0:00 Rabbi Shimon saved him in the Holocaust too, with the hand... His father is the Matok MiDvash - the Matok MiDvash that you all read. This is the father, this is his father. - We are with him. You are with him? Did you merit? Yes. Matok MiDvash. There is no commentary like what he did. There is none. That is what I told him; I call him the grandson of Rabbi Shimon. Their grandfather is Rabbi Shimon. His father is the son of Rabbi Shimon. He is the grandson of Rabbi Shimon. Rabbi Shimon saved him in the Holocaust too, with the hand...

0:25 This, yes - he gave him the onion and the bread. The story of Rabbi Shimon with the onion and the bread. Yes, it is something astounding. Most astounding. Would you like to tell us the story, so we can hear? The author of the Matok MiDvash, peace be upon him, may the memory of the tzaddik and holy one be a blessing - he was a Holocaust survivor. When he was nine years old, they threw him onto some kind of roof of trucks that were really minutes before death. And someone brought him an onion and bread, and said to him: take, eat.

0:50 He did not even have the strength to eat. He said to him: no, I can't. He said: eat, eat, get stronger, it will be all right, eat. He ate, truly got stronger, came back to himself, and baruch Hashem he was saved from the Holocaust. Later he went up to the Land of Israel, he went up to Jerusalem... and then, like this, he rose and rose like a spring that grows ever stronger, and we merited that he wrote for us the commentary Matok MiDvash on the Zohar. And men of deeds say that the one who brought him the onion and the bread was Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.

1:20 A proof of this: when he finished the last volume of the Matok MiDvash, How long, Rav? Three or four hours after, he passed away. He went to his eternal home. He finished the last volume, and returned his soul to the Creator. So he composed the commentary on all of it. He composed the commentary - when he finished the last volume, and his son continues his path. Baruch Hashem, today they are also publishing more new insights.

1:46 By the way, one can see by a hint that it was Rabbi Shimon - onion and bread. Why? The onion is hard. It ravages the body - it is like the carobs that Rabbi Shimon ate Onion and bread - these are hard things; Rabbi Shimon ate carobs in the cave One can see that Rabbi Shimon gave him specifically an onion, like carobs, which is hard on the body It is hard, it burns, it is sharp - it is like carobs, a hint to carobs Today there are no carobs, people don't eat carobs, they eat onion. Onion is like carobs, it is the same thing. So it's as if onion and bread - he gave him bread too, that is the bread of Torah: 'Come, eat of my bread, and drink' That is the hint to the Torah that he would explain, and the onion is the carobs of today.

2:23 Today there are no carobs; people don't eat carob. Instead of carob there is the onion, which is draining and hard on the body, like the carob. So as a hint, we see from here that it was certainly Rabbi Shimon. The onion of Rabbi Shimon... So writes the Sefer Chassidim, 185: Look at this thing... to look at everything - it is for his honor. Thank you very much to the Rav, thank you very much.
