Okay, welcome everyone. I'd like to uh
dedicate this year especially to those
uh soldiers that fell sadly
um in the apartment in the building
crash booby trap building over the last
several days and a various
skirmishes. These are terrible terrible
tragedies. We need extreme
shira and without for them and for all
the and for the remaining hostages and
wounded we really must keep them in our
mind. I will I will share with you some
interesting news about events going on
in Shalayim as we go through this year
uh that will give us I believe and some
optimism that we need as we uh go
through our day-to-day trials and
tribulations on Shuest night. Uh I want
to recap and expand upon a theme that we
learned about together on Shuest night
at Ishesh. Thank you for those who
attended and for those that didn't, I
wanted to give you a chance to um hear a
little bit of a a recap and extension of
what we spoke about. The title is the
mystical roots of today's
anti-semitism and then we're going to
have a second topic altogether which you
will uh see has something to do with
entering this the summer where we are
right now. You know, just for
context, yesterday was the seventh day
after Shabuot. Sunday after Monday,
Shabuot, which is the final day that
you're allowed to uh in the times of the
B mikdash to bring your oly to show up
in the B mikdash and offer your carbon
because usually that's done
on PES. You bring your personal carbon
called an olia but you can't bring it on
yontiff. Only communal sacrifices can be
brought on yontiff. So you need a which
is but less sanctity and therefore
you're entitled to bring a personal
sacrifice in the bas mikdash a kind of
like a donation or a gift offering of
some kind that you that's oblig
obligatory. And not only that, but it's
obligatory to also be generous and uh
with it and certainly to bring your
produce that has been set aside as
one/tenth as uh the tithe whether it's
for eating in your which is called sheni
or form and distribute that as well and
involve as many people as possible. So
it's really a time the regal are really
a time in which we want to have a group
experience and at the same time there's
an individual aspect to it each person
making their unique contribution and now
to that end the I went yesterday to you
because it was the last opportunity to
offer that uh gift and today we can't
offer actual sacrifices unfortunately We
hope to soon, but at least to offer
prayers and some sedaka and to show up.
I felt that was a mitzvah for whoever
wanted to join into that good intention
that merit hashem. We should be standing
sometime in the week after next hashem
and offer our real carbon to hashem with
the um beta mikdash's imminent arrival.
Okay. And we have to speak about that
because there's been a big development
in that area that not many people know
about. But first let's get to the the
theme of the mystical roots of
anti-semitism. So first in
context yesterday there was a flotilla
from
Europe rather lame. It contained a few
activists including including the girl
who is the climate activist
and general troublemaker around the
world. And they peacefully were
dissipated. There was no incident. There
was no
violence. They were they were um fed
into the port of Ash of Ashdod, I
believe. and uh and they're summarily
dismissed without incident that came
from Europe. There's something far more
formidable on its way from the Madreb,
from the northern African countries
which are purely
Arab and that is a 7,000 vehicle convoy
that is on its
way to break through so to speak the
Egyptian uh borders and enter Gaza Ku so
to speak to offer relief as if as if
they're not getting enough relief to
make everybody wealthy.
and especially Hamas. This shows that
there's actually and I think this is
very very true a degree of difference
between the Muslim hatred what we call
the
Benetel in our mystical terminologies.
We view them anybody relevant to Islam
as part of Ishmael. And then of course
the other protagonist
um is is uh Asav or
Amalik. It's interesting to note that
when it comes to
Europe and uh and
[Music]
Asav, you know, they're not the ones
standing up and say destroy Israel.
They'll do everything in their power to
help Yeshua destroy us. But on their
own, they they do not seem to have any
ability to even make stake a claim.
Although they'll recognize a Palestinian
state, but again, this is in deference
to bowing to the influence of the Arabs.
So the first mystical or picabola
understanding is that we are not
endangered mostly by the Christian
nations. I'm using this as a metaphor.
the the little flotilla was a yacht that
had a couple of bags of flour on it and
a few activists uh you know it was a
joke
frankly a bad joke but nevertheless a
joke and it it was a
non-inccident. these 7,000 trucks that
are coming from the Arab
countries, they're Egypt will probably
turn them away, but it's a much more
powerful, frightening
um and um antagonistic and
hateful sort of thing. It that thing is
a matter of concern. If Egypt allows
them through into the border, which I
doubt that they will, but still Egypt
will have to turn them back. I'm sure it
won't be able they won't turn them back
without use of force and who knows what
will happen. We hope they
do. So what is really going on here? Why
and let's take a look at America right
now. We had terrible incidents of
violent
anti-semitism. Now let's look at who was
responsible. The most recent one was
this case of this Egyptian man who for
some, you know, reason could not control
his hatred of Jews and wanted to
literally firebomb them. He did want to
shoot them, but he wasn't able to get a
handgun, thank God. But he he made some
homemade u molotov cocktails and he
actually burnt a bunch of people and
people were hurt and in and in in broad
daylight to a group of I would call
seniors who were marching you know it
was
Denver whatever they were they were not
children they were not university
students they
were at least middle-aged if not elderly
who were who are demonstrating on behalf
of Nebach the hostages and they got
firebombed by an Egyptian man. Look at
the level of uh animosity there. That's
that's no flotilla. That's fire. It's
ash. Similarly,
um you had shootings which is also ash.
We speak about bullet is ash. It's kimat
kimat the same thing burns right through
you. who shot that couple, that
unfortunate couple at the um Israeli
embassy who weren't even practicing
Judaism as far as we know. And the anger
that
individual was again
radicalized by the Gaza or the Arab
things, the Arab animosity which spreads
across internet and then sparks the
flames of anti-semitism. But if you took
away the Arab agitators from the
campuses and it was the Gaza war, what I
call it, you know, Shabastora massacre,
Shabasa massacre, October 7th, it should
be really called
Shabastora. And uh it was an attack
on of of uh without any which reflected
the duality which we call per odam. Yesh
described and and and of course he is
the
identifiable father of their religion.
They say so they'll tell you. So they'll
tell you there was no there was ashile.
They they commandeer it as Jerma himself
tried to do by firing arrows at
at he was born. So nothing has changed.
The methodology of Yesharily
um powerful, but it's individuals who
can shoot arrows. And that's what it is.
Groups of people shooting rockets,
right? They're not going to come with
tanks. They're not coming with with high
powered
technology. They're not coming with
troop carriers and hummers and all this
stuff and and lasers like uh the IDF
miraculously has with the help of
Hashem. These are these are archers.
They're shooting even Iran. What do they
want to do? They want to make ballistic
missiles to shoot at Israel. Houthis
ballistic missile. Houthis are not
marching to Israel for a confrontation.
So the firing of fire onto the Jewish
people is more what today is really
going on. That's the idea of the
demonstrations. That's the idea of the
making Israel look like a the
international criminal which of course
is with the help of a malik is not that
difficult. But we should understand
conceptually and on a mystical level
that this is galut Ishmael. We are we
we've kind
of been through the most of what Asov
can do to us because of the Holocaust.
They kind of blew their you know entire
weaponry based on whatever they had
because of asavs being usurped. Although
necessarily so and with God's command
so and whatever tinyness he had the
tears of as affected for him a
tremendous amount of things and he of
course got the brah from for a
tremendous braha. In fact, I was looking
I was looking at a world globe. My sons
and I were looking into some geography.
See if you can name countries. And you
know, it's so difficult for them. They
don't Israeli, you know, kids who grew
up in Israel, they don't have that
American sense of where's America,
where's here, where's there. They they
they kind of don't really know and they
don't get a lot of geography. So, I
found a ball that has all the nations of
the world on it. And I looked at it and
if you look, Europe is like this big
compared to Russia, compared to China,
compared to Canada, compared to the
United States, compared to Brazil. These
are massive countries. Mongolia, massive
countries, but you know, Europe is not
that big. It's like a few neighborhoods.
you know, got a little France, a little
Germany, a little Austrians, and the
Dutch, and the, you know, the the Huns
from the north. Not Huns, but the
whatever you call them, the Aryans from
the north, the
Vikings, you know, that's already pretty
far, but it's a small in geographic
size, very small. And some of the
countries are very, very small. Monaco,
very small country, Belgium, small
country, Holland, very small country.
But I but they were blessed
by that these were the greatest and most
choicest places on earth to live. Fact
they said Italia Shabban which is
actually Italy Greek colonization of
Italy. So that was the example of
Schmanets. That's where the Lavabachers
by the way get their esroen from Yanov
which is a Greek island. And it just
shows you that it has a very similar
climate, a Mediterranean climate, shares
Mediterranean climate with Israel. That
whole area is is ripe with blessing. And
they were given it. And they were given
it. And we have to contend with that.
But I don't believe that our greatest
threat
is from Europe. I think it's rather
lame. In fact, they puff h p h p h p h p
h p h p h p h p h p h puffed and puffed
and said that they want to recognize the
Palestinian state and all of a sudden
they backed down because they know it's
absurd. How could you recognize a terror
enclave, which is what it is, but I want
to go a little bit further with that.
How is it that there is this
anti-semitism in the world? How is it
the will of Hashem? What possible
benefit could it could it have? and h
and and what is our what is our our the
Jewish viewpoint the midrashic the
rabbitic viewpoint of what is perennial
and inevitable
anti-semitism. So there's a beautiful
medish that gives us the names of
hareni where the Torah descended to the
world. One of those five names which is
Hari, the one we use is
called is called uh is is called that
according to the Medish and this is
quoting a Maharal who quotes a medish
ramos raba chapter B chapter 2 uh
section 4. He says as
follows
Elohim God came to the mountain of
Hashem. Those are two names right there.
And the medish says there were actually
five
names that we just saw in that
pukashan which we didn't uh is is is not
in the Torah itself but is
in
68im the mountains of gavun which sounds
like gina or cheese or dairy the dairy
mountain and then harve
the mountain of the swords and and then
hari. So then it breaks down the
significance of these various names
again one is in permote giml which is
harlo that's and harloim. So let's take
those two first. So the med says
harlo
iso meaning the Jewish people said we're
gonna accept hashem's mus in the world.
That's a great great uh thing that
happened at Hari the NAS of Anishma.
Hashem is our God. We crown
God. We we we do what we do every day
when we
say the second
name is called Harbashan. And the medish
here goes a little bit homalic and as it
tends to
do whatever the Jewish people have as
food and sustenance.
In other words, Hashem framed it very
clearly in said look you want this
blessing. I gave blessing to Asab
unconditionally
unconditionally. But you call Israel
have a condition. And the condition is
that you follow the Torah. And if you do
follow the Torah you will eat, be
blessed, be sustained unlimited
blessings.
Now, let's move
on. So, which means that it's smooth
like cheese. I mean, they were talking
about probably liquid cheese and not
hard cheese, but it could be hard
cheese. I don't think they had much of
hard cheese back then. They used to use
the the goats the goats milk and it
would be more like what we call today uh
Lebanon or cottage cheese. Even cottage
cheese which is which has no
holes smooth and that's reference to our
character. Even children are the ones
who eat milk and cheese. It's the the
food of children. It's what you feed a
kid for first things you give him.
Mother's milk and the milk products is
what you get. And and it it's our our
youthful innocence, beauty, and more
importantly our our lack of
um our lack of uh mumim which we which
we'll interpret
as uh things that you lack in your body.
Perhaps eyesight is perhaps walking,
perhaps feet, perhaps face, perhaps
whatever it is that is a liui that is a
some sort of infirmity that was cured at
Hari because Hari was the place where
all of Israel
saw they saw the fire and they saw the
sounds and they heard the fire.
You can't. It's an inexplicable
experience. But everybody who had the
caim had the physical tools to see and
hear. What do you mean? They were
avadim. Aadim are famous that if you
knock out their tooth, they go free. So
you know what they used to do mit if you
knock off their teeth or you cut off one
of the one of the heads of their fingers
and your
ears. That's what the Torah says you
cannot do because that's exactly what
they did to the Jews. So they all came
out balm yet somehow the power of
Hashem's presence the onari regenerated
them today we understand that better
because of the concept of DNA that's
been revealed to us now that we're so
close to Messiah we understand concepts
of mem in ways we could never fathom
before a couple weeks ago I was reading
how they've recreated from ancient DNA
thousands of years old Um, animals.
Which animals? I think a wolf. They're
trying to revive an extinct species of
wolf by cloning the old DNA with new DNA
and to create some sort of hybrid
animal. And they want to really regrow
animals from the past. It's like it's
it's it's just like in the movies. And
it's really happening because the
scientific knowledge that Hashem is
bestowing us is moving towards the
extension of life, the revival of life
and the source of life. And we have to
understand that. And that's how Israel's
nunim it's a life force that brings
perfection from all illnesses and
wounds. And we'll get back to that in a
moment. But of course the last one was
Sai and
says oh me. So it says in par 60
[Music]
ultimately the enemies of the Jewish
people will find
destruction over there.
It's the uh capital punishment that that
Hashem will issue to them for what they
have done to the Jewish people
historically and for their using swords
on us and they will then reser then res
re uh receive their conccommatant uh
punishments from Hashem and
then that's the famous statement of this
medish when when the Torah came down to
Sinai
So did
anti-semitism. So let's understand this
a little bit. So there is a maharal the
maharal and gurus hashem. Chapter 23
explains this because if you look at it
the first three are so positive har
means accept hashem as the ultimate
arbiter of the world. The creator of the
world the master of the universe. The
one who gives us our instructions for
living in the Torah itself which he gave
us. and harbashan from the word shane
which means life and sustenance and
blessing if we keep Torah mitzvah which
are coming down with it. That makes
sense. And then that the Torah will heal
imperfections. And this is not a joke.
This literally means that the power of
Torah can bring healing. This is why we
go to people who are great sadikim and
great davers and great experts in Torah.
Usually they have to be both because
they can actually be mamik life. They
can actually, it says that the that the
Tani that the Amoray in in their day
2,000 years ago, they could all dom how
they were able to draw down the energy
from within the Torah to revive the DNA
because it's the and the power is the or
by
Torah's you saw the or which is a
reference to Torah as good as good. What
does that mean? Fully restored, good to
go. And the goyam on the other hand will
experience it as destruct can can
experience it as destruction and
anti-semitism. How could those two
things go together? How could you have
such a magnificent experience which all
beautiful and good and and blessed and
at the same time destruction? It's like
kind of like life and death, black and
white.
What how could it be? How do we live
with that contradiction? It's it says I
heard a brighter would
say it's a contradiction living within
each other that it's all of life and yet
at the same time it's it's destruction
it's utter
destruction. So what so the the to
reconcile this the gurus hashem the
maharal writing about
Israel and the gula he says
It's a tremendous gift and a tremendous
compliment to us that we receive the
Torah. Remember says that wears film.
What's in Hashem's film? The Gomorrah
asks
on
inos. Then it speaks about the three
more parios in the fillin of au so to
speak praising the Jewish people because
they received the Torah because they
received oz the strength which is
representing
fillin. So it's a big deal that we were
chosen for this honor a very big deal
but the the thing is that
um at the same time it evokes a
jealousy.
So those they didn't make the didn't
make the cut as it were. They have to
rely on the Jewish people to share with
them. They don't have to cling to the
Jewish people to share with them these
Milos. They don't want
to. They'll say, "Wait, if I didn't get
it directly from Hashem, then I don't
want it."
and the sed says
the elim means that there's a god in the
world and if you don't are not happy
with that then you're going to want to
make your own seder you're going to try
to make things the way you want just
like the ishim said no it wasn't a kitak
and that he was chosen and he's the
father of yakov is going to build so no
it was so they don't they want to erase
the mitzio which is very easy when all
you have is a loyalty to verbal or oral
teaching. They don't have a text. The
Christians uh Ram said at least they at
least they have or preserve a text which
you can check out and read it yourself.
The Arabs don't have that. They have
their hadiths. They have their prayers
and their Quran. Of course, was written,
but it's it's it's all, you know, it's
all a verbal thing
and and that's what they
study. They're much closer to the
concept of an oral Torah than they are
to a written
to and other way around for the
Christians, the Ram said. So, they each
got something from the Jewish people.
And of course we're we're influencing.
We continue to influence but there's
resistance and there has to be
resistance. The Maharal explains because
by definition if people want to
cooperate with Israel then guess what
they become part of Israel. The par
classic paradigm of that is Yro heard by
Yeshma Israel. He heard what about Cla
Israel. He heard about their praises. He
didn't even know. Some say he came after
Matra some say he came before.
Rashi Ramb but basically Yro heard and
joined the Jewish people supported
them. He might have had a little he did
a brisma. He might have been a little
feeling bad that he was born not Jewish
but you know what he got over it and he
joined the Jewish people. In fact in
this week's parial we see that he Raul
or his father are we Moshe personally
pleads with him come to user Israel.
We're going to give you a choice part of
our Israel. You know which part they
reserved for for the children of Israel.
Unbelievable. It's the piece of land
that was going to serve as an exchange
for whichever tribe donated the Ba
Mikdash was going to get that as an
exchange. So they're holding the
picadon. They're holding this piece of
land for whoever is going to give the BA
mdash. That's that's like sacred
ground. And that's where we want to put
you on a big pedestal in the middle of
everything.
And that's the way you're supposed to
go. That's what the are supposed to do.
They don't have to join us all the way.
They can say kind of like we heard Rou
say, "I'll go home to my family. I'll be
a I'll be a Noahide. I'll be I'll be
someone who believes in Hashem, believes
in the Torah, believes in the seven
mitzvah. I'll be a mench. I'll I'll I'll
bless Cl Israel and so on. I won't try
to impose our will upon them." But then
those that do deny and refuse to accept
the unique uh gifts of Israel and how
they can offer life to anyone on the
planet including all of them. So if they
reject that then it's going to be so the
imperative of anti-semitism according to
the is the choice that the have when the
Torah came down either you take
it you want to go with it you'll be
you're included just grab onto the
cotails of kal israel either join them
or don't lag too far behind and you're
in uh it's described picaboa as a a uh
branch that's grafted onto a living
tree. A dead branch grafted onto a
living tree. Ron Kal says this. Ramal
says that's what a gar is. A g is a
implant, a graft and he'll grow and
he'll be filled with and life
gavunashan you attach to the Jewish
people and you'll gain life. No, we
don't want to. And therefore they'll
experience and they'll attack the Jewish
people and they'll have hatred against
the Jewish people and jealousy against
the Jewish people because they want to
do it their way. Convince them how many
Jews have been lost through all the
anti-semitic efforts throughout the
ages. Now when you speak about today's
anti-semitism which is scary I'm not
saying it's not. That Egyptian guy
apparently lived next to uh a from
couple and it looked like a kabad couple
to me and he could have easily
firebombed their house. But apparently
his wife showed up with not kosher
cupcakes to offer them a greeting when
they moved into their house a few days,
you know, a little bit before this
bombing. You don't know who you're
living next to.
He looks like a good
guy, but
unfortunately there's an imperative of
there's an imperative of anti-semitism
in the world. It cannot be escaped. Do
not let it surprise you.
when Hashem ramps up as he did starting
with October 7th, unleashed tremendous
anti-semitism into the world. It has not
been the same since then. The even
though it was bad, the situation now is
grave. a big conference that was
supposed to be held in in uh Texas of of
supporters of Israel was canled because
they couldn't guarantee safety and
security. Jews cannot guarantee that
their gatherings will be safe and
secure. This is just like Vienna or
Germany in the late 30s.
This is what Crystal N was all was was
expressing. First came all the boycots,
then came all the you know and it's
funny that people fail to realize how
ironic it is that every bit of
assimilation was undone by Hitler and
Makshima starting in 1935 when they
published the Nermberg laws. Jews who
had assimilated married out rejected
their religion. He didn't care. It
doesn't care if you're a Christian or
whatever you are. If you have one Jewish
grandparent, you were to be exterminated
because the zer is means Jewish blood is
flowing in your veins. Even if it's only
from the father, still gives you some
sort of spiritual status. And of course,
we want to develop it through gris, but
it's something. And and um he wouldn't
tolerate it. wouldn't tolerate Jews
being in universities, wouldn't tolerate
Jews being um in any professional, not
the government, not anything. Not
anything. All the achievements that the
emancipation had had, all were erased.
Every brilliant professor, doctor,
teacher, um banker, whatever it might
be, all out. Hashem pluck them out from
where they had thought they would find
safety, security, and blessing. That's
not the hard. Sorry, that's not your
harbashan, not forever. So, how should
we be surprised that this is happening
now? Ella, what I will tell you is the
difference is that we are now facing
Ishmael and
Ishmael is called Peram and therefore
the wildness of it. The fact that
somebody would come with malttoough
cocktails and try to burn people, I
mean, you know, or with a gun and shoot
people in their in in cold blood, that
is an
example of of the hatred that is going
on right now because of the rejection of
Torah Msinai. That's it. You want to
tell me this reason for anti-semitism?
You want to tell me that reason for
anti-semitism? I'm sorry. It's not what
the Kazal say.
say it straight. Either you're with
Torah or you're against us. And it's a
choice that the have to make and it's
our job to portray it in such a
beautiful way that they will want to
with generosity with kindness and even
then there's a second factor that Hashem
wants to move the gula process forward.
So, aside from all the things we said
right now, when Hashem wants Jews to go
on the move, and we're not going to go
through this historically right now, he
wants Jews to move. He wants the Jews
out of Spain and head towards the
Levant, towards Turkey, towards Lebanon,
towards Spat, towards Israel, towards
towards Europe, towards Western Europe,
Northern Europe. That's that's when the
expulsions come. when Hashem decides,
you know, and and and in Europe, there
was constant expulsions until the
Holocaust for, you know, for hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds of years. And
in Russia, we can't even talk. They
wouldn't let the Jews in to begin with.
And when they took them over, what they
did to them. So, this is a point that
Hashem
says, I'm moving history forward. It may
be dark. It may look dark. It may look
painful, but there is an overall
destination that the Jewish people needs
to forge. Of course, thank God. It's a
remarkable statistic, and I'm going to
end this section with
this, that in
18 40 there were only 10,000 Jews in the
entire land of Israel. That's not a long
time ago.
1840, 100 years, not even 200 years.
There was 10,000 Jews here. Okay. Now
there's over 7
million. How did that happen? So any
which way you want to look at it, the
the hand of Hashem is moving history.
Anti-semitism is often the energy, the
fire. I learned in chemistry many years
ago, organization requires energy. If
you want to reorganize people, want to
break down molecules, want to move
things along, the heat and fire of um
evantism will light a flame under a
complacent population. But Hashem says
this gullus has had his time has
expired. Okay, we shall see and we
hope we hope that things will not um get
worse. But my perspective what I'm
offering to you today based on this
medish is that it's always an imperative
that comes with the beginning of the
Jewish people with kabala comes
anti-semitism. Know that appreciate
that. Don't feel badly about that and
don't be surprised at it. And the only
way we can really really make sure
is hang on to that. Hang on to theim of
Hashem and go with the direction that
Hashem is is sending us. and then we we
should benefit. Okay, I'm gonna stop
here and I want to go on to a
completely different aspect. So let's
stop the the um this part of this year.
Okay, the topic of this segment of our
learning today. We just finished our our
segment on anti-semit the imperative of
anti-semitism or the mystical roots of
anti-semitism according to the
medish and I'll add to
that it's not something can be explained
but it's a
traditional it derives from seni because
of the uh fact that the choice is put to
the non-Jewish world will you join the
Jews like a Israel will you fight the
Jews like a malik or Ishmael what are
going to choose and when they don't
choose the Torah they experience hatred
and anti-mitism and it leads to which is
why it's called and often to their own
destruction as we have seen many many
times and harai is is from the word sin
of hatred that comes down to the we
don't know what they're going to do with
that they can either recant and join and
and have life or seek to destroy and
that's what
have been historically confronted with.
There's no way out of it. It is by
definition and by design and it
has stamps. There is no other way
forward and that's the so one shouldn't
uh waste their time trying to convert
anti-semmites to to
phosites because that's just not in
their DNA. It's not what Hashem wants.
Hashem wants them to convert to Torah.
If you can do that, if you can if you
can so influence them by your goodness,
then we've even seen Abdul Million
Abdulos that even Hitler had had certain
Jews that he admired and pardoned,
including his mother, his doctor, his
mother's doctor was a kind, dedicated
German Jewish
physician. It's inexplicable.
But let's move on. Okay.
um in your there's been a dramatic
discovery that I think we should all
discuss and that has to do with the fact
that over the centuries and particularly
since the era of the Aria Kadosh we have
traditions about where great Jewish
figures are buried. figures from the
Tanakh such as the tribes of Israel,
figures such as the rabbis of the Talmud
and the Mishna. Some have been very have
been verified. Of course, there's Karl.
That's what the most ancient one and
even earlier than that is uh is uh of
course which is certainly verifi
verified. So we have a few places one of
them is uh Yoseph and Shrem. They are
biblical the biblical sources that the
tribes were carried out of Egypt and
buried in various places in Erit Israel.
Now one anomaly of this was the burial
spot of Binyam and Benyakov the brother
of Yoseph Hatsadic. There is a
tradition that's been gone on for a
while several hundred years that infar
sabah which is more in the direction of
Tel Aviv and the coastal areas central
Israel than in eastern Israel like
Jerusalem
is the place that that people go to
Davin for binyam had
sadic and that's a travel destination
people travel there if they want to dab
and buy the
sadic But recently about two years
ago there were the problem conceptually
was that Kafar Saba is nowhere near the
biblical territory of Beyammen. We know
the biblical territory of Yemen is
north. In fact right at the bound the
northern boundary of Jerusalem is the
beginning of
Shvyamin. And if you drive north of
Jerusalem you'll see right away the
little wolf on the highway designating
it's a spot of binyamin. Of course, our
Gomorrah identifies and that's the
tradition that a strip of the land of
Binyammen entered the holy temple and
reached all the way to two sides of the
Msbayak. Now, the Misbayak is so
critical because by offering carbonos,
the Jewish people stay alive. They stay
connected to Hashem. They they atone for
their sins. They give thanks to Hashem.
the the whole experience of avoda which
today of course is relegated into the
world of prayer the b the ba mikdash is
you know unfortunately gave way to the
besset where that's the muck of the avod
which is a shab it's
only but the real
avod which was in in the b migish mashem
should be rebuilt
speedily was centered on the outer altar
and and and That Msbayak, that outdoor
Mizbayak had four sides, two of which
were to the north and they belonged to
the territory of Binyamin. There's a
small strip of toiny that came down from
the north to reach into the territory of
Yehuda and then the two sides of
Msbayak. And on the other side, Yehuda
had two section, two um corners of the
of the of the Msbayak. But guess what?
The isode of the Misbayak where you pour
the blood didn't have a builtup portion
to it. It was it was more like flat. It
didn't have a builtup rig around it like
Yehudas did. That's where the blood was
poured. That's where the capara was.
Because Binyammen has a unique place in
the history of the tribes of Israel and
that is he was never involved in the
hatred of Yoseph and the sale of Yoseph
which represents interessing Jewish
conflict and
hatred. And through him actually the
brothers were reunited as Yoseph his
brother used him as a tool. And so much
so that Binyammen yearned for his older
brother Yoseph by naming 10 sons after
him. This has a according to Khazal that
there was a reason for this. Yoseph had
two tribes but really he should have had
all 12. He should have been a second
Yakov A of Enu and the other tribes
would have fallen by the wayside. But
they earned their way back and that was
the destiny that Yakov should be the one
to create the 12 tribes, not Yoseph. And
Yoseph did produce two, but he lost the
capacity to produce another 10 because
he did have some some defect in what
happened with him and Asus Potifier. He
was um very stimulated by her. He
emitted seed and those that seed each
droplet took away his capacity to build
another tribe of Israel which is a very
deep connotation because it's called
meet but of course he was innocent of
any
wrongdoing and so much so that the 12
that the 10 sons of named after their
brother his brother
Yoseph so for example because I wasn't z
to be and when they do the the account
of the genealogy of each one is the
names are given there's some unusual
names
mim those names each have a connotation
of his his desire to connect with his
brother Yoseph which are for which
fortunately he was able to do for
everyone so one of the main points about
the basa migdash is that it's a tikun
for sinas
It holds the Jewish people together with
each other and together with Hashem.
There should be no hatred among
Jews. And there should no be hatred
between Israel and
Hashem. Only Binyammen can provide that.
Well, people have been traveling to Far
Saba for uh
generations. But now there's something
else. And this I'll give you over a
little bit of the history. Okay, this
the the students there were two main
figures here. There's a little place
near
Mearm and literally you can walk if you
understand the the geography of Masharm
there's the famous Kikar Shabbat. It's
where Strauss Street which was the
extension of King which is the extension
of King George
right I think it's called Kikartion. Is
that Kikion?
uh which is King George Street leads
down to Stra Street and it meets uh Mal
Israel and that four-way intersection is
the walkway into Mayarm and all the
shops of Gula very very unique and
special place and I was to be there a
little while back uh a week or so ago
and I was introduced to a place that I
had never seen before and if you walk
from Kikash Shabbat up not towards
Strauss but it these and then that's
called Rob
Yeshayahu walk up a little bit you'll
see an anat glasses store hidden behind
there you go behind like a nondescript
wall and you will see a beautiful
courtyard this courtyard was built by
the Istadut when they made that huge
building at the corner of Strauss
street. It was a theater. It was the old
Edison theater. It was um it was
supposed to be a a secular culture
center and that's what it was. And and
they built like a beautiful park in the
back. It's tiled and it's all and kids
play there. It's actually quite
beautiful. And then in there is a small
but magnificent kipa. There's a
structure in there that houses a newly
refurbished site of prayer called Kev
Binyamin. And you'll see if you go in
there you'll see Binyamin and then a
couple of his sons are buried there. And
according to the tradition I'll mention
to you in a moment the rest of the sons
are buried in the courtyard. This is
very very very unusual because although
we have a
tradition that theatim came out and they
were buried in their which means it
makes a lot of sense that beyammen would
be in gula because that's like the
northern portion uh north of the uh old
city and then be buried there as opposed
to sabah has nothing to do with but why
was he buried with his sons we don't
find that we don't find the sons of the
of theatim came back with them. Why
this? It could be I'm speculating that
it's it's to symbolize the fact that
these 10 sons were an extension of
Yoseph. They were a tribe. They were the
10 tribes of Yoseph together with his
that formed what I would call the Yod of
Claw Israel. The Malus of Claw Israel as
we speak is through Yehuda. But the
necessary connection point is called
yod. That's according to kabaha. Yod is
olam. These were two great sadikim and
yoseph. And it is their combined
righteousness
uh that paves the way the holiness so
that we can actually create a unified
nation under one mus which is no easy
task. That was Yehuda's great gift.
But if you own if you don't have you
don't have mahus. Now you understand the
connector between theatim of Yosephim
which is north of Binyammen Byam and
then right up to the right up to the
Misbay Kapara which is
called that is the influence of of the
sons of Rahel and they must link through
Binyam just as it was historically in
the Kish the linkage between Yoseph and
Yehuda who are protagonists rightash
Yehuda is ready to to murder murder
Yoseph, take him out, take him out, take
him down. The Binyammen was the
peacemaker. Binyammen was the unifying
figure, right? And he was the unifying
figure because of his incredible love
for Yoseph as opposed to
the rest of the brothers demonstrated as
led by Ruven Shim. Okay. So, this point
has a name. It's called Pitka Dearta.
So, I'm going to read you what it's
brought down here about this mysterious
place and maybe we'll take a little
trip, but I can tell you it's a
magnificent place to dive in. It's a
small building keep. It's carved out so
gorgeous and it was renovated.
There's a Jew named Yakov who is Moser
Nephes to reclaim this site. And the
credibility they claim for this being a
correct burial place is uh is as
follows. In the
safer, which is an which is an old
medish, it says as follows.
Asher
bin. He was buried in Devi. Now
remember, Yus controlled what we call
today the temple mount, the old city.
David Amel came and got rid of them and
Yav got rid of them. It was well before
the tribal
entry way well after the tribal entry
territory Israel. When the Jews first
get there with Yeshua, it's another 500
years before Dove and Amel, right? the
entire Mishkan Shilo plus Gilgal all
those years until Kimat 500 years until
they can get the Yusi that tribe out of
out of Harabas and then purchase the
last plots of land there. So if there is
a tradition that you know as soon as the
Jews came in with the 12th on their you
know carrying the 12im their bones
then the was buried right there at that
spot and they call uh is is verified
that it's got to be around there. It's
up against the area which we today call
very close to the old city which me is
now another one another source is from
Yoseph
Sofat wrote in his
book which was published in
1762. So here we have another testimony.
It's not far saba. It's just not far
saba. We have a testimony from 176 1762
and he certainly had a tradition from
Yseph. Okay. So no burial place is
in north
Jerusalem from 1835. It is
written same thing as in right up
against the old city area. There's
another safer called Masos Moshe which
was published in 1924 again says the
same
thing and it's it's right off Riverov
Strauss number 13
um and right ne right as it as it
intersects with it's the back of it's
the back of Strauss 13 as it intersects
with Shy I told you there's an
anat there's a eyeglass door we should
We should
see we should see a put in your Google
and you'll find it
there. Okay. Now, there is in that
courtyard a mosque and the thought is
that the mosque is a sign is a is is a
logical place for a mosque because they
must they always build mosques when
there's a Jewish holy place. So, that's
another signal that this must be a
special place because of the presence of
a mosque. Okay. Now it says as follows.
the Rebi of Poris who was one of the
makubim
of I read you what it says what he what
he
saysim they will
testify this this keep this beautiful
little stone domed building
uh is
isamyakov and the people who said this
were the admir Parisav Ruda
Shinfeld who is the student of the
Kalban the milkman was one of the
venerable cabalistic
personalities the group that lived in uh
Tel Aviv area Sadikim Harav
Abishworth Harav El Duelli Rabbi Batri
who's a very
well-known credible very credible person
Harav Jakov Adis I mean huge these are
huge people and the makdavid Cohen
Hakohhane
Shamaros cover he's buried right there
in that
structure kulo in that area that they
made into a paved area. The other 10
sons some are buried inside and some are
buried outside. And therefore it was the
custom that
ones which is considered the day of the
death the sight of
I think this coincides
with so they go there
after the great come to Davin they're
traditionally at the
atosyakov now the le of
arbi of of l of
nichlsburg he came there and he said as
follows
that the sandler remember we spoke about
the holy milkman was one of them one of
the hidden sadikim there was another one
of ava who earned their living doing
meager tasks and then they were the
greatest mukb of the generation the
sandler the holy shoemaker yak of mosher
ribe would davin over there we used to d
in
sabah but
uh when he showed him the safer
hayasharin is not buried there he
said he said you cannot deny the
safarash but why did the sandar kesh go
to
karsaba why did he go to karsaba
because any place that the Jewish people
designate with all their focus and all
their
is he says the tadic will come to them
in other words like all the graves that
they are re identified so
We can believe 100% that that's the
actual burial place. But even if you're
skeptical about that, the fact that it
was identified by the area as a place
with the spirit of that great sadic
would reside and that it's been dabin
there, then the nishama will respond to
that. The risha responds to people who
gather in their memory and that will
actually draw the nishama to that place.
So, Farsaba did of course have a some
sort of connection because people died
in there, but the Mccoros and the and
the cabalistic tradition uh speak
otherwise. And they want to explain that
faraba was called in Arabic nebi nebin
because the Arabs always copy the the u
the historical Jewish names but um that
was that was not the uh the intended
area. And we have other people who are
um who have identified this and and and
the tradition goes back to the GR and I
can't go back go into too much detail
about this because I think uh our time
is up but the Tamidiah GR from the GR
came with this tradition that if you
gather here and dive in here at this
place which is known as Pitka
Dearta the opening of the city the gates
of the
city
Right. That was the that was the
entrance way to the upper city in the
time of the base
amdash. So the opening of these gates I
believe is an incredible incredible
um reality shift. It could very well be.
I encourage you to go because worse
comes the worst. You dive into and and
and you you dive in on behalf of the
Shama. on behalf of the you pleaded for
the help of the
shamayim you're in the right place
whichever way you look at
it
and if you believe the testimony of
the and
the we should make an effort at least
the next time that you're
uh go check it out if you want to come
with me on a trip I'm happy to take you
there I just want to report and say that
this is an important travel
destination. And amidst all the terrible
anti-semitism, there's an incredible ray
of hope because now we have a context.
Why is it that Yeshal is firing at us so
much right now? Well, remember what I
told you. Since they claimed that Yeshal
was it was a Yeshua, the fight between
Yeshua and us is over that incident
which is paramura in
harra as more about erusel as a
yusha. He wasn't even aware that existed
but he wanted
theasu which was non-specific to us. So
I would conjecture I'll leave you with
this that the the trials and
tribulations of
asavik ended with the entry on mass of
the Jewish people into Israel. That's
what they tried to prevent. That's what
Hitler was gunning about. That's what
the MUI was gunning about. They tried to
prevent our entry into the land. But
these are trying to block our entry as
we see they have alakamas on Harabas.
This we should take encouragement and
we're getting closer. We are really
really close. The battle today's
antise-mitism is over
Harab nothing less. That means we're in
my
personal conceptual understanding of
things. That's what we're fighting about
right now. And that means things are
cooking in your shim. Let's hope for
more good
news of of Israel and the
Gillishina in the spirit of
Hadik who is the um who
is we do that and we hold
the we shall see the not only the
opening of the gates to but the rest as
well of the mdash. Have a great week.
