[music] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] >> If my dad could do what he did and I'll tell you about it in 1 second, we can do it as well. Right now everybody, every rabbi in the middle of this Iran war, uh running into the uh bomb shelters, everyone's talking about the Messiah, everyone's talking about prophecies that are being fulfilled in front of our eyes. Question is what do we do? Let's look at the Hafetz Hayyim. The Hafetz Hayyim is very clear. He says in Tzipisa Yeshua something very important to know. We're all going to be asked at 120 years old in heaven "Did you wait expectantly for the Messiah?" Tzipisa Yeshua says the Hafetz Hayyim. When you see signs that it's imminent, the expectations rise and you're going to be asked "Hey look, you saw what's going on. You heard all the rabbis talking about prophecies. Did you expect him and did you up your game? Did you do teshuvah? I know everyone says teshuvah teshuvah teshuvah. I know it's not a simple thing. So, that's why I'm going to tell you about my dad. My dad was an orphan of his mother, no relationship with his father who was was a catatonic after World War I, lived by himself by himself. It was hard, right? So, my dad, when his son becomes Torah observant, had a hard time with Shabbos in particular. You know, we wouldn't drive to him, we didn't want him to drive to us, and so he would say, "What? You're You're prioritizing religion over your What kind of religion is that?" Right? Tough questions. He had a He He was really blocked on this. We can understand. Yet 9/11 occurs, the Twin Towers collapse. I speak to him the next week. He didn't tell me about this beforehand. He says, "Uh I just want you to know I I observe the Shabbos." He didn't touch electronics, he didn't write. That is unbelievable. He did it because he saw Hashem do a heavy event and he responded. He upped his game. He's also uh letting people who are like driving by, letting people He was doing chesed as well. Amazing, okay? So kavanah mitzvahs also applies to prohibitions, okay? It is forbidden to have a stiff neck, kashino oref, right? What did my dad do? When he saw Hashem shake the world, he softened his neck. So, we can do that, too. Let's soften our neck and up our game. I I I I'm sometimes a little tight with expenditures. I spent more on Shabbos cuz Shabbos is kodesh. I did my I gave more tzedakah. I'm trying to respond. I'm trying to learn more seriously. Just all you have to do, up your game. Show Hashem that you you care and you recognize what's happening. So, if you want more guidance in these areas and more mitzvahs of fulfill please email me at [email protected] cuz we have some good kavanahs for how to handle this war in a spiritual as a spiritual response, and just don't forget Kavanah Mitzvos Foundation is aiming to help you transform mundane tasks and mindless mitzvahs into meaningful connections to Hashem. So, let's all work on that together and see the geulah's going. >> [music] [music] [singing] [music] [singing]
