The Three Pillars: Parshat Yitro - Rabbi Kaplan on The Weekly Torah Portion

okay let's I want to finish up one point here in bashal then we're going to go on to ISRO page take take a look at page 390 maybe we uh let turn it off completely the the heat it's just about thanks okay now we have here enter amalik this is the first time we meet amalik amalik if you notice at the bottom of 390 and we have everybody knows that there is a amalik figures prominently in all of our literature and amle comes up on purm in the in the form of hon and there's actually a mits in the Torah that eventually we have to obliterate amolik men women and children and kill there should be no memory of amik that's left what is amolik about and why does amolik enter the fry over here if you take a look at page 390 so the background to amalik is that the Jewish people are traveling they get to a place called ridim and there's no water to drink so you know they instead of you know coming to Moser raenu and saying you know mosha really were kind of thirsty is there something we could do about this they they do it with contention it's they they they come over with come on Moosa we're starving we're dying of thirst over what's going why' you take us again why'd you take us out to the desert they did it in a they did it in a very very inappropriate Manner and the last thing that says that that the Jewish people moshos says take a what do you call take your staff and hit the stone and water's going to come out and this is the first time he hits the Rock and he's meant to be hitting the Rock Page 390 by the way Page 390 he's meant to be hitting the rock the second time he hits the rock he was supposed to be speaking to the rock this time he's supposed to hit okay so the water comes out and then pick it up four lines from the bottom now look at there's no uh uh there no accidents in Torah it's not a coincidence that one section follows the next he names the place quarrel and contention Al Isel because of the fight of the Jewish people asem testing God pay attention very carefully now to the wording laymore the Jewish people were saying is God in our midst or not now now Andrew your question is a good question now the other one was a good question too but now is God in our midst he just split the sea for you took you out of Egypt and split the sea is God in our midst ah well that's your question so you know the proverbial kid who's walking around the house ever happened when you were little I have nothing to do and your father says you want me to give you something to do did you ever hear that I have nothing you want or you ever hear that one oh yeah or and it was always like oh yeah no you want me to give you something no no no no I'll find something to do and you go beat up your brother or something I mean that's something and uh or or or you're you're fetching you're whining you want a whine you want me to give you something to whine about you want you're crying you want me to give you something to cry about this is all in Daddy's school they teach you this in Daddy's school this the same the the same script for all day you want to cry out I'll give you something to cry about so here you have here you have the proverbial Hashem says look at there where the Jewish is Hashem in our midst or not oh you have a doubt you want some doubt I'll give you some doubt very next word v amik amalik shows up you got a doubt I'll give you some here's some doubt have some doubt why is aik doubt look at the numerical value of amalik first of all I am is 70 me is 40 it's 110 lamid is 30 is 140 K is 100 equals 240 240 is the numerical value of the Hebrew word sa which is doubt Sam p k Sam is 60 p is 80 K is 100 saake 240 exact amount oh you got a out is Hashem in our midst or not here have some suff I'll give you some doubt you want a doubt I'll give you some doubt no coincidence what does that mean what ises what does that really mean what it means is the Jewish people had just come out of Egypt 10 plagues K yamu they're on 11 they're on 11 game winning streak there's no one in the world who doesn't know that God is intervened in the Affairs of man and his guiding the Jewish people with what we call Hash Divine direct divine intervention everybody's convinced of it remember last week we said when the water split all the waters in the world split everybody knows there's a c yamu everybody in Egypt knows there were 10 plagues the Jewish people are hot they're on 11 gamee winning streak comes along comes along a mik and what the magish Compares it to is a bunch of people standing around a boiling hot mikah you ever been to the hot Mikvah here and and and you're got some of these really hot mikf you can actually go in there and come out Half Baked you know some of these mfas you go into them and it just just just you Sizzle so so the Jewish people a bunch of people are sitting around a boiling hot mcfi scolding hot water everybody's afraid to jump in that means the nations are afraid to start up with the Jewish people they're Invincible they're Untouchable they're in awe of them one guy comes along he says I'm not scared and he jumps into the water he gets burnt but what it does is it it it takes it reduces the aura around the water it it cools off the water that means I remember when Mike Mike Tyson's the best example when Mike Tyson was at his prime you know you guys went into the ring with Mike Tyson they took you out in an iron lung you know you just it just it was not even you know the fights lasted you know if they went two rounds they were doing well you know and they just carried them out in pieces and it gets to a point where nobody wants to go in then one guy goes in there and manages to get in a couple of punches oh you know he's human he could be hit he could he could bleed just like res the guy's also carried out on a stretcher but at least you've broken you you you you've chipped away you've broken the aura the Jewish people at this point the world is convinced they're Untouchable One Nation who's got a ex to grind what do you mean there's a God don't start up don't tell me there's a God and there's Divine Providence nonsense like that what's their agenda why not why not why why would they rather deny it than than than why not the same reason everybody tries to deny it because if there's a Creator I've got responsibilities that's going to seriously impede on all of my behavior if there is really a Creator and I'm accountable to them so mik has an agenda stop the nonsense yeah they're on 11 game streak yeah they had 10 plagues all right there's this reason and that reason and splitting in a SE a magnetic it's all a coincidence it happens you know sometimes it happens that people go on a on a on a winning streak and they just got lucky you know I well depends how long the winning streak is you know who does anybody know the longest winning streak in sports history nobody knows that Dophin oh please they were undefeated they went they were the only undefeated Super Bowl team what what's what what nobody the longest win any major American sport longest win come on Jeremy it's you LA Lakers WIIL Chamberlain Jerry West 33 straight games before my time before your time it's also so the Revolutionary was before your time also you know all about that you know listen there things in life that are important you're supposed to know them so if it's important enough you'll know it if that you don't know it it means it wasn't important enough got to get your priorities straight Jeremy so the uh so so you you know you know amik is say it's all coincidence we'll attack the Jewish people now what they did was the the the reason that they're taken to Tas because it wasn't a defensive War they came across they they they they were living in a completely different region they weren't threatened by the Jewish people Jewish people heading to the land of Israel and amalik takes the trouble to ride all the way across the desert and attack them on principle not because we're that's the claim against amalik what is the doubt why is the numerical value of out they're throwing doubt into the minds of us and the entire world about the concept of of hash that there is a God who's who's involved in the day-to-day running of the Jewish people of of the world that's the doubt that's why the nature of a mik is doubt that means we all have a little amolik in us that's why we have to destroy them because physical amolik simply corresponds to spiritual amolik we all have that element of a little bit of a mik in us we're convinced we're convinced like a little bit maybe that's what we're trying to destroy that the idea of destroying physical corresponds to spiritual so in this first battle watch this this is remarkable what happens in this first battle of 390 says to yesu take go tomorrow I'll be on the top of the mountain I'll have the staff of God yesu does what Moshe says to go battle moson and go up to the top of the mountain and then the Torah is going to describe how Moshe stood with his hands upright while the Jewish people are fighting and he's daving to Hashem so Moshe Aon and go up to the mountain everybody you know Moshe you've heard of yeah Aon you've heard of so you know when you read this P it's like Moshe Moshe who who's he who's how did he get into the picture MOS I understand I where's come from says Rashi who is Rashi says it's on the which which which which P which it's lineing over here uh where is it uh right it's the middle of right column right column little past the halfway point about the 45 yard line he was the son of Miriam was her husband so Moshe Aon and go up to the top of the mountain okay and moshe's got his hands up and his hands get heavy and then Aon and on each side when Moses said they put a rock under him Moses sits down and they hold up his hands they hold up his hands and Moses sits on a rock the gor says why didn't he sit on a pillow a cushion why did he sit on a rock on the mountain so the gamorra answers because when the Jewish people are in a state of distress you should share with their distress so somebody was asking me recently about that he wanted the Fast and the Merit of the of the hostage Ages which is a beautiful thing there are people I know people who I know I have a friend who has not slept on a pillow since the since the hostages were taken and rim ki's son-in-law RIT ketki his in the beginning he was sleeping on the floor on a on a blanket on the floor he wouldn't sleep in a bed once the hostages were taken in order to uh empathize but it also kind of reduces some of their own suffering but that a person should feel yeah there's a connection to them eventually he had to stop sleeping on the floor because he got sick but he sleeps on a bed now without a mattress like keski Ki son-in-law since the time until since since the hostage had been taken so M Rao because the Jewish people are now in a state of peril M Sho sits on a rock instead of on a cushion it's a it's a it's a lesson to all of us that's one of the ideas when we fast on tisho the community is fasting right now this is not the time for person say well listen you guys fast for me I'll do poor him for you and it doesn't work that way you're it for the good and you have to fast you have to fast onti above when everybody else fasts and a person who says well you guys fast I'm not in on this so then the gamor says he will also if you're not with the Jewish people when it's difficult so you're not going to see the ultimate Redemption either so there is that idea of it that's why he sits on the Rock but let's go back this is the the part that's Moshe and go up on a mountain why okay get ready for this in payo says it says that the world stands on three things Torah Torah study the Divine service which is sacrifices Mitzvah doing any Mitzvah and which is acts of kindness there's also a mish that says which means jealousy the pursuit of honor and the pursuit of Pleasures remove a person from the world that's a m no it's got double layer of meaning number one jealousy honor the pursuit of honor the pursuit of pleasure take a person out of this world just just very very uh practically a person who's jealous eats up he could get UL sers from jealousy jealousy a person you feel when you're jealous you can actually feel a physical sensation inside it's your kishkas are being eaten The Pursuit Of Honor person pursues honor so he may overwork himself or he may steal money in order to keep up his prestige in His image and eventually may get shot breaking into somebody's house trying to steal money so he could buy a Lamborghini to keep up with the neighbors or he may just die of a heart attack because he took on so much pressure because he wanted to be the CEO because of the honor that goes with being the CEO and the pressure killed him anything it could literally terminate a person's life and certainly the pursuit of physical Pleasures whether it has to do with eating the wrong things or drinking the wrong things or snorting the wrong things or whatever it is that he does his physical pleasure that can actually terminate his life but it also means that the Kina tyan COV takes a person out of the world to come because every misdeed that we do is going to have one or more of these factors in it every single AA the Catalyst for the AA is either going to be jealousy The Pursuit Of Honor or the pursuit of pleasure and some more than more than one okay so far so good so far so good okay if a in a Godless World in a Godless world what factors are going to dominate Kina TAA and cavod if there's no God in the world that means I'm only thinking about myself if I'm jealous jealousy Reigns Supreme you know if you got it and I not only if you got it I want something like that I might want the thing that you have if it means killing a man because you want to take his wife so you'll do that too because you're jealous of his wife or his girlfriend or his car or his house or whatever he's got Ty COV The Pursuit Of Honor you know we'll uh we'll we'll do whatever we have to do to get on her even if it means like Kennedy and Nixon in the famous debate when Kennedy beat Nixon do you know that Kennedy had them arrange that the Kennedy n knew that Nixon had a propensity to sweat so he made sure that the that the temperature in the room was high so that Nixon would come across look at kind of look look sve and Deon Aire and Nixon kind of looked you know kind of like Sam will look tonight watching the watching the Super Bowl you know just just sweating you know sweating and suffering and you know that's what Nixon looked like on the uh that's what Nixon looked like on the uh on the he cheated he basically stole the El it's St kid stole the election okay for the pursuit of honor and and and and and what it called the uh passion Pleasures physical Pleasures obviously if a person goes and eats pork so he's doing an AA because of his that's going to he going to cost him the world to come or adultery or any other a person will do now in an amalik dominated world in an amolik dominated world so you're going to have these three factors what's the counter Force to each one of them well how do we overcome Kina how do you overcome jealousy the counterforce to jealousy is give me why what does that mean act of kindness to your fellow man that's the opposite diametrically opposed Kina means I resent you I'm jealous of you I resent what you've got call it Envy call it jealousy the opposite the counterforce to jealousy is obviously that I'm concerned for you I'm willing to do kindness with you I will to do with you that's the opposite of that's the opposite of Kina Kina means I'm jealous of you the the opposite is I'm concerned for you that's the counter force and if you're ever jealous of somebody by the way do something for him if you're ever jealous of somebody do something for him or tell him you're jealous of him what it's interesting you know what you know what the underlying fact why jealousy really you know it's a PK that says says recos the rat jealousy causes the bones to rat the mishle recos it causes the bones to rat you can literally feel when you're jealous it's it's eating away at you wrinkles so uh so so one of the reasons is because I think what he's thinking we project on other people this guy's got a beautiful car and I think that he's looking at me thinking haha I got the car and you don't and that's what causes some of the jealousy it's not only my jealousy I'm jealous of the car because I think that the guy's gloating I may read him maybe I'm reading him right maybe I'm reading him wrong but I certainly think that's what he's thinking you know how you get over that you walk over the guy say wow that's a really beautiful car I'm jealous of you they I'm telling you it's like letting out the steam it works I a guy in my neighborhood is Ain beautiful guy Kipper I'm jealous of the guy I like to be the kazin you know you kazin and you get the you you get some compliments afterwards and you lead the congregation I like to be the kazin I don't know that there's much salary but I like to be aaz a good friend of mine so I said to him one after one when when you know I walked up there once I said by the way I want to tell you something you I'm jealous of you I wish I was Ain he looked at me goes no you're not he thought it was he thought I was kidding he thought I was joking I'm not joking I listen it didn't keep me up at night then it wasn't that kind of jealousy but I you know I would like that I am you know I'm a little envious of the guy so I said the guy I'm envious you you know it just kind of kind of clears the air type of thing because it's almost like you feel like is hanging there so the counterforce to Envy the counterforce to envy is give so far so good Kina what's the counter Force to physical pleasure the pursuit of pleasure what's the counterforce there's only one counterforce gentlemen spirituality Torah specifically Torah the gor says I created the evil inclination tavin the Torah is the antidote there is no other antidote that helps us neutralize that drive the passion Drive especially in the area of immorality especially the area of immorality there's nothing that neutralizes the drive as much as studying Torah it's the only thing that nutr you can do a lot of mitzah by the way you can do a lot of mitzah none of the mitzah neutralize that drive Torah takes the energy out of that drive and that's what the gor says I created the evil inclination the antidote is Torah Torah study so the uh you you ever see in the they used they have in the movies you know the bad guy catch cat catches one captures the good guy and he injects him with the secret formula you know some secret disease that only the bad guy has the antidote for then the whole rest of the movie or the show is about how they got to find this bad guy otherwise the good guy's going to going to you know he's he's got this incredible uh disease that's going to kill him and uh and then of course they always find him you know at the you know at the last minute they find him like but at the end of the day no other antidote Works no matter what you try or antibiotic nothing works because there's only the one who created the disease only he knows that mad scientist is the only one who knows what the antidote is created the diseases called the Yahara only God knows what the antidote is which is Torah that's the second and what's the cure for honor the pursuit of honor is avod is the Divine service because honor says it's all about me and the Divine service says I submit to God as opposed to worshiping myself I worship God so you need in order to counter an amolik World cuz that's what would happen in an amolik World these three passions would run would run rampant how do you counter them with Torah aod oh so why did these three men go up on a mountain well what does Mosh raenu represent countering honor mosenu which one of Tor a or is Mos mosenu is Torah he brought down the Torah we even call it tor Z Tora Moshe the the whole Torah is called Moshe so Moshe goes up on the mountain in full view he's Torah Aon is in full view what is he Aon is you're right each one has other factors but what's the what's the first what do we know about our own before you're right cuz he he's a coin what's the coin is a coin god what's the coin god of OD the Divine service and what's is the son of Miriam what did Miriam do well for one thing she helped keep babies alive that's calleda gentlemen when you keep babies alive instead of killing that's a very big so Miriam represents Kad but you're not going to have a woman go up on the mountain full view of everybody so who's the next best thing her son so Moshe Aaron and Miriam and H in place of his mother Miriam they go up on the mountain in full view of the Jewish people fighting this war realize what you're fighting for you're fighting for the spiritual survival of the Jewish people because if a mik wins then you're going to have kinaa and covered running rampant in the world and if these three factors are there then clel survives and that's the idea of going up in fighting amolik because we're fighting amolik in every in every generation that's the fight it's an ideological fight against what we really stand for okay that's the that's the story now let's go on to par is and we start off with trouble right off the bat says page 394 is the high priest of Mion is the father-in-law of Moshe and he heard everything that God did to Moshe and the Jewish people that God has taken the Jewish people out of Egypt now take a look at the very first Rashi first Rashi red column what is here that caused him to join up with the Jewish people says Rashi yamu the splitting the in this battle of amalik Yeshua goes down and Yeshua defeats amalik doesn't not annihilate them God did not want them annihilated yet later on they're going to be Anni meant to be annihilated and who messes up by not annihilating them anybody know who does not annihilate anai King Saul King sha was supposed to annihilate them and he didn't so yro hears about the splitting of the sea and hears about the first defeat of amle and he joins up with the Jewish people anybody have a problem with that anybody have a question on that Rashi he's a a gomorra question he's going to become he's going to become the spitting of the sea get him to come down what's that the spitting of the sea surely that was enough excellent Bo that's good that's good see that's a gamorra question you know it's like telling you I'm just using an example let just use an example imagine it's tomorrow and I tell you that momes was the voted the MVP of the Super Bowl because he threw for over 400 yards and nine touchdown passes no interceptions and he also scrambled for yards what would you wonder about how much help did he get from the refs oh you're going to be sorry you asked that question oh you're you're going to be sorry what the obvious question is listen it's why did I include the it's enough that he threw over 400 yards had threw nine touchdown passes I don't and he ran 15 and he scrambled 50 yards ooh o i I mean okay that's 50 yards is good for a quarterback but who cares and just throwing nine touchdown passes is enough why you even throwing that why are you even putting that in I don't care if he scrambled the only thing he scrambled was eggs that morning if if if he he he went th 400 yards nine touchup that's quite sufficient why do you going throw the you know wow the splitting in a sea you know that's enough for most people exactly what exactly what you is asking that's enough for most people and the M okay so they want to battle I me it happens all the time why is that a factor why is that a factor good now you have to answer your own question what's the answer okay so the answer is like this you anybody got an answer why does Rashi throw there again rashi's quoting the medis okay the plain answer is he's just telling you the chronological order of events need Crown okay what else once is a coincidence well I mean the fitting to see with no coin inid especially 12 you know especially if there were 12 paths through the sea you know what a CO you know it's it's a it's it's pretty impressive you don't need anything more why are you telling me that why are you telling me that about the Battle of amolik yes seems to have some greater tie to the physical Battle of amolik than the what is about the Battle what is it about that battle of amolik that is a factor so mosha Feinstein says you know if ISRO sees there's a splitting of the sea remember we mentioned the medish that all the water in the world split so everybody knew about it isra is living off in midan and ISRO hears about this and he hears about a battle with a mullik and he's thinking to himself you know what a person is capable a nation is capable of hearing about the splitting of the sea and they're still obstinate enough to try to deny God I can't trust myself alone over here I better join up with the Jewish people because it doesn't mean I also maybe I'm vulnerable too that means that it's if somebody in the world could see what's happening and still be a denier so I can't trust myself alone over here I better join up with the Jewish people I need a support group over here I can't trust myself on my own that means he heard about the Battle of this the the splitting of the sea but he also hears that there's amalik is willing to go to war with another victory over amalik then amalik is even willing to go to war so how can I trust myself over here that means a person has to identify we re understand in Judaism we're vulnerable this is our argument this is why we always have an argument people say how come you have to have a m in the sh why do you need a m when you DAV a separation between the men and women the answer is because we're not on the same spiritual level we're not as as as spiritually on the same spiritual level as reform and conservative uh where they don't know the M where you know we we have weaknesses we have a weakness over here and the answer is we recognize our weakness we recognize the weakness we're not in denial we understand God created us a certain way if you don't have a m so then there's going to be mingling that's the fact in the basa mdash do you know that they had to put the women in a different area in the Bas of mdash in the Bas of mdash there was problematic mingling so they had to make an adjustment to put the women on okay we're not in Den we understand where our vulnerabilities of are if a guy says I know that if I'm alone on a college campus for example what's going to happen I better find myself a better college campus situation where maybe I can go to a Yeshiva college program and I'm not going to be facing these Temptations constantly if a guy says listen I I could go to a bar and I'll be no you won't go to a kosher bar you know go I mean that may be an oxymoron you know but but find yourself identify your vulnerability that's the first thing isra does he understands I'm vulnerable how do I know I'm vulnerable if aik is vulnerable that means I'm vulnerable too if aik could beave like that there's a vulnerability therefore I can't do that therefore he's got to join the Jewish people okay so he brings seora and moshe's children and then he comes to join Moser raenu then skip down to um sorry wrong page here that's a rule in life by the way avoid those areas listen on chabas on chabas you know I go shopping on air of chabas and there are certain foods that I know that if I eat them I'm going to pay a price later so you know I'll buy them I'll bring them into the house but won't eat them no it doesn't work that doesn't work we we with you know they you have to just die stay away from it don't bring it in I know I'm not going to feel well from it so don't don't allow yourself don't put yourself in a situation of vulnerability it could be with alcohol also it could be with anything that a person has a weakness for I know that I'm not strong enough so we avoid it we don't take it on you know just try to avoid the situation altogether okay so uh Isel comes up to join the Jewish people now right off the bat and to take a look at PK um uh with the two sons okay uh he joins the two sons and he comes to mosenu and then take a look at P Zan he sends a message to mosenu that I'm coming I'm coming to meet you I'm coming to join the Jewish people please please uh uh uh come out and greet me wants mosa to greet him so that the Jewish people are more accept ing of him because he's obviously not a uh he's obviously not one not a naturally born Jew and then look what it says say Moshe goes out to greet his his father-in-law he bows down and he kisses him they greet each other and they come into the tent take a look at Rashi on uh uh on uh p it's the left column two lines from the bottom if you find it please show the person next to you take a look atash got tremendous honor now Moshe went out and they imagine you see mosha is walking so Aron sees him he say MOS I don't know where he's going but I'm I'm going to go with him imagine Rim keski leaves his house and would have started walk so what happened if anybody saw Kos left his house anybody saw joined him these people when they came out of schul on chabas there was a whole Entourage that followed them home wherever he went people who saw joined him so mosenu starts walking out to greet his father-in-law well Aon sees him if somebody sees mosha and Aon you they're going to follow him and anybody so not of a eventually had the entire Jewish people come out say yro is greeted by basically the entire Jewish people that's a big that's a big honor so so we we learn from here from if mosu could greet we learn from here how poor it is to greet people how important it is to greet people first that's a very important thing and the gor says that if somebody somebody you know greets you first that me you know always greets you and you don't greet him and make the attempt to you're stealing from him you're taking from him that which which includes Your Wife by the way that and that that that that is something he's entitled to somebody told me a guy told me that he uh a rabbi today's a rabbi he's a BAL Chua and he became a he was moving to a certain community in America and they were living in Israel he and his wife were living in Israel they became bich chuvas over here they're moving to an established Community somewhere in somewhere in America and they were nervous because they're going to move into this community and nobody knows them and it's established Community nobody's going to nobody knows they exist so they're very nervous about it and so he goes to the first sh he goes to the sh and uh he goes there Friday night you know okay then he comes there shabas day and shabas day he davens at the sh and uh they have a Kish after the daving so he goes over to the Kish and the guy walks over and says shalam Alum what's your name you're new in town so he's like wow somebody noticed me people need to be noticed people need a basic you know you know I exist and so he tells a guy's name I said wow thing okay two minutes later another guy says wow you're new around here sh okay and he's told me no less than 15 people came up to him to say sh which is rare 15 people came up to him and what he didn't know was that the week before the rabbi in the sermon he said hey people if you see a new face in sh go up to him and say shalom don't just ignore go up and say shalom so he was the happy recipient of being the first guy in the sh after the rabbi gave this drush of the week before and and he got that's why he had 50 he said it made a soft Landing for him he says that made all the difference how did he find out about it cuz hersel the sh Grouch was a 16th guy and he came over and gave him a wet fish of a hand the rabbi said we got to greet new people and he said it didn't even bother him he was so happy he was so happy to hear that I happened by the way this happened to me once I had a guy in my sh an older man in the sh who was always this man no matter who came into the sh he went up to him and said shom he was one of these guys very friendly very so one chabas in the SCH I saw a guy sitting across the way and uh you know a different and I turned to this guy this this this older man I said I said who who's that guy over there so he looked at me he said well why don't you go say shom to him and you'll find out it's say it's what he called you know and I deserve it I why am I asking go up to the guy say sh go say hello to the guy people need that okay now isra tells Moshe um um tells him the whole story watch this mosha tells his father all the details all the travails and how hasem has saved them now watch this three lines from the top is rejoices how God has saved them from Egypt now do you remember what isro's role was in Egypt at one point what was he isra was an adviser to parro parro had three advisers not only he was an adviser what was the advice he gave Sparrow spare Moses to spare the baby who pulled the crown off his head which we're going to see later on and who was that that there was about to be a son- in-law that turns out to be a son-in-law so first of all Israel rejoices why does he rejoice and the Torah says because he sees that the Precision of God he was in on the plot he was there when he found out the Egyptians planned to drown the Jewish people and what happened to the Egyptians most they were drowned themselves and yra sees wow quid proquo what goes around comes around this is pretty impressive and therefore Yos his rejoicing is not just the death of what happened it's how it happened because it confirms the belief in God yeah let anybody understand like M has respect for him because he's his father-in-law but like yro come lately like he jailed him for 10 years yro didn't who was it who jailed mosha no mosha wasn't jailed by Israel who jailed him who jailed yro why is there a medress that yro jails him there's a med that mosha was jailed for 10 years not by by yro yeah uhuh okay I don't know how to okay I'd have to see the med I have see the med inside how to reconcile that and it could be that you know you know afterwards you just said oops sorry my bad you know some forgive I'm not sure whatever it is you see there's a this there a a there's a p in in in mle that says cast your bread on the water with the course of time you'll find it throw your bread out on the water and in the course of time you'll find it back this is a principle in life that you don't always see it right away but often in life you see that when you invest in so you do the right thing one way or another it comes back one way or another there's going to be a one way or another there's going to be a payoff down the line there's going to be some sort of payoff they had a uh they had a famous story a guy in uh in um in World War I there was a German platoon uh soldiers and they they they captured this as Italian soldiers and the commander of the platoon told the soldiers to take the Italian P prisoners into the forest and Gunn them down there's one Jewish Soldier in the German Army At This World War I he said no no no we don't we don't shoot people in Cold Blood and he insisted on that on that uh uh killing them and they then so the commander gave in in uh he then immigrated to America and he opened up a glass a Windows he was a glazier and one day he was driving by this Factory and he sees this Factory that had been fed this this Factory had a fire and all the windows were were were were thrown out on the ground and they were black and so he took his wagon hor he took his wagon and he loaded up these windows he figured he'll take them back he'll clean off the the the what's it called the uh the suit and he'll he'll make some money on and he's loading up his wagon finishes loading up his wagon goes into this abandoned building turns on a faucet to wash his hands and instead of water beer comes out of the pipes this in Chicago by the way immigrat to Chicago that's why Chicagoans are happy beer comes out of the pipes it turned out that this was during prohibition and this was a this was a headquarters one of the bootleg operations the mafia had a bootleg operations this guy's washing his hand the Beard's coming out all a sudden the guy grabs him from behind he says come with me and he pulls them into an office a bunch of bunch of Italian mafia guys there who are running this bootleg operation they said what are we going to do with this guy so we better take him out to the forest and kill him and one of the guy says well before we do we have to talk to the boss because the boss the head the boss is upstairs in his office so they bring the guy up to the boss boss is smoking a cigar they said what should we do with the guy he knows about our operations so we'll take him out and kill him and then the Boss look say just one second you look familiar from somewhere well you know uh what's your background he starts telling him and of course it turned out he says I was in the German Army and he says to him did you ever capture a platoon of Italian soldiers he goes yeah didn't you were you the guy who said to let them live he goes yeah he goes well I was one of the soldiers in that platoon so he kept us alive so but you ain't going to talk and no no no no no no know that's why I call it Bud wiser you I'm a wise guy you know I've got that wisdom so you see something you invest it comes back is you know how many years earlier that was that he kept mosha alive talk about 80 years earlier close to 80 years earlier but course BR has a uh he keeps accounts and you see in life I've seen it too many times in life you invest sometimes there's an investment you do something and funny things happen down the line okay we'll continue tomorrow with uh with yo giving advice
