is there to provide please do your utmost to help in any way you can this week we are going to be doing capital and K chapters 107 and 108 in's masterful saf to and so we begin with K now for some of you it may seem familiar probably not for many of you but this capit is not the regular har that we speak of that we say in but a different Hal a different praise that is said by many an AR shabas and in this chapter we go through many of the events that happened that clol needs to give praise for we know that four four people need to give thanks they need to give their gratitude and they are people who was released from prison people who passed through a desert people who went through a sea and finally somebody who was healed from an illness so says the G the truth is that the Jewish people did all of that we were freed from prison by we were in MIT which was a prison and then we passed through a desert of course we went through a sea and finally at our SII we were healed the Jewish people have to give thanks and praise to for our very existence you know I want to tell you that the the great Cher says that each person goes through these challenges or some of these challenges every week we go through spiritual prisons where during the week we have to go to work we have to go to our jobs and we face all types of Miss all types of challenges we feel like we're imprisoned we go through a desert of spirituality we go through Seas of difficulties and of course we have to be healed from the difficulties and the challenges that we face so therefore all of these things that happen US during the week we have to give praise for them of shabas when we've survived the weeks so this chapter is said is recited by many it's called H that's the way the call it where they give thanks and praise to hasem every AR shabas KES before they D now when I originally um wrote this Capital um in a weekly series in the ated many years back was about 10 years ago I actually wrote this chapter on the week that there was a great tragedy it was the week that three Israeli teenagers boys bam were kidnapped at a bus stop as they were hitchhiking to their homes their names naali Frankl gilad sh Andra those three B were neb killed and for 18 days Jews everywhere were United to try to save these at the time of this recording we are daving and praying and hopefully by the time you see this those people will be saved Hashem should answer our prayers but 230 people were captured in the Sim Tyra Massacre and after they were captured and after we received the word of their demise of their death I wrote a letter to their families I'd like to read it to you because I'd like to tell you what we did and what we should what we should all do in times of challenge my name is yil Spiro and I am spending the first part of my summer at camor Golding where I spent my summer months 10 years ago 600 something boys ranging in age from 7 to 15 campers are American boys who enjoy what all American boys enjoy sports and games and fun and Outdoors and it's really a great Camp Friday afternoon before shabas it's a challenge getting the boys off of the courts into the showers so they can prepare readily for shabas and we came up with an idea when we received word of the tragic death of your children so we were all in shock and we cried and we decided we have to do something and we came up with an idea when we heard that your children were missing gar and Le Steinman had encouraged participation of a shabas before cabala shabas and the news of your children's deaths we thought would be a good time to implement a Seder that lasts as an everlasting Memorial to your children now I wrote this 10 years ago and 10 years later although I'm not still in that camp but the camp has an incredible incredible seder every ER of chabas it's called ESPN which happens to be the name of a very popular sports channel but it's enter shabis properly now so think about that uh the first week 262 boys came they learned for a half hour 131 hours of liod it's happened every every single chabas over the last 10 years andem it will continue we all need to DAV and to thank Hashem every moment of every day sometimes we can't catch our breath but when we do have a chance to stop and breathe when we have a chance to look back at the week and to thank Hashem for so many things we need to know that we have to give thanks and gratitude to the r sham and we have to enter shabas properly now every chabas no matter where we are if we're in Camp and most of the weeks were not we have to thank Hashem we have to sayu for saving us for taking care of us and for bringing Yeshua Shu and Nas to the entire world I ended off that they come for our boys because your children were known as our boys I wrote in the letter and they come so they will never forget and neither will we should send the Yeshua for all those that need we move on to the next Capital Cap chapter 108 and we say in this Capital very famous words that we recite in so that your beloved ones may be released let your right hand save and respond to me well again at that time and again now um our children were held in captivity I say our children because every child in CL every person in is and that um war or operation was known as operation protective Edge and of course we were we were hoping for the best we were hoping hoping to hear good news which ultimately we would receive news that was not so good and the of three precious children and at that time I received an email from a young man who was serving in Gaza at the time and again it's so appropriate now it's unbelievable but um I sent him a letter of kuk he was a toalet of mine who was serving in Gaza and he gave me much more than I could ever give him because he wrote me back I haven't been able to find enough time over the last few days to describe what things are like here but had I gotten around to writing something it probably would have looked very similar I've been up through the past few nights on missions however I am committed to giving a DA here when I have some time during the day there is no doubt that there's something inspiring about this experience and he writes that there was a lone soldier who came from Texas to serve in the IDF who was killed a few days ago one of his friends posted online it would be nice if some people came to the levia 20,000 people came the next day another lone Soldier a soldier who had nobody there for him in so all of his brothers and sisters came 30,000 the next day and he writes there are tons of stories to tell and hopefully when this all ends there will be time to tell them got to run now so here we are uh 10 years later and the same challenges face krro and we have the same of Le so that your beloved ones may be released let your right hand save and respond to me somebody told me another story a story that happened this time around where there was again a lone soldier who was killed in the Sim Massacre and at that time his father came from America to his levia in he hoped he would make it on time because in in generally they like to bury the people as soon as they find out is not to let bodies stay overnight he made it on the way he was an not in the mitzah of chilling he's not allowed to put on chilling but he turned to the next to him an irreligious Jew and they asked him if he'd be able to wear the Fillin for him the fellow readily agreed and so did the person behind him and the person behind him by the time the flight was over tens perhaps a few hundred decided to help to share the burden to do a Mitzvah to do something we askem to release those who are imprisoned both those who are imprisoned physically as well as the many Yen around the world who are imprisoned and struggle because they feel their prisoners in their own lives may hasem save them and protect them until next time Z
