Worst Trade Ever

We are a sports dominated culture like no culture before us. I include myself. A day isn’t complete for me in the Spring, Summer or Fall without an update on how the Phillies did. Ditto for the Fall and Winter in relation to the Philadelphia Eagles. Both those major sports sometime have so-called “Blockbuster Trades.” So maybe this metaphor makes sense to many.

1 Corinthians 3:5-9 [ESV] What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the LORD assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but GOD gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only GOD WHO gives the growth. 8 He who plants & he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. [Matthew 20:8/John 15]

RE: Personal Tanya Day 21: Purposeful Living (CH 10.2) | Dovid Vigler January 12, 2025 | Sabbath, 12 Tevet 5785 | Tzaddik/Righteous

as it is written: “Ho, exclaims the prophet, all who are thirsty for godliness should go to the waters of Torah,” [Isaiah 55:1] i.e., let them engage in Torah, which is likened to water, as is explained elsewhere, that the “thirsty ones” of this verse refer to those who thirst for godliness.

"Like a well-watered tree" is a metaphor that appears in the Bible in Psalm 1:3, Isaiah 58, and Jeremiah 17:7-8

Psalm 1:3 [Berean] But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. 4Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind. Colossians 1:10 so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the LORD [YHWH] & may please HIM in every way: Bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of GOD, He is like a tree planted by streams of water This imagery of a tree planted by streams of water suggests stability, nourishment, and vitality. In biblical times, water was a precious resource, especially in the arid regions of the Middle East. A tree planted by water signifies a life that is constantly nourished and sustained. This can be seen as a metaphor for a person who is rooted in GOD's Word, drawing spiritual sustenance from it. The idea of being "planted" indicates intentionality & purpose, suggesting the righteous person is deliberately positioned to receive divine nourishment. This imagery is echoed in Jeremiah 17:7-8, where the person who trusts in the LORD is compared to a tree by the water, emphasizing trust & reliance on GOD. yielding its fruit in season The phrase "yielding its fruit in season" highlights the natural and timely productivity of a life aligned with GOD's will. Just as a tree bears fruit at the appropriate time, so does a righteous person produce good works & spiritual fruit at the right moments. This concept is reinforced in Galatians 5:22-23, where the "fruit of the Spirit" is described, indicating the qualities that should be evident in a believer's life. The idea of "in season" suggests there is a divine timing for everything, as seen in Ecclesiastes 3:1, where there is a time for every purpose under Heaven. Isaiah 58:10-12 [Berean] and if you give yourself to the hungry & satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will go forth in the darkness, and your night will be like noonday. 11 The LORD will always guide you; HE will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. 12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will restore the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the Streets of Dwelling. Jeremiah 17:7-8 [Berean] But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in HIM. 8 He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.

Masculine Waters: Mahd

These [“masculine waters”] are the “waters” of kindness that flow into & are contained in each of the 248 positive mitzvot, which are all in the nature of “kindness,” or benevolence, and “masculine waters.”

This term “masculine waters” as applied to mitzvot means the mitzvot draw GOD’s holiness from above, i.e., from the higher realms downward, so [GOD’s holiness] be clothed in & revealed within the lowest realms, i.e., our physical world, as explained elsewhere.) Thus, the two interpretations of the term “men of ascent” are complementary.

Compensation for Losses: Positive Bias | Disassociated from Pain & Troubles

Happy-Go-Lucky Joseph, "Is s/t bothering you?" The lower you fall, the higher you rise, same with Jacob in Egypt learning Torah under inhospitable circumstances & being challenged by students. . . the obstacle of questioning brings greater insight

Finding the Light in the Darkness | Dovid Vigler

[22:51] Joseph is always detached from his experiences

Matthew 20:8 "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers & pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first'"

The workday in JESUS' parable is complete. The MASTER of a Household has hired five different groups of ppl to work in HIS vineyard throughout the day. The first group was hired early in the morning. The last group was hired around 5 p.m. Now the time has come for the MASTER to pay all the ppl who participated in the work.

HE instructs HIS Foreman, person in direct charge of the workers, to line them up for their pay from the last hired to the first hired.

JESUS is telling this story, in part, to answer Peter's question about what he & the other Disciples will receive in the Kingdom of Heaven since they have left everything to follow JESUS. JESUS has assured them they will receive a rich reward, in addition to inheriting eternal life [Matthew 19:27–30]. HE then said, though, that many who are first will be last and the last first. This parable explains what that means.

Chapter Context

Matthew 20:1–16 is a parable illustrating what JESUS meant in saying some of the last will be first & the first last in the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 19:30). When a MASTER hires five groups of workers at different times throughout the day, HE pays the last group the same amount HE pays the group hired early in the morning. Though that group grumbles, they received what they had agreed to earn & had not been cheated.

The MASTER insists HE has the right to show generosity to whomever he wishes. JESUS concludes by saying, again, that the last will be first, and the first last. Themes found in this parable are echoed in the later portion of the parable of the prodigal son [Luke 15:25–32].

Chapter Summary

JESUS illustrates HIS earlier comments about how some of the "first will be last, and the last first" [Matthew 19:30] with a parable about hired workers. HE then tells HIS Disciples about HIS impending death and resurrection. The mother of James & John asks JESUS to make her sons number two and three in HIS Kingdom. JESUS tells the Disciples that true greatness won't come by flaunting authority as the Gentile leaders do. Instead, they will become great by serving each other, even as a slave does, as JESUS HIMSELF has done. HE then heals two blind men immediately before entering Jerusalem.

Chassidus, also known as Hasidism, is a mystical Jewish movement that emphasizes finding Godliness in everyday life. It is based on the teachings of Hasidic rebbes, or leaders, who often comment on the Torah and Kabbalah.

Origins: The Hasidic movement was started by Israel ben Eliezer, a charismatic figure who was active in Poland around 1700–1760. The Baal Shem Tov is another important figure in the Chassidic movement.

Teachings: Chassidic teachings often focus on GOD, the soul, and the meaning of Jewish commandments, and are based on Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah) and Orthodox Judaism. It often take the form of commentary on the Torah & Kabbalah.

GROUPS, Chabad Chassidism: A system of religious philosophy focuses on understanding the CREATOR through wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.

Repentance/Return

Teshuvah is the central theme of the time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, known collectively as the "Ten Days of Teshuvah." Typically, teshuvah is translated from the Hebrew as repentance, but it literally means return, as if turning back to something you've strayed or looked away from.

As I have learned from Tim Keller, the importance of sonship is the right to GOD's endowment provisions for an eternal inheritance; and there is an instance under Moses who had to allow a man's daughters to carry the inheritance since he had no sons to carry his namesake, which would effectively dissolve his clan.

Zelophehad's daughters argued that were they not to inherit, then Zelophehad's name would be lost to his clan. Moses took their case to GOD. GOD told Moses that the plea of Zelophehad's daughters was just, and they should be granted their father's hereditary holding. [Numbers 27:5-8,11]

What Is Chassidut? | Tzvi Freeman

Teachings from the core essence

Everyone agrees that around the middle of the eighteenth century, a movement began in Eastern Europe that had a far-reaching, even revolutionary, impact on Jewish practice and thought. What exactly that movement was (and is) all about, remains rather fuzzy. That’s not hard to understand, since the movement itself is by nature enigmatic.

Perhaps the most common description of the Chassidic movement frames it as a kind of social upheaval. Until this time, there was a pecking order in the Jewish world—scholars on top, the simple Jew at the bottom, and the illiterate boor only nominally Jewish. In the minds of many, a great soul and a great mind were practically synonymous. Then the Baal Shem Tov came and uplifted the status of the common man and woman, celebrating the heartfelt earnestness of simple Jews, declaring that this raised them higher than the cold, intellectual, and often self-infatuated scholar.

Certainly there is truth to this vignette—in fact, letters of the period demonstrate that the principal opposition to this movement was over just this issue: scholars felt their status was being diminished, and that the common people would no longer pay the respect due to the learned man of Torah.1

Yet it is far from sufficient, because the Baal Shem Tov and his students were themselves erudite scholars who greatly valued study of Torah, both its esoteric and legalistic aspects. Some of the greatest contributions of that era to Talmudic and halachic scholarship are from these men.

It is often said that Chassidut replaced fear and trembling with love and joy.

Another common description is that the Chassidic movement taught Jews to serve GOD with love and joy rather than fear and trembling, to sing and dance rather than cry and fast. What concerns GOD the most, the Baal Shem Tov would preach is:

You serve HIM with your heart.

Love GOD, even if you don’t always understand HIS ways;

Love HIS Torah, even if you can barely read the words; and

Most of all, love one another, even if that “other” doesn’t measure up to the expectations of GOD and HIS Torah.

And celebrate all of the above.

Yet, taken alone, this is also misleading.

For the chassidim were also known for their meticulousness in the details of Jewish ritual and practice, for extending themselves much further than the strict requirements of halachah, in consonance with the Talmudic dictum, “Who is a chassid? One who goes beyond the letter of the law.” Still another narrative describes the Chassidic movement as an outcome of the esoteric teachings of Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, “the Arizal,” the great sixteenth-century Kabbalist of Tzfat, whose ideas captured the imagination of much of the scholarly Jewish world. The Arizal’s teachings provided a comprehensive theology of Jewish practice that felt far more native to the Jewish soul than the apologetics of the philosophers. The Baal Shem Tov and his students were all deeply immersed in these teachings.

Yet still insufficient.

The teachings of the chassidic masters are not exclusively esoteric and kabbalistic. Kabbalah speaks in abstractions comprehensible only to the most elevated soul. Chassidut can do that as well, but it also speaks in down-to-earth, pragmatic terms for the everyman in his everyday world.

Obviously, the Chassidic movement as it embodies the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov is not a conglomeration of ideas, but one simple concept that shows itself in many facets. That idea is so deep, so essential, that we find ourselves incapable of iterating it directly with words. But perhaps, as the junction of two lines define a point, with some metaphor & explanation we can locate the essence-point of Chassidut.

Life at the core

Let’s start with a metaphor of the human psyche, which also has many facets. A person thinks, feels, speaks, does—and often all these things appear disparate, as though they come from multiple personalities within him.

And they do, for a person is comprised of many conflicting forces battling within.

Yet, hiding behind all that a person does throughout his life, there is a common theme, a thrust in a certain direction, an essence struggling to emerge. If he would find that essence & recognize it, all his life could be brought into harmony.

He would be recharged, filled with life.

Every aspect of his life, his deeds, his words, his thoughts and his emotions would glow brightly, having been wired in to their core, an endless reservoir of energy, and harmonized with every other aspect of his psyche.

So too, the Jewish People—a people as diverse as one could imagine any people to be in temperaments, sentiments, and above all, opinions. And yet, we comprise together a single people, as a single body, with a single essence breathing within.

Torah, as well, has many layers & facets.

There are the stories of the scriptures;

the laws and rituals prescribed by them;

the homiletical interpretations of the sages;

the deeper, esoteric meanings known only to the initiated

—yet all this is one Torah, single and united.

There is a tradition that lends significance to the Baal Shem Tov’s name. You see, the Baal Shem Tov wasn’t born with that name—it simply means “Master of a Good Name,” and was a common title for miracle-workers in those days.

He was Israel, son of Eliezer and Sarah. We, too, are Israel, each one of us, at our very core. When a person falls into a coma, tradition tells us, you may whisper his name into his ear to wake him. Why? Because the name of a person touches his essence, and the essence is always awake. At the time when Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov arrived on the scene, it was time for the Jewish People to be revived. Israel Baal Shem Tov’s teaching was GOD’s way of whispering the name of the Jewish people into their ear.

To put it another way:

When we were given a gift of the Torah at Mount Sinai, we were handed a big backpack to take on our hike through history. Over the centuries, we did just that, discovering within this Torah all the guidance and resources we needed for our many sojournings.

But then there came a time when the journey had become too wearisome, when the Torah appeared to be weighing us down rather than carrying us through.

It was a time when we stood at a threshold.

The violent pillaging of the Cossack revolt had disrupted the infrastructure of the major Jewish settlements.

Jews of Western Europe had begun to assimilate, &

The winds of secularization were blowing eastward.

It was only a matter of time before Jewish practice and belief would come face to face with its most inexorable challenge, the skeptical, free-thinking, socially mobile world of modernity.There came a time when we had to reach to the essence-core.

At this point, we needed not just another strategy, not just another secret of the Torah revealed to us. We needed a charge of light from its very core.

Our souls had to make contact & bond with the very soul of this Torah that we carried.

Bonding

This explains what I would say is the signature motif of chassidic teachings. If it is an authentic teaching, and it has been presented in a lucid form, then it resonates as no other teaching does. You absorb it not as “received tradition,” but as one who hears the song singing within his own soul.

Through Chassidut, no longer are the Torah and the Jew two separate beings, one instructing and one being instructed, one commanding and the other commanded.

Chassidut is life; as the body and soul fuse to become a single living being, so the Jew bonds with these teachings as though they were his own soul—and is carried by them through the most stalwart challenges, as an indefatigable [persisting tirelessly] soul carries the body through fire and ice.

Here, too, a significant detail of the Baal Shem Tov’s life comes into play: He was born on the eighteenth day of the final month of the year, the month of Elul.

Elul is the month when the Jewish soul begins to shine, in preparation for the “Days of Awe” at the beginning of the coming year. Eighteen, in Jewish numerology, stands for life.

Light from the future

There is yet one more reason why the teachings of Chassidut had to be revealed at that time.

The history of our world, the Talmud tells us, has six millennia, corresponding to the six days of the Creation. The seventh day transcends time, and must be preceded by the days of Moshiach:

when “the world will be filled with the knowledge of GOD as water covers the ocean floor.”

The Baal Shem Tov moved to Medzhibuzh, where he began spreading his teachings, in the year 1740. On the Jewish calendar, that is the year 5500. Lining up the millennia with the days of Creation, that would be high noon on the eve of Shabbat. At that time, the light of the Moshiach already began to shine.

In the last quarter of the sixth millennium, the light of the MOSHIACH began to shine.

Today, the teachings of Chassidut have embedded themselves inextricably within most of religious Jewish thought. Not a single major religious thinker since that time has not been deeply influenced by them. At Chabad.org, we attempt to present these teachings both in the form in which they were taught by their original masters, as well as in the language of the contemporary mind. The bonding, the living, the application into real life

—that we leave up to you.

“On Rosh Hashanah of the year 5507 (1747),” wrote the Baal Shem Tov in a letter to his brother-in-law, “I ascended higher and higher . . . until I entered the chamber of the MOSHIACH. I asked of HIM, ‘When, MASTER, will YOU come?’

“HE replied, ‘In the time when your teaching will become public and revealed in the world, and your wellsprings will burst forth to the farthest extremes.’”

JESUS is the MOSHIACH
