Daily Chidush: What Happens When We Forget Our Past?

how are you hope everything is well hope you're enjoying the holiday is upon us the day uh Holiday full of Miracles uh but also at the same time we are coming up on uh the end of the secular Christian year end of uh year 2016 uh many uh people have uh very little understanding and knowledge about our history and as we always say there's always a connection of what's happening in the world either as a whole for our nation or independently connected to our weekly par now weekly par mik is the second half of the story of Joseph and his uh Brothers after they sold them and uh this this week's parasa begins with Joseph's salvation Hashem decides that uh he spent enough time in jail 12 years in jail and now he's taken him from the absolute bottom of the barrel uh to become the visoy of Egypt in a matter of moments uh literally a matter of moments they even says in the beginning of the par that they hurried him meaning they ran him all the way from the jail all the way to par uh in order to translate the dream and then after parau sees Joseph's Divine wisdom that Hashem gave him he uh says this in uh chapter 41 verse 44 Pharaoh says to Joseph I am Paro and without you no no man May lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt and here makes Joseph the visery he makes him second in command in essence he's telling him that Hey listen now that uh you are uh you're here now that you're going to be the visoy you have the complete job in Ence you you do everything you run everything you have the wisdom you have everything you run the show and in essence you become king and the only one that could override you is me but I'm not really interested in doing anything anymore so this is something extraordinary this is a something that we see ourselves sometimes uh where people today feel like a little mini Josephs where they have a lot of success in life their business is growing their uh you know reputation is growing their popularity is growing and all of us get a big head and we start developing Partnerships with some people that are not necessarily the same type of Partners we would have made an beginning of our journey we start making friends with some people that are not necessarily the type of friends we would have made in the beginning of our journey and unfortunately in today's world there's so much confusion about what's happening is that sometimes you see things that are completely confusing that on one end are actually part of the Prophecies of what's going to happen at the end of times as it says in page 49 where says there going to be a lot of confusion uh and literally things are going to be the opposite of what they're supposed to be where our leaders are going to work against us and sometimes you see in the news these strange articles about so-called Orthodox rabbis that are making Partnerships with the Christian world uh aside from the fact that many of the articles are fake uh nonetheless even the ones that are real are not necessarily what they seem to be but regardless of that whether people believe them whether it's happening not happening this is something we all have to understand and what's connecting all of this to this week specifically in the next short while we're going to go to the Book of Exodus and the Book of Exodus begins with parot is the beginning of our slavery and we see in the beginning of parat chapter 1 verse 8 and it says a new king arose over Egypt who did not know Joseph and kazal says what do you mean he didn't know Joseph this is the same Joseph that built the country when Joseph came there before he was Vis okay Egypt was like you know it's nice place it was like a uh Florida it was like uh maybe a part of New York but after Joseph came and built it it became uh you know United States it became Rich prosperous the whole world was bound to it and giving it paying it taxes it was the ruler of the world how could you not remember Joseph and as a matter of fact the Egyptians started idolizing Joseph and wouldn't let him be buried outside of Egypt and they actually put his tomb inside the Nile River and they would pray to the Nile River with Joseph being inside the river so how could this be that he forgot Joseph andal says he didn't really forget Joseph in reality he forgot him conveniently it wasn't convenient for him anymore to have a relationship with this Joseph with the history of Joseph whether it was the same Pharaoh or a different Pharaoh it doesn't really make a difference because the reality is that neither the one could have forgotten the same person that built the country it's like an American you know at least in previous generations you tell them you know who George Washington was you know who Abraham Lincoln was you know who Thomas Jefferson was you know even who Bill Gates was not that he necessarily Built America but just to give people understanding I mean these are people that you can't just forget even the most ignoramus person would know who these people are so how could you forget the guy that built the country put you on the map ah it's not convenient to remember this relationship with the Jews anymore because we already made our money we already got what we want now let's confuse them let's turn them into slaves before they actually overcome us before they become too powerful with us let's call their country a illegal State an occupied State like the makim the United Nations did this past week to the nation of Israel to the Isel saying that the our country is illegal so now it's not convenient for them so what does this have to do with everything you see my dear brothers and sisters our story starts thousands of years ago and that hasem himself said it starts already with as and yov and let's not be fooled as andov were brothers yes close born out of the same mother born at the same time everything was wonderful but in the endov as hates yov asav could only tolerate yov up to a certain point as soon as that point is reached as soon as there's no more need then as no longer needs yov and as can become very very mean very vicious and the reason why we mention it is because this week we are about to end the secular year year 2016 and 2017 and many Jews have no idea what they're about to celebrate as a matter of fact in many places around the world New Year's Eve is not called New Year's Eve but rather Sylvester and if anyone spends even two minutes on the internet finding out who this Sylvester character is it would see that if you travel back a couple of thousand years and you see the history back in those days Sylvester was one of the in essence one of the founders of Christianity in a sense that he put it in the next level by combining Christianity with the Romans Romans were pagans they were Idol worshippers but they had the strength they had the power and Sylvester the first convinced the Roman Caesar constantinos to in essence become a Christian to follow the New Testament but part of that relationship also included to completely Wipe Out the Torah completely Wipe Out the Jews and celebrate this day on a yearly basis and what do they do which day did they choose to celebrate they chose the day to celebrate the day that Sylvester died in essence his birthday his his death day they celebrate this day each year called December 31st as a day that they're going to that's the New Year's I even know over the last couple of thousand years you can see that the new years has changed multiple times because the Christian calendar is not really a precise calendar it's changed multiple times it used to be celebrated in March and then at other times in different parts of the year and then eventually about 500 years ago it came back to being celebrated New Year's Day became January 1st once again but nonetheless this whole celebration of New Year's it has a foundation that's not only from a pagan route but also from an anti-semitic route the very day that Jews are celebrating you know by going to Time Square going to get drunk like fools going to parties celebrating is the very same day that Sylvester used as a special holiday for him to give his people full permission to do whatever they want including murdering tens of thousands of Jews on a regular basis each and every single year to such an extent that during their Journeys they would literally look for synagogues and different Jewish communities so they could put them all into the synagogues and burn them alive why are we getting so graphic with this because it's the only way we get the point it's the only way we understand what we're about to do you're going to drink like it's a good day but in reality if you look at your great grandparents they will be rolling on their great in in tears if they knew that we're celebrating this today so now my friends the question is this how do we tell everyone some people today think that you're not allowed to be a to be a someone that rebukes people or tells them the truth as a matter of fact if you tell every Jew even if they're the most secular person on Earth are you allowed to eat pig every single Jew even the one that's eating it will tell you I'm not allowed to eat pig some choose to eat it anyway but everyone knows according to the Tor you're not allowed to eat it well just like not eating pig is a mitvah in the Tora it's one of the 63 there also another mitvah that's in the Book of Leviticus chapter 19 verse 17 says you shall not hate your brother in your heart you shall reprove your fellow and do not bear a sin because of him says first and for most don't hate your brother in your heart keeping the truth away from him is hating him in your heart because sometimes say ah listen maybe he doesn't deserve to know the truth maybe he can't handle the truth not allowed to do that aside from that there's obviously other types of Hate in Your Heart jealousy and so on but aside from that it says You must reprove your fellow you must reprove your brother if you see your brother as a as is violating Shabbat you have to tell him if you see your brother is stealing you have to tell him if you see your brother is cheating you have to tell him but most importantly if you see your brothers about to go do on New Year's Eve celebrating in essence the uh ancient Hitler from 2,000 years ago you have to tell him hey my friend hey my brother hey my fellow Jew hey even my fellow Christian who doesn't believe in the previous horror show that your ancestors had you know you're about to celebrate the the worst type of anti-Semitism the world has ever known the one that was by the Romans and then the ones that was by the Christians combined the ones that destroyed the BET mikdash and the ones that have put us in exile for the last 2,000 years the one that has burned tens of thousands of Jews on a yearly basis as a holiday as a celebration do you know do you know that that's what you're about to celebrate no no I'm not connected to that I'm just going to have some fun with my friends okay so why don't you do it on Tuesday why don't you do it on Wednesday why don't you do it on any other day why don't you do it on December 28th why don't you do it on January 15th why don't you do it on rosashana why don't you do it any other day well you have to go that day and this is where reality comes in this is what we have to understand you must rebuke your friends you have to tell them the truth because unfortunately most of them don't know and if you just send them this they'll understand that you know what even if they want to hang out they could always do it a different day they don't have to do it on a day that their ancestors were murdered and for those of us that are saying Hey listen Maybe we're not supposed to uh you know uh rebuke people right here you go this is a Mitzvah just like not eating pig is a Mitzvah that you're not allowed to do not rebuking is also you must rebuke it's one of the 63 mitv there's no like other way this is not a cre this is not my creation hashm didn't ask you for permission of whether to write this or not this is a mitvah in the Tor and just to give you an idea of what happened when you don't do it then you just go to par Bak the book of numbers midb and you go to theak which is the time where unfortunately sinned with immodesty immodest women they went with the IM Goot and left the they let them into the camp and we all know the story of what happens there and hasem tells Moshe in chapter 25:4 Hashem says to Moses take all the leaders of the people and hang them before Hashem against the son why is it taking the leaders all the people sinned did anybody ever ask this question why is HEM telling Moshe go hang the leaders he's not the people are sinning thousands of people that are sinning why don't you tell go kill the people go punish the people go do something to the people no no no no no Hashem says go first go take the leaders hang them first then we'll deal with the people why because the leaders knew the truth and they didn't rebuke they didn't fulfill the and as it says in the page 54 a person who does not rebuke his brother or sister is fellow when he knows the truth takes the sin upon himself meaning you see somebody violating Shabbat you don't tell them you're not allowed to violate Shabbat you become officially Shabbat even if you keeping Shabbat you see a woman that's not modest you don't tell her you don't tell your girlfriend this is obviously for women to do not for men men can't go to other women tell them they're not modest unless their wife is next to them and they could do something in a modest way but most importantly a woman to another woman sees a friend you're not modest you don't do it you and Sham will be judged as a not modest woman and here we know that our brothers and sisters are about to make a giant sin of a giant sin of of celebrating Hitler celebrating Hitler's birthday Hitler was just a different name his name is Sylvester celebrating his birthday with and go and this and that all this stupidity because we don't know so be a good leader you don't have to be a leader of hundreds or thousands or Millions you could be a leader of two you and your wife you and your friend you and your child we don't all have to be M but if you know a little bit of information you know a little bit of truth please share it our nation our history and our future depends on it may hasem continue to bless all of you to see the truth to fulfill the truth and to spread it to cold tooth
