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
