start learning uh let's see where we up
to
yeah we're i think we're on page 385
with the last
last paragraph okay
morning guys everyone else hello
okay 385 last paragraph
for zelda kosovo remember the miami
began with the possible mayan and a
wellspring
me based hashem
you know a house encompasses the person
so a house represents what we call in
kabbalah
masha kosov c regarded the concept of a
house bilikuti toyorov of the altareb
petrucha
literally means a sermon but in this
sense in the hasidic world of khabad
it means
[Music]
over there it says that the level of
bias
which is makif is actually the inner
aspect the inner aspect of kessar
remember we discussed there's two
aspects of kessar
there is ma there's panimi sakes the
inner aspect of the crown
and there's the hitsonius so over there
the altareb explains that the
bias represents the panemias of cancer
i'm not going to go into it now i'll
just we'll go on
the zoo indian and this is the concept
um yet say
that a wellspring from the home of
hashem exits high noon
penis
when we talk about the wellspring
coming out we're talking about
wisdom that comes out from
the home from the un
under the ground right so
so in other words it's the wellspring
itself that
exits there so there is
by the way wisdom intelligence is
is already a format is already formatted
which is comes later
then there is within
its source and from there it exits
so that's what the posik is saying that
this
wellspring exits but it's the wellspring
that exits
by the way that's what the rebel always
or the rebel always quoted the posse the
youfutsu right there ever said that the
belchemtov
when your wellsprings will will it will
extend themselves
outwardly you futsu
the rebbe explained in the early years
in particular and
later on as well that it's the mayan
itself
that reaches the outside it's not that
you're getting something from the mayan
but it's not the mayan the episode
that's not the
that's not the understanding of the of
the of the concept
your wellspring whatever that wellspring
is it itself
will reach hutze and the rebbe
emphasized
that teachers that we need to share the
very
depth of hasidis
of the kabbalah in other words don't
don't
sell them short understandably you know
there's ways of explaining it and
and and and you know and but but it's
the mayan itself
not something other than the mayan so
here the rabbit says here that ashab
that's
if you look over there under the topic
wellspring you'll see where this
explained better
[Music]
remember to refresh our memories
we learned it last week that
is two aspects of this is the way khakim
is already
what's the word in english or per
generator i believe it's it's already
a a forecast what's going to be later
so the association healer of that is
with the it it already adapts
the situation outside of
then there is not thinking about what's
going to be later
but the way is thinking about where it
came from
and the word look at the word is
comprised of
what does ma mean what what is it
i don't know what it is so the rep is
saying there are shops saying that the
level of
mayan is that is that aspect of
the ma within the focus on
where it came from not where it's going
let's continue um
and this maya itself will water
the valley of
it will
the very folly and silliness and
stupidity of negativity
will be transformed
to holy silliness
an experience that's called holy
foolishness
that transcends logic and makes no sense
and where does it come from it comes
from the very mayan
it comes to the very very depth of the
person
because deep down a jew a yid not
wants to do what hashem wants right and
the yi
will go to the end of the world to do
what god
even if it means defying logic and even
what's contrary to logic
and that's called the
name
the idea that transcends logic zero by
void
so here it is to encapsulate what is
the avoider that's transcendent
it's called it's called mayan
so again
generally speaking in in in in in
hasidis when we talk about the level of
mayan we're talking about the level of
transcendence
again if you see in a mimer otherwise
it's basic it's because the context is
different over there
but usually this is the this is what he
says
right what how can you transcend
if if if if law and order tells you
that this is the situation well let's
put it
let's put it in in practical terms if
customers show them someone's not well
doctors tell you
so and so is the situation and this is
going to be the situation
new so it's
nature the answer is if you connect with
examiner
and you experience it that
level of experience transcends what the
doctor says
and it could bring you the miracle in
the bra and it's no contradiction the
doctors are talking about nature
what medical science says and the mayan
is is a lacus
okay so most of us
most of the time we're not functioning
with transcendence
we're functioning with new whatever you
gotta
you gotta have a lockdown for three days
no one can go in and out of the country
that's teva because there's a there's a
knesset and they take a vote
whether you like it or not sorry to say
chaps but
your prisoners you could do nothing
try up and down make protests they got
you
locked in that's the way it is i this
uh what it is a bit of a gilded cage
i mean we do have caduceus to console
ourselves
oh yes anyway
[Music]
it says yoni the well
will make the valley of shitem
it will make it wet uh avi by the way
do we know roughly where is this nachos
[Music]
this means that the animals drive
shouldn't all practical matters because
act with holy stupidity holy silliness
hey basic muscle
in business nothing will prevent him
from serving hashem
i don't care how busy he is how much
property he owns and how he has to he's
a ceo from this and the ceo from dad and
up cfo
with all these c c's all the c's
it makes no difference it comes time to
dive and it down it comes time to learn
he learns
but they're no genetic calling you wait
i'm diving now
oh come on right remember i told you the
story i'm walking up from mayor sharon
over there in rehab bahrain you know the
street over there from walking up from
from may asharam up to uh over there so
there's a street called bahram
it's like a shortcut so i used to walk
that when i was a
you know doing some work in irushalayim
i walked i had a friend there
probably alphorovich a very good friend
he invited me and i used to go whatever
so i'm walking up that street and i i
was very hot one day i wanted a little
uh
a drink a soda something or seltzer it
would have water
so the kiosks i go in and i and
someone's talking the owner is talking
to someone and learning
and i'm waiting i'm waiting and he
doesn't stop
and it's hot and i want to drink and i
gotta go
and it's like i'm not there so i finally
say to him i'm after all
i'm a new yorker i say to him
nothing else exists now we're middle of
learning
if you don't like that go somewhere else
it was it was it was it was just the
middle you know like in the middle of
the day
there's nothing going on and he and he
you know she wasn't being rude i didn't
feel he was being rude
he was really immersed and engrossed in
talking tighter to someone else and the
business
makes no difference he makes the shackle
he doesn't make the shackle
anyway let's go further
gives a person the kayak to overcome the
indulgences and the pleasures
and when this is actualized it causes
a subjugation
in the animal derived of in the general
animal drive
you see the first thing we have to do is
get
our nepheshabamas to cool down
this explained in muslims foreign
boiling blood
is a very boiling type of animal
and the first thing you have to do is
you have to say calm down
calm down time out relax
chill that's what the rapper says here
so the first thing that the mayan
impacts the netherlands obama's is to be
chilled
and not to be so cuckoo and crazy for
the gosmius
he still wants gospelius he still has
that desire
but it's with less
passion let's continue
[Music]
once that happens you have the
revelation of the intellectual and the
emotional godly
aspect that kicks in
once that kicks in then you say hey
behema you're an animal
you have your place and your place is
not here because i'm a yid and i got a
dove and learn now
and be a mensch and then you conduct
yourself based
on the level of dostig ducha
now moshe so again we're talking here
remember i want to
recap what we've been saying the last
few weeks in the memorial
we have stus we have kedusha
and we have lamyla mikidusha
right in other words the first step is
to go from to kedusha
stop doing what you're not supposed to
and start doing what you're supposed to
but that's normal that that's that's
what we do
the idea of transcendence is a very very
uh different aveda and once
you're already in the norm
you can go for transcendence now it
happens to be that some people
they they somehow they go for broke to
begin with
they they come to their chuva they come
to their potential
through doing something that's totally
totally out of character and that's true
so i'm not that ashab is not excluding
that it's not possible to experience
that
but by most people most times
that's not the way it happens you could
say it's you know the gradual way the
balchuva comes
into chuva and then there is
the exception to the rule but from the
kitchen
[Music]
explains what is
it's from the mayan from the wellspring
that gives a yi the kayak to overcome
and to stay have be ready to do kid
hashem and and and but and and
and deal with missionaries tests
it's not easy it's not easy to
face a test a trial
where does it come from how do you have
the clay to overcome a test
[Music]
says you see how it's in
with the dittos
it's the kayak the potential that it can
extend itself to the next
experience which we call analysis
understanding
and then he conducts himself in all
matters in holiness
let's continue next might must be 89.
yes uh i watched the story about
it was the israeli airline no there was
a
klm airline going flat
hmm how to put on the safety
belts and then and how to put on the
safety jacket
so see i get stuff and start cooking
people
and everybody's listening and meanwhile
meanwhile
but he was doing this he was doing this
at the same time that's
that she was explaining the safety rules
no no no no
in the beginning right and he was
supposed to translate
it and instead of questioning it he
maybe but i'm not sure if it's it's
right
whatever okay listen whatever
that's it's it's funny yeah let's
continue yeah
rabbit dolphins yeah yeah before we go
on before we go on just wanna
i just want to clarify what we mean when
we
so that to me you just you said you go
from
kadu to kadusha then above kedusha
so to me stopping in the middle of the
day going to minsk etc
that sounds like kedusha yes that sounds
like normal like
right no you know not easy but normal
now so so what what would be
what would be
is that right after you sit and learn
with someone else because you want to
teach them
and even though you know that you're
losing business
you're not you're not obligated to do
that
what
you have no obligation to sit and learn
right you have to go back to your work
and you decide someone wants to learn
you want to learn someone
you know you're going to do it even
though you know that you're taking time
from work and you could and you'll be
losing
money or business that's a new official
that's correct and that that that that
yeah that's the example that gomorrah
gives the huda barilohe
that you know he didn't have to go
he made himself look like a fool you
know you imagine a big rush of shiva big
rabbi who's you know proper and
you know and all of a sudden he comes in
and he acts you know so silly
and it's not purim it's not simple as
torah it's a wedding and he did it
because he wanted to bring cinco de
cross on the color
so he he he he goes out of character
you're kind of humiliating himself for
the purpose
of making simcha so that's another
example thank you for bringing it to our
attention of course
we just learned that let's continue you
know if we wherever you have to go go
okay my majesty the last mimer of the
safer
thanks everybody see you see you
tomorrow have a good day
so this this mimer is what we call ahref
chapter 28
and it's so bad is that it's
kawaki so this chapter is the kayak of
the whole countries
of the whole we've been learning for
several months about hashem
and we're now going to make a cm when we
finish this
hashem
himself seems like it nazi is
summarizing what he said all this time
those are the shops words the content of
the words that
i've shared with you throughout in
regard to a
wellspring leaving the home exit of god
uh
home of hashem and and and and and
watering the
the valley of sheepdom who what is let's
see
someone who's already been exposed to
pituitary tahrara to the nonsense of the
eta hero
may echo may echo
in one of the ways that the eight sahara
gets to us
whether in battalions retinol gilliam
has it whether it be indulges in
worldly pleasures
[Music]
that one is drawn after the natural
animalistic good
binyan in the physical matter
and why is he drawn there because he's
so corporeal so of course
so grub that he feels this
as margis so he feels
the the the schmuck the pleasure
the delight in the gas mias
and this makes him cuckoo
crazy is another word for saying the
sugar
he will go to all ends to get this
pleasure
he must have this pleasure this
and he goes beyond logic
even though he knows that really it's
not good for him
but he is addicted this is addiction
this is with permissible matter and more
specifically when it comes to
prohibited matter god forbid
even regarding prohibited matter the
spirit of folly of nonsense of the aids
of utter
sheila the love dominates over him
it convinces him listen you don't become
separated from hashem from
doing a little of era
it's only a little available you got so
many bigger things
hashem has many bigger things to think
about
you think you think so these are the
type of arguments the yates sahara the
neferesh obama's throws of the person
and he says you're concerned you're
going to be nifrat
you're not going to be near separated
and he convinces him you're still a jew
for his buddhist bill of avila quoting
the first
moshe that we spoke about in the
beginning my man devouring him
he blesses his he blesses himself
he justifies himself in his heart to say
shalom yearly peace will beat them we'll
meet you then and who will see my little
sin or me they is in your neo myself who
will know what i do behind closed doors
and
etc
all these are false fantasies
the shekel mukhlet complete lies
commercials
and is is part of
his experience because he's claimer
because he's coarse and corrupt
so he falls into the trap of this
argument
oh he says for example basic muscle
mutton
when it comes to business but he brings
high schools
he's he he's so engrossed in work
remember we spoke about this
he's like um so much business
and so much headaches tear downs with
boilers and deception
to the point that prevents them from
setting side times to learn and diving
properly
and because a person is so immersed
so sunk into one of these things
[Music]
to make him lean away
from the path of truth the aim behold
oil is gobbing or love and the person
cannot have
doesn't have the kayak to overpower the
aids
based on the right type of logic that we
mentioned earlier when they take off
today because the eight sahara is so
powerful
and and says it gets
it gets i'm learning now um the the
the the the mesha's mom as
time goes on the yetzer howard doesn't
take a hiatus notification
he becomes stronger and stronger with
his
[Music]
as time progresses should astonish
by using it much by
having the eight sahara be used more and
more
next page 391 eating
and drinking and all other matters of
the physical world
here ends the quote from tanya chapter
13. so the
the rashaba is saying don't think that
he ate sahara he nudges you one day
makes you
gets you to do what he wants and the
next day he's asleep
and all that and he's tired he works so
hard
no if you're eating and drinking the
next day and we do
three times a day and unfortunately
sometimes with snacks here snacks there
snacks everywhere so
we've we we've created that the eight
sahara
is being used the entire time because
we're you know
so what happens he becomes stronger not
weaker
he becomes so he's active the entire
time that's what the altitude
says
[Music]
so therefore when the person who's
governed at this point by the yates
sahara
and then encounters something that
really talks to him that he's immersed
that he's sunk
he's addicted to
he's very impacted
with a natural sense of of of of
of animalistic tendency
and he loses his mind the sickler and
his intelligence
and automatically he goes to the to the
he he goes he inclines himself to the
wrong side
side via his race and more so
sharia is enough hillary keys
guess what happens as well that the
power of his nephew shall accuse
because of this tendency and addictions
and all that
hallucinature becomes weak
and he quotes a piece of tsar that's
very important listen to this
the overpowering of the body who should
the nishmasa makes the soul weak
and the opposite is also true
when you highlight and you have your
solo be
overpowered be in control it weakens the
body
and sometimes you see attack of people
who are tabitha
meme and things like that and all that
they're pretty strong right
and took for the but took for the goofer
he was talking about the opposite the
negative
that when you have the toe cave the
passion of body
of bodily needs and indulgences be the
the
control and be very passionate
automatically it makes a khalif
a weakness in the muscle um
and this situation makes it so
that the person isn't able to
be proper because he's a slave
to gosnius a
so i taught you in the countries i gave
you advice
i know the problem for aids are you sir
the advice of all advices this gobbler
who chose to be able to overpower the
spirit of falling
that's the concept of the the valley of
with
sometimes you just gotta go to the other
extreme
to get out of this if you see
that moshe said you know there's the
average i gotta go to minha
that means that you're not so sunk if
you're able to say
and say i'm stopping now i have to go
david
obviously you're not addicted to the
work in a
that's in a negative way you you have
your limits
but someone who doesn't and can't tear
himself away from his work
and his computer and his toys and
everything else
so that our shop taught us at that time
you have to
implement sos and the slds is going for
broke go to the other extreme
and that's the only way you'll come out
of it
you know what are they saying the aaa
you got to hit the 12th step
rock bottom only if you hit rock bottom
and you can you realize that you know
you're not in control
can you can your can your recovery begin
but until that moment it it can't begin
so in a way that's distusted
okay let's continue for who she is
you should be powerful as a lion
but to do the opposite of leash from
titan without argumentation who believes
without accountability but thank you
just with great passion
jumping out and doing what you need to
do and don't argue and don't they don't
say don't think you can
smarter than yet sahara just leave all
that alone just get out of it
regarding the matter in which you're so
immersed may echo
in one of the mentioned previously
mentioned ideas of the
foolishness of foolish ideas
you should do the opposite of it
completely
and don't say wait if let's say someone
has a tendency to sleep in in the
morning and he misses minion
so he decides he's going to be up all
night now that's
because you'll be tired later on but he
doesn't make a hedge but he says i have
to break my pattern
i'm this is just an example i'm giving
so
he knows that that's not the normal way
and ultimately he wants to get up at a
normal time and not sleep
you know much during the day but he has
to break a pattern
so he decides to go to the opposite
stream that's that's another example
where you go to the other extreme and
you don't make a husband that's what he
says
what's going to be with me well let me
tell you another thing that the rebels
spoke about in 1950s yani
you'll see the rebecca's in the 50s he
speaks a lot about what's called
tacrus because the europeans that came
over many of our parents and
grandparents
you know they came to this country and
they said taco is what it's going to be
you're sitting in europe most kids did
not sit in yeshiva to 1718.
my father at 15 already my grandfather
wanted him out of yeshiva
and anyway and my grandfather was a a
vision succussed
and an and a talmud but in romania
you know at 15 you were helping your
parents bring parnosa it was so
difficult
they come to eretz's role the poverty is
immense 49.50
beginning in living in the in the
mabarot in the transit camps in natanya
and then ending up in in in in
in in ramla um because the arabs after
all ran away so the government gave them
housing with
with um uh you know uh broken down
huts and all that as you probably know
and my grandpa and it goes into yeshiva
and that's the whole story how he got to
yeshiva but he got to yeshiva
and after a few years my grandfather
says enough yeshiva
we need you to have me help us make
surprise obstacles it was very hard for
my grandparents
so along came a bucker who never later
was murdered
in 1955 in the winter rebels
the buffalo he slowed the blue skin he
was walking on the fish between tel aviv
and the old fish in yerushalayim
and the father yin grabbed them they
were hiding in the in the pardesim and
they grabbed him and they murdered him
over there
and and a while before he visited he was
an older butler in yeshiva
he came to my grandparents home in tel
aviv
and and he said to them what are you
doing to your son
he's just beginning to learn so my
grandparents were sincere they said
you know it's great to learn but we need
you know in europe you learned to 15 and
then you went on
so he says i know but now we're in
eric's role
and we're building the country and we
meet torah as well
and we need to meet him and he was so
sincere
that he convinced them i don't know if
he convinced them but they
they yeah i guess he convinced them
could they let him go back to yeshiva
and he stayed to the yeshiva until he
was like 20. you know
so he got another three four years of
learning and those he always says with
his best years
that made him into a mensch you know and
then he went and you know he worked and
all that why do i say that
because if you if you think about it at
that time
my grandparents were right the the way
was in europe is you didn't in
yeshiva long
it was the exception you all know right
most boys
didn't sit in yeshiva
you know today if you say that oy vey
you're the worst father
i think i told you um when my son was 15
i had a rough time with him in yeshiva
i had a lot of you know it was rough you
know
different issues so
so i didn't know what to do so the
embargo park we have uh atorsky
i think ben c and twersky a very
psychologist and
you know and i hust it and learn it
anyway
and i'll never forget i think was him
made with someone else i had a
conversation i was actually laying in my
bed i remember
and he said to me like he said to me and
who says he has to learn in yeshiva
the rest of his teenage years if he's
not
gravitating toward that maybe he needs
to
work get an apprentice and this or that
and like for me
i i was like shocked i wasn't trained
this way
and and this is coming from a a real
yeshiva man you know what i mean
a real talmud you know uh atorsky that's
not coming from you know
so today you know in a way
we're maybe going back 100 years you
know the way it was in europe where
there's
there is more acceptance to
to understand that not all boys and
girls are cut out for yeshiva
but the tradition for the last
you know from post holocaust till
recently
is otherwise and if you don't go to
yeshiva
you're an outcast you know
so anyway um we'll continue tomorrow
to finish the mimer but uh i'm just
saying we learned here about
this idea of yakshev don't
think don't make a husband you
emotionally you asked about douchea
this is douche if the norm is to get out
of yeshiva at 15 and you continue till
you're 20
that's still deductions because in
europe we didn't do it that way
so over that's the way my grandparents
looked at it they weren't bad people
they were good people
and fruit people but like what you know
it was a whole new introduction in 1950s
are you kidding
to learning to sustain a yeshiva
it was a whole it was so if i'm just
showing you how
every situation you have the norm and
you have what transcends the norm
which from that perspective it's those
deductions
so i hope that's a helpful example and
you know it's relevant today too with
with kids going to the army or working
you know
all that not staying what they call in
the system you know
there's a lot to talk about which
everyone i'm sure
knows you know and understands is this
as well
you know it it's hard it's hard to
change
it's hard to be willing to hear and
especially when it's relevant to you
to your family and your own kids and
your own situation
you know it's a very hard thing and and
in a way we shouldn't be
tested you know what i'm saying
it's it's a difficult thing i don't want
to go into more details of negativity of
you know you know if a son or a daughter
brings home
some someone as a potential marriage
partner
who is not jewish
what are you going to do
i'm just saying that's an extreme yeah
but it happens it happens every day
you know i'm just saying it you know or
today
i don't want to say it even with all the
michigan if
if someone says that they're you know
they're into these alternative
lifestyles
and they're your own kid i mean
you like want to bury yourself
and these are very hard situations and
this is the shyness
it's tests and and this is the world we
live in today
i remember my daughter was a social
worker she said to me
this is a few years ago sitting at a
table shabbos he said to me
in 10 years from now we're gonna have
these situations
you're not gonna know who's male who's
female
who can get malia who can't get an alia
and it's gonna be normal
okay in a moment anyway kevin i gotta go
zeitgeist have a good day we'll talk
more tomorrow take care bye-bye thank
you
