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.
