the
yen with Hashem.
Yeah.
Um
only then shall they bring the oil to
Moshe. This is a very interesting
interpretation right when we read the
Hashem commands tell them to bring it's
like one two three look at his IS VERY
PRECISE NO no the first thing is Mosha
has to do something
barring Mosha doing what he needs to do
then bringing the oil to him is not what
I want
that's that's that's what I understand
from this text and what's the first
thing Mosa has to do. He has to be
masher. He has to bind and connect
the yen to Hashem. As we learned earlier
in the mimer, he instills amuna and
feeds amuna within the yeden. He feeds
the amuna.
Instills the amuna as Hashem instills
it, but he feeds it and sustains it and
enliven it and brightens it and shows
you how to use your amuna. And through
that you have a connection a more a
deeper connection to Hashem. AND WHEN
THAT TAKES PLACE THEN THE OIL IS
MEANINGFUL TO BE BROUGHT TO MISHA.
So this is this is such a 180°ree twist
on the regular shot because the regular
shot IS YOU JUST BRING IT TO MOSHA.
MOSHA IS JUST an intermediary a
MESSENGER GIVING THE HANDING OVER THE
THE THE OIL TO ARAM. IT'S NOT WHAT HE
SAYS HERE. HE SAID HE'S SAYING HERE THAT
IF MOSHE MOSHA HAS TO ACCOMPLISH THE
HISASH of the Jews to Hashem and only
then is it MEANINGFUL TO BRING HIM THE
oil and barring that don't waste your
time.
And let's see what he says further.
Here's also a a a novelty in his
interpretation. We learned it earlier,
but he says it here clearly again. When
the yin bring the oil to Moshe, it's not
just to bring him as a messenger. IT'S
TO GIVE HIM SOMETHING HE DOESN'T HAVE.
So in other words this this IS THE
INTERPRETATION OF THE VERSE ACCORDING TO
THE mimer here MOSA GIVES THE JEWS
SOMETHING THEY DON'T HAVE AND THE JEWS
RECIPROCATE BY GIVING ME SOMETHING HE
DOESN'T have
completely
different than the literal text
and it's not a contradiction someone
asks you it's a very nice touch BUT IT'S
NOT THE VERSE THE ANSWER IS RIGHT THAT'S
pashhat and this
not
and IT'S A DEEPER INTERPRETATION OF THE
VERSE. IT'S NOT A CONTRADICTION. In
other words, phys
what happened? Just picture YOURSELF IN
THE TIME OF MOSHE. You and I are yeden
at the time. MOSHE GETS A COMMANDMENT
and he tells us bring oil. WE BRING HIM
THE OIL. THE QUESTION IS WHAT DID Moshe
command and what did we do? So you'll
say Mosha commanded WE SHOULD BRING THE
OIL AND WHAT DID WE we brought the oil?
The answer is of course but what was
going ON IN YOUR HEAD? WHAT WAS going on
in your mindset in your consciousness?
That's what he's saying here. SO IT'S
NOT A CONTRADICTION to the literal
meaning is that bring the oil and and
and to mo give it over to Aram and
that'll happen. The question is what was
the panmius
in that action in that interaction in
that dialogue?
Let's continue.
The Reb says we possibly could say
Reb as you all know his style was in
addition to giving us the intellectual
deeper insights into concepts and he
always brought it home
and that's what he does here
among Amongst the explanations
how we are to take this idea in service
of Hashem.
Continuing
page 404.
The fact that excuse me combines
connects the heeden to Hashem who
I said that earlier that he sustains and
feeds our
faith should be in addition to our
um
our given soul
revelations. Everyone has a n you have A
NA THE N HAS TREMENDOUS POWER. So the
REB SAYS FINE BUT THAT'S NOT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH HAS NOTHING THAT'S HASHEM
GAVE US.
So he's saying that what misha does for
us is somehow and in some way makes that
nish
thrive more than it had on its own.
So that's what he called the words. Look
at the the text he used
means the revelation the manifestation
of the soul means that we got and in the
parentheses
he says like he said earlier in the soul
up above that Hashem gives us as sees
godliness. SO FOR THAT YOU DON'T need
in other words technically if we are
able to tap into the nish
if we on earth are able to tap into the
nishama above AND WHICH THE NAMA OUR
NISHA ABOVE SEES god godliness and if
we're able to tap it in and open the
faucet WE'RE GOING TO SEE GODLINESS TOO.
THE problem is we have a goof
and the goof obscures the na above the
shama above as it is in the shama below.
So it doesn't see godliness
and therefore let's continue.
Not only do we seek to have a
an experience that we see godliness
which either we do or we don't depending
on the obscurity of our body but Mosa
teaches us and feeds our faith that
doesn't require that
fascinating idea in other words in other
words THE NORM IS THE ABOVE SEES
GODLINESS. If we can access THAT, WE'RE
GOING TO SEE GODLINESS. THE PROBLEM IS
WE CAN'T. NOT WE CAN'T. SORRY, we don't
because we're there's an obscurity a
says the I understand. BUT GUESS WHAT?
YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T NEED
TO COME TO that and that's called the
and the ESSENTIAL SOUL IS EVEN GREATER
THAN THE rean
than the seeing OF THE BECAUSE REMEMBER
the seeing means something outside I see
it's not you as we LEARNED EARLIER IN
THE
IS ME IS I is us and and WHAT DOES DO HE
TEACHES US HOW TO ACCESS OUR real self
and And for that there's no conditions
and there's no limitations. It's called
and he says possibly could say
this is the meaning in the verse
this language
it is who connects and he says in the
parenthesis
he binds it. It connects. As Ben as as
Ben the Eden themselves
is you are to command the Eden THEY
THEMSELVES
because from the perspective of the
essence of the soul call
all gen are one. In other words, what is
he is it's a what is he what is he what
is he saying in this in this bracket
here this in other words how
if the I this is his question that he
his RHETO RHETORICAL QUESTION THAT he's
retoring to there's answering without
saying it's a question and an answer if
you tell me that we're looking for the
sh
the essence of the soul people are
different
how can the bringing of oil. I'm sorry.
How can this commandment of touch all of
Israel
Israel?
And the Reb says, you know why? Because
all Jews are one.
All ye not even the right. Right. AND
AND AND ARE ALL ONE WHETHER WE LIKE IT
OR NOT. SORRY.
>> Think we use the word the collective.
>> The collective. Thank you.
So when you when you when you touch the
we're all one the collective
and through the service of
after the essence of their soul is
revealed within them through who teaches
us and feeds that concept within every
one of us.
So that also the revealed and manifested
powers
within all within the Eden in
parenthesis which he called earlier
the im imagery of the powers. In other
words, the particular nuance of
and
that's what he means here. In other
words, not only does it touch the
overall
but it TOUCHES THE MY STYLE OF is such a
way your style of of of of is in another
way. So all those details are called
seor
which is what we're going through now
the 49 days of is all about. We don't
just say seven weeks seven midos and
that's it. No, no, no.
There are nuances and details and that
itself
is godly experiences the
as we said earlier if that itself
doesn't touch isn't experiencing
you have the breakdown that in the in in
the dep oppressed countries you were
willing to give your life YOU COME TO A
FREE COUNTRY that's the free country
remember this is like the sear of the
nishama
Why? Because the free COUNTRY MEANS IN
THIS SITUATION NOW I DON'T NEED so let
me relax and chill out
THE MEANS THAT ALSO IN THE DETAIL OF MY
particular style right
every single DETAIL THERE TOO I
experience
which is which means and everything else
when needed
or even notes but the as the that the
cursive feeling that how can I REST ON
MY LOINS IF MASHIACH IS not here if
we're still in GULOS THAT CONSTANT FIRE
BURNING IN YOU.
Let's continue
that
the imagery the details the the
particular NUANCES OF THE POWERS of our
of our being should be should correspond
to the message of
and if it doesn't that means it hasn't
reached it.
Now you say when you think about this
this is such a piece of that you could
think about be
when you d
it it it'll just it a it'll show how far
how distant we are BUT B MORE MORE
IMPORTANT than you know the the distance
is how important it is to hone in on the
details.
You know many times people on the
generality
they're great but when you start honing
in on the detail let me look at your
myself let me look at my is my genuine
is my altruistic is my modest is my on
and on and on that's details and that's
what he's saying here
has TO BE EXPRESSED THROUGH THE DETAIL
AND THE nuances which we call in the
mimer.
SO IT'S VERY NICE TO SAY OH THIS IS A
SHA ye know there expression this is a a
nice Jew meaning oh HE'S A RESPECTABLE
JEW when he comes into sh we give him
the place up front right because he's
aashu
ask the I told you that story over and
over but it such a when this this
prominent
from generations of kabad
was at a meeting in 770
to appoint the next rabbi or rabbis for
the community, the Rabani after the
previous, this is 1985, 86, 87, one of
those years. And they they it seemed
like they're going to elect
people who didn't come from Kabad
pedigree as THE RABONIM INK HEIGHTS FOR
THE KABAD COMMUNITY. You know this is
like
creme de la creme in kabad, right? This
is the hub
and
he and others backing him were very
perturbed and disturbed and he got up
and he marched out in front of everybody
without saying anything. But it was
obvious that he was very disturbed that
he wasn't appointed feeling that he with
his pedigree and he had pedigree and it
was a baky and shas
and in kabala it was a a major major
probably in a way more than some of the
elected raon you hear that but the
community needed an English speaker and
someone who was more social and they
didn't vote for him
and I wasn't there. I I was already out
in California I believe from but I was
told about this. What came out is that
the sear on the sh OF THIS PERSON IN
THAT particular little detail WAS NOT
MAS to the
because the in that case I'm I'm really
concretizing this and actualizing the
real life experience so you have a clear
understanding of what we're talking
about the in that case is
if the community elects a ro and and and
and that's the system and the unity,
then it's GOD'S WILL. AND WHO ARE YOU TO
CHALLENGE GOD'S WILL BECAUSE YOU COME
WITH THIS AND THIS?
THAT'S NOT GOD'S WILL. THAT'S YOUR WILL
THAT YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER than the
others because of your and everything
else.
But it's not God's will at the time
because there's an election.
So that's I think a good example to
explain that
how their m should be mim correspond to
the
what what do you think about the mush
sir you think it's a good mshel
>> yes it helped explain it very much
>> you too good
>> yes
>> you know I'm just saying that in every
you have to if you use this mushel in in
our own lives
it'll it'll I think clarify things it
doesn't mean we should you know god
forbid poo poo someone who's a kashov
and yet he HAS A LITTLE GVER STUCK
SOMEONE YOU KNOW A LITTLE MALICE OVER
there is is creeping somewhere
he's a he needs to be given respect but
push comes to shove when you talk about
the
or as it says in the moa feeding and
sustaining faith within us. That's what
we're talking about. And it's in a way
it's very uncomfortable because when a
person is and he's a person who's
accomplished,
IT'S VERY HARD TO TO TO LISTEN TO others
and respect others. Imagine if I may use
this say this is so you're you're a
physician a doctor and someone will come
and and upend certain theories of yours
or or you know
so a a person whose but
if if the person saying this is is truly
you know wiser or or you know on a on
you knows more and is a mench we listen
we listen we listen. And we humble. And
we And we're humble. I I'm the I'm the
physician. I'm the, you know, I'm Yeah.
I'm the rabbi.
A rabbi needs a rabbi. A R needs a
a Mashpia needs a Mashpia.
You know,
the Reb,
>> as long as they don't say, "I read it on
the internet
>> or I got it through AI.
But the Reb, the Reb had his
father-in-law to check him out. Really?
You know, there's no such a thing. The
Babb I'm saying even Okay, you're
saying, "Well, HOW'S THAT?" WELL, THAT
YOU HAVE TO ASK HIM. He somehow
communicated with his father-in-law even
after he passed away. That's beyond my
pay grade.
BUT THAT THAT THAT'S WHAT HE SAID
PUBLICLY many times. you know, and and
there were people, for example, his own
brother-in-law who, you know, like said,
"Cut it out." You he didn't say that,
but he thought that, but he thought that
in the beginning, and then a year later,
he saw this guy is this he he is able to
communicate cuz he said, "I go to my
father-in-law's grave site, the previous
Reb, AND HE DON'T TALK TO ME. I don't
walk AWAY WITH MESSAGES. HE TOLD ME TO
DO SO A AND B." And my younger brother,
not only is he saying it, I see that he
he lives that and he really is
connecting. But that's, you know, that
that, you know, that's that was his
opinion.
But the Reb did
always check with his father-in-law.
Again, I I say clearly, you know, a
rational person who's not aid or not a
believer in all these things is going to
say that's absurd. Okay, that's their
business. So, they're not plugged into
the whole concept of grave sites,
right? people mameish tell over
mameish mameish or Isert shared with me
last week something you know his his
practice and his job and all that you
know that's an individual thing but
these spiritual messages do happen so
the point is
if you can if you're a person that can
connect that way
but if you can't you know it's like you
So after giml and some of my teachers
who I respected in you know they were
very kind of mishikistic and I said to
him you know hey if you see the and you
hear him after he passed on and and I I
knew this person I said okay I DON'T I'M
NOT that level I don't I you know I can
think and I can meditate and I can I can
reflect and I can you So, but to me, you
know, he's not walking around and uh I
don't see him with my physical eyes.
If a person who is a genuine person says
he does, he doesn't need pills. He has
tremendous then there's something beyond
me. I'm not going to go and poo poo that
just
when it is worthy of poo pooing is when
YOU'RE HACKING A CHIC WHEN YOU'RE FULL
OF IT. Excuse the expression, you know,
like come on. You're gonna go and and
and and and and be be mean to people,
rip people off,
indulge in food and other ty. And you
see the Reb and you hear him. Come on.
Come on. Cut it out. You know like
there's a system here in our in our
surve
you know change your change your
behavior from rah bad evil no good
first and then I say till then do good
especially when it comes to these ideas
of communicating with an with a sadic
and all that okay um we're going to stop
here and tomorrow we'll continue the
mimer. Have a great day, Z. Bye-bye.
>> Good day, Robert.
