The Power of Double Comfort נחמו נחמו עמי A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

Welcome to our class on this. We're going to be learning a beautiful discourse in the Reb. The name of theic discourse is called Ami. The Reb said this discourse that year was Shabasu which is the 15th day of the month of in the year 45 years ago. So again theic discourse is based on the verse of the prophets where it says that God is saying comfort oh comfort my people and the reb brings from the discourse of the rebidic discourse which is also the the 15th day of the month of in the year which is in Hebrew they call it and he brings the uh the saying from the medish from the yalut that it says over there as follows. Corresponding to the two cryings where it says that we cried and we cried which we cried for the two destruction of the two temple the first temple and the sec second temple. So we need to have a double comfort for the crying of the first temple and of the destruction and for the crying of the second temple's destruction. And what does that mean? that the comfort the double comfort is on the two on the two temples because the two cryings of was on the two temples. So therefore the the comfort is also in the two temples. The first temple that was destroyed and the second temple and he points out in the discourse. You have to understand it says nakimu one is for the first temple that was destroyed. And we know that in the first temple there was a huge revelation of light more than the second temple. And that's why in the second temple there were five things that were missing that that existed in the first temple. So if that's the case, if you're being comforted for the first temple that were destroyed, which is much more powerful, there were five things that they didn't have the second temple. So why do you need the second comfort of the second temple? It's already included in the comfort of the first temple. That's the question he asks. Now in the Mishna, in the tractor of Tinus. So he says over there as follow there was no greater holiday for the Jewish people like the 15th day of the month of Aav and Yum Kipper. And he brings over there what it's brought down and creates. The reason why because then you have the moon is complete the 15th day of the month on the for the month of as we said in the Hebrew it's called the moon is complete. So yes one second if [clears throat] what are we saying there's no greater holiday like the 15th of A that means it's the biggest holiday. The fact is you're saying it's bigger than Passover. You do bigger be bigger than Sukkot. we know Passover and so because there's also on the 15th day the month so you have the same quality as the 15th of the month of a of the where so why are we saying that that that is the greatest holiday if it's only because it's the 15th of the month to understand this he brings an introduction where it says in the prophets as follows which means everybody has to come onto the earth we have without the earth how you eat. Even the king has to work the earth because without working the earth you're not going to have any produce. You're not going to have a very you're going to have you're not going to have any anything growing. Now that's on a physical level. Now ets on a spiritual level what is it referring to? It's referring to the sphere of malus the lowest sphere the last sphere of the 10 spheres. And matter of fact the the lavana the moon um which is that we we said that on the 15th the the moon is the biggest is also connected to mala. Earth is malus and unspiritually and the moon is considered connected to malus. Why? Because the moon com compared to the sun is just like earth compared to heaven. And that's why it says that means that the the the upgrade of of of level of which is referring to comes what is coil coil means everything literally but co is referring to what the sphere of because everything is in the sphere of and there comes to malus what does that mean and we know that malus is basically where it's one component it's one dot and that's the difference between the sphere of malus and all the other spheres Because for example, let's take the spheres of which is the small face which is the six the six. So there's four four different four six different components and what gets added in um into into the the the six you have also the intellect and the is also part of the 10 means that they're all all inter intertwined. How however malus is one dot there's no length there's no breadth there's no depth etc and everything comes into malus so malus is one dot one empty dot now in this idea that malus we're saying is one dot so it's actually two two two different opinions how to look at that when we say the malus is a dot is it the level of the highest level of mal ket of malut or is the lowest part of malus which is malus of mala since all its spheres are intertwined and you can say what does that mean on a practical level so in malus what is malus spiritually malus is the level of kabala you're accepting in accepting there's no details in intellect you think like this you think that emotions etc malus is kabal I accept there's nothing it's it's simple it's beautiful it's actually a great place to be malus is all about kabala and that's the difference When you say malus which is it malus the lowest part of malus where malus is connected with malus or is the highest part of malus of malus malus of malus as we said malus is acceptance that comes after comprehension after comprehension you come to okay you're accepting you're starting off with you're starting off with acceptance it's even you're not even it's higher than intellect In other words, after you come to the greatest level comprehension, you come to the realization like it says in in in in in in Kabala, you know what the ultimate of knowledge is? I don't know. I just accept. And then you serve Hashem in a level of what? And like it says there's on that level, no thought can comprehend Hashem. But how how could you comprehend it? which is the awakening from the heart which means even the highest level which is called the thought which is basically before the primal level of can't comprehend it but you can't comprehend it but how can you comprehend it which basically is higher than intellect so you see on the highest level can retake you to the highest places and since mal we said is one dot So therefore what happens is when a when there's god forbid a sin which causes leeching out from the it cannot leech from malus because over there there is no light and therefore there's no light you can't you leech you can't leech out in other words the whole idea of malus is it's concealment and the only thing you have is one dot acceptance. So an acceptance has nothing to grab from. Yeah, he can grab acceptance and then then there's no leeching. Now, but nevertheless, from this that we're saying that in Malus [clears throat] there there there there is there is differences for example sometimes all the the the spheres are shining in Malcus and something not and like for example let's look at the moon which we said the moon is compared to to Malus. Let's look at the moon literally. There's a difference between the beginning of the month where there it's only a dot versus the 15th of the month where it's totally complete and the same thing also because sometimes in malus um since it has nothing and it receives from high so therefore sometimes it receives and some doesn't it doesn't receive now just to be clear these differences is only way malus comes down to the world of briia like its legs come down into the lower worlds however the way malus is in the world where basically I am the complete faith of Hashem there's no there is no there is no changes and just like in the in the moon literally that the the difference is when when it compared to the earth but in the in the source of the moon there is no there is no there's no difference and that's why he says that the the the benefit of which is is in everything so we said is malus and malus we said is one dot and you have to have upgrade the errors means you have to bring in in malus which is basically adding it where does it come from that comes from the sphere of so in short saying is which is nothing where does it get upgraded from coil from the sphere of and then the verse continues on to say that the king has to work the ground so there's two two insights in the zor one insight says says what what what when it says Melik what is it referring to Melik it's referring to a higher level of kingdom that he connects with the field the way by by working in the field and know the field we said is malus and when when you work the field you bring in the higher level of kingdom which is keter another insight says that when you work in the field and the contrary that there's a field and a field and when there's a holy field and there's unfortunately the opposite of holiness and the king is idea of malus that malus comes down into the level of one dot. So it's either we're basically malus gets from the from keter or it gets downgraded and like we explained before that when malus comes down to one dot we said there's two there's there's two opinions if it's bringing in from keter of malus or are we talking about the lowest level malus of malus and these two ideas you have in you have in in in in in the level of a king and like it's explained at length in the der of the mitzvah of appointing a king that what's The whole idea of a king to bring in acceptance to the all the Jew to all the people all the Jewish people should have acceptance and that's why it says that when the king when he prostrates himself he doesn't stand up and what what does that mean he explains in in in in that over here there's also two levels there is the level of acceptance which comes after understanding which is the malus of malus the lower level malus and then you have acceptance which is totally above it which is referring to malus and since malus we said is one dot acceptance so it's possible the king be connected to the to to to the field which unfortunately could be the field of the opposite of holiness because when basically when godliness is not shining then sadly malus could go ahead and have a downgrade downgrade and that's why he says because again is referring to and What is the upgrade in malus is that what's the upgrade in malus when you have co which is referring to the sphere because why is it called because it gathers in all the sphero into malus and it adds into it but when means that the malus gets downgraded so what's the po purpose the purpose of the downgrade is for the upgrade because when we go ahead and we transform the world then malus actually gets elevated Like it says in the future that which is referring to Malos is actually going to be much more powerful that than than the the male male energy like it says in Cabala that in the future what's going to happen is you're going to have the upgrade in the in the name ban but now we know is numerically value for 52 which is basically connected to ideas of of of Malus to ma is going to get upgraded to the Neville of Sag which is the numerical value of 63. 3 which is basically connected to idea of veno which is even higher than the sphere the the sha which is numerical value is 45 which is connected to the to the the z which is the six six me and not only that you're going to have the upgrade with bond the the the 52 which is the lowest one is going to be upgraded to the level of masculi which is basically the level of I am bay 72 which is even higher than shame which is connected to the idea of what 72 do is connect the idea of so you see the whole goal is that get it elevated to a higher level. Now this what the verse says that the upgrade of erits which we said as so there's two different levels in erits like it explains in inra and in length in the classic works of based on the verse where it says to go in the path of the art plural land of life. So it says plural there's two there's two levels of erits which we said is malus you have the lower level of of which is basically mal we explained before malus of malus and then you have the higher level which basically it's connected to idea of and that's why it says the upgrade of malus is and just like malus which is which receives from z which is the idea of the masculine energy the same thing also the sphere of bina which is also the which receives Malus and a spiritual level. What does that mean practically? The difference between the lower the malus and being a receiving that's those that serve Hashem with their soul versus those that serve Hashem with their body. And just like it applies to the service of every single Jewish person that there's two ways of serving which means serving Hashem with our souls and serving Hashem with our body. Same thing also in the general serving hashem which basically took place in the base of mikdash which is a place which is ready to bring sacrifices that you have both components you have the serving hashem with the soul and you have the serving hashm with your body and that's the difference between the first ba mikdash and the second ba mdash and like brought out at length in the discourse of ker that the first ba mdash is connected to the hashem has name is yud k v y v so the first bas mdash which is connected to y and you can say what is that referring to spiritually serving hashem with your soul you have the second temple which is connected to v and you can say that's serving hashem with your body and that's why the main all the decrees and all the the restrictions when did they revolutionized in the second ba mdash well why because in the first base of mikdash we serve god with our with our soul we didn't need to have any decrees however sadly in the second b mdash when we serve god with our body so for the body yes you need to have decrees you need to have limitations and the same thing also when it comes to mel that we explained before that this idea of malus gets gets downgraded. So over here you also have two two downgrades. You have the way Malus gets downgraded and the way Beina gets downgraded like the the the mother and the daughter and the in the first destruction of of the of the of the first temple it was only the downgrade of however in the sadly in the second destruction you had lower but even Malus got downgraded. Now we explain uh it's explained at length in in the discourse that we know that general rule with any up elevation and downgrade that anytime you have a deep deep downgrade. So then afterwards the upgrade is much higher. So what do we see from here that yeah in the downgrade of the first temple and the downgrade of the second temple. So since the destruction of the second temple is a much greater destruction compared to the first one. So therefore the elevation after the second temple obviously is much greater than the elevation after um the first temple. So based on this instruction now we're going to understand why it says nakamu twice because we have the comfort for the second temple and since the the downgrade of the second temple was on a lower level because there we like we explained before that the second temple is lower than the first temple. I like to explain that in the signs of the tech second temple mal is lower even from the time of of of exile the Babylonian exile and how much more the destruction of the second temple which is higher destruction of first temple and like it's uh and like in the language of the of the code of the Jewish law that the second destruction was much harder and therefore the elevation and the comfort is much higher and as we learned before based on the downgrade that's how how great the upgrades is and that's why it says there's no greater holiday for the Jewish people like the 15th of A. Why? Because the 15th of A which is the upgrade which comes after the downgrade of destruction and temple. So what you what you realize is that the intent of the downgrade the destruction was for the great elevation that comes afterwards. And just like the first reason at least in time that the reason why we have the the the the celebration of the 15th of A is because basically the Drew the they they stopped dying in the desert and the truth is when they stopped dying we know they stopped dying on tish the 9th of A but they thought they made a mistake they thought they didn't stop dying they just calculated the days but when they came the 15th of what got revealed no people stopped dying why because when you cleave to Hashem you're The same thing also the upgrade of the 15th of A compared to the destruction of the first and the second took place on the nth of and therefore the the holiday of the 15th of A which hired even the Passover in Sagot even though they took place on the 15th which is when the the kamoon is complete because what would happen by PES we out of Egypt and by suk God gave us booth when he took us out of Egypt however the comfort of the destruction of the second temple which is going to be afterwards it says like just like we left Egyp Egypt. We're going to see in the future great wonders which obviously yes we left Egypt was tremendous but the future is obviously much much greater. And this idea takes place on the 15th of every single year and based on what's explained in in the in reference to rash that every rash there's a new light that comes down to the world that never existed before. So what do we see from here? that the same thing applies for the 15 and like literally that we know we're commanded to constantly go up in holiness until we come to the ultimate comfort of the future and we're going to have the the the wedding of Hashem and the Jewish people which is connected to the 15th day of the month of A because we know that then the children of Zion and Jerusalem they go out and we say come look at look with your eyes see the beauty knows that the Jewish people are asking from Hashem marry us and then we're going to be fulfilled Filled the second reason where it says in Revel 15's above because what happens then is that's when the the the the power of the sun gets weakened which which spiritually means the weak weakening of the nations of the world that they they they count um to the sun and like it says when Messiah comes the nations are going to be our servants and we're going to fulfill the promise of we're going to have the double comfort and then when is that going to happen very very soon and very very quickly. So you have a beautiful powerful insight into the double comfort. Why the necessary for the double comfort and ultimately the real power that we have is because we can go ahead and create true transformation specifically in gulus and we're going to have the coming of Msiah that finish us off and next week's class will be in your have a great and blessed week.
