Tanya #13 Where does a Jewish Soul come from? Yud Shevat - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

So today we're learning Tanya we're in the middle of painting base chapter 2 page 12. and today we're going to learn in the text uh where yesterday we began learning the nephe Hashem Israel the second soul is actually a part of Hashem it's the most literal form it's not God it's godliness that would be a basic difference between the heretical view of Spinosa and the kosher Jewish view of Thailand also it's called the second Soul he would think that the Jewish Soul should be the first Soul not the second and technically literally the answer for that is because the nashama is revealed to the Jew at barambas Mitzvah whereas the Napa is is revealed to the Jewel from the moment they uh they they come on Earth and they begin their um journey and that's why we call it nephe Hashem Israel now let's go further so we learned yesterday that this the Sham is mamish right so now that ever brings so now he brings a posse in the in in the theater to support that commercial call so as it says Hashem blue within the nostrils of of the mauritian of Adam the first man this a living soul so what do we see we see that he blew why did it say he blew why does it say he gave so in a moment also it says have blown within me so again we find the language of nafika you know why the language of Norfolk is used because Norfolk implies it comes from the inside we could speak and speak and speak and we don't get tired but you just blow a little bit you exhale you blow you get tired very quickly why from the innermost and that's uh that's a tiresome experience because it it warrants um a deep introspection and it it it it challenges you and it tires you whereas speaking is considered Chinese external so you have to remember this when you said this that the difference between nephejo and Depot is the difference between externality which is the Chinese and panemius which is intern internally so the altarapa says here quoting the zayat the desire says that when you blow you blow from the paninias from the inside Peter now the pirush is the altarebus words right okay when you see him say Peter you know that he's now adding his commentary and insight to explain the Zaya what does the altitude say s hi I'm a living Soul it came from the innermost aspect of Hashem the panemias of God the most inner Vitality within man might say beneficial was expressed by God when he blew with power with strength exerting himself metaphorically speaking giving other a living soul this the outed brings to ex as a support for his concept of and and just to explain in continuation of yesterday's year mamash implies tangibility the most difficult thing is to bring God into the real world into the tangible world like we explained at length yesterday I'm going to ask the question and we explained that length that you could dominate you could learn but then when you go out on the street or you have to act like a you know when someone confronts you or someone berates you and all of that the proof is the pudding how do you react you're the best in this year and when it comes to you you mentioned me this time is the behavior you're an animal what happened to you tada what happened to your stuck up what happened to your sitting up front at mizrach what happened over here the answer is it's not mamish it's not real yet that's what my shemamish means Hashem says this the shama that I'm giving you its purpose is to be realized in Manish and it can be realized and mama's so that when you do them when you do a an act that's that's that's Godly in the real world that's God people say I want to find God where is God when's the last time I I saw God or I spoke to God or I smelled God guess what you just haven't he just gave the doctor you just put on film he put on a mezuzah you said hello to someone if you did it with anemius that's Hashem Hashem you know we this is one of the problems and I told you the story in Berkeley walking with a college student home one church I remember one shoppers and I I start speaking to this girl this college student was walking along with a rabbi to his house for Shabbos meal and uh I started speaking about God existence of God he says oh no no no please please Rabbi I I don't believe in God this is not you know that's I don't God that's not in my lexicon so right away I made a quick uh quick U-turn I said oh yeah I'm sorry you're right but uh what about a force an energy do you do you relate to that a force of course energy wow it's getting better you understand it's all in the semantics the change of God the force and energy she's your best friend and she's willing to listen to you you say God I I you're the old man with the white beard of the black beard with the pants and the yamaka you Antiquated you don't belongs berserkley you know maybe in Evanston Chicago to let you go but in the radical colleges you know sorry right what you're gonna tell me Evanston is a radical College too much oh I'm gonna tell you that that I experience with people with this type of issue is they get this feeling people so many people especially more more today they don't want to be told what to do and they're like God it's like well if there's God then there's some sort of I have responsibility to tell me what to do it's Force and it's kind of like it's it's it's whatever I feel it is it's whatever I make it it's whatever I'm it's whatever it's whatever I'm comfortable with I don't have to go to go out of my comfort zone yes yes yes indeed you're right indeed you're right let's go back to the text that's mamish the Titus says in the beginning when God created man Adam first men he blew within his nostrils so what do you mean it's such a it's so metaphoric those words I mean it's so strange it's such a it's such a strange way of saying God gave men a soul right I I want to give you something is sir I say I give it to you none I blew within you something I mean in today's vernacular it sounds kind of very uh you know inappropriate I blew you okay I'm leaving at that but that's what it says you laughing my she's laughing he knows exactly what we're talking about but that's what it says what does it mean and pack it why didn't I said the holy Zaya this isn't my observation it's the observation of desire and out there besides it here says the reason why Hashem chose this strange word to imply that God gave adam a soul is to imply that the soul comes from the premiers and this is very negay into this chapter where does nisham of a yeet come from the panemius of Hashem from the depths within the depths of God and when you think about this really if you stop and think for a moment God gave me God gave us a nashama right God gave usually kissed that means he put his inner most in me wow he entrusted me to walk around with his not outer self kind of when he's able to go on the golf course and do a put you know and he's wearing his shorts and sneakers and it's sunny outside then he goes into the hot tub and then he goes and does his other nourish Guyton that's also God because everything's with God no no the panemias when he has to work hard and create the intricacies of of the Sun and the Moon and the humanity and animals and everything should be exact and one thing shouldn't touch the other as we have here two doctors could tell you if one thing is out of whack boom I go to a doctor's the head of Rheumatology at maimonides here I say Doc I got this gout he says okay I'll give you some pills for gout but I said doc I got another issue it seems like that that this gout somehow caused cellulitis I don't know I never heard of it but I said look at my foot the gal's gone right that terrible pain in the joints is gone but the swellness and redness what happened over here I don't know everything is exact everything is exact you know where it comes from the panemias of Hashem the essence of God velveil the essence and that God that itself Hashem inserts in Aid what an awesome responsibility so once we have that now the altered will use Kabbalah language and consider's language to break it down let's continue car after the for the the full colon Marshall so too much those words those four words are a Cornerstone in general and in this in particular Souls Israel Jewish Souls ascended we're in God's thought it's another way of saying everything I said to you just a moment ago see he brings a verse to support that beneathi Israel my son my oldest Israel the Jew number two next person you are children to God your God so here avram we see a reference to us being a child of God and the question is why what what what what what what what what it becomes clearer to to to this understanding of us having an hashama coming from the essence of God by using the person the sukim of beneath that's answer the question right to the Alton emphasis again it's the second time in three lines he used the word pirush underline that right that means he's explaining the question that I just asked you why does the Posse why did the sukum why do the verses have to use the analogy of a Ben of a child and he says Glory of just as it's a son a child comes from the brain of his father so too Caballo and for more simply speaking nishma call Ish Israel the soul of every Jew named comes from the thought and the wisdom of God this will be developed soon more but for now doubt that ever says you know why the ver the verses in the Theta use the analogy of a band a child because a bear and a child comes from the brain of the father Visa the semen that's all et cetera Etc I'm not going into Science Now how you scientific reconcile that or or you don't if Dr never says it it's this way I did discuss it with some Top Doctors around here who are from Mexico and they told me there is support for it although some can argue otherwise but I'm not going to I'm not I'm not a doctor I'm not a scientist I'm not going to get into that but the after that but does say these words the child comes is drawn from the brain of the father so the analogy what's the point Maisha that when we say that God gave unshama gave a Jew or not an ashama it's coming from the brain of the father and we know the brain is the deepest the nerve center okay now he'll get back to this part of the mushroom later so we'll wait for later but now he continues since he says here he adds one word we knew until this line that the meshama comes from the premius Masha here he says I'm sorry two words from God's thought and God's wisdom so make sure you see that until now he didn't use these words he used the word vipnemius but since he brings the analogy of a child so he's just as a child comes from the brain of the father he goes now and he says so we Jews come every neshama comes from the thought and the wisdom of God what is thought maksava you have to compare thought to speech just like before we compare blowing to speaking now we're comparing thinking to speaking right people yep yep yep it's meaningless even if you if your conversation is appropriate it's still not can you tell really who the person is although the Ghazal says and how a person speaks you can tell whether they're a shaytara we know those causals and we understand them understand them but nevertheless people can fool you we have we have plenty of people who are great gabbers right gift of the Gap and they could speak and how to China and you know nothing about them and they can be the greatest liars and and and etc etc thought mashava is constant speech is not constant and you don't get tired as you said thought is what we call the fusion it's a garment it's a it's an instrument of the Soul that's constant you cannot separate soul from akshara although we do talk about the the makshava being on the other version then there's the essence of the soul I don't want to go into everything can't do everything at once we'll get to it as we learn Tanya so so ber says this nisham of a Jew it comes from the panemia it comes from the makshava of God from God's thought again implying not his external deeper speech but thought which is much deeper and constant and then he adds the words it also comes from God's God's wisdom and over here now has what to say about what does it mean it comes from God's wisdom so he says Hashem is wise but nevertheless one cannot say I know God because God is wise right well I'm gonna say like this I know you I know moisha Braun because he's an artist and I'm sorry art is something that he does that's not who he is God has features things that he does things that he uses to show who he is one of them is called some will say you know who God is the greatest that's wrong because only one element of God and what God wants to be simple he'll be simple and when he wants to be stubborn he'll be stubborn so how can you say I know God because I know I know that he's a hukum that's what it says let's go back to the text God also possesses the virtue of hakma dear but not that he is known and established as God because of so therefore Dr Evan says this that because when we say that every Yeet Soul every Jew's Soul comes from the essence of God from the thought and wisdom of God he wants you to know I don't mean the wisdom of God and qualifying God as wisdom it the implication of wisdom isn't compared to Bina and Das and Midas meaning the greatest and highest part of God that's the meaning of in this context hello [Applause] says rather who God elohu rather Ella rather who God the Hashem and his how could you say that you and your one right by each and every one of us give me what we do is not who we are it's not one should but by Hashem the type of we're talking about is one that's part of who he is meaning that it's not the suck but the way we understand and the way we look at hakma because the way we look at Rock but it's not reflective of you is reflective of you because it's only part of God and a very important part because of a Ramba must continue as the rambam writes quote who are you doing right God is the knower the knowledge and the no all three the top the information the brain that is used to use the information and the content of the information so by a human being each of these three things Volvo are separate three separate stages but by Hashem the rambam says he is everything together in one mother your day ever you do it says this man cannot fathom properly it makes from the human perspective as God created the human species on Earth the three don't go together either you're the knower or you're the knowledge Etc what what do you mean you're the knowledge the knower and and and and with and with what you know the brain are all one it's not humanly possible to understand that's what that album writes keep it safe and he brings a verse say if you search for God will you find them y'all find them no you you can find only a manifestation of God but to say that you understand the word Shaker means hakira not you understand when could you say hey I know I know what you are God I got you the rambam writes and he had and he tries to prove the exist and he proves the existence of God and it's a whole elaborate difficult compilation right and and the person will say I know God you know nothing you know you think you know God we're talking about knowing not talking about believing now talking about knowing understanding but he brings another verse Hashem says you know my thoughts Mashable sight is not like Masha voice like your thoughts because by you human beings your thoughts comprise of three separate parts the knowing the knower and the knowledge but by me it's all one this ends this section so what what do I mean this section this concludes now today position that the nephe shallow kiss than the shama of a Jew is coming from the premiums of Hashem and and his and his customer now comes a rhetorical question the Earth okay this keep these these one word words in in in Tanya are not just you know a good sentence just like I told you before he mentions twice the word pirush right there when you see the Alton Abba say the word petos you have to stop and ask yourself what is difficult that he has to say pirush the explanation is right so too when you see the words the off that's what we call a rhetorical question what's the request let's see if I often although say yeah she didn't waste meaning although there are myriads of many levels and levels and gradations of Souls of nishamas your next page Lee and Cates Adam finitum so many different the shamis can wait office the great virtue The Souls of the forefathers um and Maisha our teacher of blessed memory if you compare those souls to The Souls of David of these Generations referring to the ikremeshiach through generation that's known as the heels of the mashiach foreign that they are actual heels not actual heels heels on your shoe on your feet but they have very little Life Force if someone gives you a kick in the heel it doesn't hurt as much as if it kicks your your head Etc why because the life force in the heel is very very little so therefore he says there are souls which are considered heal Souls Souls that are their souls they're in the Summers Jewish the shamas but for whatever reason they don't have lots of Life Force outwardly as the compared to the the shamas and he says if you compare the heels to the brain and the head it's insignificant they are heads of the thousands of of Jews the heads of the Eden whose souls are hey they're considered the head and the Brain the Gabi in comparison to Nisha nishma's if you compare their souls to the masses and ignoramuses and so if you compare within each group so diesels the dead Souls there are differences why he called Netflix because every soul clula incorporates from the soul from the soul spirit and soul and and therefore there are differences here ends the rhetorical question what's the ultimate's question I just told you that little shama comes from the premius of Hashem right highs of high every single soul wait a minute we we know that there are many different levels of Souls so what even everyone comes from there that's his question that's the rhetorical question and it's only a rhetorical question because of his of his retort which begins right now look at the words means nevertheless and those are Buzz words in Hebrew to imply a retort to the rhetorical question because welcome nevertheless shade is called on Netflix the sadist source of all Soul Spirit Soul cool on all of them from the head from the head of all levels I'd say if Colton until the end of all levels have malubish which are invested in eventually in begoofen the bodies of Amir aritz of the ignoramuses with calcium in the most lenient Jew that there is where they're very lenient in their connection nevertheless their soul that's so low in its Vitality of its observable mortality it's drawn where does it come from and Source from the supernal brain which is called supernal wisdomorphically speaking and next week we'll learn him it's a shed the muscle that the outdated gives which goes back to what the muscle that he said before of the father but I just want to conclude that here Dr Pepper gives the retort to his point and his retort is that you should know outwardly there are differences but but the Panini is everyone comes from the shadish from the same source and I'll leave you with one thing so that you can complain about Shabbos I once asked Rabbi malinowitz all over show them a former Rabbi of the shabbish who we personally knew and we had him in Cairo the very first speaker was of milinowitz a blessed memory he was a very special ye that I don't have to tell you guys everyone knows anyway he was the former Chief editor of the arts art school shot and see shots so I once asked him he learned Tanya by the Joel Khan four years when he was in the culo I think or Booker in the Yeshiva yeah but it was a Booker still in the Yeshiva by Rabbi Abba Berman in Muncie was a Yeshiva which had a lot of very very gifted students a lot it was a group of gifted students so they wanted to learn cities they weren't from those lit Fox that shunned they a real town the clock knows what there is a cities but they weren't they they didn't grow up with it you know Khan was coming anyway to Muncie to teach Tanya Shear about eight nine o'clock nine o'clock I think or so 9 30 at Rabbi Simcoe Werner is um not sure group maybe sure the group whatever yeah in Muncie and that was more for the hamisha the casino the visited sir and others that live in Muncie so they asked her but bearman could they attend once a week you know for an hour he said yes but not during say the Yeshiva sorry foreign so he said absolutely it's a good thing especially for you you know very bright but not till after Seder when did say they're finished by the place 10 10 30 you know these were illusion stayed longer than his sh after his sheer finished and he gave a second year just for these students Millennials was one of them I'm telling you what he shared with me personally it's not I heard I heard it from him the horse's mouth that's for sure to call him a horse anyway so so um he learned Tanya for four years he told me four years and that's why when the first time when I came in August I think of uh 2017 then shmuela stroll asked me if I'd make the coiler and I started to check out the area and look at the people and speak to that I bought them that's why I told you he told everyone he said I asked them can I say a few words he said absolutely I never saw a literature Le babature who he never met with absolutely and then when he when he made it to Russia after minha and Shabbos and he told everyone stay put I I look I I was watching uh I couldn't believe a rabbi speaking this a rabbi a REV no one go and he went to the Ahmad this is right because everyone runs out to shut the shoulders staple don't leave and remember the middle of the middle it says stay put everyone listens that was a very important lesson the rough says stay put I don't care should this your grandmother your mother your kids you don't leave and no one left I saw it ate 70 80 guys is sure and he goes over and he gives a clap on the on on his left turn and extend it and he said it starts quoting that the modern Bayer and the good mother speaks about people which is a they forsake the world of Eternal Eternal World which is Tita for business and other things called how you show and the commander says some very very harsh things which I which he he quoted okay I mean like he and he basically was telling them if you guys go out now you're going compared to what I'm talking about now which is Kaya Island that was the implication of what he said so that also like you know threw me for a loop wow this Rabbi is really uh uh he he really says it the way it is but kids are he says to everyone I was waiting for the day from a wedding a little apartment across it would come especially if you learned by my my teacher and considers who was an ideal Khan and he would ask me to speak and I would roll out the red carpet so I was the culprit to the papager who asked him to speak in his shoe during the year I had occasion to speak to him and I asked him one time or was it maybe a year later forget or on the email I forget now maybe it was on the email I don't remember that but but I asked him if he had any other conversations with him yo besides learning Tanya so he said yes he wrote him one time a letter and he asked him what is the muckler the source that hasidim have a red is there a mocker you know there's no thing you make up things the belchem wasn't an Abracadabra worker like Martin booper and others you know foolishly believed something was at Sadiq and he was a guy so what is his marker said abuel said he told me that bill answered me in the letter two like a few words Tanya chapter 2. he said that and what does it say we're gonna learn later on but he begins already that's why I'm sharing with you look at the third line the last three words they are heads of the Jews people saying Agape everyone else that is foreign sharing a source whether it's a Zone whether it's Kabbalah that's not that's going to get into it later down to that but towards the end of the page and going on where he quotes next page Paige Zion he brings the Ghazal or the duff good boy should call it is but Millennium which was asking like you know that kazal refers to come right what's this idea of a red Samuel said Kanye chapter two I can't tell you more I can't tell you less but we learned it now and I wanted to point it out to you because the question is a good one and the answer is a good one and uh it's important to know because you live amongst others not yet not yet because your job and my job is to impress and make everyone sit sit doesn't mean they have to become a Babbage or busting or stolen or Beyond no symptoms because it's Titus MS anyway well kidding aside I wasn't kidding I really mean it but anyway it's quite the schwat and we're getting ready this shop is number one anyone consider themselves it should please take an Aliyah because we there ever instructed us the first year after the free camera passed away in 1951 you wrote a letter it's an important letter to go over for yourself and your family what we should do for the upcoming yard set which is Wednesday the future Act and that ever said one of the things we should do is take an Alia because just like a parent we're getting Alia to the tail of the Shabbos before it doesn't mean you need the master but it's getting Alias so you know if you can get it back Shakura it's great if there's too many Buddhism and all that get it well can't give it to you or won't give it to you whatever reason go to another show he has plenty of shoes if you ask for an Alia or you go to the guy by ahead of time you know so that's that's something that uh it's a mini Chabad and to make a fabrengan or that you know the the crabbers yard site that's the huge fact then by us system of the Rebel we feel that this day isn't only about a yard side of the fleet cadabra which she was a great Sadiq and everything else but it's also the day when he became the lab and it was substantiated if you need substantiation in 1980 whenever this elevation came 30 years of the Reba's leadership and that was a big milestone and you've seen it online and I've spoken about it and written about it so that was a time that he honored the Reba with his presence I'm just saying you know not that it was a very long trip from Washington Heights to Crown Heights but nevertheless nevertheless he wasn't already in the best of health uh so why because [Music] it happened you know became became the Le Bobby brought to the world where he brought and brings not just broad but brings it's amazing amazing how my wife was telling me she went to a wedding and met supper supper women how they decided for the 19 19th birthday of of one of their sons they're all gonna get dressed up and Shop his clothes and go to the oil and ride a pigeonette fish and foreign just a phenomenon you know I mean you're an artist said oh you have your McQueen all that here the Rapids oil has really become I'm going to use the you know words that I don't like using but people you know a shrine a makum kaddish for breakfast and fearless for all people I was at the oil on my birthday three weeks ago or so right and well first I when I went in I went into to write my my settle my Pani my pigeon nevish I see a black man sitting and writing okay then I'm already in the oil you know the davening saying tillum and all that and the same black man comes in and he this African-American I don't know and he stopping some I don't know if he's Jewish he's not Jewish but what a what a wonderful thing and I'm saying it that that a person a Jew a non-jew feels they have a place that they can connect with God you don't have to be a Jew to Daven at sadiq's Cave for that matter the same as narratus at all yes maybe for some it looks not you know it looks like strange when a non-jew visits you know a caver of assadic but the truth is that at Sadiq brings a person's prayers to God for all of humanity so my point being that that huge fact is coming up it's a day to to once again strengthen our history to this particular these particular sadikim and in particular in our case the the Rebecca who gives us um so much kayak to be able to continue marching towards bashiach and bringing and bringing kindness to ourselves family and and community and the world so this is something that is a very important day and this Shabbos you travel which by the way was the Shabbos when the free degrava passed away he passed away on Shabbos in the morning I think 10 to 8 or so you attract 1950. so have a great Shabbos everyone and we'll see everyone Monday
