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
