ViYadata #2 - Difference bet Kindness & Mercy - G-d's Names Hashem vs. Elokim - Infinity vs. Finite

so we're on the mimer via daita young uh in the various forum i now have another safer if you don't have the my murmur look at you could uh see it in the country the original contracim of the previous rabbit volume one page or in the text that you have so anyway um no it's contrasting just from the previous ribbon but it does it doesn't have in the kudos whereas you're the ones that you're using has the kudas but anyway let's go back to let's go to the mimer so the idea here is that the torah says you're commanded to know today to make your heart be attentive that hashem will he came number one that god is eloquent the transcendental trans transcendental god is elohim but remind me mouth from the heavens above the elders from the earth below and you know there's nothing besides him i'm sorry however please mute yourself so the idea is that there's an ongoing uh reality that teva nature and the myla meteve are all one and the rabbi is exploring this so he brings the zaira kurdish what desire cutter the fourth commandment in the commandment of mitzvos as according to the zayar is the idea of of what of um that you are instructed to know that and the question he asks is how do you reconcile the two and how could you say as desire seems to imply that that each one is incorporated in the other one how could you say that two ideas one is supernatural and one is the concealed aspect of god are one of the same these are the questions that he asked yesterday and let's continue now uh so so let's continue we're go back a few lines where he said he talks about hashem ali kim let's go back there after the questions and he says you do what's known the havaya that the name of is the source of revelation when you talk about the name yud kevky whatever you see in the torah of rome the name yudke wafkee you should know that this refers to god's revealed aspect which is prince midas the attribute of mercy where god bestows his mercy on humanity and around the world [Music] it's the way god reveals himself with kindness and mercy but without any limitations whatsoever why as soon as you introduce the concept of a limitation of kim yoni that is from the name of elokim so if you say if the terrorist says hashem and god spoke and it uses the name youth cave we're talking uh right here in that verse where god reveals himself and doesn't accept any concealment or any judgment to stifle the revelation because shame of the king is that aspect of god that considers the situation on the ground and if there's a reason to not give as much or to not give at all because of a judgment and a restriction it does so able to the name of hashem is a revelation of the of abundant mercy [Music] elokim refers to judgment and contraction what is the purpose of god's name of elohim it's to conceal and to limit and to hide the revealed light its entire purpose hill is to make an obscurity upon the godhead says that ebb but there is an advantage to that as well um comes about multiplicity and division that's why in regard to god's name elokim specifically do we find it to be plural okay so when he quotes a verse in yahushua yeshua because god is holy so what do we see it doesn't say ki elokai it doesn't say because god the singular is holy it says elokim plural kadaishan plural who he is so what do we see that the the the one god is being called elokim kedashian plural why is that because this name of god lends itself to multiplicity as i explained yesterday at length the details and multiplicity come about when there's an obscurity on this on on the the sun because the sun for example shines to anyone and everyone at all times when it's shining and doesn't make a difference whether you're dressed up with a tie or you or you have little clothes on or you're or or there's garbage on the floor the sun shines who makes a difference between the three the culture we're in the situation the environment so you don't want to be arrested for walking without clothing so you put on clothing you want to look dressed up at a sim card you put on a nice suit or a nice dress etc in other words the elokim the the concealment the the restriction which takes into consideration the world we live in lends itself and leads to multiplicity to differences that's why in ghanaian right before the sydney only right well it was there was only godliness so therefore it says that they weren't wearing any clothes and you imagine a male and a female not wearing clothes and there is no tiger we can't imagine it there is no temptation and the answer is because it was in a world of yurt kevke and in a world of yud kevke there's no concealment so it's all about it's all god so they didn't see themselves as male and female but you know opposite genders uh attracted to each other etc etc they both they both saw the saw themselves and were an extension of god which has the male and feminine aspect within himself as expressed by the other makhava then when there was the sin of eight saddas that's when it says they saw each other by his boise they became embarrassed all of a sudden nudity became a cause of embarrassment why because it was post sin that's what transgression does transgression does that the the the concealment the multiplicity becomes a divisive force now of course as as you'll probably see later in the mind with the objective is that the utk vuf gay should influence the multiplicity de la kim where we use multiplicity for the sake of god but barring that each energy of hashem remember these are coming from hashem these are not coming from men it's not man-made it's forces in god so being that it's forces in hashem it's all kedusha so the question is what's the kedusha what's the sanctity of separation and this is a very very important point just for a second it's the whole idea of majitsa you ask yourself about the majitsa concept right to separate the men and the women and the question that that is asked and i'm sure you've asked it in your lives and if not it's good to ask because to understand it better isn't it a an obstruction to the to the unity that should be present in a shul or at a wedding and the answer is if we were learning if we were living pre-sin you'd be right but if we're living post sin and there is already in the in the in the world the taiva when you put together men and women at simches this is the way madness freedom explains it i like it twice only twice do you really need a mojito at a wedding and davening why because you're supposed to be so intense just walking to the karlbok shoe on a friday night where it gets so riled up and it's so leopardic and and it's dancing right you could easily dance over to a woman and give her a hug and you know and then start the playing around it's not if you can all understand that right because you're so freyler that's why the halal is put up at a wedding the greatest simcha wedding especially if you take a little hayam again you can get carried away so the ghazal say put a machita there too and by the way getting the majitsa at a wedding today we look at it as a given you can't imagine what it took in the 1950s forget about the 40s there were no mojitos pretty much at weddings in the 50s they started to be introduced and it's a funny story i don't like to give all the details of a certain the barbecue who came from russia and he came to a wedding hall in the early 50s or the mid 50s of of of of the barbitures i believe but the no most people were not having mercy so they just did what everyone did so he called over the father of the bride or the groom whatever he said my dear friends i'm giving you two choices either you put up a mojito right now or i'm removing my i'm dropping my slacks in public and they knew that when he says it and i knew this person i knew him and it was an old husset and a special yid if he said it it was coming from the right place i know it's hard to hear that but i'm telling you that was his only reason he wasn't dropped he wouldn't be dropping a slash because of any other reason he wanted to make a point and he wanted everyone to run away they'll see your hustle with his slacks down they'll run a mile and guess what they knew it and they put up a majitsa and that's how majitsa's was introduced in crown heights in the 1950s yeah i have a i have a uh movie uh movie on my parents wedding which i believe was in 1951 maybe 52 uh and was you know or this is my mother was the granddaughter of the rev of toronto and i think she was one of the first of the rebbe's grandchildren to get married and there was no machita and there was mixed dancing it's sort of shocking to see that video today that's that's the hello that was the norm that wasn't not the norm okay you know you know it it it was by the by the biggest rebels kids and grandkids it was a very difficult thing to to break through so the story that i share with you is you know it's like so far out there you know so but that's what it took you know that's what it took the rabbit didn't tell him to do that this was his own doing discuss it he said i have to make a statement here and if i don't make a statement and that's how these type of things began slowly but surely so why am i saying this because you you could say well you know let's live with shame hashem yeah when we look see this again moisture is here it's good to con concretize it and make it practical what is shame hashem shame hashem is a world of bliss and of a world of bliss everything goes well guess what but we're not in the world of bliss we're in the world of elokim in teva nature we're in the world that we have to pay bills we're in the world that we have to marry of children we're in the world we need therapy we're in the world that we have abuse we're dealing with real issues hello kim and that causes the multiplicity and that's why the rebbe says um much were about 10 15 10 15 lines from the top yeah we just said that let's go further conceals and covers the shape the the revelation that's denoted through the name of utk wolfking this is what yeshua says you cannot desecrate god life in other words only elohim could do that but yud kevke cannot cause concealment and when it says in the verse in yeshua the holy god but it says it in the hebrew which th which is plural kim not elokai kiddoshim not [Applause] there comes about the the the um the the the the multiplicity of many levels that comes about from uh from shameless kim i believe we have sv on the line show male 8 you're all in your uh in your garb smee is joining us from iraq today you're in iraq where are you kuwait kuwait sorry well malaysia from kuwait it's a friend from staten island he's on a mission for three months you see you talk about monsieur's nephesh he left his family for three months to help jewish jewish brethren in in in out there in the middle east no how's it going pretty good yeah complicated you're not you're not missing you're not like you're not the yeah you're not starving for the sitting with hasidim of habringing absolutely okay well i know you'd be you met you create your own over there especially next week it's your test kislev you gotta make up a brain in there tuesday night or wednesday night even if it's a small thing please okay let's go fight it you know we have two concepts for a moment pay attention it's called er and calem or orot auros and calem lights and vessels and this isn't a hollywood production this is actually a godly production it's called the system of how hakadosh barco animates the world so kabbalah teaches us a beautiful concept that the way the energy of god filters itself into the world is through two aspects one is called r or oros lights and one is called vessels and just briefly briefly oros is that that aspect of god that its purpose is to illuminate caleb vessels a cup a spiritual cup its objective is to limit says the rabbit what is the source of oros what's the source of kalim hello kim right because we just explained that utk vfk is revelation and elokim is limitation and concealment so now let's look inside the text well my height yes one just one question the the reference for this uh this quote uh number six is uh what is the safer that he's bringing down from taurus something or numbers well you don't have that yeah read it read it tell us what test toros alice uh [Applause] for this reason the source of light the shame elohim and the name of hashem that's elokim is the source of kalin the hawaii to when we talk about the light of hashem it's what we call pashut maisha what does porsche mean simple straightforward not confounded not complicated you know how things get complicated the shame hashem is straightforward you get what you see and you see what you get right so and and there's no divisions there's no is how good at all there's no separate
