The shiur in English

The Yanuka’s own words in this shiur, translated into English by Lehallel · 344 words · 2:02. Press a time to hear it said.

0:00 I wanted to say that the Baal HaSulam is one of the pillars of light that stood for the Jewish people, and of the important, precise and clear foundations, and the pure fine flour of learning the hidden Torah. When one wants to know Kabbalah, the commentary of the Baal HaSulam, the way of the Baal HaSulam, It is a great knowledge, holy and very awesome. There is also the book Shamati.

0:25 This is a book whose depth cannot be described or estimated, and its revelation of G-dliness. And Rabbi David Mintzberg, who was one of his students. Rabbi Moshe Weinstock, Oho, what a merit, your honor! Special - also to Rabbi Weinstock, and also a grandson of our master the Baal HaSulam. May his merit protect us, amen. He is of the holy offspring of the Baal HaSulam.

0:51 I heard from Rabbi Yechiel, he told me that their grandfather in the family, Rabbi David Mintzberg, I was there when the father of Rebbetzin Yuta Rachel in Bnei Brak passed away - if you knew them - their father, of the family, who is the grandson of Rabbi David Mintzberg, so the brothers told me there, which was in Bnei Brak about a year ago, I have known them already close to 20 years, that their grandfather, Rabbi David Mintzberg, walked on foot every Shabbos to the Baal HaSulam.

1:28 So once it snowed, and the rebbetzin, his wife, took his shoes so that he would not go. He would walk on foot in socks to the Baal HaSulam, on foot, on Shabbos, in the snow, to receive the Torah from him. He said that to receive the Torah from him is to receive from him the hidden Torah. Learning from him is the Torah of the hidden. Therefore, those who want to know the hidden and the wisdom of Kabbalah - this is the clean, straight and correct path in the hidden Torah.

1:54 May the merit of your grandfather protect us. Amen! Amen! To see the holy offspring of our master the Baal HaSulam.
