Rabbi Mordechai Finkelman | SPECIAL PRE-CHANUKAH SHIUR | CHAZAQ

[Music] and his uh staff at kak all You Who Came I appreciate the opportunity to address kak it's a tremendous strength not only to people who need kirov we all need kir I am a of and the greata who I was under most of my years was he was known as the first American God and while I was a the uh organization called Jeep Jewish Education Program began at that time and uh Yesa gave them an office to be able to run the organization out of an office in our building and in addition to that spoke to us the whole Bas medish about giving some time for the program to be ma of public school children and when encouraging us so he's speaking to us that as bakarim we don't have money to give Myer from and he's spending money our parents give us they already took Myer from it and they're giving it to us that we should be able to buy ourselves something they're not interested that we should give Myer again you know for the money they give us but he said a yes could give my from his time and he encouraged us to participate in the Jep programs and Thena said as follows but don't just interest yourself in in bringing people who are distance from Hashem close to Hashem is equally important he said the B is sitting right next to you also needs K of you can give him time excuse me help him learn better help him understand the gamar better so is a I think for everybody it's not only organization of but I think that we are lot of and is a that all of us all of cloud could become a of closer to as an introduction I'm just going to mention a thought from the sh one of the um one of the ideas that the had among their many decrees was right on the horns of an ax that you have no part in the idea was we should see this writing a person becomes what we eat has a big effect on us to be so careful with the the F coer otherwise it clogs this spiritual system what we read what we listen to the music we listen to has a tremendous effect on our spiritual system everything has an effect Thea just the atmosphere alone I told AB bam this morning a true story that a now he's a married man but at that time he was a b in Lander College he used to come to speak to me every now and then during their lunch break and one he asked me if I could explain the following story to him this fellow isab tra the only observant person in his whole family and he's he was a good B toyra but his Beginnings were without toy Al together he had a doctor's appointment in mid Manhattan a block away from Madison squ Garden excuse me I'm sorry he left the doctor's office to go back to the subway to get back to l College to the B medish and he passed by a stand where they were selling DVDs of movies of movies from the theater and he recognized a good number of movies that he had seen before he became a benra and theara got the better of him he said you know that weren't so bad what happens if I would see it now wouldn't really hurt and he bought three of these discs to take back with himself and to watch thank you very much and to watch the film thanks he said to me that as the train came closer as the subway train came closer to Q Gardens Hills he started to feel uncomfortable that he bought these films and he got out of the train station and he was walking towards the Yeshiva and he passed by one of these large attractive Green Round canisters for garbage that they they have here in the neighborhood and he took out all three discs and dropped them in the garbage pil he paid for them so he was giving up the money that he paid for them he dropped them in the garbage pail he said what happened he asked me I said it's very P sural the atmosphere we are in has a tremendous effect on us you were in mid Manhattan the theater center of of the world is Manhattan I said MIT was one big Time Square but you were you weren't far away on 34th Street near Madison Square Garden so you saw these discs on sale the atar because Thea is pulsing with impurity it's pulsing with it you bought it the closely you came to such a neighborhood that once upon a time had one theater now it has none the the one on Main Street is closed as far as the theater's concerned so you came to close closer and closer to a pure atmosphere not burn in your pocket you felt uncomfortable with these films by the time it came close to the Yeshiva building you just dumped it in the garbage pail the vibrations of the kadha everything affects us the up here the breath of is very sensitive and it's affected either upward or downward by everything that we do so among the decrees of the of the Greeks was to write on the horns of an axe that we have no part in KES why the horns of an axe there are two reasons one is probably more than two but two that I've seen that we were farmers in AR Isel and we seen the gamaro what animal pulled the plow The Oxen pulled the plow so all day long while we'd work we'd see that statement we have no part or is the they used you have no part in reading things that are negative it's alive in the we can't read things that that make our mind impure that was one shat it was we were farmers and we'd see it all day on the accent that we used but of crood brother to grown here in Q Gardens he was and he said a different he said in the days of the Greeks so many years ago they didn't have the even flow baby bottle company to make plastic and glass baby bottles so what they do with a child who needed a bottle to drink from they took the Horn of an ax it's just the right size and they would hollow out the horn and drill a small hole in the bottom just enough for the baby to suck the milk out of and they knew that our starts with a baby even before the baby baby's born the mother that's carrying the child is so careful to play only good music around herself cuz has an effect there's a child developing and then when the baby is born how many parents they put in you know cards that they combine this farm store with different Shamus of Hashem and different things that will the baby doesn't understand anything when it's newborn but we believe the hash is there if you go to Target or Walmart you could buy a um you know the that turns and there music that's playing but not CD player no the the Carell that they do attach to the crib you know and and it plays music and the child sees colors but in the farm stores they sell it with Jewish music and with instead of pictures of of um Disney characters they have Mitzvah on colorful Mitzvah on the picture or I've seen parents who put pictures of G on those on that Carousel the turns around over the crib but the idea is we know that starts when the baby's a baby and it's it's sensitive so they've said we want on the baby battles the words it's interesting that the medish in and that speaks about the four so it says that in those when it says darkness that represents the the Gus of Greece of Yon they wanted to make our our our sight dark they didn't want us to see the light of toyra they weren't they weren't against our living it wasn't like hon or Hitler that they wanted to to kill every Jew in the world they hated Jews well like these people today who will protest in honor of barbaric murderers you know we all wonder if it happened to them to their families would they still be all in favor of these people of course not but is an enemy of and that's the way it is and says and we learned it this week in Yesa in ter and the dreams that had about the different Exiles of clown Israel so he he he dreamed about a the statue of a man and the head was gold which represented himself all the way till the feet the feet were a combination of Steel and pottery and Porcelain and in the end of the dream a rock came and and smashed the whole statue but crumbled the porcelain to sand to dust the combination of Steel and Porcelain the M explained was the final Gus Ed Ando but the Z says that in the end of Gus Ed the world power of Edom will disappear which it did Russia the Red country fell apart in the 1980s and the rains would be given over to ismo they would end the GS but they will crumble to dust in the end that was the dream that had but we're living through it and we see it and it will happen but the the darkness that says in the med that's always y because they they they didn't want to kill us they wanted to pollute the yish kite they only they didn't go to war against us we started the war the 13 who saw that the Jews were were assimilating with the Greeks by the droves the war was 13 Kash against an army of Greeks and Jews who assimilated and were against their own Brothers the the the guilt of seeing their Religious brothers was tremendous and when a person feels guil they want to get rid of the the other person the it's like like a ter before he did tra and he comes home andu proves to him that the idols have no power he was so frustrated so what are you what are you doing you're frustrated and you don't want to admit you're wrong what does a parent do get rid of the kid get rid of the kid I not get rid of the thing you have wrong in the house or whatever it is you can't be in this house you're telling me what to do so he gave him to Nite so n tried his best to convince but everything that n said AB had a response and then Li was frustrated he was proven wrong and if you don't ad don't want to admit you're wrong when you are actually wrong what's the what do we do get rid of the person throws him into the fire that's what he does he throws the person into the fire so the only time they wanted to kill us is when they saw we didn't listen to their decrees we wouldn't let them pollute our yish they wanted us not to have a Brisa they said what do you mean your body is different than the body of of anybody else we're all the same shabas no chabas there's no day of the week that's different every day is the same there's no Holiness the body is not holy the only thing the body is good for his Beauty they idolized the beauty they exploited the body like like like it's done since the beginning of the movie industry it's exploiting the body today last few decades it's exploiting violence as well but there was a time that even though mum were not so violent and they wouldn't let such films be eared but today it's either immorality or violence that entertains the people in in the in the in the best I mean what the cartoons all about different characters beating each other up that's what it's about constantly you know but we are a very refined and uh people who don't appreciate violence don't want violence and that frustrated them so their goal was noes no holidays cuz every day is the same everybody is the same every person is the same just have a good time that that that was their that was y yet the only thing the medish mentions is this the medish only mentions when it says that Yan Greece was the Exile that darkened our sight it says because they told us to write on the Horn of an axe why doesn't the medish list taking away rashes taking away shabas taking away bris because the ultimate goal of shabas and bris Andes is really to be attached to that's the goal of every Jew to be attached to doesn't need our he doesn't need our shab doesn't need anything but gave us these Mitzvah so we could be attached to himler in his part his about kindness so he writes there the word a love comes from the root word have to give the more you give the more you love a a person that's a big taker doesn't develop love he he'll he'll use people he'll take more and more he'll say thank you he'll appreciate will not develop love when a person invests in someone else or in something then they get a love for it a person that puts himself into a m into an organization they really feel an attachment a person that puts himself into his car and is always polishing it and and puts his quadrophonic stereo into the trunk and lives in it he'll love his car even though it sounds silly to us but there are people who might say I love my car or I love my house I enjoy my house B I appreciate the house but the word love is powerful I would never say I love it an inanimate object you could love a fellow Jew you could love t love Hashem like hate the is also a powerful Lan it can't be used on on unimportant things but out there in the world there's a lot of love for unimportant things says that in Ines a lot of words are spelled similarly because they are similar the Mal has a whole saer on it called she him similar nouns why they're similar L I'll give an example of one that that's very understandable used it Reb Wolfson SCH Z is a song Zion me zo on chabas one of the 39 that we can't do on chabas is pruning pruning a tree pruning a rose bush you cut down the branches so it grows better next season right that's zo why are they the same because proper music cuts down the barriers between us and Hashem it brings us closer to Hashem improper music builds barriers between us and and you could see it in the dancing more than once I've gone gone over to a band leader and I said look what you are doing to these people on the night of a wedding a wedding is so holy look at the dancing it's like a disco you're taking all the Holiness away and one time the fellow changed pretty recently less than a year ago you know I I went to speak to the guy who's doing the the sound I tried him first cuz it was so loud and I tried to tell him you know it it's not fine it's so loud so he handed me a whole plastic case of earplugs that was his response so I went over to the singer and I said is it possible to sing something Jewish I know it was Hebrew words he was thinking but it was nothing Jewish just Hebrew words the the absolute music and dancing and the beat was totally disco so I said this is a wedding it's a yisha wedding it's a holy night could you sing something Jewish and he right away changed the song and he did he listened but a different time the band leader said to me you know this is what they asked for the kids I want them all to hire me for their wedding I said so you're willing to cause people to sin so you make money you know you're selling your soul to the devil for a dollar bill you have to tell them I can't play this music this is a wedding it's a wedding it's a Jewish wedding that's what the wanted to do to us to pollute the they said you could stay open could stay open but you have to also bring non kosher animals on the no problem you want your daughter to marry a no problem as long as she first lives with the Gentile governor before she goes to her then she can go to her it's fine you can make it Jewish wedding but first they wanted to pollute nothing holy nothing pure that bothered them they didn't want to kill us that's why on Pur H wasn't against our T after all that wasn't his problem he wanted to kill every Jew so therefore when made the of part of the celebration we make a on the meal because we we got our life back but by Kaneka where it wasn't a question of physical life they didn't want to kill us we made the war the made the war so therefore there's no Mitzvah to have a sud when we have a sud says if you want to make sure it'sah we'll sing a Jewish song so it becomes azah but by just washing and eating is a sud this Mitzvah already we hope we say the very but we don't have to because it was a different whole different War the war of Kaneka where they wanted to darken our eyes so instead of mentioning every one of their decrees individual mitv ofes they're all for the same purpose to bring us close to Hashem love comes from giving so the more we give the more we love hasem gave usak mitz to give him that's what is about the G inad Compares honoring a parent to honoring Hashem because parents automatically love their children they're forever doing for the children it was a beautiful story I guess about 60 years ago when square town began and and today today's re his father's was the re then they started with about 30 families in square town and they applied to the federal government for political autonomy they wanted to have they they do have their own elections that own mayor so they can make certain laws that are good for them in in in in yish in Judaism so they didn't just get all political they didn't just get the the right to vote and have their own Mar which they do governor Nelson Rockefeller came down to square town to get a tour of the town and see what it's like and see if he agrees to give them their own elections and their own mayor and he was very impressed and he came in to speak to theare afterwards now he comes in and there had to be an interpreter because that rer did not speak English he came from Europe he didn't speak English so so the the governor asks the rebba he said you have a beautiful town here I'm very willing to give you your own your own mayor and your own elections but I have one question for you every house has so much land around it you know it's close to M New York different place a lot of land around the houses and all you have around each house in that land is grass and some shrubs you know some little green bushes no Landscaping no layered Gardens no slate Rock no lights shining on the why don't you do something something about the Landscaping you you have the land for it so the square Reb responded to him he said Landscaping takes time planning effort money did you see our children did you see the schools we put all our effort all our time all our planning all our money into our children we don't have time and money for landscaping we don't have it and to this day there are now a couple of thousand houses there probably and all the same grass little bushes neat no problem with the neatness but no big decorations because we put everything in we love the children how they love us so Hashem gave them they also have to do things for the parents and the gor Compares it to honoring Hashem Hashem doesn't need the parents don't need the child to bring them this sers or to get up for them the parents don't need cover I doubt there's a parent here who wants who feels I want my child to get up for me but it's we have a Mitzvah to teach the children that when we come in from outside from shopping or a father from their smish or a father from work or a mother from work child has to get up and we have to teach them that because they have to develop a love which doesn't come from taking comes from giving from doing for someone else that's who devel love the more a person puts into his T more he loves the T more he puts into his daving he starts to love davening that's how it works some people love food because that's what they put their their interest in and their preparation time in and their dream in so it all depends and that's why the only thing mentioned in the medish is right on the Horn of an axe you have no part Ines because that was the real goal that's what they wanted to accomplish they wanted to take us away fromes that was their goal all the other things were a means of stopping us from giving toes so that they would break the relationship because it's uncomfortable for them here they're idolizing the body if you if you if you lift weights and you muscle bound then you're worth something if you don't you're worth nothing they walked around without their shirts on things that is to walk around like that when when they started having these tight clothing for men I spoke about I still speak about because there are only two rules in in not following the ways of the only two rules in the clothing one is if it's for aara which almost doesn't exist today they're not so religious there's very few clothing for aara and the second is for pritus to to make to create Temptation for people so women always had these laws you cannot cover your knees you can't wear some too tight men had no problem until about a dozen years ago when they started making tight pants tight shirts I remember the first time I saw it at a wedding first time I saw it I really didn't know about the new style and and a former staff member who worked in Camp for me came over to say ma to me and I really thought to myself what a bid what a kind guy he wants to look like a clown for the probably to dance later so he a whole night he dressed like a clown to come here already to make cuz the suit was so tight it was you could see the lines pulling when it was button wasn't a fat guy but the suit was very tight and short not not long enough a jacket to really cover what's supposed to be covered pants were tight big bow tie small brim it I wasn't I didn't know these things would came into style I wasn't aware until I saw a few people like that it all came at one time like it was a sudden change I said oh wait a second he's not dressed like a clown that's a star a lot of guys are dressed like that and that's when when it started but became you know people want to be in style so they're willing to wear things that are too small and and uh probably uncomfortable I can't imagine it's easy to sit in pants that are so tight but if it's the style it's worth it it's worth being uncomfortable to be in style but I spoke about it that's for pret why do they want us to wear such Ty clothing men we should be noticed people should you know to create Ty that's the whole purpose that's the purpose of it that's what they want to do they want to pollute ourish and that's the end OFA they have to be aware of it so the way the what they do they broke into the BAM Mish they made they made breaks in the walls they didn't destroy the basam Mish they weren't out to do that think about that also did you ever wonder the shabas says that they were Mame the oil for the man isn't that a waste of time for the for the Greeks they have to open up the drug to be mam the oil it's not so simple why don't you take it's porcelain jugs they weren't they weren't steel take a a little lady's Hammer you're not even a men's hammer and smash each one and the oil will run all over the floor and there'll be no lighting of the Mana instead they will metame the oil you could light the Mana still why do they do that cuz we don't mind if you light the Mana but if it's lit with oil that's tummy it'll give off a negative vibration it won't it won't make you holy it'll make make you Unholy that was the goal the goal wasn't to ruin the oil and turn off the Mana the goal was the Mana should be should be full of Tuma and you mean very well they really mean well whatever they do I have no I I I I know the people who do this mean to make the Mitzvah fun for the kids they mean they mean very well they don't mean badly but they don't realize how holy lighting the Mana is I went to a Judea store and now in this neighborhood and I saw a Mana a bar with eight lights and a shamas a little bit higher each light is a different Disney character am Mana am Mana am Mana you're you're a kind God in the b m when you light him in no but the children will have fun they're going to like Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse they have not supposed to have fun lighting manira they're supposed to be Regal lighting manira even a child even a child it's like a muza mza is a Mitzvah I saw one one of the stores a clown mza holder for the children's bedroom big ears a big red nose big red shoes and between the chin and the shoes was a loose side belly in which you drop the muza so it could be fun to kiss the muza muza is not fun MIT not meant to be they're meant to be Regal it's Mal we're honoring Hashem making a mistake they mean well all these artists mean well they don't realize what a Mitzvah is they think it should be fun the child should like tonight you like Minnie and Mickey and the next night you're going to add Elmer fod and Minnie and Mickey it's going to be like wow so much fun fun a man that's not fun you like a you like a like a Mana always tells us a story come about every year about ofin he was called the because he was a seer he he had he knew what other people didn't know and one night to his came a a delegation of three people from a neighboring City where they had a mour a person that told on on a Jewish man gave him over to the government caused them to be killed created because he got money the government paid him he was an evil person thear about him son hedin what happens to these people but they didn't know what to do he didn't listen to The Ron him he would he would he hurt the whole community so they after the rebba finished his lighting his left they gave over the paper with the name of this man and they told the reab he's a m the re should do something about it with his with his tremendous powers that he has he looks at at the paper he said this man he's radiant in all the world he's he's he's a holy person I'm sorry I don't know what you're talking about they couldn't believe it this is the this is the the and they took the paper back and they couldn't go home because it was night time you can't travel on dark roads at night it was you know hundreds of years ago there were no lit up roads they stayed till the next morning after shakas so they went back they figured I'll try a second time and they gave him the paper and they told him he looked oi o this man is unbelievable he's he's a murderer he's a terrible person and he took the paper and he put it into the flame of the candle on his table you know that's that's how they red in those days with a candle and he said go home he will he will not be a problem anymore so said can I asked re question he said sure last night we gave the same paper to the Reb re said this person I don't see what you're talking about he's radiating in all the worlds last night when you gave me that paper he was lighting his Mana when he lights the Mana and when when you bend over that man and anybody who's Yi with your lighting it could be you know the rest of the family as well but when we light that there in honor of because that whole atmosphere of Miracles comes down for eight days again and this year for nine days because the last day is Friday and it goes into chabas goes into the shabas so always tells us shabas welcomes the guest doesn't push away a y it takes the Y with it until shabas but all these days of are days that when we light that man we we're telling really we have a a down here that's the M that we are responsible to life for you and it makes us closer to you but at the same time I'm lighting up my n up here I'm doing such a mitvah I'm thinking about how close you are to us what you did for us so hashem's is our and that's what we're lighting up and that's what we do we light him and that's why the couldn't see negative on this man that's what we accomplish a beautiful story that's brought down about the wife of that she was visiting one KH her own sister who was a very wealthy woman was a re he didn't have much money and after the rich sister saw the's wife crying so she thought that because she was poor and they were lighting a beautiful silver Mana that's why her sister was crying cuz she didn't have the gashi the material Mana that that the sister had so she said don't worry don't worry one day you'll also light a beautiful Mana in your house she said no that's not why I'm crying she said you know I'm missing being at home for we every year for the Mana we cut potatoes in half and dig out a little hole for the oil and each potato half of potato we put out you know nine potatoes half potatoes and we lightened those potatoes she said that's the Malo that we can afford when my husband lights to Mana I see a light of Ganan in the in the olive oil lights I feel the Kad and sweetness of chabas in the whole house every night of Kaneka when he lights those lights I'm missing it she said that's all it's a very simple Mana we have but the feeling is so special when my when my husband liks the man and that's why I'm crying really I I you can have all the silver it's beautiful I'm not missing the silver I'm missing that that because it depends on the kav we have and we like them in and if we realize what we're doing and my taught us that since took away the from G and I'll finish in a few moments but the the before and ate from the from the Tree of confus of of an internal they were created with no internal evil inclination only they had an external the the snake and told them don't take in the don't eat from this tree the confusion go back go back the fruit of this tree makes you confused inside about to makes you think that bad is good and you could do things that you shouldn't do don't eat from it this way you outside and they ate you have to leave G so what was G it says in the medis there was there was such a light that other musan could be in one place and know what's going on all over the world R was called now the the hidden light hasem hid it because evil people could abuse it if they had this power where did Hashem hide it Hashem hid it in the T and that's why sadik who learned t a lot they could see what nobody else can see they know what nobody else can know and we see it to this day you know I just read a story last night about where a couple from Ro the youngest child that was diagnosed with very bad sickness and the doctors nurs said we don't know this sickness in America in such and such a hospital in Upper Manhattan there are doctors who deal with this you must go there and they came in winter time with all their children CU they had no idea how long they'd have to be here so they enoll their children in schools here and they came and they stayed in M you know which is not far from the top of Manhattan and the first shabas they were here they the first they went to the doctors and the doctors you know looked at the tests and and checked them the girl her themselves and they said yes she has this disease she must have a surgery next week she must have a surgery so you'll bring her back you know after after the weekend so for shabas one of them had Parents one of these this couple in B Park they were going to head to B park for shabas and they did but it start to snow and heavier and heavier and heavier and if their life wasn't hard enough they got stuck they couldn't get to B for shabas they got stuck in the Lower East Side and it was just less than an hour before shabas so they they went into was alive then it was a warm place to go into the husband and wife and all the children and he made them some tea he was still before shabas just to warm them up from the the trip it was a long trip hours in the snow and the Shamus saw them saw him asked what happened he told them he said oh you'll still be my guests come to my apartment all of you'll stay by me and over shabas he saw of M and he asked maybe he could bring his daughter for a before they leave back to man so M shabas he was he was given an audience with ra gave a very warm to the girl you know that's he gave a very very warm BR and they went back to man and then they subsequently went back to the hospital and the doctor was doing preop testing to make sure he knows exactly what he's doing and where he's going and what he has to cut and he kept going back and back to the previous test and that day's test and he said this is a miracle she doesn't have any problem anymore she doesn't need a surgery something happened I never saw this before so the man writes of course he never saw didn't give a before and we thought the snowstorm was a headache it was the biggest blessing we could have gotten so the the are in the to always and the near and the near shabas so I'm not holy enough to feel the aronas but I look at the near shabas and then Kan KH especially the half hour that the first half hour that it's lit the first 30 minutes there has to be enough oil for 30 minutes if shabas we put enough to go tilt sa and then 30 minutes at least so us to try to stay by the left for the Whole 30 minutes so as when I was a b so it's not a problem you sing mirrors you say some someing by the NS for half an hour and you stay by them but when you're parents of young children they don't have patience for 30 minutes just to be there and now with grandchildren same thing I'm going to tell them to wait 30 minutes till we go lus you know or whatever else that they would like you can every y shabas has to be enjoyable has to be a pleasure we would plan the shabas this with with time to play in the middle so the children should enjoy so what I started to do to keep the children by the left without knowing it without them knowing it was G I make sure I got enough a stack of singles you know before Hanah and I say okay now we're going to ask questions and for every right answer you get a dollar so it keeps them every night by the left those we sing songs and ask questions and and they don't even realize that they're 30 minutes looking at the at the wonderful of as best as we can light them like the's wife said they had the oil and potatoes but it was very very special so I'm just going to close by explaining what zo is the last day the first day is of shabas this week Thursday night and the last day is a of shabas next week the eth day eight days later and it goes into the shabas but why is it called This is as if it's the whole one day did you ever wonder why the I'm not sure what the S Community calls the third meal but maybe they call sudit but we call it sh or SL three meals now in these winter months could you imagine eating three meals just after you had the sud in the morning you know is only a couple hours after the sud how could you call it there three meals you can't eat three meals on a winter afternoon we never eat three meals for the third meal it should be cool the third meal but the indication of calling it is to remind ourselves by us Royal the day starts at night the first fer is arit is mar and the next morning we already have Mar under our belts and we add shakas to it the holiest F of the day is which the third F we have it's three together because the day doesn't we don't lose Mar from last night we don't lose shakas the day gets bigger and bigger as the day goes on shabas is the same way by the time we're up to sudes it's three meals it's the kadha of three meals it's so holy it's the holiest time of the whole shabas likeo is the holiest F of Yer because we have the whole Yumer with us it's just Holier and Holier and Holier every day works that way that's where he was

told us the battlefield is right over here in our in our BAS medish we have to have in mind our brothers and sisters and and through our MIT and our learning and our the abish is going to do big things for cloud Israel across the world the fact that we see we have no friends that there are all these demonstrations and the college campuses are rising up the Abisha wants to show us you have me
