[Music] like to welcome everyone to tonight's share all the men and women of a matriarchal common person everyone is joining us on the phone and online to co-sponsor of tonight's shir [Music] newfield family isla nishmas kital bashar mahesh al-asholim and remain cycle initiatives our boys say you can have the greatest ghost of a business started to rob them couldn't you retire with the great expenses incurred for organizing all these shiurim by sponsoring a share or giving you a generous donation call ignore terror at cover that with us 718-851-8651 again the noted margaret pacer crone speaking on holding onto a moon on difficult times this might cover the corner by chrome for tonight's russia it's a very great covet i've been invited once again by igor and shira terra who's probably one of the greatest mabrites toyota in the world today organizing so many shiurim every day in the summer throughout the winter just absolutely incredible and i know that he's very fortunate to have one of the most organized and efficient people ravsem khadej and we appreciate the work that both of these young men do it's wonderful and they should should mention they should be able to continue to be margaret's terror all over the world and of course they deserve our tremendous tremendous support we've come together in very very difficult times of course the video that's been focusing right now only on me you cannot see that this crowd is only a third at least maybe even less than what it usually is and that's because of social distancing and people are being very careful so although this is my first speech where i'm a appearing personally in front of a crowd i've been doing zoom till now but i know that rabbalazar barach is very very careful with the crowds that come to all the different urim so i want you to know throughout the world wherever you are that here in brooklyn they're keeping to the halakhas of the government and what is maximum safety ambassador will be able to continue this way until this covert is over and will be able to get back to normal we've come together in a very very difficult times especially here in brooklyn when kobet first started we know that there was so much pain and so much suffering and so much illness and so many many people rahman al-islam sitting shiva and many many people even today a few months into this we brought hashem a million times over in new york it seems to have flattened out and nobody's been dying the last couple days here in new york because of covert berghassen for that we hope that it'll be that way in florida arizona california and throughout the world but it is a very scary time and it's a frightening time and it's a time of uncertainty and we all feel that and because of that revelation decided that the right topic to talk about tonight is a muna amuna in difficult times and how to hold on to a munna in difficult times and i want to begin by telling you about a letter that the imraemos wrote the emory yemis as many of you know was the third gerard he lived in poland and he was able to escape he was able to get out of poland and he came territo israel and after the war the gerhasim came over to the rebbe and they said reba we need so many people who lost family members fathers mothers children zaydis and bubbas please give us strength and so he wrote a letter and he wrote a letter of strength and rizok but i want to quote one part of that letter because every single one of us knows this passage we know it from kind weiss on and you will see but the helicopter it and how it affects every single one of us and he quoted the pasik bahirev we know that's right and of course in the beginning of voracious and he wrote and i'm translating in english to our brothers in claude israel who have been spared the sword whatever place you may be their abundant shalom should be with you people of the rabbis shall illum be strong and then he touches this way vahi erev there are many many people who go through arab which means darkness and we know every one of us here has friends and relatives that went through terrible terrible darkness in the last few months and yet we know that in certain families in general there's much nachos and much simcha and much happiness maybe not necessarily through covet but in general in life and sometimes we see in the same family there's error there's difficulties certain mothers cannot dress their children the way they would want and when they come to a bar mitzvah or a wedding they're embarrassed because their nephews and nieces are being dressed so beautifully so yet in the same family you have the arab the darkness the husband is not making money and he can't afford all the other things that his brother-in-law can afford and then vahi voiker you have that boycare that happiness and that light and that sunshine and the rabbit said just remember it all comes from that source of light which is the rabbinicial everything happens only because through banishlet wants it in the same family 24 7. they was just watching and orchestrating every little thing that happens and so sometimes when we go through a difficult time and many many people surely have asked themselves if they haven't said it out but they've thought about it why me ruben islam i'm such a good person i've done so much good how could you make such a terrible thing happen to me are you allowed to ask such a question are you allowed to question hakadosh baruch on that and i'm telling you i'm going to tell you now gemara that i would never ever have the courage to say myself unless i saw it in the gemara and you could look it up and it's frightening it's above a basra daft and is talking and if ravina rabashi brought it down into gomorrah that means that we have to learn something from it omar ii of ef what happened a whirlwind came over you you got mixed up with this highlight of ben eve la yeah well you don't know how to spell my name i'm not an ayev i'm not an enemy of yours i'm here i'm your friend how could you do this so if the gemara is telling us that if such a strong kasha we can also ask that kasha you'll see the turrets that the abridged gives in a minute but the point is you're allowed to ask why me everybody's allowed to ask why me because that's what eve was saying he said my name is alefudov bayes not ayev i'll evolve your base so what happened you got mixed up hashem i'm your friend how could you do this so before i tell you what abrisha answered i want to tell you a very tragic story that's not easy to hit listen to but i want to tell you because we're going to learn a great lesson from it you see in my neighborhood where i live in kew gardens in 1996 the day before shiva asapatamas it was a shabbos that year srivastava thomas went on a sunday and that shabbos there was a terrible fire in the helm of menasha silvaglight menasha silva lightning his daughter hannah bayla was burned and she was killed right away in the fire mrs silberg light's mother the grandmother of hanabala was never killed in the fire and there was a third terrible victim masha miriam she was burned severely and she was taken to the new york cornell burn unit i went to see her they gave me permission to see her after a couple days it was horrendous you can't even describe it what it was to see a little child burn so severely and of course everybody was dobbing for her you're not allowed to give a husband you're not allowed to give a eulogy but i'm telling you when they brought in that little coffin with everybody watching how they brought the coffin of that little girl up front you didn't have to say anything everybody was crying and screaming but there was one robe who got up to say something and israel of many of you have heard his name because he suffered terribly terribly from govid and the hebrews there was mata him he was on the cover of his book magazine last week and the shabarya's have ginsburg they added a name to him they thought he wasn't going to make it but hashem is fine i wouldn't say he's 100 but he's he's on the mend but rabbi ginsburg had a daughter that was a friend of misha miriam so he knew masha maria masha miriam used to come to his house because the daughters used to go to each other's house and play and so he got up and he said he's not going to say hespid first of all you couldn't say a haspedholomoid and you didn't have to say a husband on such a terrible tragedy but he said he was going to say div and he told over something that all of us are familiar with when we david on yom kippur and we say the piyutin and over there on music when we talk about rabbi shamoyal how he was tortured and the put right surfing surfing they cried out and bit in the zoo toyota of azusa this is how you treat rabbi ishmael this is the torah and this is the reward and listen what abrasive says i'm going to bring back the world to emptiness sort of really go and ask the question what kind of answer is that okay say it's not your business i have a reason but this is an answer it's a good question sue tired of a zuskara right how could that happen so that's what you said to him aloha you say moab word i'm going to bring back the world to toyo of avaya what does that mean sir village gave a fabulous mushroom and he gave a marshal about a king who wanted to have the most beautiful suit made but the problem was that in his kingdom the best tailor was a yid and he hated jiden but he had no choice because if he wanted to have the best suit made he had to call this yid so he calls the tailor and he says listen i need such a gorgeous suit like never was such a suit made before and the tailor says your honor i'll be very happy to do it let me just measure you i'll tell you what material i need and i'll make the suit and of course he measures the king and he comes back a few weeks later the king had given him all the material that he asked for and the king puts on the suit and he looks like a million dollars he looks fabulous and he makes a big party everybody's at the party admiring how great the king looks now the wife of the king the queen she hated yiddin even more than the king did so she goes over to her husband and she says your honor you really do look great there's no question this suit is beautiful but i want you to know that this jewish a gun off he robbed you so what do you mean he robbed me do you know how much material you gave him that's what she says to her husband you gave him so much material it's true he made the suit but the extra material that was so expensive he cut it up and he kept it for himself and the king looks stuck at the suit and he says you know something you're right i didn't think of that i gave him a lot of material he calls over the taylor who was also had been invited to the party takes him over to the side he said he said what are you talking about he said you're a robber i gave you so much material and you made this suit it's not good great but where's all the other material he says your honor let me show you something do me a favor let's go into the other room take off the suit put on your regular suit and i want to show you something but i need a scissors a ruler and a table and he gets it for him and the king watches how the tailor starts cutting up the suit he says what are you doing because i want to show you something and he shows him how the lapels were double stitched and the belt line everything was doubled and tripled put in so that it looks so seamless and so perfect and he says what are you doing you're ruining the suit and then when he cuts up the whole suit he says now measure it measure it and you'll see every bit of material that i gave you is right there i said but okay but now the suit is ruined they said it's true but at least now you understand where it all came from and that's what the grain said that's what they just said davis just said to him you were not around when i started this world well all right so it's a solution for you if you say one more word i'll bring you back to the beginning and then you're gonna understand because unless you were with me at the beginning of the world and you understand the master plan you can't understand it and that's the answer that the abrasion says to eo take a look downward davis just says to efa for you somebody else diarettes where were you when i started the world hugging you tell me i'm your daughter brina if you're so smart and that's what the answer is you know what the answer is we don't live long enough we don't know the master plan of course hashem has a plan but if you walk in in the middle of the story you can't start asking conscious you come into the middle of a share and all of a sudden the rebbe is saying a tasters or something and you're asking like what are you asking you walked in in the middle so if you walked in in the middle and you don't hang around to the end so how are you going to know the abilities plan that's what they was just said to eif you're not around long enough you weren't there in the beginning and you know something says upshot that you could almost say is adorable listen to this we say in ashrae three times a day shaymir hashem escala escala hashem protects all who he loves he has called harushayam and all the resham yahsh mid he gets rid of now imagine if a guy comes late right he walks into the dominican lake this is what he hears yes i is wiping out excuse me god what are you doing excuse me sir you walked in late you didn't hear the first part shame your hashem escolab and what happens if a guy dies early or if a guy leaves shul early listen with the guy who leaves early but he hears shaymin hashem escala evolve he has caller to show him david should takes care of all who he loves and older him hi chad what are you doing excuse me sir you died early you didn't stick around to the end of the story and that's what the answer is where do we live 70 80 90 years if we're lucky but that's it you can't know the whole story and so therefore when somebody wants to know why me the answer is it's impossible to know sometimes we'll be able to figure it out as you'll see in a moment sometimes we'll be but most of the time we're not around for the whole story that's what they was just saying to eve i understand that you're upset i understand that you're my friend but i've got a master plan but you weren't there from the beginning and you're not around till the end so how could you know and that's what a moon is all about and munna is that hashem knows what he's doing sometimes we can understand what he's doing but sometimes we can't and i'll tell you a very painful story that happened with me those of you who know me personally know that when i was 21 my father was sean passed away he was only 47. now when you're 21 so you think 47 is an old man but most of us sitting here most of us watching know 47 is pretty young right so but my father had learned to negotiate in baltimore and when he learned the naysayers schwab was a rebbe bear rav schwab was a rebbe and they used swirl together with rav rudimen before he came to washington heights and my father loved drop shot and they were friendly so when my father was in the hospital near washington heights my brother of coleman and i ibrahim we stood we stayed but for shabbos so after music my brother and i we walked to the hospital and then we came back to eat the soothing with rav schwab in his robinson schwab says to me nusa how's your father so i said i have better and that he'll be well and he got very strict with me and he said something to me that was so shocking and so frightening but he taught me a lesson for life he said but does not mean that your father's gonna get well imagine i'm 21 i know that if i if my father dies i'm gonna have to leave the yeshiva i have to support my mother my six younger brothers and sisters and i'm hoping that he's going to make it then schwab is telling me but doesn't mean that your father is going to get well he said but means that davish has a master plan and that hopefully one day you'll be able to understand it and he taught me a very important lesson in life anybody who says bad things don't happen is crazy somebody loses a spouse somebody loses a child rahmanillatslan these are terrible terrible things when mashiach comes at the end of time we'll have to understand then hashem will explain to us why it had to happen then we'll understand what the good is but right now it's horrendous you can't go told somebody was sitting shiva oh it's all for the good the guy will say to you mr chen by you what kind of answer is that what kind of talk is that that's insensitive to talk like that of course terrible things happen and when a person understands means that hashem knows what he's doing and one day we'll understand it and of course many times we go through terrible situations somebody loses a job and he's frantic how's he ever going to make parnosa and then three weeks later he gets an offer and he's getting a job that's ten times better than the one that he had or sometimes the guy loses the house that he wanted to buy he thought this was the greatest area but what happens it doesn't go through and he's devastated his wife is devastated and they move to another area and that's where they find the up for their four daughters in the next area and they find the greatest draw in the next area so then we understand why the first thing had to happen the negative happened because that was a buildup because then davidson was going to give us the good and that's what raf schwab is saying the token doesn't mean that everything that happens is good will understand at the end of time why it had to happen but means that hashem has a master plan and that's what a muna is all about and if that's the case how do we hold on to the yamuna and raf schwab brings the zaira qaddish and he says something fabulous and it's something that we could all start doing from tonight when we say kushma either alamita or those of us who haven't done mayor of yet listen to what ashwa brings from azaya when he writes like this the medication or the remedy for a person the high alma behold you want to have the remedy that's going to carry you through the day every day that's the man the kara krishma the one who lanes krishma alta kuna the way you're supposed to now i want to show you how you're supposed to lean krishna i want to show you something maybe you never thought about this let's watch these words and then schwab writes about saying it out loud so that it goes into your heart and you understand it we know that hashem has different names and the different names of hashem symbolize different things when we use the word hashem yudkev that's the hashem of khasid when we use the name eloquenu or eli kim that's the hashem of mishpad now watch this shmy israel we're talking to you hashem hashem who gives you all the hustle who gave you your wife who gave you your house who gave you your kids who gave you your job gave your grandchildren and great grandchildren that's hashem ella cano the judge the one who maybe caused you to lose the job or the one who brought covet or the one who did things that you felt were difficult in this world so shema israel does hashem and there's a lot it's all good eventually we're going to find out that it's all good and that's the medication that's the remedy if we could only say shema in that way every time you think about it forget about when the chasm finishes who cares you're talking to hashem you're talking to yourself you're using that remedy that the zayar says just remember hashem all of us have good every single one of us here has good and every single one of us has difficulties that's what gollus is all about nobody gets away free hashem one day one day we're gonna figure it out one day he's gonna explain it why it all had to happen and that's the remedy and then he says something that is absolutely unbelievable i never thought about it until i saw it in this great cipher which is called rav schwab on prayer you must get that safer listen to what he says how many words in the past six words that's it we know that we say border shame how many words baroque how do you like that six words in shema six words and borrow shame he says you know what that is that's the auremicwa that's the cities of sanctuary there were twelve cities of ori miklot and that's what shema is to you when you say shema you're enrapt and you're protected by a kurdish birkhou because that's your ori miklot when you say the shema it makes you feel comfortable because of course there's hashem and there's other kenu but this hashem that's the earthquake and then he says unbelievable how many words in shema all together 42 how many cities were they of the levine menarches 42 each one was an arie miklot so it's not only the six words of shema and the six words of world shame that are in urdu miglat but the 42 words are shema that's the same remiklot let's read the shema every time that we say it and let's think about that that it's protecting us it's giving us the remedy it's giving us the answer that that's how it's going to be yeah that's what it means that we can't know the answer and that's why we struggle and that's why we have such a beautiful get-together that's being seen literally around the world why to give all the brothers and sisters in classroom to know that hashem loves us and that he's got a master plan and just like we made it through all the shirek la shrek service of the past we're going to make it we're gonna make it and next year there'll be hundreds of people here like there always are and it's sooner than later we just have to darven every day darwin every day and that's what amuna is all about and you know something today i don't have to tell you there are fabulous fabulous swarm on amuno absolutely wrote a safer that sold over a million copies called the garden of amuna has written now living amunets now five volumes it's incredible they've sold over 150 000 oscar sold already of all the living amuno books it's amazing and that's what we have to read you have to read these kind of books don't be embarrassed have a say to with your spouse have a say that with your kids every night read one story in living yamuna and discuss it and you'll see he brings sukim and he brings hazal but there's something that i want to tell you about a third and a fourth book on amuna fabulous a couple years ago i was in anticiral and somebody asked me to go meet a woman called risa rotman i never heard of her and my friend menachem nissel said to me you know who she is i said i know who she is yeah you just don't know her personally but you know in a second i'll tell you who she is he says do you remember that terrible morning in hanov when those four satiki never asked and killed in the most brutal way her husband hayem was the fifth except he didn't die right away he was in a hospital he was in a coma for a year and you know like everything else after a while you forget the tragedies either because there's new things or because we get involved and we forget it's hard to imagine that we're gonna never forget covet but you'll see when the mets are in the world series we will not be talking about covert but you know people do forget but the point is what happened over there was that people forgot but she didn't forget i met her in her apartment in hanov and she told me she was writing a book and she wanted that i should give her a title for the book because she knew that i write for art scroll i gave her a title but art school had a better title and the title that art scroll used is tara anamoona and hanov and in there on page 254 she writes something that is absolutely fabulous you would think a great match giac wrote it and she told me why she wrote it she said throughout the year people kept asking are you in limbo limbo means like are you hanging in the air just waiting for something to happen listen to what she writes no there's no such thing as limbo jews are never in limbo whether they are waiting for a shirt or they're waiting for a baby or any other yeshua or salvation they are exactly in the place they are meant to be to do their avoidance hashem this is the place where i am meant to be at this time to serve hashem and that is true for all jews at any time or any place in their journey and that's a very important lesson that's a very important lesson that right now when we are here in the middle of this covert situation this is exactly where the abridged wants us and as we're going to talk in a few moments life is a test and hashem is testing every single one of us and that's what the corporate situation is all about how do we react do we conceal do we still consider hashem close with amuna and davning and mitzvahs or do we say listen if such a thing could happen i'm out of here no a yid is not in limbo things don't happen just i'm in the vulturine every moment is exactly where the abrister wants you to be and that's the lesson and i'll tell you something so we have to learn tonight how do we hold on to the amuna how are you yourself in difficult times and once again we come to ruff schwab and raf teaches us a very fascinating lesson what happened by yay safe we all remember the story yosef's in jail and the sarah moshkin and the sarah ethan are there and they have a dream and he interprets the dream and listen to what he says he says to the son if only you would think of me just remember me when para i'm telling you you're going to make it because that's what your dream is all about do a favor for me because i interpreted your dream and i'm telling you you're going to make it viscartani el para you remember me topari and you'll take me out of this place and yosef got punished you know why zucker schwab because that's not what he was supposed to say he was supposed to say you remember me you're supposed to make your shotless everybody's supposed to make you shotless but he should have said vehicle you'll remember me to parody the avista will take me out not you remember me say a good word and then hashem will take me out and that's how you hold on to the amount of everything that happens borrow hashem hashem and that has to be hashem you come home hashem your family is there your kids are there your wife is there hashem 100 times a day every little thing that happens you thank hashem you talk to hashem you make a good business deal hashem even if nobody's in the office you're on the phone the guy hung up you step look up you say hashem thank you hashem that's what it's all about and i'll tell you something you know there's very big thomas here in brooklyn who's the talmud of rav murakai schwab and he once told me this story he used to go visit raphshwa brahman schwab the brother of rabjimin who used to visit him in muncie every halloween and the last khalamoid of his life of ramor schwab he was very very sick and the family called this talmud and they said listen maybe you don't want to come this year because your rebbe is so pale and frail you're going to be frightened by what he looks like he says no i still want to see him and he told me that adorable because if they told him this might be the last time he definitely wants to go see rav march but he told me that as soon as he walked in and he saw raf schwab lying in bed so pale and so thrilled because don't forget this was sukkas and he hadn't seen him in six months from home he was so shocked and rav morgan schwab realized that and he said to themselves listen i'm living in happiness and he said zola's vision i couldn't go to show you i'm keeper i wanted to divide and show you i'm triple but i couldn't go but i was still happy you know why because i didn't make myself sick hashem made me sick and if hashem made me sick then i couldn't go to school and listen to what he said he said could you imagine how he touched the words with sign film the way he wants me he says i can't learn anymore because i get headaches you don't think i want to learn but i'm okay you know why i'm okay because i didn't give myself the headache damage to gave me the headache and if he gave me the headache he knew very well that i wouldn't be able to learn and if that's what he wants i'm okay with that what an attitude what an attitude hi i'm returning i'm living the way you want me to live i didn't make myself sick you made me sick and i can't go to schule so if that's what you want i'm okay with that that's an amazing attitude not that a person is complaining hashem why'd you do this whatever you had a reason i trust you that's what a moon is all about and i'm gonna live with it and i'm gonna manage i'm gonna manage the best that i can because if that's what you want i'm okay with that that's what a moon is all about and i'll tell you something amazing there's a great love robin yemen eisenberg everybody who knows him loves him tremendous tremendous person and he once told me he once told me about a girl that was crying day and night and the father begged robin yerman to speak to her he doesn't usually speak to women but this man pleaded please my daughter doesn't stop crying so he told me what the daughter spoke to him about it it's so amazing hey look talk to her and cloudy so listen to this this girl had cancer and now she was in remission and she said to robin yeoman she said rebbe when i was so sick i darvened every day to shem i spoke to hashem all day i felt so close to hashem but now that i'm in remission i don't talk to hashem the way i did i don't feel that close anymore and i feel terrible because i want to feel close imagine the helicoid of a bassist royal she doesn't want to be sick but she wants to feel that connection to akodesh baraku and she said when i was so sick i dive and i felt so close i was talking to hashem all day so he told her whatever he told her but i told him if i was there what i would have told this girl is that life is a test they wish to test you in the good times and he tests you in the bad times and robertson younger i said shalom she wrote just such a book called life as a test and i want to tell you now something so amazing again if you didn't see it inside you absolutely would not believe it there's a wonderful safer called shimusha shelter was written by the grandson of rav lazer shah zakatar the grandson of usher bergman and he was always by his zeder and rav shah told him many stories about many different goddalam and he wrote down all the stories and he printed them in this book shimusha toyota so he has a whole section on rabhaim celavaichik so he writes that somebody once came over to abhayam and brisk and said you know there's a wealthy guy who lost all his money how come i should have made him lose all his money sarabhaim said i'll tell you why he said i'll give you a marshall imagine a father gives a little child a very sharp knife to play with well if the kid is not careful he's going to cut himself and the kid did cut himself and the father took the knife away and said money for some people is very dangerous and this person who had the money he did not act appropriately and so therefore that was like the sharp knife he had money he should have done stuff with the money but he didn't and so hashem took it away it's like a sharp knife so of course they asked for a climb yeah but what about this fellow and they mentioned the name and i don't want to say the name of the person even though it's in the safer because we all know people by that name so i don't want it to be hot someone in her and those people but they said this guy he was the biggest about stuck in town and brisk pluto was like a circus in his house everybody came how come he lost his money listen to the terrorists that raphael's elevator gave you wouldn't believe it i wouldn't believe it unless i saw it inside and it's on page i'm going to tell you exactly what page it's on so that you can look it up yourself it's on page i think 201 you have to see it it's just unbelievable and he says like this he says life is like a university what does that mean he says a father sends a son to college and he passes the first semester it's very difficult but what happens at the end of the semester he has to send him to the next courts so even though he passed the first course it's got no bearing on the second course he's got to still take that second course and he said the amisha gave that fellow the course of wealth and he passed it now he's giving him the course of poverty and he's being tested it's not that davish doesn't like him but life is a test life is a university what an expression who would believe that from al qaeda's television but you take a look at shimoushi tera you'll see that's exactly what he says it's absolutely incredible that life is a university and therefore you have to be able to pass every single course and between me and you of course nobody can say why covet came unless you're a navi but i'll tell you one thing we went through a lot of wealth here in america all of us every single one of us we had a great life until program time right there were many many people that were doing very well and generally speaking and maybe we did pass that test of wealth and now we're being tested how do you do it when you can't come to show how do you do it when you can't get your kid to school or to your shiva are you learning with him are you darling with him are you making sure that you're doing all the mixes the way you're supposed to even in the difficult times but hashem a million times over it's not the concentration camps nobody's killing us in the streets it's difficult there's no question it's a test and maybe that's what it's all about it's a test the university test we go through the course of wealth and we passed it and now we're going through this course hashem will pass this and then we'll go back to the regular way of life but life is a test and the abe is just testing us so how do we do it how do we maintain the amuno so i want to tell you about a wonderful book it's a safer really it's in english a fellow usual greenwald wrote it and i'll tell you the truth i have a whole section in my house on smarter manamuna i don't think i ever looked at that safer until i was preparing this talk and i opened up the cover and i saw that he gave it to me i don't even remember when he gave it to me and he's in australia now i was in australia twice so obviously he gave it to me and i called him today to thank him i said when did you and i meet he said the last time you were here i gave you the safer i said i want you to know of all the sperm and one of your safer was fabulous and i gave him the link so i hope he's watching it's 14 hours ahead it might be in the middle of the night over there ready but the point is he wrote a say for also under mendel kaplan that's those of you who know the odd squirrel book on ramen the capital it's the same rap you saw greenwald and he tells a fabulous story in there it's one used to cry he said rabbi when he was a young man rabbi rahul he was a philosopher he's a thinker and he was so nervous because he was having shayla sadamuna and he had all these questions and he was going crazy and then he went to rav naftali amsterdam who was one of the tamidim of ravi sosalanta and he said rebbe help me what should i do i have shailas in a munna and i don't want to have this shyless he was crying and listen what i'm not telling amsterdam told him and he said to him like this you want to build up your ramuna i'll tell you what to do learn and rashi he said and not murder just homish and rashi every week and rashi will give you the essay days of amuno and maybe that's what we should do maybe that's what we should do when was the last time any of us went through a parsha even part of the parsha with khomashin rashi and i'll tell you what to do start from ravi because everybody knows from the beginning to the middle right start from a v and go to the end and you'll pick up rashis and write them down and underline them and then you're going to see this and a moon that's what rav naftalians and i'm told and you know what rahm mendel said ramando told this robbie stroll he said rabbi when he heard that problem he always used this set of hamashim even in his days in mir wherever he was and the pages were falling out and tattered and torn but he loved that set of hamashian and he always used it and he felt that that's what gave him a zamuna and maybe maybe we should decide every day let's learn a couple of sukkam of khumasharashi and let's see what rashi's talking about and today there are wonderful wonderful swarm even in english as well to bring out what rashi is teaching us that's one way of keeping on to the amuna you know there's another way that he brings which is absolutely fabulous and he told me i spoke to him today i told you i called australia and in the book he writes that he heard it from don segal now if you take a look in the mission of brewer simon reshnon in archaic it tells us that when you buy something for shabbos you're supposed to say le cover chavez kaidish now every time that you say look how challenging listen what the mishna brewer writes i want to repeat it when you do something and you say something you physically bring that thought la misa you might think you're cleaning the house for shabbos but if you say it there is an element of kadusha because the thought became something tangible a word and that's why you have to be so careful you're doing whatever you're doing in the cover chat is kaidish say it look at javascript you're putting on a fresh suit or fresh shirt or whatever whatever you're doing in the coffee shop is kai dish and then you begin to feel the hello kite of shabbos because you're always saying look at javascript and we've all been by people who eat a special food on shabbos or whatever the cover chub is kurdish it's beautiful it makes it real and that's what he says you should do with amuno everything that happens to you in life thank you hashem thank you it couldn't have happened without you i thank you so much you made a deal you drove someplace and everything was fine you came early some place whatever talk to hashem of course we think hashem thank you very much but if you say it you say it and he brings a wonderful example and i brought a gift for all of you tonight because i want you to take this home and start doing this and i'm going to tell you a little story you know i have a very dear friend hayam abattan it's a wonderful wonderful doctor and when his father was shalom who was a rover in long beach he had learned in ponovich but when his father died of course i went to bed i'm very friendly with him and he said you know i want to do something with my father i said you're right we got to do something and we came up with some ideas whatever idea we came up with he wasn't satisfied then one day he came up with this idea listen to this state bufferish in halakhan that before you take a medical a medicine or even if you take a vitamin or even if you're going to go through a medical procedure there's a certain sign you're supposed to say you wrote hashem help me that this should cure me because you're the free healer and then when you finish you say barack he said you know what i'm going to make cards and i'm going to give it out to everyone and you take it out and give it out that to druschus and i'm going to keep it on my desk in his office and he said he's going to give it out to everyone and you know he told me khaim everton told me a great thing you know he's got a lot of glacier clients as well he does colonoscopies and you know other things so he said he called up kaminetsky he said you know i have this card and i have it in hebrew and english as you'll see i'm going to give it out to you right afterwards and everybody can take it as many as you need put it up on your refrigerator whatever keep it obviously you can put in the bathroom even though your medicine chest is there because it has hashem's name there but the idea is he asked small should i tell my gaussia clients before i do a procedure on them that they should say this even in english and he said of course because a guy also has to believe in hashem right so they haven't let him know that you're just a shliya it's not in your hands it's in hashem's hands that's a beautiful thing that's what shmuel told them again the mere fact that you're taking the medicine that's one thing but here ki haddibor who poi al harvey because now the medicine is a halal gaza you took some medicine but you made it helic and you connected hashem because you're saying this is my munna hashem i trust you you're going to make me healthy and this is the way to do it so i'm making mysteries but it's you because you're the reifehenum and that's a way another way besides the rashi and besides saying hashem and besides saying shema yes earl as we said and understanding it that way that's how you hold on to the ammuna and i'll tell you two more things i believe one of the most important brachas that we have that can bring us amuna is ashiyaka i have spoken about this so many times that when you say ashiyata stand in one place stand in one place how long does it take nine seconds you know the other day i had to give a shmuzo and zoom to hover and they israel and we were speaking about the human body and i told them that i once heard something from rabbi tats salzang zone the brilliant brilliant person and he said in hebrew the word or i involve means skin but it also it's the same letters as ever i and verve blind so he said why is it that in hebrew the word blind is the same word as the word skin skin and blind why he says you know why because the skin blinds you to what's going on you can't see what zoom in somebody's heart and somebody's colon and somebody's spleen because the skin is blinding you that's interesting and then it occurred to me in english how do you say skin it's another way to say it anybody know hide right isn't that interesting hide it's called skin it also hides what's going on in the body so if that's the case when do we ever thank hashem for the whole circulatory system and for the whole digestive system we take it for granted but when you say ashi yota you stop you stand in one place and you know something what the villain says you take a look and they girl you won't believe it says this is the only brah not shayifa not megillah not citrus nothing that we mentioned he says you know why because we have to know who she has even from up there on these mundane things which are even embarrassing to talk about but you say ashiyotsar numerous times a day or at night and you stand in one place and you think about it that'll bring it to muna that'll bring you to our curse i'll tell you that you're alive especially in this time and that everything is functioning and if you want to have a munna we learn homosenrashi and we say israel and we think about hashem and you say ashiyatsa and every time something good happens you thank hashem and i'll tell you two more things you know many many people know this but i'm going to add something to this we know that the brisker of revel he learned this from his father abraham that when he was in a jam he would say enord i'm telling you i'm telling you it works you're in a jam you don't know how you're going to get out of it just close your eyes and just say ain't it they say it quietly you'll say you're going to make it that's the greatest level of a mona that abrasives only up to you and you know he has this in his safer rabbi greenwald i can't get over it there was a person who's known as the basayan rav he was and he was lived in ukraine and then eventually decided to move to swas and he came to swash he was the head of kehillah and swas and thousands of people i just saw pictures or melodrama goes there on his yard site and they they probably over there tremendously it's a place where moisture happened and you know what he said when a person is in a jam you should take a candy or a glass of water and make the bracha coil nearby everything that happens only because of him so that's the same type of thing as another either you say or like the bas ayan says you say shaha koyal nia batwara again it's the same idea that's what amuna is all about i just want to tell you there's one more way that i believe that we can hold on to amuno and that is by telling each other and by listening to stories of ashkajo protest when you hear stories of ashkajo protests and you see how the abrasion orchestrates the world you just stand back and aw and you say i know this right here and i'm going to tell you a couple of stories of ashkapratas tell them over read other books of hashgraph protest and i'm i'm telling you it's absolutely amazing i'll tell you this story you know we just know that rob david trent never passed away a little over a year ago his yard site was just a few weeks ago so his wife leia is my cousin so she once told me a story amazing story in 1971 she was in a taxi and she's sitting in the back and all of a sudden she turns around and she sees on the back there's a gemara and she takes a look at the name of the cab driver he's like a pakistani he's probably not learning gamora and she says to him excuse me is this your book he says no somebody was in my car this morning and he left it here by mistake so she said well do you mind if i take it because i i could probably find out you know who who it belongs to he says please take it i don't know who was in my car this morning i have no way of knowing and she took the gemara home and she brought it to her husband rabdavid on the shalom and she said to him you know this is a maserati of vamos are they learning yavamas in mir maybe somebody from mir was in the cab this morning he said no we haven't learned your vomits in years there it's not can't be here so she asked him if he would call some of the yeshivas around brooklyn and find out maybe somebody's learning to vomit and then we could go there and bring the gemara and uh find it but they were learning bubble calm about mancilla whatever but nobody was learning to vomit so they decided okay they have to hold on to it there was no name in it there was no sim on him a few months later double trance is learning in the shiva and mir and a guy a mathematician who we knew comes in he says tim david you know i have time in the afternoon i'd like to make a seder with somebody you have anybody here who would like to make a seda with a bala bus in the afternoon he says you have grounded there's another guy who came in a couple days ago and uh he's a ball of us he also you know would like to learn in the afternoon come let's go you know let me introduce you tim and as they're walking he goes over he says to the guy who he's walking with he says by the way what do you want to learn he says well i'd love to learn your promise so he says well do you have a gomorrah you promised he said you're not going to believe this a couple months ago we were moving and i i i i had to go to my new house with a taxi and i had this most gorgeous gamora vomits and i left it in the taxi and as only dover train can do he started doing a dance in the middle of shiva and he hugged his guy and he kissed him and this guy doesn't know what in the world he's doing he's like what's going on he says i got your gomorrah and of course the guy before he even opened the commanding promise he got his back he's got his gemara back now listen to this you won't believe this you know in negotial in baltimore there was a tremendous sadika about david chrome glass secretary lebron for 25 years his daughter is robertson isbe who doesn't live far from here so rob david chrome glass was in near israel and there was a principal who told me this story his name was rabbi yes woke wolk and one day he knew that rabb david crone glass had learned in mir in europe and was a close talmud of rabbi rouham and he said to him do you by any chance have the das of uh would i be able to borrow it for a day yeah so rob david kroenger says to him yeah i have one but i have tremendous sentimental connection to it so please be very careful with it she says oh really why why is it so special i know was your rebbe safer you know you ready wrote it he said i'll tell you what happened he said after the war when the nazis were defeated american officials went around to where all the nazis were storing stuff and they had stored many many swarm and many yiddish books and the american officials brought it to america and they started sending the swarm to various yeshivas and rabbi walk says i remember when when heim berlin got a whole box of these savannah and saw the sperm that came from europe and he was crying he couldn't believe that they had been saved he said but then they sent swarm to nay israel because that was a big uh a bigger shiva and rafamin was the one of course he was a rosh yeshiva so he had this big carton of swarm that was sent to him and he called him abduvet krongles and he said listen i came to america in 1931 before the war but you went through the war you learned in mir you suffered everything so any safer that you want in this carton take it it's yours you deserve it because you went through the war i didn't surah surrounded said okay fine let me see what's in there and he opens up and the first safer he opens up is and he could not believe it his rebbe is safer and he just kissed it he couldn't believe that his ready saver that had been printed just a few months before the war and then he opened it up and he almost collapsed he opened it up and he saw his name with his handwriting it was his safer that had come back to baltimore now could you orchestrate anything like that only hashem could orchestrate something like that that's what a moon is all about when you hear stories like that just absolutely incredible now i know it's late and there's some guys here to david myers i just want to end just with this thing we'll skip the review tonight and i just want to end just with this great word for rap moisture an adorable story and it'll put us all in a great mood and then we'll see how we can all do chuba in this past week's passion pasha's mates it says that when the soldiers came back from fighting against midyoung he was going to teach them how to be toevale the caleb and how to be martial the caleb that were tommy because the owned them all these vessels and all the caleb and then the process says this is the decree the torah that they should create uh commanded moshe surah moshe s and doris moisha and pasha's mates you could look it up what's this when you say this is like a law you know that's uh applicable to everybody and everything but what's it got to do with over here you know you're talking about kasha and caleb zakhter hey look at moisha there's a great lesson here that no matter what impurity is in your heart it can be purged it can be tabled it can be brought out that every person should know they can always do chuva no matter how far they are because that's where just like the caleb can be brought out either through fire or through the water however they got the tumor you get it out that's nice don't ever ever give up don't let the aids of her tell you that you're too far gone there's no such thing every kaylee can be made can be tabled and brought back and every year can be brought back so i want to tell you a great story this story was told to me by my dear friend robert levine he told that rosh hashanah in detroit many years ago well haskell levenstein was once in a taxi and there was a secular israeli driver let's call him hagie and um so khaki so he saw that this is a holy looking jew say decide he's going to tell my story he said rob i got to tell you a story he says you know i was in the israeli army and my friends after we finished a tour of duty so we went to south africa we went to africa you know on safari or whatever and the whole guys a whole bunch of guys went and they told us it was safe you know we would have no problem we could go out in the forest he said one afternoon one of my friends went out just to investigate a little bit all of a sudden we hear him yelling and screaming and we all ran taught him and we see that a big ball constrictor that's a huge snake wrapped itself around him and was crushing him and he was screaming he was gonna get crushed to death and we started throwing rocks at that ball constrictor and we took branches from trees and we hit it and nothing helped the guy was going to die so some one of the soldiers said see my israel say my israel and the guy started yelling and just as he said that the ball constrictor loosened his grip and he slithered off the guy and he just walked away the snake and this guy was saved he was on the verge of death surabhatzko asked hagi he said so what happened to the guy he said what happened the next day he put on trillion he started becoming and today he's learning torah and his children our religious and his wife is religious so rabbi said but what about you i said rebbe the snake wasn't wrapped around me right what kind of turrets is that of course that's what the ate sahara tells you didn't affect me right the guy saw an open miracle and it changed the guy who would happen to but the guy saw the miracle he should have changed but you know something in covid none of us can say it didn't affect us it affected every single one of us financially emotionally socially every way no yid was not affected by covet in some way or another we can't say the snake wasn't wrapped around us hashem we're here to talk about it and you know something we've got to do chuba and this is the final project that we're going to mention tonight and peter kufi test pasek paiva tells us every mitzvah that you do that shows yamuna bashem you put on sitters because you believe in god you put on twilling you eat kosherous you darwin whatever you do you're doing it only because of our kurdish and that's men and women all of us who have been affected the snake was wrapped around us and we got away with it hashem we're all here to talk about it but let's remember we're being tested we tested in the good times tested in the difficult times that's what it says my dear friend jacob solomon once told me he brought his son avi to raf palm zakatarika right before abhis bar mitzvah and rafam saw that the twirling bag said avraham sv so he said to the little boy who was getting bar mitzvah do you know what v stands for he said sadiq i don't know how many people here are named sweet but sadiq and you know what occurs to me here's the show is called the er tatsui that's and let's make sure that we elevate ourselves in such a beautiful way that debris will get rid of all of kovid all around the world we'll get back to normal and next year together with meshiach we'll do this in binaneoma thank you for inviting me and thank you for listening you don't want to hear more about this uh sponsoring the
