Speaker A:

Ah, Baruch Hashem, speaking about truth.

Speaker A:

Speaking about truth.

Speaker A:

We're speaking about being people of emis, human beings of truth, to connect to the mead of emes.

Speaker A:

And we said that Ennis is coming from three of the names of Kel, Elokim, and Havaya, which means the emes of what those names represent.

Speaker A:

That emes, that truth flowing into the four parts of speech.

Speaker A:

And we said that each of those names represent.

Speaker A:

Kel, represents the powers of prayer that Hashem called us Kel, so to speak, as if you could even say those words.

Speaker A:

But he called us Kel, which means he gave us the power of changing reality through our prayers.

Speaker A:

And therefore never, never make prayer a small thing.

Speaker A:

Gemara says these are the things that stand in the highest heavens.

Speaker A:

But people like, eh, they make fun of it.

Speaker A:

They make it.

Speaker A:

Sheep make it Zol.

Speaker A:

This is davening.

Speaker A:

Davening is the highest, highest thing.

Speaker A:

And we make it like, ah, you know, mincha.

Speaker A:

Oh, I got a daven.

Speaker A:

Mincha.

Speaker A:

Mincha.

Speaker A:

Like I once heard, many people don't want a daven.

Speaker A:

They want to have daven.

Speaker A:

But the power, God forbid, but the power.

Speaker A:

I mean, it's great to have daven, obviously, but we want two Davenport.

Speaker A:

So one of the ways to want to daven is if I know the power of Kel, and I know the power of Kel means that we can change reality through our prayers, and that Hashem gave that godly power into us, and we know the emes, the truth of that, then davening becomes a much more powerful experience.

Speaker A:

He said the next name was Elokim.

Speaker A:

The next name is Eloquim.

Speaker A:

Where do we go to today?

Speaker A:

Colombia.

Speaker A:

Again, back to Mexico.

Speaker A:

Mexico.

Speaker A:

Sparks in Mexico.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker A:

So Elohim, we said, means Torah because Elohim translated as Rav, like a teacher.

Speaker A:

That Moshe Rabbeinu will be the Rav will be the teacher to Aaron, and Aaron Hakon will be the mouthpiece.

Speaker A:

And it's the emes of knowing that when you have Torah, you have guidance.

Speaker A:

The truth of that.

Speaker A:

You're not all verblanget.

Speaker A:

You know what that means?

Speaker A:

Verblanger means verblanget.

Speaker A:

It means you've lost your way.

Speaker A:

You've lost your way.

Speaker A:

Walk around, go around the streets.

Speaker A:

Go around Times Square.

Speaker A:

You know, maybe.

Speaker A:

I'm hoping the billboards there have Daf Yumi playing.

Speaker A:

I think it's a great PR for Daf Yumi.

Speaker A:

Somebody said that you can buy an ad there.

Speaker A:

I think my dad once bought an ad there.

Speaker A:

How much did this?

Speaker A:

And how much was It.

Speaker A:

Somebody told me it was like a million dollars.

Speaker A:

Like a million.

Speaker A:

That's like nothing to buy an ad.

Speaker A:

He's like, no, that's one time for the ad to be there.

Speaker A:

I was thinking, like a million dollars for Daf Yomi.

Speaker A:

You'd just be playing there all the time is nothing.

Speaker A:

And then they said, no, that was like, for a day or something.

Speaker A:

Okay, so we need to put our money in the right places.

Speaker A:

If we had Daf Yomi up there.

Speaker A:

Do you imagine Shiurim just popping on those screens?

Speaker A:

Can you imagine Rabbi Dove Bear just popping on those screens?

Speaker A:

Yuvalvik to provide guidance.

Speaker A:

So Elokim, which is rav, which means to teach, means to guide.

Speaker A:

And the truth of knowing that my life is guided through Torah.

Speaker A:

And then we said, yudkei vav kei is shiduchim.

Speaker A:

And the posse says, me hashem yatsa daver.

Speaker A:

This came from the Lord that Hashem brought, the shidduch that ne Hashem, ne yudkei vav kei yatsa adava that even Levin and B'sua recognize that from Hashem is this shidduch, the Shidduch of Rivkah and Yitzchak.

Speaker A:

And then we explain that every single thing that Hashem is bringing us in our life is a shidduch.

Speaker A:

When you meet a person on the street, when you see somebody, Hashem is making shidduchem all the time.

Speaker A:

And to know that there's an emes of why you're meeting this person at this time and this place.

Speaker A:

Me hashem me'yudkei vav kei yotza hadar.

Speaker A:

So he said, that's the emes of shiduchim, that Hashem is organizing your life, and things don't become bidiyevit anymore.

Speaker A:

Like, oh, why did I have to meet that guy there?

Speaker A:

He always gets on my nerves.

Speaker A:

Well, you know what?

Speaker A:

That was ideal.

Speaker A:

And he could teach you something, you could teach him something.

Speaker A:

We could help each other.

Speaker A:

There's something there to teach you.

Speaker A:

Me hashem yudkei vav kei yotza ha'adava.

Speaker A:

So he said, truth is shining through these three names of g d into the four elements of speech.

Speaker A:

And now we're about to go into oish.

Speaker A:

Hey.

Speaker A:

And we're about to say that the real completion of speech, which we also said comes from boy meets girl, because the na'shem got Tisha cabin of speech, and the men got Maisar 1.

Speaker A:

And it's still not shalem.

Speaker A:

You have to put it together that nine plus one equals 10 out of 10.

Speaker A:

And that's the shleness of the dibur.

Speaker A:

That's the emes of the dibur.

Speaker A:

So now we're going to say that really the full shleness of the dibu is through.

Speaker A:

Through Hebrew.

Speaker A:

We said this doesn't mean modern Hebrew.

Speaker A:

This means.

Speaker A:

And there's some of Harishan that say that Lashan Kish doesn't even mean Hebrew letters, but it means any speech that is holy, which could be in Lashan laz.

Speaker A:

But it means you're speaking the very Torah you're giving people.

Speaker A:

Chizik, you're not speaking stam.

Speaker A:

Your speech is used to build the world.

Speaker A:

The simple pshat, though, in Urbanu is lushen code.

Speaker A:

This means Hebrew.

Speaker A:

And we need a bit of a hakdama nice after of Kivak Shlita the great of Kivakima's Rebbe, essentially, which in Breslov and many what do we know about tzadikim and their relationships?

Speaker A:

But Ruf Kivak in his Shiur mantinyana bays.

Speaker A:

So he felt that in order to understand the section, you have to kind of go into a whole background of why Lashnan Kardish is special.

Speaker A:

So he brings things there which are really found very explicitly in the second book of the Tanya Shar Yiched v'amuna, where he quotes from the BAAL Shem, which is really from the Medjush Rishala oylum Hashem devarach hanitza b'shemayim that always Hashem, your words are in the heavens.

Speaker A:

Nitze of b'shemayim are standing in the heavens.

Speaker A:

Simple pshat is when Hashem decrees something that is standing in the heavens, it's as if to say that that will be as solid as God is.

Speaker A:

That very idea will continue, will have continuity.

Speaker A:

If God says a decree, it will continue.

Speaker A:

The good decrees, you know that it's like in the bank, like they say, you know, nowadays I don't know how safe that is.

Speaker A:

It's in the bank.

Speaker A:

Okay, anyways.

Speaker A:

But let's say that it's what they used to call in the bank.

Speaker A:

Maybe you'd say nowadays it's in your pocket a little bit better in your pocket.

Speaker A:

So when Hashem says his word, it's nitzaba shamayim.

Speaker A:

This is going to go on forever.

Speaker A:

But the Medjush and the BAAL Shem Tov expanded on this.

Speaker A:

And the Balitania really explodes this idea where he says, slow down.

Speaker A:

The posse from King David le Oylim forever Devaracha Hashem, your words, Nitzav, are standing up.

Speaker A:

Shamayim, your words are actually what is keeping Shemayim going is powering Shamayim.

Speaker A:

There would be no such thing as a heavens if God wasn't constantly powering the heavens through speaking it into reality.

Speaker A:

And how does he speak it into reality?

Speaker A:

Through the 22 Hebrew letters that Hashem, you are standing up.

Speaker A:

The heavens, your words are standing up.

Speaker A:

They're keeping the heavens moving.

Speaker A:

And speech, we know means.

Speaker A:

What do you mean God speaks?

Speaker A:

Like the way we speak.

Speaker A:

It means that just like when we speak, we take that which is hidden inside of us and we reveal it to the outside, to another.

Speaker A:

If I want to get to know Yaakov.

Speaker A:

So we have to talk.

Speaker A:

We have to speak.

Speaker A:

I share things from my inner world that are concealed to him until I say it.

Speaker A:

And you share things from your inner world with me.

Speaker A:

And the deeper the conversation is, the deeper you're drawing from your inner world.

Speaker A:

And you're using speech to do that.

Speaker A:

You're speaking things out and you're really expressing things that are only known to you, that are within you, and you're allowing that to be shared with another.

Speaker A:

So when we say that Hashem spoke and the world is being created through God's speech, what we're saying is that the world, so to speak, is inside of God.

Speaker A:

Everything is inside of God.

Speaker A:

There's nothing but God.

Speaker A:

The act of speech is now the sharing with the creation, with God.

Speaker A:

It happens at the same time.

Speaker A:

It's being revealed and created at the same time.

Speaker A:

That which was only within is now coming outwards.

Speaker A:

You wouldn't have to speak if you're just on a deserted island with nobody there.

Speaker A:

You speak because you want to share with other.

Speaker A:

So speech becomes relevant as G D is creating and drawing from the inside, so to speak, to now express outward to the creation.

Speaker A:

And that is happening.

Speaker A:

The mechanism that that's happening through is the 22 Hebrew letters.

Speaker A:

That's the speech.

Speaker A:

So remember, like when Neo goes like loco at like the end of the Matrix, he just starts seeing all the things, start seeing the code.

Speaker A:

So it was pretty good.

Speaker A:

But it's really Hebrew letters.

Speaker A:

That's the code that they saw.

Speaker A:

And really this is where quantum physics is getting is they're understanding that matter is just information.

Speaker A:

It's information.

Speaker A:

And there's more empty space in the cellular matrix than solid space, which is just.

Speaker A:

That's a bug out, really.

Speaker A:

Like this seems pretty solid, you know, if you ask me, excuse me, this is more empty space.

Speaker A:

Yeah, Our perspective has been made nitgashem, which means very physically oriented.

Speaker A:

But really this is more empty space than space.

Speaker A:

And in the empty space, the idea is that it's all information.

Speaker A:

It's information that's generating the space.

Speaker A:

It's generating everything.

Speaker A:

It's information, and it's really words and language.

Speaker A:

Okay, so that's all the introduction to this point.

Speaker A:

So says the Rebbe, it's through Lashana, Kodesh, Kikola, Shaina, Sean, and Hein Chaserin, we speak about all the other languages that were flowing from Lashon Hakodesh.

Speaker A:

So if you open up the Torah, you see that by Migdal Bovel, the Tower of Babylon.

Speaker A:

So it says at that time that everybody was unified with Safai has that everybody spoke one language.

Speaker A:

Rashi says afterwards, we know that they were rebelling against God.

Speaker A:

And G D made a problem where he mixed up the languages, and people started fighting with each other because they couldn't understand, they couldn't communicate.

Speaker A:

And the world split to 70 languages after that.

Speaker A:

So from Migdal Bovel, there's one language and then there's a spirit split to 70 languages.

Speaker A:

They don't have that same level of purity as the language that G D is creating the world with.

Speaker A:

Ki, Nikroim, Loshen, Ilgin, they're called a language of, like, stammering.

Speaker A:

Stammering means it's not quite a hundred percent clear, like, when someone's communicating, but they're not able to articulate the very points they want to say.

Speaker A:

They kind of stammer a little bit or stutter.

Speaker A:

There's, like, a lack of full crystal clarity in the concept.

Speaker A:

When Audemarishin was naming all the animals, he named them in Hebrew, and he called the animal what it is in its essence.

Speaker A:

That's a very powerful thing.

Speaker A:

He's calling the thing what it is.

Speaker A:

So every other description.

Speaker A:

So if I say a lion, it's very nice, but that's not as articulate as an aryeh.

Speaker A:

An aryeh is the thing.

Speaker A:

This is what this is, which means the Aleph and the Reish and the Yud and the hey.

Speaker A:

This literally is what's happening here.

Speaker A:

If I understood the secrets, I would know that those letters, put together in that fashion, are creating this, which is a being of gevurah and power and everything that the Arya represents.

Speaker A:

When I say lion, it's descriptive of it, but it's not it.

Speaker A:

It's not the thing itself.

Speaker A:

So Loshen Kodesh becomes the thing itself, and all the other languages become.

Speaker A:

And we're speaking English right now, all the other languages become less precise.

Speaker A:

The ain shlemess racked Lashana Kodesh.

Speaker A:

So now he takes a move.

Speaker A:

If Yaakov was here, we'd say he takes a move.

Speaker A:

He's about to make a move.

Speaker A:

And Lashna Kodesh is connected to Shabbos Kodesh.

Speaker A:

So this is some of the things we're learning about Ravnasim.

Speaker A:

And this is.

Speaker A:

We're all going to see everything kind of tying in together the bechinis vedaber davi.

Speaker A:

You know, it says that the navi says you're not allowed to do certain things on Shabbos that you do during the weekdays.

Speaker A:

So it says shaloyehei diburuchoshel.

Speaker A:

Shabbos ka diburuchoshelchol.

Speaker A:

That the way that you speak on Shabbos should be different than the way that you speak during the week.

Speaker A:

So I'm just reading from the posse im toshe me Shabbos raglecheh, right?

Speaker A:

If you refrain on Shabbos from doing the normal things that you do, from walking in the way that you walk, and you honor it.

Speaker A:

Masayist.

Speaker A:

It's from doing your drachem, from doing the things that you want to do, Meaning to say the stuff that's without g D.

Speaker A:

I gotta make these stock trades.

Speaker A:

And you need to think about hashem one second.

Speaker A:

So refrain from doing anything that's totally God absent and from speaking words that are just words of weekday matters.

Speaker A:

Okay?

Speaker A:

That's what the navi says.

Speaker A:

Isn't that amazing that on Shabbos that you get to a consciousness where you speak differently, you walk differently, you think differently, you do different things.

Speaker A:

Yeah, Adam.

Speaker A:

It's always a kiss.

Speaker A:

Now, by the way, this is also brought down in the Mishnah Baruch, in the Elia Rabba.

Speaker A:

If you look at the Nishibura or chayim Simon shinzayin Sif kotenhei and the Elia Rabba that he brings here, Anshemaisen is haram Bey Semiz, people that are anshemaisa shaloy la daber b'shabaz Afila devaram hayach Reichem kiim beloshenach.

Speaker A:

So he mentioned this yesterday.

Speaker A:

I wouldn't do this to family members.

Speaker A:

I only anirab in the bevrit.

Speaker A:

Rachel, I don't understand what you're saying, son.

Speaker A:

Like, come back.

Speaker A:

What's become of you?

Speaker A:

So even though.

Speaker A:

But I want to be an shemaisa of the righteous ones.

Speaker A:

You have to Know how to be righteous and not a fool at the same time.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

But it's a powerful thing that you see even in halacha, that this is becoming gapaskan, that this is.

Speaker A:

Whenever you see something in halakha, you have to see, understand that there's many layers of depth to that concept.

Speaker A:

So in this case, we see something in halacha of speaking Hebrew and Shabbos Lasht and Kodesh vocab, not modern Hebrew, Lashan kaydish.

Speaker A:

Now, Rabnach is telling you what's really going on, because lash and Kodesh is connected to Shabbos.

Speaker A:

It's deeply connected in Lashin.

Speaker A:

Kadesh is connected to Emes and is connected to the three Shemas.

Speaker A:

And you start seeing, oh, that's why the halacha indicated such.

Speaker A:

When you learn hasidus, you see the whole backstory of what's going on.

Speaker A:

The bechinas koy sivarachu.

Speaker A:

Now, this is amazing.

Speaker A:

Koy sivarachu.

Speaker A:

He's about to bring a beautiful, beautiful Rabnachim weaving together all of Torah.

Speaker A:

Because lashon ha Kodesh is the language of blessing.

Speaker A:

We explain that.

Speaker A:

Is there any greater blessing than creating a world?

Speaker A:

That's a pretty big blessing, right?

Speaker A:

That we're alive, that we're created.

Speaker A:

That's a very big blessing.

Speaker A:

So Lashon Kodesh is attached to blessing, and he brings an amazing proof from this.

Speaker A:

He's quoting from the Gemara and Sota.

Speaker A:

So the Gemaran Sota says there's certain things that you're allowed to say in any language you want.

Speaker A:

And there's certain things that have to be said in lashon Hakodesh, which is fascinating.

Speaker A:

Can you daven in any language?

Speaker A:

Yeah, Espodidus for sure.

Speaker A:

Learned the whole piece on espodidus that even ideal should be in Yiddish or in English, whatever you speak.

Speaker A:

Ideally, that you can share things from your heart, that you can.

Speaker A:

You can express what you're feeling, but there's certain things that have to be dafken, Lash and Kadesh.

Speaker A:

And the Gemara says one of them is birkus kahanim, that the Kahannaman.

Speaker A:

I'm not allowed to say you shall be blessed.

Speaker A:

From Hashem he will guard you.

Speaker A:

Can't do that.

Speaker A:

Not allowed to.

Speaker A:

It's a din so koi Sevarachu koi.

Speaker A:

This is how you shall bless.

Speaker A:

Meaning the way that it says in the positive.

Speaker A:

Because in lashon Hakodesh, it's the essence of bracha and kedusha and birkos.

Speaker A:

Kahanem is this stream of blessing coming into the world.

Speaker A:

Yevarechacha is Parnassah, the yishmarecha, the protector from the bad guys.

Speaker A:

That's what it is.

Speaker A:

Yo'er and so forth.

Speaker A:

Yisa, that has to be in Lashin Kodesh, because lashan Kodesh is bracha and lashan kodesh is kedusha.

Speaker A:

It's kedusha kiba lashana kodesh, mekusha la shabaz.

Speaker A:

And Lashana kodesh is connected to Shabbos.

Speaker A:

And what's Shabbos?

Speaker A:

Brach and kedusha.

Speaker A:

Because what do we say?

Speaker A:

Shnem rambai bracho kadusha kamaisha kosov vayevarach elohim is yemeshvi vayekadesh.

Speaker A:

Say it in kiddush.

Speaker A:

You say this kiddush.

Speaker A:

So you see that Shabbos has barucha and kedusha.

Speaker A:

Lashan Kodesh is bracha and kedusha.

Speaker A:

Yeah, so far, so good.

Speaker A:

So he's just tying in here together.

Speaker A:

The Shabbos is connected to lashon hakodesh connected to bracha.

Speaker A:

And this is going to be the way that we're bringing down the energy from the three names of G D into all of our speech, which obviously we see here that one of the ways to tap into being a person of true speech is going to be Shabbos.

Speaker A:

Vaal came and therefore aladesha losh nakodesh mekusha le shabbos al kayn alide shleimas ha dibur through complete speech, that is, the names of Kel, Elokim and Avaya are shining into my four parts of speech.

Speaker A:

Shubachinhas, lashanakodesh, ali veze mam shikhana simcha shel shabbos leshesha semeachol.

Speaker A:

Okay, he's making another move now.

Speaker A:

Now the move is.

Speaker A:

And this is really starting, what we're doing in Ravnasim is I don't want to just have Shabbos end when I make havdala.

Speaker A:

Because you know what?

Speaker A:

The days of the week are hard.

Speaker A:

The days of the week are not easy.

Speaker A:

The days of the week are not easy.

Speaker A:

In a certain way, being in yeshiva is like just being in Shabbos.

Speaker A:

It's like the Shabbos of our life.

Speaker A:

But the days of the week are not easy.

Speaker A:

Speak to people out there that are.

Speaker A:

And we all have this obviously, even here, but people that are in the days of the week type of life.

Speaker A:

It's a real hustle.

Speaker A:

It's a real.

Speaker A:

That's like a nice way to say it.

Speaker A:

There's challenges.

Speaker A:

It's not easy.

Speaker A:

It's not Pasha and even those that have shabbos, but after Havdala, there's like, they used to call it the smoker's minion.

Speaker A:

Like the 18 minute, you know, like Mairav.

Speaker A:

So I think it's like, nowadays they call it, like, you know, the social media minion.

Speaker A:

Like, it's just, I gotta get back.

Speaker A:

I gotta get back on my Facebook.

Speaker A:

I gotta check the Instagram.

Speaker A:

I gotta see, like, what's going on.

Speaker A:

I have to see, like, what is that?

Speaker A:

I can't.

Speaker A:

I like, so that's the days of the week.

Speaker A:

The days of the week are like, drawing and some of the worst words ever that I think creeped into the.

Speaker A:

Into the vernacular of a human being could be forwards.

Speaker A:

Is Shabbos over yet?

Speaker A:

Now, I don't mean, like, there's some very important malacha that has to be done.

Speaker A:

Like, we're not talking about that.

Speaker A:

Talking about, like, is it over yet?

Speaker A:

Like, that's the niggin.

Speaker A:

Hear the niggin of like, is it over yet?

Speaker A:

Because I have an important malachah to do it.

Speaker A:

Is it over yet?

Speaker A:

You hear the niggin.

Speaker A:

It's a different niggin entirely.

Speaker A:

That's the niggin of.

Speaker A:

I just got to get back to the days of the week, those days of the week, and therefore the or of Shabbos, this blessing of Shabbos, the unity of Shabbos, is like having a hard time pushing into the week.

Speaker A:

And during the week, people get confused and lost in something that we're going to learn about a lot called the puulus mishtanes, okay?

Speaker A:

The pulis, you got to have that on the tips of your tongue.

Speaker A:

The puulus mishtanas.

Speaker A:

So just remember this language.

Speaker A:

The pu'ulus mishtanas.

Speaker A:

The pulus mishtanas mean all of the.

Speaker A:

All this world.

Speaker A:

Pu'ulot means all the actions and everything.

Speaker A:

Mishtanas, the unique things of this world, the colorful world around us, the very interesting parts and the great multiplicity.

Speaker A:

This world that gets us lost.

Speaker A:

That gets us lost.

Speaker A:

The pulus mishtanes of this world, the pool of mishtanas of this world, are challenging not to lose oneself in it.

Speaker A:

You see people who are working, like, you know, I'm saying, like, what most people are doing, sitting in an office somewhere, you know, on the phone, making calls, and they're stressed out.

Speaker A:

Where do you think happy hour came from?

Speaker A:

People are just bugging out in the Pu'ulis Mishtanas in the six days of the week, in the weekday of life.

Speaker A:

And they're just money things and bills, and they're just like, I'm drowning in work.

Speaker A:

That's the shet of maim rabim.

Speaker A:

That's the mabbel.

Speaker A:

We're going to talk about noach coming up soon, that which saves us from the bilbul and the flood of this world.

Speaker A:

But the six days of the week, that world of the six days of the week, of the sheishas, Yamim tasse kom alachtecha.

Speaker A:

That's a very difficult world, and we lose ourself in it.

Speaker A:

And it's a depressing world if we don't bring the light of Shabbos into it.

Speaker A:

But if we can bring the light of Shabbos and the pleasure of Shabbos into the six days, then not only is the six days not bad, the six days is unbelievable because you realize there's no bediyevin.

Speaker A:

And then we can reveal hashem in every single part of the Pu'ulu's mishtanis.

Speaker A:

And this is really the tikkun of the Eitzed Toyvorah.

Speaker A:

I want to fix the Eitzed Toyvara.

Speaker A:

What do you think?

Speaker A:

We're here just to live in Eitz Chaim land.

Speaker A:

We have to go fix the Eitzed.

Speaker A:

A lot of work to do.

Speaker A:

We have to bring those Shabbos into the week, into the Pu'ulitz mishtanas.

Speaker A:

So this is what the Rebbe says, that through Shabbos Kodesh, and through Lashan Kodesh, and through the sheamus of Kel Elokim Havaya, we could bring the energy.

Speaker A:

This is a whole technology.

Speaker A:

We can bring the energy of brach and kedusha into the six days of the week.

Speaker A:

Al adezimam shichan as simcha shel shabbos leshesh demeacho.

Speaker A:

So look at the Rebbe says, kiyemeachol heym yem bechinas atzvas.

Speaker A:

The days of the week have a level of.

Speaker A:

We don't like this word, the D word, depression.

Speaker A:

That's a red line.

Speaker A:

We don't cross that line.

Speaker A:

As a Jew, you can have a broken heart.

Speaker A:

Like the Kotzko Rabbe said, there's nothing more whole than a broken heart.

Speaker A:

There's nothing more whole than a broken heart.

Speaker A:

Because you know when it's broken a bit, you can start feeling.

Speaker A:

It's like, ah, it's like, oh, that heart Starts oozing out love that heart.

Speaker A:

Love that.

Speaker A:

The bad thing is when it's not broken, it's all like stone and.

Speaker A:

And, like, locked up.

Speaker A:

Gotta break that stone a bit.

Speaker A:

Chisel it away, Open that up.

Speaker A:

Oh, that heart vibe.

Speaker A:

Oh, finally.

Speaker A:

That heart can just, like, vibe, you know, it's been so, like, stony.

Speaker A:

I haven't been vibing with it for just years.

Speaker A:

Some people, you can feel it, and they'll say, like, I have not vibed with my heart.

Speaker A:

I don't even know what that means to vibe with my heart.

Speaker A:

It's like, locked up.

Speaker A:

Sometimes it's hard to hug.

Speaker A:

It's like, I'm not vibing.

Speaker A:

I don't know what even that word means.

Speaker A:

This is all just awkward.

Speaker A:

So you gotta crack the heart open, start vibing.

Speaker A:

I sound like a hippie right now.

Speaker A:

I know there's a lot of hippie in here.

Speaker A:

A lot of hippie.

Speaker A:

The heart, when the heart can open up.

Speaker A:

So when the heart can open up in a healthy way, then that's not called depression.

Speaker A:

That's called a beautiful thing.

Speaker A:

That's called shvira salev.

Speaker A:

But the days of the week are challenging.

Speaker A:

Now he's going to tell us something in Kabbalah.

Speaker A:

So you have to speak to the Tzadikim to see what this means.

Speaker A:

It says even the mitzvahs we do during the week are very challenging and in a certain, very deep way.

Speaker A:

The mitzvahs during the week only come to hashem, so to speak, on Shabbos.

Speaker A:

They get an aliyah on Shabbos, meaning the experience of the mitzvahs throughout the entire week.

Speaker A:

As good as your mincha was, as good as your tefillin is, there's something that is still locked up.

Speaker A:

And when Shabbos comes, the experience and the closeness with you and G D opens up from those weekday experiences.

Speaker A:

That tefillin from your Wednesday morning is now opening up on Shabbos.

Speaker A:

And he's going to explain a little bit how this works.

Speaker A:

Now, what we're describing here, there's nothing physical.

Speaker A:

This is all conceptual.

Speaker A:

So don't come to any hagshama, God forbid, and think that there's people up there in heaven.

Speaker A:

This is all conceptual.

Speaker A:

So he brings something.

Speaker A:

In Kabbalah, you have to talk to the Tzadikim Kimatat.

Speaker A:

There's an angel called Matat.

Speaker A:

I think he was a transformer also.

Speaker A:

He was the top guy.

Speaker A:

Was he?

Speaker A:

So Lahavdil, Elif, Alpha, Abdullah.

Speaker A:

So Mitat is the top.

Speaker A:

He's the top angel and he's called Shaltanui.

Speaker A:

He's the.

Speaker A:

He's the sholet.

Speaker A:

He's like the boss up there.

Speaker A:

He's only the boss of the gates during the weekdays.

Speaker A:

Mtat now, if somebody's the boss up there of the gates, they can keep the gates locked.

Speaker A:

So they're the boss.

Speaker A:

But we want to be able to open the gates to go to the king.

Speaker A:

We don't want the gates to be locked.

Speaker A:

Now it's good.

Speaker A:

Sometimes you have to keep the riff raff out.

Speaker A:

So it's good having the gates locked.

Speaker A:

And it needs to be, you know, Yankee guarding the Rebbe Shemayer to make sure that everything stays in a seder.

Speaker A:

So you need someone guarding the gates.

Speaker A:

You always need someone guarding the gates.

Speaker A:

U metat tu bechinaz evid.

Speaker A:

The metat though this angel is like an evid.

Speaker A:

He's an evid bechinas atsfus.

Speaker A:

And there's an element of atsvos of an evid.

Speaker A:

He's doing what the king says faithfully, but the relationship is still distant.

Speaker A:

He's not a son, son of the king, he's not a prince, he's an evad.

Speaker A:

He's the top Evad, he's a minister, he's the top.

Speaker A:

But there's an element of distance in the relationship.

Speaker A:

So he runs the gates.

Speaker A:

During the days of the week, however, Shabbos, who Bechin has been Shabbos, our relationship with Hashem is not as an evident to a Melech, it's as a Ben, a son to a father, which is avinu balkeinu.

Speaker A:

It's the same.

Speaker A:

But during the week the relationship is more towards a king and Evid, like Metat.

Speaker A:

Whereas on Shabbos it's like a Ben.

Speaker A:

And the Ben could just walk through Yankee, he could just walk right in.

Speaker A:

He doesn't have to wait for nobody guards the doors from the bench.

Speaker A:

The Ben could just walk right in.

Speaker A:

The Ben can just walk right in as naichel le eloyin v'tatoyin that in Shabbos there's peace in all the worlds above and below.

Speaker A:

Then it's o Ras Simcha.

Speaker A:

Because of such peace, then Simcha gets aroused.

Speaker A:

The azayinis Roy min v'nis alen Kolamitz shoshesh le meacho mena'atsus because it's such a happiness up there in Shemayim.

Speaker A:

On Shabbos there's peace.

Speaker A:

So the gates get opened and all the bracha comes in.

Speaker A:

Basically the way we understand in my small understanding of these Torahs is that during the week some atat is guarding the gates, but the king wants a relationship with us.

Speaker A:

But Matat has to just do his job and keep things closed up.

Speaker A:

But on Shabbos, the king himself walks out and he opens up the gate so Matat doesn't stand in the way and the king himself comes up.

Speaker A:

So now the gate is open and all of the energy just flows in tatati.

Speaker A:

That's Shabbos.

Speaker A:

That's Shabbos.

Speaker A:

And therefore, and this is all the energy of Noyach.

Speaker A:

The Zohar says that Noyach is Shabbos, that's Menucha is Noyach, that's Mama Shabbos.

Speaker A:

And it says that when Noach was born, it says that this one will give us Nechama, this one will make us at peace and from our depression, our itzel, that this one, this Noach, which is really Shabbos, that Noyach will bring us to a place of peace, that we're not going to be lost in the six days of the week anymore.

Speaker A:

This is about leaving the six days of the week.

Speaker A:

Zebekin Hashabas, shebachinis ben bechnas, Noyach, which is noyach.

Speaker A:

Naicha, dele, eloin, vetatoin, shahume, nachem.

Speaker A:

This one will bring us Nachama.

Speaker A:

This one will bring us Nechama.

Speaker A:

So let's just finish this piece in Tovav when we can get to Lashon Hakodeshabis, which is, like we said, Shabbos.

Speaker A:

Shabbos is lashana Kodesh.

Speaker A:

Shabbos is unified.

Speaker A:

Shabbos is Kodesh.

Speaker A:

Shabbos is bracha, kihima, korabracha, Lashon hakodesh, that which can only come in lashon hakodesh, which is bracha, which is yavarechecha, which is the whole creation of the world, which is the greatest bracha?

Speaker A:

Oylam chesed Yibonet through the 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, the Kishevach, which is connected to Shabbos as a mamshich and al Yaday through the lashon hakodesh.

Speaker A:

Then you bring the kedusha and the simcha of Shabbos, Lesheshu semeachol, meaning what we want to do on Shabbos, we want to take the energy of Shabbos and start to be mashpia into the week, the unity, the bracha of Shabbos.

Speaker A:

We want it not to end at Havdala.

Speaker A:

We want it to spill into the week.

Speaker A:

That's why the Tzadikah made a big, big thing of malava malka.

Speaker A:

And they made a big thing of making their shalashur.

Speaker A:

This is go in to the days of the week.

Speaker A:

Toysefesh Shabbos, the toisefismruba ala Ikar, the toisefes, the adding on, which is the power of Yosef at Saadiq, which is Yosef at Tzadik, is the one that's going to take on Esav, which is interesting.

Speaker A:

And they were only able to leave the beis lavan once Yosef was born.

Speaker A:

Once Yosef is born and mature, Yosef is now going to be the koyach.

Speaker A:

That could take on Esav, that could take on the sheisha seme hamaisa.

Speaker A:

Only through the Shalashuddas, which is called.

Speaker A:

Which is called adding on to Shabbos.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

What's the first meal of Shabbos?

Speaker A:

Friday night.

Speaker A:

It's really connected.

Speaker A:

Yitzchak.

Speaker A:

The morning meal is Avraham.

Speaker A:

Shalashidas is Yaakov.

Speaker A:

So where's Yosef?

Speaker A:

Yosef is adding on to Shalashuddis.

Speaker A:

Yosef means to be Mosif, to add on, to make long shell of shudases.

Speaker A:

And then who comes after Yosef?

Speaker A:

Dovid Malach.

Speaker A:

Dovid Malach.

Speaker A:

He then Mamish.

Speaker A:

When it's Mamish, Dark Dovid, Amalek takes his sword and slays the dragon.

Speaker A:

Boys, slay the dragon.

Speaker A:

That's David Amelech.

Speaker A:

The David Amelach is getting his koyach from Yosef.

Speaker A:

That's Moshiach ben Yosef and Mesheb ben David.

Speaker A:

Moshe ben Yosef is adding on to Shalashiddis.

Speaker A:

And that qoyach is paving the way, going into the darkness, expanding from Shabbos.

Speaker A:

But then the one who's in the six days, that's Misha ben David.

Speaker A:

That's Milava, Malcolm.

Speaker A:

That's why those two sudas, which are usually the ones that get the least PR with the chevre fatinai, you know, kiddush.

Speaker A:

I mean.

Speaker A:

I mean, kiddush club stuff.

Speaker A:

Who does Shalashudas?

Speaker A:

A bunch of, you know, guys.

Speaker A:

And I don't know, I don't even want to say slides and T shirt and shorts or something.

Speaker A:

Where's the tzitzis, bro?

Speaker A:

Where's your tzitzis?

Speaker A:

No shall shuddhis.

Speaker A:

Shal Shala.

Speaker A:

Yeah, Shaleshudis.

Speaker A:

It's going to save the world.

Speaker A:

Shalashuddish.

Speaker A:

That's the aura of Yosev.

Speaker A:

Tzadik it's going into the weak.

Speaker A:

That's Yosef at tzadik.

Speaker A:

It's going to take on Olive Eisav and Dovid Amelach.

Speaker A:

Dov malka.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

Shadash.

Speaker A:

I mean, Malav Malka.

Speaker A:

Like pizza with the girls.

Speaker A:

Girls.

Speaker A:

I always mean your wife and daughters.

Speaker A:

The girls.

Speaker A:

Pizza's great.

Speaker A:

Hot, Hot food.

Speaker A:

Malav Malka choshavding.

Speaker A:

Yeah, Adam.

Speaker A:

That's right.

Speaker A:

It's Malav.

Speaker A:

I'm escorting the bride out.

Speaker A:

I'm escorting out the bride.

Speaker A:

That is the female energy that you want to be connected to.

Speaker A:

Love Amalk.

Speaker A:

That's right.

Speaker A:

So what do we say today, my dear friends?

Speaker A:

And we'll just finish this innyin because we're going to go into this big, big topic of taking Shabbos into the week.

Speaker A:

Taking Shabbos into the week is going to be a very big topic for us.

Speaker A:

So the Rebbe just finishes here.

Speaker A:

Shumakusha le Shabbos azamam shikha na l yodoi asa kedusha vas simcha shil Shabbos leshesha meacho kimat m.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Nimshach al yodoya simcha.

Speaker A:

Shal shab is the shet.

Speaker A:

And these three shemus that have the or of emes, Kel Elokim Havaya d bear they.

Speaker A:

What's the gematria?

Speaker A:

349 immatvus 353 is mispar simcha that these three names havaya with the letters, the words themselves.

Speaker A:

This itself is the simcha.

Speaker A:

The simcha of Shabbos kodesh.

Speaker A:

The simcha of the em is the truth of Shabbos that you want to shine into the week.

Speaker A:

We're going to bring the simcha into the week.

Speaker A:

So what did we say so far today?

Speaker A:

We said that through the emes to be people of truth.

Speaker A:

That through Kel Elokim and Havayah, these are the names of truth.

Speaker A:

And these correspond.

Speaker A:

Kel corresponds to davening and Lakim is Torah.

Speaker A:

To know that the em is of Torah, that Torah is going to guide my life and anything that's going on in my life, any challenge that I am facing, I could find guidance and truth through the Torah.

Speaker A:

And that I know that shidduchim is emis, that Hashem is organizing.

Speaker A:

He's mishadich.

Speaker A:

And being Mezavik Zivugim, he's organizing every single thing.

Speaker A:

And that's emes.

Speaker A:

And I know the truth of that.

Speaker A:

And I become less of an upset person because I see that Hashem is organizing all the relationships and that's all emis.

Speaker A:

And that truth is shining into all of my speech, that my speech is filled with truth.

Speaker A:

And we said that the most articulate essence of speech is lashan Kodesh, that Hashem is creating the whole world with lash and Kodesh.

Speaker A:

It's the fabric of creation and therefore want to tap into the bracha of Lashon Hakodesh and the kiddush of lashon Hakodesh.

Speaker A:

We said that's the essence of Shabbos.

Speaker A:

That some people would only speak lashon Hakodesh on Shabbos.

Speaker A:

And that if I can tap into the or of Shabbos and the simcha and the blessing and the goodness and the love and the passion of Shabbos Kodesh, then as we're going to see, I don't get lost in the six days of the week.

Speaker A:

I'm bringing that or into the six days of the week that the whole week is like Shabbos.

Speaker A:

Tekayim rishem b'shabbos yem shein v'shabbos Shabbos.

Speaker A:

That my whole life becomes like Shabbos.

Speaker A:

And that I don't lose myself in the Pu'ulu Shetanas.

Speaker A:

I don't lose myself in Times Square with all the billboards that are not yet daf ymi yet besiata the Shemayim we're looking for donors.

Speaker A:

And b'yet Shemayim, we're going to learn a very, very big piece here all about making your week.

Speaker A:

Not a week that you get lost in, not a week that you get depressed in, but a week that you get rejuvenated from a week that you become electrified from that.

Speaker A:

The week that's filled with the passion and the aur of Shabbos and the simcha v Shabbos, that you're no longer fooled by the lies of the six days of the week.

Speaker A:

And you're not afraid of the six days of the week either, that you go in with confidence into the six days of the week because you have Yosef at Saadiq by your side.

Speaker A:

You have David Hamelech Mamish fighting the dragons with you.

Speaker A:

You have the ore of Shabbos Kodesh.

Speaker A:

So we're going to be learning about fighting dragons and slaying dragons together.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it's all here in the Torah.

Speaker A:

They got it all from us.

Speaker A:

We're going to learn about going into the six days of the week B'siyat deshmay with the or of David Hamelech with the or of Shabbos Kodesh to know how to navigate these days of the week.

Speaker A:

Because Hashem understands.

Speaker A:

He set up six days of the week, which is really the Eitzedas Toyvorah.

Speaker A:

But I don't want to get lost in the sauce of the Eitzed Toyvorah.

Speaker A:

I don't know what's Tov, what's Ra.

Speaker A:

I'm so confused with the six days of the week.

Speaker A:

I'm drowning in my work.

Speaker A:

I'm drowning.

Speaker A:

I'm just trying to, you know, I'm getting by, bro.

Speaker A:

I'm just.

Speaker A:

I'm barely making it that we want you to be thriving in the six days of the week.

Speaker A:

And the way to do that, Ibn say to take the or of Shabbos and shine it into the week.

Speaker A:

And we're going to talk all about that.

Speaker A:

And then we're going to be learning that the six days of the week, which is all about this universe, this universe is all emanating out of Shabbos, which is the unity, which is Hashem.

Speaker A:

We should be Zoich Hamamish to understand all the Torahs of the Tzadikim Amitim m'siyat Deshmayesi, the or of Shabbos, Yom Shukul e Shabbos, the great days of Shabbos, of Oylam Haba should be shining.

Speaker A:

We should be Zoichant to see us, to see, to see our eternal life, even here, now, in the Yomin la la.
