Tisha B'Av: Greatness Brings Geula - Mr. Charlie Harary

[Music] it's bittersweet to be here you know it's hard when we have a people that is so strong and so mighty and so connected and so together events that bring people in to learn about Hashem events where we turn to Hashem and say we love you it's really hard to remind ourselves there were not even close as much as we'd like to think that we're doing great we're not even close and we sit on the floor on Tish above and it's so powerful I was explaining this to my colleagues at work on Friday and they were asking me like why aren't you shaving and I said I'm in mourning and they were trying to hold back laughter they're like what are you mourning for him like the base HaMikdash they're like what a building like are you and like they were just trying to figure it out we thought you were like sophisticated like like you were like one of us like what are you doing I was trying to explain to them that the base had me this isn't just a building it's a way of life it's a it's a part of life and when you get lost in life you start to get complacent and one of the greatest nights and days of the year is God sitting us on the floor and saying stop being complacent you're not there yet you want to literally game your Super Bowl champions you're not even close you know what you guys can get you know what the prize is oh you don't get back on the floor and remind or reminding ourselves about the destruction not because we like to remember bad things we're reminding ourselves about the destruction because I think what Hashem is doing is saying you have to fight for good Allah you have to be bigger I'll tell you when the game is over it's not over yet and if you're sitting on the floor that means you have a chance I mean you're still in the game but you got to fight for bigger and that's what I want to talk about today how do we bring gula it's time it's time look enough it's time what are we gonna do to bring gula so we know the Gemara tells us and the IRAs all tells us something very cryptic it says Biswas Russian sitka Neos Illuma meets Ryan the women something about the first generation of women something happened with the women in mitzrayim they had something they knew something they tapped into something and because they did that thing whatever it was what that first generation of women did that first time that was the sauce that goddess had a miss Ryan and everyone asks the question really like when you first hear you're like that's nice to say it's sweet it's nice everybody had a hand in it I love all my children of course of course of course but like we read the story write the story really didn't have a lot of women in as major protagonists the main players was Moshe as he negotiated with pyro and was God's emissary and he was a guy Arwen was their national oakes into the sea like most of the players in the actual story were men so it's nice to hear it and I'm sure it makes everybody happy and I'm gonna like yeah of course it's us but like when you first really like sure sure sure but it's a Gomorrah what in the world does that mean that motions work didn't do it it wasn't motion in our own that did all of the work it wasn't the men it wasn't as a caning it wasn't the taskmaster that took it on the back for their fellow Jews that brought them out it was the women what did they know so I want to go into that first moment of gula now we think that go all the began and it did officially begin when they've came out of Egypt but remember when they came out of Egypt they weren't fully free because they had people chasing them when you break out of jail you're not free if the cops are on your back you're out of the physical structure of jail but you're not free when was the first moment in the history of our people when the Jews are finally free so if you can for me to just be there picture if you can the Jewish people at a sea at the beach on the shoreline as far as your eye can see in both direction are just Jews exhausted silence probably the dawn is breaking and all you can see is a nation standing at the banks and it's silent their brains are processing what just happened a minute ago we were on the other side and we saw them chasing us and then like its split and we walk through and they're just the brains are trying to comprehend what does this mean where are the Egyptians they go around are they gonna chase us later are they gonna catch us in five days from now like what's going on and they're sitting around thinking is this finally over and all of a sudden in the distance one person goes it's a wheel and they go what and they see a bobbing chariot and they go could it be and then someone's uniform comes up and they're like no and then all of a sudden on the shore or all the Egyptian slave masters and the Jews finally understand it's over it's over like it's over over out it's done it's done and they go crazy they start dancing and singing they never experienced freedom their whole life's 210 years of slavery and they turn around and they start singing and they start dancing and the men start - nique dancing and the women start dancing and the puck says the following line but t miriam hana via miriam she takes as her toffee odda a topaz a tambourine she takes a tambourine but it's a night in call hashem and all of these women the ones that had the merit i don't know who they were what they knew but all these women went with her a Korea but to Peru close and they took with them their tambourines and they made circles which is typical of a little wedding the guy stuff is like some mosh pit of people killing each other and the only half circles are like perfect and like you know they're all on the right seder it's unbelievable that's what happened back that nothing changes she took them in the women with her tambourine and all the women came with their tambourines and they made circles and Rashi has a great question where they attend Marines they were in Egypt this Egypt wasn't like they worked hard than to get bonuses Edith was Nazi Germany well they have arts and crafts at three o'clock look what would they do who was making where they don't knock hockey sets so they made like tambourines afterwards like whoa are you kidding me they put their names on each other they're kids at four for show-and-tell how do they have temporary know that they were getting killed every day and Rashi says that they were making tambourines and these are the tambourines that they held with them afterwards and the question is how where'd they get these tambourines for they forgot to take out the bread you remember we're eating bad bread forever because mom forgot to bake the bread you forgot the bread but they remember the tambourines what is going on with these tambourines and why these tambourines so important that the Torah speaks about them let's go the other side let's go from the moment of gula to the moment of Goz because i want to go and flip it if you want to understand something in life look at the extremes and then look at the opposites i'm the opposite side of it was the moment that we're here today why are we standing here today on the floor because a long long time ago the jews had a chance to get in Terrill two years later of these same jews that came out dancing and singing these same jews were at the banks of now Kanaan and god goes okay do you ready that's the Promised Land and choose go man you pulled some doozies in Egypt like it not wait to see what you got up your sleeve are you gonna use locusts again because that was a great move God night great choice you'd report it 9th I would have brought it first but like you know how is it you're in charge I mean like you I mean like if you've got more mock us like let's go let's see what you got up there there's gonna be amazing like let us know when we're clear can I just get make sure to get a house on the corner I like the corner a lot and God's like oh I'm so are you even get the memo it's gonna be different this time this time you're gonna fight me like oh we're sorry we're Jews we're not gonna we can sue them that's fine I'm saying like we can heal people we could I get rid of my mom we can guilt them to death that's fine but fighting like if this not our way like you never can see a bunch of guys come out of a bar like Yale let's cross the street cuz the yeshiva guys let out like it's never gonna happen we're not scary people we're not in the rink ever we may have built the stadium and we may be the lawyers for the guys in the ring but we're never playing you know I'm saying we're never doing that stuff it's on who we are and God and most of those things I thought were good you be fine flex it's me it's a nation remember the story spies II was in spies come out and the spies are deliver a report basically they say we're gonna die there's a tisha bub right so the question people ask us as follows I don't know saying something if right now we're about to look I hope not I didn't check the news but right now unfortunately it's flaring up in Gaza Shum should protect us right now if right now as we're speaking the Israeli army sending in a spy let's say into Gaza right now I hope not and he comes back and says don't bring in the troops in this particular area they booby-trapped it and if you bring in troops it's gonna be an ambush that guy reports to the commanders that they're gonna die if you bring things in what do you tell that guy thank you these are Jewish hands we're chose blood you've saved us from a massacre Moshe says go check it out the spies come in and go there's fortified cities there's major Giants it ain't gonna work we're gonna die and what do we tell them Moshe should say thank you I appreciate it let's wait it out for a couple of years maybe more she goes you said what God goes you said what not only am I not saying thank you this is the worst day this is the day the fear seen him what why are we killing him for why what happened well I ran the floor for why we sitting around going oh my god I can't believe this happened a long time ago what they do wrong they walked in this spice he looked around they saw fortified cities they saw giant they say look at us look at them we're gonna lose they come back and say guys we're gonna lose why they getting killed for why are we seeing around if what they did was it was truthful so much so that when yo show goes in motion gives them an extra you to protect them so much so that Kali leaves them to pray at that bedroom what's going on what is it about these two stories on the one hand the story of gula leaving the sea and bringing these tambourines on the other side this story that seems to be so not a big deal and we seem to be suffering from it every single year since so I want to tell you about the most powerful force in the world what is the most powerful force in the world today so I'll tell you a story men and women a very difference we see the world very differently I always say if we weren't from women and marry women we would last one generation and that's it we don't really have it to go much longer than that because there things don't come natural to us like showering and cleanliness and things like that these are things that are sort of left for the female class and they train us on these things that's why if you ever go to visiting day you see all the time moms come in and they go wow I can't believe you fold the laundry just like me and they're like oh my god this is how I fold the laundry this have you not changed your clothes since you got here and the kids are like what it still fits and I'm like it still fits and when I was like Charlie I'm like that's disgusting because that's not normal for a kid to go to camp and change his clothes guys are lucky of course I'm gonna like that's disgusting this is how it works one of the craziest things that guys have one of the craziest times in Our Lives is teenage years for a teenage male it's unbelievable that we actually survived this period of time because whatever little logic we had before we became teenagers it's out the door in Hebrew we don't hurt this ones from somebody that the the 6:16 in Hebrew is Shesha stright it's not Colchester so you know what it's called depeche yes right because when you're 16 year old guy if you can make it out alive of six to eight of teenagers it's amazing one of the greatest problems is that we totally shut down our ability to use logic it's gone so for a guy who's a teenager he will do anything in the world as long as someone says the following words I dare you you tell a 16 year old kid I dare you it means I have to do it no matter what I'm see a kid he's limping I'm like why you looking for he's like I off a roof Mike why'd you fall from he's like I I jumped like watched him before roof he goes because my my buddy dared me you know I'm saying like that's totally normal stuff I'm like why are you two staring at the Sun for your eyes are gonna burn he dared me does he even go longer and this is sort of like natural stuff so I remember when I was a teenager and I had that same level of logic I was on a program in Israel and it was a it was a great program and we had this this counselor this my drift who was an X it's on Khan he was an X paratrooper there in Israel and one morning they had this idea that they were going to take all the guys and take us to Masada but middle of the night and we would get to Masada and we would pray on top of Masada so they get I don't know if the tour director thought the cable cars were opening in the morning or that Americans wanted to run up Masada which is a bad idea or even take us to the back which is a snake path which was a lot easier for whatever it is we end up at the normal path to Masada and it's anyone's been to Masada before it's a huge mountain it's a huge way up and this busload of Americans show up and they're like other mules taking us up is there some kind of drone that's gonna carry us like how we getting there and there was like we're gonna go and these they're like no or not and we're sitting around like this isn't gonna happen so my mind my my true if my son Khan my paratrooper understands the psyche of guys and says hey guys I dare you when I was kid I was able to run this I dare you to run with me so every guy's like yeah I could do that that's fine no problem so the whole pack of guys who were minute ago were like Tara this is the worst day of my life is like yeah I could totally what I'm saddled like what's the big deal around the terminal once I played high school basketball so all of us start jogging up Masada if you don't you've been on Masada before in the beginning like you're talking like on the straight and then you start going uphill because it's a mountain and then thereafter wallet that's how it works so 1520 guys are like jogging together and then after like a while it one guys like yeah I think so into guys like man and they start dropping off one by one by one I'm a very competitive guy I happen to be in the front of the line and I turn around I didn't realize there's only three guys left because everyone's like yeah hasta luego we'll meet you on the top after we grab a drink because we've dried for five minutes so I turn around these three guys left once three guys left there's no choice you're in that pack so I'm running there's no way I'm missing it and it's yeah there's no way I'm jogging up I'm jogging up I'm like dying I'm like coughing blood I'm like cursing at the guy and he's like you can't you know totally fine it's okay I'm totally fine and we're going up and going up I'm like delirious and like saying goodbye to my family and we're going up higher I'm like no problem my god this is not a problem or even jogging I can't even feel it and we're going up Anna and I'm like I'm ready to like saying sure mom think you're doing V Joey and we get finally to the upper thing and I'm like huffing and puffing and just and the guys like how wasn't make fine I didn't even feel it it's totally okay and we get up the top and it's only him my the pot the extra paratrooper and three guys that make it everyone else is all the way down on the bottom amount and what and it happens to be there's like nobody there because who in the world would go up at that hour so there's four of us walking Masada and it's like gorgeous the sun's coming up and there's nobody there and this this council is my drift sits us down and knows because he's so good it's actually a high-ranking person in Israel and the Israeli government now he actually he sits us down and knows he's not gonna miss this moment so he sits us in this one place literally overlooking the Sun as it comes up and he says I want to tell you guys something when I as the paratrooper the last thing you do before I guess you get your wings or whatever it is you jog and then you end up jogging up Masada and the ceremony that he had with his troops wasn't the top of Masada and I want to tell you what the commander told us he sat us around in a semicircle in in a head he says you know why we're on this mountain for did all were here for said because 2,000 years ago the Jewish people had a bass hum English they had a temple and that temple got destroyed by the Romans and a couple of Jews ran from the temple and they ran up to this mountaintop you know what they wanted to do they wanted to just be Jews they don't want to take over the country they didn't want to fight the Romans they don't want do anything you know what they wanted to do they want to be Jewish people they just ones that had their own place to practice they wanted to do their stuff they wanted to serve Hashem not to bother anybody and they stood on this mountaintop but the Romans wouldn't have it so he came after them and they tried to get him down in a at first they didn't do it and the Romans knowing that Jews will never kill Jews who couldn't cut come up the mountaintop because you would throw things down to them they started to put Jews on the front lines and we're watching these people and Masada who only wanted to practice for them are sitting on Masada and they're watching these Romans take Jews and put them in the front and they wouldn't throw rocks down on their Jews and they knew that at some point the road was gonna come and kill them and they look to the right and no was there to help them and they look to the left no was there to help them and when the Romans got up they killed themselves you know how we're here for he told that this is his paratroopers because she needs my saddle o tipo Masada doesn't fall again we're done looking for help we're done looking and asking for someone to help us out we're done looking for the local government to protect us from a program we're done trying to knock on someone's door and say please can you just let us be Jews and not kill us and I'll take us to a gas chamber is that okay do you mind if I could just stay in my shul and you don't come in and kill me we're done asking we'll protect ourselves we're done begging well worry about ourselves thank you very much we'll raise an army we'll sit in our homeland and we'll worry about ourselves Masada doesn't fall again and he turns there was paratroopers and he said the following line that to this day I have never in my life for God and he revealed the greatest secret about the greatest force that we have inside us and he said my troops understand one thing about this army and about your life ain lo Yahoo yesh lo wrote that there is no I can't there is I don't want to because the greatest power that we have the greatest power that we have individually and collectively and nationally is not what we can and can't do it's what we want to do it's our rut zone and if your desire if your rut zone is something there is nothing in the world that will get in your way the most powerful force we have in our lives is ruts the Camorra teaches us but Derek Adam wrote say Leila ha Malik lino so where you want to go that's where God will take you not where you prefer to go not where you would like to go I speak to people all the time I go how come you're not more this we want to have a great marriage I want to have great children I want to be close to God I want to make more money I want I want on the Khmer zhing so go do it and it took yeah but I'm tired yeah but it's hard if my wife doesn't say this yeah my husband doesn't do this and at the end of the day what they're really saying is I don't want it I prefer it I prefer to be successful if it wasn't going to be so uncomfortable I'd prefer to have a great marriage if every time I open my mouth my husband just understood what I wanted and gave it to me I prefer to be a great dad but my kids don't yet know that when I speak it should be like the Word of God and listen to me because I wasn't hard to raise I'd prefer to be close to God I'd also prefer to sleep I'd also prefer I prefer to be really close to him but I I don't want to really actually go through the motions of really trying to figure out why I do what I just let me just check a box and think that he's gonna hit me what he wants the greatest power we have in our lives the morale says that in life and this is a crazy thing that he said only Myra L can say this it's better to have a Rutzen for- than to have no ruttin at all because at least you're alive when bill um went the wrong way God said you can go do you know why God let go bill bill him go the wrong way coz in his car in his heart that's what he wanted and God says what you want I can't stop you because ruts on there's everything for those that are more capitalistic you understand that the whole world was built on sphero's and our whole body relates to a sphere our minds are our minds our mouths are everything and the once fear that comes from the highest fear called kes air that's the sphere where we have a rut zone what you want what you desire that's what your life is like and most of us want to be great in life but we don't really have Rutzen for it and if you can look at your life at everything that you want in life it comes down to one thing the the choice between being comfortably mediocre or uncomfortably great because greatness is hard and when things are hard if you don't have a desire for it if you don't have a rut zone for it you're never gonna fight for it you're never gonna fight for what's right you're never gonna fight for what's yours because as soon as it gets hard your body says you don't want this bad enough it's so much better it's so much better to just be comfortable and if you look at people in lives and you get to the end of their lives you will find that the greatest regret people have in life is those areas of their life where they realize at the end of life that they could have had something and they just fought a little harder for it greatness and comfort go at each other every single day of our lives and the choice you make but where you put your ruts on that's where Hashem gives you your Hut's llaha ain't Hodari Omid lifts a hot zone patelliday huh God says I will open my hands o mosses BIA and I will satisfy you on one condition the whole hai you've got to be alive you gotta you can't be half dead you can't be a robot I'll give it your God says I want him your dad but you got to gotta want it got to hop on the floor for it you got to push for it when it gets hard you got a CVI deal and not stop climbing even though I'll weigh on the way up you may be hot tired you may be cold you may be coughing up blood you got to be a person that would rather dive on the floor to win than sit in the stands and be comfortable that's what it means to be a Jew that's what I put you on this earth for the soul that's inside us it's a soul that tells us every single day what are you settling for why are you settling for this it's a few more hours of sleep it's hard to not put your hand there do you know who you are you know what you're destined for and the minute we give up the ideal the minute we are happy with a little more comfort at that moment we lose who we are because gula is hard because Google is greatness and in every single time you see gula every time you will see Google in your life whether its family friends business God personal family our nation every time you will see gula in front of Google or will be an obstacle because it won't be good or if it's comfortable it doesn't work you have to stimulate it with ruts own God won't hand it to you then he'll make you weak God's not job is to make us weak he's telling us it's here for you take it just want it just kill for it just crawl for it never give up of what the ideal is what was this source of nations's Connie house what did they do they had a leader named Miriam who was Miriam watch her story and you will see the distinction between being comfortable and being great Miriam we meet her the first time she's a little girl and her father is the guzzle hador and at that moment didn't pyro makes it a decree every boy that's what is born gets thrown into the Nile and her father comes home one day and says Miriam bad news I'm separating from your mother and she goes separating from mommy why and he goes well we made this decree that because every time a boy is born we throw him into the denial we decided what's the point of having children 50% is gonna be in denial it's too much pain for the Jewish people so we're separating from our wives and she said you're separating from your wives a little girl you can't do it daddy goes how calm she goes don't you understand you're gonna be destined to bring the next ghoul you're worse than powder she tells her father mention a little girl's part of the Goblet door you've power only decreed on the men by leaving mommy by breaking up families you're gonna leave your you're destroying the men and the women and he was so moved by her that the mattress tells us he brought her into this in front of the Sanhedrin of big rabbis tell him what you told me and she says it in the future machetes gonna come for my father you guys are worse than him you're worse than prior to giving help you want to reduce the pain of our people how're we gonna build a nation for the future don't you see hula don't you see it in front of you that were here to be redeemed we just didn't wanna bring pain to our people and Miriam starts her career and she has one thing in her head because when you're a slave you know what you want more than anything in the world a drop of comfort you see people that are slaves to their jobs to their lives it's 2018 between the things on their hips and the phones and their jobs and traffic their slaves all they want to do in life is sleep the greatest pleasure we have is sleep we wake up in the morning it's like we're breaking up with our pillow you're like goodbye pillow I miss you so much okay fine ten more minutes I'll be late I won't shower snooze you know what I'll be complete I'll click the unemployment it doesn't matter you know whatever I had to do on some cancel my plans I just cuz there's no greater pleasure than sleep to a three-year-old you know three-year-olds three-year-olds take on the entire world right anyone have a three-year-old at home you know at the greatest force you have in your house is a three-year-old you'll be given three-year-old a cookie what do they do I have another hand you know and you go one per customer and they go he goes I will stand here for the rest of my life and he's there looking what do you do right away here you go cookie you give me 35 40 foot huh doesn't matter you go up against a three-year-old today my three-year-old wanted something I didn't even have it in the house he sat on my lap today it sat on my lap and cried for it for 25 straight minutes no stop we went crazy my wife my daughter left the house to a neighbor to get the thing because we can't beat the three-year-old to a three-year-old you know the greatest the greatest enemy in the world the three-year-old is sleep 5 a.m. I'm up ah cuz you know we're three old has inside him rots own got a world to conquer not scared of anything we make one failure and we're giving up already you ever watch it one year old try to walk it's like a clown show if it was us we tried twice we crawl into a car and learn how to drive to him he doesn't care you have watch the three old and supermarket with mommy forget that she think she's gonna get him she goes I gave you a treat before we get in the car if you're a good boy maybe I'll give you and get back into the car and thrill it's like yeah uh-huh just wait - we get in public honey don't worry about it yeah she gets in there he looks over he goes mommy cookie she's like no remember we made a deal he's like she's like he turns his brothers like 18 seconds I own her three-year-old you know what you know message to three-year-old for cuz before the world takes us and says keep on running keep on running keep on running keep on running you're not so great you're not so great you're not so great you're not good at math you must be stupid you're not gonna be English must be stupid oh yeah that's great someone's better than you some better you're not gonna play before the whole world takes us and breaks us into these little machines they just want to be comfortable we were once all of us were once 1 2 & 3 years old we all walked around with rocks on for the lot for life we now listen 3 olds have little brains they have Rutzen for cookies look can you imagine if you kept that heart and you just upgraded your mind we would take over the world Miriam was that little girl that never lost her heart ever when the bull sure was born and the measures tells us that as he was born than not that the decree was still going on and when her when his mom when your heaven gave birth she turned to Miriam and yelled at her and said where is your prophecy now I got to give him up and Mirim didn't say one word young Miriam did she warped Moshe to the Nile because she knew for sure he was gonna be saved because Miriam never lost sight of what is important it's not about being comfortable it's gula Miriam and the women you know they used to do with the end when we had the Mishkan the women donated their mirrors and motions didn't want to take it and they told most you have to take their mirrors do you know why because all the men were sitting in the fee after working hard the measures tells us and you know what they wanted comfort they're working so hard you know what I want him a slave you know what I want less slavery goula stop it stop it stop it just give me an hour off of work goula Promised Land easy just give me a second where I can sleep just give me a pillow family kids no way and the women would get themselves all dressed up and they were going to the into the fields and they would encourage the guys to build families again because the women understood one thing we're not settling for comfort we're not settling for a couple of hours off of work we're not settling for them telling us that you'd be lucky if you make it out alive we're not playing the game of a slave master telling us if you could just get a little bit less if you don't get killed we turn tisha pup sometimes into a game of let me tell you the work story that ever happened us ever so we get scared and cry and then we think tisha bub is I hope that we get to a place where they don't kill us that's the goal for us now that's what we've turned ourselves into a nation that just doesn't want to get killed if you could tell me a story of where somebody came and killed us and then I go and only are killed and I want to eat that's dish above that's my goal in life but just don't kill me and then we find out to thank God that finally the UN has one person that ever said by the way you're all anti-semites can you stop we're like yeah and by the way it's amazing and we find these things that happen to us and then there's restaurants and this this this schools and all of a sudden we walk around go look we get to have Jewish stars on the streets and we get to have food that we eat and we have apps telling us things and they're not gonna kill us everywhere we go to Israel look we're good it's good and they tell us oh no your once died like oh I hope I don't have that I'm happy to stay in my house and be good just I want to be comfortable I'll become oh my house to be comfortable my goal in life is to build a home that's big enough that I'm comfortable I want my car to be comfortable I want my whole life you know my whole goal in life is so many of us live with just give me a comfortable life that's it not too much not so much da burning no tockman wouldn't kill anybody either Comfort and Miriam and those women said comfort you know we're playing for we're playing for Cola you know why they made tambourines for because every single day they went to that tambourine you know they said we're not playing for comfort we're playing for gula that tambourine was their way of saying uh-uh we're playing this on the way we're not playing for a little less pain we're every time they stitch that tambourine they said goola goola big go Ola and God says you have rots on fula you're not happy sleeping you don't okay if I don't just kill you for two minutes you want the prize God says you tapped into the kisser to the highest sphere of ruts own and you did it from me you did it because you believed in me but solution awesome which is close to notion said Canas that mentality

than it looks cuz what was the slaves doing what didn't moshus see that he changed yoshua 's name think about it for a second you're the jewish people two hundred ten years of slavery you get out of Egypt and they chase you you get out of it out of the out of the Yamcha and then you know water then you know food then you get a mo leg hits you you get the taller than the hi hey gal it's exhausting you know where they are right now they're literally right in front of their in a nice spot in the desert the clouds of glory I don't have covered her around them it's gorgeous air conditions on 69 no one's paying a bill Mon from heaven the air Miriam you think the bear Marin was a well you know the bear Miriam was it was an overflowing well you know that the head of the tribes would take their steps would create a little line from the bear Miriam into their into their tribes and it would fill up with water that means there were rivers everywhere there were in the lagoon in the desert the Jewish people were literally living in a Pesach program in the desert it was Arizona it was gorgeous can you imagine they were learning they were hanging out and they were finally quiet and God goes hey guys good news Promised Land right there and they go promise you know we are finally we're comfortable and we'll learn Torah no no no it's because of Torah it's cuz of Torah it's working food I

no one's killing us thank God she continued and God goes that's the promise line that's cool up that's it that's the desk thing they go yeah you know I got I get battles I gotta take fortified cities we got a plan to hope that it that it rains I got a setup governments and systems you know how many years we got to get to to get to a place where we're comfortable again and they walk in they walk on you know they say we're gonna die you know why cuz greatness is way to hardened and gula is way too hard I'd rather be comfortably mediocre than uncomfortably great and the Kurdish bro who says you want to know what tears of vein are I'm not gonna assure you we think row enough that I sounds like you cry tears of vain like as if like God comes with like a bat and goes you cried for nothing I'm gonna swing at you forever as if Hashem Cal Rock'em vacanam is doing that you know coach bro who's doing he's saying this is the definition of destruction I'm not gonna kill you god forbid I'm your dad I'm gonna teach you a lesson you want to know what tears of vain are you want to know what destruction looks like in your families you want to know what a life looks like that's destroyed I'm gonna tell you what destroyed life looks like it looks like a life or you have this much potential but you're too scared to fight for it it looks like a nation that has the promised land in their grasps but it's too hard to fight for something that they're gonna go knocking to know what's going to go on so they'd sit back in a desert nowhere then fight for the promised land destruction is comfort because greatness is difficult viscose notion said Conyers the rut zone for greatness and that's our question for tonight if you want to know what I think Tish rub is all about I believe tissue bob is about one thing one day of your life being real what do I want do I actually want cool up do I even know what that even means when I sit on the floor and say mr. Shem the basin maybe there's next year do I really mean it meant to show me the flash should be over since that I can eat when I say mission we should be huge lime do I really mean I don't want LaRouche lime because I don't know if it's probably really hot over there and my house is beautiful I just build it am I really meaning when I say me Rochelle next year am I really meaning more comfort more comfort more comfort what do I want because guess what if we don't want goula we ain't getting in I don't care how great much we pat ourselves on the back told you that hug where we're doing this is wonderful look how great big is she was our that's beautiful look how awesome we are it's beautiful but the end of the day if you don't want kula why should you deserve it if you don't want gula if you've never thought to yourself what does gula mean and do I want it why do you think it's gonna come what are we sitting on the floor for let's be real we're just plain we're just joking around we're telling God don't kill us make us comfortable let's stay in the fields let's stay in them would stay in the mid bar why do we think that we're better than them if at the end of the day we were making the exact same choice I'm the same Jew that I was last year I do not want to get uncomfortable with God I don't want to learn something I don't know already period I don't want to have a better marriage because it's hard to give myself up to somebody else when I think I'm right I don't want to be more successful because I don't want to sleep less I don't want to be more charitable because I don't want to give more why do we pretend to ourselves that we want to be more than we actually want to be why can't we just be real for one minute and say I don't want gula I want to be out in gullies I want just more comfort that's what we're on the floor for that's always just sitting here because gods like I know what you want that's what you're still here you think you're fooling me you're joking me your great-grandmother's we're sewing tambourines you thinking are you serious you know what you're on the floor every single year because you don't want to go anywhere if you wanted to go to your shil I'm for real if you wanted to go over for real if you wanted me to be revealed to the world for real if you want the whole world to know that that's Hashem and we get to walk the streets and someone go well you're Jewish that's amazing you want to have the UN one person like us if you want the whole you and they say I can't believe all these years we're not in the nation that brought us morality we're worried about like no you want to go on airplanes that any security detail you want to walk the streets and see how share in your life you want to feel inspired 24/7 then want it and if you don't want it God says get it on the floor because it ain't gonna come cuz I can see what's in your heart you know we're living in like it's almost if I remember hearing a story I expanded on the ready this is bait this is this is inspired this is inspired by a true story imagine if you will there's a couple that got married young had a kid young and this guy

store for you do you what you know it's like to walk into cancer wards and no one will ever be sick again you know what it's like to have me in this world that's all we're on the floor that's tissue buff dish above is for one thing rut so it's for us to sit down and say what am i playing for in my life what am i playing for I'm done being mediocre and I'm done being comfortable I want Cola I wanted all God I want you I want it all and when a Jew sits once a year and says I want it all I want you in this world I want to look up in the in the morning and see you and feel you when a Jew

we're ready to do till he does he works all of his efforts on one thing getting us to not want it because don't want it it can't come so the entire effort right now is to break it's to weaken us to make us feel comfortable to allow us to want just to not get killed to allow us to want just to be a little bit more comfortable he puts us right back to where we started its amazing if you think about it we are right back where we started Google is at the doorsteps the Jews already came out of Egypt they're at the goal line we're at the goal line if they were at the goal line it was time it's time now all that's left is the Russians it Neos not the females in their bodies is the females in what they uncovered what's left is for us to get real just stop faking it to dig into our hearts and say I'm not settling anymore I'm done god I'm not diving anymore just for another this when I go to schmatko I'm done saying can you just get me a few more dollars a few more dollars come on I'm diving for you and go Ola I want it all I want the whole world to know you uh-huh I want the whole world to be peaceful I want it all and when it's you can you imagine if we were this generation can't imagine if we were if we can be these people real people do you imagine for you to step out of our shells of comfort beat the eggs of horror called Western civilization that beats it and it's the best civilization everyone is beautiful that beats us into a world where our whole goal in life is a couple more square feet whole goal in life is just to get something that someone doesn't else has if you imagine if we were those types of Jews that walked around and in our core said what do I want everything I won't go Ola and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna stop crying because guess what god I'm three years old and you're my dad so I'm gonna cry and cry and drive you nuts because that's what three-year-olds do you better hold on dad because either me or you and I'm not giving up bring ghoul up or you'll hear me fetching until I die that's what it means to be a Jew that's what our nation needs a few good Jews that's where we are that's what tonight's all about and my bra huh I might feel oh my greatest hope is that I don't die in a generation or we could have had a gula but we're just so happy with a little comfort what a waste what a waste can you imagine if we get up to show my him and God goes you could have lived in a time of gula you settled for a few more dollars you settled for your family getting done when everyone in the world could have found their one if you just wouldn't ask me for it with a little bit of heart you're so happy to be comfortable when I built you with the ability to be great where's your tambourine where's your tambourine your chew what's other looked at pole anymore yeah holy Sh Lord said this is what can be this is how it could be can you imagine this is who we can be we should have this horse to be these people you have no one else did it bus out but us it'd be worth it it would be worth it if we didn't see gula and we died and got the Shema him and said it's not on my back not my fault you stand before God and go it's not my fault god I gave it to you I gave it to you keep Majid keep matching your kids being like this can I join your family being like this I just having a family like this a family you ask your kids what you want and they say go Ola and not an iPhone can I get a family that does this who does this imagine a family where the kid wants something besides just more distractions in life what they want to actually live imagine kids walking the streets and their parents giving them in their milk Cola Cola tambourines very young Kym machen being this person that's why we're on the floor because God says until you become these people I am not bringing it because any father and any mother knows I will not let my kids be weak I will do it a million times because your strength is more important than your weakness and this is my brother that this dish above we should stop faking it and start living it we should spend time before this fast is over forget the bagel we'll eat plenty we can live without eating with Jews we've consumed more food dish Shabbos than most people have consumed in the entire period of Holocaust the prep the prep for the fast is like forget it you're good you your camels now you can go the week we have 24 more hours to spend a few minutes with ourselves and make sure that this fast does not end until at least we are 1 percent more rot zone for gula and if we did that and did it
