Okay, boker tov, good morning. The month of Cheshvan is sponsored by Dina Tobin for the refuah shleimah of Mark Weiser bas Mazel by the friends for the refuah shleimah of Yehudit bat Tzafa anonymously for the civil organ for Esther bas Rochel and Chana Miriam bas Tina Pearl, Yael Lavie bas Chana Devorah Galia bas Yehudit and the week is sponsored by the Berkowitz family for the refuah of Rochel Brecha bas Pnina Rus. First of all, the sefarim are in Eretz Yisrael and they're in Ra'anana. I forgot to ask my father yesterday to Chile. I forgot. I didn't realize they were there yesterday. Um Oh, you'll be there Thursday? Oh, great. If anyone wants to steal the mitzvah from my father. Is he young? Okay, so one of them thank you. Okay, beseder gamur yofi. Yeah, the sefarim are in thank God. We we we got a bunch of them. So, I'm very very much looking forward to the to you holding the sefer in your hand. And I've been in touch with the family of the mechaber this last since like since the mechaber's brother right? The mechaber's brother is the one that put out that video that I sent you guys. And it's just a so beautiful what a beautiful beautiful family. Such a love there. Ne'imut such no'am. Um Kacha, we have good news today. The good news is the perek that we're learning today. This is actually very very good news. If you look at the title of today Emunah Hi Bi Yerusha, that basically tells you everything. Emunah that we're so longing to to discover to enhance to surround ourselves with emunah comes down through inheritance. Now, let me ask you a shaila with with din of not to go too deep into the halachos of this. But if there's a Yoresh, right? If someone is a legitimate Yoresh and it's someone that inherits logically, can he can that person the person that is Yoresh deny his Yerusha? Can a person deny their own Yerusha? What do you think? >> I think yes. >> Yeah? You think you can? Let's go some Let's start with Can a person denounce his Yerush? Denounce his Well, it's two different words, denounce versus deny. Can a person deny their Yerusha? >> Yes. >> I would say >> No. >> Can you denounce it? Yes. But even if you denounce it, you cannot deny it. Right? No, they No, it's directly to you. Yeah. So, that's a very So, I want you to keep that in mind. If we say that Emunah and he's going to show here out there how this is how what what that means that there's something that you cannot you cannot deny. You may denounce as much as you want. I am Emunah he be Yerusha. Faith is something that we already have because we were born into the family, because we were born into the Mishpacha. Now, similar to the way that we learned out the two different types of holiness in Friday's sheer, there's a level of Emunah that can kind of get It can get blemished. And then there's a world of Emunah that exists within us that can't be touched. It's the same thing. Like we were learning regarding of Kadusha. It's the same exact thing. Works the same exact way. So, let's start off Let's start off right away as given Emunah he be Yerusha. This is a beautiful safer. I'm sure you the Slonimer Hasidim the room you had this safer. This is a beautiful safer called Toras Ovos of Toras Ovos. B'shem Harav Hakadosh Reb Nachman of Breslovich. S'chus yagein aleinu. Sheyihudi tzarich l'ha'amin asher b'fnimiyuso hu ma'amin b'emunah shleimah. A yid has to believe that deep down inside he he or she believes b'emunah shleimah. V'rak she'avim m'chasim oso. It's just that thick layers of fog is blocking it. But a yid has to believe This is crazy. He has to believe that he believes. Sounds funny, right? Tzarich [snorts] l'ha'amin asher b'fnimiyuso Not only does he believe hu ma'amin b'emunah shleimah. So psych- psychologically speaking over here, what does this mean? What does this do to a person? If you they have to train themselves to say no matter despite whatever happens, not just that I still believe in you. I believe that deep down I still believe in you even when I manage on the outside don't believe in you. Tameivinim? >> in you. >> Feels whatever nachon. On the outside it feels mamash like I don't believe in you. A yid's avodah in this world is that dafka then to remember that deep down inside I actually have emunah shleimah in you. Emunah shleimah in you. And I just have avim I have these thick thick layers of of clouds of fog of confusion that are standing in between that which is emes l'amito that I believe in you b'emunah shleimah to what I'm feeling right now to what seems to be like reality. Let's continue to have him develop this for us. Uveira d'over hu k'mo she'kasuv b'Tanya as the Alter Rebbe writes in the Tanya perek Yud Chet, she' avo'er solution l'chol echad v'echad mi'Yisrael neshama mi'ha'esser s'firos. So, our our our forefathers, horishu, they left us an inheritance to each one of Am Yisrael a neshama that emanates from one of the ten s'firos. Ki heim asu atzmam merkava l'shchinato yisbarach. They made themselves to be a merkava, the chariot, the wheels on the chariot for Hashem's shchina. V'hinחילu zeh l'zar'am. And they I don't know what the right word in English for l'hanחיל. >> Bequit. Bequest. >> Sure, that's what I I was about to say that. I'm sorry, yeah. Really. You could have given me one more second, I would have gotten there. >> [laughter] >> In the next gilgul, I would have gotten there. And they bequeathed this to this to their offspring. U'v'soch s'firas ha'chochma she'b'neshama me'ir ohr ein sof baruch hu. V'lachen kol Yisrael, afilu amei ha'aretz, heim ma'aminim ba'Hashem ki b'soch p'nimiyus nishmasam heim margishim metzi'uso yisbarach she'me'ir b'kirbam. Even those that are mamash amei ha'aretz, how could it be that they have an inyan of emuna? How could they feel emuna? How could they be attached to emuna? What did they What did he say here based on the Alter Rebbe? >> It's in It's inside of them. >> Through which s'fira? He called it out, through chochma. Kulam b'chochma asisa. Right? So, chochma is the lower level of those three, right? Levels of chochma, bina, and da'as. So, through the s'fira of chochma, he says, based on the Alter Rebbe in the Tanya perek Yud Chet, that's how it could be that you have amei ha'aretz g'vorim that walk around with some kind of sense of where did it come from because this is a this is a matter of time. So don't worry. I want to explain this a little bit outside. What does it mean that they became a miracle over the what does that mean? What does that mean? It means that the concept of that we all like to spoke throw around the whole by them. It was like that they themselves were completely nullified completely self remove they didn't get in the way at all of the shining in this world. Once a person does that it's like if you want to know how you give your kids a real Russia. Like once once that once you do that that you completely nullify yourself in the holiest way to what he wants you to do in this world and what he wants the world to receive from you through you then he says you create a for your children. And what's the for your children which is the greatest you could ever leave them? That they believe that they believe in a sham. There is no greater you could be for your children. Nothing. Nothing in the world. That's the greatest thing in the world you could leave for your children. And that's how he's saying what the is saying that explaining how someone that seems to be so such an he feels something because even to once they did that all the that comes after and forever has in them as a and through one of the spheres through a different way shines in different way for different people. But everyone has something and David was right. I don't know what I'm meaning by meaning I mean it's not his but I mean it's it's it's of course leave it to for right what you do with Gematria, he's like that with Jewish music. You understand? >> Okay. [laughter] >> But on the bottom, "will if you feel call Shiva calling will push a Israel Muslim of Shamar Kadosh Hashim." And therefore, even the lowest of the low and the portion of Am Israel, they give their life for Kadosh Hashim. But they all must have a calling Nakudas Israel. I never heard this before. Have you heard this concept before? Nakudas Israel. She has the whole Yudi bit old that all bit old that all. That's all that matters. I have a Nakuda of being a Yid. That Nakuda of being a Yid means >> The Yid. >> The The The The Italy. It's my destination. >> that's helpful. >> And that's And well, it starts meaning it it always for everyone starts from Hofma, but because of the way that he said mapped it here and how the altar that he continues there in Parik Yuthet and I think also in Parik Yuthet, for other people, the aura of their Nishama is coming from a higher sphere. So, their access to the Amuna that they we all have is a bit more tangible. But the Hofma is the I would call the Mahanaim Mashuta. That means the common denominator upon which everyone has some access. And they know the Amuna of Shlama that this is for true This is This is real. And all of us have that. I feel you call Shiva calling Allah. Yeshua Mashika as well as the doubles Gashmius lawyer gives the Amuna zone. So, why don't I feel it? Well, what are you running after? What kind of Yerusha you trying to leave for your children? What kind of Yerusha you trying to leave for your kind of love? How many people's they put so much effort into Gashmius behind the notion of I want my kids to have more than what I had growing up. That's a big thing in our door. Cuz many of us in the last, you know, previous generations or two generations ago, what did they have? You know, I I it came up as a memory on my phone. It was nine year nine years ago, I think. I was with my brother in Argentina for my uncle's I I guess if it was nine years ago, Abba, then it was the first yard site. Right. So, [clears throat] my cousin took me to the apartment that my father grew up in in Buenos Aires, okay? I'm not kidding right now. The apartment that my father grew up in the whole apartment, my father, his parents, and his brother was maybe half of this room. The whole place. The whole place. And many of us have grandparents that, you know, lived in those kind of conditions. And their whole Indian is to give more to their children. Now, that's a that's a very healthy and normal and beautiful thing. But but the mutual of them, it doesn't have to be stored it of that. Doesn't have to contradict the fact that they can give us more than maybe I don't know if they can give us more than what our grandparents gave those kids. Why? Because maybe the grandparents gave the kids a moon. >> I'm so happy you said that. >> Why? >> Just I am. >> Yeah? >> Because for all the right reasons the world we live in. >> Yeah. >> Marta >> So, >> Such a rough what tells us it needs to be like this, but it maybe it doesn't. Maybe it's more deeper than that. That's what we're learning right now. >> I'm trying to say like it's a normal it's a normal gut reaction for someone to want to give their children more than they had. That's good. Is it under the casement of something or not? So, he's saying over here when you're mashkiya yourself in getting more and more gashmius you're not going to feel that which you which you actually believe in. Which would be horrible. >> cannot shine up. They not pull it through with that. Yeah, like the Tanya says the next chapter. The hokhmah that you have when shlufi and it's not doing what it's supposed to do in this world. Like we have so many muscles that aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing in this world. Why? Cuz they're not exercised. They're not being used. They're not being prepared for a time of, you know, real usage. Which brings us back to Leo's speech, Reb Leib Deez speech at his wife's levaya. >> [snorts] >> Or maybe it was at his the two daughters levaya cuz it was two different levayas. Where he said that he was speaking big words of emunah at that funeral and all of us thought he was you know, mashu Reb Besser. But he was speaking, if you remember, some of the chevra I know that we're here, we we we went. He was saying words, lo yuman, what he was saying. And he said, "I want you to know the reason why I'm able to to talk like this is because I learn emunah every single day." He didn't start learning emunah when he heard those apikorus and his family's in it and he's in the he's in the cheder, he's in the hospital and he's starting to to to to upload shiurim on emunah. He has a seder in emunah every day and he credited Mama She. He credited Reb Efraim Goldberg with one of the most powerful statements I ever heard about emunah, that emunah is paying attention and focusing on what I have versus what I don't have. That's emunah. So then and then he said that amazing amazing powerful line. Reb says, "I could look here today and said, 'I had five children.' Or we were a family of seven." And he said, "Instead I'm standing here and I'm saying we are now a family of five. This is what we have." A person that's mashkiya in ta'avas of gashmius can't come to those con It's just that they'll never say words like that. They'll they'll never get to a maskana to think or talk like that, you know what I mean? It's just not part of the program. Cuz they're like the altar of the says they're Hakma, that which we Leo is speaking about from such a wise place, that level of Hakma mean near them. It went to the beginning of Sheena. You know, I have to tell you something. Yesterday I went to the funeral of a really special kid. This guy was something else. If you've ever spent time in the Rova, do any of you learn in the Rova? Yeah? Oh, right right right, it was still in the Rova then. Do you remember Ruven Halevi? Yes, exactly. Ruven Halevi. Ruven Halevi, old school Abba Zuker of Manhattan. >> He danced like back >> He married Emuna Witt about 20-something years ago. He was He would dance with you like it's no one's business, right? And I I think it was either a big rabbi or a yeshiva got up yesterday in the funeral of one of his fading in Har Hamenuchot. And it was amazing how he was speaking about the level of a year that lived with conscious Emuna all the well literally cuz her name his wife's name was Emuna, but also living with living with this level of Emuna. And I would always wonder why is he so He was You know, he never got He didn't get married. Didn't have his own children. And yet I want every I saw him when I saw him since I'm a kid, this kid was on He would grab like the end of your hand and start dancing with you, bopping with you. Bopping with you. I don't know, it just it popped up for me over here right now. >> [snorts] >> Ba feel the shower beneath them. I feel she yes Emuna beneath them. And I Emuna high beneath them. What a line. There are plenty of people. If you ask them they believe, they say yes. And you ask them, do you believe in Ashkaha? Yes. now you ask them all the shylas about Emunah. Everything. And the answer to everything is yes. He says you could have that in your mind, but the Emunah is not high but here but it's not alive. >> It's not in practice. >> It's not in practice. You're not training. You're not training it. >> [snorts] >> It's true and according to our nature we are my meaning but I mean it. A person must connect Emunah to recognition. It has to be to level as if it's like you're looking at it with your eyes. Emunah now over here Emunah means the shepherd. Like shepherd of faith. Emunah Reb Nachman has very a few very powerful teachings. Based on this again tell me just he says the first two words of this Emunah the dwelling in the land that we're living in is in order to shepherd faith. Emunah the shepherd faith should tell you what does that mean to shepherd faith? You should tell me with an eye. You have to shepherd finance. And what do you do with your with your flock? You have to give them You have to take care of them. Emunah Emunah it's on. We are it's on. In our time we were shepherds. You have to take care of them. You have to shepherd them. You have to faith them. Meaning it's not enough that I say I believe in Hashem. It's just not enough. It's like they do all these like scoring all these soccer. poles All the time about a million things, right? And one of the poles is like okay, Emunah right? So but Hashem, in am Yisrael, the hu ha ma'aminim is very, very big. Very strong. Focus on the good. Very high, very strong. Now, let's focus on the bad. Right? Now, within that, let's say, from the 100% of the ma'aminim, right? Then you ask, etzel kama ma'am >> [clears throat] >> ze inyan shel ohr eh emunah? No, because in yeshivas that we grew up in and yeshivas, many of them that still exist today, that's not part of the curriculum. It's not part of the curriculum. Rav Kook changed them. I mean, Rav Kook really merkaz haRav, they really they really put an emphasis on limud emunah. It's a little bit, you know, different than maybe the mahalakh we have here, because they were always they were they were always asked, okay, so what does that mean? What farm should we learn to in order to shepherd faith? So, you know what the main one through merkaz haRav is, right? The Kuzari. The Beur ha Halakha, the Kuzari. That [snorts] that's like a That that's Rav Tzvi Yehuda was really the one that pushed that and made that to be like the shepherding of of of faith. Give up. Baruch Hashem. But, whatever it is, it has it must be that we have to shepherd faith. We have to >> [clears throat] >> we have to activate this. It can't be something lying dormant. And you can't bank on Friday night davening to to this stuff, either. That's not how it works. Zeh mashu yoter gadol. It's in everyday life. Every single day. I think it I think it comes down to sichos chaveirim. Like, what kind of conversations are you having with friends? And is emunah is emunah part of the conversation? Well, a lot a lot of guys say, I need guys that I could just, you know, talk our heart and like spill my guts and everything. But, wouldn't you want like that together with a a a a a faith-based conversation? She's a gam chelek mizeh. Chayav lihiyot. Uvaze yetzuras ma sheyesh second paragraph, uvaze yetzuras >> Now [snorts] we can ask the obvious question. How is it possible to command mitzvot of the emunah of being a mitzvah? How could you command to have an emotion or to have a belief? Great question. Same shaila. 100% It's going to be a different answer, but it's the same shaila. How could the Torah say, how could the Torah command an emotion? So the Torah doesn't command emotions. Some of the Torah does. The Torah commands you to get to the gym. That's what it does. 100%. Emunah already exists within you. Emunah If emunah didn't exist within me, then I can understand maybe like okay, now you have to develop this thing called emunah. No. You It's already in you. It's already in all of us. All you got to do is stop hitting snoozes and shake yourself up. What was Matisyahu's song? >> Shake off the dust. >> Shake up, thank you. What you got to do? Yeah. Shake off the dust, arise, right? >> [clears throat] >> Remove the blanket. Take the blanket off. You know, we're going into the winter, so it's going to get cozier and cozier, right? Well, last year, the year before, it was it was we had other things waking us up in the middle of the night. Chalilah, we should never have to have that. Let's If we wake If we take off the blanket when it's supposed to take come off, all of us together with such emunah shleima, our oyevim have nothing on us. We know this already. >> says [snorts] Moshe's hands had emunah. >> By his hands had emunah. >> Yeah, but how do your hands have emunah? Because it's action. It's not just up here. The hands are above the head. >> I mean, it's great that we have this for for for helping us, but start a bracha with someone in emunah. Just start something. Just don't don't think too much. Right now. Right after sheer. Say, let's let's start learning half hour a week emunah together. And the ones that are learning online, find someone. Just right now. Get them. Why not? It's the best the best time is right now. Tuesday night Huh? >> Tuesday night after 9:00 p.m. shot in Mar. >> Shalom Bitachon. >> Yeah. >> And for those that doesn't work for them cuz maybe it doesn't work for everybody. I'm not sure how but whatever it is. The the the Anash is telling us, remember, it it's not something you have to you figure out how to get. You already have it. You got it through yerusha. You have emunah. I feel bad for uh What was Aish's program? Discovery, right? Because he's saying over here then you don't have to base it any you don't have to base the emunah on proofs. the proofs uh >> shouldn't be an intellectual >> I mean, I the Judaism program though has actually transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands, but he's saying that he's saying there's a there's a there's a way to get that that should just strengthen that person that already has it. But to base it on proof, you're missing the point. You're basing >> Sometimes you need to >> [cough] >> But I think it's to base it on that which you already have. >> Yeah, proof that >> Mhm. It's true. It's not Yeah. The Kotsker Rebbe said, "I would never ever want to worship a God that I can understand." >> [snorts] >> But I do but I do agree that once it's there, I'll I'll live. Then to go Then afterwards to build on that, I I think it's good out. I would do it. of your your yerusha. Yeah. But that's the thing, does it draw from chochma or not? No, no. I'm No, I'm talking about the these the the proof stuff. Yeah. I mean, because I could prove I mean, you could you could also disprove a lot of things if you really wanted to. So, that's why it doesn't It only works to a certain extent. But the the point that he's drilling home here is that you already have it. It came up in in the in the women's shear on Thursday morning. We quoted Akiva. What is this song that he has? I forgot it now. I forgot it now. About that that that that you have Huh? You already You got it as an inheritance. And also like it's good for our anava. You didn't do anything to get it. You just exist, you know? You You come into this world. You didn't really do anything to get it. So, just you tell me like, "Wow, this is amazing, but now the shaila is and then what and what do I do with it now? Now that I have it. Like we were saying before, this is actually problematic when it's proof based. Besides the legal stuff, who is the Benei Yissachar? Huh? The dinner with what was his name? It's Zvi Elimelech. He's a talmid of? That's really too much. He's a talmid of the Chozeh of Lublin. Who has faith in Kabbalah? Like you could go proof or not proof, you're not going to get to the place that you already have. Who does he sound like over here in this paragraph? Which rabbi does he sound like? >> Sounds like Tanya. >> Uh it was very much from the Baal HaTanya. It's all based on Perek Yud Chet. In the Baal HaTanya. To me this last piece sounded like Rav Nachman when he was warning warning us of staying away from from uh what he called machakrim. Machakrim, yeah. He's saying philosophers' wisdom does not come from ain soph. It comes from soph, meaning it comes from it's limited. It comes from it's it's a structure. It has a beginning. And Khali he says if that's where you're going with your emuna, it may Khali have an end. But when it comes from ain soph, Let's just Khokhmah is baruch. This emuna never ends. It's not a thing that like now I've come to the conclusion. It's this infinite infinite infinite never-ending journey. The old nuskha mina. Bottom. The old nuskha mina miza. She amuna miza the Khali what's another thing that we could learn out from the fact that you and I have something in us naturally that we did we did nothing. We did nothing to get. It just exists naturally. >> [snorts] >> She ain't lead bubble Muhammad bin Muhammad she ain't Muhammad bin Muhammad Adam. But we could just say not he says this very easily. >> [laughter] >> It sounds much more simple than than in practicality. But he says and he we don't get confused from swikas and emuna that the puts into us sometimes. We can see that on them. What does that mean? >> Distract. >> You get just distract yourself from it. He ain't Muhammad Khali. Cuz they're not real. The Arabic Muhammad bin Muhammad Adam. He's saying if you know that you have this thing called emuna inside of you, then when a bill bill comes to you when a confusion comes to you and the and Kenny is right there again, then what could you do? >> Ignore it. >> Based on what? He's saying If you have emuna of philosophy and Muhammad, you can't ignore it because it's a like a bar plukta. It's like this is an this is an actual voice that I have to listen to. But if I'm not coming from there, I look at you and I say, "You're cute." You know, you're cute. Very cute. Shalom aleichem. Or tzeischem l'shalom, I would say. We're not the shalom. Tzeischem l'gehenom, you know. Tzeischem l'gehenom. Or k'mo shekolso b'Tanya, last page, shekol adam This is the end of perek chof tes, kol adam shenoflim lo machshavos sfeikos al emunah Remember this. Like if you please we should all remember this. Any person that's thoughts of doubts on emunah come onto a person heim divrei ruach shtus ach l'vadah, just call it out for what it is. This is sitra achra. Hamagbiha atzma al nafsho, for some reason it got access to you. And it's overpowering you. But it's that this is the sitra achra. Aval Yisrael atzman hein ma'aminim bnei ma'aminim. V'gam ha'sitra achra im na'atzma ein lo sfeikos klal b'emunah. He's saying even the sitra achra I mean this is mamesh the mashal of the zonah that Alter Rebbe also brings up. Who does the sitra achra work for? Rebono shel oilam. The sitra achra has total emunah. So it's almost like saying like it would be a mind game to do this, but to start battling with the sitra achra and saying, "Oh my god, you're so strong. [clears throat] You're so persuasive. I wish I had emunah like you. I wish I had emunah like you in my shlichus in this world, you know." And before you know it you need like really like tight heightened sense of imagery and development of imagination with something like this. Before you know it the sitra achra comes and gives you a hug and says "My job is done." "My job is done. I'm I'm out of here." Yeah, I mean for for now. But there's a there's a Right, there's a kamei funeral and then there's a this amazing, you know. >> The government You were 2 years old. And uh I was hired to perform in Acapulco. For Hanukkah, Shabbat Hanukkah. Motzei Shabbat. And the people and the Jews in Mexico. And I started to play and a Jew comes to me and says, "Please, can you sing Ani Ma'amin?" >> [clears throat] >> And I start to sing and I'm looking at this man and he's starting to cry and cry and cry. Please. I came to him after the performance and I said Lama? Why you were crying? And he when he what he told me, he said, "I was one of 10 survivors in Buchenwald. And when the Americans they came to Leshakhrir we stood up and we sang Ani Ma'amin." And [snorts] I looked at him and I said, "I know you. You live in Manhattan." I'm telling you the truth. Can Do live in the Street? He's a giant. Do you go to Rabbi Besser Shul in 84th Street? There's Steibler. Rabbi uh uh >> Katzkel >> Katzkel Besser. Yeah. I am your neighbor. So, he looks at me and I and I realize that he is he survived [snorts] this this uh genome of >> [clears throat] >> the Shoah. And he built up himself with chocolate bar time. >> Mhm. >> You remember chocolate bar time? >> As in what time? Yeah. He's also a survivor of the book. >> [snorts] >> But >> Maybe they know each other. >> Nothing else only to sing Anim Amin. Bemuna Sheleima. >> And so >> Mamash. >> Shvim avi, shvim mami. Sorry. Mamash. How could she do such a thing? >> [laughter] >> I keep them coming. >> Yeah. >> Wow. If he's in the the the these these stories the truth is sometimes sometimes they really depress us because it's like and we're kvetching over, you know, like like what what what what's our billable, you know? What's our billable, you know? This What say what was his billable versus our billable, but that's not a good thing to do either because we're in a different world. Everything's a different context of the world today than the sitra achra comes in different shapes and forms in every door. But it definitely didn't beat him. At all. Didn't confuse him. Doesn't mean his life was good or anything, but it didn't it didn't touch him. It didn't touch that place. So, just to end off the paragraph start at the bottom line of the gemara sitra achra atzma ain lo safek klal be'emuna. It's just that what? Ach she'nitan la'reshut levalbel et ha'adam bedivrei sheker u'mirma. So, why Why did he get the permission to confuse us so much if it works for Hashem? Like why? Why? This is from the Tanya. Ad kan divrei Rav Kadoshim. What does that mean? K'dei l'harbot s'charo I I learned this on two ways. One is Yeah. One is k'dei l'harbot s'charo are s'chaim that you know that this Oh wow, we we we we accomplished this. But it's But it's also feels like so that the And it's really cuz of the mashal of the of the prostitute that the Alter Rebbe brings in the beginning earlier in the Tanya that um they get reward for their fulfilling of their shlichus, right? But what does that mean fulfilling of their shlichus? That they tempted the person to a to an extent, but that they were that somehow through that the person overcame their temptation and then then then then everything and then and then like the s'char goes to both of them because they fulfilled their shlichus properly. So in a weird way it's like that the the sitra achra has such a such a koach over us, but it wants to But it But it has emunah shleimah as well that they're doing it's doing its job, whatever this means. It's a wacky thing to think about, but whatever this means. So I think the what what what what the strongest thing for us as a yesod of chassidus in in at this shlav is that there was a sign on the door to the entrance of the Beis Medrash of the Maggid of Mezritch. And up here one of the eidus that I that I read is that it said on it, "We're not here to give you something that you don't already have." Or we're not here to teach you something you don't already know. Mashu kazei. And all all that Beis Medrash was doing is making you get conscious and aware of what they already have. What we have is a yerusha. What's tavua ba'al habayis yerusha? In better terms, it changes me. If I know I already have this, I don't have to create it. It's not a yesh me ayin. It's a yesh me yesh. It's not a yesh me ayin. It's not a How do they say it in ex It's not that. It's not that. It's a If I If I know I already have it, so I just I I'm more I'm more encouraged to say yalla yalla, let's develop it. Let's develop it, you know. Let's develop it. And all of us have that. Each and every one of us have this, and we have to believe this. The munash thing, we just got to spend more time talking about it. Dibbuk chaverim, sichos chaverim, limud, all these things, they all amount to a place that we actually are proud inheritors, and we know what our inheritance is. And that's the greatest gift we can give on to our kinderlach b'ezras Hashem. L'chaim.
