[Music] Shalom everybody welcome back to the Y a warm a very warm welcome home to Torah we are in pares Pinas we're not exactly in the beginning we're on the first verse but we're we're further on inside the clear car as you know we use the Clear Car to uh arrange our discussion to use as the outline for our discussion and we do encourage people to you to learn Torah and the way you can do that at least during this year is Look Down Below in the uh in the YouTube description box and you'll find a link and BM you'll be able to follow along with the material also there are previous classes there are links to previous classes as well in the description box so if you like this shear and you like other shears you know you can go and uh and check them out so basically in the first verse which is number one on the source sheet numbers uh numbers 25 verse 11 in English it says Pinas the son of Lazar the son of Aon the Coen has turned my anger away from the children of Israel by his zealously avenging me among them so that I did not destroy the children of Israel because of my Zeal now in the Hebrew pazar very nice he was he returned God is speaking right God speaking and saying that he returned he turned away my wrath from upon me is now this is what we're going to be discussing these words specifically those words usually in the Hebrew text when you see a double language you could easily translate it as very much somehow that word is exaggerated in this case the very fact that those two words are used basically right next to each other is a sign that needs to be evaluated and what we're going to discuss is specifically there were two venges there were two revenges that were Avenged okay so even though in English it says by his zealously avenging me among them also the word is used the clear will explain why that is an interesting word now that's basically let's just finish the Hebrew V I didn't finish them off I didn't destroy them in my anger in my um Zeal so what we want to discuss uh is believe me a lot okay so we're going to go systematically one thing at a time I think it's important to see the Rashi on that verse Rashi mentions right away that the tribes were Moto they were they were giving they were doing business I own to him so they were disparaging him and they were making fun of him were trying to put him down by saying well have you seen the son of PTI we're going to have to discuss what does it mean who is py or for those sake pel putl for all practical purposes of shot we seem to think that that is referring to Jethro because Jethro had how many names eight names that we know of and one of them was puel so have you seen the son of py whose mother's father and we now know it's jethra fatten calves so to fatten Cavs is Pam um here it says pame so he was fattening cast for idol worship so if you think about what yro did he was AA he was right he was a convert According to some to others he was a righteous Gentile who never converted we're not here here to resolve that issue um and maybe it's it'll never be resolved but there are two thoughts that yro never converted possibly he went back to Midian to convert others or to at least spread the message of Ben to his uh family according to others he actually did convert and he went back to convert others to Judaism but nevertheless let's go with the idea that he was righteous nevertheless after he did Chua whether he was a coma he was a high priest he was Coen Midian but we're not getting into that right now all we know is what Rashi says is that they made fun of him because of his pedigree because of where his mother's father so his grandfather on his mother side now we already know from the the Torah itself that on the Father's Side Co Aon a Coen Aon then elazar and then Pinas so the father side is clear what we don't have is the mother's side and the clear explain well should Rashi says it's for this very reason that the scripture goes out of its way to show you that he comes from Aon that you have no right to um to make fun of him but then uh It also says by his zealously avenging me so we see that means by his avenging my Vengeance God is saying by his releasing the Wrath that I would have released meaning he stopped my wrath so the word k not always denote something motivated to take Vengeance for some matter and that's what we're going to discuss what was the Vengeance or for that matter what was the double Vengeance what was he taking a Vengeance for in a double way in a in a twoo faced matter in a two-faced manner okay so the CLE car let's go back to the CLE car right away he says those are the words that we're dealing with right it's four words on the top of the Hebrew sheet zealously Avenged my Vengeance among them the clear says notice what the Torah does not say the Torah does not say that I zealously Avenged my Vengeance bem in them that would be in them but it says inside of them what in the world would inside of them come to add and we'll see so the cleard right away tells us made I'll call when you do a it must be in front of 10 other people so the idea is this that what we think in the vernacular we say if someone does a nice deed someone was nice to somebody oh what AEM that's not that's just the vernacular like when people people say do a Mitzvah you do a good deed okay you can use the word Mitzvah not in its correct form when you say oh he was just nice to somebody so he did such a good deed it was such a Mitzvah that's not what a Mitzvah really means although I wouldn't discount that it could be a Mitzvah same too with kesem kesem is when you're put on the line life or death and you choose death now what I mean is like in the Nazis like when they said hey Jew you know dance in front of all these other Jews or they wanted to cut your pants off in front of all these other Jews so normally a Jew when he does Kish hasem is even in private only on these three great cardinal sins if somebody put a gun to your head and said you must commit adultery you must commit murder or you must commit idolatry even in private you're obligated to give your life and not um transgress but when you're in public and there's schmad the the non-jews are are trying to wipe us out and make fun of Judaism so then even in front of 10 people when even it's a small matter one should be willing to give up their life now I would recommend you to speak to your your local Orthodox Rabbi don't just give up your life make sure you really know what you're talking about but how do we know it's in front of 10 people in Leviticus 22:32 as it says over there you shall not desecrate my Holy Name don't desecrate my holy name is but rather you shall sanctify me see is I'm not sure we're going to go into the whole idea here it's a beautiful if anybody wants to read the beautiful Rashi on this verse go ahead I think would take too much time it is important but not necessarily important to this lesson okay so let's go back into the clear and he says now we know why when Pinas took Vengeance in verse S it says see the word when he stood up to kill Zim it was it was within in the midst of uh all the shites he was from the tribe of Simon Shimon and therefore he put his own life at risk when he stood up to skewer Shish Kabab zimri and Cosby which we'll talk about also what they were doing but in the meantime what does the clear say it says this is actually telling us the praise of he was actually willing to give his life over for the sake of sanctifying God's name even though he was amongst the the shites he was within the a c z because it's a very it's a place that is actually very dangerous he was surrounded by shimit and he was killing the prince of of of Shimon named Zim M nevertheless what he did was he placed his own life into his hands meaning he was willing to have his life spare sacrificed the now just as a hint to the idea it says lo Rach the verse actually says so in numbers 257 it literally says the pin son of laar son of Aon the Coen saw this he saw what they were doing and I'll describe that in a second he arose from the congregation from he rose from amongst amidst within the congregation and he took a um sword in spear in his hand now interestingly enough what is a spear in Hebrew it's a romach romach is the exact gatria of 248 okay what is that 248 we hear that number a lot in Judaism 248 are the amount of positive mites it's true but they parallel to our limbs we have 248 bones okay so basically you're talking about he G he's giving over his life he's giving over all his limbs as it says in Hebrew it's as if he gave his whole life over just a few side points when we say the shma the Mitzvah of saying the shma one should have y awe and um trepidation they should think of themselves at the end of the the of a rifle the end of a cannon that as if their life is depending on it it's a real sacrifice as if you are a real sacrifice this is how one should say the shma that's the attitude one should have when they say the shma what was happening here so without getting in too many details cuz I'm sure many people are listening to other classes simply put Zim who was the prince of Shimon wanted to cohabitate with a non-jewish woman in public it wasn't just that he wanted to this was a rebellion okay this was part of his rebellion and by doing so by the way according to our cabala according to our Jewish tradition according to our sacred tradition that if somebody would do this so brazenly in public that a zealot has the right to bring it to an end let's just say okay we're trying to be a little bit politically correct here uh we don't want to get banned on YouTube but basically the Zealot has the right to bring this uh to a for what is it called a for uh something conclusion what do you say forone foregone conclusion there you go a forone conclusion um okay so that's what happened and there were we're going to see the six Miracles that happened when Pinas did this the next paragraph is actually I'm going to say the biggest Focus we're going to focus a lot on this now after I finish this paragraph I want to continue and then go back into all the details I think that's how we're going to try to do it there were actually two types of zealousness two types of vengeancesynyster two aspects to them or two ways to look at these two vengeancesynyster he made her say he he caused her you're going to entice the Jews I want you to go for the best I want you to you you're the princess you're the daughter of the king I want you to find the the highest ranking guy over there and and bring him down because if you couldn't curse the Jews the next best thing is to cause them to sin now I'm just giving that away to our enemies right guys push don't don't use this against us if you can't right the Jews are blessed and when are we most blessed when we're doing the right thing when we're following the Torah following the Commandments following what God says and if you try to curse us it ain't going to work but what might work unfortunately if we are estranged from our Father in heaven so they tried to cause us to do AAR with the B which by the way is a very in our mind is a very disgusting way of serving a God and that's through defecation on the Idol let's put that aside the other uh idea of Vengeance was on the Z as I said they tried to entice us they they had these um these Idols in their shops we came by because we were thirsty we were hungry we came by to ask for some drinks and they uh they had their U like a what would you call that like a the shops right they had their little stalls and so they had they had curtains they had back rooms to these stalls and so they tried to seduce us to get us to come into their tents and buy their Wares and told us how cheap and how good quality these things were and once we got inside then they had even be more beautiful women who tried to seduce us uh with sex and then they told us that the only way the only way that you're going to have sex with me is if you worship this Idol and the way you worship the idol was probably the most disgusting way you can worship an idol the Balor and that is through def ation and that there's a whole psychology behind this you know you know it's so interesting man man-made religions they created God in their image I this is this this like the epitome of a low self-esteem of yourself you created a God in your image and the way you worship It Is by defecating on it this has to be like the lowest of the lows for anybody but there's a lot of other philosophical and psychological issues here which unfortunately and I'm not going to say which party in uh in America fits closest to this type of uh idol worship but you can imagine there is there are uh pH um political parties that are resemble this idea okay so that's one idea of the double Kina but there's another idea and that was because they he was avenging the honor of God God and on the same level meaning there's two sides of it also Moshe for the sake of the honor of Moshe he was getting back at them for this so what are the ideas here anyone just think about it if you disregard and not only disregard disgrace here will even go further M desecrate God you would never ever give a wor any honor to your rebi your re is the one here talking about and teaching you about hem so if you don't have any honor for hasem you're certainly not going to have any honor for your rebi and as a meaning as a logical extension a reasonable argument if you're not considering the the glory of the divine presence if you're not considering the importance of the divine presence therefore I.E a relationship with God then you certainly wouldn't be interested in developing a relationship or giving any honor or consideration to your Rabbi therefore they had such brazenness such that they the truth is I think this was Zim that said it in gorah San hedin 82a now they were talking to Moshe right that they're accusing Moshe of being with a woman that he shouldn't be with now this is before mattin Torah it's true that she converted but the the idea here is one second ready for this Moshe himself served as a cohain during the inauguration of the Tabernacle so as a Coen you're not allowed to marry a gorus a so it's true that seora was a righteous woman she was probably been about no for a long time she converted doesn't matter a Cohen is not allowed to marry a gorus could be but they're they're looking at it like this from simple shot her father yro was an idol worshipper so what so what he converted or his daughter converted it shouldn't be a problem so what does it really mean b the daughter of who allowed you to marry her so basically think about this they're arguing with Moshe what about Pinas pin's mother was Bas um um puel okay she was the daughter of puel the question is who is puel is puel yro or is it ysep I bet you never heard that one before well Rashi brings it down there's another idea that you're not allowed to uh give instructions of in front of your Rabbi to someone who asked you're in the audience or you're standing there next to your Rabbi someone comes over ask the rabbi a question and what do you do you answer the question what a the person asked the rabbi and you're not supposed to but what happened over here unbelievable when this incident was taking place with Zim and Cosby we'll see there's different opinions what actually took place did Pinas approach him and remind him of the H did he act on his own without speaking to him about it let's find out but in the mean time the clear brings down this idea that Pinas pasin the H in front of his Rabbi Moshe the arm what did he say to himself according to the opinion that he pasin he said my re is not saying a word he can't pasin because he himself is no meaning he's biased in the matter meaning that y him sorry that Moshe himself married a daughter of yra so y so if if they're coming and making fun of Pinas right they're making fun of mosha but here at the same time they're also going to turn around to pinus and say you're in the same boat as as Moshe but Moshe himself was no he couldn't do anything he couldn't because he was biased because he himself was married to a daughter of there therefore we see you know what it actually says in verse 12 look in 12 on the S not number 12 on the S sheet chter 25:2 where do we see it it's number 13 on the S it says therefore say I hereby give my now my addition my Y is capitalized m m my y I hereby give my Covenant of peace now you got to understand according to the clear and he didn't make it up this is God telling Moses you say in front of everybody as if you're saying I Moshe give my with a small my y Covenant of peace to Pinas do you realize what's going on here that after Pinas pined in front of Moshe the death penalty is actually quite um suitable as a punishment and yet Moshe didn't hold any grudges in fact he understood the situation he was no gav and he was God was letting mosha know that this this is something this is a gesture you should make towards p and that's why the clear says it doesn't say it doesn't say God saying therefore you should say to him but rather you should say to all of is I make a covenant of peace with him as if Moses is saying it himself listen to the words he know saying Shalom that's the verse what it could have said that you should say to him but it doesn't rather the answer is that God said to Moses what is I God want you mosha to let everyone know as it's coming from you I Moses am giving my Covenant the Peace So the Jews would not say right there's such there's such there's allowance for such either anger or or strictness coming from moses' point of view and yet he didn't and God wanted him to let all of am shall know that he is forgiving and overlooking um this tragic sin of P therefore God wants you mosha to let everyone know from yourself behold I am giving him as the word h is going on mosha himself now the next few lines I want to get through and I want to go back deep deep into this idea about the two types of the two types of vengeance we said earlier that he was taking Vengeance for the sake of God if you look clearly in verse 13 which you'll find in number 15 on the sore sheet it's numbers 2513 it shall be for him and his descendants after him as an eternal Covenant of kahuna because he was zealous for his God and atoned for the children of Israel so this verse is very different than verse 12 which we just read this idea here [Music] is and the CLE says this is not at all going on the previous verse of 12 because the previous one was remember we said there's two keynote one was for the covet of hem which the the reward is in verse 13 and the the um verse 12 is referring to the reward he gets for taking up the defense of Moshe and now this this last little piece is going to blow you away because I never thought about it like this and it's very difficult for a Jew to think about it like this but this is what it says in um it says then he atoned for the children of Israel this is the last few words of verse 13 where it says right that he was is it was atoning for the children of Israel so Pinas was not a Coen when he did this when he skewered them the interesting thing is like this the promise was to Aon and his sons and anyone who would be born after that point so pinus was already born so he was not grandfathered in so to speak if that's a good you like that expression he wasn't grandfathered in so but he did something he did an act which brought him but the clear is going to tell us he actually atoned through the the uh the killing of zimra and Cosby it says is it even possible that such an evil person what do you mean that by killing them these evil people you brought in atonement I want you to hear he this yeah so there's one idea it's very important for those Christians out there who are listening there's such a concept in Judaism and I bet you never heard this that if a a sadic dies he can mitigate he can um reduce um judgment on the Jewish people okay some call it vicarious atonement there's no such thing in Judaism what it means is that when somebody dies a righteous person dies number one there's a lot of ways to think about it just the crying at the eulogy can bring somebody to chuva so the death of the sadik brought about atonement it wasn't some magical pill it was the very fact that I'm standing there in the audience listening to the eulogy and I'm crying and I'm thinking to myself wow I really need to do chuva because of this is a great person I wish I could be like that person and therefore I need to make changes in my life and therefore his death brought about M tra that's a very simple shot however on a More cabalistic Level it's only a Jew who's not perfect can atone okay why is that see if a if a Jew was perfect which the Christians claim they're their Jew is perfect right that's what they claim so there's no Tuma that will attach to that Jew so in other words the imperfect Jew but he's he's righteous but he's not completely righteous when he dies he can be attached the sin of the living Jew the the Jews who are alive their sin is attached to him but that's only because he's open to Darkness because he's not perfect the one who's completely perfect there's nothing that attach himself there's nothing that can even possibly attach them themselves to this person so the whole idea that Christianity makes this such Pro uh what what the word I'm looking for um absurd claim that a perfect Jew can actually attone for other Jews is just not even not even on the table okay so that's a very calistic idea um but in the meantime this is what the CLE are saying that it's this Russia that's bringing kapar on all of Israel and it's and it was actually as if this Coen he's not even a Coen but it Pinas made the offering remember he's not a Coen he's making this offering it's having an effect therefore Hashem swears you are going to be a Coen forever it was actually like the inauguration rights in other words when the other they went through a whole 7-Day process and they were Anointed with blood on their right different limbs and they went to the Mikvah and there was oil there was all kinds of the whole prescription involved but the prescription for for penas was just the act the shimun he started with an act you already so what they say about a duck he looks like a duck quacks like a duck walks like a duck he's a duck well guess what pinus did everything like a Coen therefore bang he's a Coen okay now so to B actually it starts on 43b yeah so it's very interesting because it says over there that regarding the Aon it wasn't just Pinas but it was the Holy Ark that also went with them into war and it's quite quite a lively discussion I want to skip a little bit of that but basically the idea here is is that Pinas was pointed out that he specifically is going the question is what tit he had the title at this point when he went into war with against Midian as the Mish there's a special Coen like in Braveheart who goes out there and he pumps everybody up and tells them God is with you and if we don't win they're going to rape our children right they're going to uh steal our land and we're going to be poor no seriously he goes out there and he says God is with you and God promise he's going to be with you and he wants to make sure that remember we're talking about a at this point any mitv when people come attack you there are no Exceptions there are no exemptions but here in this uh discussion here is a when we're going out to war for resources um so the Coen is going to say the special Cohen anointed Cohen is going to let people know that if you're just got married and you're not full year yet or you have um a Vineyard that you haven't yet eaten from or a house that you haven't yet inaugurated you haven't lived in it and a few other things and the main idea is that if you're afraid of sin you might have sinned you're going to die in war so he says everyone I just talked about can walk out so it's not to embarrass the people in the last category right everyone walks out together so it's not it's not you're not you're not putting yourself in the spotlight so that's very important to know so basically we're asking if pinus was the cohain that was specially assigned for this so what makes you think he was going to take Vengeance so he was there for vengeance as the verse says the question though is who is he and we said the verse in Exodus chapter 25 that elazar so it's in Exodus 6:2 who is elezar elazar elazar took for himself one of the daughters of puel as a wife and the verse continues to say he gave birth to Pinas he begat Pinas so the kumur says of course who's puel pel must be yro yro Jethro he's the one who fanned up the cast for idol worship and so the G actually says no no no he's from Yosef who it's a similar word because when we talked about fattening up casts for ID worship it's here when we talk about Ys he was meaning he um he fought he overcame he was actually maazel his theer he made his evil inclination as if it was nothing okay he didn't consider it at all he made he belittled his evil inclination which is very interesting so then which is the truth is is um Pinas from yro or is he from uh um yoseph on the back page of the English sheets I hope I have it here for you I made a little diagram that's the short end of the stick here where it says basically the gamorra says well we're not talking about his direct mother and father but we're talking about the father or the mother of his mother okay so from the father's side if you look on the last sheet you got it looks like this so on the Father's Side there's no change we obviously know who the father is um okay but what about his mother the mother of of Pinas so the gamorra says it could be the grandmother the mother's mother could have been from the family of ysep whereas the father could have been from Jethro or you know was Jethro or vice versa we're still talking about the grandmother on the mother side she could have been from Jethro and the father came from the family of ysep okay so with all that in mind what I want to take you on is a short Journey because who in the world how can we ever get mixed up I mean Rashi actually says both that he's from the seed p from the seed of Jethro who fatten ceves and he's also from the seed of ysep who was pit pay pit the yro so P so in the short of everything PTI the word PTI is also plural P Al referring to either God so he was fattening up casara or pu Al is another name name for man God meaning man has a Godly Essence meaning the what are we we're creating the image of God what is that image free will God is the ultimate in Free Will and we're just like an image a small little uh um how would you say it uh um you know you got the uh you have the macro and you got the micro so the macro is God in free will we're like a micro we're like a a small example of right with the only we're the only animals on the planet Earth that have the have free will so so the word pu so he was um he made fun of his Yar meaning he Mel his he overcame his so that fits in well but I have something to tell you boys and girls the Zohar says that potifar is yro you guys should be falling off your seat how is Po and the Z says so I figured out a little bit of some some ideas first of all we have an idea that potifar he's the one who bought who bought um ysep okay how can he be ISRO well yro was a big to-do guy I mean he a lot of protexia in Egypt in fact he was even Pharaoh's adviser who's a very important person we already said that yra himself did chuva well I'll tell you tell you how degenerate uh potifar was Po's wife she came on to um she came on to to to ysep why did she come on to ysep apparently because her husband wasn't interested in women okay so in terms of in terms of his wife she was starved starved for sex okay so that was that side if he was a Kumar he was a um a priest he was a priest of vuzara and that was before he did tra so it says that potifar was a cohain own he was the Coen own that means the priest of a particular Idol whereas later after he did trva he's yro and he's cohain midan and he also had a flea right when he was the advisor to to pharaoh he advised them don't well he didn't want the Jews to be thrown into the river so he his protest was to run away and that's where Moshe met up with him and that's where he met sapur after she converted after she became a righteous Ben no or bat in this case so in in a in a very strange sense now let's talk about uh dena's daughter osnat there's an opinion that osnat was was isro's daughter or let's say Po's daughter right Po's daughter that's who ysep ended up marrying right y's daughter before he was yro um sorry after he did trua so how did that happen Yakov is aware that his daughter Dena was raped a Jewish man has a daughter who is raped right by the scum in right so what are you going to do you're going to give up for adoption I mean right you need a healthy family hello you give him potifar it must be the POA already is yro he's already a righteous person there's no way Yakov is giving over his granddaughter to some unknown evil person he's already done chuva do you want to follow what I'm saying that potifar was the Kumar was the priest of Ider worship and then he did chuva he's now um yel same person potifar but he's under a you know a new leaf on life according to the Zoar potifar is how did jakov come to give over his own grandaughter to a to a evil he didn't give it to an evil person he gave it to someone he could trust he gave it over to to Y in in the guys of potifar and so ysep end UPS end UPS ends up marrying also not this is the daughter of Dena who was the result of the rap so we already saw how potifar is called the cohain own but what about yro is called Cohen Midian so if you go to Exodus chap 2 verse 16 right where he's called Co Midian and he has Seven Daughters okay so the Borum says over there that um there's a couple different ways to understand kidan mik so interestingly enough on the other side of the sheet is Chim Judges chapter 18 verse 30 but before we get to that um there are certain um discussions about okay we have the northern tribes and Dan besides the idea yam setting up the golden calf for them in epim Dan also sets up a whole uh place of ID worship and a golden calf as well and they're looking for somebody to be the priest so they get a hold of a guy who's a Lethy wow they got a priest and they're going to make him the co and guttle of this uh guess who this guy was mosha renu's grandson yeah do you know that that um yro and mosha made a pack so interestingly enough we already said he's about Chu and everything so this is how I understand it Moshe is impressed with this boua wow you know you came to it on your own that's very impressive but in Judaism we all seem to put people into boxes you have to go to school you have to be indoctrinated and you have to go through the system okay the system can have pluses and minuses well apparently yro had an idea he was wondering what's the best system your system mosha of putting everyone in a box and making a a system or allowing people to like me come come to it on my own so he says okay so your first son I'll let you marry my daughter but on condition that your first two sons you do like this the first son according to this that you actually have to let him be a a priest to idol worship that's the words however way I understand it is more like you have to let him find out on his own okay I think mine is a better I didn't find this is not on my own idea I read it somewhere um but anyway I'll read the words here so yra was an obvious priest who ID worship and that's the when Moses married his daughter MOS Le that Moses was forced to make a vow right I couldn't make this up according to this opinion in the that Moses swore that the first son would be going to a to be a priest for vodar the truth is Moses was so sure of himself that Judaism is true and correct that the kid will find his own way just like yro found his own way found the truth the kid will find the truth they got nothing to worry about right converted my son will come back to the true Faith nevertheless not because the the the the commentaries explain that moshe's grandson yonathan the son of gam became this Kumar in the time of the judges okay so what happens is that Moses's grandson yonathan becomes the priest leaves the faith becomes the priest because he made the condition because he made this uh this oath not because he allowed him on his own to find the truth that's okay apparently it was the condition he made that his own grandson yonathan became a high priest now turn the page over to this side and it says see where I put an a little arrow on the right but on the left okay it says the children it's verse 30 chapter 18:30 the children of Dan set up for themselves the carved image and yonathan Son of gam son of manasha see it says son manasha doesn't say son of Moshe he and his children were priests for the tribe of the dayite up until the day he was exiled the L was exiled look in the Hebrew did you learn this in you're looking at the Hebrew right they set up in the children of Dan as AEL Ben what's the next word you see the N is hanging in the air it says in small print n the N is hanging as if the N isn't there what's the word Masha without the and remember he a is a Ley son of gam son of Moshe Look Down Below in the the you see on the right side it says 1830 in the mtic text the nun of Minasha is suspended above the line This implies that the remaining letters are to be read as an independent word meaning mosha the Tama therefore identifies the yonatan of rers the son of gam son of mosha but out of respect from mosha the letter nun was added to mask his name so what do we see here we see a lot that first of all just that Moshe was perhaps correct in allowing his children to find the truth I think you still have to give we have a MIT we have every obligation to try to direct our children in the right direction there's no question about it we have to make uh borders for them but I think we have to get our children to think deep think think deeply about life ask the question questions what's the meaning of life get them to ask the question right but to make a condition it seems like that's why he was he was punished he actually made a condition with yro allowing to make to make it that way so that is um that is how we learn that uh I think this is very important in terms of God forbid I should go against I mean I'm also about trua so I don't want to go against the system but I do know and have realized and many people have complaints about the system we're not going to push it under the rug and brashem the Very fact people talk about it and try to come up with Solutions right for the future generations and I think that it's happening within Judaism for sure that um people are more open-minded but you're stronger in your faith when you're stronger in your faith you have nothing to fear right questions don't bother you we came out of a long we're coming out of a long exile we came out of the European Exile when we were coming into America and and we were very weak in America in terms of Yiddish kite and I think people were just afraid that people were going to lose whatever little bit they had so they caused a lot of what's the word boxes you know restrictions what you're allowed to think about but you know what there's been a boua revolution people are asking all the questions and and I think that people are more resolution people are more open and more um what's the word strong in their faith anyway so I want to just finish off on like wishing everyone a m shabbat shalom we need to hear some good news we're looking forward to the complete Redemption first let's start with shabas and have a great life and bem we'll have the in gathering of the Exiles with the rebuilding of the base of mikdash Amen [Music] it [Music]
