let's let's get started okay good
morning we're on page
35 in the mimer this is the last chapter
of the ice and in this size you'll see
how the frida kadaba
is subtly alluding to the time in which
he said the moment which was rosh
hashanah 1941
and we know that was you know during the
holocaust and everything that that
brought with it
so bear that in mind as we
learned the last chapter this week
before
before this chapter that ever spoke
about the importance of archdus
of unity and he spoke about it um
not only do they get along but
they complete each streeter completes
the other one
and that's how he explained the possibly
any and he brought the the
interpretation of the word
you shouldn't which has various
interpretations but here it brings the
taj
that shouldn't means right yashar
right and proper path go straight
so he says that the idea of going
straight is to bring everything together
and show how one
complements the other and one without
the others is lacking something
that's what we're up to
again page 35.
so also in spiritual matters
in regard to the nishamas the souls
yes
he says there are such quality the
shamans that we call them
who for example are such the shamans the
heads of the jewish people
the behead valodem through these souls
the the the leaders of the jewish people
they draw the spiritual sustenance
to all other souls of the generation
you need a conduit to
be mamshyk to draw the hashbow
why why do you need my sherkhand do it
because the hashbar can be very
overwhelming
and if it's not filtered properly and
not allocated properly
it's a wasted experience so
the russia alpha israel they're experts
in drawing this down and number two
communicating it properly to all the
other nostroms
boys
just as what's in the
head in the brain there is the
there is the highest the vitality right
but it takes
sorry there is the highest that hashem
gives to the person
but it takes the head to
allocate it properly to each part of the
body
the holy voting to each part of the body
and that's why god forbid
if there's a problem with the head with
the brain
we all know the seriousness
of the issue why because either there's
too much flow going to the limbs
or god forbid there's too little flow
going to the brain
into the limbs and that's where you have
dementia
and alzheimer's and all kinds of issues
so it all begins with the rush
if the rush is healthy and it's amazing
as we all know
the the the wondrous way akades barco
made the head the brain
the nerve center that it knows kind of
automatically from birth on
if barring any problems it knows how
much to give to the finger
and how much to give to the eyes etc etc
so it's all up to the rush the nerve
center that's how important it is
to protect your rush just
just parenthetically this also points to
the fact that
if you occupy your mind
your head with some with substantial
things
with holy things with good things
automatically other parts of the body
are going to benefit
if you occupy your mind with stusem with
nonsense of all kinds
other parts of the body are also going
to um
[Music]
benefit from that in in in not a healthy
way
and this is the interpretation as you
all know
rashi
the pit in which joseph was thrown into
had no water
water comes rashi and says the
implication is
there were snakes and scorpions there
wasn't water whatever so it implies
there was something else
so the facili the touch that's that
that's brought
that if you cup if your head a boy rake
if you're
the brain this means the cup the head is
empty
aimed by mayam it doesn't have tata in
it automatically
snakes and scorpions find themselves
there
so if you wonder sometimes why
it is that a child or a person
you know gravitates to to
foolishness and and hurtful things etc
it's because i aim by mayan and again
mine classically means tighter one
second
mayan classically means tighter but even
if it's let's say
sciences and mathematics fill the head
with with with value valuable
information
if you have valuable information you
know
usually you you'll stay to the script
and you'll stay
pretty normal you know tita makes you
normal but at least you'll be on the
path of normalcy
but if you don't have your head full of
mayam of tata
automatically the snakes and the
scorpions creep
up it's you know we wonder sometimes
well how did he get into this how did
she become this way
what happened over here and by maya now
there's another issue sometimes a child
doesn't gravitate to the mayan and
that's another issue that needs to be
looked at
and and dealt with and the answer is
without going into now this discussion
which you know i can talk about for a
long time and that is
you need to bond bonding at that time
you have to put aside your kind of
torah you know um legalistic
and you have to go biking with your son
and daughter and go play
and play golf if you play golf and go
bowling and eat pizza together
and schmooze and and lay on the floor
and and and and and like uh you know
cuddle up and you know what i'm saying
and just be
bonding and when they feel good about
the bonding usually
usually it goes a long way
and i've seen this you know in my in my
own family i've seen it with students
you know i don't want to mention names
but there are people today who are
prominent
and what did i do when i was an older
teenager with them i just
spent a lot of time with them just
hanging out and schmoozing
and you know just becoming their friend
so we're talking here about the impact
of the
rosh on the rest of the body
that the rosh has to be healthy it
includes this too hilo you're
on i just wanted to
to share with with that torah about the
border
that i once attended a seminar with a
very prominent
uh psychoanalyst from the tradition of
what's called jungian psychoanalysis
jung was a
student of freud who split from freud
and but they both
emphasized dreams a great deal right
so this this union his
his shita was if you would tell him a
dream and that's the essence of his
therapy was
to talk about dreams hell of a dream he
would ask
is there a snake in it
and if you said that it wasn't a snake
in it he'd ask you to look again
keep looking
that's so interesting it's not my
mahala but i thought i'd pass it off but
see he jewish no he was not jewish
neither was young right okay
back to the text
okay
so this was all an extension of
explaining to us
that there are certain the shambles that
are called rosh neshamas the head the
heads of the jewish people
now he says the yesh nashoma is their
other souls
[Music]
the rabbit says you should know even in
these new shamans
they are very great and mighty virtues
to these
shambles very much
they're so virtuous and they have
something that their heads don't have
that they are considered heads over to
the shamans that we set before our heads
the little man the little person was
insecure seems to be insignificant
has also something that makes him so
special
that makes him a rosh compared to those
big leaders and all that
i know
that ebb explains these the shamas who
we call
quote reggae foot
souls not head souls foot souls
hey mash lima says look at the word
the great souls that i rush without the
foot soldiers without the regal
they're not complete i don't care how
holy
and what they do you must have the
regulation
souls who outwardly if you give a kick
to foot it doesn't hurt much
a little uh about your
okay so go further
because of the moisture as we see
written by mashallah banu
quote
[Music]
i am among six hundred thousand
foot soldiers so
jainism hashem calls the people the
jewish people
foot soldiers i'm sorry mushroom that
calls
the the jewish nation foot soldiers and
he says
the kid by stands amongst you which
means
that he as the rosh is amongst the six
hundred thousands
the the jewish souls are considered fit
in comparison
which is considered the head the god is
so
in comparison to the jewish people's
souls
was the most modest person on the face
of the earth
why because the moisture
see fresh autumn of the edition moishe
had a peek into the book of
adam first man adam
and moises saw the leaders of each jar
he saw that jainism
hilda's healing i am i and all of us are
on what we do and everything he saw
and then he took a look in the book and
he saw the
the generation that's called the heels
of the mashiach
[Music]
they won't really have an understanding
and comprehension of godliness
um
especially if you compare the people
during that generation the heels of
mashiach
compared to the level of moisture my
friends
we're interested in basics survival
life we're good people and everything
but you know
you know those things talk to us not
more
if you've made the self-sacrifice and
given and and given away everything you
have in america and made aliyah
antarctica it's wonderful but
nevertheless let's not kid ourselves
we're not we're not we're not we're not
just
godly and eating godliness and thinking
god was you got to survive
you got to put food on the table you
have to have gas in the car
like rabbi josh gordon there'll be a
show of gordon over show them from the
valley
who speaks who teaches us
he once uh said i think i once spoke to
him and he said
you know it was an issue between myself
and some of the congregants about them
giving a kid a chevy shabbos and the
congregation said you have to have a
kidney chevy shabbos and i said i agree
but if we don't have the funds for a kid
the chevy shabbos
house must have a kidney show so josh
said to me you have to open the
refrigerator
and there's supposed to be a filter fish
there and if there's no filter fish
you can't make a cutish so you tell them
that they should make sure to pay for
the
filters or put the filter fish in then
you can give the filter fish at the
kiddish
so we are at a time when we're
we're concerned about the filter fish
and for good reasons
because you want to give a kiddish but
the work one second hill the work times
there were times that somehow
they weren't that wasn't so they didn't
have to filter fish you know what they
did
you know they say about khasid
hasidim used a brain in the heart in
russian during the hard times
and they had a an empty little bottle of
vodka on the table because they couldn't
they didn't couldn't afford sometimes
the vodka
they couldn't get the vodka but it's a
fabrengan you have to say the
so they had an empty bottle that there
was there from the last rebranding
so they put the empty bottle on the
table to symbolize
yes hello i just wanted to comment
um that when i first moved here and
began to dominate the
age code the champion to learn the safer
ish kodesh which were the talks that the
piece that's the repligate and the
warsaw ghetto
and one of the la one of the very
startling moments for me i think was
precious acad
when he talks he gives a torah about the
light that starts in darkness and i
think it was given in 1939 or 1940
when the nazi invasion had already begun
or was was imminent
and he talked about the light and
darkness and he
uh he then writes as a footnote
in his in his safer he said i could give
that this kind of torah this year
he said by the next year parshasekam
everybody was so preoccupied
but with their own survival that i
couldn't
speak over this kind of an idea
and he said and by the next year parts
of sake if nobody was coming to sell it
through this
yeah yeah it's heartbreaking and i
looked up
you know i looked up as you know sort of
feeling the pss the rebels watching his
world
being destroyed and dreaming that one
day it would be rebuilt and i looked up
and i see the
you know the the uh the towering
escape of the age code schule
i felt like i was living inside his his
dream
at that moment they ain't you explode
right i i i like to share that yeah no
thank you thank you
i hear what you're saying right right
so the rebbe here talks baklav the
klalut
if you compare the the
shamans of ikvision compared to the
shamans of
being it's not it's not a comparison
never
excuse me nevertheless
look at the words here these are very
very heavy words
four words the enzyme
it's con it is not it's it's considered
nothing i mean that's that's a heavy
expression
to say that the the the
the shamans today of vikram
what we're occupied with is nothing
compared to the shamans of mashallah
banu
and that time when it was all about
havana bellocus
that's what he says
so remember moshe rabeno is looking into
other mauritians
safer so he sees this
on one hand on the other hand
of all
there are those people during the times
of the hills of mashiach that are
met people of self-sacrifice but poe
in actuality
mitzvahs you see how he's alluding to
what's going on in russia and in poland
1941. they have self-sacrifice like you
just spoke about
that but such and not only him those
all the eden just to survive
under the conditions etc
the head feels the issues of all the
limbs
i feel like him even the
nails on the toe the toes
even that the head feels if there is
something not
uncomfortable or painful it touches the
head
so he may be yours she said oh yeah also
since moshe was the head of israel
heregish as israel
he felt the virtue of the jewish people
hapshutim the simpletons
those that have self-sacrifice the
gaydol
and moshe saw and under and felt
the great pleasure shalom
that heaven has may avoid some
from their activity and service to
hashem
this is what so it's interesting maisha
is looking into a book of other maritime
and he sees the souls of all the
generations and he sees how devouting
they were in the beginning
in having understanding analytics
he compares that to the generation
where that's not the interest and
simultaneously he sees
that gets a big high
and in a way a greater high from
simpletons
because they have mercedes
and this is why he was humbled by
ishmael
because he said i with my flute and toot
and high
great accomplishments am gornish
[Music]
you and what you guys represent is all
intellectualism
great intellectualism whole
intellectualism but at the end of the
day
if you confront you have to go outside
and
and and fight for being a yid
you're not there there's no one to talk
to because the seiko
the mangione says it doesn't make sense
right doesn't make sense give up one
for a thousand you have one israeli
soldier who's captured by the
palestinians
right and yet you want to you want and
you want to free
500 soldiers so you know and then
doesn't make sense no
but what do we say that one yiddish in
the sharma one yiddha who's captured is
worth more than
all of those enemies
so mesiras nefish
and a soldier by the way who defends the
country
that ever said religious or not
religious
that abbot didn't specify but he meant
everyone
is already a palmer citizen fish and
those of you who
who who have or know people who have
kids or grandkids on the front know
exactly what i'm talking about
okay and it's not only when there's war
but it's every day it's a mercedes-benz
so the mercedes nephesh
talks higher than anything else
everything else is cheap talk
it really is you know i live here and
you guys live in bethemish and we're
surrounded with shoes and
learning and it's beautiful and only
more
hashem but at the same time
take a look at you know what's going on
in
in great in the greater world where
there there are lost
jews all over till today don't think
that there's still
there aren't lost jews in nebraska and
wyoming and in chicago and in new york
and in brooklyn
and the back chambers there are and i'm
not even talking about those of our own
family
or friends who you know have for
temporarily taking hiatus from
from from kite i'm not talking about
them talking about those people who
didn't grow up
not knowing so the maestro
banu is humbled because of them
why because when they're made aware of
who they
are they they have mercedes snapfish
i sent you guys yesterday a clip from
kaine fogelman
uh made a song and singing before this
rabbi salman khan
i sent it i believe if you haven't heard
it take listen to it because there's a
message it's a story
of rabbi groener from australia
and who was in charge of printing the
rebbe's talks
i i didn't get all of it because i
frankly didn't pay attention enough
but i think conan gave him some
pamphlets of the rebbe's talks to take
with him on his trip back to
to australia and on the way i think he
he would the river asked to stop in
bombay
and he did and he left some of those
talks there
and and the song that the story goes
that there was jewish a jewish kid who
came from arizona somewhere
and he picked himself up one day and he
said i'm out of here.
and for two weeks his parents didn't
know where he is and they were worried
and finally got a letter
from him saying i'm alive but i'm in
in india and you know i i i don't want
any more part of
this culture you know and he's there
and one day he's either sitting by the
water or somewhere he's on his own
and he can't believe it he sees some
english writing and he takes a look
and it's it's it's the secret it's what
the
it's what it's what he doesn't know what
to say he starts reading about a jew
and about a soul he starts reading
and and he and and he cat and he and it
dawns on him
that him that he's a jew and here he is
in bombay and he's at the waters by
himself
you know and the rest is history
and does truva comes back to america his
parents
and he wants to know what does it mean
to be a jew so this is still
you know we we we we tend to forget
because we live you know
in our front communities and we're
involved with those things
but there's still millions of yidden
that are still assimilated and don't
know from another from the base
and then ever says that my should
albania was humbled because of them
what does that mean how come i should
have better be humbled
from someone who doesn't know from an
elephant base and the answer is because
the potential of merciless nephesh and
and doing it for the cause
and i remind myself something that
someone who you know but i'm not going
to say
from betchamish who told me the
the first when i was there three years
ago
i asked him how he became about to
shuver because his
his grandfather was a from jew davening
in alabama to show
in the 1920s in the section called
brownsville which is not far from crown
heights
and it was called at that time in the
twenties the yerushalayim
of america was brownsville
brooklyn hundreds of steve luck and
schulz and
hustling bustling with either skype
and he grew up you know not knowing from
an aleph in a base
and he met a friend of mine who was
offering people to put on
filling i think at city college at some
college or maybe columbia i forget
somewhere
he says would you like to put on film he
says i don't know what you're talking
about
he says you're jewish he says yeah i'm
jewish but i don't know what you're
talking about he never
knew about film nothing i think his
parents were already
bundes i think they already gravitated
you know
so he tells him that the torah says
hashem says that a yi should put on film
every day
so he asks him what is the toyota
he says the terrorist gods
tell you that he wants us the entire
world is eaten to
and it's called a mitzvah he says what's
a mitzvah
a commandment connects you to a
commander and he wants you to put on
these
these loops on your hand and on your
head and to say a prayer shema israel
he says okay and that
so he said to me that no one until then
told them that there was kind of a god
not that there's a god and he want this
disappoint he wants something from you
that there's god he's hurt debated there
is god god for but there isn't god you
don't know that
but when he heard that there is a god
and that this god wants something from
me
and this is what he wants from me to put
on these things
that's when he decided i want to do what
god wants and he became about teshuva
and he has a beautiful family
so this is he so here's an example
someone who doesn't know from anything
and martial is jealous of him
and mushroom becomes an enough
modest because of that you because my
imaginable knows about trillium
imaginable knows about all the cavanas
of trillium
so moshe albano's commitment is not
yet 100
sure that it's
genuine within genuine it's genuine
mushroom who's greater than my benu but
nevertheless
there is that little little part in the
brain
that says i understand it and i relate
to it that's why i do it
but someone who did not relate to it who
doesn't understand it it wasn't raised
that way
and does it why she says wow
you're ready to put on twilight
even though you didn't go to yeshiva
even though you didn't wash necklace
this morning or whatever
it doesn't make any sense and if that's
the case i see there's something
in you that's pristine
that's pure and there is no
schmutz on it and i want that
and i'm jealous jealous in a positive
way
i'm humbled by it and that's why
we go back to the mimer it says here
is
three things the simple ones the ones
with self-sacrifice
and the ones who cause such great
pleasure
in heaven to heaven
um and this
was this was what
his humility consisted of
next page 36
[Music]
they are greater than the
understanding and depth within holy
course within godliness
because the head feels moshe
all of the limbs let me ask you
yoni if you have a leader
who doesn't show concern and feel
the issues that the subjects
each and every subject
he doesn't feel for it then he's a weak
schwa
leader he's not really a leader for
everyone
he's a leader for those people that
correspond
to his leadership ideas
a real leader is someone who
is a leader for people
who are really in a way antithetical
to his leadership ideas and even those
and even those people he's concerned
about
that's a real rosh that's a real real
leader you know i was reading about the
altar
the altar there was certain arabs hillel
hasidic rap isn't going out back on 200
years you should know
that they were upset if you were part of
their
hasidis and then you left to another
rapper
they were bent out of shape okay i mean
this i'm not talking now
you could study this okay
the alta rabbit there was some hasidim
that kingdom said you know this and this
khasid
he was here but then he went to the left
of the church
or to the carolina right
or to this rabbit the chernobyl
what kind of loyalty is that and the
altar
said that's not my issue that's not my
issue let them
go to wherever they want
and the altar specifically this is very
important because sometimes people
attack lebavich today
that they're very you know one-sided and
only they're the best and they're red
and all that
if you go back historically it's
factually wrong
so if anyone does that today they're
also wrong
the barbecue because historically the
balatanya
clearly told his
people let everyone choose
whichever rebbe and hasidis they want
even if they were here before
we do not have a monopoly over
a person's soul because being a hostage
of a certain
is a soul thing it doesn't come from
eating luxian and potato cooked
together it doesn't and if it does
it's problematic a rebbe
and a husset is a soul connection and if
you feel something you feel an affinity
it's special you know i um i told you
that i met
i spoke to a certain role who made
aliyah then came back
to america and in the middle of my
conversation i was talking to him about
the tales
and in the middle of our conversation he
somehow the tone the rebber
i think was the toner rebecca came up he
he mentioned it to me
and any any and he basically told me
he's a closet of telling the rebels i
said then
you're a hustler of the telner ripper
you're a lit i mean you come
you know you you you like hasidim and
you like learning
but you're and imam ish and the man is
80 or 85 years old the man is not you
know
he was in jerusalem and he and he
was in charge right there
the heart of the lion and somehow he he
got he became aware of the telling the
rebel and he started to go
to here and he just and he told me i'm a
hustler toner
beard no beard i have no idea maybe he
has a beard today i don't know
but what am i saying what what i saw was
very interesting and i
in 2020
a person who is a talmud
an author a scholar with a history
you know he's not uh you know he's not
from today's
you know he has a pedigree
and he comes to a deep feeling
that he wants to his neshama wants to
gravitate
to identify with this particular sadiq
that was so refreshing to see
that this idea of rebbe and hosit
is a living organism
it's not something from the past you
know with the balshemptov and the maggid
once upon a time
and they must not them you know all
these things right no
it's jerusalem 2020
a jew was raised like a litvak studied
the literature yeshivas
and is 80 years old and says i need
something more for my
my shama and he finds a person who
identifies with
you know to me this was an eye opener
and a very important one and a very
beautiful one
so why why am i saying this because my
should have been
one second here motion albano
if you pay attention to someone if he's
really a mashed up menu
he cares about every single year
there's no such a thing that one year is
better than other and on the contrary
the more simple the jew is that need is
more plugged in because of
everything in self-sacrifice and
everything else yes hello
i just i just want to say i gotta run so
i want to wish everybody well
thank you okay we're gonna end here
everyone zaiga zoomed and we'll see
everyone tomorrow good learning take
care
have a great day
