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
