Practical Chasidus w Rabbi chaim Dalfin - Maamar Choviv 1940 #8

good okay we're on learning the minor covered well dumb were towards the end of the mindler today we'll be continuing on page 277 so we're learning here about the mission MPT Ava's hub of other developments Ellen beloved as man was created in the image of a Shem and then have even yes royal beloved are yes really should share Nikkor abundant by mock him that are called children to a share obviously if the mission divides and enumerates two different types of love to beloved's one other and one this royal and significance and a meaning to it so that ever wants to understand that number two his question is why the order why not Israel before other because simply speaking of them would mean the human being all humans non-jews included and you thought yes I love Jews so you would think if pity of is that you wish enterprise which it is it mentioned first Israel and then the other and therefore that ever says that that his they were based on his ancestors understanding of of this are Picasa this and I emphasize out people I see there's not all P simple shot and the Mishnah with the commentators okay because if you say this to someone who's an age credit should never learn considers he'll say you're not be Gladys or your enamorada to either you're a heretic or you're an ignorant person so it's very important when we repeat considers to put it in a context and when we put it in a context everyone actually say everyone but those that are open-minded and and don't have an axe to grind or an agenda then you kid you know then they'll be respectful of you you know the nineteen early forties the previous read our author he survived Nazi Germany after his struggle in Russia so he went through a lot and he physically wasn't well and he came to America you would think now here was a man who sixty years old and he literally suffered so much and that he was still alive was miraculous really and he came here it's the free world he would think that the last ten years of his life he would be peaceful and tranquil well for about five years of that time from forty to forty-five til the end of the war / primarily he had inner conflict not within himself but from the Jewish community the from community who opposed him in various ways I mean and in frankly in some ugly ways and and and nevertheless that ever kept his there ever kept is sorry no no it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't with reverence I love a chick who was his confidante but his supporter and and he stood up for him many any and he spoke about the specialty of the Babbage and Babbage Shiva so you could say that why you you know I'm Israel world if you put it in those terms was very much with him and the Pacific world that believe was also pretty much with it not though there wasn't really a Hasidic world of much in the 1940s they were you know a handful of rebels of hue of the Lower East Side a few Brooklyn but you can't even say there was a Hasidic world there were few custody grantees with you know you know congregants who dabbled in their soul but the literature world would started to build itself from 1941 in a way sense even earlier than the war they were here you know earlier they not all of them but some of their leaders really you know gave him a very hard time and he and his brother Ari were strong enough and big enough and had maybe even bigger connections with many people from Russell came over because what Babbage in Russia was the kingpin okay they could say whatever they want but the kingpin was cabal in Russia for 200 years 150 years for sure and I the more I study history I see how how they were with everyone I mean I'm now finishing a book on tells the you know you see even Cleveland the famous Russia but that tells receiver and the chief in Chicago that tells receiver and it amazes me how going back to 1910 1920 12 1989 I found letters from the rishabh you know about tells and and then I found a letter from Rabbi Eliezer Gordon he was the head of the achieve at the time who asked for a set of the same aesthetic responsive that they send them and I have a copy of the letter from the achieve Angela BBQ she was letterhead sending him in 1918 a set of a semi said that the true verse of the time I said it what I'm saying is that you know the the relationship between Chabad Lubavitch and the literature world there was very it was very good overall during those years you have to understand that people don't understand they don't have the background and they don't want to understand it the cultural the cultural experience was very much tight I'll give you an example you're all living a bet Shemesh you're not my picture you know lebarge car bomber I'm not the cherish is is a little hole-in-the-wall okay I mean as far as when I was there you know you have so many others larger you know shoals and groups whatever nevertheless everyone pretty much gets along you know now I wouldn't be surprised if the kids from the Barbara homes for parents who mean that way can end up married kids from race from these kodesh from rabbi am what's called rabbi yeah I'm told that next to my Pharaoh's rule the rabbi you know that he will you go to sometimes what I'm saying is this their behavior what I'm saying is that although this one's orientation is astronauts and this was as breslav and this was as Chabad but everyone is like is together so culturally it also allows for an integration and that's what happened actually prewar I mean I could tell you names of staunch you know people from a book from mere from tells whose wives rural daughters of the Bible are considered and and and most of them the kids ended up the baggage because you know the mother is the mainstay in the home now unless you know you send your kids when they're teenagers or you know college-age and they go to a little Shiva's having you know then they will they will become beliefs locks that say rabbi Ruderman of Baltimore the Russian ship over there is wrong you know that his father was Allah by virtue closes they can know that and that his say that took him to the river I shop for a bro so he told everyone he was going to say he got a brush over there ever a shop but he was a real it you know what happened he learned to Slovakian is in his you know teenage years and they were in different they weren't you know what anti Casillas but it didn't mean anything to him so naturally he went in the trend of Mooser and and and literature you know lifestyle know that so that's what happens at a certain point now then it was more prominent because because of the the the the move because everyone was kind of you know survival mode today when we're in a free society you have more time to decide who I want to be Alabama to repress liver a Sackler elite welcome mirror or Apple upon the feature you know everyone you know you know and let's not you know go into you know what is better than the other just just the idea so this you didn't have really in pre-war when it came to America everyone was positioning themselves well Babbage kabab didn't position himself they just were always you know leaders in communal issues so the previous or ever with her crime elisa were like this and they came to and he came to all the meetings of reply amazing because he respected reply money sir you understand so when it comes to america and and and this is and he sees that when the refugees in shanghai were supposed to be given money for food and clothing and survival and was given from a one prominent rob was rabbi Epstein a flying official Epstein of Chicago it was a rabbi there in a shoe for sixty years and I wrote about him very interesting man his brother was the receiving slop bucket at much emerge to Epstein and this rabbi Epstein wrote a letter and I had cited the letter and in the letter he says the money I raised is to be given to all to everyone all the is Shiva students and all the achievers they were about five hospital being function of Labov a mere and the one or two others and everyone should get well not everyone got but didn't get get as much or didn't get equal and didn't get all the time and and and and this was this really disturbed under their the the previous eleven because later they wrote a letter to the rabid karate rabbi right chick actually I think was one of the sign he was on the letter on behalf of the 38 students we don't have what to eat to the point that our crimes will leverage the receiver and mere authorized some of his Bufferin at 3:00 4:00 in the morning to go to the Labatt that the Babbage's students who come and they'll throw down food from the window that's that's how they have to smuggle food because otherwise they would be blamed from the father yes vada of Sola in New York that you're giving money to them when they have their supposing they have there I don't want to go into the right wrong cuz there was a very tough time so defeated could ever had this issue and and he writes about it in a letter in the sky dish of his and volume eight he writes over there he says you know they mama char like like attack you know hurting me and making my life difficult so he went through a lot of hardship now why am I telling you this what does this have to do with the minor because we're learning about Kovac autumn and five even Israel so one of the other issues is that their ever previous or ever saw that each Jews even are are losing their faith both men and women the Holocaust was happening until forty to I think what they found out of the great act that all that unfortunately it was a very difficult time that people already asked this were assimilating and now with the Holocaust so they never felt he had he to try to give a global message to hidden to hidden who were still speaking Yiddish and that was a natural tongue of hope and faith so he clandestinely had an editor put out a magazine called huh Kiev at Ducie the reading the call and the holiness and in that magazine in that newspaper of sorts once a month was published from 1941 pretty much 1945 he there was articles written about tearing up of faith and facilities and also he he wrote my mahram in Yiddish that were very very basic and again his his purpose of all that was to keep them connected some of these my modern were were interpretations that weren't literal the figurative so for example the mission empathy others but says a copy of the mahalo layman right that's a rabbi ask anyone that's right so mister Pitts a rabbi yaakov a better how the that's his name he never said that yeah but Mahalo Aloha means caveats from the word akin a heel Mahalo L is from the word Hillel Hillel which means to praise a copy of them Holloway means that there'll be a time when even the heel will give praise to God who represents the heel the Jews that are not very learning right because the difference between the head and the heel is if you hit the head it hurts he could make some first of your damage you hit the heel but it hurts less and it's not a big deal right so if you compare ahead ahead Jew to a heel Jew one of the Tommy the off me and the heel Joe of the simpletons so that ever was say that there'll be a time and he was referring to the time of the Holocaust when when there were many akava Jews heel Jews and they never said specifically then you'll give praise to a Shem that'll bring Messiah when you the heel jewel will do Hillar kavya been Mahalo when you give praise that will be only a more of a reason for Michelle to come well the the little fox you know flipped out from that interpretation another example trade should know the huh supporter it's a mission em bitten in Baba kama everyone every child in yeshiva when it begins really the mother an ox of gores cow what's the dimensions is a full damage is that ox eh-eh-eh-eh known you know Nagas I know him banger and someone who continuously is he's not got for is it not hot seen as a cold has it show I'm 50% 100% that's the Mishnah the cannabis explains it in more spiritual tradition other cuz I put up that it has to do with with with with the type of gates of her and nefesh apartments you have do you have a sure type of yetzer hara Burmese or a himura and he talks about that for the mission in the elements is a lumen C or shall I these are Mattias you find verifiable Hafiz and these are the findings that you have to announce right and the minister continues so the neighbors brings the explanation that this is talking about the Jew who finds a soul he finds a person in the street that he says you're a lead come but I'm feeling comforted shul comes make a brother sale Italian come but you know let's reunite your neshama then comes along someone else and he says wait a minute I'm the one who told him to even go there so I should be the one who gets credit for his truther so we have a mellitus who is the one who brought this neshama to chuhwa and the mistress says yeah let it cool or whatever they'll do find it so all these I just gave you three examples all of these interpretations the the Litvak world they're pretty much at that time and the leadership of the establishment you know they they were very upset and they felt that the rep is is belittling the literal shock in the mission and the Gemara which of course that wasn't his intent so all I'm saying is that if you don't have a background it's so easy to accuse and and and belittle and what I was showing you is it took quite a while and I was hoping wouldn't they so long is that even good island and you know made this accusation seventy years ago you know and it wasn't good so it's very important to to when you share custody especially if it's casitas that involves a mission or a Gemara or a Halawa to give a brief background so that the listeners have that perspective and but for example when I spoken in at M'Lynn solutions sure you know several times and although he the grove you know asked me to talk and you know it was with his sanctioning nevertheless I gave them a context before I give over words of Casilla so they understand where I'm coming from and therefore it makes it you know it's more acceptable now then today today everyone is giving interpretations and everyone's making very classic and everyone is interested goolies so it's not you know but then when you had hardcore you know with rocks and hardcore you know people learning and this is the problem the Mishnah you know what are these ceviche interpretations you know it's good for our level Malkin when you're half drunk and half asleep and you want to wake yourself up you say a nice little saying you know but but but the real learning is to murder dachang tasteless you know that was the attitude at the time you know it came from came out of with or whatever and and there's something to it don't think there's nothing to it there's something to it when there's trying to do hardcore learning it's hardcore learning it's not quite enough applause you know that you do it when you when you you don't have the mind to learn for whatever reason you know today it's a different environment today on the country what inspires someone at a shop is table is a vert imagine gonna tell them a pupil you know you lose your crowd then you lose them before you even you know so it's a whole different sea but nevertheless there are those wannabes who convince themselves that they're they're you know holier than thou and more learning than thou and they they look up bow oh the pun of the Talmud then is that's the ultimate and I'm about to Shuba and you know that's what I have to strive for and frankly some of their kids and grandkids already in the system and I saw this in Asia code this meeting different people who have kids come famous modern different times and I and I served a very interesting dynamic some of them came from Cheryl Yasir and the various box abusive ISM individual linemen in America especially a ship you know out in Far Rockaway of a frightful see Shiva and the kids were ready very right-wing upon the veg Mears la bocca Severn you know and you know and some of them invited me to their home and I came you know and they wanted me to share because they wanted me to share casa this you know and hoping that their kids would catch catch on and and I saw that you know it's not so easy to you know those never saw Shiva and Marcia has more weight than crime Dolphin coming in for Friday night meal and sing over it's just you know and God blessing really you know that that's the way it should be mean to say you know you Russia Shiva you're much gear you must fear that's the that's the one that a buffer or you're curled her must be be ice and teachers that's what they should listen to I'm not I'm not saying they should you know but but at the same time the overall the overall Barbara's today is more open and receptive to to the vert to the to the the you know the QT the cutesy saying the gamut Rhea and and all of that so Ravi vada and have even you saw and that ever says have even a hobby bottom does not refer to a Gentile he says it refers to a Jew and again not that the trap is wrong but his interpretation is that the based on the Hasidic thinking I'm going to share with you that Larry welcome is a human being as is a Jew what a so why is he called other a Jew is a Jew conceiving Israel why is it called of them say says because it's quote talking about the nefesh of sickness the human rational logical sold and dry within the Jew and and since it's open to Satan and it is guided and harnessed by say go by logic therefore we attributed to other versus he's wrong cuz your smile is yummy I will kiss and chew is all about the neshamah ello kiss and by the way every Jew from Fri even some that that might be anti submitted against Jews like we've discussed you know there's an official kiss there they're in big exile but that's their enough Italy kiss but of course both of them is the nephews of syphilis so then that ever says so how did the two get together and what's the purpose what is the purpose of having so what you know we have an official bodies we have an official kiss they're in two ends of the spectrum and then we have in the middle of an emphasis Italy's that ever says this is the purpose of of why Hashem created us to synthesize the nefesh I promise an official that gives to be able to talk to each other and make a wholesome experience by utilizing the virtue of both what's the virtue of both so he taught us that the virtue of the nephrons Obama's is passion passion the virtue of net facilities is godliness without the nefesh I promise you could have godliness but an apathetic cold way 1000m facility is the passion can be can be and is usually drawn and used for inappropriate thing for no good things so the necessary kiss tells the nefesh our bodies i want your passion for god and then after job bombings tells necessarily kids i want your god leads to make my passion holy but wait a minute we're so far from each other it's a generation gap so they burst in made that he gave us an official sequence who understands both languages and both our ideologies and both philosophies and the nephew just simply says listen nefesh I promise I understand you're a Bahama you want to indulge and I will give you guidance and justification for you for your tightest but since I'm doing it I'm say ho I don't act like a bimbo yeah to be able to support it improve it so automatically you know what that does it cools off the negative passion then the deficit which turns to the nefesh of the kids and says I understand you all you want as I said you don't want to but you don't want to work you want to just being based medicine and the shul and Davin and learn and and and you want to be with the Angels well my dear friend I shall put you on earth to work everyday and you have a family and you know you know you you got it we have to do something that's that's bringing up our Nussle and I will help you find ways where you can be a godly man in the work force oh so each of them sees that an official syphilis is an interest ago she ater that doesn't have an ulterior gender that is against them but rather works for them they allow him to be part of the experience and ultimately the nefesh have syphilis where the witch is the place where there is free will as we discussed at length is a it brings together the right and the left and every job a beneficence and that is why this mission of causative other Mahavira Israel is such an important mission er because the able Hashem is saying loving I love this I love the unity between other than efficacy please and and and the nefesh ll kiss and of course the nefesh Obamas because that's why I created you and that's why I gave the Toyota this is an overall summary of what we learned that till now let's go to 276 now and we are at hold on oh so we are at about a one two three four five six seven seven lines from the top of the page 277 now official series means the heifers it it's refined Lahab in Omaha streetcar so better kiss to comprehend a godly idea this man this man his birth his body will be staff a fan aficionado from time to time the nefesh a promise is refined to Miss Ole Miss oddly enough is a citrus and at the prime of the nefesh embodies the animal drive is refined the deficit list is exalted missile it's elevated from the word alia right it comes to the floor of the hand value of the NASA unofficially kids became is Mahalo and the rebel says over him now is its plural through them through the net fish are cities and the nefesh Obamas value demand through them Nelson officially kids but penis Mahalo and something called a Mahalo a walker ago in other words you go normally there is the idea of a fine mate you're limited to what you are you you know this is who you are you called the claiming you're standing why I called you're standing because you're limited to your cop so if you're a hazard person it's tested the vorak Mura Rafa me the david stern of a sharma in truth or so unofficially kids or so is limitless so how does it obtain it's it's limitless how's that revealed better how's that revealed through excuse the expression that kick in the pants that it gets from the nourish our bodies and the nephews of citrus the passion that goes to the logic says he never shall a kiss stop box himself boxing yourself in and saying I only know my rabbi in Maya Shiva go to learn from everyone that doesn't mean you change the way you put on tilling and it doesn't mean change your sheet up but be open to learning beyond mihalis don't be an eye mate I think that means I want to go or you me that's all tunnel vision being Mahalo is here and if you're strong and you know who you are you could only benefit that's called a Mohammed let's continue and he says behind us right there where the superbaby different about me is through elevators refining that sure Bobby's feeling that was of citrus and the benefit that you get through the intellect so so nice early ocean of education their course is not even officially kids shalyah neither he traded for Leah the leader he imposes the the famous idea that the descent is for the purpose of the ascent he nearly as ice not stay that way the zoo this why is that called Hilde why the pool that you read there it's called the arena because the nephrons are the tears his godliness with angels well he what he want for me I don't want to I don't want to deal with Bahamas and even say ho get away from you I just want to dive in a shake and learn shake and bake in the shoe and in your saliva at a little corner and you know someone writes me from America I've got it running I'm gonna go to Israel I can't that mo my problem said I'm just gonna go to Israel I'm not talking about now colder than then and riots I said get a job first I see you all day on the computer and on Facebook get a job go out and work and with that code energy stroll you know so the point is the beneficiary kiss it's a year either for it to have to lower itself down to work and job their business and how to try Nick and that one says this and he says that leave me alone Oh what's the purpose you need the suit say Italia this descent most admires is for the purpose of an ascendant guesswork with all the issues we have and we have issues all around us personal communal exception spiritual physical material the purpose is to soar higher you can't soar higher if you're stagnant my love them are stagnant we call that time then they're standing in one place neshama so called my house him they're walking they're going get up get up early start the day early lady you'll be tired to fall asleep they'll deal with it later I'm up from 5 o'clock I jumped out of bed like a roaring lion and I put up some fliers all over Flatbush and burp I'm flying with my car from headed there jumped into the mikveh got a coffee came back to give this year I'm gonna be tired later later my husband you got to go as long as you're alive to get that sick of the bed I had two weeks of Kovac I couldn't move and I thought that was it I didn't actually think that was a fact I was gonna live I never thought I'm dying but off the shell I knew for sure I'm for sure what do we know you know but for some reason I had a sensation this is a tough one and you know I've got to get through it but I'm coming out of it and butter fashion so you got to be in my house as long as you're breathing and you're walking and you could do you gotta get out and move you have to you know in some way everyone can produce you know there's not even you talk to someone you make someone feel better you crack a joke you know you learn something you go visit someone who's home bow you know me people are homebound now and in pajamas just like here in Borough Park and you go to someone and you knock on the door he doesn't social distancing you stay far away if he wants that and you talk to them and yet then you make them happy that itself is your day you've made your day everything else is now extra credit you make your if you brought a smile to someone else's you know the personality and face anyway that ever sensor you need the dulce de Julio this you need to then officially gives it's for your own benefit now for each other kids because without it you're going to be an unmade you're gonna be like an angel and you're greater than angel so why do you want to suffice to be an angel and that's by the way one of the things that we we suffice with mini mediocracy you know we excellence is something that ah that's left for select you know every person has to strive for excellence and everyone has excellence in a certain area in their life identify what that is and bring it you know to yourself and to the outside so this is all a result of the net facilities working with an efficient Obamas I mean you understand what what it's at such a rich thought that's why I'm spending some prominent that the only way what we're learning the only way to get to excellence is getting your hands dirty that's my father your European Jew he taught us growing up a me it's like you know hard work hard work is where it's at you know so we would say we're bored so he would say of course and get his crops a cup and violent bang your head on the wall who you're born putting in your board no board when you have to get up at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning and go out to bring your parents a little food so they can eat the survive but there's no room for border you have four or five kids you gotta make up Aneesa there's no real I don't like this job I don't my dad's who else so so what that's why your kids a chauffeur so so so this whole idea of hard work intense labor and and and the you read that side of halia is a healthy way that brings at the end such happiness that is so reward for everyone knows here that the the the time he spent the school the time is spent in yeshiva the time you spent in in in in in difficult situations and then later in life you reap the benefit you reap the benefit I see it I see them and again I you know I was in a way you know limited in one in one area in yeshiva you know but even in in that sense I see now so many years later the virtue of the hard work at Yeshiva that I did I see it you know and I could point to it and and and it brought me a bunch of a family and a partnership so everyone has a talent everyone has something you you need to take it and develop it at end and if some reason like we discussed a few days ago you made a mistake and it's possible not going to say a mistake meaning that you know you know your advisor and college told you to go to be a historian or be a doctor it'll be this will be that and really it didn't talk to you you know and you're 40 50 years old and all the sudden you you know you want to be something else I have someone who's a top DC attorney I mean I mean really you know and making a very good living and he once told me you know if I had it my way I would be a rabbi I love to learn and I love to teach and you know and what am i doing I'm you know ultimately saving companies billion dollar companies and yes I get paid for it's very nicely but that's not really what I want I love to teach and tailor is is you know so here's a person with 50 60 years old and very successful very prestigious very accomplished in a very very fine person nevertheless is a part that so what do we do what do you do about that you know what you do you do what you guys are doing you learned every day and then when you have a chance Travis to give it to our later here there you do that and and maybe one day maybe one day you'll have you know finished with all your business and if you really want to be a rabbi you want to be a teacher you know you'll do you go into a school and you'll teach my and my McCook nobis solum you know he worked very hard that America came made aliyah tape there's this row and and and and he told me that he loved to to go into schools with you know autistic children and young children and and teach them and talk to them and part of what he did the last few years of his life is he did that up in the rear so it you know a person should not exclude that part that really you know is something they want to do but there's a crime for it there's a time for it you know I mean there's a time I'll get I'll get to that you know I'll get to that but right now I have to raise my family get them married a horse you know settle down and then I could pursue more of my dreams my beliefs I he didn't learn much insight today but I hope you appreciated the conversation any comments yeah yeah we we somehow need to share these things with all the other people we should have two hundred people on the zoom here now I'm saying it's a you know it's it's good learning it's good conversation maybe if we called it Moosa we would have more people instead of us in this I don't think so you think so life duels call the life the new most of motion Myers you could call it and market it any way you want and if you want me to change the word considers to life tools I'll even do that because when they see my beard don't know that this is a Labov at you're speaking so call the life tools call it mousse so you can't get away from it but i'll call it life tools too anyway guys have a great day be Moxley us be frail ah but she was coming soon side isn't bye-bye thank you
