this 850 days that we have been waiting
to be able to see closure on 252
hostages that were taken after that
dreadful day that happened two and two
and a half years ago. It brings a
certain amount of closure at this point.
Ron Gilei was an incredible person. I'm
sure that many people have heard about
his miserious nefes. He was scheduled
for surgery the next day. His shoulder
was broken and he still got up in order
to be able to rescue his friends. He
told his parents who are trying to hold
him back. They told him, "I cannot leave
my friends alone and I will go grip them
and save them with everything I have."
Even in the crav
busy fighting, he actually got shot once
or twice and he still kept going. He was
not willing to give up. There are many
videos as maybe some have seen of having
many Arabs around him. Many of these
Rashim
around him that were dead as a result of
him. He saved over a hundred Jews
because of his mess nephesh
and that's why he uh and then eventually
he was taken as we know as hostage while
he was still alive but died to his
wounds. It was an incredible message of
a person who gave it for nephesh who ran
to the forefront. And because of that,
the
decided to leave him last in order that
everyone should speak about him and his
heroism and bow down and you know and
acquies to this incredible msira neph
for for the man of Kalisrael. All of
Israel are speaking about him right now
because he gave of himself for Israel.
That is what we are about. We care about
each individual person whether alive and
even after they pass away. And that's
why we see how much we were doing and
how much everybody's doing. Even for
someone that's passed away, I know
someone that was in the middle of Aza.
And he saw with all these Arabs that
were fighting shouldertosh shoulder. The
second one of his friends got shot. They
would take his gun away if they needed.
They would take some type of clothing
that he had. They would basically strip
him of his body and they didn't even
mind his using him as a human shield in
the meantime for bullets that were
flying around. There was no respect for
any dead bodies that were around at all
because they understood that it's
nothing more than a carcass as opposed
to a yid as opposed to a Jew. Even when
he's dead, even when he's died, it's
like the gil of a safer. The gil is the
parchment of a safer. No coincidence
that his name is Ran Gilli. Ranilli
because it is a representation that even
someone's body it is very precious to
us. One of the that we make
that we make in Birkon is made because
of a special that was done for the Harug
B. Those that were in betar that were
not z to get buried for a good almost a
decade and as a result of certain things
happening they were z to and we made a
whole of a toive a just to get buried.
No one's alive. They're all dead. But to
be able to be buried in Kev is deserved
a special we every time
just to show you the importance of being
to be able to get a ke to be able to get
a body which is aim
even when the nama is not inside of it.
It itself is precious. And therefore it
is so important to make sure that he
found his way to aver and all of Israel
is behind him because he was behind all
of Israel because of his incredible ns
that he did for everyone. And I just
want to close with one important message
that here we are in no coincidence this
occurred in parashik.
The idea of Shira is a
when I received when after the after the
fact when things are over says
and on the
both say when the Yeshua is over when
you see the salvation when you come to
close sort of speak a circuit when
you're making a little bit of closure so
that is a time to sing Shira now yes we
have many people that are suffering many
uh losses or family losses unfortunately
from the war that is behind us. But at
the same time, this finale of taking out
all the hostages out of Aza and this
goes back from 2011 because they had a
couple hostages even from back then that
were also removed. Removing all of them
and having them all on the side of
Israel brings us to a place of closure.
When closure comes, we might say,
but we also sing Shira. The idea of
Shira is the idea of completion in order
to move to the next step to elevate
ourselves to graduate and move to the
next step. These are the words of Rafim
Kame Ryakov Kamki.
Kamki says that every one of the 10
shirat came when we finished the when we
finished a step and we were moving to
the next step when we have the sh of
the midbar
that is a stage of saying we finish
we're out of Egypt we're moving to the
new stage of the midbar when we sing the
sh of we finish the midbar we're moving
into Israel the shir of dvara says is
the completion of conquering Erit Israel
and the And now we are now living
in Erit Israel. The Shira of David Melik
at the end of is a completion of a
certain phase that we now move on to the
time of the Beta Mikdash in we will now
have a temple to be that we abide to.
This is all the idea of Shira. And
therefore maybe it's appropriate to a
certain extent to realize we have come
to a certain closure. It nothing's over
until it's over. But we are now ready
for the next step. It is time to let out
a prayer to say I'm going to make a
cabala. I'm going to make a difference.
We have graduated from a step something
that will never be forgotten in the
annals of Israel in the annals of
Judaism when it's passed us in these
past 2 and 1/2 years. But what we do see
is that we have now moved to a next
step. The step that we are calling and
yearning for Msiah to come because we
have come to the end. We have come to
the place where the word Shira is a
circle. Yes, we went to a full circle.
We moved up a level. Up a level. This is
behind us. We've gotten to the stage
that now is the time to ask
just to say that even though he's
waiting, we're still waiting for Msiah.
Just like those people when they were
walking into the gas chambers.
They didn't sing about they didn't dive
in that I should get a straight oneway
ticket to because that's about
individuals. When we sing about
Mashiach, we sing about the cl. We sing
about everybody in because we are what
we represented and what we mentioned by
going
giving up his life for the sake of
everybody else. He was far away from the
south. He didn't need to go into the
into the crowd, but he did it because he
cared. And therefore when we sing the
praises of we're not only singing about
ourselves we're singing about Mashiach
to be Yeshua for the whole entire
Amen.
