so today we continue learning uh Patrick
Zion
and yesterday we had a very important
discussion
which will sure have everlasting uh
results and impact on ourselves and
others
regarding the regarding the way we we
understand ourselves
understand the world we live in and
understand
the the richness of Yiddish kite of
Taira because the richness of theta is
not and this is what I concluded with
yesterday and I start with today
is not to think that where someone
so much better and special and it's not
shyaked to me it's not applicable to me
that is a fallacy
and
for so many years and became an apostate
the at the end of his life
what does that show
it shows that a person shouldn't trust
in themselves
without trusting in hakodesh Ballroom
and this has been constantly proven it's
not it's not a novelty but this is part
of what we were learning yesterday
especially in our discussion
and talking about the issues of
elevating elevating
um goshmias all kinds of material matter
and situations
you have to be on guard
you don't have to be uh a muser a
musernik to say that you could be a
hasid
and you have to know the reality
it's important to know that it's
important to know that hasidus doesn't
mean
that you throw away the
um technicalities
and nuances of Jewish law
on the contrary I heard from venerable
how these were the baby chicks in them
but I heard from them how
they were so meticulous
about this issue that we discussed
yesterday but even as single be before
you're married
not to not to have improper thoughts and
to work on
averting your your mind from such
thoughts surely not to look at things
that are that was a big avoid
now go say that the Chabad boys and
girls today you know they'll laugh at
you I'm talking about
probably a majority really we're
concerned about the sea teams and see
kids and thrilling and it's all very
important indeed it is as we discussed
the other day what about the avoid the
panemias
one's own inner Africa you know the
river
at the end of the first moment that he
said which we look see as kind of the
mission for the generation okay that my
boss legani 1951 and if you if you learn
and listen to the rapper's words and
it's online you can listen to it the
rapper says
we need to leave our Godless which we
discussed before mashia should come and
we should
get be finished with this Exile and then
the rabbit threw in a few small words
you know that some people had need to
take the wax out of their ears to hear
it but he said it
said the goal is happening those are the
rabbit's words The galot Happening the
inner goals
you know if you don't take out the goal
of sapnimi you can have all the
revelations and all the manifestations
and all the Fascinations and you can be
totally unmoved
so
see them
took these ideas of the altarebe here
in a very serious way in a very very
serious way now the difference between
acciderman
was that see them
celebrated it with a simcha and and and
and the more litfish waves not the way
was to be more far crashed you know more
what's the word you know
you know more tense about it more tense
more tense you know
it's like I I I I I I I I thought about
something inappropriate I saw something
appropriate am I gonna burn a vague
that's it you know I
so see them also realized that I saw
something was folks something not
properly and all that but
what can we do about it with simcha and
we go on and and and and we're gonna do
a juvenile and I pointed out to you the
altered episode the bottom of page 22
yes I said yes
what does it mean a person should return
it means you have to do sugar
if you don't do true verb guess what
you're still a la Fusion mercavo you're
still a garment and a chariot
for clipper
now
one way instead of doing truth is saying
oh and this and this day on March 15
1975 I was at a protest at Evanston
University or at Columbia or at Brooklyn
or Berkeley and
um I was smoking dope and hanging out
girls and doing terrible things
that's not the type of Truth we're
talking about
because you don't have to
uh enumerate
you know this particular detail of your
sin this particular detail when you do a
close Decatur
a paradigm shift as it says
the Paradigm Shift of destitution the
nonsense that I did in the past and
every one of us I won't do again because
that's not who I am that that wipes it
all away but that has to be done
that has to be done if not it's just
adding adding adding up a building on a
foundation that is very slippery and can
crush and fall
and this is a balance you know and I'm
sure different teachers and rabbis and
movements have different approaches to
this issue but I would think that
overall the the especially the message
of Sid this in particular and it says
here and Tanya you learn Tanya and if
you conclude to Tanya that to to do
chewable for a Vegas for your
transgressions is an important you got
to re learn the safer you haven't
learned that you don't know what you're
talking about
at the same time to to to say oh it's
terrible and I'm a lost cause
you're also making the same exact
mistake
either extreme is wrong
and when you learn the Tanya it guides
you and gives you a Derek
like the rambam writes in Hillcrest day
it's a balanced way to be a to be uh to
be happy to be excited
and to deal with the issues to deal with
so let's continue now Patriot base
fourth fifth line three words from the
end
machine came in my holoca students
conversely when we're dealing with
prohibited Foods things that are
forbidden that are not kosher
and prohibited relationships bills means
relationships
sexual nature
Michelle is Clippers at the maze legomni
they come
and and and and and and and our symbol
of the three complete negative Clippers
they are forbidden and bound remember we
learned yesterday the word Usher means
for Usher from it's bound connected to
who be there could sign him to the hands
of the extraneous forces I.E the
Clippers Lee ilum
for eternity
and we cannot Elevate them you know who
can look next
on they don't ascend from their place of
and death will be absorbed they'll be
swallowed for eternity commission
cursive as the verse says the spirit of
contamination
I will I will get rid of from the from
the from the Earth
so at that time Hashem
when mashiach comes we'll do us a big
favor is Sir he'll get rid of the tumor
Ori
there is another way how we can get rid
of
doing hardcore sins that are connected
to the shoulders
foreign
that intentional transgressions sins
become because of this intense juvenile
is like merits like mitzvahs
in actuality
what type of is this
is what
a chuva coming from the great intense
love you have for Hashem
from the depth of your heart
now he's going to give us adjectives to
express this truth or this love
and a desire and A Soulful thirst
longing
with someone he adds even a fourth
adjective with some obnoxious
and his soul is thirsty La Hashem to be
with God
as though he finds himself in a tired in
a land in a tired land with Shia and in
a in a land where there is no water like
in a desert
and from there he says I am thirsty give
me give me God I want you
since
what's the reason why now
why is it that this type of true for me
ever is powerful enough
to
erase completely
sins hardcore sins gives us a logical
reason is Sir
it starts
since until this moment my soul was in a
place of thirst and death
sin is death for a Jew
and that's where I found myself I did a
hardcore sit
es
this is the other side of holiness
and which is so far and distant
from the continents of Hashem to the
ultimate degree
so sins that's where I was Village ice
therefore now that I realize there is a
God and all that somehow enough not sure
but yes it is the person's soul is so
much more thirsty
foreign
the place
are standing are at
can't stand over there
so here before we go further we have a
very very important concept that I'm
introduces here
it's really it's really a fascinating
concept okay let's let's go back you
look into the Gamora before see this
the mother says
if you did sins bishek this is the chuva
accidentally this is the children
you did since been amazing you did
intentional sins
the gamara says the Juve is
and if you don't and if you only do true
in other words God the bridge is
crumbling the hurricane is coming the
the race the war is coming
um I'll do whatever it is I'll give you
everything I have I'm all yours that's
true for me here
that's not true for me album
that's true for out of fear
what's trooping me Apple
simply Super Mario is
I love you I love you Hashem
I'm not it has nothing to do with what
you're going to do for me and not do for
me I love you
and a very rudimentary level two for me
Apple
when a year the mother says the mother
and Yuma Mission you might believe the
Mr says when you do True For Me Abba
even
your sins that you did intentionally you
know exactly what you're doing
not like most balichuva that didn't know
what they're doing because they weren't
educated
we're talking about people who knew what
Shabbos is in the new what causes and
they said I don't care anymore I don't
believe in this stuff and they broke
Shoppers and they ate today and all that
right so let's just for a moment I want
to make it clear we're not talking about
most people over our history who didn't
know
you know just because you said I went to
a town of Torah and I know no no
that's not called no ink yeah I go play
soccer I know I go and play football I
know you really know
the Maneuvers that the the coaches and
the players do and they in their
practice and then on the field you have
no idea we watch a football game we go
to a game right we see them looking and
talking
what's going on but I know I know that
they know
so when someone says I went to
commentora and my teacher taught me
about Sabbath and about Shabbos and
about this
that's called knowing
that's called a a superficial idea that
that you heard of Shabbos you don't
really know so when we talk about
doing a sin knowing god like
he knows his master
um
and he intends on rebelling against him
okay
that's an exception there are such
situations
foreign
such sins that you know you're you knew
better and you truly know
the power of true for Miyavi is it can
atone for that and not only for atone
for it to be considered like a show gig
an accidental sin
NASA like it becomes like merits like
Mitzvahs wow
now what's the logic
that's a kazow but what is the logic
that you ever ask yourself I'm not the
first one to teach you this you've
learned this many times over the years
gives us a logic I'm not saying there
aren't others ideas but here he says
and that's why I'm speaking about it at
length now terebus says you know why you
get this extra credit gift from God that
your intentional sins become like
mistress
it's because you're coming from a place
of pain
you come to a place of thirst
and when a ye when God sees that a yeet
comes from a place of pain and thirst
and from there from there he does chuva
Hashem says that's the highest that's
the best
and all this stuff he came and all these
rabbis and all these students who grew
up ffbs and all that it's very very nice
but it doesn't have that virtue
now it doesn't mean they can't attain
that without doing a sin that's another
discussion how does a ffb a from from
birth
attack
how does he get the mile of chuva we
have to discuss that at another time but
what we understand is that the quality
of chupa
when you're coming from a place of
Sia with Sal Marvis pain agony
and you understand I wasted I wasted my
life
and I did some stupid things and and and
from there you say I don't want it
anymore and I want only you God because
I love you and now I understand how
precious you are what an assume is and
what I am Hashem says if that's the case
then
then listen to this now then your Aveda
your intentional sin is a trigger for
the highest form of love for God
and that's why you credited yes you
understand this is what it says what I'm
telling you now that's why you're
credited
that a intentional sin is considered
like a mitzvah
because when you do a Mitzvah right it's
when you do a regular mitzvah
you love Hashem you do the Mitzvah right
when you do this true verb
what's triggering you to do the truth or
the sin is tricking you to do this but
the pain is written that means that that
the the pain becomes
the stepping stone for the highest form
of truva and that's why it's considered
a mitzvah
and this is a in a way it's an oxymoron
it makes no sense
sin should be the impetus for the
greatest trueva for tuba Me Abba but
that's exactly what we're saying
so now
someone might ask a question an obvious
question okay so let me send
hahaha
let me sin
if
don't have this value and virtue of
and only Bali chuba too I want to be
about Cuba to be about sugar I got to do
a good good sin a good good you know let
me go out today and do a good sin
and by the way
there are people over the centuries who
thought that way
convincing themselves they're doing it
for the cause for the global Jewish
world and they're based it on a
is Pincus
and I've already written and explained
that that is ridiculous
because you have to be an Elizabeth
to live that reality and if you're not
an Israel satanic but you have a lust
for women and Allah
and a Lust For ego and all of that
you're no Israel so what you're what you
are convincing yourself and concocting
is all you that's not what we're talking
let's do some stupidity that's simply a
person who's misguided
but for the average person with the
Elton saying here is
this is a
to me this is such a opportunistic
reality for every need
to be
you know
in other words embrace your sin embrace
your past not reject your past how do I
embrace it by doing truth
so you say to yourself why let me ask
you something sitting there in your room
you're thinking I'm 50 or 60 years old
whatever why why did God not make me
know what I know now why did it take me
you know 20 years 30 years why for the
same matter he could have woke me up
earlier
what's one of the answers one of the
answers
God knows exactly what he wants and he
and he says your soul your nashama
is going to get a gift a gift you don't
kind of gift
that for some reason for some time you
go through that period and now he says
Ah you now do chuva and you'll be even
greater and higher and anything else and
everyone else
to go and begin with say I want this
recipe in this course of action you're
not allowed to
you're not allowed to
but once
High Hashem plans it that way and makes
it happen that way together with your
free will and everything else
that's the situation on the ground
so to ask why did Hashem make it that
way first of all sometimes you could you
could you can see you can really reflect
back and understand
today I am who I am and the family I
have and and everything that I'm doing
for you this guide
came
sometimes you could say because I went
through this and and that's what the
outer lab is saying here
he's saying that look at the words I
want you to see the words because this
I'm not making this up he says he's like
this
is
until now I've been this this place of
death and thirst Village that word
losise is key and therefore
[Music]
foreign
even a sin
of of
biosaurus you know what that was saying
it's amazing forbidden relationships
biosaurus
which average kid the college campus
didn't have BSN service come on gotta be
kidding
okay
says
we'll wipe it out that's what he says
and if you think trivia means I have to
be a flute and tooting that they may
have shot him in a corner in in his shoe
no
you come to a point where what I did is
wrong I don't want to be there and I
realized the mistake
and I love you Hashem for giving me the
opportunity
that's trooping me out
now there's levels of Troopa miyaba but
yes
I don't know if it's an exact same
question maybe it is a question
it's interesting I um
one of the things that I think about
sometimes is that um
in our family
so why did why did the Curtis broccoli
make it let's say like
why was I the one of my siblings
to make the decision
to learn more about you districts I'm
going to embrace my guitar too too yeah
my siblings were raised in the same home
you know who in one case like you know
one of them is only 15 months younger
than me
and I ask all the time why
what why I mean when I look and I look
on the horizon line as far as I can see
in my family
I can't find another
I know I can't find another from
relative
and it's uh you mean like in the left
you mean like in the last hundred years
or so yeah correct correct
uh
because uh I don't think about it I I
think about a lot to say that why why me
why why why me what why not why not my
siblings why not you know
so I'm sure just yeah so I I I hear you
and and
in Kabbalah it it speaks a little bit
about this idea of nourishing from the
AIDS of that
it's a high
and and their soul issues I think I told
you once there's a discussion in the
arizal about siblings this is it exactly
what you're talking about
and over there the Carrillo speaks about
the concept of sibling rivalry
and he says you know why the sibling
rivalry
because each is trying to nourish from
the same branch
so each is trying to slap more highest
if you if you extend that concept I
think again possibly possibly
you know can't say for sure because
these are capitalistic mystical
realities
kabbalistically there's also such a
thing
that one sibling
got more of the eight Sacrament than the
other and that's why that sibling will
become the from one of the from you know
they're the one that stands out more
but I want to tell you that the river
shop
and the Philadelphia and my father
always repeats it because my father
comes from a vision it's home and he
ended up in Lubavitch and Chabad as a 13
year old boy and there's this role and
the Yeshiva looked and he always says
that the Deborah shop said whoever ends
up learning and tell him
and I and I would extend that whoever
becomes a laborator it has to do within
the shama it's a big Swiss it's not
something
you know
you know it's not something you can say
oh I know why again at times you could
say I know why I'm not saying it's
impossible
so when you ask yourself that question
Misha
then a shop says it's a source
it's a school stick you understand my
hands when you look into Kabbalah and
talks about the Russian food and all
that but you know
because it wasn't the approach of The
Liberation
and other Sadi came even to to go in
this uh uh you know why we that's not
yes if you want to explore we have
spotted
but you have to explore and you have to
come to you understand
I'm not so I don't I'm not poo pooing
you know these mystical
ideas and and responses but that has to
come from a person so if you were to sit
down and learn how these out and you're
and then oh you say wow hmm
and you and you feel that this is
talking to you come on come on you know
what I'm saying
did say
that it's a source that you ended up in
the Bible Yeshiva and my father always
says that
because rationally
my his my ancestors his ancestors are
like 200 years
business
where's he coming to the public to see
this
well the answer is he wasn't he was he
met a whole story he met the the nation
but they broke out because he made an
announcement for someone in the mabarat
in the camps in the Tanya and he spoke
in the Romanian and the guy didn't know
Romanian he asked my father for do me a
favor and after my father speaks in
Romanian to them it makes an
announcement he says what can I do for
you so he says the malama told them in
the Romania that when it comes there to
Israel we should go to Yeshiva which and
he also wants to see a navi because he
learned entertain about another so the
guy tells him you want to see enough and
you want to go to Yeshiva go to
somewhere benebra he ends up coming to
the neighborhood knocks on the door
because
and the guy says little boy get out of
here before I break your bones you're
out of your mind and he says no no no no
really I was told as a a navi here
and and the guy you know says I'm
telling you you're gonna get pets for me
and the a third time and then he says
okay I'll agree to ask the the because
the person the person who you say is
enough whether he'll see you and my
father says no no no no now my father
starts telling him what to do and he
says to him when you only talk to him
and say my father says Aaron Dalton
that's my father's first name is here
from Romania
and he wants to see you
so he says okay I promise I'll go back
and tell him that and he goes in and
tells him I don't doubt him for Romania
is here and the haza says let him come
in after three attempts and being
threatened by the God by the shamish
comes in in a case he doesn't say you
know here's the navi I saw the Navi on
and on and
the rest is history
the rest of the story I'll tell you
another time because I have another
sheer now but the point is it's from
heaven
have a have a great day we'll see
everyone tomorrow Shalom bye
good day
