Everybody, I'm here by the holy grave of the area Kadosh and the Rabbi Moshe Cordovero and Rabbi Alkabetz and so many others here in this holy place here in Safed. I'll take you on a very short tour with me. But I wanted to take the opportunity to wish you all a happy and kosher Pesach. I just finished praying here. I was here for a few hours mentioning a lot a lot of the names that people submitted. And this place is so peaceful and so beautiful and so holy that I wanted to take the opportunity to wish you all happy and kosher Passover wherever you are. You should protect you, provide you. May you have a wonderful amazing kosher Pesach and should provide you with everything that you need health, happiness, sustenance, healthy body. Today marks the 25 years exactly that I had my near-death experience and Pesach. The day that changed my path and brought me to the path of the Torah, the path of my mind. I'm so grateful to and I wanted to take the opportunity to bless you all from this beautiful place here in Israel in the holy city of Safed. And also after 25 years of doing Torah to tell you that is so kind and so merciful and all we need to do is just to do one little step and does the rest for us. After 25 years of learning Torah and spreading Torah, I can tell you that tonight on Pesach is such a powerful day where we can all leave our spiritual slavery, our physical slavery, the slavery of all the bad habits that we have of things that are not good in our life. And to change our path completely. But it requires from us very deep introspection of our own behavior. And to figure out where did I mess up? Where did I do wrong? What do I do wrong? Where do I want to reach? What's the path I want to walk on? And when you look inside yourself in a true humble and humility way and you can easily point out the things where you feel that you failed and where you want to fix. But you have to do it with true with true humility. And when you do that, when you look deep down in your soul and you recognize your faults and you recognize your shortcoming and you hope for a total different path. When you do that especially tonight on that's when you can leave your mind. Your is the place of your limitations. Your limitations whether it's in the spiritual level, in the physical level. But is the day that you leave your limitations. It's the day that you can break free from any type of slavery that you have and start a new path. And when you decide to do that, when you really want to do that, that's when does it for you and he helps you. And I can testify that after 25 years of working real hard with learning Torah and accepting into my life and looking into my faults and looking to the bad things that I did in my life and looking at myself, reflecting, thinking and taking good decisions. So I can tell you that after 25 years of very hard work all you need to do is to look at yourself. To look at the mirror, look inside your mind and recognize the things that you are not happy with. And to pray for and tell him this is what I want to change. This is the path I want to go on. I want to get rid of this and that and these habits and that those bad things that I do. And tonight is the night after we sit in the little seder in a few hours we're going to do little seder. And we we we pray to and at the end of the little seder that's where you want to do this introspection. It's called nefesh. And when you do it with true humility with true love the power of little seder and the power of Pesach you can break through any limitation you have in your life. Anything that you want to get rid of tonight is the night and I can testify that after 25 years it works. So I want to take the opportunity to wish you all true happiness, true health, strong health. May you have true love to true fear to may you able to do true in this world and fix all your blemishes and walk on the path of the Torah and the path of humility and path of success and the path of the Torah. You should bless you with everything that you need strong health, true health good healthy kids. Everything that you wish for yourself may bless you with everything that you need. I'm going to take the opportunity to do one more last round here in this gorgeous place. You see right in front of me over there. This is Mount Meron, the resting place of Shimon bar Yochai. And right over here the resting place of the holy Kadosh Rabbi Alkabetz, the so many pillars of the Torah and Kabbalah. Do a last tour for you that you see how beautiful it is here, how peaceful it is here. And again wish you success in your new path. And it all depends on you. You are the one that can change your path. You are the one that needs to understand where you went wrong, what you want to change. And once you understand that and you pray for to help you does wonders and miracles. I look at myself where I was 25 years ago. Where I was 25 years ago and now I'm walking on the path of the Torah. And I I I I don't have enough words to thank for all the kindness that he did to me. But it takes a lot of work from you and tonight is the night. On the night of Pesach is where we leave our we leave our limitations. We can break through. So I wish you great success with true happiness and true peace in your heart and may bless you with everything that you need and may bless us the entire human race with finally receiving the coming of Messiah and to see the true redemption here in Israel and may protect you wherever you are, provide you whatever you need. And I hope for you all the best and I wish you a happy and kosher Passover. Sending you great wishes and great prayers from the holy land here in Israel. All the best.
