then so then you think oh it's being recorded beautiful okay good thank you David thank you very much it's on my computer but I am I'm a I have a I'm a paid Skype member so it's allowing me to do it oh okay thank you very much okay good so I just am discussing the the the schedule so then oh maybe just getting a so yeah if you want the week after Tish I can do it as well but it depends if you're going on KES or if I'm going on Kish I don't remember if I'm going on Wednesday I think I'll be I personally will be a little bit uh I don't know I I can't promise but maybe if the other ones wanted a week after the shab I don't 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
