here for uh a number of years already i don't remember how many years and uh we've gone through different cycles of speaking about different things we've spoken about things la halacha maybe things about tonight i don't know how to title what i'm going to be speaking about except that it's i serious a good word for that and um and uh you she was the terminology okay we're going to speak about something i consider a extremely serious topic i'm going to begin i thought of this topic several weeks ago but many things have changed in the last number of weeks and the first thing i want to say is i know that it may not have hit home here as it did in chicago but there was a very serious incident took place yesterday in highland park highland park is about 20 minutes from where all they didn't live in chicago all the froome you live in chicago highland park is full of yidden of the seven people who were killed and and the thirty they were wounded um uh two of the people that were killed were hidden and um i had a very close friend who was there and um it was a very very frightening experience obviously wishing everybody who was wounded that they should have a a recovery but the people there are pretty uh they're pretty shattered people everywhere pretty sure it was two weeks it was two blocks away from a from show so it was a pretty uh obviously it's an extremely serious incident so we're talking about the state of the union how lack of perspective yes it is this is what took place so uh i'd like to begin the following way i made a hejman before speaking here my brother is here we have we have four grandparents they were all lived in america and they were all here uh more than a hundred years ago our my grandfather the earliest one he came in 1904 118 years ago i happen to personally feel that um i have a lot of accuracy that's life to america a lot of the car a lot of our cars have saved to the country i've gained a lot living in this country my uh all my grandparents were here many of my great grandparents lived here and had one great great parent who lived here as well and now hashem we have children grandchildren my siblings have grandchildren my wife's siblings have grandchildren it's uh we're able to go to yeshiva here able to have fun here what about and as many goddalam have said and we've all heard from many good alum it's uh for the first time in my life of living in america i wanted to i wrote a letter just i didn't put it on paper yet i wrote it in my head i wrote a letter to the president and to the supreme court and to congress the senate and lately i wrote a letter to the mayor of chicago again i haven't put it to paper yet but i have the letters in my head i have to write them and i want to talk about the state of the union so let's talk about the state of the union the first question is what's a union what's a union the state of you what's a union you cannot have a union without a hebrew meaning without people feeling connected to each other so i'd like to begin tonight with a a horror that i heard from my mokutenzo my son-in-law told me from his father ibrahim his father of chef till new burger i just liked the way he asked akasha it grabbed me he wanted to know the following bayes nissen the first base nissan in the mid book claudia show let me try him on the 15th pesach base nissan in the middlebury what happened on base nissan in the midwest it was a geval de gesher one jew had a child and he answered the shiloh in an unusual way who is the idi nasano bensour the sonoma tua brought a carbon on the second day of nis she's about to bring a carbon he has the govaldigeital what's the shield yesterday an action made him another protocol nachster vanilla carbon was given so today should i outdo him and bring a carbon that's more precious and more beautiful in the in the vernacular studio than his carpet or not should i out to him shout out to her what are you evolving a child so what do you decide this elements who are solomon's who made a decision we made an incredible decision i'm going to bring the exact same corporate as knoxville no competition exact same carbon the marshavo ramban we all know it the shovels of the marshall but the carbon exact same curve that's what it is you know what happens when you do that you make a union you make a union i don't want to make a race i want to make a union he brought a carbon i'll bring the exact same carbon what i'm thinking about i'll think about it what he thought about he thought about derek i'm wondering if that's why rashid says the shot and the corbin on the solomon two and not by national minimalism even though hari nakam another was the first when rashi explains the carbon he explains it by the son of answer and not by nak nakshama was to bring the karvan but the solomon two was the machadesh to bring the same chord okay leil shabbas right relaxing time finished davening you walk home so i'm walking home little shabbos and one of the people that i normally walk home with is walking with me and he asked me a cashier this is the second best cache that anybody ever asked me while i was in the show one cache i was walking into show somebody asked me akasha he mummish stopped me cold he took away my breath was the first time i experienced breathtaking it was a breathtaking event i couldn't breathe and this kasha was was almost there it was a good baltic shot he was depressed he was sad but it doesn't say physically host a dieter he's das hoshide that's what's weak she says to me like this what happened what happened iron felt bad and we would say again in the vernacular he fell apart iron fell apart iron was told they should give up he was the monica clarke show for 60 years give it up to my shabbato okay someone believe i give it my job to myself my brother you want give it up give my job to my brother or mr mole he didn't get an invitation to being a car but it's called shaddai what happened i grabbed him i said i don't know what i'm going to say tomorrow but i'm going to try to enter the discussion not i love the kash i love the cushion moisture menu goes up to shaman is giving instructions he's going away for 40 days he's giving instructions he's the leader call you so he's giving instructions so what's his instructions bring a tower on the court that was his last instructions it really means you haven't didn't tell your dna but it means all questions so we don't know what happened for the first 39 days maybe there were questions maybe there weren't questions maybe aaron answered all the questions maybe iron ironically answered all the questions but in day 39 came a big question i'll give all the gestalt day 39 39 comes the question to aaron and tahur where's maisha ho that was the question where's moshe so now we have a child where is he where is he what happened so what happened now what happened though so whoever got stark who got very stark because he saw where this question was going and whoever took a very strong stand about this question what happened what happened to him they killed him they killed they killed him there's a very strong question here horror took a strong stand he got killed now aaron is the only one left what should he do aaron he's feeling the optic horses is coming the eagle is coming he feels something's coming here what should he do strong stand he'll get killed okay i can't go into all the details right now this was the shabbat shuba russia a number of years ago but i was just going to tell you i'm going to go to the aside aaron made a decision this was his decision i have to figure out a way to stop this without getting into a fight because if they kill me if they kill me people remember guinness if they kill a novi and the korean on the same day then i can have a kaphora i have to work this out i got to stop them but i can't do what horror did even though he was right i can't do what he did i can't do what he did so whatever aaron did we're not going to get into it but you know there's a plastic here that is left with aaron hakoyan for the rest of his life you know what deposit is it's a very scary plastic it's a prosecution hashem punished claude israel that they made the eagle aisha alsa aaron the terrorist says iron man diego that's a scary passage iron made diego i made a very difficult decision i'm not going to let them kill me i'm going to try to work this out and he took a tremendous unbelievable plastic i should also iron you know what happened as a result of that iron is called in the iron made eagle you know what happened in shelter that now let's go to aleph nissan we don't usually put these dates together what parsha is out of nissan was also out of nissan they're separated with a lot of a lot of sukim here a lot of pastures shemini's allison this and what happened i was listening sheen is supposed to come down shisha maya and mulum is the last seven days of ardor the eighth day is the australis nissan aaron walks in remember the michigan was finished on cafe slave and they were waiting finally and now it's nissan and aaron walks in hits the switch so to speak lights don't go on turns to maisha banu his brother what does he say to him rashi brings it down what does he say to my shaving masha my brother maisha my brother you brought me into this matzah you brought me into this massive um i'm embarrassed because the shkina didn't come down because i did the ego you know me already everybody says yourself came down but that was step one alex nissan olive nissan what happened in the 13th day of the fourth i don't know what day what was after 12 days after 12 days what happens iron aquarium says and pasha's ballista what's going on somebody made about mitzvah i didn't get an invitation again we didn't get invited 12 days every day at carbon every day at nasty where's me where's my shame it what happened to us you know why back to the ego back to the eagle he knows what he sacrificed aaron okay he made a decision to save follow your show he knows that am i still am i still responsible for the ego doctor got his back with no whatever you've got is bigger than them don't worry about it i want to answer your question what is your question greatest day to you what's the greatest say to you no come on tell me tell me don't be happy you're careful what's the greatest moment on the greatest day of the year no what they avoid the right no no they avoid it in the basement right the avoid is the greatest moment on the greatest day of the year in the greatest place with the greatest person right playing god the light what happens he walks in congress walks in what happens when he walks in uh no no no no don't go in do not go in they tell the kind of girl don't go in change your clothes why should i change my clothes big dakuna big day kuna why am i changing my clothes because of the hegel you know what that means every single young kipper every time a coincidence walked into the final of them and your kipper here you go change your clothes somebody in show once asked me akash they told me of the next few years we have balding aboard so the crane girl has to walk in change your clothes no gold ego ain't gonna take it off when did you do the invite in front of what what's inside the kardashian issue in the first place in my dish what what's it made out of or it's made out of gold really why don't they move the urinary and kipper this man out of gold it's not my gosh it's a murray dick akasha what's the answer unbelievable answer who made the iron the towel then then cord didn't make diego or fought who i got killed of course gold is allowed inside ain't categorized why because aaron was concerned about the state of the union aaron worked to save the union like nasano bansula worked to save the union aaron clay knew i could do what gord did but i couldn't do it because claudia shell wouldn't survive if they killed the crane and in the navy unbelievable this year every time a current girl walks in he has to take over his clothing change his clothes what happens in sloth oh yeah association brings down desire social brings down to zoya that the miraculous said we don't want to be an heir to sure why not suck this because we're going to lose our job well i don't know what the shot is i know what the shot is why they thought they're going to lose their job what was their concern but the mississippi show brings down the zoya we were afraid they were afraid to lose their job what they do they came back and they said we can't go they made a decision which caused us to be in flatbush tonight we're in flatbush because of that decision you know what their decision was my my covert my job me i come first that's not working for the state of the union that's not working for the union the marathon didn't do what aaron acquainted did magnum didn't do what the solomon tour did the brother did what was good for them and then comes along forever this giant it's so hard to understand the whole passion but one thing is for sure whether it was kidnap whatever happened my rush through there rashi asked it twice what was going on with kyogre but the one thing is for sure kairak wanted something for himself and not beneficial for claude israel he did not work for the union heard a gravalda gabor this year mama should all give there are different a few different printings but listen to this plastic we all know the plasik passage is entity shows look huh i'm only shows up i just want to be myself not myself i'm just saying but what is it that solvents who are the sheena comes when it's in the comes when it's a molecule okay let's go a little whiter let's go a little wider that's the union let's talk about the state let's talk about this state what do you do with this mission everybody say everybody knows the mission it's a very famous mission pk office beginning a pair of gimbal

apartment apartment building on 1040 eastern parkway and the helena rubber came and he moved into the building on the bottom floor there was a steeple and in the basement there was a mikvah before that there was a dentist's office and that was the building i lived in so i used to dab at this table sometimes i thought we drive it across the street and she used to park like whatever the other shows what so i remember the first time i saw it they put up a picture of a fish on the wall of the shul during either a fish right they still do it right still do it yeshivas don't do it right lifted

daf hey right at the beginning you're safe like she was safe and written by sarah it's it's impossible says impossible a human being cannot swallow another human being a wife impossible that he can hear the screaming of the human being and do it it's impossible there's no such thing ryokan says this ayah the mission says below he says him below means you're going to swallow the person alive because you're not going to hear the person screaming you're not going to see the person screaming what does that mean i'll tell you what it means in illinois a number of years ago this is my should show your cochlear a woman was driving a car inebriated i don't know from what okay she's inebriated she hits a man the man slides up the hood of the car and his head and shoulder goes through the

gets covered you know shiva he gets covered sits in the front tomina stand up for him he gives you yeah it's coming i rob rob gets coming you know he says he says she moves in his fixing shield sits in the music front irish kayla gets covered my principal gets covered what about a dying not enough business a diet a person learns through and he sits by dna tyra well what happens to him what happens sam so i'll tell you about i'll tell you what happens at the din player i didn't tyra you could have an entire 30 40 50 million dollars didn't it you got to read through 500 a thousand 2 000 pages people giving you all this information and whoever loses hates you and the pay is like you know i mean your mama should get hundreds of thousands per session right who who who would want to be a dying why would anybody want to be a dying so the interesting thing interesting thing doesn't say this about a rather shiva who gives a gesh call hadon brings it down this way what about the diet who says you know 10 hours 4 days a week 40 hours i gave up and won the entire i didn't learn a word any other word called dunden ms amitay mouth across isaac with tyra collier who you get credit like learning all that's down learning oyster like you were always sick and tired all day then there's a really brought it out we're learning at six o'clock in the morning of a cuddle bike here we'll only hopefully honestly honestly so it what happens if a dying a dying makes a mistake he makes a mistake he makes a mistake makes a mistake and the mistake is considered a garmee and the dying should pay for making the mistake he said something whatever happened and they killed an animal he said an animal was traffed and not in the early days whatever happened and now he costs somebody money not only don't i get coffee now they don't what i learned not going to pay if i make a mistake also get out of here leave me alone who wants this and you know what happens if that's the attitude there's no day on him you know what happens if there's nobody on him you can't function you know what happened to my sherbet i said this before i alluded to it a second ago that possible that um told aaron was if you have any dna tyro and claudia shell got aaron what did my shirt made to do when he came down after the second time when young kipp on the next day what happened what's he doing all day he wasn't passing childhood he was passing shadows of dna torah and yesterday this can't go on you got to make a judicial system he has to be a i'm not saying everybody should say that i've gone through so many dna during my lifetime if a person goes up to shamayim after 120 and he never went within during his life i am sure he's going to get a bigger chakra after that there has to be a place to go for dna torah if there's no judicial system the community cannot function so therefore we have all these things for the union you're a shooter my separation says you'll learn torah and if you made a mistake a legitimate mistake you don't pay otherwise there's no we can't function all of this was a hagdamma to the serious part here's the serious part here's part one of the serious part i'm in my seventh decade living united states of america i said before i like this country i spoke to three very very prominent individuals in claudia's show i'm not going to mention their names i'm going to tell you everybody in this room knows their names very high level people extremely high level people you all know their names i asked them all the following questions in preparation for this year so i want to ask you something do you feel right now america has a is going through a bump in the road or do you feel that the ground is changing underneath us this is not a i'm not talking to scare anybody it's not my point here i want to talk realistically i said the beginning i can't have another term except serious here's the serious part where are we holding i'm an optimist by nature i don't feel comfortable i don't feel comfortable i'm asking these three people what do you think i'm not going to tell you their answers but their answers were worse than i think and i'm going to tell you

about to say but in a certain vein i want i would like the people in the country to stop and reflect for a moment last week something happened in the supreme court i'm not about the way everybody's like this is just that all these things flew into my lap i'm not i'm not big into reading anymore i used to like to read what's going on i can't find anything to read that whatever i don't want to go i'm not going there right now i don't press my buttons but you know last week they nominated the supreme court for the first time uh this is the way they say right a black woman to the supreme court for the first time right so we live in a country four members of the nine members of the supreme court are women there are two african-americans on the supreme court and there's a jew in the supreme court ruben yamakula what do you want from america it's an incredible country it's not an incredible country there aren't nine white men on the supreme court like the use of china isn't that a good representation of the country what's the matter with this country what do you want from the country come on look at the supreme court didn't we have an african-american president i'm going to tell you something else now and don't take it out of context please don't take it out of context i'm a very i will say about myself i i'm a little bit of a forward thinker and sometimes people don't like that i'm too forward don't bring up these subjects what do you get to talk about it for we don't have to hear about it i'm not that's not me i'm afraid if i'm afraid i talk about it you don't want to hear it you have to hear it 20 years ago i didn't do this you imagine i'm a rough 35 years i'm like 30 50. you imagine 20 years ago i would have gotten them said right basically i want to tell you you got

summit bay right 20 years rabbis you got to prepare your children because it's going to come a time that the mayor of the city of chicago is going to be a woman african-american married to a jewish woman you would have told me i'm out of my mind you would have told me sit down and what's going on in chicago that's going on chicago right now okay that's chicago and she came to visit all the shows once shabbat she walked down tui which is the street that has 14 chills and he wanted to see all the shows that chavez i gotta get to i'm gonna say something you want to complain i'm talking to the people at large not the people in this room for a moment you want to complain about america what do you want from america how much more do you need she's the mayor of the third largest city in the country but i have this message for the mayor i said this in shoreline shabbos and i wasn't planning on saying this at all but the mayor did an atrocity in my humble opinion i don't know if you know

lena i'm going to write this sir i'm going to first i'm going to give an example i don't know how many people here remember this or not shot this afternoon when i was a kid travis afternoon my brother is here he could be made i know which other family members are watching or listening or whatever you played monopoly shower stuff didn't play monopoly right you could play a game for two hours for three hours now here's the only way the game ends there are two ways for a monopoly game to end one way is somebody loses and he admits i lost game over one way is a guy's close to losing but he doesn't want to lose so he sticks his finger under the board you go i do and the whole board goes flying up and all the money goes flying up and uh yeah yeah the game's over i want to say something though it's very scary democracy only works if everybody's asking them to play by the rules if people want to stop playing by the rules we have a very scary situation you know what situation we have
