Purim - Obligation of the Yachid to Save the Kahal - Part 2

How are you to everybody those who are so far away after all I mean it was I mean it was such a large way I mean it doesn't matter it doesn't mean that it's of reach every every country within the great empire of of of it reach certain provinces but in certain provinces The Jews didn't know anything about about this whole I mean event. I mean it was that I mean they couldn't broadcast that they sent them to him. How far did they go? How I mean there a certain a certain radius problem within a certain radius but more media is actually a word the letter the edict has not I mean was not proclaimed and the Jews lived in safety and in security and suddenly they get a letter from Morai to celebrate celebrate war. The Jews were saved. We were saved. They were the papers, no radio, no correspondence from me. We were saved. The Jews are mean within certain radish. So why should we celebrate? Why should we be involved? I mean so is distant. I mean very distant countries. It is solidarity. You might have not been exposed to danger. I don't know. But solidarity is is something very important among Jews. And then accepted accepted immediately. Now so this was all it's very interesting to me that accepted those those how we I mean the generation I mean this this episode so to say that they have not accept they did not accept pulling from succeeding generations. So the live event but one generation only but not as a permanent holiday as a part of Jewish calendar forever. Then he said there was a second face to it. This is this is I was like that the first phase put was celebrated spontaneous. ly spontaneously it was celebrated just voluntarily spontaneously it was not standardized pur was not fixed there was no law no religious legisl legislation was passed in order to to introduce observance of pim as mandatory this was only pro insisted that all the Jews should celebrate poem regardless whether were exposed were briefing. I mean they were involved or they were not involved because they have the element of solidarity and and the awareness of a common destiny. This is number two but only for one generation. Then later they accept it not only for one generation for the generation which survived which I mean live through the events but alum it's very interesting. This is very interesting. What do you call the Russians? Those who will join them. Of course, I mean Gary Gary is supposed to fulfill all mitzvah. Why? I mean why why this is very interesting that what we think of Gim you see G to us a G doesn't mean just one who joined our faith. You cannot join our faith unless you join our history. Our history. You cannot join our faith unless you join the fold our people. Unless you participate in the destiny of the Jew. There is no G. Just g to in order to be mit is not enough. I tell me a brother even though Rian is a stranger racial is alien to us his parents once said we're not involved but once he joins us he's a part of our history he calls us home I told you once and and he's involved in our not only in the present but in the past as well that's I want you to understand why was so prominently actually puring take took up a prominent place a prominent position within our calendar. Uh we hardly say about any other holiday. The last the last the last and I would like I would like to ask you one just one favor. You should not tr bother me with questions because I don't understand the Rambam. So but however matter of fact I did not intend to to betray the secret and to show you the raam but it's still it's quite characteristic no questions but no questions accepted no questions answered we just read it and translate it and that's all the prophets All the books are the last one who will be suspended or cancelled or nullified phrase in the times of the Messiah with the exception of will like the pentatuk. And like the laws of our own transmission which will never be suspended the remembrance the memory of all the disasters for which the Jews live through all the disasters will be forgotten. All the catastrophes will be forgotten to erase the memory. I mean the all disasters have been forgotten. They are hidden from my eyes. Bottle will not be suspended. Very strange. Very strange. And it's incomprehensible. We don't know what it means. the army and argue with him. But why is purim does pur occupy such a central position in why a disaster could have happened? A disaster could have and disaster was of major proportions because don't forget the Persian Empire apparently the Jewish community almost the total Jewish community who lived within I mean the Persian Empire and if Hmon's intention had been implemented that's what we the whole Jewish community might have been exterminated physically exterminated exactly what Hitler wanted to do hit succeeded exterminate for one if if he had succeeded would have exterminated than the Jewish community in its entirety. I mean because the the Persian Empire that I mean the near east actually I mean encompass the entire Jewish community. Yes, most probably. But still it is basically we spoke last week about migila that it's called the incla and Esther insisted we have we have interpreted the last parester insisted that the gar raised to a leftist to the leftist status safe I being a part of the canon of the kites. She demanded that the Miguel Festa be not just a historical document just an event recorded record. I mean even even though it is true and and the story corresponds I mean I mean I mean contains I mean the fact to I mean the events which transpired. But he wanted the migr to be raised to the status of to be endowed with and request was granted by another we explain we explain it and the means it's a part of it it is invested with in the same manner as endowed with this with sanctuary and I told you that time if it's a book if it's in agaras it's a historical document there is no need to derive moral lessons from historical document even though basically history is a good teacher and one can derive moral lessons from any historical event if you study history it's not just you study the past but you study certain patterns you study certain rules certain guidelines which may actually I mean may help you be very prove to be very helpful I mean I mean in the future I mean All right. But whatever whatever but history basically is a record of events. The very moment the gar was raised. So the status of a safe of a book. What's the difference between a book and aaras? I said last time the garas means temporary transitory. You get a letter you read a letter. You tear up the letter and you throw the letter into the waste basket. You don't need a letter. The letter which has permanent value. A book. A good book is a classic. A classic persist endures I mean forever. This this actually the nature of the class. I mean the very moment I mean the ancestor was raised that he said hello and declared part and powerful how the how the canon it has become a book and a book already you study book a book is a source of knowledge this is our concept of it's a source of knowledge. So he said what can we what more lessons can we derive from? So you realize that that the individual must sacrifice himself for the community. Even though I mean in the story of and today again we have we try to analyze I mean the responsibility of the individual and the humility the individual should feel even though he has been chosen by the b to be the representative of the Jews and to defend the Jews. He should be humble and not think that he's the only one who can save them and so forth. night of and then the common destiny that even the queen can exempt herself from the destiny I mean from the universal destiny of the Jewish people and so forth of course and there is many more lessons to be derived however but there is something else to be derived from migill if migill is a savior it's not only means historical document the very moment he say it's already symbolic. It's not only historical document about a certain event. It carries symbolic significance for the future as well. As we say, my symbol what is the symbolic content of Miguel is this the most important. The symbolic content of mikester is what the balab say and this is the most beautiful the most beautiful interpretation of mitzvah mitz I said I said last Saturday night and I repeat it again I heard it from my father name of my grandfather that basically does not refer anymore to a race to people because we have no racist anymore. The rumble about says they disappear and apparently persist still endures a hand on the we read it on poem there is a hand on on the divine throne war God is engaged in war against mater forever and ever where's a mo God is is engag Each new wall he's a Malik. A Malik was a small tribe. His vicious tribe was probably a vicious tribe. The Bin tribe probably vicious tribe is you used to infiltrate Israel used to make graves and villages and the border villages like the al fat makes on the border kibut. We used to kill women that's what we may get. coming from the from from the you see a warrior tribe of warriors probably very brave and so forth is now you should never forget is more than a tribe it's more than a racial group which already has been I mean which is ext extinct Can you point out now? So they say that is any nation, any group, any nation, any group of people which has made up its mind to exterminate the Jewish people either spiritually or physically. that group is we assign to that group the term and the status of the Nazis no doubt about it certain groups within the Arab I wouldn't say I'm but certain groups certainly come under this category because my father used to again if a people write on it banner Let us exterminate them and being a nation and the name of Israel should not be mentioned anymore should not be pronounced anymore. this this group such a group whether it's a communist group or a Nazi group or a fascist group doesn't matter or a Muslim group gets the status of a Malik and this is true and from time to time unfortunately we encounter such groups we've encountered nothing was a surprise terrible surprise to Jewish people the emancipated Jew was a surprise a surprise a stunning surprise to the German Jews. Believe me, a stunning surprise. It was a stunning surprise to the civilized world, the West Jew. But we met with them. We had a confrontation with them. Very unfortunate confrontation. We've lost one fa and the best fa of our people. But but it hasn't. We thought at 1945 with the destruction of garden and all this, it's a goodbye to Malik. A monik is not eternal. A monik a monik is just a temporal phenomenon. It was something anomalous in human history that a Hitler could exist and a Hitler could preach hatred and bigotry and murder and clatched and extermination, genocide and so forth. We made a mistake 20 years after we have now such voices. We we hear from from the near east what is final speech. Shine in Mecca just two days ago. It's an speech. We proclaim the jihad, the the holy war. The Jews have desecrated the Muslim shrines in. It's not true. It's false. It's only start with the disseminating I mean false rumors about the Jews. And I am I am I am I'm sorry to say I'm afraid that certain groups within the communist empire are very close to the armic ideology. It's not physical extermination. It is spiritual extermination cereal is not to be explained in terms of real politic. We are all making a mistake and the government needs to make a mistake. If they explain the Russian policy a policy of complete annihilation of the medina never mind what they say officially you don't want that I mean we the downfall of of the state of Islam. German say they are liars but but the policy is not to be explained and not to be understood in terms of real politic making trouble for American in getting basis in the east it's by far more than real politics it's based on hatred and hate hate I don't know in my opinion perhaps it's an opinion of a of an old perhaps is not sophisticated enough but in my opinion is simply A power which ideologically is rooted in atheism must hate the Jewish people who have given to the world the word of God. Basically we are the apostles of God. We are the people of God. We are the people of the Bible. There are people say and a movement which was born I mean born and conceived real than atheism and atheism is not just a an auxiliary idea it's not just an auxiliary idea a secondary idea it's the very focus of communism you know that well such a movement must hate the Jewish people and such a movement cannot tolerate I mean the rise of the Jew in this the emergence of the Jew in the historical arena this is my interpretation perhaps it's wrong I wish it should be wrong anyway inde that's why also you see migilas per se if you read his story and Hazal has supplemented very well this story don't forget that Kazal lived in Persia later hundreds of years later but he knew the climate that's Hazal supplemented this story and they lad this story with wonderful details but basically the Jews enjoyed in Persia a status of equality in in Nigila tells us I don't know how got the number but tells us that to the celebration the great celebration which was staged by in the third year of is ascending the throne. 12,000 prominent Jews were invited. We enjoy freedom in America, but they've never heard that the president in Washington should invite 12,000 Jews to reception in Washington. 12,000 have participated in the festival and were invited by his royal by his majesty. So it means they enjoyed full equality. The death process that Esther remained queen after her race was discovered on the end that she was that after everybody knew I mean that the queen is a Jew and Mai was appointed prime minister and no one complained about no one complain. So it mean they enjoyed freedom, they enjoyed equality. Now how is it possible that within one day the status should be changed and Roman should prevail to issue an edict of extermination in a country where the Jews enjoyed freedom. Apparently it is possible. I don't know how it was exactly what happened in Germany. exactly what what happens I mean what happened to Russia communist movement I mean actually the the fathers of the communist movement were Jews those who were responsible for the revolution with the exception of Lenin were Jews I mean comm the great minds of communism were Jews the great minds the theoreticians of communism were Jews I'm not speaking about KL Mars no more but but I'm speaking about the Russian communist those communists the so-called I mean those who were responsible for the revolution in 1918 were Jews I mean none of them we don't know what they do well I mean all Jews I mean actually the ideology was formulated by Jews and how such a movement can now incorporate can somehow integrate in it anti-semitism in its ideology is beyond me I can't understand it but it's a fact it's a fact I mean in evidence If you accumulate evidence, I mean you begin matter of fact, a matter of fact I couple of years ago I also you say ah this is nothing this is just and I was opposed to all the anti-Russian demonstrations and so forth but now the more I read and the more Russian papers I come across I mean you don't read Russian papers but I do read the Russian papers I mean the material they print now the the the funnies and the caricatures we published are reminiscent of the and the angl of Germany of the Nazi period of the Nazi era I happen to be in Germany so I know I mean I can compare and he gave how is it possible I don't know how is it possible for him to persuade was democratic king a liberal king how could he persuade him this is this is a paradox in our history but there are something else which I want to The say that basically can be found in every one of us. In every man. There is an amali in every man. There is instinctual natural evil in every man. Whatever it is in there is an amali in every man. They call it amalaki. They call it teo. There is an elemented certain instinct of destructiveness of hatred, of envy, of of simply of of of mer of of of merciousness in everyone. Call it a call call it whatever you want, but there isn't. Basically man has actually beautifully I mean I man actually there is always a struggle between the inalik in him there's always a struggle they are lacked in comfort no man can be sure about himself Not only I cannot be sure by someone else but I cannot be sure about myself. And from time to time I mean from time to time the amali somehow emerges in every man and wakes up somehow and every man can become dangerous can become very aggressive can become actually a personification of you himself. That's the one. And basically the terror of the say the purpose of the terror and the purpose of many laws is simply to destroy a malik to exterminate gradually a Malik that Malik would who dwells or abides within me. Who is within me? There are satanic forces in man and there are divine force in man. Man is both Satan and an angel. And said is referring not only to some to some tribe but means to the mo within the human being himself. human beings and this exactly and interpret the migillian symbols that actually in this session that actually it was a struggle between this is between the satanic forces in man and the and the divine image. Sometimes it emerges into the historical arena but every man should actually look out for his own for for his own Satan and that's why innat between between man and Satan will probably end in the victory of This according it's not only it has penetrated into as well. I mean as a world I mean of course it's historical document. It's a get as a safer it has a certain symbolism it's symbolic as far as our history is concerned. It history the surprises we are confronted with unexpectedly. We suddenly see a change in attitude to others and and and hatred which is not wanted. hatred which is cannot be explained and also the individual I mean problem I mean of every one of us when he faces problems uh which will determine I mean is actually future course or future life whether it will be related to or to this is all of them all of them all of In in the world in man there is no need. This is the main difference between jihadus the media and western civilization. We really jihadist has never rejected I mean human conquest or the human greatness to I mean and the human ability I mean to conquer the environment. Yus is in this regard I mean so progressive that no other religion can can simply can catch up with with yus medicine it's a very strange thing all religions have problems with medicine all problems god makes you sick what do you have a man to to heal but apply a cure to cure the sick to employ I mean certain means I mean to restore your health. Brother, Christian science hasn't come the problem yet. It's a fact. It is it is I mean it's a fact in Christianity in American fact not a fact somewhere somewhere in the Oh yeah which rejects medicine and the problem is if you are sick so it's the will of God. So let God make you well. What does men have to interuse for not being it's duty and God himself is called a no problem says whoever whoever takes See and then consult the doctor and the shad is a matter commit suicide. We certainly believe and we certainly accept statistics that man should control the environment and should gain control over certain insensate certain mechanical forces in order to promote his physical welfare. There is no doubt about it. The is outspoken. However, and the created men told them they sure conquer the land. You conquer nature. How can you conquer nature? Bying nature's secret. How can you use drugs? Through the scientific method, you you simply you steal the secrets from nature. And by knowing her secrets, you control nature and sometimes you work against her because then she becomes malicious and vicious. However, but there is as far as this is this is concerned westernization go hand in hand. There is no discrepancy. But as far as man is concerned the words of man and his role you jihadus and western civilization part company western civilization basically is optimistic about men very optimistic. Western civilization thinks that man if left alone will finally become not only powerful being is not enough who come also a good kind being an ethical being a moral being. He is somehow the same. It is to some extent true. He has also accept it. There is something in man. No doubt about it. There is something there is some secret man or there is some secret secret power a man which drives him a man to be good. Amen. And to be noble. There is something which redeems man within man which is utilize utilize may redeem and purge him cleans him and that's on and this basis all the natural systems of ethics and morality are rest you leave man will take care of himself he does not need divine guidance this is What western civilization said, secular solution, evil jihadist comes in and says no matter how powerful man is and no matter how intelligent he is, there is a Satan in man. You can never be sure. The Satan is also intelligent, also powerful. You can never be sure who will win the battle the Satan or the angel. You can never be sure. There are really the source of Satan. There is a Satan in him. There is malice in man. There is viciousness in man. There is evil in man. Man cannot be left alone. Man will never become become I mean person. A great moral personality if left alone. Man needs divine guidance don't rely on his own know and his own moral law. If there is no faith in God, man will be able to fly. Yes, to fly to the moon, but he won't be able to to live in peace with his next door neighbor. Don't believe me. Yahi had very strange thought very high on the other hand also had an opinion of a very pessimistic opinion that man is a beast as well. And here is a
