okay I've been sitting in this chair for
a long time now and I just don't feel
like right now I'm feeding the camera
and eventually when I edit and released
this video you real solid practical
value so I'm just scrapping anything I
had in mind to say and I'm gonna throw
in this video the video that I produced
last year for this week's Torah portion
called valera and it has such a crucial
practical lesson and I know that man
last year's video was like seven minutes
or something so by the time I got to the
actual proper content of the late
partial show in that video I think
nobody even watched it because I was
just like wasting time in the beginning
of the video whatever see I'm doing it
again I'm doing it yes - let's do this
throwback actually actually before we do
that I want to inform you just be I want
to I don't think you care but I want to
inform you that today literally just
today a couple hours ago I learned how
to properly pronounce the word mitigate
for a long time I thought it was
mitigate means like to diminish lesson I
always thought it was mitigating today I
was studying with a friend same friend
that I spoke up in last week's video
actually smart dude and he said the word
mitigated came up in the Talmud that we
were studying in the Gemara
and I said isn't it pronounced mitigate
and he said no it's not so if I ever use
the word mitigate in any previous video
now you know although I don't know why
I'm making this announcement like unless
I'm really concerned for my reputation
because of a mispronunciation of
mitigation you know okay without further
ado of me and my nonsense let's talk
something real let's begin with the
ultimate point then that's the
revelation of Mashiach maybe immediately
and since it must come from us and since
at least as of the recording of this
video it has not happened yet let's
increase enjoy in our life let's
increase in love for one another and of
course in terror study and observance of
mitzvahs and we must also demand
verbally
Oh God God we want to see you God
appeared to Abraham in the beginning of
this week's Torah portion and we we
should want the same thing badly enough
to demand from God
she us now and if it still hasn't
happened while you're watching this
video let's do the throwback after many
years of being married and yet never
having a child together of remnants are
finally in their very advanced age
miraculously give birth to Isaac gets
locked the second of our three
forefathers people did not believe that
Isaac was Abraham's son you see Sarah
Abraham's wife I've just recently been
abducted by this guy named avi mal if he
was a king and if you're thinking what
what someone was abducted by whoa this
is actually the second time it happened
the first time it was by Pharaoh in
Egypt and yeah they were like Abraham
lived with Sarah for so many years and
never had a child and now right after
Sarah was abducted by this IV MELAS King
now suddenly she becomes pregnant and
gives birth we think we know who the
father is and it's not eyebrows so
assuming that you thought should look
exactly identical to his father at braum
so there can be no mistake as to whom
the father of Yitzhak was is what says I
don't know what should I say whatever
we'll just leave it at this should I put
myself talking to myself and in the
final edit yeah let's do that right okay
yeah let's do that
one's face reveals what's going on on
the inside well you have this in a
physical sense where you can see if
someone's sad or happy cetera and one
Souls inner workings are expressed by
the looks of one's face the inner
dimension of the Terah explains that
Abraham's mode of divine service and the
inner workings of his soul were mainly
in the realm of kindness Isaac his son
Yitzhak was in the realm of restraint
holding back severity so the fact that
I've Roman Yitzhak looked exactly the
same was nothing short of a miracle this
spiritual miracle if you want to call it
that was still showing on in a reality
that kindness isn't real kindness if
you're never holding back you can't give
a knife to a kid just because he or she
wants it for example and obviously just
holding back is not at all appropriate
- and restraint really go one-in-one so
Bob rums kindness of course also had
severity and youth sucks severity of
course also had kindness just the soul
of our home was more of a mode of
kindness why you suck with severity and
here is the closing beautiful lesson
theoretically God could have made the
miracle to be that our Rama's face
should look like his future son
it sucks face meaning that a bronze face
should show on the restraint on the
severity that is within the kindness of
his soul but no God chose to make kids
whose main mode was one of severity
to have the face of his father to have a
face of kindness when we are in doubt as
to what is the best way to deal with the
situation should it be one of severity
should it be one of restraint or should
it be one of love should be one of
kindness of giving the way to go is
kindness that is what is most probably
gonna work best and if you're in doubt
that's the way to go and I read a quote
this week that was attributed to the
rabbit I'll paraphrase I think anyways
the quote that I read was paraphrased
when in doubt whether to give a hug or a
punishment to a child give a hug because
if you give a punishment and you were
meant to give a hug
you've caused some severe damage and if
you gave a hug when you were meant to
give a punishment you've brought some
extra love into the world with our
increased acts of kindness may we merit
already to see Messiah
