The Moshiach is Near: What You Need to Know

this video is for every single nonreligious Jew in the world very special important message for you we find ourselves in extremely difficult times who am I to be speaking to the non-religious Jews of the world the answer is I used to be one you see I wasn't always religious I didn't always have a beard have a keepa maybe you saw my movie called Orthodox maybe you didn't but I just want to reintroduce myself for people who have not been following me my name is barl Solomon and I used to be in the nightclub business I used to I don't want to talk about all the bad things that I used to do I only want to talk about the good things but let's just say is I experienced the other side of the world more than you could ever imagine I experiened the depth of hell that seemed like fun I'll never say by the way I'll never say that nightclubs are not fun I'll never say that partying is not fun and girls aren't fun and all these things aren't fun but it came to a point where the you know the fame and the fortune and the fast life and all that stuff came to a point where left me feeling feeling really meaningless a lot of mornings when I woke up some mornings I woke up I didn't even know what I had done the night before those were some of the scariest mornings and I had to piece together from stories from friends or even worse from pictures or videos from the next day and at a certain point in my life when I was about 21 years old I'm 35 now when I was about 21 years old I decided that uh I had hit rock bottom and I needed a different way to live and in my mind really Judaism was the last thing on my mind and by the way this all has to do with Israel and what we could do and what you could do and this will all this will all make sense by the end so please stick to the end of this video because it's all going to start to make sense and it's all going to become clear what's going on in Israel right now is we'll become clear from the lens of this conversation so please stick with me I decided at 21 years old I made a reality show about my business and I would I was working with uh with big celebrities and Drake was one of the biggest celebrities that I'd work with like I said I have a movie out called Orthodox you could go check it out Drake is in the movie and I would bring big celebrities to nightclubs and I made this video one day this this reality show I made a p for the reality show pilot episode and I went to go air it in front of thousands of people at a nightclub um movie TV networks that were there to scout to see if they were going to pick up the show and as I saw myself on the big screen standing for drug sex and rock and roll I said to myself you know what there's got to be a better way to live and I was ashamed and embarrassed about what I was promoting to the world and I remember walking out of the reality show premiere I found the nearest exit and I didn't even tell anybody none of the organizers the club Owners my partners my friends nobody and I walked out of the event and I hailed the cab and I went home and I closed my door and I closed my phone for days and I was re-evaluating my life and what I stood for and in my mind Judaism was not the first thing that came to mind you know it wasn't like oh I want to live a different way and therefore I'm going to try a different you know I'm going to try Judaism no in my mind Judaism was false because I had went to Jewish schools my whole life I had went to non-religious Jewish schools secular Jewish schools my whole life and in my mind it was all not true because nobody none of my teachers kept you know or practiced Judaism none of them put on Fillin kept kosher kept Shabbat so in my mind I thought that they had all done their research and I thought that Judaism was a complete farce and I started to look for a different way to live and I went to churches I went to mosques I went to I went to Buddhist ashrams I I went to Interfaith ch apples and none of it really you know satiated my Hunger what I was truly looking for and one day somebody told me go to synagogue not somebody my mother told me to go to synagogue I told her actually that I wanted to go to go to a a Buddhist Monastery in India and she had said to me before you go to a Buddhist Monastery go to synagogue So I listened I walked into synagogue I hadn't been to synagogue in so many years and I walked in and I remember feeling home I remember feeling at peace like wow this is where I belong and I went back the next weekend and I went back to the weekend after that and I kept on going back and one of the people that that was there um he was the the rabbi and he would talk to me and I remember one day I was sitting with him and he was teaching a class and he said the name Hashem Hashem is Hebrew for God and I remember I had not heard the word Hashem for so many years and when he said the word Hashem I was like oh my gosh Hashem I remember learning about him when I was a kid and I remember how much peace and tranquility and comfort the name Hashem had given to me and I started learning and growing and the Torah is so beautiful the Torah is so rich and it gave me such deep insights into where I wanted to go and it gave me deep in insights into the into world events and it was so relevant I remember sitting one night it was a I was at a Passover dinner when I was first becoming religious and I remember I was really taking the Seder very seriously and I was talking about what happened in Egypt to the Jews and how God took us out with an outstretched arm and somebody at the table looks at me and said like what are you talking about this happened this H if it happened it happened 3,000 years ago and like let's get on with life you know Barack Obama had just become uh had just become president at the time and Jay-Z had just married Beyonce at the time and you know uh there was all kinds of uh interesting gossip and the conversation turned to that and and me talking about Egypt 3,000 years ago kind of got shut down and then a year later at the ne next Passover seder I'm sitting there again talking about how the Jews left Egypt and and you know on the straight and narrow still talking about the same story the same the same Guidance the same everything and the the conversation around the table at that point had changed because uh whatever it was Kim Kardashian married Kanye West and that whatever the gossip was at the time um and I remember thinking to myself wow this is exactly what I love about Judaism is it's so rooted it's so grounded the world is so the world is so um how could I say this it it it it it's not stable the world is not stable if a person does not have God in their life the world and you're and you have to go by the whims of the world we saw this with coid we see this with everything in the news we see this with you know every ideology that comes out there's no peace you have no peace in your heart you have no Tranquility you have no stability because you're at the mercy of whatever the world's gend is pushing for you at that time and just to focus on you know on on Passover cuz we just mentioned that you know everybody is scared if I was a non-religious Jew right now by the way a lot of religious Jews are scared but if I was a Jew who wasn't religious yet and I didn't have Hashem I didn't have God in my life I would be so scared at what is going on in the world right now because according to our numbers you know there's only 14 million Jews in the world there's 1.2 billion Arabs in the world Muslims according to the numbers they should swallow us whole according to Nature they should swallow us whole there's no reason why Israel should win in a war against a billion people that want to destroy it and unfortunately there's plenty besides Muslims and Arabs that want to destroy Israel it just call it what it is okay I don't think that every Muslim and Arab wants to destroy Israel but even if it's 10% it's still a lot so if I was not religious right now if I didn't have a Shem in my life I would be absolutely petrified so I want to give you a little bit of comfort from a little bit of atrocity all right we should actually you know Jewish people have have the ability to learn from even atrocities so this is not a new story the Jewish people are not going anywhere and let me tell you why I have a list here of just some 16 of the major times where the greatest nations of the earth rise up Rose up to destroy the Jewish people as we say in the in the Passover seder that in every generation there is a nation that tries that rises up and tries to destroy us so just for fun I'm going to give you a short list of the 16 that have tried to destroy us and we're still here and we're not going anywhere so here's for fun let's go not for fun there was a lot of suffering during these times but for fun we're only going to list 16 number one the Egyptian Biblical times enslavement and oppression of Jews number two in Persia in the fifth century hamon tried to destroy the tried to destroy the Jews number three the celide empire in the second century king antias tried to destroy the Jews and the macbes ended up winning number four the Roman Empire the Jews revolted during the second temple number five bant the bantine empire in the fourth and seventh century number six the vizo uh in Spain during the sixth and seventh century tried to destroy the Jews number eight the Spanish Inquisition during the 15th century number nine Portugal in the 15th century forged conversion and the persecution of Jews 10 the Russian Empire pgrs discrimination laws against Jewish communities 11 in Poland pgrs discrimination against Jews 12 Nazi Germany during the 20th century the Holocaust genocide World War II number 13 Soviet Union during the 20th Century 14 the Arab League of Nations during various periods of time policies against Israel Jewish people discrimination number 15 Iran number 16 Arab Israeli conflict like we're seeing during the 20th and 21st century and the ongoing tensions in Israel and the Arab nation that lives within Israel so we have survived all of these not only have we survived all of these but we've thrived during all of these you know right now the Jewish people are are hurting so much we're really really hurting it's really painful there's nights that I I I can't sleep with all the pain my my heart is crying the Jewish people are mourning right now and 14 only 1,400 people were killed 1,400 Beautiful People 200 hostages and during the Holocaust and that that pain is seems almost insurmountable and we've only been dealing with that pain for a few weeks now but if you look at the Holocaust 6 million people were murdered imag and that was over a four five sixe period day in and day out murders entire families Villages wiped out slaughtered imagine the pain that must have been felt it must have been infinitely more the pain must have been infinitely more because the Carnage was infinitely more and yet the Jewish people within such a short amount of time I'm not talking 70 or 80 years within 5 years the Jewish people did not just survive but the Jewish people thrived the Jewish people bounced back with Vigor that was stronger and greater than ever and it's not because of all the reasons why secular the secular World wants to make us believe because we're educated in the best universities or because uh who knows who know Nobel prizes who knows what they say the Jewish people are successful not because we're smarter than anybody else not because we're more privileged than anybody else not because we're richer than anybody else the Jewish people thrive not just survive we Thrive because we are hashem's chosen Nation Hashem chose to give Abraham Abraham and his son Jacob he decided that the nation of Israel was chosen to be the ambassador of God's light the Torah Morality In This World and as long as God exists which is forever cuz he's Eternal the Jewish people will exist so to all the non-religious Jews in the world I have a message for you we are an eternal people because God is protecting us the god of Israel does not Slumber or sleep from where will our help come it's very nice to United States sent us warships it's very nice that President Biden we have to we have to thank him we have to have what's called in Hebrew hakar we have to give thanks to him and appreciation for him showing solidar solidarity with Israel and Britain and all the other countries that have shown solidarity and we thank them but we should know that ultimately the saving of the Jewish people will come through God himself and I have good news we know the end of the story here's a spoiler alert to the end of the story you ready mhia is coming the Messiah what the Jewish people have been waiting for for thousands of years the footsteps of the Messiah can be heard around the world the the operation if you want to call it I don't want to call it the operation of Hamas let's call it what it was the massacre of Hamas was called storm alasa Al AA Al AA mosque is sitting where the first and second basa mikdash the first and second temple stood in Jerusalem and Y and is it is exactly where the third and final Bas mikdash Temple will stand and this was their last ditch effort because they know they feel it in their bones the entire world feel feels it in their bones they know what's about to come and they tried one last ditch effort to gain control and they think that they won but in the big picture obviously they failed because the Jewish people will only become stronger for the from this the Jewish people will only become greater from this and you might be asking yourself what can I do cuz a lot of people are sitting at home right now and they're feel frustrated that they don't know what to do and the answer is to all the beautiful non-religious Jews in the world first of all let me tell you something there's no such thing as a Jew that's not religious why do we eat pomegranates on rashash sh on the Jewish New Year because it says every single Jew religious non-religious is filled with mitv is filled with good deeds filled with Commandments from Hashem just like their seeds in a pomegranate so even I don't care if you eat pork I don't care if you go out on Shabbat I don't care if you do all the fun things in the world just just know that a Jew is a Jew is a Jew and you're probably feeling that right now because when Israel gets attacked you feel it in your bones because your heart has a an affinity towards the land of Israel why because God gave the land of Israel to your ancestors to Abraham Isaac and Jacob for an inheritance forever so practically what could you do you could come a little bit closer to Hashem speak to him with your own words don't get so sophisticated hasem simple okay speak to him with your own words try to put Onin light a shabas candle give a little bit of sadaka do an act of kindness and goodness in the world because a little bit of light dispels a lot of darkness and hopefully by the time you're watching this we'll hear good news that Messiah came and we'll all be on our way be on our way to the land of Israel to celebrate in the Bas of mikdash with all of our Jewish Brothers God bless thank you for watching if you enjoyed this
