welcome everybody thank you KH thank you
Sam thank you for everybody that's
joining
us
um again as usual we begin with a prayer
that should protect that we should see a
speed we should see an end to this
terrible war and that we should stop
seeing Bloodshed in this
country should protect our soldiers
should bring back the
hostages and uh hopefully bring
everything back to the way things are
supposed to be with the help of
Hashem okay so last week we had a little
bit of a hectic Zoom session right in
middle of the hotel with the entire
behind me singing and
dancing okay so today we have a little
bit of a more quiet setting but we're
still thinking about all those people
that are
displaced should bring them back to
their homes very soon I just came from
the shook now and I want to say
something from Rabbi gold
I'm sure many of you have heard of RAB
gold he was the founder of my Yesa in
Toronto near is he was a r here in harof
where I live and he said in the name of
one of his teachers that if you want to
learn about God look at the T but if you
want to see God go to the sh okay so
the the the Bounty that has
blessed the Jewish people with one time
the stud
of said that when we go to what are we
supposed to be looking
at says you don't have to look at
anything just look at the stones just
look at the mountains you don't have to
try to perceive anything deeper than
that if you do that's wonderful but just
looking
at already sanctifies the person is so
holy even though sometimes you look at
it you don't see what is the Holiness of
but it's something hidden it's it's
something deep and just the fact that
you can look at er Isel just the fact
that you can breathe the air of ER is
that's already something very powerful
according to the P
UA in order for a person to draw from
the Holiness and sanc VAR Israel a
person also should be cognizing that am
Bears inate sanctity it's important to
bear that in mind first of all we have a
disagreement in the Ron in the early
medieval sages it's actually a m ready
in the gar
if a person does a Mitzvah without
having intended to fulfill the will of
Hashem has he fulfilled a Mitzvah or not
so we rule as follows that if we're
talking about a the to obligation like
BL chauffer in order to discharge the
obligation a person has to have the
intention that he's doing the will of
Hashem when he blows the Sher if
somebody let's say blew the schaur just
for the sake of music so then he has not
discharged his obligation but when it
comes to
MIT of Rabin origin so we rule leniently
that a person discharges his obligation
even if he did not have explicit intend
to fulfill the will of Hashem living in
AR according to the ran is a
mitvah a command so therefore we're all
living in so we should be cognizant of
the fact that we by living in is are
fulfilling a Mitzvah fulfilling one of
the most important
because thear tells us that you're
allowed to even tell a nonu to write up
a deed in order to purchase a piece of
is so the asked that we know
that telling AI to do something that is
forbidden on chabas is a is there AIC
prohibition so what permits us to tell a
nanu to write a on the Shabbat so
according to the ran and that's the
ruling that we Accord with that
normally we only permit
a let me try to explain if there is
something that contains two independent
rinic elements things that make the Act
only something prohibited on a rabic
level so for example turning off a light
on Shabbat is a Rabin prohibition
because in order for one to uh violate a
the right to Prohibition it has to be
constructive it has to be something
constructive but removing something
taking away a certain reality that's not
the way the M was performed that's not
the way the the work was performed in
the Mish so therefore closing a light on
shabas is something that's rically
prohibited it's
called because I'm not putting something
in I'm not doing something constructive
I'm taking away a certain reality I'm
taking away the light in the room so
that's why it's only rabic if I tell a n
to do it that's another rabic element so
there are two rabic elements involved so
if there's a a Mitzvah need to have the
light closed for whatever reason there's
a certain Mitzvah that necessitates that
I close the light I'm allowed to tell a
NRE to close the light it's called
a but says the ran that when it comes to
the Mitzvah of sett
settling because settling is such an
important Mitzvah it's not like other
Mitzvah other Mitzvah you need to have
two elements that downgrade it and make
it only ribic but when it comes to the
purchase of ER because the
mitz is such a great Mitzvah so
therefore you only need one rabic
element that's the way the ran explains
it so therefore even though normally
telling a nanu to write up a deed
instructing a n to do writing on Shabbat
would have been prohibited even for
other mitv but we make an exception for
the purchas purchase of er
settling is an outstanding mitzvah in
fact the tells us towards the end and
this is also the ruling of the that if a
spouse has a
disagreement and one spouse would like
to live in atis and one spouse would
like to live outside of
ER so if they went to the rabbi okay
let's give an example the husband would
like to live in the five towns he'd like
to live in Cedarhurst and the wife would
like to move to they go to the rabbi the
Rabbi says if you could afford to live
in is the husband has to listen to his
wife the husband has to pick up and the
family has to move to is however there
is
a was one of the important that's
included in
the he says that's only if they have a
par if they have a source of livelihood
because if a family doesn't have a
source of livelihood the children are
liable to leave the fold of Judaism the
explains that it's a common phenomena
that if a family doesn't have a way of
supporting themselves if the family
grows up living in poverty there's a
danger that the children might say it's
not worth being religious if live if
being religious means that I have to
live in poverty so I might as well just
leave the fold of religion so that's why
it's important that even if they move to
Israel there should be a source of
livelihood now the does say
that you have to be careful about the
children of poor people because they
turn out to be great Scholars so it
seems to be a risk right being poor
could make the children
great Scholars or according to mil Sak
could also propel them off the path of
Judaism but assuming that the family has
a source of livelihood in ER is and the
couple has a disagreement right let's
say the husband wants to live in outside
of let's say the wife wants to move to
ver tells us that the SP that the spouse
that wants to go
to their will is takes priority okay the
will of the spouse that wishes to move
to AR takes priority so moving into AR
is a really a fantastic Mitzvah rash
quotes the the ran quotes the that says
that all the Mitzvah that we perform in
is only so that we should not forget how
to perform the Mitzvah which means to
say that the intent of the Mitzvah the
purpose of the Mitzvah the way the
Mitzvah bring out the will of Hashem is
by performing them
in living in of course we have an
absolute obligation to fulfill the mitv
but in a certain sense the only reason
why we're fulfilling the mitvah outside
of is so that when we come back to we
should not forget how to perform the
Mitzvah so that only demonstrates how
important living in is is if a person
goes to the right everybody should maybe
do this once in their lifetime at least
go to the beginning of thees and begin
with that begins with creation of the
world that you know you have the evil
generation of the flood and then after
that we see the birth of Abraham ainu
and then abrah ainu becomes great he
becomes exceptional God promises the
descendants of ab ainu that they will
receive the holy land that promise is
carried on to Y it's carried on to yob
something which is of interesting note
that if you look at the end of
par the Covenant right a covenant means
that there's a agreement on two sides
each side has a certain uh uh commitment
to fulfill so if you look at the end
ofu had to circumcise himself that was
AB A's commitment what was the
commitment of Hashem what would come in
exchange for
circumcising right giving a the land of
erra giving the land of
in
the says that if you fulfill the Mitzvah
[Music]
of will give to
you and to your descendants that come
after
you I'm going to give you and your
Descendants the land that you're
dwelling in right now and also the land
of for an
everlasting uh plot an everlasting
abortion okay
and I'm going to be for them as a God
right which is another reference to the
idea that the only place that who is
really our King the only place that we
could really connect to hasem is in erit
Isel okay so that's really the idea of
circumcision and it's really something
fascinating that even amongst the
secular population in ER Isel in Israel
today I think I could be corrected but I
I think it's close to 90% or maybe even
more they all fulfill the Mitzvah of
Brit love circumcision even though
logically you would expect Brisa to be a
very unpopular Mitzvah because it
involves taking an eight-year-old baby
an innocent baby and cutting off a piece
of its flesh it causes the baby to feel
pain it causes the baby to cry you would
expect somebody who is secular to not
find this Mitzvah very appealing but yet
I counterintuitively surprisingly we
find that I think close to 90% or maybe
even more of the secular population the
Jewish secular population in Isel they
fulfill the Mitzvah of circumcision the
gumar says that circumcision was a
Mitzvah that was fulfilled with joy it
was a Mitzvah that was fulfilled with
happiness and somehow the Jewish Nation
feels very attached to this
Mitzvah okay so because there really is
a strong connection between BR and so
there's a few amazing things about ER as
we said said the first amazing thing
about is is that you can even tell a
nonu to write a document on the Shabbat
in order to purchase a plot it's the
only Mitzvah one of the only Mitzvah
that you could tell a non-jew to do a
that you can tell a non you to do
something that would be the desecration
of the shabas had you done it because is
an exceptional
Mitzvah we see that the entire purpose
of fulfilling all the mitv is so that
they should be able to be fulfilled in
ER
is we see that if anybody lives outside
of ER is the med says it's like when is
living without a God the ramban explains
that if you live in arts there's
different Pathways there's different um
goet I can't explain it very deeply but
there's a certain deeper concept that
there are certain goet that bring thef
that bring God's energy outside of but
in there's a direct connection C with
Hashem so if you really want to have a
direct connection with Hashem it's
important to live in the said that the
most defining feature about living in is
is the fact that you're able to tap into
to seeing the hand of hasem he
says the the The Hidden Hand of Hashem
who from behind the scenes orchestrates
things leads people on a certain path we
can see that Hashem is leading us on a
certain path in life is there for us he
helps us so the explains that
specifically do we bear that capacity to
be able to see The Hidden Hand of hem
it's much more difficult for people to
see the hidden of Hidden Hand of hem
according to the outs of as opposed to
in in fact of WR a beautiful work deep
cabalistic stuff but he said all that he
wrote on was only after he visited the
inspir ation that he drew he said that
all the Torah the higher Torah that he
was able to espouse only came from his
being in a Israel okay so the gr the G
of VNA at the end of his life gave up
everything he left his family and he
came to his love for was so all
consuming that he was able that he was
propelled if you'd like to make great
personal sacrifices so that he could
live in AR Israel and this was what many
great tus SES did the ramban at the end
of his life he says it seems illogical
what I'm doing at the age of 70 right to
make the voyage to come to such a bar
Land There was very little settlement in
Isel but the ramban felt that it was
worth it in order to come to is because
the ramban really appreciated and he
understood the deeper meaning of what
kazal said that living outside of ER is
like living without a God only in could
one really tap into the deeper and more
intimate connection that one could get
with Hashem
okay so therefore since living in is
according to the ran and even according
to the r who doesn't list in theah the
ra has a where he lists all 613 mitv the
r doesn't
mention so some wanted to say that
according to the r there's no there's no
the right obligation to live in ER Isel
but most commentaries maintain that's
the opinion of the if I'm not mistaken
that the ran didn't live list living in
because it's what we call a mitvah there
are certain MIT that are so Central that
they underly the entire purpose of all
the mitzvot so they're not counted as
one of the 613 mitv because it's really
the way the Fulfillment it's the way to
fulfill every single one of the 6133
mitas in its complete form so therefore
living in Isel is not one of the 6 613
Mitzvah it actually manifests the proper
way to perform every single one of the
613 Mitzvah so on the contrary some
understand that the rambam's reason for
not listing living in is is one of the
63 Mitzvah is not because it's less of a
Mitzvah on the contrary it's because
it's more of a Mitzvah but in any case
Theon all of the poim including the Kish
and many others ruled like the ramban
that certainly there is
a to live in the r as well
in does rule that if a couple has a
disagreement as we mentioned previously
that one spouse would like to move to
the other spouse would like to
stay that the spouse that would like to
live in has to give way to their desire
and has to move to is okay so that's and
as we said according to the mil s that's
un condition that the couple will have a
source of livelihood in is so because
living in
is it's certainly preferable that we
should have the intention to be
fulfilling the
Mitzvah whenever we do
aah the priority is to have the intent
that what you're doing is in order to
fulfill the will of Hashem so therefore
a person from time to time should remind
himself that I'd like to live in because
this is what God wants this is what
Hashem wants and that will certainly
enhance the performance of the Mitzvah
according to the P Yeshua if a person
lives in ER but denies the sanctity ER
according to Thea one does not fulfill
the Mitzvah of living in is so some
people use this P to answer a
very of often question that's often
asked the the says you should not
misbehave in do not go in the ways of
the Canaanites do not go in the ways of
the MIT in the end of par and the end
of so the says
there if a person misbehaves then the
land is liable to spit people out so
there was the the was a cabalist he was
the grandfather of the and he said that
if you see any person living in a is and
the land has not has not spat him out in
other words he has successfully settled
in says Grand he must be a because if
the Torah testifies that if somebody
misbehaves then the land will split him
out and he has not been spat out he
continues to live here he must be at
that was the ruling of
the others disagree and others say well
we see that there are some people that
are terrible Ram some people that are
very Wicked and they successfully settle
in the land of is so there must be some
sort of explanation as to why the land
has not sped them out so according to
some the explanation is like the PESA
that if somebody completely denies the
Holiness denies the sanctity of er Isel
so it's not like he's living in ER is
some went so far to say that was the
opinion of the SB he said something very
controversial something very provocative
he said that if somebody is a rash then
the kadha then the sanctity of isra
leaves him wherever he walks in Israel
now that's a very diffult difficult
explanation and I'll tell you why
because the Torah said that that that
the Torah spat out the Egypt egyp spat
out the Canaanites the Canaanites were
spat out of AR Israel the land vomited
them out because they misbehaved I can
guarantee you that the Canaanites denied
the sanctity of AR isra the Canaanites
did not intend to live in a Isel because
of the sanctity and yet the T and yet
the Torah testifies that the land
vomited out the C ites so you see that
the is presumably absolutely correct
that if somebody lives in Isel that is
an attestment to his righteousness
because if the land has not spat him out
then certainly he's righteous so some
might ask how could that be so the truth
is nobody knows what Mitzvah a person
had done nobody really has the eyes and
the intelligence to determine who is
righteous and who is not righteous for
example there was a one of the Kings one
of the Israelite Kings was was Amon
um and he was apparently very Wicked he
took a saer Torah and he raised the name
of Hashem and he replaced it with a name
of an idol but on the other hand he had
a very great mid the med says thear and
sanedrin says because he built cities in
ER Israel so we don't really know we
don't really have the eyes and the
intelligence to determine who is
righteous and who is not righteous and
certainly if somebody settled in ER
certainly if somebody is successfully
building ER that goes without saying all
the more so if somebody's sacrificing
and making great sacrifices in the
defense of er he risks his life to
defend ER that is no question that is
certainly an attestment to the person's
greatness okay
but despite the opinion of the P Yeshua
that says that if somebody does not
acknowledge the Holiness and the
sanctity of Isel he doesn't get the
Mitzvah he doesn't get the credit for
having lived in Israel but it still
could be a testament to his
righteousness the fact that the land
isn't spitting him out but right we want
to fulfill every mitzah in the most opal
in the most Optimum way optimal way we
certainly will strive to fulfill the
mits of by also acknowledging the
Holiness of acknowledging the sanctity
of
says the is superior over all the other
Torah that's learned
in fasted 40 days so that he should
forget all the Torah that he learned in
B and that when he comes to is he should
start fresh that all the T that he's
learning should only be from the to of
ER so not only is er a place where a
person could really connect to hasem is
also the optimal place to learn Torah
and as I said quite a few times already
that certainly wherever we go we should
have the intention that we intend to
draw from the sanctity of is
and that even if a person doesn't feel
love of at any given point it doesn't
matter as long as you acknowledge as
long as you believe in unique sanctity
you you are fulfilling a Mitzvah that is
equal to all the others okay that in
other words collectively if you put all
the mitzvas on one side of the scale and
you put the Mitzvah of on the other side
of the scale the Mitzvah of living in of
obviously with the desire to get close
to Hashem is equal parallel as all the
other mitv okay also another point about
living in a is which is very important
is not to fall on the Trap of the morum
the morum the spies they came
back from the report we all know the
story they said bad things about ER Isel
and this uh drew a lot of Anger from
Hashem the punishment for this sin is
greater than the punishment of any other
sin because God already forgave us for
the sin of the agle of the golden calf
which was idol worship and Hashem still
has not forgiven for the sin of the
morum of having
spoken negatively by so therefore it's
very important that if you do go to
don't come back to ER and say
oh this kind of beauty doesn't exist in
ER oh is isn't pretty don't say anything
like that because that's a repeat of the
sin of the morum right so aside from the
Mitzvah living in ER it's absolutely
Paramount that we only talk positively
about ER
Sal the of or it could have been zel he
used to tell the visitors of do me a
favor when you go back to don't say
anything negative
about that's what the says see the
goodness of of
of okay another important element of
living in is to bring Unity okay there
are many denominations in
every single one has their strong points
many of them have things to work on to
improve to enhance right we're not
saying any everybody's perfect we're not
saying that we're living in in a in
Utopia we're getting there but not yet
we're not saying everything is perfect
but it's very very important to bring
unity in Isel because the Mah of prag
says that the real definition of
aahil right of a kahal is
in because the in says
that there's no we don't make public
fasts in B in fact even the fasts that
we
and these in fact
are okay it's a custom that's fulfilled
but the real definition of a where the
would get up and enact a fast 24-hour
fast with additional prohibition
something that resemble Tish of or yum
that's something that's not in acted in
B so Rashi explains the simple
understanding that it's because B has
enough rain but the morale of Prague
says something deeper he says there's no
Tiber in B the only place that true
Jewish Unity could be achieved is
in and what's really curious about this
whole thing is that unfortunately we see
a lot of of infighting in okay we're
going to fix it but theara the SAT he
really wants to get at us and he tries
to get us to fight with each other so I
want to put a positive spin it says
where do people fight the most siblings
at home okay when you're living at home
and you have lots of siblings in the
living room the siblings like to fight
with each other because when you're home
and you're living in the same place and
he's your brother and she's your sister
so you feel secure you feel safe to
fight and to express your grievances
against one another as opposed when
you're going to go for dinner you know
so people put on a certain facade people
put on a certain show and they pretend
to behave so that's the LI that's the
way of finding married in some of the
infighting is because we're brothers and
we're sisters and we're at home so we
fight with each other but that's a good
Li that's a good way
of of being of finding favor finding
something positive about the reality but
in
reality right the are wantes to get us
to F and the truth is that shal Shalom
peace comes from the root we all know
this comes from of shal complete okay so
there's no real Shalom when there's no
challenge to overcome when two entities
have to come together the most famous
example you're all thinking about as a
husband and a wife right often times the
greatest potential of fights exist
between a husband and wife because
you're trying to take two different
realities and you're trying to bring
them together you're trying to make them
Shalom sh shal you're trying to make
them peace Shalom is when you have two
different uh elements that come together
to become one ho to become one complete
hold and that's why in ER is all the
different segments of the population
have to come together there's the most
potential for infighting so how do we
counter that the first way to counter
the infighting is to speak positively
about all the different Den
denominations you can find bad things to
say about everybody you can say this
denomination they don't uh they they
they don't they they don't
work enough this domination works too
you can find all sorts of negative
things to say about every single
denomination it could even be true but
there's no mitvah to talk about it and
harp on it and obsess about it if you
want to help and it's coming from a
place of love so you have aim you have
Community activists that work together
to improve the plight if it to help
bring jobs to people uh to help people
integrate there's all sorts of things
that you could to do to improve the
different needs in AR but just to harp
on the bad things and just to say bad
things about certain denominations of is
that doesn't do any good right so it's
very very important number one to bring
unity in because as the Mah of PR says
that the real definition of of coming
together really as one can only really
happen in ER
Isel okay so we covered a lot of the
basis of living in ER is let's just give
a quick review number one right the
first point that we made that ER is a
very unique Mitzvah is the only mitzvah
for which you could tell a you can tell
a n to do what is would otherwise be the
desecration of the shabas
because has a greater weight than other
MIT the second idea is that the teach us
that everything we do in is practice if
you would like so that when we come back
to we should not forget how to perform
the Mitzvah number three living in
living outside of
is like living without a god living in
is the place where one could truly
connect to
Hashem okay number four as the native
explained that the place the location on
planet Earth where you can really feel
the where you can feel the hand of hm
where you can see hm orchestrating
things that specifically in ER
Isel right number five we mentioned not
to speak negatively about ER Israel
don't say how bad is let's talk only
about the good things of
is Jerusalem especially say positive
things number six right let's make an
effort to bring the different segments
of the population together speak only
positively because bringing the country
together healing the Rifts has to start
on a micro level it has to start in an
individual level where we only see the
good things where we only speak
positively about different segments of
the population and number seven that's
really what we mentioned first is that
when you live in AR is have the
intention have the constant Cog
cognizance that you're drawing from the
spirituality of of er that you
acknowledge the unique aspects of ER is
right that you don't just live here
without thinking about why you're living
here another point that we mention is
that received because of the Mitzvah of
Brit that's what we saw at the end of
par
that there is a deep connection between
Brit
and Brit is not just the Mitzvah
Encompass is more than just the Mitzvah
to remove the foreskin to remove some of
the flesh the whole idea of Brit alsoo
personify is the idea of Holiness okay
because the violations that cause am to
be vomited out of very relate to MIT
relate to a sins that compromise on the
H the personal Holiness the kadus right
so therefore a person should do what he
can to increase kadus in the home right
make
sure that you have a good filter on your
internet make sure that you respect the
sanctity of marriage etc etc another
that's an idea we see there's a strong
connection of Brit and also personal
sanctity and also number nine we
mentioned that the Torah of is
exceptional okay there's no Torah like
the T
RAB fasted for 40 days so that he should
forget all the Torah that he learned in
B okay so there's nothing like the Torah
of Isel we talk about the sages like the
ramban and the gro that at the very end
of their life were ready to sacrifice
everything just to come here now even
RAB explained that His Highest Torah his
most profound Torah came from the fact
that he visited Isel we also mention
that you don't have to even appreciate
or understand the Deep cabalistic ideas
that underly the sanctity of erisol just
by looking at the hills just by looking
at the fields and just by remembering
that this is the land of Hashem this is
the home of Hashem that's also something
that will bring you great sanctity and
obviously something that we should
mention is prayer okay now it sometimes
could get discouraging at least for me
that we pray and we pray and we pray
hasem rebuild the Temple Hashem bring
the Jewish people back in fact if you
look at the
almost a majority of the blessings in
the relate
to we talk
about when we talk about blessing we
talk about is okay when we talk about
the in gathering of the Exiles it
obviously relates to is reinstate the
judges that's going to happen in is
theen is going to be reinstated in Isel
okay um
okay I don't see any explicit reference
to but obviously the righteous are going
to reunite in we talk about bringing us
back to Jerusalem at you see a lot of
blessings relate to and we've been
praying this for thousands of years and
many people may have given up and
thought that this would never happen but
right we have a strong reason to feel
encouraged because we are seeing with
our own eyes how those pray ERS are
actually coming to fruition the people
are coming back to ER Israel the land is
being settled there are many uh bumps in
the way there are many
painful incidents along the way of
settling
AOL um this nation was even the early
settlers that came from Russia and from
Europe had to drain the swamps and lost
their children to all sorts of diseases
and malaria and you know they had to
sacrifice uh enormous sacrifices the
many wars that have been fought in AR
Israel in 48 we lost many lives and
again in the War of Attrition and in '
67 and 73 we all know the history and
we've lived to see the suffering that
was involved just in this in our in our
in our in the recent times that we saw
what happened in so there's a lot of
sacrifices that are made to settle ER
Israel but the but the but the the
encouraging point is that we're actually
seeing all of the visions of the
prophets come to fruition it's coming to
life we see the children
playing the elderly walking in the
streets and the children playing every
time you look at children playing in the
streets right don't get annoyed right
don't get the shabas afternoon if you
get woken up by kids playing I know
could be quite frustrating you do e your
shabas afternoon nap but if you want to
make yourself happy think about the fact
that for 2,000 years people were only
thinking about that Vision that prophecy
of of of Isaiah of that the children
would one to be playing in the streets
of so that will lighten up your mood
that at least that uh Vision has come to
fruition it's we're living it we're
seeing it and as we mentioned many times
in the framework of this sheer that all
the the loss of life is only
temporary there will come a day as we
say then our fa our mouths will be
filled with laughter right say that that
describes children reuniting with their
deceased parents formerly deceased
parents by people will reunite with
their children the soldiers that lost
their lives defending AR so they're
going to come back they're going to
reunite with their fathers and with our
mothers so all the suffering that we're
experiencing is temporary it's passing
it's painful it's it's challenging it's
overwhelming at times no question about
it but you can still remember that it's
all temporary but the Salvation that
we're seeing unfold is
permanent promised that we won't go into
Exile again right there there are four
Exiles there's a fifth minor Exile but
there's only four Exiles we're not going
to go we're not going to be exiled from
this land again this is the Final
Redemption whatever we're seeing now is
final right all the resettling of the
land and in fact we are going to see
Miracles that will make the Miracles of
C of of the Miracles of leaving Egypt
seem like Small Miracles okay the
Miracles of Egypt will pale in
comparison to what we're going to see
okay so we have a lot to look forward to
we have a lot to anticipate we're going
to see great Miracles okay and those of
you who live
in okay come come to it's about time
okay my grand my great-grandfather was
hiding from the Nazis in a bunker and he
promised that if he ever got it alive he
would only go to one place ER is
unfortunately he died from starvation he
didn't make it here right but now is the
chance right we don't have to come to a
Barren land like the like the ramban we
don't have to come and drain the swamps
and risk the lives of our children God
forbid okay we have the entire is on a
silver platter so for those of you that
are living in please come those of you
who have relatives living in politely
give them a budge right nudge them a
little bit not too rudely right don't
push them too much because it could
backfire but once in a while mention to
them say listen right ER is in a silver
platter come over I tell my relatives I
said look if you have a business and you
don't know how you're going to support
