Important BH Update For Pesach

we have a lot of uh widows uh orphans divorces people that are simply struggling uh contacting us uh people that we know that have been on the list since we had the event last year and we're trying to do the best that we possibly can uh to to help as many as we can we have a whole list you know some people are trying to contact us even now uh that we don't know them we really uh feel bad but we can't help everybody uh but uh there's the stories are horrible and and I'll start off with uh with this uh today I uh anyone that looks at the campaign right now goes to VH p.org will see we haven't really raised much money but here you'll see a receipt for wire transfer for a little over $85,000 that uh you know that I sent this uh this morning and uh more will be sent uh in so many words we're following what the Tora says who did me a favor first and I will pay him as we do every year uh it's a sometimes hem pays back right away sometimes he takes his time but needless to say if you do what uh you know what what hasem wants you to do for his children you're never going to lose even though it's a lot of pressure it's a lot of stress it's a lot of moving Parts but it's certainly something that's necessary and especially when you hear the stories and some of these people we need to help them on a monthly basis and even on a weekly basis and one of the stories that came to us is a woman that uh and his wife know for many years she's actually the kids go to school together the older kids uh older I mean 12 years old uh and um last year we helped him we gave them a I believe it was a thousand shekels and this year they uh she called and asked if if we're going to be able to help we said we have this program for the sh but she's uh you know her her husband left her because she did with the kids and uh he doesn't want to do chuba he wants to uh you know remain a uh an animal in so many words and uh he ended up leaving her and uh he's leaving her with AB he left her with nothing and this was already the last couple years but we never really knew how bad the situation was until this uh last week when she told us uh that uh even to forget about the holiday uh you know having money for the you know to buy matah to buy wine to buy you know chicken meat anything for the holiday forget just about that we're talking about uh to feed the kids in the morning breakfast she doesn't have uh so when you hear stories like this you know it's not stories fairy tales that people you know sometimes they text message me uh listen Rabbi can you help me out I'm struggling you know and then you know you hear some details yeah listen you know I paid my rent I have food and everything I just I really need to get this new suit I need to get this new suit so I was wondering if you could send me a couple hundred dollars that's unfortunately struggling in the American uh deformed mind when I say struggling to you guys I'm talking about food I'm talk about the very basic needs of life and when a person tells me that she's a uh divorced mother that uh has uh you know I believe three or four kids and she doesn't have food to feed the kids in the morning a couple hundred not going the hook we have to obviously try to do whatever we can on a monthly basis and this is some of the things that we've done over the years with different families some people have uh you know somebody very sick in the family so they need some money for that some people have uh just different types of troubles uh you know financial troubles uh you know medical problems all types of things and what ends up happening is that during this time of the year the stories somehow all pile up all at the same time all the new stories we know all the old stories but there's always new stories that join and uh aside from asking you guys to try to be generous and as generous as you possibly can uh to help us with this campaign because as you see I mean again we we already out $100,000 uh between the two campaigns we a couple hundred thousand in and we haven't even you know uh raised a quarter of it uh so aside from being generous uh in the campaign uh and if we raise more than that if you guys you know uh decide to be the messengers of hasem to help us then certainly we're going to be able to help even more whatever you guys sent to us we're going to use for people we're not not paying my rent with it I'm not uh uh you know buying any uh any uh uh any Ferraris with it all the money that we get to my knowledge we're the only organization that actually gives all of the money and more to the actual people uh you know that we actually raise every year we always end up giving a lot more money than what we end up raising and provides for us in different ways throughout the year but this time we're uh we're in a situation where um I'm asking if any of you guys are also interested in taking on a family uh taking on a family and uh you know we have I would say uh a good number of families uh that uh need help on a monthly basis and uh you know we don't want to obviously embarrass anybody and uh you know make things complic so we send the money to them anyway but anybody wants to take on a family that uh you could go it's anywhere from you know $500 a month to uh a couple thousand a month depending on the uh on the need it's not necessarily always dependent on the size of the family uh because sometimes the older kids are able to work or or or or whatever but sometimes just simply you know there's some families need more than others medical issues and things like that so if any of you have have the means and are interested in actually uh going into this aside from the PES uh you're interested in doing something on a monthly basis just specifically for this cause we don't have it on the website I don't have time to make all these campaigns if you guys are interested in it you could uh simply sign up on the website to a monthly contribution you could send me a quick text message uh to let me know this is what it's for and certainly uh uh we'll be happy to uh use that help because again these stories are real these are not fairy tales these are not you know the commercial they used to see as a kid where there was little African boy that uh is in the commercial and the Fly always lands on his head and uh 30 years he's still a little boy it's still the same exact boy you know the boy is probably already 70 years old already but they still use the same commercial to this day uh you know these are not fake stories these are real stories these are stories that we know firsthand we know these people and one of the one of the things that makes it uh uh even more personal is the fact that these are T Scholars these ious people that dedicate their life to to and when the heretic came to and asked them if God loves the the Torah scholar so much he loves the righteous so much why does he make them poor many times you know not all Scholars are rich like Raba was and was very rich and was very rich so there were many that were rich but you know there were many that were very poor so this heretic was okayy look look this is very poor uh you know why is he poor why is that one poor why if they're so righteous so says hasem specifically chooses those people to be poor these Scholars to be poor in order to save the rest of us from G why because he's hm is giving us an opportunity to help a Torah scholar help somebody get you know bring bring more light to the world in order to rectify our own issues our own our own lackings lack of study lack of commitment to the Tora lack of commitment to lack of commitment to hasm altogether so when we fund this we we certainly bring more light to the world SOA says this is to help us get out of G uh and this is a this is not a again uh something that we're making up Everything is verifiable Everything is sourced everything is clear and uh one of the things that um you see in the world today is is that everything is more upside down than ever before where the Israeli government is doing everything possible to declare an open war against the tah where they literally want the religious people to know that they're hated uh so much so that uh they're willing to do anything in their power to not help anyone that is even a sh Shabbat a basic religious person they're willing to you know if there's Government funding for anything you know to whether it's to help children or to uh to help the parents or to help health issues or or anything that there's always funding for that if you are a uh secular person funding for that they they give you money uh if you're going to some type of drama school you're going to be an actor you're going to be a singer you're going to be a some type of theater there's tons of money for that billions of dollars uh if there is a uh some type of uh um terrorist you know that uh that hasn't really uh committed terrorism yet but he certainly a criminal and no problem there's help for that if he's Arab oh there's a ton of money for him ton of money for him but if you are a religious Torah scholar okay what we can do is 50 shekels a month 50 shekels a month per child so what do you have you have the uh uh 10 kids all right we'll send you 500 what's 50000 checkel is about $140 $150 now just so you know anyone that went to Israel you $140 not going to get you too far it's not going to get you too far you're not you know with maybe maybe you'll be able to get the diapers maybe uh for the month you're not going to get far you're not going to pay rent with 500 checkel you know you're not going to pay anything of significance but that's what the government does now of course the the at the same time the government uh and the Lefty liberals will make people think that uh the religious people are the ones that are sucking the government drive all their money reality is the opposite the religious people pay more in taxes and contribute more to the Israeli economy than anyone else needless to say they actually get less than anybody else uh you know the terrorists that actually throw missiles at us and bomb the buses get more money than the uh uh the uh you know the scholars but again this is an upside down world it's an upside down world and this upside down World helps us explain AAR that in uh in page n that uh says in the name of that someone that gives in hiding where he doesn't know who he's giving it to and the receiver doesn't know where he's receiving the money from is greater than m i mean this is this is not just a great act saying it's greater than mosu so of course the uh first and foremost we have to understand that the act of of giving is is shows that you're not looking for any type of Honor shows that you're not looking for any type of credit You're simply looking to do the will of a and to help people and when we're doing these types of campaigns when we're giving it to all these people this is exactly what you're doing this is the highest level of simply because you don't know the person that you're get you're giving it to and they don't know you you know you have us as the middleman so this is literally the highest level of and the uh says this is something raises a person to higher than M now of course you know some people say oh wait so I could just be higher than mosu with 500 bucks a month okay you know what I'll give a thousand I'll be higher than God like the Heretics think no so the son of uh you know wrote a over the last couple of years on the t uh and it's a he brings this specific and he says someone that's a fool will read this and actually think that just from a you know a single act of staka they could uh become bigger than you know the greatest person that ever lived so what could such a thing mean at the same token we know that the sages didn't say things for no reason so what does it mean what it means is is that at the time ofu there was no hiding from hasem meaning if a person was wicked he died went against he died in a scene that was so Monumental so public that we know about it until this day the entire ground opened and him and all of his followers were swallowed and a still being burn and G the in that in that whole party also the the the people that that said their tongues came out of their mouth and connected to their uh um belly buttons and the uh uh bugs were going up and down their tongues until they died a strange death the blasphemer got uh you know got worst possible death penalty got a death penalty at the same token when did good when followed hasem showed him things that are beyond our comprehension even a simple woman was was able to became a was able to see the sound see the sound and see the voice of God see things that we can we cannot even imagine even if we have a creative might they had man come from sh so they had all of the blessings in the world no one needed to work no one needed to bathe no one needed to go to the bathroom even literally everything that they needed to do is just simply live and and just learn to they were traveling on on clouds even their feet would not get tired because of how hasem structured the world for them for 40 years we were like this and some say that you know it was literally like part of their free choice was taken from them in such a case because it was so obvious that God is running the world that it wasn't such a big deal to help your fellow Jew so that's what the means here says that if somebody gave at the time of mosenu if mosenu himself helped some you know person it wasn't really such a big deal why because God Is Watching you're not exactly uh doing anything that uh is so hard to do when you know that God is watching he's there I mean literally like seeing God at the same token says the G everyone was pretty much well off there was men coming down from sh there was never any like horrendous cases where I I don't have food to feed the kids really the type of Saka that people would give each other at that time was really they wanted to befriend each other and spoil each other so it give them above and beyond what the average person had so they would get fruits from from some of the uh people the green that were uh selling it you know as they were traveling in the desert they were uh you know they were buying from them they buy fruits from them but here we see that someone that gave the time of okay you did it's nice but it's it's not such a big deal when is right there next to you on the other hand says the before mashia comes there's going to be AEM hiding his face and world is going to be upside down and the Wicked the evil the Liars the thieves the Heretics the idol worshippers the haters of am it's Tora the atheists it looks like they're winning that's what it's going to look like in the world it looks like they're the ones that are successful it looks like it looks like it's not true but it looks like they're the ones that are powerful they're the ones that are on the winning path so to help to help publicize the to at that time to help a poor Jew that dedicates his life to the T at that time that is going to elevate a person to the 50th level of Kusa a level that evenu could not rise to he got to the 49th level because the the 50th level is something that you can only get through through this so here we have an opportunity in our generation to do something that was not possible 3,300 years ago but yet at the same token because the yet is fighting so hard the average person will hear this be motivated and then the yet will show up in order to cool them off and that's why I say to you guys you have to think about eternity not just think about this week or this month you have to try to do whatever you can to make commitments longer term commitments understand what's on the line because at the end of it all this is one of the things that a person is going to cry for not having not having a part of so with that being said we have the campaign bh.org anyone that wants to contribute please do anyone that wants to do aside from that wants to also help us with some of these really difficult cases we have literally dozens and dozens of families that some we help from time to time some we help regularly and some we help uh you know whenever it's possible uh if you're interested in taking on a family and how much you want to do this that would be fantastic but regardless of all of that it always understand that these types of things uh you know these are responsibilities and I know that a lot of people like to help people and many times they believe that they're helping people and uh sometimes uh I I wonder whether uh whether people realize who and what they're helping so in this case b we know who we're [Music] [Applause] [Music] helping [Music] e for [Music]
