Live streaming of TLPS !

YouTube Facebook and twitch really yeah this is basically yeah Hashem takes care of USM has very interesting I'm saying how let see Politically Incorrect right now let's go to say something well well you can have a conversation on Twitch as well yeah what do you mean so my friend was like look you're you're you're basically learning all day just live stream it you never know yeah people people watch whatever I'll tell you why not sometimes what happens is like I'm learning this with a friends and like I want tobring about something that's more private but then it's live streamed so I'll like hold back but you can pause you can't pause a live stream either live it's either live streaming or you stop live streaming right you're allow to stop right yeah of course you're a allow to stop how do you have storage Len on your phone like I'm saying after it's done it's not I just got this phone into your gallery like video if I save it gives you the option to save but I don't really even need to save it because it uploads to YouTube and then if I ever want that in order to make short form content I could redownload so it's on your channel yeah that's so cool that is really cool yeah it's very neat that is really cool and it it saves the work of like making the video and uploading it and the point is if I'm I could probably collect tidbits of me doing this from throughout the week and yeah and turn it into shorts turn it into a late par show Lake par show is a little bit different style on T oh thank you yeah yeah that's basically the idea that is really cool um so you're welcome to join I'll do today's it's short your questions your questions by the way whatever you'll ask or even if we think up a question people are interested in that people are interested in like how do we like no no do it now do it now minut come on let me get CH you're you're in the best live stream clo I should get I should get dressed like you oh I need I didn't get dressed whole week okay yeah that's fun so get dressed so I'll I'll review Thursday before I start to Friday okay so now we're doing rashies from Thursday so it says that elazar gave ter rifa silver and gold items and clothes and sweet Delicacies mdon are sweet Delicacies these are same meaning as fine fruits he brought those from Israel we know of course the land of Israel is very blessed agriculturally speaking and that is uh so he brought some of those fruits BYO and he stayed the night that means one night that's cool that's a fun fact every time that it speaks about lenina which is sleeping over somewhere in the Terra it means one night that's fun actually pg3 rash that her brother and mother replied that the girl should stay with us and they started saying like Okay we agreed to the match but let her stay for a little bit to get ready to get married and it doesn't say that Su said anything it doesn't say that her own father had any say in the matter even even though before he did right so what happened to him he basically wanted to oppose the match now so came and killed him and I think the me explains that um that that he simply swapped like I think he was trying to poison elezar I don't think that I'm making this up but because I didn't look this up before I started saying it um go ahead and fact check me and ask people who might know or go look this up yourself but I think the idea is that b hello Ron the tried to poison Eleazar and this angel came and simply swapped the the food and he ended up uh poisoning himself Yim so yamim literally means days and here it means a year as we find in another verse for a full year will its Redemption be possible months and if you say and since y before meant so hello I'm assuming your name is Jeff CU your your name on YouTube is my name Jeff I'm reading Rashi which is the 11th century commentator the foremost commentator on the Torah I'm reading from the Torah portion of this week's the one that we're studying this week and uh specifically the verses that were studied yesterday on Thursday um that's what I'm doing I'm going through his commentary so sir maybe you would think that it means 10 years but no it means 10 months why how do I know because it's an interesting psychological fact that it's not usual for people to request something small and if you disagree going to ask you for something bigger right usually if I'll ask for something and you don't want to give me that thing I'll I might still ask what I'll ask for Less you know so it doesn't make sense that they're asking that she should stay for a year and then if he's if they if he wouldn't agree they would say okay 10 years you know um yeah another one ask her opinion right that he was going to take Rifka as a wife and they agreed that Rifka their daughter and sister should be a wife for but they said why don't we also ask her opinion you know so that's a good idea and from here we learn that you don't a woman isn't given over for marriage unless she consents right otherwise without this being stated in the tra it's not necessarily so obvious especially back then you would think you know perhaps they didn't even have that basic respect but you see that they do and that that's the way it should be a woman needs to agree to who she marries so they asked her and she said I will go of my own accord and even if you don't want me to go and marry him I'm going to go and marry him that's what she responded to that so then they gave her a blessing when they sent her on her way and they said in other words that you should be the conduit for this blessing of your family increasing greatly specifically from you it should be through you that this blessing is fulfilled and when they traveled back to for back to Y yuk was Jeff that's amazing okay so you're totally welcome here and uh please uh you know I'm I'm trying to do this more often I'm just going to get on and live stream and and learn and teach to the rest of my ability I don't always respond to the comments and questions but that'll be That'll be amazing you know know subscribe and and get notified whenever I'm I'm hopping on and studying and I can definitely also if you'll put in the comment then God willing I'll get to it I can give you some other resources that you can look up and other amazing videos online and different places to go amazing Jeff that's that's incredible so they gave her a blessing and said oh I just read that one that it should be specifically through you that God's blessings to Abraham should be fulfilled right because this is Rifka Rebecca who's going to marry Isaac Abraham's son and of course back then it was pretty normal to have more than one wife so they were saying that even if Isaac should take more than one wife it should be through you that all the blessings are fulfilled so now on their way back they're coming back to meet Isaac and Isaac was coming out from the direction of why so Rashi explains because he went to go get haar in order that Hagar In order so hug yeah there's actually we joined by some cool people over here I'm going I'm oh you're going out in the snow yeah this say hi is anybody watching there is really so do you think that he should uh go go riding a bike in the snow like this I I don't know if it's a great idea but he's going to go do that okay um enjoy stay safe so all right he was living in the southern land near to that well as it says in another verse abam then traveled away from there towards the southern land and he settled there between Kadesh and Shore and there the well was situated as it says it's there between K so rash's giving us um some some context as to the geography over there okay what was he doing what was Isaac doing in the field he went out to the field what does mean means in the field what was he doing so Rashi explains it's prayer or is actually if I translate it as prayer it's not the most accurate translation really it means binding but uh let's not get distracted but just in short Jewish prayer isn't simply asking God for things but it's a time to uh connect on a deeper level with God you're binding yourself to to your essence which is of course God so Jeff you're welcome to ask any questions or just listen and then maybe something will something will pop up it doesn't always have to be a question specifically about the content that's that we're learning it can be because really Torah is from the word h which means a lesson and the Torah is not a history book but it's eternally relevant and it's all it's it's perpetually relevant in every aspect of our life so whenever you're studying something in the Torah the question doesn't have to be okay so what was Isaac doing what was Rebecca doing it's like so what does it mean for me that's always the question and the more that we could ask a specific type of question what does it mean for me in this kind of situation etc etc we could really figure out what is it that God's lesson to us is from learning about this of course learning about our our ancestors is immensely um interesting and we know that the way that they lived can teach us so much because these were very very very holy people um okay so he was he went out to the field to pray so now Rebecca is riding on this camel and she sees this man she sees Isaac who would be her husband she saw his Majestic appearance and gazed at him in in wonder and she fell she didn't fall off the camel but she but she slid from the camel like I guess perhaps preparing to come off or perhaps like in the shock of seeing Isaac um she like she her her posture on the camel change okay so you see I don't know exactly how to explain it but comes Rashi and Rashi will explain it to us what does that mean that she fell she let herself move down towards the ground as it's translated in Aramaic to that she leaned towards the ground but didn't reach the ground fully so it seems like she's prepared to start getting out you know like I remember as a kid coming home from school or or a trip you know in the car and like I just can't wait to get into the house so like even as my father or mother is pulling into the driveway I'm already like opening the car trying to get out you know sometimes it's dangerous and my parents were like what are you doing you know wait till the car stops but here she's she's on the camel she sees Isaac and she starts like coming down so and then Rashi brings a few different like terms that teach us what like that are similar to this idea of the Aramaic translation like yeah um and it means inclin toward the Earth and in a similar vein he says another P that if he falls he will not be thrown down which means that if he will be inclined towards the Earth he will not touch the ground okay so what did she do then she asked the servant who is this man and elzar said that's my master Isaac so it was clear to her that that's going to be her husband so what did she do she covered herself she put on a veil she concealed her face out of modesty um and the servant then goes and tells Isaac about all the things that he had done and the whole story of how he met Rebeca um which is a very important story in fact so important that the Torah which is we can learn so much just from a little symbol on top of a letter Hashem tells us this story twice in the Torah says that the first time as it happens tozar and then as rifka's family asked elazar like who he is and where he's coming from or as he was explaining it to them he says it all over again the Torah doesn't just say and he told them everything that happened like it says here that elzar told Isaac all that had happened no it actually says elzar said and then says the whole story again because it's a very important story but I guess we don't need to say it a third time so the servant told Isaac everything that that had happened and all the things that he had done and how Hashem worked it out for him to meet R so he revealed to him the Miracles that happened to him that the Earth had shrunk for him because his journey was was shortened um some people uh like to like interpret this as like a it's like a black hole sort of uh scenario but the point is in a miracul way Hashem crunched up the Earth and made him travel a lot quicker and that Rifka came his way in response to his prayer because he prayed to make his mission successful and that he should meet the right woman Etc now y then brought her into the tent and she was like s his mother he married Rifka she became his wife and he loved her and th was comforted after the death of his mother it's interesting order right it's not like uh a lot of the world today feels that there's the order should be we fall in love and then we get married um and here it actually says that he brought Rifka into the tent married her she became his wife and he loved her of course this is before the Torah was given so the procedure doesn't need to be the same way um but it is it's an interesting thing I'll just put it out there you can think about it so he brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother Rashi explains that this actually is very very interesting it means that he brought her into the tent and she became exactly like his mother not in a bad way where it's like oh you're just like my mother you know but in a in in the best of ways of course because sah our mother was an extraordinarily holy woman and prophetess in other words for as long as Sarah was alive a light was burning in her tent from one shabas Eve soon is going to be chabas right right now is Friday soon is going to be Shabbat Shabbat starts in the evening Friday Eve so from one Shabbat Eve when she lit the candle for Shabbat if there are any Jewish women here should every single Friday night and you can look up what time it should be done in your time zone it's important before Shabbat enters to light candles so s would do this of course and then that those candles would miraculously burn throughout the whole week and that Miracle started again once he brought Rebecca into the tent because that Miracle had ended when his mother Sarah had passed and there was another two Miracles that also now were reignited pun intended uh um that there was always a blessing in the dough that uh the dough the the bread that Sarah would make was stayed fresh all throughout the week and then when Rifka came into the tent that Miracle started up again and a cloud symbolizing the divine presence God's presence continuously was hovering over the tent and all those things and that also stopped when Sarah had passed but returned when Rifka came into the tent and through marrying her he was comforted after the death of his mother and it's natural that as long as a person's mother is alive he is attached to her says Rashi and once she dies he can find comfort in his wife okay then that is the end of yesterday's portion of rashi's um let's go and Doan which is some teaching or should we continue withes let me see okay let's continue today's so's father our first of the forefathers Abraham whose wife Sarah had passed y's mother like we were just saying had passed at the very beginning of this Torah portion the T person is actually called s which means the life of sah because it's about her Legacy but she passes on and it's recorded that she passed right at the beginning of the Torah but now AB married another woman whose name was Cura who's actually Hagar who was his maid servant who was Sarah's maid servant earlier on and who was his was Abraham's concubine earlier on and through haar he fathered Ismael isma and now her name was changed to curo we'll find out in a moment why and he married her like a full wife not as a concubine but he took her with with all the with all the necessary procedure of marriage it's a much more binding agreement says Rashi this is haar she was called why because her Deeds were as pleasant as the as the incense as the sweet smell of the of the incense and also is is Aramaic for for tying means to tie like the Hebrew word K and she tied herself in other words she she didn't allow herself to bind to bond sexually with anyone else only why because she was once with Abraham and she said once I was with this holy man he's the only one that I'll that I'll be with again and so she was never with anyone in the interim and now they got remarried well before they weren't married before he only had her as a concubine now he married her she bore to him Sons right by the names of Zak and now we learn about some of their lineage and's children became that's what their nations were called Sons were Aida and El all these were the children ofur okay so we learned that dun's children became aim and these are the names of the heads of the Nations andos who translates the Torah into Aramaic the has has a a translation of the words that Rashi says I'm unable to reconcile his translation with the words of the verse because he explains as meaning traveling camps and if you ask that this can't be because the AL the letter Al of the word Asim which is not part of the root of the word mashan I reply that we do find Words which don't have an Al at the beginning as part of their root yet in Al is added as a prefix as in the broken wall he gives an example which is the of the same root as and as in smearing of oil which is the same root as anointing yourself so we see that we do find words that don't have an Al at the beginning but an Al is added as a prefix and according to and tent dwellers who are who spread out in all directions and travel each living in his own tent so there's like the the groups the traveling camps and then there's the Dwellers who spread out and each live in their own tent and similarly it says that they are spread out over the land because L and these Hebrew letters are often interchangeable so Rashi explains how it could be compatible but basically he's asking that he's saying I don't understand how how unc's translation works because according to UNC the verse should have prefixed Aid to each of these three words but it doesn't say that so Rashi is explaining that this these are the names of the heads of the Nations not descriptions for how they lived this is very very very interesting gave everything that he had to to Isaac his son but he also had other Sons now right sons of ab's concubine remember hugar was his concubine now he remarried her as K the verse here calls her the concubine and to the sons of Abram's concubine Abraham gave gifts so he gave everything to Isaac but he gave them he gave these Sons gifts very special gifts and I believe that I mean I don't have a reason not to believe that these gifts are the the the the philosophies of of Eastern religion for the most part obviously not the ones that are idolatry um that serve sort like false deities but the wisdom of the East that is uh you know let's say like the the secrets of meditation and things like that I Believe come from Abraham teaching these children and then sending them off so he gave them gifts and still in his lifetime he sent them away from his son Isaac Eastward to the Eastern land said he gave them what does it mean gifts he gave them [Music] blessings oh I'm sorry this this comment of Rashi of what AB gave is not about the gift it's about AB giving everything to Y so what does it mean that he gave him blessings as a legacy to in other words he gave him the blessings that he got from Ab which included in that is the power to bless others so this that through the through you the other nations will be blessed he gave that specifically to his son Isaac to the sons of the concubines he gave them gifts he hug if you're wondering what's the difference between a concubine and a wife it's explained right here this word is written out with a Y before the men because there was only one concubine she was meaning it's not it literally would be translated as concubines but it's aam's concubine it's the kids from the one concubine who was ha who wasur who in other words hugar was her name when she was ab's concubine and Cur was her name when she became ab's wife now what's the difference between wives and concubines wives are those married with a kba a marriage contract and concubines are those married without exba as it says in the talud concerning the wives and concubines of King David it explains what is the difference there's a lot more commitment and a lot more responsibility to a wife than to a so what so here Rashi what's rash's comment on the gifts I threw in my own comment but rash is is uh uh where as I could be incorrect gave gifts our rabbis explained that this means that he transmitt the power to practice sorcery and the magic Arts so a lot of that a lot of that like occult uh stuff um but I don't know is the word occult like like negative necessarily because then maybe that's not what it is in other words he gave them the power to use the forces of impurity which are not impurity isn't evil it's just not pure it's a big difference but he but through the forces of impurity he taught them all sorts of tricks and things that how to how to manipulate nature basically um and another explanation is that that which had been given to him for sah right when he was in Egypt and when he was by the ptim they gave him gifts because of his wife Sarah and well when they thought that Sarah was only his sister they gave him gifts and he did not want to keep them because he knew that God was making him wealthy and he only wanted the wealth that was coming directly from God he didn't want to benefit from those gifts maybe also because they came from places of immorality okay these are the days of's life that he lived 100 years 70 years and 5 years why does it count it like that why not just say 175 years why 100 years 70 years and 5 years great question rash is going to explain Ben when he was 100 he was like he was 70 in terms of his strength that he had and when he was 7 he was like a 5-year-old having never sinned was like a 5-year-old is just innocent innocent child so too when Abraham was 70 years old he also was completely free of [Music] sin now we just read about the first of our forefathers passing on abam passed away passed on after a fine old age old and satisfied and he was gathered unto his people the beginning of this week's Torah portion Abraham purchases the cave of M and now his sons buried him in the cave in the field of ephra the son of that was facing mam it's interesting that the Terra is calling it The Cave the M cave in the field of ephra because now I need to now I'm just thinking I should go and look back it seems CU from that conversation when he purchased the cave from ephrine ephrine offered him the entire field not just the cave but be being that we're calling it the field of ephrine perhaps AB didn't purchase the entire field and he only purchased the cave of course Hashem gave him the whole land but he wanted specifically to make a purchase of this land and I wonder now I should look back at that and see what what other commentaries say unless we're just calling it the field of e this because that's how it was known um right both Isaac and is buried their father Abraham from here we learn that is repented so before we were learning that is was up to no good he was robbing people he was a he was doing a lot of bad stuff so from here that and together buried AB we see that is repented and gave y precedence in other words he also had amazing respect for his younger brother Isaac and allowed him to lead the proceeding of the barrial and this is what is meant by a fine old age mentioned in connection with that passed in in a in in in a manner of Serenity where he was able to see his children living by his ideals because even though isal went off the path isal repented when abam passed oh I skipped the ver [Music] okay look at that could have just continued instead of being so curious why we're calling it the field of Ephraim because the next verse says this was the field that Abraham had bought from the children of there AB was buried with sah his wife so I guess AB bought the entire field [Music] um it's probably also just clear on the P I'll just check right now just a little bit rushing you know shabas comes in very soon yeah see it's very clear I just had forgotten of course that the that the field became the field actually Rose in status because it became Aames [Music] yeah after abam died God blessed his son and lived near after Abraham died says Rashi and and God blessed he comforted him with the blessing of consolation given to mourners [Music] another explanation of the nature of this blessing although the Holy One the source of blessing Gave Over blessings to AB so of course and ab gave that to Isaac and of course AB could have blessed Isaac himself AB was afraid to do that because he saw that Isaac one of Isaac's children would be is is and he therefore said let the master of blessings come and bless whomever he SE SE fit so Hashem said okay and Hashem went ahead and blessed you came back right in time right when I finished sh I just finished today's today's portion okay you could join anyways come you can speak to Jeff okay we're going to continue learning let me just see if I can set this up better I'm going to send you a link and you'll make an account and anybody else watching over here if you make a Twitch account and join from twitch that uh I can benefit from that [Music] shabbat shalom Aron shabbat shalom [Music] we're going to keep learning in moment [Music] oh I see that this is still marked as Torah or with PES which is that's what I was learning this morning but that's not what this is anymore although we're always mixing in some teachings into anything we learn so I don't even know if I know how to change that now that title maybe we'll just leave it h yeah yeah I do know how to change it [Music] oo mashiah mode means increasing in the love that we have for one another it means increasing in joy in our life and by the way and that works both ways when you increase your capacity to love it automatically makes life more joyful and when you increase in joy in your life you when you see things with joy because you're joyful it's easier for you to [Music] love when is it coming when is coming oh maybe you guys will meet Yakov mosha Yakov mosha is coming [Music] increasing in love [Music] oh okay yeah yeah all right now onwards to today's Tanya which is in middle of a we're in middle of studying something so I wonder if if I'll be able to do a good job at catching us up um it's also quite cabalistic but let's go from [Music] let's do from yesterday okay and today's lesson will is likened to a pillar will in other words do like your what you desire what you want it's likened to a pillar which connects ceiling ceiling with floor thus connecting highest to lowest similarly the Divine will is inherent in mitz the Divine will inherent in mitz serves as a conduit to channel the highest God's pleasure with man's deed the lowest the now goes on to explain that in addition to this function of Mitzvah is garments for the soul they also serve to unite the sublime spiritual level of kesser with the physical objects with which the Commandments are performed as such they resemble pillars that connect the highest part a house with the lowest now the superal will is termed and referred to by the cabalists as ker which means the Supreme Crown in it there are 620 pillars of light 620 being the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew word kesser that is by way of analogy just as in a large Brick House there are pillars standing in the ground and their Apex is connected with the ceiling thereby connecting the lowest part of the house with the highest precisely so metaphorically speaking the superal ker the superal crown transcends the level ofma wisdom which is the first and highest of the inner spheres I'll read in English the word K is related to capital for it surrounds and encompasses over the brains in the head the crown that's how you wear it in other words the faculties of and is an acronym for this superal will is vested in the 613 Commandments of the T and the Seven precepts of the sages right we said that there are 620 pillars of light there are 613 mitz of the and seven mitzvas which are commanded To Us by the sages in other words the sages revealed to us that these are seven mitz as well that's the 620 practically all of which are operative Commandments in other words their performance involves physical action which represents the lower or corporeal aspect of the lowest of the spirit for spiritual worlds AIA is the world of action and we do a Mitzvah in AIA and specifically in the world of action with action we get involved the even those Commandments such as verbalized Torah study which you might say oh that's just just saying stuff that's not active really that depend upon speech even those Commandments nevertheless speech is more spiritual than action but they too belong to the category of practical action because we have a accept cedic principle that the movement of one's lips in speech is regarded as an act and even though Commandments relating to thought or to the heart such as the Commandments regarding the love and awe of God are also considered as physical acts the Commandments were given only to physical man in this physical world because he has the choice to turn his heart to good and so on the soul without a body however doesn't need to be commanded by this in other words you are already perfect and you are within a body so that you can have the body fused together with who you really are and express who you really are so that the body the body is the interface for the soul and through your body through your your physical life and physical actions you can express the soul and that's exactly what doing a Mitzvah is even with speech and even with your your heart which love loves God and a fellow person of course so because he has the choice to turn his heart to good and so on thus it follows that the Commandments metaphorically speaking are like pillars that stand and connect from the highest of levels to the sual will in other words from the sual will that's the highest of levels to this material world because it's hashem's will that's what the Mitzvah are metaphorically speaking there are like Hollow pillars that Encompass and Garb with the Garment of man's or r or when he fulfills the Commandments by way of these pillars of the MIT his Ascend to the highest of levels to be bound up in the bond of life with God that is to be bound up and vested in the light of keser which is the sual will the highest level of all worlds I told you that this is pretty cabalistic it's pretty Advanced um and that's okay because we're still studying we're still listening to the holy words we're still saying the holy words if you're saying them together with me but even just hearing these words is tremendous and by means of this garment they are able to behold the pleasantness of God and the pleasurable thirst which transcend the level of kesser and metaphorically speaking are its pus in other words the pleasantness of God and the pleasurable thirst are the inner core of the light of kesser which transcends all worlds I think it's fair to say that and I'm I'm not I would run the risk of oversimplifying but I don't want to oversimplify um but I think it's fair to say that by doing a Mitzvah you are expressing what you are you're you're becoming in tune with who you are I might be oversimplifying but that's why I so really we got we got to learn it we just got to learn it we got to get through it and go through it again and again and again and again and again though it's explained elsewhere that the Commandments are the innermost element of the sual will and here we saying that this is the external aspect of the crown in other words the external aspect of the sual will those Adept in the hidden wisdom in other words cabala people who really know what they're talking about I don't think that means me are well acquainted with the multitude of aspects and levels within every aspect and level among the various levels of Holiness God is infinite so you're infinite and there are and that really should explain to you why there's so much going on within yourself right there's just within one person just within you there's a lot going on there's a lot of emotion there's a lot of thoughts and that's because you're made in the image of Hashem so people who are Adept in the hidden wisdom know of the levels as they as they are above that's why they could also help you as you are below there are numerous aspects of face to face meaning since punim is related to pus that relative to a particular spiritual level another level is even more internal or nearer to the essence right we could say we talk about external internal the internal the the internal of the internal the external of the external the external of the inter internal etc etc right you can keep going and going and going and there are numerous aspects of externality externality meaning the reverse without ENT thus relative to the internal level of the superal will spoken about here Mitzvah are only termed external whereas in another context when compared to a lower level they are deemed the internal aspect of the sual will so what we're what is talking about in this Tanya over here is that relative to the inner level of pus because that's the way to do the r in other words the Rin translates into the Mitzvah but in another context when compared to a lower level they would be deemed the internal aspect of the superal will they would be deemed P so there's many levels above called The Commandments the 620 pillars of ker pillars of light of ker how does this agree with his previous statement that the 613 garments of the mitz correspond to the 613 Soul Powers there's not 620 Soul Powers the seven rabinal precepts are not counted as Commandments in themselves of course you can't add to the and the sages are not saying oh there's another seven and we're adding them no that's not what's happening rather they derive an issue from the Commandments of the tah that are included in and and are included in them in the sum of 613 Commandments which guard the 613 aspects and powers in the of man so the mitv correspond the 613 mitzvas are garments for the soul corresponding to the 613 powers of the soul but we know that there's actually right he speaks about the 620 pillars of light of kesser so there's another seven those seven are the seven rabinal precepts but of course the rabbis are not adding to the terot one may not add to the trra but the rabbis are saying that these seven mitz and they show to us how these seven mitz are included within the 63 they are a part of the 613 mice [Music] okay okay in today's lesson even one's intention in doing MIT while not tangible right cuz it's intention it's in your head it's in your it's in your heart it's it's what you mean when you do the Mitzvah it's not tangible still just that the kav can draw down superal light because that also the kav of the Mitzvah ism's will Hashem wants your intention as part of it hence it too shares the power of Will and that which it elicits above and in a sense it has an advantage let's see this is the meaning of the statement in the sacred Z that the good deeds in other words the MIT which man does elicit a garment from the light of the sual Splendor in other words the level of ker and they behold the pleasantness of hasem and also right the Z continues to talk about the pleasurable thirst pus though there the Zohar speaks of the Lower Garden of aen the lower level of ganen where the garments derive from the truly practical commandments so that they result not from the superal will as above but from the Merit of the physical action right MIT you got to get involved physically you use your body as the interface while in the upper Garden ofen the garments derived from the love and devotion of the heart with respect to T and prayer as stated in the the Zar states that once the soul possesses while in the lower of garden the garments of the MIT that derive from physical actions it then Rises to the upper Garden of however this devotion from when these garments derive refers to the devotion of one's occupation with for its own sake out of one's love for God the Commandment to study also belongs to the class of practical Commandments just by moving moving my lips when you move your lips and saying the words of trra it's like what do you mean I'm not doing an action I'm not lighting shabas candles like Jewish women around the world will do very soon or have already done depending on where your time zone or I'm not I'm not using my body I'm just saying the words of Terra but what do you mean the Thomas is of course that is using your body you're you're moving your mouth and that's regarded as an act and meditation though when I'm just thinking about something it might be very lofty might be wrapped in my Talis and fill and I'm thinking about that but that's not an action the Talis putting on a Talis is an action putting on the t is an action the intention might be very lofty but it's not an action so one does not discharge his duty by meditation alone right some people I've I've had this many people have this experience I've had this experience myself I'll go meet a Jew who didn't yet put on Fillin and I'll say hey you want to put on Fillin and they say no no I'm Jewish in my heart I have it in my heart I put on Fillin in my heart like that's that's amazing but also put on Fillin on your arm and on your head because you got to use your body you got to get involved the same applies to prayer one must fully articulate the words since both tan and study and prayer require action even the garments that are created by devout T in prayer are considered to be derived from the tangible and active aspect of the mitz so they are also garments from the of and certainly so considering that the superiority of devotion kavana over speech and action in as much as devotion creates garments for the soul in the upper Garden of Eden because it's a lot more lofty it's a lot more spiritual it's not due to its own merits Like Loving like the loving service of God because the radiation from the sual will when a Mitzvah is performed the radiation of sual will is more manest in its more spiritual aspect in its devout and loving intention rather than in its tangible and physical aspect right so that guy who says I'm Jewish in my heart but I don't want to put Onin he actually has something like extremely valuable and very deep that maybe someone who's putting on fill in without intention is lacking but the main thing is the action the main thing is to do it here in this world to do the mitz explained at length in part one chapter 38 see over there explains over there that the illumination from the sual will that shines within the devotion that accompanies an action is like the soul right every Mitzvah has its body of the Mitzvah that's how you do the Mitzvah that's the physical action that's the candles that Jewish women are going to light very soon at least where I am and the soul of the is what the Mitzvah means and what you think about when you're doing the Mitzvah what it means objectively what it means to you what your intention is and of course the re asks us to always hold the intention to bring mashia with every single Mitzvah that we're doing that should be the general intention that through this Mitzvah this should be the final thing that needs to get done from mashia now to bring that ultimate Revelation so he explains over there in par the action is the body and the soul is the devotion of the Mitzvah the difference is thus only in the degree of contraction or emanation of this radiation because when it comes to I could feel very very very spiritual by meditating but not be very spiritual by meditating I need to go ahead and channel that meditation into something in my life I need to elevate my actual physical life I need to Simply leave the meditation a better person and and prove it and be a better person let's put it that way right or I need to go and do the Mitzvah or I could go and do the Mitzvah but not even like appreciate it so much and then I'm missing something very important so over there of course he's teaching how the devotion is the soul of the Mitzvah but the body of the Mitzvah must be you must have the body of the Mitzvah and it's however in the soul of the Mitzvah specifically it's in that devotion it's in that meditation that I that you can feel it that you can app appreciate the Holiness of what it is that you're doing from the above it's clear that even the garments for the soul that are created from the devotion and feeling that accompan Tyra and prayer also results from the radiation of the sual will which is ker which is the sual CER so I'll read to you what what theu writes as a takeaway from this portion of Tanya the takeaway the act of a commandment creates garments for your soul to experience the reward in gun then but so does concentration and devotion not only the ACT but the intention so have a moment of meditation about God before your next Mitzvah I don't personally love that takeaway so much but I guess it does do its job of of giving you like an an easy by sized true piece ofis to take away which is yeah it's doing its job um all right I'm going to keep learning so I guess I'll keep the the the live stream rolling um oh maybe I could call I'm going to go get my wife's phone if she's not using it and call and we'll learn how y y with t and all together so let's do that [Music] from I am live streaming I um oh that's cool thanks can I call T from your phone are you in middle of a class so

on Facebook on YouTube he didn't connect I know what happen I Haven even put on my I put on my oh you hung up on him no he was reconnecting oh what's up winter boy I'm so confused how do I do this oh is that from his phone yeah you're on the stream got it we got I I got some actually I interacted with some of the some of the people who joined today it was very nice got a guy named Jeff who he said he's going to be joining more often he wants to learn more Torah he grew up learning it what yeah wait I don't know who I don't know what that is Jeff are you still here is Jeff can you put on a comment if you're still on here this ISU and this is PES these are very holy Jews over here P's on hold P's driving p and I learned for a good long time this morning braids I'm trying to what's wait what's the difference teach me what's the difference between dreadlock and and and braids um dreads are locked braids are braided I don't know what that what the difference is it's like different it's different from the roof like this is like braided like what you know is braid in and locks are twisted locked up gotta this is so like awkward to hold like this but I can still see you Lite TV basically e t like Elite but Elite and then SV or Elites cuz the people who are joining are Elites and then V with two e did you see the did pesak send you a picture from this morning of us daving yeah you did yeah we saw this no I didn't see that it says you're offline says I'm offline what do you mean I'm not offline how do you know Jeffrey Porter no I I don't know Jeffrey Porter that's not what I'm talking that would have been crazy I don't know I mean I guess now I need to now I should go reach out oh here it is oh I'm showing you guys behind me what am I doing here no so funny CU like all these places in like up New York all sh oh you gotta lower it you gotta lower it I muted it I muted it yeah it's always delayed everything that's live streamed is always like 2 seconds delay or something yeah what PES what were you saying so all the stuff out here is named like Native American names but there are no Native Americans around crab apple get to the place and there's locals where like what's this place called and they're like it's calledo and we're like thanks this is rapo r r yeah but nobody who speaks like that is around anymore high school but there still are most yeah not up New York there's Parts really I feel like Native Americans is such a like Mid America thing Middle America more but there's there's Parts in new also bro New York like Upstate New York think about like where Buffalo is and all that that connect over there to where Middle America minus the Lakes oh interesting froma probably needs her phone back I told her I'll give it back to her quickly so can we do a yum yum I figured we'll do that on the stream yes and then I'm going to return her phone y y are you are you're driving T you want to pull it up and read it to us I actually have it pulled up oh okay so you go for it you say it okay was that all you went on hold I know I see the translation of that is that the the service of daving is what brings um is what brings like the feeling in the in the brain like it brings what you learn intellectually and uh from it brings what you learn intellectually from the brain into the into an emotional experience prayer is what makes study emotional cuz study by itself is like intellectual it's not always emotional it could be but it's not always but prayer makes it emotional yeah Monty doesn't have the the best service by the way in a lot of spots I remember I was out here once like trying to get a uber and a lift and I kept losing service and I was out in the just waiting um let's see oh that's safe for on MIT what am I looking [Music] at oh that was almost it serving God through prayer brings one's intellectual comprehension into the emotions of the heart and both heart and mind unite in the actual observance of mitz with a fear of heaven and with the acquisition of positive character traits so through prayer you bring intellectual comprehension into emotions and then both your heart and your mind unite when you actually bring that into action and you and you do the mitz with fear of heaven and with acquiring positive character traits in other words like the act of doing Mitzvah and and simply like being a better person having better traits is uh what brings the heart and mind in unison okay maybe we'll get back on with PES um it's weird I need to figure out a way to like there's for sure a way to be on video like I am now and then swap from the video to sharing screen and then back but so far I only see like when you're starting a stream you either need to start sharing screen or you need to start with video what I know you can I obviously don't know how yeah yeah I need to find out how and I saw you sent me something else today I need to look at that a new platform launched and they're offering bring a large incentive for creators to start on there what platform I think it's called party p a r t i they're offering like $1,000 for creators like a live streaming platform I could use ,000 for some good stuff yeah I could get Gear with 1,000 bucks should look into it said look at the video I sent you and research it oh is that that's what that video is about okay got you MH just learned about it it just launched like this month apparently neat okay thank you shabbat shalom good bro pleas good J is you put on T already no I need to so soon yeah I'm about to you want to do it now on the on the stream I'll just leave it here my fromma will forgive me for not returning her phone right away I mean you could give her her phone but all good yeah but it it would be great if you put on the fill in okay you you'll you'll you'll do it it'll be cool for people to see but we'll have plenty of time to do that um I can if you want yeah let me just confirm my back is killing these days you know that um are you watching it from there nope cuz you could it Con connects to Wi-Fi return from his [Music] phone okay where are you put the filling on with t well I already put the filling on but we're going to be with t while T puts Tan on just going to give him a call oh [Music] do some rashies go through the partial a little bit more [Music] yum [Music] Al for [Music] [Laughter] [Music] so this

back on with the live stream with see in Fillin so he so he called and he said he said let's sing a song together and I wasn't sure which song and he start singing which means behold the guardian of Israel doesn't sleep or [Music] Slumber you now [Music] I'm on a live stream but come join that's amazing bro yeah wow it's really amazing this is oh what's going on put on yob moa's did you you ever meet in Crown Heights ever met I don't know I don't remember at least and so he got me into live streaming so I'm just starting up with it you know like right now there's approximately two people watching amazing you know but that's amazing like wow last stream was about this it's it's just I mean just vibing learning you know so he's putting on filling oh nice so so um this is yakob mosha and we've like met a bunch of times but only briefly like we never actually like sat down to FBR properly and now here we are in in one home together for shabas it'll be amazing here we are wow wow what's up bar all right see you guys later yeah you know where you're going you know where room is what happened what am I doing I'm here come come on the video what are you doing I'm making a video for people it's called a live stream cuz it's live in other words right now they could see you I am in m at my aunt and uncle's house you in [Music] yeah it on the road that's everyone took it on the road you mean you took it on the road oh yeah [Music] okay so I think what we're going to do now is cuz I I'm playing catchup with Kish I still need to like review the rashis from Wednesday which is interesting stuff okay so I'm going to do that here with you and everybody else and I'll hold the phone like [Music] this is there other than of course like that it's available for people to see is there value in making a long video just because it's like usually the formats are long oh you're okay don't don't respond I'm I'm going to I'm going to get to it and then speak when you want okay [Music] so elzar met Rifka and he says that the Eternal God of my master abah has shown himself to be the source of blessing he didn't withhold his complete kindness from my master even me has servant the Eternal guided me on the right path to the house of my Master's [Music] relatives on the path what does it mean by oh you know what I just realized I took a earlier this week on shabas I said with someone and I said that they and they said that I should put out a video this week and I was like okay that's it I'm making a I'm going to put out a late par show video um so unless I could call this the late par show video of this week I really got to get to work cuz it's already 3:16 you just do it on here and CLI it put it yeah what was your question before my question was is there is there value to me like just sitting on the stream for like an hour or now we're almost hitting an hour and a half um you know or is it more valuable for me to like go and message people and send them the link and even make shorter content like is just the fact that I'm live for a long time good or that's like have to be live for a certain amount of hours like some you have to be like somewhat regularly live and you have to have like a certain level of viewership like that's how the tear work uhhuh uhuh so I got to like read up on that and find out what that is start sending like I would start going live before you start and start sending the link out like before you even start you know what I'm saying when no one's in there right so the thing is it's interesting because on YouTube I have a number of subscribers and on Facebook as well and as soon as I go live unless I should just do twitch but as soon as I go live right now it goes everywhere and then people are right away logging in and then if like there's nothing happening you know and it's boring but maybe I should just focus on Twitch I know I can't tell you [Music] yeah okay so I mean trying to think like there's as always there's so much I'm just going to share with you oh you're doing sh I'll share with you after I I'll continue thinking [Music] oh oh [Music] oh oh oh no [Music] t [Music] I forgot about R because I'm using a one that's why that happened [Music] ohing [Music] oh it's literally in less than an hour it's cand of lighting [Music] thank you [Music] sure I'm not going to make a huge one but there'll be enough I think it'll be cold it's cold tomorrow the GU will apprciate you're on my phone myone [Music] okay how long do I have on it yep okay just go to the couch yo question mhm mhm shiffman had taught me is where you put your personal prayers but my stepdad was saying something on yum Kipper about that it's better to put it at the end of SE shalom it's funny that you mention that because I I I remember learning as a kid but I don't remember from where or from whom but I remember like hearing or learning that yeah at the end of sh after Sim Shalom is when you is when you put your personal prayers and I remember doing that as a kid and I I remember vividly one time in Camp like this is just like one illustration of it one time in Camp I had I had a tooth that was like loose or just like killing me like really really killing me and it was like a it was like a a kid I'm like just let it fall out you know but it was like it was like not ready to fall out like it was it wasn't loose enough you know but it was so it was like already loosening and it was very painful and literally I remember like taking my three steps forward at the end and it just came right out and I was like oh my like as a kid I was just like what like it blew me away um and then I remember later learning like shako which so the shako makes sense that that's when you would ins and like I can attest that it's like there's something about that one that I like even more what do you do I do both I kind of been doing both since I heard that too yeah like why not I mean I do both I usually like speaking like if I'm going to verbalize my personal prayer I'll I'll do that at the end after Sim sh and I'll I'll have the intention of my personal prayers by in Middle right but people say like you can you can also like you don't have to do that like you can actually verbalize it in Middle ofas it's not considered an interruption life bro you look like a king [Music] dude I have a crazy fit for tonight I'm about to meet cash uh she's number three on iTunes right now oh that's cool yeah fire yeah okay so because I told someone at the beginning last shabas we made a that I'll I'll put out para content this week so basically go find Rebecca Rifka the wife for Yak right and when he met her the tah says that he gave her a a nose ring the man took out a gold nose ring that weighed a Becca which is about half a shekel weight of gold um and gave it to her this nose rink and two gold bracelets and each of these things were an illusion to something very special what the the go the nose ring which was about um a half a shek's weight it was weighing half a shekele which is about 8 gram or 28 o was alluding to the half shekele that her Descendants the Jewish people were would give every single year right we have a Mitzvah of giving half a shekele to the b mikash or to the Mish right which that happened first to build the to build the Tabernacle the temporary B mikash so that's what that half shekele weighted nose ring was alluding to and he also gave her two gold bracelets which were an illusion to the two tablets that Moses would receive and give To Us by Hari so why these two things like okay it's two cool things but like it's two very specific things and the reason is because Rifka and y's marriage is the first marriage that's explicitly like mentioned in the Torah by the time we even meet Abraham already like actually it says that he h i need to look this up I does it say that AB got married it just says that abam and Sarah were married or that he took Sara as a wife for ab let me see I want to now I'm curious to find [Music] out at the end of pares [Music] yeah so it says that abah and his brother Nar took wives but it doesn't talk about their marriage it doesn't say like that s was a bride that a r was a groom right whereas when it comes to Isaac and Rebecca getting married Rebecca is basically the first bride spoken about in the Tyra and at this first like marriage which and Rifka are very is very significant and it basically represents the union of all Jewish people with Hashem um so at that first ever wedding that the t is recording basically elzar's gifts to Rifka are are a hint to the two pillars upon which every single Jewish Home and marriage must be founded this nose ring and and these two bracelets the nose ring again and the two bracelets representing the tablets which is Torah which is Torah study so it's every single Jewish Home needs to be firmly founded upon the pillars of Saka and Torah study and the 10 but specifically when we talk about Torah we're we're specifically alluding to the tablets why because the tablets were engraved and unlike letters written on part parment like a Torah scroll where ultimately it's two things there's the parchment and there's the letters and they could be separated it's two things that come together but they could be separated by engraving it becomes one entity something's engraved in stone and there's no way to erase the letters without destroying the stone as well and so these two the foundation of Torah study and Sedaka needs to be engraved into every single Jewish Home like it needs to be soap so uh it needs to so permeate the the people in the home and the home itself that it's that it can't be taken away it needs to be intrinsic just like a an engraving in stone you want to hear something really crazy about from the para it says that they agreed rifka's family agreed right elzar says I want to take your your daughter back to back to my Master's home so she could marry Y and they agreed to it and then they said but let's ask her opinion and of course she agreed also and she said even if you don't agree I do agree so I'm going to go she was yeah the measure says that she was three I think there are other opinions but yeah it's pretty wild yeah I just don't even understand that yeah it's hard to understand [Music] it's hard to get but I mean it talks about how mature she was and like she was very she was already like a you ever met a three-year-old ready to get married no not at all me either not at all they didn't really marry until she was I think 12 but even that's like anyhow so it says that b was the father of it's a nice yard B was the father of Rifka and at some point he decided to oppose the match so what happened is Hashem sent an angel who actually there was an angel already accompanying Alazar in his journey and the angel killed B before he could before he could say that he opposes the match and the explanation for that is very simple in that there was basically very little keeping B Alive because a person for their life needs to if a person's living it's because they have a certain purpose in the world and B was doing basically everything wrong right he was worshiping idols and he was not being a good man to say the least the only thing that just ified his existence was the fact that he was the daughter that he was the father of Rifka and rifo would marry yit but as soon as he wants to go against that also he was basically saying like I don't have any reason to live anymore because he's not going to fulfill even the smallest like part of what he needs to do in this world so at that point the angel took his life because he there was nothing justifying him continuing to exist it's interesting uh way to look at Justice anyhow bro shabas comes in in less than an hour what about by you um I don't know tell probably on the I have to be downtown sunset at 5:5 here um I have to be downtown by you can still light candles by the way you know that it's a mitz of light candles before shabas regardless of like if you're keeping it or not keeping it it's a mitv of light candles at the candle lighting time like that's I thought light candles well no also girl it it's a Mitzvah that we give to the women if they are if there are woman there to do it you know if there is a Jewish girl that can do it on behalf of the home cuz it's very related to to the woman and the reason for shabas candles is for peace in the home in other words peace between the man and his wife so we give the Mitzvah to the ladies but if there's no ladies the Mitzvah is still incumbent upon the the man of the house to light candles so you're saying that's why I've never had peace in my home because I've never lived I'm not saying that but that's not impossible that it's definitely possible that by lighting shabas candles it will increase in the peace in the house increase in the peace Go Lions Super Bowl Baby Go Lions wait I got to get you go Lions Super Bowl back to back to back to back the back the back the back the back the back so uh yeah you can you can definitely light candles please with the Lions nice nice back to back to back to back to back the back the back the back the back I got the L Mas too put it on no I don't want to my hair up before I meet C all right um yeah but so light candles bro before shabus don't do it on shabus cuz once shabas comes in it's already better not to light candles cuz that's like actually forbidden but do it before shabas and uh it's a big Mitzvah and there's a blessing that you say also I'll send you a link okay I don't know no you get two t lights or something it's it's not so hard I don't know I've never really done that oh my phone is telling me it's an hour and 46 minutes into the stream it says the device is too hot and like you got to do something about the overheating yeah what I need to do is get a proper camera and some more gear and not do this for my phone the only thing is it because I like I need internet wherever I'd be in order to live stream yes so that's that's like the that's the M of doing it on the phone all right Chavis love you all the best chabis to the stream Chavis chat Chavis play play big plays chat big plays only
