R' Yirmi Ginzburg Torah 1 - Shiur 1

I assert that the Torah will not be forgotten because the Sefer Zohar and the teachings of Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai sustain and restore it. We trace how, after the destruction of the Second Temple, many feared the loss of Torah, yet figures such as Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Shimon renewed the chain of learning and preserved the tradition. I explain that Rabbi Nachman presents his own teachings as a continuation of that salvific stream and that his teachings, like the Zohar, can lead Klal and individuals out of exile. We distinguish between communal exile and personal exile and show how study of the Zohar and Hasidic instruction can return a person to spiritual freedom and confidence. We invite listeners to engage with these texts and practices as practical means to navigate hardship and to access deeper revelation and growth. I recount the historical rupture and the sustained promise that Torah will not be effaced. I describe the despair after the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash and the dislocation at Yavneh, when sages feared that the Devar Hashem would be lost and people would wander in search of guidance. I explain how voices in the Talmud foresaw a famine of spiritual knowledge and how countervailing testimonies insisted otherwise. I relate how Rabbi Kiva revived Torah study after catastrophe and how that precedent frames our trust that transmission can endure even through calamity. I then articulate the specific claim offered by Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and the subsequent mystical rationale. I show how the Sefer Zohar is presented as the luminous instrument that will carry Israel out of exile. I recount the teaching that the final letters of a targumic passage conceal the name Yochai, and how the Zohar’s light is said to illuminate the darkness of forgetfulness. I conclude by affirming that, for us, these narratives justify continued attachment to the Zohar and Hasidic exposition as vehicles of resilience and continuity.

Takeaways:

  • I describe how Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and the Zohar preserve Torah through exile.
  • We explain that the Zohar offers enduring light and practical guidance which helps communities survive spiritual darkness during exile.
  • I recount the Gemara debate about whether Torah will be forgotten and why it persisted.
  • We show how personal inner exile and communal exile both require different paths to redemption.
  • I assert that the teachings of Rabbi Nachman and the Zohar renew faith and study practice.
  • We emphasize practical steps such as consistent study, community support, and trust in tzadikim during hardship.
  • I note historic examples like Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Nachman demonstrating resilience that rebuilt Torah life after tragedy.

Transcripts

Speaker A:

There's a.

Speaker B:

There's many levels, and we'll try to dabble with what we can see out of the Shemaya.

Speaker B:

Let's begin.

Speaker B:

So you quote over here.

Speaker B:

So this is.

Speaker B:

This is the.

Speaker B:

This version here.

Speaker B:

I've been using this for just many years.

Speaker B:

Why are we talking about this?

Speaker B:

Huh?

Speaker B:

This.

Speaker B:

This cover from what is Evan Shassia.

Speaker B:

I don't know exactly who it is.

Speaker B:

Sure gross of AV you when I.

Speaker B:

12 Years ago, I don't know.

Speaker B:

Someone asked me to learn with him, Kut Maran.

Speaker B:

And it was a saber that I never touched before.

Speaker B:

Like, I. I don't.

Speaker B:

I heard it's very hard saver.

Speaker B:

I don't want to touch it.

Speaker B:

This person wanted to learn, so I said, okay.

Speaker B:

So I asked Reverger what, you know what, how do I get in over there?

Speaker B:

So he's like, use these.

Speaker A:

Use these.

Speaker B:

So I've been using them ever since, pretty much.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker B:

Yeah, big litvog happens to me.

Speaker B:

He never learned chesit ever again.

Speaker A:

We learned.

Speaker B:

We learned.

Speaker B:

Like, I promise, we learned like twice.

Speaker B:

And that was it.

Speaker B:

I. I know.

Speaker B:

I mean, he's.

Speaker B:

He's setting you off.

Speaker B:

Mama sent me off.

Speaker B:

And then.

Speaker B:

And then I'm not going to tell the whole story, but then a few chevre went over to Rebbe.

Speaker B:

This is like, I don't even know, 10 years ago.

Speaker B:

And there's a few cheva from the shul.

Speaker B:

You're there the beginning, and asked for someone to say shir in the kutimran.

Speaker B:

So V comes over to him and says, can you say shir in the kutimran?

Speaker B:

I said, absolutely not.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

I never learned to say for my entire life.

Speaker B:

I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker B:

He's like, just say the shir.

Speaker B:

That's it.

Speaker B:

I'm like, okay.

Speaker B:

And that was it.

Speaker B:

So I started saying, so we've been doing this for many, many years.

Speaker B:

We started the Khutimaran, we learned a lot of Torahs beyond, then went to Sichas Iran for a long.

Speaker B:

For 130shiram tons.

Speaker B:

And now we'll see if the Seyah Shemayah, the gates are opening, then we should start little Kut and ran again.

Speaker B:

But for those who haven't dabbled, it's Kade.

Speaker B:

And here you are.

Speaker B:

Come and see the wonders of Hashem.

Speaker B:

His galas niflom yisod gedula satanahe Eloki la gomer.

Speaker B:

Over here already.

Speaker B:

There's a great, amazing revelation.

Speaker B:

His galos niflan awesome revelation from the secrets of the greatness of the Tana Eloki tonight.

Speaker B:

Remind me, why do we call him the Tana Eloki?

Speaker B:

At the end of this story, we'll understand a little bit, right?

Speaker B:

No other Tana is called the Tana Eloki.

Speaker B:

We don't say Rabbi Kiv is the Tanaloki.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Shim Barechai is the Tanaloki.

Speaker B:

We don't say where's the Washington from the Tane Luki.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Where's this quote?

Speaker A:

There's a quote.

Speaker B:

The is a posse.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

This is Rabbi Nassan writing.

Speaker B:

I think this is Rabbi Nassin.

Speaker A:

Like everyone refers to him that way.

Speaker B:

Yeah, Tanaloki.

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker B:

You hear again, Moses.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I don't know who wrote that, but Minikala.

Speaker B:

So here we go.

Speaker B:

So I'm just going to read straight.

Speaker B:

That bold is.

Speaker B:

Is the words of Rabbi Nassim writing from Rabbi Nachman and the unbold is the explanations or the expansion, as you'll see, called Gemaras hinimatzinu.

Speaker B:

We find.

Speaker B:

So we find that Bar Yochai sometimes Ben Yochai.

Speaker B:

Some say it was before the cave.

Speaker B:

After the cave, whatever.

Speaker B:

Ben Yochai, he guaranteed that Torah would never be forgotten from amongst Claud Yisroel Al Yado through him, as Chazal teaches in the Gemara Shabbos.

Speaker B:

You see over there, Kuflam Ches.

Speaker B:

You might have seen this if you've learned Daf Yom, if you've ever learned this Gemara.

Speaker B:

When the Talmud of the door went to the Kerem Kerem b', Yavne, which was after the second BEI Hamigdish was destroyed.

Speaker B:

And Rauchi Menzakai was able to ask for three requests from Vespasian right before Titus of Russia came.

Speaker B:

One of the requests was to allow Yavneh Bechachma.

Speaker B:

I think the Lashimas leave Yavneh and it's Chachamim.

Speaker B:

Don't destroy them.

Speaker B:

And so he agreed.

Speaker B:

And so when they came back, even after the destruction of the second base of Migdish, we still had a place of learning in this place of.

Speaker B:

In Karm Yavne, the vineyard in Yavne Shamukum Shah.

Speaker B:

They used to sit in lines like it was a vineyard.

Speaker B:

That's why it's called Terem Bijavne.

Speaker B:

There's yeshiva.

Speaker B:

And they said.

Speaker B:

And there was a great despair that was going on.

Speaker B:

The basement was destroyed.

Speaker B:

Kali Shalom was in gullus.

Speaker B:

Many people were killed.

Speaker B:

It was a horrific time.

Speaker B:

We can't even imagine October 7th not to compare anything.

Speaker B:

It was like nothing compared to the millions and millions and millions in exile and everything.

Speaker B:

I can't even imagine.

Speaker B:

Can you imagine times like a hundred.

Speaker B:

It's unbearable to even think about such a thing.

Speaker B:

But they said at that point, I see the Torah.

Speaker B:

The Chachamim said it's going to happen, that Kalaisa is going to forget Torah.

Speaker B:

There's no way that they're going to be able to keep Torah in this way.

Speaker B:

We're totally decimated, destroyed, exiled, dead.

Speaker B:

No base Hamikdash, Shanama and the brother Apostik.

Speaker B:

The Gemara brings Apostate hine Yam and ba' im no Mashem Elokim.

Speaker B:

The days are coming and I'm going to send the famine to the Kadishba.

Speaker B:

We're going to send a famine to the land.

Speaker B:

Not a classic famine where they don't have bread.

Speaker B:

Everybody knows it.

Speaker B:

Probably from a song.

Speaker B:

But load some of the mind.

Speaker B:

Maybe Isha Ribo.

Speaker B:

Load some of the mind.

Speaker B:

They're not going to be thirsty of water.

Speaker B:

That's not what we're discussing.

Speaker B:

Famine.

Speaker B:

Ki' im lishmoah is dvarasha.

Speaker B:

The famine's going to be.

Speaker B:

Huh?

Speaker B:

Daddy also has a song.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Old school guys.

Speaker B:

Daddy.

Speaker B:

New school guys.

Speaker B:

Isharimo.

Speaker B:

People are going to be thirsty and hungry and dying for the Devar Hashem.

Speaker B:

Means the Devar Hashem.

Speaker B:

The word of God is not going to be clear.

Speaker B:

People aren't going to know.

Speaker B:

It's going to be forgotten.

Speaker B:

People are going to be wandering from ocean to ocean.

Speaker B:

And we talking about Mizra.

Speaker B:

From north to east.

Speaker B:

They're going to wander, searching for the Devar Hashem.

Speaker B:

Where's Torah?

Speaker B:

Where's the word of God?

Speaker B:

But they're not going to find it.

Speaker B:

So you see over here the saying that there's no chance.

Speaker B:

Game over.

Speaker B:

It's already going to be forgotten.

Speaker B:

They're bringing from Pasak and Navi.

Speaker B:

Oh, which Navi was this?

Speaker B:

I forget now.

Speaker B:

Amos.

Speaker B:

Anybody?

Speaker B:

Sure?

Speaker B:

Oh, they're saying short is.

Speaker B:

I think it was.

Speaker B:

I think it was Amos.

Speaker B:

I can't remember now.

Speaker B:

I think it's almost.

Speaker B:

They said, look at this navu.

Speaker B:

This Navu that says that there's going to be a thirst, a hunger for the Devara Hashem.

Speaker B:

That's referring to our time.

Speaker B:

Doesn't mean it's going to be forgotten.

Speaker A:

Just means maybe, like they don't have.

Speaker B:

It in completion, or they're searching for it.

Speaker B:

Simon means it's not going to be there.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

This is what he said.

Speaker B:

That's what they said.

Speaker B:

So the Gemara Dindars and Rashid over there and Tosos Devar hashem.

Speaker B:

What's the.

Speaker B:

What is the duar hashem that's going to be lost and there be a famine of.

Speaker B:

It's not there.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

One opinion is that there's going to be.

Speaker B:

They're not going to know Halacha, basic daily living halachem Zeha kates.

Speaker B:

Some say that D is going to be the case, meaning the hope of G is going to be gone.

Speaker B:

People aren't.

Speaker B:

There's no.

Speaker B:

There's no gula.

Speaker B:

Give you a little bit of a deeper explanation.

Speaker B:

Devar hashem zu navu.

Speaker B:

One says that there's going to be no more navua.

Speaker B:

Meaning there's going to be no more guidance, no more revelations of godliness in our lives.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker B:

No more navua.

Speaker B:

The dvarshem is gone.

Speaker B:

We're not going to live.

Speaker B:

Oma.

Speaker B:

You showed to two lavakes.

Speaker B:

What does it mean that they're going to be wandering, seeking the dvar hashem?

Speaker B:

They said.

Speaker B:

Chazal said over there.

Speaker B:

Amru.

Speaker B:

They said, I see the isha Shati tal kikar shel Truma.

Speaker B:

There's going to be a lady, she's going to take a bread.

Speaker B:

A loaf of truma is about to make Joshua.

Speaker B:

So she's going to carry this loaf around to the shuls and to the shoe and to the bate medrash, to the place of learning.

Speaker B:

Lay the to know is shitame.

Speaker B:

Is she tohar?

Speaker B:

Is this bread, Tommy?

Speaker B:

Can I eat it?

Speaker B:

Can I not eat it if it ain't maven?

Speaker B:

No one's going to know the halas.

Speaker B:

No one's gonna know basic halach.

Speaker B:

I don't think I know that.

Speaker B:

It's okay.

Speaker B:

Well, that part, the G over there discussing, I think Arisha and the Toma and all these different things.

Speaker B:

Yeah, we've definitely forgotten that stuff.

Speaker B:

Who was living at that time after the second basement was destroyed?

Speaker B:

Shalotishtakach.

Speaker B:

He says, absolutely not.

Speaker B:

It's not true.

Speaker B:

Torah will not be forgotten.

Speaker B:

Shanam Marnie brings a posse from Devaram Kilosi Shachak mi pizarro.

Speaker B:

And that's also a song.

Speaker B:

We got Barry Weber.

Speaker B:

We probably, you know, that's.

Speaker B:

That's right.

Speaker B:

Now, is there a daddy song also?

Speaker B:

Oh, no, I haven't freed mbd.

Speaker B:

No, the Torah will not be forgotten.

Speaker B:

Or the possibilities.

Speaker B:

It will not be forgotten from the children.

Speaker B:

Now that's.

Speaker B:

That's the.

Speaker B:

That's.

Speaker B:

The Gamarans argues this is the Torah will not be forgotten.

Speaker B:

And we know clearly he's right.

Speaker A:

Yeah, or like, they were just, like, sad or whatever they were.

Speaker B:

They were sad and depressed, and we can't blame them.

Speaker B:

And this parents said, torah's gone.

Speaker B:

It's over.

Speaker B:

Game over.

Speaker B:

Guys, hang up your.

Speaker B:

Hang up your Gemaras.

Speaker A:

Why would they say that they are Torah.

Speaker A:

They.

Speaker B:

They did.

Speaker B:

But future generations, they didn't believe that.

Speaker A:

Their own small generations can carry it on.

Speaker B:

It's hard to imagine what.

Speaker B:

What it was like then.

Speaker B:

I mean, you have a. Destruction of the base, Hamigdash, millions killed, exiled.

Speaker B:

You can't even.

Speaker B:

It's hard to be in that place.

Speaker B:

These are the big Zechamim.

Speaker B:

They're saying this is.

Speaker B:

This is the last generation.

Speaker B:

It's not going to last.

Speaker B:

It can't.

Speaker B:

We're.

Speaker B:

You can't build the basement.

Speaker B:

You can't.

Speaker B:

Yeah, we have each other, but we're old men now.

Speaker B:

How long is this going to last?

Speaker B:

No, it's not true.

Speaker B:

It's going to last now.

Speaker B:

That's how the Gemara ends.

Speaker B:

Now Rabbi Nachman says, how did he know?

Speaker B:

Where did.

Speaker B:

Where is he going to come and to reveal this promise to be true?

Speaker B:

K'm Avor bazaar she Menachem connects us Torah and the Tsar right's teachings.

Speaker B:

The Tsar says, this is impartial with this Khibor.

Speaker B:

Now, the Zohar Kaddish wasn't written down really until he died.

Speaker B:

That's when he allowed Rabbi Abba and other Tzadikim to write down his Torahs.

Speaker B:

But he was teaching all along the way.

Speaker B:

And there might have been some writings, but he's referring to the Zohar or Kaddish itself, with this.

Speaker B:

With this writing, with this book, the Eu Shu Sefer Zohar.

Speaker B:

This Sefer of the Zohar, Yifkon Bey min galusa Yifkon Beim is translated as Yetzu.

Speaker B:

How your domia goes.

Speaker B:

They're going to get out of Gullus through the Sefer Zohar is going to take Kalashrael out into Gulu.

Speaker B:

Now, they explained.

Speaker B:

So you see from this Zohar that the reason why Torah won't be forgotten, the reason we're going to get to Gula, is because of the Sefer Zohar, which is written by who or taught by who?

Speaker B:

Shambayechai.

Speaker B:

So Shimbayechai is saying, Torah is not gonna be forgotten because I'm not gonna let it be forgotten.

Speaker B:

That's what he meant when he stood up to the Tzadikim and said, Torah will not be forgotten.

Speaker B:

What he didn't explain.

Speaker B:

Only later did he explain.

Speaker B:

Because I'm not going to let it happen.

Speaker B:

The Zora kaddush is going to get us out.

Speaker B:

I don't think people class are going to explain the gemara like this.

Speaker B:

You're not gonna have like Rajba saying, oh yeah, because it's oftener.

Speaker B:

No, it's not gonna happen.

Speaker B:

The Russia Shiva aren't going to say it like this.

Speaker B:

Says that's the shot because Takatzakasha.

Speaker B:

How did Rabbi Shim Baruchai know now he had a posse to align.

Speaker B:

But the posse wasn't referring necessarily to Torah won't be forgotten.

Speaker B:

That's how he understood it.

Speaker B:

They say for Azor Shechiber Yochalo Yisroel, it's that through the Zohar Hakadosh that Kolaisa will remember Torah and will hold them in gollas.

Speaker B:

We're still in dolls right now.

Speaker B:

The zor and pneumis Hatorah and this whole side of the base measures over here.

Speaker B:

That's what he claims.

Speaker B:

And the BAAL Shem Tov comes from that.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Nacho comes from that place.

Speaker B:

That's what's going to give Klaus Achim throughout the dark days of Europe and the dark days of all the gullus and gullus America right now.

Speaker B:

Ulav Asov and from holding on to the sefer of Zoar and learning from it aflatais my gollas.

Speaker B:

It's going to get us out of goals.

Speaker B:

Whenever Rabbi Nachman speaks just, you know, every time Rabbin Akman teaches in Torahs, he's always speaking on multiple levels and beyond the pshat.

Speaker B:

The rem is the ju and the so that he's able to say a Torah on all levels at once.

Speaker B:

Like Rash, he always is speaking, I believe, very strongly to the prat and the cl.

Speaker B:

And he's speaking to Klaus Row, but he's also speaking to every single individual.

Speaker B:

Meaning there's going to be a.

Speaker B:

There's a gullus and a gula for Klal, right?

Speaker B:

We're all living in gullus that were as a cloud gonna go to the base of Migdish and have a ghoul of the claw.

Speaker B:

That's going to be for everybody.

Speaker B:

But there's also for each individual personally in their own lives in different ways.

Speaker B:

There's going to be go and it's going to be a person of mashiach.

Speaker B:

Everybody in their own way person could have a gullahs because he can't do his math homework and he just doesn't understand math.

Speaker B:

That could be a Gullah.

Speaker B:

And then he has a Gula when someone teaches him.

Speaker B:

It's a very simple Marshall people have different.

Speaker A:

Many gullises and Gulas within them.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

But there's also like the.

Speaker A:

Like a general.

Speaker B:

A general type of personal Gullahs and then there's many Glios and we have to learn how to get out of that.

Speaker B:

Learn how to get out.

Speaker B:

And that's what the to.

Speaker B:

That's what the Tzadikim, the Bali Mus are also in their way.

Speaker B:

But the Talmidim are trying to teach us how to get out of gullus.

Speaker B:

Gullus means you've been kicked out of the Eretz Yisrael.

Speaker B:

You're not connected to a Kaddish bar.

Speaker B:

And Gula means you are connected.

Speaker B:

So you could be.

Speaker B:

You could be in Gula in New York and you could be a Gullus in Eretz Yisrael.

Speaker B:

It's not really dependent on the land you're in.

Speaker B:

It depends on the inside state.

Speaker B:

The go.

Speaker B:

The Ghul of Clal Yisroel is going to also depend on where we're living.

Speaker B:

When there's a Gulu Mamish, we're going to be strong.

Speaker B:

But when it comes to a personal relative, it doesn't have to depend on where you are living.

Speaker B:

It depends on your inner state.

Speaker B:

Light and darkness inside himself.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Is it clear?

Speaker B:

How do you define.

Speaker A:

Is the definition the same?

Speaker A:

The personal goals in Gula, even if it looks different?

Speaker A:

Like, how are you defining Ghalsing Gulf.

Speaker B:

On a personal level?

Speaker B:

How would I define like give it like a.

Speaker B:

Like a dictionary.

Speaker A:

I'm just saying like.

Speaker A:

Like what.

Speaker A:

I can't.

Speaker A:

I'm trying to like thinking, you know, like in my life, let's say like what struggle we have.

Speaker A:

What is it?

Speaker B:

And gullus is when a person feels distant, when a person feels tight, when a person feels overwhelmed, when a person feels like he's never going to get out of this problem.

Speaker B:

It's a cottoness of like Mitzrayim, which is the first of all.

Speaker B:

The gullus is also like tight.

Speaker B:

A tightness.

Speaker B:

It's boundaries.

Speaker B:

You're stuck.

Speaker B:

Skull says you're stuck.

Speaker B:

There's many different ways to.

Speaker B:

It's important to go through.

Speaker B:

You can give probably multiple Shearman.

Speaker B:

So what the word gullus is and then what is Gula to that goal?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

It would take time to unearth that.

Speaker B:

And something we could do maybe when.

Speaker A:

We say every day to peacefully Yeshua So does that mean also our personal.

Speaker B:

Issue also person classic is it's referring to the the real Yeshua like the Gemara says.

Speaker B:

But there's no question everything's on both levels.

Speaker B:

Always, always, always everything's on both levels that you're not taught.

Speaker B:

We're usually just talk about claw, claw, claw, claw.

Speaker B:

Yeah, which is good, it's very important.

Speaker B:

But.

Speaker B:

But that's not personal.

Speaker B:

Then it doesn't feel like you're right, you're connected to this thing.

Speaker A:

What's my thing going to do for the big right?

Speaker B:

So we have to remember that's again, it's always at both levels.

Speaker B:

And it's not selfish.

Speaker B:

It's not selfish to allow yourself to the laborator into you and not to just everybody else.

Speaker B:

It's unselfish.

Speaker B:

When you get to your state of Gula, the problem is you know why people have a problem with right?

Speaker B:

That's one of the biggest problems you'd see.

Speaker B:

Maybe you would say, I mean the news makes it a lot bigger than it is.

Speaker B:

I don't know if it's really such a big problem.

Speaker B:

But you know, there's problems about hafta rich hamocha.

Speaker B:

The biggest problem is that if you're in a state of gullus, then you don't have Gula connective capabilities.

Speaker B:

Because when you're on gullus, you're in defense mode, right?

Speaker B:

When you're in goals and you're in exile, you're.

Speaker B:

You're scared, you're afraid, you're by yourself, you're nervous, you're.

Speaker A:

What's the word?

Speaker B:

When you're able to get attacked, you're vulnerable and vulnerable.

Speaker B:

So you have to hold on tight.

Speaker B:

So if you're on tight, you can't then reach out to the other person.

Speaker A:

No expensiveness.

Speaker B:

No expensiveness.

Speaker B:

So what we want to do is we want to learn how to be free men.

Speaker B:

And Ka', ula, when you're in Gula, you're confident your self esteem.

Speaker B:

So you couldn't hug a guy who's not your same mushkafa.

Speaker B:

What's the problem?

Speaker B:

When you're confident, you could be expansive.

Speaker B:

When you're not confident, then you gotta hold on to yours.

Speaker B:

Gotta make sure because I don't need to take it.

Speaker B:

You're insecure.

Speaker B:

If you're insecure, I can't be friends with that guy.

Speaker B:

He's making me insecure.

Speaker B:

Guilty, guilt, shame, all this stuff.

Speaker B:

So we have to live free.

Speaker B:

The Zohar Kadish is one of the ways we can live free.

Speaker B:

Now what about the Zohar Kodesh, you have to learn it to find out.

Speaker B:

But the Zohar teaches.

Speaker B:

The Zohar teaches how to live with the Kaddish Baruch, the BAAL Shem to V Koddish, he brought the teachings of the Zohar down to our level.

Speaker B:

And then the Tzadikim, the Magid and the Kadushlavi, and Rabbi Nachman and Altar Rebbe and all of Zush and Rabbel Melech all brought it down even further.

Speaker B:

And till today, we're still trying to bring down the Zora Kaddars down to Aramadrig.

Speaker B:

That's.

Speaker B:

That's really what we're doing.

Speaker B:

All the Torah of Hasidis is coming from the Zohar.

Speaker B:

And that's brought many, many people for those who learn it in a deep way, and Bar Hashem, who are an Weimberger and even Kmh and Rab Yossi, they're bringing these Torahs to a level that people can understand.

Speaker B:

And it's giving them expanded consciousness.

Speaker B:

It's giving them ability to go through difficult times.

Speaker B:

Torah Hasidis teaches you how to maneuver and navigate times of cottoness smallness.

Speaker B:

That's what we're teaching.

Speaker B:

That's our learning.

Speaker B:

So it's going to be from this.

Speaker B:

Sefer says he didn't say that explicitly.

Speaker B:

He didn't want to tell them.

Speaker B:

You know, to the Chevrov, he's like, I know that we're going to be okay.

Speaker B:

You're probably.

Speaker B:

But I'll tell you, I'll tell you one thing now.

Speaker B:

I wasn't going to say until the end, but.

Speaker B:

But still, how did Shimurich.

Speaker B:

I know I'm asking a question and you could.

Speaker B:

You could come up with this answer.

Speaker B:

How did he for sure know that?

Speaker B:

It's not going to be.

Speaker B:

It's not like, how did he know the Zora Kodesh is going to work?

Speaker B:

Torah is already forgotten.

Speaker B:

Why?

Speaker B:

Because I have this saber that's going to get us out of.

Speaker B:

Out of Gallus.

Speaker B:

One second.

Speaker B:

How did.

Speaker B:

How did he really, really know?

Speaker B:

Yeah, Ali.

Speaker B:

It'll lit him up.

Speaker A:

These ideas.

Speaker B:

I want more.

Speaker B:

Why?

Speaker B:

Because.

Speaker B:

So fine, it lit him up great.

Speaker B:

But who says gonna let everybody else up?

Speaker A:

That's his bet.

Speaker A:

I know.

Speaker B:

Give me more.

Speaker B:

Okay, okay.

Speaker B:

Give me more.

Speaker B:

Give me more.

Speaker B:

Who was he?

Speaker B:

When did he live?

Speaker A:

Drink.

Speaker A:

Oh, it's during the gullus also, like the Romans are gonna kill him.

Speaker B:

And let's go back.

Speaker A:

Let's go back.

Speaker B:

The greatest all transmission of Torah is going through Rebuke eva.

Speaker B:

He has 24,000 talmidim.

Speaker B:

24,000.

Speaker B:

All of Torah is going to pass through them.

Speaker B:

Could you imagine if we.

Speaker B:

We'd have 24,000 bate medish yet.

Speaker B:

They all died.

Speaker B:

They were all killed.

Speaker B:

They pay Sachar at Tserez.

Speaker B:

They all died.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Why?

Speaker B:

Well, Nogu covered Zelozet.

Speaker B:

They didn't have avto, echecan, mocha.

Speaker B:

And what happened?

Speaker B:

The Akadnas.

Speaker B:

Yes, exactly.

Speaker B:

There's lots of Torahs.

Speaker B:

We could say on what that was.

Speaker B:

Over the years, we've spoken about what that, how that comes out.

Speaker B:

But what happened, Rabbi Kiva?

Speaker B:

You think it's game over?

Speaker B:

That's it.

Speaker B:

Game over.

Speaker B:

24,000 Tamidan die.

Speaker B:

That's it.

Speaker B:

I'm a bad Rebbe.

Speaker B:

Hashem hates me.

Speaker B:

He doesn't want me to teach.

Speaker B:

The Torah is gonna be forgotten.

Speaker B:

Game over.

Speaker B:

Hang up my.

Speaker B:

You know, my Gemara.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna go hit the, you know, I don't know, take a pickleball or something.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Kiva says, no, whatever Kiva do, says the Gemara, right there.

Speaker B:

He went to the south and he started again with five Tamidim who was one of the Talmudim Baruchai.

Speaker B:

So Roshem Rabariichai was the epitome of Shlo Tishtav Kachorim.

Speaker B:

He lived it.

Speaker B:

He is the one.

Speaker B:

Torah wasn't forgotten.

Speaker B:

He was living it at that time.

Speaker B:

He saw that it wasn't over.

Speaker B:

And he says, and we can continue that with the Sefer Zo, with our teachings.

Speaker A:

Not only that.

Speaker B:

He saw it work.

Speaker B:

He wasn't.

Speaker B:

He was exactly.

Speaker A:

He did it.

Speaker B:

He did it.

Speaker B:

And he said, I'm vir.

Speaker B:

Going to do it.

Speaker A:

It worked.

Speaker A:

He didn't know.

Speaker A:

He didn't necessarily do it through the Tsar.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker A:

Ravish or whatever.

Speaker B:

No, he didn't.

Speaker B:

But he.

Speaker B:

Because he was a living embodiment of the Torah at that point, the Torah should have been game over.

Speaker B:

When the basement was destroyed and everybody was being killed, it should have been over.

Speaker B:

It should have been over.

Speaker B:

And it was when.

Speaker B:

And then 24,000 talmidim died.

Speaker B:

The Gemara says the Torah was.

Speaker B:

The Gemara says the world was Shomei.

Speaker B:

It was destroyed from Torah.

Speaker B:

That's what the Gemara says.

Speaker B:

That means there was Mamish, like nobody learning anymore.

Speaker B:

And yet Rabbi Kiv picked himself up, taught five big Tamidim who were still around, and Torah started again.

Speaker B:

So now it's a few years later, and Cham Cham said, yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker B:

It's not gonna happen.

Speaker B:

Shambhbach has said.

Speaker B:

What are you talking about?

Speaker B:

What happened then?

Speaker A:

That they said it's not gonna happen.

Speaker A:

They were just traumatized still from.

Speaker B:

And it wasn't there.

Speaker B:

But again, it's hard to imagine, but probably, yeah, destruction.

Speaker B:

Like, we know Al Kal doesn't want us.

Speaker B:

He doesn't.

Speaker B:

He clearly doesn't want us.

Speaker B:

He allowed destruction of the base of Migdish.

Speaker A:

So his real proof is what happened.

Speaker A:

It's not really.

Speaker B:

It's not the fact that he's going to be teaching.

Speaker A:

He saw it work.

Speaker A:

He didn't see the Z work.

Speaker B:

He just saw the Lord takes care.

Speaker B:

But he had.

Speaker B:

He had a haftach.

Speaker B:

He had a bit.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker B:

He says it's not.

Speaker B:

It's going to happen.

Speaker A:

Now.

Speaker B:

Don't forget this also.

Speaker B:

I don't know all the years, but also lived in a cave for 13 years, right?

Speaker B:

That's when.

Speaker B:

That's how he came out with the Zohar.

Speaker B:

A lot of.

Speaker B:

A lot say.

Speaker B:

Some don't say that, but many say that he came out of the cave, he learned sefer, the secrets in the cave, which makes sense.

Speaker B:

And he comes out with that.

Speaker B:

So again, a second time he.

Speaker B:

The Torah should have been forgotten, meaning his own personal Torah living in a cave for 13 years.

Speaker B:

Caribs, Caribs, we all know Boxer doesn't.

Speaker B:

Doesn't go.

Speaker B:

But he lived on.

Speaker A:

This guy.

Speaker B:

Give your buck to somewhere else.

Speaker B:

It's crazy.

Speaker B:

Again, he lived.

Speaker B:

He was the physical embodiment.

Speaker B:

He was the epitome of Torah not being forgotten.

Speaker B:

So when.

Speaker B:

When he came out of the cave and the zora came out of him, he says, this is it.

Speaker B:

He knew from a Kaddish boat.

Speaker B:

This is it.

Speaker B:

It's going.

Speaker A:

He's like a Simon.

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah, he was a Simon.

Speaker B:

And then he created the Sebor world.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker B:

They saw that the sitra achara, the other side, the bad side, the evil side, was going to overpower Kalisro at the end of Golis.

Speaker B:

And it's going to be very difficult to remember Torah and to keep it.

Speaker B:

Yaakan ben yehayan rabishem benichai said Torah is not going to be forgotten because through the safe rezoh that he's going to reveal himself.

Speaker B:

Hator lot hashtachechach haf bisofa guls Torah is not going to be forgotten.

Speaker B:

The zor, which means light, radiance, it's going to light up the darkness.

Speaker B:

Like the word tishtakach comes from the word shikha shin chav ches to forget such around the letters Ches shin Chof is choshech forgetting.

Speaker B:

It's like a darkness, Right?

Speaker B:

When you forget something, you go dark.

Speaker B:

So he brings the Zohar, which means light.

Speaker B:

No, no, no.

Speaker B:

We're gonna light up the night.

Speaker B:

We're gonna light up the night, right?

Speaker B:

Oh, see, we're doing a lot of songs tonight.

Speaker B:

It's like a digging chabro here.

Speaker A:

I have a little DJ booth here.

Speaker B:

As you go play the songs, I'm not gonna stop you.

Speaker B:

Maybe next time it's a different way.

Speaker B:

Yeah, okay, we're good.

Speaker B:

Vahata.

Speaker B:

Now listen to this.

Speaker B:

Now come and see.

Speaker B:

Understand the mamish, the wonders within the Torah.

Speaker B:

Torah, B' Chavn Yochai atz, Hazel posseq.

Speaker B:

What was the posseq besides his life?

Speaker B:

And what was the posse that he relied on?

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

If you want to bring a riot to something, you gotta.

Speaker B:

You need an asmakta from a posse.

Speaker B:

So what was the posseq?

Speaker B:

He said?

Speaker B:

We said, it will not be forgotten.

Speaker B:

From the children.

Speaker B:

Zaru kibe emes says, Rabbi Nachman, is this in truth?

Speaker B:

This posse itself is hinted to the Nistir Sodazeh.

Speaker B:

The secret that and the Zohar, which is going to keep us in gullus and hold us and get us out into Gula, is hidden.

Speaker B:

Hidden in the posseq.

Speaker B:

Where?

Speaker B:

Shaidei Zarashal Yochai.

Speaker B:

Through the children of Yochai.

Speaker B:

Who's the child of Yochai?

Speaker B:

Shimon Shemin ben Yochai.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Through the children of Yochai.

Speaker B:

Shemin Yochai Al Yodo.

Speaker A:

Through him.

Speaker B:

Yisroel.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Through the child of Yochai.

Speaker B:

Who's Shemin?

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Tower is not gonna be forgotten like he said.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Good.

Speaker B:

If you look at the end letters of the posse.

Speaker B:

Look.

Speaker B:

Ki lo si shachemi pizarro.

Speaker B:

Look at the last letters.

Speaker B:

It spells Yochai.

Speaker B:

See that the Torah is not going to be forgiven from his children.

Speaker B:

Whose children?

Speaker B:

Yochai's children.

Speaker B:

Who's that referring to?

Speaker B:

Shimon ben Yochai.

Speaker B:

So it's through the son of Yochai who's him to him the Paslik Torah is not going to be forgotten.

Speaker B:

And this hint that was revealed in the pulse, it's specific.

Speaker B:

From his child in the posse.

Speaker B:

Not just the children.

Speaker B:

His.

Speaker B:

Who's the his?

Speaker B:

Who's referring to?

Speaker B:

Who's the single person?

Speaker B:

It's the child of this one himself.

Speaker B:

Who's hidden in the posse.

Speaker B:

Who's hidden in the posse?

Speaker B:

Yochai.

Speaker B:

So it's from his child.

Speaker B:

Shimon Torah is not going to be forgotten.

Speaker B:

That's what Rabbi Nachim's teaching.

Speaker A:

Does anyone else see this?

Speaker B:

Yeah, it's not upshot in the gemara.

Speaker B:

Yeah, this is his.

Speaker B:

This is the big kadish.

Speaker B:

This is the Tani.

Speaker B:

Through the child of Yuhai, which are sent to in this and letters of the posse itself.

Speaker B:

Through him the Torah will not be forgotten as himself taught.

Speaker B:

This is through the Ayida Zoro, through the Zohar that he's going to teach him yet.

Speaker A:

Goals.

Speaker B:

We're going to get out of goals.

Speaker B:

Amazing thing.

Speaker B:

You should know the secret Rabbi Shimon himself is really hinted to another posse because this posse was really a secret of Yochai, his father and the child of Yochai that says Rabbi Nachman, we need a.

Speaker B:

We need a secret of Rabbi Shimon in the posse.

Speaker B:

Kida, you should know.

Speaker B:

In Daniel that's a safer.

Speaker B:

By the way, nach.

Speaker B:

I always try to point out this form of nach that people don't even know exist.

Speaker B:

Daniel is one of them.

Speaker B:

It's also like a lot of Aramaic, so no one tries to learn that one at all.

Speaker B:

But there Navuchanetzer has a dream.

Speaker B:

And the dream he says ear means a malach.

Speaker A:

Shoot.

Speaker B:

There's going to be a certain malach that's awake forever.

Speaker B:

The kadish and his holy yard Mijian came down.

Speaker B:

That's what he dreamt of this guy, right?

Speaker B:

This king.

Speaker B:

He jumped this dream, some malach that's going to be awake forever.

Speaker B:

And he's holy.

Speaker B:

He's going to come down.

Speaker B:

What are the roshe tevos of Irva Kadish, Min Shemay Nachos.

Speaker B:

So he is the malach that's going to be awake forever.

Speaker B:

Why?

Speaker B:

Because he's going to be the one who's going to do the Zora Kaddish.

Speaker B:

He's going to wake up Claudette Yisroel from the darkness to the light, from godless to.

Speaker B:

And it's after through him that we're going to get out.

Speaker B:

And that's the secret of Hashem in this posse.

Speaker B:

So Tana Eloki, he's a tana because he taught Torah.

Speaker B:

And Eloki is Godla because he's the malach that comes down, right?

Speaker B:

This is the tana Eluki Roshem.

Speaker B:

So it's brought down.

Speaker B:

If you look on the bottom, go to the left column.

Speaker A:

There's really no other giving giver over of Torah from the good time.

Speaker A:

Anything that is celebrated on a yearly basis other than.

Speaker A:

Does this make sense?

Speaker B:

Well, I mean, the.

Speaker B:

The other side will tell you it's because we celebrate all the other terror gemara every day.

Speaker B:

But there's no Rashi Day, no Rambam Day should be.

Speaker B:

And it's getting.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

You see, if you pay attention to.

Speaker B:

To what's going on in Clog Omer.

Speaker B:

The fire of log is burning brighter and brighter and bigger and bigger every single year.

Speaker B:

For those who are a little bit older, 20 years ago, garnish was happening.

Speaker B:

Nothing.

Speaker B:

There's one bonfire in Borough park.

Speaker B:

w, Stalin or something now in:

Speaker B:

Now it's.

Speaker B:

It's burning everywhere.

Speaker A:

Everywhere.

Speaker B:

It's like the cool thing to have a bond for not just Israeli kids, you know, lighting these huge things on fire and dangerous everywhere also.

Speaker B:

Yeah, these things are happening.

Speaker B:

Uman.

Speaker B:

65,000 People this year.

Speaker B:

I don't even remember imagine such a thing.

Speaker B:

It's grown.

Speaker B:

Chef's coming.

Speaker B:

Cool is coming.

Speaker B:

How's it coming through?

Speaker B:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker B:

Also.

Speaker B:

Or also Dafyomi also.

Speaker B:

Dafi.

Speaker A:

Don't.

Speaker B:

Don't throw that away.

Speaker B:

But you see this on the session.

Speaker B:

Sparkles coming from.

Speaker B:

From the world of Zoar and Chassidis and Amkis.

Speaker B:

You're starting to see it's grown.

Speaker B:

So here he brings down number two, left column in the middle.

Speaker B:

Number two.

Speaker B:

This is like the.

Speaker B:

The biography of Rabbi Nachman.

Speaker B:

Rabbi.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Nasan.

Speaker B:

So very quickly, let's read this.

Speaker A:

Rabb Nachman didn't write anything.

Speaker A:

Everything was.

Speaker B:

Yeah, there's a few.

Speaker B:

Just I don't know how many.

Speaker B:

There's a few Torahs that he wrote himself and Rabbi also put in but come out.

Speaker B:

Everything was.

Speaker B:

When Nassan heard it and then wrote it down.

Speaker B:

There's no Torah's brass with Arab Nassim.

Speaker B:

Nothing came out.

Speaker B:

Nothing.

Speaker B:

Everything.

Speaker B:

So in.

Speaker A:

In the Nachman have kids?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Does direct descendants of Nachman today?

Speaker B:

This.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

I don't know if you.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker B:

He had a few children.

Speaker B:

Some.

Speaker B:

Few of them died.

Speaker B:

Yeah, a few of them died.

Speaker B:

He says when he's on the way to Uman, he said, always going to help Klaisa.

Speaker B:

There's really no fatherless whatever orphaned generation.

Speaker B:

Hashem's always.

Speaker B:

There's Rabbi Nachman speaking on the way to.

Speaker B:

He's in the wagon.

Speaker B:

In the back of the wagon.

Speaker B:

Of course, obviously you have to say that.

Speaker B:

So Rabbinach.

Speaker B:

Oh, another song.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

He says, in the Gemaran Shabbos, we.

Speaker A:

Make our own version of background with our faces.

Speaker B:

You can do whatever you want.

Speaker B:

There was a tana over there.

Speaker B:

That said Gemara says, I see the Torah Torah is going to be forgotten.

Speaker B:

Honor of Amar.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Sherman answered him and said, no love, keep his.

Speaker B:

We're going to get out of gullus with the Zohar from his children.

Speaker B:

And that's why she mean himself.

Speaker B:

He seems to do in the posse.

Speaker B:

And we revealed this secret.

Speaker B:

It's printed in the Kutamaran Chavakalov.

Speaker B:

That's what we just read now.

Speaker B:

Anisi va amarti lo I.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Nelson said to Rabinach, Do you think Rabbi Shimon Bar Yechai is getting Hana pleasure And Shemayim from the Remiz that you brought out in the pas about him?

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Was getting a lot of hana that I revealed this because even though he might have known it, he never said.

Speaker A:

It.

Speaker B:

Is hidden in the posse himself.

Speaker B:

This is a different shim are different.

Speaker B:

You can't understand.

Speaker B:

This is what Rabbi Nachman said.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Shem is a different inni.

Speaker B:

He's a malach.

Speaker B:

That's why he brought the Russia tables Ear a holy malach that came down from Shemaim like we just read now.

Speaker B:

Rabbi Nachman says, listen to this.

Speaker B:

This is only Menachem.

Speaker B:

We can say this Rashima is a different Indian.

Speaker B:

He's Masha Malch.

Speaker B:

But for Akshav now meaning now it is Yesh Nachal Nove Mikra Chma.

Speaker B:

There's a new sheriff in town.

Speaker B:

There's a flowing river.

Speaker B:

Nachel Noveh.

Speaker B:

Listen to this.

Speaker B:

Nachel Noveh.

Speaker B:

There's a flowing river.

Speaker B:

Mekor Chachma from the source of Chachma.

Speaker B:

That's what Nachman said.

Speaker B:

And the Roshetavos.

Speaker B:

Everybody knows.

Speaker B:

Look at the Roshevas.

Speaker B:

Is Nachman.

Speaker B:

She was a different Indian.

Speaker B:

But now there's me.

Speaker B:

Now there's me.

Speaker B:

Now Ramanachan had no guy, but he was so in control.

Speaker B:

But he was the source of wisdom.

Speaker B:

That was a flowing river.

Speaker B:

And that's where Torah's comes from.

Speaker B:

So Rakuta Meran is what Rabbi Shem.

Speaker B:

What Rabbi Nachman is saying is that just like the Zoar Da Yefkim and Mingalus is going to take us out of Gullus.

Speaker B:

So too my Svaram Alkutimaran is also going to take us out of Gollus Gam Karnishma Sha amar alatsma.

Speaker B:

He said this about himself, that he is like a river that purifies from all the blemishes, all the kisaman.

Speaker B:

Listen to this.

Speaker B:

You ready for this?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I don't know who the Source of this is do the gematria.

Speaker B:

Do it on the phone if you want.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Ready?

Speaker A:

Let's do it.

Speaker B:

Okay, we're gonna do Rebbe Shemin Ben Yochai.

Speaker B:

So Rebbe is 212.

Speaker B:

Shemin.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker B:

466.

Speaker B:

I think Ben is 52.

Speaker B:

And Yochai.

Speaker B:

I think 35.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker B:

What do you got?

Speaker B:

Some 65.

Speaker B:

34.

Speaker B:

What is it?

Speaker B:

34 With olive.

Speaker B:

It's not.

Speaker B:

Oh, 35.

Speaker B:

So what is it?

Speaker A:

765.

Speaker B:

765.

Speaker B:

Okay, now we're gonna do Rabbi Nachman Ben Simcha.

Speaker B:

His father's name was Simcha.

Speaker B:

2 12.

Speaker B:

Nachman is 148.

Speaker B:

Ben is 52, and Simcha is 353.

Speaker A:

What's the number?

Speaker B:

765.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

The same exact gematria.

Speaker B:

Ravnavin wasn't into gematria.

Speaker A:

He was.

Speaker B:

He was.

Speaker B:

You think that would be.

Speaker B:

So he so basically.

Speaker B:

Said, torah is never going to be forgotten, and it's going to come from his chibor, from the Tsar.

Speaker B:

He didn't know when he said it that there was a remus to what he was saying in the Torah.

Speaker B:

And the Rabbi Nachman says, I myself am going to be.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

I'm.

Speaker B:

Nowadays, I'm a continuation of Reb Shemin.

Speaker B:

For some reason, he.

Speaker B:

I guess he didn't know because he never writes this.

Speaker B:

He would have if he knew it.

Speaker B:

Maybe he did.

Speaker B:

He himself is the Gematria.

Speaker B:

He also was a hidden Rem is to himself, but being connected to every Shimon because the gamacho is the same exact match.

Speaker A:

And we're bringing out that matcha, and we're Right.

Speaker B:

And if hopefully someday somebody else will bring out our.

Speaker B:

That's awesome.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

So that's.

Speaker B:

There's.

Speaker B:

There's so much more.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker B:

Oh.

Speaker B:

Oh.

Speaker B:

What'd you just say?

Speaker B:

Ancient.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I think that's exactly why this introduction, I know we've done over time, but that's one of the most important.

Speaker B:

Where do we learn that from?

Speaker B:

Sherman says Torah is never going to be forgotten.

Speaker B:

From bizarre.

Speaker B:

He's about to be killed.

Speaker B:

The altar was forgotten.

Speaker B:

He was in a cave.

Speaker B:

Shimon is an epitome of that.

Speaker B:

And he put all of that into the Zora Koddish.

Speaker B:

And then from there, we learn out we have Torah.
