Shame
like to welcome everyone to tonight's sh
from
Daniel
like the exclusive sponsor of tonight's
shelv
Yeshua
mayor.
Tonight we have the cover to have with
us once again
speaker yarning for gula all day the
great is sponsoring one of the other
shurim or putting ad in the dinner
journal which will be in a few short
weeks in honor of
annual dinner
of worldwide throughout the year call
18651 or email istanet.com.
Tonight we have the special opportunity
to have the new safer from Gladstein
just came out. It's a piece of the
Yeshua. It's available in the back table
after this year. So I cover the corner
of Glaststein for tonight's Russia
but would like to say a few words about
the
>> I add to Rabbi Mid Rabbi Deutsch this
safe. It's a piece just came out. I we
scheduled the sh especially now was
supposed to be in the beginning of the
summer because we wanted to have
opportunity for everybody to buy the
safer. We know when a person needs
Yeshua we d every day
brings down that a person could put his
Yeshua in Hashem's and get Yeshua. So
today by getting the safety everybody
needs ishu I encourage everyone to take
one safe as a a new safer
made a small this is translated word for
word with many things about msiach and
about the owners and this is a for us to
bring the gul of Rabbi Glass please.
Thank you very much Rabbi Bald for the
introduction. Thank you.
actually I think uh that was like
because tonight already is tonight is
the
so let's begin with on the hila of the
today was actually the hula of the raami
panoi it's very interesting you have
three days in a row in of the great
mubalam you have giml of shams of
ashtapole you have dal raami pano you
have a and bay when I was init
to meet one of the greatest makubalam of
our generation Ravroya Dlitzki.
So he was nifter amazingly on baze a
actually when we came in everybody
wanted to take pictures of him he let
everybody take pictures of him he would
not let me take a picture of him I don't
know he had he didn't let me take a
picture of him but he let me kiss his
hand no one else was allowed to kiss his
hand I can't explain the significance of
that encounter
says we know that
the garra tells us and shabas and alfa.
Now this is very interesting because
rava was an amo. Ra was not a tana rava
was not a nvi. Even if rava was a nvi we
would be entitled to aski
can't be mad something new. So if RA is
telling us what the six questions we're
going to be asked from Shah this cannot
be the of it has to be it's in the Torah
it's in the otherwise raba would have no
right to bring this out even couldn't be
ra says
a person will be asked six questions
but one of the six questions is peace So
Yeshua. So let's begin tonight with
Darizo writes in Shakonos
that after after 120 when a Yid is going
to be faced with the question
Yeshua did you await the coming of
Messiah where is the designated spot in
in our lives to be Mai in this great
Indian that reveals it's when we say the
words
At this point when I was a bakar I grew
up here in Flatbush on M and 31st and I
used to walk to Harava Victor Miller on
what in Ocean Parkway. It was quite a
walk
>> R in Ocean Parkway. A little shorter R
in Ocean Parkway. Thank you.
and on rodesh
you know sometimes people not in bust
and not in flatbush but in other
communities it happens and that's why
there's a sim in sometimes people forget
y it happens it could happen there's a
whole sim what do you do if you forget y
so if miller would take a big chunk of
keys he would put it in the sther by yal
this way you don't forget it you know
sometimes even if you do that you you're
dabbing and you say what are these keys
doing here by you know takes a minute to
realize oh it's
really really we should take another
stack of keys and put it by the brad
it might be the most important that we
say every day because in this we have
the opportunity to the
year is a very significant year because
the way calendar was arranged. The
calendar this year is exactly parallel
to the year that the B mikdash was
destroyed. See, I already gave away part
of the answer. But does anybody know
what day of the week was the B mikdash
destroyed? Okay, you have eight choices.
>> Say eight. Very good. You was it Sunday?
>> Was it Monday?
>> No, Tuesday. This is a rhetorical
question. If you know the answer, you
got to
>> he I should let I should accept his
answer immediately.
>> What's when was the B mikdash destroyed?
The garra tells us in Tus that the first
B mikdash was destroyed.
Likewise the second B mikdash the mar
writes in the
that
great things are never coincidental. If
the bam mikdash was destroyed on mats
shabas both the first time and the
second time it must be that it had to be
destroyed mats shabas. Indeed the moral
says the only opportunity for the b
mikdash to be destroyed is shabas. Why
says moral
any time during the week that you're
headed toward shabas you cannot have
mikdash. The problem is we're always
headed to shabas.
Shabas,
there's only one little window of time
that we're not headed to Shabas. You
know, the only time we're not headed to
Shabas
Shabas says moral shabas and the
bameikdash are synonymous. They're
parallel concepts. This is based on the
principle called ashanum
sha nephesh which means there are places
in the world and times that are parallel
to each other. There are places that
correspond to various times. So for
instance what the ba mikdash is in place
shabas is in time. So the b mikdash is
so to speak the shabas of the world.
Shabas is the base of the week. You ever
notice every night in we say
comes Friday night.
[Applause]
Why are we talking about Friday night?
There's an idea that what what is in
place shabas is in time. So let's let's
illustrate this as follows.
Schlim al kabitz wrote a p that's
recited pretty much throughout Israel
that this is the central p that we say
to be the shabas
it has 10 stanzas.
If you were to ask yourself what do you
think this is about? Ask another what is
this p about? They would all say oh it
must be about chabas. The thing is if
you actually study the P it Ruba Duba
has nothing to do with Shabas after the
first two stanzas
Shabas
all of a sudden we're not talking about
Shabas at all
is about rebuilding the Bikdash his
restoring the Musori
we say wake up wake up that's about
restoring nva
is about the expansion of
could somebody please explain why we're
waiting the whole week to greet the
shabas we come to the pinnacle of kabala
shabas and we say a p that pretty much
has nothing to do with shabas at all
it's all about
why are we talking about these things
Friday night
says shapiro and he writes something
that is not typical of something he
would write. He says what I'm saying now
is
you know his are so it's usually not
the same way the says the designated
juncture of time to beha is when you say
the
but there is a time during the week that
is designated to be mitua.
If the garra tells us that the bame
mikdash had to be destroyed mat shabas
because only if you're moving away from
shabas can you have ba mikdash which
means if moving away toward shabas is
designated for that means headed to
shabas is designated for bikd. Oh, if
there would be a juncture of time that
is designated to be mit Yeshua, it would
have to be in the moments that we put
aside to be shabas. So indeed says
Shapiro, the purpose of Shabas is to be
the
Yeshua.
So just after you say
Now we're ready to segue into what we
call the parallel of Shabas. What's
synonymous with Shabas? What's
synonymous with Shabas?
The Bikdash. So we say,
sanctuary of the king,
royal city,
rise up from the ashes.
You've dwelt dwelt enough in the valley
of weeping. Then we go to hisari.
What's his about? Hisari is about the
restoration of the mus.
The medish tells us that when the b
mikdash was destroyed.
So,
Sidio Hamel was captured and Kazal
severely criticized Sidio because he was
the last of the scions of the Malus Bed
and he allowed himself so to speak to
fall into the hand of the enemy. Kazal
say he should have taken the head of the
enemy and smashed it on the floor. But
that was so to speak in a way the end of
the Malus Bid for then. So we're that
now that we're yearning for the may
hashem restore the malus.
But there was another thing that was
lost with the destruction of the bdash.
The garra says
mikdashlahim
prophecy was taken away from the
prophets. So as we're yearning for the
gula, as we're being met for the Yeshua,
we're also being mispal that Hashem
should restore the institution of nua
uri. What do the words urri mean? Uri
means they comes from shir dvara where
dvaru is speaking to herself. She's
saying awaken awaken. She's stirring
herself to nava.
Then we say with the coming of the will
expand
will expand
the call.
I don't know if they know this in Syria
yet but say
will expand all the way to Damascus.
So we say expand
might see.
And then we go back and we greet the
shabas,
which means part of greeting the shabas,
part of being the shabas is awaiting and
yearning for the the designated time to
be Yeshua is the written by.
So we have a few
junctures that we've identified off the
bat. beloved kabah shabas. So like we
mentioned this year the calendar is such
that the same way the B mdash was
destroyed on mats shabas this year
tishab comes out on mats shabas
but let's go back to the beginning raba
says that after 120 years we're going to
be asked six questions we have the right
to ask where in the world did rava get
this from rava was an amay he's not a
tana
he's not a ni
And even if Ra was a ni, we would be
allowed to ask, how does Ra know that
one of the six things we're going to be
asked after 120 is Yeshua? After all,
it's not even one of the 613 mitzvah, is
it? Is Yeshua one of the 613 mitzvah?
Does it say anywhere in the you have to
be Yeshua? Where did Ra even come up
with this idea? It doesn't say that
after 120 you're going to be asked, did
you put on fill in every day? That's not
one of the questions. You're going to
have to answer in the affirmative to
that, but that's not one of the big six
questions. They're not going to ask did
you keep Shabas? They're not going to
ask did you keep Kasher? Ra said you
could boil it down to six things and one
of them is not even in the where does
this come from.
So I want to share with you two
approaches.
The first approach we have to understand
simple words of the Rambam.
Many people after Davening they recite
something called the Yudgimlims.
There's also an idea the Rambam
formulated.
This is not the time and place but
there's a big question. Are there
Yudgimlikim
in Yiddish? Are there Y? Well, the
Rambam wrote Yudgimalikim. Did he does
it mean something? Is there an idea of
Shabas is not in the
where do these come from?
In fact
would say asked what do you mean? Let's
say somebody says I don't believe in the
they're notus. What if somebody doesn't
believe in one in the Torah? They're not
bey. So what exactly is an icker? What's
the meaning of an icker?
Soim
famously says the difference between
ankar and a mitzvah
is if somebody didn't have the benefit
of a Jewish education. So if you have a
guy you say Rabid why don't you put on
fillin. What's tillin? I never heard of
tillin. He never heard of tillin. I grew
up in Omaha Nebraska. I never heard of
tillin. Really? I should wear tfillin.
Maybe one day I'll wear it fill in. A
guy who doesn't wear fillin cuz he never
learned about fillain is not an Apicy.
The reason he doesn't do it is he
doesn't know about it. He's neb
unlearned.
But what if somebody does not believe in
these because they never learned about
it to no fault of their own?
Brisker famously says
if somebody didn't learn about the
to no fault of his own unfortunately we
cannot consider him a believing Jew if
he doesn't know about because to no
fault of his own if he doesn't know
about Shabas he could be considered
if he doesn't know the he's
the simple Simple reading of the Rambam
theasamifer rejects this understanding
of the Rambam
writes in a chuva there is no such thing
as yud gimmel
there is no status of
every word of is
and every there's no difference between
the
andel
also writes there is no concept of
says if they were then you could be sure
they would be in the
barnel says if they were yudgrim then
they would be in sh did you ever see one
word about yudg and shass the whole
concept is not spoken about that's
because saysel it doesn't exist the ram
only wrote ygimlikram for beginners to
try to initiate them into basic concepts
but there's no specific status of
yudgrim
But let's take it at face value tonight.
The Rambam wrote the following words.
I believe in complete faith in the
coming of Msiah
and the even though he carries
nevertheless
I wait for him.
You ever hear that?
Should we sing some of the songs?
Anybody want to
volunteer?
Any volunteers for a good niggan for
Anim? I don't know if that's within the
purview of the policies of gun shar. Do
they let people come up and sing? No,
I'm joking. Okay.
Aniim, they know about this, right? They
told me in Flatbush they heard about the
immun
comes the briskar and the briskar asks
the following amazing question on the ra
the briskar says the raam is not aus the
raom is a he's a po the raom asks no
questions and he gives no answers the
raom doesn't say
the raom just tells you
yes no all of a sudden when it comes to
msiah the raom became like
where is the Messiah? I believe in him.
Where did he go?
I don't know where he is, but I'm still
waiting for him. You hear the Rams and
the is really you believe in Msiah. So
where is he? The answer is I don't know
but I'm still waiting for him. Ask the
brisker of since when did the Rambam
become one of the balayatis
and if the Rambam is uh formulates imams
this way why didn't the Rambam askasha
I believe in complete faith that the
almighty doesn't have physical
characteristics why the
mask.
And then the Ram can answer.
The Ram asks no questions and he gives
no answers. Why when it comes to Msiah
the Ram has a kasha where did he go and
the answer is I'm not sure but I'm still
hanging around waiting for him says the
brisk that's because you need to know
how to read the Rambam the Rambam
doesn't ask questions and the Rambam
doesn't give answers you have to go to
the in the Rambam formulates
if you don't believe in the concept of
Msiah
I just spoke in the Yakish community in
Zurich. So there they don't say it's
if somebody doesn't believe in the
coming of Msiah or somebody doesn't
await his coming says the briskar the
Rambam is not asking a question the
Rambam is articulating two distinct
principles of faith principle number one
a yid must believe in the coming of
Messiah
Principle number two, it's not enough to
believe in Msiach. You have to actively
await his coming. And then the Rambam
concludes.
The Ram says if you don't believe in
Msiah or you don't actively await his
coming you're a kifa not only in the but
in the
where in theish does it say I need to
actively await the coming of Msiah you
tell me voracious
where is it in with the
it's could somebody tell me we're in the
does it say you have to actively await
the coming of Mashiach. Well, says the
brisk.
The words of are what we call sparse in
some places and rich in other places.
The Rambam derived that one is a kifer
in the Torah. They don't actively await
the coming of Messiah
from a p and paras
which can only be understood through a
par.
Okay.
You ready for this?
Pik says,
"I will be to them like a lion, like a
leopard on the way." Ashure. Where's
Ashure?
>> Assyria. Assyria.
Assyria is not in Brooklyn.
Assyria is in the Middle East. The Pik
says, "I will be to them like a lion,
like a leopard Asher." But says Rashi,
wait a second, Ashure. Every time in
Tanakh, the word Ashure appears, there's
a dot in the shin. In this time, in this
instance, there's no dot in the shin,
says Rashi. That's because the word
ashore here does not refer to Assyria.
Ash means something else. Like in the
Pukenu
[Applause]
aurenu
I see it
but not now
I wait an ambush for it
even though it's not close. Rashi
is saying the
I will beat to them like a lion
like a leopard on the road. Ashure not
Assyria. Ashure means I wait in ambush
like in the puk ashenu
says a brisker of this rashi and ha has
revealed to klis the source in the tra
that it's not enough to believe in the
coming of Msiah. You have to be waiting
an ambush for his arrival. You need to
wake up in the morning open your eyes.
and say I am doing chuva now because I'm
being myself in case Msiah comes today.
That is how you have to wake up in the
morning. You have to prepare and wait an
ambush for Msiah. Where does it say
that?
Ashenu means not I see him but not
close. You know if you if you learn
you would
I see even though it's not close but now
that we have
now we know the real tie to the isu I
wait an ambush for Msiah even though
it's not close. So the source in the to.
So here you have a every day he says
and he believes in Msiah. So you say
what are you up to? What am I up to? I
go to work every day. I go to Shirum
every day. No new. And what about Msiah?
Yeah. What about it? Let me know when
it's here. I don't have time to occupy
myself. I believe in it. I'm not waiting
for it. says the Rambamu
the Rambam calls that
but there's another possible source for
the obligation to beha
there's an amazing smack
the smack safer mitzv
of Rabitk of Corbel
whose Nif in 1280. The smack is one of
the mohammed the Rambam compiled 613.
The Ramban the
smack
the in the very first mitzvah in the
Torah. The mitzvah of
actually I mentioned I was in Zurich
when I was in yeshiva back in the day.
They had a big addition of the smok on
the bottom of the smok. They had
something called smack sur.
I don't know what that is. Smacks.
I remember seeing smacks.
There were notes on the
so when I was in Zurich they told me
they just found the house of the
sur
that on the So what does this mean? The
writes in the Abdulam that the smack
wanted his safer to be the official
codeex of Kal is. So he printed the
smack. He sent it to every single
community in Kal is and he ordered that
every community pay for his addition so
that if y didn't need to know they go to
the shul and they open up the problem is
not every single word of the was
uniformly observed in every community.
So every community had their version of
the smack the smack with the hag of the
rv of that community. So in Zurich the
smack sur
he's called the smack sur because he
wrote hag on the smack. He he himself
was a rishine
and he wrote on the first mitzvah of the
smack. You ready for this? The smack
writes, "The mitzvah to believe that
Hashem took us out of Mitsim is just
like took us out of Mitsim and redeemed
us from Egypt. We are likewise commanded
to yearn and anticipate that Hashem is
going to take us out of flatbush.
You know that flatbush is a gullus. It's
a gullus. There's tyra. There's shurim.
But it's a dark bitter gullus. And one
day the rebunish is going to take us out
of here. That obligation to yearn for
the coming of the is the first mitzvah
in the Torah.
If the took us out of then he's going to
take us out of g. It's the first mitzvah
in the says that
where did the smack get this from? He
said because what does Hashem want from
us? He says
who took out. Okay. Now, so what do you
want? What do you want me to do about
that? Can you imagine comes to and the
first message is I'm the almighty. I
took you out of Egypt. Okay. So, so
that's nice to know. What are you
telling me? The smack learns what Hashem
was telling Israel in the very first
communication of to is I took you out of
and therefore in the future when you're
in Gulos you need to yearn that I'm
going to do it again. That is the first.
So I want to share with you
it's such a good it's such a big and
it's so simple at the same time.
So that means the smack learns that part
of remembering that Hashem took us out
of is yearning for the gula.
I'm sure we're all we're all familiar
with with probably the most well-known
comments of the Ramban insh
the Ramban in the end of paras Ramban
wants to know why are there so many
mitzvah that are
so you wake up in the morning and you
remember to mit in and then you remember
ins
and then you walk out the door and you
see the muza and the muza reminds you
that Hashem took us out
And then you put put on a four cornered
garment and you put sitsus on and Rashi
brings from Darian that sitsus reminds
us of Makas.
And then if you still might forget you
take a cow, you slice it up. You make
straps and you limit the circulation in
your left arm to remember that Hashem
took us out of because it wasn't enough
what you did already. It wasn't enough
that you put on sets. Wasn't enough that
you saw on the doorpost. wasn't enough
that you said it. And if you still might
forget, you take a silver goblet Friday
night, you pour in wine, and you
announce to your family.
But I think you're still going to
forget. So therefore, seven days a year,
you can't eat pizza. Can you imagine
such a thing? Seven days a year, no
bread, no pasta, no pizza. Why? in order
to remember that Hashem took us out of
but you still might forget. So another
seven days a year you're gonna leave
your house and sit in a hut and you're
gonna say I'm doing this
wants to know enough already. How many
reminders do you need?
Imagine if somebody reminded you
something like that so many so many
times. Enough. How many reminders do you
need already? Says Ramb there not enough
reminders. Cuz when took Israel out of
Mitsim, he demonstrated all of the
tenets of Judaism.
Demonstrated all of the principles of
the Torah that Hashem Hashem's reality.
Hashem Hashem's Mitsio that Hashem is
all knowing. that Hashem controls the
world, that Hashem communicates with the
Nvi. All the principles of the Torah
were demonstrated with Matim. And
therefore, lest we forget the events of
Matim, which are the foundation of the
whole Torah, Shem says you can never
forget it. So, I want you to wear a four
cornered garment and tie strings on it.
I want you to say it every morning and
every night. I want you to every doorway
you walk through, you're gonna be hit by
the mazuza and you're gonna remember I
took you out of m and you're gonna wrap
it on your arms and you're gonna
announce it Friday night and you're not
going to eat and you're going to go sit
in the suka so that you remember your
whole life all the events of mim. So
let's just make one simple equation. If
you go if you go back to you know like
10th grade mathematics there's something
called the chain rule.
If A equals B and B equals C, then A
equals C, right?
One simple idea.
If part of remembering Hashem took us
out of Mitzim is yearning for the gula
and we're surrounded with mitzvah the
entire day to remember Hashem took us
out of Mitzim. Do you know what that
means? That means as you're wrapping
your one of the main to have aside from
the you know the says when you put on
you need to think I'm putting on
one of the main to have is I'm putting
on to remember which then means one of
the main to have when you put on fillain
is I'm putting on fillin
I'm yearning for you to redeem
Israel because part of is yearning for
the gula.
I want to ask you a personal question.
Do you go through doors? Do you ever
walk through a door?
Let's say when you leave this show
tonight, you're jumping out the window
or you going to go through the door?
You could tell me. We're friends over
here.
I'm presuming you're going to go through
the door.
You know that on the door there's a
muza. You ever hear there's a muza on
the door?
Stop kissing the muza, please. Unless
you first do this. Everyone's busy
kissing the muzza. Where does it say you
have to kiss the muza? I'll tell you
what it does say. The purpose of muza is
to remember Hashem took you out of which
means every door you go through is an
opportunity to remember took us out of
and to yearn for the coming of the gah.
When was the last time you walked
through a door and you saidam?
When are you going to redeem CL? That's
the purpose of the muza. He doesn't need
your kiss. He loves you too, but that's
not the purpose of the muza to kiss it.
Even though tonight's the yard said, it
comes from it's not in but to walk
through a door with a muza and not to
stop for a moment and think this is an
opportunity to be one of the main
avenues of in this world. It's bigger
than a mitzvah. A mitzvah they're not
going to ask you as did you do this
mitzvah.
Ultimately, they'll ask you, but it's
not one of the big six.
every door. How many doors you go
through a day?
A hundred.
That's a lot of doors in a year. That's
a lot of opportunities to be Yeshua.
That means from the moment you wake up
in the morning and you put on and you
remember
which means I I remember to yearn for
the and when I put on the I'm thinking
and I'm yearning for the and when I say
and's going to be redeem us.
You know how many times in Davening we
have an opportunity to imit Yeshua on
your way out you could take
as you buy the safer Yeshua I'm Rabbi
Bold said to this I'm I'm not saying do
you have to Rabbi Bold said you have to
right you could take a free bookmark you
know how many opportunities there are in
ding to Yeshua
starting from the beginning of Davening
you have you say the parat
is if you don't have time to say at the
very least you have to say
it's you say
it's an opportunity at the end of
what are we doing when we say
we're dabbing the's great name should be
magnified with the coming of the
Is it possible you could go through a
100 pages of the sid and at least you
should be able to walk out of the shul
in the morning and think to yourself I
was mappu a good two dozen times
so that when the so that you're ready
that you know that after
12 when they open up the book to ask
you.
Okay, the next one we know. Forget the
next one. We'll jump to the fourth one.
They're not even going to ask you.
You know the said there's a narrative in
the
that he's been thinking about his whole
life. He can't he can't understand it.
He doesn't understand why it's in thesh.
There's an old man. You may have heard
of him.
His name is Abraham.
He's really old.
Not only is he infertile
say
he's married to a lady S. Sor is not
Sor is an islandist. The Gumari says
and Abra had a ma and three of the
cousins they come to visit him and they
say good news guess what Abraham this
year next time this year you're going to
have a baby
Abraham laughs in joy Sarah laughs
incredulously
that should be the end of the story you
know what we don't even need to know
that Sarah laughed why do we need to
know that Sarah laughed But then the
story continues.
Hashem comes to Abraham and Hashem says
to Abraham,
"Why' the lady laugh? Why'd she laugh?
Why is Hashem, you know, like uh
meddling in the marriage over here? If
you would go over to a husband and start
criticizing the wife, that's not a good
that's not usually a good idea." And the
comes to Abraham, why'd she laugh?
So, Abrau doesn't say, "She's a good
lady. Leave her alone. She's old. She's
she's sick. Don't don't bother her.
She's had a hard day." Abraham then
takes the message of Hashem and he tells
her, "Lady, why'd you laugh?"
And it doesn't say Sarah turned white.
And Sarah was embarrassed. You know what
Sor did?
I didn't laugh. What are you talking
about? Why are you criticizing me? I
didn't laugh. Sora said, "I didn't
laugh.
I didn't laugh.
So what would a reg a typical husband
do? Okay. Sorry. Sorry. You're right.
You didn't laugh. You didn't laugh.
You're right. And then scratched it. I
never said anything.
[Music]
Abraham said, "No,
you're a liar. You laughed. You
laughed." By the way, you know, Rashi
says, Rashi says
that Abraham was tel to S Benas.
Really? If Abraham was tel to Saravas,
does any could anybody even name one
word in the Tory that Hashem told Sarah?
Hashem's constantly talking to Abraham.
And if Sarah was a greater Na, how come
you don't find any communication between
the Sar? You do. This says the words.
No, you laughed are the words of the
ream to S. God came to Sah and said,
"Lady, you laughed. Don't tell him you
didn't laugh. I saw Hashem came to Sah
and said
in his 20th letter, I could not I cannot
understand what this story is doing in
the it's a for that we need to know."
She laughed and once she said she didn't
laugh that Abraham says, "No, you did
laugh." And then Hashem should say you
did laugh
says this is a critical story in thesh
the story of Abraham and S is the story
of the Jewish people in the end of days
because in the end of days is going to
come and he's going to redeem Kl.
But he's going to ask us a question.
He's gonna say you didn't really think
it would happen right? You didn't really
think it would happen. I know. I know
you said animes, but you didn't really
think it was. You were laughing.
Hashem's going to say, "You were
laughing."
And we like Senu are going to say, "We
didn't laugh. What are you talking
about? We We were We went to Shirim. We
said anime imams. We sang songs. We
weren't laughing. We believed."
And Hashem's going to say, "Give me a
break. You were laughing. You really You
weren't really waiting." says,
"Therefore, it behooves us now before
Mashiach comes to prepare ourselves
to take it to focus on it to pay
attention to all the opportunities we
have." You know, we say in the doning
we're not just when we say those words.
It's the entire day. Almost every
mitzvah we do is an opportunity to be
mituah. Every doorway we walk through,
every muza we encounter, every time we
put on fillin, every time we say ka
literally dozens and dozens and dozens
of times throughout the day, we have
opportunities for Yeshua. So when we say
kilishuasa, you know, the biggest one of
all,
imagine if somebody there was an appeal.
So the they were they were auction they
were having an appeal for the sh
And they say, "What? What are you going
to give Ruven? $100. Shimine $1,000."
Ley gets up and he says, "I swear." And
he invokes the shame havaya. And he
evokes the shame. I'm going to give a
million dollars to the B madish. Whoa.
This guy better make good on his word.
Can you imagine? He stood up. He he
stood up and he invoked two names of
Hashem and he said he's going to give
the money to medish. That guy better
make good on his word. Says
every single
we make the following declaration.
Therefore we are waiting. We say the
shame. We say the shame and we pledge.
We declare in the shul in front of the
kaidesh that we're waiting for the says
you better mean what you say if you're
going to be invoking the names of hashem
heaven forbid to say empty words and say
hashem
[Applause]
you know there's Very challenging
question. How could you dab in for
anything?
Imagine somebody makes X a year and he
comes,
I think I should I think you should give
me a raise. I'm making $100,000 a year.
I think I should make $200,000 a year.
Give me $200,000.
So, are you allowed to do that? Didn't
Hashem already make a calculation? Could
Does Hashem have the money to give you?
He has the money. So why isn't he giving
it to you? Because he knows it's not
good for you. So who are you to ask
Hashem, give me the money. So you're
saying, I know you think it's not good
for me. I respectfully disagree with
you, Hashem. I think it is good for me
to have extra parasa. How do you davit?
How does dvening work? You know the neim
asked this question?
says, "You can't ask that way. You can't
ask Hashem,
give me more. Give me Rafoolah." Hashem
knows. Hashem is able to give, but he's
decided and he knows that it's better
for you not to have it. So, what are you
you're going to ask for it anyway?
You're going to say you disagree with
him. So, says, "Here's how works." Theam
knows that it's good for you not to have
the extra money.
But it hurts Hashem that you don't have
the extra money cuz he loves you even
more than you love yourself. So even
though it's better for you not to have
it, it's better for Hashem that you do
have it. So you turn around and you say,
"I love you so much. I know for my
benefit you're giving me a
but I'm
it's okay if you give me more money
because I know for you it's better that
I have the money that is the process of
the only way to dav is for the sake of
hashem otherwise you can't d that's why
says
all the are for the honor of hashem that
sets the mechanism of in the beginning
of the year we say we're ding for and
then every other throughout the rest of
the year we
ditto you know seeer
when I dab in for your honor you could
only dive in for the honor of that's the
only way works
so the kenberger rebel would say when
the when the kenber rebel was in awitz
he would say
even if I walk in the valley of death.
I'm not afraid. Nothing to be afraid of.
Whatever is happening to me, I should be
afraid. It's for my benefit. It's for my
good. I know you love me. Ra. But you
know what hurts me. What hurts me is
it's good for me to be here, but it
hurts me so much that you have to suffer
here with me. For me it's good, but I
know you're hurting for me.
That's what's
says the
is
we're not ding for the gula for
ourselves.
We're not even so sure the gula is good
for us. I'm saying it nicely. We are
sure whether the gula is good for us.
It's not the garra says the days of gah
are
it's not necessarily good for our own
personal
it's better for us in the gulas. What
are we doing here? We're here to do
mitzvah and to get reward. You can only
get reward in the gulas. Once Msiah
comes, everyone's going to jump on the
bandwagon. It's going to be easy to
serve Hashem. Our reward is going to be
mitigated. Msiah is not for us. It's not
for our benefit. our b we say
it's not good for us we're dabbing for
mashiach
it's for your benefit
that's how the cloberb
was mal
I'm not afraid of anything but rawi
perhaps you had the privilege to meet my
grandfather
who spent the last years of his life
here in Brooklyn.
He passed away at 106 years old, he was
a Tamu of Ramsemba
and he would say every day he was in
Awitz. He believed Shalma that Msiah was
coming that day. You know, we talk about
Messiah. My grandfather waited Msiah
like it was a reality. You know, you
order something and they say it's coming
either Monday or Tuesday and the
doorbell rings and you run to the door
cuz you know it might be it. That's how
he awaited the coming of Msiah. So the
wrote the safer Yeshua and it's amazing
he wrote it about in the year 1911.
Theim could not publish the safer in his
lifetime
because of censorship.
Yeah. You say censorship? I'll just give
you an example. When the was dealing
with the sensor, the sensor, by the way,
was a Jew, was a Yid. He was a Mascll.
The sensor
of safer was the son-in-law of the chief
of all the Mascul. The chief Mascll in
Lithuania was Adam Haken Levenson, who
when was a young boy was lurking in the
base med to try to ensnare the and get
him to go to the seminar. and he would
strike up the an hourong conversation
until a water carrier went to the he
said you saw mayor what are you talking
to this guy he's a he's a flagrant
violator of and it's a good thing the
didn't say I'm not I'm not listening to
lashhara the listened I can't tell you
if he was mabel but he ran out of vill
never again to go back to vill
years later the meets up with this guy
Adam Levenson's son-in-law Joshua
Steinberg by the way
put a cla on Levvenson that he should
not have any Jewish descendants and he
doesn't have any Jewish descendants. He
meets up with the son-in-law Joshua
Steinberg and Joshua Steinberg he's like
he's hash he's so upset that let this
young boy get out of his grasp
and let it slip out of his mouth. He
said
and this Steinberg sensor said all
mankind are equal. How can you say? So
you could just imagine if the sensor
didn't let say the word to write a safer
that the is going to redeem Israel, take
them out of the gulas and bring them
back to Israel. There's no way that
safer would ever get through censorship
and it didn't.
So there was a magazine in the time that
was published between 1910 and 1915. It
has the same na name as a current
magazine but it's not the same thing.
The Hamodia was published by a RV in
Paliva Rev Eluinoitz
published a magazine a newspaper called
Hamodia. the like you know like the yat
supplement the had to put in a little
magazine called cphua and
that was the first publication in 1911
the had a talmid
y
mayor Jacobson
who became a rabbi in Boston
he published
see peaceu translate into yiddish in
The son-in-law Arin Hako didn't know
about that publication. So Arin lived in
then in Tel Aiv. He republished in 1929.
He writes on the title page this is the
first time see Yeshua is in print as a
safer for Israel
but the never published it in his
lifetime. But now in our time it's been
published many many times. It's a
critical safer
and as important as it always has been
Yeshua, I think we could say now more
than ever is this the calling of the
hour.
You know, for those who say the words,
what do the words mean? Most would
translate, you look in a sid, it's
translated with a great love, Hashem
loved us. Rav Schwab writes the word
rabba does not mean great. Rabba means
everinccreasing.
Rav Schwab says theam's love for cli is
ever increasing. You know if you were to
ask who does hashem love more
rishim
the ela zas the zas
us our children. Who does love more? The
old generations were our generation.
Says Rub Schwab. As much as Hashem loved
Clal Israel a thousand years ago, 500
years ago, as much as Hashem loved our
grandparents, as much as Hashem loved us
yesterday,
Hashem loves every Yid more today. And
as much as Hashem loves you today,
Hashem's going to love you more
tomorrow.
So if Msiah didn't come today,
you have such a greater chance of making
h making it happen tomorrow because
Hashem's love for us is
so we all be
to for Hashem to all of our and all of
our
writes.
