Tu b'Shvat: Why the Fall of Iran Must Precede the Rise of the Third Temple

Heat. Heat. [music] [singing] [music] [singing] >> [music and singing] [music and singing] >> So happy to all. We want to dedicate today's shir uh to all those who require a special Yeshua on this tishvat which includes all of us sitting in this calm before the storm. We are in a moment of uncertainty but we know we don't know what's going to proceed with relevant relevant to the threat of attack by United States and by by n the the b the bound in partnership of America and Israel is completely undeniable in remarkable remarkable fashion. If America is the story of the world headlines versus Iran then Israel is equally so. Why? Because the like in the 12-day war, a miraculous war in its own right, it was Israel attacking first, then America in tandem. Here the target of Iranian weapons then and now is primarily and only Israeli and American targets. The difference is it's Israeli military targets. And here it's every single city in Israel. So we are all in need of incredible divine protection right now because even if our Trump makes the decision to attack the Iranian regime which I think there's worldwide consensus that this regime has lost any shred of decency morality in other words it has violated the seven mitzv of Noah even against its own people to such an extent that the Torah and noahhide law would now invalidate ate them from any legitimacy. And that's hard to do because under noahide law, if you basically just have a government that provides law and order and does not contradict basic belief in the monotheistic god, right? Uh and doesn't officially promote theft and murder and so on, then it's it's a legitimate government. Many of the governments around the world would qualify. I don't know about the part about they wouldn't qualify under noahhide law because they first have to accept the Torah and the legitimacy of the Jewish people but at least they wouldn't be necessarily of mis because belief in mitsur of by by the nations of the world is not a simple automatic. It's much more about behavior right than than belief. They don't have ten commandments. They don't have a requirement of amuna. They just don't have requirement not to do idolatry. There's a difference. Okay? They can sit there and think all day long what they want. But if they don't perform a voter, they're not liable for anything. Okay? So therefore, but this regime has lost all its sense of legitimacy. But if Trump decides to attack and of course miladashem, his decision is not his decision. It's Hashem's decision. It's a decision that was made already on Russia mum which which nations will rise and which nations will will fall and whether it be through the boats that are in the water whether it be the age that comes from the helicopters we shall see but the same judgment goes on the Jewish people and every citizen everybody every Jew living in the land of Israel and everybody else living here are under threat. It's it's enormously incredible. But we have to really thank Hashem for the place we've been placed in the world. Number one, number one, we are Jews are on top of the world. We are central to the the existential questions that the world is asking. It's not about Iran versus America. It's Iran versus Israel and America. [laughter] It's unbelievable. Why have we been so selected? Because we are the agents of Hashem's divine agency. But here's the good news. The good news is as of today, the 15th of Shvat, we begin 60 days and perhaps longer as we'll see of unprecedented Jewish mausle and power. In other words, thank God it waited till and it could be that the whole delay of all this is mishmayim is for it to get into a propitious period of time for the mazul and of the Jewish nation which begins today. So let me explain why and also everything of course correlates to the para because the para and the as we've said so many times alma hashem created the world based on the the actual letters of the Torah and the meanings and teachings and mitzvah of the Torah formulated the bull work of the plans for creation but even even more than that as we shall see it's not only the actual creation creation what happens after creation which is what is critical and that's what we're going to discuss today the concept of the proise which differentiates Israel from the next 15th of we already said previously that according to Shvat is the masle of the Jewish people this is our birthday month but in in a month there is a most powerful day which day is the most powerful day obviously the day when the moon reaches its zenith that would be the 15th of the month. That's why so many of our moadeim are connected to the 15th of the month. Okay? You have sukus pes. All right? And you have purim which is a preamble to uh to uh pes as well. So but look at the triple three. This is what I'm referring to. Tishvat 15 of Schwab 15th Adar Purim 15th Nissan Seder night we're going from power to power in these three consecutive months. It's a 60-day window of what I would call Jewish preeminence of course predicated on chuva Torah like everything else. We have to dab in. We have to do chuva. We have to do it. Nothing is a given. We have theim but for the to come about. We are expected to do our part. This is very analogous to one of the things that we read about in this past week's para which was the man. Now man, I mean there's so much to talk about. I want to reflect back on bash and also on parro which is critical in the context of this propitious period. Was it the calm before the storm? We we're okay with the storm to start today. Hashem, we can we're telling you you can give the green light to Trump because we're assuming and we're hoping for your incredible protection. And we all know that the medish says in the alkud shimon describing the ba the final battle between Edom and Iran which ushers which ushers in the messianic era and I'll explain in a moment that what is the role of the Jewish people in that war? What do we do? And the answer is nothing. We don't do a thing. we sit here and allow them to duke it out hopefully you know uh there won't be collateral damage on us the medish does not seem to indicate it says that the Jewish people will be scared the Jewish people will be worried we are we might be sitting in shelters who knows or maybe zagon says the whole thing will be over in minutes in minutes because it'll be such a powerful attack and so overwhelming that the villagan said that this final confrontation might not even last 10 minutes or longer. Okay, 12 minutes, something along those lines. So, we don't know what to say, but if we can assume and let's hope that that medish describes us as under Hashem's protection, we don't do a thing. That's exactly what we want to do. Nothing. And nothing should happen to us. All right, that's the description of that war. Now the the the also key point of these 60 days is that they successfively set set the stage for. So think of it this way. Stage one, stage two. Stage three. But it doesn't only end there. We then proceed to what to Cabalis hat. Right. So now I would like to suggest the following that if indeed we have reached and we certainly have a propitious moment that may be a turning point that we've crossed another Rubicon uh towards the gula process as we've seen this year. What what is that next phase about? So as we've spoken about in previous years based on the v Nagon the the issue the issues of of the of the Messiah have to go through various stages and part of that is the building up of Israel of keeping trueus. Yesterday I had my brother guest from America. Shout out to my brother, the big and uh we did together the the sigula of the baba and we put aside for everybody you should know next year there'll be plenty of arch to go around uh for everyone whether you like sigulos or don't like sigulos he ended up going to for a special that's the next generation that's the fourth generation so we have four generations died in 1880 the Ravitzk who died in 19 uh 13, his brother who died in Israel who we spoke about in 19 12 and the Baba and the Babasali who passed away as we know in 1984 and now the two young leaders young lions are in Haria and is even younger than him a lot younger than him in Beerva by the way agav they are the wealthy est rabbis in Israel. Okay, so there you have it. The Abuaser family was always extremely wealthy because they um had the respect of kings of of the of the uh shiks of the Jews and the non-Jews. Tremendous amount of favor from the non-Jews and therefore they were allowed to thrive and prosper their courts and they were major mega donors of Sudaka. money arrived in much like the money went out and uh we should be to see that we pass that okay we'll have that in our pockets going forward now that we are crossed into this auspicious day of tisha so the stage that we have been in for several years and I believe it's been it's far from completed but we've seen progress is what the villain Goan describes as the return of the anche ama which means rooting out corrupt government. Hashem elim Hashem's word in Hashem's Torah is truth. When you have people of Shecher ruling the Jewish people and ruling the world, we are far from the advent of what Hashem's intention for the world is Yu Sha. The world shall be full. The road shall be shame shuoso. We're going to reach what the world would call today uh wellness or schlammut with the with the return of shaalim as the central worship point for the world and particularly the reinstatement of the ba mdash that's where we're going but it has to go in stages and this the stage that we've been in for many years I believe is to route out and root out corruption so in America for example the the peak of corruption really began in my personal opinion with the Clintons not that the Bushes were sadik and Ronald Reagan kaka he had some good he had some difficult things he went to bitber he did a few things I don't know if he was the greatest oh but he was a decent person and he had a moral backbone and that was good for America coming after Jimmy Carter which was a you the sponsor of everything evil. He fell he fell to Iran. Iran conquered him, not the other way around by taking Americans hostage. And it was the rise of Iran and Muslim Brother, you know, and of course, Muslim Brotherhood, which was representing Kamas. It was all under Jimmy Carter. But after that, it was a little push back. And then came Clinton, who's unfortunately, sadly, they may have started out decently, but they fell into an utter utter corruption being small people who they were. And now guess what? They're still being investigated to such an extent that right now this week they are in contempt of Congress for not appearing about some of the things that they've done and they may sit in jail. Can you imagine after all these years they are finally being prosecuted. Not only that, but we saw in the Biden administration the the utter ludicrous ludicrous level of corruption that Biden was under taking money from the enemies of America, China and so on and so forth. Everything that happened with his son, everything that happened with Congress's uh previous previous torment of of Trump to impeach him. All kinds of mishagas with the with the collusion the Russian collusion. This is the Hashem brought out the utter corruption of the media and the government to such an extent that America actually came around to realize we can have no faith in them. I think that was key to Trump's re-election. By the way, complete and utter no faith. But it became so comical. became like a perm spiel because Biden went down with such ridiculous you know mumbling and it was he was he was a caricature of a person and that was itself part of the busha part of the ones that Hashem was punishing the anes sheer and him pardoning his own son on the way out the door was even bigger and then the ludicrous Harris campaign a person who's not capable to teach a to teach a in in a high school, let alone run a country. She couldn't get more than salad out of her mouth. She couldn't explain a toyus with any uh sort of clarity. I don't think she could explain anything with any I don't know if she has any clarity. And yet they championed her. So this was a ludicr you understand this was a Hashem was mahatel. Hashem was making a a gala as they say in Yiddish out of them. A laughter. Okay. And of course with the very very criminal allowing of the borders of America to open up to the trained La Aua and all these murderers and criminals to really destroy America from within and they went and they gave it with their full blessing. I'll never forget Biden got up and said these people are helping build our economy and he could say it with such glib innocence which was his which was his great gift to lie with utter innocence and believable very believable. Nice guy like he could be the guy next door. Goodbye, you know, gentleman, a fine gentleman. But the corruption, the corruption and the corruption and what the damage, in incredible damage. And then Hashem in his infinite wisdom saved Trump's life, put him into power, and uh he's gone after all these people. He's gone after the dangerous criminals that came to America. He got out the Venezuelan leader who was the roimovim the the number one anti- Ben Noah personalities in the world and now okay he has Iran in his crosshairs big and this is I believe Hashem is bringing punishment to the corrupt leadership including the influenced the next even here within in Eric Israel where the powers of the secular judiciary, the powers of the attorney general, the powers of the army, the Mossad, the Shinbet have a strangle hold on anything and anything that ever happens in this country. Okay? And I'm not here to say debas it could very well be that without those caim Israel would never exist. They the one they they are the shell of protection that allowed the Jewish state to be because it certainly wasn't the people who were um you know who who weren't in those positions that were key keeping Israel alive and protected from the dangers of wars that we we don't know but at the same time have they outlived their necessity have that has that kipa which is always a means of protection for a fruit a kipa is always good in its essence because it protects the delicate fruit inside. Have we come finally to a point where the ANA within Israel are ready to emerge? We haven't had uh too much success with that um just as yet as evidenced by the draft law which was destroyed. It was a perfectly good law, the Tal law, which was written by a very very honest man 30 years ago or more, which said that we don't really want to we value Torah. We don't want people to stop learning Torah to go to the army. Let them learn Tyra and they'll they'll contribute later on when they're 26. They can learn and then after that enter the workforce and help Israel then or or do draft if that's what you feel. But you have all kinds of options. And then the Supreme Court struck it down and created chaos about 10 years ago. Was this 10 years already? I don't know how many years it was. And now the law is advancing through the kesset which is basically the tal law except with ashara that the certain amount of of of of need to enlist in the army. No, no. Okay, that might be happening anyway due to other societal factors such as not everybody can stay in yeshiva and other people want to get a head start on life and other people want to go to the army because they want to get it over with or they want to leave the country or whatever it is that they want to do. There's more and more of this happening. By the way, I hear boys yes boys who are who are making the decision to join units. Now, I'm not saying I'm not pro and I'm not against everybody to their own. Ask your Rob, ask your rabbi. I just don't think it should be I just think it should be a choice and not a coercion. That's all. It's not coercion. You should have your choice. You want to learn? Look, you want to go in, go in. You make your decision. You ask your rabbi, you ask your you make a decision based on your own. There is not one sizefit all, never was and never will be. Okay? And we must protect um the dignity. There was just a researcher himself ironically if I think his name is Tal who did a study about what could be done to solve this dispute between the army and the yeshivas. He wrote a wonderful a wonderful piece. It was just so obvious. He says make the army more Jewish. Don't teach secular values of co-mingling of the sexes as a ultimate value. Equality is the ultimate va ver you know virtue and tora having nothing to do with it. halaf having nothing to do with it. The Jewish people have nothing to do with it. What are we uh Denmark? We're not Denmark. And yet the values of the government have to it's not by default. It has to proactively create an atmosphere in which people who are shy to Torah mitzvos will not will not find themselves in in a situation which contradicts their very very basic values and that the state of Israel should not want to do that either. That's the bigger point and that's where the judicial level comes in. The state of Israel has to affirm its Jewish identity a lot more. There was a law that passed a couple of years ago. But you know this Jewish democratic democratic Jewish lafamina has far from resolved. There's no constitution. It's very unresolved and the struggle goes on. But this is the tufa in which there may be following on on the heels of what's happening in America and other places especially Iran as a matter of fact um we're entering an era in which the people should have a say and despotic ru r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r rulership should go away. That is the stage of gula that we have been in. What's the next stage of gula? It may be overlapping a little bit though. Again, we're not certainly not finished with that. We do not have a government in Israel which recognizes Jewish values as its core, right? Administering in such a way in which we can survive among all of them. I'll give you a great example. A great example. Today in Kohl I was learning about the facts that the rabbis in Bavl in Babylonia post when Israel was destroyed Nebak and B sheni was destroyed and the Romans dominated uh Israel on the other hand over in Bavl they were under the Parththeians who were like Iranians and later the Sassinid Arabs. Arabs are not Christians. They had a different philosophy towards the Jews. Sometimes benev benevolent, always touchygoy and problematic and violent. But here's what happened. While in Israel, the Christian newly uh Roman Christian Empire destroyed us and would not allow anybody to step foot in there for 500 years. for 500 years until the Arabs came and changed things in in the in the seventh century. On the other hand, the the Arabs in in Iraq, which is what really where where the greatmies and where the soul of the Jewish people resided after the themies of surah and were ruled until the 600s by Persians essentially, not per Iranians, whatever you want to call them, Persian Iranians. And then and then the the called the Parththeians and then came the Sassined dynasty and the Abisid dynasty. And guess who they allowed to rule the Jewish people? Who knows who ruled the Jewish people? Jewish people were were given indep political independence. And you know who the king was? Their king. It had to was the was known as the exalarch or what's known as re galousa. And he had to be what? From the from the descendants of King David. You follow me here? It was a government that was predicated on the malus of King David that our sec and he was a secular leader. In other words, he intersected with the with the ruling dynasty. He collected and administrated the entire government on their behalf, surrendering taxes, collecting taxes, administering law and courts according to the den of the Rala, but always in consultation with the Gonim. Now that doesn't mean that the gaonim and the rag gala never had clashes. I learned a fascinating today says that there were about laws regarding bishum that the Jews should not socialize with the non-Jews right and therefore separate themselves from them and not assimilate from them. Remember they were living in a in the midst of a goya empire. So there were two raonim being one of them and then there was this rabanim which came from Israel but the Babylonian rabbis had a ruling about roasted eggs roasted eggs is roasted eggs subject to bish akum you go into a restaurant a goyisha restaurant and order a roasted egg kosher or or not so there's an opinion and from the from the bleim that said it's perfectly kosher why because it's roasted on a Nothing is coming in. Rashi says nothing's coming into the egg. The egg is protected by its shell. So was it. So it was put into a fire. So what? So eat it. Go ahead. Whereas Rabioan uh had an opinion which was more mafmir and the rag galoosa sided. I don't know how he got the discussion, but he interfered and he he he said, "I don't want the law to be like these Babylonian rabbis. I'm going to we're going to follow the old the old dynasty, which by the way is where they're they were they derived their own power from." And there's a lot to be said about this subject based on means the dynasty will always last till till Msiah comes. these are the rulers. So there's the authority the religious government the government was always intertwined with the rabbitic leadership and listening to them interacting with them and sometimes it got hairy and sometimes the racial loos created a lot of problems and there's a lot of interesting history about that read the bookai. Bananai was um the Davidic descendant who they put into power under the uh caliphate. So after the Parththeians went off the scene and the Arabs came onto the scene, they renewed the rag galusa under a scion of the Jewish of the Davididic kingdom named Bananai. There's a beautiful novel about that from who? the famous German Jewish writer of the previous century. Gosh, help me out here. Um, not Gan I think who wrote who wrote Banai and the Lost Princess and all those books are five tales. Anyway, it's a wonderful story and it shows about that the little conflicts conflicts between Exalar and and the Gaon but point being is that it was a That's what we need. We need So, we haven't gotten there yet. We haven't gotten there yet. But now, but now comes the next phase. And the next phase that we hope this 60 days of ascendance that I'm going to describe a little bit more about and from the para too, just hang in there, is um Amalik. It is the war overt war against a malik. Now mullik it can be described as the only irredeemable part of mankind. I'll repeat that again. The only irredeemable part of mankind that must be destroyed. And in this past week's para, the the mystical and very very cryptic nature of a mole is spoken about. And let me explain. If we are indeed entering the war against the mole, that would mean that we have to target and eradicate individual leaders who are the Malik rulers of today. Now m the the one that they Maduro could be an example of that leading evil. I mean the the leaders of evil in the world there I could think of a few others. You want to add a few uh a few Asaras Ben Hammon to the screen. If you could knock out 10 Asseras Ben Hammon who would you vote for? Put your vote on the bottom and we'll tabulate. Okay. I'm sure you'd get some surprises. But if we're going to, you know, put our top 10 list, certainly the ayah has got to be way up there and he's got the right country, too. You know what I'm saying? So, he's from the right place. We shall see. But that that involves Malik is something very quizzical. Let's let's let's analyze. And we see that the the Jews were attacked by a Malik and they came when the Jews had shown a little weakness. They had complained to Mosher Rabenu several times not having water, not having food. The man arrives and then Amalik attacks and what does Moshe choose to do unlike everything that he did until this point unlike everything he did? Well, not completely because the waters of uh Masa Masa Maribba also began this process. Let me explain. Moshe does not go about this alone. He chooses Yeshua to go out and select an army people who we don't know how what the criterion of the army was. He said you take people who are inhim who are strong who are qualified to battle a moch. Not everybody's apparently qualified to battle Malik. The ones Yeshua could identify as such. We don't know what the criterion is. And it's and Moshe sits up on the mountain as described in Mosha's hands being held up in the air and if his hands go down a Malik wins and by the way his hands never went down. Don't think they ever went down. In other words, if the say if Mosha's hands had gone down then no Amalik had no turning point in this war that was in their favor. Yakos Yeshua perish is that he cut off their arms and their legs but left them alive. You know amputees can live, right? You go to the internet, you see these guys, these ampu four amputees guys with the prosthetics and they're jumping and going and they're happy and they're running and they're playing basketball. Why did he leave them alive? Why? What was the whole point here? And it was that he leave them alive because Mosha said, "I want to teach you something. It's a door. If you go out and kill all of Amalik right now, that's not the point. The point is Hashem has decreed that the evolution of his Tory in the world and the journey of Kali Israel in the world has to com has to be a companion with an eternal war on a moch till the end days. That's came out of this past week's para from the fact that Moshe made Yeshua, who's the next generation, fight them. He opened the door that other future kings would have to fight them as well. Whether it be David, whether it be Sha Hamel, whether it be uh Morai, whether it be our generations today, it's a conditioned precedent. That's a rush on Hashem. Yad al two name letter of Hashem Yud and K. And that's it. And this is what Hashem wants. Why does Hashem want the battle of Amalik? Why? Because the battle of Amalik and the eradication of evil has to be in partnership with Kal Israel and not without Israel. Right? The Melik Mashiach will lead the war against the Malik. But the war is the is the warriors of Israel have to battle. Now what's very interesting about this is that we see that Mosherenu already started this previously when there was no water for Israel. Okay. And they complained and Mosherenu says these guys are going to stone me and Hashem gave him mus don't worry now is not going to stone you. They're just very very afraid and nervous. Give them take your mate, smite the rock, out of it will flow water. Take as witnesses says kazal tell us from the zikn Israel not all 70 of them take a few as tried and trueue witnesses and go break the go break the rock because kai Israel has been worrying about this which is what brought a mo in the first place is hashemu or not that's the critical question suffic doubt that the Jewish people have about the hashkah of Hashem. Is Hashem with us or not? Did Hashem create the world and even create Cla Israel and even defeat parro and that's it or does it continue? Will it end with Mosher Rabenu? Is it only Mosher Rabenu that we can turn to? And that's what they needed a correction which is why immediately after their greatest moment the all of a sudden Sorus no water no this no that it wasn't about sorrows it was an education about hashkahus follow me hashem needed desperately for kai Israel to begin its spiritual maturity by realizing that the relationship is ongoing me door I don't want one generation and out it was never the will of hashem it was never the will of Hashem from the beginning of time that Moshe lead the Jewish people into Arch Israel but just to begin their journey and it would be completed generations later by Malach Mashiach and Mosha's return of course especially according to Ram that there'll be a Mosha Mashiach a combination between Mosha's spirit the somehow the spirit of Yoseph and somehow the spirit of of Yehuda of David and it starts in last week's para Yoshua goes out. Moshe is up above. Get it? Up above guiding the next generation in what? To believe in. And the ultimate that might explain the strange thing of if Mosha hands are up then go Israel. Mosha's hands go down then go. What does that mean? What kind of business that hoke hocus pocus hands up or hands down? We're not playing Simon says here. La Abdul. What is it? Simon says Simon says hands down. Simon says hands up. It's ridiculous. No, Mosher Rabenu was showing them if you're going to keep on a high level, right? Because that's what the Mishna says. Israel looks up at Hashem and says, "We're with you, Hashem. We're with you and I am with you. You'll be able to see my otherwise it could be upon him and upon him and a mo are synonymous it's all about that your belief your complete belief in or it's a mollik and the classic dogma that the medish gives is the father is protecting a son from vicious wolves dogs so if one one one comes in front of him he hits him with a stick. He puts his kid on his shoulders. He defend if there's no if there's no way to protect this child by keeping the child on the ground. He puts the child on his back and he fights in all directions and defeats the enemies. That's what Hashem is willing to do for us and does for us. But then the kid on the top says, "Where's my father?" Somehow the the all these threats went away, but I don't know who did it for me. I I was wondering how did that happen? Is my father with me? Is my father not with me? What does Hashem do? Medra says throws the kid on the ground and let you get bit by the dogs. That's amal. Amalik is the dog that comes to bite if we falter in our amuna. Hashem wants us to integrate and really it's said so beautifully by the mafim on the aamshhat there's a wonderful safer called which I've been referring to and I I I check it out through my shimm was a beautiful from theo and other maforims they basically say like this the whole business with Moshe breaking the rock with his rod which kazal say was snapir was made out of out of called sapphire something that could smash rocks. What is this all about? Is to make the transition from them believing only in Hashem and his miracles to miracles that happen through nature because Hashem realizes that the world is not going to run. It wasn't Hashem's will that we use the that's the it's not Hashem's will. We don't know why it wasn't Hashem's will. It's none of our business why it wasn't Hashem's will. Hashem wants to run this robe of the shilo where Israel will represent the but the world is the world Elohim and Israel have to understand this and the epitome of that was the perm story in which the nissim happened under a veil of normaly politics it looked like politics and war politics war romance you know rivalry all normal things a mazette Right. But Hashem needs to understand that I'm there. The hamelik is notes me. It starts immediately on this journey after no water. I'm going to sweeten the water for you. It's not Moshe. Moshe keeps telling them it's not you. Don't complain against me. It's like by the it's not me. And what Hashem realizes, he has to give them a complete training course. The mun is such an incredible training course. What if a person went out to collect mun later in the day and mun the mud melted? What if Hashem, what if a person went out in the middle of the night, early bird, no mud? What if a person went out and collected so much more that he believes in the concept of a 401k? A 401 mun and money are the same thing. I'm going to make a 401 mun. I'm gonna like like the surviv like the people who the wilderness people who think they're going to survive a war of uh atomic bombs they have in their cavern. They're living up in uh the Dakotas in Idaho and they're putting away food and they're salting away grizzly bear meat and they think they're going to live forever and you know so we'll put the mud in these jars and then we're going to keep them just like we saw it could be under Arum did one so we'll do it too. We're going to put away its incent and it's going to be galdic. They go in the next day. Worms. They hold it over for one extra day. It's gone. So what is the So you know what? Let me put my feet up on my couch. I'll sit here. I'll meditate. I'll learn. I'll learn whatever I'll learn, right? I'll dab into Hashem. And the man should come from Vold. You know Vold is that delivery company for food. It now we're going to call it Gald. Gavald. You're going to have a delivery service of Mun. The guy's going to come with the scooter. Knock on the door of your tent in the midbar. M delivery. How many people you got here? Six people. Yeah. Six portions of M. One, one A for each. Let's go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It doesn't work like that. It depends on where you're holding. tell us that if you were holding good with Hashem Torah mitzvah chuva yan came to the door not with a vold vehicle but you had to step outside and gather it yourself that was your hishadas that but that's how easy the can be step outside the door and it's there or if you weren't so you had to walk a little bit walk a little more walk a little more until and you had to do it quickly Because once the sun is up in a I don't know I remember when I was a little kid and first time I was learning in Israel is a bakar and by you know like in shakus is like 8:00 in yeshiva by the time we were going from the dormatory to the yeshiva that was one hot son of el. I'm telling you something it didn't take long for the sun to get very hot maybe one hour or two. So you got to move and you got to run around the whole camp and look for your portion of m that has your name on it. I know how they figured out whose was which. which there's a stylist but it's based on you. It's based on your level of hands up, hands down. And that's a lesson that Hashem says it's quit proquo. I will be with you as you'll be with me. And that leads us to an incredible insight in this week's par. Incredible. And I think this sets the tone for everything that's going on right now. Yro comes. It's an incredible thing. We learned the previous yurim how important Israel is to Moseno. Y Israel is the one that saves Mosha's life on many occasions. He's the Tquin of Cayenne. He is from a nation known as the Canaanim who of course started off in Midion, but Midyan evolves into Canaanim similar to the word Cayenne because he was associated with that first spark of evil that paale. Okay, the early proto protocin, right? and he slays hell. He's the ultimate in uh you know uh questionably redeemable not really redeemable somewhat redeemable and he we he carries over into our generation in the form of a malik and others. So Mitraim was was associated with that. The Ishitzri was a gilgal of cayenne was a gilgal of cayenne. later Korak was a gilgal of cayenne and he helped fix some of the last parts but in any case says intora last week if you recall that told Barak some say was her husband don't you know that napali and zulin are going to defeat this evil yavin melikatsour who was a huge thorn in the side of the Jewish people he was a kanani was the last of the wicked canite nations and who saves the day so he says So Barak says, "I'm not going anywhere unless Dvorah you go with me." And Dora tells him what? He says, "You just gave away your cover cuz he's going to fall to the hands of a woman." Everybody learns that it's going on Devora, right? Because she went with him. Uhhuh. It's talking about Yael, the wife of the Canaanite from the tribes from the from the Gazer of Yro. Yro's daughter, Yro's great great granddaughter, Yael, who personally destroys, the general of Y of Yavin, Ishur, by sticking the the tent plug in his head. Which tent plug? The tent plug of Amino. Stuck it in his head. Boom. Okay, follow me. It was it was Yro who kills Yro's daughter. As we mentioned Israel's daughter also included who tippa who saves Mosenu at the inn also the other the other twin of the twin as we said in medish of bis was bisha basparro right who saves Moshe from certain death in the Nile so you see Israel's been saving Mosha's life forever and ever they represent the redeemable parts of kai Israel the part of cayenne which can be saved the good in the nations of the world. But Amalik is not part of that. Cisro was part of the Amalik side. Yel and theanim part of the Malik side. I truly believe that this Ayatollah part of the Amalik side for everything that he's done from all the evil that he's done even against now his own people in such cruel not that he hasn't been doing it all along for 47 years you didn't know about it because they weren't that threatened they took him out one at a time now they had to take them out thousands and thousands of a time so we learned from from the haporra that there is this inion of Yro powerful force to to negate the evil of the world of kind to help the Jewish people do that. Now you want a Tina that Israel had Jewish grandchildren, right? Who else has Jewish grandchildren? Well, let's not go there. Is Trump the Gilgal of Cayenne? You know the negative amolic part which is being redeemed could be because he's trying to attack. He's trying to do what he's supposed to do in tandem with the Jewish people. This is the proposed partnership of you go on your journey and I'll be there for you. Is this what's going on? If that's the case, we've already entered the stage. Okay. I still think we got a lot of the anch to put into place first. I don't think you can go to the Amalik stage unless you know what's MSN Sheckcher. So that's the stage that we're still in. Jeffrey Epstein is a big part of that. By the way, Nebuff Nebuff, but always through a Jew, what's his thing? He's going to show and expose who the real evil people were. Whoever was doing whatever they did with him, they're going to face the music. And they are facing the music, including the Clintons. Okay, but in any case, let's go back to Israel for a second. Yes. Israel arrives by Mosher Raenu in this week's para and he's it says Israel is titilated according to his skin stands up goose pimples you know that he defeated and defeated parro now goes on to say the following extremely cryptic thing. He says after all you've told me which according to means and all those things three things again meaning the battle against the malik and the is what drew as I'll tell us he says the following thing and this is the message. He says, "I now know coming from his place of original evil, he served every single in creation." He says, "I know Elohim because I tried them all." Said, "I know them all. I tried Bal and Moch and all these human sacrifices. I did them all. But now I know." What does that mean? I know God is the greatest God because of what the Egyptians tried to do to you, boomeranged against them. I'll tell us they threw the babies into the sea. They tried to kill baby Moshe. He had thrown into this water and now they are judged by okay that that does covers. But where do we see that in and where I like to suggest the following and and so for others explain Israel's com comment in this way he saw the inion of mida kg mida what is midg if you look at if you look what kazal tell us about the punishment of the Egyptian mitzim she brings midrash each mitz was punished according to his level of cruelty The ones who were more cruel died a slower death in the amsuf. The ones who were a little bit more compassionate died a quick death in the amsu. It was it was such a that's what Israel was focusing on. He says I see that guess what unlike all the other religions where it's like what does God have to do with me? I gotta bring him a carbon and maybe this despotic force of whatever it might be will do a favor for me because I'm doing a favor for them. That's what every avoar in the world is manipulation of forces to bring them under your control. That's not what Yahadus teaches. Hashem says, "We're a loving father, but when it comes to teaching and and and relationships, Hashem wants a relationship that's quidd proquo. I'm not giving away the store for nothing." Hashem says, "I don't want you to have lemisufa," which by the way is a humongous issue today in terms of parenting for our generation and previous generations. Give the kids everything that they want even if they don't deserve anything. I saw I found a book written from don't be afraid to discipline that today. If you try to bring that into a public school library, you will be arrested. And it's gone to such an extent, you know, with the grooming of the kids to say that they're girls when they're boys and boys when they're girls cuz what right do you have to give any guidance whatsoever? There's no authority. Yours has no authority. Authority doesn't exist. Hashem says no. Hashem says, "As you will treat me, I will treat you." Meaning, I want you to be responsible. I want you to make the choices so I can reward you. This is not about giving way. They started what they started to do in like little league and all these things. My kids played organized sports in Israel. I want to tell you something, it was fantastic experience for them. Fantastic. I mean, you couldn't play real football in America with helmets and the whole thing. My son did. You couldn't play real little league baseball against you know secular kids we kid but the yeshiva boys do here it's an amazing thing so so they would give out any kid who comes no matter how how sad his athletic um uh performance was they give him a gold medal everybody gets a gold medal you win you lose you get everything not here so much but in America with the little league oh you came you get a gold medal You showed up. Oh, you didn't train. You didn't try. You didn't learn. You didn't hustle. You didn't work. But here's your gold medal. Hashem is against that. That's called. We don't believe in that. There's no integrity in that. It's Sheckchim. She wants ems. You work for something, I'll reward you. You need help, I'll help you. I'll tell you a personal v vignette. So, my son, we'll close we'll close with with one more thing. My son um Ellie Mel I'm very proud of goes to a because he's very athletic. He goes to a special program by an esteemed uh institute called Windgate which is the highest level. They have a program for boys to learn how various in sport like personal training coaching all kinds of things. And he goes to this program and it's all in Hebrew and he has anash to go to an academic program that's all in Hebrew. Let me tell you coming out of Ramad. It's a miracle he can speak Hebrew at all. You know, and he says that uh I don't know if I passed this last test. He goes, I don't think so. Well, what can you do? There's a makeup. When's the makeup? In two weeks. So as the helicopter parents that that I am and that we not should not be IT I write a email to the to the to Sari from Kosher Gate and I say to her, "Oi maybe needs to take the retest. When's the retest? How can we help him? Can we get him test in English?" And she writes me back an email basically saying, "Shut up. He passed." Okay, enough with helicoptering. Let the kid do it. He can do it and he's doing it. We're so proud of him. But today, so Israel learned the most inc crazy and most incredible thing that if you want to do evil in the world, Hashem will repay you with evil. If you want to do good in the world, Hashem will repay you with good. And it's practice to the nth degree. And this is the challenge of being a Jew. That means that everything that's happening right now in our world is incredible. Believe it. It's not random. And it's not up to Donald Trump. A lot of it is up to us. And if we can take our our stride and learn the from this so I'm just going to add I have to add this thing an incredible word from love incredible he says the following he says which is our month and is remember the from we say he says we're all trees It starts today. It starts today. Our judgment, how good a tree we're going to be, is based on the sap is now flowing. What are we going to do with this new opportunity to show invigorated Torah living? You going to take it? You going to do something with it? In 60 days, we'll find out. Today, you're supposed to dive in for a beautiful. So, we're going way beyond firm. We're thinking already about the time of the of the suka which is the mishkashem which is the this is the zone to bishvat till the first day of sukus this is our zone and even if there are blips along the way we have tremendous opportunity starting today the saps are rising but hashem wants something he wants us to dive in for a beautiful es that's the in so many circles dive for a Es why because this is when it's all getting Ezra was taken from Grenaden an incredible thing he says the gates of Jerusalem it says in fell he says there are certain people certain inspiring teachers throughout our ages our great our mus figures our rebas or anybody who your rebi whoever inspires you Right? They help grow you as a tree into the beautiful plant that deserves to be planted where in Shahlay. In the gates of Jerusalem that have fallen. They can raise up the gates of Jerusalem. This is what we're seeing. The final stage of redemption is the rising of the gates of Jerusalem. Which is why I believe I'll make a sad right here. The fall of Iran is the the fall of Iran is pre is a precondition for the building of the Bash. And there's a big connection between melik paras sending us back to build by cheni. You follow me? When that evil regime turns into another kesh which is what they say they want to be the permission to make you shalim to have the gates of the bish begin to rise out of the ground will happen. That's what's at stake here. So much more to say, but we must stop in honor of our people, not to be Matri, but to say that this is a great great opportunity to um to get the saps flowing again and to start fresh. Nothing in your life that has happened till now will determine your future. That's the lesson of the Jewish people. That's our masle is complete. You have to have that. Your past is irrelevant. Even your future is irrelevant. What's important now is to begin again a new rabbi in particular emphasized this point and through his sending people like tikun kali how to say to him in such a way that you can get out of your doldrums and and your sins and leave them behind you and start again because he because this is the lesson of Israel eternal life because Hashem will continue to give us those opportunities and he is eternal life and if we don't believe that then the hands of Moshe have fallen for us and then we're subject to the dangers of malik So, let's get out of that. The sap rises, the hands rise, is Hashem. This should be an incredible 60-day journey. And hopefully between now and the time we take our esrog, we will see many Amalachites hanging from the trees and and the mal taking root in the world. Okay. Have a wonderful. Don't forget to eat fruit. Make a d for your be well. Heat. Heat. [music] [singing] [music and singing] My [music] [singing] sh [music] [singing]
