[Music] theem has given us a lot of Mercy by giving us more time to do cha so he can protect us seems like that chuva clock is running [Music] out it's not just the attack on the Jewish people a complete annihilation of the confidence of the defense system and mentality in Israel and Jews around the world but also how the rise in anti-Semitism Over The Last 5 Years culminated at at a time that it was supposed to literally disappear if we do Chua we return to Hashem we do what Hashem wants he protects us when we don't and we make a lot of sins and we don't care about our brothers making sins the cup of sins continues to fill up and asem shows us his uh staff to try to redirect Us by bringing us all types of anti-Semitism all types of hatred from the nations in order to get us back home and not to assimilate but unfortunately when we continue ignoring the staff of Hashem he brings a stick and a holocaust happens a Inquisition happens a prgram happens and this is what it's leading to right now a famous statement of never again that's been popularized and marketed and has probably raised billions of dollars from people that just you know made this statement like their Mantra in life never again the Holocaust never again if your eyes are still working and your ears are still working then you can see and you can hear and you can pretty much feel the never again Mantra disappearing into never Neverland and uh starting to look like I hope it's not going to happen again I hope we do cha before it happens again please Assam protect us from it happening [Music] again the book of Exodus chapter 34 Verse number 14 for you shall not prostrate yourselves to an alien god for the very name of Hashem is jealous is a jealous God this is not a teachings that's a singular teachings but rather it's across the spectrum of a Tora when you go to the time when we got the Ten Commandments in the book of Exodus chapter 20 tells us also that he is a jealous God you shall not prostrate yourselves to them nor worship them for I am hasem your God a jealous God now this term of jealousy is referring to an abuse of someone's trust or the refusal to give up something that is rightfully theirs and in this context of idolatry says Rashi God Alone is entitled to the veneration of the human beings and he will not countenance worship of other beings whereas a kadosh says for idolatry I zealously exact punishment in other matters I'm gracious and merciful in so many words he gives you time to do chuva but in the context of idol worship Hashem treats it like a jealous husband who's claimed that his wife has lived with another man and he refuses to give up the faithfulness to which he's entitled to in so many words aadh is a jealous God when we betray him by giving power to anything else it could be somebody believing in their own strength Beauty money power connections all types of things that people in essence put their faith into to and in order for us to be Servants of Hashem first rule is to know who we're dealing with where if we're going to be Servants of Hashem we have to be loyal to him so this is uh something that people need to realize so what's going to happen to our people it depends how we act if we do chuva good things will follow we don't do unfortunately bad things will follow and that's why says in the Mia is going to come and is going to bring Salvation to all of those that have done CH that have done has have repented have abandoned their Wicked Ways have abandoned violating Shabbat have abandoned immorality assimilation into marriage have abandoned the things that are against the tah and have done Chu he's going to bring Salvation to them he's going to save them from the ham of the generation so if we want to be part of it whether as individuals or as a people we have to do what the verse says what says after all the Messiah comes from him so I think he knows what he's talking about you're on the path of Truth you're going to have some people that put bumps in the world evenu had go against them so when you hear the words of the sages you hear the words of the say everything that they're saying you see that you're in good company you're seeing the you're hearing the words of what they're saying you're hearing the lectures of again M Kad you know you're hearing all it's all the common denominator they all went through this and you happen to be on the path too it's a painful path but it also succeeds and for those that went [Music] against if you're still alive you can still do chuba and just like you were able to get out of the path to gome that you were in when we found you you can still get out of it now you just have to swallow that pride and realize where you stand and that it's time to do [Music] Chua you succeed [Music] for amen amen
