Rabbi Lazer Brody - Emunah under Fire: Facing Life's Challenges with Success

it is super special tomorrow night is a very momentous holiday a big celebration it's called lagrange one of the probably least known holidays in the jewish calendar and what are we celebrating the great sage the great scholar rabbi akiva had 24 000 students who tragically perished in a plague in a terrible malady and illness and they were gone decimated so they stopped dying on this day and that's why there's a holiday and the question begs is that a reason to celebrate we should mourn there's no one left why are we happy why are we festive it's depressing it's sad we should be grieving and mourning so there's a few answers the romani pano says that ravikiv himself was supposed to die and he was speared and that's why we celebrate rabbi khan kanyevsky says that there were additional students that were unaccounted for and they didn't die and that's why we celebrate but this is an answer from the pre-kadush which is so empowering and so inspiring he says that the reason why we're celebrating he disagrees with the aforementioned answers rabbi kim was not supposed to die there were no students left so are we celebrating because rebecca could have been immobilized he could have been paralyzed he could have been debilitated he could have been totally totally devastated and crippled but instead on this day like bowmer he decided to rebuild he decided to persevere and he found five new students and from that he was able to construct an entire universe and therefore this holiday is a holiday of renewal of rebuilding of persevering and all you sure said so eloquently and so beautifully that the power exists even today thousands of years later in the day that no matter what happened in your life no matter what tragedy god forbid you suffered no matter what struggle or challenge or vicissitude or tribulation you find yourself in tomorrow night and thursday is the time to tap into that ability to create yourself anew to rebuild to persevere and to have new faith and hope so we have tonight with us an amazing bastion a repository of fountain of faith i'm going to leave it to our next speaker to introduce our great rabbi and speaker that came without further ado it's my pleasure and honor to introduce you just for a few words to robbie who's our partner from kazakh who's going to share a few words thank you all thank you thank you thank you and don't forget tomorrow night and thursday is your opportunity to renew ingrained pause drop my finger i'm emotionally all the partnering organizations kazakh bjx of course david batturo from torah life and um and emunah beams the the revs organization um this this uh this series of of the rubber by brodie's going around is is her nishmas rabbi zakariwar seems like herself with raqqa i think it's uh not only this it's so special that the entire series is is in memory of wallace but also right here in flatbush where where we built or now and so many tremendous institutions i think it's a tremendous disgust for uh for the for the shama and um we have um um wherever brody just came with a new book it's called divine direction it's going to be available for purchase after the after the sheer in the back and um all this farm the all the books that are purchased tonight rob will gladly um we'll subscribe we'll give you a personal uh letter and they'll sign it it'll be a tremendous honor all the small books are uh 12 each 2 for 20. all the larger books are um 22 or 2 for 40. uh obviously purchase for yourself and for your friends and family and it'll be a tremendous um uplifting especially during sphere and schroeder's and um and obviously we know the tremendous work of bjx college outreach community outreach in brooklyn and far and beyond and as you know the kazakh organization organizes events like tonight in different communities and inspires so many people in the last five years helped over 1 200 children transfer public school yeshiva and this tremendous honor to work all these organizations working under one umbrella under one roof to spread torah and do amazing things it's a great great squish to call upon our laser body sleep whenever i get hooked up with the wires i feel like a suicide bomber but it's not solemn but we do suicide is whatever i speak the eight sahara wants to commit suicide because this evil inclination he's willing to do everything i could talk and talk torah and talk abort but don't talk a muna don't talk a muna because takamuna teach people about hashem if they get ghosts hashem what is a muna people say faith belief no neither and muna is your own personal connection with hashem no matter who you are your father doesn't have to be a roshi shiva and your father doesn't have to be a rabbit your father could be a coal miner in west virginia or a corn farmer in south dakota and your father doesn't have to be jewish they have two we have people i go around the world and at least 35 of my audiences around the world are not jewish at all but they found out guess what there's a almighty in heaven that anybody could talk to him 24 7 whatever you want and wait a second this is uh something this is really rabbi laser brodie writes about in his books that's not what their minister told them the minister says that you got to go like a monopoly don't pass go don't collect 200 you got to go through them oh you have to go through them you go straight to the man and that's what i'm talking about tonight and that's under fire and there's no such thing like i tell you a little bit about after 29 years and three months and 12 days and three hours in the idf to tell you a little bit about combat and a little bit about wars but there's no such thing every single man in flatbush and every single woman flatbush brooklyn united states the combat soldiers why because life is hand to hand combat with evil inclination that wants to keep you away from hashem an evil enclosure wants to keep you depressed and what's impressed if i ask you what your worst inclination is ask the guys and uh they'd answer they'd say no we can't answer it in a mixed crowd because it's x-rated and if you ask a woman what's your worst inclination they would say maybe not like the guys but similar no you don't know yourself i'll tell you what your worst evil inclination is your worst evil inclination is when you look in the mirror and you say i'm not good enough the guys look in the mirror and says oh my buddy made a startup company and made millions of dollars and i'm a regular they sell insurance i work at a shoe store i do this do that and the women looking to say oh my my my girlfriend she was she's miss jewish america of the year and uh she has eight kids and she's principal bass yakov and who am i i could barely make a cartoful kegel without burning is this you no do you know what it means and if you had your own relationship with hashem not from i hate the word from from yiddish means religious observant okay let's try something i want you to say the word from and smile you know go ahead you can't do it and you smile you can't save from if you say from you can't smile because that is not what yiddish kite is about judaism says what we have the terrible terrible 98 98 curses in the torah and it's twice in the torah in parashat and parashat kitavo and other 98 curses and the torah says why all these curses what do we do wrong heaven forbid it's a golden calf no not called the golden calf says spies not considered spies uh jews did some the torah gives the answer why a jew has problem because he didn't serve his child with joy let me figure walk down the street in flatbush said so many jews i keep on this head guy with sensors you keep on your head you got scissors you put on filler this morning that filling you're not happy you're about to told you let's share champions chavez candles are you not happy what would you do if you're a prisoner of war a ukrainian soldier got captured by the russians you're creating a jewish soldier and now they take you to illinois you can't put up filling how'd you feel can't believe it how'd you feel or if somebody threw you in jail and you couldn't go to minion this morning how would you feel if shabbos came in you couldn't lock shots candles so now that you did put on phil and you did like shabbos candles how come you're not smiling how can i happy that is what the torah says but hashem gives us a wonderful misfits let me tell you something about what it means to be happy when it means to appreciate yourself not just that the word of munna what a moon you don't hate the word of muna and just no don't forget the definition it's your own personal relationship with hashem our lesson tonight and my whole tour this time around that goes from new york and then it goes to lakewood in baltimore and miami and houston and mexico city and la it's all it's called going higher to work because of course you connect to shem you go higher and it's all in blessed memory of rabbi zechariah wallerstein well we're here our hosts our keyword giants rib moshe and bjx and other he says the big man on the campus when it comes to jewish outreach and torah any time and if we add to that rabbi sahaja wallerstein who was a one-man revolution and jews would they we were best friends and heard all of a sudden that age 64 rabbi zakaria left the world devastated brought him out territory's role and i had the privilege of eulogizing him we were very close i don't even go when i get too emotional but i want to tell you a story it's a laser story that rubbed by zacchaeus who used to change stories he would tell my stories better than i would tell him this is one story and you can see that emunah is eye level for every human being and as soon as we have a moon we're happy and as soon as we're happy we get close to hashem and as soon as we get close to hashem you know hashem does hashem lets us fulfill our potential to the hilt because hashem put if you think you're not good enough right you think you're not good enough you're looking at me you're not good enough people are always down on themselves that's why there's so much clinical depression united states you're not good enough because you're not connected hashem you know what it means when you think you're not good enough you're saying that the crater is imperfect now if i would ask someone come in i may be one of the few rabbis in the world that's uh ex combat i'm also a certified physical trainer fitness trainer and nutritionist so let's say i would take off my jacket we're going to talk fitness and i need a volunteer come up and do simon says could do calisthenics and say wouldn't be embarrassed get up in front of all your wonderful people and do something i said what about if i slip you two one down to 100 notes to come and exhib oh that's already something okay that's already worth it that's food for shabbos you know you wouldn't want to do something without a reason if you don't do something without a reason why do you think that the almighty what do you think hashem does things with that reason if you think you're not good enough you're saying that i'm i'm superfluous i'm a needless creation in the world i can't be you know what it means that you're alive stop to think that's something you never thought about yourself i promise you hashem does not do anything without a purpose nothing there's so much more to share with you just to catch up on a couple stories i promise to tell you king david did not know king david wrote parrot shira king david knew all the secrets of creation king david knew the language of a tree the language of a bird the lounge of animals king david did not understand why hashem created black widow spiders hashem what do you need pointed spiders for for what for what uh-huh okay so a little voice in avid came uh david wait and see david my son wait and see king david's father-in-law king saul was very jealous of him and he chased it back and forth around the judean desert with his lieutenants trying to kill king david want to kill his son-in-law one day king sight king saul soldiers were in hot pursuit of david and david was running away on foot in the judean desert and he came into a cul-de-sac a cul-de-sac is a cavern a dead end in the desert nowhere to go and the horse is coming in there's one way in and no way out and he looked if you had a watch on a psycho stopwatch you'd say 90 seconds life expectancy that's all he's not going to more than that they're going to catch him and it's going to be bye bye david what does shem do shep gave him the mouth of a cave and he had no to know took a chance he went inside the cave what did hashem do hashem set a black widow spider and in 30 seconds that black widow spider miraculously wove a web that would have taken a spider six months to do so king saw soldiers that came in all of a sudden there's no david where'd he go it's a sheer wall with cul-de-sac with a cliff and a wall you can't climb this sheer rock wall and there's a cave oh it's got to be in the cave so in the cave they came back there's a great big black widow spider with this white dot it's known as really black widows they're very poisonous and they saw they pay back it can't be in there because completely covered with a spider net and the black widow spider right in the middle of her net so they went oh they didn't know what happened he disappeared thin air they didn't know they left when the spider heard the horse hoofs in the distance going away the spider like packing up her suitcase she packed up the web and and crawled away king david came out of the cave and he heard a voice from shemin i heard a voice from heaven any more questions my son any more questions hashem showed king david that the most illogical inexplicable dangerous poisonous creature on earth had a reason it saved his life you think that no one said okay it's a nice story this and that oh lazy you think it's a nice story people are angry at mosquitos do you like when a mosquito bites you don't like when a mosquito bites me but i'm happy about it i don't like it but i'm happy about it you know mosquitoes saved my life wasn't one mosquito it was about a thousand mosquitoes and the first lebanon war this right before i made truva and this is something worse happened to me afterward but we were on the way to beirut and there was six days of fighting and we fought for six days with no rest see how you feel with one night with no rest but on your feet six days in combat with no rest that's it there was a cease-fire on friday morning and we plots well as a platoon sergeant four soldiers and each one of us were to take turns guarding to 12 guys okay there's going to be three groups of three guys and they're going to sleep and they're going to sleep they're going to sleep all the time one group is going to guard well nobody could stay up our heads just hit the ground was on my watch as the duty sergeant's platoon platoon sergeant and like my eyes felt like lead i could not keep my eyes open now it's a ceasefire one of the shortest things on earth is a ceasefire with the arabs [Music] okay and it's it's easy for them to cease fires because they make cease fires one after the other this was in a lebanese town called job germain the great sultan yalkov right where lebanon israel and syria come together very very very dangerous in the old seventies it's called the fatah land that's a very very dangerous area and my head just hit the i was out like a light i would sleep in one watch i just couldn't physically could not stay up tried my best what hashem do hashem didn't say one mosquitoes the sham scent swarms and mosquitoes i get bitten in the eyes bitten in the ears bitten in the mouth bitten the nose i went that all over and i slapped and slapped myself until i woke up and i woke up and it was a rustling in the bushes and instinctively it was a browning 03 machine gun they had there boom just sat on the trigger and it let go about 300 rounds right there well the gunfire and my buddies they woke up and everybody woke up right away your gun fights instinctively in our unit gunfire didn't sit go in the bushes and there's three dead syrian soldiers with rpgs in another five seconds they would put a russian shoulder missile right in our placement and it would be nothing of the 12 of us left hashem said mosquitoes all the time when i get bit by iskido i say thank you hashem remind hashem thank you hashem thank you hashem thank you hashem the gomorrah says that every creation on earth is a messenger of hashem that's we have to love all of creation and king david knew the secrets of all of creation i love every creation and love everyone in it anything that happens to us is a message from sham from muna how can i tell you about three jewish boys that go drink beer in a bar in alabama on the way to mardi gras there's nothing to do with yeshikai nothing to do with judaism nothing to do with anything the opposite of holiness and they learn a muna i have a friend who is the head of aisha torah in cleveland rabbi khaimfeld rabbi heimfeld teaches a course judaism 101 in case reserve university they went in and first day case reserve it's in cleveland and quite a few quite a few jewish kids and not many non-jewish people sign up for judaism so he asked them on the very first day who knows what the word of munna means one guy puts up his head says i do he says what's a moon i mean he says that's the full and complete faith in god huh robin felt says that's the exact definition in gardna muna where'd you learn that he says i never read the garner muna he said where'd you learn the definition he says rabbi you're not going to believe me okay this is a laser story because the waitress you're about to hear about she was in contact with me non-jewish waitress and this is a story that rabbi zakarya wallistein would love to tell okay so i'm gonna tell it that i wish i could did rabbi wallerstein's brooklynese accent i loved it okay he told the story he told the story to his girls at uh or nava i said so the guys they're these three cleveland university guys case reserve and they decided semester break winter break they won't have a good time somebody had a good time they're gonna take the car and they drive down to new orleans in a mardi gras and they'll party and drink beer and they have these hurricanes and everything wild walks in the street and these big cocktails are called hurricanes and tremendous because your car feels like a hurricane afterwards you know you guys got a storm in his head so they're going away down so they're driving through to get from cleveland to new orleans you have to drive through alabama then mississippi then you get to louisiana new orleans to drive through alabama under thirsty and eight pull up at a bar have a beer okay so they come to this bar and they sit down at a table and the waitress comes up to them and wishes yeah what do you boys haven't said so we have three beers give her the three schooners okay so she brings the beer and she puts out she's got this short sleeve blouse on and she serves in the beer and they see this tattoo on her forearm e-m-u-n-a it's red white and blue letters e-m-u-n-a and one of the guys says say what's he that's anita what's that the tattoo you got and she looks at him and he was wearing a jewish star okay he's got he knows he's jewish and he likes the state of israel and he wears a jewish star it's a statement for him so he says are you jewish waitress says to him says yeah and you don't know what a mona means he said no and she tells him it is the full and simple belief in the creator he said well where do you know that where do they talk about that in alabama she says well you're not going to believe my story okay this is story replimen felt he didn't know he knew this boys learned a munifi in a bar in alabama but this is a story i heard from the waitress look at these things in unbelievable divine direction divine direction hashem directs the world just in that people think that hashem created the world that went on retirement hashem is not playing golf in las vegas or in palm springs hashem is not retired hashem is right away deciding what our diastolic and systolic blood pressure is hashem's deciding what cell the weight and dinners become protein cell and what cell we're going to say a blessing yatsuran hashem is deciding every little decision going on every little thing from the every level of creation from the mineral the plant the animal and man so she tells them the story and this rabbit sky is continuing she says you know i had this boyfriend and his boyfriend was full of money and that his big old oldsmobile and he was gonna build me a mansion up on a hill and i wasn't going to have to serve beers anymore in a bar and people do all kinds of stuff with me and they pinched me and they they were making snad comments and i was going to be a lady and my boyfriend was a lawyer big lawyer in birmingham and he was going to marry me and build me a house and buy me a fancy car and in one day with nothing my boyfriend up and lift me there's a rub zakaria telling the story my boyfriend up and left me and i was devastated so she comes to work and the owner of this bar a jewish guy and the others by the jewish guy he happened to have a copy of the guard of amuna okay so he read the garden of the moon medicare and he sees this waitress she comes in and she's heartbroken she says mary lou what's the matter with you and she says the jonathan that's naming the boss see the londoner bar jonathan my boyfriend left me he cried and he promised to marry me and he made this promise and that promise he said mary lou take this book home i'm gonna lend you my book i want you to read it okay so she read book she read the garden of window like her

be this what's the best i i my boyfriend left me and broke my heart and what's good about that she couldn't accept it that evening she went home from work and her girlfriend sue ellen called her says mary lou did you see the gazette except that's a birmingham cassette your boyfriend's on the front page you can see my boyfriend yeah he's no lawyer he's a pusher he got busted with 10 kilos of cocaine in his trunk he's going to go he's going to sit for a long time in the slammer said what show me that paper she came right now showed a paper yeah that's her boyfriend he was no lawyer he's a drug pusher drug pusher and the cops got up with him and he busted and she stopped thinking wow if that would have happened a couple of weeks later and i'd have married this guy i'd have been then married to a convict and nothing and then she would bet and she went to jonathan give me that book again she read the book again and she says it's the gospel truth it's it so what she did yes the almighty everything it does is good yes that is the real deal so she went to the tattoo guy in a town and selling alabama and she says give me a tattoo what tattoo would you like young lady a-m-u-n-a look what hashem does so that three guys that never knew anything they don't know the difference between shabbat and a bagel in cleveland they know they're jewish their mother father jewish hashem takes them down on a mardi gras trip through alabama to meet a non-jewish waitress to teach them what the word of mona means the shepherd saves a mosquito or a black wooden spider to save life and wait that's not it we talk about rep zachary and i used to change and muna stories uh the tattoo stories he had more tattoo stories we've got other tattoo stories i'll tell you another tattoo story this is a really bittersweet tattoo story one year when i was in uman for rosh hashanah this talk a long time ago before someone had thousands of people there when i had hundreds of people there it was an oman for rosh hashanah and it was two days before rosh hashanah and the mikvah was brand new there it was about 2 30 in the morning and i thought it was a low one but that or something else there was another guy uh new balchuva didn't know about chuvas about truva is a newly observant jew he's discovered his judaism he's discovered his faith and a guy from masharim a hostage from you shalom and after i dunked in the mikvah i was on the side nobody saw me i was addressing it and these two guys were the mikvah so i hear this guy this is really baltrufa he's got tattoos from head to toe he did not have a square inch of his body that didn't have tattoos on him he's in the bigfoot okay so this hostage from sharim and he says to him he says aren't you a shame how do you dare go into rugby nachman's mikvah and you've got these tattoos go get rid of those tattoos it doesn't know anything about a tattoo but it's very painful skin graft and you can it's not so easy to race a tattoo so the young bt he was confident bt belchuva the young bt was confident in what he's doing and he looks this may i share him guy in the face and he says i'm not going to erase my tattoos he says what do you mean that's even bigger chutzpah don't you know the tattoo is forbidden by torah he says i didn't know anything about torah when i got those tattoos but i'll tell you one thing mr religious person when i get up he says when you get up to shaman they're gonna throw the book at you he said no they won't when i get up in shamayim i want to show them what i sacrificed to come close to hashem the world where hashem picked me up and say thank you hashem that's what i want to see this is where i come from these are my battle scars his battle scars from the non-religious world when there was no hashem to protect him then this religious guy huffed away and the balchu was left himself and took a look at him he had this tear in his eye so there was a fourth person to make what i know about but he came up to the balchuva and he held up his arm and on his arm it had a triangle and five numbers in a letter on the right farm and he said to the young balchuva it's the difference between understanding a caring person and a non-caring person he says you know you're right when i get up the shamayim i'm not going to raise my tattoo either because i want to show hashem where he took me from anybody that grows up in a place far from emunah not far from yiddishkai not far from far from emunah is a holocaust survivor because you can't get through life without the muna and there are people that think you could get through life without a muna because emunah is a battle it is a war and if you don't have a muna you have no weapons and people saying me i can't tell you how many parents from new york area and i'm talking about williamsburg and borah park and flatbush rav laser what do i do about my off the dairy child [Music] you know i tell them to do you pray for your child you learn emunah what do you mean i'm not off the derrick my kid's off the derrick and i said my cherished sister my cherished brother you were never on the direct excuse me i don't mean to be insulting but yeah you went to yeshiva you went to haiti nobody ever taught you about a muna you went to yeshiva katana you went to junior high school yeshiva nobody ever told you about munya you went to shiva gadola oh you learned gamora arashi toys fists nobody should talk you went to koilo certainly in coley never heard about muna when you have a muna and you learn a muna it comes into your dna you don't have to tell your kids a thing the best way to raise kids is by parental example and you get one expression if you live it you can give it if you don't live it you can't give it if somebody wants to borrow 100 bucks from you and you don't have 100 bucks in pocket sorry you can't keep it you can't give we don't have but they have that you could certainly give it this is why we need a murder we need a mother for ourselves for smiling our face not to tell you why people come to the shabbat table and what there's kids got to sit like little british soldiers they're you know westminster abbey like the guardian the queen don't move a muscle don't that's not shabbos table is joy kids want joy kids don't need more discipline they get yelled at all the time the teachers the principal threatened and kids want joy kids go to where the light is light and munah is light joy is light and muna is joy they're synonymous because if you don't have a muni you can't have joy and if you have a muna you're happy because the definition i know they definitely hamuna is a person who is happy with his or her lot in life that's not my words where's the perique office where do we reach every shabbat in the summer happy with life you know what it means when you're happy with your life means i like the way hashem runs the world if hashem gives me x amount of money a month that's good for me and if shem gives me y amount of money that's good but people want more money more fame more this more that how come we don't want warren moon up how come we don't want to be closer to hashem and that's why king solomon says king solomon is the greatest psychotherapist that ever lived knows more about than shaman anyone ever lived king solomon and king solomon says you cannot satiate the soul and king solomon was talking about material things can't think person that's fame wants more fame person has money wants more money person has a house okay you saved up and you bought yourself a great big house in great neck and it's got a swimming pool and it's got a tennis court and you're happy until your competitor gets a bigger house in great neck with a bigger swimming pool and a tennis court and a couple other amenities and this and that or a guy buys himself a brand new volvo he's so happy and his competitor buys a brand new maserati where women go and they did like a fashion show that they go with so much gold i think you know the women women are in fantastic shape do they get the biceps and forearms they walk around they did guys that they want to develop their forearms they wear weights on your forearms and they get all these weights weighted down with all this gold how the husbands are mortgaged to buy all the gold why need to go because the neighbors got that she can't be she can't go to an affair and have less gold than the neighbors do and and and the price says sheikh like i heard what new york sheikh go did for exaggerate by telling me twelve thousand dollars they hit twelve thousand dollars you don't have to but they hit twelve thousand dollars yes with the new thing the natural hair with the natural part the natural thing how much eight nine eight nine thousand bucks eight nine thousand bucks a coil family in erity squirrel the guy could study torah for four months for that kind of money four months now why keep legends that shapely used to be five hundred dollars six hundred dollars i don't know but i think the whole thing and the thing with the guys too the guys in the hasidic world is terrible and back back home in this area the bigger than the spottings crazy and they have this this mode with with the coin okay that looks like i can't stand it i can't say that my my my kids say that tatty why don't you get something like are you kidding i said i'm not afraid of anybody it looks like somebody he saw with the new strangle he saw a ghost and his hair standing up his trauma stand up the cutscene well it's not like that so they told the siren rabbi that the arabia told the tsar and he decided this month that he's going to change everything and he told us hasidim we're going to go back to the balchemt of 13 centimeters no more and that's it no more crown no more this that would get higher and higher and higher but instead of the time of getting higher and higher and higher how come i'm not getting higher and higher and higher and higher and getting closer to get close to hashem need more how do i get more emunah under fire did you ever see anyone build muscle by watching a football game on tv and drinking coke and potato chips have you ever seen a well-developed couch potato it doesn't happen it doesn't happen okay and women are jealous of this this young girl i think she's got you know that little woman in her teeth swirling ramak shemesh there's a a woman uh she's got six kids and she runs the marathon yeah okay and people are jealous of her size four size four mama six kids size four okay if you ran as many miles a day she did you'd be a size four too it's not that you could eat all day long eat all night long but you're running 20 miles a day you could be a size four and the same thing with a moon you don't get a muna from eating chocolate ice cream listen you get amuna from difficulty this is a muscle that nishamah is like a spiritual muscle and hashem knows that we can only get close to him by being challenged and that's why hashem gives us challenges and this keeps us happy because when a person doesn't look at life through eyes of a muna trump thinks shem hates me hashem hates me oh yeah yeah hashem don't mean this that shem's got plenty of kids he doesn't need me oh yeah i'll go back a war not from 1982 1982 when i came out of beirut live that's when i made shiva go back to 1973 in the yom kippur war and i should have made sure but didn't have the brain back then hashem had to give me a bigger wake-up call but when i was in the golan it was really nasty up there it was really nasty and a lot of people thought that this was the end of israel 1973. and i want to buy i was an american guy that came to eric's israel in 1970 and i was was called the high albudeed lone israeli soldier from america and one of the guys in my unit a moroccan guy from tiberius in his family they adopted me and i would go home i was in a kibbutz in the native in stable care and it was difficult to get from the golan and the lebanese border serving up north my unit served up north and to go all the way back down there so i would maybe go back to the kibbutz once a month and the rest if i had a short weekend i'd go with my my buddy you arm go to tiberius well in the fighting your arm got killed a lot of guys not everybody came home and there was a ceasefire and it was the last day of the shiva house and my commander and i said we're going to tiberius israel to go from the fighting in the border this is 45 minutes to go into into the country it's that they're different this is different scape it's not like america and vietnam america and iraq or no with us it's our backyard everywhere in the backyard where i live in proximity to gaza is closer much closer than when you live to kennedy airport faster i could be in gaza if there's no traffic in 18 minutes okay and it takes a kakusha rocket from gaza to reach my house heaven forbid in 32 seconds okay so when the alarm gets out we'd hear the alarm and uh you got 32 seconds to find safety all right 32 seconds to find safe that notion but back to to various stories so we went to the busaglo family that's a moroccan jewish family wonderful family and joram's parents had ten sons he had 10 sons so i went the last day of the shiva house and i asked mr vizago if i could go in and i i called his mother mama because she was like an adopted mother for me if i could be in ibm and we were caked with mud and coming right from the front and he said yes i went in there a woman went in before me and the women were sitting there and a woman comes in and she says to mrs buzaklo you should be happy that you've got another nine kids joram's mother she came from marrakesh in morocco and she didn't go to school and maybe she went to the third grade and she barely knew how to read and write but she was a moroccan jewish mama and she had all the wisdom that a moroccan jewish mama needs to know to give a good husband and raise wonderful kids and she said to that woman show me your two hands he says what do you mean show me two hands she says if i take a knife and cut off one of your fingers now i'm going to say be happy do you have another iron fingers it doesn't work that way as much as a jewish mother or jewish father loves their children multiply that by a million times and that's how much hashem loves you hashem loves you whenever you think life is difficult you tell yourself three words let me teach you two things tonight the first hashem loves me this is a rescue squad i once made magnets hashem loves me put it under a refrigerator or a group of women beams my organization made magnets send it out to people and a woman in denver colorado put this on her refrigerator the day she put in the refrigerator her husband did a very bad business deal she wasn't from sherman and her husband decided he lost a lot of money and he couldn't start over again and what he was going to do they'll leave his family set he's going to take their pickup truck and drive it off some rocky mountain cliff and make it look like an accident and his wife will collect the insurance and this and that the funeral nobody knew he committed suicide they said that no drugs no overdose no knifes no veins right a car off the cliff so he's contemplating his contemplating he's contemplating and he waits three o'clock in the morning while everybody's fat and he wants to go he's about to get in the car but before we go in the car he'd have to go thirsty at least he drinks something he turns on the little nightlight in the refrigerator and he sees this magnet on the refrigerator that day this hashem's divine direction that day she got that railed from ashdod israel she put on a refrigerator and he sees hashem loves me [Music] that little magnet and he broke down crying he said she woke up six o'clock in the morning she heard whimpering so husband went bringing it so what's the matter he says i'm going to try it again i'm not going to tell you what was the matter he contemplated suicide a magnet saved his life you tell yourself hashem loves me look in the mirror hashem loves me it can save your life because you think hashem has given you rough time why is hashem give me this health issue and why hashem has given me a financial issue and why is hashem can be a problematic child and why is hashem doing this it's all a war you're fighting a war but the only way to get through war is with a muna and one under fire and a muna means two things i could talk to hashem whenever i want and hashem loves me and it's the real deal and now i saw this this saved my life it could have been imagine kabbalah tells you what happens when the shaman leaves the body and i'm going to tell it like a modern day parable like that keep torah eye level when you go up to heavenly court they put you on a chair on a stage and the room is like a theater and it's blacked out and there's a balcony up in the theater that's where the the religious court judges are the diane shambhala the baseline shambhala when the heavenly court and in the audience are your grandparents your great-grandparents your rebbe is people that are close to you and then the shama sits on a chair and it's like there's a blinding white light is shine on the shaman and he can't see what's going on there the trauma can't see but behind the shama is this big screen oh oh you know what they show on the screen the story of life everything that happened and all the intimate stuff that they think nobody ever knew about and here everybody knows wow all the stuff you did behind closed doors everything except for what you made shuva if you made true before it that gets erased from the film let's get wiped out of the film and that is really really embarrassing really really embarrassing it's just when a person that's chuva shuba is like physical just like if it's taking a shower's physical hygiene chuva is spiritual hygiene when you take the soul and you wash it every day and it smells good because a soul with transgressions doesn't have a nice smell to it and that attracts negative forces this is not my words the words of rubbish that tomorrow night is is your site the day after tomorrow night this is your site and unless he writes in the zora right since keeps us clean but the second film is even worse it's even more embarrassing you know what they show in the second film they show you what you could have done if you had a muna how great you could have been and instead of wasting time on worry and wasting time and i'm not good enough and wasting time on being jealous of the neighbor and wasting time doing that you got closer to hashem and affirmative you could you could have brought all of brooklyn close to a shen maybe if you had a clear head you make a cure for cats you could do great things the greatest things in the world that's what we learned here you'll believe it read by zakaiyah wallistein look what one person did what one human being did the good morning tractate sanhedrin says that he who saves a life saves an entire world well when a guy that's been a day or two in jewish outreach when a guy falls off the dare and he comes back in he's like a hero's welcome but when a girl falls off the dare that's bad news because people especially in new york what did she do when she was off the derrick now this so once they close the digits it's like persona non grata and it's got a rough time it's much more difficult for a girl who falls off the derrick to come back then a guy that falls off the dare comes in rabbi zacharia wallace stein gathered these girls together that people even their parents wiped them out of their lives you know what rabbis high wall shine would do people don't even know about we were so close at night he would go not to the jewish sides of town to places i'm talking about like mcdonald's and burger kings and in parking lots where these girls used to hang out and they're off the derrick and they did all types of substances etcetera etcetera etcetera and he brought him back and sometimes you would bring him back with a good meal or something and a good encouraging word and he made a school for these girls and i know i saw this with my own eyes i saw what he did because every time he came to new york robert hire would pick me up in the car and we'd go and i'd speak to his girls in a school like that for guys then he had a second school like that for girls and a second school like that for guys and he built the vino malcano and it was a revolutionary not only coast to coast united states i get a message from his secretary rabbi wants to meet you in manchester in the uk what's there there's a vienna volcano in the uk coast to coast worldwide what if you don't look an empire one person one person okay rabbi zakhar used to say three things make it happen where did he get the power where'd he get the power that did another little story people don't know he built a branch a ranch at upstate new york for girls well i wasn't born looking like this i wasn't born i graduated college of agriculture university of maryland in 1970 i went terrency swirl and i did my dream i had a double dream of being a pioneer farmer and a soldier in aries cesaro and i did both i went for it i had my goals and and went for it okay so that's how i knew a few things about animals and agriculture so a couple years ago when i was in new york and we spent the day together i was like talking to the girls in the school i saw you can't believe these girls there are girls in the school they were doing drugs behind a burger king with puerto rican guys that are now repetitions in beit shemesh their husbands are in coilo and their kids are in haiti and it's rubbed by zachariah wallace stein saved him if you decide that what you want to do and that people know that i'm toning it down i could do a whole lesson just about what he did you can change the world but you know why you don't change the world because you don't believe in yourself and that's the moon too to have a murder means you have to believe in yourself not just to believe in hashem because how can you believe in yourself you cannot believe in yourself without believing hashem because when you believe in hashem you know that hashem made me special hashem gave you a mission on earth that nobody else could do you don't believe in yourself you can see this morning i had the privilege does anybody know mandy rosenberg mendy and malkie rosenberg and flatbush mandy's got lou gehrig's disease okay a couple years ago we did a shore in flatbush one of the biggest durian we had in our mendy that mandy that all the monarchy spread should be mendy back then ten years ago the doctors gave mendy six months the first thing i did when i got off the plane this morning i just came in this morning for nancy swirl i went to visit mendy he's still with us his amuna is off the charts it's lou gehrig's everything from the neck down doesn't work he can't speak he communicates with his electrode and he moves his eyes that puts a message on it's unbelievable technology and money could do whatever you want emunah defies why nature is below the stars and muna is above nature miracles above nature and muna equals miracles so if you decide you want bad enough i want to change the jewish world i want to change the world you could do it because you believe in yourself and believe that hashem gives you the power and hashem didn't put you for nothing and hashem could do whatever he wants and he can help you do whatever you want and especially when it's the good of making the world a better place this one's rabzikarya ramsay you say make it happen he says to me one trip laser what do you think about me building a remedial horse farm for girls get them out of nature get them out of the city get them out of the shorts of the city bring them out there animals i said everybody say it's not a new idea so what do you mean i said there's such a thing as remedial horseback riding they take kids that have add adult types of problems the kids that have post trauma and teach them how to ride horses and teach them how to take care of horses and there's a magic with horses it's not a magic with horses they're the shamans of transit contract lightning horses i know my great grandfather was a stoner he was a blacksmith and he loved horses he was a he was a hidden static his rabbit that yanuka was stolen right he swallowed was stolen that's where he loved horses he loved horses why did everything see a horse he'd pull an apple out give the horse apple to eat because he knew when the shama's in there trapped the shamans one day that the algorithm convention in warsaw the all giants of the generation were there the the the guerrilla the the emery ms and hoffenheim and rob uh joseph kudzinski with high moisture all the grates in the world stolen a rubbish comes and he comes in a carriage horse and gets off and he feeds a horse an apple what's young carlo guy saw and here's all these big things and here's this rabbit comes they say this is a great ribbon and he's whispering something in the horse's ear and he's feeding an apple he says what kind of strange behavior is that so the rabbit you know what this guy's thinking so he calls him over yet he says says young man come here he says do you know what breed this horse is there's a belgian or a quarter horse or so i don't know he says do you know how old this horse is he says no i don't know he says do you know what this is a workhorse or a pleasure horse he says no i don't know and the young guy says what do you want from me i don't know anything about horses he says if you know nothing about horses you think you know about siddiqui it doesn't work that way okay yeah they said yiddish it sounds a lot stronger there's goldness from the field it was basically from siddiqui and a horse if there's something about on the shum of a horse that when a person gives to a horse always appreciates it so they have a remediable horseback riding he told ribs heights a wonderful idea and he did it he did it he didn't say people are going to think i'm the sugar just like they thought the stolen rebbe dianuco stolen was crazy he did it he saved young girls he brought miserable young girls that went happy a summer on the horse farm he brought him up he sent them home it wasn't the same girl he sent home that he brought there he did so many revolutionary things and his favorite expression was make it happen and in his loving memory i add a muna to make it happen and say beloved brothers and sisters i mean blah blah blah no it's true it's not my word the torah torah says you're all beloved sons and daughters of hashem so if i am a son of hashem and you're a son of hashem you're a daughter of hashem you don't need a phd a genealogist no a brother and sister and that's the only way to be making afterlife love your neighbors yourself when you realize that dude we're all one but if a person doesn't have a muna and a person doesn't believe that that's the son of hashem and that's the daughter of hashem and he looks at but the body but he's not got his pure cardano and she doesn't have her estee lauder on or whatever it is and that's the way we judge people by griezonius you know what happens to the exterior of a person 48 hours after the shaman leaves can't get near it better be in the ground fast but the shaman so we're running so much to develop our bodies what kind of our 22 inch biceps and the clothes we wear and the shite that we wear the hairdo the makeup that this and that the car we drive what about the neshama what about vitamin e for the neshama your car is not going to get you to the war your sheikh is not going to get you through the war only a muna is going to get you safely to the other side and this is what rebbe nachman said that the whole world is a narrow bridge and the important thing is not to be afraid and the only way not to be afraid is to know what king david said and the most famous sonnet ever that all of humanity says it even the glory you have at their funeral psalm 23 gang although i walk in the valley of death i shall not fear for you are with me [Music] it is the real deal and one thing hashem enabled me give me a free gift see the power of a muna i had to work for lots of years to earn it on my own but in beirut in 1982 and i was in a nasty crossfire a nasty crossfire with a mission with a handful of israeli commandos that had to do something in downtown beirut and the mission got botched and all of a sudden the sky opened up and chicken little didn't have anywhere to go and it was i don't want to go into all the dirty details where it went from but crossfire and the guys in our unit started getting hit and it was bad and my radio man took a piece of shrapnel this big and it cut his thigh open like a grapefruit and [Music] now the guy got split in half i don't want to go into the graphic it's too difficult it's a worst day in my life worst day of my life i don't know what came out inside of me hashem get me out of here i never die i grew up in a conservative family they went to made me a bar mitzvah in silver spring maryland university of maryland and we had friday night dinner and we had matzon pesach and a peso seder and we had latkes and dreidel on chanukah and that was my judaism that was judaism it's over spring then okay and our conservative rabbi was really an orthodox rabbi was a holocaust survivor from france and he became rabbi conservation to parnosa it was a way to make a living okay he was a nice guy and a nice people this is conservative judaism back in the 1950s was i think it stronger than modern orthodox did now because they have the generations get weaker except for the ammonite generation the ammonia generations get stronger but the other generations get weaker [Music] a kyushu right hits 400 meters you know what it is when a kakusha rocket hits 400 meters from you feels like your eardrums are that's it you then the next one it's 200 meters from me you see that they know where we are they're honing in on us they know where we are in downtown beirut and it creates 200 meters when a katusha rocket hits 200 meters you feel like there's an electric shock from your brain that shudders inside your skull down to your feet can't even begin to describe that then that would hit 100 meters when a katyusha rocket hits 100 meters from you you could feel all your innards like you're about to explode you could feel where your stomach is you can feel your liver is you can feel it spleen in your gallbladder they all yell i'm here i'm here you feel these different organs popping out you don't feel you don't know where your your kidneys your spleen your gall bladder is oh when it could use rock it hits hundred meters when a kakusha rocket hits 40 meters anyone in the 40 meter radius well the way they were holding us not just that's just the artillery fire that's not without the sniper fire the other and laser looked to the watch and there's at lot 45 seconds to go like king david in the cul-de-sac what do you do nowhere to go nowhere to treat no word direction can't go can't go anywhere and i lean down behind a car on a street in beirut and i take out a tourniquet to stop my radio guy's fire from bleeding otherwise he's going to bleed to death and he's in panic laser don't leave me i'm not going anywhere roughly i'm right here with you and i don't know what to do and then there's a spurt of machine gun fire it goes to the car's windows and i caught a piece of glass cut my open like a grapefruit and first i thought i lost the eye that's it but i feel okay still got one good eye got two good arms i could keep on firing keep on going but i couldn't see out of that eye now we're down about it's all happening very fast maybe 25 30 seconds maybe 20 seconds i don't know and there's nowhere to go and i said hashem get me out of here i know where it came from i surprised myself he never talked to hashem prayed hashem get me out of here i had an answer in my brain that answer you can hear with your ears but answering your brain somewhere in the shaman the brain and the voice i heard in my head okay lazy i'm gonna get you out of here but you're going to change your life i said okay i'm going crazy i'm going crazy one thing either i'm going crazy or it's real and one thing i was never and my unit guys were big and strong and i said we had a very special unit and i was the guy with the willpower i was a the little guy the light guy the guy that was 140 pounds soaking wet like dick the cat but i was level-headed i didn't think i was going crazy but i might have been going crazy so it's a 50-50 chance either the voice is real or lasers lost it okay enough pressure there's such things under pressure that you lose it you can't hear the fuse blow the fuses in your brain blow you can't handle the pressure [Music] and this has all happened in a small amount of seconds you have to understand and muna is above time hashem is above time i could write a book about this and it would take you about a 350 page book about it take you a long time to read but it's all a matter of seconds above time and i said nobody could make a prize where's that and then it came back again and it said laser the foil i'm going to get you out of here i said what lays there for nobody knows my full name the only time i've ever heard that was that bar mitzvah and rabbi brandris at the hartseon conservative show on silver spring maryland called me up to elia yamo i said who in the middle of beirut knows eliezer for i never went by that name i never went that back they had one name laser that's it eliezer a fall never went by that man please and then i made a little commitment to the voice and to myself [Music] i said i don't know if this is real or not but if it is you got a deal the most inexplicable series of miracles happen one after the other one after the other one after the other i came out alive with another seven of my friends somebody came out bloody a little bit four did not make it four did not make it oh the story's not over my seven friends the eight of us came out alive laser sold his farm and went through shalin to learn first and stolen shiva then asia torah or noah heinberg [Music] my other guys the other guys they didn't smell the coffee and they went back to the old way of life hashem waited for them waited for them jay waited for them one had a head-on card collision that's it one head at the nasty big c we don't like to say that word finish on it the only one that's alive today with me is my commander who stayed the same he was religious before the war he stayed the same after war like what they call national religious but he also paid a price he had this gorgeous farm in gus katie you have heard of crush katie okay he lost everything gorgeous home a big villa and greenhouses and everything that's it hashem does miracles for us but we have to realize that the miracles have a price tag you go to a restaurant you have to pay the bill we have to pay the bills our bill is getting close to hashem saying thank you to hashem doing hashem's work hashem what can i do remember what robert kennedy you're too young to remember john kennedy john f kennedy was president john f kennedy got assassinated i was 11 years old in washington d.c i remember that there was home sick that flew in and lee harvey oswald assassinated john kennedy there was a bay of pigs and it was almost war and people in silver spring were digging bomb shelters in the backyard talking about 1960 in 1960 i was 11 years old that's when john f kennedy says ask not what your country could do for you ask what you could do for your country we see hashem gives us every single heartbeat if this heartbeat was strong as a stethoscope and i'd put it to my heart you ever heard a heartbeat really what it does it goes like this that's hashem personally beating your heart hashem to say that's a shampoo nobody else never had anybody plugged into a generator and plugged into it that's hashem doing it personally it's only hashem and odd milvado the three words are nothing but hashem it's all hashem and people think and whatever i think it makes me crazy and then and brooklyn the shidduchim resume it's all lies the shotgun are all lies it's all garbage you know you want to find a good shidu you do one thing listen to lazy find the best guy in the world to find the best girl in the world look for a good heart people want money and they want the spits in the mirror you're shivering they want this they want that is a guy going to respect his wife is she going to respect her husband she could be a good mother oh no no she's not boom that's it there you go i was waiting for the acer to come last time i was in baltimore i blew seven microphones and milwaukee three speaker systems thank you now we know yeah robbie he's been hiding you did a good job maybe scared robbie scared of fazon because they're strong okay but now all right you see i the important thing don't be afraid at all that's what tells us we've got to have that's our connection with hashem and to believe hashem and thank hashem so say three things we've got to remember and if you don't remember write this down hashem loves me there's another three words that's nothing but hashem but who's that hashem that there's nothing but him that's our first principle morning he alone did does it will do everything and who's that he alone does though who is that who's that entity that's my top in him well that's my father in heaven oh yeah you mean the one that does everything is my father yes and he loves me more than a she-bear loves her cubs and certainly more than a yiddish mama loves her kids as much as she loves her kids hashem loves me more because hashem made me unique my thumbprint shows my uniqueness nobody has my thumbprint nobody has my neshama i can only do things hashem put each one of us on earth to do what can we learn for everybody's a higher wallerstein that you could do whatever you want and i i'm telling you i stopped to think the second movie i told you about what you could have done suppose hashem didn't send laser brodie into the idea if it toward the combat laser brodie could have still been and man me on his mountaintop farm raising turkeys and plums oh you had raised great turkeys had a good reputation the best peaches in in northern israel and they asked israeli turkey farmer excuse me sir you've been raising turkeys for 45 years turkeys are known to be a dumb bird that doesn't affect your brain he says i go up rabbi zakaria he could go up he could be proud of that second movie because he did what he was supposed to do let me tell you something rebecca's hired rabbi sahiya had a little bit of a silver spoon his father was a successful businessman he had a lot of money he had a lot of busy big business reviews everything's out of his own pocket out of his own pocket well he could have continued having new york guy okay he was going to have a harusa for an hour between medical and mario but could you develop his business not him he looked around and what does hashem need not ask what hashem could do for me ask what i could do for hashem and he saw the girls in new york city wow that said what are we chasing after bali chuvas for we're looking for that with our own gabor mckinley our own born in the program kids are going off the derrick he says somebody got to do something and he picked up his weapon and he started doing something and he picked up one girl and two girls who became an empire an empire this is the power of one person if i would have gone up there and book hashem the people didn't know what i got to say what i do but uh go around the world and the books that have enabled me to write and translate by the way all the books there are the books that i've written the last three years one of the things that i had to go on my own and already three and a half years and not with rabbi irish because i just had to do my own thing i couldn't do the wrong thing i had to do my own mission and two days ago was my 73rd birthday hashem i'm a soldier in your army i don't have time to get old hashem i don't have time to get out of shape you got to keep me in shape to do what i'm doing combat soldier everybody in shape because this is a war a muna under fire this is a war okay so imagine if laser wasn't in the first lebanon war and still be growing and they shall become told them above okay grew these nice peaches and these nice plums and every once in a while i gave a box of plums to poor family and they said look what you could have done and they showed this for him and then the shaman said this look what you could have done don't go there don't wait for a physical war don't wait to be a ukrainian jew and marry a pole for your wake-up call it's not aki dory look around what needs to be done and it's not a great big thing you know what you could do a woman came to me this week in eretzy swirl and she says rabbi i'm unfulfilled what are they what do you mean you under phil you got a great husband he's a tom and hachem you keep inventory you got great kids i can do it but i don't feel fulfilled listen i can't tell you what you don't feel fulfilled take divine direction it's a brand new book and bo hashem thank you hashem uh and people are hungry for it because people don't know who hashem is what hashem is in life that a personal involvement that hashem has in your life every moment of the day and it's based on teachings about shem tov you heard freed song about the leaf you know the leaf of the leaf covered the worm that the worm was about to dry out in the sun okay that's one of the stories in the book but hashem is involved in a worm and a leaf which leaf falls on a tree and it's going to go in the wind in the meadow and hashem sends a wind and hashem takes all of creation in order to save the life of a worm what's hashem going to do to save the life of a young lady the spiritual life who's having a spiritual crisis in brooklyn what's hashem going to do to save a young man hashem brings bret moishe and his friend brings bjx and builds this whole thing and she doesn't even have it's got no idea what he's doing okay because hashem's got this one the shama who also doesn't know the difference between a bagel and a ball game a lot boomer i like bowmer should be big success here everything you do for one young guy for one young guy the rest is all prophet hashem will change the entire order of creation so that one jewish kid from cleveland can learn what the word of munna means he get and that's tim is such a loving father if we have difficulties in life the difficulties mean my beloved son my beloved daughter you haven't had the sense to come close to me on your own accord and that's not being thrown when i was in college i had a motorcycle it was a from motorcycle every time i put my hand on the throttle it's a batter of being in muna believing in assembly myself so one hashem loves me and the second hashem created me with the power to accomplish whatever i can these are two things i want to tell yourself hashem loves you loves me loves you and we all have the power to do whatever we want and the reason we don't do it is for two reasons we don't have a muna we don't have the desire if you have the ammuna and you have the desire and my proof and loving memory of rabbi zachary wallerstein with all the good he did and he left a gap this was such a shock to judaism such a shock people asked me what i said when i eulogized him i said what do we lose hey you got this clean shaven guy people thought he was a businessman a businessman in my humble opinion i have a i know a lot of rabbis around the world and i know a lot of outreach that all the major players in outreach and i know a lot of jewish speakers appear with them speaking them if they ask for the laser brodie ratings rabbis holly wallerstein jewish speaker number one in the world jewish educator number one in the world jewish outreach rabbi number one in the world that's what they call the hockey the triple crown okay a hat trick he was all three and hashem took him away that's the generation we cannot for in his loving memory we have to continue and we continue his legacy by doing what we can first of all if we don't have the hundred bucks in our own pocket we can't lend it strengthening our ammuna strengthening one of our spouses and our children and strengthening the outside no matter what you're doing if you're a teacher you're accountant you're a shoe salesman whatever you do you could do with muna you could put on to try shoes that okay president obama okay should help you find the right pair of shoes if it's by me by microphone that's fine it's all he deserves a living too you deserve the best pair of shoes that's a buddha guy's not worried he's got trying to convince him to power to buy shoes from him he knows he's going to get his income from hashem he's like looking over him you know we do whatever we do we bring ourselves closer to hashem and by doing that we bring the whole world close to hashem and once again i believe that hashem loves me and hashem enables me to fulfill my dreams hashem gives me the power to fill my dreams that's hashem because he put me on earth and he didn't put me here on earth nothing that's the two basic things don't become more from keep doing what
