When performing Jewish meditation or praying or even saying a single beracha we are doing what is called to be Mevarer birurim in kabbalistic terms. This is a very deep secret that very few people know about and it’s related to the concept of Borer on Shabbat. Borer is a type of work where you remove something you want from something you don’t want.

In physical terms, this is forbidden on Shabbat and is one of the 39 Melakhot (Creative types of work). However, in spiritual terms, this is done constantly throughout one’s day (including on Shabbat). This is brought down from the Kabbalistic works throughout the ages. The intent then, is to separate and elevate what’s good from what’s bad (and rectify it).

For example: consider someone that is working in a kosher type of work and is bringing support to his family. This is surely a Mitzvah and in Kabbalistic terms, this is also a form a Birur. If the same person is doing the same thing, has extra Kavanah, knows the meaning of what he is doing, has the intention to do it properly and he’s doing it as part of his serving of Hashem then the effect this brings is much more powerful. All the more so if a person is doing it out of joy.

In this case, the Birurim will increase his spiritual strength to elevate more parts of holiness to their original place. As a consequence, we are hastening the Geulah (Final Redemption) even when doing what is apparently “mundane work”!

Thats in essence what we’re doing as we learn in classes. Paradigms are shattered, ideas flourish and with it a new intellect emerges for each and every one of us. Birur in this case means letting go of what’s blocking us, preventing us from reaching our true source and going higher, transcending our limitations.

This is true authentic Torah that can deeply transform your life.

When you apply that in your life in all that you do you will have more strength to do more birurim and to elevate more of the sparks that feel with the breaking of the vessels from the time of Creation. It is nothing less than the purpose of the world.

It is important to note...
