an enormous that we have a tremendous
privilege we have this morning to
welcome the raita to our community he
been giving shum this is now the second
year mitem we'll learn together in soon
but if not he can continue to come andem
to inspire us the r of sh's Torah every
week I quote we share in so many
different contexts it opens our eyes and
it warms our heart and it touches the
depths of our soul and uh there are
people that you feel that you live on
the same Planet you occupy the same
space and the same Globe but you're
living in two totally different worlds
some are living in the physical world in
the here and now and some are living on
another plane altoe and yet they open
our eyes and invite us to live there
with them a little bit and of sure is
such a person such a giant who and Torah
as I say open our eyes the r is running
to the airport but has uh so grateful
has generously agreed to share a few
minutes with us to speak on amuna on
topic is amuna as soon as he has to run
to the airport we'll continue with our
usual amuna she with our letters I was
sharing with the R so many of the
letters that come in the inspiration
that it provides and back to the safer
that we're learning together but before
we begin what an enormous and privilege
it is for us to welcome to welcome
the Fulfillment
of which
is brings
to but auna is not something that is
achieved easily
the tells us I
believe because I
talk in other words the posic teaches us
that to achieve
a you have to talk about amuna what does
it mean talking about amuna
[Music]
bringing into our
lives the more we talk
about meaning I realize that only with
the help of hasem only with the help of
God can I do something which we use the
words and when we thank God for
something that
happens
that's I believe because I talk even
though when I say thank you Hashem
or
or it's not
100% by me clear that it's only Hashem
that did it but by saying it and by
talking it it automatically influences
the person to become a true M AA has
stages you can't achieve the highest
stage and jump to the highest
stage when you went up to do
the
avido the job of a priest a Cen in B
mikd and he went up to the m to the
altar he didn't go up with steps he went
up with a
plank
why our sages teach us steps you could
skip a
step step you could step over a step in
a plank you have to take step by step by
step if not you'll fall or slip
back Judaism you can't jump steps you
have to take baby steps one at a time
and you achieve auna is something that
there are so many different stages in
auna so many
different stages where a person can
reach with AA we can't think that we can
reach the High a stage just in a day or
just by 10 minutes a day or whatever it
takes day after day after day and a
person grows he goes up the ladder one
rung at a
time is the Fulfillment
of is
harder means living amuna not only being
a person that believes not living that I
believe
V says there are 13 stages
of meaning there's a smallest a lowest
stage of a higher stage of another stage
of is something that you also have to
grow in the brings you to more brings
you to but it's something that comes
from talking
says in the
prophet to CL isra he
says the is
lost because it's cut from the mouths in
other words the PK teaches you in the N
you know why you lost them you know why
you lost
because you don't talk you don't have
the enough in your life thank you hasem
is a very nice statement but sometimes
it's an empty statement it's a language
that we learned we have to learn to talk
more about hem in a clearer way to
realize that asem is the one who does
everything to realize all that we have
is only because Hashem gave it to us to
realize we can't take anything alone in
this world we'll end with a
story there was a sadic called ra
chob he lived in
Ukraine he's buried in this town chob
which all of you know about such a
town and he was a orphan and he was
brought up by a
stepmother the stepmother gave the
children bread with
butter
him they gave she gave
bread she was a stepmother and there
wasn't any money around so the children
she gave a little bit of butter him not
he was a
three-year-old a three-year-old he he
wanted have butter so under the steps
there was
a pale with
plaster plaster looks to the eye of a
child of two three years old as butter
and he buttered his bread with
plaster and of course when he ate it he
realized that this is not what they were
eating he said he learned then at the
age of three you don't take anything
alone in this
world there's no such thing as taking
alone you only take what was given and
everything is given
byes we have to realize that and we have
to repeat that and we repeat that again
until we reach one stage of amuna
another stage of auna and another stage
of auna there are a lot of stages in
auna one time AA is 102 two times Thea
is 204 is already at sadic three times
Thea is every woman here should know you
have to have already three times Thea
Isa is the numerical value of three
times a it goes up and up and up
everything every time of AA you gain
another stage you could go up all the
way and see
how you achieve you achieve more you
achieve more the basic that we all have
to have are
three past present future past created
the world
present is the one who runs everything
in the present World future they come a
time when the whole world will know and
see for our their eyes that is one we
should be to see it we should have the
ability to be there when the future is
clear for us but three times Thea is the
numerical value of an Isa it's also the
numerical value of Das because the life
of is as sweet as could be is as
pleasant as could be without worries
without anything to bother you and you
could be you could achieve that by
talking by repeating and by living with
okay
wow
yes okay
I don't necessarily unless you know of
sure you don't necessarily know what a
what a privilege that is uh he's one of
the Giants of our generation one of the
most Brilliant Minds and character and
hearts and
souls um his father R the or
R he today is the he has a
and his many many many tens of that he
puts out on every single topic and his
wisdom advice and blessings are sought
from around the world and uh he's a very
very special person it's the second time
he's
come you can't hear me I
hope um if you'd see his eyes his deep
blue eyes you feel like they can going
through the back of your head and could
make you light up on fire so
um but this the second year that he's
come the many I think he was got here
Sunday night it's now Wednesday morning
he's leaving I think he gave maybe 30
sheum around South Florida in the time
that he was here but the most precious
thing is to see not the shum that he's
giving in front of large audiences and
sophisticated mature adults but is to
see the teenagers but when he sits in
our backyard line up one by one and
there are boys who are struggling boys
who were off who weren't keeping shabas
weren't putting on Fillin they sit with
rure who looks into their soul and
believes in them and I found out that
since last year some of these teenage
boys that he met with have been speaking
to him on the phone daily check in he
checks in with them they check in with
him he keeps talking about how much he
believes in them and he brings out a lot
in them it's a very very special and as
I said and I only said it partially
mostly because I'm incredibly afraid of
him but I said in front of him that
there are people that make no mistake we
feel like we all live on earth and we
all have to eat and we all sleep and we
all are human beings and we're all in
the same Globe but there other people
we're in the physical world they're in
the metaphysical world we see what's in
front of us they see an energy and a
metaphysics and a world and a truth the
gatria he alluded to the numerical value
that he could have gone all that's his
specialty if you look every week his
what he puts out the D Torah so I I've
sat with him and I asked him you sit
with a calculator I have to you know
okay Al is one plus the thing is 40 does
that work out he sees he sees not he'll
talk you say your name and say oh that's
this P he sees the numbers they they
come together they work out the world
The Matrix and the illusion that we're
living in we see the illusion and he
sees the Matrix he sees the numbers he
sees they're all anyway it's a big big
and his few words is a lot more that he
could elaborate on Andia cotton I feel
humbled and small to continue but I
continue with you and back on what we do
and the letters that we got and so I'm
glad that we we had this special
opportunity our Muna series is always

that's what of said baby steps the plank
the ramp one by one don't jump don't
skip don't feel pressured to live more
than you are or Beyond where you're
holding baby steps baby steps so that's
what we're working on that's what we're
working on so our big theme our big
motto I did get the stickers that came
in for the back of the phone we will
will uh sell them or distribute them
embrace your place you're exactly where
you're meant to be so when you sit turn
your phone over you see that sticker so
wherever you are whatever is happening
however frustrated you are so I want to
share with you and I got an email from a
listener Kim H who shared with me this
Insight beautiful beautiful Insight Mel
Beerman me says the following this week
this week is pum in case you didn't
notice wasn't on your calendar but
tomorrow night I believe it is yeah not
nearly ready but tomorrow night is pum
so says the
following says
that a person who lives in but is in a
city that celebrates p on the 14th of
Adar must keep p on the 14th it's
interesting we know that a w city a city
that's walled has a different day of Pam
than an unwalled city so we will all
observe Pam on the 14th of Adar and a w
City like shushan was a wall City
observed per not the 14th when the 15th
of the next day what we
call and why is that we don't have yes
we keep two days of they keep one day
but the idea that the whole holidays on
a different day depending on your ZIP
code your address where you live we
don't have that why is that specific or
unique to purm is a topic for another
time how does it work this year this
year is what's called a Pur M and if you
live in your shal there are aspects of
pm on Friday chabas and the real P are
the suda the Mish the
are on Sunday we're going to have P here
Friday I happen to be flying to on Mo
shabas I have a wedding next week I'll
be back next Wednesday morning but not
in time I think for the shear so we'll
have to I'm giving the amuna actually in
y on Monday so we'll put it out from
there from Monday but I leave Tuesday
night so I land Sunday at four o'clock
4:30 I'm gonna try to get toim and catch
the end of pum so p in B Friday P Sunday
it's going to be amazing I'm looking
forward unfortunately the time I get to
it might be the worst part of PM which
is the cleanup from puram so we'll see
what's happening before I get there so
the the gamor says a person who lives in
but you're in bees you're in modin
you're in ranana you're in N you're in
you're not when do You observe pum so
the gar says a person who lives in but
is on on Pam located in a city that
celebrates on the 14th Friday must keep
per on the 14th his status is determined
by his present location not by his
permanent residence he gets his mail in
Yim he fills out the form his address
isim but he happens to be visiting The
Gladstones and ranana on on the 14th so
when does he when does he observe ranana
is that where you're going back to Nat
Rana Nat he's a Nat with the GL so he's
going on the 14th so you don't follow
the permanent residence you follow you
where are temporarily why it's in
contrast with most y toen for example
when some and this is a little
controversial everybody relax but I
follow my re who followed his that when
a person from America visits Israel for
p how many days do you keep two so I
understand my permanent residence is B
so if I'm in Israel for P I keep two
days because my residence is bokeh but
when someone from is In N they keep P
him on the 14th not the 15th that's a
different conclusion why why why is pum
different so the answer says you ready
this is why sent this to me in an email
the answer is that P teaches
us the whole story of p is hashem's name
does not appear in the Milla explicitly
it does every time you see the word h
some millas every column Begins the word
h the mill is written so that every
column begins with the word h and
whenever it says the word h the king it
doesn't mean the physical
King it is a reference said the gr ofon
H the King of Kings the almighty who was
pulling the strings who was behind the
scenes so when the Milla of the last
year and a half since October 7th will
be written the newest book of Tanakh
will be so to say added it will tell you
a story that won't have God's name it'll
talk about beepers it'll talk about
ballistic missiles from Iran it'll talk
about explosions on buses where no one
was hurt it'll be a Milla it'll tell a
story God's name won't appear he didn't
come gather us around the mountain and
talk to us directly he didn't reveal
himself with a revelation that was
unprecedented so there home
we'll talk about beepers ballistic
missiles and buses The Three B's it'll
be a whole Milla the BBB Milla beepers
buses ballistic missiles God's name will
be absent but if we're living now we
look and we see we read between the
lines and we see how we see Hashem is
everywhere he's everywhere Hashem is
pulling the strings everywhere
everywhere and that's the holiday of P's
name doesn't appear in the Milla but he
appears everywhere in the Milla
I love to quote this not when we enter
the calendar day of
Adar when Adar enters
us just spoke about if you
live when a Jew feels nothing's random
nothing's chance nothing's by accident
but embrace your place you are exactly
where you are meant to be when you go
through life of that confidence and that
Clarity and that calmness and that
physical spiritual mental health that
provide then I'm not worried are you
keeping me waiting the doctor canceled
the appointment I've been waiting for
how come I'm not bent out of shape
because I'm where I'm meant to be this
is the way it's meant to go this is
what's supposed to happen nothing
frazzles me or Razzles me because I'm
just where I meant to be it's all from
so
the when enters
us when we live with am and we therefore
don't get frustrated or angry or
resentful we don't get envious or
arrogant or anxious then we're it's the
natural consequence it's the result it's
the skiing your step you see somebody
who gets back a positive I mean a
positive a good lab report somebody who
just turns in the winning lottery ticket
somebody's child calls him to say I have
amazing news for you I'm expecting I'm
getting engaged that person is they
don't have to be told it says here I'm
supposed to be happy
now says here somebody once met with me
me and said I don't feel the emotions
other people seem to feel I don't feel
emotion at all and what do I do and
that's a condition that it's a form of
being psych it's it's a challenge it's
it's an illness a person feels emotion
natural emotions so if you hear good
news fantastic news you don't have to
say oh I read in a book that I'm
supposed to be happy when that happens
you're happy so when a person
is when you give
you give him a dwelling place here on
Earth when you let him enter
us you can't help but feel enormous Joy
that's the whole story of P what's the
what's it called the Milla we're gonna
hear tomorrow night and Friday
morning it's not a trick question people
what's it called millas Esther The
Scroll of Esther not a trick question
the word Milla the word Milla means a
scroll but the word Milla to be migala
is gilo is to reveal Esther comes from
the language of Hester The Hidden
we read the Milla to reveal what's
hidden we don't hear we know the story
why do I have to hear the story for the
billionth time we know the story we had
the whole story I got the story we're
hungry can't we eat wh what why we know
the story we're not listening to review
a story that we already know we're doing
it as an exercise it's an exercise
here's the challenge there should be a
clap on the beima we're about to hear
the Milla reveal the hidden find
hashem's name between the lines read the
story of the beepers buses missiles that
hashem's name is not mentioned and find
Hashem in the story that's Miller should
be easier for us than ever to experience
purum because the last year and a half
though there's been tragedy and
Challenge and loss and it's hard to see
Hashem in so many of those places but
there's also been Miracles Miracles
where we can read hashem's name between
the lines so back to the question why is
that if you go to Israel for PES but you
live in Bon you have to keep two days
but if you live in and you go to Rana
You observe R why is that it's not the
normal rule says
the the answer is that teaches us in
hashem's Providence part of this amuna
is the awareness you ready that wherever
a person is located at any given time it
was bash that he be there so his status
on purum is based on where he is on
purum when it comes to PES your status
is where you're from but puram the whole
holiday is hashem's Providence puram the
whole Essence and theme is I am where
I'm meant to be be so if I'm in Nat
forget that I get my mail in this is
where I meant to be Pur I meant to
observe the whole holiday of puram is if
you have to summarize what's purum
embrace your place you are where you're
meant to be that's the holid
of reveal what is
hidden let enter you
and you know how you'll go through life
if you know yeah we'll see how it turns
out it's an adventure I don't know what
will be I'm not envious whatever people
have because I have what I am meant to
have and I'm not worried about a future
because Hashem is in charge he's in
control the future will bring whatever
the future is supposed to bring I take
my initiative I make my effort I do
whatever is under my power and my
control and then I let go and I let God
and I'm filled with Sim with joy with
Serenity and Tranquility with peace of
mind with Clarity with confidence with
calmness
because when I let AEM in so we made the
decal for the car we made the sticker we
got the luggage tag we got it all we'll
figure out how to get it out and last
week on Z Adar every Z Adar I meet
members of our kadisha in one of the
cemeteries where we do the taharas of
the people who are buried there so I
made up as always to meet a group there
and the person leading the
group person leading the group who was
in a car we had made up a certain time
to meet and she sent me a text what's
your ETA I said I'm here we're running
late and then I didn't answer even
though I was sitting there a little bit
frustrated not at her but at the
circumstance that I got down there she
was late she sends me a text of the
picture of the decal on our
windshield sorry we're a few minutes
late embrace your place so this whole
thing is coming back to haunt me in a
big way my daughter with the car your
car is where it's meant to be me with my
daughter your bagel is where it's meant
to be and now the head of our kadisha
telling the rabbi just relax Rabbi we're
running late but embrace your place
here's a picture of your decal you are
where you are meant to be okay we're
already deep into the shear so I'll just
read one or two more emails before we
get back into our text but I love this
one because it's from a young girl dear
Rabbi Goldberg and all the living with
amuna listeners this is the first email
I have that was addressed to you our
listeners thank you so much for the
living witha sh they really Inspire and
strengthen me I wrote this letter
because I want to share with you and
with the living with amuna listeners
what I learned from listening to this
podcast also I want to share something
that happened to me today I've been ding
for it to happen and to go successfully
I live in
I'm very thankful I'm 12 and a half in
seventh grade today I went to my first
interview for high school the school
sounds like a good fit for me and very
high level learning which I want my
family and I have been ding that I will
get an interview that it will go well
that I'll get accepted during the
interview The principal asked me what is
the Big Value you have I answered her
inem even if something doesn't go the
way I want it to go it's from Hashem for
example for example it's a nce that I
was invited for this interview this
12-year-old tells the
interviewer the same way as everything
else is Ace although I don't know for
sure if I'll be accepted and the bad is
all from God the bad is also for our
good even if we don't know what is good
about I can imagine this interviewer is
interviewing this 12 and a half year old
who gives her an amuna about it's a
miracle that I'm here and however it
will go it's from Hashem and amuna is my
value I do hope the interview went well
I'll get accepted to the high school I
think it went pretty well I hope to
write again soon with the good news I
got accepted and the school will be the
right for for me thank you so much again
and under the email is a little PS from
the mother I want you to know that right
after the interview she said I have
something to do I have to write to Rabbi
Goldberg she wrote this letter the same
day and I told her I would send it to
you I'm embarrassed it took me this long
though obviously today's exactly the
right day to file and take care of it
and get the letter to whom it was
addressed thank you for the continuous
inspiration blah blah blah warmly so on
and so forth I didn't get the postcript
yet but she already knows because she
already said whichever way it goes is
the right thing for her you how many
people did not get in where they wanted
to go a door closed and where they were
redirected was the right place for them
was the right place for
them sometimes closes doors he opens
others but he brings us where we're
meant to be where we're wanted where
we're needed where we're where we find
out who we're supposed to be and what
life is supposed to be what life is
supposed to be
about okay one more quick one de by
Gober listening to the m in six months
it's really made me reframe reframe my
viewpoint and see hasem in my daily life
I want to share an experience that
happened to my family several years ago
my relative who I was close with died
suddenly in a fire I received an
inheritance it had always been a dream
of mine to build a beautiful Suka that
would be easy for my husband to put up
we used a significant part of the money
to build a new deck with a Perle that
attracts to easily install walls suus is
my favorite H and this family member
always enjoyed spending the holidays
with us so it seemed fitting two weeks
ago on Mo shabas I was standing in the
kitchen when a huge tree fell down in
our yard the tree landed on the perola
which slowed it although it hit the
house above the kitchen the pergola took
the brunt of the damage the house
received minor damage but the roof did
not cave in no one inside was hurt I
can't describe the fear at seeing the
tree fall how thankful I was that no one
was hurt and there were no live wires or
a myriad of other things that could have
happened although I'm sad looking at the
broken perg I realized the huge hug that
came from Hashem and from this relative
I do not know why that tree had to fall
but clearly Hashem was looking out for
us I'm not sure that prior to listening
the she I would have connected all the
dots I probably would have just been
upset about the situation I see the plan
of hm that he was looking out for us one
of my friends even pointed out it is P
that is coming and will God willing have
our Suka fixed and Beautiful by then
thank you for the inspiration so some
emails there are a lot more I thank
everyone who sent back to our text we're
learning we are on page
L we
said we last left off and we're talking
about also again you want to
talk I didn't tell tell of sh that we've
been talking
about thank you but he sat down and what
did he start talking about I said could
you give 10 minutes of amuna for the
amuna but of course he picked up where
we left off because Hashem is in charge
so I didn't have to tell him what we
were talking about Hashem controls and
orchestrates and curates everything
mindboggling it's extraordinary it's
amazing how did everyone do with their
homework doing well with the homework
please God than thank God God willing
God
help we take those baby steps by talking
about Hashem at first you'll feel weird
what am I some kind of uh Evangelical
pring you know who am I I'm preaching
now and the answer is yeah be a preacher
in your home to your friends not
indoctrinating them but simply Nuance
subtly talking about it don't
indoctrinate don't hit him over the head
with a hammer just
several have spoken to
me men about their wives women about
their husbands we're not necessarily on
the same page I can't get them to listen
to the Yun here I can't get them into
what I'm into we're not living the same
plane we're not doing the same thing we
spoke about this last week too the
answer is don't hit him over the head
don't indoctrinate Don't Preach Don't
Force just be you and when they see how
healthy how happy you are who wouldn't
want that too when there's a situation
they panic but you're calm they're angry
and you're patient they're frustrated
and you're good to go and they
understand where's that coming from
amuna because I've been living with
amuna and look how it's changed my life
our relationship my parenting my
professional life who wouldn't want that
too so don't indoctrinate and Don't
Preach just be and
live other people will believe because
you speak subtly that was
Ys always talked about by the time he's
done with par Pagan idolator all of a
sudden is talking about God Yosef didn't
say can we go over the Bible codes Yosef
didn't say come to the Discovery seminar
ysep didn't say sheit how do you not
believe ysph simply didn't stop talking
about God and the result and consequence
were par himself starts talking about
God you'll find the people around you
will talk about God when you talk about
God we have to speak about hem so it
wash it was the hand of hm that sure
picked up where we left off everything
is Hashem I wrote an AR this week I'll
post it in the group and the opening of
it was my friend Kim I called him on the
campaign finished I want to thank all
those who contributed and gave it means
the world to me from the bottom of my
heart I'm only bringing up the campaign
again not to ask for more though we're
not done yet we're not done unlike the
mishan we're not done we'll never be
done we need more but the campaign was a
success a smashing success because so
many of you gave or made Pages or teams
and helped us collect and it meant the
absolute world to me to us thank you for
building and inspiring T it's incredible
so I called and I said you're going to
get to sh after 120 and Hashem is gonna
say to you good job you gave almost $7
million to batone synagogue Community to
grow Torah and he's gonna say excuse me
what where I made what commitment
quickly you're gonna run to the
charity.com BRS page to check did it
list you for $7 million and it doesn't
but how does it mean we had hit a wall
and we were frustrated we weren't sure
how to proceed and where to go and how
to get this done and what would be and
frankly I was a little bit I'm
embarrassed to tell you the mag of the
Amun here I was a little down in the
dumps and Kim came from New York to meet
with me about something totally
different and when we sat down before we
started he said what's the deal with
this campus thing I see there's dirt
outside but there's no energy unlike
everything BRS does there's no energy
there's no excitement I don't see
anything about it what's going on we hit
this wall I don't know what's going to
be I don't know how to go I don't know
how to proceed we have some challenges
he said you've got to do a matching
campaign and in 60 seconds he told me
why and how and I'm telling you to work
and you got to do it and I spent 60
seconds telling him why he's wrong and
that won't work with us and our people
don't do that and it'll never happen but
the rest of the day I couldn't stop
thinking about it couldn't stop thinking
about it and the rest is history because
literally on a crazy short timeline a
few weeks later we put together and we
executed a campaign that bar is closing
in on $7
million so I said the hash that he was
visiting from New York that day the that
he brought up the topic the that he gave
an example he had just done the all was
nothing is coincidence he gave s
million because had he not done that I'd
still be sitting here with my hands on
the air not knowing what to do hasm is
orchestrating so just pick up the signal
and look for it thank him so much each
time he does it's all coming from him
it's all coming from
him it's all coming from him that was
the letter hey the letter he was added
to A's name because the letter hey you
spell hey he or he or he Al and we know
it
spells that's how began to live and
that's what inst instilled in
US 33 that the advice and the path the
formula to a life
of is a life of submit surrender to God
let go and let God see his guiding hand
understand he's in charge he's in
control destroy the amalik that's also
Pur amalik is not just Hamas hasb the
houis people like Colombia the me Jewish
members of Congress who are more
concerned with installing reinstating
the Visa of terrorists who want to kill
Jews that's not the only amalik amalik
is the voice inside our head of Doubt of
uncertainty that's amalik
amalik is suff amalik is gatria suff
what's suff oh sure would be proud
what's
suff doubt amalik is the same numerical
value as the word suff doubt why because
you know what amalik likes to do instill
a little doubt you have all this
confidence it's from hasem there's a
reason there's a purpose this is my
meaning this is what I meant to do this
is where I meant to be and then that
little voice that Creeps in and says are
you sure are you
positive ah he may not even exist who
knows if he's even here and who knows if
he's even in charge and who knows if he
even cares about what's going on in your
life are you sure are you sure you're
ready to let go and let God that little
voice of doubt that's a mik that's a mik
what a foer calls a Malik is what AER
calls a vacuum a hole an emptiness aik
pushes God out there's no God here
there's just a big vacuum just random en
chance and happen stance and coincidence
that's the voice of amalik amalik is the
voice of e nothing impresses me
nothing's awesome the word awesome that
we've diluted and destroyed that word
awesome but it really means something
it's an awesome word awesome it means
worthy of awe that's awesome worthy of
awe we should be in awe but we live in a
time there's no awe nothing impresses us
instead of a we live in the generation
of e a is wow did you see that that
building that painting that sculpture
the literary work did you see that giant
you were just in the presence I'm in awe
I'm in awe
of we once were people that felt awe now
we're so looking at our
phone we see something H I saw something
more impressive on the in someone sent
me a video something even better H Food
H how was the concert uh how was the the
the
rabbi everything's that's a
is is the
of and what's a a Jew is
the is
everything's H is
everything's wow that's awesome that's
awesome I were at a concert Sunday the
great hatah concert was beautiful we
were walking out and she stopped She
said look at that Sunset that's awesome
I don't know how many people saw it
happened to be everybody was facing the
stage and the sunset was behind them not
blaming them but they were looking at
the concert which was amazing and behind
them Hashem was putting on his own show
there was an amazing show on stage and
behind everyone Hashem was putting on
his own show which he does every day
which is called the sunset and the sky
was every kind of red and orange and the
used it was amazing it was beautiful and
amalik would say keep walking eh nothing
to see here what's the big deal it's a
sunset it rises every day it sets every
day keep walking nothing to see here but
the of is not to listen to It's
theill is to stop and pause and say wow
that's awesome did you hear that new
song it's awesome not like a 60s hippie
awesome dude but it's awesome like it's
awesome it's worthy of awe it's worthy
of a did you see that Sunset it's
awesome it's awesome that recipe is
awesome that person's awesome that idea
that story
that impact that visit they're awesome
that's how we destroy amalik we got to
get rid of the amalik amalik the
physical Amal threaten us with their
violence with Annihilation with
elimination that's amalik and we got to
get rid of them and our brave Soldiers
our heroic soldiers we ding for they're
getting rid of the amalik but there's an
amalik in our hearts and in our heads
there's the amalik the voice of doubt
the voice of uncertainty the voice of e
of being unimpressed with anything and
it has to be replaced with the voice of
a the voice of seeing Hashem everywhere
the voice of hashem's in charge hashem's
in control I have no doubt I have no
uncertainty I have Comm and I have
confidence last year when R was here he
suffers you should have challenges in
his spine you see it's hard for him to
walk sleep move and I asked him one
morning staying at our house how is the
r feeling and he paused and he looked at
me he said exactly how Hashem wants me
to feel what I loved about that answer
is he didn't didn't give some
sh you know I'm not knocking the sh but
he didn't give
some I'm in pain like Hashem wants me I
feel great he didn't give some fake
answer he's in pain but that's how
Hashem wants me to feel so I feel the
way Hashem wants me to feel I don't know
anyone else would answer that that
Hashem wasn't part of that question how
do you feel I had a good night I had a
bad night it hurts I'm feeling better
where does Hashem fit into that question
or that answer but for of sure he's part
of every question he's the answer to
every question how do I feel the way
hasem wants me to feel I'm working to
feel better I hope to feel better I'm
not denying that I'm in pain because
that's foolish Hashem doesn't want that
from us if we're in pain if we're
grieving if we've suffered loss if we're
sad he doesn't want us to deny real
feelings just to understand and embrace
and accept that that too is all part of
coming from Hashem that's all part of
our story it's where we're meant to be
in this moment even if we're trying to
break out of it it's
all says rautner
not is the letter he and for all of
us our life will
change when we don't just enter the
month of but when enters us the when we
give Hashem a dwelling in our life by we
talk about him always then we'll see
well be this is what's meant to be this
is how it's meant to happen this decal I
can tell you several times has had an
impact on me I'm frustrated I'm angry
I'm resentful who's keeping me waiting
in the car who's still stuck at this red
light why is this traffic happening
making me late and you just Embrace that
moment you realize no no no it's wasted
energy I who has time you have enough
energy to waste some I don't you have
enough emotional bandwidth to waste some
I don't so preserve it save it direct it
where it's meant to be and don't waste
it on things we can't control and the
way to be able to do that is embrace
your place to recognize where are we're
meant to be to let go and let God to
live with amuna to live with Hashem to
take those baby steps on that ramp and
to realize it won't change anything it
won't make it go faster it won't
necessarily resolve that problem that's
out of my control and out of my hands
what do I need to do and how do I live
with
everywhere and that
hey everything needs good Divine
Providence everything needs hashem's
help will the kalas will they be killer
kalas or will they flop will the H come
out or they explode and the jelly will
go everywhere and they won't be the neat
Corners I like it when they don't go
right because when I sneak in the
kitchen and try to take some I won't say
who but I'm told no no take the ones
that don't look
right I'm not saying who I have a I say
these H they're awesome it's the nicest
H I ever saw and the person who made
those H happens to be celebrating a
birthday today I don't want to say who
they are and embarrass
them I'm not saying who but I won't be
where I am and I said as I said to them
this morning privately but I'll say
publicly because I was born before they
were the the day they were born was the
best thing that ever happened in my life
because even though I wouldn't find that
other half to be whole for several years
but Hashem declared already in heaven
that our halves were meant to be a whole
so bar it's my birthday too you should
give me a present I'm just joking but a
very happy birthday in good health and
for many years to come and continue to
bake killer Hamin with just a few not
turning out exactly right so I can sneak
them in the in the kitchen they're
they're awesome they and you are awesome
so but to live with an A the letter hey
is
how do I get on that because the the and
the CLE the carpool the meeting at work
the client the customer the campaign
that you're running the druss you have
to give everything
needs will the technology work to stream
of shore will it work for of shore can
you sit will the camera pick up will he
be hurt everything needs everything
needs it we spoke last week you start
your day what's on to today look in your
schedule Hashem and for this this the
other thing oh don't forget that and
also this other thing at the end of the
day Hashem thank you foray for this that
the other thing and everything went
right it went wrong I got in I was
rejected it's all meant to be it's all
coming from
Hashem and to get to this aam how did
aam become the father of all Nations the
father of monotheism ethical monotheism
preaching and teaching and changing and
transforming the world because he saw
and he taught Hashem everywhere every
where this has been my calling for the
last several years I grew up in a world
and in a system which I learned and
gained and made me who I am but largely
was absent this with no criticism of
those who came before maybe it was a
different generation they didn't need it
but my education did not talk about
Hashem we memorized L and we memorized
and we gained skills in vocabulary in
gamarra and we memorized and we learned
what the holidays were about or the how
to observe them and we learned beautiful
div Torah on the para but a constant
conversation awareness
Consciousness invoking hashem's name it
wasn't there and we need it now more
than ever and the Educators which all
parents and grandparents are are the
principal Educators we need it we
desperately need it we need it for
ourselves we can't talk it we can't
speak it with any Authority or any
authenticity if we don't live it
children can see right through they know
who's fake they know who's faking it
so it has to be authentic and we have to
grow and learn it and this is my calling
I feel like the last few years and I'll
say that of all the sh I give of all the
sh I give I would say the living with
amuna I won't tell you the numbers that
apparently and the many the community of
living with amuna that we are around the
world that I'm so grateful Beyond
grateful and humbled and proud but the
numbers tell me that this is what's
needed and the most implemented as well
more so we need this the world needs
this we desperately need this and we
used to not have it because I think we
thought you know that's for simple
people they they talk about Hashem as
there Hashem is everywhere that's that's
the simple people mute AEM Hashem up the
parking lot get us this parking spot
thank Hashem for the Hashem you know but
if you're sophisticated and high futin
and you have a fancy vocabulary and you
know big terms then you know you don't
that's not what you talk about but it's
wrong it's wrong the smarter the fancier
you are the more sophisticated you are
the the more we should be talking about
hem the more we need to talk about hem
the more the more the more so I want to
wish everyone a first of all thank you
again for the help with the campaign and
thank you AEM for the of thank you AEM
for sending to give the idea of the
campaign thank you Hashem for forming
this community want to wish everyone
a you know Pam the miracle of P happened
