Gavin MichalHOST
So we know that there's the idea of avat Yisrael, avat Yisrael, love of your fellow Jew, and also they have to l'rayacha kamocha, you shall love your rayacha, your good friend like you.
Gavin MichalHOST
It's interesting to see that the Ishbitzer interpreted avat Yisrael as in a very unusual way, not in a way that other people interpret Avat Yisrael.
Gavin MichalHOST
We understand Avat Yisrael as a horizontal relationship.
Gavin MichalHOST
It's between me and my neighbor and my friend.

Gavin MichalHOST
In most senses, no matter how people try to explain it away, between the individual and God.
Gavin MichalHOST
self-sufficiency or something that was spoken about in Shishka and in Kotzk.
Gavin MichalHOST
And Reb Mordechai, the Ishbitzer, came from the school and rejected the Kotsuka River and broke away from the Kotsuka River, which means that he developed an even more profound sense of this independence to the extent that he was able to discourage the notion even of friendship.
Gavin MichalHOST
And of course, these ideas naturally led to a feeling of exclusionism from the popular mainstream society.
Shaya KatzHOST
HaZinu is the Shira, the song that we had sort of briefly referred to, according to some Rishonim, briefly referred to in last week's Parsha, where... two weeks ago, in Vayelech, but that also means, the fact that it's a song means it's poetic, and there are many phrases that are a little more cryptic, a little more open to interpretation, which, of course, means that's Hasidic time.
Shaya KatzHOST
I mean, even the non-Hasidim are making drushes on these poetic phrases, all the more so for, excuse me, Rebbe Mordechai Yosef Leiner, I don't 100% understand every word here, but it sounds like a nice idea.
Shaya KatzHOST
I don't know how to translate that.
Shaya KatzHOST
Something on the grass.
Zvi LeshemGUEST
Rav Leibola Eger, Yehuda Arya Leib Eger, was the grandson of the Gadol Hador of many, of many Dorot, Akiva Eger, and the son of Rav Shlomo Eger, the Gilead Maharsha, who were both pretty staunch Litvaks.
Zvi LeshemGUEST
And he, as a young man, came in contact with the Mea Shiloach, Mordechai Yosef Leiner, and became a Hasid of his, as did Rav Tzadokah Cohen of Lublin, who also came from a great Litvish family, and we'll be learning him in the next section.
Zvi LeshemGUEST
Okay, so these are the two great Lithuanian Torah scholars who became Hasidim of the Me'esh Eloach.
Zvi LeshemGUEST
And when the Me'esh Eloach died in 1854, Rav Leibola Eger replaced him as a Rebbe in Lublin.
Shaya KatzHOST
And I think we quoted before the Mea Shiloach, that's why I got on that tangent, because I had seen that we talked about this already.
Shaya KatzHOST
The Mea Shiloach, and Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner explains that these two phrases are actually referring, or actually addressing, two different kinds of people.
Shaya KatzHOST
Some people are naturally drawn towards wanting kavod.
Shaya KatzHOST
They want honor they want you know the prominence that other people will give them and you know in their positions or in whatever they're seeking and um For that kind of person, those people who want to be up in the heavens.
Marc GafniGUEST
They were kind of the great masters of the ages and yet wildly and profoundly engaged in the affairs of the day.
Marc GafniGUEST
And so Radical Kabbalah is a reading of one master Mordechai Leiner of Hezbollah, who is fifth generation after the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidic movement.
Marc GafniGUEST
But it's an attempt to actually articulate the matrix of what could become a new story of value.
Marc GafniGUEST
And really where I first coined the term first a cosmic humanism and later non-dual humanism was in these works, right? And cosmo erotic humanism, of course, as you can begin to see, kind of emerges in part out of this very deep matrices of acosmic and non-dual humanism.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Now, the Magan Avram is what kind of a Sefer? What kind of a Peirush on what is the Magan Avram? Halacha.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Not, this is not Reb Nachman, this is not Ishbitzer, this is a Parish on the Shulchan Aruch, it's a Nosekalim of Halacha.
Shlomo KatzHOST
So listen to this, it's shocking that it's here.
Shlomo KatzHOST
Ita b'mogen Avram, Dvar Pele b'shem haMata Moshe, Mata Moshe b'shem haMa'aril, the Ma'aril, we're going back now, the Ma'aril was 14th century.
Leibish HundertHOST
And But we have a long path until we get to that point.
Leibish HundertHOST
And the Chudushi Arim, who was very close with the Ishbitzer in Poland, he was the first Ger Rebbe, he's saying there's rabinic tshuva, that rabbinically the rabbis say the tshuva works even when Hashem knows that you will go back to do it again or not to do whatever good thing.
Leibish HundertHOST
And it's really, really crucial what he's coaxing us into as we were speaking about two weeks ago, which is knowing who you are, knowing who you are.
Leibish HundertHOST
The first step of tshuva is just knowing who you are.
Shalom RosnerHOST
The lockdown meant that we could listen more to the poetry and passion of the prayers themselves, and prayer is about listening and not just speaking.
Shalom RosnerHOST
And that's where he quotes from the Ishbitzer, our pasuk.
Shalom RosnerHOST
So much of life, and we don't do enough of this, chaskes ushma Yisrael, to listen.
Shalom RosnerHOST
To listen.
Shaya KatzHOST
What's packed into that fruit for a Jew in Eretz Yisrael coming to the Beis HaMikdash is so much more.
Shaya KatzHOST
The whole development of the Jewish people going all the way back to Avraham Avinu, coming through to Yitzchak and Yaakov, to Yosef bringing them down to Mitzrayim, getting out of Mitzrayim, going ultimately through the Midbar and coming to Eretz Yisrael.
Shaya KatzHOST
All of that led the way to the Jewish people to get to Eretz Yisrael, to plant those first fruits, to own the, to own the land of Eretz Yisrael, which was promised to them from Avraham Avinu.
Shaya KatzHOST
You have to appreciate that entire arc of history, that entire journey the Jewish people went on to really appreciate that fruit.
Shaya KatzHOST
He's speaking harshly.
Shaya KatzHOST
And the Me'ah She'ar said, "What's so harsh about this?" So he says brilliantly, so beautifully and brilliantly.
Shaya KatzHOST
Says the Me'ah She'ar, from Mordechai Yosef Leiner, the first Rebbe of Ishbitz.
Shaya KatzHOST
So, uh, so he says that this farmer in his dungarees and his, you know, coarse hands, this, this rough, rugged guy has come to the Kohen.
