0:00 — If I didn't have emunah, I would be jumping off the Azrieli Towers today; I wouldn't be functioning today. — There are things in this world that cannot be understood. They cannot be understood. There is no comfort... They cannot be explained either. Even someone who does understand cannot explain it to you. They have to be hidden. "The hidden things belong to Hashem our G-d, and the revealed things are ours." One has to understand: in this world you cannot understand the Holy One, blessed be He. You cannot understand what He wants. You cannot understand. Each one, He takes him at a certain time, in a certain way.

0:27 You cannot understand it. You cannot... It is only to pray to Hashem that He remove these troubles from us, that He remove these disasters from us, from the world; that these disasters should not be. I very much hope that the Holy One, blessed be He, will give you strength and hope. Amen. I am very, very sorry to hear this. But you must be strong and keep going forward. If you want to keep living and to remember the child, you must be strong.

0:54 because if you go to the other side... — If I didn't have emunah, I would be jumping off the Azrieli Towers today; I wouldn't be functioning today. — You must hold on strong. Hold on strong. — Neither I nor my wife... we have emunah, but it is not easy for us. We find no comfort in anything. — Hold on strong, hold on strong... It is like climbing a smooth wall, I know. — There is nothing. We have no comfort at all. — Hold yourself strong, and don't break in this world. It is forbidden to break in this world. This is a world - we came into the world of worry.

1:19 Rabbeinu Bachya calls this world "the world of worries." It is a world of worry. It is forbidden to break. Let us hold ourselves strong and not break. Let us lift our eyes to Heaven, let us be full of joy, let us be full of hope. Let us hold on strong, with all our strength. The Holy One, blessed be He, is with us. and He will not leave you. He will not leave you. Be sure that He is with you. He is with you and does not leave you. He took the child to be with Him.

1:45 Your child is in the best of hands, and you too are in the best of hands. As we say on Rosh Hashanah: "Know, my son, whatever G-d desires, He will do." What the King does... We will pray for His mercy, that it be awakened upon us. I have no way to even try to begin to comfort you. No one can comfort you; only the Holy One, blessed be He, will comfort you.

2:12 But all I can give you is this: I sense that you are a strong man, and you are a hero, and you will be strong. and you will hold yourself strong in this world, and never break. We must keep lifting our heads and going forward. There is still life, there are still children, and you need to rejoice in those who remain to you, and the one who has gone has not gone. He goes on living, only he is within you. Instead of being outside all the time, now he is inside...
