Inner point of Bina on Yom Tov 0:03

כן בינה בבחינת פנימיות, and the same thing that on יום טוב, which is the פנימיות of בינה, הוא עומק נקודת המושג וכולי, that's the the עומק נקודת המושג of בינה. In other words, that on יום טוב you're focusing on the עומק המושג as opposed to like the proofs or the examples or the the applications.

Your focus is just on like the inner point of the idea. That's like the idea of the שביתת בינה. בינה enjoys the the inner point, and so same way on יום טוב, we focus on like the inner point of the the מצוות and בירור of the world and everything like that.

Yeah, we're just yeah, we're looking at the what's the real point of it. What's like that. So that's like the goal. What's the What's the goal of the game, you know, the object of the game?

Well, it's no, because the way the way it's מולבש in בינה. So in other words, you the object of the game is to win by getting the most points, while as in חכמה, it's it's not even really It's It's just to have fun. Before And you don't really care. You can have fun even if you don't win.

But when you come to בינה, you now associate that it's fun to win, and something like that. So you already had So it already comes into a certain thing, form of, you know, what is fun.

חכמה can have fun doing anything. So even though like on יום טוב you don't do a lot of work, because like it's not practice time, you know, practice is when you do all the work, right?

But but you still would have to do some work because you have to you have to, you know, win the game. You have to do things in a certain way still. כי ידוע שיש עי עין חכמה בבינה ובינה בחכמה, that there is the עין of חכמה goes into בינה, and the inner thing of בינה is in חכמה. In other words, that when you go to the inner point of חכמה and בינה, they connect, and the חכמה goes to the בינה, and the בינה goes to the חכמה.

Mutual eye of Chochma and Bina 1:38

Well no, in other words, that that that there is there is whenever you're like analyzing something, or understanding something, it's always you're you're analyzing, understanding the thing itself, which is the חכמה is on, you know.

So you're there's always a חכמה in there. Yeah, even when you see the right Even when you get the חכמה, there always is a thing that you notice פרטים and a certain amount of interpretation that goes in, because you're always you have to perceive differences to see how it's different than other things. There's always a certain amount of בינה that goes into it. You can't really have one without the other.

So, right, so it always goes both ways. והיינו הבן בחכמה וחכם בבינה. That's what it means הבן בחכמה וחכם בבינה, that in the חכמה itself, you'll be able to find the the ability to make the distinctions and then explain it, and from the explanations, you'll be able to get the inner point, which is the חכמה. שזהו בחינת ייחוד פנימיות דאו״א. That's the inner ייחוד of או״א, חכמה and בינה, when they're coming together for the inner idea, to get like the inner point of it.

Meaning of "בן בחכמה חכם בבינה" 2:47

Yeah, when חכמה and בינה work together just to understand the inner truth of an idea, that is the like the that's like from the מזלות. Yeah, so the when when they're when they're when the comes from מזלות, then it makes a ייחוד פנימי of או״א.

And by the way, the משל for this whole thing like it says is is like the פשוט thing is that it's like a father and a mother, right? So like when somebody's married, there's three general levels of they relate to each other.

There's like where they're just spending time together, just like, you know, cuz they enjoy spending time together, and it's not really for anything, any other purpose, but it's like an end in itself. The relationship itself is like you know, an end in itself.

That's like the ייחוד פנימי of או״א, which means both like mental ייחוד, you know, the mental connection, but also like the enjoyment they have in each other and everything like that.

That that the the the man has to, you know, make to do things that will to come down to the בינה, you know, and recognize the בינה, and the woman has to recognize the חכמה.

So like you have to try to express your love in little, tangible, symbolic things, like flowers and, you know, little notes? Yeah, that's what we're talking about here. That's already an expression.

Doing it for yourself 4:51

That's So so no, but the In other words, that that you're you're just it's for yourself. You're just doing it for yourself. You're not it's not like you know there's like it's not like you're raising kids, and so you have to work together, you know, that's like a practical relationship.

Or like, you know, it's not like you're doing your taxes together, you know what I mean, or taking out the garbage or washing the dishes. Those are practical things that you have to do.

I mean, you could do those in a way of of פנימיות also. If you appreciate that it's an opportunity to build a relationship and spend time together, you know, and when you're stuck on in traffic somewhere, you appreciate, "Oh, it's an opportunity we get to spend time, and we don't who cares," you know what I mean?

So, you could have that attitude all the time that it's like a, you know, just enjoy that your company and that you're doing things together.

But from like נה"י to to to the פנימיות, תאוה, that's a means. You're going all the way from the bottom all the way to the top.

You know, because like נה"י mode is like, "Man, I got to get there quick." In between? I think that's like the thing of of raising kids.

Yeah, that's the main thing of the like the father or mother is you know, that they're the father and mother of kids. So, in other words, they have There's a certain level where they connect to each other that's higher than the kids, which is like the פנימיות of it.

Then there's like the regular The main thing in like the middle, the regular thing, is like that they're the purpose of marriage and everything is, you know, to make a family and have children and raise the children and you know what I mean?

And then there's like going to work and doing the taxes and whatever doing like the practical things they have to do just of living together. That's not the real purpose, but it's like the means to an end of just like keeping the house going and having you know, money and having food and everything set up. שלכן זה מה שאין כן בחיצוניות השפעת חכמה ובינה בחג"ת ונה"י וכולי

External influence in Chag HaTag and Ne'ila 6:48

On the other hand, when the חיצוניות השפעה is going into חג"ת ונה"י then it's not like an end in itself, but it's a means to an end. כמו מדות שבחכמה Like the מדות of חכמה שנקרא שנקראים בבחינת ו' קצוות דאבא which are called the six directions, the six six dimensions of of אבא which that means like the way that it's that the חכמה is expressed within like time and space and like, in other words, in a particular form.

It's like already like not the thing itself, but it's like its expression. It's like circumstantial. Like like let's say you're learning in a הלכה about something and you're just learning like it's just like an abstract law. But then when you have an actual case, that actual case is within a certain circumstances of time and space, whatever. That's like the ו'. So, then when you're applying the abstract law to this case, that's the חכמה going into the ו' קצוות of חכמה.

Applying abstract law to a case 7:50

How the law is applied in this case, right? And like when you have a precedent, you do the opposite. You extrapolate the חכמה from the example, from the particular case.

All right. ומדות כמו חסד שבחכמה Like חסד שבחכמה, דהיינו כח השכל המטה כלפי חסד, like that you can use the intellect to lean towards חסד, או כח השכל אחר ש שכל אחר שמטה כלפי דין וכולי or you have another כח of the שכל to go towards דין.

Right? So, you can use your intellect to prove emotions. But that's not the real thing of intellect. The real thing of intellect is just to understand how things are. So, you're using it for your for your own benefit when you're trying to use it to prove your views and stuff like that. You know, you're trying to use the facts to prove your views. ומאירים בחסד וגבורה דבינה And and the חכמה shines into the בינה, so the מדות of חכמה shine into the מדות of the בינה, which then comes up with with explanations to like, you know, make it sound rational.

This point that you're trying to there's a certain point that you have that makes you that substantiates the מדה and supports the מדה, why you think it's good or why you think it's bad. And then there's sometimes a person like has a certain point why they feel that it's good or bad, but they're not so good at explaining it because they don't have such a good בינה.

Doesn't mean it's not true, just some people are better at arguing and better at, you know, forming formulating their thoughts logically and whatever. שהוא בבחינת השגה בטוב טעם בהסבר לזכות ולחוב So, in

בינה, it becomes very well explained, yeah, good reasoning for whether for merit or for guilt. ונקרא מדות שב ונקראים מדות שבשכל These are called the מדות, the emotions of the intellect, המושג which is understood, קודם שנולד במוחש בפני עצמן כמו שיתבאר

before the מדות become actual their own thing, before they become just מדות without intellect, without the intellect, which is ז"א, like we'll explain later about ז"א, how they're born.
