good day we're on page 13 in the mimer
on marliby
this is ice dalit i'd like to see if we
can finish this ice this week so we can
start a mimer for rosh hashanah
next week so until
until
i'm sorry
you said something wrong it says the
name
the the name of the mimer begins with
right on page eight the mimer
what you read before leo is now that's
just a tight a date
what's the actual verse that the mimer
do you have that avi or not
now his power went out something is not
right in your area
anyway let's continue ice balance
my my power just went off for a second
came back on so there's something
obviously going on who else had lost
power
uh yoni yoni was on before you guys came
on and he disappeared
and he wrote to me they lost power now i
see avi and it says
it says now on my phone it says backup
so
whatever it is but but it's not it's not
it's not on my end it's not on my end
okay
let's learn and and we'll just we'll
just see how we go
yeah the ice ballet
so we learned we hope to come to a
belief
so though we learned before about the
the virtue the the difference between
the usage of seijo only intellect and
the usage of the middles and the
seiko within the middles and we
elaborated on it
and uh a listener or someone who who
follows the shiorim on facebook or
youtube wrote to me how to reconcile
this with
something that he's been learning in a
cipher called orally israel
um he heard me emphasize with an
ebycesia to
repetitive right repetitive meditation
we learned that and the rebbe said it
should be
so i'll answer his question online now
he says that uh what's the difference
between that and what this uh the aureus
role i think arya swallows for an
episode
valetnik i believe so i believe that
there he's talking about the deborah
repetition
the deeper what the rabbit the fried
crab is talking about
is repetition but
so it's a very if that's the k if
if that's if if i'm my understanding of
what the
early israel writes it's a it's a major
difference
it's not just saying words it's
thought thinking repetition repetitive
thinking
okay that's very different than
repetitive saying words
let's continue ice dalit
zelda and this is the what's written of
your title
you should know today
and you should make your heart be
attentive
there is a commandment hashem is
commanding us
he's not telling us moshe you may
be attentive this is sifu it's a command
you shall make your heart be attentive
seemingly this type of command is not
understood
lo
[Music]
why do we need the heart to be
attentive um why is it not
adequate hayadea bilvad
the knowledge itself right let's look at
the let's look at the possible there's
two cl there's two
segments to the possible one via dai to
hyun
you shall know today which means no your
dear
knowledge and number two it says
you should make your heart be attentive
so the rebels question
and and and so the rebels says that the
second clause was
is not if you'd like to make your heart
attentive do so and if not don't do so
but rather it's succeed it's a command
you shall
make your heart attentive so his
question is
why is that necessary if i have the
knowledge of hashem the odaito
hayoim that should be adequate that's
his that's his question
and he answers one second he's still in
the middle of his question
he strengthens this question based on
what we've been learning in the mimer
since the mechanism of of
seiko amidos of intellect and emotions
is one
that's ilava olu cause an effect
so as soon as you have a cause that's
proper you have an effect
so as soon as i have your dm moshe i
have the knowledge
that knowledge is going to bring a
feeling
his question now he gives the answer
ella
begins his answer hello
the reason is shall middle shepherd live
this proves to us on the contrary that
the actual midosioni in the heart
england boys but their mailer it's not
like
luxian and chicken soup where when you
pick up the spoon to eat the chicken
soup you get the luxury with it
it don't work that way here you have to
create the luxury meaning
here to have a feeling in the heart
it doesn't come by osmosis and and
everyone we all know
we can understand something we do
understand things
and the the gap between understanding
and feeling is night and day night and
day
plenty of people are deep thinkers
and they're such cold fishes and people
and they're they're people who are
shallow thinkers and their heart is warm
as
a as a radiator during the winter
okay keem
that's why avi the torah says the posix
says
make your heart be attentive
you have to engage in an activity
called
and that takes work as we began
discussing yesterday at the end of this
year
that the light the energy of the
intellectual ignite should illuminate
the middles the emotions leo
in other words to bring segal
from the place of sacral for it to
impact the leadership that live and not
just to impact them to inspire them
to illuminate them that's a lot of work
that's what we mean hillel this is the
answer to what i asked you at the end of
this year
this is what the rebbe means
and why it takes specifically the
hashtag
it's an activity it doesn't come by
osmosis
it doesn't come by automatic yes so so
so
yesterday if you remember we spoke about
his spy locally in addition
we spent a lot of time on the uh the the
emotion the emotions within the
intellect or the intellectual
emotionalism
right that is or
is the idea and i gave the example
which is brought to hasidis focusing on
hashem
from david miller from the hilum i think
i in dallas
kirba said kim lito if you have elokim
the closeness of god and finally
lee tov the closest of god is good for
me it's three separate ideas
when you understand eloquem hashem
what fought one second hillary what
follows is
kirwa kim or riku
close or distant but that's within the
mind
so that is an expected result
but the third stage of lito flea means
i want it it's not just an idea
you understand so in other words plenty
of people get excited
up in their cup up here in their brain
they get excited
but when it but but but that excitement
does not translate itself to an actual
emotion in the heart
for that you have to have a voiceover
yes hello
i just wanted to clarify that you were
saying that they were sort of stages
related to each other and i think they
are
yes right but but but it's not automatic
it's not that
if you have ello kim you're going to
have kier vasilo kim and if you have
kevin cello kim
you're going to have lee
right no the first two of if you really
understand the looking you're going to
have
an intellectual cure that comes as a
result
or other times a distant an awesomeness
i i'm frightened by by god i want to you
know be respectful and stay away right
but but but to the point where you feel
it in your heart
that's a whole different a whole
different category and experience
and that's what this is a very important
point because this
this this is real in our lives
people you know you sometimes listen and
listen and listen
and you say but why isn't there
a media in the heart i understand that
i i see but it because there's missing
the
hashes the focus
and concentration i.e the attentiveness
of the heart so so what does it mean to
make your heart attentive to bang
to bang harder when you say no
to cry more when you say when you
recognize what you've done wrong
no to hug someone more
no those are all nice by-products
of the hashi voice but
is a focus in concentration kind of
the heart intellectualizes how does that
sound
the heart or better said the heart
experiences
the hard experiences
then when the heart experiences
it's it's sweet it really is sweet and
delicious
and the line let me say this too
the linavi between
a real heartfelt media
and a false heartfelt media is very thin
the division is very very um
refined we could convince ourselves
and fool ourselves thinking we have
a real leadership heart in our heart
and then as soon as something doesn't go
our way in that
in that realm
where where's the media what happened
i thought you you loved i thought you
fear i thought you have mercy
why does it go out the window when
there's a blockage that comes there
that shows that it's not yet a medivh in
the most
in the best way in the purest way it's
still not
you in the heart yes motion
can i ask you to give forgive the
question can i ask you to give sort of
like a practical
example i i can't right now i have to
think about it let me think about it
over
over the day and tomorrow with hashem's
help
i'll see if i can come up with an
example
is that a fair answer
okay
i don't know if this is an uh an example
for a middle shepherd lev it's more
i'm going to tell you now and i've told
you this but i'll repeat it
is an example for myself for action you
see
what you only asked last week you know
and i
and i as i explained there's a
difference between myself action
and a mediev
leads to a mice so maybe the realm of
action is the um
the proof whether it's an actual
heartfelt media or an intellectual media
marin county 1986 87 88.
my father-in-law comes from australia
with his wife to
be there for a few days can someone take
off mute your thing please
and hello could you mute yourself please
so
um it's
heir of your arab circus we all finished
davening
chakras and everyone's going home and
my father happens to speak to one of the
balabata when he mentions to him
he didn't put up a sukkah yet and
tonight suckers
okay we all heard it kind of
but you know everyone went their way
i offered my father a ride home and he
said no i'll i'll just walk home i'll
get home
i want to still be here he came home a
few hours later two three hours later
and we asked him where he was we were
surprised he says
i helped put up the sukkah to a person
who didn't have a sukkah who was this
person
he overheard he overheard that he didn't
have a sukkah
so he went and put up a sukkah for him
so that's
you know that's a a a a a bottom line
result between knowing right we all know
it suckers tonight
yes everyone sure who heard it knew it
took us tonight
did we understand that there's someone
in shul that doesn't have a sukkot yet
yes so why didn't we
offer to help him build our sukkah
because we didn't have a medivh
we didn't have a feeling in the heart
that this
is of of real obvious role
we had a lip service officer's role we
have a checkbook
ava but
to go and strain your body if you're
able to and you don't get sick and you
can carry and lift and all that
and put aside your spiritual needs
that's a meet the shepherd lev that's a
meat of avas israel in the heart
not just in the cup so maybe that's an
example
moishe for the difference of a middle
that's within the head the intellect
and a media that's in the actual heart
and i meet the sheba lev one second
amida sheba lev
once you have it it schleps you
it pulls you kind of you're out of
control
because the emotion has become part of
you
that without the emotion it's like
you're missing
you're missing food sleep
air you're missing air we all know
you've heard you know and i could tell
you because i experienced it firsthand
with the cove it was hard to breathe at
times
that's very real that's not head it's
it's physical so could you imagine
someone who's not able to do
avas israel is mis feels like he's
missing air
and that's exactly what avraham avinu
felt on the third day after he was
circumcised
why would avraham avinu on the third day
after he circumcised when he's in most
pain stand outside his tent
to look for passive buyers to invite
them in to have a meal and mind you
who were the people walking there it
wasn't bibi netanyahu or the laboratory
it was low-life arabs right and whatever
okay not low life
arab sorry take that back
and and he says come in i want you come
in here come here come here
what why the answer is avrom had more
pain moisture
from not doing agnosis or
to to a person not to a jew to a person
than he had from the physical wound on
his body
now do you understand what a medieval is
and when you think about this and you
say you know
do i do it my wife told me you know that
we have a
um a place in borough park it's actually
all over brooklyn and new york whatever
called mazbia like a food a food kitchen
you know
and it's become i i know the owner you
know you know
he's a go-getter and a hustler and he's
really he created a
probably a multi-million dollar uh
project
so because the corona has been closed
so there's a a rabbi here rabbi balcony
who's married to a rabashkin who has
opened up his
table friday night in shabbos to
everyone
anyone that wants a borough park or not
only for whoever
wants to come from a meal
come please so he's become there must be
a kitchen
his wife this past week was with her
mother who was canadian out of 90 mrs
rabach in the catskills
so his daughter who's ashleekhus in
bucks county pennsylvania
married to rabbi weinstein who was a
guest speaker at the kindest
look a year or two ago came specially
with all of her kids to be for shabbos
to help her father make shabbas to feed
the people do you understand what's
going on over here
do you understand what means when you
look at that you say to yourself
i'm doing nothing okay or the other
example
rabbi gruman rabbi gruman
of los angeles he was the rabbi for a
while of the young israel
on melrose avenue and rabbi gruman
i was told i didn't know this at the
time
any and all people who were a little
different and people didn't really
appreciate them at their shabbos table
were found at rabbit grumman's table
they had a place to eat
so when you talk about a media ship alev
you know
it's it's a whole different realm and
and and and listen
each one of us you know can have that
leadership beloved in another area not
saying it has to be only
him or only now a person at the same
time
needs to recognize their weakness and
shortcoming and
and you know and if you're not this may
if you're not
made of material to handle 20 30 people
at your table who are going to drive you
nuts
and and etc and you're going to get
nervous and you're going to get
angry and that that's not your mitzvah
because you can't do it
it's you know try try another lifetime
next time around you maybe have another
summer
and you'll be more successful but find
another area
yes yoni you wanted to say something
an example that you used about your
share right yes
you know everybody knew everybody knew
that this guy needed to have a
put up and nobody you know did anything
about it
and say that it's kind of like uh you
know the slogan as they say putting your
money where your mouth is
you know a lot of people they'll say you
know they'll say okay i want to buy you
know
ten thousand dollars right and they want
to hear
you know their name being called up but
when it's time to actually you know take
out the checkbook and write it out it's
not so simple it's not so easy
in a case like this is your
father-in-law you know he could have
gone home like everybody else but
he put his money where his mouth is and
he instituted
what was in his heart yes and what i'm
adding the the
the the detail the nuance is that
his success
if another yi that he knows about
doesn't have a suku
he can't he can't he won't he wouldn't
be able to sit at a sukkah knowing
that there's another year that he could
have helped to put up a sukkah
and because he did not participate
and make it happen you understand so
that's why i gave you the example of
avraham avinu
you know it was painful far from don't
think standing out there in the heat
you guys are experiencing now the heat
that i've rum experienced
okay 100 degrees outside and he's
standing outside and there's no fan and
there's definitely no air conditioning
and he has no tent he's standing over
there
right because he wants to see well you
know
so i i i just gave this all i want to
continue now
because moshe asked me as an example i
hope most of some of this was helpful to
you
let's continue yeah he says
the last line on page
[Music]
preparing your soul for the arousal
the awakening of the heart in the two
aspects
next page fourteen highest bond in this
number one hillel
lengthy lengthening
the time for meditation and number two
again the meditation is the intellectual
idea of thought and then making your
heart the attentive
of
but when there is no preparation of the
soul
to arouse the heart yoholya should
destroy this pilot
it could be avi you're innocent that it
remains
in the mind right kirvas
elokim i want to be close to god
no closeness to god is good sorry not i
want to be
closest to god is good it's delicious
but it's not for me it's for you you
follow it's for you
it's a spy loss motion it's a spy loss
it's hispalute it's emotionalism but
where is it
in the cup up here it never reaches
the heart let's continue
hello rob how are we doing my maesha
welcome everyone let's say at big
yoshikaya
for tomosha that he's with us and he
should only have
simchris and good health and mashiach
now let's continue
second line paper second line motion
page 14.
even after one meditates in detail
and an expansion and delves deeply into
the topic
mccoy
the light might the light the energy the
inspiration
the intellectual inspiration will not
illuminate the heart
the pneumous in an inner way in a deep
way
came
and so too the the emotionalism
that there is in the brain is only in
the brain
make the preparation the soul
preparation
of a meditation and be
concentration of the heart he needs
now he's getting to some practical stuff
when is the time for this
you guys there ever says the time for
this
is during davening
he quotes from tanya in other places
that this
is the right time it's a this ghoul of
time you know everyone's into segulas
today
well the rebbe brings what it says in
the holy swarm
that the time that's right
to succeed in his bonanus
voice is during davening that's it
it's not when you're home with your
family it's when you dive in
if you're diving at home it's during the
darvani time davening
is the time he says it's mizugo you see
the language
to have success while you're daving
to that that your heart be aroused
who are you today you know this is not
gonna let you get off the hook
you gotta do something else before that
you're innocent what do you have to do
there requires to be a frustration
before governing you have to make a
husband
you know what we're talking about guys
we're talking about
krishna amita the night before
remember the famous saying
who do the son of thamus says right
gibra khari be as strong as a lion
to serve your master in the morning get
up with a roar
i see them say you can only get up with
a roar like a lion if you go to sleep
like a lion
if you go to sleep like a horse a
slumbering horse you're gonna get up
like a slumbering horse you ain't
getting up
like a lion it ain't gonna happen
i don't care how many pills you take and
how many drinks you take
you are not getting up like a lion but
mela
the night before is actually crucial
for the way we wake up in the morning
and i just want to for a moment before i
take your
point hillel
you know at night we're tired we all
know that
and we tend to fall asleep be it on the
couch or on your bed
you know sooner or later the eyes close
when i was in yeshiva this was also an
issue that i
had and i wanted to say shma and it was
sometimes difficult because i was
asleep so i asked the maship if i could
say
my krishna right after my roof and he
told me yes
because i dive in my office i was awake
so right after my riff i would sit down
i would say shema and i share that with
you
if you're finding that you aren't able
to a literally say this
not every night once a week once a month
but a real husband
then do it after my riff even if you're
going to
you know or still check the news or talk
to the wife and talk to the kids
and and be another two hours until you
actually get into bed
you've said krishna again the best way
is
to say the krishna and make the husband
before you actually
go into bed but if you know that you'll
never get there then do it at a time
when you could get there
and what is this has been what is a
husband
a husband is like we say in good
old-fashioned business
what did i what did i spend today did i
make a profit how much of a profit where
did the profit come from where did the
loss come from
it's uncomfortable looking at a loss
but you have to if you're a good
businessman so you don't repeat the
mistake again
that's the way you're supposed to make a
hajj bananefish
hilo what do you want to say
no it was just that it was a joke the
moment has passed
okay i'm sorry that i broke the uh the
the train of thought
okay hila i'm sure you will come up with
another joke
i'm convinced i know you okay
it's good to have people out there
okay let's continue so so avi so the
rapper says
you need to have the mourinho
listen to this one is
asking yourself what is the purpose why
hashem put me on earth
that is part of a husband why did hashem
put me here moshe
that's one general thought to be
included
in the krishna shalhamita
number two vegemite
more specifically in detail in your
let me look at my thinking let me look
at my feelings let look at my behavior
that's already going into details
i realize they're immersed they're sunk
and immersed
only in worldly matters it's like
yesterday
i said to myself i said i gotta put my
phone away
i'm addicted to this silly phone and i'm
holding it
and looking at it the whole time put it
away
break the pattern
and then there is just thinking about
all of life's issues important ones but
you are shakua you are shakua
listen to this language you are shakua
and tavua
which means you're immersed and sunk you
know when someone sinks
and the water gets up to the neck
boy do you get nervous and scared
and you start calling sos
help in your neolibe
worldly manners is schlepping you
and making you sink and the worldly
matters
all of the worldly matters is drowning
you
the whole cake does not show you all of
your
soul powers
be they the encompassing of
pleasure and willpower
you dedicate them all but rocklin you're
on the island for worldly matters
so this the rebbe says is a second
thought when you make a hedgehog
in other words he's not saying it he's
saying it shouldn't be this way
but he's saying that when you make a
judgment many times
this is the reality and you need to make
that judgment yes
um the uh is the implication of
what he's saying here is that the cocos
are like inequalities what
how they express them i didn't hear
they're what
i don't hear that word what word
they are inner yeah no because
no oil and watson
okay right so uh
so so explain the relationship between
coco sun nephesh
and lafuje on that bed oh boy
[Music]
no no no no no no not that i ca i can't
explain it just it's not the place it's
not here but i'll tell you briefly this
is tanya
chapter three and four what you're
asking basically
is who you are you know your your
intellect and your middles and and your
heart right that's
what defines you the the the
that's why that's why i said so so why
is he emphasizing the
cocos no he's saying everything
he's saying everything are even more
transcendental
yeah so you had curses hillary clinton
fish consists of
him which are pleasure and will
and will and will and caucus premium
that's what he says those are all those
are all part of clickers and fish
then you have levushyan efforts the
instruments
the tools how you implement right let's
continue
so i want you to follow so this was a
second
medic thought meditation a second a
second
idea for what you need to do when you
make a sajban a nephesh
here comes point number three
the third thing to think about is i'm so
sick i don't even
feel how bad the situation is
you know it's i i don't even feel how
bad it is and i'm so immersed that i
don't even realize how immersed i
am in in worldly matters that's how
i'm what's the word that not though um
i'm um
like you don't feel the pain
um
surely you're not anxious and you're not
worried about it
then you know and you don't care
you don't care and yes
[Music]
the issue that he's so involved in
worldly matters don't
doesn't touch him means touch
the bahamas
in addition to the inner aspects
and the lacking of you not recognizing
why you were sent here who
and both what the world is missing
you were sent there for a mission and a
purpose meaning
that the world needs to benefit from you
in a certain way and by you not doing it
not only are you missing out on your
purpose
but the world at large is missing out at
its purpose because they're waiting for
you
to bring something to the world
the fact that he's so immersed and sunk
in worldly matters
they know in a gallery and it doesn't
bother him
he named me should someone who is a
badass
who has intelligence sort of losses by
saying his godela
he has to make on a great arousal
village
and break the heart the hardness
the harshness of his heart
the asmr smile mayor bernaffie and his
soul should be
frustrated i'll close my mother in my
suffering
and the situation i don't like it i
don't want to be here
it's not good it's not a good place to
be in
and i have to do something to get out of
this rut
that's what we're talking about here and
this is all part
of the hezbollah nephesh that you're
supposed to make
krishna so that you can get up like a
lion not like a horse
and through this meriditos this
frustration
you actually plow the ground
level we're talking about the the the
heart being the ground the earth the now
and this prepares your soul by voiding
during the service of the heart but feel
it during darkening
lessons besides
that you will feel an inspiration and
your heart will be moved to an actual
emotion and the rapper says the
jose will gone and we're going to stop
here because now he's going to go to
haiti
which that's why i wanted to learn this
mimer during this month
all of what i said now the rebel says
applies
to the entire year
so you can imagine what he's going to
say about ello but we'll leave it for
tomorrow
my friends my friends we have our work
cut out for us
when you learn to see this and you and
you take it a little seriously
you realize we have a lot to do
we have a lot a lot to do and it
you know like they used to say in camp
in the barbecue camp got camp gangnam
in my days we had learning classes and
at the end they would say
make an announcement on the pa system
learning never ends
learning never ends hasidis never ends
avoid the never ends if anyone tells you
they are complete and they've done it
already
and it's already why do i have to do it
again
boy are they making a big mistake
no retirement there's no retirement
there's no retiring it's only the
beginning and if you go with that
attitude you'll be happy
you'll be fresh and you'll be gesunder
[Music]
bye
