this tishabove. We were witnessed to a
horrific video which shows us the depths
of the evil that lies within this this
terrorist group that we call kamas. When
they showed one of the captives, Avitar
Davidid was digging Kabul's own grave.
They may make a a a statement saying
that I am digging my own grave in as
much as you will not get me out of here
then I am going to lie down here and
this will be my place of rest
to do that dapka to the Jews who are oh
so familiar with this idea 70 80 years
ago in the time of the holocaust that
the Jews were all busy digging the
trenches which we know that they would
get shot in the head and put down into
the same trenches that they themselves
dig their own grave. Going ahead and
repeating this atrocity once again to
the same people again shows that they
have absolutely no gulot, no
limitations.
But what's interesting enough to point
out is this video specifically came out
on tishab. Did you realize that on
tishabove the garra says as we're
familiar with that the moragim was one
of the five gerat that happened on
tishabove. Well, the moraglin the event
that happened with the spies happened on
tishabove itself and the bababas writes
that therefore the zera that hashem said
that the you will be in the desert for
40 years and all 600,000 people will die
during those 40 years and it will happen
says the goras on tishabove meaning
listen to this this is what the gor says
that everybody who is ground on
Tishabove will dig a grave in the sand.
They all dug over there and they all lie
down in their grave on tishabove and
15,000 people would not get up the next
day. What a great way to spend a
tishabove. But that was 15,000 people
times 40 years equals 600,000
people until all would not be around and
then we would be able to go into Israel
as a result of the punishment of the
Moragim.
Incredible that the Davka made this
video specifically during tishabove in
order to bring back this horrific event
and to remind us of what Tishabov was
all about. But I want to add one more
incredible thing that the Gomorrah says
there and that is that in the 40th year
at that time in the 40th year when the
last 15,000 people went and dug up their
grave and were there woke up the next
morning. They were supposed to be the
final that was supposed to be the final
uh death that was supposed to occur and
they actually got up meaning the last
15,000 people did not actually die. And
the question is why? And I heard from my
son a beautiful chhatz aml one time sat
inside of a safer a beautiful idea and
that is because every year when people
would go into their grave they always
knew there's another 100,000 people here
there's another 150,000 people here what
are the chances of me being from the
15,000 people
maybe not everybody laid out a they laid
out a prayer that I should survive this
year and I'll try to pray and maybe
we'll be able to reneg this zeras. Maybe
we'll be able to rescend this decree.
Hopefully, every year they hoped and
they hoped and they hoped and they daved
but it didn't work until the 40th year
when those last 15,000 people went in
the kev they knew this is it. It's us
and nobody else. They realized they are
the only people around. This is an
absolute mat of there's no one else to
be told that maybe someone else is going
to die and not me. So when they let out
a on the 40th year, the dvening that
they had on the 40th year was one that
was it actually ripped the skies open.
It went completely out of a matab of a
mat that this is it. I know it's only an
there is nothing else except for you
please can you get us out of this mess.
Please can you resend this please? Ail
like that doesn't go unanswered.
Listened to them and they woke up the
next morning. Did you hear that
incredible message that every can
actually save if it's done
appropriately? Meaning if those first if
all the from the beginning of the 40
years was the same as in the last 40th
year that it would have been a it's only
me
I know there's no one else to be then
you should realize that is going to be
able to be successful such a will be
successful
what does it mean
their even if they in the is with
It's together with our horses. It's
together with the it's together with
understanding that there other means to
be able to do it. But if it's
if it's only with us that we do it only
with there is no other address those you
should all go answered. Those are the
address those are that completely
uh responded to and that's why even
though they showed this video on
tishabove the message was clear. They're
coming to bring a nice message for us
for us to realize that yes, our filot
are ones that are supposed to be of the
ones that happen on tishabove that if we
have those appropriate you should know
it will be answered. It will get to a
stage of absolute remembrance will take
us out and you will free all the rest of
the hostages. If we're able to go ahead
and give it not just a little bit of a
shiral on our way out while we're
wrapping up our if it comes from a place
that I know that it's only dependent on
me and there's nowhere else on my
then it'll be okay as writes on the
time of it says over there as the says
started crying out to says Rashi there
were
They cried to Hashem just like their
office says it's a big that their
was their big amano. Oh wow mag that's
fantastic. Oh they learned how to davin.
He says no no no the
here was one that ripped the skies open
because they knew they were surrounded.
There were animals on one side. There
were mitzv behind them. There was a sea
in front of them. There was nowhere to
turn. such a such a it can break a whole
ocean into pieces. It can split seas and
the and it says that was
and that's what even when was just to go
out
his simple was one that came from
absolute absolute place that everything
is dependent on I know there's nowhere
else to turn I know I can't rely on
everything else when a person do he goes
ahead and there was a story I saw a
story once of a person who was by the
cotel and he was a proper high he was a
high esteemed doctor and he was sitting
next to another Yid over there and he
saw him crying his heart out and he saw
him begging for help from he said that's
it I I have the position I'm going to
help this guy I can do it for free after
the person finished this he went up to
him and said I hear the problems that
you have let me help you tell me the
issues I have a lot of connections I'll
help you out and I'll be able to help
out whatever this health issue is so the
person said no I'm healthy just every
time I dove in I'm is feeling about
dysfunctional organs. What would it be
if if it would be such a situation? What
would be if that would be the situation?
He goes in the realizing that wow my
pulse is beating right now only because
giving me a present on a second to
second basis. And when you do that,
there's no that that can that is more
powerful than that. It's an incredible
type of feel that's in trouble power
that we have with the power of our lips
that we're able to reach that we just
saw now in our para about the of being
able to say to be able to give out to
and to scream out in in in appreciation
for everything that we have. The
arikllet also the place where a person
after he killed the bishog as we read in
the previous parha when he would kill
someone bashig he would run to the ar
mikl he was in a jail basically until
the kong gut would die and the as we all
know that the person would only be
released from this jail from being the
ari only after the kongudul would die he
would have to the kong guttle have to
die so he would dive in while he was
there that hopefully the kong god should
die. It's not nice. Maybe it's not
appropriate. But look, I want out I want
out of this jail. I went out of the
cell. So the over there the gammor makot
brings that the mother of the kong will
actually bring food would actually bring
food to the guy who was sitting in in
the ar miklut in the place that was is
in imprisonment. And the and the
question is
what does that help? A little bit of
food. What does that add? A little bit
of gesture. Okay, I'm still in jail. I
don't care if you're going to bring me a
few potato chip bags. What is that going
to help? But the answer is a beautiful
answer also. I heard from my son the
same thing that when it comes from a
place of absolute yush when I have
nothing else, then the tree is much
stronger. But if you're comfortable, if
he's sitting there and he's a little bit
comfortable, he's getting nice gourmet
meals, he's being he's being treated a
little bit appropriately. So even though
he still wants to get out and even
though of course he's still doveting,
it's not the same. It doesn't have the
same power. So if we take this as a
lesson to the power of feel and what
feel is really about it's an absolute
it's a time to know that when I really
want it I put all my kishkas into us.
Even a fool when he is in a time of need
he becomes very intelligent. He works
very much in order to be able to get
there. He puts all his kishkas into it
and he puts his efforts and then
actually returns to him in kind. There
was once a person named Christopher
Reev. He was an actor. Maybe you heard
of him. It was Superman. Well, because
he pretended to be Superman, Kajbaru
smacked him across the face and he ended
up getting uh in when he was on his
horse an equestrian event, he ended up
becoming a paraplegic. He ended up
getting completely smacked even though
he's a very uh a very stealthy person.
He ended up becoming a paraplegic. The
rest of his life, he devoted only to
helping paraplegic. He don much of his
money there in efforts in order to help
paraplegic plea. Why? Why? What
happened? What happened today from
yesterday? Why suddenly are you so much
to paraplegic? What what happened? Makur
before you were a very famous actor and
this and suddenly you start becoming
such a big bucka. But the answer is when
a person realizes he's in a mitsuka he
gives it his all. He puts his adrenaline
into it. He puts everything in. Now he
did it if I could say but when we do it
for the sake of we realize every that
we're in that we really are in a state
of mitsuka when we realize that we
really are in a situation of everything
then youras will be answered that's the
secret to be able to know how aila can
really be really be answered how will
listenberg
was one time talking about and he said
is right that
it's rabbitic or not and a student came
up to him and said so it comes out that
arch only
unless it's an eight if it's a difficult
time so then it is so
shiny no arch
because every time you dive in you
should realize you're in an eight you
should realize that you are being survi
your survival code right now is only
because you're in the when you're in an
eight s that feel turns turns into a
we see from here that the sometimes just
to feel
a recogn
to recognize just like a person who's
sitting in jail by the ga or just like
that person who is digging his grave and
lying down inside of it and begging that
I want to come back up as they did in
the midbar and David shall return soon
but that fela should be channeled
towards saving ourselves but saving our
hostages and saving our soldiers and we
should see the Yeshua. Amen.
