Why Study Chasidus - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

the last four five four words on the line this is what we mean you shall follow in my ways [Music] this is the assistance that a jew gets from hashem when he commits himself to kaisei we also mentioned earlier it doesn't say it says plural why hence we want it to be moshe a a engraving that comes from a flowing well remember he quoted the process a well a well comes from the bottom up and it flows constantly so we want the summer and when that is accomplished hashem gives us the rain what does that mean [Music] where do you get what aspect of torah is the oriha gondo's panemius versus the exoteric part of torah so there's negla and there's hasidis that's nicole i'm sorry so it's only in the in the the niggler is the exoteric and the panemius is the esoteric which is called or hagonus the hidden light says that ever here it's this all this is still not adequate it's [Music] you must refine your body torah here torah there hey are you a mensch do you have nice middles anyone that says about this doesn't focus on the practical bottom line but let them read this line over here okay this is from robbie ayman to rip out to tear out bad meters or hot noise and to acquire as ambitious drivers good middles okay so khabar doesn't spend five pages on like moosa does on this concept it's short and brief but it's the same idea i don't miss it is the same idea as muslim i mean to say that that a result of learning preemies torah requires refinement of character that's what he says look what he says at the bottom of 286 he says all these things of the premier's and the well-flowing and the khattikam he says all this is good stuff but it's not adequate because there needs to be the avoider going on to 287 of refining your character your goof how by removing the ugly middles and acquiring in their place good middles is it clear enough absolutely overclouds there and rebbe says part of this incorporates includes hayaker the title mitzvahs what does the word you care mean precious expensive dear something that's yay care there is torah mitsusavi but then there is the yo character mitzvos not in other words it's dear to me it's precious to me like you have an item that's so precious uh uh uh uh something that that's nostalgic that's that's you know for your parents and grandparents it's not just you have a nice item baroque it's yiker to you it's like sentimental that's the word i'm looking for sentimental so we're talking about here having an appreciation of torah mitzvahs in a sentimental way and now he says in yiddish look let's look at the yiddish by himself what's the next pier mishna in pirkei office after robbie oymer it says what have you been missing be careful in the lenient mitzvahs like in the stringent mitzvos you know how that could be only if you have an appreciation for the yiker if you see every missile as precious then there's no difference between what seems to be lenient or seems to be stringent it's all mixed with hashem and if you take it don't have the yayker appreciation you don't feel it as precious but rather just you do what you do and all that then you you make a difference between oh this is a big one you know at the three big mitzvahs kasras and everything else we could film for we can play around with you know of course when someone doesn't know about an elephant a base you tell them hey guy let's start with the three big c's you know kostras the travis and and and and and tara but someone who's knowledgeable someone is learning someone has a family someone's already from and knows better what are you talking about and and and something that's uh lenient that seems to be easy that we could you know go this way that way no because i look at the mitzvah what's behind the mitzvah was behind it so every mitzvah whether it's outer form is easy or or heavy it's essence is precious that's what he says then he'll be careful in the mitzvah that's kala like he is with hamura and the river says this is comes only when you choose a path the right path that man shall choose right robbie only going back to the beginning of the mimer on page 279 that we began about two three weeks ago two weeks ago and we quoted the mystery ravioli and what's the right path man should choose and we ask the questions terry mitchus what's the answer now bottom line guys what's the answer the answer is we're not just talking about parameters we're talking about working with your nephesh obama's refining your character and that's when you become beautiful that's when you when god likes you and man likes you and when you're lacking in in that area there's a breakdown you might make god happy but you don't make man happy you might make men happy you don't make hashem happy so drabio says you want to be you want to accomplish completion wholesomeness you want to be wholesome you got to do the avoid of working with the goof and refining the nefeshabamis what's the time almost 2 40 to 40. so another five minutes i'll just tell you something else and first of all any any questions comments anyone okay so the [Music] in this idea to this idea that we find an emphasis on this this he says is identifier you know it also requires thought that's not that like some people ask no so you need hasidis to teach you this let me learn more let me learn pierkie others and and i and and and i know that peter kiovis talks about character character improvement character refinement why must i learn hasidis and not just ordinary hasidis not just hasidis of the balshemptov why and the answer is that for a person to constantly to constantly feel the need to refine themselves and work on themselves today today meaning the last two three hundred years when things have become so um the way they are the way okay you need to excite your mind you have to be stimulated you know i live here in borough park and i have all these qasida all around me or if you live in jerusalem and you go down to mayashara magala right you have all these hasidim around you there's no question that peop people who are into their hasidic tradition and it's a wonderful tradition and are plugged in nevertheless the mind the mind the cycle sometimes is not plugged in why because they didn't they didn't apply they didn't use their mind for their connection they used their heart shuckling screaming singing emotions emotions is great there's no question about it but when you when you have in addition to the emotions the cycle the cycle talks especially today to western thinkers there's no question that without look look even asiator and ursa maya you know they they they used i don't know how much is today but they used to use the cycle element to convince people to be from or amnon yitzhak right in other words what we see is that the world post holocaust for sure needs cycle to to continue because cycle is a very exciting thing you understand so the altar ebba saw this already 250 years ago when he started the chabad movement as a continuation of the balshampton although said the bashanto's approach will require especially in in russia and in ukraine where uh haskala was rampant and in germany haskallah took over and the youth were all gravitating because it was fascinating and they right so the alternative if we don't provide kosher haskallah i.e the khabad usage of mind to understand god and see how god is united with the world we're going to lose them my wife say that absolutely grew up in brahim ukraine near chernobyl not far from chernobyl and he was a bright boy and he learned you know in in the local haters whatever and then that communists got in and many of his friends most of them were all communists and they were from in their youth and then they left their front kite and they said to them and he said that they gave him books to read and he read them he was a very bright man and he he said he even understood that there's value to the communist ideology but one thing that they said to him that he couldn't agree with is therefore they said drop god drop hashem and ribs almost said i don't see the two i do and but he said this was a challenge for him when he was a 20 year old young man in in russia ukraine this was an intellectual challenge that his best friends argued with him and they said you know and he said okay i can even accept some of the arguments of the communists or the ideology but to me you don't have to drop hashem for that and luckily he checked into the babaji yeshiva in rostov and and and and then later kharkov in 1924 and 25 and he and he learned hasidis with rabb goldschmidt who later came to bernay brock and they had and he opened his head and he was thinking and he and you know and originally he didn't go into that he didn't go to the rep he said i'm not ready to go yet what he was saying is i'm not yet a husset i have to figure this out do i really believe this ideology do i understand this ideology and after a half a year year of engaging intense hasidic thought learning hasidis he understood and then he said now i'm ready to go see the rebel so this is why it's not enough of us and it's not enough moosa and it's not enough we need also to and and and not to be a laboratory people think this is only for the barbecues no it's for every eid the style of the alternator that he that he taught if vis-a-vis is for every eid not just for the baby succeeded that's a mistake that people make and they think that kanye's for the bavitches kebabs i said this is just for the babies i don't want to be a laboratory i'm not a laboratory so big deal mistake it's a mistake the ideology is for claudius throw the philosophies of claudius through okay well tomorrow we're going to have a vibranium for gimbal
