Mashiach: Birth Pangs of Exile / Yishmael (Part 4 of 4)

All right, we are on the last part of this four-part series that has to do with the of Mashiach. As in the first part, we spoke about the idea of see Yeshua is waiting for Mashiach, understanding what's behind it in a very under in a very in-depth way. That's the first one we spoke about. Of course, Mashiah Ben Yosesef, which is fundamental. The last shar number three we spoke about the third beta mikdash how it's going to fall down and what we can learn from him take it for ourselves and we can't finish we decide to add one more she because we can't finish without speaking about one of the most fundamental and that's known as mashiach the birth payings of msiah here we are inquash we're at the time at the end as we are familiar with and this time we know it's really the end especially worked out mathematically but besides that with all the signs that are around us the birth pains Msiah I want to see a how we can relate to it and b you should know it connects a lot to pes here we are before pes it's a very pes also because of course we know that tells us that nissan nigaloo on nissan we were in the past we were nal we were redeemed and so to in the future we will be redeemed during the time of pes so it's a very apppropo subject to speak about during this month during this time of pes time in between and things so I just want to get a good idea Mashiach. Of course, many shum will speak about the difficulties in this. That's not my direction. I want to try to see how we can relate and what we're supposed to do. Here we are standing at the at the birth pains of Msiah. How do we understand it? Now, first of all, I'll just give a quick introduction to the idea of Mashia. That's based on a garra in Sanhedrin that says very unusual garra that actually says that the actually said that we wanted to come please bring I don't want to watch it I don't want to be there very strange statement the reason they don't want to see it because they were afraid about how painful it was going to be they said if we're around during this time period it's going to be a little bit scary a little bit dangerous and they said we want to watch out for these isim from these types of birth pains that we're going to go through. So apparently it's a inevitable fact an inevitable mitsut that it will exist which like again we want to explain how put it together in our time and time in mo time. Okay, that's uh that's that that's a b as we all know the and and others but especially and they would compare based on based on they would compare many times the birth pains of Msiah or to the to the happens by a woman when she's giving birth as we're very familiar with that when a woman gives birth it's not the most comfortable of positions. All right, we're kind of familiar. She knows better than we do. But we can pretend that we know what we're talking about and we say, "Yeah, we feel bad for you." "Yeah, yeah, we understand, right?" It didn't didn't bother me. Yeah. Even when she was cursing you out, it didn't bother you. Didn't bother you. Anyways, so at the time when a woman is giving birth, as we know, there is what we call the birth pains that happens. And it's very interesting because it happens in slow but uh methodical uh system that happens. It happens a little bit and gets harder and worse and worse and worse and worse and similar to that as we can well understand the writes in evacu also also will give birth meaning there will also be birth pains and it's inevitable. It's a beautiful thing. We love to have a child. It's bringing new life to the world. It's the reason why we're here. It's creation. It's it's causing new phenomenons but it doesn't come for free. It comes at an expense of sometimes having to go through a little bit of a s of a little bit of a pain. The adds another factor that we find sometimes we go through very difficult scenarios like what happened let's say during the holocaust and then afterwards you get like a kind of quiet still for a little while. You have a little bit of peace or quiet for a number of years until it comes back again. I don't have to start tell you about October 7th but even before that we've had a number of pretty heavy things during the times here in 1972 73 sorry and other scenarios that happens but if you peer the history of our galuts it's always like that we have some really heavy hits Spanish inquisitions and then you have like and then you have like quiet for a certain period of time until it happens this is exactly what happens by a woman who's giving birth also She has those heavy tim heavy contractions and then boom, it's quiet. Everything's relaxed. You can walk around. It seems like everything's good to go. And then boom, it happens again. It happens again. That's exactly the similarity to what we're referring to when we talk about the idea of the galut. Okay? and the birth pains of Msiah is um a that's in it says during a time of it is nine words in that nine words we're going to be reading about the nine months that a woman gives birth and of course when eventually she gives birth even after the contractions the time of lea itself is hard it's heavy it's not easy not easy don't even want to say that right it's It's it's it's serious pain and it's it's a time at the actual but it's quick and fast and it goes and then it's a feeling of of exhilaration. It's a feeling of just absolute, you know, relaxation, of comfort, of just fantastic. I've done it. I'm over. It's gone. Right. That I'm speaking to a bunch of men here, so you guys don't know what I'm talking about. Neither do I. You understand? I'm sure you've heard it from your wives at least. Right. Yeah. Right. Okay. So, I appreciate hopefully some women are watching the camera. But anyways, that type of feeling of of of like, oh, post, we done it. We did it. We did. It wasn't easy, but it happens nice and quick. The actual delivery, I'm saying the actual when the baby's coming out, it happens fast, but it's extremely uh painful. And that is the same idea of the time of Msiach, what's going to u what's going to happen during that time period about how not easy it's going to be. And like we said, it's PES time. So it always easily connects to everything already tell us that the way the gula happened by overlaps very much with the gula that's going to happen and one of them is of course we know the work got doubled before we got out when came he saidim he doubled up the slavery he made us work we gave up we were in y we couldn't even handle it anymore we were just you know we couldn't handle it was just too much for us and the darkness was so heavy that that was the point when the light was starting to beacon Andy is is the darkest part of the night. It's the darkest part of the night, but it's really the beginning of that's right before comes to the fruition. And as we know, we've spoken about this idea in many places. I don't want to go so much into it, but we know when a seed decomposes, when a larae from a pupa is going ahead and decomposing, we know that's the beginning of beauty that's coming to become exposed. It's the birth of a tree. It's the birth of a butterfly. That's where the beginning starts. So even when it looks like the worst is happening, when a woman's giving birth, if you didn't know what was going on, you'd say, "It's all over this is a bad scenario. I don't know what's going to be next. It looks like it's it's it's the she's not going to make it." And then suddenly, boom, we have two lives here that that are around. You understand? That's the beauty of the idea of the mash. A lot of sirens here, but I'll mention one mushel to this idea just to get an expression. Like I said, this is not going to be overly my focus, this nikuda. I feel other people have spoken about it, the idea of Mashia to that extent, but uh my son went to um when he was a couple years ago, he told me when he you went from Yam. It's a heavy hike that a lot of boys like to do. They go from the river to the sea. From the river to the sea, they want to be mimik, right? If they already if everyone's advertising that from the river to the sea, they want to make sure they do it. So they travel from uh it's easier to go apparently from the yama to go to the kiner. They go from the yama yama and they go to the yamak for good grubby guys who can move fast. They can make it within 3 days by if not it could take up to a week for one of us. Okay, that's basically a thing. Anyways, so my strong my son more than a week in a car. I forgot dimensions by foot, right? Never forget to mention by foot, right? Anyways, so he said they were going, they did about two and a half days and they were on their third day and they really wanted to get to the kar before nightfall and they didn't have so much. They were a little bit short on supplies and they wanted to already get to the kar and see other people and be there and that's whatever and just already get there and they were short a little bit on water also but you know he's he's a real trooper. He didn't have such a problem with it. He said they were going here, trying here, and they were pushing and pushing. They kept going and they said, "It's over. It's not going to happen." They saw a bridge, like there was a bridge going over their heads. They said, "We'll just go underneath the bridge and we'll just, you know, call it a night or whatever and wait till the next day." So, they went underneath the bridge and they saw there were some bushes, like a dense amount of bushes beyond the bridge. So, they, you know, went through the bushes a little bit to see what was beyond there. And right when they finished going through the bushes, they found their legs in the water of the canerit. Like they didn't even realize they were close there. And they not only like saw the caner. They were in the canerit. They bushes were growing in the caner. Like they didn't realize they were on the canary just very much here. And suddenly they're in the canary. He's like, "Wow." And he said his friend sent to him at the time. He said, "Oh, this is what Mashiah is going to be like." Exactly. Said, "You're going to be going and thinking and trying. We want to get there. It's almost there. It's almost there. Everyone's going to keep saying we're equal. We're almost there. We're almost there. We're almost there." And until you're going to get to a stage and go, it's ready for again. Let's just almost throwing in the towel and suddenly, oh, you're in the you're in the canal. You're in the Mashiah. Mashia is here. Oh, he was here. Whoa, I didn't realize you you're the he was here all the time. You wouldn't even realize that's a scenario. That's a little bit of the idea of we've been going through the saying this that this that and then suddenly boom, we found ourselves. That's where that's where we're supposed to be and that's where we are. That's really the idea of the the mash which comes with Mashia. Very interesting phenomenon I saw before we move to part two. This was just the introduction what I said to an interesting phenomenon. First of all in Hebrew the word masher is a is a depression. We use the word maj when a person's going through a crisis. Uh yeah a crisis or a depression right? They're both when he's in a heavy depression like almost a clinical depression. It's called a mashb when you're going through mar. You understand? That's what that's what a mashbar is. It's interesting because as we all know mashar is the same word that's used for a woman who's who's yoshva mash bear. She's sitting on the birth stool. That's the expression in English right on the birth stool. She's giving she's sitting on the thing with expression. What's a mash go the right when a woman's giving birth. It's called that she's albe she she's al it's incredible the overlap why they overlap because they not because women are depressed I mean there's such a thing as postpartum but it's more the idea of that overlaps when you go through all this sus and this it's not easy yes you're sitting on the bed you're going through a crisis you're going through a difficult time but it's leading toem the future that you're going to see you're going to hold a baby listen to a bigger thing no one knows this in this room watch this one I would have brought the symbol but I can't even copy copy these symbols. The Chinese symbols are just impied by these people can write all these symbols. But the same Chinese symbol which has a squiggly here and a squiggly there and a couple dashes and things and a couple dots just in case you were wondering. The same Chinese symbol that is for a um for a maj for for something uh depression or being down is the same exact Chinese symbol for what we call a damn an opportunity. opportunity is the same word the same symbol one symbol as it is for a mash very interesting in the Chinese the Chinese language because they understand the some people say the Chinese are one of the tenim they have their sages and they go and they follow they have things it's all t together it's all t together you know but anyways they have uh the idea behind it is that opportunity knocks dapka in the place with the maj bear exists da the place where it seems everything's bleak that's really in a nutshell the idea of what we call mashia of course we could expand on this extra with a tremendous amount of information that's not so much where I want to go I want to more speak about which I feel we should all be able to relate to when we're speaking about nowadays that we're in and that is a little bit to say what's the point what's the reason why hashem had to work it out with this mahala that Mashiach has to come with Mashiach. Was it an absolute necessity that it had to be done with such a process? Couldn't we just like skip to the point like you all just want to skip to the end like get to the finish line? Like why do I have to go through the whole task of going out and going through the rat race and going through the difficulties in order to get there? What what what is what is the meaning behind such a thing? We had our chance. We ate the created that. We ate from Yeah. Okay. He's saying we already messed it up by he said or there's an idea of beta if you do chuva before but you're right. Okay. I apologize on the camera. I'm not feeling so well. So that's why the past couple sh not been perfectly intact. So I want to read to you a couple pieces that I think will make us a relate to the scenario that we're in and also relate to what Mashiah is about. And like I said, this is our last year discussing the subject. So I felt to want to give a good understanding behind it. Maybe eventually we'll also get to the gullet specifically of gullet because it all connects to what we're speaking about. I'm going to read to you from the safer. I'm going to start with the safer or the great who came out with they came out from his speeches but they came out with which unfortunately people don't know about. They really should be doing it before over here. But anyways, in um the ink and he says a very incredible thing. I want to read it to you. He says something that bothered him. This is a great rash. Yeah. He says it bothered him. He said, "My head has been on something back and forth for many many years. Bothered me." And he Ku speaks this out his thoughts of something he was trying to figure out for many for for quite a while. And he says like this basically there are two kim two groups of people here in Israel. Very clearly we know there's two very I'll I say extreme groups of course are people everything every extreme has something in the middle a little bit not always by Jews but anyways we have almost two extreme groups which we could speak out more or less. There are some that are say we are witness right now to what we call we are the beginning of the gula. We are seeing the heralding of msiachem. We have conquered our land the great Israel which used to be a barren land which is all 100% true. We know that it became a land which was barren for 2,000 years. And here it is suddenly it became ours. We're living on the land that we've cherished so long to be able to be part of as we've spoken about in previous sh when we spoke about Israel. Uh speaking about Israel once upon a time was like I'm now speaking about Msiah. When we speak about Msiah and we're like wow we can't wait. That's what they spoke about Israel. No question. It was like the dream. It was like the future. It was like everything you were looking for and waiting for. It was something people would just take the dirt of someone who walked in and put inside their soup. That's the put rights writes in one place. They go to just be able to taste a little bit of it. It was something that was to be able to live here was something very special. And here we are able to live here comfortably. Can I am I allowed to say that? Right. You're able to say and able to live here somewhat and and able to to to be here protected. We have tremendous amount of people learning here as himself made. We have people here learning the amount of people that we have right now learning in qual is not since the first beta mikdash we didn't have so many people learning in kim and this how many people being shaky on we had everybody 99% of Jews were religious and connected and everything like that but you know to have people learning full-time to this amount of people was you know it's off off the books something that's unrecognized to to Jewish history kimat like I said for the past 2500 years and uh something extra phenomenal. We went through a terrible terrible holocaust including this far by the way this farm also suffered a lot by it and um there were many events that we went by and from there we had something that was absolutely miraculous to have that the nations were as of hates they hate us all the time and p wow they went ahead and signed a declaration to say that we're allowed to take the land what juke got into their head What made them think about it? They they were they were about it 5 minutes later they made they realized made a mistake afterwards. It was like the pen was writing itself the amount that happened. Okay, there are some people that'll try to explain it historically or whatever Dwight Eisenhower or whatever it is, but uh the fact that that happened was an absolute miracle and I don't have enough to go and speak out to everyone knows the wars that we went through and the the war of independence was a bigger miracle than probably uh I'm not going to say Kus Yamsu but it was pretty big. It was like it was a pretty big miracle. The chances of winning such a war was close to nil. Anyways, so having said all that, we can understand there's one very strong side that we we're seeing the birth pegs of Mashiach after the shawah. Hashem gave us a present that we call Israel and he put us here and it's something to appreciate. Yes. However, there's another cut. There's the other side of the rainbow as we're familiar with and that is that there are other and I'm speaking I I I'm expanding on whatabash but I'm more or less saying the thoughts of right now there are other which feel that we are in the biggest galut we've ever been for before it's the biggest exile we've been for before because at least in the other exiles we were in galut by the at least they were putting us down they were trying to get rid of us you have the yanim trying to get rid of our thing you Ham and you have you have all the Germans trying to kill us but we've gone through these galot but at least it was a but here we have Jews people from within us people that are going ahead and doing everything they can to go ahead and and rid Jews of Judaism to try to annihilate everything they can of any type of of uh of any means or connection to the h if you don't mind me saying to the old the old past and that was their whole perspective of everything that we're doing. And don't play denial. We all know I'm I'm saying the good facts and the bad facts. Anyone who wants to play denial is playing a game because these are all documented events about stealing babies and trying to them up. And we know the tman themselves know everything that happened over there. The preferred goat is available for a nude who wants it. The preferred if that's a preferred go to go out. You mean go out the city? Yeah. Go out the city. Back to the loop. Uhhuh. Okay. Yeah, I heard I have a joke that I want to say. I'm not sure if it's appropriate. You look at the camera. You'll tell me if I can say this. Anyways, there was people having a vik when they're getting they're going out in so the Ashkanazi boy was saying everybody wants me. I'm an Ashkanazi. I'm always looking to try to I'm always trying to be or whatever. And the said, what do you mean? For us it's also by the also so we also have certain reasons why people would prefer us and we don't ask as much money you guys crazy people do you ask they were having tani come don't always have the best of it they said you guys are all crazy we're just bored and they were grabbing us and kidnapping us they were trying to get rid of us they right when we were born they were grabbing us thing anyways it's documented information I don't have to go through all this and the fact is a fact I'm not giving my opinion at all about the whole matter. I'm just mentioning that that's the other side. They feel that here we are in a place where we are inh. But at the same time, they stand up courts like the bagats who are Jewish people surprisingly and they go with complete laws that are anti-Jewish. Nothing to do with Judaism. Everything that they do is like they said by Rama to go against uh to go against and try to try to get rid of anything that has to do with um religion sort of sort of to speak. Okay, so this was the suffoc he says like this. Where do we ever find this of or I'm quoting now that from that it bothered him it like eaked him it it it upset him this mixture like I understand this I understand that like the whole mixture of of black and white and the mixture of of good which I say I was going to say good and bad. Is that okay say good or bad or right and left or this whole mixture of having such extremes that are happening within our place here onesh he said until I found a vagon the vagon it's also in parakef brings down that and this was written 350 years ago there's something that's going to be called the galut kil a certain type of harbings of the galut the beginning of the galut which is going to a light galut or a mixed galutvia of galut. He says similar to also by mitim and again we're coming to pes so this is very connected just like by mitim we find we didn't make it out in 2 minutes it took over a year of bondage of extra bondage that we were there for an extra year till all the makot went through till the and everything that happened during that time period we have a gumar rashashana that says also when the gula will happen it will take periods of time rashashana will be when it will be declared and in and during a sh is when we'll get together as one will be in and pes will be the time when we'll hear about the gula and will have a bin is like the beta mikdash the goes through different periods of time that'll happen it's not going to happen in chick in one second it's going to be slowly built like we see in front of us the buildings that are being built in front of us so he said oh I felt good about this cuz I started realizing yes we are in the galuta we're in the gul meaning we are in the process of the gula but it's like the slow methodical process that happens um in a way that will eventually get there. what he calls the air of Aula, the pakita, the yaka, the we're in the we're in like yum shishi we're on like Friday which is right before Friday is mash we're getting close to Shabbat and everything's a big mishmash everything is there's a little bit of this a little bit of that extreme of this extreme of that everything goes until we finally get to the final day until we'll be able to get to that status where everyone will realize when the whole ocean will fill up. What does it mean that the ocean will fill up? The world ocean will fill up with like we see an ocean we see just absolutely blankets the it blankets the the bed of the of the ocean is blanketed by water. So too everyone will have a clear and absolute understanding that will reach a stage and here we are slowly getting to that stages and I think we see we see that the phenomenon of the extremists almost kind of imploding they're kind of slowly disappearing they're dissipating because what happens is that when people realize the extremes that they're going to they start realizing what's sheer The sheer is becoming so blatant, so black and white, so clear that it automatically implodes. It automatically disappears and automatically we will start realizing. So this is the phenomenon that we are going through something to look at the big picture and appreciate it and know and be happy with the fact that I'm one piece in this beautiful puzzle. You understand? and I'm going and being part of this puzzle that is unfolding itself to realizing and yes it seems confusing and it's hard and it's not so easy but here I want to tell you an incredible which I'm going to expand on which I think brings out this idea and this is a very something I remember all the time in my head and I think it's something we should always remember during the time of the holiday and this brings out I'm bringing up now this this the main thing I want to get out with what we're talking Mashiach and this idea of the Mash and what we're getting to during the Holocaust as we all know it wasn't easy people suffered and it wasn't so there are many countless countless stories I'll tell you one right now of people singing when they were walking to the gas chambers the anim they were going to the gas chambers and they were singing anime all the while and they didn't let loose one of the famous more famous stories is a story on the train to Trebinka. The train to Trebinka, but nobody came back. Trebinka was just about as bad as Awitz. Just not as popular as popular, but not as much as Alz was around longer. Trebinka was finished in a year, but one year a million people. A million people. Think about the number million. It's like not normal amount of people. And uh but Awitz got close to 2 million because it was around longer. Anyways, on the train to toinka there was they were all sitting on the train and they knew their fate where they were headed towards. I forgot the name of the person but it was a famous singer at the time or like a person who was a man person who made songs who was sitting on the train and he was listening to the rattling of the um of the train to chut right we're all familiar with that uh sound which I even you know I was in the Holocaust but sometimes when I just see the pictures I hear the songs like I I have a picture on my phone that has a picture of train tracks like going across and my daughter likes to always put different scenes I say you Don't put that one. I don't let her put that one on my phone. Only that one I don't like. You put on you put on different sceneries. The one with the train tracks going I don't like cuz it has a certain like bad association. And I my parents weren't there. Yeah. Anyway, so this sound of the choo choo choo choo choo choo. That's when he was the famous song and he started singing it when he was singing when he was sitting over there on the train and he composed this. It sounds almost like the train. It's a famous a famous there's different tunes and that's what he composed and the whole train the whole car that was singing it they were all singing it together at that time when they were on their way to the thing when they finished singing or getting the getting the whole uh song when they finished it together he said I will give a of and he died inem he ended up getting burnt in the in the in uh in over there he said I would give a to someone who was willing to risk his life and get this to the rebi he wanted him to get to the bub of a rebi he wanted him to get this song to the rebi so he would know it so that people could remember you know have a res you know a remembrance a memory from what happened at the stage two people jumped out the window two people squeezed themselves out of the window the skinnier people that were able to squeeze out the window and they jumped out the window to roll out one person got shot and as we know the Germans were standing on top of the cars One person got shot and since they were focused on that person, the other guy was able to roll down under the tree and he was able to hide underneath there until nightfall. He ended up being a partisan. This guy who ran away, he ended up being a partisan for um a couple years until he was able to uh you know escape escape Poland. He was able to get back to uh he was able to leave. He was able to get and he got back to America. kitser to make a long story short he went and he taught the reb this uh the song and he told him the whole story that I'm telling you now and he told they say right very soon after that it was in 1945 it was the first kipper right after the shawah right after the the shaw the rav stood up in front of the shul in front of everyone he was ready to give a dasha and he didn't say one word of a dasha he didn't give any dasha he stood up and he started singing he just started singing that until the whole show was together. He didn't get anything. Apparently afterwards he told them the whole entire story about what happened. But that was the that's that's what happened. This was the theme if you see all the time in the holocaust. They always saying nanim. And I heard once a from Weinberg of Yakovber from that said that asked a very simple question something I didn't really think about until I heard it but I think it's a very stronger. He said why were they busy singing about Msiah? You would think at a time when they're going and they're about to be burnt. They're about to be guest ones. That is the time to start talking about the greatness of ABA, the next world maybe they should speak about something on a something imminent. They're about to be going to why aren't they discussing what's going to be there? Start singing about the next world and understanding that we believe that there's an Allahaba and you you know I have two worlds. You have one world and I'm in a much better place than you. What was the focus so much on Msiah? So listen to his answer and this is really the theme of everything I was basically coming to get to. He basically says because these people realized that the Holocaust wasn't something localized to me as an individual from my personal pain and sorrow and sar that I am that I am going through. Then I would go ahead and sing about my and I'm going to be okay because I know I'm going to a better place. Bar is going to take care of me. He's going to put me in the place that I need to be. That would be a focus a little bit more on me and seeing the picture of the Holocaust is a sar an anguish of what I am going through. But that wasn't how they felt about this picture. They saw themselves as a piece of a very intricate puzzle. They saw themselves as a piece as a stepping stone to a very tall ladder. They saw themselves getting them getting themselves to a place that's much greater than thou to a place that's beyond my own personal selfish if I could say interests to go beyond myself and to start realizing and thinking about all of Israel as a whole. Here I am a function that is leading to that Mashiah is on his way that this is all a very important piece that Mashiach is coming. I realize that I'm getting this is all a part of a plan that is coming from to get us to a place that's going to reach the world to perfection. I'm going to use a double word. You tell me if it's off the to do that, but if you don't mind me saying they realized that they were the final solution, not Hitler's final solution, Baraku's final solution. That's my own pon words. Is that okay to say that? Is that all right? In other words, they knew that Baraku said this is the finale. You are running the finish line. You're playing the game of what I wanted to build this world to get to a certain place and yes I have to put you through a certain SAR but when you go through such a sar you end up coming to a recognition that I'm part of a big machine I'm part of something greater than myself I take myself out of the selfish box that we grow up as we are I take myself out of my own personal interests and forget about my haba right now don't think about my own individual team I'm going to be Okay, I know it's that I never want to place any of us including myself. I wouldn't be able to handle myself. even to say such a thing. But I'm just saying to take myself out of the box of focusing on my own personal and start focusing on the big box of Israel of about what was going through and the fact that we are there to be able to be savior to Israel and that is really why they were always singing the putting a lot more meaning than their just individual selves. I think it's a very true answer of no it'sinberg's brother of Yakovber was the rashiva in Baltimore who said that idea and I'm going to take a story also which overlaps from this by a certain person which I think we might be familiar with and this quoting him sometimes bothers me because this person Lamisa Lamisa was a non he was a he was a frier yid he was not a religious yid but lisa he was spot on with his psychology and His name is Victor Franco. We are familiar, right? The search for meaning, right? And he was very popular. And he's very utilized in Jewish literature. It irritates me a little bit because if you read a little bit, he was married to um he was married to a Jew when he went into the Holocaust. He got killed and he remarried he ended up marrying a non-Jewish. So, it bothers me a little bit that after everything he went through, but his his hoskaf was in the right place. He just as I said channeled it wrong in the right place. But it's known that his yod and this is what he did in the camps as he as he pens himself in his book was much to give people an idea of meaning of something more than yourself which is really the talking about right now he used to go around in the camps and say and ask them so how is what you're going through right now imagine hearing this in awitz right how is what you're going through right now going to affect you after the war how will it affect you with your family and your parnasa and when you start doing that can you are you serious like they they want to spin his face and you're telling me these people could be gassed or dropped dead in 5 minutes from from from uh from lack of food and drink and you're talking to me how is all this going to affect my future when I you know become free and by time I have children or I have another job or wherever I decide to live and all that stuff. It was very um uh almost irritating to hear such things and he would go around kind of appealing to people these questions and the answer is because as he claims and he's is correct like I said with this with this idea is that sometimes you have to take a trauma and instead of focusing on the past and you have to know how to do it or else you can ruin the person instead but using it to be manif to be able to be as a as a uh as a catalyst for the future. You have to take a trauma and being able to use it as a stepping stone to how I can do that to improve myself to improve other people to see how this can improve the whole entire scenario to remove yourself real I have to redeem myself. I take myself out of a place of bondage and redeem myself from those traumas that I myself personally went through. Not by harping on them and carping on them and complaining about them and crying over them on a constant basis. You excuse it. You're allowed to do it. I'm not saying not to. But that's not the ideal where you're headed. The ideal nud of where it's headed is to a place where I can make it greater than thou to make myself bigger than myself. Like these people that they saying, they realize that I'm part of a of a building block of getting to Msiah to getting something that's that's beyond my own personal interests and my own personal and anguish. Like I said, we should never know such anguish. But that's something that we learn from the from the Holocaust and something that we're able to learn from what the meaning is of Mashiach. When we talk about Mashiach and the pains that we go through by Mashiach, it's to get ourselves if I could say out of our selfish selves and start setting our priorities straight. When a person is going through a difficult time, suddenly priorities some start coming into perspective. He stops thinking about money all the time. Do I have to really have those extra hours in the in the office? He starts setting perspectives. How did you know am I really running my life the way it is? When he lo gets a diagnosis from the doctor, he reassesses his whole life, his whole situation. Am I doing things correctly? Is it really correct my mid to the way I act in the house or ask my friends? The guy's thinking, "Wow, I might not be here tomorrow because the doctor just told me I have, you know, x didn't say that. The doctor just said a diagnosis where the person might have x amount of days. You understand? So if such a person is living such a scenario, he's not going to start getting frustrated at anyone. His irritations are going to be on low. He's going to try to be as friendly as possible. He's going to realize that maybe I should be going to the midash and spending my spending his last days doing something a little bit more fundamental than what I'm wasting my life about. You understand? When a person goes through the when he goes through the difficult times, he starts thinking broader. He starts thinking in the he starts thinking of he starts thinking of purpose you know he starts getting out of his own individual selfish box and he thinks about if I could say even the he goes even beyond his own self and that's why we've seen herculean abilities during the time of the holocaust which there is no bigger and there should ever be any any other more than that one that that was the probably that was probably the biggest of the biggest that like the lea the birth before we came into Israel but um but and you saw the incredible things that they were able to do and that's where it comes from that's that that power to be able to do it with this I want to quote to you another or I'm going to quote to you another which is a midrum which is unusual midrash and he says it and I probably wouldn't have quoted it but it fits so perfect to what I'm saying now you'll be able to relate to what he's saying over here okay basically it says like Yes, again we're going into PES and we know on the seventh day of PES we sing we sing together the praises of the says something very unusual when we saying we sang it to hem and we didn't sing it to a person. Can you figure that out? Can you tell me pushup shot what that means? They sang the toe and not to a person. Duh. I mean, if there's one thing I wouldn't be praising anybody about, it's the clear miracle. I'm obviously singing the praises to not. So, he quotes the he quotes which said going to take an answer, but it's so simple when you hear it. It's so obvious. And I'll start with a mush cuz if I just say the answer, you won't appreciate it. I'm going to not a mush but a real story from right now our day and age. It should it shouldn't happen to us. But you know they do this these these uh these villains these ruthless uh sat satanic people like to play psychological warfare as we're all familiar. And uh as they are choked more and more, they try to make us suffer as much as we can, at least psychologically. And recently, and they've done it a number of times, they let out another video of someone who is in uh who's being held hostage for the past year and a half or so. And you know, I I didn't see the whole to you. I don't really get to I don't have so much access to all these things. But more or less he was pleading with his brother who was uh released and pleading with his parents to say you know how much I'm suffering here. Please let me out. The man was as skinny as a toothpick. He looks horrible. Tears in his eyes. He's begging his parents and his brother to please do anything you can to get me out of here. He's sitting in a dark tunnel. wretched, probably barely having any oxygen to go. Surrounded by a bunch of mug with machine guns that can flip a that can pull a trigger any any second. He has no life and it's a very difficult and treacherous life. You see that video and I'm not sure who to feel worse for, him or his father or his mother. Who do you feel worse for when you see such a video like that? Maybe his brother who was there next to him and now not there anymore. I'm not sure where the where's more painful. I mean, he's not very comfortable. I understand he's going through it. But his father is like standing on his head and going upside down and and going musha to It's one thing if you know that he's not and you don't know, but he sees he's alive. He sees he's there and it's just like just please like it's just it's it's extremely extremely painful type of experience. It's it's more painful than if you already knew he's dead. At least you know at least you know, okay, game's over. At least you know something's there. At least there is some closure to to see such a thing. And these jerks know exactly what they're doing. And that's why they do it because they want to put people in as much and ages as they can because that's their mitzvah that they hold as a big mitzvah to do such stupidity. Anyways, so that's um that's what they do. What do we see from here? that when a person is seeing their child going through such a thing the ages and like I said they're still alive you know you're alive and you just just do it just get out just do anything so yes like I said it's a shik am I saying they should sacrifice everything to let him out that's not it's not for now right and that's why we're in a very big pickle obviously as we understand but the the the ages the pain to put a father or a parent to go through all of that and and and goes through that. That is, if you don't mind me saying so, what a kush is going through. That's what a kushbar is going through. He sees us in a in a kamas tunnel. He sees us in the galut. He sees the priorities are all upside down right now. He sees that we're he's losing his children by the minute. How many how much intermarriage is going on? And how many people are going off? How many young teenagers are just not making it? How many people are suffering from what they're suffering from? and and and is not happy with it. He's suffering from such a scenario. No less than that father watching his son in Aza. No less and if I could say even more sed because as we all know is saying just do it. I know what you're supposed to do. Just do it. Just get to the other side. Just finish. I want to get the gula. The mashia is here. He's waiting. I just need you guys to do what you need to do in order to get there. And he's waiting just like anybody else. And therefore I'm pointing out that real real real understanding of Mashiach, like I said, gets you out of the box. An immun getting to mashia, realizing we're part of a big picture. Appreciating that we're all getting there. And I'm I'm I'm a I'm a clog in a in a big picture that's getting us to a big better place in the world, but realizing also himself is suffering from such a thing because he also wants to be there. It's very hard for him to see us in a place that he doesn't want us to be. And that's what is what does it mean? They said for you, we care about you. We sing for you, Hashem. We sing the praises. We We're so happy that we were able to be. They were beyond. They weren't talking about themselves. They weren't singing. We're so happy. I'm free. I'm free. Yay. No more. I'm happy for you, not for me. Do you hear such levels? I'm not saying we're going to be on such levels, but I'm just saying where what we're supposed to get to. At least that's what the idea of is to get out of our minds, to get out of our own selfish box. It's not only about when I can get better and my will be better or things will be better for me or things will be quiet or there won't be any more sar in the world. It's it's a little bit more better than that. It's it's beyond that. It's that we'll be in a world of perfection. Everyone will realize will realize the oneness of the perfection of the world will be clear. It will be rained. It will have perfect vision and we won't have this obstacle in front of us that we call Mashiach. You understand? We'll already have the Msiah by us. And that's really the idea here. The turbulence that we go through before Msiah comes is to get us to think bigger bright. It's it's it's like to think a little bit out of the box, a little bit bigger about about how I, you know, how I'm helping eventually to get to a certain place. I'm so happy that I could be a piece in this puzzle to be a little bit more out of myself. And that's really the deriva. People always say, okay, if we do chuva, mashia will come. But you see, the deriva is what? To stop being focused only on me, myself, and I. To start being focused on what I could do for someone else to get out of the box and be a little bit more focused on the outside. Ideally speaking, if we're at higher levels to speak about what can I do for what can I do to make my my happy or the fact that you know I'm doing something good is makes him happy. Like that that type of focus is the ideal to be able to get there. If you follow I'm saying I I people just say you know make Hashem happy. It's a little bit too out of the box for me. on purpose I'm trying to make it that we feel what I'm talking about that that the focus goes to something bigger than bigger than dao outside of myself to go out to help kisel help the world to be able to get to its mat hashem built this world in order to get to a certain place it's been 50 57 5700 years already it's been a long time he's waiting for it to get there please hashem let's get there what do I have to do tell me the next step and the answer is that you have to go ahead and pull yourself out of your own individual box and I'll finish with this and this is I'll I'll end even though this could take a long time. I'm going to do it in a in a quick nutshell. And that is why the last galut from all the galot we know there are four galot known as the four kayot. There's four animals which Denil saw in his uh in his dream and those are connected the four exiles which we had to go through as we know with Persia and Rome and Bau but there's one final one which is not mentioned in Denil but the moral and everybody mentions it and that is Galut Ishmael gut Ishmael why isn't it mentioned says the moral because Ishmael had a little bit more than the other four the other four compared to they're compared to animals and opposed to Yeshal actually gets the name Adam. He's a parad. Now you would say if anyone's an animal it's those guys are the real animals. You're wondering why is that? So the answer is says the moral because everybody else counteres all the other were negative. They were erasing Hashem's existence trying to you understand as opposed to he goes with it. He totally believes in one hem. He's the first galut that we went through that believes in a one god. He's the monotheism believes in the same god kab that we believe in. They warp to the religion but he still is still there and that's why he has the name in his name who listens to the name and that's what it says the brings in therefore his going to be harder than all the other ones. because because we're going to scream big screams and is going to be listen to us as a result of our screams. But because of their connection that causes problems. So we sit here and we wonder, you can't be serious. You're going to call these people people. Is that really what it's about? So the answer is like this. And this we're like I said, we're coming to a close here. They took the aid of hem and this is exactly what I was speaking about before you'll you'll see they took the mida of believing in hem and warped it. It's all about myself. Meaning I take religion as an excuse. The religion is tel. It's notar. It's secondary. It's not the the main part of it. The religion is there to make me find meaning in the decisions that I myself want to do. I myself want to kill someone. I myself want to rape women. I shouldn't say I the person wants to go ahead and rape women. The person wants to go ahead and do horrific things and they steal like from Gansville. They steal from here till tomorrow and it's all for religious reasons. Everything they steal their mimo and and they they could be worth sale. They killed their own people. Here they are. You few people made protests over here in Aza. They're knocking them all off. You sure it's all all quiet on the Western Front right now. There's no no protests over there in Aza right now. Beautiful. Oh wow. Hush hush. I guess they agree with Kamas right now. They're knocking them off. They knocked already six of them they got killed and hanged hanged publicly in front of everybody. Okay, no more protest. Anyways, so that they they completely take as they say the law in their own hands. But all in the name of religion meaning the difference between us and them is by them religion is there as an excuse to do what I want. By us we take religion to to uh to humble our own needs in order to be what a wants. You follow? That's the whole difference of everything. Both proclaim religion, but not that I do whatever I want. We do it not because I want to do whatever I want. We do it because if if tells me to do this, then I will humble my desires, which is what I told you before. When the real way to bring Msiah is think out of the box. Go out of your comfort zone. Not everything I want I should deserve to get. Sometimes I should be focused a little bit more on someone ya on someone outside of myself. be a little bit more comforting to my spouse instead even if it comes at my own personal expense or be helping out someone else even though it's not so comfortable. I have to get up and help them or take out stuck or whatever it is or doing what's needed in order to help someone else. You have to go out of your box. And then that's really the idea of the counter the exact counter opposite of this galut that we're referring to is gal which we said is you follow I was saying is going through turbulence hard times in order for us to start getting our priorities straight to think straight and to stop thinking selfish to start thinking of people outside of me to start getting things even if I have to leave my comfort zone to do what's right I do what's right and that is exactly what this galut that we refer to as is which is completely the galut of an idea of taking a kureshu at my whim. I one time was driving Rabbi Kellerman or Le Kellerman familiar with him. This goes back almost two decades ago. It was a while ago. He gave some shirum over here in Kuk over here in Beameish and I drove him a couple times back and one time and this was during you know when it was during the time of the um I I drove him mish the week I think after the subaru uh the subaru explosion over there which was the subaru which was one of the worst of of all of them and and you know they were describing this this person who did it as you know really you know whatever they were describing the Arab who did it anyways so I was asking the car I was like what's with these guys like if if they were if this is really what's in the Quran and this is what they're being told what to do and this is what it is. So what's going to be in their like what's going to be the next section? I was kind of off almost I was still pretty fresh off the press and um and I was asking what's going to be with it you know like he kind of was doing it quote unquote to say but he was doing it because he felt that was the right thing to do and everything like that and he told me why did I ask him by the way I asked him because he's a man who went to every single religion. Yeah, he he bounced around a lot. He went to Christianity, to Islam, Buddhism. He knows every religion. Balpe, okay, that's that's his Amomano. You can read his books. I mean, he's he's a buck and every religion. He said everything they're saying is absolute hogwash. It's nowhere in the Quran that has to do with saying like that. And I know afterwards I looked into it also that what they're doing is completely off the books. It's not written there at all. And it's not even brainwash. If they really wanted to, they would look a little bit into it and figure it out. Why are we so uh as Jews, right? We don't just take everything. We also learn. We ask questions. The whole idea is to ask questions to figure it out to see what the thing is. How does it get to the conclusions and why and how there's always a question type thing if they if a person really cared to know the a they would have figured it out. They would have figured out the a is not with them at all. They would have known that what they're doing especially to do such an out ofthe-box thing something so exorbitant. It musta it comes from a place of their own interest to be able to do that makes them feel better. Of course, they're promised their 70 pulot. They get their 70 virgins. Of course, it's all about my personal typhus. It's all about my personal desires. When a person goes ahead and he can kill himself because he knows what's in store for him. It's it's what I spoke out before. It's all about me. I said in the Holocaust, they didn't talk about the mahaba. They spoke about the big picture of Msiah. The ishelm are busy with me. They're busy with how what I can get out of this. It's how much they're just thinking about again this this picture of stupidity that they have what they're going to get up above and uh and that's what happens. The Kutzkar had a beautiful line. He says it's he says it's nishkin it's not a it's not a big deal to die on your to go ahead and die. That's not the that's a one second event that happens in that's not it's a big thing but it's not the biggest thing. the the what a kuni said is to live ones day to day yahara to yahara stumbling block to stumbling block event by event to be able to go ahead and do that that's that's the thing and that's the idea the difference between us and them that we go ahead and we live by keshm we don't believe in dying on kesm they just warped their uh they warp to their priorities and that's why the famous says where the son basically finished that's why they're called peradam peradam ideally speaking in Hebrew Brew, you always are supposed to speak out the noun and then afterwards the adjective. You say, you say, you say the boy who is quick. First is a noun and then the adjective. Or you go, you speak about the person and that he's wise. You speak about doagi. Do is his name and then adi what he was from Edo. You understand that type of that type of idea? You're supposed to go ahead and and speak it out. And here so really the real syntax should be Adam per he was a person who is a perah he's a person who's a wild I say what it is right a parah means wild with no in inhibitions right no inhibitions really means a donkey for the the other word for a donkey if you understand right but anyway so that's that's what he's a wild is written parad he says no because perah is the noun he is a parrot he is that the noun what he is is the parah he's in the formation of anom. He has the form, the cluster, the appearance of an Adam. That's the adjective. The Adam, the human chabo is the adjective. The essence, the formation of what he really is, the noun, that's the per that's the part of being wild, not being not having any regulations, not being limited, not being told what to do, not having anybody who putting any type of limitations. And that's why in the words of the he says you could put a suit on him and the anchoot and the people who are very into ethics what's a good word for culture for culture for culture the culture people will come and they'll come and give him you know cultural lessons they'll take him to university and I'm quoting words from the 1910s before any major things and he said even even uh they they'll put they'll be they could teach him to be a lawyer or a doctor, but he'll still be a per the will not stop. You can't take him out of what he is because that still is the mits. And he said, he says he he himself wrote he wrote these words. He says, "What's going to be what's going to be in the end of days when these when they're going to be taken by?" And he said like this is what he's going to do. This is a prediction from 120 years ago. Pretty impressive. Come on. He says, "I'm worried about what these people are going to end up doing to us in the time when we're at our end." So, we see this idea, the conclusion that yes, of the Msiah. It's not comfortable. It's leading us to a certain place where it's supposed to take us out of our box, out of ourselves into thinking about other people, thinking about Msiah or thinking about where we're aiming to get to a bigger picture, trying to fulfill the desires that we're supposed to be doing, trying to make the changes in ourselves that will help other people even if it makes us uncomfortable. And that will conquer really what stands for, which is basically about the much more than the other. S comeat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Honey, [Music] honey, baby. Yeah.
