Chanuka - One And Seven

So we're talking about Manache, right? So one of the things Manache did was he put to Manache, maybe just say word about Hanukkah, maybe. Manache? Yeah, so let's see if we can work it out. Manache, well, it's easy to fit Manache, but Hanukkah because Manache means Manache means to forget. He calls the Jewish people to forget. Forget Hashem, right? And that's what the Greeks say, she who a name should Israel, there's endless ways to connect Manache. But maybe one thing we should talk about is that Manache put two idols in the Hechal, right? He put two slums in the base of Mechal. So let's just talk about that a little bit. The cold Hanukkah is that Manache, what does it mean to put two? Why did he put two there? Why two? So the aspect of that to understand is putting two in the place of oneness, right? When we understand Avaldozoro, what was this idolatry that he did? But he declared war on Hashem directly, right? The clearing war on Hashem directly to put two idols into the place of the base of Mechdash, which is the place where there's only Hashem, there you can't, you know, your oven put two golden, a golden, remember that? One in Bersheva, one in Dunn, splitting the right and the left, chesset and din. As we said, Dunn is the place of din, right? Many, many things to say about that. So that's what he did. Manache put the two into the base of Mechdash, right? Just like the Greeks, they came and put their idol into the base of Mechdash. Manache is considered one of the Mechrivimes, one of those who destroyed the temple. It always comes from us. If you want to know where the Hellenists got the power to defect and attach themselves to a culture that is antithetical to Torah, so Manache, if you like, he was the source. He putting two-ness into, let's try to understand what this means, a little bit, amazing subject. You know, the Kurdish-Kodoshim, the Holy of Holies, in the center of the Bersheva Mechdash is a place of, it's the place of oneness, of absolute oneness. As I mentioned before, it says that when the coin gotl goes in a new Mkip, it should be no person there, right? The simple meaning is he has to be alone, not allowed in there with anyone else. But the deep shot is that when he goes in there, he should not be an idol. He himself is not allowed to be an idol, because if he would be in there, it still be two. There'd be a Shrena, a Shaman him. And therefore, what? The two Kruvim are one, that's the point. They embrace each other. But of course, there's a source for this, all the people who go wrong have a source. But the Kurdish-Kodoshim is the place of oneness. And therefore, on the contrary, that's exactly the point, the two Kruvim and the Ulrim Zebazir, they meshed into each other to form one bond. That's where we meet our Shrena, we become one. That's the point. When our relationship was not good with our Shrena, then the Kruvim turned away from each other, manifested as two. But when the relationship is right, then there's one. And Loiye Shom Odom means when he goes in the Kurdish-Kodoshim, he's not an idol. That doesn't mean I said, well, when two people in there get crowded, we mean that there's only oneness. When Manashya puts two in there, he is splitting the source, he's saying that there's no absolute oneness. You can't declare war anymore. And our attitude is that all is one, all is one, but in a manifest world. The world has many parts, and yet they're all a gillouye oneness. Maybe the way to approach this like this, you know, that Hanukkah is the time of Hanukkah is the issue of reaching beyond the world into the cherish of oneness and bringing it down. If you want to understand this deeply, you have the bitter called Bino. Right? Bino is the world is made of seven and one. Right? That's how the world is constructed. You know, we've studied many times together the theme that the world, with a concept that all of reality is based on ten elements. Right? There are three called Gimmul Rishonim in the head, and then there's the seven lower ones in the body. That's the Zaintahtai Lim. Right? The seven lower elements of the natural world, they come from a source which is the upper three. But the upper three are really all nested in one called Ima. Aimha Bonim. Right? Aimha Bonim. That is called Lair. Lair is called Aimha Bonim. That is Aimha Bonim. That's Lair. G is called the mother of the Vak, the seven that come down into the world of Vak's service in the mouth. It's the seven aspects in the world. She's the mother of him. Above her is a thing called Abba. She's called the Ima. That is the source of that. And he brings down from the previous generations. But the explicit source, the place that the world is born from, is the one that transcends the seven. Right? And that's why always you'll find that whenever you reach up into the world that is higher than the natural world, you're talking about eight. The meaning of seven, let's understand this, the meaning of seven in the world. And the meaning of eight, one of those things mean. So the moral explains very clearly that seven is always the structure of the natural world. With its beauty and its cohesiveness and its integration, right? The natural world has six aspects. But when they unify their form seven, Shabbat for example, right? The seventh Shabbat is where the consolidation, where all of the parts come together. But the Torah never mentioned Shabbat without mentioning six days of work first. Shabbat is not something on its own. It's when six days of work culminate, then you have Shabbat, right? Music. You have music only when the seven notes are coming together, then they harmonize together, then you have something called music, right? So you have the world is always this room as six sides. There's four walls, roof and floor. The three-dimensional world has got six sides. The seventh is the fact that they are all connected into one room. They're not floating all over space. You could have these four walls and roof and floor disconnected. When you put them together, you have the seventh element. You can't pick it out and isolate it like the other six because we're bordering now on transcendence. But you can show me when it's there. I can show you by the construction music. You can't pull out the music from the notes. When you put the notes to correctly together, music happens. When you put the six sides of the world together, something happens called the emerges, a quality emerges. That's the seventh. The Hebrew, the word "sheba" is the same as "savea". "Sava" in Hebrew means to be full, completely full, right? "Sava" is, you've had enough, and now there's a fullness, right? Eight is always beyond that. "Sameen" in Hebrew is oil floats to the top. "Sameen" is the stuff beyond that when you lean, lean and mean, right? And you coil still. Oh, no, fat. Lean. The fat is already beyond. Beyond the minimum, that's called "Sameen". And that is an expansion, right? Actually beyond "Sameen", you know, is nine, which is "Tesha", "Tesha" leans towards ten. "Sameen" is to lean towards, and "S" in Hebrew is our "Sher". Our "Sher" means not just more, but enough to already give beyond. That's another thing. But it begins with eight. Eight is "Sameen", which is beyond the natural. That's why whenever you come across eight in Torah, you're talking about a miracle. Hanukkah's eight days 'cause it celebrates the miraculous. Every smiller is done on the eighth day 'cause you're taking the aspect of the body, the aspect of the body, most given to the sensual and the earthy, and you're giving that a sign of "Kadusha". It's an amazing, amazing thing in the worst part. The place that is most given, right, to the problematic and the material, so that can be given the sign of "Kadusha", which is the priest. By the way, that's why Yosef is always connected to Hanukkah. Yosef, always. In case he's always read during Hanukkah, right? Yosef is liberated. What's Yosef got in the Hanukkah? Yosef is beautiful, like the Greeks bring aesthetics, all Greek ideas, they're aesthetics of the body and the naked body. Ironically, Yosef is the one who represents the priest, beauty, connection to woman. The people say the Torah says he was exceptionally beautiful and part of his wife noticed him. And what's his quality, the correct connection between male and female. What does Joseph do? He maintains the correct relationship. He resists her temptations the whole time and bonds only correctly. That's Yosef. The Greeks are stripping the body naked and making the wrong connection. And ironically, they decrease against circumcision. And many Jewish men in their generation had their circumcisions reversed, so they could look Greek and play in the Greek games naked. Ironically, right, what the Greeks come against the mid of Yosef, which is the holy connection between this world and another world. Joseph is that connection, Joseph is always red during Hanukkah, and Jews in that age unfortunately betrayed that issue by, no, the Greeks attacked that in many ways. They made a decrease against Jewish women, that they would have an intimate relationship with Jewish women, so that many, many ways in which that is all a battle to stop us going beyond the seventh. You have to understand that. Greece comes and it says, we accept that there's a thing called seventh, not just sixth. The world has a transcendent element that is unbelievable. And you Jews know about that. And we higher than that, our philosophy is greater than yours. We can integrate the world in a better way than you. We can rise above the way it's put in many sources, the morale for example. The temple is where you Jews have the highest music, right? The highest, the place where it all comes together, there's music in the temple, but the best amictus is the place where you connect with something higher. That adds up to 65. Hechall is 65. But Yovon is 66. And that's why they're contaminant. Why did they battle against the temple of Greeks? Why the temple? Because the base of Miktosh is the place where Jews we see our source being there and therefore they put their source They said what will now go into the temple is sacrificed to pigs? Will sacrifice pigs to Zeus and all the Greek gods. That's the right religion The right religion is the region where we choose the gods and they find out and have human foibles like we do and we We're the ultimate thing. We determine who the gods are, right? The whole concept of Greece is Is that they are they believe they triumph and trump the Miktosh and therefore hey hall is 65 and Greek is 66 Greece is 66 that was the battle and it's a it's a real battle They're not idiots. We're not talking about fools. We talking about the greatest philosophers ever lived Greek philosophy Was so powerful Greek aesthetics and Greek culture was so powerful that we haven't managed to extract ourselves to this day The Roman Empire never had its own culture the Roman Empire took over from Greece and they just spread the culture of Greece around the world And today there's not a single item in Western thinking that isn't based on Greece Right politics today all Western democracies are Based on Greek structures all Western philosophy the point of reference is Greece you can read any book on post modern Anything today. It's all goes back to aesthetics. No serious history of art or theory of art today It doesn't begin with drama all the rules of drama were set up long long ago by the Greek dramatists Right the rules of a tragedy the rules of a comedy how they work right even post modern theaters are rebellion against Greek forms It's clear. It's very clear. I mean, you know, the original much of the mathematics despite what you said about the Arabs Traces itself back geometry traces of back to the Greeks right. There's nothing you can't escape Language English language is a let the Latin medium Brought the Greek right brought the Greek structures Through and therefore and therefore if you're a Westerner today if you're a Westerner today You're not a child of Western culture and this you understand the Greek roots and that was the battle It was a massive battle as I said before the last generations battle with communism We Jews were treacherous and took up communism was nothing compared to the Hellenists The Hellenists were they were so taken with Greek Thought and Greek culture that the macabies had to battle against Hellenized Jews That was the real the real battle right and they weren't fools They to come and compete with Torah you have to be very special to compete with a wisdom an incredible Depth of Torah you have to be gone be a some some joker the Greek the Greeks claimed we are better than your Torah And of course it comes from the source of Yacht el-Kimla yefis the Yishkanvole Shema shem gives beauty to Greece and the purpose of It is to bring it into the tense of shame They have to be the aesthetic vessel that the point of Roshim Shem has explained many times. You have shem ham and yefis shem is in the head the nominal quality the Semitic peoples Ham is the animal world the other side the hot blooded peoples and yefis shem the middle ground that joins the two the point of Greece is Exactly to make a healthy mind and a healthy body. Why did they play the grains naked? Exactly the point is that there has to be a great mind in a great body right those two have to both be Harmonized together is very very very powerful philosophy and they say that ours is higher than yours What the Greeks didn't understand, but that's the message of seven Seven is the natural world and eight is beyond that eight already you reach into something not just the integration Coordination of the of the six in seven that is making the music and and having that incredible appeal of beauty and philosophy and so forth The eighth goes to place much higher than that the eighth goes beyond Completely eighties as we often say the word shmani and Hebrew eight when you rearrange the letters. It spells in the Shema Neshama Then the Shema Transcends the body that you can't see, but it's all its meaning. That's where it is in the Shema rearrange spells Mishnah Mission of Hurtness says that Hanukkah was the Yomta of Taurishable pair The Mishnah is the Soul of Torah, right? It's the part you can't see it's the part. What is the Taurishable pair? It's a partnership between us and our Shema That's exactly the point of meeting where a transcendent Torah comes into the consciousness of you's unbelievable thing No Greek can understand that none. None. You can understand that you can have a religion that God determines what's going on and we We yeah, there are a lot brings those opinions into the world, right? Where we can have a share we human intellect Chacham adif minnowi that a Chacham can actually be greater than a novice and novice listening to messages from a Shema Chacham with his unintellect and wisdom can actually be greater than that. I mean The Greeks will say, yeah, of course you can of course what you think and you understand is where it ends Right like the Ramban says about the Greek philosopher said that they wouldn't accept anything that the intellect couldn't reach you But it was beyond that to say it's irrelevant. It doesn't it's detached nothing to do with us And our concept is that that transcendent wisdom can be brought down into the world That's unbelievable claim a Greek would never relate to that then we can go to a place Beyond human understanding and intellect completely and mesh that Into the world that's called eight never the secret and that's called binna binna means deep understanding binna Binna's the root where all one is Manifest and all multiplicities manifest. What is binna in Hebrew aim a body? What is binna binna in Hebrew is Ben and Bonnet Ben is to be muffin Ben to separate and Bonnet is to build and put together This is the place where the separate things exist and they unify into one that paradox Shema Kano Shema Khatrat Shema Kano Shema Khat is one and yet is the source of many things in the world That's the faculty of binna So that is much deeper than the Greeks so the secret says them are all is that they said your temple adds up to 65 That's the echo but Greece is 66 what they didn't know was that binna which lives in the Kurdish kudoshim is 67 Binna is 67 that's higher than you and that's something a Greek cannot relate to that's something that we call the eight the eight is above the seven and that is the Shosh of the of the thing so therefore that's always the secret of the world you reach up into the source of oneness And it's brought down into the world you know I'll give you one example of this One example you know Antiochus killed 107 sons And he was right he made a spectacle of them first they tortured there was a man called I think his name was think it was a loza That he tortured to death an elderly man He was a well-known sage and he refused to accept and then he said you'll kill The book of macabre says this, right? He said he's going to kill 107 sons so they he said to the oldest one Right do you know him he tortured to death so he said if that old man could do it the boy said if that old man he wasn't going to right then definitely we're going to do it we're not we're not going to If he we saw him that's terrible terrible the way they tortured him the It's brought down in the sources Eventually he died so the boy said we're going to do it say killed him and he killed the next one and the next one I think there's a place I don't think it says it in the book of Macabin but I think it says they were the seventh child came along He said to him listen, you know this is ridiculous only kill you I'll drop my ring You bend down and pick up the ring and then it will look like you bow down to the idol right the kid refused and he got killed So there it says that Hannah said to her sons the matrices Hannah said to her sons when you get up to the next world I want you to go and have them have been to tell him that you sacrificed one but I sacrifice seven Attack cut it I had you bound one on the miss back, but I did seven right That is what she said and the question is what does that mean what does it mean what she's busting that she's better than him I need your tear I've run me I've run you know I'm more I'm more What does she mean and secondly she couldn't burst that way because we have a clull that any sacrifice that comes into the world Is only possible because it was done the first time even if she claims she did seven you couldn't do your seven unless He had been the one to break up and the other is the avatar always the fathers make a pathway possible in the world now Jews can do that because they made it possible so what she claiming she's better than him But what she meant was what she meant was That there's a thing called the father in the world. There's a thing called the father that source of oneness The mother is bring is is be able to bring that source that spark that the father gives Which is the spark of totality she brings it down into the seven what she a message what she was saying was you the father of the archaed But I'm the mother why she she she no what This is the statement. That's being made here. Here's where the Torah is telling you This is a statement in Torah that's telling you that there's a source of one that is above the natural and she's the seven I'm the mother aim her body the aim, you know the The word aim in Hebrew means mother yeah, so the met the versus like this Imla binarticra But let's find out it possibly says Imla binarticra if you call the middle of bina so that the chazal say don't read it Imla binarticra read it aim labinarticra which means don't call it im which means if call it aim now whenever we Read one word as another one. There's got to be a connection between the two and the reason is because the mother is always the if The mother's always the tonight the father's the totality. He does the whole thing the mother discerns binar means the half-fein bane zero bane zero the mother always comes and the man gives seed by the billion It's all there the mother says this not this not this not this not this one yes. That's the tonight the im The the Hebrew word for fathers are if you can't make a more basic word in Russian than that out of base You can't you an aliph aliph doesn't mean anything. So the very first two letters of the alphabet or aliph base That's aliph avoid Hebrew means the desire to wish to want to go out beyond just over create something aliph base But the mother's aliph she's the first letter like him and men the middle letter of aliph base That means that she's big she's but and now it's up to her how that aliph mem known is amin emuna to continue the process Loyal and aliph mem taf is the whole story that's the beginning the middle and then but the mother's aliph mem that means And therefore it's him it's up to her Think about the Jewish people at any point you like al-Mavina. What does he do? He brings the whole process into existence. Who does he bring into existence? Yitzra Kenishmo comes along saran says this one. Yes, that one not He brings above. He laughed too small. A shem said, "She's right, you wrong. You began the whole project, right and left together. She comes on the scene, the mother and she says, "Now I'll set the conditions. He's out and he's in." Next generation, Yitzhak brings it all into existence. Jacob and Asa, again, the totality of the thing. Rifka comes along and says, "Him yes, him not." Yitzhak got it wrong. Not only did he bring in both in which was a disaster. If you asked him to choose, he was going to choose wrong. He thought Asa was the one. So much so that she couldn't even speak to him about it, she had to do it secretly. So she's the one who steps in and says, "Yes, you brought it all into existence, but it's a total challenge." It's the right and left together. This one out, this one in. Next generation, Jacob comes time to strike out on his own and found the Jewish people. Rochelle and Leia, the one to say to him, "Right, now's the time to leave our father's house. We leave them behind." Again, always the mother is the one, aim her bottom. She's the one who brings it down. She's the one who manifests the details in the world from the totality that comes from the father. That's the secret of the world. It's one plus seven. It's one outside the world coming down seven into the world, right? It's one outside which is the source and it comes down to seven. The coin goal, you know what's amazing? Who represents this power in the world? This power in the world is represented by Koyen. Koyen and Koyen goal, right? Who defeated the Greeks? The ones who defeated the Greeks with the Kohane. And the Rammam says, "Aliadai, Kohane amadi doili." The Rammam says, "Who defeated the Greeks was the High Priest?" The question to ask is, "Why have a Kohane made to destroy the Greeks?" The Khashmunaimah were Kohane. There are the last ones you want. They've got no idea about war weapons. They've never had a weapon in their life. They're the Ishimabakhrims. When they attacked the Greeks, these are people who never. We see this through modern historical eyes. They have great heroes, bronze, muscular, Israeli soldiers. That's who they were. They weren't out with the Uzis and they fought the Greeks. They were better soldiers. They were Ishimabakhrim, had no idea about fighting. They've held the weapon at all. The historical sources said they took a few weapons from the Greeks that they killed. They didn't even have weapons themselves. They didn't go out to fight the Greek Empire. They went out to die. They went out from a serious selfish. They simply went out to give their lives because this is something you have to give your life for. Why you give your life for this? When by purim, they didn't fight. Purim, they did chuva. They sat down and dove and then did chuva. That's one question. The famous question in the base of labor. When it comes to purim, the person is threatened to kill you. You don't fight to do chuva. When the Greeks threaten your religion, then you go and fight to the death. I mean, what are you doing? The persons want to kill you. Pick up weapons. No, no. They use certain talk to Ishimab. The Greeks want to interfere with your religion. There you go, fight to the death. What is going on? You know, the famous principle of the base of labor. He says the reason is because at purim, they wanted to kill the Jews and a coalition of mine. A COVID-19 is going to help. You better change your mind. You better sit down and dove. When it comes to the Greeks threaten your religion, that's in your hands. You better fight. That's the way the Torah mind thinks. So they went out to fight the Greeks, right? Why were the Kohanim? In fact, the leadership of the Jewish people should not be the Kohanim. The Kohanim. The Romans says the reason the Maccabees failed to 100 years later was because they never gave the Maltes back to Eudah. Since they tried to hold onto the kingship, they lost it, right? There was a couple hundred years where the Jews ruled themselves. It was unbelievable. They wiped out the Greek. They forced a treaty and a truce with the Greeks. The Greeks got enough of them. These gorillas were killing them by the thousand. This little band of nomadic Jews. The Greeks eventually gave up. They pulled out. And the Jews took over. All five were killed. All of the five sons of Maltesia were killed. Simon was the last one, I think. Simon was the last one. But he managed to strike a deal with the Greeks, and there were decades of peace after that where Jews were self-autonomous. It took a heading to do that. And Kohanim shouldn't be the leaders. But the secret is, Kohan is the one who goes into the Miktash beyond where Greeks can reach. The Kohanim. And Maral says that Kohan ends up to 75. Kohan, 75. What is 75? The joint between 708. That's where Kohanis. How do you say seven and a half? You say 75. Seven is the natural world. Eight is the miraculous world. Kohan is in right in there. He's the one in the highest zone of the way. The Gomorrah is an argument. Of the Kohanim, our agents representing us to Hashem, or they are Hashem's agents representing him to us. Of course, if there's a Makhleq, it's like that. It means both or true. The Kohanis, our agent to him and his agent to us. He occupies the space above the world. Right? That's what Kohanis. And therefore, the Greeks who claimed they were above the Hechal had to be defeated by people who were high in the Hechalim. And that's why it's Kohanim Godolim. Why was it required? Why was it a Kohanim Godol? The Rambam says, "Kohanim, are you there? Kohanim, are you there?" The only ones who could defeat the Greeks was the Kohanim Godolim. What's Kohanim Godolim? Kohanim Godol means that he, you know what's the difference between a Kohanim and a Kohanim Godolim? A Kohan is this tremendous power of pollution that connects with the higher world. Kohanim Godol reaches into the source of total autonomy. You know Kohanim Godolim? Kohanim Godolim means always. Kohanim Godol always means the one that gives to others. Kohanim Godol is a Medisa Chesset. I care about Godol, I give about one more year. Right? Medisa Chesset means the one that gives to the others. Gives to others means the point of total origin. He's not dependent on anything. He can defeat the Greeks. No, I'll just give you a beautiful hint to this. There's a tradition we have that the Kohanim Godolim all came from Pinchas. Among the Kohanim, the Kohanim Godolim came from Pinchas. Right? Who was Pinchas? He was the only Kohan who got the Kohanim by his own efforts. The other Kohanim, Aaron and his sons were given the Kohanim as a gift. Pinchas was not given it. Pinchas was excluded because he was already alive at the time. So when Aaron and his sons got it, Pinchas didn't get it. But when Pinchas killed Zimri, then he got a gift of the Kohanim. But not only did he get Kohanim, he got such a powerful Kohanim that his children became the Kohanim Godolim. Right? By the way, just as an aside, who did he kill? Zimri. What was Zimri doing? Consulting with a non-Jewish woman is exactly the Greek issue. What Pinchas did was, right? He had zealously killed just like Matisios stepped forward and killed a Jew about to sacrifice a pig to Zeus and make the wrong connection between Asana Shem and the Marital connection. Pinchas was the one who killed Zimri and Cosby. Cosby, by the way, means falsehood. Cosby means the liar. The ones who falsify, the Greeks come along to detach us to give us a false philosophy. So here you have a Jew connecting to a non-Jewish deception, a non-Jewish imposter, pretending to be the right wife and Pinchas kills him. He becomes Kohanim Godol. These descendants are the ones who kill the Greeks, the Jews, consulting illicitly with Greek marrying into Greek culture and undoing their circumcisions are what could be more potent. He has Zimri using his circumcision to connect with a woman called Cosby. That's the wrong use of Bruce Miller. Pinchas kills him. Pinchas descendants of the Kohanim Godolim. What did they do? They killed the Jews who are consulting with Greeks and undoing their circumcision so they could look Greek. I mean, you can't say it more clearly, right? So Pinchas is Kohanim Godol. Kohanim Godol always means he is self-sufficient. He can do the remuner says that a child under Bermits, whose financially independent is called a Godol. A child over Bermits, whose financially dependent on his father is called a Catal. Kohanim Godol says Godol is 15-16-20 years old. He eats at his father's table, he's called a Catal. He's dependent. Godol means you are independent, you're not dependent on somebody else. Godol means you can give, right? Kohanim Godolim or those who reach up into a source of total autonomy. He brings down, he's the source. And therefore the Kohanim Godol, the Kohanim Godol, unlike other Kohanim goes into the Holy of Holies. The Holy of Holies is Midas Abino. That's totally beyond the natural world. And that is 67. That's 67. So you got Hekhali 65. Greece says we better than that 66. Yeah, but there's something you Greek you don't understand. That is Midas Abino, which is Kurdish Qadashim. That's Ema Bonim. That's the one above all the seven. That is 67. That's beyond you understand. That's Kohanim Godol. You know, a beautiful way to see this. You know, the Kohanim Godol melts into a world of paradoxical oneness. Like I said before, he goes into the Holy of Holies and the Torah says when he goes into the Lawyer Sham Adam. So the simple interpretation is when the Kohanim Godol goes into the Holy of Holies, he's got to be alone. No other man is allowed to be there. Doesn't say that. No other man. It says no man at all. The deep shot is when he goes in there. He's not a man because he'd be a man. Then be to there. Be him an Hashem. And therefore he goes in that moment, the Kurdish Qadashim, he can sell Hashem's name because that's what he's melted into. It's like Masha'a Bonikiviyach will be coming part as it were part of the Shrina himself, right? That is why the Greeks can't understand that. The Greeks can't understand the paradoxical nature of Hashem Al-Khano Hashem Hatt that Hashem is one is the source of many things. How can many be one? Greek philosophy can't understand the world of paradoxical. But that is how that's where it goes. You know what's amazing? What eventually made the nays of Hanukkah? Some oil, shaman, shmane, oil, sealed with the seal of the Krenkhodol. You know what's amazing is the the the the the Baysias, right? The Baysias asked the most famous question in all of Torah probably. Certainly the most famous question. The question is why do we celebrate eight days of Miracle when there was only seven days of Miracle, right? There was one flask of oil that was enough for one day and then there were seven days that came out of that. So the seven days of Miracle one day was natural, right? And like we said before, there's hundreds and hundreds of answers to this question. You should get yourself the book called Nair l'Ameir. Nair l'Ameir. Anyone gets a copy or you get me a copy as well. They'll accept it for you. That's a book that documents a hundred answers to this question. A hundred answers and that's only the beginning. There's probably a million answers to this question. So many answers, you know, the first one was natural, but we regard the naturalism miraculous, so that's eight days. Another answer is that it burned naturally for one day, but at the end of the day none of it was gone. It didn't burn down, so that wasn't really miraculous. Another answer is they used an eighth of it on the first day. So every day they used only an eighth in it burned all day. There's no shortage of answers, right? But the bus is something which transcends all other answers. The bus is the fact that they found one flask of oil that wasn't contaminated, was the miracle. The fact that there was one flask of oil that hadn't been contaminated by the Greeks, that was miraculous. What does it mean? Are the countries that sounds very miraculous to me? The depth of what he's telling you is the seal of coin-goddle, the Greeks cannot contaminate. They can't touch coin-goddle. The other oils they could all contaminate and destroy, right? They destroyed, they had to contaminate all, you know, the mess of sugyan aloha. How could they contaminate the base amictus in the first place? It's a mochum of la carca. Anything that's attached to the ground can't be contaminated. It says they took the misbehr, the shikzun, the other name is Behr, the stones of the altar, shikzum ansha yavan. They made them filthy. The Greeks contaminated the stones of the altar. You can't contaminate stones. They don't have a basekibble, they're not kalim. And the makami when they came in there, they dismantled the misbehr, and they hid it in a special place in the base amictus and they built a new one. Big sugyan aloha, how can you contaminate a building and stones? What does that mean, tumor? What kind of tumor is that? Big, big sugyan aloha, right? But they're not much contaminated, the base amictus. The oil's not questioned they're contaminated. What does it mean? That Greek tumor rises above the caducia of your oil. Not coin-goddle. There's one flask only. Duffka one. And it has the seal of the coin-goddle. The miracle, that's the real, that the Greeks cannot touch. That's the real miracle. If you like, the kasha shouldn't be why there was one day of natural and seven miraculous. The real kasha should be. There was only one day of miracle. There is to or nothing. Once you find the seal of the coin-goddle, that's the big deal. After that, of course, it'll burn for seven days. But the deep shatis, the first one, is Avramovina, the second, seven or hana. That's what it means. The fact that they found one flask that was not contaminated, right? That could maintain its caducia. You know, it means that in the deep, deep heart of the Jewish people, I need a chain of alibi air. That inner dimension, no matter how much the external has become hellonized, and attached to Greek culture and falling in love with it and so forth, there's always a sleeping, you know, in that sleeping being, there's always a source of caducia that transcends. And no matter what happens in the Kurdish kadashi, there's an ability to connect to something that can never be contaminated. And that is the flask of oil sealed with the seal of the coin-goddle. That seal is impervious to Greek tumour. That they couldn't find and contaminated. And of course, that's the real nace, the thing that goes above, not the thing that goes above the seven. So once they found that, that was able to burn for seven days. Of course, it can illuminate the seven natural. The one transcendent mida can illuminate the seven natural midas, of course. And of course, that's why we said, there's exactly what eight days mean. Not eight days means the mid of eight that transcends the seven. That is the meaning of Hanukkah. I just noticed yesterday for the first time, it might be wrong, but when you spell the word Hanukkah without a verb, it has the letters Koen Chess. Hanukkah is the letters Koen eight. Why would you need not to go? You can leave it vowsing. Yeah, yeah. Koen-goddle is eight gums, yeah. That's what Hanukkah, Hanukkah adds up to 63. Hanukkah, right? Isn't it right? Hanukkah? 63. What? 63 is always the mother quality, right? You have Ab-sag-mab-ban. Ab-i-72, that's the point of origin. Sug is the second one. That's the second one is the mother. Always, 63. Yes, this is known to the camelists. And 64 is case-based. That is that. The Hanukkah is the Hanukkah is the. It's reaching up into the one and bringing down that defeats the Greeks, that they cannot. The Greeks are always rooted in the world of human understanding. As much as human philosophy can reach, very, very powerful attraction. Of course, the real problem with that is an assertion of ego, what we can understand, right? With the reality, you know, and that's an atheistic philosophy. The first time in history, the Greeks came along and they fostered their atheism until then it was idolatry. The Greeks were there. Greeks had gods, but they were very, very finite and limited beings. And therefore, the first time they came into the world with the concept of the reason was because prophecy had left. There were no more prophets. There was no more reference to anything higher, but now it depended on human wisdom. And that was the battle that Greeks said, now that it's human wisdom. Here's what it is. It's our philosophy. And the Jews came along and said, "It is that human wisdom. It's called Toshib al-Pah." What did you have before that? You had idolatry, connecting to incredible powers in the world, and you had Naveem and Toshib Yxav against that. All that diet, prophets left, right? 250 years before that Purim, the light faded, Malachi and Shakylesa Saghdela, Shimonat Sadik met Alexander, Shimonat Sadik saw prophets, but they were no more in this generation. And right after that you have Hanukkah. In the time of Hanukkah, Yoseb and Yoseb and Yoseb and Yohanah and the Greeks killed, they were no prophets around at all. So the Greeks came along and said, "What even in a higher world where we don't see it and the Jews show us?" And the Jews said, "We can't show you got no more prophets anymore, no more miracles, no river tummim Latin up, no points of reference." Raphutna calls Hanukkah the Yompt of Toshib al-Pay, the Khad of Toshib al-Pay. It's the festival of the Oral Lord. Because now you have Khacham, so the Greeks said, "Well, let's show us, right?" Up till now we said to the Greeks, "What do you want? Come into our temple, we'll show you miracles, we'll show you miracles, we'll help prophets speaking as God is in the world, right?" And the Greeks came along and they said, "We're and we said to them, we can't show you any more." So they said, "Well, our philosophy is as high as it gets." So we said, "We've got a higher philosophy called Toshib al-Pay." Toshib al-Pay means that Khacham can fathom things with Rwakhakarish that can roar down from the Kurdish kudosh and the Greeks say, "You're talking nonsense, you're raven." You know, the first decision that was made by Rabbi, what was the first rabbinic decision in Jewish history with no reference to prophecy, the first big decision? Matisseau gets up, he kills this Jew, who's about, you know, they were standing in Modin and Tiochus sent a patrol of soldiers, he knew that this old man, Matisseau was very influential, Matisseau left Jerusalem because they had contaminated the temple, they were sacrificing pigs, it was terrible, terrible, and many Jews were in favor of it. So he went to live in Modin where he came from with these five sons. So they sent a patrol and they gave, what is his name, the guy, I think his name was Appelis, I think his name was, the Greek captain in charge of this little division, his name was Appelis, I think it says seven months ago, and he gathered the Jews together in the town square of Modin and he said to this old man, "You know, come, you're going to sacrifice this pig there, a pig there." And he said, "We're going to put it on the altar and you're going to sacrifice this pig to use, to show the Jews that you've accepted our religion, right?" And that was the moment. And before you could say anything, one Jew slowly walked past him and said, "I'll do it." You know, he's only killed otherwise. He sacrificed a pig who cares, killed his pig and put it on their thing. As he stepped forward to do it, Mata Siro leapt forward and killed him, killed the Jew. And in the moment of shock, they'd followed, they killed all the Greeks. His five sons helped him and the towns people got involved. And before the Greeks, although they heavily armed, but they were taken so completely by surprise, they wiped him out, they took their weapons. And that's how they hid in the hills that night. And then they started organizing guerrilla bans. And then this safer muckerman has all the battles they fought, how they did it, how they defeated the Greeks. The Greeks used to march in the fallings, right? They had, I think, a hundred men in a tightly knit. So the first, I think, the first, well, they had a thousand men together, I think, and the first five rows had this spears, used to put the spears forward between each other, tightly packed. And the guys behind had their spears vertical. So there's no way you could break into them. They used to march actually virtually touching each other, right? So the Jews used to attack them when they were going through the mountain passes. And there was no way that the tight formation became the biggest disadvantage. They couldn't move. So they used to attack them from the sides and wipe them out. And they killed thousands of some unbelievable rap. But they all died and fortune took about, took more than 10 years, I think, took a number of years until the Greeks finally capitulated. One of them, I think, and also got killed by an elephant, eventually the Greeks brought elephants in. So he ran underneath the elephant and he killed it, either with a sword or with a spear, the elephant fell on him. They had elephants with four soldiers in the, they brought elephants in with Indians to Indian elephants and some African elephants. They brought him in with Indian mohuts to lead the elephants and they had four Greek soldiers in every elephant on the back of the elephant, right? And the psychological powers enormous, and as the elephants come, it's like you see a Sherman tank or something today, you know, attacking you, right? The effect must have been even greater than that. So he ran and killed an elephant, but it fell on him. That's how he lost it. They all died in battles. One was trapped, I think, one of the sons, Yohan and I think was trapped, betrayed by one of the Greek, betrayed by Greek who agreed to make peace with him. They all died eventually. But but the point I want to make is this, when Matisseau, the old man, the father stepped forward and and he said, but in effect what happened was he set out made a decision and they said, I want you to see. And he said, "We're going to attack the Greek Empire." They said, "Rabbi, did you ask the prophets?" No, there's none of those anymore. Did you consult or inventumium? No, we don't have those. Like, how do you know this is the right thing to do? I think it's the right thing to do. "Tack the Greek Empire?" No, the first decision wasn't we going to, like, say, different sugar de Zebra, you know, in chakras. Or we're going to take a different spices on Saturday night, or plate the chalice. Don't wear the first diced Torah. Torah should well be a decision was attack the Greek Empire. It's like, "Rabbi, you and who's there?" You saw me, "Oh, this is me and my sons." You know, there's five of them, you know, the good boys. (laughs) They're sick of us. And the people followed him, you know, and they weren't even more ridiculous. So, you have to know that the Torah should well pair, right? And it was completely logical. "Rabbi, they're not trying to kill us. They're just threatening our religion. Let's debate them." When Purim came along, you could have said, "Let's fight 'cause we've got nothing to lose." It's a decree to wipe out all Jews on one day. We might as well fight, right? That wasn't the response. When it comes to Chanukkah, they're not trying to kill us. They just want to make us a little Greek, that's all. Just like, let them put a little stadium in your town. They'll have a few games. You know, they'll play their games. They'll have their Olympic games and all that. They'll have, you know, debate them. You know, it's a philosophical thing. You Jews are going to debate. No, no, we're going to go to war. Rabbi, you sure that's logical? You know, like, "Writska lives." Yeah, yeah, that's what. You sure that's what the Torah wants? Yep, yep. The Greek Empire, like with unlimited number of soldiers and elephants and all that, yeah. How did you get that decision? I think it's a right decision. It's like, give me off your head. And that was the, that same Jewish history. That's what, that's what stopped it. That's what stopped the right. They, they managed to hold the tide. This little band of Yashire Bochram, and that amazing sea out of Rishmah, and they defeated the Greeks. But they defeated it because they, right, they wouldn't capitulate. They wouldn't eat uncausal food when they were forced to and eat the pig that the Greeks made them, made them do. They, they wouldn't give in. But they were drawing their power from this thing called Kain Godel. Kain Godel is Kailish Kodoshim. Kailish Kodoshim is the, that is called Midas Bino. That's what it is. Bino is the one that transcends the Seven. That the Greeks cannot, that they can't get to. And therefore, that oil always ruins pure. By the way, it's amazing. You know, that one that was Hanukkah comes down down to the Seven that we live in. No, it has all made the Mitzvah. They made the Mitzvah of the Hanukkah, the Manoeira, that it has the Kedusha of the original Manoeira. What do we say, Hak, Nero Salane halaru, Kodoshim, the Khoshmanah, Simeh Hanukkah. These lights, we say Kodosh. We don't mean it's a reminiscence and a reminder. These are Kodosh, what do I use them? You may not use the Hanukkah lights. You can't light something from it. You can't light, you can't read your book about the Hanukkah lights. Why? Because Khazal made the Mitzvah that these lights have Kedushim, meaning there's a little bit of the original base of Miktas that's burning in your house. It's an incredible idea. When you can't use the lights, it's a symbol. It's Hanukkah, you can go to work, it's not shabby, it's a rubinic. It's a Jewish historical, you know, everything, huh? So no, they didn't make it like that. They made that when you light the Manoeira in your house and has the Kedusha of the Manoeira in the base of Miktas, how's that possible? That 2000 years later, yeah, two and a half thousand years later, in gold is green. You can write a little, that's the point. In the most mundane darkest reaches of history far away from there, a little bit of condition. But this verse M.S says that when the M.S. Miktas was destroyed, the Manoeira was hidden underground. You know, Yoshiyahu hid all the kelim. Shlomo made caverns under the M.S. Miktas. King Yoshiyahu, in the generation before the temple was destroyed, he knew it was going to be destroyed. He took the Manoeira and he hid it underground. Somewhere under the hills of Yurusha Lane, there's a cavern in which the Manoeira is, right? Says this verse M.S. and then that cavern, it's still burning. It's still burning. The Western light burned miraculously. It's still burning. It's just that it's hidden, right? There was a Gnese. It was taken underground and hidden. So the miraculous light is hidden now. It's still going on. Now any question is, you don't see it anymore, right? If you want to see it, you look at Yurusha and your window because there you've got a little bit of the Kanisha, you can't use these lights, right? It's a chazal brought that condition. It's like unbelievable thing, right? That's exactly what it is. That's what Khanna was saying. She said, you did one, but I'm bringing it down into the seven mundane aspects of the world. That is going back to Kerish Kudoshim. How do we do it today? It's a rhetorical path. We don't have prophets to speak to. We don't see the Rinpoche to me, right? We have Tarshbapir. Tarshbapir is that there's a connection. It's something that's deeper than Greek wisdom, right? That even when it cannot be explained logically that there's paradoxical, there's paradoxical, that it's one that is actually seven, that a Greek cannot understand. But nevertheless, nevertheless, right? They are not here any longer. And we are. I mean, they're here in their culture. But if we eventually will try. As long as we connect it to Hechall, as long as we connect it to that Milos Abino. Okay, so Manasseh put two idols in there. You see what he did? Manasseh, right? Manasseh, Nashani Elohim. Nashan, Manasseh means to forget. To make Anush is also from this language. Anush means critically injured, right? Anush is from their root. Nashani means to be disconnected, by the way, by the way, you know the candle is a symbol of connection. Patil in Hebrew, the wik means that which connects you. Patil means a connection. It connects the oil to the flame. The Gonavilness says that Nefesh, the human soul, is Neb-Til Shemin. Nefesh, that is Neb-Til Shemin, right? And that's why there are three names of Ashem together. The four million names of Ashem, Ashem, Anush, Elohim, together with Ashem, Ashem, Ashem, Ashem, adds up to 250 in there. So it is the three names of Ashem. Neb-Ashem, Nishma, Sodom. The human soul is in there. Ashem, Yudk-Evavkai, plus, yeah, I'll have done it. Noon Yud. Yeah, Arab, Yana Shem, Eki-E, plus, Ashem, Elohim, you add up to our three names together. It gets 250, right? By the way, what's 250? 250 is a 248, what is 250? Where's this Nair? What's the human body? 248 limbs in organs, which is 250. 248 plus the letters Nair is 250. So that's the candle, right? That's the candle, some people get married, you carry a candle for each one, two candles. Nair Ashem, Nishma, Sodom, right? And therefore, the names of Ashem, you try to work it out? Ashem, Eki-E, Yudk-Evavkai, three times. Plus, Eki-E, which is 21, 31. Plus, Adnoose, which is, how much is that, 91? 91. Alif, Alif, Noon Yudk-Evavkai. Alif, Alif, How much is that? Yeah, how much is that? What's that? 756. Yeah, plus-- 161, 16. 165 is 237, sorry. Plus, Elohim, Elohim, how much is that? 196, isn't it? Yeah, 250, isn't it? Add it up. That's an horizontal, right? The three names of Ashem, Ashem, yeah. Those are the three names from the source coming down into the world. That's Nair. So that is the-- that's what the candle is. It's the-- you're producing the flame from the material. That's what it is. That's the petil. That is the connection between worlds. And therefore, it's no accident. Of course, that's what the manoeir is. The manoeir symbolizes Torah. The manoeir symbolizes Torah Shabbat. The aeroine in the Kurdish Revolution. The aeroine is Torah Shabbat, and the manoeir that burns and shines a light into the world. That's Torah Shabbat. That's why it's a burning thing. It's not static like the aeroine. It's a process. It's burning, right? Roch is always movement, and that's-- that's why it is a candle that is always a symbol of the human nashama, nnefesh, roch, nashama, because it's a process. It's not a static thing. And that is the connection. It brings from the source, the shaman, which is eight, shines light in the world. That's what it is. So Manasha was the opposite. Manasha said, "In this holy of herries, we don't have one. We have two." You can't declare war on a shaman more openly than that. As you go to the Kurdish Kudashim, we're all melts into oneness, and you put two idols there. Right? That is exactly the battle that he-- that was the-- that's the Manasha-- I'm not shaming Kudashim, I beg to forget. Just like the Greeks, he shiqu, and name Shalisroh. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] They came along to make us forget Torah. It's exactly what the Greeks wanted to do. It's to make us forget Torah. And we come along to remember Torah. Zikaran always means-- just if you want another clue-- the Greeks made us forget Torah. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] And our job is to remember Torah, Zikaran. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] It's considered if Nivellifnim. What does the shafa do? The shafa makes zikronis. So the shafa has a dinner being Kurdish Kudashim. [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] The shafa has a dinner as if it's in Kurdish Kudashim. Right? It obeys the rules of something in the Kurdish Kudashim, not something outside, right? They're going to ask, how can you use a shafa that is the horn of a cow, of an animal, when that actually is a category sanegar problem, right? That was the golden calf. How can you use-- in the Holy of Holies, that doesn't apply. But the shafa has blown outside, yeah. But the shafa is like Kurdish Kudashim, right? Because it does zikronis. It takes you in to this-- takes you in. Zikaran is Zikaran Kylifnim, dummy. The shafa-- the blowing of the shafa takes you zig karon, gammatri. zero seed back to the source, that's where it takes you back inside Kurdish Kadoşi, right? And therefore the Greeks come last Kiham Terasev to make you forget Thor. And what do we do? Arjavis we go back to Kurdish Kadoşi, right? That's that's what the greatest is you and remember. So the Greeks come across you after remember, we're not there at the source anymore, we have to remember it, that is Tarsha Balpe, right? It's bringing it by that process, that dynamic process through history is bringing it into Gilo in the world. Okay, well we didn't do much much more today, but we'll be back for now.
