hi everyone uh so I wanted to speak this week about what's been happening recently in Israel and the question I really had was what's our take away from this and what does a want us to see from what's been happening what do we take home and obviously there's a lot of things we can take home as a lot of messages but one message that struck me very recently was the fact that if you look at the backdrop of what was been happening in Israel over the past six months maybe more there's been a cons a humongous fight because of political reasons and it went down to almost everybody in Israel the left versus the right regarding judicial reform whatever and it got so bad that that reservists were saying I'm not coming in for reserve duty and regular whether it was Al or other places like I'm not coming into work basic NE necessary things for every society to function the workers were saying I'm not coming in because I don't like what's happening I don't agree with this I don't agree with that and it was a humongous Rift in the society and and right afterwards as soon as this incident happened overnight there's the greatest Unity the Jew probably has ever had since Mount Si the the the the the the the feeling of solidarity that we have with each other whether we're here in America or there in Israel we feel it it doesn't didn't matter anymore you were left you were right you religious you were not religious you were zentist you anti zentist you're you're whatever yourish you're Lish you're your B whatever it is it didn't matter any it doesn't matter anymore and potentially that's that's been the the take one of the takeaways because one of the the key weapon of the of the Jewish people has always been Unity when the gar says why was ahab's Army aab was a wicked King at a wicked time for the Jewish people why was he his army when they went out to war they did not lose anybody but when righteous Kings at a more righteous time period for the Jewish people came in to do battle they would lose they would lose men ask why the that by aab even they were Wicked they were still unified and when there's Unity they'll win and by by more righteous Kings King David King sha there wasn't complete Unity when there isn't complete Unity there's no completeness and so you see now what's been happening hasem almost has forced us to become United this situation has made us very much United it's literally you could say that that the the the the basic St that we've had is is slowly but surely going away because of the situation that may be the the the takeaway home takeaway lesson that we can take from this situation one of the many and it's interesting that that by Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked America historians now looking back say the Japanese woke up the sleeping Dragon the sleeping Dragon was America it was staying neutral after they attacked they came into World War II and the rest is history changed everything for the entire world I think that at this moment in time Hamas woke up the sleeping lion the sleeping lion is the Jewish people that lion was very much disunited it was very much sleeping changed overnight they woke up to sleeping night now with our Unity we cannot go and we can do things we probably never do before we can finally eradicate Kamas and his b the North and says at a time when there's din there's strict judgment that bringing into the world the antidote to that strict judgment is is relying on relying on hasem that he'll take care of us and he'll bring us not just take care of us beautifully and when those negative thoughts creep in our job is to think positively that hasem is going to do wonderful things with us even if you don't believe it and in that will from the of and our unitym is going to help bring msia
