Koil Yisroil 5733
RESURRECTION
Every Jew will be resurrected.
TORAH/MITZVOS
Just as we have a body and soul, so the Torah – the body is the Mitzvos, the Torah is the soul.
MITZVOS
Mitzvos are sourced in God’s desire (while Torah is simply their clarification.)
GOD’S LOVE
The truest love of God is not for your soul, but for your body (you.)
REVELATION (SOUL/YOU)
When Moshiach comes we will learn who our soul is (namely God.)
Lihavin Inyan 5746
MITZVOS
Whoever does Mitzvos is called a Tzaddik.
IDENTITY
When we do a Mitzvah (goodness/kindness) this fills us.
REVELATION (JEW)
Beyond the reward for doing Mitzvos which will happen when Moshiach comes, will be the revelation of who a Jew is (namely in essence/manifestation God.)
SEEING GOD
In the times of Moshiach, the infinity of God – a manifestation or a result of the Mitzvos we have done, (which draws it into our world) will be evident.
GOD’S PLEASURE
The highest future (in Moshiach) pleasure will be, from how much pleasure, God simply – based on his unconditional love to us – gets.
ASCENDING
When Moshiach comes – we will reach a state whereby instead of having to leave our previous existence (in order to ascend) we can do so (simultaneously.)
Vayomer Yehonasan 5728
HUMILITY
Through humility we create Divinity.
JEWS
Through the Jewish peoples’s long bitter exile, in which they role-modeled ethical behavior – hence spreading Divine ethics – this caused them to be chosen.
HUMILITY
Even our humility is actually Divinely ordained.
MAMMORIM
When the Rebbes said Mammorim was Divinely ordained.
EMOTIONS
The Divine soul comes into our animal soul in order to rectify our emotions.
EMOTIONS
The idea of Sefiras Ha-omer is that we need to refine our animal (soul’s) emotions.
REFINEMENT
Through refining our emotions – we refine the nations.
REWARD
Through elevating the nations, we (in the times of Moshiach) will receive from God (spiritual and physical) abundance.
MOSHAICH (ABUNDANCE)
When Moshiach comes, we will literally be fabulously wealthy – and this wealth will contribute to our fabulous spirituality.
Hashamayim Cisi 5736
REVELATION VS HUMILITY
The greatest revelations to the greatest angels are nothing – it is precisely in nothing (humility) that there is G-d.
FAITH/HUMILITY
Faith and humility are the foundation.
FAITH/HUMILITY
There are two types of faith/humility – that which comes from being in awe, and that which comes, like Moses (whose mind was extraordinary, which is why precisely he realized – as many great scientists, such as Einstein) that G-d is infinite (hence all else relative, insignificant.)
GaN Naol 5747
There are two stages in the engagement of the Jews – as we know, it states, that the giving of the Torah is the engagement – now just like an engagement is an external union, while intimacy follows marriage – similarly, is the difference between the pre / post Messianic age – this intimacy is whereby, not only does one, after rejecting (much like the process of engagement) all other (desires) but furthermore, this becomes, one’s soul/sole.
Daber 5721
ESSENCE
The essence (of God and a person) is holy.
SINS
Even sins – as all is pre-designed (so though they disobey G-d) they lead man – through Teshuvah/repentance – closer.
DESTINY (WHY BAD)
Just as we see that though the brothers of Yosef literally meant for his death – nonetheless, as it was predestined, it was the catalyst for not only not his death, but to become literally the Prime-Minister – similarly any evil.
SOUL
The purpose of why the soul – literally part of God, descends into your body – is to help refine you (allowing you to become one.)
MAKE YOUR SOUL HAPPY
As the soul is literally part of God, and as it descends to assist you – hence whenever you engage in good things (Torah and Mitzvos etc.) you cause it incredible joy.
COMPASSION
Worse than doing evil (motivated say by anger – jealousy) is lacking compassion.
SINS
The only reason you sinned (for as all is predestined, its inner intent) Teshuva (coming closer.)
TZADDIKIM
Tzaddikim cause the Dirah Bitachtoinim (God to come to us.)
JEWS
Every Jew is a Tzaddik.
HUMILITY
Humility is not that you don’t know your greatness, but that you don’t assume your greatness is yours.
HUMILITY
Higher than humility (which as explained above, is knowing that though you are great, it comes from beyond) is actually feeling like nothing (or insignificant.)
Shir Hamalois 5732
RASHBI
Rabbi Shimoin Bar Yochai was the source of the soul (of Torah.)
UNITY
The only way to Jewish unity – the study of Chassidus.
CHASSIDUS
The study of Chassidus must not be cerebral – it must fully embody (penetrate to the extent of causing a new person.)
Lehavin Inyan Rashbi 5745
RASHB”I
Rabbi Shimoin Bar Yochai was one (with God.)
CHASSIDUS
The main reason we study Chassidus (Kabbalah) is to manifest ever higher (light.)
CHASSIDUS / RABBI SHIMOIN BAR YOCHAI
Rabbi Shimoin Bar Yochai not only broke the divide between the inner and outer Torah, but unified them.
PRAYER
The reason prayer works (for one may assume, why would an infinite God care…) is because so did the infinite God choose.
GOD/YOU
Because God chooses us, therefore we truly matter (to Him.)
OVERCOMING
As God desires the joy from our growth, hence his greatest joy is when we overcome (our darkest darkness.)
RABBI SHIMOIN BAR YOCHAI
The idea of Rabbi Shimoin Bar Yochai is to bring the highest light to even the lowest.
Pasach Rabbi Shimoin 5734
INNER/OUTER
There is generally outer and inner – the outer reflects the bond of two things that are not intrinsically bonded (says clothing and you) inner is an intrinsic bond say between a parent and child – similarly in our heart we have the outer heart – those things we desire (yet don’t reflect us) and those things that do (now as this relates to God – there is the love of God, for what he does, and then there is the fact that my soul is!)
JEW/GOD/TORAH
When the Jew is one with God, then the Torah comes (through.)
