the minor which we're learning out the
top Russian bus 8 8 1942 and we are on
on top of page 152 in which that ever
says over here in the Mimer
that there's another cause all to view
Schuller it says it's stock your
persuasive voted gaze at three things
they're a lot to bully their Veda if you
will gauge if you will look at these
three things and you'll think about it
you'll never do a sin really well before
I can analyze what the three things are
why does it say stock ale that's very
unusual language in Hebrew what should
have said today row air right through
yeah that's the conventional word for
looking at something observe these three
things and you will avoid sin it doesn't
say impurity of OHS a but I I today
rather it says what it says it says he
stuck out his stock he'll gays so there
ever says because this goes in unison
with what we just said the
interpretation of a xel-há camara is an
island and so hakama as milk means focus
on the the idea the hockey is a hakama
the ear that's a particular focused
gazing means mind focus that's what
gazing means mind focus and when you
have the mind focus then things will be
crystal clear to you let's continue our
152 on top of the page the symbol of the
line
Theo's he may wish my god Miriam well if
you mean by Serena because from this is
for sure so much happen alia
hello
okay okay okay okay we gotta get back to
the text because you screw me off okay
but the someone should have Analia the
Somerset hide behind something Trevor
Dahlia through our learning it would
dedicate it to her to show us he may he
ever like be show my friend when a
person Moshe is is at this level when a
person engages in this activity I don't
want it to sound like this is only for
you know fleeting Keaton great subdeacon
he's talking to us when we lurk I said
this it's talking to bus in Beth Shemesh
in 2020 you got it it's talking to us
today so he says for us he me he
absently be shooting from the hustle of
my shaft when you are in this mode to
view of gazing at God and godliness and
creation and create Torah it is
impossible EF Schad it is impossible but
you might fit in any way shape or form
LaHood said Markov study to remove your
thought you call her meadows and all the
emotions me you know actors from the
idea of actors what does that mean that
means I guess that means like this now
isn't listen listen with your mind
lifted this is a very important idea the
outer that bin chapter 18 and Tanya
talks about an individual who he labels
cows typically the most lenient of all
lenient people meaning someone who
really in excuse the expression but just
as simple he was just to make the point
he don't give a damn about anything okay
nothing favish them he just wants the
best what he wants to do I want to
indulge I indulge I want to be holy I'm
holy you know there's no discipline in
his life we call such an individual Carl
Shepard Kali right
what's a cowboy's someone who's Ling
he's always looking for the heckler he's
looking for a way out
you know it's Kyle Judaism it's Hector
you disguise you know how can I get a
hectare to leave the television on so I
can see the Superbowl game how can I get
a hectare for my company to be open a
Shabbos and make them and make money how
can I get a headache how can I get a
hectare how can I get a hectare to eat
something that I really should be more
careful about not eating it's all about
Hector the Hector game and unfortunately
we have a lot of people that are into
the Hector game I don't care how long
the period is or our short debaters
there their mindset is had their
orientation okay so the color in cuz
I'll call an individual like this a cow
and that's why you should know they were
abundant I had I knew a rough like that
in San Francisco when I was there and
then in Los Angeles they do shots
they knew the Talmud they came from
Sobotka
they came you know they they were
proficient but there was such a cow
they were so lenient and they made gave
him and and getting and and and and
gettin that that no normal Road would
accept and do okay and for whatever
reason good or bad people use them
because they weren't gonna take these
responsibility of making someone a gare
when they didn't feel they're really
ready to be a gare but this rabbi was
taking the responsibility and he's
officially an Orthodox rabbi and he has
officially you know and he's part of the
RCA or this organization so I I'm not
going to say that the the more Markman
rabbis and all of these towns didn't
rely on the more cow rabbis that's a
whole other story if you're so from how
can you rely on more Kyle rabbi oh he's
good for you when you need him he's good
for you when you need them what is what
you don't need is the worst charlatan a
fakir and and it's outrageous and thrown
out of town but when you need to convert
someone
you don't want to do it because you're
gonna feel so guilty cuz you know that
they're not ready for converging yet you
don't believe they're really Jewish
right so what do you do you say go to
such a such rabbi and he'll take care
you he'll help you and for a few bucks
and a few hours you get it certainly get
a note you're Jewish and a Duncan the
mikveh out to come you're Jewish right a
cow a linear person yeah right a cow
says the out says the out there but
listen to this look at what kind of
special listen to a kind of special
revered this was special Judy Alton ever
was and why hypocrisy this for 200 years
is is not just surviving to thriving why
because of its principles values and
philosophy it's not because of the cake
it eats and the signs of caries
it's not because of that it's a because
of philosophy of Lubavitch of Caban as
the outer Deborah said it as the founder
is rich and genuine and important for
the continuation of gibbous kite Torah
Judaism color Judaism sly babka Judaism
politics Judaism Waco Judaism Muir
Judaism okay what is Delta diverse a
chapter xviii you guys learn to feed us
what does he say he says there that a
cow said the column EF surely live
buoyed by sin he cannot deny the the
oneness of God he can't deny God and his
language there is e f-sharp before he
cannot deny he doesn't say he does not
deny he says even if he wanted to deny
he can't that is a most fascinating
statement that only a person Miguel to
that but could make about a Jew why
because it's the truth
if you dig down deep deep deep down in
the Jews heart you will find that golden
precious the summer who says I am yours
God
yeah but before you dig down out
outwardly there's a lot of smokes and a
lot of stand a lot of stones until you
get to the treasure wait down in the in
the ground it's a lot a lot of work but
at the end of the day that's who the
person is the person isn't the cover-up
the sands the rocks this woods the real
jewel is the drama that that's in there
which we called by meeting by name Amina
says the altar every chapter you press
even at you here even a Jews a couch at
the college he's so lightweight in his
attitude towards God and Tori mitzvahs
that other Kali that other lightweights
say about him
you're a cow that's how lightweight he
is for for a heavyweight to say about a
lightweight you're a lightweight is no
big deal but imagine they're a bunch of
lightweights in the room and they all
turn around to one particular light when
they say you're such a cow wait a minute
but you guys were saying in our oh so
lightweight Colin yeah but not as much
as you you're beyond the pale you know
you are what you're doing is we would we
wouldn't do it
that's what kind of cow cow shabby Colin
and notwithstanding what type of cow if
this is a this is interpretation I heard
from one of my teachers
I never heard otherwise and I'm sure you
never did it's a beautiful
interpretation cow sermon Colin says the
out that have been trapped in your chest
and pay too high and Tania trifle
highest life even a culture the Colin
has in the summer that an EF that cannot
even if he wanted to deny God now when
you think about this and when we learn
here why am I saying this because the
top line says when you have the ear when
you have the gazing experience of
godliness look at the words motion
II have family it is impossible to for
this individual pursue my friend in any
way shape or form lajas in my shaft to
remove his thoughts the follow me this
and all of his emotions the actors from
the topic of unity you can't help
yourself wherever you go and whatever
you do regardless one thing that only
one thing is on your mind after success
do I find unity so he logos through
Mexico he's going for a conference is
going for there he's on top of a
mountain
he's down in the low Valley someone else
is going to to the Grand Canyon and
another person is going to Dubai
wherever you are there's only one thing
that's in your mind
Aster's can I find Astor's here or
better said how do I find after session
here everything is about octaves that
that's the answer that's the Chabad
answer in kebab language and saba the
Chabad languages it's about Altos and if
we cannot point to after session and
what we're doing and where we're doing
it we better check ourselves out and get
and get and get a get moving so you
could go to the Grand Canyon and you can
go to New Mexico and you can go to China
and you can go here and there and
everywhere but make it an active
experience spiritualize the experience
when you do that when you do that it's
it's impossible for you to deny God you
don't think so it's not only shelling I
don't deny God because I learnt in
Halawa so I had a rabbi or said so
that's all being imposed on you on your
mind your hurt on your behavior and
that's wonderful and important right
because the bottom line is that you put
killer on say in the morning or not I
don't want to know about whether what
come under you had I need to know did
you put the pillow not you put them on
get the demonstra now
let's see how you did the mix for how
you can prove it how you can handsome
yes boss god yes yes yes now the river
I'm the Reverend the 1943-44 wrote a
long essay on this idea and how you
reconcile this idea with the many states
across all that says someone who doesn't
do this doesn't have a halo can Olam
haba so I encourage you you know if you
want to really pursue it to read that
essay and it's I think today might even
be in English as well but but yes the
Alpharetta doubt that ever believes that
the real the real heat the real jus not
only not never like this can he
logically right but Boas listen what the
outfit ever sayings like this that
whether or not consciously illogically
the person can deny God the answer is
yes but the truth and deep down is that
really who the Jew is cannot deny God
because it's an oxymoron the sold in the
Shoah is Kayla Kayla come out Yehuda the
soul is a divine part of a shell so if
if the soul motion is a divine part of a
shed how can a divine part of a ship go
against the Shem
it's it's it's tantamount to the same
idea to God create a rock that he
himself can pick up you've heard that
philosophical idea and the answer is the
answer is it makes no sense if he's God
he could do anything if he's not God
then what's the question so you can't
you can't say I have two gods that
that's got to be heresy
there's only one God so what didn't he
can he make a rock that he himself can't
pick up if he makes it he can pick it up
and if he can't pick it up he's not God
so it's a contradiction it's an ox
we call that an oxymoron so two is
one second if you say that the new
summer is a sailor get a copy Malik we
learn to chapter two and Tanya from eel
right from job it's not out to rebus
novelty it says it really earlier
especially cibola swaram right so if you
accept that and the Torah does accept
that and that's who the Jew is how can
you say that my soul so go against what
it is if it's a soul it's God and if
it's not if it's not if it's not God
it's not so that's why the Boas I hope
you hear this so that's what our ever
says that a couch of a column cannot
deny existence of God because guess what
that's the inherent makeup of every Jew
including a culture but Alan are you say
but outwardly he does deny God sometimes
through his activity and behavior and
feelings and beliefs and all that that's
only the outer part of the person the
mind the heart but not the essence yes
yoni pause this question but to expound
on this question what about I mean we
know that in the tire there's certain
exceptions like Yoshi is an exception
you know today you could say George
Soros may be an exception I mean there
are given I mean nobody suggested he
wasn't a hit except for the Christians
but it was the end right
so does he still have a feeling you know
yes even even your skill your skin and
anybody else everyone has a sale no one
no one isn't the business and able to
pull out a Jews soul does we we did not
put it there and we can't take it out
and anyone thinks they can the Rebbe
already in the 1980s stormed stormed
against certain rabbis in not far from
where you guys live who tried out ste
certain Jews from the Jewish community
and said that the reason the Holocaust
came is because there was great
assimilation in Europe and the
spoke and I heard it from his own mouth
he was adamant that he brought sources
in some Sofer in the right in the
earlier writings where it says contrary
to that but I'm going back to the ball
Italia and I'm telling you the ball of
time he goes back to earlier writings so
the answer is yoni yes the person who
who is a trouble maker needs reward will
get reward and Punishment will get
punishment I'm not no one is
contradicting that but that's not the
essence another so in other words and
others like this it's like you know for
your misbehavior you go to jail you get
you know you get you get a punishment
but it doesn't mean to say that you are
not a Jew it doesn't mean to say that
you have no hope on the deepest level if
we could reach that deepest level of the
Jew and-and-and the Jew will do such a
jouvert which is called from great love
as he says in Chapter 7 and Tonja and
blends what that means
then there's atonement for everything
but torment for everything from God's
perspective in human behavior and on
earth you gotta be locked up and you
will be locked up so two different
things but you're addressing yoni is the
human side and I agree with you there
what I'm addressing and what we're
learning as I see this is the godly side
and to say that the unis side overrides
the godly side I'm sorry to say is also
heresy who who are we to say that in a
philosophically it's wrong because if
the essence of the person is the
neshamah
again if you don't accept that the
essence of the person is the soul like
Plato and Aristotle didn't accept it
and then no problem then it's only body
you're here for a certain amount of
years you may have a certain way you get
a reward you behave another way you get
a punishment and life goes on and finish
next let's be the piece of meat one
piece of meat another piece of meat and
we go on comes along comes along citizen
says it's not about
Sumeet this is Ana Shama this is
something entirely different and look
let's look at the facts we look around
the world I don't care if it's lit Fox
farted Hasidic how many Valley chuhwa
it's not for this attitude of the outer
Reber wouldn't be here today wouldn't
have children grandchildren
great-grandchildren I mean it so so the
facts on the ground are like what the
outside have the saying it's only
because the guy at a chitara I don't
care he's not a faucet but a guy a
shutaura who was brought in better
Weinberg and his people and he came
because of 48 reasons of happiness or he
came because of some other reason right
and he comes or the the the the dare the
don't Garrett's right Tula Baba giguère
who was was dating the ugliest a girl in
Australia and and wanted to marry her
and she turns and a Jewish girl a Jewish
girl and says to him I can't marry you
I'm a Jew and you're not he says what is
what does that mean so he starts finding
out what it means to be a Jew and he
learns he's bright that he studies oh
and then she says I'm sorry we have to
break up but this is not it's not going
in a good direction and he shook up
about the break-up he loves her he likes
her he wants to marry her sorry I'm a
Jew and you're not he goes back and he
says what does it mean to be a Jew and
he discovers that his mother was
actually on a Sufi and a Sufi means
someone who was left at a doorstep and
no one knows who the parents are and how
logically it's a very complicated
schuyler of moms iris maybe they're
Jewish maybe they're not so we have a
law following the REA of the majority
and then out in the out in Australia at
that time for the 30s afford is whatever
it was 20s 30s or whatever he didn't
have many Jews in those areas so the
rabbi's rule that it could be Jewish but
she
the conversion and he needs a conversion
so she's not interested so she remains a
guy he now wants to become a Jew he
becomes a Jew and he becomes a real lead
then he becomes a town of Holcomb and he
converts after seven years because they
put him they put him through hell to
prove that his really wants to be a Jew
it's not a mama pop sears-roebuck
you know conversion gare you buy it for
few bucks this this is this is real
stuff seven years of learning and
governing and proofing you really want
to be a Jew you need this big attic
Shabbos you don't turn on lights and
this and that and he says yes and he
learns and he becomes a star he's a
maybe no Shas and you'll see the signals
Cibola he's a teacher and he was he led
about through via Shiva for many years
right all of that is only because of one
thing because we believed in the
neshamah if you wouldn't believe in that
Hashem but you wouldn't give the person
a second chance any time of the day and
this is what the out there that is
saying over here let's say that the
Vedic Rev is saying here the FLI Basu my
from the hustle my shaft at home is
reenactors so when you're visiting
you're going to vacation somewhere and
you think you're going you have to ask
yourself am i exploring and finding
afters here if not I gotta do it in
other words I can't I can't feel
comfortable in my vacation or in my you
know you who the said if you were months
but what if it was in New York he went
to New York he went to the Rebbe he went
to 770 great you have to ask yourself is
770 do I find octaves here
am I not my guide next door and not the
people dancing out the people who
Dominic do I find asked us now today
we're in Clairol today the Sunday will
be back into Shem every experience is a
new experience and the barometer is one
idea as Hashem
that's what it says here overall I see a
civilian Abdullah by his body and
someone who is in the mode of Actos all
of his action
and his ideas Davo are attached by his
birth to God Almighty
but vacancy Florida yesterday Isabella
Boehner with tremendous vehicles Hillier
will look if it vehicles and when yes
Wendy when do you get the Vegas when you
see the king with your eyes it's so
crystal clear to you that you see with
your eyes again mind's eye that that's
what you have two acres and the vehicles
is not you know is not chuckling it's
not screaming is not talking
Draco's is a very deep inner feeling
where I'm glued I can't decide I can't
disobey
I'm stuck I've stuck to God not stuck in
a negative way I have this such a love
for em that I do back I am glue touch
them
that's a very different experience and
that only comes when after you meditate
you understand you meditate you think
and you come you say it's clear to me
that this is a cottage borough and this
is something we need to work on this
doesn't come again from pizza and ice
cream and popcorn and the Super Bowl it
doesn't it never has and it never will
and never it never will and beer and
beer it never will okay I don't care how
old the beard is and how shots you know
and die for you me
it doesn't come from that it comes from
switz it comes from effort it comes from
a lot of work a lot of hardship and then
when you experience that I don't mean
God forbid to look for negativity and
look for you know problems no but work
work working on yourself and refining
yourself then you can come to Draco's
where you feel without coming to shul I
feel empty psyche I didn't put on my
pants in the morning it's like I didn't
need today
I'm starving a faster you're starving
right one day not being a shoe
if you're able to go to school you're
feeling fine and one day not learning
when that day visiting something we're
not there helping I'm making a phone
call how can I help you how you feeling
you say my day is not the same
that's the ef5 remember this idea EF
shall I be sure I think the hustler my
shaft the first line we learned today
impasse it is impossible for me in any
way shape or form to remove my mind and
my heart from the unity of God
that's the barometer if you want to know
if you're a loving God with God if you
really are in trinkles that's the
question you have to ask yourself can I
can i really say to myself I cannot
separate you God or I could say I could
separate myself from you God but I like
you make me comfortable so I'll hang out
with you slide my mouth talks about
lovesickness
in in if share sharing right what's the
lovesickness the demands can have he
can't be sick because he doesn't have
his his lover that deep feeling of of
love overwhelms the person but healthy
not not you know an infatuated crazy
unhealthy relationship that is horrible
horrible for who you are and what you
can't be and what you won't be if you
engage in this narcissistic so-called
false love its nourish tight okay it's
only temporary and sometimes people and
sometimes they're not there yet and they
only see what they in front what's in
front of their eyes their narcissistic
they're there though ego-driven they're
infatuated and on and on and on that's
why they have mental health issues that
are so rampant today in our own
communities that we could probably use a
psychiatrist psychologist a social
worker on every block at least one
because
it's bankers what's what what why you
know you said well my grandmother and
grandparents came from the shtetl in
Europe you don't think they had you
should go you don't think they had
issues you know but somehow I don't know
I don't know how but it you know it all
they went together and the world you
know today today it's gone to areas
which is causing a lot of problems yes
hello let's go back yes they're just
trying to comment that I saw in the
Nasima Shalom this morning a piece where
he uses a very similar idea to explain
the fuss of the case the first case in
purchase momentum of the evident in
three and at the end of seven years he
says seven seven is a patina of Shabbos
which is a patina Vava which is the
quality of love that's supposed to raise
you up so that that you have love of God
and you see that all love is greater
related to God but if he still says I
need a heaviness i I don't need I live I
loved my master but I also love my wife
and I also love all these other things
he still hasn't really gotten to the
mucker of love and where Chavez can take
him so that's why he that's why he asked
to have yet another round but he says if
it says slowly I'll become a he'll be a
slave Lola but it's not really low alum
its Tilly oval because the oval is the
next deeper quality of child is that he
abused you know the restraining say you
can't have olim Haza
and Olam haba together you may you gotta
make a choice you want this world you
want that world now so how do you
reconcile that with Torah do loadable
Kemal if it says having greatness in
Torah and having the doula meaning you
know wealth in one place how do you
reconcile these two ideas the answer is
it's not about the quantity it's the
quality in other words what's your
mindset if your mindset is
worldly matter that's your mindset if
your mindset is godly matter that's your
mindset so it's not about what you have
what you don't have it's the attitude
and what's behind what you have you
don't have let's continue another few
minutes so he says well the same number
we stock hilltop get that's why the
rabbi same picky of us gays the penis
Leah you should look and see if Ozzy out
the balladeer Veda and if you'll have
that KZ and clarity of God you will not
come to do a sin vena cava logistical
zoo beginner bye - Leo vehicle available
pearl mommy's and he says like this the
purpose the intent of this castle is not
that only that this gazing will protect
you that you won't come to do a sin and
will shame that bull Avila training his
brothers he says here a much deeper
thing you know there is bottom-line
don't need your sin just like I told you
before by the lines you put on tuned
today or not now to talk about it in the
in the other way not doing the sin I
didn't do the sin because I was paid I
was bribed I didn't do sin because my
kids are gonna say ABBA you're such a
faker you're a hypocrite so I didn't do
it that's the bottom line
the bottom line is I didn't do it says
there ever if you really betray us and
God some of you this if you really love
a ship and you're really bound to a ship
and you really connected to a shammy not
only don't you do the sin bottom line
you don't even desecrate God's will the
spirit of the sin that's why it says for
ain't October Moshe Lidia Vera what I
mean the handles of Anna Vera it should
have said you who'd uh they ain't out
the ball la Vera right pinky of us Moshe
you learn pinky of us hey stockin
persuasion thought it look at three
things where you come from were you
going to and the freshmen you'll have to
give and if you
those three things you won't commit a
sin it doesn't say that it says you
won't commit the handle lead a you're
dying the handle of a sin what is that
referring to so we have we have the
interpretation of the commentators but
the way hasidic sees it again is that it
means we what you won't come you won't
come to to violate the spirit of the law
but it's only yes but it it's you know
it's fashionable today
yoni to you know to do what's right
because there are cameras all over it
used to be when the kebab dish went into
Williamsburg they can beat them and they
can throw them and they can throw exit
them but no longer because we got
cameras shooting down at you from the
right and left in the center and you
gonna be caught next day you're gonna be
in jail so you're gonna be trouble so
watch your head to life watch those
hands keep it to yourself just watch
what you say everything's recorded I can
be recording you you could be recording
me now and the next day goes out rabbi
dolphin said this and you who just said
that and Moses said this and and and
it's a free-for-all it's a whole
different world
they ain't not to bully they Aveda says
that every here is that not only don't
you do the actual violation but you
watch yourself from the spirit of the
violation you know I've run Twersky The
Stepfather of the rabbi the shul has a
famous line I always love repeating it
he writes at missiles one of his early
books he says that when he grew up his
father who was a Hasidic rabbi known as
the Honda stipple Reba the father taught
him and he said when he was doing
something that was you know not
appropriate he would say as possible it
that's he - it's possible it's not
befitting in English it's not befitting
you know what family you come from
you know what you are it's just not it
thought you know now I'm not gonna go in
now because this is you know pillows and
yes no some but the idea as positive as
pasta means the spirit this it's not
about you know have evaluated or have I
not violated again again bottom line as
far as the breath at the chart with the
brownie points check or X it's about
that you put on film but that you could
not and could not commit a sin that's
but the spirit of the law is weird
vehicles comes in so if you have a
question I'm Dominic and I'm learning
and I'm not doing that various and I
still don't have this Vegas you have to
look at a different area not look at
bottom line the bottom line is not going
to give you the Draco's that Vegas comes
from their spirit the the the what's
beyond the the the observable the deeper
aspect of your being
what's that the will the rustling we're
Who am I Who am I that that's what was
