A good of shabas to everyone.
It's
shabas pasin.
It happens to be that this shabas the
English date is July 4th. It's 250 years
since signing of the independence
declaration of independence
the 1776.
So what do we ty Jews what do we learn
from this? What do we have to think
about? Well, the Reba behind us
taught us and spoke about it what we
should think about and that is that
America is a Medina shell
that America is a good place. It's a
benevolent and kind place. It's a place
where you can prosper, you can thrive,
you can enjoy and you can be a full Jew
in any way, shape or form. And for that
matter, you can be a full Christian or a
Muslim. Whatever you whatever the the
person, the human being wants to
religion wants to follow, they could do
that. In other words, freedom of
religion.
Over the years, there were
blockages to certain religious acts and
behaviors. For example, when I lived in
Marin County in California, the 1980s,
we made a kabad house and there was a
whole issue with a zoning issue. At the
end, we won the case. Then in 2001 or
two, the famous RUPA case under the
guidance of President uh Bill Clinton
was passed making it much easier for
religious institutions to be in
residential areas etc. Just yesterday I
read that the Supreme Court will take
the case in Ohio of a of a Orthodox Jew
who has a minion in his house. Whether
that requires a permit,
we have to be thankful.
There's something called
means denying the good, denying those
that are good and did and do good
things, giving them recognition.
this weekend in it. of course it's
Shabas and it's Shabas one of the first
the three weeks and we know that what
that means it's a it's a sad time for in
our history and in our life with
restrictions but at the same time the
only way out is through happiness and
sim
through inner joy. When you think about
what took place 250 years ago
with the July 4th Declaration of
Independence,
it it it should bring sim.
We we Jews have been in oppressed
countries for thousands of years.
And even
those that are oppressed today
because of the enemies surrounding the
Isis, there's still freedom. You could
still walk on the street and put your t
on and keep shabas and make protests and
jump up and down.
Inish we say
you must think about it. You must
reflect and contemplate. So I want to
encourage all my listeners and viewers
to take a few moments and think about
the Medina
the country of kindness and benevolence
specifically United States of America.
And look how we are leaders. The entire
world centers around United States of
America, Canada, Australia,
Europe,
the Middle East
all
are looking to
find grace in the eyes of United States
of America. And the word United States,
unity,
that's what makes America special is the
United
bringing people together, bringing
backgrounds together, bringing people
who have opposing views somehow to sit
at the same table and enjoy each other
and learn from each other.
the freed
when he came here in 1929 and 30
practically for a year to visit and to
strengthen Yiddishkite Judaism
throughout the greater United States by
traveling to many cities
when he was in Philadelphia he sat
on
the chair the president's chair and he
also which in which they say Washington
sat in that chair. President Washington
and also he there was that was at the
Liberty Bell.
In other words, the Fred Kerba
saw and recognized the virtue of United
States of America. He didn't do this for
a show. He didn't do this because now
97 years later
from 1929
I should be able to talk about it and
share the message. He did it because he
believed in it.
many raonim rabbis, scholars,
they all came to here to raise money,
bring back money to Russia, to to to
Europe, to other places in Europe, etc.
The Fed KBA became a citizen of of
United States in 1949. Unfortunately, it
was just a year before his passing in
1950,
less than a year actually.
But
this is important.
So as much as we all want to be init the
holy land of Israelites
until that moment when Msiah is coming
and Msiah is coming my dear friends this
isn't a figment of someone's imagination
it's a reality
the Reb teaches us if we change our
paradigm and we think mashiaik
we we are we then live Msiah today. But
we want the real Messiah, the the
individual who come and rebuild the BA
mikdash and bring all the Jews to
Israel, the in gathering of exiles and
the inclusion of all non-Jews through
the seven universal laws as the Reb
started the campaign in 1983, I believe,
and it continues today. It's even
stronger and better.
So all of this is part of the Medina.
So let's not forget it with all the
problems and with all the issues with
all the anti-semitism and with all the
killings and murders and taxes and and
and and all the things that are
happening at the end of the day, you
still have freedom. And don't complain.
If you DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, GET UP AND
DO SOMETHING about it.
Stop whining
and complaining. May Hashem help that we
go with this
and we bring more of that into our lives
in in a real spiritual way. Enough with
this material pursuit of more money and
more money and more buildings and then
more real estate and more stocks. Get
down to it. It's all about Hashem and
God almighty divinity
of if you if you if you do it through
real estate great but don't forget that
the main ideas elus
godliness
heavenly
divinity never lose focus and we have
that opportunity here in America
spoke about this regarding the freedas
coming to America in to settle in 1940
and he said that that's associated with
the idea that Mashia will come from the
from the lower hemisphere specifically
taking the what's below and under and
and
you know not apparent godliness and
elevating and transforming it the takon
should become elon should become superal
and special
and the says that That's through the
coming here and bringing the light of
andad to the entire world. Not just for
itself but with everyone else to inspire
everyone else to do more. And today my
dear friends
it's all over. Jews are learning.
Jews are giving sudaka toidis
is now a
ham. It's a coin that that travels,
meaning it's a a a coin that the dollar.
It's the dollar.
THE DOLLAR IS ACCEPTED ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD. EVERYONE WANTS THE THE AMERICAN
DOLLAR, even though the dollar maybe is
is down in some places, but at the end
of the day, the dollar is the dollar.
Is like the dollar, it's all over.
Open yourself up. bring it into
yourself, to your children, to your
grandchildren, to your family, to your
friends, to to those that for years
maybe were opposed to, but now they see
the value. Just the other day I heard
about someone who had opposed the
previous and he said, "I made a mistake.
He didn't understand me and I didn't
understand him."
The past is the past. We have to live
with the present and the future. The
future is mashiach. The future is the
future is the future is
together and united. May it be so. This
this shabas when we celebrate the 250th
year from July 4th, 1776
and we and we understand that this was
all
to experience Mashiach in the most
beautiful and best way.
Good. I love you all.
