we're in the
oscar on page
ice gimmel the third chapter
basically the rebbe
has taught us
until now that there's badika's comments
and beer comments
and
it was said that from the mishnah's
words
that were
from the mishnah's words that were
supposed to check for comments
implication is
that
that the comment itself
you have to check for your own comments
because if it's about the places
then it should have said that
but kim
assam akomos he doesn't say that
you check the comments
so
this is going to talk about a lot more
now from chapter three and on
the last idea was
discussing beerhumpts
and he said a fascinating thing that in
order to really obliterate and burn and
destroy completely
the ego the hummus
the problems
it requires a wealthy man's attitude
now one hand the wealthy man has a sense
of arrogance ashleigh my melody says in
michele
but at the same time
the idea of the wealthy man is
completely wholesome
in other words
a poor person who
is giving
like the gemara says i believe it's
super democs
day is your dollar 14 fill them up fill
them up
that they should have what they need
so there is something that they're
lacking they're deficient in
and they need to be
filled up they need to be given to
complete that hole that the thing that's
missing
an ashi that's that's someone who's on
the
a poor person who's
brought to
to a level where they now are no longer
honey but they were on the end
in essence they are an oni
the other attitude is the poor the
wealthy man's attitude the ushid
and the usher is
completely
look like we say in in in
other words i'm over the top
there's no sense i'm lacking something
but not not again there's the arrogant
side of i'm not lacking anything we're
talking about the healthy side of i'm
not lacking anything meaning hashem is
all good
and the best
remember i told you once a story i was
sitting in shul hanukkah time
waiting for mink i remember
and the gentleman sat next to me i never
saw him before in the stable
and after milk he said he wanted to tell
me something or i started to speak to
him
and he says that he had a yeshides with
the river in 1957
and
at that time the question was whether he
should bring his
his parents i think survivors from
maritime to america he lived already in
america
and he was going to consult with the
river
when he was waiting
but at the door
and the door opened up for him to go in
there was there was there was still a
gentleman inside that was
coming out and he was a hungarian jew
and he overheard the following he
overheard
that ever wish
the gentleman
wishima bracha
and as in
as is the style
in
the hungarian
system of rabbinics and uh
you know even with rebels
they second what the rabbi says in
khabad
you're quiet you don't say a word you
say to yourself i mean if anything but
you don't talk that that's the the or
the reverence in front of a sadiq as
such in the summer
causes you stillness
and there was some siddha
even in our generation who couldn't talk
and they never would talk to them and
ask them to answer he had questions and
they just stood there and looked at them
looked at him
i mean one in particular comes to mind
which wasn't the case he he just was
he became like a statue
and i'm not saying that's the way it has
to be or should be i'm just telling you
what was okay
but by the hungarian khasi then the
polish
you you kind of uh you join the party
and if that ever gives you a bracha you
you mix in and you say and you know
you get involved
so one that ever said to this person
and that ever gave him a bracha for
whatever it was
he said
so then
which is
for may god help that whatever you're
wishing me rabbit should be fulfilled
and then ever looked up at him and this
gentleman who was about to go into
yeshidas told me this because he heard
it firsthand
that ebba said to the hungarian jew
that's walking out
that abrasive health knit
god does not help
air tooth outs
he does everything
beautiful
right
into the bullseye
spot on
and that's the difference i think this
story can explain the difference between
the attitude of the honey
and the attitude of the usher
the ani
you know
there's a dilemma there's an issue
you know
we're gonna help the situation
you know there's two takes two to tangle
the usher's attitude is
there's only there's only god i mean
unfortunately in his arrogance he says
there's only me
but
the idea is that there's only hashem
not that
you help god
it's oh god
naturally of course how does he do
everything
through your hands and through your feet
and through your mouth and through your
mind and through your heart
hashem says i
self-esteem absolutely
you know why
because i god wants self-esteem
because i am self-esteem i'm healthy
self-esteem so i want you
creatures and creations to have healthy
self-esteem
but because you're in the image of god
and that's what we've been learning is
the attitude
that we have to go towards getting rid
of comets
and we spoke about this also when we
learned the mimer recently i'm pouring
as soon as you begin negotiation
negotiating you failed
you lost
because
you know it yeah it might it might be uh
it feels better
it's not confrontational
but you lost now
really
the fact that there's negotiating going
back now the fourth or fifth time and
meanwhile the simultaneously them the
russians are bombing they
they lost
the ukrainians lost america lost nato
lost meaning to say
this shouldn't be the case you should
have from the beginning done something
that would have
stopped it cold i i don't know what
and i'm not suggesting throwing in you
know a nuclear bomb and adam
i'm just saying
but this this whole you know
a little bit here we're gonna dance to
the right and dance to the left and
dance back and dance forward
and meanwhile
thousands are being killed injured
it's it's it's absurd and it's exactly
it's exactly what what happens there to
throw almost every single war
the same thing
shoot fight kill back next
it's like
never never ending so you know we could
laugh and say that mayor kahana was a
you know vigilante and an extremist and
and everything else
you know
but he he he he had a clear vision look
the arabs
our cousins
they feel it's their country too or all
of it it's theirs they're going to make
you problems every time so either you
put it down now and you stop it
or you're gonna have years of agony and
he was right we have years of agony and
the same goes over here with russia and
ukraine
just
continued agony and agony and agony all
you need is
one one time for putin and company to to
wake up on the wrong side and say throw
the bomb yeah what what are we going to
do then what are we what are we going to
do then
you know so my point is the same is with
the the yates ahead of the nephi
bombings beer comets
you got to chop it out you got to cut it
out it doesn't belong here no
negotiating i'm not i'm not interested
in
after we will get rid of the problem
we'll sit down and and and negotiate and
you know but beer comments in other
words here it is avraham
peso comes there's no negotiating you
got to get rid of your comments if you
want to keep what hashem says
not to say maybe a little comments i can
keep one second motion and the same as
with with with the after this week with
melancholic
look
lost the kingship why because in his
mind
the animals the women
my friend you're not god and don't don't
think you can understand god if god if
you want to follow what god says
this is what he said now understandably
you need to be a maisha
a david
a melech
you know it's not for every tom dick and
harry to tell you hey go and kill and go
and purge and go and burn it absolutely
not
but here we're talking about ourselves
for ourselves
we are a melech we are a motion of being
and when there's an issue that's for
ourselves not for our kids not for our
wife not for our friends for ourselves
when there's an issue that's plaguing us
inside internally
you need to take a heart stance yes
maisha
yeah really dolphin can i just ask you
just to go back for a second
the difference between the usher and the
ani usher you're saying
only hashem
he acts to us
but
so the honey you can just just like a a
synapses of the onion
attitude
johnny's attitude is
um there's room for compromise there's
room for negotiating
uh i am a pauper i am a schlepper
i am uh i have low self-esteem
you know
my parents abused me
uh my rabbi ridiculed me at the torah
and in shul when i was 10 years old you
know
all the negatives this problem of that
problem and problem a problem a problem
and
finally they get some solace from
problems but really
the umi's attitude is a problematic one
a troubled one
you know so that's why
over the top means there's no problems
and i'm telling you if you pay attention
and you hear the river and you speak to
people and you read what he wrote to
people
you'll see that a person who went
through the the russian japanese war of
1905 he was a little child then and then
the the 1914 the first world war 1917
the revolution then the second world war
everything else
and that and and coming to america and
everything else you would think he would
be the most morbid you know maharashtra
person
and there ever wrote let's say to a
person like my wife's grandfather was
almost cerebral who was a real hustler
and a real tom mclaughlin an educator
and he wasn't a complainer but
nevertheless he communicated with the
rep about this and that and never writes
them enough with yamara skyra
to him
who was on the same page that was born
1902 he was born 1904
and he was a soldier for the freedom he
was on the line in in the 20s you know
in the underground in the thirties i
mean this is a man who was really part
of the system and that ever says after
you come to america or that case
australia came to australia in 1949 it's
over the top
gordon you all heard of josh gordon you
listen to him right
so his
mosaic there was a bearish and gordon
i'll tell you a story this one i think
i've ever heard usually my stories have
said a hundred times but this story i
don't think you ever heard before
in worcester massachusetts
there lived there of rabbi galinkin that
was his name
he came from the town of duck shits
dog shits at once was poland and russia
ukraine whatever out
who was the shaykh in dakshits
rabbi yochanan gordon rabbi josh
gordon's zeta his grandfather
you know that the according to the
altered the way to sharpen the knife
that you use for the shrita
is different
than the way let's say the svardam use
do the the sharping of knife and that's
why
for those that keep definitely dalted
every eating bass yosef there's big
shyness
i'm not going to make any rulings that
you'll ask your love but it's not simple
it's not just about another hasher
it really has to do with the hash hosa
the sharpening of the knife
and it's a serious issue a serious
allergic issue
okay
again that's if if you're a chabad nick
and you're following dalton ebba's
sock
so
the bjorgenin was in dog shits
the rav of dog shits was a lit was
this rubbing a lincoln that must snag it
and
he
was upset that abby and gordon who was a
great shaykh and a personality
was shifting
the way he sheds and using his knife and
everything else
and he made him a lot of problems
this rabbit lincoln made the rabbit
gordon rabbi yochana gordon a lot of
issues
um you know i i can't say clearly but
some serious issues that you know were
not nice okay
and he did this because what
meaning that the lincoln didn't like
with gordon's approach from the from
from the altar
yeah yeah i mean you know you're a
lubacher
you're shifting for the whole crowd here
and
and it could be there were other issues
you know and halogen issues and your
homerus your stringencies don't put on
the rest of the city and frankly you
know he was a little uh
you know
he wasn't as from as rabbi gordon no i
don't want to get into it but
use your imagination
not that he wasn't from but you know
so
they come to america this is bad
conductions they come to america
his son
may be well rebecca gordon who's already
a 90 year old man
lives in crown heights
he lived in worcester he was i think our
teacher in worcester in reparation
folgerman's
yeshiva
in worcester and he was a teacher there
once a year or so rabbi yochanan would
come
for a yomtiv or something to be with his
son
you stroll in
and one day israel says to him this is
probably in the early 50s
or so he says you know
someone came over to me the rav over
here abigail lincoln and he says he
knows you
from duck shits
and he wants to see when you come to
town
gordon
said i don't want to see him
i don't want to see him
if i see him i'll get very upset
because of what he did to me inductions
yeah so
what israel gordon doesn't know what to
tell rabbi galinkin
somehow
uh
either rebjerk and gordon discussed it
with the red bull that ever got ahold
found out about it
and then i've been told rebjordan
he should he should go see him
and he shouldn't mention a word of what
happened in europe because it's after
the holocaust everything is forgotten
it's a new world
see
that's how there ever was even one step
on top of arabian and gordon there was a
real concept of fungus
you follow
because in that
world view
know these
squibbles whatever that these arguments
these you know issues i see them it's
not them uh you know this that
it's the past
where now thank god survived
we should be happy that we're alive
and it's post holocaust
rebuild only with positivity and guess
what
rabbi gordon listened to
and he embraced and he never mentioned
anything and and galinkin
grabbed around robert gordon and hugged
him
that he's like the the holiest person
in the stand squabbles yeah
thank you
so
what can i tell you what can i tell you
is that
the attitude of an ocean is a very broad
attitude
and the mimer
whatever says this is why it fascinates
me because i never thought of it this
way when it comes to beer hummus
comes to burning comets
you can burn the muhammads with a poor
man's attitude
or you can burn the comets with a rich
man's attitude in
complete com
out of my system
you are unhealthy for me and out of my
system
that's what we learned till now let's
learn a little bit inside page 161
chapter three
and he to explain this further
very famous
saying from the gemara in every
generation a person
must see themselves exiting egypt in
every generation
who makes our meat
sprouted kabbalah that mitzrayim the
word the hebrew word egypt which is
mitzrayim
is comprised of two words mates are
me
the
limitations the
narrowness the mates are
of me
of a level called me
menud
me is equal 40 beena right men i'm sorry
50.
ma'am you're at 50.
it's the
the restriction
on the flow of energy coming from
me
that's mitsura mitzrayim is one second
hillary
mitzrayim is
when
the energies associated with me are
restricted yes hello
i've seen this uh this idea with with
the spelling of the word mate sir yam
is this a is there a different type a
different
explanation or is this a
typo or no no it's not a typo it's two
different concepts
okay
maizayam is referring to yama's alma
discarsia the world of concealment
and mate saryam is the concealment of
almond disgusting the world of
concealment
this idea i believe
is
you know um we'll see in a moment
actually we'll see in a moment how he
explains it but what i was sharing was
what it says in kabbalah as well it's
the restricting of mem yod which is 50
the hamisha shari bina the 50 gates of
bina which is a clarity
so both ideas are true and actually
there's they're connected they're
connected because
the 50
moon sharing is is not revealed it's
concealed so there's a connection
between the two
see if but let's see how he let's see
how the previous rabbit develops it
is written
lift your eyes
who
creates these
the word ela the matter says
it's similar to the word ela in the
verse these are the
the the offspring
of the heavens and the earth
well me but
going back to the previous verse who
creates these
brian creation is called creation x nilo
something from nothing
what do you mean something from nothing
everything is from you so why do we why
do we call god
hashem i ain't nothing
and the infinite god is the true
existence true yes
so why do we call god in the i
i in nothing when we talk about creation
x nilo
you know the idea is the heat exhibit
says
hashem is great
and hashem is to be praised
in the city of god
a messiah
when is hashem great
specifically when he is in the city of
god
ireland
what does he already refer to
it's the world of words of speech
my ear take for example he says a city
who keeps
him how do you have a city it's a
gathering of many homes together make a
city
and a house is a gathering
of in an organized organized fashion of
many bricks many stones
cacho to isis nikolai and worlds are
called avonim
stones
look at the isabel say for your seed as
it says in the book of creation
when you put two together stones you
build two houses shoulders have one and
three stalls by the shisha button you
can make them
you can organize the three stones in
different ways
causing six houses creating six houses
they may stay
with two combinations on the
charlottesville ice and from three
letters shisha tsurufin
by putting together
independent separate stones you create a
home a dwelling place for man da von
demould
because separate scattered cell stones
ain't unbiased my ship is not a settled
normal house
but when you organize the stones
which then becomes a home and a place on
a boat for men that's proper in a canoe
so too
but
often when it comes to letters that are
scattered and you gather the letters and
put them together
the tape
in one word
scholar you then have a certain concept
that the word
denotes
the oasis
is if you have scattered separate
letters ain't no noises
um
they have no idea alex
bass
it's just letters
when you put them together in one word
the combat davis you put together
several words in the sentence
they have one concept altogether 162.
the iran okay know who cleveland
so when we talk about the city of god
he says this refers to god's power
of
speech
she closes
the overall idea of deeper of speech is
the name of god that's known as elokim
kosovo says
him and elohim said the talmud
why is hashem called here the city of
elokeno it doesn't say ear youth
or ear kale but it says
he is the god of the entire world who
defeat in other words eloquentu means
our god
only the jewish people's god god is not
the god of the whole world why is that
that's what his question is
the entire world primarily
was created for the eden
the shame
the classy little know so just as
yerushalayim is called the ear of god
yerushalayim is separate from all other
cities
people human souls
and it's wonderous
and my nation the jews
they are different than all other
nations
israel the jewish souls
they are vessels
to the dwelling of gods
i
but i didn't i didn't designate my name
that's why the verse says it's the city
of our god the nisham is israel because
jewish souls are hideous
but feel through the words of
tyrantrilla hey mocking the shift to his
body dwelling place for god
that's why
it was it was it was it was arranged to
learn missionaires because mishnah are
the same letters as the word neshama
just reversed
the the tanya
oysius aysen
and it was arranged to learn tanya
because the letters tanya
is reversed the letters asa which means
might
balpair
the locks are actually saying this is
very unique you don't find that my
mercedes
to equate
tanya to mishna
you know it's a mymar is
yes a little barbecue said it but a
minor is godly godliness so
you know mishna is for claudius role
tanya kind of
the point is it's for claudius role too
it's not just for laboratories but i'm
saying this is very unique
that you find in a moment with the uh
rabbit saying that my mercedes and and
he's revealing godliness and he says
clearly memorizing mishna by heart and
memorizing words of tanya by heart
this will cause your mind and your heart
mushroom blood of course to be dedicated
to god your smoking shift is brought up
that you become a place for god a
dwelling and a bold gazelle
god is great and his praise worthy being
a volcano in the city of god
now heaven do you want to learn tomorrow
or are you too busy because it's a tiny
sister and you're sleeping and you're
tired at this time i need to know
um so tell me if you if you plan on
coming
i don't know
i'm gonna try to go to my dad tomorrow
