so goodday we're
learning
thises I've mentioned many times and I
think actually learned part of it in the
past because it has a lot to do with
rashash what's accomplished with the
ker and our daving our prayers but now
we're learning it in the context of
thees of the AL
which highlights again the importance of
giving
SED now you know the tendency is that
even if you're excited about giving
Sedaka to a cause the first year the
second year but as time goes on you a
person you know the average person
starts dwindling and they're not as
excited and even if they give they don't
give as much it's just human nature in a
way so the AL this in this
letter comes to address
that and again you'll see clearly how he
comes about it using cabalistic ideas
some very heavy cabalistic
ideas and then using his style
of to answer and address the issue of a
diminishing of excitement in giving
s s in general and particular two causes
and er let's look at the text and learn
inside this is the hand of
the means
hand I come to
[Music]
awaken the old love that each and every
one of you
has the acronym is and the love for the
Holy Land
that that that it
burns like a burning fire
m is sorry m is from within
man within the Deep
heart and you feel as though actually
today God has given his Spirit over us
the spirit of generosity of giving being
generous by the
[Music]
nation
donating to fulfill their hands to God
be with a full
hand and a broad
hand in with multitude after multitude
each
year ascending
upwards like the attribute I'll explain
everything in a moment like the
attribute of the superal
Holiness that illuminates the holy land
of which is renewed and increased Tom
constantly as it
says the eyes of God are constantly
upon from the beginning of the year till
the end of the
year stop here for a moment so the AL
here says I come to
awaken the love that each and every one
of you had in a burning passion away in
your heart for is and to give of right
he's writing he's talking here and
writing this letter to his in Russia and
Ukraine and in belus he's
tell when you first heard about the
importance of giving to Isel you were on
fire your hearts were full of of of of
burning coals of giving and what
happened it's dwindled it's the second
year the third year the fourth here and
you're not excited as much you don't
give as much says I come here in this
letter to to arouse you that that
passion is not constant in a way that's
stale but
rather it is fresh how is it
fresh because ER is is fresh you're all
is why is is fresh not just because you
live there cuz you live there why is it
fresh says because he's going to explain
soon because the energy
in is every day every moment a new
energy it's refreshed especially once a
year we're going to see soon so being
that the energy from on high
for is new every
year you too people
you think you're giving to the same
cause that you gave last year in this
case probably was kabad kabad was set up
to
fund
V and that made
alah in
17 um
88 yeah or 7 no
uh and uh
they didn't funds it was very big
poverty in Israel at that time much
greater than in Russia so made what's
called for those people who are learning
who made Al they're sitting on learning
they should have money to live on and he
gave and and but he needed the people in
Russia C to give and give
yearly and they said well we gave last
year we gave two years ago we'll give a
little we won't give as much we want to
give to a new course Al says no no no
it's a new year it's new
energy that's what he's going to explain
in this chapter let's continue that's
what he's
explaining now he quotes the
[Applause]
verse listen to this the god The Eyes Of
God
H are
constantly the beginning of the year to
the end of the year it's a contradiction
Tom means constantly
always it's two different
periods a what do you needed to say it
if you say constantly we know it means
the always including the beginning from
the beginning to the end and when you
say from the beginning to the end that's
already a limitation let's this is this
question here look
inside
the this is not understood this part of
the verse seemingly
the end of one year already Begins the
new
year you should give
constantly what's this usage
of and this is what he going to explain
as well in the chapter
continuing this will be understood
uses
wisdom to to to create to found the
foundation of
Earth there's something
called you know we have Earth on on on
Earth the physical Earth but there's a
corresponding concept to Earth in
spiritual terms we call that in Caba
edit
Elona the foundation of the
the superal Earth
he that's the pervading energy of
God and now regarding the Earth on Earth
he edits this refers to which is called
the desirable
land that corresponds
exactly to
ER corresponds to ER
connect the opposite it's it's right
opposite
it and is is called the land of the
living
because is
called look what he
says we have a concept the gar says that
when a person goes to sleep the sends
upward
right and it and it fetches
life what does that mean so it's explain
the that the impediments that there are
during the day that the
mind
creates with all kinds of limitations
and obstacles at night it's not that way
and I experienced it last night is so
interesting I haven't had a dream in a
long time and I had a very Vivid dream
with a lot of deta TS last
night it's so funny that it happened
last night cuz at a few hours before I
went to sleep I was listening to I Was
preparing this this this shear and I was
listening to AB Khan he hasn't you on on
the chapters so I always try to listen
to as much as possible to get ideas
and and who was in my dream RAB the time
what you're really living with the time
right and who was in my dream RAB Khan
It's
like there were there were other details
in the dream but it's so interesting I
was listening to I've listened to his
she I listen almost to every before I
give you a Shear I prepare with his
Shear as well but it's so interesting
that last why am I saying this because
last night because in yesterday's year
he gave this example I'm giving you that
when a Nish goes to sleep at night a
personis goes to sleep at night it says
the Nish
right it says that in the gar too the
soul ascends upward that's why it's
considered the says it's 160th of death
and that's why
it's that's why we say in the
morning cuz in the morning we're re
we're experiencing a a a miniature
resurrection and what does the soul get
when it goes to sleep it
says it fetches life
what what's the life it's the same life
it speaks about here the which is what's
that idea the Purity because during the
day the
mind you know disturbs us impedes us
questions right so the clarity we don't
have during the the day y when we're
awake when we go to
sleep that that is removed
so when we talk about true we talk about
true life it's only
in it's kind of only in the street in
the in the Sleep state right and then
you got to take that and bring it down
by waking up in the morning and bring it
into your day
day having a
a experience at night and not getting up
is a big problem God forbid
what's the message remember the the
famous s the rebba the Jews went to
sleep on
God before M Torah why because they felt
that the state of being awake is an
impediment to receiving tah the the
purest state to sleep so then if so
what's the what's the sin that we have
to stay up the N of shu is to to to to
forgive their transgression and and
what's the explanation that the ultimate
is not to be in a dreamlike state as
high as it
is it's to come down back into Earth the
dreamlike state is is is the state of
aestheticism big deal you're very holy
on a mountain somewhere or or taking an
LSD trip big deal I want you to be so
pure and so holy when you walk down the
street or when you go when you go when
you go to the market I want to see how
you behave then
right so so but nevertheless
nevertheless let's not forget where does
that Purity exist where we draw the
energy to bring into the world and live
that way
it's
it's it's at night during the Sleep
state so used that as an an explanation
to explain this section of Tanya here
and I heard it last night
and I had a dream which is what the
gumar speaks about having a dream when
the soul goes when the soul goes to
sleep when you when you body when you go
to sleep and you have a
dream just very interesting how anyway
getting back to the text
here so he says let's continue
this it's drawn from superal wisdom
source of life life
says not Hina is already adulterated
beina is already develop the development
State K is the
pure the geometric State the unknown
state so
it's it's that enlivens its Masters
and this emanation
from it is renewed with a new energy
actual Yi
M every single year
why because we know and his wisdom are
one in the ultimate unity
Turn the
page on top of 240 and is called the
infinite
God there is no
end there is no
limit to the
benefit and the greatness of the
light and the energy that's from
God from his
wisdom Advantage after
Advantage an end you can't say God has
an end H in other words is saying like
this that every year there's a new
energy
that's wait a
minute Hashem just gave is its light
energy right another new one so the
answer is it's coming from God Hashem is
Limitless so it's not a question let's
continue the
God is infinite above
above and every single
[Music]
year there descends and illuminates from
superal
wisdom a new light
renewed that never show shined to ER
you he before we get to ER we got a deal
with ER remember he he he he he laid out
earlier the
groundwork the way it works is there's
God there's God Illuminating era from
comes
into and then we work with it in other
words there needs so so the first thing
Al is doing is showing us here that
the ref the new energy before us before
our in other words y if erela would not
have the renewed new energy we wouldn't
have it for
sure if if if if the if our counterpart
which is our which is our primary
strength and foundation and energy is
not excited how do you expect me to get
excited
us to get excited well let's put it very
simple if you're not excited about
something that you're doing you expect
your kids to be excited come on they
look up to us I mean whether we whether
we know it or we don't know it whether
they say you know they acknowledge us
they're respectful not end of the day is
they look up to the parents they know
the parent and if the parents are not
excited about what they're doing what do
you expect from that it's the same idea
over here
the analog is similar to the
is like us so first the has to feel the
the says that's what he says here let's
continue let's
go what are you doing now you're in a
refrigerator where are you sounds like
you're in a refrigerator
okay I'm I'm in a I'm in the kitchen I'm
getting ready there's an event here oh
oh oh okay okay okay do what you need to
whatever you you're having the sh
permeated with the words of the AL which
is great
okay so he
says so the first thing is that every
year a new energy takes place in the
world now listen to what he says here
we're in the Fifth
Line because the energy that there was
each year it goes back it's removed to
its
source hear this what
happens the energy that was in the world
the energy that was in
the the previous year takes ayus it says
goodbye I got to go back to my
source why then H why then because an AR
we know the the crust of the moon is
covered it's
covered the symbolism right it's covered
means it's not there look up where is
the
moon it's not cloudy it's a nice day
where is the
moon it's very small we can't see it
it's
mcasa
particular exactly but this is true H
every single er every single eres every
month in
particular says the energy of R for the
year before for the whole
year that
energy it's
removed
it's it's it's it's the crust is not
seen and all
that continuing inside the text
then by us blowing theer being in
hearing theer all
that and through our
prayers we draw down a a new superal
light from a higher
level within the level of superal wisdom
again you see the words to illuminate
the
superal we're not yet talking about us
on Earth we have to make this very clear
what happens through your
ouros and ouros the first thing is we we
draw a new energy
into this is a very important point
because if
we if we don't have the era to be
renewed if it's not renewed with a new
energy then we're getting guess
what filtered and distilled
water we're getting we're getting water
that's been energy that's been already
tapped and played with and it's not
fresh no and it's a new
year and we're looking to connect to God
and His Essence to forgive us we need to
go to the essence of God as we've spoken
about many times right so how how do you
do how is that possible only if the
energy itself is new and fresh that's
the point
so H this is we go to we listen toer we
blower with the purpose of that is to
create in the now continuing
and to all inhabitants referring
to all the spiritual upper and lower
worlds
spiritually that receives its energy
from the this
energy it receives a new light from the
infinite
God God's wisdom that's invested in it
it says
with you God is the source of
light with your light will see
light this is the light that
shines from superal
wisdom the source of
light says now in the parentheses look
at to those that
know this esoteric wisdom
it is the removal the the The Cutting
away of
the part of the thigh over there of Adam
and from it was built the cell the right
braches was
built Eve came it's this is called in
N Hashem cut out part of Adam's section
there the th thing part of it and and
and for that built up
Eve
so so seemingly it's a it's a surgery
it's a lowering it's cutting it's
cutting Away part of Adam cabala
explains the purpose is even greater to
create you understand so in other words
in order for there to be the potency of
the energy for the upcoming year you
need to remove it first that's the point
that's the point that cab is saying in
order and let's say speak say this for a
moment in practical in order to be
therapeutically healthy and new you got
to cut away the old stuff there's no way
around
it if you go into the new year with the
same old stuff and the same old person
you aren't going to be new like I told
you that that famous ver it says in the
morning give K get up like a lion only
if you go to sleep like a lion if you go
to sleep like a horse you ain't getting
up like a
lion so if you want gari don't go to
sleep like a like a sus you have to go
to sleep like a like a lion in other
words you want to have a fresh energy
for the new year then you have to the
energy itself has to be
fresh if the energy itself is not fresh
you can't you won't have you won't have
that New Year you'll have a year by year
based on Old energy old energy is
tampered with played with
used Etc and we want a new year we need
a new year because we need the and all
that says and in greater
detail not only is this concept true
once a
year but each
day there is the drawing down of superal
wisdom throughout
ding particular it's not the same one
that you doed with a got
yesterday because that energy removes
itself back after
prayer so the the next day is higher
and so too throughout the world the
6,000
years just as this is
true for the world and the 6,000 years
of existence Etc so is it true every
single
R will stop here we'll continue tomorrow
MIT have a great day Z Shalom bye bye
bye okay
