Charlie Harary 4th Big Chazaq Event

it is an honor to be here i think i can't see anybody it's too light i think it's an honor to be here [Music] it really is the highlight of my year to be able to stand in front of hazak in front of queens my hometown the home of the greatest pizza store in the world ship owns pizza those that didn't get the joke you should go to chevrons you'll understand i am truly humbled to be able to speak on the same podium as one of the greatest individuals that we have in our people or by tourist gate an individual who has guided our community for years we are right now what should be in the most exciting period of time we should be walking around on fire you see right now we are in between two moments of gula goola isn't just redemption like one day we'll go to israel goola is when things work out utopia when hashem shows up and all of our problems go away when someone's sick and they get healed and some of these parnassa and they get it when someone looks for somebody to marry and they find them when someone's trying to have children when we struggle and god shows up and saves us and we are sandwiched between the two moments of gola in fact we are right now in the middle of this period of time where we come from the gula of purim we're entering into the ghoul of pesach and it's only getting better from there because from there we get to the omer and we end with the torah we are right now in what's supposed to be the greatest period of time in the jewish country we don't have that energy we don't feel that redemption why so i want to talk to you about something that is the beginning of this period as we enter into this incredible period of google apporum we have the strangest custom maybe of the entire year that is literally the first thing we do the first thing we do before we enter into all the fun before we have purim and pesach the first thing we do the first custom that we do is maybe the strangest costume of the year we have a shoutouts right before park and we dedicate that shabbos to our greatest enemy now we've got a lot of people that hate us we're the jewish people that's how it works you try to kill us we beat you and we eat that's how we roll we find one of your leaders we dip him in oil and the kids think you get a midstream for eating it that's how it works somehow we had a miracle in oil we found a way to dip everything in oil and feel like we're getting a mitzvah for it because we're the jewish people and we have grandmothers that make us think this way god bless jewish grandmothers for those that just scream back it wasn't for jewish grandmothers we wouldn't know that margarine is healthy for you know what i'm talking about and the true way to diet according to his grandmother is eat more and more and more because that's how we're supposed to live and we have this entire litany of people that hate us but there is one that we seem to be obsessed with they're called amalek right now here's let's tell you how this is strange to anybody we have this weekend where we have this obligation to remember them why because we have this obligation to obliterate their memory watch this we're our job in this world is to erase the memory of our molex here's what we do we get together in sure now going to shul with a minion is a midoribana there was one time of year a god makes it into a direction means you have to be ensure and it's so important that all the rabbis are like listen guys for real we're reading i'm not like it please you know we have four readings five readings ten readings twitter ladies please ladies please guys please guys please and finally everyone's quiet for the first time all year and we read like three or four percent of metabolic and the entire reading is to remember amalek do you know why because we're supposed to forget amalek anybody following this there is no war on malik amalek was a people that was like 2 000 years ago we don't know who they are so we like make it up like the nazis were amalek the arabs are like the guy who failed in my road test amalek for sure two jews are fighting they're both on my leg we have no idea who these people are in fact the only people in the world that remember are molly are the people that are supposed to forget them anybody following i have an idea it's called the harare plan let's put the holobolic story back in like the summertime my hands are snoozing anyways and like in two years because it'll be like yeah well yeah we forgot about them and we will effectively erase the memory while i'm like why do we dedicate a weekend to them because we're supposed to erase their memory what in the world is going on so i'm going to tell you a story this happened a few years ago i am like one of these like israeli like conspiracy theory guy i love reading all like the spy novels i'm like you know in my head i was like a mossad agent in a previous life and like i always think like i'm in the loop of what's going on like you know with iran whatever so a bunch of years ago iran as you know has this really new idea they want to kill the jewish people you've heard this before and they act like listen we don't like the jewish people so here's what we're gonna do they built a nuclear bomb they're trying to build a nuclear bomb to ultimately send to israel to wipe us out so a few years ago if you remember there was this controvers this great story about the israeli and the american spies getting together and what they did was they created a virus and they put the virus into the nuclear plant of the iranian nuclear facility and the virus was one of the greatest viruses ever you tried to attack it and it split and that virus literally disintegrated the entire nuclear plant setting back the nuclear program for years now when i read that i had one thought now remember in 1981 iraq saddam hussein had another great idea which was to create a nuclear bomb to kill us on june 7th 1981 eight f-16s with israeli air force pilots flew to iraq and bombed the entire facility destroying it all it's an amazing day i remember it because they called me for my advice and i said you should go for it for sure i'll be in america tell me when it's over so the iranians you ready are thinking to themselves hey wait a second 81 the israelis use these fire pilots to bomb the facility we're going to build the greatest ground to air missiles ever and wait for the israeli pilots to come and bomb the facility meanwhile the facility was already being virused and in my head i'm picturing the following scene tell me if you can picture this i am picturing like 50 iranian guards out with these ground-to-air missiles like way out of these landings like energy hot energy right probably like you know tons of desert and you know camels and be all you know i'm saying the whole place and they're like waiting for the israelis meanwhile there's like two israelis like you know bunker and damona on like a computer you know what about like drinking black coffee smoking cigarettes and eating like kumbles and olives going like and these two fat israelis but their computers are the whole cleaner places like crumbling behind these guys i don't know why that gives me so much pleasure but it does you know i don't know i i agree with you it's awesome you see the iranians made this major mistake they thought that if we were bringing our army our airport airplanes that we weren't fighting them they thought that the enemy isn't coming because the enemy changed their face one of the greatest mistakes you can make in warfare is that when your enemy changes his face you think he's not there he's there in fact you're opening up the entire ability from to get in because you're watching the front when he's thinking through the back who is a mulek and why do we care so much about them so let's jump into the story of egypt and understand what's going on we think that the story of pessim the story of egypt is the story in which god shows up and wants to take the jews out of egypt it's not true if god wants to take the jews out of egypt it would have been such a simple story right if you were like god's chief of staff and god's like listen take the juice out of each other what would you do it would be a minute right you would take close chef the ninth plate you move it up to the first place you say here guys here's the deal we're showing up tuesday afternoon lights are out and we're out of here the jews come to having shawarmas on venue hooters before the lights went back on right be like who let the jews out it'll be too late they didn't do that god shows up and now he's playing with pyro for real please can you let him out no okay here's a plague now no god the creator of the universe has to like get permission from the guy he created who he sustains ten times no way if you go to the biggest atheist in the world you sit down and go toe-to-toe with an atheist you sit down richard dawkins the double hador of atheists and you go one-on-one with him and you go how did the world create he had no one he has no idea even the biggest scientists are sitting around saying there's no god if you really push him and go so where did it come from like no no no i get it where did it start from they have no clue most of humanity believes that god created the world where we struggle is not that he created the world where we struggle is that he is in the world we know he created the place but most people think that he created the place and he's too busy to worry about me and you he's god he's not here anymore he doesn't know what's going on in our lives he's not in our families you think god is actually he thinks he cares about me and you you think he cares about little old me i'm not a rabbi i'm not important i'm a regular nobody you think god cares about me where most of the world is struggling is does god is he in the world so god shows up this here's what i'm going to do i'm going to show the world that i am here you know how i'm going to take my nation and i'm gonna put them in the epicenter of civilization it's hard to appreciate this egypt is the it was at that time the every center of civilization right now america is the epicenter of civilization i know how much longer this lasts for right now the whole world knows our stuff right you go to europe everybody's following our presidential elections i bet you none of us can even name one president or prime minister in all of europe you know what i'm saying if it wasn't for the live map on the ll flight to israel we didn't know that europe existed you know what i'm talking about it's like hour seven you're like oh that's where spain is i have no idea europe like what i'm saying like everybody's following america you ever go someplace and they don't speak english and you're confused you're like what do you mean they're like well why would i be english i'm in israel you're like but why don't you speak english for you know what i'm saying because we're in the middle of the world people watching our movies we're reading up wearing our clothes you know why because for however long this lasts we are in the middle of the world whatever we do everybody talks about back then the middle of the world was egypt so listen to god's brilliance god takes his nation and puts us in the middle of the world and then tells paro hey let's get him out and power goes no and he uses paro's no to show the entire world that not only did he create the place but that he's in the place every play brought out another bit of who he was yes he knows how to control the sky and the ground and the nile yes he knows which cattle belongs to egyptians and which cattle belongs to jews yes he knows which firstborns god is in the world so when the jews came out of egypt it was the greatest experiential lesson of all time the entire world knew that god's here with us jewish people stood for god as here in the world and they walked right out and everybody knew it and there was one nation that was far away amalek was in the bottom of gaza my like with that those times were living in the gaza strip that's that zone we were in the sinai desert we weren't going into their territories we weren't bothering them but they couldn't stand us do you know why because they didn't hate us for being jews they hated us for being god's representatives they hated us standing that he's in the world they didn't have a problem with us they had a problem with him you mess with us we'll forgive you you mess with him you mess with our dad you're going down and from the beginning of time amulek stood for one thing god's not in this world a mullet's fight from the beginning of time was the same fight he doesn't really care he's not really there and when they came to attack the jewish people they weren't trying to kill us you know what they're trying to do draw some blood they wanted someone to go really if he was really with them how come they lost the battle is he really there why did this happen why did that happen if amalek was goal was one thing to get us to say maybe he's not really there and from the beginning of time until now there is two battles going on every single day the battle of he's in my life and the battle of no way he cares about me right now as i'm speaking you're thinking is he in my life does he know my kids is he on carpool i'm struggling to make a living is he with me and every second that you think not that's on my leg you see i'm not likely to go anywhere you know what happened there were once a people you know what they are now they were a virus they exist you know where they are they're in all our yeshivas you can have the fanciest building and then that issue is some rather saying to a kid you're nobody they're in our homes they're in our schools everywhere you look amalek is sitting with two computers and going look how nice this is look how nice look how beautiful this family is they look so religious watch this boom yeah you believe in god i don't think so look at this wonderful community it's amazing and two guys on the computer are mullet going out yeah god god's not with you click and every generation you know we're not sitting you know we're sitting here worried about our safety for because amalek is still around we just don't see him and we think we won we didn't win so every year god goes before you walk into the period of goula before you get into purim and pesach before you get to all this stuff here's the deal you get in the room and you read remember they're there remember they're there now go wipe them out go be the people that you're meant to be go out to the streets and believe in your core that he is with you everywhere you stand for that he is in the world and if you for one second believe that he is not with you you are letting the virus spread into who you are our goal our people our mission is to remind ourselves that not only does he exist that he loves me and he's with me my marriage is just two people my kids aren't just people that were born to me every second of my life as god whispering to me saying i'm here i'm here i'm here and if we live this way if we as a nation hold hands and stand for this and when goula comes we'll know we brought it my bracha to us is that we should be sofa to the people that stand for god when it wasn't easy the people that stood up and held the torch that our forefathers held in mitsrayam so when every second of our lives from good and from bad we know that not only does he exist but he loves me and he's with me and with that strength maybe just maybe we'll be the community that can bring google into our days beharo biano
