Save Our Children! - Rabbi David Yosef

wife Roberta ten days ago we had tisha b'av destruction of the betta mikdash all the story about what happened there it's written in mass ahead getting the gamma tells us all the story what happened the one that saved a missile from destruction at that time was one men a ban Yohanan Ben Zakai in Mossad Bahat the Gemara said what happened when a ban Yohanan Ben Zakai passed away the day he died his students came to visit him they came when he saw them he was crying he was crying they asked him why lovino obey no they told you many big things about him they told him you are the light of the world light of a missile why do you cry and he told them I am afraid I'm going to the tile of Hashem I'm going to the tile of Hashem and you know you cannot by Bashar you cannot tell him stories you cannot lie the young I met and I don't know he said I don't know there are two ways one can head in one genome and I don't know if I go to GaN Eden ok no a ban Yohanan Ben Zakai said it was a few minutes before he died he said i am afraid i don't know if i go to GaN Eden who to genome who was a body hun and Ben Zakai a bonny Honan Ben Zakai was living in you shall I'm the greatest Talmud Hakan Talmud student of Hillel a second so he understood that we are going to lose to the Romans he understood better mikdash is going to be destroyed and he thought about the future it was the only one that thought about the future of a missile what will happen to our to our to our nation will we huh swish along disappear like all the nations around the world you know every 500 years different generations Sahasra selamat will happen to us he decided to prevent it what he did he succeeded to run away from you shall I'm and he went to the emperor of the Romans he met him he talked to him and the Empire liked him very much the Empire liked him and he told him you have any requests you will ask me I will fulfill so he said Tenley Yavne Oaxaca Mia I want a small city Avenue I want to build the Talmud aha Camille I want you to allow me to be calm there to stitch Torah to open Yeshe vote small city and Emperor accepted so he established their Sanhedrin sanidine in maitika note Amidala Haute and he made students one of his students was a B Eleazar AG at all Abby Lee hazel and his student was a B Akiva a B Akiva his students well Abby me Baroness a B Shimon bar Yohai then next generation of you Donna C of the Mishnah yacht and then the Gemara every torah we have now it came from who from Robin Yohanan Ben Zakai he taught it to his students generation after generation Mishnah Talmud everything we have he saved our missile so the question is a man like that he saved all of a missile a few minutes before he died he was afraid he said I don't know if I go to GaN Eden or genome of course in who is going to go Nathan you know sometimes people don't want to talk about themselves they have humility anova now I don't know but not in this moment two minutes before he died he didn't lie to himself when what he said it was what he thought he really thought he thought is not sure is going to GaN Eden why a banyan and Ben Zakai in you what he did he didn't lie to himself why he was afraid he is going to gain um I thought about I about that question a long time I think when we read all the story we can understand that when a ban Yohanan Ben Zakai was standing in front of the Emperor and he was talking to him and he saw he liked him he liked him very much and he told him any requests you will ask me I will fulfill so immediately he thought I will ask him not to destroy Jerusalem to give me Jerusalem so if I ask this he thought maybe he will give it to me but maybe it's too much maybe he will not listen to me you know we say always it's better to have one built 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 jaffna and for sure I will get it I prefer to ask for small thing and I will get it one hundred percent than to ask for major thing and maybe I will get nothing has fish alone so then a van hollen berserk I was thinking maybe I was wrong it was an opportunity maybe if I would ask for Jerusalem I will get it maybe maybe yes he couldn't know until his last second in this world he didn't know if he could ask for Jerusalem or not and about I suppose it would ask for Jerusalem and he would get it better mikdash was not destroyed we were all of us analysis I'll not exile nothing so although he did major things about Hanuman sky but all the time he thought yes I did but maybe I could make something 100 times more maybe maybe if I would ask for Jerusalem I will get you solemn maybe yes maybe not because of that he said I don't know if I go to GaN Eden because of what I did all the meet wrote all the Torah or maybe not because what I could do and I didn't that was a question I would like every one of us has to think about that we have to think beaucoup shame I see people here all of them Yasha mine Sadiq in playing every day learning Torah the filling Shabbat mitzvoth follow our byes educate the children at good schools banco sham but one day we will have to report to hashem what we did in this world we did like this like that we will same anything good we did but what Hashem will ask us what you could do and you didn't you could do with you borders for a messiah l why didn't you use the power I gave you to help the others that didn't have there's a hood to have to line meet what did you care about your

we'll ask every one of us you did you care about my kavod what about your brothers you well surrounded with many Jewish people they didn't give their children Jewish education over time no question chill learn without Jewish education ha special um who knows what will happen to them I met today one man I went to him his Richmond I went to ask him for donation I didn't talk to him about the nation instead I was talking to him about his son his daughters he said they are going to public school but rabbi they get good education in the house I told him what do you mean in the house in the public school your son will meet not Jewish girl he will not marry him he said no he's my son yes I told him yes you have the word love you know what is love he will love not Jewish girl what will happen he will not care about you we will not care about Judaism anything if he got education in public school big big chance he will marry not Jewish girl your daughters they don't get Jewish education they will go with whim yes a bowtie yes without Torah without Mitzvahed without separation from going we have no chance we survived 2,000 years you know every nation if they go to exile from place to place after two three hundred years they lose their undefined identification an example son he live Malaka show son Harry what he did he mixed the world he conquered one country and another country then is which people for me to he'll so when people live in their land you can't have the place after fifty years they will may will make evolution and that's it I will get them what they want so he took no one he left at his home everyone another place exile all the world he mixed all the world he was smart an example America you know what I how America is developed some people from England came to America with sheep and they started small settlement step-by-step it became a big big County and 200 years ago a little more they were fighting against England at the beginning they thought they are English they worshipped the king they pay tax to the king and then in Boston he started to be fight Washington came in it was a war and America United State became an independent country in the First World War Germany almost almost destroyed England so United States they did they care about England at the beginning no no why because although of 300 years ago we were cousins they thought but now we are different country that's it the length k8a nation the second world war if Japan would not attack the United States Germany would one for sure and America was standing and watching what happened to England so the blood connection they lost it they didn't have blood connection with England why it's separate country except one nation without country without land we survived for 2,000 years why because of Seamus Isle ashame elokenu hashem had that bazooka jewish people said it all the generations in israel in the United States in Europe in Australia everywhere in the world the same smile we have the same Torah the same set for Torah Sephardim Ashkenazim we survived how because of our Torah and now it's uh said you know people from Baja in Baja there are many decrees go him against Jewish people and they they kept their Judaism they kept it Monsieur would nephesh they were fighting to keep their their identification as a Jews and now in America people got money here they feel quite good and vice Wang Xuan vive at some people started to lose their and identification without my style without our I'm telling your husband alone who knows what will happen I don't want to say what will happen so we have responsibility rabbit I my friend are by Ilan me love I got last two years I got closer and closer to him and I saw I saw what he is doing and I know he told me that there are some organizations here that walk very hard to bring children to Jewish education no question of money some people support that if someone wants to send his son to a Jewish school it doesn't have to pay they will take care of that even that many organizations here but the children don't come there is Hill a big organization bear hug Allah last week I met them Boca sham they are doing a great job they have 400 children and they said we have place for 800 but the children don't come so habit I everyone should fill responsibility like Habana Hannon Ben Zakai he thought about the future of a missile you have to think about the future of people from bahara boo ha ha great place you know my father was living in Jerusalem I grew up in schemata baheim some people from Baja came to Jerusalem my father was teaching them every day to our Torah bocaj a mini tamiya a common became I had kollel in my place only students behind only behind Boris M 5050 rabbis I made

will give here it will give them an example look what happened to this what happened to that please please take care of your children I have that 10,000 children here in Queens Sephardim don't get Jewish education 10,000 children Wow what a number it's terrible a bow tie so if we go everyone has family friends neighbors everyone everyone has influence someone can bring to tea and another one can bring 50 100 you can see people coming Shabbat to the synagogue and their children come they come with them but they go to 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 tuition to pay to the school I don't have money but here a bowtie last week I met some people one organisation Ashkenaz they agreed to support to give the money for every child that will leave public school will go to religious school Jewish religious school they will pay for that so appetite this is our Mitzvah I'm telling you how Potter I came here for that last week I had big appointment with some people they want to walk also in Israel we have in Israel big organization of tamadate OA schools we have 172 school's baha sham safari all of them and we we see what is happening in our society no we have over a million children they don't know to say sham I sell nothing you know there is a joke we say in Israel one inspector and inspector came to a school like a public school you know in Israel high school not Judaism nothing he went to one class he told the children tell me please who broke the law hot you know Lu hot hot abrete tablets of testimony yes in Hebrew Lua no hot abuelo hot also the black that the icon eat its Lua blackboard you call it black bomb so no hot the same word and he said who broke the law hot nobody answered so he told one of the children you tell me who broke the hot he got panic he said I promise you as well to you it wasn't me I didn't break the heart he was shocked he told the teacher this is your student he answered so such a stupid stupid answer the teacher said mister don't talk like that about my student I'm telling you is a good boy I promise you it didn't break the law hot table so he went to the principal he told him look this is your school look I asked that question that was the answer of the student and that one answer of the teacher the principal said you make so big big issue because of some heart I will pay for that other time we laugh but it's a it's a sad sad job said job they don't understand once I was talking to in high school not religious I said that joke I'm telling you believe me nobody was laughing nobody they didn't understand the joke they said yes we didn't break the heart it's table so has fish alone especially children here can be like that if they learn in public school I'm telling you even if they go shebar to the synagogue they put a fill in every day but who can be guaranteed that they will not marry and not Jewish girl they will meet in high school all the girls will meet the boy not Jewish nobody can say 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 darks with education now everyone sees that the not Jewish education is not education everybody can say that if you if we want education no ducks no smoking no alcohol no dunk nothing only you see what we can see so this is also a way to convince people to do that so first of all a bowtie I want to give big big shocker to have Ellen may love his organization
