oh yeah
[Music]
partials ballet scar is not only a
dramatic parsha in all of its multiple
stories and narratives but there is also
a scene that takes place in Bahasa that
is unparalleled in the home until that
point and will never repeat itself in
the homage after that point and that is
moisture AB a news unique intense and
emotional reaction in a way that we have
never seen it before and we have never
see it afterwards and it gives rise to
the great question what happened to
trigger such a profound response let's
take a look in source number one we have
a few of the sukham of this of this
parsha
by mid bar Parekura Aleph pasa Dalit
raha scoffs if I shall be care boy the
multitudes of people among em you sir
all among the Jews is advertiser they
crave
they crave a tither craving by your shoe
Vova if Co Gamboa is wrong and the rest
of the Jewish people also return to weep
by Omer what do they say me I feel a new
buzzer who will feed us buzzer who will
feed us meat who's gonna take an English
they're basically searching there pining
they're craving philosopher meat and
then they continue safar new hot dogger

absol inverse assuming we remember the
fish that we ate in egypt free of charge
the cucumber's the melons the leeks the
onions and the garlic the a ton of Shane
Lee of Asia in coil bill T L Homme on a
nano but now our life is parched
there is nothing we have nothing to
anticipate to look forward to our souls
are dry besides the money besides the
mana so basically their yearning with
tremendous nostalgia for what for the
cucumber's the melons the leeks the
onions the garlic and we're looking for
beef we remember so well the fish this
is what they are all crying about and
they continue by you the people so come
later persecuted by East Malaysia so I'm
basically mr. Joyce of Isla pesos a
Hawaii but he's our alpha Shama lead
over any moisture ah my she hears the
people weeping in their family groups
each one at the entrance of his tent as
Rashi says families and families are
gathering in front of their tents to
weep to complain that's a first
interpretation and Hashem is very upset
and in the eyes of Moshe it's pretty bad
and moisture now goes to Hashem to speak
to him by your memory shall I shall so
much' tells everybody sha la la la my
Rio Salado
why have you done evil to your servant
to himself llama the llama limits us see
same banette callosum is called mass
massacre llamas Allah in simple English
why do you hate me so much
what do you have against me
why have a not found favor in your eyes
that you plays the burden of this entire
people upon me why this punishment what
did I do that I am carrying such a
burden and he continues on I see her in
a unique splendorous words Hanoi GRE
CSKA llamas are a man I see led tu que
tomar Eliza au Betty cash or cash ELISA
Jimenez hyena colada Martinez matalava
sir why me that I conceived this entire
people that I give birth to it I'm their
mother
I birth these people that you say to me
carry them in your bottom and your bosom
as a nurse carries a suckling to the
land that you swore to its forefathers
may I only bought some losses La Jolla
mamas where shall I get meat to feed all
of these people key if go Li lame or too
long a bus of and I failure there
weeping give us meat so we want to eat
meat me I only well you come on I feel
Avadi losses column Isaac he covered me
many I alone cannot carry this entire
nation it's too heavy for me it's too
burdensome for me and then my sir says
something that is quite shocking in
kakaako easily fin Kaka at isiliye her
gaining know harrowing in Matassa pain
Bayonetta while Arriba Rossi and if this
is how you want to deal with me then if
you have any liking to me if you care
about me
if I find any favor in your eyes kill me
now
let me not see my own evil my own rom my
own downfall
let me not observe my own tragedy
ah you're calling it a mental breakdown
what those are those are intense words
but certainly it would seem that this is
what we would define in our lexicon as a
complete breakdown a complete moment of
the spear where moisture Avenue is
craving for his own death he says if
this is the situation kill me if I like
if you like me kill me if you hate me
keep me alive the greatest favor you can
do for me is get me out of this I don't
want to be here I don't want to live
anymore moisture event I want to
understand today what happened to
trigger this response
the Jews were crying we want the beef we
want the steak we want the lamb chops we
remember the fish we remember the sushi
in Egypt it was unbelievable I'm using
the word sushi cause it was raw fish
they got it straight from the Nile I
don't think the slaves had time to cook
the fish or actually say sashimi rather
it's probably no rice suddenly they're
in love with the garlic the leeks the
lemon and of course the cucumbers the
highlight of old Jewish foods and
they're crying they're crying is this
the first time this happened is this the
first time the Jews are complaining and
is this the first time the Jews are
complaining about food they didn't stop
complaining about food they're still
don't stop complaining about food some
things never change even when there is
food certainly when there's no food you
stranded in a desert but his response
here is absolutely different I mean if
you go through the history from when my
treviño is introduced into the story of
the people in parts of space he had to
put up not only with complain
but with the profoundest of lamentations
of rebukes of hollow rings of insults of
threats of course of requests of weeping
of crying including about food already
in Egypt he was denigrated he was mocked
by his friends or by his so-called
friends as enemies and then after you'd
see us which I am in the desert if you
just take parsa's beshallach itself one
parsha right after they leave Egypt
after they observe the ten plagues after
they observed the greatest of miracles
after the superpower breaks down in
front of their eyes and they're set free
in that one part should they attack
motion remain no four times and three of
them have to do with food in the
beginning of parches Michalis they tell
much so why did you take us out of midst
I am just to kill us in the desert
how many bleed ain't kibarim there's not
enough graves in Australia we have to
die here in the desert and what does my
shadow Boehner tell them relax all be
good guys shiatsu ruse issue assertion
show me luck um ahem about them talk
Elisha the next scene later beshallach
they come to a place Morrow they can't
drink the water why it's bitter it's
bitter
what does more you should do come star
Shen he gets thing greedy is the right
age the right treat to put into the
water become sweet they move on in the
journey and the Jews are screaming we
have nothing to eat
we have nothing to eat moisture comes to
us and says o my heartless co Mooney
they're gonna stone me but he doesn't
lose he doesn't lose it doesn't lose his
confidence his responsibility comes
Tasha my sham says don't worry we'll
give them on will give them quail the
food won't stop they will be satiated
everyone will have enough in the same
path should they come to refit him
there's no water again they're screaming
there's no water again you have to kill
us sit why should we die from thirst all
at the same price of a shower and
moisture once again gives them water
here what happened yes for me they had
food they weren't even started I had the
month they
for me suddenly they remember the fish
and the cucumbers in the leeks in the
melon on the garlic development emotions
response is completely different and
beshallach say he thought those stone
them he was a leader here something
happens if we were translated into our
language we would say he surrenders to
almost complete the spear there's
something that seems like a very serious
melancholy or depression to the point
that he doesn't want to eat he's like my
life is so bad it's worthless the only
thing that can be better is death and we
all understand what a difficult moment
that must be to bring moisture a banal
who's the embodiment of truth he's not
the drama queen to tell this Tasha what
happened here that didn't happen before
didn't happen later later they're gonna
complain again you know how many times
they're gonna complain by the Moroccan
parsis la fille doesn't ask to die and
pass his career of his own cousin the
leaders of the supreme court all rebel
against him he doesn't ask to die
there's going to be one story after
another story in passions hookahs the
mamie Riva is privileged to go into the
land is taken away because of the mice
so in the water he doesn't ask to die
and then again and again then again
something here in ballet saw and at
first glance they were complaining about
food okay they wanted me sorry many
times before many times after
but now let's see how Shamas responds
Shem here is these words from OSHA says
I'm not that mother I'm not their father
I didn't conceive them I can't carry
them may I only boss so we know I have
need to feed 3 million 4 million people
so what is are some same Shem responds
but you're a mirage ml moisture right
after he says kill me if you like me
destroy me next boss right away but
you're a mere sham Elmo should God tells
much now I would expect the first thing
that some should say Moishe's I'll give
them meat or they don't need meat that's
the issue they're all crying for meat
this is of my sis give me I only bus but
i shun completely st. changes the
subject he has a whole different
response but your Irish emulation us
Wally Shivam ish music nice oo s Felicia
vishwas igneous rock I want you to
gather to me 70 men from the elders of
Israel a Sharia dr. Kim's economic you
know that they are the elders of the
people you respect them they're the
officers of the people but look a story
similar so Maya three sets which are
marked akin to the oil Maya to the
Michigan let them stand there with you
via reality with a bar team crush um we
had salty minoru esaka share a lack of
Assam tea a lion but not to eat have a
mass humble I see subtle evide I will
descend and speak with you there I will
increase some of the spirit that is upon
you and place it upon them some of your
Rua will be transferred or will be
conferred upon them and they will carry
the burden of the people with you you
will not be alone you will not carry the
burden alone and then persecute fasten
on he goes on to discuss the issue of
the meat I will give them meat and they
will eat it and eat it not a day and not
two days a whole month as the Turner
continues in Paris by Lisa Marie she
gathers the 70 people
the spirit of moistures conferred upon
them and the parsec says by a snob ovolo
yourself opposite of love they
prophesized they prophesized in the camp
and then it says the lawyer saw foo
which according to the literal
interpretation is and they did not do
this again as Rashi says they
prophesized only that day and it was all
over even though there's another
translation of the targum but the
literal translations of a lawyer soft
who they prophesize and that was it that
one day
what went on here what's the story with
these 70 elders prophesizing moisture a
bay know is weeping he feels he can't do
this anymore
something tells him that his entire life
is worthless to the point of asking
Khalil affairs on death
the first thing our SEM says is we're
going to hire 70 prophets so at first
glance how do you understand it how does
this constitute a solution so rash she
tells us clearly on the plastic us
Philippe us act as I rap she says you
said I can't carry it alone so that's
why I'm telling you take seven the
elders and let them share the leadership
with you you won't be alone you're not
their mother carrying them alone you
have 70 people together with you it's 71
people that's the literal interpretation
now Shem says we're going to share the
burden we're gonna delegate deer on bond
in his commentary here Ambala is more
specific and looking to sources we have
the RAM bond Rambin Bamidbar pedicured I
love pas secure Dalits safety romba
lorisha yasuo scam him losses lamb Bossa
the elders are not gonna help in give
them meat moisture says I don't have
meat Kimmy I in my embosser where they
gonna get the meat from if it's gonna
come through a miracle then you don't
need seven the elders if it's gonna come
through a miracle
it can come direct from heaven if it's
coming through natural causes how are
these seventy sages can help you produce
meat with 4 million people what are they
gonna become they're gonna create a
sloth toes in the desert what's gonna
help so that's not the issue
vo another issue I feel it'd be ice lamp
an awesome rapper netsim Robin even if
the Jews have many leaders while you
slain a new Rocco moisture they continue
to complain only to my show I shade see
limits Ryan he's the man who they hold
responsible for all their walls cuz he
decided to take them out of its Ryan
Kim in hog on the RAM bans humorous
expression
coming home lamer alumna eldest son of
minutes nyan they have an old good old
standing minute to come to my show why
did you take us out of mr. on the fact
that he appointed seventy nice people to
say no who is a beautiful thing but the
blame as always on mommy on top t you be
responsibility what is it gonna help
what does it go now they want to blame
the moisture for taking them out of
Egypt they think it was a curse it's not
the fault of these 70 people they're not
going to come to them so what are we
gain from these 70 people meet we're not
gonna get from them complaining to them
instead of too much it's not gonna
happen
they're our bond gives two very
interesting insights have a rush of
moisture moisture thought key be a
slamming Higham Robin they can have many
leaders you Shaka who come us improbably
via da brew Ali Bombay stone awesome
basically he wanted to have 70 social
workers 70 therapists will be able to
calm everybody down and that's what the
Redmon says you have 70 people to design
goods distribute them and everyone will
have a group let's work that's what he
wanted that's what's gonna happen
basically the complaints will come to my
show the meet they're not gonna help him
but maybe they can relax the atmosphere
70 people who are leaders they could
serve as as you know psychological
counsellors the F sure or maybe
something else to run bouncers Kakashi
is Nabu asked an omission epsilon a.m.
in our walk VA do arm Keenan money man
when the VM lawyer SAS vocal about Moshe
the you Shalu Tov awesome gamma hammer
or maybe something else he says maybe
once the Jews realize that they're
serious profits they have this direct
line with God maybe those Tigers start
complaining to them if they need meat if
they need water if they need this if
they need that whatever they need maybe
they'll come to them o so perhaps we
don't know what they're gonna do but I
Shem says except knows but he says if F
sir maybe this is the meaning that's
what these 70 people are for that's how
the Rambam explains the solution
Mauritius has kill me I can't do this
anymore that's not my responsibility
Hashem says first of all were hiring 70
therapists I don't know for 4 million
people what that's gonna do but I guess
it's a start
and number two you know what instead of
all screaming at you they'll scream at
you plus another 70 people and the
fascinating thing is most just
completely fine after the story Hashem
says something that causes motion not
only to regain his composure but the
next scene
why sure if I could say this is back not
only to his regular self but to his
unique status of moisture Avenue as the
Rambam calls them myths are mean a new
Shiva the ultimate human being at the
home of iam the master of all the
prophets the ultimate leader the
ultimate servant of God it's all gone
everything is gone you see it in all
over the next flurries in ballets huh
certainly then at the end of commish
what happens right afterwards if you go
back to the sources we see
cough of pus a cover by you sure -
Nanashi lahmacun - a method elder - a
machine he made that two people remain
in the camp elder and maiden and they
also start prophesizing positive sign by
Ericsson Ave Agatha Moshe by mal de the
maiden mr. nabban bam Akana
the young man runs to Moshe because I'll
say he was garam his son and say I've a
elder I made and I prophesizing
biannually sure be new missionaries
Moshe neighborhood may pure about Yemen
I don't demolish the quarry young shuo
whose moistures great disciples says o
out that I may die prophesizing we have
to claw him we have to incarcerate them
we have to arrest them we have to
quarantine them well your mother
moisture what does moisture say one of
the most beautiful expressions on my
Conneaut - Lea you're jealous for me
you're afraid that I have competition
will meet in Kalama Shimon Avidan ket
now Sheamus was a Alea my wish in life
is that a whole nation of God are
prophets I wish I shed confers his
spirit on everyone here motion is full
majesty and is full splendid you're
jealous for me that this to nervion
don't you realize my wishes it will give
out the yeti he chose I none of it I
would love every Jew to experience I
want every Jew to listen to a shams
voice directly we have no glimmer here
of a few moments ago Moishe's terrible
crisis when he said this is the worst
job a person can ever have
and then the next scene Miriam and Aaron
his closest people speak against him
they slander him about his wife we don't
know exactly there's different
interpretations what they said we just
know that they spoke about their
sister-in-law now you know when families
start speaking about their sister-in-law
it's not always so portioned what they
said exactly Rashi has one
interpretation of them a fortune of
different interpretations it's a very
mysterious possible but they attack
moisture and motion doesn't scream at
them doesn't insult them doesn't say I'm
not part of this family anymore
or that's it I'm not gonna show up to
any simplest in this family I'll go to
my wife if I carried by each Moshe honor
of McCullough the Michelle play are dumb
we have her the testimony of who much is
the humblest man on the face of the
earth and what happens afterwards Hashem
speaks about moisture Rubino in glowing
terms like a knife the moisture become a
cinema no he's my most loyal man pal pal
Dabra boy I speak to him mouth to mouth
my Rivoli but see though it's not
through riddles but clearly tuna sashimi
a bit he looks at the image so to speak
of God whom I do a lawyer racing with
Abbeville even wish and Miriam becomes
him it's a rasa left round Watson wishes
next move he goes tiresome like he old
good good old mice and he Davin's for
Miriam kale Nara fauna law and Miriam is
cured after seven dead Miriam was cured
after seven days she's back in the cab
and all as well and then slack starts a
whole new crisis and moistures there
with unwavering leadership commitment
dedication Hashem wants to destroy the
Jewish people and my sisters no no no I
chose the silastic it were a friend and
career up again destruction plagues and
moisture of Amos stands up and he
defends and Alcoa atha have you chef at
the aft of alkaway the tickets I've
moisture completely is back to his
unique status is the unparalleled lover
of Israel leader of Israel teacher of
Israel greatest prophet greatest servant
of Hashem and humblest man on earth
something happened yeah
[Applause]
and I'm not awareness it's just they
asked it for meat and it just moisture
feels there's no hope
that's what happens Russian yeah
[Applause]
I think it's fair to say we have to
understand what's the story here
what's the depth of the story let's even
analyze for a moment the two answers of
the Rambam they're very interesting
answers of the Rambam but really they
raise new questions and that is we're
looking for therapists we're looking for
people to carry the burden we're looking
for people they can complain to moisture
screaming I'm all alone we have already
been there and practice is Roy mullahs
father will came to visit and in
practice Easter day right according to
Rashi it was a day after Yom Kippur the
year that they left mitzrayim a few
months later according to others Easter
came earlier there's a a can't be
format until they came after Martin
Taylor and yesterday sees walk moisture
sitting alone and judging everybody and
he uses these words my Duarte I should
love vadhaka
how can you sit alone wait over the Raja
toys it's not good for you to be alone
novelty boil you're going to wither away
you're gonna wrap you can experience
that can a person can't do this
Easter what does history tell him to do
delegate appoint leaders appoint judges
of pouring thinkers appoint sages and
all the quarrels all the issues if it's
not major if it's not pay panic let them
deal with and manisha follows history's
advice he does exactly what you say
didn't so that was already in place
they weren't navee him it's true they
weren't prophets but they were sages
yesterday gave great criterion Moshe
Rabbeinu testifies in the bottom that he
chose unique unique people
extraordinary people so what happened
here suddenly he wasn't alone he had all
these people this is just a few months
later what happens so you'll say your
Ambon gives a second answers not only we
need therapists we need traffic so they
could complain to them because it's
people who can talk to God
a rabbi won't do the job but judge won't
do the job a prophet will do the job but
one second how long did they prophesize
for how long one day allow yourself was
all over
mommy look Maya but the Canarsie was all
over may live they became prophets and
there would be prophets for good saddle
they set the rule for one night what he
we don't even know what they said for
one day sudden how they were mini
marshes and then it was all over but let
yourself ooh by a snap of a lawyer
sulfur was all over so what happened in
this people that he appointed in
yeasterday remained the leaders these
prophets are prophets for an hour for a
few hours for a day Rashi says that day
and that's it while your suffle they
didn't that they didn't increase it
didn't add there was no way something
perhaps they didn't succeed although it
doesn't say that perhaps he didn't
succeed besides two guys Elvan and me
that and they now that the problem Isis
like that's wonderful I wish everybody
could be like that but what about the
desist then avium weren't killed
we just know there's no information for
that right people right but it wasn't
all Jew wasn't all Jews obviously it was
a certain group there were there were
few types of people but a probably
wasn't the prophet I mean it doesn't say
that anyway doesn't seem that way the
safari rights Romania vada offset
Farnham is trying to bring out how them
a forum struggle with this he said the
only objective in appointing 70 prophets
is basically they will repeat what Moshe
says cuz they'll be prophets like him
and then the Jews will see you know what
it's not only moisture there's another
70 people who agree with him
that's basically the whole point they
keep on blaming Moesha Moesha Moesha for
all the decisions the 70 people who
agree with them and it's also difficult
to understand they're coming and
screaming about meat so there's 70
people who agree with it they're not
disagreeing with his laws they're
disagreeing with their situation with
their life what is accomplished through
these 70 people and the real issue is
that everything is solved and there's no
trace or glimmer or residue of this
terrible moment of despair that just
took over moisture up in
I want to learn with you at Isis it's a
second to the last source on the page
placed with Shabbos Tov cooked si enema
Dolloff fascinating commentary entices
everybody knows passions my license is
unique that there is the pursuit convite
he Ben Sawyer are earned by your memory
so that we say when the Turner is taken
out there's 2 silliman brackets what do
we mean brackets on upside-down none
which would look like a little bit like
a C in English before and an upside
known after so ye bin cor and has one
upside noon in the safe attire and the
end after the next bus ik Subash M
remember southeaster all is another
known and the question is why what's the
point
so the Gemara says amiss after Shabbos
coughed are Zion one opinion says Lahav
Sigmund Puranas Lapera knows we want to
interrupt negative energy before that is
negativity after that is negativity now
after that the negativity is clear did
you start complaining miss Eileen them
and then they start weeping about the
meat that we just discussed before that
doesn't say anything negative it just
says that it was the 20th day of year
and the Jews began traveled and they
left the mountain of Ascham heresy night
and they traveled a path that takes
three days by heben so you are in Vienna
Russia where is there anything negative
about that
now let's remember the historical facts
the Jews leave Egypt on taissa they come
to har Sinai when recite their seven six
weeks later a week later they receive
the Torah 49 days 50 days after the
exodus of Egypt 40 days later they don't
waste time they create the golden calf
just a few months after you see
estimates right the next day moisture
breaks the Lucas you're in Kippur six
months after the exodus of Egypt a few
months after math until he comes down
with a new locusts he tells them to
build a Michigan for six months they can
they gather the material they gather the
material in a day or two they start
building and six months later a toy -
listen the Mishkan
is erected it's a great day it's a great
moment and subscribe
and partially me it's described in
Patras not so again a lot of things
happen there's tradition isn't including
the death of the two sons of Aaron nada
Vanna vu this is the first anniversary
of you'd see us miss Ryan that year they
will make a carbon pay stuck in the
desert the only time there will be the
Mitzvah of Pesach Shanee for those who
are tummy when they're making and the
reason their tummy the gomorian suka
brings different opinions they'll cough
a cough of whether the death of mother
and IV where they were carrying your
stuff siren or a mace Mitzvah
unrestrained this year Hashem tells
moisture to count the Jewish people
that's the beginning of my mid bar
where's Troy this year this is the first
anniversary after you'd see us miss Ryan
it's one month after the erection of the
Michigan count the Levine Gaussian cajas
Murari we just learned about that in
Paris now sorry and on the 20th day of
ear it says in violence car they move in
other words they remained in the same
place for almost a complete year missing
10 days from Ricardo 7:00 till the next
year tough year they were in one place
camping by the desert near hi-c night
where they actually received the Toyota
where they made the Golden Calf where
they built the Mishkan there was a place
that was filled with a lot of action and
almost a full year later the 20th of
here suddenly the cloud that was always
hovering above them rises it's time to
leave my Yi soo may Hashem and then it
says my heaping so you are so the
Gomorrah says you want to interrupt one
negative occurrence from another
negative occurrence what was negative
the cloud went up they left so toaster
says look traceless second to last
source piranhas Regina is vie yeast 2
may Hashem the American inertia
tsurumaki Rochelle why is this as they
left says places Kadam marble Madras the
Metro says vias ooh Shanno samara scene
i Derek's lucious youngin doesn't say
they went three days says they went on
the path of three days in one day they
did were usually due in three days
Cuttino coyote say my base are safe like
a child who leave school you ever saw a
child leaves school go back to your
childhood years what do you do
said boy they are loyal employee the
teacher says dismiss the bell rings kids
don't sit on the desk let's meditate a
little bit let's hang out in school so
enjoyable we love this classroom they're
out boy today after they run they run as
fast as possible if the potential would
be that they would never return
Boreas boy look what kind of car you
burnished to me I seen identical a shish
youngin luffy shalom new hybrid terrier
bosina hi-c night was a school and it
was too long it went for almost a year
and when the cloud said dismissed how
did they run did they run katinhat
operation base are safer that's the
first peroneus the second one is they're
screaming about the meat so a middle we
have I even say our and two upside down
UN's now this is a fascinating
illustration of huzzah whether they come
up with this example comparing the Jews
to children running away from school
that's how they left her scene I it
could have said they didn't were
interested in Tyrell is too heavy like a
child who runs away from school I'm here
but the moment they don't have to be
here it's all over and I'm not just
leaving I'm gonna leave with passion to
demonstrate how much I really dislike my
school experience you should just
realize don't thing that the problems
with schools happen today people think
that all the problems happened today
this is a mice of three thousand three
hundred years ago and shan't change and
was exactly the same problem in a very
nice school moisture was the Russia
Shiva Aaron was the school therapist you
see here they hired at seventy
therapists to be with them but everybody
was running away just a little
we say the good old days they were old
they weren't always good some days were
good some days were lousy but the good
old days if it's old it becomes good
simply cuz it's not here what's not here
but comes in our imagination very good
simply because it's not here you could
talk about it with nostalgia like
somebody told me once he says even
today's nostalgia is not what it used to
be like
so let's try to offer one perspective
and this size it's based on various
sources including a lovely and very
insightful Shearer I thought that I
heard from the former British chief
rabbi Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and some
other sources and insights but I think
in many ways this tysonis captures the
idea and I want to learn with you
another Gemara Baba Basra i inhaie
Amidala the last source scanning Shiva
ayyadurai Rama where the gomorrah says
when moisture passed on yahushua took
over the elders said her name aisha
keeping a comma today are you sure kappa
elevon face of moisture is like the sun
the face of your shoe is like the moon o
allah i sebou sha allah isis Clemmie
what a Shanda what a disgrace to have
your shoe in lieu of motion it's like
you'll take away the Sun you'll give us
the moon and he comparing they saying
tell them there was a debate what is
greater the son of the moon so for seven
days and nights they debated it and the
verdict was that the moon is much
greater than the Sun because the Sun
shines during daytime when you don't
need it the moon gives a real
contribution it shines when it's
nighttime so this is a hell of a miser
but the Jews looked at yours sure they
looked at moisture and they're like when
a moisture company common air show
company lavona like we say it's never
gonna be the same it's never gonna be
the same the moon is a nice creature we
have nothing against the moon but we
know that the moon is the moon and the
Sun is the Sun the moon is dark matter
it's just a reflection of the Sun and
one day we'll even get some an
astronaut's to plant a flag on the moon
the Sun nobody comes close to moistures
the son yahushua is the moon according
to baba BA certify inhale huh nostalgic
right nostalgic yeah
in order to appreciate all of this let's
recall the historical context a year ago
they left myths right it was not a small
event it was a unique event in world
history like moistures going to say in
parties versus c'mon honey occurred over
a godless as this ever happened
Hashem should come la consciously go to
take a nation and liberate it and reveal
himself to the nation it's a unique
historic event which came with lots of
drama lots of fanfare lots of
supernatural events the 10 Marcos the
splitting of the sea and of course the
highlight of all Matt and Tara the mana
the clouds of glory the water the well
of Miriam and all of the other things
that happen in seifish mice as the Jews
are leaving Egypt they become Martians
nation they have a breakdown as a moral
breakdown a spiritual breakdown they
create a golden calf they're almost
destroyed moisture again as their
ultimate defender he achieves
forgiveness vmi in machinima sifri huh
and ultimately the relationship is
removed second looks are brought down
and a new reality emerges they build a
michigan for months they build a
michigan for us Allah make this Russia
hunting the size hump and a year later a
spider Schneerson the streamer comes
into the Mishkan
they have now in their midst a permanent
sanctuary with the divine presence
dwells communicates to Moshe Aaron and
his children the clay and serve in the
Michigan and there is and there is a
certain closure of a renewed
relationship after a full year of
experiencing what no people ever
experienced before and we know no people
will ever experience after Matt and Tara
happened once and will never happen
again
UCS mitzrayim happened once the unique
intimacy and relationship they
experienced with their creator of the
world moisture obey no as I said the
scribes and pouches verse Canon is
absolutely unprecedented
and now it's after the 20th day of year
they're about to leave and the Jewish
people are crying and moisture I've been
who listens to their crying what do they
want me I feel a no boss where's the
beef
holy the fish the cucumber's the lemon
the garlic the leeks this said something
to my son that he never heard before
this touched him in a way that it didn't
touch him before Masha can deal with
challenges
moysha can deal with sin my can
deal with failures with mistakes with
errors even with revolutions with
mutinies with complains of course with
questions and with challenges of all
sort from within and from without he has
done it successfully
he faced Pyrrha who was his own
stepfather in many ways or his own Zadie
grew up in the palace he faces a Moloch
he faces enemies from without he faces
enemies within unwaveringly successfully
unapologetically as the most humble man
on earth without pride without arrogance
with complete dedication to the cause in
this moment the partial is by lysis a
moisture saw something else
moisture saw a complete failure of his
mission of the Jewish mission of the
terrors mission you have seen everything
you have observed everything you have
seen God face to face you alienated
yourself from God you came back and
renewed your relationship with God God's
presence came back into your midst you
have had a year that was saturated with
such an intimate relationship with
Hashem that it's even inconceivable to
the ordinary human being all the veils
that creation are based on all the
concealments were suspended in this
relationship that you expect
with Hashem and after all this what are
you talking about you're talking about
rib steak you're talking about sashimi
and you're talking about garlic leeks
cucumbers and lemons what happens here
is moisture a Bain who asks himself is
my entire work not worthless not futile
and the point is the plastic says even
more that he sees the whole nation buddy
filaments Picasa so rashly gives two
interpretations one is they were crying
families were crying and what's the
second interpretation they were crying
for the fact that they can't have
promiscuous incestuous relationships are
eius with their families as a result of
ma tante de so basically at this point
they turn to mush and they say this is
ridiculous that we can't have these
relationships with siblings with parents
with relatives all over the promiscuous
relationships what we call Gili are
ayahs and what motion of a new feels
here is that he achieved nothing he may
have taken them out of godless betrayal
but he couldn't take him it's Ryan out
of them he may have taken them out of
physical subjugation and bondage but the
internal mentality of Gullah the
mentality of the slave of the person who
is narrow
who is petty who is small who his entire
reality revolves around lemons with
leeks garlic and beef and a fish that he
got free in Egypt he could not take them
out from the mindset of smallness and
mediocrity to be able to see their
destiny as the mom left his claim and
the guy called it as God's people to
change the world and this broke motion
away that nothing broken when he tells
us my Ocala Vavi lasse says collar
masasa those words I cannot myself carry
the burden of this whole nation he
covered me many it
too difficult from me he doesn't only
mean that the burden is hard
well Oh Kalavati I'm one man I can't
deal with four million people there's
something much deeper that he's saying
like oh how Avadi losses as a messiah
you know what I feel like I don't mind
being a leader he's led them through
thick and thin he stood up he stood up
against Hashem a vehicle to protect them
that or even their ego what he felt is
I'm the only one who carries the burden
of Claudius wrong the Destiny nobody
else cares nobody else gets it nobody
else relates to me I'm lonely I'm lonely
I'm not just a lonely leader I'm a
lonely individual in the sense that the
entire Jewish people that we've been and
what are they we think about mastica
flesh the issue wasn't that they wanted
meat you want me come fashion Oh give me
that happened before they wanted water
they wanted food they wanted he gave him
acrylic that wasn't the issue
the may I only boss sir is not where am
I gonna get meat if you want to give
them meat I'll give meat
what broke motion event was devastated
motion Avena was that at this moment he
felt he had nobody to speak to he
accomplished nothing may ieave me boss
sir this is who I am this is what I came
to the world for to serve people meat
this is our destiny this is the zenith
of you disguise that at the kiddush
we're gonna have the best Harry at the
bar mitzva the symbol we're gonna have
the best meat this is the whole sewer
that they got you'd see us mr. and pedis
yumps of RC nine God's reality after a
race of Lebowski assemble well that Kim
a night of honor but ultimately Judaism
is reduced to how was the kiddush was
there beef from who the dips were good
no dips I'm not going to that show
anymore
now for somebody who doesn't experience
another Judaism that is what it's about
that's how you define a show that's how
you define a rabbi you know that's how
you define it for most Rubino this meant
that the entire vision of creation the
entire destiny of the Jewish people
which is radically transcendental it's
revolutionary it's transformative
it's about tricks transforming the whole
world was sucked in a lumber mouth was
shunned Allah dude who as we say Rosh
Hashana v8 that called pokey ought to be
outta the oven call utsuki at the
outside to the oven for your email
caller shemish some of APRI are similar
case told Melissa Melissa become marsala
and not only in a dictatorship fashion
but the point is to reveal in every
speck of the universe and in every speck
of the soul the kakapo even if all the
essence the source the cohesiveness of
all reality the oneness - Emma huh -
Maya hurt you sit fine
you stumbled fine you have questions I
got it the darkness gets to you the
enquiries like she doesn't have a
problem with that
the set a ego problem fear of a too
strong but here he felt what do they say
it's like the people are just completely
not there with me sometimes you have a
leader who works his whole life to make
a dent to make a change and then looks
around himself looks on the right looks
on the left and if I can quote the
plastic but you think Khloe but Khloe by
our DNA there's not one person I was
speaking to he looks at his whole life
and he has two words to say about it
well Hevel
villarrica I never wanted a job remember
I was shepherding flock in a desert
for us it's hard to understand that in
today's generation that a rabbit doesn't
want to be a rubber and a leader doesn't
want to be a leader today you have a
mayor who could spend a hundred million
dollars in order to be reelected it used
to be there Eva's were the happiest if
they didn't have the job it's hard for
us to understand why should've been I
didn't one and it was a punishment for
him he kept on telling a sham it's not
for me I don't need this not because he
didn't appreciate what leadership is not
only because the physical issue the
worst is the spiritual issue I have to
deal with the rest of my life with
Dawson with a veeram with Kai rocks a
leader of the status of moisture doesn't
sacrifice a xylem hase
Sahab it's ara he sacrifices his Elam ha
bond he sacrifices his relationship he
didn't want it and now suddenly he did
it
Hashem Stern you're the man you're the
man and he looks at the people and they
had everything they saw everything and
he felt it was all la heavily Valerie
after everything said and done people
don't change and it's like the mice say
they say it about the Rambam some people
say it about somebody else the message
is what matters you know the story that
that one of the girliest all was arguing
with some non Jewish philosophers if you
could change the nature of animals and
they took a cat and they trained the cat
for a long time to the point that the
cat will carry on its back a tray and
become a waiter at a fancy gourmet feast
and as the cat came out with the tray on
its back they they felt that they
triumphed and they showed this Jew ah
look look at this cat but he had a
little box he took it out of the bag and
he opened the box and of course a little
mouse came out of the box and the moment
the cat observed the mouse
flipped over the tray and they went all
the beautiful food and the cat became a
good old cat and just ran after the
mouse
and this is really a question about
people Charles Darwin and his Origin of
Species
where he basically postulates that we
have evolved from primates concludes and
he says one of the probably I think he
almost verbatim I don't remember exactly
but very close to what he says he says
one of the most important ramifications
of my study of evolution is that there's
fundamentally no difference between the
animal and the human being because if
our elta Alta Alta say there was an ape
and the elta Alta Alta Bubba was a
monkey and there L felt that Bubba was
another primate all the way back to the
first gases and bacteria so there's no
fundamental difference it may have taken
another few million years or another few
hundred million years until the homo
sapiens and evolved but essentially
there's no difference and it's that
moment where you look that after all the
changes upon changes we remain
ultimately the same the slave remains
the slave the petty person remains the
petty person they can experience God
they can experience truth that can
experience transcendence they can
experience cosmic kiwanis they can
experience enlightenment and education
and the profoundest way to the core of
their being but then at some point they
turn to mush Labe know and they just say
where's the steak where's the ketchup
where's the barbecue sauce
why is there no sauerkraut what happened
to the mustards life is not worth living
life is really not worth living and
moisture doesn't have what to say
moisture looks at them and it's like I
don't have time this to you
he comes to us and he says kill me how
much paint I missed but this is the
matzah this is a situation and this is a
crisis that he never faced before it's a
different type of crisis
moshe was not the only great man who
wished to die if you eat Kanak which is
a good thing for jews to do once in a
while there were other great people who
wish to die remember who the MK / we
read about one of them Yona Yona tells
us Shem after he forgives nin today I

this is you me AHA na vi's one of the
greatest prophets one of the greatest
men of God the one who gave us the book
of year me Yahoo the book of a car near
me o Hanavi these are his thoughts
these are his feelings
how does Hashem respond to this giving
the Jews meat will not solve this issue
ken's they get inflation it's not about
the meat it's about the person not about
the hungry emotion doesn't care if
people are hungry he wants juice to
Ethan Ethan Ethan be satiated outside
call others he has no issue with that
it's not the meat it's the people it's
the mindset it's the pettiness how does
our son respond to this and here comes a
unique moment in the life of moisture a
unique moment moistu experiencing
experience is something that very very
few people in history experience for one
moment
you know what Hashem does Hashem shows
Moishe Rubino
the influence that he had on 70 people
for one moment not for long
Moisture Devine who is going to observe
what impact he had on 70 of the greatest
Jews whom he knew for one moment he saw
70 people prophesizing from his Ruach
from his spirit from his energy
something of his personality of his
ruthless of his neva of his godliness of
his holiness of his goodness he saw
mirrored back to him he saw a reflection
70 people became his mirrors when he
looked at them when he listened to them
he saw a reflection of himself
they were prophesizing God's words from
his navour from his rule for one moment
he received feedback of all of his work
of all of his labour of all of his
teachings he saw what his inspiration
does to people
he saw that he created profits he
created Naveen he created people who
hear the voice of God who experienced
the message of God who see the world
from different lenses they look at
humanity from a different perspective
they look at earth and heaven in a
different way what is a Navi
Navi we call love is a delusional
meshuggener right but what's really the
Navi the Navi is the person who doesn't
get distracted by the static of rip
steak and sushi and he gets to hear the
perspective of God in the universe
that's what a Navi is and for a moment
moisture urbane who sees what his
inspiration did to these people they
weren't avium out of nothing it wasn't
stahma miracle these were people who
were tell me them of moisture Ravana and
Hashem allowed moisture to see in a very
revealed and conspicuous way the
influence he had on them now usually
that wouldn't happened why because
moisture is this song and what happens
when the Sun shines I'll tell you a
personal Vaart I heard from an
interesting character at some point a
few years ago somebody warned me that if
I don't go for voice lessons at some
point I'm gonna have to stop speaking so
I went for voice lessons I went to a
fellow in Barra Park who came highly
recommended they said he's mom-ish a
great professional and voice lessons
there's quite a few as though his name
is Hassan Einhorn do lost anyway I spent
a half an hour with Gaza nine or you
want that I should tape this session and
every day or a few times the week or
whatever once a few times during the
week I should play we still used tape
stem the sternum of rock Allah I lay in
my shoulder
cassettes yet and and you tape it then I
should listen to it and do the practices
the exercises over again so that the
next week when I come I should be after
all of the exercises
you know fine and he said if you want to
learn how to speak you have to learn
from a dog how a dog barks that's
basically how you should how you should
speak in terms of using your your the
right the right sources the heavy la
llave the chambers of the heart rather
than the vocal cords themselves shite of
course like a good Jew thinks he's busy
I didn't do the practices during the
week he can't I came back to the next
week he says new did you practice I said
no I said no so he gave me a piece of
his mind
Rosella shiny Hakadosh he says you know
what your problem is your problem is you
think you're a star and therefore you
don't have to practice and you don't
have to follow orders and you don't have
to be obedient think you're not gonna be
a student but let me tell you something
the greatest singers in the Jewish world
all come to me as students and they all
obey me but your problem is you think
you're a star but let me tell you one
thing about this office here the Sun
shines and when the Sun shines there's
no stars so me being the person I am
maybe somebody else would have got
insulted I thought that's great for my
next Russian so it worked it was fine at
Angus tree and it went for more but
whatever but the voices are good for it
can a moisture kept in a summer when the
Sun shines there's no stars you expect
that the 70 stars should show up and
tell my Judah Boehner by the way you're
having an impact on us in the presence
of the Sun people melt people are silent
people are quiet they didn't have the
audacity they never the hoods we didn't
have the guts to show up before my
shant's say by the way my son you're
doing good work you changed my life you
impacted us nor did they perhaps know
how important how relevant it is to my
Sharabi no but what Hashem does is he
tells moisture these words
says vote south demon are you a fresher
Alice of Assam tea I am for one moment
I'm gonna let them grow and show you the
spirit in you the way it's reflected in
them and you'll see how you change
people's lives you'll see what type of
students you have and you'll realize
that even after you may leave this world
although he didn't express himself that
way your life will continue for eternity
you have planted seeds and they will
continue to grow he enabled moisture to
see that someone is going to care for
those things that he cared about and
that's why he says Binoche to eat cup in
my Samba Lisi Santhal of Edessa
it's not that you're gonna have help
you'll have 70 people that they could
scream at then or you'll have 70
therapists only he really had help from
purchase yesterday you'll be able to see
that you're not alone in the world that
your voices was not the head of the
lorry it was absorbed by somebody it's
not that your words just balance back to
you and no one is really listening and
ultimately in a moment of truth you have
made absolutely no difference you're
going to see how you change somebody
you'll see the impact you made and
you'll realize that that impact is
eternal you'll see that they also care
but not so epic ah you're not levar down
soshim gave him the greatest gift which
other people have not been given
he let moisture obey no see the
influence he had on others he takes the
spirit that's on my sham puts it on them
so he could see the difference he made
in one group seventy elders and you know
what happens when they prophesize Valois
awful moisture of a new does not need
anything more
he doesn't need their help he doesn't
need them to continue to prophesize he
needed a transparent glimpse of how his
spirit has communicated itself to them
and then he knew that he made a
difference little could he know this on
his own
could he know on his own when the only
thing he encountered from the Jews was
basically complaints rebellions
challenges hollering and screaming could
he know that he had such a decisive
influence on people that 3,300 years
later were still studying and living by
the words that he transmitted
could he have known that could he have
known that he helped forge an identity
that would prove more tenacious than any
other in the history of mankind could he
have known that from hindsight it would
be showing that he was the greatest
leader that ever lived
he couldn't have known these things all
he heard from them is we should have
stayed him it's ryeom and died and died
and died and you're guilty for doing it
what he needed to know is that 70 people
internalized his spirit and he knew that
his life was not in vain he had
disciples his vision was not his alone
he transmitted it to others others too
will continue his work after his
lifetime that was enough for him now
moisture could face any challenge with
serenity with confidence with optimism
Eldon and may dot Miriam and Aaron the
Marah Glen Coe rocked and everything
that will come after Moira Boehner was
so in a glimpse that unique limps that
he was not alone lion crying in the
desert speaking about truths that
ultimately nobody really could relate to
nobody can internalize ultimately at the
end of the day people were just a catch
that was chase after mice and when they
had a moment of gossip and of slander
they would go right to it and I think
and of course a different level many of
us can relate can relate to this
sensation because sometimes when you
look around you you can observe of
course present company excluded but you
can observe such pettiness coming from
people who you would expect greatness
from you know sometimes you invest in
people you invest in a community you
invest in a relationship you invest in
an institution and twenty thirty years
later you can get stabbed behind your
back in reality or in your perception
and you're like ultimately the
corruption is everywhere the same the
negativity is everywhere the same people
are the same self-centered narcissistic
beasts who care only about themselves
some people use God as a crutch and some
people don't use God they just say
they're atheists but even the people who
use God are just using God to be able to
promote their goals and their agendas
they may have different language than
may have different words they may have
different memoria kazow but ultimately
when push comes to shove when they're
challenged at their core you don't
change anything nothing changes and that
can create a very serious breakdown for
people who care which is why so many
people stop caring they become cynical
how many people do we speak to openly
they may stick around but they're just
cynical at their core they learn to
trust nobody and nothing because at the
end they don't observe sincerity in a
very deep way and they feel that terror
you despair doesn't really change people
it puts people in structures and some
people are doing good things and those
structures but ultimately nothing has
changed and when the mouse comes out the
proper moment the cat will go chasing
after the mouse the question is how
expensive is the mouse but that question
is only how much not if it's a question
of when what moisture Rubino has to see
at this moment is it's not true not
everybody only thinks about steak look
at 70 of your talmidim
who will forever be different listen to
their words and see
they're prophesizing they're speaking
God's words but it's all yours
it's from your spirit it's not an issue
of ego the same Turner says he's the
humblest man it's an issue if God put me
in a position wasting my whole life
accomplishing nothing or actually we can
change the world together and from
moisture who cares about the cause not
about his ego he cares about the cause
when he saw that the cause has no future
had broken when he saw that the cause
has a future there's 70 people who will
never be the same and those 70 people
will create more people so formation of
a new that was enough and the crisis was
over it was over and you know I think we
could learn something very profound most
of us have a ancient Jewish custom is we
don't give feedback we don't believe me
criticism yeah but we often don't give
positive feedback or completely positive
feedback I'll ask you all a question
think for a moment about three people
who influenced you most in your life
positively not negatively positively
three people who made a serious positive
impact on your life maybe when you were
four maybe when you were 14 maybe when
you were 24 and when you were 44 but
three people who not only in all and
fine people but people who made a change
in your life maybe something they said
maybe something they did maybe something
you read maybe something you heard but
they absolutely made a change or maybe
even transformed your life and I want to
ask you a second question do these
people know about it
do these three people know how they
impacted your life what do you think the
answer is for most people these people
don't know in most cases these people
don't know did you ever tell it to if
they changed your life why did you never
tell it to them the answer is when the
Sun shines there's no stars first of all
it's a sense of you know Who am I one
I'm gonna come and tell you by the way
you changed my life
am i that important they're leaving here
if you changed my life big deal and
second look probably maybe hears it from
other people and second of all it's
vulnerable to say you changed my life is
vulnerable it means I owe you something
forever we don't like to be vulnerable
we like to be macho
to tell somebody to look them in the
eyes you know thank you you who do means
thank you right
it's the same word like confession I dog
and tell you does the same word thank
you and what's it what's the connection
confessing means I lied to you I'm sorry
I stole I'm sorry
i gossiped about you I'm sorry I did
something wrong to you I apologize I
mistreated you it's BET Mozilla thank
you thank you I think it's really the
same thing
a real thank you is as vulnerable as a
confession because a real thank you I
don't mean pass the tissues thank you
pass the comers thank you I mean to be
able to look somebody in their eyes and
say thank you thank you
in that profound way it's a very
vulnerable experience it's much like I
don't that's another reason we may not
do it
maybe there's other reasons but all the
reasons are wrong we should communicate
to people what they did for us somebody
sent me a poem that a Bar Mitzvah boy
once read about his parents at the Bar
Mitzvah
and he titled it when you thought I
wasn't looking so he said like this when
you thought I wasn't looking you hung my
first painting on the refrigerator it
was messy it was ridiculous I'm adding
that but you hung it on the refrigerator
and I wanted to paint another one when
you thought I wasn't looking you fed a
homeless human being and I thought that
was good to be kind to strangers when
you thought I wasn't looking you baked
the birthday cake just for me and I took
notice that you cared for me in little
things when you thought I wasn't looking
you said a prayer and I believe there
was a God that I can always talk to when
you thought I wasn't looking you
kissed me goodnight and I felt loved
when you thought I wasn't looking I saw
tears come from your eyes and I learned
that sometimes things hurt but that it's
alright to cry when you thought I wasn't
looking you smiled and it made me want
to look that pretty too when you thought
I wasn't looking you cured and I wanted
to be everything I could be when you
thought I wasn't looking I looked and I
wanted to say thank you for all those
things you did when you thought I wasn't
looking even the greatest leaders even
moisture a banal have to be able to hear
that their work that their sacrifice is
not in vain it's not futile it's not
meaningless it's not worthless even they
deserve to hear that they're
accomplishing something that day's a
night of giving of sharing of teaching
of communicating the Word of God is
going somewhere it's making a dent in
somebody's life they shouldn't say
cursed is the day that I left my
mother's womb how you aim higher a
solemn rock my should have remained
eternally pregnant because my life is
just one wasted one wasted potential you
know I want to conclude with a story
mama
I'm I said they eat himself told a story
it's a very it's a very special story's
name is gieux Hooda today he's a real
estate very successful real estate
dealer in Israel he served in the Yom
Kippur War and during the time of the
Yom Kippur War I think right after the
war a few months after the war he and
his platoon patrolling the Golan Heights
that Israel took from Syria in 1967 war
and in the goal until today there were
many what are they called my field mines
and he stepped on one of them and in the
explosion he was wounded badly with a
helicopter they took him to the hospital
and to save his life they amputated both
of his legs
for a few months he was in a coma he
wasn't conscious and when he woke up one
morning he lifted up the blanket and he
saw that he's missing two legs and he
screamed in horror and the nurse came
running in and he's like what happened
to my legs and she's like wow thank God
you woke up you're speaking you're up we
didn't know if that's gonna happen and
this Jew described the aftermath of what
happened to him
he basically sunk into a terrible
terrible depression because he felt that
you know his life his functional life
came to an end
he said his mother he went back home
ultimately his mother would cry all day
and his father was quiet his father was
one of those Jews who didn't believe in
talking sure some of you know that style
especially when it comes to painful
emotional things spot he said I don't
know what was worse my father silence my
mother's tears says his friends would
come over they didn't have what to say
nobody looked at him in the eyes they
would sit and the first opportunity they
could leave they ran away jumped in the
opportunity you know somebody else came
of the telephone rang dove the nurse
came if he had to go to therapy like he
felt like you know they they couldn't be
there for him in any way he said Israel
of course you know they paid for the
expenses a veteran and a wounded veteran
what do they call them Neff hates AHA
the fates of how the invalids of the IDF
of serve argon ally Israel and he said
he told the story publicly they felt so
bitter he was bitter he was angry at the
entire country and it was an emotional
response he felt that he gave everything
he gave his life he gave his body gave
his neshama for Erick's Easter all for
ISM for the Jewish people and they
couldn't give anything back to him in
return a few years past it's the summer
of 1976 high dish of I think it was
gimel of around August August 7 is Tov
shah mahmud Evolved 76 around the
hundred and fifty a few hundred one
hundred and fifty I think maybe a little
more of invalids of Siham came for
at or to the US you know to see
interesting places that was sponsored by
/ the Israel or by some donors to Israel
they came and they went they so
different people different experiences
and it was today it's done pretty often
common dinner was a real unique thing
you know the world wasn't where it is
today and and there was a very special
experience for them to get away you know
to be nurtured to see interesting sights
to do some interesting things and so
forth one of the places that came to
visit was 770 Eastern Parkway in the
Crown Heights section of Brooklyn to see
the lubavitcher rebbe and for those who
remember it was a very unique there's
also photos of it it was a very unique
moment they emptied out the whole
downstairs of the shoal of 770 and it
got filled up with wheelchairs all over
them more in wheelchairs it got filled
up with wheelchairs and the rebus said
he wants to come down and speak to them
and he came down and it was him with all
of these these soldiers of Israel and
the Rebbe spoke not in Yiddish that
wouldn't do much for them
he started his speech in Hebrew and he
said he said something I apologize then
I'm going to speak bahasa Ashkenazi's
I'm going to speak with an Ashkenazi
pronunciation because that's what I'm
accustomed to I'm not accustomed to the
Sephardic way of communication so
forgive me but I hope you'll be able to
understand my words and he spoke I don't
maybe for 20 minutes 15-20 minutes a
very very moving moving talk one of the
things he said then was that as a Jew we
have custom that we mix into other
people's businesses even when we're not
asked
so he said based on this you know
time-honored Jewish custom I'm going to
mix into your business and suggest that
you changed the name I don't think the
name the fates of how suits you because
nothing means the invalids of Saha and
really your name should be changed to
Mitsuyo nade so how which means the
exceptional of zom and i'm not saying
this as a feel-good you know you're not
an invalidity of course they're invalids
he said I
very sincere why so he said everyone has
ash litters in the world everyone has a
mission in the world when Hashem takes
away from somebody physical resources
they still have a purpose in this world
it means that he compensates them with
unique resources spiritually
psychologically emotionally and morally
to be able to fulfill their mission in
life and in that sense there's something
unique in you that nobody has and by a
Jew there's how Cabarrus hot surah
al-kahf claimer then a shaman the goof
the goof is a vehicle of the soul so
what counts mostly is your internal
spirit and in that sense there's
something absolutely exceptional about
you and that's why I think the name is
mercy innate silent he spoke of
different items different subjects as he
finished he said I want to ask
permission if I can have the honor to
approach each of you and give you a
dollar to give for sadaqa as ash little
smitson when you come Terrence is wrong
and of course they were very happy now
usually the rebel would say that people
would come to the rabbit here that
wasn't possible so it was very moving
their ever walked around the whole show
and he went to each wheelchair and he
shook everybody's hand and he gave them
each a dollar a few dollars for sadaqa
and it was very noticeable that he said
something to each one of them later
later I heard years later that there
ever said something else to each soldier
this man who lost his legs in the Golan
Heights was among those people and he
said when it came to him the rebus shook
his hand and he took both of his his his
hands represents have put this man's
hand in his hands and he caressed them
very very warmly and then he looked this
man straight into his eyes he said he
looked straight into the eyes he said I
have seen generals they have seen
commanders I have seen great people but
there was something I saw at that moment
a sense of majesty of royalty of
aristocracy and his blue eyes were so
loving and full of compassion and he
looked me straight in the eyes and very
slowly he said
thank you thank you basically thanking
him for what he has done and he said
that was all I was waiting for I was
waiting for somebody to look into my
eyes and just thank me nobody could give
me back my legs and nobody couldn't
restore my body to what it was but just
really with their whole neshama just say
thank you for what you did for the
Jewish people for what you did for the
Jewish homeland for what you did for for
millions of Jews to protect them from
enemies that want to destroy them every
day he says I want you to know I went
home and it gave me a sense of dignity
and of optimism and of empowerment I got
out of my depression I got out of my bed
and I decided I need a new job can be a
soldier exactly
he went into real estate real estate he
could sit all day and sell buildings
it's good to run around sometimes but he
couldn't run around and he became
extremely successful financially he
spoke with me very very successful
financially and a man of of great
spirits and he's finished a speech he
said some days I wake up in the morning
I pick up the blanket and when I see
what I look like I want to sink right
into the depression and then I recall
that man's thank you a rebus thank you
and that thank you gives me fuel that
gives me the engine to get out of bed
than to continue my day and when I heard
the store when he shared the story I
thought to myself now how true it is in
so many people's lives you say something
to somebody you do something for
somebody you never get feedback but
years years later you may hear you may
never hear that it made a serious change
in their life this soldier never got
feedback never got that type of feedback
the rebel looked at him when he went to
all the soldiers and he understood
this is what he needs this is what he
deserves it's not only what he needs
it's what he deserves Moisture a banal
got that from Hashem at that moment we
can give that feedback the people who
changed us just like when we would hear
that feedback from people that we
changed it sometimes transforms
everything because you could live your
whole life planned seeds and change
people's lives and you never realize it
but even when you don't realize it you
have to realize it's the truth this is
what we learned from the story it's the
truth even if you don't know it and that
is no word as in veined no gesture is in
vain no tear is in vain no smile is in
vain no sacrifices in vain its plan sees
it creates differences and it makes
dents in people who are sometimes
selfish petty narrow-minded narcissistic
foolish dumb oblivious and clueless
you'll continue any other adjectives
that you would like to share about
humanity but still have a soul and when
we become conduits for the Word of God
we touch them in that place in ways that
we know and usually much more in ways
that we don't know thank you very much
how a wonderful
[Applause]
thank you
[Music]
Oh
oh you got her
