Ukraine #11- Don't be Embarrassed w your Past bc G-d isn't -Fight for yr rights Ohr lArba 1940

so we're on page 164 and uh that ever told gave us a muscle of something oh his point he was worth that explaining was that that that hashem the god is transcendent and even to box god into being great there's a limitation and he quoted the ghazal the malcolm the exact place where you find god's greatness you find his modesty it's a famous ghazal and habakkuk see this the way it explains it is that this khazal this statement of the sages is demonstrative of god's essence because if god were to be only great then you you can't say that in the exact location where you have god's greatness you have his humility as well it doesn't is he great or humble make up your mind see this kabbalah explains that this is talking about a level of god an experience of god which transcends any and all definitions we call that inhabited athmos excellent essence so the odds of his experience is transcendental the muscle then did have a broader muscle the previously brought muscle here from someone who makes a big deal about um gold coins and if he has gold coins the silver coins are are insignificant but if you're really a wealthy person then you kind of have both and both are are are not the the subject matter the item matter isn't what grasps you what grabs you but rather it's the concept of wealth you know it it's the subject of wealth so what's the difference if it's gold coins or silver coins so the answer is that gold is so much is worth so much more than silver that's true when you give an evaluation and a definition and establish a fact that gold is more than silver but if you look at it as part of the overall wealth i issue that god brings into the world then they're all the same because they both be speak god that was his nakuda so that was the muscle so so too don't tell me that god is only great and that and that if if if there's any uh idea of god being not great but humble and all that he's not the same god that ever says that's that's then you're not identifying the real god and this idea has its repercussions in in in practical life in in where at times we we view god as us in a certain image and and by the way this was the novelty of the baal shem tov hasidis in general versus this before the malshemptov before the baal shem tov the value of a jew was was looked upon based on their knowledge and their information and what they owned and what they possessed and the balchemt of came along and said you have it all wrong that's not what a jew is that's not what a yi there is a yid's in the shama and if as long as you have a jewish december or you went through a a proper conversion which which means that you always had a jewish dishonest i didn't speak about this yesterday but the idea is that abba always cited says that if you look into the gemara the gomorrah says three individuals their sins are forgiven one is a cotton a miner that becomes a major meaning he becomes an adult bar mitzvah and and and the uh we'll skip the second one the third one is uh a gayers gayer shinozugair a convert that converts so that he asks the question wait a minute it should have said not a convert that converts but a guy a non-jew converts just as it says a miner who becomes an adult the mother should have said of a goshen is gaia why is the language gash in this gaia teaches us that this proves that a a convert a real convert to judaism was never a guy was never a gentile not that gentiles are bad but he wasn't a gentile she wasn't a gentile then roshama was always jewish and this teaching precedes this is judaism 101 khido and this is a fundamental teaching in my interview with uh uh rabbi doctor uh rabbi labelle wolf i sent it out on the group i believe if you didn't listen to it it's a phenomenal interview not because i did it because of him and he talks he shares discussions that he had with the rebber in 1970-71 at the madison wisconsin college campus hilo college campus he was the hillel rabbi and he tells the story it's fascinating fascinating and one of the issues is about converts you have to hear it i won't do any justice repeating it but he repeats what they almost verbatim what they've ever told them and that ever told them this vert and i heard it from the rabbit many times at the fabranians but so but that's why i say when we talk about hashem hashem is not boxed in to someone who was only born to a jewish mother it's not true hashem is so great that he has many ways of expressing his jewish people and one is through a comfort and as says because a comfort always has a jewish dish in other words it's all about the soul it's all about the soul it's not about the body and this idea is is better understood based on what we're saying if one's image of god is greatness then one's image of god is you know being the jew and not being a non-jew having a beard not having a beard you know being orthodox not being orthodox etc etc but if you understand that the essence is the neshama then all those things are very important but they're all part of a larger picture and the larger picture is the essence of hashem and therefore there are many ways how one comes to hashem and there's the whole idea of the baal teshuva the baltishuva who you know at one point in their life they they committed trans transgressions against god even great sadiq can't stand there says the says see this explains that's because the bolshevik shows that god is greater than mitzvahs and sins mitzvahs and sins are also a definition so if you're if you're if your god is only a mitzvah god then we got a problem the problem is not that a sinner can't be part of god the problem is that you don't have an understanding of god and it's funny to talking to you about it again yesterday a phone call with someone who was embarrassed that his father who did a lot for judaism was not religious at a certain point in their life in his life and i know about this father he's ready nyla mammoth if we did as much as he did for the jewish people and and eric's israel we would go right into ghanaian and yet the son who's been um seemingly you know uh indoctrinated in a certain way you know um has this embarrassment what are you embarrassed about and i and i said to him like what are you embarrassed about well he says you know well my father you know had interesting ideas and he wasn't religious and and and and uh he did a lot it's true but but but but but i don't want to say him it's all your ego it's all your ego and what they taught you you know don't play god your father is in heaven i'm sure he's done aiden he did so much for yiddish guy today inaudible you all know his name so i'm not going to say it because you're all benefiting for what he did and yet there are people who are embarrassed and and and so much so that he says to me that it would bring to russian horror do you understand i'm coming i had no idea like i'm coming sincere and pure and he's telling me you know i'd rather you don't say write this or write this or write this because it'll bring up something that's that that will be no it's your lush and hard not mine because you bucked yourself in get out of the box and be broad-minded and stop with these you know limitations and you'd be happier and you'll and you'll ha and you'll see that what your father did was kevaldic and yes and he became about to shuver no one no one is is exposing you know his his his his uh grievances of his past which i who says he had even those but the way the what struck me is like so many years later how how people are walking around with these you know negative issues you know and and when it's really just one's mindset so when we learn here in the mind about god okay and we talk about hashem being of atmos it has far implications it's much more than just this mimer to those learning siddhas i just wanted to give you an example maisha always wants concrete practical examples this is very concrete had a little piece and a mimer that seems so far removed from anything practical has the greatest practicality and and and you all know that this is the the underlying attitude of the chabad i mean again it's for any jew but that go out and and and and deal with all kinds of eden this is the idea the idea is don't box god in into one and that into one style and that's what the rabbit said that's what ever said i think i've told you you know people have say have said to me over the years it's so hard it's so hard and i say and for me it's not hard well i don't have i'm not i don't have titus it's hard for everybody you control yourself you work on yourself you do your best so but i was raised this way so you were raised with eating a hamburger and i was raised with being about guy film what's the difference who says eating a hamburger is worse than being about guys you you you show me where it says it's worse who says eating you know um have the sleeping around is worse than than than anger you say you you decide oh i can point to a first in the torah but anger anger is it is an old swarm like that small change man no big deal yes my yeah this is exactly why i remember when we first came here to thrill you know in in chicago and new york of silver and hutzlarz we never heard this word we also never we also never heard the word karadi right when i i started hearing this word hiloni and i said you know what it just didn't it didn't resonate well with me also also kharadi as well so i tell people i tell people um how can you call another person what person doesn't do any mitzvahs but the person he doesn't do any meaning even as let's say he's not intending to do them so to speak as mitzvahs but the physical acts that he's doing or the mental acts that he's doing qualify as mitzvahs so how can a person call another person killoni it's it's so i i i you know and and the the rabbit the rabbit told people not to use though that word you should know over the years that rebel was very very upset when people use the word fellaini about another jew okay let's go back to the text 164. so yeah beautiful beautiful yeah yeah but but we need someone to fund the campaign from the show to put it on all the big billboards and they're just throwing the highways uh you know yeah yeah that that's what we need someone who believes in what you just said and to pay for it who can afford it and and we need a grass root effort to to to to do this obviously with all the chabads doing in artistrol it still hasn't changed the animosity um between you know these jews and that you those jews you know it's it's still a very big problem i mean i i i hope it's a little less but there's a lot of work to do you know and um if i may say it seems to me i i don't know what you guys think but the more right-wing people have become in all the communities more from and all that the more they they alienate and and the the non yet from jews and and to the point of you know just standing on a plane i remember various times over the years and and you could see how angry and upset the not from people were on the ll flight why what what is the fruit guy doing why does it bother you if he dives in the back but there was a greater animosity that they displayed which is wrong but i understand where they're coming from you know if if the from if we would be nicer to them generally speaking generally speaking you you you wouldn't have the animosity okay they would have questions they wouldn't like it but i mean i said i think i told you once i sat on a little plot a hello flight with a guy someone like that luckily there was there wasn't anyone between us and he really started before we took off he started to really be hostile to me and i turned them i said listen we have two choices we have 10 hours sitting together here you can either continue you know i don't want to use the word b-i-t you know b-i-t at me you know and believe me it's it's water off my back i'll fall asleep and you could you ain't changing me and i'm probably not changing you or we could engage in some meaningful useful conversation and we became good friends you know their ways of mitigating situations and people you know people that have that right away there's something bothering them and if they see that you're you're you're different and and and you know you could soften them up and there's a lot of cases and i don't have to tell you you know just the angrier a person is the more you have what to work with so the less angry they are the more apathetic and cold they are that's a worse problem that's a greater problem because you have nothing to to deal with they're totally you know not interested that's that's the worst thing i love people who want to challenge and challenge and question and argue come on that's good that's good you know anyway let's continue here okay one sixty-five right yeah were you able to be matar of that guy the guy that sat next to you for dinner i i was because of him to the point that that he he he felt good about about from people you know because that's what i represent and um i forget now i think um i connected him to someone and he started to do business with a with a from jew and then i heard that he put on film oh that was it that was it well he that was it he didn't want to put on film at the end he put on filling and then i think he wrote to me in an email this is years ago that he started to put on film you know so if my my little you know ten hour input was that i softened him and that he saw that not all from yeden are the way he experienced them you know in eric's role you know so we have our work cut out for ourselves anyway we have we have to learn to consider so we're good we keep on for bringing here day and night anyway the heena six lines seven lives at the top of shame available that ever now says when we say god is great in the city of god right quoting the verse this refers to an emanation of god's name uh it's an it's an emanation of god's name of youth kevoth we call this a reflection is sir it's not it's a there's the word or light and means a reflection of the light and this reflection is in the name of it displayed in the name of god known as elokim and in this and in this reflection of god in this amount of godliness present in the world one can have comprehension this is the meaning and god is very praiseworthy why does it have to say god if we say already abram that hashem is great why do we have to say he's very praiseworthy it's so self-understood says that said this no let's see what he says when can you praise god when you can perceive god when do you perceive god only in the reflection of god when it comes to the essence of god i can't praise him he's beyond praise because praise is also a definition right i praise you yoni i praise you you're a wonderful person you help out the show you do this right that's very nice but that's not your essence it's it's it's a manifestation a praise so in other words the the praise is is i i identified with not the essence but the manifestation so to in god god hashem when is god great when do i perceive god as great when god has removed has um put himself into a reflection through the name elohim and that i can comprehend cavaldi great and then let me tell you something this is also important because this teaches us and the more citizens you learn you'll understand this better that has comprehension is not the end-all in other words in gemara right hand connection just passed away a person who learned gemara understands gemara is seemingly the greatest guess what they were greater people people who knew who understood the talmud better than him but they weren't as accessible as him so they didn't have the hundreds of thousands of people coming to him and coming to his levia even though they understood better did he hit a point in other words my father-in-law is coming up vlogness in the blessed memory he left instructions to learn a minor that the previous rabbis wrote in what's called say for my moral yiddish and it's on the mission and paired gimbal i believe it's culture whoever people say he's a nice guy god says i agree with them he's a nice guy and in this mimer which is it it's so you read it you you it's like you're reading perky obvious like what does it have to do with khasiddhis it's the essence of asides the answers of siddhis is having good middles so my father-in-law said you want to do something to my soul learn this mimer be a better mensch but bryan kenesky i'm just using because he just passed away to me again just you know and i'm an outsider you know i his godless his greatness is his him being a nice person and accessible to people not not that he learned day and night okay there was a birthday and night 17 18 hours and not that he knew you know there are others i'm not saying there are many others but there are others but the successor accessibility and this you know easy goingness this type is that's a special meeting like i told you earlier about emotion so over here too let's go back to the mimer the aim is there being a reflect the way god puts himself into a reflection is can be understood and that's when you can praise him but that's not the essence of god so when it says god is a definit is a definition an explanation an explanation what aspect of god we're talking about the comprehensible god not the essential god let's continue the martian de la no elect who may place of his book what do we know about godliness what we know about godliness is from the actions of god hanoi they shame elohim which requires the name of elohim to facilitate god so elokim um compartmentalizes god's essence and brings results that we can relate to aval asked bullseye insof and jake and clown motion the words when it comes to the essence of god's infinity there is no finding there is no ability to search and find and say i got it you got nada he goes back to the open the idea a messiah god or when is god great because you'll be located when he's in the city of god god then in that manifestation of realm you can call god great abu look do not say or you talk about the essential greatness and there is no searching there is no finding the verse says see who created all this the creation amen you saw your day out of shame our bible shape although the manifestation of creation is through the reflection of god's essence in the name of uk bufky as reflected by the name of the kim abu bayamus he may ask but the truth is that creation itself comes from the name of utk buffke as god is alone with vader and the only one who can with his ability to create something from nothing yes me i in cannot be created by angels is earth yes mayan cannot be created by souls yes miyan cannot be created by elokim yashmi ayan can only be created by the essence of god find me a person who can make yeshua in and you and i'll give you a an award you won't something from nothing no yes you're gonna say my dear how are you that nothing to something let's continue that's why we call the creation something from nothing four lines to the bottom of the paragraph it is not understood everything comes from so why do we say the creation x nilo is yes it should say yes that's the question that says that but it's the answer isn't the words themselves because everything comes from you you being infinite who built him muslim and therefore you're not comprehensible that's why we're identifying god in the sense of creation as nothing why alef refers to a level of god as god is reflected in the in the shame elohim that's the aspect of god that we can comprehend and habeas the second meaning of ayan is shaina music he's not comprehensible this aspect of creation just as javison said a moment ago that this aspect of creation is not is beyond comprehension you understand there is not i don't understand something and then there is it's not that i don't understand the idea is not comprehensible without my mind without anyone's mind it transcends the english word it transcends comprehension i know this means but of the essence of god that we have no understanding and ability to search and find at all and that is why specifically we call creation something from nothing the fish in the car cold in other because everything's from you we do not have a word to explain creation in a manner that really shows that it comes from god's essence which transcends comprehension except for the word iron we don't have that so we call it nothing and from our perspective it's nothing we can't relate to it but from god's perspective it's everything so it's not a contradiction will continue next monday uh it's shabbos right shabbos or not yes yes make sure make sure make sure you get your red heifers ready and i think it's easy to find it i used to be red and sometimes i act like a porra like an ox but it's not
