the mimer is on page 272 in the third
volume of my motherboard cutting
of the previous lever
my ship brought sense of copies so
uh on the whatsapp if you don't have the
safer please uh get your copy and we
will start so this mimer
was set on lag by amer and that's why i
chose it because it's the next
holiday la la mer
and it was said locked by emir 1940
so that's um quite a bit what is it 82
years 82 years ago i guess
where where was this review um
[Music]
i'm not sure if it was back in
in brooklyn i'm sorry in in manhattan at
the greystone hotel
where the previous site ever was
until
of 1940 when they bought
770 and they moved in on the 21st of
ello
or it wasn't lakewood because there ever
went
for
pesach
uh
to lakewood that he had a
friend supporter charles paston i think
was his name
and he gave the ramp to his house he had
a large home
and the rabbit went there on the eighth
of nissan
one of the previous members that we
learned or the previous mimer
was said that i think the day when he
arrived
to uh to uh uh lakewood
now this mimer is lag by aimer
so i don't recall if he already went
back it could be really went back to new
york or he still wasn't lakewood but one
of the two places but in america
okay so let's see what he what what he
says what he teaches
to the new american the population
uh la
based on a mishna eme pirkei office and
not this week's but next week's period
gimbal
missionary dalit
and it's a very fundamental migrant
that's why i chose this mimer
because it talks about
the three drives that every single
yid has
in the language of the balatania the
deficient kiss
the nepheshabamis and the third is the
nephesh
the human intellectual drive
which is not
clearly discussed in tanya but it's
really there
in many places as we shall see
and in this mind he discusses the
mechanism of each of the three
and it's a fundamental teaching
general and
in particular
to understand the
the approach of the bala tanya
to life
you need to really master his
understanding of the three souls
so that's why i chose this mimer and it
happens to be like which is the next
junctive and therefore we'll learn this
minor chavez
odom
channel beloved is man who was created
in the image
continues the mission
uh
more love not just ordinary love
like it says in the first clause of the
mishnah
but
extra love
itself
it was known to him
because he created man in the image this
is what it says
shenaman
and he quotes the possibilities
keep it selling merely keem uh says
for her god made man in his
image having israel and then the mishnah
continues
israel beloved is israel or the eden
who are called
children to god
is known to them
that they're called children to god
now when you learn the mission that
seems superfluous and there's men the
commentators immediately ask their
questions and give their answers but
we're learning the way this mind to see
how the frida kadaba
looks and how at this
worrying of the mishna it's understood
israel
that
other
is
there are two separate ideas that it's
not repetition if it's repetition would
not repeat itself
that's a general idea you need to know
when you learn tata nothing is
repetitious it might seem that way you
might not understand why but there's
always explanations why the repetition
you know for example the commentator
malden who lived during the 1800s the
famous malbim
he
specializes in his interpretation and
understanding of tanakh
on the usage of words that are very
similar sometimes sentiments
and it's a great commentary commentary
if you want to know why the double
language
so what do we see
we see that and and the album wasn't a
husset okay
so we see that the style of title
learning is to understand why the
repetition
okay
two points
a
what's what's the repetition for and
avraham the siddharam the last word we
just read
in their order
why is khabib adam come before having
israel
now notice
that it says
beloved is man
and the second clause says
israel
beloved are israel it's israeli israel
but the rebel second question is the
citron why have even israel before
khabib
the
look further
the
other
the words
israel precedes
and the question is why so that that
those are his two questions
refers to i'll never surely kiss
okay so here begins his explanation
based on siddhis
that's the way he's analyzing this verse
now
and it doesn't contradict all the other
explanations
it says that even israel is additional
to khabib
so the question is what is it in man
that hashem likes so much about us that
makes us more more special
and it makes us more special therefore
he doesn't only call us
but in addition to the first clause of
having
adds another clause
israel
says that
this refers to of the special neshama
that ayid has
that's coined by the altered chapter two
of the tanya never show the kiss
[Applause]
what he continues to say now chapter two
so for more clarity i refer you to learn
chapter two
it is the jewish souls that have given
the quality and the name called
children to
creator to god who is the creator of
space of makkah
okamori
and just as a son a child
named
comes from the brain of the father
too
must call israel
the soul of every single yid niem
is drawn comes from
comes from
the
thought of god
in other words
on the
of a yid
isn't just another piece of meat a jew
isn't just another piece of meat on on
earth
but a jew has something very significant
and unique which is never sure a kiss
or in our language nishama
what is special about the summer that
the summer comes
from the essence of god the thought of
god
just as a child comes from the brain of
the father
the the the period the
the the nine-month period the gestation
period
is in in the mother but where does that
drop of semen come from and associated
with says the altarebin chapter 2
from the brain of the father
and how that how that's reconciled with
with science we're going to leave for
another time
the iohakim
i mean it's not it's not the alternative
original quote it's called i believe in
the zaya
god has the virtue of kohma
although
to box hashem into being
is wrong
right you can't say god is
wisdom when you say god is wisdom you're
excluding god is compassion
so to define god by wisdom is wrong
but to include wisdom and whatever god
is that's correct that's the meaning of
this piece of zohar look again at the
words
the
lordia god has an element of
but not the type of
that is knowable that we relate to
okay my man as they saying is of hazal
israel
ascended in god's thought
what is god's thought referred to
god's thought refers specifically to the
god
thought
he lives it's a garment
in other words valve when you
utilize your
are connected tightly
you see
in other words
is going to talk about it so inside i
want to give away the
the entire thing
it's a garment
it's a tool it's an instrument
what is it an instrument for
specifically
let's continue look let's learn what he
says inside and then if need be we'll
explain it more outside
the adora
what type of garment is makshava it's a
united level it's inseparable from the
person
as you know you're saying when you're
lying in bed and sleeping you're
makshava is working and that's why you
have dreams
whether you realize the dreams you don't
realize the dreams
the fact is your thought
is inseparable
of your being
so we call this in
a garment a two
that's united that's inseparable she
said oh i have to shake once he mentions
this he mentions the following
this is the general difference between
between thought and speech
the garment of speech
hanifrud
is a
separated
garment
what does what does it say what is
say
says
a slidabe or there's a time to talk
choice
and it's a time to be quiet
you don't
you don't you shouldn't be rambling on
and on and on because very quickly
people will know you're a fool
so
a smart person knows when to speak and
knows when to be quiet
what does that show you
that the levus
the garment the tool the instrument of
speech
is separable is not one with the soul
you can put it on and you can take it
off
you can wear a sweater and you can take
it off you can wear a shirt and take it
off
it's not inseparable
or the virtual machine back to the text
conversely
the garment of thought who live
is a is a united garment too
for so we find the nature of speech is
nifty it's separate or marshava
conversely thought
it
unites
with the issue
that uses it as its clothing as its
garment as its tool
in other words
when you're using
kohma
properly
the garment the tool of makshava is
working full force
and when it's working full force is sir
it captures you it captivates you
you're lost in thought what does that
mean you lost the thought yay what is an
expression you lost and thought it means
that
at this position that you are now which
it doesn't involve
speaking it involves thinking
all of a sudden the thought overwhelms
you and takes over
and brings out the best of what you're
thinking about
given that given it's a good thought
if it's not a good thought guess what
the same i'm sorry if it's not a good
wisdom
if it's not healthy avraham
and you're involved in it you know
plotting a plot
the makshava then
will be miukid will be united with the
silly wisdom or the evil wisdom that
you're thinking about so it's not like
it has to be only in holiness no
we know our rules
we're talking now about the quality
of thought is a united one
it's so powerful
thought
that it overtakes
you
and all of a sudden we refer to the idea
you're thinking about not as an idea but
as thought
so without what that ebb is saying here
this is important to understand
really
what what what is it that you're
thinking about
an idea
that ideas
but when you're engaged in it so deeply
your thought is what overtakes the idea
and we and and what do we say you're
lost in in thought
not you're lost in wisdom
although what is the thought only a tool
only an instrument
but because it's so united and powerful
it becomes
the topic
that's what he says here
behind
so also regarding thought
that is the garment for wisdom
that
that the wisdom is given the name of its
garment of thought and that's why
the overlap
[Applause]
the zaira kurdish says
thought and jubilee
never
separate
jubilee your evil is associated with
beena right
there the 50 49 years in the 50th year
is
yeah evil jubilee yovo
so
it says
listen
listen to this
idea
that thought
and jubilee
never separate you know what he means
really
he means
[Applause]
are never separated
the famous story
of the mithla rebbe and rabaran of
strashella
the altar ebba had a student a progeny
student called rabaran
halevi horowitz who lived later in a
city called
strasheller and he was the the
the prime student of the alternate who
recorded his teachings etc
the alternate had three sons one was a
great bear who subsequently became the
next rebel
if dave bear
and and rebaron were best friends and
have roosters in learning and learning
and people would see them always
together walking and talking and
learning and schmoozing
like two bodies
after the out that ever passed away they
had a disagreement how
one should communicate
in writing the altera's teachings
with the mitral
he argued you should communicate it in a
very lengthy elaborate way
which also means that some of the exact
wording of the altered is lost in the
elaboration
and
and if you look today into the writings
the teachings the qasidas
it's very
clear
that it's so elaborate that sometimes
you lose the words
hasidim
were very particular
to keep what's called
the words of the rabbi of the teacher of
the redder
why because
i didn't believe that it's those words
that that are holy
my words and your words
they're nice words but they're not holy
sometimes we are accurate and right on
or something totally wrong
but we believe
that the words coming out of her when he
said
this is called
in hebrew
abbreviated
the words of the living god it's as
though moshe rabbanu speaking when hazal
say when moshe spoke
spoke through the throat of moshe
rabbenu
khasid and believe
and particularly
sit and believe
that when their rebbe said
this the shrine spoke through his throat
you could argue you could not say i
don't understand i don't like it but now
i'm telling you
the way it was for the way it was it is
for now as it was 200 years ago
specifically about the mind
set up iron of structure argued
you said listen to this if this is the
case how can you son of the alter ever
write a minor and say a minor in a way
that the words are not noticeable in
other words he didn't say he didn't
include them but they're not noticeable
and his position was that when you write
a mimer of and you record a mimer from
the alternator the word should be
noticeable and that's the way he wrote
his mind his
version of the altareb is my morim have
more of the words of the altar but
that's the way he argued like in the
pacifist
they bring
they bring like the
memoirs and then underneath it it
explains it
yeah yeah but again he he didn't write
it like he's he didn't write it like i
could see this moveris
but at the top it brings the just the
plane yes yes yes so that that's exactly
and they had a very serious disagreement
and
i'm telling you this because we just
learned a quote from the zayar
uh
thought and jubilee never separate and i
explained that i explained there might
have been explaining that
here means karma but it's not called but
why because if this supports what he
said a few lies earlier because when
you're in the mode of makshava the
makshava overtakes the kohma and we and
we attribute it to makshava although
it's really kokuma and but i'm focusing
now that with this story on the last
words where he spotted
they're like brothers and sisters
they're like never separate
so once before the altar rabbit passed
away
the two were walking
and someone said
another quote from the zayara kardashian
says that
the low mispassion two friends that
never separate
they're always walking together they're
always holding hands they're always you
know
together
so another huss had heard and he had
known about their disagreement of how to
present the altar ebba's words and he
said
hallelujah mispassion
hallelujah
if only they won't separate because he
saw the future and they did separate and
it was a big falling out and aaron left
to strasheler
and a lot of hussein went with him and
and the mitchell
stayed in the babbage and
he stayed there so both were teaching
the barbecue
both were khabad fully
the question was how to disseminate the
teaching of the alternative
yes
guys but the love island have any
students to school today to the day or
today
i
[Applause]
and i'll tell you why i think that it's
not i'm not i'm glad you asked that
okay for some reason it seems like the
fact
and i and i've written about this
elsewhere
the rebel that stays in the babbage
just by staying in the home base
he continues
let's take the fourth rebel who's
tomorrow your base year is his birthday
the rebel marathon
he had six brothers
and they were great people but each of
them for various reasons and i don't go
into it it's a very long discussion you
can look it up in my book about
portraits volume two but basically he
stayed in lubavitch and all the others
went to other cities ladies
what happened
today there's no remnant of them
and there's only laboratory left
oh you'll say it's divine providence the
war is
i'm just telling you that the staying at
home base
gives you something that no one else
that the others didn't have the same as
with the mitchell rapper he stayed in
the babbage
whereas rabaran went to strashella
so automatically it didn't hold that's
this is an observation i don't believe
it's it's written anywhere from any of
the rappers but the fact is
that uh nevertheless i do want to say
that barak hashem we have
rabbi aaron's
torah his writings up in the seifer
called shariq and other and they're very
important works
and hour
aaron
mentioned in 1960
he'd like some of this forum of herbaran
to be reprinted
because it was out of print
and the old hasidim of the rebel ashab
who were present
when the rebels said this were up in
arms and the rebels said
i know he called them the spitz khabad
meaning that you know the real deep
cabbage who think they own khabad you
know they come from chabad lineage he
says i know they're going to criticize
me
why
because since rabaran split away from
the middle river so he became uh you
know a poo poo in
lubavitch so how can i or barbara
chireba say he should reprint his his
torah
and the rebels said i
what happened in the past is the past
it's torah it's hasidis we can learn
from it it's worth reprinting
yeah
and by the way that
he wasn't the only one there were
several others throughout our 200 year
period would they have encouraged the
reprinting with although
during the time if you do that you would
be you would be beat up
and thrown out
because you know hasidim
were very uh very you know committed and
strong and and and canoeistic to their
rabbit
and the rebels said that's the past you
know we're here in america we survived
the war
unity that's the call of the hour but i
i i just wanted to i just wanted to
share the story
because here it says
in the future they never will separate
and i think there's a lesson for us too
in that in that
it happens you know when you're younger
you have friends and things and then
later in life
you call upon a friend and there's no
one home how do you feel
and you know
it's not so simple in other words the
question is were they to begin with your
real friend
you know and it's not something to dwell
on and make an issue of and and be sour
about
but
a real friend
is a lifelong friend and that it is so
hard
to have one and that's why when peter
obvious says abram
buy yourself a friend i remember the
first one of the first times i taught
this
it dawned on me what does it mean by
yourself friend hillary's on you know
like you have to pay a therapist or a
social worker to listen to you because
no one wants to listen to you because
you don't have a real friend and they're
not your real friends so pay money you
pay money oh it's a job you know i'm
gonna be
and the same is true with a spouse
you know a spouse is not a friend a wife
a husband it's a different relationship
but nevertheless there's a friend
element too and that's the question
or a child are you really interested in
listening
or do you say uh and you're back in your
mind i wish you would stop talking
already i have no basis for this go on
leave me alone
right
so
this is an avoider that's what i'm
saying this is an activity this isn't
easy
whether it's a spouse a child or a child
friend
one of the things that my friends you
always tell me is that i keep up with
friends from yeshiva from 40 50 years
ago as much as i can as much as they let
me in
because when i sense like a block or you
know hey yeah i knew you went when we
were in eighth grade or in high school
but today i'm elsewhere and if i sense
that i don't want to impose
at the same time
i want to keep up a relationship
for various reasons
so
it's a balancing so when we learn here
in the mimer a thought an idea that has
nothing to do really with the mimer it's
important just to talk it out
to understand
that you have to work on a relationship
even with those that you love and even
with those that you really care about be
it your spouse be it your kids and be
your rabbis and be at your friends
and when they sense you
a
a um
a an open open-ended friendship
it will make an impact and i've seen
that too and i'm sure you've seen that
when you don't have an agenda
and you really mean the friendship and
nothing more not judaism not money
not honor
not pleasure just we were friends i want
to keep the relationship
you'll see it it makes an impact and and
and they'll call you
and they'll start calling you and
they'll start what's happening you are
emailing you and they'll you know what
i'm saying it you
because when they see you're genuine hey
40 years have gone by and this guy is
thinking about me
hey i'm elsewhere in the world i'm
elsewhere
you
you'll touch people but you gotta be
genuine
so going back let's just read the last
line that we'll stop and continue to
membership
right jubilee according to kabbalah is
the is the idea of understanding
yet
[Applause]
excuse me referred to
by its tool it's garment next page 273.
shahu makshava
so this is the meaning
israel yiden ascended in god's thought
where did we jews ascend where did god
think about us in the very essence of
god that's united with him the level of
it's associated with max
and we are children to god in other
words
when it says in the opening clause of
the mission which we began the mind with
beloved is man who was created in god's
image like i'll never surely kiss that's
not a reference to the godly soul
because a reference to the godly soul he
says later in the quote in the clause
even israel
ella ombre so what does it mean by
having odom beloved is man
and we'll stop here and talk about this
tomorrow the rebel basically is proving
to us
that the first clause kavi adam
is not a reference
to the nephilim kiss but it's a
reference to what we call the human
intellectual drive
or the nephesh has sickly is the the
intellectual soul and we'll talk about
that tomorrow
any questions comments
i meant just uh i'm not the historian uh
but
when you're talking about staying in
lubovich yeah um i i think it's
interesting that the balchemto starting
at the balchemto he went out
and he traveled and he went out to the
people but then the maggot
stayed put and the comedian came to him
and what did he do he then sent them out
so you see this
staying put going out staying put going
out and it's a recurrent cycle it's just
an interesting
facet and i see israel that your
neshomer is bound to the river
because the rabbit said the exact same
thing one khalamoid i heard it from him
i'm serious
the rebel would speak every night khala
muay tsukis right and because there's
peas in the previous rabbit rabbi said
there's the khasid
which are the barbecue rivers right so
the river it will explain every night
the connection between the hasidis peace
the bashant of the market
right and one of the years he explained
exactly what you said that we find that
the balchemta would go out and the
market didn't so therefore i say i see
that you're the summer is connected
zeitgeist everyone have a great day take
care everyone feel well we'll see
everyone tomorrow bye bye
mother's day
