know who um you know we'll ask next week
okay we'll ask next week okay okay yeah
so okay uh so now we're learning I'm
going on mute now we're are learning all
of us
um we are you are three right here at
this moment you're
three or you're
more Briana is here Miriam is here
Brenda is
here yes that's a couple of people wrote
to me that they can't come but they
wouldn't mind hearing a a recording so
now it's being
recorded okay no problem no problem okay
the first thing that I wanted to talk
about which is uh very much something
connected
with uh Z mat is uh and it's connected
with the three weeks and it's connected
with everything I am sometimes surprised
by the lack of understanding uh people
are analyzing the sources of
anti-Semitism nowadays
and uh why is it happening and how could
we have done it better and worse and
everything so I remember that I once
read a very good article called a
history of Jewish
history a history of Jewish
history and I won't read I will not read
you the whole article but a few points
which are making things clear hash wise
a historian whether he's honest
or he understands very well or or
whatever is always Limited in his
vision by the society that he in in
other
words the
the way Jewish history is is totally the
opposite I'll
explain usually the the beginning of a
nation is a human
concentration of
people and a community of ways of living
of ideals of reflexes etc etc then a
culture appears and a human society is
created and the events of that Society
defin are defining its
history that's it that history is making
the people okay in the Jewish
conception the Jewish history begins
much much
earlier than what we think it precedes
history it's not that history makes the
people
but the Jewish conception is such that
the Jewish history the history of am
Israel precedes
history and
what will help us a lot is understanding
the famous ran
in that speaks
about we usually understand the Deeds of
the fathers
are something that happens later to the
children as you know abah ainu had to go
to Egypt because there was a fine and
there four that's where it is
in and
then will go later on to Egypt the
brothers of YF because of a famine and
from there will happen all what
happened
now this is the sh of
M you stop me as soon as you don't
understand I'm trying to say difficult
things which are very important to
clarify once
now it's much
deeper the aot and when I say the aot
later on it as well the
but mostly the
a they elaborated they traced they fixed
they ACC
accomplished history till the end of
times what they did is what's going to
happen till the end of time meaning
meaning through what their aod was
through their missus through all their
tests they will lead the people to have
to be met what they succeeding and what
they didn't succeed in other
words
said we know how will I know that I will
inherit the land and he says this before
cfet before perfet which Isa at the time
of 100 times more now even though the
answer is it's not that had a real suff
real doubt if we look at Rashi
parenthesis this is a parenthesis the
parenthesis is that Rashi says what did
the I know that I
will that I will inherit or that my
descendants will
inherit Rashi answers the answer is
andem told
him and it's seems that it has nothing
to do with each
other How will I know that I inherit
because there are what the answer it's
not that he didn't have faith it's not
that he didn't have
a but he had a fear that's the meaning
of the deep Rashi had a fear that we
won't be on the level so Hashem tells
him you know Corban are an
eraser Corban are a
for and therefore since hash is always
giving a chance for chuva and for and
for Corban Etc this will make that the
Brit which is unconditional between
hasham and us will always be at a point
that of return it will never be at the
point of no return breit is
unconditional this
is but this was a parenthesis that you
should know once for all with it at the
same time the Forin do say that there
was a one per Mill per thousand not a
one not a one per 100 a one per thousand
of a question mark with everything and
this led to the 400 years of slavery in
Egypt Abu asking the question even if he
has 100% am but perhaps not even not
having enough in himself we're back to
the like we are back at Adam were bet at
always the thing this led to the 400
years in Egypt whatever it's 400 or it's
86 or it's like we spoke about whatever
it is in other words it's so fascinating
that if he wouldn't have said
it perhaps we wouldn't have had to go to
Egypt perhaps meaning that his nission
was so Stark that it had to be
uh fixed a little bit by 400 years of
slavery or 86 years of very difficult
slavery
okay in it's it's equivalent to 400
years of persecution than all the
midashim that we have and etc etc okay
the tortures of the Exile is less than
the
of I go to another thing the same thing
again so when we say you know it's
because of course all the other things
that we say are right as well for
example that vishu they became too
famous one saw them too much I always
tell the story that I was in New York on
a Friday night in one of the big streets
perhaps for Ocean Park where or
something and there was a family that
lived on less than the first floor
meaning one could see from the street
because the the curtains were half
transparent and there was a chandelier
which was unbelievable like in a in a
theater Crystal and everything and they
were they were a
Pim the chabat from Silver huge like
from a sh Etc and there and it sounded
fantastic Etc and there was a black man
outside I wouldn't have wanted to be
alone in the street with him huge and
fat and big and frightening and he put
his fist and he said I'll get them all
and I'll Kill Them All
and this reminds me of the famous
Clay on the beginning of dorim dorim
says that b is you know it's a
repetition of the Torah but of course
it's not a repetition that we we will
have to go towards north made us go
through all kinds of ways that we
shouldn't go back to
Egypt safona go towards the North and
safon means as well hidden you know in
the and there the the mees says the CER
says in his time already that it's not
good for the Jews to be it's not good
for the Jews to be to show themselves
too much and to show their success too
much does it means that there a reason
for anti-Semitism our our sh today says
that no but it adds to it of course it's
not good it's adding to it very big
rabbis sometimes don't agree with Jews
in Exile we are all in Exile showing
themselves up on on on on shabas you
know with the and with 10 10 10 12 kids
following them and everything it takes
the eyes of people out but it's not the
reason I'll give you another mid I'll
read you another mid in mid RAB
and RAB
shim in the name of RAB
May after his dream of the or during the
dream of the letter he showed them the S
you remember the the the the spiritual
force of like with esav and yob of B
going up and
down poras going up and down yavan going
up and down and Edom going up and down
and then he said to yakob now you go up
don't worry you won't go down and yakob
got very afraid people don't know that
part of the midash yob got very afraid
and he didn't want to go up and Hashem
said don't worry if you go up you won't
go
down andov did not go up he was too
afraid to not be on the level and to go
down so Hashem said I told you not to be
afraid you refused to go up you know
what if you would have believed me you
would not have had to be afraid of
anything and your children would not
have had the for
galot now again there will be other
places that will say different reasons
but every midash has something about it
you
know in other words the the test of the
aot were historical tests that will they
were pioneers of the H of History you
understand that's what I'm trying to say
it's
fascinating
and
uh in other words I have to add in the
name of ram from the Mir that
the has a beautiful chapter on
it when we say thatu had a one per Mill
of sop and that Yakov didn't have the
courage to go up we're not talking on
our level we can't even understand we
can't even imagine what it's all about
it's with a
magnifying uh mirror of of one per
10,000 because but but it's important
for the h of History it's like the
difference between if one of my eyebrows
is higher than the other one I won't be
Miss America but nothing works but if a
chromosome is not perfect then it's much
more dangerous in other words we're
talking about the others we're not
talking about ourselves okay and the
same time what he tries what what this
the one that wrote the article is trying
to explain is that the the the overs and
when I say the others it could be later
it could be yourself it could be the
tribe whatever are writing history of
their
descendants and not and not it's because
today B Natan said AO and the one of
America said AO and Al should be Trump
and not be Biden because we have no idea
what each one will say etc
etc I'll give you examples positive way
it's because and it's again a med it's
because gave bread to the angels who
whom he thought were Arabs that came to
Nomads that came to
visit that's why gave them money in the
desert because he gave them meat that's
why we got a
slav because he re accompanied them when
they left we got the anav that accompany
us through the desert because at the
time of the ARA he cut the wood he
separated the wood make you know a place
where the fire will consume so it cut so
that's why we
have cutting the
sea unbelievable unbelievable okay
so all those test are enriching the
Jewish history for the difficulty and
for the good and not all the things that
we see it's very very interesting the
whole thing I'll give you one more which
is unbelievable it's vman the whole week
I'm on things who said that he wants to
understand the blood
lials it gets crazy why Blood lies how
can the whole world believe such toyot a
few years ago in suria they made films
bluffed films you know fake news but
films what you see is different than
what than what you
hear the blood liers don't make sense
because you don't make bread or Mattis
with blood you make it with water number
two the whole world knows that for
us uh blood is not Kosher of anything so
a Christian Child the blood of a dead
it's it doesn't make sense he
says it began
from because because the Brothers of ysf
dipped the
konet the konet Pim the beautiful konet
which he had gotten from his father they
dipped it in blood can you imagine now I
couldn't have said it nobody and it's
only a suggestion but
it's who forw who went back to die with
his people etc etc who
wrote okay so this in very very short
because we don't have five hours a week
I could elaborate it much more is a key
to understand that what we think we
understand of History we don't
understand and it is well a that things
can change from one moment to the next
all the them see remember the evening
where Iran sent a million crazy things
and and nothing happened rabit sadok by
just fasting and doing Chua pushed away
one man pushed away theban bet mikdash
which was sealed already by 40 years
because he fasted for 40 years on an off
etc etc can you imagine so this is one
thing that I wanted and from there I
want to go to one more point which is as
well uh something very very interesting
uh can I just ask you something yes does
that mean that for like that the others
or the the tan whatever you know whoever
you were talking about now that that
made our history
that our history could be changed by us
even though they made
it yes but not totally changed not
cosmologically changed but it can be
changed on a on a small level very much
just we are not the others you know the
difference between a
a a crumb of a diamond and and a 10
karat diamond you understand what I'm
saying that the overs but yes yes
absolutely and we see we see that when
there are people that are fixing things
when you conquer yourself you can do
unbelievable things the power of what
was it I think
it's uh asking why
did
uh speaks about Moshe and Aaron hello
everybody for those that came later the
the the speaking about moson andam did
not enter
Isel because they spoke to the
Rock and in the case of Miram it's a
continuation of speaking to the rock of
not speaking about hitting the rock of
speaking about Moshe RAB a little bit
and he says that they didn't get the
message of the power of
speech look what the if they would have
spoken to the Rock arm Israel would have
learned from it that speaking is so
powerful that it changes the rock into
water can you imagine and immediately
after Miriam should have understood that
you don't speak about anybody the power
of speech it can change a rock into
water that was the story of Moshe and
Aon and and I find it fascinating
because everything we do has a big big
Power in history
okay now
um what I want to do
is what I want to
do just a minute because I prepared it
to be you have to prepare more when you
want to say it in short when you need to
we
have this period before tab the three
weeks we spoke lot we spoke about
making we spoke about we spoke about all
these
things are almost the same like
us this is based on the midash on the
maharal and
on development of
the it says
in
of is uh
is the explanation
of the Deeds of the father of the
children is the separation of abrah and
lot peral is the war between the Kings
and Abraham per
is the Covenant between the
pieces and there it
says says to
know you should know meaning know Y is
more present and Ted is future that you
that your descendants will be a stranger
in a land which is not
there says the
midash you should know that I'm going to
scatter
you that I will beab that I'll gather
them together
back I'll make them into a mash I'll
sell
them I will gather them
together that I'll make them
slaves sh that I will liberate them that
I will save
them the galut is
y and the
G is T and what it means that the galut
is a absolute proof that there will be a
Gula this is very deep what I'm trying
to say if you don't understand after I
speak more you tell me please the galut
is an
absolute proof that there will be a
Salvation a Gula as well because galut
is not some
T because we don't have any nation in
the
world that and that connected with what
we said the first part of the ship galut
is not t because a nation is defined by
the country by the culture by but if you
scatter them all over they adapt they
assimilate they become part of the
nation
and this is what we tried to learn in
the third PUK of the beginning
of when we said you know it
goes Yehuda went into the galut Yehuda
the 10 tribes already are are lost in a
certain sense either they simulated or
they hidden we don't have them but
Yehuda went
into and the question which I love of
the
mid other nations don't go to galut we
have had mixed the Nations but he mixed
the Nations so much that today we don't
have that we're not allowed to ever
accept Amon or moav or that any MIT is
we don't know who is who because they
adapted because they assimilated because
they became part of the other nations
so the Nations don't go to galut the
Armenians didn't have to go to galut
terrible terrible suffering
El Ella the nations of the world their
galut is not galut because they eat
their bread and they drink their wine
that's how the midash says we said it
which means that it's not a problem to
partially adapt the only way not to
assimilate and that is you have a
country you to go together
all together the very first galut B
could
produce cmud bav because they were all
more or less in the same places but
later on when we were scattered all
around the world our galut is a real
galut and a real galut does not keep for
a long time not only Mark Twain said it
but the our meim said it as well our
meim said the biggest the biggest
biggest n that we we are still here
we're not part of the people
okay therefore since we are not in our
normal state
tve galut is AER we have a lot of galot
but we have to understand that even
though theer exist theer belong the
years exist but because it's anti ever
and we have to fall back on the real
thing we will fall back on our feet in a
certain sense and there will be a
that's by understanding that g
is we don't adapt we we
adapt makes a differentiation between
assimilating and adapting we adapt we
part of we have we're not allowed to
steal a either we we we have have to
live among the nation but but we don't
assimilate we're separated we're oil and
water even though but in a way which
area but our avoider is not to
forget that that galut is not the plan
of the final world no Nation the world
remains a people if it's mear
benam that's why very often their way of
anti-Semitism is to make us become part
of them
totally okay and
our in the galut is
y we should know that our tough kid will
be to not forget and to know that it's
only
momentary the galut our and that's
this is the Mahal it's so beautiful our
Essence there are six questions it's a
Gora it's very important gor
our we were going to be asked six
questions and one of them is were we
honest in our business deals that the
first one people seem to
forget one of them is did we Lear Torah
but one of them is tip Yeshua and tipu
doesn't just mean we we want Mah now
yeah on the condition that it's after
thees right because thees is beautiful
so we want Mah now but just after the
you don't want to miss the that's a
famous joke but our Essence
ISU the remember is in chabas
shabas meaning on the six
questions galut is a contradiction to
our tkid to our
it's
not
it's we are in a certain sense a little
bit in prison in G we can't do fully our
tking so the answer is to expect the
Gula to wish the Gula not
to get used to the galut and feel that
it's okay it's good enough I'm very
happy there have a bigger house the
shopping centers are nicer the people
are more polite and uh at the end of the
day I have more help at home it's easier
to get a cleaning lady so I'm happy in
galut I I don't need
more because msia can only come
in if if you expect it if you want it
the says you can't
receive more than what you hope for
because who gives a Kim that a person
need from what he
wants in other words I'm deadly
thirsty but I didn't prepare cups of
water or a or a d uh pale so somebody
throws me water I don't get it because I
don't have the killing I don't have the
the the tools to put the water in to be
able to
drink I have to prepare myself and to
know what I want then when I get the
water I'll put it in the clean and I'll
drink it okay if if you didn't expect
something if you didn't hope for
something if you didn't wish something
you didn't prepare the king to get it to
get
it we say in Ash and I tried to look for
examples which are which we say every
day the eyes of everybody is expecting
you and you give them their food in
right time when they ask for
it if I don't ask for it I don't open my
mouth I don't get it and you understand
understand you have to believe in it to
get it because it's a
contradiction if you don't believe in it
and you get it you don't get it because
you miss it because you did not prepare
yourself to get
it so very
nice you
recognize right
heing
of the C of the first
letters right we looking
for we hope you we hope that you're
going to give us what we
want together is 70 is 20 the C and Alf
is one it's 91 what is 91 everybody
knows
it's is a we have to have
the and if you look at the soft table
of you have the of you have the L
of of and you have the half of
of so you have a c a l and a what word
does it make
C only if you believe in what you want
and you hope for it you get the C
a CLE yeah the CLE is the the the tool
to be able to get it why you seem Shalom
at the end in because the Shalom is a
CLE that that can receive all the
because if you go to the supermarket and
you buy a million things and it's in
your in your aala but you don't have any
bag and they don't let you take things
out you know a gallot of something
goodbye you did the work for you get it
everybody
okay according to the tikva that we have
for something the person gets
and when they when they when they
believe that they can get it from you
okay in words
the creates
theck and this open my eyes tremendously
because we learned more or less the
three first we spoke a lot about the
that
no we spoke about the
G we did not find because it's a
solution the only way that we will look
and that we will expect hasem does it
out of good for us that we are never for
a very long time quiet in a place and we
saw that now finally with our own
country Israel are we are we secure in
Israel yes more because Al We Believe
very very strongly but are we is it a
quiet place are we resting are we are we
it's everything B right and this is
Israel right in other words L the famous
Mas of the people that see a fantastic
Island and they begin living on it and
when they begin cooking it's hot and the
island turns over because it's not an
island but it's the back of a whale we
are
constantly on the back of a whale so
it's pretty frightening I think in
Israel we feel it when we take a bus
yesterday I was so happy I thank the
driver for giving me a roller coaster
for free he was crazy he went so fast
with all the bumps you know so that one
shouldn't go too fast for the kids he
went at a crazy speed all the people
fell on the bath and everything it was
crazy crazy okay so so we are on the
back of a whale very often but this is
okay so so this is the third P but the
fourth p is absolutely fascinating the
four is
the the roads toward toward the BET
mikash
are are
morning and
the are and the girls are sign because
boys have been taken you remember I
learned we learned to Mid that the boys
were taken into
Exile and everything I mean we would
have never thought 10 years ago that
that it's so real right that it's so
that P is is the m for today and
everything unbelievable yeah
and which is which is
actual send us back I mean unbelievable
everything goes back okay and
and ask the
midash I'm sure that you heard it
already it should have the people
are the people are in heaven that they
can't go anymore to there is
no after
the no
the
and
is object
Ella everything in this world wants to
do its mission
including the Sun and the Moon and the
pl and this
is everything wants to do the word want
doesn't fit with something which is an
object which doesn't have free choice so
whenever we have such a story we speak
about the moon and the moon speaks in
bis and everything it speaks for us and
the midash says and we make a if things
which don't have fre chice and are only
objects want to do their jobs whatever
this of course we want to do our job a
person that does what he feels is is his
mission in this world has such a
pleasure thatal that not everybody feels
it eating an ice cream takes five
minutes Joy sometimes if the ice cream
was too big or too much you
know with cream on it you feel
5 minutes and it's over two years on
your body as the joke says and and but
when you do something good you feel you
have the pleasure of being a giver you
do something good you see the result you
continue seeing there is a pleasure
which keeps for a very very long time
it's a DA you don't just do it for a
second you picture what it will do is
change the life of people and everything
much much more so so so when you do your
mission calv you feel that you did your
mission in galut we're in prison we only
can do it
partially so if we realize this that
it's not a TV situation then the galut
is for sure rash doesn't want a non-tv
situation he doesn't want a not normal
situation he wants us to be able to do
what we are here in this world for and
therefore the galut is a proof that
there will be a the letters are almost
the
same you
understand according to how much we
hoped
right and and this is this
iski said it many times if you are
totally adapting to your new situation
he say okay that's what I'm here for
so then Hashem has to make the galut
worse and longer rakov kamki said it
over and over again okay and
and and that's why it's so important to
understand that we are creating the K to
be able to receive the Gula that will
come this is part of our avoiding times
it's very positive it's an it's an it's
a a a way of looking at Tish that we
really miss something which is difficult
because it's something that we never had
we never had others had at the time of
the betam midash but the world without
the betam midash we have to understand
is not the same world when we say that
the going would know they would help us
Reed it it means that we don't realize
that not having when somebody entered
the betan
dash he came out a different person with
Joseph mishita and all these stories he
is not the same person when we say when
the Mish per says that 10 10 Miracles
were in the
bet we just bring 10 but they were
Miracles all the time every day so if we
realize this and then we miss it more
then
it's a proof that it's not a normal
situation and that the Gula will come
you get
it do you have questions it's pretty
hard to explain I should take every one
of you and we should make a on the text
how it was because I did it fast and I
hope that you get the point so ask me
questions if you
have oh what the what are the um what
are the other questions you said there
are six questions I thought there were
only
four there are
different I I will bring next time B and
I will read you the G okay I always
remember the the tip Yeshua which
everybody does and the honesty which is
so important and uh the learning the
three
most important one but there is more I
think it's a little bit like you
knowa you have to you have to believe in
them but I'll read you the Gora itself
okay okay yeah fine thank you so
everybody wants a share next week before
Tish it's a week before Tish still yeah
I mean I would like to yeah everybody
wants more or less or very few people go
Onish the question is whether you want
or whether you need
aish if if you remind me then I'll send
an email next week like I did it the
other time for Shas
