recap briefly
we're learning this mimer that was set
in 1938 and dawned on me this morning
you know the best thoughts come to a
person when they're in middle or dominic
anyway
um
it's possible i didn't look up the dates
yet
that this mimer was said around the time
when it was kristallnacht no
what wha wha isn't crystal knock wasn't
kristnach started november of 1938
november 1938 i was thinking of that
yesterday also
1938 hit me as a
uh
important change of uh
of
gears for jews in europe
crystal not and the
the ghettoization process and the
different stuff
okay
and this one one minute one minute
and this mimer was said hi sarah of 38
which i believe when i'll check out the
date it's november of 38th
november 9th
oh you what
anyway it's in the it's in november
probably so it's just interesting to me
that the the previous rabbit of joseph
yitzhak
um the sixth laboratory
set a mimer
in uh in poland
about that uh about a topic that kind of
is an antidote
to the to the disturbances in greater
europe
okay so what did we learned yesterday
and just to recap crap recap briefly
come before him there no no with song
and dance
and there ever the previous rabbit says
the implication of the verse is such
that when
will you experience true
if you're if you're in a state of simcha
therefore
he questions what does it mean to be in
a state of simcha what is simcha how do
i get the simcha what is it
and this is the thrust and theme of the
mimer
but as
in in chabad style of hasidis it's only
going to get more intellectual as we get
along i went through the mimer yesterday
so you know we're getting the easy stuff
in this first paragraph but then from
paragraph from say a paragraph to and on
it really starts being very analytical
not capitalistic analytical and this is
healthy hasidis
so i'm just giving you a full warning
that you got to put on your thinking
caps more and more as we continue but he
said
the following he said
that in order to appreciate simcha we
must
lay the groundwork and his foundational
thought is the following
and i found it to be fascinating
and that is
that the whole concept of out
varema
mate which is we learned in pity
obviously three pillars the world stands
a lot of
sodium
acts of mitzvos
and the question is why
means benevolent acts even if they're
not a mitzvah so how do you put the two
together and and yani pointed that out
in his question yesterday and i
responded
that here he doesn't mean
camilla's hassodim
as just milos hassadin in piercy office
he does but but the way that rebbe
brings it here in the mimer
he's defining
him as myself
and his logic is the following
mitzvahs arose
are an opportunity mitzvahs are an
opportunity mitchells are an opportunity
did you ever think about that it doesn't
say because he wanted to get make us
meritorious with mitzvahs
he gave us mitzvahs it doesn't say the
word nassan
it says hereby
he gave us a lot a multitude rebui rebuy
that makes the concept even stronger
because hashem sees mitzvos
as a benevolent act
that is the foundation of the mitzvah
so he showers us with that opportunity
if he were to only give us
a limited amount of mitzvahs
and the language would be
no san lohan
and not here below him
then then the implication would be
he's giving us just the right amount of
medicine why because it's tit for tat
you want to make panosa here is a
mitzvah you want to make uh you want to
have a real
long life here's a mitzvah you want to
have success with
is a mitzvah
this is the complete opposite of what
mixes are really all about
and just for a moment because this is
very important very important because
there's a big issue in the community in
our communities what's
segulo
say this for this segura say this with
this gula
as a general rule you should know as a
general rules don't you know as a
general in chabad we don't we don't
really put emphasis on segulas and not
only khabad i would say
in brisk in certain and probably more
the lit [ __ ] oriented uh you know
way of observing hashem
there's little
pain they pay little attention to
ghoulish but i'm saying chabad which is
a hasidis
also doesn't make a big deal about
schoolers and this you have in the
rebels letters so i'm not going to say
never
but as a general
message when someone comes to me you
know based on what i learned from the
rebel is you know
you got to work hard and invest and use
your brains and pray to hashem and do
mitzvahs and give to dhaka and you'll
have the same as as gula nevertheless
now so why is that why why is that
because the whole idea of a mitzvah is
an opportunity
what is this ghoul us gula is one step
removed from a reward so we have three
things listen to this heaven
we have a reward tit-for-tat you work
you get paid how much do you work how
many hours that's how much you get paid
you work overtime you get twice as much
the taxi now just roll it takes you
after eight o'clock in the evening or
whatever charge you twice as much right
because it's not the normal time to work
that's called reward it's not a gift
that's what i charge you like it or not
you don't want my service no problem i'm
not taking you
that's called a scar
then we have and there's one concept of
a mitzvah called sky mitzvah a reward
for mitsub
then we have a goola
when you do a mitzvah it's a remedy it's
a schoola
for a certain issue so for example
um
the the
midst of shiloh khan
right
the terrorist says
you'll have a richest yeoman
now i want to ask you a question
is that the reason to be making the
misra
i'm going to do the midst of shalom
because i want to live to 180 120
195 i'm 65 70. i want to live another 35
years
let me find some schoolers out there to
get me
uh insurance it's an insurance policy
and and the fact is the holy trader says
so what's the shot
the shot is the toyota is saying that
this mitzvah carries along with itself
as gula called arika's yummy
but why should i do the mitzvah
because of the arrika's yam absolutely
not
i should do it because it's the will of
god to do shiloh
or honor your parents
not because it makes sense to honor my
parents and not because i'm going to
have a rehearsal
it's god's will that i should give honor
to my parents whether i like it or i
don't i understand it or i don't right
but the torah says
of course the toyota says that but the
traitor says that as a torah sanctioned
segura if you do the mitzvot for the
right purpose
and if you do the mitzvah for the wrong
purpose i'm not sure i don't you know we
have to look into the first him if
someone let's say does the mitzvah of
respecting their parents for an ulterior
motive will they still get the mitzvot
of uh will they get the benefit of
arrika's young men it could be they will
because of tyra cesso but in spirit
it's really shabby you know it's like
it's like you know um you force yourself
into a situation
you don't really want to be there and
while you're there you benefit from it
so what do we see that the second idea
in mitzvos is segula
and then comes the third idea
the third idea is that mitzvahs are an
opportunity
and a gift that hashem gave us
because god loves us and he decided he
wants to give it to us and this we call
pure camilla's heset right abby what's
up miller's crescent i don't owe you
anything
you owe me nothing
i don't know you you don't know me but
nevertheless i want to be kind to you
because i have a streak of kindness in
me and i want to be glamor
that's what
it is and by the way that's why
the game is
it says is banelashirim or bailanim
both to the wealthy and the poor sadaka
the obligation of giving charity of
tsudaka is only to aneen to the poor
but camilla's crescent is someone who's
cash
you know cash strap he doesn't have
money liquid he has a lot of money but
it's tied up in investments and stocks
and real estate whatever else
and now he needs a loan you say you need
a loan
you need a loan
and you go tell him go sell your
property that's not your business
of course he you know he should do that
but he can't now so right now you give
him a communion
and that's what
part of the game is funds that we find
in our communities
are
geared towards even people who do have
funds but at this time they're tied up
for whatever reason so camila's it is
not obligatory it is totally voluntary
and benevolent
gives us an opportunity and that's why
and that's why
when you think about this
then you should become the happiest
person
every morning i have an opportunity to
bind myself to hashem through my film
every morning i have an opportunity to
think about the greatness and all and
awesomeness of god as i as i make the
break of the thrill
every morning i can give seducti to a
pushka helping another jew
so that's that's the deeper the deeper
idea of a mitzvah this is the track that
that is on in this mimer let's not
continue page
um
uh
114 115 uh yeah 114 at the bottom
okay
uh it's four lines from the bottom the
last two words
hey
we have a a new uh a new cover here i've
run bell do you have the mind where you
want us to to what's happened to you
nice thank good good
uh by the way i've run if you have
questions you want to interject or
comment it's an interactive share okay
so feel free
feel free please
okay four lines in the bottom two last
two words
that's why
generally speaking mitzvahs are called
the avoid
now he's going to the second category
okay
avoid
what is avoided
this refers to the sacrifices
of the now
the act of
fear of the
bonus now we know
we don't have yet
the basa amigdas we're waiting for avi
to take us on a tour of the base amignos
until that moment
feel a prayer substitutes for sacrifice
for
this specifically refers not to the
study of tita
and not to what the doing of the middle
of mid-swiss but more more so
the surface of the heart avenue this if
how do i know
of the
what is considered a service of the
heart
happy amen we say zootrillo this is
i want you to
underline this put quotes around it and
and wedge it in your head
i feel it's a beautiful summation of
what davening should be and is
thila is the avodah
imhalev
with the heart
in the heart yeah listen right
you the instrument used for davening is
the heart
and this is very important just for a
moment people a lot of people dabbing
with their cup with their head they know
the meaning of the words but it's all
very organized and calculated the heart
is not neither says the word slumped
it's a flop means flamed
the heart is not on fire
right you take a look at the weight of
slave macaron
it was a heart
he allowed his heart
to to be expressive
that is tefila
and that's why he succeeded so much that
he was the person that probably
succeeded more than anyone else in in
warming up a generation to davening is
because he emphasized the heart and
believe me he was a terrorist talmud i'm
a great one
see this gemara everything he could have
easily
intellectualized villa he didn't do that
rather he took the knowledge that he had
and he filtered it through the heart and
that's why the previous it happened
happens to be it absolutely was very
much a class of the previous surah as we
know
the
the heart that's the tool
if you're not on you're not using that
tool you have the wrong tool for
dominique and that's why your dabbing
won't be successful
and that's why you say i'm bored
it's boring
i don't want to die
let me get out of here already let me
finish because you're not using the left
you're using your heart and number two
ubertoka live
not only is the instrument the kale in
the heart
but
where does feeler reach inside your
heart
inside the heart is where feeler reaches
and motivates the emotions of the heart
so that's why this these few words
here behind the tv
is very
the surface of the heart
when you're plugged in and your heart's
plugged in it gives no same vitality
highest to your study of tolerance
during the mixes
so yes
i from this three there's three
um pillars upon which the world
sits and stands and exists
although that's true
but it's the element of avoider
surface of the heart
that gives highest in torah mitzvahs in
the other two
says that
when you say avoid
service work
it denotes automatically it means
automatically
and we'll see why soon
and it's so important that aveda
be with simcha
we know this from the fact that when
we're missing
in service and avoid the sieve is a
prosecution
since you didn't serve hashem with joy
and gladness of the heart in every
matter
volvade
you will automatically be serving your
your
your enemy
in other words
in other words what's the understanding
of this verse velvet listen to this
not delegates i have an option
to serve hashem
it's better to serve hashem
if i don't say
i'm still serving god
comes along the arizona there's an
interpretation by the way from the holy
ariza and that esau says it's wrote in
tanya too
that is says
ins because
he defines he translates here as because
takas means
instead he says because
since you didn't serve hashem
in every manner of your life including
in your mix was
the result will be that automatically
you will serve your enemy
let me give you an example to this it
says by joseph
but her boy rake
ain't ba mayan
they threw yosef into a pit there's no
water there let me ask you if someone's
throwing a pit there's no water is the
is is it the end of his of his life
no
he might dehydrate it's uncomfortable
he's thirsty
comes along rashi and rashi and the
verse says when we'll get to it in in
hummus you'll see it there in rashi
rashi says
that the implication of aimbot mayan
there's no water is
but snakes and scorpions were there
in other words
when there is no water
it's not that the pit is empty and you
can exist you're in deep trouble if
there's no water because what there is
when there's no water snakes and
scorpions that your life is in danger
this is brought in the swarm both the
hasidis and musser
with the following you've heard it just
to repeat to refresh our memory
[Music]
mayam as we have citations refers to
toyota
but her boy rake the bar the the pit
refers to the cup the person's head
like a pit right like a hole there's
brains inside there's stuff inside but
if the cup is empty if the mind is empty
of torah
you have scorpions snakes and scorpions
there that are gonna plague you
it's not that i can have an empty mind
from tata and you know what i'll be
neutral it doesn't work that way not in
this life
as long as you your mind is not occupied
with tata
so then you gravitate towards michigan
all kinds of mesh but
the gravitation is automatic because
trader
is not there
that ever says the same thing here
quoting the arizona regarding simcha
when you lack
hashem
automatically you're going to serve your
enemy meaning and he's going to explain
later in the mimer who the enemies are
what he refers to left towards the end
of the mimer we got quite a way to get
there but the nakuda is a very important
decoder
you have to fill your mind with toyota
and you have to be in a state of simcha
by working on simcha
because if you don't you end up being
depressed upset
thinking all about yourself it's my i
have all these terrorists i repeat what
i heard to them
he said this he said it is in betrayment
of dollar davis when i was there about
four years ago
in in one of the shows there in the
other ramat
and he said to the heaven it was about
50 60 um
not lebanese
somewhere but not he says
if i wake up in the morning i think
about myself i get very down
family issues you know even though he
himself is you know like a holy guy but
you know you know how it is we have
issues of life
children grandchildren prognostic
community
but when i
don't think about myself and i think
about the other i have a way to be
baseball
so when when we talk about being basim
we'll talk more about this later in the
moment there are ways of accessing
simcoe but one thing's for sure
if you don't work on having simcha
and by the way understand
working on having simcha is half of the
cure
even though you don't yet have the
simcha but it bothers you that you don't
have the simcha and you think about it
and you discuss it and you try to do
this you try to do this to find simcha
that is very healthy even though you
don't yet necessarily have the state of
simcha
so when you do that
then you will not automatically serve
the
enemy but if not says that ever
quoting the verse in the theater
but sort of
let's continue we must understand
i mean i spoke a lot of this out but
that is asking the question
what is the virtue of simcoe haley could
avoid the he has bonus ballicos isn't
the primary aspect to understand and
reflect on godliness
is the first thing that a person must do
in their service to god is he calling
the cross
prepare yourself
you have to be prepared for prep
how do you do that
a person must know first and foremost
and first
that what was named
who is he daviding before well
commandment as the saying goes
no before who you're standing
the later may mayana thrilling you have
to know what darkening is about the
thriller voices
davening consists of words
with praise and thanksgiving
what god did for you for the person in
the past and also of course he said
islam
david is about requesting pleading and
asking for mercy but masha khashoggi
with what's missing what i have what i'm
lacking in my life
he says that
when a person for example speaks to
another person he's equivalent
great gazette he speaks to himself
he talks to him but he doesn't listen to
what's coming out of his mouth
rambling
and he talks quick
very very quick
in addition to the fact that the person
who's listening to the person speaking
quickly will not pay attention to him
because he can't understand him but to
begin with he's turned off to his quick
quick speech eloise
he'll yakshavu he'll consider the one
speaking so quickly because
he would never speak this way you speak
articulately and and and every words
enunciated etc
i should be asked
because this person doesn't know what
himself is saying because he's speaking
so quickly and because swallowing words
imagine the same person will come before
a minister and a ruler
thanking him for the goodness that he's
done for him
or he he has a request from the ruler or
a minister the adapter
is actually
he'll speak in a manner it's very
quickly not even hearing what he himself
is saying because he's swallowing the
words he the laser will virtually
ishmael's devotion not only will his
request not be heard by the minister and
ruler eloises you're going to share your
caller and say get out of here
he'll chase him away he's
okay it's not this is not normal
specifically
before hashem
whether he has a pleading and a request
of god and asking for god's mercy
julius villasay miss udaires his feeling
must be organized number one make a
number one over there number one
organized
le vatejo is number two to express the
words calmly and patiently missinut
and number three over suffer
with a clear dictum
laws of not only does his his own ears
have to hear what he's saying and the
goblin
boy his hot mind and his heart must also
be attentive to peter shamila's to the
meaning of the words that he's saying
this is what we call
a basic dominant basic
now that ever says
we'll stop here we'll stop here we'll
continue
actually you have a few we'll just
finish the paragraph
now he says icar not just basic trilo
but the primary aspect of davening here
his burden is its meditation by subject
silly kids reflection of god's greatness
ah you say it but say to this until he
will be aroused
without the yiddish having the love and
fear for god
so now he concludes his question
if that's the case his question is
why is it relevant whether you have
somehow not do you understand what
you're doing did you prepare yourself
are you being articulate are you not
swallowing the words
that's added the you know mustard
mustard and ketchup
to the food
you you will you are serving your enemy
and then that
second question is
who are these enemies that we're
referring to
so basically this paragraph leaves us
with the two questions
why is simcha
absolutely necessary
not a
option but you must have simcha
when you learn
when you do admirals
and yeah yeah listen what do you want to
say
yeah you were talking about uh for a
heart
by feeling in the heart
so
when
when you meet somebody you haven't seen
for a long time
but that's a long time
or
or when you get a flight when you get a
fight
[Applause]
you know you you remind me of your sin
there was a famous chabad his name was
rabbi
he was like the father figure of the
drison family
and and he came from a city over there
uh in russia with india called the mayor
so
he was you know he he learned to
lubavitch and he had self-sacrifice he
made yeshivas during stalin's time he
paid his dues big time and davis to help
that he survived he passed away at 90
years old in 1990.
anyway so this
would always say when he would take a
little mask and his heart used to
it's a flocking
it started to flame up
he would say then the shrimmer pump it
the soul is pumping
you know in other words
my heart pumping is one thing he says
but it's the south in my heart that's
really pumping so when you use the word
when you said that reminded me of the
pumping of the heart that abrama yeah
would talk about
okay any any other questions or thoughts
anyone would like to uh ask or share or
anything
okay if not we'll be back in the sh
yes so they started in the show after
chakras
it's called
after david every morning
it's called a um
what is it called
circle of um gratitude gratitude circle
okay sits around and talks about what
they're you know what they feel grateful
for their families and this and that so
like today the first time i joined and
they started a few months ago it was
unbelievable it was like mamish like
everybody's sharing and it was beautiful
five minutes after david i i highly
recommend it whoever could come it's
like usually around like a quarter to
ten we finish chakras it was just
amazing everybody's like so open with
each other that's wonderful that that's
the brotherhood brotherhood with obvious
israel is is very important yes hillary
no i'm just saying hi
i saw abraham
community i don't know where are you
from where are you my singing buddy i
missed that mr marwie
okay anyway
valvo why are you so quiet well glad to
say something
you're you're you're all you're we
you're their energizer all and you're
all alone in germany and we spoke you
missed it but well velvet this mimer was
this available this mime was set in
november of 1938
when kristallnacht broke out you know
when he said it was november 9th 1938
and this mine was set highest
1938 and i see even though set in poland
not in germany where you know it broke
out and all that whatever
but uh i think there's some connection
there
how everything all right everything all
right available
yeah just
i say don't worry about 35 45 50. worry
about five minutes take five minutes and
that's a long time
[Music]
uh
there's no excuse the trunk and the
cougar will wait five more minutes
whether it's at yeah exactly whether
it's whether the kid is
running no if you hold yourself back
five minutes because you're diving a
little longer and thinking about hashem
and trying to get your heart and and you
missed the boiling hot google trust me
that you have more scar and you're
you're closer to hashem that way than
than jumping to the google and the same
is coming home and your wife will resp
and your wife will respect you if you
really are diving a little longer and
that's why you're a little delayed and
your guests will respect you listen i
i've done it so
it's it's proven it's a fact
you know it's it's what it's when we
mess around and waste time or just sit
around and drink and hakka china that
you know this is not appropriate get get
home and you have a family and and be a
mensch but if you're if you're with
kedusha
and especially this five minutes ima
over toka lev

you i say it's a cathartic experience
you you'll after those five minutes
you'll say wow wow it was elated you
know
like an absolutely would say it says
gevaldine right
and we're going to learn all about this
by the way that the miami now is going
to go into the concept of pleasure
in other words to really experience
simcha
it comes from a pleasure so he's going
to now really analyze what is kind of
we've never i don't recall in our four
years of learning that we really spent
