it's been of what you did during the day
and when you realize that in this area
that area you didn't do proper
it really bothers you and you do true
for but it's a frustrated it's an
avoider that's bitter and marinos and
when you when you work on that the night
before the morning when you get up and
you prepare yourself for that bidding
you'll be in the mode of clave the
drafts of yira of or yoke the Cibola so
that's the ugly the couple say that's
their vote before darvany governing
itself has to be illuminated bright and
shiny and happy and you know a positive
so this is this is what we were
discussing about yesterday and from
there in that in the ice both in the on
page 51 15 he spoke about three
different types of Arva loving a sham
one is Nava that is basically you
realize how a sham is cooked close to
you by giving you your needs so you
reciprocate so that's a level of love
but it's kind of tit-for-tat what do you
do for me and I do for you a higher
level he brings chapter 46 of target
come I'm a puddle upon him just as the
reflection of one's face when when one
passes water is the face itself so to
the bond the relation between arc of
this borrow and the hidden and the ye'd
is an inherent bond and an inherited so
that so that's a higher that's not what
what did you do for me and I and I did I
do for you
that's very kind of selfish you know not
we don't mean you know in that course
sense but even a wider sense is still
relatively a selfish love the higher
level of paid at member of and Tonya
chapter 46 and finally quotes is more
sophisticated more more removed from the
selfishness but nevertheless it's still
you know a reflection in other words
there is an association between the
lover and the
loved one so yes it's not you know I do
this for you because you did it for me
that no but we're in a relationship so
in other words we owe each other
something you know that so as as
sophisticated as it is and and and non
selfish nevertheless attention it hinges
upon selfishness it touches upon
selfishness as an association the word
of Hebrews astride shyness Shia it shy
of two to the the love of the you know
what you do for me and I do for you
finally there is the genuine pure love
which is just for Hashem himself no
strings attached whatsoever I gave you a
muscle that's not brought here right now
the minor but this brought elsewhere for
cities
mm Allah says I love your sham and he
says Kira cell okay I'm Leto so there is
three things does hello Kim God there is
carousel Oh Kim the closest of God and
then there is Leto is good it is it's
good for me
Leto was very selfish you know what do I
get out of it what do I get out of the
relationship but with God am i
benefiting well that's that's basic you
know then there is something more
sophisticated less selfish which is the
closeness of God even if I don't get
anything out of it even if there's no
Leto it's not good for me I can't say
how it's good for me
nevertheless the aura and environment of
Kira of of God's presence is is good is
it you know it's good so that's less
selfish and more genuine nevertheless
it's not pure God it's already that when
God is Kuro then there is hello kid so
that's what governmental says give us
hello Kim Leto
so again regularly we interpret the
verse as the closest mm Allah says
fact that you're close to me Hashem is
good for me that's the way we read it
the way Rashi comments see this says
it's it's that's true but it's much
deeper that here governor Melek was
really meditating on three different
aspects of his relationship with Hashem
there is the basic aspect that's good
for me there is the higher level that
it's good because God is close and
finally I don't think about closeness I
think about God and the truth is that's
that's the healthiest type of
relationship because any type of strings
that are attached to a relationship
ultimately it's it's selfishness
ultimate is there's a reason for it and
if there's a reason a reason can cease
to be even because someone else has a
better reason or someone else refutes
the reason or you've lost touch for the
reason that's why just parenthetically
those people who say they that there's
one of you was a very basic you know
mundane example that you're here on the
street and tell you how erroneous it is
people say oh I'm 40 50 60 I'm not a
love anymore with my wife I fell out of
love I want to go find another woman it
I'm not talking about how how how
inappropriate that is Jewishly but
talking about even conceptually
philosophically exactly exactly that's
exactly what essentially it shows that
to begin with to begin with you're
married here for a reason so now you got
bored with your wife or she got bored
with you or someone came and said that
this is not you know whatever so it's
all reasons and guess what guess what
sometimes the reasons make sense but
there is the story with the semeth ethic
and a faucet that I always repeat
because it's so important and sometimes
we don't want to hear the story but it's
important to know the story there was a
faucet exam I said that his name was
Roger box smooth read about him and thus
it was the previous rep it was a he was
one of the previous rappers teachers
when he was a young boy he went back to
the
Semak said that in the late 1850s or so
he was first to miss not get than it
became a hoss it's the whole story he
brought the previous rebel rights his
entire history how he became husband
anyway so he was um he was diverting a
shul shortly after you know after he
married and he had his powers over said
you know one of the signs of Allah by
virtue across it is the tallest is over
the head fully when you dolphin not half
way you know but when you get involved
intensely in diving you want to block
out anything else to put the towers over
yet
so his towers is over his head and he's
dominating then he's crying and he's
laughing whatever he's dropping to
assure me is expressing is trying to
create a bond his wife comes into shul
and says small betrayal it's late
suspect it's late there was like 2:00
3:00 in the afternoon come home meet and
she goes back he doesn't listen
the next opposite happens again the
third trapars it happens again this time
she doesn't let him go she goes into
shoe again this is no one else around
everyone has left but he's diverting by
himself to a sham he's meditating she
goes in and she pulls the towers off his
head his good friend nuptial bed
participated another big about Fawcett
who was there noticed it because he was
diverting to and and by chance he
noticed it I mean how can you not notice
the woman coming into the menstrual you
know a little steeple everyone notices I
don't care how how a meditative you are
you're sitting right there you notice a
woman coming in and especially when she
grabs the talus off her husband's head
after she left he goes over he goes over
to his friend Schubert shallow right
smooth body severe goes over to smooth
metallo they're both friends and he says
never smokes moobus a low if you married
a woman who does not appreciate you
diverting long on Shabbos it's a mistake
it's called in Hebrew a mecca place he
made mistake he got gypped he got ripped
off
he said you should divorce her you have
grounds for divorce because you wouldn't
marry a woman who pull your towels off
when you've dived into a shame you
weren't happening for your own ego you
were trying right so listen to what he
answer this listen because this is the
punchline he said he said to his friend
but isn't he says you're right logically
you're right I should divorce her
because obviously she doesn't appreciate
the awfully long and thinking and
meditating and all that but what should
I do that the whole our holy river that
same ascetic made the blood the blessing
the bracha forked ocean under the Hupa
with a shams name and now through the
divorce I will be making that brother a
brothel of attila a wasted brother I
can't do that now that's the story
what's the punchline what's the message
for said earlier even though logically
he had it from his belt I'm still you
know from his world perspective he and
she well different wavelengths so it was
a mistake and those grounds for divorce
right not lovely I'm not talking how
logically but you know spiritually fills
yeah nevertheless there's something
deeper and if the same ascetic sanctions
our marriage this cross it felt it's
from God that means I need to go through
this my soul needs to have this
refinement process that's one story
another story I think I told you this
also but it's good to mention again with
hospital came to the alter rebbe of the
ballot Anya and it's appropriate because
you test cuff kiss liver two days ago
and he said ribbit
you got to authorize me a divorce she's
driving me mad I can't anymore I know I
have kids but I can't please sanction me
to get a get the represent no go back
and try again
No Go Back show and buy us go back Papa
goes back tries another few months
no good rember stay off forever at this
point looked at this guy he's as Yankel
listen to me I want to tell you
something I know what they even say
these words I'm paraphrasing Uranus
summer dr. Eva's telling this Yankel
yearning summer came from the top you
have of a summer that came from the time
of when the Yeadon were in - not money
they were worshipping something else
calls idols idolatry 2,000 years ago
you're looking tonight
you see they had a crazy thing they'll
worship idols right left day/night idols
cuckoo but we pursue the dollar they
pursued idolatry so he says you
committed hundreds and hundreds of
transgressions of idolatry because
that's the summer that you have can you
imagine the out there ever telling this
to a person it's hard to imagine but he
had no choice because he had to give him
a message so what did he say he said
every time I heard this rabbit Miguel
the translator of the spot centre he
said every time your wife's nudges you a
drive is you nuts
it's another atonement from one time
that you worshipped idols and since you
worship idols three times a day it could
be three times a day when your wife
drives you mad and wipes away another
day of Tuva again again the point of the
story is the right right exactly
but the point all disappointed to the
same idea that Bertha there is a kisser
that's me there is an essential bomb now
now I know you might be at wondering and
asking well the Torah says there is
times for the voice of get we know that
but when I took in now halakhah we're
talking now do do you come do you come
to a place where you say since the
breath a brothel was made by a row and I
read bare of with a chef's name that
outweighs any logic it's deeper than
logic
and I did this is not something you can
legislate this didn't come from the
Semak said it this came to the cost of
the way the closet felt the way that you
feels you know I'm saying sorry and and
it's not my place or anyone's place to
go and and and tell someone who you know
who feels they need a get and they've
gone through counseling and they tried
this and they tried that and I'm not I'm
not going in that direction I'm talking
about the idea and the idea is that you
have to set that you will set from the
very beginning even before you go under
the Hooper why are you going down to the
Hooper with this person why you know I
always tell you know young men and women
I say when they're dating I say to them
if you can't accept the other person's
deficiency you have no business dating
them and marrying them you have to love
their deficiencies and weaknesses and if
you can't embrace that it's not going to
be it's not a good marriage if you're
gonna have problems we're all we all
have weaknesses we all have deficiencies
and you have to be able to say oh though
the person has these deficiencies I
still love them I still care for them I
still want to be with them I still want
to marry them because I love them I love
the bond that's that's the new cooker so
taking it back home as I call there's
Burke home there is a sham didn't
provide some of this today
Hashem threw me a curveball this healthy
new etc all these issues stop and ask
yourself is your relationship about it
because there's Berkeley or is is about
what he did for you and you do for him
is it kind of selfish or or is it was
even about God being the presence of my
life of closest and Happiness or is it
just God's kid ello King before carousel
Oh Kim and the more you think about that
you understand it and you and you work
with it and it resonates you'll see that
both in in in spousal issues and the
relationship issues and in with the abus
term you won't have your own questions I
just came back from from Poland in
Russia but so Russia is if Moscow is
right you feel like you're in Manhattan
but in Poland not a war so but I went
out to my mother's birth
my grandmother's birthplace you know
one's a town a village and it's you know
it's paved roads and there's villas and
this it's not the way it was eighty
years ago but you still it's not a city
and then if you stop and allow yourself
to think about my family was entire
wiped out killed destroyed with
thousands and thousands hundred
thousands of other Jews they rounded him
up sent them like Treblinka they never
you know you your mind doesn't have the
the mental ability to to fathom like
what did you do God you know you know my
grandmother told my sister how when she
was a collar the girls came out and they
sang the third in this in the village
and class officials a little dinky
village over there outside of Warsaw had
an hour out right and she was describing
to my sister when we were children how
how warm it felt she got married in 1935
so I got the document I have a copy of
the document I saw the book in which it
was written from pre-war I had it in my
hands and I have a copy of the page
right she married 35 and the 39 the
entire life history her husband was shot
on the street dead the father was shot
in the soul was 50 60 other people five
days after the war broke out something
that the SS didn't authorize the German
mom's a among their own there was the
first mass killing of the war was in the
my grandmother's City Koch hospitals and
my great-grandfather our Sarang Sheila
Cohen was one of the people was shot so
my grandmother loses her father in the
first five days of the war loses her
husband probably within two three four
weeks of the war and she has a little
baby my mother and and a mother and a
sister where's she going and start
running your world is turned upside down
overnight and and so can you understand
this no you can't understand this you
can't understand it you shouldn't want
to understand it and frankly you should
think about it but at the same time when
you when you know if their once a
lifetime when you go into a shtetl and
you go into your own relatives
so right that's when when we live see
this it keeps your movement strong
because the relationship with the ablest
is not about what he does for us
including life and death
sorry life and death is a definition if
we don't understand him we don't
understand what he wanted we don't
instead why he did it but we know that
what he did was supposed to be done
don't understand it but we know what he
did was right
that said Munna and it's the same thing
in everyone's life we should never have
Hospice showing these atrocities but but
look how whether it's in America or
actually throw the enemies are all
around us right so you have to
strengthen your Munna to Bailey you can
never live up let up you can't just let
it barb I guess say I had a Munna but
today I could take a backseat it doesn't
work that way you go to a doctor he
gives you report he says I don't like
your blood pressure I don't like your
heart pressure but I was just healthy
yesterday yeah well today's a new day
and over sudden you're confronted with a
new report what are you going to do
and muninn so this is what we're
learning in this mindler is that the
third level of alpha is a level of of
the deepest bond because it's hello Kim
himself it's a shame himself let's
continue now on page 116 were actually
in middle of the page I'll tell you
where we are we are here we're on the
fourth line the fourth line it says
Vikash M is binding the exit the fourth
line the middle of the line Hashem is
bringing bxm half full of our members to
a cell fully the units are endless so no
this actually legislate that when you
meditate on the essential distance and
exaltation exaltedness of God the vaca
this borough of itself it causes you to
have more or for him Wow episode we make
a said deeper mass of the zoo ball the
ha'la'tha this thought this
this logic is not to of your reason to
distance yourself in God but he says it
also brings you to loving you more re ve
ever beaten again this is called re a
very special level the love of delights
you know if something is eat a good rib
steak you say ah it's so delicious right
or you take a good jog or a good swim
and your hat are you going to put slits
it's oh what a gas market so pleasurable
coat I know there is pining of God we
say oh I feel elated I feel ashame in my
bones
tava by tecnocut unipi me is beau Mac
Adobe's buggers and a deep and inner or
fresh am comes from a meditation of how
God is close to to us the commercial
hula my local might atoll Amato Meany
just as I said is in heaven so till he
is below in other words you can't say
you who de where is a sham ask your
child whereas the shabby points up
that's a limitation for a child that's
good because that's basic you know but
when you think about it is a chef only
in the heaven Casa show is a sham only
nurse husband soul having an answer the
same to God
that's what he says so this idea to say
that thinking about birth meditating how
God is is so awesome which normally
would bring to a feeling of distance of
year a fear there ever says here it also
brings to a true ever why because yes
God is awesome but this awesome God
loves me loves the world wants to be
here so therefore I have a relationship
with it so I don't feel all I don't feel
fear I feel love right someone who's
really in your life very respectful than
you have
but for them right if you really if you
really respect them you ultimately love
them I had teachers a few teachers who
had tremendous respect for them that
caused me to have love for them not to
be distance for them sure I didn't speak
in their present you know I'm saying I
was respectful and love to them but my
heart was on fire I wanted to be closer
I wanted to hear more I wanted to spend
time with them I wanted to hang out I
was arrested now this rebel hits for
Coke that they called exotic of
Leningrad he lives in Moscow
I couldn't leave a side you know 75
years old he hugs you kisses you
he's the strength that so they touch it
when he gives you so molest him you
still get hand thus falling off he's so
strong
75 like an ox right and he's full of
love and he's smothering me the whole
time I'm supposed to be a half an hour I
was in his office for two hours I just
couldn't leave this man this you know
we're today to find the man who was like
full of love and full of kindness and
and and just goodness is sweetness it's
unique but you think about it this is a
person who gave his life with the KGB
for you this guy so you know I'm an
American Martin my my my American I've
ladies of serving God pales in
comparison to what he went through
so all hats are off for him so I should
be distant from him know the distance
the all and the reverence creates a love
here borough it creates a love let's go
further
and by the way I found this over the
course of my life in Labov ichika see
them that I knew
I'm not saying others are not that way
I'm not saying that but the ones that I
knew I saw this in in big Hoss seeder by
Buick on disco gay and my father-in-law
that they were very special people in
their own right you know but all of that
they had this humility that drew the
love out of the person and created a
close loving relationship not a fear
relationship you hear the difference
right to a friend who you love you can
ask about anything and if you can't ask
about anything and you can't express
your heart there's something lacking in
the relationship it has to be natural
let's go further nintzel have had a
however the year hey Maha Lucas we
understand the love and fear are
different
hame bad suppose some in their essence
beyond them in their content the same
base but lucema beyond and also in the
meditation that brings that leaves to
the feelings of love and fear the Yaga
Vienna hey maka the highest became a
mrs. loving a Shem and fearing a sham
are the source of the of the of the
energy became my mistress in the
fulfillment of mitzvahs Oh commercial
Khosla Rebecca's Allah's the author ever
writes in chapter 4 Tania quote but I
became um the one who fulfills the mrs.
the MS was truth you know there was a
mess
who are you - a Martian if someone who
loves the name of God the Humphries
loved us cat-boy badness and desires to
attach himself to Shem the Emmis value
they will either be either by having
love and fear for him
yes with highest bat mitzvah he has a
dish muck he has vitality enjoyment to
the Mitzvah the huff expanding desires
them so as though he puts up to him the
barn because he has to it's not as
though you've stuck because he asked him
he really again I always go back to the
muscle and a better wife swear I saw him
will die we saw him give sadaqa to me he
had enjoyed uncle even sometimes when
you curse out someone right after
Kristin out he gave him a check he
pushed her dad joy from giving sadaqa
it's it's it's not an easy thing you
know that people are give and they give
a lot they're not saying they don't but
you know you have the schmuck you know I
remember once a better a better wise KB
says give your brother Elora the right
in Washington here I want to take
this money and give
to him yes he had the schmuck on his own
I didn't go over to him so there is when
you have when you have a vein gira
to God you want to do as mitzvahs you're
looking to do as mitzvahs no one has to
tell you those mitzvahs that's why to
get up in the morning to come to shul to
Darvin and all that that's who I am I
love doing it just like I you know love
eating and sleeping in them and chilling
out
really if you have a vendetta to assume
your natural habitat is doing mistress
overthrow tears in a year additional
accessory more specifically leader is
the source of all negative Commandments
she ordered avoid the person has much
fear may odorless a set of negative
Commandments razorba she does good days
of the hoof none of us yoga and is very
careful with all fences and enactments
in other words even if it's not but even
if it's just a little think that the rub
on him there the rabbi's say is careful
to follow it via either and if when one

of during the mitzvah bahid or you could

if you can afford it I get the nicest
essrig i get the nicest martyrs I get
the nicest thing to do a mixer nimza the
quickest on that fish and Caloocan with
simple materials what we understand for
this is that the sole powers of the soul
the curse of them fish are different in
the mode of joy simpler or the mode of
medidas bitterness and frustration which
are Anita love and fear mr. Sesay Oh
mrs. Lowe says see all these are
cinnamons she closed in shackles and who
believed curse of the Luo Yin that ever
says all
this is the way the powers are in the
revealed sense I will be clinically so
ask me in but look at the soul powers
not as they are in the operating mode
burrow we call this operating mode are
called small clickers again Luo Yin
Clifton so osmium are the places the way
they are in essence not the way they're
operating already you know already doing
something but the way they are pre
operating the way they are from this in
the sole before their motion operating I
will emphasize me now listen to this
because this answers I think your quest
to burrow yesterday how to show my Sims
of our MIDI toes they're simpler and
bitterness and a veneer love and fear to
effort are one where is there a
difference between the tool and the
operating mode but in the brains behind
the operating mode kind of you know in
the in the water makes the coating the
coating to the computer over there
somehow they go hand in hand it's not
two separate distinct of modes
rather one mold consisting of two who
combined many quotes with the alternate
of course at the end of chapter 31 Tania
heads what the ability buddy Citadel
Troy is wedged in one side of the heart
over here and tears miss Citadel from
the other side the simple medidas
simpler and frustration and bitterness
mam catheter both like one welcome my
man and as the same as the puzzle saying
in in tractate Scullion bhava the so
Huck he cried and he left
what are you make up your mind to view
are you a crier or are you a laugher
you're not you're not Massoud that right
no when is crying and laughing a
contradiction when you're in the
operating mode make up your mind what
you're doing and who you are but if you
go back to your very essence they go
together there are two modes that make
you strong
and both our halves in other words if
crying and laughing are two holes they
don't get together but when is each
one's a half like the haircut see Scheck
he'll write to half a shekel you need
them both and by the way the same with
spouse it's the gays or says he's
vicious powder the goofer men and women
husband a wife or a half a body not to
whole bodies getting together it's two
halves they complete a make up a whole
same over here
yo-yo says our sins of a breeders that
ever says more so simply medidas meals
they said each leads to the other a true
and genuine frustration will lead to a
truth a true happiness and that you
simple bleak to a true frustration

it's beyond the brain's capacity tears
start coming down the tables what is key

so that's why in other words he felt
he's not obtaining it in his daily life
and and and and he was so overwhelmed
with that feeling that that caused him
tears so his tears were really his
essence which goes together with with
pleasure and God in other words he had
tremendous pleasure and God therefore he
wanted to do mysterious nefesh he wanted
assertion but he couldn't cause your my
until the Romans raped him that's when
he fulfilled kiddush but all his life he
said I'm yearning for the midst of for
the kiddush Hashem so that ever says
that goes in hand-in-hand with what the
governor says that he shed tears because
his tears were demonstrative of what his
real pleasure was yes motion yes and
though it's a very good question and
that kumar's of Amarna tightness this
kumar's Gomorrah brokers and the Rebbe I
believe asks your question in a seeker
that he that he made was said once the
CM of the tractate kindness and believe
that there in the next year in the next
year I'm gonna without shrimps help I'll
try to get to the safer and I think the
Rebbe addresses your question so very
good question and you would have a great
Shabbos it's sharp as before Chanukah
Shabbos after you just kiss lift go with
simcha only happiness that good to
everyone the Chavez
