sure you've all seen that every young baby has a very deep and natural connection with their parents yes whenever my baby brother starts crying as soon as my mother or father pick him up he stops crying how does a baby have such a deep and natural connection to their parents good question since we come from our parents our body naturally knows that our parents brought us into this world gave us life and they will take care of us yes is that why we were naturally drawn to our mother and father yes well said do you know who our father is exactly exactly every year has a deep and natural connection to the re because he is our spiritual father what makes father great question because ourish comes from the Reb's you see the Reb has a very special Nish it's called aish clawless a Nish that includes in it all the nas of every it does that mean the AR is part of the re Nama yes so just like our bodies feels like it's life comes from our parents our n feels like it's life comes from the rib very well set and that's why every yid has a very deep and natural connection to the re excellent you really get it this is why a RAB is called a Nasi does anyone know what a Nasi stands for exactly the word Nasi stands for nitu the N is a spark of Yu's and just like Yu was the father of all 12 of all the B and they all came from him the same is true with the rabber our Nasi has a Nish clawless that includes in it all the nishas of Cl now let's listen to the re and hear how he explains this let's say now and sing one of the re oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I [Applause] wow that was beautiful and now another name fori is re does anyone here know what does the word Reba stand for well done the word Reba stands for B is the head of the B what's so special about the head great question let's take a look at this video to understand the brain is an extremely complex system that controls the vital functions of the body the brain is divided into lobes that control different functions including emotion Behavior memory formation and bodily functions the spinal cord begins at the brain stem and continues down the spine the spinal cord consists of nerves that carry messages between the brain and the rest of the the body the nerve cells or neurons transmit the messages to the body as electrical impulses as you just saw all the other limbs would not be able to do anything walk talk or even have life without the brain in the head and the re is called the head of the Jewish people because the body the Jewish people and everything in the world get their life from Hashem through the re let's listen to the rebba explaining this [Music] so for we'll say again and sing another one of the re for [Music] [Applause] came came back for [Music] [Applause] come all [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] my great [Applause] I've been thinking why do we need a reab isn't Hashem the creator of the world doesn't Hashem give us life what a tremendous question we learned that everything in the world is created with hashem's words and it's those words that are keeping everything alive if Hashem would not keep saying those words then there'll be nothing so if Hashem is creating everything why does it need to go through the reer why can't we get our life directly from hasem and the last festar General mandal lber from Orum of Buffalo is also a to Niagara Falls and we got to go on a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls and we had this very discussion let's see what happened [Music] bar I my separation it's so awesome to watch from up [Music] here do you know that there are 750,000 gallons of water falling down every second that's incredible menal and do you know that when the water comes crushing down with so much energy it creates electricity for almost 4 million homes even our electricity and Crites come from here that's cool but how do we get electricity from the energy in the water great question I can't plug my phone into Niagara Falls to get electricity from the energy in the water we need a special machine look mle over there you see the power station over there they have a huge machine it's called a turbine and that machine takes the energy out of the water and turns it into electricity it was awesome to see the powerful energy in the Falls but can we plug our devices directly into the waterfalls no exactly we need that turbine machine that can take the energy out and give it to us in a way that we can plug into it and the same is true with hashem's energy everything is hashem's energy but in order for us to be able to get that energy from Hashem it needs to First go through a spiritual turbine the is from the Rea hashem's energy goes to everything in this world to help us understand this we have asked for Ley BookIt to share a story that he heard directly on the person who it happened with this story is a story I heard from a general in the Israeli Army and would like to share with you the story as he told it to me during the yam kipa War I was in charge of a battalion of 150 soldiers in one of the battles we were ambushed it was a devastating blow 32 soldiers lost their lives and many others were injured as a general I felt responsible not just for the soldiers but also for their families their parents their wives their children and siblings I visited with the families trying to ease their pain but the grief was so deep and the more I tried the more the suffering and pain weighed on me a few months after the war the US government requested a meeting in Washington with some high ranking ceset members and a select few generals myself included this was to be a highly classified secretive meeting a few days before we were met to leave is Isel I receive a surprise call my good friend mnik he suggested that since I'm going to America I should make a stop over in New York to visit the and discuss with him my depression and personal pains and suffering till today I do not know how much my good friend AB schma knew about this highly secretive classified meeting I agreed to meet the re and ab made all the arrangements with the re's office after I finished my business in Washington I broke away from the group and traveled to New York to ground Heights and was immediately ushered into the Reb's room I spent an hour and a half with the re I was truly amazed how the rebel was aware of the most innermost secrets of the army things that only a few select high ranking officers were privy to at the end of the conversation I got very personal with the Le and spoke about my own internal issues that tormented me I told the Reba about my Battalion of 100 50 soldiers and how we lost 32 in one swift Ambush and about the many who were injured and are still recuperating in the hospital the never listen carefully that have strengthened me encouraged me with words of compassion and kindness Together We Cried throughout the entire meeting the Le con referred to the soldiers who died Asen exalted holy shamas then the dev said something surprising it wasn't 32 soldiers but rather it was 34 I responded to the re that I know better since I deal with the soldiers and their families on a daily basis with all the respect I continued it was 32 and not 34 as you say Reba the Reber did not flinch with great pain and heartfelt words he repeated once again unfortunately it is 34 to be honest by the end of the meeting with the Reba much of my pain and suffering was relieved however I could not understand why the insisted about the number of soldiers when I as a general living in Israel would surely know better when I returned to Israel I was shocked to hear the sad news that two more soldiers who were in the hospital had succumbed to their wounds I now realize that the Le indeed was correct the total number was 34 and not 32 a few months later the same group of high ranking officers and Generals were once again summoned to Washington for a continuation of the previous meeting this time I did not wait for ABA to call me I immediately called him and requested that he arrange for a second meeting with the Leber this time I was very anxious to meet the Le once again following the meeting in Washington I headed to New York for a schedule Yas with the Le the meeting continued where the last one had left off with many new facts and updates of the Israeli Army's Internal Affairs again the Le cried with me and showed me the greatest love and compassion that ever sh with me with his blessings and prayers for a long and healthy life as theas was coming to a close I asked the question which had been bothering me for a while thereby he said I must apologize to you for my disagreement about the number of soldiers who died indeed you were right it wasn't 32 as I said but rather 34 as you said I then answer the Leber but how how Leber did you no this Leber began tapping on his desk with his index finger while saying the following every Nama that enters this world and every Nish shama that passes on from this world passes through this very room that is how I know wow thank you R booket this story really helps us understand how everything comes from hashem's energy but before it comes to us it first goes through the Reber but does that mean that we can't exist without a rebba why because if all hashem's energy goes through the then we need a Reb to get that energy that's correct and that's why the Reb is called aad the sadic who is the foundation of the world because all of hashem's energy that comes into this world goes through him and when mashia comes everyone will see that all of hashem's life force comes through the n and everyone will be bottled in do you know who that's going to be M hamashia very good if the reab is giving us the energy from Hashem why do we have to do stuff to connect with the rebba tremendous question just like electricity it comes all the way to our house but to use it we have to plug in and so too also the Reba is giving us all the kak but we need to plug in and one of the ways we plug in is by using our most powerful weapon the 12 p and for the first of we have
