00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,760
Hello friends welcome back today
2
00:00:02,801 --> 00:00:04,799
we're going to be talking about something
3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,839
that is very very important you want to stick
4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,200
around for this video anybody
5
00:00:10,241 --> 00:00:12,360
who has heard of this guy
6
00:00:12,401 --> 00:00:14,759
I want you to leave it in the comments below
7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,940
there is a man who is causing such a star
8
00:00:17,981 --> 00:00:20,160
in Israel and let's just face it
9
00:00:20,201 --> 00:00:22,199
if somebody is causing this much of a stir
10
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:25,500
in Israel especially we as Christians
11
00:00:25,541 --> 00:00:27,359
need to be looking at because this is
12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,720
a clue to how close we are so you want
13
00:00:30,761 --> 00:00:32,279
to share this video with your friends
14
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,880
and family you want to let them know just
15
00:00:35,921 --> 00:00:39,000
how close we are and this is a huge indicator
16
00:00:39,041 --> 00:00:44,140
this man's name is Yanuka Rav Shlomo Yehuda
17
00:00:44,181 --> 00:00:47,340
so apparently the title Yanuka
18
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:50,760
is given to someone
19
00:00:50,801 --> 00:00:52,739
who has
20
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:55,440
an astonishing
21
00:00:55,481 --> 00:01:00,840
amount of knowledge and is proficient
22
00:01:00,881 --> 00:01:03,719
in the Torah and the Talmud so we're going
23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,119
to get into that, this is it's
24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,460
it's almost
25
00:01:07,501 --> 00:01:10,920
miraculous and non-human how much
26
00:01:10,961 --> 00:01:16,040
this man knows so he actually has thousands
27
00:01:16,081 --> 00:01:19,280
of people and I have video
28
00:01:19,321 --> 00:01:22,619
thousands of people literally swarm
29
00:01:22,660 --> 00:01:26,460
around him when he goes anywhere
30
00:01:26,501 --> 00:01:29,820
and that includes prominent rabbis
31
00:01:29,861 --> 00:01:34,500
in Israel and he's young he's maybe
32
00:01:34,541 --> 00:01:36,540
in his mid-30s
33
00:01:36,581 --> 00:01:37,799
um
34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,340
yeah they they kiss his hands they hang
35
00:01:41,381 --> 00:01:44,720
on every word he's accredited
36
00:01:44,761 --> 00:01:47,220
to performing miracles
37
00:01:47,261 --> 00:01:50,759
and I want to say even the people
38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,500
that
39
00:01:52,541 --> 00:01:54,479
who claimed that they had received
40
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,579
a miracle at his hand
41
00:01:56,620 --> 00:01:59,220
none of them have given any credit
42
00:01:59,261 --> 00:02:01,920
to God they give the credit to this guy
43
00:02:01,961 --> 00:02:05,579
so okay so like I said the title Yanuka is given
44
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:07,680
to somebody who is extremely well versed
45
00:02:07,721 --> 00:02:10,679
in both the Torah which is
46
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,200
the Old Testament and the Talmud
47
00:02:13,241 --> 00:02:15,959
which is the oral Traditions handed down
48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,180
through generations by the Jews and
49
00:02:18,221 --> 00:02:20,640
they started writing them I want to say
50
00:02:20,681 --> 00:02:23,520
it was in the 1300s. I'm not sure about that
51
00:02:23,561 --> 00:02:26,640
but he's also very proficient in music
52
00:02:26,681 --> 00:02:28,860
so was the double just saying
53
00:02:28,901 --> 00:02:31,160
but yeah he's
54
00:02:31,201 --> 00:02:32,780
extremely
55
00:02:32,821 --> 00:02:35,340
like this isn't even humanly possible
56
00:02:35,381 --> 00:02:39,000
for somebody to have memorized
57
00:02:39,041 --> 00:02:42,140
all of that by the age of 15.
58
00:02:43,181 --> 00:02:46,560
he has prominent rabbis following him
59
00:02:46,601 --> 00:02:50,940
you can see people just mobbed around him
60
00:02:50,981 --> 00:02:52,680
and kissing his hands and
61
00:02:52,721 --> 00:02:56,700
proclaiming miracles from this man
62
00:02:56,741 --> 00:02:59,340
it's just crazy I've never seen
63
00:02:59,381 --> 00:03:02,640
anybody followed like this
64
00:03:02,681 --> 00:03:06,120
in Israel so this is significant
65
00:03:06,161 --> 00:03:08,099
and you can see them crowded around
66
00:03:08,140 --> 00:03:09,360
all of these people here
67
00:03:09,401 --> 00:03:11,580
are there to see him
68
00:03:11,621 --> 00:03:15,120
they're there to see him
69
00:03:15,161 --> 00:03:16,440
I think this is at a tomb
70
00:03:16,481 --> 00:03:19,800
of Rachel maybe and he's praying
71
00:03:19,841 --> 00:03:22,440
at the tomb of Rachel but
72
00:03:22,481 --> 00:03:25,819
all of these people are mobbed around him
73
00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:29,220
and this is very reminiscent
74
00:03:29,261 --> 00:03:32,159
of how the people followed Jesus and
75
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,060
that that's prominent rabbis kissing
76
00:03:36,101 --> 00:03:40,739
his hands and seeking him out for advice and
77
00:03:40,780 --> 00:03:44,819
to say prayers and supplications and
78
00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:48,360
you know it's just astonishing that
79
00:03:48,401 --> 00:03:51,180
a person could receive this sort of accolation
80
00:03:51,221 --> 00:03:54,840
from from prominent rabbis in Israel
81
00:03:54,881 --> 00:03:56,459
we know that they're waiting on the Messiah
82
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:59,299
still this man is likely going to be
83
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:02,340
who they're going to name the Messiah
84
00:04:02,381 --> 00:04:05,340
because nobody else has came
85
00:04:05,381 --> 00:04:09,120
in history besides Jesus
86
00:04:09,161 --> 00:04:13,560
who was so proficient in the Torah
87
00:04:13,601 --> 00:04:15,840
and now their Talmud as well
88
00:04:15,881 --> 00:04:18,840
okay and keep in mind we do know
89
00:04:18,881 --> 00:04:22,019
that they do have five red heifers over there
90
00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:26,460
now in Israel and they are getting ready
91
00:04:26,501 --> 00:04:29,820
for the sacrifices in the temple
92
00:04:29,861 --> 00:04:32,520
they're getting ready for all
93
00:04:32,561 --> 00:04:35,720
everything is lining up exactly how the Bible tells us
94
00:04:35,761 --> 00:04:39,139
and for all of these high up rabbis
95
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:42,600
to be kissing his hands
96
00:04:42,641 --> 00:04:44,699
it's it's crazy
97
00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:47,160
okay so you've seen the video
98
00:04:47,201 --> 00:04:49,320
you've seen how
99
00:04:49,361 --> 00:04:53,460
people are just literally flocking and
100
00:04:53,501 --> 00:04:57,660
that is so reminiscent of Jesus
101
00:04:57,701 --> 00:04:59,580
when Jesus was here
102
00:04:59,621 --> 00:05:02,820
all of these people flocked around him
103
00:05:02,861 --> 00:05:04,080
just even
104
00:05:04,121 --> 00:05:06,000
if they could just reach through the crowd
105
00:05:06,041 --> 00:05:07,800
and touch the hem of his garment
106
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:10,380
people flocked around him
107
00:05:10,421 --> 00:05:14,160
thousands followed him to hear him speak
108
00:05:14,201 --> 00:05:15,960
that's what's happening with this guy
109
00:05:16,001 --> 00:05:19,259
okay so the thing is if they proclaim
110
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,720
this man to be the Messiah
111
00:05:21,761 --> 00:05:23,520
the long-awaited Messiah
112
00:05:23,561 --> 00:05:25,380
that the Jews have been waiting for
113
00:05:25,421 --> 00:05:27,180
because we know that the Jews don't believe
114
00:05:27,221 --> 00:05:29,580
that Jesus was the Messiah
115
00:05:29,621 --> 00:05:31,680
this has been a long outstanding question
116
00:05:31,721 --> 00:05:33,720
among Christians
117
00:05:33,761 --> 00:05:36,240
how could somebody come along
118
00:05:36,281 --> 00:05:38,419
that the Jews would accept and
119
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:40,919
the Muslims would accept because
120
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,440
if he's Jewish why would the Muslims accept him
121
00:05:44,481 --> 00:05:46,620
and if he's Muslim
122
00:05:46,661 --> 00:05:48,300
how could the Jews accept him
123
00:05:48,341 --> 00:05:50,580
somehow there's going to be peace
124
00:05:50,621 --> 00:05:53,220
between the Jews and the Muslims
125
00:05:53,261 --> 00:05:56,039
we know this the Bible tells us this
126
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,800
but how this has been a question for so long
127
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:05,400
the Muslims believe and it's written
128
00:06:05,441 --> 00:06:09,180
in their Quran that Jesus
129
00:06:09,221 --> 00:06:11,160
they don't believe Jesus was the son of God
130
00:06:11,201 --> 00:06:14,100
but they do believe he was a prophet
131
00:06:14,141 --> 00:06:17,759
and in their Quran they say
132
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,240
when their Mahadi, their Messiah
133
00:06:21,281 --> 00:06:25,259
when their Mahadi comes he will come with Jesus
134
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:28,160
and Jesus will be like a minister to him
135
00:06:28,201 --> 00:06:33,180
and like a prophet
136
00:06:33,221 --> 00:06:36,120
um a false prophet
137
00:06:36,161 --> 00:06:38,759
that's the thing that's the thing
138
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,380
right there
139
00:06:40,421 --> 00:06:45,380
if this man is going to be proclaimed
140
00:06:45,421 --> 00:06:47,759
to be the Messiah
141
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,380
and proclaimed to be Jesus
142
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:56,400
the only way the Muslims would accept him is
143
00:06:56,441 --> 00:07:00,660
if he proclaimed their Mahadi
144
00:07:00,701 --> 00:07:03,300
and
145
00:07:03,341 --> 00:07:05,100
worked with him
146
00:07:05,141 --> 00:07:08,460
like their Quran says he will
147
00:07:08,501 --> 00:07:13,080
this might be something very significant
148
00:07:13,121 --> 00:07:13,680
um
149
00:07:13,721 --> 00:07:15,780
yeah I want to know your thoughts on this
150
00:07:15,821 --> 00:07:18,300
because I haven't heard a lot of people
151
00:07:18,341 --> 00:07:21,419
talking about this, I feel like
152
00:07:21,460 --> 00:07:24,720
if this really is significant
153
00:07:24,761 --> 00:07:26,039
there will be
154
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,800
a lot more talk about, a lot of people
155
00:07:28,841 --> 00:07:30,240
are going to start talking about this guy
156
00:07:30,281 --> 00:07:32,400
and
157
00:07:32,441 --> 00:07:35,220
yeah it's going to be significant if
158
00:07:35,261 --> 00:07:37,380
it's anything I mean you know the Bible says
159
00:07:37,421 --> 00:07:39,000
that there will be lots of false prophets
160
00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:41,880
lots of false Messiahs who come
161
00:07:41,921 --> 00:07:44,940
and say I'm the Messiah so it might be
162
00:07:44,981 --> 00:07:47,400
just something like that but it could be
163
00:07:47,441 --> 00:07:50,759
something we don't know because
164
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,259
this guy is so proficient
165
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:58,620
it's not even humanly possible
166
00:07:58,661 --> 00:08:01,479
everything that he accomplished by the age of 15.
167
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,180
so I do think
168
00:08:03,221 --> 00:08:06,180
this is a significant person
169
00:08:06,221 --> 00:08:08,460
that we should be keeping an eye on
170
00:08:08,501 --> 00:08:11,639

with your friends and family because
183
00:08:41,140 --> 00:08:44,180
they need to know
184
00:08:44,221 --> 00:08:46,680
how close the time is
185
00:08:46,721 --> 00:08:49,019
this is significant and honestly
186
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:52,019
it makes me feel very excited
187
00:08:52,060 --> 00:08:55,339
that the Rapture is close because we already know
188
00:08:55,380 --> 00:08:57,420
who the Messiah is
189
00:08:57,461 --> 00:08:59,880
it is Jesus our savior and he's coming back
190
00:08:59,921 --> 00:09:01,080
for his church
191
00:09:01,121 --> 00:09:03,060
if all of this stuff is getting ready to break out
192
00:09:03,101 --> 00:09:04,920
that just tells us
193
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:08,820
how close the Rapture really is
194
00:09:08,861 --> 00:09:11,560
so anyway I hope you're all having a great day
195
00:09:11,601 --> 00:09:14,420
and I will talk to you next time, bye bye for now
196
00:09:19,172 --> 00:09:23,051
Look at the sun shining and say
"I also shine"
197
00:09:23,051 --> 00:09:25,345
"I also contain light for every humen being"
198
00:09:35,772 --> 00:09:38,567
We don't know the potential
of each person
199
00:09:38,567 --> 00:09:41,486
We don't know how immeasurable each person is
200
00:09:42,738 --> 00:09:46,116
The Yanuka
201
00:09:54,666 --> 00:09:58,211
A rare documentary of an extraordinary tzaddik and Torah genius, the Yanuka, Rav Shlomo Yehuda Be’ari Shlit”a
202
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:06,762
This Torah Giant is renowned for his knowledge and deep understanding in all areas of the Torah. Rabbinic leaders testify: "His wisdom is more vast than the sea." "Such a soul descends to the world once in several generations."
203
00:10:07,137 --> 00:10:18,065
At the age of 17, he began to attract students. About a year later, when pressed by leading Rabbis, his lectures were opened to the public. And from henceforward, they coined him "The Yanuka" (An appellation from the Zohar for a child who was proficient in the entire Torah)
204
00:10:38,418 --> 00:10:43,381
The Yanuka was born in 5747 (1988)
And named after his two grandfathers, Shlomo and Yehuda
205
00:10:43,381 --> 00:10:46,218
His father, dancing with him in the synagogue
206
00:10:46,218 --> 00:10:52,766
Rare photos from the home of his grandmother
Who, from the day he was born, made sure his head was always covered
207
00:10:53,433 --> 00:10:56,436
His childhood was spent in the Jewish Quarter of Girona, Spain
208
00:10:56,436 --> 00:11:00,148
The hometown of the Ramban, Rabbeinu Yona, and other Rishonim
(Rabbinical Scholars from the 11th-15th Century)
209
00:11:00,148 --> 00:11:03,944
The street where he lived as a child
210
00:11:03,944 --> 00:11:07,489
Subsequently, his parents moved to Sevilla
211
00:11:07,489 --> 00:11:11,368
He dedicated his special, pure childhood
to love of Torah
212
00:11:11,368 --> 00:11:22,254
He began writing Torah novella, prayers, and insights into Hashem's greatness
213
00:11:22,254 --> 00:11:25,924
His life revolved around love of Hashem
In His honor he would sketch
214
00:11:25,924 --> 00:11:31,680
Drawings containing Torah novellas
215
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:36,977
He recorded for himself thoughts about cleaving to Hashem
216
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:51,908
From his early years, he collected portraits of all the Tzaddikim (righteous people), and would frequently gaze at them with longing, eager to know all their compilations, customs, acts of piety, as well as their lineage, all of which he engraved in his memory. Over the years, it grew to a collection of thousands of pictures, many extremely rare, complied in a book he titled: "Toldos Adam" (the generations of man)
217
00:11:51,908 --> 00:12:01,960
"The rumor has spread like wildfire… A youth, who at 15 had mastered the Shas (Talmud) by heart…" "... Who is the Yanuka, who just now turned 21 years of age? From where did he come from, and why do hundreds of people flock each week to hear him delivering words of Torah and playing the piano, to hear words of Torah from him and hear him play ...?"
218
00:12:06,715 --> 00:12:10,343
In time, the public began flowing into his Bais Medrash (Study Hall) in droves
219
00:12:10,343 --> 00:12:14,097
Tremendous Torah scholars
220
00:12:14,097 --> 00:12:17,726
Large audiences
221
00:12:17,726 --> 00:12:21,438
From all walks of life
222
00:12:21,438 --> 00:12:25,108
Together with prominent Torah scholars and halachic (Laws & Customs) authorities
223
00:12:25,108 --> 00:12:28,320
Who come to hear the sweetness of his Torah insights,
224
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,449
Everyone feels
225
00:12:32,449 --> 00:12:35,994
That Ruach HaKodesh (Divine Inspiration) is emanating from his mouth.
226
00:12:35,994 --> 00:12:43,126
The majority of his lectures begin with a question or topic raised from the audience
227
00:12:43,126 --> 00:12:47,589
The Yanuka replies with a Torah insight comprised from hundreds of sources from the entire spectrum of the Torah
228
00:12:47,589 --> 00:12:51,134
Torah insights that reveal
awesome grandeur
229
00:12:51,134 --> 00:12:54,721
That illustrate the revelations
of the Yanuka (the child prodigy) found in the Zohar
230
00:12:54,721 --> 00:12:58,350
His words bring rejuvenation to everyone
imbued with purity and holiness
231
00:12:58,350 --> 00:13:01,978
Inspiring transformation and growth
232
00:13:01,978 --> 00:13:05,815
Connecting Torah and heart
233
00:13:05,815 --> 00:13:10,487
And arousing longing for the creator
234
00:13:10,487 --> 00:13:16,743
An amazing spectacle that has not been for generations
235
00:13:16,743 --> 00:13:20,372
A large audience of Torah scholars and halachic authorities. Here is a glimpse:
236
00:13:20,372 --> 00:13:22,499
Who arrive to delight in the words of the Torah
237
00:13:22,499 --> 00:13:25,335
from a 'master of wisdom who is tender in years'
238
00:13:54,531 --> 00:13:57,367
His compositions and lectures illuminate the lives of thousands
239
00:13:57,367 --> 00:14:01,746
Diligent about his works, having completed several of them by age 19
240
00:14:17,887 --> 00:14:22,017
At 20, he married hid predetermined soulmate
241
00:14:22,017 --> 00:14:26,146
Who is a descendant of the "Defender of the Jewish people"
Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev.
242
00:14:26,146 --> 00:14:30,150
Among the wedding attendees were esteemed Sages and scholars who view him as their Rabbi - spiritual guide
243
00:14:31,192 --> 00:14:35,822
Music plays a significant role in his life
244
00:14:35,822 --> 00:14:40,076
At the conclusion of his lectures, the Yanuka plays the piano in his unique style
245
00:14:40,076 --> 00:14:43,520
Joined by other musicians
246
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,521
The legendary cantor Rabbi Chaim Eliezer Hershtik
and the famous violinist, Rabbi Daniel Ahaviel
247
00:15:02,932 --> 00:15:06,353
"Hashem's precepts are just – rejoicing the heart" (Psalms 19:9)
248
00:15:06,353 --> 00:15:09,814
One thing I ask of Hashem"
"and that will I seek
249
00:15:09,814 --> 00:15:15,640
to dwell in Hashem's house, all the days of my life"
"to gaze upon the beauty of Hashem, to frequent His Holy Temple (psalms 27:4)
250
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:22,810
A moving scene of all walks of Judaism
united and singing with joy and spiritual elevation
251
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:36,515
The Yanuka is history, in the making with his proficiency in his comprehension of torah, brilliantly combining the paths of the holy Sages throughout the generations his has brought clarity and direction accepted by everyone
252
00:15:37,592 --> 00:15:46,601
Blessed are You…Who has apportioned of His knowledge to those who fear Him."
253
00:15:51,981 --> 00:15:59,072
In prayer, passion for the Torah, with
great toil and diligence
254
00:15:59,072 --> 00:16:01,449
Already in his youth, he merited the Torah permeating his entire being
255
00:16:01,449 --> 00:16:04,369
like the guiding lights throughout the generations
256
00:16:04,369 --> 00:16:09,874
We are witnesses to a personality from the past,
amidst the spiritual giants,
257
00:16:09,874 --> 00:16:12,377
Who protected the Torah and brought miracles for all
258
00:16:12,627 --> 00:16:16,339
The Yanuka frequently visits the remnants of our Bais HaMikdash (Holy Temple)
259
00:16:16,339 --> 00:16:20,468
leading supplications for the restoration of the The Divine Presence
260
00:16:20,468 --> 00:16:25,682
And visits the burial site of the Arizal, (Rabbi Isaac Luria Ashkenazi (1534 - 1572) from whom is a descendant of on his mother's side, and feels a special connection with him. From whom he descended on his mother's side, and feels a special connection with him.
261
00:16:25,682 --> 00:16:33,648
He is accustomed to holding an annual festive gathering upon the completion of all parts of the Torah (divided up into three times in the year)
262
00:16:33,648 --> 00:16:36,734
"…returning to You Holy Torah."
263
00:16:37,235 --> 00:16:42,699
A soul like his does not descend in every generation
264
00:16:42,699 --> 00:16:44,617
it descends once in many generations
265
00:16:45,285 --> 00:16:47,078
The unique Gaon and Tzaddik
266
00:16:47,078 --> 00:16:49,622
it is impossible to find the accolades to ascribe to him
267
00:16:49,622 --> 00:16:55,670
(all areas of Torah); The Torah, Prophets, Writings, Talmud Bavli and Yerushalmi
Rishonim, Acharonim, Zohar, Midrash, Kabbalah… (all areas of the Torah)
268
00:16:55,670 --> 00:17:02,927
Everything is fluent as if it was all laid out before him
269
00:17:02,927 --> 00:17:10,059
The Gaon, Tzaddik, Kabbalist,
master of the entire Talmud
270
00:17:10,059 --> 00:17:14,606
Zohar, Midrashim, and the entire Torah
271
00:17:14,606 --> 00:17:16,983
The Yanuka is an outstanding Torah scholar
272
00:17:16,983 --> 00:17:18,735
It's incredible, it's incredible, it's incredible
273
00:17:18,735 --> 00:17:22,572
His proficiency and comprehension of Torah in all areas…
274
00:17:22,572 --> 00:17:24,699
His Torah achievements
proclaim his greatness
275
00:17:24,699 --> 00:17:31,039
Whoever is in his vicinity is the recipient of much sanctity
276
00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:32,457
He is very pure
277
00:17:32,457 --> 00:17:37,253
He knows everything, whatever one speaks with him he is familiar
278
00:17:37,253 --> 00:17:41,382
Nothing is hidden from him –
in the revealed or hidden Torah
279
00:17:41,382 --> 00:17:42,675
There is nothing that he does not know
280
00:17:42,675 --> 00:17:47,972
[He is] a unique and special soul that has descended into the world
to illuminate the world
281
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:53,366
"You will decree and it will be fulfilled" (Job 22:28) Many have experienced salvation through his blessing and in the power of his Torah and witnessed miracles transcending the forces of nature
282
00:17:53,770 --> 00:17:58,191
He gazed at the Chanukah lights
looked at me
283
00:17:58,191 --> 00:18:00,485
And told me, "Today!"
284
00:18:00,485 --> 00:18:01,736
Just like that. Simply, "Today!"
285
00:18:01,903 --> 00:18:05,073
The malignant tumors disappeared!:
He repeated the tests - and everything disappeared!
286
00:18:05,073 --> 00:18:06,407
He couldn't move; he would walk crookedly.
287
00:18:06,407 --> 00:18:08,618
He walked with his back hunched over
288
00:18:08,618 --> 00:18:10,703
I remember how he would cry out; walk, and cry
289
00:18:10,703 --> 00:18:12,455
He couldn't walk
290
00:18:12,455 --> 00:18:13,498
Everything vanished, Baruch Hashem (Bless/Thank G-D)!
291
00:18:13,498 --> 00:18:14,874
It's a miracle; there is absolutely no explanation for it
292
00:18:15,083 --> 00:18:15,833
"Before the Sabbath, they released him from prison.": I said it's a miracle
293
00:18:15,833 --> 00:18:18,002
"Before the Sabbath, they released him from prison.": A miracle not from this world!
294
00:18:18,002 --> 00:18:19,379
A wonder transcending nature
295
00:18:19,379 --> 00:18:21,339
Something altering the laws of nature
296
00:18:21,339 --> 00:18:23,258
Exactly as the Rav said!!
297
00:18:23,258 --> 00:18:25,009
. Lawyer Sagiv Rothenberg International Criminal Law Specialist:
This is an irregular story
298
00:18:25,009 --> 00:18:27,512
An unbelievable occurrence!
299
00:18:27,512 --> 00:18:29,556
I don't have any other word for it… a miracle
300
00:18:29,556 --> 00:18:32,725
I told him, "The Rav, I'm begging you…Now!"
He told me, "Now, now, now"
301
00:18:32,725 --> 00:18:35,353
There will be no pain! No surgery!
302
00:18:35,353 --> 00:18:38,690
There is no need for anything… not doctors... nothing
Everything will pass as if it never was!!
303
00:18:38,690 --> 00:18:43,903
I rose from the chair and began to dance,
and show "Look, it doesn't hurt!"
304
00:18:43,903 --> 00:18:45,822
she said, "What, you don't feel pain now?"
I told her, "I don't feel anything!"
305
00:18:45,822 --> 00:18:47,949
"Anything at all!
Not even the slightest remembrance!"
306
00:18:47,949 --> 00:18:52,787
No surgery! No medications! Nothing!
In that very moment everything vanished as if it never was
307
00:18:52,787 --> 00:18:54,664
It sounds like storie about the ‘Baal Shem Tov’
308
00:18:54,664 --> 00:18:57,120
But yes, this is an actualization of the stories of the Baal Shem Tov
309
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:09,760
This video was made in honor of out teacher and rabbi, the Yanuka's 33rd birthday I express gratitude first and foremost to the Creator of the World for having sent us this Tzaddik, the foundation of the world, the genius, The Yanuka, Rav Shlomo Yehuda Be’ari Shlit”a. And to my teacher and Rabbi, for all he has invested in me, and for the total transformation that has taken place in my life
310
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,801
Special thanks to all who assisted gathering material for the video: Moshe Davidovitch, Mishpacha Magazine, Y. Shalom for the rare pictures, S. Kalman for the footage and documentation, Y. Moses for the rare material, D. Friedman and to all who wish to remain anonymous. With blessings, Aryeh Gold
311
00:19:13,001 --> 00:19:17,029
Acclamations of a Tzaddik
Torah Scholars Pay Homage to the Grandeur of the Gaon, the Yanuka, His Torah and Unity He Radiates to All
Special Moments from the Annual Event of the Completion of the Entire Torah 5783 & More
312
00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:26,920
Remarkable Occasions – Awe-Inspiring Scenes of Harmonious Torah Study, Solidarity among Yisrael, with Events of Celebrating the Torah Learning and More from Our Master, Our Teacher, The Gaon, The Yanuka.
313
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,559
What is the purpose of this gathering?
314
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:30,599
Why have all the great Rabbis gathered here?
315
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:33,239
Why have all the Rabbinic leaders of our judicial system
gathered together?
316
00:19:33,239 --> 00:19:36,800
Why have all of you, the thousands of people that are loyal
and trustworthy to Yisrael,
317
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,199
What is so unique and special about this massive and holy
gathering?
318
00:19:43,719 --> 00:19:46,639
My dear friends, we have merited to be a part of a very
exceptional event
319
00:19:46,639 --> 00:19:49,079
An event that only occurs in a few generations
320
00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:52,119
The completion of the entire Torah with complete
comprehension
321
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,800
I am filled with awe and trepidation that I have permission
to speak
322
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,079
in the presence of a Gaon (a brilliant genius) of Yisrael who
is absolutely embellished with incredible humility
323
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:07,119
The mere fact that he has existed in this world for so long
324
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,800
With no one knowing about him
325
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,519
We have never witnessed such a phenomenon
326
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:14,960
We have not witnessed a phenomenon where someone gives a
lecture and thousands of people assemble to listen to him speak
327
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,559
The Torah declares before him; this is the Torah that
emanates from deep humbleness
328
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,199
I am convinced that the next song,
329
00:20:21,199 --> 00:20:25,079
All of us together can dedicate to the Rav (The
Yanuka)
330
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:27,079
The lyrics are from a letter from the “Chazon Ish”
331
00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:30,480
A person who is worthy of knowing the entire Torah,
332
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,159
And he walks amongst men,
333
00:20:32,159 --> 00:20:34,320
And even appears to be a human being,
334
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,519
But in truth, he is an angel
335
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:40,679
And indeed a meritorious man
336
00:20:40,679 --> 00:20:44,920
Meriting Torah knowledge
337
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,119
He walks among people
338
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,320
And appears to be a person
339
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,840
And indeed a meritorious man
340
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,760
Meriting Torah knowledge
341
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,760
He walks among people
342
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,119
And appears to be a person
343
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,480
But in reality, he is an angel
344
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,719
Living among the mortal
345
00:21:18,719 --> 00:21:22,679
And he lives a life - of living Nobility
346
00:21:22,679 --> 00:21:27,199
And exalted above all glory
347
00:21:27,199 --> 00:21:31,199
But in reality, he is an angel
348
00:21:31,199 --> 00:21:35,400
Living among the mortal
349
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,320
And he lives a life - of living Nobility
350
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,519
And exalted above all glory
351
00:21:43,719 --> 00:21:47,239
A soul so great, a soul so enormous
352
00:21:47,239 --> 00:21:50,519
His body may be young (the meaning of “Yanuka”) however,
his soul is massive.
353
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,719
One wonder of this generation
354
00:21:56,719 --> 00:21:59,840
Is this righteous man who will enter this room
355
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,239
I am one of the first residents of Tzfat, here
356
00:22:04,239 --> 00:22:06,880
From the year 1974
357
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,840
And there has never been an evening like this
358
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,119
There is a lot of Torah, and many Torah scholars
359
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:21,559
Nevertheless, there is a lack of unity,
of love for one another,
360
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:28,639
It seems there is only one exceptional individual
that can do such a thing
361
00:22:28,639 --> 00:22:31,440
The Rav (Rabbi), the Gaon, the Pious
362
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:35,599
No one knows the magnitude of our souls,
363
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:38,800
Each one of us has a tremendous soul
364
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,320
It is impossible to grasp the immensity of our souls
365
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,760
We are all one entity; our roots originate from one source
366
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,199
I ask permission from the holy people of Yisrael
367
00:22:50,199 --> 00:22:54,000
Through the kindness of Hashem, we have with us here today
368
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:05,039
Someone who is capable of connecting the Creator
of the world to all of Yisrael
369
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:07,360
I am speaking about ideas that I know about,
370
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:08,679
I am not telling over stories
371
00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:10,960
I don’t like these run-of-the-mill stories
372
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,199
I take full responsibility for every word that I am saying
373
00:23:14,199 --> 00:23:16,440
And with the kindness of Hashem
374
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,840
Everything is true about him!
375
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,960
If you are seeing
376
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,639
A true servant of Hashem
377
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,119
Learn from him!
378
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,239
I think if you see an elderly Jew
379
00:23:30,239 --> 00:23:31,639
Who is speaking like this
380
00:23:31,639 --> 00:23:33,679
It is obvious that there is something to what he is saying
381
00:23:33,679 --> 00:23:36,960
There are serious implications
382
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:49,320
The Rav should sit, your honor should sit, the honorable one…
383
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,480
I listen, I listen to what people tell me to do
384
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,599
How do we speed up (the redemption?)
385
00:23:55,599 --> 00:23:57,880
Perhaps this is what we should do “and their cry for help from the bondage rose up to God.”
386
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,199
The people of Yisrael must lift up their eyes
387
00:24:00,199 --> 00:24:02,760
And beseech the Kingdom of Hashem
388
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,280
To understand that He needs to be our King – then He will reign as King
389
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,519
We must cry from the depths of our hearts
in desperation for His Kingdom, Amain, Amain.
390
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,920
It is unbelievable, in the revealed and of the secrets of the Torah
391
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,800
He is a master of the entire Talmud, there has never been such a thing
392
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,079
in the revealed and of the secrets of the Torah, with every single detail
393
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:31,320
Sixty Tractates that the Rabbi is proficient in all of them
394
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:38,000
His sterling character and character traits of this holy Rabbi, his humility
395
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:42,920
Everyone sees how he connects to each person
396
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,480
And the Torah is drawn to him like a magnet
397
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:52,519
Our teacher, the Rav, the great Gaon
398
00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:59,559
To our amazement, every part of the Torah flows from him like a spring
399
00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:04,280
no matter the affiliation, what circle or social group
you come from, everyone congregates around him
400
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:10,119
That is his love of Yisrael, which penetrates deep within his heart
401
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,679
In an amazing way
402
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,679
And his humility is so great
403
00:25:18,679 --> 00:25:23,559
Like it says, “and Moshe went down to the nation”
404
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,239
I also want you to bless me
405
00:25:26,239 --> 00:25:27,360
Could you bless me?
406
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:30,840
I need the Rabbi to give me a blessing
407
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,079
Me? I am not deserving to give the Rabbi a blessing.
408
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:36,360
You are much more deserving than I am
409
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,679
Because your qualities are greater than mine
410
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,199
The harder the challenges are
411
00:25:41,199 --> 00:25:44,719
The greater you are in everything that you do,
412
00:25:44,719 --> 00:25:47,400
The King is so much more delighted with the gifts you bring
Him,
413
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,679
Saintly one, you are so pious and righteous.
414
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,760
This would be a fantastic gift for me and The Holy One,
Blessed Be He (HaKadosh Baruch Hu).
415
00:25:54,760 --> 00:26:00,199
If the Rav could come to my Bar Mitzvah
on the 16th of Tishrei in Jerusalem
416
00:26:00,199 --> 00:26:05,679
This would be a true honor to The Holy One, Blessed Be He
(HaKadosh Baruch Hu) and would make me very happy,
417
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,679
If the Rav agreed to sit here that would make me very happy
418
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,360
If the Rav could say a few words, that would make me very happy
419
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:25,039
There is so much to learn and observe
from his outstanding persona (Chezki’s) and what…
420
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:28,280
Just look at him and see how he encourages and strengthens everyone
421
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,000
And how he lifts the eyes of everyone around him to the heavens
422
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,159
And how he makes the nation of Yisrael happy
423
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:43,199
Who knows if this is not the entire reason our teacher and
our Rabbi has come here
424
00:26:45,159 --> 00:26:48,400
To gather around him
425
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,920
To learn from his behavior
426
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,039
Our teacher and Leader a Gaon of Yisrael
427
00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:00,960
That the entire width and breadth of the Torah
428
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,119
Is so clear to him, is most astonishing
429
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:10,880
This is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind soul
which has descended into this world
430
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:20,320
I have listened to him, and that fact is “the roads of the heavens are as clear
to him as the roads of the city Neharda.”
431
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:27,079
I also had the opportunity to be together with him for quite some time,
432
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:31,920
And we spoke, and I saw his greatness and his power
433
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,000
Torah, Prophets, Scriptures, the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud
434
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,000
From the 10th-century commentators until the contemporary ones,
Zohar, Midrash, and Kabbalah, knowing everything verbatim.
435
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,880
The Gaon, the Pious, the Mekubal, master of the entire Talmud
436
00:27:48,159 --> 00:27:52,600
Zohar, Midrashim the complete Torah
437
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,239
The whole Torah, whatever you talk to him about,
he knows it, all of it
438
00:27:57,239 --> 00:28:01,399
All the secrets, nothing escapes him, both in the revealed
and in the hidden parts of Torah
439
00:28:01,399 --> 00:28:02,680
There is nothing he does not know
440
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,439
His comprehensive and vast knowledge of every part of Torah
441
00:28:06,439 --> 00:28:08,640
The banner of the Torah is on him
442
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,760
The Yanuka is like an Angel
443
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,600
He is capable of remembering the entire Torah, everything
444
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,600
This is something so amazing, something…
This is a prodigious soul, really something else
445
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,760
My friends, this person knows the complete Torah
446
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:25,760
He is holy and so pure
447
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,119
Sitting here is a young man, aged thirty-two
448
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,039
Who has the entire Torah readily available, without thinking twice,
449
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,840
Without any books
450
00:28:42,479 --> 00:28:44,880
He does not lift his head up,
451
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,199
“My heart is not haughty, nor did I lift up my eyes”,
and you see it clearly
452
00:28:48,199 --> 00:28:49,199
It’s not…
453
00:28:49,399 --> 00:28:54,239
People enraptured, sitting in front of him, elderly people,
well-known Torah Scholars
454
00:28:54,239 --> 00:28:55,720
They are kissing his hand
455
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,000
Its mind-boggling to see this young person
456
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,720
Already twenty years ago
457
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,840
When he was only fourteen
458
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,520
He was giving lectures on subjects of Torah
459
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,800
He would say the whole Talmud verbatim; how could this be?
460
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,399
I sat there and was shocked and amazed
461
00:29:08,399 --> 00:29:09,920
But I understood where this came from
462
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,079
It comes from his modesty
463
00:29:14,239 --> 00:29:17,119
Shortly we will hear this marvelous Gaon,
464
00:29:17,119 --> 00:29:19,479
I don’t know if there are enough words, or any words to describe
465
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,279
His unassuming, unpretentious and his modest demeanor
466
00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:25,720
In relationship to his all-inclusive knowledge at such a young age
467
00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:28,680
Gentleman, it’s not only that this Rav
468
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,359
who is a Gaon in Yisrael and of the holiest of holies
469
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:35,159
Is coming to us to give us encouragement
470
00:29:35,159 --> 00:29:40,359
But only the Rav, the Yanuka, is what makes things happen in our generation,
471
00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:42,359
He injects light into us and illuminates our lives
472
00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:45,800
He brings light to the Jews and the nation of Yisrael
473
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,319
This is exactly what we need in our generation
474
00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:51,079
The Rav, when he comes here
475
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:54,520
Just know that every word is the holy of holies,
these are sacred words
476
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,760
We need to be ecstatic and appreciate this great opportunity
477
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,079
To be able to absorb this kind of Torah,
the glorified Torah of Hashem
478
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:02,760
Filled with the Divine Inspiration,
getting practical advice and direction
479
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,079
To each person who seeks knowledge
480
00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:06,279
And Thank God
481
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:08,279
We are worthy to receive all of this
482
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:10,920
From a pure mind
483
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,840
From a living book of Torah
484
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:20,479
“Blessed are you Hashem our God, King of the universe,
that you shared Your wisdom to your fearful ones”.
485
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:28,199
“Blessed are you Hashem our God, King of the universe,
that you shared Your wisdom to your fearful ones”.
486
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,319
Just like, we thank Hashem for the Yanuka
487
00:30:34,319 --> 00:30:36,640
That he has true and absolute Torah
488
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:42,079
One needs also to accept from him his guidance
489
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,399
In the merit of all the sacred books, their commentaries, and Midrashim
490
00:30:51,399 --> 00:30:54,640
Which we delved into, learned, and read
491
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,880
May we return (review/learn again) the holy Torah
492
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,720
We will return to all of you, Torah, Prophets, Scriptures,
Midrashim and Commentators
493
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,880
The Six Orders of the Mishnah, Talmud Bavli, all the smaller
Tractates, Mishna Torah of Rebbe Moshe (Rambam) Code of Jewish Law
494
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,279
We will return to all of you, and all of you will return to
us, our minds are on you, and your mind (knowledge) is on us
495
00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:11,039
We will return to the Tractate Niddah, and the entire Talmud
496
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:12,760
Our mind is on you, Tractate Niddah and the entire Talmud
497
00:31:17,239 --> 00:31:20,960
Torah, Prophets, Scriptures, Midrashim, Commentaries, and
The Six Orders of the Mishnah
498
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,239
Talmud Bavli, all the smaller Tractates, Mishna Torah
of Rebbe Moshe (Rambam) Code of Jewish Law
499
00:31:24,239 --> 00:31:26,239
We will return to all of you, and all of you will return to us
500
00:31:26,239 --> 00:31:27,960
And in your days and in the lives of all the house of Yisrael
501
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,239
Speedily and soon, and say Amain
502
00:31:30,239 --> 00:31:37,399
Amain, may His Great Name be Blessed forever
and to all eternity, He should be Blessed
503
00:31:40,199 --> 00:31:42,680
The knowledge of the greatness of God, Blessed be He
504
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,920
The awareness that there is a God so boundless and
exceedingly awesome
505
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,319
That we must crown Him King
506
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:51,600
We must cry for his Kingdom
507
00:31:59,703 --> 00:32:03,640
Woe! Our righteous one! How are you?
508
00:32:03,807 --> 00:32:05,976
Do you remember me?
509
00:32:05,976 --> 00:32:07,044
He waited to come to the Rav
510
00:32:07,544 --> 00:32:12,583
How do you feel? Is everything good? Praise Hashem
511
00:32:12,583 --> 00:32:14,218
How nice
512
00:32:14,218 --> 00:32:18,389
Last year, in 5782 (2022), we should never know
513
00:32:18,389 --> 00:32:22,226
We were informed of unpleasant news
514
00:32:22,226 --> 00:32:29,733
They told us that this young righteous one was sick with an illness
515
00:32:29,733 --> 00:32:31,935
He had “the sickness” in the digestive system
516
00:32:31,935 --> 00:32:38,242
And when it is in the liver, this cancer is extremely strong, as it spreads at a very fast pace
517
00:32:39,676 --> 00:32:44,181
With Heavenly assistance, we started chemotherapy treatments
518
00:32:44,181 --> 00:32:46,517
They were really difficult
519
00:32:46,517 --> 00:32:48,585
and my friend, Noam, called me
520
00:32:48,585 --> 00:32:52,790
He told me, “Listen, you must come to the Rav”
521
00:32:52,790 --> 00:32:54,324
I told him, “No problem, I’ll come to the Rav”
522
00:32:54,324 --> 00:32:56,360
At that moment, on that day that he called me
523
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,996
it was after the second round of treatments
524
00:32:58,996 --> 00:33:00,464
I told him, “I’m coming with you to the Rav”
525
00:33:00,464 --> 00:33:02,433
The day we brought him from the hospital
526
00:33:02,433 --> 00:33:06,070
We traveled to the Rav. The child was connected to morphine and to TPN
527
00:33:07,571 --> 00:33:10,474
He was literally his own shadow
528
00:33:10,474 --> 00:33:12,509
We came to the Rav
529
00:33:12,509 --> 00:33:16,980
The Rav was like a merciful father, with gentleness
530
00:33:17,748 --> 00:33:19,216
He blessed him; he caressed him
531
00:33:19,216 --> 00:33:20,951
So I told the Rav – with tears
532
00:33:20,951 --> 00:33:22,086
I said, “Honorable Rav, listen
533
00:33:22,086 --> 00:33:25,422
This child suffers. Every five minutes I have to administer morphine
534
00:33:25,422 --> 00:33:26,590
It’s impossible to do more
535
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:28,826
He eats through his veins
536
00:33:28,826 --> 00:33:32,629
The Rav can do something so that we won’t need this”
537
00:33:34,131 --> 00:33:37,901
In short, the Rav told me, “Listen, you go back to the hospital
538
00:33:37,901 --> 00:33:40,003
You won’t need any more morphine
539
00:33:40,003 --> 00:33:42,539
And not to feed him intravenously”
540
00:33:42,539 --> 00:33:45,242
So we came to the hospital; I told this to my wife
541
00:33:45,242 --> 00:33:46,376
I returned with him to the hospital
542
00:33:46,376 --> 00:33:47,644
I told my wife, listen
543
00:33:47,644 --> 00:33:50,481
The Rav guaranteed that we will no longer need the morphine
544
00:33:50,481 --> 00:33:54,952
And that we won’t need for him to be fed intravenously
545
00:33:54,952 --> 00:33:59,890
My wife came to the doctor, the one who treated us in that ward
546
00:33:59,890 --> 00:34:01,658
She told him, “Listen, we were by the Rav
547
00:34:01,658 --> 00:34:03,927
The Rav told us that we don’t need any more morphine
548
00:34:03,927 --> 00:34:05,395
We don’t need any more TPN”
549
00:34:05,395 --> 00:34:07,297
So, after this chemotherapy treatment
550
00:34:07,297 --> 00:34:09,299
Usually, the immune system is weakened
551
00:34:09,299 --> 00:34:12,636
And there is a certain bacteria called mucositis
552
00:34:12,636 --> 00:34:14,271
that attacks the immune system
553
00:34:14,271 --> 00:34:17,875
And then, you should never know, but it causes sores from the mouth to the rectum
554
00:34:17,875 --> 00:34:20,210
So morphine is needed so that one won’t feel the pain
555
00:34:20,210 --> 00:34:22,513
And he couldn’t eat through his mouth
556
00:34:22,513 --> 00:34:24,414
We came home from the hospital after his treatment
557
00:34:24,414 --> 00:34:27,384
One days goes by, two, three, four days
558
00:34:27,384 --> 00:34:29,153
And the child isn’t attached [to anything]
559
00:34:29,153 --> 00:34:30,621
The doctor initially laughed at us
560
00:34:30,621 --> 00:34:33,690
He said to us, “Don’t worry, after Shabbos I will hook him up”
561
00:34:33,690 --> 00:34:37,194
From then, blessed is Hashem, we had another two rounds of chemotherapy
562
00:34:37,194 --> 00:34:40,631
They didn't bring him a morphine even once
563
00:34:40,631 --> 00:34:44,067
And the TPN, blessed is Hashem, he eats regularly by himself! Supernatural miracles!
564
00:34:44,067 --> 00:34:46,470
Here we are now, blessed is Hashem, after 7 months
565
00:34:46,470 --> 00:34:47,571
Look at this righteous one
566
00:34:47,571 --> 00:34:50,207
his hair is full; the smile on his face
567
00:34:50,207 --> 00:34:52,442
Hashem made great miracles with us
568
00:34:52,442 --> 00:34:53,610
Praised be Hashem
569
00:34:53,610 --> 00:34:58,782
How beautiful. Now, you will take him on trips, right?
570
00:34:58,782 --> 00:35:00,484
First, we brought him straight to the Rav
571
00:35:00,584 --> 00:35:02,486
We will make a festive meal, then we will go on trips
572
00:35:02,486 --> 00:35:04,821
Make a thanksgiving for Hashem. Recite psalm 150
573
00:35:04,821 --> 00:35:07,191
Praise the Great Name of the Holy One, blessed is He
574
00:35:07,191 --> 00:35:10,327
And buy him a gift, with Hashem’s help, okay?
575
00:35:10,327 --> 00:35:13,864
The Holy One, should give you joy, and you should have a good life
576
00:35:13,864 --> 00:35:14,831
Honored Rav, we saw great miracles
577
00:35:14,831 --> 00:35:20,537
The Rav guaranteed… he was suffering
578
00:35:20,537 --> 00:35:24,541
He was eating through his veins, and using morphine
579
00:35:24,541 --> 00:35:27,477
He was by the Rav, we had supernatural miracles
580
00:35:27,477 --> 00:35:31,315
The miracles that Hashem did with us is not graspable at all
581
00:35:31,315 --> 00:35:33,617
We are thankful to the Rav for this, that the Rav healed the child
582
00:35:33,617 --> 00:35:36,587
It is all from the Almighty, Great, Powerful One, and Awesome One, that heard us
583
00:35:36,587 --> 00:35:39,823
He heard the prayers that the Jewish Nation prayed [on his behalf]
584
00:35:39,823 --> 00:35:42,326
The Holy One should free you, righteous one
585
00:35:42,326 --> 00:35:47,831
You should have joy. And from today you will be happy, lighthearted and playful
586
00:35:48,131 --> 00:35:51,969
You’re happy, right? Your father will take you now to beautiful places
587
00:35:51,969 --> 00:35:56,506
You will no longer go there, okay?
588
00:35:56,506 --> 00:35:57,975
You, righteous one, will be happy
589
00:35:58,442 --> 00:36:01,278
You will be joyous and happy, holy and pure
590
00:36:01,278 --> 00:36:05,082
And the Almighty, Great One, blessed is He, Who listens to the prayers, will guard you
591
00:36:06,283 --> 00:36:08,352
Righteous ones be happy
592
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,440
The secret of David and Shaul…
593
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:23,520
As you know, King Shaul's story is very painful.
594
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:38,120
The first king of the Jewish People passed away in immense pain,
595
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:43,400
after he gave so profusely to the Jewish Nation.
596
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,280
He would go out to war, and take plunder,
597
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,440
and allot it to the daughters of Israel.
598
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,480
All the spoils from the wars Shaul won
599
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,000
he would give away to everybody
600
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,160
and say, 'give it to your wives.'
601
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,480
All the riches and jewelry, and all the happiness they had
602
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,600
was from King Shaul, from the wars he won.
603
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,240
He was very compassionate on the Jewish Nation,
604
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:12,760
he possessed the attribute of mercy, and this very attribute of mercy
605
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:19,240
[caused] what happened with Agag, during the wiping out of Amalek.
606
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:23,120
And ultimately, it was an Amalekite, or more correctly
607
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:29,240
an Amalekite convert [who claimed to have murdered Shaul], and therefore King David killed him,
608
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:33,000
and said to him, 'you are bound to die, for you stretched forth your hand to destroy Hash-m's anointed.'
609
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:46,040
Each time I read this, it's so incredibly painful.
610
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:51,640
Tears come to my eyes at the thought of
611
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:57,680
how they took him, and then the people of Yavesh-Gilad came and demounted him.
612
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,160
He was beheaded, and they impaled his body alone, at the end of Shmuel I.
613
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:06,200
Shmuel I, at the end of the last chapter,
614
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:11,040
before Shmuel II begins, there King Shaul's death is recorded,
615
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:16,040
about how the people of Yavesh-Gilad came and demounted him from the wall
616
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,240
and buried him on Mount Gilboa
617
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:22,320
It was engrained in their memory
618
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,360
that King Shaul once protected them
619
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:29,960
and saved them from their eyes being gorged out.
620
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:46,560
Tzadik, so holy and pure, a child sitting and listening to words of Torah,
621
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:57,560
with serenity…tzaddik.
622
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:03,760
[Preceding his death,] when King Shaul
623
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,320
was in such deep distress
624
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,760
as he beheld the Philistines closing in on him
625
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:17,480
and he knew it was the end. And when he sought to go to the necromanceress,
626
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:22,440
after he had lost all other hope,
627
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,440
he was in a sorrowful spirit, and distressed,
628
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,880
he fulfilled "even though he could not see [anything menacing] his guardian angel saw his fate."
629
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:36,040
He understood that it was over, the kingdom was torn
630
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:42,920
and now the secret would be revealed to him, since during Shmuel's lifetime…
631
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,200
This transpired within four months [after Shmuel's death].
632
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,840
His passing occurred beforehand
633
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,880
because he could not bear to see Shaul's death
634
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:56,320
since the love Shmuel the prophet had towards King Shaul
635
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,680
was limitless, the love between them was boundless.
636
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,200
The prophet Shmuel was deeply pained by Shaul's imminent passing,
637
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,000
and the distress they would cause him, but nonetheless, he was waiting for him
638
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,200
like he said, "and tomorrow, you and your sons will be with me."
639
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,440
Shaul went and searched for a necromanceress,
640
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,360
whom he found in En Dor. They were understandably frightened
641
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,560
because he had ordered to exterminate all necromancers
642
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,520
so, who would dare to cooperate with him?
643
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,400
Perhaps he would inform King Shaul
644
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,960
and she would also be killed.
645
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,360
When the necromanceress arrived, and Shaul entered,
646
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:42,760
he couldn't eat bread, nor drink anything, and was greatly distressed.
647
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:48,560
I want you to understand an instructive lesson that can be derived through this.
648
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,240
This is the innovation I thought of regarding
649
00:40:53,240 --> 00:41:01,560
the distinction between Shaul and David, I think it is an enormous rule…
650
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:06,560
He requested that she conjure up Shmuel.
651
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,640
She asked,
652
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,640
'Whom do you want me to conjure up?' and he said 'Shmuel.'
653
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,280
Then she conjured up Shmuel.
654
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,760
The moment Shmuel the prophet rose and appeared,
655
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,720
his did not arise like they typically rise,
656
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:27,200
conjured souls would emerge upside-down.
657
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,560
But here, he emerged in such a way that
658
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,240
she perceived his apparel and splendor.
659
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:35,720
But, there is a division between seeing and hearing,
660
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:38,760
one can see but not hear, and the other can hear but not see.
661
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,720
That's how invocation through necromancy was,
662
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:45,360
one would hear and the other would see.
663
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,720
She could see but not hear,
664
00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:50,840
and he heard, but could not see, and needed to communicate
665
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,200
to her who she saw.
666
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,120
So, she saw how [Shmuel] appeared in full stature and splendor,
667
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,200
and then she understood that he arose before the king,
668
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,800
since he appeared upright, and she panicked,
669
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,360
this is the king sitting here, Shaul.
670
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,560
So, she said, 'You are Shaul.'
671
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,200
She thought he would kill her.
672
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,320
Then Shmuel began to speak with him, and said,
673
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,920
"Why have you roused me, to bring me up?"
674
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,640
By this we can see that souls in the upper world converse,
675
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,440
and that they are alive and existent,
676
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:34,440
so the world won't think that a person passes away and that's it,
677
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,760
here, see the prophet Shmuel.
678
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:43,240
So, the prophet Shmuel informs and foretells of
679
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:46,480
his portended passing at the hands of the Philistines,
680
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,440
and revealed to him for the first time
681
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,440
to whom the kingdom will be transferred.
682
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,840
During Shmuel's lifetime he did not reveal this to Shaul, for he feared that he would kill him.
683
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:03,920
But then he told him, "and has given it to your fellow and superior- to David"
684
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,720
He revealed to him to whom the kingdom would be passed.
685
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:14,280
Who can comprehend the bond shared between Shmuel…
686
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:21,200
"a three stranded cord cannot be quickly severed," this is Shmuel. Shaul, and David.
687
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,360
I once gave a lesson about the connection between them,
688
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,120
between Shmuel, Shaul, and David. It was a shiur given
689
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:32,160
seven or eight years ago,
690
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,400
on the connection there is between Shmuel, Shaul, and David.
691
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:40,680
[Shmuel] was the judge, leader, spiritual guide,
692
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:48,320
Torah giant of the generation, great, sage, who didn't derive enjoyment from anything,
693
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,520
the prophet with the spirit of prophecy who will anoint King Mashiach in the future.
694
00:43:52,520 --> 00:44:01,400
This is the prophet Shmuel. And when [Hash-m] taught him
695
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,800
"man looks at outward appearances, but Hash-m sees the heart,"
696
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,920
that a man's perception is from the appearance he sees
697
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,320
but Hash-m Yisborach sees the heart,
698
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:18,520
I think that through this, Shmuel started to understand
699
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:26,040
how little he understood about matters of the kingdom.
700
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,640
Because, prior to this, it was clear that
701
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,040
Shaul was king, since he was handsome,
702
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,600
with an exquisite neck, he was distinguished,
703
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,920
King Shaul was of pleasant appearance.
704
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,200
But, when he began his search [for king] the second time,
705
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:48,840
when the kingdom was transferred to the son of Yishai (Jesse), he went to search,
706
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,640
and thought, perhaps this will be similar
707
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:57,800
someone also like Shaul, let's search for a distinguished appearance.
708
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,720
He saw Eliav, and said, certainly he is the successor.
709
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:07,800
He looked, and went according to the first impression he saw,
710
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,960
This is the king! Then he understood
711
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,120
that, "man looks at outward appearances, but Hash-m sees the heart,"
712
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,840
Hash-m Yisborach did not want him, for he was wrathful and prone to anger.
713
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,040
Hash-m Baruch Hu doesn't like a ruler who is angry and truculent.
714
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,080
Therefore, He did not choose Eliav, He chose David, who was merciful,
715
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,400
would sit in the field, and was humiliated,
716
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,160
and would constantly lift his eyes to heaven.
717
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:41,080
So, Shmuel the prophet understood that Hash-m alone directs the kingdom,
718
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,840
and didn't try to look and understand which direction he was headed,
719
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:51,160
what he was looking at, where he was going.
720
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:03,600
When King Shaul was being closed in
721
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:11,360
and he saw the philistines surrounding him, and knew what Shmuel had told him
722
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:22,840
the heavenly court had decreed his and his son's death
723
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:30,640
he did not escape or run away, he set out to war – and here lies the innovation…
724
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,040
Anybody who hears this should ponder.
725
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,560
After Shaul received this revelation
726
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,000
he declined to eat or drink.
727
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,720
The necromanceress prepared food for him, and brought him bread,
728
00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:45,480
and told him, it's time to eat.
729
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,080
What sort of person can eat after he hears he will pass away?
730
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,800
What presence of mind would he have to eat and drink?
731
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:57,160
Perhaps he would escape, perhaps leave, or agonize.
732
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,800
He hears that his kingship, and greatness
733
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,920
is transferred to, "your fellow and superior – David." His successor is revealed to him,
734
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,360
and he discovers it is his pursuer; in actuality, he was the pursuer
735
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,640
but he was certain [David] was pursuing him
736
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:17,160
Shaul thought David was chasing him and opposing the kingship.
737
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:22,040
He's told he will pass away, and the kingdom, plenty,
738
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,560
and greatness are being passed to his fellow, and superior as well,
739
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:32,520
[Shmuel] emphasized that it's David, [Shaul] hears this,
740
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:40,520
and goes out to war, Shaul went out to war, and perished.
741
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:48,040
Shaul's victory was 'there is no despair in the world whatsoever,"
742
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:54,000
that he went out to war even though they told him it his fate was sealed.
743
00:47:54,000 --> 00:48:00,400
Therefore, Shaul is a symbol for all who proceeded
744
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,200
and continued on despite what was foretold by heaven
745
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:09,640
This is the greatness of the first leader and king of the Jewish Nation.
746
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:15,440
This was the beauty of Shaul's kingship, it's end,
747
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:29,120
and this is his victory, that Shaul heard he would perish
748
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:32,360
and this would be the death of his sons
749
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:37,480
and he hears that his kingdom is being passed over to someone else
750
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:43,240
and furthermore, it was exposed to him that it was David, his enemy,
751
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:47,880
and he goes out to fight even though
752
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,200
Heaven foretold he would not succeed.
753
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,720
Hash-m forsook him and tore the kingdom from him,
754
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,760
Hash-m Yisborach was not with him, didn't want his success,
755
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:03,120
and was going to take him from the world -
756
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:08,840
and King Shaul gallops on his horse directly into the goal.
757
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,320
This is King Shaul.
758
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,360
This is the view we should always have,
759
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,520
with our eyes to the heavens, constantly hoping for Hash-m,
760
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,440
and always doing His will no matter what.
761
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,840
Don't go backwards, or look backward.
762
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,880
King David won, because David
763
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,720
always lifted his eyes to the heavens, was dependent on Hash-m,
764
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:38,040
Master of the Universe, "I called to You, Hash-m, to my L-rd I made my appeal." (Ps 30:9)
765
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,120
"Many are those who attack me, many say of me
766
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,080
There is no deliverance for him through G-d, selah. But you, Hash-m, are a shield about me" (Ps 3:2-4)
767
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:51,560
David was continually praying and pleading, praying and pleading.
768
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:56,560
King David's triumph was essentially King Shaul's triumph.
769
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,560
King David did not win and take the kingdom from Shaul
770
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,040
in order to enthrone himself.
771
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,400
It was the Nation of Israel's kingdom,
772
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,960
King David took the kingdom from Shaul,
773
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,480
and returned it to King Shaul.
774
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:13,760
He didn't take the kingdom from him,
775
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,360
he took the kingdom in order to establish Hash-m Yisborach as King.
776
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:23,760
Like Shaul did, when Shaul went out to the war
777
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,280
and he knew he would not win, and knew he would pass away in the war
778
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,960
and he went out with his sword, mounted on his horse to fight.
779
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,720
And he leaned on his sword
780
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:40,400
so the philistines would not abuse and kill him.
781
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,920
And he went out to war. And the kingdom was passed over to David.
782
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,440
The Amalekite youth came and gave him [Shaul's] crown
783
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,840
and [Shaul's] clothes
784
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:55,320
and King David immediately ordered to execute him
785
00:50:55,320 --> 00:51:01,240
because he said, how could you lift your hand against Hash-m's anointed?
786
00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:07,000
This is someone Hash-m chose, you should have allowed heaven [to enact the decree].
787
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,520
Do you see how many times King David tore his clothes?
788
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,760
He tore thrice, one for Shaul, for Yehonatan,
789
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,160
and for the Jewish Nation and all the adversities they suffered.
790
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,640
He rent his clothes thrice
791
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:22,800
The king tore his clothes; everyone tore.
792
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,520
The pain was so great
793
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,720
the grief was immeasurable.
794
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:33,040
The kingdom King David took on himself
795
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:39,720
was to return the kingship to Hash-m, that was King David's kingdom.
796
00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:45,960
And therefore, the Mashiach is attributed as son of David
797
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,440
and not son of Shaul
798
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:56,440
because King David's kingdom was a kingdom of heaven.
799
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:00,160
David was prayer,
800
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,440
with uplifted eyes, eyes to the heavens
801
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:10,160
without, "My own power and the might of my hand," (Deut 8:17) without flesh and blood - just Hash-m's kingdom.
802
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:16,040
And therefore, it is attributed to David. The book of Psalms,
803
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,880
his prayers and requests,
804
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:24,840
[inspired them to] lift their eyes to the heavens. King David took the kingdom
805
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:30,760
and returned it to Hash-m Yisborach – this is a king.
806
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:37,160
What was a king once, amongst the vanities of the world?
807
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:42,360
What's a king in the nations of the world? All wrongdoings are condoned for him:
808
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,160
murder, stoning, unnatural deaths- that's their king.
809
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,960
Did their kings elevate their people?
810
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,200
Did their kings lift their eyes to the heavens?
811
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,360
Did they teach them how? No way.
812
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,960
Their kings just wanted to murder and annihilate,
813
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:05,600
wipe out anything standing in their way – that's the kings of the nations of the world.
814
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:13,280
The kings of Israel, and King David are incomparable.
815
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,640
May King David's merit shield us.
816
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:19,360
May we merit learning hope and joy from this,
817
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,440
and raise our eyes to the heavens.
818
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,040
May none of us ever be pained by anything in the world.
819
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:30,320
May we be joyful and hopeful always.
820
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,800
And may Hash-m redeem us with the complete and final redemption.
821
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:36,440
May you have beneficial influences, and good life.
822
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,240
May we all merit the complete and final redemption together,
823
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:43,200
speedily and in our days, amen and amen. [May there be] good tidings, be strong and of good courage.
824
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,600
Rabbi Chananyah ben Akashia says…
825
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,520
What can I tell you, tzaddikim?
826
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,880
One needs to be so incredibly strong while in this world.
827
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,440
There are so many trials and difficulties.
828
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:03,680
There is so much darkness in the world, it's such a dark, bleak world.
829
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:08,040
Don't let anything in the world break you.
830
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,280
You know, I hear stories and things…
831
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:19,960
it's impossible to digest what sorts of things the world is going through.
832
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,160
I once told him a story, when he became a follower,
833
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,600
at the very beginning, fourteen years ago, when we became acquainted.
834
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,200
I told him a parable, and he really loved this story.
835
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,640
I told him [this story] on Rosh Hashanah.
836
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,280
I told him, 'Binyamin, I'll tell you a parable."
837
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,680
Do you remember the story about the wagon owner?
838
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,640
He really liked this story.
839
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,920
Each time I would speak with him, he would tell me,
840
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,080
"I remember the story you told once me."
841
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:50,480
It contains a lot of wisdom and instructive lessons.
842
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:54,600
There was once a person who travelled to a city by wagon.
843
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,440
During his journey, while his was in his wagon,
844
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:02,800
and travelling on the way,
845
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:11,160
he suddenly saw a poor man carrying a haversack by the side of the road ahead of him,
846
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:16,840
lugging his belongings. So, the wagon owner said to him,
847
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:21,880
'Why don't I give you a lift, my poor man,"
848
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,320
"Why should you walk in the dark, in the midst of the trees, by yourself?"
849
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:27,640
"Which city are you going to?"
850
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,160
He replied, "I need to continue on to the town,"
851
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,600
"where the merchandise fair is."
852
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:37,440
"I'm going there to ask for charity, perhaps Hash-m will help me from heaven…"
853
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,280
So he told him, "Come, I can take you there,"
854
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:45,600
"I'm also on my way, I'll take you there." He told the beggar to get in
855
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,840
and the beggar climbed up on the wagon with his cumbersome sack.
856
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:54,320
And, while driving, as he sat in thought,
857
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:59,480
he said, 'Let's see how the beggar is faring.'
858
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:06,520
He glanced backwards, and saw the beggar standing
859
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:14,000
with the entire haversack still on his back. The wagon driver said,
860
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,480
"Why doesn't your honor take the haversack off
861
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,440
and put it on the wagon?"
862
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:26,040
"Why do you leave it on your back? Put it in the wagon!"
863
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,200
So the beggar said, "I'm embarrassed that you are taking me,
864
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:34,120
and more so if you take my sack, and schlepp it too…"
865
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:38,680
"So I'll carry it; you're taking me anyway."
866
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:45,160
So he laughed, and asked him, "Do you really think…"
867
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:52,760
"Really, you're not overburdening me, it's the same weight, what does it matter?"
868
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:57,120
The thought that we live in the world,
869
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:01,880
and carry things in our hearts, but we are already riding in the wagon…
870
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,640
We can just toss them, toss them in the wagon
871
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,240
and not take them to heart, and not remain with the grief and distress,
872
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:12,680
as hard as it is, it's true that there are difficulties and true there are trials,
873
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,680
and we are experiencing a concealment of Hash-m's face.
874
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,720
I also think this entire generation is experiencing a concealment of Hash-m's face,
875
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,440
everyone is experiencing a big and terrible concealment of Hash-m's face,
876
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:25,200
I'm unaware of someone who's not going through something, everyone experiences this concealment in an individualized way.
877
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,600
But, most of the world today, as you see,
878
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,360
is experiencing a very great concealment of Hash-m's face.
879
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,160
If a person will carry in his heart all his sorrows,
880
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,080
his distress and difficulties,
881
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:50,560
sleeps and rises with them – is this what will solve the problem?
882
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:55,240
The sack needs to be placed on the wagon. Tell Hash-m,
883
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,560
Master of the World, I placed my sack in the wagon.
884
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:04,400
I don't have the strength to lift it. You take my sorrows,
885
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,600
and my distress. Take it off your heart.
886
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:13,080
Don't carry it in your heart, don't pick it up and carry it in your heart.
887
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:17,960
Remove it, unburden yourselves, "If there is anxiety in a man's heart let him quash it," (Prov 12:25), get rid of it.
888
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,840
Pour your entire heart out to Hash-m Yisborach.
889
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,760
Don't let anything that enters the heart
890
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:28,840
try to weaken your mind and break you, G-d forbid.
891
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:35,200
True, there are difficulties, true, a person goes through what he goes through – true.
892
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:41,280
But it's still not a reason for a person to remain in his sorrow or difficulty.
893
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:45,000
May there be much gladness and rejoicing in this house, while sorrow and sighing flee.
894
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,160
Since there was also a bris (circumcision) today, the Prophet Eliyahu, may he be remembered for good,
895
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,280
also attended the memorial anniversary of Rabbi Binyamin.
896
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,960
The Prophet Eliyahu also came to this memorial anniversary.
897
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,080
He also came to the Sheloshim (the 30th day after his passing, when there was also a bris).
898
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,920
When the Prophet Eliyahu comes as the angel of the bris
899
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,400
[he brings] hope, positive influences, and good tidings
900
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:15,120
he proclaims good and salvation
901
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,600
May there be positive influences, good life…
902
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,920
May there be positive influences, wonders and miracles, and bounty…
903
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,120
When Moshe Rabbeinu ascended Mount Sinai…
904
00:59:26,161 --> 00:59:28,360
For a person to reach lofty spiritual levels like Moshe Rabbeinu…
905
00:59:28,401 --> 00:59:33,160
Not everyone can attain the spiritual level of Moshe Rabbeinu
906
00:59:33,201 --> 00:59:37,480
But anyone can receive the Torah
907
00:59:37,521 --> 00:59:42,680
What is the difference between receiving the Torah, and Moshe Rabbeinu?
908
00:59:42,721 --> 00:59:44,360
When the Holy One, Blessed Be He, gave the Torah,
909
00:59:44,401 --> 00:59:47,360
He gave it to the entire Jewish Nation
910
00:59:47,401 --> 00:59:52,120
But the act of conveying the Torah from the Holy One to the Jewish Nation,
911
00:59:52,161 --> 00:59:57,440
is a level that not everyone is able to attain, it's called 'conveying the Torah'
912
00:59:57,481 --> 00:59:58,160
And Moshe Rabbeinu…
913
00:59:58,201 --> 01:00:04,600
The Holy One chose Moshe Rabbeinu to deliver the Torah to the Jewish Nation.
914
01:00:04,641 --> 01:00:08,840
There is a screen, when the Holy One does not want anyone to approach,
915
01:00:08,881 --> 01:00:13,040
He erects a partition, termed, "concealment"
916
01:00:13,081 --> 01:00:15,200
As we see today,
917
01:00:15,241 --> 01:00:21,000
before a person rises and draws near to Hash-m, there is concealment.
918
01:00:21,041 --> 01:00:24,360
This concealment appears in all instances of holiness
919
01:00:24,401 --> 01:00:29,120
Whenever there is an extremely elevated level of holiness, there is concealment
920
01:00:29,161 --> 01:00:30,640
Like the high priest, for example,
921
01:00:30,681 --> 01:00:34,440
who is sequestered before entering the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement
922
01:00:34,481 --> 01:00:38,960
He is sequestered seven days – this is "concealment,"
923
01:00:39,001 --> 01:00:42,760
so that when he enters the Holy of Holies, he will merit Divine Revelation
924
01:00:42,801 --> 01:00:47,200
Moshe Rabbeinu…When the People of Israel sanctified themselves for three days,
925
01:00:47,241 --> 01:00:52,960
this is also technically called "concealment," however, this level is holy
926
01:00:53,001 --> 01:00:56,280
Now, we are also experiencing "concealment"
927
01:00:56,321 --> 01:00:59,640
But, not only is this not a level of holiness,
928
01:00:59,681 --> 01:01:02,400
it is rather impurity
929
01:01:02,441 --> 01:01:04,880
What is this impurity?
930
01:01:04,921 --> 01:01:09,760
This impurity is called "in the straits"
931
01:01:09,801 --> 01:01:12,640
This is the impurity resulting from the Temple's destruction
932
01:01:12,681 --> 01:01:15,960
While the Temple existed, there was holiness and purity
933
01:01:16,001 --> 01:01:19,960
And now, we are all impure by contact with the dead, and don't have ashes of the red heifer
934
01:01:20,001 --> 01:01:23,240
And so, the screen separates between us
935
01:01:23,281 --> 01:01:26,720
and the holy of holies, elevation, and sanctity
936
01:01:26,761 --> 01:01:29,760
This is not the veil of fog that obscured the Torah
937
01:01:29,801 --> 01:01:33,000
when Moshe Rabbeinu ascended to receive the Torah for the Jewish nation,
938
01:01:33,041 --> 01:01:36,840
nor the partition of the high priest, or the partition of the People of Israel,
939
01:01:36,881 --> 01:01:41,120
but this is a screen of impurity
940
01:01:41,161 --> 01:01:43,320
And this impurity,
941
01:01:43,361 --> 01:01:45,400
is impossible to penetrate
942
01:01:45,441 --> 01:01:48,120
except through the attribute of truth
943
01:01:48,161 --> 01:01:50,120
When a man embodies the absolute truth
944
01:01:50,161 --> 01:01:53,600
he can penetrate all partitions and screens
945
01:01:53,641 --> 01:01:56,640
But it requires distinguishing between holy and mundane,
946
01:01:56,681 --> 01:01:59,280
between pure and impure
947
01:01:59,321 --> 01:02:03,880
For, when there is a level of holiness such as Moshe Rabbeinu…
948
01:02:03,921 --> 01:02:06,200
Anyone could contend,
949
01:02:06,241 --> 01:02:08,840
that there were many holy and pure amongst the Jewish Nation.
950
01:02:08,881 --> 01:02:11,280
The Holy One chose Moshe Rabbeinu
951
01:02:11,321 --> 01:02:13,040
There were Moshe and Aharon.
952
01:02:13,081 --> 01:02:15,720
The Torah relates Aharon's greatness and holiness:
953
01:02:15,761 --> 01:02:17,720
"…when he sees you, he will rejoice in his heart"
954
01:02:17,761 --> 01:02:21,400
this is the greatest testimony to give about the tzaddik, regarding his spiritual level,
955
01:02:21,441 --> 01:02:24,240
The fact he can receive the Torah from his brother,
956
01:02:24,281 --> 01:02:26,600
and there was no jealousy and hatred between them
957
01:02:26,641 --> 01:02:28,840
For Hash-m, blessed be He, gave us the Torah
958
01:02:28,881 --> 01:02:30,760
precisely through two brothers
959
01:02:30,801 --> 01:02:35,000
in order to rectify the primordial sin of Cain and Abel
960
01:02:35,041 --> 01:02:37,920
Abel's was the first murder in the world
961
01:02:37,961 --> 01:02:39,640
[Cain] did not know where the soul leaves the body
962
01:02:39,681 --> 01:02:42,480
So, he pummeled [Abel's] entire body with a rock
963
01:02:42,521 --> 01:02:47,040
and made his body like a sieve, as they did to Josiah
964
01:02:47,081 --> 01:02:51,560
as the arrows which pierced Josiah rendered him like a sieve
965
01:02:51,601 --> 01:02:53,560
Cain's murder of Abel
966
01:02:53,601 --> 01:02:56,160
occurred to shock the whole world
967
01:02:56,201 --> 01:03:00,280
so we will know how the Holy One wants us to behave in the world
968
01:03:00,321 --> 01:03:02,880
not to murder, or cause death
969
01:03:02,921 --> 01:03:04,840
not to steal, G-d forbid
970
01:03:04,881 --> 01:03:07,920
Then began all that the Blessed One carried out in the world
971
01:03:07,961 --> 01:03:11,640
until Hash-m gave us the Torah, and the Torah was revealed
972
01:03:11,681 --> 01:03:14,880
That is, before we had the Torah, in Moshe Rabbeinu's time,
973
01:03:14,921 --> 01:03:18,240
there was a screen, a screen of impurity
974
01:03:18,281 --> 01:03:19,760
not a screen of holiness
975
01:03:19,801 --> 01:03:21,960
These are two aspects
976
01:03:22,001 --> 01:03:25,160
Before the giving of the Torah there was a screen of impurity,
977
01:03:25,201 --> 01:03:28,400
which was a separation of impurity.
978
01:03:28,441 --> 01:03:30,880
And after we received the Torah,
979
01:03:30,921 --> 01:03:36,000
and we had the Temple, and the Tabernacle of Shiloh
980
01:03:36,041 --> 01:03:38,680
then we had a screen of holiness
981
01:03:38,721 --> 01:03:42,400
When the Temple was destroyed 1953 years ago
982
01:03:42,441 --> 01:03:44,920
we now entered the 1953rd year
983
01:03:44,961 --> 01:03:50,280
ever since there's been a screen of impurity
984
01:03:50,321 --> 01:03:53,000
There was an initial screen of impurity
985
01:03:53,041 --> 01:03:56,840
and a second screen of impurity, which is now
986
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,200
[the first] was before the giving of the Torah through Moshe Rabbeinu
987
01:04:02,241 --> 01:04:05,320
And [the second] after the Temple was destroyed
988
01:04:05,361 --> 01:04:06,600
For, when we had the Torah
989
01:04:06,641 --> 01:04:09,240
and when we received the Torah from Moshe…
990
01:04:09,281 --> 01:04:12,440
In the initial state preceding the giving of the Torah,
991
01:04:12,481 --> 01:04:14,200
the impurity was so extreme
992
01:04:14,241 --> 01:04:17,480
that they couldn't lift their eyes to the heavens, and were unable to pray
993
01:04:17,521 --> 01:04:21,920
So therefore, it is written, "and their cry ascended to G-d"
994
01:04:21,961 --> 01:04:24,120
They cried out to Hash-m to such an extent
995
01:04:24,161 --> 01:04:27,920
for they could not pray due to the screen of impurity
996
01:04:27,961 --> 01:04:31,240
It's impossible to pierce the impurity
997
01:04:31,281 --> 01:04:34,320
except through the attribute of truth
998
01:04:34,361 --> 01:04:37,120
Why doesn't the Blessed One redeem Israel now?
999
01:04:37,161 --> 01:04:39,800
Why doesn't Hash-m bring the final redemption now?
1000
01:04:39,841 --> 01:04:41,800
Why don't we merit the redemption now?
1001
01:04:41,841 --> 01:04:44,680
Because the attribute of truth does not exist in the world
1002
01:04:44,721 --> 01:04:50,160
If there was the attribute of truth, everyone truthful, and people of truth
1003
01:04:50,201 --> 01:04:52,840
then the Blessed One would immediately bring the Mashiach
1004
01:04:52,881 --> 01:04:55,040
The Blessed One would immediately bring the Temple
1005
01:04:55,081 --> 01:04:57,600
The Blessed One would immediately redeem the Jewish Nation
1006
01:04:57,641 --> 01:04:59,600
And because there is no attribute of truth
1007
01:04:59,641 --> 01:05:03,400
the Blessed One leaves the entire world as is
1008
01:05:03,441 --> 01:05:05,800
until they will come to the truth
1009
01:05:05,841 --> 01:05:09,640
And when they come to the truth, they will have to strive after the truth
1010
01:05:09,681 --> 01:05:11,640
in order to attain the "absolute truth"
1011
01:05:11,681 --> 01:05:14,080
For there are levels within truth
1012
01:05:14,121 --> 01:05:18,440
When coming to the truth, it is just a gate; one must enter the truth
1013
01:05:18,481 --> 01:05:20,560
And there is another level of the "absolute truth"
1014
01:05:20,601 --> 01:05:24,560
called 'receiving the Torah of Moshe'
1015
01:05:24,601 --> 01:05:28,200
Before Moshe Rabbeinu received the Torah
1016
01:05:28,241 --> 01:05:32,800
He cried out and shouted to the Blessed One to lead him to the truth
1017
01:05:32,841 --> 01:05:37,560
And Moshe's intellect was annulled and deferred to the Holy One
1018
01:05:37,601 --> 01:05:39,120
And the whole Torah Moshe transmitted…
1019
01:05:39,161 --> 01:05:42,520
G-d forbid! The creation should not think,
1020
01:05:42,561 --> 01:05:45,480
if they think this is a Torah of flesh and blood, G-d forbid,
1021
01:05:45,521 --> 01:05:47,720
it is heresy, blasphemy and apostacy
1022
01:05:47,761 --> 01:05:51,080
Contrarily, one should believe that the entire Torah was given at Sinai
1023
01:05:51,121 --> 01:05:53,680
What's the intention of 'Torah given at Sinai?'
1024
01:05:53,721 --> 01:05:55,600
That no one would think, G-d forbid,
1025
01:05:55,641 --> 01:05:57,480
that there is a hand of flesh and blood in the Torah
1026
01:05:57,521 --> 01:05:59,560
The Torah is completely holy, completely spiritual
1027
01:05:59,601 --> 01:06:01,560
entirely from the Blessed Creator
1028
01:06:01,601 --> 01:06:04,520
This is the level of holiness, this is Moshe's level
1029
01:06:04,561 --> 01:06:08,040
And therefore, the Blessed One shrouded Mount Sinai in haze
1030
01:06:08,081 --> 01:06:09,560
Why did the Blessed One send haze?
1031
01:06:09,601 --> 01:06:11,080
What is the significance of the haze?
1032
01:06:11,121 --> 01:06:14,080
Does the Blessed One needs to hide something? For everything is in a state of 'concealment'
1033
01:06:14,121 --> 01:06:16,920
However, the plain reason for the haze
1034
01:06:16,961 --> 01:06:20,840
is to teach that it's impossible to reach and approach
1035
01:06:20,881 --> 01:06:24,680
and see the "absolute truth" with the mind's eye
1036
01:06:24,721 --> 01:06:31,280
There's a beautiful saying that Rabbi Natan writes in Liktuei Halachos
1037
01:06:31,321 --> 01:06:34,680
He explains… There are many instances of this in Likutei Halachos
1038
01:06:34,721 --> 01:06:39,480
It is a holy, awesome, and great book, on annotations and explanations behind Jewish law…
1039
01:06:39,521 --> 01:06:41,760
He writes, that the core of truth
1040
01:06:41,801 --> 01:06:44,640
is that the person know he is far from the truth
1041
01:06:44,681 --> 01:06:46,640
to the utmost extent - This is the core of truth
1042
01:06:46,681 --> 01:06:50,560
If you want to know if you are truthful, how much truth is in your possession
1043
01:06:50,601 --> 01:06:54,200
then know that you are farthest from the truth
1044
01:06:54,241 --> 01:06:58,520
Let no man deem himself truthful, G-d forbid
1045
01:06:58,561 --> 01:07:01,640
For most of the world err, and consider themselves as possessing the truth,
1046
01:07:01,681 --> 01:07:05,880
and the question is, if that person possesses truth as he thinks he does
1047
01:07:05,921 --> 01:07:10,520
Therefore, the core of truth is for a person to acknowledge he is very distant from the truth
1048
01:07:10,561 --> 01:07:12,160
That is the core of truth
1049
01:07:12,201 --> 01:07:15,560
And when a person knows he is far from the truth,
1050
01:07:15,601 --> 01:07:19,240
then, Heaven will aid him to draw closer to the truth
1051
01:07:19,281 --> 01:07:22,360
The Baal Ahavas Yisroel of Vizhnitz once said,
1052
01:07:22,401 --> 01:07:25,120
Rabbi Yisroel of Vizhnitz -
1053
01:07:25,161 --> 01:07:29,000
grandfather of the previous Admor [the Yeshuas Moshe],
1054
01:07:29,041 --> 01:07:31,840
father of the Imrei Chaim of Vizhnitz,
1055
01:07:31,881 --> 01:07:35,640
grandfather of the Admor [the Yeshuas Moshe] who passed away -
1056
01:07:35,681 --> 01:07:38,840
once said about coming to the truth;
1057
01:07:38,881 --> 01:07:41,880
"I never met a person who came [to the truth]
1058
01:07:41,921 --> 01:07:45,080
but I witnessed people far from falsehood"
1059
01:07:45,121 --> 01:07:47,160
It is impossible to state that a person has come to the truth
1060
01:07:47,201 --> 01:07:49,320
It is possible to say they fled from falsehood
1061
01:07:49,361 --> 01:07:50,480
and are far from falsehood
1062
01:07:50,521 --> 01:07:54,840
But the TRUTH… it's so difficult to explain who merits coming to the truth
1063
01:07:54,881 --> 01:07:59,480
For when coming to the truth, one must merit coming to the 'absolute truth'
1064
01:07:59,521 --> 01:08:02,040
Therefore, this is the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu
1065
01:08:02,081 --> 01:08:05,000
When Moshe Rabbeinu gave us the Torah,
1066
01:08:05,041 --> 01:08:08,440
he did not give the Torah just for us to study
1067
01:08:08,481 --> 01:08:11,920
The fact that a person learns and knows Torah
1068
01:08:11,961 --> 01:08:14,320
is wonderful, and thank G-d for this,
1069
01:08:14,361 --> 01:08:16,720
but most important is that he takes the Torah,
1070
01:08:16,761 --> 01:08:19,920
takes the essence and innerness of the Torah,
1071
01:08:19,961 --> 01:08:23,560
and aim for the "absolute truth" through the Torah
1072
01:08:23,601 --> 01:08:25,240
That is, when a person learns Torah
1073
01:08:25,281 --> 01:08:28,760
he needs to constantly aim for the "absolute truth,"
1074
01:08:28,801 --> 01:08:31,520
for the sake of Heaven, for Hash-m's glory
1075
01:08:31,561 --> 01:08:34,280
entirely for His glorification, to give Him pleasure,
1076
01:08:34,321 --> 01:08:39,440
and aim for the "absolute truth," in all opinion, intent, and interpretation
1077
01:08:39,481 --> 01:08:41,680
that there be no error, G-d forbid
1078
01:08:41,721 --> 01:08:45,000
in comprehension, interpretation, or ruling
1079
01:08:45,041 --> 01:08:46,640
and in every single matter
1080
01:08:46,681 --> 01:08:50,080
What is the meaning and knowledge I aspire for?
1081
01:08:50,121 --> 01:08:51,320
Upon what am I contemplating?
1082
01:08:51,361 --> 01:08:53,200
This is called the "absolute truth"
1083
01:08:53,241 --> 01:08:54,680
And this was Moshe Rabbeinu's mentality
1084
01:08:54,721 --> 01:08:56,680
And by this he gave us the Torah
1085
01:08:56,721 --> 01:08:59,080
Therefore, we always mention, "Who chose His servant, Moshe,"
1086
01:08:59,121 --> 01:09:01,360
We mention Moshe Rabbeinu
1087
01:09:01,401 --> 01:09:05,640
because Moshe Rabbeinu was humble, and humility is truth
1088
01:09:05,681 --> 01:09:10,400
For the Holy One desires that all creation be submissive before Him
1089
01:09:10,441 --> 01:09:12,480
He desires that they inaugurate Him as King
1090
01:09:12,521 --> 01:09:14,160
wants them to be humble
1091
01:09:14,201 --> 01:09:16,560
and defer to Him, may He be blessed
1092
01:09:16,601 --> 01:09:18,800
wants them to have lowliness before Him
1093
01:09:18,841 --> 01:09:22,840
that they not trust in the works of their hands, or their wisdom
1094
01:09:22,881 --> 01:09:26,760
and not trust in their great wealth, but rather in Him
1095
01:09:26,801 --> 01:09:30,240
And the moment a person is tainted by this world,
1096
01:09:30,281 --> 01:09:32,920
and thinks he possesses something of his own,
1097
01:09:32,961 --> 01:09:37,080
either he trusts in his knowledge, or wealth
1098
01:09:37,121 --> 01:09:38,840
or trusts in his own strength
1099
01:09:38,881 --> 01:09:41,280
then this is called, "in the straits"
1100
01:09:41,321 --> 01:09:43,760
Now, in order to understand what is "in the straits…"
1101
01:09:43,801 --> 01:09:46,880
We are presently in the second screen of impurity
1102
01:09:46,921 --> 01:09:49,680
When the first one existed, during the time of Cain and Abel,
1103
01:09:49,721 --> 01:09:53,640
then came Moshe and Aharon and rectified the sin of Cain and Abel
1104
01:09:53,681 --> 01:09:56,960
to exemplify unity among brothers
1105
01:09:57,001 --> 01:09:58,960
with no jealousy or hatred between them
1106
01:09:59,001 --> 01:10:01,400
Moreover, they received the Torah
1107
01:10:01,441 --> 01:10:03,520
Therefore, the Holy One was so strict
1108
01:10:03,561 --> 01:10:07,000
when Miriam, Aharon's sister, spoke about Moshe
1109
01:10:07,041 --> 01:10:09,600
regarding the wife he took
1110
01:10:09,641 --> 01:10:11,560
It was so…
1111
01:10:11,601 --> 01:10:13,080
Hash-m was greatly pained by this
1112
01:10:13,121 --> 01:10:16,000
Why? Because of disharmony between siblings,
1113
01:10:16,041 --> 01:10:18,360
when there is controversy and discord between siblings
1114
01:10:18,401 --> 01:10:22,040
Therefore, the Torah was severe regarding the selling of Yosef by his brothers
1115
01:10:22,081 --> 01:10:25,280
and decrees of exile and the ten martyrs ensued
1116
01:10:25,321 --> 01:10:27,080
Why were they punished to such a degree?
1117
01:10:27,121 --> 01:10:30,200
It is all reminiscent of the first sin
1118
01:10:30,241 --> 01:10:31,600
Every time a sin is committed,
1119
01:10:31,641 --> 01:10:36,600
each time a person commits a sin, it reminiscent of his initial sins
1120
01:10:36,641 --> 01:10:38,640
If a person sins, G-d forbid,
1121
01:10:38,681 --> 01:10:40,760
he evokes his initial sin
1122
01:10:40,801 --> 01:10:44,600
When the world sins, it evokes their initial sins
1123
01:10:44,641 --> 01:10:50,080
Every murder committed is reminiscent of the murder of Abel
1124
01:10:50,121 --> 01:10:54,400
And all robbery and violence
1125
01:10:55,960 --> 01:11:00,760
is reminiscent of the generation of the flood, of their theft and improper relationships
1126
01:11:00,801 --> 01:11:05,640
All the serious transgressions arouse the initial occurrence,
1127
01:11:05,681 --> 01:11:07,240
which then arouses the attribute of strict justice,
1128
01:11:07,281 --> 01:11:10,000
for the Holy One remembers what was committed
1129
01:11:10,041 --> 01:11:14,200
Therefore, when we make confessions, we say "we and our fathers"
1130
01:11:14,241 --> 01:11:16,240
Why do we say, "we and our fathers?"
1131
01:11:16,281 --> 01:11:18,440
To refer to the primordial sins that transpired
1132
01:11:18,481 --> 01:11:20,080
We state our remorse for [their sins]
1133
01:11:20,121 --> 01:11:21,960
For if there was no initial sin
1134
01:11:22,001 --> 01:11:24,640
consequently, there would be no following sin
1135
01:11:24,681 --> 01:11:27,400
For there would be no deterioration and distance
1136
01:11:27,441 --> 01:11:31,760
So,the meaning of repentance, is repenting for all of what was
1137
01:11:31,801 --> 01:11:34,800
Totally repenting for what occurred previously
1138
01:11:34,841 --> 01:11:37,760
And when a person truly repents, and is nullified before Hash-m
1139
01:11:37,801 --> 01:11:41,440
and meditates upon everything and all opinion in order to see
1140
01:11:41,481 --> 01:11:43,320
what is Hash-m's will in this,
1141
01:11:43,361 --> 01:11:46,520
in my repentance, my truth, my Torah learning
1142
01:11:46,561 --> 01:11:49,520
And when you rise from the book [i.e. studying Torah], strive after what you learned
1143
01:11:49,561 --> 01:11:51,960
And see if there is something within it that you can fulfil
1144
01:11:52,001 --> 01:11:54,840
Which is what the Ramban taught his son,
1145
01:11:54,881 --> 01:11:57,160
see if there is something [you can do] when you get up,
1146
01:11:57,201 --> 01:11:57,242
how you can change
1147
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,240
and don't think that one changes over time
1148
01:12:01,281 --> 01:12:04,880
One can change right now, in a moment, quickly
1149
01:12:04,921 --> 01:12:06,760
with proper way of thinking, to be true
1150
01:12:06,801 --> 01:12:10,600
The entire world is full of so much falsehood, everything is full of screens
1151
01:12:10,641 --> 01:12:13,440
"Pour out Your fury on the nation that do not know You,
1152
01:12:13,481 --> 01:12:15,280
upon the kingdoms that do not invoke Your name"
1153
01:12:15,321 --> 01:12:19,960
For all the lies originate from them, they cultivate lies,
1154
01:12:20,001 --> 01:12:22,120
They aggrandize and glorify the lies
1155
01:12:22,161 --> 01:12:26,000
and try to rule over the whole world with this lie
1156
01:12:26,041 --> 01:12:29,360
over the entire creation, and over the Holy Nation in particular
1157
01:12:29,401 --> 01:12:33,440
But our difference is that we will not assimilate their actions
1158
01:12:33,481 --> 01:12:36,080
and not think like or follow them, G-d forbid
1159
01:12:36,121 --> 01:12:42,800
And not listen to them, nor heed their opinions, their wisdom or ignorance
1160
01:12:42,841 --> 01:12:46,600
[nor heed] all their schemes for the world, G-d forbid
1161
01:12:46,641 --> 01:12:48,280
Therefore, the Rabbi from Reminov once laughed
1162
01:12:48,321 --> 01:12:52,880
at those who wanted protection from the evil eye
1163
01:12:52,921 --> 01:12:56,520
He told them that the greatest protection against the evil eye is
1164
01:12:56,561 --> 01:12:58,960
not wearing foreign apparel
1165
01:12:59,001 --> 01:13:03,920
For if a person wears non-Jewish apparel, G-d forbid,
1166
01:13:03,961 --> 01:13:07,440
if he wears foreign apparel, the clothing of the non-Jews
1167
01:13:07,481 --> 01:13:09,520
then the evil eye will rule over him
1168
01:13:09,561 --> 01:13:13,560
Therefore, one should always dress in the garb of the Holy Nation, to be distinct from [the other nations]
1169
01:13:13,601 --> 01:13:16,080
Our attire should not be like theirs
1170
01:13:16,121 --> 01:13:18,200
And this is our traditional dress,
1171
01:13:18,241 --> 01:13:21,840
that we are not dressed the same
1172
01:13:21,881 --> 01:13:26,400
That we would have no association with their appearance or dress
1173
01:13:26,441 --> 01:13:31,600
So, this separatism, causes the mind and intellect to ascend
1174
01:13:31,641 --> 01:13:37,280
and then we can leave all impurity
1175
01:13:37,321 --> 01:13:40,040
which prevents us from drawing near to holiness
1176
01:13:40,081 --> 01:13:42,280
So, we were initially at a level of holiness,
1177
01:13:42,321 --> 01:13:45,640
during the era of the Temple, and the era of Moshe Rabbeinu,
1178
01:13:45,681 --> 01:13:48,920
during the era of the prophet Samuel, King David, and King Solomon
1179
01:13:48,961 --> 01:13:51,720
and all the holy individuals on a level of sanctity,
1180
01:13:51,761 --> 01:13:56,760
and their only obstacle to Hash-m was from the side of holiness.
1181
01:13:56,801 --> 01:13:59,280
So, today, what prevents us from drawing close to Hash-m
1182
01:13:59,321 --> 01:14:01,400
is not prevention from the side of holiness,
1183
01:14:01,441 --> 01:14:05,120
rather, hindrance from the side of impurity. The whole world is full of impurity,
1184
01:14:05,161 --> 01:14:07,360
and all views are full of lies
1185
01:14:07,401 --> 01:14:10,920
And a person needs to strive time and time again after the truth
1186
01:14:10,961 --> 01:14:15,000
after Hash-m; to request Him, and please Him
1187
01:14:15,041 --> 01:14:17,800
What is my purpose, amidst all the emptiness of this world?
1188
01:14:17,841 --> 01:14:21,080
What is each person's purpose, and that of all he undergoes?
1189
01:14:21,121 --> 01:14:24,200
He should think about his final day, when he will be escorted to the pit
1190
01:14:24,241 --> 01:14:27,120
and he will be alone, unaccompanied by a single thing,
1191
01:14:27,161 --> 01:14:30,360
only Torah, mitzvot, good deeds, and all he did
1192
01:14:30,401 --> 01:14:32,720
He will be full of the fear of Heaven, and holiness
1193
01:14:32,761 --> 01:14:34,920
There he will be awarded no honor
1194
01:14:34,961 --> 01:14:36,640
and no one will go with him
1195
01:14:36,681 --> 01:14:39,400
and no one will accompany or defend him
1196
01:14:39,441 --> 01:14:42,800
except all his deeds done before Hash-m
1197
01:14:42,841 --> 01:14:46,960
And this is what he should keep in mind every moment, in every observation
1198
01:14:47,001 --> 01:14:51,280
What is truly cleaving to Hash-m? What is fearing Hash-m?
1199
01:14:51,321 --> 01:14:53,480
When a person is willing to give his life at any moment,
1200
01:14:53,521 --> 01:14:55,880
and he is not afraid to stand before the heavenly court
1201
01:14:55,921 --> 01:14:57,400
This is fear of Heaven
1202
01:14:57,441 --> 01:15:00,840
A person with fear of Heaven is not someone with a naïve expression
1203
01:15:00,881 --> 01:15:03,960
Fear of Heaven is a person who is willing
1204
01:15:04,001 --> 01:15:06,040
to give his life at every moment
1205
01:15:06,081 --> 01:15:09,160
and he is not ashamed to stand before the Heavenly court
1206
01:15:09,201 --> 01:15:10,920
He knows that when they escort him to the grave,
1207
01:15:10,961 --> 01:15:13,480
he will still be imbued with the fear of Heaven before the Heavenly court
1208
01:15:13,521 --> 01:15:15,040
This is the fear of Heaven,
1209
01:15:15,081 --> 01:15:19,640
when he imagines how they will bathe and wrap him
1210
01:15:19,681 --> 01:15:23,400
and place him in the pit; and he remains permeated with the fear of Heaven
1211
01:15:23,441 --> 01:15:26,760
full of holiness and purity –this is called the fear of Heaven
1212
01:15:26,801 --> 01:15:28,120
And this is a lowly level at that
1213
01:15:28,161 --> 01:15:30,440
We won't expand upon other levels, but
1214
01:15:30,481 --> 01:15:33,440
this is simply a little of the fear of Heaven
1215
01:15:33,481 --> 01:15:35,640
And these are things one must think about
1216
01:15:35,681 --> 01:15:39,240
But to leave "the straits"
1217
01:15:39,281 --> 01:15:42,680
while in this state of exile
1218
01:15:42,721 --> 01:15:44,640
We arrived again at this time of year
1219
01:15:44,681 --> 01:15:50,000
approaching the pain of the Temple's destruction
1220
01:15:50,041 --> 01:15:53,360
and we see how our Temple was destroyed,
1221
01:15:53,401 --> 01:15:59,640
the place where Hash-m's presence resided,
1222
01:15:59,681 --> 01:16:03,080
in this holy and pure place
1223
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:07,200
King David, who merited revealing [the Temple site]…
1224
01:16:07,241 --> 01:16:09,120
Which he inferred, of course, from the book of Joshua -
1225
01:16:09,161 --> 01:16:11,680
He found support [for his view] in the book of Joshua
1226
01:16:11,721 --> 01:16:14,640
And he knew how to reveal the site of the Temple
1227
01:16:14,681 --> 01:16:16,880
He did not want to, 'give sleep to his eyes'
1228
01:16:16,921 --> 01:16:18,560
until he found the site for the Temple
1229
01:16:18,601 --> 01:16:20,480
And Hash-m allowed this revelation to come through him,
1230
01:16:20,521 --> 01:16:22,720
in what David chose and found,
1231
01:16:22,761 --> 01:16:25,720
he selected the place which Hash-m desired,
1232
01:16:25,761 --> 01:16:29,480
and Hash-m assented with David, and built the Temple
1233
01:16:29,521 --> 01:16:32,920
there by King Solomon, on the Temple site
1234
01:16:32,961 --> 01:16:37,440
This is the place which is exalted and glorious before Hash-m
1235
01:16:37,481 --> 01:16:39,480
And there, Hash-m's will was revealed
1236
01:16:39,521 --> 01:16:43,040
And now, that we are exile
1237
01:16:43,081 --> 01:16:45,240
and the Temple has been destroyed,
1238
01:16:45,281 --> 01:16:47,920
everyone is in error,
1239
01:16:47,961 --> 01:16:50,640
and continues in absence of correct thought
1240
01:16:50,681 --> 01:16:53,360
and struggles with the screen of impurity
1241
01:16:53,401 --> 01:16:57,000
This impurity is all the notions in the world
1242
01:16:57,041 --> 01:16:59,920
all the opinions and pride
941
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,480
all the sin and crime
1243
01:17:02,480 --> 01:17:04,160
all the views in the world
1244
01:17:04,201 --> 01:17:07,480
All this forms one massive screen
1245
01:17:07,521 --> 01:17:10,800
And when a person truly loves Hash-m, and truly cleaves to Him,
1246
01:17:10,841 --> 01:17:12,800
and repents before Hash-m,
1247
01:17:12,841 --> 01:17:16,600
he possesses truth, the "absolute truth"
1248
01:17:16,641 --> 01:17:18,120
For he always yearns for Hash-m
1249
01:17:18,161 --> 01:17:20,400
and continually remembers his purpose
1250
01:17:20,441 --> 01:17:22,680
He can penetrate this screen
1251
01:17:22,721 --> 01:17:25,280
Remember and think deeply on this.
1252
01:17:25,321 --> 01:17:28,680
Always keep in mind and contemplate that this is the difference
1253
01:17:28,721 --> 01:17:31,920
Not to assume that maybe we are now…
1254
01:17:31,961 --> 01:17:35,680
People err, and think that as in the time of the Temple,
1255
01:17:35,721 --> 01:17:37,520
and Moshe Rabbeinu,
1256
01:17:37,561 --> 01:17:40,600
their barriers are those of holiness
1257
01:17:40,641 --> 01:17:42,280
These are not barriers from the side of holiness
1258
01:17:42,321 --> 01:17:44,280
Each barrier a person has
1259
01:17:44,321 --> 01:17:47,400
is from the evil inclination which tries to thwart him
1260
01:17:47,441 --> 01:17:49,960
from drawing close to true and eternal good
1261
01:17:50,001 --> 01:17:55,160
This must be broken, it must be eliminated and fought with lion-like ferocity
1262
01:17:55,201 --> 01:17:58,040
like a courageous lion for Hash-m's glorification, may He be blessed
1263
01:17:58,081 --> 01:17:59,440
To overcome everything
1264
01:17:59,481 --> 01:18:03,360
and to enthrone Hashem with every observation, with every gaze
1265
01:18:03,401 --> 01:18:06,640
With every thought, every organ, every sinew
1266
01:18:06,681 --> 01:18:10,400
Solely to enthrone the Holy One, to coronate Hash-m,
1267
01:18:10,441 --> 01:18:11,960
solely to inaugurate the Blessed Creator
1268
01:18:12,001 --> 01:18:14,320
over every organ, every sinew
1269
01:18:14,361 --> 01:18:17,920
And not take our mind off Hash-m for even the slightest moment
1270
01:18:17,961 --> 01:18:20,800
There is no distracting our thought from Hash-m even for a slight moment
1271
01:18:20,841 --> 01:18:23,080
In thought, word or deed
1272
01:18:23,121 --> 01:18:26,520
Cleave to Hash-m all the time, every moment
1273
01:18:26,561 --> 01:18:29,760
Even if a person went to sleep for a slight moment,
1274
01:18:29,801 --> 01:18:31,320
and dreams,
1275
01:18:31,361 --> 01:18:34,000
even in the dream he should still be attached to Hash-m
1276
01:18:34,041 --> 01:18:35,920
And when he arises, he should still be attached to Hash-m
1277
01:18:35,961 --> 01:18:37,520
When he goes to sleep, he clings to Hash-m
1278
01:18:37,561 --> 01:18:41,200
And Hash-m is his entire existence and hope
1279
01:18:41,241 --> 01:18:44,160
The Rebbe from Vilednik said, in the name of the Baal Shem Tov,
1280
01:18:44,201 --> 01:18:45,320
When the Baal Shem Tov would say,
1281
01:18:45,361 --> 01:18:47,440
"May Hash-m complete your every wish,"
1282
01:18:47,481 --> 01:18:50,240
the intent is, all your wishes should be for Hash-m to be "complete"
1283
01:18:50,281 --> 01:18:53,040
that Hash-m should be complete, and His name complete
1284
01:18:53,081 --> 01:18:55,480
For currently, Hash-m's name is lacking
1285
01:18:55,521 --> 01:18:58,880
So, this is a person's main hope, and his heart's main request
1286
01:18:58,921 --> 01:19:03,320
The Baal Shem Tov says, "May Hash-m complete your every wish"
1287
01:19:03,361 --> 01:19:05,000
When you reach such a level
1288
01:19:05,041 --> 01:19:08,640
that all your requests are that Hash-m's name be complete,
1289
01:19:08,681 --> 01:19:12,360
Hash-m's name and throne be complete,
1290
01:19:12,401 --> 01:19:14,120
and Hash-m's name be complete
1291
01:19:14,161 --> 01:19:16,400
This is the goal –to inaugurate Hash-m,
1292
01:19:16,441 --> 01:19:18,520
to think solely upon Hash-m
1293
01:19:18,561 --> 01:19:21,960
May it be His will that Hash-m grant us bountiful goodness
1294
01:19:22,001 --> 01:19:24,800
May we merit pleasing Hash-m
1295
01:19:24,841 --> 01:19:27,040
May we merit the 'ultimate truth'
1296
01:19:27,081 --> 01:19:30,920
and merit cleaving to Him, in truth, in simplicity
1297
01:19:30,961 --> 01:19:32,760
being innocent before Him, may He be blessed
1298
01:19:32,801 --> 01:19:34,560
serving Him,
1299
01:19:34,601 --> 01:19:37,680
bringing Him pleasure and honor
1300
01:19:37,721 --> 01:19:40,560
May we pray and wish that Hash-m, may He be blessed,
1301
01:19:40,601 --> 01:19:44,280
build His House –the Temple
1302
01:19:44,321 --> 01:19:47,000
And may we inaugurate Him over all the worlds
1303
01:19:47,041 --> 01:19:53,040
And may all testify and say as one: "Hash-m is one and His name is one"
1304
01:19:53,081 --> 01:19:57,440
May Hash-m reign over us forevermore, and may we merit the final and complete redemption
