we are uh here at uh on Sunday night where we typically have the uh series that we started about a month ago or so but uh because of everything that's happening uh in the world in the news uh that is certainly taking up the uh minds of people off of tah and into a lot of different places all types of threatening news uh we have to obviously discuss the matters at hand just like we did when we were in is last year uh when this whole October 7th uh took place uh so uh uh tonight sh is going to be for the of aavid uhan Leana SAR Sarah Sarah um Naomi Batar and also big mazov to Aon and Sarah uh for their brand new baby bem uh so with that being said uh just to give you guys a little bit of a reminder uh we have the kiru store for you guys to order from to distribute in your community and perhaps after tonight some of you are going to get a little bit more excitement to uh do some more kiru in your communities there's a few of you that are continuously ordering but I'd like to see some new faces we also have uh received uh the new by R these are specifically for K and yes so only if you are uh from a or Yesa uh you could make a special request for these two this is the fifth part of it's a respon it's not for the average this is for people that are that people that know and know how to learn uh this type of material and this is even for higher level this is specifically for aim uh and very established uh because this is cabala this the first cabala book that uh or issues with cabala that uh frim has uh published uh but uh this is uh something that's only on a special request uh can you uh get these specific uh books the rest obviously are for the rest of am is the uh uh the book that's uh bashem has reached tens of thousands of people already uh which is both in English and in Hebrew uh you could order these you get a box of these uh to distribute in your Jewish community in uh in the US in Canada uh but of course uh if you want to get it in different countries you could just help us out by uh donating the money for the shipping and of course all of you that are you know receiving books uh and distributing if you're also able to donate that would be fantastic because these each package cost a few hundred and you could simply do the math that uh if you're ordering four five six boxes your average order is costing us somewhere around ,000 to $2,000 so if you could help us that would be fantastic last but not least for those of you that uh took me up on my offer last week which is still standing anyone that subscribes as a paid subscriber to YouTube will get one of these free tumblers I think they're called uh and uh that a few of you have already done it and sent me the uh email uh to uh confirm that you became a paid subscriber and you got yourself a free Tumblr or I like to call them cup teacup anyway uh this is uh the um extent of the updates there's a lot to discuss tonight so we're going to keep it at that uh with everything that's going on in the world today uh you have obviously threatening news uh that are literally everywhere uh where uh every News Network every type of media every tweet everything has been pretty much swamping the Jewish world over the last 48 72 hours or so about the uh threat from Iran uh from uh the enemy that they are going to not only attack Israel uh but they're planning on attacking Israel on uh tab on the nth of a uh because according to their calculation and limited knowledge of Judaism that they hate uh they have uh confirmed that this is a bad day for Israel now of course Iran is not Kamas uh and anyone that treats them the same uh in that regards is simply misinformed Kamas is just a bunch of gangsters and flip-flops that decided to allow them to punish his children uh on October 7th and pretty much for the last several years uh we've seen it uh becoming worse and worse just today uh they uh murdered four people in Israel a uh aasik that uh also likes to call himself a Palestinian uh was just permitted to enter the the country 3 days ago was just given permission as a you know as as a resident of Israel 3 days ago 3 days ago they allowed him in through the borders go live in Israel go get a job go build a family go do good things what does he do three days after he's allowed entrance into Israel he murders four people M murders four Jews uh and of course it's beyond me why they would even allow anyone in into the country uh that's coming from that part of the of the Border but needless to say this is a upside down world that I've seen this is what the gar says it's an upside down world and uh you see that what's happening uh in this war is getting worse and worse where the biggest enemy of the war is uh has been discovered and it is within us it's within us it's within our own people the uh the um Jewish Court not Jewish Court the uh uh the Israeli court that is against Judaism that is against the Torah the Israeli court that is uh not only uh trying to uh prosecute Torah Scholars and force them into the army to leave the books to leave their family to leave everything and go into the army if that wasn't enough if you were religious you get fined you get persecuted if that wasn't enough now they're actually Prosecuting against the soldiers the very same soldiers religious and not religious that were protecting the people people that were fighting the war that were sacrificing their life now they're putting them in jail they're Prosecuting against them for what for being too aggressive or allegedly being too aggressive with the terrorist with the very same terrorist that raped and killed and murdered and did all the horrible things on October 7th and since since they have not found any evidence of this these claims who are now the witnesses the terrorists themselves they're taking testimony from the terrorist and the terrorist's friends to testify against the Jewish soldiers so this is obviously upside down is not the word but we see that the situation is getting worse and worse when you go against the torat everything else falls apart even the little bit of Merit that uh some people that live in Israel had uh even if they were secular by paying their taxes they were able to technically help a little bit microcosm 1% quarter of a 1% of the money that were paying in taxes would help the Torah world because a little bit of money would go into the Torah world that has been cancelled that Merit is gone and if that wasn't enough of course we have [Music] the Iranians pretty much promising that they're going to go to war against Israel in just the uh uh next week or so some say in the next 24 48 Hours either way they're making a promise they are bold about it they're not scared about it they're not trying to do a surprise attack they're literally calling their shots they're telling you where they're going to go because they care less uh and completely disrespect any type of defense that Israel has even when they sent they they they shot the 300 missiles against against Israel they told them ahead of time they're shooting the missiles That's how little they think of Israel and their Defense Force and of course that was just 300 missiles we're talking about thousands and thousands of missiles that these have in their Arsenal before who destroys them now with all of that being said Iran is not Kamas and a outright war with Iran is not the same thing and that is the reason why many people many Jews around the world even the ones that don't live in Israel are petrified of the situation because we know that this affects us not just in Israel it affects us worldwide we see how the war with the gangsters of Hamas has affected the image of Israel over the last nine months instead of the world agreeing with us seeing that we are the victims we were attacked we were the ones that were butchered we are now turning into obviously we've turned into the the enemy of the world everyone is openly declaring their hatred of Israel and that's not necessarily going to stop with Iran things are probably going to get worse so what is a person going to do when the whole world is against us the situation looks as dire as can be it looks as dark as the night and what what is a PE what are people doing they're watching the news they're watching the news they're reading the news they're spending an enormous amount of time looking at what's happening because if you tell him watch a if you tell him read a seph t if you tell them pray they may or may not do it but their mind is still going to be stuck to the news now I'm sure some of you have a lot more news about what's going on in the world than I do I don't watch the news the little bit I know is the little is all I know about the situation and that's already more than enough the reality is is that we have seen this before and tonight we will go through the battle plan we'll go through what happened and what will happen [Music] the page 26b and also in the 551 the first says that when the month of a begins we lower the Sim we lower the S we have to lower the amount of Joy this does not mean that a person has to become depressed for some people they want to be depressed all year round so this may be a a holiday for them but of course the person that's serving a is supposed to be happy I'm not saying happy like the fools are happy in the streets dancing and uh doing all types of silly things talking about the person has to be internally happy content with whatever they have whatever situation they have connected with feeling joy and gladness that they are prived to uh privileged enough to actually have the ability to serve properly to say every single day to pray to learn T person has a lot of reasons to be happy even if they are in Dire Straits on a lot of other things in their life if they're truly connected to a and in fact the uh Tora says inph which we'll get to in about a month in chapter 28 verse 47h says that when betrays him when is goes off the worships idols when conducts business against the T and does all types of things that forsakes when instead of marching with gladness for the Torah they march with gladness for punishes and in fact Inu elaborates on the punishment the different reasons for the punishment ment and one of the reasons one of the biggest reasons says that hem punishes us is as the verse says in chapter 28 verse 47 because you did not serve AEM your God Amid gladness and goodness of heart when everything was abundant when everything was abundant over the last 10 20 30 years and the Jewish world was flourishing in Europe in America in Israel many people became more religious but unfortunately not everybody practiced their religiousness the same some people practice their religiousness through drinking and going to all types of parties some people practice their religiousness by learning tat some people understand that learning is what religiousness is all about and not just partying and going to parties every day and some people are fooled and thinking that no listen as long as I'm happy and I'm drunk that that means I'm happy no to be happy is not a momentary feeling it's a it's it's it's simply a status of where you are with or without any stimuli but most importantly a person has to be happy serving a when you're doing when you're giving even though that means you're going to have less money than you did a moment ago you're supposed to be happy as a result of having the privilege and the ability to give takaka when you're not able to work because it's Shabbat or it's a holiday you're supposed to be happy that you actually are one of the few chosen people on planet Earth that is forbidden from working because of Shabbat or because of a holiday when they're forbidden from having any type of relationship with certain types of people of the opposite gender same gender her for work or for personal and so on because specifically they're Jewish you're supposed to be happy that you're not allowed to go out with her on a date because she's not Jewish or you're not allowed to go out with him on a date because he's not Jewish you should be happy about that especially since you see so much abundance you have the privilege of walking around freely nobody's persecuting you normally you have money in your pocket you have a job you have food family that loves you more or less everything is is great and says and even then even when I made everything abundant some even had abundance of abundance where they literally became multi-millionaires but yet when it came to serving with when it came to fulfilling the mitvah of for the sake of Tor or when it came to the mitvah of feeding the poor what it came for the mitvah of praying to or doing any of the other says one of the reasons why he punished us and punishes us is because we did not serve him with gladness and goodness of heart so of course a person has to take this to heart because this is certainly not just something that happened it's something that's happening and it's certainly part of the solution now the in Mak has story story that I'm sure all of you have heard story that is supposed to give us a certain type of perspective we have to understand why the page 24b brings us a story of after the destruction of the second bet mikdash the destruction of the bet mikdash the first one was because of idol worship murder immorality second mikdash there's different opinions across thear of course the famous one is that there was baseless hatred but of course thear in different places mentions that there was also because ofat it was also because of idolatry it was also because of a number of other reasons in so many words it's because people were sinning and there was nobody to rebuke them and therefore everything happened and that's the baseless hatred which was in essence you're hating Somebody by not rebuking them but after the destruction of the bet mikdash the says that there was once a time where RAB yosua and RAB AKA traveling on the road and they reached the place where the BET mikdash used to stand they reached Mount of sim the closest place you can get to and see the city of Y and its destruction and the rent their garments and when they came to the Temple Mount they saw that there was a fox coming out of The KES kashim the holy of holies and the started to cry but smiled and they said to him why are you smiling he said why are you weeping meaning just as as baffled as they were about him smiling he was baffled that they're crying and he said to him a place where it's written in the T that someone that's a nonen that would approach it would get a death penalty that's how holy it was now that's foxes prowling over it should we not weep this is such a holy place that someone that's not a Coen was not even allowed to be here now there's animals here we shouldn't cry look how they disagree in the BET mikdash another time they cried about the fact that they heard all the evil Romans celebrating shouldn't we cry about all this what happened to our to our house of Goda says to them for this very reason I'm smiling for this very reason smiling explain yourself he says it's written by the prophet Isaiah 8:2 where the Prophet says in the name of Hashem that I will summon trustworthy Witnesses for myself and Z these are two Prophets The Prophet urya and the prophet Zakaria famous Zakaria that everybody knows now I ask what's the connection between these two prophets IAH lived at the time of the first bet mikdash that's when he gave the prophecies Zakaria prophecied during the second bet mikdash why they mentioned together in the same in the same place by by hasem rather is mentioning these two prophets because the prophecy of zakara depends on the prophecy of urah where in the prophecy of urah which is mentioned in the book of Kings 2 chapter 15 and 16 it says therefore Because of You Zion will be plowed over like the field meaning yush will become heaps of rubble and the Temple Mount will become like Stone heaps in the forest in so many words aosh is telling the prophet that he's going to destroy the bet mikdash this is what this is what Uya told the people in the prophecy of zakara on the other hand in chapter 8 verse4 it's written old men and old women will once again sit in the streets of yush good news one day this place that's a disaster that was destroyed old Jewish men and women are going to sit here comfortably the kids are going to play all types of wonderful things will be and therefore R AKA concludes and says as long as the prophecy of UAH has not been fulfilled I feared that the prophecy of zakaya would not be fulfilled meaning that initially RAB AKA thought that both prophecies have to do with the first bet mikash that it will be destroyed and eventually the second mdash will be built but now that I see that the prophecy of has been fulfilled that J and the BET mikdash are totally desolate then it's certain that the prophecy of Zakaria will be fulfilled meaning that the prophecy of zaka was not talking about the second bet mikdash it's talking about the third bet mikdash that will bring to the world that will stand forever and says say to you have comforted us AKA you have comforted us they accepted his words this is the truth so from here we see destruction had to have come before the good now for people destruction is never something they want to hear everyone would like to believe that as soon as the enemy comes the mssiah will come destroy the enemy and that's said everybody can go back to their business go back to ordering some things on Amazon get a few things from eBay perhaps they don't have to pay any inflated gas prices in Israel and anymore perhaps no more taxes you know they could just go back to their life go back to having coffees with the friends distribute some pamphlets here and there to do some good maybe make some kala together everybody wants to go back to the regular life but what can we do that the prophets do say that there will be destruction massive destruction the war of goou Magog 2third of the population of the world will be destroyed in the last third will be tested like gold is purified from all of the foreign Metals meaning that even the last third will have to endure some very serious suffering and big tests so we know teach that a has to have a war of goou Magog in order to glorify and sanctify his name in front of all of the generations that ever lived where he reincarnates The Souls of all of the most wicked people that ever lived in the last generation theet the par the Yos the muhammads the all of the most wicked people are going to be put in their souls going to be put into the leaders of the last generation it's going be a massive horrendous war is that war now we don't know is it coming for sure why does hasem have to do this in order to glorify his name this must be but whether that is now or not whether we survive or not whether we're able to thrive or not depends on whether we understand the rest of what we're going to talk about tonight you see R AKA was the talmid of Ros was the talmid of rhua Ben gamla he wasn't their Senor so of course and ran gel was n so how is it that Raba knew this but yet the other did not of course they're his rabbis this is a question that a person has to ask why was Raba privy to have this information and as rabbis did not have it how do he know this raim explains it's all because of where R AKA came from page 49 says that Raba before he became RAB AKA was anit ignor of Tor was also an orphan from both of his parents who I told you the story about years ago grew up both of his parents died wasn't learning toah anymore wasn't learning anything good but he saw that the Torah Scholars had a special privilege people treated them in a good way they gave them water they gave and him he had to work for it nobody was helping him and that led him to hate the Torah Scholars so much so that he became anti Torah AKA was anti Tor so much so that the says that says about himself he hated Torah scholar so much he wanted to bite them like a donkey and hisim of Nowa asking Raba you mean like a dog he goes no no like a donkey I want to bite them a dog when he bites he just bites the flesh a donkey crushes the bone that's how much I hated Torah Scholars he hated Torah Scholars until he started learning to and he did chuva and he became the teacher of the most amount of Scholars in history 24,000 students aside from mosenu nobody had that many students therefore R AKA he knew he knew much more than others because he himself came from the gutter he himself came from the dust he himself came from the worst possible place in the world if you had somebody analyze the generation and say who here is going to be a Torah scholar people will point at somebody that grew up from somebody that grew up with a maybe a father that was a a rabbi or even just somebody that came from a religious family and you know what even a few people that were CH but overall even before they did chv they had respect for the Tor The Last Choice anybody would ever have would be this Little Orphan AKA boy that hated Torah Scholars so much so he wanted to kill them that's the last choice anyone had and yet that's who became the biggest in the world so much so that says Thea because he was a b CH merited entering the 50th level of K which is a place that even mosenu did not reach because this is a place only B can get to that's the reason why the and several other places says that place that a b reaches stands even people that have always been righteous cannot get to why there's a special place that only can reach but that's of course not every B but that saw how he himself came from the gutter came from zero negative not even zero and yet he through the toil of learning tah and a sacrifice for the tah can Rise From the Ashes to something so extraordinary to be the biggest Rabbi in the world he says I see I see the hand of hm here in order for the third bet mikdash to come in order for the glory of to truly be all over the world to be magnified to the highest extent there must be a destruction and through the destruction I see the future Glory will come through that destruction Iran plans to attack on T The Ninth of Av why because they concluded that this is a bad day for the Jewish people all started with the of theim the sin of the spies that mosu sent due to the pleadings of the nation they wanted to send spies to the land they didn't trust hem was going to give them a land of milk and honey so they went and they out of the 12 Spies that went 10 of them came back with bad reports the twoim that gave good reports were Yeshua and but the 10 spies said L about the land they said it's a good land but it eats its people why because they saw that Giants were being buried said if Giants are being buried then how are we going going to survive little do they know that hasem made a miracle that a bunch of giants had to die in order for them not to pay attention to the spies and kill them instead of seeing the blessing the miracle that Hashem was doing to protect them they saw the bad why because in reality they were already going there looking for bad because they knew that they had very powerful positions in Egypt and in the desert and if everybody goes to the land of Israel they're going to lose their job they're not going to be as as powerful anymore so they wanted everyone to stay in a desert perhaps even go back to Egypt so they said about the land if that wasn't enough they said about Hashem himself that he's not powerful enough to kill the Giants and of course punished them severely they all died a strange death their tongue came out of their mouth and connected to their umbilical core to their uh um belly button while maggots and all types of horrible bugs killed them in the most awful horrific way possible and the people that cried for no reason as a result of this bad news were punished to stay in a desert and die in a desert over the next 40 years andh says that because you believe this false report this about me about the land that I'm giving you as a gift this will be a day that I will designate as a day that anything that bad that will happen to the people this is the day that will happen on the nth of a and this is the day where the first bet mikdash was destroyed the second bet mikdash was destroyed the Spanish Inquisition happened and many of the horrors of am is happened specifically on this day so Iran said okay so here you go this is the day that they have as a bad day we'll use that dayim says this is good news while all of you are scared right now and perhaps the fakers as theim teach there's going to be a lot of fake people that abandon Israel at their time of need at their time of troubles fake converts fake Jews fake a lot of fake people Gonna Leave why they're gonna think oh they're losing lost hope let's just go back let's go to the other side so for all the fakers you can already leave now but for those that are true those that are real this is good news why is this good news because this is not the first Iranian that declared their desire to destroy the Jewish people on a specific day in fact there was another Iranian a few thousand years years ago named ham Haman was from Persia Persia is Iran the page 13B says that ham had the command of the king he can kill am whenever he wanted he bought it from aash who did not care for am Israel either some say even hated the Jews even more than Haman so he was happy to take the money but he said I'll even do it for free let you kill them but ham knew that has t and the mid says that ham said go look at different if they're learning T that's not good we have to figure out when they're not learning T that's when we go attack them where do he learn this from the M says in that am was the wisest man of all of the Gentiles in history and he specifically knew that you could only attack am when they're not learning toah so Haman says okay we have to pick a day and eventually he did a lottery and he arrived on the seventh of Adar why seventh of Adar he said mosenu died on Seventh of Adar their leader their ultimate leader mosenu died on the seventh andar therefore that's the time that I'll annihilate all of them in one day but the fool of the past is the same thing as the fool of the of today Haman only knew the first part just like the idolators today they only know a little bit about the Old Testament they don't realize that the written T is married to the oral Torah when you don't know the oral Torah you don't know anything so ham only knew that mosu died in the seventh but he didn't know that a tells us that mosu was also born on the seventh of it's a good day even though there was a bad thing that happened on it the same thing goes with even though there were major tragedies that happened on the mid and at the beginning talks about how loves us dearly and although bad things happened there was a good thing that happened on what happens on the Mia is born meaning the ultimate salvation and culmination of the world begins on now this very say mid that tells us that the culmination of the world the greatest news that the Jewish people have been waiting for starts with also tells us what is the cure for the situation that we're in what is the cure for the problem that we've endured year after year on this tab how do we benefit eventually for this Messiah this salvation how do we get it how do we get whatav says in Psalm number 37 verse1 15 the sword will pierce their own heart and their bows will be broken says the wicked they want to hurt us but if we do the will of hem he'll even turn their own weapons against them as David says in chapter 37 of Psalms the Wicked Man plots against the righteous person and nashes his teeth at him the Lord laughs at him for he has seen that his day approaches the wicked drew a sword and bent their bows to bring down the poor and the destitute to slaughter those of upright their sword will pierce their own heart and their bows will be broken better is the little the little of the righteous than the great multitude of the wicked so here David tells us what is the Salvation look like the ultimate salvation looks like not just you sitting there comfortably on your couch on your bed on your big chair enjoying reading the news and then one day you see the news oh mashia is here it's like oh yeah H the mashia is here we're going are we going all right let's pack up doesn't work that way is telling us the wicked are all set they're literally salivating at their plan of attack against the righteous they're excited of how many Jews they're going to kill they have a plan of where they're going to attack how they're going to attack what weapons they're going to use different ways they're going to kill without going into the details anyone that has been following the investigations of the terrorists of October 7th knows that they were trained before the attack of October 7th to do all of the horrors they did on October 7th all of the horrors they did they were trained to do all of it and a nothing happened just because they were all trained to do everything they did so the Wicked salivates at the opportunity to hurt the righteous looks forward to it and then D says while he this ham is salivating nashing his teeth excited at how he's going to destroy the righteous that look like they're destitute will show the salvation by literally turning their own weapons against them salvation does not look like you're just sitting comfortably salvation looks like it's the most petrifying time in history that's when the Salvation comes salvation comes when there is no other choice when we have lost hope in everything else in our weapons in our army in our allies in our wisdom in our might when we have come to the realization that there's nothing else but him he's the only one that can help us that's when the Salvation comes that is the only time the Salvation comes so long as we trust in anything else but we're not ready yet and to prove that point let's look at the midash the very same mid that told us about mashia being born on the nth of a the mid says as follows in the name of RAB ABA bahana says who is the wise man who will understand this Who Is He To Whom the mouth of Hashem speaks that he may explain this for what reason did the land perish and become parched like a desert without a passer by but Hashem has said because of their forsaking my Torah this is a prophecy by Jeremiah chapter 9: 11 and 12 where in essence aosh is telling us the real reason of why he destroyed the BET mikash why the worst things in the world happened to USA opens the discourse by saying this is what we're going to discuss what does this verse mean what does this prophecy mean shimai comes and says this is what it means if you see in the land of Israel cities whose inhabitants have been plucked away from their location meaning that the city has been left desolate because either they killed everybody or the people ran away from the enemy know this that the inhabitants of those cities did not support the wages of the teachers of Torah and the teachers of mishna Why did the caused such horor to happen to that City because the people that live there did not want to put money in a box did not want to donate to help people do chat to help people teach to that's why their right to exist was lost when they did not want to use the salvation of hem to publicize toah as it says and he brings a verse of course he doesn't just say this out of out of his uh hat as the as the scripture itself says what reason did the land perish and become parched like a desert without a passer by and Hashem said because of their forsaken of my Torah so we see here that each and every time a person donates to or to any our yes a they're not helping the scholar as much as they're helping themselves and that's why the Tor says the Tree of Life tree of life this is the tadik person that invest into the sadik he's going to be the one that is uh is uh meritorious he's the one that actually benefits the most furthermore the continue discussing this and he said there's a story that happened where RAB R would send r r and Rami to go and help the cities of Israel make sure that they're donating for Tora make that they're learning Torah so he went to help the cities as soon as they would get to the cities they'd make an announcement to the people bring us Thea who's not the of today that go and befriend the Iranians and the enemies of Israel are the Protectors of the city so the towns towns people would bring them the guards Watchmen the police but R would say to them these are the Protectors of the city these are the Destroyers of the city they're not protecting the city these soldiers I said to him what do you mean if that's not the protector of the city the guy that has the sword the guy that has the gun the guy that has the army then who's the protector of the city so this would say the guards of the city the those are the ones that teach Tora those are the ones that teach Mna those are the ones that are protecting the city they're the ones that are upholding the Torah day and night as the Torah itself says about them this book of Torah shall not depart from your mouth rather you shall study it day and night the prophet yesu chapter 1 ver8 tell them you have to learn T day and night so the people that are teaching T written T oral T they're the Protectors of the city and until you understand that they are the Protectors of the city your city is in danger until am understands until you that are watching this understand that your protection from what's coming is the Torah not just the individual learning but the support of Torah that's your protection until you understand it you are putting yourself at risk that's what the is telling us here now Runa and R said in the name of teachings by rabm the son of RAB he says we find that the Holy One blessed is he would forgo the punishment for the sin of idolatry promiscuity and bloodshed but he was refused to forgo the punishment for the disdain of the Torah as this verse is teaching us for what reason did the land perish and become parched like a desert without a passor by and hasem says because of their forsaking of my Tah it's it not written that because of idolatry or because of promiscuity or because of Bloodshed but rather because of forsaken the Tor are telling us look gave us a hint here even though the Sinners were making all types of sins they were violating the Torah in many ways idolatry wasting seed adultery all types of Filth with immorality even murder Hashem was willing to forgive everything as long as we continued supporting the T as long as we continued learning the tah as long as we continued publicizing the tah but the minute we made the torat the enemy we did not allow the torat to continue flourishing we did not celebrate the Torah hasem says that's it now it's too far that's too far for that I'll destroy everything and that's why the mid continues in the next section and says that if the Jewish people have thrown the words of Torah down to the ground immediately the wicked Kingdom becomes successful against them and that's what it's written for the prophet Danielle and it will achieve and succeed as soon as the Jewish people throw the Torah and disrespect it like the government of Israel is doing right now like many of these reformed Jews are doing now like these self-hating Jews are doing right now the enemy is empowered in fact as soon as the religious community does not celebrate the tah does not celebrate the MIT does not serve AEM with Joy does not make their Judaism their Torah learning the priority number one two and three in their life the enemy is empowered when we treat investing in Torah whether it's money or it's time or it's effort or it's a lifestyle or it's everything else when we treat it with disdain we're empowering amalik we're empowering the enemy and that's where R abana comes and say says there have never risen wise men among the non-jewish Nations like the BAM bilam son of and the Nations asked these people will we succeed with in engaging this nation this Israel going to war with them and Bam said to them go around their synagogues if you find children are locally chirping in a Torah study then you will not be successful against them but if not you will be successful against them for thus did their patriarch assure them the voice of yob and the hands of as or the hands of as what does that mean what does that mean knew this any time the voice of yob is chirping in the synagogues and in the study Halles anytime the Jewish people are learning T anytime the Jewish children are learning tah anytime we are learning Torah that's yov then there is no validity to the hands of asav as's hands that want to murder is's hands that want to rape no there's no he has no power when we're learning toah but anytime The yakov's Voice is not heard in the synagogues in the study hall then there is validity to the hands of as's hands when we simply ignore these words and say oh but you know we have weapons and now they recently announced that Israel has a weapon where they could have some type of bomb that could that could destroy all of the electronics of Iran or or they have a strong Army and strong this and they assassinate this enemy and that enemy so people like yeah but we have the Iron Dome the this Dome and all types of Domes and in reality they're putting the power into their own hands and they're also putting people's lives at risk with that because those that believe that nonsense those that believe that we could win with weapons those that believe that we could win with our own might those that believe that we could win because of our allies whether it be the United States or any of the other countries that haven't declared war against us yet the people that are putting our hope in these types of thoughts and these types of beliefs and these types of hands are literally putting our hopes in the hands of asav instead of putting it in the hands of hem the says that in page 108 says that there was a bird special bird that Noah blessed he blessed this bird why did he bless this bird because each day that they were in AA he had to feed everyone and one day he sees that that he's feeding everyone and then he realized he forgot to feed the bird that was called today it's known as a phoenix and Noah said to the bird why didn't you tell me I forgot to feed you and the bird said to them listen I saw how much you work and how hard you're working and I prefer to go hungry in order to save you a bit of trouble after no saw how merciful this bird is he gave it a blessing a huge blessing now this blessing was even bigger than you could imagine why because originally when this bird was created it was already special and when enticed to eat from the Tree of knowledge she also got all of the animals to eat from the Tree of knowledge and the only one who didn't eat was this bird this bird this Phoenix and therefore blessed this bird and said you're going to live forever where every Thousand Years a fireball will come out from within you burn you up you'll turn into something no bigger than an egg and then you'll rest resurrect and live for another thousand years and the mar says that at the time of the flood all blessings everything was destroyed everything was nullified everything had to restart including the blessing on this bird but when Noah gave her the blessing the blessing itself came back to life and therefore this bird is alive until this day now there are speculations of which bird is this bird or look alike is a interesting teachings about it is even a kids book that has a lot of midashim in it that I learned with my kids one time talks about it he brings a lot of midashim I actually knew the before it I didn't know the midash about it so it was very good to see it he also brings the EDF where you see little bird that we could learn a lot from what can we learn from this bird what can we learn from this bir why is the RAB bringing a kids book because you can learn from everything what is hasem trying to teach us from this bird's blessing is always looking for a candidate is complete good he's complete good he only wants to give good the only reason why he created this world is in order to give us good but because he's good and he knows that just giving good without a purpose is actually bad therefore he gave us the mitv he gave us the Tor he gave us all of the different ways that we could earn the good so we could enjoy the good and appreciate it but at the same token sometimes we don't really know the definition of good we don't know what good is because we're looking for a Salvation from the wrong places and in order to teach his children what salvation looks like created this bird this this Phoenix in order to teach us that in order for you to truly appreciate the Salvation it cannot come Without a Cause it cannot come while you still have anything to rely on so long as you rely on your own strength on your own money on your own ability on your own friends on your own contacts on your own tanks on your own missiles on anything else but Hashem you will not appreciate the salvation for what it is because the ultimate salvation where a kadosh name is sanctified the most is when we see that salvation cannot come from anything else but him and this bird shows us that even though Hashem gave it a blessing Noah gave it a blessing all of these things are happening Hashem still has to remind it every thousand years that it got the blessing because if he just simply lets this bird a simple Bird live forever with no death it defeats the purpose hasem has no benefit in giving a bird a long life it's rather to teach us to teach us that look this bird has to go back to nothing in order for it to resurrect to show you to teach you that when everything fails a can still resurrect and this is the reason why we say every day in our as I learned from my every day three times a day in our amid the Second Blessing the Second Blessing where we talk about the resurrection interestingly enough it [Music] says the king who takes life and revives Yeshua and make salvation Sprout I mean technically it should be worded the king who gives life takes life and revives and brings salvation but it doesn't rather it says the king who takes life then revives and brings a Salvation why why is this the case why why does it say that he takes life and then resurrects and that's the Salvation because wants us to know he wants us to know that first a person thinks that they have all of these Powers all of these abilities especially when a person is Young they think they could Run the World own the world they know they they know more than everybody in their mind they think they know more than their parents they think they know more than the boss they think they know more than the rabbi they think they know more than the adults in the beginning of Life as they grow up they start realizing perhaps they don't know as much as they thought why because they start failing and at some point in their life everybody hits a wall of some kind where they realized that they don't know anywhere near as much as they thought they're not as good even close to being as good as they thought and whatever it is that they put a lot of faith in and sometimes they get to a point of hopelessness brought them there brought you to your Dire Straits is the one that brought you to your failure to your helpl lessness to your hopelessness to your poverty to your misery brought you there why because now he can resurrect you because now you could really become somebody before you actually lost everything you couldn't become anybody why because you put it into your own faith you your own faith into yourself into your own abilities no I made money because I was smart or I made money because of a good timing I made money because I had good contacts good friends I I did this I was powerful and so before you lost everything before you became a zero before you realized that you're less than zero you thought that it's all due to luck time friends power intellect all types of variables that you attributed the credit to at different times of your life and only after Hashem destroyed all of it it made you realize you have nothing but a your friends became enemies your wife left you your husband left you your kids don't want to talk to you nobody even wants to look at you finally you looked up please hasem help me where were you till now I was lost welcome home only after brought you to your bottom to your misery of misery did you abandon the idolatry of putting faith into some human that lived and died and said he's God didn't say he's God some other foolish belief that people have from 2,000 years ago only after showed you no salvation will come from there only after showed you no salvation will come from all of the material possessions you have no salvation will come from the Allies you have from the friends that you have no salvation will come from anything but only after destroyed your faith in everything that you held dear can he now bring you back to life through the salvation by showing you that only he can help you now you're alive now you're alive now you can be somebody and this is why in our prayer we say this King this King what's a king a king is someone that has life and death in his hand he's only a king and we're only allowed to say a blessing of a king to someone that can control whether somebody lives or dies if somebody's powerful rich but is not allowed to kill anybody he wants at will without being scrutinized to any type of law he's not a king he may be a president a prime minister a CEO a friend whatever he is but he's not a king but the moment that he can kill anybody he wants without being scrutinized without being prosecuted he's not a king if he cannot do that he's not a king So kadosh says I am the ultimate King I'm the king of kings and I'm the one that kills and I'm the one that resurrects for what purpose in order to bring the Salvation in order to bring your personal salvation kill you and I'll resurrect you in your own personal life for what purpose because you not only need to know this on an individual level in order for you to have complete faith in hem complete in hem but you all also need this in order to have a national salvation at the times that we're in right now where you literally have every corner of the world pointing their missiles at us every corner in the world attacking us showing us we have no friends we have no allies we have no power we have nothing and so long as we think we can fight it with our own might with our own weapons with our own intellect with our own money with our own contacts we still haven't gone to the bottom and we're simply making things worse this is why says in my eyes are towards the mountains where where is my where is my salvation going to come from what does he mean meaning I have no other hope other than youm was the ultimate servant of he knew from day one throughout his entire life I have nothing but a I don't have might I don't have money I don't have kinghood I don't have this I don't have nothing yeah but you're a king I'm nothing but you're a uh you you have wives nothing you have money nothing everything is nothing meaning I have nothing other thanm he's my salvation he is my salvation he's the one that W will decide whether I win or lose live or die rich or poor married or single he's the one decides whether I'm sick or healthy he's the one nothing else deserves even to be thought of as someone that's in control of anything related to me good or bad no one can help you and no one could hurt you if it's not the will of hem this r is is of Paramount importance for us to know in the battle that we're in right now in the war that we're in right now both individually and as a nation because so long as we think that there is anything else to rely on other than a we will not be in a place that's ready and able to receive receed the ultimate salvation of so long as you are watching the news waiting to see who shooting who's attacking who's helping who is behind the conspiracy that means that you're looking for the Salvation from something else but not Hashem you're looking for the Salvation from something else but not Hashem perhaps today will be good news perhaps today they'll tell us about some new weapon perhaps today they're they're not going to vote against us at the UN perhaps today some is going to say nice things about us in the media perhaps today they'll like us as if the Salvation can come from anything but Hashem so long as we have any any hope in anything else but Hashem we're not not ready to win the war and the war is much greater than Iran like I told you Iran has done this before they thought they have narrowed down the date that they could hurt the firstborn child of hem but that could never be that does not mean that harm can't happen destruction can happen by Annihilation never in order for us to really take this point home there's a few stories that a person has to perhaps engrave into their own Hearts to see how the greatest Torah Scholars of the previous generation lived with this it was a famous wealthy Jew who righteous at the time unfortunately his descendants didn't necessarily follow suit but he was a very righteous Jew his name was anchel Rothchild he was the first of the Rothchild family and he was actually a Torah scholar who eventually got a blessing to go into the business world and became extraordinarily successful one day A Poor Man Poor Jew comes to R rild knocks on his door and as soon as anel opens the door the Jew starts crying to him please please help me I don't have anywhere else to go I have no one else to help me I have three daughters I need to marry all them off I need 300 gold coins to marry them off because no one is even willing to look at them because I'm so poor I have nothing to do nowhere else to go please I need your help Mr Rothchild re Rothchild said no problem wait one minute he went inside got the money together put it in a sack little back for him said here you go the poor Jew could not believe his fortune 300 gold coins 300 gold dinar this is a greater than witting the lotto he gots home he tells his wife she thinks he's crazy what are you talking about he shows her the money she can't believe their Fortune word goes on the street that this is what happened to this person and of course all of the torah's scholars are now interested the greatest of the great are interested in his daughters because now you can build the Torah home while the husband studies there's money to live and he only wants to let his daughters marry Torah Scholars but of course now that he is the he wants to make sure it's the best Torah scholar and he asks each one well did you complete the sh no okay well listen my my daughter is only going to marry someone that has completed the sh another one comes yeah I completed the sh at what age for the first time oh at 18 H 18 is good but it would be better if it was at 16 maybe 15 so not quite and you pick literally the best of the best for each one of his daughters now all the other poor people come to them said how did you where did you get this from how did you get all this money all of a sudden he said I got it from Rothchild where else so of course all of the people ran to Rothschild's house lined up outside of his house everyone ready with their story and Rothchild opens the door to them and says yes and of course all of them scream at once oh we need help we need help he goes okay no problem come back tomorrow and I'll meet with each one of you I'll give each one of you something so these people were clever and they said listen since we're in town anyway let's go collecting from other people and they started going to the B to the Yesa to the the houses and they got whatever they can get each one got a few dollars from everyone and they came back the next day the next day each one came back to Rothschild's house and he gave each one of them a gold coin gold coin gold din gold dinar gold dinar each one got one eventually after everybody got it like whoa what is his favoritism him you gave 300 and each one of us only one what's going on here they protested against it what's going on why why so much to him and only us one he said listen I sent you I said to you wait one day because I wanted to see if you have other helpers other choices other than me and the moment that I saw that you guys went to different places I realized you do have other choices you can go to the people of the the people of the K the people of theet the people that live in the Unity the different so you have other choices so it's not all on me and therefore you can help yourself he on the other hand when he came to me he already told me he has nobody else he has no other choice he has nothing he's completely helpless and at that moment I know the responsibility is mine the responsibility is mine when he sees that we say hm we have no King other than you then Hashem knows ah if I'm your only King if I'm your only salvation then I'll help you but as long as you think you have America or you have England or you have Australia or you have the Iron Dome and the Black Dome and the red Dome and the missiles and they you have all that stuff you have other helpers go go into their hands as long as your hope is in something else that mean you're not ready for the Salvation of hem said a story two stories over this weekend that R frim told me and he says one was from his he learned from both and but he was one of the main he says one day one of the came to him and said to him Rabbi we a problem there's a couple that lives in a lot they're about to get divorced break a home kids everything it's a real tragedy so says to him okay what is have to do with me he says well the husband actually said that he has a lot of cavod for the and only you can convince him not to get a divorce as soon as heard this he says okay let's go let's call him he goes no no you can't no calls this is not for a phone call he won't accept the call where is he a lot 6 and a half hours on a bus from 50 years ago let's go they get on the bus 6 and a half hours is on the bus to go to this guy that he doesn't even know who he is gets to the house goes inside they can't believe that is there sits there for 30 minutes talks to them schom has come back he says he's finished everybody's happy everybody's staying together okay now it's time for me to go home how do I get home oh well there's another the bus in about a half hour it's the last bus goes back on the bus 6 and 1/2 hours back home as soon as he gets home the raban asks him wasn't there anybody else that can do it I mean can't you just send them a letter or perhaps get a one of your tedim to do it or maybe even the rabbi of the city can do it why did you have to do it says to her as soon as I heard that the guy himself says I am his last hope I knew there's nothing else I can do the responsibility is mine and of course the they knew exactly when someone is just saying it and when someone is actually means it many people say yeah you're my last hope but in reality they sent the same message to five different people you're my last hope you're my last hope you're my last hope hoping that at least one of these last hopes is going to be the last hope but knew exactly when this was true when it wasn't when a person understands how Hashem runs the world a person could understand how he has to utilize his own powers I Shalom when he left this world nearly a million people or more than a million people came to his Le people from all walks of life but there was one that stuck out that people really couldn't couldn't make the match I mean was Safari wasn't a I mean and they see this G crying hysterically Beyond any control everyone is crying but he's standing out he's crying worse than everybody so they approached him like listen were curious like everyone's sad but you're extra like R wasn't a reab of ghoul he says what are you talking about radya was more than a father to me everybody shocked was more than the father to you let me tell you the story he said years a ago when I got married I got married to a good woman she went to Seminary she learned she was good everything was good we had a couple of kids and all of a sudden one day my wife loses her mind she tells me that's it I'm done with Judaism I don't want to keep anything I'm not going to eat kosher anymore I'm not going to be sanua anymore I'm not going to the mik anymore I'm not doing anything anymore I'm not even eating kosher anymore you want to stay with me leave me alone I'll do whatever ever I want no that's it you could take the kids I'm out of here I couldn't believe my life was falling apart in front of me in a second any attempt to talk to her to reason with her why why what did I do why you doing this refused to talk refused everything I tried to bring the rabbis the rebies nothing nobody and I'm crying one day and one of the people in the El says to me why you crying what why am I crying my whole life is falling apart what do you mean why am I crying and I tell him what happened to me says you know what you should go to RF he said who who Who's RF he doesn't sound like one of the rebies here he goes no no no he's not a rebi he's a saf this is a story from over 50 years ago before was is but he has a sweet tongue he has the words that he says he can melt your heart he knows he can help you he's the only one that can help you say where is he he say he's in theid goes on a bus and then another bus and then another bus four different buses to eventually go from Tel Aviv all the way to Y day how people travel much easier four different buses eventually gets to's house in El and the El Street he knocks on the door and the raban opens he says please I want to see I'm sorry the r is studying he go no please it's p the raban says listen the r studying is also p if you want you can wait until he goes to and you can walk with him but I am not going to interrupt him studying nothing in the world interrupts his studying he's learning that's understood respected it and waited patiently eventually a Time came for the came out of the place and as soon as he came out the was waiting for him says Rabbi can I please walk with you sure and he tells him the story andya hears him he says Rabbi my whole life has fallen apart we took it to the rebi we took it to the other rebi we took it to everyone she nothing worked everything fails and I was told only you can help everyone else failed at that moment R told them okay let's go pray now pray mean and then I'll go with you to your house they prayed and said we're going to go V said to the raban okay I'm going to Tel Aviv the raban wasik didn't ask any questions she knew if the rabbi's going somewhere there's a real reason for it good reason for it and on they go and of course the rabis is with a book the whole time she gives him a book he's on a book the whole time and theid is telling him when to get on and when to get off the buses the rabbi's faces in the book the whole time few hours on the bus eventually they get to tell aiv after four different buses and they get to the house before soon as they get in and say one second let me tell the wife that you're coming in so she's ready the guy comes in he tells the wife that who's a Dian has come to talk to you as soon as she hears this she runs into her room locks the door and says I'm not coming out he's pleading with her please don't embarrass me came all the way here nothing he lets the rabbi in said just sit in the couch the rabbi starts learning on the couch he's sitting over there learning and the guy goes back to the room says please please let him come out just talk to him for a few minutes no why'd you bring him I brought him all the way here please I made the rabbi leave everything two and a half hours while on the road just so he could talk to you no I told you to take him where did I I didn't tell you to bring him here it's your problem no please just a few minutes he's pleading with their Advent listen only a couple of things and I'm leaving that's it couple of things and I'm I'm not not going to listen to a long lecture says no problem just two minutes okay she agrees to come out and they come in front of the rabbi as soon as the rabbi realized she's in front of him puts the book down he looks at looks up and then he starts crying and crying and crying his hysterical crying to a point of just worse than death and and his wife are now uncomfortable they have no idea what just happened and the rabbi is crying and he cannot talk he can't bring a word out of his mouth he start can't talk he's just crying and crying hysterical didn't know Rabbi is some water water please Rabbi and the rabbi's crying and eventually the Rabbi says how could it be how could it be that a kosher is is not going to want to go to the mikve for family Purity and be obligated on KET how can it be and then he starts crying even more and more and more until the woman understood she doesn't have person in front of her she has an angel of hem in front of her say Okay Rabbi Rabbi it's okay relax I promise I will go to the mik as soon as she said that ra stopped he stood up and he started giving her such abundance of blessings she never heard before in her life may hasem bless you and your kids and all your kids are going to be and you'll be praiseworthy and you do this and every blessing Under the Sun as they finished the rabbi went out went on four different buses to go all the way back home and when the raban saw him says Rabbi why don't you have somebody else do it such late at night he says to her to the raban he said I was the only one that can help now the that's telling the story to the other people at the he says listen brother vya didn't just help me today I don't have just a couple of kids that I had at the time today I have seven children and every one of the seven children that I have is a has his own isad is my wife she Chu she said I'm sorry for all the foolishness that she was doing she did complete chuv a complete sadik and all seven of my kids didn't just fix my marriage he built my house when a person understands that they have to they have to go to a specific person for salvation that means that they're putting all of their trust in that person or that army or that country or that material and therefore kadh says if you trust that person if you trust that Army if you trust that friend you trust that Ally I'll put you in their hands and that in itself is a curse but when a person puts themselves in the hands of and says we have no King other than you then says if I'm your only King if you don't have anything else I have to fix it I have to save you if you don't have any other hope then I have to save you many people are afraid of all types of variables and there was a time where there was hijacking and all types of horrible things that happened at the time where radun was still Among Us he gave lectures that literally woke up the dead hearts and there were a time that people were afraid of going on planes because of what was happening there was all types of hijacking and radon told them planes don't fall from the sky people do said but the plane crashed he goes no say you have to understand every single one of those people that's on that plane had to go on some type of trial with hem and onip decided this one violated Shabbat death penalty this one adultery death penalty this one for the previous Carnation death penalty this one for this death penalty each one of them had an account so they bought a ticket to go somewhere else they didn't realize they're buying their last ticket but a designated that every bullet has a name just like used to say the plane was simply The Last Ride for all of those people the planes don't fall from the sky the people do they have some account with AEM so long as you think that it's the airline or it's the army or it's the weapon or it's the government or it's the terrorist or it's whatever it is that is responsible for your damage for your loss that means that you forgot who is the king of kings and therefore if we want the decree of ham of today to be overturned like the decree of Haman from a few thousand years ago then we have to utilize the same weapons of mass destruction as M did as thear says that initially Hamman literally had the decree in his hand to kill all of am is in one day worse than Hitler worse the destruction of the BET mikdash first or the second the worst decree that ever happened to is M did not get weapons did not get Spears did not get cannons did not get missiles did not try to make any type of alliance with some other Army M took all of the kids tens of thousands of kids and started to learn t with them started to learn the most difficult parts of the mishna with them so much so that when ham passed by and saw so many kids learning toah he started listening to them going through the different parts of the mishna that are going over different sacrifices of the BET mikdash and how much you give and how much you don't he says what you're learning just destroyed my decree Haman already knew his decree is not going to work if your weapon is missiles Haman can win but if your weapon is toah Haman can not win each and every single one of us has to know that either aad is going to destroy us like the phoenix like the in order to resurrect Us in order to bring the Salvation or we can fast forward it ourself and say our father our King we don't have another king other than you and therefore all of our trust is in you and only you not the Army not the Allies not the weapons not the money not the anything else our only trust is in you and you alone and therefore we're going to do more to prove that It's Only You by learning more tah by supporting more tah by using the money the weapons that we have to publicize more tah and not to protect oursel by buying guns to protect ourselves by buying a tank to protect oursel by fleeing to some foreign Island we're not running away from our problems we know that you are the ultimate salvation and saying it is not enough we have to show it each and every single one of us could improve in our prayer in our learning of Torah in our in oura and if we do that we win the war before it even starts we succeed thank you very much for learning with me for anyone that wants to support T and partner with us to publicize more tah we have a major event happening in just the next couple of weeks we're going to have a thousand people learning the entire Mish all in one day in the north it's an event where each person that comes is going to get financially compensated but more importantly is going to have a environment where it's going to be a pleasure to learn T an enormous amount of T in one day to bring more protection to is this is hundreds of thousands of dollars that we are going to be giving to people to publicize more Torah in the world anyone that wants to be a part of it is more than welcome to you can donate on our website BH torah.org orem.org and if you want to help us and partner with us with all the key that the organization is doing with the books we're giving out for free the USBs the lectures and Bash all of the other wonderful things that the organization is doing you could donate on the websites you could donate by check you can donate in a lot of different ways in so many words if you want to be a partner in t in order to to show that you're not only saying we don't have another king other than you but you're actually showing it because you're using your resources to show that this is what you believe in if is did this if is is doing what you doing then we've already won and no one could ever hurt us because we've already brought ourselves to the point where we no longer need to be destroyed in order to be resurrected we've already destroyed the and that's already the whole point thank you very much for learning with me bless each and every one of you and we'll continue learning later this week with good news [Music] amen amen amen
