[00:00:01] All right, I really apologize, everybody. What could I tell you? Technology is great when it works, but when not extremely frustrating. Okay? This week, today and tomorrow. Rosh Khadesh Chajvan. Usually the talk about Chajvan has to do with getting back into routine after the month of Tishre, which is full of Yamim Tovim, of different mitzvahs, of inspiration.
[00:00:33] And Cheshvon means getting back into routine and trying to incorporate everything that we have gained, hopefully not weight gained, from our experience of the Yamim Tovim and bringing that into the month of Cheshvan, which has absolutely no Yamim Tovim at all. There are no holidays in Cheshvon. In fact, some say that's the reason why it is called Mar Chesvon. Mar Chesvon actually has two connotations, however. Mar meaning on the one hand, bitter in the sense there are no Yomiktovim, others say no mar like in Hebrew, it's a title. Mar meaning Mr. And it means something important.
[00:01:19] There is something important about Cheshvan that we need to discuss instead of just looking at it as the so called routine. Now, of course, because of the matzah of the situation in Eritzrell, it's not feeling routine at all. Absolutely not.
[00:01:41] Each of us, in our own way have been touched, whether family, whether friends. We are all like somebody posted somewhere. There's so many posts and things going around.
[00:01:52] Not everything, by the way, should be looked at. And it's really not healthy to constantly be checking and looking at things because it doesn't help. It certainly doesn't help. Anxiety doesn't help tension. I don't think it helps anybody in Eritzrael if every second you're looking at things and getting all, as we say in Yiddish, ufgecht, all upset and anxious. But as I started to say, it does not feel like routine. So I'd like to look at the month of Cheshvan. The first part of this year will be, and I might end up having to condense it a little because unfortunately, since, again, apologies for the technical difficulties and maybe I have something important to say and that's why things didn't go so smoothly right away. But whatever it is. So I was told that the themes for the months this year have to do with the mazolos, meaning every month is under the influence of a particular horoscope sign or mazel. So in order to discuss that and understand that and how that affects us, we're going to be looking. If you could, please, if you could share the source sheet. Andrea page one from Baneya Saskar, which is from Rabzvi Elimelech of Dinov. He lived from 1783 to 1841. He was a Hasida shariba, and he has discussions about all the months of the year. Each month has a particular mazel, as we said. It has also a particular letter of the olive bays associated a particular shavet, particular tribe, and even particular organ of the body and sense of the body. But I'm going to focus mostly on the Mazel. So in the sefer yitzirah, which is a kabbalistic work, and it says, this was written by Avramavinu, and it's very hard to understand it, which is why when you learn the b'yasaskar and he quotes from it, he begins to take it apart and as they say, unpack what exactly is the meaning of these esoteric sayings about the months. So he talks about the month of Hezvan, and he says, and that's what the title is, different articles. And this is the first one, the first mamar he has on Hezvan, be safer. Yitzirah himlich osnon bereach vakashar lo casser vitzarfan zebadze vitzarbo akra ba olam umar hezvan bashana vidakin benefa zachar una keva. Okay, so he says in Sephritsira Hashem took the letter nun, and he combined it with Reyach, with the sense of smell, and he made it, what is the word? He coronated it, Kashar Lokeser gave it a crown, and he combined them. There's something about the combination of nun and Reyach, which I'm not going to talk about, the tzarbo akrav baolam. And he also created an akrav, the scorpion, or the Maslow, as it's called, scorpio in the world, and marcheshvan in the year, the Dakin Bannefesh, it also is associated with the dachin, meaning the small intestines.
[00:05:25] Okay, so what's it talking about? What's the akruv? And what do we know about scorpions? And why is that important about Cheshron? And what is the message? Okay, so if you look on the left side of the sheet, there are numbered lines, and if you go down to line seven, where I have it in bold, ome atan naksar leono. And now let us go back to this inyon about the nun and so forth, vitzarbo akra baolam, and look at line eight after the parentheses akrav. If you take apart the word akrav, which means scorpion, akar Bayes. This is really what it stands for. It's an acronym for Akar Bayes. Akar meaning like ekar, the main and bays. The letter bays actually stands for bias, for the house hamakuva ye Bachodesh Azeko, that in this month in Cheshvan Akarish Baruch, who has said, let me give you the backstory to this. What happened was, if you remember, we read recently over the amantovim about the Moshlomo hamelech building, the Bayas Rishon, and that he built it and he actually finished it in the month of Heshvon. However, Hakaraj Baruch hu told him, you're going to wait almost a full year and you're going to make the Hanukkah sabayas.
[00:07:04] You're going to make the Hanukkah sabayas in Tishre of the following year, almost eleven months later. And that's when it says that they didn't fast on Yom Kippur, and they had tremendous carbonos and a huge processions and tremendous celebration. It was amazing, the celebration, the rejoicing, the holiday that took place, and the inauguration of the beis Hamikdash. Okay, so Cheshron came to Hashem, so to speak, as the chazal tell us, and had attaina complained, it's not fair, really. The Chanukah Sabayish have taken place in nine months. I was gypped. It's not fair. So Hashem says, never mind. When the third beis Hamikdash will be built. And it says, as it says in Shira Sayyam, if you say az yashir mikdash, hashem konanu yadecha, that is referring to the third beisam mikdash, that when Hashem, when Mashiach will come, Amir shem, may it be soon, and Hashem will build the third base on Mikdash. Mikdash Hashem, the mikdash of Hashem Konanu Yadecha, your hands have prepared or built. That will happen, Hezhvan. So Cheshvon will be rewarded that the third base on Mikdash will be built in that month. There's something, even though it seems like a completely routine, blase, empty, bleak month, it absolutely is not, because in the future, Hakaraj Barkle has promised that third base Hamikdash will be built in that month. That will be the tikun. And in order to even to give credence or support this idea. The gematria of Akrav of the word Akrav scorpion equals David mashiach. So I'm not doing the math now, but it should work out. And that will be the tikun. That will be the rectification of the fact that hedgeban has no yamantovim and doesn't seem to have anything positive going for it. In fact, an akrav is so negative that in halakha, if you go down to line 13, the second source from the gamara and brachos daflama giml amid Aleph, it discusses when is a person, if they're dabbing shmonesre, allowed to interrupt themselves or move from their place? And it says there on line 14, afilu nakash karu kalikvolo yavsik. Even if he sees a snake, God forbid, next to his heel, he should not stop. Omar Rafshat the second opinion from Ravshatius on line 15, lo shanu elonach. They learned only the snake. Aval akra. But if there's a scorpion, hose sake, he should stop and he can move. Why? A scorpion is much deadlier and much more dangerous than a snake. And they even bring a proof. If Hashashalam there's a woman who's an aguna and they don't know the status of her husband, where he is. He went missing. They're not sure.
[00:10:16] And it says on line 16, Nafala Guvarayos ain't Meidin Olav. Shame has for shalom. He fell. Somebody witnessed that he fell into a lion's den. It's not clear or it's not definite that he's considered dead. But nafala kafira male Nakashim Akrabim. If he fell into a pit or a ditch full of snakes and scorpions may eaten all of shemes. That for sure? Definitively you can say that he is dead, and then she would be released from her aguna status and be free to remarry. So a scorpion is considered deadlier than a steak. And why is that? If you go down to line 21, Rashi explains. Abal akrav poseik. Why lufisha akrav masukan la akotes yoser misha nakash mukhan lisho. Because an akrav is quicker to sting in a deadly manner than a nachosh, than a snake will bite. A snake will bite when it's threatened, but a scorpion will just sting no matter what, even if it's not threatened. It's considered a very deadly animal and very dangerous. Okay, so what is it about the mausolev scorpion that can. It sounds pretty horrible, actually, if you think about it. How can we possibly use this? Or what is it about it that is so deadly? Okay, just parenthetically, although it does connect with what I'm going to say if you go down to the third, actually, it's the fourth source, which is the Shemishmuel, who was the Sakachava rebbe. And he discusses Mark Hezhvan also, and discusses it in terms of the tribes, and says that Menashe is the tribe that's associated with Cheshvan. And it's the idea of sewer meira. There's a concept as if you read in the tehillim, there's a posse. It says so usually, generally in Musr or in trying to improve oneself, we would say first you should try to turn away or do away with whatever evil or bad things you're involved with. Hasva shalom and then ase tov, then you can do good. Okay. However, Yaakov avinu taught us a different derek. He said no. He said we should learn to do ase tov, because sometimes it's harder to disconnect from the bad stuff in order to do the good. Sometimes it's easier in general for a person to do tov, even though it seems counterintuitive, do all the good things. And then, so you see this. In the two months in Tishre, we had tov, what's the tove? All the mitzvahs, fantastic mitzvahs for all the yam and tob. In Rosh Hashanah, we had chauffeur, and then yom Kippur, we had som and kapara, mechhila, and so on and so forth. We had a fast day and hopefully atonement for our sins. Sukkas, we had the mitzvos of Sukkah and of Lulav and Esrog, and then we had Shminia at Seris and Simcha's Torah. So all these things of Asetov will strengthen us in a way that will give us reinforce our nishamo, so that we will be able to, in the month of Chajron, work on Semeirah, on moving away from any bad stuff that we're connected to now. It says that the twelve shvatim correspond. The twelve tribes correspond to the twelve mazalos, the twelve planetary influences, or horoscopes. Because in their.
[00:14:37] In the skus of the twelve tribes, b'na yisrael, were able to elevate higher than the mazalos. What does that mean? In other words, we believe that the mazel does have a particular influence. For example, it says in the rambam that a person that's born under the mazzle of. I forgot what it's called in Hebrew. But let's say Mars is more bloodthirsty, is muten Hashalim to be somebody who is chauffe, dhamim, hashashalam, to spill blood. So how do you channel that? God forbid, we don't want someone to be a murderer. How do you channel that in a good way? So that person could be a shokate, that person could be a mohel. They're channeling that natural tendency in a very elevated holy. And b'nestrael, we have the koach, the power to overcome our natural tendency or inclination, even collectively. So what is it about the scorpion that we can take and use and flip it to use for good? So the thing of that difference between a snake and a scorpion, it says that the snake has a very. Its poison is burning and hot, whereas a scorpion, it says, has within it whatever it is, has carirus coldness, frozenness. And actually, you see this, even the weather reflects this muzzle, that it's starting to get colder. And things that you see nature beginning to, so to speak, go to sleep. Things are starting to. The trees are losing their leaves and things are starting to rot. The vegetation is rotting. In fact, in the navi, this chodesh is called nachvam, but it's called Chodesh bull bezvov lamed from the shoresh of either rotting because everything begins to decay, or from the idea of mixing. They're mixing old feed with new feed. There isn't enough stuff, fresh grass or grain, to feed the animals. So the nature itself, we know that what we see physically is always a reflection of the spiritual. So how can we use, getting back to the scorpion idea, how can we use this scorpion attitude, so to speak, or trait of coldness in a good way? So he says that if we would use it in a bad way, the natural tendency would be people start to, so to speak, hibernate or shut down or get like they're sort of cooling off from whatever inspiration they had. Hasvashalam from the yamuntovim. Perhaps they're getting a little bit lazier going into hibernation mode. It says on the top of the next page, if you look at the source on line 43, Shaakravu Krius Yakrav represents coldness. Shahainushativo. Moshe Lahitzatzel Valley shave batel its nature makes a person become more lazy and sit without doing anything.
[00:18:03] And everything that he does, he'll do. Vikris ruach with coldness. Lobaruachandos not with excitement and with enthusiasm. However, if you look on line 44, it says, israel mishtam shimba mida hahu atsmala sormera. We, benasho can use that mida to move away from the bad stuff. How? Lahita atsel bemasim bilti rayim we should become lazy, so to speak, from any bad activities that we might be connecting to. And in fact, he says even things, physical things that we must do, because we all have to eat and drink. We are actually physical bodies, and we go to some type of work, we engage in some type of occupation in order to pay our rent or our mortgage. All those things, of course, still have to be done. We are not malachim that live on air, excuse me, we are human beings, but they don't have to necessarily be done all those physical things with the same level of enthusiasm that you would perhaps normally. In other words, use the aspect of kris of coldness and disengagement towards the physical. Okay. And that's how you can channel that particular influence of scorpio into your daily affairs and to disengage perhaps from things that were misleading you away from Ruchnius. Okay.
[00:19:50] In fact, we are told, if you go down to line 69 on the source, he's quoting the rimmen of a rebbe, Shakok, Zebrasa, Umosambachvan, Mishum, Khaiti, Ravam. The other negative aspect of Hezvan, another is that Yoravam Benivat was the one who was the first king of Israel, meaning when the Malchus, the kingship split between Malchus, Yehuda, the kingship of Judah and the kingship of Israel, he declared himself as the first king of Israel, as opposed to a king from the house of David of David. And what did he do? He created a false holiday in Cheshvan, and he actually put Agolim, it says, if you learn the Navi there in Malachim, he set up two agoim, one in Beisail and one in Dunn, one in the north, one in the south of Israel, in order to prevent Banisro from going to the Beisam Mitosh, because he wanted to maintain a grip on the population. And they should not go back or go against him and go back to the house of David. So he created a false holiday in Hezbon on the 15th of Hezman. He says, just like you used to go on the 15th of Tishray Sukas and bring carbanas. No, you're not doing that anymore. Not going to the Beis Hamikdash. You're going to go to this egel. You're going to bring sacrifices, and this is going to be your representative of Hashem. And, of course, that was a tremendous, tremendous hate on his part. So unfortunately, because Yeravam did that and breached that, so to speak, ruchniya spiritual geder, or how would you say that wall, that fortification. He created the possibility that in Cheshban, our enemies have the ability, unfortunately, to attack us and made us vulnerable. And he said, if you look historically, many times very evil decrees have come down in the month of Hezbon. Of course, this year it started a little earlier, even before the month of Hezbon. Rachman Alitzlan. It started on Shmini Atzeris. But what he does say, which is a very important point, he says, if you look down to line 72, Ukamo Bagashmius came baruchnius ma usad kodesh zelina fila. Just like in the physical, as I described, how things are decaying and rotting and so on. So the same thing is true in spirituality, that this month, unfortunately, has an association or connection with Nephila, with falling. Okay? Just like in the times of Yoravam, okay.
[00:22:50] But if you go down to line 75, you say, uvasiba kanafila yiskadesh pneha dama lasos anaf belase pri. In other words, we have to understand that the fall, in the actual fall, meaning autumn, the season, even though it seems like everything's decaying and rotting and people can get depressed and it's difficult because the days get shorter and there's sad seasonal affective disorder, which I personally have issues. I have a lot of issues with it. In bark Hashem, I use a specific light that helps me. It's been really fantastic. Thank you, Hashem. But the point is, it can seem like when you look at it on the surface, everything. It's doom and gloom and so sad, and everything is dying and it's so bleak. But what you have to understand that this is a cycle that repeats itself. And in order for the spring to come later and for fruits and vegetables and trees and flowers and grass to grow again, what precedes it is the decay. Just like when you take a seed, if you look at a seed. What is it? It's really a rot. It's something that decayed. It's not anything fresh and real. And the miracle is you put it in the ground, and all of a sudden, depending on what type of seed it is, after a certain amount of time and water and soil and sun and so forth, it starts to grow. You actually see Hamesim every year in the spring, in a sense, when you see the nature, meaning hakadosh baruch hu is putting that power into nature to rejuvenate itself. So too, in Ruchnius, even though this month seems to be a month, hasvashalam associated with nephila, with falling and know bad things and zeros, and so bleak and so sad, especially now. And yet this is a process which is shown or repeats and demonstrates every year in the cycle of the seasons, and the same way Amir Hashem will repeat to bring the gela, because we know there's a concept of, oh, it just went out of my head, meaning the seed that comes before the g'ula. And even though many, many bad things, just like it says that we have the hevle mashiach, the birth pangs of mashiach. And just like for women who have given birth, know that the horrible and the hardest and the most painful pangs are right at the end, but it's almost over. Like they say, dark is before the dawn, and it seems like it's completely intolerable and who can take it, et cetera. I'm not talking about people who get epidurals, but whatever it is. So this is a cycle, and just like it is, as I said, in nature and in the physical, the same thing will happens in Ruchnius. And this is a prerequisite for the mashiach to happen, that a lot of pain, a lot of suffering. And as the amora said, yes, I would like.
[00:26:15] I yearn for the mashiach, but I don't want to see it, meaning I don't know if I would be able to withstand the terrible suffering that goes along with it, that unfortunately, we are seeing right now in Eretz Yisrael.
[00:26:30] So that basically concludes most of the source sheets. I also made a few notes to myself to talk about a little bit more about the matzah, the situation and what we can do practically, and things that perhaps we can take on. And for the last little bit, I'll return to the source sheet, to the last page. But until we get there, I listened to some fantastic shiorim by some unbelievable teachers, as we know, of course, Rebbe's and smiles if anybody listened to it on Ou women's. It's very kadai. There is a recording of it's very worthwhile to listen to. I wanted to repeat some of her points. Even if you've heard it, I will repeat what my mother in law Shalom used to say. She was a master teacher, and she said teaching is all hazarai. Khazarai in Yiddish means like ridiculousness.
[00:27:23] Hazara, chazara, chazara. That's what teaching is. It's worthwhile to repeat it. If you've heard it before, that's okay. It's always good to hear it again and reinforce these ideas. First of all, the fact that it happened on Shabbos. This is a message to us that we need to strengthen our shmira Shabbos in whatever way we can. And each of us knows, I'm not going to tell you what to do. Each of us knows what we can strengthen, whether it's the lighting Shabbas lech ten minutes early, which is an amazing initiative, because you're bringing more light into the world. Remember what they are doing in Mashimam. Our enemies bring darkness, we fight it with light. And what greater light is there than Nehro Shabbos? Or as the rebbe said, neshek. Nehro Shabbos Kodesh Neshek stands for a weapon that is our greatest weapon. If you can light Shabbos candles early, I'm going to throw out ideas. Take what you can. Okay? Another idea is to learn hilcha Shabbos. There's an initiative now in all the seminaries and many women have taken on, and there's a fantastic book which I mentioned in my women's share, that I give for Shari Zion. It's a book in English called I'll send an email to Andre afterwards with the title. It's called learn Shabbos in just three minutes a day by rabbi Daniel Brody. B-R-A-U-D-E. But again, I'll send a link and the full title to Andrea when the class is. It's very accessible, it's very easy to understand. He builds up and you can do a few lessons a day if you want, or if you don't have time, you can do one day, you can do more the next day. So this is another terrific idea, because as the Chavitz Chaim said, if you are not reviewing constantly the laws of Shabbos, it's very difficult not Chasva Shalom to be Mahalo Shabbos. Because they're very intricate. But he builds slowly and I'm telling you, it's accessible. It really is. As I said, it's in short, easy to understand lessons. Okay, so that's one idea about Shabbos. The fact that it happened on Shminiat Seres, as Rebbe's and smile said and Shemini at Seras. What's the whole Yomtev about? It's only about the connection between us and hashem. There are no mitzvahs, there's no more sukkah, there's no lulu or esrog. It's only between us and Hashem. So that's where each of us has to introspect with whether we are really connecting to Hashem. Or as Ravalbas said, a person can learn all day or daven I don't know how many times a day, and yet not really connect with Hashem. Chas V'shalom. Whereas the rosh yeshiva Ravaran said in the short video that he made, which was also fantastic because it has become mitzvah mada. We're just saying the words, but are we thinking about it? Even if you can try and it's overwhelming, I'm not telling you to like, don't take on too much. That is the worst thing. One small thing. Say, I'm going to try to have kavana in this particular brahav. Shmona Srey, if you dive in Shmona Srey, I'm going to try to have kavana in Birchos Ashaka. If you have, say, the 15 morning blessings and maybe learn a little bit about one of them that perhaps speaks to you or resonates with you. Say you have more feeling and more intention. Like when you say matir asurim in the morning, the one who releases those who are bound have in mind the hostages or people who are bound and don't know Chasva Shalom, where their family is, have that kavanaugh in mind. So that's another idea. Shmini at Seras. The fact to have Shmini at Serez means we must strengthen our connection with our kadosh, Baruch hu. Whether it's through our tfila, our davening. Talk to him in your own words. If it's hard for you to connect with Fela, or the Hebrew is hard, or whatever it is, or it feels too rote, talk to him. Go into a room privately and speak out your heart. Connect to Baruch hu. He is always, always listening, even though you may not feel it, he is the last idea that she presented, which was fantastic also, of course, was again with Shminy at Seris. What did Hashem say? What was that Yontav about Kosher alai? Pradaschem and others have said this. It bears repeating. And that will also bring me back to the tfila I wrote at the end of the source sheets. Really, the correct dictu grammar should have been kosher. Allah Hashem says to B'yisrael, as it says, it's hard for me to separate from you correctly. It should have said Kasha Allah pray Daseinu our separation. What's pray dasrem? So many different commentaries have said your separation. The fact that you can't get it together as a nation, that each one of you has different.
[00:32:36] Whatever it is, you have a problem with this group or a problem with that person or a problem with this family member. All this is blocking Hakaraj Baruchu and blocking the G'u'because, we know that the second base of Mikdash was destroyed from Sinas, China, from baseless hatred. And unfortunately, it still exists, just like the so called joke. But it's not even a joke that people say. Why? At the end of Shmona sre, when you go back three steps and you bow to the right and you bow to the left and you bow forward, what are you really saying? It's a very sarcastic, bitter joke, but there's unfortunately a lot of truth to it. Some people might think anybody to the right of me is too religious and too from. They're fakniacht. I can't deal with it. They're not being realistic. They're not going to college. Whatever your argument is, whatever your philosophical issue is with them, anybody to the right of me is too from. Anybody to the left of me is not religious enough. But I go forward. I'm right. Okay, really? We have to learn to look at the good in everybody.
[00:33:52] Every single person from not from neighbor, friend, not friend, coworker. Find a good point about them. Everybody is a yid. I listened to a recording, it was so moving, and somebody posted on a whatsapp. And that was a beautiful, inspiring thing. I was in tears when I heard a woman called up to, I don't know what it was Chabad, and said, I want to light Shabbos candles, but I don't know what to do. I never did it in my life. I don't know what to say. I don't have candles. All in ivrit. It was all translated. Please help me. Can you imagine and the person said, okay, where do you live? She said, ashkelone, which is the south. He said, okay, you're going to give me your address. Don't worry, I'm going to send something. Somebody's going to come there with candles and write what to say. Can you imagine? People are taking on tremendous kabbalahs, people that never benchlich, that know nothing about it. Nebach, they never learned, are doing this. How much more can we increase the light when we do something to enhance our.
[00:35:00] Well, let me just. Sorry, my note, the other point, the last point I wanted to mention is aposuch in devarim, where it says, and it's one of the few places in the Chumash itself, in the Torah, where Hashem says what the punishment is for not keeping something. And I know this is a very sensitive, delicate topic, but I'm still going to talk about it. It says in parashas kitese perekhav gimel pasuk tesvov kyashem eloque misalach the kerev makaneka latzircha. This is talking about wartime, which we are in right now, because Hashem, your God, goes in the midst of your camp to save you. Vilosais oyvehala faneka, and to give your enemy into your hand. Vahya mahanecha kadosh, let your camp be holy. Vlo yerevah ervas davar. He should not see anything that is inappropriate. That's considered Erva, meaning not modest, not tanua vishav me akarecha. And he would turn away from you again, one of the few places written in a posse in the Torah, where it shows you that the power. I'm going to put it in the positive, the power of Sneus, the power of modesty, has the ability to save us during wartime. And if somebody takes on something small, things that they can do. And I heard different recordings of things of a woman who was in Eretz Yisrael, and it was incredible, and there were rockets going. She was listening to different things. She decided, she'll do something small. She's already doing things. She was showmer Chavez and Kashmir's. But she decided that even though in her home she didn't wear stockings or socks, from now on, even at home, she would put on socks, and she decided when she went outside, she would wear stockings. And that the third thing was that she would go into her closet, and anything that was questionable, she would get rid of. And as I love to quote this, I think it was my daughter's teacher who told her it was in Beis Yaakov. If you have a question, whether you're shopping or looking at your clothes, that's the answer.
[00:37:21] If you have a question, that's the answer. If you have any doubt at all, it's too tight, it's too bright, it's too attention getting, it's too clingy. It covers me, but it's clinging. Maybe that's not appropriate. Did I look at myself in all angles? Okay, everybody, I'm getting too detailed. But the point is everybody can take on something and make a declaration. I am giving this up. I am doing this, or I'm taking on a small thing. A small thing that you can do. Maybe there are people that have issues with covering their hair so they'll cover more. Whatever it is, wherever you are, start from where you are. Don't take on something that will not be sustainable. A small thing. A small thing, really. Whether it's maybe things that you're looking at in media that's not appropriate and say, I'm going to stop looking at these things. And this should be a chus for the soldiers and for the people of Eritz Yisrael and Amizra Hashem. Listen to me. And this woman that had these very small kabbalahs had a miraculous, unbelievable story of being saved. It was just incredible. I'm not going to repeat the whole thing because I don't know if we have any time or we're out of time, but I just wanted to go to that last page of the source sheet. Andrea, please.
[00:38:39] Which was a tfila, which was created by the Godole Hadar. I don't know how many years ago I first heard about it from rabbits and smiles in a shear, and I shared it with my usual shari Zion shear. But I'd love to share it with all of you as well. That can be said at the end of Shmona Sre. So I say it before I take the three steps back and it's like this on line 86. He rosamilfone alokenu beloke Avosenu. May it be your will, Hashem our God and God of our fathers, Shenizahn hara. We should be careful. From Lashan hara Mimach locs, from fighting Umisinas Hinam, and from baseless hatred, visita Bilibeinu and implant in our hearts uvalev kol amcha basisrael and in the heart of your whole nation, Israel Ahava love Bainish lurehu between each person and their fellow jew, Viyakuyam Banu and shall be fulfilled through us. The pasuk Umit Sachin vase altovaine Elohim find favor and Seikal Tov in the eyes of Hashem and me. And I want to tell you just personally that saying this fila, over the past several years, I'm not kidding you, has helped me change my perspective on people. Because again, I've shared with certain people Baruch Hashem, I was raised with a particular perspective of being extremely critical. And this has really helped me to see more good in people by verbally saying this once or twice a day. If you're not Davinik Shrones, you could still say this. Say it to yourself or say it in English. I'll send an english translation if that will be helpful. It's very cadai it just when you verbally say something, you're making yourself aware. You're bringing to the forefront of your consciousness. How are you relating to someone? Are you just going to have a knee jerk reaction of negativity? Hasra Sholom? Or are you going to stop and take a breath and give the person the benefit of the doubt and just write it off? It's not worth it. Ladies, I hope I've given you some food for thought. I really apologize for the whole technical mess up and I guess I'll have to figure that out later. For some reason, it wasn't bashir for me to be on the screen, but I hope you have gained something from the ideas that I've shared with you. I hope we daven that this month should be a month of Geolah, that we should go from to see a tremendous yeshua, and that we can all be agents of that yeshua. Yes. Each of us has power in our own small way. We are not insignificant, each one of us. Every time you do a mitzvah and say a bracha, you bring down or a ruchniistic, a spiritual light to the world. The more you do that, the more you can fight these enemies, these agents of darkness. Ladies, I wish you a wonderful chodesh. And we should hear basuros, tovos, yeshuos, vanekamos, vivias. Go al said Ekimhe, Ravi. Amenu. Amen. Thank you. Amen.
[00:42:11] Thank you so much and thank you, everybody for bearing with technical issues sometimes, believe it or not, it happens.
[00:42:23] Thank you. Thank you so much.
[00:42:26] Hopefully and get that out as well at some point. Thank you.
[00:42:32] Is there a question mark?
[00:42:36] Inspirational. Thank you. You're welcome.
[00:42:40] Thank you. Thank you. And thank you, Andrea and all the ladies for bearing with me. Again, I really apologize for that technical.
[00:42:50] I. Hashem had a different plan. What could I tell you?
[00:42:54] How do I thank you? Okay. Good night. Okay, good night. Thank you so much, everybody. Okay, bye.
