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

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.
