in the safer overcoming folly the second
paragraph but just to recap
briefly what we began talking about
yesterday is this concept
of thirst hatsumaya again that's a word
in the passage in deuteronomy and
devarim
when it talks about ki bishriris
and then it says hats mayo so the uh the
rebel
shop says hats mayas hates maya the hay
is thirsty and he's been talking about
this idea what does it mean that hey is
thirsty so he said hey is marcus
is the transition point between the
upper and the lower
so while malchus is part of the upper
it's on a high
although it's the last man on the totem
pole it's still the totem pole
when malchus the last man on the total
pole has to go into far and strange
territory
the worlds of creation formation and
action
leaving the world of atsilos it's very
strange of firing to it to its
experience
and it yearns it desires
it has a rotary a yearning a running it
desires
to be back with electros with godliness
and the tsar also uses the concept of it
cries
it's crying why is it crying it's crying
because
it's not comfortable here this is what
we learned yesterday
so now he's going to continue talking
about the hay
and uh maybe we'll learn one or two
english footnotes because they
they're very good and they explain a
little better things but let's let's
begin
inside first the text in the hebrew
that just enlivens
all the worlds
we call this shrina the divine presence
the fee why do we call it why do we call
haiti
this animation of godliness
rests and dwells within the three lower
worlds called breitb
so that's why we give a name to this
godly experience cold stream
as it says
make for me a sanctuary and i will dwell
amongst them i knew
in the room in the chamber of the holy
of holies
you know we're talking about the once a
year
time when the klein god went into the
khachayakodoshim
and from there it extended itself
an emanation of its of itself
extends from the country culture is
called ireland to enliven the entire
world
and this explains to us
why we make a big deal about the country
culture
on your kipper why why
why i mean you know okay the clan
governor went in there but what
why so the question's on the claim
goggle why did he go in this the answer
hashem told them to and then
why why did hashem say so in other words
you have to go back
and ask yourself what is special about
the kochi kardashian
so kabbalah said to say because the
shrine was beginning
now i want you to think about the the
the approach that kabbalah
has to a physical space
what what kabbalah are doing are
shining and shining explaining to us
that the physical space
becomes special and significant only
because
the screen is there if you strip the
screen now from the country kardashian
yes we know the the ruling
holiness does not depart completely from
the place
but nevertheless it's dark and and dingy
right and abhikiva says i went up there
what did i see
all the fox foxes stamping all over
including the desolation
and today we have what we have over
there
so therefore what makes the country
culture special
that the stream is beginning not just
that the screen is there
it's their beginning and that makes it
special
and because you only it's their beginner
it's revealed over there
it has the kayak the power to extend
itself
as he says
and and you know he here again i always
try to point out if you take this
thought that i just shared with you that
we just learned in a few brief words
and you meditate on this and you think
about it i guarantee you you'll want to
jump into the kardashian you you'll have
an affinity for the kochie kardashian
even though
we're not there yes move yes
at the very end of the first playlist
how
the the machine that came down from the
higher realms
without first being established each in
each world became like
a direct like express correct correct
correct chapter 52 and tanya was
alluding to i believe
and um and it's interesting because
there's something that ashab says here
that seems to contradict what it says
there but we're not going to go there
if you're interested you'll study note
number 130
where he talks about that seeming
contradiction but i i
i don't want to go in i want to stay
more to the text so
this opens up for us a whole
view of what country kardashian is
just for a moment if you extrapolate
that
it's the same idea what's the difference
being
in a shul or being in a house
you know that you know the joke where
did you dive in this morning at the
castle really yeah my place was my wall
in my house
so no what's the difference between this
crystal and the clay so
you got to be kidding you got to be
kidding your crazy depends if you slept
enough
what would you woke up in and you know
what's going on right the kaisala
monrovia doesn't depend on you
it's there you understand
the street the country kardashian is a
mindset
it's a mindset that a year can transcend
all of his gosh nice and all of his
stuff
and say i am now in the culture
conduction someone look at you say
you're out of your mind
you're in ramat gimble alef boro park
what are you in the country culture
no no no all of these things
are an idea and experience which
manifests themselves at certain times in
a physical place in a physical
expression so
of course the culture conduction
physically is the koch conduction no
question about it
but what makes it kachikadoshima is that
the
at your dining room table your dining
room table
is similar it has
an energy that's similar to the kochi
kadoshi
and and yes i bet i better go
i better go dust off the dining room
table
more than dustos okay okay
let's continue next paragraph i think
this was important to talk about a
little bit okay
take for example
the energy of the saguf
that enlivens the body it gives the guff
life
we're myers where is
the main energy of the summer
sustained enlivening the goof it's
in the life in the heart which taste
because the left hit the heart um and
from the heart the blood flow is
nimshach
it's drawn it's extended
to the two all the 248 limbs
so this is the marshall so the rabbit
says not an intro is
what is considered the room the chamber
of the holy of holies
who hallelujah shall call hailam it's
the heart of the entire world
that's the kachikadashim yani
the heart but the rabbit told
the rabbit told this fellow who i know
when he was angry and upset in 1973
you know and he was a brooklyn boy who
grew up from and he grew up in yeshiva
and then
he made a u-turn and he went very far
and he was angry and he came to them and
they they came to the rebbe
elliot elliot my friend elliot and he
said
who is god you know yiddish where is god
that famous gem video which you need to
look
and learn and listen over and over
because it's so powerful and the rabbit
says at the end it's in your heart
the leve the lev believe this is what
we're talking about here
the kache hakadoshim is the heart shall
call her
of the entire world
that's why the shriner rested
in the kochiak addiction because it's
the heart so if you if the heart is
as well the body as well
alluded to earlier that's all that
alternate says there that
there is also the room the chamber the
kurdish kardashians
but we'll leave that for another time
what that means continue next page 95.
for cell indian
speaks about the diminishing
of the moon
and the moon was upset and the moon said
why do i get this every month
large medium small small medium large
and the sun is one and the same
so there's so engine this is the idea
the
[Music]
where it becomes the head
to foxes foxes that's a
metaphor ladies
it takes humility to create
it takes humility to inspire it takes
humility to have an impact on yet cedar
and blue you see this here you want to
make a difference in the world you have
to be humble
if you're a yes you're above guyver you
will be rejected if not today tomorrow
so the neighbors are told the levante
levana
moon you're upset
that you are diminishing every month
from being big and large and strong
to being tiny and small and almost
non-seeable etc
that specific activity that you
experience is the is the is the
springboard
for continuing god's energy in
in an arena in a place
which is antithetical to god compared to
absilus
and asea in comparison to others is
antithetical
okay it's not as apparent what
so in order for briefcity and i see it
to have a connection
it requires a bittle on part
of the energy and the levana
is like the hay let's continue look what
he says
the late autistic lady but the moon did
not want to
lower itself well the mighty saxophone
to minimize itself no it says no
no you gonna lower yourself i want to
stay a big big
big ball a big moon
[Music]
why not it said what why are you sending
me into these worlds
where there's a mixture of good and bad
i don't want to be there i'm very happy
here in nazilis i like being in baroque
park in irushalayum
why do i have to go out to wyoming and
afghanistan
etc
um
and worse you want me to come into the
physical world
not the spiritual world of action but
the physical world
where free choice has been given to man
the yuhukas will show him
and by doing so listen to this by us
expressing our free will
we schlep the godly energy into this
into the stupidity it's not enough
moisture that we are foolish
we draw the foolishness we draw
godliness into the foolishness
her feet go down to death
so this explains that this refers to the
hay of malchus
that lowers itself to bri
from atsilos and it's a place of death
in comparison to
its position in atlas oksava and it says
hashem who rests with them
in amidst their impurity
hashem is with us all times
could you imagine we're doing the sin
and we think no one knows about it only
us
guess what hashem is right there with
you and he knows about
it maybe you fooled people but you
didn't fool him because he's right there
with you
that's what the toyota says
forgive that this is a forgiveness for
holiness
from the contamination the impurity
that eden contaminated in other words
you go into shul you go into a basement
you go into the the
the sanctuary the mikdash and you do
your stuff there
so now you got to cleanse it it needs a
good covert cleansing
with sprays and suits and mices because
it's contaminated
[Music]
and he's just bringing more to bring out
the same idea
and this is the idea that the tenth of
hashem the dwelling hashem
tommy you contaminated you made him pure
divine
god now we understand
what it means that the shrine that the
divine presence is in golos is in exile
how does that happen it happens through
man's bad activities here or below
we create a situation where the screen
is now in exile
we make the screener be in exile
commission any quotes from your
deposition
for your sins your mother was expelled
for our sins your sins our mother was
expelled
the shrine is the aim right
right she gets expelled
because of our our sins continuing
as we as we said earlier there is a
descent
of the level of hay it's
it's it's lowered finished
and it goes to the progressive chain of
of a
downward spiral from level to level and
mata mata
very low below
it's so filtered
that it be it invests itself in the ten
emanations
but not of kedusha of translucent light
known as the clipper noida
in other words there is wisdom and
kindness associated with clipper too
it's called in kabbalah do you ever come
across this hillel and your alert teach
learnings it's called
um
right there is kindness coming from
afram that's kedusha and holiness
and there's kindness coming from what
time right right right right
right so it's hazard you're innocent
it's being kind but it's misplaced
kindness
and misplace kindness if it's at the
wrong
misplaced it's bad it's no good
it's your smile
and this is something that you know is a
difficult thing
to decide whether it's president
says that when the energy of the hay
the sense has it it goes through all of
a sudden
this this change
or being an outer change but it's still
a change and what does it do
it then sees a problem and negativity as
good
and it's just here let me give you some
money to buy drugs
i'm being kind you really are being kind
i i just have to
but give him a sandwich
you know that he's going to use the
money for something to destroy himself
of ishmael and the same is true for
gevorah
the teacher in the school says he
patches and he claps and he bullies
and he berates the rambam says
you have to educate a child this way
really
the rambam says that if you yourself
are not angry and if you yourself are
not upset
and you purely use it as a method and
even then it's challenged and harnessed
etc are measured
you're expressing your frustration you
didn't have a good breakfast this
morning or you had a fight with your
wife
last night so you have no business doing
that in the classroom
and the same is true with the rabbi and
the teacher and the employer and
ourselves
on and on and on that's all these are
all examples
of misplaced khasit
when is this able to happen
only when there's an energy that
vivifies you
and you have the energy in a sack
in golos in exile and now you use the
energy
for your outlandish desires and behavior
that's what he says right here let's
continue
ali day next page 97 capital amazon's
the clippers what do they do they give
energy and vitality and and life force
through the masalas through the
constellations
they hold swash from mayam
and the superiors that are above them
and they give life force to all of gas
meters
that's why the levana okay avi goes back
to the moon
that's why the moon did not want to
diminish itself
you understand look you can look at this
gemara
the moon you're so arrogant hashem says
be a moon
what right do you have to say not to be
a moon so the red explains to us here
the moon is coming from a good place the
moon says
i don't want to give my energy to be
used for cucumbers
that people fresh excuse the expression
that people indulge in and you can
imagine the great sin of
of of of eating cucumbers with a tither
and worse i don't want to do that
so the says
go humble yourself if i'm telling you to
do it you do it and you know why you do
it because it's good for you
not just good for me it's good for you
because it brings out bitter humility
and it brings out a certain part of you
who you are who's really
something that's special for people so
the rapper says at the end
um
that's why initially the moon did not
want to
go into this to lower to diminish itself
kit sir
we learned in the beginning of this
chapter that the tenth
that the the letter youth is the source
of
souls is hey the letter hey
mccoy is the source of the vitality of
all worlds
srina we also call it
the chamber of the holy of holies is the
heart of the world
go and diminish yourself
and descend in the lowest levels
um and this
builds you stronger and gives you a
tremendous
yearning like they might say
and through an evil act we cause
now i want to go back for a moment
please allow me to go back to
note number um
i want to go back to note number where
is it about about the mayan
oh note number 126 for those that have
to say foreign
soon you'll all have to say foreign's
health so
here we spoke about my
meaning water
gives vegetation to all types of
pleasures he says it nicely here i just
want to read it with you
the source of physical pleasures in
water
is water which promotes the growth of
pleasurable things
in addition juice or liquid
found in foods and making them tasty
comes from the water in quotes
within them so similarly the element of
water
in the soul in the nephesh is the source
for one's desire from pleasures
that's what the bitly rep is imbra bena
and also tanya chapter one
so in other words it's not just water
but any type of liquid and juices within
is associated with the liquid with the
water so water
is that that aspect of the neshama
that's associated with pleasure
now please understand it's not
only bad it's also
it could be good it's neutral right the
four elements
of the neshomer a shrug offer that the
in chapter one of tanya you must know
that they are neutral they're pariv
and it's up to the individual whether he
spins it to the right or the left
and in this case that we're discussing
where maujus is taken
out of context and kind of abused to
just benefit yourself through
indulgences
that's what the rashaba is talking about
here but it does not mean to say that
inherently it's bad it's not it's
neutral
so you could take the same water and
make a break on it and
and and make a beautiful garden when you
take water and you use it to make a
beautiful garden and a person walks by
and he smells the wonderful flowers
that's kavaldi he reminds me of a story
that represents kaya mushkar that ebb
his wife
on president street in crown heights you
know president street and crown heights
is a very
regal block before uh yiddin moved in
in the 50s 4060s
um it was a block mostly of yeden
but you know wealthier jews and and
more distinguished jews for example
mayor beam
the former mayor of new york city i
heard lived on president street
the boston rebel was the next door
neighbor
to the river so you had the rabbit you
had the boston arbor
and and then there were other
prestigious more known people
on those few blocks so once the rabbits
of kaimushka
came out of her house and she saw a lawn
that was not kept up so she went to the
shamish to the aid and she said here's
money
go out buy nice flowers
have a gardener come and make that
garden
spiffy and great did you ever hear that
i heard that
why because it's hashem's creation
for whatever reason you're not taking
care of your garden so here we're going
to use
water and flowers and make a real
beautiful garden that smells nice that's
pleasant to look at
so water is a neutral item
and water is not just a source of
negative pleasure
but it can be the pla the source of the
highest pleasure and the same is true
for h
and offer the three other elements and
that so that's what but over here
in in this context since he's talking
about the descent of the hay
he says it the way he says it one more
note here
and that is i just wanted to make while
we're on the subject of water i just
wanted to make a brief uh
uh remark that uh the the the commander
writes
about his his review and his uncle the
uh sweethearts of zidachan
yeah that he once remarked on himself he
said i never so much as had a glass of
water
without making a yihood that
uh they said on himself so the kumarana
explained what it what was the echo he
made
he said that the shepherd the brachas
from dem all come through certain
pipelines
into the to our world like we're talking
about here and he said
the euclid was that they should always
go through the right pipes
okay i i think it's a nice story
i would have thought that the eucharist
is more the the names of hashem
and the different gematrias but i hear i
hear the story
i i i i i i'm convinced that that
sweetheart from the tribe did that as
well
if you look at this safer it's full of
yehudim so i'm sure
he he he was into you you know he did
him but but it's a good it's not
that was his yeah that was his thing
that was his thing yeah but that
but it's to me the story you shared
hillel
is uh is a is a profound lesson it's a
profound lesson
that even if you don't know the
particulars of the yihood
have one thing in mind i'm making a
yehud the rabbit told people
and this i'll tell you an example the
rabbit told people who asked him
what kavanagh's should i have when i go
into the mikvah you know we don't go
into midfield because it's a spa
or your back's hurting you you need a
good uh hot water
i mean that's also nice but we're going
to a midfield because it's
helix it's holy so someone asked the
rapper
what should i think about the mikveh and
then he asked and i know that in this
forum it says that there's
so the rabbi answered him you know he's
not going to
whoever who asked but he's not going to
tell him do this yeah
they probably felt he wasn't that level
or that's not the chabad
whatever the case he said then just have
a mind that whatever yahood him
the kabbalah swarm
and that and that's important because we
go to the midfield you know
you know it's important and i heard this
from my reviews my teachers
in yeshiva this is the way they taught
me because because when i heard that
there's this
in the midfield then i saw my teacher
rabbi marlo all over shalom
who when he went i saw this when i was
14 or 15 in la babachi yeshiva
in the ocean park where the yeshiva had
a mix on the building
in the basement i don't know if you know
yoni and we went when we came to yeshiva
with davin the morning
we went to the midweek before or after
depending on the timing anyway
so i noticed the way he went to the
midfield
first he immersed upright
then he spread himself out like a fish
and then he did a third one upright i'm
telling you what i remember from 15
years old like it's yesterday
and i so i said this is very interesting
i don't go to the mick for this way
and i had tremendous therapeutics for
him you know
besides his genius he was my rebbe my
teacher
so i went over to him and i said ready
why don't you go to the
why do you immerse the way you immerse
and he said to me that rabbi tenenbaum
who was our principal
he was a jew from from the from the from
the holocaust and he was
very fine and atomic
he was he's
he was asked by the rebber to blow the
schaefer
already from 1952 for the
the kias of music and ever since then
the rebel would blow only the first 30
to kills
and rabbit tanaban blew the rest the
other 70 and he blew them
like like it was you know bread and
butter it's like no
no impediments it just went he had a
govaldik
way of blowing beautifully and clearly
and and and flowed
so he so the rebbe told him
that the morning of rosh hashanah
before dabbling in kiers he should go to
the mikveh
uh have in mind the cavanaughs of the
balshentoff
when of how and what you're supposed to
do in the mikvah
and then learn the mimer of the of the
of the
altar rep and the cedars on on kia
schaefer
so he asked the rep like
what cavanishing about scented do you
have in the mix and you're talking about
a person who was learning
and a real halogen guy you know but
still
so the rabbit told them up
fish first time straight second time
like a fish
third time up i think the rabbit told
them to do this three times
with with a break in between three sets
of these three
rabbi he told this to rabbi marlow once
or a model being the jew he was
he did it every morning and khaiyan
dolphin happened to be there one morning
with
seeing him doing it and i asked him and
he told me and that's the way i do it
and i'm sharing it with you
so here it is a tradition that goes back
i guess to the belgento that the rebel
revealed in 1952
and it's it's now not here 2020 um
70 years later and the tradition
continues
so this is uh all to the point of
hillary you said
that you know where the cove of the city
chavez vert
i don't know the details of the year but
what i know is that
this the way it should be done and
whatever the eucharist supposed to
accomplish it accomplishes
moshe myers i think he wanted to say
something yeah moshe
i don't hear you moshe i'll mute
yourself moshe mute yourself
got you okay i'm muted yeah it's related
to what you said previously in this uh
yes you mentioned about the moon moon
waning you know from being big and small
and all that
right fluctuation but there are less
than we can learn to matter is that too
general that
in some in our lives things going in
cycles we have
sometimes things are up and down or
whatever and is that a part of our
humility
our lesson for learning humility perhaps
absolutely otherwise
it's not just a story in the talmud or
or an experience
it's something for us that that we don't
want to get into certain situations
because the
dirty they're not nice they're i mean
states it's not where we want to be
but you have to you have to get involved
you know
we all want to you know sit in a payload
all day all our life and
and catch a bank as they say you know
squeeze the bench and have money rain
down on top of you
it don't work that way you got to get
you got it you got to make pannosa you
got to view you study
and you got to schmitz yeah so it's a
lesson here and it takes humility
it takes a lot of humility so absolutely
make sure it's a lesson for us
yes regarding the
general yield of going through the
rebels is the same thing
regarding china
right and you say that's how you enjoy
him is it how you enjoy
[Music]
anyone else with any other questions or
thoughts
okay anyway we'll learn tomorrow
bye
