page 107 of the morning the encounters
of mayan
in the sixth mimer in the second chapter
towards the end
the second paragraph on the page aval
hanefesha bamas
he he spoke yesterday about the idea of
the rover remember we're all
this is all based on the possibility
of libby ailer and then le mans face
maya and he explained that smears hates
mayor jesus and malcolm's is thirsty
because it's looking for hashem
so to the officially kiss as it's in the
body and in the world it's thirsty
for godliness fine and what's rava
rava means satiated but here he
he he he uses it and explains it in the
negative meaning
who is who feels satiated and doesn't
have a thirst for hashem than ever
shabbam is
because it's full of itself and it's all
in all of its wills and it gets whatever
it wants so it has no need
no thirst and now he explains that the
inside
second paragraph
is the animal drive
and this is how it quenches its thirst
[Music]
and it's very simple for it
to quench his thirst by gosh me is by
everything
that's around around her it's it's there
and he quotes the hazal in shabbos
[Music]
whoever whoever has their their their
thing on please turn it off
none is richer than the swine
then the pig the pig is the richest
animal
why if you see michael lip say less
because its food is is
is waste okay i i don't know who said
smt 290 is but your your your your
fingers on is clapping the cup
you're innocent avi i don't know who
that is please thank you
thank you therefore
the fun of tommy the pig's food
is always in front of it it always is
with naked
and it can easily get its desires and
its typhus
it's all around it it doesn't have to
work hard that's the swine
so that's what the mother says leaves
means wealthy it's the wealthiest animal
it's always around it has its food in
its waste
so so too in the morrow
so also regarding physical pleasures
it is known when he says you do it means
in kabbalah it says
all the physical pleasures on earth here
are one
big amount of waste coming
from the supernal angels
the famous story of the husset is
walking in moscow
and it's the the the they started to
build the big buildings over there in
the early
1900s whatever and the hostage says to
and
never saw such a big building in his
village that he was raised
and he says aha now i see
that the malachim had lots of waste
to expose of
so you understand that gas mias
is waste is this it's called the psilos
of the malachi that's what he says here
so therefore having all the gospels all
around you and
and and readily available is having
spiritually waste if over necessary
so it's easy to attain them
and it quenches the thirst volcanic rava
and that's why the possibility
calls this state of being satiated
and and we think about it just for a
moment we think about this it's so true
you know i'll just give you a simple
example
a friend of my wives has won
years ago uh in an auction
a raffle she won um
kalyn dishes china dishes
they've been in storage for years and
she has to move out
so she asked my wife maybe she can find
an owner for them
my wife has been looking high and low no
one wants to take him
so i asked her why not they're in the
box the box is closed hasn't been open
because they don't have a brand name to
him
and even the woman who pinches gold's
daughter who is a tadakis rahul benjamin
mama sadeki she she's helped thousands
of
sanem and khales with with hackness's
colon she raises i mean
tremendous has tremendous
my wife called her i have a set of
dishes for a hus and a cola
she said my cosmic colors they want
dishes that have a name because they
want good dishes so
maybe you can ask someone else
i'm not saying this to put her in the
negative because
this blew my i i still can't get over it
i mean
brand new dishes if you gave me when i
was a
newly married man and you offered me
brand new dishes i would i would grab
them but
this brand that brand no brand i mean
it's like
but barak hashem and i said to my wife i
said we live
at a time there's so much access really
you know
people yes the people saying they don't
have the jobs and partners and all that
it's all relative but here you're
offering people
dishes and they and they say no and
we're at the verge of putting them
based out on the street they're in the
back of my car they weigh the car
they're
very heavy no one wants to take them so
what's going on here
gosh me is is all over yes moshe
just say just send them to all of us
we'll split them all up we'll all be
happy to take them
so anyway but you understand that
is writing this in 1903 1904 right
it's over a hundred years later and what
he writes here
is that it's like the swine it's easily
accessible
you know therefore it feels satiated
you know and and again growing up with a
european you know father
you know from that generation the
holocaust you know
he he ingrid engraved in us this this
idea like you know
and my swear to growing up in russia and
musket in in kharkov in ukraine
like they didn't have what to eat they
didn't have what to eat and the other
day i told you that yo khan told me
how when he came with his parents he was
a little boy 30 1935 third to throw
to 40 to 45 didn't have what to eat the
biggest
jews the russia shivers the khasid would
go around selling milk
selling bread and then you know um uh
rabero weiss
schmoe is not here but i told you many
times we know him from los angeles or in
the olympus
right a hungarian jew gave a lot of
tsudaka big
he told me i was close to him he told me
he told me his history how when he came
to los angeles
he went around i think he was selling
milk or washing windows
i mean you know hashem blessed him and
he became a wealthy man
but very humble beginnings so the gashmi
is
you know when the rabbit says it's found
it's found okay
okay no one's dying here from starvation
anyway
kitser
and and and and if we know someone
and you know especially with this covent
situation that
tucker can't go out and needs food and
this or that it's the biggest mitzvah to
help them
okay
when the spheres are when the um the
emanation
of the called malchus as it descends
as it becomes part of another world
another experience miss gabriel
it gets thirsty
he wants to go back to its source mommy
i want to go home
tati i want to come back father
the soul hillel is so spiritual in
in the spiritual realm that
even an intellectual thought
[Music]
that is deep but yet
means um
it can become i'm sorry most
constant involved with matter descending
into the body it becomes related to
and it chooses to corrupt it it becomes
i thought means like surrounded by gas
means
over here when this the shema comes into
our body
it becomes associated again the word
shaikhis is very important in the kitser
it becomes associated to existence to
yesh
the you you see that's where the that's
where the downfall starts
as soon as you have an association even
if you're not heavily involved as soon
as you associate yourself with gashmias
it's a it's a downhill from there
awesome
but says i'm i don't want to be here so
the summer is very thirsty
the sherman is very very hungry for for
god's hashem
that's the nephew of the kiss of the
summer
its primary derived is corporeality
is coarseness is kashmir's course
kashmiris
we call it rava associated let's let's
continue the third minor in the third
chapter
when it goes back yes yes that's a good
question i'm sorry
yes just connected obviously with what
we're speaking about
can you can you speak for a moment
um the attitude
towards gosh miss in a very
sophisticated way like the rashaba is
is the rabbi is teaching us
do you think that that is the reason why
you see that
chabad generally speaking
is not known to have
and this is going to sound a little bit
weird what i'm going to say but
khabad is not known as opposed to other
khasiris
is not known orbitally to have a large
amount of
virum in the hasidis as opposed to
you know satmar
you see that things generally like you
go into 770
things are posted these are simple not
grandiose there's no massive chandelier
all over the place you know so is this
i'm assuming i'm is this can you speak
about that yeah
just just a moment yes yes uh i'm glad
you brought it up the answer is
more than a hundred percent
not a hundred percent more than a
hundred percent
today today today meaning you know
as the years continue
you have hashem more laboratory and
hashtag
and and we need them we need more
because everything's so expensive and
there's so many meisters
but at the kernel of the chabad ethos
and development of sidim when they came
from russia
in russia and when he came from russia
they were very poor
and what was the what did the rabbi the
rashab
and the previous rebel and the rebel
tell their seed
not to have to do gospels kashmir is as
a trap
daven for six hours eat a little bit
learn and then after
now understandably when you have a
family they didn't tell you to do that
and
ever for example i'll give you just an
example
rabbi gaffney you heard of robert
gaffney he's in sfas today
he was the masjib for years in the
balchuri
a very special jew very special you
should really get to know him
hashem alive and he's here it is mid-80s
so you got to get to know him now
and i spent quite a bit of time with him
and he actually was brought
into the bavitch because of my wife's
grandfather absolutely sarabronski in
australia it's a whole story
for another time but not for now one day
blind i'll tell you the story
it's a fascinating story so
so he was governing every day
he lit he got married he was the first
wedding and he told me
in 1962
when they opened the yeshiva in 62 he
was the first wedding there
and he stayed then he went to oklahoma i
think in a brock he lived in benebrad
for years
and he would dive in every day and then
they opened up the balcony yeshiva
which is another story how it went why
it was it wasn't simple you know to get
russian the barbecues to open up about
yeshiva
ain't simple okay it's a whole partial
for itself
a whole story but they did because the
rather wanted it so they
had no choice you know if they had a
choice they would have not done it
but the rebel wanted it it has to be
done
and who better than rabbi gaffney he
speaks he
english he's a he's he knows hebrew he's
a talmud hawkham he's a hostage the
right man for the job
okay and and gaffney
mcguffney um would die but he had to die
every day and he doubted with kavanaugh
he died long
and that um it got
a little much where the don holler the
the administration of quran said you're
coming late
we have students who need you you got to
be 11 o'clock in basement metrics you
come 12
you know it's great that you're diving
into a stream but
so he went into the rabbit and he had
this he had many
and the rabbit told them basically they
are right
and he's there ever said there's an old
teaching by
hasidim every day you make
uh uh in the yiddish the word is
you know the canadian music nation means
a bend bend
like you know bend your page i'm holding
here
so tomorrow when we come back we'll know
where we're up this year bend your page
it's called
in them that was an old slogan
by laboratories for 200 years you know
in other words
i i really didn't dive in oh i didn't
really didn't dive on all of davening i
did i said words but
the little guy diamond was to this point
and that's it
and tomorrow the nature is a little
further that's what i dive into
so of course i said the words and i
heard that kadusa but
i davening where i not that every day so
the rabbit said to rabbi gaffney
make a knack in the cedar
at 10 30 or whatever 10 45 giving
yourself some time to eat and to be in
base measures by 11
and then the next day you come back and
you start again
from where you made the knach he told me
the rabbit told him this
amazing story
what do you would see from this that the
the thrust of and this is rabbit gotham
who wasn't a russian hussain you know
what i'm saying
but he he got it he picked up on the on
what
and you picked up on that moisture too
that's the nakuta
that is lobavich and and what you said
now is something that i've been
you know talking and thinking and
campaigning about
for the last 40 years you know and i i
grew up with this
in the sense of my father sharing with
me what he saw
by him in lord when he was in yeshiva
from 15 to 58
and the khasid and then in my travels
and meeting
with mental foot of us and many others
in my fair
so there's no question the soccer baller
they came the rebels and they pushed
their husband to go into business
and give sadaka and give a lot of tadook
and they do
now you could say they give it to their
that you know their own institutions
that yeshiva's
khabad gives it stuck at about houses
that's another discussion
but overall there's no question about it
and it took
years i mean you could count on your
finger you mentioned 770 moshe
you could count like five six or seven
people
out of a thousand people in 770 on a
regular shabbos
who had some money you can give to duck
and everyone else was just making
you know bare bones yeah and and and
and but they worked themselves up i mean
take my father my father was a green
owner came to
this country in a 58 he didn't have a
dollar do you know that if not for
ghetzel burger the sapphire closet from
england who was on the same ship as he
going to america
my father would have came without a
penny because his money was stolen the
the lerout that myself my grandfather
gave him
was stolen on the boat he had no money
penniless he's not a boat coming to
america
he didn't have kosher food so guess what
burger saw the way this
bucker is davening he said oh
this is a year shamayim so he said to
him
i so my father so my father went over to
him and said can i have something to
drink
so he gave him coca-cola he remained
gave him coca-cola or pepsi whatever he
had
and he said because you're darvin nicely
and then he gave i think five dollars
and that's how he came to america with
five dollars
and that's how he began you do you
understand
you're talking about a different a
different culture a different culture
now
since you mentioned itself could should
this culture be
repeated today the the way i see it is
it cannot
even if you want to repeat it it cannot
we are so immersed
in gosmius in the babbage as well
that it it this requires
a a separation you know when you're in
yeshiva in morristown
in a forest or in the wake of was
in 1950 to 60 you know you could do it
probably still
you have to real but once you get
involved in the way of the world and the
programs
and the grants and the tuitions
you can't it's very difficult it's very
difficult
nevertheless nevertheless the idea is
true
so we we endeavor to
to emulate as much as we can
and because the world needs so much more
money today today the the wish is
to have more funds but to
work with such a mimer and attitude and
that you still have
that you still have you you have people
not only chabad in the lit in all in all
circles in fact the literature world i
want to tell you something
i don't know how it nurts this role but
here
i was told by mushroom who come from
america's role
that they raise more money in lakewood
than they do in borough park in
williamsburg how do you like that
i i think there's a certain you know
from kite
orthodoxy uh religiosity
to the literature balabus
a person asked to say dhaka what's the
question
i can't give you you know a lot but
there's there's a very froome
uh religious regiment towards
such an issue whereas by hasidim
you know you know you know what i'm
saying anyway
with enough okay so make sure that i did
i feed you
that i give you some food for thought
yeah there's a lot to say but yeah
for sure no for sure i i i understand
exactly
it's just interesting like you look to
go to
today and you still see you still see
the original small homes
right yeah but you see more and more
more and more every time i go to someone
else
has built on to their house but like
in a drastically uh
a whole nother level it's it's
what can i say it's um i it's a very i
think it's a very very
um this is what we're learning it's i
think it's a very very
look i i could yeah i could tell you
that all of you
i know i i know you and i know your
houses and your apartments
you're you're living the way the rasha
is talking about here and i'm serious
i'm saying
who's living with extravagance here no
one okay
whether you have your own apartment your
own house it's not extravagant compared
to
you know what what we have here in
america and other countries so
you know and look you know
god bless him i you know today i say god
bless him i'm
i'm not going to you know point the
finger at someone who you know adds on
or or you know what i'm saying that has
to come from yourself and
and um you know it's just like i told
you moshe it's a different
age and different people it's they're
not the same
it's a different you know could you
imagine
the the tuition i don't know how it's
not just you guys that you know you have
subsidized
but the tuition the tuition is is
unbelievable here
and and and parents sometimes pay 30 40
for four or five kids where are they
gonna get the money
even if they make a hundred thousand
dollars a year so
you know it it's it's it and and why the
yeshiva is taking more
and the girls school because the rebbi
and then the rebbe and his wife need to
live like i mentioned
because they also have five ten children
so it's a whole it's a whole cycle
it does many changes and um
it it well it also it also one second it
it
it pours spills over to to the
shidduchim
which we spoke about and i don't want to
go into it now but because we got to get
back to the text
please can i can you let me go now
[Music]
let's continue since
it's an election season if you're uh
voting for them i'd nominate moshe
okay okay how have i hello hello
everyone everyone should be become a
veer a big fear
everyone hallelujah okay
and by the way the rebbe in 1958
i mean the rebel 58 at the fabregan the
river spoke about wealth
and and then at some point he said
those that wanna broker wanna should
raise their hands
this this feeds right into what you said
moshe it's a famous
you can hear it you can hear it on tape
i think and and
and three people raise their hand and we
know who they are
and the represent afterwards this was an
auspicious time
for wealth and because your kasi didn't
shake
him you're foolish hasidim
you squandered the bracha because it's a
possibility should not be fitting
should want money
right that that right and the rabbit 58
already saw
what the grandchildren of these people
sitting there at the fabrega what
they're going to need in 60
and a 70 and in 2000 and 2020
and because of their hasidis kite they
didn't raise their hand
and only three people raised their hand
and they became very wealthy and we know
who they are
so so there's a time for everything but
the attitude
the attitude moisture is is what counts
you understand the attitude
there's a person here in borrowed
he's got he's already 80 year old man
a very wealthy man i i'm telling you
he doesn't live like a rich man he has
the same house believe me he can build
the nicest house in berlberg
okay and he lives in the same house that
lasts 40 years
it's a house i've been inside the house
the carpets are old the you know it's
dark and dingy
and it gives away a tremendous now it
you know it's giving us 20
50 it's not my business i don't know and
i don't care but all i can tell you is
that
you know there are there are still
people who hashem bless them and they
don't live
you know with with the arrogance and
then and the richness
but i'm saying even if some do that's
their avoid it's not for us to
to judge i i don't not today you know
a hundred years ago by the way or 50 60
years ago if i brendan
oh boy or a mental foot of us would
level you he would make minced meat out
of you
if you didn't give money to the babaji
yeshiva which he needed for in the
underground
my father-in-law told me a story this
was a summer count in the 40s
it was a a hustler to make good money in
the black market
and remember foot of us know about it
and those of her bring in
a mendel said to him and this was a good
friend of his this was like
you know a drinking buddy okay you know
i don't mean drinking but
they gave their life a yiddish kite and
mendel
my father-in-law was at this fabric and
he told me that mendel turned
to this cluster that he said so and so
put down the money on the table now
and he like turned colors and
he's he didn't respond at a mendel and
said if you don't put the money down on
the table now
that i need for time for me to shiva
needs
i'm gonna wipe the floors with you and
guess what he did he took the money out
and put it on the table he gave it all
the way to mental foot of us
that that
that was once that was to see them those
were the babbage succeeded the
best friends and they loved each other
even after this fabregan
they were the best friends i used to see
them learning in 770
in the seventies and eighties we could
deteriorate together like
nothing happened 40 years ago where he
embarrassed in the public and he
basically
forced him to give away his money that's
it's it's we could come back to the
attitude
the attitude that we should be so tight
and
in one with each other that we could
criticize each other and still love each
other
and and accomplish what needs to be
accomplished okay 107. these elvis
buttocks
shoulder yes lee
this is the meaning and the person can
devour him he shall bless himself
saying he shall be to me alpha p next
page
109 alpha p shall be be elect
although i shall have peace
and thereby
be called
um i will join literally the words twice
means to join i will join
the position of rava
with samaya ella
i will join the state of being called
satiated
to the state of being called thirsty
besides mothers i will draw
vitality from the thirst
that my nephew shall excuse godly soul
as for god
i will have that
impact the state of being where i am
not um thirsty because i'm into gas mias
as alluded to in the esoteric concept
of its feet descend
to death or commission is boiling
the last letter of hey of hashem's name
we have it
we lower it we make it lower we we make
it
have a descent because hey the hatsuma
the hey of the word
i'm sorry to the ten emanations of of
their translucent clipper
with neem sheffield is behind sodium
so what happens what happens is that
you're using the godly energy
to give koach to the 70 ministers avi
the 70 ministers of negativity
and from there the sinner gets vitality
here's the answer how is it that the bad
guy
has koyak right why do bad people
thrive and survive and and you know
that's old question
right the answer is you know why because
they got energy from kedusha
how because kedusha the hay
was swept into the iron surrey to the
seven hold on hold on
to the seven to the seven seventy
ministers
meaning the the aspects of klippa and
from there
that's the life force for the sinner
so the sinner is the transgressor the
the balchet
is using energy of kadusa that it's been
robbed and it gives them kayak
so the answer is how does the bad guy
survive and make it
and and and the answer is because he has
kedusha working for him
you must have kedusha but he doesn't
have to do sure the way kadusha is in
its
potency in a state of holiness the way
it should be he has conducive has been
minimized
reduced but it's nevertheless has an
element of kedusha
next next paragraph look which of course
will be
that our sins caused that the height of
the hay
and amongst israel can receive vitality
for
their goof for the godly soul and
for their animal drive for babies
just like all other animals
says we are they're compared to animals
we're like animals now animals also
survive
well then
the truth is that he'll have peace
it says when is that possible
only there's because the word in the
past
in the volume is shalom peace
this manner that we just described seems
to be a very
non-peaceful approach
kind of the highest of kadusas being
robbed being taken as a slave
to to to ghosts to the clipper to the to
the sinner
says that but there's another way that
is
type of 111
i want to make it clear we're talking
about two different ways
this is important to the miners so you
have to have it clear
there's two different ways that that
that clip is that clippers get their
highest and go and get their highest
one is from kedusha that was what we
learned until now
the kadusa energy is robbed going into
golos
and hence giving some highest to
the second way is now what we're
learning now it's called
to begin with they get from they don't
get from the paninis they get from the
back side of hashem called acharayam
look and he brings the muscle that he
brought earlier come on the show that
was a cosplay
just like someone who throws something
behind his back
you see moshe the first way is i'm not
i'm i'm giving it to you
straight with my face looking at you but
i'm not giving it to you
entirely you know what i'm saying the
second way is i don't even look at you
i'm throwing behind my back
that's called
god will not waste hashem that wish to
forgive him
what is forgiveness forgiveness means
hashem says
i like you and i forgive you so only
a yid can get that
that's what the verse means i will not
wish to forgive him
right
[Music]
hashem's anger will will vent itself
on him so what we're saying here is that
that a yid can get sleek
but there's a situation where you don't
get sleep you get anger and if you get
angry you get trouble
so that the rebel shot right away can't
kind of tolerate this type of wording
you know this idea so he
right away questions himself next
paragraph
although in the altar represents the
truth the
chapter we mentioned earlier
what do you mean dr evans says that even
a sinner
can also receive vitality for hashem
the chapter it's um what's the reason
who
who ha
who's the one giving the clipper
it's hashem be the person's activity
therefore
uh so therefore he takes his portion
first
he's saying that he's saying like wait a
minute
you're telling me everyone could do
truva
and it's the person who has caused
the highest the energy of hashem to go
into the wrong place
so now when he does truffa he gets some
of that energy
so so what's the problem so why do you
say that hashem's anger will
will blaze so this is a rhetorical
comment and question and the answer is
the retort to rhetorical question is
wow i wonder if you can explain this
later
says for eventually that flow to the
sinner will be terminated
look at the footnote 6161
why for the citroen can only serve as a
temporary source for the sitting jew
so in other words so in other words the
temporary
energy will be terminated so if you're
not left
with your own energy of kedusha you're
in big trouble
and this is when you know god forbid we
have big big issues
so in other words like the question was
hillel why can't
the kayak that they that the clippers
took
and now when a person does truva why
can't some of that energy
revitalize the the jew and and and then
help him
and the rebel says because at the end of
the day
you the the hashball
the hashball that's given to clippers
has an end
it's a very important dakuda energy
highest given to kedusha is eternal if
not today tomorrow
but when you dump energy into it's like
a a penny stock
not a penny stock a stock that's that's
going you know off the boards and it's
in big trouble
it's probably going to be a big zero you
know
it has to end sometime
he doesn't he doesn't say more work
verbiage so i don't know you know
but he all the rashford says
we must say that the energy will be
terminated
so that you will not be able to use this
energy to do truth
let me just read the kids certainly
finish miss buttock bill
actually we'll read tomorrow the kitzer
because we'll start with to refresh our
our remember anyway
um some deep thinking deep ideas
important um this idea at the end that i
will
not clear about i still want to think
about it
but um
we have to know that that you know what
is going to go
into now the next chapter i think is an
elaboration
of how the how the clipper gets
its
highest which is what we began
discussing just before i think he's
going to go into it in the next mime
right length
everyone have a blessed day govalde
make the best of the day meshiach now
shalom bye bye take care
