The Mindset during Days of Mashiach

shalim we are presently at Pasad four weeks after of the mea which happened in Gaza I last week I went to visit a mishak of mine who were evacuated from their community in the neev and they were taken to live in a hotel in n and uh I saw the situation it's mamish traumatic for them a situation the whole Community is picked up and taken off and being looked after in a hotel in a a very difficult situation being evacuated of your home they're living in Gus basically and I sat with them for quite some time and talking with them and they went through a trauma a panic a whole situation what went through them they were inside the sealed room for nearly 36 hours and they heard the Arabs shooting and shouting outside it was a very traumatic experience for them understandably and they heard the shots outside and eventually they discovered that over 40 terrorists had come into the yesu and it was a it was it was a horror scene a horror scene B hasem not hardly anybody got injured from the kib the M but at the same time a very difficult situation for them they told me also that uh in one of the neighboring mosim there that a certain Arab had been working for the community there for over 40 years and he was tremendously trusted and a great friend of everybody he knew everybody and knew where everything was in the in the kibuts and then when it came to the time of the he was the the wish the evil of these people he knew everything and took full advantage and they he was the person behind all the invasion which took place in this MOS that is the situation that we're in and I myself I went down there with my wife and we sat with these people and uh the situation was awful clearly they were very disturbed and they lived with a trauma of having gone through such an experience when we came back I collected my thoughts and I thought to myself for sure the situation is an awful situation what about me I was a bystander I live Ines and I didn't see any of these things and I only heard about about what happened to them and then I realized that what is the need for me to become traumatized until been a panic for these people who were there for sure they understandably they needed tender loving care and to sooth their pain and eventually to come back to life again and find themselves in a tranquility and peace of mind but for myself I wasn't there and therefore I thought to myself do I have to become so involved to listen to all the news the media itself I think is something like a fertile breeding ground for paranoia it builds a tremendous amount of fear and Pad in people and people become terrified I think much of the trauma is built up and the fear by what the media comes out and says they tell you all about different things nuclear warheads flying over and all different things maybe Corona will come back and the media only tells you the horror stories but doesn't really help you through and I was thinking to myself really in reality does anybody ever grow from listening to the news day and night or listening to all the you don't really grow you don't really change doesn't really make such an impression on you if anything it just satisfies your inquisitive mind and maybe even in some way even a sadistic interest to know what happened in certain places I don't know if it helps and I thought to myself what do I gain myself from listening to all these news stories and everything which goes on for sure of course there are wonderful stories of nim flus which took place in this in this day when it happened and enormous Miracles which took place I remember hearing about a woman who was herself was near religious woman but her grandchildren became B cha from kabad and they kept on talking to the grandmother over the last few months about amuna and faith in Hashem and belief in Hashem and then when it came to the time of the uh Invasion on Sim T she was sealed herself in her wom and she remembered all the comments which her grandchildren had told her and she kept on saying to herself to Hashem thank you Hashem an I'm protected by Hashem and she kept on saying this over and over again to herself she had a certain number of cookies and a drink with her which she divided up and she was in there 48 hours this woman and she came out saying what a was of hasm to hasm isn't that really the identity the T that of every jingle to hasem thank you Hashem Ai and she came out being in such a way the Beautiful Stories of the of the young boy NE who was there at that M at that event and he lay down on the ground and he said I don't know anything about Judaism at all but I know there's something called a saer tah so he kept on saying over over sa toah sa tah these are incredible stories kep saying sa he didn't know anything else and he was saved these sort of incidents and the enormous enormous and the ACT which is going on here in is a remarkable situation if that only is the outcome from it goodness me we can see where we're moving and where we're going on the enormous charity and which has gone I just saw recently an incident of a certain man who put on a truck I think six washing machines and went down to the soldiers with the generator on the on the truck as well and took all their clothing and washed it for them and gave it back to them they've been for two weeks without any change of clothing what a beautiful beautiful thing to do and these are the sort of actions which are coming out here tremendous and tremendous TOA which CL are coming forward and helping and the which people are coming people coming from all over and do living food and that is something maybe way can put our thoughts to listen to the news and become Panic stricken and traum I don't there's nothing to be gained what is there to listen to another Horror Story another atrocity which has taken place certainly we're very concerned about all those Jews in different parts of the world certainly in London when we heard about the 100,000 people who marched together in London the Muslims and so on and so on but I don't think you gain from listening to all this news I think one has to have a certain sense of direction the mindset you can flood your mind I think with paranoia and panic or you can flood your mind I think with something which we're going to discuss now today something which I hope will help you a great deal a mindset for a Mas during that's what I would like to open up to you and open your minds up today we don't have to be involved with all the news and the media we can leave those aside but something I think which must be in our minds one thing is for sure and that is our prayers must go out to all the people who are in such difficult situations certain for all the people the hostages and the kidnaps we must DAV every single day and we will say at the end of sh you know where you put your P before to say there to say that passage I think before and then I think to express the prayer you can put it even in English at the end in your own words help the hostages and those people are kidnapped to come out meet all the people never who in hospital and the the people who are Nam and certain maybe even for life these people to dab for the people certainly to dab for the enormous number of tragedies of Alas and people are sitting shiva and Alas and the families of theim who are killed as well recently one has to D for them one must say these thoughts at the end of prayer at the end of I think at every single to say this to to say these verses to happen for these people and certainly also for all the people who are sent in Exile and evacuated from their homes like this Mish one has to dam for everybody I'd like to make a further suggestion as well the V mentions at one point that all the potential bras that a person needs in life are in the words I think one can say that as well after and you D for the soldiers and D for the people who sitting sh or the people who are maimed or the hostages to say after that I'd like to suggest said I will come and bench them if one says that at the end of daving according to the all the needs and all the requests and all the anxieties of all included in that of I think to say that and say again again maybe if you'll excuse me and say after that as well I think it's our role certainly if we're going to have a mindset a mindset of prayer ding for all the people who are in such should bring them out to we see better times but let's carry on this sh which I'd like to suggest something like a mindset something a thoughts that we must put on our mind to flood our mind with these thoughts which I'd like to suggest today there is a beautiful letter which I once saw from the one of the great and in B he said as follows that one of the greatest tragedies we have in our time is shal inside a person we have lost the internal the the inner innermost soul and the beauty of a person meaning his tranquility and his Peace of Mind we've lost that and I think in all this Panic as well person has to remain some sort of consistency and and and quietness inside his mind in order to control himself you can be a very wealthy man living in a beautiful palace and yet you're disturbed in your mind you can be a poor man living in a Hut in a twift somewhere but you can have you can be as delighted it all depends on your mind no everything really depends on what's going through your thoughts and that's what I'd like to suggest today to grow from our thoughts to grow from what's going through our minds and flood our thoughts with the thoughts which I like to bring out today the Panic from the the paranoia from the media we can leave aside don't look at it too much if you have to look at it look at it maybe once a week or once every two days one doesn't have to know what the atro is going on one has to fill one's mind with thanks to the for what's going on all the great n and which have happened to certain people and certainly as we mentioned just now to DB for people who are in s and Suka in great pain and great anxiety certainly that is our role as well one thing I think is for sure and that is the times which we're living through are momentous are momentous times the times of the end of the Gus and we're coming into the times of the Gula we can see that and we'll never ever forget this time I don't know I lived in during the Gulf War this was nothing this is far for impend far more impending than then the Gulf War was a terrifying thought as well when I was in Israel but here there's something else you feel on Sim such an event happened you you feel the roots of the Gul coming out and therefore one has to have a clear mind and recognize exactly what is supposed to be inside your mind and on that imit we should grow was in London after the war he recalled during one of the shirim there that he had heard from vas who had heard from the the following account that he said the had said had said that there would be three Wars of Gog Magog theim said this in 1918 after the first world war the said what has just finished has been the first war of gogu Magog that's what the said in 1980 so said re as recorded byan if you want to follow what I'm saying you can see what my points it's brought out in leu onas in sh the very last page of P what I'm saying is recorded there what had said let's go back to the point the first world war according to the was the first war of gogu Magog he then said in 1918 the second one occur in 25 years time and will make the first one look like Child's Play that was a comment which she said meaning he anticipated he knew what was coming the second war will come out in 25 years time when meltz heard these words of the he went into theim and asked him what do you mean and exactly what I said the second one will be like the first one will be like Child's Play compared to the second one on that basis P packed his bags immediately and came to and he became the of in he then said as follows the third war of Gaga Magog will be an a he did not say it would be a war he said it would be a time of great difficulty and stress for cl Isel but from there they will be saved so said the those are the words of the as you probably know was something like a Novi in our times his accounts which he wrote he wrote great discussions and great comments and M about Zionism and nationalism and communism was something like a Novi in our times and had his own comment to say about when he heard what the had said this is what had said on the basis of what the had said we must go through What's called the birth pangs of the mhia as we know these are times in order to see the birth we should see the good but they're called only a mascul which is a thinking person we'll discuss what that is a thinking sensitive person at such a time should be quiet and prepare with tremendous preparation maybe such a person will see the of maybe that's a person those are the words of I'd like to spend a little time examin what is the meaning of the word a mascul a mascul not like in the 19th century when you have somebody who is enlightened and he left the path of Mitzvah a mascul in this context means a sensitive thinking person who is aware and alert to the circumstances what is happening in Cloud Israel the greatest mascul may be is perhaps was Mas David was a very intelligent had tremendous insight and wisdom of the times which were going on hasem IM and hasem was with him in his thoughts maybe that's the reason why we use the words of DAV when it comes to prayer his words have tremendous hasc tremendous success the Von mentions in the beginning of Miss per Al B the word hasca means successfully well fought out to be successful would be Mas successfully well found in these times what does he have to do to keep quiet to keep quiet and prepare with great preparation what is the meaning of this word to keep quiet but B did not mean to live like a Hermit in a cave no I don't think he meant that he meant something like this he meant to be quiet something like Aon when he heard that his children had died the two sons had died he acquiesced to the will of a and we don't know what's going on we have no really understanding of the times that we going through why this has to happen why these problems have to happen why this stress has to occur we don't but keep quiet and prepare yourself prepare yourself and maybe through this preparation a person will be privileged to see exactly the G as it comes about I'd like to bring for you something from the words from the nov as recorded byan explained this p in the following sense we say it actually every fast day in let me share with you these comments of the Novi in other words what does it mean to keep quiet and listen keep quiet and listen and understand and thinks said my thoughts are not your thoughts and my your ways are not my ways you have to and that's what the means we don't understand why certain things are happening why these are happening why this happen on as high it is from heaven above Earth so far away are my ways and my thoughts from your ways you don't understand that but then the Carries On but this perhaps you can understand says in Bas M Bas but there is something you can understand something like this like the rain and the snow fall down and they don't go back but they make everything prosper and grow Everything grows because of the rain and the snow what does it mean here that we can understand this explains as follows the words they will not go back from there you learn something called from something that doesn't go back you must understand something that does go back says follows Hashem sends the rain and the snow and the prosperity and we send we send our prayers we send our Mitzvah we send our tah and that is the true cycle of prosperity Hashem sends gas and we send the sh the rain and the snow do not go back but something yes goes back and what does go back our prayers go back and our Mitzvah go back and that is the real cycle of prosperity meaning we send sh shabas we send to we send we send our prayers that sends up and that and as hasem sends success and prosperity by it and that I think is the message between the mascul the mascul sits and listens and watches what's going on but he understands these above his ways what he does send back is his prayer and his thoughts and his Mitzvah and that I think is what the meaning of meant meaning that's the meaning of a mascul a mascal is somebody who understands he sees what's going on he's alert to the situation he's aware of the panic of those people who lived in the netive he's alert to them and he prays for them and he looks after them he's aware of all the Miracles which happen one doesn't have to become alert and aware of all the horrors which the media GS out but the prayer of course does go back and that is the vital point which we have to understand here certainly the prayer for theim and the hostages and the people who are sick and the a certainly that's our great Ava here but I'd like to take you a little bit further and a little more in depth what does it mean the power of prayer at these times as we go through and I think this is the mindset of the masc in the certainly not to flood one's mind with the news and the stories on the media but to flood your mind I think with these points V the great talid of the AR explained as follows in the time of the like Rashi and the RAM and the r the great the main a which was in was the a of T tah became their main source of of a and of course as we know of course we know that the recognition of is the most important Mitzvah but then said as follows but when it comes to the time of the time before the Mia which is what we going through now it changes in a certain respect and becomes the main a in AES of course the question is asked but you said how can you tell me that rises above the importance of how can you say that of course we say it every single morning after what does mean when he said that rises above and becomes the Mitzvah of the the times the relevant Mitzvah of the times in the introduction to explains what the meaning is behind the words of meaning in the time of the was was the main point but now we move on and something called becomes the main part of our what did he mean andinas explained in the following way one of the main of besides is to hear the supposing a person turns around and says I prefer to sit and learn instead of going to hear the Chau I'll sit and learn instead of that certainly the Mitzvah learning to is much greater than that but the point is the the Mitzvah of the day finger on the pulse it's as much as is very important is relevant to the times the obligation of the day of R is to hear sh maybe we can even say if a person LS maybe his Torah is not even Torah because he's avoiding the torah's Mitzvah the Mitzvah of listening to the cha meaning he's missed the point he he's not finger on the pulse he doesn't realize must hear the not that Chau is more important than Li we're not saying that but there's something which is very relevant at this time for example the same thing maybe you can say on Le the night of sanite a person decides I'll sit and Le to instead of reading through the and eating mats and everything else surely Tam to is greater than eating and the of no but you're missing the point here the to is obligating us at this time on the night of the 15th to n to talk about to eat matah meaning there's something which is relevant at the time and this is the point when it comes to of course is but one has to be more focused and the masc I think that's the meaning of it here when it says name when ran said to be careful and prepare yourself prepare yourself in in the following way you must understand what is the nature of Prayer in the times which we're going through now the answer which rinkus gives which I'd like to elaborate and maybe uh illustrate perhaps a little bit further is so vital and so crucial that I'd like to suggest when you hear this answer this response as to what do we mean by Thriller being so important I'd like you to forget anything else you have to make a phone call forget about the phone call you're going somewhere for a kiddish on shab forget forget about everything else I would like to ask you for your full attention to I'm about to say cuz I think this is crucial to understand the times we're going through this is really the mascal who is preparing himself in the times of because of the MH this is a Vital Information which one has to know the world that we know at the moment is really something like human Hegman as we know is a person Rises up to great power maybe a dominant person a dictator person has a great deal of money the world as we know it inam is a world very much that dominated by money by Power by prestige and who has the the greatest influence and the greatest uh influential Post in the in in the world that's the way the world is and the world has been carrying on like this for the last few thousand years Alexander the Great and nebu and all the different people which arose to power the different powers in politics and we come down to our times the president of the United States or the president Whoever has a great deal of money and especially money money makes the world go around especially that is the world which we live in nowadays the world ofam Haz as we know at the moment is very much a world of materialism secular culture and that is the nature of the world that we it's been like this for the last maybe 2,000 years the nature of the world we have also in this time period in the last thousand or 2,000 years the emergence of T the great Rim Rashi and the ram theim the the and theas the B and the great teachers which you had in clis these have be the people who rose with tremendous self-sacrifice tremendous sacrifice in order to carry on to despite living in a situation of Godless Edom of Asa and also G the times are tremendously difficult and great sacrifices is made in order to put to carry on the nature of Torah great sacrifice and great mysterious NE I remember hearing about the father of the great G rosha Vice he was in aitz I think with the closenberg Reba and he was responsible taking all the people out to be buried at the time NE who died and the Clausen re took upon himself his Ro and he found he couldn't do it the father abos and he came to the time when he said I can't do this anymore it's too depressing it's too hard for and the clouds and M turned around him and said as follows if you carry on with this I promise you all your children will become Tam this is the result the promise of tremendous sacrifice tremendous sacrifice which he do he carried on burying everybody in as as we know all his children were great meaning tremendous efforts were made in this time period through the periods of GES which kalis have gone through great sacrifice and this is the world that we know for the last Thousand Years politics and we' visen and the ghettos the problems in Spain problems in Germany the problem s in Stalin these are all the difficult it's very much a situation of human Hegman man has risen up and lifted himself with tremendous importance and tremendous stature and made with tremendous power and also very often with tremendous evil and great cruelty that is the nature of it's man in his supreme power we have to add on to this also especially in the times of the Mia what has happened in the world this is a very general panoramic view of what's going on but let's have a look what has happened in the world in the last episod of the mishna explains at the end of what will happen in the times of the world has grown tremendously with tremendous tremendous in what's going on the the world has become a place the greatest you have the more success you have there's no who can correct anybody in these times the mishna Carries On and says people will no longer recognize the importance of the truth is all hidden had and there were 15 circumstances which the mishna brings out here in the end of sa to describe all the calamities and the tragedies which will happen in the times of and all we have to rely on is asks a wonderful question on this Mion here one second before before the times of also who do we have to rely on but on why is it that the Mish says specific here when it comes to these points before the M we have nothing to rely about the and answered in a beautiful way he said as follows until you come to the times of which we're going through now the times which we're going through now the great difficulty we have maybe we always had certain something called Bal things which we could rely on meaning the legitimate of the government the fairness of society the men of society a certain rightness a certain correctness of the courts but then said when it comes to the time of all these so-called these points which you rely on will now disappear and go away and you won't have them anymore and therefore before the times of the mhia the M you'll have something which you can but now you have nothing to rely on as we see say now rely on the United Nations rely on nations of the world we can't rely on America we can't r on anybody that's what there's nothing to r on there's no one to Bey and therefore when it comes to these times certainly the situation is we have nothing to Bey but re sh and these are the circumstances the nature of the human Hegman of man rising up with great power the tremendous I chose on three points the tremendous success of we see in our times as well all the are full people learning is a major league project s we see after and we see the enormous emergence of and also we see the times of the ex of the the P mentions that all these 15 points which are brought down in the times of the problem and during the The Thorn always comes from they are the ones who provide for examp Ms truth is hidden because after all that's the great of is the which comes out the tremendous they are the ones who provide the the difficulty the wedge the the hindrance the hurdle they are the ones who are providing the hurdle in each of these 15 points so the P the until the time of the mhia will come and then they'll all disappear and dissipate and be annuled that is the world that we see at the present time the world that we see it but we now have to turn our attention what will happen when the Messiah will come what sort of scene can we expect how will the world change when it comes to this recognition of in what way will the world be in a different place after all the Novi says in the Novi you know that beautiful prophecy in Al in yesah where the Novi explains the lme will lie down with the lamb and the child will play by by by the hole of the snake and then the says as follows in listen to this beautiful in the time of the Mia when thei will come when the M will come there will be no evil and no destruction on the the world will be full of knowledge knowled again the world will be full of knowledge of the Mighty like the water covers the sea what is it meaning here what does it mean that the water covers the sea what does it mean by the time when the mhia will come the whole world will be covered with Das hasem as if the water covers the sea the malbim explains in a beautiful explanation as follows when you look out across the sea of the ocean what do you see you see only above the water above the water you see up underneath you don't see anything underneath the water you don't see the bedw walk you can't see the the world underneath the world of underwater the sea nothing cuz it's all hidden by the water in our times what rises above the surface completely money and power and dominance and the ismo and all the difficulties we see in our times the tremendous Hegman and the tremendous power of different nations above the what's underneath the surface underneath the surface is and and mitzvas and everything which is holy and sanctu which has a certain kadha to it and Tower to that's underneath the surface underneath the surface what will happen now in the time of the Messiah it will shift around everything of gmas will go underneath the surface and you won't see that and the rise above the surface will be Das hasem everything will be the knowledge of the almighty to recognize is in this house in this place this person has D the the commodity which will rise above the surface and become so knowledgeable in people's minds will be the recognition of that will rise above the surface and materialism will go underneath the surface and that's the reason for it like the water covers the sea the water covers everything of Das at this point now it will shift in the time of the mhia the point we have to recognize say is as follows what causes this change what will make this enormous change from Shifting the world from the situation of human Hegman and power and money into a situation of what is the force which will turn that all around for that we have to turn of course to the gamar and the end of nid and the gamar explains as follows the question as follows is what will cause this change what will make this enormous radical change that the world will now shift in its emphasis and shift in its knowledge so that D hasem Rises higher and material Rises lower and that is the nature of the time of the Messiah says the the end of Nida the men of Taria a men of Alexandria asked Rua benh several questions and the questions were as follows how does a man become very wise so sit down a great deal inside the limit his time in business that's the way a person becomes a they answered and said but many people did that and they never became they sat in and they never became said then you have to ask for that gives meaning ask to give you meaning as follows if you DAV for then as well as learning then you'll be successful one without the other is not enough secondly they asked him how does a person become very wealthy in life said be honest and straight in business they turned around and said to him the an Alexander re re many people b h never made a dime they're still bankrupt how can that be they have you have to ask the almighty for that if you ask the almighty for wealth and success I have all the money and I have all the reserves of finances meaning turn to me meaning one without the other you have to be honest in business but you also have to DB them for it as well and the third thing which they asked as follows how does a person come to have wonderful wonderful children said marry a wife who's suitable for him and act with K and with one's wife so they said many people do that and their children are not they're not proud of their children so you should they have to DAV the of your children D for it one without the other is not enough from there we learn the principle really which is what is trying to teach us as follows we have a situation of the of the M maybe all the circumstances are right everything the conditions are all that everything is ready for it in order to cause the change mean the Catalyst which will shift the world from the world of materialism and human Hony and the dominance and The Prestige of man into of that is the catalyst is prayer and without prayer it won't succeed you might arrive at all the right circumstances and you might have all the conditions right but unless you have prayer nothing will shift and nothing will turn over and that is the meaning of what meant in the time of of course is pre is preeminent of course that's one of the most important mitzah is the most important mitzah but you should know relevant to this time to cause the change to bring the Catalyst and to bring out in such a way one needs to recog the value of prayer prayer is the Catalyst which causes the change that's what was trying to tell these an Alexander the men of Alexandra if you don't DAV for wealth if you don't DAV for success in learning if you don't DAV for your family then you won't get anywhere at all it's not enough prayer is the Catalyst which causes the change all the circumstances might be right it's not enough you have to dab as well for a situation and that's what was explaining to us until the time of comes first but now the Mitzvah like on without that you didn't commit the Mitzvah you didn't fill your obligation of the Mitzvah the day of you have to listen to you must say of course is more important but it's the relevant of the time your obligation for the DI is this as much as you learn tah one also has to recognize the importance and significance of what prayer can do let me show you where do we see this from how do we know this situation so well do you remember the scene when elasa was sent his next week's elz was sent BYU to find a wife of and Abu gave elzar a document on on it was written that all the money and all the wealth which ab had and he was a fabulous wealthy person he was a multi-millionaire was going to this and he gave thear over to elzar to go and find a wife elzar took thear put in his pocket and arrived at the well when he arrived at the well the first thing he do he stood there and said please Hashem he DED make it happen that I should find a suitable wife for one minute if you have a document in your pocket with all the money in the world to to to find a sh surely just have to go to sit in a hotel lounge and show people look do you see all these zeros here why didn't he use thear because elazar knew that the way of his master was through prayer prayer is the Catalyst which causes the sh to come about as much as a person might come from a wonderful family and all the right situation and all the right circumstances without prayer it won't happen and ell has was aware of that that's why elzar was called an everon a faithful servant to his master abin he knew prayer is the means by which it will come about same thing we see Remember by and RKA they didn't have any children they were very suitable people have had children they were one they were sadik they were the greatest probably in the time in the world they never had a child daved for his wife that she should become pregnant and the worda comes from the word which is a pitchfork he turned over the situation he turned it over from a situation of her not being able to have a child to have a child the gamar brings out a beautiful mushro the farmer goes down into a field and he sees that the wheat on top is dry and the wheat underneath is wet he takes a pitchfork an at iron to and flips it over prayer has the ability to turn over a situation and that's the that's the Catalyst and that's what is telling us the circumstances might the of or the difficulty of the hostages the people who are sick in hospital they Avail all the great sorus of but to make it work to make the Catalyst work to force the change that we move on from the situation of into is only through prayer and that's what is teaching us it's a very important point if one doesn't get that point you miss the point you haven't got finger on the pulse you don't realize what's happening here at the moment prayer will be the force isn't that exactly what we said last week in the sh if you followed it 124 into when says we are like a bird hiding from a trap and the trap is catching usem the first thing you must DAV daving will cause the change in the time of Y and that's the nature of what prayer is all about that is a catalyst why do we stand there and with we asking to move over from this why don't we just take a and sit and learn the answer is in order to cause the change for Al Mighty to move over from the seat of judgment to the seat of Mercy you must have prayer and that's why IM talk to me speak to me because prayer has the ability to cause a change it makes a catalyst that's the force which we have to once we recognize that then say we have finger on the pulse and we understand what it means to be a mascul in these times that is what meant when he said only a person who is enlightened who is thinking who is alert and recognizes what is the nature of our times we are living in a situation but all the terms and conditions might be ready to push it through and make it work you need to have the power of prayer prayer will cause the change and make the great shift over isn't that RAB exactly what happened in MIT look at the beginning of sh the beautiful passage here cried out tremendously difficult the persecution and the slavery in Egypt was impossible and they and they cried out to and their cry went up he heard their cry the next we find mosha at the snare and mosha was sent down to M the G began the change came about through the whole cause of Prayer in same thing in in turned back to the people and said what you have to do is gather together all the Jews and Dav for me the prayer will turn and ship fill is the Catalyst which causes the change if if we recognize that if we see the point of the Catalyst then we begin to understand what a masc really must think isn't that really say what meant in P 142 into which we keep on saying over and over again the learns I mentioned it previously that this peric page 142 doid inside the cave when he was running away from shul actually sensed all the situation and the terms of clis in the times of there you have the words when he was inside the cave he daved why he realized MD the Tower of strength for tadic is is a prayer he rises up in the tower and he's lifted up and he's elevated that peray really sums up exactly what we're going through in our times we have to recognize this say and that I think is the meaning of the mascul the mindset of the masculine in our time times one has to raak meaning to recognize the importance of prayer and that's what had mentioned as well said previously it was a now the most relevant Mitzvah is it doesn't mean that to is relegated but there's something called the Mitzvah like like similar in our times the power of prayer will cause the change that's the Catalyst that's what was teaching the men of Alexandria that's exactly what elasa realized from his master and to realize that they might have been perfect parents and wonderful people ready to become uh parents in Christ but in order to to cause the change and to change the situation from a woman who cannot have children to become pregnant then we see the next POS is the RKA became pregnant and she was able to have a child afterwards that's the nature that we have to work on and that's the point that we have to reach of course we have to add in as well the points which we meant in the previous year that we are partners with the almighty that we mentioned that last time we burn and brought the seeds on the ground we mentioned the last year and waited until man came along and DB for rain we are Partners in the G our prayer is part of the maintenance bringing about the Gula our avoid in prayer is a maintenance we bring it about through up we mentioned it last time and if it comes to it and it seems that the door is closed then break down the door pre Adel which is The Shield which we mentioned last time I think that is the point what we can go back to the words of B us only a person who's sensitive and alert not to get caught up with the media and the panic and the trauma neb those people who are inside the situation they need tender loving care and a great deal of patience with them to sooth their pain that they should move on from there but we who are bystanders we're not there we don't have to look at every single item in the news the media is a is a breeding ground for p it breeds a person with tremendous anxiety if you listen to every single point of views of course to take notice of the beautiful Miracles which are happening and of course the AA prayer is phenomenal a person can D for the for the hostages all the beautiful prayers that we making now in all the shes here in everywhere I go everybody stands after daving and davens but I'm suggesting even further than that every single at the end of before you say that's what we say every single day if we say that in our prayers then certainly our prayers will answer according to that's the order of the day that's the MIT is to cause the change and the catalyst is the Catalyst through prayer I would like to add a final point which I actually put at the end of my safer a bridge called prayer which I think is very relevant to the times that we're going through now it's a which I heard in the name of the Salomon he needs of Lakewood but Mattis said at the CM hash in 2012 the following comment the mishna brings down in p on three things the world stands on which is prayer and and charitable acts acts of says on that mishna that those three things the almighty anticipates our efforts and our excellence and our expertise in these three areas in in in prayer in he anticipates our are reaching a peak of achievement in in and also in on that the world stands the world stands on these three things then said as follows and he is I mean something like the made a comment after that and said as follows from what we see after the CM hash this was in 2012 said maio as follows it seems there has been an enous Renaissance in TOA people are learning TOA everywhere you go people are learning daom schools are full I learn in the Mir Shiva we sit like sardines 10,000 people in one miva enormous number Lakewood has the same number as well people are learning toe you see the schools here the bakos Cano people are learning to in a tremendous way I remember when I once was in Denver and I had to catch an early flight and I went to the sh at 5:30 in the morning in order to get an early minion there there was no seat in sh the sh was packed out with people learning Toya in Den I was amazed I saw the same thing in Baltimore as well and also in lutsk in L the base of ear than people there's been a tremendous Renaissance said when it comes to said when it comes to unbeliever it's mly project in most communities looking after the sick tremendous amount of and we see now after as well enormous amount of people are running around making meals making tias helping people out in the most going to visit aim going to visit people in hospital tremendous amount of it's a major major it's a Renaissance inad I would say but then ra said as follows almost something which is a frightening thought he said but I don't know if there's been a Renaissance when it comes to prayer maybe that is what's holding back the mashiah maybe that we have done tremendous work in and but what about prayer has it remained as a chant as a ritual or is it actually something is it something which I'm pouring my heart out with am I really dabing with great sincerity and effort am I putting my heart into my prayer and so said Rao on that maybe I don't know from his position his vantage point he saw maybe prayer has not reached that point and maybe that he said is what's holding us back I thought after I heard that maybe that's a meaning of The Words which we say every morning let our lips be instead of the Bulls meaning all the time that we had the B then the Bulls was a us the sacrifices but in the meantime our lips make up for the Bulls but surely maybe in order to come back to the Bulls and the sacrifice in the B of mik our lips have to reach the point of likeus meaning an effort which is put in to think of the words that one's saying think of the meaning put one's heart into one's prayer if one can do that then maybe as mat said if we can do that then we'll see the turnaround and the Cathy will come forward all the circumstances might be right say the mascal realizes he's alert and he's sensitive to all the terms be quiet one doesn't understand everything it's true Hashem sends the rain and the snow but we send back everything in he sends gash we and that is the the cycle of prosperity it generates itself that doesn't go back but the and the prayer yes goes back and that's what we have to work on and that is the meaning behind in order to bring out the Catalyst to cause the change in the circumstances that we move on from a time of materialism and secular culture when the world will turn around and everything will spiritual will rise above the surface and everything materialism will go underneath the surface of the sea and all we will see is a person who has great knowledge of the almighty who knows toe will rise above the surface in great Eminence and great respect and underneath will be the gmas the world will turn upside down in order to do that we have to do whatua told the an Alexandri everything that you do you have to D for in order to cause the change that's exactly what elzar realized when he was sent to find a sh what yov and and did when they did that and that's what what we do every single in order to cause a change to cause the almighty to move over from the is the that is the yes which I think we have to Bo and that's what we have to bear in mind in these days of great recognize the great and pray should rise up he
