הילולת אור החיים הקדוש/רב דניאל בניזרי

Kind: captions Language: en With the help of God, may God bless you, today is the celebration of the Holy Light of Life, as we said, this is the aspect of Moses of the generation on the same day of the week that the Holy Light of Life began, which this year comes out on Tuesday on the same day of the week, the 7th of Adar comes out, the 7th of Adar comes out, peace be upon him, on the same day of the week, Tuesday also came out, 3 Lag Lag BaOmer also on the same day of the week, why because it is known that this is the aspect of Moses, the aspect of Moses in the generation, and as we said, as we said, it is very, very worthwhile for me to really make an effort and study the Holy Light of Life because the benefit in his book is very, very great, as I mentioned yesterday, yesterday I mentioned the Rebbe of Rozhin, who said that the benefit in the Holy Light of Life for our lowly generations is more beneficial than the Holy Light of Life that was written in the highest generations, which he put in holy conditions, so therefore the benefit in the soul is less, but the Holy Creator of Life wrote it in more generations, so he says it is much more beneficial to the soul to that extent, and what is the evidence that the Light of Life is accepted, accepted in all sects, bury, delige, liteim, hasadadim, I know from religions Haredim, whoever you want, is like the Bible, like the Bible that was received in all parts of Israel, even the holy light of life. Therefore, it is only to tell me, only to say, " Surely this is the Holy Zohar, I have no virtue over it." Of course, of course, I'm just saying for the sake of everyday life that a person needs, as they say, he needs, he needs a push, how to keep it, he needs help, you know, he needs a push, he needs help, he needs understanding the Holy Zohar. Of course, there is nothing above him, like the light of the light, peace be upon him. He would tell her, he would tell parents that the children had difficulty learning, no, they didn't want to, they wanted to learn, so he would tell even the children who didn't understand anything to read a page of Zohar, and everything worked out, and that's really how it was. Whoever would listen to him would tell the child, "Take this page, this page, you don't even understand it, and it was very useful, and it really helped him. So of course, I'm not here, God forbid, to scare anything from the Zohar. On the contrary, we, thank God, have a lesson in the Zohar every day. Rather, I say this push, this help of life every day that can help you, is the Holy Light of Life. So that's why I want to say today what a huge innovation that I think everyone needs to know now in order to understand well the innovation. I said, we will offer it in a thing and its opposite, a thing and its opposite. We have three things that the Holy Light of Life brings in a parashah. Phinehas in the book of Numbers, I have established among them, he will bring three things about Phinehas, in order to understand the three things about Phinehas, I think we are now returning a little to the story of Balak, what is written, it is written about Balaam, he also brings three things, and there we will learn a thing and its opposite on the verse, chapter 24, verse 3, in the book of Numbers, chapter 24, verse 3. And he took up his parable and said, The speech of Balaam his son Baal, and the speech of the man who is drowned, a speech that hears with why twice, a speech that asks the Holy Light of Life twice, three times, sorry, I said twice, why three times with a speech. The Holy Light of Life says at the end of Parashat Balak that the speaker said three times, and it was not enough to do so once. So now he will bring three measures in Balaam, which is exactly the opposite. The opposite of the three that, with God's help, we learned in Pinchas. So what are the three dimensions of Balaam? It means a force that came in creation, which the Creator acted upon. What does this mean? This means that he received this power as he will say later, he will say that this is so that the nations of the world will not say that they did not open the door here to the nations of the world that Solomon was only a prophet. If they had a prophet as well, then they would have supposedly listened to the prophet, and here they received a prophet and what was from him was only impurity, only impurity, he really is. He brought them sorcery, he brought them impurity, only as they say, he made the situation much worse than it was. It's as if their spiritual rank is using them for evil. That's what he says. So those are the three dimensions. What are the three dimensions? He is not, he is not, he is not, he does not act on his own, on his own power, for His glory, the Blessed One. Absolutely not. That's what he says. Therefore, what he received from the power of the begetter. By the power of the one who gives birth, what is not true in Pinchas, as it is written, "He envied me, I will entreat you among them," says my jealousy. My jealousy says the Holy One, blessed be He, testifies about Pinchas three things. What is the first thing? He lived in his own honor and risked himself, as stated in their words. And he says, "He was jealous" in the title. What does it mean? He did it himself in his own honor. He did not send anyone else. He did not send a messenger, even though he was in danger, that everyone wanted to kill him. No matter what, he did it for his honor, blessed be He. This is my lamentation. This is the first thing. He broke the yoke of Balaam, who secretly makes a messenger, does not want to bother. This is laziness, this is hiding something. Here is a thing and its opposite. I mean, what made Pinchas become an angel? As the seed Samson says, if Moses had killed Azmari ben Tzahal himself, he would have become an angel. As it is written, "And no one knew the place of his strength ." But if he had killed Zimriyim in his shadow, there would have been no one. He was the angel of Moses our Lord, so he was, he was, yes, we would know the place of his heroism, that's what he says. This is Rashemshon. What does it mean? It means that the deed that Pinchas did turned him into an angel. What was the first thing that turned him into that angel that he did in his own honor, even in danger? I mean, what are you afraid of? If the Holy One, blessed be He, asked you for a mitzvah, what are you afraid of? Danger, not danger. Maybe you will send a messenger, as the column in the sign in the sign of Rambam, where he writes in the beginning, at the beginning of the laws of Shabbat, the Shulchan Aruch brings, let him say, even a rich man, a great man, don't say, "It's not his honor, it's not his honor." I have, I have draftsmen, I have workers, I have laborers who will do the work that is needed on Shabbat. Don't say that. Why do I say that? It's the honor of the person who engages in the mitzvah, right? Because it's the honor of the person who engages in the mitzvah in his own honor. This is the first thing Pinchas teaches us. Did he pour it out to be an angel? Who was not afraid of danger. If the Holy One, blessed be He, asked and it was a mitzvah, then He jumped in and did it. That's the first thing. Secondly, the Holy Light of Life says that Pinchas was jealous for my honor. The Holy One, blessed be He, testifies that He had no interest, no concern for him personally. With what personal of Pinchas nothing everything was in his honor as that as I say in my jealousy yes the meaning is that he did in my honor alone and not through anything other than Him and this is a complete commandment in which God will be praised more than anything that a person will do and he says in his jealousy in the name of the deserter Baruch Hu what does this mean it means that the Holy One, blessed be He testifies that he did it completely without any interest now what we see Balaam says the Holy Light of Life exactly the opposite that he bought with his power his deeds because a person will attract to his soul forces according to the work from him and what did he say from his house the house of Balak why because Balaam has a small house so he says what is my house I will fill it with gold and the harvest is not much Balaam says I have a small house not his house his house the house of Balak because he has a palace he has a huge house fill the whole house with silver and gold. So Chazal learn from this that he had a lust for money. He had a lust for money. He wanted. This is the second thing. That is, everything he does is for some lust. It is to fulfill his desire. It is for an interest. Everything he does. What is not true in Pinchas, says the Holy Light of Life, is exactly gray. The Holy One, blessed be He, testifies that he did it 100% for my honor. 100%. The third thing is that there was no action that he did that disappeared from the eyes of man, but sanctified God within the audience in his congregation. He had sanctified God. This means that even when he did it, he did it not between himself and himself. He did it in front of a congregation and a committee, as it is written in Tractate Sanhedrin, page 1, where the entire tribe of Shimon was around the tent where he stabbed both of them. Who was Pinchas? He stabbed and thus he became an angel by virtue of this act. He stabbed Zimri ben Zello and Kosh Mbetzu and killed their leader in front of them and he was among them, right in front of a congregation and a committee, even though they wanted to kill him. He was not afraid. He did it literally. It is written That 12 miracles were performed for him 12 miracles instead So this is the third thing The third thing is doing Kiddush Hashem in Bela What is the third thing Desecration of Hashem It requires Desecration of Hashem Exactly exactly the opposite. Exactly the opposite. So these are the three things. Three things that the Holy Light of Life says here that a person supposedly becomes an angel but all of them are like even if he walks like an ordinary person on the street you see him as ordinary but he is not ordinary he is an angel. Why is he an angel? Because he behaves in these three things. The first thing he does himself in his own honor and is not afraid of any danger when he has to do the will of Hashem. Not afraid. Like the sheep I will just give an example Yes Ben Ish Chai says about Elul that he writes he writes that he needs to sleep he needs to sleep a person needs to sleep let's say about six hours so that is right six hours so that he can rest and so on So he says but on Elul that he needs to sleep less because of the atonements He says that he will not worry he will not worry because he is doing it for the sake of heaven So with the help of Hashem he will have the strength to do it He writes explicitly even though he said that he needs to sleep six Hours, but regarding Elul, this means you think that God's grace and peace are you in danger, why because it's not in the will of God, there is no danger, there is no danger, of course, everything depends on the matter, according to the forces, and according to the person, because basically it goes according to the will, the will is what is present and what is desired, but the will goes beyond the present, the present, that is, there is a big question, there is a big question, do I have to behave according to what is present, according to what I can, according to my ability, or according to the will? If the will is real, you can act according to the will. There is no problem. This is what Pinchas did. This is the first thing. That's why he wasn't afraid, he did it in his own honor. And that's how miracles and wonders were done for him. And this is what is written. The moment you really do a real will, miracles and wonders. And the second thing, what did we say? The second thing says, the Holy Light of Life, which was in his honor, may God bless him, as little as possible, because it is difficult at first, because it is written in the Gemara, from not listening comes hearing, then a person will always engage in the Torah, that from not listening comes hearing, right? What does this mean? It means that there is no choice, you must start, even if you have an interest, and even You have a touch and all, but, but, but, what do you need to strive to strive like Pinchas, that the Holy One, blessed be He, will testify about you that you are doing this in His honor, truly in my honor, in my lamentation, in my honor, and the third thing, as we said, is the sanctification of the Lord. All this is refuted by Balaam. Balaam did everything the other way around. He does not do it on his own. He does not do it in His honor, blessed be He, in his own honor, and he commits blasphemy. Pinchas, truly in his own honor, does it without fear, even as if there were some supposed fear of danger. And the second thing, or the Holy One, blessed be He, testifies that he has no interest in doing everything in His honor. The third thing is the sanctification of the Lord. This is the sanctification of the Lord. What is not true in Balaam? This is blasphemy. What is the sanctification of the Lord? Actually, I just want to emphasize this matter now because all the work of the righteous is to sanctify His name, blessed be He, as it is told about our Rabbi Yosef Kro, who prayed and he was willing to die for the sanctification of the Lord, like that righteous man in his generation, Rabbi [ __ ], who was cursed for the sanctification of the Lord. The angel said to him in the order of the Holy One, blessed be He. He accepted your prayer. You will also die in Kiddush. In the end, he dies normally. He dies normally. Not Kiddush Hashem. I asked, like, so what? So what does the angel say to him? What is it? The angel works on him, God forbid. Yes, the Holy One, blessed be He, agreed. Yes, he agreed, but it didn't happen. What's the point here? So the point is according to the Holy Light of Life. According to the Holy Light of Life, what is the point? The point is that the moment you have this desire and you live with this desire to sanctify His Name, blessed be He, then He accepted your prayer. What does it mean? Because you fulfill it every day. Always, as it is written, it is much, much easier to die in Kiddush Hashem than to live in Kiddush Hashem. It is harder to live. It is easier to die in Kiddush Hashem. It is one moment. The story is over. But to live in Kiddush Hashem every day, I say, this is the answer. This is the answer. The angel said that the Holy One, blessed be He, accepted your prayer. The meaning is that you live every day, every day. As it is written in the Maggid, if he was a little late and it would be regrettable and if he didn't do all his studies, like He was sorry for everything, everything, he wanted to honor Him, may He be blessed, everything, may He be blessed, that's why he would change the minhags by heart all the time and that's how the Maggid revealed himself to him. So what is all this from? Where does it come from? From the sanctification of the Lord? He wants to sanctify His name, may He be blessed in public. So you can live according to this. You want everything you want in the world to sanctify His name, may He be blessed. I say according to the Holy Light of Life. It can be settled like this. In fact, you can live every moment and every second. For example, when you go in to buy something in a store, you answer the right question. And you behave correctly. And you pray for it, of course. And the Holy One, blessed be He, causes you to be happy. The Holy One, blessed be He, through you, because of you, all beings. What will He say? Tell me, what is this? It's worth studying Torah. Look at how he behaves in the way of the land. What kind of Jew? All the best. You understood that this is written explicitly. Therefore, why, why, why? The Gemara on Shabbat 118:13. The Gemara on Shabbat 118:13. What does it say that if a learned scholar has a stain on his garment, he must die? What happened? Why is this? This is a very dirty donkey. How is he? Why did he end up in this life? It seems difficult, right? No. So the commentators explain, do you know why he lives in a bed? Because supposedly he lowers the value of the Torah and the Holy One, blessed be He, lowers this value in front of the people. They say then that he is a wise scholar. Look at how he looks, God forbid, dirty and that. So he lowers the value of the Torah and the due honor of the Torah and the honor of the Holy One, blessed be He. By not presenting it properly. So at least present what you need to present in a way that the people say, may his name be praised. Even a Gentile will say, "Blessed be the God of Israel." As it was in the Gemara, it was true that he returned it to him even though he did not have to return the slave, he said, " Blessed be the God of Israel, who has such children who are honest and do not steal, etc. This is the sanctification of God. So the sanctification of God is to raise His glory, blessed be He, because the Holy One, blessed be He, says, "The whole world is like unto My glory, in the presence of My creatures, even though I have made them." The meaning of my honor is nobility in the Hereafter, it is creation, I created creation, I did it, it is action, nobility without the action, action, here are four worlds that I did for one thing that would give me honor in the world. This is Adam. Here is a person in this world. This is Pinchas. This is Pinchas. He shows us that a person in this world is only for the honor of the Holy One, blessed be He. So how much do you respect the Holy One, blessed be He? This is your destiny in the world. And of course, of course, they say, "Giving is necessary, Hared is by your side." If you are now really fulfilling your destiny in the world, then supposedly it will bring you the fruits because the foundation is impossible. The foundation is not rewarded. The mitzvah is commanded on a pole. So of course, but the fruits are possible. You can do anything that a person adds to the mitzvah. If it is desire, if it is joy, then there is a reward for it, but there is no reward for the foundation. So I say now in the divine assistance, I say if you are careful with the honor of the Holy One, blessed be He, how you speak, how you respond to creatures, between a person and a place, between a person and a fellow human being, especially as the head writes that the Holy One, blessed be He, is more fond of the The commandments between man and man are more important than man and place. Because all we lack now is the Temple, which is only due to the merit between man and man. That a man will be careful between man and man, the Holy One, blessed be He, is happy with that. So then what comes out? It comes out as soon as you fulfill the mission and people love the Holy One, blessed be He, more due to your merit and learn Torah more due to your merit and you cause the inspiration of the love of the Holy One, blessed be He in the world, then I say this also brings fruit, this also brings fruit because you do it out of love for G-d, out of love for G-d, this too is as if it is beyond a mitzvah, beyond a mitzvah, that is why everything that we said a few lessons ago, we talked about all the promises that a person will receive because of the merit of midnight correction, why because you show that you show that you do it out of love for G-d, you say out of love for G-d that you do it in His honor, where is the Shekinah from the dust that is lifted up to the Shekinah, and all these things also bring fruit, and therefore everything that a person does because of the love of G-d to cause the sanctification of G-d, like Pinchas Chassa, then it is certain that there are fruits in this world, in the very world. Next raid raid there is even more in the next world but in this world this is the innovation this is the innovation because and it is not the reward of the mitzvah this is the innovation because the reward there is a mitzvah on a queen oh wow I say oh wow wow if we have reached a situation that the Holy One blessed be He has not reached a situation that our mitzvah is worth the price of a physical thing oh wow wow oh wow wow if we have reached this situation that our mitzvah is worth the price of a physical thing because a mitzvah has no physical price you will not bring now I don't know just I throw a fifth number exactly full whose house is full the house of the largest house in the world of the house is full the house of the largest house in the world yes you will fill it with silver and gold and with whatever you want you cannot pay a mitzvah you cannot pay a mitzvah mitzvah. You cannot pay a mitzvah. And so since you cannot pay a mitzvah then what? So what then what do you receive in this world? Fruits. Fruits. What is beyond the mitzvah, what you try harder, what you do out of love for G-d, what you cause to be sanctified by G-d, all of this is called beyond the mitzvah. And that has fruits. And so all these fruits come By the power of the love of God. Therefore, a true person, everyone goes through what he goes through, it's hard and all, and it's not lacking, not lacking, not lacking, but if we learn from Pinchas, as the Holy Light of Life says, if we learn from Pinchas, in the end we will merit, we will merit, we will truly merit, that the Holy One, blessed be He, will truly help each of us in every way, literally in every way, the moment you supposedly pass the matter of the mitzvah, you will receive everything. I just want to end with a story. I may have told this once, but it's not terrible. It's a very strengthening story. What is this matter of how much is the mitzvah worth? What we said there is a price for the mitzvah. I remember it many years ago. It was. It was. It was. It was. A question that came to Rabbi Elyashiv, peace be upon him. The judge of the generation. The judge of the generation came to him. What was one? He was a Holocaust survivor and came to stop the Arbiter. Yes, blessed be He was worthy. He went to his uncle. His whole family perished. He was left alone. And blessed be He reached the age of marriage. Blessed be He found a match. He found a bride. He built a house and started working here and there until he found some factory. Mattresses right and started working there and learning the business and his wife would push him when he would work for someone to open his place of his own he learned the business well at first a week no one came suddenly after that one came with three mattresses and fixed them he was happy about it he advertised it became very famous started working well and then his wife said to him if it's like this what are you going to keep fixing mattresses all your life open a factory really really encouraged him and that's how he succeeded he succeeded in a big factory the most the most really big factory and to this day to this day I think she exists this factory to this day a that's from Mazaroni something great Paradise something I think Mazaroni Paradise this is it he opened it and Vahna 80 plus he was sick he went to the hospital and then there was a complicated surgery I do it in short just let's understand what some question came to Rabbi Elyashiv and this they said they needed to bring some doctor and in short a lot of money thousands thousands thousands thousands dollars his wife said what are you asking at all just bring it no she didn't have a problem with money just bring it The doctor came from I don't know where in the world this came from He came to check He said I need to organize a complicated surgery But it's a lot of money to organize it It's a lot of money It's a lot He told him how much it cost Like his million dollars Something like this Something it was If he didn't have something ordinary He had to organize from all over the world And loose and this and machines So they said Well you need to need to ask It's worth it Not worth it In short they asked Rabbi Elyashiv He said What's the question Give him one day in life Of course it's worth it Do the surgery You have money Don't have it So do it He won't hesitate Well do the surgery Baruch Baruch G-dashman Baruch G-dashman His eldest son came to visit him He asked for tefillin Tefillin This is the thing he would wear What even in the extermination camps wears tefillin He asked for tefillin He put on tefillin And he was weak After he put on tefillin Not long after he died He passed away He passed away He passed away From the world Wow That's all they did And this And they paid And this So that he would heal in the end So they went back to Rabbi Elyashiv As if what we asked you You said It's worth You know What he said This is an answer I won't forget Many years ago It was In 100 sheiraim rabbi what do you want it cost you cheap you paid 3 million dollars for him to perform the mitzvah of tefillin what do you want it cost you cheap without without you would pay it he would not put tefillin what do you want is you understand no no no no all the price all all the money and gold towards one mitzvah it is not it is not it is not it is impossible to compare at all that is why he says it cost you cheap you know what it is cheap of 3 million dollars for him to put tefillin once except for the first 50,000 that he brought the doctor and all I say it is worth it it is worth so you understand this is the matter of the so that is why it is impossible to pay the mitzvah in this world but the fruits yes everything that is beyond the mitzvah as we said if it is the sanctification of the sanctification of Hashem if it is the joy if it is the desire of course it is possible Hashem will merit us by the merit of the Holy Light of Life will defend us and all Israel amen and amen amen
