July 4: the Rebbe's view, Rebbe Raayatz sat on Washington's chair in 1929, Kind country - RC Dalfin

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.
