Nasa Na 1931 #15- Amida daily exercise of breaking habits - Get out of yr "box"- Right Wing extreism

so we're on page 137 we're about 10 lines from the top the line begins with the words of azer mineira and just to recap briefly that ebb is explaining here the fourth item that the isha namas instructed to be put into the room that she made for the holy person that was her visitor and this was and this was a maneuver a candelabra and the rebbe explains to us the difference between a desire akaddish says that this refers to monastery the service of as the fourth method of tikkun of correcting the skin and he explained that the idea of monastery is a it's it's a prayer of of of quietness of silence compared to the previous parts of david where there's more excitement regis and this explain opens up for us the whole idea of i didn't say this yesterday i'm heading this now dracus versus his spiders there are two words that we throw around and even there there are nigunim songs be made about them and his spy loot spilos and in various uh writings of hasidic masters they have different meanings so yes maybe in but i remember in berlin there is also an indian by the lid fishes uh by the lit box of dwacus that is but right there is something about yes so i remember learning right but as i was saying a moment ago that the the the the meaning in the in let's say the litvak world of vehicles is very different than the meaning of vegas in the in the hasidic world and in the hasidic world itself the way khabad sees is very different than the way has has see it i don't want it requires really a class for itself so some other time hopefully we'll we'll do that but but just briefly you know vegas doesn't mean just closing your eyes and just going like this and you know and and pretending you're uh somewhere else that that is uh excuse the expression uh foolishness a lot of foolishness trachus means that something has like i always use the words some something has swallowed you something has absorbed you where the you is no longer there and that's what that ever says here in the miner during amidah we're totally bottle well totally unknown to god and that's why we're standing in that city the position of shema which is unbelievable but nevertheless it's a sitting position the sitting position means there's settling and if they're settling there you're in a settled place if you're in a settled place there is a you settled so yes you're calm and and you're you shave write the word in hebrew me you shave right settled calm relaxed right it's it's it's great but nevertheless there's still some ego some yesh what he explained to us here schmonesserie is the position of the person in his daily darvening where the yesh is bottled behold the entire concept of an eye of an ego of a yesh doesn't exist let me explain this for another moment of ram there's a difference between saying there is a yesh and the yesh is nullified to god that's different than saying there is no yesh how could that be there's no yes i touch the table i look out the window what do you mean there's no yesh so see this explains that a person can reach a point where everything that he touches and sees and feels and hears are all a god experience they come to a place where they see it as a god experience so it's not an eye experience it's not a yesh experience it's a god experience and a person who lives that way is not frazzled by the highs and lows by the curve balls sliders or fork balls it doesn't make a difference you want to throw this [Applause] knuckleball anyway in other words all the highs and lows and the different types of issues that we experience don't frazzle him it's just another step in this in the expression of god i mean now you understand that's a that's someone who's really a baldarda someone has really worked out their munna and they've been talking that nothing frazzles them that's that's that we saying a refined jew but the rabbit says that during shimones ray every day we get a chance to experience that and therefore i want to add another point that's why we have the uh 1819 brachas of the amida right because each one is a different cur a different experience one is ula and one is partner one is health and one is truva right so in other words what we're saying is like look until shimon estre i was a i was a true for jew i emphasized truther another person says you know throughout my life i i enjoyed simcha i was happy and i made other people be happy another experience is reform i went around to visit nursing homes and hospitals and old age homes and i brought people you know i am beside everyone has a different experience now that's wonderful except when you go when you have to go out of the box of of your experience if you're a ula jew and you have to experience uh health it's very frazzling because you're not used to it you're uncomfortable you're scared fear when we made our chabadas of marin county it was all fear that they opposed they opposed us because of fear they didn't the fear of the unknown who are these people walking with with beards and yarmulkes in 90 degrees and then they they they don't you know play ball and shoppers they don't come to the swim meets who are they they must be up to something the fear of the unknown someone who's who's a kula jew to experience another type of jew it's very uncomfortable it's very fearful because you're stuck to the you're stuck to being gullah you're stuck to your box it's a holy box but still it's your it's your box that's what i mean that that so however however that's why during schwann necessary we say all the 18 19 blessings to because at that time we've reached the place where we we've left our box it's no longer my request i need this i need that god you want me for me to function i need to be paid i need to be healthy i need to be happy you know what you don't want to do that no problem still serving you in other words schmonastre includes all the different types of life's challenges specifically because we can all accomplish them and succeed because we're in a position of monastery and what is the position of anesth the eye is out and only if the eye is out can we then experience all different 18 19 different types of experiences if the eye is not out you're basically stuck to one two three and the rest you can't fathom you can't handle they they get you upset they make you nervous and you're frazzled and i think this is a very practical thing that you could think about when you're dabbing especially when you prepare yourself you know that one line between god you swallow the blessing and hashem the kingdom okay i'll say no right there's one line a short little line and it's very powerful and important hashem god open my lips you see that line sets the tone for monastery not i will open my lips first it begins god hashem that's the first thing right now i'm entering the space of god adichen my lips tiftah open if you want me to pray and you want me to be yours and to do things for you open my lips upi and my mouth yagid will relate will tell your praises so i'll do all that on the condition one condition hashem so you see my that the opening line were in my house in 1988 for a night i told you that story so aberjeek went to my wall we didn't have a minion during the week that at that time yet we didn't have one so we dived in my house at my table all three of us so rub it right she got up to damage monstery and i see him going back three steps and going forward towards the wall and i happen to be observing him at the time and i don't see him kneeling you know you're supposed to go borrow hashem right there's three positions right the bowing of the head the kneeling of the of the legs and then the upright position you say hashem he's supposed to be in the upright position are you familiar with this this is brought in so i was expecting him as soon as he went forward three steps to the wall to do it 10 seconds 20 seconds 30 seconds i i like what's going on here do you fall asleep and then finally i saw him do the barakat hashem positions also not with you know protrusion and uh what's the word uh austin being ostentatious in a humble refined way and uh what i realized is that he was focusing on the opening words of hashem because at that time you don't begin your position of of bowing and kneeling right that's what he was doing in those 20 30 seconds and i thought a lot about this and and this is what i'm sharing with you now years later i never asked him this but i have it on a video that i made about a bengal footballface and you can see over there i think right now i'm thinking about it maybe i didn't include it i have it in my files i have the full video there i put about 38 40 minutes i believe i included that too and if you take a good look you'll see that he he goes to the wall and then he's not doing it he's not doing the bowing and the kneeling the point is that hashems is a very important meta part of davening and meditation to set the tone for schmonesserie you see and this is the way a jew who takes his dabbing seriously dozens you don't need to shake and make with your body movements and close your eyes and go up and down and scream and jump and laugh just say hashem with kavanagh and really focus on the words and you you're going into a meditative state of sorts so the rabbit said over here that this is the avodah of shimonesri amida is a very very powerful tv and it's the high it's the high point of davening generally the holy zoya says there's four rungs to the ladder of davening there's the brachus then there's tsuki the zimbra the prophet's in heidel you know and then the spooky the zimbra actually does everything starts with hoydu that is suki de zimbra and then uh and and then this briefcase krishna and shema and then there is uh or maybe it divides between sukkah zimbra yeah uh krishna and amida and each one is go climbing up the ladder so what's the ultimate what's the high the high is this rate and that's why you're innocent is that even if there's a snake around you and things like that you shouldn't make an interruption what's the what's the spiritual significance and reason for that and this is one of the explanations because the snake can only bother you if you're here but if you've been taken elsewhere because the schwarnester experience has absorbed you the snake is no snake and the foot is no food you know go tell the average person that right but let's talk about it an hour an hour in our life forget about a snake the meatballs are no meatballs the market is no market the worries are no worries you're with hashem now what are you worried about what are you worried about you have an opportunity to be with god to allow yourself to be taken in by god hashem is the best is the is the nicest is the greatest of course they're going to take care of you what are you worried about oh the answer is i'm not there yet so that's why we die much more necessary okay so we this is a very important uh it came out better than i thought i didn't think of saying all everything i said this morning but really this is the avoid of the amita okay let's continue now 10 lines from the top on page 137 it says the work of the menorah that's a quote from the title through action good action in actuality good activity in actuality maguilla princess mineda one will reach the plane and domain called monetary when a person does good for another person the kabbalah soil accepting the yolk daft you help the person this is what i said during the fabregan right abba bottom line no philosophies no arguments no positions go out and help another year later you'll think about whether you were genuine or not whether you were real or not and when you say chris michelle at night as we learned from the beginning of mine you'll cry for being false and a faker and not having enough and you did it for your own agenda but bottom line is as the the rebel always repeat the orimandar the poor man needs to eat what does the poor man need to eat after do whether you're genuine in getting in the food whether you have an agenda he needs to eat the fact that you're not refined that you have an agenda and you're you're you're you know getting miles on it okay you got to work out those issues under your tallis but meanwhile the other person who's poverished in the spiritual sense or the physical sense needs to eat needs to have the spiritual food let's go viktor that's how you reach the highest level is action that's what happens is right here and that is the menorah that causes things to be bright right light he may see if it says for my sabbath mixtures of this is the act of the moneta it should be carved out of gold to the to its uh base mixture from one piece of gold you take one piece of gold and you carve out from that piece of gold the entire maneuver if someone wants to leave the position of bad in whatever bad issue they're found and to be and make of himself a minority or candelabra this is a beautiful interpretation jot it down and remember it he should do in the following order miksha what does miksha mean first this piece of gold was around around like a round around omakis he chisels away with that with an axe of sort of sorts on this piece of gold allowing the parts of the menira from the that what to protrude in other words first you have to chisel away my shirt right when you chisel away what you don't want what comes out what's left that part that you want so if you want a branch you chisel around in such a way that the branch over sudden protrudes from the piece of gold by the day hakko is a goodness and when you chisel away with the axe yated zahavel yalamato the upper part of the gold falls below the hat and the bottom part of the gold descends upwards ah until all of the gold is now mixed together hama's bathroom edition which causes this piece of gold to lose its initial its original shape this is the muscle this is the muscle right and this is the muscle now comes the nymphs so should a person do with to himself the first thing is you have to shatter the ugly character part of a person of the person she is awesome it it should lose its shape its form its surah right it says i know your will to the will of hashem until here is the language of the allah the altar now the refugee camp explains that was made for one piece of gold the keycard the word kikar equals 240 equals rum which means exalted which is equals 240 over gamatri it also is the numerical equivalent of the word mar bitter i know hey nazmi is by ben this is so beautiful as shelley miller would say schleiber would say this is so beautiful now if you you learned this you know why the flavor carbohydrate was a hustler to defeat the cadet how can you not and he would say sweet of sweet when you leave you hear this you just it's sweet and sweet the sweetness of sweet hey na hey look what he says me is by the way ben whether you are my motion you're exalted you're great to broken or whether someone is broken shatter it from physical matter from his life for his parnessa et cetera his health you understand so again kikarzov kikas gematria 240 240 has two words that uh you spell in reversed way either rum or mar rummy is exalted ma means bitter says whether you are um exalted in your life or whether you are mar bitter underscore and destroyed in your life whether it's going great or is going really not good says that ever so you can blast his messiah nato kick us off we made a night out of this so don't that's what i was telling you before don't tell me you know your aches and pains and let's make them a night out of the situation and monetary can be made and should be made you're innocent out of every situation whether it's a situation you're in or a mars situation who are you they be to the swedish hotsouter show me they serve and you do that by shattering by breaking the imagery the formance and and spay and image of your emotions your character in your butler put aside your feelings yes you feeling you understand this is a bad situation and hashem has put me in and therefore i i can't function i can't serve god hashem's will even if if if it looks like it feels like very bad and very ugly and very down mark bitter chazelle says that this is the trilob is the time when we experience that please subscribe it's not a novelty right we're not talking about people who died at 12 1 o'clock we're talking about people diving in the morning via zanders that ever says here this look at these words v is on this how can it be any different a jew knows you get up you got it rising in the morning is the ashtazak the first thing holy basic nurses he goes to schulich's parliament zebra dominated me so what's the big deal what's the big deal trela sarvis what about myriff he who next page 138 boy adam it's in the evening big mother sucker you finished your work you finished being in your studio you can't come home you either have supper before you're basically winding down as we say you've wound down so the gums and impeller this is the customary way of every single jew to wind down and give thanks to hashem through the prayer of myrev in the evening which [Applause] when a person is busy like you guys the middle at at 2 40 in the afternoon where you're middle of doing your work at the studio whatever other work you're doing you have to stop and put on the the screen you don't have to you choose to do that and to learn that's that's not easy and i can tell you here we have a beginner 140 and in the middle of writing i don't want to leave i'm in the middle of an idea and so i just stop but i run out i mean they're saying the id in the middle of the day it doesn't mean miller day the min feeler is such that's in the middle of the day right from from hot sauce i have to cut still to the ski or whatever those are the working hours so wait for to to leave that it ever says and for many people they're found in the markets they're in the ramadan diamond exchange and they're in manhattan and they're here and they're there people are hustling and bustling like i would stay on 5th avenue 47th street and offer people to put on phil in the 1970s and thousands of people were running back and forth and it was unbelievable they're in the market they're outside i hope in the seal look at this my you're traveling you're going to marry this road to chicago to new york how are you going to do me you're going to see it or like i told you once i was on my way back from uh i guess with the catskills and the sun's going down and i don't i as far as i didn't have your place and muncie was still far what do i do you've been a seer well playing there sucks and you put yourself aside may call of um ahsoka from a spallow of all of your work and you say stop no it's now time to daven rabbi feller is in professor velvet green's office he says you i i gave you i came here to see you he says i have to dive in minka and the professor wants to throw him out i don't see rabbis generally and i don't have time for this and feller just does what he just stands up faces the wall puts on his guard with alvin's and inside this this velvet green is like i can't believe this and then he realizes wow this man is more committed to god than to me that means that i'm basically all about myself and he's about god and that shatters his ego and that's the beginning how he becomes about the suffer and how he comes back to hashem because he finally realized there's something greater than nasa something greater than science has this energy and potency that chakras and arbus don't have he avoid this look at the rebbe's words here from yoini this [Music] and this applies to every every day so there are over here it's interesting he speaks about the first joshua monastery and then he talks about the bottom line is obviously role and then he connects it to tumenha he doesn't really show us the juxtaposition of all three so i want to discuss that in hashem uh so i mean i'm sure we'll talk about this on monday or sunday next week maybe maybe the the emphasis is that on all the tvs which which are very important but medical really is the most difficult to actually do to actualize you know we all get up in the morning everybody gets up and everybody goes to sleep yes so i mean you get up in the morning but like in the middle of the day to find the time to stop everything and to learn or to daven that's what he said sacrifice that's exactly what he's saying but he i mean the the rabbit defeated is articulating it with his beautiful words but this this line that we learned that whether you're a rum jew or whether you're a margie you have to make him a neighbor this is this is one for for life never to forget we should put this on our wall you know in big words yes my yeah maybe in the next year is what you just said rabbit dolphin about whether persons are wrong jew or marge you then we can talk about that a little bit more i don't understand that okay okay good all right i will get it yeah yeah you're fine fine please i meet amit hashem okay so shabbos um shabbos what's the possibility it's uh next week so it's um opportunities great opportunities famous saying sends the jews out doesn't take them through the land of the philistines it was not that came to the chernobyl the father figure of the chernobyl which is square and tall narah sprivkin all those the river you know and they said you knocked him chernobyl his first name is nothing you're not a god what are you making yourself a rabbit what we're all the same there's a rabbi there's a mulamid a rabbit melo kim that's the way they confronted the nobler you're not a little kim you're not god and what did he answer them he retorted with a sharp line there are harris pleased him you philistines have their hearts for hasidis why flesh them to push them it says in kabbalah their particular um their particular clipper their net their approach their clip approach is to laugh to laugh at yiddish kite at at belgento what's this business of making someone putting someone on a pedestal that was their argument and as as as as a as you know sharp of a of a dialogue this is there's a it's relevant and it's not about you know see them it's not them we have to strip it from that you know uh classical divisiveness and find it in our life there is the attitude and the question why is uh hasidis what's special about it and why and why do that if orthodoxy for thousands of years didn't have that so the first thing that knock him says to them is derek pushed him have derek harris you whoever laughs at another person's yiddish kite the first thing is be quiet and have respect and then you can ask a question with respect and we will go into a dialogue that's the way i see this you know ordinary uh vert that if you go into a a a hasidic stable anywhere you'll hear what i said has anyone heard this before no understand velvel velvel did you ever hear that before velvet oh no wow okay for me this is bread and butter i grew up i grew up with this here year student of the belgian of the market you're you're not god stop with this rabbit and hasid stop it and he answers them the next part of the pussic their heroics pushed in you philistines have their carrots why philistines so it literally the people the way they say in the community is calling them it's not them pushed him but if you look at the kabbalah push them down the the clip of police famous laughing laughing at people who laugh at you this guy so he says their hearts pushed him you people who laugh at yiddish guys who laugh and see this or laugh at eve even if one lit laughs at another lit you're saying the whole idea of poo pooing the other person's hashem that he says have respect and and realize that this is also of did avoid this hashem and now if you want to understand more we'll dialogue it's a very you know it's it's a so again here's an example how when i was growing up and like this is you know my in my dna it was it wasn't explained the way i explained it it was kind of in the derogatory way you know a dialogue between them was not them and and it's not them laughing at to see them and see them laughing and snag them but as you get older and you understand the bigger picture it's far beyond just this kind of excuse me narrow and maybe even silly um or truth i mean you know the times when the system stopped them at each other's necks and head you know this was very real going back 200 years but as the rapper says that's finished they never said that no one must knock them today they're lit fox literature no one must not that's finished any questions it's a great board that's really great it's looking forward to sharing it's a great word my shirt and it's a thought that had a fabric and a kiddish with your heavier than a codish you can you see you can say a sharp verb but if you explain it people will will love it you know and if someone doesn't they have a problem then it's their issue if anyone i'm sorry tell me if i'm wrong but if anyone can have a a a timer on the way i explained it and and say you know i'm sorry you know i can understand if you don't want to repeat the fart because it you know you're you're you're you're you're not a good company you're not sitting with lubavitchers drinking or hasidim and you're sitting with lit fox or others and you're saying a sharp art and they're going to be very upset i could i can hear that loud and clear and i have heard it loud and clear but when you explain it the way it was just explained and you elaborate and articulate then it opens up a beautiful discussion about what arabic is and what to see this is and why did the baal shem come along and what did he want and what does it mean today it's a whole different experience and it comes all from the same verb from the same idea and the and that's that's the importance both in conversation and in writing you know you could and i always say this to people they ask me say how can you write about this you know because i write about some controversial issues how can you write myself depends how you write if if you're coming from that you're you want to jab the other person you want to destroy the other person you want to belittle the other person you're right you have no right writing it it's lash and hara it's gossip it's wrong it's it's my but if you're coming to explain where is this one coming from and where is that gun and then i mean velvet you've read i imagine you you ordered many of my books so you must have read it i let me ask you do you get that feeling in my book say because that's really what i what i want to leave my reader with whether they're lebanese or not i want it to be balanced how do you find uh when i write about controversial issues okay right [Music] the problem is not that your the problem is not how do you write nice it i feel very mellow it said that it was a cure for that what i didn't have what the what that occurred so that that it happened that it happened to me but i feel that that there are two people that they have to explain it because they try to you know to go back to january and try to revive all this stuff [Music] kind of uh daily daily jobs to speak you know about all these you know when i walk into a bookstore here and then if some people know you know know me for my books and they they go around me like in a circle and we start talking and it's great and these are people who don't philosophically agree with the khabar sheiter but nevertheless it's it's we feel like friends you know it's something uh that can be can be and should be refined and and we need to communicate this to our children and grandchildren because sometimes in the yeshivas today not sometimes and i saw i see this both in chabad and litvish yeshivas too the right wing has the right wing extremism has overtaken us it's like you know the neutrality of with moisture you know chappelle's or or or shari yoshi from far rockaway these are belchuva yeshivas uh two of your goldstein's yeshiva diaspora yeshiva yeshiva university all of these like you know yeshivas are today it's like second tier you know the weaklings go there the real men they go to slap vodka they go to the babbage they go to everyone they go to pondovich they go to lakewood now if yeshiva has a better staff i can understand that but regardless i don't want to say i once had a meal with someone in betchamish and the father the father although he's not a card-carrying cousin he's not a classic but he he loves to learn the rapper secrets and he loves to know and he's up and he learns more and how lovely he's been his son i saw and he and he wanted his son to meet me so he invited me to the meal and it was it was wonderful but i could see that the sun is not gravitating and what i realized is you know he learned in a particular literacy shiva and it's the culture that you know even without them saying oh stay away from chabad okay i'm gonna even give grant them that it's like you know this hasidus and khabad you know it's not for you so shut yourself down don't listen because if you will maybe you'll hear something and you'll say hmm there's something beautiful about hasidis and this has become the culture where bali chufa their kids and their grandkids have become uh right-wing extremists in different ways and i say the same thing for habad yesterday my friends and i we have a a chat i thought i told you this yesterday or good job i never was raised that way and i called someone who was from the 60s and 70s and i asked him but you raised that way and he went to the other barber to yeshiva you know more the crown heights and he said no and i would have thought he would have been he said i never heard that and again he's very different than me okay in many philosophical um political stances and he he said and i never this this was and he said one time out of a brain injury a certain older closet came in and disturbed the whole fabric and he said it's about the rapper and the rapper's leadership and not about the previous rep his yard side and meanwhile the main mash pia who's fabrian got up and he left and they were friends back in russia and they still were friends but he felt he's totally out of his mind and this council was known as a a wild husset so the average barbecue looked at him you could be a great man happy city snapfish and but you know this particular sheet of yours is outrageous yet today and most yeshivas and the most masbashivas that's what they they talk about and listen if that's what grabs the bucket in today i'm not in that world so who am i to say but i'm just saying so you know the the extremism and the right wing and and and and you know this idea that we change the way the tradition was it's it's it's the reality so it's happening both in the hasidic world i don't mean it's happening in the hasidic world too you know it's it i'll give you an example there are two sabbah rebels the one from kyrie asyl monroe that's you know uh near muncie over there he goes to the bat houses now he's for three weeks in palm springs at the cabaret house over there that was there and they built the they built the rabbi our shul and i'm sure they're gonna build up a mig for 300 people come for three weeks and they put in a whole kitchen and they have a cook a soccer cook in soccer town for three weeks going to a cabaret house hello quiet going to a cabaret house when 40 years ago it was fire and water it's like a miracle who would believe it right that's also a shift that's also a right wing shift for the in the good in the good so what i'm showing you is that the right wing shift has a lot of good things to it but nevertheless we who are from a certain generation a certain culture and we were raised by certain people and taught by certain people it's it's it's it's something a newfound idea it's like um uh hilo is not here you know freud freud freudian psychology was the psychology of of the time and for years and then came along some others and said no no no no psychoanalysis is outdated they're not the approach and i'm sure available in medicine in your field i'm sure you can find a similar thing where um they come up with a new idea and it kind of puts to the side the previous ideas okay we forbrained barak hashem again have a great shabbos to everyone zeitgeist everyone on monday mitchell bye bye good job travis
