would like to welcome everyone to tonight's sh from we like to give a big to for sponsoring tonight's shar we like to shak to Mr. and Mrs. for sponsoring the live streaming of the shums throughout the summer. Captain sponsoring a call or email isthet.com. Tonight we have the Swiss have with us once again and Chicago speak on miracles and challenges at the same time. How do we deal with both? It's my coh for tonight's Russia. >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Car say it's always a uh it's always a cover to be in this incredible muck tyro this incredible maid of Tyra. Um tonight I'd like to talk about a shila. I must give credit. It's always because of my parents Shiva Zatal, my wife Schul and Shur. But I have to give a special credit. I'm going to mention his name. Uh one of the people in Scholish Piro who chased me down about this Shila. He asked me to shil initially and I'd uh I told him I have no miser on it. I have nothing to say. He he wasn't masc when a person's in a mat of an a and he has a nest. In the middle of the there's a nest. So what's do you celebrate the nest or don't you celebrate the nest? So um this Shiloh became that uh two and a half three weeks ago right uh they bombed the nuclear reactor so uh it's an KB let something like that happen we'll talk about it soon and they sent ballistic missiles before that nest took place and the ballistic missiles landed and they missed places but there were there were 20 20 who were killed. There were hundreds of people who were wounded. There was more than a a thousand families who lost their places to live. 5.6 million pounds of glass was ordered and shipped to it to replace all the windows. 5.6 six million pounds of glass. So, what are you supposed to do? What are you supposed to do? So, again, I told the person, I have no m I I I I I I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. So, um we have this in the sh we have this once a week. We're allowed to send the Shila to. So, we sent him the Shila. So he said to us he already got the shil. He got the shil in tin pay. Everybody remembers but he got the shil. Somebody wanted to know that he was in meron unlike and he was saved miraculously he got out. Miraculously he got out and we know that Islan 45. So you make a sim. You don't make what do you do? What do you do? And he said he was asked this past year. A family miraculously was saved and uh but most of their neighbors were killed in Israel on October 7th on so we make a sim. We don't make a sa what are you supposed to do? So um this exuberine has incredible bik incredible. So he said like this he brought down the tyus yontiff wrote a safer. We all know who the tyiff is but tant wrote a caf mcgillis a tyus yontiff. Why did he write the safer for? because he says what happened to him. He was in a because somebody massed on him to the government that in his he speaks the religion that was going on in his community. So he writes like this and you can check it out with I try to but uh it would be interesting to find out what they do. They have to fast on until after my to fast the whole day cuz in that day he was put into jail. Have to fast that day and that day was put into jail. Then he says like this. Now this is the talking. So now what should I do? I got out of jail. Should I make a He says like this. I came out with nothing except for my cover. I lost everything I had. was a kinas. So what should I do? So I told the person who asked me, you know what says I don't know what to do. The day I went into jail. I know what to do. I want everybody to fast. All I should fast at the day I got out of jail. I don't know what to do. Pontiff didn't know what to do. It's unbelievable. He didn't want to pass him. They told the person asked me to sh you want me to ask him say doesn't know what to do. What do you want me to say? Then the jant says he found the caferis. So I looked it up lived he was born 62 years before the place but he found the who talks about it. See asks now hold on for a minute because you're going to think that this sh is a sh we all know about but it's not it's he wants to know there was a nigler and there's no there was only an it's a little bit different than the way we're used to the used to the pur There's a purse. There's no suda on the terracees on the goof and not on the goof. He wants to know but there's a nest nigla and a nest. On the nest we make we don't answer. This is a gal answer. Think about this hash is calling. No one was killed. Not one yid was killed. There was not one who was killed in the whole story of nobody was killed. Wasashim. They wanted to destroy everybody but nobody was killed. But there were killed. Therefore, it's can't be because were killed because no were killed because of this. So, I can't make a So the Tes brings a from the for his suffic that's enough of a 62 years older than him. That's enough of a then he says this I looked up last. It's an unbelievable excuse me. He wants to know about being because of what happened. He writes out the whole mice in detail. It's unbelievable. So like this there was a fire there was a fire and 31 people were killed in the fire. Then he says so many my wife's upper lip was cut and she lost all her bottom teeth. Every single person bled. He considered I lost a fortune of money. Money for blood. She wants to know then says I made a for myself and on my descendants the 15th day of in his thought the meaning was that fasted on whoever can fast to my descend They should fast and afterward they should gather. They should light. I just saw in the in the second no first the first volume of the biography of he went to and he said why why is it so dark in here? And they told him like that's that's the style. The style is you know uh he dim the lights a little. He said live if we add candles. We don't dim the lights even though it might be a pardon the language a cool mini you know make it a little bit more I don't know what it is make it stick for some reason it's it's more gishmach he said it's not he said light candles okay you ready for this I wrote it all downra Are you one of those people who stay after and say slowly also slowly then say something to him. What do you think? Listen to this. Say it slowly. slowly. You have any time to eat time you finish saying slowly. He didn't say he did not say nishmas. I'm going to talk about that soon. And then to make a suda, he says make a long and give to is between the and the and the so first of all that's why you have to ask they asked me to sh say I know I don't know I never heard of sh I don't know I don't even know what to do you want to know about benching fine I can tell you what I can tell you about you want to know if you a nest in the middle of it what are you supposed to do it's it's here's the now he wants to say like He wants to say there's no want to say there's no is talking about a has to make because of does not mitigate does not stop you from to make you have to okay you have to feel But you have to make a sim. We're going to talk about that soon also. But he wants a ty is talking about wants to say he's talking about the talking about is talking about when we're not then you don't make okay I hope to go there and I'd like to be able to supposed to go into maybe I don't understand to me it's I don't I don't understand what he's saying the yontiff is taking a from the was talking about pur but the yont was shelling to himself he's a and he's saying he's saying as a we shouldn't make he's not saying is it we shouldn't make he's bring from the by going and he's saying I don't know what he means I don't know what he means to me it seems like it is a Then he quotes a preesh a prehes which is really it's this would not be a popular kasha today at all maybe if for the maybe for the lit who are here maybe it's a it's a good kasha but for this is not a good kasha wants to know what is this called what are you making ah for he says is 24,000 died. So why you making sim? What's a sim for? So that this is that Rami Po says because also supposed to die because didn't die but then it says it's that according to one of the midb people stopped dying that we don't make a for that was no they stopped dying was okay about like okay now so what's lisa what's lisa so first of all he says it it's really a double portion the people who were saved from meron there's no shila if they want to make a simka which he holds they should they cannot make a sim near any family who is in ais for meron that's It's no Shila. That's no no Shila. I didn't even I didn't even know it's a Hebrew expression. Maybe it's just an English expression he translated. He said it's pouring melik. You're pouring salt on the wounds. Pouring salt on the wound. You can't do that. You can't do that. But I just want to say we have a lot of these Shilas. What do you do on tishov when there's a bris? We make a bris. We don't make a brisk. Of course we make a bris. We say maz and we say maz but we don't eat. That's what do you do with five children who were sitting Shiva Rahman because their father died. They're sitting Shiva with their mother. One of the five children has a child who's getting married during Shiva. So the aunts and uncles can't go according to most place. The grandmother can't go either. But Mah, the parents can go. Sh. Can they go? Could they dance for a minute? Yeah. But when they go to they don't shave, they don't shower. They don't put on new clothing and when they come back they're back in ais again. But the brothers and sisters understand that he our sibling is going to because his child is getting married. We understand we we understand we live with this duality all the time. So I like to say something here. Everybody say that I think it's um I saw a sign you know everything uh I'm very low tech but most people in my show are high-tech. So, you know, people bring me pictures all the time and this and that and you know, I'm not telling you. Anyways, show me a picture. There's a picture in the mirror. There's a a pekk a sign up. A sign up signed by signed by an of the yeshiva. Then on Thursday nights is a mushmoose. This is right after the week after the reactor was blown up. On Thursday night, there's a mushmoose. And they're asking the holy yeshiva to come together before the shoo and say nishmas that's did in the mir they did in the mir. So I I said like this after going through the I just want to tell you what we did. I said right after this whole mess with the reactor was Thursday Friday. So you know I don't know what happens here in this but in most you sing hall when hall is on chabas maybe on Sunday also you sing a little but it's during the week most are not singing how yeshivas maybe sing but they're not sing most so we made up with all the we have a number of for we made up everybody will sing every minion sang then on shabis also we have several we all got together and we sang the you know I'm not too good songs either when I when they sing them I can sing along but you know the song for Nishmas I know the Nishmas you know anyways we all got together we sang Nishmas the whole shul came together we sang nishmas sang nishmas okay there was a ness there was a nest okay now now I want to I want to say adan I'm discussing this there's a real sh of what do you do when you have a nest during an It's a real shallah. Okay. So, I'm telling you this is said it's not. But it's hard to allow a mess of such magnitude to go by and not do anything about it. I I'll tell you I I mean the following we're still we're we have double digit every day. was still saying to them. And not only that, we've been we've been making a see them every single day. Everybody takes a a one blot. We we learned I don't know where up to I don't know what it is right now. 12,000 blot we've learned since uh since uh I don't remember when we started. Right now we're doing Tinus. Every day we make a every day we finish Tinus. We make a seabas whatever and and we finish a safer in Tanakh. Okay. You know, yesterday a soldier was killed. They don't you still got the hostages and who knows what's going to happen with the with with the nobody knows anything. It's an aora. It's an okay. So that's what we did. We sang nishmas. It was sang nishmas. We sang and everybody can can do whatever they want, you know, for to to recognize the nest. Okay. So again, now listen to this. One of the wrote a letter. I just punked. I never I never I just punked opened up one of our incredible publications and there I saw I usually never read anything but I opened it up and gave me this uh maybe because I was coming here a letter from Bergman Bergman letter is um to shin I'm going to read most of this letter and I like to talk about details in the letter and show what the connection is here. And then there are people who are he means he means and and the soldiers is cautious for we were just saved. And now this is his lotion. That's a Bergman's. And now he says like this. This is a very powerful line. So I want to say something. I was for the first time in my life. Whatever the reasons were, it worked out. I was to go to Okay, you know I told you I was in Lakewood and um okay I had a dy and um I'm telling you this for a reason and they whatever I I called up I said can I go they said yeah and you know and so I I I sat on the deis I'm telling you I'm telling you this not because I deserve to sit in the deis I'm just telling you I sat on the deis and I go I walk into this room and and two things many things happened but two things happened came in came in my father learn born the same within three months of each other and my father all my father learn and he walks in this man walks in the place erupts erupts It erupts. The place erupts. I was standing there. I was just crying. Crying. Someone means I don't know if you saw this or not. I didn't even plan on saying it over, but it just came to my mind. I don't I'm sorry. I don't remember the name. I should have checked it out beforehand. My son, my Rabbi Alicia Cohen was was there also. and he was sitting in the rafters in the rafters. They printed this and I think in the art he I told him to write it right away. He called me right we met in the parking lot right after the event and he told me that in the rafters for those people know anything about basketball I didn't even realize this was the stadium where the 76ers play. So in the rafters they have those numbers that are retired. One of the retired numbers I think the person's last name was Sh I don't Shaw I don't remember his last name I apologize. One of the one of the numbers up there was was a name with the number that was retired number. My son I'm sure was if not the only one from the only ones who knew that he was Jewish. This guy whose whose number and name was retired played in the Phil Philadelphia 76. was Jewish and he was born I think the kamat the same year as Rashu. So my son wrote, he wrote this letter. It was printed, I think, and it was printed in the air, Ted. He wrote like this. He said, "This Yid lived the American dream. He's a Jewish kid. He could play basketball. He made the Philadelphia 76ers. He's on the alltime basketball team of all basketball players." And then he wrote, "Who knows who he is? And who knows who is the world has changed. The world has changed. That's the first thing. I tell people all the time, every we say goes up to Shmayim and when Hashem wants to use it, he uses it in a rocket, a ballistic missile misses the whole place and lands in a you read the article about the person who parked their car and they couldn't get a parking spot. They parked in the roof of the park of the garage in in Bengurian and they came to get their car. They didn't know what had happened and their car was full of sand. The roof rack blew off. It was going on a ballistic missile landed near Bengurian, right? Everybody knows it landed in Bengorian. Let's not stop the story. It landed in Benorian. It missed Benorian. It landed into a into some pit of sand and the sand blew all over the place. It knocked the roof rack off a roof that was parked on the fifth floor of a parking lot. Parking garage had moved 100 yards. 100 yards. Not a nest. Omnumu this what does it mean? I'm not a I'm not uh I don't for that often but but uh but I what do we say I mean I'm just I'm talking to myself right now. I'm not talking I'm just sharing this. who sins. It says in our sins are we not included in that statement in state. Here it is. Because but the reason we need this is what the gland is writing. He's alive right now. He lived through this. That's what he's writing. And then I'm telling you I have to I was waiting. I saw this letter and I was to be called again to come here. I missed I don't remember. I missed the last two years. I don't remember. And then he says something. Everybody here knows this and I I don't know why but I'm assuming that most people will recognize this niggan. Don't ask me why we all sing the same niggan. I don't know why that is. I see everybody shaking their head. the hell, right? Somebody goes to the door, whatever your meaning is, right? But the for some reason, this niggan stuck. That's like, right? Everybody knows the niggan. Listen what he says. We say these words. What does it mean? I'm going to tell you what it means. I'm 71 years old. I was born in America. Until I was 11, I lived in Crown Heights. I got mugged a few times in Crown Heights. We moved to Brooklyn, Massachusetts. I got mugged in Brooklyn, Massachusetts also. I got mugged also. I got mugged there worse than I got mugged in Crown Heights. Okay. Now, but I never felt the way I feel now. some rapper in England says in front of thousands of people and they sing along with him and millions of people watch it and the BBC couldn't figure out to cut it off. You know the words I have to tell you the words, right? Death. Death to the IDF. What What is that? What is that? You You live in New York, but we all live here. Well, I live in Chicago. You live in Lakewood Mix. Everybody's living in New York. Who is Who is this? What is What's happening here? just read today what globalize the inter father. I won't use the words anymore but I still really believe in the sentiment. Well, what does that mean? What does it mean? What does that mean? I'm just reading what he writes. We should go back to him. He wants us to go to him. Now is the time to learn even more. And then he writes, okay, now this is the talking. He says, don't get so involved in every pr because it takes you don't get you have to get involved in every prat. Okay, I want to say something now. Do you know what happened with uh I'm a cowboy, right? I told you my grandfather had a farm. You I was I was a cowboy. I'm a cowboy by nature. So I read a little what a little bit. I'm sure everybody read you know this bomb with a nuclear reactor. Let's just talk a little bit a little bit. You know this bomb went down a ventilator shaft. You know that on the top of this mountain where the where the nuclear reactor was working 300 ft below the top of the mountain there was a ventilator shaft. You know the bomb went down the ventilator shaft. Listen to this. I want to read to you what uh what Amuma wrote. Hamodia spoke with Andrea Stricker, nonprololiferation and biod defense program deputy director and research fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies. Okay, it sounds pretty cautious. I don't know who he is. The mops went through for's exhaust vent. Why would the Iranians leave such a vulnerable spot open? Why they put an exhaust vent over there? That's a great question. This is his answer. That's a great question. And yes, that's how the facility was designed. I think it's unavoidable when you need ventilation for a facility deep inside a mountain. The US definitely exploited that, giving themselves the best chance they had to penetrate the facility. Okay, here's here's the line. This was just a natural flaw in the original Iranian design. As I state, this was just a natural flaw in the original Iranian design. Okay, if you are whoever this person is, Andrea Strickley Retin, but if you're in Boston tonight and you're coming out, but okay, I'm sorry you're coming out for me, but you have much more important people than me, but you're coming out to hear a shear and you know what it says? It says like this somebody I didn't read this article, but somebody you know people come to me all the time. A general said like this for the last 15 years during Biden and Obama or whatever they knew it was a nuclear reactor and whatever they saying hutz but clap panim the American government examined every foot on the top of that mountain and they knew there was a ventilator there and at the same time 15 years ago they invented a bomb that no one in the world has 30,000 lb bomb two bombs going to one plane the plane is so big it drops two 30,000lb bombs. It doesn't even shake. One pilot used to be in it. Now there are two pilots in it. They slept for 37 hours straight. Now they put it in a microwave in a little fridge in a bed. So one pilot can take a little bit of a snooze. But used to be only one pilot. Now it's two pilots. It's not sh but couldn't get that bomb. They wouldn't give it to him. And then they decided decided. Remember this a keshbu decided this. How did you feel? Just stop for a second. How'd you feel the day that you got the news about the beepers? How'd you feel? Oh, those Israelis are so smart. Is that how you feel? That's how I felt. But I caught myself who made the Israelis so smart. That's what happened. Who made the Israelis so smart? Everything is from Hashem. Every single thing is from Hashem. Every single thing is you have to be toes decision of who would be the facilitator. But everything's from Hashem. You got to stop first. They got to be wow look what Hashem did. And he gave the Israelis ability to do it. Not look at the Israelis there. Oh yeah. Yeah. And the Bach was also there. They didn't make a floor. Aeshbu told the Iranians to put a ventilator there. Then he told the Americans to study the rock the mountain for 15 years. Then he told them to invent the bomb. And then when Bahu decided that it would be the right time, Trump decided, no, Akadesh Bahu decided that Trump would decide to send these bombs and somebody made a GPS that worked so well that they went down the ventilator shaft, which was made 15 years ago through a floor, quote unquote, while they're inventing a bomb that could be this buster that could go through this rock. Now, what happened? Need some glueium. Need some glium. Read it. Read it. We just happen to be learning this page. have to be mak to the facilitators but everything is from hashem we have a vad I spoke about this many times have a vad a few vad the vad is based on the mash of n used to say a vad what was a vad kilm somebody said something they made a kabola they go around the table how you do with the kabola so we've been working on this for I don't know 35 years the cabala we're working on presently is is two words. You ever think I I I listen I never thought anything. I'm a very simple person. You know me. I'm a simple person. Nothing here. I'm a simple. You know what it says. I didn't even think of it. Somebody in the bar thought of it. Every single day we say this, but only one time. So if you miss it, you don't get a you don't get a makeup. We've had other cabalas in Schwanes, you know, they dab three times a day. Satar. You can say it five times a day, but this only say once a day. every day, once a day. What do these words mean? What does mean? What does it mean? You know what it means? It means it means simply what it said. Every that's happening in the world, Hashem is the B. He decides who's fighting, where they're fighting, when they're fighting, who's going to win, how they're going to win. Bise. That's what we say every day. We have a cabola. It's hard to do. When you say those words, scream them out loud. Not so depends on what your children should take. Hashem is the mbelievable thing. Then continue with the letter. It's the letter is unbelievable. I've never read a letter like this in my life. Meaning a letter that I just sat there was media. I was just reading it slowly again and again. Listen to what he says here. Zoo now Bergman he's 90 plus years old one of the last the son-in-law of there's an a he's living in Ben he wants to tell us what we should do what should we do he just said about him listen what he says What did the gor say we should do during this time of saka? Be nice to your wife. Be nice to your kids. Be nice to the person sitting next to you in shul. Be nice. Oh, come on. You can't tell me anything more than that. It's got to be nice. Be nice. You know what he says? Okay, everybody say, "What's the rest of the song?" What's the rest of the song? What does that mean? I want to tell you what it means. Again, just simple shot. I'm not telling you simple shot. What are you supposed to do? This is the way I grew up. My father sh was a very big man. He's a big man. Big man. And he was strong. Very strong. And I was a kid in bed. I remember being in bed one night and there the wind was I don't know if it was on the farm or was in New York. I don't know where I was and I said I have nothing to worry about. My father told me he called he used to carry me up the steps in Crown Heights. We lived we just saw the Eastern Parkway. It took me two hours today to get from the airport in LaGuardia to get here. Two hours longer than it took me to fly from Chicago to New York. It was unbelievable. But I passed Eastern Parkway. I lived in Eastern Parkway. 1040 Eastern Parkway. I didn't get to 1040. I lived in East Parkway. Father would carry us up the steps. Father show me say I love you and I'll protect you and no one ever hurt my children. And it was like a show is out. Then I got a little older and I said I got a little, you know, more mature. I said, "Well, you know, what's going to happen if there's a, you know, something really big?" We live in America. Live in America. I went to school social studies. They showed how many tanks in Russia. Remember those? Those guys people are older. How many tanks in Russia? How many missiles in Russia? How many how many how many how many bombers in Russia? How many bombers in America were catching up? We're behind us. They're ahead of us. Yeah, we lived in America. And if there's a problem, we call a we call a policeman. Is that that is that is that not the way we grew up? And anybody's a thinking person nowadays. Is that the way we can feel? I I'm not here to scare anybody. I'm just here I want to think. I want to think. I started thinking. I said to myself, what what happening? Where's the world I grew up in? Everything was pushed. Everything was nice. I tell you the truth. I spoke this last week. I spoke in H3 in England. I went to England to speak. Why am I telling you that? Because I want to tell you I didn't want to go. I didn't tell anybody I want to go. I don't want to go. You know why? I don't want to fly to Europe. I don't want to fly to Europe. You want to call me a scaredy-cat? You want to call me a chicken? Call me whatever you want. You know, I can't hide the way I look. I wasn't really interested in, you know, I got picked up by a cab today. He was wearing a turban. It was a very nice person. I asked him who's born. He said in, you know, in in India, okay, but I never thought about who my cab is going to be in the Guadi airport. You got into a cab. He went the more people have to think where am I? What am I saying? What what happened? And then I said that's what my Bobby used to say at the say dude. And everybody else in this room's bubbies all that's used to say it to say that's what he's saying. That's the truth. So That's that's what that's what we got to do. That's the that's the shot. That's the song. That's what we all grew up with. Except now it's becoming a little bit more reality. And that's that's the is quoting because calls on what does this mean? What does this mean? I I'm not telling anybody that they should change the way they talk, but I I myself talk this way because I can't. But I think about it when I say it. How's everything? Everything's you know the reb I feel so bad I did not write this down whichb said it such a somebody comes to his saysaldic say they're all married they have thereforaldic no what does the rebb say what do you mean everything's galdic you ever see what's on the other side of What do you mean everything is scholic? Okay. So again, we can't walk around depressed. That's not depression is not the option. Well, we have to walk around as realists. Everything's galic. There's a war going on. What does it mean there's a war going on? Now, this is got I'm not getting I don't want to get political. I'm not getting it political. I'm just want to share feelings. I I was I I Ramsha. He's from the the last the last of Zatal who's still giving sh on a daily basis. And so I I try to get close to him. It's very difficult to call him. He came to New York a few months ago. I flew to New York to have a 15-minute appointment with him and I flew back and I brought a bunch of clippings from newspapers and I said I asked him did you say this? Did you say that? I don't know who's saying anything. Now everybody comes every day hack me a cup with AI. I want to go on record. I don't like AI. You know, a person got a call from his son. Tati, this is Yakov. I was in a car accident. Ship me money. The father, the father said it was his son on the phone. The father, he kept this cool. He called his son and the phone and the son answered.
