Ukraine War #3-Empathy not Sympathy - Night before Day: Greater light coming - Maamar Or lArba 1940

uh learning the mimer oil for the previous rabbit that he said in america when he just after he arrived uh to america in 1940 and which is shabbos right well today is what today is zion of today is valve right well please fridays of shabbos this year shabbos tests other uh the previous labor 82 years ago came to america to settle he had come to america in 1929 to visit cities and uh baja can you bring that book please i just uh published a book um on top that one no no the other side to the right yeah thank you you see about an orthodoxy 1900-1950 on the cover in the center is the previous rubber walking off the boat in manhattan 1929 and all around i put the ma the main cities that he visited 1929 to 1930 philadelphia chicago new york in new york bronx brownsville um and i put a different picture of a person or a building or something for each place and did baltimore make the book uh yes bolton was right here with rabbi schwab although i didn't write much about rabbi schwab but i wrote about yeah i did write about baltimore it was a a major i think two to three weeks he was there the rebbe uh in 1930 january of 1930. uh the book was endorsed by uh professor jonathan sarin of brandeis university who is the expert on american orthodoxy or american jewelry i should say so he wrote me a very nice letter he said uh he says we have to uh rabbi dolphin revises our understanding of american orthodoxy during the first half of the 19th century so that was a very nice compliment and hopefully uh people will will read it to understand what that means anyway so this miner this my mother that ever said 10 years later where he was shamayim he was forced to leave because of the uh the the the war and he was miraculously saved and he came to new york because new york he had a solid group of hasidim small solid group but they were activists and uh they already laid the groundwork in a way from 1930 to 1940 for his uh you know coming although chicago was very much a forerunner and it looked like in 19 after his trip in 1929 30 that he would actually come to chicago but when he came back he he wrote that he's not doing that because he thought it over and he realized that they're looking at him as a fundraiser and he's uh basically he didn't say that but you know he's his job is to teach hasidis and help jews in their avoid this hashem and fundraising is uh an adjunct to that of course you know uh to run an institution but when you when you switch and you say this is what we think you are and the other thing takes back seat he said no thank you and he didn't come it didn't come and uh the jews of chicago were very disappointed of course but uh so be it so that was in 1930 so 1930 um the leaning was to go to chicago actually but in 1940 for whatever reason i don't know exactly why he chose uh what he didn't choose but why didn't he go to chicago versus new york seems like he had a stronger group of hasidim in other words in chicago he had called them supporters and friends and a few has said them but i think in new york he had rabbi jacobson rabish mulliviton rabbi simpson and these were students of his father and um they were more you know they're more real hasidim they were real the barbecues in them you know what i'm saying uh chicago yet people came from the barbecue family but they were you know a clean shaven or they they they were involved with the community at large these guys see them in europe that i'm that that i just pointed out three of them four of them whatever they were like we're calling you this geshwara dimension sworn people in other words by then the rabbit the previous rebbe and the babbage was number one that's it we we have to we have to put this on the map and we're going to do whatever it takes to put the babbage on the map and i i'm glad i'm talking about this today because we are coming up to this uh 82nd uh day when the predicate became so just for another moment this is in in life in general there are many people that are supporters friends of whatever you're doing but it doesn't mean to say they that's who they are and and the proof is in the pudding and what's the pudding when there's a challenge to that issue do you stand up for it or do you say uh you're apologetic and uh and you back away that's when you know whether it's in your bloodstream and in your dna or it's just it would be nice if it get done and and and the assault the foundation for any organization and any family structure and any businesses that ever said is always it's called asic business asic what is asic that would be asic involvement not just sympathy empathy not just standing from the outside to say oh i have mercy on those people that are being evacuated so i'm going to write a check that's an important thing and it's one level but then there's empathy and thing is no i feel like i am standing there and being shot at the the the the urgency of that feeling outweighs completely completely the feeling of only sympathy and that's the difference whether you succeed in business whether you succeed in life in yiddish we say it is is it your thing until it becomes your thing it's not your thing and if it succeeds great if not next valve was a doctor he's helping and helping he's he's dealing with life and death and all kinds of issues every day what's the attitude the attitude is that i am on the it's like me being on uh being the patient and when i go about to save someone's life and to help them it's i'm helping myself that that's the commitment of of of any you know professional to what they believe in and if not it's just a job it's just a job and that ever wrote this you should know how it ever wrote this to people who you know when ashley is and they they said that's too hard and and others that didn't want to go and others that you know they said listen you have to decide is this your job is this your job or this is who you are and this is the connection to today's situation when we're we're experiencing these difficulties and these hardships which which hashem will come to an end very shortly because we know that you shall hashem doesn't slumber doesn't sleep and is watching us carefully so this requires commitment and this is what the my mirror began to tell us getting back to the minimum now that when you want to search for your comments when you want with not when you want to when you have to pesach is coming and there's an issue of comets and what is commits ego horniness jealousy anger and everything else that comes on that full plate of maladies comes along that happens mimer that he said in 82 80 um two years ago and he says that you have to search with a candle with the light of a candle because the mission says sir velvet did i ever ask a very strong question i want to know if you really ever asked yourself this question and if you say yes you'd surprise me why doesn't it say lei larper sir the knight of the fifteenth it doesn't say leia laraba saucer it says oil our boss that we had yesterday the end of page 150 in the last chapter the 159 the end of the first chapter that ever points out the previous labor points out that it's specific why the mission says are because the way you deal with with searching for comments from maladies for character flaws and everything else that goes along with it you have to do it with light not with morbidity and negativity and criticism that's based on your on your ego but with genuine truth you know i heard once that uh hilo if you don't mind you'll need both of you give me yourself please i heard once that uh there was a famous masjid in in in lubavitch in the last century rabbi nissen nemanov he was the mashbiya in the khabad yeshiva for years in brunois france he was a very hasidic jew and he really had strong kabbalah soil his his messer that he brought to the table until today was kabbalah soil you know to the point where you just accept and you do and you don't deviate like a soldier and and he was in that area he shined above anyone else in other words there are people who knew more questions than him he knew this but people knew more understood more but in this area he outshined them and when it came to a fabregan and there were people sitting who were 20 years older than him they kept quiet and they listened to him because they knew that to to follow obediently like with such an attitude of a soldier and not deviating iota they couldn't do that it's the hardest thing one second join us in one second one point in yeshiva what was the hardest thing in yeshiva we talk about morristown and yeshiva the hardest thing was to be on time at 7 30 a.m not 7 30 1 a.m i said to start at 7 30 to be the 7 30. if you came 7 30 one although it's only a minute late you didn't follow the exact schedule that the la babaji yeshiva about your obey him set for the yeshiva now to master being in the basement every morning at 7 30 exactly that is an avoid that's a hard job and one who did that excelled in kabbalah soil and that's what we're talking about and you'll say what's the big deal what's the big deal that comes seven thirty seven thirty one so the rebel already uh addressed it by just showing that's the way it should be in 1944 when the rebel lost his father i believe yitzhak and he was saying he came to the gaba of 770. i think rabbi and gordon probably josh gordon's father azada his his grandfather and he asked them what time is chakras during the week i think during the week because the devil would go to the brooklyn navy yard he was uh you know rendering um architectural drawings for us as the ships you know he was had a background of civil engineering et cetera electrical engineering whatever the case anyway so rabbit gordon said eight let's it said seven thirty seven thirty five and then i returned to me said which one is it seven thirty or seven thirty 35 what's the difference five minutes what's the difference that's the answer is that in those five minutes it it shows whether you're plugged in or you're plugged out but it's only five minutes you're right but it shows on what's going on inside is it's in other words if this is the time my body gravitates towards it because i can't be without it if it's not so deep within me then 7 30 7 35 and guess what then it ends up being 7 45 and then let me go to uh unison had a point where's so much with that over there i wrote about that in my book i wrote i wrote extensively about that i researched that what year is it just said that the baba sally from for i think 10 or 11 years every ellu would go from morocco to a brunoise they gave him a room and he stayed there for ello um to be he had many students morocco that came there to learn so to be with them and also to to spend his time there and he saw this have this inherent and you talk about the baba sally but he saw a jew that such an avid hashem that he was overwhelmed yes they uh hit him yeah the second point one yeah so the uh they're ready one second yeah wait wait wait wait yeah wait right here get second point was that in michael and nice and in my town we had to be there 3 15 and and and then the walkers were running around doing this doing that i'm ready to see the bottom coming in one of the times after after me i have to sleep within the lab i look good look at this you know why why not come on time yeah it was very difficult it was very difficult to come one time yeah exactly exactly so you're supporting the point hello i'm going to say that the question you're asking about the difference between 730 and 731 reminds me of the gemara that the tanya brings i think in chapter 14. where it says uses the example of the wagon drivers who would drive there would be one fee if you went 100 parsons and uh double the fee if you use 101. exactly that's exactly like learning yeah yeah that piece of tanya supports that okay so the point that they ever made i'm sorry i didn't hear cabs in chicago are the same he says the cabs of chicago are the same i don't know who elliot kuznets is but whoever you are i liked it great anyway so then the good over here is the point is that you have to search hillel with not layla bossa with darkness but with light in other words even when there's a problem even when there's an issue and and it's hard to confront the issue and you say i want to confront it one approach is with nail with darkness fight i'm a loser i'm lost the world's coming apart gas prices are skyrocketing there's health issues and and and you can list amount of issues that are so troublesome and so and causes you to be negative and morbid and sad right but if you do what that ever says oil arbor you're talking checking for comments you're gonna deal with certain issues that are very uncomfortable they're hummus they're sour they rise excuse the expression they stink okay you don't like it you don't want to be part of it but you have to go about it with r and that itself and this tool reminds me says volvo's owner that ever writes to doctors over and over here for the cure is the attitude of the doctor towards the patient number writes that and it's so true god forbid someone who's dying holy see and and medically you know that's the way it is right hashem can perform a miracle and save the person but medically there's no chance the fact that a doctor talks with that patient the family in in a in a healthy way in in a in a a hopeful way that brings more life as long as that person's is is alive and for the family as well you know so so it's so important even though it's it's it's comets it's death it's it's destruction or a lot this was a brief uh one-two punch i would say that that ever said in the previous chapter at the end he said another point made a great point at the end the gemara the gemara says there's a contradiction on one hand the torah says seven days you should not have comments and the other hand on the other hand says um barishain on this first day implying that the first day is the day when you are to get rid of comments well how can i get rid of comments on the 15th of listen if i'm not allowed to have comments for seven days including the 15th and now i have it in my possession so what do you mean i should burn it on that day and this is a question of the gemara and the gomorrah answers from here we know that the word parishioned the torah doesn't refer to the 15th or 1st to the 14th and the torah is giving the 14th the virtue of the 50th in that you should uh uh uh obliterate to burn your comments on the 14th and that's how we know that we are to do beer hummus not on the 15th which is yomtiv but on the 14th that's a gemara that's not that's not this but the rabbit took from that is that somehow the 14th is called richard that's an amazing thought because here you are let's let's picture ourselves you know in five six five weeks is is pesach we're tired we're frustrated we probably had some bias issues wrangling with our wives and them with us and cleaning like we discussed with your dimension the other day and finally now s let me relax no burn the comments no muhammad today you gotta burn the comments so the third says i call this day re-showing and if you can burn the comets an air of pesach that means you're still dealing with the final issue of getting rid of comments you're a rishabh you're a top man you're a great guy you're on you're the first because you show this inner kayak to overcome a problem that's just been lingering and lingering and lingering and you never wanted to confront it and you wanted to stay back let's learn now a little bit inside chapter two um the the the a day is comprised of day and night which have two different meaning the combinations of god's forces as they are as they are as it is at night is different than day commission that means 24 hours has two components my in the evening knight rf and biker is there isn't a day there isn't a young that doesn't have a night with it if there's night there's day right what are we saying good okay and good old uh philosophies ying and yang up and down positive and negative night and day good and bad peace and war as long as we're alive we have these things before mashiach comes will what's the difference that there you darling who andreika said that the night of the 14th we call or la our boss light of the 14th the angel dalit and yet the day of the 14th padres re-shine it's the level of re-shining through which has the virtue of the 15th in other words this is this question moshe listen listen if a day has two components how can part of a day be or and the other be re-shown it's one it's one day of 24 hours you know it's the the 12 hours of night whatever whatever the the night hours versus the and the day hours make up one day so make up your mind is the day on our day or is the day a rishon day that's his question and although that they are different experiences he names both come together on the 14th on one day on the one day so what one second units in other words rabbit is saying we need to understand this it's a question he says granted we've proven that the night of the fourteenth is called er the day of the arab us is called risha but director says i need to understand this how is it that within one 24 hours you have two experiences and yes we have night and day but seemingly it would be one experience shared by night and day and the implication in based on what we're learning here is otherwise so that wants to clarify that yes you're innocent you know i want you to know what enough community is with the tradition or oh wait wait that that's what we're like yeah i know but what was the implication we should mean well first of all begin with kip shooter risha means first re-showing rishon mushaini or means light it's two different things okay can you have a reshone that's dark can you have a reason that's dark yes yes so so simply speaking for now for now you can answer your question with that you can have a resound that's dark that's problematic and you can have and and and you can have an r that's light but it's not the first it's second right for example many times initially in the beginning things of the heart and then as we work them out they become light but it's not re-shown it's not first those there's a virtue to to rishon i'm glad you brought this up here listen there's a virtue to re-showing to being the first and there's a virtue for light but they aren't one of the same at least not at this point yes there's one one thing uh something uh something additionally to what the jonathan was saying don't don't we hold i mean i think we talked about this many months ago about how the day in yiddish kite starts at night okay and therefore and therefore starts at night yum this starts at night yeah because which which brings us to beer starts at night basically okay okay but it's called r it's called light and the day the gemara is called ingrishon in other words your question is the rabbit's question here since it's all one day that then why why divide it into two different concepts and ideas or versus risho that's his question so both you and your innocent and all of us will have to wait for an answer let's continue a little bit he says the idea is degi whether it's searching for comments or burning comments both of them come through guillory uh through revelation of light like i've been telling you that both the process of searching for the issue analyzing the issue and then getting rid of the issue should be are done with light elohim next page the difference is that there's a difference in their level their experience and he says when you search for comments and d and wrangling and dealing with that issue you do it through the light of the 14th ellis it says so now he's adding a point he's saying that this light or larva sir is greater than the 14th it's a light an energy an experience that's beyond transcends the 14th coming into the 14th and what's get burning the comets this is revealing the level of rishon which has the virtue of the fifteenth allah just that it's experienced on the fourteenth he didn't explain he's going to explain that he learned that tomorrow but basically he's saying that what we're talking about here is something very uh different in other words he's answering the question now by saying you have to focus on the spiritual issue has taken place here and he's saying that both the idea of art and the idea of richelle refers to a much greater experience of godly energy that's being revealed the night of the 14th and being revealed the day the 14th and with both of them you will if you if you if you experience them you will succeed in the searching of comets and the burning of clubs what that is what answered my question it answered your question yes but we still don't know what is it that's what you saw was asking what is this or what is this reshape and it's a good question and that's why we have to wait uh to to learn more uh anyone uh have anything that they want to ask comment or anything so um are we ready are we ready for uh big revelations of i'm purim you gotta you gotta be ready guys you got you gotta it's uh what's the date today is wednesday and um right next wednesday night is mcgill yeah yeah so uh you know make sure make sure that all the people your neighbors who might be by themselves have a place to come to a sudha and to the mitzvahs don't don't think because it's vermont but chemist and they're mostly from eden know that believe me there are people who are homebound and and they can use a smile and you know you don't have to run you know talk about doing outreach to be your neighbor in your building you go down you say hello you bring you bring that simcha to them and you've done a great thing i remember doing this oh beautiful i remember when my mother was in the hospital here the king k in the next to kings county they have downstate it wasn't you know so uh a husband and wife he's actually a a psychologist uh uh robotnik's and they lived nearby and and they came dressed up and he played a an instrument i i was coming to visit my mother and they came out and they look it was boring you know and it's this isn't a jewish neighborhood you know where downstate is and it was so warm this warm to see that they didn't tell anyone they just husband wife it's purim and they want to do something for another year they have they knew my mother they knew that she wasn't well so they went there to to to perform a little bit for her what i'm saying is that you know you know sometimes when you go with you need to be sent somewhere told to go somewhere you need a grandiose situation then there is the the the throttling panini premium that you know that you don't need you we know we know we have neighbors and people down the street and an old age home i don't know if that um on the lev if that big building is really built that old age that that that bought the office is it built yeah it's built and actually the first people are actually moving in uh this week before chavez ah wow that was a massive yes so again that those are probably more uh people who are right it's like assisted living is that the idea of a sister living home no yeah yeah no it's not it's not no so what is it what is it it's like it's like it's like uh like over 55. the florida over 55 communities yeah but they get the cash children in the neighborhood okay anyway we have our work cut out for us everyone have a great day we'll see everyone tomorrow thank you thank you bye-bye thank you
