It's pretty remarkable even from a
distance. We didn't have Nachum here,
but he was arranging, sending out,
organizing,
keeping us bound together from a
distance, but we much much rather
I much rather appreciate and all of us
rather appreciate Nachum from close. So,
really appreciate you back home, Nachum.
Welcome home, NACHUM. THANK YOU.
[applause]
I WANT TO EXPRESS THAT
when we come back, guys, how was your
Shabbos? How was your Shabbos? And
always we Shabbos is wonderful, but I
want to appreciate
I had the opportunity together with Reb
Reiras, together with Reb Ezi, we had
the chance to be with many alumni,
with many alumni and at Mishpachas, and
I just want to express it was so
exciting just to see the expansion, the
tremendous brocha people with their
wives, their children, and to see people
create raising beautiful from homes.
Yaakov, I any any person who's building,
I you know, building and creating and
involved in Yeshivas,
so I always wondered about the expansion
of the Yeshiva, and I take big pride,
Yehuda.
It's very It's very appreciated.
>> Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, [laughter] hey, hey, hey.
There's one rule, bro.
This school has one rule.
Take off that coat.
Yehuda, it's very appreciated all the
institutions that have come from the
Yeshiva.
Guys who have learned in these holy
walls in our base medrish have built
Yeshivas and are building Yeshivas and
kolelim, and I take tremendous
tremendous pride, appreciation, a
tremendous celebration of the
institutions that that come from here.
But I want to say that all institutions
are beautiful and appreciated.
The homes, the Yiddishe Shtieb, the
Yiddishe home that's coming from here,
people building their families in
beautiful ways.
This was like bliss. Before davening,
they had a tea room right next to the
shul. And before davening, to see many
of our chevra up early in the morning
holding one child, two children, even
three children, and feeding them
breakfast, it was like delightful.
The the tea room right next to the shul,
I was hanging out there for a little
while. I baruch Hashem was not having
anything. I don't I
I was not in the mood for a coffee. I
was sitting in that room enjoying the
chevra farbreinging with their children.
So I wanted to share this with the
chevra here. I'll see you in a few years
with the But I just very, very
appreciated. What?
Of course. Just very, very appreciated
the mishpachas that people the beautiful
family Avi will ask you with his family.
It's just wonderful to see the
mishpachas. There's many, many names to
say. Zevy Kahn with his
gorgeous family, such a precious,
beautiful family. So I wanted to express
that appreciation to the guys.
I wanted to study.
I want to study Yehuda pasuk in
Mishpatim with you for a few minutes. I
want to wrap our minds around the pasuk.
We try, Yehuda? One pasuk I want to
think about. It's like it's a mysterious
pasuk, Yehuda.
But we're going to enter a little
mysterious and try to figure it out.
>> [snorts]
>> Yehuda, right by kabbalas haTorah.
Right by the receiving of the Torah.
These psukim are connected to na'aseh
v'nishmah, to the receiving of the
Torah.
And it says Moshe, Aaron, Nadav, and
Avihu are two Aaron's sons. The Shiv'im
Z'keinim Yisrael go up.
They climb towards Hashem Sh'moli.
Vayiru et Elohei Yisrael, they see God.
Amazing pasuk as as real. Vayiru et
Elohei Yisrael,
they see Hashem, these tzadikim. Moshe,
Aaron, Nadav, and Avihu, and the Shiv'im
Z'keinim. They walk up the mountain and
they see Hashem.
To say those words, vaya vayiru et
Elohei Yisrael, they saw God.
Vetachas raglav, and under his feet.
When they watch Hashem, what's under
Hashem's feet? Now, does God have feet,
Yechiel?
Does God have What's it called? And use
the use word of the day, anthropo-
Say it right. I'm going to say it wrong.
Anthro-
pomorphism.
Anthro- How do you say it? How does he
say the word?
Zog zog, anthro-
Anthro-
Perfect. It It means whenever we say
navei, Hashem's feet, God doesn't have
feet. It means the way we relate to
something. The hand of Hashem,
God doesn't have a hand, it's the way we
relate to Hashem's activities towards
us. We call it a hand of Hashem.
So, it says under Hashem's feet.
Vetachas raglav, what was under Hashem's
feet? Kima'aseh livnas hasapir.
Was a sapphire
sapphire brick.
Under Hashem's feet. Almost like the
Guys ever see at a bris? So the the male
wants to like do the bris properly, the
baby has to be flat. So they put under
the the sandik. The sandik's the one
who's a big covered. You hold the baby
during the bris. So they put like
something under the guy's feet to that
his feet should be raised. You know what
I'm talking about? So they put some
stand. The rabbonish kavyakho sitting
and he has something under his feet.
What's under Hashem's feet? Livnas
Hasapir. A sapphire brick.
Mysterious. They see God. Moishe, Aaron,
Nadav, and Avihu Avram, shiv'im
zekeinim.
They go up towards the har and they see
Hashem. Vayiru es Elokei Yisrael v'tahas
raglav. They saw God.
V'tahas raglav.
And under his feet is k'maaseh livnas
hasapir. It's a sapphire brick.
Does it say the luchos were sapphire?
Sapphire, it says sapphire, I guess.
Okay.
It says they were sapphire.
>> so.
They're saying they were made
What is this sapphire brick under God's
feet?
So Rashi explains what it means.
What is this What's this sapphire brick
under Ellie, hear what happened? Moishe,
Aaron, Nadav and Avihu and the 70
zekeinim go up Har Sinai
and they see Hashem and he's sitting
there and under his feet tahas raglav
under his feet is k'maaseh livnas
hasapir. It's a sapphire brick.
What is that?
So says Rashi
He had I saw the fun of it was in front
of Hashem Bash Hashem would when we were
sweating in Egypt
Hashem that we were creating bricks. We
were toiling and busy with bricks.
Hashem had a sapphire brick in front of
him list guard to remember so I
shouldn't show you strong the pain of
our people shall you show but
the mice of the venom we were busy
building bricks. So God had a sapphire
brick in front of him. He was my mission
feeling the pain of our people.
Now this very very pleased everybody
would be a little tripped out. When did
we see Hashem? Yes, what were you
asking?
>> I I
How is How is
How is that him feeling our
The sapphire brick means he momish was
with us. We were sitting working with
bricks. God was holding a brick have you
all. It means that he meant the sapphire
that's a good question. You had said why
do sapphire God couldn't God needs like
a fancy a brick very good question.
Very good question. Why do you have a
fancy a brick? I do not know the answer.
It's a great question. Why do you have a
sapphire brick? Have a regular brick.
It's a very good question. I have a
theory to this yet see that I'm going to
tell you privately but I love the
question.
Cuz I don't want to I don't I want to
like say bring out a point here. I love
his question why is sapphire brick?
Everything's exact in
the soaking. Now Rashi says it's it's to
show that's what I want to address Elio
in a second but it says list guard so I
shouldn't show you strong that Hashem
remembers the pain of quality so he's
momish with us.
We're busy with bricks and Hashem has a
sapphire brick in front of him. Now Yitz
will say why sapphire?
If you want to feel our pain like have a
brick like we have a brick.
I I
I have thoughts. I don't know the answer
Yitz.
You know what I struggle you know what I
struggle Yitz and I want to express and
maybe this what it means in the sapphire
brick.
Whenever it says God feels our pain, he
has information we don't. He knows where
it's headed towards.
So like there's almost like
to us we're in the dark. He knows where
it's I almost wonder the sapphire brick.
Yeah, he's busy with bricks. It's a
sapphire. It's a beautiful one like like
he's with our pain but he also knows
it's headed somewhere. But I don't know.
I literally don't know Yitz. I like
studying these things. I don't know yes
that's that I'm I grapple I grapple with
that.
I grapple like grapple how you could be
and I sham's present with us but he
knows something we don't but but still
he also is aware that we're unaware.
He's with us. The bottom line is I don't
know the answer. Yeah yeah. Yitz's
question Yitz's Yehuda I would I momish
want you guys as I want you guys to be
with me. Come much closer. The throat's
not working the right.
I promise it could be a good
this we might get places today. But I
will say we'll see Ellie. I really want
to study. Naveh I want you to hear.
Let's see if we get places together
Mayor. Yankel let's get places. So God
Moshe Rabbeinu Aaron Nadav and Avihu the
the 70s came and go up during Kabbalah
said Torah and they see I sham under his
feet he has a sapphire brick explains
Hazal that he's with us while we're
suffering. Hashem is a brick in front of
him. I don't know why it's sapphire,
Yitzl is kosher, but he's mamish with
Liz Garbacz or us and Shaya Yisraeli is
with us.
Now, Yehuda, what bothers me is it's not
during the shivud Mitzrayim, the time's
off. It's during Kabbalas haTorah.
So, it's so interesting. Now,
did Hashem, when they saw him, why does
he have a brick under his feet? I'm
going to say something very trippy.
And I'm not trying to be
to hurt your brain.
We We're allowed to know things. We have
time here
by Hashem in the world of MS. What was
still is. What is will be. What will be
is. Time is very different. Time's very
human way of relating to him.
By Hashem, everything is eternal. It's
always.
So, you could see Hashem now that you
see during shivud Mitzrayim. He now has
a brick under his foot.
Understand when you go to the realm of
God is eternal. Things are eternal. So,
what was yesterday is.
Now, this is a little bit dizzy for for
all of us, us humans. It's dizzy for me
as it is for you. When we saw Hashem, we
saw We're seeing him now. Now, that
happened by Hashem, it is. And we saw
with the brick under his feet that when
we're in Mitzrayim, he was with us.
>> Oh my gosh. So, it's a little bit
overwhelming. It's okay. Time. The topic
of time is a very fascinating to me as
somebody who's time challenged and
working on things. I like the way of
time with times. I like thinking about
time because I grapple with time. My
father was a prince of time. He was
never late, like unheard of. A sheer My
father said shiurim for decades. There
was no such thing. Shiur was three. He
didn't start three at one, he started
three. And was a master with time,
something I want to work to be more on
time. I'm trying. I'll tell you I'll
tell you with time, and I I spoke this
Shabbos about it. I don't like having an
end time to things. I don't To me, a
start time, I'm very into it to know
when to get there.
The end time is tricky. Be into
something. Don't be Don't look at your
Be into the thing. Let the What time we
ending What time we ending today? I've
no idea. I I want to I really want to be
with you. Mamish, I want to be there.
I'm I'm not promoting if it's too long,
walk out. Please, everybody has a shiur.
I like being into something. I don't
know how you could be into something.
And I'll make sure
Let's Let's get lost a little bit. Let's
do something. Let's get busy with
something. I like when there's no end
time to a davening. Now, I'm not a guy I
don't love people go crazy long. I don't
love that. But I just Let's do the
thing. And if By the way, if you can't
do it anymore, so stop. So, finish. But
I like being into something, present
into something. Now,
I want to say last time could have
showed them, so it's not like so crazy.
I want to talk about Everything's
exactly
So, Elio's saying at Teretz, what I'm
struggling and I want everybody to hear.
During Kabbalas Torah, we see Hashem.
Who sees Hashem? Moshe, Aaron, Nadav
Avihu, Nadav Avihu, the two sons of
Aaron, and the 70 K'naanim, Ezra. And
what do they see in Hashem? Bishas the
shibud of Mitzrayim, Hashem's with us in
the tzaros. He's with us.
Why do we see that now? Why are we shown
that? Now, I agree it's true
that you could see the In front of
Hashem, there's no such thing as the
past. It exists for all eternity.
So, you could see everything in front of
Hashem. You could watch Adam HaRishon
that exists lifnei Hashem. BUT I'M
ASKING, WHY BASHAS Kabbalas HaTorah will
be shown this. Why did my what they saw
Hashem, they saw that during Mitzrayim
he had this brick, this Livnas Sapir in
front of us. He feels our pain. He feels
our pain. Now,
the simple reason that I'm not going to
say this shot, that's not what I'm going
with. The simplest shot I I really like
thinking about these things. And I want
to tell you something that hit me this
year, never hit me before like this. And
I want to share.
But [clears throat] what's this what's
happening? Just basic. I like think
Hashem's talking to us. He wants us to
know this. Moshe and Aaron go up and
they see Hashem Bashas Kabbalas HaTorah
when we're in Mitzrayim suffering and
struggling, God was mamish with us. He
had in front of him a sapphire stone. He
was like really connected. We were like
handling stones, so was God. He was like
holding a stone mamish. He was with us.
Why is that like what we saw Bashas
Kabbalas HaTorah?
The simplest thing to say is there's a
Mishnah in Avos, the sixth perek, which
Avraham has 48 Kinyanei Torah. 48 things
necessary to acquire Torah.
One of the Kinyanei Torah is to be Nosei
Ol um Chaveiro, to feel your friend's
stuff.
To feel your friend's stuff, it's one of
the Kinyanei Torah, one of the ways you
get Torah. I saw one of the Rishonim
write that it's the most important
Kinyan Torah of all 48. I believe I saw
that in the Chayei Adam. The Chayei Adam
writes of all 48 Kinyanei Torah, 48
conditions to acquire Torah, you need to
be able to feel somebody's stuff. Nice
say but I don't have a friend. Make
space. It's interesting. Anybody who
gets friendship you guys the guys and my
children change my life and save my
life.
I've learned I've seen you see I've seen
you do this. I've seen guys in your
Shiva this summer in Sula my guy was
very sad about something told me he went
to his friend told me he went to his
friend and he said my friend didn't open
his mouth. We cried together for a half
hour then I left and say a word. I'm
like blown away by the guys when guys
share with each other
when people don't understand when you
meet us they start like answering
friends going through such a hard time
you start like oh do this say and
make space for what he's feeling. Nice
say but I don't have a friend is carry
with him I'm Amish with you and your
thing Amish.
A guy describes he broke up he had he
was dating a girl he thought she thought
they were going to be married. It's a
big thing and he stopped. Tremendous
pain. A very shallow person starts
saying well
maybe you'll well she's stupid you start
like handling stuff. Stop your friends
in pain. Make space. Make nice say but I
don't have a friend is carry with him
be present. So one of the 48 can you not
tear
you need this me down order to acquire
tear is nice say but I don't have a
friend is to feel with your friend. So
simply you could say a sham's giving
tear and if this is the most important
thing necessary to acquire tear so God
who's giving tear now is showing us in
order to have tear you need this me
down.
I'm cool with that. First of all the 47
other can you not tear so I'm a little
bit troubled why is this the one?
I'm also
Yeah I also don't yeah yeah could be it
could be it could be It's interesting.
This is what Hashem was doing. If it's
the most important thing necessary to
acquire Torah.
I'm not dancing. I'm not going to lie.
>> I want to share a shot with you that I
that that it does No, that Rebbe will
dance from, I think. I think.
>> Let's go. I want to share something.
Yehuda, I want you to hear this. I
really I believe this.
I want to express Yechiel. Again, the
question I have
You hear the question, Binyamin, a very
I think a very fair in balance question.
Moshe and Aaron, everybody have the
question, Yankev Ezra. I want you all to
to hear the question we're addressing
today. Moshe and Aaron Meyer, Moshe and
Aaron see Hashem bishas kabbbalat Torah.
Moshe and Aaron, Aaron's two sons, Nadav
and Avihu, the 70 kingdom, they see
Hashem. What does Hashem have in front
of him? A livnat hasapir, a sapphire
brick. Why does he have it in front of
him? They saw that during shibud
Mitzrayim, when we were killing
ourselves, Hashem was mamesh with us. We
were busy with bricks.
It feels so alone. When somebody's alone
in their house, struggling, suffering,
and you feel nobody sees, Hashem's
mamesh with us. Mamesh, mamesh.
Specifically, uniquely, our situations
are so unique. And the sense, does
anybody see me? Hello, I'm so alone.
Hashem mamesh has a sapphire brick in
front He mamesh specifically what we're
going through. He's with us, mamesh.
Why is that the lesson bishas kabbbalat
Torah? That's my question, Yechiel.
That that fact is cool and comforting
and amazing. Why is that the lesson of
Ram of Kabbalah Sator?
So, I want to express the Torah is
Hashem speaking to us. I want to tell
the Hebrew here what you have a right to
expect. Ellie, when you show up to the
Torah, when you show up to learn,
bring your problems. You will see the
answers in the Torah.
Hashem addresses us from where we're
coming from.
I wonder, where did we come from the
Kabbalah Sator? We had just finished
Shemot Mitzrayim, the sad, the pain, and
we came from there to Kabbalah Sator.
Right after Yetziat Mitzrayim to
Kabbalah Sator.
I wonder that the message is Eliyahu,
what you're going through you can expect
to see in the Torah.
Hashem was the giving the giver of the
Torah. I'm going to talk to that with
your I'm with you what you're
experiencing, and I'm going to talk to
your experience.
So, when we saw Hashem by Kabbalah
Sator, where are we coming from? What
was on our minds? What had dominated our
experience in Shemot Mitzrayim?
And Hashem is saying, "When I speak the
Torah to you, you can expect to be
spoken about where you're coming from,
what you're coming from."
Hashem speaks to our stuff.
That's what I think I think one can
expect. I have seen Yechiel, the more I
have leaned into my own story, I find my
story in the Torah. The things I'm
worried about, the things I'm bothered
by, the unique experience that mine
Avram, you bring your story to Torah,
you'll see your story in the Torah.
Hashem will address the nuances and
specifics of your story.
Bishas Kabbalah Sator, we saw that the
tzaros, the difficulties, Hashem was
mamesh was in front of him. Why did we
see that Bishas Kabbalah Sator? Cuz
Hashem talks to our story, to our
situation. We'll find in giving the
Torah Hashem is busy with our story and
talking to our story. So I don't just
think it's a side point to Kabbalah
Torah. One can expect in Kabbalah Torah
that which we were struggling with, that
which we had struggled with.
Hashem is talking to that, about that.
About those suggios.
I think somebody can expect that the
unique situations do we always find them
in the Torah? I can't say I always can
find them.
I do want to say usually I find it.
Usually you learn Torah it's like it's
pretty remarkable that Hashem talks to
the situations of our life. You'll see
it in the Torah. You'll see it. Hashem
will address it. Come with your stuff to
learning Torah. Come with your nuance
stuff. And the more you come with, the
more you'll like to hear what Hashem's
telling you. I can almost picture
somebody who's like disconnected to
themselves. Somebody talks to them, says
things that are relevant but you don't
know yourself.
Somebody talks to you and you don't know
you, you almost wouldn't hear what
they're saying. Not cuz you don't know
that person, you don't know yourself.
And when we learn Torah we can expect
Hashem is talking to our situation.
That's what I wonder.
Yeah, so everybody you hold of this plan
I I'm I am
I'm saying to the plan I'm a little
troubled when if we were in Mitzrayim we
what that's what we came from.
And one can expect that which Hashem is
talking to us in Torah is to the
experiences we're coming from.
That's why right then and there with
Kabbalah Torah, so what's Hashem busy?
Bishas Mitzrayim I'm with you. And I'm
talking from that space of somebody
who's with you.
If you ever if you ever leli if you ever
have a situation, you're holding in one
place and somebody's like talking and
you just don't get me. It's not where
I'm at.
Did you ever have a situation,
Yehuda? Somebody's like bothered by
something. This is what I want to say,
Shim. This is what I want to say.
If a guy's bothered by says a lot on his
mind, somebody comes I've done this.
I've been the guy. A bakra comes after
an off shabbos.
It's funny, Rabbi Russ told this to me
the last night. He said, "How many times
are a bayem talking to a guy? A guy's
bothered. He's going through the
craziest things at home. And the rabbi
is like, "You know your hair is long.
You should be getting a hair Right,
Russ? You're not speaking to the guy."
The guy's in middle of something. He's
He's
And you're like you're like you're
clueless. Yeah.
You're not in the same stratosphere or
planet. You're like, "Buddy, I wanted to
tell you
It's not where I'm at. That's not what
I'm
We've all had times in our life that
something dominating our existence.
Then somebody talks to you like there's
nothing to do with what you're saying.
Like uh It's not really I'm not It's not
relevant to Rabbi. It's not I told you
once the joke a bakra told me.
The bakra said in his funny way, "I
asked the guy how his bein hazmanim was.
I asked the bakra how his bein hazmanim
and he told me something very bad that
happened during bein hazmanim.
So I said, "Besides for that, how was
bein hazmanim?"
He said, "Rebbi, Mrs. Lincoln, besides
for that, how was the play?"
Like like you're clueless. If you ask If
you want a handle, what did I tell you?
If you want a handle with Mrs. Lincoln
afterwards, "Miss Lincoln, I wanted to
talk to play." That She's not talking
about the play.
It's not where she's at.
Daniel, how many times in our life like
people talk to us and you're not talking
to I'm at. That's not So, the Rebbe goes
up to the bachur, comes back after an
off Shabbos. I've done this.
I'm going to admit my sins. I don't like
I don't like marijuana. I don't like I
don't like flight behavior. I want a
bachur to cry. No marijuana cry. Guys
have come back after an off Shabbos
years ago. I'm embarrassed. The guy
would get off the bus and I'd be like
upset about mar- about him smoking up.
Now, what what was stupid what I did?
The guy is in crazy tzuris. His parents
were fighting the whole off Shabbos. The
guy is in turmoil. It's triggering
childhood memories. He's shaken up. He's
like and you're like you're handling you
smoked
You're not in the same world as me. I'm
not That's not where I'm at.
Now, granted, he shouldn't smoke. It's
not where I'm at. Hi. Hi. Like, do you
see me? I'm in middle of something.
How often does somebody talk to us about
something where they're not hitting
where we're at?
What what's being said here in Kabbalas
Shabbos Tiyera?
Hashem during Kabbalas Shabbos Tiyera
says, "I'm with you in your story."
I feel your stuff. I'm amish I'm talking
to your story.
How many people can have in learning?
The Rebbe's like darsh, you come to
share he's handling like
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm not here. I'm sorry.
I'm
There's not where I'm at.
It's It's important to understand and to
expect in our learning that it will talk
to our story. Hashem is talking to our
story. Bishas Kabbalas Shabbos Tiyera,
they saw Hashem, he had livnas hasapir.
You know what he was saying when he was
You know what he was where he was coming
from? He's coming from our story. He's
talking to our story. The Tiyera is
talking to our story.
Zevy, that's what I hear. That's what I
hear of as the in the livnas as appear
in front of Hashem Bashas Kabbalas
Torah. That the Torah that Hashem is
teaching us and talking is talking to
our story. It addresses our story. It's
going to speak. We have to find it in
there. But when we learn, we could
expect that it will talk to our story in
the way.
There's a madrega. It could be
frustrating sometimes. Sometimes we're
our story and we hear in the Rebbe's an
ox goring. Why is that connected? So we
have to see how can I find my story? And
have to study it carefully and well. But
Hashem this is relevant and talking
about my story, talking to my story. My
story connects to Torah and the Torah
connects to my story. It's not like
there's the Torah and then I have this
in my story. Kind of my story is in the
Torah. The Torah speaks about the
situations I'm in. They're They're all
keyum of the Torah. They're all part of
Torah, my story.
That's what I think is being said here
Bashas Kabbalas Torah.
What do you What do you Russ, what do
you think about this?
Something like that sounds true. Bashas
Kabbalas Torah, we saw that lifnei
Hashem was our story.
So I think it's saying something about
the very Torah he's teaching us. The
melamed Torah l'amai Yisrael. So like
he's teaching us you're teaching us
the what you used to get frustrated
the last night. Like how many times the
guy's story is here and we're talking
about Hashem. It's not that way. He's
talking to our story. He's relevant to
our story. He's busy. Our story is in
front of him and from that place he's
teaching us.
No way.
livnas hasapir
No, I can't Why would that help?
That's what the Rebbe said.
That's why the brick has like it has
it's been
That's why it's a sapphire brick. It's
not just us.
And the sapphire brick's a good dick.
Yes, your dick is very solid yet still
>> [snorts]
>> The dick is very solid. Why the sapphire
brick? God very very wealthy.
He could afford He has a sapphire brick.
He definitely could afford a regular
brick. He couldn't have a regular brick.
He couldn't have a regular brick.
Live not a sapphire, the sapphire brick.
Now, your dick is very beautiful. Every
detail in Torah is precious. It's saying
something.
So, Sham is a brick. Have my brick. Turn
it sapphire. I don't know I don't work
with a sapphire brick. We have a beard.
You're like you're almost you're doing
it fancy. I'm stuck here. You have a
fancy brick. Could you have my brick?
I'd I'd be much more touched if I Sham
had like a brick brick in front of me.
Sapphire like a fancy.
I find that interesting. I I'm That's
That's how I lay down with the something
there. Every part of what's happening
Okay, I we could figure what sapphire
one day. I know it's fancy. It's
beautiful.
It's like a beautiful Our bricks were no
sapphire. I promise.
They will abandon them. They will
Interesting, right?
And the way we could really we could
really study Torah and Hashem tells us
things. I hear in this that the Torah
talks to me, to my story. It's not like
I'm in the middle of this.
Picture how many Bochurim come to a
shear, Ellie, and they have so much on
their mind. They're like, "Okay,
Kevlar."
I'm I trying to get guys focus in? No,
no. You know what you're talking about?
I want to tell you about what you're
talking about. That's how I hear in
Torah. I don't say to a guy guys are
talking now. This guy is just grabbing.
>> [snorts]
>> I can't I I I
I'm not I'm saying that it's
what I think the Torah does is going to
talk where you're at. It's going to
address the way we are where at. I find
that Torah does this that it speaks to
that where I'm holding. Hashem's Torah
speaks to Kol Yisrael.
Hashem's coming from the place of
knowing what's happening by us and
speaking to that.
By my rebbe the way I found this all the
time when he said sheurim
it was like exactly where I was holding
all the time I found that. It was like
freaky. I have seen that with guys. Guys
have crazy stories. Something's on their
mind they go to a sheur but that's what
you expect when you learn Torah.
Cuz Hashem's talking to us and talking
where we're holding and we could expect
to hear things relevant to our sugiot.
Thank you so much. Thank you Rav Ezzi.
Shloime, you know you cast them yet for
Purim?
That that's that we know. We're asking
which onesie? That's not
It's a good question.
Which
>> [laughter]
>> What do I
Which
I picture Yehuda the swimmer on Shushan
Purim coming into like a very
intentional and he still had like a nose
red nose.
So I guess he has a picture of him like
coming into some like serious shul on
Shushan Purim. He said I guess I didn't
read the room properly like the captain.
Yehuda, if I would predict one guy here,
you know the best guy on Shushan Purim
still in his onesie with like drunk on
Drunk on Still still still the wine the
iron's still on there.
You would you have your costume ready?
Which day is it minutes?
Who's the guy you having?
Leo Pearl
So and then He didn't change till after
shabbos.
That's how we like it that's how we like
it. That's a kibble Google line.
Is Arya we having Arya Purim night
fever?
It's like asking it's like what do you
mean?
As I said
Not
It's a good shot that's a million dollar
question. Million dollar question.
What's the Purim day we are going to
ready to the plans?
>> [applause]
>> Shoes that one
Is that true?
What are we having?
What are we arranging Martha?
Woah [laughter]
>> [singing]
>> Hey
>> [music]
[singing]
[music and singing]
[singing]
[music]
[singing]
>> Haman,
Habra, that song we sing Utsu Etsa
Besufa. Haman asked a little child.
Haman asked a little child. He said say
clips of tell me what possible learning.
Now what is Haman where does Haman come
from Amalek? Haman is an Amalekite.
What's Amalek's primary belief?
Amalek believes something that's that's
that that in far as like the other thing
is hard to like fathom.
Amalek can't understand the biggest
condition of the world. Amalek looks at
it God runs the world you and me can't
be with Hashem.
You can't be with Hashem there's Hashem.
A person what what is a person? You
messed up God's plan you helped God's
plan.
Amalek doesn't believe there's a space
for human beings behavior.
That's why there's
the meal of clap and smile they throw
the bris meal up to the heavens.
Amalek doesn't like Amalek throws meal
meal is that mark on our body that says
we connect Hashem we could work we could
be with Hashem.
Human being could manage and Hashem
cares about the activities of man and we
could be with Hashem Amish.
Human beings actions matter this kid is
him this Hashem. Amalek doesn't feel we
could be with Hashem. What happens when
Haman asked a youngster tell me a
possible what possible does the
youngster say to Amalek? Utsu Etsa
Besufa enemies of our people think of
plans Utsu Etsa they think of plans and
they're thwarted. Dabru Dover they say a
lot of things will I you know why?
Kimanu K Hashem is with us.
The opposite of Amalek, Amalek says
Hashem's not with you, you're not with
Hashem.
And the possuk the kids says to Haman
"Hashem is with us.
He's with us, we're with him. We could
work with Hashem and be with Hashem."
The opposite of Amalek. That's why it
comes out there, we're busy singing that
song.
That's the message to Amalek, that's the
message to us. "Hashem is with us, could
be with Hashem."
It says Vayesav Amalek attacks Amalek
they attack the zone of the tail, the
Mila.
The ice on our body with Hashem, he's
with us. Hashem is with us.
