as it says
in what does it say
there listen to this
um the e e
means is the secret of all
secrets explains this
statement even in the hidden
secret superal
worlds God's also hidden from them don't
think that those angels and those
Celestial beings and those holy souls
that are up
there have more of the essence of God
than we do no they
don't they are in as much of a fog as we
are I'm paraphrasing why
because no thought can grasp him can
grab
God even in the upper
worlds there's only one way you can grab
hem you know what that is by putting on
your tillin and Aza and visiting someone
doing a Mitzvah you grab them that
way I don't care anything else it's a
nice Fascination a nice coloring it
sounds good it's exciting it feels good
but you're not grabbing him you're
really grabbing yourself CU you like
this Fascination this excitement this
party right what Adel say come to a faan
because a faan is a nice cdic party so
you have nothing to be scared of you'll
have popcorn tea Scotch VOD beer some
nice singing Soulful singing and nice
words and you feel great that's very
true someone has them themselves not a
mute please mute yourself you only need
mute yourself please
so Thea is Thea is that don't think that
him the ones up there the Angels etc etc
have grasp grab more of God they don't
because Les
now this this thought just could you see
if this thought was realized by all of
us and by everyone in Mayar or in
GAA or in all of the Yeshiva learning as
we've discussed it would be a different
type of learning I'm not saying they
would become but it would be a different
type of learning
Les the the the the person who comes
into a Sho and breaks their teeth saying
kades for a parent because they weren't
raised saying Kadesh is just as close if
not closer to God than the one who's
been striking in Yeshiva for 10
years but if you say that to them
they'll think you're a a
heretic but when you learn this piece of
Tanya quing
to so
would be those that are in Yesa for 10
years are those that were uh you know
didn't have experience just giving an
example and what does the
say but what do you mean I've been
learning all my life if it's very good
that you're learning all your life you
should continue learning but remember
that when it comes to God's
Essence God's Essence is not in your
pocket because you learned 10 years and
he's not in the other person's pocket
because he didn't learn 10 years Hashem
is to everyone and Hashem is available
to everyone and the essence of the soul
is everyone's so therefore you continue
learning and learn with humility and you
that hasn't learned start learning and
share your menite your humanity and
decency with everyone including those
who are learning and then we'll have a
nice sandwich we'll have a nice
relationship where people will learn
from each other and people won't
disqualify each other I'm I'm better I'm
higher I'm you
know greater and and the other is so
this is all part of it let's
continue wait wait wait no no I got I
got to finish a few lines give me two
minutes
please what we understand from this zah
is that the way God is found in in the
upper
in so he's actually found here
below Hashem is as much Below in on the
beaches of Venice Beach as he is in the
heaven with the
angels so what's the
difference between the upper worlds and
the lower
ones
that's the answer how much of God's
manifestation is revealed it's called
G Revelation from the
concealment so we have a term used in is
called or or is different than shef shef
what water when water is given it's
called the flow of water when water
flows it leaves its space its place and
it comes down to
us or or a sheemish the sunlight that
you guys have now I understand in in Ro
and the right the the is there any
diminishing of the
sunlight that that it it it it shines
where you are and by us it's cloudy here
and things like that
no why because there's a difference
between we call the influence of or and
shef you'll discuss this with your
sholom in North Miami and I'm sure he'll
give you a whole lecture on it because
I'm not giving a lecture on that now
just briefly the difference between or
and
shef let's take a teacher and a student
RAV and tment Rabbi RAV teacher tment
student when a students desires when a
teacher desires to teach a student he he
or she the teacher need
to to contract their broad knowledge and
then communicate what they want in that
amount that they're going to share and
guess what that amount of knowledge
leaves its place and it enters the world
of
student we call that
shefa and guess what to do that you get
tired to give a she a chapter like this
takes me a lot of time to
prepare because I need to a understand
that
myself
B find the words and the thoughts how to
teach it to you guys you right so when
you do that it's what we call an
his like as it's a it's toil it's energy
and you get tired it knocks you out in a
good way but it's right let me ask you
when's the last time the sun got tired
from
shining never you know why because the
way the sun shines higher is in a way of
automatically there's no there's no it
doesn't involve
itself in the
shine it says I am here the Fireball the
sun the sun comes up go it goes
automatically that means that it doesn't
take
involvement and that's why it shines all
over equidistant and all
over on a place of Garbage When the
Shine it's shining on the garbage but
the garbage smells why are you shining
on the garbage cuz that's what sun does
it shines and it doesn't discern between
schutz and CLE and
cleanliness so the AL says that the
difference so
says that when we talk about when we
talk
about the the so the the way Hashem
permeates and and and radiates the world
it's in a way of
R the difference
becomes be by the receivers so the the
garbage doesn't do anything right we
when it gets too hot we put on the air
condition or we close the blinds or we
walk in the shade so all of those things
are G May a revelation from a concealed
state but that's all it is there's no
change in the very Sun so too there's no
change in the very Core Essence of
Hashem the fact that we interpret and we
adapt in a certain way to God's
revelation that's us uncovering the God
within us and within the world and how
we relate to it which is fine but it
doesn't change
God this is what we've learned today
with tomorrow we'll learn more yes Y
what do you want to
say so the what we were discussing
before about the angels and about how
someone he learns he's not a learner if
he does
t you know we live in in today's Times
where and we're all guilty of it
especially more maybe in the world but
there is such a emphasis on Jus and and
you know who we're going to marry into
and this one learns and this one doesn't
learn and this and it seems like they
we're missing this aspect of uh of T in
in this very real subject this real uh
you know everyday thing all I could tell
you is
the when
people kabad wrote to him there's a
proposal for my son or my daughter and
this family that
family and they indicated to the but it
doesn't have the where I come from where
my family comes from and the took his
little pencil you know the would use a
pencil till it became like
this and he would cross it out with a
big
X and the sometimes answered AB didn't
have
either but listen
you know there's nature there's
culture you know um I could say that in
kabad has been a big change in that area
for the
good where many uh kids you know who are
marrying who come from Bali trua parents
are marrying the from people from
children from families of long line and
and all that so there's been there's
been a
change um at the same time to to
completely
invalidate Yus as a as as something
important with a a one before the
zeros the zeros only become important if
there's a one in front of them and the
one is the p is the PO is the
person so different cultures in
different
communities you know this as you said
this is an issue you know marrying
people who are Ben Ben toras you know uh
they learned in Lakewood or in pavich 20
years or whatever you know they need a
certain family and you have the same
thing in rebish
families where with their grandchildren
from kic rebies they you know they need
to marry into a granddaughter of another
or a great granddaughter
you know uh it's not you it's
not it's well it isn't it is it's not
like they didn't they learn Tanya I mean
it's not about learning Tanya it's it's
it's about understanding this concept
that we're
discussing but it takes work and and
it's not easy you know you have to
always understand the other side you
know you have to understand
and the more humble you are and the more
honest you are and you and you and you
work on yourself then then Things become
clearer but it it's it's work it's work
and it's hard work and it's you know and
not not everyone uh goes that way you
know not everyone goes that way listen
we had you got you had a wonderful great
tal
inab MTZ we spoke about this many times
and he was a l he wasn't aidic Jew but
if you knew him and you saw the way he
dressed and and you saw everything about
him you know he had a great humility you
know he he he didn't identify with the
thetick you know but he was a hardcore
litu and a and a b probably in sh but
you see the personality the person it's
up to the person it's not about what
Community you belong
to I met someone in the in a flat bash
who's A rebi in h Berlin okay that's
that's yon's one of yon's yeshivas high
in Berlin you know and he says to me my
kids say his kids go to Lakewood he says
my kids tell me why do you come
toab it's not good for
our that's what he tells me and he used
to go to the
rebba so I saw that he was kind of you
know was pretty serious pretty you know
so I I said to him are you going to
allow your kids
to obviously you're not cuz I met him in
a I was there for shabat but look don't
you realize how false that narrative is
it's a is from
heaven and if someone doesn't want you
as a because your father goes into bab
you shouldn't even want them run the
other
way yeah so there there is you know
there is unfortunately a lot of this
happening and it's it's not it's it's
throughout it's not just you know
L it's that whole the whole makeup
and what I can say is learn from the Reb
the re was a yeid who wasn't involved in
these things at all that that's what
made him and makes him someone who so
many people of different kinds and even
more so today after his passing almost
30 years is because he was pure in these
areas really he he had no agendas he
really had no agendas yes when the when
the told the IR Reb came to him in 1963
or the bell of Reb came to him in 1981
he encouraged them to introduce the
study of their yes and he said you don't
want to learn T learn more of a sheemish
you're learn another safer
name I'm not telling you what is to
learn you're not La you don't have to
learn a safer but
is and you are that's what you say told
the
BS so
study teach you know to your
students but
again that was because he believed if
you're of the B you ought to learn
otherwise what's the difference between
this approach and the nonic approach
they don't learn they learn mus which is
wonderful but the B introduced the the
additional idea of learning no but it
wasn't a Personal Agenda or someone came
into the rebi he had a beard he didn't
have a beard he wore this color yamaka
or he wore no
yamaka
I mean you know today you could see a
little bit of this on video but I grew
up with this I you know what I'm saying
I saw this with my own eyes and I heard
it and I smelled it it it it was so
palpable so palpable so so I'm just
saying that and I'm sure there's there's
even amongst
the
and you
know I'm every Community you know and
those are people who we should learn
from I can I can't imagine I mean I told
you I've spoke to him several times I
can't imagine that that you know that he
would you know push his agenda on
others you
know a Jew comes to him he talks to him
he tries to advise him he asks him you
know and so uh that's it anyway guys
have a great day everyone we'll see
every everyone tomorrow mem a good
touch byebye good shabas byebye
whoever's leaving
