[Music] hello everybody and welcome back toim Treasures where every week we plan on learning two cap two chapters of tahim this week we'll be doing Capital he and capital V we'd like to thank our sponsors kazak the kazak organization has done exactly what they say they do through videos through recordings through audios to be able to inspire teach guide lift Elevate Jews from all over the globe and we wish them continued in their very very special Mission we'd also like to thank our second sponsor chickens for shabas dcom chickens for shabas does exactly what it says it does chickens for shabas but it's chickens and much much more for shabas there's so many families of mamum of teachers of aun of women who are NE alone and have been abandoned by their husbands and grous women who are divorced who could use that extra little something the extra stipend the extra little money the extra funding the extra chickens to be able to give them a little more of a lift to be able to give them a little more Sim in their lives please support chickens for shascom you should all continue youres hey chapter 5 you know when you have 150 chapters of it's not fair to say that one is your favorite and I am not that big of an expert in tahim for me to say that capital is my favorite but I can tell you that when I originally wrote my book on tum I was so inspired by this chapter it's so original and so unique and I think you'll feel the same what is n what are the and the mits says thato are a swarm of [Music] bees now unfortunately we think of bees and we get a little bit of scared and we're turned off and we're also afraid because we think bees are dangerous and sometimes they are but bees also have a certain Melody and a swarm of bees if you can get past the fear of the Swarm you hear the power of the seor the power of the bees pinkis tells about a safer it's called shil written by a Mak from Italy and he clarifies how the orchestration of the BAM mikash worked you know the B mikash had a a lot of singing and a lot of music it was very very Central to the core of the Aida listen to this the Lev were trained for five years to prepare for their role as MIM as singers in the B mikash some of them played the entire Melody on their instruments they were skilled musicians some of them would train for five years to sing or to play one chord you know I always think about the orchestra where you have in the corner of the orchestra the one guy who's playing the triangle I don't know if you've ever seen that instrument but there's a skill to it a real skill to it I don't know the skill I don't know the Mal at all the nilas is the power of theum s singing One chord but singing it together tells us that salant used to say when three yiden work together they can accomplish even more than the V not 300,000 yid three y together can accomplish more than the V the V was like a Mal he was the greatest person of his generation or in many generations he was like a an angel three are greater says and I want to share with you a story the story took place in 1929 after the K Massacre K Massacre was a terrible story with 69 men women and children were butchered by a group of maniacal and bloodthirsty Arabs m is butchered I recently read an account of it it's too gruesome to tell over but imagine to yourself the most horrific and terrible Sor possible and then 6 weeks later was Rashana and the B had come some of the were killed and the B were now in and it was the night of R and Rital shavitz went over to one of the [Music] and he was speaking to him about something and said to the B to go for he was a b go down for the but he did if the mash tells him he does and he began with the age-old traditional beautiful haunting Melody oh and he sang together with the who was beautiful and he came to the first and he had no problem but then he came to the [Music] second and then he stopped at the words your love you should never ever take away from us Hashem imagine a boy whose friends have been butchered and he's ding for the and he tries to get the words out he can't and finally he mumbles [Music] he can't move past it and he's crying and then he looks to the right and he looks to the left and he's surrounded by his and then together they Thunder because sometimes as an individual it's so so difficult but as at seore when we're supporting each other we can Thunder the most beautiful Melody and Hashem understands that we're crying out to him and we're telling him Hashem never ever ever let your love leave us and it won't we now move on to the next Capital Cap and cap teaches us which if you read through the capital you will recognize that it is and is crying out to hasem and asking him for his forgiveness why because D made a mistake at least what it's what it seems like because D had sent Bev's husband to the front lines where he got killed it appeared that he was just interested in but the tells us if you think you're making a grave mistake but that's what it seemed like and was held accountable for his mistake well he was sick and D was aware he understood that his sickness was a sign of a punishing him and all he wanted from Hashem was forgiveness and acceptance you know when we say we talk about people have a sickness not just a not just a sickness of the body not just an infection in the body but an infection of the soul and we ask for and it's important that we understand that when something happens to us when we encounter sometimes illness or perhaps worse we need to take the message that comes along with it Hashem loves us more than anything we've repeated this a few times already in hill and treasures that loves us more than anything he's the only one that can make anything happen and he would never do anything to hurt us so why is he giving us this illness why is he making us suffer and the answer is because we need a kapar we need some sort of atonement and therefore when we are not well we have to be mised we have to think we have to make a we have to think to ourselves what do we do wrong that means when somebody stubs their toe in the morning they have to understand that perhaps there's something that they did wrong and Hashem is giving them a little PCH I want to tell you a funny story you know we sometimes tell pretty serious stories in tum Treasures but every once in a while it's good to tell you a funny story I was a b in yiva and tells yiva and I played ball on Friday and I played a lot of ball I played to the point of exhaustion I was 17 at the time perhaps 18 I was first year B medish and after a person plays ball for a long long long time I didn't know this at the time but you can get a leg cramp and a leg cramp is incredibly painful well I was sitting Friday night at the suda with my friends in middle of the shabas suda and I'm saying this forella so I'll say a little bit of lush and haror for myself about myself and I said some Lush and Har about someone not just little lanara good juicy lanara and suddenly for the first time in my life I had a leg cramp not just a leg cramp but I'm telling you it was the mo I thought there was a demon that went inside of me I was like oh grabbing my leg hopping around the room and embarrassing myself and I got the message it only lasted for about 30 seconds but I got the message Hashem I shouldn't have saidar a person has to know and that's a cute little humorous story but a person has to know and take the message to Heart unfortunately was very sick and illness is not funny and people are very sick very often that illness is not a message to the person who is sick but it is a message maybe it's a message to everyone around that person very often Hashem will take someone who is very very beloved or very innocent and very pure and Hashem will choose that individual because their illness will inspire so many people thousands and thousands of people to do chuva and remember Hashem never does anything to hurt us but he chooses that individual because he wants to give a message to the world so whether it's a small stubbing of the toe or it's a leg cramp that probably was meant for that individual themselves for me or it's a young child or a big sadic who who is suffering with a terrible illness there's a message that's given to the world and that message is come closer to Hashem let's improve our ways let's be better in our relationship with the in our relationships with each other and through that hopefully all of those people will receive theu that they so desperately need thank you so much [Music]
