we're in the murray mara salem i believe we're still on page 34 right yes okay and we're one two three four five six six lines from the bottom in the middle of the line where it says hine kane nick baladuras let me just uh recap the last naked last point the rabbit spoke about this idea of drawing the kesar malhus which is give drawn into the world through the kabbalah sale of of our couple vis-a-vis the blind of shaffer brings the crown of the king into the world which means the essence of hashem the plenus is revealed and the rebel said a very interesting point this is why rosh hashanah is specifically on the day that adam marisha was created that the first man was created seemingly rosh hashanah if it's the beginning of the year should be on the first day of creation which is the 25th available and it's not and this is perplexing so hasidis explains that the purpose of bria of creation is man and because the kavana panemias the inner cavanaugh intent of creation is man so we don't celebrate rosh hashanah on the birthday of the world rather than the birthday of man so what does it mean what's the difference you have to ask yourself right away this question and there are by the way many my marim on this topic the difference between elo bria creation of man birth of man and the the basic explanation and there's much more for your if you're interested you could follow up but the basic explanation is that the brilliance prior without man doesn't do it for hashem doesn't do it for god belizo having you know angels were created on this day of creation and the heavens and the earth and the stars and everything else and celestial beings and and heaven and angels etc all of that are spiritual and even the gash me is more of a rook this gosh it's it's physical but there's a a angle kite a refinement to it it came the sixth day of creation and man was created other was created in a goof gosh me and when you talk about a goof kashmir you're talking about coarseness at its best even without eating the two hamburgers or sleeping for 17 hours or priding yourself with yesh and ego and arrogance the very fact that a goof is created in olam hazel is by definition geshen the altar says this in the first chapter of tanya in between the lines the altar when he talks about the nephesh he starts off saying this on the second side of the first chapter of tanya when he quotes the arizal he says and that and the question we know that the soul of man is in in the blood what is he trying to say so i heard from by my spirit of your khan the explanation that what y'all taleb is saying by the very fact that the soul event encloses itself in damhadam in the physical blood of a person that is the beginning and in a way the end of the nephi shah bombings the end meaning that's the crux of the devil obama's that's the problem that there is now existence to something other and outside of god i.e the yesh the emits the existence of i and that's why dalton ebba says that and quotes it before he says um and from it from the nafta bombings comes the four ugly character traits of guyva and anger and and and and taiva all of those things moshe are derivatives of the of the the of the essence what's the essence guessing gosh me and gash me is automatic by the fact that god created man so when hashem created adam here was the the challenge here was the richness of life which is free will your geshen and until now until the sixth day of creation it was more of a spiritual experience all of a sudden there's the counter now with the physical experience what are you going to do let me see what you're going to do oh this is where it counts so that's why bria as great and fantastic it is we don't celebrate it we don't make a big to-do from it did you ever see anyone uh not saying tachnon on the 25th of ello because of the 25th of l no i mean the fact that people around here never say tachnon is a different story we're talking about is there any kashivos given to the 25th available no there isn't why not it's the birthday of the world and the answer is big deal what any big deal and the answer is because hashem wants aveda hashem wants man without man he doesn't need this but he made it he made it because his kavanagh his intent is man saif myself every friday night in the right shabbos comes after the six days of the week what what do we say that the purpose of the six days a week is the shabbos so what are we really saying that if not for shabbos six days of the week are not important and they only become important because hashem to begin with what what made him create the six days of the week is shabbos saif myself the end result sends first and thought so too other marisha creation of man is what turned on if you could use that expression metaphorically speaking in hashem regarding hashem it turned hashem on to say i want this so that's why we celebrate that's why we celebrate rosh hashanah and that's why it's called hillary clinton really should be called the beginning of the year rosh means the head of the year so this explains the head is the nerve has the nerve center for the entire body why is it called rosh hashanah because it's in man and in creation of man that's the nerve center for the entire year and without the rosh without the head the year is lacking because there's a the nerve center is damaged god forbid or hurt we're not there or so you have to focus on the nerve center on the roche and the and that's why and and who and who is the one to make of this day a special day a focused day man other that's why we celebrate man and that's what we're going to that's what he said he said brother mauricio i'll line a line before with today before we before today's share the other marijuana admiration says hashem god reigns gaius lavish he enclosed himself in exaltation now what does that mean that malchus hashem gods is encapsulated through the gaeut now seemingly you would think that malchus right you i think you asked yesterday malcolm's is bitters humility gaius is gaba the word gayut is associated with the word explains no that's what we're saying here that specifically the mouth was comes the mouse comes i'm sorry the gaos comes the gaos the exaltation is one of bittel yes it's exaltation because he's a melech mellow is not a bad thing a melech is the epitome of bitter as expressed through gales you must have a mellow if you don't have a melee if you don't have a king you have chaos you need to have a mellow but not a king who is full of himself but a king who's that full and demonstrative of mouth was a bitter of hashem and all of that is the job of adam and that's why creation i'm sorry that's why rosh hashanah is not the day when the world was created but rather on the sixth day of creation when adam was created this is briefly what he what he explained yesterday albeit in brief and what it says in other hasidic memorial let's continue indicating says just as it was the first day when adam adam was created he made the statement of hashem mother chaos lavish so did he set the tone for the future generations through our acceptance of the yoke of heaven by us accepting upon himself the yoke of heaven we draw the level which is called the crown of the kingship we use that hashem desires prophets is inner desire or masonic and pl has pleasure but by being king what is the sign motion that hashem really is happy being a king over us when he wears his crown if hashem doesn't wear his crown he's still not totally happy it's still not evoking the deepest part of god's essence it still can be a legalistic bureaucratic um tit-for-tat uh reward and punishment experience how do you know if a person really really loves you how do you know if a person really really cares for you how do you know if a person really really desires doing the work that he's doing i think i told you once dennis prager was speaking in l.a at the spartak temple on wilshire boulevard which is a beautiful large fancy building you know a ritzy building in the heart of westwood beverly hills and there must have been a thousand young people in the in the room and he raised his hand and he said to everyone i have a question for you i want you to raise your hand those that can that can answer the question how many of you you really really like the job that you're doing not many hands went up most people do the work they do because that's what they need to do to bring parnosa home and that's the way you know that's the way it should be like i told you my father that's the way you know would always uh tell us you don't have the work that you want do other work go paint walls you know you know his his his way of his way the way he was raised in romania and in europe and for my grandfather was you know such hard work like what do you mean you're not going to do your work your job you're not going to go bring home pronunciation for your family because you don't have the exact job that you want that was not that was not in his ethos at all in his and and and that's what i heard from my father you weren't you know so my father needed to in the beginning when he when he started working he needed more prognosis he worked two two jobs night shift overtime got paid what worked hard real hard like i've told you many times so the fact that people have a job doesn't mean they really are happy about their job so they can't raise their hand if they're asked do you really love your job and that's why the song that i i believe i've shared with you over the years which is by means work job krepko very much [Applause] [Music] 1958 father comes off the boat from europe urges road to europe to france to america comes into 770 thursday night he sees all his old buddies and friends from lud from the chabad yeshiva what a celebration and they're saying look i am and if i bring saying and they're singing this song he doesn't know what it means so he asks what does the song mean we love our job he tears them and he says you guys love your job you love sitting in your cv here and as we the expression isn't here there's fetch in our bank affection is a yiddish word it doesn't mean only to fetch questions to squeeze your your bench pressing you're sitting it's great but you know about work what do you mean you love your job you don't work he says i came here because i want to see the rabbit i want to get married and i need work to and to provide for my wife and family so i started a job part-time after learning and diving in the morning i went to work but you guys are just enjoying yourself in the yeshiva full-time so what do you know about a job you say you're singing the songs and you're not working i'm the one that's working in schwitzing and they told them the job we're talking about here is working for hashem and working for the red i'm working for taylor because originally this tune was sung by the guerrilla warfare generals and their people by their by their by the by the soldiers after a hard day's work of purge purging and killing and beating at night they would go into the gretchen to the tavern to the bar and they would drink and then they would say luba luba really working for this general igor nivan and whoever else and the other group would say we love working for johnny and paul and and whoever and that and during the day they would try killing each other because they were trying to cut they were conquering the land so the babies see them who were all over those those territories somehow heard this tavern song they said uh this is a song we could uh a tune we can really incorporate in our avoidance hashem just as daylight have these drunk shikurim say we love working for you boss we hasid have to ask ourselves do we love working for hashem do we and this is what they told my father is the real meaning of the song so why am i telling you this because when we talk about fates or messianic hashem has a real desire and real pleasure from being a king over us that's what i'm talking about to be able to say i really love my work in other words when i go into the art studio but she goes into the art studio he's elated it's not a chore but it's an elation because he loves doing what he's doing and each and every one of us and reflecting back on hashem this is what we're getting at is to to accomplish through our showing subservience and bittle to the king hashem says i really want to be your king not just i have to be your king why because you know you i already made you so let me keep you alive i mean that's frankly pathetic and this is so important in every aspect of life especially for the the new young generation to come to a point where they feel about their commitment to akadeshwar who an excitement an excitement to serve god and for one it's through the army for the other it's through the gamora for the third it's through visiting people you know but whatever you do do with a passion that's what we're talking about let's continue [Music] it says in the title [Music] we call hashem the king when the heads of the nation gather together israel unity amongst the tribes of israel will be paid or you shouldn't the word you're sure in moshe has different meanings one of the meanings is who lush and yahshua yahshua means straight right yeshua i never forget right i'm driving there i'm lost somewhere in there to throw please tell me how to go yashar yashar yashar straight straight straight you should run go straight why does hashem call out in this passage yeshua he says to equalizing the orientations of khasid and guru of kindness and judgment you see heset says give give give comes along gavurangavura says no no no he doesn't deserve sorry so are at each other the cell cave so it comes along the middle orientation the middle line das to ferrous usaid right if you look at the ten spheres the third one is das the sixth one is the fairest and the ninth one is isaiah by the way what's the acronym for those three dhati a religious man is someone who has a good blend of das to ferrous and your site someone who's only hasset or someone is only kavura is not really about you a dhati is someone who can tolerate everyone can straighten out everyone because the middle calf the middle orientation ascends to heaven to the infinite that's when you really doti this is my own my own british you know but i i think there's merit to it so many people are considering yourself.team that team but it's my way of the highway you're not really dot t you're you're an ego dating a real daddy sees the other per person's way as well and brings and unity yashar yeshuran he straightens them out vis-a-vis the middle road let's continue the middle orientation makes incorporation his kala lute through the name of hashem that equals top of next page 35. the eeo oil parcels where does shane ma reign and rest in athens 45 man adam kabbalah says is associated with the name of hashem the youth cave of k can be spelled in various ways right let's say a youth moshe you can spell it you'd vote dalit or you could spell you'd you'd you'd you dude equals 20. you'd vote valid equals how much also 20 but it's different different spellings and so you could you could cabola teaches us there are different ways of spelling out the shame hashem one of the ways equal to the gematria the numerical equivalent of the four letters that are spelled out in a certain way is 45. adam also equals 45. so the the uh the main tickle the main correction of what we call the combination creating adam is 45. there are other look inside continue adam includes 248 specific limbs the whole labor each limb is a specific vessel to a particular energy right the the the eyes are uh are kaley for sight the ears for hearing and the nose for smelling the im said nevertheless when you put them all together they are mash limb they complete and each other um not only do they complete they're actually integrated one with the other in a manner of of unity so much so so great is the actus of all of the different um evarim that they become one la wholesome group one wholesome one wholesome being in other words this like this there's 248 each individually each with a specific message the ears are not the eyes the eyes are not the nose etc and that's true and they all function together that's great but they're still distinct the the distinct distinct one from the other a greater letter of actus and this is you know a great avoider is we're kind of the nose of the eyes and every other part has the other element the other limb in it in a way the the story that we've shared and hillel has told us it's i think his grand his grandfather the great sadiq that you know he has the cubes of sugar in his hand and it's as though he didn't put him in any taste them even though he didn't put it in his mouth now what happened over here what happened is that he's so united with the bracha and uh that he's making and what he's doing that in his mouth he feels the cubes of sugar even though he didn't didn't yet put them in his mouth that's an ah that's a level of unity that's much greater than distinct evarim and they varun have each a different message let's continue [Music] and the foot carries brings the head um and uplifts it to the point that the elevation of the head can the head get somewhere without the foot no does the foot understand the importance of getting somewhere without the head no so this means that there's a correlation and an association between the head and the foot that is that is greater than the head and the foot on their own being what they are being what they are in other words why should the head on its own is the head the foot on its own the foot does each have a value absolutely but now think about the head and the foot how they how they complement each other then it's then what you're accessing is the head within the foot and the foot within the head and the rabbit says this is the idea of the tickling of parts of other the tikkun of parts of other when you when you seek to create to to perfect man when man seeks to perfect himself we need the ultimate is this level and this is what we mean by besuran melech in other words adam marie showing is great as as a father figure to kindness a father figure to judgment a father a father figure to charisma to pleasure to to beauty and rahmanis but that is a a preliminary aspect of adam the idea by he besuran melech is that everything is straightened out and it all becomes interwoven one with the other that's the meaning of shurin from the term yashar to straighten out in other words you have it on a slant to the right you have gevura on a slant to the left other marisha takes them and says you're important and you're important okay but nevertheless this is qasid and this is guru the higher experience is where adam a region says to hassel as important as you are you have to get together and we have to straighten you out and i'm going to do it by being the middle man oh this is i think that's what he's saying over here in this segment of the mimer and this is the connection to what he said earlier hashem taking pleasure in creation does hashem have pleasure from the right wing yes does he have pleasure from the left wing yes why because there is room for the left wing there's room for the right wing but nevertheless each is in its own camp hashem says i want more than that for me to really have pleasure from the creation for the world from the from from the if you want me as king you got to get together right and left you got to get together fighting and i think this lesson this idea for us is such a important lesson what's the important lesson that even people who we disagree with even shito's philosophies and ideologies that we disagree with there is a way of bringing everyone together and one needs to bring everyone together you don't well just one second hello you don't start with the the points we disagree with you start with the points we agree with and when people get together and they see you're genuine then even if they disagree with with certain shitas and ideas they still have a relationship i'll just give you an example from rubbish times also show them since it just was a slash a few days ago he was a person who was a what they would call a very orthodox person i mean he wasn't orthodox in his uh in his approach to judaism i mean to say he was very out of the box in a way but i'm saying he was a a fruit person really froome and a citizen person and someone whose life was just about disseminating and teaching tater right how is it that he was invited to speak to non-observant people from the reform movement conservative movement and we'll have to leave and then i mean so you could say okay guys non-jews you know they don't know better or they're not into all this thing but and when he would come in sometimes to a a crowd that was anti-religious he was he he he could tell them that this is not the way god wants you to serve god but never but nevertheless now you know for for the average person to say that they would walk out and i've seen speakers who've said certain things and half of the crowd walks out i had those experiences with some speakers that i brought to marin county i don't want to mention names very popular good speakers but they said some things that i'm not going to say who but i'll give you one example i once brought a speaker well-meaning but he came from from this part of the world brooklyn and he had some rough edges and he said schwarzer half of my crowd walked out and he was a and he was a professional okay he was a professional psychologist psychiatrist a therapist a social worker whatever but he had a rough edge and and he didn't mean anything bad but the people in marin county the seat of liberalism you know smoking the marijuana hot tub right marine county was depicted that way in the 1970s in a movie they're not gonna and where and growing a ponytail and raising pigs in your background back yard i had actually such a yeast from new york who told me he knows better than me why because he's raising pigs in his backyard and wearing the ponytail and he comes from new york so it's so funny you know san francisco we have to tolerate everyone we're liberals accept this and accept this this we can't tolerate but anyway so this fellow great guy but he said the word schwarzer half of the crowd walks out so there is there is you know there is a kayak to be able to say something kind of offensive and people don't walk out on you i think stein's house is one of the only people that i know and and as far as i know you know i believe who was able to do that and you ask yourself why why was he able to do it and i'm not able to do it because i'm more in the box than him and most of us are more in a box and when you're in a box people know you're in a box and when you're in a box with rules and conditions and all that people are on edge i'm not you you're not me why am i here because the topic interests me maybe you'll say something interesting or bright that i'll i'll but but as soon as you say something that you know that i disagree with deep down i'm out of here and he had i don't know what it is but maybe it's this you know bitter in a way his subservience someone just sent me a letter that he wrote to his family in when he the day or night or whatever before a week before he was having a life life serious operation it was like a do or die operation so he says i'm not writing a will but i do want to write some thoughts and it's worth reading if you want to have it i could forward to you it's in hebrew i just got it yesterday and you'll see someone who is really not in a box and and that's uh and that's really by hebrews is the ability to be with everyone where they are and not lose any of your integrity i think that apple was this way too not i think i know the rebel was this way too though though that ebba didn't go out to do public speaking like that people came to him but all kinds of people came to him from a person who brings him a book on joshua and you know and tries to get the rabbit to read the book on yoshika to others who you know bring age old arguments literature arguments to see them to don't ask just look at the gem videos and you'll see exactly what i'm talking about and you ask yourself did they do that because he would did they you think they knew that he was the labacher red but the special soul i'm telling you most of them did not know that because they have no idea what that means but they found a person who's able to hear who they are and is interested in knowing about them and when they come in the rabbit can speak to them for an hour or two about plato and aristotle or about what's going on in lebanon and he's interested and he keeps them there and rabbi groener is opening the door every five minutes ten minutes you gotta come out people are waiting online it's three in the morning and the rubber says soon the tour closes again and another is there again for 10 15 minutes and groener opens the door again and the rabbit says soon and meanwhile the guy stays with the rebel for an hour or whatever why because he was interested in knowing about the field that this person was in that's that's that's that specialty that you're really interested in knowing about the other person regardless of their religious beliefs and when you when you when the person senses that in you they're they they feel good so this is what i call this hashem god almighty looks to create i'm sorry looks to be king over is a place where there is such actus shuts unity amongst people that everyone is straightened out and come to a point where they're integrated one within the other and when we think about this as part of the avoid of rosh hashanah do we do do we think two days are enough to accomplish this a 48 hour is enough for us to let go of our isms and and and and positions and really harmonize ourselves with all with the other person with claudius rule we would really need many more days than 2 to 48 days but okay hashem had mercy on us he knows we can't take more than two days especially not just well if it's two days following the shabbos or so boy do we get antsy and we go nuts we have in here no showers no baby baby and that's what you're showing up worrying about having a shower again i mean it's the rubber you know it reminds me of a short story it was 1954 55 this was before they they made 770 they 7 70 was once an open kind of yard and garage and full of you know no floor and then dirt and rain and snow and and and as the crowd as the casino got bigger and bigger they used to rain over there they made like a tent but when it was rain and really rain hard it would make a lot of mud so it's the early 50s or so the river was for bringing there once and someone said it's cold it's rainy and and the word got to the red and the rabbit spoke about it with with such heart break he says it's shabbos it's yamtis and you're thinking about the mud you're thinking about the cold where are you okay now we're not looking for mud and cold okay but the point is and i've told you this story too we have mendel once in quran the air conditioner was broken it was like a hot day like you guys had or maybe still have 100 degrees and the body yeshiva roof is flat so when the sun bakes it really it creeps seeps in and it was more than probably 120 in that base madrish 3 30 is the time when after lunch the buckham returned for the second session the second seder the base measures empty they're probably elsewhere in some air condition but they're not walking in because the expedition is broken a bucker walks in and he sees one man sitting there and not only is he sitting there he's sitting there with his casquette his sailor's hat and his frock the spear that mental foot of us so he says to remember foot of us you see no one's here maybe if you sat outside they have like a porch and it's a little cooler a little maybe some of the bhakram will come and sit there because you're there are mendel said to him absolutely not because if i do that what am i showing them that when it gets hot and heavy you run away and i'm not going to show them that when it gets hard you don't run you stay with it and you deal with it escapism is the beginning of the downfall and the rabbit by the way was always against this idea of running away running away although it was there were legitimate reasons when the neighborhood here in brooklyn became intolerable in the 60s like it was in chicago and in philly and in boston and in baltimore the rabbit was the only one amongst all the other hasidic rebbies and and rap bunnymen i don't want to mention names but i it's there's a whole plate of names all well-meaning they all ran away my kids will be shot mugged i was mugged in 1969 with my sister i was mugged so it happened this is not someone else i'm telling you what happened to me and the rebbe says in akras pace of 1969 stay put don't sell your houses to non-jewish people don't move what are you running away for this is all part of the i'm sure i'm elaborating to show you how you take on the kuda of hasidis and you then work on it in your mind and you'll see that it opens so many vistas for thought and meditation and that's that's what davening is about don't rush your darkening on rosh hashanah because you have to catch up to the chasm that's not dominating a rosh hashanah i mean you know you want to really doubt it at your own pace as long as you hear all the you've and you answer all the amazing accommodation and then but davin's where it's meaningful to you and when we take some of the thoughts that we're learning in the mimer here you connect you can extrapolate and you can open up it in into a larger than just kes or malcolm's or other equals ma because and and this is something that people they don't have they they don't they weren't trained and they need to be trained to take up my mechasidis and make it real make it part of the the daily experience then you'll want to learn more and more my moral kevin any questions comments hello i was just going to share earlier that when you're talking about the left and the right that there's a there's a very um uh amusing torah in these in the commandos say from pirkei avos no sir passive when he writes on the mission where he says uh have torah indira writes his followers he says derek eretz prischtim there is a pleasure way of there are carrots for korean law politics and he says and what and how do you know he says uh it is the well that's found the fount of falsehood and how do you know he says because it can appear to you that people who are in uh in politics have have a bethina they have a bikini baptist a little oneness he says but you know it's false because it only extends to people who agree with you know it's false because what it only extends extends to people who agree with them oh it only extends to people who agree with them very well said thank you thank you very much moshe um sunday moshe admire sunday there's no shear in the morning because right and also we're starting from monday on a quarter after two okay okay from then on okay yeah because of until the uh the nate sahama i could work it it's just i'm assuming i have to run back and i have to dab and part of it you know it's just the balagon so if we can do you know anyway thanks rabbi i i hope that this year today will give every one of us thought for shabbos as we get closer to rosh hashanah it's it's it's it's coming upon us you know it's not a joke and um i think that these ideas are very very good to work with everyone should have a great job this is this is the this is the game plan for rochester this is the game plan for the show have a great shabbos and we'll see everyone that have a great job at sliches and bye
