Emuna and Chanukah Global Virtual Tour with Chazaq and Rav Shalom Arush! Night 6!

[Music] six candles for the six parts of the mishnah which resemble the torah that was given to us not written at mount sinai the torah that was given to us orally by the sages [Music] many times parents ask me why do we see our children who are starting to go down who are starting to leave the path of the torah why is that happening and i say to them because you don't have the light of hanukkah in your house [Music] they look at me do they understand what are you talking about the light of hanukkah is something you need all year round [Music] thank you to praise and to thank hashem i say to them if your children would see their parents being happy singing and dancing when they do one of hashem commandments they see the father dancing oh i went to show i put on filling they see their mother saying oh barak hashem i did afroshala [Music] so they can see that that is the essence of their life [Music] certainly the children themselves would want to be part of it also for them the light of the torah and the mistress would shine also on the children [Music] that if the light of the torah in the midst is dark and shaded for the parents certainly for the children it will be even darker and more may shaded all merit that the light of chanukah will light in your houses and in the houses of all the vamp for the whole year round [Music] and what we'd like to ask is how does this become so universal how do we make it that it's not just a jewish people uh solution to help us in exile to help us get ready for mashiach because people are asking also again why can't hashem himself bring mashiach why does it have to be man people are asking this underneath so these are the kind of questions that people are asking whether they're jewish not jewish and it seems to be these are universal um questions so how is it universal how did the garden of mundo originally was called the god mood and now has become the universal this is the question for both of them and i don't have to translate it because he learned that book on his flesh okay so thank you for the raptor giving me the the the memory to answer i would say something personal i think when i read the book for the first time it was a little pamphlet it was really a small little book and today it's like four or five times from what i read originally but in the second i read it it was talking to me i i i felt someone was talking to me so why is it universal because we see it touches each and every single human being and when i had them married to work with the rabbi in the translation to spanish and we we made the first version already universal later on we the rabbi added more chapters but he told me simply the message is universal because each and every man was created in the image the spiritual image of the creator which means he's got the potential to get close to the creator and that means that every single human being there's no difference in emunah if you're jewish or not jewish you are on earth you have a mission what is the mission to know your creator that's something so basic that that's the first thing a person needs to know who created me and for what reason so it's universal now a jew he's got his special unique uh mitzvot that he needs uh to to fulfill a non-jew he's got the seven universal pers it's what he needs to to fulfill but that's specific to the soul of each and every one but there's something general that is the universal garden of the moon each and every person can live in heaven in this in this world how doing the things that rabbi teaches us the three levels of a munna enriching real closestness to the creation to the creator and he fulfills his mission in life so why is it universal because that's what the creator wanted for all humanity to know him and to live a beautiful life on earth a father loves his children he wants the best for them so that's my personal opinion but the rabbi surely will add a few more details but it's a question a question we hear all the time is it only for jews because a rabbi with a beard and a kippah he wrote it no that's something for every human being that's the same thing for a jew a non-jew it doesn't matter the color of your skin if you're man woman it doesn't matter just read it and live by it and you will feel what is the garden of the moon is heaven on earth that's my opinion the rabbi can uh correct me if there's something to add [Laughter] the rabbi suggests that i tell my story because i also became closer to the garden of emunah i was a i was a young newly made average newlywed avreh and someone came to my house knocked on the door and gave me the book the garden of emunah now i didn't come from the hasidic world and i heard of the rabbi but i never read anything that he wrote before and i took the book i stayed up all night i read the book twice and it's full of footnotes and when i read it i just felt that i finally found the truth it was amazing finally a book that's speaking about the most important things in such a basic language believing in hashem connecting to hashem speaking to him things that for me i felt were so true but they were so foreign because no one ever spoke to me about that i mean no one ever told me that you've got to speak to hashem you know it was something that was just for me it was completely new and i remember that i tried to work with a book for several months and it was wonderful but then i felt that i needed a mentor and i went to meet the rabbi i remember what day it was i remember where i met him i met the rabbi of the rabbi remembers in rishon nazion in a show called eshedhan aisha khalim number 51. that was a street i still remember it it was in tough shin summer first day that i met the rabbi was kafte i still remember the date and i saw the rabbi and i felt i found my guide and i found my mentor and i i'll tell you what's special for me with the book the garden of emona when you read it you feel that this is why we have been placed on this earthly realm hashem wants us to connect to him and the rabbi's book is the only book that i ever read that really and truly speaks about this basic concept of connecting to hashem if you believe him if you believe in him you speak to him and if you don't speak to him that means that you don't believe in him and my life changed and it's become a much better life thanks to my rabbi and my mentor and my spiritual guide and i am really and truly living heaven on her
