I'm a philosophic demo from 1949 it's
written to 1949 the heading is 1949
where the bottom of the page the second
line from the bottom the last four words
will come okay who about Thomas nice
Alicia I'll just briefly recap we he we
learned the hazael said that when the
even preface not said before in this map
the angels came and the crown the year
there were two crowns one for NASA one
Phoenicia
the rebus question is from the first
part of the fossil it implies that the
crown the crowns were given for the
preface inc for the fact that they were
able and willing to preface we will do
before we will understand and the last
Clause of the hosel implies that
independent of their you know courageous
act of professing NASA if on this map
they got a crown for NASA and this man
even if they would have not prefaced
that's the implication so he says it
seems like a contradiction and then he
also said and if it if indeed the crown
is for the preface Singh of NASA before
this rod that should have gotten one
crown it's one issue why to so those
were his two questions at the beginning
say and to understand this he starts
explaining what's the whole idea of NASA
Venetia and he says that the that
there's a concept called a cabal of soil
accepting the yoke everyone has heard of
that knows about it and it's a real it's
a real important but yet you know it
takes a lot of work and he explains that
the the would the kabbalah circle is the
khloe's it's the overall commitment
before you go into the details the
details are already as he brings the
example from SMAW and VII and familiar
volumes for Maya the hosel say the Mario
Brothers is caballes mitzvahs the
details this that not me but its mother
however Hofstra is about the cloud
acceptance of a sense Maya's relish and
okay now share my food without knowing
how that plays itself out so the Rebbe
that's where we're at now and he also
said that the Baja
Alice doesn't enumerate when he
enumerates all the 613 mitzvot so you
know you can actually read them and
actually in pickin write the ticket
Leigh Lewis we we enumerate though I
think we enumerate all the mitzvahs it's
either that knows her Shanna raba
by the way since we speak excuse me
speaking about ticking a person should
endeavor to say it in Hebrew or English
and if you can't and you could say it
through the two days there's too much to
say it all at one time say an hour to
one time and say an hour to another time
and I'm saying and even if you have to
go after to us but it's important within
the seven days of course the house Lama
did with he brought the car bonus you
have seven days from the the this
aluminum of flue is to say tick and what
Babbage knows that you know only
Lubavitch but the Shabbat was very the
Rebbe in a shop was very particular
about that and it says that when he
traveled after Lewis he was say tikani
because he said it I think both nights
we say only one night so the point is
that every one of you should say ticking
and this pen and and you know the late
Fox learned the night and and of course
we should also learn after we finish so
before ticking but it's a short night
usually three four o'clock you're ready
can you go to the mikveh or go to sleep
whatever so you know by the time you
finish in America for sure it's an hour
before but whatever it's not too a long
night so by the time you sit down and
just a piece of advice said if the show
is open if your feels not open by then
but if it's opens better to go to the
shul to say tikki because in the house
you fall asleep on the couch so first of
all it doesn't say it anywhere it
doesn't say it anywhere
I'm sure that were great robotics both
an American I just rode a vendetta nades
I'm convinced but but the overall idea
is a tavern should be calm and
thoughtful and and meditative and just
to rush one two three is it's like it's
not it's not diving if you just you know
so it's better to go to sleep for three
four or five hours three four hours a
few hours again you can go to sleep as
early I think like four o'clock 4 to
4:30 and if you get up and you get up a
to 8:30 you get four hours of sleep you
say you still make smile you know and
you go to shul yeah that's the idea but
it's not written the only anywhere it's
not written and in demand of them so if
a person knows that if they lay down to
sleep they're not gonna get up to ten
eleven and maybe miss Saprissa that they
should do it in the morning you
understand I mean but if you have a
choice then we go that route and and
it's not you've seen the community some
jewels it's not a bad thing you know
some shoes go this way some people do it
this way whatever you do is is kosher
but let's go back the more important
thing is to to say the ticket and I was
saying that the lid Fox they learn or
they learn at night and they don't say
ticket Hasidim and far them say ticking
so um you know do what you you know what
your mini gives but if you do so you
know if it's difficult sometimes so I'm
very I fall asleep at night I have like
my eye shut down I can you know not to
quit just I fall asleep so what I do is
I get it you know I get it very early
and I finish ticking in the morning and
I I get up usually at 4:00 4:30 for 4:30
and I go to the McRib and then I finish
ticking because supposed according to
cabal he's supposed to go to the
mcfadden at dawn
show us not because that's their moment
that was caballes a traitor
and the saying he was the best thing is
to get up all night and and he you see
if you could do it you should do that if
you can't do it even if you sleep maybe
try to get up
early go to the mixer if you'd and if
the mixers are open okay let's go to the
minor polka maintain the bottom of 3/16
so I'm saying the Battle of the Davis
does not enumerate the midst of an
atheist emilich FIA Michelle your God as
one of the 613 mitzvahs other I think
the Rambam does the other other so
number eight the midst of Du Bois he
doesn't why cuz his argument is Hillel
it's a mitzvah close it's a general
Mitzvah a mitzvah
that's enumerators put on trail and
build a soccer get married don't do this
thing
don't do that soon right that
transgression it's a prat it's a detail
so that I enumerate but I don't know
myrrh eight a generality so his argument
is that it's not it that's why he
doesn't enumerate it and Moshe what does
he say he says but what gives us the
clayey to do the 613 details it's a nice
yes Ramallah Kevlar the overall
acceptance that I am God to God and
that's what he calls a mitzvah clothes
so the pre the Cadabra here brings that
as a support to his idea of
understanding how important couple of
sailors now let's continue come again so
to who about demas nozzle Elisha is
regarding the matter of pressing we
shall act NASA Lanisha before we shall
understand the niche Mahabharata
mitzvahs this man deals with the details
the patroness ma what is this rumor is
type of 3:17 who I'll Dennis Mara okay
we say listen hero is loose - know what
I mean here just over here with your
ears more so they be sure who has served
if I have honor
I'll get they are Cephas Vicki pizza
classes Sh'ma has three men meat
meanings listen to this yo usin mommy's
here mommy's understand
if money is gathered three meanings
based on the huncles I look at them
based on them cooking so here he brings
the touch he connects the two or the
three here by understanding and
gathering all your soul powers all of
yourself gather it together while you
recite smile think about it understand
it and then and then you will really
hear it did you ever hear someone
explain smile that way that's what it
says in considers Chabad again
Sh'ma means here listen from a means
understand and smile means gathered I
see far less off so about to see the
says they're all connected when you
gather all of your soul powers your avid
your love your guru your recommen all of
the talents all of you you gather it
together in one place and then you
understand it yoni and you focus on it
that you think about it through
meditation through sport then smile you
really hear it and that's why as a
parenthetical note in Lubavitch they
were Hassidim
because sitting about from my yard
people who are doing a saw and others
when they said smile there was a date
they paused for a long time
10-15 minutes a half an hour they were
they went into meditation it's not just
you know my you saw a sermon okay I'll
share my frog Gong goodbye next or the
yet assess my desertion okay I said I
cook faster ina minuta took me one
minute and that's also good but that's
not the smiles about these bonuses the
real smarts about this bundle this is
the three things coming together that's
a lot of work that's got a gather all
yourself
we're out my I'm scattered I'm here when
I eat I'm here when I work I'm there
when I learn we're at my you got to
bring it all together and then when you
bring it together you have to understand
what am i bringing together and once you
bring it together then and you
understand that then you hear it so two
whole different smile and this takes a
lot of my mind work so the rector says
here this one line type of 317 two who
has survived under my means the
comprehension and understanding of the
idea
a legacy faced with keep a circus
through gathering and and and bringing
together the cleavers making a cannabis
misma says that ever just as this is
true for smile so it's true for what
Felicia we shall listen said yacht early
before not sorry
it means you show you should incline
your heart and your soul wish may our
Hawks is to listen to pay attention evil
Maharajah million abruptly Exodus how
and worth is God's divine will in his
detailed decrease listen in other words
my son of Shem says we bicker Halen what
is behind visiting the sick is it just a
good act and a proper ethical act of
visiting someone was not well for that
you don't need to Taylor listen and pay
attention to the deeper message within
each Mitzvah or yell me when you put on
till in the morning brought down a
circle Nora just the place of her modest
ideas with Shah bait however mother with
Shah babe she boot means up a mortgage
right to mortgage your heart and your
mind every one of us knows who and when
we our mortgage were committed until we
pay that mortgage the bank owns the
house or the apartment we shall bathe
Halevi Amaya
you're live your heart then Yemaya is
mortgaged to assume he owns it
I don't own it but it's my heart that
it's my brain ha ha he have it all wrong
it's his and he loaned it to you and if
you do what you're supposed to it
becomes yours
you know what I'm saying spiritually
speaking continue so that's what the
neighbor says this is something you have
to be uses the words say yatta liebelei
did not say 'la Hoxie there is worse
Maya to listen Halil hula Hawk shift to
pay attention how many times do we hear
something but we're not touch ova we're
not paying attention so that ever says
misma implies not only that they
understood they're learning not only did
they said listen I said you want us to
keep Travis NASA for keeping Shabbos
then they said let's understand Shabbos
this my they learned about Shabbos here
did ever say the family they learned
about Shabbos they pay attention to
Shabbos that's much more than just
learning about Travis and understanding
shoppers it's getting it you know
focusing hot Chava that's what he adds
over here and the same is true for all
mitzvahs and all he calls them visitors
all the trees were shed the behold mr.
Mitzvah he products an alien each
Mitzvah is a detail of God's will but
who blesses leaves above that need to
receive that has come down specifically
in a measured way where some Kostov can
such a way four corners of killing and
not five exactly two black strap straps
and not green otherwise you're not
putting on chillin you're not you're
doing something that makes you feel good
but you're not doing his will said the
in NASA to Theodore sueschubert Mitzvah
zoo if we do they
and the will as Hashem planted them in
this Mitzvah cause honey may rupture the
element mitzvah he then a Shem
illuminates that mitzvah very important
point here fellas many people many
people get excited about mitzvahs and do
and right and all of a sudden they add a
little twist to the right and a twist to
the left and all of a sudden it's not
the Mitzvah in its pure form
there's horns to the mitzvah and fringes
to the hitter and and all kinds of
things to the mixture that's what God is
Malin Bat Mitzvah let's face it Vevey
sigma Parkin infamous Devoran donate and
don't detract you want you want to do
other things to enhance yourself and and
and and no problem but keep it clear
know what the midst is and know what the
your only thing is so I'm not saying
there's no room for individual
expressing now let me just finish but we
have to be careful to know what is the
Mitzvah and the ruts in a sham you see
the language here in the mind where it
is only there when you do the Mitzvah
misra means the commander's commandment
not your commandment not my commandment
my commandment doesn't throw it down the
rocks not share it grows down a great
feeling I don't want to go into it but
in 1960s with Clinton literacy with LSD
so there were there were people not just
one person there were people who started
to say that let's take LSD can get a
higher this great experience where you
you know and if like you could meditate
and you couldn't and that ever said that
ever wrote about this you know there's a
letter from than ever but LSD and their
ever writes it's not the data factor you
know it's it's interesting that ever did
not say and I don't know about this
field may pepperhill knows a lot more
infamous difference knowledge you know
and studies it could be you could you
could reach a certain tremendous
experience be passively but it's not
that asafetida you see so if it's not
that if I Taylor don't turn it into
tater say it's my thing I need it no
problem because there were those that
were suggesting to the river to take LSD
for babbling and learning yet you
laughing you know this was there was a
different time you know so that ever
said it's not that if society that
that's the point it the Ruksana sham is
only in that effect area that that's
something we have to always remember and
you know one more point I know you guys
want to comment and I left you in a
moment so there were people over you
know last 100 years not just in America
and not just met you sir oh but also you
know elsewhere that that had a great
ideas and and but at the end of the day
didn't go anywhere be quite because it
wasn't the data fashion yes it was
something that turned on people and it
spoke to people and that's all very good
but that's not covet that doesn't set
the holy agenda give me a second my
phone I'm a Facebook here and the phone
over here needs to be recharged give me
a second to get the plug please okay
[Music]
okay let's let's go one by one Yoda you
wanted to say something that my son
Daniel oh go ahead
okay I'll give you a it's a fair
question it's a fair question
but you know today there's a new thing
called kiddush clubs it's not new but
it's the come very popular then there's
something else called Danish muscles you
know about Danish mushes I don't know if
it's in the lipstick world or the
achievers world or the Carlebach world
that's before before okay so here they
call it pretty Shabbos chill and I heard
of it in in the in America as bailiffs
moshus what is that that before a couple
before Friday before Shabbos he cut the
shul a little early or between the my
opinion and take a few shots of an uncle
and then okay so that is that that I'm
not even aware of
actually I am aware of it from the 1980s
in Marin County I told you I had
Frenchie lives there to stroll and today
but she in a group you know Coppa they
they smoke up before couple of shoppers
anyway so now this is there something
wrong how logically to kind of have left
the hylians before couple of Shabbos
know but it's not it's not that effect
either so you know my my daughter had
and my daughter Sunderland Tel Aviv they
have that for those that want then I see
I've been there so I'm sitting on my
sitter and they go over and their day
they're saying Ohio it's not terrible
it's not a sin but you know it's not the
dead it's not the dead of Hashem that we
lived with and Dappy with for the last
100 years
so that's who I'm saying you know so
here he talks about Eddie Moshe to a
mitzvah or subtracting and he says it's
not the will of God so God is not in
that Mitzvah right in the example I'm
giving you it's not a sin to have a few
a few shots before before couple of
Shabbos okay or or let's say okay
another example recently a professor I
don't want to say his name I think he
might be Orthodox but he's very bitter
against Orthodox people I don't know why
he must have had some bad experience
could be grew up of acidic years ago and
he's very popular and very knowledgeable
so with the zoom he decided to make a
zoom seder and and and he publicized and
it raised money and it was prescient so
he's not true my guess it maybe is he
was killed Shabbos and he said because
of corona I can do a zoom Seder
now I'm not past canning and to saying
you know are you God
a you know do you have a best in to make
such a ruling that you're allowed to
make a zoom seder in other words in
other words people some people by
themselves singles it's very
only space at night so his idea was that
in this situation its muttered to have
you put on your computer and do a zoom
Seder
he's the Ruxin I send there
the answer is if there's a logic if
there's a helluva kick back ink color
cover and if not no because you decide
or let's motion let's take the classical
example driving to shoeless Elvis knew
someone wants to be a shoe but he's not
showing the Shabbos and he wants to
drive the shoe it is that Roxanna shell
his back toggling considered the wheel
of a shell we know the answer is of snap
Lapointe when he died bees eat almonds
but you can say a shame would rather you
be home and not arrive to shul then come
to the show miserable failure right but
most people don't know any better and
that's why you know but I'm poking out
in if you think about it if you know
better don't you know there yes Moshe
what
[Music]
oh yes yes okay so you know so the burka
ladies are like to me it's like drinking
shots of alcohol before before doubling
is the life is it a sin to dress that
way is it a sin I mean you're gonna say
what you're gonna say so he'll wash em
it's definitely not excuse the
expression normal it's not the man for
him but he were talking about I won't be
clear we're talking here about a
something that is low so syphilis it
rots in our Veda you have to make a
distinction between what's a Nevada and
what's just mishegoss one second Hill oh
he loved that
you know I want to tell you when I you
know I had still have you know a museum
a small Museum of clothing and I
researched a lot about clothing do you
know that some of our dress in various
communities might be because the way we
learnt from the how they dressed
in that community fashion yeah yeah but
not only that the North African it's
very it seems very clear the North
African dress it came from the Muslim
countries no was they never them it was
adapted by claudius role or a
significant part with a pair of acting
of running etc so it became so we
transformed it just like the dead but in
1974 I believe he said you should put
the room RCA from the French national
anthem the words of our ascent moving so
he transformed his exotic so whether
it's a topic whether it should I burn
them in the best and who so if these
people have you know abundant if that
say that you're a lot of dress that way
and I today you can get abundant
forehead for everything that I'm not
sure would be hookah civilian but it's
still add here Jana do you want to say
something wrong
okay okay okay okay
and I'm gonna say something that I don't
mean you you know please so you know you
know the way I talk can I teach so let's
talk about the inion I really don't mean
you a beard a beard is according to
halakha strict our foot you you you
don't it's not a violation a 100 million
percent of our love if you don't have a
beard I points to the Kabbalah
it's the biggest violation or better
said not a violation
you're missing a tremendous amount of
kedusha that the beard brings to a
person that's what it says in desire of
college so that's a comprar right it's a
corporal it's a homra but it's a horner
yes but in the gun it has strong basis
and then those are today you know and
with even the winter shed today live
from the hinds oh he's the toughest guy
and all the ones that I wrote about it
in this book oh they were so much for
the beard and again I'm not talking
about now how to shave because that
could be how logic violations of the
shaver and all that but I'm talking
about there's the beard itself so that's
an example a person has to you know look
himself do I want this do I you know or
I'm not up to that yet so that's an
example to answer your question and
there are many such enjoyment and and if
we learn that's why it's so important to
learn and learn yourself not what others
tell you I just told you this Elliot I
cut this you know here interest in this
topic then you should go get a sellout
find where it says it learn it think
about it and they then make your
decision that's you understand that's
cold
I agree but most people don't do that
they listen to a rap I can listen to a
shear they grew up a certain way and
they you know decide in their life you
know and we know many people didn't have
beards during the younger years and as
that odor is more about 120 that grew
beards and color covered you don't say
Melo it's been principal they believed
with they believed the beard they wanted
but for whatever reason for whatever
weather their wives didn't want them to
have it whether they felt it said
goodbye no sir and I'm not justifying
those reasons I'm just saying for
whatever reason so so and the same is
true with Columbus what time is it okay
we have another few minutes let's go
back to the text okay mishegoss a bad
woman is moisture wants always practical
things so I'm gonna give a practical
thing but it's maybe it's too it's too
practical young people get married some
of them were very religious they act in
holy itself holiness denying the
conjugal rights that their wives are
entitled to and Halawa supports not
maybe completely but again maybe today
this example so citizen everyone does
what they want but it used to be because
the governor says that Tom Coughlin
should just be whether it was wife just
Friday night you know the Komodo well so
but I'm a newly married man
etc so he's homered his hundred Yanni
leads to a cooler and I don't know if
you're aware but there's one car Civic
community today two already been they
suffered a lot from this issue the gare
if I see them I don't know if you're
aware of it the Garrick I see them a
very big in this area they Vinnie but
they don't walk in the street talking
about the real garre's they don't walk
in the street with their wives and
they're very strange
in this area that I think there might be
a month or maybe well I'm not sure that
they abstained from each other so
there's some very heavy Hummers and it
led
we have stats from the comparing that
Gareth has hidden to other groups there
was more divorce in there than other
groups this again the list there they're
red but now and maybe the one before
made a change and that's why he told
them to dress very nicely and pretty too
to the woman to to entice their husbands
okay I'm not saying he said it openly
but there is this underlying current
this was a counter to the other extreme
because he saw that there was a real
problem in the community in this area I
mean I know Gary here in Brooklyn you
know in Borough Park very nice people
divorced divorced divorced and I was
told I didn't do a study so I was told
that it has to do because of this area
so here you have the only Cumbre you
want to be so Froome and it leads to the
breakers another area the show you know
the pre-show is right you guys know what
the be show is in the Hasidic community
the parents the parents of shopton the
parents match up to people and then the
they think it's a good match and before
they announced the engagement they have
them meet it used to be one time since
the pair is on the same page they're
hopeful and usually they this they say
they see eye to eye in one time meeting
each other just pretty difficult to
understand but that's the way it's been
and it's worked for thousands of
thousands of people so I'm not in a
position to belittle it now and we have
neighbors
little or apart now there's this real
there's been a real change
they're they're meeting they have that
to show but it's not just one time and
you're gonna laugh it's four times it's
five times and they actually go they
actually go out the pre-show used to be
that the the boy and the girl came to
the house of one of the parents I think
they would be in another room and then
and then they and then and they allowed
the the boy and the girl to meet on
their own
now that there's a change again by the
very facility it's not that way because
they're seeing that you know the
breakups of engagements are divorce so
these are all examples
