patrick hey
is that correct moshe
actually rabbit dolphin i think we're i
think we're on
like
i think we're on 160 right
162. no no no no no we're we we're we're
at the end we finished the pay of pay
rick so we're at 162.
uh payrick dalit
the last thing that ever said which uh
caught my attention and i shared it with
you but i'll repeat it some of you
weren't here
is that ebber speaks about the previous
rebels the author of this mimer that he
said in 1940 and much i did uh research
it was said the day he came to lakewood
and hess nissen 1940
that ever traveled they took him by car
from uh from the greystone hotel in
manhattan to lakewood which he spent and
he spent pace up there
so when he came in the afternoon he set
up my merchandise this mimer so
you asked me about it so i did look that
up and that's the answer but going back
to the nakuta that he says here he
speaks about
building spiritual homes
through
ice and he says the way to do it is to
memorize
mishna because the word missionary first
is the shama
and tanya because the word tanya
reversed is a-sun which means strength
strong a sun
and the rabbit says these should be
memorized the actual words and reviewed
uh as you
walk in the streets and wherever else
that's permissible to do that um
and then says that the the last two
lines of the previous chapter this
causes
when you do that that
levi
it makes your mind and your heart
mishubha dedicated like mortgaged
to godliness
and that's the way you build a spiritual
city so practically without philosophy
without khasi there's kabbalah
simply speaking
everyone has to memorize a mishnah for
berkey obviously
that's part of a mishna you memorize
that and you walk up and down delay when
you're walking up hamburg and all the
streets
keep your mind fresh
say the words
i saw myself the rebel walking from 770
to his house on president street it's
only like four or five blocks it's not a
long walk
and i could see his lips you know going
like this you know like a little bit you
know very very discreetly you know but i
saw it and i saw it by other people too
uh if you if you're not used to and it's
hard for you to do that actually with
your lips you think
you think with your makshava
whatever mishna talks to you but you
need to sit down and memorize it this is
what we did when we were boys
uh in yeshiva i'll tell you a little uh
story it was a
just um an interesting anecdote
it was 1971 or 72 camp garnier's role in
parksville the flagship station of all
camp guys roles was the camp guys role
in the catskills
so i was there as a boy 10 years old 11
years old 12 years old and um
uh my friend uh
levi garelick today he's one of one of
the robun like unofficial rob bunny
macron heights and a very
you know useful talented person
so we were in color war and we were on
the same team
and we were losing
at least this is what they told us
they came over to us and he says there's
only one way we're gonna win
is if you memorize uh i think sectors
by heart
so you your our team will points will go
up and we'll win you know and we were so
like
you know so pure so you know that's they
told us that's what we did and between
him and i we memorized like in a day or
two the entire we sat and learned to mix
there and oh i probably was 12 or so 13
i don't remember and just learned and we
both finished the entire masset and and
we won color war
so
you know
when you're when you're a young
impressionable pure mind you know you do
it you know i'm not on the shmup but you
do it for a prize you do it
then as you get older and you start
learning the swara magdalene
and also hasidis
and then the previous especially
this idea of memorizing terrible pair
you'll find
pretty much only in the previous rebels
my moral discourses and sikhs
the rabbi and before didn't that wasn't
their language
and there even the rabbit that wasn't
his style but the previous rebbe
if you know the period in which he lived
which he was 1920 to 30 in russia 1930
or 30 you know 30 or so to 40 in poland
and 1940 to 15 america the times
were such
just like network people are running now
they're so they're in ukraine they're so
unsettled like who has time now to sit
and learn about camaro with mufashim
you know you're saving your life so what
can you do
memorize and say words of torah because
you got to run anyway so what do you
when you're running in the street with
your suitcases
you know you're running you could think
so the previous rabbit
he zoned in on the time when stalin came
out with his decrees in the 20s
and then the issues of the 30s
um
although you know it was the first it
was a region that he was in poland you
know uh crystal knuckle 2038 but
the times were such that
this spoke to people and this is what he
suggested then he came to america he
spoke about
tara saavir you'll find that mesikas
purifying the air purifying the
environment
why most americans uh
we're not yeshiva bakarim okay this
whole idea of of yeshiva is is a new
phenomenon
my grandfather who was a romanian
husset of of
divisionist dynasty although he didn't
look that way he was clear shaving most
of his life
but but he came from you know visions of
hasidim and if he went to arab there was
the vision it said rebbe you know
um and he wanted my father at the age of
15 to drop out of yeshiva in krakow it
was a loot at the time and go work
and and and and and he there was nothing
you know outrageous about it because
until 15 you learn and then you go and
help your family and then people were
struggling in the late 40s and 50s and
she says well there wasn't what to eat a
bureau connolly once told me on a
sinkhole at night we were he was
reminiscing you know i would get him
privately in a room and like simplistora
tried to
evoke deep feelings you know
of his youth and childhood then he told
me you can't imagine
the poverty that existed in the cu this
country that you guys are in
in 1935 and 36 and 37 that wasn't what
to eat
you know you magic see them
riding on donkeys to sell some bread and
and milk
you know with their full beard and
people who just
10 years before were saving judaism by
stalin and who learned by the rashabe
and lubavitch and here they're on a
donkey in ramadan
to make a few dollars to make a few lee
wrote was called lyron those times you
know
but that was the that was the call of
the hour
that was the time you know and i i just
uh
parenthetically we're talking about
kanyeski i'm gonna be making a clip
which i hope all of you will listen to
because rabianism here asked me about
his relationship with khabad so uh
hopefully uh i'll address that in the
clip
but you think about
you know the hazarines comes there to
struggle i think it's 33 iraqis comes in
34. you know we look we look at him
today yesterday you know levi and all
that
you know
either they don't know
we don't know or we don't care or we
want to you know
you can't imagine what the these people
were were it was survival survival mode
this was survival everything they tell
you
i'm sorry you know it's nonsense
and of course the dilemmas and sadiq and
rabbani but
all this stuff didn't exist then
then eden were just
trying to make a living and have what to
eat and they learned
everyone and in the in their own way
you know and i'm not saying that i'm not
i'm not saying this to show them uh take
away from him i'm saying the greatness
of the person
is that in an environment where you
don't have what to eat and where to
sleep and and a roof over your head and
everything else and that yet you you you
you find time to learn and to help
another year that makes you great but i
don't want to talk about it right now i
don't want to spend more time with that
all i'm saying is that when the rabbit
says here
that's why i'm taking some time deborah
speaks about
learning by heart of mishnah learning by
heart a piece of tanya memorizing it
and and and and using it
it's um it's very powerful it's very
powerful
and
it could be done
i remember
uh in the 1980s when my wife and i were
sent by the rebel schleichers to marin
county california it's north north of
san francisco
those of you uh from back in the 70s and
80s uh probably know what that means in
marin county marin county was the hot
tub capital of the of united states
smoking doping you know and other things
we won't mention in hot tubs and um
this is where him dolphin was sent now i
think they sent the right guy to the
right place
but
but the rebel center's there
and um
it was it was uh eight years we were
there from 84 to 92 then we went over to
los angeles which was a whole different
ballgame you know la was already
considered normal compared to
marin in that sense marin was really
um a very interesting experience uh even
in the 80s i mean the 70s for sure
everyone knows i think i told you that
movie that came out depicting me
marina's
the heathenism of american culture where
the you know the average person made uh
you know uh six figures
and yet uh could uh sin away as a
hedonistic animal and uh be considered a
mensch
you know and that's that that was marin
county and but so the the the leftover
were already in the 80s were ready you
know when i got there uh we still had
some um pig pig breeding jews with
ponytails uh in mill valley and tiburon
uh you know um and who told me the rabbi
they know better about what either sky
is because they're from new york
hi i'm from new york too no but you're
an orthodox jew you're a hasidic fanatic
i am a long island uh manhattan knight
and and we know really what what yiddish
guy's supposed to be so that that that's
what we encountered but what i want to
say is that on shabbos
when i would take my little children to
shul i remember i would say with them
and they remember they remind me till
today they're grown they have children
their families i would say with them the
sukim the 12th sukkam that the rebels
suggested all children say we we
memorized that we thought they would go
on the street toilets
say tyra tyra siva say shma
braces now this is the way we walked and
we kept it interesting going
where either grandparents or parents
here
you know we need to
share these messages and something you
should know grandparents have a great
impact on on on the grandchildren
in a way many times more powerful than
parents so when you when you walk with
your your grandson or your granddaughter
to to school or just for a walk or on a
hike
say impossible with them yeah simple
basic
kills
i'll say why are we saying that now
because when you eat that when we walk
in the street we're supposed to say
words of tata
you know and um
this has an impact this has an impact
just like that guy that won't it's not
putting on film but he won't eat in
someone's house because he was trained
by his parents the chabadnicks that we
don't eat outside of the house
right
you never know but that will kick in at
some point then he'll start putting on
film they'll become about the shiva and
they'll start keeping shabbos
so it's the little things and he'll mind
himself when i was a little boy a little
girl
my grandfather walked with me in the
forest and bachemish or wherever and he
said uh he he said he encouraged me to
say apostate and i said after him and we
said sukkam as we were walking that goes
a long way and the same is true for the
gunning
the power of the goodness is is is is
very powerful because it leaves an
impression in the soul that stays
forever
and that impression will come out at one
time
uh and and it will do wonders for the
person again
wonders for this person doesn't mean
that it's becoming about the shoe i'm
putting until tomorrow it could mean
that and hopefully it doesn't mean that
but maybe it'll stop them from suicide
maybe it will it'll get them to get a
job and become a mensch you know
everyone in their their own way
but um a negan a negan is something
that's uh worthwhile
uh kind of memorizing singing and and
taking in so this is this is the type of
language that they'd ever share the
middle of a maimer hasidis i didn't
expect it at all
and any and he comes up with this and he
says you want to build a home
you know we're talking here about pesach
and uh getting rid of comets
he says he suggests these ideas yes
someone said something yes yes
i i i don't mean to interrupt but i it's
it's interesting that you said this and
i just had i just had like a flashback i
remember
oliver shawn my grandfather
um who was the great-grandson the
great-great-grandson of the um renee
sasuke so when he would take me to shul
i would go a lot to williamsburg for
chavez he lived on 125 taylor street and
he would take me to school he was the
gabba in the auguresho
it was like the only non-real hasidic
show like all the other shows were you
know
and everything but my grandfather were a
garter and because he was above him he
grew up in balboa and he was he learned
with the bhagavad-raba he was
but he came to america you know he put
on a hat they put on a jacket but you
know he didn't have a beard anymore but
he always he always went with uh with
the garter and so when he would walk
with me on friday night we would pass
all the shows on taylor street and uh
the cloisenberger show and he would
always tell me stories of each hasidus
the structure the spinker
until today i remember it it was amazing
we used to always walk like every friday
night shop this morning
beautiful store right okay so that's
that's that's exactly what we're talking
about and who did it your grandfather
now imagine if he was walking to you and
said hey what's the latest scores you
know the yankees beat the mets the mets
beat the astros you know what's going on
here the wrestling matches you know
there's nothing wrong but it's you know
what would you be left with you know
what i'm saying here he left you with a
meaningful a meaningful message
i i you know i use that word meaningful
you know my interviews are called
meaningful interviews you want something
meaningful that stays with you the rest
of your life
and and that and that takes you know you
need to sit down and then you know
you're going to see you're going to be
with family mr chamfer pesach i'm going
to be with family you'll be with family
you know to take a few minutes how are
we going to
um
inculcate it and entertain and
and involve the children
right that the hope say this we got
for ourselves we can do a say there in
20 minutes i promise you
25 minutes
and you can be finished and go
but we got it
you have to instruct your children
oh this takes time
and you know and
this is what we need to
you know to take a few moments
to plan to plan
the way
we're going to
communicate the idea of yetis with
sorayam they stir
loves banana israel and he took us out
of egypt and that means he takes us out
of egypt every day and every year and
what that means
that that needs to be you know
positioned in a way that young children
uh can appreciate and everyone to their
level and that's that's enough leader
and that's part of it so let's go now to
162 bottom of the page
[Music]
sometimes this idea hashem is great
hashem has praised very praiseworthy
and to his greatness there is no
end
yes
there is a statement because i'll say
who when is hashem great when he is in
the city of god so he's explaining this
idea
how is hashem great through the city of
god and he explains
in the city of god he is recognized top
of 163.
the creation of all the worlds bits for
a mile of the heavenly host of tsuamata
and the
earthly hosts whom shame hashem
they come from the specific name of
youth
the hashem who lost
but how does the creation come into the
actual form that we know it to be they
shame elohim
and this is the rhetorical question how
is that possible is sir it since what
since hashem's name youth cave bufke is
simplicity
so how is it that from
from simplicity from oneness there will
be multiplicity here comes the retort
because then nevertheless
there is creation of creatures
through the earthly host of a small mile
on the earth heavenly hostilities was in
multiplicity in much division
this is the concept of hashem
the unity of uk bufke
but the manifestation as it forms itself
through the name elokim is
multiplicity
so how do you recognize my
hashem's
do last greatness through elohim in
other words
how do we recognize that that that we
are all
uh
to sadikim and all that by having us
seven six individuals here
in other words every one of us has a
different story every one of us has a
different character personality and
through all the differences it expresses
one commonality is that behaviors that
were all from the one god
so specifically the the rebuy the
multiplicity
the different the differences
of culture and personality and
individuals
points
to one
in other words if you didn't have if we
were all the same
if we were all alike it wouldn't show
god's greatness why because then you
would say god is limited to this one
style
how do you know that hashem is really
god oil real great when you see the
differences and in the differences you
see god that's what he's saying here
so rebuy multiplicity
is the proof in the pudding
multiplicity proves that hashem
is infinite that hashem is not limited
to one style
okay
he says
it says
each morning
and how how how probably how
multitude are the works of god predict
him by creating so many creatures meowy
there's so many different kinds
more specifically
we talk about the supernal angels
[Music]
it's brought down that the the camp of
mchoyle michael the angel has a hundred
and eighty
thousand camps divisions
oh martin gavriel in the camp of gabriel
gavriel cough nun vavel of marcus 156
000 camps the lf alfoni then he quotes
the verse vial of alfoni isham
and thousands of thousands served me
very revolving
and
and multitudes of hundreds of thousands
of thousands
serve before me
meaning chicago
is all of these divisions who are they
shame elohim it's because of god's name
elokim which is the name of multiplicity
is
and just as we explained earlier how
does one understand a an idea properly
it's through the letters and words that
are formatted to in the mind to express
the idea
below your ac is if there aren't any
words efficiently
[Applause]
you can't even
reveal to yourself an idea imagine you
have an idea
but yet you don't have in your mind the
words the images
it has no meaning for you to submission
wants to draw a picture
of rabbi dolphin
he needs to in his mind
think who is this rabbi dolph and he has
to come up with images and words in his
mind
for then later to be able to put it on
paper
and the same is true with every idea
first you must create what's called isis
words and i'm using the word images
in your own self to articulate to others
so that
you because you have an idea
but the idea without words in other
words
like i i i've been
researching and listening and and and
thinking about kai and kannovsky for
this clip i want to make that i'm
telling you right
so i spoke to benjamin brown professor
of you know
uh the great the
flume orthodox professor was written
about cassidy who knows about literature
i hear what he says a good friend of
mine who knows that they brought crowd
told me about that
i know a little bit now right
but if i don't find the words within
myself
the clip is going to be lousy because i
don't have the words
in order to have the words
you need to format them in your own cup
in your own mind
and once you have oceans in your own
mind you're innocent
then
you can be megalo them you could reveal
them to others and this is why
why at times
when we are we jump
to
sharing with others and guess what we
didn't really articulate it well for
ourselves so it comes out mishka baba
mishka babu it's an old word for my in
my childhood it's like a brooklynese
word you know donald comes out gibberish
it's totally it's totally like it
doesn't make sense
why because you yourself didn't create
yet the right words and images so first
create the right words and images in
your own mind then you'll succeed in
bringing those words and ideas to others
and this is a proper way of using seiko
so the what the rapper says here is that
the seiko that the idea mean the idea
will be properly understood if you
create others
words
not words
speaking words in them in the mind in
the mind you need to create the words
the images
and then you can go about to use those
words and images in deeper
let's continue
the cycle the idea is one that could
right it's one point whatever that's
idea you're talking about if you if
you're really on the right path of the
idea it's one that could it's not too
the kudot it's one but the way it comes
out and deeper motion is in different
various words
but it's one the kuda so what do we see
from what do we see we see the same
thing
that you have from one coming about
multiplicity from one idea there are
later words and images in various ways
so we might share the example of
moisture she he'll draw rabbi dolphins
sitting and giving a shirt he'll draw
him talking he'll draw him crying he'll
draw him laughing right they all come
from one could if
if the artist is is is right on it comes
from
not from
multiple rabbi dolphins
drives the multiple pictures
moshe am i am i i don't know it's not my
field it's your field it's is it
am i not about me but i'm saying is the
is the approach the right approach in
your work
yeah yeah
very much the right approach okay okay
let's continue a few more lines
well barbara is just a bit deeper in his
confidence
i know that your day is
so what happens what happened is that
it's through the word specifically that
the right idea comes about
regarding the names of god youth kevin
and elohim the s the immediate should be
salvation avaya although creation comes
from yud kevoki
it's simplicity
but if you want to recognize the
greatness of god
you need to see it through multiplicity
for zeal a messiah god
we'll stop here this is the first
interpretation of our of our
understanding of this this um this hazal
a messiah who god oh you know they said
when is he great because
good learning see everyone tomorrow zygo
bye bye
thank you
