we're continuing in the State Fair
of the safer Yeshua is outlining for us
the two categories of people
that will be in the end of days and how
both of them contribute to the coming of
mashiach
how do we reconcile the sumanum found in
parashas nitsovim that we're going to do
chuva with the simanim found in the
gemara and saitan and Sanhedrin about
the very low madrega of the class on the
end of days and the time says they're
both true
that those Jews Who Remain steadfast to
the Torah despite
the mockery and the scorn of
the other Jews and despite the lack of
observance of the rest of
that will be
getting here your boy that will be uh on
a very uh that will be
a situation where
um that will definitely bring the
mashiach much closer now
you're able to hear
yeah so
um
yesterday described that those Jews
who in order to ensure that their
children
remain true to the Torah except upon
themselves a life of poverty and they
don't travel to uh to
communities away from where the yeshivas
are and they give up of their livelihood
and their ability to earn a living in
order to allow their children to go to
yeshivas says in his eyes this is this
we could say not only in his eyes he
says
that is considered complete chuva that
was the principle
um
that we learned yesterday that sacrifice
for the Jewish Education of one's
children
is considered complete teshuva let's
let's proceed in the CP solution
likewise
the children
the princes
that Hashem calls upon
meaning the the
small minority of the youth that call
out to Hashem
that they dedicate night and day to the
Torah
um
and they literally blackened their faces
in the uh deprivation of their of their
food
only to cling to the Torah to
mitzvahsam that is their only
yearning and desire
by the way how can we not help but think
you know many people ask you know what
is this phenomenon today there's so many
uh people who are sitting and learning
we never had this in our history you
know it used to be in Europe so they
would have a few eluium who would be a
brilliant students were groomed to be
future
but the vast majority went to work what
is this phenomenon that we're seeing
today of wholesale learning of the youth
and how could you not help
by reading the words where he talks
about the wholesale
um forsaking of Judaism of the youth in
the pre-war times
maybe the way the revengetham has
that somehow that a tick on for what
took place before the war maybe a tick
on for what took place in the times
so the wholesale defecting from the the
world of Torah and Mitzvahs so now we
have a Tikka and now the youth is almost
um alpiroiv that is the general Derek
today of uh the the Youth of claudiusra
perhaps somehow this is a tick on for
previous generations but be it as it may
the youth the youth
that despite deprivation
at a time that they find many
interferers and many people who mock
themes
they strengthen themselves to stand on
their guards the holy watch the Torah in
the learning
and these select few
to them whatever it says in the Hamish
and the words
it's all sancted Sanctified to them it's
all holy to them
such people rise to a very high level at
such a Time
so at a time when the majority scorns
mocks
looks down upon
those Jews Who Remain steadfast to the
Torah those who do remain stefest their
madrego Rises very high now look what he
says Israel
and similarly
the children the Youth of class Israel
says who experienced the difficulty at
the time of
and in their travails
Hashem they strengthen themselves to
preserve the religion of ultimate all
their ability
and they act upon themselves they work
upon themselves
to live with
bread of deprivation and oppressed water
for actually of a piglet
the times are says
that the only way to avoid eating tarfus
is
basically to curtail one's eating to
bread and water
and these youth are starving they're
famished they're dehydrated not for a
day not for two days for years and years
of his mansion
and at a time that their souls are
starving would smell and thirsting by
ayefa and tired
they don't do this for a day or two
for days and years
we know in the in the early 20th century
in the times of World War One
the poverty was overwhelming
the deprivation was all-consuming
and in all their poverty and affliction
they do not Rebel Allah
their soul melts within them
because of their
in their mind in their self-perceived
View
they are lacking into our knowledge um
that they don't have the wherewithal to
perform properly because of lack of
resources
to observe Torah at a time of of such
distress and deprivation is that not
considered complete chuva
you know we read this and we sort of
wonder what does this have to do with
because this is not the reality today
the reality is there's a very strong
and eminent
young movement of binetara that we never
had before in our history
never before in our history did we have
tens of thousands of avrich him and
Benet Torah dedicated to Lima young of
Allah the only thing is
describes
in in complete honesty are not the
conditions today
maybe in Earth Israel you have some
bahrim who they're experiencing poverty
but the overwhelming majority of
binetara today
they're eating Frosted Flakes for
breakfast or Fruity Pebbles and they're
going to the pizza store and they have
kalamine matamim for every suda during
the day
and they are not living a life of
deprivation and even binetara let's say
kylo younger light
who are subsisting on a modest salary
they are still living in relative
Comfort compared to the conditions
speaks about
so then what does this whole argument
become obsolete because nowadays we live
in a land in a country of great Bounty
and resource and comfort and convenience
and I would humbly maintain that the
argument is as strong as ever
because in our times we have our own
challenges
and all the Swarm teach us that the
challenge of
ashiros
and taiva
is a harder Challenge and the challenge
of anios and even though nobody says
that nobody would when I say nobody
would say that we think no you know I'll
take the challenge of wealth any day
but all the Safra Israel are unanimous
that the challenge of wealth is a much
greater challenge
and the taiva that a bentira has to give
up
is nothing short than an akeda today
and this is not don't take my word for
it
rubinovich writes in his forum that what
we ask
a young man to do today
to give up the hanois of the street
and the hanois that are available are a
lot more grandiose than what was
available in radin and in Warsaw and in
Budapest in the year 1920 and 1930. it's
giving up a lot and it's very glamorous
and is very alluring and it's very
drawing and it's very enticing and when
we ask a young man to do
when his Pat at an age that his passions
are flaring we ask him to sit
that's and that's nothing short of an
arcade
and you could possibly make the case
because maybe at first glance it would
sound far-fetched that a challenge of of
young
uh Jewish people today is more
challenging than a 1920 but it might
sound like that to you because you never
really paid attention and learned
what the Swarm tell us when I say svarum
it's I use the terminology because this
is literally found in dozens and dozens
of sources the challenge of ashiros when
I say ashiros it just it doesn't just
mean money the challenge of bounty of
mayasa
is a much greater challenge than the
challenge of anios
I'll give you one example
in his Russia is Kyle Bene Levy writes
that
for um he brings that by speaking horror
then you could have sarasana bias and
you might like Rashi brings you'll find
a treasure in the house and you'll
become wealthy and he explains that when
a person before a person had money and
they passed the challenge of poverty so
then they're ready for a greater
challenge the challenge of wealth and in
that case every argument makes in terms
of the difficulty of for those who
remain steadfast with her because again
the reality is Benet Tyra are not
deprived and binetara are not mocked in
2023 maybe from the outside world maybe
from the secular world but it's not
something that a bentura lives with on a
practical level sure it was in the
beginning of the 20th century Bentar
would walk out on the street he would
feel scorned embarrassed shamed he would
feel like a schlemazel not so today
but even so today giving up
is a greater challenge even than what
the khabasim is talking about and by the
way if I may add
this is one of the reasons that we
maintain why it is more likely for
mashiach to come in our time than in
earlier Generations if I may uh the
Ariza would always tell this is
how lofty his nashama is how great his
soul is what do you mean I don't even
come close to those of the lowest in the
earlier generations and that reason says
God does not judge a person based on
their level but in the context of the
generation that they live in says the
Ari in earlier Generations
in our times
is out of control therefore says
in the eyes of Hashem you are much much
greater than earlier Generations
and therefore we could say
that if in the 16th century in svas that
Rizal said that the out of control
what would that reason say if he walked
through the streets of Manhattan today
what would he say about the satoma
he couldn't he wouldn't even be able to
imagine such a thing if the forces of
impurity were out of control and svas
Israel with any of that bread to eat
imagine what the eight Sahara is like
today and if in such a generation vital
because it comes the time we're out of
control was greater than in earlier
Generations than a band Tyra today in
the eyes of shamayim might be more
valuable
foreign
and he says we don't like to talk about
this too much because we don't want
people to feel arrogant he writes this
in the safer Das Torah
he says it could be you could have a
young man
studying the words of a reshine
and the young man could breaking his
teeth to understand what the reason is
saying
but because of the difficulty of the
times he's living in in shamayim he is
more valued even
than the than the reason who wrote those
words
says we don't like to talk about this
too much
but that's the truth we have no idea
what one single Mitzvah in our
generation is worth
we're going to elaborate upon this
tomorrow with the Marshall of rabba
Valley Yosef I wish everyone a wonderful
day
