0:13 Chezki, as his name, so he is - he strengthens. Listen. Today we are in Purim. There is a question; I think many have thought about it. Why specifically is the joy of Purim beyond every other time... Whoever understands a little about the constellations knows that for Haman, the date came out truly the most successful for him, and indeed they committed many crimes, and still they committed many crimes and were saved.
0:56 But how did Hashem roll out the salvation? From the hardest place - from there He brought up the salvation. We learn this here, from Purim. For the Megillah was the last story, the last story before we went out into exile.
1:21 So this comes to teach every single Jew that even if you are in the hardest and lowest situation, and you are all full of mud, full of sins, you are deep, deep in the pit, nevertheless Hashem loves you. And even more than that, if you believe in Hashem strongly, then even out of the trouble, out of that came the salvation for us.
1:55 So if a person lives with emunah, then it can be that even out of the trouble his salvation will come. I want to bless the Rabbi here. The Rabbi is the Mordechai the tzaddik of our generation. One hundred percent. Mordechai the Jew of our generation. As to this day he has spread Torah, may his Torah and his wellsprings be spread outward more and more.
2:28 So with Hashem's help I want to bless the Rabbi that until the age of a hundred and twenty he will be able to lead all the Jewish people, amen, and all the Jewish people need the Rabbi. So I want to bless the Rabbi that the Rabbi will be able to continue on with even more strength and even more courage, much more than there is now...
2:56 And as the Rabbi has brought close a great many Jews, may he continue to bring close a great many Jews to their Father in Heaven. But right before the end I want to say something to the Rabbi. I don't know why, but many people come to ask me for blessings. So I want if the Rabbi can, if it is not hard, that the Rabbi should bless me, that all the blessings people ask of me should be fulfilled.

3:29 Amen. May it be His will that everything you bring out of your mouth be fulfilled for good and for blessing, amen. The Holy One, blessed be He, will fulfill all the wishes of your heart for good, amen. "May your father and your mother rejoice, and may she who bore you be glad." Rabbi Chezki the tzaddik, You were drawn forth - happy are you - oil of gladness from your companions. The Rabbi asked for a blessing here, so I want to bless the Rabbi, much stronger now that he asks.
4:17 May Hashem help that you will be able to go on strengthening Jews toward their Father in Heaven, amen, and may you always see nachas from all your students, amen, from all the Jewish people, and through this you will be able to lead all the Jewish people with a strong right hand, with might, with strength. And the Rabbi - perhaps the Rabbi does not see enough perhaps the Rabbi does not see enough of all the fruits that the Rabbi has brought out... all the Jews that the Rabbi strengthens.
4:50 So the Rabbi, I bless you that with Hashem's help you will be able to understand the proportions, how much you strengthen the Jewish people.
