what we're going to study together we
started this PK last week second PK of
chapter
91 I will say on God's
behalf God is my protector he's my
Fortress Le of Bo my God I will trust in
him and before we read the M here I'd
like to actually read through the entire
chapter of Sadi Al of tahim because it's
an incredible message for us in this
moment we're facing excuse me there are
some bugs here we're facing off
with existential
fears existential threats is here in is
and many wish to destroy us throughout
the world whether it's politically or
whether it's
physically so we need to learn this
together let's take a look at this per
of we say it a lot we say it by uh on we
say we say it
in we'll see there's more than one
explanation of what this PK means
but Yos the one who dwells upon High
in in the shade of Hashem finds their
rest Isel we try to live in the shadow
of hem and we'll see what that means
under God's
wings as we said we speak on behalf of
God and say that God is our protector
our Fortress God I'll trust in
you God will save you
from from the traps from being snared
from plagues from from being
broken right Israel the whole entire
world has experienced this over the last
few years plagues destruction
Wars under God's Wing he will he will
act as a canopy over
you you'll be covered and taken care of
by his
Wings God is like a suit of armor he's
like a
shield his truth is like that when we
attach ourselves to the toy when we
attach ourselves to hm's
truth so God is our
Shield don't be afraid of fears of night
don't be afraid of the missiles shooting
at you in the in the day
Hashem protects you from the plagues
that come in the night from the
destruction and those who would come to
steal in the
afternoon a thousand will fall by your
side and 10,000 by your right side they
won't come near
you all those missiles ballistic drones
Etc they won't come near you
Hashem will look at you we'll look at
your eyes which means our eyes are
looking up to him and Hashem is looking
down to
us and you'll see the destruction the
payment to your enemies for their
evil you are you Hashem are the one upon
whom I
relied I trusted in you and I knew that
your uppermost place is where I could
feel
safe No Evil will befall
you no no no plague no wound will come
into your
tent how is HEM going to do
this will command his his angels to
protect you in all of your
paths they will carry you with their
palms
P your feet won't even trip over stones
or be affected by Stones they won't be
hurt you'll be able to trample over the
Lions and the snakes
to it's double language you'll be able
to
destroy all of those that are analogous
to to lies and
snakes
says as a word speaking on behalf of God
and says like
this because you desired me Hashem says
therefore I saved
you I'll bring about prosperity in your
life because you know my
name hem says you call out to me I will
answer
you I'm with you in your
pain I will get you out of there I'll
I'll bring you to safety I'll bring you
honor
hasm says I promise what I'm going to do
for you it's going to give you a long
life I'll give you satisfaction and you
will see my
salvation that's the par can him now
after we read that we could stop because
it's unbelievable the beautiful words of
but let's study it a little bit together
the
brings that there's a few different Lev
lels here of relationship
with it's very interesting he says that
you can have the Exile continuing for
part of the nation of of the people of
Israel for
Amel we have part of am Isel is still in
Gus still in Exile part ofel is here in
Isel and even those who are here in Isel
have also
experienced difficulties and challenges
that are definitely akin to what goes on
in Exile
oppression our enemies hating us causing
us
damage but that's what Exile looks like
and Exile will
take will will have that effect on
people in or many people
inel because generally speaking the the
am as a whole is not fitting to be
redeemed in other words the reason that
we continue to be in Exile the reason
that that we're there or the reason that
we experience oppression is because we
don't deserve to be redeemed we're not
on the
level and that's also why if a person
comes to Isel a person has to go through
challenges you have to be on the level
it's not an easy thing to do it's not an
easy thing to maintain that spiritual
level
but each says says
the even though generally it may be true
that there are many people who are still
in Exile but there are individuals who
do not experience the Exile they don't
experience the oppression and the
difficulties of Exile why because
they're sadikin because they're
righteous and they have extra special
divine
intervention and by the way you're going
to see that we're amongst those
there's three or four levels says the of
what it is and based on the level so how
much that person does not have to
experience the difficulties of
Exile the first level is the beginning
of the chapter of which we read together
which is somebody who is sitting hidden
nestled into the wings of Hashem that
means I'm protected by Hashem
what does that look
like this is the level of people who
believe in the Torah and who keep the
Commandments amongst the people of
Israel so that's all of us we're called
sikim we're in the level of we're
nestling into the wings of Hashem we are
doing hashem's will we're trying our
best to do God's will we are trying to
to fulfill the Mitzvah to learn the T
trying to live a life of connection to
hem that's what a is in the first
level and here's where we come to our
discussions together the second level is
a righteous individual who keeps the who
has a relationship with hem who trusts
in this is the second
level it's our our is the second level
of somebody who is recognizing and
placing God to be his Trust
saying I want to be in God's protection
I want to be in his
place and the third level is somebody
who loves hem and desires hem I just
want to be close to God I just want to
have a relationship with hem
Hashem says to this person you desired
me therefore I am going to bring you
awesome
salvation I'm going to bring you
Prosperity cuz you know my
name you call out to me and I will
answer him he calls out to me and I'll
answer
him and he says remember he just said
that there's three or four levels so he
says that the third level could be one
who desires Hashem and then there's an
even higher level of one who's y one who
knows hashem's name one who has an
intimate relationship with Hashem one
who knows one who can align himself
completely with hashem's Will and is
living in that space so when a person
gets into that space no matter what he
gets answered all of his needs are taken
care of he's not afraid of oppressor
he's not afraid of anything and I think
you know what we've seen over the last
year and a half so much so much even to
the very mouth of the Prime Minister of
Israel as you as I've mentioned numerous
times in every
speech with God's help together we will
be
successful we will be
victorious we're going to see that there
are different levels of War different
levels of
war and we'll see that some
Wars look like the war that we're going
through now
but before we get there there's
a which says something very famous and
very
important a person's sense I'm adding
the word sense a person's sense of God's
divine presence Divine
Providence changes depending on my level
of if I have a deeper level of faith in
Hashem so then I start to see Hashem in
my life
more says when I say on behalf of hasem
that you are my
protector Hashem will save
me when I say on behalf of God he will
save me that saves
me
beautiful which means
to save the root of the word yat
means it means
Shadow right what is the idea of the
Shadow the famous Med that everyone
quotes and it's a little hard to
finda points out but the measure says as
quoted by many God is the shade of your
right hand what does that
mean you put your hand in the Sun so the
sun is blocked and you see a shadow of
your
hand if you move your hand around in the
Sun so then you'll see I'm looking at it
you guys can't see it but I see the
movement of the of the hand in the
shadow based on the movement of my hand
my physical
hand that's how how it is in our
relationship with the way that we move
our hand is how hasem responds to
us if we show that we trust
him if we open our hands to receive if
that's what it looks like in the
shade
responds saves me is the savior is is
the one who
brings the salvation but it's also
Hashem is your he is your shade he
responds to US based on how much we
trust
him as a says Beautiful the song of
songs relationship between and I am to
my beloved and my beloved is to me if I
interact with a with love and with with
Desire with trust
hasem responds in kind
brings from
the now listen to this because this this
is you know blows your mind there's two
types of
War one is a very simple kind of War One
Nation against
another Vash but the second war which is
the kind of war that we're experiencing
right now or that we experienced on
October 7th
hasem sometimes sends a war so that our
hearts will be
strengthened to trust in
him when they see that it seems hopeless
when it seems like how could such a
thing happen how could there be such an
awesome
failure some wants us to trust in him
says I say on hash's behalf that he is
my Fortress he is my shield he is my
savior I will trust in him my God I will
trust what does it mean I will have it I
trusted but according to what we're
saying it comes out very
good the understanding of the p
is he Mar
when this war comes upon me so I feel
inside of myself that God is my
protector the purpose of the war the
very purpose of the war is so that I
should trust in him it's a
result I will trust in him
because of this war that makes me feel
like I can't do it by myself I need your
help
my that's the PK says we say it in in
Hal all of the nations are surrounding
these seven seven
fronts and what I will mention the name
of Hashem I will speak the name of
Hashem it doesn't say I spoke or I'm
speaking it says I will speak the name
of hem
in order for me to have Victory I'm
going to say this
bem I will say this because I recognize
at the beginning of the war that it's
something that's meant to wake me up to
return to my relationship with
him if not for the fact that God wanted
to save us there wouldn't be this war
you hear this if not for the fact that
hasem want to same as there wouldn't be
this
war this is what it means in
the thank you God for bringing upon me
trials and
tribulations because you wanted to save
me from
them the purpose of the difficulty was
that I should be
saved beautiful Kad slavy now he brings
him a sa
called he says something amazing and so
deep and important for us to
know
ABA this PK is teaching us about an
incredible Secret The Secret of God's
protection of all of his creation
everybody needs to know and
believe whether we're talking about a
Jew we're talking about a
non-jew every creation of
God they're under the constant and
personal care of Hashem of God
[Music]
what does it mean in the P when it says
God who dwells on high or the human
being who Nestles under his
wings I'm I'm trusting in Him I'm making
him my
protector
aaba what is the real
protector who is the one protecting us
who gave the idea of the Iron Dome who
gave us the the power to fight our
enemies to protect ourselves from our
enemies
the David's Arrow
Etc David's sling whatever it's
called the protection the which of the
root is which means shade it's in the
shade of hem that I find my true
protection is only in God's
shade this is what we say every day in
in the in the shade of your
wings let us
hide you are a God who protects you

in the existence of all of creation is
only it's only possible because
