  In the same way that the kohanim who ate from the sacrifices in
• 0:07
  the temple waiting from holy food, the food and drink of the
• 0:10
  Holy person is elevated and is considered as if it had actually
• 0:14
  been sacrificed on the altar. As the rabbi said, if one brings
• 0:18
  a gift to a scholar, it's as if his offer up the Bakr, mm, the
• 0:23
  first fruits in the temple, in the place of libation, of the
• 0:27
  water or the wine offerings. Let him fill the throat of the
• 0:30
  scholars with wine demeaning here is not that scholar should
• 0:33
  lost Latins to fill their throats with food and drink.
• 0:37
  No. If they're holy that I'm going
• 0:39
  to be doing that at all. Everything is Everything they do
• 0:42
  physically. If the holy is literally
• 0:44
  comparable to the based on macduff and the service on them
• 0:48
  is back on the altar. That there was done back in
• 0:51
  Temple Times, they're consuming, the food is similar to the
• 0:54
  offering of the sacrifice on the altar.
• 0:58
  In accordance with this view. Anything at all which is made
• 1:00
  use of them, it's also elevated. It has a Holiness that's why you
• 1:07
  can understand why some people are very keen to drink from a
• 1:12
  cup wine. Let's say for Kiddush that has
• 1:15
  been used by a holy person, maybe is drunk from or to have
• 1:18
  food has been eaten as part of its been eaten as leftovers from
• 1:23
  a holy person because that food itself is elevated.
• 1:25
  It's transformed, its on a physical level, it resembled
• 1:29
  ordinary food but actually you know, you would barbecue a steak
• 1:33
  or take one off the bit off the altar in the base humming
• 1:35
  daughter, probably look the same, but there's A whole world
• 1:40
  of difference between something that's been elevated through
• 1:42
  Holiness. And something that's just been
• 1:44
  put on that to fill the bellies of gluttons.
• 1:52
  So, what's the claw I shall do. So, in summary at this point
• 1:55
  Holiness consists in one's clinging so closely to his God
• 1:59
  that in any deed, he might perform.
• 2:00
  He does not depart or move from Hashem until the physical
• 2:03
  objects of which he makes used become more elevated because of
• 2:06
  his having used them. That's an incredible concert
• 2:10
  that we get, we're capable of doing.
• 2:15
  But this lofty levels only true of people who are totally
• 2:17
  connected, they're like angels. He speaks to us in the first
• 2:23
  person, I have already indicated.
• 2:25
  The one cannot accomplish this by himself, unless the weight
• 2:27
  can himself to it and strive for it.
• 2:30
  But first, he must have attained all of the noble trait.
• 2:34
  Previously mentioned, yikes. From the beginning of what
• 2:37
  trailers, until the fear of sin only in this way.
• 2:40
  Will he arrive at Holiness and succeed in it for if he lacks
• 2:42
  anything before? And he's got imperfections and
• 2:47
  that's going to get in the way. The Xylo.
• 2:50
  You craft something that's not on that level.
• 2:52
  Shouldn't get close. but, if after, Having undergone all of
• 2:59
  the preparations. He pursues Holiness with strong
• 3:04
  love and a great fear. And contemplating the greatness
• 3:09
  of Hashem. And His Majesty.
• 3:11
  He will separate themselves little by little from Earthly
• 3:14
  considerations. And it all his actions and
• 3:18
  movements will direct his heart to the intimacy of true
• 3:22
  communion until there is conferred upon him a spirit from
• 3:25
  on high. And I shall not want to dwell
• 3:28
  with him, he will then be an actuality like an angel of
• 3:32
  Hashem and all of his actions, even the lowest physical ones
• 3:35
  will actually be considered to be like sacrifices.
• 3:40
  So what can help us? What assists one towards the
• 3:43
