[laughter] >> What I wanted The jokes like >> [laughter] [laughter] >> He needed to look up the word trace in English. That was a very good line. I'm very impressed, Ari. Khaver like this. >> [laughter] >> Now we all wanted another joke. Okay. Like this. Khaver like this. But I want to What I want to ask Yossi, if I want to ask the khaver What I What I want to ask the khaver on the Megillah as the Al Yiftah Mechaverah Metukah Locha, what I want to share with the khaver is there's a kasha in Krias Megillah and I'm not coming for last year's teretz. I actually have new ideas. I don't like asking a question and like, "Oh, well, once we sit what's hitting you? What's hitting you in the question?" I want to ask a question Shaimy and Yossi on the Megillah that I think Daniel we tend I think people miss this. I have asked grown old men this question. Like I never thought of that. I think people don't study the Megillah like present enough. >> [snorts] >> I've told you that the Baal Shem said if you read the Megillah Mafriah Lo Yotzei, means if you read it like he says if you read it that it's not relevant. I want to say if you learn Torah not present Lo Mafriah. If you don't like think what do I think today about this Lo Yotzei not Yotzei. I don't want to learn Lo Mafriah. I don't want to learn yesterday's question. Anybody who studies the story, let's say over the story, we've had got there there I would guess out of 180 guys in the Yeshiva, there's a number that don't know the Purim story. It's fine and true and sad reality. There's probably like very good reasons. They want to emotionally connect. If we say the story, Ari, there's a whole part of the Megillah that's a part that's not necessary. It doesn't add. It doesn't add take away. I'm going to explain. If anybody reads the Megillah story, so there's an Ahasuerus. Haman gets rises to great power and that's very bad for us. Haman's an Amalekite and his power translates to a decree against Am Yisrael. Ahasuerus has a wife, Vashti. He kills his wife, Vashti. In this stead, Esther gets in there. This is all part and parcel, like very integral details to the story. Esther's now in place to save Am Yisrael to reform the monarchy. If you follow the whole story, Danny, all the details are relevant to us. Except as a part of the story that seems totally irrelevant. Ahasuerus says to Haman, "I want to reward somebody in my kingdom for doing a good deed to me." Haman thinks, of course, it's me and in complete arrogance, he tells the king, "You should let him put on the crown, ride in front of him and say, 'This person the king wants his goodness.'" And he describes a scene of dignity that he wants for himself. It turns out Haman has to give it to Mordecai and Haman rides Mordecai through the streets and Mordecai is celebrated and Haman's degraded. Aaron's laughing. It's a great part of the story yearly. It's so much fun, so interesting. Haman's degraded and Mordecai celebrated. Yeah, for sure. But I don't what bothers me, it doesn't help us at all, Jamie. I don't know if you ever have, it's an irrelevant part of the story. We had a zero of destruction before. After it's so schmucky, Haman's degraded, Mordecai looks great, okay. We were in the very same position after. It literally seems like a little like a commercial aside, like funny thing in the Megillah. What did this help us? What did it do? What's this saying? It doesn't mean anything. It's so schmucky, Haman's Haman could have played pickleball also, Mordecai shut him out 11-0. That's very schmucky that Mordecai beat Haman in pickleball, but it does What does it have to do with the story of Purim? With the zero against us, every part of the story is a build-up, and each detail is like very relevant. This detail does not connect to the issue. I'm very happy Haman got disgraced. I feel great Mordecai got honored. It has nothing to do with anything. The zero against all Israel was true. Haman with Ahasuerus was clearly against all Israel. Before and after the story, nothing It's like literally we read the story in some read There's a big shot in the Gemara. We are the turning point with time. This whole story This whole story, this whole part of the story, let's let's see it. If you Just the context of this story, just the context. The kind of just when it happens is remember that day one Esther has opened up. Esther asked Ahasuerus I have a request. She asked for a party and Haman's brought to the party. So Haman's feeling like a million bucks. Him, Ahasuerus and Esther at a party. Like he's feeling very celebrated. And this is like a high moment for him. At this high moment he's humbled. But nothing changes in the bigger in the greater in the greater story nothing changes. What's happening? Why is this what did this do for us? I'm very excited Haman was disgraced. What does it have to do with the issue of Purim? It's just a nice little story of Haman when he stubbed his toe that day. Wow, yippee! I'm thrilled. I'm happy the Russia got punched. Mordecai won and he felt great that day. The gazelle of destruction toss and ultimately Haman's downfall is the next day. Esther and Amalekite the second party says to Ahasuerus Haman wants to kill me and Hashem Ahasuerus accepted and killed Haman. This detail, this part of the story seems remarkably irrelevant. What hits you right as I'm going to I don't want to hear. What hits you right as this is like a notice point that this part of the story does not seem to affect the larger story. Why is it here? What just a nice thing like very simple call you strolls worried about a tremendous gazelle. We're in a deep massive. But Baruch Hashem Haman was embarrassed. Baruch Hashem, what can I celebrate? I'm very happy. It didn't help us. Be present to that time. It did nothing for us. And for a day, I mean so for that I agree with you almost. For that day we must like smile. It was like a kiss from Hashem. It's true. It's true at best. And maybe so are you says for a day Hashem's blew us a kiss. Could be. The next day we were saved. So interesting. The Yes is a long story of Galus. And at the beginning there's a kiss. Here the next day we'll be saved. For that day we felt a little better. Maybe. I'm not I have no agenda. And I'm willing it could be such a We just read the story. So are you said maybe that's what it was. Hashem was sending us a little kiss that day. Just funny. What? You're not said it's funny this Yeah. It's funny this This is like it's interesting that this chapter is such an unnecessary chapter. We're so used to this No the cash. What do you What hits you this? But I'm happy. The cash you like? It's a real cash. The It doesn't fit any other Every detail this is a very exact story. From big summer everything's like a story woven to the Yeshua. This one is like a side thing nice. Haman got disgraced. Mordecai got elevated. What? To the Yeshua to the ultimate Yeshua. Zero. Like Yes, Aaron. Whether I I recently realized while you were saying this while you were talking about this summer is that it can represent two things. It belongs there because one it shows that Hashem will not give power to those who don't deserve it. Meaning, so if they don't deserve power, Hashem will not give it to them. And also, without this part of the story midah k'neged midah would not have happened. We wouldn't have known about it. Because in the beginning, Mordecai was more disgraced because Haman had commanded him to bow down. So, therefore, Haman was in the top was in the higher ranking. I like it, but I like a lot what Aaron is saying is very nice. Aaron's saying that it's specifically in the Megillah that it contrasts the scene of Mordecai not bowing down and he doesn't bow in front of Haman and Haman's gezeirah clear to Haman literally having some form of bowing to Mordecai. So, there's some like there's a midah k'neged midah there is that that that's a very intelligent, Aaron. >> Wasn't the turning point? Like wasn't that when This is the turning point, but but it it's the turning point maybe in like, you know, it's funny in sports if are you a momentum believer in sports? Like in a certain way momentum. Now, it's funny. Like how else would it have played out for Sukkot? Like You know what I'm asking? I'm asking I Let me just catch you up. Let me just catch you up. The every every detail you would have the Megillah is every is all necessary for the yeshua and every detail expresses all these things going on that ultimately lead to the yeshua. From Vashti being killed to Esther being kidnapped brought to the palace. It's a story of the yeshua. There's one detail Haman one is gezeirah clear against Klal Yisrael and Klal Yisrael does it teshuvah. There's that one day where Haman's top of the world and then Ahasuerus embarrasses him. Ahasuerus calls Haman in, I have a favor I want to pay back to a Yid. It turns out that the favor [music] is to Mordecai and he makes Haman lead through the streets. Haman's disgrace, Mordecai's elevated. It has nothing to do with the issue. After that story, we were in the same crunch we were before. We had a destruction against us. And that story doesn't seem even the slightest relevant to our issue. Our issue comes when Esther says to Ahasuerus that Haman wants to kill me. So that detail is What? Why did he do what? Disgrace Haman? That's a good question. Very fair question. He did want to pay Mordecai back. Why he disgraced Haman is a great question. The girl says it maybe that will help us. Why is this connected to the Purim story? It's like imagine that day. There was one day. It was between the first party and the second party. The first party Esther called. But Haman feels like a million bucks the next day. But in that day, Haman lost the pickleball game to Mordecai. I hear. I feel good. I love that Mordecai, but it didn't help us. That's my question. >> Rebbe that without this story Haman would have been killed? That would be then then I would have many cash show. >> [snorts] >> You with me? Yeah, I'm with you. Which means that the Susi and Melach, who includes Sarvana, would arrive at the aftermath of this parade. Is that right? Yes. So I'm in the garden eating my Zeresh talking to her and telling him, I don't know about this this K'vaya and this eight K'vaya Mishmana that you built. Maybe take it out. So they they only knew about that because Susi and Melach I'm in the garden. That's what it says. So the whole part this whole thing was Maybe? Maybe? Maybe? Yeah. Yeah. Meaning if that was there's no way Yeah. there's no way that Ahasuerus Joseph, do you have a question we asked? No, I like no. Pass by. I want to know the truth. I'm I'm open to shut them. Could be. >> you don't think it's the truth. Maybe. Maybe. The question I want to get I want Yossi to hear the question. There's a part of the Megillah story that's completely seems un un like no shiyachus to the neis. Is Mordechai getting honored Haman has to lead Mordechai through the street? That has no shiyachus to the neis. It didn't save us. We had a gzeira of destruction before. That story took place between Esther's two parties. And Haman has a downfall, but he still has a gzeira of destruction and it helped us zero. It's nice he was embarrassed. And but the next day we have the same problem, okay? After that great party, yippee! It didn't change anything. So why is it in the story? Cuz Mordechai had saved the king. He had saved the king when Bigthan and Teresh conspired to kill the king. He knew the language. He told Esther. I'm a double agent. She told Achashverosh that Haman wanted to kill. And so Mordechai got a gishmaka honor. No, it's part. Like now maybe I feel like Jews might No, this could have happened. So there's a gro that's very intelligent. >> say? He said something good. You could say and this is this the gro says things like this that there's a pnimiyus to the story. That Achashverosh was slowly distrusting Haman and liking the Yidden. And the fact that Mordechai saved his life and he gave big honor to Mordechai and he's like he made do notice Mordechai's into me. And then he hears Esther say that Haman wanted to kill my people. He took that that Haman's against Achashverosh. There's a distrust building and that came from here. Haman's leading Mordechai through the streets and later she says that night she says I want to tell you a secret. Haman wanted to kill Mordechai and his whole people. So Achashverosh like one second. my friend Mordechai? The ones who like me?" So, in that groz geschmack, that's a good pshat. And Yehudah is hitting that pshat. The gro says set the way I understand the gro, I believe this is how he learns the megillah. So, if you learn that way, the story is major. Without this story, this was all part of of Achashverosh coming to the Yidden. So, that's why no Reb Ezri. That is true. Reb Ezri says just that she says Reb Ezri is right. You don't even need the whole parade. All you need is that Mordechai saved his life. That night he couldn't sleep. And he says WHY DID I YOU DON'T NEED THE PARADE. REB EZRI IS NOT WHAT'S NECESSARY. That didn't save us. So, Reb Ezri is saying what saves us is that Achashverosh should hear Mordechai saved your life. The other part, oh, geschmack, he got honor. It's not That wasn't the change in side yet. That's like the part of Achashverosh's mind is changing. The parade you don't need. He helped us a lot cuz another detail that's needed. That night he couldn't sleep. He said, "Who did good for me?" And the people said, "Mordechai saved your life." He was like, "Whoa, okay." Right. You could go straight to the You helped us a lot cuz you gave more information necessary. The Achashveir the the the Haman embarrassed Mordechai. >> Can I Can I Can we rewrite history? >> [laughter] >> How would I do it? Let Let Let him not sleep. Let's say I'm going to say like nothing was done for him. Change the scene straight Okay, now bring Haman to the party and they come with There's a gallows here. And I don't know what W is doing to Mordecai. >> Right. There is a big point, by the way, that Ahasuerus sees that he wanted to kill Mordecai. That's very important detail here. Yeah, and tells Ahasuerus, "By the way, he wanted to kill Mordecai in his life." Yeah. Yeah. So, it's very That's a very And the Grus Madgish this. This, of course, gets Ahasuerus very insecure that Haman's probably my enemy, but has nothing to do with the parade is like Right. The parade is very like this thing he marches up to the street. It doesn't help for the I'm doing the parade as you're showing Haman like We don't need to show Haman It's not part of the The Rebbi's asking, "Why do I need that?" Every word from my heeby maasha Ahasuerus and told the last word of the game. Is all the Yeshua's The nays is like set up this What's bigger? Knowing something and doing it like doing a mitzvah is bigger than having it in your head. It makes sense. I'm showing that I'm doing I'm like helping the [snorts] you know, I don't know. I don't know either. It's not necessary for the nays. Like literally, there's a story Mordecai beat Haman at a pick ball to show the smack. Imagine that day like beat him 11-0. We'd all be so happy. It's so good. Except it has nothing to do with the miracle. It's just a nice thing. And I trust me, I could get I could rally behind it. I promise I would all wrote with our Mordecai. He wins 11-0. It just doesn't really connect to the nays Binyamin. Fair question? Yes. Maybe it's like he realized in that like time that like he's going to go down he's going to go down so he gave him a chance to like repent in the way. It's a warning of going to be. >> [snorts] >> My My gut My gut to that, Donny, is typically focus on us. I doubt I I don't tend to view like things are happening for Haman, who's a tremendous Russia. Let's view for us. Well, you also need to remember You also need to remember in mind that Klal Yisrael in the time was probably thinking like we're trying to hurt the Persians because if Haman was on his way, we would have all They would have been wiped out. So, this parade is a very much a very a much of giving them hope, something to cling onto. For sure. For sure. Aaron's right, and I would say that towards Ahasuerus that there's a messaging Donny, he's saying there's messaging to Klal Yisrael of hope. It's one day later. Maybe maybe the day before Ahasuerus said hope. It's like It's not not necessary. Yeah. It bothers me a lot. This kasha I'm not looking for agenda. I'm not like Donny trying to sell. I am saying that we have a lot of work in the Megillah. We're like used to the story. There's a detail here that's like There's a truth There's an hugger here. Yehuda says there's an hugger here of an similar to what Aaron said before of everything flips around. So, now Haman's walking out Mordecai in the but it's not part of the nice. It's just trouble cuz the entire miracle of the This Megillah is pure simanim. That's what it is. It's one big Megillah of pure simanim You know, in the language of Chazal, kriyas ha'Megillah. The This is our hallel, and it's hallel celebrating this. That's what hallel is. It says reading this is is kriyas ha'Megillah is hallel. It's one big pure simanim mefarsem, publicizing the miracle. And the entire Megillah is the story of the miracle. And it's brilliant. There's not like a detail subtly each law each thing set up is like exact. You could study things that you'd be shocked at from from his strange Xerxes which makes people slow reacting to his later Xerxes because of his crazy first cuz every detail is setting up the miracle. This one doesn't seem to be setting up. This is one I think it's the start of the Megillah. It's not just he remembers, >> [snorts] >> he actually honored him. And then he hears that Haman wants to kill him. It's not just like, "Oh, he did a favor for me." I I like what he's saying more like like it even's worse like and everybody I I made a big deal of this and you want to kill him. Yeah, fair. Very fair. I'll bear shot, very very fair. Something I want to read. I also think that it leads to it. I agree that it leads to it, but it's not essential. That's the Rebbe's question. I think the Rebbe's question is not essential. I think it's the start of the Megillah. It's not essential. Why does it have to tell me that? There are a lot of other things that are also essential. I don't know about the actual thing. Huh? It's part of the main thing. Every word adds to it. There are other things. It's part of it. It's the start of it. Already changed it. The remembering The remembering Haman was not the start. The story of remembering I agree what what we're missing. The remembering that much And right before right before Shushan Susa, right before Shushan Susa I'm offering a thought. I don't know the answer. I literally I did not like I'm not like saying a casual setting up. I don't know the answer. I [snorts] I want to ask it's obvious we're supposed to think about this. If you read the Megillah, there's lot there's not like some going on. It's obvious we're supposed to think. I don't I I'm not sure. I'm really not sure. There's a thought that it brings me to that I want to share with the Havurah. I don't know the answer. I don't know. It's like a And even the Gra, the Gra's gishmak, it's still like It's not There's something like the story is so airtight and exact, and this is like >> gishmak? I'm sorry. What did you say? Aryeh made it even better. Aryeh said that when he did a po'ulah celebrating Mordechai, besides that Mordechai saved his life, then he announces he deems it everybody should say this. And then you want to kill Mordechai? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shirah Chadashah, we say before Shema Yisrael, a new song, Shivchu Ge'ulim. Ge'ulim sang Hashem. Shivchu Ge'ulim. It calls Klal Yisrael Ge'ulim. Now, when do we become Ge'ulim? Ge'ulim. Ge'ulim are people who are ne'egal, if you will. We're called Ge'ulim, people free people, Ge'ulim. Shirah Chadashah, new song, Shivchu Ge'ulim. Praise the Ge'ulim Hashem Hashem as va'asayam. By the water, the Ge'ulim. Who are the Ge'ulim? People who, you know, Ge'ulah means redemption. Who were the people that are called redeemed? Us, Klal Yisrael. When do we get the title Ge'ulim? After Ge'ulah, we've been freed. And we're now called the metzi'us of Ge'ulim, people who have been freed. They're Ge'ulim. People typically assume This is how people view Mashiach. When things get very, very bad, we have a I hear people whispering in Klal Yisrael, "Mashiach's coming. Mashiach's coming. Mashiach's coming." There's something I don't like. And it's a big shailah. It's a big shailah. But people assume Mashiach's coming. They don't even know what the word Mashiach means. And Messiah is a process. Rebbe Hirsch I've seen write like this, Messiah is a process that's happening. Somebody asked the Anouilh guy, "Are you Messiah?" and he said, "We're all Messiah." And he said each person has like a piece of there's something called Messiah ben David. There's such a thing. But he's he was trying to make a point. It's not everything's terrible and Messiah rides in. This there's a movement. Things are happening now. People are learning. We're seeing Kium and Kibbutz Galios. We're seeing laid Evan turn to laid Buster. This process is going on that are producing something. Things are happening. What I what I want to express is that we can become the Golem before the Gola. And Golem get a Gola. When when when we get as we're getting certain places, Golem get Gola. When when when we think a certain way, we behave a certain way, it's not just if you get Gola, you're called Golem. Golem get Gola when when we live up to certain What I want to express is that Kla Israel in certain Matzevah and forgets who we are. The story here is we eat from the party. We forget our dignity. We forget I'm a Yid. What is a Yid about? I'm not just one of the guy in. I'm not one of the guy in. I'm good, but I have a certain role and a mission. We forgot our essence, Marcus. That's what happens. Haman then makes his Zayda's clear. The Yeshua is when we remember who we are. I want to express that seeing Haman lead Mordecai and a Yid seeing the prestige of a Yid, that was a Gola in itself. That is a Gola in itself. I'm Israelite was reminded and they saw. And now the gzera gets repealed. We're golem already. You have. Seeing Mordecai led was already I quote like an inner goolah. There's a goolah of sorts. They were like, "Oh, I forgot who we are, what we're about." The prestige and the coveted of a Yid, that's the real story. If you know what an Amalek is, an Amalek attacks the dignity of a Yid. There's the middle clappy mela. An Amalek attacks the prestige and honor of a Yid. That's what an Amalek is. Mordecai representing Am Yisrael and getting gedulah is an inner goolah. It didn't save us. It saved us in a pre-miscue way. It reminded Am Yisrael and it coincided with us understanding we're Am Yisrael. I I point this out when you study the Megillah. It's interesting that we all rally behind Mordecai. Mordecai seems to be the one who causes the gzera. He doesn't bow to Haman. Haman says, "I'm killing the entire people." And then Mordecai has the audacity to tell Am Yisrael, "You know why there's a gzera against us? We forgot we're Yidden. And it's because of you guys for bowing. It's because of us for going to the party." If you look externally, it looks like it's for Mordecai remembering he's a Yid. But our leader tells us the truth and Am Yisrael buys the words of the leader. And and Mordecai HaTzaddik says that the problem of the gzera is we forgot who we are. Whether that means we ate from the party, we bowed to Haman, we forgot who we are. That's the the gzera. Mordecai is prestige and honor is an inner goolah for us. That's what I want to express. So, did it cause the external goolah? No. But it allowed us to become goolem. At that point, and again, it may be even a a sign that we were goolem. We accepted Mordecai. We accept who we are, what we're supposed to be. At that point, Mordecai gets celebrated. And the very person Amalek whose gezer kliah, who denies the Yid, yesh naya mecha, who puts down the Yid, is leading the leader of the Yidden. It could be there's an inner golem with that. That's what I want to express. I don't know the answer and I'm and I don't I don't say oh so that's the pshat. There's a It doesn't seem to connect at all to the outer goolah. I want to express that we became golem with this story. Am Yisrael was reminded of of the Yid, of the stature of the Yid. If I I've said this here many times that before we davened for goolah, in the Avinu Malkeinu's, and this I want to bring this out to me. In Avinu Malkeinu's, we say Avinu Malkeinu, harim keren Yisrael l'mecha, raise the honor of a Yid. The next one is harim keren meshichecha, bring Mashiach. What comes before external goolah? We accept who we are. THAT'S MAMISH THE MEGILLAH. WOW. >> HARIM KEREN YISRAEL L'MECHA is Mordecai being led. Harim keren meshichecha, okay, then Haman, that's the two steps to goolah. I don't have an answer. I don't have an answer. I don't have an answer. What are you doing? Wow. Again? Hello. >> [laughter] >> Woo. Harim keren Yisrael l'mecha. And then? And then harim keren meshichecha. >> [laughter] >> And then? Harim keren meshichecha. When we when we do Avinu Malkeinu's, we ask Hashem, raise the stature of a Yid, and then we say bring Mashiach. So there's a goolah that the Yid is restored to his dignity. I don't know. So step one that Mordecai is led is the restoration of Am Yisrael as our pride, that we're precious. the story. That's part of goolah, recognizing the bigness of a Yid. Mordechai being led on the horse, our leaders being given covered. That covered is part of Geulah, the covered of a Yid. >> Hello, you just The next step, we're still in danger, but we have covered. The Yid is respected. I'm saying that Geulah comes in two parts. The Yid returns to his dignity as part one. And then there's a second part as Mashiach. Mordechai being led is the dignity of the Yid is res- stored. And remember, Amalek attacks the dignity of a Yid. That's the Pnimi'us thing. A Yid Horim Koru Yisroel Omeichu. Let a Yid be But I want to say this. And it it angers us. All people ripping Yidden angers us. And there's something that's hidden. It's I admit we're all so scared. See, when we hear people I have two emotions in me. When I hear people I don't want to say his name in the base such people in the right ripping Yidden. I am scared. I'm also indignified. We're good people. No, it's knock it off. We're good people. We're mamish good. We're good for a country. We're loyal. We're actually honest people. We're the most honest people. They like showing one Yid cheated. Yidden are honest people. A Yid cheated, shame. It's a good It's a story because the people are we're we're shaming the Torah mitzvahs. Y- It's amazing. Go to a park. Who says thank you to the park the most? Trillion times more than anybody else. Yeah. Yidden. Pashu, we're good I was very upset. I was at a Pesach hotel. Somebody knocked the Yidden's behavior at the park. It bothered me. Bothered me because we're very good people. Did one Yid make a mistake? Typically, the best behaved Who does anybody say more thank yous than Yidden? Typically, it was Now, if somebody's dishonest, I'm not I'm I'm upset at that Yid. Is there a Yid who's dishonest? There's prob- There's There exists in our people a certain distrust of They actually understand. We've been beaten pretty bad pretty recently. We're actually a people that are honest, that are dignified, that are appreciative. It's funny Shimmy, they had last year I went with my family. What's that group that helps Rebbeim? What are they called? As they leave. So I went to the amusement park. Someone made an announcement that from them that we've never gotten so many It's all the people who tell people say thank you were there. They said like, "Please stop thanking." Like you know what I'm saying? Like [laughter] It was all the Rebbeim and Morris. Like all the people who tell kids all day say thank you were there. It's like they said we never heard so many thank yous in our life there. Uh uh let's hear Simon. I'm thinking of two things but I'm not sure. Before if anyone writes through that I first of all I love what Simon says and I love people that aren't sure. I want to say that. I'm thinking of two things but I'm not sure. I like that. I like that. I like that. People that are sure get me very nervous cuz Hashem's vada don't be a vada. Maybe maybe but First, maybe it really did affect the final outcome. When Haman built the 50 amos high gallows to hang Mordecai, that whole process ended up causing Ahasuerus to change it. Instead of being for Mordecai it became for Haman. So besides the the perhaps this is also part of the chain of events that influenced throughout the outcome. He says in parentheses the people regain their faith. When the people have faith there's geulah. He said ba'al mishpat the geulah b'minyan. I like that. [applause] He said that He said ba'al mishpat. I like that. That's interesting. That's that He asked a good catch. Simon ended up asking that Hashem is Mashpil Ge'im. He takes arrogant people and buries them. And Simon asked, "Haman got it too slowly, like in two steps." But when he gets like killed, he'd already been like humbled. He would have like let him be at his max. It says it says Ki Ga'avah like the Mitzri was was was was was sunk with his horse. Simon asked, "Why does Hashem first beat Haman down and then kill him? Take him at his height." When Haman gets killed, he'd already been Mevuyash a day before. Simon asked, "Nail him at his height. Mashpil Ge'im, like hit him where he's Hashem almost like works slowly. First he Why the two steps?" It is good Yeah, that as he says it's very close to each other. It was a couple of days apart. It's interesting that it happened almost slowly, not like bang. But I'm saying the Geulah the same way. Horeb Keren Yisrael Machan and then Horeb Keren Mashiach. A restoration of the pride of the Yid. But that created a that created a sense where look at us. People were proud. Look look at Am Yisrael. Look at our leader. Yeah, I'm I'm I want to express that I don't I'm like grappling. I don't like I said the answer even why does Hashem work this way? There's what to work on. There's what to think about. I'm we're we're studying here. We're studying. We're trying to connect. It's interesting that step one that Simon said this himself. Klal Yisrael the day before is starting to like feel pumped. And in essence, even though that doesn't cause our Yeshua, I'm claiming that inner Yeshua of a restoration of Keren Yisrael will like we're feeling better. That That that causes further Geulahs. That's how works. That's how I'm claiming. Interest it's interesting that we leave we have one year. It's interesting and again I don't know what's going on. We have one year where we party and then we leave. It's it happens to be pretty similar. We have a year where we don't get out yet but we're like we're saved when I'm in servitude. It's interesting. It's interesting the gala starts the other way. The gala starts that first you them and then you do bad. It's an exact opposite of gala. Gala goes in your they not they say bad things. Then you start you rip somebody and then you kill and then and then you defeat them. Who always you praise and then you redeem. It's funny that it happens exact that there's something here. I want to think more. Gala happens you rip somebody you make fun and then you bring them down. Gala is you lift up and then you bring them out. I can I can I can I can I say a funny thing that I thought about just when people take out the Torah. When people take out the Torah so I always catch myself saying to the guy up and out up and out because if you know how this works you have to pick it up then pull it out up and out. And that's how gala happens up and out up and out. First there's up and out up and out. I thought of that difference as the guys open up that arm up and out. That's like always the message to the guy up and out. It's the true and it's true in how people grow in general understanding. I I if if somebody understands this Yeshiva there's a certain way of working with people. If when I go around, I don't like giving musser and you know, we have to work on more gratitude. We're grateful. Great gratitude is not something you work on. It's something you tap into. Gratitude any human being is grateful. When a guy is not grateful, he's not present to himself. Nobody has to work on being grateful. Now you have to be more aware maybe saying it will be more gratitude is natural. If you're not being grateful, figure out what's the blockage. Gratitude Nobody works getting a million dollars being appreciative. You're appreciative cuz you got it. If somebody is not appreciative, then there's something there's a blockage. Every minute is there. The neshama was the In the Yeshiva you don't hear talk here you who do. We have to tell people they don't understand people. People are neshama. We have to help access it. When I speak, I like I like encouraging understanding. I like speaking how great we are. So if you gather people to tell them how great If we could get people to be in touch with neshama, they'll have more gratitude. They'll have they'll have more they'll they'll pray because because because it's true because we're in touch. Up and out is the way for gola. Up. A person rising, a person understanding. This sogya of harama is carrying Israel like getting what he it is, being in touch what he is. I see this as the detchivers revolution. I see this as the whose yartzeit coming revolution. A revolution of understanding neshama Israel. From that space of course being in touch with that, being being present to what it means in the sham of it, being more in touch with that. That's how I see it. So I like that the gola came like this. I don't know. I don't know. It's interesting this part of the story is The whole of our kingdom changes now. Yeah, I think so. What do you say? It's interesting, man. Rabbi, did they Can I read is the title here in quotes? I don't know the answer. >> [laughter] >> Where did they feel better? Any idea? The zeros were there at the time. Have you seen how much they feel uplifted when they come on the horse? I think there's restoration of something. They remembered what a year it is. Then we get other goals too. I'm claiming that this would cause that. Mordecai is being led and by Haman himself who who is Gayser the Gazer against me so so we've been seeing we've been noticed. Our Our pride has been restored. That's what I'm claiming. I need my costume to Interesting Yisif, right? We're talking We're talking gratitude. We're talking gratitude and specifically there near their door and one of the dorm councils who's upstairs two are right here. I want [snorts] to express appreciation to Yisif Avrahami what he's done THIS WHOLE YEAR. >> [applause] >> FROM MINUTE ONE THIS YEAR. Maybe in in all the years somebody to come quote and quote from the outside. We saw Give me Give me another guy Mordecai. We saw somebody Nobody that know outsiders in dorm who came from the outside outside of Shtickel and came here and like took over like this. Give me I'm thinking of one name. I'm thinking of two names also. Go go two names. Go two names. Would you count Naftali Fake in also? So we have I want to say that Yisif joins this pantheon of somebody just from minute one came here in explosion. It's very very appreciated what you've done this whole land this whole year. Very very appreciated. I want to I want to express appreciation. I'm talking about up and out of Haman's carrying me through. I want to express that Daniel Tessler lifts the whole like >> [applause] >> the whole prestige of the Yeshiva. I like him in the dorm. I say walks into a building, it's like a more prestigious place. And I would say one of the greatest tzinus of the dorm and an of a yid is understanding a yid is precious. It sounds to you such good guys. When people say that you feel worse. A speaker comes and says, "You're such wonderful people." I I I didn't think we were so bad. Like you That's I'm very honest. But somebody says you're such good boys, you feel worse. Cuz that's cuz that's really what they're feeling. I'm not talking about saying that. So it's such a delicate spot. I'm asking dorm counselors to uplift the spirits. But not shallow. To say, "Oh, you're such good boys." That maybe the worst times I felt in my life. People What's it in English the word of the day is a patronizing patronizing. Somebody says sadikul, you feel like garbage yourself. Sadikul. I didn't think I was so bad. I I really I'm not the worst guy. A speaker can They don't mean bad. Please don't judge. They're mamish sadikuls. When somebody comes When somebody comes and says such nice hever, wow. You like I I mamish didn't think we were so bad. I mamish I really didn't think we were so bad. So I'm not talking about in a shallow way. And and patronizing is not does not uplift somebody. I'm talking about understanding. Right, Russ sits with his guys. You can't tell he's unsure who's bigger. It's not like the big one helping. He looks at them like a good thing mamish. But it's not it's not said in words. It's true. It's true. None of us have de'im. We know who's neshama who We just don't know. I want to express that Daniel Tessler in the dorm you lift up people. Everybody feels in your presence good. That's what you give over. That's there's a there's a there's a good up he has tremendous beautiful eyes and there's a sense people are good around Daniel people feel respected, uplifted, appreciated. You're in the dorm and the dorm's lebedik. I would say it's interesting. Reb Geisler came to our group, meets the guys and most people in the world would hear there's a lot of saying a lot of people not dressed fully around Sulam. There's words flying you can hear an F bomb or two. Reb Geisler comes to Sulam, falls in love with the guys and tells his wife and kids they have to come. I promised it happened. I see that in Daniel. He's in the dorm a lot of people would feel that there's there's hard feelings in the dorm. There's complicated. That's not what he's seeing. He's seeing royalties relating to something. He's experiencing you could feel it. I I feel like you went to the I feel like you walked in there and the place is like you made it float. The Carlton is barely on the floor today. I was talking and I two of the people that are responsible two of that there others also but I feel what Yossi and Daniel Reb Bernstein is it fair to say that the chevre Avi included Eliyahu in the base and Shimon in the basement you've like lifted the Carlton's basically somewhere in Shimon's flying. You've lifted it off the ground. Bamis. Bamis Bamis Bamis you guys have like raised it it's no longer on the ground. It used to be like hard to see how big it is is a floor underground it's a shtickel above ground. You've like lifted Who has that song a tefach higher? This is like now it's it's 10 tefachim higher it's in a different situation. I really really really really appreciate both of what you've done here. One second one second this is from Eliyahu one second. This is from Elio. Wow. He said, "I want to say thank you to all the madrichim for how they welcomed us. It was a spectacular year. I'm going to miss the Yeshiva and Beis Sasson so much. I want to come and visit IN THE FUTURE." >> [applause] [applause] >> CAN I I WANT TO SAY I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING. I've had I want Rafi to hear this. I've had frustration that I can't talk to Rafi everything we want to say to each other and to Elio. I want to say though that somebody could be accused the act of being a wordsmith. Oh, you say the right thing. I in a certain way I liked that we couldn't talk to them and they absorbed the whole Yeshiva. It's not words. I like that. I like that Yosef didn't say this. Be quiet Be quiet all these you want to say. People are you shouldn't They couldn't hear one person say you're a nice boy. They didn't You couldn't do that. No There can be an accusation with like and you could settle all of us. When I'm not on my game and my kids call me out, I'll say like a compliment to my kids. Don't tell me a compliment. You Let me see. You could say a compliment and it's like a quick trick. Say something nice. Oh, I know you're so special. I should thank you. I want to express that they didn't hear They didn't hear words. And Elio's walking floating. The guys I I felt like I belong. I felt like it. They got it. I want to express that there's so much beauty here, so much elevation. You don't have to know words to feel cuz not a wordsmith place. There's something happening and going on and they felt it, understood it, lived it, and were elevated by it and brought elevation here. So, I appreciate you guys a lot. I appreciate Daniel. What you gave is deeper than words and make sure always what we give our families, what we give people is deeper than words. I think you get lost in being a good wordsmith, deeper than words. So, of course words are powerful. We use words, but I like they prove something. I liked that nobody could have said it least what I like in a certain way they didn't hear the words of the Yeshiva. In a certain way they got the Yeshiva more than everybody else. I have told guys from far people listen to Tati my king. In the Yeshiva you think anybody ever plays Tati? You don't hear the songs. A guy said Rabbi, before I came I listened like 24/7 to music Yeshiva. I just haven't listened since I came. I the the music of the Yeshiva is for a person listening to hear you live the music. It's Don't ever let go of me. Connection, Tati, this is like what's happening. From far you hear the song. From from from here you're you're living the song. So, I want to just express that there's a certain amount I appreciate Daniel. They absorb what you were given without words and maybe some of the words that are said in the dorms it's better they don't hear. >> [laughter] >> Pure. Pure. >> [laughter] >> Beautiful. Beautiful. Thank you Shimon. Thank you Eliyahu. Thank you Rabbi Daniel and Yishai. >> [applause] >> One song we're singing we're singing together. Aryeh, I want you to do a song. You have a guitar here?
