For the first time in history, the
leader of the known free world,
President Trump, has declared that all
Jewish people in America should keep
this Shabbat, the Shabbat of Paridra, a
proclamation in honor of the Jewish
American heritage heritage month, which
is celebrating the 250 years that
America has been around since 1776. Some
people have referred to it as Shabbat
250.
He specifically spoke out on par, the
para right before
the the holiday of the receiving of the
Torah when the president has decided
that everyone should keep this Shabbat.
And I wanted to give a slight
explanation to why this Shabbat is oh so
prevalent for everybody to be keeping
the Shabbat. It's a very interesting
idea with a couple esoteric concepts but
well understood if you pay attention.
This is an incredible idea and it's
absolutely no coincidence that this
Shabbat from all Shabbat all of Jewish
American jewelry amen should be keeping
this Shabbat is there is an idea known
as Shabbat Mala. We all know that
Shabbat is referred to as the queen of
Shabbat. Shabbat Malka when we light the
candles we usher in the queen of
Shabbat. Shabbat Malkata is brought in
with the candles. N as someone pointed
out N is Gatria 250 because of the 250
years of America but we're going to
connect that in a minute. So I just want
to explain what this me of malut is.
Malut we had in spir
seven spir we had seven spirat seven
emanation seven spheres that were coming
down seven energies that are brought
down into the world some which is
graciousness being good is holding and
restraint self-restraint
is the mix between the two. We have and
each one has its own emanation its own
individual emanation. The last one
number seven on the list which is the
last week of Omar is malut kingship
majesty majesty is the power of malut.
Now let me explain to you what mal is
okay it's known as a female mida and
malut is one that has no emanation of it
of itself. It doesn't have any of its
own light but without it nothing works.
Without it nothing is applicable. We
live in a world in the scientific world
and also in the emotional world that
everything is made up of potential
energy what we call and be and kinetic
energy. Everything in this world has a
tremendous amount of potential energy
that exists and it always gets
transferred to from place to place when
it is put out into energy. when they
discovered this idea, they use
waterfalls, Niagara Falls to light up
entire cities that they're able to do
because we realize that all that
potential energy that's lying there is
being brought out and not being utilized
to kinetic energy to making it used.
That is how the world works. All
everything that we have is meant is
useless unless you bring it out to the
forefront. The potential is important
and the kinetic is important and the two
have to work together. If you have one
without the other, then they don't work.
A good example of this, the idea of mal
when we discuss idea of malut, the
perfect example is the moon. The moon,
if you think about it, it's a rock
that's floating around in the sky.
What's the use of the moon? It doesn't
do anything. And here we have it. It
brings a tremendous amount of light at
nighttime. Night is meant to be pitch
dark. Nowadays, we have electricity, but
the moon was always a very important
luminary that existed. Now, what is
that? How does that work? It has no
individual light. Of course, we know
that it reflects the light of the sun in
and of itself. It has nothing. But the
sun alone is useless at night. It
doesn't do anything. They have to work
together in order to produce the light
that is required at nighttime through
it. That's what malut is. It takes
incredible amount of energy which is not
being utilized, which is tainted, which
it doesn't have any capabilities. its
only potential energy and it turns it
into. So you can look at it as something
useless because it doesn't have its own
light. It doesn't have its own but it's
everything at the same time. It is oh so
important because everything else is
stunted not useful without it. You can't
get away without any of it. It brings
what is known as to the the po
who's the sem the idea the ideal of Mal
of course David
Hamel he is the Mal each one of the spir
is
of Mosha Yseph and David
is the me of Mal why because he subord
himself
He who was himself to Hashem made
himself nothing but he was everything.
He wasn't just a passive figure. We are
here because of David was the king of
all of Israel. At the same time you read
to him someone who made himself
completely tel completely willing to be
with everything from
but at the same time he turned it into a
a passive event into an active event by
going ahead and being active to
everybody else. The fundamental idea
behind this meal of of of this monarchy,
the idea of being a melik of kingship is
the idea of turning something that looks
that is spiritual not just to be some
meditation or some theory, something
esoteric or something abstract. No, it
makes something spiritual, but it makes
it real. It puts it down into our real
life. It makes it something that it
really should be part intrinsically part
of our life. You see how fundamental it
is. You see how important we live in a
world a little bit that makes a mock of
people that are the passive figures or
if you don't mind me saying malut is the
mea of the female. The female sometimes
you might see her quietly behind her
husband and of course we live in a
society which makes a mock of that.
It's such a mistake because without her
he is nothing. Without a her all that
potential energy will not be able to be
produced, will not be brought out to the
forefront. He is just a a certain
spiritual power which dies and doesn't
last. And she goes and builds the child.
She creates it. She's able to make the
whole entire family. People look at it
in a negative way. But don't we realize
it is everything. It could be that it
receiving the light from somewhere else,
but she's the one that takes it and puts
it all together. Mal takes disparacy
what looks like places from all over.
This is this is each one has its own
light but it's alone through mal they
all come together in one big plan they
become all together. It's like when you
fill up a cup and you make it all into
one thing and therefore it brings
meaning to everything. It brings unity
to everything. It makes it all one
entity and therefore it is oh so
important. You can't be without it. Even
though you could say it's playing let's
say an invisible role, one that's
transparent.
It's the cup that contains everything.
Even though it's not the substance
itself, but it in essence is everything.
Beautiful muscle, I'll tell you from
the parents got have got it all
together. They're ready for their son
who is becoming a katan to get ready.
They bought one of the They rented out
one of the most expensive halls and they
fixed it up. Tens of thousands if not
hundreds of thousands of dollars. They
got the festivities ready. A sevenpiece
band. Beautiful. The food. Wow. Gourmet.
This is the top of the delicacies.
Everyone's excited. The best of his
friends. All of his friends are there.
Every family member under the sun is
here. We're talking about 5 600 people
that are going to be here eating
incredible food from the first to the
last meal. The band is ready.
Everything's going. The is up. The
flowers are all over the place.
Fantastic. And everybody's ready to go.
The calls in and he says, "I'm not
showing up. I can't make it. I'm not
coming." Or he push ditches.
Now what? I I I just put everything
together. What are you saying? I don't
understand. So a guy gets up and says,
"No, who needs him? Let's enjoy
ourselves. Get the band going. Let's go.
Let's eat. This is great food. Let's go.
What's going on? Are you mashuga? Are
you Are you okay? Is there something
wrong with you? The whole idea of this
meal is around this person over here,
the it's all about the bride and the
groom. If they're not here, there is
nothing. There's eff here. I The guy
says, "But he's doing nothing. This he's
walking in with his tie. What is he
doing? He didn't do anything. You paid
hundreds of thousands of dollars. You're
the one who made this banquet. We're all
here. Let's go. What do we need him
for?" But when the does finally show up
and if he finally shows up, suddenly the
whole meal turns into from a piece of
meat to audit.
It's not just music that's happening.
Even the the benching that you do after
it's not benching, it's a benching. It's
aim
it's a tremendous amount of sim this if
I could say passive useless back of the
scenes personal
that just walted into the suda ended up
making the whole entire suda they were
the ones that did it that's what malut
is all about that's the idea of mutes
all the shea from all the places and
puts it all together and makes beauty
out of it makes it an edifice it just
makes everything excited. It brings
excitement to the air. That's what malut
is about. And if we speak about Shabbat,
you got it already. If you can
understand what I'm saying, Shabbat,
Mal, that's what Shabbat is all about.
It takes six days of the week, each one
of those days separate. And the seventh
day, Shabbat, Malut is number seven.
Shabbat is also number seven. It puts it
all together into one spot. It puts all
the pieces together by what? Yes, we're
passive. We don't do work. We don't
drive and it's hard. We don't look at
our iPhones, okay? We don't. We make it.
We're able to pull it off. And by doing
that, all of that passive actually
becomes active work. We bring the into
the world.
It brings to the
Why? By me doing nothing, I bring
blessing into the world. Yes. Because
you're bringing it all together. All
that energy gets sucked up into one k
one vessel and fantastic you now have
Shabbat shalom. It is the Shabbat which
brings shalom which brings absolute
peace to the world. It brings a a status
of perfection. You remember what I told
you n 250 maybe against the 250 years of
America. But the idea of lighting nar is
for what? Why do we light a candle? For
shalom
shalom it's all about shalom. Shabbat is
of bringing everything together.
When I make myself transparent, when I
don't make myself everything, then I'm
able to receive everything. The thicker
I am, the thicker my skin is, the
thicker I'm more I'm into myself. I
don't allow for other things to come in.
How much Coca-Cola could you put in your
cup? It depends how big your cup is. You
want more, make it, have a bigger cup.
The more transparent I am, the more I'm
willing to receive from other people,
the more that there is a I become mal I
become a recipient. That's what Shabbat
is. I remove myself and I bring all the
shea all the blessing into the world.
That's how I'm able to bring the
blessing into the world. And that's why
Shabbat is the time of Shabbat. Shalom
of Shalom. That's why lighting the nare
is n to bring shalom by it. All fights
in the house is about one thing. The
more I'm into the me, myself and I, the
more I make myself an entity, the more
I'm only thinking about myself, that's
where all the fights come. You want true
happiness in the house. It's time to
make yourself a vessel. Open up. Make
yourself a cle to receiving. And that's
why this Shabbat, the Shabbat, the last
Shabbat of Omar is also Shabbat and it's
also Mal. It's Mal. It's the mid of
Malut. It's the it's the sphere that we
call the the emanation of Malut together
with Shabbat altogether. And both of
those mean the same thing. to remove
myself, to go ahead and resist, to not
do any Shabbat, and to go ahead and have
Shal with my spouse, to go ahead and put
myself a little bit in the background.
And you will receive everything.
Everything will come together. It will
all come together. And that is the
greatest oneness that a person can
receive. And that is why this Shabbat
always leads to the one holiday where we
advertise that we sat underneath the
mountain.
We all stood together as one person as
one as one people from all the other
holidays. We barely speak about this
idea specifically when we receive the
Torah. We speak about it because that is
what it was all about to bring the melik
to bring king into the world to bring
Hashem into the world. You have to
remove yourself. Go back a little bit.
Receive the Torah. Not everything I want
I have to get. I can also say no
sometimes. I can also say no to myself.
Sometimes if I push myself out a little
bit and leave room for other people,
suddenly you can light Shabbat. You'll
have shalom. Suddenly you'll have a
Shabbat of Shalom. You'll have a Shabbat
of peace. Then you will be able to
receive the Torah on the of. And that's
why is the final sphere of the sphere
right before we go into this beautiful
holiday of make yourself a little bit
transparent. Don't make yourself nothing
or lose a that's not what I meant at
all. We understand that and makes
yourself enough with being into myself
because that is the source of all
divorces. The source of all problems and
removals is when I'm only thinking about
myself as an individual and forgetting
about the other side. That's what
Shabbat teaches us. That's what Mu
teaches us. And that's what this
transparency teaches us in order to be
successful. And that's the idea of
keeping the Shabbat. Donald Trump knew
what he was talking about. You want to
call him a mel. I don't know. I don't
know if I want to say but he acts like a
king that's for sure. But this idea that
he's coming on purpose he spoke out on
this Shabbat because the Melik is
telling us the king is telling us to
bring Mal the real to the world the I'll
end with a quick story. There was
someone in Saratkin over here in Shalim
an elderly couple that lived on the
fourth floor and she saw across the
street from her. That's how it is here
in Israel. you see across the street,
what can you do? That there was a new
couple that moved into a small apartment
over there and she noticed week after
week that the woman, the new Kyla, the
new lady that moved into the house was
putting out the laundry and it was full
of spots and spots and spots all the
time. She goes, "Oh, she's a young girl.
Maybe I should go ahead and teach her."
She kept saying, "Okay, one day I'm
going to go over and teach her how to do
the laundry." Poor lady. After 2 and 1/2
months, she noticed that the laundry was
getting clean. So, she told her husband,
"Oh, you see, she's getting much
better." That's how it is here in
Israel. And everybody knows everybody's
business. And she goes, "Oh, look. She's
already her spot. There's no more spots
on the clothing. I see that things are
getting much better over there." He
goes, "Honey, I hate to tell you, but I
just cleaned the windows." Meaning the
spots she was seeing was on her own
windows. It wasn't on the laundry across
the street. Sometimes it's the problem
is the spots on our windows. Mal says,
"Clean the windows. Make it transparent.
Be a mirror image." And then you will be
appreciated. Then you will reach the
dark of Shabbat. You'll reach the mid of
Shalom. And by keeping this one Shabbat,
all of Israel together, we will have a
real
The late Akad to Isakad.
