Matzranus 1 – Matzranus 2 – Purchase Rights of a Neighbor with Adjoining Property – Unity – Tefilah Is Nefesh – Zarka – Speech Is Malkhus – Praying for Physical Needs – Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon.
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 1b. Matzranus – purchase rights of a neighbor with adjoining property. Am Yisrael’s goal is to achieve unity.
05:00 – Being “scattered” is not good. “Scatter-brained” is the opposite of having yishuv hadaas.
09:10 – Hilkhos Matzranus does not apply when purchasing land that belongs to a non-Jew (Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat 175:40).
15:30 – ***Jewish souls are like trees in a field. The tzaddik is the Baal HaSadeh. Reference to Likutey Moharan 65.
17:30 – The highest level of tefilah is unifying all its elements.
18:50 – Tefilah and nefesh are one. NOTE about the beauty of the fields of Eretz Yisrael.
20:45 – It’s important to prepare tzedakah before tefilah. Diversifying property is potentially harmful, but tzedakah “gathers in” the scattered parts of a soul and increases yishuv hadaas. צִיּ֖וֹן בְּמִשְׁפָּ֣ט תִּפָּדֶ֑ה וְשָׁבֶ֖יהָ בִּצְדָקָֽה – “Zion shall be redeemed through justice and her penitent through righteousness” (Yeshaya 1:27). Reference to Likutey Moharan 69.
24:30 – Q&R about why Hilkhos Matzranus does not apply when purchasing land that belongs to a non-Jew.
28:00 – Matzranus 2. Hilkhos Matzranus 2 is based on Likutey Moharan 4. Speech is Malkhus.
31:20 – Meaning of the cantillation mark called Zarka. עין refers to Ain Sof for the infinite light of HaShem.
33:45 – ***Malkhus is ratzon – will. רצונו של אדם זהו כבודו ואפילו לכבוד אב ואם – “doing the will of a person is to honor him and even applies to honoring one’s father and mother” (Yerushalmi, Peah 1:1; Sefer Chassidim 152).
36:30 – BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE – Account heard from Rabbi Yechiel Michel Dorfman zal. The soul of a rabbi who had passed away visited a student who was still in this world. The rabbi told his student that, from the point of view of Gan Eden, everything seems good in the physical world. The only way souls in the next world can perceive that anything’s “wrong” is if a person experiencing difficulty cries out in tefilah to HaShem.
41:00 – וַֽעֲנָוִ֥ים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָ֑רֶץ – “The humble inherit the Land…” (Tehillim 37:11).
