Bitachon 52 - Birthpangs of Moshiach II

you're listening to the 50 second edition of the talking podcast and we continue where we left off in the spoke about the idea of in the face of traveling in the face of challenges difficulties din in the entire world how do we face off with that we face off with that we'd be talking with complete faith in hashem and that's what protects us ultimately from these challenges from these difficulties but he says as we mentioned before and as he going to explain now there's different ways there's different approaches for different parts of the jewish people there's basic israel there's the house of israel there's the kahanam the teachers who teach the jewish people there's the hashem the those who fear god's word each person has a different level and as we'll see there's a different approach that's taken to the bhitakan and it's very interesting and we need to understand something about this and i believe it's the he says even though we've seen elsewhere that bhitakhan is not dependent upon a person's merit really even in russia a person who's wicked but he trusts in hashem he's surrounded by god's kindness but we're going to see that there is something to the fact that a person can call it's not clear to me exactly for whom he's calling this but he can call his merit in front of hashem hashem remember us remember and bless us because of our merits remember the merits there are good things about the jewish people base israel they're good things about the kahanam the the leaders the teachers and there are good things about the kharadim udvarsh and those who fear god's word that can be remembered and we can call perhaps for ourselves to believe that we deserve hashem's love and and and that our home will work because we've done something good or perhaps to bring it in front of hashem we especially in a time of din we need an extra merit in order for arbitalkin to work it could be that that's the shot but let's see what he says we shall not call first of all yes we ask hashem to remember for us the fact that the entire jewish people we all stood at mount sinai and we received the torah no matter what god might request we said that whatever hashem says we will listen and we will do we don't need to hear it first we just said we're ready to do whatever you want we didn't clarify try to understand oh what does it say in a torah like a7 ishmael asked me said i'm interested in torah but not the not the part about murder zamoks and this one said i'm interested in the torah but not the part about adultery islam by us accepting the torah sight unseen without asking what is it saying torah by us doing so so we we made hashem's name great in the world we made god's name known in the world hold on i just want to check something yes we're still on just making sure okay um so what a great school is what a great merit it is for us john doesn't forget the merit of the jewish people that we did so long ago 3 300 years ago still it stands for us today we still keep the torah we still do what it says we made such a great kid of hashem don't forget about the kid of hashem we ask god oh just carolina we also ask hashem to remember how many times were there decrees against the jewish people jews were ruthlessly murdered this is time speaking before world war ii but it was true before world war ii and there's many times the jews were murdered killed plummeted all their possessions taken we gave up our lives in order not to be converted to christianity not to give into the ways of the pagan nations not just because we didn't want to serve idolatry but really for any reason that didn't that a person was obligated to give up his life for those reasons we fulfilled this so many times this hashem we were slaughtered we went into fire and water in order that we create akira shashem it's very interesting so this that he's talking about is we sanctified god's name by giving up our lives during the times of these decrees with that called elah he and shauna reiki may call besides let's remember that a hundred years ago when khabib was speaking there was only 20 or 30 000 jews in israel the rest of the world druid 15 million jews 18 million jews were spread out throughout the entire world today we have nearly seven million jews in earth's israel in the land of israel because clearly we are very close to gaula to the redemption but look we were outside of our landship carved alpine in nearly two thousand years even beforehand the jewish people were kicked out after the first base amigdas the first temple jews remained in certain lands right so the jewish people have a merit we have a certain merit we've undergone yes difficulties challenges terrible pain got me in london we don't have prophets we don't have a sanhedrin to lead us like basa mikdash we don't have the temple we don't kings we don't have judges what do we have that makes us a nation it's not a country it's not a place it's not leaders even it's the fact that we have the torah and we keep the torah what a kid of hashem that is jewish people keep the torah or you commit seriously besides hear this there are so many decrees upon the jewish people to try to stop us from studying the holy torah you know why you told them how many times were we kicked out and sent from one country to another and from one city to another look what's going on now in the ukraine the truth is not for the fact that hashem was helping us every single time skyman we could not have lasted like this is one of the themes of pesach of course uh for us to falter for us to trip our feet to give give out from under us rabbis but after all of these things after all we've gone through as a nation over the last 2000 years of gullus we still are undergoing def great difficulties there are still nations who wish to destroy us who want to wipe us off the map want to hurt us wherever we are in the world what does the jewish people do even despite all these difficulties despite governments that wish to oppress us because we want to keep the torah nevertheless we continue to study and keep the torah in every detail whether it's regards to knowing what the torah says studying the torah whether it's in regards to keeping the torah my name is that we're not interested in trying to understand what does it mean we find explanations for it in other sections of the torah we find it in the gemara s how many thousands are studying the torah how many thousands are learning how many thousands are sitting in kalulim in order to be able to understand what is hashem want from us what does hashem wish for us to do what an incredible merit system there are hundreds and thousands of explanations for shimon on the gomorrah scholars israel in the north and the south wherever the jews are exiled we've written these explanations we've communicated them we've studied them came in israel when it comes to fulfilling the mises the jewish people are working hard we're trying to do shahmanis the proper way we're trying to do matanos in the proper way we're trying to keep pesach the proper way to buy the right kind of matzos to have the right kind of lula of an asteroid with kindness the beginner or some in fear of god in the love of god people have their different mitzvahs that they attach themselves to they connect to this is what the jewish people did throughout history in such terrible difficult times through oppressions and holocausts and severe hunger and war jewish people continued in the concentration camps to light that menorah to to try to put on a pair of fillings tremendous difficulties being sent throughout the entire world and despite all of this we have printed our shas we printed the gemara we printed the mishnaya so so many savaram continuously pouring out the jewish people pouring out more and more books we're speaking here the person who's speaking is the baal mahabharat of the same permission of burra each islam become each person on his place bishop or david people are putting out books we're writing what do people write about what does a nation write about the things that are most important to them the torah and astra telling you says let's go back to our subject hashem we ask god to remember us we say hashem we want to be talking to you but we have a reference we have a weakness on our document we don't feel like we deserve it wait let's think about it let's think about it we do deserve it we do deserve for you to answer our prayers we do deserve for you to protect us and help us first thing that we ask god to remember is remember the tens and hundreds of times and thousands of times hashem the millions of times that we gave up our lives to sanctify god's name just because we are jews we deserve a complete redemption i wouldn't have the chutzpa to say this but the shame is 100 years after he passed away his name is still going from one end of the earth to the other well there's a picture that's found of him a real picture of him what a simcha the prophet tells us we deserve goula we've been through so much we are so dedicated to your name or that's why we say hashem should bless the house of israel that's to be taken that the general populace can have look how much look how much we have sacrificed for you god the coyote claudius is going on the general populace be sarin then we say god bless the house of aaron hainu she remember the merit of the holy quran the holy priests himself was a cohen the house of the kashmir they fought for god they were able to overcome the greeks they vanquished the greeks those holy priests they had they had the maluha they had the kingdom they were the kings over the jewish people for approximately two hundred years these cars closed remember their merit remember their fight they were not afraid to fight to stand up for god to stand up for what was right began canaan ali days honor we deserve blessings as well because of what they did in their merit well i don't know we also ask god remember the merit of those who fear god those who are the charadin of hashem who are shaking they just want to make sure that they do things right they want to do god's will correctly they remind us we see people who are cool a torah their entire life is dedication to torah we see people who their entire being is just learning torah and that inspires us that inspires us to fulfill the torah properly so they have an incredible merit himself those who are small with those who are great because we learn from them they inspire us in conclusion of this section based on what we have explained we can understand we have incredible incredible merits we have an incredible reason to know to believe that god will bless us and for this reason we don't need to be afraid that we don't deserve that shaman should do things because we have we're going to be afraid that we will be we will be squashed by the the me by the by the attribute of justice why we can have be talking we can be absolutely positive no doubts that god will quicken hasten our good hour redemption of fudus him and the salvation of our souls with incredible compassion and he will reveal his honor in the world especially in our days and then the verse will be fulfilled that which it says may my beloved one come may he come to the the garden and eat from the fruits what does it mean god will return to the garden here i'm in the garden right here you see behind me you see all the incredible beautiful kalaniot the flowers of arts israel the special flowers of versus troll right here in the garden the jewish people are returning to the garden seven million strong the rest of us just to hop skip and jump away you guys are all so close it's so close we have been doing this we've been preparing the garden for nearly two thousand years who is like your nation one nation in the earth one nation in the land in the land which is endured all of these difficulties all of these challenges all of the oppression the 2000 years we've endured it all why for hashem's honor because we stuck to the torah we stuck to our uniqueness our special way of life to that which god commanded us three thousand three hundred years ago and we said we're willing to do it that incredible killer hashem it remains till this day and we reinforce it we reinforce it and through our willingness to sacrifice for torah through our willingness to sacrifice for what's right we strengthen that sanctification of god's name we say god is in the world god you're in the world now show yourself bring that goola see all of our suffering throughout the years see all the difficulties we can be we can be confident we can be absolutely confident that if we attach ourselves to torah if we attach ourselves to self-sacrifice for torah we attach ourselves to god in this way we have we can have absolute confidence that he will protect us and stand by us throughout the difficult times hopefully just a moment god will bring us back will come the messiah will arrive with incredible with incredible mercy upon the jewish people because of all the things that we've been through and even today all the challenges that we face in our rookiness and our spirituality and our gosh and our physical the physical realm all of these things stand for us so that we can be confident and know hashem will protect
