mom fell my mother my mother fell in her house and had a small fracture in her knee was not capable of walking and she went from the hospital to a nursing home she stayed in the nursing home for about six weeks till they're ready to discharge her but we didn't have a good place to send her or to take her and when I flew to La two weeks ago I get a phone call that says the woman who took care of your mother in the past who has been working elsewhere just became available where she's working her term has ended she's able to come to you would you like to have her and honestly relative for if you have a parent that needs help and Aid they could be up to 30 $35 an hour and if you need 24-hour help that becomes astronomical this lady was taking a a week we call inish okay well well my my we we obviously we said yes and she's going to move in on Wednesday or Thursday and my mom's going to come home on Tuesday this is two weeks ago my sister flies out to Los Angeles so to help the transition from the nursing facility into back home a day later all in a day later the supposed Aid that's coming Falls herself and hurts her back and cancels on us completely also needs first the first day no Aid my mother's going home and there's nobody helping titman so I called up my sister calls a local a local um assisted living facility and the assisted living facility says of course you can bring your mom there's a three-month wait you wait three months wait three months so I called up one of my who as his nursing home and asked him if he could speak to somebody so he put in a call to the owner owners the owners the owners said what one of one of the brothers he spoke to us you know my brother runs it tell my brother because he said it's a rabbi in the community tell him maybe you can do something to help okay I got a number to call somebody I called this fellow up and I introduce myself and he says rebi you know I come to this Shear I've been here for two years I'm the guy

so my sister brought my mother last week Thursday and she moved in barem this week so my mother now lives here on the East Coast so thank you zerin for making this Happ thank you AEM thank you and thank you Zar for making this happen so the Z scho are real okay where to learn is safer having said that we are learning today page letter y b rabai letter yud b amazing stickle of zerin the background to the piece is this week's para with the Jewish people who complained bitterly abouta and again Page Letter in par the the background to this piece which quotes BR is as follows CL left harar they were traveling it was the end of the 40 years in the desert B is are ready to go into erit ISR there's one problem all of the countries that are around erit belong to Nations that CLA is not allowed to fight with them how many how many countries wasu promised in the brisb abar a land of how many nations some people say seven but if you look back in the brisban absar there was 10ar PR which is the Euphrates river that means that the yeden eventually will get all the way till B exactly where came from that's a lot of land well there's a lot of people going and go back to Israel so you need more space so in the meantime said we're going to give that to we're also am and mayv are L's daughters nephews a nephew to write of his nieces great nieces are related to is so says to when you come now to ER one second you want to get into ER you got three choices normally you either get permission right or you fight them them well if you can't get permission you can't fight them because it's their land so you have one other choice that's Le go around like an airplane that's ready to land and they tell him you have to go ahead and circle you could Circle for a half an hour until you get Landing rights clo was told you can't go through or so they had to circle says the typ CL got fed up with circling they were ready to go to now they after to Circle and unfortunately they lost it and you know when a person complains and when a person's in a bad place nothing is good gourish nothing is good so they started complaining about what we're doing here the who needs this it was they had what you would call a meltdown had a meltdown and they complained and thenes writes because they spoke bad abouta because they spoke bad about people started to die these snakes anybody who spoke bad was immediately bitten by a snake and they were nter we have sinned we spoke bad make take a s put it on top of a stick you'll see that and then you will live this is that's it's on every hospital you didn't see my minute today on this yeah it's okay it's on this on a stick every ambulance has a on a stick only hat Chicago has a on the stick the other at tellas don't have they put a heart on or a torch yeah ask him ask him that's right only Chicago that I saw has the stick but that's on a regular ambulance you know where it comes from it comes from this para we're going to talk about this this is the subject why a on the stick I mean we're the serpent put it on the stick anybody who gets bitten and looks at it will see this and will live and will live obviously there are many cashes we're going to learn the Z if we have time we're also learn a little bit of in two weeks from tonight the first question I would ask which is actually thees ask right doesn't usually get answered I mean usually when di for when they made the a he got answered and he forgave them instead of answering him and say I'll heal you he says make a stick and put it put the snake take a snake put it on top of the stick and then when you look at it that's when you're going to live why why not just answer his prayer what happened here man it isn't the way the script usually is whenu is told by many get away I'm going to wipe him out this intervenes for and that's it thanks to we're alive if not for that we'd be gone and here there's a deviation from the norm what is this whole to put a stick take a stick put the on top of it why is this happening here let's see the Z that's your introduction let's see the Zar and all also we'll take a look at the the starts the there was a story orus there was this snake type of toad that's what the that's what the gar ties it I don't know if it was a regular snake and I don't know if it looked like that one okay both this was terrifying the community they told and he said where is the hole where does he come from he told him he took off his shoe put his heel at the hole of the ID the ID smelling flesh came out bit the heel of and it died said behold it's not the it's the if you don't have a sin you don't have anything to be worried about that was what that's the story teach us that you're not allowed to be and you're certainly not allow to be if it's a dangerous situation you can't drive like a m and say is gonna help me because no you can't put yourself into danger and and then say especially he never SED but he put his foot there didn't he he never once he put his foot there he shouldn't right he put himself into a mat of danger the says I have no problem why does Nest he translates means a nest that brings on another Nest like a string of if you got one you'll get another as the says Mori as well as David were given a remes and they acted upon it what are we talking about so he's quoting millas Esther it says as follows Sim the medish says there are four instances where each of these four sikim were given a remes two out of the four acted upon it and two didn't who were they when and cl were fighting against he said why why not you was telling a little REM I'm sorry you're not going to make it into did not pick up on it and he d he still DED again and again 515 times explains the now at the dream he said I want you wherever you go still asks the med how should he goad and be scared the just told you I'm going to take care of you he was still scared the med says he should have been calm and be I'm taking care of you like I just told you those are those two it says because he fought with the lion and he fought with the dove the bear and still how was I able to overcome them I will have the opportunity right he was able Goliath he was able to go after the pish David saw this as a remes and he took it the confidence and with that he conquered the enemy M behold what in the world is going on she's aad and this UD this go is now she's in his house she will save CL Mor was so certain that Esther couldn't be in vish's house for a bad thing she was too good of a person too big of AAS so this must be where we're going to be delivered this is going to be the yahushua says the Zar had Confidence from a previous story he knew that wouldn't allow him to be tripped up how so the gar says that these goats in for Learners was able to carry they they the bear came to attack and his goats killed the bear and brought the bear back with their horns was he realized was smiling at him so he had the confidence if the is smiling at me I'm going to be okay and therefore he decided I'm going to teach the a lesson what's the lesson don't be worried about danger be worried about your be worried about the sin as the story if you just joined us they were there was an UD like a snake a serpent that was terrorizing people took his sh off put his foot at the bottom of the hole and and the came out big did him and the died so the says but how the answer is if you're if you know that made a nest for you in the past and you have a lesson to teach you're allowed to do it that was thead but there is one question I want to share with you says the this lesson that he was trying to teach that it's the sin that causes death they should have known this already there's a the snake only bites because there are people whoes means to whisper if you the snake won't bite you unless you don't whisper first meaning say things you're not supposed to it's because it has been decreed if so question what extra lesson oh it's very simple says if you speak in a way like the will come to bite you if you speak if if you talk like a snake you'll be attacked by a snake so what did say no that's what it says in what's the extra question number one according to according to excuse me according to why did he have to have the ID Die Why did what was the extra lesson he would have said I didn't sin I put my foot here the UR came and he played around with me and I was able you know he tickled him a little bit nothing happened no we had to bite him and die what's the lesson here listen to this V the according to what it says in that Mr what the the animals came to the to the it says that lion says I kill because I eat what are you biting people for when you bite people you don't even eat them you just bite them and you kill them what do you have from this so the says back one of the things he answers is what does the banara have he says and I do it because Hashem tells me me to do it I'm just following orders if they tell me to do it that's why I do it if the serpent bites because they tell him to do it well doesn't didn't he create a maybe we should also cry foul and say what do you want from me I have a it's too hard to overcome I can't overcome it actually in just the other day I said something like that it's too hard maybe I should be considered you know what the lesson is says I want to teach you a major lesson when the ud this Serpent and me fight it out you know what happens the serpent dies you're absolutely right and pay attention they send him even though the Yates or har tries to bite us a you can kill your Yater har you have the power to fight back he killed his any of you fellow learned that yeah you learned tomorrow tomorrow this PK is quoted this P the gar says I quote three people the has no no power had no power over them who were they [Music] says rash do you know what the did for us the gave us back the with the snake outside of us and I want to explain when ad marish was originally created a snake came to him where was that snake it was outside and the snake spoke to and say B when was asked why did you listen to the snake she said he contaminated me and he poisoned me and my mind got messed up she listened to the and she started looking at the world the way the talks the tree looked good are you out of your mind young lady the tree looks good Hashem said don't eat from it what are you looking at how could you look the ter is that she connected to the n and she lost it she ate from it she poisoned her husband he ate from it and then the T says at the end of we have bad heart we're controlled by Yara that control stopped thanks to abov [Music] says right doesn't mean that he didn't have but what happened was they pushed back they arm wrestled until they killed him each one with his mid with his mid and yob know so that when we talk about the nature of a Jewish person [Music] says where does that come from We're merciful people those are the attributes of ab and it's in our DNA it's in our DNA who the that's we'll get there about not today but we'll get there time is coming in two weeks we said at had no impediments no blind people no people with problems until they sinned by but K was holding but we didn't lose it completely we got people it's in our DNA we're embarrassed those natural tendencies that a Jew has who was in G don't eat from the tree you'll go straight to what happens to he eats from the tree what he go goes backwards throws him into the ground finished they lived such a connection like you see no Mal the says no they already started experiencing they already started experienc they already fused the worlds and were MAF the worlds they put a wall up in between the worlds peric wall of they built a wall andov tore the wall down they able to fuse the Two Worlds together that's what they did says watch I put my foot on the hole watch what happens to this little Serpent and snake when he bites me he dies he dies you can kill your y you can kill your y you have the to do it don't just feel like you're a like you're at I'm lost I can't do it yes you can now says thees so why didn't when whenu DAV CL came to M and saidu we sinned pray for us prayed what did say take a SIM put it on top of the stick and then let everybody look at it why says the who felt they hadn't done full chuva they were remorseful but it wasn't complete so wanted to teach them a lesson look at the snake you made this you made this don't wait for M to wipe out your problem you fix it look at where you put the snake you made it you put it there you look at it you contemplate and then you fix it up and that's how you're going to be healed that's don't wait for yenim the ambulance picks up a person you want the doctors to save you there's a snake and a stick on the ambulance the same and it's the that's I don't know if the people who put the stick with the understood the message that we're understanding thanks toes you think the doctor is GNA save you save yourself understand that you have to get closer to the that's where the hat comes from that's where we get the hat and that's where saves us so the didn't just want thata should DAV for them go to the Reb I have a problem fix my problem no you fix your problem you made it who put that on top of that stick you did bring it down if you look at actually made 18 copies for the then says that you can take a look look seven different things you should look at look at that you see where it is it stopped talking it's it's no it's not talking stop talking too stop talking that's why look where you put it up there it was down on the floor now you put it up you put it up there you empowered it realize that it's on top of the stick because of what you said that's why it's there learn from that understand that then he says I'll give you a couple more when you look at the and you understand that that is you and you're willing to stop talking then you live from that the mistake that you make becomes the source of exactly look up and look what happened in your personal life you'll know the that get to every single ye look up see where you put it know that when you look at it the right way what does the mishna say the m in R is the when we look up we have humility and that's what heals us why didn't M just DAV for cl and cl get healed immediately why didem say take the snake and put it on the stick and let them look up the ter says let them learn what their actions can do and let them learn how to fix their actions and then and then they will live the every single one of us should have this story
