[Music] hey everyone so I wanted to uh share with you that what's been going on in Israel right now um has happened several times in the past in fact um about 2,000 years ago we were being invaded by Rome now imagine they've just invaded the entire world and took it over and just just rolling through from country to Country they came to us and we are causing them a lot of problems we are very good at defending ourselves we have a Shem on our side However unfortunately takes a turn for the worst because at that time similar to today and what was going on before October 7th there were lots of different opinions among the Jews three or four major uh factions among the Jewish nation in Israel um and the difference between then and today is that what they did back then was each group took up arms and just started fighting each other in the land of Israel as the Romans are coming Unthinkable right um and that's really the main difference between today and back then back then um they they they settled their conflicts uh in one way that's it they're going to they're going to slaughter each other Unfortunately today it's more of um you know yelling screaming uh publicly shaming um taking to social media complaining to America those types of things happened back then also but they went a step further and actually started slaughtering each other in the streets as Rome was approaching now this is Unthinkable and sure enough Rome surrounds Jerusalem cuts off their food and water and uh back then you know you couldn't just uh you know airlift you know uh Jus send air packages from like planes and Stu like that so they were really stuck luckily they had prepared for such a thing and they had warehouses full of food fully stocked that could have lasted them years and years and years and um but what happened was these armed factions in The Old City start killing each other and and and thinking of ways to demoralize and and and and win over the the other armed faction again these are Jewish factions fighting each other within the old city as Rome is encircling it to starve it to death and what they do is they burn each other's food particular one particularly one group which was extremely fanatic burnt the the the the the the city's uh supplies Food Supplies they burnt all their all their supplies so that they would be forced to fight Rome because this group uh really believed that they were supposed to fight Rome and that they would win could you imagine that uh a small teeny army fighting Rome we weren't spiritually worthy of such a miracle and the rabbis knew it the rabbis said to these people you guys are crazy this is the wrong thing to do nobody listened to the rabbis unfortunately right um and instead this armed faction of the Jewish Nation started causing a ton of problems for the Jewish Nation now thank God today it we're we're not as uh as you know we are not in such a bad place we are not arming you know you don't see every faction in Israel arming themselves however it is getting pretty terrible with these protest blaming this and that why are we blaming each other why are we causing more divide amongst our nation when we're being attacked what we need to do now is keep that inspiration that we had right after October 7th that inspiration to unify to put our differences aside and to just forget all the childish arguments and just focus on the truth and the truth is it's really hard to do that as a nation it's hard to do that in our own homes and it's hard to do that within ourselves to make peace but that that's that's what Hashem expects of us and we have to seek ways and and seek guidance for how to do that and as a nation if we hear lanara if we hear evil gossip about other people other Jews in Israel leaders uh this person should have done that this group is this that group is that ignore it it's all distraction the main the main point of this conflict the main idea that Hashem is trying to drive home is guys unite it's about time stop with the bickering stop with the fighting it's nonsense so um with that Hashem told ycal Ezekiel who was an incredible prophet in chapter 3 37 of his book he writes that Hashem told him to take two slabs of wood one right on one of them Yehuda and his friends and the other one Israel and his friends why because at that point of history there was also conflict in his generation the kingdom of Jerusalem the kingdom of of of Israel had split into two so Jerusalem was controlled by one Kingdom called Judah Yehuda and the other Kingdom of the 10 tribes was controlled by another group based in the tribe of apim and he and Hashem commanded him write yehuda's name and his friends on one slab Israel's name on the other and his friends and put them together in your hands and magically that those woods will become one those two slabs of wood will become one slab and do this in front of everyone to give them hope to show them that one day we will be United in our land as one nation we it's our job to see that that prophecy happens in our lifetime so let's do this let's put our differences aside let's focus on what we have to do to become a purified nation and we're going to bring mashia and we're going to bring a time and a Time an unprecedented time in our history that is peace and we're we're we're once we unite as a nation the world will respect us a lot more than they do today
