0:00 We met at the Kotel. Yes, yes, that is from a lot. - This is a very big thing. How do you do this?

0:51 The mitzvah of reishis hagez. Today there are no kohanim, so it is not possible; one gives some gift or something else. One does not need to give them something. Like the zeroa, the lechayayim and the keiva, in siman 61 in Yoreh De'ah, you know it, the Rambam, in Hilchos Bikkurim, chapter 4, halachah 1, and Chullin, page 132, at 132. They are given - in the end it is in Yoreh De'ah, siman 61. I am saying, but about the mitzvah of reishis hagez, what is given to the kohanim? What will they do with the wool today?

1:27 - Oh, you do this with the tzitzis for the kohanim? So you did everything until the process? Until the process, yes. Until this? Until this. Until... What is left is, the wheel rolls the people, go, You compare and it will be here.

2:14 Ahhh, and it will be here, there is here the... Take care of it. If the holy Baal Shem Tov took off his tallis katan, one would see the tzitzis moving, when there was some spirit of Hashem.

2:38 The more holiness there is in the thought, the more it sanctifies the influence. Wow, I am really moved now standing here. Just one moment, one moment. He blesses that you succeed in all the world and that you continue to do this work, and it is an enormous, enormous thing. This, you taught it.

3:21 You taught it. Now we understand. Now we understand what 'you taught it' means. Wonderful, wonderful, this is so, this is after the bleaching, yes? After the bleaching, and then one does the... fluffing. Fluffing. This is after the cleaning and the fluffing. I bless the Rabbi. May the Holy One, blessed be He, give you long days together and good life, amen. May He increase goodness and... [unclear] ... and they will say 'you taught it' to all of the Jewish people, that you succeed. I am very, very moved to see you, and that here in this moment you are going together with the fulfillment of this holy mitzvah. May the Holy One, blessed be He, lead you to good life and to good influence, from education with a pure heart... you are at the lands.

4:03 And pass on to them regards, for that is regards from him, and very, very great love. Thank you, be strong and be firm; the more one goes back, that is the true holiness. In the past, not today, in the past. For this reason I learn from old books today, because I also learn from old books. Even the print of an old book has more holiness than the print of a law today. Why? Today they print on computers as well.

4:27 In the past they would print some handwritten typeface, and they did engraving of the... and they print a mold and work, they lift the mold and lift. So there is an engraving of the letters, so their level is more holy than the books. This is why I love to learn from old books. This is also going back. We are doing the prophet and also, I give the Rabbi the prophet and to the people. One hundred percent. Thank you very much. I can buy you the... Wow, wow, wow, how holy. That is to say, This is not pleasant in all the descriptions.

5:47 This is the time, very, until the situation, and there are quiet people here who ask to be [unclear]. [unclear] very to my tongue, one can see here.

6:14 [unclear] very to my tongue now, nine... The Rabbi is a Tunisian sage, very nice. Look, I dropped, I do not know, what?

6:40 There is this, yes, one can learn it. It was like this. It was like this. [unclear] Mizrachi. Fine, that is also good. This is a first example, an old edition, this is a very old edition. I still love old books.

7:07 How one learns as in the past. New waters, [unclear], leading, myself. [unclear] you will believe that this... - Yes, and we will try to bring more books, Rabbi. - Yes, with Hashem's help, good, good, yishar koach, that the Holy One, blessed be He, leaves you good [unclear], a good Yom Tov. Amen, amen. Amen. - All the best, all the best. Amen. May we merit to see the face of Mashiach, Rabbi.

7:32 - Amen. - That we also merit that he will see. - If he sees, [unclear]. - If we merit to see, not everyone remembers [unclear]. - Huh? - Many years.

7:56 - To learn upside down, so that there will be more toil. - I need to learn upside down. - I heard here about the eve of the hard time, from the [unclear]. - He learns like this, he learns like this, - he learns like this. Those are from the books. - Is there a big English one? - I very much understand the [unclear] of the law. - I will speak about a story about the [unclear].

8:24 [unclear] once stormed when there was such a number of [unclear] there [unclear]. That is, by force you can [unclear]. One must believe that every little bit that comes out of these holy books has a segulah, and a segulah that is very [unclear], but there is no problem in the middle suddenly. I am speaking from the side of the segulah, you must believe that it is a segulah.
