Q & A
What is the significance of repeating the command for the daily sacrifices?
-The repetition emphasizes the importance and the immediate and ongoing nature of the commandment. It signifies that the sacrifices are not only for the present but also for all generations.
What does the term 'command rash' imply in the context of the script?
-The term 'command rash' suggests an immediate and enduring command, indicating that the command applies not just for the present but also for future generations.
How is the concept of 'carbon' related to the sacrifices mentioned in the script?
-The term 'carbon' is likely a mispronunciation or misinterpretation of 'corban' or 'offering', which refers to the sacrifices brought to the altar, symbolizing a connection between the act of giving and the divine.
What is the connection between the sacrifices and the 'good smell' mentioned in the script?
-The 'good smell' is symbolic of the divine pleasure derived from the sacrifices. It contrasts with the literal smell of burning offerings, suggesting a deeper spiritual meaning behind the act of sacrifice.
Why does the script mention the concept of 'foreigners' in relation to God's creation?
-The concept of 'foreigners' is used to describe beings that are not an extension of God but are created by Him. They are 'foreign' in the sense that they do not inherently share God's divinity but are subject to His will.
What is the purpose of the descent of God into the world according to the script?
-The descent is for the purpose of elevation. It signifies God's will to create a world where He can be a king, with subjects that are not an extension of Himself, thus creating a dynamic of rulership and submission.
How does the script explain the concept of God's name being the same as His will?
-The script suggests that God's name and His will are synonymous, indicating that His very essence and desire to create the world are intertwined, reflecting His omnipresence and omnipotence.
What is the significance of the term 'Y' in the script?
-The term 'Y' likely refers to the concept of 'Yichud', which denotes the unity and singularity of God. It signifies the idea that before the creation of the world, only God existed, and His will was the only force at play.
Why does the script discuss the idea of God wanting to be a king?
-The idea of God wanting to be a king is used to illustrate His desire to have subjects, which necessitates the creation of a world with beings that are not an extension of Himself. This creates a dynamic where God can be recognized as the supreme ruler.
What is the script's explanation for the creation of a world that seemingly denies God's existence?
-The creation of such a world is part of God's plan to have a diverse and complex creation where beings can choose to recognize or deny His existence. This allows for the possibility of free will and the potential for spiritual growth and connection with God.
How does the script connect the sacrifices with the concept of 'playing'?
-The script uses the metaphor of 'playing' to describe the divine enjoyment derived from the sacrifices. It suggests that the act of offering sacrifices is a form of interaction or 'play' between the divine and the created beings.

📜 Exploring the Second MIM and Sacrificial Offerings
The speaker delves into the second MIM, a religious concept, emphasizing the importance of daily offerings as sacrifices. They discuss the repetition of commands and the significance of the number 'one' in the context of sacrifices, highlighting the immediate and perpetual nature of these commands. The discussion also touches on the concept of 'corbon' as a sacrifice involving animals, and the symbolic meaning of the 'good smell' that arises from the burnt offerings, which represents a form of divine enjoyment.
🔥 The Divine Pleasure and Creation's Purpose
This paragraph explores the idea of divine pleasure derived from the 'good smell' of sacrifices, contrasting it with the unpleasant odors of burning fat. It then transitions into a philosophical discussion about the purpose of creation, the descent of the divine into the material world for the sake of elevation, and the concept of God's will and desire to create as the source of all existence. The speaker also explains the notion of God's kingship over subjects, which are essentially 'foreigners' in the context of creation, and the process of elevating these 'foreigners' to a state of unity with God.
🌏 The Descent and Ascent of Divine Will in Creation
The speaker continues the discourse on creation, focusing on the descent of the divine will from the level of 'Y' (nothing but God) to the level of 'Melech' (King), which involves the concealment of divinity to create a world with 'foreigners'. The paragraph discusses the concept of God's kingship and the necessity for subjects who are not an extension of God but willingly submit to His rule. It also addresses the idea of God's enjoyment in creation and the role of humans in elevating the world back to a state of unity with the divine.
🕰 The Infinite Concept of Time and Divine Will
In this paragraph, the discussion centers on the infinite nature of God's will and the concept of timelessness in creation. The speaker explains that God's will to be a 'Melech' (King) existed before the creation of the world, which is a timeless concept rather than a chronological one. They also touch upon the human inability to fully comprehend the infinite due to the limitations of the finite human mind, and the importance of recognizing and elevating the world back to its divine source.

154 last time we learned the first MIM
on so now we're doing the second one
okay this is we every day we
read my corbon my bread for
my offering for
you should
tell this is the sacrifice you should
bring
for one sheep in the morning one sheep
in the afternoon he says to
understand the
says and then it says right away a
second time what is it saying it
twice also the way the changes the
expression first it
says and then it
says so one play the same says means to
be then it says should
say it says you should do
it
also is plural
is singular so number one the says twice
the word one time it says bring
sacrifice it then says do it same thing
the same POS
says and and also one plural One
Singular so it's all mixed up in the
same
follow any place where the ter says
when the ter uses the word command rash
brings us down many times it means
immediately and for all generations
meaning it's not only for Now command
them for now but for all generations
also that's the double expression
of that refers to the immediate
that that refers to the that are brought
in the time
of which
is which is the concept of so he says
like
this is commandment it means now and for
all times so he says the first one is
representing the time of the
BD and the second refers even when
there's no B MD
so what is the of is the of Ding and
that's why he says he's going to explain
this all did we finish the about
theal most of it part of it most of it
this is the purp no it's
not purpose not to finish a the purpose
to
learn I said there didn't finish when
they learned the M they D didn't finish
it why I didn't want any ah I finished
the m
[Music]
that's corresponding with
the which you're bringing
sheep
and so ding is
requests a corbon is taking anim what
does an animal have to do with
requests what's the
is instead
of what carus is ding instead of the
morning carbon and the afternoon carbon
right so what's the connection between a
carbon which is taking an animal and
killing it and putting on the to level
of which it requests what's the
connection between the
two also to understand what it says
by a good smell and the
says
okay means a good smell meaning that
what's the smell the stink you know
burning hide stinks it means said that
you listen to me I had
enjoyment smelled this beautiful
smell what type of enjoyment the have
smelling stinky stinky coras that are
burning on the M the B and the fats you
know it's an awful
smell see so there a bunch of questions
over here number one besides the
original questions but the question is
how are kabanas instead daving instead
of kabus a completely different aspect
and also kabus is a good a good pleasure
good smell what good smell is there from
cab
he says like
this
like the ultimate purpose of The Descent
of the into this
world come into a body
is is a descent for the sake of
elevation we learned that many
times before we say
was only him and his name that's it what
does mean his name he
say is the same
as his
will which is the source of all
creations said before hasem created the
world there was him and his name so is
explaining what is his name
name is is the same numerical
value means hashem's desire to create
the world so another before the world
were created what exist AEM and his
desire to create
World it enters simplistic
will that he should be a king wanted to
be a king now in order to be a king we
learned you need to have subjects the
definition of subjects are not your own
children which are an extension of you
foreigners mean foreigners that are not
you and yet they subjugate themselves to
you now if Hashem is the only existence
that exists how can you have foreigners
that subjugate themselves to Hashem so
therefore there has to be this concept
of creation of world which Hashem
created the world in a way that there's
so much concealment of godliness that
they in their world they're foreigners
cuz they they don't steal the existence
of hem so they're foreigners and Hashem
wants that to create a world that these
foreigners are
all like we
say meaning there's nothing but
him and what is the life of the world
that's only the level of in other words
like this
there so you
say means the life of the world and that
then he says
me okay so what does that mean there's
three stages here there's there's the
way is completely
above only against then you
have hasem is giving life to the world
which seemingly is an opposite concept
of Y because y means nothing but
him the life of the worlds meaning now
there are
worlds which means a concealment of
godliness which means now they are
seemingly
foreigners so how do why is there coming
from to which opposite means there's
only a means there a world existing and
he's dealing with the
world so why from does it come so the
answer is M he wants to be a
king hasem wants to be a king and
therefore you can be a king if you're
y you the only existence who you are
King
over after
we
say what do we
say to bring down that level
of that is speaking about the world of
hem that he
created
okay the luxuries of Life the
necessities of life that's all included
now we
say that we should feel that this thing
that we just ate is coming from
hem he
says created the
world it was only him in the level of
wanting to create a
world then the level of being King is
included in himself and therefore he's
called which is
only the revelations of were part
of in other words let me just read this
so he say like
this before created the
world there was only him and his Ro to
create a world cuz he wanted to be
me but that because it's only thing that
existed is AEM is
only was part of him and is is part of
him the Son and the son
now that he created the world so now
that Ray leaves the sun now that becomes
a tangible level of
elus that now from our perspective there
exists the world from our perspective we
are
foreigners we're not in extension of
Hashem and therefore Hashem wants that
us as foreigners should now become botle
to
Hashem I thought that when we
say because if there's a or the sh of
somebody in that Apple that food or
something that you ate it should be
elevated like the story from like the if
there's a who first of all who I don't
know I'm not saying it's not who told
you that I don't
know in which Center did you hear that
in
his with Senter did you hear
that I don't remember I don't remember
either okay so when you remember you let
me know what there's no such I don't
know I can't say there's no such
thing in order to say no such thing you
have to know everything in the
world unless unless if something is so
stupid that it can't be terrorist say
it I told you the story of
Biser who was very close to the somebody
once told him there's a
tasis and the yeah he said there's no
such
tasis and he said it's not because I
know all T but such a stupid thing tus
could have never
said understand I'm not saying it's not
true maybe it's
I um
okay then
after C effect
which
is separate
entities and therefore this are now the
created worlds which is already creating
foreigners which are really not
foreigners but in their perspective they
are
foreigners right so that is a
tremendously great descent from that
level of
why did to lower all these levels to
come down into a level of and
concealment that should become
bottle to become one with so another why
did hem lower himself all the way down
from that the only thing that existed
was AEM in his will to create World
which is then only existence with Hashem
and why in the world did he create a
world which is so far and concealment of
Hashem that they they even deny the
existence of hem why is that because
hasem wanted to have a to be a
m by the way this you to
understand before the world was created
does not mean in
time because before the world was
created there is no time
so he can't say them before and after so
before means it's a higher
level not time wise
before that's number one and this also
answers the question
we Master of the world who ruled before
anything was created if there's anything
that was cre nothing's created how can
you be a Mel Mel means there subjects
that are B so this really answers I
mean's a lot of the the point is that it
means that refers to this level of that
he
says that's the way the willpower of of
existed
[Music]
in so that level existed even before the
world
he was when
he he a Mel what when he
was when he was by himself he had the
will the will to be a
Mel
later there was no later at that
time's nobody how you be a
by
us what's
called the potential doesn't mean I did
it the the potential is lacking the P
the
actual means it happened
already like we said what year did Happ
conly
okay because that level is above
elus it's tail Which is higher than
tickling right so that level is
constantly happening because there's no
time
there we we we can't get that our brains
are not
capable yeah brain not
the can get it because then gets it then
Li they get it but we as humans with not
such
lofas yeah don't cannot perceive a
concept of above time and
place we can't it's physically
impossible because the finite mind
cannot understand something infinite we
can speak it we can say it we can talk
it but we don't get
it cuz it's impossible for a finite mind
to understand the infinite concept that
doesn't exist we don't know what
infinite is
either we can't grasp infinite by us
infinite is all the way trilli you know
but that's not
reality we can speak about infinite we
can say what it is and know but we can
get
it but the beginning of creation he
says meaning like he says the idea that
he wanted to be a Mel
and he
says and therefore this is a
tremendous that now the level
of comes to
create what's the purpose of it
is that the yes in other words made
yes and our job is to make the yes back
into
the meaning the yes should be
B the primary level of
alah the which formed to play with you
know
the
says why did for him to play with
it what do you mean plays games I mean
it's you know what does it
mean that's the level of enjoyment
playing means enjoyment
