The Yanuka Rav Shlomo Yehuda-לראות את הבורא בתוך החיים שלך - הגאון הינוקא שיעור חובה לכל יהודי!!

2:30 He has anxiety about something. You can tell him it is nothing, you can tell him it is foolishness, you can tell him what is there to it. From the standpoint of halachah, he has the status of a sick person, and halachah can permit him in certain cases many things that... It is not possible, it is not now, we do not discuss this publicly, because then everyone will say I am pitiful, but it is possible ... to judge that person, to hear his case, it is possible to know according to halachah, even on Yom Kippur, what is permitted to him and what is forbidden to him.

2:59 It could be that he has a case where there is a certain leniency for certain things. It could be that not there is a person who is ... There are people who have anxiety about eating. He is afraid that he will eat, he will choke. And there is the opposite, there is a person who goes into anxiety that if he does not eat he is about to die, that is it, he feels that he is about to die, he is about to die, that is it, he feels that he is dead. Do you understand? Now, go explain it now to the person. Anxiety, has a kind of illness that atones for the person, and it is a struggle for a person, and it must be treated, and halachah treats it.

3:27 It carries weight. Rabbi, a year ago I was in a very, very low mental state, and I had very severe anxieties, and... I will not forget that the Rabbi blessed me, and... and then it simply disappeared for me as it were, a few days afterward. I also entered yeshiva, and... A lot of joy came into the life I had before. I wanted to say to the Rabbi, thank you for that. "Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good, for His kindness is forever."

3:51 Joy also in hearing good things, that is joy. Now wait, I am coming back to you. Now after the month, after the month, understand, the Holy One, blessed be He, what happens to the soul? The soul goes up above. Now the soul wants to destroy evidence. After all, who accuses the soul? The body. As long as the body exists, there is evidence that someone did all these things.

4:16 There is a list, look, so-and-so did this, this, this, this. And then the soul in Heaven says, listen, I did not do it, I do not know what. They say, here, he did it. Who did it? Here, look at this Reuven, who is lying there. And then the soul wants that the body should not continue to exist, that it should not exist. What does the Holy One, blessed be He, do? Kindness, and the body decays. This is kindness of the Holy One, blessed be He, that He does this. Once, in the time of the Sages, they had these ossuaries, that were they would put them, the dead, and afterward they would go and clear them out. It is also a solution for burial.

4:46 But but understand that, as it were, how was it in the past? As it were, they had, there was in it a kind of kindness, that they used this, in order that it would hasten the... decay of the... that they smear on, like lime, in... in the Mishnah in Ohalos. There are people who instruct that their body be burned. Oy vey, now I had a case last week in Holland, that they turned to me, a case like this, and, baruch Hashem, I managed to persuade that they should not burn.

5:15 "Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good, for His kindness is forever." In the end they did not burn. Rabbi, there are tzaddikim, though, where one sees that their body, that they had bones. What is the story with Maran the Chida, that they brought him? No, that is a story of one moment. The world follows its normal course, they show you now for one moment that he became bones. But afterward, how do you know what was before? You did not see. What is written about the bones of Yosef is not... The bones of Yosef, the Torah does not speak in the present tense.

5:41 What, now you want someone to read the Torah and say what is this? "And the Children of Israel took his body and his flesh, of Yosef, which had not decayed." "And they brought him." What will they say? A philosopher will come, he will say, wait, something does not add up. How did Yosef's flesh remain here? And then he will say, he will start to mock and ask questions on the Torah. The same thing with... "G-d created in the beginning," that they changed for King Ptolemy, who put all the Sages in one room, and they each separated and Hashem put it in the heart of all of them to write this wording.

6:09 Why did they not write "In the beginning G-d created"? They will say to him. The Torah the Torah was also given originally in such a language that it is not it does not speak exaggerations and things like that, but Yosef was whole. Yosef asked that they embalm Yaakov with all kinds of ointments in order to preserve the... because... . The Holy One, blessed be He, did not like it. The embalming, Yosef the tzaddik knew the embalming of Egypt. They used embalming in the past, how did they do embalming? They did it with buds of the balsam, they would open the stomach, clean it, and they would bury there inside the stomach buds of balsam, of balsam oil. Today we do not have this balsam.

6:45 In Berachos, page 43, side b, the Gemara tells that they would recite the blessing, "Who gives..." "Who creates pleasant oil," this was established for balsam oil, today we do not have this balsam oil. All kinds of places say, but the people of Jerusalem, the people of Jericho, cursed whoever would reveal the place of the balsam, because angels would come and take this oil, for their kingdoms. And this balsam oil was very, very precious.

7:09 Jericho is called Jericho from long ago until today, because of the scent that the growth of the balsam there had. This is the name for the word Yericho. Why is the city called Yericho, Yericho? It is from ancient times, already from the creation of the world, in the city of Jericho the balsam grew there, do you understand? No. Since, since the Holy One, blessed be He, created the world, He knew that there would be..., He already hid away this balsam.

7:34 The balsam is something hidden away and very lofty. If a woman would smear her face with balsam oil, she would never age. Did you hear?! A woman would smear her face one time with balsam oil, she would never age. Where will you find me such a cream today? There is no such thing. Rabbi, did it come from a tree? It... They would find it from buds. It came from a kind of, it was like these buds, like circles, like these buds, like nuts, that would grow on...

8:08 stalks like these and they would take from these buds, and they would crush them like olives and it would produce oil. This oil... Nobody is known at present in history who used it. The balsam is hidden and was hidden away. ... What is this? "In Tractate Shabbos, page 63, at the beginning of the side, Rav Yehudah said in the name of Rav: The cinnamon trees of Jerusalem were hidden away when Jerusalem was destroyed."

8:43 This is something else. Whether this balsam and these cinnamon trees were in the same batch that were hidden away together with them? It could be. But even if we also speak of the cinnamon trees, the cinnamon trees also had a very great special property and virtue. Even today cinnamon has very great virtues. Do you know that cinnamon repels insects? Insects cannot come near it. It is healthy for the body, it has many things and virtues in it.

9:07 It has a good scent. Rabbi, ... 30 days it makes the evidence disappear. Ah, so they would take the... What is that? The soul makes the evidence disappear. Yes, so wait, one second, before I return to the soul. They would take the buds of the balsam and put them in the stomach, and then they would do embalming, with honey, they would use honey, they would do embalming, and that person would remain whole. Now, for Yaakov Avinu, for Yaakov Avinu they did this embalming.

9:32 Now I do not know if they used the balsam and all that. They would import balsams from Egypt, to Egypt they would import them. It was something that grew in Israel, and the whole world wanted it. Rabbeinu Chaim Palagi writes something very startling, that in the whole world, in the whole world, you will not find a place that can grow in it seven species, only the Land of Israel. You can grow in the whole world. Try now to say, I take a fig, pomegranate and olives, just take fig, pomegranate and olives, three, no more, not seven.

10:05 Not seven species. Three you take, you cannot make them in the same place. The soil cannot. What is the definition of a place? After all, the Soviet Union is called one country. No, the Land of Israel. What is called one place, another? Every place outside the Land of Israel, only the Land of Israel, on the soil of the Land of Israel, can grow seven species. Seven species you can plant in the Land of Israel. Another place, it will be hard, he says that it is impossible to grow seven species.

10:31 No soil can produce seven species, only the Land of Israel. Now you see from here that Jericho, and the balsam oil, it was not one of the seven species. It was something hidden away much more. And if a person would smear if a person would eat of the balsam, he would die. Whoever swallows balsam dies. A person swallowed balsam, died. Because of how strong it was. Do you understand that it was something very, very, very strong and great?

10:57 Today we have no tradition of... balsam. Someone brought me a jar, he said that it is called balsam, that someone brings it from Jericho. I do not know if it is this or not, it is hard for me to believe. I made a blessing on it, "Who creates pleasant oil". I also bless over it "shemen areiv," and if I am careful to bless over it, since it is truly special, it could be a strain of a special family, a distant strain of it, something close, but it is not the same afarsemon oil mentioned in Scripture, the ancient one, that was in the time of the Sages.

11:25 It does not fit in terms of the era and in terms of its power. All all that they found in Egypt, in the pyramids, those dead whom they hid away, is that also...? Did they make it with that same oil? Those kings? Yes, but the kings, the pyramids have nothing at all to do with the Jewish people. Not related. The Jewish people used, Pithom and Ramses. No, no. There is in this a lot, there is in this a lot of many formulas and many different things.

11:52 The Jewish people, in Pithom and Ramses that they built, that they built Pithom and Ramses, but many things many different things there were among the Jewish people who were in Egypt. They were slaves there, and the Egyptians built all their wealth, they would go to be buried together with their money. In every pyramid a king is buried, and it was a graveyard for his treasures. He did not agree that anyone should inherit him. So they would be buried together with that money, and they would make pits with sorcery, so that no one could benefit from it, and whoever enters will die.

12:24 It was full of sorcery, full of... places... Yes. This, they were, don't you see that on every, on every mummy of theirs, a buried embalmed one, an embalmed Egyptian, they would put all kinds of ciphers, these ciphers, all these ciphers are an ancient Egyptian script, an ancient Egyptian script, and in this Egyptian script there is the ability to cast a spell and to put a spell on whoever...

12:53 tries to do something with them. In Tractate Menachos, page 86, the Gemara tells about Yochanai and Mamre, who were very great sorcerers, who are also called Yannes and Yambres, in the language of the Zohar. Yochanai and Mamre, in Tractate Menachos, page 86, the Gemara says that they were..., that they came to Moshe Rabbeinu, they said to him: Are you bringing straw to us?! Have you come to sell to us?! Like a man who comes to sell shoes to a store full of shoes.

13:18 What have you come to sell us? Shoes?! How do you come to give us here?! We are experts in sorcery. Who are you that you should come to sell us sorcery?! We are experts in this. We have the power of... the understanding of sorcery is much higher than yours, you cannot sell us, give us anything in this. So look, look there at the Gemara in Menachos, page 80, side b, look at what the Gemara says, that Yochanai and Mamre, they were...

13:43 their ability was to do sorcery, it was something frightening, they could do just like Moshe Rabbeinu does. And where did they get this ability from? From their powers of impurity. Now, today, we do not have such sorcerers, and we do not have such abilities, and all that remained in Egypt are those diagrams that they used. So they would read this together with that. - Rabbi, could it be that he, may his name be erased, also used sorcery?...

14:12 No, he did not use any powers. He was a simple Jew, a good Jew. There was a misunderstanding altogether, this... there is, there is a student of Maran the Chida who composed an explanation. Once I gave a lesson on this on Shabbos, in which... I explained this whole matter of that one. There are a great many distortions today, and a great many distorted opinions about all that was with him.

14:36 - The Rabbi said that he used the Explicit Name. So how does that work? The Explicit Name, correct. There is in the Talmud there was the censorship. In the Shas there was the censorship. There are many things that they omitted, such as the death of Rabbi Akiva. There is... there is a book of the versions of the Shas, where things were brought without censorship, and there is censorship. The censorship that there was, there are first editions, very large ones, in which...

15:03 things were not omitted in them. Today most of them, nearly all, are with the censorship, many things were omitted, out of many things that they did not want them to link them to history, so that blood libels and things like that would not come. Now this same one, there is a great deal of controversy about his life, what he was, who he was, and... it is not so accurate, what they say.

15:28 The Jews..., no..., no one handed him over, they did not kill him, they say that they handed him over. That is altogether an invention afterward of the Crusaders. There is in this a great deal..., with Miriam Magdalene who was, Miriam Magdalene, about whom the Tosafos speak. - But he incited against Israel. What is that? - He incited... Israel. That is so, all that he does, but there is the story from the beginning of all that was, that it is not as they supposedly tell it, it comes out like a blood libel against us, as if he did nothing, and...

15:57 and they took him and that, that is not so. He he started from good, and moved on to not good. He used everything that he knew, and the Explicit Name. - If you know the Explicit Name, you can fly in the air. What are you... There is no..., there is nothing greater than... the Name of Hashem, but who can know the Name of Hashem? No one can know. - Correct. Correct. So Rabbi Elazar of Worms, the Rokeach, writes in Sodei Razaya.

16:23 The only one who knows the Name of Hashem is Mashiach. "I will exalt him," why will the Holy One, blessed be He, exalt him?! "Because he knew My Name." "He will call upon Me and I will answer him." That is the reason. But how will you succeed in knowing the Explicit Name? It is a table, you need to know how to connect this to that, this to that, this to that, this to that. - The audience: And he wrote this on his... or something? They say that he stuffed it inside his flesh. - Rabbi, Torah for its own sake that a person learns, is the highest level in the world.

16:48 The highest there is. - But for a person who... - There is nothing higher than Torah for its own sake. - The audience: But a person who... has not yet learned Torah for its own sake, and has many bad ideas, does he need to cast them out, or should he take all the... all the ideas, all that he learned, into Torah for its own sake? Does the Rabbi understand the question? Yes, he needs to take everything into the Torah. Even though he learned Torah that is not for its own sake. Like... Take everything into the Torah. From not for its own sake, in the end he will come to for its own sake. - Did the Rabbi say that one must look forward to the redemption if we understood the meaning of this day?

17:15 The main thing is that a person should not learn in order to try to see the not good. Berachos, page 17, that this is the thing that is hardest there is. ... Most forbidden, most forbidden is that a person learns the Torah in such a way, Sefer Chasidim, siman 279. It also writes that such a person is called, Heaven forbid, wicked. A wicked person, such a person. - Is this supposedly the measure between for its own sake and not for its own sake?

17:41 This is the measure between for its own sake and not for its own sake, yes. Yesterday the Rabbi mentioned in the lesson ... Ah, the soul goes up in thirty. After that we have the 11 that shows in his face, and... it does not want there to be evidence, that is the body. So therefore the more mitzvos and Torah we still do and elevation and kedushah, it goes up above. Only after that it sees its relatives who passed away, and it soars and goes up above.

18:09 And then of course there is the world of Tohu. That is the Heichalos HaTemuros, what you spoke about. The world of Tohu and the Heichalos HaTemuros. The Heichalos HaTemuros can be for a person from here. Even for tzaddikim, there are tzaddikim whom they mislead from the Heichalos HaTemuros. What are the Heichalos HaTemuros?! They switch things for them. There is a tzaddik who may think that he... has some ruach hakodesh or some attainment, or the revelation of Eliyahu, and he is on levels and he is that, and he is entirely from the Heichalos HaTemuros. The Heichalos HaTemuros is that they laugh at him in Heaven.

18:36 As if they lead him along. Because he, because he is on one side a tzaddik, but on the other side he is proud. He thinks of himself that he is already something great, but great tzaddikim in..., he supposedly needs to depend on much greater tzaddikim. On very great tzaddikim. And he... is a tzaddik for himself, but he is not a very great tzaddik. And because he is not a very great tzaddik, but he is a tzaddik, so they laugh at him in the Heichalos HaTemuros.

19:00 And... and... and... ... Yes, they do this. That a person should not be reincarnated ever. The whole purpose is that a person should not come down and be reincarnated into this world again, back. When a person comes to the Heavenly court, he should request in every way, and plead that never will he return in a reincarnation. No matter what. To be reincarnated into this world, the main thing, there are sometimes harsh judgments above, perhaps...

19:28 but not to be reincarnated ever. ... Correct. Correct. Not to come down to this world in order not to spoil and corrupt more. But the world of Tohu, that that is som... that is something else. That is that a person, that, that, I say again, it is hard for me to believe that people will get there. No one will be in that place. It is people who are truly evil and who deny very very much the Holy One, blessed be He, and the Torah, and the tzaddikim, and...

19:54 they do not have emunas chachamim. And people who very very much sin, and also do evil. You know, there is also a sinful person who does not believe, and does not do evil. And there is a person who sins and does evil to other creatures. Tormenting, a married woman, bad things, he does not care, he robs, oppresses, does... severe crimes, and he does not believe. Such people enter the world of Tohu. Now, what is the world of Tohu? The world of Tohu is a very dangerous world.

20:20 It is that a person enters a place where he thinks that he is alive and he is dead. That is to say, even before he goes to the Heavenly court, even before he goes up, before he begins, all the judgments, it is like a kind of sling. Before they even judge him, he is first of all in the world of Tohu. What does it mean, the world of Tohu? It means that he lives as if inside a body, he is inside the body, he walks around, goes to his workplace, and he sees that someone is sitting in his chair, he says to him get up, tries to talk to him, he does not succeed.

20:53 He comes to his house, and he sees his wife, that she is marrying someone, and his children are going to someone else, and he cannot understand, and then he tries to move things even in the house, and that is the reason that if you have heard in all kinds of stories in the world, about suddenly that they see on camera and they say: someone knocked over a bookcase, the curtain opens, something moves. Right, they tell... such stories about spirits?

21:17 It is not spirits, it is people from the world of Tohu, who do, they... they... ra... rage, and they can sometimes move things. If they go crazy and they still do not realize it, when they do realize, they move things. They break plates, they break this, they cannot harm, cannot kill. ... They are not in the Land of Israel, there is no world of Tohu, in the world, in the Land of Israel there is no world of Tohu, there is no need to be afraid and no need for this.

21:41 If there is a wicked person who... there are no such things. I will explain to you again, in the world of Tohu today there are no people, no one walks around there, it is an empty world, there are a few individuals there. There is nothing to worry about. No one strolls there, no one gets there, will not get there, these are things, it is a remote concern. ... What is it? This is even before the judgment altogether. This is even before the judgment altogether.

22:06 ... Even before the judgment. Even before the judgment, with the Peri HaAretz, this story is something else entirely. - You mean that he rectified him, that he was on the ship? - He thought that he was... - He thought that he died, that he came to him from Heaven for a rectification? That is what I explained earlier, at the beginning. That if you have a Rebbe, then you come to him quickly. If you have a true tzaddik or Rebbe, you arrive to him directly. They give you the opportunity to reach him as fast as possible.

22:30 ... Yes It is very important for whoever wants to act for the elevation of a soul, to say Mishnayos, which is a very great thing, Mishnayos for the elevation of the soul of the deceased, and... to do mitzvos, good things, and... u... in Heaven for the elevation of his soul. Now I will ask you...

22:54 - To donate books too? Excellent. ... Look, sometimes one does not only have to do... one does not need a Torah scroll as well, one can also do... holy books, print siddurim, things like that, which is also a great benefit. Great, you know, the Sfas Emes of Gur, the Imrei Emes of Gur, who returned from the Holocaust, many of his books were burned, his... was lost, he printed the Shas, and through this one fulfills the obligation of: "And now write for yourselves this song."

23:19 One wants to print a Shas, one wants this, one fulfills through this the obligation of... writing a Torah scroll. You print books, you contribute to the distribution of holy books, things like that, this is also... This is also "write for yourselves the song," what, is it not a Tor...? Is this not a Torah scroll?! This is also a book Whoever is close to a tzaddik, what is it to be close to a tzaddik? Being close to a tzaddik is to be close to his mind, and to keep your loyalty toward him. These are the two things that you need, that you have his mind and loyalty to him.

23:44 If you have loyalty to him and his mind, you are close. If you have no faithfulness and you do not have his mind, you are not close. Close means faithful, faithful, faithfulness. How does one arrive at faithfulness? Faithfulness is already a person's work with the Creator. In what is the Rabbi's faithfulness expressed? Faithfulness, faithfulness is guarding, esteeming and valuing the worth of the words. You know, I want to explain a few important things to you. - So it is for Hashem, not for the tzaddik?

24:08 ... Faithfulness is an inner trait - Uh... uh... built in, yes?! What does it mean for him to tell you that left is right and that right is left? What, what is the meaning? - What? How? - How can one... after all, if I... If my Rebbe tells me: right is left and left is right, I will not believe him, because I know that right is right and left is left. - The audience: Maybe the opposite of my own mind. What, what is the meaning? Right is right, left and left that is right. Do you know what it means?

24:33 Did you ever understand this? I will explain to you what it means. When a person is on a stage, all right?! Let me give you an example. Let me give you an example. Someone asked me, in... on Yom Kippur just now. What is the meaning? "He tells you that left is right"... Now I remember. That... - Did you hear that, what I answered him?

24:58 - No. No. So you... you saw that in the prayer on Yom Kippur I was in... So I stood, ... I had my stage, and... there was no room in all the... in the whole hall on the left side, so they built another tent on the right side. Now now I was in the middle, like a connector, as if I were the cantor, so those here and those there heard me, from both sides. But see what happened then, that these began to sing here, they sing songs like that, and on one side I have to hear the songs of those, and they get mixed up, with the songs, these sing "You chose us," from here, and those meanwhile clap their hands and I, and I, and they see me doing this to them with my hands, and no one understands,

25:35 I am not managing to understand, I am trying, as if, to conduct an orchestra. Let's say a conductor... In this lifetime I will not be on an orchestra. I do not know how to conduct an orchestra but but... What happens is, on one side I am with these, on the other side I am with those. Now these do not... see those from afar. They do not... they see, these see those from afar, they do not all see everyone. They look from afar. Now, I am standing, and...

25:59 I say to him, tell, these are right and these are left. Do you see those over there? You see them from afar, we cannot see them. I only see the... those who sit in this row, all those up front I do not see. Those over there, do you see those over there? He says no, I said to him, tell, now someone sitting on the side says, why is the Rabbi looking to the right? What does he see there? He sees nothing, there is no one there.

26:24 And those on the right say, why is the Rabbi looking to the left? Why is he doing this at all? Why is he looking over there? I said to him, you must understand that if I look over there, there is something there, even though you do not see it. And if I am on the other side and I look over there, there is something there even though he does not see it. This is the meaning, if he tells you that right is left, do you understand... It is... how does one say?!

26:48 It is to come... Sometimes it is to come and give a parable and its lesson. Sometimes the... the... reality, when you see a reality and a picture, you can understand it much more. You know, the Gemara in Tractate Shekalim, on page 15, the Gemara tells about Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov, someone came, you know, today in every synagogue, there comes some... merchant, someone comes to collect tzedakah, someone comes, so there was one who came to...

27:12 their place who was... blind. It is a shame, it is a disgrace, such a person. As if, they do not... they do not treat him as anyone, they do not see him. Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov came and sat beside him, and then everyone honored him, exalted him. Now I ask you, you will look at Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov, the great one of the generation, going and sitting beside some poor blind man. You would say to yourself, what is he doing? As if what...?

27:37 You would have, as if, mocked him. But today when you read the deed that he once did, you say how great he was that he did not want to shame him, and he wanted to help him, that they should donate to him, that they should give him. Today you look at this deed, how do you look at it? Today if a rabbi, the great one of the generation, would go and sit beside such a person, what would everyone say?

28:02 ... They would say, as if, what is he doing? What? Is he all right? This... this is not befitting his honor, this is not normal. But the... this is not proper, why is he doing this deed? We would ask a thousand questions. Just on such a story, what, there is something wrong here. Today you look at the deed, you say, how noble was what he did. Many times we cannot understand the Sages, now. We can understand them only after forty years.

28:26 A person does not stand on the mind of his teacher until after forty years. You cannot understand the things that the wise man does. And for this one needs emunah in the Sages, to believe in the things that the Sages do. - Can the Rabbi explain more about emunah in the Sages? - And we have finished, now you bring a loud voice? ... The Rabbi, "And from afar you shall see the land, and there you shall not come." "And from afar you shall see the land." Hashem says to Moshe Rabbeinu, you will not enter the Land of Israel, a parable: to a prisoner who is in a cage.

28:54 They say to him, here, there is food here, you cannot eat. What benefit is there in this thing, ... to see the land? That Moshe Rabbeinu came and looked at the whole Land of Israel, but he did not enter. What is the benefit? What is this thing? - The audience: Iron Dome. Good, first of all, regarding the holiness of the Land, Moshe Rabbeinu, with his gaze upon the Land of Israel, drew down for us all the holiness of the Land of Israel. For Rabbi Zeira said: the air of the Land of Israel makes one wise.

29:20 From what does it make one wise? Do you know?! ... only from the gaze of Moshe Rabbeinu. Moshe Rabbeinu who looked upon the Land of Israel, sanctified it with his gaze. The Holy One, blessed be He, did not let Moshe Rabbeinu enter the Land of Israel, because Moshe Rabbeinu was himself the Land of Israel. "The righteous shall inherit the land." And also in order to give us the hope and the inheritance of the future to come, in the revival of the dead, all the dead will rise.

29:44 We have the tribe of Ephraim, who are destined to go out... from Egypt, who were buried on the way when they left Egypt earlier, before the time that they were supposed to leave. What our teacher is destined to gather with him many more, with Hashem's help, in the redemption. The Holy One, blessed be He, at least said to him: "Take, see," as if, in this He gave him contentment and ease, because a person has pleasure in seeing what he sees. The end of the Yerushalmi in Kiddushin, that a person is destined to give an accounting for everything he saw and did not make a blessing over.

30:12 You saw something, you did not bless, you will give an accounting for it. That is to say, you see here that there is a merit for a person in sight. And also the opposite, if you remember that I spoke about Moshe Rabbeinu, that Moshe Rabbeinu was at the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and the Holy One, blessed be He, said to him: "Go, descend, for your people have acted corruptly." And Moshe Rabbeinu did not break the Tablets, and I asked: How, what is this, Moshe Rabbeinu, are you casting a flaw in the words of Hashem? The Holy One, blessed be He, said to you: "Go, descend, for your people have acted corruptly," break the Tablets now.

30:37 Why are you waiting? Moshe Rabbeinu breaks the Tablets only when he sees the deed of the calf. That is to say, as long as he had not seen the deed of the calf, he as if did not break the Tablets, as if he did not believe the words of Hashem. He believed the words of Hashem, that is certain, but the sight made an impression on him, the sight made a deepening in him. So I thought from here also to give the opposite, that... The Holy One, blessed be He, said to Moshe Rabbeinu: Come, take, see the Land of Israel.

31:02 And Moshe Rabbeinu saw the Land of Israel. The contentment and the joy that he had, this gave him as if he had inherited the Land, and these are the hidden reasons that were from Hashem that Moshe Rabbeinu would not enter the Land. But in every generation the Holy One, blessed be He, sends us tzaddikim who are in the aspect of the faithful shepherd of the aspect of Moshe Rabbeinu, who enter the Land, it is as if Moshe Rabbeinu entered. Or that in the opinion of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai then ... in the Zohar that... Moshe Rabbeinu and Tzipporah are buried in the Cave of the Machpelah.

31:35 How can this be? It can be. It can be. - Rabbi, how does one merit the revelation of Eliyahu? The revelation of Eliyahu, learn a great deal of Tanna Devei Eliyahu. Learn about Eliyahu, may he be remembered for good, learn Melachim, learn about Eliyahu, believe in him, learn about him, remember him on Motzei Shabbos, say the... the... Eliyahu the prophet, may he be remembered for good. With the... there is a book Tovei Chaim on Tanna Devei Eliyahu, Yeshuos Yaakov.

32:04 There there are all kinds of combinations on Eliyahu, may he be remembered for good. They say this. Say many good tidings to the Jewish people. Always announce good tidings, the aspect of Eliyahu, may he be remembered for good, will clothe you. Always say, announce good tidings, there will clothe you that same aspect of Eliyahu the prophet, may he be remembered for good. One who all the time announces good tidings and says good things, the aspect of Eliyahu the prophet, may he be remembered for good, clothes him. This can bring you to very great levels.

32:28 And how does one say? The main thing is to rejoice when you see a Jew. One need not only be amazed at Eliyahu the prophet. Eliyahu the prophet is an angel, and Eliyahu the prophet is... A Jew is more than an angel. One must rejoice in this that you... Or that we see Jews and are happy and see everyone well. Do you also know what thing can cause a person delays and difficulties in life and he does not know from what this is. What do you think it could be?

32:53 - Being strict, nitpicking. - Causing pain to people, a person to his fellow, ... - Theft, theft. - Being strict? ... ... - A person to his fellow. - That they do not see the good. ... All the answers are correct. But know that the main, important things are derech eretz. Derech eretz. Derech eretz, cleanliness, cleanliness of clothing, eating, not coarse eating, a person does not put food into his mouth while he has not finished chewing it, he finishes chewing, puts in more food.

33:27 He eats with clean hands, eats in fine clothes, clean clothes, guards his cleanliness, guards the... the..., in siman 2 in the Beis Yosef. It is written that they would rinse the mouth before mentioning the Name of Hashem. So of course today I do not know if they think about mentioning the Name of Hashem, but perhaps to think about the mention when he speaks with his fellow. You know, to be careful that the mouth is always clean. A person will speak with his fellow, that he should have.

33:51 These small things, sometimes, that a person sees, is careful about the cleanliness of his clothes, the cleanliness of his body, is careful about the cleanliness of his body. Is careful that he... These are very small things about eating, about cleanliness, things so there will be no dirt, that... that there will always be derech eretz. That people will always look at this person and say, see how he sanctifies the Name of Heaven. Let no one come and say, oh, how he behaves, he speaks nicely with derech eretz, helps people.

34:17 These small things, first of all, that a person will see a person, that there should not be, that we not become... and... and they will be coarse in Israel, the nations of the world will not come, will not come, these small things are things that bring a person to very great and mighty elevation in closeness to the Holy One, blessed be He, to be careful about cleanliness. These are things very, very important. They are very small things, very simple things, but I ask you, now a person makes a blessing, in a loud voice and makes a big noise, and all his clothes get dirty, he is eating the soup, it all spills on him.

34:50 Everything gets dirty. Will you tell him, is his blessing important? His blessing is the most important, but what he caused is revulsion. Whoever sees him is pained by it. Therefore one must always know to be careful to keep these things, which are the things, which are the important foundations of derech eretz. People sit at a meal, now there is a great person at the table. They give to the first person, the great one, who stretched out his hands to the foods. A person sits at a meal with his father and his mother, sits at the meal. There are such children who wash their hands before their parents.

35:23 First of all, the father must wash, the mother must wash, she takes the food, the bread, what she takes before her, what she takes from the table, takes to her plate. One must give the cooked dish, she takes the cooked dish into her plate, she, give her first, not that the child takes quickly. You sit at a meal with a great person, a person older than you, a person elder than you, a person more honored than you, a person older than you.

35:49 Tell him, hand to him, that you pour for him these small things, which as if seem to us, we say, what are these things?! What is this?! What is so important?! These things are sometimes the most important. They are the most important. Cleanliness and derech eretz are the most important things. From what side does this delay a person? - How? ...

36:14 - A Torah scholar who has a stain on his garment...? - Yes. Yes. This is also a Torah scholar on whose garment a stain is found. You see a Torah scholar ..., yes. You see that sometimes a Torah scholar on whose garment a stain is found is liable to death. A desecration of Hashem's Name ... - Yes - Rabbi, so what does Hashem want from us... in order to bring the redemption closer? If... We need to be, to be respectable. That you represent you..., they look at you, they see Torah, they see Hashem, you must know how to behave 100%, not 2%, not 5%, not 10%. Say, what do I care?

36:48 As long as you wear the king's uniform, you must behave in the most proper way there is. It will not help for everyone, everyone, both for a man and for a woman. Do not speak crudely, do not raise your voice, do not shout, do not curse. These are things that a person, as long as he is in a visible way, that connects him to a certain place, he must behave with derech eretz. These are important things.

37:13 If he has no derech eretz, Heaven forbid, then he desecrates the Name of Heaven. A woman walks modestly, walks with a head covering, with modesty, she must behave with derech eretz. Not that she speaks lashon hara about this one and not speak lashon hara about that one. We do not speak lashon hara, we do not behave in an unpleasant way, we do not suddenly spit, we do not behave crudely. There are things that are... all kinds of matters of derech eretz, clean hands, to be careful that the hands are clean. A person touched food, touches, you know, I, thank Hashem, I never touch food, ever, since I was small.

37:44 I do not touch food, only with a knife and fork. I cannot, I cannot stand it, I don't know what it is, I... nothing. The deeds of our hands, the deeds of our fathers. The custom of our fathers is in our hands, that is how you act. The custom of your fathers. You know how someone once said, why use a four-pronged fork when you can use a five-pronged one? A fork has four... Why use a four-pronged fork when you can use a five-pronged one? I use a four-pronged fork.

38:10 Herring Wow, this... Let us fulfill our obligation with your food, be healthy. Food, foods must be clean. We eat food cleanly One must always be careful about cleanliness, about the food, what we eat must always be clean. Derech eretz is things that are very, very important. Very important. That a person eats cleanly, with derech eretz, this has such great importance and merit, that you do not know what eating with holiness is.

38:40 More, one can achieve a rectification of the soul by eating with holiness more than a person does by fasting and taking fasts. To eat with derech eretz. But what is important is that people will always look at a person and say: He sanctifies the Name of Heaven. What derech eretz, what conduct. Imagine what happens to a person who eats crudely, and makes a mess, and leaves filth, and behaves in an unpleasant way, and shouts and so on, and after that he prays to the Holy One, blessed be He. What do they say to him?

39:08 Who is this person? What conduct does he have? He does not measure up in anything. One must always be measured as a person who has derech eretz, modesty, these things. The Gemara in Tractate Pesachim, page 112, there Rabbi Shimon says what the Holy One, blessed be He, loves, that He says, "I do not love them." But there are many things, all kinds, by which every person is measured in character traits, in his anger, in giving.

39:32 There are many kinds by which people can be checked, what the Holy One, blessed be He, loves and what He does not love. But the simple things, which sometimes we do not pay attention to and do not look at, sometimes they are the main things, that they, they are the fundamentals of the beginning of a person drawing close to the Holy One, blessed be He. Sometimes we do not notice, and we are not careful with this. These are very simple things, that have importance and closeness to the Holy One, blessed be He.

39:58 Therefore always be careful, there are no things more important than this. Be careful about derech eretz, about speech, with courtesy, with calm, with patience toward every person, at all times, with patience, with derech eretz, with cleanliness, in eating cleanly, to see that there are no leftovers of food on the hands, a person cleaned, cleaned his fingernails. Not for nothing must a person be careful about these things before Erev Shabbos. Why are we careful about this? Also not for anyone in the Jewish people, after 120 years, Ma'avar Yabbok, Rabbi Aharon Moshe of Modena, writes that they prepare the person for Heaven, they prepare him with such cleanliness.

40:30 They clean him, and those who do the taharah, do this for the person. A person must always be clean, before he arrives in Heaven and also before he arrives at Shabbos. ... every place. These are things that bring a person, first of all, to purity of the soul. The soul is pure, the soul is settled There is cleanliness, the soul is settled. Always know this. This is a very, very important thing. When a person is not clean, and confused, and dirty, immediately kelipos dwell, and there are bad thoughts, and there are distractions, and foreign thoughts, and confusions, and everything becomes a mess. Therefore it is very, very important to be careful about these things.

41:06 These are the things that a person shall do and live by them. And live by them. - Rabbi, it is written that each one in Gan Eden is scorched by the canopy of his fellow, - That is about tzaddikim. - Tzaddikim. So what kind of Gan Eden is there here, he is in pain all the time? - The opposite. Because the more he rises, and they rise more, then the... then they rise in level more. The greatest joy, is that you attain the Holy One, blessed be He, more. - He sees his fellow all the time - It is like teshuvah on teshuvah. Do you remember? Were you there for what I spoke about teshuvah on teshuvah?

41:33 The more you... After all, the tzaddikim attain the Holy One, blessed be He. And between this tzaddik and that tzaddik there is a difference like heaven and earth. He attains the Holy One, blessed be He, much more. - He has pain at that time, but. - It is not pain, like knowing the greatness of Hashem. The opposite. They want there to be a revelation of the Holy One, blessed be He. There is no pain in this, if he has pain he is not a tzaddik, what is in him...?! It is as if, why do I also not merit to be included?! But it is not pain. It is not pain. It is joy that I can rise through it.

41:58 That I am doing teshuvah on teshuvah now. Why are you doing teshuvah this year? What changed this Yom Kippur from Yom Kippur last year? This year I attained the greatness of the Holy One, blessed be He, much more than last year. The teshuvah that I do today is teshuvah for how I even did such a teshuvah last year before Hashem, when I did not know His greatness. Now a Jew will sit here, sit and learn Torah all year, sit and learn, rise, in elevation, in holiness, in fear of Heaven, will rise and elevate more.

42:24 He will arrive next year, he will cry. Tell him, why are you crying? Last year you did not cry. He said to you, you know how much I learned only this year? How grave is desecrating Shabbos. Should I not cry over this, over all the Shabbosos that I desecrated? That is to say, what he attained this year he attained much more. So he, as it were, rose in level because he does teshuvah for the teshuvah that he did last year. So sometimes the level is that they rise more, and with tzaddikim it is the attainment of the greatness of the Holy One, blessed be He.

42:52 When he sees his fellow who attains more?, does it pain him? For this, all the tzaddikim must be included in one tzaddik. They must make unity among the tzaddikim too, they must make unity in the whole world. They must make unity in the whole world. They must know that there is no dispute, nothing. There is only one Hashem, one Torah and one people. That's it. That's it. - Rabbi, are there opinions? that Mashiach, that Mashiach, that he will arrive soon, and it is writ...

43:21 and it is written that a person must believe every day that Mashiach will arrive today. - Right. So why do the opinions say that Mashiach will arrive in..., that he will arrive after that? After... - Good question. After the... He is asking, when... Gao, how did you say? Ask, my dear You are too cute.

43:45 Are you embarrassed to ask? Do you want a microphone? Be a singer. I did not understand the question a little. Do you want to repeat it again? There are opinions that Mashiach will arrive after this. Arrive after what? After the unity and the... and this, and it is also written that... that a person must believe that every day Mashiach will arrive. Right. So...

44:09 How does this work out. He says there is no unity yet today. We can truly look forward today to that which is serious, that he can arrive at a time that there will be something. All the actions, this can be. A generation that is entirely guilty, a generation that is entirely innocent. What is the question? If I must believe that he will arrive today, the matters of unity have not yet arrived, so how will he arrive today? That is his question. This I understood I did not understand. So Mashiach will come every day?

44:34 One must believe that Mashiach will arrive every day. Right. Right. That I believe..., that as if Mashiach, I know that Mashiach will arrive today. And it is written that Mashiach will arrive after that. So this does not give the strength to do it. It means I do not need to make the hope every day. Because I know that Mashiach will arrive after that. ... Nice, good, in Eruvin the Gemara says, "Behold I am a nazir on the day that ben David comes," it is permitted wine...

45:04 on Shabbos. On Yom Tov. It is permitted. Why? There is no concern that Mashiach will come. Right? Mashiach will not come on Shabbos. He will not come on Yom Tov. So it is permitted to drink. But it is forbidden on every day. Why? Why? Every day Mashiach can come. Every moment Mashiach can come. Today, tomorrow, tomorrow... every day he can come. But we cannot know when he will come.

45:29 Because it is the time of the Holy One, blessed be He. The Holy One, blessed be He, decides when he will come, how he will come, and in what form he will come. There are several ways in this that the Holy One, blessed be He, will decide. After all, it is necessary that all the Jewish people want redemption. It is necessary that all the Jewish people want the Holy One, blessed be He. If, the Holy One, blessed be He, is humble if the Jewish people does not want Him to reign over them, then He continues to be in His corner. Humble.

45:53 Where you find His greatness, there you find His humility. But if all the Jewish people will say, enough, we are already sick of the falsehood. We are sick of this exile. We are sick of being ruled over. We are sick of all the yoke there is in the world. We want Hashem as King, He will send Mashiach. It seems far, Rabbi, but they do not know. They apparently will also not know. Why do they not know? They know. They live like this in... they know. I just want to explain to you a simple thing.

46:19 Understand a simple thing. The more we ask the Holy One, blessed be He, and the kingship of Hashem, you do not understand. There is nothing more joyful and better than this, than that the redemption will come. They put into our generation, into the mind, today, that... what redemption, what will a redemption come, what will come, when will it come, and why must we ask, and what redemption. If the redemption comes, it is the best thing that can ever be in the world. It means that we will not taste the bad. There will be no bad, there will be no death, there will be no evil.

46:48 There will be nothing. It is the best thing that can be. There are no more fears, no anxieties, nothing, it is over. There are no sick, no illnesses, no troubles, no disasters. Nothing. There are people who already live now and they sense redemption, no?! You can live in redemption if you live with da'as, and you truly see the Holy One, blessed be He, and you live with Him in this closeness. It is a kind of private redemption of yours that has arrived. But the general redemption, it will give strength and immunity, so that you know with certainty that there is no more this evil, that's it Think that there are no more houses of idol worship, and no more all these exiles, and all the darkness, and this fog that you see, and all the...

47:21 Now the stars came out, so the whole sky shines like this. Now that... Now think that... the stars will come out, there will be stars and there will be light like a sunrise. The sky will always shine with some light, there will be no fear, there will be no anxiety, the children will start to play with tigers, vipers will play with them instead of little gummy candies. It will be good in the world, there will be no more fear, you will be able to enter the sea, to swim without end, and a shark will come, play with you, jump with you in the water, a dolphin will lift you up, there will not be.

47:52 Today all of creation is in is in... in a mechanism of destruction. Everything, as if from the sin of the first man, everything is going to destruction. Everything. The chance that a person will enter a forest and come out alive, is nil, a tiger will come, a wolf will come, a bear will come, a viper will bite him. The chance that a person will play with a viper and it will give him a kiss, is not realistic. The chance that a person will enter the sea, and swim with a white shark, is not realistic.

48:18 This is the filth, no? Megalodon, not realistic. It will catch him, it will devour him. What is the chance? Nil, that a person comes out. And you, you see the sea at night, in darkness, with wild beasts. So the world is full of fear, because the creatures sin to Hashem, so there is a curse in the world. And wrath in the world, and creation is going toward a mechanism of the Holy One, blessed be He, cancels the...

48:43 the world cannot exist against Him. Because He says, I give people everything, what do they do? They use it to defy Me. But when the redemption comes, it means that as if all the fear and anxiety and evil will turn into peace. That is, a wolf dwells with a lamb. As if you see a wolf with a lamb. What...?! A wolf devours it. So, so a wolf with a lamb is not only a wolf with a lamb, it is... a tiger, it is a megalodon, it is all the animals and creatures.

49:12 All will arrive at a state of one. There will not be... think what, what, what a pure world, what fun there will be in the world. Everything will be one, everything will be joy, everything will be good, there will be hope, there will be no death, there will be no more, oh why is he more than me? Why is he more than me? Why is this more than that? Why is he more than that one? There will not be this, there will be no competition. There will be no jealousy and no hatred and no competition. All will know Hashem. How the Rambam concludes at the end of...

49:37 Hilchos Melachim: At that time there will be no famine and no war, no jealousy, no competition, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Hashem as the waters cover the sea. All will know the Holy One, blessed be He. No more jealousy, do you know what a thing this is? Jealousy. How many suffer from jealousy today in the generation? There will be no more jealousy, there is no jealousy. Jealousy is over, he does not envy this one, why would he control him? Why is he like this, he does not envy that one, she does not envy her? There is no jealousy. There is no hatred, no competition, no fear, no diseases, no illnesses, no death, nothing.

50:04 Do you understand what it is to look forward to the redemption? You speak of looking forward to... to... to the revelation of the King to whom we pray every day. He, all who pray to the Creator, that we do not see Him and do not... do not think about Him, only He is in Heaven in order to help us with livelihood and a match. And the connection is over. And if He does not answer too, we are even angry at Him and defy Him. This is our connection with the Creator, this is what we need, for this we came into the world.

50:30 We came into the world to see, to reveal Him. We need to cause Him to be revealed to us, to cause Him to shine His face on us, to cause Him to hide, take out the curtain that He hides behind. He hides behind a curtain, and the whole world that looks at Him, sees, they say, behold, there is the greatest G-d in the world, but He does not... He does not reveal Himself, and He gives to all kinds of powers in the world. He made in all kinds of places in the world. How many kingdoms there are in the world.

50:55 See how much wealth and kingdoms there are in the world, and how much honor. And kingdoms, and palaces, and principalities, in the whole world. Who gives all this? Who does all this? Who shares of His honor with flesh and blood? The Creator. With flesh and blood? The Creator. All the kings you see in the world, all the wealthy there are in the world. It is the Creator who gives of His honor to flesh and blood, but He Himself has no honor at all. His house stands in ruins, He has no Beis HaMikdash, He has no place, and they still do not want Him, do not talk about Him.

51:22 They do not seek His honor, His throne, His kingship, they praise all kinds of flesh and blood, they praise this one, they praise that one. Instead of praising the Name of Hashem, praising the Holy One, blessed be He, revering the Creator, loving the Creator more than any creature in the world. And you shall love Hashem your G-d with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your might. What do we use Him for in the world? We come here to the world, we love flesh and blood, and pray only that He guard this for us, and we pass our lives from time to time, we give charity and...

51:50 learn Torah, and with this we think that we know Hashem, this is not how one knows the Holy One, blessed be He. This must be learned in what I teach. You will know the Holy One, blessed be He, much better than you think. But, I explain to you, if you truly want to understand a way, there is a way in the world, it is not like this. We have a very great King, whom we must cause to remove the curtain from upon us. That's it.

52:14 That's it. - Rabbi, that is not called... that is not called waiting for the redemption. - Rabbi, it is called, Rabbi, it is called, wanting the redemption. Waiting for the redemption... It is not called wanting the redemption, it is not called anything. It is called wanting your Creator. You have a Creator, you have a great G-d in Heaven. This great G-d in Heaven, we came for Him. He is not here for us. He does not owe us anything. A notion arose as if He is supposed to serve our wishes, and that is what He exists for.

52:42 He does not exist for that. We need to give Him what He needs. Now we said in the prayer, may You reign on Mount Zion, the dwelling place of Your glory, reign over the entire world in Your glory. He does not reign over the entire world in His glory. We say it and finish the prayer, and wish everyone a good year, go home, eat, drink, go, go back to the Kollel, learn, move forward, and once a year you say, reign over the entire world in Your glory.

53:10 How does this show itself? If you do not crown Him and you do not live that He needs to reign, and that there is, there exists a King who is, who is, there is a King here. Do you understand what a king is? Has anyone here ever seen a king in his life? In order to understand? Has anyone ever seen a king? I saw one. A king? You saw a king? Surely here, he sees him every... Ah, be healthy, A king, do you know what a king is?

53:34 I will explain to you what a king is. We have all surely seen... A king. Who are the kings? The Sages. You are all wise, you are all rabbis, you are all kings, may you be healthy. I will explain to you what a king is. A king is not someone with a plastic table. Let me explain something to you. Come, let me explain something to you. I will explain something to you. A king, look, tzaddikim, a king, a king, a king is a person who has the power to kill and to save from death.

54:06 Like kings, they have an entourage and great horses and chariots and palaces of a hundred thousand meters, and kingdoms and wealth. Today we do not have we do not have a king of such stature, because no one can do what he truly wants in the world. When we want to say the blessing over a king, it is only a king who can kill. A king who has in his authority the ability to kill, and also the authority to save from death.

54:35 Today, presidents, one may say over the president of the United States that blessing, because he has this ability, but even he is not considered a king in the true and complete definition. He is not called a king. Why? Why? He does not rule over the people for a long time. At some point they can replace him, another can always be appointed in his place, suddenly he will be an ordinary man at a gas station. He will not have all his authority, he will not have all his wealth, all his chariot.

54:59 People speak of kings, they speak of dynasties of kings who were, with wealth and royalty like that, who were, ...King Achashverosh, Nevuchadnezzar the wicked king, kings who reigned in the world in very great joy, in royalty. The... the... the greatest king there ever was was King Shlomo. He ruled over the whole world. Think of Nevuchadnezzar who reigned, think of Achashverosh 127, that he, that he, King Shlomo ruled over the entire world.

55:27 He had 160 million horses. Do you know what 160 is? He truly transgressed "he shall not multiply horses for himself." "He shall not multiply horses for himself"... he transgressed that. That is an abnormal number of horses. How much room do horses alone need?! All of Jerusalem is only the horses. That is an abnormal number of horses, but just imagine. Yes. Imagine the wealth. ... He took the thousand talents of gold, in Tractate Shekalim.

55:51 On page 18, the Gemara says that King Shlomo took, took a thousand, right? A thousand talents of gold. Do you know what a thousand is? Just a thousand, a talent, to turn it into one talent for the Menorah. Do you know what that is? Do you understand? In reason, what is it to take a thousand talents of gold? To melt them down?! It is like taking ten billion dollars to buy gold with it and melt it down to produce one talent of gold.

56:15 Do you know, this is something that... This is wealth the like of which never was. So think of all this wealth, all these enormous kings. Imagine all the - the great noise, and the royal garments, and the crown, and the robes, and the gold, and the wealth, and all the awe, and the dread, and the fear that ever was in the world. Imagine all of this. That is a king. Now above this king, there is another king.

56:42 Kings. There is the King of kings. Kings kings are angels too, it is also the angels. Not to speak of the angels that are in Heaven. Every angel, you know that... that... the Samech-Mem, there are, angels have six wings. The Satan is the only one who has eight wings. He has eight wings, the Samech-Mem. He has eight wings. And imagine now only Gavriel, one wing of his is 600 times the entire earth.

57:07 The angel Gavriel, a wing of Gavriel. Take this whole globe. I am speaking also in a manner of... that already goes beyond exaggeration. One could get into this now, into... the angels and the sizes and a journey of five hundred years. Chagigah, page 15, page 16, all the... what the Gemara says and the Tosafos say. Fine, these are things that... the mind cannot bear them. The distance from one heaven to the next, five hundred years. Things that cannot be understood at all, the size and the power. Now shall we talk only about this?

57:32 I am talking about, about Gavriel. A wing. Can anyone already..., Gavriel, where is Rafael, Michael, Uriel, Nuriel. Names of angels that cannot be pronounced. Where, Metatron himself, Metatron? Alone that... that they erred about him altogether, from how much he... We are talking about, about, about kings, angels like those who are above the kings. That is already, it is, it is, it is a joke, a king, compared to the glory of the angels. Imagine, above this there is the King of the kings of the angels, the Holy One, blessed be He.

58:00 The One who created this world. Do you know what that is? The One who created the sun, the galaxies, all the heavens, the sea, all that is in them, all the stars, all the created beings, all the creatures, the height of the waves, the... the... the great crocodiles, the animals, the Leviathan, the teeth of the sharks, the... the whales, all these animals, all this power that you see in the whole world, in the universe, this is one small earth that He created out of, all that..., all that He created before Him, blessed be He.

58:34 This is the King of the kings of kings, the One who created all this. This is the G-d of Israel, do you understand what that is? Did anyone ever think about this, who is the G-d of Israel? The audience: - How did He choose us? This is the G-d of Israel, the G-d of the G-ds, the Master of masters, the Great One to whom you pray, saying: "Hashem, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise." That is Him. And He, what does He want? For what did He make all this? So that we, the Jewish people, will be here in this world and serve Him, and bow before Him, prostrate ourselves to Him.

59:02 He gave us the Torah, the greatest power, the greatest closeness, the greatest might that He can do for us, everything. He struck the... the army of Sancheriv. Do you know what that is? The army of Sancheriv, King Chizkiyahu, who was then, they go and inform him, they tell him, listen, the army of Sancheriv, an important king, is standing around Jerusalem. Come, bring the army, come, all of you, to fight. Do you know what King Chizkiyahu does?

59:26 He goes to sleep. Do you know what the army of Sancheriv is? It is 180 million legions of robbers, of robbers, marauders, who go about with stuffed animal heads on their heads. They would go with..., they would seize a person, they would tear him apart. The embl... the emblem of the army of Sancheriv, king of Ashur. Have you ever heard of the stuffed animals that there were? Stuffed animals, they would take animals, take them out from the inside, put them as masks on their faces.

59:51 Where did this begin? From the king of Ashur, Sancheriv. It is their emblem, once, of strength. They take wolves, put them on their faces. They take tigers, lions, bears, a lion, they take, put it like masks, and go out to fight. Chizkiyahu goes up to the roof, looks, sees right and left, torches of fire, all with bears, wolves, tigers, surrounding Jerusalem, and he goes to sleep.

1:00:17 In whom does he trust? And the Holy One, blessed be He, struck the whole army of Sancheriv. He left nothing of them. Shemayah and Avtalyon came out for us after that, the merit, in the merit of... that the Holy One, blessed be He, had pity on us. Out of Sancheriv came out Shemayah and Avtalyon. Rabbi, what did he actually do? He simply trusted Him? Trust in the Holy One, blessed be He, that you trust in Hashem, "Hashem will fight for you and you shall be silent." The Holy One, blessed be He, fights all the wars.

1:00:43 And Pharaoh, Pharaoh, do you know what Pharaoh was? Pharaoh was a superpower, Egypt was the greatest superpower in the world. There was no one with the power of sorcery, wisdom and strength greater than Pharaoh. In Shemos he would lift his palace into the air. He built his palace on the Nile. The Nile was a waterfall. Do you know what waterfalls are? Waterfalls, have you ever seen Niagara Falls? All kinds of wonders of the world that the Holy One, blessed be He, created in the world, the...

1:01:09 these wonderful waterfalls where the water pours down. And the waterfall pours down and it, it sprays sparks, as it were, right?! It, it it pours down and as if it pours down, and it goes back up, right?! There is spray as if it goes up. Pharaoh built his palace on the Nile, in... between the pouring down and the rising up. Now it was as if his palace seemed to hover in the air. As if he, he built it in such a way, that as the waterfall pours down and rises back up, his palace was hovering in the air.

1:01:40 Now you had to come and see this palace, you see all of Pharaoh's wealth, all the... this power, who can now fight against him? You threaten him?! And the Holy One, blessed be He, took Egypt, the greatest superpower in the world, and their king, and drowned them in the Red Sea. He split the sea for us. Do you know what this is?! Do you understand?! Now we come, we pray, to this Creator, we keep His mitzvos, His Torah, His laws.

1:02:05 One says, yes, I will strengthen myself, slowly I want to draw close. Understand how great Hashem is. Now I pray, I am telling you, to this One I pray. To this One I speak, and you think that He wants it like this, to go on for years?! That we remain in this exile, that we remain like this, another year will pass, another two years, we go, come back, come back, go, more exile, they come to the Kosel, see the Kosel, pray, kiss and leave. That is the goal, to see the Kosel.

1:02:31 For this we came into the world?! To see, to hear about this exile?! To say Tikkun Chatzos, to say once there was a house. That is it?! Finished?! We must do everything we can, to turn the world over, and to bring about the revelation of this King. To cause this King to come, and to say to Him, we are removing the curtain, and You will be revealed. That is the goal. We will cause the King, the Holy One, blessed be He, this is what we want.

1:03:05 Study my writings. I am only explaining to you, this thing depends on each and every one of you. On each and every one, from the farthest of the far, from everyone who exists, that he take care himself to lift his eyes to Heaven, to ask for the kingship of Hashem, to have in mind in "tishkon" in the midst of Jerusalem Your city, that you say "tishkon"... Truly have "tishkon" in mind.

1:03:29 You are asking the Holy One, blessed be He, you are asking for His House, to ask for Tikkun Chatzos, to learn His Torah for its own sake, to honor the Holy One, blessed be He, to love the Holy One, blessed be He, to do everything we can, so that this King will have contentment. And my prayer is that the Holy One, blessed be He, King of the kings of kings, will have mercy on us and save us Amen and that He alone, blessed be He, will be our King at our head. Amen. - What did you want, Doctor? - The Rabbi mentioned this morning that the redemption must come either with abundant mercy, or with judgment or with kindness.

1:04:00 - Yes, it is either in this way or. We read in Musaf, "Redeem us a second time, the end like the beginning." That is, the second time, like the first time, and it will be the last time - Right. - That is, that we are supposed to look forward again to a redemption with abundant mercy. That is what we ask, it is the plea for what..., the request is, that it be with great mercy, "and with great mercies I will gather you." "With weeping they shall come, and with supplications I will lead them."

1:04:24 The first time it happened only when "and their cry rose up to Him." But also, in the time of Nevuchadnezzar, there was "with weeping they shall come and with supplications I will lead them." That the Jewish people on one hand wept and were distressed, and... The redemption always came. The question is always, how will it come? How will it come? After all, you have here a very great King over you. There is a King here. You cannot deny it. No one can deny it.

1:04:49 There is a King who rules over the created beings, He decides whether there will be a plague, He can invent a plague. All the... all the diseases there are in the world, the moment the King decides there is a disease, there is no getting out of it. That is it, what can you do? Who can do anything? Who can? The audience: - Prayer for healing. Ah, the prayer for healing? And then "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good." "For His kindness is forever." Fine, that too, you need to appease the King, and that the Holy One, blessed be He, have mercy and save, it is still.

1:05:13 Even if we pray all the prayers in the world, if the King does not want, the person will not be healed. There is One who created the body, for you to be healed, He, must agree for you, you need His approval. No one can do this in the world without the King wanting it. You need to please Him, He agrees, take. - Rabbi, in what merit are we redeemed? We were born into exile and we need to go out from exile to redemption.

1:05:38 - Rabbi, is it possible to reach the Rabbi's level? The audience: - It is possible To my level? What is there for you to reach my level? Reach your own level. Your own rung, you know on what rung you are. Who said I am on a good rung at all? (applause) Be in joy, think good, I love you, I pray for you, I am happy with you. I want you to take these things, return to Hashem, strengthen yourselves, be full of hope, of joy, of vitality, of enthusiasm, of awakening, ... a moment of a miracle, "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever."

1:06:09 "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever." Say it, ... a miracle, I had a sister who had a problem with... a baby, who needed to be born, was not in the right position. She called me, what to do, I told her to read the Megillah of Esther, that is how the Rabbi instructs. Ah, I said, no, I told her to read the Megillah of Esther straight, not straight and backwards, the Megillah of Esther once. The Megillah of Esther, I told her to read a different chapter each day. No, every day a chapter? Onc... Every day a chapter. Yes. That is how I told her to read. On Thursday, it was Sunday, she called, she called and told me that she felt the baby turning over.

1:06:36 They had told her she needed an operation. But what happens then? It turned over and she gave birth, thank Hashem. "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever." Blessing, good life, good tidings. Holy children. Show this to the children. Tell us some Shir HaMaalos, come on, together. Shir HaMaalos...

1:07:09 Where is it? Where is it? Shabbos? ...? Let us see, without a vow. Rabbi, there are miracles here..., that we should tell the Rabbi. "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever."

1:07:37 My aunt was dying in the hospital four days ago on Yom Kippur I brought you the note. Yesterday she got up. She spoke, she got up. Rabbi, she got up, she spoke. "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever." Say it, say it, "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is..." Say it. "Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good, for His kindness is forever."

1:08:02 We blessed in the siddur that my mother returned, that she wants to return to teshuvah. Does the Rabbi remember? Right. My mother suddenly wants to read, and she says to me, I want to read verses, she never in her life knew what that was. On her own, by herself. On her own, by herself. "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever." Rabbi, I take upon myself tzitzis, in honor of the healing of the entire Jewish people.

1:08:26 Hands, hands. "Give thanks to Hashem for He is good, for His kindness is forever." Be strong, be strong.
