Shattered by the uh continued news of

order to protect not only Israel protect
the world to fight this evil so our
learning shabas these precious soldiers

innocent incredibly courageous and
brave paid the ultimate
price demonstrated the ultimate Devotion

for our community and for the world and
esas Gabriel Gabriel penas following the
shear this morning we have the we're
going to divide up all if 30 people stay
each will take five minutes we can
complete all of sa for
on behalf of our brothers and sisters in
Israel and certainly on behalf of the
IDF who are in our thoughts
247 it's hard it's hard to live life
it's hard to do anything mundane it's
hard to
focus when you think about what's
happening when you think about what's on
the
line but that's where our amuna comes in
I'll share with you couple of emails and
then we'll look at this
text that I think is relevant to how we
feel and where we're at and what is
going on Rabbi Goldberg your podcast
blah blah blah blah especially now as I
am a mom of an IDF Soldier I heard the
email from the man who was struggling
and I totally feel for if you remember
last week we read about somebody who was
struggling to find the Amun in this time
went out to her car who wants to uh
can't figure out how to go on the
approach of everything Hashem does is
for the best was not helpful for me in
the situation when facing my fears of
what could potentially happen I want to
share something that has has been
helpful to me when my mind goes in
directions that I don't want to think
about I visualize my
son surrounded by a protective bubble of
light of hashem's love for him this is
caling for me and also increases my by
making the positive outcome more real in
my mind instead of just pick picturing
her son going to battle vulnerable and
exposed and fragile and that risk she
likes to see this Aura of light this
bubble this Cocoon of hashem's embrace
and love somehow surrounding him and
then she followed up and said it's a
very beautiful idea another idea for
anyone struggling with overly checking
the news make a cabala make a commitment
that before checking the news or social
media you'll always first say a peric
ofum if you find yourself obsessively
keep checking and scrolling and checking
and looking and checking that each time
before you check say and then you frame
your checking at least in the context of
it's another opportunity to turn to to
dve into and to ask Hashem certainly
these are trying times for wives and
mothers and family members of anybody in
that Army in the Army and on those front
lines and doing what they're and doing
what they're doing I mentioned then
chabas when I had the privilege last
week of traveling with Rabbi bro and RAB
gibber to Israel on your behalf on our
behalf on our community's behalf
representing and hugging as many as we
could and showering with as much love
and bringing as many supplies and
visiting as many places as we could we
met an outstanding outstanding Ron a r
ofon amazing group of extraordinary
people who were called up not to the
Army but who business people who put
their lives on hold and for the last
month have done nothing but try to
coordinate and help and support and
they're led by raon Ron is not only a
great but he's a he's a warrior he's a
fierce Soldier he's called up to
reservice and he's serving on the on the
northern border the border of Lebanon we
visited there 150 meters from from
Lebanon and uh just to repeat because he
he's on the front line literally the
northern front line but the amuna that
he lives with the amuna that he lives
with is is contagious it is inspiring
it's all inspiring and I told you the
story that he reached into his his
uniform to say want to see my secret
weapon not to me but to somebody I know
so you want to see my secret weapon
they thought it's going to take out the
latest laser the latest technology the
latest gun and they took out
the of the started waving it at the
border atah take this take that take
this take that sh that's our weapon
that's our weapon we need other weapons
it's the M Katana the smaller War we're
fighting is the war with physical
enemies but the bigger War the bigger
battle spiritually we believe we don't
we don't experience these things in a
vacuum and they leave us flooded with
questions that have no answers a feeling
of where is Hashem being so distant
which is also okay there's precedent for
that in this week's
para says
that when he comes to
the says take your son your only son the
son that you love and despite your
prosing and teaching the world that
child sacrifice is egregiously immoral I
want you to do it even though you've
made a name you've become an influencer
you've become you've gone viral for
telling the world not what not to do the
very thing you went viral to tell the
world what not to do I want you to now
do and I want you to do it with your son
the one that you love the one that you
waited for ab was prepared to listen to
the will of Hashem but it's not easy for
him in fact the medish tells us that all
of these obstacles come in his way they
try to stop him the river Rises and he
struggles to cross it and the mountains
and the whole journey is riddled with
obstacles that try to to distract him
and deflect him and he has to overcome
them and the simple understanding of the
medish is that the world itself was sort
of opposing him to fulfill the will of
hem in such a superhuman
way understood this med to mean that
these were all different voices within
aram's own mind questions of doubt and
uncertainty that he
himself am is not binary it's not all or
nothing you're not all there struggle
the great a Who never doubted hashem's
existence and never doubted hashem's
word but struggled even though he got to
the destination of where he needed to be
it was a circuitous route it wasn't
simple the mountains got in his way so
the mountains
represent the parents what AM my moral
obligation to my parents how could I do
it to my child each of the physical
natural phenomena that presented as an
impediment were representative his own
mind of a struggle and even when he
arrives at the Destin when he first sees
the place that he's supposed to offer
that he's supposed to
offer he sees that place may it feels
like Hashem is far away it's from a
distance H is the name that we used for
hasem when he's far away when you pay a
Shiva call 13 families not sitting
shiva 13 more families 13 soldiers so
far should say so far 13 soldiers please
God only in total in this ground
invasion now sitting shiva those who pay
a Shiva call daughter in seminary just
returned from a Shiva call in they're
getting an education nobody dream they'd
get in their year in Israel this whole
experience so you
say that's the
language why do we use that name for God
May the M May the place simple
understanding is God Is Here There and
Everywhere God is in every place and
even when he feels absent hasm is
everywhere so hak hak he's everywhere
even here even in the Sha house even at
this horrifically tragic funeral I know
these losses have impacted people in
this
room one of the young men killed lived
in my parents building modan saw the
video of outside the building today the
street lined with people to escort the
family
hem is everywhere even even on that
street even in those Shiva homes even at
those funerals but first says the word h
the name of
of is the name that we invoke for Hashem
when he feels far
away when he feels at a great distance
like where are you what's going on how
could this happen we still believe we
see him we don't waver we're
uncompromising we're unyielding we still
believe we're all in he's in charge he's
in control we surrender we submit it's
his world everything's for a reason but
right now that just feels far
away so when hem feels far away we
say said at the the P we
say why why do we use the name at the
Seder because what follows the paragraph
of the four sons and one of those Sons
is
the Russia and if a person's struggling
with a child who's a
Russia feels far away he feels far away
so what's amazing is that for us he
feels far away and it's understandable
and for so many I'm sure do Ron he's
right there Hashem he's right there
casualties are are horrific devastating
setbacks but Hashem is in charge and
he's right by their side and and the
Army it's in their eyes and you feel it
and you see these videos are coming out
of those who are going into
Gaza and it's like tanak is coming alive
what tanak says the Jewish Army does
before they go
in singing praying daving turning to us
you've seen videos of soldiers telling
all of us we're going in
DAV so to wave
that with everything
else all we have all we can lean on is
you it may appear this is a battle of in
tunnels and around corners and urban
Warfare It's a question of technology
and drones and and and the newest
missile defense and all that's accurate
and true and we're grateful to those who
fund it and support it and those who
invent it and those who deploy it but
all that is just the Matrix all of that
is just the way it appears down here
behind it as believing amuna faithful
yid we believe that all of that is just
the matrix it's the way it appears down
here there's something bigger going on
and the way that we influence and the
weapons that we deploy in the Iron Dome
that we invoke our our daving and our
learning and our and our love for one
another and our and we can't we can't
waver we can't slow down we can't
hesitate we can't get
distracted if you go into Gaza you can't
be distracted for a moment for a moment
there's no luxury of being distracted
for a moment and we don't have the
luxury of being distracted Not For a
Moment Not For a Moment so that's that's
our mission K can be found even in these
dark places and dark times sometimes it
can most be found because there's
nowhere else to go and no one else to
lean on the more the world seems to be
piling up against
us a month ago nobody could have
imagined depicted the countries the
places the
campuses the members of Congress the
members of the media many are standing
with us and for that we are so grateful
but the data and the statistics of who
are Rising against us could you ever
imagine a month ago I tell you that
Jewish students in Cooper Union would
lock themselves in a library for their
lives imagine I tell you that Cornell
University they'd have to shut down the
hill and tell Jewish students stay in
your dorm
room Colombia Jew students would be
threatened for their
lives thank God for the New Yorkers boy
do they have Niel PEB but I'll tell you
more and more videos are coming out
these non-jewish New Yorkers who aren't
tolerating those who are tearing down
the posters
unbelievable those who bless us should
be blessed they should be
blessed they got to clean up their
mouths but they should be blessed you
got you could watch watch the videos on
silent turn watch the videos with the
sound
off just W watch the video with the
sound off but boy it's nice it means
something it feels it feels good when
someone has a little solidarity but you
look in the eyes of the soldiers and you
see the will of CLA and the amuna and
the how could waiver ride their
coattails we've spoken in the past about
when we're struggling use someone else's
Hot Spot watch the video of the soldiers
who are unwavering in their amuna
so-called secular soldiers who never
heard of Titus are put on fillan until
now my friend Ru biston kabad of
Parkland who's back in Israel this week
for the second time he can't stay awake
away just left me a voice note this
morning describing they have a Sofer and
a safer Torah and they're going Bas to
base soldiers are writing in their
letter to complete a safer
Torah soldiers who never opened up Torah
never felt Bound by Torah never were
part of the community of Torah who are
now writing their letter in Torah
finding their place their name in Torah
just amazing amazing things so there
there are Hotpot you're you have no
connection you're buffering you're in
and out it's not a not a high speed not
a low speed you're no connection
find someone with a hot spot and the
soldiers there they're are hot spot and
connect through them because it's
amazing it's amazing their their amuna
their is just uplifting so let's look at
this this comes from the amaros
toos
the the one who passed away just a
couple months ago on this week's para
but I saw it preparing the par and I
said no no I got to save this for amuna
I have to save this for amuna and he
says the foll
P side that's page 118 the left hand
column he
ques ques from the
B woke up in the morning to
the again that name the name forem m can
mean Place m is a name of hem when he
can feel at a
distance
us
there quotes two
Traditions Shak three times a day is it
modeled after the carbonos is it modeled
after Theos so one tradition is a
instituted Shak and instituted and yov
instituted Mar my wife's favorite joke
you know why yov instituted Marv because
if you had 12 children who had bath time
and bedtime you'd also have to go out
for
Mar yov stituted Mar had to go out for
Mar Mar's never had a good
time never had a good time Mar could be
at 5:00 it could be at 8:30 at
night never a good time never a good
time so the rabbis learned that AB woke
up in the morning he was in the m and
heak and we learned from here that just
like abakus he began each and every day
by leaning into that relationship with
hem by surrendering and submitting by
doing this exercise of humility by
saying Hashem you're in charge you're in
control here is a list of all the things
universally we need s Snippets we're
making our way now through the we
started the
nth Hashem we need livelihood we need
income we need parasa we covered just
now we need good health we need recovery
we need strength physically emotionally
spiritually we want we want salvation we
want Redemption these 133 requests
supplications the middle section of the
amida are what
authored of the universal needs a person
could ever have if you want to know what
should you consider what you need notice
none of them are I need the latest
iPhone I want a Tesla I need a bigger
house I want a nicer vacation I need
more jewelry all that you have to put
into Shu there is no there's no BR you
know what the braa is let's go back to
the basics you know what the basics are
what the BR is you need you need your
mind you need your memory you need your
intellect because if you're
alive NE there are people suffering and
struggling with dementia and
Alzheimer's perfectly healthy physically
but if you don't have your
mind then what life are you living for
the people struggling with it and those
who take care of them
heartbreaking that's a universal need
that's a universal need
and fight our fights because if your
life is filled with struggle and fight
and conflict what life that has no peace
no Serenity andu Health if you don't
have your health what do you have that's
why is before if you don't have your
health what good is your money you all
know the famous Jewish comedian your
money or your life who was it Jack Benny
Jack Benny I'm thinking there's a whole
new a whole new one for
that I won't embarrass her but someone
related to me who's in Israel for her
year sent a little video with one of the
sirens right outside the the shelter
said hm there's no Wi-Fi in there should
I stay here or go your money or your Wii
your life or your Wi-Fi said no I don't
even mean to make it she went in
everyone relax my mother's watching she
went in it was a joke on her way in she
had a minute to get it was a joke but
it's an updated version of that question
your your life or your Wi-Fi you know so
so AB Aina wakes up in the morning and
he turns to Hashem he says the first
thing to start his day is is the am the
very first thing to start his day is
Hashem here are the Universal needs a
person could
have and go through all the rest of them
that's how he starts his day here's the
only problem thank you so much here's
the only problem that daving that AB did
after which we model all of
shakar every Jew everywhere in the world
for thousands of years wakes up and
starts their day by daving shakas and
where do we get that from a here's the
question about the shakas this question
never ever occurred to
me this a was not accepted at
all why do we model all of our daving
after a daving that AB asked and the
answer was no which was this
s it's an incredible question the B I
don't understand we model and we learn
all of our doing after a every day start
your day begin your Day begin your day
with an expression of humility
expression of gratitude an expression of
dependence and relying on hasem with
reviewing what are our Universal needs
what are our hierarchy what's our
priority what matters what's important
beautiful we all know that
shaku here's the thing a got a know so
we're modeling starting our day after
aram's request that he got a no to can
we find a yes can can we find an example
of someone who got a yes and then we
should begin our day modeling ourselves
after the yes that abam got and he
answers what you see from here is the
opposite we Da Model art not only when
there's a yes we model our after the
opportunity to pour out our hearts to
hem whether it's a yes or a no whatever
the answer is Hashem heard he
collected a Jew never gives up we never
despair we never hopeless we never feel
that a f was wasted it was squandered we
don't ever feel what was the point there
are people there are circumstances there
are situations we poured out our heart
we davened endlessly we DED relentlessly
we DED with the greatest sincerity and
and we didn't get a yes we didn't get
the answer we didn't get the
intervention we didn't get the response
or the solution so was it all waste was
it all for nothing was it all a waste of
time Shalom where do we see that from
the very first person who introduced us
to this doing of
shakas got a know tried he advocated he
protested he objected tried and he set
the precedent for all of us think about
what ding is right there's all these
questions protests debates I I don't
understand it's not a criticism it's I
don't understand I think it let me put
it to you this way it would be wonderful
if a thousand Jews went to Cornell
University and went to the hill and
sponsored dinner for all the Jewish
students and said we're not afraid open
up we're here these protests when are we
going to have a million person March in
Washington when are we going to fill the
Streets of London and Paris and New York
and Fort Lauderdale protest is all these
questions and everyone's waiting for the
other person to organize it and when and
will and is it effective and is it a use
of time and money resources and should
we and all these questions but you know
we start our day every day with the
first protest of the day think about
what daving is it's the first protest of
the day hasem I don't like what you're
doing over here I want you to change
what's going on over there I'd like you
to reconsider what's happening with me
over
here it's a protest there's no Banner
there's no flag there's no megaphone but
we begin our day daving is essentially a
series of protests here are my
objections here's my protest here I'm
raising my voice here I'm expressing to
you how I feel what I'm advocating for
what I want you to change what I want
you to switch what I want you to do
differently where do we learn that from
who gave us license why are we entitled
he's the omnipotent Perfect all knowing
God and who are we finite mere mortals
why what right do we have where's our
license
because he says first
says am I going to conceal from a what I
plan to do with st and says thank you
for thank you for trusting me and
telling me honored I appreciate it now
don't do it now that you invited me to
have an opinion because you told me
about it here's my opinion don't do it
they've got to be 50 sikim
4540 they've got to please please
reconsider I can't stand idly by I won't
be in different I have to raise my voice
Hashem whatever you decide in the end
I'm with you you're in charge you're in
control whatever you decide is right and
righteous but I have to raise my voice
that's why you gave me a voice that's
why you gave me the power to speak
adish was endowed with the power of
speech long
before came into existence whom did he
speak
to why was he given the gift of speech
before there was anyone to talk to
because the original purpose of speech
is to talk to Hashem oh once we could
use it to talk to Hashem it also comes
in handy to talk to each other but don't
think I use my power of speech to talk
to each other now I have the power of
speech to communicate with others I
might as well use it also to talk to
Hashem we have it backwards the whole
original use the original intent the
original purpose of the power of speech
is to talk to
him Ali we're talking to him from when
we wake up till we fall asleep at night
talking to him all day hasem help this
kid get ready and go to carpool easily
let him not be frustrating let it not be
difficult hasem let it not be traffic
let the light turn green let me get
there on time Hashem let this business
deal go through Hashem let the color
rise and come out well hasem let that
whatever we all day long we're talking
to him the original purpose why we have
a voice why who invented a world with
communication is to communicate with him
ah once we communicate comes in handy to
communicate with each other too it's
really handy but the original use is to
communicate with him and aru takes that
power of speech the capacity for
communication and he takes it and he
says okay you gave me the ability to
speak you invited me to raise my voice
I'm not only protesting to members of
Congress and presidents and prime
ministers not only protesting media and
Qatar and uh wherever
else Starbucks Union but not the main
thing
but sephoria I told my children we're
protesting the home Mall since it's
unclear since it's unclear who's for and
who's against we're being M to boycott
the
home our family is taking on and Amazon
is selling children shirts that say from
The River To The Sea where M all Amazon
yeah right now we have to make a
statement to the whole Amazon the Amazon
is on hold we're not going to the
Amazon so they're selling these shirts
yeah we got to protest we've got we've
got to protest we've got to raise our
voice but where does it begin who's
really in charge who's really in control
where is it most important to raise our
voice to speak truth to power you got an
audience in the Oval
Office you'd Raise Your Voice we are in
the ultimate office of hm where wherever
you are whenever you open your tum open
your sitter whenever you open your mouth
whenever you open your mouth he says
earlier in
here
begins appears to wherever he
is and where is P the opening of the O
the opening of our body is our mouth AR
is using he's speaking to hasem hasem
appears to him and he uses that
appearance of Hashem as an opportunity
to talk to him so wherever you are you
could be talking to him the P the
opening of the the opening of our mouth
is the invitation the opportunity to
talk to hasem
and protests he says here are my
feelings enough that was myak this
morning Bon 13 I don't understand it and
I have difficulty accepting it and I'm
broken by it and I'm begging you enough
that's it that's it that's it that's it
no more no more I'm objecting I'm Pro
protesting I'm rallying I'm advocating
that's why we're given this gift and
this capacity and where do we learn that
from if we doed on condition that we
were answered what kind of doing would
that
be if we doed only on condition that we
got the answer we want did we in fact
even really
doav what makes doing meaningful is that
what we say is Hashem I surrender to you
here's the world the way I see it but if
it's a choice between the world the way
I see it and the way you see it my
finite Vantage Point your infinite view
I surrender to you of I'll raise my
voice I'll protest but in the end of the
day whether it's a yes or a no I won't
stop asking I won't stop speaking I
won't stop turning to you I won't stop
talking to you it all goes together so
where do we learn that from where do we
learn that we should DAV even if the
answer is no that there's a value in
connecting in surrendering that we grow
in our amuna that we grow in our
humility where do we learn that from
where do we see that from why bother why
does it matter why should we do it why
not despair why not give up hope why not
have we got to know okay sitter stays
closed now where do we learn that from
only from the very person that taught us
Al
together
don't stop
doing you got to know there were 13 NOS
over the last couple days open the sit
open the more sincerely more intensely
more
more because we have no idea where those
fos are collected and what happens with
them they're not wasted they're not
squandered they're not worthless they
didn't go nowhere the Reon collects them
and he stores them and he banks them and
he files them
maybe the 13 we're going to be 30 maybe
the 13 we're going to be
300 maybe the 13 we're going to be
1300 all those filos they're banked
they're stored they mean something they
make a different they move move the
cosmos they weren't allocated over here
we didn't see it manifest or expressed
in the way that we wanted but who
deploys he's got the ultimate
spreadsheet he collects art filos and he
uses it they say money's all fun
so you have a bank account and we
thought the withdrawal was over here but
meanwhile ouros are funding something we
don't even know about we doed for
someone and we didn't get the answer we
wanted for them but those fos we don't
know if they cured if they healed if
they extended the life of someone else
we deposits our job is to make deposits
how the money in the account is
allocated we're not in control we're not
in charge we're not signatories we don't
put our signature on the check of how
the money is allocated all we do is make
deposits we make deposits Theon Shalom
spends how he spends he has an infinite
omnipotent view strategy we don't get
access to see we don't get to look at
the records we don't get to review
exactly how it got deployed all he keeps
telling me is look I got a lot of
expenses your bank account's running out
I'm begging you make deposit
learning Hashem says I can't add to the
bank account that you do through your
through your free will you deposit in
the bank account me I make withdrawals I
run the world I know exactly the way the
world works I know where it needs to be
deployed I know it's just and righteous
and fair I know what's good not what's
painful but I know what good I do the
allocate the I do the allocate
deposits is you so is looking down at us
right now and he's
saying my precious children the bank
account's running low bank accounts
running low quick make deposits open
your tillum open your sitter run to do a
Express make shom quick make deposits
because there's so many bills that need
to be paid 500,000 soldiers on a front
line there are so many bills that need
to be paid so many Shiva homes that need
comfort and strength an economy that
will be in
shambles Jews that are targets of
anti-Semitism around the world Hashem
says there are so many requests and I
want to be able to fulfill them but I
can't until you make deposits so don't
ever look and say what was the point I
put money in the bank and when I went to
withdrawal I didn't get to take it out
because you never entitled to think you
get to take it out
we're not in control of taking it out we
don't we don't get to do withdrawals our
name is not on the check we don't have a
debit card we can't control what we
withdraw all we're in charge of is what
we deposit what we
deposit it's wrong to read the and say
AB established shakas didn't just
establish shakas establish daving making
a deposit even when you don't get to be
in control of the withdrawal a
established daving even when the answer
was no you keep ding even when you
didn't get to withdraw you make another
deposit over and over and over
again now you can understand the
continues that remains standing in
before
what does it mean that a remained
standing before hem you know what it
means that this image this precedent of
aam standing and daving even when he
wasn't in charge of the withdrawal even
when he got a no even when he got 13 NOS
that is what carries us until today
you'll say that's good for aam a was a
ainu aam is a patriarch AR is
the is the great a he had such a he was
a child and he
of course can continue to D we got to
know but
me I don't have that amuna me struggling
with doubt with uncertainty trying to
find Hashem I don't have it in me the
answer is you
do because how did you in Shak this
morning what did you make the of
concludes we
say we invoke andov but the G tells us
tell us that hm tells AB while your
children and yob get
mentioned you that's how we finish
the now normally we understand that to
mean abam means Hashem you are the
shield of ab Iron Dome and uh what's the
other one we just used the arrow the
first time couple days ago you're the
mugging Iron Dome you're the shield of a
and his prog his
children doesn't just mean you are the
protector of you are our protector as
well m means you protect the aam in each
and every one of us it's an all new
kavana when you say this every day the
amid three times a
dayem I believe that you put his DNA in
me so you know what I have that capacity
I have that ability I have his DNA I
have his DNA it gives me all kinds of
gastrointestinal issues because I have
ashkanazi DNA if I have to live with all
the gastrointestinal disease of the DNA
then I also have the faith of the DNA I
also have the fortitude of the DNA I
also have the tenacity and resolve of
the DNA I also have the am and of the
DNA Hashem preserves the DNA of aam
inside each and every one of us we are
his progeny we are his children we are
his off spring and we have that ability
to never have
y there is
Noom if you have it's because you're not
thinking
properly one of the highlights of my
life was dancing with soldiers last
Wednesday night
in as jonan razelle
sang for me so joke of a dance but
dancing with soldiers serving risking
their
lives there is no despair there is no
hopelessness there is no giving up there
is no failing to make more deposits more
and more and more and where do we know
how can we be so confident that we have
that strength we have that faith we have
that fortitude we have that
ability because preserves the A and it's
in our DNA it's in our very DNA whether
you're born Jewish or whether you
converted to be Jewish you know a
convert in their and the way they're
called up to the Torah they're
benu they are even more identified
withu the born Jewish Jew by choice all
of us are the children of A and M hasem
preserves that capacity of the a in US
Hashem preserves it protects it
because this latest War war of CLA Isel
a fought the War of the Four Kings and
the five Kings a rescued L from Sodom
aam fought the first Wars of the Jewish
people and fast forward we're still
fighting Wars all these years later T
the war of sim T
2023 we're still fighting Wars
andu he woke up and he DAV that morning
and he's still standing and daving
through each and every one of us main AR
it's preserved in us he's still ding
through each and every one of us through
each and every one of us so that's the
T all of our every day we get up and we
D and we
say just like my Z DAV for you not to do
to sto in the end you told him you were
in charge you were in control and he
still didn't stop daving I'm ready for
shakas I'm gonna tell you what I think
I'm gonna raise my voice and protest I'm
going to Rally but in the end of the day
whereever you answer me I'm going to
keep daving because that's the precedent
that's the very first F was M Shak but
not a shakar that got a yes was m a
shakar that got a no and
he's but he's still daving and we too
even if we get a no we get 13 NOS we get
1400 NOS we get 240 captive
nose we come back and we dve and we DAV
and we DAV and we deposit and we deposit
and we deposit and we don't stop making
deposits because you're in charge of the
withdrawals we don't understand we don't
get to see the account we don't get to
review your spreadsheet we have to keep
coming back to make
deposits he
continues now the truth is we think that
got a know and it wasn't accepted but
every f is accepted just not necessarily
in the way that we intended in the way
that we think it's not wasted it's not
squandered it doesn't go
nowhere he said would you save the whole
world if there are sikim and there are
sikim in every generation 36 righteous
people who hold up the whole world the
ding is heard it's answered Hashem said
yes to AB it's a deal if you could find
the minimum number of sadim I won't
destroy that was heard because until
this very day if there are minimum
number of Hashem doesn't Destro the
world so it wasn't heard in the way aam
expressed it for sto but it was heard
because until this very day the
righteous people of every generation are
what holds up the entire world are what
holds up the entire world and then he
continues he said
says it says she threw the child under
one of
the he stopped thinking only about the
child like
a when we D part of our Dominic should
be not just the soldiers the people our
view of the world how it affects us
we're broken but Hashem what about you
what about you your brand has taken an
enormous hit we're your chosen people
we're your children and the more that
Terror and evil can re the more that
anti-semites could raise their voice
voice the more that we suffer
losses in the
world every time they every time they
take a life there's an enormous there's
an absess there's a void
created of your name soem don't just
that's part of oura don't just do it for
us from our Vantage Point our heart we
don't want to be devastated or broken or
people that we love or families that we
know but we're also doing for you Hashem
you your name your honor your brand your
mission to be revealed in this world
that's the most effective in fact that's
the feel of mosenu when mosha doens to
Hashem after the agle after the maragam
every time hashem's like I've had it
people are I'm done with them they're
not worthy they're not carrying out
their mission they're not fulfilling
their purpose I'm done and each time
mosha says I hear you I hear you I don't
blame you but here's the thing Hashem
and this is moshe's trump card with
Hashem of course hm knows it who do you
think taught it to Moshe but Moshe comes
to hasem and he says they don't deserve
it they're horrible they're
encourageable I also have no patience
left for them but here's the thing if
you wipe them out what are people G to
say how's that going to impact your name
your being revealed in this world your
purpose and Mission to repair and redeem
this world and Hashem says fine you're
right I guess I have to let him continue
that's the F that we follow we have to
invoke that in theum we're going to say
right now momentarily the that we offer
from the sitter or from our heart in our
own words as we're daving for people we
know I keep on my stender picture of my
nephews in uniform right now one on the
northern border one on the southern
border one who's finishing their basic
training doing shmir also at
risk we don't just doing for them we
look at their faces we think of their
names every one of us know holy precious
but we saym what about you how is all
this impacting your name your brand your
vision your your purpose for this world
do it for you no more losses for you a
sweeping triumphant victory for you you
know when hashem's brand took an
enormous not hit but was
elevated I wasn't Al lie for it but I'm
told after The Six Day
War my mother describes you walk down
the street of Manhattan every Jew was 10
feet tall non-jews looked at Jews like
every one of them was the strongest 10
foot tall Giant
that after the sixth day world war the
whole world was like wow those people
God's on their side he loves them it's
incredible everyone wanted a peace of of
God of the Jews Aliah spiked conversion
spiked people wanted to study about
judism spiked people's fear of Jews
spiked think about it now it's the
opposite hashem's name is taking a hit
the Jewish people take a hit and we're
fair game say Hashem for you forget for
us we're unworthy don't do it for us but
for you for you for your brand for your
name so that we could fulfill our
mission and purpose and bringing
Redemption to this world do it for you
we also learn this idea from this
para so it hurts it hurts it hurts so
badly it
hurts
stings sets us back he feels like
H he feels so far away but don't
despair the soldiers are our hot spot
when you feel disconnected and ready to
give up connect through a soldier turn
on one of those videos watch it over and
over see them sing and dance see them
scream
Hashem use them as your Hotpot for a
highspeed connection because in my life
clel never needed as many deposits as we
need now we need to make deposits over
and over and over again K will make the
withdrawals and even when it feels like
the money didn't get allocated where we
wanted it we D for someone specific we D
for something specific and we got to
know you know who else got to know and
he didn't stop daving only the person
who established all
daving he didn't slow down he didn't
stop he's ODU hasem he all these years
later is still standing where where do
you see him in every one of you and
every one of us each time we open that s
that t each time we open our heart we
talk to hem a the aam is preserved he's
still inside us he's still talking to
Hashem so please stay for a few more
minutes we'll finish all T and take
literally just a couple minutes we'll
make a deposit of all of saer and don't
stop until they can stop we can't
stop you should hear yesh sweeping
Victory so the world sees the Y we can
experience
