Lech Lecha: Darkness in Exile, Israel War - Insights From Weekly Torah Portion

Shalom good morning welcome welcome to our viewers on tour anytime want to dedicate this year to the of benion B DOA him and his family all the hostages and their families all those who are wounded in their families and the soldiers and their families to their immediate imem success who will deliver great salvation and that will usher in the time of something I should have said last week but one week delay not a big deal we are now in the month of Maran what is this name Maran all the names of the months came with us from B and they were adopted by CLA and adapted into our calendar and you must assume that to the names that CL decided to to use says the is the same letters as or meaning the impression of Noah or preserving what exactly do you have to preserve before came along we had the months of and TI is 29 fantastic days of for the where we blew the we said 29 days of elevation the following month TSH was another 29 days saturated with heavy duty MIT we had such great great mitzvas and in these 29 and 29 which is 58 which is the gatria of no 58 special days 29 of 29 of TI we were so close to and that's why right after we finish those 58 days we start and we say and there at the beginning we read together with who is the 58 days every one of us during we walked with for those 58 days and that is why 69 say that again 609 69 because we have to make sure that what happened during the AL the S is preserved with us and that's why is called the impression that Noah 58 days did on us and our we have to preserve we have to safeguard and keep those days those 58 days in us the should not be cancelled and we know Noah had three sons which means there could be aath of three different directions AEM a and a we want to make sure that our generation are shame in other words they cling to the to preserve the 58 days that we cling to we were so connected during we have to make sure that continues and that is our prayer that it carries over throughout the rest of the year to that Mar is just because it doesn't have any Y in it and it does have to be called it wouldn't work and you wouldn't have the letters of now we go to the beginning of the promises I will increase your name this says that is why we say the god of yob what's the connection because I'm going to increase A's name therefore we have to sayov the god of yov what's the connection says the Mahar Assad Assad he was in the he was same generation of and passed away he was the in Hungary he rose 50 most of them were burnt and we got lost during the Holocaust but we do have sh said says we have the andov is how many letters I know it's early morning but no no big deal five letters five four four is 18 13 in my book is 13 good 13 is G one one sah how many letters that should be easy that's already a little harder four ra Leia total 333 + 4 333 is 9 + 4 is 13 13 and if you combine the matrics and the Patriarchs together you have 26 26 gri it must be kept at this number therefore Rashi says since we increased abu's name it used to be a four letters but now it's abam now we're 26 if we were to say is because yov name was switched he really is called is we should say is but we don't but if we would we would have 27 no good so because we increased name so much so that in says if you call you're not allowed to Once his name was switch you must use the name Abraham now you're forced to go with and not is otherwise you're not going to have 26 as the names of the fathers and the mothers must be contining with the [Music] same and he continues but the beginning is not the beginning I'm sorry once he says three things these three things maybe we should say in the with all three no no no we're going to end with you what does that mean we're going to end with you we're going to end soim said he explained the end of the galus is going to be a time of great great Darkness look around great Darkness but there will be a lot of people like you says to at the end we're going to end the gal with people like you where did you come from you came from a you came from the greatest darkness in the world and yet you decided oh there is AES in the world and I want to cling to him unlike unlike yob who had whom to learn from you didn't at the end of the Gallow it's going to be the same thing look around it's such a wave a spirit of Chua there was 30 40 years ago and I think this war at least in the last three weeks is creating such a new wave people wanted to get closer you know how many tias are needed in the Army and how many other good things and the that's flowing is a spirit of people want to get close to with you people like you we're going to Reve out of nowhere out of a father like that's what what is it's going to be a shortage of in the world but there going to be so much your ofu and that ushers in the G look around look around the last two weeks what's going on how people the outpour of warmth and generosity B all over the world M you see this is being fulfilled in front of our eyes and the next step will also be fulfilled real soon so is leaving and suddenly the Tora decides to tell us by the way he was 75 years old who cares you didn't tell me his Sho size and I don't know his size of his suit and I don't really care but it's very important for me to know by the way when he's living he's 75 years old why is it so important to know that because 75 is not just another number 75 is the G if you want to leave everything behind you there are some people here I think that left their natural surroundings some people left at 74 for 75 you want to leave everything that you know behind your family your friends your work the natural surroundings that you gr up and you're familiar and comfortable with you need major so therefore from the the beginning of says you know how do you do great great great things how do you embark on a great journey you take with you the is 75 and that's why the Tora says how old he was so when you do go on this journey decides to take explains how do you exactly form Souls how do you fashion people he converted them in and was that's whom he took with him so a convert is called a g what is this word where does it come from what does it mean a in Hebrew every word has an Essence there's no coincidence it's not an arbitary language that we decide to call a certain Thing by a certain name what is a g says in his this is the who wrote Al he is 200 years before the other who wrote so this whose are wouldn't you like to be in his place his Reb are so he says the word g comes from the language or from the root of G what is a g a kernel a kernel separated from The Big Unit what is a g he's a person who left behind everything that he knows everything that as if comprises the big unit and he is Left Behind he goes and he travels and and he is on his own says anyone who goes to a different place he's a foreigner in a uncomfortable and nor not in his normal place he is called a not only a person person who converted from other religions to yish and then he continues and he says even the are called a says about himself next week I am he said a stranger far called himself why because the yes you see their bodies they're here but up here they're not with us they are somewhere over there say they are twoo just like the convert they are in a different place not where they really want to be they are like a kernel separated from The Big Unit they are up there somewhere in sh with but their body happens to be here for whatever 120 years maybe a little more so therefore anyone who is in a different place a strange place a foreign place is called a but why is it called a SED person who converts is called a says learn that the gim are very strict with their observance of mitz they're very very mitz which means they do as if more than what they're supposed to extra they go the extra extra mile there's a in and again that says the worded means giving in giving giving something more than what you need to as the explains there take from yourself and give to him so since the do extra which means the word they are called so when takes these people with him how many people are we talking about how many people did he convert how many did he have in you hear the language of the ra multitudes of people thousands tens of thousands men amount count which means we were supposed to be greater number than China at the end we go down to Egypt with how many people 70 70 you just told me multitudes of people thousands and thousands tens of thousands went down went went along with he converted them where did they all go when died what that when AB died they all dispersed dispersed fine so we should be all over Jewish people all over the place I don't have a problem with where going down only 70 people but where are all the Jews he converted everybody he ConEd them to what to believe to yish guide like he did no but he beled to believe in God good not necessar to yudish gu cuz there was no yish gu then beled to believe in God good so they followed him whatever he believed in he taught them and they followed him right so they should be like him if he ultimately becomes Jewish they should be Jewish they are their re is Abu what happened to them says he brings a listen to three words the all of them they all went sour they all went back to where they came from which she a p we look ATU and we give him such accolades wow there's no one like you it's the biggest me Factory in the world anything that moved by him boom he converted sometimes it took 5 minutes sometimes only 4 minutes but you're going to be converted if you see a you're going to be converted it's it's a failure if he was in any other industry would say go look for a at a different job you're not good really what you're doing not 50% of what he did was not successful the all of them went sour that means totally total total failure in anywhere else you would say go look for a different thing to do it's it's you know it's not really working for you in go go somewhere else maybe be a doctor be a lawyer is not for you says the we are not commanded to be successful we are commanded to do to perform and once you do that there's no there's no whatsoever in fact says about says I love why he teaches his household members and every around to do the right thing what they're ultimately going to do is each person in this world has has nothing to do with a he did what he needed to do and he did it in the most in the best way he gave 100% effort for that he is looked as the greatest person in the world what's going to happen later has nothing to do with him it's a very hard concept to so hard but look at his son 50% of his kids went sour look at a himself 50% of his kids win sour his name was isma's 50% is called a 50% and yet we say wow it's of all the greatest Educators in the world has nothing to do with us each person walks in this world and has his own and forms the connection and relationship that he wants with they told the bris about a certain organization that they were doing K and all the people afterwards wasn't successful and they all went sis says wow but at least one shabas when you had him they all ate kosher and they all said you would get more reward if ultimately they decided to do the right thing but there's no claim on you and all they request from you from above is that you give it your all once you do that finished so if a parent is teaching his kids to do all the right things but whatever happens and the kid decides to go off for a little while there's no t on the father there's no t on the mother look at look at and as long as you give it your all if you don't there is a big Tiner biger but as long as you do what you need to do look ATU all those people went s and there a tremendous tremendous to us to know that we need to do what we need to do what is going to ultimately happen has nothing to do with us it's not in our hands 63 mitz what's the first mitvah was ever commanded to do who name what what's his name was he Jewish I asked what was the first mitvah Jew was commanded to do wasn't Jewish in fact there's Jewish people and there's B he's not such we don't view by the way no kept the entire but he's still not Jewish what's the first mitvah a Jew is commanded to perform I'm sorry before and much before the Bri happens to be in AR a little the first do that depend on the has a status of or is he a Jew I know was written about it third part is in the computer give an assistance they should come out soon but anyways we view him as pretty Jewish and therefore the first Mitzvah a Jew was ever commanded to do is and based on that the following I once asked it says if you're going about to do a Mitzvah you will not be harmed a special protection in says that anyone who walks four AR every four in is based on that maybe we can say anytime you're walking in it doesn't make a difference where you're going and what you're going for it doesn't make a difference you involved in a Mitzvah if you're involved in a Mitzvah you're always protected and shielded in can we say that so says to me yes if show yes he always protected so I said I understand asks will not be on the way to the Mitzvah what about on the way back what about when they go back so they asked ra and he says lo I don't know they asked him when the guys OFA go back night time it's dangerous all kinds of mikim on the way will they be protected on the way to the shiv in the morning I know they're protected but what a way what a about on the way back and says I don't know the continues says no they will not be harmed what is it what's the where did he live in B so he says I don't know why I don't know why those Yeshiva guys are coming back home after a long day in the Yeshiva is it because they're hungry and they want to eat is it because they're tired and they want to go to sleep they're entitled to but there is not they're not involved in a Mitzvah so they don't necessarily have protection but if going home because they want to eat so they'll have tomorrow to learn better if they're going home to sleep so tomorrow they'll have more to learn then they're involved in a Mitzvah and then they will be protected so says I don't know because I don't know each person why he goes back but says no they will be protected why where does live and that's doesn't make a difference what's the reason they going back home no matter what they're protected because anytime they start walking that's every four they're protected says got ask come [Applause] so says I'm going to give you the entire land but you know what part of the land whatever you see I will give you it sounds as if it's dependent On's eyesight whatever you can see is yours if you don't see it it's not yours how big is can you see the entire land how big is before that says 400 by but if we learn when you multiply anama by anama you get anama in two fifths that's what the G says if 400 by 400 we have to add two fifths what's the fifth of 400 80 two fifths 160 so 400 + 160 so the size the Sol is 560 where should you stand if you want to be able to see 560 what's the best way Mountain stand in the middle if you r in the middle look to the right look to the left you'll be able to cover everything good how far can one see we learn that a Shepherd can see to a distance of 16 me that's four par four paraa only but we learn that was a giant the Giants of all Giants that his size was corresponding to 74 people but in say is corresponding to 70 people so if a regular person can see to the distance of four if you're 70 times greater than normal people 70 times four you can probably see to the distance of 70 * 4 is 280 perfect stand right in the center of which is the 280 and you'll be able to look to the right to the left whatever you see I will give to you who else can say such a thing is going to war he and his slaves his army where is this place called it's to the left of theic very strange language here the T never uses right and left to tell us directions we normally use north and south east and west suddenly here the switches and uses the word left to tell me by the way it's to the left so say whatever you want to say Direction how come you using right or left where do we find small where do we find small to tell me things which object each other the opposite if you go to the right I'll go to the left that's the opposit or I want to include everything don't deviate to the right or to the left that means don't deviate period not to right or to the left or doesn't mean to the right to the left it means they were surrounded water but suddenly here the Torah decides to use and nowhere else do we find this the right and the left is indicators of directions left represents North that's what the tum says the says left and right you created and the over there says so the tum that here in our proc says right and left actually denotes north and east but again why Sly here to switch as opposed to everywhere else I'm sorry North and South I'm sorry North and South why suddenly here we use left and right as opposed to everywhere else which is only an indicator for something else I have a dear friend and he said the father is I think is a million dollars at least who actually went to war with how many soldiers one his name4 so when the says 318 soldiers it actually means one Mr elazar who actually has the gima the numerical value of 318 Great so when the Tora says to the left of D we have to look at the left side of the word domestic what does that mean we find the word twice in the T once here and then right after it says went and he was able to to be Victorious and he took back stuff with him and the second time it says my house member is so when it says look to the left of the word d d go to the left El is found on left side in other words it's El to what the gor says it's not really 318 it's the person representing 318 people and his name was elaz and in the first time here when it says the word Vash Vash has the same numerical value as well as 319 so after the word DK in other words to the left of the word domestic again you have 318 telling you that really only took elaz who represents 318 soldiers and that's why the Tora D here uses the word small left to tell you if you're going to T said to the north it wouldn't help you would understand what they're saying here you have a to what say and the is so precise there's a few other special words in this in this para the word appears for the first time in the entire tanak the word aai has a numerical value of 47 and it's a I found that the word aai appears 47 times in the word Shalom appears here for the the very first time after 375 in other words the 376 has the word Shalom gatri of shom 376 and it doesn't stop with that Shalom has the gatria of 376 and in is one of the it says T shalom shalom has 376 gtia sh is the language of sh ding so the word Shalom has built in the word this comes to teach us anyone who pursues peace his prayer will be answered pursue peace and that is a key to accept your prayers you're going to have a son from whom [Applause] and don't we know sah is his wife again next week and we don't know Sarah as his wife it's a Superfluous word maybe you should say sah or just say why do you have to say you mention her I asked this and he answered me four words to cause an endearment an inection between in the Tom rash said that good it's a think about it now Rashi says it about why did they ask him I'm asking on the word what need those two words how many years are they married got married says either when he was 50 or when was 25 Let's Go with 25 so they're married 65 years here this quite a while 75 years sorry 74 and yet who still thinks is an in here to enhance the Shalom B between this unbelievable couple of the greatest sadim if that's the case what are we going to say you see from here to do anything you can to be yourself and your wife for your wife to be herself on you you see from here there's no extra words in the it's an instruction for us and if you can do the same with other couples to be one on the other it's a tremendous thing and you see with that you're also fulfilling the just like he tried to enhance l b between couples we should try to do the same riddle Five Point riddle you came just in time Five Points riddle what animal perform what's that animal animal but call not a is a person first he's a p first is a wild being and then he's also an Adam he's Adam he's not called an animal what animal perform strange thing monkey a monkey are you familiar with this monkey can you show me this monkey we mentioned it last week we mentioned it last week monkeys and elephants for some reason do you think that generation had anything to do with a b and that was when they're humans if anything but asking what animal while it's an animal performed a it's not sted that I give Five Points otherwise I would give just two points was commanded to do and he had no clue how and where this is done maybe you have to cut off a certain nail what is he didn't know what to do suddenly a scorpion came and bit him and he looked down oops I am circumcised that's why the says it should say Mal he circumcised himself it doesn't say that Neo that means it was done to him so the Scorpion is the first animal the only animal that we know to perform with that you can understand whyu circumcised according to many opinions only the eth day will over R it's not really B how old is he a little older than 8 days old how old is he now it's not really but he didn't do it the Scorpion did it there's no problem the Scorpion was the first animal the only animal performing a didn't he say he went to get Vice what that didn't he say didn't he say he went to get Vice yeah normally you should no but it says that the went to get advice from other people about the many explain he wanted to ask him what should I say what's the the formulation needs advice from other people if to perform A's instruction or not many he asked this question and therefore they come up with different ideas he asked you know should I do it in Time Square or should I do it you know in my own basement that nobody should see he asked him all kinds of question didn't ask him should I listen to Or Not doesn't need advice about that how do we get from Scorpio to Monkey we don't no connection so why do we oh I no connection that's last week's no connection to this wasn't afraid he was going to die another scorpion him no he looked and said oh that's what you meant I didn't know how to do it you sent me a language one of them is apparently a scorpion another riddle how can it be a kid is born we're going to circumcise him next Sunday a week half now 10 minutes later another kid is Born the same hospital and he will have a circumcision one day earlier next shabis 10 minutes later another kid is born and we will circumcise him two days early on Friday next Friday can it be in the same place they're all healthy three kids are born 10 minutes apart the first one will circumcise Sunday the second one he is younger he's born 10 minutes later will be circumcised on shabas one day early and the one which is the youngest 20 minutes younger than the first one he will be circumcised two days early can it be only three points for this one what about and how ises the going to work with three people that goes for the bit it works very but how's it going to help us with this in the month of today today today can it be yes it can be the first kid is born 10 minutes after when should we circumcise him it's a suff we don't know if he's a Friday boy or he a shabas one so next week Friday we can't Mal him because maybe it's only the seventh days not the eth you can't do it on shabas because maybe he's a Friday boy it's so where do we when do we circumcise him when do we circumcise him Sunday 10 minutes later this kid is born after tonight he's a shabas boy so of course we'll circumcise him next shabas the third kid is born 10 minutes later to a family that hold for all intents and purposes for them is mom is still a Friday for us it's shabas for them it's Friday he will be circumcised next week on Friday a 24y old comes in later yeah for all int purposes not for if it's for we're not going to do that but if it's for all intents and purposes yes there are people who do that cusing time if they hold only in other words they just want to be to make sure but they don't do it we can't do that because maybe you're circumcising a kid on shabas when it's not his eighth day but if they hold for everything so then they have to go with time for all intents and purposes a 24y old guy comes and tells us the following many years ago when I was born I had a br but they didn't do a suda for me is there Anan should I have a suda now that I realize that there was never a suda when I was or not 24 years later what's the connection now do you do kind of late 24 24 years later what do you say say say yes you say yes because you have sour nor I when you have a baby girl many cases where they didn't do a sud to Sor and the fames more so for just as much for a boy okay so as should be he said um to the family and for for the girl also and for the girl for the girl too the Mas that that was left out that was not at that time they missed that they missed the Mas and now she she Lees the and without it she won't be able to get married no can't get married she would't be get but uh where does it say thou she give a musle to baby girl and how many mus does she need and if only 25 people came instead of 7 that you invited so no good you need to do it again no there multitude of people who who come and wish you good wish you Source I like source is there a source let's see equality so you want to cut off something of hers as well What refers so what do you see from here at the end of we won now fin asks what are you talking about we don't find that one of the decrees of was you're not allowed to have AIS no such thing so they did have AIS so why now they rejoicing with AIS says they had a all along but they didn't have the sud now that ham is gone they can have a you see a source that you can have a sud even though it's not long time after the Bri itself you can have a sud another source does a great festive meal for you it's like CU I'll say two years later when he stopped nursing that means two years later later in the time of they always used to nurse for two years then he did a big festive meal two years later excuse me the pr was 2 years ago you see from here you can do a two years later goodan does mean no when he stopped nursing he's two years old not mitzah yet then he did a for the good Ros good Ros for Just For Thought these are not good if you why if you have a a dress on Tish then the Su family is straight away maybe should that's not a problem to be one day we're talking about you're coming when you're 24 years old you're coming when you're two years old what's they actually have I'm willing to wait 7 hours and you know what do it 5 minutes before you're only waiting an hour and a half no big deal said these are not good for our question for our guy 24 year old guy why the time of H why didn't they do the suda they were afraid tremendous fear here not the time of why didn't he do the sud immediately after the Bri because he said if I'm going to do a now you know what people are going to say this guy is crazy and not only is he crazy he is so cruel he is cutting off something of an eight day old baby get his K may die and he's sitting and having a nice big festive meal this guy is crazy said you know what let me wait I'll wait two years and they'll see it's like it's just getting stronger and bigger and everything's okay there'll be a tremendous they'll understand then it's a MIT so he had a reason you had no reason not to do the these two high don't apply and what you will do is something very very strange to people are going to look around and say what are you doing two 24 years later you're doing a sud and therefore it's not sh I but you say he's going to be missing on all the muleo and all the Bros so there's a misconception or something a saying that people say in the name of the styp I took somebody once from La Toki and told him the following About Cha and he said when my daughter was born so we didn't do aish and now she's 18 and I understand from your father the stip there's a big indan to do aish to get all the that find a big a good and everything else we deny that from her back then should we do it now I understand it's from your father STP said my father never said such a thing never said such a thing then he said I'll give you you'll be able to do a to your grandchildren coming from this daughter think about it people do a kdes at the age of 18 or 20 or 24 or 26 to a girl that didn't have a KES think about it at that time in fact when she's 12 already you should teach her the main thing most important thing for a woman is to be Inward and now you're putting her in the spotlight and everybody should be talking about her looking at her that makes no sense so maybe she'll get but your gain is offet by your loss you're teaching her lack of sneeze you're potentially causing a stumbling block to many other people makes no sense so when she is born AV to do it why not celebrate and than but afterward when she's older makes no sense and the stiple never said that it doesn't exist that's why I asked you for Source the first person to ever cast har we spoke about I think in many different but who's the first person to ever cast an on someone else and it actually worked what you do an Rashi says that when the P says the Mal said to her you're going to be pregnant says but she was is already pregnant you told me that before M this come to teach you that sah gave an to ha and she lost the baby so the Mal comes and says don't worry you're going to be pregnant again you got that one right but now let me ask you the second question who is the second person to cast an IR h on a person and it worked the first one Sarah great who is the second person in the world to cast an IR har that we're familiar with and it worked and whom did he cast the surprising answer is next week this time on the says brings and therefore he was so weak he had such high fever and he wasn't able to walk many twice once on hag second time on her son yes y also warns his Sons when they go down to MIT listen you're all big tall handsome don't go in in the same gate this may cause a each one should go from a different place has tremendous tremendous power again we spoke many many different in maybe we will in the future a little more Waits 99 years until he commands I'd like you to circumcise yourself why so long command to that's a question if I would ask why did Abu wait until command him to do fulfill the entire T before it was given so the famous question is so why did wait until commanded him you sit in the Suka every year you keep shabas every week and you put oning every single day so why do you wait so the God says and actually is even before that I think is the first one to say it that he wanted to be in the realm of one who's commanded to do something and does it which is higher level than one who does not command it because this is a onetime shot you can't do it next week again you do it once so you wanted to get more wanted to be to do it as an person who's obligated but didn't ask that my question is why did wait 99 years to command him why not earlier saw that was his loyal servant much before that either at the age of three he recognize or at the age of 48 says the age of 40 let's go with the age of three so waited 96 years to command him why don't you do a why so late is any connection with ish was born is need with 1 years old so that's why to 99 AB why does it have to be 13 years later and why does have to be born so long later let him be born 13 years after's what does that to be 13 says the y99 to teach all future converts if a convert will come the age of 86 and he would say you know I'd like to oh I have to convert I have to also do bris sorry I don't do that even you're was only 72 when he got this I think it's too dangerous so say you know what we're going to wait 99 years no one will ever be able to say you know for me it's you know I pass that age we don't do bris on a person who's 92 years old not a was 99 when he did his and he is fine so this closes the door and all future excuses for all people to come whether it's a b that never whether it's a convert whatever it is if have 99 I guess this assumes nobody's going to come at the age of 100 or 101 I don't know but 99 I guess it's a you know closure on 100 years of life and they may that's the reason that's the reason that the brings brings a different reason 99 is what letters in Hebrew is and T is spelled t and that is a gatria 613 so wanted him to be at the age which represents 613 that is 99 and that's why he waited 99 years is there an indan [Music] to kill innocent people in Aza women babies many of them were killed apparently will be killed in the war is there an inion how do we look at this to so now you're a navi you're a navi you're talking about a baby 2 day old a 5 day old are they aik did you see their so you're any other to perform a b what numb is are going to win the lottery tomorrow do you know shom to think that there is a capital punishment imposed by us and babies and mothers and innocent people innocent civilians but in war people will die and you see throughout the tanak that when you go to war you're trying to win a war and I don't want to say we don't care but we have to ignore for the time being the mercy that we do have in US built in us who is a that's the says that's that's the acronym of is is is that is the essence of a Jew but at the time of a war that's just the nature of the beast that's how Wars are played out and therefore even though every person every person throughout world is created in the image of God and therefore person is dear we have extra we have a another notch another level on top of that another layer of that we have towards has towards us but every person in this world is but when to myph just just a couple days ago and they were told that when they not sure they still have to shoot right because that is the way a war is fought that's just the way it works but when we hear of innocent civilians and we know for a fact he's innocent when he's one month old we should not be happy we should be elated when a terrorist dies because that saves many Jewish lives each one of them that goes but when innocent lives are di we are not happy but that's just the N nature of a war and in fact I'm not an expert but I understand that part of the delay in starting you know the uh to go inside there is not only to save our hostages it's also to eliminate um hurting civilians and we allow them to go out the fact that Kamas is not letting them that's their issue but we are trying to do the best along with it we have to make sure not to hurt those civilians but not to say oh so we can't fight because have language in if you become too merciful and a person who is cruel ultimately you will become cruel on those who are merciful and Cloud soil wait for them to leave it's the right thing to do if it doesn't hurt your efforts and according to our understanding it doesn't hurt our efforts we know that we need to do and it also gives us time to get ready to do what we need to do and to train a lot of people who just uh came in from reserve it it works on our you know to our best interest he told me also regard to that we wondering why isn't why aren they going in quicker so he said they expected expected them this way sure sure sure and the Mish in says even when the enemy is wicked you should not be happy in his downfall so what should you be happy about we definitely should be happy when an enemy Falls because the enemy of Hashem Was Defeated we're not fighting with the Enemy because he is wicked because he is the enemy of hem but the does say in when your enemy Falls don't be happy and this is a question many people asked I was asked this I don't know how many times in the last two weeks it clearly says do not be do not rejoice when your enemy Falls so says Hamm was instructed to take Mor and to put him on the horse so when he did that M says to him I'm so sorry I can't get on my horse by myself I'm fasting for three days now I just don't have you have any someone says well okay and he bend down and had to step on him when he was about to step on him give him my nice kick and looked at him says excuse me you forgot a what are you rejoicing when your eny Falls and says say you read only part of M you forgot another and when fall tremendous tremendous happiness you forgot another you should step all over them when your enemy Falls that refers to an enemy soil enemy when your competition in business is not successful don't Rejoice he is a just like you when you start theor says the med says when you have an argument Ines about a certain with your friend and you showed him you're right don't Rejoice just be happy that you found the EMS potentially yes that argue they look as if they're enemies and they don't move from there until they become from they turn into you should step all over them that refers to you to all the so we don't have any problem with this actually says in this but it says you should rejoice when the are extinguished how can these we learn from this refers to that beat you today in and tomorrow comes something else and you beat him but if you see a your enemy and he tries to kill you and you killed him of course you should Rejoice but with what says with the fact that the enemy of is lost there a tremendous couldn't believe it appears twice last week's kills someone else will says no good the same thing he says in wants to say when do this Supply the isue of don't murder in times of Peace that's why the here says when there's when there's love between the two when there's time of peace and you go and you kill someone but at the time of war the doesn't apply there was a that was a certain individual and he was successful this person became from very good and he told me you know what when you get married I'll be your great few years passed and now this person is about to get married so so the family calls the and says you promise you're going to be the please come says where's the wedding he says 2 Kil from the border right next to AA we're expecting you on Tuesday 8:00 p.m. whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa when I said I'm going to come to be the and I never me the time of War you kidding me I'm not going there it's dangerous I'm afraid I but when you say you're going to do this is a for mitvah you have a problem it's a can he an can what can he do how can he get out of it should he get out of it he's afraid although last week I think or two weeks ago we said says you're not allowed to be afraid when you're going to war say Don't Be Afraid says Don't Be Afraid going to he's not going to war no he's not going he's going to he's going to Camp he going he's not going to war it's a time of war no he's not going to fight so he shouldn't be afraid maybe all these were meant only for soldiers not for this is afraid should he go down there to AA or not but you forgot the next sentence in we learn will not be harmed but he can say he can't go to the middle of the highway and say nothing's going to happen to me I'm walking in the middle of the highway I can't be harmed because i'mah guess what the next truck is running over him in a place where it's dangerous you can't use you have to be careful we normally say will not be harm but in a place which is dangerous you can't say that so if it's dangerous down there how can you say you can't use that up going to the Cel today could be considered as dangerous who says who says dangerous in the last few weeks did you hear anything going on there a million soldiers and police officers I don't necessarily think it's considered a Mak but what about this person this should he go down there or not I know that's the problem he didn't he didn't have he didn't have mind it would apply in a situation like this so we can find the pet so a very similar sh was asked to I think it's in and he asks him there was a a guy a young Bahu who was hospitalized in the hospital he was not with us anymore he was uh I don't exactly what this condition was but he wasn't with us so the family asked me to come and I came and it was unconscious and I gave him a and I said to the family don't worry he will wake up everything will be okay and I'm going to be them and in fact a few hours later a guy woke up he was healed and he was fine and now is asking now this kid is getting married the family just called me now two years later and he's getting married I said great I'll be the where's the wedding they said in New York said New York I'm not going to New York I don't have to go all the way to New York to fly all the way to the states I don't have for that do I have to go same Shadow same Shadow so says to him it's clear that it's clear that when you made this NE you didn't have that in mind it's it's so clear and evident that when you said you're going to come you're going to be you didn't mean flying all the way to what it be if it to be I don't know somewhere in an island if you take it's got to takes you three days to get there it's clear that you didn't have that in mind and in the way itself and to go to a question you have to ask and you teach to the it's a tremendous it's not like you're going from here to the next city and you come back the recuperation from you know to recuperate from the flight and the flight itself it's a for sure you don't have to go and if you're still so just do and that's what we're going to say to the here you don't have to go it's clear that you when you said I'm going to you didn't mean in in the time of war and if you still we'll do since we're talking about an amazing with who once went to be and he goes to the father and says who's going to be the a so he points to these two guys say oh one of the guys was a knesset member very very very very very secular KET member very very very secular very secular and a few other things especially we learn who can be a kosher witness and who is disqualified if it'ss all the description of the disqualified ones what do you do doesn't want to embarrass anyone in the middle of the wedding look how clever goes to this member and says I understand you're supposed to be an ed here right says yeah he says maybe you can do me a favor sure look I am invited to be almost every night no one ever invites me to be an ed I would like to replace you I would like to be the Ed they never give me the Ed I know how to do it but I never was an ed would you mind switching me you look I don't know how to do it says don't worry about it I'll do it I'll tell you what to do it's very easy I'll be there right next to you I'll Stand the whole time but I want to be the yet would you mind says yeah is a big honor so sure I'll do it give Alik such an Insight such brilliancy the only problem with this and he said there's from the of France in the time of not to give anyone who's not an expert in to be I don't think it's a problem here he's officiating the whole thing he what's the reason for the Tak to make sure there's no big mistakes that can cause an e big problem it's not going to cause it's not going to happen here you have that checks everything and in fact all he's really doing is honoring this guy to say the first two that's his role here is he's also the Ed and this just the U sensitivity and the brilliancy Not to cause any embarrassment and yet to keep the I want are you're going to argue with comes to your wedding and says maybe we should do it this way wow You'll have a story to tell your grandchild you know the change something in a word you'll be so proud if there is a siren that goes off in the middle of one's learning should he stop his learning or not last two weeks I heard all kinds of ideas about this and for some reason for some from some people who told me if anywhere else throughout the day when I'm doing things I run to the mamad to the safe place of the shelter but not when I'm learning when you're learning you don't have to in the middle of the in the amida you must stop you go to the mad and you continue ding there you try not to talk and you go to the next place where you're safe and you continue ding over there you don't wait you start continue ding overrides everything including called but what about when you're learning is there a to say that when you're learning you should continue learning is if you don't stop for anything else yes uhhuh stop for other interruptions what about other interruptions of the same level how did you elevate that don't stop for for answering my call answering somebody who calls me how do you compare that to what's that does that mean you should not stop when you're learning tell me tonight what what do you stop your learning in order to do interesting however there is a base out to what you're saying who is that The Who and he writes we learn Ley would go visit people who are very very sick with something very contagious a disease called that's and nobody else would want to get close to them the says and rassi wouldn't even eat eggs that came from the same neighborhood when they're in their peel they wouldn't touch it who knows who I'm going to get this worse than Corona worse than Corona would sit with him and would learn with him asks the excuse me what are you doing who gave you permission we learned we said before when it's dangerous place you don't say you have to be careful you have to watch yourself says that's true to all otherz but learning to is different and one will not be harmed even do we passing like this absolutely not says you know why because our hearts are not as pure as and do you know how you're learning do you know that your learning qualifies to say well I'm learning it comes back to all all mitz are rejected for except the big three learning Tora is not one of the big three it's a gigantic one but not as far as this is concerned it's not must stop his learning and run to how would we apply this principle came up in one of the shoes that I go to the shoes just like a caran is no place and a couple of very elderly gentlemen who find it very hard to walk they're still coming to the shoe I would imagine in this situation where it could be an alarm at any time they have a header to D on the home at the same time as the minion by coming to Sho what do you do people that and if goes off S goes off we going leave these elderly that's a great question it has to be addressed case per case depending on the city that this is happening in and depending on the individual depending on the msus what we can offer him or not and depending on the time because this changes by the day and by the minute this week they opened up all the school and said you can go back to regular learning just up to Tuesday it wasn't like that so this changes so we have to listen to the directives that we get from the authorities with the who's going to be asked this question that specific person that specific time specific M who we just quoted in his writes an unbelievable thing he writes if somebody is not in times like this he is commands because he writes the terrible try that befall us is because forgetting the to so if one doesn't do anything he can to strengthen his to which is the only way to fix he is and who should know better than and therefore if one who is listening to this still didn't jump on the bandwagon called join whatever D you like there's so many different options out there if you're already doing so start or whatever Yi there is if you're already doing all the y or you're not interested in the Y so whatever it is that you're learning learn with more amus spend a little more time you want to be because that's our way out just what end with a few the Nai Mal was the last prophet Mali is the last prophet and at his time things are really really bad spiritual level of many Jews were married to non-jews the spiritual level was very very low and the F second I love you say says even though you angry me says I love you and I will give you the land that I swore to the says and says what does this mean says the before if the if the nation is if they're level either in spirituality in what they do or don't do in Mitzvah or and the physical ability to fight is very very low very weak he's he is as if open there's holes in the fence both the spiritual one and the physical one and yet you find Mis you find people who volunteer to fight he says this is his language this is not natural this doesn't make sense this is a Divine Divine thing and therefore and therefore bless because it's only from him you see what's going on here in the last three weeks how people are volunteering and what they do to fight for Claus Soul whoever whatever those people can hold on the gun those people who can hold on the Toya and those people who can do the TI and everything else that people are volunteering and contributing is just unbelievable that doesn't make any sense it's not natural where is it Froman and therefore bless should we be afraid or not no not at all no fear why can I hear you take okay we'll take action can we be afraid while are we taking action we said that when you're going to war Don't Be Afraid don't think about anything else just think I'm going to win's with me said something before not be afraid okay let's see it's natural natural it's natural what do you want from me who's the proof to what you're saying instru I want you to throw down the staff he does suddenly it turns into a snake runs away listen to a language of it's a wonderment our Master M what happened to you where are you running to and from what are you running you're talking to so you think is not there he's there too and by the way you think can't protect you here you are talking to you're leaving because of a snake and over there you cannot be harmed and over there you can run away from the snake if want he's going to throw the snake right back at you what did you gain and what are you what are you doing says what do you want it's natural even though he he's also human he's human and it's only natural to get scared startled I saw a snake two seconds ago this was a snake oh he runs away this is so what are we going to say so you're saying should be afraid let's see what says wrot a talking to us today unbelievable I'm reading to you the and I want you to tell me what this is talking about seemingly no connection says what does that mean don't be too Wicked and don't do don't be foolish why because if you do because you may die early what's the connection if I'm going to be a fool so I'm going to die early next it's good to hold on to this this must be referring to the previous P so you be should be a little Wicked not too much so hold them just also to becoming foolish why God fearing individual does both what are you talking about Chinese com David I'm telling you where cuz you must look at up don't trust me to look it inside look at it I'm quoting we thought it means don't be Wicked it's not what it means if something cames which is scary be afraid but not too much don't be too scared can be a little scared don't be AF fool meaning oh I don't feel it I don't know what to talk about Not Afraid at all why because you may die too young what's the connection because one who is too scared The Fear Itself can kill him and one who says well nonsense I don't care so he's not going to run to the shelter he's not going to run to the mad he's not going to take means to protect himself and he may die early so what's the right thing to do it's good to all and to both why one who is God-fearing individual to be a scared a little and to also strengthen your heart to say I'm not worried because one who is extremely scared it's as if he removes his from hasem can't protect me so therefore he's very scared one who says I don't care about it it's as if he is not worried about the that he sent to you so why would he W wake up up to do CH why would he change his ways comes you have to be a little scared and ignore a little and make sure you just do the right thing which is and with that will be protected last this is engraved on the walls of the till today in shall be Remnant and it shall be Holy says Those Who Remain here in he is called holy what inscrib for where is that should that all of us will be called holy in the eyes of will come back we will see this War ending with a tremendous victory
