age
32 where learning Panic at Bays chapter
12 and Tanya and we're about seven lines
down from the beginning the last word on
the line which starts with the village
and yesterday we we learned these uh
this famous line of the altered but that
the
State of Mind of abandon he is
he never did a sin and he never will do
a sin and we spoke a lot about it so we
will continue
therefore this individual called obeying
is not called we don't place the name of
wicked of Russia upon him
even for just one hour
and
one minute call yamuff all of his days
and but again
could he have been a Russia before
absolutely could it be in Russia
tomorrow absolutely but the way he is
now if he were to remain this way
you would say this is a pain in the knee
and you would never apply the name
Russia to him even for just one moment
ah so that's the case what makes him
different than exotic says
where he starts however however the
reason he's not exotic because
the very Core Essence
of the necessary kiss Shaheen
which refers to the ten levels that does
the 10 levels Lila Han levadon
Katana they do not have
they don't have the only jurisdiction
and dominion over the the small City
that means the body they are not the
only player in town
Kim when are they the only player in
Serbia name at certain times when Kimani
for example
at the time when you're saying
we are informed here in the name of
Kabbalah that during the time of Krishna
and trilogram it's something called the
time of superior supernal supernal
intellect lamayla in heaven
in in in in in God's
heaven in God's uh you know world it's a
time when there's extra Heavenly uh
intellect well I'll explain a moment and
therefore the gamla Mata so too below
when we say Shema when every one of us
said this morning and David
it is the appropriate time it's the
right time the whole of them for every
human being when he doubles this morning
at that time
he binds his
wisdom understanding and knowledge Allah
Hashem to God the Hamid dietary to delve
deeply into God big deal
to delve deeply into Understanding God's
greatness and awesomeness
and through the intellectual
understanding on a very high level of
God eluated it awakens and so I have of
the love could each be ace like a
burning fire but Allah your money in the
right Pentacles I believe you have the
person's heart and therefore the person
the dust the boy he wants to grab God he
wants to cleave to God became a Mateo Mr
cell sustaining title and keeping tato
Mistress Me Ava not from Europe but from
Love in other words when you're turned
on intellectually and you understand
with your cup how this is awesome God is
awesome and God is great and and and and
anything like that
you you you you you love him you want
him that's what he says here when does
that take place when does that take
place
specifically during Shema and monastery
and he adds one more line to selling and
I'm a voicemail this is the concept
explained regarding Shema The Horizon
which was biblical Uber and the
blessings preceding Shema and so for now
the preceding blessings a blessing after
which are only rabbinic nevertheless
they are a preparation even though
they're only rabbinic but the purpose of
the preceding blessing and blessings
plural and the blessing after Israel is
to to sustain their the the the Shema
whatever you you're supposed to
accomplishment it needs kind of support
it's like the custom going to the hopa
needs to have an interfere someone to
carry him because he's he's his feet are
trembling is going under the hoop he's
getting married he's leaving the state
of being single and independent and all
of a sudden he has to answer to a wife
and all of that so he might want to just
run away okay so you have someone who
holds them under called the interfere
Captain hookah and stay there and I
actually saw it once in a hopper where
hustle wanted to run away I saw it I was
there
there was a good interfering a good
Rabbi and and they spoke to him in front
of my eyes and he stayed you know some
call it a panic attack whatever I'm not
going into all that whatever whatever
the cause is but the point is here you
are at Shema you think Shema such a
simple thing
on one hand yeah I love God but you
really want to be with God you know if
you're if it's like
insert you want to live in the Boston
arabi's house you considered a Masada
are you ready and I'm sure you you
but they would say
when will be the time when the rebel
will take his his face off me and not
see my excuse me piggish face in Hebrew
sleeping
exactly okay but the point is
that when you talk about an intimate
relationship coming from with Hashem
during Krishna the potential for such
and during
you need the breakfast from Krishna
before and the brother after to kind of
keep you there and and and hey it's good
it's good don't worry don't get scared I
remember
when the rebels giving out dollars in
the 80s the 70s he gave out dollars to
US we were called tonkistan we would go
on the Mitzvah mobiles out to Manhattan
into Brooklyn and and and and and the
red bird coined the phrase that these
are tanks against assimilation to fight
the assimilation of the Jewish people to
stop assimilation so he used the frey
tanks so we the ones who went on the
tanks to put on thrilling and give out
paraphernalia and talk to you about
either Skype we will call tankis
tankisten the tank is really thank you
so that was in the 70s so the red by the
end of many fabrangians during the week
he would give out dollars to distribute
to people for sadaka and who would he
give it to he couldn't give it to
everyone will take hours he he said he's
giving it to the tongue kissed into US
tankers since we're taking a lead role
in in this Outreach effort and we will
be the schluchim to to distribute the
dollars to everyone else that was in the
1970s in Bal Hashem I married at that
and I have quite a few dollars from that
time still
the 80s during the fabrangians he
started
you started you know giving out dollars
then when as he was getting older
it and you know it was slowing down
outwardly you could see yeah I was
slowing down a little bit so there was
a big debate
should you go to get a dollar from the
red bus or do not another from 1986 to
1992 he those uh six years right he gave
out dollars every Sunday so there was a
debate amongst the hasidim should you
push yourself every single week to get a
dollar I got a dollar last week I live
in borrow background it's Flatbush it's
a it's a car ride it's Sunday there's no
traffic you can park and and get in and
okay you wait a little bit you get your
dollar
so why should I make the rubber you know
stand on his feet more and things like
that and there's always a debate and
some of the casino felt why do you want
to show your dirty face to the record
every single week
other has said them argued no if you're
not if if you're not gonna show him your
dirty face you know spiritually speaking
who else are you going to show it to
your wife
only at Sadi karega can can help you get
out of your rut
so yes you unfortunately you're coming
there with you know you're not you know
you've done this you've done that you
need Improvement in this area in that
area so you go to that Sadiq asking to
give you assistance to schlep you out of
your of your of your stuff
and that was always the debate why am I
saying this I'm saying this over because
we're learning here about the British
Krishna
being
necessary for the experience of Shema
you have to ask yourself a question
every day is domination why do we need
breakfast
the answer is but simply not the way it
says here and Tanya
why don't we speak about the Angels
because the angels are our spiritual
forefathers
so we say look at the way the Angels
serve God one group of angels bows to
God one group of angels screams one
group of Angels in other words they all
impacted in different ways now they're
angels and they are so impacted by
Hashem with such awe we who are souls
the shamas and souls are greater than
angels and Hashem is greater than a
malach because limited
one one Mission at a time that's why the
model who came to turn over sudaim
couldn't do this another mission at the
same time sorry chap
this is my job
God says you're limited if I give you a
job to turn over sedon you cannot save
light
save our room
save light sorry right you can't that's
another I have to send another messenger
foreign
can do two missions at one time
at one time I'll ask how is it possible
right and it's a good question the
answer is because you're in the show and
the shama's League rule is infinite
we're talking about compared to compared
to an angel an angel is finite compared
to an IM so as great as angels are we
speak about the malahim and people put
on their pins from for angels and all
that stuff you should know it's all
Limited
and what does it saying to Holy day
God took us out of Egypt he alone why
what's wrong with sending a messenger
because a messenger is limited
so when we say when we say the blessings
of Krishna and the morning we're saying
that although Angel is limited but look
at how an angel
is so committed to Hashem is so impacted
burning up for God screaming for God
moving from God whatever being silent
for God whatever the other is the
services
so that's an angel we who are davening
in the morning that we have in the
summer how much more so we should be
inspired that's the simple reason for
saying because Krishna
the alternator says another point that
although that's true that's that's true
that smile in a way needs Krishna in
other words the simple interpretation of
the blessings of Krishna it doesn't
equal that the reason you say the
blessings of Christmas needs it no smart
doesn't need a Shema is independent
as well why because if not your love for
God would be limited
you know too much love is unhealthy
I know I I know that sounds like uh yeah
there has to be
just for a second and aside the whole
idea of abstinence for the two-week
period through the menstrual period is
in my humble opinion I would think you
guys understand this as well is the
greatest is the greatest psychology
relax take it easy take a break
too much of too much of good is no good
you need a break
and it's fine and the same tools in the
relationship a husband a wife you need
sometimes a break and it doesn't mean
you don't love your wife but she doesn't
love you and then you need a break and
with kids it's not week too you need to
give people space
so
here we are every morning saying shmap
and we're supposed to say I'm gonna give
myself think about God's unity and then
be your hosta the objective is for love
will have to you shall love a
commandment
that's a very very it's intense it's
very intense
so one needs the blessings before and
after to support and keep that drive
going
that's what the outlets do here it
doesn't say it clearly but he alludes to
it in these few lines let's go back to
the text
and during that time during Shema the
bed was in the left ventricle cover of a
buffalo tape is subjugated and unknown
to the good have especially money which
extends itself into the right ventricle
mechabad Chev coming from the wisdom the
Chabad within the mind
that's bound with the greatness of God
so just for a moment because
the 10 attributes of every person's
nishama that has tools and instruments
and and faculties the word is faculties
Chabad is the the the the part of the
faculties that identify with God's
greatness do the same self through
meditation
so so if someone says
I experienced God through through other
that's a certain subjective God which
can be experienced but it's a subjective
one
when you remove yourself from the
subjective self and you allow the mind
and even though it's your mind
to
to form the relationship then it's more
objective it's it the love then will be
more com more correct because the mind
tells you is this good or not and I'll
prove to you why it is good or not and
therefore this should be done this
shouldn't be done so then
when that filters into the heart and it
and it gives you a feeling the feeling
is less objective and more objective and
hence more of a correct love
so if if someone just goes with love
towards
whatever they want to do and it happens
to be unhealthy the love element alone
could lead to that mistake and and that
situation whereas
if it's Guided by being a Das it's less
subjective and more objective yes my
just maybe give us an example
the Practical example with the concept
he just said well an infatuation
a guy and a girl there you know they go
into a relationship because one is
infatuated with the other and they
develop this emotional strain and and
and
can be disastrous
because it you know there wasn't and and
okay even if we don't speak about an
infatuation but this idea of
practically invading today especially
for the young people that are dating and
meeting people
there needs to be a distance that's why
the whole idea of the gear they make
this whole issue of
course again the Chabad approaches of
course but not because it says
a girl we know you know how to touch her
that's not the point it's
unhealthy for you psychologically to
begin your relationship through touching
the girl because then you're really
emotionally bound you're excuse the
expression you're in bed already so
what's the difference it's a matter of
time
it goes from touching to kissing to
hugging to kissing and standing up in
bed no you don't need and you don't even
know if you want to be with her the rest
of your life
so so many negia is of course luckily
it's forbidden and all that man I'm not
talking about that we're talking about
the idea that the it it it it it it it
it causes the emotions to overtake the
Mind whereas my shirt
if you date and you meet and you and you
and you're distant you stay back and you
have to do things to create that
distance
because it's very easy if you like a guy
or a girl or you like a girl and all
that it's very easy to allow your
emotions to flow
even without alcohol
then as you develop so so so the first
few times or more in the first few times
whatever it takes depending on the
people they use their cup
they use their mind
and they hold back
and they do things to hold back
I I'm I'll give you you asked for a
concrete example I'll just give you you
know I'm a man with a white beard today
but looking back for um
45 years or whatever I was dating and
going out I remember
so when I had a car
so it had a car the question was okay
I'm driving and and the girls next to me
you know
so when I'm driving I'm concentrating on
the road what if I'm in a taxi
nope
so the back is one seat there's a girl
and a guy you know these were issues
that I thought about
not not that there was anything
forbidden but I I didn't want to begin
my relationship with that emotional
charge right away
I want to begin it with the cup
the head
this way you're able to discern
once once you you
understand the situation and you come to
a conclusion that this is the right
situation for you then you need to
feel it in the heart and like the rabbit
told me if the three dates I met my wife
I wrote to the rebound I said I have I
met someone very nice
and it's a good but I don't feel any
different than hanging out with my
boyfriends
and I was told that when you're going to
get married you're supposed to feel
different about you understand I never
met a girl before I never I never dated
a woman my first time that I met a woman
in a date situation
so I asked the rep what should I do you
know the rabbit told me first of all did
I answered you have you like that
he took the time to answer this this
young man zero bucker 770 guy you know
who's elsewhere learning cities and
davening and hang out with Abdul Khan
and and doing them and the Bible gets a
letter from him and he says I'll I'll
have a little mercy on you I'll give you
guidance young man young husband
and the rep and the rapper said to me
continue going out
the episode
means to interest yourself
what did I understand for that first of
all I understood right away that
basically the rebel wants me to marry
this girl
okay
but I don't have yet those
additional feelings that I'm with a girl
versus with my guys when we hang out
when we fabric together so the represent
the Hampshire go out again
and go out another time
and that should evoke it
and guess what it evoked it a little bit
I didn't go in with heart palpitations
you know I'm in love and things like
that no I didn't
Hashem and everything was fine I'm just
saying
first person you dated the first person
yes the first person because I was
focused I had already a job waiting for
me Marine County to be the Chabad rabbi
I had a job
when I was out there in 1983
in the summer
Rabbi Langer of Berkeley was talking to
Rabbi schwartzler Schwartz of Westwood
of UCLA
and he said you know there's a group of
people that would like to start a Chabad
shul in the Chabad house and they need
the rabbi so
so he said I happened to walk in to the
office the schlemish Watcher's office
741 Gailey in UCLA where the first
Cabanas was
when he was talking to Langer
so I remember like today he took the
they took the receiver away from his
head from his ear
and we knew each other he says dolphin
you want to go help some Jews
and I said sure
so he says Winder I got someone for you
this was to to to lead a Rosh Hashanah
and you know keep a service for them he
says Wagner don't worry I just found you
a guy
so I said shlima where am I going he
says I'll tell you where to go you're up
in the northern California somewhere
because we were in L.A these it's
exactly what happened and the rest is
history I went there took a younger
Booker as a kind of Canter I played
Rabbi he played Canter and we had a
wonderful time and then he asked me to
come back so
so I said to them
I'll come back I like you guys you guys
like me and you know
but
I have no problem I'm not married I'm
not coming here as a single guy it ain't
you know it doesn't work that way I need
a wife
so they said yeah so why don't you go
back and get married
I said fine but I also need someone to
support us
I don't you know we're coming out this
they said fine we are going to raise
funds enough for you guys to come and
rent the house and have a place to dive
in and do exit and you will take care of
that and you take care of finding a wife
that's the way that's exactly I'm not
telling you mice is
and that's how we ended up there
but all I'm single is
I I remember the conversation I was
talking from the pay phone in her
daughter which is on Eastern park with
your 770. it's about two of the yeshivas
I used to learn this because it was
quiet and I used to have you been able
to learn quietly over there and I
remember talking to them and making this
condition you you put together some
funds and I'm gonna go find a wife so
when I came to my wife I said look and I
sent me right from the beginning
if you don't want to go on sleep because
even before we met they said I have
nothing to meet you
I mean I know exactly what I need to do
and if you're willing to go with me to
California as as
you know to do the rabbit's work we can
we could talk and she said fine
and I tell this to my my kids and my
girls and others they look at me like I
I've come for the Moon
today they look at my tablet what do you
mean is this a sales job is this a
business
well it worked for me it worked 40 years
ago why can't it work if you know
exactly what you need to do now be clear
if you go into something you're not
clear you're mixed up then then it's
about a gun
so let's go back so the rabbit told me
in continue interestingness interest
yourself mean to say is you already have
a position
you know what you need to do now you
need to develop some feelings so work on
that and I did we went out so then
instead of three hours six hours I
remember exactly where we went and I
remember the conversations and I I I
used the rebels message to me to to
develop that and you know I think and it
was and I think it was accomplished it
wasn't easy
but it was accomplished because I stayed
focused to his words
so my job was lihasanian to interest now
interest isn't a one-way job if I
introduced myself in her and she does
teach yourself with me it ain't going
anywhere
but all I'm saying is that the
copy what we're learning and Tanya here
it has to begin with a Chabad
with a distance with a with a relaxed
think you know
again overthinking too much thinking is
is the rep is saying no at the end of
the day you have to have a feeling in
the heart some feeling
you don't have to have the heart
palpitations of love but you're with a
with a woman who's going to be your wife
not just being with a guy with a you
know in the sense of your friends
it needs support
what's the support
the intellectualism that precedes the
kishma which which which is through the
bishasma
I think that's a very important point
that we need to add as we meditate to
think about David when we dive in
that when we talk about the angels and
sometimes you say why am I talking about
angels who cares about angels what does
that have to do with me
the answer is the whole avoid of angels
is to to to to to to show us that
sometimes they're in love of God
sometimes they burn for God sometimes
they shackle for God in other words and
why because sometimes they're meditating
how God is close sometimes they're
meditating how God is awesome so
depending on the feelings of meditation
that's the way they feel and that's the
ways one group burns up for him another
group is silent another group is
verashed through Khalil but that all
comes as a result of the Seiko the
meditation
any questions
okay so but I I had a tangential comment
when you were mentioning the tank system
yeah
but I was at a bar mitzvah once the
friends of ours who are Lubavitch and
somehow somebody was speaking about
sivas Hashem
and there was a question when the Reddit
started see what's Hashem
somebody said you know it's so
militaristic and you know it's it's we
want to encourage peace in the world why
why are you giving it this military-like
flavor yeah and the rabbit said in this
generation there's no respect for
authority
and he wanted children to understand
that there's a chain of authority that
people that children need to grow and
adults need to understand that there's
Authority and that in a military
structure you know you have you had
sergeants and you lieutenants and you
have generals all the way up the line
and it was very
um
uh very uh thought out and there was a
reason why he wanted to call it civil
Hashem yes I thought it was a very
beautiful and forward-thinking a very
subtle nuance
speaking about it then there were
private letters I think it came from the
Federation the New Jersey Federation you
know who were were looking to understand
I think that they were one of the maybe
the other groups but um that explained
this whole idea of the tongue kissed it
and the chip is Hashem which by the way
is two separate times the tankista
started in the mid 70s
74-75 Hashem started in 1980 but the
letters that you're referring to is the
the ship is Hashem what I'm referring to
is when the rabbit started the tanks I
remember like now he spoke about this
whole fighting assimilation and why he's
using
um images of tanks and Military he spoke
about it then as well by the fabrina's
Hebrew
I hope we understood today's year and
it'll help us in our dabbing tomorrow
morning
in our marriages and our kids and
grandkids marriages I think we could we
could we could use I'm sharing what the
rabbit told me that it did well
zeitgeism have a great day everyone
Shalom bye take care
