there's an
incredible that says when a person says
something it becomes real it turns into
something that is manifested something
that turns into real life and thear
brings an instance there with Pinas who
was sitting shiva he was sitting for a
relative of his that passed away and his
brother came to visit him he came
to TU day that he was sitting there Shu
noticed that the fingernails of Pinas
were l
were to were over beyond beyond the
amount that it should be and therefore
he asked him why are you not cutting
your fingernails aren't you supposed to
cut your fingernails so he told them and
if you were sitting shiv would you also
not go ahead and cut your fingernails
you wouldn't go ahead and cut your
fingernails also obviously was because
actually hold that you're allowed to go
ahead and cut your fingernails and the
problem is that they were both brothers
but anyways they when P said that to him
he said to him and if you were sitting
of a loot on someone would you not go
ahead and cut your nails also soon
afterwards Shu a couple weeks later
ended up sitting shiva for one of his
close and direct relatives when Pinas
came his brother to visit him
and was very perturbed and he cut off
his fingernails in front of him and
threw it in front of p and he said
because of
you because you went ahead and spoke out
the fact that I will sit or could sit sh
so it ended up causing an effect which
can lead to me also sitting shiv look it
really happened words are powerful words
are dangerous words can cause damage in
an incredible type of way and there are
a number of gamar which bring this out
I'm not going to extend on all of them I
just want to mention a couple of them
very
quickly brings about a person that lost
a relative and it says over there when
he known as when he's going ahead and
thanking not thanking but telling hm
that I'm okay with what happened the
that's brought there
is and you didn't pay me back one in
1000 amongst the says and you didn't
even pay me back enough for what I
deserve and over there aay comes along
and proclaims don't you dare say that he
he takes that statement out and said
don't say such a statement because that
means that is going to leave room for
more to happen you're leaving room for
something else to occur as brings down
that because it says and he brings a
proof from a when that when they spoke
out that we're acting like Z then Z
almost occurred to them yes goes ahead
and calls
them because of doing this is
actually in is brought down by it says
to be careful not to
be ever to go ahead and say that I
really don't deserve it and I really
deserve more and worse should be coming
to me and the also brings down over
there that even though a r can go ahead
and tell someone who's standing up for
them please sit don't stand up for me he
says but if they're sitting up a lot
don't you dare tell them to sit if a r
walks in and the oval goes inad and
wants to stand up don't say no no no you
could sit don't you dare say that
because you saying you should sit him
stay more in your when when you say that
then then they will have another a that
will follow that's what the over there
brings the also brings
by when a gives a to the over there it
says that there are many ways that it
happens and we know that this is from
the beginning of Brit that people die
and part of the was and it happened in
the past and it will happen in the
future and over there again steps up to
the bat and he says don't you dare say
such words you're not allowed to go
ahead and say and it will happen because
you're causing it to happen happen
you're causing it to occur once
again again brings down that when a
person says the of um of going into a of
to a shower house where back then it was
incredible dangerous you should
appreciate our showers to get a hot
shower over there you have to go ahead
and walk on top of a cauld ring fire in
order to be able to get some hot water
so over there it brings in the in the
that you say before you go in it
says something sh happens to me and he
falls into the fire you get a crack in
the floor and you fall into G over there
something happens it should be a kapar
for me says scratch that take that one
out also was a he himself was an orphan
was very he was very stringent to make
sure that you don't say any things that
are out of touch to make sure that
you're not allowed to say things which
are out of perspective the
inim as we all know we
say and there are opinions that say you
should say the the V of of a person who
La dying a person there's a special V
that one should say shalom when that
occurs to a person says don't you dare
say that he brings it right in the
beginning of and even when a person is
sitting on his bed because it's a
dangerous time and the mar States
because a time when sometimes we can
have decrees upon us a person should be
careful not to say things that are
against that can put that can be held
against you shom I one time saw a
beautiful piece
from and he wrote in the calendars that
they bring many times on at the end of
the calendar they bring the last day
of and it
says year should finish in all its
curses and we should only have a sh of
that's what it says and he told the
calendars to scratch that take that out
I'm not happy that you're putting that
inside of the calendars he said the year
didn't go by yet they're printing a
calendar the whole entire year and the
last day of the calendar they
write the year with all its should be
finished what year with clot it didn't
even have a year yet you can make that
you can say that at the end of the year
but before the year even started to
write in the calendar about this coming
year and as a result of that the
calendars took it out never say
something of a kug that comes out of
your mouth no matter what it has to do
whether it's for the good or the bad the
padash also brings in in the in the Graz
they bring that when you're threatening
a child well know person should not
threaten a child but you want to tell
them about a punishment he they speak
out very clearly over there don't
threaten them with some dog or cat is
going to bite you or if you don't listen
to me you're going to get in trouble the
monster is going to get you shouldn't
say these things because it might come
and happen it might end up coming breis
for time that it could end up happening
and it could be taken advantage of in a
very uncomfortable way now this is very
relevant to all the parot that we've
experienced in the second half of saer
over here we see the power of words that
that
gives and to the rest of the to the rest
of the and it only comes when he sees
them and he goes ahead and Spills
over with the words that he does we also
see it with a power of the dreams all
the dreams as the says only
comes after what a person decrees from
the mouth that's what happens the sorrow
Fe end up getting killed and the other
way around with the butu who got saved
sa because of the power of the mouth of
yadik but I want to bring you a couple
very interesting places where we find
this power of the mouth first of
all the says the points
out when they came and
told in last week's
part that is still
alive didn't believe him why did you
believe them Y is alive enjoy take
advantage of the fact or why can't you
believe them so says the reason is
because Yehuda said
previously Yehuda pointed out to the
king who was y he pointed out to them he
proclaimed is dead in the beginning of
and by proclaiming the
words understood finished that it must
be that Y is not going to make it it
must be that he is not around and
therefore he had certain hesitations
certain certain doubts about his
lifespan a another example the midis
brings as we all know when yov was
running away from asov so alas was on
his way the son of asov chased after him
who was the father of a Malik chased
after him and he got he caught up to Yu
he was a fast guy he was able to catch
up to him and he said this this part is
more famous he said my father said I
have to kill you and my father said
people back then I have to do what I
have to do my father said I got to do
what he has to do but the second part of
the midress is less known over there
there in the midash it brings down that
he said and my father said I have to cut
off your head and bring it to him to
prove that I actually killed you he
wants to see your head so yob told him
listen killing me take all the money and
it's as if I'm dead we know a poor
person's considered he's dead take all
my money it's dead he says but what am I
going to do about the head part I got to
go ahead and and and and give give your
head to him he said tell him on the way
that I had his head but it got eaten up
by a lion some lion came on the way was
hungry for lunch and he ended up
devouring his head and as a result of
that now it is not around
and because as asked for y's head took
care of as's head as's head got cut off
because he was beckoning for yakov's
head instead from here we learn quit
while you're ahead as they say but
anyways the idea that we learned that
happened over here that's why over here
and that's why the
saer said a beautiful that that's the
reason why yov when he went to rest put
stones around his head the most UN un
unusual thing it says over there he put
stones right out to protect himself what
if you want to protect yourself cover
your whole body with stones your whole
you're all exposed it's like an ostrich
sticking his head in the the sand well
what do help to cover yourself up with
with stones without help because he knew
that since he told alas that might tell
ASA he's going to speak out to ASA that
I had yacob's head and it by a lion he
was afraid that a lion would come and
devour his head he was afraid that it
would come
because things actually take place and
we'll finish with the last and most
becoming of all of this story this
incredible Von what a Von you will never
forget it's
a that says when ASA potifar was coming
to take advantage of ysf when the wife
of potifar wanted to go ahead and seduce
ysf to do horrible things the PK says
she grabbed him with his his
clothing and she said to him lie down
with
me and he ran away he ran away what's
this extra word lay more you only say
the word lay more when you're telling
someone to tell someone else it's enough
to
say she should tell him and she said she
should go ahead and she
said when you tell someone to tell it
says tell Moshe to go ahead and tell B
is what is this narrative that she's
telling ysf it's only the two of them in
there they were alone in the room what's
says the incredible
idea this is here he says that the idea
of was she was telling him look I know
I'm not going to get you I know you're a
bigad I know you're not going to fall
for it but at least say the words me at
least say I'll lie down with you at
least say down I'll have relations just
say the words you don't have to and then
I'll let you go just just let just say
the words because she knew the of she
knew the secret that if she got him to
say it then she'll get him halfway there
just by saying it it's almost as if
you're already you're already there the
sitra will take get the better of him
will be able to take advantage of him
and that's why it said that he actually
ran
away he didn't even say the words he ran
away before he was afraid of even having
to speak out something he was worried
that he would say the wrong thing that's
the important incredible idea of knowing
of being incredibly careful for the good
and for the bad as we know it says by
also tell us that before he went up on
the
mountain he said to and he said
tozar we're going to go DAV or come back
and it says over there because he said
we're coming back they came back he came
back with Y he didn't end up sacrificing
y because of those words so at least we
see a very important Point here for the
good and for the bad a person has to
know how to control his mouth
we are extremely careful in Kash to know
what comes in and we're very meticulous
with every type of he but sometimes we
don't speak out without a also we say
things that are out of place whether
it's n many times Abal Chua one of the
biggest problems that Abal Chua has to
be in terms of how to control his mouth
because we are raised with this horrific
idea that's known as freedom of speech
it's something that is a completely
anti- concept even though we're raised
with it in our blood it's in our DNA
freedom of speech say whatever you want
are you crazy of course you're not
allowed to say whatever you want a
person has to know before he says
something and think twice before he
spits out some horrible comments or
negativity about someone else or
negativity about yourself in the
situation because we see from here that
the more negative you are the more you
speak out negativity the more it's going
to happen and if you do the other way if
you save in you speak out and you take a
situation and you interpret it in a
positive way and you speak it out in a
positive way you're going to be good to
go it'll help you out nibble pay saying
words that are what's nible pay slander
words words that are foul language using
foul language turns you into a foul
person you yourself as one time I heard
from a brother mine who said your tongue
is being used sometimes for Tor and you
use that same tongue which is an AR KES
to go ahead and speak out foul language
doesn't make any sense in it's very hard
for people to get away from it people
love it people feel so connected like I
said it's usually one of the bigger
problems of um of Abal Chua and lastly
this all finish but in my opinion this
is my own thing take it or leave it you
can disagree I have no problem but I do
feel it has a certain emit to it a year
and a half ago we were sitting here
in a year and a half ago in this country
in AR Israel there was screams of Civil
War there were people that were prod
pouncing the streets 100,000 people
which is I want to point out is a mute
mute a small amount of people we have 8
million people in this country leave the
Arabs we about 7 and a half million to 8
million people Jews in this country and
100,000 people don't make a impression
on me at all because most of the people
were not proud of them but they were
screaming Civil War we're going to kill
we're going to go ahead if they don't do
what we say we're going to go ahead and
people were saying we're really leading
to some type of split in the country
something and the words of was literally
the words of M was coming against us
words I believe and this is my ownat and
I do believe it has to do because they
said there was civil happening gave us a
war didn't want it to be a civil war he
was protecting us from a civil
war that we should ever have a war
amongst our brothers but if you say the
word War so who gave us a war we've been
in a bitter terrible War over 2,000
people have have died of the the cream
of the crop of because of that ugly word
that we call war and it's all because
people were saying the words breed war
war war person has to know how to take
the positive light how to work it out to
be able to be careful before you say
something negative before you say words
to think twice to make sure when you're
about to say something to think about it
and just like we said you take a he when
you put something in make sure there's
a before you say something out also
