so we're learning good morning everyone
good afternoon we're learning panic
of gimmel chapter 23 and Tanya I'm Paige
Paige Huff
Cass let me just recap briefly
yeah
in these chapters is dealing with the
concept of actu sashem how God is United
with every aspect of creation
including
the fact that the creation seems to be
doing fine on its own it's like if you
look at the creation you look at the
world we live in
why must we say that God constantly
keeps it going
and this is what the alterable is is
dealing with in these chapters
that when Hashem said he or let there be
light
his word is always sustaining
let there be light
not only is it sustaining it at the time
of creation six thousand five thousand
seven hundred eighty three years ago but
this he's just he is sustaining it daily
and every minute
this is the overall concept is
discussing in these chapters
in order to appreciate this he needs to
he he he needs to understand the
complexities
and questions
philosophical ones that are associated
with this reality of God being united
with the universe every moment
and one of the issues is
how that seemingly the word of God VAR
Hashem
which is Maisha the theme of the ten
utterances
right let which we have from braces
we call that the my moroist the sayings
the utterances
seemingly
the the the the the muscle
the the analogy that we give
for speech is inappropriate
because speech by him a human being is
independent of the human being once it
comes out of the human
no one's going to say that what I'm
saying now what I'm saying now
as you hear me is is sustained by by
what was in my mind and what was in my
heart and and in my brain
so so his question is
so there's a difference between this the
utterances
and God's reality and if that's the case
why employ the word the concept of
Deborah
of my morals of of utterances
in other words asking
it's misleading
using the when you say God had one
second when God had God
said 10 statements ten sayings let there
be light let there be this
to to put God into that frame of of mind
seems to be a uh an incorrect
react incorrect because it's not all of
God it's different than God's never said
you're right
you're right there's another aspect to
Deborah revelation
first we think about something it's
hidden it's ourselves then when we talk
it out it's revealed so to Hashem
had creation Yoni in his mind
before he created the world
thought to himself everything but of
course is metaphorically speaking God
thought to himself I want to create the
world he didn't say yet let there be a
world
so so in that sense when he said let
there be a world it was revealed
just as our speech reveals what we think
about
so that wasn't chapter 22 with the
altered episode this is the similarity
and the reason why we use Deborah as a
muscle as an analogy for God's Unity
questioned himself and he said even
though that's true but that's not the
main aspect of Deborah seemingly and to
which he said
that
wrong it is
it is because all of all of
creation
goes through the process called the
filtering process the Simpson process
and that's when he spoke spoke about in
chapter 22 how clippos how the negative
forces and husks and energies that exist
in the world that are God's will to
exist in the world so they can challenge
a Jew and and and and and make the Jews
stronger not weaker
stronger and we have to knock that
through our heads that when there's a
challenge
in our personal life and our communal
life it's not to to hurt us but it's to
make us stronger
and yes we have to go through challenges
otherwise we're like spoiled little kids
right you have we all have children
which of our kids you know when we take
a look as they grow
are stronger those that had challenges
and overcame the challenges you can
count on them those that had it good the
whole time you know they have they were
born with a good head and on and on and
on it's very nice but it doesn't compare
to someone who had a challenge and
overcame a challenge
that that idea of nutsach
endurance determination
you know not letting a challenge stop
you you know as a girl in base Rifka who
grew up with my girls in bishopka who
God didn't bless her with feet
and she would crawl on the floor she's a
star student
she's on online
and and
tremendous could you imagine I mean it's
so hard for me to to
but I see it
because it doesn't stop the Russian if
you have Russian you have determination
you can do anything anything
you just have to really want and that's
the question right
and that's the question how much do we
want I say this to to my girls and I say
to the singles
sometimes they say I'm blaming them I'm
not blaming anyone if you really want to
get married you're going to get married
now it doesn't mean to say that the
marriage will always last that's a
different story
but if a person wants something they
will get it
but you have to really be determined you
will get it
you know
so the question is how much of a Russian
do you have well the same is over here
when Hashem creates the world
he created the world and he created
human beings in a way where their will
should be the determining Factor
of what they'll be later in life
so young people who have challenges
I say Embrace those challenges it's
gevalid if you have challenges
you know I'm coasting maybe some of you
guys are coasting but Hashem
we're coasting with everyone everyone in
their own you know we're older
Etc there's more of a coasting you know
ride
it's nice
it could you know we hope we pray and
hope that it's nice and all that but
the the energy
that I had when I was you know 20 25
there's no comparison the the overcoming
the obstacles the challenges the ups and
downs the failures the successes you
know now when you hit you know like 50s
60s you know already you're going into
the the frame of mind like let me just
live in peace
Hashem please I just want to sit
peacefully in my corner and learn and
Daven and serve you and help people
he searched he made bakasha
he really pleaded with God let me sit in
my corner that's all I want
says
Wrath of Joseph
jumped upon him
Hashem says no way
you want to be comfortable here it is
into your face you gotta deal with
Joseph's issue why
why does Sam do this to Yakov Yakov
avinu one of our ancestors yaakov Jacob
the answer is not to spite and to ster
yaakov to teach us a lesson
the ancestor the The Offspring of yaakov
what's the lesson the lesson is don't
look for coasting
don't look for Comfort look for work
look for haravania effort I don't care
how old we are you gotta find something
to challenge you and that's the way you
stay fresh
and those people that do that usually
usually
are more alive or more vibrant they're
more fresh okay my that was Mahia
monologue now it's your turn
I was just gonna say that uh we're
talking about the older of here speaking
about yeah Sarah memorials
so we're looking down you know in Tanya
yomi you know in this year so Tanya
in against the true difference between
the breath
a deep breath
and as opposed to the maimos the the
Sarah the DSR mamaros right
so it was it's just interesting that the
difference between the two
yes um
so I'm just saying that that uh
I don't remember actually but I don't
remember what you were saying now no I
was saying that I was saying the
bakshava and Deborah so you're comparing
it to the breath and then into my
mothers okay let's learn inside now pay
the cuff Chris
the ink color now based on what we
learned before
that only clipper
comes about from the Simpson in a
negative way
of War hate that will explain very well
but cases beer with additional
explanation
is a very powerful statement of Ramana
Zaya quote the orisa the kuch
Hashem I'm sorry the Torah potato and
Hashem are all one
that's a quote from desire
and in a section there's another section
called
it excess like this it explains
this 248
Mitzvahs
they correspond to the 248 limbs of the
kink
that's the end of the quote
mits was
because Mitzvahs are the inner will of
God
and God's true desire
which is invested because
give them to enliven them
Kiko I'm going to explain in a moment
for all the the energy and the shepher
tolui is dependent
of the lower
worlds of the of us below Canada as is
known
what's the outer that was saying here
just briefly there's something called
panemia sarazon the inner aspect of
God's Will and then there's
the external what's the difference
here's the example
we go to work we have a job
what's the purpose of the job the
purpose of the job is to bring home
funds money we need for our family
so in that scenario what's the premius
and what's different genius the job is
right
I'm talking about for most people
the panemia says
the result of the job
the same is true with Hashem
teaches us and and that it could desire
teaches us that the whole purpose of the
creation of the world is
the purpose of the entire world
July 4th included I told them a story
last night here my son has uh he does
with yjp it's called young Jewish
professionals he runs it for
this uh Chabad here in Carl Springs
so he he gathered together some to come
over and you know have some have some
food and I happen to be he asked me to
say something so
I told them I reminded myself that when
the free decade
came to Philadelphia in December of I
believe 1929 when he was here for a year
visiting America
he visited you know Baltimore and Philly
Chicago and St Louis Worcester Etc and
of course Brooklyn and the Bronx and all
over
when he came to Philadelphia the chief
Rabbi rabbit I think his name was Robbie
Levinson came out to visit him and when
he came out everyone came to the train
station I read that there were 2 000
people there now this is from a
newspaper that was written the day after
in 1929.
yes Maisha
St Louis was that was it Robert rivkin
no rubber Rifkin was not there in 1929.
I'm not sure he was born he was there
much later
sorry yeah it's all right anyway so I'm
talking now about Philadelphia
and then they went to Independence Hall
right
where the Liberty Bellas
and that ever asked
to to sit on the chair have you ever
been to Liberty old there's a chair
there from one of the presidents I
forget which one now
and
he sat on the chair
why did he want to sit on the chair in
in Independence Hall of the of of either
President Lincoln I forget now
because he represented God
he represented Judaism he represented
freedom and he wanted the world to know
the Frida karaba was a type of Arabia
that he
was a state was a spokesman Statesman a
very social you know the rapper was very
much introverted if you can believe that
right the rebel was happy in 770 in his
house and that's it could happen went
around to encourage people it was a
different operator
so what do we see
we see that all of the world including
the Liberty Bell Independence oil and
the chair of the president of 1929 is
made for one purpose for this liberature
Devil's life was spared from Stalin
right he was imprisoned in 27 we just
came through bistamas first there was a
death sentence then um then he was sent
supposed to be sent for life in the
gulag and it was spared
all of that is to sit on the on the
chair
a year and a half later two years later
how am I connecting that to what we're
learning here
because it starts explaining to us
that this symptom
that makes the Clipper right when God's
energy
when God's Infinity Union is contracted
caduceus minimized
allowing
for the emerging forces of negativity to
to wake up and start
as we're saying give this command of him
you know command of it means it comes to
work the command
to say their opinion
the Clippers
start talking you know it's like
the people who have so little content to
them they're the biggest talkers of shoe
the biggest matters they're the ones
that always open their mind and if you
if you press the button you find out
they have goodness you know but they're
the ones trying and they're the ones
commandoven and they're the ones telling
the rabbi and the guy by what they
should be doing right so
the Clippers are a big force of air but
they make a lot of lot of excuse the
expression gas okay
please
just uh
that's what Clippers are it's one big
facade
says the altered
you have to know that Hashem creates the
world for the purpose of Taylor Mitzvahs
which is analogous to working for the
purpose of making money and not the work
just
you need to you need the money for the
for you for to pay the bills to pay
tuition
to pay the gas in the car
Josh Gordon would always say hey this
Shabbos
saying Rabbi where's the Kiddush we need
a kid that's Shabbos he says yeah are
you going to pay for the filter fish in
the refrigerator before shoppers
if you pay for the gefilte fish
that we buy Arab Shabbos to have in this
in the refrigerator we will have fish
they felt the fish for the kidneys
so what's the purpose the purpose is the
gefilte fish the purpose is to get
filter fish but in order to have the
gefiltered fish you have to someone has
to donate the money or buy it
the idea of Kiama Islam existence of the
universe is
but you'll notice that the designer cut
this says two
two statements one is arise
that's at the end of line two in this
chapter
going on to line three that Hashem and
the state are all one then he calls
which says
the 248 Mitzvahs correspond to the 248
limbs he employs a concept the limbs of
the king
so the rest of the chapter the ultimate
is going to going to deal with this
issue of the difference between the
unity
between the limbs of a human with the
human and the human himself
and then take it back and explain the
difference between
the Union
that we create with God when we learn
tied up versus the union we create with
Hashem when we do mitzvahs
both are necessary but there's a
difference
and
true that some people have more of a
schmuck more Delight they enjoy more to
do a Mitzvah to get them to learn
than the other people that love to learn
when it comes to doing a mitzvah
schwitzing for doing a Mitzvah there in
bed they're lazy
they're not interested
so that's that's that's an aside thing
we're not we're talking about what is
created when you learn Tito
in comparison to when you do mistress
let's continue
after the period
Financial
the act of doing Mitzvahs and their
sustaining the system there's just being
sustained
me this is the inner garment it's like
the the money that is that comes from
working hard lepnemius an alien to the
inner will of God says that this
acts in the alien the light and the
energy of the supernal will is drawn
with slavish Balaam is to invest itself
in the world
foreign
this is a a muscle an analogy come on
just as the limbs of a human being a
voice
are only a garment to the soul of the
person overtailing the Garment and are
completely annulled to the soul because
the call completely can be yeah
we see this because as soon as as it
ascends to a person's will when a person
has the thought that I want live Sheikh
yadri to stretch out the hand or ragley
or the foot hey
the foot and the Hand immediately listen
to the desire to the Russian to the will
you hear what I want stretch your foot
out hey hand you know what I want
stretch your hand out
if someone does that they got a problem
right
I prom as soon as you say as soon as you
feel I want to compose I want to play I
want to sing
you do it it's automatic
and go to that behance the word look at
the last line of the page here well
believe Shrum Shia Cloud it doesn't take
an a moment it's automatic it goes into
automatic mode whenever you're rutz and
Yoni says this is what I want to do boom
you're there hello Connecticut
it happens within a minute turn please
to the next page 56.
as soon as it ascends in your will I
wanna do this
that's the muscle now comes the nimshall
the moral
muscle
the energy of Mitzvahs and and how
they're sustained who bought the
ligamity is completely nullified
legabe wrote in comparison to the will
the Supreme will hamalupus break that's
invested in it financially mama
becomes like a body to a soul let me ask
you
my you're you have a body
does your body tell the the soul Hey
soul I want you now to uh excite me
no
when the soul wants to be excited Boom
the body acts
so the out that Empire says
that just as
when a person has a lot saying a will
for something immediately
the hand of the foot does exactly what
the will wants
so too the mitzvahs
the mitzvahs are completely
nullified to the will of God there's no
Independence in the mystery the Mitzvah
is the will of God
on the end of the third line so to the
external
garment shall never
within the Godly soul of in the man I'm
a kind of voice
which fulfills the
mitzvahsis which is the action
s
that it's enclosed in the energy of the
Mitzvahs
and it becomes like a body to a soul
whether that's an alien to the Supreme
will well
and it's completely unknown to it
volcano therefore
also the limbs of the body go for Adam
of the human body
my Mitzvah is the hand the feet the eyes
the nose the ears the the limbs
that do the misters
invested in them because at the time we
do the mistress
the the limbs of the human body become
an actual chariot
when you give a coin to Sudoku
or you give lanian to poor people so you
do something else
on your feet
that walk to a shoe that needs a minion
for example
so the mouth the Russian and the tongue
that speaks words
that thinks
tight in its mind
him
and yes
greatness all of that means that the
limb is is so subdued
to the will that it becomes a chattering
it's automatic
and this explains this famous saying
the ancestors the others Hain
Hainesville
those four words
are the words of the
razals
they they
name I met a cover they are the chariot
why because
the others they had no Independence
outside will of God except they were a
chariot God filtered himself without
Simpson through the others
all of their limbs
separate and separate
from the physical material matter
foreign
all their days
that who epitomized this idea that
Mitzvahs are americava a chariot for God
to the point where
it's automatic the others we have to
create that it's not that when we put on
TuneIn in the morning I've run we put on
Twitter we put or we go and visit
someone we do a hasid whatever the
Mitzvah is
automatic you're going to feel this
Bittle this humility this subservience
to God we have to work on it but once we
we do that then the Mitzvah becomes the
vehicle for implementing God's will
so so far that has explained to us the
specialty and the virtue of doing a
Mitzvah and this is very different than
the way
and if this were to be developed and
explained a lot more people will do Mrs
because it touches upon the whole idea
whole idea of
who do you think runs the world who are
you after all right it's you know we're
here to facilitate God's will
this is what this points to
any questions
okay
everyone have a great day Mr Shem
tomorrow we'll learn more side gazon
stay safe only episode take care Shalom
bye-bye
