done that. >> I think telephones in keadab. >> Did you post the uh Yes. >> Sure. >> Five, six hours. >> Recently or >> No, many years ago >> when the TV was black and white, not the beer. >> TV was color. [clears throat] >> Those sunglasses definitely was black. Mandy, what's the story? >> Posting the link and >> Mandy, it takes too long. >> Okay. >> Okay. Good evening everyone. Can actually turn the volume down a little bit more. So, everybody knows the story this week. Yakob was going home with his family from the Luven. >> Yeah. And suddenly he heard that his brother, his his love brother, his twin brother was coming towards him. Abame 400 people they were coming came to to kill him actually. So, one of the things they said to I crossed this yard with my my own stick. That's all I had. Big family, a lot of sheep, a lot of slaves. So, I think that says Eden my were diminished. In other words, I did a lot of good things, but the fact it did so much with me every it did took away from the from the bank account. It's a pushup shop that was saying the fact that I'm that's also the fact that I can realize that everything is yours. So that was that's part of the is adding to that because nobody can say I'm deserving whatever gives us. So if Hashem gives us we have to realize that's it doesn't owe us anything. If Hashem would give us what we deserve would be in big trouble, a person has to become humbled and be embarrassed. The more with him, he became more and more humble. He didn't change even the slightest bit from when he left with he had a and he says now I realize that everything that I have that's all I have he remembered I'm in the same level as I was then remember 20 years ago I was poor I had nothing this took everything away from him, right? He was going to kill him. But he knew that Yak was at Sadik. So he made a deal with him. He said, "You know what? On you take everything away from me." So it's considered he killed me. So when he arrived to his future father-in-law, he had his stick. That's all he had, his walking stick. a person reaches the level of realization that is whatever is given is only he becomes becomes humble that's that's a sign if a person becomes humbled by theem does with him this is the right thing was saying the of of our existence in this world is to learn from the why did he say that why did he mention the god of my father my grandfather of to know to realize that that's what it's all about our to learn from them asks he's saying but also he's trying to from and he's saying is my grandfather my father but as the same he's saying so if you act like your continuing the legacy of your perish If a person chooses hearts to do to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers. So this helps him be able to live up to that other connection a real connection to them. That's what the says I know him. I know I know I know I know him from from the beginning said I know him that he's going to teach his children and his grandchildren's descendants to live that way. We see the fact that they acted in such a way that it became from that gave us the and story is not the is not a story book whoever things that the is a story bookish because if you want to write a story you can write much better stuff especially today with AI. This next piece is one of my favorites forum. I consider him one of my rebas. He's buried in whenever I go to if you ever go there. Then you go a little further down is the bishop. And a little bit after to the left there's a there's a there's a cave m I have to crawl in. Whenever I'm there I go I he's one of my rebas. I learned a lot of his forum and um he has a safer if you want to if you want to feel a connection to Shabas has a safer called Shabas. He goes through the we learned it a few times and we had a group in in Flabush and delicious. So this is a from this week's para which is very very appropriate very potent. So we all know the story of yeah went out leaders of she went to there's a lot of different media that one of says that the the the shikes over there in that area they wanted to slept her out they knew that she was a special girl so they tried to seduce her to come out so they started dancing around and that's how she came out to see what's going on that's how they helped her but say Benamore his father was what he He grabbed her, raped her and kept her captivity. Mamesa that we had the last couple of years in in Gaza the Lisa. Yeah, this is very very similar. So he came.

We'll do business with them. We'll make guilt." the kids the third day of the which everybody knows that's the most most painful time. So the two brothers and they went in they went in with their swords and they slaughtered the entire town. So in the dialogue brings a part of the dialogue said to Jacovu immediately as soon as he as soon as he heard about the deal he said okay let's let's let's go let's do it let's do it he went and spoke to the whole town he said we got to do this we'll make a lot of money now let's do right now. We think ask anybody said you love Hashem. Yeah, of course I love Hashem. He'll explain loving Hashem. He'll ask any do you like the love is going to answer. Oh, >> good evening my nephew. >> Evening my just spoke to him before on the phone. Sounded very good. Yeah. If you ask do you love is gonna answer you say love the gun hearts but if you take a look at the fact it's not true look at this look at the picture try to picture what's going on here his father was the king he was the leader of the of the entire city the god what >> he wasn't the mayor he was the king >> he was the king Well, it was tribes, I guess. >> Uh, I don't know. Ask Ask him. He'll tell you he's the king. He grew up with all the goodies that Ben grows up with. how image you see that he went he went to uh to approach the situation. He couldn't wait a second. Right now right now, what did he say? Whatever you tell me, I'm going to do. I'm ready to do whatever you want. I need this girl. Give me ask whatever what do you want money I'll give you nothing held him back nothing nothing nothing he couldn't restrain himself if you if they were to tell him chop off your arm chop off your leg then you get her he would do it what at the end when they told him they have to be. He was shown him. He was already he was an adult in tremendous pain. I've been uh years ago I there was there was an organization called Brisav organization. They uh they do. Yeah. You were involved. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I did 10 with them. They once they once they made a deal with me. They wanted me to come sing at a as a dinner. So I said, "I'll make a deal with you. Give me 10 sand and we got a deal." So they mim. But one of the one of the bris was a little kid. And the next one in line was a 16-year-old boy. Was a sight to see. This guy almost jumped off the table. But yeah, so here imagine this guy is in the boy jumped on the table. They wrote the >> Yeah, but he was he was petrified when he got when he got off the bed. You know when you go into a doctor's office, there's like paper underneath. >> They'll knock you out. >> You want to hear what I'm saying? >> You know when you go to do when you go when you go to a doctor's doctor's >> exam there there's there's like paper underneath you. >> When this guy got up, it was soaking wet. >> Okay.

He got inspired. He said, "If he can do it, I can do it, too." >> Wow. >> It was you. It was you. >> Yeah. Yeah. He saw my sunglasses. [laughter] Besides all that, imagine the whole town was laughing. This guy's letting letting himself chop himself off because he he wants his girl. But he paid no attention. He wanted her. He was ready to go into fire for that. He did immediately because he wanted her. So now get getting back to us. If we would talk such a level, nothing would hold us back. We jump over mountains. You see the that the whole life is only not interested in anything in the world but that we wouldn't pay attention pay attention like goof not to our physical our hearts would melt fire would melt from Um, who is this? Forgot his name. I think it was his name. His wife, he wanted to go to he wanted to go to Shiva to learn. He said, "His wife, I'm going to Shiva." So, his wife said, "What about the kids? There's no food. No food on the table." So, so he said to her in the field and give him he was learning in the in the in the elevated place of the of the marketplace in the but his clothing would tell was he was so engrossed in learning did that he left his code behind and he was he was there he was here he was all over the place on him the says that on him the love that you have for the don't know what's going around >> you do that then the world >> huh >> you do that into the world. >> Yeah. You wear sunglasses, people think you're crazy. He went nuts. He didn't know. But we full of baloney. I bring you the best. How do we act when it comes to physical things in this world? When a person wants to get something in this world, how how difficult it is how we labor and do everything in the world to pull us in the world. What L stands for? Every leave always laid. How difficult it is and how how difficult we labor to bring for our families. We're constantly the is working all the whole day overtime should do it this way should do it that way. If a person would act that way when it comes to that would be approximately 250 years ago. >> Yeah. [laughter] When it comes to its he didn't say that he got to a level that's so so so strong that nothing meant anything >> right nothing was important to him >> not saying go >> no it's not what he said >> well that was 2 years ago by the way >> okay >> that was 2 years ago the master that was almost 2,000 years ago. He wants he wants to compare himself to >> he's saying that there was such a dude where a person gets so draw from learning. >> Yeah. >> They were disconnected from this breath smell so bad. So we described already how he came into big box of ashes. But when it came to the difficult he put his whole face into the the ashes. They were so connected to the body meant nothing. in order to miss the every single day in in ice in ice river to break the ice in >> that's why he was able to p such a shield >> yeah he was exactly exactly the world exactly connected he was he was basically he was connected to Aba Masa. >> Okay. Could be. You looked it up in Google. Thank you. >> The Google a person who labors. It's not going to go to waste. A person who really wants we labor a whole day. We're chasing the buck and no matter how much you have, it's not enough because if you have a billion, you want two billion. We're not talking about millions anymore because millions says pettash. Yeah, we're always missing something, lacking something. Take it into your mind. Take it into your heart. [clears throat] At least as much as you're investing into your physical. It's not worth even one of one point, thousand. at least the minimum at least split it 50/50 a half a day, a half a week, half a month, half a year depending on what you work with, what your what your is at least 50% of your life should beem. While you're doing away, don't let anything distract you. with a complete heart. Fire to connect through say dos. There are dos and don'ts. We know that is part of him. It's not like us. We are human beings and we have certainness is part himself. So David says we should be connected to him [snorts] and a person he connects his essence of his life because when a person speaks said when a person you put your hand in front of your mouth while you're speaking you'll feel the wind coming out of you blew into blew into him. So when we speak the is part of the the part of the when we connect to him we long onto him from the tremendous distance that we have in this world. We're in such this is called it's why is it called? Because the isum he's hidden in this world. He hid himself. The is all over the place. We don't see him. If we would see him, we would have a different life. But he put us here in this darkness. And in this darkness, he wants us to serve him. When created the world that was why he created this world he knew that we're going to be distant away yet he wants us to be connected. There's nothing in this entire only wants wants to have the fact that we connect to him through that's he has so now he goes back to our so working in the So while we're doing a physical whatever it may be some people work with the brain. Some people work with physical labor but we shouldn't disconnect for a moment our love and our connection that we have today to be cautious and heed to everything that he warned us about. In other words, to to to deal not to do anybody, not to not to hurt anybody. See, everything in the world is from him. There's nothing. There's nothing in this in any other worlds anything but his co his light and his shea and his nothing else. There's only so I heard I heard a interesting story today from uh what's his name? Rabbi Gold. Rabbi huh? No, he's a >> he's his nephew of the first cous. He told a story that the guy was driving onish from Tel Aviv. I don't know which direction say which direction but he was driving on a motorcycle and suddenly this motorcycle started slowing down slowing down slowing down and and stopped. It's pitch night pitch dark and there's nobody there. Nobody, no cars, no good, nothing mamish middle of the night. So suddenly he remembered there's a from the brisket of he say mad. So he started saying mad once, twice, five times, 10 times, 20 times till mish became mad and suddenly he sees a truck coming his direction. this huge tractor trailer and the guy pulls over on the side. He sees him stuck and on the entire side of the truck. The guy picked him up and he said and he told him that 20 years before 20 years earlier he had in this exact place he had a a motorcycle accident. his his motorcycle broke down completely and uh somebody picked him up and he was waiting for the day when he'll be able to do back of in that place in every place where we stand everything that we See and everything that we do, everything that happens in our life is the through that when a person is conscious of it, he gets the love and the fear of the we should plant into our hearts love that we should have for him and fear. The fear doesn't mean to to be scared of he's going to punish us. Fear is of the greatness of Hashem. So if you guys ever want to get ever want to get a gishmach in Shabas to really feel the Tom Shabas should learn his called Shabas his mom is delicious delicious.
