everyone is openly declaring their
hatred of Israel and that's not
necessarily going to stop with Iran
things are probably going to get
worse so what is a person going to
do when the whole world is against
us the situation looks as dire as can be
it looks as dark as the
Knight and what is a PE what are people
doing they're watch watching the news
they're watching the news they're
reading the news they're spending an
enormous amount of
time looking at what's happening because
if you tell them watch a t if you tell
them read a seph t if you tell them pray
they may or may not do it but their mind
is still going to be stuck to the news
now I'm sure some of you have a lot more
news about what's going on in the world
and I do I don't watch the news the
little bit I know is the little is all I
know about the situation and that's
already more than
enough the reality
is is
that we have seen this
before and
tonight we will go through the battle
plan we'll go through what happened
and what will
happen the
page
26b and also in
the 551 the
first says that when the month of a
begins we lower the
Sim we lower the we have to lower the
amount of Joy this does not mean that a
person has to become depressed for some
people they want to be depressed all
year round so this may be a holiday for
them but of course
the person that's serving a is supposed
to be happy I'm not saying happy like
the fools are happy in the streets
dancing and uh doing all types of silly
things talk about a person has to be
internally happy content with whatever
they have whatever situation they have
connected with feeling joy and gladness
that they are prived to uh privileged
enough to actually have the ability to
serve hem properly to say every single
day to pray to learn Torah person has a
lot of reasons to be happy even if they
are in Dire Straits on a lot of other
things in their life if they're truly
connected
to and in fact the uh Tora says
in which we'll get to in about a
month in chapter 28 verse
47 says that when is betrays him when
goes off the worships
idols conducts business against the Tora
and does all types of things that
forsakes when instead of marching with
gladness for the tah they march with
gladness for
to
punishes and in fact
in elaborates on the punishment the
different reasons for the punishment and
one of the reasons one of the biggest
reasons says that Hashem punishes us is
as the verse says in chapter
28:47 because you did not serve AEM your
God Amid gladness and goodness of heart
when everything was
abundant when everything was abundant
over the last 10 20 30 years and the
Jewish world world was flourishing in
Europe in America in
Israel many people became more
religious but unfortunately not
everybody practiced their religiousness
the same some people practice their
religiousness through drinking and going
to all types of
parties some people practice their
religiousness by learning
to some
people understand that learning to is
what religiousness is all about about
and not just partying and going to
parties every day and some people are
fooled and thinking that no listen as
long as I'm happy and I'm drunk that
that means I'm happy
no to be happy is not a momentary
feeling it's a it's it's it's simply a
status of where you are with without any
stimuli but most importantly a person
has to be happy serving
a when you're doing when you're
giving even though that means you're
going to have less than you did a moment
ago you're supposed to be happy as a
result of having the privilege and the
ability to give
takaka when you're not able to work
because it's Shabbat or it's a holiday
you're supposed to be happy that you
actually are one of the few chosen
people on planet Earth that is forbidden
from working because of Shabbat or
because of a
holiday when they're forbidden from
having any type of relationship with
certain types of people of the opposite
gender same gender for work or for
person and so on because specifically
they're Jewish you're supposed to be
happy that you're not allowed to go out
with her on a date because she's not
Jewish or you're not allowed to go out
with him on a DAT because he's not
Jewish you should be happy about
that especially since you see so much
abundance you have the privilege of
walking around freely nobody's
persecuting you
normally you have money in your pocket
you have a job you have food family that
loves you more or less everything is
great and aosh says and even then even
when I made everything
abundant some even had abundance of
abundance where they literally became
multi-millionaires but yet when it came
to serving
with when it came to fulfilling the
Mitzvah of for the sake of Tora or when
it came to the mitvah of feeding the
poor when it came for the Mitzvah of
praying
to or doing any of the
other said one of the reasons why he
punished us and punishes us is because
we did not serve him with gladness and
goodness of
heart so of course a person has to take
this to heart
because this is certainly not just
something that happened it's something
that's
happening for
