Welcome to our class on this. We're going to be learning a beautiful discourse. The name of the discourse is called Basus Tu. The Reb said this discourse on the 13th day of the month of Tish which is the anniversary of the passing of the Reb Maharash. Reb went on to certify and edit thisic discourse in the in in tre in honor of of honor of the holiday of the year which is 49 years ago. So again theic discourse is based in the verse in the Torah where it says that were commanded to sit in the for seven days every native born of the Jewish people we know the questions that are asked in the discourse of the of the we have to understand the double expression and know it says for seven days who is that command to all the Jewish people so why does it Israel every native born of the Jewish people sitting a suka it's a double expression also we have to understand in the general idea of the mitzvah of suk seemingly there's an there it's there's opposites here why because sitting in the suka has to be tu to sit like you like you dwell there know every single day of the seven days of sukot you make your suka that becomes your comfortable place that becomes your default place where you hang out. You see, you eat, you eat there, you sleep there, you hang out there, and you don't really hang out much in the house. In other words, just like throughout the year, where's your main dwelling place in the house? You do everything you need to do in your house. So, that's the way you're supposed to sit in the suka. And know you should make your suka that this is the place that's that's where I hang out. This is my place for these seven days. That's on one hand. But on the other hand, the whole idea of building the suka is a temporary abode. In other words, it's actually part of the condition of the mitzvah of suka. And matter of fact, that's one of the reasons why if you have a suka which is higher than 20 amote is disqualified. And one of the reason is because until 20 that's a temporary abode. But once you already going building up, that's already an established abode. And a and a suka has to be a temporary abode. But nevertheless, what are we saying? that you have to sit in the suka like it's a permanent dwelling. So, so seemingly on one hand we want we have to sit there like it's permanent but then they have the structure has to be one of temporary. Now when it comes to the mitzvah suka there's another idea we need we need clarification. The suka we know is a positive commandment that is cont constricted to a certain time. Besides the fact that the suka is a set time, it's also set in a space cuz you have to have a place which is appropriate for a suka. For example, if you make a suka underneath the tree, it's like you're doing it in your house. It's not appropriate for a suka. However, when it [clears throat] comes to or any other any other any other holidays, so we find limitations only in time, but we don't find that there's a limitation in terms of the space. take pes it has to be in a set time it doesn't be in a set space and here suk is unique that it has to be in a set space okay in continuation of the mitzvah of sitting in the suka where it says so then we have the mitzvah of taking the four species like the verse says you should take on the first day the four different species and the mitzvah of sitting in the when does that start right in the second the starts and afterwards and a continuation to that in the morning when you get up at um when when when the when the the sun rises etc. So then you have the mitzvah of of of taking the four species and because the mitzvah of the four species is specifically by day. So what do we see from here? That the mitzvah of taking the four species has a connection to the suka and especially like we know that the there's different levels in doing a mitzvah. The mitzvah and mk the the the highest way of doing a mitzvah. The preferred way of do doing the mitzvah is that you take the four species in the suk. So we see there's a connection between the four species with the mitzvah of you have to sit in the suka. So we have to understand the connection between these two ideas and know the mitzvah of suka and taking the four species specifically in the suka and because seemingly they're two different mitzvah those mitzvah of suk is for seven days however the mitzvah of taking the four species the main mitzvah and biblically is only the first day also we know that there's a difference between the beta mikdash and outside the beta mikdash and like the the the the tells us the uh the the the in the institution of the zak and from and that the way it's a difference between the the the the first day and the rest of the days. So and and there's a different that come out that apply even today between the difference between the first day and the days afterwards. Now in the four species itself we have to understand why were these four species picked the lulash and the raot. Now, even though what they do have all in common that they're from the from the part that grows. So, you may have things that grow, but [snorts] nevertheless, even though they have one thing in common, they all have to grow, but they're they're each unique. They're each different. And the and every one of them has to be in a way of they have to be beautiful. Like it says you should take pre-age and the Talma tells us that this now referring to the to the is referring to all the species even though it says specifically been referenced to obviously applies to all of them. Now besides the questions we just brought up we know what Kazal tell us that the reason why Hashem gave us the mitzvah was to refine us and let's explain many many places the purpose of the mitzvah to refine us. We should come refine people. Besides the fact that the main mitzvah where we know it says when you say the blessing we say God sanctified us with his commandments and he commanded us and we are doing it why to fulfill the command and the will of Hashem. So that's in general but in addition to that every mitzvah has a specific um lesson and message to our spiritual service with God. And the same thing also with our spiritual service in the holiday sukot. Both the mitzvah of sitting in the circa for seven days and the general idea of to take on the on the first day biblically at least the the the four species. And same thing also when it comes to the sim the joy that we have to have when they pour the water in the temple. And today obviously suk sha and every one of these components the suka the four species the the joy and sukasa has something which applies to us on a spiritual level which is basically to refine us and the same thing also applies to to the the day of now even though on one hand it's its own holiday but nevertheless it's still called the eighth so obviously it has it has a connection to the seven days before and not only that and more than that Not only does have a connection to sukkot and just like literally when you come to the to the eighth day. So in order to get to the eight you have to have seven days beforehand. But the same thing also on the spiritual level of know even though the spiritual service of the 8 day and together with comes after know means it's obviously higher than the the the spiritual work ofot but nevertheless what causes us to get to the level of is the spiritual work of the seven days before that. So, so, so what do we see from there? That what happens through the spiritual work of Sukkot which that causes and that creates to us to have a higher level of serving Hashem which when we reach to the level of what of okay so in order to understand all the services and he's explained as follows. It says in the in in the verse you shall blow is referring to you blow the then it says covered up it's covered up for the for the day of the holiday is referring to what it's referring to I like to explain many places and that's why it says what does that mean all the ideas that were they were covered up and concealed before the holiday and especially things that were covered up and concealed in Russ because in reference to Rash it says clearly and matter of fact it says the the the day of you're going to come home which referring to and that's and and and that's why he says you should blow as an introduction to so everything that's concealed throughout the month of more specifically in the holiday [snorts] [cough] get gets reveal forkot and like the medra says that when what happens rash we don't know who's going to be successful hashem giving us a good year or not but when the Jewish people go out and they're holding their and they're holding the then we know the then we know that the Jewish people are successful in other words what happens on sukus is it gets revealed that we were successful and the way that's revealed to everybody up [snorts] to the point that the whole world reels A whole whole world sees that we're successful. Now even though the success happened in Russ like the Medra says look at this nation that we know Hashem who he is and Hashem [snorts] we know that Hashem is going to do a miracle and we're all going to be successful in our jud judgment. So obviously we know for sure that Rashana we going to have we have we're going to be written we were we were written for we're written and signed for a good year. But the ultimate goal is that the that the that the that the success the written and sealed for a good year shouldn't just be written in a concealed. It should be revealed and that happens as it says but whatever was concealed. Yeah we were wonderful. We we got a great year committed to us but it's concealed gets revealed. So the success that took place in the concealment comes out in the revealed way and then we come to the highest level. Now [snorts] that's an introduction. So get in other words whatever happened before it's concealed. Our success gets revealed on sukot. Now yum kipper is also called in the verse in the prophets and like it's explained in the Torah and um in the uh other other books. So y kipper we know is in the 10th day of the seventh month and in the beginning of the month is [snorts] the is of that of that month is rash and so so you see y kipper is connected to rash a it's called that in the verse and it's also connected to 10 days later more than that kazal tell us that it's called the 10 days between rash and kipper so you see that rash and kipper is part of the 10 days and they're basically the same idea so therefore what do we see from here the yum kipper >> [snorts] >> get which gets drawn in everything that took place in rash. What does that mean? So explains in he says as follows that yum kipper is all about drawing in the soul and in an internal way and since enjoying it in an internal say the word in Hebrew in a pimeute an internal way that's very very important. So obviously everything else on yum kiper is all about pimeas. Yum kipper is all about internalizing. Now [snorts] also this drawing in of yam kipper we're internalizing it but it's also concealed and when does it come out where we see it in a revealed way that we're successful and up to the point where it's like totally revealed that obviously happens in the holiday which because all about what's the idea of what's joy is all about revealing and when does it get revealed it starts the process ink which on the 15th day of the month as You know on the 15th day of the month you have where the moon is complete. So know what's saying now that is connected and what's the whole idea of it should be internalized and that happens in what does it get revealed? It starts on and it gets fully revealed onto. So based on understand why we find the connection between blowing in the chauffar and sukkot because we know that the which is basically the covering of the suk and a matter of fact the whole suk is called based on the covering the and like the alter explains in the Jewish law and the laws of sukkot that the suk is called based on the based on the covering and know besides the fact that the suk is the main the covering is the main part of but in thek That gets that's the way it gets expressed the whole idea of and we and we find that which is the name for the covering is made up of three letters and sak numerical value is 60 is 20 and another cup is another 20. So you have 60 20 and 20 you have 100 [snorts] which basically corresponds to the 100 blast that you blow in rash. We blow 100 blasts and the 100 blasts that you blow in rash is connected to the that's the numerical value and what's the reason because since what's the whole idea of of sukus it basically it draws in rash and basically rash every all the blessings come down through blowing the through the blast but then it's concealed and then it gets revealed totally in the holiday in the so that's in terms of the connection between and and and and andot and the same thing applies to Kipper because we know that the is compared to the clouds of glory like coins opinion that of the of the one the Talmud that the the the Sukkot were they were basically they were clouds of glory and matter of fact the brings in in the laws of Sukkot and where does the clouds of glory come from it and actually comes from the so first he showed the 100 blast is connected to the numerical But also the yum kipper the the the incense that was brought is connected what to the holiday of sukkot and what does that mean explains it this first everything gets drawn down rash through the the blast gets drawn down we can have a written and seal for a good year and then it gets internalized yum kipper and this drawing down the yum kipper what happens what through the through the clouds of glor glory like it says that the the the the the cloud of the of the incense went over the the the the holy of holies and in general through the spiritual work of the high priest in the in the holy of holies and from the the highest service kipper of the of the incense comes we are into this the the covering of the suka because the suka the covering of the was made from the clouds of glory so based on this says we'll understand the explanation and the the point of everything we brought up before what does that mean like What is the spiritual work on yum kipper in the holy of holies? So it took place on time in a set time the 10th of the month and and what and and and what is what is yum kipper called? It's actually called it's the one day of the year and just like in time it's one in time. So the same thing also in the soul level and in the world which is basically space. It's basically one in time in soul and space. Now there's the work that happens through the coen [snorts] which he's obviously the holiest and he's actually the one there's only one high priest of the Jewish people and like it says clearly the Torah says byem separated to sanctify and to work in the holy of holies and the work in the holy of holies which is the place the holiest place in the world and even higher than obviously the bet mdash itself now on these three components of the world the space, the the holy space, the time and the year and the soul that is the foundation of everything that exists in the whole world like it comes down from its source and that and and and from this is actually the foundation of what it says in safety for these three components up to the point and then and and from here it goes from its source. these three levels where it comes down to space, human being and and and and and and and time. It comes from the way it was created from the essence of the infinite part of Hashem and like the author explains in the essence the essence of the creator and the essence of the creator is someone that created himself and it's not because of something that caused it to happen. That is the only power and the ability to create something from nothing literally from nothing. [snorts] And that's what happens on the one day of the year and in in time in space and in soul that everything gets unified through the spiritual work of the of of the of the high priest in the holy of holies and it connects to the essence of Hashem that brings it back down that energy into which uh which means smoke but it's abbreviation forum space time and the soul and from this level of oneness which happens anum kipper. So kipper told about this oneness oneness in space, oneness in time, oneness in soul. But then it gets revealed when in Sukkot like the like explained the Mishna in the in the work of Yumiper that the the high priest would wait in the holy of holies until it was full of smoke and we said smoke again isan which is world time and soul and from this smoke which is the spiritual work of the oneness that's how we have the the covering on the holiday sukkot now so [clears throat] What is it all about? What do we explain that yum kipra is all about the oneness and the oneness gets connected to suka now goes on to say the beginning of the of drawing down this the light of oneness it actually started in rash why because what's our work in rash we're making god king over us that we draw down the kingdom of god from the from he snatch us from the highest level of god himself in other words the way god is in himself And that should be revealed. We want God to be our king. What the essence of God. And when we draw down God to be our king. He's going to be a king over us. Then when God becomes a king over us, he becomes actually a king over the whole world. Now when God becomes a king over us, the way kingdom is, it's not God forbid forced. It's Barza in its will. And it's not only God's ruling over everything, but the main point is he's doing it. He's doing it from from he wants to rule the world because he's the explains that when it comes to ruling there's two ways to rule. You can rule by force and if you don't have a will but when we go ahead and we say to Hashem we want you to be king over us. We're we're drawing down God in the whole world and all levels and the level when we reach the level of let's come down let's let's bow down prostrate ourselves to Hashem we want you Hashem. So that what happens in rash then on the 10th day of the month then we internalize that oneness through the spiritual work of the gul in the holy of holies and and and and and in that one level of time and afterwards in sukkot what started in rashashana continued in kipper comes revealed place in sukkot there there's a success that happened starting from the from the success that god becomes the king over us and god rules the whole world and he and Not only that, even a higher level that that we accepted willingly. We want God to be a king of us. So then it gets revealed and and not only to us but to all the 70 nations of the world. And that's one of the reasons why in the holiday we actually bring 70 bulls for the 70 nations of the world. Now this drawing down gets revealed where how does it get revealed in the four days between yum and so even before started between the four days in the beginning by learning tora and by doing mitzv what kind of learning the laws of and learning the laws of the four the four species because when you go ahead and you learn it even though we're in exile and even though that we're not we we we not all the details apply to us. But what happens is it happens like like like like it says in when you learn to when you learn to you connect to everything. So even though you don't necessarily do something learning connects you and when you go ahead and draw that it should come down in a revealed place by learning to then it gets it comes down to the level of action by doing the mitzvot and obviously it's still in the level of action the mitzvah but then it comes down into the whole world that the whole world sees the way a Jew goes ahead and does a mitzvah until it comes out like it says in the medish that have the nations of the world know how great the temple was for them. They would actually surround it with protection because it's actually for their benefit. And this impact of the mikdash on the nations when does that happen? It happens in the holiday in a revealed way by bringing the 70 bulls for the seven nations like explained at lens in different drum of the kazal. Now based on we just learned that what is the whole idea of suka? It's connected to what to one day a year it started and then obviously deeper in and so that's in terms of time and also what in space the space of the holiest place in the world and the soul level so now we'll understand why when it comes to holiday it says every native born of a Jewish per person like the kazal tell us that it's possible for the whole Jewish world, everybody, millions of people to sit in one suka. Why? Because oneness is revealed in sukot. You can say how is it possible so many people in one suka different dominations etc. And the answer is because sukus is connected to which is all that one is and and oneness gets revealed in the holiday to explain says we understand it well we understand it um based on what it says like this and like it's explained actually in different discourse of the different that why is it that we're saying that the whole Jewish people can sit in one because the verse says everyone of the Jewish people. So the question is we learn out from which part of the verse that's the second part of the verse. The fact is the first part of the verse says so we can say we can learn out that everyone will sit in one suk why do we have to learn from the second half of the verse and what's the explanation the general explanation is like in the in the language of kabala that in the beginning we're beginning which means in the beginning before god created the world before there was any contraction before there's any tsum so what happened was the infinite part of hashem took was all over the place and therefore if hashem is all over how can you create a world you It wasn't even a possibility to create a world. What happened? Hashem went ahead and in the language of Kabala, God was all over create a world. So he basically created an empty space. He moved his life to the side after he moved to the side came down a circle and then came down a line and like it goes into length all the different levels the way he came down from there. And like it's explained in and um other places and like it's explained also in the books of now this this idea that God was all over the place before the contraction of light. So what is that called in in it's called the infinite part of of God is there and up to the point [cough] that you're able to have some kind of connection with the world. But since the infinite part of Hashem was all over the place, so you couldn't create a world. But even over there, even in that place where the infinite part of Hashem was there and therefore there was not a possibility to create a world there, you create an empty space and you're able to create a possibility and that you can say that you know that that in that place where you couldn't have had a world all of a sudden you can have a world and even on a higher than that like Kazal tell us before Hashem created the world what existed only Hashem and his name even on this level already you have details You have you say what existed Hashem and his name. So it's Hashem and his name. There's different levels and and and and and like we say that the revolutionary part is that this level was there was there was there was an existence. So and like it's explained in discus before this one said that however the essence and the imprint upon Hashem is even higher than this. So even in this space so with one hand we're saying you couldn't have the world then he went and create an empty space you couldn't have the world what was there his name and etc. [snorts] But Hashem is much higher than all these levels and up to the point you can't even say to Hashem that he hovers over the world and he and he hovers over from a distance etc. Why? Because the essence of Hashem is not not part of all these terminologies and levels up to the point besides him nothing else exists and higher than that it's only besides him nothing else exists he's only no anoid there's nothing else the only thing that exists is hashem when can you say besides him there's nothing else when there's a lad you say there's nothing else besides him but on a higher level no there's nothing besides him and like it's explained elsewhere that that this little nuance that we say you know there's nothing there there's nothing that's in the radar now since the Jewish people what's our source not in the empty space not even in the in the light that exists before the empty space our source is in the source of the Jew is in the essence of hem before any levels and even possibility etc so obviously we have a connection connection since that's our source. We have a connection to that source and we can actually have an impact in the essence of Hashem even on the way he's on a level of the higher than than infinite and even higher than the level of him in his name. And that's why Khazal tell us when Hashem came to create the world who do he consult with about creating the world but the souls of the righteous people. What does it mean he's consulting? [snorts] He's consulting because obviously they're they're in the high level and even in a place which is above above above space because sins [clears throat] on the highest level it's it it Hashem doesn't have to create the world. It was his will. There was no forcing him. So obviously even on that level they were Hashem consulted with them. So therefore he can say that when Hashem consulted it's even he's consulting even on the highest level before he even had a plan of creating the world. And that's why he says who do he consult with the souls of the righteous of sadikim. And like you know who is a sad you say oh it's only righteous people. No says when we say he consulted with the souls of sadikim it's all the Jewish people. Why? Because it says the whole nation is aim because every one of us is sourced in the the essence of Hashem and therefore we reach to the highest level. Now this Hashem consulted is even like what you call like a like a a lower level soul on so to speak on if you want to create levels and like the the famous parable of the the the mag that he he gives it an example of a of a father and and and his young chun a young child and since he gives the the analogy so to speak of a of a of the father like so to speak to God so the same thing also that young and older was the same thing to him because compared to God, what's the difference bigger and small? There's no such thing. But that's what Hashem wanted. He wanted to the the souls of the Jewish people and every one of us is a sadic and every one of us has a connection with the in part of Hashem. And that's why the source of the Jewish people is in the essence and infinite part of Hashem. Now since it's now in the beginning of the year and we have to bring down all the levels of all the worlds and all the spirit etc from new and now it should come down but it has to be revealed. So how do we how do we bring it down? You got to go to the one. We got to go to the highest player. We got to go to the highest and drawing this down. But not only drawing it down, it should be revealed. When does it happen? It happens on sukot. And that's why what is the what is a spiritual work of sukot has to be specifically we need one suka. Why one suka for everybody? Because the suka of oneness is connected to the spiritual workinger on all three levels of nephesh space soul and time because when we go ahead and do the spiritual work of suk of one suka what do we reach we reach the one hem where hashem is higher in any levels and since we have nothing else to call him and that's why we call him one to the essence of hashem what does one mean [snorts] one means >> [clears throat] >> oneness and like it says in the Talvot and the the name you oneness it what does it mean it it receives from the from the oneness of Hashem so the same thing also in reference to sukah one suk which basically is connected idea the oneness and since the suk is connected to that level so therefore it's able to come down since it's connected to the oneness of god it's able to come down to this world that we can all sit in one suka because sukas we're all about no divisions. Why? Because the source is in the highest level. And from this reason, what happens? What gets drawn down into the suka even into this physical world on the lowest level? Because when it comes to when you're connected to the essence of Hashem, there's no higher and lower. There's no hierarchy. So know when you're when you're playing with higher and lower and more important, less important, guess what? You're not connected to the higher space. But when you're connected to the oneness of Hashem, it's all good. It's all good. It's all about oneness. Now, drawing down the essence of God, not conceptually. Oh, there's one God. No, no, in a real way, in a real way. One, when is that going to happen? Unfortunately, when Msiah comes, that's ultimately going to happen when Msiah comes. Because what's going to happen when Mashiach comes? Like the prophet tells us, God's going to be revealed. Everyone's going to see the flesh is going to see there's only one God. and a higher that like it says in the prophet there's not going to be any more protection over anything you're going to see we're going to see like explains in so that's going to happen when Mashiah comes but even higher than that there's the level of oneness what does that mean so that's when Msiah comes no in a higher level what's oneness when you're able to bring oneness into this physical world and therefore what the the the greatest revelation of this unfortunately is going to be when Messiah comes so based on this understand why Kazal told us that this that we're saying that we can sit in one we learn it out from the second half of the verse not from the first half of because when it says in the for seven days that's referring to the work in the um uh in the sixth millennium that that we're living in and and in this world that we're in we still don't we don't have yet the the oneness seven so it's different different levels that We don't so we that we don't have the oneness. It's there's levels but in that but and that that level of oneness is really going to be Mashiach comes but that's when you learn because what does Ezra mean? So Ezra has multiple translations. One translation of Ezra is is going to be is referring to the future what's going to shine in the future and like it's explained in many discourses. When we say you're already thinking about the future and the future it's really oneness and that's also applies to the laws of that the the the letters of asun which ezra is from olive refers to the future and that's why he says ezra what the ol in the future we're going to have one is and that's where we're all going to be able to sit in one suk and that's where we learn it now from the second half of the verse but nevertheless even so you can say, "Oh my gosh, let's wait for the future." No, no. Even today, in the six millenniums that we're living in, what what what shines here is a ray and it shines from the oneness of what's going to be like in the future. Not only that, the re the revelation of the oneness of the future comes just like all the revelations of the future comes through our work, our work and our actions specifically now. So what do we see from here? that even today we have a taste an array of the oneness and that's why kazal tell us that it's possible for all the Jewish people to sit in one suka and it's referring to not in the future today because even today we have the possibility that everyone can sit in one suka similar to what's going to be in the future when mashia comes now this the mere fact that we could sit in one suka to sit there we learn from where kala ezra which we say is an idea of a future know as we take the power and we take from what's shining in the future where it's all about oneness that we should have the revelation of the essence of a god like it says there's not going to be any more concealment concealment so based on what you what we just learned we'll understand also the way the the spiritual worker and and there were things as follows just like we find when it comes to the order of learning tora and doing mitzvah mitzvah given in a way of I'll say in Hebrew I'll translate clo the general idea and is all the details you know the beginning you have the general idea and then it comes down in details and the same thing also in a spiritual work of why is that because becausera um is is obviously in is complete has a lot of lot of details in the Torah like it says clearly in the Torah there's 60 um queens and 80 uh um eight servants and there's a resistance unlimited amount. So in this verse where it says 60 80 and unlimited. So Kazal tells his fellows that 60 is referring to the the the queens referring to Mishna the which part of the Talmud and 80 is referring to the bright totes different parts different parts of the Talmud and then all the ones that are infinite it's all different teaching and all different insights etc and but so that's all the the different the multiplicity the details but before that you have the Tory you have the written the written law and then and like like it says like it says in the Talmud how do you know how do you where does it say this in in in verse means you have to go back to its source where you have the general idea and this is the whole idea of toyra the way it's in all all the details we still have to go back to source but then you have the way to basically is a is a general concept the general concept that's all given us from from from at Sinai and when we say the the the general ideas and the details but so first was first what was given is general ideas and then you have details for example the beginning we receive the ten commandments and in the secondly it's only ten commandments but in the ten commandments was already included all the details of the Torah and not only that but the ten commandments itself was included in the first two commandments of I am God and gods like it says and these two command com general commandments of I am God is all connected to the one first word where it says which is the first word of of the ten commandments and in the anoi itself the alif is is the abbreviation for the world and in the olive you have the general idea of the whole because what's the whole idea of an olive olive is a general idea like it says in the that the the with the utterance of is connected to what it says is here and we know that with the explanation of what does mean so one means one but if you break it down so the the eight is referring to the seven heavens and one earth and the four the four corners of the world and the one that's beforehand is referring to Hashem himself and like explained in the Bah name of and and other places etc. So what do we see from here from the which is connected that's the general idea of the whole Torah. So, so we see that toyra is all about the general idea and then the details. The same thing also when it comes to the spiritual workshot that beginning it comes down the general idea and then it goes down to the details. Why? Because we know in reference to which is basically the the general concept. So kazal tell us what is the mitzvah of it's blowing the now even though it's an awesome day. It's a holy day but we have one mitzvah and in the mitzvah itself all the sounds are kosher for because the mitzvah of is one thing Judaism is simple it's one thing yeah there's details but it's one thing blowing the shaur even an intellectual and explain the mitzvah which basically it's it's hard in the details like the rama writes what's the whole idea of blowing the shaur it's a biblical commandment which means when we're saying it's Biblical commandments it's higher than comprehension. We could comprehend it but it's higher than that because when it comes to comprehension there there's the there starts and it ends and there's details etc. However, when it comes to blowing the it's higher comprehension it's a it's a it's a biblical commandment which is higher than that. So that's what we see the same concept the general idea of it's all about blowing the you have details same thing also when it comes to spiritual work of yum kipper. Now even though there's a lot of work I mean you read the mak there's so much things that happened in yum kiper but what was the one unique work that took place in yipper it was all about the incense and and and and this spiritual work took place where in the holy of holies in those a work b it was one place in the world and when was it in one one one time of the year and who was it done by the one one high priest which is basically one the level of us all and not only that the The toyas the incess has to be in a way that has to be totally refined. Now even though generally speaking all the instance has to be refined but doesn't come to the level the refinement like like the one day of the kiper one day of the year because then it's totally it's called daka totally in a refined. So we we what the goal is because we want to get to the main point and then it comes down yeah in details and the details itself goes into more details and gets and gets re revealed and and then and and then it comes down to where it starts coming down into the holiday because what's basically all about and drawing this down is higher than details because the fact you look at the covering there's no details in the walls. It's it's is it's different but and and and and and the way it comes down to into the sk like its name. What is means it covers over the person up to the point that it covers where not where it's close to you but it's higher in you and and and it creates actually a shade but not not it creates shade. It creates concealment. It covers up not not light in revelation but specifically then when you have more shade than than light then you're fulfilling suka but afterwards you have to d you have to bring it down in you have to internalize it and that's why it says when you sit there you have to actually dwell there you have to bring the shade of the suka into every part of your life in all details of life and then then you make every part of your life a mitzvah in other words even though throughout out the whole year. We need to uh serve Hashem. Like it says where everything I do, I have to know Hashem. And a wise person is noticeably a wise person with the way you eat, the way you drink, the way you conduct business and the way you interact with people. However, when it comes to holiday sukot just from doing the mitzvah without trying to find the sh and everything when you do it in the suka, boom, you're fulfilling the mitzvah of sitting in a suka. Even though you're eating, you're drinking and business like drama says, but nevertheless, you're all doing in a suka. And afterwards, you have to bring and draw this down this oneness of the suka that that's that that's g which is going to shine obviously in the future when Msiah comes. Like we said before, your soul. We have to bring it down in a deeper level which which we internalize it in our soul and that's why we take the four species because we have to take it and in a way that becomes mine and you bring it you shake it again against your chest and then you bring it into your internal heart or like the expression is in the in the female part of of Zah which basically standing in the chest and but the goal is like explained the discourse the goal is to go ahead and internalize it in a real internalized way. Now based on we just learned by going ahead and taking the four species we're internalizing it. What are we internalizing the oneness? It's all about bringing the oneness in that which which basically started after Rashashana and then in Yum Kipper through the through the through three levels of oneness in in in in space the holy of holies and the the time one day of the year of Yum Kipper and the soul which is the high priest and afterwards we bring into suka. So we understand that when it comes into into all the details by to four species knows what gets noticed even though it's four one even though it's four you got to stay focused on the one what does that mean explains as follows like we explained before at length [clears throat] um the in theic discourse of a of the of the rebarash who were celebrating his yard site that um in the the four species what's noticeable in every one of them unity because in the lulav so it says so capo is written without of and what does that mean and we learned that it has to be capo what does that mean that even though in the lulv you have to have multiple leaves a little is not one one leaf there's multiple but in order to go ahead and fulfill the mitzvah you have to keep them um connected and um every leaf itself is is two that that are together because the goal is it's all about unity a leaf has two parts but together all the different branches together and that creates that that creates something which is really really complete and that's so in the you see in a revealed way you see unity and the same thing also when it comes to the myrtle theim because it says what does it mean they have to they have to be three on three on one level they have to be on the same level you have to have three that's true but it has to be on one level what does that what does that represent one level unity and that's why it's called anaf in a singular way and and obvious which they come together because all about unity. The same thing also when it comes to willow ar. So it says they they grow together because they grow in unity know even though they're they're they're willows which they're out there but nevertheless they grow together and they they're unified and which which represents the whole idea real power of unity and not only that and which obviously is more than more than everything says we see this this idea of unity which we said already the rabbis we see it in the rogue and that's why it's it's actually called it's first in the verse because it says What's the first thing it says take is the prehog. Why is that? Because it says in the Talmud that this says prear is referring to. Why is it called? Because d comes from dwell. It dwells in the year from the whole year from all through seasons. And as we know when the year you have different different seasons from one extreme to the next and the asteroid it tolerates all them. And brings something very very powerful that the previous adds another main point. Not only does the eric tolerate all them, but it actually grows from them. And he brings a proof and something very very powerful because since it it dwells in a place where it's like it's very very hard to dwell there because God would get ruined because it is growing. So what do you see from here? That not only that it tolerates, it actually grows. It grows from every part of them. Every season adds to its beauty and that's the real unity of Esreg that everything gets unified and they we take them all together and we matter and and from here we learn from the Esh we learn out for all the other three how you need real unity and the same thing also you have the the unity in the four species on in our spiritual serving of Hashem because we know what it says in the medish that the four species of the of the lulav is referring there four types of Jewish people starting from the type which is the asteroid which has has taste and has smell which taste and smells referring to learning Torah and doing mitzvot up to the level of the willow which doesn't have not taste not smell not smell which means no Torah mitzvot and you have to unify all the types and when you unify everything that's when you do the will of hashem and then that's why it's on a literal level through unity you of the of the four species and and and and especially in the beginning y in a way of you have to be joy celebrate in front of hashem and that creates um real unity afterwards in a spiritual work um throughout the whole year. So we take away from sukuses unity will give us unity for the rest of the year. So based on what we learned we'll understand all the details of before and the connection of taking the four species and specifically in the suka and also in in the order the way it goes and after you go ahead and you fulfill the mitzvah of basuk in other you go ahead and you internalize the idea of of the oneness of suk. Remember it start one is all about one. You internalize the oneness and it gives you the power to see it and it gives you the power of of oneness. The way it comes down in this world um [clears throat] [snorts] be even before we're going to have the ultimate oneness in the future when Msiah comes. But afterwards you go ahead and you take the four species and you go ahead and you internalize it. And when you internalize it, you reach the level you can reach the level the highest level of sim and like to explain that length through the who was celebrating his yard site that through the four species we create real sim of drawing the water with joy because the fact is even in water there there's joy. Why is that? That's that's that's that's revolutionary because generally we say where's the joy come from? Wine. You drink a some nice wine. Ah this brings joy. But when we do our spiritual work and we take the four species and we have real unity, we can affect that water that you pour the water and water will bring you joy. Normally you're right, water doesn't bring joy. Wine brings joy. But when you when you when you go ahead and you're focused on unity, even water will bring you joy. Up to the level it says whoever saw the joy of never saw joy in his life and the contrary. Um in order to see joy in your life, you have to take and you have to go ahead and take energy and you have to comprehend from where from which is basically the source is all about unity and that will give you the greatest joy and that's why it says for seven days sit and then the verse says all the Jewish people will sit in the and after you have the spiritual work of blowing the rash and and yes you're bringing down the one spirit it's concealed. And then you come to the 10 days between Rash and Kipper. And in reference to those 10 days, it says, "Search out to Hashem when he's available. Call him when he's close. And by saying it, it's it creates an action." And it hap it happens in a literally that we we literally call to Hashem and we reach out to Hashem and that creates an afterwards in the four days between Yum Kip and Sukus and Torah testifies that every single Jewish person is busy learning the the laws of Sukkot and doing the mitzvah of Sukos and after the proper preparation these four days you have the holiday of Sukkot and with all the spiritual insights know the making of the sukot. It's part of the mitzvah like the alter right that in in in in Jewish law that the reason that that we don't we don't make the mitzvah on making the but it's not the end of the it's not the end of the mitzvah and um we make the that's on the making of the sukah we then we come to the holiday of and we fulfill the mitzvah itself that we sit in the and what happens the next morning right in the morning or you have the mitzvah of water taking the four species You take the four species, the the the etrog, the willow, the the myrtle, the the the rabbis and we go and we celebrate with joy in front of Hashem up till we come to the level of real real joy that we have the great joy of um the level where it says that whoever did not see the didn't see real happiness in his life and then we're going to merit that very very soon we're going to have Ezra everyone's going to sit in one suka literally not only be fitting to sit in one suka because we're going to have the redemption, the true redemption, the complete redemption, true msiach, and we'll have fulfill the the mitzvah of of of to be happy in front of Hashem in a complete way and biblically because we're going to have the fulfillment of the building of the base of mikdash, the third temple, the temple that that Hashem is going to rest in there. It's going to happen very very soon. And they were finished up and he says like this Messiah should come take us out of gullis out of exile bring us standing upright to Israel. We're gonna and he should build the base of Mikdash in its right place. He's going to gather the Jewish people and Hashem is going to be the ultimate king. And with this introduction, we're going to have what it says that Hashem is going to transform the whole world to speak in unity. And we're going to serve one God. And it's going to come down in a revealed way by bringing the 70 bills and the holiday. The number finishes off so powerfully and beautifully. Kain ton. This is how it should be for us. And most importantly, the kur mishap very, very, very soon, very, very quickly. Here we have another powerful, beautiful discourse that will hopefully, God willing, give us a tremendous um spiritual energy to celebrate the holiday of of Sukkot. And like the says, the ultimate goal is to have the oneness that's going to be in the future. We should start experiencing it right now, to be able to get along with everyone, have real happiness, real oneness, and that will bring us to the greatest, the most powerful sim. I want to wish everyone have a great week and we should all experience the greatest like there ever finishes off of the coming of Msiah. Next class will be have a great and blessed week.
