Rebbe is more here now than during his lifetime! Zohar says this - Igeres HaKodesh 27a- RC Dalfin

so good day we're learning beginning AES sacred letters 27 on page 2 290 towards the bottom of the page this letter was prominent since DBA wrote it in 1778 but it gained so much more prominence since the the rebba passed away on giml Tomos 1994 because it is this letter and the explanation which is like the second part of the letter that gives us an understanding of the role of a sadic after his passing and this is always important for any and all sikim especially for our because he didn't leave over any physical children yet all of those that follow in his teachings are his spiritual children find Solace and guidance through understanding this letter so this letter isn't just another letter Ines today it's become kind of a last will in Testament for our situation for so if someone asks you you want to understand better how do you relate to the to the re post his passing the answer is study this letter well and discuss it with a mashia a teacher and you'll uh should find a path that is helpful to you so let's begin the the small words are the introduction to the letter this is what the Al wrote to the Dwellers of the Holy Land to console them double theia for salvation alas for their loss of har the the rabbi the the genius the the the person who is popular is elim a godly man holy his light shines of the mouth of God the rabbi theen this is a reference to RAB menel of VP or some call him of both are true they're both cities they're in Russia and he was for a while in one city and then another city so he's he's one of the same person the same he authored the saer H called which is available maybe it's even translate in English I don't know where he sh I have it you have it where he shares teachings and insights based on what he received from his teacher the mag of M and the bov so he together with r of kalis who's kind of the Father Figure of today's SL because his student was the the holy leicher and the SL come from leich so in a sense the kis is the father figure of the anyway today's so they both made Aliyah 1777 unfortunately or maybe fortunately it was Divine Providence that Rael who was on the older side passed away one year later in 1778 so this was a great a great tragedy at the same time it was an opportunity for writing this letter so simply the AL is writing the letter in the introduction it says to the the dweller of but theba points out that the there's more to the letter that was not included as I told you in the past Ines we have the full letter in the Al's letters and it was written actually to people in Russia former or of and writes this letter to them and encouraging them to continue giving to the Charities of okay so let's learn inside but I I said earlier it's much it's much greater than just about SED it's really about what is aad this is the this is the letter in that defines what a sadic is and what a sadic leaves the world after his physical passing and this letter and chapter 2 in the first section of T are the two citations where the concept of aad according to the balat is explained okay so let's let's learn inside my beloved friend my beloved brothers and Friends a that I with My Soul bear my soul in my in my love for you and for and for the may God rest upon you God rests upon you everlasting life and their offsprings are with them a plantation of Truth these are quotes from partial verses and and and slogans sayings not slogans but sayings which denote closeness and warmth and and and continuation of a special message continuing they are blessed by God from now and forever shom that's the acronym after exchanging regards as is proper to those that love the name of hasem I come to speak to the heart of the Brokenhearted those that are sighing and are kind of shattered from the loss of their re and sadic re upon his passing and I do this with the intent that the salvation and solution will be twice as good listen my e my ear hear hears the call V and if you will pay attention to it you will comprehend my message that will console you twice as much and it's based on Al here Begins the AL his his consolation the sages say the person who passes away leaves life to all the living now before you continue this is a very problematic state statement of a person who passes away aad who passes away he doesn't leave life he's no longer alive so what does it mean he leaves life to all the living he doesn't leave anything he's passed on that's what bothers the AL with this statement let's see what he says his answer is that this statement is in fact right and a sadic after he passes away imuses those that relate to that sadic with life because you need to understand Al says what is the to what is the content of aad and that is the of a is aad lives with his his physical life is his faith in God number two the second thing that sadic lives with is the fear of God for life that is the true life of a sadic the offer God that he has and number three the third element of a sadic with a burning fire shall he of a flame is his love his love for Hashem is palpable and that is the life which incorporates the life of his spirit and his soul call all the days of his being on Earth when the time comes when hem takes the spirit and the soul of this sadic to himself a love at that time it is gathered and it ascends higher and higher ad to the most exalted levels are all gathered back to Hashem and the the that that aspect this what the Ala describes is the real life of a sadic is then reinvested in those living the spirit of his behavior act action when one follows the directives of that s those actions that he did in the past in a way amongst this is the impact of a for life for all those living this is a reference to all living creatures so in other words the answer in in a nutshell what he said in the last three four lines is the question was thead is passed on Al says the body is passed on but the body of a sadic is not what you're identifying with and if you are yeah you're making a big mistake he doesn't say these words I'm paraphrasing H you're you're Rel to the am to the and to the AA of thead that's what makes him AIC if you're relating to him because of hisus his pedigree forget it my friends he might have great pedigree but that doesn't make him a sadic okay we have plenty of great great grandchildren of holy sikim and they're far from a sadik so why do we why did we when he was alive relate to this sadic because of his faith in God his off for God his love for hasem says the and all of this is after his life is only strengthened in other words in simple English aad aad is a life of spirituality you it the our view of a sadic requires a spiritual view if it if it if it's only a physical view we're in deep trouble and better said we don't have a sadic we might think we have a sadic but we don't have that sadic as our real life because the sadic is a is spiritual and if you relate to the sadic based on the physical you don't it's apples and oranges not apples and apples that's what he says here and he says the paa the behavior and actions of the tadic he leaves those things over to all living creatures those that binds with their soul with thick rope of abundant love and everlasting love never to be budged a person who wants this true life to attach thems to to attach himself to God so he says you want to attach to God attach yourself to God's servant and then you will be bound with the the the knot the of of Life AEM isem god with the life and the spirit of the of the of the that's breathe into the nostrils that we say with his Shadow we shall live amongst the Nations that the leaves for us each and every one of us based on our connection that we bind ourselves to the with truth and thead and the love is a love of truth that's pure is coming from the depth of a person in the Deep heart because him for water for a person's face reflected on water when a person looks into the water the water reflects the face so too when we have a feeling of deep love for the sadic and deep connection and we do what the sadic wants it reciprocates automatically that is connected to us and and the spirit brings the spirit and draws down the and the spirit stands within us in actuality because when he sees his children are doing the the sanctifying God's name which is heightened and holfi that when we will follow in the proper path which we have been instructed from the ways of the we shall go in the in the path for for for eternity so again a lot a lot of words but the concept is very very important and rather straightforward the life of a is Faith a and love inem and AA that's what he said here when you identify with that and then you develop you the partitioner the the one who wants to have the relationship with this sadic that sadic reciprocates with that feeling to you this doesn't require according to what it says here based on on on the teachings as we'll see later from the zes this does not require a physical sadic and this is a very very revolutionary thought because you ask your average today for sure but even way back how can I be a without of a living re I'm not going into now the particulars of bre and kabad not I don't want to talking about the general concept so first of all you see here that that's not the case doesn't doesn't say here that the sadic has to be alive for you to make connect yourself to the sadic if you come to a place that you realize that this person is all about faith a and love the is the spiritual and it's the real path to Hashem and you identify with that then then that feeling becomes the reality for you in your life but he'll explain that a little further let's continue now here he he the next part is where he talks about the that I mentioned this is what's written in the Holy Z quote thead the spad who passes away is is found in all worlds very important word more from from during his lifetime that sadic is found more in this world now than than than when he was alive also in this physical world Hill you want to ask something cuz you unmuted yourself yeah yeah um just uh I wanted to sort of contemplate that concept for a moment to just say he's found in all the world's B because he's no longer limited to the body which is tendered to this world yes let he's going to say it inside look yeah but that's correct he says what do is now explaining the citation of the Z that even in this physical world where action is what talks philosophies and theories in this world means nada nothing you got to do right so the so seemingly AB in this world he's no longer here he passed away nevertheless comes the Z and teaches that he's found even more so in other words if if we were to say listen to this that where is he found more in the spiritual worlds I understand he's left his body he's in a spiritual State and in the spiritual Realms he's there but that's not what the Zoya says the zya is saying that he's found even more now on Earth in the world we of action than he was before during his lifetime lifetime wow what a startling statement that's what it says so the AL explains because the actions that he did and that we do are great and they keep on growing and growing from the light that the sadic planted when he was alive in the field mean what he did on Earth and God blesses is that Plantation of the that illuminates the earth and the outside so we too who are who are alive after today after his passing we all continue living through his ways they are called ways of Holiness so the ala's answer is that the spirituality of the sadic that we identified before as Faith awe and love Express themself during his lifetime in action right because if your faith and if your awe and love is in the Ethereal world or you know it it's meaningless the sadic you used his and and to by doing things here therefore if we continue doing th those things of the sadic here we have the sadik so in other words if someone asks where is the sadic more in in in in ghen in the spiritual worlds or on Earth says the AL based on the those are the key words to to memorize that the sadic after he spotted after he passes on he is found more so here why because this is the world of action in in in in the world of spirituality Celestial beings Souls it's all very nice and good it has not but it's not the world of action the world of action is the embodiment of the sadik you hear that the embodiment of the sadic is not the world of ghen the world of ganen is a Fascination it's a very nice place you know it's like you go to a spa or you go to to a vacation but that's not where you are that's something you do just to excite yourself to to to breathe to air out to chill out very nice but that's not who you you are and and look let's look at ourselves we go to family out of town we travel we go to conferences but at the end of the day you come back to where you are every day that's where you are that's where it counts everything else is a nice vacation a nice Fascination a nice thrill and mind you it's necessary from time to time it's necessary so you don't become stale so that gives you that that high okay that gives you that come on let's move on but if that becomes your lifestyle you're in the wrong Court you're you completely reversing the the roles the EMS the truth that's what the AL says here let's continue turn your page if you're using this t says this statement of the Z is true regarding Heavenly matters and regarding Earthly matters the he says it's also true that on Earth we have more than sad after post his passing there before because it says in the Alma sadik protect the world of and in their death when they pass on more than when they're alive and if not for the prayers of thead in that world the world as we have it now would not exist even for one minute concludes that whoever is close becoming closer to thead in the way that we described being that the sad is close to the tent of hem so the the the and the follower receives that closeness in his life before is is is had precedence when it comes I think to blessing the idea being that when we follow and we go in the of aad and particularly the sadik that we relate to and this is important today not yesterday not a year ago but in 2025 T he and hey other today it's important why first of all what you what we learned here what we learned here if anyone has a a Ka a complaint why do you identify with a dead sad you tell him you know you haven't learned to and it's quoting thees it's not a complaint on on on on on those that believe in a sadic was passed on but the the complaint is on Z you quot there quotes from The Z here that's number one but be that as a May the whole idea of sad is I say this I've been saying this since Kim thas for sure since the passed away 30 years ago 31 years ago almost that if if one thinks that one identified to the B because of his smarts that's a big fool a big fool yes theab was very smart and he was AO on and on but that's not what makes him a sadic the whole G of a sadic the whole issue of a sadic isn't that he's a good lawyer and a good doctor a good social worker it gives you best the best advice and you should know and I've said this many times those that identify with any sadic on that level are going to have disappointments and they're not real okay because as soon as the you feel that sadic didn't give me this or didn't answer me or didn't smile at me get away from me I'm going to find another sadic then then it's like you know like any of us you know if we're not nice we don't smile we don't this that I don't want to be your friend leave me alone you understand so the whole institution of of sadic is Rus so if it comes to Rus even if the physicality is is is in in one's opinion lacking or not there who cares you don't understand Ras that's the V now this this takes belief but it also takes inab other words studying the life of a sadic learning the teachings ofad you canot identify with a sadic I I I told you this in the past I repeat it cuz coming up p i remember I came to someone here in bar Park like 25 years ago on por to bring him sh someone who he and I had a shear and I was startled I saw his table uh whole beautiful table set up for sudas pum with candles and then a chair an empty chair and and some books and I asked him what what's what's this and he said this is my re so I said your rebba is coming no my Reb is not my Reb is not coming he's here I said who is your rebba the holy the great sad thear so I said what do you know about the what what he said I learned seriously the kabar and the to and I identify with the command and to me he's alive and sudas put him so he's he's here now you tell this to your average forget about aak you tell this to your average C don't think you need to see a doctor you know take your pills you know but the truth is as we learned now if you understand this message in this igas he's right he's right but you have to you have to invest in that you have to learn the of the if you want to be the and so with so you know so of course wouldn't it be so much nicer if you could see alab today or or the it would be nicer for mysh my my my would be happier you know but the truth is it's not necessary it's not necessary and if it is necessary it's for technical reasons which I don't want to go into you know a person wants to get a br from a physical mouth okay there are certain things but the the the the the the cresendo over here the cresendo the is so you'll ask so why was he alive before because they wants us to have aad alive and then aad passes away and then the people ask the question so why Etc go to go to you know what the answer is go but I didn't know I knew so I identify with him someone else knew identif you understand but if someone says my is I'll ask him what do you know about and if he isn't a him I don't mean the words the concept the ideas he's not living with the spir the message of D David is not his rebi DAV is a nice guy me is very nice you know so we have to we have to start we have to change the way we think think this is was so programmed with all of the learning and all of the that are going on in the communities today this nuda I find is lacking by the best of us okay this nuda and and unfortunately it's become like it's become like not even discussed not even Tau you know everyone's running to and they're running here and they're running there where you running where you running if you learned R's Torah and you know his T and it draws you and it talks to you I understand listen to go to a sadik's Cav is always a good thing here we're talking about you know the concept of getting the BR from that sadic post his life to help you that's a whole different story that doesn't come from eating potato chips it it just doesn't it comes from learning the sadik's very well meditating on the sadik's to and then developing a love for that sadic to the point where when it comes PM your sadic is sitting there and it's real for him it's real for me it's not I'm not AAR even if I learned some of thear for him but I'm not is right I didn't connect my soul to the Comm you understand so here we're talking about and that's why the next section which we'll learn tomorrow is so important with the AL gives a kind of explanation on the words of the Z it's so important to understand that this is a it's on on one hand it's a faith experience at the same time it's an intellectual experience and the two go together if you know how to synthesize them and when you when you learn and you look at the greater picture then you you you you come to this point listen I see this just in my Shool I have a Shool with people who never saw the re you know the young the youngsters wearing and it's amazing these guys are so so laage they run on Friday to put on filling with Jews okay they learn cus deep cidus of the rashab they they have shur and and it's like they didn't grow inab up in kabad like I did they didn't go TOA all all their life like I did where are they getting this from and the answer is they open open up theim and they're learning theim and they're debating it and they're talking to elders and and that's why some of them when when you know when I sit down and another person who's older and we start reminiscing about things from the bage they they cover they they CR they Crouch around us and they listen they listen they want cuz they didn't get this in their life they went to this Yeshiva that Yeshiva and that's the way the system of trans transmission of information from generation to generation is where younger and younger Jews are to listen to the elders who share information that they help that they heard from their Elders this is the Auda this of this chapter and uh please you know rethink it shabas is coming relearn it because it really really is so important to the connection between Aid in particular and a Reb again any Reb I'm making it clear it's not just the the you understand and and if you're if you don't have this then it's it's all you know it's it's it's nice it's nice no and what happens when that ever passes away so it's like you know people after giml said why don't you appoint another so I said you have a you have a broom you have a broom at home yeah I have a broom tell me does a broom shoot like a like a rifle no how do you expect a broom to shoot a broom doesn't shoot you either are a rifle or you're a broom a reab isn't a broom okay just appointing someone by by by buying a broom here you become the re for us it don't work but there are others that do it that way and they just keep on hey hey hey and they build up and and God blessed them and they're doing very well they're doing very well but in the it doesn't work that way and that's why 30 30 almost 31 years later we do not have have another physical rebba because if you understand this you don't need another physical Reb if the Reb would have appointed another Reba and we believe that he is a servant of God and his words are the words of Hashem Etc then there would be another physical rebba but he didn't do that and then there are those that argue well did the previous do I I don't want to go into that now that's for bring in for another time have a great day see you all tomorrow take care bye bye bye bye yeah to you byebye
