learned was that hashem says and the question was why does that have to say the word lefona it should say it doesn't say that it says is that um that you want to get to the fun like the pneumonias then you can reveal you re you reveal from the very essence of hashem which we call ponemius ponai the countenance that hashem should be the melo and this is a continuation that what we learned what we just discussed that you have to create the russian in hashem to want to be melissa let's continue ice vote yaakov if you don't mind put on your mute this way and when you want to ask something unmute yourself [Music] how do we do this how do we draw down this mouthfuls in israel hashem says crown me timely upon you hashem's kingship should be over us takes and requires the kabbalah by the eden in a very deep inner desirable place within their nephesh because it's an option and it's that place where we what we call the eczema fish the east set the essence of the soul is touched and says i want to be king so now that ebb wants to he wants to do what what yaakov asked before tell me a practical a practical way of understanding this what happens i will the boot this is the idea of shebot dedication [Music] what does that mean you know you get you i want an example and i'm giving you more hebrew words give me english words that happen says okay i'm sorry more more more spiritual worlds give me something more practical he does let's go further the idea of shibutukashi it's when one person dedicates himself to a friend harihara says what does that ship would consist of that he feels that he must do only what is applicable and relevant to his friend valencia and not anyone else i'll stop here for a moment this idea that you're mushubit to another person means you're willing to do and and you will do what the other person wants by hook or by crook now i when i say by crook i don't mean to be overcast and and ethics that's not part of the discussion but i'll give you an example and i hope it's a good example years ago when i lived in l.a a friend of mine didn't have insurance and he was having terrible terrible back pains and needed an operation i believe and he came and he said can you help me somehow so i was able through my whatever i was doing i was able to put him on my insurance or get him insurance and he was able to have the operation and hashem was successful now i'm convinced if he would have gone to many other people they would have started to ask 65 questions and who are you and where are you how are you why are you when are you and they would have not give done that because what i did frankly i don't know i don't look into the legalities i didn't look into i just did what i had to do and it worked maybe you could say it was gray it wasn't black and white okay and and i'm not i'm not saying this because it's about me that what i'm saying is this is the nakuda i wanna i wanna share the the real nakuda that once when you're shook it to someone else when you when you when you really want to have sheba to someone else you don't ask questions this whole idea of asking questions really it shows that you're not mashup you could be nice or you could be kind and and this is this is very personal and it's very real now sometimes you'll say well you know someone asks you and we discuss the two someone asks for seduction what if they're using that the stucco for drugs if you know they're using it for drugs offer them a sandwich you know but what i'm saying is you know there's an expression in yiddish it's an age-old expression a lie you are not allowed to say other however the gun said ms god of man need zogon but the entire truth you must not say now again there if someone is you know um if someone doesn't have any room for gray this saying to him is a taboo the saying is outrageous and our personality is that there's only black and white there's no grave and that's the way hashem created people some people but i'm i'm talking about what should be newest what should be might know what should my approach be should it be that i um i'm looking to challenge the request or for the beat i'm looking to accommodate the request and let the chips fall where they fall sheboot she boot we talk about she put you know tripod is the word also for mortgage you mortgage yourself you have a mortgage in the house does the house belong to you absolutely not because until you pay the mortgage the bank owns the house and the bank confiscate the house so it's not yours it's theirs sheba means that it's not if you have sheba to a friend it's not you it's they they occupied such space in you that they are primary and you're ancillary and that's a tremendous a tremendous level of obvious israel as labor checks see them saying it's brought in i'm sure remembers it the piece of bread is miner is diner v miner it's yours as it's mine and then it says and we preface diner yours far miner before mine this i have a piece of bread it's i bought it this morning in the bakery and we're saying that this piece of bread it's not mine it's yours i happen to have this course to buy it to be able to share it with you not not share with you to be able to share it with myself because really it's yours shebot so what is he saying here he need kane go now to the next continuing so too it's in spiritual matters being mortgaged to godliness shalom next page 34 that one should have no other desire and will whatsoever that's she with lily coos in other words the barometer is one second you understand the barometer it is what's the barometer you have to ask yourself is this is this what god wants is this what hashem wants moshe myers do you mind taking off your mute please is the the shebot is that it's all about ellie kus the endless if you have already any other rough sign be it as minute as it is you're not mashup you're a great guy and you're a naivet and you're about to and you're about this and everything else but you're not mashup with lily coos now when you think about this how many of us and how many people do you know could you say ahmed shubert lelicus that anything everything they do is is based on elokus because they're mashup and and and they allow well they cous to drive them and and and lead them and that is what and you know when you think about it if you think about this nakuda it's a different rosh hashanah do you understand when you learn to see this and you think about this this idea of rosh hashanah it's a different type of if you if you engage in this mindset and activity and this is what you're looking to to to strive for and this is what you're looking to accomplish that this coming year your lacus your your your commitment your dedication should be in a manner of shibut yes you understand so as i understand that that means slavery that a slave doesn't have a mind of his own completely given over to the master he's owned by the master the man to all of you so if that's the kind of giving over to her him then you'd like to stay you know you don't have any any whatsoever you completely given over to the master very good excellent correct just like i said that the bank owns your house it's a shebot it's a mortgage yes yaakov you wanted to say something uh was that coming to also answer before i yes yes yes that that's that's why this is a continuation to the what we ended at the last chapter the funny correct you understand what you you asked the question do you understand the answer to the question let me hear a little more the panemias say show me that the mouse that you're speaking about and and saying those 10 verses and music are demonstrative of an inner commitment which is shibut that's ponemius that's a funny let's [Music] which is an experience that transcends all other traits and powers even the ordinary traits which we call our encompassing of will and pleasure and because here shemesh he dedicates himself only to hashem i'll give you another uh muscle but the rebbe parsons mishpot in and and and i'm sorry lotie misha caleb you probably remember your listening i'm sure you learned to the morristown and this was a very very uh became a memorable mimer in in chabad because the rebel was very emotional during the mimer very emotional and was very unusual and what part was he most emotional about the rebbe asked the question that's asked by many of them offers him the gemara says you're talking about the greatest of the great and he doesn't know whether he's going into ghanaian or god will be the opposite so the farcia masked this question and everyone gives a different answer and the rapper had his answer that's what bring him which was a very unique answer the rabbit said that when did rabbi namazaka make this ask this question what was it when he was 55 years old was it when it was 35 or was it when he before was passing on the answer is it was before he was passing on it was towards the end of his life it was the last day of his life of course he how could you say he didn't know the answer is he never thought about it and why didn't he think about it because he had a mission that said to teach and if throughout his life if we'd make a hezbollah where am i going to gonadan or the opposite it would be a waste of a minute from his sleekers that he should be teaching toyota doing mitzvoth with other yidan and he realized that this would be a detraction from a shlikas so he never took a moment to ask himself a question but at the end of his life when according to how lucky he's supposed to make a jeffers because you're passing on that's what it says so he was obligated to make a freshman so it's the first time that he made a husband so he says where am i going he never in other words thought about himself and that ever said this is the this is sheba that i didn't use the word she put but this is the way he should live their life and then there ever said this when he was emotional he said vasmirava vs why do i care whether i have love for god or fear for god pleasure for god will for god all those thoughts as lofty and holy as they are if the timing is wrong it's an abuse of your mission very powerful and at that time the river broke down crying and it was very emotional you know it was two years after he a year and a half after he accepted the leadership a year actually have to accept the leadership of chabad and they were making him nuts to be the rebber and that meant his you know his learn you know he had to now serve the people so he's like to us it was like he was talking to himself serving the people is ultimately where it is where it's at and the struggle one has is serving self or serving others and serving self can be as lofty as saying well how did i dabble today how did i learn today what where where is my real uh drive ruxin what what what brings me pleasure and those are very very legitimate questions when when you're making a fresh banana fish so the show is supposed to make a hajj banana fish thursday night before shabbos some people make hajj bananas clothing of the week some people make there are times when instructors to make a fresh banana fish but other than that making the husband takes away another minute from helping another jew and you and if you do that it's about self yes moisture you want to ask them to say something yeah i want to ask a question basically before the revenue accepted the necessary did he have would you say in your humble in your opinion did he have the same hashtag as this whole the concept of sheboot before he accepted densius in other words he he was he didn't want it right to like some maybe one maybe one could say from to an extreme in a certain level right yeah so what what was what changed or what was before he accepted nasius what was his hashtag i would say that the before and after is a major difference because when a sadiq man of israel is revealed when it's revealed to him and he allows that revelation to take place there's you can call it another new spark a new energy whatever whatever term you want to something new takes effect you know i mean this is a very long discussion so it's not for now but in chabad we believe that sadik is born at saddaq you don't become a sadiq khabad sadiq is not the saddek of the gomorrah brothers right what does that mean the devil that malef was born with a yates or her and through fasting he he eliminated eradicated his yetzer that's true and that's the legalistic and talmudic way of understanding her in that whole scenario see this the balshem toef talks about this concept in a spiritual way which doesn't contradict the halachic talmudic way it's another realm of reality and hasidus and the belgento of the terrorists of the balshemptov teach us and the altarebin chapter one already lays the groundwork for this ideology that we're not talking about a scale reward and punishment better and worse how many points am i getting and how how hot will be in the oven of of of you know of purgatory or whatever okay we're talking about the rooftop thing are you connected or you're not connected it's a different map a very different map and that different map changes when your position changes because your nest sense changes and mind you dr ebba says in chapter 14 and tanya that when the banana does what he or she he's supposed to do he's impregnated with the soul of assadic all be it temporarily but impregnated what does that mean that's from the arizona by the way what does that mean that means that there's something new that comes to the bane in the right so if it's true by a banana the average person how much more true is it moisture by exotic so when you ask is there a difference between the rep is hashkafa you know before and after he became a rapper again if you mean hashkaf as a regular person i would say no but if you but if you mean in rookness in terms of spirituality there's a major difference so you know you have to really answer to yourself what you meant by ashkeva you understand if if your question is did he before he became a rebel believe that he should be up all friday night and not sleep friday night which he didn't the answer is he didn't do that from the day he married his the previous rapper's daughter because they made the previous level made up three conditions with each of his son-in-laws no sleeping friday night no pudding and no putting in false teeth and i forget the third one you anything do you remember the third one oh thank you and making of a brain and every shabbos maverick so the rabbit did that feast of a brain once you know sitting at a kitten for brengan before before it became rapper um i can't tell you it seemed like from the rebels teeth because people saw him eating the murderer and he bit down he had no teeth so it seems like he did that right from whenever his teeth fell out and friday night he was up that we also know and not only was he up but his brother-in-law robert garrary used to come into 770 the buckham were around and he and he learned for several hours and he went back up he did because he didn't want to fall asleep i guess so it wasn't only the rapper so you didn't have to be a rabbit to be a friday night those were conditions so that was before so you can't say that if so if you mean that as as hashgaffer there's no change because he had but if you're talking about ruchnius the caucus to be able to be mashpir on claudius royal what what what what what the rebbe says in the mind that he left us the last monument that he distributed before he had a stroke which is like the last will and testament in a way he says a rabbit saddiq is a mashira benu what's the moisture of being he's a shepherd he instills gas and a munna in every single yid oh that comes from a river that before 1951 he didn't give that to you that wasn't his job i hope this i hope this address is enough to to your answer your question let's go on doug it does i just want to make one all right you know maybe maybe now is not the time to yeah if it's about this let's go on and you know another time but it's okay sorry okay let's continue inside because we do have to learn the my verb so he says third line um here are the hebrew traditional mimer words for what we call today in psychology the paradigm shift budged moved from his place from its place the whole atmo the very essence of the person is moved from its place is budged it's not it's it's it's moved the name and it's drawn to hashem the hispalus with an inner emotionalism shepherd nephesh how does that inner emotionalism express itself not by screaming loud but psychos are coiled with psychos alive crying screaming of of the voice and screaming of the heart but because in a sound in a voice that's inner that's not heard the coil out loudly rather but you know the various the the the sounds of the schaefer true and the schwarz right so that's right of what what are you screaming what are you saying when we blow the schaefer and we hear the schaefer and the schaefer is demonstrative of these cries what we're saying what we're experiencing what we're supposed to be thinking about is you are our king so but let's go back he says over here the indian of truth and rosh hashanah is that your entire essence and being is moved from its place what's that in today's terms i believe it's that concept of the paradigm shift the paradigm shift means i i change completely the way i think about something that's what we're looking for andrei that's what we're looking for and you know the zayar akadesh the holy zoya says she's not here quiet the holy s the holy zayer says that chuva is like taking a rooster a hand a chicken and when it has dirt on itself and you want to get the dirt off the rooster you can't get it off even if you apply a a vacuum cleaner because there'll still be some dirt in between the feathers of the rooster of the chicken so what needs to be done the chicken itself needs to gives it give itself and yes we say a tracel a shank like shake and bake a treasure and when it gives itself a shake every drop of dirt in between its feathers will fall off that's the paradigm shift and it comes from only you the person and it comes from within yourself so when you make the the shift in the mind that i want to make a change and i don't want to live the way i've lived till now and i want to live in a higher way in a better way and i'm ready to take a bee then you can accomplish what he says here and then you and and that's why and and this idea of the paradigm shift does not come is very important from shaking and screaming and and hot that's not where it comes from i'm sorry you could shake and scream from today to tomorrow and and you're the same person but if you go through an inner and inner transformation tsaka nimi's like you so move that you don't even even have the kayak to cry loud to scream loud because you're kind of so schwak you're so weak i don't mean weak in the negative but you're like you're your yesh your aggressiveness your your you know opinion sayer has fallen to the side and all of a sudden you're just a vessel to listen but but it it hurts going through the process so you do cry and scream but inside inside steep steep inside that's what that's what takes place when you blow shaytar so yes someone has to blow the shafter and make the sound right but what do we say what's the halal say call up you know that all sounds within the the category of kia true and shwarim are kosher you know sometimes you go to your shoe to the shoe you hear the there's about the clay and say ah the guy blew so tech the answer is okay it's nice if someone can blow nice and powerful so that the people can hear and then people at the other end of the show and people in the women's section all that but the truth is if you blew a sound it's questioned why because it's not about the sound it's not about how loud or how how low the sound is it's about the essence the essence and that's what you have to think about when you stand the shoe and you hear the baltic air blowing or if you're the baltic air this is what you should be thinking about is am i blowing the schaefer and am i hearing the shape in a way that it touches my penis and that's what we that's what we work towards and if you prepare yourself and you adopt them because and you and you when you work on yourself it'll it will be more and more and more and that's why every year we go through it back to the my [Music] this essential subservience through accepting the yoke of shamaya and besides [Music] and arousing the great gira an inner awe and reverence for hashem you affect heaven and what do you effect when hashem sees that we are going through an inner transformation a deep inner experience so the reciprocal effect is that he goes through such an experience and which means he wants to be he agrees to be not a king in other words the process of being a king is a very deep process and it takes your guts out it rips your kishkis out it's not just being a boss it's not it's not with the red going back to the river when the rabbit finally agreed what did he say you tried 1951 at the first fabregan when he said the first bible he said my friends we will help you but you have to do it yourself for him to say we will help you in a way meaning as a lubavitcher rebbe continuing that tore him inside upside down this is it's not just whoever has them you don't play not it's not on you to please mute yourself sorry this isn't just you know i'm going to give you a dollar i'm going to explain to you arashi that's not what a rebel is about i mean not not a chabad i mean maybe the other in khabar it's a whole different notion it's a different different notion and that notion requires a very deep pneumous and so what are we learning here a fascinating thing that when we go through the nasal miracle when we go through the paradigm shift we cause god to have a paradigm shift hashem's having a paradigm shift what is the paradigm shift from not wanting to be a melody to be in the mirror that that change of attitude is a paradigm shift metaphorically speaking for akadesh baruch and this is this will be created through our shepherd with funai by in hashem let's continue this is the idea [Music] if you look into kabbalah writings it speaks about what's given a rosh hashanah you'll need the kessler the the crown of the of the king kessler what's this guesser you know you have a safe attorney you have a kessar i think i told you yesterday i think that really what makes the torah special it's the kesser but you'll say why if i don't if i can't afford to buy a castle for a torah it's not a safe attack of course it is but it's not just an enhancement through an ornament the kesser symbolizes that toyota is everything and not just a safer trader and a book of of of laws and a book of good explanations the question establishes this is what's what it's all about the crown the kessler malek says so the rep explains here that ever says here that this idea that it says that on rosh hashanah the kessler for of us is nimshaq is drawn into the world this is what we mean that it's the paneemius the sheboot that causes hashem to go through his own paradigm shift and give us the kesser which is demonstrative of his paradigm shift and who draws down this thing we [Music] on the sixth day of creation through beyonce the behavior on the 25th available island the world was created but rosh hashanah is not on the 25th malchus is being drawn we need to for hashem to be our hashem we need to draw down that [Music] that can only be accomplished when we choose through our couple of soil to dedicate ourselves to hashem you're innocent an animal cannot does not have the hera doesn't have the free choice and the free will so therefore the world was not created on the 25th i'm sorry therefore this hashem is not on the 25th but rather on the day when autumn was created because it's all about man's free will and making the choice having hashem be god the king for all the malicious omar and adam said and this we say both knights of rajashana in the paragraph after monastery before orlando hashem god reigns and invests himself with gaius with exaltation [Music] this god of kingship is done through the kabbalah soil that each and every one of us shows we'll continue tomorrow okay any questions or we'll uh yeah one question rabbi sure if i might yeah i you know if someone is really desiring hashem to be king melo we see what's going on in the world so if someone's governing all year please we need hashem to be mellow we want you to know how does that compare to the power of rosh hashanah i know roshana this is the day we declare champion but is there a mathematical is there a comparison in the power of each of those two yeah okay i'll answer it the answer is as as explained in the mimo length but to repeat that throughout the year the kabbalah soil is not about hashem being king from the inside it's hashem being king on the outside it's a cop standing in the corner making sure that you don't speed otherwise you're getting a ticket it's a behavior role is not about the behavior it's about the essence of of of relationship it's not about you know reward and punishment tit for tat you know so throughout the year moshe yeah you say hashem you're my king i want you to be my king but it's oriented based on behavior be it behavior in myself behavior and deborah speech or behavior and thought but it's behavior orientation no no because wait wait to change your behavior doesn't require changing your premiums right okay i want to lose weight i want to lose weight now because i'm overweight so i diet do i really believe that that the the the bread and pastries are unhealthy because of what they are on their own no no but i got a practical situation that i have to deal with so i deal with it in other words there's no change in the psychology there's no change in the paradigm is about a change in the paradigm and and in fact the fact that we say there's a judgment that there's a scale and gosh and gets up it's all true but it comes as a result of one's introspection and that's called the sheeplet the premius you know people can be married all their life and be respectful of each other but they might not be truly dedicated to each other dedication is much more than just what i do for you and you do for me and you know and we get along and we live out our life that that's that's important no question about it but that's not what we're talking about here and we're talking about a candidate that's like a business agreement that yeah okay right but so i'm saying you can make a business it says for example why the way there's a plastic i think of shirashi um why do i love hashem because he's your life he gives you life that's also a business agreement he's giving me life he wakes me up in the morning i'm able to get up i'm able to function i'm able to work i'm able to go to partners i'm able to go to school i'm able to learn i own my life it it is that is that the end all of the relationship so it's a very it's a whole different platform using a very different platform okay kevin have a great day we'll see everyone tomorrow as i deserve bye-bye
