hi this is Aram Katz continuing the explanation of the Mimer I mean the diddie wa diddie leha bass ii Mimer entitled any other daily video TV and we left off in the middle of explaining these two ideas of Ramallah Coleman and Cyril calm in my mother Coleman how a Shem for me it's the world that corresponds to the terror because it's zero it's something that we can directly understand and it's called the carpet it's called the honor of a sham because we can give honor to our sham from something that we recognize whereas the real truth of a sham how is infinite it's not something that we can understand and so therefore it doesn't help us to give honor to a sham it just helps us recognize the exaltedness of a sham so that's the idea of sort of calm in how a sham encompasses all the worlds is where that Hashem is beyond our understanding beyond our grasp beyond our perception how he fit he encompasses all worlds equally whereas the Deva malecon mean is how a sham is experienced in each world differently so this is expressed in the two idea of term it says the terror is a shams will and wisdom that's expressed in every world at its own level how we can understand how shams our own wisdom and that's why it's called 32 paths of wisdom because Hashem is willing wisdom descends to each world according to its level that it should know what Hashem wants what a shams one wisdom is in its situation in its world whereas the mitzvahs the commandments of a sham they come from Hashem encompassing life that they're totally not understandable even though we can understand a lot about the Missis we can understand a lot of reasons why we're doing the midst us and some of them make a lot of sense like Anna and your parents are not stealing but the essence of the Mitzvah is that it's essential will of Hashem not because of any reason that we can understand but from Hashem will which is totally beyond all understanding and beyond all the world's so let's go back to in the Mimer translation on page 9 at the bottom P Vahini i'ma resolve in Carrboro Vitara ice ages have said the true glory of a Shem is litera vahanam assumed a racemic Hoffman off gas because the terror comes from a Shem from a shames wisdom shimmer half my name shaft and mama business severs from Cosmo from a shamans wisdom there comes 32 paths can come Xiao Han I see velocidad work me welcome welcome just like a path that's made to travel from one place to another car when the heinous hoffmeir on him chef - Papa - how so - from a shames wisdom this knowledge from Hashem divides up in varies according to each level near is my Malika all mean that it should permeate all the world's Jim Shella gosh miss mama SH until it comes down into our physical world refer to stealing our terror in the specific laws of the Dara gosh apostle Hulu what things you allowed to you are things you're not allowed to eat four things are valid for missus which things are not Valdez from its law shame Indian M Kashmir which these aren't physical matters German semesters hulu Canada with the mitzvos all the mitzvahs in the Tara have to do with physical things but Finland is made from the skin of a cow and since this is made from wool from a sheep and those are from animals for this missus we also do with vegetation that it's a mitzvah in the Land of Israel it's a straw to give from the crops to the cone handle AV which that's idea of trimmer and my sir however the missus come from a different aspect emotions of elation our they have missus named chef Judy or maybe I cannot say we call me sugar Tina's Markieff but through the mitzvahs it's revealed the light of a Shem that encompasses all worlds which is something transcended and encompassing the onion what does that mean Coquina you do a tyrannous and muslin officially keys you know the terror is called food nourishment for the goddess or a commercial customer service if me I like it says a new Tara comes into my innards it comes into my stomach is something I can ingest cook murder of Michelle Hamas and that it's just like food chain is not specific to Adam which comes all the way inside of a person for NASA is peplum you see and it becomes his life inside of him the actual life of the person is from the energy that he receives from a food McArthur idea turn himself giving herself fast so - through the study of the Terra there's a revelation of the light of a shams wisdom it's Mu Sigma say gamma mesh that should be actually understandable to the godly soul what's in the variable field ha and furthermore it says in the plastic Hashem puts his words in our mouth by saying by saying he puts it in our mouth that's like saying that we're eating it we're ingesting and receiving life from the study of the Torah so the study of the Torah is not just like the study of how the deal like the study of another subject that when you study it and makes you smarter it makes you more wise whereas when a Jew studies Tara not only does it become smarter not only does it become more wise but the godly light that God the revelation litera you come to reveal to him and give some actual additional life it actually enlivens him just like when you eat food that the energy received from the food gives you additional physical life when a Jew studies Tara the spiritual energy which is in the Tara becomes invested in the person becomes additional life spiritual life for the person behind evolution a smart family come in this is because it comes from the level of Hashem permeates all worlds internally she miss lavish Brahmin villainous enemies mom-ish which becomes invested in the worlds that it should be actually internalized Alva hominis is not similar Buechele enough to share the keys but the mitzvahs become garments for the godly soul she lucuma thereafter Michelle Halle wash which is just like a garment we all go for the mile of a necklace with minam you see that it covers over the body the person but does not coincide you don't eat your clothing the clothing only goes on the outside of the person the car comes off Farnham chef has a nemesis googliness Markie so - what's drawn down and revealed from Hashem to the mitzvos is an encompassing light of a Shem which you don't eat you can internalize if nation built a massive common because it comes from a revelation of a Shem which encompasses all world which is beyond the division of all the worlds so the mind may have saga which is beyond understanding not just our physical understanding not just the understanding of physical human people but even understanding of the angels and all the spiritual worlds the midst has come from a much higher level from Hashem how encompasses all the worlds equally Vulcan and Hashem use yours too you can beat even mayhem Oh see this is the spiritual reason why clothing is more expensive than food mr. Bhushan who mr. Nalan because in the spiritual source of food and clothing food comes from a light of a Shem which you can internalize and ingest and clothing comes from a later Michelle which is encompassing and since the encompassing light such a much in such a higher level then the light which can be internalized that's why we see that reflected in the physical world that food is less expensive than clothing Lazzaro show kosovo mustafa ceceli bharata full ameer of coil this idea is also expressed when we know that mitzvos are more should be more enjoyable and more precious to a Jew than all the goodness in the physical world and all the goodness in the spiritual world it says in the plus 6 is in the verse that because a Jew did not serve Hashem with great joy with great happiness mayor of Coyle more than all good things that's why he's an exile that's why he has different problems because it wasn't serving Hashem with the true appreciation of the mitzvahs Perisher of kohu behind us GaN Eden what does it mean that you should be more happy to the missus and abundant of all good things was this abundant of all that's the reference to the Garden of Eden to the spiritual level of perceiving as gems revelation hosaka Salukis which is perceiving a knowledge of Hashem she misses him you circling him because the Missis are even higher than having an understanding of Hashem in the spiritual world of granadan shaming Athena's make--the him because the misses come from these encompassing level shadow my longing GaN Eden which is higher than the spiritual world of GaN Eden she was Sagar with vaginas preemies because he can aid in the understanding about a sham is internalized which means it's limited according to the capacity of the creative beans which are having that understanding or as a missus I'm coming from a totally higher level beyond the limitations of a creative means massage tomorrow MMI cigarro minute on mood because of this advantage of missus one that opinions of the sages said the action of the mitzvahs is greater than the study of the terror because like we said the missus come from this encompassing light half of pique Nineveh gumbo Tama Gordo show me the demise say but nonetheless devoted and they came to the conclusion the Torah studies greater because it brings some it says in order to fulfill the myth sister has to first Peter a study for onion what does that mean Kiev solicitor some jacques-yves common are you need permits is masseuse it's not possible to reveal this level of uh shams encompassing light through the mid Swiss to fulfilling the mistress shame in the room gosh once it's meets Amritsar document mom oh gosh me The Hiding fulfil the missus with physical objects since this is from wool from a sheep and sadaqa you give with some actual physical money so the misses are done from are performed specifically with physical objects so in order to reveal this infinite encompassing light of a sham through such course things like physical objects you need something to be an intermediary to connect between the source of the mistress and shams encompassing light and the actual physical object that you're fulfilling the mister with employer are you healthy or she have a mood ceramic hob ROM if not for the study of the Tarot which is intermediary which connects them when I do study Zotero this is what connects the spiritual source of the mitzvahs with the actual object of the mitzvah that is that the myth is being performed with so that when a Jew fulfill the mitzvot the source of the missus review of this encompassing right of a sham which is higher than terror study is revealed in the Mitzvah through the fact that she was studying terror because since all revelation comes from litera the terrace the shams one wisdom where everything is revealed so terror also reveal the accomplishment of the missus that they reveals what happens when I do doesn't Mitzvah how surveilling the encompassing light of a Shem will come out their ups Michelle but Adam we're gonna give an analogy from a person shed Ibrahim I would say homicide bear might see him Mashable did he give you Hulu that when a person speaks this is intermediary that connects his thoughts which are hidden to other people that they should be able to understand it through his speech so in other words from the perspective of the one speaking his thoughts on a higher level he's thoughts he understands the idea very well and he's when he speaks he's only giving over a limited aspect of his knowledge to the students whereas from the students perspective what they're hearing that's what they're appreciating that's what they it can connect to who they can relate to and what he's thinking they don't know so it doesn't help them so even though essentially the thoughts of the teacher are higher than his speech but from the perspective of the students what's more important is the speech of the teacher is that what he's actually saying because that's what they can understand whereas sauce they can understand except from the students perspective what's more important is his speech even though from the teachers perspective his thoughts might be deeper so the same thing from a chef's perspective the encompassing light of a Shem which is expressed through the mitzvahs is much higher but for sins from our perspective you can't see this encompassing right we can only see the internalized light from a Malik common which is expressed through the study of the Torah so in order that we should be able to appreciate what's accomplished in the mitzvah that's only through the study of the Thera that reveals the accomplishment of the mitzvah okay we're going to go through the summary of the Mimer and the lessons the summary we set up in a wave question and answer to help make it easier to remember the flow of the my mirth question number one the month of L was represented by the postage by the verse on either daily video to thee I am Tosh am who I love and a sham who loves me is connected to me which is an acronym a Russia table is an acronym for the word L the same verse in Sheryl Sheeran also says that a sham nourish with roses hurry about Shoshanna Michelle feeds us with roses what's the connection between saying that we're connected to Hashem Hashem is connected to us and sedl with the idea of eating roses what is that supposed to mean answer number one the Roses here are they kinda have 13 petals this is on page 12 the Roses here are the kind of 13 petals to represent Hashem 13 attributes of mercy and starting an elephant on Yom Kippur it's when Hashem 13 attributes of mercy are revealed to us so when we saying Hashem is feeding as the throws it means Hashem is revealing his thirteen attributes of mercy to us which this gives us the power that we should connect on Shem and we should experience how a sham is connecting to us question number two how do we see his Shems mercy expressed in Oh during the time between Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur we need a Shems mercy judge judges favorably and forgive our sins but the month of L the judgment hasn't been made yet so what wait we see a Shems mercy during that if we're saying that a Seamus 13 attributes of mercy are revealed from the beginning of L from her schmatta shell until Yom Kippur for that 40 day period so the last 10 days of that 40 day period from Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur we understand how much Shems mercy ARC's is expressed because we won Hashem to be merciful and forgive our sins even if we didn't do such good things you want we're asking a sham to be merciful to forgive us but the first 30 days of L harsh I'm not judging us yet so what is and what way do we see a chance mercy answer number 2 the altar will answer later in the rhymer that is shams mercy the alterable will answer later on in the rhymer that ashamed mirth is expressed in that he's giving us the power to do tuba but first explains the idea of truven general to understand the greatness of chuga he first explains the difference between thorough study and myths observance this difference between terror studying and Mitzvah between terror study and midst observance also corresponds to the difference between two ways that a sham expresses himself and we have an encompassing line and the way an internalized light so the point of the Mimer is going to get to is that a shams mercies that is giving us a power of the sugar that's the idea of L - M is revealing his 13 attributes of mercy to reveal a deeper part of our neshama that we should be able to do - but not to understand the real greatness of truth we have to understand a little bit about the idea of terminus in general and then we can understand the advantage of chuva and how we need the 13 attributes of mercy in order to be able to do chula question number three what is the difference between the verse between the plastic I need I fill the heavens in the earth s ession mrs.annie male that a sham himself fills evans in the earth and the pus like Malik o hurts corrode a that the whole world is only full of his glory that's only the glory of a sham it's in the earth answer number three the first verse the first pulsing is describing how a Shems encompassing life equally fills the heavens and the earth without any distinction just like hashem is equally found everywhere so just like Hashem is everywhere there's no place where Shem isn't so - this light of a Shem is found in all worlds equally that's what it says I felt the heavens and the earth and the encompassing light of a Shem is expressing the idea how a sham is equally found in the heavens in earth and all at levels the second verse is describing a sham light that varies according to the capacity of every individual creation that is that this light of a sham which is expressed differently to every creative being giving each specific creature the light and that an existence that it needs so this is the second verse the whole earth is full of his glory that this light of a sham which is internalized and it's expressed in each creature differently this light is called a shams glory why because just like the idea of glory is something that you recognize you show glory you show honor to someone when you recognize his greatness so what a creative being is able to understand about a sham that's how it gives honour to our Shem and since every creature understands a Shem differently so the way that it gives honour to a sham will also be different according to its understanding of a Shem question number four what is the advantage of Torah study over Mitzvah performance and the advantage and the greatness of mr. performance over Torah study in other words both of them have an advantage so what's the unique advantage of each one answer to question number four the advantage of Torah study is that it comes down into our understanding and feeling and becomes food for the godly soul for the nefesh of the keys giving it life internally this is because it comes from a shelf light that becomes revealed and internalized to each creature a person individually the advantage of the mitzvahs is that they connect us to shams encompassing light which is beyond our limitations and they become the garments for the divine soul allowing it to connect to the infinite greatness of Hashem however terrorists study has an additional advantage that even the mitzvahs need the Torah study to reveal the connection to a Shem that they accomplished so in other words Torah study has the advantage that is something that we can internalize we can understand it gives us life in art and permeates our whole being or as Mistress the advantages they connect us to the infinite greatness of Hashem which is beyond the limitations but there's an additional advantage to thorough study that even this accomplished out of mitzvahs how it connects us of infinite greatness of Hashem needs the Torah stone in order that that accomplishment should be revealed lessons in the service of Hashem from the first part of the Mimer lesson number one since a sham is found everywhere in all times the situations and is equally present this means it can't be any situation in our life that has no connection to Hashem it can't person can't say this and this in these aspects of my life I understand how a Shem is there and I shall not stay in care of me but since in this aspect of my life I don't see how a sham is taking care of me so maybe Hashem isn't there a hospital a person can't say that because the real truth of a Shem is that there can't be anywhere where he's not they can't be that the summer where Shem is not there which also means there can't be any situation that Hashem is not creating an - is not present so since in every situation our life Hashem is there a sham is present that means that that's another opportunity to connect to Shem even up the situations where it looks very difficult and you don't see a shams presence and looks like Hashem just removed himself from the situation hasta song but really in those situations that's another opportunity around another way to connect to Hashem by serving a sham in that situation like we saw recently there was a closet there was a special Jew name of Sean Mordechai Bachchan that he was in jail for several years for eight years and he served the Shem in jail and this was a great accomplishment he didn't say since I shall abandon me and he put me in such a negative place so let's say I forget about it forget about serving Hashem you said no if I'm here it's because Hashem is here and if a sham is here then I can connect to a sham here and this is true for every Jew in every situation lesson number two Hashem reveals himself distinctly to every creative being according to its capacity that means Hashem is not only creating and giving us life but he's really teaching and interacting with us on a personal level each person can recognize that a Shem is personally involved with him or her and is both teaching guiding them throughout their life all we need to do is keep our eyes open to see it in other words not just as a Shem or creator and notices is a shame our provider Hashem is our teacher Hashem expresses himself to us in ways that we can understand when we think about the events in our life and we think about what's going on around us we can realize that Shem has a plan for us and everything that happens there's a purpose and a shamans a purpose has a purpose and a plan for us but he wants us to accomplish in this world Anna she was always teaching us things and we have to see how a man that light besides being the infinite and exalted and besides being for the just the Creator he's also our teacher who's directly involved with us lesson number three when we learned Tara it becomes our life just like when we eat food we ingest any gives us life when we don't Tara becomes our life not only doing a sanitary as a subject now we have to follow its instructions it becomes the focus of everything that a life is about the way we think about everything in our life our family our career our health etc is all seen through the lens of a terrorist perspective and the Torah gives everything spiritual depth and meaning so the Tarot become aware of how to connect a Shem in every situation how did she live at every moment with Hashem so in other words when we study Tara it becomes every aspect of our life receives a new focus a new perspective and a new depth and no meaning through the study of the Torah so it's not just a subject and it's not just a set of instructions but every aspect of her life becomes permeated by it lesson number four even though mitzvahs give us the ultimate connection to the infinite greatness of Hashem they also need the Torah study to reveal that connection when we study about the mitzvahs and how they connect us to a sham this enables us to actually experience some of that connection in our conscious mind and feelings so when we study about what happens when the Jew lights Shabbos candles when a Jewish woman nice job as kind of my Jewish man puts on tefillin but we study about what this accomplishes and how its connecting to us to a Shem what it means that a Jew is connecting to Hashem to Mitzvah and we learn about that we think about it were cording to a Hasidic teaches and where all the parts of the Torah teach us this enables us to experience in our mind in our heart a little bit of what is a great accomplishment how the midst was really connecting us to this essence of a Shem to the infinite as the greatness of Hashem and we're able to be conscious and aware of that when we study about the mitzvahs this concludes part 1 of the Mimer part 2 of the Mimer Vahine a chapter 2 we can achieve it it's written how your muscly son today in this physical world that is where we get to do the Misses that's what we're able to fulfill the misses hi I'm dr. Koh specifically specifically today Shaboom has a horn occur under my set in this world is called the world of action via her master Shuga were able to do chuhwa in this physical world so not only this is only word world only place where we can do miss this is also the only place we can do teshuva much in kimberlyn hub which is not the case in a spiritual world to come but after a person passes away they go to spiritual world in that world and unable to do too but not only the captain miss is there they can't reach over there also even though chuva you would think is a spiritual act spiritual idea that he's changing his thoughts and his feelings and he regrets what he did in his success to do better so he why can't he do that there also we understand why you can't do missus in the spiritual world after a person passes away because misses are with physical things but if the main idea of chuhwa is in the heart so why can't you do too but there also answer is because the power for true VAR comes from Hashem doing that encompasses all worlds and this encompassing light is expressed specifically in the physical world machine King von Harbou which is not the case in the spiritual world to come he may converge to who the way that he is cast assured that's how he shall remain Shane okay apophysis Mamiko moshu he's not able to change himself from the way he is well however person is when they pass away that's how they have to deal with the situation in that spiritual world excuse me a militiaman mineral Bush I'm not sayin unless Hashem takes away this unclean garments which means unclean garments of the unholy thoughts speech in action that he did in his lifetime which are called the garments of the soul so that unholy thoughts speech and action these are the unclean garments have to be removed how do you Howard there move lady calf acalypha Lu through spiritual cleansing for example the spiritual idea of the slingshot when just like a slingshot it takes a stone in it flings it very far so the soul the neshamah gets flung from the spiritual world to the physical world back and forth and search it experience how detrimental it was that it took such a deep and powerful godly soul and and got it mixed up with unholy things so she'd experience a little bit how how negative that is so by being flown back and forth so that's cleaning it from that process of who asked my inner flow however the person himself is not able to remove his negative his unholy garments of thought speech indeed only through the spiritual cleansing process tompa whats the reason mushroom shalom harlow our move notion vanning because regarding the spiritual world to come the sages said there the soul sits and it enjoys it it appreciates the revelation of a sham shrewd efficient was Sugimoto cosmo genesis ago beginning Amish because there is understands about hashem in a way that it can directly perceive it the aim came home looking as a male common which is comes from Hashem revelation which permeates which fills all worlds internally massage with anise coulis which becomes invested and expressed in the world in a revealed manner the Venus Monica mean who Bravo Genesis how coos cannot and a Shem slight that permits that fills all worlds internally it varies according to each creative being meaning according to the limitations of each created being so this revelation of Shem is also limited because it comes to each limited being according to its nature volcanium hope of Athena Zoe you have cylinder have faith the looking at Ferris so therefore it's not possible for him in this situation of the spiritual world where everything is defined everything is set everything is limited that he should change to being something totally different aspiration Michael walking when you've done some easy since everything is divided up and defined and and established some things are not able to change the whole alphabet Fatima come over everything to be only in a specific place are Vauban hobby ish machinist are a civic omean however a Vavoom Hafsa each machinist are still common however when page 15 part 2 of the - turn on page 14 we're now in the second Hebrew mine on page 15 of a poem has a ish machinist are self coming but in this physical world there's an expression of a shams light that encompasses all worlds Rafa be issued by a machinist Alan even though this expression of a share in the physical world is hidden Shana must seeking but we can't understand this encompassing a light of a sham in the physical world come on Campos hook on but nonetheless it's a its effect here it's its power and its ability to affect is here so even though you can't directly see this encompassing light in the physical world the fact is where is it expressed more strongly whereas it able to have an actual effect is in this physical world Rafi Tsubaki massive calm in Chicago Marva because this aspect of a sham how he encompasses our worlds which makes all the world seem equal because it's equally found in all the worlds inside activity Telugu from this level of a shams encompassing light there exists a level in Hashem will in a shims expression that it's like as though it doesn't make a difference what a person does that if a person acts appropriately or inappropriately he still not anything compared to a Shem Hashem is so infinite that doesn't make a difference what's going on and even though obviously that's not true the truth is a chef cares about every single thing we're doing that it should be in the best possible way but a Shem created a certain level where it's as though Hashem is so infinitely removed so it doesn't make a difference what's going on why not sham creates such a level that it's as though there's no difference between good and bad between holy and unholy Hashem created this level in order that we should be able to have the free will to choose to do unholy things so that we should have the free will to choose to do holy things if the real truth of a sham would be obvious and wield in the physical world we would have no free choice it would be obviously have to serve a sham a sham created a level where it looks as though Hashem doesn't care whether it is good or bad whether this holy or unholy and that's why I feel that allows on holiness to exists so that when we choose to do good things and to do holy things is our choice and furthermore Hashem created this level in order that we should be able to do chuhwa because just like a person chose to do unholy things at this he could also choose to do holy things just like a person changed over from good to bad he can change over from bad to good that's why Shem created this level and this love was connected to the encompassing light of a sham because if you're saying that Hashem is encompassing everything and everything is equal so that is good and bad is also equal theoretically like we said before it's not really equal the main thing Hashem really cares that we should only do good things you should only do holy things but from this encompassing light of a Shem there exists an ashram created such a level where there's a possibility to say that it doesn't make a different star sham so that we should have the free will to choose the service Shem even though there's unholiness and that we should be able to do to bow and transform yourself from bad to good the alkane the honey mustard sugar and that's why we're able to the children in the physical world because this encompassing light of a Shem where the infinite possibilities exist is expressed in this physical world shakshuka East Russia gum or the even though a person could be right now completely wicked Buddha Matamata on a very low level you know it's a police article he could change him so over to be a great righteous man or woman we sent her a society of Kalu because of this expression of this encompassing light of a Shem which is infinite and allows all types of possibilities with zero maruca's our velocities have said here for Jacques it's best Shuba mass until von hase Nicole found ABBA so on the end of page 15 turning over to page 16 this one a sages have said it's better one moment one time of Yeshua and good deeds in this physical world then all the wife of a spiritual world to come key hilum Harbor who Rock emotion Esmeralda common because why for the world to come the spiritual world to come is only from a shelf life that fulfills all world internally and is limited according to the creative beings surely they give us with consuming which comes to many limitations Vietnam Abajo like it says the spiritual world comes from the letter Y just like a yard is one dot is the smallest of all the letters and it's like one dot sort of it's shaped like a Don
