[Music] we have a lineage we have a history Amisa did not start in 1948 when modern Israel started Amisa did not start when we got a uh the UN to accept us as a people am is already has generations and generations of over 3,300 years of history and that history is based on one thing Torah meaning if you have a person that calls themselves Jewish then by definition they're connecting themselves to their history they're connecting themselves to their lineage you cannot be Jewish without connecting yourself to your lineage why because Judaism is a religion which is is dependent on your forefathers it's dependent on something that started 3,300 years ago it's not dependent on is it's not dependent on uh you know and Israel the country it's not dependent on politics not dependent on on Netanyahu it's not dependent on Obama it's not dependent on missiles it's not dependent on war it's not dependent on anything on Zionism it's not dependent on any of that the only thing it's dependent on is on the Torah the Torah that started 3,300 years ago that we got it then that's what it's dependent on meaning if you want to call yourself Jewish you must be connected to this Torah the fact that your mom is Jewish shows that you have a easier way in you have a tiet but if you choose to disconnect yourself then you could be like this famous story that happened not too many years ago in Israeli prison the was a very famous Palestinian terrorist in the Israeli prison who tells a story he says you know I was in prison for some time and I was thinking to myself maybe this whole plan we have of getting the Jews to go away and give us the country maybe it's just not going to work Palestinians are just not winning they're not winning the Jews keep growing building and we keep losing what do we got a few rocks we kill a few people so I thought maybe this plan is not going to work but then one day I'm in prison and I see one of the I see that the um the guard is eating P EA p and I knew it was pesak so I called this guard and I said hey are you Jewish and the guard took you know was surprised that I'm even talking to him says yeah yeah I'm Jewish CU don't you know it's p your people don't eat bread on P and this guard tells me no no that's not for me I'm not connected to those things that's problem my grandparents have they did it that's for me it's doesn't speak to me so this Arab terrorist says I couldn't sleep all night I thought about it and I thought about it and the next morning I called all of the terrorists that were in the cell all of the Arabs I told him that's it from now on we're no longer accepting any negot negotiations with the Israelis we no longer just want strips of land that they could burn and ruin or we no longer want strips of land for us to just start something from now on we want the whole pie want the entire country so people ask me why because because those people they don't connect to their history if you don't connect to your your history you don't connect to your lineage you're a beatable Nation if you don't connect to who you are to your past then you have no future because we the Arabs the Palestinians we have a past we connect to Muhammad and this one and that one we connect to our past we're going to win the war if they don't connect to their past we can beat them and he was released from prison a few years later and he told the story and the story became very very famous and a very big embarrassment for Israel that's God and it's mamash a shame that the story continues now if you look at the negotiations of what's happened with the Israeli government and the Palestinians they've never been able to come to the table and negotiate anything reasonable because the mentality changed that day they no longer want peace they don't want a piece of land somewhere they want the whole thing that's the reality why because they say listen we don't connect to our past we don't have any connection to mosu so if you don't want any connection to mosu what gives you the right to keep this land and they're right the only reason why we have rights to this land called Israel is because hem gave it to us hasem gave us this land he gave it to mosu he gave it to is he gave it to abah and Jakob called it Israel it's your land if you say I don't want to connect to this andov I don't want to listen to what M says I don't connect to them I don't care about them then you have no right living there that's the reality if you say you have a right to live there that means that you're connecting to the history okay but you can't just be selective with what you connect to can't say you know I I connect to M but I don't want to listen to anything else he says I connect to abah and yob but I only heard their names I don't really know what they want I heard this thing called the Torah but I'll read a Harry Potter book instead you can't it's one or the other and this is this is actually something that's very very important to start the mishna with to explain that first and foremost understand that you have in order for us to have a future we must connect to our past we must know where it all started [Music] n
