okay let's uh just do a brief recap
we're in the middle of discussing and we
ended actually with a powerful line that
avi sent me clay reika marcik
play molly in a massive
uses this phrase that's brought in the
gemara i believe
and used in khazal to
address the reason why
we we we many times
aren't able to understand a godly
thought
and surely not meditate in a godly way
the rabbit said these words and he used
the words tim tom hammo
and we use the word yes if the clogging
of the of the mind and the heart
this is a big sugya this is a big
discussion
both in musser and in hasidis
and i would say probably muslim it's
even a greater discussion than hasidis
but in a different way
so what i'm going to tell you now is
is relevant to the text of muslim
facilities although
here he doesn't get into it as much he's
very brief but he's alluding to a lot of
concepts and basically
in musa it says that the more you
indulge in gashmis the more you're
immersed in gashmius
even if the usage of gas gas mias is
sanctioned and kosher and okay the fact
is that it um it jades you
the alta rebbe in chapter 23 i believe
of tanya
says it in his chabad language
he says over there through ali
through much use of the body
using your goof so much jades you it
coarsens you
by osmosis it
you know avi mentioned and i and i know
also from my own work
sitting on this chair and writing
for 20 years makes you
heavier because you don't get up a lot
that's a fact of life no one can
disagree with that
but my intent is not to become bigger
my intent is i have to write and i my
wife says you know get out get on to the
um
the the the bicycle you know and and
and do that i can't write that way i
can't think that way
for me you know this is good although
there was a time when i was walking by
the water about 15 years ago when i
would review my
urim that i had to give to my students
and i remember
it was great i literally walked by the
shore road by you know by uh
over there by the water it's not far
from borough park it's the end over
there and i would review and i remember
i went through a lot a mental process
and it was
it was great you know but it was it was
hard
both the walk was hard i walked like two
three miles i
i walked i walked and walked uh you know
under there and i
hit i went i finally got under the
rosano narrows
and i said hashem what happens the
bridge opens it collapses on me
and you have all these thoughts and then
you walk back
and but it's it's it's tough it's a it's
a lot of work
so is anyone gonna say yell me that that
i
i'm sitting here because because i want
to become bigger no i don't want to
become bigger i want to become
skinnier but the fact is
that when you use gosh me as just for
for good things
gosh me as coarse as you that that's
that's the way it is and it takes
work and effort to use gas mias
and not be impacted by gas mias you know
like this is something you always like
talking about and yoni
you know a neighbor of mine he's
marrying off a son
so he told me i gave him a ride the
other day so he says to me
i had to spend 15 to 17 thousand dollars
on jewelry for the color
i i wanted to stop the car and throw him
out and he's a friend
a neighbor i mean like are you are you
sure
what is with you and he says and what
what are you doing
what do you guys do i said well you know
the most would
give us a fifteen hundred dollars for
jewelry
that's that's that was the tradition
before covet and even that's a lot but
the point the the the gosh me is
so there is and he doesn't look at it as
indulgence
this is an expected issue
in the community just like the many
people come here to
ask for money for america's role you
know and and and
yeah and what do you need the money for
people so
i have to buy an apartment that's part
of the system
so i don't want to continue on this this
question i want to get back to the miner
the point i'm making avi is the altar
says
when you use something more and more rov
wrote
more and more it coarsens you so the
muslims farm speak about it
dr ebba speaks about it very briefly
and ultimately when a person who's
serious
a person who's learning for 44 years a
person who went to yeshiva
and a person who wants to grow in their
yiddish kite and their avoidance hashem
and they and they try to understand the
godly concept
i'm going to make it clear godly concept
doesn't mean a tasteless
of course it also means a toy swiss a
toastmaster's godly of course but god
comes because i want to understand how
god creates the world yes my
ex nilo what's the difference between
cause and effect
and ex nilo i mean that's that's a whole
parasite
i want to understand the vasantov's
deeper meaning of
i want to understand protest in its very
the difference between the rambam's view
of protest
and earlier and earlier philos jewish
philosophers i mean
these are you know godly concepts
because
you're swimming in godliness you're
trying to understand the way god thinks
and you want to bring that into your
mind
for that for that you need to be able to
focus
and concentrate and ultimately
become like glued and attached to
goggles that
like you can't sleep at night like
you're barely waiting to get up you got
to jump to the mimer you got to jump to
the thought
you know so the rapper says here the
frida kadabra says
that when a person is marbec fight
basically
even if he does you know how we say my
wife wants this we blame the wife my
wife wants it my wife wants not me no no
i
i wouldn't have the wall-to-wall carpet
i wouldn't have um
the uh yo nikki do me a favor moshe
myers
wants the password it's dolph and send
it to him because i'm teaching now so
thank you
so uh abby um i it's not me it's my wife
so that says stop kidding yourself it's
you
okay because isha shayna i said it
you know that means a kosher woman does
the will
of her of her husband
ishak shayna oyster in bailor
so you know what says avi that um
that that the the the bow
the husband creates the the the the rut
zone
by the wife b and then she's the ishaq
shayra
in other words if if there's real union
real togetherness and understanding
between
the husband and the wife between the
spouses then
the will of the husband is
communicated automatically in a way
to the woman and she does it and that's
why she's an issue
it's not the literal meaning but it's
it's the deeper meaning so what's the
point
so why do we have tim too the answer why
we have
tim tom is because we are
pursuing only our bodily needs
and others bodily needs and it's all
about what we need says that ebba
then you're a clay molly
and they're my maramavi which speaks
about the prosecution
there shouldn't be a baron woman and a
woman that cannot give birth
in your country what does it mean to be
barren and can't give birth you cannot
generate a feeling of love and offer
hashem
you try meditating you try learning
and you don't have that feeling
you're a nakora an akora means a woman
who's barren
what does it mean barren you cannot you
can't you don't have that feeling you
try you try
what's the reason because
and the rabbit says an amazing thing in
a mimer that he said pasha's
spot in 1952 you can find the mind where
you should learn it it's a wonderful
mimer
rabbit says at the beginning of the ver
mira begins lothian shaquille of
it was towards the last day of his life
and he said
aina yodeya
i don't know where they're going to take
me to donating or
the opposite all the commentators here
only ask a question
he doesn't know if anyone should know
it's him
and what's the question he's been
learning day and night
he's a leader a sage
what do you mean if anyone knows he
knows
so there are many ways of looking at the
gomorrah the way the rebels said in this
mimer is a wonderful way
the rebels said
knew he had a mission to be a jewish
leader he knew he had a mission to be a
jewish teacher
he knew he had a mission that was
that that required him to dedicate to
others
so he never took a moment to think about
himself thinking
that if he does think about himself
during his lifetime he's taking away a
moment that he should be dedicated to
others
and that's the greatest rebellion you
hear that
when you think about yourself and you're
supposed to be thinking about others
it's a rebellion it's a marita and the
rebel when he said this he became very
emotional
and he cried and he broke down and
choked he couldn't talk i heard from
people who were there at 770.
it was very very and and the rebels said
vasmirave
yiddish why do i need love vasmikiro why
do i need fear
why do i need rotson will why do i need
taino those four things
meaning love for god fear for god will
for god and pleasure for hashem
if if any of these things are about
self on any level it's a contradiction
to the mission
and the bureaucracy realized that
throughout his life so he never thought
about himself
it came yeah i'll be the last day of his
life
when the torah that shulhan says
you have to make a husband and a fish
you're gonna pass on today so now it's
time to say vidui
and ask yourself what did i do all my
life
and if there's anything i didn't do i'm
asking you hashem to forgive me
and give me a clean slate and let me go
into gunaiden
so then he was obligated to make a
husband
so at that time he asked the question i
don't know where i'm going
i don't know i'm going because i was
busy all my life
so i never had a moment to to ponder
to ponder and the fact that he gave
himself away for it
nevertheless according to tara you have
to make a husband on the last day of
your life
this is a beautiful explanation that the
rabbit gives to this question
why is it relevant to us because
clay moley a name clay raycon massive
we have to work on being more and more
clay raycon
you know you know you know i'm going to
say it even though you know avi's here
but that's fine
you know he's he's been learning 44
years and and he's humble about it you
know
he's humble why because he realizes i
there's so much more to learn
and there's so much more that i didn't
get a chance to do in my youth
so although you're learning for 44 years
it's nothing it's nothing and guess what
even someone is learning all his life
compared to torah's infinite so
hasidis has this uh expression
everything in comparison to the essence
of hashem osha
everything in comparison to the essence
of hashem is nothing
the angels are yoni was asking yesterday
about the malachi the angels are nothing
the souls are nothing the stars are
nothing the moon is nothing
nada why hashem the essence
oh the essence is enlightened
this attitude makes you more and more of
a clay raycon
and when you're a clay raycon then
you're able to
perceive to get the godly concept
then you won't have tim tim another
point
avi and tim tamalev are two
separate issues
right means
the cup is for stopped the cup don't get
it
tim to malev means the hearts the heart
doesn't feel and and and think about it
we find something people that their cup
is sharp
but their heart is like a stone
so you can have you you might not have
tim tuma but the left
is clogged the heart doesn't feel
then yeah yes that that
the the the heart that's first up it
could be from
food like not paulie swell or something
like that
hershey park yeah oh boy you're touching
on raw nerves
yeah yeah how do you know about that
that the
the story with the chernobyl the the the
abnormal
someone came to him and he said reverend
it's ken island if a stainless
so they always attribute this uh he says
i i don't i don't i'm not mock business
if i have holidays well of course i'll
you
so that's a story they attribute to her
to it's interesting since you mentioned
it
the what what'd you say the rebbe
the rabbit um in the early years
pushed lebavatus who were various cities
that's a cleveland
cleveland that tells yeshiva was in
cleveland from the early 40s
but you know they didn't have hold of
israel no one had called these shows it
was a very hard thing to get
so you know they people were they lit
for sure goddamn were more makel
or more makel i don't i don't even say i
wouldn't even call it mako it'll be just
they didn't have it right and it's not
tray if it's called of stone
then in the early fifties a few of the
barbecues got to cleveland to live there
and that ever spoke to them even to one
of the wives
to work together with the the robotning
the lit fisher abundant the vad of the
of the community and to get call of his
role in
and they did it and they boiled that the
cleveland yeshiva and the cleveland
community had access
to hall of israel so quietly without
kind of making a
uh oh you're drinking call of akum
and you know why they you know that
wasn't the approach
but quietly the rebbe encouraged them to
really
work on bringing call of duty so you
mentioned call of israel
as an attempt but that yoni that's true
what you're saying is true but i'm
talking about
let's say someone who drinks call of
duty israel called israel not call of
stone
and still the mind is clogged the mind
is first stopped
right so what i'm saying is
that that there's a reason for it
so you have but it's two things it's two
separate things they don't
they don't necessarily go together in
other words like this
can you have tim tum hamoach
without him to my left can you feel
something
genuinely moshe in your heart
but up here it doesn't register the
answer is yes
you can you can
there are people that their heart is
very awake and alert
and and very uh fresh
and they relate to torah to hashem to
others
in a very heartful way you know um
you you must have seen and experienced
people who are very jolly
and very happy and
when they hear when they when they learn
or they hear a rabbi
i was saying you know in the beginning
he heard classes you hear
rabbi say this and that you get inspired
and you say i want to do it
you don't really understand much of
what's being said and
you didn't learn about it you're not
studied but you're turned on emotionally
so there can be a a a a a heartfelt
turn on of of of good and and kedusha to
hashem
and to tita but nevertheless when you
try understanding it there's a blockage
so that's called tim tumamoah
tim tu malev is when
the heart doesn't feel and you do
understand it
i would say that
and now i i can't say i was going to say
that
usually there's more tim hamoach leading
to tim to malev
i i don't know what's more or less but
the point is it's two separate issues
can they both work together
yes unfortunately many times
we're blessed with having tim tamaya
acting to malev
you know we don't understand we just
don't get it
we're not getting and again we're not
talking about understanding a piece of a
mimer
or understanding a piece of gemara we're
not talking about that okay that's not
what we're talking about when we talk
about temple
we're talking about he says here look at
his language
over here he talks about um
the oily key is burning the selly key
there's two things he's not a vessel to
receive
the godly light or really key and number
two he's not a vessel to
to get the his brother in the silly key
the godly meditation
let's go on now page 403
the next paragraph excuse me any
questions before we go on
moshe
the
a cup a coast of salvation your choice
yes i will lift up
over shame hashem and at the very same
time in the name of hashem
ekra i will call
so that's why you all know when you
when you pick up your cup you go like
this
and you say the brahma so you're
fulfilling what the verse says
curse yeshua and by the way you know
that
when you start half dollar you hold the
cup right when you get to the
to the saying the words kaiser says
you're supposed to lift it higher
and then and then afterwards you drop it
back down to the way it was before
this way it's clear that you f you did
kiss yeshua's essa
a cup of salvation i will lift up
okay that's a technical thing that we do
and while we do that we say baruch
hashem
we make the brocco machem
the name of hashem ekkara we call while
we lift up the cup
in order for that to be a coist what's a
place
a cup a cup is called cliquibul
it's a vessel that receives
of receiving la yeshuos
you want this cup that you're lifting up
to be a
vessel to to be able to receive
salvations yeshua's both bigashmirs
in all aspects of material matter and
spiritual matter
how do you accomplish that who are you
today
it's through calling the name of hashem
through learning taylor and davenick so
this that ever
is taking the literal uh verse
and the ritual of abdullah and
extrapolating it
for all of taito mitzvahs right for all
of tyra davening
each time you're in the udavan you have
an opportunity to lift up the cup
and get more bracha to come in
and each time you learn it's that way
how
do we do that says that ebb i'll give
you some practical ways
and remember it's 1931 the rebels on the
way to marimban germany
and he stops in warsaw and he says this
mimer
and if you know your history warsaw was
a place
full of eden but many of them were not
religious assimilation was rampant
and of course you had a lot of hasidic
and literate jews there as well
but but there was a lot of secularism
too
so that ever knew exactly what to say so
what does he say you have to do
they spot a little bit sibora that ever
says you want your cup
to be full of bracha the gosh means
you have to dive in with a minion fellas
when you're able to of course
real able to meaning when kova doesn't
stop you or the rabbis don't stop you
the police don't stop you
feel like i eat them later and set times
to learn like you're doing in the coil
now these words avi are short and brief
you'll need very short and then your
work
malacha miss barefest is blessed
you see when you the background the more
the background you have you understand
how in these few words there's a lot of
a lot of information what's the
information
there is a gemara i think it's a gemara
magilla don't quote me but i believe
it's there
and the rebel has a secret on this
is your torah only mishta meres
watched and guarded or is your torah
also ms barres
blessed what's the difference the
difference is
status quo versus increase
is what you're doing good and therefore
hashem will keep you good and safe where
you are right now
that's mr maris
you're blessed means you're gonna get
more
not just you'll be status quo you're
gonna get an
increase
so there's a discussion about this in
the gemara
the previous rabbit uses here the words
for us
this is my own thinking i didn't see
this anywhere
and possibly he's alluding to this idea
that
when you kiss yeshua
you lift your cup through learning tata
and davenink
learning and diving with a minion and
learning with set times in shiurim and
otherwise
not only are you watched by god and
protected
there'll be more bracha in your house
there'll be more bracha
in you in your pranasa there'll be more
bracha into success with your children
and after all you know how much we need
the bracha
why do we need the broker because it's a
big world out there
and there's a i i don't like using the
you know the whole concept of the
sahara it's not the way we were trained
in chabad but
nevertheless there's a lot of isms out
there
and a lot of mischief and and people in
the name of tata
and david are doing all kinds of things
that are
you know ridiculous and
thank you i'm going to send you
something someone sent me today
okay yes it's about issues in the nine
days i saw that
you don't have to you don't have to send
it to me i got it already
listen listen i i i also had that
reaction in the beginning however
however seems very uh
you know very weird and strange and like
that's all you have what to talk about
nothing more important
but um you know there is um
especially through the nine days we have
to be malamaz
i know it's hard we have to find favor
and everyone's michigan
we have to work on it it's it's not an
easy avoider
since i mentioned that there's a story
avi with with a gilgal with a d book
a very you know in 1970 to what we're
talking about so the
the rabbit told the secretaries he wants
to
wash at the fabrega normally rafa
brengan he made a burrito priya goffin
a shabbos
mentions the seven types that are so was
blessed with
he does the first so when you have cake
and wine in front of you
besides kiddish which you're you're
supposed to make the
kiddish first unwind but during the week
you sit down on your table you want to
have some wine
and you have some pasta there too
according to aloha
the pasta takes precedence over the wine
because that
because during the week there's no mix
with the drink wine so you follow the
the category the of of the seven kinds
mentioned in the torah
and eretz the word
comes before geffen okay so he he makes
the mizonos then he makes the hagufen
that was the regular style at a weekday
fabregan
when he came he spoke to us during the
week
in 1974 it was a sunday night
and he said he wants to wash this was
very unusual
so he but that he
wants to watch is because in other words
it was his mother's yard site but for
the last nine years
he made a brain on his mother's year
outside which is the sixth of tishrei
love tishrei in the asari mateshiva
and he didn't wash why does he want to
wash now
so we thought the reason he wants to
watch now is because
is because it's 10 years and 10 years a
milestone
so to celebrate the 10 year anniversary
yard site of his mother's pet custom by
many on the yachts that her father and a
mother
they make us they make a asean
so he may see him a message
what does the gemara speak about at the
end of sukkah i'm sure some of you
learned it
speaks about good neighbors and bad
neighbors and it's relevant to all of us
because we have neighbors
and the kumara says if you have a shohan
taif
if you have a good shotgun it's good for
you and good for your shotgun but if you
have a bad choking it's no good for you
and it's not good for them having a bad
neighbor
and the gemara brings a story
with a woman named miriam the daughter
of bilga miriam
and one of their one of the
oh and miriam went astray and she
married a greek
legioneer you know a soldier a general
she went very far the romans came in and
they destroyed the basa amigdas and it's
coming up the tish above
should be rebuilt from halomeno amen
anyway
so she goes over the place
animals are roaming and foxing and she
takes off her
sandal sandal the gemara calls is lucas
lucas look into the gamer you'll see the
language
and she takes her sandal and she bangs
it
i think on the leftover remnant of the
mizbayach
and she says lucas lucas
you know she says how can how can you
how can she if she looks to hashem says
hashem how can you allow
this to happen to our people the same
woman
who married out is beseeching hashem
complaining how do you do this
the gemara the gemara doesn't spin it
that way
the gemara says that because the gemara
puts the emphasis
on her sin that because she
married out she was punished
that not only she but her family
received stale bread old let him upon
him
right the left upon him was weakly
breast baked fresh
but because of her sin not only was she
punished
but the rest of the family was punished
so what do we see
that that what you do has an impact on
others
so if you have a bad neighbor it impacts
you
that's the gemara's proof and with that
the gemara concludes
now the river asked the question we know
a rule
you're not aim assignment you don't
finish something in torah
and it was bad with no good did you know
that whenever you conclude something
and it applies by the way to uh learning
you should always conclude with
something positive
don't go to sleep and don't go away for
the from the book
on the safer with a negative even
something negative even from
torah you know that sounds negative
so the question is how could how how how
how can the gemara
sukkah conclude the entire attracted
sukkah
with the story which is negative came
along to the baba janet in 1974 and did
a 180 degree turn on everyone
and he learned the gemara in the
following way and he said
look how righteous miriam the daughter
of bilga is
that although she went so far and she's
married out
she when she sees the desolation and the
destruction of the basa amigdas
she cries to hashem and says hashem what
are you
doing to your tower people
so the rabbit basically saying that
there's a positive positive message
in the gemura so the gemara is not
ending with something negative
the gemara is ending with something
positive
two weeks later simplest tolerate the
fabregas this was buff t-shirt
the rebbe's mother's yard site two weeks
later simcastora in 1974
the rapper spoke and he said during one
of the talks i've been receiving
letters and notes
how could i have made such an
interpretation in the gomorrah which is
contrary
to the shot
there ever said i'll answer it with the
story of the altar rip
and the story of the altarebe is that
someone came to the altar ebb and he
says
help me i have a guilty book in me i'm
possessed
by a roaming soul that's driving me mad
spiritual schizophrenia inside me i
can't live who am i
the authentic said relax i'll tell you
who you
are and we'll get rid of it he didn't
say those words but that's what he meant
and he said you remember during the time
of novi 2 000 years ago
two jewish people got up it's recorded
into
avi i'm sure you know this and they
murdered they stabbed skarya because he
was about to utter
a prophecy and the law is when the rambo
passes when they
when when a prophet says a prophecy it
must be fulfilled
and they were going to say and he was
going to say a bad prophecy
that the jews are sinning and they're
going to have destruction and all that
so they quickly ran and they stabbed him
shut your mouth
they killed them they went into a gilgal
to the book
they were punished for doing that came
along the rabbit two thousand years
later and said
wait so the alternative said your soul
my friend
is one of those people
and since you didn't really want
to kill zaharia you only did it to save
the jews
from having a bad experience
i'm being malama's horse it's called i'm
being meritorious and
the altar ever said and guess what he
walked out to me out forever
he felt like a new man the book left him
the rebels quoted this story regarding
miriam bus bilga
put two and two together miriam bus
bilga was waiting for two thousand years
for the rebel to speak about this
on the yard side of his mother she's a
woman and miriam's a woman
so biscuits the rabbit's mother miriam
buzz bilga
who was hovering in a dibble for 2000
years
was released
and then what's hosts in the schools of
being malamazus
this is a long answer to yoni's not
answer a response to yoni's
comment motion which you missed about
the rabbi in flatbush giving a fear if
you're allowed to use tissues
during the nine days so
you know it sounds it's on the internet
now and everyone's laughing about it
like you have nothing better to so i
told you
we have to be malamba's host during the
nine days and i really mean it
after muhammad's course it's hard many
times but this story
with miriam bus bill good i wrote about
this i wrote a book once called
soul journeys about reincarnation of
different soul experiences
and and i quote and i wrote up this
story because it's such an important one
okay and it came from the rebel really
you know
to see that if you in other words this
you know they say over the cuff it's
hayam and hanavasserman in the 1930s
took out a
book you guys are aware of that story
i'm not going to get into it now there's
a very famous story the whole artificial
world
talks about and when they talk about
removing the book they refer back to the
khafiz khayyam and
and either the 20s or 30s right
how did they do it they gathered people
together they said tell him and
and they cried and and i pointed out the
rabbit didn't do that
the rebbe suggested we'd be malama
the power of malamad's is so powerful
that you can even take out a dybbuk so
you don't have to cry you don't have to
say dylan
not that those are bad ways customers
show them but again you see the rebbe's
angle the khabar approach to an indian
of taking out of the book such a
difficult process because in kabbalah
rabbi david botswan and i was involved
with that by
by interviewing the lady i told you in
damona
she had a book in her and he got to see
what he did to gather 100 people in the
room and they were crying and blowing
strafer
and making noise and she falls off the
couch and she first
speaking she sounds like a like a woman
like a man in a woman's body and it's
scary and freaky
and he and he and the others took out
the book and i interviewed him
for 45 minutes and i spoke to others to
authenticate what happened here and
finally i got to her i found her
she was in the skies and under but i
found her
i found her but that's
a kabbalah approach then comes the lit
approach from the prophet
and and and then a very holy one a good
one
and then comes the lupovic approach the
rebels approach
can go so far and today we need more and
more
we'll finish the mimer next week um
zaika zone
have a great shabbos it's shabbos
kazooie
and the emphasis of the rebel he said
was the position
will be redeemed is torah
the chavez
emphasize the importance these days to
learn extra tata
and to give extra tadaka hashem should
help each and every one of us
we should experience it we should do
this and see the ghoul of slavery
take care
thank you
