[Music]
I want to begin by by thanking and all
the sponsors.
want to thank
Eton
playing. We've been doing this for so
many years together and and every year
it's with a sincere that this the music
the song will
continue but this time we really mean it
miss Hashem it's going to
be I didn't know that my sister's name
was going to be was going to be
[Music]
mentioned it's the middle of
And every word that I'm saying over the
next few minutes, every word that I'm
going to say is it might be it might
sound like but it's really
dabing dabing for all of the I'm dabing
for all of us. all of
us. He says,
said a
word. He handed down a word to us to
explain the deepest meaning of this. The
Pik is saying, "Tell Aaron, tell his
children
not to
become not to be defiled by
death and the poison the infection that
death brings into the
world we've spoken about this there's a
here adds one word because everybody's
talking about rashi also why does it
Say twice to say to say tell the
children of
iron.
Sashi has his
mahal. Maybe Shim says a word and the
word
is means to
whisper. Tell the children of iron.
and whisper in their
ears. So
says we know that the Jewish people are
all together.
Every single one of us is
aiming. And the says that the meaning
of
aim is a
Jew who believes in Hashem's love, who
trusts in a
kindness and because he believes that
everything every single thing
is everything is from Hashem's
He looks around. He looks at his life.
He looks at the
world and he sees that the world is
filled with such
misery. There's so
much death. There's so much
suffering. There are so many broken
homes and broken
lives. Now because this
person this
cohain doesn't have to be a cohen by
birth mean this person this
Jew is very very
sensitive and because he believes deeply
in Hashem's love's kindness because if
he wouldn't care if he really didn't
believe in that then he wouldn't be so
hurt but because he believes that Hashem
is kind and Hashem is
good. So then he can't
understand all the tuma, all the
darkness that's in the world. And the
mash says that this person is in danger
of being
defiled by the presence of the
Malikavas. This past year and a half,
almost two years,
has crept in. I wouldn't say crept in
them. Alf has jumped into our lives and
all of
us
kahan who believe in hashem's kindness
and who believe in hashem's b love are
hurt are
hurting. Therefore, the Torah
says means that you have to be very very
careful. All you trusting and believing
Jews, you have to be very very
careful because it's so
easy to become discouraged and defiled.
doesn't necessarily mean that d of tuma.
It means that you become broken and you
lose hope and you lose faith and that's
the greatest toma there
is. So this is what Rabbi
Shim says that is whispering into the
ear of all of these Jews who are
hurting from the presence of the Malamis
in our lives in the world.
every time that we
hear of another wonderful person that's
taken from
us. We'll come back at the end to that
to that whisper is
explaining says
of
asks why is
it that the
kahan why is it that we see by the
kahan that they can be matama themselves
not only that it's supposed to be matama
themselves to the kim to their family to
their relatives
The Torah
says goes on to say that however the
kahanim should be mama themselves to
these
people. Soal says a very deep
thing
says that the truth
is that in a
family all of the members of that
family are y they're unika their
existence their lives all come from one
sherish come from one
root the sister the brother the
parents they all are growing out of one
sherish one root
And therefore says the Malikov pays a
visit to one of the
Mishbah when that world of tum enters
into that
family. The truth
is that the Malikov is is reaching every
single person in that
mishb because the entire mishba comes
from that same sh. It goes out of that
same
route.
Therefore, even though even though it's
that brother Lena or that sister
Khalila, that child, that father,
whoever it is that left the
world and the tomb of Misa, the tomb of
the
Malov is Ba has entered into that
home. But everybody in that
family, everybody in that family
sees the
malakamas tastes the poison of death. So
the kahan are already to because in
effect on a certain level they've died
themselves. They themselves have
died and we
understand that it's not just even
though it's the specific
But they said that the Jewish
people and
that is a big mishb with all the things
that are in a mishb with all the
laughter with all the craziness and all
the fighting it's a big big mishbah it's
a crazy
mishb but the truth of the matter
is when I heard Jen's name being
mentioned so there was the knife again
the knife
of that Saddic's murder, of that sadic's
death of her
child. All of us felt that knife back in
the heart as if it ever
left because it's a
mishbah. And therefore when is
whispering whispering it says in
the don't let
this drag you into a place of despair of
discouragement. Don't let it take away
your belief that loves you that
loves. It's so easy to slip into that
place. And therefore the Torah is
warning
us be careful of that
tuma that tuma of mis. So now the
question is again doesn't talk about
this but now the question
is if that's the case then what about
the
coordin is not allowed of
course say it says in the
parallel is not allowed to leave the
mikdish mdish
say what about the coord
See here we come to baby Shim.
because there's a
certain type of a jewel who's called the
coin
godle and we see that the coin godle
when we had the bame mikdash and mashem
we're going to see with our eyes mar
soon when we have the ba mikdish
that the
cogle is a
person who wears
the and the number eight of course you
know means that he lives in the world of
the
kadashim in a world
of in a world of
shishes mishk is the sim the crown god
lives in a world
of ms kalha
of the God lives in the world that's
that cannot be defiled by the
Malikavas. The kind God lives in the
world who's able to see through all the
darkness, all the destruction, all of
the bombs, all the
missiles, all of the broken families and
broken lives. The congalles is a
person who lives in that
place
lives. Just a few hours ago, I mentioned
I was talking to some of the girls that
came from Los Angeles that a few hours
ago one of the sent me a clip of this ye
this hostage the bashm he's he's free.
His name is Shmto, I think. to the Omar.
Omar Shm I don't remember his first
name. Shetov
and and
and this Omar Shmtov was asked how did
he how did he survive all those days and
weeks and months? How did he survive?
And he said that he was talking
to he survived because he was talking to
Hashem and the fellow was asking him so
what did you say to Hashem? So he said
well first of all the guy doesn't seem
to be from a religious background at
all. So he said that first of all I
would ask
Hashem like how's it going with you?
And then and then he said, "Oh, then I
would start to say, please, please,
please, please bring me home to my
family. Please bring the rest of the
back. Please that there should be
peace." There's a
world that's
called in that
place of where everything is
clear, where everything is as it has to
be.
In that place of she
hamish of
eight. It's a place
of of deashem of the understanding that
we're going to have when Msiah comes.
for the
godle. The crown godle
is the godle is mitus is of keshash.
It's the mitas that was before Adam ate
from the tree and after the end of all
of this
darkness when will we be back in that
place
of the crown guard lives in that place
of
minimum wasn't the coin
And yet the whole per that we're going
to sing in a few minutes.
Why is it that the whole world is drawn
now to especially as we get closer to
the
Bishia that years ago when I was growing
up we found the Koshi I used to go to
Carlin Stolen in Burough Park and there
was a little
minion on Ba
night and now just felt there were luck
and there was always by meron something
but the
explosion as the world is coming to its
conclusion in a good way and history is
winding
am and the Malikov
is not whispering. The Malam is
screaming in our ears.
The world is desperately, desperately
seeking that world.
of
writes tell
us that the sadik are more powerful in
their death when they're unencumbered by
this world. They're unrestrained by
their
bodies. They're more
powerful that sadic is more powerful
after this world than while he was in
this world. There
explains that because of
that he's able to be
machus and the he's able to bring a
downfall to the evil in this world from
that place from that place which
is that is stronger there than he was
here and says the same way he says by
shimsh
that the mem those who was able to kill
upon his death the Palestinians that he
was able to kill upon his
death were more than he killed much more
than the he killed when he was alive. So
we
believe
that and therefore we
say from that place you see how we don't
understand
this how we're stuck in the gof and
we're not anywhere near your madrega
we're not in the kadoshim we're not in
the azara we're not in the harabay the
harabas is occupied by those same ped or
by their spiritual
inheritors and all we see everywhere is
the
malamas and it
hurts it hurts every time we look at
another one of those faces
Everyone read another one of those
stories. It
hurts. So in that world of the
keskadashim, you lived in this world
like a garden in the
kadash. Listen how left the
world in the zut
in there we have a description of that
unbelievable last day of Shiman's life
and the sus of the idra and idra means a
room that's how most of
explain Idra zut means a small room the
room of
rabbi and the great sadikim the of join
together in that in that in that little
room that means that the house was on
fire. The entire place was on fire.
[Music]
the and then he sat
down means that he gave a big
smile and he
rejoiced I'm skipping you see the whole
the whole description there is maybe
Shiman tried to picture this Shiman
wrapped himself in his talis
this Omar and he began to say his final
words. What were the last things that
Shiman said laughing and smiling in the
day of his
death? What were the last things that
Shiman spoke about? Did what did he say
at the end as that fire was was raging
throughout the house?
He's screaming
out. Those who are dead cannot praise
Hashem.
day doom or those who descend into the
into the darkness, those who believe in
the
Malakamas, those who are constantly
switching their channels from CNN to
CBC, CBS or whatever BBC, BC, all those.
And he's switching from place to place
to see what the Malamov has to say about
the latest work of the
Malam. Now the Jews are to blame for
that. And Shim says,
was
alive. Remember I told you the story of
the when he went into the and the boys
were he went to test the boys in and the
boy was reading the at the end of and it
says that
[Music]
that
so and and the wasn't happy with how the
boys were saying over the how they were
ting it into how they were saying the
and the didn't understand that's what
the says it
says so the you remember what the did he
said this is how you read
The Rishim
says and
Shani
and are called are alive.
And the final final
words it's really very very remarkable
because it's the the last thing that he
was dishing if you look there and you'll
see in the last thing in the was talking
about was the of the god
going into
the now who lived in this world in this
dark ugly world of lived outside of that
world. He
lived he lived in the while he was in
this world. He lived in
the and therefore his life was the life
of of and is about to leave the world
and he's saying
over
the and he's speaking
about the beauty of the world about the
about the place of
the and then he says his last words I'm
sure many of you know the final words
that he said was a that he didn't
finished a
tim in in Bora Park. It doesn't mean in
in Tene or in Payek. It doesn't mean
even Lakewood.
It doesn't mean
Monroe in that place of the
of the of course ends with which
words left him when he said the word
Kishamasha and then his holiness took
flight.
Then his nishama left
him and went to the
mikdal and the tell us that he can tell
us how come the didn't let him finish
the
already the next
word the next word is the word they were
all waiting for is all that he was
talking about it's all that he was
that's all that he was teaching
The next word
was but after he said the
word he
died. So the swarm
sayim would have said the
word then in a second all the dead would
have come back to life. You know there
are unbelievable stories in meron. One
particularly famous one that we have in
this from Malis was in the 20th century.
There was a child that died over there
on there was a child that died on on Lak
Bay and and the mother left him and over
there inside inside the sea and left him
over there and the mother left him and
said I'm leaving I'm leaving Hing Bayou
and I'm leaving and everybody was
screaming and crying the whole place and
they locked the doors because there was
in there was a mafa going they were
afraid there was going to be a co over
there and it was and they locked the
doors and the whole place is crying and
screaming and people are running away
and carving themselves to run away.
And this mother is this mother who
believed and she
said is a is life and then they heard
the child crying and everybody started
screaming and they opened up and the
child said was crying for water and the
mother grabbed the child and she carried
this child away. This wasn't so long
ago. So the swarms say that if Rabbi
Shim would have said the
word, if he would have said the
word, then all of the Mason would have
jumped out of their
graves and the story would have been
over. But the problem was that the
Balum wasn't ready yet for the final
chapter and it wasn't time yet
for and
therefore baby Shiman wasn't allowed to
say the word those words.
So he left us. Maybe Shim left us with a
whisper. Rabbi Abba said, Rabbi Abba was
there and he
said, "I couldn't lift up my
head because the light in the room was
so
great is the translation into Hebrew
from the
Aramaic. I wasn't able to
look. I was
trembling. I heard a voice come from
Shamim and the voice
said,
so and we believe
in with all of the with all the poison
of the Mahabas. Here we are. We believe
in and believe that he's good and we
believe these we believe these
me and yet it's so
painful and therefore Hashem's kahan are
hurting and that's why they're beginning
to fight again and they're arguing again
and they have forgotten already a short
time later they're forgetting who we are
and they were one family and the Malovas
is after the entire
family and
comes he
whispers said Hashem didn't let me say
the word kai but I'm whispering into the
ears of every Jew that's in pain I'm
whispering into the ear of every
almana I'm whisping to the ear of every
yasum I'm whisping to the ear of every
parent whose child was
taken. And we're speaking to the ear of
every of every child who was ever
mishandled or or hurt by an
adult and who has who died when that
happened might go on living for another
20, 30, 50, 70 years, but was killed by
somebody when that happened.
And whispers into the ear of that child
of that person of that whoever it is
whoever is either dead or feels dead or
feels like they can't d anymore feels
like they can't learn anymore feels that
they did so many aas that they that
they've lost their of being in this
world and Shiman says
listen I want to invite you into
my I'm inviting you into my
room accept this invitation on a boy
matashin
For each and every one of you and myself
to enter into the world of the
Zorakadesh to enter into the world of
Pimat into the world of the Levy of the
Batan of Rabbi Aman to the world of the
tent to the
world to the world into the world of the
tent to the world that's filled with
with that can be that can bring a person
back to
life is inviting each and every one of
us into his into his room and
saying stop talking about about death
and
darkness. Remember how the
said brings a person
to means that you know why it's so hard
for us to be really really grateful to
really be grateful for all the good that
we have because there's always that
there's always that whisper of the yeah
you have a lot of good stuff but look
what happened to you your your your
friend died your brother died, your
sister died, look what happened to you.
So what is it to be grateful
for? Means that in the world of in the
world of the in the world
of in the world of a Jew is able to come
into that place. is able to finally
feel I don't understand you but I love
you and I thank you and I don't know why
but for some reason and somehow I just
put down the I just put down the and
somehow in some way I don't have an
answer to the question of what's going
on with the Mavis and I don't know why
this person is not
here because I love this person so much
and I don't know why she had to leave
the world this way but I'm able to feel
somehow despite all of that I'm able to
hear
whispering. Hold
on. And to see to see
smile and to be able to taste when you
learn the you're able to taste me.
You're able to taste mish from
the but instead of
the instead of feeling that you don't
have a shak you taste from the you're
able to taste and you're able to feel
and that with that taste
of here please forgive me now I'm sorry
I know you're tired it's
late there's a lot that's in my
heart and here
Bishim asking vishus in front of many
sadikimas in
1927 by the English calendar.
Elena my father to learn by to see my
mother grew up in his shadow
in
1927 went to Dav by his father's by his
father's oil by the dichu to his
oil and had a
minig would go into his father's oil by
the outside.
He would sing the P
of and in the
P at the
end said when he was there by
the fortunate is the one who gave birth
to
Now the way we touch that the way we
understand it is fortunate is the nation
that learns your that learns
your but said that that on that day that
themes that when you
say it really doesn't sound like we're
the ones who are learning from
But it sounds like we're going to teach
you
something because it should have
said fortunate are the Jews who learn
your but it just
says the ones who are teaching you. So I
wouldn't be allowed to say this. That's
why it's from
the you
know spoke what he had on his mind.
So
says that when the sadik leaves the
world and he goes to that place of the
mikdish so sometimes
sometimes
hides from the sadik in the other world
from the sadikim in the other world he
hides what's happening in this
world because what? Because we know that
is and we know
that and
therefore said that sometimes hide from
the what's going
on is playing around too much in the
world and so therefore hides it from the
sadikim in the other
world. the
Tsorus, the pictures of the little
babies that were whose heads were torn
off. So hides it from
the
says that we want to teach you
something. We want to tell you
something.
We want to teach you. We want to talk to
you. Didn't give you to see this. Maybe
is not showing you right now what's
going on in the world. Maybe you didn't
see tonight's
news. So
said therefore, it was left up to us in
this world. He says
laares to scream not a
whisper but to
scream that gave us the ability to
somehow educate and inform
the and that we're teaching we're going
to tell the sadic what's going on in
this world that hashem didn't let didn't
show you we're going to talk to you
about it we're going to scream that this
what's going
So at the end of tish and I told you a
story but not all of you were here and
it's a story that made a very big gra
and I want to end with this and I ask
you from that it's so late
This is something that was told by Rabbi
Riskin
and he talks about when he was a little
boy. He wasn't yet B
mitzvah. Listen carefully to the story
because it's probably the only thing
most of you going to
remember. See, he was growing up in
Brooklyn.
and he was a real American
kid and he
heard about he heard a lot about the
closenies a number of
times. My
father felt a very deep deep deep
connection to him already back after the
liberation when they were still in
Europe.
We all know that he lost 11 children,
his
wife and this child, Schlomoriskan heard
about this
sadic and that they
had they had
um bought or rented an auditorium in the
Beth Moses Hospital in Bedford
Styver. I don't know if any of you are
familiar with that neighborhood.
Watch
out. And he describes
how he wanted to go. His mother, his
parents didn't really want. It was a far
walk. What you going to see? What's
going on? What do you want to see this?
What are you going there? But he wanted
to go. So on a shabas morning, it was in
the summer. It was paras. It was Shabas
kisa. Now there's a lot of good things
that we lain. not shabas, but there's
also things that are uh opposite of good
because we have the that we learn in
right
the so he set out from his home on Hart
Street and he went to to the Beth Moses
hospital to see what goes on there with
the
closeni and he got himself his place the
guys let him stand pretty close to the
rabbi and it came came time to l the not
going to read to you the whole thing but
it came time to lane the and of course
we know that when it comes time to l the
that
the lowers his voice and reads it
quickly. So the bare did what we've been
doing for a long
time and he lowered his
voice and started reading the
And then he
says, the little boy Schmiskin when he
was older said and unexpectedly almost
inaudibly but unmistakably the Yiddish
word, what does he mean? Louder, higher,
louder. The yiddish
word came from the
direction of the om the lectern and upon
which the rebi was leaning by
mis the rebi first said quietly
lay it
louder the bkari stopped reading for a
moment everybody looked up from
the in shocked
silence could they have heard the rebi
correctly Was he ordering the Balk Curi
to go against the custom and to say the
out
[Music]
loud? So the Balkari just continued on
in a whisper
quietly and then the Rebi began to bang
on the um he began to bang on his
stander and he turned his face to the
stunned congregation and cried out in
Yiddish with a pained expression on his
face and fire blazing in his eyes. I
said,
"Haka." I said,
"Louder. Read them out loud. Read the
out loud. We have nothing to fear. We've
already experienced all the
curses. Let the master of the world hear
them." Not a whisper. Scream it out
loud.
He let him know that it's time for him
to send us all the braas
already. We don't have to be afraid to
say it. We don't have to whisper it
anymore.
Ku, what's going to happen to us? It
already happened to
us. and screaming out loud that even and
here it's a it's a scary thing to say
but
here to to say
again with
tremendous but belief in his loving
kindness to scream out loud
He said, "I was trembling and tears were
cruising down my cheeks. My body was
bathed in sweat. I had heard that the
Rebi lost his wife and 11 children in
the Holocaust, but refused to sit shiver
for them because he could not spare a
moment from the task of trying to save
Jewish lives by helping them get out of
Europe. He himself refused a visa for
America until the until his people were
saved." His words seared into my heart.
And then it came after Davening. So the
bakari laned out loud. And then it was
after
Davening. It was after MSV. And at the
end of
Musf the Rebi rose to
speak. But this time his eyes were
warm. His eyes were warm with
love. And he said the
following. Tyra. My dear my beloved
brothers and sisters.
Pack up your
belongings. We must make one more move,
hopefully the last
one. The Bam has promised that the
blessings which will follow the curses
will now come, but they will never come
from America. The will only come from
Israel. It's time for us to go home. And
that was the beginning of
kayat
in
so I hope I'm allowed to say with all my
friends that we have heard the whisper
of and we believe in your love. We
believe in your kindness and we try not
to we try not to hear the malamovas. We
tried to rise above it and to hear of
the but it's getting harder and
harder. So with all due
respect, your name means to
listen. We're asking you
listen.
Listen, we're at the end. Listen.
Y asking you listen. We're
screaming. We're
screaming for the braas to come for the
curses to end. We're screaming to be
able to finally pack our bags and to go
home. This should be the last boy here.
All of us will be able to celebrate in a
in a in a meron where there's lots of
room and lots and lots of cholant and
cougal and good stuff. and all of us are
and we're going to be together with and
all that sadikim and we're be for that
time
of we're going to be at that time
get to the airport.
What are you going to do now?
We're not doing it. There's no sign.
Nice.

say? Brother Carlo.
