we're on page 195 in the minor of huge fought 1951 tough senior Dolloff towards the bottom of the page chapter four i stolid the he named after him / minded after my father-in-law explains in his moment the incas feel a bit tough pain in my soul that the primary place of the sinner was here below on earth the dharmaja Khakassia Phoenicia and even after it left because of the transgressions marshana bay no brought it down at and below and in the parentheses he says huh Sri mojo happens to be the seventh one as we discussed at length in the last few classes the audience to the earth he returned it back to the earth Delta specifically to the earth a method and now he asked a : now he's quoting his father-in-law's words let's page we can give louie le cose however based on English the primary place on earth yani where we found we find Hashem is presence where godliness Shalom is revealed which is called Gilroy le cose where was that the Bayside meters this is what he says oh maybe I was a Apostle and my father-in-law brings the support verse receive from partial Truman says we also li mikdash wish a haunting to save them I will make make for me a sanctuary wishes Antibes asylum and I will dwell in in in them the sarcolemma it should have said I will dwell in it right make for me a sanctuary make for me a big dose and when you make for me I make this out well there I rest here it doesn't say that it says le bateau ha I will rest in them because called Accord the ever be Slav by making for Hashem a sanctuary of mikdash every person who makes that nick - hashem rests in them and call Akkad vehicle in every personal calabria cos gazelle got a massacre solve this is also referred to in another verse well it says tsadikim years awards the use canola odd Oh al sadiq him they inherit the earth the yeesh canoe and they'd well the odds for eternity Allah ho upon the earth on the earth it Siddiq him you see or death Shogunate when it says bow as the word or 'it's what is the capitalistic understanding of the word or 'it's not not just the actual earth but it's a reference to what we call paradise GaN Eden why did Sadiq him inherit Canadian why did they get it McNish Hamish killing because they make dwell high no mom she said in the rabbit ears in the practice this is the word for another word for my skin him is to draw down mom she's into mom sure they draw down he must show him at the level of godliness called eternal dwelling Marin the cottage from exultation and holiness and they draw down from on high up into the earth so because they do that yoni they get brownie points they get a euro show yes yes hillo right so he can inherit Eretz the land which is grenaded does this next for a question meat nation and MacKinnon or it's a state it's an explanation why do they inherit Canadian why correct and he says the reason is because they have earned it they worked for it because they were mom certain option means I did something to draw you down to draw you in i exerted to the Siddiq him did something and because of what they did it was so special they get Alyosha they get a heritance what's there you're sure that Natan is given to them that's what it says and he uses own and he says big and if you want to know what level that is it says that's the premium that's the level of called chez pinaud Marie of the Kaddish he rests for eternity from exaltation exalted and holy correct that's basically part of what we say sabishii not murder because I Simba hurry right so he says the level of safety not but if the Kaddish is basically the the idea that the tsadikim inherit conveyed for Indian has their destroyer God ain't never invited by mind the rabbit now says our devil says this idea my father-in-law doesn't go into details in his discourse oh my boy will be local dictator but the rabbit says if you wanna know more about that look at Lakota terror of the outer amber I'll pee my mera saaya based on the saying of the Tsar and a footnote 17 in your my mum you have in front of you you can actually see the reference typical tuturro in case you want to look it up later let's continue so she yeah begin with the motto the idea is to take this what what our tradition given they're given an experience of GaN Eden but to feel it as GaN Eden here on earth to have done Natan in heaven comparatively speaking no big deal the finish is the novelty is to experience the level of Ganesh and while you're standing with your feet on the ground that's what he says she you begin early LaMotta this level of safety not moravica - is experienced by them here in revealed way below the zero boss in the garlic nuni this is this is now going back to the opening sentence from C - eat him Shem says I've come to my garden to my place of delight Lamar can show you it could be kilo to the place where I came to initially where I was when I created the world the acres need to be the testimony said the primary aspect of the streeter was below on earth o Indian who the idea is it explains the presence being her Indian Lahav nickname Allah says in a battalion my staff come to elaborate and to explain why was it that the main speaker was here below on earth in other words we have been saying throughout the my Mohini that occurs Reena because shams main aspect of the female botanist was on earth before the sin and through the sins it was all it was removed now he is kind of questioning the premise what makes you say and why do you say that equals healer because telling him I said this is what he wants to get into now the Hien a toddler suck up on everybody's reception or illinois's he says the answer is in in a very one kind of one line idea which needs elaboration which is going to do it shortly when it begins the next paragraph and that is that the purpose and ultimate intent of creating the entire world Toffler shocked Ivana the brie ostrich Towson was illumise Boas it is the famous words of the alto never that's quoted by the Labov achievers throughout then the Sabich of his burrow who God had a spiritual lust Lia slaves but if to have himself deena but after in my home on earth now once you accept that boss as a truism only if you accept that does it make sense to say that Hashem main part God himself was on earth if you don't accept this premise that God desired to have a a boat here at earth then everything else doesn't follow then you could argue that Hashem has more pleasure being with the Angels than being in Las Vegas but if you accept the dictum that Hashem has pleasure from has the ultimate pleasure from being on earth in Las Vegas then what makes sense is that he was here on earth all over including Las Vegas so that's why that there ever says here specifically this idea of the topless acavano why did God create the world because he had the urge this desire this insatiable desire called a tava at IVA that couldn't be satisfied only through being Las Vegas now you tell that to the average person will say you're nuts right you're cuckoo and the answer is that's exactly what Hashem wants is taking the stupidity and folly nourish kind of the physical world symbolized by Las Vegas just for an example but really it's all over us but sure my Fuhrer should lie in Brooklyn Miami wherever you are and wherever you are it's taking that part of your experience that is stupid foolish against Hashem and turning it into a home taking the a dilapidated house rehabilitating it fixing it up and it becomes a masterpiece and it goes on TV where they show you how they take old houses and they make it into beauties that's exactly what we are charged to do and only because of that does it make sense to say that Hashem was here all of God was here he was chased away and he came back who the Torah was given and we have to keep him here yes yes well at the time at the time I assumed I you know I haven't seen this written and I assume at the time the the vibes of Las Vegas were such that the priestess the ability to be her logic and and and and the same time do outreach was the and the ability to be religious and Froome to do and do outreach was a contradiction very difficult it was very difficult it's like you know can I can you be a you know have put up a bad house on Venice Beach no they don't have on they have that they have a shoe that's blocks away I've been there and it meant and maybe today they really have a combative but I was there 20 years ago rabbi Citroen was the rabbi of the shoe that was I think started by lapin rabbi lapin remember he started a shoe on a Venice Beach a kind of a Yungas row and then he left to Seattle Washington or somewhere Mercer Island he lived he went to Mercer Island and Rabbi Citroen took over his shul but it wasn't on the beach I was I one Shabbos he couldn't be rabbi he had to leave he asked me to substitute so I was there and I it was not there was no no issue wasn't on the beach slow mush warts a blessed memory he did you know not make it about house he would go and talk to Jews well there was only one slow mush warts and a second you know I'm saying that's an exception and also I don't know if he would ask a lovely question if they were a rabbi a rub would say the latter do that I would think he would say you're not allowed to do that I'm not gonna go into it he sacrificed himself but again and you know I can't say that he you know he had the rivers approval to stand on Venice Beach with people undressed etc and and put on film with people you know it's it's a very complicated I love a child my point is that we do see that there are areas and places not just Las Vegas where it's kind of forbidden now I you know you'll probably ask me well has it really changed the day 30 February from Shlomo's time fifty years later you would think it's changed for the worse right so I I don't have I don't have an answer but what I do know is that these certain places it wasn't only Las Vegas there were other places the Redbird didn't allow or want a bad house for other reasons for example in Mexico they asked for years they asked to open up about us and the Rebbe said no why because there was a pre-existing Orthodox community all in place and it would cause friction and the rebel wasn't about making friction you know on the contrary so he didn't allow us for years what changed today there is about there I don't know I think a local kebab you know segment wanted hibachi Jules that's a different situation you know met I'm saying every situation has to be looked at we could also argue yoni that Las Vegas in slow most times had nothing later on there's a young Israel of Sephardic shul in other words it's become there's more tradition and the demographic demographics have changed so besides you know the strip you have so many other areas which are kosher which are it's just like you know not down at the beach but you know further away from the beach where you could have a fuel and do whatever you need to do when I would think the same thing is for Las Vegas so once there were more from institutions not Chabad just regular fruit Orthodox institutions it gave away to that's the answer yes right right you know but you're you're right you're right you're in pointing this out the Rebbe Arabic article the secretary who was the one at the time who you know worked unestablished and knew about houses new places they were very very from they were very careful I'll give you okay you know although it's not part of the moment just as an example how religious and careful these people were these this happened with my classmates so I know at first hand in the summer in Chabad we have what's called America's slickers America's is the Habad Organization for outreach right for for education so America switches students take two three weeks each summer since nineteen the early 50s and they visit communities all around you know like like the the Jewish Peace Corps and but in Chabad we called America swishes so friends of mine when America slippers to Seattle Washington I think in in the in the mid-80s in 82 83 something like that and they were there on hi ello hiya was the birthday of the out Loretta and the holy baal shem tov and it was a Shabbos so my friends decided that they will contact the governor or the mayor whoever it was and try to have them issue a proclamation that since the special day of high yellows or Shabbos it's an opportunity for for education and people should make resolutions about strengthening education right this and they had and they arranged it and the and the governor issued a proclamation they sent it into the river because they you know that's their boss right our bosses sent us out to the do this type of work and their ever responded basically that this is outrageous why because since high yellows our Shabbos and you're making a proclamation and an announcement that it's such a special day people will give to duck on Shabbos because it's a special day people will write and use a writing utensil on Shabbos because a special day and he said that and the rebus said that's the greatest desecration of a shams name when your intent is to sanctify God's name and after the rebel explained him writing the reasons why this is not a very bad idea he concluded by saying may the good Lord forgive you I mean that's how sharp they of an of a response to God from them and I remember you know when they told me about this how it was so interesting here they you know like really in other words how many people are gonna really pay attention to this Proclamation it wasn't it wasn't publicized in the main newspapers you know I'm saying it was more of an in-house thing and who's gonna take the time it says oh because a bad mix to some kebab Dixon the mayor had a publicity stint we're going to you know but there ever took it very seriously it'll be very seriously and he he said that this is the opposite of what what we're trying to do which is to bring godliness at Judaism to the world in a holistic way and therefore don't do it so again what do we see that the how careful the Chabad the kebab that needs to be who opens that Habad else and who does outreach it's not just a free-for-all they were very very careful I I just said to the grandson of this rabbit radical he's here in Coral Springs next to my son so I said him if your father and the rebel were alive today I think 50% of what's going on would not take place because they were very very careful and they would not just allow things to happen the way it happens today and your example of not allowing the cabarrus in Vegas and my example of proclamation from Seattle are just two out of hundreds of examples in which they were they didn't allow simply and today because they're not here and you know kind of the ship is running on its own as much as you learn and the rebus talks and you and you follow his direction nevertheless the expression of Yiddish is my massive Shabbos fire Isaiah we make the Sabbath for on our own we decide how we should celebrate Shabbos everyone basically he decides this is what they're ever wanted this is not what we want them and we go on you know and and that's the way God wants it to be right now for the mob average exceed them for whatever reason but nevertheless an honest person needs to look at that and ask themself you know am I really you know following directives the way they called for them during their lifetime or am I making changes and if I'm making changes what are the changes when are the changes and why are the changes and ultimately have I consulted at least a few other people to see if these changes are acceptable yes hello well you know I I mean personally I think there's a breakdown in in in the religiosity I mean in in the religiosity of the levels of religiosity that I experienced when I was asked about our rabbi that in the in the eighties you know and you know I just didn't I just didn't I checked much more with with rabbis I wrote to the river I got responses I got answers and I got direction and you want an example personally when I came to Marin County I think I've told you this but you must have forgotten or it's worth repeating when I came to burn County in in July of 1984 I looked for Jews my job is to find hidden right so there was the the Federation the Jewish Federation they had a list of about 1900 Jewish names I got ahold of the list how I got ahold of it there's another story I got a hold of the list and I decided I saw a flier that a friend of mine in Chicago used for reaching out to people it had a picture himself the rabbi and instead of big words I am NOT Orthodox I am NOT conservative I'm not reformed I am a Jew and then smaller words it says this is at the heart of the Chabad philosophy and it explains you know what about isn't there for we're here for everyone when I saw this flyer I said to myself this is the best piece of publicity for my entrance to the Jews of Marin County and I printed up printed up 5000 cards you know the kind of postcards which would be easy to read and handle you know and I was gonna do a mass mailing I had I had a list of 1900 people and I was going to do a mass mailing but before I did that I sent it into the river my superior to which I did with all my paraffin not much of my paraphernalia and activities to let him know what I'm doing and within a few hours I got a call from the secretary that the rebus said you should not send those out because and he wrote an entire you know kind of paragraph why this is no good basically this will arouse the old arguments and therefore it's not an appropriate message now old arguments usually refers to the amount of the arguments between Hasidim and the mr. Ogden so I said to myself and I then spoke to three people rabbi manis Friedman rabbi label groaner the Rebbe the secretary rabbi okaaaay Cassidy's teacher and the person who was kind of the spokesman for the rebel on on these type of issues and I asked them all I said to them we don't have any snack them in Marin County and we don't have any Orthodox Jew submarine County we have maybe three four or five Orthodox Jews but what's the red that concerned about I'm doing this for the non-religious people so to say that this flyer will will will arouse old unhealthy you know arguments I don't see it it's just not the reality here and eat none of them could answer my question and these are three very you know bright connected people who have been with the river for years you know saying they they said you're right we don't understand it but nevertheless nevertheless I took the five thousand Broco cards I remember I put it into my garbage can like this wasted the money and of course I didn't send it out that's what I mean by listening you do understand that you don't understand if this is your superior and especially if he's a Reb that sadiq and all that he sees something I don't and that's not my concern well that you know that it not let's let's take this scenario guys today you think someone with that would be in my situation would will be throw out those five thousand cards I doubt it highly doubt it because logically it makes sense I was I had I had a great piece of publicity to inspire people so that's is that a good exam is that a good example hello what do you think it is and I'm not saying otherwise don't get me wrong all I'm saying is and I didn't mean only her bad but you only ask the question about why the rabbit didn't want slow-mo to open up about Alice in Vegas so what I'm saying is that the ribbon is secretary they has a very they had a certain approach and there was I mean I'll give you an example for years they didn't have an air-conditioner in their little office they they were very old shtetl you know all of these things that you see today and as you said cabarrus movement is so successful is really but almost post the rebus pass single if not post it's like from the late eighties and on and you understand it yes boss [Music] yeah well that that's different that's definitely for sure that that there's no question about that but but but there is you know a logical equation to this madness and the logical equation to this madness is you know who decides what to do you know so Hill oh when you say the success yeah but but but you know I would have to you know it's a very long discussion just it and give you you know concrete examples of more such issues you know where you just don't do whatever you decide to do you have someone you have to answer to and check with now I'm not saying that you know the rabbis of Chabad House are not checking with rabbis and they are their religious they're Orthodox but the fact is that the ribbons not being carefully and being able to write to him and get responses from him and direction and a yes and no I think the story that I shared with you that I personally experienced this isn't someone told me that but with me is a concrete example of you know of of something that today I'm telling you today would have not thrown out the 5,000 cards I would if the game is erection today but I'm talking about I'm not getting Direction today because it's not physically here and you know and to put in a letter in to egress kodesh that said muna so if I have that level of faith you're right but if I don't have that level of faith I'm not throwing out those 5,000 cards whereas when he was alive and he answered my letter there was nothing that was that's it you know there's not even a question I do understand I don't understand I mean I tried understanding I spoke to three intelligent knowledgeable people but you know and the same is with right at that time Sleiman you know the rabbit told him not to he didn't do it right you know he could have done it who stopped him from doing it but he you know he listened ok later on there was circuses he didn't listen but I'm talking about that particular thing he decided that because this was much earlier in his in his work with the red light you know this was the what you're talking about I think is way way earlier than when he ran he was fully involved in his music and Labov ik and Lakewood and many others already started to shun him so he you know he had to you know go on his own in a sense but at that time he listened just so whether it's low more fifty two listening to but by that opening las vegas for me in 1982 right 30 years later but we both had direct contact with the rapper and that that's what i was saying you know now if someone today feels that and lives with that god bless them I'm not purporting them at all you know if they've but they have to be really honest you know just just to wave a flag or to say I'm accosted and you make your own decision that's not you know and and by the way I want to conclude with this this doesn't contradict you know the freewill and independence and all of that this is just an enhancement of your free will and independence guys we didn't learn more but that was a good discussion so Sunday we'll connect from New York commits a sham wish everyone a great Shabbos and only good things we'll have you all in mind I hope to go to the audio later on when I get off the plane I'll go to the Rebbe zoil and we'll have everyone in mind for for goodness that goes on take care thank you
