Political Representation of Jewish People Is An Illusion| WAR OF AMALEK (27)

We are back here on our Tuesday night war of series where Rael Khan Vasam is literally giving us his words of prophecy nearly 100 years ago about everything that is happening right now in the era of Messiah where we are literally moments away from Mashiach arriving at any given moment and uh we see Everything that said similar to uh the prophets are what we're seeing in the world today. Now, tonight is going to be for the for Sarah Leana and also big congratulations for the learning of my dear children Sarah and Ysef. All of them are doing amazing. Big to all of them. So with that being said, uh just to give you as a reminder, anyone who is not in our WhatsApp groups uh or following us uh on social media, uh we just launched a campaign uh today uh that uh to help the poor Jewish families in Israel uh during this upcoming holiday of Shvot. As the Rambam says, the uh most critical mitzvah that a person must do before every single Jewish holiday is to help the poor people to give taka to help the poor people. Uh if a person is celebrating the holiday while his fellow Jews are struggling even though it's with within his means to help them. Uh the Rambam says this is a great sin. So uh we uh take the opportunity each holiday to help Jewish people in Israel uh that are struggling whether it's a uh financial struggles due to uh uh government issues or other issues the the struggles unfortunately continue. So anyone that wants to uh use the gifts that gave them and make themselves into the messenger that Hashem sends his blessings through uh can donate on the uh campaign that we have. The link will be on the bottom. You could also see it on our uh uh website. We're trying to raise as much money as possible to help them uh in the uh next couple of weeks. Uh we're most likely going to be giving out already distributing the money and food and everything already by next week. So the more you help us uh the more we can help them be and of course to support K to support our kals our books and everything else is always needed is always necessary. Uh hashem. Uh last but not least, uh I know that many of you have asked me uh in regards to when are we going to get our own place, our own building, and I've told you many times we've tried leasing many different places, but there's always been some type of an issue, whether it's uh uh difficult government regulations or uh difficult terms with landlords or backing out on different deals. We've come to the conclusion already and I've said this several times that uh really the uh solution for us is to finally uh raise enough money so we can buy a building. Now I know that we've had campaigns to raise money to buy a building and it hasn't worked out. Uh not enough people have donated substantial uh enough money to uh to be able to buy anything especially with prices skyrocketing here in Florida uh over the last uh several years. So what I would propose is uh what I proposed already for uh uh uh couple of people already in the last uh week or so. I propose it to anyone else that has the means to do it. Anyone that wants to not necessarily give it to us but wants to lend it to us. Uh we'll pay you back the money. Uh we could make reasonable terms, but the point is anyone that has the means has the ability to lend us the money. Uh so we could buy a building. We'd be more than happy to uh to talk to you. Uh but of course not if you're cash advance or you're one of these ripoff organizations simply normal loan by uh person. So help us uh publicize tom uh the uh the amount of the loan that would needed for the building that we've been looking at already for over 6 months is somewhere in the neighborhood of $3.5 million. So it's a uh substantial amount of money but not unreachable uh by uh by you know by most people's standards when people have the meats. So with that being said, we're going to get into the lecture. The uh the critical part of this lecture is to understand the ultimate message. Now, as recent as even the last couple of months, especially this last month, we've seen the different religious groups in the Jewish world argue publicly with major campaigns about who should be representing the Jewish people. uh in the uh in politics in the the the World Zionist organization organization of heretics and uh and and uh and atheists uh had a uh election and some said that uh if we don't elect good representatives uh there uh you know from the Jewish world that's fume then the reform and the uh and the atheists are going to take all the money while others said that uh it's forbidden for even associating with them. And of course, it was a big public and ugly battle uh over these last month. I'm sure some of you have seen the messages that they spent a fortune on this stuff. Quite frankly, if they spent that amount of money in supporting the Kiru that we're doing, I believe we'll be able to have tens of thousands of Bal Chuva that will bring a lot more blessing to the Jewish people than any World Zionist organization can ever do. But nonetheless, this was something that happened recently. This is something that happened in the past. It's not a new thing. There's constantly battles between Jewish leaders uh about politics. And of course, we have also some of the uh modern uh orthodox types of uh uh people that uh put themselves in leadership positions like the uh Shapiro of the world and uh the Prager and other people that so-called uh Jewish representation. And of course with representation like that uh you know who who needs who needs any of it? But nonetheless, we've had this. We've had this now. We've had this in past years. We've had this during the Enlightenment Movement. We've had this during the uh uh the Greek times. We've had this. We've had this. And interestingly enough, this too is discussed by Alan nearly a century ago. And tonight we're going to learn what the RV said about the illusion that people have of political representation and uh in fact how that applies to uh our day-to-day life. Now, we've said already in past lectures in this series that Raasimman's clear opinion to stay away from these messengers of the Satan. But tonight, we're going to take a little bit of a different angle and uh identify the illusion. What's the illusion? The illusion of the great and the small. does not skip any words, does not sugarcoat anything, says things clearly. Now, on one end, there are people that are going to say, well, we need to do there's meaning the effort that if you're going to, you know, protect the Jewish people, you not you need to have political leaders. And therefore they justified getting different types of people to represent the Jews in front of the different governments. Throughout history, sometimes it was for good, sometimes not so much. In recent history, we've seen how the Zionists that uh hated the Torah would send their representatives to different governments and would say that they are the representing the interest of the Jewish people. The truth is though that these so-called representatives like many of them today were not exactly sadikim were not exactly righteous and simply act like Greeks mitavim who are looking for their own interest but this is not unique among ams also happens in other governments like the United States US politicians who have been exposed in recent months for sending billions of dollars to their friends and families organizations, fake nonprofit organizations, corrupt business dealings with companies that they have relationships with. And some of this has been exposed by Elon Musk and this whole Doge uh segment of the government that's been established where I saw in a recent interview when they asked what you know they asked him and his team what have you discovered what can you talk about he says listen we're not looking to do anything uh against the Constitution. We're not looking to specifically get anyone in trouble. We're just looking for clarification. So when we saw that there's millions of dollars going to these nonprofit organizations and we didn't know what these nonprofit organizations were doing. We looked at which who is allowing this and we said listen from now on before you spend any money send any money to these whether these companies or nonprofit organizations send a receipt. Send a receipt. That's it. That's all we're asking for. We're not saying we're going to actually check the receipt. We're not going to say that we're going to investigate anything. Just simply send a receipt. He even said himself. They could have sent a picture of a dog and that could have possibly passed through the system, but we just wanted some type of checks and balance, send a receipt. And interestingly enough, we saw that as soon as we requested for them to send a receipt, they stopped requesting money just like that. millions of dollars, billions of dollars in some cases that were supposedly needed and committed to all of a sudden no longer needed. Why? Because they don't want to provide a receipt. Other times when they uh said uh what is this money being spent for? Why is it that every member has two credit cards from the government that have unlimited spending power where they could buy whatever they want that no one's going to tell them uh that there's a limit has been reached because you could just simply print more money. We said, you know what, we're only going to have one credit card. So, we canled a bunch of credit cards. And interestingly enough, the spending has gone down. Why is the spending down? I mean, you could just charge everything to one credit card. We started looking at the expenses, he says. And he is surrounded by other billionaires that literally have taken time out of their life, out of their careers to write what they see as wrong. The US has been a laughingstock in the eyes of the world for years already about stupid things they spend money on. I remember years ago, maybe eight, nine years ago, I did a lecture and I listed a few things that the government spends money on, $50 million on investigating how horses feel when they're dropped out of a plane and uh all types of strange things. This has been a laughing thing for for years. And he's finally doing somebody's doing something about it. And these group of billionaires gathered themselves, their intellect, their their uh their knowhow, their technology, their people and are simply trying to investigate where's this money going. They started finding things. They started finding that government members that are supposed to be representing the interest of the people have spent millions of dollars renting out entire stadiums just for the sake of having a party. private planes, all types of exorbitant expenses that are not in the best interest of the people to say the least. So this is not a new thing. When you give people position of power, they're not necessarily always going to use that power for the best interest of those that put them in power. And the same goes with unfortunately the Jewish people where sometimes there are Jews that are not exactly very committed to Jewish life. They may pretend to be. They may say they are, but in reality they're anything but that. And one of those examples was the early Zionists that claimed to be the representatives of the Jewish people at large, but in reality wanted nothing to do with Judaism. And these Zionists were really requesting the Orthodox Jewish people that have sacrificed their life for the sake of serving Hashem and representing his. They requested them to vote for them, empower them, donate to them, and support them. While at the same time, these Zionists were really representing the Scala movement. the enlightenment movement. No different than the recent World Zionist Organization uh election scandal where one side said go and vote doesn't mean that you're going to be part of the Zionist. You're just going to take what's ours and the other one the other side the other one said no it's to vote and be part of any part of world Zionist. Some understood, some did not understand. Says regarding the election of the mitavim representatives, he's talking about these political representatives that are being sent to different political leaders to represent the Jews. Regarding them, they are miting. There are people that are acting like the Greeks. Aside from the prohibition of associating with them, which we've already discussed in the previous section of this uh series where they are Raasaman calls them the messengers of the Satan. Even in the best case scenario, says Raasam, nothing good will ever come of it. Point blank. He says even in the best case scenario, even if they're not repres, you know, saying that they are going to be uh for the Jews, but really they're going to be for the Scala movement, they're really going to be for Israel, but in reality, they're supporting the enemies. No, no, no. He says, even in the best case scenario where it's not that, it's not what we just said, nothing good will ever come from it. Why? As the says about the verse in the book of Job chapter 3 verse 19, small and great are equal there. What does that mean? Small and great are equal there. What does it mean? says the because in this world whoever is called small is possibly really not small and one who is viewed as great is possibly not great. But in one who is small is really small and one who is great is really great. Let's take a moment and delve into the words of the prophet Job where this verse comes from where he says small and great are equal there. This is in a segment of when Job is suffering. Overnight he went from being a billionaire to losing every penny he had. He went from being a father to 10 children to seeing all of his children die in the same day. He went from being powerful to being the laughingtock. Job is suffering to the point where there's a verse that literally says he is suffering. And in chapter 2 verse one says, Job's three friends heard about the total calamity that has befallen him. meaning this calamity that happened to Job spread out all over. It wasn't, oh, he just got sick. And no, no. In those days, there wasn't phones. There wasn't, you know, airplanes. But yet, the calamity that happened to Job was so extraordinary that the message spread everywhere and it got to his three friends. As we said in previous lectures that the mid says that these three friends were holy and they had such a friendship that each one of them wore a special hat with three faces on it and anytime one of them was in need of the other that face would show up and they would literally go to them. So the three friends heard about the calamity and they all left at the same time where they came. me, Bilda, the Shurite, Zofa, the Namite, they all gathered together to mourn with Job and comfort him. But when they got there, the verse says they raised their eyes from a distance but did not recognize him. He was so disheveled, so full of sickness, absesses all over his body. He was so sick that literally worms were coming out of his body. It was unrecognizable being a billionaire, being someone that was on the top of power of of wealth and of righteousness. Look what happened to him. They couldn't recognize him. They raised their voices and wept. They started crying out loud in the middle of the street when they saw him. And each man rent his coat. They start ripping their their their garments as if he somebody died in front of them. And they threw dust over their heads towards heaven. They sat with him on the ground for a period of seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him for they saw that his pain was very great. And after that, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day. Job saw that he was being punished with a terrible suffering, says the Ramban, despite his total innocence. And of course, he knew that there's no injustice from Hashem. So he started rationalizing things incorrectly. Perhaps Hashem just lets things happen as they are. And the book of Job is full of esoteric language. In fact, from this point on in the the book of Jobim say until almost the end of the book of Job, it has unique language similar to Psalms and Proverbs which a system that's called the uh which is an acronym in Hebrew is an acronym for Psalms, Proverbs, and Job. The uh T of the last letter um is for the me is for Mish for proverbs and the alf is for a for job and therefore with when you're reading it if you don't read it with commentary simply wasting your time but anyway job spoke out and he said horrible things about the day he was born. Lust be the day when I was born and the night when I was announced. A man has been born. May that day become dark. May God pay it no heed from above. May light never shine upon it. May darkness and the shadow of death sully it. May a cloud rest upon it. May it be terrified by the demons of the day. May thick darkness snatch that night. May it not have joy among the days of the year. May it not come among the count of the months. May the night be desolate. May no joyful song come into it. May those who curse the day curse it. And so too those who stand ready to arouse others in their mourning. Horrible things are being said by Job as he is suffering and the says multiple places including you can't judge people that are in pain. Even in shine, Hashem does not judge a person that's in pain the same way that he judges someone that is not in pain. Why did I not die from the womb, not expire as I came forth from the belly? He's literally wishing that he was never born. And he continues and continues. And it says, "If I would have just simply died, it's born as what's called a still life baby, which is a baby that's born and dies instantly or dead." He says, "If I would have simply died that way, I would have gone straight up to Shamim. I would have been with the kings and the counselors of the world who rebuilt ruins for themselves or with ministers who have gold and fill their houses with silver. And then he starts talking about the world of truth and he says there the wicked cease from agitation and their exhausted one's repose. The captives altogether are tranquil. They do not hear the taskmaster's voice. Small and great are equal there and the slave is freed from his master. the initia page 85b in the name of who asked says isn't it obvious that everyone small and great all end up in the grave like why is he saying this small and great are equal there so explains that the verse should be understood in regards to Torah study where whoever learns Torah in this world with the awareness that his knowledge is minuscule relative to the vastness of the Torah will merit greatness in the world to come. And whoever is a servant of the Torah in this world becomes free in the world to come. Because this person lives not for his own pleasure but as a servant of those in need. Those whom the Torah directs him to help. In the world to come, he will be free to enjoy the spiritual rewards that he earned. On the other hand, the verse also is telling us a message that's more relevant to the matters at hand that the is talking about where it says it's only after death that the real person is revealed because in life a person cannot be definitely definitively evaluated as either small or great. As great as a living person is, he could destroy his reputation in a moment. Like we saw the Coen Gadul, former Coen Gadan Coen Gadul who was a Coen Gadul for 80 years but strayed from the path of truth and became a Sadducee as the page 29A talks about and the Mishnot uses him as an example to never trust yourself even in your old days. The reverse is also true where a small person may perform a great act before his death that catapults him to the highest levels of heaven. Like we saw the page 10b use the example of Papus and Lulanus, the two brothers who took upon themselves to admit to a crime they did not do. somebody murdered a Roman princess and of course they blamed the Jews and said that if you don't give us the the murderers we're going to kill every Jew. So papus and lanus toots sadikim who weren't known as great sadikim at least not to that extent came in and said yeah we did it we killed her even though they didn't and they died on kushem and the says that these brothers are in such a high level in heaven that no one can stand near them. So even though they lived a life obviously they did mitzvot they did good things but in comparison to their self-sacrifice to save the Jewish people nothing compares to it they changed their status forever but Job is saying his suffering is so great he does not want to live he wishes he was already ina that would simply take him. But that's where he's at at this point. Not because he thinks that God is not just, but rather because he doesn't understand why he this system where things are happening to him where he thinks he's innocent. Perhaps Even if this is the way the world works, why let me continue living if I'm suffering so much. He's questioning it. That was his in essence mistake during this test. If you can say that which says in I believe Job is in a position of misery. And he talks about how this world of falsehood, of illusion, could have things like this where a righteous person is suffering. But in the real world, if you're righteous, there's no such thing as suffering. Same thing on the opposite end. A wicked person look like they're prospering. They have a lot of money, reputation, honor, and so on. But in the real world, in LA, there's no such thing. If they're a wicked person, there's no joy whatsoever that they're ever going to have. Because in that world small and great are equal. So the is saying that the big illusion that people have when they pick different representatives to represent the Jewish people in politics is that they choose them based on what this person is saying that they have a lot of contacts, they have a lot of power, may have a lot of money, they look great, they look like they're connected, they look like they have the right interest. This is all an illusion because the person you thought is insignificant. He's just a simple rabbi. What does he know? He's a nobody in the world of politics. It may be that in the real world, he's great. And therefore, Hashem will certainly bless his hand in whatever he does, even in this world. On the other hand, a person that is in a view of people as great because he has power and money and so on. In reality, Hashem says this is a wicked person. He's a nothing and therefore his ways will not be blessed. And that's one of the reasons why says even in the best case scenario the political representation of wicked people even if they don't mean to promote atheism and and and missionaries and all types of even if they actually say listen we're going to like uh you know like Benville who said he is going to bring more power to Israel and going to fight against the enemy. We're going to weaponize everything and da just put him in power. Okay. As soon as he got into power after years and years of protesting and show and words and everything else, the second he got into power, he became like a little puppy. All of a sudden, he can't talk. All of a sudden, he can't do. All of a sudden, forgot the Torah. Meaning it's not just the atheists and the communists. We're even talking about people that are religious Jews, but say no, we're going to go to the government and we're going to represent the Jewish people in Israel. We're going to represent the Jewish people in America. We're going to present the Jewish people in Germany, wherever it is. Says nothing will come out of this. Nothing good will come out of this. Why? Because it all has to do with small and great equal there. Meaning, who is the person? Are they really great or they just look great? Because you're picking him because he looks great. He looks like he knows how to talk. Very charismatic. He looks passionate. He looks like he knows what he's talking about. He looks like he has power. But in reality, in the eyes of Hashem, he's not great. He's small. So his influence, his success will simply be non-existent. Even though he promises and plans on doing a lot of good things, Hashem will not bless his ways. On the other hand, the people you should have picked that look small, that look insignificant because they're just simple sadikim learning in k simple rabbi 80 90 years old. what he does will be blessed because he's great. And therefore says we must discern and distinguish what are the signs of certainty of who is small or great in the world of truth. And there are clear signs that our Torah teaches us of how to determine who is really great. I mean, he wore a keeper. Okay, fine. I'm not going to elect the guy that's an atheist, the guy that's promoting uh you know uh uh Christianity uh and Christian missionaries. I'm not going to promote him. I'm not going to promote uh you know a uh uh Herzel and and No. Okay. I'll pick a religious Jewish guy. Who's Paul in politics? Is he great or he looks great? Do you know he's great? I don't know if he's really great. Says there's a way. There's a foolproof way to distinguish who is really great and who's not. Because if he's great, that means that Hashem will bless his hands and everything that he does. If he's not, nothing good will come out of it. What is this says? We see that our later sages gave us the definitive and consistent sign of how a person views himself. And thereby we see that the greater a person is, the smaller he views himself. And the smaller that he is, the greater he views himself. That's the sign. Humility. If he views himself as somebody special, as someone that's smarter than everybody else, as someone that is more powerful than everybody else, if he thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. If he thinks that everyone else is stupid except him. If he thinks that he knows it all, then you are of absolute certainty that he is not only not great, but he's smaller than you can possibly imagine, which we'll discuss in a moment. Yeah, but he said good things in that uh speech. Meaningless. Yeah, but he uh spoke to that president and he has a picture on his website. Meaningless. Yeah, but he uh says that he's going to fix this and that. Zero, nothing, meaningless. He thinks he's better than everybody else. He's not great at all. He's the opposite. On the other hand, you want to identify the truly great people. You want to identify the people that views as great. Don't look for the guy that's constantly looking for attention. that's constantly looking to be celebrated as how great he is and bravo for everything that he ever did and even if he didn't do it. No, no, no. If you want to find someone great, says we learned from our holy sages simple truth, the greater he really is in the eyes of Hashem, the smaller he views himself. Prime example, Mosherenu. Prime example, Yeshua Benoon. Prime example, Abrainu. Prime example, David. Prime example, all of the greatest sadikim that is ever had. The greater they were, the more humble they were. And they were literally able to move mountains with simple words. As Rashi says on the verse in Job chapter 3 verse 19, small and great are equal there. Though inabah that's where a person knows for sure who is great and who is a disgrace. And since the greatness is eternal there for the one that's truly great, so is the disgrace eternal for the one that's truly a disgrace. for the small one. The in page 5A has a story of a neardeath experience of Rav Ysef the son of Rabu bin Levi. Rav Ysef was sick and he died. But shortly thereafter came back to life. When he awoke his father Levie asked him, "What did you see son?" He said, "I saw an upside down world." Why upside down world? The uppermost in this world are below in the world to come. Meaning the people that are famous in this world. They have 500,000 subscribers, 5 million subscribers. They have thousand cars. They have houses. They're on uh every show. Everyone wants to talk to them. In the real world, in the world that I saw, they're in some corner hiding from the Malab, the angels of destruction, hoping they could have a moment of peace before the next whip of fire hits them. They're in the lowliest places. But it the ones that are in this world lowly where no one wants to pay attention to them. They're called fanatic. And then when it comes to Torah, they're too religious. They don't have much money. In the world that I saw, every angel surrounds them, celebrating them, glorifying them, putting crowns on them, singing their name. The opposite of this world, says Raf says to him, Ben, his father, he was friends with Ela and also with the Satan. The Satan was friends with him. One day the Satan comes to he says, "You want me to show you G?" I'll show you. Show him gay. Then after that he says, "You want me to show you Ganed?" So sure. He takes him to Ganed. After sawen, he asked the Satan, "Let me see your uh the knife that he has, how he takes the life out of people. Let me see it for a second." Sure. My buddy, we're friends. He gives it to him. As soon as Yeshua Nvie got a hold of this, he jumped over the fence of Ganed and went inside. And he said, "I swear that I'm not leaving this place. Not going to let you kill me. Eventually, you have to kill me. Take my life. Not going." Said, "No, come on. You You have to give it back to me." Goes, "No, I swear already. I'm not leaving." Goes to Hashem. Hem tell to give my knife back. I I need it for work. Hashem says to no, give it. He needs it for work. I need to run the world. Says, "No, no, I'm not giving. He's gonna kill me. I'm not going to take it. Why? I'm already in Geden. This is my section, right? Why should I leave? Why should I kill? No, I don't want to." Okay, let's check if Yeshua Levi ever said a word and didn't and didn't commit it. Ever lied in his whole life. They checked the account of Yeshua Levi. He never lied a single time says to Levi, "Okay, fine. You can stay in Ganed. Just give him back to NFK. I need to run the world, but I won't take you out of Ganed. You can stay." And therefore, the says Levie is one of 10 people that entered Gan Eden without ever dying. He gave him back the knife and the Satan went back to work until this day. So the same says to his son in that world that you saw when you died momentarily where the people that are great in this world and popular and they have subscribers and they have likes and they have cars and they have money and they in the real world the world you saw they're lowly. And then the people that are given real that are telling people the truth that helping people do chuva that are doing but in the world that you saw they're celebrated while here they're mocked. That's not an upside down world. You saw the real world. You saw the world of truth, my son. That's what you saw here tells us the same thing that the said thousands of years later about how there There's an illusion, an illusion in front of everyone's eyes. And therefore, explains that even if you elect the so-called religious Jew to be your representation in the government, nothing good will come out of it. Even if you be nice to the Zionist heretics and come to terms with them that you have a red line you're not willing to cross, nothing good will come from it. And therefore those that are exerting their efforts to select political messengers based on their connections or even those as a side note that are selecting a rabbi based on how many subscribers he has or how many people like him or say different things about him or even people that select a business based on how many commercials they see. and how rich the uh CEO is. All will be sadly disappointed when they see that the image is fake in more cases than not. Of course, there are some times where someone is great both in this world and the next, but many times they're not. There are some times where the business represents greatness and really is great. But there are times more often than not that it represents greatness, but it truly it's corrupt. It's a predatory business. There are times where people say, "Yeah, I want you to uh look great." But in reality, they just want you to pay a whole lot of money so they can become rich. They care less about whether you look great or not. They'll tell you you look great even if you look like a cat. So people that evaluate things based on the superficial things are bound to be disappointed. 12 years ago, there was a guy that uh has some political connections, had a son, and uh he's going to have a break for his son. And he invited famous as a moit who's probably has done tens of thousands of brick which unfortunately is something that's attacked from generation to generation by the heretics and the idol worshippers like what's happening in Belgium right now where some wicked Jew went and told the government all typ of lies about the Jewish people. And the Belgium government apparently has broken the doors down or simply filed a lawsuit against the Muhaleim have taken their knives and said that they're not going to allow Jews to be circumcised anymore. Even though the lawsuit is not done, they already taking the weapon, the the uh the knives, the tools, threatening to arrest people. Horrible things are happening. And this is unfortunately something that we've seen throughout history. But about 12 years ago, there was a uh and sadik was going to be the due to circumcision. He came to the brit and uh he sees that there okay we're ready. So no no the father says no listen we we have to wait for the sak who was the sundak the Israel's minister of defense powerful person not exactly religious not exactly righteous but nonetheless powerful person that the father was friendly with and he invited him to be the sundak to hold the baby while he's being circumcised. Offic says he's not here. We have to move forward. We don't wait. He saw one of the religious people in the crowd. He said, "You come. You're going to be the sunduck. Come sit over here." Puts the baby on him. One, two, three. Circumcise the baby. Everything is good. Finished. And of course, the father is now worried. What am I going to tell the minister of defense when he comes? I mean, yeah, he was late, but he's going to come and he's going to come. He canceled meetings, appointments. You know, in Israel, it's a practically a war at all times. It's either a war they're in or war they're going to be or war they're in. But they're not telling people. There's always something. There's always action over there. So he cancelled all these appointments and I come I'm going to tell him so says to him you should say thank you to Hashem you had a righteous person be the sunduck for your son than some wicked politician and as he's leaving of course the minister of defense walks into the room with his entourage and security and of course all the people there Ooh. Ah. Ooh. Ah. Everybody's impressed. But Rabbi Sasson cares less. He just walks. And of course, the minister looks at him. He sees he's not impressed. He stops him. It bothers him. He says to him, "Do you know who I am?" And officer Sun says to him, "No, not really." This was shocking. What do you mean? Look at my face. You know who I am, right? Of innocently says, "No, I have no idea who you are. Who are you?" The minister of defense arrogance could not control itself. What? You don't know who I am. He got so angry he turned around and left. And therefore, as a side note, the father of the baby did not have to explain to him that uh he missed his uh his chance anyway because the was already done. But he also knew what the rabbi said was right about you're lucky that a righteous person was the suck for your son. there's some wicked person this love shalom in says you have to be very very careful of who's the sak of the kids because if the sak is a wicked person not only is it bad for the kid it could even cost the kid the life the sak has on him all types of sins same thing with naming kids naming kids after. And the reality is time many times people are impressed by powerful people, rich people, politicians. But if you look at the people that are the most loyal to the Torah, not only they're not impressed, they're unimpressed. They say that in Benbra every kid knows who Ben Gulon was, but not like people know. People know Gulon. Oh, he's the prime minister of Israel. He did this. He Okay. But the religious kids, they know Bengon. Why? Oh, yeah. He's the man that had a meeting with the uh the Kazones Kadosh, the great Kazones. He we heard that this man met with the Khazones. That's Yeah, we know. We have no idea. He's he was prime minister. He was No, they just know he's a he's a he's a person that was fortunate enough to sit down with the Kazones. When Benguon wanted to meet with the Kazunish and he sent a messenger says tell him my door is open whoever wants to come is can come. Meaning you want to come come on like that because he said oh look he's not impressed and he went he met him. One of the extraordinary things that came out of that meeting was only found out many years later. One of the assistants of Benguon also similar belief system, similar secular life, traditional to a certain extent where they would his wife would light candles for Shabbat but then violate Shabbat. But to their surprise, one of their children did chuva and became a very serious a big important rabbi. So when they asked the mother, what happened? I mean your husband worked for Bengu not exactly the uh example of religion. The sons followed in the same footsteps. This one son, this one son became sadik. How? And this simple innocent Jewish woman that didn't know right or left says to listen, let me tell you something. My husband worked for Bengu and he idolized him. He said he was the greatest, he was smart, he was this, he was that. So when I would light my candles on Shabbat on Friday night, I would pray to Hashem to make my uh son like Benon. If he's that great, my husband idolize him so much. Okay, I want my son to be like him. But then one day, my husband came from work. He told me, "Honey, you're never going to believe it. The Benguon today saw and met with the Kazunish. I didn't know who Kazunish is. He says after he got out of that meeting, I have just met one of the angels of Hashem. Gon was so impressed and enamored by the Kazones. He says, "This must be an angel of Hashem. So when I heard that I said okay. So next time I lit candles I was pregnant I pray to Hashem if Benguon is impressed by this. So make my son also like this. And that's what happened. The prayers of a mother are unbelievable. Even if when she sometimes they're so especially the older generation the older generation they were innocent they were not as knowledgeable there's not you know they they weren't educated in the same way as today there wasn't as much access some of them amazing how simple prayer of a mother literally can change the eternity of a son people idolize people. No different than this guy that worked for Ben Gyon. But today, it's not just idolizing Trump or BB Netanyahu or Elon Musk or any of the other billionaires out there. No, no. People even idolize their bosses, their neighbors based on all types of superficial things because of the amount of money they have or at least they say they have. Yeah, I like to listen to this guy talk even he says Torah stuff. So why why do you listen to him though? What's the uh Well, I heard he's really rich and he and he has a $10 million building. Okay, what does that have to do with the Torah? Well, if he has a $10 million building, then he must he must be uh righteous. Not necessarily. People idolize people based on their apartment. Oh, this guy. Yeah, he has. You never heard? Oh, no. This guy has a $5 million apartment. So, they give you half of it to sell it or something. No, no, no. He It's Do you ever see it? Yeah, I saw it. It was the greatest day of my life. How pitiful is your life if the greatest day of your life is seeing somebody else's apartment? Or they idolize them based on beauty or based on their ability to kick or throw a ball or about how much money they make. All types of pitiful things. Rav Galinsky Shalom was once in a taxi and all of a sudden he sees that the taxi drivers yelling and screaming and angry. And the RA asked, "What happened?" The driver says to me, "See what is?" "No, no, I don't see." Why? You didn't see him cut me off. Pass me. Okay. No, you don't understand. He has a 1988 model. My car is 1992. How dare he pass me with an older car? of Galinsky says to him when we pray every day part of our prayer says we have no other king other than you but they pronounce things a little different than they say with a is he says so I guess when you went to pray. You thought that is auto which means car instead of you. So you're praising your car. Your car is your god. He thought that because he has a newer model other people owe him respect. There are people like that. People make fun of each other because they make less. This is very common among young people. How much you make? How much you make? I don't know. I make uh $500. Just $500. How do you live $500? I'm making 1,500 a week. How could you make $500? Stop making fun of their friends. But my boss, he makes 20,000 a month. He makes 50,000 a month. and they praise people based on superficial things and disrespect people for the same exact reason. When the truth is, as we learned from the we learned from the from the truth is that in the world of truth, more times than not, the people that look great in this world are small and disgraced in the real world. in his which was in essence like a not just his many that he had but also a journal of different events that took place in his life where he would write down what he saw what he heard especially dealing with the bukim in there he found out that there are certain souls that are great souls of Sadikim and there are certain souls of wicked people. And this is not just the righteous get rewarded and the wicked get punished but also it impacts the size of the soul. And one of the said that for it to leave is easier because it's such a small soul. Why was it small? Says it's as small as a peanut. because of how wicked it was and therefore its disgrace is so extraordinary that there's very little merits that it had. So his soul is tiny shrunk. There are people that they look great in this world with lots of fame, fortune. They're Saudi or Dubai princes that make YouTube videos and Tik Tok videos about every car they buy to add to their collection. Hundreds of cars, hundreds of houses, planes, countless watches. And in the real world, their souls are like peanuts. And the only reason they still left anything is because maybe they did something good at some point. So that's what's left. writes a little over 700 years ago in the second gate section 18 as follows. Know that the soul of the wicked, a soul whose desire is only for the cravings of the body during its lifetime, a desire divorced from the divine service, and thus a soul separated from its roots. When he dies, it descends to the earth to the place of its desire, taking on the quality of dust, which descends and does not rise. Nonetheless, it is brought to heaven to be tried and judged and that it may view how it has exchanged heaven for sha. This is another name for gum. The way a stone ascends when thrown from a slingshot meaning the way it goes through all of this is a slingshot. This is also called kafaka. After the souls ascend to heaven, it will naturally fall back to the earth. Just like the stone plummets back to earth when it thrusts is spent as the verse in the book of Shuel chapel alf chapter 25 29. May my lord's soul be bound to the bond of life with hashem your god and may he fling the soul of your enemies as one flings a stone from a slingshot. Our sages say concerning this in Midrash section three uh chapter 3 section 21 both the souls of the righteous and the souls of the wicked ascend above and are judged there. The souls of the tadikim are judged as worthy and are secreted beneath the throne of glory while the souls of the wicked descend once again scattered to the earth just as the verse says may he fle the soul of your enemies and says in proverbs 11:7 when an evil person dies hope is lost for there is no hope that The soul of the wicked will emerge from the darkness to light. As it says concerning the wicked man's soul in Psalm 49:20, go to the generation of of his ancestors, they will see no light for eternity. Here unveils to us the truth of what happens to a person after this temporary life is over. If they're righteous, they get judged in heaven favorably and enjoy the pleasantries of a kadosh for eternity only continuing to get more and more from year to year as their merits continue to add up in this world. That's why the says that both the books of the living and the dead are opened on because what you left in this world after you passed away continues to accumulate either merits or debt obligations. If you left good deeds in this world, you help people do chuva, they do more mitzvot after you've died, their kids do more mitzvot. All of that continues to accumulate and raise you to even higher endless levels each and every single year. While the wicked who write books like I didn't ask to be born or all types of foolish blogs that permit things that are forbidden like this apicose that people think is righteous by the name of Ephraim. He's an aiculose. People think he's great. in reality violates the Torah in every single one of his lectures, making fun of sages, saying that the Talmud is a book of Mak and uh and and the book of and against Hashem. He only likes the z complete stupidity comes out of his mouth, but people like the way he talks, so they think he's righteous. In reality, he's an aos. He has no share of the world to come. He's a meal. If you wrote a book that is against Hashem, not only will you be punished initially, but you'll be punished for eternity so long as anyone has any impact from that book still exists, anyone reading that blog, anyone listening to that lecture, anyone continuing to distance themselves from Hashem and from the truth, that obligation continues to go to that disgraceful soul and The punishments continue for eternity because the damages also. So the truly great the truly great people do their greatness quietly. They're not looking for attention even if they get it. They're not looking for popularity even if they are sometimes. They're not looking for people to know even if people find out. They do good because it's good to do good. They do their greatness quietly and they get to see the true value of their greatness in ABA. As the Kazon said when he first saw the street light that was installed near his house, one of his talid was walking him at night and Khazun saw the street light. It's like look wow look how wonderful this is. Why is the impressed by street light? He says look how much you can learn from this street light. The closer you are to the light, the smaller your shadow becomes. Just like in life, the closer you are to the truth, to the light of Hashem, the more humble a person becomes, the smaller they becomes. The further they are from the light, the greater they think they really are. But in reality, it's the opposite. Foolish people who don't keep mitzvot but went to a Torah day school one time or or learn something at some point in their life will literally fool themselves to thinking that they know the entire Torah. The more foolish they are, the more arrogant they become. But if somebody wants to identify someone that's great, don't look for how popular they are, how rich they are, or anything superficial. Look for humility. What's humility? If you open the gate of humility in written about a thousand years ago says humility is the soul's sense of loneliness its acquiescence and its lack of self-importance. It's one of the qualities of the soul and when internalized comes to expression externally in the form of gentle speech, a soft voice, meekness when angered and restraint and taking revenge when one has the power to exact it. A story is told of a king before whom a man was sentenced and a whip was brought for punishment. The king said to the man, "As God lives, were it not for my great anger with you, I would have taken strict revenge against you." And then he pardoned him. That is precisely because the king grew angry did he decide not to discipline the man for he did not think it proper to satisfy anger. It's related further on him that he used to say, "I know of no offense heavy enough to outweigh my weakness. How many kinds of humility are there? As he breaks it down, he says humility can be divided into three classes. One of these includes human beings and many species of nonrational animals. It is poverty of spirit and passive endurance of injuries that might have been avoided but were endured because one is ignorant of the ways to avoid them. It's found among foolish and ignorant people due to their slight knowledge and weak understanding of their own selves and selfworth. It's called humility by convention only. But in truth, it is spiritual pro poverty and blindness brought on by ignorance that has become that has overcome the soul and prevents it from seeking what is for its own good. Humility in a true sense is that quality which comes as a result of the uplifting of the soul when it's raised itself above any participation in the low qualities of brute creatures and when on account of its superior wisdom, nobility of spirit and clear grasp of good and and noble qualities, it is beyond imitating the traits of the lower classes. When this is followed by humility of the soul and loneliness, humility is a praiseworthy quality. Otherwise, however, it is not counted among the admirable traits and virtues of the soul by but among the reprehensible traits. For a lowly disposition such as this is like that of the beasts. So we see that the first type of humility sometimes you'll see certain people that act humble in reality they're not humble they're just fools they think nothing of themselves not because they are they have something to praise about them they really are lowly people on the other hand true humility ility is something that's praiseworthy because somebody does have something to admire, does have something to offer, but he doesn't view it that way. He doesn't tell people that way. He's in essence understands that all of his gifts come from Shim. And goes into the second type of humility. of how it's exhibited by an individual towards other human beings who dominate him, that of a prisoner in the hands of an enemy or a slave in the hands of his master. Furthermore, some people will be humble just because of the position that they're in, not because they want to be. Meaning that if they were the master instead of the servant, they wouldn't be humble. It's fake humility. The third kind of humility, and of course, I'm skipping around here for the sake of time. Anyone that is wise will open up the and literally study this chapter in all of the chapters as often as possible. The third type of humility is towards the creator may be exalted. It's an obligation that applies to all people at all times and at every place. The consideration of this duty is the purpose of this gate. One who has humility of this kind is called in scripture humble, self-deprecating, modest, broken, lowly in spirit, broken in spirit, crushed, tender-hearted, shattered in spirit, brokenhearted, and bowed in soul. When we speak of humility without specifying which kind, we will have in mind only this third kind, which is the highest degree of humility. To one who attains this humility, the way of closeness to Hashem and worthiness to stand before him is not far off. He will be accepted by the creator and be pleasing to him. As David writes, true sacrifice to Hashem is a broken spirit, a heartbroken and crushed. Oh God, you will not scorn. So we see that true humility is not an act. It's a real feeling. But if a person is only humble in front of his master, then that may not be real humility. If he is a lowly person and that's why he's humble, that may not be real humility. If he acts humble, but in reality, in his own heart, he thinks he's smarter than everybody else, that's not humility. Humility is something that a person is elevated by feels better as a result. It's not a lack of confidence like people think, but rather it's an understanding of where you truly stand. the greatest, most righteous and holiest people that ever lived the vid, Yeshua Benoon, all the greatest sadikim. Their greatness was clearly identified even before their scholarship was how their humility. So when you see a world where people are idolized and admired and chosen to represent the Jewish people are chosen for different reasons as a result of how great they look like they are, how successful they look like they are, how they speak. Then you'll see that this is a world of illusion where disappointment of yesterday is only forgotten by the disappointment of today. But if you want to look in the right direction and find greatness, don't look for greatness in the eyes of people. Look for greatness in the eyes of Hashem. And to find that you'll have to be able to identify true humility humility to and certainly people that are loyal to the Torah and therefore they're not on the same playing field as everybody else. They get judged differently and they judge differently. They get evaluated differently and they evaluate differently. They're seen differently and they see differently. But one thing that you will see is that their words and their actions bring blessings. May we merit to be part of those righteous people's lives. Have them lead us. Have them be the ones that join us. Have them be the ones that allow us to join them and be part of their life. Because following in their footsteps, we know we're following greatness. Everything else, it's just a show, an illusion bound for disappointment. That's how the Mityavnim were of past generations and the Mityavnim Zionists of today full of disappointment. Whether they have a keeper or not, irrelevant. If they think they're great, they're far from it. Hashem will find some people that are truly great. Great in the eyes of Hashem. and they're the ones that will help help us get to the salvation that we're all waiting for. Thank you very much for learning with me. May Hashem bless each and every single person that learned and is going to apply these shim. Support the organization. If you want to donate, you could donate on our website.org. If you want to donate to the campaign we just started for helping the poor Jewish people, Jewish families in Israel before this holiday that's coming up in the next couple of weeks. This as I said earlier is one of the primary mitzvot of every yumto every holiday. The Rambam says you must help the poor Jewish families before the holiday because when poor Jewish families are struggling to the holidays, it brings a a decree on the nation. So much so that I'll finish off with this story. Daral saw that there is a horrible decree inat at the time. There was a major crisis. I believe it was some type of plague. People weren't able to leave their houses. He asked to be he asked heaven to let him know what happened. And he was told that was destined to be destroyed in coming days. Why? What happened? There's a lot of righteous people here. were living there said because there was a poor Jewish man that was not helped and he cried to Hashem due to his misery and his poverty because of that the entire will be destroyed immediately told his go grab anything you can and run to this poor man. Give him as much as possible and beg him to please stop crying to Hashem or else we're all going to die. They did as the Rob said. Everyone with extreme generosity went to this poor man. He had no idea that the whole plague and horrible things that were happening was because of him. He just cried to Hashem because of his misery. They told him, "Please stop crying to Hashem here. We'll give you more than enough and anything you need, just come. We'll give you whatever you need." He stopped crying. The danger passed. The decree was canceled. Helping poor Jewish families is always important. But before the holiday, only a fool will ignore it and say, "I'll help myself instead." There are countless Jewish families that we know of that need as much help as possible. Please donate generously in addition to all the things that you do anyway supporting your organization and the Kiru and everything else. Push yourself more. And guess what says to the sages? Go even borrow on my behalf to do to do and I'll pay for it. This is the way of we always give a whole lot more than we even think we're going to get and many times we end up giving and helping a lot more than what we raise. But we continue we will continue and will have more and more partners that will be able to continue doing more and more to help bring more blessings upon those that wants to give blessings to.
