0:00 - What does the Rav say? The army is seizing more young men, avreichim; the Torah is very degraded. What can be done? - It is written in the Yerushalmi, Peah chapter 1, halachah 1, that in the generation of Achav they would go to every war and would win, because there were no informers among them, there were no speakers of lashon hara among them - even though there were idol worshippers among them. We today, in our generation - not about anyone of the Jewish people - are weak; there are informers, that the Jewish people speaks lashon hara - about the Holy One, blessed be He, Himself.
0:27 When people speak lashon hara about the Jewish people, about the glory of the Holy One, blessed be He, there is so much baseless hatred and strife. So it is like it was in the time of the Gra, who said that when they began to draft young men into the Russian army, it was because they belittled Torah scholars. Because "they mocked the messengers of G-d", the Beis HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, was destroyed. That is the reason, that is the reason, simply. Rabbi Nachman said: the strife they waged against me caused young men to be seized for Russia's prison in Siberia.
0:51 It is written in Shoftim, chapter 13, verse one: "And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of Hashem, and He gave them into the hand of the Philistines." We are the people whom the Holy One, blessed be He, gives into the hand of whomever He decides. All the bodies around are nothing. - One more thing: we were here a month ago, I asked for a blessing that he get engaged, and he got engaged! Mazel tov. "From Hashem, a woman to a man," Rabbi Shmuel of Kaminka writes, in the book Avodas HaLeviim, in the name of the Baal Shem Tov, that he said that even the Serafim and the Ofanim do not know the secret of matches.
1:21 For if they knew, I too would know. Learn in my writings every week. - Yes, I learn. I listen... Every week I... these are truly wonderful things. - Yes, yes. [unclear] on the parsha, the essay. I also have the book on Pesach, [unclear]. Wonderful things. I am on the line almost every day. A great yasher koach. Good.
