So regarding the Yom Tvosokus, obviously it's coming off of Versa-Shani and Kipper. So it's important to understand that the, like we said many times when we discussed different Yom Tvim, that the year moves up and not down. Now, it doesn't necessarily mean that Tchanika is a greater opportunity than Masha'an Kipper. It's just a different step in the Avalidate. But definitely when it comes to Yerach-Aisana and Tishre, as we move higher, as we move further in the Yom, obviously we peak to where we're heading in Kedushin, our relationship or Akadush-Bahra. So the way this foreign accommodation explain it is that there's two relationships that we have with their initial of this Avalidate. Which is a greater relationship. Avalidate her era. Which everyone you're going to say you're going to be right. Because there's a big discussion what's considered a higher level. You look at the Masha'an, look at the Kheves-Avavis, it sounds like Avalidate is more.
And on the other hand, in certain areas you find that Yerach-Aisana is more. What is considered a higher level of relationship with Akadush-Bahra? So the simple understanding is that Avalidate is a higher relationship. The reason why sometimes you see that Yerach-Ais higher is because Yerach always brings you to Avalidate. Meaning, think about it, think of it like you're coming. Every year is a new opportunity for a person to grow in his understanding of Akadush-Bahra every single year. So you come to Hashem Kippur, it's a new year, a new closeness to their banish law. So the first initial envision yourself walking into a king or a president. So the initial feeling is Yerach-Aisana. And then as you get more quote unquote comfortable, if you could use that term, that's when Aval comes in. So really, Yerach could be considered a lower, it's like the step that brings you to Aval.
But it really, it fluctuates back and forth. The various laconas laconas, different ways to approach it. But the way the Yom Taven was set up over Hashanian Kippur Sukhas is seemingly Yerach-Ava. So that's a simple understanding. And Rosh Hashanian Kippur would be obviously Yerach and Sukhas would be Aval, which basically means that after you work your way up on Hashanian Kippur, every year now you step to you quote unquote a little bit more comfortable quote unquote. And theirbanish laman, that's what Sukhas represents. And ultimately, Shmiñat Saras is bringing the concepts of Sukhas to your own house as opposed to going to Akadish-Burkhas house. Many after-ish and Kippur. Theirbanish laman vites you into his house. That's what the Sukhas, it's still the name Nusa. You know, the Ushpizin, Ushpizin means like guests or hosts really. Theirbanish laman mainly has seven meters that he operates the world with.
For those that have a Nusa Khasar they know the meters from Sir Yerach-Aymar. And for those that have a Nusa Khasch, they don't know from Sir Yerach-Aymar, but there's other places you can out from. But the seven Ushpizin, at least in the Nusa Khasar, Nusa Kh go according to the meters of theirbanish laman, which is Chesed, Dwar, Teferas, Netzach, Huyid, Yusaid and Malchos, starting with everyone who's Chesed, ending with Davin and Malch, who is Malchos. That's the way the medis of their Boneshlam are set up. Each one of those medis have a representative of the world that represents that meda, which in this instance, let's say the first medu be Chesed, is represented by Avramavino. Avramavino personified Chesed in the world. So when you're visiting theirbanish laman, you're getting accustomed to a different meda of theirbanish laman every single day. And the host, so to speak, of that meda, is the individual that we're discussing on
that day, which is why we mentioned Ushpizin. And we say, Diasvi imi vi ima khaklushbizi lii, which I'm sure, so Yaka knows what that means in English. Does he want to translate it for us? Or we'll just translate it ourselves. That it means that we are discussing the Ushpizin and all the Ushpizins sit together with that Ushpiza. So really what's the point of having let's say Avramavino the first day, first night, first day as Avramavino, but everyone sits together with him. And the answer is because you have Chesed and you have Jewish Abkhazat and Tivarash Abkhazat and Netzach Abkhazat, et cetera, et cetera. There's different aspects of Chesed itself. So you're meeting theirbanish laman with his medis. That's what these Ushpizin represent. But if we get a little bit of a glimpse of what's going on in the Suka of where sitting with Sila de Mim Nusa, mamish with theirbanish laman, and the Svaramakadashim say it's one of the only mitzis that a person is able to fulfill, because I'm sorry for you to say, that it's the mitzis that a person is able to fulfill with his whole guff. There's a few mitzis that a person is able to fulfill with his whole guff on them as
Yishevary Tsaram, one of them is Mikvah, perhaps, and one of them is the mitz of Suka, which basically means that the mitz of Suka impacts your whole guff. And you say it is because you simply move in with Akadashbhach, that's what Suka is. You move in with theirbanish laman, that's what Suka says. So what we're doing when we come into the Suka is we're living with Akadashbhach. Now the goal of that is, is after we have a little bit of a clarity in our relationship with theirbanish laman, because of our shaniyam kippur, now we're able to move in, now we understand, you know, if you want to go to visit the kings, if you first have to look, learn the mode of conduct when you go to the king, you can't just walk in without knowing what the king appreciates. So our shaniyam kippur is learning what the king appreciates, and hopefully you take it with you in the Suka and you live in with the king. And the ultimate goal of living with the king is, for a person to get that attitude that will take with us throughout the year. That's really what Suka is supposed to do. But anyway, it's a relationship of Ahava with Akadashbhach.
And the banish shaniyam brings us into his private chamber, Haviyani Hamel Khadar of the banish shaniyam brings us into his private chamber, and that's what Suka is represents. That's the Suka of Suka. It's a tremendous Suka on a person's zehe to live with Akadashbhach. It gives a person shlames, and a fish makes a person be, you know, it gives us, you know, shlames, Suka goes together with shlames. That's what Suka feels when he's in the Suka. But that's what Suka's represents. The concept that the Arizel says that we mention every year, that the more a person ingrained Suka in his mind on Suka's, the more he'll be zehe to Suka throughout the year, that concept means that the Suka throughout the year comes from the Suka of Suka. That's why our attitude towards Suka's impacts the whole year. I'm like, oh, it's going to make sure to remind us. It's not all or none, but it's important just as a side point that a person should try very, very hard to constantly be the Suka on Suka's, even if not if something happens
that he's not happy about, even when something happens that he's not happy about because it's almost inevitable that your kid is going to spilt chicken soup on something that you really told him ten times, not to put the soup at the table. He does it anyway, or he throws something at his brother, and then he knocks down the cheer, and then the dassum comes right, whatever we could try to envision how it looks in your house. But the goal is for a person to still maintain his Suka. What's the point? The point is that a person understands that there's a greater goal here, like Lamascha of your marrying off your daughter, so it's not going to bother you if something happens during the Rasna, something that's annoying, hopefully one bother you, is because you're Barak Hashem in the midst of a Tremendezumcha, and therefore there's more important things on your mind than with the silly thing that happened. That's really the goal of a Samakh, the Bahayiyah, the Isach, the Mech, that there should be something more important on your mind, the fact that you're living your in Akhulish Barakhus' house, so how can you allow something so silly to ruin the Suka, unless you're obviously
not aware that you're living in the Berenish of the House. That's the goal of a Samakh, the Bahayiyah, and how it's not a small Mitzvah, because really every Yantv has a Mitzvah of Suka, it's not only on Suka's, but Suka's is called Samakh Sainu, because the essence of Suka's is the Suka that goes along with it, that's what defines the Yantv, and the way around understanding it is because by their Berenish shlom it's always the Khed-wabim Khay-mai, by their Berenish shlom it's always Bism-khud, there's never sadness by Akhulish Barakhus, unless you're learning Beseh-khas-khagy-ge, and you have a Makhlaib, you're such a Shainin when they're sadness by their Berenish shlom, so you're giving out a token of hell. But generally there's always Bism-khud, there's always Berenish shlom, so if you're living in Akhulish Barakhus' house, how could you be sad? You have to be Bism-khud, so no matter what's going on there's always Bism-khud, that's why that's the intensity of the Sema-khud, by Suka, this is more than a typical Yantv, does that mean there's a bigger Khiy-wab, you have to be more happy on Suka, there's another Yantv, doesn't say that necessarily, but that's the definition of the Yantv, as opposed
to Bepaisach, the Yantv is Ma'an-khir-sainu, and there's a dint of Bism-khud, on Zma'an-khir-sainu. So if you understand that the Sema-khud is what defines your appreciation of being the Bepaisach-sainu of being in the place of Akhulish Barakhus, then obviously you'll do your best to try to maintain Sema-khud, and therefore it will give you Sema-khud, the entire year, how will I give you Sema-khud, the entire year, because the Sema-khud, the entire year is the realization that you're living with Akhulish Barakhus' house, that understands that he's living with their Bism-khud, as always, because there's nothing to be upset about. So when a person ingrames himself on Suka, that he's living with Akhulish Barakhus' house, that makes him feel throughout the entire year, that he's living with Akhulish Barakhus' house, so basically the foundation that Suka's builds for the year is the understanding of Lamanyehududari Seikhankivasuka, Seishabdi Espinayis, so just like in the mid-bar, we lived with Akhulish Barakhus in every way, shape or form, we lived under, whether it's Ananya or Covered or whether it's Suka's Mavish, but we lived with the Rebani Shalom on Suka's
we do the same thing. That's the simple understanding of the Sema-khud of Suka's. Now there's another aspect, is that clear that we have any questions on what we discussed as regarding the Suka, the Mids of Suka. So now really there's another Mids of An Suka's, which is the Mids of Dalminim, and really that Mids of Suka should be seemingly independent, seemingly it's independent, and even Lahalakhah posh this is independent of the regular Mids of Suka's. We'll just mention that Abisalyaakah has now we have a very simple understanding of why the Mids of Suka says now as opposed to Pesach, we should have asked why is the Mids of Suka not when he came out of its rhyme. So they say because now it's a cooler time, and that's the demonstration that we're going into the Suka for their Bani Shalom. And really, but now we're saying a different reason which is much more understandable,
but the answer is that how did two reasons work in sync meaning we're trying to work them together, and to put the two reasons together on one hand, we're remembering Le Mans Yadu de Derserchenke of Suka Sushafteh as Bani Sarl, which really at least started taking place during the Nisan seasons, so to speak. So that's the Risham's Qashaw. Why don't we do it in the Sun, and they're saying a simple answer because it's colder now. The Mandevina has a different answer, but that's what they say. So now we're just giving a little bit of a deeper understanding that it's because it makes sense now, because now we're ready to move into a Nani al-Kovid, so to speak, atmosphere as opposed to a whole year when we're not necessarily ready to live with a Koshbah. Now moving on to the Dalad Minim, Dalad Minim really is another aspect of the same thing. Again, we're trying to get ourselves accustomed to living with their vineshlam, Dalad Minim. The simple understanding is, I mean, the way Qazal explained it, is it represents the
main avarium of the human being. The avar-a-hamaysa, the avarium that really govern the way a person acts. The brain is not one of them, because the brain generally doesn't necessarily govern the way, I mean, even though the scientists explain that everything is controlled by the brain, but the person would use his brain and everything that he did, he would act differently. So generally, the actions that we feel responsible for, that we detuva on, are actions that we view come from the heart and the spines, so to speak, which is the nerves and the emotions of the person as opposed to the raw intelligence of the person. And therefore, the brain doesn't have a representation, because with the brain, we always live with a Koshbah. The goal is that even if we're living with the heart and the ear and the eyes and lips, which are things that maybe sometimes we struggle to be in control of, we should also keep them together with a Koshbah. Now it's past us, these two midstvists are independent of each other.
Now, a result does put them together, Qidua, that that result had a minute to shake a little bit in the soko. If you look at the soko, seemingly they're separate, but apparently that result put some together. And the way we're a simple understanding of it is like we're just explaining it. Because it's living with Akadish Barakhu, so it's not just living Akadish Barakhu in his house, but it's also trying to clean house by you, so to speak, to make sure that your actions and your emotions and your speech and what you look at, etc., which really govern how you act and what you do are also in your hands, so to speak, you're holding them, you're holding them together with their burnish. So that's the goal of the midstv of Dalaminim. So it's interesting because the terrorist stresses Usmachta, that means it's a special dyn to be the Symkhah with the Dalaminim. Symachta Mufna Hashal, Hashamu Akechem, Shabasyaamim, the special midstv of the Bivisimkhah with the Dalaminim. And the understanding is because what a person feels that he's standing in front of Akadish
Barakhu, which is a drive Symkhah, the main goal, the main objective of what a person drives a person to serve their burnish is Symkhah. When a person is besyemkhah, he's driven to do what their burnish amansam to do. When a person is not besyemkhah, it's very, very difficult for him to serve Akadish Barakhu. Symkhah is probably the main factor that gets a person to serve Akadish Barakhu properly. So when a person feels like he's living with their burnish law, that is Usmachta Mufna Hashamu, because what the midstv of Suka is starts before the midstv of the Dalaminim. So really the midstv of Suka is the preparation for the midstv of Lulav. But do you know any difference between the midstv of Suka and Lulav, by the way? So the oilam got it right away. That Suka, the difference between Suka and Lulav, one, I mean, obviously as many said differences. But one of the differences is the fact that Suka is one really one continuous midstv. It means if you never leave the Suka, you'll never make a new midstv of Nubrachah.
As opposed to Lulav, the night breaks up the midstv of it. So the simple understanding is that the Lulav, the Suka is like the preparation for the attitude of Lulav, Lulav is on the Guff of the person. The Suka is on the outs, you know, where you are, where you place yourself. So when a person is in the Suka, that's which is the first thing that he's living with their burnish law, which is the person who's living with their burnish law. A holy anda of Suka's. And in the end, that sets the tone for the person to be able to, so to speak, have it impact on his own Guff to act and to think and to his emotions and his, you know, his actions should mirror that he's living with a cottage borough. The fact that Lulav has every single day a new hischous is probably because that's the nature of human beings. That when it comes to activities, you have to always create a hischous. And therefore every day there's a new, I mean, Medirabadan outside there, it's a Seral, but an arits a Seral. It's the Arisa. And all these better-based amictus, it's the Arisa. And the other person to have a new hischous every single day, Nubrachah, Nugriyev, Lulav,
every single day, it's, like, yeah, even for regarding Mokza, when the, when the Surg is Mokza, because it's, every single day is considered like a Numitsa or a new opportunity to do Numitsa because the night separates it, it's in hischous. But basically the attitude of the other Suka's is I'm living with their burnish law. I have a host, the Oshpizin is my host, he's my the Mide, so to speak, that I'm connecting to Hacotish Borchowith, and that's what brings Suka to a person's life, and that's Suka supposed to last a whole year. Bringing that down to Shmini Hatsa Suka Staira, that's why there's an emphasis of Iqbuli Imecha, Kush, al-Aipredascha. That's why this Yomtev has a Shmini Hatsa Arisa as opposed to another Yomtev, let's say, Pesach doesn't have that because Suka's has the unique concept of being living with her burnish law. And now we're leaving. You know, we leave, you need something to hold us together. Kush al-Aipredascha, it's very difficult for us to leave. The simple understanding is because Suka's is the last Yomtev of the three Yomtev, like
everybody here knows, Suka's is the last of the three Yomtev. So my la Kush al-Aipredascha, I'm going on all three Yomtev, that's a simple understanding. But really we could say that's going specifically on Suka's, because on Suka's we're with Hacotish Borchowith, we're spending time with him, and therefore it's Kush al-Aipredascha. But on that final day, what we do is, is we bring the concepts that we had of living with her burnish law, we bring it back home. And it's a dent to come back into your house, and really Suka's tira is mixed with that, because that's what keeps us connected to her burnish law throughout the years, our connection to tira specifically our Semcha, with tira, like we said before, Semcha impacts our actions more than almost any other media. And therefore, the way Suka's ends off is on that high of Shiminyat Sira, Semcha's tira, because it puts into our minds what's going to keep these ideas of living with their burnish law with us throughout the year, the Semcha, et cetera, is mainly our connection to the Kush al-Aipredascha through tira.
And tira is something that has no space and no limits. And tira is something that we can constantly carry with us wherever we are. And therefore, when we celebrate the gmahar of tira, which is really an opportunity to celebrate with tira, we take with us the concepts of the Semcha of Suka's and the shlamous of her shaniyim kippur. So basically, the avayda fases to try to keep the Semcha throughout the year of Suka's to realize that we're living with Akadjibar Khut to understand that there's a bigger goal than just the little thing that went wrong, even if the Khala Mojtchuk didn't work out perfectly the way he wanted it to. A person understands that. That's what gives a person real Semcha throughout the year. That's what gives a person the Haysa Arsameach, the al-Bazasham, give us a connection to Akadjibar Khut throughout the entire year.
