today also and the sadiq repeated the boy is going to be fraid afraid without any ransom so mrs. satou flew back to Argentina to Bonnie Sarah's encouraged and more days pass and finally on Friday the twelfth of me son I live schibetta get all the phone rang in the home of shows sit on it was the kidnappers on the phone and they said that we have the boy we want a million dollars in cash let one of

of Israel the brother with a kidnapped boy David went at his City Square carrying the ransom money wearing the unusual colored shirt and two people came over to him and they came to take the suitcase full of money and at that moment the police who had tapped the phone try to catch the kidnappers and the kidnappers notice the police coming and they escaped now leaving David standing there he says for sure these kidnappers going to kill his brother and he didn't know what to do he stood there in his son meanwhile one of the kidnappers escaped and the other one went into a bathroom to change his clothing so should be recognized and boarded a bus but a policeman noticed that he was putting his shirt in when he boarded the bus policeman stopped the bus took the kidnapper off for an hour and a half they interrogated him in a very tough way and now David is waiting and waiting and he went to the police station to see what happened and he goes there and he meets his brother Israel there the police interrogated the kidnapper and he led in with his the enemies are the kidnappers are and he was freed you sir L was freed on Shabbat I get all without any ransom I spoke to the family about this they went to the basic necessities synagogue where the rabbi rubbish hebbar was giving their Shh abetik at all he was freed on schibetta ghetto so it's mahal dor vador on demonology latino we seen a same we're coming to pacer we just went through forum where there is very circles and it's but yeah I mean my him buzz man is there it's not just something that happened then but you seem happen all the time we have to believe it we have to count on it shabbir Hodor widor on di Milano like a Latino we say that the felan is circa chabert holio momento but very important for the news seem to happen is for us to believe to believe that hashem is with us he cares about us He loves us and that he will give us in his seem that we're looking for first prime minister of israel says the one who doesn't believe in miracles is not practical the gemara tells a story about have another shot who came and he went to the king and he wanted to hang Mordecai and his said the king told him that he should go and get the Susa Melek Souza should have a lover may like the horse that the King wrote on and to give it to Mordecai a hoodie and a camera says the camera Miguel adopted Zion then Hammond went to see Mordecai what I was teaching the students how to bring the curb on Homer it was the second day apesar where the sacrifice of the omer is wrought and he was teaching her how to bring a handful of solid of the best type of flour on them as veia so that's how I told her many men testimony teaching them he said I'm teaching them how to bring Carbonaro me so hey man said that Etta and I'm quoting from the camera male come sir come Hadid who that a handful of solid of came and pushed away the 10,000 kakaka SF tons of silver that I offered to give so the question I've always had on the gemara is how has him and so sure that if more the highest teaching the students had to bring a sacrifice that that learning and that teaching is going to push away the whole decree of Lee Hashmi daroga Lebed of destroying Chloe's right how was he so sure and I think that what it means is her man was amazed at the positive attitude of the Jewish people here there was a decree to destroy all the Jewish people in a hundred and twenty seven countries and what would the Jewish people doing they were not coming pleading with him they were not begging him they were not apologizing to him what were they doing they were learning how to bring sacrifices in a bit of mukesh but the potomac dash has already been down almost 70 years was destroyed and not only that all of them were supposed to be wiped out by the next for Team some 11 months later and instead of them crying and begging and pleading with him they were learning how to bring Corbin Athena Potomac dash he saw the power of baton of positive thinking of the Jewish people and he says if this is how these people think that they're going to win and I'm finished the Camaro goes on and it's a story in life when one counts on a shame he sees miracles and he sees great things the camera goes on that is there heard that himeno is going to give was going to take about a high and what if i wanted to bay that they take a haircut and she closed down all the barber shops and all the bath houses so this way hammond to give a haircut to Mordecai and to be his bath boy and the question have always had who would want to take a haircut from hemet especially the same day that he made a gallows for Mordecai to hang on it who would want a man standing on top of his head with it with his scissor top of his head and I think the message is that just like the Jewish people had the positive thinking that they were not going to die and that the beta mukesh is going to be built and they're going to break her bonnet on it they wanted to make sure that her man was the opposite that a man should not look at himself like he's a prime minister not somebody with confidence but the opposite of not to have the positive self-image and therefore she wanted to convince me another prime minister your bath boy and you are a barber and that's what happened and that's what happened and after this happened his daughter died and his wife told him a faltar pulley going to fall and when it came time when he sat with the king of the fees he couldn't open his mouth because he had such a powerful negative self-image and this is a story that we always have to know and understand how important it is to have that self-confidence that closes them as we come to the holiday apace out of the holiday of in his same the holiday of miracles where hashemi the Shekinah comes our house went affilliate are accepted and it's so important that we use our time and our mind to talk to Hashem to beam it spelt ahem it says amo Shara Bey
