Shalom Alim this is
Pas I'm sitting here my and like you are
thinking of all the circumstances and
the situation and the torus which CL are
facing I think one of the main problems
that we have at the moment is many of us
are overloaded emotionally tremendous
overloaded there's tremendous stress and
we're in mesed in many different issues
which are facing Us in CL Israel I'd
like to explain maybe it's Homespun but
I'd like to I'm coming from and I think
many other people are as well on the one
hand there's tremendous stress and sorce
which people are going through with an
isue with the hostages and the three who
had just killed ran and those who are
still there inside AA which is a
tremendous
Sor the situation of the people in the
hospitals who are suffering so much and
this gives tremendous anxiety it's like
raw anxiety and Roar pain which people
are going through these with the the the
ailim and the people people in kalis
just last M shabas I went with my wife
to visit a Shiva here in mes 38y old man
and there were six children and he was
taken away and each one of these
soldiers who were killed were diamonds
polished diamonds in clis and we're
losing some of these fabulous people the
profiles of some of these soldiers is
outstanding
exceptional situation of the who sitting
there on the border and each n of us are
in such a situation of such concern
for that's the way we feel but I'd like
to take a little bit further this time
and take it into a certain issue which I
think is really the nub of the whole
question the whole scene of what the
nerve is going on here in the following
way this is not a situation of the
British Dunkirk fighting against the
Germans in World War II it's not the
same situation it's not the situation of
the American Marines in Vietnam it's not
not like this here it's not like the
Coalition forces do remember who came in
against Saddam Hussein it's not like
Ukraine against Russia this is not the
same here this is CL Israel sitting in
ER Israel and our destiny is completely
different completely different situation
in the following terms I'd like to
explain like this we had in clis two
exceptional generals and they were
Chiefs of Staff I mean
mosu if you look carefully at the
scenarios that each of these people when
MOS sent off to fight against and stood
on top of the
hill and he stood there and and cried
and all of CLA looked at mosha abeno as
they were going out to fight and they
saw him sitting on the mountain and
daving when he sent off the the troops
to go and fight against midan kazal
explained quite clearly that he chose a
thousand soldiers from each shet against
midan and then kept a thousand also
inside the camp and the Thousand in the
camp from each tribe dabed for those
th000 Warriors in other words there were
12,000 soldiers who went out to fight
against minion and there were 12,000
people in the camps behind meaning we
have a situation here of a situation of
with and you see that very clearly also
by D each of the military campaigns he
had 18 military campaigns and each one
was successful he always went and asked
the Sanhedrin or the remember the famous
scene of D when he went to a before him
he was told not to raise a sword and not
to shoot any Arrow until he saw the
willow trees rustle once he saw that I
think it was 6 ft away and then he went
out into battle he always asked for
counsel and so did M as well he asked
and certainly did we see also in this p
k 124 which we mentioned previously as
well in this situation facing the Hamas
facing ishma there is one situation
which I think is striking everybody and
that's why I think we are so emotionally
over involved and so involved in this
there isn't any sat D which is going on
there is a certain success which is
going on in Gaza and we're very thankful
to weon but of all the people who are
involved here the people know it the
soldiers know it and the families all
know it but maybe the government and the
media do not know this meaning we have
to turn and ask D to and I think that's
really the problem here the government
is not turning around and asking the
Great rabbonim and the great poim of our
time what do we do in a situation of P
of saving people and therefore I'd like
to suggest one of the problems or one of
the greatest difficulties that we have
is they're not asking bonim they're not
asking dto how do we go ahead with this
how do we solve the problem and
therefore I'd like to suggest if we take
the role models and the profiles of mos
and they ask what should I do in this
situation and that's what they think the
government should do I don't want to
make this Shear into a political
scenario I don't want to make a
political but I think that is the
situation here for so many diamonds who
are being lost and for so many aim and
for all the situation and the hostages
we must ask a we must ask in in what to
do and I think that is really the the
the the T which we're going through
they're not asking what do we do we're
not asking oros or the great Rabon who
we have throughout the world if we would
ask a sh how do we go about it maybe
they would have more I'm making that
suggestion it's Homespun it's my own
thoughts but this is I think what is
going through my mind and many people's
mind at all as well where is the where
is the help from where is
the where is the help from the Divine
help from Shai it seems to be lacking
here for sure there is great success and
they say they're conquering and
overcoming Hamas in AA but you need more
than that you need something which is
going to give the people and give clis a
more more trans of Yeshua and Yeshua
comes from that's what was saying
and that's the
way worked and that I think is what's
lacking here in this situation here and
therefore people are in some ways almost
burnt out not burnt out I hope from
davening but they think what where are
we leaving to where are we going to with
so many diamonds and so many people who
were killed in is we ask ourselves where
is the where's the help from and that's
the scene which I think we must turn if
only the governor would turn around
whenever they sat in the walk cabinet
where they sit in Tel and open up a
safer to H him first of all DAV that
whatever they decide on whe they want to
do they should have hashem's help behind
them and that's the counsel that we need
and that is what we learn
from that's one side of the
scale the other side of the scale say as
you are as I am jumping for joy at
certain situations which are happening
there's tremendous Sim because you see
in Kal enormous Unity enormous Harmony
which is going on people are helping
each other in such an incredible way
people people taking down Forin and and
and
and and the which is going on in all the
communities and the the which is going
there's tremendous unity and Harmony in
and that's tremendous very heartwarming
and tremendous joy that people have if
that's what we're being brought to then
what a beautiful situation we have we've
just gone
through and we see tremendous Miracles
and the stories of people who are saved
in unbelievable stories of hash of
Divine Providence which we s go and that
brings tremendous Joy I was just looking
recently at a clip my wife showed me of
a group of soldiers who were in an
ambush by the Arabs and they were sanded
by Arabs and they saw no way out and
their ammunition ran out and they were
desperate and one turned around to
another and said if we get out of this
situation I will keep shabas and
immediately the bullets stopped and they
flew over them and they all escaped
these sort of stories which are fabulous
stories of Divine
Providence on the one hand we have
tremendous and there's great involvement
and great upset of what's
going but on the other side we see
tremendous and tremendous harm people
keeping shabas people careful about
daving and
people and there you have almost like
the roller coaster on the one hand you
have the on the other hand you have
tremendous Sim which is going on and you
see what's happening people are working
together and great Harmony and Care
understanding from one to another I
think that's almost like the ups and the
downs
where do you see that coming out so
clearly look at the great words of the
great masc himself he saw those
situations which go on we said it every
day during per lamed into H brought it
out so clearly if you look carefully
M we mentioned in the previous
year from education what is the
education you learn in this per you
learn as follows takes you up and
down one minute I'm in your anger with
me
in the evening I'm crying in the morning
I'm happy meaning you're tossed around
from one mood to
another you turned around my
morning and all of a sudden I'm in
meaning life goes up and down the
challenges are enormous on the one hand
the sour for the hostages and the people
who are sitting shiv and the aim and the
was standing and one is tremendous be
worried about them on the other hand the
tremendous simp of what's going on and
that's the situation which you have I
think that's where the overloading
emotionally comes out you see the
concern and also you see the tremendous
Sim and the happiness and the way people
were saved as well and those that's the
balance it's a roller coaster going
backwards like a hel to skeleton you go
backwards and forwards from one scene to
another but rabai let me make a
suggestion L where is the stability
where can we find a certain regularity
and a certain Our Lives can take on a
certain shape and a form that we can
carry on in this way these are the
scenes which we go going through the the
on the one hand and the Sim on the other
hand where is the stability that we can
find gives us the prognosis quite
clearly at the end of that payor please
listen to these words we mentioned it in
the last year but I think this is the
key and this is really the basis of
where we find a certain stability and
Tranquility in our lives at the
moment the end of
this in order that after all the
challenges that you go
through let the covid which isn't
let it
sing and it should never be dumb it
should never be
silent we I will always I will be
forever thankful I will always thank
you I think that is really where
consistency and our stability will come
through when you're lying in your bed at
night and you're thinking about the
situation
of I will always thank you meaning to
have that connection and that link
with always thank you for all that I
have if a person can be careful with his
davening with his Thrillers and this B
year especially we're going to bring out
which a person says there you will find
a certain stability in all that you're
going through my should never be silent
it should never be
numbed I will forever be thankful to you
if one can reach that point then I think
you find a certain calmness and a
tranquility and a certain coolness and a
regularity to your lives if one is
careful about one's bras let me take a
little bit
further a few weeks ago we gave a sheare
about the importance of bras and we
mentioned from the episode which
happened on the in Han which I saw for
myself ran had come into Hof after an a
for terrorist attack I think it was a
number two bus and ran said as follows
that in times of great danger a person
should be very careful of three mitzvas
kakes the holy
of the sanctity the saying
answering answering in and also 100as
and saying 100 Bas clearly where was he
coming from and ran explained as follows
at the end of the life of D there was an
awful plague and over a 100 people died
every single day and dobid was in
tremendous distress he daved and he was
told byes that clis were lacking in
saying 100 Bas they weren't careful
immediately he made a tonor the people
to say 100 Bas and therefore what was
saying in times of great difficulty and
for protection and Safety and Security
one should be careful of one why each
one of these three
mitzvas brings the almighty down into
the scenario where you are he brings it
down into your scene where you are and
therefore you're protected in particular
we mentioned in that CH the is when a
person is careful about each word
and we explain what each word in the
means what I'd like to do in this year
is take you even further in that concept
on the idea
of I will always thank you I always be
appreciative of you I'd like to give a
certain depth of understanding behind
Bas we did it in the that Shia and we
explained what each word meant in the b
in this particular sh what I like to do
is take you further in that meaning to
look at each of the types of bras that
we have in that over
food those of mitz and those of thanks
and praise I would like to give a
certain
mindset which I hope will help you in
each of these so that you will have in
mind always I always be thankful to the
to the almighty but before we do that
what I'd like to do is mention two
points which had mentioned which he
mentioned in his
sa which I think gives more depth and
understanding to the Great Value there
is behind saying abas and that is where
I got really the thought of this
year stressed the importance of ab is as
follows it's interesting at the time of
the plague when 100 people were dying
doid was not told the greatness of
T but he was told the importance of
saying saying carefully even
though as we say every single morning
praising but wants us to say and the ran
mentions that the and the
bo Above All Things what
wants the man should
know and thank the almighty that he
created us and the end says the ran and
we should announce together we are we
are your creatures meaning says you see
of course is is preeminent is is the
most profound of all Mitzvah but there
is something very unique about care with
your bras when you make a br and also
you say so many during the course of the
day if one is careful and and pronounces
the B carefully there is a tremendous
behind it and therefore even though T is
tremendously preeminent there is the
care and the Bas and I think if one can
concentrate more which I'm going to say
MIT in this year certain ideas and
themes for saying bras which I think
will give great depth if one can do that
you will
find my soul will never be numb and
always I will be thankful to the
Almighty the second point which I'd like
to bring out which I saw in the writings
of sh is as follows a beautiful thought
there is a certain pass in the to
regarding someone calls
a who curses the almighty the the
punishment for such a person is awful
he's given stoning he's
given and he has no reward
in as follows if we see that is the
awful end and the punishment given to
AAG look at at the other side
is we know the good quality is even
greater than that if that is the awful
punishment for somebody who who curses
the almighty can you imagine this for
someone who Benes who thanks and
therefore if you are always forever
thankful then the reward is enormous of
course a person has and is protected and
I think that is really the basis of what
he had mentioned that Shia which I spoke
about in Hof when he had said of saying
you're protected you have security and
safety from that and that is the
greatness behind Bas I was thinking as I
Was preparing my sh also it's
interesting as soon as we announce every
single
day straight away after we
say may his name be blessed forever
there's the meaning your your faith and
your trust in the almighty immediately
is complimented
by and therefore you see the enormous
import of saying a and that I think is
the theme which I'd like to bring out in
this year to be to be forever thankful
to be articulate and passionate with
your when you say not to rush it take it
slowly say the words clearly and say it
coherently and eloquently as best as you
can take
it say the word slowly and with meaning
the brings down in Sim the mentions
there you should be careful whenever
you're making a b not to do any other
activity meaning as follows if you're
making a b in food and you're going for
example from
to make sure your mouth is empty before
you say
another one's mouth should be full to
say clearly mean there's nothing in your
mouth at the moment and also of course
not walking around I remember the
great used to say as follows a which you
say after using the bathroom is not a
you're not supposed to walk around and
people often walk around when they say
stand still where you are and if
possible look at a card and say make
sure the B is said clearly and with
passion with understanding as best as
you can I think that is a theme which we
should try and develop in this period so
that we are always in the G of always
thankful to theas will become a work of
art a work of excellence and that's what
I'd like to try and create let start
therefore with the first the r as I
mentioned previously there are three
different types
ofas let's start with the first
one isas which are made after food
before and after food you
say or afterwards you would say or you
would
bench
or those are
called what is the function what is the
mindset which one should have before
making a before eating or after eating
what is the thought you must have the
gar brings down in the
G the following
understanding anybody who has any
pleasure or Delight from any food item
in in this world without making
a as if a person had done the
transgression of something called mea
mea means using holy property in the
wrong way Miss appropriating holy
property for example if a person had
given a carbin to the Bas of a sacrifice
of a cow and then he takes the cow into
the field and plows with it that's
called ma means you use property which
is actually holy which is kdes and use
it in the wrong way that's called and
therefore says thear if a person takes
anything in his mouth without making a
beforehand he's like because you don't
have a to use it
why all belongs to the almighty only
when you make
do you have a license in order to eat
the food meaning the B gives you a
license to eat it the MIM ask as follows
but surely if a person has done a
transgression of he's used holy property
in the wrong way it's it's but if a
person doesn't make a it's only and the
question is asked why can we compare
somebody who didn't make a to being the
transgression of ma of using heish
property holy property in the wrong way
the answer is that's the greatness of
the license you have you need a license
you're right it's not an a transgression
in the Torah but nevertheless the the
Mitzvah is vital it's a crucial aspect
of being able to join enjoy
everything he did give it to human
beings but on condition that you're
careful of the the B you make beforehand
and therefore whenever one puts
something in n's mouth before you do
that the importance of the B how it's
said and how you address the food before
you come to to eat it what is the
mindset though in order to understand
the whole concept of I'd like to give
you this thought
from meaning you're sitting down and
having a meal you're enjoying a food
you're having a cup of coffee and a
piece of cake or you're having a meal
what is the thought you must have in
order to consolidate and make sure that
the Bas that you make have a certain
impact in your own I think the following
way the gar brings down an analysis what
does it mean
what does a good guest say you have a
good guest and a bad guest the gar then
answers as follows a good guest turns
around and says you're sitting at
someone's table and you're a guest and
the host has given you a delicious meal
I what does a good guest
say how much meat my host has
provided how much wine my host gave
me how many Delicacies that means like
chocolate ice cream or strudel or some
delicacy at the end of the meal
something which is unique
and all that my host has done is true he
has a a whole table a family here but
really everything that he did is for me
that's a wonderful guest the guest turns
around and says what a fabulous host I
have says
the what does a bad guest turn man and
say I took a certain piece of
something I ate a slice of something I
don't know was it Schnitzer was it fish
I don't know what it
was and I drank a cup it was wet it was
wet liquid I don't was it wine was it
Coca-Cola I don't know what it was it
was something
wet and all that the host has done is
all for his family I really didn't he it
was only he was doing it for his family
it wasn't doing for me I was thinking to
myself as I looking at that gamar
there's a good guest there's a bad guest
there's an The Good the Bad and the Ugly
there's an ugly guest as well an ugly
guest really would turn man and say you
know who the great sadic here is at this
table it's me why because after all if I
wouldn't have come he would have thrown
the food away that's a real rotten guest
a real ugly guest and he said I'm the
Tad here because otherwise the food
would have been thrown away that's the
difference between a good guest and a
bad
guest that Bo say the V looks at that
gamar and sees a direct Parable which we
must take out a bit he determines as
follows who is the host the almighty is
the host who is the guest we are guests
here and that's the mindset one must
have in order before you make your and
in order to to forever thankful to the
almighty I'm a guest here whatever I'm
given nothing has to be has given me and
provided all this for me and therefore I
enjoy what I am I'm a I'm a guest at the
host table and and all that the host has
done has all been for me what Reon
provided has all being for me what a
wonderful host I have meaning is my host
here I'm only a guest here it's a
beautiful thought behind it
all just uh two days ago in in the Mir
Yeshiva a friend came over to me and
asked me he saw that I was I was saying
kadish for certain lady at the moment uh
I say a kadish I want kadish in every
single and a friend came over and he
says yanis I saw that you were saying
kadish would you be able to say a kades
for my one of my Mish I have an aunt who
had no children unfortunately and she
died in they had no money at the end and
she was buried in a non-jewish
cemetery and she has no one to say
carish for I can't able to are you able
to do it I thought to myself of course I
would do it why not and then he turned
around to me and said to me as follows
they had no children or so they had
tremendous debts and they couldn't even
buy a burial plot for the woman I
thought to myself my hand look my friend
looked at me with tears in his eyes and
he
said look at all that we have if you
have a family if you have children if
you have a certain amount of stability
in your home how much thankful we have
have to be to the almighty of all that
he gave it us he's not he's not Duty
bound to my host is not has no
obligation towards me and that's the
point he was trying to make to me I
think that's the point as
well when a person says these Bas before
I'm a guest and I have a wonderful host
and that's the mindset which I like to
suggest for you if one can do that
before you sit down and have your meal
you'll
think thank you Hashem for the meal that
I'm enjoying I appreciate very much I
appreciate my
host the second type of Mitzvah which
the bamb brings down is
called really is when you
say those are the those are who has
Sanctified us with his Commandments and
has commanded Us in the following way
early in the morning you automatically
have
two when you wash your hands and
also those are two which you say what is
the nature what is the meaning of
saying I would like to give you a
mindset something to think about
whenever you
say it's brought down actually the
brings down in the m that when when it
says one should try and stand up always
the importance
of the importance of MIT is to stand up
when you
say anytime you
say when you wash your hands for a meal
you're standing up as well preferably to
stand up to say the but I'd like to add
this
point the beginning in chapter six
mentions as follows when a person has an
intention to perform any mitzah whatever
it is the minute he has the int before
he's even come to say the b that
intention gives a certain light in his
Nish a tremendous his Enlightenment
which comes out he is inspired and the
Nish has a certain elevation it's
inspired and lifted up because of the
thought of one one is doing the Mitzvah
when you say the b and then you complete
the Mitzvah says thatan he brings down
after that the whole is uplifted an
entirely
different tremendous comes to a person
after he's completed it what is a great
Kad of that person before you come to do
the Mitzvah there's a tremendous arousal
which goes on in after you completed it
says what happens is as follows the
collects a certain enthusiasm momentum
to do another Mitzvah one Mitzvah leads
on to another Mitzvah it's called really
the power of the the motivation which
comes from a Mitzvah the V talks about
it in Mish in per
Al on the
words I will explain to you the nature
of my spirit and the the V explains as
follows when a person does a Mitzvah and
he then is rewarded with another Mitzvah
we have a concept Mitzvah Mitzvah one
Mitzvah leads to another Mitzvah answers
of vagon as follows that is not a reward
it's a natural outcome when one does one
Mitzvah automatically you're inspired to
do another one you give another it's
it's a reaction you know in Psychology I
think they have the concept of Pablo's
dog once you do something once you want
to do it again if you do one MIT you
want to do another MIT if you learn One
D you want to learn another D if you
were careful at one time not to talk the
inside you the spirit inside you
motivates you again to be more careful
and it works the other way as well
a once one does one a you're pulled in
and that's the the question I think is
as follows therefore if all the time
when you do one act whether it's a good
act or a bad act you're pulled in in
great motivation if it's good or bad
supposing a person unfortunately did LA
a thousand a how can he possibly find
his way back he has to do a thousand
Mitzvah to bring himself back the vard
follows I think this is really the
motivation behind the
words anwers as follows we have have a
concept
is the quality of G good which we
mentioned previously in this sh about M
what is much greater than the the bad
power meaning once you do something good
the motivation is far greater meaning
the pull and the draw and the in in
interest and the enlightment which comes
from doing is much greater than the pull
from doing an A and therefore of course
says if a person has done manyas and he
opens up a gar starts learning Torah
then the pull is much greater than that
he gets pulled in much quicker because
the power of good is far greater than
the power of bad and that's the nature
behind it and therefore one must
appreciate becomes lifted elevated
becomes enlightened I become motivated
much more and that's the great gift
behind the saying of when you
say the kadha you become in meshed with
your kadha and that's the great power
which is behind a mitzvah but what I
want to analyze with and take you a
little bit further is as
follows what happens when you've done
one Mitzvah what is the effect in Sham
in heaven what is what have you caused
when you do one Mitzvah what is the
outcome and what is the result from
doing one mitzvah for that we must look
at the words of the prophet yesaiah in
chapter 55 per n in yesah and the noi
says as
follows when the snow and the rain come
down but they don't go
back the rain and the snow come down and
they provide nourishment and the
provides food to eat agriculture prous
because of the rain and the
snow Loan in his p in his commentary on
P explains this follow P Bas Mish B
explains this follows what does the
prophet mean when he says the sh it
doesn't go back whoever thought that the
rain and the snow do go back rain and
snow come down they don't go back what
does he mean that the rain and the snow
do not go back andan explains as what
the Nai was telling us as follows the
rain and the snow do not goow back but
the Mitzvah certainly does meaning if
you do a Mitzvah especially it sends
something back and therefore that is the
real cycle of welfare and benevolence
you send spiritual aspects and the
mighty sends material bless he sends
rain and snow metaphorically of course
whatever the the BR is whatever the in
is and you send something spiritual and
that is the real cycle of prosperity and
growth in to mitzvas and therefore we
must understand as first once you
said and you've done a Mitzvah that has
sent a message up what goes up must come
down no what goes down must come up
whatever you came down must go up again
meaning you sent a b you cause a cycle
to occur and that's an enormous enormous
welfare and benevolence in the world
what happens here and it happens all
over CL Isel where not limited to where
you are maybe who knows where the B will
go you might turn man to me and say to
me as follows but I know many many sikim
who make many Bas and their life is not
full of happiness and success and B and
they don't have money what can that
possibly mean the answer is as follows
in the following way certainly we don't
know we all the reward which a person
gets from the Mitzvah is not always here
a person
gets person receives a tremendous reward
afterwards in and that's one aspect
that's one suggestion the other answer
to the question is as follows you don't
know where the raindrops will fall you
don't know where the snow will fall the
famous line of abis salanta once
mentioned his tremendous acute spiritual
vision he had he said as follows in a
beautiful point the yba in vilna helps a
businessman in Paris meaning somewhere
or other the snow and the vein drops
will fall wherever I don't know where
when the the B sits in the corner in the
vill the B
the businessman who's going into the
meeting in in Paris will be successful
because we don't know where the rain or
the snow will fall but you should be
sure and know that you've caused a
circle to happen and that cycle happens
and is a vital cycle of benevolence and
Welfare in CL Israel and therefore the
mindset one should have when one makes a
does a
mitzah I become enlightened and I become
more motivated with my spirit in order
to do more Mitzvah that's the great
motiv of course one does a mitzvah for
the purpose of doing the Mitzvah but you
should know the outcome is phenomenal
and creates tremendous wealth and
benevolence in CL is when one does one
thing it causes a rebound the boomerang
effect is enormous the boomerang effect
becomes a tremendous welfare in Cloud
Isel and therefore of course I suppose
in the situation that we're going
through now with all the Thrillers which
are said we hope this will have an
effect of looking after all the hostages
and the soldiers and the in if the more
fers that we said and the more response
that we give to sh so will send the snow
and the raindrops and the metaphorical
whatever it means in the welfare and the
the concern of kalis that's the nature
of it by sending something up and that's
the nature of prayer we'll send
something back down again and the
protection and the safety that we need
for everybody in involved in this in the
present time in CL is I'd like to add
here a certain episode I
remember once explained
these that the rain and the snow don't
go back from an episode which is brought
in the gay in
Bas the gay brings down as follows rebi
reudi had storehouses of food which he
kept as a store for times of famine in
Clan Israel and he would give out his
food at times of famine but he had
certain conditions of giving out the
food says the gar he
said people who learn or people learn
mishna people who learn gar people learn
people are gather anybody who learns any
connection with Torah let him come in
and share and enjoy all my food and the
supplies which he would give out in
times of famine but he said
Alim and please a person who has no
connection or no interest to to Al
please do not come in and share for my
food this happened for a while and there
was a certain talmid a certain student
of BBE called amam who was a certain
type of sadic who didn't want to take
for his toorah that he was he didn't
want to take any so he decided to
disguise himself and come into rud and
ask for food and Ruda him when he came
in he his family desperate needed food
Provisions for his family and Rie asked
him as follows do you learn mik he said
he lied and said no do you learn M no he
needed the food but he didn't want to
admit to any to that he learned he was
that sort of sad who didn't want to take
the reward for his toah reie turned
around and
says how can I give you anything these
are my principles so yonis to man and
said Reby then feed me like a dog or
like a raven who really eats tiny little
morsel a tiny little bit of food Reby
gave him a tiny bit of food and after he
left reie sat down in great sour and
turned around and
said O B I gave my food over to Namor
it's a person has no connection and reie
was very distraught about it his son was
standing next to him says the gar Bim
and he saw his father's great anxiety
and he investigated and it turned out he
realized it was R Ben meaning there were
certain T medum who were coming and
asking for food but they denied that
they have a connection because they
don't want to take him the bo of the to
said re if that's the case you let
everybody come in I can't take that risk
of people having the food we must ask
the questiona you will probably ask the
question as well how come rebi can deny
food to a man who's starving how can he
not give it out I think the answer is as
follows it was a time of famine and Reby
asto explained was fully aware of the sh
the cycle in times of famine every Morel
generates welfare generates rain and
snow meaning it generates blessing but
if a person just takes like a parasite
and takes only the food and amids giv
nothing back he has no connection he
doesn't make a he has no connection to
to nothing is sent back in the cycle and
therefore rebi was so cautious and it
was so precarious in the time of him
everything must come back there must be
a b and that's one of the reasons why
the explain why reie didn't give to him
but we see the enormous importance here
behind this when you
say you generate a whole scene of
welfare and conduct and benevolence in
CL Isel and that is the point I think
whichin was mentioning here the enormous
impact which there is from behind Bas
and that's the protection and the Safety
and Security that we're talking about
let's come back to where we began the
Shia there is a tremendous amount of
overload and emotional Strife in CL
Israel people people are caught up with
the problems and they're dabbing with
all their heart and all their soul for
the hostages and for the and for the
and on the other hand there's tremendous
Sim because you see what's happening and
there's ear no stability you feel caught
you feel caught between a and a Sim the
tremendous happiness when you hear these
stories of tremendous Divine Providence
how people were saved in in terrible
situations and all of a sudden Yeshua
came along and they were out of the
difficult out of the Ambush as I
mentioned
previously where do you find your
stability DAV saw it all he saw inic Lam
in him if you look at it you'll see and
the evening I'm in s in the morning I'm
in and my life goes up and down where's
my
stability in order that that should be
pumping life it should be singing and
shouldn't be
silent if I can be forever thankful to
the almighty and I'm taking as an
example of this the analysis which
styman had taken out in Han the
importance of Bas and giving a certain
consolidation and certain backing and
Foundation behind the Bas we did today
to next week in we'll have a look at as
a final but the whole nature of saying a
before and after food what is it if you
don't make a it could be it can be
misappropriating hagd property property
which is holy you don't have a license
to enjoy it what are you you're nothing
more than a guest sitting at the
almighty's table and
everything my host has provided
everything for me if one has in one's
mind I would like to
be I noticed that this was wine this
wasn't stamp just a piece of something
and I know exactly this was wine this
was meat this was a delicacy everything
the host provided for me meaning what
the re provided for me I'm overjoyed and
over thankful to him forever thankful to
him if we can do that if we can have the
mindset of a good guest whenever we make
a forever thankful there will will be
our protection also and from the second
case which we brought thez always to be
alert before you even come to do the
Mitzvah says when you have it in mind to
do it from the intention alone is the
tremendous of Kusha when you finished it
your sh gets uplifted with
a the nature of the is that it becomes
motivated to do more and more again and
that conditioning is something which is
so precious and vital in our success we
be forever thankful if you can do that
and you real realiz
that what happens is the rain and the
snow do not go back but the does from
the negative you realize the positive
does go back the rain and the snow do
not go back but the B does everything
you send up and that is the whole
momentum and the cycle of prosperity and
wealth for cloud and that's what we
learn also
fromi that he was so careful of not
giving his food to am because Amo
unfortunately doesn't make a he does
he's not careful and therefore he just
he takes as a parasite we should never
be par ites to all the blessings of the
ab the Almighty which he gives us I hope
that this year will be a certain mindset
you can take away for the rest of the
week the concept is to be forever
thankful the which one makes next week
we'll have a look
at the nature of saying which is praise
and thanks to if we can do that we
should we should have a wonderful week
and there should be security and safety
for all the hostages for the and for
the
can you hear what say
