The Middle East Conflict at the End of Time

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Before I begin, um I just want to uh dedicate this year. I uh that this year should be a blessing and a merit for the health and success of the families of Regina bas Yosef Reuven and Yishaya ben Yisrael Benjamin Wolf ben Zvi Hirsch and Baruch ben Benjamin Wolf. They should all have a zechus s- uh in this shiur. uh in this shiur. I'd like to talk about something which is obviously not only the forefront of everybody's mind, every Jewish person, uh but also the entire world, you know, and try to offer uh what I think what seems to be happening, you know, based on the divine plan. Now, you know, obviously we don't know why the Ribono shel Olam does anything, actually, actually, you know, unless this becomes incredibly obvious. But it's still very important to understand the justice of God and the what obviously bothers him, so to speak, and therefore what can be his possible motives. And we have to try to learn from that. Because the Ribono shel Olam obviously runs the world, and not only that, but his will is supreme, and uh that obviously is everlasting. and uh that obviously is everlasting. And we have to really try to understand, you know, what the requirements of of the Ribono shel Olam is, you know. So, as such, I want to try to give what I think is um going on, especially from the standpoint of the divine plan, which is very, very important. Uh I'm sure everybody's walking around wondering what in the world is going on. Uh so obviously I'm going to try to deal with that. Now there are many points that I want to bring out.
