Practical Chasidus w R' Chaim Dalfin - Maamar V'ata Titzave 1981 #3

the cool flowers bays or whatever the sheet page you have is the my mother's the after the father one second we're a middle of those hey okay okay well hey actually I say yes the values alchemy how you do uh that Evers explain it to us that the reason that the that the grounding the grinding of the olive for olive oil that the tourist says in the horse Porsche rustic the first verse of this week's parsha is to be brought to Moshe is because Moshe is the one who instills faith in a deep internalized way within within the Jew so to explain this further now Pia you do I it's known possession you throw my meaning belly pulls Bettman the truth to the fact that Jewish people have an intrinsic the belief in God with simple faith the enemy is out there and they do not need any proof to prove the existence of God and their belief in God whom its action a time them it's because of two reasons one we fish it must lie you huzi this is because their charm their look their muzzle sees the truth and reference 32 it's based on the tomorrow at the term must lie a fuzzy is based on the Gemara and Magilla where the dimeric talks about Catania Michelin Azaria the three prophets who prophesize and then they were thrown into the pit with lions in that whole story so it says there that they that they their faith in God was strong because although they themselves did not kind of see the godliness clearly but their muzzle that their their soul the Mozilla thin Schama saw this godliness and that impact of them that they that they were able to successive successfully accomplish their mission Donna Shaun Micheel of Milo that ed but now says it in considered terms that the neshamah that comes into the body that comes from above or a yellow pills it sees godliness if not just not only does it believe it actually sees godliness really myeloma saying oh this seeing is the transcends logic it's them it's the mind's eye in a way that goes beyond logic is FA Obama showmanship ago and this reality that the soul from on high seas godliness impacts the part of the soul that invests itself in the person's body and an impact to our Moon ability calls for that part of the soul that's in us to have belief in God so what's happening over here we have guys we have the Schirmer that's with Milo and we have on a summer that's LaMotta in other words within us we have of soul that's invested in us ie we call that LaMotta below the body on earth and it's imbued and controlled by the soul the the section of the soul that is in heaven in the section of our soul that's in heaven sends signals to our soul on earth and if you don't have any clutter in the way and garbage and nonsense it's a clear connection and here's the message from on high and it goes it goes with it what is the message from on high motion the message is seeing God not just believing but riah we've been speaking a lot about this idea of seeing godliness so Solan high doesn't have any interruptions right it doesn't have to deal with all the issues that we deal with on earth so as long as right as long as you don't put an obstacle in the way it can call the sole below and it will say listen you don't see God but I see God but I'm telling you I see God I see godliness and therefore you should have faith in God so the faith that we have the a moon that we have in God in a famine is derivative of what a derivative of our part of our in the summer that's in heaven that sees God that's what he says the OI build another explanation they say - homeowner who may XM how the shambhala Milan and Muslim closer the second explanation is a deeper explanation he says the source of our faith is from what we call XM Hana Shama the essential soul that's even greater than the muzzle of our soul the session seminar some negotiators bellicose the idea that the essential soul is bound to God miss his Castro's axles Atmos it's an essential bind Shana clear deceiver it doesn't depend on a cause and a reason come lady inghean her ears shall a Milan not say ho it doesn't it doesn't depend on any type of realization now I want to explain this when we talk about seeing something we've been speaking about the virtue of seeing versus hearing right but nevertheless let me ask you is seeing the the essence or seeing also an application it's also an application there is the eye that sees the I use my eyes to see so as soon as you say I use my eyes to see what you're saying inhale by definition is there's an eye who applies the eyes the physical eyes to see that means the eyes are not you they're they're an instrument for you just like the ears are an instrument for you the difference being that the clarity of seeing is so much more powerful than the clarity of hearing but nevertheless even the clarity of heat of seeing is not the eye so this is what he's saying over here the second no no no one sec I gotta finish the floor and then I'll take your questions give me a moment please years old and they're formed and therefore one what is 50 years old have to do what so the idea of seeing something the idea of seeing something by the way I'm sixty anyway anyway the idea the idea of seeing something the idea of seeing something means that it's not your essence it's an application of your essence I go back to what I've been saying the last few weeks about the kiss physics I really like that word I really like the implication of the word that was something is in your gut it becomes who you are it's it's greater than that even see it's who you are seeing is not who you are seeing is a very powerful tool that it that that's that's full of clarity but it's not who you are what he says here in the minor is you who the is the following that Emunah according to the second explanation is so deep before ooh that it's even greater than seeing it's who you are if you were to cut open a Jewish hand what would flow out not hearing and not seeing but faith reminds of the story that they said about the middle Arriba that people towards his passing when he passed there that if you would that the doctor said if he cut open his if you gave him a cut not blood would fall out because cinders would be coming out of his of his physical body because he was permeated Lucinda's that's how much he was became one with considers anyway so the same thing over here now Ari it's your turn go ahead mister fifty but I guess I'm like the in this is the seeing he's outside it's not inside that's right that's right but the idea you come in a generation when there wasn't necessarily TV in every room and I remember listening to a radio as opposed to hearing seeing something on TV and the experience could be even greater in your mind the imagination and use when you hear rather than see it gives you an opportunity to actually think much more rather than just seeing what's there well late doesn't relate to it maybe but it's very intuitive well well yeah you have to dissect your words and and and the idea there is a virtue in hearing versus see we haven't really discussed that much so that's what you're referring to but never nevertheless like you said the differences in understanding and understanding but understanding is not clarity if if you understand that it's now dark outside if you can prove now that it's dark and you walk outside you see light what are you gonna say you're gonna say and although I understand that I can bring you proof it's back outside my I see light so those the clarity comes from the ear from seeing the understand is associated with hearing but here Ari were saying that whether it's hearing or whether it's seeing and muna if is even deeper it's who you are because at the end of the day both hearings and seeing our applications it's applications it's not the guts it's not the guts it's not who you are at the end of the day a person what motivates them a clear thinking and and a normal person who's looking for truth and and and whatever issue they're dealing with whether it be business or religion or education or whatever the issue is if you're looking for truth you want to look inside yourself you use tools to understand and to to see but at the end that's not going to that shouldn't be the motivating factor what should be is that it touches your essence you understand now the problem is that many times we believe that our essence is a certain way and we're totally fooling ourselves it's like everyone many people you know they say I'm a princess I'm a cannoli I'm a sell it I'm gonna go out and kill Arabs you know and just kill them with knives and because I'm a Pincus well you'll end up in jail and then worse you know so who appointed you a penis I had this issue here in the last few weeks and in in in Brooklyn I don't want to get into details but someone is you know stomping around that he's a a Pincus and he wants to you know get do something and and and I told him in a nice way I said you know I'm sorry you know you have it up on him now you have got Boheme and you both to them that's their job imagining you're so much someone will come in and say no the chairs are not the right way the rapper should give a speech then he should do this why cuz I spent the shoes all over the world with bigger rabbis and bigger Souls and bigger people and the way you guys do it is okay we'll leave it at that so you tell her my dear friend you're not the guy by here you're not the rabbi here I hear your idea I'll discuss it and then and then we'll we'll see what to do so there are people who claim that their essence is being moved to act and it's not their place so there's misjudgment so when we talk about Emunah we're talking about a healthier muna not someone who gets up and leads people astray and we've had that you know from the false messiahs to all kinds of leaders who at the end of the day most of them were proven to be wrong in charlatans right with Barca siva in the gomorrah with Rabbi Akiva could you imagine Rabbi Akiva fell for this false messiah that the Gemara schools from barkos eva Bhargava right and why why is he called barkos eva because he was murdered and if he would have been a Sadiq I said that's what the mother says wouldn't let him be murdered right so so nevertheless the Ramban brings this because Rabi Akiva had a right to to identify someone as the presumptive Messiah frescas Messiah it's not a violation of Halawa according to the rambha and that armaments the the Cairo fire of the laws of Messiah so the Rambam says that a Crabby Akiva had a right and identifying Park offer as mr. Messiah was he wrong at the end yeah he was wrong because he was he wasn't the Messiah what am I saying what I'm saying is that the the line between you know my faith drives me to identify and do something that's right versus wrong is a very very thin line and a very very sensitive issue that that we have to be careful about nevertheless what we're learning in the mind went back to the magma is the importance of am Munna according to Hillel according to the second interpretation here in this paragraph it's deeper that must lie or khazi okay so so so we have of this show them we have Messiah the Mosel my Mazel Mazel Tov Mazel Tov is a great thing but there's something beyond Mazel Tov mouth of his congratulations what that's him - that's him talk exactly and he and by the way right exactly the accent let's go further the enslavement that my faith will keep submission a beauty menu on the move the differently the two interpretations that we mentioned earlier they have moved by the some molesters of the goof I bought maybe else have this rubbish Allah my Allah the faith that comes to us why from this from being impacted by the soul from heaven he didn't smoke if it's superficial keeping serving some inshallah violated my limits ruptures the soul above is up is beyond investing itself in the body the same pool those are there for its impact by the sub members in the book on the bat on the soul that's in the body heal previous Marcus it's it's a it's superficial but it's like a father writing to a son how to behave and he's far away go down go visit him meet him face to face take him out for coffee take him out for bowling put your hand around them and have a chat then you're you're more or less communicating in a preemies dick away I'm gonna write you a letter send you an email send you money but you're there and he's there that's called muck if that's powerful that as the sum is I'm high so that if someone is in love with God great I love you too so above but guess what you're not in me so the most you can do for me is impact me in a superficial way it's like okay I'll check it out dad thanks very much for the advice I'll check it out that's the first result from this emunah above over - I'm Oona by the summer must love in order for the Emunah that's within us t Epiphanius that it should be in an inner way internalized who are they give away as Castro's optimistic side - sure mom it's revealing motion the essential bond that your soul has with God he acts a - Rama who lets in selling some ammo better be good powerful world's words the essence of the neshamah XM which Hillary said before the XM really that's the XM of the soul that's in the body although I want in the so remove from it at the very same time it is it's apparent it is what it's made of Lehane though i'm other than the show mama the best is negotiable certificates from ipanema so that's why it's inside so what we're learning here already this touches a little bit of a problem you said is that you could say just like there's a virtual like you said to hearing versus seeing so - there's a virtue to the so being in the body all those only part of the summer right because most of the sharma is islam ila but that part that's here is here you know what the lesson one of the lessons is when you're here be here 100% i know that most of you can't be here because you have other responsibilities but what I'm asking of you is that the time you're here I want it to be a hundred percent you come home for a half an hour for dinner to put the kids to sleep to help them at home work during that time take your phone and bury it bury it so you shouldn't see it you shouldn't hear it you gotta be fully focused I just had to have the dinner table last night with my my youngest child the phone rings she'd go and said we don't pick up the phone now well this is 10-15 minutes that we sit together and you don't you don't strip the time when you have to be 100% there the virtue of the neshamah that's in the goof yeah the body is very tempting and the body has its indulges and its cravings and its challenges and all but there is a time that it's it's pure it's clean make that time the essence and that's what we call the cleanest so the virtue here it is the virtue of the neshamah within the body versus the de summer with outside of the body is the virtue of previous over Marcos so who would you rather have would you rather have a spouse would you rather have a child a friend a rabbi who's with you part of the time but totally there with you or someone who is so much greater and all that and there was an end and there around more often and you could talk to them more of them whatever it is they're not fully there that's the difference between Marcus and previous and guess what depending on who we are and what we are who we are at any given time that's what we choose so there are people who like to be let's say in a certain shoe because they like the camaraderie they like the noise they like the frame of kite they like the politics they like whatever they like the rabbi's talk in other words they're motivated because the outside stimuli makes them tick that's what we call mawkish it's superficial but it does work on some level and that's why you have plenty of rules what do they call them they have an abbreviation they cut for the kiddush you know they come just for the kiddush they don't come to learn before diverting they don't come forth a building they come for the drinks and then the herring and the kids can the choke and then a little bit smoothly and they're back to their houses and you know see them the rest of Shabbos that's one experience there's another experience a person might not come for as long but when he's there he's totally focused why he's there he's there because he wants to connect with others Borough Hall Shabbos clay dish and when he's there he's and he can't talk to him and you can't bother him he sees else where it touches him opinions and believe me if he gets into a plea mr. care mode he'll want to be there more he'll want to be there more and they'll be there for the right reasons are both valuable yes to gold and and and discount a group of people who come just for the kiddush believe me it's better than being there than at the horse races and it's better to be there than at the beach in Tel Aviv okay my daughter has quite a few people I've been there who come to shul and we have a beautiful the elaborate kiddush and then we dive in a quick Mensa and two o'clock everyone's over we go home and they go to the Tel Aviv Beach and they're not breaking shoppers technically because they're not you know you can carry there's an errand and what do they do is sitting at the beach okay so maybe I say you know Tarrou this and then what you see and it's Shaba is you know but I'm saying the fact is that they came to shul and they heard a Megan the heritage of our trader and so slowly but surely the neshamah gets electrified and gets vilified and at some time they get up zap because they SAP themselves or someone zaps them and they say what am i doing in my life I'm just wasting away and they become more holy and more spiritual more connected even in the outward observance of their behavior so let's continue Peter yes with caution sharing your share of mine but we can connect the ideas in the mind sorry intercourse Islam or the idea of what of crushing the olives so that it so that it impacts the source of light per the hampshire LeBaron in the right manner it comes in a continuation to explain the idea of the faithful shepherd possession moistures anima fairness as a moon Brad still here he left are you with me are you following that up if you don't understand something asked now you can ask okay okay okay okay I'm gonna let you get him to the pee-mis exam isolation zone my father saw someone know the fact that moisture sustains and feeds a Jews faith and dies today as much I bet is your site so it's so appropriate that we're learning about this on this day Zion other Shakir Bellini is Moshe accomplishes that what that it should be in internalized who iodine Schumann gala sets them on the show Michelle of Milan mother is because Moshe Rubino has a tremendous tremendous job he reveals within every Jew the essence marshal Milan or Mossad sesmar the illumine area the source of light which is greater than the light it's not enough to light the light of the soul you have to like most of the source of the light you know why because when you light the light of a soul that lasts for a certain amount of time and then extinguishes it's over but if you like the light of the soul it's a constant flame kind of fire just like a flame right you have the the boiler you have the the but it's a cult well this is the source the source you can't see it you can't see it what department thank you thank you that's what the pilot the pilot light the pilot light would be the more what's on top of the oven on the stove the oven that's the arm so that you could turn on and off but the pilot light if you know and you don't want to gas leak and you want to have health and all that it's on the whole time so mission of a new is the one who keeps the pilot right going by a Jew watch of course of course is my mother why does it have to be cusses crushed I'm invited by my they like Illinois to Idaho in you that cost the same his mother goes it's through the feeling of courses during all those who cannot guild isn't from a mother who bean I misled fish she took as monocles how do you experience this classes I'm sorry how do you experience you who the the source of light the more it's through feeling crushed during those the fact that every day I'm a goalless like I told the most admires he sent me a note from me wrong last night he's in me Ron so I answered him it's wonderful to validate but at the same time please ask for shipment to jump out of his grave he's been there any 2000 years is that not enough time to be in a grave I think it's but it's over do you know the libraries they wouldn't have enough space to fill out the amount of penalties for being the book being overdue 2000 years now yet when you think about this that's what I felt last Lochbaum Mary do you know if I were to go to life the first time my life I was like Bowman Miran was last year when I was 9 she throw right I must tell you I wasn't overwhelmed in a fact and a way I was sad I mean 2,000 years a bit Sabich the the the motion of a know of of Israel is is laying in a grave 2,000 years it's a again you know like you know my feelings who cares you know God knows but net what I'm saying is the cost is feeling what we're learning about minor gets you to move it gets you to do something it shakes you up and if it doesn't set you up that means you're not cousins you're comfortable and if you're comfortable golas not coming go all's not coming from God I shouldn't could do anything I will do anything but um but what we know in the realm of our experience if you're uncomfortable you're gonna do something about it if you really bother you're not making enough money you are going to get a job are you gonna make money you're gonna do something cuz you need to feed your tender love okay if you're unhappy with your job that you and you want to work you're gonna make a move I mean this way that way and the same is true in marriage and everything else those systems that are called this Burke who gives us you know that's between that's a Shen's why do someone not have children and things like that though we don't have answers to those things why was that Holocaust is thinking about it I'm still researching my my family and getting everyday papers and people sending me in and I read it and it's it's so sad it's terrible what what and you think about why did you could do with this guy you know here are all these fine people and you let you let them be murdered and slaughtered and killed in this disgusting way by these evil doers who else who knows who knows it baffles the mind so those questions those issues we can't we can't we can't understand but the result of those issues have to move you and have to move you in a way that you do something so for some one person sir for a good life though and who's in Poland or in Germany researching if he researchers and he provides documents and provides information and and one of us want to look at back at our ancestors and we have those documents because of him he has done something to turn to advanced machines coming and for a year and for eat it it's the the motivation that what can I do to to elevate my ancestors in the summers who went down like like like ducks you know so everyone has to be in a position of closest and that's what he says most over here that the the ignorant look at the word ECAR is in italics it can give your accent of the summer the primary way of revealing the essence of the neshamah who be in a mysterious nefesh it's because it's when your activity comes with self-sacrifice she it Carabas mana goes primarily at the time of goals he talked about the boys and the girls on the front of the army right let's be serious nephesh don't take you know as much as you say oh this i'm patriotic and I'm fighting for my country and I'm Sarah to throw and at the end of the day you are on the firing line you are this is not a joke so it's not just mysterious nefesh on the parents part and the grandparents and the friends which it is of course but the boy and girl themselves in a stupid they know exactly what's going on they know that that they that they're protecting the Amish royal that's we see the snow finish so that that's a there it goes because they're still fighting and Arabs and and all the issues that's cause that's a big olace and what are they doing with the goal is that they're transforming the ghost by protecting the Amish role right so constantly a lead has to have the notion of maecenas nefesh and this is an important message to share with the children and grandchildren that whatever you do you have to feel not satisfied and do more in other words if don't go into a comfort zone as soon as you go into a comfort zone it's these day it's Thursday that's where you become lazy not productive bored depression alcohol on and on and on it comes from my father who always said when we were growing up we told them we're bored I'm bored he said in Yiddish names if the code names just the cup and crop in front take your head and bang it on the wall that's what I was raised with okay and he didn't say once he said it many times because we complained my board I mean you're born he said I'm bored I'm not born when I'm tired I sleep I get up I learned I die when I go to work and I go on we I'm bored you're bored you know the the the the whole notion the whole notion this is this is really like I told you you know from my mind of my grandson who said I go to Google to find out fact and in the homework right I mean it's not a joke it's it's really very sad yo needs it it's it's really sad it's my own grandson I'm saying it's like what is going down to the yes motion the SS sequester fourth example two minutes ago the beach is like lights up our nashola it causes us to you know like you know when you're on the front lines in here against the wall and one of the things are they see this amongst people only just particularly see at the end of the day some of the other the shawarma has little deuce anything come out the flying some sort of people some sort of enjoyment some sort of satisfaction we're talking about we're talking about you know getting that satisfaction through doing so misters Memphis the satisfying the Jewish Jewish way question I have an estimate so dependable they see the fall the front evidence the so many swimming degrees people that are trying to they're trying to satisfy the show but we see the sense for the training centers from the Charlotte please that just they're not Jewish please and you see this in the community more and more you just sit on the phone with I guess my question is maybe maybe when I'm just asked what would you say to a young person what would you say to an adult it's very clear that they're going through the motions they're going through the motions through the school and every day and that the Sherman is just not being you know right be lives lived only right and III hear the question and I understand that it's a good question and the answer the short answer the brief answer is that you have to tell the person and yourself every person what am i doing that's not for myself or for someone else if you do for another and I don't mean just another it could mean a wife and it could be a child it could be a friend but it could also be a stranger and and and and and so you say you tell the young man you you know you're not interested in learning you Siva you're not interested you know I'm putting on trilling okay listen how about there are people that you know need help and here there and you you know you have to find and suggest and and this is it just takes a little concentration and those parents that do this have better results in guiding their their child their son and daughter and in in finding an area where they will feel good about themselves so what I'm saying to you much is you're right that we all want to feel good it's like an intrinsic it is an intrinsic feeling of the neshamah and then you identified in your question but we want to we want that feeling of goodness and and satisfaction to be with healthy things not things that are unhealthy and that takes the parent the teacher the guide to identify how can you use your talents that Sam gave you in a way that will make another person happy because when you make another person happy you feel so good I'm telling you you you and me I'm telling you we all know that that's the biggest set the biggest satisfaction is when we bring another person to happiness or to knowledge or to to to a better place in their life yes hello I wanted to say about bringing together some of the themes of this glorious limo once told the story of on the beach of Tel Aviv reading an old old world street cleaner who was brought up in PS extra yeah he asked if it was teaching from from the American dish the PSS the red banks and summer years to say ladies say the greatest thing in the world is to do somebody else a favor that that was the lesson the piece that's the key to love your fellow Jew as the same as you is their burger mother later that song you know he may be far from me across the widest he will I never forget it whatever you know it's it it's it is but but but I'm saying it's nice of the song but when you you could you could actually make a big difference in in people's life in your own life if you I I adapt this but you know again there that do we want to have a lazy lazy I feel like well let him do it let someone else do it really you know I learned through my father more blessed memory was a Russian Jew from Harkavy hood say don't say the story they always tell over that that left that impression on me was one circus Arab circus in Marin County 1985-86 and we had a million in the morning and one of my bail about them says I didn't build my suka yet and a circus tonight I have to go home but you know we have to finish diving in there right away we finished Avenue I have my car I turn around I want to take my father in the home to our house to the yeah after thousand Inc he's not there two three hours ago by he comes home where were you I was helping that Jew who said he didn't have a shook up yet to put up a super now he has a Sukkah home unannounced doesn't tell me anything you know just you arrogant if the super what what I'm saying I and I learned from him and I learned today I'm still learning that but it's the hardest thing is to do for really you know when you have to sweat you know when you have to me he was a you know he was already a 60 year old man whatever you know I'm saying a 65 year old man it wasn't it was a you know my best friend six-year-old yes we'll see yes instead the other wonderful moyshe what you were saying response there is a remedy he worked with an outreach organization and and you could see that there's a whole population of Jews don't wanna connect and do something that Michelle would wanted to be linked but they were getting in the Christian Way like you say so wouldn't he be developing Oh like secular level of tikkun olam idea right so he developed this thing where they take trips to pile em into this place enough to help people or you know you know whatever they want me to do in the Jewish community whatever we turned off so he takes them Thailand and India whatever and he teaches employer in the process and has Shabbat and obviously but it gets them so we have to be creative and how we right yeah but motion agree she ate that notion motion was identifying also you know I think people in in your community young people and then the free community that that he's identifying a seeing that they're like there there's trying to satisfy themselves middle aged people and that the Trillin isn't doing it for them they're still putting I'm trillion they're still doing mitzvahs they're still coming to shul but then they get into some foolish things because they're they're hungry for something and and and yet they don't want to take the next step to to you know and and and this is where you know we all we all can contribute and need to contribute not can need to make a difference where you you you go over to a friend or person and you go for a walk and you have a talk and then you something and I'm saying it's a it's an advisor so he's right in in in identifying this says what we call which we discussed when I was there you know the stale being coming stale hey you know I I put on film for twenty thirty years what do you have to be a shining you know or it's like you know the shul you only used to say about a Brooklyn whatever comes and chats and talks you know and then these things exist on LA I remember there was one show I would we would go and make speak to give over different era and different rules and one sure I don't want to say who she was it was a very wealthy Hancock Park is a very wealthy area in Los Angeles and the Hungarian you know had all the money in the world and he made a true and literally I came there to say Cara and they were talking through our chakras I I ended up saying that they recover but I felt disgust and I shut your mouth but there's a rapper here will like be quiet now I will say that going into the Monroes rule which I told you about it curious yellow about five years ago where there was a shoe a guy open the shoe spent his money on the show and in a basement for many of the kids that were going go from the people with kids and and old elders people coming with beards not believing in God and they were playing chess and playing back I'm in guy takes out the newspaper and there's a guy said I'm chakras I came into the same I never saw my life he played backgammon reading newspapers or you're not domine no there's that being a backgammon one guys eating and and I had I asked it he said listen these these people they wouldn't be in any other shul you know they come here it's a safe place this is the way it begins and and and you know and we're
