If you want to be in it, we'll we'll
work it out.
>> Last week was a little bit edgy.
>> We on?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Good evening everyone. Shishi has
told us
so we have mama we had a nace we had a n
right here now
okay I'm ahead of my times
um we had a nace right now there was a
uh were raided by a yeshiva from
somewhere basuda from Williamsburg I
think and uh they were having a see him
and a party and music and stuff and They
almost moved our location to a different
place and mame that they checked out in
few minutes and they cleaned up the
place so we can have the shashem
today.
Tonight is I'm still saying I didn't
yet. I had this being by the
and I saw there who knew the Reb back in
the from uh they lived they lived in
Minkach used to travel a lot to the Reb.
I think I I I told the story once but uh
I will repeat the story again because
it's Kadai.
So he was marrying off his youngest
child. He was living here in America. He
was marrying of his youngest child and
he went to the with his and
they finished they completed the entire
and he said he took out an invitation
put it on and he said Reb
I would like to invite you to the to I
would like you to my daughter and please
show me a sign that you're coming
and Um
I think the wedding was Thursday night
and the the day before the wedding he
gets a phone call from a a woman who
grew up with him back in Minkach and she
says to Malib is his name
I had a very weird dream I have to tell
you okay what did you dream so she tells
him that she had a dream that she was by
his his daughter's wedding which wasn't
yet I was at your daughter's and I see
the rebas here. I said, "What's the Reb
doing here? Rebush in Ghana. What what's
the Reb doing here?" And I'm looking I'm
looking and I'm wondering what's what's
going on and the rebition.
He finished the hooper and he left and I
chased him. I said, "Where are you
going?" And the Reb said to me, "I only
came for the I have to go." And she woke
up.
So he wanted a sign that the Reb is
coming to the
>> He got a very very clear sign.
Yeah. He had a crazy story. his His
brother told me his brother Mik remember
we had it we had an officer here the red
beard
>> huh
>> whon
yeah this is his uncle
>> what
>> this guy is his is Rutner's uncle
>> uncle
>> so his his uncle someone got a haircut
Hey.
>> So his um his brother Mil told me story
that when back back in the
they went they had to go to public
school. It was in was in communism. They
had no choice. There was no they went to
they had private under underground.
So he went he went to the Gisha school
and there was a there that was
bullying him all the time. Bullying and
bullying didn't stop. He was cursing him
and embarrassing him. So one of his
trips he came to Reb and says Reb, which
is a trip of 12 hour, 13 hour trip. So
he said, "Reb
a kid in my school, a
is bullying me the whole time. I can't
get rid of him." So the Reb said, "Come
in. Come here." He took out three
different swur and he said you see the
three different shamus
shamus you'll have in mind these shamus
and you'll get rid of the So he
says, "Reb," he was 11 years old. He
says, "I don't know, Shyamus. You think
about the shyus, I'm going back home." I
went back home the next morning in in in
school. He said there was a big
commotion.
My nephew
said there was a big commotion in
school. I said, "Everybody's
coughing all gathered in one place." And
he said, "What's going on?" So he got
closer and he said this the she was
rid of him climbed up an electric pole
he was electrocuted and got killed on
the spot.
Okay. So let's go let's go down to to
so this week I'm bringing something
different not from but it's from
Bai he lived in the I wrote down the
years of his kufa was like almost almost
a thousand years ago 900 some odd years
ago he was born at 1050 and passed away
in 1120.
The reason I'm um I'm bringing this to
the crystal is very very interesting but
you know and every every
more or less there's certain that they
learn constantly
in G where I grew up before I checked
out they they used to learn raan
that was medish medish ra was because
every piece
starts off with with the medish but
and and was was the favorites for him.
So here we go
state
was governing
right across from his wife because she
was on a
First it should have said because she
was in
the says says heaven
because she was in a so
that's where he went to D that's you
normally have the the problem and they
go for it
to
you'll be able to repeat it to He's
going to say, "Wow."
So the reason why he first
spoke about the and then he said what
the problem was
because he wanted to mention first the
most the the important thing of the
story.
It's not they didn't because she was not
a but she wasn't a because Hashem wanted
her to being
the thing is the reason why she
and the the
is already secondary know the reason she
was think Hashem wanted her to d and
that's why she was in
She wasn't. She went to
Shem
wanted them to
which is the most important thing is
because Hashem wanted them to die.
Why were the
[clears throat]
from here we learn that is so powerful
changes the nature of the world because
in essence they were auroras they could
never have children
but Hashem created a situation that we
should know that even if If it the
nature of a person is
whether it's a chorus or a person
doesn't have masle or whatever it may be
you can change everything even
[clears throat]
points out a very interesting a very
interesting point.
Why does it say why
is a weird lotion?
A pitchfork. You know what a pitchfork
is? When you work in the field, hey, you
want to flip over the uh Yeah.
Just like the pitchfork.
If you have a pile of hay and you want
to move it to one place to the other,
you take the pitchfork and you move it.
That even if it's a person,
you can turn it over.
When you take a pitchfork, you put it on
the bottom and you flip everything over.
So you take it from the bottom and the
bottom becomes the top.
He climbs up to the
and through that he's brings down the
hash from above to to down to this this
we see another place where also
And the
the smoke of the went up and that's what
he talks about over there.
You should know
all three of our
and this
continues also also the
>> why did get a free
>> what
>> why did Leia get a free pass
crying the whole life.
>> Wow. She was crying for something else.
>> She was crying the whole life.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Right.
>> But she had the same thing with her.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
>> She she saw the she's going to fall of
the older one for the older one, you
know.
>> So, uh she was crying her whole life and
that's why she had the swollen eyes.
Yeah.
of the children.
Yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
So, we see a very interesting thing. We
know she was carrying twins and the
twins were fighting. They were bickering
inside. I once heard a beautiful V. It
says that uh Rashi brings medish that
when she passed through
says was jumping he wanted to get out
wanted to jump out.
So we know
tells us that that a a child before it's
born sits and learns to with a malik
learning toy the whole time. That's why
when they come out to this world they
start crying because I what this is what
you brought me to.
So the kasha is why did yak run out?
What's the what's the he's learning with
the malik? What's better than a malik?
So I said
[laughter]
I don't want to I don't want to be in
the same class with him.
[laughter]
He wanted the
>> what?
>> He wanted the
>> Okay.
This carrying of of these children was
very different than all other
situations.
It's not the nature of twins to to
bicker around before they're born. It's
not it's not the
I have grandchildren twins. They're
they're like one
they do everything together. They they
just did the DNA testing. They're 99.8%
>> identical.
>> So twins don't they don't fight
normally.
pain from the fact that they were
bickering and fighting around the side
and the fact that they were fighting
already in their mother's womb.
their entire life, as long as they're in
this world, Jacob and are going to be
fighting
that we know. Yeah. But we see it now
more than ever before in our lifetime
that the go hate us. They want to kill
us.
Two different nations.
Don't don't worry. Don't be don't don't
be scared about the fact that you're
having turmoil inside.
Two nations who always be constantly one
against the other.
What's his game?
mean everyone had had a certain
had a certain gay
as says talk about it. Yeah.
The is that these are seasonal products.
So normally like watermelon can't find
watermelon now unless it's growing
somewhere in South America. But here in
America, you don't find watermelon.
Also, these products was a seasonal
thing. But they were so rich and they
always had felt
he picked up 10 fingers and he said
picked up 10 fingers said I didn't enjoy
this world even for my pinky.
He did not enjoy this world.
He whatever he ate was what he needed to
sustain his life.
But all the goodies
for the
people who came to the guests,
they had all the goodies.
He was a very big king and he was from
the children of
he came he used to come to learn to with
he was always worried
he didn't want anybody to find out that
he's learning to
just learned it last last last month
right
>> learn here let's see if you remember the
He had a tunnel like they have in in
Gaza.
>> They have tunnels from one end of Gaza
to the other
on the ground. He had a tunnel, an
underground tunnel.
He had a tunnel from his house to Reb's
house. And every day he came to
underground.
He brought along two servants, two of
his slaves.
overb before he walked into the Reb's
house, he killed one of them.
When he came back home, he killed the
other one that nobody should know that
he went to
more
than
>> that is not a problem. He was the king.
He could do whatever he wants
to kill to kill one of his servants. Big
deal.
He said, you know how many people they
in Gaza how many people they kill of
their own every single day.
[clears throat and cough]
He said,
"When I come to learn with you,
I don't want to find anybody there.
Please, I'm coming. This is discreet.
Nobody knows about this. I don't want
anybody there."
One day he walks into Rebba to learn.
He finds
who came to learn with Reb. He says,
"Hello, what's this guy doing here?
>> I thought we had a deal.
Didn't tell you didn't tell you. I don't
want anybody see anybody here."
Said, "Don't worry about him.
This guy's a he's not going to tell
anybody. Don't worry about it."
So Anton wasn't happy with that answer.
He said to him, "If that's the case,
go back out.
Go from here. Leave. And on your way
out,
the guy who's sleeping outside the door.
There's a guy outside sleeping. Wake him
up and tell him to come in." The coal
said he should get up and come in. The
guy was dead. He killed the guy. Yeah.
They said, "There's a guy sleeping
outside the door.
Tell him to come in.
He found this guy's dead."
Says, "What am I supposed to do?
Send back. Tell them there's a guy who's
dead outside.
You can't say back a bad a bad. It's not
not proper.
I'll just leave. Leave him. Leave the
guy the dead there and just go home.
You can't you can't can't do that. So
what did he do?
He was
sent him back inside.
He said your boss is calling you
problem.
>> Yeah.
He says
I know
even the smallest of your
not a problem. I know I know that
but
I'm asking you please next time I come
ask I don't want to find anybody here.
>> We made a deal. I don't want anybody
here.
Zuck the medish writer and he's bringing
the medish called Y every single day
when they came to Reb
he became his gaba. So this king he was
a big king he became
his way was his
he brought him food
he brought him drinks
whenever wanted to go on to his bed
obviously his reb was not well and he it
was hard for him to crawl up to his bed
so he bent down
>> yeah it became his uh
>> his step stool he said step on me and go
onto the bed
He bent down underneath his bed.
Step on me and go onto your bed.
Said, "No, no, no." Said, "No,
I can't be I can't embarrass your
[clears throat] do you
should be a carpet under your feet."
So,
I'm not going to come. I'm
learn the fact that you were humble.
You're going to have
said
the says there's not going to be
anything left over from from the
children of
So, how's how can you tell me that I'm
going to have
that? Oh, that's only
if you act like an asov,
>> then you're not going to have anything.
But if you're not going to act like an
as you have a chance, you're going to be
they're going to have a downfall. All of
their kings and their
some of them, not all of them.
Assurus. Yeah.
>> These two go also all the
>> fascinating story. Yeah.
So, we just learned it,
>> but I figured it's
>> I don't remember the story.
>> Bash. He was a peace advocate of peace.
>> Huh?
>> This is what
you know.
Very interesting.
Yakov,
why did Yakov have to get
in a sneaky way with Gabl and Tatan?
Know the story. You learned from this
week. Yeah. So when when heard that
Yakov wants to bench As he said no
wanted to bench Asov so she called Yakov
her favorite son he said no he's worthy
of the As she she knew very well there's
a lot of why why he favored Asov one of
the most one of the most profound that I
once heard because was gur
he knew that he's bad but he has such a
co to bear of him even though he's bad
he figured he'll bear of him eventually
he'll he'll change
to do that when a person knows that his
son is
so ask why did it have to come
and why did Hashem agreed to it got
to really acquire.
You can do it through.
If you're looking for the em you can do
it through
when it comes to you can do it with with
trickery.
If you have real,
you can do it even with with a trick.
If you want to come to it's not
considered lie because you're
[clears throat] looking for the emis. So
even if you do something with a twist,
that's the tick for the sheay.
The Gmorrah says if a person says
I know I'm doing a but I'll do chuv
afterwards
problem I'll do chuv
speaking
so if a person says I'm I'm I'm
intentionally going to do a I'll do chuv
afterwards
says no no no doesn't work that way why
if you're going to do because you know
we can do So you're sinning because
so the is the cause for so therefore
it's not doesn't work.
So the same thing applies also the other
way the opposite way like we're talking
now
if a person does a bluff because he
wants to come to
You know this world is called
Anybody that has a little bit on his
head. You take a look at what's going on
in the world. See, it's all bluff
because this called. So the tick formed
is for they use the sheer to bring out.
>> I didn't
says takes a job and he changes the
price.
Okay.
>> He agreed.
>> Yeah. Very good. Very good comparison.
And if a person has the real inside his
heart, he has em
the whole pack of lies like this world
is full full of lies. But if he really
looking for them is in his heart, he'll
overcome everything.
I once saw a very very interesting
insight. Why is she in line? How do you
spell sheer? It's freezing here. See,
now just notice the window's open.
Do you mind closing the window?
>> Back one also. I guess they the
>> Oh, you open it because of the smell
here. Okay.
>> Thank you.
That's it's going to warm us up. Okay.
Usually toy warms us up.
>> Like we say that a a a spark of light
can chase away heap of darkness. If you
take you go into a pitch black room and
you light a small match, suddenly the
whole room becomes illuminated.
Same thing as over here. If we're living
in a world of sheer, so the only thing
that chases away the shea is the
bislamus.
How do you write a shin? Shin has a
point on the bottom. Doesn't have a foot
to stand on. A kof has a long a long
point on the bottom. Can't stand on
itself. And the r also the shaker end of
the line doesn't have that foot to stand
on.
>> Huh?
>> Yeah. Yeah.
I once I told him the other day um he he
made it seem made made it seem he was
save
>> so um
we're talking about the letter letter
alf
is the sadic called saddic why is it
called saddic because it carries on his
back carries implies is sadic
the the alf also has eid on his
But his has either on the bottom. He
steps on him.
>> He step on him.
There are certain that a person has the
choice. He can make a choice.
You can do good things with your hand.
Do bad things with your hand. You hit
somebody.
You can do good things.
And is the same thing. You can run to do
good things and you can run
do bad things.
Also the eye is the same thing. A person
can have a good eye to see good things
by everyone to see only good. To look
into a person use the eyes for bad
things
to see things he's not supposed to see.
>> Huh? Yeah.
Or you can have walk through corn's
bakery in M smells delicious
and o person can hear and a person can
hear.
So there are that are
but if a person really wants and he asks
Hashem that even these are not
Hashem helps him and it becomes
so if a person wants to have watch his
mouth and his ears and his eyes and
Hashem helps him they shouldn't see
anything bad they shouldn't hear
anything bad shouldn't speak anything
bad
they want everything they want they want
to sin
And a person who really wants to to be
in control of all this and he asks
Hashem for it. Hashem helps him
the embassies that everything is the he
created us. He created us with I saw and
found a fascinating thing today.
Somebody sent me a Inro they just
created a cornea of eye artificial
and they installed it into a human
being.
>> Fascinating
what he brought to Muslim
he can be.
planted in everyone these
these kaleim and if a person really
wants to he can turn everything over and
Hashem will give you control
on all these
it's in your you have the ability to
bring them all to Kadusha.
So we see a fascinating thing here. What
happened when when he realized that it's
when Asa walked in after Yakov after he
gave all the to
what did he say?
because he realized if that's
what hem wanted
that's why I said
he realized that that's from Hashem he
was so
so bottled to the all this confirmed
so although
for a second but I said no no no
that's what Hashem wanted that's the way
it should
because he had such a he was so vital
himself to the
he
so he was not to say something that
hashem doesn't want him to say and
therefore if he benched
that's why created us in this world in
the shikra
And he gave us free choice. We have a
choice. We have choice to choose the
right thing.
Which is in a person that's
gave us gave us as we say every morning
that you gave me.
So the human being just like a person
that wears clothing it's a clothing to
his body. So also the body is a clothing
to the nish is the
when a person passes away after 120 what
happens
the the body remains the same nothing
changed but the nishama went up. So the
nish is the that's the kadusha and the
the body is only clothing to the nish.
So when actually when you're talking to
a person you're talking to this nish
there's a facade which is called goof
but that's not the real thing the real
thing is
the tless of a person in this world is
the
he smelled his
which is the is the
bench
the last Mishna in the
is
the only vessel that contains
if Hashem gives somebody braha and you
want to make sure that the braha stays
the only the main ingredient
peace
because the body and the
are constantly fighting but the
so there's only one everything becomes
one that's shalom
because without this fact
a person has all kinds of differentness
and we should also
person wants a certain thing. is the
opposite
only
want has one that's
everything in this world there is what
what does Hashem want and if a person
thinks that way in everything he does in
life that's peace he makes peace with
himself makes peace with his
and eventually
He overpowers
the another piece of he elaborates on
this on this.
He really wanted to bench as he thought
that as deserving of the he figured that
he'll give him theem
didn't let him do that.
But who how did that happen?
He was ready to be he was ready
because he was neph to that point. So he
became became a new person. He had no
because wanted to be only in. And we
know we say every day
fulfills the ro of thee.
So that was his ro. Hashem said no
problem. You got it.
Every single human being every single
one of us.
If a person
says I really want to do your I want to
learn. I want to do mitzvah. I want to
be overpower my
person. Every person had the ability to
get to that level.
So it could be that that's why the whole
of God was
So why did it have to go such? Why
couldn't you just bench him?
Any human being who benches his son,
even the biggest sadic in the world,
every father loves their child
unconditional.
So a male if you're giving to your son
to your child it's because it's for
yourself because you love your son. So
giving you for yourself
it shouldn't be with his personal agenda
his personal
only
the way Hashem wanted him to get the
said wanted to get the only canal
So although the fact was that
was distant from the
he wanted him to
somewhere along the line he'll catch on
if he'll get it.
It's going to work
is not a fool. You know very very well
that that the yank
and
he's a a hunter. He goes out to
he thought
he thought he'll eventually be able to
make out of him. [clears throat]
But that's the Jacob got. We spoke about
this a couple of weeks ago that um that
if if if
Jacob would have gotten the alac
so we wouldn't behave like Jacob
>> wouldn't be deserving of be over but
being we got the
>> can't get worse. So, so even if Eid goes
down to the the lowest level, he still
can still be considered aided and
it's for the future generations to us
that we are so far from from the from
the real the real deal.
That's what said
he took my took my he took even
the he got as belonged to as she get
not Jacob didn't need it for himself
because Jacob was a sad but he needed it
for us
3,000 years later 4,000 years later
almost whatever for us. We have
not up the power
for us generations.
He doesn't need all these because he was
at
what time is it?
>> 9:30
>> 9:25
>> 9
>> Huh?
>> 9:29
Okay.
Food.
>> It's food.
>> That's That's m Okay.
>> So, whoever really wants to, there's a
lot of good stuff here. You take it home
and study it.
