learn chapter 18 High
some level to life pay the few tests
let's go right to it
Tyson's being bad hey Dave for
additional clarity
to explain very well Milas the word
within the verse
for this is very near you
what's bothering doubted at me here says
like this
what I explained to you in chapter 16
and 17 addresses the the idea of that
Torah is near you
but it doesn't adequately address the
word very near you because the word
there seems to be Superfluous why does
that have to say it could say
and everything would be understood
Hashem it adds the word in the terror
foreign
according to explanation of 16 and 17
one needs to generate
some feeling of ABBA
to get himself motivated to act
so yes it's not the heart palpitation
passionate love that we talk about but
it's still what we call the title
mystery but the intellectual of the cold
love
you need to generate that
I've run if you can do yourself I
appreciate it
but
what if someone
can't do that so how can you tell me
it's very near you
something that's very near you it's like
you know you push a button
and it's right there
something that you need to generate
through creating Allah creating that
feeling means you have to
reflect and meditate and think and you
know and have the data that's a job
that's work not everyone is shy after
that look look at Dr Rebels let's look
inside
we must know with complete faith
yeah
even someone whose mind is short you
know kind of can't get it in in regard
to knowledge of God so regarding
knowledge she doesn't have the knowledge
and he doesn't have the heart
to understand
the awesomeness the greatness of God
to give rise birth from those
intellectual feelings
of all and
of war and love I feel about Honestly by
even just the one that we discussed in
16 the intellectual code love and this
person doesn't have that capacity so how
can you say the word that's what's
bothering Delta Debbie here in chapter
18.
you know it is guest motion
not it's not it's not tavanuso
it'so there's a Hebrew word tevuna
now tadap in chapter 16 it's
no not bounty it comes from the word
Bina it comes from the word BINA
but it has a particular meaning in Tanya
it doesn't mean the Deep intellectual
understanding as in classical BINA
it means a understanding that's adequate
to oh to to to to move a person forward
okay so again think of the example you
understand that you you know that your
wife is important to you
you're not now contemplating like when
you go okay let's say when you go on
when you meet your wife
at that time you're using really Bina is
she the right person for me who am I who
is she you know you're really
intellectualizing the situation to come
to a determination whether she's the
right person for you once you're married
you're going to be in big trouble if you
do that
once you're married stop it philosophize
and intellectualizing you're married
nevertheless
if you don't have an understanding of
the day-to-day situations you're going
to run into trouble so the question is
the day-to-day situations what level of
understanding
for my wife must I have to generate the
feeling
that I that I should cooperate and work
with her not the feelings of you know
deep love and things like that that's
that's a whole different
scenario but just to be a mensch and
just to give your part the answer is the
basic understanding this is my wife
God blessed us we went under the we had
hope and condition we have children even
if we don't have children and all that
right we're building a home together
so those thoughts are not deep
intellectual thoughts they're more on
the Practical side but nevertheless
somebody should that the Practical side
that warrants some brains and that's why
unfortunately
people who are lacking you know you
didn't like Dr Rebels Russian they're
lacking the brains in their head meaning
they're that's the fact there's a lot of
issues
and I know I and you know you might I
don't want to go into this now because I
want to learn Tanya but you might you
might say well
am I blaming people who have shown bias
issues with being like dodos being
foolish stupid
uh in a way yes
in a way no
it's a very complicated area
but
what I've seen
is those people that that they think
before they act Maya Charlotte
usually usually have better shown bias
because right two people disagreeing
husband and wife I want it this way I
want it this way we should how should we
act with the kids this way what's right
it gets very very intense
and when when both spouses are able to
sit back and and it's hard and just you
know rationalize it think it out it
creates a much healthier situation and
that's what I meant
and there again there's no there's one
there's not just one rule there are
outside forces too
you know if a guy or a woman decides to
go and and meet other people then we're
not talking about that that's already
outside the pale of this discussion and
so the Alta remember saying here and
this answers the question
is referring to the basic understanding
that this is the right thing to do
here asks a question
as long as we positioned in the last two
chapters that there needs to be some
form of understanding that means you
have to create that understanding
you have to think so now his problem is
what if someone for whatever reason
doesn't have that ability
so I know probably you're wondering but
I'll probably just send a chapter before
Misha yes
implying everyone got brains in his head
so make up your mind out to remember in
chapter 17 you're saying as long as you
have brain in your head brings in your
head you should accomplish this
intellectual cold love
and in chapter 18 or the beginning it
says well what if someone is dietic
sorry he can't he can't he can't even
get to that and the answer is both both
are true God created all kinds of people
and there are some people and guess what
they cannot create this intellectual
love so the question is if that's the
case how can Hashem the time to say that
thyroid Mitzvahs is
so they'll throw up his questions is on
the word
means it's like you have to do nothing
just open your eyes and roll out of bed
and you're in
well
you're telling me the way to open my
eyes and roll it and and get in is
through understanding that I I should be
a man should I should make my bed and I
should clean up and as you put away
things and I should say thank you
but you have to you have to understand
that you're in a relationship and what a
relationship means and if you and if you
don't you won't you won't have those
feelings
this is what he's addressing here let's
continue now that Evan now says the
solution is Apple became cultivate love
our government even to such an
individual whose mind is short of
grasping the concept it's still close to
him very much so
I watched last season to do
columnisticated all the Mitzvahs the
commentator connected coulomb including
the learning of theta which corresponds
to all mitsubish with your mouth right
because it says
with your mouth well Torah has to be
learned with your mouth like we are now
learning with our mouths data we'll
build a Manish and then it says in your
heart in actuality
coming for the depth of your heart
with truth of Truth
all and love
so here he says the words this he refers
to he says I'm afraid referring to the
latent love okay and make a note there
ever Mr Terrace
we we translate it many times as hidden
love
um uh is Sir what it means is the latent
love that she he looked further should
be left closer all that with the heart
of all Jews
it's an inheritance that we got from our
ancestors of Rome is
after that episode is very simple he
says you know what
you know why current mitzvah's car of me
oid is very near you because we are
children of Abraham
and we got inheritance
I've run for inheritance you're not you
don't need to do anything
you just got to belong to the tribe
yeah there's one thing you have to do
not mess up
not getting away
because even if you have an inheritance
and you get in the way it don't go
nowhere but barring being you know
an obstacle Your Own Worst Enemy
everyone has an album of terrorists
so what is this album Mr Terrace Avi
what is this album is this album was
uterus is that a yeed loves God by
Nature just a matter of removing the
dust and letting the the the shama shine
in classical Chabad terms is the
pintolete okay you've heard that term
I'm sure the pinkvilla yet the
quintessential
aspect of of
ayed's connection to Hashem that's what
we call Optimus tennis
that you don't have to create
all you have to do is reveal it
such a powerful lesson
you're telling me you're arguing I don't
have the capacity the brain capacity the
mental capacity the patience the
interest to create the sense of love for
God and therefore the willingness to do
Terra Mitzvahs says down to that but you
don't have to create anything
just reveal Who You Are
review Who You Are
how do you review Who You Are
by thinking who you are see by thinking
who you are is not his bonus
okay I wanna this is a very important
quote that it really touched upon the
difference between impressive
his abundance meditation reflection and
contemplation is mind work and in the
Chabad model it's mind work
the album was a terrorists that he's
talking about is not mind work it's just
realizing Who You Are
realizing who you are doesn't doesn't
require knowing how God created the
world and why you created the world and
with what it created the world that's
all included in the his abundance in the
pride and that creates a feeling it
creates a position
when you talk about album was to tell us
the latent love that's in the heart of
every Jew it's just a matter of time of
letting it out
so again
if you're gonna do nothing it's not
coming out let's not get confused but
without the represent you if a person
will sit back and do nothing nothing's
gonna happen
of course you have to do something but
you don't have to create the love you
have to reveal what you have
we're going to be learning this chapter
and next chapter we're talking about
what's called avamasutenis the latent
love let's continue
now he says actually have them to
appreciate this we first must preface or
levia Krillin first explain they hate
them very well four things I want you to
make a one two three four number one
shadish Ava Zoo that's number one
this latent love what is its source
what do we mean
it says that kabbola is there that the
source of the Ava that's generated by
Seiko which we call Ava bisgados is
being a Shepherd now BINA
God's been
right binom is understanding so since
there's a source for for God called
enough it it translates itself in the
nafisha Adam in The Human Condition in
the human soul to understand God creates
that relationship
that's the source of the avabisgauss the
generative love
but Donald Trump is question is what's
the source of this love if you tell him
this love is latent where does it come
from that's number one
number two is the words
in younger means it's topic it's idea
the second point out that episode we
have to explore is what's the objective
of this love
that's number two
and this is going to be explained later
so let's go on
number three
how is it that this love whatever this
love is and whatever its objective is
I'm sorry whatever this loves comes from
whatever it's strange is that's Point
number one point number two what's
whatever is subjective is question Point
number three is how is it a yerusha
you're telling me it's a it's
inheritance really why what if we do to
get this inheritance what's our
relationship with our of us and our Emos
that's really the question
and point number four
how is it that in this type of late love
it also incorporates
also on all and fear for God
If It's Love It Ain't fear if it's fear
it ain't love but yet we say here that
this Love Somehow leads a person to not
only loving God but fearing God how is
this
fear how is this love generate not only
a love feeling for God
but a fear feeling for God that is
fourth
point that needs clarification okay
here's an example just for the moment to
have it
I have a very it's a one-liner a one and
a half liner and it's loaded
that's why you need a teacher
right you can read these words I promise
you won't know what you can read it and
I bet you every
just rattles it off and
one two three
I'm making a generalization
but when you learn it deeply and
methodically and you especially and you
have training in Tanya from your
teachers and your teacher teachers and
their and the remember clarified a lot
of these issues as well it's four
separate ideas
and each one needs clarification
so the outlet begins now interesting to
explain Point number three
which starts explaining right he says we
need to First preface
to understand these four points which of
the first points does he explain Abram
Point number three which is Jerusalem
and what does he say I'll just say it
outside briefly basically because
there's going to be a lot of Kabbalah
coming up the altenebo says basically
you should know like this
this is a yerusha
because we got it from our fathers and
our mothers
and
why is this important
each one of us has character character
traits from our parents we inherit yep
no we see it all the time all the time
not only facial features but character
traits that our parents had grandparents
yeah
your father liked uh a certain President
Truman
and now you're studying University about
the presidents and you come to the
conclusion that you don't like him
you're telling me because my father
liked President Truman I have to like
President Truman
so
the answer is no
so why is it if
like God I must like God
in other words the question here is when
we say that loving Hashem and fearing
our shed
is a yerusha's inheritance from our
ancestors
right the question is
seemingly doesn't make sense
because they love God I have to love God
I like chicken
I like to golf
what
one sec one sec what's the answer what's
the answer
the content of what you like and what
your parents like is very different
but the idea that you have a soul that
likes that's similar
so Maisha when we say we inherit it from
our foreign
now once you have a soul the soul has
the ability to love God you have to find
it
so the answer is Abram that the
particular
expression of the love is up to the
individual who comes to a conclusion
that loving God is where it's at just
like abramov
but even to be able to do that you need
to have to drive within yourself in
other words in the computer if you don't
have the egg right the B Drive the C
drive or whatever they call him today
your computer cannot function if you
don't have enough memory you can't
download
so the the the the the the memory chip
and the ram right and all that I'm using
the example the computer is similar to
what we're learning here the eurusha
we got the set of inheritance now guess
what what you do with your computer what
you see on your computer and how and
what you and what you choose to download
and not download and if you have too
much of this you don't have room for
that that's up to you
yes my shirt
it's okay mate the question I had
okay so let's now learn insight
and here again Dr clever quotes of
madrish it's not it's a very important
Methodist it's not found often see this
it is not not elsewhere really as much
America
Isha did you see this
madrish quoted in any other Hasidic
safer
right and and to see the show took it
from Tanya that's fine he learned a lot
of Tanya it's fine
it's right here down to Deb I think is
the first one who kind of
quotes this message the avos the
forefathers the image
they are
they are a chariot to God what does that
mean of Avi it means to say that God
rides through them
because they they they they they
humiliate they um they they they they
caused the beetle they they had
subservience in their life to Hashem and
to the point where their existence
didn't exist in the sense of ego and all
that so they become a chariot so like
the the wagon and the horses are go
where the wagon driver the Wagoneer
wants to go so then we use the concept
America
that's that's the that's the end quote
of this message
says number one every Jew must know that
hey of us
about game
and therefore
in other words the amazing
paid their dues
don't think that our ancestors didn't
have to work hard to become America
Chariot for God of alkane the languages
came and therefore
they married it
to draw down the the soul Spirit soul
to their children their offspring who
follow them for
eternity
you could be in Las Vegas and you can be
in Chicago and you can be whatever doing
whatever you're doing it guess what if
you're a Jew
you have a gift you have a yerusha that
you have nothing to do with it
it was given to you as a inheritance
and those that gave it to you were able
to give it to you because of their hard
work and such a powerful lesson for our
kids and grandkids
you know next Generation really smarter
than the previous generations we went
that way too right guys
remember we're standing on the feet of
our parents and grandparents and
ancestors okay big talker
so because
they became such a Kaylee such a vessel
for godliness Hashem gave them
and it's such a powerless host that for
the next
for eternity thousands of years until
now and forever else
Hashem says every Jew has an ashama
every Jew
you can't buy in the showman Walmart it
doesn't work
you can buy it then you can publish it
and then you know it's like buying
if items used to be in Sears and right
whatever
a week two three later it's broken I
don't mean that's here serious grounded
I think was pretty good but the idea is
quality
speaks louder than everything else
the the illusion that we got from avrami
from Yahoo
is a quality one because they work very
hard for it and we have that let's
continue inside
now is going to now give us some
capitalistic
reference to where this the shama that
we have where does it come from from the
ten Holy Spirits
within the four worlds
to every individual joke based on this
level based on his actions
and at least I feel the cultural even a
lenient of the lenient the biggest
sinner
whatever
referred to years ago
as George Soros and I'm not saying he's
the biggest sinner but I recall that
conversation Johnny
even a George Soros Kyle Sheba Khalid
and a sinner
named
when the parents of George Soros if they
both indeed were Jews
through their civil through their Union
they draw down nephesh the nephes the
bokos the soul of the soul of the level
of muscles that sea of the world of
action the fourth world
from the lowest level of holiness
that's why
the guy
they're not religious and there may be
anti-religious but guess what they have
a soul they have in the shama it's a
very very the soul has been it's very it
comes from a low place within the
godhead
but I hope again
nevertheless since where does it come
from
the ten holy spirits who clula mikulam
it incorporates all other levels
even from the highest level known as
in other words the level of the highest
world called upsilis is enclosed
anyway this is just like a uh um a uh
the pipelines which says in cabal of how
the soul goes from this
experience to the next experience
the bottom line is going to explain some
more is where God rests and so even the
lowest level
has this aspects God
sustain founded the world with
and all of uh action is sustainable
we understand from this
is
that the infinite God isn't clothed in
the wisdom within the soul of them yeah
whoever it is
foreign
any Jew every Jew has it
made himself
and this level of
extends itself
throughout the rest of the soul to
environment
says
wisdom enlivens it's its Masters type of
dalit and we'll finish with this well
the poem look at this dependencies in
Brackets very powerful sometimes
Sinners of Israel they draw down nishama
is
very lofty souls to their children
that was captured in the clipples
so if you ever wondering how is it
the parents or a parent was a low life
or his you know whatever
has a child
son a daughter who becomes a gift to the
Jewish people right here
right here from the same here
souls are sometimes captured in slavery
and for whatever reason again this is a
god decides
I'm going to filter a special Soul
through these parents
and I think it's also a very important
lesson always be respectful to your
parents even if you disagree with them
and even if you have issues
and you know there are issues
relationships
you know my father wasn't fair to me my
mother was this you know I mean we know
what life is and we know what we go
through now terebia quotes the safer uh
that sometimes a father a mother who is
a low life
a sinner
gives to the
child children something that was it
closed up locked up
and they become a star
and we don't know this so we can't play
a game hey uh we're gonna figure out
who's supposed
that's ridiculous
but it's important to to and again does
that mean to say
that you should
put the poche on the wall and give them
you know become the president of the
shoe and and and and and and and and and
and March around with them not
necessarily
but but to yourself
to ourselves we need to know this idea
and it's an important idea to think
about special about parents and
grandparents because when you look back
at your history especially if you study
it especially if you know it and and you
say well my grandfather was a simple Jew
in Greece in Ukraine in in here and
there you know
okay he kept our mistress uh you know
what
what cycle did he have with advancing
the Toyota and the answer could be
because of him
you're he had your parents and your
parents or your father your mother had
you so at the end of the day he unlocked
a soul
this is this is a very capitalistic
concept that's why it's in Brackets in
the Tanya
here's message is if it is an important
message in the up till now the chapter
and that is that that the Yiddish and
the shama is a yerusha as an inheritance
to ever eat and you all know that the Le
babic all of our Rebellion especially
lived with this dictum and he believed
it
he believed that a million percent
and give you hundreds of examples
where where people questioned him and
brought Zohar and brought the gamara and
brought this
and there ever usually he would even
address those he had a way of explaining
that but even if not
it didn't change the situation that a
yid is a yield
there's that here if you if you're
wondering where does the the ideology of
Chabad
to be to be conditionalist real Chabad
no strings attached every Eid comes from
this chapter what we learned now in
chapter 18 and Tanya that's why the
Tanya is the magnum opus the Bible of of
and considers too because that's what
the Belgium was about
alternative explained it in a general
way and the ultimate came in you know
itemized it in using the ideas of Seiko
to support its artist position as you
see here
so this is the answer to the third Quest
point of the altareba which is again to
read
how is it that this is a an inheritance
what's the answer
yaakov they gave it to us because they
worked hard look at those words I just
love those words alkane
therefore they were given us
and just finally that's also another
point for us to to to think about
when you do hard work Hashem will give
you a Swiss that your children and
grandchildren will
go in the way of Hashem
so you know we we look at the Next
Generation my wife was saying you know
you know about grandchildren you know
this issue and that issue
you know
I'm a father I'm not a grand I'm a
grandfather at this point what can I do
sure if I if I chance to educate
thing out with them and to share things
that I learned and I heard and and all
that it's a great great way of impacting
grandchildren
but but remember the end of the day you
need a schools
a big groaner a label Groner was like
such a close Secretary of the Rebel he
said he's not you know he's worried
about his grandchildren
you know what are they going to look
like
you know in 20 years in 30 years
I remember when I made
where a mental photographs came to my
house in Marin County in 1988.
so at that time I talked about a big
camcorder uh from Sears
the big bulky ones if you guys remember
like this you know
I took family videos that I really
wanted to have memories I have I have
those
and it took you know on my part it took
a lot of time you know what I'm saying
and people say no you're walking around
with a camera and I didn't care because
I looked at 30 years down the road
and people are thankful that I got some
older hasidim on that as well
so remember sitting at my table with
Rabbi right chick
they came to the Bay Area to raise funds
so they stayed with me because they're
Mendel and my wife's grandmother were
brother and sisters so he said he wants
to spend the night with us because he
doesn't get to he won't get to Australia
he's too old he doesn't have the money
and his sister nudges him to come see
her see her she didn't have the clay off
to go she wasn't well so he says I'll be
yitza I'll fulfill my obligation by
staying by your granddaughter one night
so he called me to say he'd like to stay
by us
it's a very you know very smart guy
person anyway so he's about to start
diving and I put on the table on my
dining room table this big camera facing
him
and he looks at me you know any any
because very seriously he says nemesavec
Yiddish meaning take it away
when you made of them
you know who here's his own crushes
we're gonna now take certain video of
him they hated it okay
and guess what Hein dolphin said to his
great uncle
right into his face like I'm talking to
you I'm not ignored away
so first of all you couldn't believe
that this little American poop head
excuse the expression this this nothing
you know this 23 year old is speaking to
an 80 year old 82 year old this way
right
and then he says
why not
in other words without saying it you
know that it's not the way we see them
behave videoing us what are you out of
your mind
where do you come from from from
another from other places don't this
don't work this is the worst sin giving
someone this recognition so I said to
him
the fact that you know you call them
fatimental Uncle Mendel Fetter Mendel if
real I want that my children my king
didn't
in 20 years should have a to be able to
see a real husband that's what I told
him and that's one video on you
so he said to me
they have the rabbit response
what what are you looking at me I'm a
nothing remembers says right he only sat
nine years
for for you this guy in Siberia right
so I said
the rep is one thing
or another thing
and 20 years to the year
don't ask me how I decided to publicize
and give out this this video which today
is available in Hebrew and in English
and it's online you can see it online
that happened what am I saying why am I
telling you the story because because
[Music]
that something fell into my head 20
years before in 88 so that 20 years
later I was able to give it out to the
world
the same thing with with grandchildren
you you don't know
saying what am I worried about I'm
worried about my grandchildren that they
should continue in the way of Taylor
Mitzvahs in this case khabad and all
that
so you need us and that we should never
forget that we should you know you can't
buy your schools yeah there's one way
you can buy it by hard work when you
give hard work and you invest in your
Avail and your title mixes and your
husband and everything else it's a
squish for you and your wife and guess
what it then filters down for the future
Generations
Kevin have a great Shabbos ballet school
ignite Terminator
be on fire and we'll see you all Monday
Mr Shalom bye good job
