for you please support them generously and finally chickens for shabbos which is exactly that at chickens for shabbos dot com you will be able to donate to an incredible organization that provides

agunas they're all alone they need our help and we emits hashem will be able to help them please give generously chickens for we now get back to the next two capital which is capital your aleph and your base capital your aleph begins sings a misma he sings a song and he starts with two words and these two words are words that you should hold in your pocket in hashem i trust throughout tihiland allah speaks about bhitakhan he speaks about trusting in hashem and this is yet another opportunity where dubuna malach is able to speak to us about bitaken the truth is is that pitakin is not something that you check the box and you move on it is a lifelong struggle we're constantly tested with be talking challenges and we have to do our utmost to be able to rise to those challenges that when we feel like matters are totally in our own hands we have to realize that baruch who is controlling the world and vice versa we should not panic when we feel like we have no control we need to remember that the revolution will a never do anything to hurt us and b controls the entire world if you can remember those two thoughts put in your pocket hold it dear to your heart you will never ever be lost and you'll live through life so much more comfortably and pleasurably now the words at the end of maiden have very interesting rashettevis the rashitevis of mayolam kivinulak spell the word makal makal mem kuf lamid and a makal or a mako is a staff a stick avinu says kivimakli of rts running away from asov yaakov avinu is being pursued ace of ace of russia is ready to hound him to kill him and he crosses with his staff with his stick kevin mackley of rtsa arden really that's not going to get you very far yaakov avinu how are you going to defend yourself against ace of harasser with a little staff and the answer is a person has to remember and we should remember this when we say in in that chapter in that bracha of shrine history percy needs to remember that if we are armed with the staff with the stick the mako that yakima vino has carried that may show avenue carried that even throughout the generations have carried we will never be lost we could be pursued by our enemies and this could happen to somebody at work it could happen to somebody when he's hounded with various trials and tribulations that happen in everyday normal life but if you hold on to the trust if you hold on to the new trauma and that's all you hold on to you will always be in good hands there's a gewald gomez [Music] was a great sadiq and the doctors in you shalom were worried that his daughter was having very very great difficulty she was very sick and much anxiety and worry went into it not from resendle though rib zundel sent his son-in-law and he told him listen there's going to be an operation performed we do not have the necessary funds can you please go travel to europe and you will be able to raise the money so that my daughter your sister-in-law will be able to have the operation she needs and raph small s set out on his journey and he went collecting but he did not really have much success he was very very broken about it and he called up his father-in-law whose name by the way was the same name as his name so salant told his son-in-law to go collecting and told his father-in-law he's not having very much success how about you write me a sabham lotsa write me a letter of approbation give me ascama when people hear that rebzonda salaam's daughter is sick and that she needs someone to give money everybody will give repsondel responded no you are placing your trust in something or someone other than the rabbinicial islam and that is not the way we live sure enough rip schmool did not rely on it eventually they were zoey to get the money and she had her for shalema imagine that repsondo own daughter is death leo she needs an operation to save her life all his son-in-law was asking for was just a letter but understood there was only one that could help his daughter hashem and no one else this brings us to the next chapter of tehillim chapter 12 capital you'd base and capital your days speaks of a very very important meetup it speaks of the media of ms david speaks about hashem a person asks hashem cut off all the lips of smooth talk sometimes people think that their talk will be smooth and glib they'll get it by whoever they need to they'll get what they want they won't be totally honest little do we realize says ribsham should of hersh that the word khalak which means smooth and the word which means a portion a division something that's separated are really the same word a person wants something to be whole and therefore you think i won't be totally honest and i'll keep it whole i'll make it whole on the contrary adaraba punkfucker just the opposite if a person speaks dishonestly then unfortunately not only will it not remain whole it will fall and crumble and everything you hoped and dreamed for will not come true and well talks about the media of ms and he goes to various instances in david hamel's life when ms was needed and the importance of ms and how you can't rely on sheker because shecker ain't loy raglain sheker has nothing to stand on i want to share with you a story the story some might find a little troublesome but i think it's a very powerful story rip shimon schwab the great rev of the washington heights community who was a great saddik he stood for truth he spoke often about the importance of being airlift and honest and his community followed in his footsteps i'd like to share with you a story about rip shimming schwab and rip shimon schwab was the love of the washington heights community and he preached his community about the importance of ms of truth of saying the truth of being truthful and his community followed in his footsteps and the washington heights community is a very early community and he drew upon his experiences as a childhood the message that his father gave him one time his mother asked him to go buy some groceries from the store she gave him money he went to the store and there was some leftover change and shimon wanted a piece of chocolate so he bought the chocolate with the leftover change he ate the chocolate and he put the wrapper in his pocket so no one would know he then went home and his mother asked him for the change and he said i'm sorry mommy there was no change and she noticed that there was a wrapper sticking out of his pocket she called him on his dishonesty and he confessed that friday night shimon is sitting at the shabbos table and his father sings shalom alechem and he sings asia's kyle and then it's time to give out the brachas the beautiful bracha that a father gives his child every single friday night and each child stepped forward to get their bracha but when it came to shimon's turn his father looked him squarely in the eyes and he said shimon today you did not tell the ms and when someone doesn't say the truth there is no bracha in his life tonight you don't get a bra and this very painful episode taught shimon to never lie and in his estimation he said he never knowingly told the lie for the rest of his life it is a hurtful story but sometimes especially when people are younger they need to learn the importance of being honest and when you're honest you will see all the bracha in the world [Music] you
