Rosh Chodesh Nissan and Pesach - Redemption Begins Now {Los Angeles Shabbos of Chizzuk 2025}

so thank you everyone for coming this is such a for me um glin has already been by it here in Los Angeles in our home um I've been listening to her for many many years oh welcome welcome oh wow you know to say that Rabbi gladon is the most popular Rabbi in Torah anytime I don't really think does Justice to it I think he has almost 12,000 shurm online I actually did a calculation using my very Advanced engineering degree if he gives a Shear once a day that works out to be 33 years worth of shirim which is like unbelievable I think that's a testament to his commitment and love and passion for teaching now he just landed I think yesterday he's already posting on tour any time it doesn't doesn't stop I think one of the things that attracted me and that expressed his true love for tah you know every R has a weekly Shear let's say but usually like if there's a fast day he'll postpone the shear to the next day glassing doesn't stop if there's a she if the fast ends at whatever time he'll go home eat something and give the sh that evening the man doesn't stop me personally I am a spartic grew up spartic half half Moroccan half Turkish I I've learned so much of my from of from almost every sh he quotes Dynasty and the truth is it's not just about I also learned so much of of all and I think that's one of the unique character traits about the r his style in Torah is is essentially a window into the past Generations he is the bridge between us English-speaking you know Jews and the GM of the previous generations I heard someone say he's the english- speaking but but in my words he's he's what AR scroll did to us American Jews in the written form he did it in the oral and speaking form and I just want to express my to the um I just want to mention also one more thing personally that I have you know um grown from and that is my my you know in today's generation I don't know if anyone can say we really have kavana during and the r stressed this many times that you know you know maybe you shouldn't dve in with your cell phone on you and I really implemented this and I even took it one step further that on Shak I don't even bring it to into the sh I live it I I leave it in the car and my I don't get I don't need my Mya is completely revolutionized so thank you very much and without further Ado let's hear some words from the okay okay we're going to make it uh two separate uh topics thank you Yakov and uh thank you for opening up your home for this uh beautiful Mal the night of the first night of the year the beginning of the year first thing I want to share with you is a tremendous secret about the word Nissan you know n is 50 Y is 10 s is 60 n is 50 the word Nissan is the name of AES how is Nissan the name of AES if you take the shame you take God's four-letter name and you times each letter by yud so the yud will remain the yud is there to indicate each letter will be multiplied by 10 so let's say take the he y k hey hey * 10 is 50 becomes a n the V time 10 becomes a s v is six s is 60 the he becomes a n Nan is the name name of hem it's God's name times 10 all the four letters except for the Y the four letters of hashem's name the he becomes a n the V becomes a that is Nissan basically Nissan is God's name on steroids it's like hashem's name to the nth degree that's from because we know that every Jewish month has a permutation of hashem's name you know every Jewish month has a special there are 12 ways to unscratch or scramble the the four letters of's name Nan is God's name forward and it's indicated in the but the power of the in the month of Nissan is different than any other month it's Nissan it's each letter times 10 you know we're going to say in the should I speak in or we'll switch it up because we have we have some we say in the I would have thought you should say the tonight right you know that the the the says I would have thought you should speak about tonight now how that would go over with you know macaroni and pizza but the the says I would have thought you should speak about tonight okay so let's think about that for a moment why in the world would I have thought you should speak about tonight it'ses the Miracles didn't happen today the Miracles happened in 14 days from now why does the say I would have thought now if kazal say that we would have thought something that means it's correct to think that actually in the Shiva that I come from this is called the gor's initial position is called the havina right the the conclusion is called the Mas yeah so in Thea where I learned thear is what the thought the answer is only switching on one little Iota you know in most places they focus okay what's the's answer well the iar is the answer no that's wrong the iar is not the answer the iar is what the gar thought and the answer is only moving off of it um a millimeter so you have to understand the question to understand the answer that means it's correct to think that tonight we should say the the only thing is we can't because the Tor says you got to do it on the 14th the fth why would I have thought you should say the today so there are many commentaries of the on the the says other say well you know how long in advance of yam should you start learning the Y some say 30 days some say two weeks so in in deference to the opinion you start learning the of two weeks before I would have thought you should say the however the says you know why I would have thought that you should say the today the ritv says an amazing thing he says because you know one of the things we say in the is that God revealed himself with great fear do you remember that line in the what does the explain what does mean this is a revelation of the divine presence so I ask you friends where in MIT did God reveal his divine presence when did that happen where Hashem said hey hi everyone it's me when did that happen says two occasions number one at the yam where go where the people said God revealed himself at the yam the other was on when did God reveal himself we just read it today that means the first divine revelation to the Jewish people was today now that changed us forever the fact that God communicated with our nation imagine here we are we're slaves we we're down and out we're wallowing we're languishing in MIT and God communicated with the Jewish people when today ones that's beginning of the G because we weren't just physically enslaved in MIT we were spiritually Enslaved the beginning of the Redemption of the spiritual state of the Jewish people occurred ones therefore I would have thought I would have thought today we should say the and then I had a a thought today so this is the first time I'm ever saying this over in honor of my good friend rabak for opening up his home you know you learn more from your students so sometimes I give a sh but I don't even remember I give a sh and then Yakov will ask me you know question about it so I said oh you know I I spoke about that I have to I have to do that like you know we have this uh we have this thing 10 things to think about I gave a sh 10 things to think about when you eat so maybe the week after I gave the Shir I remember to think about the 10 things but you know a month later it's hard to remember but then Yakov makes the cards so what I sister to do if he's doing it then I the one who said it I have to do it you know so I have this thing on my table you know the things to think about I always think look if the people who I spoke about it to they're actually thinking about these things and I don't have an excuse you know anyway I had an interesting thought today by the creata Tor aside from the fact that today on rosesh was the first revelation of God to the Jewish people what did God tell M he said I'm going to pass through the land of Egypt on that night on the 15th God said I'm gonna Smite the firstborn I'm going to kill their oldest I'm going to destroy their Idols I'm going to redeem the Jewish people that's the prophecy that God said to mosha and AR ones meaning even though it didn't happen yet God said it will happen so it will happen in two weeks but he said it today so that means Hashem said the words I'm going to pass through Egypt I'm going to kill the firstborn I'm going to punish the Egyptian gods there's a rule which means basically when you say you're going to give something to Hees it's like you gave it you must give it there's also an idea if God says he's going to do something it's as good as done you know when a human being says they're going to try to do something I already learned as a rabbi say you know I call somebody up Ruan could you help me I don't mean ruen I don't mean you you know Shimon could you help me with the Manan he says I'll try I'll try means not a chance Rabbi okay I'll try means no if he says you know I'm oh okay good I'm going to put it on my schedule I'm going to put on schedule means please don't ever call me again you know if let's say somebody says I I I probably could make it that means there's a 0.1% chance they're coming you know but if God says he's going to do something it's as good as done when did God say he's going to bring the Miracles of MIM he said he's going to do it today so if God says he's going to do something it's like it's done so if you wanted to know when did it happen when did it happen when did The Miracles of Egypt happen you could make the case it happened on R Kesh why but it didn't happen but God said he's going to do it if hasem says it it's as good as done so therefore I would have thought you could already say the but it didn't happen yet you know that's by a human being by a human being if it didn't happen yet you're not confident that it will happen but if God says he's going to do it you could take it to the bank so maybe we should already start to speak about the so he says no it says you can only do it when you eat matah and matah you can't eat until P proper but that means it's proper already tonight to have a Mal and to speak about the events of because the gar has a a thought that we should um speak about the events of tonight that's that's what I would have thought I would have thought starts by this great revelation of now also very interesting is that there's an very interesting word in this Revelation that hasem has to M think about it the land of Egypt what every single time God spoke to Moshe it said in the land of Egypt in the land of Egypt in land of Egypt how many times in the last couple of parot did it did God speak to Moshe it didn't say in the land of Egypt why the emphasis on in the land of Egypt we know that already we know they've been there for for 210 years they didn't go anywhere what would I thought it was in Turkey why does it have to say should say you know the message of the message of the new moon God says this Moon belongs to you there's a fundamental difference between the Jewish calendar and the Gentile calendar Gentile calendar is a solar calendar solar calendar in the Solar year in the realm of the solar year the sun rises and the sun sets the sun is always the same size there's no change in the sun the sun does not wax and the sun does not Wayne there are no there are no cycles of the Sun and therefore the gift of repentance the gift of T was not given to the nations of the world because because they are sh it's old everything is old it's the same Sun that Rose yesterday will rise tomorrow will'll rise the day again there is no concept of renewal renewal is tied to the Moon the Moon belongs to the Jewish people the moon Belongs to You writes the Paradigm the model of the moon is a lesson to the Jewish people that just like the moon disappears and reappears and is reborn that's something that that's a gift gives to the Jewish people that we're able to recreate ourselves monthly you know my grandfather who was a holocaust Survivor would say that the one thing the Nazis couldn't take away from him they were able to take away your food your clothing your Talis your Tain even though my grandfather smuggled in a pair of Fillin into the the the worst places they couldn't take away the Moon you know the moon was something that they couldn't take away and the moon gave them tremendous gave tremendous that somehow even when you're down and out but there could be a rebirth there could be a renewal there could be Rejuvenation so the the power of is linked to the moon so we're gonna say tomorrow it's that is a Time OFA because the rebirth of the moon is symbolic of the T that we're able to do because just like the Moon is reborn we're able so to speak to recreate ourselves so this is all um part of the Power ofes Nissan you've just
