Pre Shavous Farbrengen 2022- Make your life Torah through Simcha and Depth - Shaike Feifer

so today we'll uh fabreg instead of learning in the text and uh we'll resume that actually next wednesday not is but wednesday so schwarz is uh an enigmatic yamtif why because whether it's one day narcissist or two days of hutzler it's it's so short before you know it it's over and what do most people celebrate flowers flowers cheesecake sleeping being up all night and you know it's like a hodgepodge of of a yum tif and the one thing that you could say we we all have in common claudius roll is are sarah's endeavors and how long does that last for 10 minutes five minutes so it behooves us to really understand the mohus we're learning about the essence of siddhis the hosts of us and if you understand them of of uh of schwarz you'll have a better schwa you'll appreciate it better so let's talk about that so the uh the famous medrash that the eden uh were went to sleep on god here they are about to get the tata and harsinai and uh they go to sleep and because of that we we rectify that uh transgression that chutzpah and we were up at night isera asked what what's the minute khabad so just briefly mini cabbages to say taken no monkey business to say ticket in hebrew in english i'm sorry within this night mr mishnias yes everything that's in the tickin leo schwarz the standard ticking that's in the community and we say ticket friendly nature normal time and normal time again you know it's not enough vein if you if you have a type that needs a dominant nades because you're afraid you're going to miss krishna later and and mr minion then dominates you know whatever works for you but but there definitely is the idea of davening mute yourself please what what what i was taught was that we stay up all night we say the tkin mikvah at uh alexa and then go to sleep and you wake up and you dive in a nice yum and you're not falling over and falling asleep during the kriya satyra but you're you're combining like the best of both yeah that that that that is the the way khabad generally does it yes that's correct but i'm i'm just saying there's no there's no law no one says you have to do it this way it doesn't say it doesn't say yes foreign i just just released that one point about mikvah i just forgot like what it is supposed to go to the piece it's brought down it's brought down in in in the swara magnesium from kabbalah the light of the morning star the bozena de cardinissa is prominent at alaysa and again and at that time at the crack of dawn there is that ha or that emanation of business de cardonisa the light of the the morning star and and you want to connect to that energy so we go to the mikv at that time absolutely so just on a very practical level mikville would be i don't know what time is all those shocker right let's all i'll find out but whatever time it is we'll just say 4 30 or so whatever yeah okay but on a practical level after mikvah then one would go and again if a person wants to do it this way of course with that that at that point then go home i mean go home after make for rest go to sleep and then come okay go to sleep but you have to remember to wake up before mankrishma or some people they'll go to the mikvah and they'll maybe save in bronchus or whatever and then they'll wait till 45 minutes later which is nice or so and they'll um say krishna and then they'll go to sleep they may you have to make sure not to not to miss krishna so you have to know when the time of christmas if you're going to go to sleep 4 35 and get up at 9 o'clock or 9 30 and see if there's monkeys but uh it's not good you know it's not it's not so you have to you have to be cognizant and you have to know yourself if you're you know the type to get up or you if someone wakes you up and then um i i don't know if people go a second time to the to the midfield although really logically you should because you slept you slept three two three four hours which is more than this amount of 72 minutes so if you're if you're going if you you know whatever there's no halacha here but uh i mean what are they doing in boston in new york city in the cities they go again to the mikveh i've no i've never heard people going again you've not heard of and you and and yes sir i said not no i said not as far as i know it's one time yeah i i i i i agree with i think that's the way it's done here but uh i'm sure there are those that go a second time i mean again in logic it doesn't make sense you shouldn't you should not go a second time the whole idea of going to the midfield before davin is because he slept not because he slept six hours or five hours because he slept more than 72 minutes well the logic would also be the dominant nates yeah right right anyway that's okay we finished my shirt any more on the questions on that or clear okay so thank you you're welcome so so the so the the question of course is where were they even coming from that they went to sleep in hashem so there is the beer that's brought down in the swarm and it's actually brought down from the green the villain and many others comment on it and they're never included and i want to just give the the the guardians beer that they anticipated to to become one with hashem in preparation of matantera and the greatest way they felt is to go to sleep why because when you go to sleep the mind a lot is not like in the it's conscious state in a sense there's no inhibitions so the ms the truth of the issue and the truth of the connection is pure it's unadulterated so they felt one second they felt that the the greatest way to connect to hashem is basket through going to sleep because during the day the awake state is when all these stuff that we have gets in the way that's the way so that ebb asks the question a simple question on that he says it's a beautiful explanation it's a creative religion however if that's the case why do we stay up if it's justified to go to sleep why do we stay up and that ebb explains that ever takes it a step further he says because at the end of the day at the end of the day as great as being in the sleep state is it's not reality and it's this it's this point that is the essence of siddhis which the essence of schwarz which is is about the combination of roughness the goshmias yesterday before this year were talking about the buster and the building of their bachelorette books he mentioned them i've worked about how the gosh sometimes the gosh miss looks like the rookies and sometimes the rook is like the rashmi's but the idea over here is that until schwarz until until we got the toyota there was something lacking in the avoider of the others and the imois and and yosef and everyone else their ruknius was an individual and had no impact on the gospels in other words the sticks of yakov right that passes by yates it says he played around and he heated up the animals and all that comes along cabal and says that's the equivalent of putting on thrilling yaakov put on trillion through the aveda of the makkus that's what it says in swara magdashim in other words whatever you accomplish if the rooft is the intent and kavanagh's when you put on trill on the same idea he had when you pull any when he when he did what they were democracies right now here's a question if i i just wanted to make a comment that you're the idea from the garage the the milo being asleep has an interesting parallel it seems to me with the uh with the rama who passkins that uh sleeping is is how you reach adla yada in puru oh very good very good good thinking i like it so so after yaakov used these sticks my shirt um what happened to them were they put in a museum were they uh used every day what happened to them guess what they could have been thrown out there was no kedusha left in the actual stick because there was no command meaning there was no ability from on high from god's perspective that kedusha should permeate the physical matter so yaakov's sticks didn't need to be buried today any boys villain if this if it's possible you have to bury the thrill why because it's called tashmishai kedusha it's holy the box is holy not just the writing on the box the the bias is holy and everything else what's the idea the idea is the message says that there was exeter there was a decree named heaven and earth was separate the idea is that heavenly matters is heaven and earthly matters of matter is it is earthly in other words when is shul you're a yi then when you're on the street you're a johnny and the joey and all that then it's two separate worlds comes along i'm giving your tater i'm breaking the decree of the heaven and the earth not joining together and i want that in the earthly gosmius there should be felt luchnias and that the item itself the geshem the geshem itself the material itself is holy and this idea is why that ever says why we stay up all night learning or most of the night uh learning why because because we want to show that as holy as it is to sleep and to prepare yourself on a on a mountaintop isolated and everything else it's greater to put film on one day with the famous story of a hossett who was a rav and a very special who was known from the city of palm tower he was a robin paltava and he was known as the paltrow and he was a ivan hashem and he became ill towards the end of her life and the doctor said that shortly you're passing on so he commented if i knew that my fasting am i not sleeping and my avoider of subjugating my nephew bombings and not giving into my yates or and the desires and again we're not talking about sins but whatever for him was considered a taiva would cause that i shouldn't be able to put on film one more day because i died i wouldn't do it because the greatest of avoidance doesn't equal putting on feeling one day now think about it there are many days we put on filling on and off right what and he didn't say putting on thrilling with my cavaliers with my avoider with my dabbling just the mere fact of putting on film why because the mitzvah itself is permeated with godliness and binds you to god and the mitzvah is about god not about you my avoider my fasting my learning my understanding my carvanha my shuckling my crying my laughing it's all me and it doesn't mean it's bad but it's at the end of the day it's me but when i put on a parrot film because hashem says that these boxes with this writing is hailing as holy and put them on it's not me it's god i'm completely subdued and subservient to god and that's the greatest connection there's nothing greater than that when did that take place anshulis that's what happened hashem gave us to tell you that this is the essence of sures the essence of schwarz is taking the gushmias making rookney's of it and it remains in the gospels and this idea that that is is not just a theoretical one and one that's uh we we we we talk about and by the way what i failed to say before with my should ask the question and this is if you don't get a chance to stay up for whatever reason like your eyes shut down really and say say taken the rest of yomtif try to finish the tick and the rest of yum i tell you that it's if if you can't stay up no problem don't feel guilty don't feel terrible if you really can't stay up last night i went to schulte my roof and about a minute is 9 30 i was there nine o'clock and i couldn't hold my eyes open i i literally was and i was like i'm paying for that i just left and i died in mind of it one o'clock in the morning i went to lay down there's some times when bagashmi's you're not you're not making up a story your eyes shut down now naturally naturally if you're going to have a big meal at 10 11 at night if you jumped at night and you could eat rip steak and and and delicacies and stuff yourself up with color you ain't going to stay up much so you know eat and and the mother says that is everyone agrees it's about the gosh of eating and then but everyone understand that eating if they like i eat and if you know you need to stay up and you tend to fall asleep after i have a meal like many people don't have a heavy meal you know limit yourself but if nevertheless it's very hard for you then just make it up i i i tell you for me personally it's become harder and harder and what i do is you know 11 12 o'clock i i i dream of on the couch thinking i'm gonna still make it over here and then i fall asleep and then i'll maybe lay down for a half hour hour try to sleep less than 72 minutes try to sleep less than 72 minutes then wake up so i broke that i didn't sleep so good and then another and then about three four o'clock you know i get up and then i'm up till eight eight seven eight o'clock you know and then what everyone has to figure out what works the best thing of course is to maybe to be in shul around people to to talk you know what i'm saying now also one more thing i didn't say before the the literature world i believe doesn't say tikkum they they learn and that's to be respected i know a friend of mine is a lebator he goes into a literature kylo he says ticking and he loves to see eden learning all night and that's a very admirable you know what i'm saying he's a heba dick and dominic is the same tick and he does that but he he gets a high from seeing eden learning all night which is it's a beautiful thing so you know not enough day every every community has their thing but going back to this dakuda of of taking the gospels and making us and this is a it's a hard avoid you know it's not it's easier said than done that's why our it looks like uh a hot plush you know of all kinds of uh you know what's going on over here and before you know it it's finished but really on you on our part on on the on the yids part it's a hard avoidance because i told you yesterday in this year sukkas you got a sukkah and you got to move in this rig and then you know and here and basically you have a matzah modern and all that here you have it's you in other words here the junctive is demanding of you of the individual because there's nothing to grab on to right we're not dancing with the title like symbols data the balconies reading that sent us our dividends and we listen we stand up very nice you know um that ever ever you know called for all children to be at that makes around the country i'm sure natchez role and america too they make these like ice cream parties where they get children to come even if it's not during later in the afternoon and they arrange for a minion which is very nice you know but it's all rookies at the end of the day you you're reading the title you're reading the ascendants at difference so that's why is the hardest of the three young typhoon in other words if we go about choice oh let's just you know let's get over it you know it's like the end of pace of 49 days this week and the 50th day and yeah we'll read the two days and the day or two and out next you can't imagine i don't know how it snatched your throat but over here and probably half of borrow park and then crown heights in flatbush or if not half a lot they go into the catskills in my days it didn't exist of course you were in your with your parents with your rabbi with your shoe with your people it was it's become stylish now especially a weekend like this you've got shabbos sunday and monday here so you start friday it's the have though the equivalent of the american memorial day is our shores this year and god bless them but you know when when i was growing up there was no such a muslim this idea how do you leave your show on schluis the title is being given they say yes sister yes i wanted to say it um it's a very nice minha the community i came from in new jersey that the the rabbunim of every shul would go to every other show in town and give a share and they would rotate around to all the different tools it was really beautiful it really gave they gave the community a sense of actress and that it's not although we all affiliate with a shul it's not you know you're part of a community yeah which would you think it would go and speak at the most left-wing modern orthodox jewel would come to you which is which community highland park edison aha very nice very nice anyway so so uh this idea of permeating the gas mias with luchnius dutch voice and if you don't do it no one's doing it for you we need to say there's no matzah and no and no no little vanessa to grab you yeah you the individual has to make the schwarz into a a yacht into a celebration what are we celebrating kabbalah satire and here too the previous rabbit abuse of yitzhak we've been learning his titus so it's worth mentioning he would wish people for sure always repeated it my father-in-law would wish people and we i follow and his we follow in his way kabbalah has received the title with joy with simcha and innerness and and and depth and pneumonias so for a moment i'd like to you know analyze this cabal satire you know simcha is necessary to really have real kabbalah why because if you don't have simche and what you're doing it's a matter of time till you stop doing it and even if you keep on doing it because of outside pressure it's it's really it's really shallow and it doesn't go anywhere and it doesn't talk to you so you need to have simcha now the question is how do you have simcha very simple very simple answer you don't need any big lectures when you help other people and you do for other people and you invite other people you'll have some even if you yourself don't have simcha right now but when you help a person by inviting them to your house or by learning with them schwartz knight you go over in basement and you see someone who's by himself in the back and you sit down next time you start talking to him and when you start learning with him believe me you'll feel so good that you did something for someone else and that's how you have sim because you feel good but when you think about yourself and your family and your situation you can become very dreary and you know the issues of life so that's the answer make a resolution to learn with other people to talk with other people to invite other people and it doesn't have to be in a grandiose way i have 20 you can have one guest one extra guest at a meal and you talk to him or her and there and you see that you see that they need it so you walk away you've done something for someone else you've made someone else feel good you've made someone feel valuable you've given them a purpose that gives you simcha so receive the toyota you want to be with her and you want to receive the titan of the simcha make someone else be simple and you'll have symbol that's number one number two anemias is is the heart of we've been we've been at it for years plenius premiums requires knowing yourself and not allowing yourself to be fooled not to be convinced you're someone else at the same time at the same time the the feeling and attitude i am not adequate i'm not good enough and all of that is the opposite of anemias because that we know we know there's always room to grow so if a person dejects themselves and and and comes down on themselves that's not pathetius some people think oh that's beneath because i know myself and i know my shortcomings so therefore i'm a neb i'm you know i sit in the back and i feel crushed that's depression that's melancholy that's very unhealthy anemias means yes you know yourself and you know the situation at the same time you know that you are created by hashem and you have a message and mission and everyone has that so the story would you share but it's worth mentioning again pfeiffer shire the whistleblower it comes to the the the the iruan the event and all the mockers are there the ceos the knockers the politicians everyone's holding their glass of champagne and they're walking around with their with their cigar and it's it's really happening here and they see this one fellow who's disshuffled and you know they never saw him like what are you doing here how'd you get through the doors how'd you get in and he enjoyed my it's like no one knows who he is he doesn't and he's walking around he also takes the glass puts the cigar in his mouth and he's walking around and he says sir and where are you from what's your name oh yeah what company do you have oh i'm the ceo of the facebook place i'm uh the rabbi of the grand synagogue in jerusalem and everyone you know shows off and it's it's really uh an environment of um of show-offs and he's going around and they see him circular circulating throughout the room finally one guy stops him and says them and who are you so there's two ways i heard the answer the regular way that people say the story the anecdote is i'm shikha pfeiffer i am shaya the whistleblower i'm i don't know anything i have no companies i have no yichos i'm just a little schmecker a little nothing i'm shikha pfeiffer my great uncle had mental footafast he told the story to me and he said you have to answer with i am sheikah pfeiffer in other words his answer to these knockers is you think you guys are great i'm the great one why because i am a whistleblower of my rebbe i am a whistleblower of my god i am a whistleblower of hashem of the torah so i myself am a nobody but i'm everybody and everything and more than all of you knockers because i blow the whistle and horn the two and to the horn of someone or something that's really pure and holy i'm scheifen he doesn't say i'm shy to fight for you know with a bent down head and all broken and i think that these two attitudes is really what we have to ingrain ourselves and our children of family and friends this idea that maybe i myself would have come shus and i take a look how much tighter did i learn this year how much you know botola did i spend with warren taylor and i and it gets very very uncomfortable and i don't want to look in the mirror anymore and i say enough but if you say i'm shaking pfeiffer and my rabbit and my god my tighter and my rabbi and my shoe there's so much tighter and there's so much connection and i'm part of that group and i want to be part of that group you have that you feel good and that's the way to experience a a shruis both by focusing on the mohus the essence of what schwarz is about and and practically there's still a day left right it takes thursday two days uh to to to think about who can use a meal who can use a lachaim who can use just talking it's all right to go over someone's shoe launcher is not in the middle of davening and talk with them if you see that they're you know you know that they need it trust me it's the biggest mitzvah if you take off a half an hour from saying ticking and you speak to a jew who who needs it i tell you that you're you're you're gaining more points you're you're scoring more points it doesn't mean to say you shouldn't make up the ticket that you missed that half hour you should later in the day or you know whatever but the the idea is to to to think about another year because at the end of the day that's what taylor is about and even those that just learned toyota okay no problem so learn tighter with others too you know when i was in when i was in the basement as a 17 18 year old so i i for years i was learning with bakarim who were like weaker than me i got to a point where i said it's time i want to learn you know i want to learn with the with the top ruses so we could excel in learning and all that my principal asked me i should learn with a certain boy who came from europe and and that's what and he said listen you will do that you'll gain more and i listened i had couples sorry i listened although i really didn't want to do that i listened and it was true because when you learn with someone else who's weaker than you you you benefit so even in the world of china learning with another yi doing for another yid is something that is very very powerful so these are just a few ideas as we get ready to receive the taylor akadasha and you all know that schweiz is the the preparation for the next summer months and till tishrei so you have seven tamils of ello four months and they're all decided on schwarz i i always say that each yomtif is is is the is the rosh hashanah for the upcoming months until the next track to the next you know radio so rosh hashanah would cover till schwarz schwarz covers tilt yesterday and this recovers till till pesa so think about it as you know your plans and what you hope to do in the next four months the summer months uh hello it's all so it all should be thought about already in the rosh hashanah you make the plans make the plans you think about this idea and this gives us the ability to um to have the cables would anyone like to say something i didn't um we see that especially in this issue of actually like facing the safer torah yeah um because they don't do that no i don't i've never been in any other okay maybe maybe it's just gonna say in boston i don't know i i've never seen any other group or i'm not aware i'm not aware of any other group that makes an emphasis that everyone should come men women children that's one thing that yes but the first point you said about turning around and facing the balcore you're telling me that's not the way it's done in in in in h claddish and in other schools i i haven't seen i i don't know i have not seen that no um in general there's an indian also you know just speaking from things that i've learned not to have your back to the safer torah um there are some people who are mocked not to stand but you know with their back to the iron kodesh um but yeah but that that that that's not i i'm aware of that and and there is issue to that i i i try to actually keep that as much as possible uh no question about it but we're not that actually can even border on a halal issue i'm not going to go into that right now but but um the idea that when the balcony reads that set of dividends everyone you know rises that everyone does right everyone's standing there yeah i'm saying not just the asiris and every kriya of the torah every other one people there's some people that stand people people stand and people who face to face the bhima yeah yeah yeah but i'm okay that's a recreation of harassing every time you hear the torah is a recreation of arsenal who who does that in boston they do that who does that i'm not saying and everybody in boston as i've heard i've heard this it's my personal practice and i've heard it from others okay i i have seen people stand but uh the rebel you know until he he wasn't feeling well he used to stand and i was raised to stand although i don't do that today because the rebels started to sit down but anyway um and i know people still do that but they don't fast to face the terror but that's uh again if you have that haircut that's beautiful that's great but but but in chabad yes now you know i i didn't research you know is that the way the previous rebel and the river shocked it and i don't know but the the rapper did it he turned around and he looked towards the torah and therefore the hacienda did that too um it's something i'll i'll ask my friends on a chat that we have i'm going to ask about that glad you you bring it up but that that is the way my shirt uh in habachul's is done the second issue as you mentioned yes the rebel is there's no question that he he made a a big deal about it and went along with it and then you know to bring everyone to show and and it's not the minute over here in you know everybody by borough park and backside it's not the medic and um but that's why a lot of them do it in the afternoon with ice cream for the children and may assure him i have a friend in the base joseph schul blocks away from mir right he he and his family and and they make i think they can have a thousand children four in the afternoon in maya showroom and they got a lot of criticism in the beginning it took them a lot of sweat and blood to to push it through and today already no one's criticizing everyone knows there's going to be a beautiful hague in the afternoon after all after you eat and sleep what are you going to do so they come out four or five o'clock and they have ice cream they say suck them and they then they have a minion so but that that is not the meaning of uh of most kahilas no question on any cahill but but again you know the rapper's point is rabbit's point was simple it of course it's it's not obligatory but it's it's a good it's a good thing to hear that seriously so the rabbit didn't say you have to do it you have to you know when you hear something from that sadiq and it's not just the rabbi it doesn't mean you have to do it but they're making us a logic and they're suggesting and because the person is such a taddic it it has value you know uh for example for example the lab blamer parades right so in in in goula there they were up in arms about the raid because it's going to be tarubas even if you have a machita and all that and and they're abundant to the barbecue upon didn't fight the system they worked with them and today they have thousands of children in giulia because they cooperated with the way they want the makitas and i don't know whatever the details are so you have to be sensitive to the community and at the same time when you bring nice things to the community and you work with the community you could you could you can you can do a lot a lot a lot more [Applause] anything else abram do you have any thoughts any questions or comments about anything we learned or spoke about well it's clear i'm just looking forward to uh save the torah okay well you tell me after schwa it's how you receive the torah i i mean yes looking for a little light this year to come down a light light depends if your heart open your heart has to be light and full of light to get light make your heart full of light and you'll get more light light and love zygosent everyone come on we're not going to learn on tuesday mm wednesday's the next year okay take care okay bye bye everybody take care
