so from here we see
that
the pursuit that says so
you conquerors your destroyers will come
from within you was literally a
kadoshburg who giving us clear
instructions that if we do not comply
with the rules of itala as a whole
we ourselves will become our biggest
enemy
we always like to blame other people for
anti-Semitism other people for uh Jewish
problems but in reality that's a
misunderstanding of what anti-Semitism
is yes anti-Semitism is wrong
but you have to also understand who is
causing the anti-semitism
what the cause of anti-Semitism is our
actions when we go against Hashem Hashem
uses anti-Semitism as the stick in order
to bring back his Sheep Home
initially it's the stuff when the staff
doesn't work the stick follows
so
here Wasserman tells us that
our desire to be like the goaim
and have that kind of a mentality
is
a betrayal of Hashem as the pursuit says
in
Vietnam
you shall be holy for me for I am Hashem
holy and I have separated you from the
people to be mine
meaning
aside from keeping the mitzvot
keep Shabbat
keep kashoot
keep all of these different rules study
Torah and so on there's also another
Mitzvah what is that Mitzvah do not look
or act like the rest of the Nations
do everything you possibly can to
distinguish yourself from the Nations
says
came and said the exact reverse
we absolutely want to be like the
Nations
God said about this
to the prophet
in chapter 20
verse number 32.
as to what enters your mind let us be
like the Nations
this shall surely not be
if not through a mighty hand and an
outstretched arm then with output wrath
I will Reign Over You
who says what you want to be like the
green that's your thought it's not going
to happen
so how come there's many people right
now that are acting like women there's
always been people acting like green
because Hashem gives us
opportunities he doesn't punish us right
away if he punishes right away we would
have no free choice if every single time
a guy goes to a in his car on Shabbat
the car blew up guess what there's no
more free choice
if every single time somebody stole
money in his business Hashem would have
all their fingers fall off
do we know free choice anymore so Hashem
gives us time because Shema has a lot of
patience for us
but at the same token Hashem says if you
think that's the way it's going to stay
that's what's in your mind that you're
going to be a new people you're going to
be like them it's never going to happen
one way or the other I will rule over
you he says
and the problem is that we
try very very hard
to be like the queen
is a famous story
of a khasid for Mal sharim
who
needed to raise the money to
marry off his daughters
and uh
they told them why don't you go to
England
go to England
raise some money over there there's some
rich people over there
go over there
so this hasid went
the England
looking the way he always does
stray Mall
you know looking like a Jew
so he gets there he has it's clear that
he is different from the Englishman
but he's proud to be a Jew no problem
I goes to the Jewish people you know
tries to raise a few dollars here and
there and then he's walking on the
street one day and all of a sudden he
hears a uh belt what's going on oh every
stops what because the queen and her
carriage are coming so everybody's gonna
stop okay so he stops he doesn't know
what's going on he knows that everybody
else stopping the queen is coming queen
of England stop and she's all of a
sudden the carriage with the queen in it
stops right next to him
the door opens and the queen looks at
who are you and he barely knows how to
speak English
hey here
who are you he says his name and the uh
assistant to the queen gives him a card
says get in touch with the queen come to
visit her in a castle
in a castle
whatever you want
so the guy didn't really know what this
all meant so he went back to the Jewish
people the English Jewish people over
there he says what does this mean look
at how would I got to be in everybody
was like wow you're made you're set for
life that's it you said for Life first
of all the Queen's gonna give you
whatever you want if she invites she
gave you a card to come to the couch
I'll give you whatever you want not only
money for your daughters money you can
buy houses you're good second of all
you're going to get all the publicity in
the world where all the papers are going
to follow you so who is the special Jew
the wow this guy got to this guy must do
business with him he must be a genius he
must be I don't know a magician or
something why is the queen inviting him
out of everybody else you're set
it's a big meeting then so I can't just
go regular
gotta you know gotta change it a little
bit it can't it can't be the Kansas the
queen she's a girl I can't be like
what's up what are you doing let me
change my jacket a little bit so he took
off the jacket took him to try and took
over everything started looking at it
more and more like an Englishman
and then he said you know what I'm still
like identifiable like she's gonna
recognize I'm a Jew and it it's not
going to be a good because I got to be
like you know what you took off the pay
out shaved off the trimmed the beard a
little bit you know groomed it a little
bit before you know it there's almost no
beard but it looks like an Englishman
nice little puppy on over here a little
what is those things bow tie yeah look
sophisticated
he comes to the castle the guy said who
are you go look I have a card from the
queen okay come in the queen says he
goes yes I can help you are you because
no no your highness don't you remember
you uh saw me just yesterday
all right so yesterday I was the guy you
stopped with the carriage
says oh what happened to you
what happened to you
well what do you mean your eyes I'm here
to visit you no no but you looked very
different
because oh no I wanted to dress up for
the for the queen
ah I have 30 million English men I was
only interested in you because you look
different you look like a Jewish person
I was interested in talking to you no
you're just like everybody else get out
of here
eventually
that's what happens
we work really really hard to be like
the queen
want to sing like them act like them
play like them
and unfortunately
that's not our job
that's actually a sin the more you act
like a guy
who is unhappy with you
this does not mean that all going about
by the way for anyone who wants to
distort my words the extent was oh yeah
you are your uh
that are fantastic people
the only ones that are bad that I
mention are people that hate Jews those
people are bad or people that hate Torah
which by default means they hate Jews
all people that are atheists which Again
by default means that they hate Jews
they hate Torah they hate everything
but going that love Jews loves Hashem
these people are wonderful I have many
many students that are alive that way
thank you
