Call Of Moshiach 7 - Building Israel

shraga menz was perfectly well aware of who its Founders and leaders were why is it being built by people who are not religious so that they would maintain their connection with the Jewish people and not be swallowed up among the nations of the world the call of my Shia podcast with Ari goldwag you're listening to the seventh edition of the call of Messiah podcast I'd like to remind you once again this week about the safer new safer the gift of Israel right Rai Kala and he's told me that it's been released in the states can find it in your local swarm store highly encourage you to get a copy of this we're going to read a little story from this towards the end of the podcast but let's read one last section from the introduction of the and he tells us like this because you know one of the challenges and difficulties that we face in thinking about Earth Israel and thinking about our return to the land of Israel is the fact that who were the ones that wasn't only and exclusively but often the people who built the land of Israel were the secular zionists certainly in the early years and in the times when R was writing so the main proponents of the of the state of Israel were not religious and as we saw last week one of the the most essential components to returning to the land of Israel to be able to live in AR Israel is that we be the AR and we be the spiritual Hees of Abu of Abraham who was fulfilling the T and when we fulfill the T So then we're we Merit to have that special Divine Providence the that's only here in Israel but L when we look at the reality of it we look at who's in charge who's been in charge and amazingly as the years have passed the spiritual element of of Yiddish kite and of the state of Israel has gotten stronger and stronger to the point where today more than 50% the the right the conservatives which are mainly the religious parties the dumi parties the Ki parties and the traditional parties those are the ones who are the ones in power in this country so it's an amazing thing is and there's an amazing Renaissance that's going on and it's also interesting to note that as we come up against the challenges today the challenges are much different than they were in the early days of the country 76 years ago we had challenges but today it's you know we're talking about crazy weapons but of course the fact that we have strengthened our yish kite the fact that there's so much Torah learning that's going on in the land of Israel yes we know about the discussions about the draft Etc I'm not getting into that but the fact that there's so much Torah so much yish kit so much more tradition within the land of Israel has given us incredible power that's you know that goes without question but the question that does exist is why indeed or or can it be how can it be that those who are not religious were so heavily involved in building up the state so of addresses this point and he says he says AAR and sanedrin on 108b and the gar teaches us something which really underscores the fact that it it can be it can be first of all that someone who's not righteous or even Wicked it says can build the land of Israel but not just that he has a tremendous Merit it's it's considered an awesome spiritual accomplishment even though he has the wrong intentions let's see this together he says why was it that om was a wicked King of the northern kingdom of the Jewish people why did he Merit to have malus to have the kingship and not only that of course it was 10 tribes out of the 12 tribes and not only that as we'll see his kids also merited to have it it's because he built up one city in the land of Israel the tells us is speaking he says one time I was sitting in the basement what's the difference between om this wicked King who had three sons contined to be Kings after him whereas there were other kings who they didn't Merit to have Kings come out of them to continue their line so they said in the B we haven't heard the answer to this question I said to them the prophet said it's because he built up the city the city of shamon he built up he added and he built up a huge City in the land of Israel and interestingly he didn't have the most intentions he wasn't such a big sadic he was quite Wicked and his intent was he said in his mind he said look the kings of Judah they have their own capital city which is Jerusalem which is a center of teaching and a center of worship to Hashem so we're going to have in the north we're going to have the northern kingdom a different city called shron that's going to be the center for the kings of the northern kingdom which is called it's very interesting going to he brings say for his founded on calistic ideas it's hard to understand for building up a city in Jerusalem or I'm sorry not Jerusalem corresponding to Jerusalem for building up a city in Israel so therefore he gets this reward of kingship being a king and his children being Kings what's the reason uh malus is why doesn't he get a different reward because right we find that the land of Israel cabalistic corresponds to the upper sphere of malus malus means kingship we could think of it as Israel is the the king of the world the Jewish people are meant to be the kings of the world the rulers of the world Israel is the location which is meant to be the kingship of the world which is why everybody wants it right Whoever has control over Israel or Jerusalem they're the spiritual rulers of the world really since he added on a city to Jerusalem in I'm sorry he was saying Jerusalem he added on a city to the land of Israel which it means that he added on to the malus of the world the aspect of so that's why he merited himself to be a king he added on a city in Israel which is Mal so he got says even om was from one of the wicked Kings he tells us many times speaks of him establishing the city immediately it says that he did evil in the eyes of he was worse than anyone before him he went in the ways of manov was the ultimate of the evil Kings of the northern kingdom he established the city not for God's sake but only for his own sake for his own honor he wanted this to be the city the beautiful capital city of the northern kingdom even though he was a sinner and he built the city with great sins fulfilled the positive command commandment of living and dwell dwelling in and developing the land of Israel and it's a midst of every moment as I read in the safer of the gift of Isel from rala just planting just stopping and planting you're you're obligated to even stop learning in order to plant something in Isel I just could go into my backyard plant some grass and I'm doing came like Mitzvah like a star right if not for the fact that he was doing a positive commandment he wouldn't have any he wouldn't have a Mitzvah and he wouldn't have any reward and specifically he got what was the scar the reward was that he got to be a king clearly he did a rectification in the upper aspect in the in the sphere of malus up above so that's why he merited to have himself and three generations would be Kings over the Jewish people so even though he did it wrongly he did it with wickedness nevertheless he was able to accomplish this and the proof is that he received reward he became the king you can't can't deny this is very clear there's no way to refute some this kind of proof even a person who's Wicked and he denies the Torah having forbid despite his sinning despite his denial of the entire ter by being an serving idolatry nevertheless he was able through his building through the building of that city of shom to accomplish an incredible even in the upper Realms this proves that even in our times as this is talking again only 80 years ago today it's much less it's much more the religious people who are involved in actually building the land but in those days the ones who started off the building were people who were not those who were serving Hashem properly they left the Tyra the people today are not worse than om om the Torah tells us he was wicked he followed in the ways of he was worse than anyone before him he caused the people to sin so he says it would be it would seem to be the same in regards to our times that although it's being done in a way and by people who are not they're not properly doing it for the sake of heaven and if anything they're doing it for their own sake for their own destructive reasons nevertheless as we see from om it does have powerful consequences it does have powerful T it fixes the highest highest Realms and therefore we need to understand that although it's easy to see it in negative light also have to look at it in a positive light and he continues I'm not reading everything I'm skipping a little part but he continues and finishes off this introduction by telling us that the tah is kind of talking directly to the people who are actually not keeping the tah but it's a for us to hear because we are and when we come to we're helping to build through the T through building T through learning and he says like thisk says do you want to know how to overcome your enemies right and this is the question on our minds of course we need a good army we need Advanced protective weapons and offensive weapons Etc but you want to know the spiritual truth to how we can succeed in defeating our enemies it's the BK it says chapter 81: 14 and 15 it says if my nation would just listen to me Hashem says their enemies will be almost completely destroyed is saying leave behind and this was a problem by the way also in the times of this is one of the main problems that they dealt with as they built the second bikash and says that when Messiah comes there will be a similar type of return as in the days of Ezra they dealt with this problem of people who were not religious and were there were many men who had married non-jewish women it's explicit in theuk in there go look it up perhaps we'll see more about it as we study the safer but what's the what's the solution leave the spirit of the Nations that you brought with you right and that's also true of all of us when we come to Israel we we come with us with our American ideas our European ideas our Australian South African wherever we're coming from we have the a way of thinking which is more of a a g way of thinking but we need to leave that behind make sure you do everything based on the advice of the great sages of the Torah should be done in the spirit of the our is so rich with our we can solve all of the national issues that face Us in the best way possible in all times such that the land of Israel will continue to flourish in every single way in the in the best measure possible won't be any stopping we won't have any issues nationally when everything is done in the spirit of the says on the the daughters of Jerusalem don't wor the verse the daughters of Jerusalem but rather read it those who build Jerusalem Ben Builders this is a reference to the great sanadrin the great sages who stood on the arabis you can see it right behind me that was the exact place where they stood and they judged the people they guided them in their interpersonal Affairs they're the ones the Torah sag the great ones of they're the ones who have all the answers to all the questions of Life the the court has a special power they have a special to do things correctly to to give the correct direction to help the Jewish people to that and whatever they say and whatever they do it has a k it it lasts so we see that the the great sages of the Torah have all of this ability now that's what I want to read from Theon I want to just read one small section from the gift of Isel which is very much it's a little story about it's one of the great uh Torah sages of the land of America at the land of Israel but he had an incredible love for Earth Israel and he spoke extensively about the importance of living in Earth Israel and he had students who came here this is talking about in the early days of of the establishment of of Israel and he says like this this is on page 156 while Shaga menz his stor support for the new newly created Jewish state was widely known he was perfectly well aware of who its Founders and leaders were Yeshua Shi recalled rraga FAL saying that the fact that ER Israel was controlled by non-religious and anti-religious Jews was no reason to abstain from acknowledging hashem's kindness in opening the gates of Earth Israel once again on behalf of Jews everywhere right he was talking about right immediately after World War II and there were Jewish survivors in DP camps R would often say that although the leaders of the state were our religious at least there was now one country in the world that would not refuse entry to the thousands of Holocaust Survivors languishing and displaced persons camps throughout Germany and Austria he would say that a mere three years after having survived the greatest Jewish tragedy in history it was hard not to hope that the Jewish state would offer survivors a chance to begin their lives a new which was indeed true it's exactly what happened and look at the transformation as we spoke about earlier the transformation how the the the country has become more and more religious well listen to this last Point rria F often speculated as to why Divine Divine Pro Providence had orchestrated for secular zionists to play such an important role in the history of the Jewish Nation why is it being built by them why is it being built by people who are not religious and he said an amazing thing every Jew as a pent a spark of Holiness inherited from our forefathers a isakov deep inside that no matter how far a Jew drifts spark is always there perhaps sh Hashem wanted the secular zist to play a major role in building the new state so that they would maintain their connection with the Jewish people and not be swallowed up among the nations of the world and if we look at history we see how precient his words were because look at the the Jewish community in the United States of course we have the Torah Community which is very strong but 6 million Jews were lost in the spiritual abyss of assimilation in in the states while those who are living in Israel there there was hope for them there was an opportunity for them they remained Jewish they remained connected and ultimately so the the balua movement is going strong and it gets stronger and there's Hut is a channel speaking to to balich Chua it's on TV and it it inspires people to come back but that potential was there because they were part of the founding of the state so these are such important ideas we need to take them to heart try to understand it and recognize that herel this is where we belong thank you so much for listening see you again next time
