now chapter you'd in the my mother after
the Sava which originally was said in
1981 and then it was released in 1992 so
we're a chapter ten and in the previous
chapter the Rebbe explained at great
length how one is fusses one feels
brokenhearted that she is not here and
therefore it's not just for those that
are you know the average and ordinary
Jewish person but even said he came and
holy people who are fully involved in
Judaism and a theta study nevertheless
the fact that the Messiah is not here
shatters them this is what we learned in
Chapter in in the previous chapter
paragraph now let's continue the chapter
ten paragraph ten yes Lamar we might say
Shapiro Sam or daughter summer this
experience of the so called the more the
Illuminati how miss Galli saw you they
hurting in the causes that's revealed
through the feeling of broken
heartedness musician enjoy be colors
from the fact that we find ourselves in
exile he nyla Jason is greater me
Petersham or Adama summer than the level
of the luminary of the soul sham is
galleys that's revealed Arya day missus
nefesh that's revealed through
self-sacrifice we have been throughout
the weimar we've been pushing and
explaining the point that self-sacrifice
that that the Jews had during the time
of pouring that's called Misurata nefesh
you see thus that for self-sacrifice is
the barometer
that shows that you really are touched
you really care now the rebus says
that's true however based on what we
learned just before there's something
even deeper that touches a person deeper
and that is the feeling of being
shattered cusses and let's see how he
explains it meaning you'll see the
second meaning that even if you're not
having self-sacrifice but you come to a
place of being cusses that touches you
greater let's see how he explains this
varying in though the ideas and my time
in miles at chef Mountain tell you to
hurt yourself
raucous hallo why amongst the reasons
why dude the sages say that when the
tailor was given by Moses by Moshe
there was only after giving it a
velocity it's only a beginning over they
are frustrated Rachel Kabbalah and three
days of a hospitalist we say that was
the true Kabbalah we received the key
below you who didn't who it is is there
shimon nozzle an instrument martin later
the fact that they prefaced now sevenish
MA that we will do the Jewish people
Brad they said we will accept upon
ourselves everything you say God in the
Torah and then we will explore the
reasoning behind it this is because we
play Chikara la marca gigas it says in
the Midrash it's because God placed a a
mountain high on top of the the people's
heads the Jewish people's heads it's
like you better accept the Torah or else
that's what it says it matters I mean
there's many ways of understanding that
matrix but that's a basic image which
means give we millimolar Hillel the
waifus in us understands the coffer lame
harken
means God imposed godliness on the Jews
the inspiration didn't come because from
their perspective they denied the
excitement but rather it came from
outside of them to them over mayor has
Vader is but during the days of poor has
changed
hey Sokka believe it's about smog the
Jews accepted the Torah during the time
of Purim not feeling as though they're
forced into it but rather they
themselves wanted to do it so that's a
major difference between the receiving
of the Torah when the Torah was given by
Moses on Mount Sinai a har Sinai and the
way the tailor was given when we wanted
the Torah we asked for the turret during
the time of pouring the eslate muscle we
could say sure one of the you said oh
it's a shot a shot Marshall of Milo
royally cous you remember earlier in the
mind Mahela we discussed two ideas the
faith faith that comes because one sees
God and faith that comes because one is
one is God kind of you know one the
Sherman is godliness that's the
difference between ruia seeing and XM
essence so there ever goes back to that
here and it connects it to the concept
that he's speaking about over here and
he says the faith and drew the faith did
that you didn't have that's only be that
considers see God ro le cose and he says
in the parenthesis recall that Emunah
amit sadh Seba it's a faith that's
that's caused by a reasoning you follow
there's a reason why I have the faith
who out then if this will be similar
she demon our son is my the mountain
theta it's been similar to the idea of
the Jews preferencing we will do and
then we will understand during the given
the Torah mix a tequila
Nayla because they were it was imposed
upon them in other words we speak about
bread this parade the great thing that
Jews did when they got the Torah they
said we're gonna do what you wanna share
even though we don't understand yet
everything
the Rebbe says that's wonderful but
there's only one the issue here they did
that because God imposed himself on them
so they were overwhelmed then when they
were kind of forced into listening they
felt overwhelmed it felt imposed upon
right so this would be this was this is
similar to having a faith experience
caused by something not that the faith
is who you are your very essence the
faith that that you are your very
essence is a very different experience
physio should we have has Raiders made a
couple of it so that's me and this is
the virtue that we speak about when we
say that during the days of our Vader's
when Shaka bowl of the the Jewish
people's acceptance of the Taylor was
Mossad a sermon from their own
perspective what's the advantage who he
owes this gallery scoffs was really
possible so that's a mother sermon then
was revealed the connection to godliness
from the essence of their soul he's
conscious
Archbishop it's our estimate CEA's miss
Yusa the the binding the connection that
comes from the very existence of who
they are
throughout the Ascension yes lay man
that ever says more in detail we might
say shegaon biggie we had some of the
Sharma that even was in the essence of
the soul there are two aspects yes MA
yes them Duke much never now you could
say there aren't the truth aspects that
we mentioned earlier the giggly answer
by the Sharma being Yin I'm a citizen
efficient one would be the essence of
the soul from the perspective of Macedo
snappish yes Lima we might say
Gayla professor given coming over on
Isis from one perspective you could say
that the when you have the essence
experiencing itself it's great but the
the way the the revealed powers receive
the essence it's like an imposition on
it it gives a good example look at this
example well Commissioner I am before
you become an ocean we see with many
people listen to the show this is very
important
shibi yes of the multi ensure you save
us on fatal mitzvahs when they were in
countries where there was a decree
against three tournaments Asst he's
speaking namely about Russia Iran you
know you know places like that
more recently Russia Loyola Hermosillo
status report says that ever we see the
decent people they have self-sacrifice
in actuality it wasn't theoretical was
practical a real and they have to see
this nefesh measures come of a
commercial name for many years these
Jews fought Stalin put on fill-in taught
children to stay there went to the
underground ran away okay Bo I've got
flippant English every lousy potato
because they recover and later when they
came to countries like American
heiresses Royal where you could serve
our chairman doTERRA Matata
cover from a broad perspective no one is
killing you and I was threatening you go
to show forget motive-based Madras do
mitzvahs
you can walk around freely a nickel for
him
nevertheless it's not recognizable in
these same people
Kolkata see the staff is that great so
so it's not recognizable so much there's
so sacrificer hey let me claim that they
had previously why
now that's the question here why if you
were willing grant to give your life in
Russia because they said you're a Jew
but if not we're going to kill you and
all that and you said I don't can't kill
me I'm not scared I'm going to continue
and you were willing to have that
self-sacrifice
nevertheless when it came to came they
came to the free country they chilled
out they didn't show the same the same
self-sacrifice why is that
so the Rebbe explains what is their
charm demuccio snappish magic above a
common surname
the fact that they withstood the the
oppression and they have self-sacrifice
for many years will the future here
behind ghibli at Savannah's jean-michele
a mile up because there's a good Louie
it's because it was superimposed upon
them for like nowadays that Sheena
because of every Muslim guess what their
their sacral and their medals from their
perspective didn't change here this
little is a wild wild thought I mean a
person is ready to get himself shot and
justice pretty this guy I'm ready I do
whatever it is and what do you say it's
wonderful but it's not who you are it's
it's it's only what you're being imposed
upon this is what he says well it's it's
a paucity like it's saying it's
impossible to know what really comes
from inside of who you really are
because of the external circumstances
that's right right no but but Hillary
what he's saying is in the external
circumstances shows that's not you if
it's if the external if it would be you
then why would you chill out when you
came to a free country
so that's that shows that it that you
are able to know so what do you mean why
do you say you're not able to know hello
you're are you asking a little question
I'm asking you I if I did I understand
you
record that you said it's impossible to
know yeah you can't well I I hear what I
said is you can't really know because
the external circumstances have have
constrained your choices so so and
you've you've made one kind of one kind
of choice I'm going to stand up for you
- good right so that's already be boring
those are already the people who haven't
sort of said well I'm going to give it
all up and and comply with the
authorities yes right
yeah but but but then that soul doesn't
really know it doesn't have the
opportunity to really know itself until
the cads an opportunity to be in a
situation where there there there it's
not threatened there's no mysterious
nefesh to see well yeah then are you
really gonna you're gonna serve us yeah
I'm continuing to be when you live in a
free society when that pressures off
okay okay so at that time that's the
proof is in the pudding at that time at
that time it it then you really see if
it's what you did is because of yourself
or because of an outside force imposing
it on you and in in a Hell in a great
way but it's not you that that's the
point is made yeah let's continue
skip skip T okay let's read it
disaster accent by the sharma who acts
every Christmas at the Loom who shouts
I'm on the shovel add some sugar ham
these are shiet when young victim I feel
hurt let's see if she'll ahem it's a
very profound thought it up just make it
brief there is he will the XM the
essence and there is the format
see or so he says the question is
whether your nitty gritty type of mind
and your nitty gritty type of heart is
it turned on to God or no in itself is
distant it's only outside forces that
that make a situation happen so that's
what he calls that seal the theater
basically means who you are notice every
one of us is born a certain way every
one of us has raised a certain way every
one of us is who we are at the end of
the day and the question is it's what
we're doing because if this is this has
been this is who we are whether it's
biological or adopted and and now this
is who we became because of second
nature or know who you are someone else
of what you're doing is only because of
an outside stimuli
Brad Brad did you understand what I just
said I can't hear you he said say it
again please the question that we're
analyzing here is is what a is what a
person is doing now whatever a person is
doing is it's because this is who he
really is
this is this is the person or is it no
the person is someone else and and why
am i doing it because of reasons other
reasons whether it be you know practical
reasons community reasons family reasons
okay so let's take an example I put till
9:00 in the morning do I put Phil mom
because just like I know that if I don't
eat for a few days I'm finished or I'll
be very sick I'll be tired know that and
if I don't sleep so it's my sleep and my
eating is Who I am so - I put it on
tooling is Who I am I can't survive a
day without putting until or no I could
survive without putting on till today
just I understand the importance of
tilling and I want to make my parents
happy
rabbi happy I want my kids to see
whatever
I'm scared that I believe that if I put
to them that I'll be protected these are
all reasons but it doesn't mean that's
it's not you it's it's it's outside of
you am i clear what am i clear what I'm
saying Brad so so the miner here what
we're learning is that when we see
people who were willing to give their
life literally in Russia under Stalin's
regime and that they said we're going to
continue being Jewish and live in Jewish
and teaching Jewish and the very same
people came to America and came to
England and came to Australian came
there to stroll we're no longer there is
oppression and you're free to practice
your religion and all of a sudden the
same people take it easy
they're not as excited what happened to
them
so the rebus right if you were willing
to give you sacrifice your life under
Stalin's regime what happened that you
dropped out when you came to to a free
country and if you didn't drop out
completely but your your passion is not
there why says the river here does this
course the reason is because it was
never who you were even when you were
oppressed the only reason you did it
then is because you were a patriot a
patriot a patriarch giving you what you
were you're doing the free country
you've been doing the first shot you're
doing the free Torah doing the fear
parents she's doing free religion that's
a reason you're not doing it because
this is who you are
survival of the fittest
hello you follow the point I'm with you
this is a very very it's it's you know
this is like this is really going deep
inside us and asking ourselves to
reexamine
and to and to understand it's not
this is not being set to make us feel
bad and by the way it's not made to say
oh so if I don't have the same feeling
in a free country
therefore I should not put on Trillin no
god forbid he says put on trill put on -
you have to continue doing your things
however however just remember you need
to grow the boarding rep re and your
friend from North Carolina who's that
doc dr. Bradley hammers here with us dr.
Bradley hammer so Malaysia are you
unknown unknown resident - just visiting
but but they may not be letting him out
anytime okay anyway what we're
discussing fellas is a very important
issue and it's a it's an issue that's
gonna you know it's like you're coming
into like a heavy issue the heavy issue
areas whether a person's a person's you
describe the person's commitment to
Torah is it who they are or is it
because of their circumstances you know
like for example living in their to
throw you know I've come to the
conclusion and and and probably some of
you've come to the conclusion - but to
really deliver they're just roll you
have to be willing to give up everything
at the end of the day it's not it's not
an easy place to live in the Gemara says
it's a demurrer I'm not two thousand
years ago the rabbi's already said it
Aaron Cicero is only acquired through
Eucerin you don't you sir am i yeah we
didn't torture torture pain don't kid
yourself
you're not getting your elaborate house
in North Carolina and you're not getting
your nice house in Toronto and you're
not getting your two three cars and
you're not getting it yes
you have eaten all over it's beautiful
but the the energy throw you have to
appreciate and really want to live there
and we see those people that came
because of outside reasons it lasts for
a while and many times it it ends they
go back or even if they're there they
feel very disappointed the rep like I
told you the rebel told several people
rabbis who retired and they said Oh Reb
that we wanted we want to go that is
what we want to make a difference we've
worked so many years in America now
we're gonna go to your shall I am there
ever said why are you going a be going
through shall I am who needs you to
survive this for it forever every person
there's ten rabbis you know if you tell
them you're going to Tel Aviv we're
going to keep bullets you're going to be
better bear Sheva you're going out to
the boondocks and there you're gonna
teach tolerant there gonna be a light on
to the nations they don't make a
difference okay
even then we have to ask the question
where you're more needed a person must
go where they're needed if they don't go
where they're needed they're gonna feel
wasted and empty so why am I saying this
what I'm saying is that the minor here
that were learning the Rebbe is
exploring this exact the kuda this exact
point and he asked sorry a beautiful a
beautiful question that asks he makes a
point he says we see people had
self-sacrifice in Russia under Stalin
they were willing to jump into the fire
and then you find that these very same
people that came to America that came to
Toronto the contentious role
guess what they're chilling out they're
going to the beach they're going golfing
they're becoming sophisticated they get
up late to come to shul on and on and on
what's going on over here
if they were passionate about God and
they were so passionate that they were
willing to let themselves be slaughtered
earth and shot how is it that all the
sudden with a comfortable free country
they take it easy and the rebus says you
know why that proves that even when they
were under the oppression in Russia they
weren't doing it because they wanted to
do it but because it was imposed upon
them and this is a very very deep point
to think about as we serve Hashem is our
service coming from within us or is it
because I want to keep my family
together or I want to keep my kids to
see yes hello I make the point that you
know when we tell her we tell each other
stories about like spiritual heroism we
often tell stories about the people back
there who are in a situation where they
didn't have the cultural freedom to to
practice you this guide and they are
nonetheless kept it up under oppressive
circumstances lecoeur oh we should be
saying based on based on what we're
learning you know the true heroes their
people are able to were able to turn
their back on in a free society on the
on the the freedom and on the and on the
affluenza and being able to say like we
said earlier in the Weimar I don't want
this I don't want the house I what I
want you is you guys right and you're
100% right you are that's exactly what
we're saying now you know it doesn't
mean we should you know discontinue
talking about the heroism of the past
but that's the past the question is what
are you now who are you now and you know
it's those people and and it's those
parts of ourselves that houki who keep
the same rigorous commitment wherever
they are regardless that's you again I
gave you that example before to me I
just thinks the simple example if you
don't need you don't sleep you're not a
mensch you feel tired you feel you're
you're right you're a mess why cuz
that's that's who you are because you
need to eat need to sleep well the same
is true with Judaism at raymond's to do
with Torah in other words I get up in
the morning and I come to shul then I
come to Kahlo and I go and help someone
a patient that I and I do have said and
I give sadaqa not because someone tells
me to do it because I want to do it
because this is who I am that's what was
striving for yes just a little anecdote
related to that but as hers become
religious and move to the religious
community of Baltimore
my mother who grew up in a custody comin
kind of left it she said to me you know
I don't need to do everything that
you're doing in order to feel Jewish and
I said to her and that and that's the
actual point I do because I could have
been you know I could have easily have
been a Buddhist as easily have been
involved in something else all of those
paths and options were were were they're
available in my social milieu amongst my
contemporaries now but if I want there
to be a continuity of Judaism if I want
there to be a hemp chef in it that's I
have to be doing something I have to be
engaged I have to turn away from the
from the the path of the secular of
secular openness and materialism right
Esther Clara let's continue and let's
continue inside give Lee the exam he
loved show Ari where were holding
Virgilia and and what's your what's your
friend's name first name right Brad Oh
Benny I mean like me I'm already been
yeoman and we got Vinny oh man no hammer
okay
be yummy give Lee the accent on this
Rama possession is beneath care the
revelation of the soul's essence because
we are shattered and brokenhearted for
the fact that we are in exile
hoosh accomplice
Gulam shall I paint c'mon taught them a
lesson it's that all those parts of you
your mind and your heart that your
external parts are all tuned in we have
to get our mind and heart tuned in in
other words what you become and you're a
physician when you're there were a
patient somehow you're working on the
patient helping the patient that
expresses somehow to you your essence
that's the experience you're looking for
not just because you studied at a
medical journal you were taught by your
professors and you know you're doing
good that's all nice things and
important things because if you don't
have that yeah you better not be you
can't cure someone else right so you
have to have the knowledge no question
about it but at the end of the day do
you believe have you come to a point
where you know that what you're doing is
is God's will because it's your will
it's become who you are you understand
that that that is and that is a lifelong
service this is not like something
you're buying a candy store and and and
you can have it every day it this goes
back and forth what we're saying is
ultimately a person wants to secure who
their commitment of others burcu and
whatever they do in a way that is who
they are and that's why and that's why
when when we are in a free society and
we're lacking that it really bothers us
so like Hillel said the real heroism is
Here I am in there to throw here I am in
America Here I am right do do I feel
that do I feel like am i hungry am i
hungry for for terror I'm a hundred
meters of my hunger to help another yeet
to help another person am i hungry and I
can't sit still like that like I've Rama
the third day of circumcision he was in
such pain but he went outside to feed
someone you know why because it was a
great
pain from not being able to do a
philosopher from feeding someone for yes
lay my and we could say does essence
among the Roma Vincere by cliff is
saying Honorable if you should God man
some on the shuttle who McDonough's
began there I get this role of my mercy
delicious I'll explain in a moment a
woman saw that some of the Strumica
mercy but Russia box was happy this up
my dearest edge wouldn't deliver whoever
says the following there is the
experience of the essence versus its
extension in other words Who I am
versus what I do and I read what he says
here is ultimately the ultimate
experiences when what you do and who you
are are one of the same so so in other
words and what you do I
you could you could say oh that's re
Pfeffer it's a it's the expression of
its expression of your essence yes
exactly exactly and in that expression I
see the person I'm able to identify the
person from his expression right let's
continue
probably Brad would probably say that
the way I dance
okay well I'm poor him I'm poor and make
a youtube of you how you dance and and
if it's an infant's in a kosher way send
it out and will and have others outside
of you give feedback if they could tell
that it's re fever and although somehow
dress up don't let anyone see it's you
and will see this person dancing and if
it's really you will be able to say this
is re preference so anyone who knows you
from anywhere in the world will be able
to say this is re anyway well he's
saying that these are usually mild based
on this we could say the people
summarized on this rubbish Edmonds
Garland's like the embassy was net fish
who acts him on the stomach um
that is me pictures of my vehicle this
is getting very very technical you saw
more than rubbish of us girls dating the
customs issue the Buggles and it doesn't
the rep is saying that there's two
experiences of costs remember that this
course is on the verse for after that
sow the last week's partial the idea of
courses right that you the oil that we
used should be for the Manohar should
the first drop should be very very
refined so the olive has to be olives
have to be crushed very well the rebus
says there is one type of crushing of
shatter being shattered bread when when
you you feel like you put up to the wall
by someone else someone says listen you
better do this or you better go there
otherwise it's not going to be good for
you so your your your back is up against
the wall then there's another experience
no one says to you you must do this and
no one is gonna you know take you know
hurt you god forbid you're a free man
and nevertheless the fact that we have
gold we have exile we have problems we
have that were not that we're not
machetes not here and and was you know
we had the Cena the divine presence is
is lacking that bothers us I always
point out at a wedding which is the the
pinnacle of joy for the couple for the
parents for the friends such right the
under the hoop up we break a glass it's
such a powerful you know I want you know
one hand you could say also the
precedent to me it's not depressing it
brings out the reality of what we're
learning here and that is that until it
becomes who you are we are in a
situation where we need to do more until
Michelle comes then the
Cooper is not 100% that's right
don't kid yourself now of course you
have to be happy that it's a very happy
time during that night so the rest of
the night and the rest of the hope is
all about simcha but the reminder is so
the goal so this is why what he's saying
here that the hill is that the closest
experience that comes from the ghost
from the fact that when goes in exile
that is relevant and deeper than the
cursus experience that comes through
mysterious nefesh because the closest
experience of the series nefesh our
self-sacrifice is only the preeminent in
and it's an imposition on us whereas the
curses the shattered this feeling is
even in the free society so touches us
who we are in our very instance this is
what he says okay tomorrow the you guys
have come into claim oh right
or not okay Tuesday Wednesday Wednesday
ulcer that Tuesday Wednesday there's no
shear yes okay and Thursday bitter chef
anyway I better go now cuz it's you know
we change the clock America so we were a
minyan is in a few minutes yes what
motion is it is it now a six hour
difference yes when are you changing
their to stroke do you know a couple
weeks ago I think the three weeks
mandatory before Pesach or after Pesach
okay anyway dr. B Yemen hammer be much
clearer senior in your pursuits and I
could tell you that if you're looking a
bit what speaks Hebrew he lived in Beit
Shemesh many many years ago oh wow wow
sorry are you really are you really
considering coming back or just a visit
oh my daughter is learning here
she's thinking about staying or not
staying and so she stays my life that
I'll buy an apartment uh-huh what type
what type of position are you so my
wife's a position she's a dermatological
and I am a researcher professor at the
University of North Carolina ah very
nice very nice okay now whatever it is
now that's look leadership see this is
not cause from your children and and
only we should all together prepare
ourselves for Purim because that is the
special days agaisnt yes yes motion look
at my video my videos out of Khurana

minutes on the antidote to the
coronavirus exam i and my youtube
