The Removal of Protection From Israel's Enemies with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom everybody Welcome to the Y mid of course we are guest at the ER debate mid and welcome home to Torah a very warm welcome we are dealing with chapter 32 31 verse2 chapter 31:2 in B midbar pares Matos now before we begin I just want to give the regular introduction but I want to add a few points so for those who are unfamiliar with what we do here we use the clear as the basis for our discussion what is the clear who is the clear I've discussed that at length many times but in short he lived 450 years ago he became the r of Prague after the maharal the most one of the most famous Jewish philosophers and haist and I just want to mention what exactly is M because the the maharal and of course the klear his star student deals with what we call MAK Mak is basically Jewish philosophy and deals with profound questions like the inner workings of the universe which we will deal with tonight especially we're going to talk about angels we're going to talk about the death of evil the death of evil people we're going to deal deal with all that but understand that makava is a precursor to cabala in order to master the discipline of cabala you actually have to first Master the discipline of makava makava is deep thought okay philosophical thought I just want to mention that we'd like to encourage people to learn Hebrew so down below in the description box of YouTube there are links where you can pick up the original Hebrew sheets we we will be working with we encourage you to do that as well as links to previous classes classes on other subjects tonight's topic we're going to discuss or we're going to cover the issues such as Angels right we talk about how the universe works battles physical battles as well as the battles in heaven especially battling evil where the demise of evil or the death of those who fight against Israel which can you imagine in this week's paraa we're going to be dealing with that when if you've seen the news or heard the news you understand clearly that some of the I don't want to call them great people God forbid but some of the uh the um the people who have most threatened Israel or have been to a threat to Israel or or have harmed Israel okay have um have found their end uh in this world um I do want to mention that who are the real soldiers see my my students here tonight you guys are the real soldiers because what we're going to see is how the universe works we do good deeds down here we do Torah we observe the Torah we keep the Torah we do Mitzvah and that's going to affect the heavens the battles actually take place in heaven and then they play themselves out down here and what we're going to discuss tonight is how that has happened in the last week okay which we will see shortly so we do the Torah Mitzvah we shake and awaken the heavens so it's called an Awakening From Below but in the end there's an Awakening above that plays itself out down here down below um another idea happens to be in Proverbs 11:1 okay when it goes well with the righteous the city rejoices and when the wicked perish Let There Be song Let There be glad song so without going into any detail we all pick up the news we all know what happened therefore we should have in our minds to sing this glad song okay so let's start with the CLE card the CLE card Begins for us in chapter 31 verse 2 if you notice in ver 30 uh 31 verse1 it's Moses being spoken to by God so God says to Moses the following words is so God is saying to to Moses that this is what he should say over to the Jewish people that they should take Vengeance for the children of Israel against the midianites now I just want you to notice in the Hebrew it says Nik is the vengeance is for the sake of the Jewish Jewish people I also want you just to notice at this moment the word mid is plural the midianites now the cleard is making this bold statement or observation that mosha was Shar Moses actually changed the words when he told this message over to the Jewish people to Ben Israel he changed God's word wow you got do you understand look at verse three it's number two on the sore sheet Moses spoke to the people saying you know what let me just read verse first verse two so God says take revenge for the children of Israel against the midianites afterwards you Moshe will be gathered to your people which means you mosha will die this is a very important piece are you listening guys it's a very important piece to know that Moses is told that after he and the Jewish people take a revenge on the midianites after the war is finished Moses the leader will pass away in Hebrew El afterwards you will be gathered to your people okay now verse three that's when Moses now speaks to the people saying arm from among you men for the Army so they can W they can wage war against Midian to carry out listen to what it says revenge of the Lord against Midian now in Hebrew nikmat Hashem before we said nikmat Ben Isel here we say nikmat Hashem so Moses changes the words what else happened God told him what to say he didn't say it he said something else God originally told him it's going to be for the Vengeance of the children of Israel when Moses speaks to them he says it's Vengeance against God you know for the sake of God just keep a note it says bidan in English it's Midian not midianites which would be plural but against midan meaning against let's just say the nation for that's but it's singular now Rashi says on verse three says when Moses spoke it says in Rashi although he heard that his death depended on the matter in other words as a result of finishing this this war and the war was according to what God told him was for the sake of Ben Israel yet he changed it for the sake of the Jewish people he nevertheless he did it joyfully and he did it without delay let's now look at the clear so we read the first line so take Vengeance for the children of Israel against the midianites Moses changed the word words he changed the words to let take out the um hashem's Vengeance against midan big observation big huge huge furthermore rashi rashi explains and this are the words we read in English but here is in Hebrew even though Moses heard that his his very own life depended on this matter meaning that once this war was finished he would be out of the picture he would go on to the next world he would be gathered to his people nevertheless also he did it with alacrity with fervor with joy but he did not Delay Mon Rashi lar came the clear s on rash where did Rashi come up with this idea what idea that Moses Not only was happy but he didn't delay I mean anybody would have been disappointed or sad if um if he if your life depended on finishing it you were going to then pass away why why would he be happy the most logical conclusion would be that he would be sad but on the other hand on account of this you think that Moses wouldn't fulfill the word of God this is still God's word and Moses who would be like who who's like him he always fulfills the word of God without delay well Masha perish now if we go to verse five which is number three in the sori I just pointed the out the word theas because look at the the Hebrew look at the English verse from the thousands of Israel 1,000 was given over from each for each tribe 12,000 armed for battle now the word vasu is passive usually you would think they gave themselves over right they remember when Israel went to war right after October 7th we had 150% um recruiting rate even for the milim right people came out of the woodwork that weren't even obligated to fight so basically you're talking about volunteers pushing themselves forward in the line here look at rash means it's a passive form used to inform you of the virtues of the Israelite Shepherd leaders how cherished they were by Israel meaning they understood that Moses's death depended on this and they did not volunteer for this they they were forced viu it mean means that they were handed over not that they handed themselves over meaning there was a draft of some sort and there was a mandatory draft for that matter when they had not yet heard of his death meaning prior to understanding that Moses would have died think about what happened in Exodus chapter Exodus 17 verse4 Moses himself said these people they don't like me oh soon they're going to they're going to they're going to Stone me they were not actually in love with mosha when they first left Egypt okay there were many um trials and tribulations in moses' relationship with the Jewish people yet now this is towards the end of his life and Rashi continues but as soon as they heard that Moses's demise was contingent upon the revenge against Midian they refused to go that's how much they love the leadership of Israel mosha until they were given over against their will and that's what it means that they didn't go willingly so the clear uses the Hebrew this is a quotation from Rashi to inform us how praised and loved were the manim of Israel the leaders of Israel they were actually forced against their will they could have made an excuse and we're going to see what the excuse could have been we want mosha to live if this war is dependent on his demise let's push it off but no they were um they had they were forced to go in now the cleart ends this paragraph it actually doesn't explain in the text itself what actually forced them right we don't know all that we know is that Rashi says that Moses was happy to go this implies maybe they were not happy to go and nevertheless vasu they were forced to go so we don't have Clarity yet on what exactly is happening behind the scenes now in order to clarify the whole matter you have to understand the they caused two very bad things to happen we're going to use the word evil they caused they us they did two very evil acts one towards heaven which means towards God and one towards the Jewish people now when we read what happened towards heaven it could be you might say well that's really to Israel but let's just stick with the words and I'll explain so they did two very evil things one was towards heaven towards God they caused Israel to sin so by causing Israel to sin I would have thought that's a negative towards the Jewish people but it's really towards heaven because listen to the two sins they sinned with a votara they caused the Jews to worship the B and they caused the Jewish people to commit atrocities in sexual relations now you might where is these are mitz that are these are between us and God when the Jewish people serve god without any other intermediaries or anything that's foreign that's between us and God and when we are involved God forbid in Zen so the truth is that's between us and God obviously there's another person involved but the moral it's a moral issue that is between us and God and then the second idea is we they also the midianites caused us um caused um harm to the Jewish people and that's easy to understand through their advice they caused Mel they caused 24,000 Jews to be uh killed in in this plague okay so you have 24,000 Jews that's that's between man and man okay so so what did God originally say to Moshe he said right in verse two you're going to take Vengeance for the sake of the Jewish people on the sake of Israel see as far as God is concerned anything against him he can easily forgo M Overlook forgive permit say it's okay he could certainly do that because you know God is not really harmed right you cannot harm God so whatever you know aara and zus he was easily forgoing and forgiving because that was against him which he could do remember man can be very sinful but what can you actually do to hasem you can't harm him the but the real Vengeance that God originally told Moses was for the sake of Israel because they caused 24,000 Jews to die because of their scheming because of their seduction because of their as I said scheming they were um they wanted to curse the Jews is it's the real um Vengeance was because of what they did to the Jewish people it was a great Mighty evil when you inflict pain and kill Jews why why why why why just wait till you hear what's going to happen to you when Moses originally heard what God Said remember he said afterwards you would be gathered to your people afterwards you're going to be gathered to your people so is El Man by this time it's in the latest years before they enter the land of is land of of of Israel after so many years in the desert Moses knew at this point how much they loved their leaders they knew he Aon Miriam so what did Moses say in his heart MOS said in his heart if I tell over to the Jewish people what God told me that they're going to take Vengeance for the sake of the Jewish people what are they going to say if I tell them over just like I heard in my own ears from the mouth of the Almighty after the fact that they know that the Jewish people know that my death is dependent on the on this Vengeance then you know what the Jewish the Jewish people are going to say now just as God was able to forgive alelo for his portion the part of the honor that was not attributed properly to God so maybe we can do the same thingu so too you know what we can forgive them for what they did wrong to us no doesn't work like that see hasem is AEM and he can't be harmed here 24,000 Jews are already dead so you know what we the Jews will do we won't seek this Vengeance so quickly let's drag it out let's right let's have mosha live a long time we don't have to take Vengeance right now we are actually able to it's in our ability to drag out to delay the time of this Vengeance until we decide that it's you because it's going to come from within us when we finally our patients have drawn out have finished then we'll then we'll do it MOS what about MOS now we did say that Moses was determined and full of joy and alacrity to do the word of Hashem without delay so what did he do he went ahead and changed remember if he would have said that the Ben Israel it's the Vengeance for the Ben Israel they could easily say what I just said that you know what it's our Vengeance and we have the right to choose when it'll be done and we don't want it to be done right now but he changed it he said it's for the Vengeance of Hashem and for that you cannot delay so he went ahead and changed it and he said like in verse three that we're going to inflict you need to inflict hashem's Vengeance against Midian so what would the Jewish people then thinking the is that means the Jewish people would then consider from the very fact that Hashem this is what they heard Moses say that Hashem himself wants them to seek this Vengeance because of his Honor's honor who has the right to um to delay the portion of honor to hem nobody and that's what forced them they felt compelled to do it immediately and not delay now regarding this motivation regarding this Force call motivating force Mo it says remember they were forced they were delivered in verse three after Moses already told them in verse three that you need to take out hashem's Vengeance again against midan it has to be Moshe here we're talking about the Jewish people were forced to do this without Delay from here you have clearcut proof that it was Moses who remember we asked Rashi how did we know how does he know that Moses did it and he didn't delay because he changed the words through his changing the words he knew we it's proof that Moses wanted it to happen and therefore he changed the words so they didn't have an excuse remember Moses had the ability to draw it out and he didn't he changed the words so they didn't have this excuse he could have if he used the words that God used from the very beginning that it was the the Vengeance was for the sake of the Jewish people Moses instead changed if he would have kept what God had said they could easily have found reason for the delay remember in verse two in the very beginning it used the word it's plural but in verse three it says see is singular when you compare the MIM against the Jewish people so they were a lot there were a lot of midianites also and there were many of these midianites that performed or did whatever they did to the Jewish people how else were they right but in respect to what they did to hem in fact this is even more clear so 24,000 Jews were were killed through the plague because of the sin but when it comes to the value of what they did to Hashem as we said you can't really harm hasem the value is like one to hem like you cannot even compare what a little one individual is to the greatness of the almighty all the midianites were like nothing like one man or actually the Hebrew is V you cannot describe the value it's like nothing when you compare them so we're just getting an Insight why in verse two it's MIM plural and that was when it was a Vengeance against the Jewish people whereas verse three it's Vengeance against for God's sake and therefore it's singular because you cannot compare however some say remember in verse three at singular it says M mid but midan in verse three that's the second one so this is going to get very metaphysical it's referring to the SAR shidan Lala let me just give you a little bit of background but we're going to see it in the medish Every Nation except Israel has a guardian angel and that Guardian Angel provides Providence has protection and all their needs their maintenance it's basically a protector when it comes to the Jewish people the name yes we Have No intermediary we go right to Hashem that is our our relationship it's Yar kale okay now in verse we just said it's singular and the clear card is telling us that it's referring to a arch angel a administering angel of Midian in heavens above and he uses a verse in Exodus 14:10 to explain what happened in Egypt in chap number four in the sore sheet chapter 14:10 it says Pharaoh Drew near and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes what do you think they were looking at we're going to see should I tell you now it's the angel of of Egypt and behold it says in English anyway the Egyptians were advancing after them we'll have to see the Hebrew they were very frightened the Jewish people were very frightened and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord now let's look in the Hebrew the second page hick so Pharaoh approached it says Pharaoh doesn't say Egypt Pharaoh approached the is the Jewish people plural they lifted up their eyes he behold it's which we would think means the Egyptians but it says in in singular no him the word no say ah is what singular it's singular so Egypt is singular Egypt traveled after them we'll have to see what that means theum they were very afraid why were they afraid now they were chasing him the whole time it's and the je people screamed out to God so the clear points out sharu as it says inos which we'll see shortly Al this this idea that there was this pursuing of the Egyptians it was an Egyptians plural but it's singular because of the arch angel of Egypt and we're relating this back to Midian why is Midian singular because of what they did in terms of their Archangel their Archangel was being kaput okay let's hear it now in the medish because this will actually clarify a lot let's look at Rashi on verse four on what we just quoted from Exodus 14:10 it says you see it on the second page the Egyptians were advancing after them the word NOA is singular like with one Accord like one man but I want to focus on the second Rashi it says alternatively in the singular means and behold Egypt was advancing was chasing after them denoting that the Israelites saw the Heavenly Prince of Egypt and what is the Heavenly Prince we're talking about the SAR okay the Archangel of Egypt advancing from Heaven to Aid the Egyptians at least that's what they thought because they felt guilty from sin okay um so that's where the clear started and it's a very small paragraph he says that's why it says to to do right to give the the um Vengeance of God and the next five words we're going to talk about for the next half hour when it comes to war it's all happening in heaven not down here the wars are for hasem above and not for man now what in the world could we be talking about let's look there was one Rashi I skipped and I think I want to go back to it that just happens to be the first page uh numbers 31 verse2 when we were supposed to take Vengeance against the midianites but the moabites are not on that list look at Rashi but not against the moabites for the moabites were involved in the matter out of fear like we read in a few pares ago since they were afraid of being plundered by them since it since but because all it says is remember in our own Torah it says we're not allowed to cause war against the moabites okay but the midianites that's a different story but this is the interpretation of I wanted to show you because of the two good does virtuous converts who I have in mind meaning Hashem to bring forth who are they number one it's Ruth she's a moabit okay and who comes from her none other than King David and of course all the kings as well as Nama the ammonius and you find that in First Kings 14: 211 it mentions over there in bu 38b that she was King Solomon's wife okay and it's through her that King David Sal the King David's Dynasty and through the her mesiah comes through so she was the mother of ram okay the first king after Solomon okay so that was King Solomon's wife who gave birth to rakam who is the the four what do you call the four bearer of of through the Messiah so anybody who comes through um through that line has a chance of being mhia okay so now we're going to go back to the number five in the source sheet and this is this is shos Raba so let's just read this little part and then I'm going to go into some comments that I found really worthwhile so rebi Alazar Ben padat said by the way this isos Raba 21 uh number two rebi Alazar Ben padat said when Israel departed from Egypt when we left Egypt they lifted up their eyes we saw that in the verse and the Egyptians were pursuing them so the verse we read Pharaoh Drew near and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes and behold Egypt was traveling after them MIT no now it doesn't say now I don't care what English you look at so some English translations say they were traveling but we're going to go with the idea that they was Egypt was traveling and what's the difference between were traveling or was traveling and that is whether it's singular or plural when it's plural you can get away with saying blanky blank we're traveling but if it's a singular thing that means it was traveling so just so you should know when it says no say it means was traveling because MIT here is singular so when pharaoh and the Egyptians came out in Pursuit of them in pursuit of the Jewish people the Jewish people raised their eyes heavenward heavenward and what did they see they saw the angel of Egypt floating in the air now does that mean they actually literally saw the Torah describes it that way I want to say like this that we the Jewish people we are prophetic people whether we actually saw them or not we sensed them we sensed them and we looked Heavenly and we saw the angel floating in the air when they saw him they were very frightened remember it says in kazal that if we actually saw angels all the time because there are angels everywhere that we would go crazy and out of fear and whatnot so there is this special protection that we don't see the Angels outright but we can still perceive them anyway it says when they saw them they were very frightened as the verse says they were very frightened then the verse says behold EGP was traveling after them which is our main point here what does that mean it means the name of the angel of Egypt was Egypt the name of the Archangel over mitam was MIM that was his name as the Holy One ready for this drum roll please but nobody has any desks here as the holy when Blessed Be he does not bring about the downfall n of a Nation until he brings about the downfall of its Angel first now we're going to go deep into this because we saw this past week I can name them who are they I have the list shukar these are like some of the most famous terrorists of the last 20 30 years that that have been taken out meaning they lost their protection and these this is a Simmon this is a sign the very fact that the top guys have lost their protection because they were assassinated or they were just I don't I'm trying to think of a nice word their atoms were disseminated through the universe okay they were obliterated they were destroyed yeah that is proof their protection had been removed okay so we left off with this idea that before Hashem will bring down the nation the downfall the nation the first thing he does is he removes the angel first he'll destroy the angel Angel likewise here's an example you find by neeter that the Holy One Blessed Be he brought down his Angel first it says in Daniel 4:28 while the word was in the king's mouth a voice fell from heaven the word K look at the the the continuation of the medish Rua barin said the actual Angel over Angel over Nebuchadnezzar his name was called as the Holy One Blessed Be he brought him down that's what the verse says a voice fell from heaven likewise the name of the angel of pharaoh was Egypt the name of the Archangel over Pharaoh was Egypt and it was flying to pursue them when the Holy One Blessed Be he sank Egypt into the sea he first sank their angel listen to what it says in Exodus 14: 27 the Lord tossed Egypt singular the whole idea of Ina a also singular the Lord tossed Egypt into the sea first the angel then the nation goes that being the name of the angel of Egypt and then it says and he tossed pharaoh and his host says afterwards actually it also says in Psalms the now it doesn't say their horses and their Riders he cast in the see like it says in Exodus 15:1 that what did he cast into the sea doesn't say plural the horses and their Riders but it's singular Horse and Rider he was Ram this is their angel first so who's who the horse is the Angel and its Rider is the Jewish people is the Egyptian people um so behold Egypt was traveling after them that's the simple shot now what I want to mention is these very important ideas we have been learning the this is Freelander book called faith in Providence where we went through all these ideas right separately right separately right from the CLE car we went through all that and this is like a great review all packed together it's amazing so I wanted to share with you some of the notes of the midash so in bidara 215 where it dealt with all these ideas so I just want to read some of the um comments here so it says here that if the egyp if the Israelites were just simply being pursued by the Egyptians they wouldn't have been gripped with such intense fear for they were well aware um that all that God had recently done for them in while they were in Egypt they they saw the 10 plagues the the sea had well the sea hadn't yet split but they were on their way out however when they saw the Egyptians Heavenly Minister descending to assist his Nation the Israelites feared that God had sent him in retribution for their sins another Point that's made that um that God casts down a particular nation's Heavenly minister in order to disrupt the positive influence on a nation that its Minister causes in heaven so in other words he'll remove that protection he'll remove that protection and then there's one more um comment the mission actually brings down regarding each nation has a specific angel that maintains a certain degree of control over the Affairs of that nation that angel is referred to as a sar meaning the Heavenly minister of that nation and he brings down a few example you should look in Daniel 10: 20- 21 also examine the ramban on Leviticus 18:25 uh he mentions here in the comments this is I'm using the art scr um medish to explain this that the verb journeying we saw NOA is in the singular hence it could not be referring to the Egyptian Nation the mid therefore explains that it's referring to their Heavenly minister also the sight of the Egyptians Heavenly Minister frightened the Israelites who fear that he had been sent by God to exact retribution for their own sins which is a good thing right that is probably why we have fear because we don't actually notice these angels but angels are coming um to um to wake us up to do um tror another oh this is amazing piece so it's very interesting cuz talking about the future the L time of Messiah so we have to understand that we said that Pharaoh approached the children of Israel raised their eyes and behold Egypt was journeying after them all that's true so in the medish I just want to bring up this idea that what Hashem did was he churned Egypt in the midst of the sea that's what the verse says Hashem churned Egypt in the midst of the Sea and the medra says at that time the Holy Spirit cried out and said the eyes of the wicked look with longing Haven I'm sorry H Haven is denied them okay so the eyes of the look eyes of the wicked look with longing but Haven is denied them that's in job 11:20 so it says like this and regarding the BS of phone you know the BS of phone God destroyed all the gods of the Egyptians but he left the B ofone the B ofone by the way was their god of of wealth of gold okay and God tricked them he let that one Idol stay around and that's why they brought all their gold with them on their chariots in other words we left Egypt we left with a lot of their gold but how did all the gold end up um on the shore that we gathered we gathered more gold on the on the side of the uh the Red Sea the Sea of reeds then we left with it was because these right Hashem tricked them they knew there was only one Idol left all the other Idols were destroyed by God but this one Idol the idol of gold they said oh the idol of gold isn't destroyed let's put all the gold we have left on our chariots and we'll wrap ourselves in the gold and when they were drowned in the sea all that gold came up miraculously onto our side God actually did us a favor we didn't have to carry it for a whole week but the bottom line is that there was a trick so here he says regarding the bphone upon which they had placed their trust it says in the continuation of the verse above in the same verse Job 11:20 that to which they placed their hope became a source of Despair and now this is the important part so too will it happen in the time of the Messianic future this is what's going to happen when all the nations will be gathered they will bring their Idols along so that they might save them as it says in mik 4:5 for all the nations will go forth each man in the name of his God right they say this I don't even want to sayar whatever they say but we go forth with the name of Hashem Our God forever and ever and when they come what will the Holy One blessing be he do with them do with their Idols he will melt them and all the nations will see the spectacle and become ashamed right now they have the opportunity to become ashamed for what they're doing to the Jewish people and then they will Cast Away their idols and go and hide themselves in caves and in rocks there's no doubt I I have a feeling that a lot of uh these people in in Gaza and maybe right now in Lebanon and maybe in Iran they're hiding right now they know they don't stand a chance against the god of Israel for does Isaiah say this is in Isaiah 2:12 for hasem master of Legions has a day for retribution against all the proud and arrogant ones again for hasem master of Legions has a day for Retribution and it's coming baby against all the proud and arrogant ones these proud and arrogant ones are referring to their gods and later in that passage and the false gods Gods will perish completely first it happens above and then it happens in this in this world so we we see right happening we have these people worship these people we just mentioned right I don't know want to mention their name too much anyway the M the medis speaks of the future time when the Nations will be brought before God to be judged and um we we the last statement says the verse S thus supports the idea that Idols will be destroyed the Messianic future the idols the Sim that the the these ministering Angels over those Nations who have not fulfilled the will of God which is to support the Jewish people not destroy us okay so they should know they have been warned they have been warned so I want to mention I have four main points here Point number one that Wars are fought in heaven first you can look at this in Judges chapter 5 verse2 by cisar it says from the heavens they fought the stars from their courses fought against CIS so what really happens is that the war is in heaven first and then we show up just to play out what already took place in heaven the winners and the losers have already been been determined number two that each nation has an administering Angel we'll call the SAR right Israel is an exception it has no intermediary as we mentioned the name yarel um the straight with God now the SAR are actually angels that protect or they Supply or they maintain their Nation when they when they're not fulfilling their role in the universe Hashem will H get rid of them okay so the thing is that we get supplied and protected strictly by God there is no um intermediary whereas the Nations they don't have direct Providence they're actually being um provided through indirect Providence through their SAR the third Point as a war takes place the war originally takes place in heaven and we can see here how it plays out afterwards in the world as we have seen in such a short period of time just in the last few days the major players of whether it's Iran the theah the what's the word for those guys Gaza we just call them Arabs we're not even call them Palestinians and then you have the houis I mean we went and decimated a big part of the houis we we I shouldn't say Somebody went into Iran and killed off Kia but anyway the idea is that this is proof that their protection has been removed from above the next thing I want to mention this is where we'll sign off that it is true the war is taking place in heaven and the victors are known okay now our victories are due to what to our adherence to Torah and Mitzvah okay if we observe and guard God's Torah and keep his Mitzvah so I want to mention it's true that it's happening upstairs but it only happens upstairs because of an Awakening from below the Awakening below happens through our Deeds through our thoughts through our kavanas okay so an Awakening From Below is what causes ultimately the Victory and The Awakening on above so I want to share with you a website and I will put the link down below and that is called share justone thing.com share it's just one word shareone thing.com this is a website where you make a public commitment to take on not a stringency but a cabala of some sort a strengthening yourself to keep Mitzvah or one Mitzvah in a more uh let's say with more kavana with more zealousness okay so I highly suggest we want to win this War I I implore every Jew out there and I'm going to share the link below it's called share just one thing you'll read you'll read about it you'll creu you'll peruse through the the website and how you could you know at least take the idea even if you don't participate on that website on your own decide you're going
