so we're in the matza zoo
of the previous slab of 1944 on page 222
three lines from the bottom
um i mentioned yesterday that the
previous level here
introduces a teaching from his
uh great grandfather that's a mercedes
parenthetically something hit me about
three weeks ago
which i put into a footnote in the
upcoming book
semester's father's name was rafalem
out schuler
daughter what should have been the
samarth sadik's name
rebecca mendel out schuler
what did he call himself and a banaca
mendel schneiderson
anyone have an explanation
no one had an explanation no one knows
but
you know all these years here i am so
many years
immersed in in khabar teachings and and
history and it just dawned on me and
when i asked a few
people who are knowledgeable they they
they didn't they didn't even think about
it so um i'm just mentioning since i
mentioned it's amazing
you know it's interesting now it's not a
question and it is a question because in
those days people
took different names you know the whole
saga of
family names uh became uh relevant
during the period in the of the semester
years as rebbe 1840 50 60 i don't know
exactly what year
you know for example the mithila river
the second
bhavatram is called rep was called the
rabbi dove bear
shnay or ori shnay ori
because his father's first name was
schneider schneider's almond but
what what was that what was dr rebbe's
last name though wasn't he
he was called alan barakovich because
his father's name was baruch
it was it was before russia gave
family it was before that period both
right it was during the semester this i
don't have the exact date but this is
public knowledge you could look it up
i'm sure and find out when the tsar
instituted family names i believe there
was
some time in 30 18 30 40 50 sometime
then
and and uh he chose the name schneerson
now we do know that
uh the the because of what the altar
ever went through and the mithla rabbit
both
they had a very uh good uh
name in the governmental office offices
and so it's logical makes sense that he
would choose a more prominent name that
was known in russia
schneerson versus outshuller and because
the the the chemical like his
predecessors
and successors wanted to and
did help jewish people
throughout russia and and the region by
opening uh
factories you know giving people parnosa
people think that um
we're just sitting at home and writing
by maram and teaching hasidis and giving
this it's it's a big mistake a very big
mistake
specifically the laboratory is from the
altar
through hour was very much involved
in in helping yeden throughout
those areas for example the
the the land of um
of the denver denmark
uh forget now certain lit
sections were actually given to the tsa
mercedes
to open agriculture opportunities
for eden and he did that and you're
talking now
and and and thousands and thousands of
jews
had panosa for many years later because
of that and and why did he get it
who was he because he was a schneerson
there's an expression in russian that
they would call rabbina something you
know
rabbi of notoriety so
it makes sense to me that he chose the
name
um you know schneiderlin versus his own
father's family name
outschuler because of
of the prominence that the schneerson
name had
in in in russia
but again i haven't seen it documented
yes motivation in those days
did he himself gravitate
on his own to the
to the i mean i want to call it
but in those days it wasn't exactly
called probably
but did he or did he come from his was
his father
already somehow connected to the mittler
oh
so first of all first of all it's
incorrect
at that time was known and called khabar
and actually it goes back
the name chabad goes back to the alter
episteme
there's a the academics and others have
a disagreement
one what particular year we could we
could point to as the
founding of the chabad movement because
the altered
you know was appointed by rep mendel of
vitepsk and above realm of kalisk
when they left in 1788 eretz isro
so he was appointed as a rebber for that
entire region which was called then
white russia right
and he wasn't appointed as a khabad
rabbi he was appointed as a hasidic
rebel
he replaced them and they were appointed
by
the maggit right so now the question is
when and but yet but yet
we see with the story with um
who wanted to come in he was being you
know pursued and and bothered by the
miss not them so he had to get out of
town
right uh from lita from the from carleen
which is in in the litter region
and he asked permission
of the altered who was the
one in charge of ricin the area was
called rice and white russia
whether he can park himself there he
needed permission they were
this wasn't things were organized
because
from color care and and and and mendel
victor said that he and everyone knew
he is the one in charge so if wanna come
into his territory
you need permission and he asked
and the altar ever told him three
conditions
two of which he was able he was
agreeable
but the third he wasn't which was
that he wanted to teach hasidis in the
style of
polish hasidis and in meaning
also you rely on
on the tsadik and the altar said in this
area
we don't follow that approach we use
chabad
well that's that that tells us an
interesting point
that the alternative though officially
not being
called the chabad rebbe at that time
was seemingly teaching the people
and people that decide
this approach of tradition is not
the approach that i want for this region
so some say that points to the fact that
that's when chabad started
even though it wasn't officially called
okay and others argue although that's
true it doesn't still mean that the
chabad
ethos was the only way to learn hasidis
and etc but one thing's for sure
what i said now is during the outdoor
episodes but during the semester
times it was uh definitely
chabad i mean let's go let's go
let's go 10 years later i was talking
about 1788
1780s in 1798 1799 of avraham kalaskar
from who lived at the time at ferrier
you know he opposed the altered style of
chabad
and he sent rav nachman of bresliv
450 miles out of his way
upon his return for marriage his role
to the alternate but to try to convince
him not to teach
that's the 17 1800 in 1800
so so you're talking about so so there's
no question that from
i would say from 1788 1790 to
1800 sometime during that time
is when chabad became known as khabad
hasidis
there is a safer that rabbi nahum
greenwald wrote
a very large 500 page safer um
it's called rav rav it's in hebrew
and he has a lot of discussion about
what i'm telling you as i'm sharing some
of that
okay but the senate okay thank you
thank you for that oh so that's that
that was one point that i wanted to
correct in your statement
the second point i is an interesting
question i don't have an answer
i don't remember i think that if shalom
the outshooler was already connected to
the altar
as as a chabad husset
i think so
he started his uh connection
before the middle of heaven
one of the daughters of the the
midlander
um yeah that's what i'm telling you new
shalom shocked them married the married
the daughter of the midfielder
oh yeah yeah okay right yeah yeah okay
um i don't know if that you know this is
interesting to hillary and jonas
he wasn't he he wasn't from from from
regin
like the regina no no no i know what
you're talking about no
no okay okay i know what you're talking
about you're talking about
a son or grandson of the of the maggid
who was associated with the regina right
uh his name was
his name was a double chair um forget
now i
i think i know what you're talking about
no that's that's different
no okay this is okay okay out shoulder
out and you know who he was named after
where he came from
i don't know but uh it's it's known it
can be it i believe it's been written
about i just never
spent time on that okay
but so since we're going to learn now
from the the
deck um regarding hashem's
kayakabilty bog rule that we learned
yesterday
and hilo commented nicely on it that
um that there's a difference between
there's a difference between something
that begins deteriorating
from creation versus something that
is not that way and only at the time
when hashem says
now i want it to begin being deteriorate
it begins deteriorating that that's the
kuda that we learned yesterday
and now yo sim that ever brings another
ayah
from let's
[Music]
each one's different the sun goes one
direction the moon another direction the
stars the third direction
each one has what we call
a specific path
this path unison is different than its
friend the other he calls me right
like their friends and buddies you know
we're talking like an about a
i think so i think so well let's see but
i think so
the ava became
they are all with the same objective
the coil the time of day night
winter cold hot
coyotes summer the height of winter
zetter the cuts here
planting and reaping
in other words
they all have one mon one objective to
accomplish
day night cold hot
in other words although they're
different they all work in unison
to create the atmosphere
the temperature the
the distinction between night and day it
all comes together
it's wonderful because with one
one objective mk back to the text
who brings them together asks
if they are
[Music]
separate entities semper bodies
who brings them together to have one
objective
program
who brings them together and kind of
forces them
work together guys don't get into a
fight
some don't interrupt the moon and move
don't interrupt the sun
[Music]
is
it's not the particular soul and drive
within each constellation why
he's only able it is only able to move
based on this particular constellation's
orbit and it would not be able
to do something that is contrary to
its modus operandi
the lei she is
in goggles it would not be able to bind
himself
and join itself to
the other gal gayle the other
constellation
is and it would not lend itself to an
organized orbit one in which
it guards itself it guards siva
its orbit from touching and interfering
the others orbit the years shake it on
the claim
and that it remain diligent where it is
the place that's been designated for it
nishman
that it should be constantly designated
to what hashem wants of it on earth in
the universe
and every one of them individually
does its job all together constantly
it cannot be that ebba says that
its individual orbit would not
get in the way of the other's orbit
i would think the logic is i don't know
if he says it he doesn't
why because since it's limited it has
its agenda if it has its agenda
it says i don't like the other's agenda
right do what my way or the highway
and yet we see no interference
things work out exactly correctly
because there's some greater kayak
that makes them come together that's the
point let's continue
see
we cannot say that what binds them and
what unites them
is something called the supernal
gaga which is called
gauguil hayomi the constellation
the day constellation shaco hagar go and
queen boy that all
others all over gal galion
that the soul of this goggle aelion
who hamas out of them it makes them
orbit like one man
with one objective says
all constellations orbit because
of the general gogola
me i don't know what that is hilo do you
know what this general gauguin
is that he's referring to
i it i mean i think that that like the
daily uh daily uh
circulation the the uh the earth's
rotation out of taxes
that's what i would have meant you
understand what are you saying i
the think no okay
so so one second so that episode 7 says
that it's true he says it's true there
is
a goggle you meet whether it's what hilo
said or what jonas has said or both
together whatever
me come okay nevertheless
all the gauguin are not a
together all the limbs make one body so
the rabbit says it's not similar to
limbs
lois
[Music]
why because mostly by the limbs
each limb is not an independent body
each limb is part of one body
and that's the difference between the
the limbs of
man and the gauguin and the
constellations
the constellations every goggle is an
independent goof
so therefore the rabbit says we cannot
say that just as the limbs of one's body
the various limbs
are all controlled by one body he says
it would not make sense to say that here
because
every single goggle has its own
body and since it has his own body
it's independent and if it's independent
why should it be to get why should it
listen and follow
order and cohesiveness yes
you want to say something youngest and
glad yeah there are
nine nine or eight planets around the
solar system
and they each go around according to
their own
orbit
[Music]
and they are completely independent of
each other
and it's quite amazing the way the way
they do that
have you have you studied unison
astronomy
yeah not in detail but i've done it
very nice good good i'm glad we so thank
you for sharing that so let's see what
that happens is further
there is a one limb is one part of a
body the dublin
and that limb is attached and connected
to the other limbs conversely of
all gal galim ano kane
the constellations are not so king him
rather
like johannes said
every single goggle has its own
independent goof
the proof to this is
it says you see that in their orbit
they're all very different
you know anything could you comment on
that what does that mean that in their
orbit they're all very different
yeah they go at a different speed around
the sun
and and because because one is small
and the other one is big jupiter and
saturn are huge compared to earth and
mars
and fenders so so they go around
and they they but the orbits never
interfere with each other
so that's what it means for rael said
the proof is
the fact that the golem are different in
their
orbit but as as we say they don't
interfere
with
[Music]
orbit from west to east
side of him and there are some that
orbit
from east to west
here ends the language
that we see regarding the seven
what what's the translation of
the trajectory no uh
orbit i think is the best word okay
freelancers yes
is this what he mentions
i don't know i don't know but it looks
like it's a safer that's a so
that has explains um the gold golem and
things like that
maybe we can do a google later you know
anyway
that we see in the orbit and the
trajectory of each of these seven
that they have a particular path
and um it's it's
it's designated for each to their own
and he says this trajectory moshe
of what each of these seven stars
kind of is different than the other
the in kane if so yes
you can't say he says that it's one body
remember
this is this is the difference you're
making between the limbs of a man
in one body versus each of the
golem which has its own body
because because it has a different
trajectory
that's what he says
and it's it's it's it's approach it's
trajectory
it's orbit is not similar to the other
one liam kane
he has to say
because if you were to say that they're
all
part of one goof how can you say some
will
uh orbit this a little bit this way
and some will orbit a little bit that
way will behave examines that
going in different directions sam and
miserable milo if this one's orbiting
from east to west
the zen makes no sense
if it's the same thing that proves that
it's not the same thing
that each one has its own goof and its
own approach
it orbits from east to west
[Music]
orbit um
within themselves kind of of
israel from
has a very uh a philosophical rule
it is impossible to have one golf have
two opposing
uh two opposing forces to be experienced
at once
make up your mind right to left left to
right
east to west west east which way are you
going
it's a two-way street you can't do both
at the same time
that's all points to to the fact yes
moshe
except for that example you guys gave us
i forgot the name of the hustle
that he cried out of one eye
and he smiled out of the other eye
repair
parents of chernikov a.k.a reparats
the
they would see tears from one eye and
low and smiling from the other eye
but you know they looked at him as
not normal how could that be but he was
very normal but he was
on a very high level but they were
talking about badassness
in the world of the constellations
we must conclude that they are
different separate bodies
and we also must say and this is the
point the punch
line that defeated cadaba wants to
explain
that there's a higher force
that's greater than the force within the
constellations
and and and the heavenly hosts
that force is limitless
now if science agrees or doesn't i don't
know
how science would explain this but that
happened you know
the the semester and the rambam and tyra
believes that there is this force
is the force that brings everyone
together
so if you look at it from a table
perspective
from each body's uh celestial bodies
dna they couldn't live together
and this is why i mentioned yesterday
why that we had a problem with the
the the the pharisees it says
he created worlds and they destroyed
each other
you're right if you only look at and
understand hashem
as being
a power of finite
there's going to be destruction because
everyone gets in the way of the other
one
and they can't live together can't orbit
together
but here you see that it's not that way
the sun comes out and the moon goes to
sleep the moon comes out the sun goes
who who tells it who tells it what it
it what is it in in each of these
entities that makes them
go aside so peacefully and calmly
and in a harmonious way for the other
the answer is the koyaka guilty balcony
yesterday
that has nothing and a group
yes and the netherlands of the planet
is connected to to the greater someone
[Music]
yes but but if i understand what what's
being said here is that the
nephesh of that planet is still
glow
yes it is it is but
right good so at the end of the day it's
the higher force and power the built-in
that makes it behave itself
let's learn the kit sir your violin
explains
in a logic and comprehension and a
meditation
that's specific for the third media
called beauty
charisma
this is the greatness meditating on the
greatness of god
that it creates and sustains
infinite worlds that are created and
infinite
he also mentioned that misappropriated
when we look at the heaven we see the
glory of god mitzvah mayam on the
adam from the heavenly hosts we know
ayurvesa built a glue
a bleak wool that god has an infinite
power
swara
earthly hosts exist bemin
meaning the sp not just in the kind
right that's why the kind dies can die
but swash of heavenly hosts the
constellations and
and and the and everything else is
they exist of species the yasbi
and he explained that
that the constellations have individuals
bodies
one has a specific trajectory
nevertheless each one goes towards the
oval or
the overall objective the actually a
slave inside there for chicago
and that overall objective cannot be all
cannot happen if it were to only be from
the perspective
of the soul of the goggle
and even not even
based on the overall goggle whether you
call the sun or whatever the gala
ella
now i wouldn't be surprised that you
know not everyone agrees with this
amongst the jewish philosophers i
simply don't know enough you know we
would have to know what the rasa
if sanji going says i would think that
this is
open for a lot of discussion in the
writings of jewish philosophers
you know this is part of
kakira jewish philosophy
[Music]
okay meaning what what rubber dolphin
what what would you
think would be a counter argument
a counter argument would be for example
that the golgo guymi
the overall goggle is powerful enough to
keep things
uh peaceful and together
now as we have three things here what we
learned
now is three things there is the gal go
protein there is the specific individual
goggle right
the the moon the sun that right the each
of the planets etc
then there is a general gal goggle which
is called gal glyomy
jonathan says that's a reference to the
sun i don't know enough to say what it
is
or whatever that is and then there is
something he says
a force that's beyond the goggles
so i see three things here i'm not
i i i don't know how how uh the other
philosophers um
see it i i just don't know enough
what let me ask you a question
i was going to ask i was just going to
comment that it seems to me that
what this is an argument is kind of the
whole
fundamental philosophical question did
hashem set the universe in motion
uh and you know kind of let it run by
natural law or is there hush
pratius and this is a you know very
robust touchdown argument
okay i could see that yeah i could see
your point
based on on what the rep is saying i
could see that
maisha what are you saying well i was
gonna ask something slightly different i
mean i
you know we're talking about astronomy
here uh and one of the things that i
seem to remember
coming across and i i don't i never
confirmed this
but is it possible that the rabbit held
that the earth is going to sound very
bizarre maybe
but is it possible that the rabbit held
that the earth
um that the earth
is that the sun the sun revolved around
the earth
yes yes it's a good model
go ahead as anybody i mean if either of
you
have any of you ever heard that the
rabbit held this way
well i i do know that the rebbe
uh there's in one of the books i've read
he describes sort of
uh he sort of uh
defends that idea or promotes that idea
that the sun revolves around the earth
from the perspective of
you know when you have bodies in motion
depending on where your
your perspective that's uh that's you
can view it from that way
um i have seen that i think that there's
a discussion of that in the goodness
it begins with a gemara you know before
the rapper 2000 years before
there is a gomorrah and what does the
gemara say
you you know that the gemara speaks
about this right i think it's above
basu yeah yeah what is the gomorrah's i
mean the gemara's
gamora's perspective is that the sun
revolves around the earth
thank you
so much begins with a gemura the rebber
and and others grapple with that and how
do you explain that
but it's a gemara
and was there is is there any definitive
um is there any is anything that
definitive that says
or is there is it do we know how the
rabbit held definitively or
i i i there's numerous
letters that are published on this and
talks that have been
given by about oriented scientists
uh i i cannot talk intelligently about
this i tried over the years as a
younger man you know you have to really
you have to know science you have to
really know
and um i just couldn't wrap my head
around it it was
i just couldn't so i can't answer that
definitively i can't tell you but
that the gemara says that is definite
but but you know you you know take out
you must have at home some of these
books science and torah
and see what they say and i i know that
there are disagreements
amongst the orthodox scientists on this
issue
and uh i think that
many of them or some of them did not
accept the rebbe's arguments
so this was you know discussed
and there was an or there was or maybe
is an organization
called orthodox scientists you ever hear
of that organization it was out it
started in
here in new york years ago the 50s and
60s this was a very big topic
and they naturally discussed things with
the rapper because he was
so studied in addition to knowing torah
so he was
a man who couldn't deal with it
feinstein that wasn't his field or a
byron cutler
that wasn't their field you know i'm
talking about someone who studied the
sciences
and knew it i mean salvation was the
rapper was
you know so they uh there are letters
from the rabbit to the orthodox
scientists and back and forth and they
had yahidis
so this you're identifying moisha um
a part of history that has that was
dealt with but
i i cannot say in good faith i i i can
say
definitively there was there is a book
when i was a booker i remember
reading and trying to understand that
called
how he say science mother
mother and moon or something that they
collected all of the rebbe's scientific
letters in one place and um
you know oh you know in english it's a
or a torah journal
from professor branover
and maybe it's online today maybe you
can find this online
there there was a lot of discussion
about this
i have to go to another share we'll see
everyone tomorrow we will learn i'll let
you know
bring the letter the letter let's start
learning the letter from 1934
i assume you still have it on your
computers right that we we
we learned from purim there's a section
there from pesach
yeah yeah okay zeitgeist everyone thank
you have a good day bye bye
