The Soul of Israel: A Request Which is Never Refused

[Music] Shalom everyone this is Katz and you're listening to the soul of Israel on the land of israel that common land of israel network and it's been a while but good friends come back together it feels like yesterday so I when I say good friends I mean each and every one of you and I mean on a physical level my sweet dear dear brother on so many levels Rabbi Ari Abramowitz was sitting right next to me this morning book it of Booker tevershall how are you my friend recording with you now I'm feeling fantastic the sheer just for some reason what we've been learning has been exactly what I've always enjoyed the cavora but this has been very very something really directly applicable to what I'm going through right now well okay listen whenever you learn Torah it just speaks exactly to where you're at where you know whatever your neshama needs at any given moment and hopefully that's what we're doing right now as well because right now we need to access places that we never we never either we never knew existed or we simply never accessed before we've been doing a beautiful Emunah series on Shabbos afternoons in our shul 5 p.m. on Shabbos afternoon Shabbos coming out later now so there's time to learn in the afternoon javis coming on out around 8:30 so about 5:00 we get together here in the stroll and brush I'm a solid 40 50 people would learn about emunah every Shabbos afternoon and I want to share some that we learned three weeks ago four weeks ago but it keeps them coming up over and over again and that is that there's one thing that man woman is allowed to ask from God at any given moment where the answer will always be yes always it's been proven that whenever anyone has asked for this they were never ever not answered positively what do you think that maybe with the preface I would say for stronger omona ah here we go you see to ask God for things that are good that you could do good use if like if you say that God listen you know if you give me a million dollars nine hundred thousand of that was gonna go they're gonna go to orphans I mean how could God say no to that well maybe that's not good fruit that's not your bag that's not good for you to have why whatever the reasons are maybe that hundred thousand that you're left with will destroy your like what what do we know right meaning when we don't get things that's also the form of no but when it comes to asking God to have more omona Hashem Canet I shall never says no because it's it's a self-contradiction friends how many times did we simply sit down and ask Hashem to just believe in him more that's what we're asking for you God if because the evil side the dark side in our minds tell us you're supposed to already believe in God much more you can't ask for something he's supposed to have this by now you're gonna ask for this it defeats the whole purpose of showing him that you're a champion real champions humble champions are the ones that understand that I need to ask God for more emunah as simple as it is simple as it is now I want to invite you and all our listeners and myself no matter to go back in time into our lives and go back to a really difficult place that we were stuck in a place that didn't seem like it had any refuge nothing the darkness was prevailing and there was no light in sight kind of like the way people from New York are when they go into the tunnel and New Jersey is the light at the end of their tunnel or it's also causing me to think about the the parsha right we're on these trails like we want meat and hash and Moshe secession even if you took all the wild stock in era where is that it's impossible we'll get there too but there wasn't going I was going to this coming pressure but we'll get there as well but let me let me just say like this go back into your own life and go back to a trial and tribulation which really seemed as if there was no way out from nothing what eventually got you out of there was it you figured out a logical way Alpi nature according to nature to get yourself crack the crack away out of your gullet or perhaps did you have to use this magic trick that we began the the set of the segment with meaning and this is true I think about almost every single thing in the world sometimes we bang our head against the wall saying I didn't I have to do more each day look I gotta try harder I gotta figure out another practical way for me to get out of my own sunnis or did you ever stop and realize my he stood looked has to be I gotta ask for more and wanna and when I asked for more omona and I believed I could conquer anything in the world well in our passion we have a very very big hero for some reason he's underrated I don't know why his name is not really that much of a common name that we give Jewish boys when they're born babe I don't know why but this hero to me every year when I learn about him he becomes more and more of a hero for me and that is khaliv khaliv been giovanna caleb was one of the twelve spies that was sent out and he together with joshua were two out of the twelve that were not they did not fall into the horrible downfall of coming back with the report that the spies ended up coming back with in fact when the scouts come back and say what they said khalid answers them but he answered he shuts them up and the way he shuts them up is the way that we shut up those spies Marah gleam that are working in our chatterbox all day long now you can't do this it's too hard it's too difficult they're Giants there look I have proof it's too dangerous being a gevalt shining your light it's too dangerous it's too vulnerable you shouldn't do it stay palter protected that's what God wants don't don't strive for the highest color enters them back and he says that pursuit beautiful pursue Ilona Olivia rush nota key a whole new Halle carlav doesn't address the report the ich cottage the PSS never writes from the Warsaw Ghetto he says you ever noticed that Calif doesn't address the report the evil report of the scouts he doesn't say no it's not true it's not that bad there he acknowledges the difficulty he acknowledges the Giants that are living there and how difficult it will be to conquer the land but how does he acknowledge it not by using another logical tactic to go from another angle to conquer the land he says let's go to the place the only place that has enabled Jewish people to conquer anything in this world what's that place asking for more emunah alone Olli let's go up higher and higher in our Emunah the Irish lotta will inherit the belief that we could do anything keya whole new holla because we could do it all the credit says that has to be the belief of a Jew in any given situation that he's in specifically when he feels there's no way out that there's no way out of the darkness here in you have to go to the place of saying I'm a student of colours Ben you're funny yeah I'm done with trying to give the world logical explanations as to how I could overcome anything I'm giving myself those logical explanations I go to the neshamah finish em another year that knows I'm simply made of something else I made of something else you know Ari and I have we have rabbi jeremy that's with us as well we had that as a nation we won two wars colours beneath una style 1948 1967 the moment we began thinking differently and strategizing differently we've been having more trouble with the land colors been your Funes directive is the only directive we really need to internalize and listen to because ever since we try to use logical explanations to the world as to why we deserve to be in the land or to our cell we lost it we've been losing abortion we haven't lost to the extent that we don't have it anymore but it's God is still giving us on a daily daily love is giving us the opportunity do you want to be a khalaf or do you want to be the Miranda monogamy the Mogollon weren't lying yes this place is swamped with terrorists it's bad it's true you want to raise your children around terrorists a swoon stay there and stay in the desert it's not a good just stay no color of benefit says yeah that's I hear the rational mind that's true but can you imagine if in 1947 1948 that would have been the way that we would have approached the gift that was about right before us that was 48 that was 67 would you guys think that was also 73 I don't know it's like we're starting to lose exactly it's like uh not as much right you know it's just the Torah is so deep because it's like giving us the blueprint for our national existence in the State of Israel and at the same time it's like this inner personal map of our own lives how in our minds we have ten voices that are negative and there's two voices that are positive there's like a Joshua and Caleb inside us in the Torres guiding us listen there's these ten voices that are saying you can't do it it's too scary don't do it don't do it don't do it and there's two voices that are on the inside of the inside they're like yes we can do this I could have borrow who together with us it's like no challah it's like within plural of we we can do it on Easter el together we together with Hashem and it's like guiding us listen to the small voices on the inside of the inside don't listen to the tan loud voices and it's like our inner map as as our national map at the same time nothing's changed but much these words of the Torah it wasn't just for them it's 2019 it's right now and again if you go back to any darkness you were in what really got you through it that you cracked the code or that you simply went through it with an extra dose egde of Emunah I know I went through a pretty hard time when we moved to the farm and the hardest time about it was that it just felt like I didn't have the Emunah muscle to even flex it was holding on to the like the last leg just like a Shem just a yella Tova it'll be okay sometimes like you don't even have the co ah to even have it it's just like a muscle that gets just so weak after being exercised or even a gift that's just taken away but I guess here it's like to just davon please Hashem let me hold onto the Emunah that I can as best I can mama a whole new holla you holla holla once you alone not aware once you go up in your requests of God where maybe a high level of requesting of God is allow me to do good things that's a nice request but keep on going alone now I let go higher what's higher I want more in Munna that's the highest Bukka Shah and that that the Siddiki teaches has never been unanswered alone Allah I'm going up with what I consider to be high requests and then what VR - no Ulta and then you inherit the Emunah that you asked for here home Ohana nothing's changed you're absolutely orange person like Jimmy and Wilson right I I long for the day that my children experience being in the land on the level of 1948 1967 some people would say crazy what did we have then you want to go back to then you crazy there was no high tech booming then that's what you want to go back to right as if that's what what's keeping us alive over here what brought us back here is a bunch of excuse me for saying the skeletons that walked out of Auschwitz together with a few pioneers ever here in Eretz Israel and they had caliph Pena funa being there ever alone Olivares no takea home Mahalo that's where we that's how it started and that's how it's going to end as well meaning the end of the first love the end of this galoot assuring in the redemption assuring in the great day will be when that's when color beneath Luna becomes the rabbit of every single Jew in the world and Anjou for that matter obviously but it's got to start with us so friends I know that we're all so careful with with god forbid falling in the scent into this the spies as people think that means don't ever say anything bad about Eretz Israel that's one level of thinking about of kinda like internalizing the whole story of the spies it really is that voice the ten voices that tell you you can't shine you can't shine you can't conquer this and to grab yourself and say with color being a phony alanna.holloway arash nota Kea whole new holla and I know that each of you right now are fighting such a war right now of saying am i capable of believing such words well I invite you all in your next prayer to go to the highest war prayer and ask God for more emunah as simple as it is Hashem eat Barack it's so hard for me to believe in you it's so hard for me to believe in myself it's so hard for me to believe that I'm living in biblical times it's so harshly believed that what I'm about to experience will be even more exalted whenever I experience as a nation since you created us so therefore I'm not asking you to show me how to do things I'm asking simply to believe in you so much more I'm asking you to get me through any area of darkness that still exists in my life not by becoming wiser and deeper and smarter hopefully I'll get there but to simply believe in you right now much more and you know Devin I Melissa something so beautiful King David and we're sitting right now you know in the backyard of where he must have spent many many many hours he said you know how a Jew comes to this place of much more believing speaking about it hey Monty Giada Benner I believe because I talk about it more I talk about it more we think that since our thoughts exist within us because there's somewhere inside a chamber that I actually feel connected to my thoughts I connect to my thoughts when I speak about them so much more so let's speak about it more let's talk omona let's say every day alone Olivares nota kia whole new holla if you'd like to be in touch with me to discuss this more I'd be so honored slow-mo Atlanta be so calm re at London is real calm Jeremy lender is real calm and I also want you to know the Katz project that is marvelous because rips Roma
