Good morning everyone.
Ba and forun for of the week sponsored
by Yudik honor of Shai's birthday in
honor and memory of Yudi's grandmother's
in memory of my our grandfather.
>> What's which what date? What's the date
today?
>> 24th test.
We know, we know, we know, we know
>> Michael and Cindy Leafy
>> in memory of Leora Bzel.
>> He literally killed you with his eyes.
>> The fins. I gave love with my eyes.
>> Uhhuh.
>> The
if were coming out of a uh a cave right
now, it would be very dangerous.
>> And by the
for
>> okay this is a new topic that we're
doing today we pass these around and
yeah today will be the last learning
that we're having for this man in this
safer
and the last share we'll do is this
going to be this this Friday okay so
this is A fascinating topic very very
interesting one everyone has.
>> Yeah.
>> Let's look inside.
>> Do you have you have it? Okay. So the
this is a uh if you look at the quote
it's page
100. Page 100.
Matsi. Matsi is a uh warlord meaning the
matsb the the head of the of the
how do you approach
means a risk are you allowed to take
risks in war so we have to what we're
going to be seeing this obviously
through aik
frame and through a hashkovic frame as
well because this is very much kash to
our to our inyan very much kur to
everything that we've been learning but
it really goes to the beginning because
this is dealing with the roots of why
there's opposition to zionism and just
brushing it off like we've learned
already will lead you nowhere and it
doesn't bring to any a
and incorporating into our into our uh
looking at am you have to we must
understand why it's whether you even if
you hold obviously that the foundation
and the proclamation of the of the
founding of the state of Israel is a
part of the guula and everything there's
a huge chunk in amra that does not see
it like that right now who is included
amongst those that don't see it like
that
>> many many people that we learn from and
that we we there there are massive
inspirations I mean I'll just give a
very I'm just going to say it right now
because I don't want to shy from it. Um,
Lubavich,
tell me something about Kabad. Are they
Are they Zionists?
>> No.
>> Absolutely not. Are they the biggest Are
they the biggest lovers of Erit Israel
>> and of Ami Israel? Absolutely. Are they
going against the government against the
Medina? No. There are those that hold
that like like Lavich that it's this is
not the head this beginning of the
there's a a famous letter from the furbi
that refers to the proclamation of the
state as
absolute darkness because when you think
that something is that it's not that's
very that that's when it becomes very
dangerous
>> and it's it boiled down to this thing of
like um
such uch a divide. But I want us to I
want us to get out of the divide and
realize it does it really matter if I
call it a certain name or not? like do
it does it how much does it matter
>> that I title something this is the
actual beginning of gula versus I don't
know if I have the
the shoulders to to I I can I really say
this is the beginning of redemption and
but yet I feel that this is a massive
massive jump towards the gula does it
how much does it mamish matter and I
think we get stuck in these things way
too much way too much about saying is it
or isn't it like I don't know to me the
healthiest approach is not make not
getting stuck in taking aside on saying
it is or it isn't but just looking at am
and looking at Israel and with our
hearts and with our love and I see your
faces you all want to throw a chair at
me right now I don't you know I don't
really care but
>> a stool
>> a stool okay but um this is these are
important in yanim but it it boils down
to this was it mutar for Bengurian to to
to declare that to declare a a state so
even like you say what do you mean was
it mutar or not like why wouldn't it be
mutar and how what would be if he didn't
right let's learn instead of just having
our opinions and our blood boiling the
whole purpose of these sharim is again
to learn these things inside
everyone's okay it's like and we've done
we've done heavier things Huh? Is
everyone okay?
>> Not that much.
>> Shocker, Stephan. Shocker.
>> On a on a bright note, I spoke to
Roshiva yesterday.
>> Say it again.
>> I spoke to C H A.
>> No, he spoke to a Roshiva yesterday.
>> It's amazing. No, no, but it's amazing.
Do you see like
>> But we can't use that word.
>> No, no, no, no. Whatever he's gonna say
now is all is all will all be through
this lens of what of how he defined the
Roshi Shiva.
>> It's true. But yes, two days ago you
were talking about sing not like not not
like sing like a not not like a misnag.
So what is
>> no that's different because there's no
>> because there's no heter to be a misnag.
>> Pardon?
>> There's no heter to be a misnag.
>> Okay very good. But there's a heter to
be a
>> in the wisdom of Solomon.
Thank you.
>> Um,
>> we all see things through our lenses.
>> Yeah. But but but that but but but the
problem is is that
>> he may have something very much that may
speak to our right now but because he
said
>> but it's true if the person defines as
if somebody self-def
>> you're going to shut up now right?
>> Hold on. Hold on.
>> No. But you have to come to for Shabas
to understand why I don't because I'm
talking about this on Shabas every
shabas. Now
>> every shabas it's the root of
the root of it
>> the root of mlo is is not
>> opinions it's division it's division and
somehow because we live in the world if
I walked into a yeshiva and I said I
want to tell you I spoke to a Zionist
rabbi and they said avort
>> they throw you out. Not that they throw
me out, they won't hear. They they shut
down.
>> I ever meant quote Russ. They look at me
like a
>> I crazy.
>> Okay. But you know what? I'm you want me
to play devil's advocate and if I said
other names of Rabbim that you for you
are you can't handle you can't stomach
but
that's not true. My house is filled with
representative.
>> I'm just saying it's Steve. Steve
>> the label
>> deep breath
>> enoughali this better be good
>> it's
>> this if this is like
it's so
>> but it reminds me of one other thing
that happened
>> okay
>> anyways the small anecdote was that this
this rusha from America was
>> oh from America no I'm kidding I'm
kidding I'm kidding fine go
>> that's completely
that's completely No, it's not.
>> Look at this. No, no, we're not going
off the rails. Look at us.
>> No, no, but
>> this is exactly what I'm talking about.
This is right. This is exactly what I'm
talking about.
>> It's exactly what I'm talking about in a
different way.
>> That's why you have to be of the Rebi
and just say a rabbi said a Roshiva said
z in my opinion. Yes.
>> No, no. I'm saying the important thing
came to me after this whole but he was
saying how this big half gut today.
They're doing they're doing chro of of
of protest going on.
>> Right. You you just showed me
>> 19.
>> He was actually telling me he said he
said the beautiful thing is at least all
these different you never go to get to
go out together. There's already
>> cuz they're neg
but I realized I was I was with Rabbi
Norman Lamb Sham's son yesterday
upstairs. He was here.
>> He was one of the
>> Yeah, he was one of the people
>> which one
>> really?
>> Yeah. So he so he was here yesterday and
I remember growing up in these yeshivas
and his father was considered
>> the worst like
>> the first thing you said to him
>> cuz just I don't know anything
>> your
>> your father was I grew up your father
was a was a
>> first of all we just finished
interviewing a vegan so having a guy
named lamb right off the bat was it was
Mitsu no but I realized how am I strugg
I I I didn't grow up in the wu world so
to me all I heard was I didn't know if
this guy was from I just knew this guy
no
for me that was like the ultimate that's
unfortunately but I realized talk
because when I was in that room with in
between that I was messaging with this
and Rab was saying how he grew up with
like death threats in his house like his
father was like under vicious and gifter
and this and that came out against him
and I realized that the I'm speaking to
was a commodifter and I realized that
beneath all the headlines and politics
and this is really loves each other. Bet
they do on on a human on a personto
person level. I was speaking to the
source of Shiva who was a gift gifter
and I was in a room with Rabbi with
Rabbi Lamson and I realized that
>> we're all bet underneath everything
we're all one and all this politics and
all this
>> be
the other story that came up you
mentioned the American rabbi
that Jen's Jen brought up and like she
out of her also she didn't want to
mention this but she said
>> yeah see not everyone watches podcast. I
don't know.
>> Yeah, we're trying to get numbers.
Uh yeah, back. But uh she said that it
took a while to find her son Binyam's
fillin in Gaza and had it and they
finally ended up getting the tillin back
weeks later and her other son was
becoming bar mitzvah. Ah, here's the til
they're going to give. And they're at
the placeel, you know, because putting
the filling on the
there was an American rub there. And so
she she was saying this the difference
between your shamani and and an American
and Bavi she said he came over he goes
is that is that you know this thin and
she goes yeah you know
>> who who asked that
>> this this American Rob she wouldn't say
this American ra was there she just
defined it as that and yeah so he said
yeah
>> it's nothing forget it she's like what
do you mean forget it like you know so
finally like like a bother like a week
or two she goes what do you mean goes
well you how the Yemens was his brother.
He was killed in the Gaza and the like I
don't know it probably reminds him all
the time of like of of of it and like I
just I don't I'm just a little surprised
that you would have him wear it.
She was by Raasher Weiss and she says
you know like uh we have the film and
now God lives and he's wearing it and
he's the holiest that's an aliyah. She
stopped me when I said fallen soldier.
She was stopped,
>> right? She It's not a name she and so
and she the way she interpreted it was
that this is just like like the Tom the
the the harasha that it it that you were
showing me babbling. So even when you do
say American there there's there's
something
>> there. There's something there. There's
something there.
>> It's a huge just a huge difference. See
>> there is though even
>> but we're even even the Torah that's
passed obviously.
>> I know but we're trying to find what's
not different. You know yesterday
>> my dear friend Yam Shakar he told me in
a gal thing that he wrote up for for
giml
how it came out in it's a sorry but it
came out in paras not like by right
>> you just did it yourself. No, no. I'm I
did it to point out how it's it doesn't
even matter sometimes. MTor,
>> you said a beautiful thing. He said that
thing was it's so easy to gather people
together to form a neg to form something
that's that's against it's that that's
not a that's not a like the fact that
there's a today because all these
different groups are forming together to
go against something
and it's not so beautiful the whole
anti-semitism of course the whole the
whole the depth is what the rebi formed
people to be together for not against
things. That'sma that's the greatness of
the rebi of the rebi
>> to gather people together to be four.
That's that I I hope that the bottom
line of what we're doing here um is the
same thing is maven to the same thing.
It's not an in of trying to convince the
convinced. It's not the the Indian to
try to make sure that we are stronger in
our life's choices. But it's tapa to see
when we learn inside a si like this and
we ask a question. Was it right that
Bengurian was it okay that Bengorian
proclaimed a a a a country a state?
We're not doing it to show more divide.
We're doing it to understand how people
could be against it and not just brush
them off as mug because they don't
believe like us because it doesn't work.
Nothing comes out of just showing how
we're right. It doesn't help anybody.
Okay. But we're right.
Kidding.
So the question is asking
the question is when do we say um don't
be don't be frightened don't be scared
you're a little bit of people but go out
against the masses. says, "You don't
have that much weaponry, but don't
worry, there'll be a miracle." And when
do we say like the Rambam Baskins, you
don't rely on miracles, and you avoid
going out to war, not because you don't
think the enemy needs to be wiped out,
but because practically in a mitzious
level and down to earth on a realistic
level, it seems that this is not the
right thing to do. Obviously, I know
what you're all thinking. If that was
the approach then we should have never
even come here because and our existence
even today is completely anace. It
doesn't add up. It doesn't make sense
that uh you know Lebanon, Syria, Turkey,
Iraq, Jordan,
Iran, Egypt. Sorry. No, there's peace
accords, right? Yeah. It's very
>> who
we have the Yemen like it doesn't make
sense. How about resistance during the
holocaust? They should have. So this was
the question of and his sons also right.
This is also the question that's in
front of all the eyes of those that are
elect are you know our officials that
are elected officials.
when got up in Tel Aviv,
right? What what was he thinking? Like
you're you're you're you're proclaiming
there's there's a state here, right? Is
that in some is that is that is that
relying on a miracle or was there was
actual like tactic involved there
analyzing the situation and saying I
think it could work.
So to any bardaz you have to understand
that that proclamation is much more like
matia ubanav like the story of kaneka
then or like you could say like nakshon
>> um you know the only thing is non
believed in god so there's a little bit
of a difference going on over there but
we'll get back to that later
>> call was
that wasn't exactly Bengurian's call
unfortunately
>> we laugh no
>> but then when we think about why it's
not so pushet for many people to accept
what he did. You can't just brush it
off. And malas, of course, we'll still
hold what we're holding, but you can't
just brush off the fact that so many Jew
god-fearing Jews who were dinging for
2,000 years
that the return to Israel is a godly
movement. And the person that's leading
it, it's I
I don't want to say bad things about
him. It's not my Indian either, but it's
when we for 2,000 years when we said,
>> it didn't exactly pan out the way that
it's come about. That's all I'm going to
say for now. I'm going to be pushing
your buttons the whole Shia today. It's
fine.
>> Come about the way that we anticipated
him to come out.
>> Did come about the same way we
anticipated him to come out? I'm saying
like
>> was there even anticipation in the time
of David?
>> The way and did it work? Wait a second.
Did it work out? Did it work out the sh
the way Hashem wanted? I don't know. Did
do you think Hashem wanted to build the
B mdash?
>> Well, it worked out the way to it down.
We're not in
>> chill.
Chill.
>> This is me. Chill.
>> I know.
the same way that you
>> I love you.
>> I'm angry with just one message.
>> I'm not angry. I'm
>> passionate.
>> My my passion is Mr. Guys. Guys, this is
my This is one of my Reb is talking. I
It's okay.
That That question is a very loaded
question. Did it pan out the way Hashem
wanted? You want to go through Dame's
life and answer that question? It it did
because it happened.
>> Oh,
so did the disengagement and so did
Oslo,
>> right?
>> Does it mean it was the right thing to
do?
>> Does that mean it's the right thing to
do?
>> It it happened. So,
>> does it mean it's the right thing to do?
>> It happened.
>> Maz. We don't act like that.
>> So,
>> we don't act like we don't live like
that since happened. That wasn't the
>> right, but it happened. Of course, you
could say everything's after the ma.
>> Um, but but we're not acting like let's
see how we could the brains out of
ourselves. Wouldn't it be nice once in
our lifetime to actually live a life or
at least attempt to?
>> Do you have any example of that?
>> The fact that it's now doesn't mean that
>> um have we ever lived a life? What if
maybe there's that small window there
really we were on top of the world?
>> Um just a moment 50 m
>> wives horses come on
>> and even then
>> maybe there was a couple golden years
>> there was
>> other than have we ever
>> and we're the ones that are going to do
>> to continue our conversation from
yesterday. Yes.
There's no stereo. Whatever was was
doesn't m Why should that Why should it
be that even if it never was the way
that I'm we're describing it right now?
That means that that means that it
shouldn't be. I don't know.
I don't understand.
>> I can only look to history to see how it
doesn't mean I need to keep doing the
same things, but the the way our history
is is bitty at it.
>> It's just the way it is.
>> Break the cycle. No, no, he he's it's
he'd rather hold on to the galus
mentality because it's safer. I
understand.
>> Our history is because there's never
been we're not so obviously everyone's
made mistakes in the course of history.
>> Shil do I choose to live or not
since that's the truth. So do I choose
to live in even the say would say it's
and he's like the of right
we don't ever have a certainty that's
part of our problem we're no longer
living in days of where if the said do
this and we don't we can easily say we
did not do the which is to follow the
noi without
>> let's say like this
>> all we can do is what we think at the
moment to be correct and hopefully
listening to thumb and we choose which
godle somehow pierces our hearts.
>> Let's let let's say like this.
How about we choose one area of life
that we're going to live and let's see
if it works. Okay. Now, what's the one
one one place I'm choosing to to to
guide direct us towards
that every yid wants is shine.
that every yid wants the best and every
yid in his heart like you were saying
before is I'm gonna work from that.
How's that threatening?
>> Sounds great.
>> Yeah.
>> Can we start from there? Yeah.
That's how the rebi lived. That's lived
like level
and and that's what I'm trying to do
with with the way that we're going
through this.
>> Can we exclude driving?
>> Excuse me.
>> Can we exclude driving?
Paul, we've waited.
We've waited for the revelation. Yes.
Yes. We can exclude drivers. Yes. Okay.
Let's go back into this very simple text
that we're that we're learning today.
Again, second paragraph.
He barely had soldiers.
>> They weren't even trained. They were,
you know,
>> three years
three years uh post Ashwit. So it may
have taken a few minutes to get, you
know, to get to get strong again.
He had we just we have no of this. The
amount of enemies that were so much more
powerful than we were back then.
How could you even have had religious
ministers, observant Orthodox ministers
voting in favor of proclaiming that
there's a there's a new entity. It's
called Medinat Israel. Meaning the
question that revel is is asking which
is a gav one. He's saying based on how
we hold that we don't rely on miracles.
It's not the way we rely. It's not it's
not how we live.
How could it be that they were so much
in favor for
it's a very interesting he's talking
right now. It's a very interesting
question.
>> Is that okay with everyone so far?
>> No. I I just want to draw a parallel.
Yeah. Mohera Rabenu took Amish out from
Adusu
Awitz of of hundreds of years
>> to believe that they could go out and do
what they had to do. They were being and
they only got the nissim after they had
where what am I going to eat brought
didn't promise them and we expect them
throughout and there are kajbar who gets
upset with him and moa for sure gets
upset with them because they're not ming
how can you expect so there's a parallel
when we went out of Awitz into
somehow create a state what was the
alternative for the Jewish No, mana was
falling down from heaven when we came
out of Ashwitz.
>> No. No.
>> You mean your you had a consistent well
of water nourishing you while you came
out of Ashwitz?
>> I'm not saying that.
>> You drew you drew a parallel to a time
where these things were happening.
>> There wasn't a consistent well of water
until after they had they went out and
after they were supposed to believe that
they were going
>> and since 1948 there's been
>> lots of Nissim lots of Nissim. We've had
we've had infinite amount. We've spoken
about it all the time. None of them are
like the nissim gluim that took place
when in the era that you're describing.
>> The nissim gluim around us daily. But
you believe it. I know you've made that
Steve. I I'm the big I'm the biggest
proponent of it. But I'm trying to
>> but we're looking at people again again
Steve to try to push that right. That
doesn't work. It doesn't work. So you'll
you'll go home and you'll be much more
confident in Yeah, exactly. It works for
you
>> that we are doing what we have to do.
>> You say there but I'm trying to
>> we could keep on saying that which we
already convinced of and that which
works for us. But that that's not why we
get together and sit and learn. I know.
I I'm I'm sorry. It's not it's not what
I it's not what interests me.
to hear and learn the different
>> we haven't even gone through
>> I know
>> so far we've we've barely gotten through
two paragraphs that the shila we're
putting a shila out there the shila is
is it is it mutar was it mutar for
religious
>> right to vote in favor of the
proclamation of the medina at a time at
a time where that seemed insane
Now all of us are beneficiaries of the
fact that they did
right but that still doesn't take away
from us we need to ask that that's all
we're doing
>> the same shila is was it mut for many
raon at the time to say better you
should give up your physical life but
your should live on and don't go to that
accursed
he hasn't he hasn't asked that question
yet
>> both of those
>> I'm learning from a safer he hasn't
asked then
>> okay
>> cuz we don't have a nave we have to
follow
>> yeah but that actually proves their
point even more
>> of course we don't know
>> the fact that there is no nvas that's
what I'm saying we just need to let him
ask a question I'm trying to explain it
that's it yeah
>> out of total ignorance when Bengurian
made the declaration yeah
>> the these were already living in Israel
and he made um he made al not
allocations. He made He made it so that
they would want to support him.
>> Did they Did he
>> do you know who all these Do you know
who all the the the anti
It's amazing. Do you know who really all
the people that are suffering from the
fact that there's a problem with the
draft? Who really they should blame? All
of them. Not not I'm saying from the the
Zionist parties.
>> Bengurian
>> Bengurian.
It's it this did not start in the 80s
with the rise of ultraorththodoxy
in the 70s.
>> Yes. This was rooted this is rooted
>> in the foundation of the state of
Israel. This is not a kdushesh.
>> No, that that's exactly what I'm saying
that they supported him because of the
of what he allowed them to do.
>> I don't know if they It's hard to say
they supported him.
>> They acquies,
>> right? That that's a better
>> but as Rash was saying the at that time
they did they did
>> included
>> included god-fearing people
>> so I'm not as ignorant as I thought that
>> I don't know no
okay obviously the question we took it
to a completely different area which I
guess Hashem wanted to cuz it happened
>> however I will try to
Take I'm going to try to take the No,
I'm I'm actually not today either. I'm
trying to take the wheel back.
>> Oh,
>> I'm trying to take the wheel back. Now,
the question obviously comes
>> over the
>> Huh.
>> Me too. Me too.
>> That's why we're all acting up. We don't
want to let you
>> I know. I know. I know. I know. This all
boils down to the Shila.
>> Should we bomb with
>> Okay. Now we all know that Nissim Ven
flows took place with the with the
attack and we we don't have the kalin to
we have zero kalin to really comprehend
what happened um with with all these
attacks that we've done in Iran. It
doesn't anything you say anything you
say does not add up. It doesn't add up.
None of it none of it adds up.
>> This was written before that correct?
Mhm.
>> This was writt in
I'll tell you why I'm conf I'm not sure
because this what we're learning from is
a edited version of the first version
that came out which was definitely
before. I don't know. We'll have to see
based on how he how he brings it out.
You know, my wife was speaking about
this all the time that the first time we
bombed Iran, there was this huge
like this like ana. Why? Because growing
up here in this country, whoever grew up
here, as you know, I've been here from
fourth grade,
Iran, even saying that word, your body
shook. There was a fear. You're you're
you were raised with this crazy fe
intense
scary like vicious fear. Just mentioning
their name and even thinking of messing
with them would cause you to what's that
>> with the big bad wolf.
>> Like so then when we then when
we
we took over their airspace in about 35
seconds
>> what what is that exactly? Right. And on
the other hand, they are pretty powerful
because they're still not, you know,
after everything they they went through,
they're still around like and they're
vodk around. So it's very very it's very
weird. So the shila he has here is like
okay with that promise. So is it mut
to go and bomb Iran if you're if you're
working alim
because that's that that seems to be
there's no shave shave over here going
on. You know how I told you what
happened with I bought a globe. Did I
tell to you guys? I think it was women
she I bought a little globe in in
Muldova. I couldn't find anything else
to buy for my kids coming home from from
Ukraine. So I I found a little globe. I
love globes. I I love globe. I always I
always loved playing with globes and
mama like learning the you know the the
countries and everything. So I was
showing them and it's a little globe and
it's from Aldova. So there's not even
really a mention of is of Israel. a dot,
an orange dot on it. Then Nah, he asked
me, "Where's Iran?"
>> So I showed him and he saw how big Iran
was. And I'm like, "How come I'm not
freaking out from the fact that it
really is like that?" Cuz I got used to
living in a in a state of of of
miracles. That's it. That's the only
difference.
Because when you look at it, it
What does the say? What how did it guide
and his sons in the time of the story of
Kaneka? And how does it guide us today
with questions that if there's a you're
saving hundreds of thousands of lives
and if there's a kishalon if there's a
god forbid a failure you're bringing
upon
what you're bringing upon is
>> it similar to what am
struggling with during the just before
the role in kurban we were divided
should we be fighting should we be
accepting
>> could
Ah, now he's asking even a better
question. How could it be that there
were
that told their students to vote for
or against the Oslo Accords? So against
the Oslo Accords, we could understand
our could totally understand this. Um
against O but you all know how Oslo
pulled through, right? Like how how did
how were they able to get the Oslo
courts to be voted in?
>> People switched
>> it's it's scary.
And it's also one member of he was the
last the
guy that a year later got caught
smuggling bunch of ecstasy pills from
Amsterdam into into the country.
You guys don't remember this. You
weren't around. Mama crazy.
>> They got a spike for Iran also.
>> That's something else. That's something
else.
>> No, they bought off of one.
So he asks here are these should these
questions just should just be asked to
you know asked uh proposed as questions
to the strategic minds to the to
theistim what's called you know every
single person who's a betist it's like
everyone knows exactly what to do
because they have this rich um you know
security uh this rich history of being a
top general in some area of uh you know
Medina or should you invite involved or
should a Jew does a Jewish state need to
incorporate the council of Talm in these
matters? Now, if you say yes, then
you'll say, well, that they did that
with Oslo and then you got the Oslo
Accord signed, which can make you
insane. That's what they'll say. Shiloh,
we have to ask really is how do you go
about asking these questions? And I I'm
say something because you look like
you're gonna not just throw a chair at
me after this year. You you look like
you're going to move to Florida right
now
or or or or move to Bethlehem. I don't
even know which one.
>> I was there too
>> because I know what you're thinking and
I'll say that I dig I dug deep into this
right now. Ravoia was fooled.
Okay.
That's a deep heart supposed to be full.
>> Take that up with him. I'm I'm not
that's I I can't go into there right
now. Of course, they're not supposed to,
but he was take they they they pulled
one on him that afterwards we have
documentation of him saying basically
dwelling.
>> He was screaming saying had I known that
it was X Y and Z
>> of dual never
>> like in a
>> just to put things into context. No, but
you have you will have to deal with Y's
statement afterwards. I'm not I'm not
dealing with it right now.
>> So
>> now we're saying we're saying let's go
deep into the into the practical
question and we're going to end with
this. This is like a very this last
piece. This is very
he's saying that about his father.
You know, I had I'm telling you I'm a
little bit traumatized and I don't take
talk about this too much, but this is
something that I I I don't I haven't
really dealt with. I was on stage with
Rav Morai
summer yalim
>> my guitar
>> 21 years ago
>> with your guitar with Kip. Yes, I was
there. I was mamish. Right next to the
gon at saddic of
it was yu shalim. There's 100,000 people
in the crowd. That was that year was the
year of the girush which was about to
happen. So the whole crowd I'm seeing a
sea of orange cuz everyone was wearing
the orange bands and you felt very much
at home that year.
>> So happy to be here.
>> The orange cuz Yeah. Were you you were
there that year? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You
were here. I met you right before then.
Right. And and Raa
got up on the stage and I'll never
forget this because we're freaking out.
It's like, "Oh my god, this is actually
happening. We're two months away from
two months away when it's supposed to
happen. The country is on fire." Okay,
the country is on fire. Fire.
And uh confusion. And he got on stage he
said
he said it won't be it won't it won't
happen. and the crowd.
I'll never forget this. Wow.
Shaga loy.
And that was the only way that, you
know, I felt like I could continue
playing. You know, I I cuz cuz it was
crazy. You know who else was up there
also?
The person that's trying to run again to
become prime minister.
>> He was right there next to him.
>> NB.
>> Huh? Yeah. Right there.
at the time the head of Moh was already
in he was already coming into politics
it was I I couldn't believe this stuff
it was crazy
the
he would always say the order of how you
pass regarding
it's true the Torah takes into
consideration
specialists in certain areas
but they always have different agendas
as well. There are different other
agendas.
every time before David went out to wage
war
that's what the says there were three
categories there happening meaning that
would counsel with the first one was he
was an he's very interesting because
when you learn
you see he also was the y of of sha
meaning his he was a mum
Okay, he was a but it wasn't just that.
Then he says after you heard what they
have to say
the was there and they had to give their
guidance and counsel and also you ask
the so so it's not just like strategic
it's both
with with it has to be with
and even when the weren't there already
even. So now what are we doing? It's
straight bamish like like
even if you want to say that what
you you it's everything is Torah Torah
Torah and nothing else matters. Well
even the time no you actually have to
have strategic minds giving you an
assessment of the situation.
But the thing is is that if you want to
say that, you also have to say, but you
also need
meaning you can't have one without the
other. It has to be both. Which brings
us exactly to the situation that we're
in today. When we go out and wage war
when we do these things, who's basically
sitting there at around that table? Not
only the military supposedly and
and let's say it's called the right.
It's like a smaller cabinet, right?
>> So you may say, listen, there's sitting
on the
Indian of Sanin
dealer, right?
What we're trying to show here is that
maybe up until now we've gotten to a lot
of messes because we haven't acted like
this yet.
But I think rely is always pushing us to
look an an to a way forward and a way
forward means that we have to dream of a
yes situation is both the all those of
Ginsburg
we're dreaming of a of establishing a
situation which we can't give up on. The
point of what we're trying to see to
sing today and we'll end with this. The
point of what we're trying to show us
today is that it's not so pash
either way. You're we're forced into a
into av mitus of clearly
almost total annihilation of all
European jury which at that time was
what percentage of the Jewish population
of the world?
>> Does anyone know?
>> One third.
>> A third
>> European jury were only one third.
>> I thought it was one. Yeah, I think it
was like 7%.
>> I thought it was more. Okay, whatever
whatever it was a substantial
substantial amount, right? So, we're
coming and we're saying, listen, if we
don't get our acts together somehow,
it's be the end of the story. Anyone
that can't hear that wants to choose to
live a life of
if you can't hear that, then you really
just saying, "Okay, so everything's we
we have to just live like a nice all the
time." That doesn't that's not our
shittita either.
But proclaiming a state could also be
looked at as if you're just building on
a miracle as well. Yeah. Right. Also the
ko like we saw who are you fighting
against? Who who's against who in the
time of Bengurian?
So all these shilas are good to ask. You
have to ask these questions and realize
the reality we're in is very but it
doesn't exempt us from trying to create
a situation of
and Sanhedrin and of course the bumin
that is what we need to go for and that
is baserem what we will be going for
because there is no other way nothing it
won't work any other way that's for sure
it won't work any other way there's a
lot a lot a lot more to learn a lot more
to learn I give us a to learn for from
for many more years this and all the
things pertaining to where we're at
right now in life and razor hem we
should continue to witness nim flow
without relying on them
>> and pes wants to say something
>> yeah on a practical level just taking
what we've been working on these last
number of weeks uh and
you know talking about how it's not
going to it's not going to come from
from from the top down.
>> Bottom up,
>> bottom up,
>> bottom up.
>> And so, and so I what I've really been
asking myself is, well, well, what's
what's the way forward with it from that
from that place that starts with each
one of us?
And what's really been I've been hearing
it very clearly is you know what
everybody's saying,
but uh how much can we really call out
if we don't also have
that
as a father,
what's more important? That I have a
great relationship with my own kids.
That's wonderful. But does it really
does it bother me when I see my own kids
don't get along? Isn't that what's
really that's what's more important to
me is that my own kids should get along.
I can only take from that
that I I believe that
more important than
that wants to hear more
and that is something that I believe can
only happen from the bottom up that if
we're if we're walking away
from from from these last few weeks of
learning
that it starts with each one of us to
see it from that place to create that as
the frame
>> that regardless just get being free of
all the bonus of why is he doing that
and what and all the we have about
everybody else's uh
just
that's the only thing and maybe that's
ignorance I don't know but at the very
least
>> that creates some sense of saying you
know what what's best for us what does
really want for us to that we should all
be getting along
So maybe we should say instead of
>> that's what I'm getting from what you're
saying
>> or to say with
>> as long as God is only bashim I could
afford to like not get along with each
other.
>> That that brings up a beautiful thing. I
heard the end of the famous thing at the
end of talks about how the end of days
this is going to happen this is going to
happen and we read it like
and I heard an explanation that that's
actually one of the things that the end
of the days people oh it's all up to God
in heaven like that's what's
>> oh not as if like
>> not as if it's a good thing it's one of
the negative things all we're doing is
relying on God and not actually doing on
us Kazaki
