0:00 - If I believe in Hashem so much, then why do I need to be afraid of the other things in the world? Let's say, from sirens or something like that. I am not afraid, because Hashem is with me. Who said one needs to be afraid? No... people run, people stop. Not running... running in order to be in a protected room - what? My wife wakes me at night, and it is hard for me to get up for the sirens. You understand what I'm saying, Rav? - One must keep the rules like the Ten Commandments. Everything connected to safety and to the protection of a person, both on the roads and in these procedures of the sirens - keeping this is like the Ten Commandments. It is truly saving life.
0:30 It is complete saving of life; it is an obligation, an obligation, an obligation. Fear - it is forbidden to be afraid, there is no place for fear. But as for caution - one must act with caution, and of course also not in panic. What does 'not in panic' mean? One does not go wild and get frightened and so on. One goes with a settled mind, but yes, to hurry and go quickly. But also, on the one hand, of course... there are people who, out of haste, can also cause themselves harm: they can fall, they can break a head, they can break a leg, fall on the stairs. So everything with a settled mind; not to panic, to be settled, but one must keep these rules very, very carefully.
1:03 Like the Ten Commandments. Once permission has been given to the destroyer to do harm, it does not distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves G-d and one who does not serve Him. You understand? At the stage when there is a destroyer and there is a moment when it is given, no one can distinguish; in Heaven it is... angels of destruction come down and strike. And this is a time of war, a time of danger, a time of the attribute of judgment, and one must be careful, one must keep the rules - there is no choice. You don't know exactly on the roads what will be, what will be, suddenly some...
1:28 And this is also like the law of a leaning wall, that a person stands in a place of danger and the wall could fall on him - they judge him in Heaven: who is he, and which one is he, that he deserves that a miracle be done for him. If the missile has to explode in a certain place, because of a certain someone, because of a certain place, that is its place to go. And suddenly a person comes and stands there, saying: I don't need anything... They look into his judgment in Heaven, they arouse his judgment above, and afterwards they can judge him for other things, and suddenly some sin he did 15 years ago is remembered before the Holy One, blessed be He.
1:55 Who needs this? This arouses judgments. One must keep the rules without any doubt. Okay? Be happy, and good tidings.
