Oh, okay. So, the first stickle we have here. >> I'll get a cup. >> To bring a cup. So, the first uh by the way I I I just saw a very nice story. There was a wine merchant who was traveling with a load of wine to sell in Prague. He was just in Prague, correct? >> Yeah. Okay. So, he uh he was traveling with a a helper and they arrived in Arab Shabas. They found a place to stay. They packed away all the all the the barrels of wine and his helper had money. He wanted to hide the money and make sure it doesn't get stolen in Shabas. So he uh he hid it somewhere in between the barrels and he didn't realize that the Bal Hayen was watching him and sure enough the guy stole the money. He comes Mas Shabas he comes to look for his money. >> So he figured out that it must be him. There's nobody else there got to be the the bal. So he called him to the said and as soon as the guy comes in start screaming how can you be at me that I'm a GV? I'm such an honest person. Impossible. So David says 100% nobody's who says you sure you had no sh with this 100% no. So the says them very good but you have a serious problem now because the way you're claiming that probably one of the balagulas has stolen the money. So all your wine you have to sp you have you have to get rid of the wine. No, what are you talking about? It's a fortune of money. Says, well, you yourself said this. It's got to be one of them. And if they touch the wine, he started crying and screaming. No, no, no. They stole the money. I don't believe you. You're saying that you stole the money. I can't believe you. So, he made him swear in public in front of everybody. So that was his um hopefully. So these these these these days the nine days three weeks three weeks the nine days in general specifically the nine days is is very very difficult times is and I've mentioned many times my is also in the nine days in the three weeks actually mentioned it last night at that in the even in the during the three weeks you sit during the day as well. So he used to sit during the day also and cry hysterically. I mentioned that one of the previous he when he came in tish at night into the shul he walked over toes with a knife with a razor blade and He sat down on the floor with a sack over his head. Sat down without shoes and socks in front of Duresh and he started crying. So he had a big box of ashes which he used during the year as well. They took they took the uh the ashes from mat different matzah bakeries. They sifted it through and it remained like a a very gray grayish powder and he put it and the whole the whole room the whole forget about his becker and his his whole face. When he started crying, all you saw was two streams of tears running down his face in the middle of the black ashes. And um the next day, the next morning, the next morning, the next morning he when he was he took Korea on the second side on the other side also and he sat and entire crying and crying and crying. We all know that the end of 26 hours of fasting everybody runs to make Abdullah this year or make the tape to be something but he fasted 48 hours straight and after 48 hours he didn't run to eat. Interesting that the second day although he by by by uh when he sat he cried a lot but in general you saw a smile on his face. It was more like a an thing especially towards the end of the day and that's that was his life to take every day for six hours approximately sometimes it was a little shorter four hours but he sat and cried and cried and cried there was once a situation where on um there's no taking because when the days where there's no there's no taking so after after PES the first first possibility to for was afterishesh. Soish was on a shabas and Sunday was supposed to be the first day taking Sundays usually was a very difficult day because during the week he fasted every day fasted for 50 years 50 60 years and Shabas used to eat mamish exaggerated amount of food but he wouldn't go d until he had a goki until he wasn't completely clean so Sunday mornings were usually bad days but this particular Sunday morning was a very difficult day. He uh couldn't get himself to go to and it was getting late. When I say late, I mean almost so the other who were with me put a lot of pressure on him. They said reb and although normally you couldn't move him a millimeter but he gave in without saying to the next morning which is Monday the next day Monday the other were running around preparing to go back to Los Angeles and I was the only one left with him. He went into the rumor used to say and he got dressed with the he opened the door and he says to me, "You know what he did to me yesterday? Leave me alone today." So I understood that today is going to be fireworks. I stood behind the door and he was crying with such hysteria when he finished the entire thing on started again for yesterday. So that was such and saw crying for mdash. So coming live first in the parad held back from rebuking them until they kept low status. They already saw the destination once they see already that they're reaching their goal. So, it's already a situation. Okay, we're ready to accept what you say. But before that, they were always complaining because they were while they were in the midbar things were so difficult. So, they weren't ready to hear what he had to say. They couldn't pay they couldn't heed couldn't pay attention to what he had to say [Music] all the stuff. So takes a different route and he explains the entire in this short he came to teach us and the proper midas that a person needs to be connected to the nine different midas. First thing is to be like what is the same word like the med says the whole world is going one direction and we Eden we go a different direction a different a different page so that's the first medium The second person should always rebuke himself. It's better if a person takes one one heed. He really takes it seriously into his heart. It's more than getting a 100 patch. Third thing person should feel himself. He should be ming himself to that should be a a correct a person should not become an honor of when it comes to saying somebody m when it comes to say you see somebody someone doing something wrong say who am I to say I'm not I'm vanish when it comes doing the right thing. Don't become somebody's loving it. No, every person. A person should do things. the god. You see somebody even he's greater than you. He does something wrong. Speak up. Hey person one day before he dies. So the famous says how does person know when he's going to die. You don't know what you don't know when when you're going to die. So you have to do the cha today should always remember that final day every day could be it's the last day is so person should always remember the last day. When is the last day? I don't know but could be today. somebody who he always has a smile on his face. Whatever he has inside his connection to the whatever he feels shortch changing whatever he has to ch that should be in inside but from the outside the face your face should always be something that has no time it's He shouldn't pretend maybe I did something wrong without even noticing without even noticing that taking to to heart paying attention. Sometimes it's a big thing sometimes small thing. Maybe the person did something wrong and he was byem something he should have been doing. The seventh thing A person should not be jealous of anyone. Shouldn't be competition with anyone. Shouldn't be competitive. His heart should be white clean. The e the e thing that a person should reach should learn from this is not only once a week but every single day. When you come up to they're going to ask you every single day is morning and evening says a person says but that's another but person every day sometimes I when I have time I I look into a safer and I fall asleep with it. They said the Kuskarb once said they once asked him why he doesn't write a safer. He says because don't want to go to sleep with anyone. People tell open a safer. The minute you open the safer you fall asleep. A famous story with the uh with the maid the person the businessman who came home one night and he was looking for his gamora in his office. He couldn't find the gamora. Every night he learned his gamorra and he he he can't find his gamor. He's looking turning over the house. What happened? Finally they found it in the maid's room. So I asked the mate the next time why did you take my Gammorra? Says because I I couldn't fall asleep at night and I saw I see whenever you open it you fall asleep. >> So I figured it's a it's a good sleeping pill test. The ninth mid we should learn a person should not be chasing fantasies to look to to to build a empire to build more money because if you go if you're chasing the bucke there's no way that doesn't go together just like fire and water you can't mix them together so also and kadusha doesn't work together this topic What? >> It's true. Okay. >> I know. I know it's true. A person should always be satisfied with the essentials. When it comes to treasures, enough. Whatever I have is enough. Whatever he has should be satisfied. It's if he has everything in the world who's who's considered a rich person, someone who's happy with what he has and then he has time and he'll he'll take he'll take all his feelings and all his energies to [Music] No one brought so we have to drink water is yeah the next is a very interesting piece something that I um I've learned with some couple years ago we spoke about him a couple of weeks ago he was uh born he was born a genius. He made his first s mash when he was 7 years old. >> 7 years old. First s mashia. >> How old were you when you made the first mash? 70. >> Four times. >> Four times now. When was the first four times that number? >> Huh? >> Yeah. And the the godless is that he also knew it. He knew it. Not only did he learn it, he knew it cold. You see in his forum imamish he he throws beas and goas from from all over the place. I mean imamish comes from all sides. Gets from all angles. He wrote 70s for him. Unfortunately during World War II many of them got lost and burnt. But there quite a few that were left and each one is um so this pre sadic is that he said on shabas kesh and uh >> what >> it's only recent >> no like 100 years ago no less less than 100 years ago >> what more >> no before >> but his forum his got many many of them and they got lost these areas that he said in Shabas he was he Reb when his Reb passed away the wanted him to become rabbi and he said there was so there was a his friend was anger he became Reb and uh in those years that he was rebat he locked himself in he didn't talk to anybody except for his wife and his and his reb and he she wrote 70s for him in those days Yeah, his famous famous besides okay it's called a vision of this shabas begins says Let's try to understand the the the the 10 parases before before the first three are peronious and then after after so the first one is it's called army it's called I understand Okay. So, what's the why is it called? It's all about the the first three the first three are >> is a vision. So, this all these three paras are dur and >> two words. Oh yeah. The two the first two and we say in those in that generation didn't find everything was closed. Everything was locked. The the the skies were were closed. Hashem didn't give him anything. Everything was black. When the came into the they broke into the they saw the kuim were hugging each other which is on the stand. How could that be? says, "So when things were good, they were facing each other. When were bad, they looked the other way. So how can it be that when the go they were hugging each other? Obviously they were not doing destroyed. So how could it be they were hugging each other? We even know. So they were kim because there was no there was no cruium in the in the kesh koshim but on the paras on the outside paro between which was being kish kish koshim >> there was there was yeah there was the pictures of of krim and also then >> wall >> what >> was not a wall. >> Yeah there was no wall but there were two there were two uh two two villainous villainous yeah >> villain. So even there were also when they're doing this and they were facing each other and went out on the whenish was destroyed at that moment was born the concept of Mashiach. But then the nish of Mashiach the Mashia was one every generation has a ability in every generation we have someone who has the coak to be mashiach may maybe it's you >> never know I >> I once I once >> I once saw I once saw a safer seriously I once saw a safer that said that Msiah himself and a safer said that Mashia himself is not going to know that he is Mashiach until until the time comes so so it could be it's you never No, everyone thought that their mashmo who maybe thinks he's Mashiach. >> Cool. >> What? Okay. It says right after that says talking about which is going to be destroyed and right after that it says the branch will come out from who's going to be Msiah The four which were being goalless by them. Before Hashem sent the goyam to destroy the mikdash, they were talking of sinning they didn't think they didn't believe the will be destroyed when they saw that the go actually breaking into the md was too late. too late. Said to them, "Why did you wake up now? There was so much you could have done before." So because once they saw the goim going into the and the concept of Mashiah was born of Mashia was born. and everything. That's why they were hugging each other because could have been revealed at that moment. At that moment was born. Just like in this physical world, the nephesh of Messiah was born. That's the two on together. Listen very good to these. Listen clearly to these words. Every single year is born. In every generation there is a there's a goof that can become Msiah we see the of se several different the different names everyone thought that their is Msiah like you think theu is Msiah no >> nine Okay. But the many think that was Yeah. Everyone said that he is the one that can possibly be Mashiach after your children. Children will have the young ones young will see visions. They will see things, spiritual things without iawaska. They will see without drugs. They'll see it really live. They're not going to need drugs. We know speaks about it many times. He said that the shabas before the week that Shabas is inclusive of all the kadushes that will come out come down that week. of Shabas has all the times of the entire week. We say it in Shabasian all the entire week are dependent on Shabas. and every that happens during the week. So the Shabas brings down old from the attack for the same for the same reason. Why did I mention before which will happen during the week happens on Shabas. So also this particular shabas means visions. It means so this shabas has it's a shab before right on Sunday. So this shabas has the coak of the and also has the coak of mashiach. The bad things that happened this week is not included in shabas only the holy. So only the good things that will happen the following week are manifest in the in the particular shabas. The youth, the young will see visions of Mashiache. Wow. >> So yesterday in the um in the year, you missed it. You were in Florida. There was a very uh very important sh last night, the dying gashia on the pertain to tishab. >> It's recorded for everyone wants to know. >> It's recorded. Who wants to hear it? It's >> on the new secret. That's new. >> It's important. Good to refresh your memory. >> Yeah. Yeah, it's good to refresh your memory. You want me to refresh your memory? Okay. So, I I uh I disagree with one of the things he said, not me, but I saw in the forum. He said that you're not supposed to learn to shab Mr. Brewer talks about it. But I saw the real brings many different many different opinions as as he usually does. And he says that I think he says the learn said this afternoon and the vision at M in said that the bookish no problem. So I disagree with the the dian forgive me. Yeah, but says one way but a man. >> Yeah. >> Obviously, whatever. >> Yeah. Listen, I I I don't see anybody in this in our community for sure that can sit the whole Shabas afternoon and learn Eve. >> No. >> Impossible. He can commit suicide. >> He commit suicide. >> Yeah. But listen, so everybody should do according to what their dying said, what their roof said. >> What everyone's not learning at all. >> Somebody wants to learn to learn. >> What? >> Yeah. Sorry. To learn. Yeah. That that should be our biggest. >> So also you have to stop eating be by uh you want to read quick recap. You have to start eat you have to stop eating by you can't do any until Shabas. You can't do anything that's related to you can't put on your sneakers until after after this. And those who keep in Tom Shabas like most of the people here in our community you can't put on your sneakers. You can prepare the sneakers. You can't be prepared with the and after after you say and then you can put on your sneakers and go to there's a there's a little uh there's a little break between and and for for many reasons. First of all, we have to have to switch around the the shabas chairs to >> see the is shabas. There's no ashes. There's no there's no egg. Even even >> yeah you can eat noish you can sit and eat >> you have to stop nothing nothing nothing nothing no egg no availance in shabas >> right but I'm saying even before the whole >> no but it's interesting it's a big part of it's everything get in with all things no shabas What else did he say? >> Oh, so so dur so during the nine days it says in those of course those who follow as we spoke about before you you cannot wash or bathe during the nine days. Person who goes to mikvah every single day is allowed to go to mikvah. You he can't take a shower afterwards. That's and that's But yeah, but uh on Friday on Friday said she can't take a a full shower only lukewarm but he said because we all suffer from from I didn't take a shower all nine days. I smell No, >> at least not through the camera. >> At least not through the camera, right? You sitting close enough. Kim, but on on Friday, you can take um take a shower. Shouldn't you shouldn't have boiling water. I don't know if some reason the mikvah over here this the nine days was boiling hot. Shouldn't be boiling hot. Should not be boiling hot. So if if if the the people who are in charge here are so it should should have been lukewarm. Forgive me if I u said what I said anyway. So let's go to the next piece. So he mentioned last night also the medish says that with the He said [Music] the same words, same letters what what is the remedy that said to other so the is telling us where are you where are you I'm looking for you is looking for us can you please turn off the ringers the said to us he's looking for us and said where are you looking for us constantly. There's a says, "I found my Hashem will finally find us and he'll rejoice with us through the fact that we're looking for him. We're looking where can we praise Hashem?" So, is also going to look for us and he's looking for us and he'll find us. He'll find us. We're going to say says tell us about that. We say every day in that says that person speaks because the says about the bomb you should speak only turn off your ringer man for the third time. These are the words Hashem Not you. The guy behind you. These are the words spoke on his own. So normally he spoke never spoke. He spoke only what told him to say. Says, "How old was he when he left?" He was 18 or 20 when he ran away when P tried to kill him. When he came back to Mitsim, he was 80 years old. What happened in the meantime? Anybody know? >> He went to the African country and helped them take over the kingdom. >> Right. Good. Very good. >> Circle magazine. >> It's a medish. >> 40 years. 40 years. 40 years. 40th. >> 18 to 80. >> So 40 years he was on his way and it was a melonus was his name. >> He was he was there was a revolt. He went out he went out to war. He went out to war and he he he came came back this this town and they couldn't get him in couldn't get in. They they they revolted against him and there was a there was a >> a coup. >> The kids who tried to get back in so they they surrounded they had different different ways of surrounding the uh the town from all three sides and one of the sides was snakes poisonous snakes that he couldn't get in from anywhere. came and said, "Guys, I have I have an idea. Go out and and uh and and capture uh what do they call these these these big birds?" Uh with a long beak. Huh? Hawks. >> Stalks. Stalks. Stors. Yeah. Stors. So, everyone could capture stors and bring them back. They captured stors and they said, "Don't feed them for two days." And they were starving. They were screaming for food. And after two days, she said, "Okay, let's release him." And they dived down on the snakes. They destroyed the snakes and they conquered the city. And of course, they they they took back the uh the kingdom. So they saw that Mosha is such a smart man, such a brilliant man that they decided that he should become the king and he became king in Africa for 40 >> for 40 years. And they gave him they g they told him that they gave him the the the uh the king who got who was killed. They gave him the queen to marry. So Moshin officially he married her. But said he had no shas with her. So after 40 years she came and she said listen guys this is the truth. He never never got close to me and I have a son. I want him to become king. So they they didn't throw him out. They gave him gifts and matonis and whatever and he left. So he went to to Midian. When he arrived to Midian he helped he helped because the the shepherds tried to attack her. So he helped her and she came home so early. So the same story by by Elazar. >> Yeah. The mitzv is he said an Egyptian guy. So I said why don't you bring him bring him in? Let's let's hear let's see maybe he's a good for one for one one of my daughters here but so uh he heard he heard what happened that he was uh he killed somebody with Hashem from I'm afraid he killed somebody in Egypt and par tried to kill him so I said ah the guy's a criminal he threw him into a dungeon threw him into prison he was in prison for 10 years >> mob was in prison for 10 years by by Israel >> yes Andra used to feed him. >> She she she brought him food in secret. Every day she brought him food. And after 10 years, she said to her father, "Let's see what's going on with this this this mitry that they this Egyptian that we threw into said, what are you talking about? The guy's dead. He's been dead a long time ago." Said, "Let's check. Maybe you never know." Of course, they came and they arrived. They see that he's he's alive in Gizark. So he realized that he's kadesh a holy man. So he said good for my daughter. That's what he married finally when so he was his shepherd for many years and then Hashem revealed himself bas in the burning bush as they say in French and he told him take out Eden from he never knew the story. Huh was >> what? I knew that he was a king, but I didn't know that he was there for 10 years. >> Amazing. He went from the pits to the heights. He was almost a king over there. That other country, >> right, to the pits >> back to the pits and he went to the river. That's the whole >> He started off he started off he started off in the river. He started off in the river. >> The river that's to the pits. >> Yeah. And and he became he became >> he became No. Wasn't because he became king. He was he was the base the base parid. Yeah. >> Then they tried to kill him, >> right? And then >> he must have learned the bivies with then he became king. He said he became king for 40 years. >> 40 years into the dungeon >> and I never heard 10 years >> 10 years. >> So it's like up and down. >> And my never told me the story but yeah. >> So where does it this old? >> Yeah. >> Sure. Did you tell it to me in the foundation? >> It's not fair. It's not fair. It's more interesting for him. By the way, >> they didn't know the secret didn't know that he was he was a reb he told the kids a story. We went to the wrong school. >> Yeah. >> No free advertisement. Okay. So, let's go back. I think 1 2 3 four five six seven seventh line was 80 years old. He was king in Kush in Africa many years. So, how can you say that he never spoke? He was king. How does this not speak? Only spoke to who? Over there. This is the secret that I'm going to reveal to you. They'll speak to you mundane things, but they're connected to the He told him all kinds of stories, but the stories were only a cover for what he was connected to. That's what says How is it possible that never spoke one extra word? Spoke but when he spoke he was connected to a higher level. Anybody have the time what happened to Huh? >> Really? Wow. >> It's up. >> Should we go? He says we can say that Shabas this coming Shab is the holiest Shabas of the entire year. more than keeping more than everything because like the says the Shabas becomes greater and greater the deeper we go into the and the biggest is now. So this great this Shabas is the greatest Shabas of the year. We know that every is the biggest rot is the biggest that's why think the highest and the holiest I once saw interesting but why why is it When was the world created? When was the first moment of creation? So when was right before that? So right before so that's why it's called huh >> he he had a to create the world. So that was before. So that's why Everything was degraded. Was never was never blemished. The only thing that was left remained intact. needed. So disaster reveals itself of everything loves says that is ofd it says s brings it many times that Every shul has a bdash and wherever aided is in you can connect to mdash. The ones who love Hashem are waiting for the So therefore this year. Amen.
