We're going to dedicate this class to
the elevation of the soul of Shosana
Flora
Maruta Maruta. I'm hoping I'm
pronouncing it right. But nama should
have an
aliyah and was also dedicated anonymous
to some few individuals for them to have
the merit to do chuva. But hashem knows
who we're talking about is needs to do.
So, we want to talk a little bit about
the
omare and there's a lot of questions
about it and a lot of things that people
are not aware what's really going on in
the
omare and we hear all these rules not to
take haircuts, not to buy things, not to
do, not to travel, not to initiate new
things. There's all sorts of rules what
to do and what not to do. But really
what is the ome?
So we're going to talk today very
general about what the ome is and in the
next couple weeks we'll talk more in
depth. But what can be achieved and what
do I really need to focus on but the om
where it originates it's a period of of
journeys. It's a period of walking.
And at the time when the Jews left Mitim
they left Egypt going into Mount Si they
had 49 days of journeys and they were
walking with their feet. So this entire
period is a is a period of a journey
that I'm going from one place to another
place to another place and the way I do
it is in the motion of of walking and
I'm going from one place to another and
this is in the period between pesak and
shabot and it's the time of of 49 days
that I have to go in steps in levels and
every day I go to another level and
another level and these levels are
called gates.
Shim you notice that when we count the
gates of impurity we say there are 49
gates of impurity we don't say levels we
say
gates and the levels that I have to go
through the entire is every day I go up
one level or you can look at it in a
different way that every day a gate
opens and I'm going through the gate
into the next level but the entire time
is a period of a journeys is and I have
to internalize that this is the time
when I have the opportunity to go on the
journey of my life and it's a time of
refinement and a time of growth. Now the
is we called it for coming from the word
of counting but also comes from the word
sapil. appil is to
enlight. If you remember when we learned
about the ark of Noah, it's talking
about that it had a window on the top
and our sages argue if it was actually a
window because it says that the window
brought light into the ark. So there's
an argument in our sages whether it was
a window that brought in the light and
some of the sages say it wasn't an
window rather it was a stone that is
called sappiril like a sapphire and this
stone was like a it lit up the ark and
it brought light into the ark cuz when
you're thinking of it a whole year
they're in a closed ark there wasn't
windows there and it was three levels
meaning that it should be totally dark
now you can't really light fire because
the ark was made out of wood and not
only that I mean there's no ventilation
where would the smoke go to meaning that
there was some way that the ark was lit
up and that was lit up with this stone
that is called sappir sappir lights up
so the
words you can explain it as counting but
it's also enlighting brings a certain
light into the universe and what do we
count we Count the days in a calculation
of 7 *
7 and even when we repeat it we go to
the and we will go through all the that
are 7*
7. So the structure is a 7 *
7 and this uh number seven this is the
the structure the foundation of the
world is built on the number seven you
have seven days of creation. Everything
comes in
sevens. Even when they when when Noah
brought in the animals into the ark we
talked about Noah he brought seven
animals that are kosher. He bought seven
of them and everything goes around the
seven. We have seven spir. We have seven
gates to our body. Two eyes, two
nostrils, two ears and a mouth. We find
this seven repeating itself all the
time. And the whole period of Omar is
that every day a new light is being
revealed into the world. And I have to
tap into it. I have to channel myself
into this time to be able to receive
some of this light. Now what comes above
seven comes the number eight and eight
is above nature. Nature we see that the
the world was created in seven days.
Everything has seven if you notice it.
Even in simple things like the the
chords in music, you
have you don't have a eighth chord and
Mashia is going to come, we're actually
going to have an eighth chord cuz really
when you think of it, why do we have
only seven
chords? So even when we know that when
Mashiach is going to come then the
violin that Mashiach is going to have is
going to be an eight chord violin.
So the number eight represents above the
nature and the number eight represents
the sphere that is called bina. We spoke
about it just before that in the
structure of the spir one way of looking
of it is that you have the intellect the
mo
is the acronym
of but one way
of looking at it is that it's
counted without the dot which means that
bina is the next closest to the rest of
the midot.
Now Vina we explained before it's the
spir that is called imma. This is how
it's called in
cababala. And the mother the sphere of
bina it births the shea the abundance
into the
midot. That's the whole concept of mikv
because the mikv is rejuvenating the
power that comes from the sphere of
bina. That's why you see that the mikvah
has to have a certain measurement of
water that is
called 40 say what is this 40 is there
are 40
gates the 40 gates of bina and the whole
motion of bina something that resembles
the concept of mikv is a womb and the
baby is in the mother's womb in water so
for 9 months the baby's in water it
doesn't eat doesn't drink. It's totally
nourished by the mother. Whatever the
mother eats, the baby gets. The mother
is upset, the baby will get the nerves,
the the negative energy. The mother is
all happy and joyful. Then the baby will
get it. The baby is 100% nourished by
the mother and very easy is in
water. Doesn't need to eat. He's with
his eyes open, the mouth is open, all
the all all the gates of the body are
open. The miracle here is all the gates
that are open when we're
alive, they're closed while the baby's
in the womb. And the other way around,
whatever is closed in our life is open
in the womb. So the baby's eyes are open
in the womb. His mouth is open, the nose
is open, nothing, the water doesn't come
in. The second the baby comes out to the
world, then the neim, the holes that are
open, they seal. And the ones that are
sealed open like the the rectum and the
the some other holes that's when they
open when they go out of the womb.
So we see that the the the concept of
the baby being in the womb, this is is a
manifestation of the nama being
nourished by the sphere of bina which
means that whenever I get disconnected
from bina I have to get this
rejuvenation back. And this is the
concept of mikvah because in the cycle
when the woman has her cycle spiritually
she gets disconnected from the sp
ofina. And what she needs to do is she
needs to go to the mikvah to get go back
to its source and to connect her nama
back to its source where she gets her
abundance. That's why women are more
obligated in the in the mitzvah of being
of mitzvah of mikv because a man doesn't
have the cycle. The woman has the cycle
because that's one of the curses that
Kava got in the in the curses after the
sin. The Adamarishon got 10 curses. Kava
got 10 curses and the snake got 10
curses. And the land got nine curses
totaling 39. So the 39, this is off the
subject, but the 39 labors that were
prohibited on Shabbat, that's the source
of it. And people wonder, what is these
prohibitions? Why we're not allowed to
do 39 labors on
Shabbat? Then the source for it comes
because of the curses that Adamava the
snake and the land got cursed. And
that's how we do the tikun. This is
what's called the
tikun. So one of the curses that kava
got kava is known as Eve but we call her
kava. That by the way her name was
actually kaya. It wasn't kava. Her
original name was kaya. A lot of people
they now it's a more common name to name
their daughter Kaya and people wonder
where this name came from. So the name
came because the original woman the
first woman in the world her name was
Kaya and it says in the
Torah later on when she sinned then her
name changed to for two reasons. First
of all the after the sin Adam he
divorced he divorced her. He gave her a
get and he told her, "I don't want to be
your husband anymore because you made me
sin." So for 130 years, Adam and Kava
were split. And in this time came the
snake and he
told her name was Kaya, "Now that you
are on the market, you are single right
now and there's nobody else here, I'm
going to marry you."
and snake in Aramaic is called. And he
told her, "My name is so your name
should be should be changed." The
teachings of Kaval explained to us that
she damaged the youth of the youth of
the name of
Hemudk by doing her sin. And since she
had that U in her possession, her name
was and then the Yudke, she damaged the
U. So the ud was pulled into the kipa
and formed a vav out of it. So instead
of a yud making it became a vav and made
her a kava. So but her original name was
kaya. One of the curses that she got was
the cycle that she has to have her cycle
once a month that the blood will become
impure and the blood will come out of
out of her. That's one of the way of
fixing it.
So the way to to go back to its original
state is to go into a mikvah because the
mikvah has the power of bringing the
nama back into the sphere of bina and
men they're not obligated in a mikvah
but they still do it because men also
damage their their nishama by pulling it
away from its source and the source of
abundance is the sphere of bina which
means that when I need to be rejuvenated
spiritually I have to go I have to go to
my source also automatically after being
with a woman. Is it doesn't she doesn't
he has to or he has to after being with
having Yeah. But this is more a takana.
It's not a It's not
a
a man Yes. a man after he's with his
wife mar with having marital relations,
he has to go to the mikvah because he
has sperm on him. And you can't say
Torah words with a little bit with sperm
on your body. So of course, but this is
not a this is not a from the Torah. What
happens to a man? He lives in the middle
of nowhere. He's not going to find the
mikvah. So I know I have a few friends
that they're they're they're rabbis in
different shs. I have a friend in South
America and in India, they don't have a
mikvah there. So they go to the ocean or
they go to the just to a pool. But with
me, men don't say no men do not say in
the mikvah. But the the the right way of
doing it is that a man after he has
relations with his wife is to go to the
mikvah because he has some sperm on it.
And it's not the right way to say words
of Torah and to pray when he's not 100%
clean. But it's not a must. A man is
only obligated to go once a year to the
mikvah. And that's onipur. And if a man
can't find his way to the mikvah after
he's been with his wife, then he can
take even a long shower. As long as
there's 13 L of water washing him, it's
almost as equivalent to a mikvah. And I
travel a lot. There's no mikvas where I
go. I jump in people's pools. So, it's
not the same effect. Not too long ago, I
was in a in a in a tour and I end up in
Phoenix in Arizona and there wasn't a
mikvah there. And then I said, "It's
Shabbat. I want to go to the mikvah."
And they were like, they felt
uncomfortable. What should we do? So, I
was like, "Is there anybody here with a
pool?" "Yeah, of course." So I said,
"Okay, let's go to the pool." So some
brave men were like, "Okay, we'll go
with you." And it was January and even
though it's Phoenix, it was still ice
cold. And I just walked into the pool. I
take my bathing suit off and I use the
pool as a mikvah. And they jump after me
and they're like, "What are this guys?
I'm crazy person." So a man is not
obligated, but it's the right thing to
do. Needless to say that the baltov
explains that even before that the and
many other mystical teachings that it's
good for a man to go every day to the
mikvah because the mikvah is so powerful
if a person would know the power of a
mikvah he was not going to leave the
mikvah and if a woman would know what a
mikvah does to her she would never even
miss the mitzvah of mikvah and I know
it's personal but I always give this
example that when I became religious and
I started affecting my parents at some
point I told my Mom, I know you might be
uncomfortable what I'm about to tell
you, but have you been to the mikvah?
And she was like, well, I've been to the
mikvah the night before I got married.
And I was like, have you ever been to
the mikvah after that? And she was like,
never. So I told her, you have to go to
the mikvah. So she told me, but I don't
have my cycle anymore. I I'm close to
being 70. So there's nothing to do with
it. From the last time you had your
cycle, you didn't go to the mikvah. you
have a very strong impurity on you and
believe it or not it affects me and my
siblings. It affects your kids. So you
have to go to the mikvah. And it was uh
not so easy to can tell my father that
she has to go to the mikvah. And they
went they did the whole thing. They were
separated for 7 weeks and she did the
whole thing. And she went to the mikvah
in her late
60s. And she said that it was the most
amazing experience she ever had and she
was like, I I went out. I felt like a a
rock was removed off me.
So when a person really understands the
power of mik, then they don't want to
lose that. And a man even though he's
not obligated, a man can take a a a long
shower, but for a man even to go every
day to the mikvet that what it does to
their soul, to their brain, to their
body is unbelievable.
So the point is we don't want to talk
about mikv but we want to understand
that the
source that allows the abundance to come
into my midot comes from the sphere of
bina and if I you have a question you
say seven weeks they separated seven
days seven days I said seven weeks so so
thank you no they separated for for the
amount of times they need to be
separated you have to count seven days I
mean the the when a a woman who has the
cycle She has to count five days and as
long as once she stops the blood stops
coming then she counts seven clean days.
My mom didn't have that so she only had
to count seven days. She had to do
what's called a half sec and then count
seven days. So I'm sorry didn't separate
for seven weeks but it's told that it is
retroactive. It affects 100%. It's
retroactive. That's what I kept telling
my mom. the 40 years you didn't go one
time you go retroactively it affects all
the way back and I told her I told her
by you not going to the mikvah it's
affecting me because you are my mom and
our parents we are connected to our
parents
spiritually all the time so I'm
connected to my father through what's
called the moin the father is the moin
and I connected to my mother through the
midot and believe it or not a father
that thinks not pure things during the
day, it will affect his
kids. So a f man that is purifying his
eyes, not looking at the wrong places,
purifying his thoughts, it affects the
kids right away like Wi-Fi doesn't
matter. And a lot of people then they
come and they tell me my kids have
learning disorder, behavior disorder and
and all sorts of things like that. Then
I would quietly tell to the man, not in
front of his wife, stop looking at all
the places that you're you're looking at
and start thinking a little bit more
pure things because it's affecting your
child and what you think it affects the
child right away. Same thing with the
women with their midot their emotions.
Women are much more
emotional. The emotion of the woman will
affect the ch her child. So when parents
have problems with their kids and all
sorts of issues in in in in the ch they
see in the child the parent has to see
okay that's has to be reflected back on
me. So if my child has a certain
emotional issue the mother has to say
wait a minute I have to work on my midot
and the father when sees that then the
father has to work on what he has to
work on but this is totally off the
subject I want to stick with the subject
and then we'll we'll do the questions if
you don't mind after. So just because
we're sidetracking too much and we want
to concentrate on
the the point is that where I was
starting is is that our shea our
abundance comes from the sphere of bina
and in order for me to reach to my
source to get this abundance what's
called a shea I have to reach to the
sphere of bina therefore I have to
refine all my midot and the midot are
seven midot starting
from and I have to refine all of them.
This corresponds to the 49
gates and there are 49 gates of
impurity and there are 49 gates of
purity. This is
called
and there's always impurity and purity.
Now what is purity and impurity? Doesn't
mean something dirty. A lot of people
say, "What do you mean? You're calling
me impure now. Why are you insulting
me?" Cuz a lot of people say, "You know,
you didn't go to the mikvah. You're
impure." And people get offended from
that. Or you talk about a certain
animal. The concept between pure and
impure. Impure in in Hebrew is tame. And
pure in Hebrew is kadosh. Now, what is
pure? Something that has a lot of light
in it. Spiritual light of course. And
what is impure? Then there's lack of
light. There's no lack. There's no
light. Now what is this light? This is
not the light that you see from the
light bulb.
Rather light in Hebrew is called O. But
what is the motion that the light does
is it enlightens. So something that has
a lot of light, spiritual light in it,
it's holy. It's pure. Something that the
light was removed then it's becoming
impure. That's what it is. Doesn't mean
dirty. Doesn't mean something not clean.
It means that there's a lack of lack of
holiness. So when I have 49 gates of
purity, it means that 49 levels that the
light that shines from the spir from
above, it enlightens it. It's pure. It's
full. It's like you walk into a big
room. If there's no light into the room,
the room can be gorgeous room, but you
don't see anything. You don't benefit
from the beauty of the room. You can
have beautiful art work on the walls and
a beautiful design. Turn off the lights
here. You're not going to see
anything. So the concept of purity and
impurity is how much light is in that
vessel. This cle and this is what I have
to do the entire time of is I have to
refine my khim. I have kaleim. Khaleim
is a cle as is a vessel and I have 49
days to refine it and to clean it and to
to inject so to say this pure light into
these vessels and it takes me 49 days.
Why? Because I can't skip levels. I
can't say oh I'm so special. I'll just
jump two at a time. There's no such a
thing. It has to come
in order of development. You can't build
first floor and then jump to the fifth
floor and then jump to the 20th floor
and then come back to the seventh floor.
You can't do that. It has to go in
order. So the the counting has to be in
a in a motion of development. First one,
then two, then three, then four. I
cannot jump. Nobody can jump. You cannot
say you know today I don't feel like
refining the mid of let me jump straight
away to I don't need to go through the
order. The order is that I have to go by
the steps. This is
called to
develop and
every day I'm developing one level. The
same way we mentioned before about a
fetus you can't say okay let me skip
from one month three to month five. It's
the baby will not develop. The baby has
to develop according to its time. And
now we have the knowledge that between 6
weeks this is developed. 8 weeks that is
developed. 9 weeks this part is
developed. And if this development is
not going right then there's going to be
a problem. So same thing here I have to
develop the midot. The refinement have
to come in a order that is going one
step after the other. It cannot be
skipped. That's why we're counting them
because we're counting them with our
mouth. So that way I know okay today is
that's what we
say is such and such to know what I need
to develop. Now if you notice on the how
we read the we start by mentioning how
many where are we holding but really the
important part is the end when I say the
and then I mention which mida I'm
refining. So I would
say or whatever and then I
I can reflect on what I need to refine.
So first I have to count it to say oh
today I'm in the 12th day. Okay what's
the 12th day? Oh, today's
is but the point of this of this is a I
count it so I know where I'm holding.
But mainly I have to know which light I
have to tune into because every day in
these 49 days a certain light is being
revealed and I have to tap into it,
channel into it and derive this godly
revelation. Now why do I do that?
Because on Pesak on
Leed, the entire 49 gates are bombarded
on me in one night. 49 types of godly
revelations is being revealed to me on
the light of Leed. If I sit around the
table and I eat the matzah and I read
the hagada and I drink the four cups of
wine and I do all the things that I'm
supposed to do, the the godly revelation
that shines on pes
on is so powerful that we call it. It's
such a powerful night. That was the only
night that the were able to be removed
out of each out of their exile out of
mit. And we mentioned that we had so
many classes about PES is that the night
of it's such a powerful night. I don't
feel it. I don't see it. But all 49
gates are revealed in one shot. It's
like mega power of godly revelation is
being bestowed on us for one night. Now
I'm not a vessel to receive it. So this
comes as a as a as a hit. Why? to wake
me up. Now I have 49 days to start
digesting it and every day one spir one
light. So when comes shot I refined all
49 vessels to then receive it in a nice
subtle way. That's why we were able to
get the Torah that night. So on the
night of pes I'm not able to receive it.
This is what's
called an awakening from above is just
shining on me. It's like the alarm clock
that has the first sound just wakes me
up. Now the alarm clock will keep on
uh going for another 10 15 minutes and
my hand goes like that. So the night of
pes is the first sound is to wake me up.
Now I have 49 days to start climbing
these steps.
Now if I do it right and I start
refining every day one vessel then on
the night on Shabot I will be receptive
to receive this godly revelation of
accepting the Torah and I might not
accept it physically but I will accept
it
spiritually. So
really pes is the most important holiday
and we mentioned that in all the classes
that we had in the last month how pes is
the most important night. This is it's
called leed. We mentioned that. I'm just
going to repeat it. Why is it called
leather? Technically should be called
pes or le mat or whatever. Why? So sed
is
order because this is when the order
starts. This is the foundation. Now it
starts. And now I'm going to start going
by the order to start building these
levels. And it all starts on on pes. Now
we're ready after the fact. already 12
days after but I still have the the
ability to start refining my kaleim. Now
the thing is that what I need to
understand is that on pes this light was
given to me so to say as a present. Now
the reality in the universe is whatever
is given to me as a present doesn't
remain. It goes back. Any type of
revelation that Hashem gives to me that
comes as a present, it will be taken
back. That's why the world was created
so to say because before the world was
created, the Z explains that the godly
revelation was given for free as a
present to the souls and they were
benefiting this godly revelation. But at
some point, the souls approach God and
say, "Oh, listen. We feel that you're
just giving and giving and giving and we
want to give something back. We feeling
that you're giving us like a free
present. The Zor calls
it bread of shame that like a poor
person is being given all the time. So
Hashem says no problem. I'll give you
the opportunity to give back to do
something to earn it. So this is a good
lesson in life is whatever is being
given to you for free it's not going to
remain it's going to go. Rather, Hashem
says this is the world of doing. This is
you have to gain and to earn what you
want what you're going to get. So on Pes
we get this godly revelation as a
present. It just comes but it
disappears. It passes we celebrate the
last day of Pes and the light
disappears. That's why everybody the day
after
Pes. The energy falls down. People get
sick, people get depressed, people get
sad. Everybody it's affecting them in a
different way and they don't understand
why because you're in such a high for a
week and then it disappears. Now I have
to start working to gain gain this light
back and I have to work for it. This is
called
ya. Now when I work hard that's when the
light will stay. So if I work on myself
the entire seven weeks then the light
comes back again on shot. Now it will
stay. It will be here to stay. But I
have to toil. So I was reading this Om.
It takes exactly 3 minutes at night.
This is not the
real refinement. That's just to remind
me what I need to do. But I need to
every day refine one aspect of my
nishama. And I have to look into myself
and I have to to to go from one place to
another. Hashem is being kind. He's
giving me 49 days. I have to understand
it's not about reading the this is just
to remind me. The point is that I have
to understand that I'm going now on a
journey and I need to know in my journey
what is the exile that I came out
from on on pes what is the exile that
I'm battling. So one person is battling
their exile and battling their their
sadness or their depression or their
anger or whatever it is. We all have
some something that puts us in exile.
Now, exile is not being chained to a a
metal ball and and like a prisoner or to
building something like a slave. Exile
is something that limits me. The country
where the Jews were in exile was called
comes from the
word something that limits me. So when
our sages teach
us every generation a person has to see
himself like he he left Egypt meanings
that I don't need to picture myself that
I'm carrying bricks rather I'm stuck in
some type of an exile that puts me in a
limitation. So if I have a problem with
anger that's my exile because I'm stuck
in a state of limitation.
And if I have a problem with with
with being sad or
being jealous, whatever it is, in most
cases, I have a few things that put me
in a limitation. I can be lazy. I can be
whatever it is, I need to recognize what
is my exile. And that I had to do before
Pes. Now I already know what's my exile.
Now I have the opportunity to start my
journey slowly slowly going out of it.
So at night when I count that's just to
arouse the memory. Oh, I need to refine
today something. But
really the the action has to be is to re
to refine my attributes. The reason why
I do it with my mouth is because the
mouth has the power exactly what I spoke
about before is to create the reality.
When I say today
is even though I don't know what it
means and I can guarantee to you that
nobody knows what it means. Maybe a few
people know a little bit what it means
when you're saying
today. Okay. So I
said I don't know what it means. I just
say it. But since I don't know what it
means, the fact that I'm pronouncing it
with my
words that I'm allowing myself to reach
to that level and even without knowing I
can refine something
in my because the reality is that we
don't really know. Very few people will
understand what did I do today when I
said wow. So I said a very fancy word
and I sound like a cabalist because I
said some fancy combinations of spir but
really do I know what he what he did? No
I don't know anything. So therefore our
sages said listen we don't we know you
don't know just say it with your words
then the power of the words are very
powerful. It will trigger what it needs
to trigger. I need to understand that
I'm going through a journey and by the
fact that I count something I also need
to meditate read the words and if you
don't understand it in Hebrew read it in
English that you understand what the
words of says and we will learn in the
next couple weeks what are we saying and
why are we saying I mean if I mean now
in the week of I mean every week now
it's a little bit past the point but in
the week of I need to understand that
now I'm going to start refining the
attribute of in me. So what does it
mean? Hold on. What does mean said I
have to give a lot of kindness but it
has to have some limit in it. I want to
give my kids everything. I want to give
them toys and books and treats but if
there's no limit then my kindness is
going to hurt them. Has to be some
severity in it. some restriction. I'm
going to give you X amount of treats.
I'm not giving you all the treats. So
said kindness is very good, but it has
to have some severity, some restriction.
And I have to look, we're going to go
through it. I have to look in everything
that I have to
refine in the week of is I have to
refine every aspect of the in me. And
sometimes I have a lot of is severity
that every person that comes I will cut
them right off. But even in that I have
to
have to know when to back off. You have
to be strict but don't be
crazy. And then I would do the I have to
have the severity but to do it in a very
nice calm subtle way. So every can be
dissected. Now we're not going to have
the time for that but we will go through
the general idea that I have the tools.
What do I need to do? Where where do I
need to reflect here the point that I
want to take from today is that the time
of is to refine my vessels to do what's
called tikunim.
Why? That comes the night of ShΓ uot. I
just have to sit and eat my cheesecake
and I will get the godly revelation. The
same thing that what our ancestors got
at the time of matan tora. They think
they understood what they saw there.
They didn't understand anything. At some
point they got so scared that they told
Mosha Rabeno, "Listen, we can't handle
this. You go do what you need to do then
come and tell it to us." And it took
Moshu 40 days to digest what they what
he just learned. And then it took him 40
years to give it over and up until today
we're learning and dissecting it. So we
don't really understand but we have to
do the physical part and we have to
refine these vessels. This is in general
what we're doing at the time of is we're
cleaning and refining our vessels.
And I have to understand even that today
I do not you're going to leave today the
class you don't understand really what
I'm what how am I refining my vessel now
just say it just make sure that you say
it I hope that you did not miss a night
that you can say still say it with a
blessing if you missed it then you'd say
it without a blessing but continue
saying it without the blessing still
count it but what you need to
internalize that you have now 49 days of
journeys and every day I have to go one
step higher higher and another step
higher and another step higher and
mainly I have to recognize what's the
exile that I have to leave from and when
I recognize the exel that I have to
leave from then I start working on
myself the point is to refine myself in
such a way that when does come the night
of matan of shod then this light remains
in me why because I'm able to refine
myself and reach to the level of the
sphere of bina that the imma is the
mother that births
the shea and that will remain with me
for the rest of the year. So we will
continue in the next couple weeks to go
through all this. What I need to do, how
I need to do, how it affects me, what I
need to focus on, how to take advantage
of this time. We're still bashm. We have
a lot of time. And in the meantime to
remember that also I didn't touch it
today. We'll do it maybe another time
that all the laws that our sages taught
us that I'm not allowed to cut my hair
during that time. Men that trim their
beards should not trim their beards. men
that shave their beards I hope with a
with a machine then should not even cut
that there's reasons why we don't touch
the hair there's also reason our sages
told us not to party during that time
not to listen to music there's a lot of
questions in that but there is the
reason is in in general because it's a
time of hit of
rejuvenation and you cannot mix things
together and the same thing is that the
hair is very very holy we're going to
talk about it another time. There's no
time now. But the fact that the hair
grows, it's a sign of growth and
rejuvenation. We just don't see that
there's power in the hair. So, we're
going to talk about that, too. But all
the rules, all the laws that our sages
told us, we need to follow it. Not to
listen to music, not to party, not to
get married, not to do all sorts of
things, we asked before, not not buying
new things. So, that's not the next time
we'll go a little bit more about the the
the actual laws. And mainly we want to
talk about more about the how it's
affecting us in the mystical part of it.
Till
then you should focus about
concentrating on your journeys and
slowly slowly refining your vessels and
when we'll repeat this time it should be
the ultimate time when we receive the of
the as it says when mashia is going to
come is going to be a
new so we're striving to get to the
point that Mashia is going to come very
soon and we're going to receive the
Torah again and if Mashiah has to wait a
few more days and it's not going to
happen this sh then we receive it in the
spiritual level and we're going to
explain that too. So in the meantime,
we're going to wish you all just a great
success in your avodata
uh the the job of refining your your
midot and fixing your kaleim and we will
talk about it much Morning heat.
