But that place way back in way back in the day lived in he was very very poor was struggling to eat put food on the table and put bread on the table food talk about dips talking about bread. So he went down to the sea and there was a basian was buried invas and he said he said the whole tim and that night the basion came to him in his dream and he said to him I very happy that you came to I gave it to Davin but why didn't you give a suda he to give a suda so he he woke up and he was like shaken up and he uh he gathered whatever whatever food he was able to gather made a suda for 10 people and that same day he bought a lottery ticket and one big big money and for that money he created a fund in yeshiva base of the mal and that was designated only for one purpose but use of the basan to give a and says maz they have from that fund which they give a suda every year on the so the is this coming Tuesday and I'm sponsoring a suda upstairs so everybody's welcome to come to participate in the suda basian whoever needs Yeshua Bas will take care of us >> Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday so somebody needs somebody needs children somebody needs whatever it may be so this week's para is the famous story of everybody knows the story Jakov as it was running from from his brother Asov who wanted to kill him and Alifah's uh the son of the son of Asov attacked him on the way and he said my father commanded me to kill you and he said this take everything I have and on his way the son the sun sun went down before its time and he went to sleep he took 12 stones and put it around his head and they all became one stone they melted into one stone of he had a dream that there was a tall ladder going from the said from from going up and came down but so a whole to do so the balator who was a rich son of the rash brings very all over the balator is the mias of the arbakke of so on to I once heard that when the night of his engagement I think he was 17 years old this is what I heard I never saw it printed but this is what I heard that he he that that night he wrote the bal and he gave it a gift to his mut this is his f his his future father-in-law but there's like incredible A couple of things this week is very interest that becomes like a ladder. So you see that bringonus it's like everybody that has so becomes complete with all its wrongs. poorness. Makes somebody rich and put somebody down in the mouths of they want to be mut was standing on the ground. somebody person is down completely down and out just a temporary thing. So don't give up. If a person is down no matter every situation is don't give up because in one second you go back up. So Jacob woke up from his dream and he said, When a person with minion listens to his basically you're wasting your time right also an interesting gamatria we know the gummor famous says this part as you give meer a person he said whatever you'll give me I'll give you myer so the gmorrah says that if a person so m usually is is 10% but if you're going to want to be you want to be large as they say not more than not more than 20%. Exactly. >> No. No. What you're wasting. You want to You want to be You want to be large. You want to waste more. >> 10 is wasting. >> The regular person. >> Yeah. >> Someone's super wealthy. They can give you another 50% whatever. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. trillionaire doesn't have to make the worse. >> Yeah. But unfortunately, the more they have, the more they have. >> Let's have a conversation. [laughter] >> We'll worry about it then. [snorts] >> This next piece of Bakai last week, you also had a piece of he was close to 900 years ago. [snorts] very famous, very interesting. I want food to eat and clothing to wear. [clears throat] This is what the sadikim asked from. I want only give me food to eat, give me clothing to wear. I don't need more than that. Just it's exactly what I need. They're not asking for extras. Only the essentials. A person can't live without food. A person can walk around without clothing. So the basics that's what the was asking for when a person asked for extra for more. I have a friend who um when he started off in business he he didn't want to be a millionaire. He wanted to be a billionaire. He started off as a billionaire. Was once with him by by by Shalam. He said I want to be a billionaire. He started laughing. He said the millions the billions. What's up with you? When a person goes for the extras, he wants more and more. in his life. As as the mission says, therefore, be happy with what you have. He should be satisfied with the little bit that he has. Don't don't ask for extras. Should be happy with your shim. It's better to have a little bit with rather than having great wealth, but it's gonna it's going to mess you up. And he brings to the next is better to eat a meal of vegetables but with love compassion rather than having cowboy steaks but eating with a bunch of friends who don't like you. It's better to have a little bit, but you're sitting with most amongst friends who like you rather than having a full plate, a full table with all the good all the goodies, but around there they don't really like you. [clears throat] And that's a muscle brings his muscle for a person to be happy with what he has. aspires with this topic. The person should be be satisfied with the little bit that he has. And rather than having a lot of money, but he didn't earn it legally, we seemed from the said that he should have his needs. He said is poorness. I don't want to be poor. I don't want to be rich. Give me my food, my my needs, what I need. I don't need extra. Give me what I need. It's the biggest in the world. By the way, a person who has what he needs and he's happy with what he has is the happiest person in the world. Because a person is looking for more and more and more. No matter how much he has he wants more and more to being poor to be rich very rich when a person is too poor it'll bring him to bring him to be when he's very rich same thing if a person is very poor you'll have to everybody have to suck onto a person who is poor is always begging and that brings him to Yeah. And if a person is very rich always want more more and more and more and what happens through that Because we see it for a fact. Somebody who's rich, most of the people, there are very few cases people are not that way. But most of the people in the world wants them, the more money they have, the more they despises somebody who said, "I don't want to be poor. I don't want to be rich. Give me my needs. Give me my food. whatever I need. You should know if not for the fact that a person has the from the moment that he's born when he's young. If not for the fact that a person is born with a ty to have more and more and have what everybody else has, he wouldn't ask anything. He'd be happy with what he has because the the essential needs that a person has in this world, food, clothing, the basics gives every single human being in this world his daily needs. 40 40 years. Every single day a person got what he could eat for that day. If he took more, he didn't have more. Everybody had what they needed for the day. If he took more, it it got rotten. If he took less, he also had more. The whole has a whole about that. We'll get some other time. We'll get to it. You couldn't refrigerate it. You couldn't take you couldn't put it away for tomorrow. Even one day to the next. Didn't work. Why? Because Hashem wanted to teach them for 40 years in the midb. You should know that I take care of you every single day. Don't worry for tomorrow. is and because they had gave them their food, their daily needs, whatever they needed gives food, sustained sustenance to each bria in the world. even the little ants and even the biggest dinosaurs. All his creatures. We see the way the world runs the world. Some very deep and wonderful. gives every single human being his essential needs. [clears throat] Very interesting concept. He says, "You'll see that the things that people need most, you'll have most. People that need less, you don't have in the world." He explains precious stones, pearls. It's there aren't so many. You don't see them in the streets. You don't find it in the grocery because it's not it's not essential. So diamonds and precious stones and stuff like that is su but very little. That's why it's worth that's why it's people pay so much money for it. Huh. Rare. >> It's rare. It's not something that you must have survival. >> Yeah. You don't need for survival. You can live without it. But food which a person needs more than precious precious stones. That's why they have food more than precious stones. You found you find food in every street every marketplace. You're not going to find you walk into the marketplace. You want to grocery even in pomegranate. You're not going to find diamonds. Water is more essential than food. A person's hungry. You can go two or three days without food. They asked the guys who were packed captive in in Gaza. They they the mamish they they got food but is thirsty. thirst. You can't you can't you can't you can't you can't go without. That's why there's more water than food. You'll find it anywhere in the world. >> Huh? >> 70% of the world, >> right? 70 and 80% of the body is water. >> Even even uh even when you travel, wherever you go, you'll find water. I I I think I once repeated the story. They was once someone told him that in in Williamsburg the pup mikvah is a Mayan. So well well it's spring comes up from the ground. The at that point the mikvah wasn't complete yet but the bor was done. The reb go to mikvah over there because a Mayan is most only a come towards go to mikish doesn't make a difference. So Mrs. Schwarz shares or first his wife stayed by by by their house she used to prepare all kinds of health juices stayed and took so give him give him a little energy. So as we got into the car, she sent along a thing of juice. I was sitting behind the reb. The driver was driving. I think uncle Klein, my friend, the uncle Klein, MJ was sitting next to me. He was the husband. And as we're driving, I I told the Reb a few times. Pay attention. We're driving on the Bell Parkway bridge driving 60 miles an hour. Suddenly the Reb said stop. Stops the car. Reb opens the door. There's a hub cap full of water. He washes his hands. Takes the drink to drink. He don't want to drink without without washing his hands first. But middle of driving 60 miles an hour >> right in front of his right. Obviously was a hub cap and it rained and the hubcap was full of water. as he opened the door. >> A hub cap is >> what? >> What? >> You don't know what a hub cap is? >> Oh, you know what a hub cap is? >> Used to be a plastic >> in the olden days was metal. >> Yeah. So the the tires used to have >> the center one the big one probably didn't hold water. >> It looked like a bowlki. Yes. The police cars had to send their own. >> We'll show you. We'll show you the picture. >> Whatever. >> Wash his hands. >> So they wash his hands and made a but imagine driving 60 m says pull over. Pulls over and opens the door right in front of right in front of the door. He didn't didn't even get out of the car. Got out in front of washed his hands instead of shock. >> It was on the way to the pup mikvah. >> On the way to Williamsburg. on the >> past on the bell parkway. Okay. >> Pass the Verzo bridge. >> So you see water even even on the bell pathway and without air you can't live. If you're thirsty you can wait a little bit. Good evening. You can you can pass on oh pass P pass P pass P pass P pass P pass P pass P pass P pass P pass P passover but without air without air last a minute two minutes somebody puts a thing over your face you're done there isn't a single place in the world where there's no air even there there's also The essential needs of a human being prepared for the for mankind the essential needs. That's why I need the essentials. be a little bish. Some people eat sourdough, but not everybody does. Some people live on regular color. Some people live on regular rye bread. But the is the most important and all the others, all the other things, all the other essentials. So he asked for the basics, but didn't ask for extras. says by hand we see that the toy despises the extras the luxuries that person doesn't really need even a king theory says you shouldn't have luxuries that's what the says take it That's what said. I don't want to be poor. I don't want to be rich. Give me my essential needs. So imagine he had a dream. He sees he sees and he gets up and imagine if we had such a dream. Wow. You know what I dreamt last night? Wow. I saw you standing where >> can you imagine if you you woke up tomorrow morning you say >> I don't even know >> yeah you come you would come to chill next day with such a big smile on your face you know what I saw last night but A person would have a human being would have such a because of this he had because that he because he realized that this is the moes and That sitter that sitter created tell us showed him at that point built and destroyed through this he had that created mdashim knows The only way will exist is through the more and when it got to the point where we lost the we lost So it's a it has it lasts forever. If a person has so no matter where he is, it opens up for him. [clears throat] What time is it? Oh, we can go. Pass him. Passover. Pass him. >> Huh? >> We have plenty. [snorts] >> [clears throat] >> thinks normally would say on this we learn that he had there's What is have to do with what's what's the connection according to a person's real willpower even here in Seagate even here right now a person has emissen to connect to the isal. This is Bikdash. So brings many places that every every place we don't talk by ding because then the whole place. He wanted to get to Haria the mod where where his grandfather brought his father for ao although was very far from where he landed came towards him when a person is in darkness. So when a person is in darkness, he doesn't doesn't get it doesn't it doesn't have a a drop of light coming towards him. If a person has to get to the light all depends in our ros and our willpower. So even a person can become caught in a second. Sometimes a person hashem will put a person in a mat of merc of darkness night. He doesn't see he doesn't he doesn't feel doesn't feel but the tackles of that is to bring him closer to sometimes and it wakes you up. So that flick that wakes you up, the purpose of the flick was to get you closer. When a person has a problem, a person has a Torah in his life, no matter what it is, every Torah, it's not something bad that's happening to you. It's something good. The purpose is Hashem is calling you. wants us closer because through the a person has at the moment he wants he he wants to aspire to something better something greater >> what yeah he doesn't do flick for no reason for a reason but the flick is to bring you closer it's not to push you is even in the distant place, even in the darkness, person has the ability to to bring to bring the light in says to teach you that's to teach us every should learn from this should Oh, if you really want, so even if you're in the darkest place in your life, uh of light can darkness. >> Yeah. You bring a match into the darkest room. Huh? >> My good my good friend. [laughter] >> A little bit of light. >> Shake away chases away heap of darkness. something like that. >> Huh? [clears throat] >> The darker it is, the more tiny light. >> Yeah. You go into a pitch black room, you light a tiny match. You know the ones they used to the books, the little booklets. Suddenly you you wait a couple of seconds and you see what would you It's unbelievable. A little tiny tiny light. So much but it is the same as and then he came back. How could it be that I passed by the place where my my my forefathers and I'm not going to there. So he went back. Why did he go back? Why did not stop there? So first of all he had a his father told him go to so he went there guy and as he got there he said hello I can't I passed by now we can go back. So he went back to >> he turned. So imagine if the Roman had feet and said the the the sun sun went under before it's time and that and that that space was saved for later on when Yeshua needed extra time by by nois by the way lost his he lost his father when he was 9 years old and he huh >> his his grandfather was lost 13 children in his lifetime. The last one that passed away was the father of the what was his >> huh? >> What was his name? >> He didn't was for from his children. >> But um when his when when the father passed away he started crying came from the wife was crying. So the reb said to him, "Hello, good morning. What happened until now?" He said, "You don't understand why I'm crying. I'm crying because until now I had the mitzvah of So his father his father passed away when he was 9 years old and he continued he grew up by his grandfather passed away. He got married when he was like some of us. I was 18. >> You're getting married this year Tuesday. I'll make you a deal, but we'll talk about it later. >> Gave m accept the deal. He got it. >> How do you know what the deal was? [laughter] >> Anyway, um So his family got married when he was 15. His grandfather passed away when he was 17 and the wanted him to become rebid. So he traveled with with his grandfather Alexander when he passed away. I think he was 25 at the time already. At that point he had had no choice and his reb for many years and uh at one point they were they were copying the bim into the Russian army Polish army. It was war then and he mames broke him to pieces. He got sick from it and he passed away young. his 50s. >> Oh, this was his name. >> He was in his from from the age of 25 till 50 I think 57 maybe something like that. He said every year there was a that he said and it's interesting that he he used to write it for himself to remember and many times you see in he says I don't remember because sometimes Monday Tuesday and then then he wanted a right and some places says I don't remember exactly but they weren't prepared like we're preparing here and then whatever came down that's what he said. So afterwards he wanted to write down so he remember what he said in Shabas a person who is and many many say but he gets an inheritance no boundaries infinite. I will feed you the inheritance of which is what? Yeah. [laughter] Hashem folded the entire under his head. We spoke about it before the beginning of the year before we started this year. He was to fall asleep in that place. said to him, "I'll give you this land to you and your children forever." Shem said to him, "I'll give it to you and to your children." So every single every single one of us has of that mat. What's that mat? I have a beautiful gift in my treasures. It's hidden in my treasures. It's called Shabas. tell my that I have this beautiful gift for them that no one should go out of his boundaries every gets his when a person goes into he doesn't come in the middle of he comes the beginning of ding Some people don't that this is so so precious. So a person gets his that's what we say by and everyone gets extra that happens over there. That's why there's wherever you are on Shabas you and you have a pime from all sides around the town where you are. Yeah. What if a person has a situation his reb is coming to beyond the 2,000. So he has to be at the end of the shabasa there and then he can go from there another 2,000 but he can't go the other ways. That's the Yeah. So we see that a person has a ability wherever you are. That's what his grandfather said towards him. So a person also gets this gift of his which is and it comes and connects with him. Yeah. >> Then we get another. So, by the way, it says it says from I don't I don't know, but I'm just telling you it says that's by you should be standing because that's when you get another >> it starts by >> Yeah. We'll get into it. >> But by you notice because that's the biggest of that's the that's the and that's the the highest that's the the highest highest time. Huh? Is next level that's the shabas people don't say this is the different yeah but every sits by the comes to be with him unfortunately some people that this is we have the opportunity to sit with the Shabas in that >> huh >> everything he says go through the words >> and some people don't understand. They don't disgusting. >> I saw I saw >> Please. >> Don't ask me. I'm not going to answer you the truth. >> I think it's disgusting. Mahima. You ever seen the Israelis said [laughter] until the pile is this big? That's when they stopped. Huh? >> We had so many to see where he walked. There was a trail of Thank God we don't know who it is. The more we long and we desire to connect to this, [clears throat] that's how that's how we get to connect. What's food? What is food? Food is sustenance. When we eat food, it turns into blood. And that what we live, we live on the blood. Yeah. Will feed you that we got from becomes part of us. Comes out part of our blood. The inheritance we should have. We should want to connect this become a flowing well and then we have it has it has an extension to the entire week and then the next >> 25 we have time. >> Okay. who was the of the he was a son of it's known the gifts of Allah [clears throat] says there of and cloudy is the malus. So I once saw many years ago that says that that giving giving a prit is da is >> how the fruit is a yud. Your hand is a hay. This is above putting into the the hand of the is another huh >> I work for the credit card it's the point through this. So what do we do? We're connecting. Yeah. So how do you connect? When a person does a a mitzvah down here, it's called it's it's an arousal from down here. And what happens in that case, to us, not only for this person personally, but for Gansvelt, for all the worlds. We learn at the beginning of something that is it's earthly seems like guilt. Guilt is blott. So money is like money when he touched money by by so he didn't have his own money but he always asked somebody to he put it into the pishka he went he washed his hands he touched money butto then he went to wash his hands So seems to be earthly. [clears throat] >> Every has his How do you know he didn't wash his hands afterwards? >> Eventually, I'm sure. >> Yeah, he didn't. He didn't. I'm I'm sure the Reb didn't have money put away in the bank. [snorts] But the sees that has such a that through the through the mitzvah that we did here. It creates we have to we have to talk. >> We're here to deal. >> Is it public deal or it's private deal? >> Private.
