Oh, so today was a very big myb. It's still it still is before. So the the history is a >> after after the bashto have passed away for MJ that's >> okay okay after the bashto passed away his of the mid he became he became the reb most of most of bashm became his except for became his own his own In the mid had a son they called him a malik. The reason they called him the malik because he was mish disconnected from this world. He lived in the in the woods. He was a bisboed old his whole life. He didn't eat. He didn't sleep. He was a mamish mish. They called him a malik. The uh the mugged had many many famous. So the uh the mid asked the balat who was to learn with his son Malik Malik was teaching him and kabula and he was teaching him nigla. They were learning for a long time. This Malik had a son Shakna Makn was the father of the original. The had five children. Each one of them was a was a big reb in his own right. One of them was the father of who was the Reb's Reb. So after the passed away, his son became rabbi. He didn't last a long time. He passed away and his son became rabbi. the original's greatgrandfather whose name was also he was aid from the first when he passed away suddenly he was young he started going to the brother the sader but he couldn't find his place he was very very attached to his reb and he was very broken about it he couldn't couldn't deal with it so his father came to him in a And he told him, "Go to I left a son of Rumatui. Go to him. You'll have exactly what you had by me. Go to him. Not a problem." And he went there and u an incredible story that I heard today from uh my colleague who was Maris many years ago Burkowitz who lives in he lives in Montreal. He told me I heard this story from the Reb himself. So his grandfather Zavl went for to his reban alteri and there was a plague there was a corona in those days people were dying like flies and although ko was not in charge then but whoever was in charge then was mamish was vaya you couldn't gather you couldn't get together it was a terrible terrible decree was mish terrible He went anyway to his Reb not to go to the Reb in middle of he passed passed and it was you know if they catch them they called the doctor and the doctor said what's what's going on here you're not allow you're not it's illegal to gather what's this gathering you're not allowed to gather and he tried to tried to take to heal said, "Give him give him water to drink." It was him. They gave him water. Stefanesha walked over to him and said, "Say off." And he woke up and he got up, but he couldn't leave town because the the the doctor reported to the to the authorities that there was a illegal gathering. So, they had to uh he had to keep him there for a couple of days and he had to go in front of the judge. And when he went in front of the judge and said, "This is me. I'm alive. I'm fine. Nothing happened. And they dismissed the case. Case was over. So when the reb was here, uh he ded here the first year that he was here in Seagate. He ded him Kipper upstairs and the shul he was filler. And when he used to damage, those who remember him, he used to stand mish like this bent over for like an hour and a half. There was a Yid who lived there blew a bacher who went over to the Reb after Ding and he said him but I was here I saw what was going on I saw that the youngsters the tried to copy you they could stand three minutes five minutes how long can you stand like this how could you stand so long so he said that's what I stood was long my used to stand there a whole day and then he got stood up like nothing ever So I I this this week I we went a different route. We decid I decided to go rather than big long chunky pieces and has to have to concentrate for a long time. So a little bit shorter and you also get a cocktail variety of different have a big huh Hey, take mine. It says in the post of what does it mean? He died from old generations. They didn't die. So he says very interesting says the the ones who follow in his footsteps who still have they're still around and so what's the difference? The difference is that we should say not like we see in many different places. People have to realize that any every every person has a different sha and some people feel a connection certain places some people feel a connection other places wherever a person feels connection that's where he should that's where he belongs that's his so nobody should try to uh to missionar missionarize you have to be like this you have to be like that you have to be like close to that's another another safer also from Israel. So, Hashem gave him a mission. You have to go. You have to go by every you got to be there. as we know you have a kissi and he's taken so many different reason I don't know but that's why he's a malik I'm a human when he got the job he said wait a minute I need I'm can't I what did I do with what happened by last week's para he saw his noose and he went he got up and killed said if the father of the baby is a I can't be there I can't be present I'll forgive him don't worry about it said wait a minute what the himself is I'll forgive him also said the the people who are participating in the br there all kinds of people if a person hashem said everybody that goes to the bris I'll forgive him that's why it's a big to go to bris because you get you get a clean slate there was aid whose son-in-law used to live here his father-in-law law used to go used to run every day from Bris to Bristo parks. He went to every single Brit I guess he had whatever good reason. >> Yeah. That's how he that's how he typed it into the he couldn't stand people who are sinners. foreign. So this week's par is very interesting. Every year paras is in the three weeks of morning and in this week's para you have all the mayad. I'm not here. Tell them I'm not here. So this week's par you have all the it says in this for the is not only for when it was given then but it's forever and ever teaches us a lesson the same A person has to all his life from when he is born from when he was young until when he passes back to it should all be clean with a clean slate. We know people many people When they're young, they do foolish things. When they get older, they change. When he gets a little older, he wants to do on his previous when when he was younger. So, a person shouldn't think I I I did such bad things when I was younger. seek for the skym so a person will give up the always tells a person you don't stand a chance so the will tell you ah >> don't bother like at least from this moment on like the famous gives there was a there was a young girl standing and selling apples at a fruit stand and a ganov came and started started stealing apples and she started crying so the guy says to why you crying dying while he's grabbing he also grabbed was the he said about a person in the middle of ding and suddenly he realized oh I'm up to where am I like there were people that uh when they when they landed after ding the rabbi said to them where you coming from we know what it means right [Music] from now on at least from now on should and should connect to the real thing, to the good thing. That's what the means when you're young. When you're young, do what you got to do. Do the right thing. If you messed up the first time around, so now you have another chance. When you get older, it's already evening, starting to get dark. They start smelling the most proper thing to do is from beginning to end. You have to be good. Until now, he messed up. And he walked in the dark ways. There's no light there at all. Don't give up hope. You get a second chance. It's already beginning to the sun is starting to go down. You're starting to feel already. You're getting closer. As long as you're still alive will reach all the way up to. And don't think that because you didn't do it when you're young. So now you're not going to reach. We are supposed to reach because when he was younger he messed up. If he would have acted properly when he was young that would even now it's already late. You can still bring a a sacrifice to the in today's day and age. So in the olden days theor says a person did came to mdash but today we don't have md what do we do so a person should be longing and hoping to get back to those We know that when he had the dreams and he told his father the dreams of the the sun and the moon. So he said he he rebuked him. He said, "Nah, how's it going to happen? Your mother's not alive. He was hoping when is it going to happen? Hoping a person should hope and long. When will we have backdos? for. >> Oh, put on all of them. by the way by the was a famous famous still a was the the eldest of of the sadikim of that door. So the region was dancing. The original was Yamanchik and while he was dancing his garle fell down. So the who was a Zok and Mle walked over and picked up his garle. So somebody asked him hello you're the you can be his grandfather. So he said, In general inesh there are three different levels in cliim. They're 247 connected to the constantly. They don't stop for a second. all times. So they are they want to learn day and night. They learn, they teach, they keep it, they do the mitzvah properly. Why? So they were the because they learned to why because as as Leon brings when you talk and you put your hand in front of your mouth you'll feel wind coming out. So person learns is people who go to work every day like some people I know here go to work every day some go to Manhattan they wear sunglasses they shouldn't see what they're not supposed to but yeah it's it's a battle everybody that goes into the street today if you go to Manhattan you have to go to Mik afterwards this is but even you don't go to Manhattan if you go to 13th You you also have to walk with your your eyes down on the floor. So to go to work every day they're the together. It says by the Yeah. The wheels of their chariots. A wheel is called goes up and it goes down. Also is the same thing. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. They're busy 24 hours a day. Poss. They wake up in the morning. What am I doing today? They go to sleep at night. How was my day? How much money did I make today? Sometimes sometimes come to some more, some less, some come to learn a little bit. I love the people who come to shul by say, "Oh, perfect. Why is perfecting started a half hour ago?" But some people think that that's perfect. Okay, at least that much to learn a little bit. So who work for a living? They do whatever they can. So how do they come to to want to do something good? How do they come to want to learn to want to want to do to want to give? So because they do the properly they on the others that they should also want that's how they get to do something good the goes into the to the wheels. and also says when the carry. So they raise the roy the trustworthy shepherd that Hashem gave him the job of taking care of his flock. So he asked that when he passes away, Hashem should give them another shepherd who is also trust trustworthy and do the job like he did. told him told him Yeshua has which will make the wheels turn and Yeshua so that's why was like the and and Yeshua was like the like the the Levon so he didn't have the same level but alapon he had enough coak to make the wheels turn asked that he should put a person on the on the on the soil that should lead them the way it should be. Do we need coffee here? Anybody need coffee? No. Okay. Omar it's a very interesting piece said the world thinks because the generations are getting weaker and weaker. So we can have leaders who are not as great as the previous leaders. The lower we get, the weaker we become. We need greater leaders to pick up that are down in the dumps like we are. We need greater says the person who is sick. The sicker the person is you need a bigger doctor. Somebody's very sick. You need a professor. Send them regards. Send regards. of the on the same in the same on the same who is the he's the god of all the he should he should command on a a person should go out in front of them and should go in front of them. She come in front of them. He could have said it could have said what's what's the necessity. There's nowhere else to there's such an expression anywhere. should not be like a bunch of sheep without a shepherd. They should have a leader. They should have a leader that should connect to him. Page three. You should you should lead them in the right way. He should be able to elevate their spirits, elevate them when it'll be necessary. The leaders of every generation according to the generation like said before that the weaker we are, we need greater leaders. So everything's according to the door. If the dish we have the greater leaders that's why you stick to the old leaders. Yeah. >> The people are less. So in every generation according to the level of the generation, Hashem sends them sends them a leader according to the generation. You should have the ability to bring everyone up to their level where they should be. So it it can't be a human being who should who should be who should uh designate a leader for the generation because he doesn't know the knows the generation he knows the leader so he's the one that can designate that's why I said who knows everyone's everyone's uh temperament everyone's he can he can designate a leader So also so he sends every generation a leader according to what they need. You are the one who knows each and every person in every generation. You are the god of all the it's proper for you. We have if if the blood that's underneath is something fresh that you just created or it's pocket is there before and it just comes out. So we see that is it's contained. I know that through the leader of the generation he can bring them all up to their roots where they belong. That's we have to designate someone according to the level of the generation designated king for us for their own purpose. They wanted to control him. They wanted to have control over the king over the leader. >> We have Yeah. He's our we we designated him like a person will be above the should all be connected to him. He should be the like every in every generation that he encompasses all the of that generation. through him they'll be able to go up and the highest level to connect to where they belong. That's what Russia says with his beautiful lion with his clarity and his you know and understand every single person's mindset. You understand their heart. You understand? Two people are not alike. Just like the faces are not the same also their minds. Everybody has different different mindset. That's why Hashem designated a leader. He should be able to to deal with every single person according to his level according to his das and the manic should be the he should be the he should be the he should be encompass all the deos all inclusive in him. So first of all he has to remove himself from anything that has to do with So basically means everything that surrounds the kadusha just like a fruit has a clip from outside. We talk about it today. >> Yeah. Just like a a clipper. We talk about clippers all the time. Not clippers. Not the team. The Clippers. >> Clipper could be also holy. >> Huh? >> Clipper could be holy then. >> No, it's what? I heard the name. I never in my life watch a game. So uh yeah so kipa is no it surrounds it surrounds the inside the kadusha it doesn't let the kadusha come out is inside so once he removes himself he gets rid of the clippus He said something similar before also. It's actually it's actually repeat >> sorry maybe have maybe you have to say it twice which is the the significance so we have to this these are these these three weeks these three weeks so my used to sit every day we spoke about this already every day on tish of night he walked into shul with a Russian casket with a with a newer not brand new but you know new. He walked over with a knife with a with a razor. The next day by the when he was ali he said again and he took on the second side. The night of Tishabov, he sat on front of the ringes with a torn capot, put a sack over his head, tied with a garle to his uh had one on the bottom, one on top. He had a big box of ashes. He filled up his hand with ashes. Put it in. And the whole place was full of ashes. So where did they get the ashes from? They got the ashes from the matzah oven. from the mat oven and they sifted it. It became like a a gray powder and that gray powder he used all year round. He sat down a he once saw it. I was there. I was there five years. First time I saw it, it it it shook me up so badly because he started crying. Kinus his whole face was full of ashes and you saw two lines from the tears and he used to wash his hands a lot. He washed his hands and there was a whole puddle of of whole bunch of whole bunch of ashes and and mud on the floor. When it came to very hard, he put his whole face into the ashes and the next day he sat and cried from morning to night. said a whole day and cried from morning to night and he fasted she assiri one shot fasted two days 50 hours straight up one year tishab was like this year on m shabas and he fasted Sunday and Monday night I was with him I slept with him that I was with him that night and uh I wanted him to make Abdullah. You have to make Abdullah. I was pleading and try I tried everything in the world. Nothing. I said to him, "Rabbi, if you're not going to eat, I'm not going to eat either." He didn't care. You don't want to eat, don't eat. He didn't say that, but I know that he didn't care because he know it bothered him. But so I I pretended to go to go to sleep. I went to sleep. He came over to my bed. He was begging me, "Please go make Abdullah." I said, "If you're going to make Abdullah, I'll make Abdullah." But he fasted two days. And uhal during the three weeks, he also used to sit. It says in the said that during during the three weeks, he should also sit during the day approximately half hour. So approximately half hour was from the 12 till the 6 and from the 6 till the 12 it was it was 10 after so he waited until the six and then it was a half hour so it was like 50 minutes but he sat dur during the three weeks he sat during the day also and uh during the nine days anything that you gave him to eat at night which is he fasted during the day anyway but if any food that you brought him he said this giving this to human beings to eat like his mom say he was he didn't want to eat anything. The only thing that he did eat was plain bread, some water and and raw vegetables if anything. Do it in nine days was and after that he fasted two days. told me he was 17 years old. So I asked him if his also said he didn't answer me. He didn't want to say but once I I heard from a from a very big big so he used to hang around by the Reb when the Reb lived in. So he told me that he once uh once he was talking to the Reb and the Reb once told him that you know Rig and and uh and Oman didn't really get didn't see eye to eye but he wanted had he had to go to Oman so he couldn't tell his rabbi that he's going to Oman he just checked out and went to Oman came back when he walked into the room his rabbi looked at him and said ah you were there No, without saying where he was. So, yeah. Yeah. So, let's see the last piece. So once you get involved with the you find this whole family the whole that are involved with the you'll see that a person who starts going off the track all the that are off schle I say come come with us it'll be okay Don't worry about it. You'll have a good time. Yeah. So the all the all those who are trapped already of him. The way a person wants to go, Hashem leads him there.
