Mayim Rabim part 3 - Tohu and Tikkun · Food for the Soul

0:00
Okay, good morning everyone.
0:02
Hasidut will take the fire as an example multiple times.
0:10
You're going to see that the fire and the passion and different attributes will correlate.
0:17
You're going to have the coffee in the middle of that.
0:24
In fire there's different levels.
0:27
There's the flames.
0:29
You know what flames are? Flames.
0:32
the flames when there's a fire and then there's like the the shape of the fire
0:39
the fire that's the fire that's a flame now there's a deeper way the main more
0:48
essential fire when there's a coal when you make a barbecue and you have a lot
0:52
of a lot of like coals and inside the coal there's fire inside you know when
0:59
there's like a black barbecue then you do or and then everything lights up red you
1:05
know what I'm talking about everything is like white all the coals are burning but
1:09
there's no flame you you you blow our oxygen in it the whole thing lights up you
1:14
see there's really deep inside we're gonna dig even deeper there's something
1:19
called a rock what's a rock stone does a stone have fire in it let's go
1:31
does a stone have fire in it? No. But when you claim two stones one to each other,
1:38
or more specifically specific stones one to each other, what comes out? A spark of what?
1:46
A fire. So what happened there? So it means that in the rock there's a certain element of fire,
1:54
very very hidden very very concealed but even while you are rock there is fire in
2:02
it so we have first of all we see three levels in fire we have burning flames we
2:10
have like coals and then we have the way it is inside the stone itself in the
2:18
firestone we're gonna soon refer this to the different levels of the love that
2:25
we have to Hashem. Where are we at? In the mama, in the discourse. We asked,
2:38
mayim rabbim leochlul lechabot et tawabah, great waters will not be able to
2:42
extinguish the love that the Jew has to Hashem. And rivers are not going to be
2:47
able to drown it. What is this talking about? That the Jew has a passion for Hashem,
2:57
a love to God. And there's great waters, mundane things or more
3:06
particularly the preoccupation and anxiety of working. When you work a lot, when you
3:16
need to make money, when you need to take care of that, whatever all the mundane things
3:21
they could drown you. They could literally drown you like you don't have air to take
3:30
care especially not to pray or to serve Hashem. We're telling you now don't wait really the
3:37
great water? The great water won't be able to drown you. The great water won't be able
3:45
to drown you. Why? Because your Neshama is burning, it's fire. And then we ask a simple
3:53
question. What's the novelty? Of course the water can drown you because you're in
3:59
You're a godly spark. What's the whole point of, wow, let's celebrate that it's not gonna drown. Of course you're not gonna drown.
4:07
Because you are godly. And the mayim rabiim, the great waters are what?
4:13
Worldly, secular, disconnected, anti-godly. So what's the khidush?
4:21
We went, okay, let's look at the roots of things. Let's look at the source of things.
4:27
things. And we introduced a concert called Tohu and Tikkun. Before we introduced Tohu
4:46
and Tikkun, we introduced Or and Kli. Not Hebrew lesson, but let's try to remember.
4:54
What's all? Light. What's clay? Cup? A vessel? Very good. The recipient? So we said, first,
5:03
when Hashem created the world, the Kaleem wouldn't weren't able to handle the all. So what happened?
5:11
There was everything shattered. There was this order that happened in the world. The
5:19
was founded on endless lights and a lot of sparks in an unorganized fashion, and that
5:29
in a certain way created a foundation for the world. Then round two Hashem organized and
5:40
made a more concrete light, a more specific, limited light and different killing, though
5:46
were able to handle it better. And then we have something called Tikkun. So we'll find
5:59
that all the organized things in the world come from Tikkun. Tohu means disorder, mess.
6:12
weren't you last week? Okay, I'm like
6:35
to tell them that the water from that water jug or that has like that taste from the white and the
6:41
bottom. You know like the hot water has like the taste of the white so we need to clean the water
6:48
earned. Tohu and Tikkun. Now which one we said is higher? Tohu was endless lights, infinite
7:00
lights, tremendous. Tikkun was a more specific light that was able to organize,
7:08
create separate entities, everything, you know, everything in its place. So when we
7:18
we will look at our Neshama. Our Neshama is a created being and that created being has
7:26
a Godly spark in it. Where is that coming from? From Tohu or from Tikkun?
7:33
Again?
7:34
Our Neshama, my soul, my Neshama, comes from where? From Tikkun. Right? You're with us.
7:41
Tikkun means it's a systemized you, a body, that's your name, that's who you
7:47
That's where you get your light from, it makes sense, you make a mitzvah, you get an award, you get a punishment, that's the system.
7:55
And suddenly you see a wicked person succeeding, a guy getting a lot of money.
8:01
Someone being able to destroy Betamegdash.
8:05
We see that suddenly other things that are anti-godly suddenly gain superiority over what's supposed to be happening.
8:15
happen almost according to nature. Where is that coming from? From the sparks of Tohu. Tohu is the
8:26
disorder in the foundation of the world. God has the infinite life that could express itself suddenly
8:32
now that the wicked will make a lot of money that's an equal suffer. So there's almost like too
8:42
late and they're not like before and after we said that when God created the world it wasn't like
8:47
first he did this then he did that chronologically we're talking more like in in in the level
8:54
which one is superior to what so we have a one-time exception
9:08
okay there's usually a one I'll give an example who the Yitzhak and Rivka had how many kids
9:25
Who were the kids of Isaac and Rebecca and Rivka?
9:31
Twins, Yaakov and Issa.
9:36
Who was born first?
9:39
Born first?
9:40
Yes.
9:41
Born?
9:42
Born.
9:43
Okay, Issa.
9:44
Issa was born first?
9:45
Yes.
9:46
Who became the first born after?
9:48
Yes.
9:49
What does that mean?
9:51
Everything he could live was born.
9:54
Everything you can buy with money. That's what it means. You know what? I think that's a very good lesson
10:00
To grab his legs or what who came out first who came out first that's what happens
10:06
I'll tell you why he's really really the first one
10:10
Russia gives us an example from a tube
10:14
to pebbles in a tube
10:19
The tube is like
10:21
Okay? Like a cup. Now if I put bowl number one in first and then I'm going to put bowl number two.
10:31
Okay? When I take it out, who is going to come out first?
10:44
The second.
10:45
The second. But who came in first?
10:47
The first.
10:48
the first. So whether that's a Jewish excuse that you buy with the money you need a good excuse
10:54
and why really we're... No, but like we'll see that essentially who was conceived first?
11:02
Yaakov and Esa Yaakov was first because if he came out second it means that he was in first
11:10
and then another one came and then when he came out the second one came out first and then the
11:16
the first one came out. You get it? Now especially when it comes with unnot
11:24
similar twins because the twins that are exactly just...
11:31
No, so we always count by who was burned first. But we're talking about that
11:38
spiritually deep inside Yakov was actually the first born. Like first
11:44
first conceit actually when there's twins that are the same that look exactly the
11:49
same any twins here was a twin okay so there's someone that has a twin if they
11:58
exactly the same it means they're both in the same drop and the same egg and
12:02
it's split it's from the same conceiving if it's two separate ones it
12:10
means there were two eggs and two drops of seed and they both conceived that's
12:15
would happen so they could see it separately if it's if they would if
12:20
Yaakov and Issa would be the same there would be a different question I don't
12:23
know if the same example would work but being the word different he was red
12:29
head he was there he was there they were very different so this example fits
12:34
very well he was first he was second then the second came out and then the
12:38
first came out. Yaakov represents Tikkun. Esa represents Tohu. So on a simple level,
13:01
who is the first born? Esa. And a deeper level, who is the first born? Yaakov. So when
13:09
I ask you on a simple level, who is greater? Who has more power? Goyeshkait. You know
13:18
what's Goyeshkite? Goyeshkite is Goyesh, non-Jewish stuff. Goyesh? Goy? Goyeshkite in Yiddish means all
13:27
the non-Jewish stuff. I have videos and tiktok. Goyeshkite, buying fan clothes from designers
13:36
is Goyeshkite. Whatever we're talking about, you know, celebrating non-Jewish things, Goyeshkite,
13:43
watching sports, going to Skype, etc. That's what we defend going to Skype. Trying to make a lot of money.
13:50
So the great waters that could drown the person, the world affairs. If they come from Tohu and
14:01
being a religious Jew comes from Tikkun, which one could overpower who? Who could drown who? Who is stronger?
14:12
The Jew or the waters? No, the waters. Because where is the Jew coming from?
14:21
From Tikkun. From Tikkun.
14:23
But Jew has a spark, what stronger?
14:26
Yeah, but we get there step by step. On a simple level, we observe it in this world almost.
14:34
You look, who is going to drown? The Jew is going to drown. The water is stronger.
14:38
because the water comes from this order they have extra powers who's gonna win
14:47
a normal army or the terrorists what's the difference a normal army needs to
14:53
follow rules you know since after World War two after the Holocaust all the
14:58
governments sit down together in Geneva in Geneva or Versailles there was yeah
15:05
in Geneva and they made the man mills and they made like a rule that we're gonna
15:12
play according to the same rules because otherwise wars are not gonna be fun
15:19
just kidding otherwise the wars are not gonna be fair and not human we could
15:26
are you who is stronger and we could kill each other but we need to have
15:30
rules on how to play the game. Don't be not fair. For example, if someone is
15:38
jumped, if a parachutes, you know, parachutes, little people that like they
15:45
come down with the, you know, that's a parachute? Parachutes that they
15:51
come in. So one of the things you're not allowed to shoot parachutes when
15:54
they're in the air. Why? Because it's not fair.
16:01
He can't protect, he's like in the air.
16:03
Now you say, what do you mean, like, you're jumping into my country to kill me?
16:06
No, no, that's the rule.
16:07
When he lands, let's fight.
16:10
It's like, I'm not...
16:12
It's like, when there's, when there's...
16:14
You're not just killing a soldier if he's not, if he's not armed.
16:17
If I have a soldier and the other soldier is not armed, I'm not allowed to kill you.
16:21
If you have a weapon, I have a weapon, then we could fight.
16:24
If you don't have a weapon, then you're not a threat for me.
16:26
I need to take you as a prisoner.
16:29
And the prisoner, we could exchange.
16:30
whatever there's a lot of rules how we play but there oh one of the things for
16:35
example is you're not allowed to throw bombs that don't have directions called
16:39
mitzrar you know this was now in the last Iran war and Israelis in the crowd
16:44
no Israeli Israelis they were now in Israel what in the last Iran war the
16:51
Iranians threw a new bomb it's a bomb it doesn't have one bomb it's a
16:56
bomb that has a lot of small bombs inside when you throw it it just flies
17:00
everywhere. So you have no idea what you're doing the bomb. You know what I'm saying?
17:07
What? I'm saying last year, it was last year.
17:13
Yeah, whatever was the new thing and like they said, what?
17:18
What? Yeah, cluster bombs, yes. I know if the Russians were not fair, one of them was the cluster bombs, right?
17:28
That is not fair, why? I'm allowed to bomb what I want to bomb, but I'm not allowed to bomb to any direction, because that just kills unnecessary people.
17:38
It means you're not trying to attack me, you're trying to just kill everyone, which is not.
17:46
But the thing is, who could win who? Who's going to tell Iran? Oh, Iran, you're not listening to the rules. They don't care.
17:56
Israel tries to listen to the rules. Iran doesn't. Who has a better chance?
18:05
Technically Iran, according to nature, the terrorists will always be superior because
18:10
they will take a plane and fly into a building. Because what do you mean? Like we'll do whatever
18:17
we want. There's no rule that apply to us. That's Tohu. Tohu there's no rules. The wicked could
18:24
win this, that the righteous are not going to succeed. And there's endless light,
18:28
abundant of light. Tikkun is very systematic, has a functional world. So
18:39
who could win the great waters to drown the Jew or the Jew? Who is stronger? The
18:47
Jew or the great waters of the world that could drown him? The great waters of
18:52
the world. They could drown you. Right? Now it's getting interesting. Now it's
18:59
exciting that now they have an announcement in Shira Shireen. In Shira Shireen,
19:04
Shlomo Amir tells us, oh the waters are not gonna drown you. Now it's interesting.
19:09
That's why. Why is that? Because really deep inside the Jew doesn't just come
19:17
from tohu he comes from in the sorry the Jew doesn't just come from tikkun
19:24
really Yaakov is the first point really who's greater not Esa Yaakov deep inside
19:34
he's the one that is first point it's not revealed but that's how it is
19:38
because before Hashem created these two levels of tohu and tikkun Hashem
19:45
desire to Jew in Beatsmout, exactly in his essence, in Atsmout of himself. Atsmout we
19:58
said comes from the Hebrew word Atsm, so from the essence of Hashem, Hashem wanted the Jew.
20:04
So deep inside, before Tohu even happened, Hashem wanted the Jew. Okay, so far so good?
20:12
So, toh, tikul, tohu, atsmut. So if we look at the world, tohu is superior to tikul,
20:25
Jewish drowning. But when the Jew is connected even higher, and he's connected to atsmut,
20:32
to the essence of Hashem, then toh, you know like we, you survive the waters and you're
20:37
actually stronger and higher than the waters of the world.
20:42
Yaakov Isal. But really Yaakov is higher than Isal. That's the novelty that we're
20:53
trying to say here. And we're going to see this sooner also regarding to Parashat Noch
20:57
what we're going to get. This week we're starting to learn Parashat Noch with a
21:02
big flood and Noch being saved from the ark. So you're going to see how this
21:06
fits perfectly into the Parasha. Okay? And this you could also see based on
21:24
analogy that we said here that the source of the love that is in the soul of the
21:30
Jew, say one second, Rabbi you're telling us that every Jew is so connected to Hashem
21:36
I see so many Jews that are not connected. You don't see it their soul that
21:42
their soul that the Shamai is rooted in Hashem himself. I don't see any
21:50
burning fire so I'm gonna tell you look you don't see flames you know why you
21:59
don't see flames because it's not a revealed fire see we spoke about we
22:06
went here at the beginning three levels of fire fire as in flames flames
22:14
coals one coals are in the barbecue carbon I know it's like I'm saying when
22:30
you have a barbecue and you have the rocks the stones not the stones the
22:34
coal, burning red, you want to barbecue and then you do, and then the fire comes out.
22:46
So we're telling you that the love of the jim to Hashem is what, it's a look, we have
22:50
it in the words of the rabid, the source of the love to God and the godly soul is the
22:55
powerful flame which is connected and hidden in the coal, in the coal, what's stronger?
23:04
The flame that is revealed or the flame that is in the coal, but are you, what
23:11
revealed, but the other one is so strong that all the winds are not going to do anything to it.
23:19
The flame could, what? Maybe the wind will even help. Yeah, interesting analogy, but like let's
23:27
say the coal is going to stay strong, the fire is hidden, but that's how the love of a Jew
23:32
is connected to Hashem. So even if the flame is extinguished, there's no flame, the coal
23:43
is still burning. So I could tell the same about the Jew that even when your love to Hashem is like
23:52
not firing, do you still love God? Is your Neshama still burning? Yes or no?
24:01
Yes. Now what happens if I pour a lot of water on this coal? What's going to happen?
24:07
What's going to happen?
24:09
You're going to go to sleep?
24:11
What's going to happen?
24:13
What's your name?
24:15
Chaya.
24:17
Chaya? Chaya.
24:19
What's going to happen to the coal?
24:21
Chaya?
24:25
If I put a lot of water on the coal.
24:29
Say in French.
24:31
Say in French.
24:39
You have a barbecue.
24:41
You know what barbecue?
24:43
And it has a lot of fire.
24:45
coals a lot of like wood pieces full of fire inside okay and then I bring a lot
24:52
of water and I pour what's gonna happen to the cold is there still gonna be fire
24:59
inside no simple answer fire is gone the coals are gonna burn out so tell me
25:08
rabbi the great waters could win the Jew I'm gonna tell you no deep inside the
25:15
jewels are not like coals, they're like stones. What happens if I have a stone? I have another
25:23
stone and I cling them to each other. What's going to come out? Fire, right? Have you ever tried it?
25:35
You bend the stones together and what comes out? Fire. Now Aviva, if I put the stones in the depth
25:43
of the water. They're gonna be so wet and then we're gonna bend into each other. Is there
25:52
still what is the who's winning the water or the fire? The fire. There's still gonna be a fire even
26:00
though the stone is so wet and it was extended with so much water which means that's called
26:09
the word tsour tsour tzadik vavreish so the word tsour comes in many times i don't know in
26:23
in it's one of ashem's names also in many places tsour israel
26:30
but you're allowed to write it yeah yeah it's not one of the seven
26:34
seven official names tsour is a stone is a rock we say it every day by pray your multiple times
26:46
Let me see where it is, one time off my mind, wait a second.
27:06
Evan is also, it's also, what, Evan is like a stone, super mark, a rock.
27:15
Okay, so, the source of the Jew is connected deep inside by Hashem like a rock.
27:25
That's how deep it is, okay?
27:28
and nothing could happen to the juice soul and even all the waters cannot drown it that was a recap
27:36
this is what we did in chapter three now we're going to continue to the new chapter chapter
27:43
four okay if anyone is missing the copies we have another at least what at least one more copy here
27:51
with me and this and look together now if you remember correct I think you have at least
28:09
try after chapter 3 you can chop the four if not sit next to someone who has it so we
28:19
asked ourselves chapter 4 keeper so do you have one copy at least it looks like this
28:28
Yes, you have Sarah and could you give one to Ariba and Emma?
28:42
When you change your seats, my place is confused.
28:49
Oh, good. Again, your name? Your name was Chaya?
28:56
Chaya and Sarah.
28:58
And your name? Chaya.
29:06
Also Chaya.
29:07
Any other Chayas?
29:12
Yeah, yeah.
29:14
Okay. It's a great name to have.
29:18
so if you remember we asked ourselves okay very nice that the water not gonna
29:26
extinguish the Neshama but why who needs this some could have made different
29:32
things different why did I say make that the waters are gonna be greater I'm
29:39
gonna try to drown the Jew and then the Jew will survive more action seeing I
29:47
said wanted to be a color I said they want to be bored ultimately it's not
30:02
fear that it's just for him, it must be that there is some kind of benefit for us or a benefit for
30:06
the Neshama, some kind of growth, some kind of upgrade that we get through conquering the struggle.
30:21
We're going to see this now inside in chapter 4. The Rebbe will explain that the godly power
30:29
of the Jewish Nishamah overcomes those abandoned waters that these challenges are not just in
30:44
order to burden you rather it's a springboard you know it's a springboard not a springboard
30:52
how do I describe a springboard it's like when you in the Olympics when you are not
30:59
like there's a person who runs, he's running, running, running, running and then he wants
31:05
to jump over a stick. So he has a little like bouncy like this so he goes and then he jumps.
31:17
Was that clear? No one was able to see. There's a little bouncy spring board that's like a
31:23
a trampoline you know what trampoline let's just call it a trampoline he's
31:31
running and then he jumps in and he could jump higher so it's not just that I'm
31:36
putting you something in your way that's something I put in your way is
31:39
actually something could help you get you higher than without it okay so we're
31:45
gonna learn that the great waters the abandoned waters the the struggles that
31:50
And I'm going through our here to help me go higher.
31:54
So, do you wanna start?
31:56
We're gonna go around.
31:56
Each of them will read one piece from chapter four,
31:59
starting with the bold words, not only.
32:03
Chapter four, you have?
32:10
Not only here in the black words.
32:14
I need the infinite world described above not have the capacity to distinguish the love of the spirit.
32:25
Okay, do another one, beyond that?
32:27
We revolve the spirit to it.
32:31
To help the Neshama not just not to suffer, not just not to drown, rather to reach a new level of love to God,
32:44
that you would have not been able to reach without it.
32:47
Okay, so Aviva, this plane. Now plane in English also means level, not just Matos, it also means a plane, level.
33:17
Okay, we're seeing that through the Neshama going down, the send, if you want to write English translation, the send means going down.
33:26
the descent of the Nishamah from being by God down to this world, it must be an investment.
33:33
You know what's an investment? Why do people invest money to get more money? If I give
33:41
you a hundred dollars as an investment, you go, you do business and you give me back
33:46
a hundred dollars. Was this a good investment? Why not?
33:51
First of all it's good because I got my $100 back, if I could have come back with 80.
33:57
So if I gave you $100, you went, you invested, you sold and you gave me back $100, was it
34:03
worth it?
34:04
No.
34:05
No.
34:06
When Hashem sends down the Nishamah to this world and the Nishamah will work and do
34:10
and will get the same level before, was that a good investment?
34:17
If Hashem sends down to this world and Neshama and after the Neshama will work in this world
34:25
the Neshama will come back to the same level like before, not a good investment.
34:31
Because why do we create the world, take the Neshama down for 70, 80, 90 years, work
34:37
hard, do mitzvot and the Neshama comes back to the same place, waste of time, waste
34:43
of energy, waste of real estate, you know, it must reach through these abandoned waters
34:53
a higher level than the ranget occupied before it came down.
34:59
There must be a certain ROI, it's called in English, R-O-I, return on investment.
35:10
They say, how much money did you make on what you invested?
35:16
This is the investment of the hundred dollars.
35:19
The return must be, let's say, plus 20.
35:23
That's a good investment.
35:24
20% a year.
35:27
Pretty good.
35:28
No, the S&P gives eight.
35:30
Nine.
35:31
This is a little more solid.
35:35
If you didn't understand what I said, it's also fine.
35:38
Emma.
35:39
This is...
35:40
This is the ultimate intent of the existence of the infinite water.
35:44
This is why they exist.
35:48
Why do the waters exist? Ask them why do they exist?
35:52
They're going to tell you for what?
35:56
Emma, for what do they exist? For this reason they ultimately
36:00
No, before that. Why do they exist? What's the ultimate
36:04
intent? To help you reach higher. To help you
36:12
you go higher. Why do you bother the Jew? What's gonna be the answer? Very good to help
36:22
you go higher, very good. We mentioned that once that in the Zohar, there's an example
36:28
from a prostitute. You know what's a prostitute? I know it's a prostitute in French. Yeah,
36:38
Exactly. So they're like what are you talking about? Like unexpected. Long story short, there is the Zohar says...
36:50
He wanted you to understand. I just wanted to get the attention.
36:54
No.
36:55
There was a king and the king had a great son and the son he wanted to test him.
37:02
he wanted to know if he's gonna be a good a good king instead after him so he gave
37:09
the son a bag full of gold and he sent him to a specific place and over there
37:14
he paid a harlot which is a nice award for prostitutes paid her a lot of money
37:22
to seduce his son to do everything she can for the son to fail now the
37:30
question is the following what does the prostitute want the son to fail or the
37:37
son to not be with him no then she's not gonna do her then she doesn't do her
37:43
mission well what does she want she wants him to she wants him to fail she
37:53
wants him she wants to do her job properly right otherwise she's not
37:57
That's not fair to the king.
38:00
He paid her, she needs to do her job.
38:03
But really deep inside, what does she want?
38:06
She loves the king and she wants the king to be proud of his son, so she doesn't want
38:13
the son to fail.
38:14
But it doesn't mean that she will not do her job right, you're right.
38:26
So basically you say that everything what you see in the material is one big process.
38:38
Okay, if you say so here, it's opposite than the spirit of everything what is lower here, it's higher there.
38:48
You're technically right, you're technically right.
38:51
But more than this, for this reason, and I look inside, for this reason, they ultimately do not have the power to extinguish the love to God that exists within a person's soul.
39:01
Because what does the water want? To shut you or not to shut you? No, to not shut you. It wants to elevate you.
39:10
It wants you to not drown. To go higher, to overcome it and succeed.
39:17
When I ask you a question that I want you to fail or they want you to answer it right
39:22
I want you to be able to answer it right so if the challenge is there to help you
39:29
grow and
39:30
When you know that this is the reason of the challenge when you notice the reason for the challenge
39:38
You're not gonna get scared of the great waters that are coming
39:43
Because you know they're not going to be able to hit to actually hurt you or harm you
39:50
Because also they only want if the son would know that the that the harlot was hired by his father
39:58
It would be much easier
40:00
Because he would know that really she also doesn't want me to go so it's an it's a new it's a new discovery
40:22
Until now we said why can't the great waters?
40:27
extinguish you the love
40:29
Because Yunish Shammai is so high, right? We said T'u, Tikkun, T'u and At-smut.
40:36
The systematic way for the world, the mess endless light for the world, and Hashem himself.
40:42
We said that the Jew versus world, the world wins.
40:45
But because the Jew is rooted by Hashem himself, then he has stronger powers.
40:50
Because Yuli Yaakov is higher than Asav.
40:53
Over here we say a different reason why the water is not going to drown you.
40:56
drown you because the waters themselves don't want to drown you. The waters don't
41:04
want you to drown because they have a mission and the mission is to help you
41:08
go higher. That's why the going will never be able to extinguish the Jews.
41:16
They have the power to kill, hurt, bother, annoy, charge, expel, do a lot of
41:27
things. Hashem never gave you the right to extinguish Jewish people. So they
41:33
themselves cannot. It's part of who they are because they're commissioned for a certain job
41:43
and they cannot do beyond that. Let's continue just the last words of the of the Rabbi here.
41:54
Look on the flip page for this reason the ultimate they do not have the power to
41:57
extinguish the love to God. We flip the page and we continue with the bold words because the
42:03
ultimate profound intent of these abandoned waters is to bring about an increase in the
42:09
Jews love to God. That's the profound intent of the Abundant Waters. Increase
42:29
his growth, grow, go up, have more. So it's not just because you have such a
42:41
high Neshama, you're not gonna drown in the world. And talking about it
42:46
practically, imagine the Jew who's overwhelmed from his business. He
42:50
doesn't have money. He's on his way to the bank. He's stressed out. He's
42:55
busy. He can't do anything. He doesn't find time to study Torah, to do
42:59
meets both and he feels like soon he's gonna forget that he's Jewish. It's like
43:04
there's too much going on. Way too much. He doesn't find time for anything. So number one
43:10
you need to remember whatever's gonna happen, I'm a Jew and I have a God
43:16
who's parking me. Even if the fire is not revealed the fire is like in a coal
43:20
and if not in a coal it's like in a stone deep inside this for sure fire.
43:25
a lock to our shaman even if all the waters will drown me there's a deep
43:32
inside is a godly spark of fire in me that's number one imagine you you find
43:38
yourself at 5 a.m. being a garbage collector in the snowy day where are
43:44
you and where is your passion for our shaman there's a spark you know the
43:49
deep inside you're connected number two you need to look at the challenge
43:57
And you almost could laugh at the challenge and say like Hashem you're funny and like it's like
44:02
You know, I see it. I see straight through it. I
44:07
Know you're not actually trying to bother. So you know what I'm gonna do
44:11
I'm not I'm just gonna ignore you
44:14
I'm gonna ignore the challenge
44:17
Not ignore, but I'm gonna remember there was once and with that will finish
44:21
There was once here somewhere in Cronheit's who had a had a supermarket and he closed it down
44:24
He was it didn't have a job
44:27
And he was looking for a job and the next time I was that those as I was in Coler in the
44:34
In the in the yeshiva
44:36
Used to come every morning to study for three four hours
44:40
Every morning, you know like I think like night 8 a.m. To 12 or one you should sit and learn Torah
44:47
After what are you doing like we don't have it says yes. I don't have a job right now. I could sit and learn I
44:52
I told him, but he had to bring a living.
44:55
He says, yes, it's a challenge and I don't know what Hashem's solution is.
44:59
I'm diligent and I'm going and I'm applying for jobs and I'm thinking of business ideas.
45:04
But right now I'm not going into the job and I know that Hashem is testing me.
45:08
Now I sit and learn Torah.
45:11
It was like he could either drown or he could realize that the challenge is not a real
45:16
challenge.
45:17
Hashem has a plan for you how to get out of this.
45:22
So there's two ways. Either you buy into the illusion or you see through it and you grow
45:29
from it. See, oh, you're trying to drown me. I'm going to show you what's going to happen.
45:33
I'm really in charge. I know that really what you want is to me to study Torah. And by the
45:44
way, it's a good tip for life. Whenever you have trouble, start doing something holy
45:48
and you're going to see that everything is going to resolve. If you wait on the
45:50
line for the phone call, you know, I know you will try to change your airline ticket
45:54
and you're waiting for an hour start learning Torah you're gonna see their
45:57
answer right away because you're like oh they're distracting me from learning
46:05
Torah yes study Torah you'll see that they're gonna
46:09
stop that they're gonna realize that it's not working
46:14
and so on and so forth and to continue tomorrow we'll dive more into
46:20
what really is the upgrade that we gained through this
