Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein: Hoshana Rabbah 2020 Marathon

very very very important day um hashem leaves the books open from um from the beginning of ello actually rosh hashanah kipper hashanah tonight it is the spiesen of dublin hamelesque which we're going to talk about but very very important whoever is listening tonight what is ushfizen means that we leave our house which we're going to talk about a little bit because this terrible disease kovid has stuck us and locked us all in our houses but circus the jews barak hashem hashem has a special yantif where we leave the house and we go outside in this house of all of the jewish nation outside their houses on sukkos because boku should take us back out into the shulls and into the yeshivas and into all the places outside our houses we shouldn't have to be locked down anymore of circus but what through spies in which means it means that we invite into our sukkah even if i'm here alone sitting here this morning um i'm actually the morning before i shine around i'm sitting here in my sugar giving the share and today is yay and i invited you guys about sadiq to come to my to come to my sukkah so we see it's a very rum you said yakko moshe are you dumb we're inviting people into the circle it's very important that even if you're out of your house we're used to inviting people into our house but even if you're out of your house a jew always has to share his dwellings with others and therefore which reason is very important so it's a very very nice thing that we're talking about doing over here and that is that everyone should pick up their phone first of all you have a dinner give it up for aim so the first person you need to call is your father your mother and say a nice pride pirate to them and ask them to tell you with torah and you know there are there are some speakers i'm one of those speakers and and and one of the problems is that that you know people are listening to all these speakers but they have speakers sitting around their table how do you think you become a speaker my father oliver shalom when every shabbos i had to say it's about taira my brother had to say vartara at every single meal on shabbos so i got used to researching i like mom lawyers told a lot of stories and he and he he was very proud and he said it about all my friends who came to the table senator and and so we we you know it's very nice to listen to all the big speakers but really everyone you have speakers at your table your parents your children your brothers so i think it would be very nice of arab shabbos every arab shabbos we should call our fathers and mothers and said tara and the fathers and mothers who are listening should call their kids uh who are married and ask them for advantara and at the table everyone should say because because it's one thing to listen especially in this generation which is very interactive so my generation we just listened the rebbe spoke the parents spoke we didn't we had nothing to say but today because of the internet it's very very interactive in and out internet internet so your kids they're sitting there they have nothing to say it's they're not used to that and they they're very bored so yeah we should give everyone a chance to say vatara call your parents call your kids call your brothers brothers and sisters girls come and have drug terrors and it's beautiful and um and stories and then uh you know what maybe they're going to cynically be a teacher but you can be a teacher in your house and maybe a speaker and that's you know that that's how you become a speaker and i think it's very very good and very important and uh we see by louis spiezen that that we always are inviting someone even when we're outside the house it's so important as a jew in your house to invite outside your house to invite you going to school give someone a ride you see someone on the street that needs help give them help give a poor man something to eat it's a very interesting uh a very interesting thing with spiesian um and we're going to talk about we're going to talk about uh that we're going to talk about uh david mlf um because that's the sushi pizza tonight before we get to wml so i want to tell you something that my review i become leo um before you keep i was a little bit down um since i'm 11 years old for 52 years i um was in um i was in here to throw every yom kippur for for nila it was by the kaiser and this year of course i couldn't go um you know it's funny because every time you go to israel they say do you have an israeli passport no no no no american i'm american i don't have an israeli passport you're like sort of proud you don't have an israeli passport well i wish i had an israeli pass because then i could be an extra strong but i don't have an israeli passport maybe it's time to get one but but uh yeah um so don't be so proud you don't have one because we're all stuck over here but anyway um so so so i i asked rabbit on leo i asked him for some physic and um and he said to me that uh very interesting says like he said he said that um there was this very very big sadiq and a big rebbe and um i don't know somebody came to see the river and the he said something very not very not nice russian hara on clydesdrow and the rabbit said you have to leave my room whatever and he said i'm sorry i'm sorry i said no you can't be in my room blush your heart you can't be in my room so he went outside and he stood by the door and he said rabbit rabbit you threw me out of your room but can i stand by the door at least talk to you from the door she said yes you could talk to me from the door so so regardless said that that i could offer maybe we couldn't go to shrow but still he let us dab and annual kipper he hadn't been young on yom kippur so even though we felt a little bit out of the door but yes he he let it and he said that he knows that sadiq that that has heart problems and he has to take medicine on yom kippur and the person was very broken that he has to take medicine and kipper and i and he said to the revolution said to the person what are you being so upset first of all the kai abraham it's a mitzvah it's a mitzvah to to take the medicine but did hashem stop you from dominating on young kipper are you in a hospital you can't die can you dab it you can dab it so even though it's not a hundred percent what you wanted but he let you dab it on you okay hashem everyone who's listening wearing a sukkah yes it's a little bit hard there's a lot of politics there's a lot of stuff going on in america and the shulls right now today all kinds of things in new york and california and all over the place but can you be in your sukkah yes can you shake your lululemon yes can you dive into shana rabba yes very big thing to download it's a very big thing down with seeking also because it's double ml so smith it's a very big very big thing to save the hotel hilum tonight um these are very very important things on shana rabba um and therefore i want to tell you a story a story because we have we have a date you know we have to live until the end of hashanah but the books are still open very beautiful story that i that i read um this past week um about this guy this man was a shipwrecked and uh it was a big storm and the boat uh broke apart and he um and he was shipwrecked and he ended up on this island and when he got to the sand to the island so um a lot of the the natives they got him they picked them up and they made him their king big party put a crown on his head and they said you are the king he's like this is very weird they don't know me uh i don't live here i'm shipwrecked i don't have anything why would these people make me the king so he asked why did you make me the king why did you make the king he said no this is what we do what we do he suspected he suspected that something else was going on something else was going on so he made friends with one of the servants and he gave him extra food and he gave him extra money and he kept saying that you have to tell me why did they make me king i don't even know anyone over here so the servant said i'm going to tell you a secret but you can't tell anyone that i told you because they'll kill me if they find out he said okay what's the secret he said every year around this time there are terrible storms in the ocean there's always a sailor or two that gets washed ashore and we make him king for a year we don't want anyone to be king for more than a year because we don't want them to have any too much power he said what do you do to them at the end of the year at the end of the year we put him in a row boat and we push that rowboat into the sea if he dies he dies if he makes it to another show he makes it to another short but he can't come back here he said really he says every single year exactly a year to the anniversary that you become king that's what we do to you he's like wow what am i gonna do okay he was very smart guy so he had people build him a boat and he built this beautiful big boat and the money that he was making and he was gathering he put into this boat and he took the boat out into the water far not so far but far away from the island and the boat was there for the whole year and he kept sending you know row boats with gold and silver and jewels to their boat the year was up they put him in his little teeny row boat and said finished they took his crown off they took his kingly clothes off and said have a nice life don't ever come back here and if you die and see you die at sea it's okay no problem he took the rowboat took him about five six hours rowing and he came out to his huge giant ship boat beautiful boat with sails full of money and he sailed back home and became a very very rich man he wasn't a rich man at all before he was very poor and he used the year to gather the money and build the ship why am i telling you this story so it's a story of a person's life it says you come to earth and you're king for a certain amount of time you live on earth you make money you have a house you have a car your house in florida a house here house in the hamptons i don't know wherever you have a house and you gather your money and you have a bank account you have clothing you have all this stuff the problem is we're comparing a person's life 70 to 90 is 100 years whatever it is 120 to being on that island but at a certain point all right rasmuano would slumber should come we shouldn't know but after a certain point they throw you off the islands and you have nothing they have no bank account you got no house got no bungalow you got no cars got nothing you don't even have family because the person comes into this world the guy by your boy you come into the world alone and you leave the world alone right you leave the world alone nobody jumps into the grave with you a person leaves the world alone so it's like the king raise the king gets born wow i'm in the world i got food i got dead i got everything right all the physical stuff and then all of a sudden they throw you out in a little row boat with nothing a little piece of wood a box not a role mode it's a box of wood to put you in the ground you have nothing but what does a smart person do he realizes that nobody lives forever so he gathers mitzvos gathers mitzvos and he puts him in his boat and he does this all his life and then when he comes to the next world in kabul it's it's written many that they come to the next world and come out and and they put on a beautiful palace talis beautiful palace and and there's a light and it's a whole thing it's a gunsmith if you do the right thing it's not it's a beautiful beautiful thing to go into the next world and you have all these riches because you realize that you can't take anything physical with you you can only take spirituality with you that is what this holiday is all about that is the circus case rule that is leaving your house the meaning of leaving your house means leaving the physical world and going into the sukkah the the the can't be macabre it has to be something that's not permanent what's above you yes the walls around you can be permanent that's this world this world or the walls around you but really what's above you what's above you is forever it's forever and ever and ever it's this above your head it's forever and the lesson of success is to leave all the the materialistic things but don't think you're alone right now i'm sitting in my circle alone no you're sitting right now it's erevo shannarama you're sitting with the ushbees in abraham you say yes today is yosef this is when he was in mitrayam he was in ishmael hashem he was never alone a jew is never alone she was never alone so even when you leave when you leave the physical four walls of this world if you if you are like the king and you gather all the mitzes and torah and all the good things that you do you take it with you it's amazing you take it with you that's what the sukkah that's what the is here to remind us also very big before i go to wml just for a couple of minutes a beautiful beautiful thought i want to share with you a beautiful thought about the armament so we know that you have to hold them together the the lulav right so you have the lulav and you have the and you have the the aravos and the hadassim and you have the s string and all four have to be together one is the yud right the the the hadassim is the yod the lulav and they have to be held together so there are there are four kinds of jews and these are the four meanings on the right hand side is your hadassim hadassim have no smell but when you crush them in your fingers if you have an extra hadas you can do that it's it's it's the summon it smells very very good so the outside the hadas is plain but the inside of the hadas has a beautiful smell so those are people who who on the outside on the outside they don't you don't see them doing mitzvos but inside they're beautiful then you have the lulav the lulav represents if anyone knows where lulav comes from lula comes from a date palm tree right so the lulav is the opposite on the outside it's very sweet you have dates they're very sweet but the lulav on the ins the louvre itself which is in the middle of the tree growth from the middle of the trees on the inside it has no taste so those are jewish people who are on the outside they give tzedakah they look really great but inside they're not connected to hashem at all also good it's not the end of the world at least they have half then you have the arava the rubber has no inside it has no outside you can crush it all you want it has no smell it has no taste it has no insight it has no outside the aroma is the russia so the hadas and the lulav are both one is good on the outside not so good on the inside one is good on the inside not too good on the outside but the rubber is not good on the inside or on the outside he is the russia those are the three things in your right hand your left hand is the s string the s rig is it smells good on the outside and it tastes good on the inside the asterisk is the tsati it says to all that when you put the estrogen streak and you hold and you shake it they have to be touching the what's touching the s rig since you have the hadas the lulav and then the on the left hand of it is the arabic the a rubber has to be that with what's touching the actual s string so the russia which is the which is the a rubber has to be touching the tsade if they're not touching each other your hands are open which i see a lot of people do they don't realize that then you're breaking the you'd cave up k you're breaking the hashem's name so you're not allowed to do that they have to be touching why because a tsadic that doesn't affect the russia he doesn't touch the russia he doesn't try to help the russia he's not considered a tabit and therefore the estrig has to touch the rubber and then you have the tube in him one's good on the outside not good on the inside once we're on the inside knocking on the outside and you have the russia and you have the saudi and you have the whole jewish nation together and you shake them to the all different sides of the world because we're one nation we're all one nation it's not helping that's not touching the russia it's not it's other another thought about the armament we know that the hadassim are shaped like an eye a person when he when he shakes the arabian has to think about that this year coming amid hashem i'm taking on hashanah that this year coming i'm going to be very careful with my eyes i'm not gonna look at things movies and other things that i shouldn't look at i'm not gonna look at women i'm not gonna look at at other people's things and be jealous of them be very careful with my eyes that's the hadas the lulav is the spine is the shedra the shadra the spine is what the human body is built on this right even a person dies and the skin and the flesh is all gone in the the skeleton the skeleton of the person is where the person's built the veins the muscle and the fat everything is built on the scalp the skeleton of the foundation what's the foundation of a jew because everything in yiddish strategism is built on the foundation of the shed of the spine that is what you have to think about when you're holding the lulov the rubber is shaped like a mouth that's the shape the shape of a mouth you very take on yourself so so far you took on yourself you're not going to look at things you shouldn't you're going to have a moon and hashem you're going to surrender to hashem your whole your being the third thing is the mouth and we all have to be careful not to say washing around my shamrock i'm gonna be careful not to talk on shabbos to break all things about the week i'll be so careful never to talk bad about my parents to talk back to my parents or some language that i shouldn't use so you have to have in mind from that when you're shaking that rubber especially when you're hitting that rubber on the floor the mouth and then of course the most beautiful of the four which is the estrig represents a person's heart i will open my heart to others i will open my heart to hashem. my heart will be open so you're shaking and you're thinking four things one be careful with my eyes two and muna the foundation of judaism three be careful with my mouth and four open my heart to hashem and open my heart to clay straw i would like to end like to end everyone after the after tonight tomorrow morning make sure you call your parents ask your father for a good vactoria ask your mother for a good time or ask your brother parents it's so important to ask your kids so many people they have their kids call error chavez every one of their sons and their grandchildren and it's a one minute month i would just say one minute ago it's a connection but you also make them feel that not only that they're listening but they also have something to give it's amazing it's amazing it's amazing it's a very beautiful thought um so i want to end tonight in dublin ls uh we don't have time i'm not going to hold you much longer but um i want to tell you that when schwa navi was sent to find the new leader after show hashem said show would be taken away from being the king and he comes and let me read you the possible hebrew violence he saw he saw ali i live with the older brother without his older brother was very beautiful very tall very strong and he said ah i found the new mashiach this is a lesson i want all of us to take tonight that we're listening now this is not a therapist this is not a rabbi this is hashem talking to shmo do not think about his beauty well or about his height because he's disgusting to me because he was about guys this is what i wanted to say it's not the way a person looks walks in because you can only see a person with your eyes by shen giro la lev for god's tease all our hearts and rashi says rashi says even though you said you have the ability you're navi to see shamatha that you don't see only hashem knows what's in the hearts of the jewish nation and in the hearts of the jewish nation wherever you are is the love of each other and the love of god and nobody can shake that so my brother to everyone is that just like we did the mitzvah of leaving our house no lockdown leaving our house because wahoo should give us the ability for the rest of the year until mashiach comes to leave our house to go to yeshiva to learn torah to go to shul with mr like it was before to go to work to go back to our jobs to to do what we have to do in the source of all these days that we left our house and i've heard in california it was very hot and up here in the mountains it was very cold and it doesn't make a difference to us whether it's cold or whether it's hot even when it's raining people are waiting i was waiting here yesterday and i met somebody did you eat in the sugar when it was ready he said no i just waited until it stopped that even when he had a head there he said i'm gonna wait till it stops till it stops dripping see that i shouldn't miss so clyde throw we love hashem we're out of we're out of our houses and she give us a bracha media can i get me that we left our houses he should take us out of our houses and take this terrible disease away and bring us territorial menu thank you for listening amen
