Rabbi welcome hello Rabbi let's just
jump right into it everybody's ready
everybody wants to hear your message
everybody's ready for positivity there's
people I was in people's houses today
people are scared people are nervous
people are petrified there's mothers
talking about not sending their children
to school tomorrow there's my brother
asked me today he said my brother said
me are you scared to go to synagogue
tomorrow
and I said to him I'm scared not to go
to synagogue tomorrow so RAB should
mothers be afraid to send their children
to school
tomorrow I'm a parent myself I'm a
grandparent I love my children I love my
grandchildren I just want to make that
clear up front and my answer is
unequivocally not to be afraid at all um
the Jewish people are a nation that is
here for close to 4,000 years years
we've suffered greatly we have plenty of
enemies and the secret to our survival
was that we were not naive we locked our
doors we did everything prudent Jacob
when he prepared to battle with his
brother he prepared for war but he also
prayed he prepared a bribe so the
Paradox was that Jews looked at the
enemy in the eye and did everything to
defend themselves but you're not going
to drive fear in me because I only have
one God and this is a time in history
that we will look back on for parents
the children are going to learn from us
how to deal with challenges every
challenge big challenges small
challenges so this is not a time to
cower in fear because that means every
time something happens we hide in the
basement victims are afraid we Jews have
suffered but we never were defined by
suffering I think every every mother and
father should dig deeper this is the
test of this is the test of your of your
amuna of your faith of your trust and
yes it is a test I'm not suggesting that
it's easy you know it may just be easier
just to bury ourselves in the ground or
just go into a bunker but it's not the
Jewish way and long term and short term
we will come out much stronger they say
Jews are like a tea bag you don't know
how strong they are until you put them
into hot water simple as that and this
is our time so obviously be prudent you
know I wouldn't just send the children
out like that obviously there has to be
security and all of that but never never
fear never fear so here's another
question for you there's so many people
you know you see you scroll through
Instagram you
see you see
unbelievable uh parades of tens of
thousands hundreds of thousands of
people marching every corner of the
globe chanting for the destruction of
Israel chanting for the destruction of
the Jewish
people how come it's not happened
already if you look at science if you
look at the nature of things if you look
at just sheer numbers 14 million Jews in
the world negligible a blip how many
nations have risen to try to defeat us
how is it possible that it has never
happened
and why and I'll add and why can it not
happen and I'll make that question even
stronger the biggest empire in the world
and I'll just list them quickly Egyptian
Empire Babylonian Empire Persian Empire
Assyrian Empire Greek Empire Roman
Empire Ottoman Empire Spanish Empire the
list goes on they were all oppressors as
well they have no descendants that say
oh I trace my roots into the Roman
Empire how's that possible they had
Millions more people they had tremendous
amount of land armies power control but
the answer is because the verse the
prophet says it
all it's not with our weapons and it's
not with our brute power that we have
strength
it's it's with Spirit Pharaoh made the
big mistake thank God he thought his
enemy were the men the ones that bear
arms and he said you know what I'll kill
all the boys so the man will never grow
up the Moses to save the Jews that's
what he thought didn't realize that the
strength of the Jews was in the women's
Faith he thought the women and children
he could subdue because you can't
destroy Faith with weapons and it was
their faith that actually continued to
have children despite children dying
unfortunately and ultimately it was not
only that it was
that y the main one F gave birth to
Moses put him in the basket you cannot
destroy faith I I'll tell you something
extremely moving that I heard from a few
Holocaust Survivors I asked them how is
it possible that Jews sang an I believe
with complete faith when they were
marched to the gas Chambers you know
they had all the right to be angry at
God where are you God he forsake the
Jews where the you you are your children
and where are you and yet they said man
and they were not crazy and they were
not denial they were not an escapism it
wasn't some type of delusion you know
what the answer is barl can I say this
to everyone that's listening the answer
is because the Jews were actually
declaring with Defiance you may take our
bodies but you will never take our souls
you may take our lives but you will
never take our faith and if it won't be
us it'll be our children and if it won't
be our children will be our
grandchildren we will prevail and look
today go to Berlin and you see little
Jewish boys and girls running around you
see a manora at the Brandenburg gate
where Yak Hitler stood and you have the
Germans who who came from the Nazis all
changing their names and hiding their
identities I'm not dismissing at all we
six million were decimated and I'm not
dismissing the over 13400 people that
were just so massacred brutally just
this just six days ago I'm not
dismissing but we are our light and our
faith is stronger than their hate simple
as that I love that you know I heard
something from Madness Freedman this
week which really gave me a lot of uh a
lot of uh strength somebody was saying
to him that the 1967 war the Yum War um
this is is worse than that it began in a
really bad way right the bombing of 1967
war and but the miracle was incredible
during the during the sixth day war and
this was even worse the beginning of
this one was even worse so that means
that the miracle that we're going to see
is going to be even more um you me you
know no doubt remember remember let me
say this let me just add one thing
there's two levels of being victimized
one is being
killed no one should ever experience
that and our hearts and souls cry with
every person who was taken and their
families but on the other hand there's
another being victimized where you
demoralized where you feel that you're a
victim where you feel that you're at
someone else's Mercy that we Jews can
never allow ourselves to do because
that's in our control and that's what
the enemy wants they want to break our
spirit let's be honest part of War
psychological war is to create that
other side panic and fear and run
away oh you you got a phone
call so
you know I'm curious I see all these in
the comments all these Wonder wonderful
people free
Palestine I don't even want to say his
name hit's the best and all these things
we also from Sydney Beach is what they
were saying yeah right right right so
I'm curious should we bring one of these
people on I I would like to see what
their face looks like or don't even I
don't even I'm disgusted but I would
even want to look at them I definitely
don't want to debate with them I think
God God you know they they're I just I
just do want to give a shout out to Ty
Jackson who just joined well you know
what um he's my he's my brother from a
black Christian mother go ahead yes go
ahead and he and does he hate you no he
loves me okay so that's all that's
that's fine but you bring one of these
haters that there completely irrational
it's it's uh it makes no it makes no
difference you know I I have to quote
this I have never been so proud as a Jew
as I am today I must tell you you know
why CU we brought civilization to this
world we brought kindness Justice
charity benevolence compassion I don't
understand that at all Abraham who the
isar lights and the Muslim say is their
great-grandfather you know what Abraham
did he was he was complete love he
prayed for in infidels I don't so it's
so to me the whole thing is just so and
I'll I'll quote a medis a medis says
that the nations of the world the
Nations
including Kamas and including all our
enemies would know how many blessings
they receive because of the Jews because
of Israel because of Y because of the b
mikdash instead of attacking it they
would surround it with Legions to
protect it because it's the source of
Their Blessings can you imagine how dark
it is the people benefiting from the
blessings that that we bring to them are
attacking to me it's like I mean
obviously the biggest question is how
God can allow such Darkness but that's
another discussion so by the way so what
is why why do the n why do the nations
of the world hate the Jewish people so
much because today it's Israel uh during
the Holocaust it was it was in Germany
it was before that it was uh it was it
was the Spanish Inquisition before that
it was I mean before before before that
Bible in the Bible it was
asov it's the flavor of the month so
Israel is the flavor of the month it
gives them you know gives them uh so why
is that Rabbi like it's it's so it's so
hurtful look look you know what only
Jews ask that question um because we we
are we're thinking people I sometimes
when people ask me that question I say
you know what it's not our problem is
there why don't you ask the non-jews why
don't you ask the haters why do we need
to explain why they hate us you know
that's like you know I I think I think
you're bringing up a great point because
I think that for a long time for a long
time a lot of Jewish
people have tried to bend their
mentality and say how could we make
ourselves more likable to the non-jewish
world because we must be doing something
wrong they don't like us in in so I
think that they Bend themselves and even
Israel is guilty of this for how long
did Israel Bend itself to the to the
wishes of the world to the wishes of the
United Nations to the wishes of whoever
it was at that time pressuring them
instead of taking care of its own people
and I think that if Jewish people are
strong and we're proud and we act like
Jewish people and the way that a Jew
acts is not just by eating Pagel loocks
and cream cheese but the way that a Jew
acts like a Jew is by learning Torah
that's the strength of the Jews do
Mitzvah that's the strength of the
Jews well I'll say this let me let me
say this let me say this as well as I
said I don't think I need to explain let
the haters explain why they hate um uh
Jews have never responded hate with hate
we defend ourselves you're not going to
we not we not take anything we're not
pushovers but we don't become haters
because people hate us so it's their
problem and you know what let them go to
their therapists and let them figure it
out um
and I'm being honest and you know what
in Psychology what's the first thing you
try to teach people don't Define
Yourself by other people right don't be
a pleaser right you know be yourself
find out who you are and be confident in
yourself right I will say one thing I
will say one thing as as Jewish Jews who
think and are philosophical and we
always wonder why people hate I'll put
it to you in very simple English
materialism hates spirituality the Jews
have become the conscience of the world
we're like the witnesses it says we're
the witnesses we're witnesses to God
we're witnesses to God's Miracles and
everything that's not godly hates
godliness right that's how it works
right and and and because we remind you
know the like like what do what do they
say kill the witness and then like then
there was no crime but but we but I want
to go back to something you ask we are
indestructible period the reason we're
indestructible is because there's a
connection to something Eternal called
God you're not powerful because you're
very wealthy you're not powerful because
you have a lot of power and control
you're powerful because you connect to
Eternity and when you have an eternal
aspect to your life everyone frankly I
would even say they're you connect to
God and you too will taste eternity and
that simple as that it's not a statistic
you know how many obituaries were
written about the Jews after World War
II after a third of our people were
decimated out of 18 million six million
and and the teachers
leaders everyone predicted by I want to
I want to address a comment over here
that let me S after by 19 they said by
1990 there will be no Jews left and if
you were a a statistician or or a um
actuary it would make sense but we're
not subject to statistics there are
things that are not statistics there are
things about that are higher
Transcendent Faith Eternal
immortality and that's what I you know
with all that we've suffered this week
our immortality will come shining forth
in ways that nobody has can ever
believe what very well said I want to
address a few comments that have been
made in the comment section which is
make peace ceasefire make peace Jews
make
peace
so you know you want my quick and I'll
tell you my quick and abrupt and
immediate response is this I heard it
I'm not sure who coined this if our
enemies put down their arms sincerely
they'd have peace in a second if we put
our arms down what will happen we' be
we'd be pushed into the sea exact
they're saying it it's in their
constitution it is so such such a
distorted propaganda brainwash that
there's any equivalence between what's
going on here completely you know what
what did we do after World War II why
didn't we go bomb and kill innocent they
weren so innocent the Germans it's not
the way of a decent person it's not a
civil Behavior if you can chop up a
child and you can and do all the
atrocities I don't want to use this
platform you know this is not about
because you're living in poverty there
people live in I I don't have an
appetite I don't have an appetite I
can't even say the words the videos that
I've seen I can't even say the I don't
have I've lost my appetite this
week the only go ahead yeah no no and
I'm not we're not looking here for
sensationalism and we're not looking for
pity we have to know that we have we're
dealing with it's people call them
animals it's worse than animals animals
don't do that animals kill prey to eat
here wow wow wow this is worse than
animals wow absolutely and to me it's a
reflection of a of a I don't even have
the words of an obscene decadent uh I
mean it's like everything anti- good
anti-religion all in the name of of
so-called religion it's like insanity
but anyway the point being is um this is
unprovoked um it's just not acceptable
in any way you know civilians that die
by accident because collateral damage is
one thing but targeting that with hatred
and then celebrating it I mean I don't
need to explain it let's put it this way
any person who needs explanation needs
to look at in the mirror about their own
decency and civility it's just uh you
know um so that so I don't need to
explain I think what we need to talk
about is our strength and and going back
to our parents and children you know
people have asked me what do we tell our
children let's talk about that for a
moment if I may can I I I I have another
question before you do
okay I did this life a lot of Hearts
popping up so there seems a lot of love
in this for sure for sure for sure you
know the The Crazy Ones have no no life
so they they're writing but uh you know
I I I made this live I made this live
tonight I told you that I was doing it
for everybody else I really was doing it
for myself I I need some comfort is you
know all therapists do it for themselves
right right right right right so what's
going to be Rabbi what's going to be it
looks bleak what's the future what's the
Future Okay that was the p we spoke
about the past we survived this that
great but you just said you just touched
a real button in me when you said what's
going to be let me tell you a story the
former Chief Rabbi of Israel R is Mayor
La he came to see the Reb 1974 right
after the Yum Kipper War and the rebba
he was then Chief Rabbi of Nat and you
know what he the he the re asked him
what's the mood in Israel was very
somber mood because it wasn't like the
Six Day War with all the Euphoria there
were a lot of mistakes made arrogance
there were over close to 3,000 casual
deaths and so on so he told the I think
inish he
said they're asking what's going to be
the word you just use what is going to
be or in Hebrew you
say the way he told me the story The Reb
grabbed his wrist like this like that
wow and said him Rabbi La by Jews we
don't ask what's going to be we ask what
are we going to
do
not you know the profound of that let me
tell you the difference a victim asks
what's going to be commander-in Chief
will never ask what's going to be he
will say okay we had a setback we didn't
work out this way we'll go that way tell
me of a business person that's
successful that did not have a failure
first or bankruptcy people who are
leaders people who are driven even on
any level there's no such thing as
what's going to be that's a victim's
language that's a victim as if someone
else is going to solve your problems we
don't ask what's going to be we don't
understand things I will never be able
to explain why God allowed this just
like I can't explain why God allowed the
Holocaust but remember not understanding
something doesn't make us weaker it
makes us stronger because it's not it's
not a passive statement of surrender
it's saying I don't understand but you
know what I know I have the resources
and the resilience to dig deeper and I'm
asking what am I going to do about it
and that's what we have to teach our
children and ourselves and including
tomorrow and everything that comes our
way what are we going to do and one
thing is our spirits will never will
never be shattered here nobody can take
away our spirit the only one that can
take away your spirit is yourself nobody
else can what's the answer what are we
going to do oh we're g to show that
light is stronger than Darkness I mean I
should have began with the first
statement we're going to first Vanquish
and eradicate every enemy that never
like this could never happen again
that's that's let me start with that
because you have to stop the bleeding
it's like an emergency room but long
term we're going to demonstrate as we've
always that light is stronger than
Darkness as passionate as you are in
your in your beastial and and and and
Beyond animal lower than animal behavior
we're going to show that our passion for
love and unity and commitment and faith
and Mitzvah and Good Deeds is stronger
than your hatred it's as simple as that
that's why we're here in this earth God
created a dark world and he said you
make this this week's chapter in the
Torah let there be light there was a
dark World bring light into the world
and the light will dispel the darkness
right now there's a lot of Darkness but
we can't allow ourselves to surrender to
Darkness simple as that we Vanquish it
we will completely eradicate it and um
and come out stronger than ever for
every negative thing for every person
who was taken will it will insire
thousands more that's how I look at it
you know I had so many people today
reaching out to me so many my by the way
I'm to you you're the one that has to be
one of the leaders of this
effort let's be honest bar let me say
this if we don't do that then in a sense
we are we are we are we are insulting
the people that gave their lives we have
to redeem it the way we redeem It Is by
showing that every life taken we're
going to bring life to hundreds more
thousands
more I I I I I say this M from my heart
I really believe you know I listen some
of you may know I sat at the feet of the
rebit this is what I learned I learned
what what a leader is like I learned
that when in times of C this is a time
in history that will go down that when
our children and grandchildren will
write the story they'll say what did you
do and we don't want to answer we kept
we hidden our homes and our basement
ments in fear we'll say we did
everything we had to do to protect
inocent people and we did everything we
had to do to keep the Spirit Alive and
show that we're not on the defense we're
going to be on the
offense I I listen you invited me on I'm
very passionate about this is it okay to
be on the offense you know we live in a
very liberal world today we live in a
very Kumbaya world today is it okay to
be on the offense I mean I know theine
offense offense I don't mean offense as
in like you know I I spoke the other day
to uh the some of the community leaders
and schim on campuses offense doesn't
mean to go out and protest when they're
protesting offense means that we're
inspiring every Jew we stand strong we
Inspire every nonu we we ask people to
connect to God to connect to love you
know we ask someone someone meets you
and say what can I do for you in Israel
you say do another Mitzvah be kind to
someone repair a rift with someone that
you've had argument with we're not we're
not asking when when offense here does
not mean we're going to attack our
enemies in Israel there there has to be
a real War I mean that's not a question
either because you have a living threat
there's a existing threat to everyone
that's innocent and and that's very
clear what do torah's stance
on going into
Gaza
H the Torah stance is we love life and
when life is threat
it's not just a threat to us it's a
threat to all people it's not just a
threat to Jews we always know that the
Jews are the minor Canary the lightning
rod anyone Attacks An Innocent
Jew give them a little time and they'll
attack innocent people all over so it's
not about going into Gaz it's about
protecting life when people are sworn
enemies and they have a constitution
that calls for the annihilation of every
man woman Jewish man woman a child and
they say we want to eradicate all of
Israel from from coast to coast from the
Mediterranean to the to the Jordan River
or whatever they call it then you have
no choice we can cry about it we can we
we you know feel terrible about it but
we have no choice to show strength to
completely eliminate the enemy let me
ask you let's not talk about a nation if
God forbid I ask everyone listening to
this including those that may not like
what was being said if somebody broke
into your living room your children are
asleep and they come to you and they say
you know what we won't attack your
children if you give us your living room
and then they ask for the dining room
you know what what would any family do
you do whatever problem is Rabbi the
problem is they say that the living room
is theirs they say that Israel is theirs
they say that we BR into theirs okay so
then do we all accept the Bible they
accept the Bible they consider
themselves religious people right the
Bible read the Bible and tell me how
many times it says that the promised
land was promised to Abraham Isaac and
Jacob to be given to their children and
when they went to Egypt who occupi the
land were occupiers they refused to
leave they said to the Jews you're
occupiers this week's chapter in the
Torah begins with Rashi that says a
thousand years ago Rashi said there will
be those that will say you're thieves
you stole our land so the Torah begins
and says God created the world and God
gave the land this small sliver of
Israel the rest of the world is yours so
I don't care what they say you know
anyone can say anything if I live in a
house and it's my house and my title and
someone comes and says hey you know what
you're living in my house I'll say yeah
look at the title look look at the book
The Bible the bestselling book makes it
very very clear I don't feel I have to
we have to prove anything I tell you
what they say tell you want to know what
they really say I I've studied Muslim
philosophy and I don't know if you know
that I want to understand you know what
they say they don't say the Bible is
wrong they say that the Jewish people
fell out of favor and God replaced them
with the ishmaelites played them with
the Muslims it was exactly what like the
Christians said they don't they say so
God God but you know what that is their
their thoughts and their opinion the
bottom line is we simply came home we've
been praying toward Jerusalem for three
and a half thousand years before Islam
existed it's ridiculous to me I don't
even feel I feel like I mean it's like
Century Islam was born in the sixth and
seventh century we're here for three and
a half thousand years what do you mean
occupied they didn't even exist you know
it's funny as soon as I quoted the Torah
and the Bible all of a sudden all of the
free Palestine morons none of them are
here anymore because there's nothing
else to discuss after that I think a big
mistake that a lot of people make
including secular Jewish people
including we never left I'm glad you
just called yourself a Mor on
[Laughter]
D2 what an
ID I think a lot of m a big mistake that
a lot of secular Jews make and the UN
makes and and the Oslo Accords and all
these things that they make is they look
at Israel as a 75y old country and it's
a very big mistake Israel is not a 75y
old story it's a 3,000 year old country
and that's the mistake that people make
is you cannot look at you cannot look at
Israel on a day-to-day basis on a
year-to-year basis or on a Century to
Century
basis and the and Israel belongs to the
Jewish people because God gave us did
you ever wonder do you ever wonder you
ever wonder why a mosque is built on
every holy site Christian or Jewish holy
site you know why I because in Muslim
philosophy MIM religion feels that if we
the demonstration of God choosing us
over the Jews and the Christians is
demonstr we have to build a mask on the
Temple Mount even though Jerusalem has
never mentioned the Quran and in
in and in and K what does k have to do
with Islam you know I don't even know if
Muhammad was ever there K is the place
where Abraham Isaac and Jacob are buried
Abraham Isaac and Jacob are our
forefathers yes I will agree that
Abraham also had a child youal that's
why it shocks me why they don't behave
like Abraham where's where's the where's
the kindness that Abraham
was capable of being a mench right he
did
he he became a good guy he became a good
guy look I I uh Islam has much much many
beautiful ideas and Concepts but I think
when it comes to Jews people become
irrational and that's that I mean
there's a lot of ways to explain the
conscience of the world I mentioned
before you have to also remember let's
talk B basic business competition we
were here before everybody it's in their
interest to delegitimize us because
that's the only way they're more
legitimate you know I I mean I'm sorry
for being so blunt I hope you if you're
not going to be blunt now when are you
going to be blunt right now it's all
coming to the
surface yeah anyway world the world is
ready for truth I will tell you this
it's enough it's enough of us pandering
to everybody it's enough of us bowing
down all the time it's enough of us
hiding I'll tell you this I'm I'm a firm
Bel Bel ver just as the Christians were
tamed and ultimately developed a country
like the United States that became a
Haven for Jews and for all religions and
and and um Advocates the fundamental
prin principles of the Torah which is
that all people are created equal and
have unalienable rights I'm a firm
believer that in our lifetime we're
going to see the Muslims also get tamed
I hope so we need but we need to help
them we need to help them understand
what God wants and we have to be Godly
for them to respect that if we're not
godly they won't respect us and we need
to tell them listen don't we're your
older cousins and we'll tell teach you a
little few things about God the problem
is but this has to go hand in hand they
have to have humility they have to have
humility and this goad one second this
hand in hand with fighting and doing
whatever we do to uh eradicate evil that
we will not tolerate we're not going to
sit and just send them flowers and say
eradicating evil is Godly the Torah
gives us a commandment somebody is
trying to kill you you have a Mis to
kill them first that is go Godly yeah we
you said it beautifully before we value
life and we defend life and we protect
life at all costs yeah we value life
more than they than they value death
absolutely
um you know anyway go getting back to
the theme at hand parents everywhere
love your children part of loving your
children is building resilience building
strength building faith and yes yes we
know there's a dark world out there but
we're here to bring light into a dark
world and I would tell my children very
simply there are people out there that
have chosen death that have chosen
Darkness people have free will our job
is not to give into that not to be
afraid of it but to bring more light at
the same time to protect ourselves and
you you my dear son my dear daughter are
part of a mission and part of a gift
that God has sent you to this world and
know that your light is stronger than
anyone else's Darkness I think we can
teach this children from a young age
without frightening them we have to
expose them to all the horrors that
we're seeing but teaching them about
what life is about this is an
opportunity of of I think of a lifetime
we all wish this didn't happen trust me
six days ago s you know we hoped we're
going into y everyone was so excited but
once this happened we turn quickly and
learns lessons and become stronger than
ever and I I I I I I uh I encourage
everyone that rise to the occasion now
be a leader make things happen talk to
people educate yourself I just speak
actually an
interesting when you say make things
happen practically speaking what every
person sitting at home tonight yeah
today tomorrow whenever this reaches you
whenever this is reaching your ears and
you're listening to it what can a Jewish
person do let's start with that what
could a Christian person do what could a
person that doesn't believe in God do
what could a what could even a Muslim do
to bring to bring more light into the
world excellent and and especially
regarding tomorrow because tomorrow is
going to be a day of Hate by some people
so that responses we will bring even
more love firstly and I'm saying this
for I I'll start first universally and
then I'll work my way to the individual
groups you just mentioned firstly make
sure you reach out to at least five
people tomorrow and today whenever with
a special kind word simply send a
message to your contact list share with
them something inspiring that's on a
simple level if you have a rift with
anyone call them up apologize or accept
an apology repair Rifts third thing is
initiate things maybe whenever you can
host something in your house or in
someone else's house get together study
something give a little Charity pray
together I mean there's so many things
that we can do that are even easy and
simple and especially online today for
Jews particularly I will add that we
have Mitzvah like for example all boys
and men after B Mitzvah putting Onan if
you put on already do it with extra
diligence if you haven't begin out
fillan has particular power of driving
fear into the enemy as a matter of fact
during The Six Day War in Yuma War when
the enemy saw fill they thought it was a
new type of bomb a new type of grenade
or something it is a weapon but it's a
spiritual weapon um for women tomorrow's
Friday perfect Friday is the day when we
before Sun before before Sundown before
Sun yeah 18 minutes before Sundown light
a shus candle whether you're a woman or
a girl light dispels darkness and put on
your doors if you don't check your misus
it also has a particular power of
protection for for
non-jews we have the the universal laws
of Ethics I mentioned before
civilization which include being a men
being kind being ethical living up to to
the standards of of law recognizing
there's a eye there's a eye that sees
and ear that hears be accountable to our
higher authority we don't own ourselves
we need to be responsible this the first
respond the first thing you learn from
all of this if they really had fear if
they really had respect and reverence of
God God has laws first laws you do not
touch another person you don't you're
not even forget about killing you don't
even touch another person so we have to
add an increase in all those positive
things I can go on the list goes on but
all of it really adds up to what I said
before make things happen don't react be
proactive lead the way because I shut I
shut off the comments already why do we
have to give the darkness uh uh why do
we have to give the darkness a what's it
called a platform already yeah get them
out of here already I was and you guys
are welcome you guys are welcome to stay
by the way because
we believe that Darkness uh that
lightness breaks Darkness so you guys
are actually welcome to stay my pleasure
because hopefully a little bit of this
will penetrate you but
yes RAB I hope you have more more listen
um we I I I you were going to mention
that story um and I think it's a good
story to end on because I'm exhausted of
a flight tomorrow and and I know I
called you last minute and it's late and
everybody's tired let me tell this isor
yeah right go ahead in
1927 the
prev was arrested in the former Soviet
Union you could imagine what it was like
under Stalin he was just like another
Hitler and they arrested him for no
cause counterrevolutionary activity
which basically was another way of
saying that he's spreading faith and
religion and so on and they tried to
intimidate him and scare him he refused
to cooperate he though spoke Russian he
insisted on speaking Yiddish he insisted
on having his Talis and and all that
finally one of his captors who was a Jew
a Jewish communist who hated religion
said to the rean yish pointed a gun to
his head and said rebba this weapon has
frightened and made many people
cooperate the re
unflinching without itting turned to him
and said
this this toy this toy can frighten
someone that has one world and many gods
but not someone that has one God and
many
worlds in other words I'll use business
language if you diversify if you have
all your eggs in one basket and that
basket is taken from you you have a lot
to be afraid of but when you have many
baskets yes we don't want to die but you
don't think death is going to frighten
me because I have spiritual life I have
values I have family I have children I
have teachings much will live on so it's
not that you can frighten me by taking
away one thing from me I have many
resources and I have one God that is
unchangeable and you know he responded
the the captor said to him Reb we see
who prevails and the Reb said to him yes
we shall see who prevails what happened
so true story this man lulov was his
name he was he was killed executed a few
weeks later that's that was the process
and the rebel was miraculously released
ended up going to Europe ended up coming
to America 1940 ended up building the
kabad laich community his son-in-law
took over in 1950 and the rest is
history this is called and a leader
opened up 5,000 synagogues all over the
world exactly you are not going to
terrify us we're not afraid of you yes
God for whatever reason allows you to
control our body movements but you're
never going to control our souls and
actually when he came out of prison he
said our bodies went to Gus our bodies
were displaced but our souls never went
to Gus a soul never goes into Exile a
soul cannot be ins slaved only a body
