Transformation creates a New Light higher than infinity A Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on siddhis we are learning this week a very special catholic discourse the name of the hasidic discourse is named after the first two words in the torah called voracious boro this is a civic discourse that was said by the rebbe in his actual private study on matsuya shabas right after shabbat shabbas practices gracious in the year tough shin la medhas which is exactly 40 year 43 years ago so the rebbe begins a discourse based on the first verse in the torah where it says borashis bharara elokim in the beginning hashem created as the shamayim the heaven and the essarets and the earth so right away rashi brings a madrish and he quotes the madras from ravitzhak ravitzhak says that seemingly the torah should have started not from the beginning of the creation because the fact is that we know the torah is not a history book the torah is to guide us in our life when do we become a jewish people in the land of egypt as we're getting ready to leave to go to mount sinai to receive the torah and over there hashem instructed moisture to give us the first mitzvah what was the first mitzvah the darshan this month the month of nisan the month he went out of egypt became the first month for the jewish people on the jewish calendar is only the seventh month later on so the question is why doesn't the tourist start us becoming a nation and our first mitzvah and rebutak says as follows because hashem wanted to establish something and make a disclaimer that kayak massob he wanted to establish who created the world hashem created the world so hashem created the world who's the owner of the world hashem who decides who gets what in the world hashem decides so since hashem decides who gets what so he chose initially that seven nations should occupy the land of israel and then at some point hashem decided no he wants the jewish people to have the land of israel he told us to conquer the land of israel and we were successful now what's going to happen is there's always someone to come along say hey we're thieves we stole the land of israel why because at one point we weren't living there and hashem says right in the beginning remember who created the world hashem created the world who allowed the seven nations to live there hashem and hashem decided for the jewish people to to to enter into the land of israel and he gave it to us as a gift and that's why even though the terrorists seemingly should have started with telling us what our first mitzvah is but nevertheless the torah starts off with the history of the world to tell us that hashem created the world and therefore hashem can give the world to anyone that he wants that's the simple understanding of rashi the madrid on the first verse in the torah the river brings from the all the different different khabar rebellion over over over the years that explain on a spiritual level what's the whole idea kabbalistically why hashem chose to start the voracious brother the creation of the world and not with so the question is what's the logic why would you put the first myths for first and the answer they explain as follows is made up of two words which kabbalistically represents what does savage and mali mean so slave is referring to a powerful light now again something that's so powerful means it's really powerful we can't touch it we can't feel it it's huge it's awesome but it's good to know we have a big light we have a source of light slave it's very powerful so the the power of slave that's that's awesome that the con is that we can't necessarily internalize it on the other hand there's something which is called malay the a light that we could eternalize but on the other hand because we can internalize it there's no hooha there's no wu so in life you want to have always both you want surveys something that you can always try to attain higher and higher but you also want in malaysia things that you can actually attain and as long as you have the healthy balance between slave there's always more to reach malay things that you reach and you internalize you appreciate that creates a very healthy balance of finding peace contentment and happiness and satisfaction but then you want to always have the dream so slave is really about the dream of life so represents mali how does that work because in the sv wrote the 10th sphere of starting with uh nadas all the way down to malchus represents is on the spiritual level because it's one of the spherical especially it's the lower spheroid it's a level of mammalia on the other hand that's true has there this one so represents this it's a it's a revelation what kind of revelation so in the world of kabbalah it's the revelation of the sphere of you specifically aside the one that feeds light into mahrus and also za or the six midot so is the union between seve calamine all the six middle and isoid and mali kalamim is the sphere of of malchus and those two are connected together so what does that mean practically that what the goal is that in mali calamin it was in in our life we should have the revelation of hazel which is obviously much higher which is the idea of savior calamine so therefore so therefore based on this definition of representing the idea to draw down surveyed into this world to draw down this powerful awesome energy into this world so based on this the question is why don't we start the tour with ahoy which represents drawing in from save drawing in this powerful light into this world because we know the ultimate goal of learning torah and doing mitch voice is to create the union of mali which means we're living in a physical world this world hashem is here on the other hand every time you learn torah every time you do a mitzvah you're drawing down save a powerful light into this world so since our whole purpose in this world is to draw down a pat more a higher authority a higher light saving into this world which is through torah mitzvahs which is that represents that so the question is why doesn't the torah start with akhidasha now going to take this up a notch what what does that mean we're drawing down soy wave a higher light into this world so rubber explains as follows we're going to go to the original the source the source of save so we know we're going to give another introduction so it'll be easy to understand when hashem originally created the world so before hashem created the world what existed only hashem in the words of kabbalah it's called saif there was the infinite light and the only thing that existed was infinite infinite light now in the world of infinite is there room for a finite world impossible if it's infinite you can't have finite if finite touches the infinite it disappears so in order for hashem to create a finite world in the words of kabbalah there had to be something which is called a tsim tsum rishan the first level of a contraction of light so another the way it worked was as follows before hashem created the world the infinite light's the only thing that existed what did hashem do he created that symptom the first symptom were accomplished there should be an empty space there was nothing there not infinite light not finite light nothing in kabbalah it talks about how did that space exist but that's another discussion there was a kiss that you saw a very very fine membrane of energy to allow the space to exist but from a practical perspective think about a a room that's totally filled up and all of a sudden you want to bring in new things how are you going to bring something in new so you have to create an empty space once you have an empty space you can choose what to bring in so the first level of tim some region is to create an empty space that is the first thing hashem did now what happens once hashem created this empty space you have nothing so hashem draw down which we call in the kabbalah akav a very very finite light and from the finite light hashem used the light to create the world now once hashem created the world now we have the world which gets its energy from the light now there's two parts of the world there's the light in the world and there's the there's the concealment in the world so the concealment of the world the oil the world the the concealment of the world actually comes from the simpson from the empty space the light that's in the world comes from the cave that draws down the light now when a person goes ahead and learns toro and does a mitzvah you're actually drawing down from the infinite light before the timsum let's let's let's repeat this because it's a little it might be a little complicated again before hashem created the world the only thing existed was an infinite light then hashem went ahead and he created an empty space in the empty space he draw down a light from the empty space that's the source of the concealment of the world and from the car from the from the light that's the source of the light in the world now we're living in this world so we have a finite likeness in this world we're finite we're finite human beings everything is finite when we learn torah and we do mitzvos we actually draw down from the infinite light before the simpson and there are brings from a famous uh capitalist called the emeka melech and he says as follows that when a hashem initially created the world there was again that simpson reassuring there was total concealment and what was left was an empty space from the empty space again that's the source of all the vessels in the world anytime you have a vessel you have a empty space you have darkness you have concealment you have the physical existence of the world that comes from the simpson then what does the torah tell us hashem began in the garden of eden so it says in the torah so what does that mean love allah to to to work it and to watch it so in kabbalah it says referring to the observance of the 248 positive commandments every single time we do a mitzvah if it's under the category of the positive commandments or 248 positive commandments that cut that that we're doing the work of then you have the shamrock which any time we refrain from one of these 365 negative precepts we are shaumbra we're watching the garden and that's our avoid in this world now why did hashem put us here again after to do the 248 commandments to stay away from the 365 negative commandments and every time we do that you know what happens we actually draw in from the light from before the simpson from the infinite light which is very powerful if you think about it we're living in a dark world spiritually but guess what we can up the light it's like we have a dimmer we can make the the light brighter how can we make the light brighter by learning torah by praying by doing a mitzvah any positive commandments brings in enlightenment's world what light an infinite light anytime you refrain from transgressing so it's hard maybe it's hard it's hard to refrain some some negative priests are tempting but when you refrain you're actually drawing in a very powerful light so we have the power the power to draw in light but not a finite light an infinite light from before the simpson now what's going to happen is when the shia comes and everyone's going to do the work until mashiach that's what you see now before mashiach is coming more and more people are learning are praying are doing mitzvoth the balchuva movement is huge all over the world all my colleagues tell me in every khabar house there's more people coming to classes and events and prayer services and people why because everyone is excited about what the infinite light if you have the infinite light who needs finite light and when someone does a mitzvah they feel the electricity of the infinite light or you refrain and you feel the electricity from the infinite light it's huge so as every single person in the world does another mitzvah and another mitzvah and we refrain god from this from sinning where we're actually those which bringing in this powerful infinite light and then when mashiach comes you know what's going to happen the revelation of the infinite light is going to be totally fulfil filled that initial space that hashem emptied to draw down this finite light is going to be filled not with a finite light it's going to be filled with an infinite light so based on this the amer khamenek explains in kabbalah that's why the torah should have not started the way it started with gracious barolo kim but actually it should have started with what why because hashem created the world so this came what after the symptom and a finite link came in so what light existed in the world break when hashem originally created or what light existed in the world the finite light from the finite light that came into this world but we have the power through learning torah and doing mitzvot we can draw in which light not a finite light the infinite light from the before the symptom so seemingly since we have the power to bring in this infinite light why tell us about creation of the world creation of the world is about the finite light when we can bring in the infinite light so based on that kabbalistically the exp the question is why does the torah start with my saberaces the creation of the world once which is only bringing in the finite light into the world if it would start with which is referring to into mali bringing in the infinite light which eventually will all be revealed when mashiach comes it should have started with with the high stakes we're bringing in the infinite light from before the symptom so that's really the question from a kabbalistic respect cabalistic perspective why do we start with braces we should start with which makes sense who wants to who wants the finite light we all want the infinite light infinite light it's infinite so the question is if that's the case if the infinite light is so powerful so the argument why just talk with yourself make sense so why does the torah start with braces now what's the simple answer the simple answer is that oh because hashem wanted us and the world to know who created the world and therefore when hashem will give us the land of israel there's no one can argue because someone created the free gave it to us but what does that mean kabbalistically on a spirit on a spiritual officer explain just follow us what we just say this is drawing in the infinite light before the tensor and that would have been huge so therefore if we're saying accomplishes to draw in the infinite light that existed before the symptom but hashem chose to start with bereishis because he wanted to tell us hashem's power that hashem has the power to give it to the nations of the world and then he's choosing to give it to the jewish people the land of israel because when because by us doing our work in this physical world is actually higher than drawing down the light which existed before the symptom wow it's pretty heavy think about this so far what do we know we know that before hashem created the world the infinite light was all over hashem created a concealment draw down a light through terror amidst race we can bring in that original light but now we're saying hashem says no no gracious boro there's something that we can do to draw in a higher light that that hashem started out with how does that work and thereby explains like this because the sole purpose of learning toyota and doing mit's voice is not to be back at square one to draw in the infinite light but to draw in i'll say it in hebrew and then i'll translate it er a new light a light that never existed the light that existed the infinite before that everybody existed so we're go we're back to square one if we do toyotas the goal is not to be back at square one the goal is to draw in a new light the light of the essence of the infinite light which is higher than the light that originally filled the empty space think about this again the goal is we should draw in a new light a light which is more powerful and greater than the infinite light that originally filled the empty space how do we accomplish that and the answer is we don't accomplish that by learning torah and doing mitus which is great we accomplish it by specifically i'll say it in hebrew and i'll translate it by something which is called avoid the work of transformation in other words like this when a person learns torah but when a person does a mitzvah you're drawing in light what light the light that exists the infinite light it's amazing it's huge as you should learn terror all day you should do mixes all day and you refrain from sinning it's amazing you're drawing an infinite light but that all existed before and that's that's one it's a great level here the river saying is based on kabbalah that when a person does avoid when a person transforms when a person elevates holy sparks that are buried in the materialistic world then you create a new light and we'll soon explain more in depth what that is and how that is so another like this there's a tremendous power in the work of the creation of the physical world that we're able to create a brand new light how do we do that by avoiding the subaru so there are explains as follows that initially when hashem created the world so beginning of genesis speaks about different uh king kings that they they existed and they died and so on and so forth so according to kabbalah it says like this that there were seven kings seven kings not kings in the world of tikkun but actually kings in the world of toyu what what does that mean like this let's talk about toyo and ticker tikkun means every vessel has a light that fits in it to you the world of toyo means there's too much light for the vessel so for example you have an eight ounce cup and you put in eight ounce water it's wonderful you drink the eight ounces and life is good but once you have an eight ounce cup and also you with pressure you put in 100 ounces a thousand ounces you bust the cup so initially when hashem created the world in general speaks out the kings that he created and they died there were seven different kings that from the world of toyo which is very very powerful energy but but there was no vessel to contain it so they so there's holy sparks that's all over the world and hashem initially gave power and rulership to these seven nations to occupy the land of israel then hashem decided for whatever reason because he's god he can do whatever he wants that the jewish people should have the power to transform and inherit the land of israel and by going into the place where there's the powerful energy from the seven kings from the world of tolu that we're occupying the land of israel we are able to draw in a brand new light and when we accomplish elevating the whole the all the older worlds and again we have to remember world by definition is concealment that means concealed means anytime you say oil world you talk about concealment that means god exists but hashem is concealed and we know there's four there's there's four worlds atsilos which means god's revealed close to hashem brian is more of a concealment you'd see her more of a concealment a see a more of a concealment and every one of the wee's world hashem exists but there's more of a concealment when we when we look through the concealment and we find in in the world of the concealment where hashem is seemingly separated from the world and we look for hashem we find hashem we elevate the holy sparks that are there and again specifically in the land of the seven nations the world and land of israel and we transform the world we transform the land of israel to eretz israel the land that belongs to hashem that by doing those avoid the sabirim that's how we create a brand new light so in other words like this what rabbi is saying is as follows there we draw down the light from the from before the simpson which existed before but any time we do something which is called avoid this habirim that means we elevate holy sparks we get involved in the world which seemingly is dark and seemingly hashem is not the ear and we find hashem we're it seems like he's not there that's called the voice of when we find hashem think about this when you learn torah you're drawing in light terror is light when you do a mitzvah you're drawing in light mitzvah is light but what happens if you're in a place where hashem is concealed the only thing you see is darkness the only thing you see is negativity hate animosity jealousy all the negative things in the world you say oh my gosh swash not here so it seems like hashem is not dead but we all know hashem is everywhere if you're able to find hashem dear now because you look didn't look like a sham you're almost like creating a new hashem god forbid from a concealed to revealed way so you're actually drawing in a brand new light that didn't even exist before so another was like this hashem when he gave the land of israel before he gave it to the jewish people hashem with his own will decided to give it to them for whatever reason and he gave it time for a set time but what was his goal afterwards to take it away from them and he gave it to the jewish people but guess what you're dealing with a world that's dark you're not dealing with the world that god has revealed but the fact is if we take on a clutter a resolution a strong resolution that we are going to look for hashem we're going to find hashem we're going to reveal hashem so we actually elevate and transform the seven nations of the world not only the seven nations of the world actually the whole world and the goal is that we should make the whole world should be a dwelling place for hashem so anytime you come to a place where hashem is not revealed and you make a blessing or you come to a place and there's no shul and you pray there or you do a mitzvah there you sit down and you learn torah there you're revealing hashem there you are revealing hashem in a place where hashem was not revealed and you're actually drawing them not only from the light that existed before the infinite light before the symptom you're actually drawing down a brand new light now there's something very powerful so you're gonna say oh my gosh it's so hard it's difficult and everyone's saying the whole world looks at you what are you doing what are you like what are you being busy with the trying to transform the world you know you're robbers i mean the world is a concealed world it's not a shams world but the fact is it really is hashem's world because we know hashem created everything and not only that the sole purpose of the concealment is so that i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate it will be from the concealment from the darkness you should search at hashem when you come to a place that judaism is thriving whether it's in jerusalem or other parts of the world where you know you have everything luxurious on a jewish level so hashem is revealed there but you come to a place like that we live in fort myers are revealed in every part of fort myers but you come and you say no hashem exists and it's about bringing hashem's light into wherever we're at we'll be casting from where we are we have to look and we have to find hashem in every concealment every place where it seems like hashem's not there like there ever gives an example of mashal of a father a father a mother parent that um you want to see if your child is wise so what do you do you hide why you're hiding you you don't play with your kid you don't play with your children no because you want to see is my children going to look for me or they're gonna forget about me gonna go play with the toys all right dad's not here mom's not here no no because i a parent wants to see is my child gonna look for me so the parent hides that's the goal to godford hyde and they want to stay in hiding their whole life they hide to see if the child's going to look for them and when they stay in hiding and the child goes and looks for them he said where are you they feel good and eventually the child finds the parent and that union is amazing the same thing with hashem hashem is concealed all over the world not because hashem is running away from us so that we should look for him and as the torah says clearly and the torah promises the torah promises that when we go ahead we'll be casting we look for hashem we are from the concealment the torah says for sure um you will find the shrimps don't have to be worried i'm going to look i'm going to go out in the search i'm looking for a shaman to go in the darkest places everyone's going to think i'm nuts and i'll never find the sham the answer to her says no no look and you will find and now you'll find we'll be able to conquer the world and will make the world a dwelling place for hashem up until the point as the prophet says the whole world will be transformed and they will have one language what one language that we're all going to serve the one hashem and hashem will ultimately be the only unique king over the world and that's the avoider of voracious boro the avoid is to know that hashem created the world hashem is all over the world and our avoid is to look for hashem and if we look for hashem and when we look for hashem we will find hashem and we find hashem we're finding something new because it was concealed and we're actually drawing down a greater light than before and that's why even though we're beginning we're excited we're drawing down the infinite light that's great that's wonderful that hashem has something more in store for us but just borrow hashem wants us to join a light that never even existed before and that happens through us looking for hashem and ever finishes off this acidic discourse in a beautiful way and he says this follows we know that um after shabbat breaches we just finished the whole month it was a beautiful month of rosh hashanah yum kippur circus schmidt series torah and now we're gonna have shaba sparacious everyone's on a high and the spirit a spiritual high i mean it was amazing man they're showing the blood in the show fresh and forgave us with the simhan family and friends and community even with the covert challenges people had a spiritually a tremendous uplifting month but what happens after such a month we want another month of tishrei who wouldn't want another month of tishrei but the fact is we know tishrei is over over what does that mean history is over so everyone knows but sorry shabbos shabbos precious there's an announcement that's made the yaakov which means yaakov eve has to go on his path what kind of path he's going back to the real world and he has to deal with the world every single week every single month every day of the year so you think to yourself oh my gosh i'm going into the world i was in such a high who wants to deal with the world who wants to deal the world of concealment however you're not afraid why because you go the better you go you're sure on your path and you go not only you go you're sure you're going to succeed to bring godliness to the world but you go with simcha with joy to evolve and gladness of heart and will that's a once a year material exploration but the fact is every single saturday night there's a famous um song that people sing even though it's not saying but it's still a jewish custom that people sing al-tira of the yakov don't be afraid why all of a sudden after shabbat we start singing don't be afraid because we all know that every single shabbat we all have an extra soul we have a we have during the week we have one godly soul but in shabbos we get like turbo charged with another godly soul we have an ashram yasara and after shabbos then the show may say release and now you have to not only does it leave but now you have to go deal with the world six days six days of the week to work and you have to elevate sparks in in in the physical world so that we sing them every single month don't be afraid don't be afraid to engage in the world and by not being afraid that gives you the power and the strength to deal with the world now why not why shouldn't you be afraid think about shabbos a whole shabbos you had this extra summer and you were in your shul and you with your family and almost like a spiritual resort the month of tishrei was like you're on a spiritual high why shouldn't you be afraid and the answer is because the torah says tells us because hashem goes with you going into the world that's it hashem says goodbye i'm not with you no no even every week when you're going to the world hashem is with you and because hashem is with you there's no reason to be afraid and every single person even if you're on the level of yaakov where the the the the light is not necessarily bright and shining but in every single place and every single time in every situation whether it's during the week and you're dealing with physical things you have to remember and you have to feel it and you have to know it that hashem is with you not only hashem is with you you're actually a partner with hashem why are you a partner hashem because just like hashem created this world when we look for hashem we reveal hashem every single day and every single moment we are actually bringing in a new light to this world and by doing our avodah again key word the key condition is avoid this we're taking places that hashem is not there we're transforming it and making hashem a reality there we make hashem we give ourselves a real dwelling place that hashem is revealed and we're creating something new in this world and that's why shabbos gracious the beginning of the year the shabbas who read the gracious barrio came hashem created the heaven and the earth and through that there was a creation of everything from brand new not just it just happened once it's a brand new creation until we'll merit to see we know mashiach comes brand new heavens brand new earth but most importantly we can accomplish the same thing hashem accomplished on a spiritual level by doing our avodah so i think this discourse is a very very powerful discourse because it first of all it shows us what we can accomplish every song every time we learn torah every time we do a mitzvah we draw in this infinite light but more importantly when we do our avodah of avoidance of transforming the world taking the most concealed and darkest places and specifically from the earth from the darkness where hashem is not revealed but kashmisham you return to hashem you bring hashem in there we actually bring in brand new lights that never existed and when you're bringing in brand new infinite lights guess what you're in the light so let's hope and pray that we each have the the strength from alteria of the yaakov to know that hashem is with us and as long as we know hashem is with us we'll be successful in bringing in new and great light into the world have a great and blessed week and lots of success in making this world a true dwelling place for hashem
