Tu b'Shvat: Pleasure Yourself w Holiness

so no one can argue about this in fact they just came back for sure and in dominion where there's usually you know they they dive in the even before the nates and uh so usually the bidding there for special days for the alias goes high you know and today went for six dollars it's they always start at five and a guy said six because he buys always the alias if no one else is bidding and i turned around to somebody said you guys don't celebrate this rosh hashanah i don't understand for every other day you you every other day you guys bit it up and this day you just let it go anyway but it is a special day a very special day and again how do i know it's a special day when i was growing up it was just about not saying like everyone else around here you don't say you have a fruit and you go on but the rabbit started to fabring onto bishwat in the 1970s and he really made a a big deal about it what do i mean he explained the content of the day and he said even sometimes he said so it's another another point i wanted a side point just for a moment that ebba took a lot of these days that we have on the calendar that claudius row made no issue for the last hundreds of years to beshrat to be of and and other such days even though everyone knows that it's brought in the gomorrah or the mission or here or there but no one made a big deal about it no one really spoke about it it's only recent that hasidic rebels have started make started to make kind of more of a a big deal about these days some have the seders some do they have tissue you know what i'm saying but if if if if my heart serves me right i would say they all did it once the laboratory redmond the early 70s started you know making a big deal about all these days which is fine which is fine because you know the fact is that yiddish kite went to the right post holocaust more and more and more and in the 70s with the with the yeshiva you know with the the yeshivas the bali truvia shivers for the late 60s the diaspora yeshiva and the hadar torah and then then and the isha turin or samayak in the 70s you know going to the 80s so it became and then the regular yeshivas all became you know populated and and strengthened so many more students one so the jewish world found itself in a culture where more and more religion more and more holidays is appreciated you know when when i was growing up you know in the 60s and 70s you know we didn't hear about these things everything was you know our parents were working very hard they all survived and just came to the country and then they would you know just happy to be happy to have shabbos for my father if he could you know be a shabbos and and not fall asleep at the table and sing the gun and and be with his family that was the biggest gift that's all he needed you know and he told us so because he worked so hard during the week to make a living for the family so but that changed over the years and today it's it's very different and in a way i just had my grandkids here i just told you you know and i and i i look at them and i hear them i see them and and i think about how i grew up and how they're growing up and it's night and day it's night and day and they're not growing and and the growing up my son is a very fine you know father and husted and jew and all that but it's it's just a different culture it's a very different culture the world is really differently it's it's 50 60 years later from 1970 you know and a lot of changes and uh we're feeling it we're feeling it now you know so we're already on on the older side you know with our grayish white beards and you know what i'm saying we're already but but but so so so what what is our responsibility as grandparents our responsibilities to to provide and make way and and do things that the next hundred years with mashiach or god forbid without mushy lucia there'll be a a strong yiddish kite a strong british kite and not to decide our yiddish guy based on a few in may or showroom or a few in borough park or if you chicago and a few in los angeles all of you this kite what can we do and and this is it's being done more and more i'll give you an example i got a call from someone yesterday from staten island someone who i met at ut's kisla fabrain and i led a staten island one of the evenings never met him before and find out that he's a chaplain in the army and there are times he he was stationed overseas and now you know now he's doing his work from here grew up in a literature kind of home semi went to some literature yeshivas started to gravitate to this and called me to ask about this tape that i released from as alma schechter and different things him was asking me then he tells me you should know i listen to your urim on my way from staten island i drive my kids into brooklyn to yeshiva i follow and i'm up to date with your classes of the morning that i'm giving now i can't be there in person because i'm on the road but i follow them no that's what i did just yesterday you know just just the passing you know who who would imagine because i put them up on youtube you know and sometimes i say who's watching them on youtube you know they're 45 minutes they're long people that don't have their patience you know our share we're you know we're saying it's we're learning interactive it's it's yeah yeah my shoe do you stream them live on youtube no on facebook you stream them live on facebook yeah right now we're on facebook but only you see me you don't see you guys right but we do hear you whatever you know whatever says it's heard yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and and people from time to time participate and they make with up for thumbs and they make comments you know hashem but the point i'm saying is that it's a whole different type of uh of world we live in so going back to rosh hashanah so the rebber the rapper saw this i mean this is again look at a a rebel who was in a way old-fashioned you know i'm saying he came from a game from a state who came from nicolai he lived through the first world war the second world war didn't have children uh on and on as we discussed and he has the vision to just to do things which now we see the fruit and the positivity and and how everyone's emulating him and barack hashem [Music] there's a famous talk of the rabbi i'm not going to go into it now if you care to you can find it probably online or in the same in and he explains that we find a commonality between beisham and basil throughout shas and if you were to analyze all the different uh disagreements between the sean and still you'll see the same thread throughout and what is that whether we we deal with the issue we relate to the issue based on potential or whether which is called in hebrew or do we go after the kayak or do we go after rapport the actuality bashar my wholes you follow the kayak right so what does bashamus say how many how many do you um and basilo says bepoyo and basil says so but it still the potential for the actual budding of the uh of the trees but it doesn't happen until 15 days later so basilo says that's when it's really rosh hashanah illamas because we follow the pile the shaman says no we follow the kayak and it starts and then restricted uh yanis are you familiar with that you recall that secret yeah right so it's a very good secret to learn because it goes through several different you know hanukkah do we light eight eight candles the first night and then seven or do we do one and and and and and then go down to and go up to eight and and such things but going back to the cuda going back to this idea so what are we celebrating today the illinois ilonies are fruit fruit represents bosi legani lignuni we just come from basiligani a place of delight in other words the celebration of tu bashrat is not just about that part of tata that is what we call grain wheat bread necessity existence but tu bashrat celebrates and is the rosh hashanah for pleasure for delight what is pleasure in the light in the world of torah the inner aspect of terror when you start tasting the inner aspect of torah it's a different torah and going um since i'm still on this you know uh video with zalman so he tells over the story that in 1938 he came to uh marseille or somewhere around there and it was hamish oscar that's the way the the pola the polo see them hungarians they don't say to beshvat they say so it's the 15th hamisha sir and and they had a substitute their their teacher couldn't be there that day he said i'll send you a substitute a person walks in the substitute and the substitute is someone that zalman had seen in before in the basement learning with a moroccan and he didn't know his name and he knew nothing about it that he came and sat down with him didn't speak to anybody else and picked himself up and left so zalman and his friends you know coined him the moroccan if if he's learning with a moroccan he must be moroccan too this was in the mind of these young 14 15 year old boys 13 year old boys anyway 14. anyway so um then the same moroccan moroccan walks in on two bashvat into the into the classroom oh he walks in with his gray hat and his gray suit and he says and you this is the ambassador what are you learning so they say messages attracted super saiyan gomorrah so right away and the moroccan happened to be the rebel later who became the rebel and then he said he said a virgin marries on the fourth day two thousand years of the days of mashiach and he says is the the four thousand year the each day of the week corresponds to one 000 years six days of the week and you got two two and two see so what's wednesday wednesday is the fourth of the so when it says a virgin marries on the fourth day of the week this means in the fourth millennium so right away it was almost says that his head was spinning he never heard someone give such an interpretation on a mishna you know what i'm saying that's not the literal meaning and it really you know made an impression on a 14 year old then he says but meshiach didn't come yet so we go into the fifth yes hillel the rabbit said that yeah or who said he's okay yeah zalman's repeating what the rebels said so we go into we go into the we go into the fifth thousandth year which is the the the thursday which is already the first year of this of the last millennia of the last 2000 years new so he should come on during that time he's still not here so we go to friday and friday is the 6 000 year and then gazal tell us he has to come by this and this time and then the rabbit says to the students but it's late it's late on friday afternoon and mashiach is still not here that's what he said i don't know if he finished that there but salma doesn't say more and he and you know he walked away with the the this man has a global vision a global vision that this is not just about creation not just about the giving of the potato not just about mashiach's time it's about bottom line where are you so i say that because this was all on the 15th of of 1938 how many years ago it is from today figure it out 40 to 60 71 73 years ago right 73 years ago on this day says this is what the rebels said in marseille and a little steeple you think about that it's awesome it's a now on one hand you could say well no what's the awesome issue you're still not here we're still on ghosts we know that that we know we don't really want to tell us that it's it's obvious but the positive side of it is that there is a a wholesomeness to this madness there is a structure to the abrister's plan the rabbit didn't say this that time but as i'm talking to you teaching you i'm thinking about it what's the connection between that teaching of the gomorrah in supers that the rebel elaborated on 73 years ago on this day and the day possible and and right does everything that happens to a yid has a purpose the fact the fact that avi got up and went to croc about and got this for him it came back it's not just there's a purpose it doesn't just it's just not it's not just because he needed to save us he had to go to talk about no no he had his drama had to be in for a few hours so some things we understand some things we don't understand so what's the connections about just talking out loud now out loud talking out loud is that the whole idea of mashiach is that a person should also experience godliness and holiness in his delights and his pleasures in his trees and his fruits because if you only experience your godliness and your tater in your wheat in your grain there's a part of you that is dry and boring and not interested and it means that that part of you is not united with hashem and akashbar who wants that every aspect of man include including his trees and his fruits and his pleasures and his delights should be animated with godliness that's the lesson that's the overall lesson from two bishops celebrating the trees the fruits and not just the grain this this nakuda that ever said many times on the fabregas on this day but i'm putting the two together the the story of 1938 and the fact that it happened on tuesday and the message of tuberculot i'm putting them together as a possibility so when you learn see this and you take a taste of what's called in the holy zoya ilana the ghaya the tree of life a tree is here to stay that's what i told you yesterday a bird soars on high but it can be blown away and it could die but a tree you can count on today tomorrow and a hundred years from now when i was in poland last december and i drove towards my mother's birth city and my grandmother's place town village on the way i had the driver stop in you know in these forests that they you know and and unfortunately in many of those fires the nazis killed many jews but i i wanted to actually walk the ground for two for five minutes he stopped on the side of the road and i was able to walk up the little hill and step my foot put my foot on the soil of a forest of a forest and you look at these forests you see trees trees are and they're all next to each other you know why some you know why trees are next to each other because they don't let each other each other fall down when you're together you don't fall down when you're far away from each other you fall down see this is that is the limit of of claudia's role that helps yeden stay together and not fall down in the toughest times and the best times when you stay together and that's what the message of a tuba swat is and when we talk about tuba shrap we talk about the shiva mini seven kinds and they have a video that's on col and other websites and going around which is worth looking at it's a short video this must have been in the 80s in 85 86 one of the years the rivers were bringing and they have a whole platter of fruit next to him and after in between the talks you see him pull take off one one grape but he's not satisfied and he starts he's looking at the at the platter and he says to rabbi eunuch one of his aides is there a fake attainable and and the aid comes running over all you know flabbergasted like i don't know do i vote this that fits here you know they ordered from the store and the red look at his face the rap is so serious he says to aina like i i need to i want to tell you is there a thing that here and and that's the end of the video and i'm thinking about it what is the little barbecue that i've been trying to show you know what what is going on over here we know the shiva meaning thanks right honey when it says erev it's called vag what are we talking about what kind of trash you know not watch from a b flash from no right thanks right so that's what i meant dates today in the dates so whoever makes a big deal about it now yes hello i can't hear you you're mute to ayna's biggs and to to mariam are days right tomorrow but b be it as as it may i'm just pointing it out i don't know the explanation i'm not i mean we could be very simple about it you know he wants more of the shiva mini the nakuda is the shiva mini the seven kinds are not just fruits but they represent and there's many swarms that have many ideas for him about the shiva minim and it brings to mind another thing that's simple but needs when we recite the after brought you know we should again pay attention to the way the rabbit says the brock na first of all he would always open a sitter he wouldn't say it by heart i say it and most people say it by heart whatever wouldn't do that he would say it from a sitter and he would say it word for word and you could see that he's making an after bracha and i'm saying the simple simple the simple lesson for us is to be methazic our saying of brachus you know and and to say articulate every word and to think about the meaning of the words then you're actually giving thanks to our ship so that's something that every one of us at whatever age can can do and should do another another nakuda of this um is that the um the rain the rain the season of the rain has officially stopped although it still might be raining by you i don't know whatever but according to bishne anger mother and it's like the end of rain so what is the what is the avoider of rain and when did we begin rain on miniatures right and um and then we had of course the uh zion hazren rain represents says in hasidis the approach to hashem le milo from below to above right because the rain comes from the clouds right and in other words it's our activity that of coming closer to hashem that activates hashem in a way that he reciprocates but it begins with us that's the avodah of rain what is the avoider of tao do do is lay me outside it never stops it comes every morning a little more a little less uh sometimes you feel it more sometimes you feel less depending on the weather conditions but it represents the avoidance from above to below meaning hashem gives uh without asking and without uh service he just gives what's the difference between the avoided mother and and tao spiritually what is the quality of the connection so when you get something for free yes you've gotten it but there's the quality is lacking because you didn't earn it what's the the virtue of earning something is it's not you won't have as much as if you got from you know got it as a gift but it's earned so now from tuba schwab till pesach is pretty much two months right two months two others uh listen the next two months is in a way like a period because real because right we stopped saying tao we start saying tao when pesach right right so so the vote of tal is pesa but here we say he was still in the in the winter going into the spring and and and uh we're still saying the same paddle mottle but nevertheless we say that as far as the trees are concerned this is rosh hashanah the trees because the rain has stopped somehow i mean the the sea this is brought in in his forum this is not i'm not making that up so i'm asking like what what is what should be our perspective are we in tao or are we a matar and possibly we're still in mutter but now we have kind of the the the towel within the mutter in other words now we're going to emphasize taking this mutter rain that we got until now and making of it using it to the point where we're able to access a greater broker then what our aveda cost our avoider our activity our work earns us a certain amount but once we've done our work the work talks for itself and the work displays itself to hashem and then hashem says oh i see you've worked you know what this analogous to uh jonasson what we learned just now in kuntusamayan a few weeks ago and was repeated yesterday in the gitzer that how much will you get on rosh hashanah remember you get in your storage house in malcolm silas and it's sealed and you'll keep her in the spiritual realm the rebbe says it depends what you did the year before and you remember he spoke about sliches a series remember all that but before that it's is and so there's avoid of the year before and he gave the marshall he brought from the bercentiv the muscle is that how much will i loan you this year to do business depending on what you did the year before with my money and paying it back and all that so if i see that i gave you a loan and you took the initiative to take the loan and make out of it business and stand on your own feet i'm willing to give you more of a loan this upcoming year and maybe that's the idea that now the next two months it's is where we bring to hashem the avoider of mutter that we worked hard from rush from uh smith from that period until now in in the avodah of rain meaning of of of generating the connection with hashem and now that goes to hashem and hashem says okay i want to assess that and infuse you within your avoider the next two months something that is greater than yourself now what does that practically mean like moshe always says what it will asks what does that practic me give me a practical example it means that what you're going to that what we're going to do in the next two months has the potential of being blessed in a way far beyond what we do so whether it's in business whether it's a learning type or whether it's in symphysis whatever it is the the exertion the the result of the exertion will be far greater than the exertion so if you make an investment hashem will bless that investment that the next two months it'll quadruple face in a way that you never dreamt why because you you earned it you earned you earned a certain amount you worked hard you did the avoid of mutter of rain now the rain triggers that hashem says okay this guy is a great guy this this guy someone who works on himself and he's made a difference so i want to really bless him i want to really gift him and that's i'm interesting if my if my thinking is correct it's something that just came to me but if my thinking is correct it's a great opportunity between now because i've never heard anyone do you ever hear anyone speaking about this two months from two bishfa to to to pesach hello do you ever come across that no that's that's a new idea for me yeah it's certainly it's sloshing foreign right right but but i i'm connecting it to but no this is a that's a new idea yeah i i frat tell you the truth i haven't seen it in a safer not that i looked much for it this this uh period but i'm just thinking about how how it has to do with the whole evade of mutter and tao and it comes out it's a two-month period that we we have now to in a way benefit so it's it's it's a great opportunity now it's a great opportunity to be focused on this and to take it in take it in in other words sometimes when hashem gives you the bracha we squander it we don't realize and it's a waste like i told you that purim 1958 fabrian when the rebels you know wanted he said it's an opportunity for a wealth and raise your hands and very few hasidim raised their hands because they were embarrassed to act to show that they want money and the rebbe said afterwards you're a bunch of foolish kasit calling them you're a stupid husset here was a time when you could have gotten a bracha for ashirus which we all need and could use for tadaka and community and because one second you understand because of your hasitish kite you didn't want to raise your hand rebecca said that yes you're innocent no no i know who the people are they were not rich already it's not true yeah and he wasn't he was rich already in 1958 no no i'm not saying he was a pauper but he was he was he didn't have uh at least 5 000 apartments in real estate in brooklyn manhattan sorry he didn't have that then no they were maybe doing business in but um and any anyway even if even if it's true that their wealth went up over the years again you know take it or leave it you know no one can prove this to you just did the fact is there ever said those words at the bringing that that you can hear on on the tapes there's nothing to deny what's the code that when there is an auspicious time on the calendar and in your life don't waste it because that that's the time to make the sale make the investment make the connection that's the day that's the time and you know hasidim don't like talking like that because it's like so but the rabbit said it why because we need panaso and we need wealth and we want to build more you the sky the more yeshivas and more families and all that so you know you're such a sad dick you give away your money to a mystery you know if you're so holy but don't not accept the bracha especially today so i i want to conclude that on this day of uh rajasthan ali is that we should continue learning siddhis and enjoy our learning and toxic and be immersed in our learning and to talk it over with other people and and and you know share share the beautiful message of of having delight and pleasure in something outside and greater than food and sleep and and and and money and all that but something that's real real exciting and and and real important to the growth of a yid anyway trevor have a great shabbos and a great arrest of two bishop and a great rosh hashanah we'll see everyone sunday i'm gonna tell you i didn't get a chance i'll i'll send you tonight at tomorrow blinder uh what mimer i think it's gonna be volume two i'm gonna look in volume two okay so please that my muram will caught him the previous rubber uh volume two i will find a mime right i'd like to see a mimer that's relevant to purim so that we start learning yeah yes abby that that volume yes shalom bye all right jeff sharp is bye bye
