He dressed very refined. He was He
couldn't stand there should be papers
like newspapers in the dorms.
It's a mitzvah of like dignity. I want
to share Torah that should be an illui
nishama. It's interesting. I'm excited
after after mashiach he's going to be
proud of me that I become mashiach.
He was I have early mashiach of friend.
Shaya was from the first.
And I I want there's a detail I want to
explain when I said become mashiach.
I wanted tonight explain in a kodesh
that I mean strongly and I thought about
and should be an illui for Shaya's
nishama.
I go around speaking. There's a certain
mitzvah like you see going Why Why you
running places? Say a word somewhere.
Sitting here are your friends. We can
learn Torah together.
It's It's a mitzvah arrogant to speak.
Mitvah somewhere there you go to
Brooklyn to speak that the the whole
city is full of me to come.
There's all the younger ladies sitting
and learning. You learn a few minutes a
month. You go to Brooklyn like to share
your Torah.
I have a specific thing I've been
running Torah people for 3 years.
I want to share with my friends. There's
something I'm trying to do.
And say and and and and I feel like I
feel that that I'm supposed to do it.
That's my sense. I'm trying I'm trying
to do something. I want to tell you I
want to say to my friends tonight. It's
a friend with night. It's Purim It's
Purim. It's mashiach. Purim We're
already saying I'm thinking of my
costume already. Like it's exciting. The
house things are elaborate. The costumes
are being geared up. The kids costumes
are rolled out. We're all fired up.
I want to share this that it should be
an illui for this precious nishama for
Shaya Tursky. Should be an illui for his
nishama. He's a very special person.
He was He was the He was a guy learning
Torah. Just fact. This guy learned
Torah. Didn't come easy learning. He had
a cheshik in learning. He would ride
over sheer. He was lifted on the way to
my sheer. He was running back on a
Friday morning cuz he wanted to come to
sheer. He was He was running to learn
tire.
It's It's It's hard. A person's on the
way to learn tire. It's like that It's
hard, but the neshama fear developed the
things we don't know. Clearly it was be
a tie. There was no It was the time that
that it was nexer and shamayim clearly
cuz he was on his way to a mitzvah. He's
on the way to learn tire. It's just
clearly wasn't nifter young. There was
no zayer. It wasn't like that. This was
a very the height of him when he was
alive.
The whole yeshiva knew this guy is
different. It wasn't It wasn't a
hadasha.
He had a He had a You saw in his panim
anybody knew people in shaya.
He was a very the height of him a
person. He was me this time this guy
learning being a storm. Like I tell you
be a mitzvah. This guy wrote over every
sheer and give chizuk. Appreciated
sheer. Appreciated tire tremendously.
Was writing over tire. A very special
neshama.
So I want to share something that I've
come to that I'm up tighting him in some
ways and certainly chassidus and what
drew us me to chassidus. And what I mean
that there's no chassidus just tire as
you didn't learning tire or living tire.
There's no They're not branches. Tire is
tire and learning tire and tzaddikim.
I'm describing I'm I use the word what
I'm describing.
I want to say the following two
thoughts. I want to
Maybe we'll learn four things on the
megillah, but I want to start with this.
In the megillah shlaymi we're called
yehudim.
How do I differ? Very busy and yeah
Anybody ever notice this? In the
megillah like we're called yehudim.
Interesting. Elsewhere we're called bnei
yisrael. Our name typically is klal
yisrael, am yisrael, bnei yisrael. In
the megillah it's busy we're called
yehudim. Do you ever notice this? Why
Yehudim I say
Al Kein Yehudim Purim.
We're busy. It's Mamish Vayishlach
Malachi Yehudim.
Very interesting. We're called Yehudim.
Yes, you haven't noticed that? The other
names, he sends from to to call Yisrael.
In Megillas Esther, we're called
Yehudim.
Very interesting Halacha D'Oraysa.
I want to say a second Halacha and then
I want to talk about these two Halachas.
I want to talk about that in Megillas
Esther, we're called Yehudim. One
Halacha.
It's worthy of thinking. Don't take my
shot on it. But it's it's an Halacha
D'Oraysa. Something's there. It's an
interesting name. Here, we're called
Yehudim. You find in the Torah Yisrael,
Am Yisrael, Yisrael. Here in the
Megillah, we're called Yehudim. It's
very interesting.
And the second Halacha, words we're very
used to. Like Yehudim
I say Simcha Sasson
we know the Gemara Oris Torah.
We know Simcha is Shabbos and Yom Tov.
Sasson is Milah and Yakar is Tefillin.
And we understand when a Klal Yisrael
has Torah, has Yom Tov, has Tefillin,
has Milah, we know these are things that
Haman was Misnaged. Haman fought. Milah
is Yadua Vayizan Amalek attacks the Bris
Milah.
Tefillin is the is the is the crown of a
Yid. Amalek attacks the specialness of a
Yid. Shabbos Akum Shabbos Chayav Misa.
They're
These are things Torah is Klal Yisrael.
A guy that learns Torah is Miskayem
Nafshi. These are uniquely Am Yisrael.
Our unique relationship. There's a lot
of Shtickel Torah. Reb Reb
Reb Aron Kotler Yeshiva then through
tons of Mekoros that learning
began there a better of Hashem of
his learning Torah.
Hashem of his learning Torah.
Of his learning Torah. Torah is a
of every burning and many
to this.
But I want to ask like this a little bit
I don't want to call it a sophisticated
question. I want to call it an honest
question. I think a good question.
I'm
not asking why it doesn't say they had
Torah. It's called Torah. No problem.
What does it mean they had Torah?
You didn't learn Torah.
You didn't put on to fill in. They did
fill in.
What's the
and there was
to the end.
There was Torah to the
there was Torah.
But you didn't have
Why you holding my
why you holding
what's this why you holding my
to to the end there was
there was
to the end.
You're saying we we kept it.
It's a funny way of saying that we
didn't mean well. It's a funny way of
saying we put on we like to fill in.
Doesn't say that it says in there was to
fill in to the end.
What is that?
What's being said here?
This this in you is is the is when I say
like I found
talking about this. I'm
talking about this.
Let's start with the Megillah's called
you holding the Megillah.
I want to express we're called thankers.
Does not mean that we remember to say
thank you.
You didn't say thank you. No, no, say
thank you.
I always when we say that you didn't are
called thankers
it does not mean that with the ones
always we have to teach our kids
gratitude, you know, we didn't.
We're called you who didn't.
I I think about this time.
When I when I want to be my husband my
gratitude to say thank you saying my own
kids don't I don't want to say thank
you. This week I had two meetings that I
traveled distances two nights I went for
meetings.
And
and I experienced when somebody's in a
healthy place.
They say thank you. They don't have to
it's not note to self.
A healthy guy doesn't say note to self
remember to thank when you go to
somebody for a soda Daniel. You don't
sit there remember to thank if you're a
normal person and somebody feeds you you
say thank you.
It's not like note to self.
It's like are you normal? If somebody
hands you a thousand dollars note to
self say thank you. It's that's
ridiculous. Gratitude is a natural
normal no kid. You don't have to put
gratitude in a child mom should.
You don't have to put gratitude in a
child. It's ridiculous. You Emma you
don't have to like Emma is this person
growing Menachem you don't have to over
the years Menachem inculcate gratitude
into your child Menachem. That's that's
obscene.
A child has gratitude. That's normal.
It's it's it's a basic thing for human
being. They get a fed note does anybody
Maybe you yell is a is a prince working
with youngsters. You have to like put
into the youngsters. Let's like the see
Shiva are you Shiva we we inculcate
gratitude? No, people are grateful.
I'm not saying there's not a reminder to
a child to say thank you. I'm not saying
that and sign this mirror is up to me is
do it and you'll feel it the such as
that other men have like people like
this.
I am saying that when a person is in a
healthy state what emerges is gratitude.
Gratitude is a real space.
When I was younger I I heard from a bell
most or something very nice. When you
say made them thank a sham don't waste
the bell thank a sham for something.
It's very nice. It's a good muscle.
Today I ask myself what I'm grateful
for. When I remember I don't like here
and sir cuz what I thank for I'm trying
to be honest. That's not what I'm
grateful for.
I want to be grateful I that's a good
feeling. I'd like to be grateful for I
ask myself I don't care if it keeps
coming up the same things. I really want
to know what's the space that I'm
grateful for and I asked myself why
aren't you grateful for other things?
But I've got it to the search things I
might as well appreciate. I manage feel
good about it.
I manage I manage feel good. I've been
struggling with a pinched nerve the last
7 weeks and the days I feel better I
manage appreciate manage manage feel
good.
I appreciate aspects of my body working
nice I manage like we don't doesn't
body works nice I manage I feel sham's
kishkes can run around like I can keep
up with Trevor I manage running and
coming can keep up it's very good
feeling. Manage good feeling.
I appreciate it yeah not bad.
It's getting there but I feel good I
feel good. That's the answers I feel
grateful. Feel grateful to run you walk
in the snow and you can slide a little
bit kishkes you can enjoy feel grateful.
Gratitude is a real space in us.
When it says we're called you who them I
want to express this does not mean we
remember to be grateful it's not what it
means we're thankers of a sham. Our mid
say us is we are bound with a sham.
We're the nation that that we're so
bound our very existence thanks a sham.
Say thank you cuz anyway you're a
thanker. You're one of the thankers.
That's you By the way, when you're most
in tune with self, you like thanking
Hashem. That's a Yid.
A Yid is bound to Hashem.
IT'S NOT JUST EVEN WHEN you teach your
kids say thank you, say be you. I'm
You're not one of the thankers.
And good as you do things right, they'll
feel their neshama, by the way. They'll
be thankers. They Yidden. A Yid is a
Yehudi is a thanker of Hashem.
That's what it It's a It's a neshama of
a Yid that's bound to Hashem. We're the
people who quite naturally thank. When
we're wholesome and healthy, we thank.
We're Yehudim. We're the thankers of
Hashem.
Of course then say thank you, you know,
like hello. We're the people who bench.
We actually are people who bench.
And the benching is from the rice of
the gift to bench is cuz we're people
who bench.
We're thankers of Hashem. It's who we
are. When I say I become
When I was younger, I was like trying to
like to like break my Let's go. Thank.
Come on.
I discovered I It's like A Yid thanks
Hashem That's like what a Yid is. Like
that's that's If you just like feel your
neshama, if you just stop If you just
breathe for a few minutes,
you'll see we're like big thankers of
Hashem. If you like take a Yid just like
like give him a little space. Stop like
trying to inculcate and get him and you
know, you'll discover he's a thanker of
Hashem. That's what you'll discover. I
I'm in it. You'll discover if you let a
person breathe, you'll discover Watch
your children, you know, you'll call it
that big They're thankers of Hashem.
I want to say we're called Yehudim cuz
it's the Amalek doesn't want that
there's a metzius of people that have
nishmas Yisrael on this earth. They
don't They say there's no such a human
being a breast. You have this like
treaty and this profound kashrus Hashem.
There's no such thing in the world. They
don't want such a thing in the world.
That there's something called the
Yehudi, somebody whose essence thanks
Hashem. That's That's just what they
are. What they do, neshama is strong.
Now, doesn't mean we have a task. Of
course, we have a task not to get
tainted, to be true to self. Of course,
be a Yid. Cuz we're Yidden, be Yidden.
Thank, cuz we're the thankers, cuz it's
what we do. By the way, if you see a kid
not appreciate, it's not a thank you. If
they say, "Well, what's happening?"
Well, wow, you're really out of touch. I
observe people who aren't aren't
thanking. They're very They're just not
If a guy is not I ask dorm counselors on
a trip, I ask. I just got off the phone
with I ask he did a trip. I ask which
guys thanked Hashem. You think I want to
like punish the guys that don't? I want
to know who's like who's like hurting.
If a guy is not thanking, there's
something Something's like off. It's not
It's not a Yid is I need to go to him
and say, "Buddy, you know, you have to
say thank." There's something off.
There's
It's like natural. And especially a Yid
A Yid thanks God. A Yid is so kosher to
Hashem. And a Yid's more kosher than a
I don't know if that's I don't I
don't know. That's not a goy's first
thought. A maybe learns from a Yid
and thank A Yid thanks Hashem. It's like
full of gratitude. I saw this on my
father, on my parents, on my
grandparents. Yidden thank Hashem like
mamesh. Yidden are busy. They're so full
of gratitude Hashem. I've watched
friends. We watch each other. Yidden
thank Hashem like poshut. Oh, by the
way, of course, we bench. We have a
mitzvah to thank a Yid. The thankers
bench.
What I want to express is that the
Megillah
called Yehudim over cuz it's who we are.
We're the people who thank Hashem. And
that's the exact opposite of Amalek who
don't want to That there's not a dirah
b'tachtonim. You're not a people who
like represent Hashem in a so tight
Hashem.
We're much deeper tied than remember to
thank, inculcate thank you. When I say
the say this is the core of the neshama
of Israel. Of course there's muscle to
learn and we have to remember to say
thank you. You have to remember to be
yourself and sometimes you have to do
foolishness that embarrasses people.
When I say this is and this is for
muscle and for I'm just talking tired.
It's important to remember neshama of
Israel.
I go around. I don't want to say you
fart. I want to remind you that we're
like that we're really in that it's you
can forget sometimes.
I want to remind us we're you didn't
what we have who we are. Not muscle. We
have to We have to tell our children and
we're not being honest proper stop.
We're you didn't We're you didn't We
really are. I promise we're you didn't
We're you holding. And it's a beginner's
Malik not to have who we are. That's
what a Malik does. They purposely try to
cool down the bath that a person
shouldn't sense. There's a you holding
and there's responsibility. Act like you
holding. Be true to you holding. Be in
touch that you're you holding.
I want to if it takes singing to have
we're you didn't if it takes it's not
when a change of that I'm in shy with a
material of this like the prestige of
you holding. You don't like when there's
garbage papers in the dorms.
We're you holding like he sensed with
like with something different. It wasn't
like it's It was that's an infringement
to you holding. We're you holding.
There's something different about us.
I want to express that you holding
has
over the same
to the end that was tired. Doesn't say
we learned tired. We're
We're shy to tired. We're shy to fill
in. We're shy to me well. We're shy to
show us you holding.
To the end that was shy of us. I just
like shy of us to show us.
I watch in you show you
as a guy shows
he like starts like feeling of us
We're like really shaya to our shira
today. Remember where you heard them.
You heard them are thinkers. So the day
where Shabbos is the day easiest to
experience Hashem. It's the one where
when a person's it's it's it's beginas
mikdash Shabbos. What the Beis Hamikdash
is in place, Shabbos is in time. So the
ones that are most like activated on
Shabbos are the Yidden. We're the people
where you heard them.
We're thinkers of Hashem. We're like
busy with Hashem. Our our our mitzvos
are thinkers of Hashem. So of course
we're
like Yidden that with Shabbos. To Yidden
that was that was a Shabbos. We're shaya
to Shabbos. We're connected to Shabbos.
We wake up from Shabbos. Shabbos like
means something. I told the chevre it's
a true story. I sent a bachur to rehab.
The therapist said to him that there's
something different. The therapist said
to a guy, "On the weekends you're
different. There's something weird." I
promise it's a true story. Therapists a
whole bunch. They weren't being funny.
They were trying to figure it out. They
said, "On the weekends you're like
different. What's happening?" Therapist
said to a guy struggling that on Shabbos
you're different. Of course. Of course
to Yidden that with Shabbos. Shabbos
like does something. And I check anybody
come it's very ruinous. On Friday nights
in yeshiva they could do a study. You've
been there. It's like In shul I say
this. I say this it's just
The reason I don't I say it there it's a
little more raw. People are If you're in
the shul if we all were to just
comfortable doing anything you would see
like a buzz in shul Friday night.
There's something I I I can sense it if
if I was locked away I would tell you
when Shabbos is I would feel it. I think
I would not have locked I shouldn't get
locked up. I think it's partially We
have We have um
the Noam Elimelech and his brother Reb
Zusha declared is it just our
activities? What would we have? They had
such a chezkah here. So I'm they're
They're bigger. They're big people. I
sense we would know. I'd be surprised
that we wouldn't feel when Shabbos is. I
think a Yid would know. People have
In our history, people have gone
through. I think a Yid would wait. Look,
it's funny this halacha is how to count.
I'm always I'm surprised. Why isn't the
halacha when the Yid feels the Shabbos?
So,
maybe not to rely on that. I'm shocked
the Yid would get a certain They said
this guy This guy doesn't know what
Shabbos is. And And on Shabbos, he has
like you're different on the weekend.
Something We're trying to figure you
out. We don't know. You're different on
the weekends.
Why are you hooding them that it was
Shabbos? To Yidden that was Shabbos.
I think all this is important cuz this
Amalek doesn't want this. That a people
is so attached to Hashem deeply. It
doesn't Of course And the reason we do
what we do is because of who we are. And
then we're drawing Yidden Yidden keep
sha- Yidden not Shabbos. Yidden not the
Am Kadosh. It's our name.
Our name doesn't mean We're called
Yidden. Doesn't mean we say thank you.
We're thankers. That's why we say thank
you cuz we're Yidden. Not we're Yidden
cuz we say thank you. It's our name.
Just what we are. A Yid is very kosher
to Hashem. It's a bri- Anybody learns
Tanya and learns Sefarim that's a
neshama of a Yid. A special neshama. And
he's shiyach to that. And you could plug
into that.
I'll be I'm going to tell you the truth.
When I came here, I saw my son in shul
would say shiurim. He would talk about
like what we are. What is Purim? And I
would like sit there and say, "What
should I do? I don't know what he's
saying. What should I do?"
I've changed. I want to know what the
day is. You know what I should do? I'm
shiyach to the day.
And there is activities. And there's
avodah, of course. You should do
everything. You should have a lot, of
course.
But I'm I want to know who I am. When I
know who I am, sit down. Plug in. I'll
be me.
I'll be me and I'll plug into what I am.
I'll plug into the things that I'm
shiyach have Like Yidden my sire? To
Yidden that was tired. A Yid mamish I
have to tire mamish. He's connected to
her. He's energized by Torah. Torah
resonates within him. He sees his own
self in Torah. He sees his own story in
Torah. He has his own deep profound
connection like who do my sire.
There was some cut Yidden the Yom Tov
and Shabbos the Yid is that in Seforim
it says the Talmud Chacham's called
Shabbos. I was mechaven. I met Rav
Obrelander. I said to friends that I
said to friends late in his life I said
to friends the man is Shabbos. I saw
afterwards in Seforim Talmud Chacham
called Shabbos. It's another name for
Talmud Chacham. They're called Shabbos.
Why is the Talmud Chacham called
Shabbos? A mystical Yid a mystical Yid a
Shabbos. Oh you see Shabbos nice to meet
you Shabbos.
An emesdikker Yid is Shabbos. That's
what he's called.
We don't We don't We're not just keepers
of Shabbos. We are Shabbos. To the
Yidden that were Shabbos. We're mamish
Shabbos. We're shiyach to Shabbos. We're
kosher to Shabbos. We're
It's very It That's why it fits so
stark.
When Yidden steigen it always looks very
comfortable to good bechinah on somebody
steigen. If it's uncomfortable you try
to figure out what's happening or what's
going on. When a Yid steigen it looks
It looks even even it guides in
learning. My father was very careful
that he learned certain ways. He felt
that he was rooted in pshat. Seforim
talk about this. Rebbe Shmuel has
Nishmas Leah and Rachel and talks about
how they should learn.
My father felt that his neshama was
rooted in pshat. He said the Pnei
Yehoshua said that on himself. And he
didn't And he didn't deny other things
in learning. He said that's not for me.
And he mined and demanded pshat. And
like was a kana'i for it. It instructs
cuz cuz a Yid is Torah and there's and
there's and there's cheilek. Give me my
cheilek in Torah. With I've asked Yids.
I like when people have their vert and
their different tire. I used I used to
talk to Yeshiva this.
Don't say word, say your word. Rebbe
Bunim of Shishka used to tell people
what's what God tell you you take I knew
call a turkey what I should tell you. I
don't know the answer. I don't know.
What I should tell you you are tired.
What's being said? What are you saying?
What are you absorbing in tire?
I you who the Messiah to the Yidden had
tire. We had our tire. The tire we wore
tire. We were deeply kosher the tire.
That's what I want to express in the
Messiah. I want this idea and we're
called Yidden in the Megillah we're
thankers. Now teach your children to say
name sure but deeper yet teach them that
we're thankers. Make sure they know that
it in this must be strong like thanks
that's by the way know it yourself get
in touch. Study it see if it's true.
But I think you'll discover we really
are Yidden.
That we're thankers. That's like that's
just what we do. That's that's who we
are. Just being us.
So that's that's that's what I wanted to
share with the
wow wow.
Fresh marrows is really beautiful.
>> [snorts]
>> I asked I asked the cashier today. I
asked the cashier of Shraggy that I
think it's a very solid cashier. I'm not
looking that somebody's mask into my
blood.
I don't know the answer. It's a cash I
thought about the last couple of years
and I'm thinking in this year certain
thing hit me
I have a cash on the Megillah.
Yankee the entire Megillah from
beginning to end is one recounting of an
ace. Korea Zula hollows to celebrate
Nissan and we read this this is the nice
of Purim and every detail teller fits
the miracle. Every subtle detail man
plays in Vashti, Esther and Mordecai
going through what she goes through.
Every detail creates the name of them.
There's one part of this I've asked big
tell me the no like hey I didn't I
didn't have this one part of the story
it doesn't seem to have to the miracle.
The story that Haman is
leads and leads Mordecai
it's wonderful. It's
some people's favorite part of the
what does it have to do with the nice?
It does not before he let him we were in
trouble and after Haman leaves Mordecai
call yourself the same
clear.
It doesn't seem to have any
to the story of the miracle zero so I
you know the day between if if Mordecai
played Haman pickleball and won 11
nothing I'd be thrilled very good day
and I
and I'd make the first one I drew it
from
an embarrassed me should have no points
and I don't think about pickleball that
is the best
but let's say beat him 11 nothing but
has no
to the nice wonderful.
I'm so it's like literally it's like
it's what to the story.
It didn't change anything. Now I want to
express that
remembering
that he owed Mordecai something that you
could say
to the story.
But
that kind of to the story maybe even
later Haman wants to kill Mordecai and
wink wink Mordecai is but Haman being
embarrassed and Mordecai being
celebrated okay it's great. I'm so happy
Haman went to the
after that story before that story he
wanted to kill
Mordecai got covered what changed in the
story a fellow.
It's a fellow and the whole is story,
every detail fits. You can't find a
detail that's not relevant to the nice
of the netzach and of klal Yisrael
winning. This detail is like when people
get like, "Huh, I never thought of such
a good story, Daniel. Did you ever think
about this, Daniel? This part of the
story is like
Yankev, what are you holding a
discussion? It has no shiyachus to the
netzach.
Yes, what do you say?
It's funny, there's no continuum from
there.
Esther speaks to Achashverosh and we say
it doesn't
There's no verch from there to this.
It's just an I He loses 11 nothing in
pickel geschmack. And then rather next
day, Esther tells us it's no
There's no You can't be mamshich from
there. Nothing further happens.
Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm thinking
this year, Yankev. I thank you I Yeah, I
like that a lot. I'm thinking that a
lot, yes, that I look at the Avinu
Malkeinu as this haramas keren Yisrael
amacha.
The prestige of am Yisrael and then
there's Mashiach.
I want to express that part of the
geulah is knowing a Yid is a big thing.
That's the whole story of the megillah,
what we're talking about. The Yid,
nishmas Yisrael, kedushas Yisrael. And
Amalek defies kedushas Yisrael.
Mordechai, our leader, being getting
covered with haramas keren Yisrael,
you're it's it is it is a yeshua of
sorts. Haramas keren Yisrael, klal
Yisrael felt a Yid. It's the Yid.
Before there's like a Yid of Haman's
gezeirah klal Yisrael,
there's a there's a shiflus of a year.
Haramas Keren Yisrael is a big deal.
In a certain That's the first thing
before not them, there's a gullah
There's another gullah. The first thing
is how it comes Haramas Keren Yisrael.
Yidden will restore the dignity of Klal
Yisrael. That's the yeshua in itself in
its own right. Haramas Keren Yisrael. Of
course, we still needed Mashiach. We're
still in a deep hole. It was a problem,
but that alone is the yeshua. A yid to
know what a yid is is a yeshua already.
Wow. Of course, there's another problem
this and then we dive into Mashiach.
There's two tfilos. Haramas Keren
Yisrael and Keren Mashiach. This Haramas
Keren Yisrael a yid our dignity was
restored. I think so. I think that's
what happened What happened that day is
Klal Yisrael looked.
Everybody looked
and there's a big sugya. By the way,
maybe Haramas Keren Yisrael caused that.
Maybe that caused a a probably
bevasachas. Klal Yisrael was remembered
we're Yidden and then we got a
tremendous
Haramas Keren Yisrael is a big deal.
When a yid remembers he's a yid, it
brought I want to say this. People are
knocking Yidden. It bothers me in two
ways. That I'm scared we're human. I
also don't like it cuz a yid is
precious. I don't like it they say bad
things about us cuz not cuz a yid is a
big thing. They knock a yid. Say
schlechte Sachen on Yidden. Yidden are
are honest. We're the most honest
people. Yidden are honest. Check ever
chazal say Yidden are dishonest. It's
not true. Not true. It's not a truth.
Yidden are very honest. We value money
cuz we actually tzaddikim. We actually
value this world more than most cuz we
actually hold it's a beautiful place.
So, the guy mixed that up. Tzaddikim and
tzaddikim minus same. We think money's
very precious.
We build nice house cuz it's like a big
deal. When I moved to Waterbury, my wife
and I bought a house from a sports
writer and the house was a wreck and we
fixed it up nice and I I and walked with
my wife and I was feeling badly. Said
the guy lived in a
match when I needed nice.
And I thought about it and it's partial.
My wife said we have Shabbos soon this
year we have
like a big thing with it. You don't have
the base of migdos looking schlocky.
It's a big thing. We're having Shabbos
day it has to
has to be beautiful for Shabbos. We're
going to have
it has to be nice. So then we say you
guys are so into money. I hear okay.
Yeah, we value this world we do.
But you're not precious. You're not
loyal to countries anywhere we've been.
We're loyal they say you have dual
loyalties. The dual loyalty says to be
the nicest says
dual loyalty that's the problem. You
serve God or else you know what God is
is a
rahum and
and the any country that's had us has
been blessed in history. It's crazy.
When they knock the year whoever has us
we're like we're loyal. We pay we pay
tax. We're not Whoever has us given.
Europe's doing without the year today.
And he hits out. You guys really great
trade you made you know. Two teams
pardon my word sports mind. There are a
lot of famous trades a team gives up
like a guy who never can play and they
they give and they give up a guy like
who's an all star and get back a guy who
can't play. The worst trade in the
history of humanity. They traded the
year Europe's doing
very the year is loyal. It bothers me it
besides this fear of the it bothers me
cuz it's shacker you it's very precious.
The answer to these people dual
loyalties all these things. Dual loyalty
they're loyal to God who teaches them
mahu
teaches them morality who are actually
citizens who care to pay taxes. Actually
citizens who care to obey laws. They're
actually citizens who uphold law.
I I was talking to a Yidden care safer.
I was like thinking about the a big city
that has no need for a police station.
No, a Yid is.
In our cities, the people who are living
in the stick again, you don't need
police stations.
If a lost item is found, they return it.
It's crazy to say bad about a Yid. A Yid
is wild. A Yid returns things that he
finds on the floors. They're more honest
people in the world. If we find
something, we return it. We're we're
wild.
We have DNA mominus that we take very,
very seriously. We ask shylers and
questions. We care about countries and
we care about everybody around us.
Go ask who says thank you. I talk about
Yihudim. Go to a park anywhere who ask
any honest guy who gives him the most
ask in the Bronx who says thank you to
some guard security guard there. The
Yid's the one who every Yid says thank
you, thank you, thank you. Yidden are
wild. We're the ones who are thanking
the most, the ones who are cleaning up
the most, the ones of course. Cuz we're
the Am Hashem.
The first step of Yeshua's Haramas Karen
Yisrael. A Sometimes we ourselves
forget. So I say, Yidden are
No, Yidden are wildly impressive. I
promise. We forget. We hear some
meshugana say something and is a Yid
perfect? We're in galus. We we sometimes
have a forgetting who we are. It
happens. Not the typical Yidden are
remarkably special. Ask any honest
person who thanks the most in the park.
It's It's not a question. Ask any person
a tall guy who gives him the warmest
hellos, the warmest thank you.
Of course, anybody is just obvious. Just
true.
Could a guy also that's a that's a a
good guy.
The Yidden bring that Am Hashem. The
nishmas Yisrael is a very elevated
neshama. We're the thankers. We're the
people who who are the who are trying to
tire mitzvahs. We're people who are
shiyach to Shabbos, to Yom Tov, to to
tfillin, to milah.
So I want to express that the the story
of the Yeshua comes in two parts. That
it's interesting Zera is Haman were used
to the only problem is that we're going
to get killed. There was a problem that
a Yid was shmatter. The Yid shouldn't be
low like that. We don't see that as the
problem. Haman was going to say clear.
The Yeshua is not just Yidden were
saved. Part of the problem is he said
lashon hara on Yidden. Yesh Maya Melech
the same shainess. They're not they're
not good for country.
Haman chutzpah. That the best for our
country a if the knew they
would have a Mashiach shouldn't come.
Maybe that's why Hashem doesn't let them
know. Be a bishlechta zach. So they
should know even when Mashiach comes
will be good to the whole world also.
A Yid A Yid is a ma'aridik mitzius. A
Yid is a precious a gift. It's a gift to
to lift up the world to inspire to
encourage. That's a Yehudi.
People forget. People mamash forget.
They hear such lashon hara they forget.
Then you step back you're like we're
very good people.
So that's what I want to express the
this part of the Yeshua the chiddush.
That that Mordechai is is is celebrated.
You say what does that have to do with
the Yeshua? It has nothing to do with
the fact that Haman was killed and the
gzeira clear. It has to do with you said
you mamash but it has to be spoken out.
The gzeira was Yidden shelved. What if
we went to the party? We were so busy
chashboning what's the going to
think and our insecurities.
We forget that we're Yehudim. That's not
that's not for us.
We were busy near kol am. The whole
aveira of going to the party was we
forgot what a Yid is. So Mordechai
walking through the streets mamash
bechavod gadol. That's the first issue.
Ahasuerus carrying his throne.
A Yid. It's a big thing.
Amelech chofetz bikarov. It's it's big
thing.
That's the first issue. We didn't even
see that as the problem.
That was the issue.
So, let's see it as the problem. That's
the problem a shake of what it is and
feeling we're so busy as the country. We
look up is this the country the
president's with us.
I shouldn't be busy with that. That's
That's to me that's the eating from the
party of today. We're like so busy.
We're so busy to make sure to make sure
we align. It's not What are you talking?
People forget there's a hoodie that I'm
a sham.
We forget these things. So, we're like
busy checking up to make sure.
Are they saying is he saying
We're falling for something. There's
something called a hoodie. Remember what
a it is. Remember what a it is. Be true
to being a it. If it sounds it's not a
gift. Hashem gifted us. Let us gifted us
with something. A guy is wonderful. A it
in matter of fact it's a gift. It's a
very big gift that Hashem the same way
to Israel he made a gift to the entire
people. A gift to the entire people. It
is a gift. It means something. There's
something called a gift to the world
that elevates the world that has brought
tremendous beauty to the world that
respects the world that it that that's
people a gift that I'm a sham.
So, that's what I wanted to share with
my friends. I had one more thought in
the Megillah I'm going to leave out cuz
it's late already. But there's what I
wanted to share. If there's not if
because we're we should remember the
prestige of a gift to be an official to
see
holding a sham that was a messiah of the
prestige of a mom.
Dignity of a it walked around
tremendously dignified. That was like
that was his his messiah. It was a gift.
A gift he got what a it is.
I don't know what kind of soul we should
see speedily in our day. And of course
what follows is the coming of Messiah.
Amen.
>> [clears throat]
>> I think I'm going to go
The reason I have this thing on is I'm
That's what I'm doing. That's what I'm
doing.
