Not About the Nukes: The Torah Explains the Battle of Israel vs. the World Today

Heat. Heat. [Music] I'm like to dedicate this year especially to those um unfortunate carbonos that happened this past week with Sahal and over distress of the uh confrontation within our own people where a young boy was shot in um outside of Byaman area and Mavin for the for the peace and of am is which we need so desperately at this time. So I want to pick up last week apparently uh this year was very um highly watched and I wanted to just recap very quickly and then move on to what I believe is the next thing the next thing. So we asked last week like what's going to be after the 12- day war like what's next and the the bottom line is that if you look at both the McGillah Esther there was a process by which first Hmon was eliminated then several months later the decrees of Hammon were countmanded and then close to a year later there was um literally regime change in many med because Morai I became the de facto president of many countries as being the second in command to Akash. This notion of second in command to Akash vero resonates very deeply as a results of this 12-day war. And that is you saw something was very very unusual maybe hasn't been as blatant since at least in in in Jewish history since those times did happen in the Spanish middle ages and that is where you had a very powerful Jewish leader who was a military leader who commanded armies and provided security and wared with nations. but under the guise of a higher authority. So I'll give you a particular example. You know we speak about Mori. He's we said last week he declared war essentially on all the amino. These were states. They weren't as we may may have thought that they ran around attacking individual uh sonro you know they didn't just go into you know to to this particular um city and that particular city and seek out individuals. These were organized armies that came out to def to to defeat the Jewish people. Much like a Hezbollah, much like a uh Syria, much like an Iraq, much like Iran itself, Houthis, Gazins, you name it, who are organized militias who had to be fought by Morai, by Morai's decree. And then Gillis says beish that Morortei was a fearsome figure among the non-Jews. Now let's face it, you know, Jews usually don't cut a fearsome figure. You know, like they they you know, they say was a Jackie Mason used to say a joke. Laabdull used to say, "No, nobody ever made a walked down the street and said, "Oh, there's three Jewish accountants there." You know, no, nobody's afraid of, you know, not in quitzarts anyway. But now things have changed because especially with the self-earned power, royal power which I said was the royal power of the house of Shaw which was a really the first monarchy within Kal Israel that organized as a nation to fight wars as an a complete nation not individual or its kufos. There were many combinations of which during shaft but but uh never in the form of melik as we know and uh there was an example of that with Shimul Hanagit. Schmillanaged was a very very unique figure and he was the the uh vizier of Granada, the the city state of Granada which was under a Muslim king and that Muslim king allowed him to be essentially his chief general and he fought many wars and he steered clear of various politics. It's a well-known episode in Jewish history, medieval Jewish history. Take a look Hanagid. And he not only was a great warrior and politician in that he won battles both in the field and both in the palaces of rule of rulership, but he also was the god had at the same time. He was a sample of what David Melof might have been like. We actually saw a sample. He was a a um prolific writer. He wrote Jewish poetry about his wars much like a like his own book of Tahillim. And then he also wrote a secum which was a I would call it a precursor to what would later be the tour the Rambam actually and the tour later much later um but not that much later is the Rambam where he takes the entire Torah and codifies it and calls it Hilasa he wrote a secum of halafa okay he didn't do it the way Rambam did it where Rambam um much like in a rabbi like fashion unpacked everything and reorganized it in a logical sequence but went by you he followed the traditional order he didn't reorganize it in a methodological way which was which was a breakthrough and and and a guide make to make it easy the Rama essentially created an index to to the entire Torah and organized it logically in his kazaka Hanag was similar. So there are experiences, we have history where when we're not quite in our own malus, but there are echoes, I'll call it echoes of malus, Morai under um you know um we mentioned under his vizier and other occasions like that. And now we have Netanyahu and Trump which is a very very interesting analogy. If you want to look at the the events of the 12 days and its aftermath, 12- day war and its aftermath, I don't really like to call it the 12- day wars. I think we're still in the Simha Torah war and and to me, I I'd like to look at it from a wider angle and to say and spend a moment with you just reflecting on what really has been. If you notice, however, the 12-day war I thought is interesting because it's double six. Six is and then comes Shabas. But the reality is is that yeah, even this episode is linked to the Shabas war. You know, six it started on an ultimate shabas. Okay, now we have their as it continues to unravel, but essentially it was a war against in a sense of Torah, denying the validity of Torah, denying the joy of being a Jew who has received the Torah and also violating the sanctity of the Jewish people in body and soul. The only time we ever saw that in history before the Nazi era uh of course many many pgrams throughout the ages and isolate incidents but biblically only a male mutilated Jewish bodies. that's on record by Khazal that they actually cut the Milos the circumcisions off their captured um you know their their captives those literally it's it's it was a it was a simas Torah Shabas war incident October 7th war incident in which people were mutilated in such a way in their reproductive areas in in ways which was unheard of in cruelty and unparalleled in evil. So, it's a classic battle against Israel. But interesting how it's playing out now in this seemingly awkward partnership between and at times highly strained and and highly unpredictable as was with Morai. uh because had a relationship with Morai the whole time he sat Bisharame Mori was always a minister always was the servant of the king akash but that didn't mean that he and the Jewish people were favored or had any sort of malus he had individual dignity much like Ganil had Mich all those who were forced to serve the king above but not because I think let's take what I'd like to take a look is the bigger picture of what has happened since October 7th through this episode, okay, from the lens of some of our makuros and and let's understand a little bit um the bigger picture of what's really going on because it's a lot more than the bombing of a nuclear site, which which doesn't really indicate all that much because even if they did set the program back, right, and there's debating and now there's all kinds of leaks and stories and counter estimates. That's not the point that we're that's a maka as we said last week though we haven't gotten to what yams kas yamsu is the regime change so a lot happened to parro much like a lot happened to kumini he lost all of his benarim he lost all of his uh you know his his uh proteges but there was no regime change parro rema remained alive after makas bakaros Even though he was a but it was by design because said parro I'm going to make parro's heart hard that he's going to get an even deeper defeat meaning complete regime change. This was not the end. Much like the macos did not terminate the rule of parro at all. In fact he was able to regroup within seven days. and and at that point 7 days later I mean even if three days he regrouped after three days he started to regroup and after seven days he already had Kali show back in his clutches you can expect much of the same you can expect and we've seen it already that in Iran they strike a defiant pose they claim victory they regroup and mazu what have we done right that we accepted this ceasefire whatever it was no We're going to go on the offense. We can definitely expect that. But we have to hope as in biblical times in times of the Torah because as tell us, you know, that the Lavo follows all the patterns. The Torah establishes archetypes and patterns that spin around in history but are the same. In other words, they'll different eras of time, different epochs, different names and faces, but the essential struggles remain the same. The essential issues remain the same. And the triumph that we're looking for is essentially the same. Triumph is is the shame, right? Shayim, right? We are the first to demonstrate it and others eventually and the whole world will follow. And that's what we say every day in Alenu. I mean uh that the the all of the that's the end game that's when we sing Shira and that's when parro comes to the realization that Hashem who Elohim by the way that bears out in an incredible medish that says that the king of Nineve who we read about on Yam Kipper in the story of Yona was none other than the than parro survived rived and became king not in Egypt in the western part portion to the west of Arch Israel but to the east of Arsel in the city of Ninve. Oh wow. Tarsish is also in the Middle East in the in the Mediterranean. Yeah. So he becomes Melik and the minute the Ni shows up akin to Moshe showing up he does immediate chuba. So parro has been chastised has learned his lesson. He's completed his chuba. We read that on Yam Kipper because it's a model that we all need to follow. Parro, it's very interesting. Parro becomes our dogma of chuba. He becomes our paradigm which you learn from parro. Parro got it. He got the makos. He lost quams and after that wasab the minute and he went to such an extreme. Parro did you know what he did in in say for Yona? It says that they put sackloth and ashes on the animals. Can you imagine the horses are running around instead of with saddles and all these things they're running around with with big day aos you know they're coming with the they're nighing to the what do you want from the animals says I remember very much says I remember very much what happened to my animals what happened to my horses and what happened to my cows and what happens to my sheep and I don't want that to happen again I want to show hashem I learned my lesson from all the macos of bod and and suspro I get it. So this is means that everything that happens has to has to conform to easily recognizable and ingrained patterns that Hashem has taught us through his holy Torah throughout the centuries not only from theukim but also through the various mishn etc. So, so let's take a look if it's true that we're positing that this is that that the Akash Morai tandem is similar to what's happening today because indeed Akash was the was the emperor of the world and it's true that he had a very strong vizier or assistant and uh the world was recognizing that and what happened was is that Morai became a feared figure because he was a military figure he literally took took up the cudgels of King Shaw who also was a military figure. So that means that the battle is somehow joined. It's very interesting to note that the ultimate partnership between the world of Edom which of course is Christianity and anything related to Christianity today and the world of Claudius Israel was par the paradimal relationship was rebi Antonyinus and is spoken about not by accident again here in the gammorism of Baba of Odora that we've been reading in Domi We speak about the imperial Rome and so on. And the point is when he passed away, when Ataninas passed away, Rebby declared a very sad thing. He said how unhappy it is that the bundle had the bundle has un has become unraveled. It was a bundle. It was a team. There was a camaraderie. Rebi and Antonyinos were exchanged twins. Some say that Antonyinos was substituted for Rebei, right? Because he because he wasn't circumcised. So when they came looking for the Jewish baby uh Rebby, Romans came and they came looking for for him to to kill him and kill his mother, they presented instead uh Antonyos uh who's who we identify today essentially speaking pretty much 100% is Marcus Aurelius who was a who was a successor um to uh and to Nun the the pious and it was uh it came after the era of Hadrien and he actually um was a was a wonderfully independent thinker. He wasn't a balora at all. He was a philosopher king and he had many interesting conversations with Rebi which you don't have to go into detail here but one of them that we learned about was that he would ask advice from Rebi on political affairs and personal affairs. He asked him how to handle his political rivals and he also asked him how to handle his daughter who was promiscuous on every level. He bowed down and let Rebi walk on his back to get to his bed. Now Trump should get there if he ever will. Remember that can only be listen carefully if that Jew is rebike. meaning it's not necessarily a figure like Netanyahu but one of the great Sadikim which there is a relationship uh one thing I noticed this week was Giml Thomas as you know that's the site of the of the last gimmel Thomas we just had it was just uh Sunday Sunday is Gimmel Thomas today's Monday yesterday So if you recall, President Trump went on Gimmel Tamos of last year, one year ago, okay, last June to visit the graveside of the Labaverei on his yard site. He was brought there by members of Kabad and also the commentator Ben Shapiro, if you recall, came and he was like being matar game a little bit, but we have the videos of him standing by the side of the kever saying tum with the amicon and doing and putting a kit. This is unheard of. And the person who just recently visited him both Sonaro from Argentina, he he basically wants to be a convert to Yiddish through Kabad. And he gave apparently when he visited us and they went to the Kelto. This was just like week or two ago, a framed picture of his visit with the Rebi. And then Trump put out a letter as they presidents generally do. But this letter was very interesting and telling. Congratulations. And Natano also put out a letter um you know remembering the rebi from his personal encounters. This is something Trump and Natanyao have unusually in common. understand this aesher to a great and worldrenowned not only Tom but Mar even you know legendary leader they say in the name of Rabbi Salovich that he said about his generation which was primarily 60s and 70s you know dominant in them you know ended kind of ended in in the late 70s early 80s were there were three prominent figures one being himself Rabbi Yosha Salvich Shiva Rabbi and Zetal and Mosha Feinstein and he would say of and they were all of course close with each other and respected each other in greatly in every way. So they say in the name of the ravik he said there were three leaders in this generation I'm the roshiva of the generation I am carrying the tradition of of talmudic thinking going back to khim brrisker from I carry the name of the brisker dynasty salvichek and I'm the great bashiv of the generation can learn teach anybody who's going to teach on the highest level that you can teach many will emulate and even look into the many volumes of his shurim I don't think there's anybody who is truthful to themselves um unless they're some sort of superlative personalities of the generation. But a regular rash and a regular Oshkola will not go into she without having looked at Salvatik's notes because he's going to say I'm missing a a very basic piece of Torah or something to understand. He's on the roashiv of the generation. Then came uh where Moshe finds Jesus says he's the post of the generation. It's much like Cohen like Moshe and Aram you know Moshe the the the teacher of Torah Mosher Rabenu. Then you have Aron Coy who's also the Posek. But then you have the Manik the Melik, right? The Melik is is from Yehuda is from uh that's a grab Nosi. And that person he said was actually somebody who does emanate from the Davidic line. The the the Rabbi Sal Rabbi um Schneeren says he's the he's the leader or the Nazi. Okay. So that is the three uh figures that um keep them in your mind because they hover over this these conversations between our current day leader in Israel and in America because there's a connection. There's a connection and that really is what's moving in behind the scenes. So let me explain. The notion of perfecting the world cannot be accomplished in a military way because we say what do we say vov is we say he also has a very big connection to prayer and ultimately it is not going to be decided by military might that's not our conceptualization of what we would call the final regime change. Yes, I'm a I'm more like must proceed it. And yes, that is military. But at the same time the rest of the world has to be brought into the equation with love and understanding and wisdom and that's more the model of that really represents the rebuilding of the B in reality and that means and uh I read the name of of he said Msiah will conquer the world without firing a single shot his will be a nonmilitary victory people will listen to him, come to learn wisdom, be uplifted in their humanity and reason and uh and they'll want to put down their their tools of work. Okay? So, we are not there. And people who think we're there, we are not there. It's a it's a it's an evolution which which is going on. But here's what is going on which is a wonderful pathway and segue to that next era which is hopefully coming soon in our day any any day and that is the world conforming to the instructions of Hashem for mankind in the form of the Torah but more specifically the seven noight mitzvah sheen. Now there were three major challenges to the authority of Hashem. Okay. One of them was the m the generation of the flood. Okay. Two was the generation of the tower above son known as dorha fluga. And the third one occurred within the Jewish people and that was in the aftermath of the moraglin. Okay, Kori emerges and that argument on the validity of Moshe which we read about just a couple days ago in in the para according to the Maggala mukos we mentioned this very briefly last week was a reincarnation of those three episodes. In other words, Korak had predecessors. It was the same maket, but it advanced through three stages until it was largely reconciled. Now, I'm going to prove my point to you the what the malamukos is saying through a simple Mishna in Sanhedrin in per it starts off. Every Jew has a place in the world to come. Now this does not only mean this does not mean to exclude non-Jews. It just means every Jew has a part but of vada non-Jews can earn ahaba. It just means every Israel is guaranteed a place in ohabah. Whereas for the nations of the world it depends on their actions on their choices on their okay but a Jew has an inherent uh portion of the world to come. Of course, he can lose it, but it would be it's not. In other words, as they say, it's yours to lose as opposed it's yours to win. That's the difference. Every Jew's given a portion. If they don't blow it, they'll get it. If they don't ruin it, but a non-Jew can e is not guaranteed, but can certainly earn it by the virtue of their choices. And the proof of that is that the Mishna then goes asks, okay, and it goes through these exact examples and they're not random. They're really not random. It goes it goes like this. It says, I can't tolerate this type of behavior forever. He brings and then it says the generation of Nimrod where the protagonist was Nimrod and Aram as opposed to Noah versus the world. Okay. And then the the next thing that they bring is Dora Midbar. Their rebelled against Moshe specifically lists out two examples the Moragim as well as Korak. You can it's right there in the Mishna. So if you want to read the Mishna as random, okay, fine. I'm not arguing with you. But if you want to look at it from the context of the Maggala Mukos that this was not disjointed parts, this was a progression. This was a mathematical progression. So let's take a look at that for a moment. What does that mean? So Kazal tell us that the dora was uh right and their fate was sealed because of kamas. Ironically kamas represented the complete disregard of any boundaries of any rules whatsoever. What's yours is mine and what's mine is mine. And the mabble by definition means the eraser of boundaries. Shayim and arets were given strict boundaries by Hashem. The arits can't overtake the yams. The yam and the yam can't overtake the arits. That's what Hashem created that perfect balance says that Hashem made that differentiation as he made a differentiation between day and night. Hashem created and there is no kadusha without goulim. It doesn't work that way. Is the operative word if you are to maintain order and kaduca in the world. However, if you refuse to obey Hashem's natural boundaries, even to the point of deviating not only in terms of immorality with Asia is or with others, but even within the species of animal world, man with animal, mammal with man, man with man, woman with woman, whatever it might be, those boundaries are for a reason. We were given the braha of purvu mulosarets. That goes for humankind. That goes for the animal kingdom. You're not allowed to be misar. You can't neuter an animal for no good reason. You know they do it in veterinarians have a big problem. If you're a firm veterinarian, you got a big problem because you're guess you can only treat animals that belong to and even that's not according to the there's questions whether a can even have an animal neutered because they're also mitsuva in these ideas which were given to Noah. there and Noah already was given that of and so on was given to nassent mankind. In fact the is if a non-Jew has children and does conversion along with his children he gets credit for Jewish purvu. What do you mean his children aren't even related to him according to there's a one unique way they are related to him that he gets credit for the mitzvah of fulfilling provide because these are human mitzvah so they all upgraded to be Jews big deal there's still a filiality there's still a connection between a father and a son at least on a mitzvah level where he has already discharged his mitzvah of of populating the world which is a human thing it's not only a Jewish thing was reiterated to Kali Israel but it's the first mitzvah given to mankindisha got the first six mitzvah so the the challenge of the dormab is that they refused to accept God's creation they didn't they didn't want to acknowledge God's creation they said created the world we don't care we do not accept the master of the universe Even if he's a creator will will grant you the fact that he's a creator. Um but he has no uh control supervision den less dess he could care less what happens in the world. We can do whatever we want with impunity and mix up all the boundaries of holiness and nothing will happen to us. And Hashem says that's not going down because that's not the purpose of this world. Personal world is to develop. You cannot develop anything without discipline. My saintly uh first father-in-law, Rabbi Rabbi Wilfit Shush, Rabbi Zev Shushad of Montreal, who was a sadic of a person, he once uh gave a shir in my sh of schol on the upper west side when I was a rabbi there back in the day and he used the analogy about a tennis game. He says, "A tennis game is not a tennis game unless you observe the lines." Like if you can land the ball anywhere you want on the court that's there's no game. The game is that there are boxes and you must keep the ball in the designated spaces when you return it. Otherwise there's no there's no points there's no game. There's no anything. He said that's the analogy to mitzvah. Everything is random. It doesn't really matter. So uh is what we said recently in the dafomi that that hashem forgave the nations of the world when a came along from even being responsible because they weren't holding by playing the game. They could not maintain the boundaries. Only through a connection to a would they be able to learn to discipline themselves, develop their souls to the point where they can keep boundaries. Okay. So if that was the generation of the Mabu and that was versus Noah, okay, who was carrying the Chevitz. Now came the next generation which was versus which is versus Aram, the first Jew. Nimro versus Aram, the first Jew. What was their what was their rebellion exactly? They said we believe in God 1,000%. We believe that Hashem brought the mobble to the world. So there is a judge and there is punishment. We get that. And we're not going to violate the boundaries that Hashem created. However, we will not allow our power or our mortality to be up to Hashem. Hashem, you created the world. Great. You made certain rules. We'll respect them. But my life or my death and my huga and what I want to do is not up to you. human human power in the unity of man because that's what they were. They were completely unified. They say if we can unify mankind as one, we can then overpower the will of God in the world. As if to say, Hashem can overpower individuals and maybe even individual nations. But if man as a whole, all of mankind would stand together as one, we will have the ability to overturn God's will. That was their thesis and it's played out in the medish which says that they said to themselves well it's now like 100 1,656 years after the mobble. So um you know oh in the year 1656 came the mobble so it's going to come now an anniversary of that. We better get ready by building a giant tower to to put support on the sky. What are you kidding? What does that mean even support? No mobble for us. So obviously the metaphor is that they say power, human power will just force it. They if you don't want to build the tower, they they they threw you down. They didn't care how many people they killed. The main thing is the collective. Individuals mean nothing. Individuals mean absolutely nothing. We But the collective is more like a communist concept. We are all one and we can defeat the will of God together. That was their folly. And of course, everyone comes to say, "No, you can't. No, you can't." and his adversary was Nimrod, the ultimate force of power who teamed up with Khadar Lomar, who quent of Yakub Weineberg is none other than Hammurabi himself, who set lots of laws and boundaries, but human uh decisions on life and death. And and uh Aram proved them wrong. With a handful of dust, he defeated the four armies according to Kazal to show that the power is the power of Hashem. Not not mankind cannot overpower God. Now and then come then came the third which is which is Kora. So the Malamukos said that remember Aram went around looking for 50 individuals in each of the five cities of stone. He said those 250 people he was looking for appeared in the mlo of Korak. Those were the 250 people that were killed by the fire pans. They reappeared again. Wait a minute. So that means this is a rebellion against God and against his na'vi. The first maflokus was against you know man versus Noah. The second maflokus was Nimrod versus Ara the dor this is now Korak against Moshe. Now what is that? And the 250 men and and Dustin and what was all their issue? Korak said as follows. I believe in God. I believe that God created the world. I believe that God is the ultimate power in the world. I even believe in the holy Torah that he gave the Jewish people but between us Jews there is no one greater than another and more than that even in Hashem's to so among us we have our say on to Shabbal which is correct in a certain way. Yes, Hashem gave us the Torah and now it's ours to elaborate on. So Korak then started to logically attack various mitzvah and mock them and mock the way Moshe was interpreting them which was directly from Hashem. It's it's reminiscent of the um of the episode of Mosher Rabenu going in to see Rabaka not understanding Rabaka's incredible drot uh out of lifting halos out of the out of the tag and out of the crowns of the letters of the Torah because for Mosha everything was pure clarity. Of course, this is shot or had to recreate it intellectually with human logic. Korak was absolutely not to be outdone in human logic. But the bottom line is when Moshe went into the sheaka, he was very upset. He says, "I don't know what this is going on over here. It is not my way of doing things." Until he heard Rika say, "This is the sorry, it's not based on our logic. It's a kaboa from Moshe." and Mosha's heart was gladdened. This was the debate between Korak and Moshe. Moshe said, "Through no fault of mine, Hashem has defined the Torah along certain lines. Just because I gave you the Torah, doesn't mean that there's not a mass to go along with it, which we call the oral Torah, the Torah al which is why in my thesis when when Korak was swallowed alive, right, it says two things. So the the earth opened its mouth and then the mouth of the of the earth swallowed him. If it opened up, what do you need a mouth for? Just close it up. Close it up and they get smooshed in between like we read about in this week's para. The amori were hanging out in the mountain cliffs and then Hashem squished the mountains together miraculously behind the scenes. and Hashem, we saw the blood of the Amori seeping out. Why wasn't that good enough? Why do we need a mouth for? So, I'd like to suggest that first of all, Korak's seductive words. It was his mouth that led people astray. His words and and also his argument was against the oral Torah, which the he was swallowed by a mouth because his argument was against the oral Torah. So let's look at let's look at a little recap of this. You ready? If the mob was against uh Hashem having any rules, right? Even if they're just mitzvos, they don't want to accept any rules of God. Complete mobble. Second was a little more subtle. We accept the rules of God, but we feel as a unified force, we can overwhelm that. That was the next generation. The third iteration of this mahok was korak saying we believe in God we believe in his Torah but each and every Jew has a right to determine Torah according to their own terms but we all heard God from Sinai so Mosherenu you're really no better than us and that denies the misora of the oral law which is the um the ass of of halakic Judaism and what makes us different from anybody else in the world the three stage makus now very interesting on this note and I'm going to get back to what's happening overarchingly because these three stages really represent the three stages that we all have to go through the world has to go through to get back to the place where it needs to get to ultimately the repair of the world is through the Mosherenu through acceptance of Mosherenu and Mosher Abenu is the pose gador the rabbi of the generation mo of the generation especially the Rabbi of the generation who goes out of his way to regroup and and connect the souls right uh uh wherever they might be you know so that is the stage that we're on which means God's goodness as outlined by the basic instructions for living that he gave the world in order to sustain itself they shouldn't go to toba bohu have to be reclaimed now let's just take a quick look what has happened since the shabis simhas tora war of october October 7th began. As I said last week, there is too many situations to enumerate. But the battle of good and evil, the battle of these three makasim is being waged in ways that we haven't seen. Uh and I'll give you just several examples from this last past week or so. Okay. So first of all, the battle for basic truths of morality. So in the Supreme Court, boundaries have been reinstated. Let me show you the boundaries that they put in. Number one, they've affirmed the fact that people who are illegal immigrants who violate boundaries, right? They don't follow the cod, they don't follow procedure of entry that they're supposed to. And on top of that they commit criminal offenses which violate the rights of others cannot be kept in the country by a judge's vote. One solitary judge's vote when it's been speaking about Saddam much of the medashim go on about the the corrupt judges of stone. This is all in peric as well how they used to pervert justice pervert justice. Um, and they said, "Okay, for example, somebody killed somebody's son." He said, "Well, he took your son. He's going to have relations with your wife and produce another son to make up for it." That's the perversion of justice. It's just such a perversion of logic. Okay? So, hold a boundary. Boundaries are important. Another boundary. Can should we fund um uh all cases on a federal level of of abortion? Now abortion is not user according to under certain circumstances especially not in the first 40 days but indiscriminate abortion even at late term is certainly a violation of hal and the government of America decided that you this the government doesn't have to sponsor it it's not a federal right that's huge that's reversing a terrible crime a terrible violation of that America was committing which was murder because you cannot pay money to abort a child uh very very late term or partial what they call partial birth abortions. These are an isurita. They may not be isa necessarily because the baby's internal, but if it's for no good reason, it's certainly an isser. May not be high of a death penalty for it because until a baby crowns, it's not considered a separate human being, but the truth is some of these abortions were partial birth abortions, which meant the baby may have crowned and at that point it's objective murder. So that was a tikun. Another tikun is the issue of transgenderism which um and homosexuality. This what happened this week was the secretary of defense said there was a well-known I think may may have been Jewish uh figure from the Congress who they named one of the battleships after. Okay, I don't want to say his name and but it was a well he was the openly first openly gay member of Congress. He was a very well well well um popular figure and so on. They named a US battleship after I don't know what the connection is but they just renamed it. They said, "Sorry, the United States is not going to emlaze in the name of an open homosexual as its proud uh military banner milit one thing that Trump did right away was stop the issue, kick the trans transgism out of the army." That's amazing because it's a restoration of the boundary of Zaram which was established by the Bible. That's what the problem was. Why did Noah have to take in separate genders? You have to you have to just look at this. It's all there. Noah had to fight transgenderism. Noah had to fight homosexuality. That was what he's there for because that's not what Hashem wants. Hashm wants purview. He wants different type of relationships that mirror the God man relationship that can be productive, that can be frulful, etc. Mindboggling. other things that have been going on in the Supreme Court have been handing victory after victory to these ideas of restoring sexual morality, restoring justice to the justice system, not allowing rogue judges to pervert justice. And another thing which is really really big is the whole idea of defunding police because one of the in the boundaries is law and order. You have to have law and order. If you don't have law and order, that's already indicated generation of the mobble. Now, this uh candidate who was elected in the primary of the Democratic party for U for mayor of New York, the city in which there are the most concentration of Jews anywhere in the world outside the land of Israel, right? Supposed to be a place where there's some hashbah, a place where many sadikim are buried, place where so much Torah is learned and so on. and they wanted to put a mayor over this city who a is the son Israel wants to destroy the state of Israel and more than that he promotes terrorism and destruction of ami Israel and you want to make him mayor of the of the town which has the biggest Jewish community in the world is that not an alarm if there's no it's not a red alarm I don't know what we all know what's going to happen we don't know what's going to happen he's young he's good-looking. He's charismatic and people who want to throw off restrictions, which is what the basic idea is. I don't want any restrictions. I want to be whatever gender I want. You have to call me whatever I say, right? My kids can become male or female or whatever it might be. They don't have to reproduce because it's not important. We can cut off their, you know, uh, their ability to reproduce. Fine. These are all fragrant violations. Defund the police so there can be heft and theft and stealing and kamas. These are all trends that are demonstrating an affinity to the lifestyle of the dora or the dha or the generation of korak in one instance or the other spec specifically in refusing to accept the authority of hashem. Now someone wrote a very good nice piece as an outcome of this 12-day war. Um, I think this is quoted in one of the English newspapers and they said the thing that people are very upset about and I saw this from several big anti-semmites who are speaking their their garbage on the public on the public forum. They say they can't understand how Israel could have been so successful. How is it possible that this tiny little country um who from people who just came from the ashes of the Holocaust were thrown out of the Muslim countries and sitting in Israel being victims of wars against seven nations. I mean, if there were ever a people that should be weak, broken, and defeated, it should be us through Hashem's will. All of a sudden, Israel rears its head as the morai as the shimhanagid to the bizier of Granada and it's not something they can accept because they'll have to draw conclusions. What conclusion will they have to draw? Either that their religions are teaching them untruths about Judaism's place in the world. I.e. that our job is to teach off to the world and that is the center of that centerpiece and the bet is the centerpiece of those teachings. Or you'll have to say Jews are cheaters. They've always said Jews cheat. He ch he cheated. He stole the braas from Asa. He that's what the church said for years that you know the younger cheated the elder. Uh but the really you know they put up reliefs on Notraame of um the uh you know Asov dominating his blind his blind figure of of Yakov. Romans did it when they minted their coins Judea capta. They said a man standing over a four-lone woman. This is their image. We're supposed to be these fourlororn broken blind people broken reclining on the ground and it's just not the case. And either they're going to come to terms to the fact that the Jewish people are special and connected to Hashem or that Hashem has mis has been misrepresented to them all along and really both. So the three-step maklocus exists between the Gentiles and the Tadikim, the Noah and the Abrahams and the Moshees, but also in the Jew outside the Jewish camp and in the Jewish camp and within the Jewish camp itself. So this is the point that brings us to the the aftermath of the 12- day war. So the world's in shock. The world is in shock right now about the fact that the Jewish people are powerful and it makes them very very uncomfortable because they may have to alter their base beliefs that they've been taught through their religion or they may need to give up behaviors to conform to a higher set of rules which is even worse. put down the banners, take off the uh you know uh the free Palestine t-shirts and start supporting the Jewish people to do their best gift to mankind which is to restore the BA mikdash to the Evans Shia. So I just want to mention two things. Oh my gosh, we we have to close. Okay, you ready? What's really next after all this? Yeah, Persia will rebound or will try to rebound and Hashem has already tapled them. So they likely are going to keep falling said Wilson once they start falling it says as Zer said in the mentioned last week Paul if he's the if he's the Jew that to the Miach like a who was charged like a Mori like an Esther and of course later the Messiah then okay fall they probably continue to fall. But what's even more interesting is the is the internal battle with Korak. Now let me explain when Mosher when when Mosher Abenu the reason why we believe in Mosher Abenu acquainted Rambam in the eighth perk of Isodia Torah is not because he did crazy miracles. It's not because of missiles and bombs and blisteros that you know were absorbed by the clouds of glory. And it's not because of the macos that came hailing down on the Egyptians with wild animals. That's not why we believe in Moshe because anybody could come and present those type of miracles and then what are you going to do? Blindly follow them off a cliff? No. He says, 'We believe in Mosher Bainu only because of one reason and that's because Hashem spoke to Hari and there were six million witnesses and many more witnesses around the world and we saw with our own eyesh when somebody tells you about a religion like the Mormons made up a religion says I found a book and started tell me the Book of Mormon it was a talking bird or something a talking lizard or whatever it was and they told me this whole story oh great let's follow the religion that's something You may have heard, but there's nothing to compare something you've seen with your own two eyes. Mosher Rabbenu's dialogue with Hashem was viewed by witnesses. Now, Mosherenu also gave us a mitzvah. He said, "In future generations, you're going to also have Naveim, people who can predict the future and people who will guide you without Hashem's will. But guess what? You think you're going to believe them because of the signs they bring. That's not why I want you to believe them. I want you to believe them because Hashem commanded me to tell you that and you saw me speaking to Hashem and giving you the Torah. Follow me. We believe in a Nvi not because of the signs that they bring because Moshe said to believe them. It's a very very big difference. It's a complete imuna in the Moshenu. And then he says an interesting thing. He says, "Yeah, there is a need to bring signs." Imosh himself brought signs, right? He says, "But the signs have to be things that are going to occur in the future and that he predicts them correctly a number of times. And when that person doesn't deviate from Torah and is proven to be correct, that the word of Hashem is with him, when you're a great Saddic, when you're a great, when you're a gut, when you're a big makub, the world is open to your mind. Your mind merges with Hashem's mind and you just know what's going on. You know what's happening. There were people with Rakodesesh. They know what's happen certainly was that person whose yards site was just yesterday. He knew a thousand stories to back it up. But many many great sadik they just saw from one end of the world to the other because their mind was so merged with the kaduca of Hashem that they had. When you have that kind of person and they can tell you what's going on then even if they tell you something controversial later on like Ela said let's bring a carbon and hard caramel which it doesn't say to do that in the Torah. you listen to them not because because they've been confirmed by Mosher Rabeno this is the Ni and this is the guy who you have to listen to it's going to happen that there's going to be things that happen that Hashem will command the Nvi to do that you may not understand Esther's going to go be with be with okay we're going to cancel Seder night because we're we're in trouble many things that we learned from the Nim that were that were emergencies just like we violate Shabas to save a life. There are things that are overrule overruling tendencies not everything the basics no but under you know certain circumstances other things can be permitted and that's only because we trust the because Mosha said so that confirmed faith in that saying I see the wisdom of the holy sadikim I see the wisdom of the of the Torah teachers this is what's at stake right now here in the land of Israel the respect for Torah must be restored, but it must be restored in such a way that people feel accessibility and connection to Torah themselves. It must be invited into the Torah. They can't say leave us alone and leave to we'll do Torah and you stay over there. But there has to be something um where it's restored to what it's supposed to be that the kohanim those who learn Torah are the teachers and and loving teachers of all the generation and we're not quite there yet and there's a lot of resistance from within. Notice that Trump said that the court of Israel the the high court is a corruption of justice. That's another miracle. That's another huge miracle. So look what's come under the rate come under attack to revert these perversions of the sh mitzvah first of all court system how much of the democrats perverted justice whether it was impeachments and whether it was persecuting people through the law whether it was this nonsense of of ignoring doing justice on people like Biden and other people protecting people even this horrible prosecutor Kareem Khan who was a criminal a rapist was allowed to pronounce indictments against the leaders of the Jewish people while he himself was a was a verified criminal and eventually he was caught. And these things are coming out. The corrupt figures are unraveling. Even one of the uh very big people in entertainment business, I won't mention his name. He's on trial right now for his perversions. He's on trial. And other people, Jewish or not Jewish, are on trial. and the Biden administration, it's just everything's coming out. Everything's being brought to the surface and there's a desire for justice and fairness and even now here call in our own country there two major major issues. One is the Supreme Court versus the Knesset which speaks the words of the people who do want Israel and do want connection to Hashem and do want peaceful connections with all Jews uh religious not Jewish and even with our Arabs that within the country but is skewed towards a certain opinion much like Kor was skewed towards a certain opinion and again the the the forced enrollment into the army of people who are culturally unable to live in that type of mixed environment of men and women. You want to make havdalos, you want to make things holy, you want to separate the the genders, okay? You want to have a bases that are the kaduca that people can learn and do Torah. trying a little bit of that. But does the army really want that or does it want it to surrender to its to its current framework which is unacceptable to any bentora obviously and people have said which is I think just the correct answer if they'll allow the firm community to be trained as soldiers to protect their own communities police and paramilitary and and they would gladly take up arms outside the bach med and outside the banesset. and protect their own people and when there's terrorist attacks defend them. You don't need you don't need soldiers for that. Soldiers can go on missions to Iran. Soldiers can defeat Gaza. We need to protect our local people. That is an immediate step that Benorra would gladly gladly take on. But do they want it? Do they want the solutions? Do we want the solutions? So everything is being very worked through. Uh this war is another cleansing. It's another step of straightening out uh you know the the world's opinion in relationship to Hashem. The Iranians will never accept the idea the Jewish people are not only not their worst enemy but are their best friends. But it's happened in history before. Kesh, their great figure is Koresh. He's the one that supported the building of Bam Mikdash. The potential of that relationship is incredible. So Barashem what I want to what I want to say is that we are in not only do we have to be patient about political and military issues to come to the fruition but we also have to keep an eye on a much larger process that's going on in the world. The universities have been completely completely embarrassed and unmasked for who they are. Um, you can't states that are that are committed to philosophies that are counted to Torah Mitzos are suffering and and need to be restored to order. And Bashem, even Europe came around. It's coming around. They stopped off that crazy international court. There may come a day where Trump issues injunctions against the Supreme Court Justice of Israel. Mark my words, that's not out of the question. Can you imagine? and he might do that and he'd be in certain circumstances probably correct to do it. Depends what is going on. It depends what their agenda is. Depends what they're trying to accomplish. And and finally, uh if we can thank Hashem for all these slow little bits of light that are starting to open up, the awe of the generation of Messiah is upon us. The world is being restored to a place of sanity, serenity, and peace. But we're really, really far along from it. And there's much much work that has to happen. We can dump for it every day. But by connecting to like yesterday's, the great Torah teachers, our inspiration with Hashem, talking to Hashem, learning our text, learning from our para, learning from our pia, keeping our ru happy. This is all the or aura of Mashiach. The aura of Mashiach is around. We just have to open our hearts to connect with it and watch these exciting developments. And we'll we'll have an opportunity to document things and look at a big overview of what has happened since October 7th. That's going to be a much bigger subject to tackle, but I gave you a little bit today. We're going in the right direction. Hashem should continue his blessings and victory lad. The internal divisions with within AmIrael must heal. And that can only by by respect for each other and for Torah believe it. It's the respect for AmIrael and also respect for Masurus Israel. And we can get to that place because it's within us. It's a very very much within us. Okay? And that means everyone. Okay? Have a wonderful wonderful week. I hope to see you next time. Heat. Heat.
