Yesterday we were learning in this the speech that Lich rebbi gave in 1991 and it’s a speech that talks about France and how we can see that the world is ready for msia because France has been refined France used to be the Bastion the foundation for Atheism in the world
France used to be the the power and example of how to get along in the world without God or even more that it’s good to get along in the world without God God is just like a like a ballast what do they call it it’s s of this big
Weight on your rocks or something you’re just carrying around for absolutely no reason that’s what France taught and especially there was Napoleon Napoleon he sort of began the whole thing he knocked down the Kings he separated the church from the state and Etc so that there wouldn’t be any
Mention of God and of course anybody wanted to be religious could be but ideally you’d be like Napoleon and you wouldn’t have any belief in anything except for yourself and the whole world agreed with Napoleon and the first reev ofab vehemently opposed Napoleon and in the end he won and not
Only did he win but France today is in many ways the opposite of what Napoleon Invision invisioned Napoleon had this vision of a world where there would be no God it’s like this what is this Beetle song Imagine no God no no everybody’s just on their own
Own you’re just on your own which is total chaos you know no money no anything we saw how it worked with Communism no money everybody just does what they want to this the whole you know woke movement Today so you see this total chaos and total Destruction I mean especially you see today that all these woke guys they all suddenly they agree with the Palestinians who want to kill them they want to kill just basically everybody so you see the whole thing is just convoluting on itself it’s it’s very
Sort of ugly to see but so but nevertheless let’s look at the good the good is is that the world is changing and the world is ready for mashiah and now which all the we see all these terrible bad things in the world is the bad is just floating to the
Surface now it’s being very very clear who is good and who is evil but it’s very very clear that the terrible things that the the the Hamas did and if you heard even a little bit of what they did it’s just even to hear about it is
Enough to keep you awake in the night that you can’t go to sleep that the human beings could actually do these things that they did you know with with rape and murder and torture and and just you know and and the happiness that they had doing it and they filmed it and and
You know there’s absolutely no excuse for it no excuse for and and the world agrees with them so we see that it seems that the world is is descending says the Reb it’s not so the fact of the matter is that the world is ascending and all the bad is
Just coming clear it’s becoming clear right all the the people in the world that hated the Jews when the Nazis were killing them and they were quiet they didn’t say anything right all England and all these places they were all quiet now they’re not quiet anymore now all the people who
Hate the Jews are coming out and they’re saying it revealed so that the bad is coming to the surface but the good is healing from inside and that’s the whole idea of what’s going on in France France is where you can see it let’s see where are we now where are
We the main completion of this refinement of the world in a settled way and in a way that the identity of everyone actually changes one second am I recording yes yes yes yes yes yes way of that not only are is Judaism just holding its own it’s surviving but it’s actually spreading
Out it’s in our generation Al by means of by means of the previous and here’s a picture here we go picture of the previous R yose maybe there’s another picture over here could be not necessary here this is a good picture picture one second I went to the wrong
Place there we go I share that in addition that he was in France many times and he also spoke words of over there but he also sent emissaries from among the that they lived there for many years in France and they did their service learning Torah and spreading out Judaism we talked
About this yesterday sent also to Morocco to save the Jews over there from the French influence the alliance education and also he sent also and he he sent letters to people in France in France and also there the they PR prepared many things for printing like it says come upon like it said
Theab the there was he brought to be printed things which were previously only written handwritten by the rebes and this when they were printed they reached re got many many people many many People that it was available to many people the writings of the rebi when it’s printed which is not the case kav when they’re Handwritten only certain people can read things that are printed and not only that how many copies can you print can you write out right a very limited number and in a printing let’s you work you have 500 and they’re all writing down what it’s written and they were let’s say
Every day they can finish 10 10 so you have 5,000 copies let’s say and a printing press they can print 5,000 copies in a couple of hours the the rebi took many writings handwritten writings that were written in and he took them to FR them printed out in France that everyone can read
It especially when something new is printed not just printing things that were were written handwritten especially dear M that arouses Sak curiosity in the nature of a person a new thing comes out in addition to many things in the Torah which were originated there in France and afterwards they were brought to be
Printed so what’s the ri saying the re saying France suddenly becomes a source of the Torah and is unimportant as you might think the Torah is or as unimportant as you might think that the Jewish people are because from the millions of books in the world the Torah
Is just one know even though it’s the most popular book they say in in the world but not the Torah and its original but it’s it’s popular good but the fact is is that in France it certainly was not popular and the rebi made it that it is and not only that but
Also commentaries on the Torah and commentaries on how the Torah affects our life they have been printed over in France and brought to to the market that it could be sold the public in general Paul in France there was a a purification and a refinement in a way
Of by means of being in France and going according to the customs of France that did not interfere with doing Torah and Commandments it wasn’t against the Torah but speaking the language Etc from the fear of God they in order Le to bring about a Bure a refinement but of
P Not Just Like a Stranger but from the inside that it was acceptable that a French Jew could be a religious Jew except a French Jew could do Torah and Commandments in a happy way to actually believe in God this totally broke through the the the the how do you say
The the supposed culture of France and gave the power to break and transform France the K of kppa of France to be a holy Place how was this brought to an actual Revelation by means of the previous laab rebi and especially when the previous Rabbi came to
America what called to the lower bottom half of the world the half where the Torah was not given the Torah was given in the in the upper half was called where Israel is and Europe and those places that’s where the Torah that’s called the upper half of the world and the lower half
Is America oh not going goes without saying Australia but in the area where the Torah was not given it’s called the bottom part of the world the yesam and the the from America the previous rebi founded over there in France and other institutions and he sent over their emissaries in order to
Dwell there and to build more institutions and to spread out Torah and Judaism in general and especially Roan like we can see clearly and especially in the last years the re speaking in 1992 at the the tremendous success the Kalos and everything of spread out Torah and Judaism and mayote
The Wellsprings outward in France but old medas and other countries and away that continues and makes more and more light away in addition to the fact that the N Dano that the leader of Our Generation was the previous laab Shi gave the power to draw Holiness into the lowest part of the
World only in way that Holiness is drawn down from this place namely what’s the second place not directly in France but from America to France the place where the rebi was found this gave the power in this place this became the source of the Tor France became the source of
Torah by means of founding over there all the of just like it was in in the beginning like it is a thing in itself and you then after that in France they don’t have to have an influence from anywhere else that France becomes like America that’s what theed said to one of
His that wanted to go to Israel he said make here Israel make here Israel luich was in in bellarus whatever in the white Russia and the Ukraine whoever it was what does it mean make care Israel Lich is certainly not Israel says but the point of the matter is what is
Israel supposed to be the place where God is revealed the place where you feel that there’s a Creator and that there the Torah is the purpose of creation you feel it if you want to really go to the land of Israel so first of all you should make Israel where you are and
Then you’ll appreciate Israel when you go to Israel the job of the Messiah is to bring bring the Jewish people into actual physical land of Israel but in order to do that first of all you have to make Israel where you are and that’s done by means of the
Teachings of and we see the example that this is possible and that it’s not only possible but it’s actual is France France was the ultimate oppos opposite of Torah and Commandments and God and we see that there is a place where Torah and Commandments of God are
Not only existing but also spreading out and in addition to that M peing they also print over there in France peace in in the past also words of Torah revealed Torah hidden Torah in generally new ideas in Torah and you say new in In you say in Inspirations of Torah there’s a better word for that okay in the new out looks at the Torah some the word skip my mind zish this stresses how that France has become a source of Torah for the whole entire world that other people actually
Receive Torah that are printed in France and they’re able to learn these letters that make you wise and by the way people asked yesterday about the what about the Pags in France if you look up in Google you look up expulsion from France so you see that the France probably had more
Expulsions than any other place I they were expelled in this year I don’t remember the number of the years but they were expelled here and they were expelled there and they were expelled and 12 this and 11 this and 10 this and they were expelled from this
City and from that City and then there there’s also decrees put on front you have to remember in those days also it was the church was very dominant and the church really hated the Jews and for some reason the Jews just refused to convert they couldn’t you know the churches couldn’t figure them
Out so it’s true that Rashi and those people they were in France but it was only brief you know times respites of you know anti-Semitism and then they had to move from here and move from there like I said before that what is done now there in France they revealed Theos and
Because because of the efforts that was put in to France by the previous in the Years preceding this because he was the leader of the generation and he was the N is everything and the rebi said many times that the previous rebi he was the Messiah he the Messiah and the REI said
I’m just I’m just carrying out his I’m just you know carrying out his orders he’s the rebi the previous laab rebbi he’s the one like I showed you the picture right he’s he’s really now the previous laab rebbi he sat in prison in Russia and according to what the rebi
Says that he was the force our Reby that he was the force that put the first crack in the Iron Curtain and that caused the Iron Curtain to totally fall wasn’t 1990s 1991 it totally fell because of what the previous revi did in 1927 that he sat in prison and he
Suffered there for you know the time that he suffer suffered almost a month old and that uh in that time that broke the spirit of Communism communism was basically the same thing as as Napoleon basically it was common communism means everybody’s equal there’s Brotherhood there’s fraternity there’s equality right
Everybody works for the for the good of the the of the the community of all mankind it says that the previous the first Reby he broke the power of Napoleon the previous rebi he broke the power of Communism that’s not we’re talking about here but he also broke the power he
Began to break the power the atheistic certainty of France to the point where France not only is judis Judaism surviving but it also is spreading out Judaism spreading out Judaism for there I toor because the previous rebi he is the leader of Our Generation call them the leader is
Everything he gives the power to every single person of his generation which is me and you and Order go there in order the fo to bring about a refinement in not just Russia or France but the whole entire world also in the lowest of Low Places I mean we see that the previous
Rebi that the fact that he broke the power of Communism that’s what the rebi said he broke the power of Communism even though it only became revealed like you know 60 years later or whatever but nevertheless he broke that power of Communism and now we see that in communist Russia that religion is
Flourishing before it was forbidden religion and Judaism is also flourishing right religion in general is you believe that there’s God at least you’re in the right direction and Judaism is also flourishing over there in Russia there the kabad houses in Russia are you know bringing Jews out of
The darkness the Jews there they don’t even know they’re Jews ad tell a place that in this place is revealed the essence itself in these places the essence of Judaism is revealed in in France and one many ways France was worse than than communist Russia communist Russia at least they sort of
Kept to themselves even though communist was spread out all over the place but the idea France was the idea he actually conquered the world he he actually went out and physically went and conquered not just sent his you know Commandos or whatever it is start revolutions he the Napoleon actually conquered these places
Me huge Wars I don’t know how many people were killed Millions for sure and his goal to actually physically take over the world and spread atheism and he lost and who did he lose to to kabad and now to the point where we see that actually in France that this is the
Example of Messiah that not only does the world not oppose God but it also starts to reveal God ideas of Torah and the Commandments are coming from France now we can say this thing especially these two topics we’re talking about namely refining the lower World in a way
That the world remains a lower world but it doesn’t have an effect on bad on us the world doesn’t dominate us but on the other hand maybe we can even say we dominate the world but nevertheless the world Still Remains a world and the other one is is revealing the essence in
The physical world the physical world itself starts to announce the Creator it becomes itself a source this mumas this is hinted it also on the word Sarat the word Sarat the word Sarat France is Sarat the word Sarat remember the rebi took this from this prophecy ofad that we read
About last week in in Shabbat that even France will become refined is from the language of refinement this is the idea ofu means to be refined and to be clarified and another word for refined purified it says regarding to the future generation what does it say and the
Future Redemption I’m sorry what does it say this is in Daniel right Daniel right in the end of Daniel here 45 45 in Daniel right you in chapter you based in Daniel from this the rebi also learned that now that all these bad things terrible things are happening in the world
Robin that all the bad things that are happening in the world is because the bad is coming to the surface bad is coming to the surface I just saw somebody sent me a video that in the universities in America Colombia Harvard these places it’s okay to say
Kill all the Jews it’s all it’s all right it’s all right to do first they were just talking about the Israelis and the Israel then they started saying then get rid of clean out Israel you know clean out Israel which means you know no get rid of the Jews and now they’re just
Saying kill all the Jews and there’s a lot of Jews that are saying it also it’s pretty pretty crazy the whole thing is crazy anyway so they had a a hearing in the Senate and they got that the presidents of these universities and they said in your University is is it
Okay to say that all the Jews should be killed what do you say and they asked of Harvard I think and of what is it Colombia something anyway they said and say yes or no and they would not say no they wouldn’t say it’s it’s forbidden they wouldn’t say it’s
Forbidden is it permissible to say these things and they wouldn’t say no they wouldn’t say it’s it’s forbidden if it brings to actual action if it brings but you can say yeah I mean stand up in these places and say you know kill all the you know X fill it in
Whatever you want all all the Indians all the blacks all the the the Mexicans all the you can’t say anything like that but the Jews is okay why is it why all sudden the Jews are okay what’s the difference between the Jews and everybody else so the
Answer is very clear the Jews are God’s people and people don’t like God people don’t like to be told what to do people want to feel autonomous it says that it’ll be purified because the fact of the matter is I mean these people have a good point
You know who wants to be told what to do that’s if God doesn’t exist but if God does exist and he really doesn’t it’s to everybody’s benefit to to act according to the manufacturer’s instructions right even though it might be against human nature so that’s what it means in the
Future it says yeor will be purified and clarified and what is it and refined many the multitudes sh that the future Redemption this comes by means of by means of of separating and refining the whole entire world separating the bad from the good in a way of like how do you say
Um I guess is like humorous but not humorous in a way of of imaginary ISAT Sarat like how do you say a in um a light way you know not heavy if you take the number the value is the numerical value of 770 77 now 770 happens to be the address
Of the kabad headquarters and the previous rebi he chose that place 77 the Eastern Parkway so 77 that’s the address just happens to be the address just you know no intention they didn’t change it or something like that in in Kanan Israel they built a replica of the
Headquarters of the rebi here and they put on the outside 770 it’s not 77 there’s no it’s just on a hill alone there’s no 771 or 772 right they just put something but in America it’s not that way in America there’s the next door neighbor is 772 or
Whatever it is 774 it’s it’s a series of numbers right it’s a series of numbers that goes you know below to above and 770 happens to be the but it ends up that it’s not so happen stance as we think Sarat France the word Sarat is the
Numerical value of 770 here sadic is 90 re is 200 we have 290 pay is 80 that’s 370 and tough is 400 that’s 770 the number 770 itself shows on a certain type of a of a magical number how it’s the completion of the number where is it the
Completion here we go here we go it’s the completion of the number seven how we see seven we have 10 * 7 and 100 time 7 100 time 7 is 700 and 10 * s is 70 this is the completion the wholesome is filling up the number
Seven how each one unit is included from 10 that’s 70 and how each unit is included from 100 700 also both them together both of them together both of them together 770 yes we can say that this number H said now what’s the big deal about number seven seven is the number that
God created the world he created the world in seven days he could have created the world in one instant but seven is a special number and it corresponds to What’s called the seven emotions of God and correspondingly to the seven emotions inside of every human being we made in
God’s image that’s another meaning of God’s image this hint that shall that when is refined these countries also there’s the 70 Nations the 70 nations of the world when there’s refined the 70 when there’s refined these 70 there is completed the refinement of all of the world that was created in seven days
And all of its details so there’s 70 Nations I guess these are like the core nations in the world and the world was created into seven in seven days so that’s the idea of time and of soul and of place that refines all of the details
Of the world and even more 770 this is a number of the house the address of this of the previous laab rebi that’s 77 par that’s the headquarters ofad a that’s where the previous rebi lived he used to live in the second floor and did his service in the last 10
Years when he was in this physical world in America which is the lower half of hemisphere of the world opposite of where the Torah was given so the last 10 years the first 10 years that the previous rebi was that was in Russia and the second 10 years
That was in Poland and the third 10 years altogether was Reby for 30 years is in America what we can say this hints at the whole idea of the second thing we said before in birau in refining the world Nosa in addition to refining the physical world what do we say there was
Two two aspects of refining the world number one is that the world we control is controlled by Holiness and the other one that the world itself becomes holy and this is talking about the world itself becomes a holy place not just that the the lower worlds become ruled by the upper
Worlds right that things go the world goes according to conscience and values Godly values but even more that the world become one with the essence that’s what it means that the world becomes 77 the house itself became 770 that this place this building Hab at the house which was a normal house Not
Only was it the house where the rebbi lived but the house itself became a source of Holiness like France did this is the house of the rebi of the leader of the generation makoro this is he’s the source of spreading out the Wellsprings out in the time to all the four corners
Of the world now we have to a little bit appreciate what’s going on over here like we said before the tremendous importance of Judaism I I just want to stress I mean I’ve said this before but I want to say it again you know I was not always
Religious I’m a Jew but I was religious and I was in university I graduated University and I was a a rock and roll singer if you want to call it and I sang in different bars and I had a job in the daytime driving this truck and I had
Absolutely zero connection with anything Jewish except that I knew I was Jewish but my friends weren’t Jewish maybe one by accident or something and it meant absolutely nothing in fact being Jewish meant less than perhaps anything in the world perhaps less than anything in the world you know other people they had
Their religions whatever so they went to church they did something right I never this synagogue I went from my B Mitzvah I didn’t understand what was going on and I didn’t care what was going on I had no care whatsoever and there were no particular rituals or anything that I
Did absolutely no connection whatsoever like I say perhaps the most meaningless thing in the world to me was Judaism even though I knew I was a Jew I knew there was such a thing but it it didn’t mean anything and then I went to a lecture
And I don’t want to go into details and the professor it was a well-known professor and he said a an anti-semitic statement he said the only thing bad in the world are are the the Jews the theistic Jews whatever he said and suddenly I thought what in the world is
He talking about Jews for I thought Jews I don’t even know what it is and he’s saying that they’re bad you know even if you just just mention them you know Jews mention them in like the same breath as the you know the people from from who knows from
Ireland or something like that Jews that also would have amazed me because it was so unimportant suddenly all of a sudden Jew was it was like a an issue it was that was the issue by him he was saying that’s the only thing that’s bad in the world is the
Jews and so I suddenly realized you know what is this Judaism and this professor was very very welln and he was very very influential at least at the time and so and oh he he is that’s all he can talk about as the Jews and suddenly I realized maybe Jews are
Really important maybe there’s something into this maybe there’s something you know maybe it’s the most important thing in the world maybe it is maybe this professor is totally wrong and he think it’s the worst thing in the world because it’s the most important thing in the world and it’s opposite
What he thinks anyway so that that started the whole ball ball rolling till I saw theab rebi and I said that’s it so true it’s very misunderstood but the idea is is to make Judaism yes understood and even by the Jews it’s misunderstood to make Jud judism yes
Understood that we our purpose is to reveal the Creator in the creation and not just the whole world should know that there’s a Creator and that they should be in awe of the Creator they should take the Creator into mind or they should pay more attention to their conscience Etc
No but the world itself should be a showcase for the Creator everybody should show w God is good look he created people like this he created good things he we can add on that is found also in this whole idea of when a Jew a religious Jew is in a country it should
Go according to the customs of the country what does it mean go according to the customs of the country mean of course if they if they in any way interfere with Torah and the Commandments not to do that but even more you should utilize is the customs
Of the country and don’t fool yourself to that we use the special uniqueness the character of the place where you are for good to reveal the essence of this place it becomes but everything in the world is there because God wants it to be there and everything in the world is different
From everything else if for no other reason that everything is in a different place than everything else no no nothing’s in a two place but the fact is every even human being is different from every other human being in some way and the reason it’s that way is
Because God made it that way now you can either use it this fact that you’re different from everyone else as a proof that God does not exist because if God exists everybody would be the same right so wrong God wants there to be unity in from difference urbus unim from many
Comes one say and it’s a true saying it’s true a orchestra that has a lot of pieces and they all instruments they all play together it’s more beautiful than just one person playing or four people playing it’s more beautiful more impressive this is we’re talking about the whole world with all of its
Details that each one realizes that I’m being created by God because God wants me to use my uniqueness in order to make the world a better place in order to connect to my Creator call and in a big way we’re talking about in this case France France which
Was the opposite of godliness suddenly it became an independent thing in all of matters in Torah and the Commandments that it had became its source of Torah and Commandments something like the advantage the of of Y and nebra the creation Creations that they feel that they are independent that every independent
Creation feels that it’s being created uniquely by God because the source of everything comes from God’s Essence come from God’s Essence the God he comes from himself like I said before every human being feels that they’re God God made us in His image what does it mean God’s image
Just like nothing is before God so everybody feels the same thing nothing is before me I I was just created you know 20 years ago 50 years ago 70 years ago okay you know that’s maybe a little question but it doesn’t make any difference my parents existed to give
Birth to me that’s why I’m I’m the height of all creation says then when God said in the Ten Commandments honor your mother and father it turned the whole world world over I turn the whole world over and that people usually think my parents exist because of me I am the
Ultimate I’m the peak that’s why nowadays people don’t want to have children they do they do figure eights not to have children so they can feel I’m the boss I I’m the reason that everything was created everything leads up to me I’m the last chapter that chapter so people feel just like God
And with this feel that’s the feeling of France I’m God and to take that feeling and to realize that this feeling is a gift from me from God to use it to serve the Creator like we talked about yesterday the thief before he steals he praised to
God for Success why because God made him a thief but don’t you know that God made you a thief so that you resist this urge to steal and this is is a tremendous novelty that a person doesn’t do what’s natural this is a tremendous novelty it gives God
Pleasure and eventually that person he gets pleasure out of helping people instead of stealing from people we can see he gets a pleasure from being honest we can say that one depends on the other that our egotism that we feel that we’re God this is what enables us to really
Give give God pleasure and reveal God in the world CAD Paul in order to refine this world the lowest part of the world completely refine the world you have to have power from God’s Essence from the revealed Powers there’s a difference between up and down it could be the godliness is
Drawn from a place which is Godly and only places that are prepared which is not the case from the essence of God which is above up and down then it’s possible to reveal and to refine even the lowest places in the world even places that are not vessels for
Godliness and even more to draw down they’re the essence itself can also that’s one thing it says that the Jews uh sinned with a golden calf the revi has a speech about this so everything happens it happens because God somehow or other wants it to happen nothing happens outside of God but
Serving the old golden calf is against the first and the second commandments and the Ten Commandments idolatry is forbidden so how could it be that God wanted them to sin of course he didn’t want them God got mad he wanted to wipe them all out says yes it’s true but if
You look at the whole entire picture what came out of it that the Jewish people repented they did chuva Moses prayed for them and revealed the 13 attributes of Mercy that’s a new thing in some ways that’s above the Torah the Torah has all these laws they went against the Torah that’s
It they went against God’s will God’s will is infinite it’s infinite bad they’re finished says yeah but there’s what’s called chuva return and when a Jew returns to the Creator that’s a new thing a new thing a new power in the world higher than the Torah before that
The Torah was the highest thing in the world nothing was above the Torah that was God’s Will and wisdom suddenly they realized that there’s something even deeper than that the essence of what a Jew is that that can be revealed I’m sorry God I didn’t mean it that he
Talked about guilt I a healthy guilt I made a mistake I’m I admit I made a mistake I’m going to change from that from this lower feeling and in an end I mean if you want to call that the original sin that’s the original sin that God made us feel
That we are God and everyone feels it but that’s not the our Essence don’t think that is our Essence it’s not our Essence is godliness that we’re cre cre creations of God and God also created this desire to go against him so only by means of this Essence
That we have can we reveal God’s Essence in the world this idea of chuva and returning to the Creator a new hour and now let’s do the Yom Yom don’t know how much time that took I sort of lost track of time one second
