0:00 How are you, your honor? Good to see you. Joy - the joy of the festival. Good tidings. - Good tidings? Yes. 'Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever. Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever.' 'Let my mouth be filled with Your praise, all day with Your glory.' Baruch Hashem, truly we see that Hashem, blessed be He, does miracles and wonders, does not abandon us. We keep praying, and that is very strengthening. We see it in general too... truly miracles and wonders, miracles and wonders - so that all will crown Hashem as King, that all will serve Hashem, that all will be... serve Hashem, learn the Torah...
0:34 I read today the article the Rav wrote about Purim and Pesach. - Ah, nice, yes. Well, this is not the time to go at length, We are holding up the people; we already need to... But maybe the level of Purim is in fact greater - this is 'until he does not know,' which is more than knowing. The Rav speaks there about the essence of knowing. - Yes. But Purim is on an even higher level... from Purim to Pesach. - Yes. 'Until he does not know' is above knowing... it is like a withdrawal of the mochin.
0:58 So yes. Right, you are right, your honor, one can say that. I meant that the service is in da'as - 'to know Your way on earth' - so there are more vessels. The problem is that above da'as there are no vessels. Right. And then it is as if one cannot draw it down. I am saying that 'to know Your way on earth' means there is knowing that is in da'as, so it is as if one gathers more vessels in order to pass them on. one feels, as it were, more vessels.
1:24 'The Holy One, blessed be He, found no vessel that holds blessing for Israel except peace,' as it were - that is, the vessel - like there are vessels, which is the service in da'as, so it is as if one draws it down. The main thing is the drawing down. That is what I meant to say - the main thing is the drawing down. that is, as it were, to draw down the Torah, rather than - it is true that above da'as is the highest, but the problem is that there are no vessels. And whoever merits it - it is only he himself, but not others. It is like some tzaddik who delights on Purim, 'until he does not know,' in perceptions of G-dliness for hours with his eyes closed, and there is another Rebbe who does attain, but in da'as - he passes it on and teaches Torah for six hours. So
1:58 So for him it is a level of ascent alone, but for the other it is an ascent - because true, it is lower than him, but in the end it is more than that one. - Relative to it. - Exactly, because he reveals - he reveals many times more than him, so this is preferable, as it were. That is, as it were, what I explained, but what your honor says can also be said - it is the same thing, with Hashem's help. Thank you very much, Rav.
