Welcome to among an ongoing faban about life as a vibrant connection with the Reb and inspired living shaped by the way he teaches us each and every day. This episode is dedicated and shindi dan men greenberg. How are you? How are you? I'm doing good for making the time and um it's a lot to talk about a a lot we can talk about. So I hope uh hope you're ready. My pleasure for the de hair. Anything. Okay. Um, so there's a lot of things we can talk about, but I I I think I see behind you you have is that a proclamation? Yep. Correct. That's a local proclamation. That's a state proclamation. Yeah. It's a the Alaska State Legislator proclamation for this year for the Yeah. Okay. So one of the one of the things I think we should talk about because you know you're multifaceted but uh I know that you have a special k in this whole idea of making proclamations right proclamations were for the for the reba's birthday and so what's going on why why is that so so important to bal and important to you What's what's the story? Well, do you want me to go back to how I started getting uh in this? Should I start from there or should I just think about the Indian? Okay. No, you should you should say it the way you want to say it. Okay. So, I I guess I'll say it uh I'll give it my personal uh how I personally got um into this thing. Um, so actually it was from my first years on we're right now on um here in this area like I was I moved on when I was one years old to Alaska but I'm saying like since I came here with my son and we started kabaras our own kabaras we're this summer we're celebrating 10 years so in my first in our first years of here um so I used to bring my children to the preschool in the kabaras in Anchorage so I was driving a lot um So the the one advantage of driving in in and out and in and out was that I had a lot of time in the car. Um which meant that Barash was on the group uh that mental sharf has maybe some people are familiar with it. He has a group a WhatsApp group for many years already that every week he posts a Fbran. So even though everyone can listen to Fibbran all the time but everyone listens together to a certain FBran. So unfortunately now I'm not that involved in that group but then when I was driving a lot I was listening a lot to Fbrangans. So I don't I don't remember what was it for my second year whatever. Anyway, he they were listening to the fibbrangas of the year of now the year of is the year of the heart attack which uh you know other one of the things that we we were the one of the the gifts it's hard to say a gift but one of the things that we have from is two full years of shabasan um that are mat shabas instead of on shabas afternoon shabas That was due that was due to the fact that was connected to the Reb's help. Yeah. And that the Reb shouldn't have to strain himself to speak louder without a mic. So this way the Reb could speak. In the beginning initially the Reb was for bringing from his from his room was saying from his room even play downstairs that people heard downstairs and and obviously was hooked up as well to the whole world. But that started already from and the started getting longer and longer and longer. Um and even after when went home there were still inb's room and even after when came downstairs I think the first time to fing with there was still there still were from his room but anyway the bottom line is bringing matzah shabas but even after theb stop bringing from his room all theans were trans were changed to mat shabas instead of shabas afternoon. So you could listen to full two years of shabas like a shabas style and the two from before the anyway it's a very very very two years um and it's it's just amazing it's amazing amazing uh stuff that we have anyway so uh that year they were listening to the so I tried listening every week to the to that that week's um and Then I heard the and that was the first year that education that the the US um legislature the house the senate made a joint resolution and the President Jimmy Carter signed a proclamation that the rebba's birthday dniss uh will be education day USA now and then the so the rebba speaks about it I would say probably the majority of the fbranian it wasn't such a long maybe because of maybe because of the There were three or four. The majority of the Fabran is dedicated to education day and I always knew about education day before. I always knew that that happens and I always but I never understood and I also knew the Reb spoke about it. The thank the president for the honor but I never realized at how much this was by the Reb like a thing. So I was like and I heard the push was going out of my I was like oh my gosh this is like the started speaking about how this is this the started saying that this is a newlav in the of of basically that this education day is like a new a newlav and coming in the coming of msiah like to me that when I heard that I was like whoa like this is not just you know oh you know my great uncle Ramosv had an idea made education day and the appreciated The said thank you to the president. This is something that the Reb saw as extremely crucial to the whole to the whole purpose of of Mashiah which is the purpose obviously of creation and the purpose of what did the explain why why is that part of the was explaining that basically that the fact that the most the super the superpower of the world United States um which is in other words represents all of humanity basically uh the explained many times that all countries all over the world look up to United States um for they follow them they follow their lead they follow their their uh initiatives the fact that they should declare the importance of education and that that to designate a unique day special for this concept later on the spoke much you know later on it became much more clear that it was about and the years later through President Reagan President Bush was openly about and about the Abisher and about the ten commandments. uh but even then in that wasn't that clear the made it very clear that the entire purpose is to bring an awareness uh with education of children that without belief in God without belief in the um there's no there that's the and that's the whole purpose of education day to bring an awareness by all all students by all children that uh education is not just an education of information of of knowledge of reading writing math science uh history of hulu but they foundation. The most important part of education is education of that there's a eye that sees an air that hears that there's a creator of the world that each per person has a purpose and uh there's it's not it's not the world is not a jungle and yet there's a there there's there's order in this world and and the is watching every single thing everyone does. Um and therefore children have to make have to all people all humanity have to make uh decisions based on the this idea that not not to murder not to not to steal basically to be moral and upright standing people is all founded on the idea of the went on to explain the said where does this come from to make one day for education is a mitzvah to every education is always a mitzvah so what's one day and theb starts saying giving proof proofs from PES from fromash. So what's every day there's a we designate one day to celebrate every day you have to have one day a year is designated that is the focus the same gives from to give like and why it's appropriate to designate one day for so I don't I just walked out of the the and there's so much more to say about the fibbran but so that that's why it's it's an integral part of of the coming of Msiah because that's what Mashiach is that knowledge of the all over the yeah all humanity and and effect and who is the who's recognizing this in other words like in so to speak the king of the world in other words the king of of the king the the leading force the leading power all of humanity from moneywise from power from from influence when the United States says that this is something that's essential it has on the entire world and the doesn't say dearb doesn't say clearly late in later years it's much more clear how it's connected specifically to the to but it's it's self understood um and anyway so I walked out of the listening to and I was part of blown away and one of the first things that was bothering me was like how does not every single citizen of the United States know about education day. Um the is saying that this is a a serious schlav in in the coming of msiah and this happens every single year. I mean how many people know about it? How many will know that the president every year puts out a new proclamation at least at that time? I mean it was and like every like this is to the deb this is extremely important like why doesn't everyone know about it? And I remember I was talking to friends on WhatsApp and this and that how what can we do? How can we make it anyway and it was it kind of stayed in the world of talk fine? Then came and uh we were listening to the and uh all of a sudden the Reb starts speaking about education day and the Reb says just just like a few months ago the United States Congress and the president declared uh that there's education day. So the Reb says this should be uh replicated in every single um country, state, city, every basically any type of government body throughout the world should imitate should do what what what the what the you know the federal government in America did. And there starts explaining that it's very easy now now that it was already done. It's easy to convince other countries and other people to to follow because United States is some is has such a influence on the entire world. People will follow uh the the lead of the United States. Um and and I'm hearing this and again and I'm blown away that is saying that every single city, every single state, every single everyone should should do education day. Um, and that to me I was like, "Okay, now I know exactly what I I was complaining why no one knows about education day." So, right away I'm like, "Okay, now I have I have my I I know what I meant to do." You're saying till then you didn't realize that it was you thought it's just done on the go on on the on the government level, you know, the federal government. You didn't realize that it's for every local should happen as well. Okay. That's right. So, till then, I didn't know what how exactly could I help uh what what happens in Washington. I do with Washington. But now now I say okay in my little city I and someone could say you what's the big deal your little city you should do every yeah said every single city. So uh I was speaking to be after that and I was like does mean like we have to do this and anyway you know how it works. Uh so before you know when things weren't done for a long time so uh you know people never heard of it people no one ever did it no one saw no one this but was it done then? It was done at the time in I mean later on I found out I did my research. Yeah. after and then when the Reb spoke about it, many cities and many states and for sure in the United States did it. um the in Israel it was done the the minister of education put out a proclamation for education day in um I don't know about other states other countries but anyway it was definitely done then and then throughout the years throughout the mems and the nuns many in cities and states and different countries uh did education day and there's answers from theb about it and yakas from the reb and letters from the rebba the mayor of teliv a few times arranged that there should be education day and the reb sent letters uh about it. Um, so there's there's actually Alaska there's a a very sharp answer about Baham that did education day in Alaska on Shabas. Um, wasn't their fault. I mean, they didn't realize, but the Reb was very sharp about the fact that it was done on Shabas. And you could have said how many people even knew they were doing different dates. They weren't doing the So, first of all, when the Reb spoke to the Reb said actually said they should do it before the new year, before the new school year. Um so the the was the designated day and all the proclamations always connected to the it was always in honor of the no matter what what day was in the year. So Bakim came to Alaska in uh in Tashalid. So they were here in the summer. So they had a meeting with the governor they had a meeting with the governor. So yala they made they made a they made actually it was called Rabbi Mmerson day and uh they called Mascerus to find out what day should they do it. So someone in Mosqu told them is coming is a good day without realizing the year was on they got the idea of from it wasn't their idea. So when they sent it into the Reba, the Reba wrote a long answer, very sharp. Um basically how how the no one realized that this is on Shabas, the Reb says most of the things that are done to honor a special day in the United States are connected with Shabas whether it's writing an article or calling calling phone calls or maz or this or that. How and and this is all done in the name of I guess this is in the name of education day. Education. Yeah. Okay. This is done in the name of Lavich and name of this didn't say his name obviously but the name today is Rabbi Mm. Um very sharp very sharp and um and m basically it showed how to me even though it's a sharp answer it shows how much how serious the rabbi takes it. Some you know a cynic could say how many people even knew about that proclamation in Alaska. The the governor made a proclamation. It wasn't put printed in the papers. I mean, I don't think so. How many people even know knew about it? And yet to the it was shabas. So it basically it was something the sees as extremely important. Anyway, so back to Alaska. Anyway, so tas I I put I put together a of a proclamation. I asked I sent it probably was till I got I got the courage to do it. I sent to to the mayor probably two weeks before he do this to the mayor of Palmer, Alaska. Palmer, Alaska has maybe, you know, 8,000 official residents. Um, and I sent it to my mayor and I asked mayor, would you be able to do a proclamation? And she emailed me, "Yeah, sure. We will do it." So, I took the I made a screenshot of that email and I sent it to friend Mama's friends or cousins and boom, a bunch of started copying started started uh copying it. They started doing the same thing. They asked me for the whatever and that's it. That's how the ball the ball started rolling and uh and years in the following years those all the governors of all the states you know different different countries um different cities whatever hundreds and hundreds of proclamations since then started uh became became very uh common again this is not nothing new it wasn't it's not aish this is how this is this was happening for many years before gimmos for whatever reason it was kind of it was taking something that people kind of forgot about and making sure But yeah, and every year I I think since then there's been a big awareness to amongst and others that have influence to make sure that it happens that these proclamations actually are issued because ultimately they're done on a local level. So it needs someone to uh that it should happen. Um so before before we get in I want to know a little bit more about like the philosophy behind education just on a practical level. I think the Reb once said that the Reb's vision for it is that it should be as popular as as Mother's Day or something. Is that what the Reb said? I think that the Reb in the English there's some saying that that the Reb believes that the that education day will help enforce the the days that already exist in the United States like Father's Day and Mother's Day. Um that it will it will enhance and it will it will help. The Reba basically saw it as it will work very well. I guess that's how the Reb was explaining how it's going to be good for the world that it will be uh you know good for United States that is going to enhance the current culture of United States and make it better. Um, by the way, one of the things the Reb said in that was that that because the is that uh that that that the law of the land is is according to when the the the the local government makes a law if it as long as it's not contradiction contradicting to title law then it's then it's uh then then then every Jew is obligated to follow that law. So because it was a law made by the US government education day I'll pay is binding on every so in other words saying even basically says I'll pay because the government did it and because it's not so therefore it's it's a to follow to to celebrate or to recognize whatever education day is there is there um what's when something becomes like a like a legal holiday what is that that that's like another level of legislation like what what's what's the details how that happens you know I don't know I I guess there's there's different levels of stuff there's legal holidays I think they they there's there's no work right they they No I'm saying is the vision for education day to be not only proclamations but eventually that it should I don't know be printed on every calendar let's say or or something like you know that it's a that it's an official holiday in the United States. Um, I'm I'm asking if you understand what the Reb's vision for it is. I don't I think that I think that I think that the what the Reb I'll tell you what the Reb says. The Reb says it's a day to to to be misin purpose of education. The Reb spoke about putting out pamphlets with with with ideas uh explaining the purpose of education. So it's a time to bring an awareness of the importance of education and uh educa and what does it mean education? the real purpose of education which is education on that on on the on the on morals and values that are that are founded on am faith in God and uh and keeping the mitzvah that are relevant to all humanity to all the to to all and um the spoke in Israel when the reb wrote letters to the mayor of Tel Aviv for instance he connected it to mira that the whole is about and the mitzvah so in other words for Jews It's to to Mazak and of of doing what Jews have to do. And for for the nations of the world, it's to mazic what the nations of the world have to do, their obligation. I may maybe uh we're brainstorming over here. Just trying to legitimately understand it. Perhaps the next frontier in advancing education day is to figure out what legislation needs to happen to make it an like like an official holiday. Is that is that something that anyone has to your knowledge has anyone ever explored that? I don't know. One of one of the issues I do know is that it's a the day changes every single year because the day because it's Hebrew birthday so every year the date is different which makes it more complicated I think to designate a day. Um I know for sure uh by me in our in our local uh state legislature. So uh we so the proclamations from the governor and from mayors happen all the time and even what like what I have behind me is like a like a proclamation of the state legislature but I also tried getting uh resolutions like an official resolution. So one year I did it um but it was spent months and months going through committees committees. I know different states don't it's not that complicated to do to do a a resolution but by me the resolutions take I don't know it was went through months and months of of committees and meetings and votings. uh it was it took a long time. So one of the things that our my the legislators that I'm close with said you know we should put this in the system we should do it once and it should be official and this says make one resolution for 100 years. But then the problem came well the date changes every day every year. So the then one of the ideas was maybe let's just put in you know this day and this day and this day and this day and this day for the next 100 years is education is education day as a as a as a resolution. Anyway, we never got to that yet but um It could be that might be one of the one of the issues I'm making a holiday. I don't know. I'm not. Okay. So, this is something to explore. We'll let uh those that think that they might understand what the kavana is to figure out if this is something to explore and figure out who has to do that. I mean I mean I could say is I would think I would think it's a next step. I I I don't know for sure. You know, I'll tell you I honestly don't think it's so much anymore about the proclamations or what the governments do. In other words, that obviously should be done. But it's more about, put it this way, Father's Day and Mother's Day is a mitzas in America whether or not the president puts out a proclamation. There's also no Right. Right. Right. It's the culture. It's part of the culture on this. But by the way, I'm not even sure if they put a proclamation every year. There's a lot of days that became days in United States that there's no proclamations for on a on a yearly basis. In other words, it has a life of its own. It became this is Father's Day, this is Mother's Day, and celebrated in all the companies, which by the way, the last few years, if you if you make some research, you'll see different random companies uh put out uh announcements, social media announcements for education day. I don't know if you saw in the last few years it's catching on and there are random coffee coffee shops this thing that thing they put out education day happy education day something about education random places which grad also a few years ago there was a organization on behalf of the UN um who they made an entire event on Zoom in honor of 40 years of education day actually spoke to the guy who uh arranged it someone that's not Jewish he had nothing to do with Labavich he never spoke any he founded about education day and they made an entire event all from the top to the bottom ran by people that are not Jewish from on behalf of the a certain organization on behalf of the UN all about education day and they speak about the there say it's all about theb and who theb is so it's something that's that's that in other words my point I'm trying to say is that ultimately the point is it's how much we and in general people bring this idea to uh the world and get It's really, you know, that the that that the regular Amadar, the regular crowd connects to these ideas and uh celebrates these ideas and uh implements these ideas. I think that's that's really where where the focus should be. That should be a pin. It should be a real thing that's part of American culture and the the global culture. So, what did what do you do locally like to help celebrate or spread the word about education day in in your community? So what for instance one of the things that uh that we do here but every single so I go I go to every so in my I'm officially my is the Matsu Matsu Valley is a big section a big area in uh in Alaska anyway so there's official four there are four official cities within uh the Matsu so I go to every single from uh from beginning of other I'm try I try try to do it get it done early I go to every single um city meeting city council meeting I go to the burrow meeting. I go I can say I go from meeting to meeting to meeting where they present the proclamation. I give a speech about the about education day about also in in our uh location thanks to the about education day. I also uh we I connected with the school district and we have moment of silence here. So I speak about moment of silence as well and what what should be done by the moment of silence. Anyway, and then at the end I give out to everybody uh the ark the yellow ark the the stuckle box for those who are not familiar uh stands for acts of routine kindness. We give it out we give out the tucker box routine not random routine. Yeah, routine kindness with a a card. Um, I should have had it here, but anyway, the card with the Reb's picture on it uh explaining the connection to education day and explaining that one of the ways to uh educate to to educate our children with uh with morals and values is by teaching them the taka and uh it resonates with people in in an unbelievable way. You tell them that the the idea of charity is not most people see charity as oh you know if someone has a lot of money you can write a big check to an organization. We say no that the idea of stuck is also for the giver that when you train a child a little kid which naturally children and people think about themselves you know you see kids playing they they want everything for they want everything for themselves. So to train a kid to uh to give away something from themselves to someone else that that the explains that that that that's the kid to have more fear of Hashem to have more honor to their parents honor to their to their to their teachers how they treat other children and the explained many times the idea of is is part of the and is relevant to all uh nations of the world. So it's it's something that's universal and did an episode also in tough bay to CNN to add increasing acts of goodness and kindness to make mashia come. So this was something the idea of stuck is relevant to all uh people. So anyway, so you you give out we give out to all the members of people sitting on the council to the mayor to all the people sitting in the room at the meetings. You give them out the box with picture and I it's unbelievable. It has has a med effect on people. People love it. People are very inspired by it. Um, I go back to the city's thumb. I go for Kaneka for to to to fill out a form for uh for permission to put up a mana somewhere and I see at all the desks in the city hall there's the pushka and very often also with picture. I went back to Juno the the the capital of Alaska um two years after I was there before. In other words, I went one and I came back two years later and I see in many offices the arcs with the debasis picture with a card right next to it. So you have people in their offices pictures of the Reb and the the Sakapushk is half full all all over the place. It had like it leaves that that imprint in tons of areas and it's it um and I talk to people all the time, Jews and non-Jews and they're very very uh inspired by by it. That's just one thing um we do with the arcs. Another thing we do is um just this past uh I I made a whole uh uh book signing event for the book letters for life that Lehmadin just put out the Rabba's letters regarding emotional health and wellness in connection with education day and we connected with we partnered with uh eight different organization local organizations in town organizations that deal with youth that deal with troubled youth um with PR organizations newspapers radio stations Um, and there was 100 people that showed up. There was a nice dinner. There was program for the children. 100 people showed up for the for the book. And a few of the people, a few of the organizations that partnered with us, I gave them the book a week before to tell them about it. They came back. They read the entire book and they spoke at the event. They quoted letters from the Reb and spoke about how much that the one of them actually cried. She said that that her husband died suddenly a few months ago and it was a very hard time for her and uh that this book gave her inspiration and really helped her uh heal heal um so anyway it it was to see how the Reb's message resonates with every single human being um and inspires them to to live better lives to live more meaningful life um and that is that that is in other words that that's the idea of education day ultimately is basically as the said from So, so let's talk about the the Reb's vision a little bit. We'll go into the vision of this. I mean, we all know let's talk about the what what you know the the accomplishment of that I mean we're really is famous. We are go reaching out to every single Jew and bringing mak every single Jew no matter what level they're holding in their observance and there's houses all over the world to cater to all Jewish needs physical and spiritual there's a whole another facet to theb which I don't know if it's appreciated enough or maybe doesn't look like it's the main focus but the rebas's vision which is ultimately you know's vision where the rabb was teaching it for the whole entire world and obviously we're looking to change the world because we believe that via coming every day what is mashia mashiach is going to be the revelation of hashem in the world like it says in many other places and really it seems that this is such um it's a very big focus of the rebba beyond what we can do for our fellow etc. But there's also you know everyone talk likes talking about that the Jewish people and we need to be light on the nations the I think is the first one that really said let's do this through education day through moments of silence and other methods and it might not be even for people might not a understand it b be involved in it at all I don't know maybe you can elaborate a little bit on what's going on here why why is this so important Um yeah so first of all the rebba himself speaks about how how the idea of sham mitzvah you know rubbed many people wrong and one of the questions was you know if this is just similar to what what was one of the questions if this is so important where was it till now the famous answers about that the same thing the question was why didn't my do why we never heard from that every is has to be to accept to influence on all the the nations of the world to fulfill the mitzvah but at the end of the day we never saw anyone doing actually wayb explained the part of it is that that's I we never saw anyone doing it so the said in previous generations there would have been persecution if if if yidden were teaching non-Jews about about about God about so the says but the now that we don't have this that that obstacle so the that's brought down now applies since we don't have that obstacle you know in front of us right exactly so so basically that's the is saying that that we didn't we it wasn't possible to do to fulfill this but now that we are we are obligated to do it and you know obviously this was something that was very uh very revolutionary and um for the Yiddish I think for the all for the Yiddish world in general and including also I think um Rabbi Sim Jacobson has a he says that um if you look and say and if it would have been written a few years later it probably would have looked very different. Um, the point is that basically in other words that the that you know the the the way how it was the way how this topic was viewed even by you know and and there was a certain way of viewing it and then with the withbanes inbra and the lammed in the in the 70s and especially the 80s and the mems the nuns was a very very radical um very different a big revolution in this whole in the way how we in the outlook on this concept on this topic um actually I heard of Fbran from uh from after I think was now you know gem uh on gem TV there's big there's big revelations on a lot a lot of stuff that used to be uh not open to the public so one of the things that came out lately was abran from 770 after maybe this sh theimish I think it's from that time. Anyway, what there is a conversation over there about mitzvah and you could see it it seems like to me at least that is trying to figure out what the and for those who who are who are familiar a little bit about you know very often speaks the world and um anyway the place of you don't you don't hear that much at least I didn't hear that much from uh inel's articles or speeches you go every fab in in the in the mems the rebba spoke on television spoke to the world and the reb's vision the is very very strong about his vision to the world about the place of all the in in this process the night before a beautiful speaks of there about the of every over the otherb in other words how went to new extremes at every single fromb to the middle. He explains how each one the he says what's sobba many times would say that translate into many languages. So you look and look at the the early years but what's the fault of translating into many languages for Jews who don't read Hebrew for the for the Jews or for Jews that don't know who you know are not that educated that they could also learn what does it's for the for the for the nations of the world to be able to understand clear of translating is that non-Jews clear and said in the that one of the one of the reasons why the was was translated into English is that learned because because even though there's a is if are obligated uh to believe if if the idea of uh how do you explain if basically if association in other words in addition to the also if that is is non-Jews are not for it's obviously But for non-Jews the question is if is it a des or not and the said even though it's a if it's considered a for nonwe or not it definitely is better if they don't if they don't believe in for sure it's better and is the ultimate belief inem so for a non-Jew to learn one of the reasons why the Tanya was was translated into English is for nonju to learn and I and I think for many people this was something they did they didn't know exactly how to handle it how to stomach it how to how you How how is this meant to be understood and um and and and what's you know what's the place in this whole thing? Um the Reb said in by the there's a video of it. It's also says that it's the name is called what's the word and international international the whole world and one of the things says is that for every human being says there that the majority of people in every are non-Jews which means is that a lot of the time of the I think even the use the majority of the time not necessarily is designated to the non-Jews because the job of is to influence all the withish and all the nations of the world with soba makes it very clear that said in for instance that by the public manora lightings said there's probably going to be non-Jewish people there as well so therefore at the minora lightings they should be speaking about so bottom line is um the vision to reach every Jew on the same way and the the bigger the bigger of the is to reach the non the non-Jewish population as well to inspire the non-Jewish population as well and the fact that I say more than this I say that that in other words the fact I I don't know if I saw this on but but I think it's my herish that the fact that today there's no persecution and therefore we could do shab mitzvah it's not oh there's no pure persecution so therefore now we have to do it but It's because that it's the Reb's generation. It's the last generation before before Gula. It's the last generation of G and the first generation of Gula. That is why the Abish are made that this generation has no persecution. And therefore, we could influence. This is the first time in Jewish history that Jewish people are able to influence the non-Jewish world and and it's accepted in a it's because this is in other words the fact that this is why why wasn't it why 100 years ago was for a Jew to influence a non-Jew why was it like that because the time wasn't ready it wasn't the time of mashia in this time didn't experience such such such uh such and such uh um shalom you know Jews are in such a good position in the last 70 80 years it's because this is because it's the generation of Mashiach because it's the Reb generation that is why this is such an amazing time in the world and that is why it's the first time in history that that Jews are able that Jewish people are able to influence in a positive way the non-Jews and it's not as said many times that when aid said it's tons of times that when y are going to influence the mitzvah it will add honor and respect to the Jewish people. The Reb said also when if a Yid is involved in business with a non-Jew and the non-Jew sees that the Yid is not only there for business but he cares about his own the Yid cares about this non-Jews. He cares that he should have they should have they should how he behaves how he that he that he believes in God that he that he keeps this will bring respect by the non-Jews to the Jewish people and will respect they'll respect them they'll honor them they'll they'll protect them they'll help them financially said all these things the said we're going to gain the yidden will gain by caring about the spiritual needs of the non-Jews so um my question is this There's many people's question that I want to I want to continue talking about like the philosophy behind it but before before that there's a shila that ultimately if you look at the sikas so that's it the kabad houses should become global you know god god godly centers you know wisdom wisdom centers whatever and we should open up all the doors to uh to the whole world and that's it call it a say um yet I do know that there are when the reb was speaking the there were some that started making devoted activities uh for mitzvah and there were some answers from the rebba that that's not necessarily the so what what what in your understanding what is the what is the fine line and the balance that needs to be done for people but particularly for forim so the it's a good question and move. Everything I'm saying is based on my understanding. I'm sure there are different people that feel differently or hold differently, but I'll just say what I think and I'm and in no way am I saying that whatever I whatever I'm saying is is uh is is whatever. I'm just saying what I think. Maybe I'm wrong. Um so first of all, a few things. First of all, I think that there could be a misconception and a mistake by some that think that or our influence in the world means that blurs that blurs the the the the or that blurs the of and became a mitzvah and it all of a sudden it makes everyone one big loveydovey uh what's it called and there's actually a from is clawless and tough I forgot the date there's a video of it the says clearly the says obviously that um that when they go out and deal with it's after that they are um careful in keeping their mitzvah and therefore there's no there's no and because they're so careful in tayag mitzvah there's that being involved with will have a bad on them often. So in other words, dealing dealing with doesn't mean that that uh that all of a sudden that that there's any the fact that the fact that we're going and having an influence in means that we recognize who we are that we recognize we're the chose us and gave us mitzvah and gave us mitzvah and and and and of became a mitzvah. So in other words, it's not one it's not in any way, shape or form um in any way avite in being proud and strong about the the of and and in other words what you're saying is that perhaps one of the reasons why you know the gave guidelines like how this should happen is for this reason so that you know to be clear that Wait, wait, one second. First of all, you're a Yid and you call yourself and we're here we're here to help every single Jew. And that's, you know, that that that's that's who we are. And with that, there's also the obligation that we have for the world at large. But it's not it's not on the it shouldn't be on the expense or or blur or blur these two things together. I I don't know if it's one is like the and one's like that the addition. I don't know if that's that's from the doesn't seem like that. I'm just saying is that it's that but there were and they wanted to open up uh centers centers. Okay. Okay. Yeah. the the next thing is I think that so that's I just want to say that I think that's a very important thing for us for those who are who think about getting involved in these things to understand that this is extremely important that it means being and and no playing around with with with one with one I mean I know I when you deal with you could come to questions about speaking about other religions this that I just want to say that I I want to say that you deal with this in in your in your in your local you actually do this like this is not a theory and yeah yeah and and and it's something I'm just saying that yeah the moment that we you're you're from one and that you're going against the whole the whole the whole the whole and everything if if it's if it means compromising then it then then then it's not even so so I you speak to non-Jews very often they start bringing up their their faiths their religions and I tell them openly a Jew is not allowed to engage in other faiths and other religions so therefore I don't know about anything you're talking about and I'm not going to talk about it and I and and the I just saw a few is a strong believer that when you tell a nonju strong that you have guidelines and this is how it is. You say the truth without without that that non-Jews will respect you more is brought to you by we live in a chaotic world a world where for us we do not have the ability to hear and see the on a daily basis. Yet we know that the reba is very much with us and is alive and thriving more than ever before.

The said when the Tanya was printed in English said that those who are afraid that are going to see what it says there and they'll be turned off was talking about the Yeah. So yeah paragraph um and there's a famous there's famous back and forth with with with theb says in theb says that the the are going to see that this is the ems and the they're going to they're going to respect it more for it. So when you when when a yid is strong and and and sure and confident in who they are and what they represent just p no one to be afraid of there's nothing to be afraid of in the more honest we are the more truthful we are the moreish you are the more you are the more developed will will uh respect you and and and appreciate you that's just a very important I think is um regarding the the the in of I think there's also uh what that's why he's talking about the answers the rabbi gave him So I think in our mindset in uh the typical kabad mindset so you know what do you eat very often like which by the way I think the problem could also be with yen also you know like some if a has a meeting with a Jew and he asked him during the meeting to put on film with the and theid said he doesn't want to put on film if walks away from that meeting and they feel like it was a waste of time or was not success it's You're not just you. The deba didn't send you to this place to get more men to put on fillin and your success is is valued based on how many yiden put on fill. Of course, you should try to get people to put on the fillin. But it's not just about filling. There's more to the there's more to the connection. The fact that you connected with the fact that you sat down with the and even seemingly had a casual conversation you mentioned yiddish. This itself is is the is is an unbelievable accomplishment. It it it's not it's not we're not measured say yeah wants you try to get you can put on but if the guy doesn't want to put on there's there's there's other things there's in other words there's there's a deeper purpose also exactly and even if you can't get a in other words not everything is is is in the box of the very fact that you live in a location And your house is called the kabad house base kabad. You're the ambassador in this location. And that itself is the ultimate goal and ultimate purpose. Every person, every person, man, woman, child, Jew from the you you that that is already an accomplishment. So based in that within the mindset of so we think what does mean? Oh, so you have to go to an Andrew. So you need something instead of fillin. So you shove down his throat and you say the chevitz you read you read off rattle off the the card. You give him a card's card. So I mean I'm not saying that that's so so so what were some doing? Okay. So we have to teach they started giving now any I mean I know for sure if I would make an announcement I'm giving classes in the Bible or giving classes about God. But I have hundreds of people coming to my to to myas non-Jews to to to study and what the one of the brought to the I have a group that comes to me every single week or whatever comes to them so every so often and uh they're they're leaving their churches they're leaving this and they're having questions about what type of they could do what type of they could do what's the getting very close and he's he's asking the reb should should they come into could they be part of this could they be a part of that so the rebon and the rebba said should give modern mcus uh and and and made it very very clear has to be very serious uh sack and the said that basically couldn't figure out couldn't come to a consensus of what what should be done and what shouldn't be done and therefore the whole thing fell flat and the felt from this that basically that the fact that the sentum didn't know what to do is that basically that the rebba was obviously in some way basically telling him no and he stopped all his classes he stopped and there were there were other that Actually, the did tell them not to do these type of things. No, I mean there's there's never thing that each thing has to be deal dealt with. I'm not sure which I actually punct over the last half a year. I spoke to whoever didn't know if we're supposed to mention names here, but didn't Rabbi WG have an answer from the about that's what I'm talking about. So, the answer was to go to him. That's what the answer was to go to and maybe even clear the Reb said I think he went to Vadav did his letter to the Reb and the Reb's answer to him is public. You can read it. So um yeah the rebba sent him to the rebba said that should give him upsak bab I think with mar is basically not stumped to give up there should be a really that's that okay that's a really uh you know a real source-based sak and I think maybe the deb even said something like should be serious from the way he unders well the way he understood it was there was a little bit of a rejection about his formalizing yes and then and then I think he also spoke to rabbi and also said that different times times that he he tried um doing something the rebba basically paused it. So Rabi WG has an understanding that even though the Reb spoken very strongly about yet when it came to the Reb put brakes on a lot on well he he feels on everything the basically when it came to practical the stopped things I mean we know that the Reb wanted a book to be printed for that that Nissandel was meant to do and that also never came out I think the Reb didn't let it come out then so there's this so so what does this mean what does this mean but the fact that so my so first of all a lot of people strugg struggle with it because you read the and the is very clear about it and then all of a sudden you hear these stories. So, so what what does this all mean? The fact of the matter is there are people that did get get permission. So, for instance, uh Dava Nakshin and Avitab they uh they printed uh they printed um uh brochures to give out in the diamond district or something like that. What is it called in whatever? Avitab used to do business in the diamond district maybe or whatever. Yeah, diamond district. They made uh they made brochures and they got answers from the rebba and the rebba actually was mad as them and the rebba think they said or whatever there's a whole back and forth about they wrote about the one time they didn't write about the reba next time they wrote about the rebba the gave them more compliments anyway they got clear uh there was back and forths about uh making and there's and there's other examples of things that the gave permission to do for practical stuff real things so I I don't and then another thing the whole education day is all the proclamations at education day himself self went from country to country trying to get uh leaders of every country to sign the national scroll the international scroll of honor which was signed first by President Reagan to in honor of the rebba declaring about shab mitzba spoke about this there's letters about this so of course doesn't think that the whole shab mitz are shut down but I think what I what I understand and I think that the the this this is why I understand it that the in other words like this okay this is this is how I I coin it, maybe I'm wrong, that the to look to is special for Jews. The of reaching out to every individual, seeking out like like Rabbi Sach says the same way Hitler seek out every Jew with hate. The Reb has his people seeking out every Jew with love. He's not in enough seeking out. Our job is to seek out every Yid. Everyid, every one Jewish child that get that that learns, one that puts on fill and one woman that is calling and saying, "How many Jewish kids are there in your city? Do they all have a Jewish education?" Hanging up the phone these type exactly that that that's special for for for Yidden. Mhm. I I don't think that the job in other words if you think about even practically there's not enough for sure now but even in a 100 years there's not enough to deal with every single one of the billions of people on the planet on a one-on-one basis. Okay. But that's not an answer because the was saying to reach out to every when there was when there was 10 in the world. No, because it's it's because that that's that's aan on us. the fact that we can't reach out to the fact there wasn't 5,000 70 years ago in the in the in other words practically it was it's we didn't work fast enough for the is for the but in Indian what we have now you're saying there's not if every would be there's still not enough to influence every single nandrew okay that's what you're saying and the always spoke about the belt And you see practically right the anyway fine the the point is that is is is the always spoke about that in Yiddish always the was always gave her the camel I mean even even in in the of the world right what people always say I mean this is not our talking points people always say you know all how many of the Nobel prize winners are Jewish why is that because by in We we never we never were successful in our is not our is not our thing. We're in when it comes to you need you need to reach the masses. You need to get to everybody. So to sit and make if if you have a vision of mitzvah as uh you know how many are going to come into your come you lost the plot. That's that's not the point. The point is how you have to reach you have to bring the Reb's message and the message of of of Yiddish to every person possible and it's not by the typical house format. It's not by getting people into so first of all you have to be careful about that there shouldn't be shouldn't be a mix of and nonul you're the kabaras in the typical form is meant to be for yidden the connection the the so so you have to reach the world how do you reach the world by big things like like like like the proclamation like using the government governing body point to very influential people exactly you go to you So, so the way you the way you understand it is the Reb does want and to be involved in it, but does but not necessarily is it in the format of you know like you're going to find every Y and just getting to do one more mitzvah and whatever or whatever one it's more of how can we by using our position in the world also influence the whole world like on a global scale or on a mag big you know on bigger scale and that's why DA for that you need government and you need influential people to be involved. So basically a little bit behind the scenes or causing things to happen. Exactly. Exactly. So in other words when a goes to the government and influences their government or influences whatever that all the public schools have a moment of silence. Right. I I I did it in my in my in my area. So 19,000 students begin their day every day with moment of silence. I just reached all the kids in my area without anybody even knowing. Right? So, I didn't bring I didn't I'm not making a mitzvah of getting public school kids into my kabaras and to talk to them about God and maybe I'll get 15 kids, maybe I'll get 20 kids. I reached 19,000 kids in their public schools through the the school through the school schoolboard president through whatever through through the the whole. So, it's first of all, it's not it's not about my reach. It's about bringing the obviously the message of of uh of of of goodness and kindness and and uh humanity. But I'm saying that in other words the point is not to reach each individual. Yeah. Exactly as you said. So through government or through influential people, through the newspapers, through the radios, through the radio, through television, through uh social media, not to sit there and and and just like you have a Jir, you have a a para class in your seven and a half people show up and you feel all good. You got seven people to learnish. So you get 10 people that are not Jewish to learn. that I I don't think that's the I don't think that was the kavana get all the but should there be organizations that are dedicated to this uh to this cause which cause mitz I'm not telling other what other things should be done I'm I'm saying what I I put it put it this way I think that I think the martial education day I think could be much more have a much bigger impact if there would be a designated or organization to to work on it I think so I said the mitzvah has a massive potential to mamish take over the world. I think moment of silence um I mean the reba once clearly moment of silence in all the public schools and uh in the last few years uh Florida was think Arizona was think uh what's it called um another place another state I forgot what's the name is right now working moment of silence there there's in the last 10 years seven years are working very very hard on their local schools uh to get moment of silence done and I think definitely much more work could be done that to to do that and that is clearly one of the shab mitzvah. Mhm. Okay. So, let let's let's move back towards the uh the philosophy behind all of this. So why is this why is this I guess it's connected to the Reb's vision of the world which is to actually bring Msiah and actually change the world this time for good and actually finally make see for more details and this is this is the the way the rebel laid it out in the beginning. So how are we going to make a through doing and through what's going to happen by when comes that the whole world will will have the whole world will will be filled with the knowledge of the so in order to hasten it's also connect I think to what the way the Reb speaks about Msiah that we're not yes Msiah is miraculous but we're not only waiting for Mashiach to come down from the sky out of the blue but that there's a natural progression that the world has to go through in order for Msiah to come and we could be part of it right like there's a theb told students that while Msiah is miraculous I don't always like to view it only like that not I'm not saying exact quote but I'm paraphrasing and the Reb says that you know for example maybe Mashiach will be a master in technology and he'll influence the world that way so basically what we're doing here with with with influencing the is first of all what we're doing here with with getting other to do is to help bring and we're doing here with other with influencing the world is finally getting uh people to have Hashem and part have God being part of their life and ultimately the fulfillment of that will be coming of Msiah but that this is part of the process right is that so yeah by the way if you mention the it's a I think they printed it lately Maybe um we printed it a long time ago. Maybe we printed it again recently. Yeah, but we did we did print it. Yes, it's a and if I could u a little bit, but what what you said that they asked I'm glad I'm glad that I gave a disclaimer that I'm paraphrasing because I didn't I didn't read it recently. Yeah, the the said the said that um they they asked the questions about Mashiach. Um and the Reb basically said the Reb gave an example. The said basically mashia is a real again maybe I'm making mistake but the was basically trying to say that mashia could be a a relatable reality. Um and the rebba said he gave the gave an example he said imagine if somebody would come up with a weapon that would be the most powerful weapon in the world and all nations would need that weapon. So the said obviously all nations of the world would have to be now but of this person right look look what right now what's going on with the nuclear the nuclear weapon in Iran. Look how the entire world is all of a sudden siding with Israel to destroy Iran's nuclear weapon. In other words, this little weapon is all of a sudden has an influence on the entire world. So imagine somebody and that's something everyone can understand. Someone could create today in modern technology someone all of a sudden creates something and to me I I read in during co they think about co right if you told somebody before co that there'll be five months that the entire world will shut down there'll be no flights there'll be no this no that shs will be shut down everyone would laugh at you make sugar but all of a sudden one little stupid virus has such an influence if a little virus could have an influence on the entire world someone could make a with AI okay someone could come up with a with a with a concept and imagine somebody came up with a technology that the entire world needs. Boom. The whole world is bleed to that one person is giving an example of one man, one person, one individual will have it. And the Reb says that's what Mashiah is. Mashiah will be able to get the entire world in a in a physical way, not just and and in a positive way. Yeah. But the point we're talking about were negative, right? But but the point is that that that in a rational way Mashiach will have a way to get all nations of the world to to come to him. So that they tell the reb at the end they say to the wow you know usually we view msiah as you know supernatural miracles and here you're giving such a rational rational like so the said I also think mashia is is supernatural is going to come with miracles and supernatural the says sometimes I feel that it's harder for people to stomach if if everything is so I like to give give also understanding in a physical way and I think that's the the the of the is also without all the mice. You know when the spoke spoken the says that he negates the whole miracles of Mashiah coming. Right. Right. So so and I think the Reb's explanation is because Ram says that's that's not it doesn't say it's not that can't be um I mean the Reb speaks when the Reb speaks on Mashia he always talks about coming down from the sky. And it's coming down from the sky. Yeah. Ps like those words. Doesn't say. Yeah. Yeah. So, so it's not anyway. So, how do we get here about Oh, I was thinking I'll tell you like this, you know. Um, what's it called? Like I'm lately I'm this year I was trying to I'm trying to learn the par every week. So, so um you learn the whole thing. Yeah. The the whole the whole par. So, so I'll talk about that. Okay. So, so basically that as long as you remember what we're going back to. Okay. We're going back to um that's connected. Okay. So the the is why the said in the and to learn the entire when printed again the made to learn the entire par every week and the told whoever whoever learned it said was a whole thing about that um and then throughout the years we spoke about I remember the learning went to the mems that theb said that just like the par has and one that's each part of the week. So to also has that's each day of the week just we don't know which one is belongs to what. Um so anyway there's a there's a it's a weekly it's a video. Yeah. And um I actually remember watching it and I think you were there the says that it's the parish is just like the regular parish just like the regular parish each ali is connected to the day of the week right is Sunday is Monday. So the same thing with the parish. Yeah. But we don't know which one is which. Which part of the parish is connected to which day. However, we do know that the beginning right in the beginning must be connected to the first day, right? Because it's the beginning, right? So since today Sunday, I'm going to explain now something from the beginning of this week's par. It was a week. You're sure? Was a in the front. For some reason, I remember learning it. Anyone if anyone remembers please uh post the date of this. Thank you. Okay. Um yeah but I yeah I remember that I remember that that thing. I thought that was saying the end I thought it was said the end of the but no I might be making something up but u I'm pretty sure I saw that says that. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Another thing I think said about learning said is learn but not they said anyway to learn the is obvious basically but in addition after learn something like that in other It's you have to learn um what was you're saying you're saying you're saying that obviously learns but is a fundamental thing that's very important I mean the whole the is so yeah the once said about how how would learn with the little children of the week some people say that that means father I don't know if there's another story because there's a story the Oh, that the Reb said what you just said by that there was a thing that people did learn it with their kids and I think the says I don't know why people don't do it. Right. Says that I don't remember. I don't remember. And there's a whole story. I think it was I don't know. I think it was I think it was I think it was him. He saw the Reba He saw the Reb's father reading look at the and the Reb was a little kid next to the Reb basically reading it to the Reb and he asked she doesn't understand and basically think the Reb's father said to ask him the rebba knew the content of of so this story came out I don't know you know more recently whatever became famous recently but then there's a says there was a mimi that parents used to learn with their children So that was talking. Yeah. Okay. Soon. Yeah. So, so then but spoke by the famous the last said that only that yeah very very strong that uh that is also you know is also used a lot to quote a lot. Um and so even in the but especially when you look at the building the the is majorly in um to the point that in the building it's not it's not written that way in the building the said that is usually it says that about usually says about here the said and the said a fascinating line the said over there was that just Like there's a minig to finish an entire Rambam to complete learning Rambam in a year. So too you you should also finish an entire within a year. And to me that was like it's like it's like personal is you know Jews have been learning for 250 years like basic thing. Yeah. Back in the day when there was barely any you know what were people learning that was that was the book. And here the says just like we learn I mean how many years was there already after five years six years seven years whatever and yeah how yeah about five years whatever six years and here the says just like you learn the entire every year so too you should also finish every year um anyway and come up throughout the brings it up again because Reb was kept on quoting the end of aboutka the whole thing is from um it's a very very central theme in the mug also it brings out but it's in the building it's much more uh you see that there was something that was very much part of the fab and I remember when the first time I learned the building and I was a bach still it it really uh it really shocked me you know like because you know you in a very um immature I am in my immature head or or when you don't when you don't really I think I think when uh I don't know what the right words to say is I I think there there's a very childish way of seeing you know thinking about Msiah thinking about is is is like in other words how many times has been quoted and and that that's not but I guess what I'm trying to say is like this that what's Mashiach basically what is Mashiach The is screaming that Mashiah is here. It's our job to tell the entire world. Mashiah is what does that mean? What it means is is is um you know what's Mashia? I just heard people keep on people keep on are you tying this back to the Chevitz thing or this is not yet different track. Okay. Yeah. A little bit of a different track but maybe it's maybe it's connected. Um but actually people I see people on the podcast keep on mentioning Shawn Lipskar. I just heard a speech of Shawn Berkf I think from Anal in 770. So he says you know what's Mashiach? Msiah means people are instead of doing what they want, they're going to be learning. Yeah. In other words, what's Mashiah? Mashia means they're gonna be busy all day learning or or or experiencing. I think I think what I listened to those I think what he says is it's not that you're going to have better better herring at the Exactly. If you think Mashiah is going to be a picnic like uh you know it's so it's it's where we tell to the kids the chocolates will grow on the trees. Mashiah means after means I just I just told my four-year-old that he was very excited the candies he's always looking for candies by the way I told him by the way soon you're going to have a lot of them and whatever say means that the madanim all the the delicacies of the gashmas of the world will be to us like dust will mean nothing to us which by the way ah called me the other day and was telling me that the whole you know the whole of the world of AI that AI AI will take over uh will take over people's jobs and take over people's work. The whole vert of AI is that the dream of AI that the person in 25 years everyone will have everything there'll be plenty and what's the fear that people will be bored and people will be bored will go wild but what what's what's the what does say about Msiah that everything will be in abundance we'll be we'll have time on our ends yeah we'll have no needs all our needs will be taken care of and here and by the way how he likes giving a gosh to to see it in a way AI based on this dream that AI is going to take over all jobs and whatever is part in a physical way we could see in our own eyes that that how a reality that the world won't need to work well be everything we'll have we'll have in abundance and we'll have nothing else to do besides learn the point is what what am I saying so I think I I feel that what the said in the as kind spoke and all these atheists about Msiah and then the same has such a about learning the whole thing. Someone could say you know is so busy this that if your whole job is to is to bring and to say that the last is that what does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? It means that you have nothing else in your life that bothers you besides besides living. So if it means that spends five hours on Shabas to learn or which is this week which is which is insane is a massive very very long which could take hours and hours and hours and hours to learn. You know what's Mashiach? Msiah means hours and hours having one. So there could be no there could be no better way in tasting and and the only way he could give over to andra is if you have to so when is busy hours and hours a week learning the forget about the just the amount of time it takes to read those words even if you don't understand which by the way there's there's minusb about the people that complain they don't understand do understand it was very clear from the that even if have a hard time understanding all you have to finish all the I think one lo one to know to learn well and the rest I think I think once said the beginning the beginning of the first the the point is that that yes so anyway so that always uh you know had had a big impact on me obviously I think on many people I think many people learned it because of that that and I learned it a few times I learned air a few times before but whenever came to PE time I always fell off when came to this year actually Yasi Jacobson Rabbi Yas Jacobson posted on a group I say to learn and uh I decided to jump on I was thinking about it from yeah no I wasn't sure I should or shouldn't anyway I got inspired and I decided to do it so yeah he gets the credit he gets the credit okay very good I also learn but I don't know if I finish the whole thing. I definitely start um actually I was mafim I was mafim um or my status um about the um in the beginning of the year and there were a few I started learning it I know at the end of when I finished at least once maybe more told me that that they learned the entire for the first time in their life that year this year. It's beautiful. Okay. So how did this So let's tie it back. You mentioned the because let's go back. Oh, one of the things I was thinking when when you learn when I learn I can't talk about anybody else. When I learn um it doesn't feel like we said before about it feels like to me it feels like talking. So first so first of all I mean to do thatb's first you learn from theb and you learn that week chances are there's be something touched upon from you learn the first especially if you learn especially the early that is giving the foundations there always that all the famous thing this week's parish you know the the whole They didn't want to be involved in right comes from it comes from the whole thing. Yeah. And the same thing with Mashiach. The same thing with how many times say loss of love. Lost not. It's all over thousand times. Um so like and used to tell everybody that to prepare for to learn from the of that week the first few on on the what did and say on on the par of that week. So so that's that's probably one reason why why I see the deba there. I I I think that in its is it's the pilp said once that maybe the name of the that he the question was in the to write you know what I'm talking about on the sh of the it says right anyway the the chain of the or I should say the chain of the and the should be Because because it's all one thing this is all one one thing it was written because there can't be any there can't be any darkness in the source of the light is the source there's no shalas only in there could be a chain whatever the point is that basically in in many ways all the in in in some ways are all one Indian it's all one mo it's all one concept the the kdish is that each Reb took this and brought it to a whole new level brought it to a whole new level in in in so that the same Mashiah the Reb speaks about already heard about but then what did mean that that you're the hagashi of a person of a Jew sitting in a little vinkle in Russia that was the so the understands from your from your Yeah. So when the understands and appreciates I heard I heard that when the started introducing the there was a certain somewhere that was they were saying we have to and I was like what do you mean you always do we're always doing this we're spreading yeah so there was also I mean that there was there was there was citizen to influence other Jews to and printing. I mean this is so but it was but it came in stages. Exactly. So it's not like the it was always about just the on yourself but yet there were plenty of people that you know that that's what was and I should and I should be and that and I the is saying they the whole world you know how they understand then so for them mashiach and the world meant myself whatever you know the the entire world even even within the Jewish world but for sure and every generation and these things take on a real when I say real well depends there and right das says that the is the true existence and das says l and that the that the here the world is the real existence is the real reality and the is something we don't understand be above understanding and the whole point is to make of both the is to take the the physical disconnected world and say that this physical world in all its in its lowest level in its simplest lowest cr level level has to be totally with the highest levels of and in every I think every generation it meant what it meant for that generation and the basically takes it down and says it means every Jew in the most lowest levels in everywhere in the world in the most everything is in the most literal sense these things already said it's already stated but the takes it and says this is for like for again you have to be careful when you say for real for real but for real this means like in other words if you told that a non-Jew should should uh should have a moment of silence and think about God, right? or or or or give stuck up because the Reb said or have they laugh at you not I think even in the and I think even big like big of the would would think that it's it's it's that's not an Indian even and by the it's no this this is that Msiah is a practical real world change that the world will change every detail of the world will change and not just through not necessarily only through Nissim that will come and make this and change the world. But in a in in a in a way that the will be in will be refined and elevated to be a cle to the al to be a cle to to the and that in in other words I think our I think the of bringing mashiach and the is in other words if the miracles the miraculous mashiach that's not that's the job of mashiach to do our job is to make to in a natural way to make the world ready naturally for Msiahb the the after the six day war to um to Gutnik the Rabbi Gutnik from uh from Australia which just mish recently came out a recording of Gutnik saying this saying over this this mamish right after it happened in 770 it's been printed for a long time was printed originally yeah it was printed for a long time but here you hear him how he's talking to Gordon is sitting at that conversation he's talking to Gordon it's like fresh right right after he heard it one of the things that said speaking to him they were speaking very strongly about Mashiach and one of the things that spoke about was the mashiach asked how is it possible that Mashia will call you how is that possible that one man will like literally influence every single Jew to go on so the said it doesn't have to be Mashiah himself it could be through I think anyway that So in other words, every uh every in the world I mean the said in many times is is yeah so our job is like we have to see ourselves and we have to realize that and every that's right and and the said that um the said in that every single is of and the Reb said that um that just like and it whether you like it or not it's not up to you said just like a Jew once you're born a Jew you're a Jew you can't change it right that's where we're we're we're masters at telling people that you're Jewish no matter what you are you do behave that way you don't behave that way you're born Jewish you're Jewish Just like a Jew is born Jewish. Every Jew in this generation since the became the whether he likes it or not. What's your is how much are you going to live according to that reality just like a Jew, right? You're Jewish whether you like it or not. It's up to you to let that truth um be uh lived and realized in your life in a day-to-day level or not. You could do mitzvah, you could do mitzvah. The more you do it, the more you're living according to your true identity. same thing that the the only question is how much are we going to um embrace this reality that we are of the but every Jew is so every single and especially those who officially are associated with officially associated with we are all and our job is to um to basically do Mashiach's job is to is to influence every single Jew to go in the ways of is to get the world ready love so back to the whole topic. I think that um you know that that in other words that that this when you're talking about why is this I think that the basically took which was a concept in this maybe or whatever in made it push it and brought it down to reality. It literally means to that every single non-Jew will be influenced by the Aisha will be influenced by Tyra will be inspired to follow the thera of our generation which that's by the way a very uh central po mentioned many times that that it's that if that says that it's important that that a nonjun knows was given through um very often Whenever mentions mitzvah, he mentions that line that that that what are we talking about? I was talking in the mitzvah that came to me like I think the point is that it's it's it's given at right that the name is part of it saying the there's a whole of which then was the first and there was also 850 years of or something like that spoke a whole about how it's important that the should give cover to the Rambam and the Reb speaks about how it's important that should they should make stamps in honor of the Rambam and they should make events and proclamations and mishb is making a whole that the different governments of the world should do things in honor of the 850 years of the then the goes and says what's the what's the first of all the explains how he could go to a non-Jew and a non-Jewish government and explain them why they should care about Reb doesn't say, "Oh, you know, give honor to a Jewish rabbi." No. The Reb explains that the Raam was dedicated for the well-being of non-Jews. The Raam writes that he was a doctor and a big part of his career, a big part of his his work as a doctor was pushed to help. He he didn't sleep. He didn't have just to help non-Jews was dedicated to the well-being of non-Jew of of the of the nations of the world. also ina is the only from the only that wrote a whole in his in his for the non-Jews he writes about and he says about what what does say when it comes to mashia the the purpose of the whole creation that that's including so writes the vision about the purpose of the world the go are part of that the fact that the occupation of the entire world will only be to know That's part of that's part that the the non-Jews are included. So Sai in his s in his actions the Rama was dedicated to non-Jews and therefore it makes sense that non-Jews should do things to honor and recognize the Rambam and then the Reb says and those are saying what's the big non-Jews will give to the Rambam. So the Reb says one of the greatest that Jews are benched is that the nations of the world give a to the So the fact that nations of the world recognize the godless of the is one of the greatest blessings that you didn't have. Then the goes and says how in the migill it speaks about that these are the the fact that the nations of the world recognize the godless of yidden and more specifically obviously the leaders of the yidden this is a very this is a and there's a there's a said in which actually someone pointed out to me that was just a few months after education day in um week fab you carry on tape and it's also mug the reb says the story about the marash the marash was one time taking a walk or going with his wagon and he took a different route than he usually took and he was going through a bunch of non-Jews were walking by and the n the the non-Jews that saw him bowed to the ground and the is crying when he says this says the story starts crying I mean the cried many times when he said stories about maybe that's a whole another discussion but anyway the starts crying when when they said the story. So the person who was with the I forgot who it was or whatever he asked. So the said wait what what was what was the question? I don't know people are bowing to him something asked the question what what is this about the said or whatever like who do you think it's talking about when it says and the saying this and then the says the fact that this story came to us and it was printed means that the gave a every should be in this way that that the gave the feed whatever they gave the that every should should have this concept as as the point is that um that all these ideas always existed but yet the brought it down into the into the to this here and now in the real world that it's our job to reach out to because Mushia is this generation it's not just in he could do the mice that the was like there was a cat from fromb in what was it? Yeah. Well, whatever. What year was it? Whatever. Any whatever. Anyway, one of the years and there's a a and the asked repeated the story many times asked what happened to the cats and said was printed. So he said we needed new. So speaks about this whole this whole topic. But anyway, the point is that from in other words in the in there was there was times in history when the reality of Mashiah wasn't that was and that is in in that is mashiach but was saying Mashiah is that it has to actually transform the physical world and that's that's where where we are and so this this is the generation of Msiah this is the generation the last generation of G first generation of gull so that's why it's the who introduced this whole concept which is a radical change in Jewish history. Never happened before. Um, a it wasn't possible and it wasn't possible because it wasn't the time for it. Now it's a time for it and only the could say that it's the time for only a person that has plates like that sees that knows the essence of reality knows the essence of reality because he is the essence of reality says that of the whole the whole bri the whole whole creation. So only the of of could say when this is a time because it's a it's an unbelievable kite to go and suggest that should go start having influence on the nations of the world and it's a breakkite in many many ways and literally I don't think anybody in the world ever till today feels that they're the they have that authority to make such a decision. It's it's a Reb's decision and it's because it's it's a Reb's tkit. This is Reb's job. This is Reb's tkid and as as the Reb said about the firb that he uh that the kebab could have brought Mashiah himself and decided to have all the join in it. So the same that they said about the could have built himself and he wanted to have all the join and the did this about he could have wrote wrote it himself and he had all the join in the point is that theb wants every that's he gave over the job to every single Jew that it's all of our we theb brought us all in and not only are we part of it but we have to take responsibility for the for the goal. In other words, you could say that uh we have to do what the Reb tells us to do and the you know takes it to the goal makes come but now the the the bottom line the goal is also part of it. We have to know that that that that the job of of of bringing the entire world to Msiah is in our hands and we are given the and uh and it's our job we have to do it sai with bring the the Jewish world and s bring the non-Jewish world and uh yeah one of the integral components of being aim and whether it's or these days give us an opportunity to connect with ourim to connect with each other and be better. What is the story behind each of these days? How did the Reb commemorate and celebrate these days? And most importantly, what are the lessons, the takeaways, and the action items needed for each of these days?

So I don't know if I should bring any shas I don't want to ruin it. No m maybe may maybe we should talk about it. Okay. What does it mean? What does it mean the the of the addition of gula? What? What is what's the question? No, the Reba said it uh the Reba said this many all throughout the nas many many times. Then there's and there's 30 years. How does that fit in with the whole thing? Um well, what what what does it mean a generation? What does gener what does a generation mean? And based on what? Based on who is a generation? the the determined. Okay, good question. So, so a generation a generation mean the generations are determined not uh not by uh not by kul and the generations are determined by by the ni every every generation has every generation I mean who even told us about generations where do we even know about generations from like the world is existing 5,78 you know and and who who told us about generations this whole this whole thing about the seven datas and the whole thing and all this is all created this all was told to us by the I mean even the previous I mean who did they speak in this slashian generations it's from I mean it's based on the on the medish right yeah from the is the one that said that there's seven and who who told us about dus who told us about this whole thing the told us said in the rebound it important that his very first mimer which by the way it's pett I I sometimes I know I know for myself that sometimes the things that are so that we know sometimes the things that like I was actually just now I was sitting with a a teenage boy that uh that that thinks that because of October 7th got very inspired about Yiddish. He's learned his bar mitzvah but as Reb said uh in American culture the bar mitzvah is a graduation from Judaism. So he walked Kog they he you know got this associated and on his own he was inspired to get involved in the Yiddish guide. So last over the last year we became very close. He come he's going to college next year. Anyway, this Jewish boy tell tells me that one of his his regret in life like what bothers him is he wish he would have been raised as a from kid as a kid that had Yiddish in his life the in his life and that's that's one of his regrets his regrets one of the things that you know hurts him. So I told him back I said you know that actually there's a big advantage to being in your place because now you appreciate it. you know, you're a 16 17 year old kid, you appreciate what Yiddish is all about. You appreciate, you appreciate I said there unfortunately sometimes when you're when you're raised in it that it's it's it's hard to appreciate what you have because it's natural comes obvious to you. So I'm saying is I think that sometimes you know the things that we are raised with and we have in our mother's milk we we lose um sensitivity and and appreciation for the godless of it. But one of those things there's many things but I think one of the things that I think I think this I think sometimes we me I'll talk for myself you know we we we we uh forget and and and lose appreciation for what that means and and how revolutionary and how amazing and how uplifting how inspiring all of these things. Um, which is by the way why we're officially meant to dab every day and think about the the godless of the there again and again and again and to reappreciate it to to yeah to to again remember what's going on to realize but anyway one of the things is the fact that the showed up fact that comes the first day of in a little room in 770 with a few hundred people and says the which is I I mean till today is could blow you off you know makes it's unbelievable it's part unbelievable the do that do that do that to do that like pa coming the first day first day there's nothing like I don't want to I want to be careful with my words I mean like how do you like if you think for if you think a regular person a regular leader you know what do you have to show for it like what's like that's it this This is a generation that it's it's all here all now. This is it. Like it's such a it's an unbelievable. Um so anyway, so the deba says in that and so how do we get to basani say? Yeah. Anyway, so how do we get here? How do we get to basani? We're talking about that the that the is the one that that introduced the the concept is the Yeah. So the Reb is the one that that taught us from day one thought it was important to tell us about this whole idea like how many of the knew about this medish I mean officially I think the once the okay but how many people and did he did he go through the medish I don't I don't remember I don't know I'm saying it's I'm saying the of the problem. Okay. Yeah. Anyway, the freed obviously basani brings it but like that that parallel in such a clear way that there's seven generations and this is the dashi and this is the last gen generation and even if the didn't say first of all the did say the term throughout the years a few times but the main thing the said very often was very very often is the last generation of first generation of gula and the said in the put added in that is all you know why are we malus and who decided based on what it's very clear that this that the each is a comes is not just a leader in other is the one who's the t practical technical leader of of that group the rebba is is a no hashem is the is is is hashem's representative here in this generation to give the theme to give the charge of this generation. What's our purpose? Where we headed? Where we going? Where we're coming. Um he he's the he's he's the king. He's the leader. He's the one that's that that leads the charge and tells us where where we're going, where we're headed, what what's the point, where's the purpose, where we start, where we end. And the Reb told us day one the first thing he found important to tell us. They didn't say after 40 years he had so many so many day one there was no there was no there was no anything started from day one saying that there's seven and started from the and it corresponds to the is this generation and and the says that everything that was done from from the to now to the was all for this generation. So even though we're obviously much bigger maybe means there's a concept that told that that he that he's and you're the one that's going to actually do the job to to the purpose of creation which is to bring the busi to bring the back down. So the says this is the tap of the generation. So that tap has still not been completed yet. First of all, the tap was started and not only started but very strongly as the said throughout the years um said education day is is a new schlav in this concept but said mashia is already being pilb said that the the creation of the UN uh started or whatever was built in I forgot the details goes through all the details about the connection between the to the fact that whatever uses that that so the generation is cosman that the issi that's a generation and uh and the the the generation was set clearly by the and told that tapka does not fully materialized the generation continues I mean think that that's that's very that's very very straightforward I mean how how what other way could there be okay what's what's the generation because some but the say the said that even people that that were born before before were born again after I think that everyone is born with the with the with the soap. So uh we we all have the the tat so we're either 123 or 75 and um and uh we see the world from that perspective and um and that's it and it's after so we already have my father always likes to quote what the told Nathano went went to the the he was starting his new career he became a Israeli politician I think he said it on the on the podcast who said my How was that about it? Yeah. So, and said I'm also my in the beginning of my of my career. Yeah. In the beginning of the career. It's after the wrote after said the know what what does that mean? But is in the beginning of the career like and whatever then whatever I think that we could talk about after I personally think that The Reb wanted the ultimate of both. The Reb wanted the ultimate of Gili of of and the ultimate of the Reb wanted the ultimate of and the ultimate the wanted should be both together and that's the ultimate um saying we had both that was trying to do both. I'm afraid we only had one or not. We didn't have enough of the other before. It was the ultimate is galosen. And the wanted that we should be able to pass be able to enjoy and appreciate this gal and at the same time that we should we should bring our with us that we should come as in our and buy in and however much we bought in ultimately we were always on the Reb's uh we were always hanging on the Reb's mak and I I I just think that That's that's the that's I remember as a kid when I used to watch the video and uh my father pointed out to me that that after the tells a second later whatever and I always think to myself like I don't understand if in 770 who screamed the second after the finished and it looks like they're you know shell shocked And the Reb is the Reb himself is made that he tells Alagari seconds later that no one cares and had no impact on anybody. So if then no one cared and basically was like saying there's nobody home now. So now today years later anyone should care. But whatever I think when I got older I think it's it's very understood and and and that's not that's not a question. Yeah. that why were why were they screaming out because the screamed said that basically people don't care about mashia because they care about it they are screaming out now because said to do it so the said we do it of course the tells us to care about mashia did any really care about mashia if car look how many times people on this podcast will say and and there's a truth to that that we didn't need mashia we had the who needed mashia when he had this this And and and then and then comes the weird question. Um I think Rebas also said the Reb is crying about Mashiach and the is like what what Mashiah everything's great and I I think to some degree I I I believe that many of many of us I think myself included I think till today we have a we're making a mistake in this concept. In other words, when you hear people say that we want Mashiah so we can see the Reb again, I think is uh is is a failure, a big failure because obviously you know the screamedness and olive we had the Reb standing there and the Reb was really not happy was not happy with that situation. So, so to to say that we need we want mashia so we could see the reb again against we could be by against I could be against I could bring my children to see the rebba which by the way just now was surfacing around WhatsApp but the rebba said in Zion by in Paris when he went to pick up his mother he told the he said I can't understand why you guys are not going to New York to see the to see the freed so theb said a line he said regarding those who saw the already you're not you're not you're not you're not you don't have you don't you know you don't have to see the and regarding those regarding those who uh who uh who never saw the so like the fact that we need to see the rebba and the fact that our children you know me me and you we both were had the to see the even though we hardly remember but so we need to see the because we need to see the reba for sure and our children need to see the in other words the fact that we have to see the that's not even a Um and and it's it's an unbelievable and especially when we think about our children. Um it's it's the most painful thing that the that our kids don't see the rabba. um you know do a parents care you know that the feeling from parents or their children that's it's one of the most painful things I think to any parent that that their kids don't don't see the um so in other words we that it's not even yet mashiach is not just that first of all we don't need mashia to see the kesh that um that the wrote inf was printed The people ask I say that we're going to see the and theb will take us to first and then this and then that and then and then so how could it be I say that we should see the and then the rebba will take us to so theb says that's of what the but the rebba says of individual ual was already and will be before Mashia. In other words, there's a concept of it's there's been gives a of Yeah. Yeah. In other words, the stories in about it also. Yeah. Yeah. And the Reb quoted there's a concept that throughout Jewish history there were people that that passed away and they and they and they came back to life and has nothing to do with the coming of Mashia do it with that's going to be when Mashiah comes. So the says very clearly that the freed is in that is is going to have an individual and um and and he's gonna come before Mashiah comes before this Mashiach. So um I mean whatever I'm not going to get into details but anyway I think I think so so we don't practically need Mashiach to come to see the that's first of all. So the the bakash that we want to see the is not necessarily connected or intertwined with the coming of and we need to see mashia because we need to see the because it's because it's need to see the reba our children need to see the we need to see the just like it was in or but that's not mashiach mashiach means mashiach means as the rebal the that is in because there's one that is there's no there's one the fact that there's one corner of the world that the is not revealed that causes to be can't handle it and I think you know how many people relate to that I should care that there's there's a corn in the world I'm do I care and even if I go to that that I'm doing it because the Reb wants me to and I know it will give the rebas as someone said in one of the uh Zooms that that was the one of the podcast that was the the the competition to get the Reb to smile in other words so yeah to get the to smile is a it's a very of thing but ultimately it wasn't because we bought into what the is trying to accomplish it's because we love the so much and we were so and the the greatest thing we could have done is to give the rebas that's not a bad thing. It's a very good thing. But did we buy into the do you like, in other words, do you like are you in love with what the Reb is in love with? The fact that wants in every single corner of the world, are you into that or you just into that because you love the Reb and the Reb is into that. And when the Reb is saying that we we say because you don't really care about Mashia, you care because the Reb said to care. You don't even care. You're saying the Reb said the said to put on put on film. The reb I saw the Reb speaks about um about how when you deal with another Yid when you reach out to another Yid and the Reb says um that you should that uh that you that the Yid should that in order to have influence another Yid has to be and the Yid the Jew that you're trying to influence to the Yiddish whatever feels from you if you mean it or not, if you care for the person or not. Do you love do you love me? When you come and tell me to put on fill and to learn to light candles, do you care for me or not? And based on how much you care for that person, that's how much influence you'll have on that person. Then the said what's the problem? You're doing I don't care about the guy I'm talking to. I'm doing what the Reb said. So the Reb said the fact of the matter is people could feel people sense if you're just doing it because you're doing it because you're told to do it or you're doing because you really care about the person. Then the says uh the said if we would really be mush and we really really in other words I I don't remember if the said spelled it out or not but the concept in other words if you're really really musher even if you don't care about the other Jew if if you if the is if the becomes your like so then you're totally you have no your your own so then when you go speak to just beside your will the love to him in other words if you're really bought for the in a real emiss away in a real way then when you talk to another Jew the Jew should feel from you the love fact of the matter is most of us are not on that level so all the big we say we're only doing it because we care about the says you're not such a big so therefore when you go to theid and you stop on the street or you try to get into your and the only reason why you're telling it to him is because the reb told you to do it and yourself your own feelings you don't give you don't give that that much about that Jew He feels it and the and and the influ and the response is in in kind he's not interested. So therefore the says because most of us are not real are not really ble therefore in order to influence another theid has to feel that we really love them really care for him. So in other words, I think the same about Mashiach, you have to that for Mashiach that when the Reb says means you're you're you can't handle it. You can't you're asking you want it to end. And that means is that you have to really you have to buy in just like the screams that we have to to some degree really care for this. Um and I think that's what the reb and that that was the Reb's um frustration and uh and and I think it was very hard for for experiencing the Reb said many times that by the didn't exist when you were in the presence you didn't feel the when you were in the Reb's presence when you were in around the you didn't feel the you didn't feel the need for Mashiah it's it's it's not these are not fake things are real. This is real things and yet the is not the is not when you're on the level it's not the is not happy with that wants to take this in other said in that as soon as you walk as soon as you go over the as soon as you go over the how do you say in English the doorpost the doorpost of the it's missing in the bias of the so anywhere That's not mayor the is in how it is in his room and the reb that's not that's already and we have to make in other words like the said the the goal is to make every piece of this earth the's room that every piece of this earth should be in 770 should be the md should be and there's a that really talks to me about this con I feel like sometimes you know do I care about there's a from zan like a famous um trim people is very famous because the Reb spoke then about the the story of the swarm court case then very you say the sticky things about it the also said a very powerful about um which actually was since October 7th was translated by it and was inspired that whole towards the end of that um which obviously everyone should watch that it's a very powerful if you didn't see it yet um regarding our our situation today and do whatever anyway but at the end of the says why am I screaming like who what's the point who in other words who's listening and who's who's is this accomplishing anything gives three answers says first of all because that's first of all it hurts when it hurts it hurts it hurts he's screaming second of all the said you see Jewish blood being spilled, you have to you have to do something about it. You can't just stand stand there idly and do nothing. I think for each one of us when we hear the yen are being killed and in the streets in Israel has to make we have to scream what what's going on over here. Um and third of all the Reb said every we all are we all of was he dreamed and he dreamed and he and he sat in jail and what happened at the end that he became the the this the prime minister or whatever he became the second in command to Egypt which was the was was the superpower of the world at that time and he came to a point that no one was able to lift a hand or a foot without Y without without listening to YF. In other words, Ju dreamed and dreamed and la became the king. Basically he he took over and the Reb said every if it wouldn't be for being you would never be able to handle the of you never able to handle these says smiles that they're saying basically I don't have a dream there will come a time that I don't remember don't quote me I'm saying a was wrong but I don't believe that I'm not I don't such a dream that there'll come a time that no one will lift a hand or a foot without asking by me such a dream and there laughs I don't have but like that that I hope my dream basically what is my dream that everything I'm saying will bring that there'll be additional protection because of what I'm screaming now my dream is that it'll actually have an influence and Jews will be more safe in Israel But to me what I took from that was when I saw from the first time and every time I see it the fact that like I don't have such a dream like in other words such a wild dream that no one will do anything without lifting their hand on their foot even such a dream I don't have I felt that that that's that's our dream that's that's what dream at least that's my dream that became my dream of uh the messianic era that uh that that a hunter. I mean you have to let's go back to without was was came to that that is that is the vision of Mashiach that so in other words how for for for people that have that have a hard time taking of and and and and uh caring about it that much uh because we're because you know we we like and other things. So I think that that the vision that in other words that if you're a realb if you really love theba you really care for the rebba how could you suffice with the fact that you need to see the rebba with you need your children to see the rebba how how could you sit how could you be and I think that's I think that's what bothers the rebba also I mean that's screaming in other words there's a speech that that is spoke to which many people were upset about um in he says everyone's all happy said where's all the millions of Jews wants millions of Jews to be here wants all of the yidden to be whole all of humanity in other words wants something a lot bigger than this so in other words and and he says he says you know that's not why Again, I'm not getting into justifying that speech or not just but there's a certain truth whether whether or not that speech was good or not. There's a certain truth to to what he's what he's saying. In other words, it we have to lose sleep that the Reb is losing sleep over Mashiach and we weren't there's a video of the dancing of after Zion. So, so Tuesday Shabas spoke very strongly about Mashiah, very very strong gave about to come to gave it to the Reb when the Reb was on the way out. Yeah. So there's videos of the dancing of Shabas after that. So all the dancing is till till then was that night there was a lot of you have guys you know jumping up and down so someone grabs the mic and uh I don't know whatever someone grabs a mic and says says uh he says he said Again, I don't know who it is, but I think the vert was very true. Everyone's screaming at makinik. You're with big smiles on your face screaming m there's only one person that's Yeah. The only person here in this room in this movement that cares about Mashiah is right now. Um, in other words, and and like again, I'm not putting down anyone that was dancing, hey, and I'm not saying I think would do anything different, but I but there's a certain here that wanted the worldb wanted to take over the world. The wanted should happen and were happy. We were content with the fact that we had a place and we had a place by and we had it was about us. That's a beautiful thing. It's a high level and and but but it's but it's yes at the end of the day it's yes we weren't fully and and this is all to say that I think today unfortunately that's the only way that in other words I'm afraid happened was to win the war and one of the years theb said that to revealed life in other words that the melik really passes away. He throws away his in order to get the soak that the winning the war is so ingrained in the essence of the king that his revealed life is less worth it than that that the only way that if that it's up to us and we had a hard time stomaching that at the moment obviously I mean we're we're standing in the aftermath right it's 30 it's almost 31 years later that basically now is the time there's no more there's no there's there's no short in other words we can't anymore um in other words we can't we can't say oh you know we have mashia already so we we have to like have need kabala sale from mashia we have to basically realize that we have to buy into the to the reb's mission we have to buy in and really believe in mashiach and care about mashiach and care about what mashiach means uh and what it means to us and what it means to the world and be dedicated to that not just because we want our life to be better. Not just physically, but spiritually. Not just because we want to see the Reba, not just because we want our kids to see the Reb. That's that's a very valid important existential need for us. But in addition, we have to buy into the Reb's mission into the idea of that there should be not one that's not with that's not that's not with with that's not aware of the Reb that doesn't know about the Reb that doesn't that's not following the Reb's teachings that's not learning the Reb's that and and and and it's not it's we're not talking dreams are this are reality president the president of of of of Argentina. A nonju just showed up to Moses gift to the prime minister of Israel, a picture of the prime minister with the Reb and the prime minister of Israel makes a speech in the Knesset that he went into the private home of the president of Argentina and what was on the wall, a picture of the Reba and then the the speaker of the Knesset quotes in his speech in honor of the president of Argentina. And the president of Israel speaks about the Reb in honor in honor of the president of Argentina. And then the next hours after the the president Arino Argentina leaves Israel which the prime minister of Israel tell him that the Reb is a prophet minutes later starts the war in Iran. Where was the president of United States who right now is talking about getting involved in in the war in Iran? He went to the Reb for Abra when he when he ran when he went ran we went when he was running for elections. The point basically is is that the reba is is um we talked about what the rebba said in a natural way mashia coming that uh that one person will have an influence on all the nations of the world. I mean that it's happening in front of our very eyes and years after Gimlas what does it mean where why doesn't President Kavier ask uh is it now uh what what does it mean but the Reb said the last generation of GS I I didn't hear that he asked that question and I and I actually heard Rabbi Greenblat said that uh heard from his aid has a connection to President that every day he looks at the Reb's picture for 15 minutes and he's m he's he meditates So, President and we're talking about presidents. I know people by me, non-Jews by me that that's that touched the debt and a week later they became the biggest actually I'm right I was talking in the beginning I'm starting in a few weeks a a a 12 episode podcast the import very very uh important organization in town dedicated to the Reb's letters only dedicated to the Reb's letters from the book uh letters for life and this was not my idea this wasn't something I pulled off this was something that she wanted someone that's not Jewish English, a leader of a very important organization, prominent organization, and she was so inspired by the Debb's letters that she feels that she this this going to be a new podcast. Um so the it's it's it's um the concept of Lebanon yab is that next to the ocean it's it's dry as us I think and uh it's p it's it's a sh it's like the world there's no one in the world that sees it this way besides I think some of us and I think each one I'm not talking I'm not pointing fingers at anybody I'm pointing fingers at myself I think um you know we have to we have to push it realize And I think um your brother-in-law mentioned on a podcast that that he the many you know that he helps very often a lot of them is is part missing in in in confidence self-confidence who they are and what they represent. I I I I really I believe that I know for myself. I mean you look at the first of the from the Yudskunic uh you know my grandfather whatever other people I mean these guys were from day one you look at the mosquitoes they went with such a great with such confidence why because when you when you were when you were in the Reb's presence the Reb lift the Reb picked you up you are the king of the world you presented There was nothing there was nothing more. And so today you need so we have to sit down if you're or if you're that's really every to think about who the is who who do we stand for? What's the guide? What's the what's the and what's the of our generation? Who is he? What does he stand for? What what does he represent? And I was chosen. I just saw someone posted a said how from all the billion people the chose a few people and gave them his out of all the billions of people the chose us and made us and made made us inv takes each one of us and chooses each one of us and says your job and your mission in this world is to bring the ultimate purpose of creation into this world And it's not in Russia you have to believe is concept of we see it happening in front of our eyes the the world is changing as we speak presidents and leaders of the world are coming to these things didn't happen 40 35 years ago when we saw the life was nice and dandy in in labav standards years after 31 years later's influence is you think has pressure to be anyone's convincing Kavier anyone told Kavier he's going to be he's going to be avance or not be a musher if he's not going to come to the oil someone told that to Trump I mean what do you think they have a they have a peer pressure they have Jewish mom's guilt they have a they have a mashia telling them they're not going to be cool enough I mean what what do you think is happening here and what about all the what about all the mounted areas today the mount of Eden that are that are connecting to I speak to them I I speak to them clear I I speak I ask them. But I asked them very questions I don't want to say over here about things that I would think that would deter them from coming to and not the famous things that many people think. The things that bother a lot of the from is not the things that may people may think and I asked them why why and you hear from them you hear why they're coming they're coming for the they have no pressure they have no peer pressure to be they have pressure not to be so we see how the world is changing in front of our eyes and the fact that the you know what does it mean that the in other But you needed maybe you needed amal 31 years ago maybe you needed faith needed to believe needed today who needs amuna I I don't I don't need any am whatsoever that theb is alive and the rebba is with us and the rebba not only is with us like he was then but he's and It's not so many times we love the the you know the that makes no the is alive and that's why said once but we see it it's not that the that we're making we're making it live on the is making it live and that's why we're we're alive and that's why we're able to go and touch other people anyway it's it's it's it's so it's so simple it's It's it's uh we have to just go out of our little uh labav box out of our little uh uh and break out of our our goals our goal break out of our learn the and connect to theb and see the from theb's glasses which I think is another thing I I uh I think that um but I think one of the things that I feel sometimes that is missing by many people. Um I again I want to take that back. I don't not many people I think sometimes it could be missing by some is uh is is is the fabian s watching it s listening to it s learning the and I think um and I think the reason why sometimes it's overlooked is because you know before you the start and you joined or you listened to the hookup or if after you weren't in town you read the but what did you learn what was the you learned you learned the liquid of that But uh today when theans are not like that right we have to make an effort to learn the or to listen or to watch the and let let's face it was was a was was a uh is is um is officially with the mind of the so there's a certain style of how theb wants to be done that it should be appropriate for Yeah. So it's 100% theb million% theb put invested in but if you want to experience theb teaching you the inspiring youba talks unfiltered unaltered direct fresh straight you have to experience the you have to there's a way how the rebba speaks there's a style the rebba teaches and I I that's what I think I think when you go through abran the first two the three the whatever the whole the whole thing you go through the entire and you do it week after week after week consist in a consistent basis theb teaches you pasha takes you by the hand like a teacher and teaches you how to think how to look at things how to see things how to view things the clarity that you get from from the from the sidetrack things from the the musg from they have a style the Reb's cook to you start seeing the world from the Reb's glasses. You see the Reb's world the world from the Reb's glasses and anything you learn from the Reb's I thinks very much from the whole from beginning to the end all the different all the the Reb gives you how he thinks the Reb he's he puts himself in a hea teaches you and he uplifts you and when you learn and I mean I know for myself I'm uplifted I probably feel like I'm walking in a different world that the the Reb just picked me up and brought him brought him into his world and when you're on the Reb's world all of a sudden there's no all of a sudden there's no hakbas there's there's nothing could stand in the way of the I mean just you know some weak sometimes people used to like think make make jokes of the people that are learn the of or listen to the of it's as if it's like oh you're into the politics you're into the the action I think I think the once said something like that there's those that only wake up yeah Yeah. And I think they say the was the to put those in the back, not to put it in the regular. Bottom line is the spent a lot a lot of time talking about those these topics and I could say for myself the amount of and the amount of um that I got from hearing the scream I mean you you can't hear those words and it doesn't get into your like you like you p you p for forever screams When you hear those we hear the say that you you start believing and living that the entire world is really totally in a that the whole world like I mean what the whole testing takes from from and makes us like the whole world is going to plot the whole world will go this way or go that way Boom. Like that. That's you say that you say no the entire world not just the world Israeli policy the good America with you Washington that's the beginning and the middle such a concept comes from only from first of all it could only come from a person that really really believes in the really really believes in and really believes that every single movement of this world is in in in the made the world the pin is anyway the only way we could see ourselves live first of all personally as aid as aid in our personal lives to keep to to to be on to believe in the to believe in to believe in mitzvah to be and to bring this out to the world to go to the world and influence other Jews influence non-Jews and make them closer to we have to we have to we have to see that the reality of the world is the reality of the world is And this you get from theb and we get it from theb but I really think that from thebins there's no of there's no of but but theb does over there it's something that that I I don't I think that the to that that should be you know people people love it nowadays the talking point is the Jewish pride Jewish pride what Jewish pride That's Jewish pride. That's what that's what real Jewish pride means. Not the nonsense that that we see from some certain organizations. Jewish pride means that the and that's that's Jewish pride. So yeah. Anyway, and that comes to mashia and comes to all the is uh and um yeah. So we need we need to listen to that. We need we uh need to strengthen ourel in the learning the Reb's and to listen to and to learn the Rebans and um and to really start uh taking on if the Reb says to really start believing in the Reb's cause to really start believing in in the Reb's mission and that and that and I think I think go turning back to I think that this is something that is one of the ways how that the Reb that they to me at least Mashiach the fact that has Msiah has take over the whole world right Mashiah is going to be physically a melik that the whole entire world will be publicly will be and and I think one of those ways that that that's a big to that and again back to about confidence some I speak to I speak to friends of mine that are you know 30 years ago each one goes to a place of thousands of Jews and whatever and that's small places a small place have 6,000 Jews a small place but today are going to places of mish hundreds of 100 yd and 200 300 mish very very small places and sometimes and I know for myself we could feel like we could feel I mean lonely forget about it but like you know bored what do we do you know and and when we already do something only a few people show up and uh and we feel like we're doing nothing what I what I learned for myself and I and I to my is that we should stop looking at ourselves that way we're not here to deal with just a few hundred Jews and if the few hundred Jews don't show up I mean first of all that itself is the but it's more than that we are the ambassador to this city. The city has 10,000 20,000 50,000 100,000 whatever this area has. Each person that's in this place is to reach out to them. You are the representative of of of gadlkite to make sure that these people are going to be ready for mashia which is through making sure that all those kids have in their school's moment of silence which is making sure that every one of those kids have a pushka which is making sure that all those kids uh celebrate their birthday and not just kids all people um which is makeul so all of a sudden the the the the job is endless and said the resources are endless you don't have to ask the five and a half balabat Jewish balabatan to give to to give money to kabad all of a sudden what do you mean if I'm if I'm if I'm influencing thousands of children to to have a moment of silence who should be paying for that you know so so and then the said by deal dealing with will be financially beneficial for for the for yen so um all of a sudden your whole perspective changes your whole horizon changes you're from to this area you represent there's nothing you're the most important person in town you're the most dignified person in town. You're the most busiest person, the most most of a person in town. And and again, it's not about you. It's not about building up your own ego. The more it's about you, the the worse you do. The more it's about ourselves, then the worse the worse of a job we'll do. The more we master what we represent. But we have a recognition and we have we realize that we represent we represent the we represent the to be the of this generation and we represent him and it's not about you. Then then there's nothing that could stop you. Then then you have you have infinite you have in infinite capabilities you have infinite talents you have infinite infinite possibilities and there's no door that should be closed for you and even when a door is closed for you it's only you know that's temporary and when you have that perspective then uh you don't you don't get turned down so badly you don't get uh defeated so much and a no is not so so uh so hard to handle and uh whatever so it's going to happen the is going to gonna just like just like till now there there are things that the is working on And the Reb was still working on its is one of the things screamed about for years. The Reb deterred was screaming for years a Israel did what the Reb wanted. No. And October 7th happened. The Reb was screaming for years to prevent to October 7th and it happened. But the Reb is told is and Reb is going to and the Reb screamed by it's going to it's going to prevail. It took this long but it's going to succeed. The Reb has timebas. It's going to happen one way or another. It's going to work. it's going to happen. So um so therefore and the same thing in our own this doesn't work that doesn't work it's going to it's going to it's going to prevail and uh and why is it going to prevail not because you're very powerful you're very smart you're very t talented or because you know no because because you represent the truth you represent the emis and the will always always will always be okay so we should buy in yeah we should buy in the and we to see the before and we should be able to see the Reb physically and we should be able to see that should be in the sky and the entire world should be and [Music] God. Amen. All right. [Music]
