>> Okay, let's get into it tonight.
And before we get into it, we're gonna
turn off to coach first to open it up.
Coach, Sunday night. Interesting topic,
interesting speaker.
What are we doing here this Sunday
night? Sleeping. It's cold winter. It's
snowing.
Thank you. Thank you very much. Welcome
everyone. Let's get real with coach.
Here we are
number 252
and we have Jake Turks with us to have a
conversation. We're coming off last
week. We had Dr. Rosemarin discussing
anxiety. very interesting topic and how
to deal with it
and he mentioned you know the concept
that it might even be something to
embrace to listen to so that it can help
us in life and coming over there talking
about this week and we have this
headlines of danger Israel some people
could be like oh my what's going on
so many people would say kalis you know
we're not in danger hashem watches us
which is amazing then Hashem should
continue watching us. On the other hand,
when you have people that have thoughts
and different
things they have in their heads, the
first step is always, you know, call a
friend, talk, discuss. Let's see what's
going on, what is, what is true, what's
not true, what do we know, what we don't
know. Ultimately,
Hashem watches us and we have to dive in
and do what we need to do as cla as we
know. That's what we're going to focus.
But tonight is just
someone who knows a little bit. I don't
think Jake has all the answers, but it's
to be able to have a discussion to see
what he sees and what we feel and see,
you know, let's discuss it. Let's see.
And um obviously at the end we turn to
Hashem and we say, you know, Hashem runs
the world. But question is what do we
have to do? What are we, you know, in
this? What are we how how can we invest?
What are the steps that we can do? What
are the things that we see? How do we
understand it? And sometimes you don't
understand and that's fine.
So we should have a lot of tonight.
And if you have any questions,
here we are.
Thank you, coach. Beautiful opening.
Okay, let's get into it. Tonight's share
Jake Turks. How much danger are the
Jewish people in? A candid political and
spiritual discussion with White House
correspondent Jake Turks. I'm going to
read your bio. I want to say one other
thing. No, let me say first which is
very interesting fact Turks is going to
be talking a lot about safer
>> which is next which is this week's
parishes
and just interesting that the week that
he came on that's you know just
interesting why we waited this week and
it ended up working out like that I'm
going to read your bio and Rab Turks
please take it away Jake Turks is this
white correspondent the chief political
analyst forb magazine known for sharp
questions and calm respectful style
Turks has earned a reputation as one of
the most trusted Orthodox voices in
Washington. He brings deep insight into
US politics, national security, and how
government decisions impact the Jewish
community. Again, thank you for coming
tonight and making time. The floor is
yours.
>> Wow, this feels like such a heavy topic.
I mean, I thought we're just like here
to chill. a bunch of friends, friendly
faces, and
we're definitely uh experiencing some
unusual times. And what makes these
times extra unusual is the fact that we
have swarm that tell us exactly what we
can expect and what we need to do about
it. So imagine if in the times of
McGillastaster, the time of the PUM
story, someone discovered in the middle
of the story, someone discovered a real
copy of the McGill and so they're able
to follow along with events as they're
unfolding.
That would definitely have made that
experience a lot more reassuring, right?
And so they're looking into the McGill
and they see that there's going to be
this character Hmon.
Now maybe maybe the guy's real name was
Mimuhan, but seeing how the different
events line up and how the people line
up, you're able to figure out what's
going to happen.
It turns out that the people living in
the times of McGillis didn't have that
luxury. We on the other hand do. We have
not just safer there are other fararm of
n that describe the events that are
happening today and they uh give us
insight into what we can expect.
Obviously we can't understand exactly
what the novi meant just on its own
which is why we have certain mafarim
that help us understand the context of
what is unfolding why it's unfolding and
what we can anticipate in the very near
term so safer via is the shortest safer
in Tanakh it is one chapter long I call
it the TLDDR safer it's a safer that was
written for the generation that can't
handle more than a single chapter for
the entire story. It's 21 sukim
and it follows a single story line.
So the story is about the destruction of
Adam.
Who is Edom? So there are two coalitions
that have always wanted for themselves
and have employed different tactics over
the course of history to try to take
Israel away from us. One of them is
Adam. The other is Ishmal.
I think it's it's quite uh understood
what the coalition of Ishmael looks
like. The coalition of Edam is maybe a
little bit um
a little bit less defined, but Kazal uh
deliated as the coalition of Christian
nations uh what we would know as Western
civilization.
And so the tactics that Yeshal uses to
try to get is more by the sword. The
tactics that Adam uses to try to get at
this role is a little bit more
underhanded, but they both have the same
uh goal in common.
And so
Ivad starts out with the destruction of
Edom, which is supposed to happen before
the revelation of Messiah.
So how much later does Messiah show up?
The timeline is not uh isn't isn't um
spelled out exactly, but we know that a
prerequisite before Messiah has to be
the destruction of Edin because every
nation that messed with the Jewish
people all throughout history has has
been wiped out. Every single nation. The
only one that's still standing
is Adam.
And Yermia Na'vi says that Edim
is going to be they're they're going to
be the last one standing of all of all
the empires that started with us.
Everyone's going to be destroyed. Edim
will be the last. In last week's para,
there's a medish that says that Hashem
showed Yakov in his dream. Hashem showed
him all the four gulluses that his
children are going to go through. But
then by the gul of Adam, he saw the
malim going up the ladder and he doesn't
see them coming down and they're going
higher and higher and higher and he's
like hello when is this gullus going to
end? This is going on indefinitely.
And Hashem tells him even if they reach
the stars
I'm still going to destroy them
eventually. and that is um posal from.
So he starts out by saying in his in his
lifetime when he's when he lived 2,885
years ago, Edom was a very small
um insignificant
tiny little nation off to the side of
Erisrol.
And then
they end up founding the Roman Empire
and they take over the known world at
the time. And then they come back in a
third iteration under the Vatican and
the spread of western civilization. A
quick quick uh trivia point. Why is it
known as western civilization? Where
does the term western civilization come
from?
Western civilization was distinct from
the east. So uh Rome had split into two.
There was Bzantium known as the east
Roman Empire and then there was Rome
itself which was the western Roman
Empire. So western civilization is is a
direct link to what was then western
Rome. So he says one day Edim is going
to take over the known world under Rome
and then they're going to get so
powerful that they will be building
bases in outer space.
So when you rise up like an eagle
and when you build bases among the stars
from there hashem is going to bring you
down to your destruction. So is going to
be the most powerful nation in the world
at the time. They'll be the most
powerful co coalition of nations says
that the entire technological all the
technological advancements will be
exclusive to Adam. They will innovate
everything. The entire industrial
revolution will be exclusively Adam.
And then Adam is going to use their
leverage to create a coalition of all
the nations. This coalition is going to
claim to stand for peace, but they're
really going to be the opposite of
peace.
And this is the coalition that Hashem is
going to judge when Msiah does show up.
And it says and Asov that Mashiach will
ascend Mount Zion. He will judge Harov.
So we would assume Harov means the
mountain of Asov. But what is that? Says
the Bossar. Harov means the coalition of
nations under Asov. So that's where the
story ends. How do we get from the point
of the space race to their final
destruction and their judgment?
So he says uh in Pikdal continuing he
says it's going to unfold when
they allow criminals and bad people into
their country and they'll be so arrogant
that they'll there will be this sense of
who cares if they come into like we're
so powerful like why should we be why
should we be concerned with a few
thousand migrants?
We're we have nukes. our allies have
nukes. We have the F-35.
Who cares? There's nothing these
migrants can do to us. And so it'll be
the same arrogance that enables them uh
to explore inter intergalactic uh
colonies
will be the same arrogance that will
say, "Who cares? Who cares if uh our
culture is eroding? We're we're so much
more overpowered than everyone else in
the world. There's nothing that we need
to be afraid of. And that will be their
own undoing.
Their militaries are going to be
distracted over a conflict on a certain
border.
And
while that's happening, there's going to
be this event that is described as a
kamas against the Jews.
Kamas has the word which means hostages.
There will be an event of hostages
against the Jewish people that will have
been secretly supported by Edom which we
know the biggest funders of Kamas
through UNRA was the United States under
Joe Biden and Europe the third biggest
funer Iran got their money from the
United States. So the three biggest
funders of kamas were all edi
entity masquerading as a legitimate
international organization but it's the
same edomim that refused to allow the
Jews to have control of of after World
War II. Um you know the UN to this day
still claims ownership over Jerusalem
and and uh uh the surrounding areas. So
instead of returning Israel to the Jews,
they're still holding on to it. They're
still claiming it as their own.
And then so Paku talks about kamas
is there's a reference to the warriors
of Yemen. If you want to open a uh and
check
talks about the the leaders of of Edim
of Western civilization losing their
minds and the knowledge suddenly uh
becoming obsolete
and um and then
right after kamas describes October 7th
it says the day that foreigners and
strangers will break on your wall and
take people hostage and they'll frame it
as a mad gamble over the liberation of
Shaim. And from that point, Hashem says,
"I know that Adam is really has really
um chosen their sides and they've chosen
the side that's against the Jewish
people." So,
this is going to be the final test for
Adam. Is Eden going to support Hamas?
Uh enable them, give them backing and
give them the illusion of motivation um
of momentum on their side. You know,
every time kamas was ready to uh
capitulate, you had uh western countries
making announcements like recognition of
a Palestinian state and then they were
like actually you know what, let's just
keep fighting. that just to give one
example. So um also the protests in the
west has has given them a lot of um has
given them the impression that if if
only they can hold out long enough the
west is going to come to their defense.
So the west has been playing both sides
and the navi says that from this kamas
is going to
um unfold
the
assured destruction of Adam. And so we
see what came out of this kamas was the
protests that have been sweeping major
western cities especially in Europe. And
um the we're talking about
in the vicinity of a quarter of a
million to half a million protesters in
major cities like like Rome, Paris. Look
at what's going on in Brussels just this
week. uh Germany, Sweden, uh you know,
so the says that from the
from this against the Jews,
the nations of Edom will be covered in
humiliation
until they are finally wiped out
forever. Very, very heavy. A lot of very
heavy concepts over here.
>> Just one second.
>> And can you hear me? Can you hear me?
I'm just saying that he's reading
straight from the ha of this week's
para. If you open if you if you go into
this week's reading plus I just want to
make sure everybody understands it. I'm
following along with him. 21. So I'm
sorry. Just continue. I just want to
make sure people understand what you're
reading.
>> No. No. Sure. Sure. If people are able
to follow inside
>> he's saying it says it there word for
word.
>> Yes. Yes. You don't need any any special
uh any any special
>> any or some the in this week's para 21
word for word continue.
>> Yes.
So then the novi goes through a bunch of
warnings what what eddim should not do
how eddim should not behave after this
uh the day of this kamas against the
Jews. He says, "Don't scrutinize your
brother. Uh don't um don't open your
mouth to him. Don't rejoice uh at his uh
at his hardships. Uh don't take him uh
to the courts of of the nations.
Uh it says uh don't keep his hostages
locked up any longer than necessary." A
bunch of violations that we see that
Edom had violated right from the outset.
And it finishes off that Hashem is going
to punish all of the nations precisely
in the same manner that they tried to
destroy the Jewish people.
So if you want to look at which nations
are are being destroyed by assimilation,
those were the nations where the the
largest percent of Jews were assimilated
out of existence. So they're being
assimilated out of existence. Similarly,
the countries where the pgrams took
place are right now having pagrum style
attacks that are devastating their their
lands. So you just look at how these
countries are being destroyed and it is
measure for measure how they had been
attempting to destroy the Jewish people
for the totality of the previous
millennium.
And uh then it uh it ends off with the
Jewish people uniting. And once the
Jewish people are united
um and then when that happens base of
Lakash our enemies will be like straw
and they will they will just be devoured
without us having to uh
uh make any special kind of effort on
our part.
And then uh we are going to settle
certain lands. It mentions five specific
areas that the Jewish people are going
to settle after uh this war has come to
its final conclusion. And one of those
lands is the lands of the pushim which
we know the lands of the pushim the
there were five major cities of the
pisham historically. uh four of the five
are already
part of Israel and the last Palishni
city that is not under uh is Jewish uh
uh sovereignty yet is Gaza. So it says
uh the Jews are going to settle
five territories that are that we
currently don't um don't control yet. Uh
Gaza being one of them, Samaria being
another one. and that that is going to
be uh as an outcome of the war. Now this
war
is
this is interesting because the war is
not over yet and
essentially we are fighting against
three
somewhat um indestructible forces from a
spiritual uh perspective.
One enemy is the pushim. the pushim. We
were never able to eradicate the pushim
because the pushim the source of the
pushim um cababalas farm talk about it
that the pushim have some some very
powerful uh sources uh that are
protecting them.
Um the word pishim is the gimatria 10
times alle kim. So the Ben Sasker says
this means that
you can't defeat them in natural battle.
Uh the only way you can you can defeat
them is through um through uh spiritual
forces that are way beyond
uh my understanding.
So I'm not going to speculate on another
is Yeshal. Yeshal also has he has the
the the
from says
a gave a very very strong power that
he's able to be directly connected to
Hashem
their
is the way they davin is a very um
legitimate acceptable form of prayer and
they're able to connect directly to
Hashem in a way that other nations
aren't. Other nations, their source of
power comes from when Jews uh commit
sins. When Jews sin, that gives power to
the other nations. Ishmal is the only
nation that's able to uh subside on its
own power. So, they're very hard to
defeat. And then the third is Amalik.
And um Amalik is a war that we've been
dealing with generation after
generation. So, Perk Derbles mentions 10
nations that we are going to be fighting
against.
um before Messiah. And among those 10
nations, seven of them are just random
Ammon, Moyov, whatever people who happen
to be residing in the area, but three of
those are Yeshol, Amalik and the Pushim.
And that they are intermingled all
across the uh the region. So, uh, within
all of these all of these different, uh,
battles that we've been fighting across
more than a half dozen theaters, uh,
there've been elements of Yesh, Pishim
and Amalik in all of them. And um the
only way to be able to win this battle
is with certain spiritual powers that in
its most simplistic form come from us
treating each other um the way we're
meant to. Uh Jewish unity
loving other Jews especially when it's
not easy to uh that gives us the uh the
power to be able to overcome our
enemies.
So this is a basic overview of what the
player talks about
and um uh I think uh I think this this
covers enough of a of a basic that we
can we can uh try to delve deeper go
into some questions and see what we come
away with.
>> Okay for the opening um very very
interesting I'm just looking it up now.
I'm just reading um everybody can listen
to it later and hear it again. Um but
definitely this week's after open the
English and read it. It's they're very
very fascinating. We're going to do
>> well to be to be just to be clear the um
English translations most of them were
were written before October 7th um and
even anything more recent does not
factor in the uh events that have been
happening as the literal translation.
It's it's when you understand when
you're aware of all of the major events
that have been happening and that are
currently unfolding and you look into
the into you see how every single puss
matches
exactly with what's playing out in the
world right now. So if you look at um
any of the existing translations and it
doesn't translate kamas as literally
kamas
um I I just remind you to check the
tarum tarum translates kamas as
hostages. um look into uh the Benet
Saskar has a has a safer on on um on a
uh the Malba and Abarbanel understand
as talking about the the conflict that's
going to unfold right before Msiah. In
fact, um the Malbum says that
right at the end of IA is when the war
of Gym is uh is going to begin. So
that's where we're holding in the
timeline.
Look at the translations, but also uh
try to try to see it from the uh prism
of the current events and how they fit
into the words of the Na'vi.
>> Okay, let's [clears throat] take a poll.
Um everybody, we have tricks here.
Obviously, he's a little bit in a
different circle than we are, and he
sees things a little bit maybe
differently and he has maybe, you know,
he's looking different. So, anybody has
any questions? Everything's on the
table. Feel free to ask. Let's take a
very basic poll and then we'll go into
live questions. Okay? Anybody wants to
ask a live question, please text us over
here on the chat and live go first. Here
we [clears throat] go. First question.
When you hear about the antmetic
incidents in news, what shows up most
for you? Five possible answers. Fear and
anxiety, anger, sadness, numbness. I
gotten used to it or confusion. Second
question, when you hear difficult news
about the world, what do you usually do?
First option, I dive when I turn for
strength and clarity. B, I try to stay
informed and educated. C, I avoid the
news. It's too much. Or D, I take
practical steps to feel safe or more
prepared. I don't know what that means.
Maybe buy a gun. Three. Um, do you think
the White House approach to Israel
affects how safe the Jews feel in
America? Four possible answers. Yes,
strongly affects it. B, somewhat. C, no,
not really. Or no. D, no connection at
all.
interesting questions. Okay,
>> just to get like into it a little bit.
Let's share the polls. Okay, two more
sec five more seconds and then we're
going to end it.
>> Well, uh the option I would go with for
number one isn't uh one of the choices.
Okay, let's let's end it and then let's
share it with everybody. Okay, number
one, when you hear about antic news in
the news in the news, what emotion shows
up for you? So, by far most people will
feel fear and anxiety. 43%. 18% anger,
21% sadness, 12% numbness, 6% confusion.
So, basically, I would say most people
overall are feeling tremendous amount of
anxiety and fear. Being honest, I mean,
we live in the world if you open the
news, if you don't open the news, maybe
you're good to go. But if you read any
type of news, Jewish news, not Jewish
news, doesn't seem too pretty, Turks,
what would you answer? Not from the five
answers.
>> Yeah. Um, so if you understand the the
the role and purpose that anti-semitism
plays, um, anti-semitism is not a fluke.
It is very much a part of the master
plan. Um, anti-semitism isn't here to
punish us as much as it is to encourage
us to turn closer to Hashem. What do I
mean?
Look at look at me, right? So, I wear a
white shirt in public. I have my pace,
my beard. If not for the cap, I would be
very obviously Jewish, right? Um, now
that's a joke. That's the stereotype of
the of the who puts on a cap and he
thinks that he blends in perfectly with
his surroundings.
This is my my public face. This is uh
how I walk around in public. I am not
scared of anti-semites. Um I really am
not. I pass their protests very often on
the way to to get to work. And the
reason I'm not scared of them is because
I put on fillin. Any Jew who puts on
fillain has nothing to be to be fearful
of. And so
the the point of antise-semitism, it's
not directed against me. It's directed
against people who who don't have a very
uh close connection to Yiddish and um
the kinds of people who are closer to
assimilating. It's to remind them, hey,
you're not one of us. We don't want you.
I'm not the um
obviously I'm I'm a very uh open target,
but at the same time
they're not um nobody can harm me unless
Hashem decided that that's what's going
to happen, which if in that case it
would happen anywhere. So um they don't
go after the confident Jews. They're
they're scared of the confident Jews.
They go after the Jews who are trying to
hide the Judaism. Those are the ones
that that they target and those are the
ones who tend to be the u tend to have
the most anxiety because they don't
understand
the the role that anti-semitism plays.
Now, not to be dismissive of the 2,000
years of anti-semitism and the people
have gotten hurt and have gotten killed
by it. The point is it exists
to remind us of what our true purpose in
life is.
It exists to remind us that we will
never be one of them.
The best thing we can do
uh let me give you an example. Okay.
Why is there um why do so many people
right now believe so many
ridiculous lies about the Jewish people?
anyone posts something on social media
against the Jews, they're going to get
thousands of people that are going to
retweet it and like it and comment on it
and they'll just accept it at face value
no matter how ridiculous it is. Why is
that? Well, for one, when we accept
lashinhara against fellow Jews, that
gives them the power to spread lashhar
against us. So, in a sense, what's the
anti-semite doing? He's reminding us of
of how devastating and how hurtful
Lashinhara is. If we get this message
and if enough of us resolve to change,
then they're no longer going to have
this particular kind of power. See what
I'm saying? So everything that they're
doing is a reflection of what it is that
we have we as Jews have to fix.
Essentially, they are messengers of
Hashem.
They're not
um like I said, they're not a fluke.
They're not a
um they're not a mistake. [snorts] They
are part of the design.
And the sooner we're able to understand
the role that they play and how it's
meant to help us change to become better
people,
the longer the state of fear and anxiety
is going to last. Okay.
Does that make sense?
>> Yeah. Very good. Let's go to the next
question. When you hear difficult news
about the world, what do you usually do?
52% of people they turn to for strength
and clarity. 29% they try to stay
informed and educated. 12% avoid the
news, it's too much. 6% take practical
steps to feel safer and more prepared.
I
>> I mean all of these are are very um it's
not that all of these are valid
suggestions. Uh this we need an all of
the above approach. You have to dive and
turn for strength and clarity. Stay
informed and educated. Avoid the news
when it's too much because it will get
too much at times. and definitely take
practical steps to feel uh to feel
safer. You absolutely want to do all of
these four.
>> Okay, let's go to the next question cuz
people want to ask live. Let's let's get
to it. There's so much to cover tonight.
Three. Do you feel the Do you think the
White House approach to Israel affects
how safe Jews feel in America? Most
people feel yes strongly affects it. And
45 and 42% feel somewhat. So the the 90%
of the people here tonight believe the
way the White House deals with Israel
and that whole situation is what makes
Jews feel safe in America. 11% no and 2%
no sh whatsoever. Turks, what what's
your opinion on that?
>> Okay. So
Adam destroyed the BA mikt.
there uh a few that say that Edom as
part of uh you know you broke it you got
to you got to fix it that Edm has to
enable us to rebuild not that they have
to be the ones to build it but they have
to give us the green light and enable us
to rebuild the bas mikdash um I'm
jumping straight to the end to the
endgame for a second what does this mean
this means that the leaders of Adam have
an opportunity to write a historic wrong
of 2,000 years
and if they take this opportunity
then they're going to Hashem is going to
take that very uh strongly into account.
So we see a White House that understands
this at least on a on a subconscious
level
and they have gone above and beyond to
do whatever makes sense to them uh as
being in the best interest of the
protection of the Jewish people. In
fact, uh there are cphabala that talk
about that before Mashiah is going to
come, Asov is going to have one final
chance to do chuva.
And what does Asov's chuva look like?
Asov has to make up for the things that
he messed up in his lifetime. So what
was Asov supposed to do in his lifetime?
He was supposed to protect Jacob while
he sits and learns. He's supposed to
help the Jewish people, make it easier
for Jews to to learn Tyra, uh protect
the Jewish people, um acknowledge that
the entirety of Israel belongs to the
Jewish people.
This is what Asov was supposed to do in
his lifetime and he didn't. So, it's
possible that through this
administration that Asov is is finally
able to have some closure for 2,000
years of of Asov doing the opposite of
what his mission originally had been.
Um, we have an opportunity for them to
to make it up to us in a very
significant way all the way at the very
very end of this uh 2000 plus year saga.
However, if uh the United States uh at
any point chooses not to uh not to take
a proactive role, uh the Jewish people
are going to be saved regardless. It's
um more a matter of
does a part of Edemption.
And for millions of Christians here in
America, the answer is yes. And they've
been um they've been some of our uh most
steadfast supporters and the Nav'i Amish
does uh does uh reference the fact that
there will be a edime there will be
remnants of Edim the the good people of
Edim the ones who supported the Jews
that they are going to survive and
they're the ones that will point up with
their finger and say
the entire world will acknowledge the
oneness of Hashem. who's going to be
around to acknowledge it? Those were the
um those who stood by the side of the
Jewish people when it was unpopular,
when it was dangerous to do so. So those
people are going to be rewarded. So
going back to the White House,
um
overall the White House uh has has done
things that have been uh very very
positive uh for the um for the Jewish
people.
At the same time, uh, we have no
guarantee that this is going to last
forever. So,
and if and there have been times when
we've been concerned like, hey, the
White House seems to be uh
saying things that make us feel
uncomfortable that uh don't seem to have
our best interest at heart. Well, when
that happens, think back to what I said
about anti-semitism.
It's always a message for us to improve
ourselves. It's always about us becoming
better people.
And so
if if we do if we do what we're what
we're supposed to do, then we really
don't need to be so concerned about
what's happening in the news because as
long as we're doing the right thing,
that's a step in the right direction.
the more people who do the right thing
and every person in their own life, you
know what that right thing is. You know
what the right thing is? The the the
says, "How does a person know what their
purpose on this world is?" How do you
know what you're supposed to fix, what
you're supposed to correct? We don't
know this. We have no idea. We really
don't know. We're we're grappling
blindly. However, you know who does
know? Your knows. Your knows your
purpose in this world. And so your
Yateshara is going to go out of his way
to make it difficult for you to achieve
your mission. And so he he suggests he
says look at where the Sahara is
expending most of his efforts and
realize that that is precisely the thing
that you have to fix.
So that's uh that's the uh answer to the
the White House question.
>> Okay, everybody all questions on the
table. everybody with text member live
questions go first. Um there's so much
to ask. Let's go first. You're on. Hi.
>> Hi. Okay. I have several questions.
Let's start with the last point that you
said in terms of um what we can do to um
correct within our people. What is your
best guess as am what would you say from
your perspective?
Uh, so why was the basikdash destroyed?
Do
>> you remember the I'm sorry.
>> Please tell me because the answer that I
have that we all have apparently we
don't really understand what is.
>> Okay. Um, we understand what is that? We
understand. The question is what what
does mean? What is the opposite of
means hating someone for no reason?
That's that's
um
does not necessarily mean loving someone
for no reason because that's easy. You
see a you see a Jew with a flat tire on
the side of the road, you're able to
help them. You'll help him even if he's
a total stranger. You'll you'll uh do
acts of kindness even when you don't
have any reason to. You'll do it anyway.
The real challenge is loving someone
when you have every justifiable reason
to hate the guy. And the point is that
hate is about it's about the it's about
the person hating. It's not about
whether the recipient of the hate
deserved to be hated or not. It's
don't hate your fellow in your heart.
Don't hate other people especially when
you have every reason to hate them. Um
the example I give is let's say uh
notoria. So you see a group of people
holding uh Palestinian flags and they're
marching with their enemies. What's your
first instinct? Your instinct is of like
you want to hate them. But guess what?
You hating them doesn't change them. It
only hurts yourself. Don't hate them.
Don't hate them. Just treat them like
you would treat any other Jews.
>> What should be the response? any group
of people.
>> So, okay. Uh uh yeah, I see uh coach is
uh a little something to talk about
because
>> well I mean that I imagine that that
dismantling that is an entire
conversation in and of itself. It's a
very complicated
with to not hate somebody really. We're
going to have to get into a much fuller
conversation. So, with your permission,
can I move on to a different question
for now?
>> Um, sure. But I'm not convinced it's
complicated at all. Uh, let me show you
why how it's not that complicated.
Why do our enemies feel so comfortable
in the company of Jews with long beards
and strimals? What makes them feel so
comfortable? I mean these people they
also say they say
they also believe that Msiah is going to
come. They believe that the B mikdash
will be rebuilt and our bias will go
back to the Jewish people. They believe
all of this. So why do our enemies feel
so comfortable around them? And the
answer is when we push other Jews away
that gives the the Sultan the power to
use those Jews against us. But if we
proactively decide that we're going
we're going to love them no matter what.
No matter how hurtful and painful it is,
if we just make this effort, then then
our enemies will no longer feel
comfortable around these people and they
will reject them. The only reason why
they're accepting them is because we
rejected them. When a Jew rejects
another Jew, that gives that gives our
enemies power over those people and then
they could use them against us. That
it's it's not that complicated.
Okay, with your permission, can I go on
to a different question?
>> Okay, thank you. So, is it does it um is
it incumbent upon us in America to begin
to think about making aliyah in a
serious way? And what about making an
alliance with the Christians to help us
do that, to help finance that return and
mass?
>> Uh I mean to make aliyah, the Israeli
government will finance uh I mean
they'll they'll pay your airfare and not
not groups not whole groups
not enmas they won't
>> so for that we need a bigger larger
philanthropical
um effort and I don't think that's to be
found inside of I don't think anybody is
coming forward and saying let's help
everybody start to move
>> right um and even if everybody does move
is there enough housing in Israel I mean
you have 1.5 million Orthodox Jews
orthodox in in the United States, where
are we all moving to?
>> So, there are prefab option. There are
really prefab options in Europe that,
you know, are being considered. In fact,
you probably saw what I saw this week
that the Israeli government is
simulating um a mass return.
How can they absorb 800 people a day?
They're already beginning to do those
drills because they see what's going on
and what's unfolding.
>> Yes. Yes. Yes. Um anybody who is able to
make aliyah um if uh your whoever you
turn to for spiritual guidance uh tells
you that now is the time to do it you
definitely should at least ask the
question and if they say do it then then
do it. Um that's uh at the same time
anyone who is not in a position to leave
and many of us have
um elderly family members that are not
able to make the journey that that rely
on us. Um many of us have for all kinds
of reasons um might not be able to just
get up and and uh and leave. So take
comfort in knowing that
this is like any withdrawal process
to be able to have a smooth withdrawal
you need to have some people stay behind
to help facilitate the withdrawal on
behalf of the rest of us. So
from a spiritual point of view there's
something called nitus. These are shards
of holiness that are are trapped um and
um and that rely on the the prayers and
good deeds of Jewish people in order to
uh to give these shards of mis mst
mystical holiness um their uh their
proper uh tikun. So, anyone who's still
in in gulus,
it's most likely because they're still
here to help be part of the process that
rectifies whatever still needs to be
rectified and that as soon as their task
has been fulfilled, they will find a
very easy smooth path uh to to
>> that is very comforting. And if I could
just do one very quick final question.
Um, so as you said, the McGill right
now, we're living through the story. We
don't know. It's not over yet. We're
living through it. So who is Donald
Trump? Um, who who is he really in the
context of of Amnestro? And um, he's
been tasked with something very large.
How does the final showdown look between
and
>> I'm sorry, the final showdown uh,
>> between Edon and and like the way you
were talking about it before. How does
that finally unfold? How does it play
out? Are we looking at that imminently?
>> Okay, so Trump has uh an opportunity to
rectify as I uh as I mentioned a few
minutes ago um for on behalf of Edin on
behalf of Asov. Um Asov was supposed to
be one of our patriarchs. We have four
matriarchs. We were supposed to have
four patriarchs and Asov um was not up
to the task and we lost him which was a
very very uh devastating thing for the
Jewish nation to lose one of the most
powerful souls that ever came down that
was supposed to be one of our
forefathers. Um there were supposed to
the tribes were supposed to be split six
for Asov, six for Yakov. Um so half of
the Jewish nation has been lost. uh the
Jewish people can't expect a gulma, a
complete redemption without Asov being
made whole. And so Trump represents this
opportunity.
um whether Trump himself um acknowledges
it on this level is not relevant because
all of the things that he's been doing
and saying especially recently is as if
he his nishama definitely knows this and
his nishama is guiding him uh to say
what he needs to say and to do what he
needs to do. I'll give you one example.
Uh
not this summer, but the previous
summer, uh we're talking about maybe two
weeks after the famous assassination
attempt on Trump's life. I had the
opportunity to ask him the following
question. So, he'd been talking about
the fact that God had saved his life.
And I asked him, you know, you're you're
you're acknowledging that God saved your
life. Have you ever thought about why
God saved your life? And he thought
about it, and he wasn't sure what to
say. And then he said, you know, maybe
God saved my life so that I can save
America and maybe so that I can even
save the world. And he's repeated that
refrain many times throughout his
campaign. He said it uh in his victory
party um at election night. He said it
in his inauguration. Uh this has become
his his his focus, which is to to
improve the world, to to make the world
safer for everybody. and look at all the
peace initiatives that he's undertaken
as a result. So he realizes that Hashem
put him into this place at this point in
time for something very special
and to help prepare the world for the
era of Msiah. Um so that's that's the
role he plays. It's also interesting
that the destruction that I references
um are things that Trump had been
talking about for more than a decade
already. So if you look in he says
anybody who remembers Trump's um
the uh announcement he made
>> when he came down that golden escalator
there's one line that anybody who
remembers anything from the speech
remembers that one line and that is what
he said about Mexico. He says Mexico
what does Mexico send? Mexico sends in
criminals and rapists. Some of them I
assume are good people. So what does
Aadia say? He says when criminals enter
your country with rapists and what's the
third category of people
are sharecroers. Who's the third group
Trump said? He says and I assume some of
them are good people. Um just to give
you one example. Um, so there are a lot
of things that strike me as
there's no way that Trump himself knew
this, but it's clear that his soul is
aware and that his soul is guiding him
in the right direction.
>> Thank you very much. Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> Let's go to the next question.
>> Hi. Hi, sir.
>> Hi. Hi, Mr. Turks. Hi. I have a
question. You talk about Edom. Actually,
it's two questions. Um, you talk about
Edom, you mean specifically the
Christians, uh, and Europeans?
What about China, these other countries
that seem very powerful now? Should we
worry, um, I don't know if they're
lumped in this in the same, you know, in
the same category? But I, you know, as
Edom, but should we worry about those, I
mean, those kind of countries? I I don't
know what influence they might have in
the long run.
>> Yeah. So let me let me tell you
something very interesting. Um you look
at so I mentioned earlier that the Ben
Sask says that all of the the totality
of knowledge and innovation is going to
come down exclusively to Adam. When you
look at China, China doesn't innovate.
China only copies. They copy and they
steal.
>> Oh boy. You look at you look at the um
the Muslim countries, they don't
innovate. They're they're only able to
to purchase knowledge and weaponry from
the west, but they're not able to create
their own. You look at the African
continent, they're not innovating. The
only ones who have innovated going back
the last 150 years is Edom, the West,
Europe, the United States, uh Canada,
Australia, just the Western Coalition.
So, China is definitely not part of this
co of this coalition of Adam.
Furthermore, China never had any
ambitions over the land of Israel. They
never tried to conquer it. They never
staked any claim on it. So, China is its
own entity here. Uh similar to North
Korea, similar to India. Um
>> what about um I should say what about
Iran? That's my second question. I mean,
he's here. I mean the the Iranians are
not Arabs but they yes yes there's that
they're they have their own brand of
Islam actually they're kind of weird but
are they more like jaffit I don't see
you know I hear these different tribe or
people in the Bible that represented
certain ethnic groups but are they would
they be lumped in the same category as
China then I mean in the because it
seems like they're a big danger but I
don't
>> yeah but they're clearly yeah they're
they're clearly part of the coalition of
Yeshal. Yeshal means again we're talking
about coalition wise
>> they are part of Islam. They are part of
the Islamic confederacy so to speak.
>> Um it it it doesn't it it doesn't go
with um genetics or ethnicity as much as
it goes with um cultural alignment.
>> And um and so to go back to what
Schiffer was asking, how is this all
going to go down? Um it's got to go down
that Yeshal is going to um they're going
to identify a particular day in which
Edom is going to be vulnerable and they
are going to message all of their allies
and say today is the day. Let's do it
right now. and they are going to unleash
chaos across all major um western cities
that they have access to based on the
way I describes it. Um
you look at the protesters
and you look at at how much they've been
testing the the grounds for such a
scenario.
We're very close. We're very close to
them. Uh and so the way I understand it
based on Avadia is they're going to make
a decision to send their troops um over
to a distant border uh which I uh
geoloccate as being the border between
Russia and Ukraine. So they're going to
send their troops over to the border of
Russia, leaving their own cities
unguarded.
Um, but if they don't do that, then
Russia eventually breaks through and
threatens to to to to take over the
entire Western Europe. So essentially,
they're going to be they're going to
have two really really bad options. Do
you send your troops to to um uh as a
warning that Putin should not uh should
not uh break out beyond Ukraine or do
you uh and then leave your own cities
unguarded? Or do you keep them at home
and say whatever, we'll take our chances
with Putin, but we can't we can't uh we
can't uh you know, our our police force
isn't adequate enough to uh defend us.
Should the mobs assume they would use
assume they would join with NATO. I mean
that that would be the whole NATO thing.
They're not going to send all the
American troops there.
>> No, no, not American troops. You're
talking about um you know, France and
the UK, you know, they're talking about
sending a coalition of soldiers over to
the the
>> street their streets themselves are out
of control.
>> Yeah. I mean, you have you have a half a
million protesters. Okay. Within this
these half a million protesters, you
need just a few thousand with AK-47s.
just a few thousand of them. They can
wipe out entire cities if if if the arm
is out of town. They could they could
take everything down.
>> Talking about a civil war, internal war.
>> Yeah, but it's not a civil war you're
talking about. I mean, would you
describe October 7th as a civil war?
>> People within?
>> Yeah, it's people from within, but
they're people that are are not
indigenous, as they say, to those parts
of the world. Here's
here's a question somebody sent in.
Um, I'm going to write it like this. I
don't want to sound dramatic, but the
atmosphere in the world feels different.
Part of me wonders, is this what 1938
might have felt like, or am I just
anxious?
>> 1938 did not feel like 1938 because most
people did not know what was going on in
1938. Um,
I mean, what was what you saw? You read
a newspaper a few times a week. Like,
what were you aware of in in the 1930s?
Chris is when the world realized just
how just how bad things were in Germany.
But until then, it was life as usual for
most people. Just life went on.
So uh and then I mean the Holocaust
itself, how many how many people that
were not victims of the Holocaust knew
about the Holocaust while it was
happening. I mean if you were in Russia,
you had no idea what was going on in in
the European uh countries. Jews in
Hungary had no idea. 1944 they had no
idea what was happening. So um 1938 did
not feel like 1938. we um
we're the anxiety is a lot more palpable
because we are so uh connected to what's
going on uh in the world. But here's
something interesting
because
as much as we're living in scary times
we're
half the time what are we doing? We're
looking at memes about the news and
laughing.
You know, anytime something happens in
the news, there's someone has a funny
video about uh about the Ayatollah this
about the beepers that there's always
something to laugh about. And so
my read of that is we we
should return with part of the is that
we shouldn't be um we shouldn't be uh
sitting in bunkers shivering. We should
be able to go through life and see the
absurdity
and see the humor uh in the scariest of
situations. Imagine uh imagine you lived
in the times of the prophets and you saw
a vision of 400 stars, 400 planets
filled with chaos and destruction
flying through the stratosphere
um at insane speeds towards the land of
Israel. And you'd be like this this
would be the most frightening thing
you've ever seen if you lived in any
other generation. But to us, WE'RE LIKE,
"AH, LOOK AT IRAN. What was that? 400
this time. All right, try your luck."
Like, we're just laughing about it.
We're laughing about it because we know
Hashem is going to protect us. So, as
much as people are dealing with anxiety,
keep in mind that we're not losing our
minds. We're still able to find the
humor. we're still able to to take
comfort in in knowing that it is going
to work out in the end. And we do have
Sparum that tell us what we can expect.
So I would say on the one hand, 1938
didn't have as much anxiety because they
didn't know what was happening in the
world. However, the little they did know
was so much more frightening than what
we're going through now because we have
each other. We can have an open
conversation. people all around the
world from all backgrounds can have
these kinds of very real and and uh
sometimes dark but necessary
conversations.
And this is something that no other
generation had. And this is a this is
part of the the mercy of Hashem that it
is being made easier for us
um to to to survive and to get through
it.
>> Okay, let's go to the next next question
over here. Great question. sent
sometimes I ask myself if the liberal
young among today's youth is the the
lean something new and every generation
goes through a phase like but the
question they're asking is like it seems
like the college like if the older
Democrats are still very like more
normal sort of but you see the younger
generation is very like socialist and
psycho and very pro anti-Israel pro like
all this insanity is that something that
we this is like it's like shocking for
us to see it because like are you cuckoo
like you walk around in college with
like kafias like you have no half these
people are gay or whatever they would be
in Gaza they would be killed you know I
mean they're the one like they're so out
of their minds is this something normal
in every generation or this is something
weird in our generation
>> well I can't speak on behalf of any
generation other than ours right
>> in history
>> um your opinion on that
>> yeah the the the youth of every
generation weren't some very bizarre uh
uh ideologies um nothing like what we've
been experiencing. I mean, in the age of
social media, it's um this is this
definitely feels like uncharted
territory.
>> I mean, we're we're not we're not just
looking at the left. We're looking at
the uh the horseshoe effect, the
convergence of extreme left and extreme
right, saying, "Hey, we don't agree
about anything else, but the one thing
we can agree on is the Jews, right?" So,
let's just put aside our differences and
let's hate the Jews together.
So, you know, it's absurd, but it's uh
it's happening.
So, here here's a different question
somebody sent in. Just a second.
When things get bad economically,
Jews often get blamed. I find myself
thinking, is that is that happening
again or am I overreacting?
No, that seems to be happening again.
Absolutely.
>> And
>> I mean, look, there there's even if the
economy was doing great, they would
people would still would still hate us.
Um,
but
>> before Hitler, isn't that was that
wasn't that his power? Like things
started economically doing bad and then
he started blaming a lot of that on the
Jews. Wasn't that a little bit of the
the fire? Uh but yeah, but uh I mean
look, we're not experiencing what they
were going through. I mean, there's no
like Great Depression uh wheelbarrows
full of cash kind of dynamic right now.
Um so, so to say that this is I mean,
I'm sure the economy plays a role, but
um uh this is definitely
this is bigger than just the economy.
Um, in a sense it it seems as if Hashem
is um putting every single person on
this planet on the record. Like what do
you think of Jews? Yay or nay? And we're
getting closer and closer to every
person taking a side.
Right. So,
this is um
Yeah, it's interesting. It's it's the
one thing that everyone has an opinion
on right now. economy
notwithstanding.
>> All right, who's up next?
One second.
>> One second.
Okay, let's go to the next question.
Anybody wants ask a question? Text.
Okay, let's go to the next question over
here.
Interesting question. I mean, we spoke
about a little bit. Let's get a little
more clarity. Somebody says, "There's so
much happening in the news now. I don't
know what's real anymore because a lot
of news seems fake and a lot of news
seems very, you know, construed."
Sometimes I ask myself, are we actually
really in danger or it's more fear than
it's actually reality? Like what's your
opinion on that?
>> Um,
it doesn't matter if it's real or not.
Um, if you know what you're meant to do,
and that is
use it to uh to become a better person.
Um,
channel that anxiety into something
positive and productive.
um whether it's real or not is not
relevant. The only thing that's real is
what's expected of us as Jews.
Okay.
Second.
>> Okay. Maybe till we wait for a question.
>> Yeah. So, sorry. He was right on mute.
Hi, how are you?
>> Yes. I wanted to ask from what I see now
um like usual and for most people even
Trump and his family Jared and whoever
they all have personal interests the
fact that they're dealing with Qatar and
the these the our worst enemies uh Syria
Qatar Egypt those are the people that
he's going to to work out a peace plan
and it keeps going back to the two state
with having Hamas next door to us
the there's so much personal interest in
it. Where does that leave us? Is this is
he really he mean he might mean well but
like and like most people it just goes
to his personal his personal thing and
what's his priority? He wants to get a
name. He m wants to, you know, he he
wants the money to come in because he
promised it would. He has his his
motives and his things which he's
entitled to and a lot of good has come.
Nobody can take it away from him. But
where does that leave us?
Uh very uh look Judy, you're you're
right that um this is a very fickle
world we live in and things can turn
against us very quickly especially given
some of the the proposed alliances that
you mentioned. Uh ultimately we need to
use this as an opportunity to uh
strengthen ourselves and to become
better people so that that uh reality
does not become a thing. Right. I mean,
if if
>> that's always that's our job, but I mean
how you were discussing how safe we are.
So I'm asking does it are we putting on
blinders because we do have aside from
Avaja, we do have World War II and we
see what happened to all the people who
refuse to, you know, deal with the
reality. It'll never happen here. It'll
never happen here. You mentioned
Hungary. My family's from there. My
mother went when she heard that they
would be transporting to have clothes
made, travel clothes designed for it.
That's how much you're right that they
didn't know.
>> Yeah. Wow.
>> Yeah. She went to have her travel
clothes made because she heard that she
may go be going on a train
>> or whatever. So, you're 100% right. Are
we being blinders that it can't happen
here when it is happening here when they
are blocking shools and it really is
happening here when they are busting
windows when they are doing things here
>> and you mentioned that they don't that
that they don't attack the really from
they attack that's they attack all the
really from too
>> oh I didn't say they don't attack the
from I said if you're from you have
nothing to worry about from being
attacked because if if you're supposed
to be attacked, you're you're going to
be you're going to be hit anywhere. A
tree could land on you. I mean, if if um
Hashem decided that it's your time to
go, you're know you'll go. Um but uh
they they do tend to uh take a step back
when they see a Jew carrying themselves
with confidence. Um they usually don't
they usually um they're more likely to
mess with a Jew who's trying to hide
their Star of David necklace than they
are with a Jew that very uh proudly
procla proclaims their Judaism and and
has not and and walks as if they have
nothing to fear. Um
but uh look um I'll tell Iadia says that
the only safe place in the world is
going to be that's going to be the only
safe place in the world. So,
>> so we should go
>> and not back
>> if you're a if you're able to. Sure. Um,
he doesn't say that
everybody in Shalim is going to be is uh
he doesn't say that u that there won't
be casualties in Shalim. He just says
that in the US there will be refuge.
>> And the understanding is that the rest
of the world is going to be very
frightening. But
>> but it also means now that we know this,
now that we know that it's going to be
very scary,
I mean, our enemies have never been as
um as uh plentiful as they are, right?
We've never had more people at any one
time on planet Earth that hates us. And
the people that hate us hate us for more
reasons than any other um uh generation
of anti-semites because they hate us for
every single reason that every other
generation hated us combined because
they've compiled all of these uh liels
from across all the centuries and they
cite all of these as the reason why they
hate us. And they're also um in better
communication than they've ever been in
in any other point in history. So, you
would assume that we're hated by so many
across the entire world for so many
reasons and they're able to uh to unify.
You would imagine that they'd be wiping
us out right now. Um and yet it is very
rare for a Jewish person to be to be
murdered for being Jewish. It it
happens. It's tragic. It doesn't happen
on the the level that it happened in any
other uh any other point in time when
when Jews were literally hunted down on
the streets and and murdered for being
Jewish. And we had that all across the
world so many times over. We're not
experiencing it now on this level, even
though the hatred is is far and away
astronomically greater than it had ever
been by a long shot. So
you have to also leave some room for
perhaps Hashem is giving us an
opportunity to do chuva now and that we
don't have to conclude that the end
result is going to be another
um 1939 1940 type of dynamic that we're
going to do the right thing and Hasheb
is going to deliver us from our enemies.
Yeah.
>> I mean, look, Judy, you have you have
every justification of being concerned.
I mean, we've we we study our history.
We teach our children our history. We
know we know what we've been through.
We're not naive.
>> We're not naive.
At the same time, we also realize the
fact that all of us, every single person
on this broadcast, the fact that every
single one of us is alive right now, in
spite of all the hatred that we've been
facing is miraculous,
>> right? Okay.
>> So, let's let's lead into the miracles
and uh let's anticipate more and greater
miracle. You can't rely on miracles
exclusively. You have to do what you can
to protect yourself, your family, your
community. At the same time,
look, look for the miracles. They're
happening all around us every day.
>> Yeah. Thank you. somebody some
somebody's
somebody sent in that they struggle with
um you know walking around looking
Jewish like you spoke about it but you
know whether it's should they show it if
they don't have to or maybe they should
put in um the
um just to you know be proud that I'm a
Jew.
Um, so look,
let's say you're walking down the
street. Yeah.
And
someone uh approaches you and uh starts
asking you about what they call the
genocide in Gaza.
What's your like what is what is the
just what is the best uh thing you can
do? What what are you going to do?
You're not going to outrun them.
So what? You're going to taunt them?
You're going to start arguing with them?
Does that is that is that really the
best thing you can do in that kind of
setting?
Or just uh empathize? Cuz look, if this
person knows people in Gaza who have
been killed that they're sad about it
and if they've seen video footage that
might not be real, but that they they
believe is real, then they're hurting.
So why do you have to provoke them?
Just feel their pain. Acknowledge their
pain. Don't say anything you don't
believe.
But what I would do is I would say,
"Yeah, it's uh it's very it's very sad
what's going on right now. This is this
is this is so unfortunate.
I I I pray for all the innocent victims
on all sides." You know, you could be
you could be honest and sincere about
it. Um we don't want innocent people to
die.
We never want innocent people to die. If
you look at the extent to which the uh
the Israeli army puts itself in danger
in order to uh to try to save the lives
of of Gazan civilians. You know, of
course, we don't want innocent people to
die. So, find common ground. You don't
have to get into a shouting match as if
it's a social media site and you're
you're anonymous.
You do that. Just be a mench. the
person's hurting, just respond as if you
would to anyone else who's going through
a hard time
and then you you don't keep uh you try
to keep the conversation short and
polite and uh
you know, move on with your day.
>> You're saying because you're not going
to get anywhere with it with the
conversation.
>> I mean, what's the point? They they
>> want to clarify.
>> Maybe you want to clarify. It it's it's
you're not only you're not going to get
anywhere arguing, but
>> to their mind, you are you are they will
assume that you're doing what the the
Holocaust deniers have been doing to us
for the past few decades. This is the
image that they have of you when you're
when you're saying there is no genocide,
whatever. As soon as you start arguing
with them, you're just giving them that
impression of you. And so if they're
feeling provoked, they might strike you.
Don't give them that opportunity. Don't
say don't say anything stupid that's
that's going to get you hurt. Now, if um
a a group of huslims is chasing after
you in the street and they want to beat
you up because you're Jewish and you
didn't say anything or do anything to
provoke it, then you know this is what
Hashem decided. There's nothing you can
do to get away from it. What are you
going to do?
Okay, let's go to the next question.
You're on
>> me. Oh, okay. Um, I wanted to ask you,
why do you think there are so many Jews
that side with Hamas, like I have these
ridiculous conversations with people who
think that the poor people in Gaza, the
poor, you know, the starvation, the
whatever it, they believe all the lies.
And I know some of it is generational. I
But it's really not. I mean, I have
people my age who are like yelling at me
that how dare we do this and I'm like
thinking I'm in a alternative universe.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. That um Yeah, that that definitely
sums it up. And we are both living in
alternative universes. In the universe
that they're living in, they have
somehow
allowed themselves to believe that we
are as evil as that which our
grandparents uh survived.
They they they are so confused
as to how can the Jewish people behave
in ways that they think reminds them of
certain villains from 80 years ago. Yes,
>> it is very bizarre.
>> It is very bizarre. It It is extremely
bizarre. I'm tired of doing this apology
tour all the time, you know, like I just
I I'm asking them like, "Where do you
get your information? Why do you think
that that's true? Why do you think your
own Jews are lying? Why do you think
Israel's lying?" And they have no
answer. They don't have one.
>> Um,
>> but they keep pushing it on me anyway.
>> You have to accept their existence as a
reality that we're part of. You don't
it's not it's not your place to to try
to save them or change their viewpoint
or correct them.
Um let me ask you this. How many people
have you successfully been able to um to
like how many such people did you manage
to convince?
>> None.
>> Exactly. So, so the, so the Baskar
references these people and he says that
you're going to see
Jewish people that are going to be
siding with their enemy.
>> Yes.
>> And the reason and the reason that's
that is going to be the case is he
identifies them
>> as the embodiment of the Arav therav the
um coach. How would you describe the or
>> do we assume everyone knows?
Whoever doesn't know, send them email.
>> Okay. The um so he says that the Arav
are going to join her enemies and if
they're in the camp of our enemies at
the time when when Hashem is ready to
wipe out our enemies, then they're going
to get caught up in it also. So um they
need they need to be very careful.
Um, you know, we we I I I referenced
earlier that the reason our enemies are
able to convince so many people to
believe lies about us is because we
spread falsehoods against other Jews in
the form of lashhara.
>> Mhm.
>> And so when we do that, we give them our
enemies this same power. So you want to
know why are Jews believing that other
Jews are capable of behaving this way?
Why do Jews believe anything we're told
negative about other Jews? Period. I
mean, I think this is like the important
lesson over here that we need to take
away. Look at how far someone can be led
astray by believing lashenhar against
Jews to the point that they are
convinced that the Jewish nation,
Hashem's people, are worse than the
Nazis.
That's how destructive Lashinhara is.
And so we should resolve to learn the
halas of lashhara
and to to become more aware of what is
lashhara and strategies on how to avoid
it.
And this another part of the question
that I wanted to ask you had to do with
the Republican party and people like um
Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson and even
Senator Vance. They employ like
rhetoric. Vice President Vence.
>> Yeah, I'm sorry. I said Senator,
[laughter]
Vice President.
>> He's he's almost he's almost a vice
president as long as he was senator.
>> I live in Ohio. So,
>> so I'm sorry. Employee rhetoric. Um and
like you know the classical anti-semitic
themes about Jewish power and influence
like so like what do we do? What do you
think the Republican party is beginning
to become?
>> It's kind of scary. And not that it's
not on the Democratic side because I it
is
>> but and how seriously should we view
this trend?
>> Uh view the trend as a gentle reminder
that we cannot rely on a political party
and that the only savior we have is
Hashem. That's the the takeaway. any
group of people that we assume are are
will be there for us, we're finding out
we can't rely on them anymore.
>> Correct.
>> Maybe they will be there for us, but we
can't count on it. So, we got to we got
to turn to the source that we've always
turned to. That's the that's the
reminder and that's the message here.
>> Okay. Thank you.
>> Sure. Many people, many people came
tonight and they were um surprised to
hear you start opening up with the Na'vi
and being into um this forum. Um I'm
wondering if you can tell us a little
bit how you got into from we know you as
the correspondents in the White House
into the Na'vi and understanding putting
it all together. Maybe you can tell us
and also about Msiah. what could you
tell us in today's days?
>> Okay,
so I started my uh journey on Na'vi
about uh literally exactly two years ago
from this mat shabas uh will be will be
exactly two years. It was the mat shabas
of the ha of
and someone pointed out to me that
there's a reference to the kis in the
warriors of Yemen.
And now in its context the word
which is the same letter as
translates into panic and your warriors
will panic around Yemen. The night of
that matashabis
was
the and uh the world memory hold it very
quickly. No one even remembers this, but
the largest naval battle uh between
allied uh an allied coalition against an
adversary, the largest naval battle in
history since World War II took place
that night. The Matzachabis of Paraslak
last year uh two years ago, sorry. Uh
between a western coalition of about 30
navies and the Houthis. The battle
lasted an hour and a half and
the western coalition under the
leadership of Joe Biden eventually
withdrew after an hour and a half
against the Houthis. 30 navies from the
United States and mostly eur from Europe
ended up fleeing
from the Houthis an hour and a half
uh after hour and a half of fighting
and the Pik says you will panic
and flee from Tman which translates into
either Yemen or south but either way
they fled Yemen in a southward direction
and um I saw that then I was like wow
that's weird because this is literally
happening tonight and then I saw the
next p which says which talks about
kamas and then the pusk before that
which talks about the leader of Adam
losing his mind uh or rather the leaders
of Edom losing their wisdom. So, and
it it I was like, "Wow, this is just
this is surreal. This is it's as if I'm
reading a description of what's
happening right now." So, I started
studying it and I went through the
entire cafer and I've been uh I I've I'm
still on this journey two years later
and I'm still finding things and there
they're always new things that are still
unfolding.
Yeah.
impressed. If there's one more question
somebody wanted to ask and then we're
going to go to the closing part, just
give me one sec.
>> Hi.
>> Hi. Okay, two quick things. Um, on a on
the whimsical side, AI, what could you
just give your best guess of where this
where this takes us as Jews? Like what
is its purpose really?
Well, the era of Messiah is going to be
one of perfection. The crops are all are
going to grow perfectly.
The um I mean imagine AI um agriculture
where every crop gets the precise amount
of water, precise amount of sunlight,
precise amount amount of um of uh
fertilizer and they all grow perfect and
beautiful and you're able to replicate
this all over the world. you're able to
um to get free energy, tap into free
energy sources. Um people are not going
to need to work. We're going to be able
to study Torah and and and and pray and
praise Hashem all day, every day. Uh
this is what a perfect world looks like.
And AI is preparing us for this
eventuality. Um a a world of of
perfection, of precision. What are the
the what are the biggest causes of war?
Um scarce resources is one of them. You
know, most conflicts probably or I I'd
say many conflicts are fought over
um humanitarian aid. See, we know about
UNRA, but we don't know about all the
other conflicts that have been a
precursor for UNRA. Let's say um let's
say you have you get hold of a couple of
guns and you're in this uh remote
village somewhere. You and your buddies
take uh take these guns and they take
control of that village by force.
Then you reach out to uh the UN and say,
"Hey, there's a civil war going on. Send
humanitarian aid. People are starving."
Footage comes out. UN sends aid. The aid
is hijacked and then sold on the sold on
the on the black market. People are
still starving. UN sends more aid. More
aid is hijacked. Sold on the black
market.
The next town over sees, hey, these guys
have a good deal going. They grab some
guns. They try to grab some of the aid
trucks. You see the pattern? You see
what happens? Before long, you have
incentivized war.
So, it's not a war over scarce resources
as much as it's a war over stealing uh
humanitarian aid. So, that's one reason
why wars are fought. Another reason why
wars are fought is um there are about
about 130 countries that share um water
reservoirs on their border. And as soon
as you have uh a drought season, things
become very testy along those uh those
uh regions.
So in a world of perfection,
nobody needs to loot humanitarian aid
because everybody has an abundance.
Nobody needs to uh to to fight over uh
water uh borders because there is
adequate water for everybody.
You see what I'm saying?
>> I do. I think that's that's also a
little bit of a simplified version, but
let me just cut to the last part.
>> Yes. Of of of course it's a simplified
version.
>> Yeah. Yes. I I don't think it
>> I don't know what I don't know what the
I don't know what the complex version
looks like yet. It hasn't happened.
>> Yeah.
>> We only can we can only wrap our mind
around the simplified. It's definitely
not going to be as simplistic as I laid
it out. That's for sure.
>> Yeah. No, I I meant it doesn't all just
deduce to an economic conundrum. I think
there's a lot more around it um than
just economics.
It's not just a question of abundance or
scarcity of resources. But if I could
just end with the final this question um
as a so as a firm presence in the White
House, do you work do you feel that you
have to work extra hard to make a
kadeshm? And if so, how?
>> Uh we all do all the time. Um it's uh
just be a mench. be a mench. Doesn't
matter if the cameras are are rolling
because there will always be some
cameras rolling somewhere. See, for me,
it's easier because I know the cameras
are always rolling. But to someone who
doesn't work in the White House,
you don't you don't know when the
cameras are on. Act like a mench. Don't
be the reason why more Jews more uh more
haters feel like they have a
justification in hating Jews. Don't
Don't give them that ammunition.
Practice. Always practice. Always be in
your best behavior because you never
know when that moment's going to come.
And also, Hashem is watching. Make him
proud. Make Hashem happy. Why not? He's
giving you everything. It's the least we
can do for him.
Okay, one last question. I got to jump
on this one cuz I was going to ask you
myself. Give me one second. A lot of
people text me this question. I just
didn't have time to get to it. Hi,
unmute.
mute.
Hi,
>> can you hear us?
>> Yeah, I had a question. Yeah, I want to
know uh the fact that Mandi was elected
and we have this uh the Democratic
Socialist Party which we know that they
have four or five elements of their
party is um they espouse a lot of
anti-Israel
and also in Seattle we know there was an
anti-Israel person elected and just in
general we see like uh a lot of
Democrats are leaning left. How should a
Jew look at voting for a Democrat in the
future? Or is the same problem really in
the Republican party?
And should we be scared about voting for
them because their policies seem like
they could be have a very bad effect on
the Jewish people's future.
Look, uh I'm not going to I'm not going
to te tell you who to vote for or if you
should vote altogether or you should
abstain from voting. But um what Mandani
represents is not as much about Mandani
himself as it is about the the trend.
And the trend is that Yeshal is becoming
more and more audacious and the momentum
is clearly on their side and um it is
very important to acknowledge it.
Um, there will be a final showdown
between Edom and Ishmal.
And
on paper, it would appear as if Adam has
everything stacked up in its favor, but
we know from Ivadia that Adam is going
to uh is going to fall. So
um
but also you said that all this uh
negativity, this anti-semitism and all
that should wake up the Jewish people
that we should correct ourselves. But if
you look at the polls who voted from
Amdani, there was a big percentage of
Jews that voted from that didn't wake up
like you said. So what are the
consequences of that? Are they going to
wake up or
>> Yeah. No. Um,
that's that's not my my intent. Again,
Mandani himself
isn't um he he isn't the problem we need
to be focusing on. Um, people who voted
for Mdani, if they were sitting with us
right now, I'm sure can make an
excellent case in favor of why they
voted for him. uh you look at who was
running against him, you know, I mean,
it was not a it was not a very simple
election cycle for a lot of people.
So, what I'm saying is even in a best
case scenario where Mandani ends up
exceeding expectations and and ends up
going down a John Federmanesque
uh character arch, we still
need to be mindful of the momentum that
his win brings to the nation of Ishal.
Even if he himself does not end up uh
being part of the problem, the problem
goes a lot deeper than just himself and
one election in one city.
I mean look at London. London had a
Muslim mayor for um you know going back
what a decade
>> in England they have in many cities
Muslim mayors.
>> Now they have many. Yeah. Yeah. So you
see you see the momentum shift, right?
You see you see like where they got to.
The mayors themselves didn't didn't do
anything that uh people are pointing to
that were like particularly destructive.
It's just they represent the changing
mood in the country.
>> Right. I'm not just talking about
Mamani. I'm talking about the Jewish
vote for Meani
that a lot of Jews
like you're [clears throat] saying that
Jewish people should realize if there's
anti-semitism
that we should wake up and change. It
just seems like the opposite. Those
people didn't change. They voted for the
anti-semitism.
>> That's not what change looks like.
Change is something uh that's done
inwardly. Um it you know, if someone
doesn't feel comfortable voting for
Cuomo because they believe that Cuomo is
the reason why their a family member of
theirs died during COVID. I mean, what
are you going to do? You going to hold
it against them? I mean, again, people
had reasons for voting for Mdani. if uh
let's say you believe his uh
you know if if you believe uh his uh
political uh talking points I mean you
know there's
the fact that that people voted for him
does not reflect the the real issue that
we're we're facing which is we need to
become better people. Voting pattern is
not indicative of someone not being a
better person. being a better person is,
you know, following um uh following what
it means to be a good Jew based on how
it's laid out in the Torah and ala.
>> And thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> There's people mentioning about like
Republicans, Democrats. In both parties,
you go a little bit either way, right?
>> The Democratic party was always much
more pro-Israel, but when you start
getting more democratic socialists, you
start going that way. Republican you
become more even extreme Republican you
also become like they both the name
where they meet is in hatred like it's
not like you know the regular middle is
middle but then you have that thing but
what what what Rabbi Turks was really
referring to is the change in inside of
us us becoming more lovable doing our
caring for another Jew not speaking that
that is the change and you know he's
bringing up let's go to the closing part
and
>> um you know I want to I I I want to take
this opportunity One second. Turks.
Turks. One second. One second.
>> Let's go to the closing part and then
we're going to wrap it up. Okay.
>> So, I just want to first of all say to
Mr. Turks for coming on tonight and
giving his time and there was a lot of
questions. We try to get to all of them
and um we really appreciate it. And for
the people that have questions, you
could email
[email protected].
I don't know if Turks if you want to
give you have any email address you can
give out to anybody or whatever. If you
want to if anybody has any questions
whatever they can send it to coach man.
coach at email is also my email address
and then we'll forward it to you and
anybody if he has time he can answer it.
Um but let's just go to the closing
segment. Just give me one second over
here.
>> I mean they can uh send me a DM on uh
Twitter or any other platform where my
DMs are open.
>> Right, right, right. What's what's your
Twitter thing?
>> Uh Jake Turks at Jake Turks. Okay. So
again, thank you for coming on Trendik
and I think we spoke about a lot
tonight. Next week, Sunday, December
7th, we're going to have a surprise
guest. It's not confirmed yet. We have a
big um lineup coming ahead. So, please
stay tuned. We'll send out as as we have
the topics and the speakers. So, tonight
was definitely mind-blowing in my
opinion. Everything is recorded on.com.
If any questions, email
[email protected]
to hear tonight's share 252. Listen to
it on all the platforms on YouTube and
Spotify and Apple and all the other
ones. You can listen to on the phone as
well. 732305911.
Thank you to all the advertising sponsor
scoop fire from JCN. We'll go through
the closing. I'll speak first and then
you'll leave with you leave us with the
final closing thoughts after such a
powerful session tonight. Just want to
repeat uh some of the things that we
heard tonight and what what I felt.
Listen, the topic that we did tonight
people last night last week's share was
about anxiety. So I said ah perfect
right before tonight's share so we can
put in order. But at the end of the day
tonight's share and the topic is really
relevant to everybody. I mean, unless
you live in a box, everybody's having
these thoughts and everybody's having
these feelings. It's not like
particularly to [snorts] you, everybody
feels, you know, the antise-semitism
where the world is turning, the
comments, it feels like a very different
world. Like, you ask somebody 10, 20
years ago, like America, oh, like never
in a million years. Now you're like,
hey, what happened here? So, this is
definitely reality. And I think what
Rabbi Turks was trying to bring out
tonight at the end of the day, it's 21
in in in next in this week's half. So,
read it. Um, it's very interesting. And
if you type t type it in if you if you
[clears throat] translate it into
current events because now you see them
unfold and you take the words not of the
English translation but more of the
tigum that which was written hundreds of
years ago you'll see how it ties in at
the end of the day this is like a little
bit of our story line so we know a
little bit the concepts what's going to
happen and ultimately we could have
sometimes the best presidents the worst
presidents we vote and then things
change right we don't we don't control
everything right I mean it's funny we're
just talking about New York like Andrew
Cuomo was not the most loved mayor Like
most Jews did not like him, you know
what I mean? Then like all of a sudden
you're begging to have him back because
this other guy's coming like
God controls. I mean you see it with
Trump. One day he could be like this one
day like that. Like things change very
quickly and rapidly and things change.
But what we need have to focus on is not
the people in charge. It's Hashem is in
charge. And I think the strong point
that was made tonight is that really if
we work on ourselves and realize this
every yet personal like everybody
everybody says why me him we have to do
our job. We have to do our part each one
themselves. Each of themselves and I
mean a lot of people mention I mean
troll is destroyed many times right
throughout history. It's not like you
you could run. It's not like that that's
your magic answer. If you're not sure
you're going to be safe like if it's not
meant to be could be anywhere. It's not
like you know um we have to turn to
Hashem. There is no magic answer. We we
are much more open-minded today. There's
a lot more communication. you know
something happens in some third world
country in a second it's on YouTube or
some ch some channel and you know about
it like so there's a lot more
communication which is we have coach we
could talk about the topic openly
between thousands of people and people
who listen to it which is never had that
before so it's a mile but the other and
the reality knowing is knowledge is also
you know it's could be dangerous like
because you know things you see what's
going on so you live in that reality but
um I think we have to continue realizing
that nothing changed in the world
besides us we have to continue doing our
part and really try hard and I think
tonight shared the fact that we could
really go through that no I mean there's
a lot of in this and obviously
which he didn't really speak about that
too much but there's a whole section
over there which is still up to debate
but very another good point you said is
also that like after you see some events
you start able to understand some of the
vas what happens like you can't
sometimes understand it so clearly until
like things play out but anyway it's
amazing and thank you for coming on
tonight coach
Thank you. Thank you, Jake Turk. Thank
you for coming on. And uh like we heard,
I think it's a good time to
stop and tap in, connect, and see where
we are. You know, proud Jews
um trying to do our best serving Hashem.
And sometimes we need to sit down and
see, you know, we get too comfortable.
what what am I looking for happened to
see you know what's my connection to
Hashem when I start feeling this anxiety
I'm like I don't want to think about it
you know it was good till now but
there is uh you know Hashem is there is
watching Hashem's watching us and
there's something that Hashem wants from
us but it all it all boils down to you
know what's our connection to Hashem
what's our connection
you know do I feel scared of Hashem can
I talk to Hashem when I'm scared and
then I'm scared
is scared of everything then yeah it's
uh
time to reflect if something there's
obviously something wrong if you can't
turn to anyone you can't even turn to
Hashem that's a problem but um the right
thing would be to turn to Hashem and uh
Hashem is holding us watching us we have
to do what we have to do and uh like we
heard speak to your local rabbi discuss
it with him what's the right thing grow
become better and hashem we're waiting
for Msiah and it's happening and I'm
excited.
>> Jake Turks, the floor is yours.
>> Um, okay. So, I want to end off with a
quote from someone who typically
has not earned the privilege of being
quoted on such a wonderful program. But
it it underscores a lot of the the
conversation we've had about the purpose
of anti-semitism and the role that they
play. So a a very famous notorious
anti-semite tweeted as follows. He says,
"Jews do everything in their power to
help each other get rich. Anti-semites
do anything they can to attack and
slanders others who are getting paid. I
wonder why one side is winning.
And
from time to time, these anti-semites
will pull something very authentic and
real. And
it um reinforces
the the mission that they that they
play, the role that they play here,
which is to remind us of who we are, to
remind us of what makes us special and
to also serve as a as a straw man to
remind us of what Lashinhara does. But
every once in a while they're actually
uh truthful and they'll say, "Hey, why
is it that Jews are so much more united
than the rest of us?" And then we wonder
why they're all they always come out on
top.
Ultimately, this is the u this should be
the number one takeaway. Any generation
that did not rebuild the BA mikdash,
it's as if that their generation
destroyed it. Because had the bas
mikdash existed in any of those
generations,
the hatred would have been too uh
powerful and the bdash would have had to
be destroyed. The first generation that
is able to overcome that uh
that hangup,
the first generation that is able to
unconditionally love every Jew is the
generation that will merit the bas.
And this is a conversation that we
should keep on having amongst ourselves
and we should see how we can what we can
do to uh to help get us closer to that
point. Another thing is
on a practical level what can we do?
There's a wonderful safer called shahab
which
underscores the
mitzvah of relying on hashem of
this uh cafer has been translated into
English. There are many different uh
variations of it by now.
And it is it is it is so helpful when
we're going through um not just on a
macro even in a micro uh sense like in
our personal lives. There's so much
value that we can get from tapping into
shiin
and to resolve to try to try to learn it
consistently as a way of countering the
stress and anxiety that is definitely
bound to come up. I feel stress and
anxiety too by the way and I'm talking a
big game over here like oh look at me
I'm not scared. No, it is very scary. I
of course it's scary. Um but it's going
to be scary anyway. So accept it and
there are some proven strategies like
studying
as a way of helping deal with these
anxieties that are bound to come up.
