welcome to our class on this
we're going to be learning this week a
very special hasidic discourse the name
of the discourse is called
hashem al-avram where god speaks to
avram and he gives him his first
commandment
of
to leave your land your birthplace
your father's home allahara to share to
the land that i will show you the rebbe
said the specific discourse
in the year tough shin lamidresse which
is exactly 43 years ago and he
represents this course meant shabbos
in his room and it's actually the only
certified and edited hasidic discourse
on the toro portion of
this other discourse is from the rabbi
but not certified and edited
so on this verse the rubber goes on to
explain he says that we know there's two
ways to interpret
this commandment from hashem on a
spiritual level one
is the first one is
that hashem is telling him
go now we know there's two ways to go
in other words you can either go
downhill or you can go uphill in
kabbalah it's called mil milo lamakta
from above down below
and you can go from um
below up up on high so there's two ways
to interpret
so the first way is it's referring to
the journey of going mill mila la mata
going from a high spiritual place into a
low spiritual place what does that mean
that it's a journey of going from a high
spiritual place to a low spiritual place
so the river brings what it's brought
down from the altar rebbe's teachings in
toyota and the october explains that
avram
is comes of two words av
and ram
we know av is
and ram is a very very high level
in the words of kabbalah it's called
seychelles
we call rayon it's intellect but it's so
deep and it's so high that it's
concealed nellam it's concealed from
anyone even touching it or grasping it
so avrom the first jew was on that level
he was able to connect to intellect
which is totally concealed from any
human being to able to comprehend it and
connect to it which we know
in the world of this wrote what's the
highest sphere in in the world of
intellect
so
is the highest one and
nevertheless this is even harder why
because
even though it's a flash of an idea but
idea is revealed once it's revealed
that's why it's called
it's called based on the revealed part
of the idea but here we're saying is
avrom is he's a he's an intellect which
is totally concealed
so again we're dealing with avrom we're
dealing with a very very powerful high
level of of of intellect which is
totally concealed
that's the high part because we're going
from the from high down below and hashem
tells avraham he says
you were to take the journey
from your high place that means he
should go out
from this conce from this from this
concealed place of intellect and he
should reveal it elearets down into the
earth what we know what is urets are is
earth physically but in the world of
sphero the iris is referring to the
sphere of malchus so this intellect not
only regulatory
this high level of concealed intellect
should come down which will be revealed
into the intellect and emotions up until
arets up until the level of malchus
so that's hashem
asking abram commanding avram you have
this great powerful connection
something which no one can really
connect to it's concealed say hello
but i want you to reveal it down into
the world of malchos into the world of
artsakha
and hashem says and continues on ashara
rekka
that i will show you so what does that
mean i will show you so there's two into
two two insights into it one inside is
very simple i'm gonna show you
which means that it's referring to the
land because when you take the the
intellect it's concealed and you reveal
it so you're showing it you're revealing
it we're into the earth which is malchus
because we know malchus is the revealed
world and therefore hashem says ashara
rekka because it's going to be revealed
that's the first insight into ashara
recka there's another insight that says
like this
ashareka means it's referring to avram
this avram who as we said is the
intellect which is concealed from anyone
to able to comprehend it
but when you go ahead and you reveal
what you have hidden into the world into
malchus so
i will do is i will reveal and i will
show you who you really are such deeper
powers that you have that's even
concealed to you
in other words but in the words of
kabbalah
i will reveal to you your essence and
your and your and your quality of who
you are you essence of yourself
in other words what does that mean
because even though if you think about
it malchus as we said in the world of
sriracha is the highest markers is the
lowest so marcus is the lowest sphere
secretary qurayan
is very very high it's even higher than
regular
but nevertheless because you're going to
go ahead and you're going to reveal
that concealed sachal hanalem and
qurayam into malchus so hashem says then
i will go ahead and i'll reveal to you
your true self who you are in a much
much deeper and much more powerful level
so whatever says
this idea that hashem instructed avraham
again
the first
way the radio interprets in the first in
in this part that we're revealing these
concealed second into the physical world
into malchus and through that what
happens is there's actually an allele in
the seikh honeymoon quran of abraham to
a higher level so the river says this
applies to each and every one of us
because the fact is each and every one
of us we also have a descent
from high to low what is that because we
all know we all have a physical body and
in the body we have a neshama then a
summer before it came down to the body
was on high with hashem
so when the shrama comes down to the
body that's called a urethra that means
before was it was on high
and it's coming down the matter into the
body
so there ever says that when the neshama
comes down into the body into this world
and it does its job
of bringing godliness into the world
through learning torah doing the mitzvah
prayer
practicing restraint transformation
anytime we do that we actually create
not only light in this world but we
actually create an aliyah an elevation
in the summer in the soul as the verse
says
that
you're becoming mahalak you become a
mover because we know that this soul on
high it was great it was wonderful it
was in a very high space but there was
no room for growth it was we call it
ointment it was standing so even though
we're standing in a high place where
there was an ointment once the neshama
comes down to this world it becomes
it has the ability to grow it can become
a real mahalak become a shaker and a
mover in life it can have real growth
and not only growth in this world but
even in the highest levels
it could have it can have an elevation
up until the point at the level we know
for example the neshama has five levels
in the summer so that we'll start from
the lowest now lowest and higher in
spirituality don't mean physically we
mean the least amount of spiritual
energy and the higher higher amount of
spiritual energy so the bottom it's
nephesh that's the lowest level of the
summer ruach is the next level up where
more excitement in the shower more
energy and the summer is even more
higher and then the highest is yakida so
the rubber says that when when the
shrama comes down to this world which is
seemingly in a urethra and it does it's
avoider there's an elevation that takes
place in every part of the summer the
nephesh
and even in the level of yukida
so rabbi asked one second
there's different levels to the
shambhala
what's the highest level in the sham
what does it mean
it's one it means it's one with hashem
why is it called because it receives its
energy just literally from from hashem
himself
so if it's such a high level
and not only such a highly release
energy from ourselves from hashem but we
know that in the level of yeshida
there's no counter
counter
a conflict like for example the ruby
brings
the from the gemara the gemara says a
famous story that um someone passed away
they and they didn't know if the wife
can remarry so there was a voice that
came out that the husband
um died
so they said oh guess what we heard
someone make a testimony that says so
the talmud asked maybe he was a demon
so he says no no we didn't we didn't we
actually saw the image you know of a
person it says no maybe it's maybe it's
the image of the demon they said no they
saw an image of an image
and the talmud explains because
a demon could exist and the image of a
demon can exist
but an image of an image can exist same
thing on a spiritual what does that mean
practically
we know for example we have the sea road
the emotions the intellect so this tense
we wrote of the godly soul and of the
animal soul even the level of rotsin and
kesser so that we have sometimes have a
strong will to do something guess what
unfortunately the animal soul has also a
strong will
however when it comes to the
mysterious nephesh that's only for the
godly soul
there's no thing there's no such thing
as the animal soul going on
self-sacrifice it doesn't exist it's not
in the cards so since on the level of
yahida there's no opposition where's the
growth growth comes when there's
conflict
growth comes when they struggle so where
is the grow where's the what's the idea
of growing uh
growing in the level of vikida
but nevertheless we know that when the
summer comes down
to this world there's not only an aliyah
in the parts of the soul
but even in the level of
you're able to elevate it
um
and there gives you an example he says
we know for example it's brought that in
many many places that and when someone
gets an aliyah to the torah so what does
that mean you getting aliyah so
technically it means they call you up
and you make the blessings and you're
here and then you have to make the
blessings afterwards but ali it doesn't
necessarily mean a physical that you're
physically going up to the torah
actually when you get in aliyah to the
torah
you how they call you up with your name
and your father's name why is that
because when you get in aliyah there's
actually an elevation a spiritual
elevation that takes place
in every single part of your neshama
and which is interesting the other
explains that we learned last week that
when noah built the ark so it says he
made three different levels and in the
torah it's called the tactium the lowest
level schneem the second level and
the the third level now we know the
famous teaching of allah says like this
and it says
we have to go into the ark so the
bashanto says
the torah says go into the ark now we
know everything in the torah is not just
a story of the past because torah is
about hyrule about a lesson in life so
the torah tells you go into the ark
there's a spiritual significance in
other words when torah says come into
the ark it's actually teaching us a way
to enter into the ark of god
and we enter into the ark of god there's
the first level the lowest level the
second level the third level etc
and
the the avoid of going into the ark
applies to everybody each and every one
of us
and especially we know that um after the
month the whole month of tishrei when
after the whole month of history of our
shanna yum kippur sukkah ishmael
saraswati what do we say that we have it
says
on went on went on to
engage into the world all the powerful
energies of the whole month of history
you take it and you engage in the world
that means even in in materialistic
things and simple things um and even
until
as we know the in reference to new york
was there was a big flood what's the
flawed spiritually referring to us so
the flood is referring to like so what's
what do you think about a flood the
water is coming and gusting down what's
the flood spiritually that's all the um
worries and concerns we have to try to
earn a livelihood and to try to make it
into this world and so on and so forth
so the question is how do you deal with
how do you deal with this world we just
finished a beautiful month of tishrei
rashad nayem kippur
sukkah and now oh my gosh we have a
flood we have all these worries and
concerns where we have to pay the bills
for tishrei have to go forward in life
and so on and so forth so taurus is very
very clearly boy la tevo come into the
ark you want to be able to get rid of
all your distractions and all your
worries and all your challenges come
into the ark what is the ark so you know
tava means an ark but tava actually also
means letters
so the kasich teacher
come into the ark what does that mean
take the letters what letters the
letters of learning torah when you sit
and learn torah you're going into the
you're going into the spiritual arc when
you pray and you say the words of prayer
you're going into the spiritual ark and
not only will you be saved will you be a
survivor that you're not going to be
washed up from the from the flood from
all the worries and all the concerns
that's one level that's survivor that's
that's the first level that's not the
goal the first goal sure it should be
safe you shouldn't be washed away but
the goal is
that what should happen is
that the tarum hateva after the flood
what happens the actual tava got
elevated the goal is not only we should
be saved we should actually be elevated
and after the torah tells us that
the table was actually about to be calm
and relaxed et cetera so the goal of
going to the tava goal of learning torah
and praying and anything we do to go
into the holy spiritual ark is one we
should not be god for that flooded so
the flooding should stop the chaos would
stop but more importantly we should
find peace and tranquility in the world
and true happiness
so we see clearly from the story of the
table
on the spiritual level
that the aliyah the hamster neshama
is on all three levels
all three levels the first the second
and the third
the lowest level schnee in the second
level and the third level now we know
spiritually since we're dissecting the
idea of new york's have on a spiritual
level what is the whole idea of the the
bottom level the second and the third
it's referring to the bottom level of
the table is called naran
nephesh
the lowest level of use the three lowest
levels of your soul the second level the
shniam is referring to
of your soul and the highest level as
well this idea of yukido so the idea is
to have an elevation you see on all
three levels so you see it's possible to
have a elevation not only in nephesh
of your soul but even in
even
and through that fact that avraham avinu
went into the into the land you know as
the land referring to on a spiritual
level referring to the idea of malchus
and the goal was
to create
a revelation
of hashem in all the three worlds of
briya yet syria and asia because the
world about seeing the shrine was
revealed but if ramavina went into the
land went up into the world of brio
you'd see rasia and all three were all
three worlds
up until the level of malchus
the goal was what was a vram's spiritual
mission then to bring down
into the physical worlds of brilliancier
into this physical gosh materialistic
world this should be revelation of god's
light and through that he actually paved
the way
that when we do a mitzvah today a
physical mitzvah after the torah was
given
there there there becomes a a spiritual
energy into this world but through that
there actually is an elevation
in the highest level as we said
represents
let me call ryan okay just to recap
before we go for forward so the rebels
explaining here is as follows
what is the first insight kabbalistic
insight to lachlan where it applies in
our life the way it applied in abraham
abraham was what seychellar
this powerful concealed intellect hashem
charged him with a mission
you know that powerful
concealed intellect that you have bring
it reveal it to the world
when you reveal it into the world
revealed to the lowest levels of echo
into malchus into the lowest possible
levels what will happen then there'll
actually be an elevation
into your secret element even higher and
zero explains on all levels like explain
the example like just like it applies to
us when the shrama comes down to the
body so our the goal is not just to keep
the nashama for ourselves the goal is to
share our neshama with the world and
into into malchus in every part of the
world and when we do that we have an
elevation in our soul on every single
level even the level of yukida like
derek is an example when you have an
allela torah so there's a level there's
an elevation every part every part of
the soul or like for example he gave the
example when it comes to the ark that
the ark is here spiritual savior and the
the three levels of the ark represents
all the different five levels of the
soul and we create an elevation on all
the levels of the soul by bringing down
godliness into the world so we actually
there's a
there's actually a huge benefit
by
bringing and sharing all the powerful
godly
lights and energy that we have that's
concealed and we bring it revealed into
the world we actually get elevated by
doing our spiritual work
that's the first
insight into
which means
bringing down godliness into the world
and what happened by bringing
ungodliness to the world we are actually
elevated then there brings a second
insight which goes just the opposite way
the second insight of lachlan means
that we're going from down below and
again down below we mean where it's
spiritually dark
into a higher state of being in other
words what's the avoid that the avoid is
to go me outside
and we know which land that abram was
supposed to leave from from a simple
perspective where was he leaving which
land we know he's leaving the land of
his father tarakh now we know
unfortunately tariq was an idolater so
that's the opposite of purity
so the first thing is you have to leave
from the lowest places you have to leave
from those dark places
of opposite of purity
and then from there you start your
journey mata la milo you have to go from
the darkest places and start going up to
the highest places
what's again since we're working from
the bottom to the top so what's the
highest places we reach to because we're
starting from below zero
literally from arts
from from impurity so we go from total
impurity maybe fifty percent impurity
purity and then we go our araka we
finally get to the place where hashem
will show you which is what which is
actually the bottom of the sphere we end
up on the lowest sphere of malchus but
that's only the beginning of the journey
so we're leaving from
bottom or they call today from the
basement leaving from the dark basement
but we're going up to we're up to
malchus we're going up to malchus
but then what happens when you get to
malcolm's you don't stop there the goal
is not to get to get to zero the goal is
to keep on moving higher so what is what
what happens afterwards so it says by
even
he built an ark hashem haneer a love to
this hashem that we appear to him
what what what does that mean so it's
not only malchus it's already in a way
hashem appeared in which is higher than
mahjos and then it says by even
it doesn't say
love which means hashem himself which is
referring to a higher level in the shame
of yud kevke which is actually referring
to the hidden part of hashem
which is
higher than the level of the part hashem
revealed himself to him which is
obviously the level of what about silos
so the goal is
to go
to go from
wherever mata is wherever low level is
to be elevated to the level of malchus
which is basically zero and then from
there you keep on going i mean it's zero
in terms of that's where you go from
minus to start going to the pluses from
zero you go to where hashem is revealed
and then you go to where hashem is
obviously concealed so that is on a
spiritual journey of abraham how does
that relate to us and the uber explains
very simple because we know after
tishrei
roshana yum kippur sukkusem kastura and
now we have to go the yak of hollow
in other words so
what does mean the acropolis so this
going
it's not like we explained before you're
going from a high level down into
our lower level but on the contrary
you're going from the lowest level to
the highest level what does it mean
going from the lowest to the highest
what does it mean practically so the way
it works practically is very simple we
know
that hashem gave us the intellect
he gave us emotions
and he gave us actions
so we start from the top like me the
first ideas you start from in to look
down to emotions down to action over
here where's the opposite you start with
actions
you start doing what you're supposed to
you're inspired you're not inspired it
makes sense it doesn't make sense do the
avoider
from
starting from below to above means
you're doing actions you're doing the
mitzvos you're showing up you're
studying you're praying you're
functionally there
now
once you start doing the actions
like for example um where does the
actions represent when you walk where do
you walk your feet from your heel which
is basically the lowest part of
of of the human being which possibly you
know there's actually the least amount
of life over there in in the heel of a
person
just like spiritually like when avraham
left artsakh which was basically from
this house of his father an idolater the
opposite of purity but from there you
start with the journey what does that
mean what's the first level of the
journey that even in
your heel where it's just the heel
over there the heel
should
not only hear but it should actually
feel and yes it's called their hair it
should be connected in a very very deep
level of hashem
like we know it says about avraham it
says akev
what does that mean what does it mean
aches aika means because but we know
akev also means the heel which means
that avraham was able to accomplish that
in his achieve in the lowest place where
god is not revealed where it's totally
like almost mundane physical
that level was able to connect and hear
godliness
now because abraham basically broke the
way and he accomplished an achive that
in the heel of abraham in the lowest
parts of the world that abraham
connected with he was able to cause that
they should be able to hear and connect
to hashem therefore based on abraham's
energy of influencing the lowest parts
of the world in the lowest parts of the
human being with godliness we have the
power to elevate
the lowest common denominator in the
world
like for example we all know that
abraham loves hashem
intense love for hashem and this love
that abraham had for hashem he gave over
toss us in our genes
a jew naturally loves hashem
some people in a revealed way it's great
but in a concealed way everybody loves
hashem
and that's an inheritance it's something
which we have we can't get rid of it
it's part of our genes so the same thing
the rabbit says also that avraham
inspired and he gave us a gift that even
in the lowest places god was able to be
here
be felt
once
you affect in the lowest places in the
world god should be felt
so then you go further
that all your attributes
your emotions your intellect should all
feel
and connect hashem
up until the highest level the intellect
the intellectual fear of godliness it
starts from the heel your emotions and
the intellect
and what so what does that mean that the
intellect heal that is able to connect
to godliness and feel godliness and
comprehend godliness and you're
explaining something very powerful the
intellect comprehends
and hears that there's something which
is
above nature and above any limits
of the intellect so the intellect
realizes that whatever it's able to
comprehend god god is much bigger god is
much greater and that's the because the
intellect can only go so far so
sometimes intelligence won't let you go
he says no no it doesn't make sense i'm
not doing it the intellect is able to
say no no guess what god is above
i don't understand everything and i'm
willing to let go to god
and this idea
of mata lamila you're going to say one
second
so if a person's struggling with judaism
so you can say oh my gosh you have to
stop in the bottom you just do and then
you get emotionally excited and then
intellectually you get connected and
then even willing to leave intellect and
connect on a higher level
but there ever says one second we just
left history
rosh hashanah yum kippur sukkesh
midheris and kastara with all the
excitements
so like we're on a high
how do we get that we're going to
matalam island the never explained it's
very very simple
because what's the avoider of the last
holiday we had they avoid the wash mini
at sarah's and singapore
that was that's the finale of the month
of tishrei what is the avoider of
schminier terraces
it's all about dancing
how do you dance now some people dance
on their head but most people dance on
their feet
and when you dance on your feet you
don't dance on the side of your foot you
dance on the heel of your foot
so the avoidance meaning that cersei's
terry which is the last howl that we had
is all about dancing on your feet and
specifically on the heel part of your
feet now what happens when you dance
your your feet are dancing
but when your feet dance
what do they do just the feet dance your
whole body doesn't dance no the feet has
the power to cause the whole body to
dance and not only that it actually
causes the intellect to dance
that he that the feet causes the
intellect to get excited
and should be happy
and not only should be happy it should
be happy
without any limits
so who is the one that caused the
intellect to dance the intellect no
the avoiders meaning at saras and
simcha's terror is that the feature
dance
the heel should dance and that causes
the whole body the emotions and the
intellect
so we see from clearly the avoiders
miniatures is an avoid of mata lamaila
start doing
start dancing and that'll affect your
emotions and that will affect your
intellect
and whoever says that is basically
starts the spiritual work
of the whole year of the yaakov
that we go into the world and what do we
engage in the world with mil mata milo
going starting from below up until high
for the whole year what does that mean
that we start off with actions
what does that mean starting with
actions so akev is the lowest part
so for example very gives a very very
simple example we know hashem gave us
613 commandments
so which how many commanders should we
do 613 248 positive 365 negative
now the fact is we all know we all have
this you know thing in our head oh this
is a big mitzvah ah this is a small
mitzvah this is an important mitzvah
this is not so important the truth is
there really is no difference between
one mitzvah and the other
because since hashem gave us the
mitzvahs there's no difference he missed
number one and mitch number 613 or 312.
every single mitzvah is the same mitzvah
but unfortunately driver says there are
certain things that we're dash back
cover we like push it to the side
not
it's not so important mitzvah
so we don't have what does that mean
practically so we'll do it but we don't
have excitement for it everyone knows
there's certain myths we're more excited
about and certain ones we're not so
excited about
so the avoider is
to go ahead and do those mixes that
you're pushing aside you're saying is
not that important
and do those mitzvos the ones that you
feel is not so important
and from there you go to get excited
about it
up until the intellect says wow this
mitzvah that i always pushed off it's a
great mitzvah so that void of malamata
lamila is to take think about mitzvoties
that you're not excited about start
doing those mixed voice
and start getting emotionally charged
and start getting intellectually
connected to it and then go off the
charts with it
that is the avoider of muhammad allah
throughout the year now so again so
recap the second avoid is
what is almost almighty mean starting
just like abraham from the from the from
the akvayam from the heels which is the
opposite of holiness and from there
transforming it and going up the ladder
and creating a spiritual experience and
thereby says the same thing applies to
us just like cinco story they avoid the
words to dance with your feet and that
caused you to get emotionally excited
and that causes your intellect to get
excited so the same thing also when it
comes to mitzvahs to think about all the
mixes that we're not excited about and
to start getting excited about them and
a to do them and then be doing
excitement and to connect with them
obviously on a godly and a very powerful
level
so these are two different paths of
lachlan on a spiritual level one is to
draw down the highest level of godliness
into the world and the other one is to
start from the bottom and just work your
way up
br work your way up from the bottom to
the highest level
so greba says what's interesting is
that
thereby gives one more example and then
he's that he's gonna explain the
powerful idea behind it and notice this
idea the rubber says we find in in
another verse in the prophets it says
like this
in the prophets and the prophet joshua
he says this follows
it says
on the other side of the river joshua
are your your forefathers sat
so
the um
the city will do the civic
interpretation first and then the
regular interpretation the hasidic
interpretation is
that what does it mean behavior hanar on
a spiritual level what does it mean the
other side of the of the river
so it's so thorough explains it's higher
than the level of nahar yoitse me adam
we know aidan is the eden and the nahar
goes out so aidan is obviously a very
high level when we say the nahar goes
out it's referring to binobatsilos
you'd say because it's in a horror it's
basically giving out
giving out more depth and more breath so
that's the idea of being a vatsilos so
what is avahanar what does that ivarnar
mean so it's actually the source of the
forefathers which is even higher than
atsilos
so again nowhere yo it's me then the
nahar coming out of eden is bina
of atsilos
eva hannah is even higher the the source
of the patriarchs come from what's the
source from a place which is even higher
than that
but they came across
they came from that high level and they
drew it down into this in into a lower
level which means into zabatilis even
lower than veda and zervacillus
until the verse says he'll take you
through the whole land of israel and
bringing it down into the ideaboard of
not only zoho but even in tomatoes
because we know for example as we
mentioned before already that eretz is
referring to the marches so ideas to
take it from the highest level
hire the nazilis into
what's the literal trans
uh insight into that verse in in joshua
it's referring to the other side where
tarak lived which obviously if tarik
lived here it's not referring to a
positive a positive situation as we know
it says moscow we stop ignoring us with
with things which you're not necessarily
proud of because we know unfortunately
the in the past uh abraham's father tara
was an idolater
and he said he was on the other side of
the river which means he was
the other side of godliness he was
serving idols so he left from the lowest
places of idolatry
and he went el arch soraka until he
actually found god so you see the same
idea of going to my little motto which
means for the highest level drawing down
the garlands into this world and the
same thing also going to
going from a place of opposite of
holiness and bringing in holiness into
it jefferson since we have these two
insights again the avoider of bringing
down godliness into the world and
elevating the world and they're both
in insi kabbalistic insights into the
verse
and seemingly it's two different two
different insights into the same word
same verse
and not only is it different it's
actually opposites here you're telling
me my journey is to bring ungodliness
into the world then you're telling me my
journey is no to elevate the world into
hashem
which am i supposed to be going am i
supposed to going from the top to the
bottom or going from the bottom to the
top where do i go
but there are some stuff like this since
you have
both and they're in the same verse
it must mean that lachla is coming to
teach you
and it's a lesson to each and every one
of us that we have to do both what it
means we have to do both we have to do
the avoiding of drawing down godliness
into the world and we have to elevate
the world
and everybody brings for example where
it says in the tour of salah
it says i'm going to go amongst you and
we know the salah
is plural we mean he's going to go
is going once or or for example it says
in the in the torah again because y is
going twice because both you're going
down are you going up or for example
says the oil i'm going to take you coin
standing state are stayed upright which
means coin is two two two levels it's
referring to the the usher which is
bringing down light or crazy or
elevating the light which basically the
idea is what you have both avoided yeah
you know you need both
we have to do both it's not about
choosing we need to draw down godliness
into the world and we have to elevate
the world so whoever says which is
interesting is that he liked to connect
this idea of doing both of this
with the idea of a leap year which
obviously whenever i said this discourse
um it was actually a leap year
but not only was it a leap year but we
know that the way a leap year works as
follows
every
19 years after the the regular year in
the leap year it the the sun and the
moon actually line up after 19 years so
this year was actually the closest to
the end of the the the cycle of the 19
years so it actually was actually
creating the the complete
cycle where the sun and the moon are
going to light up
line up at the same time
which creates the ultimate real
connection
so
which is the connection between what
between the sun and the moon in the
hebrew it's called the sacrament
of honor which they they're they're
unified and united so everybody explains
what does that mean spiritually and he
explains like this we all know what is
the semester the semester gives off
light
so in the world the world of kabbalah
when you're giving off light the chemist
what's it called it's called the
mashbiya someone that produces
someone that gives
someone that has an influence
someone that creates it's called the
mashbiya that's the hebrew term
which what does a machia mean
spiritually think about it is that
mulmata might almost
you're taking powerful energy and you're
drawing it down to this world
levon on the other hand the moon the
moon as we know doesn't have anything to
it all the moon does is it receives what
it gets from the sun and it passes it on
for forward so what does that refer to
so the levant is called actually a
macabre it's a receiver it's giving also
but it's not giving its own so in
essence what's a lavon and lavon is the
macabre the moon is a receiver which is
now but what happens when you have when
you have a leap year
and especially when you when you come to
the end of the cycle so what happens
then is the sun and the moon meet up
what does that mean so when they meet up
so if you have for example the sun so we
know it's about mashabia malmata if you
have levana so it's the macabre it's
but what happens when the two come
together
so the idea when they two come together
is on the contrary that you have the
unification of both of those both those
two spiritual services of both being a
spirit giver and being a receiver come
together
there's the avoid of the masjib
the avoid of going from top to bottom
it's been giving a spiritual light and
in the world of kabbalah with that avoid
this called avoiding
because what's that sadiq
has tremendous light and he shares light
into the world on the other hand the
lavonna is the receiver which is
which is called basically the of the
balsa but what happens then is they
become one it becomes a complete a
complete thing
like for example there are quotes from
the praise that we say on shabbat it
says
it should give off light like the sun
and the moon so the question is is it
the sun or is it the moon which one's
giving off light but the purpose of that
statement is not that you should have
the sun has its thing and the moon has
its thing but no it should be really one
because the goal is that really it
should become one not that it should be
a sun and shim moon the goals of sun the
moon should be unified and really as one
now
when
we create a unity which means we do both
avoiders
the giver and the receiver by doing that
that's a preparation
and you make a you create a vessel like
for example whatever gives an example he
says if you have a limb and a body which
not only receives but sometimes drawers
so you can receive and you can just be
sitting like a uh
like a dull receiver or you can be a
receiver that's actually drawing so by
drawing you become a receiver and you're
a giver because you're causing the
energy to flow in so by doing both the
avoidable
which means being at a spear drawing in
godliness into the world
and being on a kabul elevating the world
which is both important we actually
become a vessel and we prepare
um the prayer of the world to receive
a whole different level
what level the infinite light which is
above
high and low another looks like this
in the world of mashia and macabre that
means it's something which is high
there's something which is low and
you're drawing in from high to low or
you're elevating low to high
so as long as you're in that zone so
you're either you're giving or you're
receiving but the goal is once you
become a giver and a receiver so then
you become connected to a much higher
level of hashem which is called iran
safe the infinite light and in the place
of the infinite light there's no higher
and lower it's really all one
like job it says for example you know
it's brought that many places in this
that after a person does
the avoid of
de la tata what means
the awakening from below which means you
become a good receiver
and you allow to bring in heavy light
from above
which comes through that so then you
receive a very very high level of light
where you can't even
re you don't even have the vessel to
create a vessel to receive it but that
comes by doing both together why because
the ultimate the complete avoider is the
complete work is
when you have both together
and the rubber quotes from the zora de
zora says
that the complete avoid is when you
create a
complete vessel because when a person
makes a complete muscle which you have
the giver and the receiver the mashbiya
and the macabre
then you become a vessel for the
infinite light
because hashem
resides in a place where it's complete
for example if you have just a must be
it's not complete if you have just the
macabre it's not complete but when you
have a given receiver and that's why
peace is very very important because
what's peace because in peace means as a
giver and receiver there's a given
receiver a receiver and a giver but if
they're all getting along you have peace
and if you have a tash slim a place
where it's complete then the infinite
light comes in there and there never
says once you reach that level where you
create a vessel of peace we have the
giver and the receiver and they really
become one it's not like this one's the
giver and feels better about being the
giver this one's the receiver and feels
better or better or worse for being the
receiver then you become the vessel for
the infinite light the number says not
only you become the vessel for the
infant light but you actually draw down
the atmos the essence
of hashem
and
because that's the real truth and that's
the ultimate
in completion
and by drawing down atmos the essence of
hashem
then we have the ultimate which which we
want to have is that israel
the kuchabriku the jewish people and
hashem through the torah we become
actually one
and
one not where it's made up of parts
because that's not really one in a way
derivative says that you can't tell the
difference between who's the mashbee and
who's the macabre
they're really all one
because tara tells us that it's one and
that's really the ultimate goal when we
create a real oneness
so as you see this discourse is a very
very powerful acidic discourse because
this really sets out the spiritual
journey of life
and it shows you a vision how to create
a real
life of growth
just to recap first level of growth is
the way derek explains in this discourse
is to draw down we all have tremendous
powers
we have tremendous things concealed
within us that we can bring down into
this world so the first level is to
bring down tremendous light into the
world second level is to elevate the
world but the goal afterwards is that
the the drawing down and receiving it's
really all become one and when it
becomes one with from with from within
and with other people in a community we
create real peace then we create the
vessel for the infinite light not only
the influence is the essence of hashem
and once we create real oneness
real completion by becoming everyone
becomes really really one that is the
greatest blessing the greatest blessing
is when everything has won and we become
a real vessel for the essence of hashem
so let's hope and pray we really connect
to this powerful message of the rebel we
really become all one will become a
vessel for the infinite light of hashem
