hello how are you hope you doing well
we're back here from Israel we're back
in the US on one end it's uh great to be
back here so we could do a lot more work
a lot more kiru in the US and many other
trips we have planned on another end
it's a little painful to leave KES the
Holy Land you know the um uhal says
what's the significance of of and the
Jews you when they ask the question why
did ham for example want to destroy
every single Jew why did he want to
destroy the nation of Israel because
Haman was from the nation of Amal and
just like the Throne of Glory is missing
a leg the Throne of Glory is missing a
leg so long as there's a single Jew
that's missing a single Jew that's not
connected to Hashem a single Jew that's
not saying every day single Jew that's
not doing keeping Shabbat in the world
the Throne of Glory is missing a leg but
so is the Throne of the Satan also
missing a leg so long as there's even a
single Jew left in the world so when we
go to when we went to is we we did many
many lectures over there in Nat in
jerus
shees uh some we recorded some were
during the holiday or Shabbat so we
couldn't record them but we saw a lot of
amazing things in Israel there's a lot
of work to be done over there but also a
lot of people are yearning for the truth
and I think that one of the reasons why
Hashem gives us this this feeling when
you leave the the
thees is because in order for you to
deserve to be in Israel you have to
yearn for it and just like in the Torah
it says that uh you know when when
people make sins the land vomits them uh
at the same token if we ever want the
mashia to come if we ever want to have
an Aliyah if we ever want to be truly
connected to the Holiness of the land we
have to yearn for it so in order to
yearn for it you have to know what
you're missing so when you go there you
have a lot of opportunities to
seek but this also brings us to the
Daily of what we need to learn from all
of this what is the what is the common
problem that we see everywhere in the US
and in Israel and everywhere in the
world is a common issue that people have
a constant problem with parasa and the
problem is not necessarily the parasa
itself the the making financial means
themselves but it's an understanding of
how Hashem runs the
world when we got to the yamu the Sea of
reeds the nation was very scared as
we've mentioned in previous
lectures didn't know what to do some
wanted to fight the Egyptians when the
Egyptians followed us and wanted to
attack us some wanted to go back to
being slaves and some some wanted to
just go into the sea and drown and just
kill themselves they just didn't know
what to do and
in when
mosenu prays to
hasem begging him please help
us it says in uh Exodus 14 verse
15 said to Moes why do you cry out to me
why do you scream to me speak to the
children of Israel and let them Journey
forth now if you just read the basic
understanding which some people try to
do this on their own they just try to
understand the basic literal meaning of
the
toah this means absolutely nothing what
do you mean go into the sea and just
drown what do you mean move forward what
do you mean Journey
forth we didn't know that Hashem is
going to make a miracle he didn't tell
us he didn't tell us he's going to split
the sea he didn't tell us he's going to
do something completely unnatural so
what do you mean Journey forth how do
you expect us to know this hashm does
not give us a test that we can't pass
and we can't even know that we have a
chance of passing it unless we have even
a small concept of what's Happening
Here so what hasem is telling mosenu
here is that at this
point all of the the
few has have been used up I made all of
the Miracles for you in MIT in Egypt I
brought the plagues I destroyed the
largest civilization in history I freed
you from being slaves but at this point
you are at yam and the MRE the angel of
Egypt came to me and told me listen why
would you open up split the sea for them
and drown my people yes I know the
Egyptians are Idol worshippers but so
were the uh Jews not too long ago they
were also worshiping Idols their Idol
worshippers and their Idol worshippers
and since your Torah is full of truth
how could you uh split for one and kill
the
other and this is exactly what hasem was
telling mosenu he says unfortunately at
this point I don't have enough of a
reason I don't have enough of a reason
to help
you so when the first time mosenu tried
to split the ocean he couldn't do it and
he screamed to Hashem to help us and
Hashem says what do you scream to me
Journey forth what does it mean mean by
Journey forth do something to give me a
reason do something to show me that you
have faith because if you do it then you
could just reverse into one of my
personal favorite or my personal
favorite verse in this particular par
and perhaps even in the entire Tor it's
Exodus
14:14 just the previous
verse this is Moses is saying to the
nation of Israel Hashem shall make war
for you and you shall remain
silent when you truly believe in Hashem
when you truly believe that Hashem is
running the world and everything is
under his control you have nothing to
worry about Hashem will fight your
battles for you why because it's enough
of a reason that you believe in him for
him to do it and this is exactly what
hem is telling am is and he's telling
mosenu show me youra saying you believe
in me means nothing kissing the muuza 87
times a day means
nothing show me you believe in me and
this someone really takes this into
perspective and applies this to their
life it could help them with p and with
everything in life why because if you
truly understand how Hashem runs the
world you'd understand that every single
person in the world gets exactly what
they deserve as uh Rabbi Shalom AR says
in his book uh um he says that no person
is ever getting any type of punishment
unless there's a sin and no person is
going to get a
reward without having a reason for it
without having a mitzva this is in GH
the garden
ofuna that's a very very good book I
recommend for everyone to read because
he speaks the truth and exactly how it's
you know using sources from the to
itself self it will give a person an
understanding of how hasem runs the
world so much so that if a person truly
gets to amuna he understands that no
person in the world can ever suffer
anything without them truly deserving it
and no person can ever be rewarded
anything without giving hasem a reason
for it for example in an extreme case if
Shalom someone in the world got a uh
decree of death
penalty they got a decree of death
penalty they did they made some type of
major sin and they ran out of MIT to to
use up that they gave was just enough to
buy them enough time until now and the M
gets to shamim and says to Hashem listen
your Torah says death
penalty now Hashem reviews the all
entire world of that person
instantaneously and he sees who are the
people that will be affected by this
person which person is going to hear
this bad news and how is it going to
affect him if that person that deserves
this death penalty has even one friend
or one person in their life that would
be truly affected by it and doesn't
deserve it why because he's righteous or
she's righteous and doesn't deserve to
get this bad news Hashem could literally
save this person's life just for that
person not even for the person that
deserves the punishment not even for his
own family members not even for his
friends but just for maybe some class
member that he had 30 years ago that
became
a uh you know a a big sadic so number
one this teaches us that it's good to
have righteous friends but number two it
also teaches us something much more
significant it's worthwhile to be
righteous ourself because when we're
righteous ourself we're giving Hashem a
reason to give us good things if you
deserve to be poor you'll be poor if you
deserve to be rich you'll be rich if you
deserve to have a happy life happy wife
happy husband happy kids you deserve it
you'll get it but if not then this means
that you're doing something wrong it's
not hashem's mistakes never hashem's
mistakes and this is exactly what we
learned from this entire situation here
in is that yes we deserve to leave Egypt
but to survive it we had to show AEM a
reason and how do we show
it went into the sea with fulla that
Hashem will save him
he showed Hashem that he believed that
he didn't bring them all the way here
just to kill us so he said I'm going to
go into the ocean he said move forth I'm
going to take it literally I'm going to
take him at his word and I'm going to
move forth and he went into the ocean
all the way up to the point where his
nose was
covered this also reminds me of a story
of someone came to
schl and he
says you know your uh highness of I
wanted to give you a uh very uh big
present and he gives him all these
diamonds and and wonderful
things was grateful As Time passed the
time came to exchange gifts and SCH gave
him a very simple
ring a simple ring that says this Sho
this too shall pass this too shall pass
so the uh person says you know with all
doe respect your highness I mean I gave
you diamonds and gold and all types of
wonderful things and all I get is this
ring what's uh what's the meaning of
this he says to
him this ring is much more valuable than
what you gave me because this is a life
lesson that if you apply it to yourself
you'll realize that everything will
pass if you look at the ring every time
you remember when there is a problem
with for example at the house is an
argument instead of shouting back
instead of screaming back you look at
the string and you remember this to
shall pass this this tension will pass
if there's financial hardship if there's
difficulties paying the bills remember
look at the ring this too shall pass if
there's any issues in the
world they will all
pass but why will they pass we get back
to our verse
God will fight your Wars and you will
sit silent if you have the full it will
pass and it will pass and you'll learn a
lesson from it that's priceless you'll
grow with it because that's exactly
whyem gives us all these different uh T
all these different problems that we
have in life it's to build us a diamond
is not made in an instant the diamond is
made from much much pressure throughout
many years there's a lot of pressure
pressure in the earth and eventually a
diamond is formed any successful person
in history regardless of whether it was
in religion or in any other type of
intellect or any other type of
profession had to go through much
hardship you cannot become a CEO by
simply walking into a job and saying I
want to become a CEO you have to go up
the ladder so if anyone realizes that
difficulties are here to build us and
the ones that we don't necessarily
understand as long as we have aai hasem
this too shall pass but if we don't have
D hasem then all hasem is going to tell
us back is why are you screaming to me
Journey
forth
so this will teach us how to apply oura
and not just say we have and reach the
highest level of connection with AEM and
understand that everything we have
including the pain is always for the the
good thank you for learning with me and
may hasem continue to bless all of you
