Tanya - Fifth Perek - Part 3 - Sixth Perek - Part 1

2:16 V'hatorei mazan v'gamluvushlene ef ha-shammaskalis Why? Shem eslabesh b'bihu navulimutah? V'kol shekin keshamotsi b'piv vedibar shehev ladeibar nasa b'china sarmakiv kamosh kasapri'eska'im. So when a person does a mitzvah, where does the mitzvah occur? Outside of themselves. Okay, so it's important to do a mitzvah. But what's my relationship to the mitzvah? It's Extern so that would be compared to clothing. Okay, so every mitzvah including Talmud Torah is what? So from that perspective if you didn't know anything if you didn't find if you weren't in shir for the last couple of days And you never heard that so what would you say about the mitzvah of Talmud Torah not about the Talmud Torah itself? But about the mitzvah of Talmud Torah that when I do it it surrounds me right because every mitzvah by definition is Tanya Rebbe nachman ravi shabbat Tanya Rebbe nachman ravi shabbat Tanya Rebbe nachman

3:42 Tawmatura is the equivalent in terms of sheer volume to 612. We are saying it's the greatest Mitzvah, because it's the only Mitzvah that has two qualities. It's both L'evush and its Muslim. Tzvot that has two qualities. It's both a lavush and it's a mussel. Okay, Sam? Okay, so what's your, formulate your question. You're asking a good question, but I want you to define it. What are you really asking? I'm asking why is that number one? Okay, because what you're looking at it is you're saying Hased feels to me like I'm actually having an impact on the world and Talmud Torah just feels like I'm learning Right, so you're looking at it from a sheer perspective of what you perceive to be impact right But remember what is he describing? He's not describing impact. What's he describing? He's describing The ingestion of godliness meaning with your wife Let's say I said I'm going to take a course studying my wife There's a book that was written about her and obviously no book was written about her But let's say there was a book and this book started from the moment that she was a child And I could read every event that ever happened to her, every thought that ever went into her head

5:16 How valuable would it be to read that book? Amazingly valuable, right? But at the end of the day, you're going to say to me, what's greater? Like learning that book or actually going and like doing something for her like buying her a piece of jewelry or taking out the garbage or washing the dishes or cooking her a nice meal. So you're going to look at it and say, obviously you have to do because you have to be in the relationship. But this is what's critical. Remember, it's not just about doing in the relationship. It's also about what? What? Remember, the only way that I can actually have a relationship with God, right? Because remember, I can't understand God. So what can I understand about Him? Only the Book. So when do I actually take it within me? Not when I'm doing chassid, that's important. But that's not in terms of the relationship I haven't taken God inside of me. In that regard, it's the greatest of mitzvahs. You hear what he's saying? Does that make sense? It's not to denigrate chassid. Rafi.

6:10 I don't think it may not be true, but I think there's a lot of people out there. A good husband is a good father, right? I spend time with the kids, okay? Two. A good husband does things around the house. I help cook and clean for Shabbos. You know what I'm saying? Now, he's got this list of five things that he does. The wife sits him down and she says, listen, you're doing these five things but there's something that you're not doing, okay?

7:16 What's that thing? I want to be able to have a time where I could create, where you could create for me, a non-judgmental space where I can share things with you that are challenging about our marriage. Right? But the husband is just unwilling to do that. He can't take the criticism, he's not interested, he's whatever reason. He's not doing it. Now he goes away, he walks away from that conversation. He's sitting in shmoozing with his buddy and he goes, I'm the most amazing husband. Does it matter? In the last few years, we've met with a lot of people, and they're great wives. So when we establish we have a great relationship with, we always think it's about how we see the relationship. But it's the opposite. If you want to see you have a great relationship with somebody, the test, if you actually have

8:42 I'm with you, so what's our responsibility to those people? That's right. So again, when they say that, right? So my response to them would be like, I'm sure you're an amazing person, right? And if you're really interested in learning what God wants from you, I would love to introduce this to you. Tovah Tovah Tovah Tovah Tovah I'm going to go to shul, I'm going to dive in, I'm going to be a mensch, I'm going to be this, I'm going to be that, but I'm not going to learn. That's great. I'm happy for you to do so many great things in your life. But you are missing out on something fundamental, and I'm not the one that decided that. That's what God said. Yeah? Does it make sense what I'm saying to you? John? So, with God, there's no way to really consult and say, Hey, do we have a great relationship? How do you feel about me?

10:13 Well there is but in a sense like you have like this intuitive like knowing like whether you're genuine or not. That's exactly right You know that intuition is what lets you know and again because you don't know because you can't consult with God and have the conversation Here's what you can do Let's let's look at the list right God has given you the list He says being in a relationship with me means existing within these parameters. So let's test it out Now nobody expects perfection even God doesn't expect perfection But there's a fundamental difference between saying the following two things. One is I know that's the right thing to do and I'm working towards it or even if I'm not working towards it, I know I ought to be working towards it. And then there's the other thing of like I decided that that's not the parameters. I decided that I can be a good Jew and not keep Shabbos. Why? Where did that come from? You hear the difference? So just consult the list. Yeah, Aaron. I'm working down the list.

11:10 Is it Torah? I don't want to share with you. Yes, it's their business whether to share or not, but then if they're not sharing, why should you share? Why should you give me if they're not? So I would say to you that if God gave us the wisdom that he wants from us, what he gave is what's important. Meaning, if I said to my wife, tell me what you did November 3rd, 1996. Right? Is that really true? You really know that? Are you a really, like a really yankee show? Only a really yankee skipper. Did you hear that? November 3rd 1996 or yesterday? Okay tremendous, I hear you. So yeah, so I would say, if, if my, let's say my wife knew, let's say she actually remembered somehow that day, and she says, like, the, like, Nothing happened that day. Obviously something happened that day, but what is she really saying?

12:41 It's not critical to our relationship. In order to be in a relationship, you need to know what's critical. I believe that God gave us what's critical to know. But didn't you just say that... I mean, if you represent this whole time, you want to learn all the non-critical, non-important things? What's non-important? I, again, I can study my wife. So anything my wife says, right, to me is important. But if she doesn't say it, right, until she says it, it's not a known quantity. I'm going to spend the next 50 years of my life, God willing, learning about this woman. Right? There's still probably things that I don't know about her. And I've been married to her for a very long time. And I knew her for many years before that also. So you're always going to discover new things. Whatever you discover, I want to know the non-critical things. God told me everything I need to know about him. Now it's my job to go learning. By the way, if you spend the rest of your life learning, you still won't get it. He gave you a massive amount. It's not like he gave you a little bit. Yeah, exactly.

13:41 So I get how it's not more important in volume, it's not greater in volume than all of the mitzvot? It's greater in its quality, it has a dual quality. But is this saying that the mitzvot, beinadam makom, are more not more important for your organization? No, it's greater than every beinadam makom mitzvah also. So then is there an equivalent for beinadam makom in this regard? In other words, beinadam makom beinadam makom, it doesn't matter. None of them have the unique quality of Talmud Torah Tovya The godly soul of the member has a quality of it that's the thought part of the soul That's the Nefeshamel's guys Also a question about the L'Vush, is that any? The L'Vushimah three things, again you have to see which L'Vushimah is talking about, L'Vushimah are either your thoughts, your action or your speech It's an essay that will be...

14:41 Yeah, your Nefeshamah is going to have L'Vushimah also Which part? The kol shekeh keshe motzi p'hevitibor Shehev El Adibor nasebichina sormakiv Certainly if you're actually speaking the words of Torah out loud because the breath of your speech is a ormakiv, it is a surrounding light because you brought it out into reality. There is the mitzvah component of the Torah, the Eun is the mazone, that part you have right? So now he's saying you didn't just mitzvah it into existence you spoke it into existence so certainly it's gonna have the quality of being a makif. What was that? That's lavush correct? That's lavush. Okay. Perek Vov of Oseh we are now within a stone's throw distance of our first seal.

16:03 We spoke about mitzvah giving Levush, but Muslim specifically, is that unique to Talmud Terah? Yes. So it's not that it has Levush and Muslim, it uniquely has Muslim. It's not only Muslim, it's also Levush. It checks off both boxes. So something else can check off that box, that's what makes it so unique. Right, but if it was just Muslim and not Levush, if let's say such a reality existed, then maybe it wouldn't be Shaka. It's because of that as both. We can have a Siyam. We should definitely be having the Siyam again. It's very possible. We definitely do. We make the Siyam every eight prachim. It's very possible that we will be finished with this by the end of next week. Then we're going to do a Chazzara. Then we're going to have our Siyam. Okay, both sides, we have now completed our tour of the Nephishalochists and if you were studied biology.

17:21 Now you got your whole... Yo guys, come on, don't fucking fuck. Sorry, that was a total lotion hard on my brain. That was a total lotion hard. Bro, when I say my meetings are the usual, we brought it in. It doesn't even smell like brownies in here. Now that we've done our complete understanding of the Nefeshev Shabbah Chaz, what do we need to do, guys? What's the opposite force? The Nefeshev Shabbah Chaz. So do you see, again, I want you to appreciate how the al-Dareb has set everything up. Everything here is very delineating. First we do the nefesh elukis and we went through all the things you need to know about the nefesh elukis. The three dimensions of the nefesh elukis. The essefuros that makes up each dimension, right? How those dimensions interact, the chachmabinah and das, relative to the chassidu vu'rat, tafar's netzah chol Yisrael Amahchos.

18:10 What are the thoughts that you need to focus on in order to create the emotion, right? All these things. And then we went into the Levushim of the soul, how the soul expresses itself, how they connect with Torah, how they're clothed in godliness, what's the dimension of each one? Now we're going to shift over to the Nafesh Abahamas. Okay. This is the one that actually is relevant. Ve'hineh. Zalu uma za'as elokiah. This guy is so much. Hakadosh Baruch Hu created the world. Everyone with me? Yeah? What page? Page Reishlamud. Everyone good? Zaym, you with me? You with me? Good, okay. Dihinay, Zayl uma zayr azalukim. God made everything in this world. Don't jump down my throat and ask me about a million things. Trust me for a second. Everything in this world has a mirror image. Zayl uma zayr. This side has something? So this side has something? Yeah, it means it's opposite. It's opposite power. So whatever exists on one side of the equation, K'ikimosha ha nefeshe lukes kalulamei hasersfiroz kedoshos ummis labesos visloshe luvushim kedoshim Just like the Nefeshe Lukes is comprised of 10 Holy Spheros, yeah?

19:41 Meaning appropriate, Chachmabina das, chassidu gurat tafaris, netzachod Yisrael machos And just like it has three Levushim What are the three Levushim of the soul? Shabbos Dibor and Maisah Guys, remember I told you guys what you have to get it down? Three Levushim of the soul are Ma'chshavat Dibor and Maisah Ka'chha nefes teshitra ahra mikleipas noga Hamu lbechas badam ha'adam kalulah me'asikissirim d'missa voussa Okay, explain what this means. So too, the Nefesh, because remember guys, what did we say? Shabbat Shalom Tov Vira'ah

21:15 Tovir is an admixture of tov, v'raj, good and evil. It comes from the chit of the ezadah's. Klipat noga is the erbuv'ya of tov and rahd, the admixture of good and evil. It comes from this ezadah's. Noga. Now here we're speaking about, listen carefully we're speaking about, what does he say? Nefes of Citraachra Nefesh of the Sitraachra Shlos K. That would be your nefshil kiss. It comes from Sitchraachra, it comes from the other side.

22:48 It's not the vahreh. It's the back side. It's the unholy side. Let me use the board. I'm going to switch to the board. Did you bring a marker today? Do we have a marker in the room? It's my man. Always prepared. Shlos Kli Phosat Mevs. The three unholy... Roy, do you mind switching seats with me? I'm sorry, just uh, I want to use the board. Thank you so much, Roy. I appreciate it. Stay with me, guys. Stay with me. We're going back, so it's... Remember, guys, I told you this at the beginning of the year, and now it's coming to fruition. If you don't know what we're talking about, you're not going to be able to use that information as we get closer and closer to the end of this section of Tanya. Everything starts to build up on itself. The information that you have to know clearly comes back to Hauncey. So it goes as follows. We have two things. We have, again, not, and I want to be clear. The Sitra Akra is the other side of Hashem. I don't mean to say that it's not God.

24:06 G-d Is that nefesh, okay? That is nefesh el kis, okay? And the nefesh el kis, its feature is that it's what? It is obviously godly. It's transparent godliness, okay? Transparent is the key word here. What makes it transparent? It's nature. It's like this is transparent, right? You can see that which is within. Okay? So this godliness is obvious in the Natashalukas. Okay? When we work within the non-godly, right, so we're going to see that either godliness is going to be not transparent or it's going to be so hidden that it can't be accessed. So we'll see as follows. There's three, there's two categories now. This is going to be the vine, okay? The first category, The first story which we're not discussing today is the Shlosch Klipos Hatmeyos. The three non-godly Klipos. Right away we're in the world of shells, that which hides God.

25:40 Now here, godliness is not just hidden, but it's non-accessible. So you can't access godliness as we're going to see when we get to it. It's not holy, it's not holy, it's not godly. There's nothing for me to access. Shlosh Vibos Hatemayos. I'm just abbreviated. We're going to get to that chapter where we get there and the point is no. You cannot access the godliness here. It doesn't mean there's not godliness there, it means I can't access it. So even if that piece of chazur... So you can't access the ludy sticks. Correct. So even if I say, but Rebbe, I sat and I learned from the strength that I got from eating the pig. Shabbat Ha'vokot from eating the pig. So what? That's nice that you did that. Maybe you're going to miss for Talmud Torah. But by definition you were dealing in the realm of the non-godly.

27:01 Are there any virosts that do have godly kut, you could find out? No, now, one second, now, no, of course not. Now you have something else called klippaz noghom. Noga Tovirah

28:09 G-d to bring transparency. Okay, that's what's going to be critical. I have capacity for it. I have the capacity to make it godly, but right now it's in an undefined state. When we speak about it, and then I'm going to go out to answer questions. When we speak about the Nefesh Chaba hummus of a Jew, what are we speaking about? We're speaking about Nefesh Chaba hummus that emanates from Kleipas Novin. Okay? So, what would you say right away about your Nefesh Chaba hummus? About your physical being? Is your physical being a How can something that's non-godly have gotten? Emanation

29:41 I know that, that information is not available to me, but I know because in Shamayim, its emanation, its reality, is rooted in Shloshuwibos et Tameyos, so that's what makes it impossible to access. In other words, this by definition means it's not just non-gobling. It's blocked godliness. I can't get there. So the only thing I can do is abstain from it. Is it bad? If it's not godly? So when you say bad, what do you mean? Is it Hitler? No, it's like you said the Noga has good and bad. Okay, so this means, meaning this is like a question mark. Its definition will be revealed by my usage of it. Okay. Okay, so if I use it in a godly way, then I'd access the Tov and I've created transparency. So like something like a thumb? Oh, Sammy just asked a brilliant question. Brilliant question because again you're jumping ahead and we're going to get to this and Sami just pointed out the following. Let's say I have a device like this. Now this device, Roy is shaking his head because he looks at his Rebbe and he says, my Rebbe is straight, my Rebbe has a smartphone. So you could look at it in one of two ways. You could say it's shlosh pleefos atemayos and therefore nobody should have a smartphone perhaps. Or you could say, It's kulipos nova because it can be used inappropriately or appropriately.

31:11 Right? And the difference is everything. Because if you say your smartphone is shloshlipos e'tamayos, you gotta get rid of your smartphone. You gotta go to Mikvuh for 180 days in a row. Right? And you gotta just... You go to Mikvuh today? I'm here. I'm not here. Okay. No, he's got to do 180 days. I heard not... If you do it for the Mikvuh, then we get it next year. You're about to start the trip. Is that true? Klal Yisrael Don't look at things that are inappropriate. Use it for, as Zach does, recording shirim, uploading them to the group so that we can all chaser, right? Those would be the value plays of kleepas no'k. So you see, Sami, if you want to understand why we behave as talmidim of the altarebuh, why we behave with the world the way that we do, is because we look at the world and we say some things are shlosh kleepos, and some of us don't want to be messing around with those things.

32:36 Shabbat teshuva Tov Tov If it's a godly behavior it could be a non-godly behavior. Correct. If it's eating appropriate foods. I'm Caradian I do non-godly things. Are those the same people that can't have guns? They should. They're like a m

33:58 They should. That's what she called it. They're like the Mary Scharing ones that you go up by with a couple of them. Do me a favor. Do me a favor. I don't know all the people that live in the Hijam, but I'm sure that they are not one type of person. Don't generalize. But yes, but yes. One second. Roy, Roy, you're right. No, you're right. You're right. In this sense, you're right. I mean, I disagree with your premise, but in this sense, you're right. Not all of them. Right. That's the point, right? There are people within the world that will choose to see things Kabbos. For whatever reason they'll choose to categorize it as Shlosh Kibez and Tamaos. Whereas in the world of the Altareb we have to see what's Kibez Nogar. and don't worry we'll get there. We're gonna explain. Eating food is Shabbad Es Klippaz Nogar. Because I have eaten inappropriately on Shabbos before.

34:49 What is totally God? Yes, Tepilah. I've proving that myth wrong. Ravi Shabbat Shabbos Inappropriate Food If you eat with Abracha in an appropriate amount, right? You can't call that godly anymore because you have to make sure that you're separating out all the Ra'a Mikey, but then you don't gain weight on Shabbos Trust me, gain weight on Shabbos So, that's not easy No, I'm saying if you eat inappropriately, you still gain weight on Shabbos, even spiritually Mikey, once you make it transparent, like at that moment, does it change over to the...

36:22 Oh, excellent question guys, you are way jumping ahead Mikey, don't worry, we're going to discuss that in Tanya at a length Tovia then Bensi then Arun and Rafi We have to go on. Also, I reserve the right to say next question because I want to make sure we keep moving. Tovio. So, would it be more...why wouldn't you say that instead of labeling it non-godly and godly? Well, that's the point because not everything is hidden godliness. This is not hidden godliness. This is inaccessible godliness. So right away it starts off in a different category. Do you understand the metaphor of God in the shining girl? For example, the black guy, she's not allowed to do it. So she can go, man, black chick, not black. The kleba's no good, though, to be his. I appreciate it. That's right. It has the capacity. It's like those round paper bags where you put the French fries in them and the oil can make it transparent.

37:49 Right. So you've got to shake it up in order to make it transparent. I didn't say it's not godly, I said it's non-godly, meaning it's godliness has not been yet revealed. There's a big difference. Bensi, what was it? It was Bensi then Aaron, then Rafi, then John. No John was before Aaron. I don't mind then. Bens. In the beginning of creation, was everything the whole thing? No, in the beginning of creation, as we're going to see, in the beginning of creation everything was balanced between them which was godly and then which was non-godly. And when other Marishams sinned... Well, again, starting with other Marishams sinned, right? So originally it was 50-50, take a look in the Ramchalim dar Hashem, and then the avalanche started this way, once other Marishams sinned. No, I didn't say that. I said there was an imbalance, and then the imbalance continues.

38:47 What's that mean? Meaning now we've brought in a tremendous amount of non godliness into the world. Meaning godliness is less apparent today. Meaning that which.... It used to be that you could perceive things in the world as more godly than you can today. We're going to get there. You're going to see. Johnathan. If I'm understanding it correctly, we're saying that Kripas Noga is engaging in a positive world in a popular way, and Mele that becomes a spiritual activity. And we're saying that Kripas Noga... By the way, really all I did was read one line, which I didn't even finish translating. And we're talking about something that we're going to get to in a couple weeks from now. But yeah. And Kripas Noga says, Kripas Noga, teshutah akhum di Kripas Noga. The clip of Zola stems from Sij Drava Yes! So how can something be published if it's from a completely non-galley place?

39:46 You're saying something is originally Tameh, is like an offshoot of that which is not? So how can, isn't that like, does that work against itself? Why? Think about it. Play it out. No you're doing great. You're doing great. Play it out. I don't know. I'm not going to tell you much about that. No, no it's good. You're doing excellent. This is Ian. I'm saying we're talking about something that's originally tummies, so you mean tired of the tummies? So now when you say it's originally tummies, what do you mean when you say it's originally tummies? It is lacking of golems. That's right. It's lacking what type of golems? And therefore what's the answer to your question? It's blocked. It's not inaccessible. It's just not yet transparent. So now I'm not telling you about the other, Maisul That is the name Shabbah Hamis. Is stemming from a block? You said soul or shul? Maisul. Oh, okay. He says Maisul I was like, okay, I gotta be careful here. Yeah, Maisul, which is never Shabbah Hamis, which comes from Klimbas Nogah, from Sotr-achra.

40:48 Which is not completely un-gan. Right. It's not transparent, it's like there's like a fog screen. Excellent And that option kind of come out, right? Say that one more. Perfect. Now, Jonathan, now let me put it back to you. Knowing that what you now know about your Nefesh Shabbat Ha'amis, would you want to run away from your Nefesh Shabbat Ha'amis, or would you want to engage your Nefesh Shabbat Ha'amis? I don't think I'd want to engage it either. I would learn how to deal with it properly. Well, it's not just deal with it, right? There's godliness there. I've got to mind that. Right. I'm not saying I'm going to hide away in the closet forever. I'm just going to learn how to properly engage it. Right, but it's not just a question of like controlling it. There's something there. It's like a coal mine, right? But if you go deep deep deep into that coal mine, you're gonna find diamonds, right? So there's opportunities there.

41:35 And that's what's exciting to me about chassidus. What's exciting to me about chassidus, which is different than the way that a lot of us grow up is it's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How do we engage the world? There are those that engage the world by saying thou shall not cross, because they see the world as Shlosh Kippur Sufmeyos. So they see their whole job as to close up shop and don't engage. In a sense it's very comfortable. To do that? Yeah, but you're missing out on a huge opportunity. Then there are those that say, the world's awesome. You're like, what are you not realizing? There's plenty of rot present here. Just look at your kids, look at what they're doing. They'll tell you if you pay attention, they'll tell you what's really going on. So you're ignoring something pretty obvious. So the answer is no. It's not here and it's not here.

42:20 Eretz Yerushalayim Mevaseret Chazim Shriekirzah Krivosnara I can build a gladiator stadium with it. Ahh, I can build a basement I can sign it. It's very important. A tree? Do you say anything in the world? Could be useful. Go to her bed. So before Yerun's sin was like, after the sin, did that tree itself become lower? Or was our perception of that tree fundamentally changed? What changed after our sin? Was it something about the tree or was it something about how we see the tree? I would answer you like this. I would answer with a third category. And I'm sure you'll push me when I give you this answer. I think of it like forces, right? Like I've got some forces keeping it over here and I've got some forces keeping it over here. Well now there's more forces in the world that are diminishing our understanding and appreciation of God's witness in the world.

43:55 So there's more of what we call Hester Panim. So for example, like right now, aren't you ever having a situation like this that you've ever had? But like you wake up in the morning and you're just like, do not want to die. I mean, have you ever had that? That's a sooner than I'm waking up in the morning. I understand. But if I've had a time in my life where let's say I've gone to sleep at like 3 o'clock in the morning, now my alarm goes off at 7 o'clock, right? I gotta be out, rest, 7-10 the rest of the week, she was gonna be down by the stairs, I gotta be there for him. Right? And the last thing in the world was that? Yeah, when you get older you don't really need what you guys do, you guys are all like looking yourself in the mirror like, I'm dressed in two seconds.

44:43 This morning I was up at 5.30, so I mean that's when I wake up most mornings. So now, there are times where I've gotten to sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning, you wake up at 5.30 Bessiqam 5.30pm is the worst time to wake up and say, we can've got 5 o'clock, 5.10 so you can make Veseekam. If you can't make it to 5.35pm, you're not going to make it, it's a disaster anyways, it's very different time. But now you wake up at 5.30pm? It's a humble break. I'm not saying, I'm saying. It's 5.30pm. It's 5.30pm. Once it's 3 o'clock, the last thing in the world I want to do is wake up. Right? So here's the difference whether I need to go to gotta davening, or whether I need to catch my flight. What you may not realize is when you're a Bayan, go to America. So let's say I have to be in Seattle. This is actually what's coming up for me. I have to be in Seattle on a Wednesday afternoon.

45:33 Well in order for me to be in Seattle on a Wednesday afternoon, because I'm going to be in LA the day before, so I've got to catch the 745 flight. So you think to yourself, 745, 745, no big deal. Then you remember, wait a second, it's 745 from LAX. How long does it take to get to the airport? When it comes to LAX it could be a 15 minute drive. Or it could be an hour and 15 minute drive. I once had this when I was speaking in Shalhavit. First time ever that I was in LA. LAX is the LA airport. So now I'm sitting in a hotel right by the airport and Waze the night before told me it's 15 minutes from Shalhavit to the airport. Michael's laughing because he's from LA. He knows. The traffic patterns in LA, I was a rookie at the time. I didn't know that and I don't even know if they had that feature back then Right, so I'm like I'm good to go. I woke up I doubted I was taking my time and then I get in the car and it's bumper to bumper traffic I'll have it is calling me every two minutes. Okay, so you think so. Okay 745 at LAX Let's assume it's gonna be that time of the morning. Maybe won't be so much traffic Then you think you some way is gonna have to return my car to hurts

46:43 Hertz We're rolling up now 7.45am and I've got to return the car. Now it's going to be 15 minutes from the time that I return the car until the time that I get to the check-in counter. And I need to be there. A domestic flight officially only needs to be there in the hour before, but then you think there's only one second. It's LAX. Right? So it's a lot of commuters in the morning, so you've got to get there before. So now all of a sudden you realize, in order for me to get to my flight on time, I have to be at Hertz Rent-A-Car at 5.45am in the morning. 5.45am will put me back in the airport by 6am until I get through security. I'll be there with plenty of time. 5.45 in the morning, serious, still no problem, right? But then you think to yourself, where am I staying? Well, I'm not going to stay at the hotel the night before, because the hotels in LA are ridiculous. So I'm going to stay by my boy Gershi. And Gershi lives three blocks away from Yule. So now I've got to get from the city, right near Pico, I've got to get from the city all the way. So I'll take Uber because I'm Herzgol, right? So now, because I'm like Peasants Uber, right? So even in just LA, Herzpase, but again, it wasn't different. So now, guys, it makes a lot of sense.

48:09 5.45 am in the morning means that what time do I need to be awake? I need to leave, I need to be in the airport at 5.45 am, which means the latest I can leave the house is 5.15 am. Right? Really I should probably even leave at 5 o'clock, even though it's 5.15 am in the morning there probably won't be so much traffic, but still you never know when it comes to LA. Yeah? Now that means when do I need to wake up? Well I need to shower because I'm going on a flight, nobody wants to be sitting next to the sweaty little overweight Jew with a beard who also smells bad. Right? Seh gada wake up ya gada shower but you know you're gonna be running through the airport so you're gonna be 20 so it's 4 30 in the morning that I have my alarm go off now the night before I probably was hanging out with alumni I probably went out to pat's right probably got myself a nice 36-o stake in pat's and by the time I got back you're chilling out hanging out with him his kid his wife right so now I get to sleep at 12 o'clock you think at 4 30 in the morning I want to wake up and yet and yet and yet right why do I make why do I wake up because I

49:03 I miss that flight on toast. And by the way, Jonathan's even worse because that afternoon, after I land in Seattle, you know where I'm flying to? I have to fly to Denver that night because I have to be in Denver the next day. So my trip is... We'll get Denver. What was that? We'll get Denver. Absolutely. Who was Denver guy last year? I love Denver guys. I actually go to a Jew in Denver. There's a lot of Jews in Denver. Denver's awesome. I love it. What was that? It's called DAT. DAT. Denver Academy of Torah. The Academy of Torah. Not for you, too many brownies in Denver. They don't call it Mile High Stadium for nothing. So yeah, every once in a while. Sure. So wait a second, so guys, so think about this. This is my trip. You ready for this? So now, I'm leaving Mufti Shabbos, I'm landing in LA on Sunday. I'm doing an alumni event Sunday morning. Then I'm driving to San Diego Sunday afternoon because I want to miss the traffic.

50:02 Monday morning I'm in Seattle. I'm in San Diego. Driving back to LA, I'm in LA, doing an alumni event Monday night in LA. Tuesday all day I'm in LA. Wednesday morning I'm in Seattle. Thursday morning I'm in Denver. Friday Shabbos Sunday I'm in New York. Monday I'm in Chicago. Tuesday I'm in Philadelphia. And then I'm driving back to New Jersey to catch the flight from Newark out that night. What am I doing for food? Let me explain to you the mahalah. First of all, don't be amateurs. There's pats 36 ounce steaks. There's Shilos. There's Lagandola. Calvarys. Calvarys and Lagandola. Calvarys and Shilos. Calvarys and Shilos. What's wrong? The candy bacon. Yeah, I've had the candy bacon there. It's unbelievable. Have you had the deep fried avocado egg rolls? Sushi mashimaya. Oh, that looks good. Sushi mashimaya. All first. It's all first.

51:30 Okay, one second, one second, one second. Shh. But then obviously there's not gonna be any good kosher food in Seattle. There's not gonna be any good kosher food in Denver. Chicago you're taking care of. What do you have in Chicago to eat? Romanian. Romanian, obviously. Chalets. In New York This is before my diet There's something unbelievable that guys don't know about Did you know that the restaurant was called Prime Grill? Prime Grill. Yeah? It's closed. It's closed on Central Avenue? No. Prime Grill. Prime-bish? You know Prime Beechchun? It's around the corner of the world though. Do you know they have a lunch special? Yeah! Totally underrated, most guys don't know it. They have an unbelievable steak sandwich for 15 bucks. And it's so, it's so hidden. It's the most delicious sandwich and almost nobody in the Five Towns knows about it. It's a crazy thing. Why are you telling me about this? I don't think I knew you would. I'm happy to tell you now. It's unbelievable. So that's a move, but not for me and Mizey.

52:46 And more, really the movies depends how much you want to pig at, right? So if you're totally Nefesha Bahamut's Orientalist, so then you're going all UK- Humboldtost Humboldtost Burruh I don't wanna Tujukunu I wanna Vitya Ramban Ravi Ravi It's not good I went there so good so good what are you talking about? Ok this is all in that fisheh-pahamas let's get back into it The only Khusher georgie restaurant I'm not talking about I'm talking about. It's the only Okay so to answer your question no I don't take out and when I go to Seattle

54:09 In Denver I basically get piketi loaded up by the woods called by truckload and they use piketi as piko koshidele in L.A. and then I get stopped because I don't want to put it in my suitcase. I put it in my carry-on room and they always flag me for it. They're like, why is this Jew carrying like five pounds of pastrami? And the answer is because I'm Jewish. So that's the answer. What was that? Yeah, they have to. What was the answer to my original question? I don't know what the question was. I answered your question. The question was, The question was there are multiple forces, and the forces, when they're balanced, the perception of godliness is 50-50. The godliness within the tree didn't change how far it was, as only our perception of what the tree's potential can become was skewed towards more of a, oh, we can use this for more evil or more good.

55:02 That's right. Rafi. Last question, then we're moving back to you. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, that's not, that's not exceptional. That's not what I'm talking about. Okay, Veiter. Yes. Damah Adam Kalulamei Esikissrun Demisavusa Just as the Nefesha Lukis had ten attributes of the soul, so too the Nefesha Bahamis is comprised of ten attributes of the soul. However, listen what they're called. They're called the Esikissrun of Tumma, meaning the purpose is to separate you, in the Nefesha Bahamis, the purpose is to separate you from Godliness. So instead of being chahmah that brings you closer to God, it's chahmah that brings you farther from God. If you don't understand what I mean, you'll see in a moment. Shaheem, Shabbamidos Rous. So before I end we had Chassid Gavurah Tafaris Netzah Hode Yisot Amachos. Those were the seven positive attributes of the soul.

56:25 Now we have seven attributes of the soul that are going to be those same exact attributes but what? Skewed towards the non-godly. So for example, Chesed could be appropriate. Chesed means love, right? And love, when it's coming from the Neveshah locust, is appropriate. Intimacy means exclusivity. On the Neveshah Bahamis side, the same exact dimension of Chesed, but now it's expressing, it's being expressed from the Neveshah Bahamis, so now all of a sudden the act of love becomes something that separates you from God. It's not appropriate love. It's not with the right person. It's Tanya R. Amolidin ha-nechlech Shosh Shein Chachmabinah das mekara-midos So the same way that we had the same exact structure beforehand, let's just play it out and make sure everyone gets it. We had a structure beforehand and the structure went like this.

57:58 Everything is made up of four elements. Arbiyyisotos. Okay? Now, we're speaking about the nefeshah Gahamas. Okay? So instead of the four positive elements, it's the four negative elements. Are they inherently negative? Well, again, it depends how they're being expressed. When the nefeshah lo kis expresses them, then no. When the nefeshah lo kis expresses them, then yes. So those are going to be expressed positively. No, because that's the point. They could be expressed by either soul. Right? So now we're speaking about the nefeshah haba havas. Tanya Bishatah Hammes we have three sehel oriented, three sehel dimensions of the soul, tafmabinah and das. What do those give birth to? Remember guys what happens the sehel always gives birth to the Midos. So we have seven Midos but the difference is that as opposed to the godly place where the chassid was connecting you from God, here the seven Midos what's their fundamental Elihes Teruut B'sudam V'sudam We're still in the world of Klipas Novem. Wait, if something disconnects you from God, how is it okay?

59:33 You'll see, you'll see, very good, Sami, don't worry, we'll get there in a second. Tovya, let me skip a little bit, let me get a little... I can skip just that right now. What do we skip? I'm not talking about skipping like, nefeshuva or something. I've been counting again. I have one line. This one's saying, let's get some momentum. Yeah? Kia medos hein l'vi erechasecha. Wait, please... Just like in the nefesh Elokis. Just like in Elokis. The level of seikhul that you have determines the level of me-dos that you have, meaning a child will have less capacity to experience discipline because his intellect is not as developed. So too in the Nefesh Ha-Marais. Or is it doing three and seven? Seven, we'll come from the Dohim. I'll tell you the reason. Because you're saying the program of seikhul is not a translation. Correct. But you couldn't be dispensing there.

1:00:22 How? You could have chassid, but again, it will only be according to your level of seikhul. Shh! Shh! Guys... Yeah, yeah, yeah. That meaning it's commensurate, right? It's whatever the mind can contain. That's what the heart can express. Mikey. Do you think the Seykhil causes the disconnect? Let's say you had a person that on an intellectual level, right, they're not calibrated to understand that relationships are meant to be appropriate, right? And so the way that they think, Chazersal, the way they think about women is just like, how do I get them? As opposed to how do I participate in a relationship? Well, probably in that type of seichal, right, especially if it's really developed inappropriate seichal, you're going to have really developed inappropriate meadows.

1:01:50 That sounds pretty logical. Do if you have. Is it inherently correct? Do you think of the Ne Raspberry Wales? Yeah, that's the... le aviche indie never gave us a nice instantaneous with what Was that correct? Meaning the nature of the Neffesha Bahamis is that, like think about it like this, right? The Neffesha Bahamis is playing an impoverished game. It's gonna die. So the infinite soul is not worried about death. The Neffesha Bahamis is worried about death. So the Neffesha Bahamis might say, the Neffesha will say, I want to eat food for godly reasons and godly reasons only. The Neffesha Bahamis says, I just need to survive. I'm not even thinking about godliness. Can you change so you can change the nature of it? Al Tereb said, this is the very first year that we gave this year, the Al Tereb said the purpose of chassidus was leshane estev usov, not to change your meidos, to change your nature.

1:03:06 So yes, I fundamentally believe that the nature of this can be changed and that your nature can be changed. Mikey. What if there is no seikh on? Could that? What would happen? What with no Seicha you'll have no developed emotions. So then this would it even be happening? Right. Wait think about it. Even an inappropriate teenager who's just doing whatever he wants, he has Seicha. It's just so haphazard and so Neffeshaba hamosori ended. He's not thinking about transcendence. He's not thinking about deep things. He's just like whatever image, you know what's, like a child is worried about their image. Everything is like image truth. It's very Nevish Shabbat Hamis. So the Nevish Shabbat Hamis is concerned with how people see, right? Whereas the Nevish Shabbat Hamis is concerned only about what's authentic and the right thing to do. So the Nevish Shabbat Hamis is naturally going to be addicted. The Nevish Shabbat Hamis would never be addicted.

1:04:05 Arne? If you think about the saying, I don't have 80, 90 years on this earth, why am I wasting my time with this? Who am I wasting my time chasing this car? I only have 90 years. A lot of the Nefesh and the Benjel are cancelled. I have infinity. You only made one mistake. The Nefesh of Bahamas doesn't say I have 80, 90 years on this earth. And then what? According to the Nefesh of Bahamas. Then nothing comes next. So that's... but is that so? Because the Nefes of Ammaz is created from godliness as well. It's not. Ah, it's from Sitchra Akher from Klee Paz Noga. Yeah, which should have been so good then. Right, but it's not a consciousness of godliness. The Nefes of Ammaz is worried... The Nefes of Ammaz at the end of ninety years says nothing happens. That's not the consciousness of the Nefes of Ammaz.

1:05:13 B'yit Tefedah Yous said it up and you said the Nefsha B'hama should be worried about purpose. That's the godly soul that's worried about purpose. The Nefsha B'hama doesn't even think about purpose. The Nefsha B'hama is just too busy trying to survive. So a question, when we're returning, is air as cleansed as a wipe? Excellent question and we're going to get to it. But I want you to take away just from right now. We have 7 minutes left. I just want you to take away the following very clear message. The Nefesha Bahamis because it's impoverished is like a child who just needs to be fed and like clothed and it's image driven and it's addicted because it's not thinking about bigger picture things. When the Nefesha Bahamis speaks, it starts to doubt. It's like, yeah, but do you really want that? I don't know, you're going to leave all those amazing times that we had?

1:06:13 So that's Nefesha Bahamis. Nefesheul Kiz is like, you serious? Those were not amazing times. Those were just like times when you gratified like whatever narcissistic pleasure you were involved in at that moment. It sees it as sad and pathetic. Yeah. Is that what the Yitz Ha'er is? We don't talk about Yitz Ha'er yet because we're way before Yitz Ha'er. See the problem with Yitz Ha'er is Yitz Ha'er means an inclination. So you are speaking about am I inclined this way? Am I inclined that way? The Altareva is going much further back. He's not speaking about Yezer. He's speaking about Nefesh. The difference is that it's not an inclination. It's like if I said... Is that part of your soul though? Nefesh is not part of your soul as we're going to see. We haven't mentioned G-H-O-T-O-V and G-H-O-H-R-I-A. Right? In the very beginning and then he said, let's switch to Nefesh. Let's switch to speaking about Nefesh.

1:07:03 Because it's not my gun is fighting against your gun. It's I'm fighting against you. I need to understand the nature of the enemy and I need to understand the nature of the hero in order to understand the story. Kia katan choshig v'oev duarim katan bechuse'erach Look at a child. What does a child enjoy doing? Shh! He's muttering under his breath about liberals. This is what happens every time we have Florida kids in Yeshiva. Kia katan choshig v'oev duarim katan bechuse'erach What does a child want, guys? Very small, pathetic things. Why? Because they have very small, pathetic minds. So when a five-year-old doesn't generally think deeply, what does a five-year-old want? What does Mikey want? Mikey wants candy. Get candy, get candy, get candy, get candy. That's Mikey's whole life. It's just about candy, right? So when I come home from Shulan Shabbos and there was environments for Shulan, I've got my pockets loaded up with candy.

1:08:07 Jonathan, what does his face look like when I gave him candy? This is like all candy, right? It's like the most amazing thing. I hope you can give me more candy, right? But imagine Jonathan if I came to you and I was like Some candy, right? Imagine if Jonathan really wants some candy. I'm like, I have to, you're like, I have to. That's like Jonathan that I should do. Yeah, it could be because he has a child inside of him. But I mean, there would be Nachman child, not the childish child. Yeah, so It would be like that, right? And what would he say about somebody like that? Levisha sichlo katan ve'katsa l'hasig varmi karmi osamahim Khatan v'katsi Allah hasik dvarami karmi osem ham Because a child does not have the capacity to think about that which is more precious. Mikey would rather have candy than a diamond.

1:09:14 Right? Because it's two and a half. He would rather have candy than a diamond. On a very basic level, the whole marshmallow experiment. Yeah. A child is able to understand some basic significance to their benefit. But that's it. So in a sense it's an egotistical, driven, not necessarily the Shemah way of thinking? Not necessarily. It's totally ego driven. Not as an adult. Shabbat Al-Fatiha I'm not worried about my mother punishing me, I'm worried about my mother being upset at me because I care about the relationship. I'm not worried about being punished. And I'm not worried about being rewarded. It's not like what am I going to get out of this. The relationship itself is meaningful. That's the whole skewed... That's where the Litvishl world lost me 100%. Everything became about like this scar and that scar and it was like what are you talking about? A scar. Why not Shem?

1:10:40 I got that whole idea once, I think it was so much value that when I started thinking this was Yach Kistly, I was a Reagan and this Rav gave this story, Ramchir Rav gave this story. He was once a kid and this guy asked him, so you wear titis and echta so you get more sha'a and he looked at him. He was like, I think that's why I wear titis and echta so I can get more sha'a and I'm looking for a more sha'a and I'm looking for the connective type of this sha'a. Right, right. That's exactly, it's nothing to do with sha'a is irrelevant. And that's what the Mishnah says, the Mishnah says, don't be like a servant who serves as master in order to get a reward. That's the whole test of the tizit, about having a scar on any part of it. Yeah, it could be. Yeah. Then why is there a scar? Scar means, like the Gemara says, the reward of the mitzvah is the mitzvah itself.

1:11:28 What a scar means is, meaning in Shammai there's no castles and there's no virgins, right? In Shamayim what there is, is you and Hashem. The nature of your relationship is the reward. It's better than how much time is the time. Guys. And this ends at how important you do in this world? That's right. Just like in any relationship. You're going to get out of it what you're going to put into it. Not for you, not what I'm going to get out of it. The relationship I have is the relationship that I have. Tovya. What does the, I'm just trying to like, last question. Tashah Ha'atun, only one of the certain things because he doesn't appreciate other greater things. Meaning, because the Seyhel is so minimalistic, so then the Midos are going to be minimalistic. So those are the things that the Shabbat is doing. Meaning, my Hesse is going to be only the Hesse that my Seyhel could imagine.

1:12:22 So I can't, as a five-year-old, I can't imagine the notion of transcending the self and giving my life over to another. I could at best imagine being kind because it gets me somewhere. So like with a five-year-old, we say, if you don't share your toys with others, So what meadows do you think? They only gain you though. It's the sermon meadows. The Seyfel will only allow certain parts of the sermon meadows to be expressed. K'chaseh, right? Everything can be changed. The K'chaseh of a child is going to be at maximum. A five-year-old is, share your toys with others so they'll share their toys with you. But that's still self-absorbed. To a 20-year-old we would say, share your toys with others. Period. It's in itself a value, not because of anything else you're going to receive. You see how That's a development in Midos? It's a group of visualized different Midos that I kind of don't know.

1:13:38 Midirs filling out the different Midos. But it's not just... I want you to get this. It's not... Guys, it's a very important question to ask. It's not quantity. It's not just like this Midah has more. It's a fundamentally different expression of that Midah. Love that's narcissistic, right? A hookup is a narcissistic act of love, right? A relationship is an official look. It's a godly act of love. Those are not differences in quantity, those are differences in quality. Okay, we'll stop here for today.
