these uh amazing books but many people have loved them uh you could also get a box of these and some other books as well uh also last but not least I know that there is a some of you that have asked for uh uh different uh prayers or blessings or uh Gul for um for having children uh there is a famous Gul that is told by many throughout history uh one of them uh is uh uh is actually uh very famous one in especially in our uh in our generation uh I've said this many times which is if you want to have a for having children sponsor a SE uh meaning uh anybody that uh sponsors a uh the writing of a seph KES uh will will you know will marit to have a child so this is uh certainly a bigul it's checked B and it's worked so with that being said uh we have our series of course uh everything that's happened uh over these uh last uh few days uh you know makes people think about things a little bit differently than they did uh in the last several weeks after you see uh some of uh the uh historical uh you know uh stories of America come back to life uh you know the assassination of Martin Luther King or JF Kennedy uh attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan you know some of these things were uh pretty much buried deep into the history books uh until you saw an attempted assassination uh of uh Donald Trump who was the former president and running of course again uh and many people are starting to see that wow you know it doesn't matter where a person is in their life uh they uh literally can lose it just like that uh even if they are in a uh the most uh you know one of the most powerful positions in the world Hashem can decide simply to take anybody's life at will and of course this is one of the things that uh makes people start understanding that it's not just other people's lives it's our own lives everybody's lives are always in the hands of a and now more than ever people are seeing that the disasters that are happening in Israel in this atrocious War where you pretty much uh you know have uh have had politics lose the war it wasn't the soldiers that lost the war it was literally politics that lost the War uh because these politicians are uh doing everything possible to make our soldiers weaker uh and uh whether it's the politicians in Israel or politicians in America or other countries but of course when we learn toah we understand very clearly that it's not necessarily the politicians per se that we have to point fingers at and blame them for the losses blame them for the death blame them for the dis asers but rather we have to point the finger back at ourselves because we realize that if we were doing enough chuva if we were publicizing enough tah if we were publicizing A's name properly then uh of course these wars wouldn't happen in the first place uh but it's only because aadh has to rebuke uh his people that these types of things are happening and unfortunately uh we are at a time where is showing us pretty clearly that he's closing the store and he's collecting all of the outstanding uh debts uh and that's pretty much what's uh what's happening not just in Israel not just in America but literally in individual houses you're seeing a lot of things happen in people's lives as if their lives have become uh some uh you know organized chaos put on Fast Forward uh where it seems like it's more chaos than the organized part people are coming to us from all walks of life young old married single uh you know male female and literally it seems like everybody's just uh looking for themselves looking for an answer and of course elas already told us in the prior lecture that we had in this series which is when is when am is finds themselves lost because of everything that's happening all of the difficulties and the turmoil of the Exile whether it's financial problem S health problems political problems any other type of problem if you find yourselves in a difficulty look back to the ancient Shepherds look back to Abraham yov Moshe David scho look back to these ancient Shepherds and you will see that these ancient Shepherds walked in my way and therefore I protected them they walked uh according to my Torah and therefore I celebrate them and this is in essence more relevant now than ever as we see that the uh situation for at large whether you are religious or not religious uh is at risk in every part of the world the anti-Semitism that has become standard around the world uh is uh doesn't look like it has any uh any uh uh end in sight and for those of you that are delusional uh that think that oh perhaps if Donald Trump wins especially since he got a uh a vice president uh that he wants to have with him that's also pro-israel maybe that's going to be our shining uh shining uh uh star don't delude yourself the uh the um the hands of the kings are in the hands of hem meaning that once a person becomes a king a in essence decides what this king is going to do and if if a Kosh wants the king to be anti-Semitic will be anti-semitic even if he's Jewish himself like the rasa from Ukraine uh if despite the fact that the Jews have helped him probably more than anybody else he hates Jews literally no different than Hitler if he can kill all of them he'd be happy even though he's a Jew technically uh the uh the fact that so many have helped him and and continued to help is bizarre but nonetheless this is part of our confusion confusion in a generation you're seeing that the situation that the Jewish people have here in America is really really difficult why on one end you're seeing that there's anti-Semitism in the streets there's anti-Semitism in every state there's protests there is cheering for the terrorists there is promoting of terrorism and annihilation of the Jewish people while at the same time you have a few you know lone speakers that go on the media that say no the Jewish people are good people Israel is our Ally and you know it's again it's gives people hope because you know every time you have some uh some person say anything that's positive about the Jewish people you see this shared in every Jewish group known to man they don't necessarily share all the anti-semitic ones because that would pretty much bring down the internet because there's so much of it but the problem is that we're still in a situation that we have these false gods where people are instilling power into people into politics into countries into anything other than and this as our sages and past Generations have said time and time again this is a big part of the reason of why we're in the Exile in the first place as one of the the grandson of the U famously said we're in the Exile because we still have false beliefs and false gods now what can we say that uh you know about the fact that uh these false beliefs should easily be resolved if rabbis came out there and told people listen stop having faith in Trump stop having faith in Biden stop having faith in America stop having faith in uh in Israel stop having faith in the army or in the Iron Dome or in your money or in your political position or or or whatever it is that you have and just believe in God why can't all of the rabbis simply do that well the truth is that many of the rabbis are doing it but their messages are silenced are silenced by the heretical voices of the false Messi Messiah of the generation those that we've exposed in the past and those that we haven't gotten to expose yet these false Messiahs these false these these false prophets these Heretics are silencing The Voice of Truth because unfortunately the Satan is being gifted by aad the ability to empower are these people make them very popular make them very charismatic make them people that people want to hear people look to hear and unfortunately the voices of the false Messiahs are loud are everywhere and there's not a day that goes by that they're not releasing more heretical videos that are capturing the hearts and the minds of ignorant Jewish people and Gentiles that and uh really making them believe that perhaps they could put their hope in something else other than what the Torah itself has said so one of the big things that we see is that this is not just your typical war of you know the the good versus bad where you know who has the best weapons who has the biggest knives or guns this is not the typical War at the same time token you also see that the players that are playing the soldiers the generals that are in this war are not necessarily the same like we've had in the past you know in previous generation we had aaham fighting against the world of idolatry all by himself we had yov fighting against idolatry fighting against idolatry in different ways so much so that even the uh uh the uh the wars that they fought against the the enemy were not just about land or or or or weapons they were literally spiritual Wars and who's to uh who knows more about spiritual Wars than mosenu Moser renu's fight against Amal was a war that the uh loes calls the most extraordinary war that ever existed even more than the final war of go Magog why because the war between am Isel and Amal in the desert was a supernatural War it had nothing to do with weapons and swords and things of that nature the Amal were all wtch wizards witchcraft they knew when certain people were going to die therefore they wouldn't send them into the battle so how do you kill somebody that's not destined to die even if you stab the guy 50 times nothing happens why because today is not the day others that could transform themselves into animals all types of insane Supernatural things that happen of course m one but it was only due to the hand of a that this actually transpired and throughout all of Jewish history we have seen time and time again that am Isel has fought battle after battle and many of our holidays are based on those battles whether was the battle surviving Egypt in general where we had a fight the war for us and take us out of Egypt with a strong arm strong arm does not mean that Hashem has an arm like the Heretics like people to believe but rather because it was a super miracle there's a miracle and there's a super Miracle is after 210 years of being in Egypt the first half of it being an extraordinary time of success of money of beauty similar to what we had in Germany similar to what we had in Spain similar to what we had in America before the tragedies happened before the Spanish Inquisition before the Holocaust Egypt was number one place in the world for Jews you could pray you could make money you could do whatever you want until it all came to a sudden end and before you know it the multi-millionaire on the Block that had 15 houses to choose from of where to vacation and another hundred houses that he was renting to different people became a slave with zero property and zero rights you fast forward you fast forward this Exodus where made one Miracle after another in order to get us out of there but Amai did not want to leave after all of these am did not want to leave why they simply could not see themselves as anything but slaves after the first hundred years of being there when we were on top of the world and then turning into slaves where the Egyptians were killing Jewish babies at will every morning 150 babies and at night another 150 babies just for their blood so par can take a hour and sit in the bath because he had Sarat and his necromancers told him that the only cure is Jewish blood imagine imagine such a life where the women are given men's jobs and the and the men are given women's jobs just to break their morale over a hundred years of this over a hundred years where you don't have the right to sleep when you want eat when you want and there's a good chance you won't even survive the day if you don't meet your quota this was much worse than even the Holocaust so over 100 years of this the Jewish people got to the point where they no longer saw Freedom as a reality even when mosenu is showing a miracle after miracle from the hand of hem and therefore had to make a super Miracle says the sages a super Miracle to literally transform their inner self and make themselves see themselves as free people this was not just a miracle kazal calls it a super Miracle furthermore in the desert we had Wars against amalik against the Canaanites against Giants many people very interested into the Giants apparently they've watched too many movies too many Hollywood movies so they think that maybe they'll bring those movies back to life so they watch all types of Heretics and Christian missionaries and anyone else that has nothing else to do but lie take the truthful parts of the Torah that talk about Giants and other parts and put their falsehood stamp on it saying that the Giants came from Aliens St that the Giants are still here or they checking on us all types of stupid things but the truth is we did see in the Torah itself is go to war against Giants that Wason that was OG each one of them had a country each one of them had a legion a whole Army of Warriors and were related some say they were Father and Son others say they were brothers either way these were giants descendants of the had to fight them for survival for survival this was in the desert and if that wasn't enough as soon as Yeshua benon brought am Isel into Israel at that time still called Kanan he had to fight 31 different countries each one with weapons with experience with a Lust For Blood and if that wasn't enough of course we had the other historical battles throughout all of history but we didn't win all of these battles the Assyrians the Babylonians the Romans the Greeks the Spaniards the Turks the Nazis all of these different major countries went to war with us at one point or another and some of them nearly destroyed us While others we barely survived but of course we are here and they're not and has taught us that this is all due to the fact that aadh promised the earlier Shepherds abrah and yob that is is like the Tor and will always be no one will ever destroy us they may hurt us they may damage us but they will never destroy us but interestingly enough even through these battles we saw the different treatment that Hashem has for the Jewish people versus the Nations where the Jewish people have suffered more than all of the other nations combined throughout all of history anyone that goes through Jewish history from obviously the Jewish perspective sees how much we've suffered whether it's slavery poverty uh you know prosecution false you know uh blood lials everything and anything you could possibly imagine we've gone through Holocaust time and time again the Nazi Holocaust wasn't the only Holocaust we went to through but yet we're here but the Nations that went against us were always the most powerful Nations and these nations were allowed to become powerful world leaders Neta controlled the entire world where the Danielle the prophet says that the interpretation of his dream was that AEM promised him that he will be the most powerful King in the world until mhia comes the Assyrians were the most powerful in the world the Romans most powerful Greeks most powerful and on and on all of them were the most powerful Hashem gave them wealth gave them a uh a a brain to use whatever ability they had to empower themselves and enrich themselves even further so when they went to war with us everyone viewed it as what's the point you obviously you won the game you won the war and of course many of times they did but interestingly enough shows his mercy and his special treatment of the Jewish people through these wars and the outcome of these enemies well on one end he shows us how as great as we may think we are when we have money when we have power we have he can bring us to nothing in a very very quick in a very very quick Swift hit from his stick release of the dogs of adom and and Amal and Ishmael on the other end when the time comes to punish us he always makes sure that there's enough of us to continue the promise that was made to our forefathers but when it comes to the Nations he lets them Prosper he lets them gain extraordinary power and wealth he lets them even control the world for an extended period of time these nations in some cases control the world for hundreds of years but when the time comes for to punish them it's not the same as the punishment of the Jewish people because they do not have a promise from Hashem that they will survive and therefore when aadh punishes the Nations no matter how big and strong they are no matter how powerful they are he annihilates them completely wipes them off the face of the Earth and they literally become just a part of History the only way that you could know that they could they existed is through different research archaeological researches and simply history books you don't have any descendants from the Romans and certainly none of the descendants of the Greeks the Greeks of today has nothing to do with the Greeks that fought against us the Greeks that fought against us couple thousand years ago were in Syria they weren't in Greece either way we see how runs in this world very very differently when it comes to the Nations versus his chosen people the Jews and if the Jews find themselves in these troubled times of the era of msia and at the latter stages that we find ourselves in where it's the war of amalik is upon us we have to look at our forefathers at these ancient Shepherds these loyal Shepherds in order to know what path to go on because while all of these wars are in our history books the most dangerous Wars are not necessarily the wars that people are so aware of because the most dangerous Wars that we've ever faced were actually the wars that were before the war meaning that just like when rabf when he published the some were not just impressed by the SE some asked what Mitzvah what great deed did he do to Merit writing such a book writing books have written books and many one book better than the other we've have millions of books in Judaism there's no end in sight of how many books if you study 24 hours a day for a thousand years you will not finish all the Tora that's available to us and the Tora that's available to us is not even a drop in the ocean in comparison to the tah that's truly available in sh but in this particular case the sages when they saw the and everyone accepted it as this is for all of is even the Rama even the Rama that was also writing a similar from the perspective of the ashkanazi Jews instead of writing a separate seph he simply combined his commentary on the and today when you buy you have both the Rama and rabo where rabo you'll see in the big print and the Rama is in small print but everyone asked everyone accepted it there was no but they asked what great Merit did he do what great deed did he do to Merit writing such a book that all of is is obligated to follow the same concept works in the opposite all of these wars that we've had we have to ask ourselves what awful deed did we do to unfortunately be in the circumstance that we deserved such a war now of course the prophets have clarified it throughout history whether it's at the time of mosenu where we saw that Isel made mistakes 10 different challenges 10 different tests for Hashem each time Hashem punished them differently in some cases with war or later on when we went against AEM in different ways and tells us a little bit more of not only what put us in these positions but how do we deal with them because it's usually the war before the war that is the most critical because if we could win the war before the war or The Battle Before the War the war would never be if is was all in the betet learning tah celebrating tah October 7th would have never happened if am was all celebrating the T and following hasem the Holocaust would have never happened AEM time and time again tells us that if we follow his Torah we will only have blessings when we don't he has to rebuke us he has to punish us in order to make sure that we stay his nation and not become just another nation and rasman says as followers in the eighth section which we started last week after telling us about following in the footsteps of the shepherd as we are aem's favorite we are the most beautiful of Nations and he says as follows we have found that we have two holidays that were instituted for all generations to celebrate as a commemoration of the Miracles that we have had that we were saved from the decrees of ham and anti Haman obviously the time the Jews were in Persia and Haman tried to destroy all of am is he was an from Amal but since he wasn't the king he convinced the King by giving him 10,000 which I did the calculation at some point few years ago with r Fran we figured out that it was somewhere in the neighborhood of a quarter billion or $300 million absorbit amount of money just to have the right to destroy all the Jews religious not religious didn't make a difference to him he was like Hitler he wanted to kill any any one that was a Jew that's what Amal wants on the other hand we had anti caused more damage to than even H why he wanted to destroy us not by killing us but rather by making us abandon God and we have these two holidays of kanuka and puim that were instituted by the sages to celebrate the Miracles that we were saved from these decrees and says and there's a difference between these two [Music] holidays that on puim it was instituted when the sages added these holidays out of all the holidays there are only two holid all of the holidays we have are from the tah except these two holidays that were instituted by the and as a side note today is Elan vas's yard site he was murdered in Cold Blood by the Nazis as he died on kashem on the 11th of tamuz 5701 83 years ago the Gregorian calendar date is July 6 1941 but of course we know that the Gregorian calendar is not exactly precise now we see that is mentioning each word carefully because Asim says after his murder we weren't left orphans we were left with his writings we were left with his wisdom and in his wisdom in his writings anything that he wrote we see thatas knew not only what was going to happen during his life and after his death but he literally knew everything that's going to happen until the mhia comes he left us with instructions of how to deal with the times we are living at today as if disclosed the secrets of the future like he did to the prophets it's unbelievable some of the things that he has written and what we're going to be reading today and the Jewish people he says have all types of holidays fasts the exception of the month ofan every every month we have something except the month of which many call why means bitter so it's a bitter month there's nothing to celebrate every other every month we have either a holiday or a fast something nothing but really is actually that we do have a reason to celebrate because that's the time where we change in our prayers to the winter prayer and the sages have taught us that a day that it Reigns are as great as the day that the world was created the Heaven and the Earth were created because we need obviously rain for survival we need rain for the world but the two holidays of kanuka and Pim were instituted by the sages some of which were prophets obviously they didn't just decide this because they liked it there were many other special days in different communities different Jewish communities around the world that were specifically focused on something that happened in that community in Spain in a uh in Yemen different countries have Jews that have special holidays because of certain Miracles that happened in those communities many years ago but they never became holidays for all of Cl there were just special days commemorated by the communities some of which are commemorated until this day like we talked about last week that the uh Jews that are in Spain commemorating the survival from the Inquisition by celebrating pen there are Jews in Yemen surviving a uh a decree a blood liel that they survived by an open Miracle where the kid uh that after fasting for a few days it was a special sadik child that uh literally resurrected the dead in order to uncover the true murderer a lot of interesting things happened to am in different communities but none of them became a law for all Jewish people everywhere except kanuk puuka were special days and Ras says the difference here we see and is that puim is a day that we celebrate with a feast it's a feast day kanuka on the other hand does no Feast rather our mitvah during kanuk is to to thank and glorify God that's the Mitzvah of kanuka now both of these holidays are not just special days but rather these were days that am is celebrates surviving the decree and they're both a uh unique in the way survived in the battles that were fought why was fought and the sages say that these two holidays are symbolized by the verse theid wrote in t number 124 verse number eight where he says that the snare broke and we escaped meaning the decree broke and we escaped as a side story this particular verse anyone wants to look it up and double check what I'm saying the uh Genius of IIT was already discovered when he was just a child he was a little sh he was a little troublemaker but he was was a genius and he was and when he was learning tah the uh the teachers back then were a lot more challenging than the ones we have today and they would give the kids some serious projects but sometimes these projects meant to do one thing but ended up having a different result as we'll see from this story the rabbi told the class okay today I know everybody wants to play it's nice outside so I'm going to give you a task I want you to find a verse anywhere in the tanak that adds up to the total amount of candles that we light on kanuka as soon as the class finds it you guys can go outside and play now of course this is not the days of computers this a few hundred years ago there's no computers there's no AI there's no there's barely books so the teachers in essence giving the class an opportunity to go through the entire tanak going verse by verse each one looking at the verses counting the letters in the process learning the verses but this is like a at least a day worth of work for the class but to his surprise literally within a second little yonan who later on becomes spits out a verse where not only he gives the verse to the rabbi that has exactly 44 letters in it which is the number of total candles that we light on the eight days of kanuka but he even gives him a verse that is identifying and clarifying the situation that the kids find themselves in where the enclosure the box that we're in the class has been broken and we have escaped so go look it up you'll see Psalm 124:8 now this verse is also the one symbolized utilized by the sages to describe the two extraordinary holidays of our survival of puim and kanuka because the Nations tried to destroy us and we escaped so the question thatas is in essence bringing up here why is there difference since we survived both of them from those that wanted to destroy us why is it that one of them is celebrated by a feast like the other holidays of P sh while the other one there's no feast in fact if if you look at the in s 670 in the second Al clearly says in so many words we celebrate our holidays by having feasts but then the adds and says yes meaning some sages also say some sages say that there's also mitvah small one to also do a feast on kanuka even though it's not instituted as a that you have to have a feast on kanuka he says there are some sages that say that you do have a reason to celebrate and have a feast onuk why because on those days there's a reason to celebrate because there was we were able to bring the sacrifices meaning even if you have a sud it's not because we survived the war of the few fighting against the entire Greek army no that's not the reason why we have a s we have a s because we're able to bring the sacrifices so this if anything it's confusing even more first you're tell me okay there's no suda even though it was also a war even though we also survived now you're telling me yeah if you're going to have a sud the reason why you have is because of the sacrifices not because we survived a near demise of the entire of the entire uh people and pretty much the entire world why is this the case says the difference between the two was clarified by one of the sages from just a few hundred years ago who wrote seph which in English translates to garments why did he call it the uh his series ofarim it's not just one little tiny book this is a series ofarim covering endless amount of T was because this was a merchant trying to make a living and one time one of these rich women looked at him and saw how beautiful he was he was a very very handsome person he had a beautiful light to him and she told them okay I want to buy all the different things come to my house he comes to her house and as soon as he comes she locks the door and there's no way to exit the house and she says to him I'm not letting you leave the house until you make sins with me now he knows that him screaming is not going to help she'll just say something to the police and he'll get killed him making a sin it's even worse Hashem will destroy him if not today then eventually what do you do clever as he was this sadik says sure no problem but I haven't eaten anything yet today if you could make something while I go and freshen up I'll go to the bathroom she was which wealthy enough that she even had a bathroom in the house which was not common in those days and she said sure sure she went with her crazy mind started cooking up a feast and the L goes to the bathroom sees there's only one way out of this house how through the bathroom through the bathroom no windows no back door but the bathrooms were a hole in the ground in those days there were hole in the ground he went into the hole of the ground through all the feces and the filth and the garbage and disgustingness he went through all of it and eventually he leads to the outside he went through all of it just to escape this Goya so he doesn't have to go against theem and then when he eventually got to his home as he took out to to clean himself obviously as he took out each garment he calculated and counted how many garments did he wear and he says to hasem to thank you for saving me from going against you I promise you that I will write a seel glorifying your name for each one of the garments that I wore CU each one of these garments protected me from the sin and that's what he wrote the Le the Le is a series of books that is called garments but it's in essence each one of the garments I believe he wore something like 10 or 15 garments that's how many books are in this series of books just understand that has so the L he writes that there's a difference between these two decrees these two holidays what's the difference one you celebrate with a feast one you celebrate by thanking Hashem glor GL ifying his name what's why why is this the case he says it's because the decree of ham was on the bodies to destroy them to kill them to eliminate all Jews and it was not mentioned anywhere that they can save themselves by abandoning the Torah by abandoning Judaism and converting to the Amal religion or or something like that no simply put ham wanted to destroy all of the Jewish people no matter what their affiliation was to Jud ISM but the decree of antus from the Greeks was not on the bodies it was only on the souls he didn't want to destroy the Jewish people he was willing to give them jobs in politics big houses lots of money only one condition what's the as long as you write like a bumper sticker on any carriage and even on the baby bottles which were like horns that from animal horns that they turn them into bottles and that's how they fed the babies right on everything what that you have no share of the god of Israel if you write that you're automatically first class citizen you're in politics you're top in everything that you're doing we're going to recommend you everywhere just say you have no share of the god of Israel he says that's the difference between the two decrees and this is the reason why the way we celebrate them is different and now we'll see says what did our forefathers do in those particular situations in order to be saved from both of these decrees and we saw that in the decree of H that the Jews did not think for a second that they have any other choice other than that to fast and then and fell on her knees and begged to the king anytime it says the Mel it's really to hasem beg to hem meaning that in the decree of ham what did is do they did chuv they fasted they pleaded withm and it never went on anybody's mind to fight against ham with fists with swords I mean technically EST could have poisoned him he was coming to her Feast she could have easily put a few drops of poison in his uh in his wine and blamed it on one of the another big like they tried to kill at some point so now they killed H she could blame it on somebody else after all she's the queen she could do whatever she wants but no at no point did anyone think not m not EST not anybody think that we could fight ham with weapons and there's no such there it makes no sense to say that everyone knew that they don't have the strength to go fight against the enemy this is meaningless he says because they had among them they had prophets at the time of pu they had a prophets among them that the prophets would have known that if it was the will of hem for us to fight against ham with weapons with the war of course everybody would have sacrificed their life and died just for the sake of doing the will of hem furthermore he says even more so when you see on the other side you see the fighting in in kanuka against the Greeks it's well known that the were very few against many of the Greeks and they were weak the uh the Jews were weak they were aim Torah Scholars they were not uh soldiers practicing battles every day against Warriors that all their lives all they did is train for battle and despite all of that the did not stop themselves from fighting even though there were few and the Greeks were many even though they were weak and the Greeks were strong they knew this is the way to fight so on one hand we see the time of ham decree to destroy all of am is and kill everybody nobody nobody says one word about let's fight them with our missiles let's fight them with our army they want to fight we're going to bring a fight to them not one person M prays teaches T does chuv puts a sack on himself gets all the kids together to learn Torah EST says fast for three days I'm G to do chuba beg to the king nobody raise even a fork to kill any any of these amalik nobody do nothing other than du chuba fast forward to the time of kanuka the Greeks saying we don't want to kill you we just want you to stop being religious we don't want to kill you we just want you to cut the p and uh be like everybody else no keepa no pale walk around with shorts and a t-shirt or tank top or no shirt at all and that's it be like us stop covering your hair stop being modest stop being loyal to you your husband stop just be like us Steve can marry Steve Joe can marry Joe no problem everybody could do whatever they want like animals we're not looking to kill you in fact if you do that we'll give you a lot of money and here the few Torah Scholars theim say we're going to fight with the swords and we're going to die for the sake of this battle what about the fact that they're the biggest army in the world and you are just a few we're going what about the fact that you don't even know how to hold a sword we're going what about the fact that even if you be beat a few of them there are millions of more coming we're going what about that some of the enemy are actually Jews that became Greeks that are actually fighting on their side against you we're going so how could this be how does this make any sense on one hand the rest of is does not even lift the fork no knives no Fork we saying the only way to fight this war is by doing chuba kanuka only way to fight this war is by doing Chua and exerting all of our effort to sacrifice our life to kill the enemy so you can't use that as the reason that they were more strong than stronger than us or anything like that says in the name of the because at the time at the time of this war against H the way that hasem wants us to fight this war is not with weapons rather in us doing chuv having inem following in the footsteps of our forefathers the Shepherds and cry out to Hashem but on the other hand on the other hand with decree of an of course they also fasted and did CH and pray to hem but regardless of that they did not they knew that would not suffice but they were willing to go and fight and die in the war we have to learn the purpose the reason behind this difference so up to here is this the eighth section of the writings of RA Vasan and in so many words is telling us this very difficult circumstance that is found themselves in and they fought both battles differently and as a result of fighting both battles differently the battles and the success of these battles the winning of these battles of these wars is the reason why we commemorate those differently but more than anything else is telling us of course since this is all part of the same writing that we have to learn all of this because we're going to have to deal with all of this again in our times today in the era of mhia and the war against am now as we said in puim and decree of ham is understood that fighting this issue is not needed to you don't need to use knives and swords and guns and bombs and so on we have to do chuba why do we have to do chuba because the battle that we lost before this war before this decree was not a battle that was a battle of weapons and so on but rather a problem that occurred Among Us where a had a feast and invited everyone to come and instead of us continuing to separate ourselves from the Nations instead of us focusing on our tah and honoring the only real king the king of kings many went to the party to to celebrate under the excuse that well they'll have kosher food there and they'll have kosher wine there you know in the White House they have kosher food they have invited they've invited us how can we say no and you know that such and such Rabbi went there also and he's coming and everybody went to the party of the go even though we should have listen to the who said don't go that was the battle we lost we did not listen to said don't go and celebrate all of these events of the Gentiles you can send a letter say thank you we can't come we're all busy or simply just not show up at the end of the day there is a uh many nations that are coming and even if you want to show respect you can go and leave but the party was for six months and many stayed there for months not only did they go they enjoyed it they for this said not only did you violate the instructions from but you actually enjoy the sin for that you have to do Chua you have to do Chua why cuz the decree was to destroy Amai cuz Amai was destroying itself so for that you have to do Chua and the chuva is praying to Hashem fasting saying I'm sorry on the other hand when it came to kanuka kanuka they didn't want our lives they wanted our they wanted us to abandon God and therefore we had to look at what do we do what did we do oh look at that many didn't just go to a one-time party many went to many parties of the Greeks they went to the coliseums they went to all of the immoral events and became Greeks like them many that knew that this was wrong did not speak up against it meaning that this problem became an epidemic of the generation where many not only went and joined the green for onetime events for a few months rather they abandoned the Torah Al together and when the gim saw that so many are coming to join them they took advantage said you know what why is there a difference between us after all why don't we all just become one nation just like K came to yob AO after they raped his daughter Dina they said listen why don't we all become one people and the sons of yov said well we can't become one people if you guys don't have Brit now of course this was all a ploy in order to weaken them so they could go there and kill Shimon and lei went and killed everybody over there how could you possibly ever imagine in your crazy mind that we could become one people when you guys think that the way to get a wife is by capturing her as a hostage you think we can become one people with animals like you but they thought become one people the same thing the Greeks thought look you're coming to our parties you're dressing like us you're not modest like us you're immoral like us you like our writings even though as a side note the mames brings that Aristotle who was the main genius at the time of the gim abandoned his own ways and some even say that one of the sages I believe it was raban Gamel or RAB Shimon or raban Shimon I believe that actually helped Aristotle not only abandon his ways but convert to Judaism and the in the name of of of theal writes the M who writes in the name of Aral that Aristotle because he converted because he abandoned his ways he reincarnated as the of anonos was the uh of reos and many sh many many lessons come from the debate between these two either way the Jews at the time of the Greeks abandoned the ways of the Torah and the Greeks took advantage of it and said you know what why is there different Nations why don't we all become one so says since they're now feeling free feeling free to destroy Judaism by publicizing their heresy and unfortunately many are falling for the heresy the only way to fight is not just like the previous generation of doing chuba in this case it's not just doing Chua but you have to fight to the death you have to show that you're willing to sacrifice your life for the sake of the religion to show that the mistakes were not just mistakes you're looking to fix just to save your life you have to sacrifice your life and as shapir comments on and the uh verse over there in chapter 33: 21 the book of Exodus where it's the scene where mosenu is speaking to Hashem and he tells Hashem I want you show me your glory and Hashem says okay I'll show it to you but since you're still human you can't see everything so when I pass by when I pass by you have to hide behind The Rock and he says to him behold there is a place near me you may stand on the Rock meaning says ofin when it's near me when you have a spiritual battle you must stand strong like the Rock and fight that's kanuka that's kanuka but hasem says when I have when my glory passes then you can stand what then you could uh um when when it's in essence when it's your honor that's on the line your money that's on the the line you don't have to fight with your life you could hide you could run away that's pulling in so many words the sages are telling us not all battles are fought the same way the most important part that one has to understand about these battles is why they were brought in the first place why did aadh bring this in the first place this is the reason why it's critical for people to know the answer to the famous question of where was God during the Holocaust and as we've said in the same words as great have said throughout the last 80 years where was God during the Holocaust what do you mean where he was he's the one that did it you should be asking where was is before the Holocaust is was going against hem and Hashem wrote in the Torah in multiple places in he told us about shabat has no share of the world to come gets death penalty you know how many people were violating Shabbat in those times in he was talking about inter marriage and how us uniting with theim marrying them going against hem violating the T going to his idolatry brings complete destruction do you know how many people abandoned the Torah during that time not only into marrying but actually converting to idolatrous religions in says if you treat my laws with casualness and you treat the hits that I give you with casualness I'm going to give you even more hits seven times more am didn't get the Holocaust in 24 hours am didn't get the Spanish Inquisition in 24 hours this was a process in 1933 when Hitler came to power instead of am is realizing that the same guy that wrote The M that's discussing how much he hates the Jews and he wants to annihilate them from the world instead of them realizing we have to leave Germany we have to unite we have to do chuva we have to go back to the footsteps of our forefathers what do they do they were busy fighting each other so much so that the zionists in Israel assassinated one of the leaders of the competing parties on the same day on the same day as Hitler came to power instead of realizing that aadh who just put Haman as a new leader of a place that had the most amount of Jews in the world at that time and you're worried about politics to the point where you're assassinating each other you think that you could resolve the problems with violence so the sages are telling us here that the war we lost before puim was a war where we failed by going to a place we shouldn't have gone to and not listening to D for that everyone's lives was on the line until we did Chua but that was it and we celebrate that with a feast Hashem answered our prayers we celebrate with a feast the war of aash the decrees of aash were very different because a got more and more powerful and got more and more of a desire to destroy the Torah as more and more Jews became Greeks it wasn't a one-day problem it wasn't a two-day problem it was a problem it was a series of problems that became a systemic problems as many people abandoned the BET midash and went to cash advance business as many people abandoned the Yesa and went to do all types of immoral types of Acts in their life as many women instead of building a Jewish Home decided to become career women that only have a pet dog a cat and a teddy bear that she pretends is really her son she had no interest in being married anymore she wanted to be like a Greek businesswoman this became a systemic problem the solution to a systemic problem it's not enough for you to say I'm sorry you have to show that you're willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the same thing you abandoned why because here it's a battle against heresy it's a battle against heresy it's not just a battle for desire of money or no no this is a battle of heresy and the Battle of heresy the battle against false Messiahs is much more dangerous than a battle of a desire for money because they didn't just go to a party like at the time of Pim they started becoming Greeks they started becoming philosophers they started thinking that there's no God or that God needs them or that they can humanize God in some way or another and this battle the only way to Win It Is by sacrificing everything the sacrifice it wasn't enough to just say I'm sorry I'll start keeping shabat I'm sorry or stop wasting seed no no no you have to literally sacrifice every in order for to see oh so wait so when you just threw my Torah into the garbage and went to the the laws of the of the Gentiles the life of the Gentiles and even started reading their philosophy books it wasn't a permanent change it was just a mistaken mistaken turn because now you're you're willing to sacrifice your life to protect that very same Torah okay you all safe you all safe so hereas is telling us a couple of things number one the cause of the battle is a critical thing for us to know in order for us to know what's required for us to win what's required for us to fight this battle the second thing that we see is that the people that are going to fight the battle are going to be the ones that lead the battle have to be unique it can't just be anyone it can't just be anyone that feels like oh you know what I could do it I could just go into the Greeks and tell them no I don't want to do it and then just come home and because if you're fighting against the spiritual decree you have to be willing to sacrifice everything we saw that EST was willing to sacrifice everything modai was willing to sacrifice everything theim were willing to sacrifice everything the followers of theim were willing to sacrifice everything that M was a critical common denominator among those that spearheaded the battles and this is critical in the times that we have right now thatas is clarifying for us because in a Time that we are right now it's not like the times of puim see at the time of puim it was just pure lust of a one- day event a one month event let me just go and justify spending the next four months caring about politics no it wasn't that because for that doing Chua from that will save you from the decree and then you'll celebrate it with a feast because instead of going to the Feast of the gam you'll have Feast with the Jews but the decree of the Greeks only came because you adopted their heresy into your life and therefore the celebration to commemorate the victory 2,000 years later has to be the tool that won the battle which is sanctifying and glorifying God's name it wasn't a feast you weren't going to the Greek for their feasts for their food you were going there for the lifestyle for the ideology you adopted heresy into your life it was a much much more dangerous situation now over the last few hundred years there's been no shortage of battles against Heretics the false Messiahs that we've had over the last 2,000 years of course the worst among them is yes who until this day were suffering from the heresy and idolatry that he brought to the world but he wasn't the last one there is a seph called M the false Messiahs it's a whole huge book of all the different stories of the false Messiahs that tried to influence am is against their creator against their father in Heaven over the last 2,000 years but the most damaging among them aside from yeshu was shapit and shapit the reason why he was so damaging wasn't just because of what he did personally and how he literally influenced millions of people to follow him but it was to such a decree such a degree that even after he died which was he converted to Islam and in order to save his uh life but obviously he lost all credibility even among his followers after he did that because he said that he was going to finish his job by taking the uh the crown of the uh Turkish Sultan and when the Turkish Sultan found this out initially he arrested him uh because he was scared to kill him but then when he realized that everything that chap is saying and doing is even against AR it's complete heresy he ended up putting a death penalty on him in order to save his life shap and his followers a few of his followers that were together with him all converted to Islam and after that he lost a lot of credibility but the story didn't end with him he eventually died completely lost his share of the world to come there's a certain section in the where tried to help his get out of the UHF that was in and when this happened this is some 80 years ago 90 years ago or so one of the uh family members of uh of is the gab our in Israel he told us the world was going Israeli world was going wild at times anyway well Jewish world was going wild at that times when this was happening anyway the sh debacle didn't end with shap because sh had people to follow his teachings and his footsteps his heresy didn't end with him because his heresy wasn't pure heresy where there was nothing true among it if you open a d with him he'll go back and forth with you like the best of them if you open the AL with him he'll go back and forth with you like the best of them he was a but of course he had his craziness that led him off the cliff against the T violating the Tor in Endless ways saying the as if he's saying a regular name uh eating forbidden uh things being with forbidden women all types of things that are against the Torah literally violated every aspect of the Torah but he had an enormous amount of money and support he also had the ability to use Witchcraft and even had support from different Gentiles powerful Gentiles that would helping him making him even more dangerous than anything we saw and if that wasn't enough after he died he had followers repeat in his footsteps the famous ones among them was yakob Frank and who also had the ability to use witchcraft who also had an enormous amount of money and support they were very powerful and also had powerful gim at their fingertips to Institute the law and the followers were so dedic ated to these Heretics that they were willing to kill anybody that went against them one of the greatest sikim that was the enemy of these sh and his followers one of the greatest sikim was RAB Miz was one of the Geniuses of from a few hundred years ago was an extraordinary in he saw sh he saw all of these distort the Tora and he went to war against them because he saw how damaging they were and how many people were following them the main one he went to war against was but he also went against the other followers like a m Cordo and schoon all of these different types of false Messiahs so much so that he wrote five different hashkafa books specifically targeting the fight against these Heretics nowfa books that fight against Heretics are much more difficult to write than other books because when you're writing against a specific heretic then you know that all of your enemies mainly being the heretic and their followers are looking for any mistake you would possibly make word language source and he exerted an endless amount of effort to write these of course he wrote many other but he dedicated a big part of his life to fight against the Heretics he wrote he wrote he wrote seph which was a he wrote this was in uh the year 1714 in Germany is five different books against the heretic and the other sh V followers all being different types of Heretics false Messiahs now among aside from all this he also wrote many ofarim responses about different covering the entire the or the on the 63 he wrote many many but these five specific books that fought against the Heretics took an enormous toll on him and his life and rim palach brings him brings him bring as a source and's called the respon in San 93 and he says as follows meaning the the rabbi that wrote the called which is in the commentary on page 111 Amud four Amud in those days they would have each page each Duff was in essence two pages front and back and each page would have a column so in those days they had four columns so it would be on the fourth column he writes this in so many words the is not only fighting against the Heretics when he was in this world but he makes a promise to anyone that fights the Heretics ever and this promise is also an instruction set where he says know this I'm telling you this that anyone that goes and is zealous against these Heretics only for the sake of the honor of hasem in his Torah and there isn't even a piece of his heart that's biased against this person in order to gain something gain likes gain money gain popularity anyone that's clean of any type of Personal Agenda when they're going against the Heretics when they're going against the false Messiah if they're completely clean of any Personal Agenda and they're only doing it they're only going against the heretic the false Messiahs only for the sake of the honor of hem and his tah then I take responsibility on myself meaning I'm going to be the one that will testify for him in sh that nothing bad will ever happen to him and that a will never leave him meaning I'm promising you that if you're fighting for the sake of hashem's honor and for his Torah against the Heretics against the manises of the world Against The Goldbergs of the world against whoever is going to go and distort the Torah and you're only doing it for the sake of a and his T and not because you're looking for fame not because you're looking for money not because you're looking for any type of recognition but only for the sake of hem is saying I'm gonna I'm promising you while I'm in sh I'm promising you that nothing bad will happen to you will always be with you and will protect you but also see says also see that if you see someone that is zealous against the Heretics but bad things happened to him he died uh in a tragic death or some other type of horrible thing happened to him know that part of his heart was not clean meaning yes he fought against the heretic but part of the reason was because he had a personal benefit out of it he wasn't completely unbiased maybe he's closing some old account against this heretic this heretic perhaps you know fired him from a job threw him out of a Kila or whatever you know took his lunch money I don't know whatever he did to him at some point a million years ago or 20 years ago and he said oh I'm gonna take revenge against him oh see he said something wrong okay now I'm going to go against him so part of what the reason why he's driving him is the old account so here one of the greatest sages that lived in the last few hundred years he's writing something that this is this is a promise this is literally a warning that's comforting why is a warning that's comforting on one end he's saying if you're going to go and fight against the Heretics you're going to be zealous against the Heretics that are distorting the Tor that are repeating what the Greeks did that are repeating what sh did that are repeating what yesu did that are repeating what all of these did throughout all of our Jewish history trying to destroy us not from the flesh but the the the soul within but you're doing it because of an agenda you should be careful why you're going to get hurt make sure that if you're going to be zealous against the Heretics it's not for any personal benefit it's not for any Personal Agenda like oh I want to show everybody that I'm right I want to show everybody that I'm smart if you have part of you that is going against the Heretics because you want to prove other people that you know more than them or any type of personal benefit is telling you you're going to get hurt that's the warning but the comforting part is is that if you have a clean heart and you're only fighting the Heretics purely for the sake of the honor of a and his Torah then you have an assurance of a Divine protection because you're fighting the Heretics for the sake of Heaven this is not coming from someone that is theorizing this this is someone that fought against the worst type of Heretics that ever lived much worse than the ones we have today today they distort the Torah they use the internet and different types of media in order to popularize themselves and enrich their pockets with all types of distorted beliefs and literally a creation of a new religion but they still like to call Judaism or they call all types of other things that make people believe this is the truth but in those days 300 years ago when the is writing this he is in the middle of a fight against people that are Wizards witchcraft Filthy Rich and have some of the powerful guim in their pockets to kill anybody they want to Institute laws to threaten anyone they want and even followers that are willing to kill anybody that says anything against them meaning he is telling you this that you're going to have this protection while he himself is inside a war war against much more dangerous Heretics than we have today so from here we see that yes there is a war but there's different types of wars in past Generations we failed and allowed his chosen people his dear children his firstborn to do Chua but the Chua requirements changed based on the sin when we followed our desires allowed us to do chuva by simply saying I'm sorry committing to not repeating the sin learn learning tah changing our lifestyle we see it in this week's par is follows their desires and goes and falls for the Trap of balak bam balak and Bam sent a bunch of zot bunch of emodest non-jewish women to go and make am is sin started punishing them he brought a plague killed 24,000 people in moments but after Paz fulfilled The One and Only Time throughout history that you were able to fulfill this Mitzvah which is to kill the sinner in the middle of the sin Hashem applauded him Hashem celebrated him blessed him why because had a clean heart he didn't do it because he didn't like Z he didn't do it because he wanted something benefit out of it he did it purely for the sake of the honor of and his Tor and therefore made miracles for the says that made 10 miracles for Pinas one of them was resurrecting him from the dead during that particular act giving him superhuman strength after that he put his on him permanently that's what it says I'm going to give him shalom what's Shalom that's the name of hem that he put upon pinhas why because his heart was clean he had no bias when he was going Against The Sinner and is was allowed to do chuv by simply saying I'm sorry why because they will follow their heart they failed but now you could do Chua but when is made the sin of the golden calf when am Israel made the sin of the when is made the sin the time of kanuka those were sins of heresy those were sins of idolatry those were sins of ideology a sin that led people to change their life altogether it wasn't a one-time desire a one- Time mistake a bad relationship no this was a person going off the D completely and becoming a podcaster talking about how much he hates Judaism this is somebody going off the D and now for the first time in his life deciding that he needs to become famous because he left Judaism this is somebody that abandoned everything and is causing other people to sin for that says that chuva for that is not just chuva like the Sinners of that go after money or go after lust where you just say I'm sorry and I forgive you you have to do that but you also have to be willing to sacrifice your life show me that you're willing to sacrifice your life for the very same Torah that you abandoned and once you do that then you can truly celebrate kanuka the right way by glorifying hashem's name even further not a feast because you didn't fall for the feast sin you fell for the ideology sin you fell for something that's against theem and therefore the the holay is glorifying hasem here we see that the battles that we've had in the past always had a solution but the solution was not always the same the battles that we face today are very very similar to the ones we've had in the past some people have fallen for the Trap of money for the Trap of popularity for the Trap of materialism for the Trap Of Love lust and therefore when they hear one of our lectures or watch one of our films about my personal life the movie Hashem took back his millions or they watched the film tunit or the movie Gom those types of people that have fallen for the Trap of materialism are woken right away are woken right away realize whoa I got to leave this non-jewish boyfriend whoa I got to leave this unethical business whoa I got to go back to Hashem and they do Chua why because they realize they're on the wrong path this is a wakeup call and their chuva path is not easy but it's relatively smooth in comparison to those that fall for the heresy sins those that fall for the hares season where they go off the D after learning in Yeshiva or they simply decide to become a student of one of the famous Heretics we've exposed and become one of hisim and they start adopting his beliefs and his philosophies for them to do Chua is much more difficult is much more difficult why because it's not enough for them to say I'm sorry they'll have to make major s sacrifices the times that we find ourselves today we have to help anyone and everyone that we possibly can do chuva whether it's someone that has fallen from materialism and the likes du chuva or it's someone that has fallen for the Heretics and the false Messiahs we have to help everyone and anyone but the main major lesson that we can learn from Ras and also from that palachi brings is that if you want a chance to win the battle there cannot be any hidden agendas there cannot be any personal benefit that you're looking for as a result of it because if you have some agenda some personal benefit that you're looking for and that's the reason that's the motivation you're not only not going to win and not going to help people but you're probably going to get hurt really bad on the other hand if you come to fight against the Heretics the false Messiahs the missionaries for all types of things that are against the Torah and you come with a clean heart with No Agenda with no desire for personal benefit then you are assured to have Divine protection to the extent where even when they send the FBI to your house the IRS to your house they throw you out of the community they cause problems they turn people against you they spread all types of against you they make up all types of rumors against you they take your CDs that you give people for free and throw them in the garbage they send you pictures of them throwing your book into the garbage they try to taint your name in every way possible on the internet in the community in every way possible no matter what they send you will help you will protect you and will build you to rise above all of them because that is what is needed for people to have some sense of direction of where the forefathers went if we want to win we have to remove bias we have to moove personal interest and when we do that we will see the blessing during the war sure there are different types of wounds and problems and headaches that come in a battle but in the end promises you that you will not fall because he is there to lift you this is what we needed to learn today from on his yard site next week we will learn further more of the significant difference that could be learned from the battles and the celebrations of puim and kanuka and how it has to do with the war of Amal will give us the strength wherewithal and the Merit to continue learning the holy words of elas and all of the Holy sages that fought against the Heretics that fought for the sake of the tah and the honor of and that have helped countless Jews back then and even to this day return to their father in Heaven anyone that wants to help support these lectures you could sponsor a lecture by going to the website be.org you can just donate you could do a lot of different things to support thank you very much for learning with me bless each and every one of you that watches this that supports us and most importantly that applies these lessons to their life life and shares it with the people they care [Music] about for [Music] let's go [Music] wo you're trying to save the sh the the price that's on the line is much much more dear why it's eternity it's not just a few dollars and the reality is that you cannot waste any time you can't afford [Music] to let's go [Music] [Applause] W let's [Music] go simply focusing as much of your energy as you possibly can on people that are interested in getting closer to Hashem don't waste your time dealing with Christian missionaries don't waste your time dealing with people that are anti- Torah don't waste your times with people that are atheist don't waste your time with people that are openly homosexual and are enemies of hem don't waste your time with people that are vulgar and disgusting and simply do want to do not want to change don't waste your time with people that have an ego bigger than this ru don't waste your time with them why because there are too many people that are more humble that are at a position of their life where they realize they need to change there are too many people that are interested in the more significant and more purposeful life too many people like that go to them why cuz they're much easier to get them on board just this guy already wants to get on board woo woo woo [Applause] [Music] woo wow [Music] hey [Music] let's [Music] go simply focusing as much of your energy as you possibly can on people that are interested in getting closer to AEM don't waste your time don't waste your [Music] time let's [Music] go wo [Music] w wow [Music]
