Maamar Ma Tovu 1929 #6 Today Everyone Agrees w Outreach - Overcoming Tests

so good morning to everyone we're on in the materials from the friday and uh i guess we're coming towards the end we're going towards the end and here we're talking about a very important the kuda a very important point that we we find often mentioned in various ways uh pointed out that he he doesn't remember seeing this lotion and this is on the bottom of page 197 towards the beginning of the fifth fifth paragraph what that ever says this is the job the avoid the the service of every jew in this last galas in the heel date which is called the heels of mashiach what is our job our task is awaken the kuda the quintessential hayatus aspect of judaism of jewishness that's found very deep very deep left call yesterday you could you could say that from the comma from the comma the later till the second comma is really is really the um the the mission statement of this generation and it's this mission statement that drives drives the heat and in particular that drives the the barbecue hostage yes moishe of museum the gemara to come now if you want to be a stickler the gemara inciter the gemaran saita has a whole section talking about what will be during the now that the gomorrah says already 2 000 years ago [Music] so some people will argue that this is not new to facilities to belchamto but this is standard gemara so you need to you know in order to win a war in order to win an argument you need to know the counter argument if you don't know the other side they'll throw you uh [Music] a zapper in the middle that'll throw you for a twist you won't know where your head is so i'm giving you the other side the other side is that the mother says it already in saita and there's a very simple answer and that in many of his talks has addressed this in various ways and basically a number one the issue the fact is that the hood is getting greater and greater and greater so yes the chutzpah began 2 000 years ago but it's only gotten worse for the last 2 000 years so since it's gotten worse we're closer to mashiach because that's one of the signs according to the gemara that mashiach is about to come or that we're living in what's called the footsteps of mashiach the heels of mashiach that's one explanation and answer to the to the retort the next one is the next one is that the yazga the abundant hutzpah that we have experienced the last 2 000 years that didn't involve a level of assimilation of which began you could say from 1880 into the early 1900s and then post holocaust because if you look at his if you study history let's see let's say the spanish inquisition the late 1400s early 1500s nevertheless with all of the disaster and killing and everything else like i told you once i had a stopover in in spain and i decided to go up to toledo [Music] and i went there and as soon as i can get out i ran out because the place was full of i just felt sick walking on jewish blood so we've gone through a lot right nevertheless nevertheless i'm sorry for the noises the children the grandchildren [Music] so nevertheless nevertheless the the assimilation that began really post holocaust um we never saw such assimilation that that amount of simulation and that and that and the quality of the assimilation we didn't see at the same time we never saw such a balteshuva movement ever in history never never and these are facts these aren't uh these aren't made of bubble mices these effects on the ground the amount of people that are assimilated and the amount of people that return to hashem are are astronomical so when the mother says there's an abundance of khutsbaa the gabara doesn't talk about the positive aspect of hutzbah if you look into gomorrah in in insata it's just it's talking about the negativity of hutzba is there anything positive yes there is it's called the rebound and on the rebound you can throw the ball down the court and then it's a stuff it's a tremendous it's a tremendous uh breakthrough so the mother waited in a sense two thousand years for the hutzbayaska to turn into something positive [Music] did that does that give you some clarity to your question gives you a greater perspective okay but as i said this line over here comic book let's call this is no this is the mission statement of our generation and this bar hashem after uh studying and writing about bali truth i could say is a commonality in all groups from asia to khabar to the ira to the breslau movement makes no difference everyone today believes believes that there is a nakuda there is a good equity a beautiful essential essence of a jew that's there and you have to find it now it used to be it wasn't this way but today you know today in our century and the khasidisha groups of bells bhava satnar groups that years ago you know were so uh against you know putting on film with with jews that are not religious and asking questions how can you do that if they didn't wash their hands when the rabbit came out in 1967 with the trillium campaign to visit israeli soldiers on the front that put on film because it says in the prophets hashem hashem they'll see the name of god referring to the film shall rush and they'll fear you the enemy will run away and and everything everyone will have safety so the right of way there was the the the darts throne how could you do that if they didn't wash their hands and they never answered the questions because they are how they are halal questions see whatever didn't take the attitude is you know you're just a troublemaker right you're just a troublemaker no he asked a question he he deserves a legitimate halloweek answer and the rabbit answered those questions in the printed in his swarm the point being that was then 67 early 70s you know now it's 50 60 years later 50 years later and no one's asking those questions anymore the story i told this week on my uh weekly clip history clip i'll say it i'll share it with you now here in chicago post holocaust there was a a rev his name was rabbit sv here schmeizels before the war before the war he was a a rav a rabbi in a city in hungary called e i t z e n it's in the pest in the pest area of of hungary anyway he he came to chicago and he was like he was a hungarian and he was i think a a a a relative or a student or both of the sophomore rebel rebel title [Music] but he learns very quickly that chicago is not hungry and chicago is not sophmer and um you know if you want to build yiddish kite here you have to use a different approach i believe he was friendly with rabbi zalman who was the first shliya and rav of the rebbe of the frida karebe in the 1940s and he and he uh it seems to me he identified with him you know holocaust survivors including those of rabbinic nature many of them outside of you know the the the new york area you could say they mel they mellowed out many of them mellowed out in the sense that they just started to see that there's a whole different approach they need anyway this rabbi the vice in their love gained favor in people's eyes and he became an accepted rabbi in the chicago community it came the 60s and i'm sure he was mesmerized by the counter culture hippie movement to say the least and one day supporters of his came to him and said rabbi our son who you know we sent to the tells yeshiva in cleveland and he did very well from there he graduated and he went to toro vedas in brooklyn and he did very well there too so something happened in the 60s where he decided to leave from kite judaism he became a hippie and um can you help bring him back to you this guy the rabbi said yeah i'll do what i can i'll try to speak to him the next time he was in town he invited him in he called him in and he said listen i heard that you're living on eastern parkway eastern parkway is close to 770. it's also on eastern parkway and there's a little barbecue rabbit there he had known about the river because he sent a student named mendel greenberg in the early 50s to learn in new york he wanted him to learn in satmir but the satmar rabbit told the veisnerov he said an american boy won't do well in my yeshiva we have broken windows we don't have much food we have benches we don't have comfortable beds a chicago boy needs to have a normal place it's hard to imagine that the saatva of what supper is today with canada harder their buildings it's you're going to williamsburg i think i told you i was there a few years ago it's unbelievable it's on every few blocks entire buildings of yeshivas and schools and schools and to to think that in in 1951 he tells the fights in iraq don't send this student here because we have you know the the ability dilapidated building and it's it's not good anyway so the sapphire said send them to khabar 1940 and 41. and that's more balabatas for him okay and he did so that so the vaisnav had already a knowledge of the rebbe and and and chabad from the early 50s and here we're talking about 67. so he tells him listen go uh 1968 this is 1968. he says go go go to 770 and meet the barbecue ribbon and they can help you he says i'm not interested i none of this stuff interests me anymore goodbye so the love says to him give me your hand i want it i want you to give me your words he gives him his hand i want you to to promise and the promise comes through the handshake at kia scoff that you'll put on thrilling every day and he gave him his hand he gave him a sent this the story isn't finished but this was told over by the vice nero after two visiting chabad murkish looking back him who went traveling around rabbi bear leviticus today was the head of chabad in seattle washington and rabbi showing bearvope they went together [Music] and the weizener of in in 68 repeated to them this story and he said listen what he said he said i saw for myself the benefit of the laboratory rebels called to put on thrilling with people that's coming from the vice in the door that's not coming from us that's coming from him who was a follower of the sacrament yes yes hilo hillary following the story the the the boy agreed the young man agreed he gave him his hand he agreed all right direct you're asking what happened i can't tell you what happened he gave him his hand so the the the lights in the roof said in other words as a student of the satmareba at the time who was supposed to put them on film because they're not the pure hands and all that so he said a year that's that was in 67 the rabbit came out with it this was 68 a year later in the summer of 68 so he said but i saw for my so it seems like hillel that he agreed to put on thrilling and maybe he started to do truva you know what i'm saying i that part it was not related so i can't tell you but i would think that was regardless even if not the fact that he agreed the division of saw i mean why would why would he why would he why would he have recommended to him to put on film if if it's against talaka so the vaisnava said i saw the benefit you know i'm telling you the story i'm telling you the story because we learned here in the mimer that the nakuda sayados is beloved call yesterday so we talk about it you know it's in all situations in other words we have to especially today we have to know that this is the case not just in outreach but also in reach you know what it reaches our own kids and grandkids and friends and our communities everyone needs kiruf everyone needs this closeness so this is just i spent some time on this yesterday today because it's so important to understand that today today we don't have to anymore negotiate and you know i'm talking about to the majority you'll always find a a a troublemaker or someone who wants to start you know but but you know bells has yeshiva uh terrorism who knows something i forget the name for bali truva i mean you know you're talking now about it's it's it's as we say in halal terms it's the going currency you know if you don't do this the question is what's wrong with you you know yes well one group will do it by putting on some people on the street the other the group the garrett has seen them for example told you this in the past they have a group organization called or shabbat where every friday they'll send out their their their women people to to speak to women and to offer them shabbos candles it's exactly what the rabbit did in 1975 with the myths of narashtrapus but that's the point it's it's it's universal so here in the mimer what it's interesting from a psychological point of view it's interesting from the psychological point of view that um you begin with behavior to affect the heart and the mind yeah okay yeah okay right that's right okay and the the the style of how to begin with that behavior which behavior that differs fine you know asiatoria has its mahalak you know the khabari but it's all oriented towards a behavior you know what i'm saying um whatever that those you know that listen that's the beauty of life the beauty of life is choice okay we're not looking for robots we're looking for choice you know um someone said to me uh a little while ago you know i'm so happy my son you know made made a choice in this in his life lifestyle as a film youth it's not not what i you know what we but that's his choice so the parents could be hasidic could be lit fish and they're modern orthodox and or or their them is rocky or they're just the opposite it's choices it's choices you know that's the that's the the beauty and and we have to in a way uh understand it and accept it because if not we'll have a lot of misery and that's why there is misery because when you want to impose your ways on others imposing is different than i'm sharing the way that i think is a beautiful way now it's up to you anyway enough said about that let's go now to page 198 where we're at [Music] yes i just want to mention that in chicago you know for some time now for a long time there's been a white snare hater in chicago look at like that that's like you know it's for for years i mean i don't know when it started but i'm just mentioning it and i think it's grown over the years my understanding is that it's grown yeah so that vibe to the fader goes back to the israelites we hear from isis who i'm talking about he's the founder of it yes yes okay i just want to say another thing because he had velvet because he had a nice relationship with chabad i know one of his grandkids here in borough park was a massive talmud you know a real big talmud and although you know he has stopped believing leanings he always spoke favorite bible aboveage and he was interested in talking about you know different things in other words if a grandparent this is my point if a grandparent speaks nicely about something or someone and all that it has an impact generations down the road you know the same it makes a difference if they hear negativity you know they walk away with negativity you know and it's passed on you know they make with the nose you know what i'm saying but if if if it's positive and it's warm and um so the grant so you know they're still wearing that they called in the beaver hat and the struck is and the whole you know the the garb you know i'm saying real sakura guard but it's what's what comes from from the heart okay let's go to page 198 and we are um yeah we are one two three four five six lines for the top in the middle of the line where it says ki in because how are you able to okay he's making the difference let's go between avoid this happy ruling refinement and avoid this have this uh noise tests and basically said the refinement is the object the item to deal with the item to refine it and and a test overcoming and passing a test involves how strong you are so he says when you awaken the essential kayak your essence of your nephes this means when you reveal your very essence which is called you know there are five levels to the shaman nephesh taps into the practical ruach taps into the emotions the shrama taps into the seiko kaya taps into what we call will and pleasure roxanna and yejida is the essence so the rabbit says to to ultimately overcome any and all kinds of nissy noise it re it requires one to reveal their yakida udvekusa shall never and how the soul is totally bonded and connected to godliness the entire activity consists of one thing overcoming the test when a person is prevented from learning or diverging you have to overcome the test in actuality the lay bedanic very important you'll do that not by waging war i know but not by argument and answer sounds familiar right you're going to try to argue the case this isn't law this is essence essence means this is how i feel i'm not interested in anything but he says i want to just how would you answer this and how what would you say to this not interested i'm not interested my friend i know this is the ms and i'm going for it kiem lil may do espalier to learn and to darwin all and to do it with tremendous strength and tremendous vitality should take evo us from time to minute cloud it's the essential strength and again he says without any argumentation and discussion is this is the way to overcome tests so there is here's the recipe my friends how how do we overcome tests you don't you don't engage in argumentation and discussions you just know what the goal is and you you work to getting to the goal that's it later once you've passed the test then you can engage in discussions for all jews are believers children of believers by having simple faith to who he is knowing hashem is the only [Music] without questioning god god why'd you make a pandemic don't question don't think because you'll never come up with the answer that's what he decided because there's no fun of his why did god what hashem so if they here's the question avi if they are such if they're not such a great nusrama is not such a high mushroom is why are you giving such a them such a challenges give the challenges to rabbi akiva today's challenges let there be a kiva deal with the hippies let me keep it here deal with the drugs let me keep a deal with those these things no then you didn't give that you give them to us today why it's not fair so that says don't think about this because it's a good question i don't have an answer but don't don't let this change the course of action that's needed now ella to descend this particular soul bismanza at this time of malcolm zela tavase for his betterment you hear that the reason why these these lower souls came into the world now with all the challenges somehow it is without vosi and i think i used the article i read it yesterday that you sent me addresses this issue so beautifully this is latoya and youngest wrote that about his own life for who he is we can overcome if we were created now at this point with these challenges we must know that we have the kayak to overcome on the contrary to refine and to add light to commander he quotes the famous of god does not come with extra uh burdens upon people men people uh when god requires any something of us he only requests of us based on the care that we have saying and [Music] so it's his capital h coming to us [Music] when a person does as much as he can possibly says i'm gonna give you based on what i can do metaphorically speaking boyfriend so what do we say [Music] with all your might what is comprised of two words the most that you can do if we do the most that we can do which is in in in the realm of nature hashem says i'm going to do the most of what i can do for you which is the realm of transcendence because god is transcendent so hashem doesn't expect of us to do something we don't have in us to be able to do it but the maxim that we do have he says do and if i see that you're exerting yourself doing this that i'm going to give you which will enable you to go and break through in a way that you couldn't do it you're on your own and this is the answer to the question sometimes we say how am i going to get through this how am i going to accomplish this and the answer is you do the most you can do but give it a 100 and then hashem will gift you his 100 percent and with that you'll be able to do much more than you never and to complete the divine intent and purpose of why you why we were created [Music] to awaken the essence of your soul islam is saying to overcome the the test list here on top of page 199 believe me the title of it is to connect yourself with [Music] by putting effort into the words of toyota in the evening in the morning because most people work during the day except us we're adding bits all right the friend the friendly love the brother shaft the brotherly hood the king and ahmed estevez acquiring nice middles nice behavior and character above that comes from learning preemie saturday because i tell you the inner dimension of torah really gets you to look at yourself in the mirror so and we look and we talk and we discover and we work and we empty out what's no good and we keep what's beautiful this is what david malok says i've given to those that fear me lawsuit i'll call this joining us so in other words to overcome this joining us so he says he says in other words philosophizing it this doesn't mean you shouldn't understand the gemara you learn and the bushnayas and and and and and and and the swarm of course you have to understand but don't never never um abby asked me enoch who bobby jr avi if you look on page 198 god does not come betrunya note 5 hey at the bottom but alilah with a new analila is yeah hashem doesn't burden man with more than what he can handle so that's the word ali anyway the episode concludes with this that ever says that that it's the ocean so you think i'll i'll say to him all day or just read the schneider's or the description they read zaya right not as a substitute for understanding we need to understand twitter but at the same time we shouldn't forget the caduceus oasis so when you learn together and you say the words let's say even when we learn the mind the my mother and you're able to say the words to yourself you know it's it's it adds to the caduceus of of the learning the holiness you know i've i don't know if you've ever been to a shiite heaven but sometimes uh i've been to shirem where when the rav or the teacher you know as he says uh different parts of the sheer everyone joins in says the the verse or the chazal together i don't know if you ever saw that but i i have and it's it's not that it's a certain you know style of of of learning together you know what i'm saying it's like or like you know how how um when when there's um the kriya satora certain certain monday and thursday certain end of the korea there's certain sukkim that everyone will say together did you ever right that's what i mean it's like why why why it just they became everyone says together the last two words last word i'm saying that the the the caduceus is that ever the freedom [Music] um from after they go you know right yeah all right right right yeah but that's not master that's in the uh that's that's cola that's the diamond but anyway i i just conclude that they have it says here that the message is how are you able to overcome because you will invest we will invest ourselves in these things including in avas ray and the kenyan hamidos travis which comes from by by having real friendship and real care and this this is a way of of of overcoming like in other words what does that have to do with overcoming a test and a trial the answer is because that reveals your essence your neshama is is ultimately what gets gets a person to overcome okay kevin we'll see everyone tomorrow zeitgeist davis everyone take care bye bye good thank you
