okay recording in progress uh good
morning or good afternoon to everybody
wherever you wherever you are once again
as always a huge Yasha uh to the U for
set for setting up these she or me for
all the wonderful things that they do in
in in so many so many different ways um
today's Shear is is let let me give you
the details the today's Shear which
which we I titled you know if Hashem is
so good why why do things look so bad is
not dealing with the question of Sonic
verado we are not dealing with the
question of why do seemingly wonderful
good people have bad lives that
seemingly should make no sense right and
Why do wicked evil people seem to have
wonderful lives if God is just that
makes no sense we that's not our
question that's a h that's not a 20
minute share that's a huge long a long
discussion we have a a different
question okay and I want to explain very
clearly what our question is g to be
right so that no one's confus and and
say well we're answering what one
question
watch here's what we
believe mainstream
tah believes the
following we believe
that
Pao his actions poel his work his T it's
unblemished there's no blemish
everything he does is completely pure
and complete and
unblemished why
well his whole path is Justice all he
does is justice so if everything he does
just then clearly everything he does in
this world is is
unblemished and then the puzz seems to
repeat itself again let he's a God who
is has faithfulness doesn't doesn't fall
asleep with the wheel that doesn't
doesn't take bribes right a of there's
no Injustice which makes sense because
we just
said there's no
Injustice great no Injustice seems to be
repetitious which if this was aish class
you could say fine it's she it's allowed
to be repetition right the famous mush
given by the to explain the power of the
P his famous mush
is the courts here on Earth at Joe robs
the bank there's Witnesses he's caught
everybody knows in that town you rob the
bank you go you go to jail for three
years that's the rule That's the Law rob
the bank there's Witnesses sure gets up
you know open and shut watch theil you
go to jail for three years that's
Justice that's pure Justice go rob the
bank you knew what the law was the law
was clear there's witnesses there no
doubt that he did it no reason worldwi
should not go to jail for three
years but there's other people that are
now going to suffer his 90-year-old
mother who's in an old age home that
nobody's going to visit she didn't rob a
bank right his kids who aren't I don't
know aren't going to go to summer camp
or embarrassed to walk into school that
they didn't rob a bank right his wife
didn't rob a b they go to the judge and
say heyit Joe okay Joe's in jail but
like but NE his 90-year-old
mother what did she suffer for that not
right right his wife is not right kid
what will the judge say that's s cookie
crumbles nothing I can do about it I me
it's just the way it is bad luck you
know what I mean life Stakes the way it
goes Kar who is not like that the judge
did he makes on every individual is Tom
Pao the first half of the Tom Pao called
Joe y who I knowled
whatever whatever got gives him he
deserves it he deserves it but we don't
understand but he deserves it how about
all the other side people oh that's also
taken into account there's no innocent
bystanders
heluna a of there's no Injustice
everything was calculated and
calibrated the entire ripple effect of
what happens to
yose his cousins his Kusa his business
Partners his friends the guy that sits
next to him in his 90-year-old mother
his a great aunt who was somewhere else
but saw it you know and on some WhatsApp
chat and is now they all that's
all the second cousin wants to be moved
who shares the same last name and people
are making fun of him yeah yeah yeah
that that's all it's it's not there's no
that's the way the cookie crumbles tough
luck nothing you can do about it it's
you know you know luck of the draw no no
no no no no no
what he does is
emblish to that individual Ripple
effects that come out to that individual
are also taken those calibrated heluna
doesn't fall asleep at the wheel he
didn't like missed the boat it didn't
like oops oh well well what I'm supposed
to tell you a there's no Injustice no no
no no no Injustice not to the cousin not
to the third cousin wants to move not to
his former roommate
Gish that's what we
believe I we can't make sense of it it's
a different
class that's not the question I'm
asking I'm asking the following question
so that's true because bergo has a
precise and brilliant plan and
everything is calibrated and calculated
so sadik the yashar there's a there's no
Injustice and certainly in the created
world we see Brilliance and forethought
and planning and every genome and every
molecule and every protein unbelievable
wisdom and forethought absolutely the
miraculous survival of the Jewish people
pelic
unbelievable
Indescribable nonsensical
gotic but if there really Justice on
every single solitary individual because
B really take into account not only what
happens to of the you y in road but but
but you know sprin of Schwarz in in and
Kazo Michigan who's in pain because of
what you read about that happened to Y
fin they wrote right yet thought of her
too he knew all the ri effect he was
gonna be a spr k through Michigan
there's gonna be his kid and his uncle
his cousin second cousin must be moved
it's all it was all calculated and it's
all brilliantly planned out and it's all
Justice and it's all fine tuned
absolutely if that's
true why doesn't it look that
way the PK goes out of its way to be
extraordinarily repetitious to drive
home the point that a kber is tuming
unblemished sadic he's righteous a of
there that one iota of
Injustice anywhere in the entire SCH
so how can it look so
ridiculous it looks
ridiculous if whacko completely not
we're not eating we're not we see the
Brilliance of the created world we we we
we can you know microscopes and things
and then we see the The Unbelievable the
planets the forces in nature we see
where we stand in all more science we
learn we're in awe we're not
dumb so why can't we just look and see
and if it's so
sensical why does it look so
nonsensical that's the question why does
it look so nonsensical why does it look
so impossible to
understand why does it look like that if
it's really so put together why does it
look so crazy that's precisely the
question
and remember we said last
class all this crazy stuff going
on we're not happy we're crying you be
know he was crying he was sad he had a
vision of being burnt to the ground but
he was otherwise he could have had
a word b rearranges MAA we use our maaba
we believe that everything is calculated
and calibrated by K and it's all the
best so we serve our sh by saying it's
all we believe does all for the best
there's a plan it's all gonna make sense
and it's it's all makes sense it's all
good idea and this is best thing
absolutely the best thing so if it's
absolutely the best thing we believe
it's the best thing and we're using our
M we said okay I'm not going by my
emotions 100% I'm going by whatever does
the best there's a plan here and I look
at what's going on why can't I see a
plan why can't I see a semblance of plan
why can't I see like I don't get it all
these people are we don't need to go
through all the horrors that if this is
not just one little thing okay so
someday we'll understand this is like
just a complete mishmash
V and yet we believe it's absolutely
calibrated to the every single solitary
get anywhere on the planet it's
something been taken into account what's
going on so if it's so calibrated and
calculated and amazing why does it look
so
completely like random and
ridiculous that's our
question
de the answer is not mine my
friends the answer is a mush I
originally Heard It In The Name Of RV
hutner I and I was always quoting it in
the name of R hutner but then I did F I
don't remember how I discovered this but
but somehow somewhere in in in in the
course of my uh the the the travels I
discovered that the truth is the
following musall was actually stated
said by re vas re Vasan if you remember
was in America as World War II broke out
right and everyone pleaded with him stay
in America like it's it's going down the
tubes there and he said no I go with my
flock I have to go back to Mya and he
got on a boat and they all watched him
believe and they nobody thought they'd
ever see him again and unfortunately we
did not right this was his last Shmo
right which was remembered by people who
did escape the the Holocaust and managed
to somehow get out right this is his
last Mose as the Nazis were closing in
and it was crystal clear that
alera most people are are are are not
are not GNA get out and this was his
mush he gave we'll Jazz it up a little
bit of course but this is his mushro got
to use your imagination it's a mush you
got a guy he grows up in a city he lives
in a condominium top floor 20th floor of
the condominium his school all the
school that he goes to is a building
right next door he does a little
shopping in a supermarket on the other
side of the building and he grows up and
he never leaves that City he all he's
ever seen in his whole life it's the
university building and his condominium
and he works from home and a supermarket
where he goes shopping that's all he
know he doesn't know nothing doesn't
know anything else that's what he does
all day every morning he goes into the
supermarket and he buys himself a bagel
because he loves Bagels there a bagel
every morning for breakfast and one day
he says you know what I gotta get out of
here man like there's a big world out
there I wonder what's on like I never
drove out of the city I wonder what's
going on out there he gets to this car
and he drives out and he wow got trees
there flowers there grass it's amazing
and he's driving around and he stabs a
beautiful piece of land he said wow this
is gorgeous nice beautiful P we can
build a I we can build a cond I can
build a shopping centerbody do with this
and he see there's a guy driving out
onto this piece of land with the
funniest looking machine he's ever seen
in his life and he's looking at him and
it's the weirdest thing it got all these
like knives or something and he's
driving up and down and he's like
ripping up the
land and he says what a
lunatic what's he doing that for look
got go back over go and he the guy
turned his piece of land into mud what a
terrible guy why would he why would you
do that such a nice piece of land why
would anybody turn a piece of land into
mud okay guy's little nuts I don't know
and he sees the guy get off and he's
walking around he has a bowl with
something and he's wrapping stuff into
the mud and he said what's that guy
doing and he walks over and he sticks
his hand to the bowl and he picks up
these funny looking
things
he tastes it and he says you know this
is food I mean it's not very tasty but
you could like eat this why would you
put food in mud he decided this guy's a
very evil person he's just an evil
person he takes a beautiful piece of
land it looks so pretty and he rips it
up and he throws food into
mud and the guy he's just a bad guy bad
bad people in this world he's like I'm a
sicko bad guy but decides to wait around
and we're using our mans she waits
around to see what's going to
happen
unbelievable beautiful tall brown and
white flowers he never saw flowers like
that in his Supermarket he seen roses
and and and tulips but he never saw
these kind of things but it's really
very pretty it's like brown white golden
and he said
ah I got it I'm so stupid he's not a big
guy grinding up land he he and he's not
even a worser guy for throwing away food
he he he grows pretty flowers I guess
that's how you I don't know you grow
flowers I don't
know I guess that's how you do it and
he's growing flowers he's a good guy
he's not a bad guy he's a good guy what
a wonderful fell he grows pretty flowers
and he sticks around he sees the guy's
coming with a big
machine he's cutting them down he said
oh wonder why he's C cutting them down
oh he's uh probably taking them to uh to
people in an old age home he's probably
going to you know go his people in the
hospital and then put flowers in in the
v that's probably what he's gonna do and
he's waiting to see him gather the
flowers and he gathers up these pretty
brown looking things and he has this
horrible looking machine and he's
grinding it into a useless
powder
what this is a sicko that's thick this
is thck
you spend all that time growing pretty
flowers to do what to destroy them you e
nuts this this is just evil like okay
because don't do anything don't grow
flowers that don't destroy them like who
ask G to grow the flowers but you grow
pry flowers and then you gr them up into
a useless powder right same as surgery
right
crazy what a
m and he's I gotta get out of here this
guy kill people he's a crazy guy and he
sticks around a little longer and he
sees the guy's taking the powder and
he's like pour water in it put junking
in mixing around he said what's he doing
what's he doing and he walks over and he
sees his goop GP in this bowl I mean
sticks his hand in oh pretty good what
do you call this stuff call it dough man
oh do and then he says I got it I can go
home now I got it I got it I didn't
understand anything I'm stupid he's
smart first I thought he was a bad guy
because he was ruining a piece of land
then I said no no no he's a good guy he
grows pretty flowers then I said no no
no no no no no he's a bad guy because he
destroys flowers I was wrong all the way
wrong he wasn't bad for destroying land
and he wasn't even good for growing
flowers he's making dough the whole
thing was to make dough I everything I
saw I misread and misunderstood this is
a good guy and he's making dough and I'm
going to go home now because I know
everything makes sense and this is great
he gets into his car and he looks out
the window and he sees the guy who taken
this though and rolling it into a ball
see looks out the window and the guy
opens up some big closet looking thing
and there's a fire in there and the guy
rolls up that ball of dough and throws
it into the fire and slaps the door shut
and he said what happened what just
happened what just happened think the
guy just fell off his
rocker not now zero makes
sense you grow pretty flowers and
Destroy them because you're some kind of
a a deranged
lunatic but but you grow flowers to make
powder to make food bre it into a yummy
roll thing and then you burn it to a
crisp this is more evil than Humanity
can even imagine this guy is just the
essence of Destruction for destruction's
sake and he's about to run away and get
the heck out of here where the door
opens to that closet and out comes a
bagel a
bagel I love bagel I Bagel every day for
breakfast that's so cool says who are
you man and he saids well I'm a farmer
and I'm a b and that's how you make B
what were you thinking he said that's
how you make bagels what'd you think I
don't know you go to supermarket and
bagel how don't you make
bagels and then he realizes he
misunderstood the whole thing what he
thought was good was not good what he
thought was bad was certainly not bad
every step of the way he misread the
process and he misread what was going on
and he had no idea what the heck he was
talking about so when he was happy he
was happy for the wrong thing oh pretty
flowers that's a pretty you're an idiot
no pretty flowers stick around long
enough you're an idiot oh ter is
destroying shut up buing about man stick
around till the end B that's well how
was I supposed to know that this use
what is the useless powder have to do
with the bagel like how the heck is
anybody supposed to know that this like
white powder is Bagel like I supposed to
know that like does look like Bagels how
was I supposed to
Bagels that's a good point you would
have no idea in the planet unless you
ever Bak
bread that's us my
friends that's us my
friends see if you know the
process so we don't need to wait to see
the bigle comes out we're standing next
to this guy said what is
your what are you
doing he's planting he's plowing he's
threshing like what is you what are you
getting all worked up about but it's ter
terrible fire then we how slow out like
what is your problem and he's looking at
us and say you guys AR getting like you
you see what's going on this is terrible
we got to do something and we're looking
at and say what is the problem with like
what do you know just relax
Bud
Bagel trust me it's
Bagel because we know I know the process
I know what I'm looking at
but we don't know the
process we we we don't know how God will
reach the end of the 6,000 year process
we have no idea we don't know great
cabalists possibly do 100% but on us
little people and once you see the bagel
come out of the oven you see the bagel
come out of the oven Bagel come out of
the oven Bagel would have thought that
was so cool man I who would have thought
I that that's amazing wow how'd you do
that that was so smart you you're smart
when the bagel comes out of the
oven but until the bagel comes out of
the oven it it's it's impossible to
connect grinding up what looks like
pretty
flowers to a yummy Bagel
like there's no way you would you would
ever make such a connection unless you
Happ to know the
process but we don't know the process
and the bagel hasn't come out of the
oven yet state of Israel Jew the Jewish
people you know prophet are being
fulfilled I don't know what you think
when you see about all the
demonstrations around the world that say
gas the Jews and he the guy in the lon
underground announcing the thing right
know palestin that would you know this
is great and the Hamas Martyrs you know
Europe all by it I'm thrilled by it
barem getting closer to the end of days
exactly what was
predicted less than 1% of the world
population a small little country why
are people demonstrating all all over
the world thousands more people get
killed all the time in all sorts of
third world countries and nobody even
knows countries they can't they can't
even pronounce their
names but all the do the whole world's
obsessed with what's going on here
little AR Israel because we're thear
they intuitively sort of know it but
they don't understand what they know and
when the bagel comes out of the oven the
theyel come out of the oven and and
that's what we're preparing for
absolutely right I I'm not pro
anti-Semitism right
I don't want anybody in London to get
hurt or anybody anywhere in the world
God forbid and we have to fight itas
protest politicians police but when you
just see what's happening in the world
it's like was predicted that that's
that's a little bit of the process we do
know don't know how why it has to be
that way but that's the plan man
right M mashia Comes The Bagel comes out
of the oven so sometimes we see it we
read the books you know not from s y
gold read then you read all these
Amazing Stories and individual
situations and sometimes we see it and
you read a story and you know it's a
whole 20e Saga and at the end and
everything makes sense and it's all
brilliant and you're impressed and
you're inspired when you finish reading
the book so bur opens our eyes to
certain incidents on a global scale of
the Jewish people it no we we don't see
it yet we certainly don't see it right
yes we look at the human body and we see
Brilliance in planning we look at what's
going on
to see the how it all is all calibrated
calculated
Tom it's it's we just close our eyes and
we believe because that's what we have
to
believe and it's not all that hard
because the miraculous survival of
Jewish people were clearly the obar you
know if you're going to use your brains
you wouldn't predict that we'd be here
today at all in a Jewish country
fighting a war what a prime minister
that Benyamin few years ago benam were
going up and smoke you know what I mean
so that that that don't make no sense
either folks so like we don't make any
sense no matter how you slice it we just
have a mo be talk that there's a plan
that's why it makes
sense that it's nonsensical to us
there's no reason why it should make
sense because we are that guy from the
city watching things which if you don't
know the process it it doesn't make
sense and until you see the bagel coming
out of the oven you would never guess in
a bazillion years that it makes sense
but when it's over it'll be like oh B
that that was so
F God like that's what we believe will
happen What do we do until then how do
people make
weddings when you watch the clips of
these f in around the you know what I
mean doesn't it strike you with like how
the heck did they do that are they
delusional are they like smoking
something are they just in denial that
like you know tomorrow they're going to
be who knows where under what kind of
thing they're just dancing because
they're they're drugged
up how do we go to this oh so for that
we need
D we return to D in times of Sor because
he had
life and he's the one who gives us a of
how to deal with things and at least for
bagel came out of the
oven bash right but while it was going
on things look pretty crazy
for says like this and we say it in our
DAV I have faith I trust in
your
My Heart Will
Rejoice I will sing out to because he's
done good for me say as I explained in
my S what do you
mean he didn't see I trust in your noav
was
saying said this when he didn't see he
saw Darkness he saw Glo he saw father
trying to kill him he saw son trying to
kill him he saw running away from home
he saw disaster and complete
chaos even though my life is dark
I
I that this is I don't see this don't
look like said to
me but everything I does is
good how sure am I that this is said it
don't look like that I'm so sure that
your girl leby My Heart Will Rejoice be
Yeshua when the Yeshua comes when my
salvation comes I'll Rejoice there's
gonna be a Salvation and when that
salvation comes I'm gonna look back and
I'm gonna say wow that wased I'm so I'm
positive that when that happens I'm
gonna sing because I believe it's I see
it but I'm sure that when it all comes
out to an end when the Yeshua comes I'm
G to be singing about this time in my
life because it's going to be
great well if that's
true if you really really believe that
when the Yeshua comes you look back and
see this ASP and you'll sing
then well then what do you do now well
then I might sing
now I'm going to sing to
hasem alive because I know that all he
does is good he did this is good I just
said that when Yeshua comes I'm gonna s
look back and be good if I believe that
when mhia comes I look back and feel
this is good so it is good so if it is
good why aren't I singing now so I'm
gonna sing
now I have faith that this is I don't
see it but I I be
y g come and it's all gonna make sense
absolutely yesu is going to come I
believe it'll all make sense how I have
no idea but what do I know but they will
come out of the oven and and it'll all
make sense so now so if that's
true but I might as well sing
now's done to me because I believe that
ex very difficult but the Jewish people
have the ability to do that the Jewish
people ability to make a and then just
at the end of
for all the darkness and then go back
out to war and then Friday night is
quiet and sing and then two hours later
getting your jeeps and you know shoot
rockets and uh and you know that some of
your made up sing next week and next
week you single again because we believe
it's difficult belief but that's what we
believe why can't we see it CU we're
that farmer guy we don't know the
process we haven't seen the bagel why
why do you think you should be like why
do you think you should be able to
understand of course we can't understand
that's the power of That's The Power of
the end of days
right what happened in GIS MZ R always
remember folks GIS R is a paradigm for
all future Exiles and
redemptions okay people go let's go go
right here power saids yeah watch this
Bud let's make the work harder even Mo B
to struggle with that I Looney since you
said me he it's only gotten
worse you'll see it's gonna be red
relax always gets worse before it gets
better darkest before Dawn everybody
bases it final GAA we'll have the same
thing just like Mr R we'll have a
somewhat of redemption it seems to be
okay we're on our way out Kabam and all
sudden gets worse take a deep
breath and then we're gone that's what
we believe and when the Redemption does
come we'll look back and say that was so
smart you won't even
remember you won't even remember what
your questions were when Mia finally
comes to we should all be for that soon
as absolutely possible everybody should
stay safe all the this Li should be a
for everybody that needs a and everybody
needs to come home and everybody that
needs to stay
safe have a wonderful
day
