so we're learning uh the second section
of we're on
page
158 the last line the second word on the
line the balatan here introduced a very
important idea the idea
being
that when Hashem created the world when
Hashem thought of creating the world he
thought he he wanted to create the world
with gur with restrictions and
discipline and
limitations in Hebrew known as G or
midin the attribute of judgment and he
saw that the world can't handle it won't
be able to handle it so he partnered he
he gave the attribute of din a partner
the mid of R of mercy and Dr Reb is
saying in this continuation of the
brackets that he began at the end of
chapter 4 that this is similar the
reason for this is
because because when we talk about
judgment as a as a method of of
creating it doesn't mean judgment as a
blockage because you can't create from a
blockage simply speaking Mark in order
to create something to make something
there has to be positivity there you
can't hold
back I hold
back and at the same time I'm giving you
know when we talk about let's say tough
love you
know tough love is a is is within love
it's not within
judgment the application of love in the
form of tough love is tough
love but the the the purpose the
ideology of tough love is to give to
help but if I'm going to give you the
knife and you're a child you're going to
cut yourself and hurt yourself so I'm
I'm showing the Love to You by holding
back if we use this as an
example this explains also what the AL
is saying over
here that when Hashem created the when
Hashem thought of creation wanted to
create the world it wasn't that he
said I want to create the world with
judgment and block out God from the
world restrict God that's not
creation that's holding
back what this means is that he wanted
to create with judgment as judgment is
part of
God's
Infinity because as soon as you say God
is infinite and Hashem is infinite this
means that the power of infinity
includes
both giving in the in the application of
giving and seeing that it's being given
and felt that it's being given and it's
also simultaneously true that for the
betterment of
creatures he Alters filters harnesses
that giving Which is the concept of
Judgment of
gura
also why if that's the case why didn't
God create the world with
judgment why does the medra say that
God boy God partnered made within the
Judgment in his his thought when he was
wanted to create the
world mercy and this is what he starts
explain today let's go right to the text
the bottom of 58 theu the the last line
the second word theu
refers
to the revelation of
godliness through the righteous people
righteous individuals amongst the Jewish
people known as sikim top of page pay
now next
page and signs and
miracles within the Torah and these five
words so are are very very short and we
really don't know what he's trying to
say but this is what he's trying to say
this is what he's saying
is saying
Mercy Mercy is the element within
creation that shatters
convention you see one way would be to
say like this God create created the
world with nature and nature
dominates and from time to time there's
a miracle there's a sign there's a
revelation of godliness through these
great people called
sadik but it's not part of creation it's
inserted and imposed on creation what Al
is saying here wrong it's part of
creation but the format of r that it
that it takes in being part of creation
is that it comes in the way of a sign a
miracle through
sadik and he adds the word shab
the top of the the first line on page P
the third word chab Tor why does he have
to add is the word
chabah all of that is
the what is the expression that God
partnered and in
creation having a
simultaneous equal all equal
part of God within creation it's both
judgment restriction and Revelation fine
what is it have to say
sh so this is a very important word and
this explains everything why because
when you look at things from the
perspective of Torah both judgment I.E
restriction and sikim and Revelation and
miracles are all part of t in other
words if not for God is saying in the
tah that sikim and miracles are all not
not just an imposition to nature but
part of nature they would be perceived
as an
imposition and then what would be the
feeling is what would be our feeling
what's the difference whether we
sayik signs and miracles are an
imposition on nature or it's part of
nature
it's part of creation the difference is
in the
reality how do not just from our
perspective From hashem's
perspective are sikim signs of Miracles
are they an integral part of what he
created or no they're an adjunct and
that's the
answer if it wouldn't say shab then it
would it would mean that they're
important but they're an ad adjunct to
creation and if you say it's an adjunct
to Creation then you're stripping God
from you're stripping God from that
aspect of creation and would be it would
be lacking in unity so God's Unity
the that we talk about there's nothing
besides God and everything is God Etc
requires because God says I want this
that it should be not an adjunct to
Creation but actually an integral part
of
creation and this also explains when we
go to a sadik and now this coming Sunday
is the and is said that this year
they're make they're celebrating it in
raes
so I'm going to
say without any compar comparison
it's
like you know the the home team you know
so the whole city if the World Series is
here or the Super Bowl is between uh you
know the the the Phillies I don't not
the Phillies the Eagles and and the and
and and and another team from the East
Coast or Midwest and they're hosting at
the at the in Pasadena at the rosebowl
or
Nevada everyone comes the city makes
millions and millions of dollars right
the the the
idea that Miracles and sadik are part of
creation means they're the home
team so when I go to the rash this
Sunday is it's such a holy day it's the
celebration of
P okay you know we we have the idea that
R aka the students OFA didn't respect
each other and they stopped dying this
Sunday it's one of the reasons for the
celebration the other reason and in a
way the the the greater reason is the
the one who authored the tradition is
the zor the holy zor he passed away on L
and he he wanted everyone to Rejoice on
that day because the soul ascends to a
higher level yes
M delin can you just forgive me just to
go back for a second
like have take a half a step back when
would we ever say that something like is
not a part of creation when when the
when the medis good question the medish
the med
says that initially God wanted to create
the world with
judgment judgment means no sikim no
Miracles you know just tit for act
nature that's that's what the me says
God had that thought
initially he saw that the world is not
capable of handling it right it's too
restrictive it's too mean it won't
accomplish the purpose so God partnered
and brought in Mercy that's what it says
in
Mish Mercy meaning the and the AL
defines that in more practical World
words that God revealed himself Vis
sadik Miracles and signs which is out of
the
ordinary and he insert and he in not not
just inserted
it he
said then judgment I can't create a
world just with judgment just with
nature I have I want to create a world
that has this as an integral ingredient
of the world so when you call upon a
sadik and you believe in a sadic and you
you ask for a sadic to intercede on your
behalf to pray for you your family your
friends your country and everything else
it's not that you're doing something
outside
of God it's God's it's just as much God
but there is the way God expresses
himself in nature and there is the way
God expressed himself in the
Supernatural I.E sadim miracles signs
Etc let's
continue top of page
P says the this is also supported by a
statement above meaning in the world
ofus in the holy world of emanation in
the world of of closest to
God on the side of holiness superal side
of Holiness is there is the
right and there is the
left the this
means that in there is the of God the
kindness of God and there is the
Restriction the Judgment of
God look is this is what he says both
are equal attributes of godliness
which transcend the logic of
creatures
[Music]
comprehension because God and His
causations meaning and all of his mid
are
one so this this is proof this piece of
Z is proof to what the Al said earlier a
moment ago that this idea of of
both and and and and and and ra I both
shim and
Shan as being just as much part of
Hashem is supported by the saying in the
Z now he
questions but wait a second We Know M
for example who was
the the greatest prophet
didn't didn't have
comprehension as he as Moses as Moses
was on Earth he didn't
perceive the level of aus the level of
closeness to God as great as he was and
he was he was our our you know Moos our
teacher and he took us out of MIM of
Egypt yeah m mosha is great Mark he's a
great guy but don't tell me that he is
as great as look what he
says and even the comprehension that
had while he prophesies while he was a a
prophet was not at the level
of it was
rather as it was
invested in the world of creation the
second and lower world
old and it wasn't a perception that was
equal both through kindness and severity
I'll explain a moment
better moshe's understanding of God was
as the pure attributes invest himself in
something that's
lower is the mid of Splendor sorry of um
Victory n
endurance H which is Splendor and
acknowledgement and Y which is the
foundation meaning like
this when you compare the attributes of
and how does Express itself
kindness kindness expressed itself that
it's all out kindness to the point
nothing stop it that's that's a that's a
notion
of
endurance nothing in other words if if
you really
have then nothing will get in the way
even when there's obstacles you'll
overcome that's the concept of
of judgment
restriction is the idea of
discipline acknowledgement you know that
right the is within
right acknowledgement acceptance is
follow listen I just put up a clip I
might have sent it to you guys about I'm
doing now a series on different and what
we can learn from
them and I did the first one was the
famous the Brun France
yes who excelled in C
discipline so
gur which is the power of discipline how
does it express
itself in acceptance is
acceptance is endurance
determination is
acceptance and
both I'm sorry and expresss in which is
the foundation what do you mean the
foundation it it it builds man
a a person that's weak in either of the
two is missing in their
manhood you hear that I'll repeat that a
person who's
lacking in some of their and some of
their in some of their some of their is
Missing full
manhood what what do I mean what do I
mean that there strong in in being kind
very nice but when it comes to saying no
and limiting and and restricting they
they fall apart then there are people
who are great disciplinarians they can
say no and all that when it comes to
giving and being kind and benevolent all
that they lack in that area so both of
them when both put together is basically
a or as we say in English Charisma a
charismatic person
a charismatic person means the person
has a good blend an excellent blend
of
of where is it that that's expressed in
the
foundation right the foundation of a
building m is is is is is the place
where either the building is going to
exist or not
exist I told you I think when reun mun
my my my employer my The Head of the
State of California when I was working
for him in Marine County and he asked me
wants to pick him up at the San
Francisco Airport and took him out to
the kabad house in Berkeley I don't know
if any of you have been there on the
forget the name of the street wearing
Avenue I
think it was a a former fraternity house
you know and they bought it it was kabad
house and then he went to see the Mikvah
they had built a Mikvah there a women's
Mikvah kosher Mikvah and he gets out of
the car and the first thing he does he
goes to he goes under the building I
never saw this you know I was you know
in my late 20s still a you know
relatively young man and and here this R
cuden who's built kabad in California is
lying on the floor crawling on the
building he came out and I said re cin
what are you
doing he says what am I doing you know I
want to see if if if you know I'm being
assessed on the house and tax and
insurance and this and that I have to
know what the house is worth if there's
an issue with the foundation everything
on top is
worthless if the foundation is strong
and there's issues with the Cosmetics
big deal like Mark M moved into a
beautiful place in Fort Lauderdale and
he's fixing it up you know you can you
can make you can turn you can turn ugly
ugly uh Cosmetics into Beauty right
the question is the
foundation in we have a concept
called the
foundation is the foundation strong says
the AL
here the foundation is strong when you
have a good mix of and and that's true
in life a person who's strong in either
or is not the ultimate you find many
people who are unbelievable kind people
B
but when it comes to the displaying G
which we need at times judgment
restriction holding back saying No On
and On they have nothing of it they
can't there's no one there's no one home
then you have other people that can only
say no and only be re judgmental and
blah blah blah blah but it comes toid
they're not they don't have it those
individuals are not the ultimate they're
not they're not wholesome
someone who has a mixture of both and
the right mixture is wholesome so that's
what I meant when I said they're lacking
or in their manhood that's what I meant
if someone is only or only they're
lacking in their
manhood when they have the combination
of two of both their manhood is
wholesome now I'm saying all this
because the AL says here as he
explains that that that thatu
as great as mha was and and and
especially when he
prophesized it wasn't nilus why because
Aus the world of aus is the world of
godliness Every Creature including aad
including m
raenu is not is not created from Aus
it's created from
Bria right creation begins in Bria
within Bria
they are different souls and different
experiences that's what he says here
let's
continue nevertheless the
reward for begen in
Paradise it's the comprehension of the
extension of the energy of
God and the and the light that's drawn
from these
two and this is the food of if you ever
wondering what type of Cheerios of
weedies the sadik are eating spiritually
speaking metaphorically speaking in GH
Paradise it's says here in the name of
Caba what that
is this is the food for The Souls of
who studied Torah for the sake of Torah
not any ulterior s sake but the sake of
Torah while on
Earth because when these two attributes
of and are
extended there spreads itself a heaven
kind of over the
soul and this heaven we call
The Secret of Torah the esoteric idea
Torah and in in it there are the the
secrets behind the 22 letters of
the that have been given have been the
secrets have been given from these two
attributes
of it
says is the right the right represents
what
kindness a fire of religion
fire
is the is given from the
right it's a burning religion religion
it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a Torah
that has both kindness and restriction
wasn't so from
this Heaven from this spiritual reality
there drips do as food to the souls this
is kind of the food that the souls eat
we're talking metaphorically speaking
in they know the secrets of the 22
secrets
of this
explains why
shim or the re or another sad why we go
to them and why we accept their words as
God's words why because they're living
with this reality you and I don't know
the secrets of the 22 letters of
the
right they'll say my name is m my name
is is my name is my name is very nice
what does that mean okay is life AB is
Abraham etc etc but what is the what's
the spiritual energy that's communicated
through these
names and through all words Hebrew words
of the Torah we don't know guess who
knows it's
s so when a sadic a when you go go to a
sadic and you ask him to D to hasem to
intercede on your behalf of and health
and whatever
else you're the sadik is identified with
the identifying with the letters of t
and this is very important because those
that don't have sadik let's say the Lish
World they have G very
good but this concept that an individual
can can identify and be included in the
secrets of t as expressed in the letters
of t this is not a this is a concept yes
is that I assuming I'm assuming that
that's I'm assuming that that
is why when one goes to see a RAB one
gives a is that correct um
names yeah right right right one gives
aittle with the names if that's the
minic you know because you want the the
Reven sadic to to either read the names
think about the names look at the names
and see what the Torah says about those
names and draw a blessing into those
names that's
correct but it's not it's not only it's
not only uh you know names of of of
people and children and family which of
course is true it's the it's the overall
idea in other
words Isa wants to know should I live in
Tokyo take a job as a doctor should I
live in China I in there goes to his
goes to his
Reb if you believe in that you believe
that what he tells you is
the that are for
you so he expresses it by saying you
know in any language go here or there or
do this or that but it's it's coming
from
the the words of the
Torah and that's also by the way they
talk about people putting in letters
into or the
right
the I
believe Ina he brings from the that they
had What's called the and they weren't
they were lit Fox we would open up
aish and whatever the Kish opened to he
would find there something relevant to
the question that was being asked of him
which is analogous you know to an
opening an things like that
so what's what's the idea whether you're
or or non or what's the
difference what's the idea the idea
is because it's the it's the guidance of
T that has both has the Charisma Torah
is
charismatic Torah is
wholesome Torah sees the whole picture
not just part of the picture you know in
other words when when you come to a
sadic and you seek their
guidance they're giving you in those few
words they're giving you a whole
picture yeah you would like it to be a
long
essay fully written and and scripted
it's not that
way right but that's what Al is saying
here you should know that it's the let
me just finish and he
says because this spiritual Heaven that
hovers over theik is the secret idea of
Das Das has we learned at the end of
chapter 3 in Tanya right it has both and
kindness and severity kindness and
judgment study is the food for the souls
in in our observ
ofz we create garments so the soul is
not cold is not hot putting on the right
clothing for the right time right season
spiritually
speaking has explained all
this tomorrow we'll
continue with the next chapter so it
went a little fast but it it'll do for
now cuz uh that's what that's what we
can handle right now everyone see you
tomorrow take care bye-bye
