The Seven Beggars ............................................ 245 Salutation Excite to see the power of your master, who illuminates for us the Torah from the Heavens, to give us life this very day and for all eternity, and in our bondage, our G-d has not abandoned us, and He has pitched upon us kindness in every generation, and he sent us saviors, righteous rabbis foundations of the world, to show us the way, the early ones already traversed, and His mercy has not been withheld at every time and at every hour, and he has been charitable with us to draw water from the fountains of salvation, primeval words, concepts that are of the hidden core of the world, under wondrous and awesome clothing. Look and understand and see his awesome and wondrous way, an inheritance to us from our holy fathers who were previously in Israel, for this is the way of the supreme holy ones, harvesters of the Divine Field, who lifted their hands and hearts to G-d, to dress and conceal the treasures of the King in the recounting of stories, according to the generation and according to the time, knowledgeable and understanding of the times, to know what Israel is to do, until He rises and saves Zion and returns to build the destructed Temple, as this very time it will be said to Jacob and to Israel what G-d has done. On the Jewish New Years of the year 5567 (which fell out on Saturday and Sunday. 1807) Rabbi Nachman gave over a teaching in which he revealed the concept, source, root, and power of stories from ancient times (this awesome teaching is 4 recorded in Likutay Moharan – A Collection of the Teachings of Our Master Rabbi Nachman, Teaching 60. In the summer preceding, Rabbi Nachman had begun to reveal the stories, and had told over the first story of the Loss of a Princess). After giving over this teaching, Rabbi Nachman made a clever quip (The Life of Our Master Rabbi Nachman, 25): Today I said three things contrary to what the world say: The world says that telling over stories is propitious to induce sleep. And I said that telling over stories is propitious to arouse people from sleep. The world says that from talking about things nothing can be born. And I said that the tzadik’s talking about things arouses people from their sleep, which causes barren women to conceive. - Rabbi Nachman expressed his desire that the stories should be published also in the spoken Yiddish, and he said, that it is possible for it to be very easy for a barren woman to read from them any story and through this she would have a good conception and merit to have children. The world says that the true tzadik of towering stature doesn’t need a lot of money, because why does he need money? And I said that a true tzadik needs all the fortune of the world. 5 Introduction Mah shehayah kvar nikra shemo venod`a shehu adam/[His greatness] in the past, his fame has long since been declared, and it is known that he was a [great] man”. Vezot torat ha’adam/and this is the Torah of a great manof holiness, who merited to complete the image of man, “...ki zeh kol ha’adam/for [he] is the entirety of man”. Is it not his honor, our lord, our master, and our rabbi, crown of our glory, pride of our strength, the holy and the awesome Rav, the major luminary, the upper light, the honorable and holy light, of holy renown, our master the great NACHMAN, mention of the righteous and holy bring blessing, grandson and nephew of the holy and awesome Rav the Godly Baal-Shem-Tov, mention of the righteous and holy bring blessing, whose light Yisrael have already enjoyed in his holy and wonderful compositions which have already come to light. Many are they who have seen and rejoiced, and the upright who have been gladdened; let the truth shoot forth his way. And behold, see what else is in our sack -- wonderful and awesome story tales, which we have been privileged to hear directly from his holy mouth, who balanced, probed and establish many similes, clothing and concealing lofty and awesome perceptions in story tales in very wonderful and awesome ways. Because so was [the custom] long ago in Yisrael, regarding redemption and regarding exchanging, that when they wanted to speak of the hidden things of God, they would talk in the manner of riddles and similes, and they 6 clothed the hidden things of the Torah, the treasuries of the King, in many, many different clothes and garments, as it is conveyed after the tale of the King’s Son and the Maid’s Son [#11 in this book], where Rabeinu z”l said then, that in the early days, when the friends would talk and speak Kabbalah, they would speak in such language, because until Rashbi they would not speak Kabbalah openly etc. And for the most part after several stories he would reveal a little bit, a drop in the sea of some clues where the things reach to, as the things and the clues which he told after each and every story are explained below in their places. And behold, until now the these things were hidden with us, but only because many said to our souls, “Mi yirenu tov/Who can show us anything good?”, because they are many who are with us, fellow believers as us, whose souls have hoped and been consumed to always hear the words of the Living God which came out of the mouth from Rabeinu Hakadosh z”l, and particularly these stories he hold, which they had not yet merited that they reach them, except in handwritten copies via various copiers, through which the errors multiplied greatly and the meaning was spoiled, and therefore their great desire compelled us and their strong hope pressed us, until we were forced to fulfill their wishes and bring them to the printhouse. And also because there was a realization from the mouth of our great Rabbi z”l, that once he revealed his mind that he wanted to print story tales, and he said in these words before several people: “Beda`ati lehadpis sefer ma`asiyot, veyihyeh lema`alah katuv bilshon hakodesh ulematah bilshlon la`az/I have in mind to print a book of story tales, and it should be written above in the holy tongue and 7 below in common tongue.” And he said, “halo mah yuchlu ha`olam ledaber `al zeh, halo `al kol panim hem ma`asiyot na’im lesaper/Really, what can the world say against this, for anyways are they not nice stories to tell?!” etc. Such words were heard from his holy mouth explicitly, and this is what aroused us to bring them to the printhouse. And if we would have indeed known, and had it not been hidden from our eyes, that many arose against him, nevertheless the truth is witness for itself, and we are obligated to do his will, and Hashem will do what is good; the one who hears will hear and who refrains will refrain. And also because, praise God, until now His mercies have have helped us, for his holy compendiums have spread out within the Holy People, in the community and congregation and Yisrael, and his words have been joy and happiness to them, and have been sweet as honey in their mouths. All will be satiated and delight from his goodness; their souls be satisfied as with grease and fat, and with shouting lips their mouths shall praise. And they are more who are with us, than those who argue against the truth, who speak arrogantly against the Tzadik in pride and disdain which they fabricated from their hearts things that were not on his mind, and we need not prolong and talk about this, because it is a thing of Hashem’s concern. And several worlds have been turned over because of that person because of the great controversy, which has increased in our days between the chakhamim and the tzadikim, and who can criticize the King for what has already been done? But let this be known, that our whole intention in printing these story tales is only for anshei shlomeinu/our own people, 8 who take refuge in his holy shade, who crave and hope and yearn to hear his holy words. And if actually the words are printed in a book, it is as if they were said before a great assembly. On the other hand, we have already seen that the words have already begun to spread in writing via many copies, and there is no difference between writing and print, and also from the start they did not speak secretly, because whoever has eyes will see, and whoever has a heart will understand, “ki lo davar reik hu, mikem/because it is not an empty word/thing, [unless it seems empty] due to you,” [Deut 32:47] because these words stand at the heights of the very heights.

  • The Erotics of Kabbalah Or How to Read Naughty Texts! Remember Those
    The erotics of kabbalah or how to read naughty texts! Remember those chapters the bible school teacher missed out? Or the Rebbe in cheder, suddenly skipping “inappropriate” bits of the Talmud? Well here we are again in the Zohar And my earliest recollections were my father’s admonition NOT to read it! That Zohar…“full of erotica!” he claimed, that man from Vienna, the very city of sin! The city of Freud and the invention of innuendo! That man, my father! How do we read the notion of yichudim? Those couplings or copulations,1 Shall we sanitize it like Chabad (“a unification of supernal elements in (and by) one's mystical devotions in prayer”)? For yichudim literally means unification as in coupling as engaged in marital bonding between the male and female… So by what audacious slight of pen does kabbalah project such unifications onto the divine? We are told (Rabbi Akiva none the less!) that the book of Song of Songs is a metaphor for the holiest aspects of the divine-human relationship. An erotic poem is the only text that seems to come close to express such a love. Yet is fully described and incarnated in the fleshiness of the description of lovemaking. Despite its fleshiness it is called the “Holy of Holies” and we are repeatedly instructed to not take this literally, for how can something so holy be taken literally. So we are trained to read allegorically. The anthropomorphic statements about God were the first to be allegorized away by our embarrassed medievalists and we are told to midrashically “misread” the texts that depict in real time the lovemaking or yichudim described with such graphic detail.

The Case Of Weeds Recibido: 31 de octubre de 2012 Aceptado: 29 de diciembre de 2012 Gemma Argüello Manresa 1 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México [email protected] Resumen Este trabajo tiene como objetivo encontrar las consecuencias que tiene el análisis narrativo de un corpus de material audiovisual televisivo en la discusión filosófica entre autonomismo y moralismo en estética. El debate entre estas dos posturas implica el cuestionamiento de si el defecto moral de una obra se convierte en un defecto estético. Se analizará la serie televisiva Weeds (Kohan, cr., 2005-2012), en la cual la protagonista desafía los valores morales convencionales por medio de la comedia. A través del exploración del contenido narrativo de la serie se mostrará si es posible establecer un juicio y goce estético independiente de las cuestiones morales presentes en su contenido. Palabras clave Estética, moralidad, goce estético, juicio, drogas. Abstract This work aims to find the implications narrative analysis of a corpus of audiovisual television series have in the philosophical discussion between autonomism and moralism in aesthetics. The debate between the two positions involves the question of whether the moral fault of a work becomes an aesthetic defect. It will analyze the TV series Weeds (Kohan, cr. 2005-2012), in which the protagonist defies conventional moral values through comedy. Through the exploration of the narrative content of the series it will be shown if it is possible to establish an independent aesthetic judgment and joy from the moral issues in their content.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

  • Lesson Four Mystical Experiences, Ascetic Practices
    LESSON FOUR MYSTICAL EXPERIENCES, ASCETIC PRACTICES TEXT ONE --- Shlomo Alkabetz, in Joseph Karo’s Maggid Mesharim, introduction Know that the saint and I, his and your humble servant, belonging to our company, agreed to stay up all night in order to banish sleep from our eyes on Shavuot. We succeeded, thank God, so that, as you will hear, we ceased not from study for even a moment. This is the order I arranged for that night. First, we read the Torah with a pleasant melody from the beginning until: And the heaven and the earth were finished. (Gen. 2:1-3) Then we read: In the third month (Ex. 19:1) to the end of the section. Then in the section Mishpatim from: And unto Moses he said (Ex. 24:1) to the end of the section. Then in the section Va’etchanan from: And Moses called unto all Israel (Deut. 5:1) to the end of the section: Hear, O Israel. (Deut. 6:9) Then in section V’zot ha-berakhah from: And Moses went up to in the sight of all Israel. (Deut. 34) Then we read the haftarah: Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year (Ezek. 1) and the haftarah: A Prayer of Habakkuk. (Hab. 3) Then the Psalm: The heavens declare (Ps. 19) and the Psalm: Let God arise. (Ps. 68) Then we read the alphabetic acrostic without the songs. Then we read the whole of the Song of Songs, the whole of Ruth and the final verses of Chronicles. All this we did in dread and awe, with quite unbelievable melody and tunefulness.
