Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Sec 3 Chap. 1 Teshuva - Is creating a loving relationship with G-D

welcome to tonight's panel class today is a very very special day as today is your task enslaved the 19th day of the month of Kislev and tonight today was the 19th we're going into the 22 right between the 19th and 20th slave and this day is special for two reasons one is it's the anniversary of the passing of the magnet of Mezrich who's the second mystical Habad leader we know the first was about sham dog and the second was the maggot of marriage so today's anniversary is passing and secondly is because on the 19th of kiss slayed the alte Rebbe was freed from prison he wasn't in prison for anything that people go to prison in America he's a priority around the world he was put to prison for teaching Judaism spreading Judaism when I was forbidden at that time now he was freed because obviously they weren't there was nothing technically against him but more important as he said the reason why he went the prison wasn't a physical prison it was more even though technically it was was more spiritual war against teaching and spreading the wall Springs of kabbalah and mysticism to the masses obviously he felt that once it was he was released it means from heaven they allowed him to be released so you can continue on teaching the Habad mysticism to the masses now because it's the day of celebration of the alter rebbe so it's appropriate to study his teachings the study Tonia and many other things but the point is that we thank God here in Fort Myers have a weakness fear and Tanya so we're connected every single week but what's really really nice is that tonight Jesus Chris Slade we are starting to study the third section of Tonia so we studied the first section Lakota in Maryland we started the second section which read of Spanish re-echoed Emunah and tonight we are starting to study a brand new section of time in the third section called in Garrett Hakuba Garrett's constant word of idea of a letter hachoo ver about repentance and there's 12 chapters there's 12 chapters we do a chapter a week approximately we do four after week and tonight we have studying the first chapter against the Trula on you that's chrysalis isn't that a great way to celebrate you this crystalline what better way than to connect to the Arthur Evie by studying his teachings on the day of his liberation which obviously only underscores how how important the liberation was good if not we wouldn't have this gift and we all know from sunny and Tanya over the last has been I think we're in two years approximately how much has really helped each and every one of us in our lives right then in a beautiful big way we're happy every cause of it right yes the more peaceful because of it right more insightful more joyful we're closer to God better religion of a God so I mean this is like thank you the alter rebbe right they're giving us a tremendous beautiful gift which is actually essentially it's a little book but in this book a lot of treasures okay so we're going to start tonight with talking about chapter one in against a true book and interestingly enough that chuhwa is translated English translated English meaning you lose a lot with the translation as repentance now generally speaking when you hear of truth our repentance what are you here someone did something wrong and then we have to repent it almost has like a what's the right turn a negative impact or negative flair or negative connotation oh my gosh think about it like punishment once I can you're jumping but it has it has an initial Inc inkling of right punishment he did something wrong bad right and they may be becoming a bad boy a good boy all that stuff right but here the author introduces the Kabbalistic view and approach to chuva and it's really phenomenal really it's out of the box with the altar basically shows us signing in this chapter and all throughout the 12 chapters up against each other that true ver is really about creating a loving relationship with God now wow you took a word of Trueba which I did something wrong I'm returning I repenting right no no the officers know true lives not about that I mean it might be about that in a simple level but really what truth is about creating a loving datian ship with god that's what truth is Wow so now when you hear the word true ver what do you hear creating a loving relationship with God that isn't that more inviting isn't that more promising isn't that more loving right Israelis make it one word there you go exactly Trueba so chuva is creating a loving relationship with God which interesting is talking this making these rails making it one word so trubiz weren't words but actually chuva is made up of two words what is it made up of two words Tasha hey Tasha viz to return the hey what's the hey so interestingly enough that the alter rebbe thought was a big teacher and novel ideas both in the world of niggler which is the revealed part of the Torah and both in the world of kasi dude which is the concealed part of the Torah needle inconsiderate now in the world of Nicola the alter rebbe actually wrote a show tomorrow which means he went through all the Mishnah and the Talmud and commentaries and all the insights and he came up with a systematic Halak guide how to lead your life from the morning until you go to sleep all throughout the week all throughout the month all throughout the the the you know the life cycles of the year and Shabab and holidays and so on and so forth now the rewrote encoded the Jewish law now um the coroner Jewish law has in general four sections to it what are the four sections in the code of the Jewish law so the first section is called in Hebrew I'll translate or a high in how to live your life do they day-to-day living Shabbat holidays that's all is basically in the life of the Jew how to live how to live a life and it's actually important if you're Jewish and if you want to connect more to God do you want to study the laws of our kind because it tells you how to live a Jewish life that is section number one the second section is your idea which means to know what the law is so for example the laws of Ruta there tells you how to you know how to live life in terms of knowing what the rules are in many many different situations in the laws of your Adele then there is the laws of ever enhancer the third section which deals with all like issues with husband and wife marriage divorce who you couldn't marry you can't marry how you should marry and so on and so forth whatsoever enhancer and the four sections cultural myths part which is laws of monetary dispute conflict and so on and so forth those are the four issues in the cordage in Jewish law and obviously each one has many many the chapters and paragraphs and so on and so forth now so that's on the on the revealed part of the Torah now it's interestingly that in the concealed part of the Torah this is called the Bible of mysticism in the Bible of mysticism which is a tiny has also four sections the first one the CATIA Miriam which is parallel on some level to or a high in the way of life the second level the second section was sorry - Emunah which is parallel to the second section of Jewish life of - no you know the ways of God to know how to get come close to him and the third which is a garis the Trouville repentance is connected to laws of husband and wife and so on that's over then we're going to go back and we'll talk about that and now we see the last section of tanya is parallel to the laws of questioners but let's focus on the one which is connected so to speak and we'll see a fascinating connection on a mystical level listen to entran teaching from the revenue he's like this because what is basically the laws how doesn't work with the laws of husband and wife so the Torah tells us that this marriage and the divorce but what's interesting is when it comes to the marriage and divorce the Torah Torah doesn't say marriage and divorce we're seemingly you think you get married and get divorced right if you a song get the boys the Torah doesn't differently Torah sighs you get divorced and then you get married hello I'm like Larry I'm getting divorced so Tori you get divorced and then you get married the yup song right you go out of the house and then you get married hello what does that mean in other words for the Rebbe explains because wasn't mysticism that in order really to connect to a spouse there has to be a divorce what needs has to be divorced ask me a disconnect because if you get into a relationship and it's like you're two robots you two angels wisdom that we as a relationship so there has to be conflict and after the conflict when this conflict or solution that makes a relationship so what ultimately makes the greatest relationship when there is conflict and conflict resolution conflict resolution is key to a good marriage if you just get married and basically you know everyone does their own thing where's the relationship and you get married and this conflict one wants to run out and one runs out but then you do the conflict resolution now you have a marriage so the outlets for the rebbe explains it's the same thing also what when it comes with often God if we were robots okay with robots God has plenty of robots the whole world of angels is robotic he created a world with us human beings we're not always excited to be do exactly what God wants we're human sometimes we veer off but guess what happens when we veer off we can we're gone order then we say oh my gosh I wanna return and the return after veering off that makes the real relationship those when the boat is rocky and you live through the storm now you appreciate life if you ever like we discussed today in the partial class when everything is great we fall asleep but when things start getting rocky I now we get awake and come awake then we appreciate the calm if you had your whole life calm when you appreciate calm no you know any difference but when you have calm but then you have a rocky bumpy road and then you have things get straightened out or now you appreciate calm you know what calm means because you know what calm doesn't mean you know rockiness means so that connections you seen between the third section of tanya in Garissa chuva creates the relationship with god now what's interesting is that we know that everything in the world is connected to God's name which name you'd cave of kay yet cave of K now what's interesting is that the you'd the hood of God's name resembles haha DeNooyer the first nude the first London hood resembles cockman which is basically the first flash of an idea of wisdom the hay which is again the first hay in God's name resembles bina and as you take the wisdom that was there and you develop it so there's nothing really new but it's a lot of detail so the year is the idea and the hay is what is the all the details of it then you have the valve which Rachel's the emotions and then you have hay which is mal hood now in the world of male/female so the iord resembles the male flashes of ideas what do you do with it who knows right because it's the male his ideas the woman on the other hand she's the bina she takes it he develops it right think about it you got to so you buy some food who makes the dinner the mite makes the dinner right I mean yeah you you you the husband might buy a house but who makes it into a home the white makes a home they're sailing with a bug right the velvety all these emotions all over the place the wife Malucci sees it right like the husband gives a little sperm and the wife sits for nine months until the baby comes out into a baby so the hey the first day and the second hey in God's name resembles what the feminine whether it's through bina or through mouth or through mouth would be normal for example the hey which is both feminine it and it Tania the way the timing works is so actually interesting is the after every the for section of Tanya the first section of Tanya is starts with the last hey the second section is the Volvo the third section that is the the first hey of God's name and the last section of Tanya is for the unit so you see this whole section is referring to the first hey of God's name which is vena but the idea is to return the hey to its source because what happens when a person disconnects from God you know what happens the hey gets disconnected and matter of fact in this section of Tanya Agartha chuva over the 12-week 12 chapters that we're gonna be stunning we're going to learn about two types of Trueba two types of repentance called lower level of chuhwa and a higher level of Trueba lower level Trueba is obviously a lower level it's more it's more out of or out of fear remorse but the higher level truth is called trouve up from simcha which we're going to talk about those two levels in depth as we go as we go through it gave us a tumor but you see there's two different levels of tumor lower level sugar high level of sugar interesting truth again is what about returning to hey two types of Trula the idea of truth is structure of hey to return the hey the lower level the higher level to its source because any time someone basically disconnects from God the hey gets messed up because it's not connected the beam is not connect with the mod the mouth was not connected with the me--don't but the idea is and actually all the letters of God name get get downgraded but the idea of truth is what return the hey back to God now so the outer it starts off by teaching us what true ver is what is true what does it mean to return to God what does it return to God so first the after it starts off and he brings a brighter from the front of Talmud and the price it sounds like this that we know to make it simple we know there's there is mitzvah I say this positive Commandments how many powers of Commandments are there very good 248 248 pounds of Commandments and there are negative Commandments how many negative comments 365 so you have 248 puzzle Commandments and then you have 365 negative Commandments so net positive Commandments go one cat one category right publicly this 248 then there's negative Commandments having don't transgressors don't that excetera and how many are you there were there are 365 now in the negative Commandments there's different variations how extreme they could be I mean to say is there's regular like God says don't do this in me right but then there are certain negative Commandments that carry a very very heavy weight punishment for example for example what would be the heavy weight punishment it could be that you die Kuras you died young age that's 140 people died a young age could leave to transgress certain Commandments that will cause them to die at a younger age or a different where would that then the rabbinical court as we discussed on jlr last week they have the power to issue death penalties and what happens is when when there's a death penalty commandments will bring a death penalty that the Rabbinical cords will obviously prescribed in that case scary but you see there's different two different levels ending in the negative precepts so the brine set cells like this that what happens what happens if a person went ahead and missed an opportunity to do a positive commandment and others let's get in perspective there's 248 positive Commandments for example for a male to put on film every day for example to eat kosher right to have a mezuzah to study Torah to believe in God to love God right so this there's specific mètode' that apply to male or female apply to both and then there's certain metal to apply for example once a year and once a month whatever so - once a weeks about then you have commandments that apply every single day and then you have commandments that apply when 24/7 like for example to love God to believe in God to study Torah studying Torah once you study Torah when 24/7 so there are commandments that literally apply 24/7 now the purpose of the positive Commandments according to Kabbalah and mysticism what is the purpose of the composite of Commandments spiritually and obviously physically to huh connect with God yes correct that's a good good answer connect with God how so because any time it's very important this will literally change your whole perspective about doing the mitzvot literally in a very positive way there is so yes there's something about that yes there's something about yes yes correct correct and I'll use that yes very good I'll give you different terminologies yes yes along those lines but I'm going to use different terminology similar to what you're saying similar to what you're saying but again different terminologies a little bit but the same concept I was like yes when it's the purpose of doing a mitzvah is that when a person does a mitzvah you connect to God right or appearing certain shards of cetera but let's use the words that the Altima users it's better to use the words here and try to understand me saying so anytime a person does a positive mitzvah you know what you're doing at that moment if you had the right glasses unfortunately my glasses don't work that well but if you had the right classes you're drawing down a beautiful light or here's the term or which is light and you're drawing down Sheva a flow so anytime you need you anybody anybody does our Mitzvah and we discussed in the first section of Tonya not only does the light get drawn down for you the person during the mid so it actually it's a light for everybody now hopefully with God's help we can see the light but the fact is you put on tefillin you know what happens to that moment if you had the right glasses and hopefully we all do you would see a beautiful light coming down on you and in the whole world and a flow of energy you like the Shabbos candles Friday night which I'm sure the woman experienced that you feel the light right you eat kosher literally you go to the store you buy something kosher hey guess what nothing either you bought something culture and you made a blessing when you ate it oh my gosh it's beautiful light hovers over you this flow of energy comes over you Shabbat you observe survive because it's right there's two Commandments positive and negative I'm talking to positive you observe Shabbat you respect the Shabbat guess what happens you make conditional Shabbos you literally see this light coming down again right you celebrate the house white people happy in the holidays because guess what when you're observing the holidays there's a light a beautiful powerful spiritual light that comes down a beautiful flow of energy it comes down again this 248 we can list every single on but I want to talk about for a minute about studying Torah because studying Torah we can do 24/7 so like Shabbat if the way to survive I give me three 2 Han Yin but studying Torah you can study Torah win 24/7 you wake up in the light you're exhausted you wake up in all the night guess what you have a torah next day bread you wash me I'll ask you see modani right you start studying Torah guess what your whole rule is now full but light you get up in the morning you're right you pray oh my gosh you bring light into your house you sit down as you have a few three minutes you're starting Torah light coming in you got work you have a break a 15-minute break you can sit and you know surf the internet or check me whatsapp no lights coming in just wasting time I'm not saying you shouldn't do it the point is but it's the in there 5-10 minutes if you study Torah you know you did you brought a light to think about if you have let's say five minutes to do nothing well something is doing nothing you have five minutes if you go on a email or a text or what's that what are you doing I don't know right five minutes are what you do I don't know right but if you said four that's five minutes in study Torah you actually brought down light and shaffer which means a flow of energy around you so if you spend every moment you had free reading Torah listening to Torah guess what you're doing you're like bringing is like you're it's raining blessings all over you so that is what when a person does positive commandment or for example the mitzvah to love God I love God right or demister to pray to God and you pray to God you're drawing down a beautiful light not only a light but a flow of intense energy around you now so therefore we could technically and we should hopefully be busy drawing down light and energy when always always and guess what the good thing is when you study Torah and you pray you do it certainly drawing down the light guess what that's a real spiritual light a real energy no one can take away from you it's not a scam no one can don't can steal from you no one can you know con you it's yours it's 100% yours it stays with you it protects you in this world and the world to come because it's it's it's a myth it's the energy that's here for you in this world and in the world to come it's the best investment think about it any investment you can make it's at risk of losing it people invest their whole life and what happens at some point the bad investment the guy told me that they boom he lost to whatever a big part of his retirement first if you study Torah and you do a mitzvah are you drawing our light that's yours that's always yours now now here's key so again so here you have a whole different spin on doing a positive commandment walk - you're doing a positive commandment guess what you're doing bringing down the light now doesn't that have a whole different approach to doing a mitzvah it's different reality all right it's not like it's a it's not a burden anymore I got to do this Mitch but no I want to do this mitzvah I can't wait to do the Mitzvah right even before you actually I want to do it why because I want to connect with God and I want to have to light over me I want this flow of energy on me to protect you to be for you to give you peace and happiness all the good stuff now the after it brings down the bright so it says what happens in a person missed an opportunity mean to say is practically speaking you had ten minutes that you were idle you were free and instead of at that ten minutes there's other thing that's doing nothing instead of for ten minutes sitting in studying Torah or praying and doing a mitzvah you live nothing do you do anything bad no you didn't hit anyone you didn't hurt anyone you didn't kill anybody you didn't know anything bad but guess what what we just learned you missed an opportunity you missed an opportunity doing the Mitzvah can I say God forbid again we're not to use the word bad because we're not about bad but can I say these are warm terrible no but guess what you missed the opportunity now what happens is you think to yourself oh my gosh five minutes here 10 minutes there if you add up all the time that you spent you know doing idle stuff for I don't just play a term for it all these you know five minutes that you know you basically wasting your time and twiddling your fingers or excited about playing games and doing you know something like you know good not bad just doing non important stuff until you spend two hours a day surfing the internet playing whatsapp and playing a game Adam in game 2 sports the health reasons but just like doing stuff to have zero value so you spent hi welcome perfect timing come inside so you spent let's say two hours of the day I'm getting one day now multiply your enemy two days but let's take one day for example and you spend two hours and guess what happening in those two hours nothing so then you save yourself oh my gosh the fact that you did nothing it doesn't really bother people that much but if you're your sincere person you say oh my gosh I missed an opportunity today two hours I could have invested in drawing the ungodly light and drawing down godly energy I missed an opportunity I missed that opportunity and if something's up oh my gosh god I could have drawn an animal I could have drawn down your life there would been a greater presence of God right now in this world both for myself and for the world and guess what and the bride says the shove shove means I realtor I did wrong and I'm turning to God God how do I fix this how do I fix this help me how do I fix this so the bride says again this from the Talmud that guess what if a person does true though a person is sincere about it and you really turn to God you I'm really sorry I should have spent to out again I didn't do anything bad I should have spent two hours you know drawing down the light that's what the translation of a / - nity of a / - a missed opportunity of doing that's wrong God's I forgive you I forgive you that's in the brightest s I forgive you right simple that's easy oh I thought it'd be tough right turn to God I spent two hours on my computer today or my iPhone or whatever I spent there or my android phone you know keep it the fear play right I missed opportunities God forgive you that's the brightness that simple this is getting from the revealed part of Torah now what happens God also wants us besides the fact that he wants us to draw down light he also wants to make sure we don't get dirty right and get dressed up for example it's for our wedding irreverence huh and you're in a nice new suit to the white shirt a nice tie right you'll dress on a nice dress and you're going out and it's a puddle and you walk into the puddle guess what now you're all dirty you're gonna walk into the wedding it's a Bar Mitzvah with the with a dirty dress or a dirty suit and a white shirt guess what you gotta go home you gotta change in other words what happens if I went ahead and I literally transgressed one of the negative precepts there's actually more opportunities to transgress because it's 365 negative precepts whether it's it not a missed opportunity of drawing out like that was the positive Commandments I'm told God says don't do this and they went ahead and I did it it could be ordered Shabbat whether it's kashrut whether it's about the holidays whatever it is is 300 commandments well Beth from Britain relationships I went ahead and I literally did something God told me not to do oh my gosh what happens now so the opéra getting quotes in the price will soon get into the mystical part of it but let's first get the this the the lay of the land in the revealed part of the Torah and guess what I did something God said don't do it God said you knows for example God said don't walk in a puddle right it's a big sign God says don't walk in there puddle right because you're gonna get right I mean this guy's to put a sign we know don't walk into the problem cuz you didn't get dirty and then walked in guess what I did things I shouldn't have done whether you're like it's not a punishment you got dirty it's a natural consequence you walk in the probably a dirty so you know gosh oh my gosh god I'm dirty I basically transgressed against you I did something you said don't do it and I wouldn't did it so the Talmud says from the browser that you said you got God please forgive me so we said okay God says no problem I'll forgive you but the problem is the problem is your cause is so dirty right you think you guys ain't come home I'm getting dirty okay you're going back into the hole boom the olsommer comes clean no you got to take the clothing either you put into the washing machine in the dryer it to give you the dry cleaners think of it if you were the clothing you think of what goes through you when you're in the washing machine today I'm washing machines with a glass top you can see what goes on the water right spins back and forth and soap and right and then you put into the dryer in the heat and everything it goes to some serious the cleansing process or in a dry cleaning all right series cleansing and that eventually goes off the God said guess what got a problem here no problem I forgive you but you did something wrong so God says you have to wait till you Kippur you have to wait till one day the year why because they don't Kippur it says the finish em what happens because I knew Kippur we all come lifts may Hashem we come in a very very high level higher than the regular level the flame will come to a high level of you keep off get the infant a part of God you know my goal a just to drop before that higher than that and over there there's no room for sin so first step is you have to God I'm sorry oh my gosh please forgive me God says don't have to give you but hold on to that sin to the final cleaning process it knows oh my gosh I got dirty okay no problem go get changed and go to thing but you still got to clean it so God said something takes a while to get certain stains out got known count Yom Kippur comes and you'd be forgiven now what happens if you did something with not only you determining what God says not to do but it's there as we mentioned before they're certain negative precepts which have capital punishments whether God takes your life before around the Atrix D or the bet then makes a ruling that you're gonna be put to death what is Danny Roman gods God forgive me so then what happens like this you come to God God forgive me God's not forgive you and you have to wait for Yom Kippur Plus besides that unfortunately there's a lot of suffering the air flows through it's part of cleanliness process you get to put the like the washing machine on like you know on a high but high splitting a high spin there you go the ladies now high spin right and the dryer has to go on like high high heat there you go ha exact has got high heat yeah and high heat so you have to go through the process unfortunately I've got going through a lot of pain to clean up okay fine got it that's more or less the way the bright side listens the after asking simple questions hold on a second there's a rule in Judaism that if you have two Commandments that there are basically coming heads on head on head on so for example for example there's been an example excuse one example so for example is we know that there's a biblical commandment to circumcise saw a male boy in the eighth day circumcision now we also know you know I'll do any work on Shabbat so what happens when boy is born on Shabbat the eight days of Chaumont and you got now you have oh my gosh rather what I do I have a biblical meant circumcise but I also have a biblical man not to work has it work and the answer is because the rule is a rule that when you have a positive commandment and negative commandment the positive commandment overrides overrides or for example a about Apple commandment you have to wear two teeth on a four corner garment but what happens is the quota for the four-cornered garments for example is uh is climate switch it's two materials that you can't we're together so to summarize the point is the point is that the positive always over the negative so one second so what do we see from there we see from the a that what's more powerful a positive Mitzvah a positive which is more powerful and also now that we said before what draws down the spiritual light the positive Mitzvah the negative doesn't really draw down light it's just like it's like don't walk here because you'll get dirty but doesn't so pounds is more powerful but what we just learned before in the bright so what does it say if a person went ahead and miss the opportunity didn't draw down a light all right we forgive you ah you walk into the puddle you disagree you transgress a negative one case yep the way to Yom Kippur another case you have to have suffering hello if missing if the goal is what's the goal in life there's obviously you want to do positive Commandments and you don't want to transgress but what's more important more important is focusing on the positive so if more importance of positive shouldn't there be a greater requirement for returning to God by missing an opportunity for a positive Mitzvah so the author explains very powerful this is like this the truth is that positive is more powerful and the proof is because positive overrides are negative however now however and the truth is that when you miss an opportunity to do a mitzvah whether it's a daily mitts for a weekly mixer or studying Torah and you're basically right now I'm not drawing out light any moment in your life that you're not drawing down like you're not doing a path so you're not bringing down life and you miss let's say - I would eat in the example for two hours that you didn't do it you didn't do that like for those two hours guess what there is no way you can't make up for that you can't make up for how can you make up for time this minute you have no know like to draw the tree to bring down this minute you have another mixer to do you can't make up for a missed opportunity so that's what the author is saying is you missed an opportunity forget about that there's no way you're making up for it you're not making up for a missed opportunity however there's another issue so then why you didn't because the Truvia is as two parts when you listen opportunities two parts one is you miss the opportunity to draw down the light and a flow of energy but secondly by missing the opportunity it's actually it is rebellious against God because the fact is wasn't it's rebellious you should have done what God want you didn't listen to God God says being busy doing MIT's phones so the chuva is not to brought draw down light you didn't draw down the light missed opportunity done history you'll have to make it up nothing you should feel bad but to fact and no big deal should be more careful because guess what mr. fraternity you here for a short period of time do the best you can do don't waste any time study pray do Mitzvah help other people in its old be busy with good things and guess what you're busy good things you'll be missing bad things stop being wrong when it comes to rebellious part you say oh my gosh gone shoe fine I'm now I'm gonna make sure to do the right things by still rebelled against you because I was not cognizant the fact you told me to be busy doing them it's votes so then we say fine Coover helps and that's an alien Coover however when it comes when someone transgressed a negative commandment so what happened here you actually did something you did something that God told you not to do here you want kapowee you want to Tom into some something like a garment that got dirty on a spiritual level so here you need a serious repentance what's that is why do we need that sugar that's great but to clean up we're not talking a true but now we're dealing with the clean up there clean up yeah you have to wait Tim Kippur because we need away we need a high level of God to do the cleanup or god forbid if someone did something which you know causes the death penalty so then you need to have serious suffering to go through to atone for it which by the way that's one of the reasons why when a person is going through suffering you shouldn't you know don't feel bad because it's part of your atonement process it's not no one's trying to hurt you it's a part of the atonement let's talk about soon when we get to that part in Tonia okay so that's more or less the way after it starts off you guys are children but now the author has to explain practically so what we just learn if it's again if it's a which are important to remember point number one is that we have an opportunity every moment to draw down light and beautiful powerful engine we have enough eternity if we use it great and guess what think about NAND you know this now time becomes really valuable you become valuable guess what why would I want to spend time doing something which is not drawing down light I can easily join our light of God powerful godly energy that's what I want to be busy with that becomes my vision in life definitely have a mission statement my vision of mister statement is I'm here to draw down godly light how by praying by studying by doing this for helping other that's my that's where and that's what I wanted to 24/7 I get true I have to work I have other response part I'll do that too but after that I don't have a valid excuse a busy taking care the kids we're gonna maybe the grandkids we're not going to take if you don't have a valid excuse guess what make sure you're following your vision original statement that's point one now what happens if God forbid someone missed an opportunity so then you can't make up but guess what don't do it again but in order to make up the fact that you rebel against God so you have to do chula as the price is said or if somebody's trying to fix doing something negative to chuva so now the after it starts to explain what is Trueba and here the Altima gives such beautiful explanation a whole different mindset of what trouve is and the optimist is like this Coover comes in the word of partial to return return as we've said before what the return that to the hey of god now so the outer makes it so simple really really simple but it's really not about focusing on the negative true ver means I am committed not to do anything I did before which means in the negative way which means I will not waste a minute every minute I have of mine is going to be precious drawing on the light so I'm not going to rebel against God god forbid right now drawing down the life because when I don't draw down the life besides the fact that I'm not drawing down and I'm missing an opportunity to invest and bringing down Garland's in the world I'm not I'm not doing that anymore that addresses the positive Commandments and the negative Commandments has an address I will not do anything obviously against what God wants now and that's what that's a whole year true so true vote the author says basically is a commitment but not just a verbal commitment not just a thought or it's now on but it actually goes into your hearts and your hearts it goes into your heart in your heart you know because we can do things externally and we do things internally here we're making an internal commitment to the depths of our hearts that guess what I'm not rebelling against God anymore I'm not doing anything counter to God I'm going to serve God which means I'm going to do the positive Commandments and I'm gonna be on guard to make sure I don't you dress I need the negative Commandments now comes alone the after band says wow that's all it is I heard people fast and people do these like you know intense pain and suffering Allu know true VII is simple and this is the beauty of tanja true VII is not about pain it's not about suffering it's not about fasting it's not about it not taking care of yourself true VII is just about one thing it's about returning to God and developing a deeper relationship with God and committing not to disconnect anymore that's true ver Trueba means I don't want to disconnect from God anymore I want to be connected to God means for me I don't want to disconnect it means ia I want to make sure every moment I'm filling it with God and godliness I'm drawing that light I don't want to go through it rebel against God by not listening to him where he told me to do that and for sure I'm not gonna go ahead and do anything you told me not to do Danis Cuba period the story simple right so what happens with all the wood all the welcome welcome welcome come inside we're finishing up Tanya will search a lot shortly come come come inside have a seat have a seat okay now so what happens with all the fancy I'm just fasting this does not apply that's not true that's not true now that's very ill omen not necessarily all not now so but in the other hand another thing he brings down from the from the code of the Jewish law that nowhere in the coleslaw it's weeks out fasting when it comes to chuga chuga is about turning to God and saying God from now on I'm with you golem with you I'm not going to be not with you that's simple now but in the other hand he says we find in certain places so that they're suffering that comes the other explains here there's something which is called Coover turning to God from love and towing to God from or from fear turning to God from fear that's not the high level of Trula that's not true ver at the highest level true the returning to God means I'm doing that of love God I love you I want to keep I want to have the relationship with you I want to draw down light it's all what I want now what happens when a person did do something wrong the only one in doctor assesses clearly based on the versed in the Torah the only one that can cause a person to suffer not self a person has no right to inflict on himself any suffering any suffering but what happens is if and when a person goes ahead and does sincere true ver where God I want to be with you I'm now I just wanna bring down the light and he doesn't have love God will give him a gift God will get him a gift that God will cause him suffering God will causing the suffering to create the atonement for unfortunately when he will you sinned where you had a death penalty you can avoid the death penalty but that doesn't come from you do creating suffering there's no such thing as a person creating suffering to himself or got me to another person the only one that has the power and could and should and will it is God where as a gift to you once you turn to him out of love that's the only time you're suffering and that's actually a good thing and matter of fact that's one president oh my gosh God thank you so much for bring me in suffering because I needed that to clean up the law unless I had when I got dirty when I went to the table when I didn't listen to you and I did something good right we actually should've give me just thank you God this caused me to suffer and I should not have to deal with on the highest level now so again but the altar was sticking to his not only theory but reality that true ver is what returning to God out of love so one of the issue he did and he said there's no such thing as fasting fasting is not anywhere in the Jewish books now he addressed one issue about the suffering the suffering that's only with God brings you to suffering now he addresses another so we know we find there's something which is called video where a person basic confesses now we do find confessions I hear which doctors say no just turn to God exactly this confession or souther explains in this that when a person sins we are made up of two parts we have Anna Shama a soul and we have a body now when a person sins you've sent in two levels what means in two levels number one is your soul sin because you turned away from God and then the physical body was painted so the Optima explains the soul returning to God that you want to be back with God while you Ruxin younger um that is accomplished as you mentioned before duster chuhwa but what happens if you want to actually clean up the body then you need confession so again to return to God the true words for the soul to return to God you said God hey God I got it I shouldn't have rebelled I should visit drawing the analyte I'm back with you but if you want to also clear the body out then you need to do what something which is called a confession now but the algebra says I'm not gonna hide it from you the fact is what I tell you there's no fasting but we do find in certain places and then that there was fasting in the movie people get together as a community fast and sometimes when we do fast right the author explains very very simple this is key anything of the past that means any transgression or disconnect that you had with God past there's no such thing as fasting no such thing you return to God however what happens if there's a decree that's going to be future tense in the Jewish people there's the Creon for example they're gonna wipe out a city as we know throughout Jewish history or they're gonna be a program and so on and so forth something for the future then there's room for fasting to avert a decree but not for chuva again is there room in juries and fasting yes but not reference the Trueba this room and jury of a fasting to avert a decree of future that's going to that might come happen and by a person fasting and make more of a commitment to God yes God will take away the decree but when it comes to true ver simple all we need to do is saying I'm not doing that anymore god I love you I want the relationship you know what I did rebelled because I should spend every minute bringing on the light and from now on I'm committed what to bringing down the light of God into this world so in other words you see clearly from the author or from this chapter of Tonia it literally changes the whole perspective of true it's not about suffering it's not about fasting it's about one thing re creating a loving relationship with God and a real relationship is about doing what God wants and as long as you do what God wants whether it's through prayer or Torah study which you can do 24/7 or doing a mitzvah you're drawing down God's light and if I missed out the opportunity or I did something and wasn't suppose I said God got back I'm back with you I'm back with you and I'm gonna continue drawing down the light once you get this you realize oh my gosh true is so beautiful because really the fact is when you do return to God and when you return the hey right to God and you become one with God you know what happens you end up living a beautiful happy peaceful life and more importantly you're actually living no pun intended in the light but with every time you do a mitzvah anytime you pray you study Torah guess what happens an or is over you I mean think about I guess everyone can think of when you study Torah right or you do a mitzvah then you feel the light up around you and on you and don't you see everything from out for me a little in a positive way so if you want to change your life and become positive and have a positive outlook guess what it's simple do a mitzvah do another Mitzvah keep on doing mitts vote you'll be in the light and when you're in the light guess what happens there's no darkness and God if it's if it's a little bit dark all you need to do is do what pull out the book start studying Torah light goes on light goes on all problems go away so Trueba is a beautiful thing it allows us to turn the light on between us and God
