He want to see the ladies by mistake in the corner of his eye. >> Yeah, good. Okay. So, good is good. Shabas is a very special shabas. First of all, the as it's known passed away famous story told about him. What? >> Yeah. Yeah. There was a story once in the middle of the night. Somebody who had some kind of issue with something he may have said. There was something that he did and they threw a stone on his window. Middle of the night busted his window. 3:00 in the morning gets on the phone. He finds in the rolodex I guess or in the phone book the number of a glazier in Borak calls the guy and picks up the phone 3:00 in the morning and the guy got scared 3:00 in the morning says the guy thought he was he was joking I hung up the phone he calls back and he says hello fixing the window. The guy didn't know for sure for sure. For real. Not for real. He came down to the house and he saw Tak somebody busted the window. So what was the emergency? Why in the middle of the night? Because he knew that if he'll wait until the morning and the will see what happened. >> It's going to be a major fire. So he wanted it to be fixed in the middle of the night. Nobody should know what happened. After he passed away, the guy told the story. >> Huh? Yeah. He told him that. Don't tell anyone. Of course. >> Tolden, don't tell anyhand. Meny. Mandy. Mandy, you're good. >> Oh, fresh. >> So, we know that the nine days is a very very serious time. >> The three weeks in general is a serious time. I would had this today by so the rebal once, but it's to talk about it again. In the three weeks it's brought down the mission during the day for a half hour. He lived with brought down and he would sit down also during the day of just like and sat on the floor and cried. He didn't say I don't know what he said but he sat and cried. And it says approximately a half hour. So approximately a half hour meant that it was a quarter to 12 by him a half hours either from 12 to 6 from 6 to 12. But if he started before so he waited till he started and went to the half and then he continued to it was three 3/4 of an hour. We know tells us that because of sin tells the story of what's the story comes everybody knows the story but it's repeat because keep it in our in our subconscious and our conscience there was a ye who had a friend his name was Kamsa He threw a big party like we do with Seagate barbecue, but it was much more than that. It was the gunnock. He told his shamus, "Please do me a favor and go call my friend Kam. Invite him to the party." And he misunderstood what he said. There was another Eid who lived in the same town. His name was Baramsa. He was his enemy. He went invited the wrong guy by mistake. He invited Baransa. Baramson comes to the party and the Bima walks in and he sees his biggest enemy sitting there. He says, "You, what are you doing here? Get out of here." He said, "Please don't embarrass me. Don't embarrass me. Whatever I eat and drink, I'll pay you." He said, "Get out of here now." So he said to him, "I'll you know what? I'll pay you half of the whole party. 50% of the whole party. I'll pay everything." He says, "Get out of here now." So I'll pay you for the whole party. just don't embarrass me in front of everyone. He went over to him, grabbed him, threw him out. So the Gmorrah says that he was so upset that nobody stood up for him. They're obviously there as well. Nobody stood up for him. So he went ahead and he went to the to the Roman Empire who were the government who was in control of those days to the Roman Empire and he and he told them to the Sar and he told him uh the Jews revolted against you. He said what are you talking about? Said I'll prove it to you. says, "You know what? Take a take a Corbin, send it to your shalam and you'll see they're not going to be mak of the carbon." He said, "Why not?" He said, "I'm telling you there's a revolt against you." So what he did was he took the carbon and he made he made a a mum in the do. So by us it's considered the m by the So the didn't know about it. But he on the way on the way to he went to meet came to mdash and they didn't know what to do bring on the other hands the kids are to make a long story short and because of this story. So what's the tick for that? The tick for that is the opposite. That was he threw this guy out embarrassed him in front of everyone. So the ticket for that is so that's why these days there's a big Indian to be marudas and that's one of the reason why one of the reasons why we make sum on the nine days actually there's a minute they the makma to make every day but they don't eat meat because the so I heard a beautiful story from this big mashp generation. He told the story that on Gimmel Thomas this year passed away passed away Sunday. He was buried in Harum on Monday. His son got up to speak at the Levia and he told a story. He said 50 years ago he passed a guy the guy was 55 years old who passed away. So when he was a kid, five five years old, whatever it was, when he was a youngster, he went to a Ashkanazihiva. He was the only Spari at the time in those days. As far kid was a big no no. And he was bullied and bullied and bullied to the point where Mamish he couldn't take it and he couldn't concentrate on learning. He was mish and outcast. Kids bullied him physically, mentally destroyed this guy. After his bitzvah as a ber, he was still suffering. He was still suffering tremendously. He weighed he went he went to the tashb went to tash went to tashb and he poured his heart out. He told him the whole story. The touch is listen to what I have to say. I telling you, I promise you, you're going to be messed the whole sh You hear what I'm saying? You will be messed the entire sh. He stayed there for Shabas and at the tish. He said that made such a tremendous impact on him that he mameish sat down to learn. This guy was giving over online. He had tens of thousands of followers. Nobody even knew who he was. The name was Yava. I'm sorry. Oh, >> you're one of you're one of the bullies. >> No, >> I hope so. >> They bullied you also. So what is going >> standing shas? Yeah. >> So what's what's the point of the story? The point of the story is that because of the good word that the Tashi gave him, he gave him a smile and he gave him it changed his entire life. So in these days it's so important. You come to a place a stranger walks into he gave him make him feel good. You want a coffee downstairs we have coffee. It's so important. Somebody strange over here in our in our community. We see it all the time. Everybody that comes to our town knows the warmth. you you arrive the first Friday you get kgle from the neighbors etc etc but it's very important for all those who are watching wherever they may be it's important to be carvid no matter what no matter where no matter when whether you know him you don't know him whether you care for him whether you like his looks you don't like his looks >> always >> that's the biggest tick for biggest tick for the okay so I brought a very interesting different from different from different uh mid different sadikim and a lot of the pieces have to do with these days the days of of the nine days three weeks the first piece is from the priicodic was a very very tremendous genius at the age of seven he was Messiah Shas for the first time seven years old. He said that he remembers when he was two years old and he drank milk from his mother. He used to say when he was three years old he was able to d the entire ding from the was a story his uh he was playing the street one day his father was a big uh big lis his father was from and uh he came out to see what's going on with his with his with his suit and he sees a a a horse and buggy with a full load is flying towards the kid. The kid is in the middle of the road. He jumped out, he grabbed him away, saved his life, but he had a heart attack and a short while later he passed away. So he's he was living by an uncle and uh the uncle who was also in those days when somebody's how did you get it around? He was he was around from town to sell them like when he came at Mish one at a time to travel with this one one town to the other to sell and then finally he came back. So the uncle was on the road and they haven't heard from him in months. Nobody heard from him. They don't know if he was alive, not alive. This before they had cell phones and smartphones and whatnot. So sudle declined to sudle made alias and he saw that his uncle is in this in this town and they've accepted him as the ro of the town and he's on his way back. He'll be home in a few days. That's how powerful this kid was. So at the age of uh 15, he got married. At the age of 20, there was a whole m which is not important to to bring up to the table now. But he traveled around to all the Israel in his generation to get a heteronim. He was a coen and uh he wanted out for whatever reason. and all the Rabonim as soon as he started talking with them and learning they they all yeah sure let me sign except for three who didn't want to sign one of them was the one of them was the third one I don't remember who the third one was but at the age of uh and in his travels he bumped into the waska and he came into the on a Thursday to tell his story and the said of Shabas do me a favor stay here for Shabas we'll talk about it afterwards so that Shabas one of the of was an of the son of when he became his father to ka and sat for him but he was a goan and they became best And that job has changed his life. He became a to the point where he said that everything that I learned until now I want to forget because now the is completely different to so let's see why was ranked in this week's par. So this shot all those all those who are pursuing cloud to do evil to them they reached them. So in these days which are called this is a perfect time for a person who wants to connect to now is the time Trump is in the white house and you want to have an appointment makes you have to wait for the longest time you have to have procedures and you can't get in to see him when he's traveling Everybody can run over and say what they want. Can't get that close because they have security. But you can scream out and say what you want and he'll respond. Is called every. So therefore this this particular this called it famous every generation was not rebuilt in his times that's if it was destroyed in our generation it's very hard to Understand so many. So you want to tell me that their generations. How could it be? Wisconsin. So every generation it accumulates all the mitzvah and all the good things that they do and accumulates. Can we even think for a moment and contemplate and think for a second us our generation? It's okay. Never too late. Can we think for a second that our generation us [Music] so it's impossible or maybe every generation brings a little and a little and little little and our generation that things are so dark and we do a little thing which is That's going to be the final step, the final nail that'll bring bring us base back to Mikdash. Oh, >> Mandy. Mandy, what happened? >> Okay, we got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Mandy, are we okay? >> Okay. Who's called is maybe So every generation accumulates and it brings together brings building constantly building more and more and more and more like we build a a building start from the bottom and build up and up and up. Every generation doesn't chip in with the to build a part of his days, his time, his generation, every person, any every individual, everything that he does and every individual, every single upon himself Everyone helps out to build back the temple oft He was from the in 1498 this week's paren in root in us that we should have the foundation the amuna the roots of the although we're going to go many generations we have we all know how many Tors we went through Holocaust inquisitions we went through so many Toras throughout the generations so people who give up so the is to strengthen the weak hands it's only for us to no one to believe that Hashem will take us out of here finally. After we went through the difficult times, he sent us because you know just like over there there was a and they were not worthy of it but Hashem took him out. The more Tors went through and the more stops we made in the say just like in the times of Hashem showed us. So also in our generation we're going to be see that that's going to blow away everyone. We start we started seeing things happening lately. Hashem is showing he's moving. He's moving in the the chest on the chestboard said on the different show. How can you say that those generations that we have to have tremendous tremendous? [Music] So how can they say that It's for our benefit. The fact that Hashem considers every generation that didn't have as if it was says there's a famous famous capital. It says said now what came into and destroyed it says mism is something something good happens you say something bad happens why we say what's the what's the great joy rejoice Instead of destroying us, he destroyed a bin of stones and bricks and mortar. We were saved because he would have not destroyed the would have destroyed us. would destroy us completely. We don't have gets upset at us. There's no mdash. So what what's the what's the exchange? We don't have so we're in danger. That's so we are saved because the consu as if that leap. >> That leap >> eyes cold. >> So beginning of par m talks about in of first makes a He shouldn't make his words. Somebody doesn't waste his words. He doesn't talk. He doesn't talk. By the way, it's known says that a person has a certain amount of words in his lifetime. So if you use it up, they run out of battery finished. So we have to watch what we say. >> What singers do? >> Who singing? >> First of all, singing is kadusha. >> If it's not, then they should shouldn't be listening. So a person who watches his mouth and doesn't talk doesn't talk doesn't talk whatever he says Hashem does that's why we saw byes he didn't waste his words on anything else but and giving so whatever he said happened whatever he said I remember a story my client he learned with aid who was used to be our landlord big was and name was follow was a big he with him and uh unfortunately the seed had a terrible terrible tragedy He had a benzukunim and Benzakuni lived in sheep bay near the belt and one day took his been he was a little kid he took him up to the roof he abused him and threw him off the roof and killed him and he got so sick from it the mi gota and his his life was was hanged on here. So one day we're sitting in the by the reb and my brother-in-law came running in that uh the doctor say is the told everyone to take a tim started saying and everything turned over turned around. So we see that a person has called he can change it. He can sway it from just how does your side this week it says somebody is humble who doesn't hold himself for anything famous famous famous famous zoreshav somebody who's small he's really big mandav I Somebody kills himself. Person has to be humble for his whole life. The more a person realizes how great the is, the more humble he becomes. Everything. That's the way. That's the the paved way. A person who's humble, he gets he gets everything. Just like Hashem created before there was a world. There was nothing. There was only it's considered it's the we because you really wouldn't look at it. We are we just The whole life is called created the world. He created the world because that's what he wanted. So the people who also considered them iron look how they are nothing like said and said is even less but the fact that a person holds himself humble as So we know that the iron go everyone has the muzzle but the who's the he's our musch that was he spoke to the to the leaders of all they should be be humble with everyone you see even if you embarrass them you say the wrong thing to them they'll never respond who is humble humble remember Theb's her last 10 years of her life she was she was sometimes the middle of Friday night she started screaming at him ash the veins he started laughing always always smiled never responded that's a sadic a saddak knows he's going it's only a test everything that happens his life is only a test. So if it's a test like the story of the Rakiva the Mor says the story that his boat his boat capsized and and uh later on they found them on the so they asked him how did you how did you how did you survive said I called Gal Vagal and they every wave that came I bent I bent over and that's how I came back he found one plank and he hung on to it that's called galval that happens in life you go under especially at home when the Wife sometimes goes crazy. The wife sometimes loses it. Yeah. Gal and they said, "Men, you should learn because you soon you get married. We're waiting to dance at your wedding." the says you're created against your will. I once heard from from we learning and he said on this Mishna says yeah you're created against your will. You live against your will. You die against your will and against your will you're going to have to give. So he asked if everything's against your will. What's the everything is everything's against my will. I was forced. Nobody asked me. You don't want to die. You want to stay here. Ah, if that's the case with great that he has upon us. We know when we say you see constantly people who say So when we say is guaranteed will answer. So even if a person doesn't famous story promised us so people the comes every time after say is you have an opportunity to say you have opportunity to say so the comes in every day and says, "Is God?" Tell me from the back. He's always scream out. We're going to say is going to answer one of the no matter what the person is, no matter how Hashem will give us, he'll answer our praise, our prayers just like he promised us. So from now on when you come to after don't scream out he's got very interesting very interesting why is it bringing at the end. Everything's okay. If somebody refrains from doing he can go up to just like you. Incredible. What does he do? So he gets such a Oh, he becomes a So what happened over here they they uh the ones who won the war from from uh from these going these low lives they they took down they took the jewelry off the mid and they brought but the way they did it he's going to say how he did So how did all this went to war with? So how do you go over and you take and you take the jewelry? How do you take it off the face with and other stuff. See them who went to war and they were to the degree of to the highest degree. There was we should remember that because of so we can all become together invited >> but we have to learn your father learns you should know time all you know he don't have time all his life he had a he had a suitcase ready to go to Duan [Music] >> famous story that suv always had always had a suitcase ready to run to shalim >> so there was one of shabas one of shabas his son was supposed to come for shabas man he's not here much later he's not And they didn't know what happened to him. And suddenly probably had he walked who knows how how many miles how many kilome and he arrived. So they came to tell him as do and when they told him as do he thought mashia and they told him son he passed out fainted. Imamish fainted. He was sure there was mashia. They're going to tell us are you sure? Did check CNN fake news? Yeah. [Music] They stopped here and then they stopped from here to the next one. The next one, the next one. says, "I created this guy. I created this. But you should know that I also created the medicine to keep him at bay." Antibiotic for the slept on the famous, huh? >> Yeah. New song. But if a person does not learn a person who doesn't learn there's no way if you don't take the medicine there's no way to conquer the impossible says I created him I know exactly what he is capable he's a malik you're avoid >> monster >> but the only a monster he's terrible he's mess messes with That's all of us all the time. >> But the only way >> the only way to survive this guy is by toilet. >> Yeah. He's the antibiotic. >> Antidote and antibiotics because we're all diseased. Well, the minute a person comes out of this world for you know also mention like we told a few weeks ago said that it's not so he said They're with me every single step of the way. They they left that place. I know just like has many many kernels. So also when a person reaches that that is we have straight Like if we play Monopoly, go straight to jail. Sometimes the least man they have a if you know everything in life the matonas that we get from if we realize and recognize that's all from him then it has a it talks about as we want to stay we want to stay there and the whole deal they made a deal they said we're going to go in front of everybody But eventually we want this because they said they had they had many sheep and they had was very green pasture on that side. They wanted to stay there. So the is that no matter what a person has you know this from he created the world No matter what he gives us, if we know it's from and we live that way that every moment and every second that he gives us, of course, every breath we take, but everything that we have, all our possessions, a person has a family, family from Disha. You have a car, it's from Dishtra. You have from whatever we have from a very interesting concept. We have to ask for every single day. That person could be a millionaire. He could be a multi-millionaire. No matter how much you have, you be a billionaire, you still have to ask Hashem for even if you're not missing anything. We don't get we have everything still we have to the connection to the if you don't ask him for for the for the or wherever it may be you forget that it's all from him but if a person is missing something so now you ask is because that's a selfish thing of course you go tell the is like like and the whole way going up to there have people collecting money person said to me I don't have food for my family for shabas so a person like that who ask from because he needs it for himself but a person who ask from he have everything in life and he still ask to show that I I know this from him every day three times a The point the point is [Music] you should know that everything's from him. And this way you're not disconnected. Which is himself. because everything's from the although that was theem told them it's going to be theirs many times he used to give Thursday night >> union city >> union I was there several times. I mean the sh of him I was there once of him but they divine his his the shish by the by the of was heartwrenching let's learn is getting it's getting late a little more peace and we'll leave the rest for next time. used to tell the Reb, "Yes, now you got to do this. Now you got to do that." Obviously the Reb was not a big Reb, but the Gaba was was leading. That's that's that's what we look like in today's generation. We don't come to learn how to serve Hashem. You want to know what's Hello. You busy with that? That's where you go to find out. That's nonsense. That's where you go tob. It's like the son of Somebody comes to inquire. such foolish things that people ask like somebody asked this week. Somebody asked my friend from Montreal who was by me when I came first said somebody called this week to ask him by the by the three weeks when used to sit during the day also they light candles then hello that's what you care that's what you're interested if you lit candles gobb is to teach them how to serve. That's the only way that Yiddish will have a a
