0:00 The merit of your grandfather. Do you know who his grandfather is? Tell them who the grandfather is. How many...? Rabbi Shmuel Salant. Rabbi Yitzchak Zundel of Salant. May their merit protect us, amen. This is the reason for 'Who establishes the border of the widow' - that where there was already a settlement, one makes the blessing - when they build what was there, it is renewed - like over a ruin, where one makes a blessing... One can see, as it were, from here, where the Holy One, blessed be He, always acts - He... No, but this is not the aspect - that before this He does not give; but He says: build it up in your impurity, and afterwards but afterwards I... after that I will take it. 'He swallowed wealth and will vomit it up; G-d will cast it out of his belly.'
0:33 what the Rav spoke about... Similar, right. So it is written in one place: 'on the wings of an impure dove.' I don't know what the source of this is - perhaps the Zohar... The concept 'on the wings of an impure dove.' Good. Does the Rav know this concept? As if it is the Sitra Achra - as if it takes from the holiness; they take... and then everything is taken back. That is how it appears; that is how I heard it from Rabbi Uzi Meshulam - 'the wings of an impure dove' - and I am looking for the source of it, and to this day I have not found it. They told me the Zohar...
1:02 Has the Rav heard of this concept? I heard - not exactly like this, in this form - that Rabbi Nosson of Breslov writes this in Choshen Mishpat, in the laws of land. From the side of the halachah in Choshen Mishpat: now a person came and took over your land; if you bring witnesses, let us say, Reuven and Shimon - he claims that this so-and-so who is building is wicked, building improperly: this is my area; I protest before you over what he is building. Everything he builds, in the end, belongs to you.
1:29 he took over the land, came onto my land. Now if I abandon it and do nothing, seemingly he has taken it. One has to begin to negotiate. So there Rabbi Nosson explains that it is the same aspect: all the things that came in concealment and in hiding, the Holy One, blessed be He, specifically turned them into holiness. Like for example, our master the Arizal writes in Introduction 22, in Shaar HaGilgulim - Introductions 21, 22, 23. He also writes that sometimes the soul of a great man comes from a simple man, and sometimes a simple man... a great man fathers someone wicked - Chizkiyahu and so on...
2:01 All the great ones - Avraham and Terach - he brings this. It is a kind of covering; these are the sources I saw. One can search there. So the 'Yosher Divrei Emes' - I saw this morning, that he writes a nice insight about Avner, and there... a person is judged every day. Right - 'every moment You test him,' yes. But in the end, what is he talking about? About before he wants to sleep.
2:26 This I am adding myself - it comes out... In essence, a person is judged every day; he needs... before he goes to sleep, so in essence he needs to do the teshuvah. Teshuvah, yes. Zohar, Korach, page 178a - Rabbi Shimon says this. The Beis Yosef, siman 239. 'Speak in your hearts upon your beds, and be still, selah.' Let a person do teshuvah before...
