we find ourselves in some very interesting times right now with the war in Israel and it's an interesting time to be a Jew for that matter and a lot of my friends have asked me what does it feel like right now what are you feeling how you feeling and on one hand the Jewish people are broken from the devastation of not only October 7th of course October 7th but this has been this is a generational trauma this is unfortunately this is not something that is foreign to the Jewish people my business partner he's not Jewish and he asked me you know are you terrified right now and I said to him this is part of being a Jew you know he saw the videos of what's happening in Russia with the Muslims parading and and uh and breaking into the into the airport he saw he saw what's going on and he's not stupid and he asked me are you afraid and I said to him it's literally part of being a Jew you know we've experienced 40 50 60 70 years of let's call it let's call it relative Tranquility but part of being a Jew is knowing that that the world in a certain sense is against you the para the Torah portion for this week says that Abraham was one man against the whole world the whole world was involved in idol worship and here came Abraham and he said that Idols are not real and really there's just one God and this at the time was blasphemy I mean all the great nations of the world World they had their idols and here was one man who came to challenge all of that and this deeply upset the ruling powers of the time and we see from here that the Jewish people have always challenged whatever the ruling power was that's why essentially the world cannot stand us is because we challenge their beliefs we challenge their thoughts we challenge what they believe is to be true and I'm getting a lot of messages in my inbox Lately from Arab people Muslim people all kinds of people for that matter but Mo mostly Arabs and and Muslims and they make these wild claims um aparti and genocide and colonialism and that Jews are occupying the land and the answer always has to be clear and as soon as I give them this answer everything always ends up becoming quiet the answer that I always give these people because by the way they'll always beat me they know the Accords the Oslo Accords better than I all ever know it they know the United Nations Charter better than I will ever know it they're very intelligent people don't get don't get them wrong they're very smart but as soon as I write to them that God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people and he did not give the land of Israel to the Palestinians all of a sudden they have nothing left to say it's just over they have they have no argument after that some of them will go as far as to say well God changed his mind you know the Jews sinned and therefore God changed his mind and since you sinned the land of Israel no longer belongs to you and God has rescinded his offer to which I usually reply God Is Not a Human Being God does not change his mind God is not like you and me where we're swayed by a Tik Tok video okay he believes we believe that not believe we know we know that God gave the land of Israel to us and as soon as the prime minister of Israel starts talking like that and as soon as the army soldiers are told that going into war and as soon as the United Nations is told that loud and proud by Jews all of these arguments are going to fall by the wayside I don't think anybody truly in their heart whether they're Muslim Christian or atheist okay or Buddhist or Hindu or Jew for that matter because unfortunately there's a lot of LEF as Jews okay I don't think that any person in their heart believes that God gave the land of Israel to the Palestinians they just don't so I get it I get it people want to be just people want to be kind the world right now is demanding of Israel to be moral they want morality they want to see the Jews be moral and which is funny because the Jews were the ones who brought the whole concept of morality to this world you have to understand that before the Jews came in came into the picture with the Torah from Mount Si with the Bible from Mount Si there was complete lewdness in the world idol worship on mass sexual immorality on mass Sodom and Gomorrah on mass and here came the Jews with this concept of one God one nation one set of Commandments and a guide for all of future Humanity to follow in order to bring morality to the world and here the world is trying to claim that Israel is immoral in defending its people so where does it come from it's been come it comes from this popular trend of wokeism that the underdog has to be protected at all cost costs even if the underdog is wrong the fact that they're the underdog means that they must be protected and this is not a Jewish concept it says that if there are two people that come in front of a judge the judge has to judge them fairly regardless if one is Rich or regardless if one is poor for example a rich man comes in front of a judge and brings his claim and he's is actually right and he has everything the poor man comes in front of the king uh in front of the judge and let's say let's just say for argument sake he stole a piece of bread and the judge knows that he needs the bread and what is the piece of bread to the rich man it's nothing it means nothing but the fact is is that the poor men stole it the judge's heart might be inclined to rule in the favor of the the poor men because he feels bad for him Torah says that you still have to judge in the favor of the rich man don't let that cloud your judgment so the world looks at the Arabs that are living in Israel in Gaza and in I don't even want to use the word Palestine there's no such thing as Palestine there's Arabs that are living in Israel some of them live in Gaza some them live in the West Bank and some of them are fortunate enough to live in Israel proper so the world looks at the Arabs the Muslims that are living in Gaza and they say they are the underdog therefore we will blindly support them and this is completely immoral and it's it doesn't even matter what they do their resistance is is is Justified their killing is Justified their barbarism is Justified because simply they are the underdog and this is completely not morality furthermore when it comes to the idea of morality torah's idea of morality again that's where we have to take our leadership from we don't take it from the United Nations if anything has showed us the United Nations is the last person the last body on planet Earth that should be giving any guidance on morality torah's opinion of what is considered moral at this moment there is a Commandment that if somebody's trying to kill you you have a Mitzvah a commandment to make sure that they don't kill you you have a commandment to make sure that you kill them first so while the whole world wants to hold Israel to this higher standard okay let's assume for a moment that the world genely genuinely believes that Israel such righteous people the Jews are so moral and they're asking themselves how could it be that such a moral people are willing to have civilian casualties during the war of uprooting the terrorists from Hamas and the answer answer is by the way let's I I don't think that they're asking themselves that question at least they're not prefacing with the Jews are so so moral but let's say that is their thought process the answer to the question is Morality In this case according to God's view according to torah's view is to kill somebody first that is trying to kill you at all costs and then to the people that are trying to say how could it be there's another way is you tried everything and they're fed up so you know everything goes according to people think that Torah is not relevant in this day and age but there's a popular concept that a person has to live with the times what does it mean that a person has to live with the with the paraa has to live with the the way that we divide the Torah by week okay so every week we divide the Torah Portion by 52 weeks a year and we go through the Torah the Bible every year and the week of October 7th was the first para was the first portion of the Torah portion of the of the year and that's where God says in the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth and the reason why God started with that is to tell the world that he's the one that made the world and he's the one that chooses who the land of Israel goes to and there will come a time when the world will say that the Jewish people are thieves for stealing the land of Israel and when they do you point to that first line in the entire Torah it starts off number one bestseller the Bible's in every single hotel in America pick it up and read it the reason why it starts with that line is to let the world know that since God created the world he could give the land of Israel to whoever he pleases that's number one number two the second paraa which we already passed which was the week that was the week of October 7th so we had the answer we have to tell the world it belongs to us to us to Israel enough enough of this conversation enough of this nonsense the second para is par Noah where we know that there was evil in the world and it became insurmountable and God decided that he was going to wipe the evil off the off the Earth what do you think the evil was called that God said he was going to wipe off the Earth it was called Hamas in Hebrew and then we go to the third para which is par which is God tells Abraham to leave his house to the place that he's going to show him and that's the story of every Jewish Soldier right now that is leaving his home his comfort in order to enter into battle for his country until we come to this week's para which discusses Sodom and Gomorrah which is a place that was completely Wicked that God had to destroy through fire and brimstone and if there was 10 righteous people there he would have spared it but they weren't so even God himself does not diff differentiate if there was nine righteous people by the way he would have still have destroyed Sodom and gomorah because the bad has to be uprooted it cannot it cannot be left it must be dealt with with so gentlemen and ladies ladies and gentlemen although these seem like difficult moments I want you to know that good times are coming nobody likes War it's painful for all sides for the winners and for the losers if you could even call their winners but the good news is is that you could ask any Jew from the most simple to the most sophisticated the most unlearned to the biggest scholar each one will tell you the same thing the Messiah the Messiah is upon us is coming and when he comes there's not going to be any more war there's not going to be any more famine there's not going to be any more strife and we're going to be able to serve god with one heart as one people and may that time come speedily God bless you thank you for for listen listening if you enjoy this please leave me a like please leave me a comment Please Subscribe I'm going to try to come
