Der Rebbe Redt Tzu Kinder — 20 Av

so tonight is khof menachem of the york site of the rebbe's father being that it's the hilula the yard site so we're doing a special sikha in dereberetsekinder which is based on the rebbe's talk to siva's hashem khof menachem of tafshin mem tess the rabbis said several secrets to the children and this is one of them let's uh just jump in it's a very long circle if he relative to compared to the typical length of these uh derebrezza kinder circus and we're not going to cover all of it we'll do some of it inside and then i'll summarize the rest outside okay so let's just jump in from them it's known that the entire life of the alula the rebbe's father was limited rabbit defines his father's entire life as being limited silence both learning for himself as well as spreading out tater to other jews a filo in a tustan funsakanus nafashis even in a situation where doing so was literally life-threatening even those who are only cursorily aware of the rabbi's father's biography know that he had incredible courage and defied the the communist regime even under the most harrowing circumstances the rebbe is more specific now in toyota itself he was especially devoted to what what we call the inner dimension of tata or sometimes we call it the soul of tata oon in igla de tera and uniting the hidden part of tata with the revealed part of tata der pashita fundivretera which what does it mean the revealed part of twitter means the literal or plain meaning the simple meaning of the words of tata so the rabbi establishes here who was his father his father was all about torah and what specifically about pedo learning for himself and teaching others even when doing so was life-threatening literally he put his life at risk and we know what happened to them his father and he was sent him to gullis and that's where he passed away and the rabbit says that he passed away before his time because of the the suffering that he underwent precisely because he was a teacher of title and the rabbit says that that that his father was specifically devoted to learning the inner dimensions of trader that his father was a makubal a scholar of kabbalah and uh also in uniting the kabbalistic with the legalistic what what the rabbi calls the the pasha taich the the simple meaning of tata and what we're going to do here is actually an example of something that's a simple literal teaching from the mishnah a legal ruling and that is going to bring out the hidden soul of that teaching deriver is passage therefore it is appropriate as in them funds and your site zominderman funding toyotas fun we're going to mention on the your site very very briefly one of the teachings of the one whose your excited is on one of the mishnayis that's learned on the day of a yacht site everyone uh probably has noticed at the end of the siddha there are mishnayas which are typically learned for a york site these are mishnays from mcvoice and there's the famous last mishna which the rabbi is about to mention is the one that the cousin who's davening because of your site will say that paragraph out loud we mentioned that is speaking to children the rabbi also spoke to adults that day khaf but this particular gathering was children now when it comes to speaking to children surely you would mention one would think to mention that it's father's yard sight and maybe even tell them a story about the rebbe's father but here's the thing to teach them a teaching of the rabbi's father that's that's a kiddush that's novel and and i'll tell you why because the rebbe's father's toyota is known for being very very challenging it is full of kabbalistic references it goes very rapidly there are multiple associations and levels on every line and it's very dense there's just a lot of there are a lot of layers going on and it's difficult to study to the extent that even when the lakute levitzhak came out and was published when they were able to put together some of the the writings that either from letters that the that his father had sent to the rabbi or from manuscripts of the rabbits and khanna was able to to get out of russia it was known that this is this is very challenging material and really only in the past few years because of certain sydney who made it a uh an occupation who really threw themselves into it people started to to learn to have his father's toyota more but generally speaking that eva's father's toyota was known as being very very erudite and esoteric and all that stuff to the extent that even in the time when the rabbi's father was around in uh dunyapa petrovsk it was known that not not everything that of his father said was necessarily were people going to understand to the extent that there's a story that once that of his father was speaking in shul and uh this story reached us through somebody who was actually present who was uh absalom valencian who was there the rabbi's father was teaching and people couldn't follow people couldn't follow all the the kabbalistic references and you know just like i said layers upon layers and moving very rapidly and uh that his father paused and he said it doesn't seem like anybody here understands what i'm saying and then the rabbi's father pointed to the back of the room and he said but that jingle that boy there airfashtate who was that jingle it was the rabbit so the rebbe's father was such a teacher whose teachings at least some time were only understood by that jingle by the rabbit himself that's the kind of teacher that we're talking about somebody who was only at least at times was only understood by the rabbit so to say that we're going to take that teacher's teachings and explain it to children like i said that itself is a kiddish and yet the rabbit insisted that it be done and and and i'll tell you something else there was an event that was made for the kailua ferris one of the items on the program was that someone was going to say divreitera and i actually asked uh menachem gurlitsky who was the one who sent in the program to the rabbit who was the one who said that he said it was a scholar garden anyways that i haven't made one note on that program that it should be dvar malhouse words of royalty of his father that ever circled his father's name at the top of the program and indicated that varmouth of his father ha moving that will be understood to all of those assembled so on one hand that ebb is emphasizing hey you know make sure that it's understood because it's very uh likely that you could say over something from there's father and it would totally go over or go over everyone's head so i and on one hand that i'm saying hey make sure that it's understood meaning it it's very likely it wouldn't be understood at the same time what is that ever saying they'll be saying hey it can be understood it can be understood um it can be and it must be and and who were the people who were in this uh you know ferris kingdom live yitzchak they were you know a lot of them were old russian jews and they didn't necessarily even you know understand other things in tata let alone deep deep deep deep kabbalah and yet insisted that it has to be understood and now here we see in this gathering that i was taking it even further that it has to be understood by children and to me the idea that that ebb is insisting that it be understood by children i can't help this is again this is siddhi shah geshem that this is this is just my own connection that i'm making okay for whatever it's worth or whatever it's worth i can't help but be but to think about the fact that when the rebbe's father himself was teaching and he didn't think other people understood he said it's okay because that boy understands meaning my son my child my child understands and the rabbit i guess inherited that from his father to be able to insist that even if everybody doesn't to understand everyone else doesn't understand but my son understands treble was able to insist that his children that his son can understand these teachings and for whatever it's worth also what was the teaching we happened to know what it was that that ebb's father was teaching at that particular event that absalom vlankan says he remembers that have his father saying only that jingle understands i'm not sure why you know how it came up but he was teaching about mikveh and he said that a mikveh is i'll pick a bola mikveh a line of what a line of you know uh little of nothingness and when he explained in mikveh is kav ma then he said nobody understands oh but that boy understands so i got i i don't know if there's a connection at all but this particular teaching is about mikvy and that i was insisting that the children can understand not only can the children understand but look what we're going to explain this teaching in such a way that it will be understood even by children but that's not enough even more and then even as a villain cannon an uplan first of all the rabbi is saying that they're going to be able to understand it understand that his father's kabbalah they're going to be able to understand and furthermore not only they'll be able to understand it they'll be able to understand it in such a way they'll be able to apply it they'll be able to take from it a teaching okay so that's the second quidditch the third thing is whatever says they're going to be able to apply it in order to do to do what of zion to increase nagmir even more in allah even when the rabbit demands from us the rabbi reminds us how much we've accomplished already so he's saying that the children they're doing so much already and now this is going to help them to do even more that itself that's the one lesson in hindi we learned from this whole secret that when you command when you demand something from somebody and you and you want more from them tell them how much they're already doing okay and then the and then the fourth kiddish is that it's sai by zikh and also saitsu often with the eden in zerarum so it's not just for yourself it's to affect others which trevor said this about his father at the very beginning of this that his father's life was toyota not just learning tater for himself but to spread tighter to others and that was saying the same thing to us that we're going to increase in our own yiddish kite and also in our influence on others okay so just in in that little setup it's four major life-changing ideas all right now let's go into the teaching so there's a needle that's sitting on the steps of a cave that there's a mikvah in the cave and you don't want to lose the needle if you toive on the needle you could lose it in the water so what do you do you put it on the steps you put it on the top step of the mikvah where the water is but the water is not up to the step so it's like on a dry step and then what do you do you you're my little navy you move the water you like kids you know push water around when they're in the pool you push the water and you make a gall a wave and then the water comes and washes over the needle and then what's the did so you know the the needle is now together the needle is now ritually pure and can be used in a ritually pure state okay so that's that's the mission this is the muscle for them in there what is the lesson in how a jew can serve hashem that you can take from this mishnah that ebba said that his father was all about connecting panimya satyara with the simple pasha to taichavata so here you have a mishna a simple legal ruling not hard to understand what's you know there's a needle there's steps there's a cave there's water okay very simple but now what does it mean for us innovative is was m what's a needle for a needle is for sewing two things together so they become one thing zumba spill for example then menville the heften a tale for clade via an arbol marshall to a ganzer clade so let's say you want to attach a piece of of of of the garment to the rest of the garment for instance a sleeve nightmare it's vey talin suzamin metanado you you sew the two pieces together with a needle we as a nightmare face ahn's is almond so how do you sew two things together freya dartmouth so the first thing you have to do is you have to poke through one of the things with the with the tip with the hard point of the needle in them in satan's then you pull through the string which is on the back end of the needle and then for them behave to zamin bay the and then the string that you're pulling through with the needle makes the two pieces of cloth into one cloth and leg there too is the arbitrage of the this is similar to the job the mission of every jew in the world is mistakes is to connect all of the physical things in the world to hashem so what are we doing we're sewing life is all about sewing sowing is to connect two things together till they become one life is all about sewing to connect the physicality of the world to hashem so we're always sowing that's what life's all about sowing tsumbai spill for example in the eleventh an acclaim yiddish kind and here's an example that applies to a little child a little jewish child a dereman asked other trint before you eat a drink you have to make a bracha even a little simple drink of water you say this grandiose pronouncement of everything was created through his word you recognize the fact that everything in the world including this drink of water was created by hashem um and through that recognition you connect that water to hashem you recognize that this water is hashem's water so the child makes the brach on the water he's sowing he's connecting two things together until two things become one the physical water really is hashem's water he connects it to hashem by making the brach on the water as the vassar is so when he calls attention to the fact and reveals that the water doesn't exist on its own when he makes that pronouncement that the water is not ontologically independent it doesn't exist for itself through that pronouncement that shahakal nearby on the water farbin he connects that water to its creator the creator of the of the world and that is an act of sewing the truth is just the fact that the jewish child knows before that he make before he drinks water he has to make a brach that itself that knowledge itself causes all water in the entire world to belong to hashem so it's not just the water that he drinks and it's not just making the bracha on the water it's all the water in the world and it's just knowing that if he were to drink water he would make a brach on that water so that little jewish child's knowledge that that is the reality makes that connection it's interesting you know sort of like quantum physics that the conscious observer determines the reality because on one hand what difference does it make if anybody knows right who cares it's if it's the truth then our knowledge of it doesn't make it so and our lack of knowledge doesn't make it not so and yet it is important the knowledge is important so the fact that hashem made all the water okay that's one thing but the fact that a jewish child knows that hashem made the water that's what truly connects the water to hashem and makes the world and its creator one thing uber mele vena yiddish kind which look at this picture look at the painting that i was painting so now a little jewish child who was taught that you have to make shahaka before you drink water he passes by a river and he sees the river and he thinks about the fact that this water was made by hashem just this little child observing this river consciously observing the river is dossa lane cooking just his looking at the water this index is knowing that the water was created by hashem farbin that causes a connection between the water that hashem made and hashem who made the water even though non-jews children and adults are all they're also walking by so this is a very important lesson as well another what difference does it make if one person knows the truth especially one little child knows the truth look at all the people around me who don't know the truth that ever says doesn't matter yeah people are walking by they have no idea what's going on they see the river they see a river they don't see that it's a creation of hashem they don't know the river was made by hashem and that the world and the and then the hashem who made the world are one thing they don't know how to it's okay don't be affected by the fact that the rest of the world doesn't see what you see the fact that you do see it makes it so so these people are walking by oh this feeling garnet they don't know anything and they don't they don't feel anything it's but the truth is the jewish child just by looking at the water and having this awareness has caused a connection between the water and and hashem let me do there's more to this i'll just summarize outside but it doesn't end doesn't end so then the dab explains one of the things a needle has to have is a sharp point so it can poke a hole in one of the things that it's connecting so when we're connecting gasmius with the creator of the gas mias you have to be stark you have to be tough you have to have courage you have to be fierce and poke through the gashmias okay don't be afraid of it and then after you poke through it right you have this this kassidish disregard for physicality it's like nishna spoiled right but then after you do that you don't discard the belt no no the belt is precious it's it's a dirt of a tactitum what do you do then it's so interesting the the the the moving the shifting the the paradox and one and on one end you're this sharp needle you're poking through the world and the other at the very same moment just like the needle after it pokes through the through the thing that it's sewing then it pulls the string through what's the string sitsis is a string and sitsis is weighed equal to all mixes so all mitzvahs in a certain way are a string so what does it mean after you finish poking through the world meaning not being intimidated by the world then you bring a string through the world means you connect the world to a mitzvah so the first thing is i don't care about the world heck i laugh at the world but then you don't discard the world then after you finish showing who's boss then you bring a string through the world you lift up the world you consecrate it you make it holy you turn the world into into an object of a mitzvah and then that ever continues even okay then we have to look at the way that the the needle becomes purified or even before that why the needle was need in need of purification why didn't why did the needle need to be purified in the first place because sewing is connecting the physicality of the world to its creator but here's the thing in order to do that that episode you can't sit in the basa mikdash or in your shalam or an artistro you have to go into gullis where there's not you know it's not spiritually clean but in order to do your job of sewing you're going to have to expose yourself to the big scary world and it could happen that the needle will become not taller anymore but don't worry because we know how to make it taller again and plus on top of that what do you have to know that even when you go down into the gullis to make it you know to do your sewing to do your work so the gullis is like a cave that ever says the cave is like the gullis but where are you in the cave you're on the top step of the cave so you don't go all the way deep down into the gullies and get pulled into it no even when you're in the gullets doing your schlichkas you're on the top step right by the exit so you're higher and you're ready to go out and you're near the you're near the entrance of the cave or the exit as it were in that case so you can get out of it you're bare it's like the paradox again it's like you're in the world but like just almost not in the world you're going out of your comfort zone but you're not getting comf but you're not changing your comfort zone that the belt itself should become the comfort zone such deep stuff and then it doesn't finish it doesn't finish okay then what else do you have to know that in order if the one when the mach does become inevitably you know it could happen it can become not taller so how do you make it to her with the water what's the water the mei das taher like the rambam says teda when you learn theta and ever says every single day you have to have a sheer toyota and every day you have to hazard about and this will purify the market that needs purification because it was doing its job of sowing and being in the world and doing its schlitz and it goes it does i'm telling you it doesn't even end there there's one more i'll tell you one last thing then that eva gives another muscle to the water it's interesting it's not not a contradiction actually but because before we're talking about the waters being the maid das taher which purifies but also you could say the waters like the rabbit doesn't use the term mimes doing them but you know sometimes the idea of water of a mobile like the the is is i mean children don't have tear there's a parnosa but my aim can be the flood the the mainayak which are like disruption in life so the never says you're in godless and there's going to be disruption he says however you should know like this even just a little wave you just make a little gal just a little wave washes over you just a little bit of stress from gullis and your yates are already that's enough that's enough you don't have to have the whole tidal wave the whole tsunami just a little wave and you already are yates from that whole indian and you can go straight into gaola anyway we are so lucky we are so lucky that our father told us what his father told us and not just what his father told him but that our father told it to us in the way that his father told it to him and looks at us the way that his father looked at him ashley mctv and uh we have to tell the kids who they are who have to tell the kids who they are that's it unbelievable another incredible incredible share
