NEW!!! Rabbi Jay Yaacov Schwartz: Miracle Makos Unfolding before Our Eyes!

[Music] so we're going to begin today uh by I would like to reflect on two things today besides some interesting lessons about the paraa and about SOS as as we approach the M but also of the events the events of this past week now when we learned last it was pre beeper right it was before the whole situation with the beepers right that went off in Lebanon and the subsequent attacks on Wednesday and then the sub subsequent taking out of the top leadership of Hezbollah who were actively planning a uh October 7th on steroids which would have been to take over the Galilee as it says in the final mishna but it doesn't mean that it will be destroyed necessarily means it will become it will become a war zone okay that's my generous interpretation of it uh and therefore yes of course it's a war zone we know it's a war zone it's been a war zone since October 7th but that doesn't mean that um it won't it will it Willam be destroyed that people will not be able to return their home so we have to dedicate our our Shear specially to everything and everyone who has suffered specifically in the north and that they should speedily return to their homes so an observation two points one what reaction would be the appropriate reaction to hearing of some of our deepest and and most determined and evil enemies that we have faced per probably since the Holocaust I say that probably but because I'm sure there's plenty of others that we maybe not even aware of but uh and when they fell in such a humiliating fashion in a ating fashion and and and gruesome because these beepers went off in their pockets in front of their faces uh near their private parts near their arms and fingers and I did see in a video where there was a a Yeshiva that was dancing I didn't see anybody out handing out candy as our cousins the Arabs tend to do but I was it did trigger the question to me I was riveted I wanted to know every detail I was amazed at how it seemed to be I get to a second very similar to some of the makos in MIT and I'm going to explain why but first let's just hold de deal with the whole concept of celebrating our enemies demise we know uh P mishle that's became the slogan of shaon in pavos been when your enemy Falls don't be joyous right and when he stumbles don't let your heart Rejoice enough maybe hasem will get angry at you for doing that right and he'll stop his anger at your enemy and who knows might divert it towards you now on the other hand so it seems from that P clearly that we never should rejoice in donf of our enemies similarly we don't say full for the and the last day of P because we say m tells us my my human beings my Egyptians are drowning as wicked as they were as guilty as they were as wretched as they were as abusive as they were to CLA Israel and and met says that each each Mystery got what they deserve the worst got him more slow and painful drowning and those who were a little bit more little less uh evil got a more merciful death so we know that the people in the yamu weren't great sadikin and they certainly tormented CLA Israel and yet hasem castigates the Heavenly Host so I might you the Heavenly Host wanted to sing AEM because it was a downfall of the enemies of Hashem and said no and for that reason we don't say a full h on and Ence to the last day of PES not saying Hal we also don't say it all of that's one of the reasons given for the half H there is another reason which is that there's no unique carbonos that are added unlike sukus which there's a different carbon every single day uh pesak is flatlined it's the same carbonous every single day so since there's no unique carbon past the first day uh we don't we don't uh say full Hollow in deference to the Kad but that is a very long an arite discussion that we don't have to go into but clearly the point is made that we should not rejoice on the other hand clel did Rejoice they sang Shir the Shir and guess what we sing that Shir every every single day so how could you tell me it's wrong to do that we do it every day every single day doesn't matter right so how in the world can you reconcile the fact that we celebrate with every single day of the calendar year without exception without exception uh um and then but you told me you know play it down it's not really a time to say but we say have hollow on PESA that's two contradictory things on the same day of that you're going to recite half you're gonna say so how could that make any sense what's the intention here of okay frame it that way for you as clearly as I can possibly frame the question if you have a comment you may may do so please feel free to oh I don't hear I don't hear I want to ask a question about Shira please I I thought Shira was only sung when something major was changing in our in our cloud in our life coming out of MIM we see a whole different a whole different chapter a whole different paral for us so we sing Shir Halo is something like coming from our hearts praising Hashem for saving us and doing wonderful things for us which is not that different but it is different okay so you're saying that there's something different in the between a Hal and Shir right which I which obviously there is I agree with you because otherwise we wouldn't have the play out in that manner it can't be that Hal is counterindicated and Shir is indicated is is is is is to be embraced okay so we have to get a little deeper in which way can we sing praises of the downfall of enemies and which way shall we not after all if you look in the Shir itself can you quote a p which speaks to the fact that we rejoicing in the downfalls of the enemy you know and all that stuff that they fell be they fell into the deepest depths I mean we go into detail they we go into detail of their you know horrific death so then what's going on okay what and what is the wisdom what's the I'll go a step further okay that on the Seder night we say meaning those that destroyed the B mikdash which Eli who is is entering at that at that time of the Seder we open the door for in the same time we decry all of our historical tormentors and we understand that that this should come to an end okay and we ask Hashem to meet out judgment on our enemies so so now the question becomes even more complicated okay Hashem did it we either Rejoice by saying Shir we keep it muted by saying have Hal but to ask Hashem to destroy our enemy that we didn't hear yet that we didn't hear we didn't pray to God that our enemies be destroyed and in such a wrathful way so how do we understand this these are simple things that every one of us knows but if we look at them in context you know we it be hard pressed to come up with a simple explanation we need something that we'll we'll go into a little bit more depth at least at least I hope so so so how do we deal with that so A couple of thoughts number one is that we have to look at theim themselves and be very careful what does it say in Mish it says it's a very funny way of pronouncing it but it is spelled that that is the correct pronunciation not but and it's very much on the singular it emphasizes the singular because would necessarily could necessarily mean the multiple people right multiple people no o means a personal enemy he may to to me be an enemy a rival a threat but to somebody else he's just a you know regular guy there's kamson and there's Barson you know there's people who don't you know who have a personal Vendetta who thinks horrible things have been done and they're not ready to forgive this person and they consider them in o or another guy down the street doesn't know the difference between him and anybody else so that's the wisdom of mish you have a personal enemy personal enemy means the type of Joy that's all out right that's high level it's not a chuckle it's not a smile it's Delirious dancing and song like a right don't go crazy here all right you want to smile okay that's one thing but don't go delirious when your your personal enemy had yeah he had it coming and he this and that and he did this to me and no Hashem doesn't like that Hashem says listen buddy I chose to do this this um judgment on your personal enemy and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with you maybe it's part of what you maybe it was part of my decision what the wrongs that were done to you or the dangers that he exposed you or she exposed you to or the wrongs that were done to you by this person that was part of the divine plan perhaps we're not even sure but you just remember people who live in Glass Houses should not throw rocks who says you're a sadic you know they have this statement in you in in called sadic in pelts it's sarcastic you know what that means what does sadic and pelts mean you know a sadic in a really expensive fur coat you can go on and say what aoic you are and how you deprive yourself day and night to learn toy and to do but meantime you got you're driving Alexus or you're driving a rollsroyce no no no that's called sodic impels maybe there's maybe you're not you know free of above criticism so we say to such a person Altis don't carry on here and even you're gonna keep it to yourself don't go around dancing and skipping to yourself even right even to yourself right hasem will be angry at you and say what you think you're so much better than this guy who says so let's open up your tick and take a look at jayam and see how you're doing no no no no no way just keep it quiet but that's when it's a personal eny okay what if it's an enemy of CLA Israel or an enemy of Hashem now CLA Israel at the yamu faced a collective enemy parro didn't just come after one Jew he didn't even come after Moshe he probably didn't even care about mosha that much he just wanted the slaves back what have we done to give up this free and powerful and Brilliant and talented Workforce called Ami Israel so when parro parro he Crees parro comes close it means the collective parro the whole MIT Ro St and Barrow its spiritual forces it's it's sorrow shim the you know the the the coak of Egypt in the world it's powerful and it wants Cloud Israel back so when Cloud Israel have been tormented by these people working us literally to the Bone and and even the times to the death especially of young children and so on and they disposed of by Hashem and they had skin in the game what do I mean by skin in the game skin in the game means I was we all CLA thr was a was at risk here I'm a member of CLA Israel and CLA Israel was in wretched danger in such a case they're certainly entitled to say Shira because their life was saved you say about lifechanging experience the best life changing experience is not to die that's the best that's the top life experience is not to be killed doesn't matter if you had a good day or not you went to the amusement park they got ice cream it don't matter you're alive you're alive you survived that evokes Shira because it's an immediate reaction to a sudden incredible Yeshua CLA Israel guess what always is a constant if CLA was saved in MIT that means we've been we're getting saved every single day each and every day by saying the sheir we reconnect to the wifi of of the and to the Collective Soul of the Jewish people known as known as KET Isel which hooks up anytime you look hook into a whether it's one person learning alone or two people withus or three people in din Torah or five people in an organization or 10 people in a minion it doesn't really matter you log on to the to the kadus and the inspirational reality and life saving life saving and intervening K of hem and his so therefore you're entitled to say Shir every single day because you were part of that collective experience of Cl Israel and if they were saved on that day if they weren't saved on that day guess what there would be no claw you so I can say thanks God I'm here today because you did this wonderful Miracle so many years ago so it makes more sense a little bit more sense to say don't cancel Shir ever the Jewish people deserve and are obligated to say Shir every single day and in certain times more than others there's a special like if a new Miracle occurs a new life-saving Miracle occurs we also would be obligated but when a life saving Miracle happens to the whole Jewish people then the entire Jewish people need to say she not just an individual whose life was saved or a group but now let's turn our question to this what told why did he castigate the MIM for for wanting to sing and rejoice at the Salvation of K Israel so Hashem said to the L you're not mortal right you don't have any life-saving experiences I created you and you'll be as you'll be alive if I want to for eternity and why wouldn't you be he says you're coming in to celebrate the fact that a human being and a group of people called clel were saved just know the truth there was not that much difference between the average Jew at that time and the average mitz believe it or not at least in terms of idolatry I'm not saying in terms of punish you know horrible Deeds but just in terms of the hashkafa or the amuna in aara Unfortunately they was not there was not a big difference that's how they were raised that's what they understood to be true but was the first one that ever came around other than the levim who tried to tell them otherwise and therefore malim have no right to Rejoice on on those moments they're not they're not GL is s was basically saying to them you're not K Israel you have no right to say sheir they have a right to say sheir but you don't okay so why do we reduce our Hal why do we reduce our Hal because in deference to the fact that we weren't so a when we when we went through the AMU we went to the yamu the Torah tells us there's two him like that one is spelled with a wall one is spelled without a anger there are people who were Kat weren't really associated with Hashem didn't have a fully developed imun and hasem and a relationship ship with hasm weren't talking to Hashem weren't involved with Hashem in their life and they had a hard time and then there were the other Jews who were I imagine all the Lev and so on who were and many more that they were fully attached to Hashem and they they went through this and they they saw it as the most beautiful incredibly miraculous experience and for them the water was a strong foundation and there was no fear and there was no anxiety there was the sense of an Incredible Gift and relief now I'll just parenthetically mention that that's the way Hashem wants us he doesn't want us to live fearing our very lives dayt day he doesn't want us eating our hearts out over money or health issues or children issues bnny is zing and aggravating ourselves day and night about the plight even of the Jewish people it's not really what Hashem wants Hashem wants you to view him as a right a that's our relationship to hem as a child to a father sometimes a child will be disciplined by your father that's true but even if a child is disciplined by their father there's no question about the love of the father for the son even if it's a harsh discipline a lesson that needs to be learned because it's he knows it's for his own good for his own future success and for his own moral development so therefore we kind of perhaps bow our heads to the fact and you know what we we kind of deserve to be with them but out of the great mercy of Hashem we weren't echoing the words of mish so yes we we have to thank and praise Hashem and sing the fact that we were that our lives were saved that's a sheer reaction right but a Hal reaction is a different sort of thing Hal means you know run sadik it has a little bit of a thing of you know his chosen people were saved his sacred ones his beloved ones and guess what we had a lot of War and a lot of blemishes at that time we weren't that you know gorgeous a bride just yet so cool the sh cool the H drop you know I'm not saying not to say it but with humility with humility that's how I would like to suggest we reconcile those suuk now how does all this apply to the Beeper well the Beeper rim were we let's take a look at a few things of that phenomenon that occurred to me we say that we say that in the kadha right what does that mean I'm GNA redeem you uh the way I redeemed you before acious the previous time like the last time the last time will be like the first time which means that gas MIT is the pattern and precedent for gas hamashiach okay it's got to follow a pattern it's not like we haven't been mapped out you know really organized people they map out everything meticulously right Hashem is ultra organized Ultra I mean like you know you're not going be more organized than a I mean it's just not happening Hashem set the pattern he gave a rimo he gave a quick flash to create a reality and a memory that we would then fill in later that's really the way to understand how MIT worked it was this it was like a lightning flash of a vision and now go ahead and start step by step to climb that great Mountain literally so the great Mountain approacheth okay and that means that we should find if we look maybe not even that closely parallels to the and particularly to Theos says right and 10 on theam there were multiple Miracles all over the place just look at our hundreds and hundreds of Miracles new are there not hundreds and hundreds of Miracles that have gone on recently can you name even some of them and let's go also into the PRM I could name you several Miracles but within the Miracles they were Miracles and that's what the MIT experience was we were overwhelmed Mak wasn't just a one in out look at the hag 250 you know 3 it was 50 instead of 10 it was incredibly layered nuanced and expanded why so that we would take a look at it and appreciate the incredible power of hashem's judgment and also experience his incredible love for the Jewish people so let throw out a couple of Miracles that have happened only I would say I know as you know last couple of months last couple of days go ahead what about out all of the tons of um Weaponry that Iran threw at us and not one single Jewish person was killed yeah that happened not once it happened once to Iran right and once by by nasala right so if you remember that was in response to an earlier attack and I can't I have to we have to write down all the Miracles where they had done away with uh one of the bigban Nicks what triggered that one who know you have to go back and look at all the timeline it's a massive timeline so they did there were two times that that that was done one by Iran and one byah and the only major losses that we suffered I'm not talking about fear anxiety so but there were in the first attack not even a chicken Coupe was was was Destro destroyed that's what the Arabs were saying or laughing at Iran they were laughing they were mocking hasem was Hashem is mocking his enemies and cl Israel's enemies playing games with them you didn't even kill a chicken coup and the Arabs on Arab media are laughing and laughing at them they couldn't even kill a chicken now the next attack by hasbalah actually did kill chickens and then they were sending around on the mass meeting you know Hezbollah fried chicken and they had a big picture of him the colonel Colonel Sanders Hezbollah you wow you killed a couple of chickens yay now in this most recent attack by Hezbollah after after the beepers after the walkie-talkies exploding taking out their top echelons of leaders including a man that's wanted by America for $7 million since 1983 oh that's 40 years he was he was like a kid when that happened he's an old Cocker now but 83 300 what am I talking about 300 Americans 300 and now he finally got him with a bomb that came after the beepers after the walki talkis and then a big bomb is they sat in the bottom of a residential building in Beirut no less it wasn't n over the Border in babil that cursed place where we suffered so much in 2006 it wasn't a building and who was with him the top commanders of hisbah number two number three plus all other sorts of Rogues gallery of upper echelon terrorists and Iranians Boom the what were they planning they're planning the October 7th on steroid which was to take over the Galilee kban as I mentioned earlier and boom they were vaporized now within all these Miracles with one after one after one so this time hasb responded and they killed 15 cows now I received a a a text saying that the state department of the United States considered that a major escalation in other words to move from no chickens to chickens and now 15 cows cautioned Hezbollah restraint that they should not escalate their war with Israel now they're going to call him you know like barbecue marcala or Benny's barbecue or something like that you know spare rib spare rib Su uh you know uh whatever his name is nasala NASA with barbecue sauce a g a i mean poor cows I'm not rejoicing in the death of a cow but better a cow than a Jew you know maybe maybe they were gulum of Jews and they were you know dying Kem could very well be I wouldn't be surprised at all um so now let's look at the beepers for a second if you want to compare the Beeper thing to any one of the mcos oh and there's been lots of bod right lots of bod things falling from the sky and burning right there's been lots of D um so I thought it occurred to me that if there was one Maca that the beepers would remind us of would be the following number one we know thata went into their inerts we know that it destroyed their ability to reproduce children we know that it went into their bathrooms into their bed Chambers okay we know that it made noises what maca am I describing sarda now the worda is also saara because the pay and the bay are prli inter changeable means Gathering intelligence and that's what these things were for but also importantly the you know the intelligence gathering Services some people say worked for 15 years on it I don't believe I just don't believe it I mean maybe maybe it's true I don't know I think they saw an opportunity and They seized it I don't know but in any case no one knows how it happened they put in explosiv they didn't put in explosives they let out a pulse they didn't let out a pulse the batteries exploded but maybe they didn't explode so much they exploded a little but not so much and then they detonated the the the the explosive but it was not too much explosives because it would have hurt people and you see an individual person being stricken while everybody else was a picture of him a guy in in a food market right his beeper goes off and he drops to the floor not one apple moved off off the stand he didn't knock over even one peach or one pair he just dropped to the ground alone everybody's standing around looking around what's going on around here that's a Divine Justice that's to me as targeted as macas BOS he chose the guys that deserve to die and whack them nobody else you are B you know what they say in in modern Hebrew means he's a b he's like an elite an elite person these were Elite terrorists they were well those got Mak and yeah so I can't help but look looking at it and saying how Hashem is mocking our enemies and I've always shared with you and I will share it again what my my holy mashab wolson said in 1980 something around 1984 or five or six or eight uh when I was with with him in Yeshiva and he said I man is is no they're falling one after the other after the other falling the Beeper goes off they fall down the the the Maki talki goes off they fall down they showed a guy dangling a walk talking in front of his friend an Arab and the guy went crazy and jumped and ran out of the house and then they started laughing they realized they were punking each other they were you know but the guy dangled walking talking guys there this is the m and that hasem talks about that we couldn't even imagine these guys are petrified that if his bill gives them something it's going to blow up they can't trust it they were not going to keep it in their pockets would you and therefore we can see many many things yes there's terrible suffering yes there's horrible Injustice yes there's incredible incredible failures that we have experienced and the loss of an incredibly precious immense group of people at the same time at the same time we have to recognize the hasem and that he seems to be taking with his enemies and they have their hearts hardened now remarkable thing you would think Nala would stop he says no we're going to keep fighting good good good good let us keep fighting and you know the reaction of the world has actually been shocking the the uh American State Department official who unceasingly and despicably despise his Israel and uses every opportunity every time he speaks to disparage them he thanked Israel for taking out this guy eal UK UK is like a like a when some some grabs control of your bank account you know it's like a bad thing this guy's name was e or whatever his name was and they say oh thanks he's worth $7 million reward I appreciate it that you took out this guy he deserved to die what what what about that we bombed innocent children oh y yo oh yyo these innocent children and no that doesn't didn't come out of his mouth and that's another sign that a KES actually if we if we can if we can hold on with Aruna the T and we show strength and faith and unity the world will catch on and and I'll just conclude with this an incredible sh of CLA CLA Israel got a tremendous compliment what was the compliment so the commentators in the Arab world said why did they why did Gaza talk why is all this going on now because they were convinced that Israeli Society was so fractured and so much baseless hatred so much sinum going on with all of the all of the media they said this group if we just pressure it will disintegrate and they really believe that and they right for believing it because that's how the rest of the world would react that's how they would react that's how they have reacted they're loosely held together and when they go at each other and other people attack boom so they thought the same thing would happen to the Jews and they were shocked to find out that that's not what a Jew does they were shocked to find out the Jews don't fall apart but even under the worst circumstances and the most unfair circumstances they can get together and when they do they're incredibly powerful and that hasem is on our side so what they complained about in the Arab media says these were false articles you see this was this was Espionage harat's newspaper you wrote These articles to convince us that Israel was defeatable and that was terrorism on the part that was thank you you see how Hashem uses even the most backwards inside out connections with no intent to for his purposes Hashem used hits and all those people who whatever they said they said to convince the Arabs that now is the time to attack just so that they could be destroyed thank you hars thank you now byy our prescription since the Arabs think that you fooled them and the on the and the fiesta resistance of all this is that s that some people are suggesting that the helicopter that carried Iran's president what was his name again salami halimi what was his name again I forget hania hania um there was a beeper on board that went off you see how paranoid and crazy they are truth is it was the weather but now they're even so inside their head that it was a beeper as if the other beepers wouldn't have all gone off simultaneously I don't know it was a beeper they're afraid and that's the pad that grips our enemies when it's time for us a small nation to get rid of a large says they'll run seven ways and they're running away and they're saying the beepers the beepers the beepers help this [Music] is is that I do think it would been proper sing when the beepers went off but you have to sing this song they were planning a terrible thing [Music] not have a great rest of the week be well [Music] oh
