Okay. So, bam, we are not learning this
week in shid. I was there but um we had
a zim for but not for the minion. Um so
we are now this this uh situation
learning in my holy home even have my is
my soulmate right nearby and we're
learning
and my holy brother Zach is on the
phone. So we we've got uh kavir so we're
keeping it going and it says here we've
been talking about it it was it was
quite intense if you remember last week
and was very in tune with this para
actually parasak of us I mean bo as well
because it talks about in because we're
learning
talks about
bo like the whole last week's para so
it's also appropriate
is going into the kal panoi going to
this place where there exists uh
seemingly
space. It's not obviously a real mus,
but it it feels that way to us human
beings that we're in a
a mock where the cav the the light of
Hashem is not shining in its full full
brightness and therefore we're not fully
aligned and especially when you're
coming in front of someone like parro
his essence is to do with you know
kafira to be against hashem that was
that's what he was you know pra parro is
lash pra evil mouth He wasn't you know
orf someone who's orf is turning his
back to Hashem. So Oref is the neck. So
he he was someone the back of the neck.
So he was someone who was going against
Hashem in his whole essence. And that's
why the whole par we learned last week
is needed to be sorted out. It's a lot
to do once again when you're learning to
you're talking about the heart level bas
and now we're learning
in the in the in the flow of this gaba
that we got to wake up every morning
like a lion. So we said last week we go
to Misgaba on the eight Sahara we got to
be real and thank God I don't know if
you heard him speak at all but um we
just had a preslover in the shore a
special family the house of La Keman
spoke very much from the heart and it
was very real very much what you know is
needed right now for this generation and
uh we continued that last night the
Fbran I was just going over in my mind
all the different parts of the
discussions we had last night with
So if you ever want to come on a Sunday
night, next two weeks I might not be
around but this I think it still will go
on in some way but Gdalia will actually
be here in two weeks from now from
Sunday night. Um so we're going to have
the opportunity to connect to the cal
and to reconnect and line ourselves more
and more the more we learn the more we
are real with ourselves and especially
on the heart level which is where the
most work needs to be done. So that's
why brezovv is called basel. It's all
about fixing up the basari which is
osius rashbi which is also the osus of
bes gile which is the enklas in this
week's part where it says byram the
uncle says bes gile which is osius
rashbi or basari they have to work on
that heart of flesh to bring more
panemius to bring to reveal more the
inner truths of who we are. So he says
here in
for one must serve Hashem with both his
inclinations. So this is a very famous
Torah like brought down with the idea of
the of that we have two hearts. Yeah.
That
two bases in the word we say in
it says
it's double base because the idea is
that there's two as the Tanya brings
down two sides of the heart. The right
side and the left side the eight. So we
have to serve Hashem with both
inclinations.
In truth, if a person would know that
his whole heart with his whole heart,
that the whole world is filled with
Hashem's glory, then the pathway of his
internet would never be blocked and he
would not succumb to heresy, which is
what we're saying. That's the nyin of of
uh of parro. And we see we read this puk
in Yeshua every year on paraso which is
next week's para and it says the whole
world is filled with his glory that's a
famous puk and it's we the reason why da
next week is such a high ha tora because
it's kabalasra on the ka the kabalasra
the ka of of the of the actual lamisman
is going to be in shabu but that's the
the prophecy of the prophet of the mo
and the revelation of the malim with
four wings by it's six wings and it's
the pipet we say is the whole world is
filled with his glory the certain
schllay certain gill a revelation that
happens in a higher way these partial of
shim which is where we're at now and
we're already now in the second half of
shim because we already had vie b now
we're already by bishak and next week is
going to be so we're already in this
realm of clarification of more and more
deeper and deeper after the 10 makkas
have been done in mit and then all the
miracles Hashem did by the Yamsu. By the
time we get to Kabad Torah next week,
we're already now in a state where we're
ready to receive the ten commandments
there and we're able to receive and it
goes the most important part once again
is it goes on our heart.
We should there's two lucas two sides of
the heart like there's two lucas of the
esadbras the ten commandments and we're
meant to internalize what sodic talks
about those two lukas into our heart and
that's we're meant to make a place for
hashem in our heart so then there is no
there's no space or any alternative way
of of of understanding hashem's oneness
there's only hashem there that's the
true reality and the stronger that we
have this with our whole heart says no
then we understand that the whole world
is filled with his glory then we won't
have any of this heresy. So that's why
Rab Mosh Wilson a long many years back
said once I heard him say this that if
you learn cabala you learn pine like
Rabbi Nson you learn you learn the you
learn the zoa you learn Tanya you all
the swarim that we learn if you learn
the or at least they quote them then
then you get the opportunity to have aut
responsibility because it gives you such
an intense revelation of hashem's
oneness and truth of reality that you
you feel responsible to that and
therefore you won't end up falling into
um heretical thoughts or god forbid
serving other things. So it says here
the extent of his awareness of hem's
eminence is reflected in one's conduct
during prayer. If one knew and
internalized that he stands over him
when he ds and listens to every single
word of his prayer.
He would surely pray with great fervor
and be extremely meticulous about
concentrating on his words.
Shalom
shalom he says but in the general person
does not know this whole heart with his
whole heart. Yeah we're not knowing it.
This is the problem. We're not in this
state of awareness where we see how
Hashem is completely interested in our
feelers in the full sense and he feels
everything and everything's coming
through Hashem and we'll be so careful
to dine every word of kavana but since
most of us in general does not know this
wholeheartedly
on account of this he's neither all that
inspired nor all that meticulous yeah
like if um I don't know what what would
you say to you What what gets you
excited? What gets you focused and in
your zone? Everyone has their things,
you know, like uh where you zone in and
you're fully uh fully in that
experience. So that's that's the kind of
level. I mean, that's really true life,
honestly. But that's the kind of level
that we should aim for in yiddishka in
in serving Hashem dvening and and just
in just everyday life of understanding
how Hashem fills the world and we're in
such a but the sadikim are realistic
that we're generally not going to be in
that state majority of the time. It's
only going to come as special moments
gifts from Hashem or after a lot of voda
we get to that good moment of zoning in
on on really what it's all about. Um and
those moments are very precious. So a
lot of the time, unfortunately, we're in
we're in a space where we are not
aligned and we feel we're not on the cav
and we feel open to these other ways of
thinking that could could take us away
from our deep relationship with Hashem
and our deep kind of of that's clear and
connected and one because a lot of a lot
of the Bill Berlin we go through interil
confusion is because we're not clear on
who we're dubbing to and his ability to
do everything for us. If we would have
that clear,
you know, you have to know who you're
standing in front of. Yeah.
Yeah. You have to know as it says in
many shs, old school shaws I have on the
uh on Aaron Kodish, know who you're
standing in front of. If you really have
that knowledge clear so then it's a
whole another level and das is really
the point to have das. So it's
internalized. It's deep and it goes all
the way into your heart. Not just into
your mind, not just intellectually, but
you're actually experiencing it.
and all of this issues from the
concealment of knowledge of Hashem's
imminence
from the concept of yeah is a
interesting word yeah hasn't it the word
and mace yeah the idea of the of death
and portioning off dividing up things so
here he says
you're you're dividing up your heart is
which refers to dispute in a person's
heart caused by the ascending power. His
heart is isalak means divided. So hash
hash. So the idea that we have a kalak a
division. We have two hearts rather than
one united heart. And this is an issue.
Um I'm just going to see if there's any
interesting notes underneath. uh the
idea of having mock dutas we we've been
talking about this and the last time we
were learning the mo the godlas is not
just a concept of greater consciousness
but it's a level where it actually
impacts your heart that's the okay we
just I think we lost the call for a
second let's find back we're good hello
yeah no it's all good so um we were just
saying about the consciousness concept
of being able to really have a large
consciousness will will impact not just
your mind but your heart. This is this
is what we're trying to get to. The
prophet Hashem when we mention him now
about being dividing up the heart speaks
of the idol worshiing Jews who hearts
were divided against Hashem. I mean
Ahmed teaches that his division stems
from conflict within the heart. So this
is something we have to like really
become more dispute between one's good
inclination and his evil counterpart.
When a person's heart is divided between
devotion to Hashem and yearning to his
evil incarnation, his inner
indicates an absence of this deep
spiritual knowledge. Das thus an
inability to answer the personal
heresies that plague his heart and
distancing from Hashem. So look, there's
nothing more important than this kind of
Torah because in our generation, the
evil, the the other side is making us
all a bit nuts with all this false
information or overload of information.
and access to information and is not
helping us with our amuna. This is what
was so interesting with this house of la
guy kakman is that he was very simple in
his amuna in his journey to hashem and
that's something very pure very clear
like when everyone asked him about
Israel the status quo political stuff he
just said he he he's like as as one of
the guys said I think Ari said he's in a
state of bit like he's not he's not
tuning into that he's not giving it air
time he's like I listened to a shir
today that a lot of the stuff that we're
tuning into. We don't actually have to
tune into. We don't have to watch
people's statuses who are showing off or
Instagram or any of that stuff. We don't
have to go into that realm. Like when I
go on it, I really just want to post and
ghost. Like I I just want to get it out
there and really not look unless it's
someone one of my people I work with. I
don't really want to know anyone else
what they're up to because it's usually
creates a billboard confusion in me. I
don't know if you get that but it does
that to me and I don't see any point in
therefore you know spending time on
those those statuses and all this stuff.
I mean if people are looking at my
status I try and make sure that if they
are giving time to it that it should be
Torah content or inspirational uh no
politics always trying to bring people
to a good headsp space you know I I take
responsibility as I said I try to be
responsible the kind of energy I bring
to the world um I mean I need to work on
it more with you know today with we
didn't have a minion so I was a little
bit you know it was painful I felt in
pain that we people didn't come And when
by the time one or two came it was
already too late and we lost the minion
and it was hard to be bim and that you
know I the one guy said though we did
our stadas and we tried to make you know
we did the right thing and it's not it's
not our responsibility and he's true
what he's saying but it was my
responsibility to feel a little bit of
the pain and not to express it so much
maybe to anyone else but then to be able
to express it in a in a clear way to
people that we do need to mhazik the
minion because we need to have a minion.
It's important when teny didn't get
together we the power is so big last
night for where we're just you know
making and talking amongst friends we
had a million at one point and you felt
the you felt the energy level go up once
there was 10 men and so it's a powerful
thing we should always try to d to be z
to a minion and to be to make the
efforts to be a minion it's a big thing
so I just want to quote something a
little bit before we carry on rab from
gdalia just to get some he says this
concept called sneaky blessing I don't
know if you've heard of it, but it's a
guide there of blessings in disguise.
So, it's on page 273 in his new safer
surrender, which he will be book signing
at all his events. And yeah, he'll be
giving, you know, giving out or signing
or selling. So, it says here with
Pomerance and everyone else, due to the
limitations of your reality, some of
your best friends can only enter
incognito.
In fact, the real big ones sneak through
disguise as ugly monsters and vicious
enemies. Otherwise, the gods of the game
would never let them in. There are the
event events optimist called blessings
in disguise. So we all understand not
good things coming in disguise. But
there's the other way around.
There's there's the optimist understands
that there's things coming, blessings in
disguise. There they there these events
expand your mind that we're learning
now. Expanding your mind, getting a
higher consciousness in your heart and
your soul, expand your world, fire the
gods, and perhaps these blessings won't
need such a bizar bizarre entrance
anymore. So that's from above rabbit
bring down bringing heaven down to earth
which is actually when I was by my
before I married my wife and my was by
my my brother-in-law to be's house that
was the first book he ever gave me other
than see I looked at the bringing heaven
down to earth and that was a very
powerful book that I read in my family
to be's home um a seed for growth not
every blessing enters your life with a
smile some arrive wrapped in confusion
pain or delay but that doesn't mean they
aren't gifts yeah I was I've been trying
to get something done with Shalom Lema
for months. Yeah. Um maybe I don't even
remember how long it's been. It's like a
whole big story of bookings. It's it has
grown into a larger story. So that's
that's already part of the blessing.
There's a there's a doubled up the
booking. But I I was talking to him. He
was on the plane today. He obviously has
WhatsApp up on the plane. And he was
flying to New York. So he was a little
bit nervous, you know, with the
conditions that he's flying into. But I
was talking to him and I I was saying
like, "Are we going to get this done?"
And he's like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. He he
totally wants to sort it out as Hashem
will." But it's all going to happen
exactly in the right time. Have a good
night. It's all going to happen exactly
in a good time. And it's just about
patience. It really is. And not to allow
when things get delayed to like to, you
know, to get angry or to lose, you know,
focus. You know, I was at the end I was
just wishing him a safe trip cuz I know
like he's flying into to like a
snowstorm or whatever is going on over
there right now. Um, when you expand
your heart and trust that even the
struggle might carry light, you begin to
see what was hidden all along. The
moment you stop guarding the door,
healing and miracles walk through. The
blessings shake you often become uh the
blessings that shape you. Here, that's a
good line from Gadal. He's very clever
with words. He says, "The blessings that
shake you often become the blessings
that shape you." So, you turn the K into
a P. So, blessings that shake you become
shape you. It's all about growth. It's
all about development. And uh you know,
this one of the things I'm excited to
see him. I had a chat with him yesterday
on the way to the FBI and uh you know he
he's a positive like he has a lot on and
there's a lot of people reaching out and
he says he wants to do Israel so he
wants to do as much as he can but when I
asked him I said so lisa you have more
time to like do another podcast or
whatever because people are asking he
said no he really doesn't but he if he
could he would and and he is already
maximizing his time because he knows
that's he said that's what I'm in the
world for like I'm coming to Israel to
maximize my time and not just you know
sit by a beach or by a pool if that's
the time of year but you know what I
mean he's not on holiday he's busy so uh
this this kind of a voter and the second
point with him was also that he's he's
very much one he's trusting in the
people that he's chosen to help him like
for example myself so he's he's given me
pretty much free reign to run the event
to get them all hopefully uh successful
we just had some new videos put out to
promote the Jerusalem one we still need
to sell like almost half more tickets so
there is what to be done but here's his
headsp space is I always sell out last
minute so he's not worried about it. So
uh if he's not worried then you know
that rubs off for me so I'm not worried.
So that's why it's good when you have
someone you're working with who's
leading the story has a good headsp
space it rubs off on you and that's what
we need to work on ourselves as fathers
and husbands and my wife just left now
so I can say this honestly that you know
I'm going through a little bit of a
struggle financially I'll be straight
but not because I'm doing overspending
or anything like that. Thank God I don't
have any debts or anything. I'm in a
very blessed place in that respect, but
I'm not bringing that, you know, when
you you have on your bank statements, it
shows you how much coming in, how much
is going out. So much more is going out
than is coming in right now. Way more.
And it's just because the booking slowed
down or whatever, you know, the world's
going through its chaos or I I can't
exactly explain it. Um it seems a bit
beyond the the natural flow of things
because I usually always have stuff
going on and I still I have the Gdalia
event coming up but that's you know the
that's more of a nonprofit helping
Israel admits for like having a house of
le it wasn't even a money thing. So it's
these kind of things is trying to just
tune in to the place where Hashem's
going to sneak in the blessing and bring
the braha and to to to to be patient and
all these these advice these real things
are are of so real that if you could
just live this way and and lead with
that joy and that amuna that it's going
to work out you know that's the right
way of being not that I'm always there
but you try and you learn about it by
learning about it gives you the strength
a little bit more to make that choice to
lead with amuna to lead with joy to
leave with an awareness that Hashem is
filling up the whole of creation and is
going to bless you, give you what you
need in the right time and place. So it
goes on
and we'll do another few more minutes in
this relates to the question that arise
because the pathways of the intellect
have become blocked.
You hear that? It's so beautiful. He
says the problem is it divides his heart
to the point he does not know how to
respond to the heresy in his own heart.
See that's why it's so much when we
learned that whole last week thing about
answering up the apicauss. The real real
issue is the apicosis within each of us
the heart level inside of us. He's
bringing it inward into our own hearts.
Not to you know you have to go now
debate some famous atheist or whatever.
You have to work on the heart level
yourself.
Yeah. He says that the remedy this heart
is by studying the rulings of the Jewish
law
and that site the dispute between the
various legal authorities and come to a
clear conclusion. Seven he says down
here the division of person's hearts
rooted disputes of holiness namely
disputes of tan and according gar and
certainty how hashem wants the disputed
law fulfills leaves one's evenation away
to undermine and not only dispute the
holiness but even the foundation that's
why one saddic once said and I I'll
quote this is something people need to
hear majority of the Torah is not not
divided but kalak is smooth is p the
idea of the is to lay it out clear and
it's p is the phat is poset it's clear
majority of if you would take shorak and
go through it in a in a more like kit
way like the kit itself you would
realize the majority of tora mitz is
clear that you know what you have to do
when you wake up you know you need to do
you know you need to now say you know
each thing clean your body you need to
there's so much to do that's clear it's
only very small moment moments that are
mock lockers that you have to now go
learn a sug.
So what we do we get all caught up with
the disputes but the real thing is we
have to keep ourselves with the clarity
with where where yes is clear and be
with that. It's a very good advice I
think and and a lot of people in
Yiddishai would have much more joy if
they would just live the shut of Yiddish
and just enjoy it more as a simple clear
path to serving Hashem rather than over
complicating it. By studying disputes of
the sages and how these disputes are
resolved as rulings of Jewish law, one
fosters inner peace. So there obviously
is room to go now go delve into the tal
and the halak and the postkim and it's a
very big mitz a very holy thing to do.
And to clarify what you know it brings
down a lot of kadoo a lot of rahim a lot
of mercy a lot of good to the world but
it also for ourselves it gives us a
certain is of peace of mind the data he
acquires in learning to distinguish
between prob and permitted kosh and
uncos pure and impure eliminates our
clock as it divides and plagues his
heart with conflict for a more extensive
explanation you can go look up the
rabbis Torres talks about this more
later on okay viter so then what he says
about how to what to answer an epicus he
says no he says that that's a famous
concept from palas we learned about it
number 214 that shalom peace is an is a
a kostic of va ma shash
apicosis so it hasn't it the vav the mem
the shin and lammed and that is the the
pavus that is the four letters that
spell out the words of viea No ma what
to answer
you see. So then in the word shalom is
already the the clarity the the peace of
mind.
So is studying the ruling Jewish law
through this a person attains both d and
inner peace and he will thereby merit to
eliminate the questions in his heart. We
just finish off now. is
that's why we started this and then he
merits to pray with his whole heart with
both hearts. The two bases become united
in serving Hashem. The both serving
Hashem both inclinations shall love with
your God with all your heart.
As I said, this is brings us down as
well.
And that was a by the way the level of
he was the one who was getting up every
morning with his on his
and he was able to serve. He's
connected.
I will praise you with an upright Lav
when I study your just laws studies the
rebings's words there. So apparently
it's a hill I praise you with an upright
Lav when I study your just laws. See it
clarifies it. Torah it heals us. It
heals the bilbo the confusion. It gives
us peace of mind. Everyone's out there
looking for these mental solutions to
their personal problems. The Torah
there. The Torah is right there for all
of us.
However, studying the rulings of Jewish
law is effective on dealing with
questions whose answers the person can
readily compend. Whereas those questions
for which there are no answers forbidden
to explore
as rather one must chunk himself with a
you see that. So he already gives you a
boundary. Don't start getting busy with
all these all these complicated over our
our ability parts of Torah that we're
just going to feel god forbid like
giving up or so that's why it's very
important you should learn Torah that
your heart desires that you understand
you get closer to Hashem through it
obviously you can a little bit and push
yourself but the goal is to keep
yourself in a state of stronger that's
the of and not to veer off into and
rabin not to veer off too much into all
these cushers, all these very deep
philosophical,
you know, the questions that could lead
you to, god forbid, to go out of of your
mind or out of the realm of of amuna,
god forbid. So, we'll just say one more
line here.
And when a person has complete free of
all the questions doubts his eating has
to bring about
this food is spiritually refiner
elevated through. So by the time we
learn next week we already had
twoishvat. So it's a good way to end on
this that we should be z
the tree of life should come alive in
our in our homes in our hearts and that
we'll be able to eat the pis from the
trees that we eat them with a and with a
and bring between and every time you're
saying
king of the world
or all the different we're bringing down
is also gatri pates. So we get to d for
our esrog and the srog is connected the
heart. Sovat is a big tick of the heart
level. The Srog and the heart level is
is all connected and we should for a
pure beautiful
a beautiful heart that's renewed and is
focused on MS the Torah and the
with that we'll have all the with all
the all the
we need of
thank you for learning and have a
beautiful shabashira I'm going to be in
Beshm
next week we'll Well, Monday night I'm
going to be going to Tel Aviv, but if we
learn earlier, it shouldn't be a problem
that we can still learn. That's a shame
because we got Kadalia's event Kadali
speaking Tel Aviv Monday night. Yeah.
And then Thursday night next week,
Thursday night is the shalim and then
Sunday is going to be a amazing
shalim and a fra. Amazing. Yes. Thank
you cult.
