friends
we're living in unprecedented times
we've never experienced anything like
this it's not like we could tell our
children i remember 20 years ago 30
years ago
we have no experience not in our own
individual lives not in our collective
experience anything to tap into to say
we've been through this before
only minutes ago i got a message davin
urgent
when do we hear things like this and
then
then i got the call and now someone is
crying on the other line
the iman should bring aliyah to the
neshama of
passed away only minutes ago
what do we do
where do we turn
we know though we were in a similar
a predicament we were in a very tight
spot we were in egypt we were mitsrayam
mitsuram is called the basavadim
rashi explains in the beginning of
parashat israel that the reason why it's
called basavadim
is because no one ever escaped
israeli thanked the rebel shalom i'll
tells us
above and beyond anything that yesterday
thanked hashem for he thanked hashem for
taking us adam at sram because it was a
land that was misugeras it was sealed
there was no way out
similar to our matsuv
where it seems how is this going to end
how are we ever going to get out of this
in egypt we were miss sugarus
and how did the egyptians seal up egypt
the swarm teach us the qidah rights
they used kishuf they used witchcraft
they used sorcery they used the
to seal the land no one ever escaped
egypt it was the impossible the
impossible situation no way out
so how did we get out because if we
could understand how we got out of the
impossible
then maybe we could get a glimpse and
have some direction what we do in this
seemingly also impossible situation
kenship is a very powerful force
and nevertheless the gemara tells us the
massachusetts
that there was a woman who tried to harm
rabbi khanina
and this woman tried to take out dirt
from under the leg of rabbi khanina to
use the dirt
to harm him through magic through kishov
and rabbi khanino said no don't even
bother don't even try
ain't
famously teaches us
that the power of enord movado
that if somebody internalizes that there
are no phenomenon in the world there are
no powers in the world
there are no illnesses there are no
financial difficulties
this is such a great subject us
and the wondrous supernatural power la
hussain
to remove and to obliterate and to
nullify call demon all forces of me
you hear what the never shakhaim is
saying that we have a kayak in this
world to be mad eldin what is this kayak
that it should not rule over you it
should not make any impact
wow we have something in our arsenal
that could stop that could overcome that
could remove the meetha
says
when a person establishes in their heart
to say
hashem who alike
three banisam runs the world
he is the true
director in full control
there is no force power phenomenon that
has any ability in this world the hakoel
male rack
all there is in this world is only the
simple unity of the ubanisham's
existence and one is mavato in his heart
and doesn't pay attention to any other
force
kenya
you know how you obliterate me
you internalize you meditate you focus
you take a moment and you say to
yourself there's no corona we don't even
like to say the word we don't even like
to say the name of the illness but for
the purpose of learning we just mention
it there's no illness
there's no financial difficulty
there's no quarantine
all there is is the roth sign habire
yusvarak
that internalization that realization
has the kayak to be mavata oldinem
how did we get out of mitsrayim
this forum teach us amazingly there's so
many sukim you see the words
are rushed
the first letter of each of these words
aleph i in mem
that is actually one of the 72 names of
hashem it's the fourth of the
seventy-two names of hashem using the
system of what is called yoishar yoisha
yosha and we've spoken about that at
length on other occasions aleph ayan mem
is actually one of the shameless
baruch
and with this kayak we got out of the
kishaf of egypt
the material may have locked down egypt
they may have sealed all the doors shut
with kishoff but we
obliterated the kisha
with the internalization with the
realization that all there is in the
world is the rebain of shalaylam
anoi
raid
mitsrayma a raid
aleph
laymar god will remember you parkour
you've g
and therefore when we realize that the
way we got out of the impossible
the way we got out of such a difficult
situation such a
seemingly
no escape
the way we got out is by recognizing
that all there is in the ubanisham all
there is in the world is the rebuning
shallam
that is how we got out of mitzrayim
that's how we remove that's how we save
ourselves from every predicament
and amazingly there's a safe
shame
and in the safer oil shame the hashem
teaches us that this is the kavana of
eating the matzah and the eating the
mara to realize there is no force in the
world other than the ribbon islam
himself and therefore we make the bracha
allah
again we see this shame enoid movada
when we eat the matzah we ingest it we
digest it and we recompose its elements
that this idea and this notion is
coursing through our veins is running
through our blood we realize there's no
phenomenon there's no illness there's no
financial
phenomenon all there is is the raza of
akadesh barco the more we realize this
the more we have a kayak to overcome the
meet up
we all need
such trying times
we all know people who are suffering it
comes close to us
but even though we need khizuk
more than anything else we need to do
something about it
you know
sometimes we hear some people say the
reason this is happening is because of
this aveira because of that of era
and as many godom have taught us we are
not naveem we cannot pinpoint exactly
but on the other hand just to say well
god's hiding himself and we don't know
what to do so let's just get khizuk and
hizouk and khizuk
we cannot do that either we don't have
the luxury to do that we are
that the banished home is talking to us
and he's sending us a message and he
wants us to do something
we all know
that we spend so much time on all of our
devices
we spend so much time on our electron on
our electronic
appliances
we need to
think about this we need to give our we
need to give a real heisman hanefesh
is there more time we could dedicate to
lima torah for uninterrupted limara
torah
this is a suggestion given by gaddafi
israel we have to look to the gadolin
the sarah torah is making this
suggestion to claudius
is asking
again they're not saying that this is
the cause of it but they're giving us
suggestions of something concrete that
we could do to do chuva as we know
hashem is saying
is not looking for our sackcloth he's
looking for action he's looking for real
genuine change
there's an amazing svasemes
this semester is found in rosh hashanah
and
tapreshas
writes everything in this world you
could learn from
haloim halloy made me call adam
says
but not only do we have to learn from
every person we have to learn from every
phenomenon in this world we need to
learn from the meetha saden
what could we learn from
says
we could learn to be native
to dark anu we could learn to change our
ways
says
when we learn from the midas hadin it's
mamtik the denim it's sweden's the dna
in other words it's not enough just to
listen to shirum every day on his
wonderful corona there's a new genre
of
of shirum today you know you could go to
the various uh venues and you could
choose gemara mishna bhura
parasha karanakis quran is great
but the rebel islam did not bring this
to us that we should get
brought this that we should do something
make a real change in our lives
a few changes perhaps
and for zohar to learn from the midas
hadin that is mamtik the midazzaden
so these are two humble suggestions
first of all recognizing internalizing
there's no news there are no happenings
there are no phenomenon
everything in this world is the wrought
sign of the boy ray islam the more we
feel that and there are infinite levels
of feeling that the more we feel that
the more it's the segula niffla
ula vatel me eleno
number two the sasemas writes the way to
imamtik the dinim is to learn from the
meetha
to take a concrete measure
something in limara torah in tifila
we have to do these things that's what
ribansham is asking us
and we also need
somebody told me he wants to write an
article
he wants to write a
a letter the saddest pesach
it could be
grandparents looking forward the whole
year to hear their children their
grandchildren say the manishtana
and now
you know for all
sid khani is out there you're gonna
you're gonna be saying the manustana and
what if somebody's all by themselves
what a painful pesach what a homie
pesach
you know
in the final sentence of refinement we
say
roy faye ne'eman
ki kale you are god
you are the king the trustworthy doctor
you are merciful
and i understand what most of these
words are saying we say hashem is the
king
meaning he has all
refused he has all
technology he has all medicine at his
disposal if the ibanezham wants he could
send us
immediately he has everything at his
disposal he's the mellah he it's his
world
so we say hashem you're the mellah
provide us with the raphua
you're a roy feineman you're a
trustworthy doctor when you
when we put our faith in you we trust
that you will heal us
we're you're
hashem you're merciful you're merciful
you have brahmanas on us you will heal
us even perhaps if we don't deserve it
i understand what all these words are
saying but why do we say hashem is kale
what's the point of saying kale
the marshall teaches us that the word
kale is the name of hashem that
demonstrates
that he's a partner with us we're israel
israel means we have a partnership with
hashem
i believe the reason why we say kale and
rafael it's a great nahama
we have to realize that when we are
suffering when we are hailem when our
family members are hailem
yes we are suffering but you know who
suffers even more than we suffer the
rebinoshome is in our partner with it
hashem is our partner in the tsar he is
he's feeling our pain he's empathizing
with us
hashem is
but i want to tell you something i want
to share something with you
this say there you may not have your
parents with you
you may not have your children with you
you may not have your brothers and
sisters with you
but it's brought in the name of sam
sofia and the belzareva
and it's you'll be hard-pressed to find
where looks i'm sorry for says this
where the belzoraba says this but this
is a well-documented idea and thought
that we all know the haggadah
begins
in aramaic
and aramaic is not my first language and
i doubt anybody listening to this year
aramaic is their first language why
would we begin the haggadah in aramis
and the well-known idea
is the gemara tells us in brachas rabbi
lazar when he would daven for he would
davin in aramaic and the gemara asks but
the malachi ashores who escort the
philosoph
they don't understand aramaic they don't
deal with aramaic in iskakan aramis so
why would rebels are david in aramaic
says the gemara shechina lamala mira
and therefore he would daven in aramaic
to indicate perhaps even to be much
that he should realize that he banished
him is with him at the head of his sick
bed so too it is suggested
that at our say there the zayar teaches
us that you know who comes to our say
there
ribonus
with his whole retina he's sitting at
our say they're with us basking in the
nachas of the say there
so realize dear friends
you may not have your children
you may not have your parents and you
may be all alone
but you're never all alone
especially the night of the say there
derived some is sitting next to you
he feels your loneliness and he's coming
to comfort you he's coming to relive the
experience of utilizing and he's coming
to tell you all there is in this world
it's just me
and the same way i got you out of the
impossible mountain of misrayam
i will take you out of this matzah
and i may have hidden my face from you
for a short amount of time
for a small amount of time perhaps i've
forsaken you barack obama
with great mercy
we have a moon
that they're born some will gather us
and take us out of this massive with
great mercy barakam in gadolin
is waiting to redeem us from this
massive and will
redeem
