[מוזיקה] מור ורבותיי 10 days ag תשעה באב destruction of the מקדש all the sten in מסכת גמר all the story ‏the one עם ישראל destruction man רבן יוחנן בן זכאי מסכת ברכות גמ said what ר חנן בן זכי ‏stud when saw them he was crying he was crying asked him why they told big things about him they the of the ל why do you cry told them i afid i'm going to the trial of hem i'm going to the trial of hem and you know you cann briem you cann tell him stories you can האמת and i know ‏said i don't know there are two ways one one and i don't know if i go to גן אדן or גיהנם רבן יוחנן בן זכאי said it was a few minutes before he died he said i am afid i don't know if i go to גן עדן to גם ר יחנן בן זכאי רבן יחנן בן זכאי was in רוש the greatest למד חכם למד student of הלל הזקן so he und are going to ‏about the future of what will to our to our nation will we disappear like all the nations around the world you know years different generations ‏soom willen to us he decided to prevent it what he did he succeeded to run away from and he went to the emperor of the romans he met him he talked to him and the emperor liked him [מוזיקה] very ‏re will so he said חכ i want a small city נ i want to build there למד חכמים i want you to allow me to be cm there to to open small city and the emperor accepted ‏so established נדרין סנהדרין ע מ תקנות ע הלכות and he made students one of his students was רי אליעזר הגדול רבי אליעזר and his student was רבי עקיבא רבי עקיבא his students were רבי מאיר בעל הנס רבי שמעון בר יוחאי next רבי יהודה הנשיא משניות and then the גמורה we have now it came from who רן יוחנן בן זכאי he t it to his students generation generation משנה תלמד ‏we have he saved so the is a man that he saved all ofra a few minutes before he died he was afraid he said i don't know if i go to gan eden orom of course you is going toen you know sometimes people don't want to talk about they have humility ענוה no i don't know but not in this moment two minutes before he died he didn't li to himself when what he said it was what he thought he really thought he really thought he is not sure he is going toen why רבן יוחנן בן זקי knew what did he to himself ‏i think the story we when was standing in front of the emperor was talking to him liked him ‏and he told him any request you will ask me i will fulfill so immediately i will ask him not to destroy jerusalem to give me jerusalem so if i ask this maybe he will give it to me may to may ‏to you know we it's better to have one bir in my hand than to have five on the tree something in my hand so if i ask jerusalem maybe yes maybe not it's a doubt if i get it so i will ask for small thing yavne and ‏for sure i will get it i prefer to ask for small thing and i will get it 100% than to ask for major thing and maybe i will get nothing ושל so then zak was thinking maybe i was wrong it was opportunity [מוזיקה] may ‏may could in this world he didn't know if he could ask for jerusalem or not supp he would ask for jerusalem and he would get it was not destroyed we all of us כ all the time thought yes i did maybe i could make times more maybe maybe would for jerusalem i would get jerusalem maybe yes maybe not of that said i don't know

happen to that please please take care of your children i heard that 100000 children here in queens sefarad don't get jewish education 10,000 children w what a number terri so ‏if we go everyone family friends neighbors everyone everyone has influence someone can bring two three and another one can bring 50 100 you can see people coming shabbat to the syn and children come come with them ‏public school so now we see they come to the synagogue but what will happen later some places people say yes i want jewish education but i don't have money to pay to pay to the school i don't have money but here last week i met some organization ‏to support to give the money for every child that will public school will go to religious school jewish religious school they will pay for that so this is our i'm telling you i came here for that last week i had big appointment with some people they also is wean ‏all see what isen know over milon don't know to nothing know j sch sch ‏high school no jis one children tell me please who broke the you know ה tess of testimony yes in hebrew לחות הלח also the black black ‏black so loot the same word and he said who broke the loot nobody answered so he told one of the children you tell me who br the he got panic he said i promise you i swear to you it wasn't me i didn't break the he was shocked he told the teacher this is student ‏tey [מוזיקה] pr thep is school ‏the princip said you make so big isuse of i will pay for that we joke joke understand i was talking to in high school not religious i that joke telling you me nobody was laughing

the feel in every but who can be guaranteed that they will not marry jewish girl they will meet ‏high school girls will meet boy jewish nobody can it will not happen to me nobody so we have a way how to convince them and also you know the problems in america with drugs with education now everyone sees that the not jewish education is not education everybody can ‏uc no drugs drank nothing only ישב we can see it so this is also a way to convince people to do that so first of all i want to give ‏or חזק חזק בעזרת השם חק and to בעזרת השם also הרב הגולה i about that school that accepted to save he [מוזיקה] says ‏so רבותיי if we don't make make it this חס ושלם what we will say like חן ב זקי we have to be sure we are going to g aden so everyone has to use all the power gave him gave him mouth gave him brain to use it to have influence on people to bring more and more children י next i will here not next before next i will בעזרת השם i want to see revolution revolution jewish education
