Seagate.
So last week I had this of being a
shalesh
instead of being a seagate which is
one of the places I live in. I was in
shales and I have had this of being by
the Thursday night.
So actually it reminds me of a story
when my came first time
um he met
which is his was this week
and he asked him what what he thinks
there are some people who say you're not
supposed to go to the are you allowed to
go you're not allowed to go so he said
to him you're not allowed to go you have
to runem
Yeah.
And we're back in Golas. So this these
this week's par
from
are called
based on the provided
should come back to him as wrote from
before him as well that these weeks are
very misul was very big sigula that got
closed back close to and sat tikun for
the pam habrises.
So I have a few pieces here that talk
about this the significance of these
weeks.
First one is he was an of the
he writes like
our job in these days of
a person shouldn't think
that fasting
and breaking yourself is the most
important thing.
They told they told us already they
warned us
in our times imaging
these weeks is not fasting.
I know there was sadikim that fasted
shabas shabas famous story of one of my
great-grandfathers. It was a big msag
was a of maj.
So he used to fast mishabas shabas from
shabas until shabas. So it was once in
the middle of the summer time he was on
his way home on a Friday afternoon and
he was so thirsty your mom she was
thought he was going to pass out and he
came by a well with fresh cold water
and he went over he was going to drink
and as he was about to drink they said
ah you're such a giver.
You're going to you're going to control
yourself. You're not going to drink.
He's about to walk away and start kept
on bugging him in his mind. Wow. You're
so strong. You're so powerful. He said,
"No, no, no, no. Sahara, I'd rather
drink." He went back, made a shak, and
he drank water. These were who they
worked on themselves. Myb
used to fast every single day, but at
night he ate, but he fasted every single
day for 50 years.
Except for
we not the days we don't say
those days he didn't fast but every
single day he fasted on he fasted two
days straight he spoke about it already
once
and his aid was but regardless of him
you saw by him that although he fasted
usually personal fasts especially
fasting every day it pulls you down you
get uh get depressed with a smile always
happy.
So the sheish says that the in these
days the name of the bashmto is not a
fasting it is to connect through to
he adds to this.
So in the in the the years we have an
extra there's al also two extra shabosum
through
but this year it's only
these days are a time for for correct
which is
there are those who fast and they uh
they break themselves.
is better preferably say himself
I'd rather become enslaved to the house
of
and to make sure that everything you do
in these weeks should be
not enslave yourself into fasting and to
breaking yourself
going in the path of the
goof. That is the most
Okay. Looks like he's going to attack
me.
It's the most most important.
It's better than sigui.
moving huh
>> of course
he brings later on something very
interesting
move self understood
a person who enslaves himself
whether it's learning
to to to make sure that everything you
do is
it helps more we call
more than all a goofing that a person
can do.
It's also parallel to the words of the
someone who came to ask him.
What can I do to correct my nephesh? I
know I I sinned and I want to I want to
have a call. He wrote like this.
Although I am being being lenient and
not not pouring upon him, burdening him
with
to say completely don't do anything. I
can't say that.
according to as many sins as he did
the multiple sins. So also has to be in
that way
to be learning
diligence that is the most important
thing.
The most important the person should
learn is the things that
has
significance
to learn but not only
writes
to learn.
That's a powerful statement that
learning
is as powerful as important and as
putting on film every day.
Somebody who learns diligently and he's
innas he will not face. I once want to
say for in the that gave two weeks ago.
[clears throat]
So it says that shimen is Mishna. So
there's a medish that says that
Jacob sits by the door and anybody that
learns Mishnayas
doesn't let him in. So the best school
to be saved from
as they say hell. Yeah. Is to learn.
foreign
was a big part of the once had being his
caver in Ukraine.
He say anybody that comes to his caver
will not die without cha
give him give him
says
famous says that a bus called came out
and said repent to me my children who
are strayed
is not acceptable
all those who are strayed
Specifically in these
are the weeks in
Even those that defiled themselves in
such a terrible way.
They'll be outside
of the holy curtain
that's for these things
writes as follows.
A person who learned five hours straight
without one word other than
He's not going to go not for coffee, not
for stickle cake. Just learn for five
hours straight.
Nally says I think
this is a wonderful thing which helps
and purifies and forgives. Maybe
it means this person that can sit and
learn for five hours which is not an
easy task.
Some people have only have problem only
five minutes but to sit for five hours
straight and learn is
an avoided
and it brings the person to
he also said also said that learning
five hours straight
that's like wow imagine fasting from
shabas to shabas like we spoke about
before but if a person can sit for 5
hours straight and learn. Mo should
challenge you. You ready?
>> 5 hours maybe.
>> Huh?
>> 5 hours maybe. Not the
>> No, but 5 hours. 5 hours.
>> Shabas. They eat at night.
>> What?
>> They eat at night.
>> No,
>> they fast five days straight
>> straight from Shabas until until Friday
night.
fast.
>> Huh?
>> These people who are able to fast 5 days
a lot of fast.
>> How how many hours?
>> Four hours.
>> Four hours. Okay. So, you go through
lunch early.
>> Yes.
>> If you fast 5 days, you can make you can
make your early chabas.
Six days actually.
from what you
say
in these days specifically in these days
is with the mouth.
That's why a person has to wash his
mouth.
Someone who watches his mouth,
he saves himself from all kinds of
watching your mouth. If a person is very
cautious with his mouth, what he says,
what he what he does with his mouth,
that saves him from all kinds of
form.
That's why a person has to wash his
mouth.
A person shouldn't speak
lies.
You know what is right is when somebody
comes to you and says you know what this
guy said about you. That's
what she welcome home.
>> Huh?
>> I should tell you that you
When a person wants to speak, he speaks
with me.
So the me can be open can be closed. We
know that at the end of a word is in the
middle of a word, beginning of a word.
The entire Torah is given us between two
men.
That's the first mission
all blabber is no good
but blabbering
is
so because of the uh the wars that are
going on in the world today especi
specifically in Iran which is poras. So
there's a very famous
in
which many people know about it but
because what's going on today I think is
very very appropriate to uh to go
through it
the year that will come revealed
the nations of the world will be
fighting one another.
Mosh, I think we learned it once uh back
in the day.
Melik Poras, the king of Poras of
Persia, which is Iran,
which is Saudi Arabia. And they've been
bickering for years,
which is America
little man comes and asks America, what
do we do? the
and the Persian king or the leader no
king today leader
he will destroy the entire world
all the nations of the world will become
petrified and shaking from from fear and
they'll fall on the face
just like a a a woman who gives birth
the the uh the pain is is is is
unbearable.
So also the nations of the world will be
in that that that that that
situation
is
the world.
They will become overwhelmed and they
become frightened. They will say
where do we go where should we go?
Hashem says to them will say to them
bonai my children
have no fear
everything that I had done and
everything that I'm doing
I'm only doing it for you
what are you scared says don't be don't
be frightened
the time of gula has arrived
not not like the the previous gula
like we're learning these pares now what
is going to be the the now
in the first after we still had we're
still enslaved by other nations
but now the last
it'll be free forever
This is where the words come from.
>> [snorts]
>> words. So Msiah was standing on the on
the rooftop of the mdash and they say to
the time of redemption has arrived and
then he continues and say to him if you
don't believe me
look at my light which is shining upon
you. So I I never understood this until
one day I heard someone say
this is a mashiach. He's standing on the
roof and he says he gang le
not talking about talking about
sohat.
So I was once at the Marovi and there
was a a rebby there the principal a
rebby I don't know why he was but I I
didn't go close I just heard from far he
had a bunch of them around you looked
like an American and he was telling them
this
said
means that you don't believe in yourself
that your mean anything
person stands and ds for hashem if you
don't believe in yourself you don't
believe are doing
Like the says in the
stand up and shine your light. Your
light has arrived
and the glory of hem is radiating from
you
and only upon you only
not on the go.
The darkness will cover the earth. The
earth meaning they're earthly people.
The people are not spiritual connected
to Hashem.
So in that moment,
Hashem will shine the light of the he'll
brighten the light
and the entire world will follow the
light of
the says the nations of the world will
will follow in your footsteps in your
light.
And the leaders of the world, the kings,
the
from the from the shine of your of your
light, they will follow that.
They will come.
The nations of the world will come and
they will leak the floor from underneath
his footsteps.
And the earth of your feet, they will
lick.
and all the nations will come and fall
on the face in front of
they're going to say
we we will become your servants
and every single will have
1800 slaves
very it's very hard to comprehend.
Imagine we're going to have 18 every
have 1,800 servants. They go like that
and yes, what can I do for you?
And in those days, in the days of
Mashiach,
10 people from all other nations will
come,
they will grab onto our clothing and
say,
"We want to go with you.
We have heard and we see that Hashem is
with you. We want to follow you. We want
to go with you.
>> mine 1,800.
Nobody says over here it's 10 from he
>> has a00
>> it's 2800 4* 7
>> 2800 okay no
four countries
saying 700 times more each each
2800.
>> Uhhuh. Okay.
>> Okay. 2,800. I'm good with it.
>> Rest of fire.
>> We we'll hire him out who
He was a
lov
and he learned from the
so
there was a very famous in in
back back in in Europe in Ukraine there
was still a
was one of and there were 200 sadikim
with white begod white beckishes at that
wedding there's a very famous story they
were snagged them to the bum from
shishka
they they held that the bumish is is
going is straying away from the
and they want to put
and that was a great opportunity because
all the sadikim were there were
thousands of thousands of people there
so they came to this and the Buddh
five five giants
One of them is
and when the uh the
sawim
and he he asked he he he he presented a
and got up and he was a short guy. He
got up on the chair and
so the the set him next next down set
him down next to him and later on he
danced with him. So the that they were
trying to put in the and realize that
it's over
famous
the reason why they call him his
neighbors his one of his forum was
called but he was he loved every single
to no end.
So in this week's para starts with
we know
he spoke to him tough
and he said
spoke softly and
why because he said
he spoke to
tough
So spoke back to him and said
because
also shows on
is also has the ability
to pay to pay back whoever deserves it.
Therefore, it's hard to understand
the end of the session.
We know that.
So, how does sayious
It seems to be that
goes according to his
in the last par
the end of of
says over there
you will see now you will see what I'm
going to do to
so from that
now you will see what I'll do to
coming into have to fight all these 31
kings. You're not going to see that. So
we see already that Hashem spoke to him
even in the last and this is
continuation.
So when said to him, you're not going to
see the
you're not going to come into obviously
wanted to come
not because he wanted to to enjoy the
goodies of he wanted to have the mitz of
says over here
that the beginning of the tak spoke to
him.
That's why
it softens up and says that although it
seems like it was but it was and he
explains
it was
and the great love that had forem
revealed to him an extra love.
Hashem notified him right then
the great
goodness that will come out of the fact
that he will not go and test his
says in
that's the is about the destruction of
mdash
on destruction singing a
should have been a should have been a
lamenting
because Hashem punished by destroying
the Bikdash which is only mortar and
bricks and wooden.
If would have come in,
so all the other nations, all the other
kings would have been disintegrated.
They would have disappeared.
And the entire land they would have
conquered it easily.
So he would have built
so when he will comment will build and
will be there forever
build
would have built it could have never
been destroyed
what would have happened
would have sinned the way they did would
have destroyed so the fact that Hashem
didn't let him go to
the fact that didn't let him go was a
favor to
his not going. The fact that he will
stay in
he will save
was always that was his way.
He always was.
So now that we see that spoke to him and
it seems that spoke to him.
So it was revealed to mo.
So through that it was revealed to
which came out of that.
There are other goodies which are
hidden.
He's not going into it.
That's where the says
it's preferable to have
a rebuke which is openly rebuked rather
than a love which is hidden.
Therefore,
says that a person has to thank Hashem
when something that seems to be not good
happened to him, he has to thank Hashem
with the same like when a good thing
happens to him. Imagine a guy won the
billion half dollar lottery. You think
he'll be happy at the moment?
Eventually, he'll be very sad because
everyone's going to cling on to him,
take away his money. But the fact that
that he has at the moment is beyond
understanding beyond our grasp. So when
a person gets something that seems to be
bad, something bad happened to him, he
has to thank Hashem with the same
we know that from
nothing bad can come out.
So when something not good happens to a
person,
he becomes
clamped into some situation.
Hashem did it for his benefit.
But the goodness is hidden with inside.
In every single
is asked to believe that although right
now it seems that it's not good
that everything is for his benefit
of
always does good to his children
specifically especially for his favorite
children.
But now at the moment
He doesn't see. It's not revealed
because at this moment this person is
not worthy of seeing the goodness that
Hashem is doing with him. But eventually
it'll come out.
When a person will reach a understanding
or come to
when a person reaches that this level of
understanding that everything that
happens to him whether he whether he
understands it or not is
because when a person believes that
although it seems dark right now but I
know and I believe that Hashem doesn't
do anything that's not good for me
that belief
will turn things over and it'll become
sweetened
and he'll get to see the revealed
kindness and the goodness which is in
this situation
and that is the rebuke which is revealed
but inside within it is a hidden love.
Because there is a love and kindness
hidden within this situation.
Everything that happened is for his
benefit
Hashem.
we can't go without.
So says this week, Hashem said to
Moshenu, "Go tell Clro,
I will hit them with a bunch of makers
and then I will take you out of the
shrine. You will know
you understand forever that I'm the one
that took you out of the shrine." So
this is that Hashem is guaranteeing us.
It's a guarantee
that no matter what not then of course
then everybody will see they'll know
but even now
we know
that's the only reason why
a person should realize and know
as far as he's concerned
if you know that Hashem put us here we
have to know that this is for our
And Hashem promised us that it's good.
I heard from my grandfather
if a person would know
not just say it with your mouth. Ah I
know it's good. No but know that
everything is good.
Hashem would reveal himself to in a way
that nothing would be hidden
and the only point of coming to a
situation where things are hidden they
should man who that a person shouldn't
understand shouldn't realize that's the
that's life that even though we don't
see it
we have to come to situation where we
mish believe it to the point we can see
it with our own eyes
that person has to know this
Vegas. So now he takes it to the other
end person has to know that even in his
spiritual sense when he has a connection
to the
hem learning he learned for five hours
with
he shouldn't forget
that he himself if Hashem wouldn't help
him he'd be the biggest valator.
It's only the fact that Hashem is
helping him like I mentioned once
we say
open open my my my lips
my mouth
open
says no says deep and deeper
I can't speak I can speak to
himself puts the words into my mouth and
it gives you the ability to speak.
What's the days that are considered
you're alive? What is that? When a
person learns to a person does mitzvah,
he's alive.
Even those moments when you connect it
on the highest level to
you should remember from
So even in the times when it's in our
times we're living to see Msiah
after tonight maybe or tomorrow when
Msiah will be revealed it'll be the
ultimate good. Yeah. So even then it's
all
even then we should remember
if not for the fact that
we still we'll still be
from
blockages.
You would still be trapped in there.
What happened?
Hashem wanted to ingrain in us and still
in us even now in the
we should know
even after redemption after
we always remember that Hashem is the
one that takes us out of every
situation.
That's why in Shabas we say
that's the day that
brought on in
that
the other side it tries to cling to us
and grab away everything from us on
Shabas the worlds have it go up one one
step but the but stays on stays on the
bottom that's why in Shabas we d better
we learn better Shabas Shabas I can sit
five hours no
And then the week it's a problem because
the distractions.
Yeah.
That's why says
you have to know that that gift that has
he said
I have a beautiful gift to give to my
children which is in my treasures hidden
in my treasures. Go notify them that I
have this gift to give them. That's the
gift gives us every shabas. But we have
to know that it's a gift
every single day
before we say
if not for the fact that
we would still be stuck in
the fact that we clarify the situation.
Hashem gives us the ability to crawl out
of all our problems.
That's why before
we mention we mentioned
one one was
he took us out of and the second the
second was he took us out of we were
enslaved.
There were two things. One was the fact
that we were enslaved and second part is
that we're under the influence of the
Egyptians.
As long as a person has he's in he's
under a different uh a different oil,
different different something hovering
over your head.
like
he wants to be taken enslaved to the so
that Hashem helps him that all the other
all the other things in life fall away.
They don't have to go to work. They
don't have to do anything. Everything is
brought to them on a on a golden
platter. Why? Because
So first Hashem will take us out of our
boundaries, out of our enslavement and
then you'll become my nation, become
connected to the on the highest level.
What time is it?
>> 23.
>> Huh?
>> 23.
>> Okay.
If not for the fact that
was still being enslaved by the
Egyptians.
We still speak about
come after that and
Don't get scared when you'll see I'm
sending you to do all kinds of miracles
and all kinds of
and you'll see that he's stubborn. He's
not letting you out. You should know
that I'm making I'm making him stubborn
but
why? So the first five makers first five
makers are brought down that he himself
power himself didn't didn't want to let
go
and the last five rashi says
because he was such a rashi became so
stubborn and he tried to go against me
and I know
they're never going to do I know that
these these guys will never do
I prefer I will harden his heart.
I should be able to do the miracles.
Everyone should see
you should see my greatness.
So we see the par because he
strengthened his heart. Hashem said, "So
now I will strengthen his heart even
more." So wants to become good. He wants
with his whole heart to do aem.
He doesn't want to stray from his
he wants
Hashem will help him more than he's
deserving
because we know that from is 500 times
more than
that knows that every deep inside wants
to doem
there isn't a single Jew in the world
talking about a transer is there's
unfortunately wrote down all this forum
that
there's a mole and they're all
said that there's there's there's a mo
and kalis
other spoke about it
yeah unfortunately so we have to get rid
of those guys but uh but all the others
will do cha all the others no matter
where they are even they have the
tattoos until the the nose.
Unfortunately, the old children
we have to bring them all back to Hashem
will all eventually bring us all back.
Right.
It's constriction
which is
shak what why is what is
which means it's it's constricted it
stops
morings that when melik was looking for
the place of amdos he started digging
and the started coming up and wanted to
flood the entire world. So he took a
shem he wrote the shindal threw it in
and it stopped. So we see that this shak
is is something that constricts.
So
because that one time
when the when the world was spreading is
infinite. Yeah.
So when Hashem created the world, the
world was just going on and on and on
till said, "Okay, stop." So because of
that one time
he called.
So you're calling now with that name
forever because of that one time
says the famous
speaks about it.
Forever
your word Hashem is standing dormant
hanging in the shay. It's hanging in the
air. What does that mean?
Every single second, every single
moment.
Hashem constantly
rejuvenates everything in creation. Like
we say in the morning
with his
people say that the say means to so with
rejuvenates the entire every second
because constantly creates the world
every second he rejuvenates the world.
So just like in the beginning of the
world, the world was going on and on
until Hashem said die. So also now
because Hashem recreates every second
the entire world. So Hashem has to use
that name constantly
every single moment.
That's what stops everything from going
infinite.
It's very known. We wrote already but
it's at length
there is a
Hashem designed the it's like a computer
created the world in a way that if
you'll do this this will happen do this
this will happen and on and on and on
billions and billions and billions of
infinite amount of situations.
Therefore, everything in the world that
happens happens according to our
actions.
That's
constantly
changing according to what goes on in
the world.
Just like they say there was
children being a slave 400 years but
within 210 years
that his ability to change the whole
that's that obviously didn't know about
to come to redeem us to take us out of
the gal
exactly
