this video goes out to all of our
Christian friends out there from the
Jewish people as you can imagine right
now with the situation what's going on
in Israel after the horrific attacks on
October 7th and after you see all these
parades going on of Celebration from
Hamas supporters you could imagine how
the Jewish people feel not so supported
right now but I got to tell you our
Christian friends have been so amazing
so loving so embracing so supportive and
really our people have always shared a
common value system known as the
judeo-christian values and there's a
reason why that has been a saying and a
phrase for so long is because we do
share so many commonalities amongst each
other and I want to share with you um in
this class today and please stay until
the end because a whole bunch of
blessings are coming your way and I want
you to know about all of them and how to
get get them and how to receive them and
why you're getting them and uh we're
going to explore today from the Torah
from the Old Testament we're going to be
reading in Hebrew a little bit today I'm
going to be reading in Hebrew and
translating for you so you can know
exactly uh what is going on behind the
scenes in heaven and uh and exactly you
know how we could benefit from this
whole thing so let's just jump right
into it um I want to also just mention
that there's a concept in Judaism which
is called living with the times so we
take the Torah again also known as the
Old Testament the Bible and we split the
Torah up into each week has its own
what's called paraa which is the chapter
for that week and this week we're
learning paraa it's called it's in the
book of uh Genesis and it is the first
time where we're being introduced to the
uh first Jewish person in the world
which is Abraham in Hebrew Abraham and
he is the person who brought monotheist
is m to the world all the great
religions of the world are all based on
the work that Abraham did and we see
something very unique in this week's
para it says and I'm going to again I'm
going to read the
Hebrew and Hashem God says to Abraham
I'm going to make you into a great
nation and I'm going to bless
you I'm going to make your name great in
this
world and you will become a blessing to
all the nations and here's where it gets
interesting for our Christian Friends by
the way it doesn't just apply to
Christians it really applies to anybody
um right now unfortunately it looks like
most of the Muslim world I say most cuz
not all but most of them are absolutely
blinded with this concept of wiping um
the my people off the face of the Earth
with the this whole free Palestine uh
nonsense and it looks like they are in
the Heat of the Moment and blind it and
they just can't understand this so for
now I'm talking to our Christian friends
hopefully eventually the Muslims will
come around and hopefully everybody else
will come around but for now I'm talking
to you okay so it
says God says to Abraham I will bless
those who bless you and the ones who
curse you I will curse and all the
families of the earth will be blessed
through you and that's really what I
want to focus on in today's class is
Hashem says God says to the Hashem is
the Hebrew word for God's name um it
literally means the name God says to
Abraham I will bless the Nations anybody
who blesses you I will bless and anybody
who curses you I will curse we're going
to talk about the blessings in just a
moment but let's talk about the cursing
for one second okay because we have to
go there I know you know everybody wants
to be Kumbaya and everything you know is
is liberal and everybody's friends and
everything but let's just talk for a
second about the
curses if you look
at history of the
world anybody who ever and cursed the
Jews ended up going down in history as a
villain starting with the ancient
Egyptians going to the ancient
Greeks the ancient Romans all the way up
until Nazi Germany which by the way I I
want to give in this class I want to
give a shout out to Germany because I
got to tell you that Germany is standing
by the Jewish people right now in the
land of Israel so incredibly I don't
think anybody would have ever imagined
the support could you imagine a people
Germans you know in Judaism we believe
that a person could do in Hebrew what
called Tesa which means they could
repent they could return and the Germans
75 years
ago they perpetrated some of the
greatest atrocities known to men but you
see that they have collectively as a
society they have become better they
have grown they are maturing and they
have decided to do what they can in
order to write their wrongs and although
many of my family died in the Holocaust
was killed in the Holocaust I will tell
you as a Jew I wholeheartedly forgive
them because we in Judaism we don't look
at people's past sins but we look at
where are they standing today where are
they holding today are they holding in a
place where they're trying to do better
where they're trying to amarate
themselves and the answer for Germany
happens to be yes but in terms of the
curse is you know it I mean while we're
on the subject in Germany the leader of
Germany I don't even want to say his
name but the leader of Germany at the
time of the Holocaust he was hailed as a
hero you have to understand that this
man had a vision to make Germany great
and he was hailed as a as somebody with
a great idealistic approach to the world
and he was going to rid the world of
their biggest problem which was the Jew
and you see 75 years later it didn't
take even that long when anybody is ever
trying to call out something wrong they
automatically called them a Nazi why
because he cursed the Jews and
ultimately he went down in history as an
absolute evil person anybody throughout
history who has ever been labeled who
ever tried to curse the Jews go against
the Jews destroy them whatever it was in
history ended up going down as a villain
and ultimately what we'll see from this
whole nightmare that we're going through
is anybody who supports the
Palestinians and the and
Hamas by the way you should know Jews
also want to free Palestine we want to
free it from Hamas but anybody who
supports Hamas right now and supports
the murder of innocent children
babies they will eventually go down as
villains give it a day give it a week
give it a month give it a year give it a
decade give it a generation but when it
goes down in history books they will not
go down as Freedom Fighters they're
going to go down as barbaric villains
that they are so you see that anybody
who ever tried to rise up against the
Jews ultimately ended up becoming cursed
why is it because the Jews are smarter
than anybody else are because they're
stronger than stronger than anybody else
more numerous than anybody else no none
of the above it's because it is written
in the Bible it's because God said so
just like God created the world he said
let there be light and there was light
he said let there be animals Let There
Be humans let there be all these things
just like God created those things God
also created within the algorithm of the
universe you curse the Jews you become
cursed but that's enough for the
cursings for now let's talk about the
blessings that people will receive
Nations people individual people and
also Nations will receive from blessing
the Jewish
people it doesn't take a genius to
understand
that when you take care of another
person's
child that he will show you favor I mean
I'm sure I'm sure a lot of you right now
are parents that are watching this and
you ever pick up your child
from one of your friend's houses or
imagine even better imagine one of your
neighbors saved your child from a
burning
house imagine how much appreciation you
would have for your neighbor when he
brought your child out of that house and
he saved your child from immediate
harm how
much joy how much blessing you would
have for that other person how much good
you would want to do for your neighbor
for saving your
child Jews are hashem's child are God's
child Abraham had two
children he had
Isaac and he had Jacob sorry he
originally had Isaac Jacob comes later
and Isaac is the one who carries
God's Divine Mission into this world so
the family line of Abraham goes through
Isaac right it could have gone
through asov his
brother but it comes through Isaac and
when you take care of gods for whatever
reason you know sometimes we ask Jews
say can God choose somebody else for
once meaning we didn't we didn't choose
to be chosen we didn't ask to be chosen
it's not our choice for whatever reason
God chose Isaac to carry on his Divine
mission in this world so when we when
you bless the progeny of Abraham Isaac
and Jacob God appreciates that so much
when you're saving his children when you
are blessing his children in
turn God will ultimately bless you it
doesn't take a rocket scientist to
figure that out it's
it's math you take care of my children
I'll take care of you and that's the
message that I want to give to our
Christian friends who might be watching
this right now or anybody else for that
matter that we we see you we appreciate
you we embrace you and not only do we
see you but God himself sees your
efforts God himself sees your blessings
and ultimately he will bless you and a
lot of lot of people have been asking me
you know am I scared I'm been scared I'm
an orthodox visibly Jewish man and
people ask me am I scared am I scared
for Israel am I scared for the God
forbid for the annihilation of our
people and I got to tell you there an
the answer is absolutely 0% am I scared
because God at the end of the day is
more powerful than any stupid protest
God is stronger than any of the
anti-Semitism that is rising right now
God ultimately has a mission in this
world a Divine Mission and God's Mission
will be seen until the end and they say
that in the end it will be good and if
it's not good it means that it's not the
end so no we're not scared are we shaken
100% we're
shaken are we fragile right now are we
in mourning 100% are we scared at the
end of the day we are believers sons of
Believers and our faith holds us and we
know ultimately that good wins over bad
light wins over dark every single time
we've seen it playing out we've Seena
played out hundreds of time over Jewish
history and ultimately the ones that
cited and supported the Jewish people
they themselves in turn got blessed by
the creator of the universe themselves
so I want to thank you for that also I
want to just throw this out there that
I'm open to speak to any religious
congregation any Christian congregation
I'm happy to do it via Zoom I'm happy to
do it via Instagram or whatever it is
and I will do it free of charge
to give strength to give hope to to
create understanding and education and
ultimately uh do what we all want which
is to see the Third Temple built in
Jerusalem where we could all serve God
as one people where there's not going to
be any more war there's not going to be
any more hunger there's not going to be
any more strife and godliness will be
revealed in this world with the coming
of the Messiah of the Messiah God bless
you thank you for being a friend thank
you for being our family and uh we hope
to hear good news soon God bless take
care
