Shalom Rabbi yto Glazer from the depths
of Jerusalem underneath
the world above us which is just a
little bit over that way is the Temple
Mount you know sometimes I'll be
teaching around the world and people
will be thinking like this isn't very
relevant meaning Judaism isn't very
relevant because you know like first of
all where did it all come from who says
it's even true who says it's real Etc
Etc and and um and I once had someone
say that to me here inside like the old
city overlooking the Temple Mount itself
and he uh he said that to me and I
normally wouldn't do this but I slapped
the guy the guy was like whoa what was
that I said listen if we were having
this conversation in a class I was
giving over in Los Angeles I understand
that in the middle of Hollywood you know
Judaism just doesn't seem real it
doesn't seem relevant it doesn't seem
like matters at all but in the old city
overlooking the actual ruins of the
Temple Mount where we found coins from
King David who was the king over
Jerusalem some 400 years after Mount Si
like what you know it is so real so 3D
so right in your face like like nothing
else could be but we're in a very
special time right now where God has
sent us a direct direct message to let
us know that this is real it's not
called Israel for nothing here that this
is real and what is that message that
message is never forget you know I grew
up in Los Angeles surf for in La grown
up as a Jew we always were told never
forget never forget never forget and it
was a very strange thing to tell the
Jews cuz we're not going to perpetrate
holocausts so who was all that never
forget for even though we always yelled
you know said it to each other didn't
yell it it was for the Gentiles the
Gentiles should never forget what they
did to us in the Holocaust but of course
you know it was more of a Jewish thing
than never forget business what is that
all about well it turns out that the
words never forget is The
Words which is a quote from the Torah
regarding the fact that Amal which is
the the the evil that gets embodied in
people to prevent Israel from attaining
its Perfection which is interdependent
with the land of Israel the temple and
the tribes of Israel coming home Amal
has sworn to prevent that from coming
from ever coming back and so the lsh
never forget is for the Jews why because
no matter how far away the Jews go to
the point where Judaism no longer seems
relevant that they will that the
Gentiles will wake up you know like a
sleep cell of this nation called Amal
and if you don't know what I'm talking
about you can Google it Google the word
Amal in there and this nation Amala will
wake up and come back and attack the
Jews generally when we are falling away
when our doubts in the relevance of God
and Torah are at its strongest that's
when Amal shows up and in fact the word
doubt in Hebrew saf is the numerical
value Amal they're the same exact
numerical value
which tells you that when you're in
doubt that is amal's chance to rise up
and so what's the never forget the never
forget is a message to you it's a
message to you that when they rise up
remember that it is relevant don't
forget who you are don't forget our our
overarching goal our our our destiny
don't forget our our job on this plan
planet to be human to love to care that
there is a God that there's a destiny
don't forget your
destiny oh everything's become
irrelevant you're busy with other things
your mind has become you know spaghetti
on internet or on social
media well they're going to rise
up don't forget who you
are come home start now now
