Strengthening the Bond Between G-D (Groom) & The Jewish People (Bride). Kabbalah by Rabbi Minkowicz

welcome to our class on siddhis we're going to be learning a beautiful hasidic discourse in the river the name of the hasidic discourse is called the ata sava the rebbe said this hasidic discourse on the night leading into thursday in the week of partial sava which that year was zion other the seventh day of the month of adar in the year tough shin meme 37 years ago so again the acidic discourse is based on the verse and the torah portion where it begins and it says the saba and you mushroom should command the jewish people they should bring to you olive oil which should be pure for lighting the manure and the verse says snare tummy that should be the light should burn steady we're here in the oil muay the tenth meeting and then it says that arrow and hakoye should be the one that would set up the menorah and to burn from evening to the morning in front of hashem so ever said it's known the questions that are asked from the different hasidic discourses from the hasidic rebellion over the years know since the mitzvah is as the torah says clearly who's the one that sets up the manure iron sets up the mineral so why was the command that we should bring the oil to moisture because we have to bring it to moisture why tonight should bring it directly to iron machine that's question number one also we have to understand what does it say it says the artist that saba spinay israel that moisture banana should command the jewish people you know it says it doesn't say who but we know it's referring to moisture bainu but the question is the whole terror was given through moisture of anu moisture brain is one that instructed us all the midsoles so why does it have to point down say the after you and again referring to moisture they know that he's the one to command the jewish people and especially like we pointed out before that this was more a mitsubish has to do with iron iron is one of the little manure so again so why is it the act that's referring to specifically to moisture better also another question if you look in the verse what does it say they should bring it to moisture banu and he's going to bring up lahala's near tumid that the candle is going to burn forever steady but on the other hand the second verse when refers to iron it says may arav had breaker from the evening to the morning why the difference when moisture being noticed near tummy to steady burning and by iron it says from the evening to the morning so rabbit says to understand this it's going to be understood based on important and a foundational kabbalistic idea and that is that the ultimate spiritual service that we have is to make a strong unified connection between us and hashem in other words we are here for one purpose one purpose only to establish a strong and unified connection with hashem why is that because hashem and the jewish people is just like an analogy would be like a bride and a groom just like by a hustler and a kala bride and a groom you want the relationship to be strong so the same thing also our relation with hashem hashem is considered the groom we're considered the bride so you want that the relationship be very very strong and therefore based on this foundation that again it's all about making that strong relation between us and hashem just like a hustler in color so therefore just like when it comes to a hustle and kala a bride and a groom literally so when they go to the wedding so we know there's something which is called the the um the um yiddish or in english the escorts or in hebrew it's called and as what in other words you why do you need an escort but since the hussain is coming from his world the khala is coming from her world so you have the bridesmaids and the groom the groom's mans that come and bring bring the groom to the bride and bring the bride to the groom in other words so what is this in hebrew it's called so the shrine in the unterfer or the uh the the um the escort of the hassan is called in hebrew it's called sushvina the malka it means it's the escort from the king so to speak which there that job of the sashimi is to bring the hassan the groom to the bride then you have the of the of the kala which basically brings the bride to the groom so in the world of kabbalah it's called sushvino de meteronisa which their job is to bring the kala to the costume to create that union so the same thing also just like physically you have the bridesmaids and the the best man for the best men for the for the for the groom so the same thing also between the jewish people and god in our relationship and our marriage we have some sort of speakers the groom and we are the bride so we also have the the escorts that bring god closer to us and then you have the shashvanim of the bride which is after martineza that bring us closer to hashem what who is that who are the escorts that unify the relationship between the jewish people and god and god and the jewish people so mushroom is known to be the shrine of the malka moisture brain is the one that escorts god that brings god closer to the jewish people and aaron on the other hand he is the shashville theresa his job is to bring us the jewish people the color the the bride closer to hashem so once we have that as a spiritual back trap so let's get it clear before we go into it a little deeper so in other words the goal is to create the union between god and the jewish people and and why is that because it's a relationship so just like in a relationship you need people to escort the bride you need people to escort the groom so in this case also moisture abandons is is is bringing hashem closer to the jewish people so to speak from a spiritually high place down to a physically lower place and ira's job is to elevate us to a higher place so based on this river explains beautifully this whole idea these verses about the maneuver and he says like this what does it say by arrowing it says when you elevate the candles now what does that mean candles are just physical candles but we also know the spiritual clan candles what are the spiritual candles so the spiritual candles candle hebrews near a candle is referring to the shamans yesterday referring to the jewish people what is it based on because the verse says clearly the candle of hashem is the soul of human beings so we are these we are the candles so aaron's job is to elevate us arnold schamus us as a candle to hashem and specifically like it says what is he elevating about neyros he's elevating the candles of the candelabra like the altar explains that length in the cote d'ivoire and pascal that the seven candles of the manure is referring to the different types and the different levels of the souls so iron's job is to elevate the soul but now it's all naira is plural and like the alternative term all the different types of souls the seven types of souls so irene's a spiritual job is to elevate the souls to elevate on the shomoys and bring us closer to hashem why is that aaron's job because we said before aaron is trustworthy he is the escort of the of the bride to elevate the the bride and to bring the bride referring to the jewish people to the groom which is hashem now that's on a spiritual level and that's a job of iron what does that mean practically us what is what is aaron inspiring with us to do so it's not like irons is bringing us he's inspiring us to be elevated and come close to hashem how do we become closer to hashem on the level of the bride so to speak ella being elevated to the groom spiritually that's referring to this spiritual service of prayer why because when a person prays what do we do during prayer sometimes we say the words and we meditate but the whole idea of prayer is to elevate our physical body and leave the physical world and leave the materialistic world and come closer to hashem like it says in reference to prayer the famous uh verse in the term reference from yaakov yaakov was sleeping at night and he dreamed so it says sula mutsavar so there was a ladder that the feet were on the ground and the head was on high and he saw angels going up and up and down which referring to spiritually that's referring to the idea of prayer prayer is where the feet are on the ground we are on this physical world and we elevate ourselves up higher and higher to hashem so that is what our represents i represents to elevate and bring the bride to the groomer in other words inspire us that we should go ahead and pray and elevate ourselves through prayer and therefore we become ready to have a deeper and more meaningful and appropriate relationship with ourselves what is moisture of anger's job moisture bainu is suspended his spiritual job is to bring hashem closer to the jewish people and notice he's bringing the hassan he's bringing the groom to the bride which means practically he's bringing hashem to the jewish people and that's why what do we know what's moisture mainly known for he was the one that's one of mount sinai and he's the one that brought us the torah why did he bring us the torah because we all know it says torah and hashem is the same thing so by bringing us us the torah he brought us hashem to us so when he has when moisture banana brought the torah down to the jewish people what did it mean practically he was literally bringing hashem to us he was bringing the groom so to speak to the bride now that's what moisture man did what does that mean practically on a spiritual level how do we bring the the the groom to the bride how do we bring hashem to us that's when we learn torah why because when you learn torah on a spiritual level that's drawing down the powerful light of hashem the powerful light of us of torah into our spirit on into our lives and like the verse says hashem says hashem spoke to us from heaven and as it says the verse says the words of hashem are like fire in other words what does that mean it's like fire fire usually goes up but nevertheless the fire of torah came down to this world as assumptions like terror is not meant to be learned on a spiritual level it's high it's torah teres hashem but the goal is to bring down that powerful torah the powerful light of hashem into this world so that's the two components of moisture and iron iron is the one that brings us up closer to hashem and practically we do it through prayer and moisture urbanus on the brings hashem closer to us and practically it's done through the idea of terror that moisture and brothers turn when we learn torah we're connecting to that part of hashem so based on this rabbi explains beautifully the verse and he says again what does it say in the verse we have to bring um the olive oil to moisture avenue so that the candles will burn steady in the 10th of meeting and then iron is the one that sets it up from the evening to the morning what is it so what does that mean practically it's referring to the two different components as we already learned before of torah which that's moisture veiner's jaw to bring us the torah and filo which that's our avodah to transform itself and come closer to hashem and here you see the way it plays out in the verse why what does the verse say what do we bring to moisture we bring to moisture the olive oil the pure olive oil that's crushed for lighting in other words we bring him the olive oil that's crushed for lighting and when does it light steady always now what do we know now what is that referring to what is what's the connection with moisture may know moisture is connected to the torah so there ever since it's is referring to like they have torah therefore we have to bring it to who if it's torah terror comes from hashem through maestro bano so therefore torah we bring to maestro now that's why when it refers to the oil which is referring to with torah it says we should bring it to maestro vayner because moisture bainu is the shrine of the mountain he's the one that brings hashem closer to us through torah but on the other hand when something the one that sets up the monarchy that works on setting it up what is that referring to prayer and that's why who's the one that sets up the monarch that's referring to iran iron is the one that sets it up because he's the shasmina he's the one that works on the lower level and inspiring us to do our work and again practice we learned before that's the idea of prayer now based on this right explaining something beautiful and he says as follows what we just learned semen zios the oil the pure oil which is to br give off light what is that referring to referring to learning toyota so but in order to have the oil the olive oil what does the taurus say you need to be cast you have to crush the olive to bring the oil in order to have the oil which is represented which represents the idea of learning torah first the olives have to be crushed why does it have to be crushed because in order to really learn torah and to connect to the fact that it's terrorist hashem and to benefit from the light of the torah a person has to be go through a spiritual process of causes of being crushed not in a physical way god forbid but on a spiritual way which is the idea of what in hebrew it's called bitter by humbling oneself and like the verse says when now she can offer the cultia that my soul is like earth in front of everybody in other words once i'm able to be off i'm able to have humility then then you'll open up my heart to learn torah so knows as introduction to be able to benefit from the powerful light of torah it has to be caused islam we have to practice humility and the greater humility the more our heart will be open and to receive the torah and like we see it says clearly in reference to moisture radio itself what does it say in the prophets zikru toyras remember the torah of moisture i know we see as we know mushrooms connecting the torah but what is moist what's her name what's your name is um title abdi my servant why servant because moisture made in order to be a real student of torah to receive the torah and give us the torah he had to be an evid which means he had to be someone that's totally humbled because specifically through humility that's how you become a vehicle for learning torah if you want to be able to really get what terry is saying you want to connect to the torah and more importantly the light of the terror as an introduction there has to be the idea of causes there has to be the idea of brittle there has to be the idea of humility and that's why the taurus has clearly caused islam it has to be crushed humbled to be the source of light why because i when you think about an olive and you think about oil how do you get olive oil from the olive the olive gets obliterated if you have an olive and you don't crush it how are you getting oil in order to get the oil out you have to crush the olive so what does that mean you take the olive and you crush it you totally it it's gone the olive is not there anymore you crush so much and the oil comes out so in other words it literally gets obliterated in hebrew it's called bitable macias it's totally humbled where it's non-existent or how much more so at least the the the physical part the brittle yes the physical part of the owl gets destroyed up to the point where it's cusses it's totally crushed and rubber brings from the talmud where it says in reference to the idea of idolatry and you want to get rid of idolatry because susie message sure has to be crushed where it doesn't even have any any any any um dimension of the of the size that it could be considered um something that exists so if you want to be able to have oil you have to crush the olive the same thing also you want to be able to learn torah and be connected to the light of terror a person has to practice and experience the idea of bitter humility and then you'll be able to connect it to the two power or the true power of torah that's one component whoever goes on a step further than he says as follows if you give a look an olive on its own is very very bitter an olive on its own is bitter and like derek brings from the from the famous story in the in the beginning of of uh of the hamish where um when they when nayak sent out the dove from the from the from the ark so he brought back an olive branch and he and the rashi brings the commentary says that he says that my um my food should be bitter like an olive but it should be coming from hashem so we see clearly that an olive is bitter and rashi brings this in beginning beginning of the interview about the story about new york so one thing we see about an olive what's an olive and olive is bitter also it's brought down in the talmud that when a person eats olives plain olives you can literally forget you're learning of up to 70 years so you see olives are bitter and it causes you for the gu to forget olives on its own so but nevertheless when you go ahead and you take that olive that a is bitter and will cause you to forget and you crush it what do you get out of there you get literally olive oil and not only do you get all oil which is for light but it actually creates a source of light so look at this you have an olive which is bitter and of course you forget but by crushing it it becomes a source of light the same thing also if we want to be connected to learning torah and the light of terror we have to work on our bittle we have to work on our humility and then we'll be able to have the great the don't be then we'll be able to have the greatest benefit from the greatest power that terror has to offer why is that because in a person practices bitter when a person practices humility up to the level of causes our whole ego gets obliterated then what happens is you know what comes in that place where we get obliterated we create the vacuum tiger comes in there and terror comes in a way literally it's called lamanta god's terror comes within us but as long as we're not breaking our ego where's it going so we have to break our ego break ourselves we have to create the causes but don't be afraid because in that area where you're going to create customs where you're going to create humility what's going to come in there mill my little amateur the tire the weights on high is going to come to that empty space so it's not going to be empty it's actually filled with something much more valuable in other words so when a person doesn't have to totally obliterate themselves the person remains the person you remain who you are we're living in this physical world what we crush is the ego part it's not that we have to go have some kind of spiritual ecstasy out of our body we literally stay where we are but we humble ourselves and by humbling ourselves the torah comes to us where we are in other words the place where we are because we're humbled we literally draw in the most powerful light so it was like this it's important the verbs bring a very important point not gotham that we have to be obliterated not that we have to give up anything in this world we remain who we are where we are we're giving up as the ego we're giving up and the more we give up the ego the more we're bringing in the powerful light of the torah and that's why when it comes to the component of the kostus which means becoming humble which brings in the light of torah what does it say we're going to bring up lahala so we're going to elevate we're going to bring the light near tumid a consistent light an everlasting light why why is it everlasting and the answer is because when you're drawing torah when you're drawing the light of torah you're drawing in from a power which is infinite higher than time and that's why it says narrative and it's gonna be consistent if you bring in tyrion to your life the light's gonna be on forever not just from the evening to the morning always and as we know derby says that tyra doesn't have any limits of time you can learn return by night by day non-stop you can we're supposed to learn torah 24 7. as we know that the obligation to learn terrorism when 24 7. we have exemptions we have to work we take up our family other responsibilities but other than that the obligation will interest 24 7 because terror is not limited to time and space but and and the beauty of terry because it's not limited 24 7 we can learn terry but we have to be humble first and we're humble first we bring in the powerful light of toto but what does it say afterwards after we bring in the lighter terry was let's say aaron is the one that sets up the sets up the candelabra from the evening to the morning why is that why do you switch because as we learned before when aaron is referring to preparing us that we should transform ourselves in this world and that's referring how do we do that through prayer and we know that prayer is not where you're bringing a light like the turtle into this world you're actually elevating yourself it's called melamata miley you're elevating your physical self in other words just like a fire which which um by nature it goes on high like so like doctor explains in in in tanya in other words why is the fire going high because the fire and the oil that are in the candle they totally get got obliterated and they go on highway because you're transforming the physical world so aaron's avoiding is because he's referring to the idea of a prayer and when it comes to prayer it's much more work and wherever it brings out there are three different components that take place when you pray just to recap real quick when you're learning you have to do one thing you have to be humbled and then the powerful light of terror comes within you and that's 24 7. when it comes to prayer it's a whole different process what's the process of prayer explaining like there are three components one is the torah says aaron has to appear the candelabra what does that mean practically so we know when you pray you can't just walk in and praying it doesn't work that way you're looking to stop praying you're your mind's all over the place so the first thing you have to do you have to meditate you have to get your thoughts organized you have to prepare yourself so yarick means you have to prepare for prayer you can't just walk on getting ready to pray you we know for example physically you put out your clot you put on a jacket if you're you some people wear a garthel a sash around themselves you wash your hands you meditate you get your thoughts together ya requisite when it comes to prayer the first step is you have to prepare for prayer that's component number one what is the second thing that says in reference to prayer and it was in reference to ya'arra in preparing the minor which is referring to the idea of prayer it says you have to elevate it what does elevate mean you elevate from elevate from physically down here on a spiritual heart it means you have to start preparing your your physical uh the physical space you're in the physical body the physical world you're in you have to elevate the world we're running around we get connected to the world so you have to disconnect a little bit from the world that's the second thing what's the third component in prayer beitivo yes in other words it's not that you get you ready and you just you get disconnected and then boom you leave this world no no but bring it down you got to bring the light of prayer into this world so in other words prayer requires three things just to recap number one is you got to prepare you got to meditate you got to get yourself ready number one number two is you have to elevate yourself out of this world and number three you have to bring you bring back the light of prayer into this world that's why it's just those three components so that's why job explains it says in reference to lighting the miner it says me erev boiker from evening to the morning what does it mean for me this is what doesn't mean from evening time there's a process there's an evening and there's a morning and you go from evening to the morning why because in prayer there's different levels there's again this first meditation they have to attract then you have to get the elevate the physical place and you got to bring it back down into this world etc and generally speaking there's an idea of erev evening and this idea of biker morning what does that mean erev knows error means where it's dark that means you're elevating the physical and bringing it onto a higher a high level and breaker means now you're bringing that back down into this world you're bringing it down um down to the physical world and uh there ever says this is also we see practically when it comes to prayer we know that for example we mentioned before terror when do you learn terror 24 7. pray or you don't you don't pray 24 7. the obligation to pray is not constant just like when you learn torah but they are the obligation of praise in the evening and the morning like we find by the sacrifices that there was the evening sacrifice that was brought every day and the morning sacrifice that was brought every day and the prayers are in place of the sacrifices so you have the evening sacrifice the morning sacrifice and you also have the afternoon sacrifices but there are set times to pray but and that's why it begins so that and that basis explains why he starts off with moisture where it says that we should bring the shaman to which bring the oil to my tribe and as before aaron does the avodah of prayer the first thing is learning to her why because the first thing you need is you need first through the malka you first you need the escort of the king which is referring to hashem referring to limited torah before shashvila trianissa which is referring to our work and our prayer why because the practically true nervous is very simple you want to pray we all want to pray but in order to pray you have to learn torah you have to know how to pray what you're praying so terror comes before prayer practically in others because in order to know how to pray you have to learn the laws of prayer when to pray how to pray where to pray what to pray and so on and so forth but when a person learns and you learn how to pray then you can pray appropriately so that's why it first says you should bring it to moisture of anu because my supreme represents torah once we have torah then we can go over and do the avoider of a prayer and then and then even in the prayer as we mentioned for the three levels just preparing yourself this meditation this elevating yourself out from the world that is bringing the light back into the world etc so it starts off with idea of prayer and then you go from torah and then you go into the idea of prayer and based on this where explains now another beautiful part of the verse was the over what does the verse open up and it says the ata sabha and you're gonna command and again it doesn't spell moisture remain in his name but we know it's referring to moisture baino why we asked why moisture they know and everybody explains like this generally speaking it's known any time we want to do anything spiritual work we want to work on ourselves you want to become close to hashem whether it's learning to pray or any time we want to create a relationship we want to do anything uh in terms of our relation with hashem we need to have in hebrew it's called shemaya you need help from hashem true we can put in all our effort without hashem's help we're not going to get too far so anytime we want to do anything we need seattle ishmael we need alpha mushroom and that's why he says the atar you must remember you're going to command the jewish people why because before even the details of the work of the of the of the uh of the groom and the work of the bride you know there's the escort of the of the groom and the escort of the bride learning torah and praying etc you need to have the power the energy from hashem and that's why it says the attacker what is the top i mean you're going to command and you're going to connect moisture radio's first job is to give us that siata to connect us hashem in other words a moisturizer's job is to connect the hassan and the kala to connect the bride to connect the groom to create that union and he's going to do it both ways and then you're able to go through all the pr all the process and all the details et cetera and what does that mean specifically the the specific connection so you can explain like this so the first thing is we have to have my chance to remain cast to create the connection but then it says we're going to go into more specific what is what is the deep the connection so what does it say well the first word is so the references in the word the atta you have both components well how do you have both components because the art is made up of the vove which is one component and we'll explain what that is and the word atta so viata you have the v which represents something we'll see in one second and you have after which represents something else and i can support that in many places and say this as follows the letter of represents the malka represents the king why because it represents the the six middles valve is six which represents khasidwar the pharisees that's how you saw it which the six figures called the zero in the small face which represents the male energy represents the hassan the the groom energy and that and the word atta is referring to the um the level of metronos referring to them to the queen malhos so the in the word viator the vote represents zor the sixth meadows the zeram pim and after presents malthus in the viata you already have the union between male and female hustle and color now the fact that hassan and khala the volvo and the otto which was that marcus literally is in the same world word so in other words you see it's literally the union of za the zero amp in the small face of six meters and marcus and this union that's so literally tied up in one word is in a way of titsava where you where you're commanding but you're actually connecting in a very very deep way because it's totally complete it's not like it's two words you're unifying it's literally within one word you're the unification is taking place in the one word you have both components of the male and the female and like it's explained that land represents in the in the acidic discourse of eight trying which is represents idea of zohan malcolm's in general and this is also on a practical level this idea of the higher level of the union um which is usually which high level union between kharmabina and the lower level of union teams are in malchus never finish over any saturday follows it should be the will of hashem that through our spiritual work of creating the union of learning terror which means you're bringing down the costumes of the color bringing down the powerful light of terror into this world and filo we're elevating the world zone malchus and literally waits in the word of the has both the the connection between which is basically the connection of the two trees the tree of life toyota is the tree of life and the tree of good and bad which is referring to mitchell is referring to this world and like it's explained represent lands in the country by by basically doing creating this union again of zhan malchus toy runfield and kala shaman the jewish people we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna very very soon and very quickly we're going to come to the ultimate union and the complete union and the complete wedding and it's going to be done in a way that's going to be everlasting and it's going to happen very very soon and very very quickly and moisture is going to be here who represents the khasi and torah aaron is going to be here represents prayer and our spiritual work and we're going to bring all the sacrifices like the myths for the way hashem wants us to do it and how much more so the idea of mitzvah the candle of doing all the mitzvoth and specifically the nair the candles of the manure which is going to be the basement the the candles the mishkan and the mgdosh the vase ming dash the first place to make dust and the second and literally very very soon and very very uh quickly we're going to have the candles of the third base of megdus which will happen very very soon in hero of the amenu mamas very soon and very very quickly um obviously in our days and let's talk a hope that the next class we will all be together in jerusalem again i always say is it's a very very powerful discourse such a whole new whole new dimension a whole new light of the idea of after salva literally we're able to bring in the torah within us by as we learned through the with the proper bitter through the proper prayer through the the tools that we learned but ultimately as we create that powerful union of betwee between asana baruch who will merit as rabbi says ultimately the greatest union of mashiach have a great and blessed week shavua tov
