>> The prophet Amos in chapter 5 verse
number 10 to 13
says as follows in the name of Hakadosh
Baruch Hu,
They despise the one who admonishes by
the gate
and the one who speaks purely they
detest.
For I know your transgressions are many
and sins are substantial. Oh, oppressors
of the tzaddik, therefore, the prudent
man keeps silent at that time, for it is
a time of evil.
When they even reject the rebukers who
say the [music] truth,
then they leave Hashem no choice but to
turn it [music] into a time of evil,
meaning a holocaust.
When he asked Jeremiah the prophet,
"Find me somebody that's rebuking the
people in any Kayla and I'll forgive all
of them. I'll give them more time
because at least somebody can help
people do teshuvah." The prophet
Jeremiah went from synagogue to
synagogue
and could not find one person that's
allowed to rebuke.
Hakadosh Baruch Hu says, "Now I have to
rebuke." Meaning I have to destroy the
Beit Hamikdash.
>> [music]
>> The Chida says, the difference between
et ra'ah and et ra'ah
is et ra'ah you can still cry and pray
to Hashem.
But when it's chas v'shalom et ra'ah,
like Amos the prophet is saying, a time
of evil,
then there's nothing that can be done
because the control has been given to
the sitra achra.
If everyone listens
to those that try to silence the rebuke,
to those that try to silence the people
that are trying to help you do teshuvah,
what they're doing is they're asking for
a holocaust, because it's either you
listen to the Torah and those that are
sharing the truth or Hakadosh Baruch Hu
has to be involved.
>> [music]
[music]
>> That a good decree that Hakadosh Baruch
Hu has decided to bring to the world is
never retaken back except once.
>> [snorts]
>> There was no rebuke where Hakadosh
Baruch Hu initially
told the angel before he destroyed the
Beit Hamikdash,
before he brought destruction to
Yerushalayim,
Holy One, blessed be He, said to Malach
Gavriel, "Mark them
with a tav [music]
of ink on their forehead.
That would be for the righteous people.
And the wicked people
should be a tav of blood."
Meaning both should have the letter tav,
and one should be ink, one should be
blood.
Obviously, this is all spiritual
speaking.
Malach Hamavet comes, the angel of
destruction comes, says, "Ribbono shel
Olam, Master of the Universe,
what's the difference
between these and these people?"
So he says, "Well, these are completely
righteous people. They kept Shabbat,
they kept [music] family purity, they
went to Beit Knesset, they put on
tefillin,
they learned Torah. The others, they
were mechallelei Shabbat, they were
worshipping idols."
Says the Middat Hadin, Yitzhara, argues
back,
says, "Ribbono shel olam, those people
you call righteous
also had the opportunity [music] to
protest the abominations that they saw
the people do, but they didn't protest.
[music] They didn't rebuke anybody.
So, they didn't fill the entire to one."
Hashem says to the yetzer hara,
"I already know that even if they would
have rebuked them, they wouldn't have
listened."
>> [music]
>> The malach hamavet gives the worst of
the worst answers, which is the correct
answer.
"You know, Hashem, that they wouldn't
have listened, but they didn't know.
They didn't know if anybody's going to
listen or not. Therefore, they were
still obligated."
That point, says the Gemara, Hakadosh
Baruch Hu took back that original good
decree to save the righteous people from
destruction of the Bet Hamikdash. And in
fact, says to the angel [music] of
destruction,
"Begin with my sanctuary.
Punish the righteous first."
>> [music]
>> When somebody asks you,
"Where was God during October 7th?" Or
they ask you, "Where was God
during the Holocaust?" As we've said
many times over the years, the answer
is, according to the Torah,
not only he was there,
he did it.
That's the answer.
What do you mean? You mean that he was
there, and not only he was there, but he
actually allowed 6 million Jews to be
murdered?
The first Bet Hamikdash, the second Bet
Hamikdash, the Spanish Inquisitions, the
endless pogroms,
horrible, awful disasters, [music]
endless suffering.
Holocaust wasn't the first Holocaust.
October 7th wasn't the first disaster.
And Hakadosh BARUCH HU SIGNED OFF ON ALL
OF THEM. It's horrible horrible things
happen to Am Yisrael when they do not
follow the Torah. And amazing things
happen if they do follow the Torah. So,
if you look at what he says don't do
and the consequence for violating
you'll see the Holocaust
literally.
>> [music]
>> You'll see
the pogroms literally.
You'll see the Inquisition literally.
So, if your question is where was God,
the answer is simple.
You should ask a further question.
[music]
How come Avraham
did not debate "Oh, that's not fair.
Where was God during" How come Avraham
did not ask these questions?
How come Moshe Rabbeinu didn't ask these
questions?
How come David Hamelech didn't ask these
questions?
Because they knew
it all begins with you.
Work on yourself first.
You become holier.
>> [music]
>> If you work on yourself
someone that cares about you will want
to go along with you for the ride.
They don't want to be left behind.
They want to live with you in this world
and the next.
