What I'm figuring to do is this Sunday
is and uh we celebrate two personalities
one more than another but we do
celebrate two personalities. We
celebrate
um naturally it's his stalkus is it yard
site and everybody knows the big zo and
so forth that tells about how he passed
away and he told us and so forth but
it's also a day that's connected to a
for a variety of reasons not the least
of which that was one of right it says
that had
24,000 who died
in a very short period of time
because there was a deficiency
inv that's
the and he collected five and he was
reestablished
and these were the of and one of them
was um so for these reasons has a
connection
with so what I did was I copied from a
safe there's a book that I have it's
like an encyclopedia of the biographies
of
the people who prepared the
encyclopedias I don't know exactly how
holy they
were
insulted
Um so I again the people who prepared
these these
have problems with their in
the but all we're going to do are pis
we're going to we're going to
read which
is to discuss life and the various
facets of life. I don't think that
you're about to hear something you
haven't heard before but I think this is
a wonderful way in preparation for
to journey through the life of using a
handful of
my statements and episodes of the and
therashim about you'll notice that I
numbered them if through and then
there's which either will or will not
get to so on the bottom of the first
page the very very bottom you have alf
right and of course the famous story as
you know
is would live for 120
was a shepherd
by who lived in Kabu was a a god a very
very rich man very very well respected
man by
the by the Romans and he had a
daughter and Rahul was the daughter of
this very very wealthy person but she
had this very very special and deep
um appreciation patient
for and she noticed that although he was
a shepherd and a poor person and
unlearned even she noticed that that
Rabika is unusual in his adite and his
finest of character and so forth. So she
proposed to Abiaka that he should go
learn. And she said to
Abaka, "If if you will go learn, I'll
marry you." Which was so brazen. It was
so amazingly disconnected. Here was a
girl who was a daughter of the richest
person in all, one of the richest
people. And here was a shepherd who was
old. He was 40 years old. And she
proposed to him that she would marry him
if if he would go learn ta. And did it
he was and he went to learn tada. She's
a very unusual woman. I mean is not the
word and of course sorry of course they
had
children was their son was
bald something
called the son of the bald one that's
you don't want to call him because
somebody else already has that name so
they added yeah had children sure and it
says that he had a daughter who had the
same character of
his but was not so quick to go learn
when made proposition to him because he
felt like it was a lost cause. I mean,
how can he ever succeed until the
following episode occurred? This is a
medish at the very very bottom of the
first page, three lines from the bottom
where I made my olive p. It happened
once. He was standing next to the mouth
of a fountain of a
well. He saw a
stone that was bored. A hole was bored
in the stone from the drip. Right? There
was water apparently dripping from a
higher source to a lower source. And
there had been a stone that was there
naturally. It may have been there for
hundreds and hundreds of years, perhaps
thousands of years. And the drip had
created in the stone an a hole, an
inverse, you know, an indentation.
So made for
himself though he was 40 years old. He
says im
water so
soft we're able to carve like the word
soul a hard
stone words of hard and tough as iron
and
steel much more so that they can
carve my
heart which is of the flesh. So the
say him and his son went they sat in a
taught he held one side of the chart and
he held the other side of the
chart. So the Muhammad wrote for them
the whole
alphabet went home and he rehearsed it
until he memorized the base and then he
went to another to teach him something
else all on his own. He was continuing
to learn and to go
learn to now you know and I know did not
have an ordinary was a very very
special naturally obviously you don't
become I
mean if you made a list of the five mo
most important Jews in Jewish
history starting
with five most important Jews in the
history of the Jewish world
yeah would be on that list that's How
exclusive that's how great was it wasn't
just his personal greatness his
contribution to the is historic historic
the whole of
is all about one man until 40 years old
he didn't know he was an amazing amazing
personality but what is so remarkable
about his life and the ever used to tell
the children this was how he was so
persevering he was so determined he was
never ashamed and he never gave up and
he kept on working and he worked and he
worked and his desire to have the em was
so infinite was with this that he
reached
in this is the story
of said I may be old and I may be dumb
but if if a stone can be bored by water
I can can penetrate my mind and now of
course we have to go back to the story
of his wife if his go back to the first
page please and we're going to
several of the that surround his wife.
The story of course was that when her
father heard that she had allowed
herself to become
betrothed, he made a that he wouldn't
give her a pen. He threw her out of the
house. So the say that it was winter
time.
Okay. You see when I made my B and then
I made a one next to it, three lines
above. It was winter time
for they couldn't find a place to live
except a mat means a silo, a place where
you store wheat and
grain. So there's hail around. He was
picking the hair the straw out of her
hair. He says to his wife, "If I had the
power, I would make for
you was a
crown of gold that had what we would
call today the um the skyline of like
you have the skyline of of Manhattan and
the Mishna talks about after the base in
English was destroyed, people stopped
using when went to her she wore this
crown. You see by the by the still have
this custom but it says in the that we
don't do it anymore to remember the but
this is
before says to will make for you if I
had the money I would make for you and
all she had
was anyway the end of the story is
that his wife had encouraged him but she
went to learn for 12
years and abhua of course the two great
teachers of where Horinus
and each one of them was a story unto
himself. Hanus was like
he ran away from home
right
was before he was even born his mother
was planning that he's going to be and
as an infant she would bring his cradle
into the base that he should be in
environment of they would of you have a
sense
was
of one of the
of Yeshua
In any case, he she had permission. He
gave she gave him permission to leave
home 12 years. Can you imagine a wife
who's living in a barn with a little
baby just her husband go for 12 years
and come
back? What
happened? At the end of the 12 years, he
comes
home. He sees an old man saying to his
wife, "How long are you going to be like
a widow in the life of your husband?"
Right? is called an almon. They call it
a living widow. Your husband is alive
and you're a widow. 12 years haven't
seen her husband
says she says to
him listen to
me had he listened to
me. He would sit for 12 years. Think
about this girls what it means to
love. Here's a Jewish woman. She's not
going to learn. She's not becoming the
scholar.
She loves so much. She's sacrificing her
life and the life of her children that
her husband should learn. What
does say to
himself? Since I was granted permission,
I'm going to go back. He doesn't even go
in to say hello. He hasn't seen his wife
in 12 years. He hears through the window
how she says to a neighbor that if he
would listen to me, he would study for
12 more years. So he takes this as an
indication that this is the right thing
to do. He goes back and learns for 12
more years and she waits for him for 12
more
years. So he went
again she sat 12 years
in after 24 years not seeing his wife
all this time she was so impoverished
said that she used to collect the
undigested food from the waste of
animals. That's how poor she was.
He came back with an army
24,000. His wife heard that is coming.
Her husband now became
the rash and so
forth. Her neighbor said to
her she was wearing
rags. But now by now after at first
people thought that she was crazy to
stay married to this man. But now's fame
had reached such great levels. So her
neighbors say, "You know, your husband
is the greatest of the generation. Maybe
you should look like go get some
clothes, look like a mench." And she
says, "No, no, I'm fine. Just the way I
am." She says to
them, "The sadic knows the soul of his."
In other words, we're we're we're
together and his and my dress match. And
that's how it has to be.
When she reached him, she felt she bowed
down to
him. So they pushed her away. This this
this bag lady, this homeless woman is
coming
to leave
her. What's ours and what's yours is
hers. All of our
issues. Now if you'll turn the page the
bottom of the first
column it says what
happened what happened that became the
and
his now regretted having disowned him
okay so if you look at the bottom of the
first column let's say about if you made
the five and the B and the dash five
right so a few lines before that it says
became famous for
his regretted, he questioned, he doubted
the legitimacy, the credibility, the
justice of disowning his daughter.
So he went
to gave half his wealth and in one day
his became multi multi
multi-millionaires became
wealthy. He remembered the promise he
had made to her a quarter of a century
before. He made her made a crown of gold
with the um skyline
of his student said, "How pretentious,
how
extravagant's wife
need a gold crown like
this?" He said, "You're embarrassing all
of us. We can't buy our wife's jewelry
at all, let alone something." So,
extravagant. So he said to
them that
she suffered for my and she deserves
this. She has this coming. This is the
beginning of AKA's life. How she pushed
him and he went to learn based on this
from the sighting of the stone and so
forth. This is the beginning of
life. Now we talk about itself. Now
girls, you have to remember the times of
shas things were not written down.
Everything was
oral. So there was a very very different
emphasis and priority in how people
learned. First of all, you had to
remember everything. So all the that you
learned you would repeat and repeat and
repeat. There was an an enormous amount
of memorization. People say the says you
learn this in people normally repeated
things a hundred times over and over and
over again. But there was another thing
that was very very different about their
learning than our learning and that is
an unbelievable amount of attention was
paid to
the you go into many yeshivas today boys
learn and they never open a because it's
not important you're learning you're
learning you're learning but then the
whole was the analysis of the words of
the and
the their whole issue was they started
the Tanakh. I mean to say they knew the
Tanakh by heart is an insult. They broke
it apart. They cut it up into tiny
pieces and put it back together and
seived it and seived it and seived it to
get out the that's written into Hashem's
book. gave us a it's a very small but in
the nobody worked as hard as in
analyzing the individual words and
letters of the in other
words the whole mission is based on the
we
studied the analyzed the nobody was so
devoted to the analysis of the
individual words and letters of like and
that's why his understanding of exceeded
all the his was deeper and higher
because he was so careful so committed
there was no such thing as I understand
enough's world he was obsessed with
finding more and more secrets in the so
let's read a few to this effect that
described now that we described how
became let's now discuss how learned
So we're doing gible. It's the second
column page 728. It says like this the
tell
us that he would listen to his teachers
and you'll soon see soon see a few
characteristics of a style of learning
which are truly unique. I mean the talks
about different ways that people learned
and was very unique for various reasons.
He would go and sit by his rabbis and
study and listen to them. Okay. And then
second line from the
and he would go home and he would study
it. And he wouldn't just study what his
teachers taught him, but he would take
what his teachers taught him to the next
level, the next level to
that. Why is this alf written in
the why is this letter B written in
the why is this word written in
the go back and he asked his
teachers and he gave his teachers new
depth new clarity new insight
into how
analyzes I don't have time to give you a
long version of this but today in
yeshivas sit and analyze How come the
Mishna has an extra word? How come has
an extra word? But the Mishna is a few
steps away from
the was closer to
analyzed word for word and letter for
letter and he showed
his you're not going deep enough. You're
not breaking apart in enough detail to
squeeze out all the that's hidden in
there and to find more and deeper and
higher and so forth. was the master of
the analysis
of okay and on the next page we
read okay you see how I number them on
page
729 we're going to read another thing
about which is very interesting there's
a that describes the different ways that
the learned okay and I'm going to
explain it to you in very simple words
you guys go to school and your teachers
teach you things now there's a
difference between how we learn how they
learned primarily
Because the style of learn that existed
back then was
predominantly teach them basically what
we would call small little passages of
statements of
ideas. There's also the the uh the
Talmud the how those were reached by
analyzing but they were taught and there
were different styles of there wereim
who didn't know that much but what they
knew they knew clearly say that Mishn
was mean to say he didn't he didn't
teach us a lot of what he taught us was
pure and each had his strength some only
pursued one part
Yeud's that great one only learned is
business law you know
without and sometimes I met different
styles different approaches
um the reason people different
approaches because your mental capacity
if you go to school and your teachers
give you too much information your brain
short circuits you shut down you get
nervous you get apprehensive you can't
think you'd rather hear fewer pieces of
information and get them straight or if
he teaches us a lot of things you'll pay
attention to the parts that interest you
and just neglect the rest. Had an
unbelievable unusual
characteristic. He had an ability to
take everything as said, but he wasn't
the only one who had that
characteristic. There were
other calls
him had this ability to hear everything
the teacher said, but had another
ability and that was when this teacher
spoke, he shut up and he listened. He
just took it all in and then he went
home and sorted it all out. In other
words, some people who listen to
teachers, the organized types, they
can't hear too much. The people with the
great memorize can collect all the
facts, but they leave the facts just the
teachers gave them. Combine both of
these strength. Let's read what the say
about you
see the compiler of the Mishna who was a
spiritual grandson
of
was
amongst so he used to
call a treasury that's bum that's closed
and sealed and I I I should look up the
gim but the The way I understand it is
sometimes people are a treasury of
stuff. People have a lot of information
and they themselves don't know what they
have. The aka on the one hand was a
treasury full of information. But at the
same time his
comprehension of of the enormous volume
of knowledge in all areas of tenn that
he collected in him was so organized and
so systemized and so deep. He had it all
figured out and put into what's called
in English departmentalization. He put
everything in respective places. So the
continue what they
say, what would you compare
to? A worker goes out into the field
with a
basket. You find wheat, you put it in
the
basket. You find B, you put it in the
basket. You
find is spelt, you put it in the basket.
Pull. Pull is type of beans. You put it
in. Means lentils. You put it
in. You come back
home. You separate. The wheat goes in
one
place. The goes in another
place. This is what did when he listened
to his teachers. He had the uncanny
ability to listen to whatever his
teacher said. His teachers talked about
any part of they never said, "I'm not
familiar with this. I don't know it. I'm
not comfortable with it. You're making
me nervous. I'm bored by it. I'm
overwhelmed by it. When his teachers
taught just kept quiet and he absorbed
he took it all in and then he went home
and he sorted it all out. Then he
made he organized into rings into small
little subsections. This is
greatness would then impart this
greatness to his and different took
different areas of god luca but aka
compiled it all. He got it all together.
First he collected information and then
he systemized information.
combined a great memory, a great
capacity for lots of knowledge and deep
analytical power. That's that's really
very
unusual. And one of Akiva's great gifts
was his analysis of words and letters.
Nobody was as picky, was as precise in
analyzing individual words and letters
like was. And look at number
Hey. Okay. Look at number eight. This
this is not not that
important. A person separates separating
from the living because was a fountain
in a source. I wanted to show you a
different pistol. Okay? And that
is on page 732 by the Yalef. I I'm not
going to read the whole passage. I just
want to read you a few words, okay? that
the tell us that when he was ine showed
him the future and
amongst the people the future was I'm
reading now you see where I made
my about four lines down after
thee
says there is one
individual who's going to exist in many
generations
7:32 7:32 five lines past
the his name is going to be and as I'm
sure you girls know was a grandson of
gay Y's father by
this will in the future
analyze on each crown of the letters of
a
tin mountains and mountains piles and
piles
girls again long versions I don't have
sufficient time but I I try to give this
to you very very
briefly is Hashem's infinite
wisdom when you say that the potato
which is only 305,000 and change letters
Hashem's infinite wisdom obviously
Hashem is packing a lot of information
into these words and
letters is a small book if you buy a
without any it's a tiny little book you
can fit it in your small pocket is not
very large. The infinity of the is
the keep analyzing it. Keep the more you
examine the words and the letters. The
deeper you go into splitting the hairs
of the TA, the more you see the wisdom
of the TA is like splitting an atom. You
separate two letters and you have
energy. But TA has different levels. The
lowest level of the TA are the the
letters. The TA. The second level of TA
above it is called the T the crowns of
the TA. The crowns of the TA are not
actually written out. They're just
symbolized
in the third level of TA is called
the vowels. In a there's no vowels,
right? When you look at the word Omar
and say, you can read it in 100
different ways because there's no we
know it's Omar, but it can be read Amad
and Omar and A and A and so forth. And
part of the infinity of TA is this
ability to read the TA with all
different and the highest level is
called technically means the the music
but means
the expertise extended not just to but
to the to the here says would sit and
analyze the crowns. The crowns of are
much smaller than the letters. But for
reasons that that have to do
with and the less gashmic a part of is
the more light and wisdom there is in
it. Rabaka saw more in the crowns of the
TA than in the words and he saw even
more in the vowels of the TA than in the
crowns and he saw the most in the other
words reached the of we cannot begin to
understand how much of a understood and
the beginning of it was asking questions
wasn't lazy he analyzed and analyzed and
analyzed and analyzed the tells a story
there was a tan who undertook a
project to explain every word s in
the How many times they say the word S
in the taking away my lesson okay I'm
sorry
okay I won't do it no
um it
says ask a dumb
question
bother the S is
extra S you maybe have hundreds of S's
in
the this fellow named Shimha
under to analyze every S every single
S right
um what's the it's coming to include
you have to know what the S means each S
has to be so there was a fellow who was
Dish and he got into trouble came he
backed off came along and finished the
job he wasn't afraid this type of
analysis we we learned
We learned
that and if we really are interested we
could
find these S's and these hundreds of S's
in the but this was the kind of thing
was obsessed with words letters crowns
the everything he studied it starts with
the question it starts with not knowing
and wanting to know and then he was he
created and
also think about it Let's continue now.
There's no
question. It
says that in the time of
the
was and anybody could have become
great the world was an world. So in
other words everybody
had you wasted it. It was wasted. If you
exploited it, you become in other words
is that anybody could have become dead.
But it
was but 40 years
old together with his son.
It's dove now. So girls, we just
explored two areas of Aka's life. Number
one, his pursuits of TA and number two
his analysis of and of course number
three is his delving into the secrets of
the everybody knows about the
famous top of page 729
number he's the one he's the only one of
the four when the secret came out in
peace again this aim which is discussed
at great length and so forth. The Gimar
says that there is called something
called cotton
and there's a small and a large what's
considered the
small the deep intellectual labors of
analyzing that's called small things and
what's considered great and the secrets
of how hem created the world and in a
higher level still the secrets of the
abisher's throne and the says
He didn't
overlook
and
explor but you have to understand if
you're going to start exploring and you
have a holy sense of you have to be
careful. So the gum says that there
were that you know about four who
entered into the gardens of the secrets
of Ben and
Alisha and there was only one difference
between and the other three you guys are
teenagers in America you're very very
politically astute right old people
forgot about politics but you guys know
everything that's happening in the
neighbors. So one of the most familiar
terms in politics today is called exit
strategy had an exit strategy. When went
into the when he started to study
secrets of
says
translates
knew before he went in he made for
himself a plan that he shouldn't forget
that wanted to live in this world not to
run away from this world and end up in.
So though he was dabbling he was
exploring he was delving into he did it
in a protected way that he should come
back to doing mitzvah the other three
you mentioned it one of the girls
mentioned that Benazi hits his um he
passed away and Shim Benaz by the way
was son-in-law you know that
right Benazi married aba's daughter and
it's very interesting that uh she was
supposed to die the day of their
wedding Right. The famous story with the
serpent. Huh? With the needle, with the
pin because she did stuck it. The bottom
line is they were never married really.
Right after the wedding, Benaz says, "I
changed my mind. I don't want to be
married. I want to sit on all the time."
Even though it's a say to have children.
So somebody said
to wants a world. So he
says the world can be the mish were
never married. They had a kadush and he
immediately gave her a get. And the
interesting thing is that if not for the
fact that she had given daka, he
wouldn't have had to give her a get. In
other words, the aish's plan was that
Benazi should be the daughter and they
should never live together as man and
wife. But the original plan was that she
would die the day of their wedding and
Benaz would be in the end because of her
baz had to exercise and to say and the
is that if you're like Benaz that you
don't have to get married but only if
you're like Benaz otherwise you have to
get married and be married even an old
person is not supposed to live
without supposed to be married was a
very unusual man but he passed away
young and then Ben
was says he lost his mind and Alicia And
it became an and this was what was
unique
about discipline also loved he loved he
loved the light of the but the
discipline was love
the do what hashem wants not what feels
good not even what feels good in yiddish
made the great man that he was this is
about dabbling in the which is another
whole dimension of which we know very
little out the only thing we know
about has
quotes statements
of was his you don't need more than
that the father of the creator of the z
and so forth was the and the
says used to
say be happy that I and said be happy
that I and the know how great you are.
In other words, nobody else could
understand the greatness of but says but
I do. And then there's
another said learn my
says that this means learn my way of
learning because my is the best of the
best of
the in addition to
his and his depth in was also deeply
involved in which a very strong
connection to Msiah which leads us to
the fourth
point presided over in a very difficult
time you know one of the that's missing
in this pamphlet is the
famous rights
were the facts that he was walking with
his two friends and they they
saw they saw the great city of Rome
And then they came to the place of the
Bik and they saw a fox running through
what used to be the Now you have to
understand was in the
BT
was he was alive when the BT stood and
he watched it burn if not literally then
figuratively he when the mish was
destroyed the leader of was
his who was but nevertheless lived 120
years he was killed approximately 7
years after the soak was a 50-y old man.
He was no boy and he witnessed the so
for him it was a real thing and by the
holocaust the once told the survivor a
survivor once told the there was never
such a genocide of Jews like the
holocaust and the
said the destruction of was worse than
the holocaust. If you learn
the mentioned billions of Jews were
killed
but the said more Jews were killed was
destroyed than in then in the Holocaust.
It's a lot of Jews and witnessed this
and his friends are crying and
laughed. What are you laughing about?
There's something funny about it. So he
said just like these prophecies that
were fulfilled for sure the good
prophecies O you know will
sit and so forth will
bring he looked at the sard and he
anticipated the coming of
this and finally he had the
m the yen the was destroyed and the yed
remained in many of them did and there
was of course the yeshiv yav which the
Babylonian with the Romans was left
alone as the says and the king who ruled
during that period about seven years
after the was was extremely extremely
cruel to the Jews I think it's Nid but I
could be wrong I forgot what name of the
case it was
maybe Adonis case he was anx and he was
so cruel to the Jews he made they
couldn't learn t they couldn't do
anything his gaz was so terrible that he
forced forced the Jews to rebel. They
had no choice. They plots, you know, if
you're a dictator, you squeeze people,
but you don't want to squeeze too tight
because you want the people to to accept
your your brutality. If you become
overly brutal, you have nothing to lose.
And rebelled and you could
decry. He was so evil. It was
impossible. And was the god lad during
that period. And of course, there were
two parts to Aka's contribution to the
history as it unfolded. I want your
girls to understand something. This
happened around 70 years after
the and remember the second Bish was
built 70 years after the first B mikdish
was destroyed based on based on there
were many Jews who believed that 70
years after the Mashia come rebuilt. So
there are two pieces of contribution to
hatred's and
um and what happened to the first is his
support of Abaka um decided that it's
time for Mashia to come and he
supported's rebellion
right it's inab Yes, but it's also in
the so we're going to do now Z which is
on page
730. Okay.
Soaka said name they called him but
right means
star that it says
in see I made my little aster little bit
below
the look this
goes and the said that he
was he carried he
became he supported rebellion about was
a tough guy. It's a powerful leader. And
you should know he he he beat the Jews
into shape. He was a tough warrior. He
created a very powerful. If you know the
history, the Jews were great warriors.
The Jews
including time of Kanek. They weren't
nebs. They were tough tough warriors.
The unusual characteristic of Kaneka was
that it was the Kay who were fighting
wars. But they were very very tough
fighters, very very loyal. They fought
like lions. Baka whipped them into shape
and he made them all behave and people
got out of line. Mh was a very tough
ruler. I have a relative who happens to
be historian. They have documents wrote
where he's telling his generals that
they don't listen to him. He's going to
chop their fingers off. He's a tough
leader and he led the Jews in rebellion
against Andreon. But there's one thing
you shouldn't forget about. very
important
detail was a shabas
and he was
aid he
kept and although the kazal
the were to him he was the king and they
were just the rabbis he was okay but he
was aid who fought and respected and
honored and lived for this is
why that holds that wasn't wrong the
whole is is did make a mistake in saying
that was a mashiah or not? So was wrong.
He miscalculated. Posing wrong says
no had qualifications because according
to the to be mashia you don't have to
perform miracles to be mashia have to be
a big to mashia you have to be aid who
fights for yishkite that's it was aid
who fought for yiddish because the the
msiah this is something that the girls
have to learn in
the is revolves around all about the Oh,
Mashiach is Yiddish. It's not about
meeting your bubby and your bubby and
having your favorite candy and not
gaining weight. Mashiach is about to and
who was not at he was a
general and he listened to the and he
was loyal to the doesn't say he was a
bad man says he died because of his
sins. So we know that he was he was a
good Jewish king but Mashia he isn't.
But the Raam holds that the Maka was
correct in assessing with Mashiach
because the model of Mashiach of Raaka
which is the model of Mashiach of that
Messiah's to fight for Jews and Judaism.
When they started the Jewish state,
people were screaming that this
is and the said how could it be?
Mashiach
the you have Jews who don't believe in
whose whole role is to destroy and that
you're calling the beginning
of not because he was a not because he
had not because he could fly because he
was aid who fought for and he had a
chance to succeed and that's what held
he was mashia and of course the rest of
the story girls is of course the famous
story is giving his life for the end was
a
Sorry. Yeah. He was one of If you can go
to the bottom of page 7:30, we're doing
now. Okay.
Right. Well, he's he had a little help
with the over there. The was a little
bit he used opportunity instead of being
murdered. He died.
It sounds so easy when you say it.
When I say it, it doesn't sound so easy.
I don't know why.
Okay.
Says not afraid of the
government. This is a
famous
himsh. What does this compare
to a fox is walking on the bank of a
river. He sees
fish that are collecting, hurting,
right? They're schooling. They're
shulling. And they're dashing around.
Have you ever seen a fish that's not
nervous? Every fish is nervous because
all the fish is nerves. Fishes are not
very sophisticated
animals. Says the facts of the fish,
what are you dashing around
for? It's because of the
nets and the other people are bringing
upon us to capture
us. Says the fox to the fish. Oh, you're
afraid of the nets. No problem. If you
so
desire the dry
land together like foxes live in what's
called layers, underground holes and
maybe the dark and moist be very
comfortable for the
fish like my parents live with your
parents. I don't know what that
means. So the fish said to the fox, "Are
you that one?
that you're the wisest of all the
animals. You're no wise man. You're a
fool. This is the place where we can
live. We're
afraid in a place of certain death. You
want to give us safety and security.
Allah has come
over us also at this
moment. We sit and
learn gives us life and long
days. We're risking our lives to
study. If we don't learn, we're going to
die for
sure.

story this is a story that happened in
the holocaust a thousand
times happened was in
jail. Yeshua was his
servant. Every day they brought him a
certain amount of water and part of the
water he used to wash his hands and part
of the water he used to
drink. One
day the guard finds him bringing in this
normal ration of
water. There's too much water in that
barrel.
Maybe you're using the water to moisten
the earth so you can excavate your way
out of jail.
He spilled out half the water but he
gave half a
ration. So then he brings the remaining
water. He tells what this what this
Hitler
did
say give me the
water so I can wash. This is what
happened with the Eb's father. You
should know he had a cup of water used
it for negas and didn't drink it.

thing. There's not enough water for you
to drink and keep your body and soul
together. You're going to wash your
hands. What am I to
