it's a wonderful privilege a great truth
and an honor
to be able to share a shi'u presented by
hazak
and chicken for shabbos and the title is
let's
produce we're going to try to talk a
little about the power that we have with
our words words can heal
and words can kill so
to be able to speak on behalf of hazak
what a wonderful
organization i was just shown around the
office and
the work that they do is just remarkable
i'm reminded of
in massachusetts and 85th page
85a where the gemara says if one
teaches a son of someone who's
unaffiliated
torah he has so much
that if he decrees something hashem is
as if forced to fulfill it
that continues and says that if one
teaches his
son's friend torah zoi
he will merit to sit upstairs with all
the tadikim in the heavenly yeshiva
what greatest to be involved
in teaches us
you should have many students but not
everyone is capable of having many
students
not everyone is a qualified teacher i
think if one supports
this unbelievable work of chazak he will
get all the merits associated with those
who in fact
teach those people
it will be counted as if he in fact has
many students
he will merit to sit in the yeshiva
shalmala
and he has the courage to give blessings
and to decree and hashem as if
is forced to fulfill cannot think of a
more worthy cause to be involved in
partnering with hazak
and what about chicken for shabbos
chicken for shabbos is such
a wonderful wonderful organization
they support so much males that has
have to be fed especially
families of milan and there is a
medicine
the middle says in the future there will
be seven groups
of sadiq that will sit around the sit to
the right side of hashem
and the medish answers
the group of the milam dem the group of
the rabbis those who teach
to our youth how does the medish know
this
it's a pasuk in tehilim
sweetness when the rabbit teaches it
over with sweetness to the kid and they
just want more
he gets to sit on the right side of the
balcon
for eternity but again as we said before
not everyone is qualified to become a
teacher who can give it over with
sweetness to the kids
but i think if one supports the milandi
through chickens for shabbis he gets
those merits as well
and he will be associated with those who
teach torah to the youth and therefore
he gets to sit on the right side of the
ball
have the weight corresponding to all the
mitzvahs of the torah
so when you give to chickens for shabbos
chickenforshabbis.com and when you give
to hazak
give hazak.com i think one merits
all those unbelievable virtues that we
just mentioned
and he meant hashem praise worthy are
they
and they should we always have the koi
to continue with their avoid
so we speak about the power of
our words i want to share with you an
amazing story
shortly after the holocaust the boba
ferreirbe the grand rebbe
of babuf a hasidic master
was walking to shul on a weekday
and he saw this eid this jew who looked
very unkempt
very sad it looked as if he didn't have
any will
to live anymore so the baba from
was walking to shoal and he asked him
would you maybe like to come along with
me
and this fellow says no maybe you'd like
to put on that fitting
and this man says no so the baba forever
says to him
would you like to be the khazan and he
says
yes i'd like to be the chasen they go to
shul
and he was the khazen a few days later
it's shabbis
the bob of arabic goes to shul with his
son aftali
and right in front of the show right in
front of the entrance to the shul they
see again this fellow
smoking a cigarette and shabbis the baba
foreign looks at him and says
would you like to come in and dive in
with us
and he says no the baba foreign looks at
him again and says would you like to
come in and maybe you can be our cousin
again you did such a good job just a few
days ago maybe you'd like to be the
cousin again
and this man says yes i like that idea
yes
i'll come in with you into show
his son naftali asks
you're going to give a person who's a
mikhail shabbis if i like shabbos and
you're going to allow him to be the
hazen in our shul
and the baba forever says why do you say
that he's mikhail shabas
and his son says what do you say what do
you mean why didn't you see him smoking
a cigarette at the entrance of the show
just a few minutes ago
and the baba foreign looked at his son
and he told him you should know
this man is not smoking a cigarette it's
hitler
that's smoking the cigarette it's the
nazi miyama shimamura smoking the
cigarette
fast forward 50 years later
looking fellow comes over to the baba
farebe was very old at the time already
and he says to him
you probably don't recognize me 50 years
ago you brought me to your school and
you allowed me to be the chasen
bo hashem those words of encouragement
you gave me hope
you allowed me to be who i am and now my
grandson is getting married
i wanted to invite the rebbe to
officiate the wedding
and the rebbe was very old and awake and
he asked him where and when will the
wedding take
place and he told him i'm so sorry i
won't be able to attend but i would like
to come to the cheva brachus if it's
possible
and he says sure the baba foreign came
to the cheva bajos
and this man shakes his hand and says to
him do you see the 75
little kindle here 75 beautiful children
all hasidish and the baba philippe says
yeah
he says you know these are not my
grandchildren
these are your grandchildren you enabled
and allow them to become who they
are because of your words of
encouragement 50
years ago the koyak that we have
with our mouths let's counter that with
another story
about 13 years ago i was here in the
states
i live in arizona i live in ramada
chemist but i was visiting near the
states and i was in connecticut
and i used to go to david in a certain
town i'm not going to mention the name
but it's up in connecticut and i saw
that every single day
they barely had a minion in the summer i
figured it's kind of hard
some people are away they go up to the
mountains barely had a minion
one day we didn't even have a minion
from inhamaref
and then one day there were two
travelers
passing by who joined the minion and
between mir hamarev there was a few
minutes
and i heard them speaking to each other
and saying all about
they're raving about a certain
restaurant in town a kosher restaurant
and i was very surprised
so i've already became friendly with the
president of the show so i go over and i
say
you have a kosher restaurant in this
town you barely have a minion
and this is it president says to me of
course we actually have two
kosher restaurants in town and i was
very surprised who supports these
restaurants you barely have a minion
he says what are you talking about we
have five different minions
in this town but all of them are pretty
much the same very weak
so i asked them tell me how is it
possible what's going on here explain to
me
and he says if you have to know of you
must know i'll tell you
about a hundred years ago came a very
important rabbi to this town
and he opened up the first real big
yeshiva in america
many guitar your soul studied there the
scheinberg and many others
but the balabatim in town and the union
of the
didn't like him they didn't get along
because he run it wanted to raise the
bar
of srita and they weren't happy about it
so they made his life miserable for 17
years
it peaked and purim when they sent them
mishloch
what was in that mishloch
live rats and the rabbitson
opened it and she lost it literally
she was hospitalized until the day she
died that was the straw that broke the
camel's back and at that point
that rabbi got up and he said i'm out of
here
in this town in this town torah should
never flourish
and he moved his yeshiva to ohio we're
not going to mention exact locations and
exact names of the
shiva the yeshiva is still around until
today
and the president of the show tells me
in fact since then
torah has never flourished in this town
and it's been
75 77 years
and he keeps telling me that you know a
few years ago
we tried to go to this rabbi's grave
to ask michila to ask for his
forgiveness
but it was a cold winter day it was a
sunday people don't work so we figured
we'll get ten men
but then came the blizzard of 2006.
it was so much snow we couldn't get the
minion
we only got eight guys
so we never got to ask him so i told him
you know i'm here
for another week and a half or so get
eight guys yourself and me we'll have
ten let's do it don't wait for the
winter it's not happening in the winter
this was in the summer
i was visiting here in connecticut and
he says really you'll come
you'll join us i said it will be a great
suit for me
so i wait a day and he doesn't give me a
call
two days three days four days a week and
a half the day i'm about to leave
i meet him and i say so what's going on
he said i couldn't get the guys
couldn't get the guys to come to the
cave i couldn't get ten men
to go and ask michelle armed with this
information i go back to el tisor
and i tell him the whole story
and i asked him does this kehillah have
to ask me
this is obviously not the same people
who hurt the rabbi seven years ago
then rebel yashev wrote a letter
and in the letter he writes al-pidin
they're not mercury they're not
obligated to go and ask because this is
not the same people
who offended the rabbis so many years
ago however they should do
everything in their power to go and ask
me
because from this kehillah came
out such a bizayan
such a disgrace to torah and if they do
so hashem
will immense hashem shower them with an
abundance of spirituality
will give them a spirit of kedusha and
tahara many many blessings
i sent this letter to the rabbi who was
a new rabbi of that shul
and a few months later hashem
and shiva's albe thomas the following
year
they put flyers all over town and many
people came to his grave to ask michila
publicly they read the letter that i
sent them from ravel yashif zaza
they said pirkei tehilim and that was an
unbelievable the following summer
i go there again and i can't believe it
30 people show up to aminha
in the middle of the you know afternoon
of a summer day
i thought maybe there's uh somehow in
town something going on the following
day
is the same thing 30 40 guys and always
on time and that was a big finish always
on time
a few days later i met the rabbi i said
to him you know i'm the one who sent you
that letter i'm so excited to see
this is amazing so many people in
dominion
he takes me to his office and he shows
me his calendar he says you see
we only missed one minha a few months
ago there was something going on in town
we always have a steady minion
usually 30 to 40 people and always on
time it's just
unbelievable the remarkable
of the blessing of an adam goddard
a couple years later i go there again
suddenly
there's barely a minion and i'm
wondering what's going on
the minion slowly dissolved and
ultimately closed down
that was the summer revel yoshi
passed away
it is the dispute between our rabbis
in the medlish a blessing of an adam
gador
does it apply only while he's alive or
even after
he departs i said well at least
i have one source to show the latter
they show that after abu yoshif passed
away
unfortunately as if his baja
didn't apply anymore but you see from
this
story both the koach tremendous strength
that we have
with our words words can kill
and words can heal what do we choose to
do with our words
continuing with that theme of record of
the blessing
of great individuals
a certain person from the states called
me a few years ago
it was a tuesday and he says i want to
board the plane this evening
to land in arizona tomorrow if you can
get me into syria primeknives
i want to get his blessing i said what's
going on and he explained
his daughter was very sick she had some
she had something very very unique
that the doctor said there's no cure for
very rare
one or two people in the entire world
have it
they did a series of tests and they all
indicated that this in fact is what she
has
but there was one test left so he says
to his daughter don't do the test
wait i'm going to go to a tesor i'm
going to get a bracha from kanyevsky and
then you can do the test so he asks me
can you get me in
and i said a minute sasha he met hashem
i will he boards the plane he lands the
following day
we go into the primeknives and i
explained to him
this yid came specially from the states
just to get your blessing because his
daughter is doing really really
bad shape he explained the own the whole
situation and
he looks at him and he was in a special
mood that day
and he says to him if you grow a long
beard your daughter will be okay
this guy was clean-shaven so i look at
him and i say
do you accept this on yourself and he
says yes
so i say to the primeknives he accepts
this on himself
so abraham says so she will be okay
so i was also in a special mood that day
and i said what i normally don't say to
the prime and i asked
do you promise she will be okay and the
prime answer in a way that he never
answers and he says
yes if she will if he will grow a beard
his daughter will be okay
amazing such confidence we go out
the guy turns around and he goes back to
the states
sunday was the test the doctors told him
he calls me on monday to report the
doctor said this is an open miracle
she doesn't have anything it went away
open miracle
fast forward a year and a half later he
comes back down to the sword and he asks
me
to go into the ibrahimovsky again he
wants to say thank you
so we go into the time and i say rebbe
if you remember a year and a half ago i
brought this fellow
his daughter was doing very very bad
and you give him a blessing and you said
if you'll grow a beer your daughter will
be okay and that's exactly what happened
he went back to the states she did the
test
and the doctors are saying the doctors
are saying it's an open miracle
so he came to say thank you before he
had the chance to say thank you
primeknivsky says why do you want to
thank me
thank latoya says
it has nothing to do with me so i said
well
you did give the blessing and lucam says
well the gemara says
and don't let a blessing of a simpleton
be unimportant in your eyes
this is an example of the koyakadebu
the strength that we have in our mouth
because if you watch your mouth
and you don't speak la shanhara and you
don't say what you're not allowed to say
and if you do say those things that
you're required to say
you use your words you use your mouth
for kedusha and tahara
for sanctity and purity gives you
tremendous
that when you give blessings to others
they work i'll share with you a recent
story that happened to me with the
primeknivsky
i have a dear neighbor his name is
i asked him permission and he's very
excited to share his story so i can
share his name
he was married for 21 years with no
children
21 years imagine the pain
about a year a year and a half ago he
goes to the prime
and he tells him a story and the prime
says build the mikveh
that is the asa that is the advice that
hopefully
will yield the desired results and it's
a measure for measure
you enable couples to have children you
in return will have children
so he raised six hundred and fifty
thousand shekels that he didn't have
he worked tirelessly and he was able to
raise this money
and bor hashem in a few months they are
able to open a beautiful mikveh in a
place called
zohar about 40 minutes south of
yerushalayim
it was in the month of tamus and they
asked me to go there and i spoke and it
was very very exciting
and that night his wife became pregnant
nine months later she had a baby girl
unbelievable but this is only round one
wait this fellow itsukuri has a brother
his name is neri nerikuli
and he was married for 13 years
no children so a month after it went
to ibraheem and the prime told him to
open up a mikveh
he goes to the climate tells him i'm
married 13 years and i don't have any
children thinking abraham is going to
say the same open up
but looks at him and he says myself
should be strict with my sin and he says
but
any dollar that comes in i write down
and i'm very strict i give
my myself money and abraham says i'm not
talking about my so money
i'm talking about thomas and my source
giving time from
from the fruits and says i'm also strict
with that but
repeats himself be careful with myself
so this fellow goes
to the store where he always buys his
fruits and vegetables where he thought
they're very strict
with giving two more months but
apparently they were not
and he became very strict with it and
within three weeks his wife became
pregnant
and she gave birth about a month and a
half
after her sister-in-law of after itseli
had his daughter
neri his brother had his son
unbelievable
in the mouth of the saddiqui to give a
blessing but it doesn't end there
it secretly shared with me that before
his brother was married
he lived by him for about half a year
and at one point he looked at his older
brother at itsek and he says to them you
know
it's first you and then me
after i get married hopefully soon
you should have children first and then
i should have because it's only right
you're older than me you're married
already a bunch of you're about seven
years at that time
and you still don't have kids it's only
right that you should have kids and then
i should have them
and it success what are you saying don't
say that don't talk like that don't say
that and he says no it's only right
first you and then me
look at that he opened his mouth
he had to endure 13 years
of not having children the koyak of
adibu
recently a widow shared with me
that five years ago she went along with
her husband late husband
to a lawyer to write a will and the
lawyer
apparently not the sharpest knife in the
drawer
asks them so how long do you think
you're going to be around for
and her husband says ah max
five years and she thought it's a joke
so she left
as the lawyer did and exactly
five years later at 85 he was taken
don't open your mouth and say things
that
you're not supposed to say we have to
use our mouths
for encouraging others
for giving compliments for learning
toyota for
davening for saying for words of kedusha
words of taharah words of sanctity words
of purity khalid
not to say anything negative not to say
loshon not the cheat and lie
we have such amazing kawak in our mouths
we have to make sure we use it in the
right way
you know says that if one speaks losh
aside for the grave sin that he's
involved in
after all tell us
that that's the reason the second base
that we still
mourn its destruction was destroyed
because of this terrible sin of loss
of hatred and has the weight
corresponding to the
three cardinal sins that destroyed the
first beta mikdash
and the first base of midash came back
after 70 years
the second still didn't and it's two
thousand years
says the time other than the aveira
other other than the transgression of
saying los angeles
if one speaks slash on he shows he
demonstrates with his actions that he
does not yearn
and he doesn't anticipate the building
of the beta mignash
in the coming of mashiach because if
that's what's holding the mashiach
from coming how can you be involved in
los angeles
it shows that you're not really looking
forward you dive in every day three
times a day and you say
bring us
back again in you shalom and see the
glory of the shrine in your
life with beta mikdash but how can you
speak which delays and prevents
the geulah
we as parents as teachers
as friends we are
dealing with neshamus we are dealing
with
jewish souls and as such
few good words can influence our kids
our friends our spouses
in such a good way and a few negative
words
can destroy a person
we can become doctors doctors
heal we can heal others with our words
we are all doctors we are here for a
mission
and our mission is to help others
the brits are velocity says that his
father represent used to say
that we are here in order to help others
that's why we were created let's try to
accept on ourselves
that there shouldn't be even one day
that passes by
that we don't give some words of
encouragement
compliments praises
to someone whether it's our spouse
our children our friends it doesn't make
a difference
people that we meet along the way you
don't know what it can do remember the
first story richard
with the bubble forever 50 years later
he sees an entire army
that he himself created with a few words
50 years before
if we use our mouth in the proper way
hakude shiboku gives us such
such strength to build to create
to decree and immerse hashem
hashem is as if forced to fulfill those
decrees
as we said before people who cause
others to learn cause
others to do the right thing it is
counted as if they themselves
are involved in that mitzvah and
therefore we close as we started
this marvelous organization hazak
that teaches others torah so many facets
it's a conglomerate what they do is just
unbelievable
so many things that they're involved in
with one goal in mind
to spread torah worldwide
and to increase awareness to empower
others to love ribena
walking in the path of hashem
we say every single day
hashem has mercy upon all his
creatures we are commanded to walk in
hashem's way
in fact the eighth positive mitzvah that
counts in his
count of 613 meters is
walk in hashem's ways emulate him
he has mercy upon all these creatures we
should feel
the same we should do the same and
therefore if one supports
hazak give hazak.com
and if one supports chickens for shabbos
chickens for shabbos dot com
he is involved and gets all those merits
and he means hashem our lot should be
with them
you
