English.
That was a very good line. I'm very
impressed, Ari.
Khaver like this.
>> [laughter]
>> Now we all wanted another joke. Okay.
Like this.
Khaver like this.
But I want to
What I want to ask Yossi, if I want to
ask the khaver
What I
What I want to ask the khaver on the
Megillah
as the Al Yiftah Mechaverah Metukah
Locha, what I want to share with the
khaver
is there's a kasha in Krias Megillah and
I'm not coming for last year's teretz. I
actually have new ideas. I don't like
asking a question and like, "Oh, well,
once we sit what's hitting you? What's
hitting you in the question?"
I want to ask a question Shaimy and
Yossi on the Megillah that I think
Daniel we tend I think people miss this.
I have asked grown old men this
question. Like I never thought of that.
I think people don't study the Megillah
like present enough.
>> [snorts]
>> I've told you that the Baal Shem said if
you read the Megillah Mafriah Lo Yotzei,
means if you read it like he says if you
read it that it's not relevant. I want
to say if you learn Torah not present Lo
Mafriah.
If you don't like think what do I think
today about this Lo Yotzei not Yotzei.
I don't want to learn Lo Mafriah. I
don't want to learn yesterday's
question.
Anybody who studies the story, let's say
over the story, we've had got there
there I would guess out of 180 guys in
the Yeshiva, there's a number that don't
know the Purim story. It's fine and true
and sad reality. There's probably like
very good reasons. They want to
emotionally connect. If we say the
story, Ari, there's a whole part of the
Megillah
that's a part that's not necessary. It
doesn't add. It doesn't add take away.
I'm going to explain.
If anybody reads the Megillah story, so
there's an Ahasuerus. Haman gets rises
to great power
and that's very bad for us. Haman's an
Amalekite and his power translates to a
decree against Am Yisrael.
Ahasuerus has a wife, Vashti. He kills
his wife, Vashti. In this stead, Esther
gets in there. This is all part and
parcel, like very integral details to
the story. Esther's now in place to save
Am Yisrael to reform the monarchy.
If you follow the whole story, Danny,
all the details are relevant to us.
Except as a part of the story that seems
totally irrelevant.
Ahasuerus says to Haman, "I want to
reward somebody in my kingdom for doing
a good deed to me."
Haman thinks, of course, it's me and in
complete arrogance, he tells the king,
"You should let him put on the crown,
ride in front of him and say, 'This
person
the king wants his goodness.'" And he
describes a scene of dignity that he
wants for himself. It turns out Haman
has to give it to Mordecai and Haman
rides Mordecai through the streets and
Mordecai is celebrated and Haman's
degraded. Aaron's laughing. It's a great
part of the story yearly. It's so much
fun, so interesting. Haman's degraded
and Mordecai celebrated.
Yeah, for sure. But I don't what bothers
me, it doesn't help us at all, Jamie.
I don't know if you ever have, it's an
irrelevant part of the story. We had a
zero of destruction before. After it's
so schmucky, Haman's degraded, Mordecai
looks great, okay.
We were in the very same position after.
It literally seems like a little like a
commercial aside, like funny thing in
the Megillah. What did this help us?
What did it do? What's this saying? It
doesn't mean anything. It's so schmucky,
Haman's Haman could have played
pickleball also, Mordecai shut him out
11-0.
That's very schmucky that Mordecai beat
Haman in pickleball, but it does What
does it have to do with the story of
Purim?
With the zero against us, every part of
the story is a build-up, and each detail
is like very relevant.
This detail does not connect to the
issue. I'm very happy Haman got
disgraced. I feel great Mordecai got
honored. It has nothing to do with
anything. The zero against all Israel
was true. Haman with Ahasuerus was
clearly against all Israel.
Before and after the story, nothing It's
like literally we read the story in some
read There's a big shot in the Gemara.
We are the turning point with time.
This whole story
This whole story, this whole part of the
story, let's let's see it.
If you Just the context of this story,
just the context.
The kind of just when it happens
is remember that day one Esther has
opened up. Esther asked
Ahasuerus I have a request. She asked
for a party and Haman's brought to the
party. So Haman's feeling like a million
bucks. Him, Ahasuerus
and Esther at a party. Like he's feeling
very celebrated. And this is like a high
moment for him. At this high moment he's
humbled. But nothing changes in the
bigger in the greater in the greater
story nothing changes.
What's happening? Why is this what did
this do for us? I'm very excited Haman
was disgraced. What does it have to do
with the issue of Purim? It's just a
nice little story of Haman when he
stubbed his toe that day. Wow, yippee!
I'm thrilled. I'm happy the Russia got
punched. Mordecai won and he felt great
that day.
The gazelle of destruction toss and
ultimately Haman's downfall is the next
day. Esther and Amalekite the second
party says to Ahasuerus Haman wants to
kill me and Hashem Ahasuerus accepted
and killed Haman. This detail, this part
of the story seems remarkably
irrelevant.
What hits you right as I'm going to I
don't want to hear. What hits you right
as
this is like a notice point that this
part of the story does not seem to
affect the larger story.
Why is it here? What just a nice thing
like very simple
call you strolls worried about a
tremendous gazelle. We're in a deep
massive.
But Baruch Hashem Haman was embarrassed.
Baruch Hashem, what can I celebrate? I'm
very happy. It didn't help us. Be
present to that time. It did nothing for
us.
And for a day, I mean so for that I
agree with you almost. For that day we
must like smile. It was like a kiss from
Hashem. It's true. It's true at best.
And maybe so are you says for a day
Hashem's blew us a kiss. Could be. The
next day we were saved. So interesting.
The Yes is a long story of Galus. And at
the beginning there's a kiss. Here the
next day we'll be saved. For that day we
felt a little better. Maybe. I'm not I
have no agenda. And I'm willing it could
be such a We just read the story.
So are you said maybe that's what it
was. Hashem was sending us a little kiss
that day.
Just funny.
What?
You're not said it's funny this Yeah.
It's funny this
This is like it's interesting that this
chapter is such an unnecessary chapter.
We're so used to this
No
the cash. What do you What hits you
this?
But I'm happy. The cash you like?
It's a real cash. The It doesn't fit any
other Every detail this is a very exact
story. From big summer
everything's like a story woven to the
Yeshua. This one is like a side thing
nice. Haman got disgraced.
Mordecai got elevated.
What?
To the Yeshua to the ultimate Yeshua.
Zero. Like
Yes, Aaron.
Whether I I recently realized while you
were saying this while you were talking
about this summer
is that it can represent two things. It
belongs there
because
one it shows that Hashem
will not give power to those who don't
deserve it.
Meaning, so if they don't deserve power,
Hashem will not give it to them.
And also, without this part of the story
midah k'neged midah would not have
happened.
We wouldn't have known about it.
Because in the beginning,
Mordecai was more disgraced because
Haman
had commanded him to bow down.
So, therefore, Haman was in the top was
in the higher ranking. I like it, but I
like a lot what Aaron is saying is very
nice. Aaron's saying that it's
specifically in the Megillah that it
contrasts the scene of Mordecai not
bowing down
and he doesn't bow in front of Haman and
Haman's gezeirah clear to Haman
literally having some form of bowing to
Mordecai. So, there's some like there's
a midah k'neged midah there is that that
that's a very intelligent, Aaron.
>> Wasn't the turning point?
Like wasn't that when This is the
turning point, but but it it's the
turning point maybe in like, you know,
it's funny in sports if are you a
momentum believer in sports? Like in a
certain way momentum. Now, it's funny.
Like how else would it have played out
for Sukkot?
Like You know what I'm asking? I'm
asking I Let me just catch you up. Let
me just catch you up. The every every
detail you would have the Megillah is
every is all necessary for the yeshua
and every detail expresses all these
things going on that ultimately lead to
the yeshua. From Vashti being killed to
Esther being kidnapped brought to the
palace. It's a story of the yeshua.
There's one detail Haman one is gezeirah
clear against Klal Yisrael and Klal
Yisrael does it teshuvah.
There's that one day where Haman's top
of the world and then Ahasuerus
embarrasses him. Ahasuerus calls Haman
in, I have a favor I want to pay back to
a Yid.
It turns out that the favor [music] is
to Mordecai and he makes Haman lead
through the streets. Haman's disgrace,
Mordecai's elevated. It has nothing to
do with the issue. After that story, we
were in the same crunch we were before.
We had a destruction against us. And
that story doesn't seem even the
slightest relevant to our issue. Our
issue comes when Esther says to
Ahasuerus that Haman wants to kill me.
So that detail is
What?
Why did he do what? Disgrace Haman?
That's a good question. Very fair
question. He did want to pay Mordecai
back. Why he disgraced Haman is a great
question. The girl says it maybe that
will help us. Why is this connected to
the Purim story? It's like imagine that
day. There was one day. It was between
the first party and the second party.
The first party Esther called. But Haman
feels like a million bucks the next day.
But in that day, Haman lost the
pickleball game to Mordecai. I hear. I
feel good. I love that Mordecai, but it
didn't help us.
That's my question.
>> Rebbe that without this story Haman
would have been killed?
That would be then then I would have
many cash show.
>> [snorts]
>> You with me? Yeah, I'm with you.
Which means that the Susi and Melach,
who includes Sarvana,
would arrive at the aftermath of this
parade. Is that right? Yes.
So I'm in the garden eating my Zeresh
talking to her and telling him, I don't
know about this this K'vaya and this
eight K'vaya Mishmana that you built.
Maybe take it out. So they they only
knew about that
because Susi and Melach I'm in the
garden. That's what it says.
So the whole part this whole thing was
Maybe? Maybe? Maybe? Yeah. Yeah. Meaning
if that was there's no way Yeah. there's
no way that Ahasuerus Joseph, do you
have a question we asked?
No, I like no. Pass by. I want to know
the truth. I'm I'm open to shut them.
Could be.
>> you don't think it's the truth. Maybe.
Maybe. The question I want to get I want
Yossi to hear the question. There's a
part of the Megillah story that's
completely seems un un like no shiyachus
to the neis. Is Mordechai getting
honored Haman has to lead Mordechai
through the street? That has no
shiyachus to the neis. It didn't save
us. We had a gzeira of destruction
before. That story took place between
Esther's two parties. And Haman has a
downfall, but he still has a gzeira of
destruction and it helped us zero.
It's nice he was embarrassed. And but
the next day we have the same problem,
okay? After that great party, yippee! It
didn't change anything. So why is it in
the story?
Cuz Mordechai had saved the king. He had
saved the king when Bigthan and Teresh
conspired to kill the king. He knew the
language. He told Esther. I'm a double
agent. She told Achashverosh that Haman
wanted to kill. And so Mordechai got a
gishmaka honor. No, it's part. Like now
maybe I feel like Jews might No, this
could have happened.
So there's a gro that's very
intelligent.
>> say? He said something good. You could
say and this is this the gro says things
like this that there's a pnimiyus to the
story.
That Achashverosh was slowly distrusting
Haman and liking the Yidden. And the
fact that Mordechai saved his life and
he gave big honor to Mordechai and he's
like he made do notice Mordechai's into
me.
And then he hears Esther say that Haman
wanted to kill my people. He took that
that Haman's against Achashverosh.
There's a distrust building and that
came from here. Haman's leading
Mordechai through the streets and later
she says that night she says I want to
tell you a secret. Haman wanted to kill
Mordechai and his whole people.
So Achashverosh like one second. my
friend Mordechai? The ones who like me?"
So, in that groz geschmack, that's a
good pshat. And Yehudah is hitting that
pshat. The gro says set the way I
understand the gro, I believe this is
how he learns the megillah.
So, if you learn that way, the story is
major. Without this story, this was all
part of of Achashverosh coming to the
Yidden. So, that's why no Reb Ezri.
That is true. Reb Ezri says just that
she says
Reb Ezri is right. You don't even need
the whole parade. All you need is that
Mordechai saved his life.
That night he couldn't sleep. And he
says WHY DID I
YOU DON'T NEED THE PARADE.
REB EZRI IS NOT WHAT'S NECESSARY. That
didn't save us. So, Reb Ezri is saying
what saves us is that Achashverosh
should hear Mordechai saved your life.
The other part, oh, geschmack, he got
honor. It's not
That wasn't the change in side yet.
That's like the part of Achashverosh's
mind is changing.
The parade you don't need. He helped us
a lot cuz another detail that's needed.
That night he couldn't sleep. He said,
"Who did good for me?" And the people
said, "Mordechai saved your life." He
was like, "Whoa, okay."
Right. You could go straight to the You
helped us a lot cuz you gave more
information necessary. The Achashveir
the the the Haman embarrassed Mordechai.
>> Can I Can I Can we rewrite history?
>> [laughter]
>> How would I do it?
Let Let Let him not sleep. Let's say I'm
going to say like nothing was done for
him. Change the scene straight Okay, now
bring Haman to the party and they come
with There's a gallows here.
And I don't know what W is doing to
Mordecai.
>> Right. There is a big point, by the way,
that Ahasuerus sees that he wanted to
kill Mordecai. That's very important
detail here. Yeah, and tells Ahasuerus,
"By the way, he wanted to kill Mordecai
in his life."
Yeah. Yeah. So, it's very That's a very
And the Grus Madgish this. This, of
course, gets Ahasuerus very insecure
that Haman's probably my enemy, but has
nothing to do with the parade is like
Right. The parade is very like this
thing he marches up to the street. It
doesn't help for the I'm doing the
parade as you're showing Haman like
We don't need to show Haman
It's not part of the The Rebbi's asking,
"Why do I need that?" Every word from my
heeby maasha Ahasuerus and told the last
word of the game. Is all the Yeshua's
The nays is like set up this
What's bigger? Knowing something and
doing it like doing a mitzvah is bigger
than having it in your head. It makes
sense. I'm showing that I'm doing I'm
like helping the [snorts] you know, I
don't know.
I don't know either.
It's not necessary for the nays. Like
literally, there's a story Mordecai beat
Haman at a pick ball to show the smack.
Imagine that day like beat him 11-0.
We'd all be so happy. It's so good.
Except it has nothing to do with the
miracle. It's just a nice thing. And I
trust me, I could get I could rally
behind it. I promise I would all wrote
with our Mordecai.
He wins 11-0. It just doesn't really
connect to the nays Binyamin. Fair
question?
Yes.
Maybe it's like he realized in that like
time that like he's going to go down
he's going to go down so he gave him a
chance to like repent in the way.
It's a warning of going to be.
>> [snorts]
>> My My gut My gut to that, Donny, is
typically focus on us. I doubt I I don't
tend to view like things are happening
for Haman, who's a tremendous Russia.
Let's view for us.
Well, you also need to remember
You also need to remember in mind that
Klal Yisrael in the time was probably
thinking like we're trying to hurt the
Persians because
if Haman was on his way, we would have
all They would have been wiped out.
So, this parade is a very much a very a
much of giving them hope, something to
cling onto. For sure. For sure.
Aaron's right, and I would say that
towards Ahasuerus
that there's a messaging Donny, he's
saying there's messaging to Klal Yisrael
of hope. It's one day later. Maybe maybe
the day before Ahasuerus said hope. It's
like
It's not not necessary. Yeah. It bothers
me a lot. This kasha I'm not looking for
agenda. I'm not like Donny trying to
sell. I am saying that we have a lot of
work in the Megillah. We're like used to
the story. There's a detail here that's
like
There's a truth There's an hugger here.
Yehuda says there's an hugger here of an
similar to what Aaron said before of
everything flips around. So, now Haman's
walking out Mordecai in the but it's not
part of the nice. It's just trouble cuz
the entire miracle of the
This Megillah is pure simanim. That's
what it is. It's one big Megillah of
pure simanim
You know, in the language of Chazal,
kriyas ha'Megillah. The This is our
hallel, and it's hallel celebrating
this. That's what hallel is. It says
reading this is is kriyas ha'Megillah is
hallel. It's one big pure simanim
mefarsem, publicizing the miracle. And
the entire Megillah is the story of the
miracle. And it's brilliant. There's not
like a detail subtly each law each thing
set up is like exact. You could study
things that you'd be shocked at
from from his strange Xerxes which makes
people slow reacting to his later Xerxes
because of his crazy first cuz every
detail is setting up the miracle.
This one doesn't seem to be setting up.
This is one
I think it's the start of the Megillah.
It's not just he remembers,
>> [snorts]
>> he actually honored him. And then he
hears
that Haman wants to kill him. It's not
just like, "Oh, he did a favor for me."
I I like what he's saying more like like
it even's worse like and everybody I I
made a big deal of this and you want to
kill him. Yeah, fair. Very fair. I'll
bear shot, very very fair.
Something I want to read.
I also think that it leads to it. I
agree that it leads to it, but it's not
essential. That's the Rebbe's question.
I think the Rebbe's question is not
essential.
I think it's the start of the Megillah.
It's not essential. Why does it have to
tell me that?
There are a lot of other things that are
also essential. I don't know about the
actual thing.
Huh?
It's part of the main thing. Every word
adds to it. There are other things.
It's part of it.
It's the start of it.
Already changed it. The remembering The
remembering Haman was not the start.
The story of remembering I agree what
what we're missing. The remembering that
much And right before right before
Shushan Susa, right before Shushan Susa
I'm offering a thought. I don't know the
answer. I literally I did not like I'm
not like saying a casual setting up. I
don't know the answer. I [snorts] I want
to ask it's obvious we're supposed to
think about this. If you read the
Megillah, there's lot there's not like
some going on. It's obvious we're
supposed to think. I don't I I'm not
sure. I'm really not sure.
There's a thought that it brings me to
that I want to share with the Havurah. I
don't know the answer. I don't know.
It's like a And even the Gra, the Gra's
gishmak, it's still like It's not
There's something like the story is so
airtight and exact, and this is like
>> gishmak? I'm sorry. What did you say?
Aryeh made it even better. Aryeh said
that when he did a po'ulah celebrating
Mordechai, besides that Mordechai saved
his life, then he announces he deems it
everybody should say this. And then you
want to kill Mordechai?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Shirah Chadashah, we say before Shema
Yisrael, a new song, Shivchu Ge'ulim.
Ge'ulim sang Hashem. Shivchu Ge'ulim. It
calls Klal Yisrael Ge'ulim.
Now, when do we become Ge'ulim? Ge'ulim.
Ge'ulim are people who are ne'egal, if
you will.
We're called Ge'ulim, people free
people, Ge'ulim. Shirah Chadashah, new
song, Shivchu Ge'ulim. Praise the
Ge'ulim Hashem Hashem as va'asayam. By
the water, the Ge'ulim. Who are the
Ge'ulim? People who, you know, Ge'ulah
means redemption. Who were the people
that are called redeemed? Us, Klal
Yisrael. When do we get the title
Ge'ulim? After Ge'ulah, we've been
freed.
And we're now called the metzi'us of
Ge'ulim, people who have been freed.
They're Ge'ulim.
People typically assume
This is how people view Mashiach. When
things get very, very bad, we have a I
hear people whispering in Klal Yisrael,
"Mashiach's coming. Mashiach's coming.
Mashiach's coming." There's something I
don't like.
And it's a big shailah. It's a big
shailah. But people assume Mashiach's
coming. They don't even know what the
word Mashiach means. And Messiah is a
process. Rebbe Hirsch I've seen write
like this, Messiah is a process that's
happening. Somebody asked the Anouilh
guy, "Are you Messiah?" and he said,
"We're all Messiah." And he said each
person has like a piece of there's
something called Messiah ben David.
There's such a thing.
But he's he was trying to make a point.
It's not everything's terrible and
Messiah rides in. This there's a
movement. Things are happening now.
People are learning. We're seeing Kium
and Kibbutz Galios. We're seeing laid
Evan turn to laid Buster. This process
is going on
that are producing something. Things are
happening.
What I what I want to express is that we
can become the Golem before the Gola.
And Golem get a Gola. When when when we
get as we're getting certain places,
Golem get Gola.
When when when we think a certain way,
we behave a certain way,
it's not just if you get Gola, you're
called Golem. Golem get Gola when when
we live up to certain What I want to
express
is that Kla Israel in certain Matzevah
and forgets who we are. The story here
is we eat from the party. We forget our
dignity. We forget I'm a Yid. What is a
Yid about? I'm not just one of the guy
in. I'm not one of the guy in. I'm good,
but I have a certain role and a mission.
We forgot our essence, Marcus. That's
what happens.
Haman then makes his Zayda's clear.
The Yeshua is when we remember who we
are.
I want to express that seeing Haman lead
Mordecai and a Yid seeing the prestige
of a Yid,
that was a Gola in itself.
That is a Gola in itself. I'm Israelite
was reminded and they saw.
And now the gzera gets repealed. We're
golem already. You have. Seeing Mordecai
led was already I quote like an inner
goolah. There's a goolah of sorts. They
were like, "Oh, I forgot who we are,
what we're about."
The prestige and the coveted of a Yid,
that's the real story. If you know what
an Amalek is, an Amalek attacks the
dignity of a Yid. There's the middle
clappy mela. An Amalek attacks the
prestige and honor of a Yid. That's what
an Amalek is.
Mordecai representing Am Yisrael and
getting gedulah is an inner goolah. It
didn't save us. It saved us in a
pre-miscue way. It reminded Am Yisrael
and it coincided with us understanding
we're Am Yisrael.
I I point this out when you study the
Megillah. It's interesting that we all
rally behind Mordecai.
Mordecai seems to be the one who causes
the gzera. He doesn't bow to Haman.
Haman says, "I'm killing the entire
people." And then Mordecai has the
audacity to tell Am Yisrael, "You know
why there's a gzera against us? We
forgot we're Yidden. And it's because of
you guys for bowing. It's because of us
for going to the party." If you look
externally, it looks like it's for
Mordecai remembering he's a Yid. But our
leader tells us the truth and Am Yisrael
buys the words of the leader.
And and Mordecai HaTzaddik says that the
problem of the gzera is we forgot who we
are. Whether that means we ate from the
party, we bowed to Haman, we forgot who
we are.
That's the the gzera. Mordecai is
prestige and honor is an inner goolah
for us. That's what I want to express.
So, did it cause the external goolah?
No.
But it allowed us to become goolem. At
that point, and again, it may be even a
a sign that we were goolem. We accepted
Mordecai. We accept who we are, what
we're supposed to be. At that point,
Mordecai gets celebrated. And the very
person Amalek whose gezer kliah, who
denies the Yid, yesh naya mecha, who
puts down the Yid, is leading the leader
of the Yidden. It could be there's an
inner golem with that. That's what I
want to express. I don't know the answer
and I'm and I don't I don't say oh so
that's the pshat. There's a It doesn't
seem to connect at all to the outer
goolah. I want to express that we became
golem with this story. Am Yisrael was
reminded of of the Yid, of the stature
of the Yid. If I I've said this here
many times that before we davened for
goolah, in the Avinu Malkeinu's,
and this I want to bring this out to me.
In Avinu Malkeinu's, we say Avinu
Malkeinu,
harim keren Yisrael l'mecha, raise the
honor of a Yid.
The next one is harim keren meshichecha,
bring Mashiach. What comes before
external goolah? We accept who we are.
THAT'S MAMISH THE MEGILLAH. WOW.
>> HARIM KEREN YISRAEL L'MECHA is Mordecai
being led. Harim keren meshichecha,
okay, then Haman, that's the two steps
to goolah. I don't have an answer. I
don't have an answer.
I don't have an answer. What are you
doing?
Wow. Again? Hello.
>> [laughter]
>> Woo.
Harim keren Yisrael l'mecha. And then?
And then harim keren meshichecha.
>> [laughter]
>> And then? Harim keren meshichecha. When
we when we do Avinu Malkeinu's, we ask
Hashem, raise the stature of a Yid, and
then we say bring Mashiach.
So there's a goolah that the Yid is
restored to his dignity. I don't know.
So step one that Mordecai is led is the
restoration of Am Yisrael as our pride,
that we're precious. the story. That's
part of goolah, recognizing the bigness
of a Yid. Mordechai being led on the
horse, our leaders being given covered.
That covered is part of Geulah, the
covered of a Yid.
>> Hello, you just The next step, we're
still in danger, but we have covered.
The Yid is respected.
I'm saying that Geulah comes in two
parts. The Yid returns to his dignity as
part one.
And then there's a second part as
Mashiach. Mordechai being led is the
dignity of the Yid is res- stored. And
remember, Amalek attacks the dignity of
a Yid.
That's the Pnimi'us thing. A Yid Horim
Koru Yisroel Omeichu. Let a Yid be But I
want to say this. And it it angers us.
All people ripping Yidden angers us. And
there's something that's hidden.
It's I admit we're all so scared. See,
when we hear people I have two emotions
in me. When I hear
people I don't want to say his name in
the base such people in the right
ripping Yidden. I am scared. I'm also
indignified. We're good people. No, it's
knock it off. We're good people. We're
mamish good. We're good for a country.
We're loyal. We're actually honest
people. We're the most honest people.
They like showing one Yid cheated.
Yidden are honest people.
A Yid cheated, shame. It's a good It's a
story because the people are we're we're
shaming the Torah mitzvahs. Y- It's
amazing. Go to a park. Who says thank
you to the park the most?
Trillion times more than anybody else.
Yeah. Yidden.
Pashu, we're good
I was very upset. I was at a Pesach
hotel. Somebody knocked the Yidden's
behavior at the park. It bothered me.
Bothered me because we're very good
people. Did one Yid make a mistake?
Typically, the best behaved Who does
anybody say more thank yous than Yidden?
Typically, it was Now, if somebody's
dishonest, I'm not I'm I'm upset at that
Yid. Is there a Yid who's dishonest?
There's prob- There's There exists in
our people a certain distrust of
They actually understand. We've been
beaten pretty bad pretty recently. We're
actually a people that are honest, that
are dignified, that are appreciative.
It's funny Shimmy, they had last year I
went with my family. What's that group
that helps Rebbeim? What are they
called?
As they leave. So I went to the
amusement park. Someone made an
announcement that from them that we've
never gotten so many It's all the people
who tell people say thank you were
there.
They said like, "Please stop thanking."
Like you know what I'm saying? Like
[laughter]
It was all the Rebbeim and Morris. Like
all the people who tell kids all day say
thank you were there. It's like they
said we never heard so many thank yous
in our life there.
Uh uh
let's hear Simon.
I'm thinking of two things but I'm not
sure. Before if anyone writes through
that I first of all I love what Simon
says and I love people that aren't sure.
I want to say that. I'm thinking of two
things but I'm not sure. I like that. I
like that. I like that. People that are
sure get me very nervous cuz Hashem's
vada don't be a vada. Maybe maybe but
First, maybe it really did affect the
final outcome. When Haman built the 50
amos high gallows to hang Mordecai, that
whole process ended up causing Ahasuerus
to change it. Instead of being for
Mordecai it became for Haman. So besides
the
the perhaps this is also part of the
chain of events that influenced
throughout the outcome.
He says in parentheses the people regain
their faith. When the people have faith
there's geulah.
He said ba'al mishpat the geulah
b'minyan. I like that. [applause]
He said that He said ba'al mishpat. I
like that.
That's interesting.
That's that He asked a good catch. Simon
ended up asking that Hashem is Mashpil
Ge'im. He takes arrogant people and
buries them. And Simon asked, "Haman got
it too slowly, like in two steps."
But when he gets like killed, he'd
already been like humbled. He would have
like let him be at his max. It says it
says Ki Ga'avah like the Mitzri was was
was was was sunk with his horse. Simon
asked, "Why does Hashem first beat Haman
down and then kill him?
Take him at his height."
When Haman gets killed, he'd already
been Mevuyash a day before. Simon asked,
"Nail him at his height. Mashpil Ge'im,
like hit him where he's Hashem almost
like works slowly. First he Why the two
steps?"
It is good Yeah, that as he says it's
very close to each other. It was a
couple of days apart. It's interesting
that it happened almost slowly, not like
bang. But I'm saying the Geulah the same
way.
Horeb Keren Yisrael Machan and then
Horeb Keren Mashiach.
A restoration of the pride of the Yid.
But that created a that created a sense
where look at us. People were proud.
Look look at Am Yisrael. Look at our
leader.
Yeah, I'm I'm I want to express that I
don't I'm like grappling. I don't like I
said the answer even why does Hashem
work this way? There's what to work on.
There's what to think about. I'm
we're we're studying here. We're
studying. We're trying to connect. It's
interesting that step one that Simon
said this himself. Klal Yisrael the day
before is starting to like feel pumped.
And in essence, even though that doesn't
cause our Yeshua, I'm claiming that
inner Yeshua of a restoration of Keren
Yisrael will like we're feeling better.
That That that causes further Geulahs.
That's how works.
That's how I'm claiming.
Interest it's interesting that we leave
we have one year. It's interesting and
again I don't know what's going on. We
have one year where we party
and then we leave. It's it happens to be
pretty similar. We have a year where we
don't get out yet but we're like we're
saved when I'm in servitude. It's
interesting. It's interesting the gala
starts the other way. The gala starts
that first you
them and then you do bad. It's an exact
opposite of gala.
Gala goes in your
they not
they say bad things.
Then you
start you rip somebody and then you kill
and then and then you defeat them. Who
always you praise and then you redeem.
It's funny that it happens exact that
there's something here. I want to think
more.
Gala happens you rip somebody you make
fun and then you bring them down. Gala
is you lift up and then you bring them
out.
I can I can I can I can I say a funny
thing that I thought about just when
people take out the Torah. When people
take out the Torah so I always catch
myself saying to the guy up and out up
and out because if you know how this
works you have to pick it up then pull
it out up and out. And that's how gala
happens up and out up and out. First
there's
up and out up and out. I thought of that
difference as the guys open up that arm
up and out. That's like always the
message to the guy up and out. It's the
true and it's true in how people grow in
general understanding.
I I if if somebody understands this
Yeshiva
there's a certain way of working with
people.
If when I go around, I don't like giving
musser and
you know, we have to work on more
gratitude. We're grateful.
Great gratitude is not something you
work on. It's something you tap into.
Gratitude any human being is grateful.
When a guy is not grateful, he's not
present to himself. Nobody has to work
on being grateful. Now you have to be
more aware maybe saying it will be more
gratitude is natural. If you're not
being grateful, figure out what's the
blockage. Gratitude Nobody works getting
a million dollars
being appreciative. You're appreciative
cuz you got it. If somebody is not
appreciative, then there's something
there's a blockage. Every minute is
there. The neshama was the
In the Yeshiva you don't hear talk here
you who do. We have to tell people they
don't understand people. People are
neshama. We have to help access it. When
I speak, I like I like encouraging
understanding. I like speaking how great
we are. So if you gather people to tell
them how great
If we could get people to be in touch
with neshama, they'll have more
gratitude. They'll have they'll have
more
they'll they'll pray because because
because it's true because we're in
touch. Up and out is the way for gola.
Up. A person rising, a person
understanding. This sogya of harama is
carrying Israel like getting what he it
is, being in touch what he is. I see
this as the detchivers revolution. I see
this as the
whose yartzeit coming revolution. A
revolution of understanding neshama
Israel. From that space of course being
in touch with that, being being present
to what it means in the sham of it,
being more in touch with that. That's
how I see it. So I like that the gola
came like this. I don't know. I don't
know. It's interesting this part of the
story is
The whole of our kingdom changes now.
Yeah, I think so.
What do you say? It's interesting, man.
Rabbi, did they Can I read is the title
here in quotes? I don't know the answer.
>> [laughter]
>> Where did they feel better? Any idea?
The zeros were there at the time. Have
you seen how much they feel uplifted
when they come on the horse? I think
there's restoration of something. They
remembered what a year it is. Then we
get other goals too.
I'm claiming that this would cause that.
Mordecai is being led and by Haman
himself who who is Gayser the Gazer
against me so so we've been seeing we've
been noticed. Our Our pride has been
restored. That's what I'm claiming.
I need my costume to Interesting Yisif,
right?
We're talking We're talking gratitude.
We're talking gratitude and specifically
there near their door and one of the
dorm councils who's upstairs two are
right here. I want [snorts] to express
appreciation to Yisif Avrahami what he's
done THIS WHOLE YEAR.
>> [applause]
>> FROM MINUTE ONE THIS YEAR.
Maybe in in all the years somebody to
come quote and quote from the outside.
We saw Give me Give me another guy
Mordecai. We saw somebody
Nobody that know outsiders in dorm who
came from the outside outside of
Shtickel and came here and like took
over like this. Give me
I'm thinking of one name. I'm thinking
of two names also.
Go go two names. Go two names.
Would you count Naftali Fake in also?
So we have I want to say that Yisif
joins this pantheon of somebody just
from minute one came here in explosion.
It's very very appreciated what you've
done this whole land this whole year.
Very very appreciated.
I want to I want to express
appreciation.
I'm talking about up and out of Haman's
carrying me through. I want to express
that Daniel Tessler lifts the whole like
>> [applause]
>> the whole prestige of the Yeshiva.
I like him in the dorm. I say walks into
a building, it's like a more prestigious
place. And I would say one of the
greatest tzinus of the dorm and an of a
yid is understanding a yid is precious.
It sounds to you such good guys. When
people say that you feel worse. A
speaker comes and says, "You're such
wonderful people."
I I I didn't think we were so bad. Like
you That's I'm very honest. But somebody
says you're such good boys, you feel
worse.
Cuz that's cuz that's really what
they're feeling. I'm not talking about
saying that. So it's such a delicate
spot. I'm asking dorm counselors to
uplift the spirits.
But not shallow. To say, "Oh, you're
such good boys." That maybe the worst
times I felt in my life. People What's
it in English the word of the day is a
patronizing patronizing. Somebody says
sadikul, you feel like garbage yourself.
Sadikul.
I didn't think I was so bad. I
I really I'm not the worst guy.
A speaker can They don't mean bad.
Please don't judge. They're mamish
sadikuls. When somebody comes
When somebody comes and says such nice
hever, wow. You like I I mamish didn't
think we were so bad. I mamish I really
didn't think we were so bad. So I'm not
talking about in a shallow way. And and
patronizing is not does not uplift
somebody. I'm talking about
understanding. Right, Russ sits with his
guys. You can't tell he's unsure who's
bigger. It's not like the big one
helping. He looks at them
like a good thing mamish. But it's not
it's not said in words. It's true. It's
true. None of us have de'im. We know
who's neshama who We just don't know. I
want to express that Daniel Tessler in
the dorm you lift up people. Everybody
feels in your presence good. That's what
you give over. That's there's a there's
a there's a good up he has tremendous
beautiful eyes and there's a sense
people are good around Daniel people
feel respected, uplifted, appreciated.
You're in the dorm and the dorm's
lebedik. I would say it's interesting.
Reb Geisler came to our group, meets the
guys and most people in the world would
hear there's a lot of saying a lot of
people not dressed fully around Sulam.
There's words flying you can hear an F
bomb or two. Reb Geisler comes to Sulam,
falls in love with the guys and tells
his wife and kids they have to come. I
promised it happened.
I see that in Daniel. He's in the dorm a
lot of people would feel that there's
there's hard feelings in the dorm.
There's complicated. That's not what
he's seeing. He's seeing royalties
relating to something. He's experiencing
you could feel it. I I feel like you
went to the I feel like you walked in
there and the place is like you made it
float. The Carlton is barely on the
floor today. I was talking and I two of
the people that are responsible two of
that there others also but I feel what
Yossi and Daniel Reb Bernstein is it
fair to say that the chevre Avi included
Eliyahu
in the base and Shimon in the basement
you've like lifted the Carlton's
basically somewhere in Shimon's flying.
You've lifted it off the ground. Bamis.
Bamis Bamis Bamis you guys have like
raised it it's no longer on the ground.
It used to be like hard to see how big
it is is a floor underground it's a
shtickel above ground.
You've like lifted Who has that song a
tefach higher?
This is like now it's it's 10 tefachim
higher it's in a different situation.
I really really really really appreciate
both of what you've done here.
One second one second this is from
Eliyahu one second. This is from Elio.
Wow.
He said, "I want to say thank you to all
the madrichim for how they welcomed us.
It was a spectacular year. I'm going to
miss the Yeshiva and Beis Sasson so
much. I want to come and visit IN THE
FUTURE."
>> [applause]
[applause]
>> CAN I
I WANT TO SAY I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING.
I've had I want Rafi to hear this. I've
had frustration that I can't talk to
Rafi everything we want to say to each
other and to Elio.
I want to say though that somebody could
be accused the act of being a wordsmith.
Oh, you say the right thing.
I in a certain way I liked that we
couldn't talk to them and they absorbed
the whole Yeshiva. It's not words. I
like that.
I like that Yosef didn't say this. Be
quiet Be quiet all these you want to
say. People are you shouldn't They
couldn't hear one person say you're a
nice boy.
They didn't You couldn't do that. No
There can be an accusation with like and
you could settle all of us. When I'm not
on my game and my kids call me out, I'll
say like a compliment to my kids.
Don't tell me a compliment. You Let me
see.
You could say a compliment and it's like
a quick trick.
Say something nice.
Oh, I know you're so special.
I should thank you.
I want to express that they didn't hear
They didn't hear words. And Elio's
walking floating. The guys I I felt like
I belong. I felt like it. They got it. I
want to express that there's so much
beauty here, so much elevation. You
don't have to know words to feel cuz not
a wordsmith place. There's something
happening and going on and they felt it,
understood it, lived it, and were
elevated by it and brought elevation
here. So, I appreciate you guys a lot. I
appreciate Daniel. What you gave is
deeper than words and make sure always
what we give our families, what we give
people is deeper than words. I think you
get lost in being a good wordsmith,
deeper than words. So, of course words
are powerful. We use words, but I like
they prove something. I liked that
nobody could have said it least what I
like in a certain way they didn't hear
the words of the Yeshiva. In a certain
way they got the Yeshiva more than
everybody else.
I have told guys from far people listen
to Tati my king. In the Yeshiva you
think anybody ever plays Tati? You don't
hear the songs. A guy said Rabbi, before
I came I listened like 24/7 to music
Yeshiva. I just haven't listened since I
came.
I the the music of the Yeshiva is for a
person listening to hear you live the
music. It's
Don't ever let go of me. Connection,
Tati, this is like what's happening.
From far you hear the song. From from
from here you're you're living the song.
So, I want to just express that there's
a certain amount I appreciate Daniel.
They absorb what you were given without
words and maybe some of the words that
are said in the dorms it's better they
don't hear.
>> [laughter]
>> Pure. Pure.
>> [laughter]
>> Beautiful. Beautiful. Thank you Shimon.
Thank you Eliyahu. Thank you Rabbi
Daniel and Yishai.
