if guys are really serious are you gonna

to put your money where your mouth is so
it turns out I don't know how his
brother's brother-in-law I don't know
all bukharians are related and uh
that's that's what we're here tonight
so it's it's really it's a good to be
here and we always say in our show that
call Israel as they were all working
together all the Jewish people are all
one unit in different times in history
we took care of each other the rabbi
that runs our community his name is Sam
yourself
for a full big Rabbi started a tenet
started the the whole movement during
World War
one not World War II I think World War
One his father had to escape edit Israel
because the draft to the Turkish Army
and for six years he spent in Bukhara
so you house them took care of him you
never know this is we're all
intermingled we're all together there's
no there's no differences no shapes
colors and sizes call yourself and it's
an important part before we get to Rosh
Hashanah we say the pistol came
when is Hashem King with assay for
Hashem when everyone's United and
together well there's different groups
and divided and this group and that
group and the other group hakadoshva who
can't be king he's only King when we're
together so I'm happy to be here and uh
be with my fellow brethren
so we said we're going to talk about
how betahon has to do with Rosh Hashanah
so I'll give you a few little important
lessons
lesson number one is like this
there's a little bit of a question how
to understand Rosh Hashanah
on one hand
it's a very scary day
we don't say halal
normally on a holiday you say hello we
don't say hello why don't we say hello
this is
the books of the living and dead are
opening and start singing songs it's a
scary day it's not a holiday
we don't say on the prayers
it sounds like it's a scary day this is
a scary day on the other hand
says ideally this Sunday Ed of Rosh
Hashanah you take a haircut take a trim
some say you could do it a little bit
earlier but you have to look like you're
coming into Russia well groomed
look well groomed you have to take a
shower
you have to come in well groomed and the
the midrash says how fortunate lucky the
Jewish people that we know how to act on
Rosh Hashanah and we come in properly
dress and properly groom normally you're
going to be judged you don't go in like
that person being judged he's scared for
his life he's not worried what soody's
getting what Tai is wearing he wants his
ones to come out alive and we're taking
showers and getting dressed and eating
nicely what's going on why because we're
batua we're relying on Hashem he's going
to make a miracle for us so we're good
so what's going on are We scared are we
happy what's supposed to be the mood of
Rosh Hashanah
so we're going to explain with the story
that happened with a great Rabbi called
the briskarov riskarov was the grandson
of the beta Levi he's quoted here quite
a few times we're going to say some
stories about him tonight
so on the last rosh hashanav is life
shock who was a student of his came to
visit him and he saw the rabbit was very
scared
he says why are you so scared he's
scared Rosh Hashanah is coming I'm
scared he says but what do you mean it
says
we're guaranteed God's going to make a
miracle for us what are you why are you
getting so scared for
see ants with the following answer
very important principle
right now
does anyone have
that there's not going to be an
earthquake in this room now anyone have
beta Khan is not going to be an
earthquake
no but
does anyone have Beats according to the
volcano is not going to erupt no
does anyone have betahon that a tree is
not going to fall down on the building
when you're walking in the streets on
your way back to your car
and you see uh three scary looking guys
just getting off a motorcycle and
they're smoking something
you might get a little nervous
then you have betahon
you can only have bitajon
if you realize the situation is a
situation to be concerned about if
everything's fine right now you don't
have Pizza Hut it's not gonna be an
earthquake why should it be an
earthquake I'm not even thinking about
an earthquake be takon by definition
means I have a concern
my initial feeling is I'm worried and
then I rely on Hashem
she can't the rabbi said I don't feel
concerned enough
you can't just jump into Russian and say
it's going to be a great year
were you even scared were you even
nervous we even concerned
it's the first step in order to beat is
you have to realize there's something to
be worried about you have to say to
yourself hold on what's this year going
to bring in business I know what he is
going to bring this here who knows
inflation things can turn around what's
going to happen let's get a little
nervous
so I can start worrying a little bit
how's it going to be what's going to be
this year I don't know
when you start getting a little worried
a little concerned
then you could rely on
you can't just jump in and say
everything's going to be fine first you
have to be scared first you have to be
concerned and when you're scared and
concerned then you quality Hashem so we
shouldn't make the mistake of just
thinking oh that's it everything's fine
put on my suit take my shower take my
shave I'm good no it's so you have to be
concerned you have to be worried uh it's
our it's it's it's a scary scary time
and with all the scary scariness then
you start working on relying on Hashem
but you can't just start off and say
it's going to be fine
so that's the first point
so we need be talking but we can't just
Dive Right In like nothing's going to be
nothing's going to happen you have to be
concerned
the second Point goes like this and this
is in the bay television if you have the
book in front of you now you can open it
up
to page 71.
okay you got the book page 71 we got
more but where the books I know where
they are give them out make sure the
ladies get also
all right
page 71 so the beta levies
great grandfather grandfather was a
great Rabbi accordion he writes like
this page 71. I'll read it in the uh in
the English part
right under the top of the page you see
the Hebrew English
as has been explained
if someone God forbid finds himself in a
state of distress what should you do
when you're in trouble
there's a problem you're nervous about
something Shalom uh you're worried about
a health problem you had a monetary
problem any problem you have what should
you do to get out of the problem
you ever see these bumper stickers that
say an old milvado there's nothing else
but him that bumper sticker came from
this concept he should contemplate the
complete and utter Unity of the Creator
there's none besides him you put in your
head there's nothing else
if a Line is charging at you what should
you think this line is not here what's a
lion there's nothing here it's only
ratson Hashem nothing in the world
exists it's not the will of God
there's nothing here it looks like a
line it's not a lie nothing to worry
about
and then
all the Heavenly judgments and
accusations against him will
automatically be removed and will not
come to harm
so we just have over here a secret
from the Napa and it actually comes from
the Ariza and we start off our musaf
prayers with everyone's familiar very
very long musaf it's worthwhile to look
at it beforehand and in there we say and
in there we say an old there's nothing
else
that's a powerful tool when a person's
in trouble whatever the problem is this
is just nothing that would not
necessarily Russia anytime person has a
problem if they really think
the cop pulls you over
and you just you're going 90 miles an
hour on the Garden State Parkway
and you don't have your license on you
and you think to yourself the police
offer isn't here
he doesn't have any power over me it's
only about son Hashem there's nothing
else
you really really believe it poof
the problem disappears It's gotta really
really believe it
and there's stories that prove it
two stories
Story number one is the rabbi that wrote
this book the beta Levi he lived in
Russia
and Jews in many countries because they
were not
allowed to always own businesses and own
land
um smuggling was a very profitable
business Jews would smuggle throughout
history Jews smuggled they lent money
and they smuggled they couldn't own
businesses always
so as a man that had a large Warehouse
full of Contraband smuggled Goods
and
they now decide the the uh
tax officers
the Customs officials they decided
they're going to go into this town
they're shutting off the town and
they're going from Warehouse to
Warehouse from house to house to check
for any Contraband goods and this guy
knows he's got a warehouse full of
illegal Goods they're going to catch him
he's going to go to Siberia at best
she comes to Shore that morning he tells
the baby we're in trouble
they just shut up shut down the borders
and they're going from Warehouse to
Warehouse what am I gonna do
it's the beta Levy knew the secret he
wrote the book he said you know what
we're going to do we're going to sit in
school you're not going out of show
today nothing else to do we're gonna
learn
the whole that's all we're going to do
we're gonna learn and learn and learn
and go through the Kabbalah and
everything until we have clear that
nothing exists
that's what we're working on nothing
else going to help you're not going to
get a lawyer you're not going to get a
bribe the guy nothing's going to help
well where are you going to handle
Movado
so the home warnings is the learning and
learning and learning and learning this
topic
at 12 o'clock the officers that are
going from uh Warehouse to Warehouse
from out they get up to this guy's house
exactly at lunch break they get to his
Warehouse
and one office says the officer how are
we going to know what we're up to he
says don't worry we'll make an X over
here this is the next house okay they
put an X right in front of his warehouse
this is the next test
not like any good uh good Russian
officer what do you do for lunch you got
a bottle of vodka okay they drank they
drank the bottle of vodka and that
little tipsy by now they come back and
they see the X there and one guy says
okay this is the one we're supposed to
follow this is no the X means that's the
last one that we did he says no that's
the net no it's the last one let me go
on to the next one they skip his
Warehouse
they checked every Warehouse they didn't
go into his Warehouse why
there's nothing else but him
Story number two
the Bruce Grove's grandson the briskarov
of the bet for his grandson
he was in
Europe when World War II broke out
and the Nazis
were doing what they were doing
and he's trying to escape with his
family
him and his children all they they
didn't all get out some of the children
with him some with his wife his wife
perished with some of the children they
would they weren't together at the time
when they were escaping and he and his
children many great rabbis that one of
the last children passed away a few
years ago this year I think in his 90s
or last year of David salvation
so
he's now on a train
and there's Nazis all over and they
don't have the right papers and they ask
them for their papers they're in trouble
so what did he do he told his he took
toward his children seven eight nine ten
kids
the whole time just think those words
that's all you think you're in danger
that's the secret to success just keep
saying those words and realizing there's
nothing else the Nazi guard isn't there
he's not there he has no power on his
own nothing has power on its own
and some
for a moment the priskarov says he was
daydreaming and the Nazi guard started
coming towards him and then he went back
and refocused and he went away and they
went through the whole train ride with
all the Nazis around just with the power
of enomobile
now imagine I tell you
that in another
few days
well you're going to be taking a train
to uh to the city
and there's going to be a Terrace on the
train
when they're taking hostages
and the only way to survive
is
the only way to survive these guys are
shooting around you don't know what's
going to happen the only way to get
through this is you got to close your
eyes and you got to just think that the
only one that decides anything the
bullet is not a bullet the gun is not a
gun nothing is here but
so if I tell you that today what are you
gonna do
you can start practicing and take out
this book and start reading it and
practice it because I want to get all
psyched you see you got up over here
people come up with me all the time the
reason why I could talk about this is
not my book it's the baby's book is not
new with me it has nothing new with me
I'll tell you the truth the real story
about this was
originally
like he mentioned or by Asher has a
safer living amona great safer it's up
to volume six or something so I think I
caught this sold totally close to 200
000 copies 200 000 copies huge
so
I give classes on the beta Levy
I gave now I give a daily b.com class so
I have a recorder I talk into the
recorder for five or six minutes every
single day and they send it out okay now
I'm not a writer I didn't write one word
over you
what happened is I talking to a recorder
and someone transcribes it they type it
up okay they type it up and then I give
it to an editor and the editor makes it
look a little nicer
so my plan was I gave these classes in
the bay telev I gave a 100 short classes
five minutes each I was going to put out
120 lessons in the bay Television right
before Corona
and um I thought it's great great time
in Corona people need be takan it's
going to be good and I gave it to the
rabbi that's uh in charge of the art
scroller but God is Lotto it's actually
with my father-in-law by Sherman and
um I gave it to him to read he has in
his house over Shabbat he says no good
no goodies well what's the problem he
says you're writing a book on the beta
lady
what are you writing classes of your own
delivery Torah if it's the beta Levi you
have the words that beta Levi with the
comments and debate
it's not no good
so we're gonna do I don't know we're not
we're not printing
now this is just as Corona was started
I have a son
young man he's 21 then I think or
something like that and normally he's
learning Yeshiva all day
but now because the corona is stuck in
the house
so morning for three hours he's on the
phone with the claruta the afternoon is
on the phone three hours Chicago can't
be on the phone nine hours a day with
haruta
so at night I gave him a job I said you
know what you do here's my pile of notes
here's the baked Levy you go and you
take everything and you put each piece
where it belongs so my son went put each
piece where it belongs and then my
father-in-law who also had nothing to do
during Corona's name is Rabbi Sherman is
a big Editor to edit it and the whole
book came out by itself so I don't feel
like I'm saying that I did anything
because I didn't do anything I got those
bro who made it I didn't make it really
now the secret is and this is what you
really believe that you never do
anything yourself you never do anything
yourself whatever you think you're doing
you're not doing it looks like you're
doing it but you're not doing it
and when you read this book and the more
you strengthen yourself with this book
when you realize it and you got to do it
every single day you can't a day you
want to make a good New Year's
resolution say I'm going to take this
book home and I'm gonna I'm gonna take
it put it in my with my taleta my
tiffiline and I'm going to read it every
single day because you can't go a day
without it how do I know you can't go a
day without it
it was the great Rabbi of Khan Village
and the rabbi that spoke about this
we think we're going to get back to our
train in a second I'm going off in a
tangent so
was a student to the governor Vilma
and in those days they believed in leech
therapy
heard of leech therapy put leeches on it
sucks out the blood he believed in liege
therapy they used to wear a scarf and
they had the leeches on it and he was
wearing leeches
he goes to a class from the ownerville
and that by the after the class he says
what do I need these leeches for I got
those problems gonna heal me I don't
need leeches he goes and has the leeches
removed
the next day someone sees him he has the
scarf back on his head on with the
leeches again so what's going on
because I don't feel it now like I felt
it yesterday yesterday I just got a sure
for the golden villain I feel it today I
don't feel it the same
every single day you have to keep on
giving yourself that's why I have
another book it's not here now it's
called the daily dose of because every
day you need a dose you can't go without
a dose of beef taco so a great thing to
do is read this book every day but again
let's go back to our story imagine I'm
telling you that this Monday you get on
the train there's gonna be terrorists
all over the place and the only way to
survive the trip is by strengthening
what are you going to do you take out
this book for the next few days and read
about it because you know this is what
you need to make it through a very
dangerous train ride I mean a dangerous
train ride
every one of us is going to be going on
a dangerous train ride this Monday it's
called Rosh Hashanah very dangerous
train ride you're not going to see you
don't see it
but there's a lot of terrorists up there
in the shaman
a lot of terrorists a lot of guns a lot
of things going on in the shemai
we don't know about them until the end
and now next year people always ask me
how was your Rosh Hashanah and I tell
them I'll let you know at the end of the
year I don't know
I'll let you know this Sunday afternoon
I can tell you how my Russian I was last
year and the Spanish guy says he's
supposed to have kavana in the last
minhav of the year the last minute of
the year what do we say in the last year
we have a few minutes left to Sunset
and its end should be we say that in in
the
our end should be good it's over ready
as the famous Babe Ruth said it ain't
over till it's over it's not over yet
it's not over
how do you know you had a good year at
the end of the year that's when you know
you had a good year so we're going to be
going through
a train ride
for two days
and that train ride is gonna be full of
terrorists and how do you survive only
with beef
and the rabbis therefore took care of us
when's the main judgment the main
judgments during musaf that's the main
judgment
and what does musaf have in it there's
three sections
you should take out some time if you
have a magazine there's a translation
understand these these this musaf prayer
but the three sections one's called
malheot which means Hashem is King the
next one's called zikronality remembers
us the third one is called shelf adult
we blow the shofar which refers to
shofar Hasina
and all these pistol came are pissue Kim
that strengthen our emuna and our
betahon and our Clarity in the
fundamentals of our religion
that means when Hashem judges us you
have to have your mind clear
famous question why is Rosh Hashanah
before Yom Kippur famous question
shouldn't it be the opposite if you're
being judged on Rosh Hashanah you're
being forgiven on Yom Kippur should we
first have Yom Kippur be forgiven and
then be judged
why is Rosh Hashanah first that's the
famous question
and one of the answers given is
there's two kinds of crimes
one crime is I'll give you an example
everyone here ever heard of it was a
American man named Jonathan J Pollard
you ever heard of Jonathan J Pollard who
is Jonathan J paular
there's a spot spot what happened to him
he was got caught he was put in jail for
I don't know 30 years or something huh
he got out recently but he was in jail
for over 30 years because he gave
information over to Israel that really
didn't make a difference anyway put him
in jail for 30 years
now you could have a man
who mugs a 90 year old lady
and you're lucky if the guy gets six
months
he could kill somebody and he might get
out after five or six years
why is Jonathan Jay Pollard worse
than the guy that mugged the 90 year old
lady
John St Paul's a nice guy never heard
anybody why are we treating him worse
than this man that mugged the lady 90
year old lady threw on the floor
Jonathan J Paul would never do that why
are we stricter anyone have an answer
what that's one reason yes
give me again what's the reason
they'll give us a good reason what's
what's inside the country huh he
backstrap the country what do you call
that he's a traitor treason
you're not a loyal citizen
that's that's that's it forget about it
that's the worst possible thing in the
world
so now
there's two kinds of sins we could have
a sin very bad to uh each thing that's
not Kosher very big you just mug the 90
year old lady very bad but what's worse
than that
is you don't believe in God
you don't really rely on who
that's worse
who says the first two days that I said
to me to Shuba I want to make sure
you're not a spy that's the first thing
that's the first two days you're not a
spy
and therefore what do we do we have
these prayers that have
that are the three fundamental beliefs
of our religion what are the three
fundamental beliefs
now really they're unbalances there's 13
principles but the later Rabbi said
there's really three main principles
what are the three main principles
number one is
created the world
number two is he's watching everything
that we do and he rewards and punishes
we call it he's watching over everything
and number three is
he gave us the Torah to live Elijah
those are the three important principles
of our of our emuna and if you believe
that you're a loyal citizen
you're a loyal citizen
is going to read 10 pistol Kim that say
Hashem is King
that he's watching us and rewards and
punishers knows what we're doing and
she'll find out is that Hashem gave us
the Torah the shofar as the shofar of
harassing
so in order to be successful in our
judgment we have to be focused on the
right and Muna the right that's the way
to be successful so we don't talk about
any of it no sins on Rosh Hashanah it's
not about that it's about focusing on
not taking him off your mind you're
supposed to work hard every day it says
you're always supposed to have Hashem on
your mind but especially on Rosh
Hashanah who is judging us we have to
have him on our mind we have to think
about it we have to think about him as
the creator of the world
when you sit down and you have your meal
Rosh Hashanah night and you have the
food there you look at the wonders of
the food
look at how how everything has colors
and how everything has design and
purpose you have to talk about that at
the table you have to tell your children
you have to share with them how we see
akadoshburgo in the world
there was a great Rabbi his name was
Levenstein he was the Yeshiva panovich
and
he was I don't know 80 years old his
wife was 78 years old older people
and his wife
made lunch for a husband every day made
soup made salad
and they were simple they didn't have
any uh any uh Electrical uh
processed food processors his wife would
dice the carrots dice the vegetables do
everything by hand
one of the students from America came
back and decided to buy the rabbi's wife
a blender
old-fashioned blender
piece on the bottom three buttons green
yellow orange the glass thing on the top
with the cover
good blender
and he buys it for the rabbi's wife
hoping that this will make her life a
little easier instead of having to make
a soup by hand she'll use the blender
he walks in
and he sees this on the table what is
this is I don't know what it is it
doesn't mean anything to me I'm gonna do
with this it says no from these fancy
things
so he picks it up and he looks at and he
sees wow there's a bottom part of the
blender I see three different colors
buttons that you push
there's a glass piece that fits in
exactly there's a cover that fits in
exactly with another thing
it looks like someone
you know put a lot of time and effort
into making this
it's got to do something
but we don't know how to work it
says let's go let's look in the box oh
we found an instruction booklet
instruction booklet
so but we don't know how to read English
okay we'll get someone that knows how to
read English read the instruction book
and tell us how to use it
and after an hour lesson now she knows
how to use the blender terrific
unbelievable
the next day he walks into the shiba
with the blender
he puts it down in the Teva
and he's about to give a class and he
points at the blender and he says me
Khan from here I see
the Torah comes from the heavens
look at the rabbi like he lost his mind
how do you see from a blender that the
Torah came from God
and he explains
he says we're living in a world
look at the most simple thing in the
world has plan and purpose you have ten
fingers your fingers Bend they hold
things
your nose is situated right above your
mouth and if the milk is sour your nose
smells your nose not in the back of your
head
it's right where it's supposed to be in
front of your head
and your eyes your nose sticks out your
eyes are recessed with bones over yours
and you fall down you're protected and
there's a hole over here for your eyes
and there's a hole for your ears
unbelievable
design and purpose
I didn't come from nowhere must be
someone created just like the blender
didn't come from nowhere
but hold on how do I know how to use
this world
it can't be the one that puts so much
plan and purpose into the world
didn't give me an instruction booklet on
how to use it
that's the Torah but I don't understand
the Torah so there's a rabbi that's
going to explain you how to learn the
Torah that's the kid that translated how
to use the booklet so that's how he's
able to see what such clarity as a
creator
I need to do a short demonstration does
anyone here have an iPhone with a case
on it
iPhone with the case right here huh it's
recording so no good I need one that's I
don't want to this has a case over here
okay here we go
iPhone with the case
okay so here's an iPhone
and here's a case okay
see
now I hope it's a filtered iPhone
I have here a flip phone okay let's look
um very hard to find today a case for
flip phone because they don't make flip
phones anymore so I don't have a case
anymore I have to keep my pocket they
don't make cases anymore
so now
doesn't fit
doesn't fit okay now let's say I told
you I'm not sure whose phone this is but
I told you the guy went on Amazon and he
punched in phone case
phone case
he did not give any information
on what kind of phone he had
it's not even an iPhone it's a Samsung
Galaxy S10 he didn't write that he just
punched on Amazon phone case
that's it
phone case whole list came up he wasn't
looking he just clicked the Button he's
got Amazon Prime he hit buy the next day
lo and behold the exact case that fits
his phone case unbelievable it has
exactly a hole over here
and look at this it has a hole on the
thing on the side
got all the holes over here exactly
matches foam what are the odds of that
happening close to nothing it's never
going to happen I'm going to put it back
together I'm sorry
so
it's not going to happen
now what happens if I told you that
originally you see this man owned a flip
phone and he had a small case for his
flip phone
and then what really happened is the
flip phone grew
and become a became a Samsung and as the
flip phone grew the case grew along with
it
it's out of his mind
take him to a mental Asylum
now
everyone over here uh was born
assume everyone in this room was born
now when you're born
you look at a child they always tell you
be careful the top of the head right top
of that is soft right top of the salt
that means the skull is not yet fully
developed
do you know why the skull is soft why is
the skull soft why couldn't the skull be
hard
huh
wouldn't come out of the womb
it moves
It Moves In and Out when this when the
baby is born
the skull is really I think 10 different
pieces
and as you grow
it finally it it fuses together like
cement
it cements itself together and now your
head is like one piece but it really
wasn't one piece at the beginning
it wasn't one piece
it was many pieces
and it got bigger and then it sealed
itself at the right time now
your skull
is the most advanced iPhone case why do
you have an iPhone case because you've
dropped the iPhone
die formal crack you know what you have
inside of here you've got a brain now if
I would see this I'm banging my head
against the wall nothing happens why not
because I have a skull
I have an iPhone case
now look at this unbelievable iPhone
case
do you ever see a skull it has holes in
it eyes
ears nose and that this is there's holes
in the skull you ever see like the
haunted house the skull there's holes in
the skull
now the holes are exactly where your
eyes are supposed to be and exactly ears
are supposed to be how in the world did
that happen that's like telling that the
iPhone case happened to have holes
exactly where it's supposed to be just
by coincidence it's got a hole over here
for the camera and has a hole over here
for the for the volume button that's the
idea of mind this cannot happen unless
someone planned it so how in the world
can anyone their right mind think that
human beings evolved
we all evolve
it took millions of years billions of
years that's why that's why the world
has to be billions years old by the way
because it's not billions of years old
we don't have time for all these
mutations so what happened to all the
guys that skulls forgot to have holes by
their eyes they all die
remember all the guys in the house holes
by their mouth and nose they also all
died
where are their skeletons we haven't
found them yet we're still looking for
them they're not there
now there's another major question major
question
um
everyone in this room
excuse my terminology has a belly button
raise your hand if you don't have a
belly button
everyone has belly button
you know I have the belly button I have
a belly button
because that's where the umbilical cord
grew out of when you're in your mother's
womb
your mother was eating and drinking and
breathing and all that went into you
through your belly button
Wonder of Wonders Wonder of Wonders and
you could have this in mind when you say
one of the explanations in the Gabbana
is
one gets close one gets oh what does
that mean when you were born
the umbilical cord was open your mouth
was shut because your mouth was open you
drown
so your mouth is shut you can biblical
cord is open you come out of the womb
boom we close the umbilical cord and we
open your mouth if that would not happen
no one would be here there's a certain
thing in the in the they give the baby
the wax sometimes starts to cry boom his
lungs start to work he starts to breathe
he was doing for nine months has that
happened how's that switch
this this tremendous wisdom in that
I once had an idea you could try to you
if you could use this you want it's a
great idea they have when someone's is
Laura Lane or sick
they put them on a respirator
or they have a feeding tube now
respirator is this horrible thing
well I have a great idea why can't we
just put a tube in and put oxygenated
blood into the person
and you don't need no respiratory enough
to breathe well just put blood into your
body with oxygen they can't figure it
out yet
inside the womb
has a tomb growing out of the baby's
belly button into his mother's placenta
providing oxygen and food
and that hat by itself
now what about the baby that it didn't
happen he didn't make it well we don't
have that much time over here you got it
we don't have that much time because the
first baby doesn't make it there's no
Humanity anymore we don't have a billion
years to work out the placenta
how do we work all these things out it's
ridiculous it's the most absurd theory
in the world
theory of evolution is is absurd Beyond
but the whole world believes it
because they don't want to believe in a
kadosh barahu
we're the only ones
that want to believe
and this Monday is the day that Adam was
created and it's our job to get up there
and scream on the top of the rooftops I
was created
I was created that's what the ramban
says the reason why we get together and
pray to say briotech no I was created
and now you created me 58 years ago
but every second of the day you pump
life into me my heart's beating because
you want it to beat everything's
happening because God wants to happen
right now that's that's what animal
means
that means Shalom there's a tumor in
someone's body it's not oh there was a
tumor there and it's just still here no
Hashem has to say keep it going keep it
going if you could just say disappear
just as well
there's nothing to stop it the only
reason why we don't see if you read the
beta Levi after you do a cat skin you
don't see them disappears because God
doesn't make open miracles
but before you take a test
promotion financing once said if you
don't have to take a test the medical
test don't take it I just want to know
though what are you what are you going
now and what's the lady taking a
sonogram to make check up to something
wrong with the concert don't check why
shouldn't I check because what are you
doing anyway
don't check continue to pray and then
it's a hidden miracle and God could
change it we have to believe that
it says that you're not supposed to
count your wheat in The Granary because
it can grow
don't count the money in your wallet it
can grow
it really could
to believe that because make anything
happen
we say
12 times we open the
um
forever your word Hashem is standing in
the heavens what does that mean
what it means is
when Hashem said
we said or
it's not he said ye or 5 700 something
years ago and he made the sun no le Olam
right now if you'd have eyes to see
you'd see Hashem saying he or he or he
or he or he or the sun's not here
because it's still here nothing's here
because it's still here nothing has an
independent existence everything is here
because God Wills to be here now this
standard is only here because Hashem
says there should be a standard there's
no power to this thing say what do you
mean this is a hard standard well now
scientists know you go in the microscope
what is it it's all gas neurons and
protons and electrons and it's all gas
there's nothing here it's just it's made
in a way that it's hard but it's all gas
everything is what is that gas
that's all right son Hashem that's all
the will of God
these are the kind of thoughts you have
to have on Rosh Hashanah in order to
have a good year
the more when you're saying musaf
the more you spend time on these
important pistol came I'm not going to
go through them now it's a class in
itself you can go on uh
itar.com and somehow find it somewhere I
have classes there someplace I don't
know how to find them but
I'll give you one person the first one
we say
foreign
will be king forever when did when was
that said you could just read it first
and go to the next person but if you
think for a moment who said Hashem the
Jewish people when they were splitting
the sea the Egyptians are behind us
the oceans in front of us
who splits the ocean we walk through he
shows
that the water's not water water doesn't
have to flow I decide if water should
fall I can split it and I could bring it
back nothing is that way because it has
to be
and when they saw that they said hashems
and when you say
you're supposed to imagine that the sea
splitting in front of me right now
Hashem
and what does it say our Panasonic is
difficult to spilling of the sea
marrying off our children getting
married is difficult splitting the sea
if you believe Hashem Hashem will split
the sea for you this year
you have to believe that
I'll tell you one story unbelievable
story
the man I know I met up before
as a man I know he spells it he sells
expensive watches expensive watches
Patek Philippe okay expensive watches
anyone who sells expensive watches okay
so now
this fellow five years ago the story
happened this year five years ago he
sells a watch he bought it for a million
and he sold it for 1.3 million okay
he gets a call
this year
that the watch isn't working watch isn't
working
now this guy he tells me I don't have
it's not like you have a business you
can call somebody I'm waiting for
someone to make a call I sell expensive
watches it doesn't have a it's not like
you have a storefront of people walking
in every day like a ShopRite to buy a
1.3 million dollar watch you have to
wait for a customer and word of mouth
and sometimes two months go by and he
hasn't made a sale
what does he do all day he says my
history says
that's what I do he sits he just works
on betahon I'm waiting for a cut that
was broken Yeshua she gets a phone call
from the lady the watch isn't working
can you fix the watch that's part of his
service he he is services to watch okay
so he calls the guy that he uses the
service to watch he tells the the the
service guy says you know what this
watch now 1.3 you can get 3 million for
it it's a 1.8 you saw you get 3 million
for the watch now okay he says why
aren't you off the lady to buy it back
okay so close laces do you mind selling
it back the price you bought it for 1.85
years ago my husband doesn't really like
it anyway yeah why not it's all back to
you for 1.8 so she feels great she
bought it for 1.8 had it for five years
and gave back for 1.8 he gets back 1.8
he sells it for three he makes 1.2
million dollars on one sale and then the
lady has the 1. 1.8 she says she buys
another few watches it's a true story
how did that happen because when he was
saying the musaf to feel I said Hashem
you could split the sea you could make
anything happen there's nothing that
stops you you have to really believe
that now you can only believe that if
you work on this constantly because the
whole world says the opposite the whole
world says it was my strength it was my
power it was my business it was my idea
it was this it was advertising marketing
you have to work on yourself the tenth
Pursuit that we're going to say in musaf
Israel you cover your eyes what do you
cover your eyes when you say my Israel
the zorah says because if you keep your
eyes open you couldn't save everything
that we see looks the opposite what do
you mean I if I wouldn't drive here I
wouldn't get here if I don't drink water
I don't I don't I don't nourish myself
everything looks like
we're doing
so to say Hashem you have to close your
eyes you can't look what's going on and
you got to really think about it who's
running everything that's our job
especially as we get ready for Rosh
Hashanah so
we will work on these important Concepts
you have a few days to go you could uh
you could read through the top in a few
days the top one is the bottom you could
finish the top in a in a day and
actually
um in our shoes
we have a sure before
before uh prayers on Rosh Hashanah we
have a shield we start praying at 7 30
of a class at 6 30 to 7 30.
maybe four or five years ago to say we
started it it was a small little thin
pamphlet before we could put in Hebrew
English and over Rosh Hashanah the two
days the first day we did the first half
the second day we did the second half
and over Russia now we finished the
whole battle Evie so everyone was
psyched and pumped imagine you just read
the top not the bottoms you went through
and read every word and you really
believed it
changes your whole mind
Hashem will take advantage of this great
safer and to school
