so we're saying over here the difference
between he says the difference between
the subservience to the Mitzvah versus
the subservience to the Balrog sure in
the master of the will it recently it
results in the performance and explains
the O's Hagana Sheba schemer who got
cake Nippon a Chicago ruts an alien
butter who he says then even though the
the commitment is because this is God's
will because mocking nevertheless had a
year boy half though there will be a
difference bein qiyamah spartan became a
who came in the fulfillment of laws to
cook in comparison to the filming of
statues that the game i miss bottom when
when you fulfill the laws how do you
either give st. adjacent maybe you kill
my hook him you will feel more pleasure
in in the rational laws versus the
statues which are irrational that say if
your commitment is to the what to the to
the mitzvot to the will my thinking
conversely the Mishima calle mr.
mitzvahs neatness Ibiza Kabbalah salic
lowly someone who fulfills the mitzvot
because he's committed to the overall
master which we call Kabbalah so how
closely the overall couple of soil and
he says in the parentheses sure who
again have dumbest national dish ma this
is the idea of the preface in Iceland is
my so he's given away now the answer
what what is what makes us have the
Kabbalah say oh it's the preface sing of
national dish that's the virtue of hot
dumbest national admission means my
commitment is not to the what my
commitment is to the who and who is the
who have called this birth with the
Kotsay alls Horrigan became a hukum so
then even when you do statutes
irrational mixes like shot this and all
the other things
yagi is a magnificent it will feel a
great pleasure a wonders pleasure and
this is the answer why is it that
sometimes we say I have no joy in doing
the mitzvot the mitzvot 'the to me is a
pain I'm doing it because I have couple
of cell but I really don't like doing it
and you know the answer is right here is
the end so we just learnt the answer
because your commitment to begin with
it's not to the bower of sing its to the
ROTC and if it's Tourette's and some
things I don't want to do so I don't
like it think of it in that relationship
if you commit it to each other because
of the what they're gonna be kind when
you're not happy with each other because
the work doesn't excite you or you're
against the what but if you committed to
the who the who meaning the institution
of marriage you know it's only it's only
only peace and harmony good because the
institution is holy you committed to the
to the overall idea the details have to
be worked out
so their ever says here you want to have
a magnificent look at the words our
uniqueness no wonder is pleasure like
we're saying either sugar smack it smack
in the middle of this macular mixture
doesn't come from the from bottom up
Mitzvah to you it comes it comes from my
cousin sparkle to you if you're
committed to our sin then I'm yours
whatever you want master you want me to
stay home I have the same thing you know
we have that the the famous different
see this brings your unison you remember
right between our be Akiva and I'm from
Avenue the mother says in breakfast that
the keeper said must say overly yogi
when will I have a chance to do the
midst of tea of
of kiddush Hashem right and when the
Romans raped and killed him you know
that He fulfilled the mid-stroke in the
serous nefesh Wow
Seth cities as high as that is as great
as that is it doesn't compare to of
realms with sinister fish what was that
groans we see this net fish you want me
to die for you ashamed I'm right there
but I you want me to live for you I will
have the same pleasure in living for you
as I haven't died for you maybe a Kiva
had what we call I'm a bookish because
it says call your man you look at the
Gomorrah
call your mind all my days I was seeking
this mysterious nefesh that means he had
an agenda a holy agenda but I'm still an
agenda of remedy no had no agenda
avril lavigne says I'm yours and yours
so this is a good example to explain the
difference between the subservience to
the Mitzvah versus the subservience to a
cog is vertical and it doesn't by the
way it doesn't give us exotic and all
that but still there are levels so so do
you do it because the Mitzvah turns you
on or do you do it because God turns you
are irrelevant to what the mitzvahs and
that's what the rebel says here and this
I think for me and this this really
answers decision why why is it certain
mitzvahs are just boring I have note but
I don't you know the answer is because
you haven't yet reached the point where
you're totally committed to our copies
but I'm doing the mitzvot doing the
mitzvot half-baked
is doing the mixer but it's half-baked
because you're not committing to him
you're committing in a sense to yourself
and you see in the midst
you see borrow from the Mitzvah yourself
and therefore you do the Mitzvah let's
say I want to have a nice little
domestic or something because know this
I'm gonna come to shul or my kids asleep
I like the Mitzvah and say not even in a
grub waiter yes way but I'm saying the
Mitzvah is what pranks your involvement
your interest your commitment if that's
the case there's a difference between
the spottin the the amount of pleasure
you get and doing this button this I
understand giving sadaqa understand not
to steal I understand and those whom
it's Swiss
I have full commitment because they
speak to me but in the midst raised that
don't speak to me now but I do them
because I'm I'm a fruit drew I've
committed to a share that's the attitude
and result if the team is only to the
ruts Michele
then comes the key into the ballet rock
serene it's not about the particular
mistress pleasure this is such an
important point to think about it's
worse when Hashem gives us the plater
but getting the trailer of three four
days in your session four days of it's a
shame and we have to ask ourselves what
is our commitment to cater and that's
why they were eaten that mangoes tell
the story of mental foot the fuss it was
it was a hundred plus degree like you
had a heatwave last week and crafts
rubato that crying the roof of flat may
be Stiller's and I was boiling hot so no
one came today afternoon served they say
there 331 buffer walks in and he sees
the mental sitting there with his casket
that he Wars you know and his both
distract and it's like scourging so he
goes over he says namenda if you maybe
go onto the porch they had a my pass it
over there it's a little cooler a little
maybe more Brooklyn but want to come
because now the whole base message is
empty so that Mendel said absolutely not
what am I going to show them that
because it's boiling and it is boiling
all the sudden you you wax up you easy
up and you that's not what I want to
teach my buffer I want to teach them by
fire and by
cold and whatever the case is again put
it in perspective you know I'm not
saying they should have had the air
condition but the attitude that you know
that's the Mistral you're committed to
the midst of learning but as soon as it
gets a little tough you run the other
way
the same was here in in in Brooklyn the
rapid didn't let his Kassadin didn't let
he spoke about not leaving the
neighborhood when the neighborhood went
south
okay the 60s and everyone ran like mice
all my neighbors here and they're rather
god-blessed they all ran out who stayed
in crew Heights only their Labov atures
the nuts the cuckoos and why they would
have they would have OSA ran away
because the poverty rebus said don't
leave and by the way a cycler ever said
the same thing the Williamsburg because
they also had issues there and he said
don't leave and I'm Marcia Franklin came
in 68 or six one of those years and he
spoke there he was the place that got
there he says forbidden to leave the
neighborhood but meanwhile no elicited
except Allah Barba Jers the commitment
is not to the rupture the commitment is
the bow harrelson in this case that ever
being a conduit for coders Broncos will
whatever but why didn't the other secede
them have the same belief in their
conduit get these sensitive things that
not things generally for public but you
don't have said it's just a mindset how
trying to break it down you know the
difference between the commitment of
subservience
sure it's Ruis and what then we're happy
in the de magnete de cabelo cetera but
then you not a sit and think a little
bit yes time what does it mean to myself
my family what message do I want to
bring to them and and again you know how
it is every generation you start here
and it goes here you start here it goes
we'll start on top it will fall a little
bit you know I'm saying it'll fall a
little bit but it's still there still I
guess there's a comparison but if you
start low it falls below the line and
when it falls below the line you get a
lot of heartache which we don't need
let's continue or we have another few
minutes and now he says oka my cane
became my horse but how do i equal
inflation now here he says it's a very
short brief few words but there's a lot
lying in this line is it so - in the
fulfillment of law miss bottom having
her only make whom if Allah Isis more
why did say affiliation they could first
of all what does he say that's right
that's right that's the poor let me just
elaborate for a minute miss Walton laws
are natural you know we understand civil
law right my surmise right we understand
you don't need to have a toda to tell
you not to murder dr. Steele and to get
Seductor to help somebody so you would
think that when you do miss button when
you do them and you're committed to the
respective if you're and you if you do
them because you're committed to God's
will not to the master but that you do
because of the will you know you have
pleasure that ever says but if you're
coming from the perspective that you're
doing miss 14 because this is the will
of the master and you commit this to the
master you'll have even more pleasure in
doing civil law civil law
it's civility and it's rationality and
be transformed by transcendence God so
you're giving that Seductor is no longer
just because I have I have mercy on the
person you're giving up the duck is
because I sense wants you at this moment
to give to duhkha
and the same idea with not to steal and
their will the other prohibitions it's
not because it's just civil if godly and
the sensation of something being godly
that's why I look at the language he
uses who ain't ignition
when can you say it's a wondrous
pleasure like I said before and yet this
is so this schmuck what does it really
do schmuck what is it really tasteful
and delightful and pleasurable when it's
God's pleasure when it's your pleasure
on the most refined in the even in the
most refined way at the end of the day
it's you and if it's you there
differences how it plays itself out for
example my she always asked it for
example example if in your mind and this
is something that we grapple with if in
your mind what you're doing is not
inappropriate you find loopholes how to
do it because it's rational so you
rationalize and you say God maybe not in
this case right you play that game that
all Christ if you commit me this only to
the Ruksana shell if you commitment is
to the Balraj Sahni it's not up to you
no one's asking you
Hashem is your master and our Shem says
this is the way it is
Zeb now if Halawa that's later and you
know
finds a kosher legal loophole and it's
really acceptable by rebutted then it's
again the will of a sin you can do you
can go beyond you can do you know you
can do a hit your Mitzvah with
limosaurus at then whoever has them I
can take care of please if the goal of
name is cherisa then and go beyond but
that's the same measure as I did in then
if a lover supports it however for
supports it that also is an answer to
your knees question of last week you
know you can't put it all into one box
it doesn't work that way like school
said before this year even taught me the
yoni about it you can't put it all into
one box it has to be looked at you know
like I've told you who's a good rabbi
who's a good rough someone who finds a
hectare that's really solid in Formosa
to say everything's forbidden is easy
but to find a hectare that's really a
player or valued how healthy that that's
a specialty that's a specialty that's
not something that you know and that's
why for example there with the Pope
that's right that's why there were
serious travelers that the river and
rabbi Zalman shouldn't welcome who was
the mayor of the Bible for years the dry
nights they sent heavy showers Travis
Travis terabytes of Reinstein he took
upon himself his shoulders to make these
rulings that whatever I don't know why
hell I mean we know why how cuz he was
such a genius of of Halawa and the
placing but but nevertheless you know
that's that's that's what he took upon
herself and Claudius wrote needs such a
person but but it takes an expert like
the moisture and a Yiddish a Mayan and a
humble person of that stature to make
such a ruling the average rug couldn't
what could be would eat and because they
were they were scared I mean you talked
about another one said well it wasn't
another stir once and write once read
with interest yeah hold the show you
know there was this question I was a
real serious question about about
adoption and it was actually Alabama to
couple either the 60 seventies I don't
know they wanted to adopt and how
logically this there's some serious
silence should be a Jewish child or a
guy which is better because of he hood
because of you hood a Glaser child is
better but other issues it's a
complicated child and the revered you
know the rabbit would always say go to a
rough the rebels a rebel he didn't he
didn't past him and although you know we
heard many things sack over the years I
try breakers but he always sent you to a
rough and for whatever reason of zombies
shipment work in the Chabad love didn't
didn't want to make a ruling say sent
them to rebel salivate cheek he sent
Ella baggage a couple to rabbi cell of a
check of rebels Gahanna who you know at
the time the world perceived him as the
left-wing you know miss rocky and I was
told this by Robert hairlip who was a
Rebbe a receiver magazine at university
very close to terrible salivation he
told me the story so he said that the
Lubavitch a couple needed someone to
present their case Travis elevated so
rabbit solve a trick and they afternoon
between breaks giving this you this year
or after this year he would throw up on
them would come from all over his you
know the young Israel Berlin would come
to speak to him you know cuz he came
once a week from Boston to Manhattan to
New York so you see them anyway so file
up was there and he went into the tutor
of his elevator that he says then this
couple you know a bother couple they
don't have children they want to adopt
the situation they want they want to
they want to ask the rough if the rough
can find a legitimate Hector
I'm salivate basically said to him I'm
not give I'm not I'm sorry
you know you know first of all why the
coming to meet their lab abacus they
have their a but he said the by which
her ever suggested to go to the rob
their the ruffs have come to you I so he
told them to come back two three months
he wants to think about it three months
go by
he says come back in three more months
at the end of six months or so and the
pressure was for him to give up shock he
says look I
I really am uncomfortable giving up
shock this shows that he was a big year
a Mayan you know and he says they need
to sham come back in six months and
you're then I'll give you a purse akut
six months went by she became she became
pregnant and then taki he ruled that it
was allowed and the rest is history
so horribly her luck was telling me that
a resale of a cheek was like a tonic you
know that he gave a broke that it was
MacWilliam but all I'm saying is look at
the meticulousness you know here they
call him a left-wing Modern Orthodox
rabbi and leader you know what I'm
saying and and look how he was so
ambivalent and so hesitant to give the
sock to give the Hector because giving a
hat there for a real rug that a real Tom
McLoughlin
is very serious business yes most
admires the higher it's the right thing
to do with society all the community
says we should give is because it says
we're supposed to give yes yes in other
words so then so then if you don't have
the the money to give you boot Rebecca
your mind you'll do stuff to with your
heart you're just ducking with your bar
because you're committed to the Hashem's
will which is sadaqa when we're there
whereas if you don't have the phone so
okay I'm excused
okay guys have a great a great day we'll
see everyone tomorrow mr. chef her side
is a flavor I'll take it
