[Music] Everybody welcome to Great Neck. Thank you all for coming. Always a pleasure to be back here in uh in this beautiful sh which I can't believe how it expanded. It just goes to show you the so much Torah and here that the walls had to expand physically. So Haku, it's so such a pleasure to see such such a thing and then of course such a a beautiful crowd coming to lead. So first of all, as was mentioned already, thank you for the sponsors and the manaturi family should have everything that you do from the kids and the ultimate that your wishes will be fulfilled in the best way possible. And uh uh also a special thanks to Rabbi Rabbi Alon. We share the same name for always opening his beautiful sh to us. We always feel at home here. And everybody in the in the crowd here will bless you already now with great happiness, success, health and that we should all have the merit. So first of all I want to wish you all today's well we're already moments after but is not over. So I want to talk about today many important and yet interesting things at the same [Music] time and I want to start a little bit a few words about pes even though we're moments after but nevertheless the the shine of pes will continue and therefore one needs to take the opportunity and to seize the opportunity when hashem presents to us a ladder is for us to climb higher. Now the concept of is that if a person decides to do he will be able to bring back what he's lacking because when a person sins then they lose different components whether it's parts of the so our sages explain if he's willing to do if he's willing to return to Hashem, you'll be able to pay back and to bring back what you missing. Which this is a very important rule because most people think, oh, if I did something and especially if it was extreme or severe, I'll probably won't be able to ever fix it and what's the point to try even chuba? And that's the problem with many people by saying okay I did so many things then my little action will make a difference and our sages come and say yeah if you decide to return to Hashem just know that you will be welcome with open hands and whatever is missing and whatever you're lacking you'll be able to to fulfill it. Now we all know that on pesa there's a very powerful shine from the world above. There's what's called giloui of the oraganuz the revelation of the hidden light that we only have a few times in the year when this light is revealed and not in a way that we can actually see it but we definitely can be affected by that. Of course, this hidden light, this organ that we're talking about is the light that Hashem created when he created the world. Created light and this light was shining the world. There's a few arguments in kazal how long it was but the the the explanation our sages explained that this light shined for three days because on the fourth day of creation hashem created the sun and the moon. Therefore up until then that was what shining in the world. uh our our our sages conclude by saying the really the light was shining for 36 hours because if you take a day 24 hours and you cut it in half half day half night then if the light the time of the light is 12 hours times three days so really it only shine for 36 hours and we see in in Kabala and in many places that the number 36 has many significance to it. One of the things that we know is that we have 36 sadikim that are holding the world that in the merit of these 36 sadikim the world exists. So this aura once of course Adam and sinned then it was concealed gan means concealed hidden for the future means when mashia comes for the whoever kept the mitzvah then we'll have a will enjoy this organ. So sometimes we have a little glimpse of this organ that we can be affected from a little bit of a shine of the organ every of Shabbat Friday after in the evening before Shabbat comes in in Kanuka. And one of the most powerful days in the in the day when the shines is and if you follow the the right way then the this effect of this godly light will bestow on you. The the shine will shine on you and you will be affected by that in many different ways which of course the main part is that you will merit to go out of mit your personal mit comes from the word mit like a limitation we all have limitations and things that stop us I mean our generations they don't call it limitations they call it addictions but the mitim that I face is my own limitations my own addictions my own challenges is and we have once a year an opportunity to break through this kipa and go out to freedom and that's pes so I'm sure many of you are now thinking why is he talking about pes pes already is old news was a month ago so first of all pes is not old news because the shine of pes from ladder till seven days after pes sheni And after that it ends. Which means that we still have the opportunity to benefit from this godly light that shines from now. Sorry. Now when Ben is went out of they celebrated twice Pes and then for the entire time in the desert they didn't celebrate Pesak. So the year of Pes the year that they left Mit there wasn't a celebration there wasn't a little they just ran out of Mit. And then the first year that came was the first time that they celebrated PES. The problem is that many of them weren't able to celebrate PES. Some were in on the on the which that in itself is a question means on a very long journey but you're already in the desert. What journey? You're in the journey. This applies at the time of beta midash. in the first year in the desert. How can the Torah says that who wouldn't be able to fulfill the a person who's impure or is in a very long journey? So they didn't have that in the first year of the desert because they're all in the same journey which means that they were all tame because our sages explained that Israel celebrated twice pes when they left mit 39 years they didn't celebrate pes and the reason for that was that for 39 years in the desert they didn't circumcise themselves our sages explain in the desert is lacking what's called the northern wind and that northern wind is what brings healing to an individual they didn't have it in the desert so it was and they didn't circumcise themselves for 39 years in the desert and only when they came into Israel that's when they started so really we're looking here that in the beginning of the journey in the desert am is celebrated twice and after that 39 years nothing Now when the Torah explains about first of all it's important to know that the word pes is not from the Torah that's that's rabbitic term to that but when the Torah is talking about it says who cannot do pes who cannot offer the pes who's that got impure one way or another or he's on a journey and he didn't make it back to or forgot he just forgot that it's now how would that apply in the desert so in the desert it didn't apply that you have everybody's there you're not going to forget you're going to get the message that it's and it's time to do the but what's the other option but in the first year nobody went on journeys This just applies to the time of beta mikdash. So we're left with only one option that they were impure. Okay. So who was impure in the first year? If you're thinking about it, what did the Torah teaching us? So there were two individuals Mish and Sapan that they moved the bodies of from the Mishkan when they died and that was what that was in the Mishkan in the desert. So Michelle Sapan there got it. You have two people who are impure already. They touched a a dead body. Then you had another group of people, the group of men that were carrying the coffin of these the bones of when they went out of there was a group of people carrying it at all times. So this is a group of people who were also they were in touch with a dead body. And then any person that somebody died because before matan there were still sick there were still healing only matan torah they were healing completely so some people unfortunately died on the way so there were people who buried their loved ones so they're also impure. Now what's interesting to understand here and let me take you a little detour what the mystical teachings explain and what happens the Torah says who is a person who cannot offer the whoever is impure grammically it doesn't make sense the kadosh explains that why it says Well, read [Music] it. Oh, sorry to read better to read it and then you put a comma says that parts of they got incarnated in. Now thehat the simple explanation of this is that if a person is either impure or from a uh on a far journey in far away he can't come to beta mikdash then one cannot offer the but says no no there's a different way to approach it a person that sins person that sins he's considered not your and now comes a big question because the Torah when it's talking about this concept it says is questions why you say is is man man when he will sin why you have the the the word ish twice say ish the go gives an answer that each and every one of us is born with a vessel to receive leave a nisha and that's our body. So each and every one of us when we're born we become a vessel to hold a holy nishama in it. Whether the nama will come in or not that already depends on many things but the body has the capacity and the ability to hold a holy nama. So when it's talking about an individual because the Torah tells us there are four levels for a human being Adam Gosh is to the level of ish is if a person has the and the merit for the to dwell on him he's called an [Music] ish and then he has an of an ish. That's why the says ish is because the body and the soul they become one. It's not that the body sins and the soul doesn't sin or the soul sins or the is the soul and the body are together comes the holy Torah and says something as follows. He says pagam if a person did a certain blemish did a sin a certain blemish happens to all of us how many times a day 20 times a day hopefully not but always the possibility that a person stumbles falls and and and sins now what happens is pagam if you did a pam a damage means that you he fell down now the nama is is not dwelling on the body anymore which means that I can have a body but the nama is not on the body or in the body and in many of the guys it's not even dwelling on over the body saying in other words if there is no light if there's no nama in the body then what would be beside instead if there's no light then there's darkness turn off Now all the lights and you say okay no light anymore. Okay so what do you have instead of light? You have darkness. If you don't have the nishama shining on the body if the nishama if the soul is not there then what is there not the side of holiness good for us fortunately for us our body is is a has the capacity to accept put a holy nama in the body. The body now is absorbed with this kusha. And why is that important to know? Because one might ask, you want to tell me that when a person dies, the soul goes out. Now the person who who died, the body has the worst of all the impurities, too. But a second ago, this was an alive person. Why would the dead corpse will have too much met? Which our sages explained that when you put honey in a in a jar and then you empty the jar, there's still honey all over the sides of the jar. So you get all these flies and whatever coming to get at it. But if you have an empty jar and you just turn it upside down, nothing will come in. There's nothing there. the body while the nishama is in the body is absorbed with kusha with with holiness. Now if a person sins then he blocks the holy soul from coming into the body and one might question so how am I functioning how am I alive okay explains it's the nephesh that's operating the body but the nama is not in the body cannot dwell in the body when a person sins the nama the soul shines the entire body what moves the body really is the the nama is the soul and the power the c the energ energy of the soul is what is enabling us to move and do movements and so forth now what happens is that unfortunately we all sin all the time so how what all day long I I don't have an what's going on here I'm a body without a soul so our our our sages explain to us that when A person ends the day and finishes the day with a certain prayer, then he's fixing everything, all the all the damages he did that night to a point that the Talmud says that if a person goes to sleep without saying is like the the term is like as if he slept on a bed of a non-Jewish woman. That's because he didn't say what he didn't say for that's the the status of like sleeping on a a bed of a a non-Jewish woman. It doesn't seem even making sense. I I just didn't say I didn't kill anybody. The fact is that when a person sins and the effect is negative on the body, the only way to do is to do chuva. And if you don't do chuva then you still have a you have a you have a deficiency something's lacking you need to do chuva person needs to to repent and explains that at the end of the day when you make an account okay what did I do today how did I conduct myself today how did I behave today do I owe maybe money to somebody maybe I I ignored somebody maybe I did something and needless to say even more than that I'm just trying to think what did I do today so I can do chuva and when I do chuva and I repent at the end of the day then my goes up to shim to the right place because they accepted my chuva and when I say is not just and then you go to sleep saying the of the confessing for your sins you want to do chuva most people go to sleep without doing chuva The shama goes out of the body. It doesn't go where it's supposed to go. It's traveling somewhere in the universe God only knows where is. And then when they wake up in the morning, they don't understand why they're so tired or upset or sick or depressed or full of anxiety and fears, confusion, and lack of guidance. And because at night when your soul goes up to be charged, it's just wandering somewhere in the universe. And the same way that you're very particular in charging your phone when you go to sleep, how come you don't want to charge your nama your soul? And the sad reality is that a lot of people deal with many different situations that a lot of them is because they did not do the right cha going to sleep. Their nama did not go up in the night to the place it needs to go to get its rejuvenation to be recharged to get its sheffa. And then they wake up in the morning and the effect can be physical, mental, spiritual. So our sages explain a person when he sins, okay, we all we all sin. So our sages says, "Okay, we'll do you a favor. Three times a day, we'll give you an opportunity to do chuva." Unfortunately, in that three times a day, when we have the opportunity to do chv, everybody wishes that there's going to be a kan walking into the sh or some is this today. We say in Staten Island. Oh, that's good. I once prayed in a certain and they had a book for every day which sadik passed. Why we should not say tanun today? Moshmin from I don't know where died. Okay, this is the biggest gift of the prayer of the day is to say is to confess for my sins to tell the I'm sorry, please forgive me. I have a and I am trying to brush that away. So our sages says okay we know you sin a lot. So we'll give you the opportunity to do just say if we do it three times a day. So when the says when a person sins he brings on himself this impurity. So what is the definition of a person who cannot do the person who's impure far away journey. So before I continue, I need to explain to you one thing that in the Torah there are four ways how you look at the letters that we reading the Torah. It's called Tanda. Tanda is an acronym of is the trot. How we read the Torah. Then we have is the punctuations. We say a a e. Then we have tagim is the crowns that are above the letters. There are certain letters in the Torah that have the tags. Some of them are I mean some of the letters cannot have the tags. There's a lot of denim to that. There's so much knowledge and depth in the just in the that we don't even know what it means. But if one little of the crown is a little bit damaged or crooked in the seaw is it's not like a a design. It's a a vital part from the four parts that how you read the Torah. And the fourth of course is the letter itself. The how the letter is written. If you write the letter with a little change, that's it. It also changes its meaning. So there are 10 places in the Torah that there's a dot on the letter. Now when we see the dot on the letter that's a hint in this specific it says when it's talking about a person it says how do you write and then you have the hey the dot is on that h. So to repeat myself, 10 pleasures in the Torah, there's an a dot on the letter. If you're looking at the in the in the safer Torah here, it comes to tell us something very powerful. First of all, like I told if there's a dot on the on the letter, it's a hint. We have to stop. Okay. What's the hint? Our sages explain if a person puts on themselves brings on himself impurity here in this world then he brings on himself the same impurity from the world above really what it does is that the person dresses himself with the that's when I bring on myself impurity and it doesn't have to be necessarily impurity that I touch a corp or in that respect can be many different things. I can bring impurity in what I eat and what I look at and what I listen how I think and many different ways. When it says when a person is it means not that he's far away on the journey his path that he's going on is far from the Torah. That's why the he is it's not that he's journeying now to I don't know where and he's missing the boat or the the plane or the whatever it is he's the first one is he brought on himself to so the second one that's that it's talking about so when the Torah comes to hint to us it puts the dot on the hey so I understand something is behind this a is explained. Cut the word. That's the Adam. When a person sins, he covers himself in a way that he becomes blind to the truth. And then you have another layer and another layer and another layer and before you know it you don't see the I'm using different words. Our sages explain that uh you do one sin it won't automatically will birth the next sin. I said it in just different in in in a different way that when I shalom I create some type of a cover that I don't see the truth. The truth is the Torah and I don't see the truth. So since I don't see the truth then I will sin more even now because I don't see the truth and then I sin more even and more and more and more and the thing is that the more I move away then I move away from the I move away from Hashem I move away from the the always represents the so when the Torah tells me who cannot come to is you far away from Hashem don't bother you can't even come so how do I fix that how do I fix the fact that I am and again for the ones who are not fluent in Hebrew means far away it's actually not far away it's a far away journey but I am explaining it different that it's far away from Hashem. So what's the taka? How do I fix this? How do I fix this problem? Our sages say you have one way of doing it and it's called which in itself is an interesting concept. There's no there's only and why only we'll get to that in a second. But the the way to fix what I just told you is only of course one can do chuva at any given moment. Don't shalom limit yourself or anyone at any given moment a person can do chuva. He's not limited to a day of the year. But the chuva that you want to do on a regular day will be very hard. It will come with a lot of resistance. It will come with a lot of challenges. when your chuva will be easy on yipur onesh on days that it's easy to do chuva now maybe to some people that don't relate with the fact what does it mean easy to do chuva to say I'm sorry to say I I I didn't mean to do it easy to do chuva I mean that you're not going to have the struggle so easy to do it again and again and again many times you struggle with a certain sin each one has his own weakness Yes. And what's the struggle that you don't do the sin for 3 4 days and you sin and you don't do it for a few days and then you fall and then you don't do it for a few days and you do it again and then somehow you hold yourself for two three weeks that's but unless I did the chuva I'm back constantly to square one. So when we're talking about and I will elaborate very soon why and what's the point in it but when we're looking at explain to us that a person has to do what are the two definitions that he's giving us that is impure and on a journey now I'll ask you a question you don't have to answer but try to answer it yourself in your mind see if you come to some common sense. Isn't the same thing the two of them? Isn't the two concepts that I just told you the same thing? Cuz I told you don't call it that you're on a journey that you are. So isn't isn't it that my nephesh is impure? Isn't it the same thing? It is the same thing in case you are wondering means that I sinned and I made my soul impure. That's it means he went away from Hashem. What does that how do you say that in simple words? He sinned. So it is the same. It's two things that are exactly the same. And it's not that I'm saying that. Rabiosi says, "Yeah, it's the exact same things." But how can you say, "Oh, how can you be either impure or far away from Hashem?" Isn't it the same thing? Says, "Yeah, it's the exact same thing." But he says it's the same thing, but there are two ways how a person sins. The first way is that what it's called tamiles that I stumbled by mistake and that's it and I did cha a person is very particular about observing Shabbat one time he failed whether it's deliberately or mistake it's irrelevant but one time he failed so he does sha he does what he needs to do and that's it and he moves on that's the definition of there's a a blemish but our sages says it's not a person that does the sins over and over and over and all day long that's the first option the second option is and first of all by the way that if what I was telling you about if a person is in that respect tamelish and uh it's a one thing and he does technically that can fix the whole thing including the confession and all the what goes with it and the most part the most important part is not to get stuck on the sin and to continue doing it you let it go that's it I know it sounds very simple cuz it's kind of is simple a person is very particular with not something happens And somebody whispered something in his ear. And what are you doing? I talking in my ear like that. You heard it. I'm sorry to tell you. You did. I didn't say anything. I heard. That's worse. Okay. It's a one time thing. It doesn't happen to me five times a day. Okay. I do. I repent. I don't have to wait till I do night. That's the status of But now you have the status of on a far away when a far away way which we said that what is a person that sins a lot not in one time or sins and holds himself for two three months. A person who sins on a regular base that's he's on a path that is so far away from Hashem of course he's the of course there's no question that he's impure he she same thing but he's on such a far away knows how how to do even a U-turn and to start coming back these are the two ways how the Torah explains explains to us when a person sins there are two ways how you sin. Either it's something that happens very very not often or it happens all the time. That's your two statuses and these two statuses even though they're same person who sins the the the effect is different and needless to say that when it comes to then both have a the status of but the other one who's a long way back. Now in a situation like this, one can explain that when the sick person knows that he's sick, then half the half the medicine is already done cuz you know he's sick. When is it dangerous? When the person is not even aware that he's sick or in a different example, how many times you can come to a person if he's maybe addicted to alcohol or drugs or gambling or many things, you come and tell him you're addicted. I'm addicted or addicted to denying he doesn't even see what's going on. He doesn't even he doesn't understand the situation and that can be with a sick person. He can be in many different things and a lot of people live in some denial like a person you come and tell him you know you have an issue with anger. I have an issue with anger. In both of the cases that we're talking about, the person cannot receive a shine from PES. I will say it again. In both of the scenarios, Tamilesh sins once in a blue moon or sins all the time I will add in anything in between cannot receive the of you sit in the you spend a lot of money on your matzah and your wine and you don't get any shine nothing nobody's home and you think everything was great cuz the brisket was amazing and the matzah was great and the company was amazing and you had good wine But really nothing happened and that's most people by the way and they they're staying there any time leaves they're still the same miserable person full of anger full of jealousy full of judgmental thoughts full of weaknesses to all their their their challenges and again I'm not here to point at you and tell you how bad you are trying to paint a situation that you understand where are we all holding. Most people unfortunately do not receive the the shine of pes and that's including many of us. So when would pesi will be a benefit to me because if I didn't get any benefit from pes then I have now another opportunity to get the same benefit on pes but that's really when you're thinking but it's unbelievable we don't have a second but so when would pesi be fruitful or be of a benefit that when I come to with thoughts of chuva, that's when it's going to benefit. And by the way, this applies to all year round. When does Hashem accept your chuva and even listens to you is when you come with what's called that I'm thinking of doing. I didn't even do anything. I just thought that what I did is wrong and I want to do cha. This called the chuva. Now what is the real cha? Our sages explained that you scream to Hashem from your heart. Not like a fake chuva. When you really scream to Hashem. Now usually when do you really scream to Hashem? Only when the problem is serious but very serious. not when I don't know what something small happens in your life in a big situation suddenly you scream to the kadosh bhu with all your kishkas I met a lady right before I came to to New York a few days ago and she told me an unbelievable story about a certain individual a girl who grew up in Benbra to a very very religious family and very happened it happened to me that also from The one of the grandfathers is a very big rabbi, like a very respectful, honorable family. And the girl, you know, like happens in many many families, she started uh drifting away from the Torah, of course, and she got to a point, no kash, no Shabbat, not really keeping the Torah, still living in their in her parents house cuz she was a teenager. But to say to her merit one thing she didn't ever give up was hurtneled. Even though she would desecrate Shabbat and eat unconscious people should not do, she never stopped covering herself. Hands were covered, legs were covered. That was the her thing. I'm not giving up my story goes. I'll tell you the story very briefly just so we can continue. It's not part of what I wanted to say. Just the story came up to my mind suddenly because I want to give you the example of what's really calling to the Kadoshbu. So this young girl on October 7 a few months ago was uh her friends called and told her we there's a party. We're all going to the party. We bought you tickets and we're all going. Okay. So she goes to her mom and she tells her I'm going to this party. And the mom tells her, "It's Shabbat. It's come on like go to a party any other day. Shabbat and you were purposely like why?" She was very very angry at the mother and she went to sleep. At night she has a strong nightmare and she sees everything that was going on in the Nova party where young people were murdered. She sees it in the dream. She wakes up all panicking, sweating, upset. She calls her friends and she says, "I'm not coming. I'm not going to the party." "Why are you not coming?" "Oh, don't ask. I had a dream and I saw this and I saw that." They're like, "Oh, no. Come on. You're in your nonsense. What? You're a little girl. A little dream is scaring you. It's nonsense. Who believes in dreams?" And they convince her to go to the party. She goes to the party and unfortunately what happens happens. And in the entire madness and craziness, she falls down on the floor from whatever, running, hiding, whatever. Now, you can imagine the prayers of that type of a person. When bullets are flying all directions, people are being murdered brutally from all directions. That's a real taka. That's a scream to the And she started screaming to Hashem, saying, "Hashem, I'm sorry. I know. I understand you told me not to come to this party. I I didn't listen to you. I'm sorry. I'm doing chuva. I will never do it again. If you save me from this thing, I will come back to you. I will do this. She She was doing such chuva. And as she's doing that, she feels a tap on her shoulder. She turns around and she see a terrorist. And the terrorist looks at her and tells her, "What are you doing here?" He looks at her body. He's like, "You don't belong here. You don't belong here." and he tells her, "Run away." She answers to him and says, "If I'm going to run now, I'll be like one of the rest that they're just shooting ducks. They'll shoot me." So, he grabs her strong and he runs with her like as if he's abducting her. Nobody shoots to their direction. They come to the forest and he lets her go and he says, "You don't belong here." And she and he tells her, "Run away." So she of course is saved and when she comes home she tells the mother the whole story which the mother says you know that must have been Elia. The story goes on and on with other interesting miracles. But the point that I'm trying to make because our sages say what is real that you scream to Hashem from your heart because you know there's nothing else. This is not regular chuva. That is when which means that that's when real chuva will be benefit is when I really scream to Hashem. Any of you lately felt or went through some situation that you really scream to Hashem? First, I don't wish for you to get to sad situation. But the reality is that many of us are challenged with many difficulties and many problems and they know that Hashem is in charge. They ask for prayers, blessing, please read the name, dedicate the sh to so and so. But the real from the heart doesn't happen. A person needs to reach to such to a point that the scream to Hashem comes from the depth of the heart. That's when the chuva mo that's when the chuva makes a difference. In the Torah it says when the the Jews came to Mosher Rabenu and they said what we can't do pes the verse says why are you removing from us what we're deserve why you taking away what I'm supposed to get that's the word in Hebrew but has the same root and the same letters of that they say why why you consider me and I don't want to be ga means real bad. Now not bad mean in the education system in Israel in America if you get a 100 you get an A or A+ or a B or C. We don't know these numbers in Israel. In Israel, you either have words or other types of numbers, but in the report cards you get as a little kid, there's a issu and very good to but if you're real bad like an F, it's like it's not you bad mean but it's like a F. So they say I don't want to be I don't want to be such a failure. So our sages say one needs to do chuva. How do you do chuva? First you regret what you did. If you don't have regret that's a big problem. Then you confess what you did and after that you accept on yourself that's it. I'm not going to do it ever again. You did that. you're on the path of cha. It doesn't mean that it's over there. It just means that you started the path of chuva. The explains that if a person comes with the approach of chuva to he will receive the of what he missed and that person will be able to go out of his own and I'm already telling you first of all the definition of my own comes from the word of the word in Hebrew m my my mim whatever narrows my options challenges and so forth. Like I told you, people call it addictions. If a person is addicted to their phone, that's part of a that's a a state of that I can't put the phone down or I'm addicted to a show or cigarette to alcohol or whatever it is. So when a person does the true cha, he will go out of mit. You will see a miracle that something that is bothering you for 10 years, 20 years or your entire life like a thorn stuck on your foot or some it's it will be removed. It will be taken out. You will be able to overcome that. And everything that I'm telling you right now, I'm quoting from what I learned, but I can tell you on myself, it works. I was able to get rid of the worst mitz that per people deal with. So when Hashem is on your side, you alone you're able to do a lot of things. For many years, I was abusing but really abusing severe drugs. Most people don't make it. When I'm asked, "How are you able to stop? I'm not able to do anything. I'm weak like a leaf. Kadbu is the one who helps a person go out of their limitation, overpower their struggle. You can't do it. You cannot do it by yourself. A prisoner cannot open his own cell and go out. You need somebody to open the door for you. That's the So if I want to do I need the on my side. Why? Because you know imagine a person falls into a pit and you're trying to pull the person out. Let's say fainted. You know how hard it is to pull such a heavy body when when you when it's in a pit? But imagine the person gives you the hand and they help you pull them. So now it's much easier to pull the person. It's much easier for Hashem to pull you when you reach out. And most people don't really put their hand out to Hashem. I'm sure you know the story. Somebody made a movie out of not a movie, like a little clip out of it. Genius. The story is that the person had the deal of the century, a meeting that if everything goes well in this meeting, he's millionaire. The day before he prepares all his notes, the presentation, irons the suit, everything. This meeting has to be perfect. The morning he says, "Okay, the meeting is at 9:00. I'm leaving." He left the house at 5:00 in the morning. He arrived already the the the area of the building 2 hours before shalom. I should not find parking. He comes near the building and what do you know? No parking. Okay, no problem. I came early. He starts going around around. Sounds like New York, right? You're going around another round. Suddenly he sees, "Okay, no parking close to the building. No problem. I came in advance. I'll go one block out." And he goes another round and another round. And suddenly he says, "Oh yeah, I only have an hour left." And suddenly it's 45 minutes. Suddenly it's half an hour. And he can't find parking. Comes 5 minutes before the meeting. He's stops his guard, sweating, angry, upset. He says, "Hashem, listen. If I miss this meeting, the money, the everything, my future. Listen, he starts talking to Hashem. Please, please, please, if you find me a a a parking, I will start putting fill in. I will observe Shabbat. I will start eating kosher. I will do anything. Just give me this parking. Please, please, please." And as he's saying that, what? Some person goes out. It's okay. I found [Music] one. The sad reality is that's the that's the truth. You scream to Hashem, the miracle happens. Thank you for helping me. You're thanking that person for helping you. Right? So if you don't let if if I if you try to come to lift me up and I hold my body down, you're not going to be able so easy to pick me up. You need my help to jump up. So Hashem tells you the same thing. Give me a hand. Give me a hand so I can push pull something. Everything is just going to sit like that and Hashem is going to move the world for you. The the rule is that if a person acts the right way on every time of the year when he wants to do chuva, it will work and it will affect that's how special the day of pes. Now will come a few big questions and one of them is but we already missed 15 minutes ago. Now you're coming to tell me that don't you think you're a little bit late? So first of all let me explain a few things. There's a big question. Why is a month later? Because if the person is impure and that's what we just learned then it takes two weeks for the impurity to be removed. So do Why are you waiting a whole month if you're telling me the person is impure? Why you added another two [Music] weeks? When thehat the explanation of it is when the nation of Israel went out of mit they prepared for themselves mat. How long did the matsot last? 30 days. That's how long it lasted. What happened after 30 days? The last meal that they had the mat was the meal on the 14th day of in the evening and from the 15th day of the month started coming down. That's the day when the month started coming down. By the way, tonight is when the month started. Many people have the custom to read tonight and even for the whole month the paratan especially people who struggle with parasan with their livelihood people who struggle with trust to hashem and faith to hashem but tonight the man started coming down which means tomorrow morning that's when the man comes so the the shine of goes for the entire week for the entire month from for 30 days while they were eating the mats till there was the switch between the mats and the man that's why it's 30 days besides that first of all our sages like I told you they say that that it doesn't say the in the Torah calls it different way but it's our sages call it but it's important to understand that a month later from Pes you still have the PES. Now what's the good news here? The Zor explains we have good news here. Don't worry about now that you missed because the Z explains it the same way that from we celebrate seven days of PES. So from Pes we celebrate another seven days that are equal to the seven days of PES. So really the shine the of PES goes all the way a week after next Tuesday. So now we have a whole week in the same status of that when I come now to be pure I come to do If you come, you step forward, you say, "I want to do chuva." Hashem will will help you do chuva. So we have another seven days with the same opportunity of what we had in pes to do. But it all depends what do what do you do? What do you do with this chuba? Now all this brings us to another difficult situation that we need to understand and first of all deal with. I told you before that very few people really scream to Hashem from their hearts. And I know maybe some of you in the crowd says, "I'm not that person." Which I respect that. I I don't I don't know you. I don't know your chuva. But I do speak and meet and run into thousands of people. And the thousands of these people come to me asking for to do chuva and to change and to how to do this and how to do that. So I deal with many people in a personal level in their chuva. So I can tell you safely that most people don't scream to Hashem from their bottom of their heart. They don't know how to do the real cha. And it's not necessarily they don't know. They they they don't they didn't reach to the level that the scream is coming from the heart. So what Hashem is going to do, Hashem wants your chuva wants, he desires the chuva of wicked people. So you he doesn't want your chuva. Hashem is waiting for you to do chuva, but he's waiting for you to scream from your bottom of your heart. The problem is that Hashem is very unhappy with the process of our chuva and the speed of it and how it's done and how we're continuing to lead our life. So there's only one way of waking people up to do the real chuva is to make them scream from the bottom of their heart. Like that young lady I just told you about because most people don't realize how bad their lash is. They most people don't realize how bad is their Shabbat. Oh, what's the big deal? Just watch the phone for a few minutes. So I drove. What's the big deal? And most people don't understand most of the sins that they do, the severity of them, because if they would, they wouldn't do this these sins. It's almost, you know, I have no words to explain that. 20 plus years I'm doing chuva. I cannot understand how you can eat kosher in the morning, pray three times a day, say, observe Shabbat, dress modest, learn Torah, give to the guy, you you you're dedicated to Hashem. You are devoted to Hashem. But when it comes to trash somebody, that's not a problem. Has no limit. That's okay. And then people think that I'm observant and connected to Hashem. I just told you no connection empty body soul doesn't even dwell on the body can't dwell on the body and that's one example of many what's the big deal what's the big deal I didn't do this and that so now I want to uh I want to explain to you something that most people see with their own eyes and understand But they don't have the their scream from their heart to do the change. Unfortunately, we have reached to a place, a time that all the world is against us. In case you haven't noticed, if you haven't noticed, then I'll break the news to you that the entire world is against us. And it's going to get much worse than that. By the way, that's the beginning. That's not even the be. That's like a warming up. So, we're now in a very special time. Special good, special, not so good. The Omar is a very powerful time. One of the components of the Omr is that we are mourning the death of 20,000 24,000 students of Rabia Akiva and we take it serious because the foundation and the pillars of the Torah all died. Can you imagine 24,000 students? That's 750 funerals a day. If Rabi Akiva had to go to every funeral, how do you go to 750 funerals every day? Needless to say that this tragedy that up until today we are commemorating and we're mourning. You did you know any one of those 25,000 24,000 students one of them do you know? You ever heard their name? How do you why do you mourn somebody who died so long ago? It's not connected to me. You know how many people died in the last 3,000 years? Why do I have to mourn them? First of all, why did they die? They they died for very, very simple. No, they didn't treat each other nice. That's it. Say simple. They didn't have no between me and you. I look at you as nothing. My entire Torah is worthless. After such a disaster, Rabi Aka takes his students, the remaining students, five. He gathers five of the remaining students. Most people never heard of him. Most people never heard of him, too. Luckily the next ones you heard of them who we now celebrated the and the five pillars that gathered back to build again the world of the Torah and do you know what was the message in the first lesson he gave them? Don't go in the path of your friends. That's the first lesson. Not some deep explanation of [Music] some just don't repeat what your friends did. You know comes another big question when it comes to this concept. Why do they die now? Why not in TV? the winter is a little bit more convenient, not so hot. Specifically from Pes to that's when they died. Can anybody explain why in this time and not in the summer? The explanation is as follows. Every person in this world has a purpose. Every purpose. Every person. There's no such a thing that you don't have a purpose or a role in this world. If you get to a point that you feel I'm worthless, I'm nobody. Nothing that I do it matters. Every person in the world has a purpose and a tid and a part and a role. If you finish your role, you finish your task, you know what's going to happen? You're going to die. That's it. You're done. You finished. When we see a young person die, as tragic as it is, that person finished their role, their nama finish their tid in this world. Be happy for the nama. They're out early. They don't have to do the entire 70 80 years. We look at it as tragic, which it is. Not taking away from the severity of such an event, but nevertheless being happy in a in a some type of a way that that soul reached its completion. The tikun Now if a person doesn't do that, you go through your entire life and you don't fulfill your purpose. What do you think is going to be waiting on the other end? A party. Are you even interested of going through 60 70 80 years of this life which is not so easy and to find out that you didn't even achieve what you were supposed to do here what are you doing therefore a person right away needs to start thinking okay what's my purpose what do I need to do am I close enough to Hashem do I have any anything that I need to work on better myself don't worry we all sin. We all have struggles. We all have our questions. We all are lazy in certain things. But all depends what you're trying to do to fix what you're doing. So why specifically they died at the time of the om at the time between pes and because that's the time when our sages explain after the winter when we hibernate in the cold our yet is also cold. Comes the month of the summer suddenly you're hot. Suddenly the clothes go off. You want to go out. You want to have fun. So the Allah wakes up with you too. So our sages say read tracked of of the the e ethics of the fathers throughout this time that it will give you m and power to to focus yourself that you can now go and struggle with this yet. And the entire m the teachings of ethics of the father is better yourself make yourself a better person since they did not do that that's the time that they when they died they were geniuses in the but neither one of them working on their midot to have patience to another to have understanding to the other to have some type of compassion to another person let me talk first I'm more important than you stand up when I come in like that's not so since it was the time of that's when the decided that's when I'm going to finish it. Now if you read there's a way of expressing the in a very interesting way. It says constantly in a repeating way. It will quote the Tana and it will say huh in Hebrew it means he used to say. So you know the Torah doesn't waste even one letter. Why do you have to add another word who he used to say? say who am why you add another word not for nothing that other word is there it's explained that every one of these that are quoting it says he used to be what he says he does what he says he lives by his own example he's doing it for 40 50 years now he comes and tells you it works like says all my life I've grown and raised next to the to the sages and I've learned that only one thing is good for your body silence now how can you give such advice only when you're 80 years old and you said all my life I was around and I learned one thing. So when he says it's a person that did and then he can come and say that's a whole different level. The is a time to fix. It's a person to reflect on their behavior to reflect on how they conduct their life between them and Hashem but between me and another person. A lot of people are they feel cushioned because they do a lot of mitzvah they learn Torah doesn't mean anything. So what if you have a lot of Torah? If you treat another person like garbage, then your Torah is not worth a lot. Don't expect much from that Torah, which for me is mindboggling. If you I mean I know a certain individual that learns Torah all day long and he's rude, he's impatient, he's pretentious, he's arrogant, he's everything. And I look at him and I'm like, I wish I would know 1% of your Torah. How did the n rest of the 99% didn't penetrate to make you this little a little humble? So there's many things I see in the Torah. I don't understand how how how can one fit with the other. Like I told you, a person is observant looking for bugs in microscopes not to eat on the lettuce. A little bug runs in the house like a chicken without a head before Shabbat shalom. Not to desecrate Shabbat for one second. But when it comes to sit in a group of people and to trash somebody, he's the first one to sit in the center and to scream as the loudest. I said, "Where's your Torah?" He left the Torah outside in the parking lot with the valet parking. The om is the time that we need to fix bin. And when a person does that, then needless to say that he brings on himself great abundance and trust and faith in Hashem and Hagana and protection because when I apply everything that I told you, you bring on the world judgments. That's the action. That's what's going on. That's the period that we are in. We are in a period that is not so simple by the way. Not a simple period at all. The kadoshu is showing to us in simple ways how now the judgments are strong. I said about 5 years ago that we had a very good opportunity to do chuva in a nice way to bring the gula to bring the redemption in a nice way and I kept quoting David who says is judgments. Even though the ultimate of the ultimate kindness is when I know how to restrict something that you don't need. That's the ultimate kindness to give and to give and to give. That's not kindness. To know when to say enough. That's the kindness that I give you tools. I give you boundaries. So the kadoshbu is now showing to us that the entire control of the world is coming through din may I explained before the quote from David says we are now in the 80s in pays that's 80 that's the we have a whole decade now of everything is going to come with The love of Hashem will come like that. I can relate. I'm a father. I love my kids dearly. Sometimes I love them and I'm hugging them and I'm kissing them and buying them present and and spoiling them and and making them feel the top of the world. Next week is my son's bar mitzvah. As you know what you all invited my humble home in I hope to see some of you. You know what pleasure it gives me to now spoil him, buy him a beautiful, he wanted a beautiful bag for the teil and we went all the way to do this and that and and even in America, Aba, can you get me this? Aba, can you get this and that? So we have in the bar mitzvah, you know what pleasure I get to spoil my son? That's love with a lot of tank take. But you know how many times my love to my kids come with Dean? My son is here. Ask him. I might seem like a very nice person to you. Come to my house. I'm like a general. My kids walk very very straight under the table. I walk in. Why? Because the true love, the true comes with din comes with you can't you're not allowed to this is not permissible. This is too much. Then if I don't give that to my kids, what are they going to turn out to? What kind of an individual will turn out from a kid? They just take and take and take and everything's okay and you're the best in the world. You cannot do anything wrong. You are an angel. I get a small bread that doesn't even know how to deal with this world. So as a father when I want to educate my kids the right give them tools it comes with comes with judgment love but it's still strong love not shalom that they don't get any affection but the ultimate has to come with restrictions the kadu is now going to show us he already started how everything in the world is going to run with din judgments it's not going to become in a way of the good news is that the denim are going to be sweetened with that's what our sage is saying it will come with strong judgments but in that will be great came strong judgments seven months ago nation of Israel in the south of Israel what what was going on there and with that came so much that it was only400 and not 14,000 and only 20 kibbutim and not cities and not this and you have to see the and everything. Look how much people were survived. Look how much people were saved and look at the mirac the miracles. How many people came back to Hashem because of that? But the denim going to continue. It's not going to come in a nice way. Hashem wants your attention right now. And he tells you, I'm writing it on the wall. If you don't know how to read, then try to figure it out. I believe that everything happens. Nothing moves without the supervision of Hashem. Everything is calculated to a tea. Perfect. Even to a point that when I planned this trip, I wasn't even supposed to come here. We're supposed to go to Los Angeles. Things didn't work out. When I looked for tickets to fly here, because of the situation in Israel, no foreign companies come to Israel. You can only fly with and the prices are here from tomorrow if you find the ticket. And from all the days that I found tickets, who in his might right mind goes a week before his son's bar mitzvah to to abroad? My wife tells me you what if you're going to get stuck? I mean, your record shows you get stuck. I have bad karma with airports, traveling, trains, passports, anything. You know, I'm like now neurotic. I never been neurotic about anything. I'm looking at my Where's my passport? Where where's my passport? Why? Cuz I missed it 50 times and missed planes. I have some type of a ton that I always miss planes, flights. I get stuck. Hurricanes, tornadoes. I'm like a bad omen. Every time I come, I came once to to Florida a few years ago. There was a hurricane there. Everybody look at me. Go. It's like your brought the hurricane. The hurricane start starts. I call my wife. 896 flights from JetBlue going out of Miami. Mine got cancelled. So I have very bad luck with flying. My wife tells me, "Why are you going a week before the B mitzvah?" I said, "Because that's the only date that is available. There's no other dates." So when the Gosh puts things together, there's a deep meaning for every little thing. So I have to share with you something that I learned a few days ago. There's a book that is called the love of life written by most people never heard of him. Great Sadik who lived in Israel about 60 70 years ago. And you read his text you understand the man was operating on wares. And I read the book. Why? Because the book is talking about the process of the redemption. And this is written in the year. That's that's sorry that's when he passed. I'm sorry. So we're talking about about 60 years ago, 70 years ago he wrote this book. And I have to read to you something that he wrote. And it says as follows. gul when we went out of mit was gul the nephesh the soul went out of mit but not gulf not the redemption of the body as we are still in exile till today he says in the future redemption how do we get saved only hem This will be eternal. How is it going to be done? Only by Hashem. Not the IDF and not BB Netanyahu and not Biden and not Trump and not anyone that you can think of. Only by Hashem. Then he says something very scary. He says there's going to be great darkness which you see with your own eyes. The darkness which I don't need to need to to explain the darkness is coming from all different directions. Then he adds and he says there's going to be a lot of sot means problems. And then he says and worse than that will be wars. So darkness problems and wars. And then he adds, and this is not written 5,000 years ago, a few decades ago. Now, you have to understand when he wrote it, Israel was in a good place. That's after the UN allowed the establishment of the state of Israel. The world was actually in favor in Israel. So, it would be almost unheard of. What are you talking about? That the world will hate us. They just did us the biggest favor ever. That was the approach of the Jews then that the the United Nations did us the biggest favors ever. The the United States did us a favor. They weren't saying Hashem did a miracle. So he writes, "Everybody will hate the nation of Israel and they're going to come and tell all sorts of things about us. We're doing genocide, bombing innocent civilians and many other inventions." And he says that's what he's saying means United Nations and not in America. Any other country we should strengthen in our in our belief. Who do we need to believe? Only in Hashem. He is the only one who will get us out of this situation. And then he adds by saying it's all for our benefit. This is not something bad. Don't take it as something bad. Unfortunately, right now the situation is that the had it up to here with theem that is done is desecrating the name of hem which really the only way to fix that is to do kushem. You cannot do chuva for kashm desecrating the name of hem. There's no chuva for that. Anything else you'll do chuva. You can do chva desecrating Shabbat, eating, working on every sin that you can think of. You can do chuva. You can't. The only thing you have to die and the death will atone. You have to think twice before you doem. How do you fix? The only way to fix it is to balance it with kushim but 10 times more. So we understand from that that the koshu is going to bring havoc on the world for one thing. If we're going for the prophecies that are talking about the war that's going to happen before the coming of Mashiach, the war of go and don't ignore the fact has to come go Magog. We didn't have Go Magog yet. I know some say that the Holocaust was go Magog. It's not. Ali the Holocaust was Go Magog because we'll be finished with it already. But it's not. Go Magog is coming. First of all, we are in go magog. But this final war is going to come for one purpose. Let's go to the prophecy that's talking about it. There's two true two prophecies on this war. But when talks about this prophecy, what does it say? My name should be greater and holier. So, Hashem is going to make miracles in a way that his name will be sanctified who can do kushem. Hashem can't do kushem on himself. So that's left to us. So just that you understand to put things in the right place. We are marching into the gula into the redemption on full blast. Now up until now the last couple decades that's Hashem telling us I'll give you the opportunity to do it calm slow nice and and with a lot of time ran out. Okay now it's time not to do it with but the redemption has to come. It doesn't say anywhere that the redemption has to come. Nice. It says it's going to come. How is it going to come? That depends on us and depends on Hashem. Hashem is already showing to us in a very clear way that I add it up to here. That's it. What more signs do you need from the kosh? The gb was giving us a sign after a sign after a sign after a sign. Everybody already forgot Corona because now we're dealing with wars and next few months you're going to be dealing with Biden and and and and and Trump and didn't you forget how far ago in one second the entire world was shut down. People have very short memory. They forgot that showed us four years ago that if he wants all he does is this and the entire world is shut down. Shut down. Ever in the history has something like this happened and everybody forgot. Why? Because they let you out of the curfew. They told you to take your mask off. They leave you alone and that's it. Back to business. The kad who is giving us signs. so clear that we should understand and see what he wants from us. If you're looking at the horrible tragedy that happened on October 7, I'm not judging anybody or I'm pointing a finger, but let's analyze what was going on. It specifically happened on Shabbat. Hashem could have chose a Thursday or a Monday. Hashem chose Shabbat to show us he is not happy with Shabbat. There's too much desecration of Shabbat. It happened on could have happened on any day because there's too much disgrace to the Torah. The Torah is being disgraced from all different directions. One of the things that I see a lot and I'm not coming to tell you that because it's affecting me. It's affecting the entire Israel. But I see it from a side. The right rebbitical authorities are not getting the right honor and respect have been stepped on. And that's people talk about rabbis like yeah let's see if you want% of his dua then talk about the rabbi to disgrace that's playing with fire so the is showing to us sign after sign you are disgracing the you are making the look horrible and many other things and again I'm not belittling anything and not judging anybody and don't twist my words that I'm saying or blaming or pointing. I'm telling you how I see things in a simple way. One of the most horrible things that we saw in those attacks is what was done to the women. Shem is telling us I'm not happy with the with the modesty and the situation that's going on. He's not pointing a finger at a purse. He says, "What is bothering me?" And you know one thing and again you don't have to take my words in an insulting way. Yesterday a person came to me cuz he didn't see me for 5 years because I wasn't able to come here. But he saw me yesterday and he says I had to I have to apologize to you. And I was like okay why? cuz he says because I said things about you and I was angry at you because you said something that I didn't I didn't like and it actually happened right after you said that and I feel bad that I was angry at you that I judged you and I mocked you and I I'm sorry like I told you The kadosh is giving us hints in everything that he wants to do that he's going to do and what bothers him. Shem is showing us clearly what is bothering him. So what I'm about to tell you don't have to get upset. Don't get angry at me. Sometimes people get angry at me. Some people get affect people think I talk all on them to them. I'm talking generally right now. So don't get affected by what I'm about to say. What bothers me is that I see many people in I understand the times are hard here in America that they tuck the tit in the in the in the pants and they don't go with a yamaka baseball cap or hide their Jewish identity. What you do whatever you want. I'm not hiding myself when I walk now in Manhattan, JFK, Newark, Larardium. Miami think I hide myself. I'm not afraid. I have Hashem with me. I do [Music] kitushem. Hide my Jewishness. Jewish Jewishness. What is it? 1939. Yeah, it's 1939. By the way, you you are going to start experiencing a 1939 very soon. is telling you in the most clearest way where we are holding what he's about to do what bothers him and their world rests quietly wants you to do chuva when you scream from the bottom of your heart do you really think your chuva is solid it's strong like cement I don't even think my chuva is solid like iron I question my chuva 50 times a day. So we are now in such a a a special time cuz on one way when you're looking about it this is the most exciting time in history. Thousands of thousands of great leaders, prophets, sages were when will the redemption come? Where's the generation like at the time of mitim to see it? Can you imagine? You can't imagine because if you would imagine I don't think you would be sitting here so calm. Not here in the shul right now. Here in America is already telling us that the only way for us to be redeem is if we do serious chuva. How do you do serious chuva? You have to scream from your heart a real. So theu is going to bring it upon us. He's going to make us scream unless you want to scream without the pushing. But you know for 4 and 1/2 years I wasn't allowed to come to this country. That's that's the truth. That's the fact. I left four and a half years ago. That's it. Doors were locked. American governments was like, "You're not coming ever again in here. We don't want you. and a few other governments. I'm not allowed to go into Canada. I'm not allowed to go. I'm banned from a few countries, which I was happy. Good stay to go to these countries. Right now, I can teach my Torah in front of a camera. And by the way, my my followers have grown since Corona, since I didn't stop coming here 10 times. So, obviously, I have a greater reach through the camera. Why do I need to come here? So I understood I shared a story last time I was here in in in in Queens, shared it yesterday, that the last time that I was here in the United States was four and a half years ago, almost five years ago. Had a tour in New York. The last day I was in New York, I had some procedure on my tooth tooth. I had to go through some surgery and I had a lot of pain. the pl the area was very sore. I h don't take pharmaceuticals. My wife gave me some natural uh thing to ease the pain to reduce the inflammation which helped but it kept me up. I couldn't fall asleep and the whole night I was packing. I was busy. I can't sleep the whole night. Okay. So all getting ready for the flight and packing and everything and it was again that flight was also I I flew back to my son's my other son's bitzvah. I landed and went to my son's bar mitzvah. So I had like seven suitcases full of stuff and my like I told you I miss planes, trains, boats, everything I miss. I was driving on the Jersey tentpike I think like 120 the whole way. I was going through lanes. I was like I'm going to miss this flight. If I miss this flight, I miss my son's per mitzvah. Miraculously, I make it to the plane, I'm like with my tongue out, last passenger. I'm always the last passenger. Everybody in the airport, who's this Alona Nava that the plane is waiting for? Passenger Alona Nava. The plane is about to leave. I learned a long time ago the plane can't leave without me cuz the luggage is on the plane. So once I used to run fast now I don't wait then I'm going to take off with my luggage on the plane and I'm not on the plane. So we get on the plane we get taxed out of the terminal. We're standing on the runway. I'm like starting to come down from the entire madness of the last few hours and suddenly in the middle of August starts a a a thunderstorm. I never seen such a thunder thunderstorm, hail. You can't you can't even imagine rain. I mean, the sky is gray, darkness. I was like, what's going on? Never seen such a such a situation. And the plane is all moving and shaking. And and then I understand I understand now we're not taking off. And I look at my daughter and I told her, I know why we're not taking off. She's like, why? I said, I didn't pray yet. I pull out my handbag. I open my my my uh carry-on. I take out my fine. I put that I put that fill in. I say the second that I sh said, ladies and gentlemen, please sit down. We're taking off. Clouds remove no rain, no nothing. Back to dry heat of New Jersey in August. And we take off. And after my tells me, how did you know it was the fine? I said the I said it to her because I'm never coming back here ever again. That's the feeling that I I I understood. That's the feeling I'm never coming back ever again. And America obviously needed my last time of putting the fill in my farewell par present and adios. And I won't look back. But a few months ago, something changed out of nowhere. Suddenly opportunities open. Come, you can come back to the country. So I understood from that that Hashem wants me to come and tell you a message that cannot be told over the internet. Some things had to be said face to face. That cannot be on a WhatsApp message. It cannot be on a camera. It cannot be with an email or any other way. It has to be to come here and to tell you my dear friends, you are all sleeping. The ground is shaking under your legs and you are sleeping and worrying about your mortgage and about your payments and where your children are going to learn and where are you going to marry and how I'm going to do this business deal and which car I'm going to change next year. And you do not see that Hashem is telling you what don't you see here? You don't see here the million Palestinians that are going to burn this whole country down with you in it. What more signs do you need? Now, I know the counteractive is like it's very unsafe in Israel. I I don't like when people don't talk nice about Israel. You know, the decree of the nation of Israel that were stuck in the desert for 40 years was because of one thing and not because they did the golden calf and not because they went against Hashem and not because they were complaining and it's because they spoke about Isl 40 years for every day you were in Israel speaking you get a year in the desert and about the land of Israel the land of Hashem you have the but to talk about the land of Israel just don't say nothing don't say anything when I tell people why you living here in America Why don't you go back to Israel? It's hard there. I look very tired, right? I look very I work hard there. Suffer. I suffer in Israel. Me and another eight and a half million people. We suffer all day long. I have to come to the United States to get some fresh air. Thank you, Hashem, for letting me back in United States. I love your food. I don't miss anything but Israel. So people say, "Ah, it's hard in Israel." Yeah, you look like you're picking up money from the floor here. You all look like you danced wing in the but it's hard in Israel. And the one that I like the most, how am I going to make money there? Well, first of all, you don't look such a gazillionaire now here. And more than that, you have the to say how I'm going to make money. Who do you think gives you the money? Is the one who's giving you money? You telling me Hashem can't give you money or he only give it to you in America? He only works with Bank of America and Chase. Sorry to tell you my friends, this is heresy to say I how am I going to make money in Israel? Are you out of your mind to say such a thing? And even if you think such a thing, don't dare to talk about the land of Israel. Bad. There's a great sadic that lived uh I think about 80 years ago who said before the holocaust if you yearn and dream and desire to come to Israel you will come to Israel with all your belongings all your possessions all your property and all your money and if you don't you will still come to Israel without nothing. That's what happened in the before the Holocaust. People had to get up and leave. Left everything behind. So, please don't tell me Israel is bad and it's dangerous and it's horrible and you can't make money there and the mosquitoes are annoying and the falafil is disgusting and it's not nice to say that. Just say right now, I can't do it. I wish I would have this to move to Israel. Right now, it's a little bit difficult for me. So, first of all, I'm telling you personal advice. Don't trash Israel. Don't say it's hard there. Don't say it's dangerous there. Even though it's the truth. It is dangerous right now in Israel. The normal said very clearly before the Gul is will be very dangerous. He says it's going to be very scary there. But that's it. Dangerous and scary. And sooner or later the storm starts in Israel. You see now how it's all starting around Israel. But once the storm starts going further away, Israel becomes the the eye of the storm and everything else is in the storm. We belong in Israel. Start making a business to go back to Israel. It doesn't have to be tomorrow, but you have to have the wish, the desire, the dream, the effort that you're facing to go into Israel. Whether it's in a month or in two years, it doesn't matter. Hashem is telling you, I'm closing here the show. You want to be here when it comes down. You want to be here when I'm going to destroy Adam. Shem is going to destroy Adam. Yesterday we had a lecture either you come tomorrow to New Jersey or you wait to see it online where I quote the places in explaining is going to finish a dome long for many many years. This is a dome. You're in a dome. Adom is the western culture the western world has a long account with a dome. Not too long ago I read in one of the books of the Malim how he explains what's going to happen again. He's talking 270 years ago. He's talking what's going to happen now in our generation and how the entire world is going to go against Israel and who's going to come against us and who are going to be the nations that are going to come against us. He says he explains these are the but he gives a perfect explan he's telling us who are going to be the world leaders that are going to be in a coalition against us. Did you hear how your dear president spoke a few weeks ago that and then a journalist went and attacked him and told him, "How dare you talk like that? The Jews, half the Jews voted for you." How he trashed the Jews and trashed is who you're going to deal with today. I have opportunity. It's Let's put everything behind now. Let's forget everything. I forgive everything. What I'm saying now, you have to say every night before you go to sleep, I am hereby forgive any person that angered me, went against me, stole from me, hurt me in this incarnation, previous incarnation. I told you before malamita is the key to many many good things. If you need to take something on yourself tonight to leave this door. Hashem wanted you to hear what I have to say. Now it's in your hands. You do whatever you want with it. I came to tell you here's a ticket for pes. You're getting it 90% off a Black Friday. That's what you do here in America. Black Friday doesn't even sound nice. Black Friday. Ask a question. Soon we're going to take a few questions. I want to conclude when I know that you all understand that Hashem loves us. Hashem wants to redeem us. Hashem wants to give us all the promises. But like a loving father, he's just going to give it for free. And it's going to require from us a lot of effort. A lot of effort. And what I'm coming is to tell you is is trust in Hashem. Don't trust not in Trump and not in Bib, not in you. Trust in Hashem. You put all your all your trust in the no governments, no diplomats, no nothing. Nobody likes us. Nobody's coming to our aid right now. And don't think that it's the IDF that's going to save us or anybody like that. We saw already what's the IDF worth 7 months ago. You have to understand that if you don't do a change right now, the only one who will suffer from that is you. take the opportunity that you can correct whatever you want. The only thing that will stand for you as a merit is your if it's decreed on anyone to go through hardship in this at least have to that will protect you that you have what will standard will hold you. You're right. Not everybody's going to wrap it up here. People are going to be so stubborn. Listen to what I say. Here's a camera. People are going to be so stubborn. People are going to see atrocities and we'll still be stubborn and still stay here. It's not that bad. It will get okay. Maybe next election we'll get a better president, a pro Jewish president. [Music] We have such an opportunity to do chuva. That's what Hashem wants. Just repent. Just go home and sit on your bed and take a piece of paper and say all the bad things that you do and be and forgive you and ask for forgiveness. Look where the kadb is putting pressure on your difficulties. That's where wants you to become stronger. You have to elevate yourself. You have to grow. You have to protect yourself. You have to understand when you do all this, you are going to bring the holiness to shine on you. You will have you're not going to be afraid of anything. Hashem is going to protect you wherever you are. Even if I walk in the valley of darkness, which that's what we're walking through right now, I won't see any evil. because you're with me. But you have to make sure that Hashem is with you. You have to make sure that right now I I I'm grabbing every mitzvah I can and I'm not putting myself in any state of jeopardy or or or any danger which is not so easy anywhere in the world. So what will protect me? My mitzvot my mitzvot will protect me. So I'm going to conclude by wishing you all a happy and I'm going to wish you all and everything that you do. May Hashem protect you wherever you are. May Hashem light up your path that you understand the opportunity that Hashem is giving you to understand the value of each and every one of you and what your mitzvot mean and how powerful you are as an how your actions are are are are detrimental to your to the results of what you're doing. I'm going to bless you that Hashem opens your eyes that you see the truth that you see the love of Hashem that you see all the opportunity he gives us and blesses you with happiness success prosperity protection and the ultimate blessing that he will take you to it's not on the on the wings on the eagles just go inal it's only $2,000 a ticket it was five five is the discounted Great synagogue more than$100 million I don't know synagogue we come to synagogue to pray we come to say we come to lead we come to bless you all with great happiness success health prosperity whoever needs to get married should find their other half whoever needs to have should have. Whoever needs to have children should have many, many healthy children. Whoever needs to do chuva, Hashem will bless them to do chuva and to move away from their evil path. Whatever your heart desires, if it's in the path of the Torah, bless you that Hashem would give it to you in the best way possible. And we should all merit to see the coming of Mashiah with our own eyes and may always protect us, bless us, and always be with us. Amen. for dish. [Music]
