Good morning everyone. Welcome to the great blizzard of 2026. Um, for those of you who have been who are in front of me, so if you do want to make a reference to the pop culture, yes, it feels very much like the opening scenes of the movie The Shining, but I do believe that um it's not going to be the same. First of all, they've managed to rack up the heat in this room to sauna level over here. Um, but as Hashem is barak, we're gonna through the heat of and we're going to be able to prevail and make it out. And I'm hoping that tomorrow evening, Hashem will be good to me. I'll be able to get back to Eritrol. And for those of you who do not know me, I am a teacher. That's I think the most important thing that I do is I teach. And it is my ability to use the words of the sitter to be able to give over major ideas in hashkaf. So this way I can give over huge important ideas which is what I'm about to do and you can actually remember what I taught you. You can ground it in maybe we should close the door uh we can ground it in something practical so you can think about these ideas where you d them. So today's class is going to be based on the Schwan astray. And just to orientate you, I'd like to share with you how I teach the schwa. And after many years of contemplation, I figured out a system of teaching the array that is very easy to relate to. It shows how every single braha organically comes from every other braha. Meaning you have a schwan at first glance it looks like 19 bro that are disconnected from each other. It's not that way have this incredible incredible mahalik and the more that you go deeper into it the more you understand how everything should connect to everything else. So the rashbah and baka both in tam of the ramban from Barcelona they taught us that the 19 brahas are broken down the following way. You have the opening three and the last three and the middle 13. The opening three is called you're praising a kuresh. The last three is called hudah. You're thanking before you leave him. And the middle 13 are the actual bakos themselves. What I've said so far is not a kesh. The garra says this. But rabbak and the rashbah break down the 13 in the following way. Six six and one. And this makes it very easy to relate to because it means that the first six bronos are requests for my own personal needs. My own personal needs means my needs and the needs of my loved ones, my proverbial entourage. And the second six is I plug into the fact I'm part of Israel. So the first six is my story beginning with my birth for the next 120 years. And the second one is to the Malik Mashiach. This is the macro picture of who I am. That's how the two groups of sixes are broken down. Furthermore, and this already is Manaka Nissle's edition. Those two groupings of six can be broken down into threes and threes. The first three I call them introductory and the second three are the actual needs themselves. So, let me just go through this with you and show you how it works in practice. The first three braas you're praising the kures. How do you do that? Braha number one is through the lenses of a raino. I call birkus aos is the braha of the roots of cl. It's also an introductory service where you present yourself to as the child of hashem is god and we talk about the relationship of the second is I praise through through the lenses of and there we show where everything is going to. It's the world ofim and the world of endent days. The third braha is we see how we relate to through the lenses of and that is how high can a Jew reach. This is the world of kadusha. That is the heights that a person can can reach. These three praises of Baru is also how we so to speak we break ourselves into the world of having left the outside world with our three steps. We're now standing in front of a bar ready to make our requests. I'm going to jump to the end just for that to make it uh more smoothlined. The last three brace and mod and shalom are three different ways to say thank you. One is through the lenses of that's say that's the mdash is what I call the personalized thank you where we say we saw last night right here on the stage the extraordinary miracles that does for us and then shalom is what I call the universal thank you I cannot go through this in detail now because I only want to teach one of the 19 brahas. Let's now go to the middle 13. The first six is all about my needs and it begins with three introductory braasu and means before I can do anything in my I have to be able to think but not just think because hashem gave me a brain to think through your way of thinking to be able to think the way wants us to think. If you're thinking properly, immediately afterwards, you see hashenu. I want to get back to the road. The proverbial gas stations of life are distracting. Means I want to get back to the highway to be able to live the life I'm supposed to live. After you are now back on track, you suddenly realize that no since the last one, you probably messed up and you say you tell if I messed up, if I said something, if I did something wrong should forgive me. Then we have the three stresses. I call them the three stresses of life. What are the three stresses of life? Everyone in front of me will identify with at least one. Unfortunately, some of us with all three. Social stress, health stress, and money stress. Social stress is raenu. Um um health stress is rafainu and money stress is barakenu. Those are the three stresses that every single one of us live our lives through that. And as I always like to say, thank God for stress because that way always keeps us close. When I say stress, I mean without tragedies. Okay, tomorrow I'm talking about manageable stress. Okay, stress that is part of the the the lives that we live in. So those are the opening six needs that we have and we ask for my personal life. The next six talks about me, myself, I as part of Israel. So we start off and we ask number one we need to have unity immediately after that we ask for leadership once we've asked for terror leadership we realize that unfortunately throughout history since already the times of the Greeks has always had a fifth column uh beloved yidden who nebuk are hurting us from within in and that's the mashim and I always took over the sheet of the mahar that when you say mashim you don't ask hashem to destroy the people but rather to destroy their value system so those three are the introductory now we have three left and I'm going to do them backwards the ultimate request that we have is called aladikim or before I forget excuse me before I forgetu is a unique brahar that is what I call the ring that binds everything together. So the six and the six which together makes 12 there's a 13th bra just like in the word in the alf takes the and the dal the is eight dollar is four together is 12 the akad is unites them just like yakabinu unites the 12 tribes similaru unites the 12 bros that is another concept but let's go back to the last three requests that we have the last one is the request for mashiach and That is we say we ask and say my life is empty is lacking without Mashiach. That is the ultimate need of every single Jew. What's the before that? Msiah cannot come in a vacuum. Mashiach needs a home. And that's the brah of that frames the coming of Messiah. And now we're ready to ask my big question because this is what my sh is going to be about. What is the braha that I missed out? The bra before you shal Mitch, you have the sitter open in front of you is for years and years and years. I did not know how to teach theatikim because I myself struggled with that braatim somehow rather is past of the climactic three requests that we have and somehow rather will frame which in turn frames and I don't understand what this bra is all about at first glance it's au to bless the sadikim him. Now what on earth uh we ask to bless the tadikin for honestly this is project inspire we should ask to bless those who are I don't want to call them rashim but those people who don't live the terror life they need the brahos what about us folks what about us folks that we are regular bayonim why don't we get a special bra why did the sadikim get a shout out more than anybody else secondly why is this the preamble to your mdash. Why is asking give them lots and lots of mercy. Third question is that the whole nature of the braha makes no sense because we're actually asking to give these great wonderful people to give them their to give them their reward. Last time I checked, there are 13 principles of faith from the Rambam. One of them is called Onesh. By definition, everyone is going to get their and their onesh. So, let's focus on the and same way obviously they're going to get thear give them their reward. So, why are we asking the sadikim specific give them their reward and this is the introduction to shalim and the B mikdash. And finally and finally that word it's almost bizarre. How did we get into that list? This is some kind of a superhero list. So he said then don't forget us. If you're saying then they just say bless the Jewish people and you've got everything. What does it mean and don't forget us give us a bra as well. So every way you look at it this makes no sense. Why is it that we ask a bar for a shut up for the sadikim and then say don't forget us who are not sadikim. So just say givea for everyone and then just say you know what what's the point of asking Hashem to givear and to everyone hashem does it anyhow because this is exactly what we believe in as part of our beliefs. And my opening question was why is this the necessary introduction to the world of Yalai which in turn is the necessary introduction to the world of Mashiach? My dear friends, we're all on the same page. We hear the four questions. You're happy. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. So, I want to share with you that when my rebi Shapiro passed away, um I had a desire that I figured out later on I found Marramos for the idea that I'm about to share with you. I spoke it over with my peers and they told me, "Man, you hit the nail on the head. This is this is the way to do it." And it's a little unusual what I'm about to say, but once I say it and I sell my product, I guarantee every single one of you, you're going to start looking at that braha differently and hopefully implementing the ideas that I'm about to share with you on the incredible brahaikim. So let's begin at the beginning. Who was the sadic? Well, Yoseph, okay, this is kind of like, you know, I have in the audience my plant for those of you who are watching in Tur anytime. It's good old Mitch. I taught him in Dar um somewhere between the Civil War and Vietnam. I can't remember exactly what it was. It was 25 years ago, something like that. So, yeah, 100% correct. The Sadic, at least in it is Yoseph. Sometimes in the Gumar some says binomadic but it's for the same reason y is called the tadic and it's unusual because we have au we have Mosha Rabenu we have David Hamelik we have Aaron Hakayen people come along and they're known with some kind of a a name that comes with them but there's only one sodic and that's y do not confuse this with Noah who's described desried as a he was an iss. And what it does is it forces us to realize that is such a kind of person in Israel called Vitadik. So let's talk for a few moments about the story of ye hats. What made him at Sadik? What made him so unique and special? And the answer is is we look at his story and we contrast it with the story of Yehuda. Yehuda was the greatest son of Leia and Yoseph was the greatest son of Raal. If you don't believe me, go and have a look at the bras of Yakovu. It's basically Yoseph and and Yehuda. They're the big ones. They're the big ones throughout history. And they are opposites in what they contribute to Kal Israel. Yehuda is called the Baluva and Yseph is called the Sadic. Yehuda falls and he comes along and he picks things up and he builds. From Yehuda comes comes um Dra Malik who also falls and then comes along and builds and then finally comes the Malik Mashiach. Yseph is not that way. Ysef is the 17-year-old boy who goes down to Egypt. Egypt is called Admas Ben. We said it this morning in Davening for those of you that made it to Shakaris. It's called Admas Ben. It is the land of Kam literally means heat. Kam represents um sensuality um um aggressiveness every single bad meter that's connected to the world of heat. Bottom line is Admas is the lowest of the lowest environment that you could ever imagine to place a 17-year-old boy. Yet was not just any 17-year-old boy who was extraordinarily handsome. And Baru designed it that he should go into the home of Potifa who would have a wife. Her specialtity, her unique skill set was to take handsome boys and make them fail and make them collapse. take away their roas. No one in the world knew how to do it better than her. And she was relentless day after day, day after day. Something incredible, something unbelievable. Ysef is always, always represents the Jew who somehow or rather is put in the hardest spiritual environment that you could possibly imagine and still prevails and still comes out on top. That is what makes him special. The midashian bring down something incredibly beautiful about Yseph Hadik in the that Hatadic prevails. Clai Israel spent 210 years in Mitim. 210 years, not once did a Jew, male or female, and the Egyptians were extremely lowly. And they would take women and they would take men and do whatever they wanted with them. Not a single one was taken advantage of except for one case mistaken identity. But that is the exception that proves the point. An incredibly lowly place 210 years a most beautiful beautiful nation. Shir hashirim. We described the beauty of the of the Jewish people as they left Egypt. And remember they were slaves in Egypt. And slaves you can take advantage of them. Unfortunately, if you learn world history, you see what um invading countries did to their slaves. I don't want to go into detail, but just read about South America, what the concistadores did, the Spanish and Portuguese, what they did to the local population. Not once did an Egyptian take advantage of a Jewish boy or a Jewish girl. in who? In this of Yvatic that goes into this impossible scenario and somehow comes out and prevails. He goes in. He is the foundation of how Claw Israel is created. And then what? Then comes Yehuda. What's the first thing Yehuda does? Yehuda is the one that failed and did Chuva. What's the first thing that he does? He builds walls. He goes into galas and he builds walls which is the Jewish way in galas. It is always considered to be a braha when we have a ghetto that somehow or rather can disconnect us from the world around us. So those of you that were here uh Friday night I made fun of Baron Cutler over here about about Lakewood being a bubble. Thank God it's a bubble. Thank god we have places where yen can be yidden and disconnected from the world outside of us. So we can flourish in our natural terror environment. Interesting. I'm an anacle of Tesus Yumpt. People don't know this little piece of history. You go down to the city of Vienna, which in his time was the capital city of the Austrahungarian Empire. The first thing he requested from the Kaiser was to build a Jewish ghetto, which today is literally still the Jewish center in in the middle of everywhere. It's like like downtown and it's a you've been there obviously but it's an incredible thing that a good always understood and we learned this from Yehuda Gishen Gishan which interestingly historically was a gift that the previous parrot had given to Sarenu Gishan was our place geish had walls geish yhuda comes in builds yeshiva afterwards I'm sure he built a base yakov and then after I'm sure he built a mikvah and he built a school and so on and so forth this is the history of the Jewish people. First comes the Saddic and then comes the Baluva. First comes the child of Raul and then comes the child of Leia. The child of Raul goes into a world that is filled with Niss and somehow rather comes out on top and then afterwards Yehuda can come in and build CL Israel. And this is exactly how the end of days is going to play out. When I say the end of days, it's exactly 100% what we are witnessing in real time in front of our eyes. This is not some movie that we're watching from afar. This is a movie where we are the star actors and actresses. We're in the story right there, right in the center of everything. So, let's analyze and see if this is true. The first thing I want to ask you, is this back in mit? Are we back in? Is the world today the world of K? So I remember that many years ago and this did not make it into my book. Those of you who have bought my book, thank you very much. My book on the Rome Shapiro, I did not put this in because it was a little bit I politically incorrect but it can be misread. It can be put out of context. But I once came back from America and Rome Shapiro asked me as what did you see in America? Which means what was the inside? As I said in I just pointed out I said you see how American culture is going down from yeet. Yeah, it is beauty, classical music, theater, whatever it is, and it's going down to the to the the world of And he looked at me and said to me, okay, it's not going down to it's already it's already there. Okay, this is we are living here in America and in the world of this is nothing to argue with. I'm going to actually you can argue but I want to let me prove my case. What does it mean? We're living in the world of K just for the record for those of you that came to my share yesterday on Shapiro's world thoughts and we spoke about how he he viewed Kirov and how he viewed. So I did mention that we are in galismal and galismal and kam are intimately connected because mother was hagar bas parro parro is from we always forget that the mitzim were from the mitz when were in Egypt whoever you picture in in in the coloring books what the Egyptians look like it's not what they look like they were the children of that's exactly what they looked Like and that is where this finds himself as we say in our dening and it is brought down into this is the world of so I want to I want to sell my case just a little bit more if I can. I I as you all know from last night I grew up in London. I said I I went to theaters and I went to opera. Opera for me was a was like a punishment. The school took us to opera. I don't never quite understood why I had to watch huge Italian women dying slowly and then singing about it. I mean it's just like it was ridiculous thing. I think half my class started smoking dur because they couldn't deal with it. They just went out. It it was it was terrible. It was absolutely terrible. But at least you know it was a sense of culture and tvot and stuff like that. Um, today you have a look at the culture. Things that what I grew up on were considered impossibly lowly. Today is the norm. We spoke about this at the meal that the genius of evil is that you get used to things. I give you an example. I work um also in basakos. I teach these young ladies. I don't go like in the top top. I don't want to say that. I obviously think that all my students are top top, but I like students who are struggling because I feel and maybe I can help them. I just I look for people where I feel that I can be part of their journey. And a young lady comes up to me and she says to me, "Rabbi Nissle, should I or should I not get a tattoo?" That's what she said. She's already out of seminary when she asked me this. She was going through stuff and uh she said, "Don't give me that. The Torah says it's forbidden. I need better than that." Whatever. Okay. So I could have quoted the the great Kim Kardashian who who says that why we don't want to put want to put a bumper sticker on a Cadillac. All right, that was her her big kma. I said something else. I gave this whole speech about how um did you ever ever like something um one year and still like the same thing three years later? I just asked be honest with me. You know, fashion's changed. Whatever you clothing you wore three years ago, would you wear it now or would you say it's no longer in style? Would whatever you do now to your body, you're stuck with it for the rest of her life. What I want to share with you is the question itself shook me all over. I never believed there would come a time where I mannis would have to have a conversation with the basak of goal about a tattoo. I grew up in London. A tattoo was associated with the lowest strata of society, the proverbial sailors. This is what it was. It was the little tattoo parlor in Soho in in central London. That was it. It wasn't for regular people. Today, you know, David Beckham, he goes around your Pierre Trudeau, all these people that are considered uh um mainstream, normal, healthy, they get it. What's going on with this world? Another example, last year I spoke to a basaku girl and something happened to me for the first time is that she used a word, a swear word beginning with the letter F in her talking and that did not shock me. What shocked me is that she didn't immediately apologize that she's talking to a rabbi. Normally kids, they get heated up and they slip a swear word and immediately say, "Sorry, Rob. Yeah, you look shocked." But she didn't even notice that she said it. She just didn't even know. And now I realize this probably they the way they talk to each other in the dorms and she just feels felt very comfortable talking to me and she just said that word and didn't step back and say I can't believe when I was growing up again Mitch you and I grew up between the Civil War and Vietnam. It's a long long time ago when I was growing up. So I would go to the cinema. I grew up in London and they would say warning 26 minutes into the movie you're going to hear a swear word you know you may want to cover your ears you know shalom you shouldn't hear n I had this weird statistic I don't know when I wrote this class this this movie must be 10 years old by now I don't know anything about this movie except it's considered super duper mainstream it was called the wolf of Wall Street and it had 538 uses of that pre pre-entured word in the movie. It's something like once every 60 40 seconds that word came up. So it's a different world that we live in. Another example is clothing. Um, I'm not saying that the clothing I grew up in the 70s was mubad mubad, but today that look that you just freshly fought with a tiger, you know, whatever it is, it's like you see people who come from very wealthy homes and they look like that nabuk and they're carrying all their Gucci bags and the jeans that they're wearing looks like that they just, you know, cozied up to some kind of a bear. It's ripped all over the place. Now, I would never do this, but I imagine the conversation would go like this. It says, "Excuse me, do you think that you look good with wearing ripped jeans?" And they would say to me, "Rabbi, you'll never understand." And I would say back to them, "Absolutely yes." I would never understand. There's no way I can understand why you you feel you look good looking ripped. This is it. I come from Yapes. They are living in the world of Kam. Um just one more example and then I want to get to my main point. Do you want to ask him to stop talking to be quiet? Um one more example is music. So once again, I'm not saying that the music that you and I grew up on in the 1970s, the Gorisha music, I don't think that it was the lyrics were about um how you can get close to Kesh Bar except for maybe country music. The lyrics are very very lowly, but the lyrics were poetry. It was poetry. So at the end of the day, you could sit there in a college class and and and learn of like you're learning. What did the the eagles mean in hotel California? Right. Did they mean this way? What was that? It's like a whole shakaria. Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne and ice. What exactly were they referring to? So, but today literally, excuse my French, the lyrics is basically it's like biology class. Can I explain to you? Today, we'll be discussing the female anatomy. So, this is the music that we're listening to today. And guess what? Kids love it. They are perfectly comfortable living in the world of this is the the world that they live in. So let me summarize what I've said so far. But before I do that, one more example of loneliness. And this is I think the most important of all. And that's the concept of malus. So you all know that um I'm European. When her majesty the queen died, I mourned, not so much for her, but I mourned the fact that Mulus had come to an end in Europe. At least that's the way I felt, thousands of years of European Mulus, the great monarchs of France, the Hapsburgs of Germany, all these great kings and queens that had run Europe uh with all their fanfare and their beautiful palaces. It had come to an end because they were basically taking their malus from the malus of cla Israel and I felt strongly that the malus was now going to be given back to Israel and the next great king in the world will be the meal mashiach. So the the the the the tears that I had for the queen was really the tears of of of wanting of desire of of longing for the true meal to finally come back. Meanwhile, we live in a world without malus. I hope I'm not offending anyone, but the malus in England today is nothing more than a commercialized joke. There's nothing to talk about. There's no grander. there's no pump in circumstance that you can look up and imagine that you can make a braha of what you see down here to remind you of what there is up there and what there will be for CL in the future here in America. I hope um no one over here will be offended, but um you can't call our president a mel when he tweets or whatever it's called that he does when he tweets from the toilet. That's it. Okay. 30 seconds after something has gone through his mind, it's already the whole world has to know it and it's written in the language of a teenager. This is the way it is. So it could be that he's emotional. It could be he's extremely powerful. It could be he's extremely smart and it could also be we have tremendous to him but malus it's not there's no champions what means a proper mel which comes that a person looks at them and wants to stand up for them because they feel that in the presence that has given a little bit of his own malus to bas you don't feel that over there interestingly America is the only great power that comes from Asov that never had a mal in the first place. It was built as a democracy with a president. It's an interesting thing. I I it was my own thought that it's the only the final expression of Edom. As we all know, America is the last great stand of the children of Edom of the 10 different um combinations and permutations of Edim. The last one is America as taught us. It's without Malus. It's without Malus. So what does this mean for us? It means that we are now deep into the world of Kam. And the world of Kam is exactly the way it was in the time of when Yseph came down. And what we need now is the sadikim to come along and to bring the Mel Mashiach. This is what's called for those of you just joining us. Mashiach bin is the one that will bring Mashiach bin David. I just realized now I didn't properly explain myself. Romeshap my rabbi always felt it was healthy to think of Mashiach bin Yoseph not as a person but rather as an idea. I don't know if you know the history of Mashiach Bose but it's been highly highly distorted throughout history and Napoleon people thought that he was the Malik Mashiach Theodor Herzel people Mashiach Bose is a very very um um distorted concept. The Rambam doesn't even mention him. You won't even find it in the writings of the Rambam. Um my reb said if I'm not mistaken he said okay I have an allergy to the concert of Mashiach bose just in other words basically what we see today it basically triggers me in the wrong direction but what is good is to think of him as people like the people in this room like the people in this room who step ahead and say I'm going to be the tadic I'm going to be in the land of kam and I'm going to fight against a very very very difficult and challenging environment. So I want to share with you my most powerful story about this topic with my rebu Shapiro at this point. Now you all know that I work for the NCSY um organization. Um I my specialtity is called Olami launch. I helped senior public school kids spend a year in Eritis. Couple years ago I was in distur at least 10 years old. I was in national yaki kala. Those say they didn't have tar town. Those days it was everything was done in in Connecticut. And a young man comes up to me and says to me I want to talk about my year in yeshiva but I need to talk to you privately. Fine. We go into a side room and he told me which something which was then unusual. Today it is more usual. He spoke about that he has challenges in um I don't know how to say this delicately but he is um he's only attracted to his own gender. I was going to say we're all adults so he's only attracted to his own gender and he doesn't think that it's appropriate for him to go to yeshiva. Now in those days this was all beginning and I looked at this young man and I said to him I don't know if I said the right thing or not. I said to him, "Honestly, if I was in your shoes, I would run away. I I would literally run away. I would I would move to the Midwest. Go and find yourself a cheerleader. Whatever is makes sense with him, but I'm saying that go find yourself a friend. Go out. Do do your own thing. We Jews, we we're not good. We're not good with people like you. We don't really know what to do." Unfortunately, I remember discussing this with Rabasha Weiss literally last week. Rabbash Weiss says we need to show compassion to these people. These people are going through tremendous struggles. They're they're yidden. They also were there. We need to give them love and to give them as much disrespect as we can. I was discussing a certain issue that I was going through um in this area. So, I said to him, we're not good at that. Again, please do not take this personally, but in our own backyards, we tend to be judgy. If somebody comes into our community, they're different from us. They feel judged. They feel judged. And I said, "It's not going to work for you. You're not going to get married. You're going to be that person that's invited to people for Shabas and you see they're whispering to their kids something about you. You're going to feel uncomfortable. Get out of here." This is what he then he says to me the following words. He said to me, "Niss, let me tell you something about me. I'm not an idiot. I know there's a God. I know that there must have been a heni. It doesn't make sense that God created the world without a reason. I know if there's a heni, there has to be rabbitical Judaism that somehow brings the world of heni to the meal mashiach. I know there's going to be an olhab. I know that everything that you teach is the truth. Nothing else makes sense. I also know that my feelings I have to control them and I will do my best because that's what the Torah wants for me. Can it still work for me to go to yeshiva? Now fast forward. By the way, his story has a relatively good ending because yeshiva did take him in and they were incredibly incredibly wise and sensitive in how they did everything. And I actually lost touch with this man. But I want you to stay with me because a few days later I'm back in. It's Friday. I'm driving as I did over many, many years. I drove him to the mikvah and back. I get to ask him my questions. I said, "This is the scenario that happened to me. It's never happened to me before. Did I or did I not say the right thing?" When I told this young man that I would try and help him, I actually told him that you're a hero in my eyes. I told him that it's remarkable your clarity of thinking. I told him a lot of nice things, but was the general approach correct? And Romesh looked at him with his love I mean with his loving eyes said you didn't handle this well. I said, "Oh my gosh." Okay, this is my Shapiro. Okay, he didn't handle this. So what should I have said? Listen to this my dear friends. Listen to the words of an autumn godle of a great man. He said this is what you should have told him. You should have told him that the Malik Mashiach is very close. The Malashia is coming very very soon. And when he comes we're all going to go out and greet him. We're all going to go out and and and to meet the Malik Mashiach and the Russ and the Gdolei Hadar and and and and uh and Rabiosi of Project Inspire, all the big people in Cla are going to be right up there shaking his hands. But Malik Mashia is going to say, "No, no, no, no. I want to go in and hang out with the people. I love I love the people. I love Cla Israel." He's going to go in with his loving eyes, completely not judging every single Jew. And he's going to go up and say, Where are you from? I'm from Englewood, New Jersey. Nice to meet you. What's your name? He's going to go from person to person. When he comes to this young man and he asks him, "Who are you?" Tell him that Rome Shapiro says, he should answer with the following words. He should say, "I am the one that brought you here." That's what you should say. I am the one that brought you here. This is Allah Sadikim. This is these are the heroes that uh Mashiach that's going to bring Mashiach that's going to bring and it's going to bring the so and once again I don't know who's in front of me but I'm sure there are people like this in front of me as well. people who are in the in in the mud of Adam that here living here in Mitim 2026 version here we have inspire 2.0 this is mitim 2.0 zero. This is it. We're now in it. We're now in mit. And there are people that are going through challenges that previous generations, they wouldn't have lasted a moment. For those of you my age group or within 20 years of my age, we would not last in the age of the internet. We wouldn't be able to do what these young people, these young heroes are doing in the world of social media. This is in its purity in its most potent way and there are young men and young women who are saying I can I can overcome I can prevail. So that's theim what's so I have in my mind a whole pantheon of heroes that are around today who are doing things that literally against tea I already mentioned are people with incredibleness that overcome them who are theim so one of the are people that do what does it mean that people do so once again you don't has to go further than where we are right now. Project Inspire, our our leadership, this is what they're doing is they just want to do they just want to help people. They started an organization to be able to bridge people like us with people who are not as fortunate as us to be able to have access to terror and to bridge the two. So these are all the people in your neighborhood who opened up a who opened up a hat who went out and did things and they shaped the world. people like Friedman who are the of the world that ask themselves at any given moment what can I do more for the Jewish people that's what cannot possibly be referring to the because they already had their own bra so I understand these are the people that went out and built me honestly I would rather donate one of my body parts to science than do what these people do building is yeshivas. I have a son, some of you know him. He has shiva called in he he could triple inside tomorrow. This is not a request for money, but I'm just telling you. But he sits there at any given moment looking to his head. He's thinking about tomorrow's share that he has to give. And how's he going to pay his rebel? And honestly, I see he's turning white. He's like, I I think I have less white hair than he does because he has the oil of a yeshiva on on his shoulders. It's a crazy thing. Let's keep going. I'll play to saf. That's the rabbis. This is now I want to put myself in. Let me give myself a shout out. Plus sam are the people the rebies we don't do it for this for the money no offense to all my employers but yeah ask mind this doesn't work that way every single this why I have to sell my books we don't do this for the money it's hard for us we do this because we love your children we do this because there's no greater honor and pleasure than to be able to help a Jewish child go from place A to place B what's next gay or athetic these are the craziest people on the planet I had a girl Net. They wanted to do a documentary about her because she was from this famous family, this famous this and famous that. And she said to me, "Rabbi Nissl, should I do this documentary?" I says, "Why not?" And then she says to me, "What attracted me to Judaism is the Jewish concept of modesty." And I don't think that me being in a movie fits in with that narrative. And I'm thinking to myself, how can a young lady who already what takes normally 18 years of Jewish education to get there? That's Gatk. And finally, we get to Alenu. So just for those joining us, the heroes that bring Mashiachim, the ones that overcome the ones that build organizations like Project Inspire Zikra, people building moist, the Rebies, Gerk, these incredible people, they give up a life which is normal to live a life where only Jews can consume so much food over a weekend. No one understands how we do it. We are an And then we understand the words. What does Veno mean? Valenu means if I don't fit into those five categories. If I identify these people as being my heroes, I'm one of them. These are my people. The moment you identify that these are my people, you become part of them. You are your friends. You are the people that you hang out with. You are the people they identify with. That's the And then we say, we ask them for their it doesn't mean the in the next world. Of course, they're going to get in the next word. We want to see that these crazy people somehow or rather in our eyes we can see that what they did is judging them favorably, is smiling at them. I want to finish off, but just to connect it to Purim, I bet you that Morai hated going on that white horse on the streets of Shushon. First of all, for a very simple reason, any picture ever that you've ever seen of Aashro, he's always a plus-sized monarch. Think about it. Think of your coloring books. Modai is just like, you know, little satle stuff like that. And Aasher is this huge big. He must have looked ridiculous wearing Akasherish's clothes. No wonder he wanted to get back to his sackloth and ashes. It's just a joke, Mitch. It's just a joke. The bottom line is is that we needed to see with our own eyes that these crazy people that go against the whole world. Everyone said you are a fanatic. Everyone says you're the source of our problems and he brings the ghoul up. We want to be able to see this with our own eyes. So let me summarize what I came to say. I don't want this to be just a theoretical class. I want this to be real on two levels. First of all, every single person here when you dra today, you see the blockad you say finally understand what this block is all about. I want to do what this weekend has taught me to be some kind of a hero, some kind of a person who in my own little world can do something extra. If I can't be the sadikim, maybe the don't do don't be don't go into I'm not I can't do this to you. I love you guys too much. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You go into if you want to do that. The bottom line is people that do these things notices you're immlaying the fertile soil for what's going to be the ultimate gula. And all that's left for me to say is that it's people like ourselves and it's movements like Project Inspire that are going to be able to what we saw last night. We saw this last night. I don't know how they did this. I was sure that Rabiosi was going to bring, I don't know, resurrect Elvis from the dead or at least bring the Melik Mashiach. I thought it was going to happen last night. Something big or Mr. Beast. Somebody was going to come in. But it's people like this. It's moments like this that remind us about how fortunate it is to be part of Israel and she would be to be able to come to bring the holy city from the higher realms down to the lower realms and then we can all greet with the coming of Msiahu. Amen. Thank you.
