today Sunday afternoon four oh four pm
yud aleph Nissen Tufts in paid 11th day
of missin 5 780 April 5 2020 just a few
days before the arrival of an historic
and unprecedented Pesach Pesach Tufts in
pay 5 780 in which we will practice for
the first time in more than in first
time in 3332 years what might Shiva
Boehner told the Jewish people at the
first pay side of history
we're a family sate so easily passes by
say at the Baker don't leave the door of
your home until morning moisture told
the Jews that the night of pace of they
have to stay home and they have to stay
every family together quarantined in
their home eating their matzah and their
mother and their carbon paste sucks
together as a family
there now letter leave their home and
join another home and join another
family and join a community Sagan and
join a public say there no they have to
stay home alone
quarantine then the next day they
experience it's yes but Shyam and I
don't think of 3332 years that happened
yes Jews 8 the current pace up in their
group you didn't go to another group but
the admonition of leaving your home and
being quarantined this is something
unique to this pace set so we're doing
the first half of the Mitzvah let's hope
and pray that we experience the second
half and that is that as morning comes
it's not just a morning of a new day and
the morning of a new era and a morning
of a new season of healing but also a
morning of gula a morning of redemption
just like the morning of that first
pacer
3332 years ago when we were in mitzrayim
children I am so happy that you're here
with me today and with us all of us we
just finished an hour and
program in Yiddish we had just from one
than 2,100 children joined us just from
London and all other parts of the world
Israel in America other parts of Europe

five seven seven seven four seven four
seven and blima there on the screen we
will scroll your name so we are going to
get right now to questions and answers
that's what we're gonna do I'm going to
start off right now and we're going to
do 13 minutes 13 minutes of questions
and answers I'm going to give every
question a very limited amount of time
because hundreds and hundreds of
questions came in from you dear children
and I want to get to them so that's why
if you need more elaboration please
email me rabbi why why at the yeshiva
dotnet rabbi why why at the yeshiva
dotnet if you're not satisfied with the
answer because I really feel the need
that we should move along so therefore
with your permission I'm gonna do this
very very very fast okay let's go to
questions so many questions came in and
you can text your questions eight four
five seven seven seven forty seven forty
seven question number one how can we
feel this upcoming Pesach has been a
haven and as being as Monty was saying
when we were locked up at a home it
actually feels like the opposite we're
subjugated were enslaved what's a good
tip to help us see it in the right
perspective
excellent question excellent
this question is asked by the Maharal of
Prague the morale says how can Jews
celebrate to say there during times and
golus when they were enslaved they were
not free
can they experience freedom and he
explains that freedom doesn't always
depend depends on your physical
circumstances freedom is a state of the
mind it's an attitude so I could be free
to travel the whole world but inside I'm
a slave and I could be in a home in a
difficult situation but inside I'm free
it oh it's all about perspective of
course it's nice to be able to run
around and travel and I know it's a hard
time for all of us but it's about
perspective when you realize that you
are an ambassador of RM in this world
and therefore you are a free soul
nothing inhibits you and wherever you
are you were placed there on a mission
to bring light into that place that's
how you develop a perspective of freedom
how will I know that mashiac is here oh
don't worry about it first of all it's
gonna go out and all the whatsapp's
immediately and even if you don't have
what's up don't worry about it when
Messiah comes we will all know that
Messiah comes I guess the best way
you're going to know is the world will
feel as it really is one one with us M
did the Sultan make the virus to get us
to stop learning tyre and doing mitzvahs
or is it a Shem that made the
coronavirus the answer is the Sultan has
no kayak there's only one master and
creator in the world who orchestrates
everything in the world from the biggest
to the smallest detail and that is
Hashem our people not doing beer how
much this year and they're not doing a
fire Sarla
12 years old Flatbush previous question
was Hamill at 10 years old and well you
have to find out from health
professionals if there is any danger in
going outside and making the fire then
you should not do it you can throw the
Comets out into the garbage
as long as it's taken away before pacer
ever faced us that should be taken away
before midday you can even flush down
comets in the toilet if you're allowed
to make a fire in the area that's great
but if not there's other ways that you
could perfectly dispose of the Comets
and it's not a problem at all you throw
it into the garbage and the guard
just taken out of your property and your
good dove Adha Lavy Muncie how was rep
Mendel's I had to smell the ear of
mushiya Finn today and what can we do
that we should also be so - the smell
the ear of mushiya this is the quest
this is the story that I set two
programmes ago listen at Mendel Oh was a
very very big Sadiq and he was in touch
with his neshama but this is the point
that every one of us has an Hashanah and
every one of us could always connect
ourselves to the mushiya energy to the
gula energy and that is by me telling
myself that I am right now one with
Hashem and that's the truth and
therefore I'm invincible I'm
indestructible and I'm not gonna let the
8so heart make me believe that I'm a
loser and I'm disconnected and I'm weak
and I'm a victim and I'm incapable
that's a cover-up of who I really am Who
am I really am part of infinity I am the
light of our Shem in this world why do
we say next year in Jerusalem don't we
want mushiya this year great question we
mean mashiac should come right away so
for next pace us we will do the whole
say there in Yerushalayim can rabbi
Jacobsen mentioned the name Zion Geshem
and sorrow for Forsch leymah yes ahmein
why did the Russian Jew need two
witnesses that he was Jewish Miriam and
Kyla Klein this is the story that I told
them one of the children's programs you
could watch all the previous programs we
have already five in English and one in
you dish on the Shiva that net the
answer is because a lot of Jews who came
from Russia they maybe their father was
Jewish or they had a relative who was
Jewish but they were not fully fully
Jewish a logical is they wanted to
establish that they're Jewish I'm a
teenager I'm really enjoying these shows
I'm watching the live children's program
now I'm wondering if you could do
something for teens absolutely Harlem
Moyet pacer Monday night 10 o'clock p.m.
we're going to have this session for
teenagers teenagers not for children for
teenagers and you can ask all your
questions eight four five seven seven
seven forty seven forty seven that's
Monday night color Moyes pace at ten
o'clock p.m.
give us your email you can text us your
email and we will put you on the list so
you can get notices of all of our sheep
or them before they happen
[Music]
sometimes things are really painful it
seems insensitive to think what people
are going through is for the good how do
I find the balance between believing
that I Shem is good and he has a perfect
plan and being sensitive and being
sensitive to other people's pain we say
that I Sherman is always good and he has
a plan and everything is good but people
are suffering so much how do we balance
the tool it's an excellent excellent
question
and the answer is it's a balance but
both are true yes we believe that
everything is good we believe that
everything has purpose but in my
feelings it's very very painful it hurts
and both are true both are very true his
meaning and purpose in every event but
it may hurt so badly
you know I remember I once had my finger
by the door and a good friend of mine
slammed the door he just wanted to close
though he didn't realize my finger was
there and my finger got stuck oh you did
it hurt no he wasn't trying to hurt me
but it killed and if I would say oh it's
Bar soccer practice and it's wonderful
and it feels great and there's meaning
use meaning but it still hurts it still
kills and you have to respect that we
don't dance on Tisha but we don't say Oh
Tish above I shouldn't destroy them
based on Victor's it's good mushy who's
gonna come we should dance on tisha buff
no we're not at a dance on Tish above
now - SHhhh above is a day of a fast at
a Funeral we don't sing and dance at a
house I know we dance why yes it all
comes from Hashem and there's purpose
and there's meaning in this goodness but
it doesn't mean that there's no pain and
the fact that Hashem did this means
Hashem did something that's causing me
or causing us a lot a lot of pain and
that's also from our son and that OSA
has meaning and purpose in it so there's
no contradiction don't think that when
you're feeling pain and sadness it means
there's no emunah no part of that Mona
is that this sadness and this pain is
also something that Hashem orchestrated
and there's meaning in it I don't have
to run away from it this is a very very
important question yes there are greats
our victim who see everything as Hashem
and therefore there's no pain involved
but that's a very very special level
are you allowed to watch your sugar into
happening or a share there indefinitely
well when you davon you should davon I
mean if you're in the parts of da Vernon
we allow to make a have sick maybe you
could take a break but generally
speaking it's better when you're
diverting to divert but if it's parts of
darvany
like the beginning of nominee with the
end of Dominique we allowed to take a
break then if you need to you could
listen to the shape but remember most of
this year you can do a replay as well I
dive in for someone who passed away I
don't know her how will she thank me
when Messiah comes if we don't know each
other
Lakewood New Jersey well first of all
I'm not sure you need her to thank you
you davon and that's an amazing thing
but regardless if that's what you need
don't worry about it because every time
we dive in for somebody it has a
tremendous positive impact on their soul
even if we think our da Vernon was
ineffective they passed away you should
never think that way every da Vernon of
every person for anybody has a
tremendous impact sometimes on the
person down here and sometimes on the
soul of a person because a soul is
eternal how do we know that mushy is
gonna be really mushy when he comes
somebody will say mushy obtain but how
am I gonna know that it's him
Gedaliah eight years old beautiful
beautiful question to Dahlia the answer
to your question is if you'll take a
look you can ask you Tati to open up for
you a Rambam mission attire he'll sis
melaka the laws of Kings chapter 11 and
there the Rama gives us the criteria and
this seaman and assigns how we know that
Messiah is ma she beautiful beautiful
question thank you Wow such a such a
nice question I love your questions
Kendall Africa texture more eight four
five seven seven seven four tea 747 we
know mushy is coming why do people have
to die for him to come I don't know who
says they're dying from a shift to come
I don't know that anybody has to die for
mushy have to come every soul has its
journey and we don't know when a soul is
born and we don't know when a soul is
taken we don't know exactly why the soul
is taken why do girls have to say to hit
them when they don't under
stand it I think you should try to
understand it - he'll it will be so much
more meaningful today you have two limbs
and English translations and Yiddish
translations and more modern Hebrew
translations listen the power of tell
them is in the words of telling but if
you can understand that it's so much so
much more interesting and moving and
meaningful I say to hell him and I have
a translation orphan and it's so much
more meaningful yes try to understand it
- he'll I mean you know what when you're
in a painful situation there's nothing
like governor MELAS tehilim
because he is life was a challenging
life and he's really the voice of every
human being who's who's in a painful
situation or an enjoyer situation
there's a reason that the hilum has
sustained the Jewish people for so many
so many generations I've been asking
Hashem a lot for protection from the
virus
it gets me wondering why do we need
protection Hashem controls everything
asking are some the protectors from the
virus
sounds like the virus has a life of its
own and it decides what to do based on
its own nature and then we need
protection from the virus don't we
believe that our Shem runs the world
excellent excellent question the answer
to your question which I love is because
the nature of the world is also hushed
in it's not my cash M is in one place
and then nature is something else from
Hashem we have to choose between the two
no Hashem created and continues to
create nature so when the virus has a
particular nature to do something that
is a manifestation of how Hashem created
the world and when a Shem tells us don't
rely on miracles and I want you to
protect yourself naturally like I want
you to go to a doctor or I want you to
take vitamins or I want you to have a
good immune system or I want you to
exercise this is not a contradiction to
Hashem running the world on the contrary
this is because a sham created nature
and nature has a system and a sham wants
us to respect that system and work
within that system to observe the tire
to do the mitzvahs to protect our health
and to save lives and the two are never
mutually exclusive
just like when Esther had to go to
achieve a wish they asked him to nullify
the decree of hummin which happen
Pesach or right before Pesach she did
not say Oh a sham runs the world why am
I going to have a wish no because a
fresh radish was the king and I said
wanted he should be the king and Hashem
runs the world through kings of shams
ones runs the world through politics
through medicine through economics
through nature that's how our son runs
the world effect a hand in the glove
why does Hashem let non-jews hurt Jews
and blame the Jews and his anti-semitism
in the world question from a ten year
old this is a great great question I
will ask you you're intelligent to go to
the eve of that net and in the search
type in anti-semitism we have a few good
classes on it but just one point I'm
going to tell you is for life to be
meaningful Hashem gave people choice
we're not robots we're not zombies we
make choices and people have to make
choices and they could sometimes make
not good choices just like I could make
not good choices now the fact is that
the Jewish people represent holiness in
the world
they represent goodness in the world
they represent Hashem in the world and
people who are not ready to grow and
realize that life is about challenging
yourself of becoming a better person
they naturally and very often hate the
Jews because the Jews remind them of
something deeper and holier in the world
what do they say there's an expression
nobody likes their alarm clocks
you know nobody likes an alarm clock the
Jewish people were chosen to be the
alarm clock of the world and nobody
likes and not everybody likes it do the
white cells also protect us from the
eight Sahara based on last week's class
about the white cells yes the spiritual
white cells protect us from the eight
Sahara could you please give us the
address of the boy last week two
programs ago you said he's having a Bar

bar mitzvah boy who is an orphan and

Canella I'm seven years old how many
years ago that pacer happened three
thousand three hundred and thirty two
years ago in the year two four four
eight since creation now we're in the
year five seven eighty since creation
are we obligated to love every single
Jew even a Russia Wow great question the
magnet of ms rich told his holy student
have male ecologist in every domain of
the know Emily MELAS let me say it again
dish Harris mailers was Miss öktem
assisted at IKEA as obviously sir Leslie
bobbin I Russia Goomer Piazza de comer
Reb may left the maggot said do you hear
what I heard in the yeshiva of heaven
Alva C strong means to love a complete
Russia like you love a complete Tzadik
that's what the magician Maggie told her
never let male on behalf Tulare Africa
Martha there is showing him say the a
drummer says in Sanhedrin refers to
every single Jew every single Jew I have
to love the famous ROM McRib moisture
cordovero in a safer timer the voyage
chapter 2 says this as well you should
love every single Jew now sometimes as
I'll tell us you also have to hate
somebody because of a sin a terrible sin
he did but that's only if you know for
sure he did it willingly and he knew
exactly what he was doing and he was
malicious and you gave him ty sister you
spoke to him about it and he understood
what you said and he still doesn't want
to regret it and then you can hate him
but that's very very rare situations and
even then even then the Tonya says in
chapter 32 you still have to love him
because of the neshamah and the goodness
that's always in him how should I feel
about my birthday and not have anybody
buy my birthday party moysha
my said gran maestria gran it's key
turning eight years old on the 13th of
Nissen tuesday
the moisture we are celebrating right
now your birthday happy birthday to my
salon happy birthday to my summer happy
birthday dear seven-year-old becoming 8
year old mashallah yah in my lad there
some may have you know whose birthday
you're gonna be like you know who uses
birthday your birthday is gonna be like
guess ah da Mari sure who is there to
celebrate other Marion's birthday
the answer is Hashem and the mission of
thousands a son hadn't you know why our
son created one person in the beginning
the teachers that one person is the
whole world mashallah that's what you're
gonna remember at your birthday party
this time you don't need the whole world
at your birthday party you need you and
I sham because your value is like the
value of the whole world why do some
special people who died this time not
deserve to have a funeral a regular
funeral not deserve to have a regular
Tara regular cleansing the answer is we
don't know this
we don't know maybe their numbers don't
need it Hashem knows exactly what every
neshama needs remember that all of the 6
million Jews that who died in the
Holocaust were not buried
remember they were many of most of them
were cremated I once heard from the
lubavitcher rebbe whose birthday is
today at Aleph Nissen Mazel Tov I once
heard from the LaBarbera chair ever
myself that the Jews who died and were
killed in the Holocaust were like a
carbon Isla you know with the uniqueness
of a carbon I loved was the whole carbon
went up in a flame to Hashem usually
every carbon you put on them as bear fat
but the rest is taken off and eaten by
the Chi anima by the Jews of carbon
Allah everything went up Tasha MC said
those Jews their neshama and their
bodies were a carbon Allah fashion so
every union every life is unique every
life is different whatever in a shaman
needs in order for it to go to its place
it's getting don't don't worry about it
if the hwacha tells us that this is how
we do it in this situation this is
exactly what the neshamah needs and
remember that the main l'viyah is not
down here the main Levias and I love IMS
and trust me that a lot of these
greatness Lamas are having very big love
is very very big great souls are coming
to greet them
coming to greet them and it breaks our
heart but these souls are getting
exactly what they need to get to be able
to go back to their place in the times
of the base on victors did they dive in
or their work our bonus so they didn't
davon in the first base of Mick - there
was domine but everybody could just dive
in the way they wanted with their own
heart for a minute or for six hours
already in the beginning of the second
base I make there's two antique
necessarily instituted the text of
smiler Astra that they started to use
three times a day during the second base
on mikdash as the Rambam tells us in the
beginning of Hills Hoist Fela
why do we always hear bad news nobody is
telling us good news
the Eckstein family you're right you're
right I don't know bad news travels very
very fast we should be spreading much
more good news so spread the news that
we're here together this is good news we
are will serve we're trying to help in
the house but we don't have a lot to do
oh come to my house we also don't like
to learn and we don't like to help in
the house any solution be creative maybe
play musical chairs maybe musical chairs
maybe do a project maybe sing and dance
together maybe do exercise together I
have a great idea to do a workout
together maybe you can go outside
together if it's allowed by the health
professionals but try to be creative do
new things maybe make a concert maybe
make a play maybe draw a beautiful
painting maybe organize the pictures in
your house maybe we decorate your house
I don't know be creative for those who
eat good rocks on Pesach they eat it a
whole pacer those who don't eat the
Brooks have a minute eat in a
traditional pace of why if they're
afraid that the water is going to come
on the matzo and a part of the flower
was unbaked and it's gonna become from
it's why are they doing I'm a credential
pacer there is still a risk and you know
let each vomits I'm a tarantula pacer
lazy schneir halbridge Tom Chicago
wonderful question the answer is the
ballot Anja writes that because the last
day of Pesach is only rabbinic because
midday rice is only seven days so
therefore the
last day which is only rabbinic cause
biblically allowed comets so they
allowed you to add in the joy of young
tip and make made laugh and make matzo
brei and make a good kugel
to add to the simplest of another reason
that's given is that we wanted to
emphasize the unity of the Jewish people
and show that even the Jews who eat
abrupt we shouldn't god forbid think
that they're actually eating hummus so
in order to emphasize the unity of the
Jewish people that is so important that
we're ready to eat get buckets on the
last day of pay summer those have two
reasons there are other reasons what why
is it that on Shabbos we say over Shane
you stuff on on weekdays we only say
estaba and Shabbos we say over se estaba
excellent West Hartford Connecticut and
the answer is because every day your
Starbucks is not directly connected to
the previous statement the previous
statement we're singing what the Jews
did and sang when the c.split hashimites
of an answer all and then when we're
finished we say you stopped a simcha but
Shabbos right before you stop by we say
knishmas and we finish off uh chicane
I've asked all hired surah in La Jolla
in La Jolla Lucia by Allah for Allah how
about a flower little callous alcohol
divination is precision because that is
the duty of every single creature to
thank assembly say initial us a non of
my speaking soul right after this was a
over hey and thus and therefore
establish applaud mal que no cuz it's a
direct sequence and continuation to what
we were saying be for is it true that
machines will come it's gonna be too
late to do true though we can only do
children now listen you can do children
with machine comes but then it's gonna
be easy because godliness is gonna be
revealed now it's harder that's why it
says that what machine comes we're gonna
miss the days of godless because of this
special work and effort that it required
how do the white blood cells kill the
virus what do they have and the ants
aged six ask your mommy and maybe she
could show you one educational video to
explain it to you more will our house go
there to throw a machinist comes the
Gemara says in the sexist Magilla page
29 that all the shoals
outside of a register all are going to
be reestablished
in Yerushalayim connected to the base i
macness where mushiya's comes the marsh
explains it
is your house social today every house
is becoming a shul so I think all of our
homes will be transported and you could
still take your dolly and your bed give
your bed this was Richardson Texas the
hidings fells
why do we have to eat murder don't we
have enough bitterness my name is
minutia I'm ten years old who has to eat
murder great answer and the act great
question answer is you know the year
that they left Mitzrayim they also ate
murder why did they eat murder they were
in mitts rally and they suffered the
most why did they have to eat murder and
the answer is Hashem was telling them
that it's important to feel pain over
the Exile but it's important that that
pain doesn't take over your whole life
so he gave them a symbol and he said
here eat murder eat the bitterness
digest it cry it feel fill it but then
it's time to move on to the sandwich and
it's time to move on to life reclaiming
and the meal and the benching and so
forth so in life we eat more we respect
the pain we feel the pain the pain is
very very real but we don't allow our
sadness to take over our whole life that
we can't laugh anymore we can't enjoy
and we can't move on so that's why they
eat more and that's why we still eat
more let's go to the riddles my dearest

here we go I'm answering now I'm giving
answers to the riddles of last program
answer to riddle one by pacer I've
rambled Berkowitz the fact that I Shem
in this story seems to be on the wrong
side column shows us a lesson Hashem is
part of every story and every happening
in this world whether it looks good or
whether it looks bad whether it looks
right or whether it looks wrong as in
Habakkuk M has a reason and it's in
charge of everything
nothing happens without him even a
little story about a goat the inner EMS
said that the BA from are the high of
gear lever from Mordecai of guerre said
that we look at our history it looks
confusing and it doesn't make sense or
mushiya comes the mayor be Amanda we
will see that everything had a reason
Hashem has a plan and therefore we
cannot question him and that's why the
end of the table God D it seems like
Hashem is doing the wrong thing to teach
us to teach us that even when it looks
like the wrong thing Hashem is still
involved and part of gula is knowing
that even if we can't always understand
it Wow
Pesach Thank You pace-it and your name

viii Sahara let's hear a round of
applause for st Stern Zev Zukerman Zev
Ackerman even if the cat was guilty for
eating the goat the other nations the
dog doesn't have a right to eat the cat
so really they're all guilty the goat is
not guilty
the cat is guilty but the dog didn't eat
the cat because the door cares for the
Sheep the dog ate the cat because the
door is sometimes cruel nice I'm going
to work this young ets miss Ryan not

zabi a round of applause for zemi okay

ok the next answer for the riddle comes
with a story nebulous inane shits moves
to another town because he had a dispute
with Ruby Arkham Emden one date of
Uranus and over here is people debating
who's right so he asks them your
question of cab gadya
they didn't know an answer so he says
when the cat and the goat have a fight
what right does the dog have to mix in
and they all understood they should not
mix in the dog that has no right to mix
in and that's why the dog is guilty what
is my personal mitzrayim my everyday
habits and the fact that I have to be in
control I'm gonna try to overcome it I'm
gonna use current events as an example
to learn and improve I'm gonna realize
that my habits can be changed and most
important only Hashem is in control
great beautiful the cat and the goat
were fighting nobody told the dog to mix
in and because nobody told the dog to
mix in he is guilty and this thick as
innocence and the fire is guilty and the
water is innocent and acts as guilty in
the show so does innocent oh my office
is guilty and Hashem is innocent

ok great so now let's do our new
question and the new question is gonna
come with a story and the story I'll
tell you where the story comes from the
story comes from Reb Aaron Hyneman and
if Aaron Hyneman came from a city called
in Lithuania and he wrote memories
from his childhood and slow
and there he tells the following story
and I'm telling you the story that he
says it was once on the first day of
Pesach the RAAF's lutsk was a Jew named
abusive Dave Haleiwa salivate sick
he's known as the bass Haleiwa later he
became the Rev of brisk the robbed of
risk reversal of a trick known as the
bass la vie he was the father of the
famous rock I'm salivating of higher
brisket and it was the first day of
Pesach in slits grammarian hymen says we
finished Dominic Musa and I remembered
of Yasha barrel of H at the base a lady
went out of shul - Davin on his right
side was a wealthy Jew by the name of
Robin Youngman Abin and on his left side
was another affluent Jew by the name of
Zebulun Ostrovsky and the whole
community was following our rubbish
apostle of a chick and he had a Gaby an
assistant who was walking in front of
him also my Zeta and my father and me
were walking behind the rub of
Libya's reversal of a chick he was known
to have a very sharp eye and a very
sharp mind and as he was walking he saw
that there was a young girl who had a
kerchief on her head she was wrapped
with a kerchief and she was coming to it
towards him but then she went away and
then she came back and then she ran away
and he noticed that this young girl was
like very hesitant so he understood that
there's something happening here and he
asked his assistant as much Amish to go
to the girl and ask her if she needs
something she should please feel
comfortable to come over and indeed she
came over to the brisk to the love of
later the rub of brisk the base I'll
leave it up your Chabert and she says
you know I work in a house and the owner
of the house the lady who runs the house
dibala Tobias sent me to ask dear of
Libya Chabert soloveitchik a very
important question and the gab I brought
her over to where W Chabert and very
nicely he said my daughter my Takata
Deville stuff is fraggin my daughter do
you want to ask something and she says
yes this is what I want to ask yes your
ever the lady who is my boss who I work
for
told me that I should make
laughs apace on the first day of pacer I
guess they didn't have an issue there in
the literature community and so
they didn't have the Minich of gab
Rockets not to eat aprox
this is what they asked before and
Chicago Bob the Brooks sure she said I
should make connait law which means you
take matzah and you grind it into small
pieces so now you have like you know
matzo flour and you mix it you cook it
with water and you mix it with eggs and
you make balls you make matzo balls
right Kleber so she said I should make
an idler from three eggs that's what she
told me
I made the canal on with four eggs
that's what happened
so I'm asking a question so the beauty
vessel of a chick looks at her and says
daughter my daughter tell the person who
runs the house the ballast abayas
that you should not eat these canal are
today you should not eat these Canadian
tomorrow come to me again before the
meal cuz everybody was going home and
ask the question again and she said okay
thank you and she left and he said near
there if you're sure bread there were
two Jews Reb in Yemen and of Gatien were
very wealthy and hot sugar people and he
said that they started to laugh they had
to contain themselves from laughing what
type of weird question what a foolish
question rebel Abbas her ballast abayas
the woman in the house told it to make
tonight last from three eggs and she
made from four eggs so she decided to
come to ask a question and they rough
tells her she's not gonna eat it what is
going on what is happening here like
first of all white telling her not to
eat it second of all while you answering
this question and taking it seriously
this is what they asked of Yasser
veselov agent and I want you can the
last to figure out what the RUF was
thinking what the base lav was thinking
why he gave her this answer that today
they could not eat the kanay block and
they should come tomorrow why would he
do that
and why did he take her question
seriously what's wrong with using four
eggs instead of three eggs I
you to think what went through his mind

around him did not understand okay and

Oh Mazel Tov you're in good company we
had other birthdays today and I know
your Aleph initial is also the birthday
of the Lubavitcher ever of blessed
memory so my dearest friends I'm now
gonna share with you an amazing story
and this story is a very meaningful
story because it happened to me it
happened to me myself and I and I want
to share it with you story happened
quite a few years ago the year was tough
sin noon Zion that would be 1997 1997 so
this story happened 23 years ago I was a
yeshiva boy I was an older yeshiva
barker was a little while before I got
married and I was asked a few weeks
before Pesach
if I could go conduct a community say
there in the city of Kobe Japan that's
far away I grew up in Brooklyn New York
but I was asked to go do a seder in Kobe
Kobe has a Jewish community beautiful
beautiful show mama a gorgeous show but
they didn't have a rabbi I didn't have
anybody to run a say there for the
community so they asked for you Shiva
boys to come and help and I was given
the opportunity and I was actually
excited and I said yes
and I went with a friend of mine Rabbi
Moshe Lieberman who lives in
Massachusetts today in Newton
Massachusetts and we traveled together
we brought all the food that we needed
we brought matzo and we brought wine now
we brought Giardia filter fish and we
brought out a crucial piece of foods and
we bought equipment to be able to cash
her the kitchen in the shul and we spoke
to the president of the show they were
expecting I don't know 20 people 30
people 40 people we came a few days
before Pesach we can't show that
kitchen we got ready for pacer
everything was great and we promoted the
event how shocked were we when the night
of pacer at sunset close to 200 Jews
showed up in the shul of coab a for our
public seder now most of these Jews were
not religious they were not observant
Jews they were secular Jews some were
living in Japan for many years with all
types of jobs some were tourists
visiting Japan you know this is not
Lakewood there was not Bora Park it was
not Irish Ally Moore was not Muncie was
not neighboring a brac this was Kolb a
Jew Kobe Japan but it was an incredible
Seder we ran this a there we sank
together and we did the Haggadah and of
course we drank the four cups of wine
and we ate mats and we ate modern and we
ate Korea and kids ask the four
questions and I explained different
parts of the Haggadah
and it was really very moving and the
reason it was so moving is because here
were Jews who were very very far away
from Judaism and just to watch them eat
it up pun intended
eat it up some of them eat the matzah
little too early and the egg too early
and and other stuff too early because
they didn't realize how to say their
works it's a long say there were 15
steps so but to watch them eat it up pun
intended was really a fantastic and very
moving experience anyway it came we had
to get it we had to move because it was
a big oil um and you know and you got to
get it moving so we were going pretty
fast and there were also young children
in the crowd we didn't want them to fall
asleep it came to shul sonorous to the
meal and finally we could relax and sit
back just enjoy the fish and enjoy the
soup and enjoy the kitchen the kitchen
enjoy the chicken and the crowd was
sitting there and singing and enjoying
and schmoozing and I felt in my heart
that I have to give a message some very
special message because throughout the
throughout the say that I was just you
know moving it on and is giving little
insight but now I felt it's appropriate
to give a meaningful and inspiring
message to all of these Jews men and
women and children who were gathered in
coal Bay at the pace of the kassay there
and I'm asking myself what what would be
the right insight what would be the
right story and then a story came into
my mind it was a well known story and I
decided that this is the place and this
is a
to share the story so I stood up I said
good young to hack some a after
everybody I want to share with you a
story I said the story goes back to the
18th century to the city of Barda chav
in Ukraine the great rabbi and spiritual
leader and Hasidic master of partitive
was a Jew named the whole ear oblivious
to the copper ditches never the music of
my dishes one Pesach morning was Dominic
and you know the Seder of the Bard
achiever was something out of this world
well it's Ichabod ditches his love his
passion his authenticity is M as the
kite was incredible and the night of
pacer who was something special and he
was really feeling that the seder last
night was special but then he had this
feeling like this emotion almost like
this feeling from shamayim from heaven
that there was one Seder in bar dickship
that was much greater than his Seder you
know at the end of the say that we say
near son the last of what those near to
me neared sameen's
people often feel guilty at the end of
us say there was nothing it was stupid
it was boring there especially this year
right near its Amin's no it was great
there was awesome I Shem loved it so
they gave the bad achiever this message
from heaven that there was one Jew Seder
which was something special even greater
and the City of Livia took of my
dickship and this was to say there of
Myesha leather water carrier moisture
love the water carrier most surely used
to bring water he would go to the river
and the canal and he would draw draw
water and deliver it to the homes this
is before they had sinks in every single
home and faucets in every single home
and people would literally slap water
from the well and from the river and
bring it to townspeople to the people
and they would pay him a little money he
was very very poor mashallah mashallah
grew up as an orphan he didn't have
parents so you grew up in different
people's homes and they had a very hard
childhood
nobody ever managed to teach him Hebrew
he couldn't even read the a love base he
couldn't read through
forget understanding he couldn't even
read the letters and he couldn't
understand he couldn't read home as she
couldn't read mathias he certainly
couldn't read gomorrah shell hemara but
he was a good person and he was a
god-fearing person and he was a simple
simple Jew I believe he took up a ditch
of here's this he sends two of his
students to ask Mozilla to come to him
after Dominic knew they'd go and they
find my Sheila and they say that by
ditch of a Roth wants to see you he says
no no no no no no no I'm not going I'm
not going
he asked that you should please come to
see the Rev asked he has no choice and
begrudgingly he goes and when he comes
in the hillock about it she looks at him
and he says mashallah tell me about your
say there last night the moisture starts
crying and he says here ABBA
I'll never do it again I'll never do it
again I learned my lesson Depa the body
service says what did you do he says
don't make me say it
it was bad enough that I did it don't
make me say it
they took of my ditches in his warmth
and his love gives this Jew my Sheila
tender gaze and he says my Sheila don't
worry I'm not gonna scream at you I'm
not gonna chastise you just tell me
everything about you say the last night
and here my friends Kindle ah I told the
people in Japan I said here I have to
take a little break and tell you about
my shallow Marsh Allah was a good man
but he had one horrible horrible habit
one terrible thing that nobody should
ever do and that is he was an alcoholic
he used to drink a lot of alcohol a lot
of Marsh colicchio vodka he had a lot of
pain and the way he dealt with his pain
was he would drink and he would get like
tipsy that's how he dealt with it by him
was pour him a whole year he was a good
man he meant well but every few weeks he
was caught drinking and this was a
terrible habit he had and this is how he
ran away from all the pain in life
sometimes people don't know how to deal
with their pain in a healthy way
and they find distractions these are
called bad habits or addictions I can
run to alcohol I can run to websites
that can run to computer games I can run
to gambling I can run to cigarettes it's
all things that distract me and don't
want me to deal with my pain and
actually become a happier person so I
just run away and that year before paces
Mozilla was worried because pay sorry
another drink you know let a drink Marsh
gavotte the cabeza hits comets so what
am I gonna what is he gonna do and why
should decided that the night of
Dicker's comets the night before seder
he's gonna drink and drink and drink
enough for the whole eight days of pacer
and that's what he did he did a
particular comments he checked the
comments and then he started to drink
and he drank a drink and then before it
was the time the innominate comments he
said one last lehayim to himself
unfortunately and he gave the last drink
and he was out cold that's what happened
and he's telling this to the body shiver
he says I slept the whole day in the
evening my wife comes to my bed and says
mashallah mashallah it's candle lighting
time you have to go down with Minister
you have to go down and come by my
review tiff was so I'm gonna have this
Aden and I tell my wife I'm too drunk
wake me up in another hour I still can't
get it together
so she comes back in another hour in
another hour I'm snoring and sleeping
I'm having a hangover have a headache
and she says mashallah mashallah
they're already almost finished Domini
it's a time for Seder and I say I can't
get it together give me another hour she
comes back in another hour and she's
pleading with me and she says every home
and by ditch of has a seder shame on you
the only house that doesn't ever say
that the Kindle are waiting there set up
the table themselves and I'm thinking to
myself what a horrible person I am
what a horrible father what a horrible
husband what a terrible terrible thing
I've been doing just because I had a
hard life why am i depriving my pink to
my children what happened what happened
to me why am I
Pech awaiting this trauma and I feel so
bad then I say you know it could be
another half an hour and I promise I'll
get it together and I have for now or
later she comes back and she says the
kids are still gonna fall asleep if it's
not now it's never and I get out of bed
and I come to the table and I look at my
children and they're looking at me my
wife is sitting my children are sitting
we can hear the songs coming from the
different windows from the different
homes in bar dickship the Jews are
celebrating the pace of a sailor I
turned to my kinder luck and I say I had
a hard childhood and I have a terrible
habit that's inexcusable have no excuse
and if drinking like this can cause me
not to have a seder with my own children
it means I really got lost in life and I
am making a vow that I will never ever
ever ever touch an ounce of alcohol in
my life because I have lost control and
I have no control over my life and
that's it this habit is going to be
broken I am going cold turkey I will not
drink another drop of alcohol in my life
but Kindle ah I'm not a very good father
I'm not a very good husband I'm not a
very good Jew but it's pace at night and
you know I can't read the Haggadah I
don't know how to read Hebrew and I
don't understand everything about to say
that I don't even know exactly what to
do but let me tell you the story of
tonight the way I understand it and
Mozilla looks at his family and he says
tyanna Kindle laughs my dear children
Hashem created the world in six days and
on the sixth day he created other men
hava he told them not to eat from the
tree of knowledge but they ate from the
tree and since then everything went
downhill and then came of Rama and Sarah
and they began to fix the world and the
world again became the beautiful place
the godly place it was supposed to be
but then the Jew
ended up selling their brother and they
ended up in Egypt and when they ended up
in Egypt they were enslaved and they had
a terrible terrible exile but you know
what happened on this night of pace of
the creator of the world came and he
took every single drew who wanted to go
out he took him and her out of miss Ryan
and we gave us the trailer and we became
a nation and we became a people and we
started to fix the world again and every
time we davon and we give sadaqa and we
love somebody and we do something good
and kind and we do a mitzvah we learned
Tyra we fixed the world more and more
and he says kid Allah
we're now all we're also in gamez we're
also in golden bard achieve we're in
godless of the Ukraine but one thing I
know I Shem took us out of that goal is
from its rhyme he's gonna take us out of
this goalless and my Schiller starts
crying he looks at the budget Savannah
he says I turned to the Rebbe initial
element I said Hashem you took us out of
midst Ryan I'm asking you a favor do
it's a favor and take us out of this
goals once and for all so we should have
our own goal and a googler that's gonna
last forever
and I said Kindle ARS good the young pip
and I'm telling you we're Shem is gonna
take us out of this goal of speedily and
then I drank the wine I ate the matzah I
ate tomorrow
I ate the sandwich I ate the egg I drank
more wine and I fell asleep
motionless crying I'm never gonna do
this again
and suddenly he looks at the padishah
when the Medici was crying the way
through my ditch if turns to his
students and he says do you hear do you
hear I wish that during my life I should
be able once to communicate yiddish kite
to my children with the same sincerity
and honesty and authenticity and
truthfulness and Emmas like marshal of
the water carrier I wish I should be
able to give pacer Hashem my Munna be
talking player mitzvahs either session I
was a failure I was his load to my
children once in my lifetime as he did
last night I mean to say the students I
blessed that you should be able to speak
to your children this way from the depth
and the innocence of your hearts and he
looked at moistu alam he gave him a big
kiss and he said don't worry hashem
loved you say there nitsa was the most
beautiful beautiful beautiful seder in
the world yes stop drinking but your say
they have something special despite your
mistakes and despite your flaws just
your natural purity your real self your
heart ah it came out and God loved it
I'm watching the people in Japan who are
listening to the story I see some tears
in people's eyes but there's one woman a
young woman sitting right against me I'm
standing at the head table in the show
and she's all the way on the other side
sitting right parallel to me like this
and she's bawling she's weeping she's
weeping and honestly I thought that I
said something that was insulting
because I didn't understand why she's
bawling weeping I just told the story of
the repetitive maybe she had an
alcoholic problem maybe it had to do
with drinking maybe I said something
that was disrespectful to somebody I
didn't even know I thought maybe I have
to go apologize to her but I just saw
this woman who was bawling I didn't know
why I continued and I said my dearest
friends my dearest beloved friends here
in Kobe Japan I know that so many of you
felt
that this is not the real real say there
and I have to tell you I grew up in
Brooklyn and every year I did pacer in
my parents home at 5:08 Montgomery
Street in Brooklyn and we followed the
Haggadah meticulously step after step
with everything had an explanation and
an insight that we knew all the customs
and all the laws and all the rituals and
this year nothing like that happened you
date this before this and you ate this
is the wrong time and you drank this is
the wrong time and a lot of it you
didn't say you didn't understand but I
want to tell you I have a feeling then
in heaven this was most beautiful Seder
I have a feeling about Hashem this was
one of the most beloved this bar him in
the world you know why cuz it was so
honest it was so truthful it was so real
it was so authentic yes it didn't follow
the program but sometimes when you get
used to the program you're just like a
robot your heart is not there here your
heart was there
your presence were there you were
curious you were open you were you your
nashumba was here I'm just telling you
my feeling that I want to thank you for
the opportunity because this is a very
different say than when I grew up with
and I was having a little bit of a hard
time but then I remembered the story and
I said this is where it's at yes it's
great to have a combination of both but
you can't always have a combination of
both this is something so valuable and I
thank you for giving me the opportunity
to be able to experience a Seder like I
never did before something that reminded
me of my Sheila the water carriers Seder
in Bar dickship in the late 1700s of the
early 1800s and I said good young TIFF
and I sat down and when they say there
ended this woman who was sitting against
me and we pink walks over to me and she
sits down I was so curious to know why
she was crying so much why she was
sobbing and she shares with me the
following experience and I'm not gonna
give all the details there
but you're going to get the general
picture and she tells me that she grew
up in a Jewish home in New York a
secular home it was not a home that was
very Jewish they didn't practise a lot
of Judaism but it was a Jewish home at a
very young age because of different
reasons and circumstances she left New
York and she went very very far away and
she ended up in Japan for many many
years
remote from Judaism and the Jewish
people in a Jewish community and this
year she saw it advertised that is gonna
be a Seder in the Schulich obey but she
said to herself I haven't done a say
there in 20 years I'm not gonna change
it now what do I go to uh say therefore
I'm not really part of this I left it
years ago but she says a friend of mine
told me you know I want to go it seems
interesting come with me and she pushes
left me and she persuaded me to go and
that's where I came to the Seder did you
were nice you were good you were smart
you were wise you were funny I made a
lot of jokes I told a lot of stories but
I still didn't know why I was there I
didn't feel connected she said then you
got up and you told the story and I want
to tell you something I had an old
grandmother who lived with us in our
house and she did not know a lot but she
used to tell me constantly you should
know that you are the tenth generation
of one of the holiest Jews of his day
who my grandmother said his name was Reb
wavy it's Huck of Berdichev your mother
is ninth generation and your tenth
generation
I'm eighth generation you're a tenth
generation and I asked my grandmother
who is gonna believe me it's a good
prediction but you keep on talking about
she says I don't know but I know that he
was a very very holy man and he's your
grandfather and you're always connected
to him and remember his name that's what
I knew about my Jewish heritage she says
and tonight I come here and you share
the story about what I believe you'd
suck of my ditches said about this Jew I
don't know who you were talking to
besides me but I know my grandfather was
talking to me through you he was telling
me about me my journey and my connection
that is never interrupted and my
relationship that is never destroyed and
my flame that has never extinguished and
she said to me rabbi Jacobsen I want to
thank you for being the messenger of my
grandfather oblivion took of our ditches
to bring me back home now it was my turn
to shed a tear and I lifted up my eyes
and I thank Tosh em for the opportunity
to be in Japan that pacer I learned from
this so so much number one children
wherever you are you're on a mission and
you never know how you can change lives
yes even when you laughed up in your
home or when your remote in Kobe Japan I
learned from this that sometimes we
accomplish things that we never would
imagine we could accomplish as long as
you realize you're Ashley of a sham
you're a messenger of a sham miracles
happen through you and you could never
expect or anticipate I learned from this
that wherever you go you have to plant
seeds of love and goodness and kindness
and healing and redemption and trees
will grow beyond your knowledge
I also learned from this that a sham
puts us in the right place in the right
time to fulfill the mission we have to
fulfill each and every one of us nobody
is exempt from this and nobody is
excluded from this but I also learned
maybe the main lesson and that is a
seder doesn't have to look anyway to
make it special the most important thing
is that it's real
it's natural you just accept who you are
and you bring it all into the story it
doesn't have to look a certain way you
don't have to feel a certain way the
house doesn't have to be a certain way
yeah you got to get rid of the comments
but besides that we always think ours
Dharam have to be special and this year
it's gonna be a boring stupid lousy say
there there's no such a thing it's all
about your attitude just show up show up
with your soul show up with your natural
self with all of your emotions bring it
all to the table bring it all to the
story and how it develops it develops
it's fine don't get frustrated and I say
this also to the mothers and the fathers
cut yourself slack this year God wants
you to have a happy pizza a relaxed
pacer a liberated pacer there's enough
stress there's enough excite it is
enough drama from Corona we don't need
new pace of drama just be be present and
whatever you're feeling whatever comes
up it's exactly what's supposed to come
up make space for it and remember it's
part of the story it's all part of the
story of ETS miss Ryan because if
there's no myth sir I am there's no UTSA
miss Ryan so if you're feeling miss Ryan
if you're feeling like bad stuff great
now you have what to leave if there's no
mid strand there's no ucsf it's fine so
don't get afraid and frustrated and
stressed out by anything to celebrate
your pace so you're gonna have an
amazing pace in your home I know it I
love you so much and I bless you so much
I know it's gonna be an amazing
incredible pacer and now we are going to
dedicate the last section of our program
to questions questions questions
questions questions questions questions
questions questions bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum okay eight four five seven seven
seven four seven four seven
if the germ is so small the coronavirus
how do people know about it the answer
is because in the late 1800s we
developed incredible microscopes that
allowed us to see things that we cannot
see with our naked eye
hashem puts special-needs children in
this world why he starts them off on the
wrong foot he gives them the exact
opposite of a head start in life they
have disabilities they have all these
special needs their life is filled with
paying humiliation he gives the family a
big dose of stress and worry and tant
pain why did he put all these
handicapped children in the world or
autistic children or other disabled
children or special children
some of them lie around and can't do
anything I read a lot of articles that
they are greatness hummus fine but as
it's fair to give the families such a
challenge I reached out to a lot of
people for an answer
would you have an answer wow you kids
ask good questions I'm gonna tell you
one thing I don't know if I can call it
a night I'm gonna tell you one thing
every soul has a special special mission
these souls are beautiful beautiful
Souls and they're not humiliated and
it's not that God gave them the opposite
of a head start and just sends them down
here to suffer no God sends them down
here to teach all of us about love to
teach us about humanity to choose just
about kindness to teach us about not
judging people to teach us about being
humble
these children tell us and say you know
you're not gonna be able to celebrate
the regular milestones birthday by
Mitzvah option is pass Mitzvah
graduation and wedding should sometimes
you're not gonna be able to celebrate
this you're not gonna have the regular
Nahas from me I'm doing grading yeshiva
the principal call valedictorian base
Yakko valedictorian base roll call
valedictorian but I see an valedictorian
bass riff come out with the story and
shelah MS brewery anim you're not gonna
have that but you're gonna see a soul
that is so special and you're gonna give
them unconditional love just like they
give you unconditional love you're gonna
learn that we're all imperfect and we
have to forgive ourselves and each
others for our imperfection so these
souls have a very
very special and beautiful mission is it
hard yeah it's hard is it stressful a
lot of it is stressful but sometimes
when we realize what the purpose is it
could take away a lot of the suffering
because sometimes we have expectations
what life is supposed to look like and
when it doesn't fit into those
expectations we fall apart but if a
person can open themselves up and say
maybe the way I understood my life was
wrong maybe my mission in this world is
different maybe my mission is to give
love to this child that's my mission so
then instead of stress it could become a
source of blessing and joy it still may
be very hard but the perspective can
change
my tenure I'm crying I can't see my
Zetas and Bubba's for pacer they tell me
that I Shem is good he does everything
for the good cause everything is good
why don't we dive in that it should
change if if people are sick and it's
supposed to be because our Shem wants it
so it's good so why are we Dominic
excellent question
the answer is it's good but it's not
revealed good and we're Dominique were
revealed good the fact that our Shems
goodness is sometimes so concealed that
itself means that we're in a broken
world why can't our Shems goodness be
revealed so weird a burning that iions
goodness should be revealed we should be
able to appreciate like we say in the
ELA it's ours our tithe la nuit if that
it should be toi one who we should feel
feel feel the good it's very very good
question I am 11 years old and live in
Yerushalayim my little sister I love
dearly I try to do the best things for
and help her she never says thank you
appreciates it makes me very upset
because the lack of appreciation wow
maybe in a very calm moment you can talk
to your sister about it and ask her and
tell her you know would mean so much to
me if you express appreciation but it
could be also that something is
bothering your sister and it's so hard
for it express appreciation maybe you
can have a conversation with your mother
or your father or both of them and maybe
they can help your sister find ways in
which she could find more appreciation
but I want you to know my dear Allah sir
your name is Allah sir from you ash lime
I want you to know that whenever you
help somebody it's a very very special
thing even if they don't express
appreciation so you're not only doing it
to get appreciation you're also doing
such a beautiful and special thing but
yes you should we should try to work and
help out the situation with appreciation
can you speak about this I can't handle
the guilt of making pacer when I could
be helping Klaus all by saying tell them
my entire life my entire life is making
pacer now but that's not fear so many
people are in desperate trouble
I have guilt and much more than guilt if
we are Claudius rather than one person
synthesis everybody's similar and one
person's pain shatters the world I
depend on my inner sanctuary and I trust
in a Shem we're completely one inner
Shem why isn't sincerity able to change
the world and how can I make Pesach and
the answer my dearest friends is my
dearest friend is of course we are part
of Claudia strong and of course you
should say tell him and of course we
should say tell them but when we when
each of us prepares for Pesach the way
we're supposed to prepare for Pesach we
are also helping Claudius you're all yes
you should take time every day to darvon
and davon sincerely you should take time
every day to call people and offer help
to as many people as you can this is
very very important and I mentioned
already a few times to the children and
adults everyone should make a call a few
calls a day to people who are lonely to
people down the block to relatives to
friends to people who are not friends to
old friends and be there for them very
important but when we prepare for pacer
we're also helping the Jewish people
it's like in a body every limb is part
of the whole body but every limb has
also its function so when I do my own
avoid what I have to do through that I
also help then entire limb you really
don't have to feel guilty generally
guilt comes from the ate Sahara from the
ate saw time comes ideas of how to
correct things whenever there's guilt it
usually comes from the yeats air Hara

okay question number one my children
want to know when life will go back to
normal I don't know I don't know but it
could be a while I don't know listen we
hope for the best but we don't know
nobody knows I D Williamsburg eleven
years old I am so disturbed by
everything that's happening my great
great aunt whom I loved so much passed
away last night lots of other people in
the community passed away I know so many
who still need a recovery life feels
horrible I don't like what's happening
besides the time off from school which I
hate how am I supposed to feel how do I
get rid of all these heavy feelings that
are weighing me down how can I feel her
sense presence when I'm feeling this way
wow I D 11 years old Williamsburg I wish
I had an easy answer for you I D this is
a very hard time we all have heavy
feelings it's very normal it's very
normal I want you to close your eyes
with me and we're gonna do a little
meditation ID just a very short
meditation to be able to help with the
heavy feelings okay take a deep breath
breathe in and hold it for a few seconds
and then breathe out
ari you could do this yourself too and
when you do this try to relax give space
for the heavy feelings it is very sad
you loved your great great aunt you
can't see you you can't talk to her you
know that her neshama is alive but you
want to be with her you want to be able
to see her and so many of us lost people
and this is very very hard and you're
allowed to cry and you're allowed to be
sad and you're a lot of grieve and
you're a lot of feel heavy feelings
because it's very very hard and breathe
in and breathe out and respect those
feelings but I want you also to know
that even when you have those heavy
feelings you can tell yourself that it's
a very hard time we don't understand how
Shems ways but we know that we're in his
hands every moment and everything is
with a purpose and we're fighting a war
together and we're gonna get through
this and it's important to know that
this is the time when the true inner uid
will come out in a time of war you know
when soldiers are fighting a war and
they watch their friends dying they can
do one of two things they could just run
away or they could say now I need
courage now I need strength now I need
resolve we are all in this together and
I want you to have courage and I want
you to have strength to know that what
your great great Island wants from you
more than anything else is that you
should continue to smile then you should
continue to love and you will continue
her life through your own beautiful life
yes it's not gonna be an easy pacer for
any of us it's not gonna be an easy
pacer for any of us but we have to
remember two things we're always
together in this we are united and that
we're in our Shems hands
he's loving us and he's guiding us and
we're doing the best we can hello rabbi
Bnei Brak welcome I'm a big fan
you said last week that this year is the
first time you and your family are
staying home for Pesach how are your
preparations going well my wife is at
sudeikis god bless her and I'm sitting
here and speaking to you and she's
working but I'm still gonna get to work
why do we say leshawna baba schleimann
out leshawna's a bearish Eliab why can't
they go to my grandmother's house for
this dadam isn't it lil shimmerin when
we say leshawna hobo we mean that
mushiya is gonna come now and next year
will automatically be in Yerushalayim it
is little shimmer rim but they'll
shimmer it means it's a special night
for protection but whenever there's a
situation that's called Isaiah meaning
there's a danger in the streets then
even on the ocean Maryam you have to
stay home well Simran doesn't mean that
I could be reckless for example I could
run in front of a truck the night of
paces well woman is a truck coming
I'll run in front of the truck I'll say
well sure Morgan that's not how it works
now there's a truck coming the virus
travels faster than a truck and God
forbid if I mingle with people I could
bring it to my bubbie I can bring it to
my Zadie and endanger their lives
you spoke in one of your classes they
don't feel like giving speeches cuz a
lot of people are suffering I want to
tell you that I beg you not to stop my
father has an ongoing disease he's
homebound most of the time he only
leaves his house for doctor's
appointments your classes what kept him
going for a while and even more now
please don't stop don't think that the
time is not right a Shem has given you
the power to inspire now is needed more
than ever thank you for the previous
lectures thank you thank you
thank you that's beautiful and please
give my blessings and love to your
father
lady it's fuc five years old where is
Hashem hiding Hashem is hiding right
here in my house and in your house and
we have to reveal it we have to bring in
light into this situation I said we're
going out of mitzrayim this year but we
aren't admits Ryan Menachem H 7 do is
physical mitzvah I am and there is
emotional mitzrayim right if I'm a slave
to a bad habit I'm in an emotional mess
Ryan my house is very hectic I am the
oldest I have a big family my mother
needs my help how can I work on myself
to help with simcha it's very
overwhelming very very good I'll tell
you you in the morning you need to take
a little time for yourself maybe take a
walk maybe do some exercise maybe do
some jumping jacks maybe do some dancing
maybe
give a little run maybe just do
something for yourself make a puzzle
writer drawing
davin learn listen to a she or do
something for yourself so that you could
be in a wholesome space and then you'll
be able to help with much more simpler
and if you feel that the pressure is
very very heavy go take a break and take
a little breath a little bit and take a
nap or read a book and do some fun
things also maybe if you like puzzles or
you like to draw you like to call
friends you could maybe Skype with your
friends would also be a very very good
idea if we are literally part of our
ship why can't we perform miracles of
Remi Rosenberg eight years old that's
such a beautiful question the truth is
that there were a lot of savvy como
could perform miracles because they were
really really in touch with the fact
that their power as Hashem is power and
they don't have their own power so I
think the more somebody is really
connected to that the more they can go
beyond nature but the truth is every one
of us can perform miracles you know what
the greatest miracle you can perform us
the greatest miracle you can perform is
to realize that how you want to live is
your choice your nature your habits your
past your history and even being locked
up in the house don't force you to live
any certain way you can choose the way
you want to live and you're not held
down that's one of the greatest miracles
you and I can perform because we are
part of our shell in the last few months
I feel less connected I don't know if
it's because I'm accepting everything
the way it is or because I became
spiritually numb I pray and I learn with
pleasure but I feel like there's less
chemistry than in the past
Daniil okay go with the wave go with the
wave it's fine I really want to wake up
early to be able to dive in and have a
regular day but I can't well you have to
go to sleep early if you wake go to
sleep late you won't be able to go to
sleep early maybe ask your mother or a
professional if you can take a little
melatonin or something else to help you
go to sleep maybe you need calming music
go to sleep early and you'll wake up
early and then you'll have a much better
day it's important to keep a schedule
during these days our father passed away
last week because of Corona we would
like some tips on
how to preserve a relationship with a
relationship with him thank you
well first of all I'm so so sorry
hamachi menachem ask him a search are
availa team yerushalayim it's very very
important to realize that this is such a
difficult time but here are a few things
number one give sadaqa I guess you're
still the middle of the Shiva right
you're still the middle of the Shiva you
still the middle of the Shiva I don't
know if you're middle of the Shiva but
to give sadaqa every day and your
father's honor would be a tremendous
thing there's a few places in the world
where they could say Kaddish because
they're quarantine together if you could
rent somebody to say Kaddish for your
father would be a very good thing if
you're after Shiva learn Mathias every
day for your father's neshama learn your
father's and give sadaqa for your
father's neshama and that way you're
gonna have a tremendous relationship
with your father forever what does it
mean to be the Simca and not to be wild
and frivolous last week's children's
program
last Thursday program number 5 I
addressed that at length please go to
that program because I addressed it at
length 855 777-1727 EXT
our ladies and girls allowed to bring
the basket of bickerin vara Leah Cohen v
Manchester I believe yes even the ones
that are because they didn't why do
children ask the four questions well we
know all the answers already excellent
question excellent I'm gonna ask you a
favor
dove at age 13 go to the yeshiva that
met Pesach Seder section value should be
the basics a dissection and you'll see a
few serum lectures that I gave on this
one of them is called the four questions
are really the four answers okay and
other ones about the four questions and
I think your questions will be answered
about the four questions I feel guilty
that I'm so worried about camp closing
because of corona when people are dying
you don't have to feel guilty it's
normal you loved camp and you wanted to
go to camp you're a human being yes
people are dying and it's horrible but
you're sad about camp don't feel guilty
it's called a human being a human being
if you would tell me if you're telling
me that you're doing the wrong thing if
you're telling me that you're doing the
wrong thing or another what somebody
needs your help
and because you're thinking about camp
you're not helping them okay but you're
not doing anything wrong you're feeling
horrible that you're not gonna go to
camp this year first of all we don't
know maybe you're gonna go to camp but
these are normal human emotions somebody
says that they want to donate every
single letter that's left in a cemetery
that's being written how do I go about
that Hannah you could send me an email
rabbi why why at the yeshiva dot net
okay how can it be an at his nephew is
an a knuckle of the Medici wherever his
name is lady it's has been such a sudden
unfortunately not from his grandfather
must be in a lot of pain listen our job
is to bring together every single Jew
and to be makar of every Jew that we can
to either strike you know sometimes
people grow up in homes it's not their
fault
how they are because that's how they
grow up we are very very sad because our
grandmother is sitting Shiva alone in
her house for her brother what can we do
that we can't go and see her try to call
her as often as possible write her a
letter that could be sent to her send
her messages tell her that you're gonna
be learning machine iose her for her
brother giving sadaqa for her brother
and just call her you could face time
with her you could zoom with her use
other technology the whole family should
call her if she if she wants that if she
appreciates it unless she wants to
unless she wants to be left alone but I
assume she doesn't want to so just reach
out take a rotation you do it every
morning every night try to call her
twice again I think that will make her
feel feel much better let's get to the
answer let's get to the answer oh wow a
lot of answers came in okay guys we're
going to the answer for their riddle
about the Busey bear celibate chick she
was worried about three eggs because she
knew something was wrong so he told her
to keep it for the next day because he
realized that obviously something was
wrong financially okay she was stealing
he thought she was stealing the answer
is she shouldn't get embarrassed why
would she be embarrassed I'm not
understanding these answers it was a
problem of stealing she wanted her to
tell her master that she stole she stole
a fourth egg so if she stole why did she
come to him the Roth wanted to be nice
and kind and take the lady's questions
seriously to make her feel important but
then why did he tell her that they can't
eat it she wanted this should be Shalom
he wanted Shalom bias with the husband
but how would that make Salah bias
because if your Chabert was the only one
who understood that every child matters
so he made the child feel special great
but he told her that they can't eat it
they can't eat the Canadian
he answered her because he wanted her to
know that when she has a serious
question she'll come back to him yeah
but why did he tell her not to eat the
cañedo he didn't want her to feel bad he
didn't want to embarrass her all good
but he told him that he'd the Cannella
he wanted her to feel comfortable asking
questions good but he said you know that
he'd the canal I pay people answers
around 30 answers most of them are the
same the blue eggs had a blood spot so
he would ask his wife to cook more
Canales then he was snitch and switch
them with the ones that the girl cooked
she didn't say they had a blood stuff
you see she was told to take three and
then after she took four perhaps the
reason is that the owner of the house
would be happy to eat it and would think
that it was some sort of a logic ruling
instead of embarrassing the cook and
taking away from symphysis yom tov so he
said don't eat the kanay that for one
day so the owner of the house would be
happy to eat it and would think that it
was some sort of a logical ruling
instead of embarrassing the cook and
taking away simcha some tough in order
to make bitl you need an odd amount for
majority three eggs are better than four
also on the first day we shouldn't eat
extra matzah to keep our appetite for
the Seder so you told it to come back
the next day the chosen ish used to not
eat two eggs together because zoo guys
and four eggs should also be a problem
maybe the fourth egg changes the
measurements and it's too much liquid so
it's not good for the canal on maybe the
second night will be a different answer
maybe it's zoo guys but we have four
cups on Pesach so we're not worried
about zoo guys as de cámara says
upcycled ok beautiful beautiful answers
thank you for trying now let me tell you
what really happened when the wealthy
Jews started to laugh and say that what
are you doing what are you answering her
he looked and he said to them you don't
understand when a girl comes with a
question you have to listen well her
boss told her what to go make Nadler
from 3 eggs she said
I made four eggs what happened what
happened so the base I lady said I
understood what happened what happened
was this girl was scared she kept on
coming and leaving coming and leaving
she was petrified she was intimidated
she maybe never came to me to ask a
question she saw all these people around
me so I knew that I have to listen extra
careful to what she say
her boss told her to make cañedo from
three eggs but she went to make it from
four eggs and then I realized why if she
had three eggs why would she get a
fourth egg and the answer of course is
because she realized that three eggs is
not gonna be enough for the amount of
matzah Mel that's there you need more
eggs so she needed a fourth leg but the
problem is her boss only gave her three
eggs and she didn't have a fourth egg so
what did she do she went to the chicken
coop they act chickens and the
Jews had chickens he may have even know
whether they had chickens people have
some of my neighbors here Muncie have
chickens chickens lay eggs every single
day so she went to the chicken coop and
she got a fourth egg and she took the
fourth egg and she smashed the egg and
she mixed it up with the other eggs and
the matzo meal in order to make balls to
make matzo balls plate lock and then I
realized her question Bates's Chanelle
the be empty this was an egg that was
born it was hatched by the chicken on
Yom Tov and we know what's the halacha
in misse-x the bait sir and intial
Samaras Hillis jumped up what's that
Walker an egg that's born
that's boar that's hatched on yontiff
yeah now let it you have to wait till
the next day or till the next night to
eat if you now let it if it's Yom Tov
that came after Shabbos if young TIFF is
on Sunday or Shabbos that came after Yom
TIFF yup that was on Friday there may
not tire Ian
even a regular octave let's say yom tov
is on a thursday you're now allowed to
eat the egg that was no the beautif this
is considered something that's moxa it
was born on yom tov you not let eat it
now you're gonna say but the egg was
mixed up with the other eggs and a lot
of other things so probably it's bottle
it's nullified that's probably or maybe
even a ratio of one to sixty but even if
yes there's a principle and our laws are
called dove our chalet mightier in a
night bottle something that's gonna be
muttered tomorrow
there's no din bitl because you could
leave it till tomorrow and you're not
losing anything so you can eat it
tomorrow
since tomorrow it's not it's gonna be
fine
only the first day of Yom TIFF when the
egg was born are you now let it eat it
but tomorrow it's gonna be much it's not
like something that's tray it's just
look to today so therefore the base la
visa tell her not to eat the connected a
why because it has an egg that was now
the beautif but tomorrow come back to me
tomorrow come back to me and we are
going to talk about it he understood
that because of her shame she was afraid
to say exactly what happened but when he
listened to her question he understood
what happened this was a beta should
know the BLT
tie you to kinder wash I love you so so
much I bless you to have a beautiful
young TIFF inspiring meaningful relaxing
happy joyous and healthy stay healthy I
know it's not a pesos but we expect it
it's not an easy pacer
but we are all united in spirit with
love and with unity and with faith and
with trust we know that there's a plan
that's much bigger than us and much
larger than us let's keep it together
keep a positive attitude
be strong let your beautiful neshama
come out in the deepest way and if
there's moments that are hard it's fine
don't worry take a deep breath and
respect it and together we should dance
into a beautiful pace of Hashem
should send a complete recovery to all
those who need it and Hashem should give
comfort and strength to all those who
experienced recently such terrible
terrible loss loss and Hashem should
protect all of the Jewish people and all
over the world and all good people in
Eretz is strong in America in Europe and
in all of the countries of the world I
know you're listening in Australia night
