now we're finishing our seventh letter with hashem's help uh tonight's letter is a short letter but a very rich letter and before we jump into the letter itself we're going to do what we did uh couple of nights ago we gave a little I used the K pushka app because as theba mentioned in the letter that we learned on Wednesday night that the best gift that you can give to debba is learning together with daa so we're learning right now we're learning the letters and that's our preparation not only our preparation for Yol niss but it's a gift in honor of theb for for Yol Nissen and we couple that with some Saka as well and so we'll do a little stalker make sure I have my ringer on I always have it off what maybe didn't turn it on here there you go and give another one okay if you want to see what it looks like I don't I don't think you can really see what that looks like but that's what it looks like fun fun okay and and you can get the kabad pushka app uh at the link in the description

and turn on alerts and then every time I go live with another Shear it'll just notify you and it'll be so easy okay I made a earlier let's jump into tonight's letter like I said a short letter but a rich letter and this is an IG Volume 8 letter base Shin base which is brookly this is from the 28th of Tavis which would be the winter of 1954 U it's written to a woman BR of Shala means to a woman like we've explained before what else do we know not much but let's read on there's no here uh other information was redacted as well and that's common in the Eis that uh depending on how personal the letter was certain information sometime is withheld I'm hereby acknowledging receipt of your letter from in which you write regarding your position at dot dot dot that means redacted okay that information wasn't shared from the context of the letter it seems it was probably the name of a school because it seems that she was in the field of education and she lost that position probably a teaching job um that's what it seems from Context and now you are left without a job or without a position okay so basically a woman wrote to the rebba that she lost her position probably a teaching position and um she's writing for some type of support advice blessing okay so that de's response like I said again like this is a very short letter but a very rich letter and if you don't unpack it slowly you could you could miss it and I want to thank my friend Ley shamov who is like the the main mover and Shaker at least for me the main mover and Shaker of this project uh he's the one who gets me to do this every day um he's the one who tipped me off about how to crack the code of this letter and all of this is uh this is just what do you call it students free translation over here we're just making stuff up and uh everyone's free to to to disagree okay I'll read the exact words of the de's letter I'll translate it as Faithfully as I can I'm going to add some interpretation it may or may not be correct interpretation and that's fine that's you know that's what we do over here we try to glean Insight from these letters okay V so she just lost her teaching position she probably feels you know sad about it so the deba responds in basically three different paragraphs and each paragraph does something distinct V life doesn't always go in a straight path what do they say uh growth is not always linear right okay since a person's desire and ability is to ascend that itself creates the possibility of descent you can't have ascents without descents I mean that's just the nature of things that sometimes you're going to go up sometimes you're going to go down if things are in flux if things are Dynamic then there are going to be es and flows and there's just going to be movement and in the end you know there'll be a net gain you'll come out ahead in the end if you wait it out long enough you know like the stock market goes up it goes down but if you keep your money there and don't touch it for long enough you you come out ahead right but that's the nature of life that you you want and you are able to ascend which means you're not static you're not just going to play it safe and stay where you're at okay so when there's growth part of growth like a a natural part of growth the way the world works is that there are dips and and you come back from those and and and you experience a net gain after the The Comeback but you do temporarily have to go through certain setbacks okay um the spoiled so don't get shaken by the don't get nervous from this to become despondent about this God forbid when you have a like again the rebba says this is just the nature of life we we go through dips that's part of growth it's part of growth okay okay so till now that I was saying in general life is about growth and growth entails sometimes temporary setbacks just part of it so that's in general now that de says meaning more particular to your situation first thing your particular urita that you had is was only material you lost your job and me God forbid it could have been a spiritual descent now even a spiritual descent you come back from and you have the special advantage of which is a beautiful thing but in the in the grand scheme of things when you're going through the Ura it's not as big of a deal if you're going through a material you read what did you lose you lost you lost Financial Security basically is what the saying sounds like like to me and even more specifically the matter is not dependent on you or rather not dep the matter is not dependent upon her uh meaning to say you're not in control anyways so it's it's a Ura that there's nothing you can do about anyways so just you know get through it get past it and and eventually you'll be at a place where you will have experienced a net gain and and that's it that's really all there is to it it's just part of life it's part of life okay so that's the first paragraph now that it goes deeper and you could feel it if you if you listen and you go slowly you could feel the tone go to a deeper level and to the contrary you know that's like a pivot word so theb just said don't worry about it it's it's natural it's it's part of life you go through these sense and in order to eventually come to Greater asense it's just part of growth don't worry about okay now it's not only don't worry about it it's embrace it now embrace it embrace it Embrace what okay this descent The Descent when you go through a tough phase in life it will arouse deeper power Powers more inner powers and deeper Powers so more inner powers of am of faith and trust in hem and deeper powers of of faith and trust in Hashem and what you know those are very abstract Concepts deep inner faith and trust what does that look like how do you express that um so it's out W expression it's when you show courage and resilience in the face of an unpleasant experience especially because it's really only temporary so embrace it while it's happening it's not fun to go through it the rebba calls it an unpleasant experience the re is acknowledging it's unpleasant but going through this unpleasant experience will actually put you at a higher level spiritually which would then you will Express emotionally as a certain form of resilience and and and bravery and and courage so really you're gaining from this experience right so let's contrast this the first paragraph says don't worry about it it's part of life growth is not linear there are dips and then there are comebacks and you just take them all together and that's put it all together and that's called growth the second paragraph is not only don't worry about it but embrace it welcome it treasure it cherish it it's not fun yeah it's unpleasant the E calls it unpleasant but these dark moments are when something inside of you is summoned call it the you know from the we don't have a porm cotton this year but today is today was the porm mulish so we have a little of a connection there the cus Lamar the crushed for the for the luminary that like the olive when it gets squeezed then the the the the olive oil comes out which becomes fuel for the lamp which creates light and that's basically what the Reb is saying here now it's very interesting because and now I'm talking about one of the themes of that mimer is Ry Mahna what is Ry Mahna Ry Mahna is well has two meanings one is the faithful Shepherd he's a very reliable Shepherd he's very faithful in his job does his duty but it it could also mean a shepherd of Faith what's a shepherd of Faith well a Shepherd simple Shepherd means the guy who makes sure that all the Sheep get their needs met specifically that they're eating they're drinking they're eating a shepherd of faith is a Jewish leader not just any Jewish leader but a specific role of Jewish leader Mori being one example being another example who sees to it that every individual member of the nation is being nourished with faith because faith is something that can remain abstract we call that he's a gun of the thief is digging a tunnel to go steal and he davens oh Hashem let me be successful in my stealing well if if you have so much Faith why why are you stealing Hashem said don't steal so clearly you don't have faith Faith ah but he's stopping the Davin he must have faith so how do you explain that contradiction well he does have faith but it's in the abstract it's enough to get him to Davin but it's not enough to feel that he can relax and completely rely on Hashem to make his parosa in a in a in a Kosher Way so amuna can remain in the abstract can remain what we call like sort of encompassing you so comes the and uh help helps us to get that Faith out of the abstract and to integrate it into not just our our SE so that our brains work in alignment with our faith but into our emotions and even to our gut physiologically your body just feels at ease because of your faith it's not anymore a uh abstract idea a Doctrine an idea um you know written on a poster on the wall it's literally in your bones you feel a different type of Tranquility because of this Faith okay so for that we need a shepher of faith and that is the role of a and a what we call in the the extension of so that's the role of aab it's interesting so I got to give credit to my friend Le who was like the main driver behind at least for me personally getting me to do these classes every day um he pointed this out to me that the first paragraph is that EBA as a teacher a teacher hey this is the nature of life let me inform you you didn't know that life is like this I'm going to teach you life is like this there are ups and downs and you got to go through the downs and then you'll experience the ups and it'll all be okay don't get nervous that's a teacher the second level though and it's a deeper level is the is the shepherd of Faith where the rebba then takes this experience and uses it as an opportunity for this woman the letter writer to get in touch with a deeper place within herself a deeper level of connection to Hashem a deeper God consciousness so you and it has to go in that order specifically because it's like first I'm informing you it's it's going to be fine don't worry about it like that's the nature of life okay fine that's regular information then we can go deeper we're going to say now let's lean into it let's gain something from this not just that if you'll go through it at the end you'll come out ahead but even in the darkness you can gain because specifically the darkness itself is what's going to stir within within you something deeper okay there's still another uh paragraph here so where are we going to go now we're going to go to a third level and uh I would say the third level is an even deeper level if level two was deeper than level one then level three is deeper than level two and they're also in a necessary order as well that two had to come after one three has to come after one and two okay what's three I'll let you think about it the first level was a teacher teaching you about life second level was Shepherd of faith I'm helping you to integrate your experience in a way that will bring you closer to Hashem three three maybe you'll think about what you would call this level I've written to individuals involved in the field of education and it's my hope that within a short time they'll be able to arrange something for you if you will take an active role in cooperating got to do your part but I made a few calls for you and I am uh taking care of it taking care of it for you so what what might you call that level I think that again I give credit to Le sham for pointing this out to me but I think that's called a father hey kid I took care of it I made some calls for you that's called the father now it has to spec and it has to specifically go in that that order cuz if that ever would start the letter and say but I made some calls I took care of it then it sort of undercuts the power of the first two levels it has to go in that order first level is hey ups and downs are part of life weather the storm you'll get through it okay you got to tell the person that first you can't take away the problem and say it's all solved it's all fixed you got to let them at least for you know for 30 seconds as long as it takes to read from paragraph 1 to paragraph two to paragraph three you got to give them at least a few few seconds to absorb that truth that yeah okay sometimes life is tough and this is a tough time and then it'll be okay so that was paragraph one paragraph two is okay now actually we're going to use out this negative experience as a as a as a an opportunity for greater Faith all right and still you still have to feel it as a negative experience so you're not going to dig deep and you're not going to get in touch with that deeper faith and then after after she does that the ne say oh by the way I'm taking care of it for you like a t like a father I'm taking care of it for you okay but it has to go in that order and it also is is in order I think in levels of depth that you have the teacher rabenu is Renu our teacher and then RNA the The Shepherd of faith and then the deepest level I mean you could you could argue is that EB is our father you have a problem I made I made a few calls I used some of my uh connections for you and what what what father doesn't do that when his children are hurting of course you use connections to help your kids that you would never use to help yourself um with blessings oh maybe you could say this is even a fourth level the Reb gives bras as a as aad with with blessings for success in your holy work specifically in the field of kosher education B in the name of the mazia this was signed by a secretary okay that is our letter for tonight like I said very short but very rich there's a lot there to think about uh we'll see you God willing tomorrow night
