Welcome to my life because it is supplied episode 293. A good hey - we're going into the montrachet - what? So very blessed month to all of you and to all of us to special month, especially for siddim being that this year, uh fat in 10 days from now will be Shivan Shana the beginning of the 70th Year from when the rebbe assume leadership right after this talk was the passing of the 3D culebra's Ashima subash a mesh as the sun sets. The sun rises the Rebus own words that he described the passing from the sea is from the Deborah shop to the physical web. This happened a huge swath of Chanute. And of course, we're honoring that and celebrating that it's such a vital day in a vital year 70th anniversary and we've been doing in the past few weeks and we'll be doing some more today in this program. I want to begin with the dedication and honor that this program is dedicated in honor of Gail Wisner the Haines family and for the safe and Speedy return of competitors. Been Gita fraida dedicated by Esther mulroy whose birthday as well is this week So happy birthday. We're also just announced last week the sixth annual. I likes it has supplied essay contest and this year. We've added a new track a creative and artistic track, which I'm also going to be speaking about but before we get into that and to the fascinating questions of this week's program, I want to say that please look forward to a surprise announcement about how we're going to do a special event and program around you. Fat which is as I said next Wednesday a week from Wednesday and some interesting things that I am sure that all of us will appreciate and not just as a celebration but actually a declaration of re embracing the revolution that the rebbe initiated on huge fat which began 70 years ago. We'll be talking about that in specific detail and things most importantly that we can do. Because the end of the day it's all action. It's not fairy. What can you and I in each one of us do I will be speaking about that and many different other as I said surprises that will belong announcing as the day's rolled by So one of the things that I'll just I've already spoken some suggestions last week and two weeks ago by preparing for the 70th beginning of the seventh anniversary. And remember this is just the beginning the entire year is the 70th year. So look forward to many different interesting things that we'll be doing to honor that and again always bring it down to action in ways that we can be part of this revolution that we can make a difference and make a mark and actually fulfill and realize the mission for which we were here in this world, which Is to bring the skin and the words of the lab in Boston the Gannett option you Dallas at 69 years ago when he assumed formerly the leadership the Debbie said that our generation the seventh generation is to bring the skin of the divine presence from heaven from the lowest Heaven to Earth itself, the total Fusion of matter and spirit the purpose for which all existence was created from the beginning of time. So indeed something exciting and we are here to not just live through it but to be part of the unfolding drama Rama The unfoldings Narrative of History itself and bring it to that powerful place that powerful paste the Fulfillment of something that everybody has been waiting for from the beginning of time. So I thought everything is Divine Providence has called for practice this program began around between havdalah Davis and huge fat. That's when we began the first program seven years ago the essay contest since we designated I'll ask me. What about why I mean between Because one year, it was closer to covid Al Davis. This is the art side that is tacos. And hula valtira Bandits fact is just a few days after that another two weeks afterwards. So the contest is associated with these days. So I thought it'd Divine Providence what better way to honor and to celebrate and to bring into action. The rebels Vision which of course is the vision of all that I blame all the 7th at Bain and the vision of all Rebus and all leaders from the beginning of time. I should have been all the way going from the beginning of History itself the vision of manifesting and actualizing and making practical applying Toyota in general are see this in particular which is premium cetera in the words of Michelle to the Baal Shem Tov your food. So - siracusa taking the Wellsprings and bringing them hoods up. Hoots amines in space in time but also in spirit the idea of bringing it to into our language and into a paradigm and a platform and a platforms that everybody can access it. Because when we speak about the future the gorilla and the near future we should say the immediate future. Well, how is it described by Isaiah Isaiah? The prophet Mala is Daya as a sham kamiyama cast there will be no more layer devilishly soon. There'll be no more evil and no more destruction because the entire world will be filled with Divine knowledge as the waters cover the sea Divine knowledge. That means entire Earth every human being in the words of the number maimonides at the end of his safe emission and It really a circle a lamella DA secession Boulevard the business of the world will be nothing but to know God that doesn't mean everyone will be theologians will mean that everything we do it will be clear. It's a means for divine expression for Spiritual. for Spiritual expression So whatever you see in the world, whether it comes down to miniscule little plant or ask for the birds in the sky or whatever it is. We will see the hand inside the glove which today is concealed. So how do we prepare for that by living our lives that way by studying and aligning ourselves with such a vision recognizing that your body is a vehicle for your soul. So just as the entire universe will be seen the hand inside the glove. We will see the hand within our glove within our body within our garment. We will see the soul shining through and since we energy and matter will be fused as one. So what better way to prepare for that among many different ways and I'm sure there are many ways and people all over the world are preparing is to actually write an essay or produce a creative artistic way of expressing Hasidic thought I said this is this Mother's Day assassin. It's understanding is godliness. It's about godliness. It's about how God created the universe and expressing it in a way that we apply and idea of sadistic contemporary life challenge or issue is of course the essence of the essay contest, but now that we've expanded it we have other ways to express it. It can also express it through photography to visual arts through music through poetry to a video presentation. And if you go to City supply.com / contest, you'll see all the guidelines and all the rules. But I want to take it even further practical suggestion to parents and Educators in particular, but this is really not limited to them. So all of us. I've received much much feedback now and over the years of how much people who are involved in this contest how it affected their lives even to the point of not being overdramatic transforming people's lives. I am a different person individuals told me a mother a father told me that when we were involved with our children and doing this it literally transformed our homes. So here's my suggestion suggestion. Yes, it is a way of celebrating of a way of disseminating and publicizing the contest but I think it's a great suggestion and I'll soon tell you my reasons behind it after I explain the suggestion and that is simply whether you're a parent of children obviously have to know which age children but children that are capable of doing this. Why don't you challenge them and then Device that besides the $10,000 Prize or the $1,000 artistic prize incentivize them say what are you dealing with? Let's deal with a challenge one. Trial may say there's bullying going on in my classroom Others May say, I'm bored. There's all kinds of different things people children go through a teenagers, especially identify something and say, you know, what? Why don't we work on together since we're taught that Toyota is blush inherit. ETA is offers us a directive in life. It's a Ooh print for life. And since we're also looking see this as an answer to all our issues. I will help you. Let's find some sources are secret from the rebel from the free Dakota by my myrrh and Egan a song something that addresses this issue. Tell me what you think will take place the child and the same thing I say to Educators and the students you have a class you're teaching them class what will happen they'll be excited because it's something that's touching them your practice irritate. Participating with them helping them with sources reviewing but you want them to do it you want them to initiate but you're part of it. It will create an exciting few weeks as you're immersed and involved with it and this I say not as a guest or speculation conjecture because I've heard that be talking about it by the table other siblings will weigh in. Well, what better way what is the rebel give us this for is to make it real to address real issues in our lives apply? It to our personal lives. This is the best way to do it and guaranteed will have lasting impact in addition to giving you such an actress and pride to the debit. Now. If you do something around busted leg on me than mine were itself and derive lessons from that. Not even my name even better. Perhaps we'll even add extra credit points for that. But it doesn't have to be exclusively to that moment. But that mind of course is the moment that the rebels said 3D could have a last moment that was published by the physical a band that ever began that moment Buster the gonna eat ocean your Olive and then every year afterwards would explain one of the 20 chapters and then went through a second cycle and the third cycle. So this is a practical suggestion as I said teachers and students is what you're teaching a class. Anyway a class in total students make an assignment. The prize will come from us. You don't have to spend any money. It'll be a $10,000 first prize $3,600 second prize at $1,000 third prize and a special student prize. That's only a student movement. They can also win the top prize. Or if somebody wants to do it through artistic expression, so we now have allowed that as well. I find this to be an easy. Guess it takes work, but it's enjoyable work a labor of love of way of honoring and actually implementing with the debit told us to do to make it. Look who's guarding this real in our lives to make cities real in our lives. If food. So many Circle cutter on the words of the Rebel ahem Sheikh Hasina LaMotta Mama's to draw down godliness in this world take an issue of this world and address it with a Godly approach, which is what this is. Stitches this is the essence of the contest now. Let me add this. I mentioned this in the past when I first thought of the idea which was just you know has got applaud. This was a year after we were doing my life the program that Weekly program and the my office said so how do we honor the first anniversary was much more successful than we expected more questions came in the listenership was growing and continues to grow. It was quite the very touching to see and it was very powerful. So, I don't know. Something came to me. I said essay contest idea. I don't even remember what sparked that you know how ideas they fly from anywhere. Okay, we passed around and not everybody was so excited. What did I do? I just saw you know, what? Let me write up the the purpose of the contest what its objectives are and its benefits and I sent it to one of our powerful sponsors one of our contributors donors. And I spelled out how much we would need we would need for the prizes for some Administration other work no income from it. And to my not to my surprise, but very quickly excellent idea committing to it. And that is the more Roman foundation and my dear friend a beautiful Mirage really from the hood saleya in Israel and continue to commit it's only grown. So we need even more money than we're getting. So if anybody's interested in contributing to this, it's a great cause we got to do is contact me directly if you wish or you can go online to my city supply.com and donate but that's an aside. Let me get back to the topic. Okay, so we launched a contest within a week or two. I got an email from a friend. He says look at this letter from the rub Vol 10 and you go skaters page 238 239. It's a letter dated you test Tavis the 18th of Tavis tough skin test valve that was the equivalent the 1955 letter many years ago something immediately struck me and I said to myself I'm where do I know that date from I write an email to my office and I say, can you can you tell me send me the email that I first sent to everybody? What day was it? Would you believe it was you trust Ava stuff Shin Ian? Hey 50 years to the day when the rubber wrote that letter where he says these words that we know that the really get students involved. It's a letter to a woman educator. We know that the get students really involved is that they should make presentations not just be taught but they should initiate a presentation then the rubber continues since huge vat is coming. It's really says He suggests that the students Should write a master an essay in honor of your twat describing my father-in-law the physical web is work and his contributions. I couldn't believe it. I called up the principles of the others woman School here in New York. I said does anyone know about this letter? It's a printed load anyone ever. Did anything like the snow? So I said to myself, oh mama said directive of the Deb that takes a whole different dimension. It was a good suggestion and I have you all thought it was a good suggestion. I did work out. So if you need a direct here are the covid huge fat that was tops until involved in our adoption pay that was five years after Tosha nude now, we're 70 years after so you have that additional reason. And perhaps the main reason to actually do this. I'm not suggesting it's going to be absolutely easy, but it's a work that will only give you more dividends than what you'll invest in it and I say this to everyone that's listening to this and please share it with others. I think it's a tremendous opportunity and and we're excited to be part of it, but it can happen without you and especially for educators and parents to me. It's a no-brainer who doesn't want their children to be excited. There's Used to be excited about siddhis about the rebel about the mission and you can write about that to the mission itself the Danish be what better topic but personalize it make it real not just a theory and idea and Analysis apply it and use creative all your creative juices and all your creative skills. They said again go to sit has applied that cam / contest for all the details all the rules and guidelines as always follow them after you finish whatever you're doing just go through the Guidelines make sure check it off like a checklist. I did this this this and this show it to another person and are guaranteed a light in your chances of actually winning. But as I always say everybody's a winner the mere fact that you do this will be something that will last the rest of your life ask people who've done it as past Year's winners and that's how I feel is one of the great ways to especially this year the shavings from the 70th year of the rebels in serious leadership to I just contribute but to shine and to really bring a citizen alive alive in our personal lives, which is of course the entire objective of this program. so with that said the deadline for the contest I should mention is February 23rd, or the county equivalent of has spots essentially a month from now good for weeks. Okay. With that let us go too. A question regarding the data XI which we spoke about last week in episode 2 92, but another question came in then I'll talk about a stranger's fat and boy and then a bunch of interesting and also some fortunate questions that we have to address as part of see this addressing the entire spectrum of life. Sometimes Pleasant some time not just Pleasant things but it is always has what to say as the Tailoring. Will has what to say to us Direction guidance strength and Hope. So the question about the connected to data SRI Dentistry again remember is the day the rebel describe this generation when he assumed formerly the leadership huge vat of senior dolloff 1951 and he referred to us the generation the seventh from the alte Deb. I'll today was the first me acid the founder of cities Chabad Little Debbie's generation to that some exotic Generation 3, then marash for generation for the British armed generation 5 3 decrepit Generation 6 And then a generation Generation 7 and compared equated it with a Seventh Generation from of Rama VIII know based on the medals in the beginning of busted leg on each side and from she Reshiram NAB that of Rome was the first to reverse the process that had deteriorated and toxified existence through the iniquities and wandering away and the Betrayal of our destiny. Otherwise called A Nevada this alignment I've robbed Where's the process and return the Shekinah the Divine prevalent private the divine presence to the seventh heaven? And then you talk to the sixth and the next Generations and no lower lower until my should have been to the 7th from avraham avinu from Abraham, of course received at 8:00 at Sinai after you taste my its name and then build the mishkan vishanti be sacrum and this Earth not a Michigan in heaven now the Tabernacle or temple in heaven a sanctuary in heaven sexually made from gold silver. Copper material items in which God would reside and dwell among us and within us the circle a quadric Antipas a computer. Has every man and woman every human being every to every child and so on. Okay, so the rebel Queens the to so among the different Expressions that ever use one was the last that we are the last generation of Godless, hence and the first of the goal that's the data. She concluding the process that began with altitude above it began even longer before that and concluding So here's the question. Someone asked was that Epi statement that we are the last generation of Godless in the first generation of gula just had brought in a wish or was there more to it? Being that almost all the people who were at that fabric and have passed on. So the rubber made it very clear the double question that first of all. Even those that passed on that doesn't mean they don't have children and grandchildren who are all part of that generation. Just like we talked about the incident that left mitzrayim. They all also passed on besides call of in Yeshua and yet we're told at the end of commissioned the been the pastor key survey when moisture says, it's 40 years now. They need lamb that leave the Dust. And so on from which we derive that after 40 years you come to understand fully like I initiated the rabbit. Have a heart that understands. And the other Expressions there in the pasok and that I've asked the question. I remember was in tough soon was the 40th Year from Top Chanute. Let me said but many of the people and most of the people were born later. They weren't there 40 years ago, but they were the children of and they heard about it and they were part of the experience. So it continues on even after the people actually left me sir. I am as I said most indeed. Most people didn't enter it useful. That's one regarding the issue of a brothel or a wish for sure. It's a bra can always but they're devastated as a midseason when you read the my Mombasa Lagana. He says clearly it's a tool de means another do with our effort has nothing to do with our very dear with our will with our choice as he explains. It's simply because we're born in the Danish V. We like it or not. This is where birth we are the Dentistry the Frida Club was the sixth generation by default that makes us the Seventh Generation. And the seventh generation is the generation that brings the goal by the level was much more than a broken a wish. It was a reality why didn't happen yet. I do not have the answer for that. But the rubber did say clearly put in Topsham Zion and then again half-dressed innocent option on Olive that it's up to us. There's something we must do very clear. So as long as the goal is not here in its fullest sense of the word. It behooves us to do something. Of course, we beg Rahman is from God that we should have compassion and just lead us out of dollars enough suffering enough the pain enough what we went through over the last few thousand years of expecially in the last century, but that's one part of the second part is we still have to do what we have to do and rise up as adults rise to the occasion and do what we have to do for this state us V and fulfill and finish the process that ever charged us with God also episodes 126 and 216 where I spoke about this little more at length and this is a good opportunity to the supply.com is our website where you can find the full array of resources, including all the previous episodes archived a form where you can submit an anonymous question completely Anonymous and encourage you to do so there is a backlog I'd be I have to be honest, but I'm really committed to addressing them all and we'll just keep plugging away. You combine some topics especially there's something timely address it in a timely fashion. And of course you'll also find that the essays you want an example of winning essays or generally great essay. Just look at that website in the essay section. You'll see essays in the last five years of the contest. And every week at the end of this program we go over three more essays in order as they were marked. So we're still reviewing the essays 2019 while the new essay contest has just been launched as mentioned before. Okay, make it helps to cut in between Patterson the pastas they say a little break not a break in time. Just stating that and let's go now into some important questions. Well, there are important but some are more relevant than Tommy than others and some questions after always somewhat package them a little bit because I don't like to read something that can be offensive, but I try to address everything. So we're going to right now begin with this question and it's not in any particular order. Is it okay for a topic to say an untruth? Yeah, as way this person wrote is okay for it's a lie to lie. If someone lies which is a Nevada ass in Madras Checker tirek. Stay away from Ally does that disqualify them from being at Sadiq it would seem so because it's a directive Ada. And in relevance to current parts of the curtain parishes and to have has Tavis which was yesterday the birthday the hundred and fortieth birthday of the rabbits encounter that I'm his mother, which is actually the same year when the Frida Club was born tougher - men. Which is 18 18 4018. I'm sorry 18 18 8 1880. The free the club was born as was rabbits and hundreds of chronic cough has tabs the free declare by Judas Thomas. So relevance to the current passion Comcast Avis, here are two points the writer writes about this issue why the measure the been to light the party and say let our people go worship our god with implication. That was just doing going to be a short trip of three days and they would come back and continue working as slaves while the truth is they had no intentions to had all the intentions to leave and not come back. Also, we're going to comfort us David. It said when the rebels brother passed away label. So are you lab the debit didn't want the bad news to adversely affect his mother. So he forged letters in his brother's name. So his mother would think he was still alive. Is this allowed according to Allah? Okay, good questions. So let's begin. Yes. Second is not acceptable to flee because everyone's told his daughter that limits in the composite lambertson Hai mushkil that alley and Emmas definition almost on you don't always have to say the truth. But Allah, you must never say that means you're not the always you could withhold the truth but not ever say a lie. So of course a like or not the state is unacceptable and yet we find the concept in Isaiah that says muttered not just lashon. He's which means it's you're allowed to change. I think the potential to preserve peace and then there's an expression with the leash academic potential allowed to lie. In order to preserve. Peace. We know the story without an Avenue. I've had on acclaimed God Aladdin that one of the reasons that all the Jewish people it says the men and women more and after him but you've could call you slow not just called b'nai Israel. Not just the children the boys. The male's was because that's what Alan did he was a man among the people and he would make schoelen like the mission is says have a midterm. Neither shall R&B from the students of an array of Charles Invader. Show them love peace pursue. Peace. What would he do says the measures he would go when we saw two people who had were in somewhat of crawl quarrel. He would go to each one of them separately and say, you know the person you're this, you know, what they said about you another person would assume all the worst said no, they said beautiful things about you then it would go to the other one and say the same thing. There wasn't always exactly the way but that created Goodwill among them and he recreated peace. So you'll ask the question. How does that still work? Because for good cause you could lie. Now obviously the river spoke about this in the mems. I don't have the source right now. I'll look it up and I'll let you know next week and they never spoke about it means you have to know who's saying it and with what condition if they're doing it for their own tent agenda, but people have Bittle understand. The famous story with Alta debit learn learn Teta with the maggots sun above Ramallah Ultra balloon with him nigga. He would learn with Al Qaeda but please mr. Tarek see this and I'll in that way they would get so caught up in The Exodus part about Roman balak. That's why it was called malloc. He would literally like his whole Spirit you would like be Beyond time and space and the ultra but that moment when he didn't notice, but turn the clock back so you can have more time learning with him see this. such a seemingly deceptive and the lever brings that when it says about That laessig Nave which is a form of stealing which is a form of cannabis does stealing someone's consciously that get her doing something that they're stealing their intention is that they continue learning only for a certain period and here you're fooling them. So there's a hyphen between the law and signif because the zero says there's a thing called gonna vote dilution introduces. Sometimes there's an element of theft. Now, of course, you need to go great discretion who's doing it and what their intention is. So this isn't some license that you could determine, you know what this case I could lie because it's a good thing because not going to create Mike like that's not that's not necessarily the case Ms. Remains a pure thing, but there are instances in my movie me and talk with Alta Bellator set. Stolen waters are the sweetest. That was the sweetest moments when I did that the extra time I had learned Exodus but this is only by people who are absolutely endless people through and through for them. This is an effort to do something like that. So my answer is no at sad because not shy at all why something is killing animals There's No Agenda is no personal gain are there times with there's a concept that they may say something different is because only not because of their game is because that would be what the Divine God would want. And that is also be looked at very seriously and you can't just take that as used as a license across the board regarding my should I buy a new with Pottery there? The simple answer is Patty was Hitler your makishima was afraid you do whatever it takes because nefesh. Is this the color Tater cool even a lie. This wasn't like. Oh, we had a deal we work for you and so on it was slave labor and the worst possible way with genocide and murder and so on. And yet there's still Misfortune that wonder how could my chef said something even for a moment? So there's explanations for that one of the explanations is that meisha did intend to go back but not to go back as slaves but to go back and Conquer and free and take out everything. They wanted from it Simon not just rush out. They're different explanations. But the point is that never becomes never has been shown is it called a lie? It's called a necessary truth. Sometimes has to be packaged like that. As far as the Devil with the letter of the letters to his mother wasn't by the way for a long letters. It was a few lines and I wouldn't called for jury. That's a very strong word. It was called keep a name his mother had gone through what she had gone through a lost her husband was the sun earlier battle Sean bed. They'd better rather and the the end after what his mother went through. He wanted to just be making life a little easier for it enough to necessarily put her in her face. People. Say she knew anyway, but was not official. Coming from the debit a person who never said something untrue. Come on, let's land you can imagine if he did it. You can rest assured that it's in the spirit of Ms. And Emma says different ways. They've met their says that when God wanted to create the world. He asked Ms. What to do them said do not create the world that smallish got him is filled with lies. I'm at the secret God then went ahead and asked her I said, what do you say has had said? Yes create the world because then Kindness will be kindness in the world. What Dave has to do he took Ms. Through down to the Earth to not follow. He said that we say m has met its Mark the explanation is that Ms. Is still in this existence. But if you go with pure Emma since not in any way put into garments that can allow the eggs world to exist and it's term on its terms. It will destroy the world. But then with the world does what it has to do step-by-step the MS that's embedded in Earth will emerge Tessa is the ruling cardinal rule that drives existence, but that doesn't mean God forbid the MS is not there. Just the question how when we teach children, for example, here's a candy because you learned well incentive will take you to the toy store. Why is that not a lie? That's not the reason that you're giving them a toy. Why don't you just tell them tell you this is the most sweetest and most beautiful thing on existence and that alone is the end. You don't need to have a price so that I've explained the story with Malik monk all that we say when we take The physically able to take a child into I finish into school you throw them candies and you say Malcolm a call through this canvas never said you just getting a child with a lie. They know later they'll grow up but I'm not moloch must call them said no it is because they candies understand social the sweetness in the candies are evolved from the sweetness in rock igneous magma call comes from Hazard. So actually the candies is my luck mark on the form that children can relate to let us check it. It's a an MS packaged in a language that like a muscle when you give an analogy in the teaching you're not distorting its only way to understand it. Now of course case-by-case like yeah Cove. Yes also dressed up in the garments of asaph to take the Brokers from his father another discussion, but it's a similar idea. It's an m is packaged in the low volume of this world who sham is bad in the language of Citizen order to achieve the intended result, which always has to come from Bittle and not from someone's in person. Interest it's still a subtle thing and angst and people can say well, I'm coming from Biddle. So you want to check with another person before you entertain this option of doing such a something. That would be called an untruth. The next question is the one that's more painful that I need to address it because of the issues involved and broke my heart when I read this letter if you're in a particular fragile sensitive place, maybe viewer discretion advised but nevertheless. This is an important topic how to address the recent suicides. Hi, I'm sure you heard of the double suicide by two girls in Jerusalem this week this past week. What do you have to say regarding this matter? To me this points to a deep problem in our society our system, but that word is way overused young people myself included feel no connection and meaning are teachers and Educators live with their memories and the memories effects and the men and their memories effects, which cannot be transferred to others. They live by words that are black and white while the words were spoken by a living loving person, which by definition is in black and white Judaism by us became either plain. And empty rules that interest only those void of any interest or some undefined siddhis kite possessing no structure or inherent meaning meaning for some it works those that like following rules those that found some excitement or status, etc. Etc. But for most youngsters used for the effect, no one knows the true numbers. So I'm not suggested. I know the what the numbers are. All it takes is a little trigger and this dream world comes crashing down be it sexual abuse not little it's not a little thing emotional abuse emotional Detachment social difficulties Financial challenges easily blend on our system marital problems sexual issues and the list goes on so Rabbi Jacobsen how many more suicides? Will it take the shake up? Shake us up and make a change my guess no change to our system will ever happen. But if I may make a suggestion the roots of the problem won't change, but let's at least be more proactive about taking care of the symptoms and diseases there needs to be a Mental Health Organization geared specifically for the voters. Baruch Hashem. There's more wealthy Lubavitch than ever and this can easily be subsidized by our own. They will be ecstatic to support this entire organization that can be a subdivision geared toward slocum's kids, especially those that left home at an early age. This is a must. Thank you for starting this podcast and creating a platform to educate and help us. If I'm a request. Can you please indicate in the description of the episode they will be addressing this topic so I can find your response. Thank you. I've had other. Request written request to speak about this. I also had a heart-wrenching phone call from an anonymous young woman who says she knew these girls same age same situation and herself is a risk as she put it and she says it's really / coefficient the deepest form of the way. She was a cry for help. So Anna platform consider supplied. My life is it has applied a real issue like this cannot be ignored. That's why I'm addressing it. That's not the first time I've spoken about it, even though I don't like to refer to say okay, you know, I've spoken about it here go to this and this number program. It's a little insensitive. So I'm not going to do that right now, even though I will give some reference simply because it's on the record and I have spoken about so let me just share a few words on this topic. Of course this girl that called me I try to give her as much encouragement hope and try to give her get involved in something exactly right. I mean suicide of course is Run this on the family. I mean can't even imagine I don't even know what to say. So of course the first thing is to extend our constellations comforting anyway that each of us can help just give people a little strength a little older hand. It will support encouragement whatever it takes but in the broader picture the question with bothers us all unfortunately the bother sometimes this dissipates as time passes is what's going hang on. Of course, we need short-term Solutions hotlines organizations people who are here and ready to speak to young men and women just to show them that someone cares. That's a big one show them that someone cares but we also have to look at the longer term preemptive. It's simply unacceptable to have young people walking around empty. And feeling unwanted or feeling unfulfilled or feeling bored. I guess a boredom. Ok, so everyone's know it's a vacuum is the beginning. I'm not suggesting. Everyone board is going to become suicidal. God forbid. Absolutely not but why do we even leave a vacuum? Why do we leave nature abhors? A vacuum human nature abhors boredom just to do nothing because then you're looking for things and that always going to be healthy and they're not always going to be distressed destructive completely, but they can be semi destructive and different levels different it. actions different involvements So yes, it is a crisis. We don't have to panic and hysteria, but we have to be sense of urgency and a sense of compelling need to do something to give our children activities that excite them. Yeah, we know this is Shiva system has a structure and no one's suggesting changing that obviously you can add Infuse it with vitality and passion and relevance. Absolutely but not every student is always capable of sitting all day and studying at Anna Bench or seat. Some may need creative Outlets. Some may need extra curricular activities. So may need different ways of doing things. So parents and Educators need to put their heads together to create even more than we've created. And I'm not suggesting. I'm not coming in at some savior that saying here's ideas. You never thought of I might Point really goal is just to bring it to everybody's attention as much as possible and use this platform in the following. Thank God that reaches quite wide to talk about it. The real goal is we should all put our heads together. I'm just throwing out some ideas not just as talk and right and lift up my hands and say, oh, you're very what are we going to do that there we must do this. This has to become a collective and individual effort doesn't we'll have to wait till it hits close to home God. Two-bit, we're all one family and frankly. This isn't just for the bond matures. This is for all people. Obviously begin at home where you are close to your community. But the goal would be to reach everyone and there are organizations that have Arisen to address this we have to work with them and not try to recreate the wheel and see what's needed What's missing? There should be a hotline that anyone can call anonymously and people are ready to volunteer simply to take someone out to dinner or just speak with them or go to a game or whatever. It takes to get somebody a little stimulated and if you see something you see someone that your own child or another child that something seems off that the child seems depressed. We are not allowed to stand by the side and just ignored them be apathetic obviously has to be addressed with sensitivity. Everyone has family. You can just send the adopt a child without proper proper proper discussion with parents. I don't mean adopt physically. I mean in a more psychological sense of the word but to care So I'm putting it on the table for all of us. I made some quick Suggestions by no means exhausted most importantly I want to say this to the people who wrote to me or reached out to me. I'm not going to ignore this will bring it up. You should know you have a sympathetic ear in myself. And anyone I can reach and never forget that and know there are people who care and people who love you unconditionally. Your child of God some loves you put you on this world in this Earth with a purpose unique purpose that you and only you can accomplish and myself included and every one of us. It will be dedicated to help you fulfill that mission and purpose and that's not a small matter because all of existence is hanging in the balance because if you don't do what you have to do, all of us are not complete. And the words of the debit Shivam shown is 70 years that were on honoring now bus the guy that yes, you you have a slick has a particular mission to fulfill and finishing the job and bringing the machinery and the Google we have to join together to address this all this crisis again in a way that is a balanced way not talking about hysteria and panic but not one. That's either complacent and just to be able to just to do it because Justice That we're doing something. Everyone has thoughts and suggestions. Please submit them to me. I'll be happy to share them. If you want me to read something or you have something I'd like to like to share with me that I can present everybody and welcome them as some way please do so as well. I'm a partner in anyone wanting to address such a critical issue because this is under Foster's These Are the souls then the sum is the sum is have our youth this is the future. These are the people who will March us and all of us into the Ghulam eat this fresh lime. So going forward maybe never know from any such tragedies again, but the whole so going forward. We need to know what we have to do and should do I must do to prevent anything of this nature short-term and long-term. Okay. I did speak about this topic. As I said, I would refer to simply not because I'm trying to be technical but because there's more information there episodes to 13 through 215 was a lot about our teenagers drowning and episode 244 as well. And I hope never have to speak about it not because I don't want and I'm because I'm pushing it away, but because never needs to speak about it because we'll have solved our cashews. Okay? Would that let us go to the next topic? So the last few weeks we've been speaking a lot about secular wisdom secular sciences and Torah and the balance is all began with the rambam. Oh no VOC and so if you're interested in this topic and you're listening for the first time just go back to episodes. This is 293. I began in 1991 with a birthday of the the yard side rather the outside of the rambam cough Davis speaking about this topic, but there's still some issues that I have addressed over. Years because this has been a recovery period idea and questions that people ask about secular wisdom secular teachings torrent. So on so I'm going to do one or two more and will continue as we go in the coming weeks because time limitations Okay, so a little follow-up first of all. Follow-up to the previous episodes secular studies and how to gain per nozzle without learning secular studies. And also without going on Slickers this person's writing about that saying, thank you so much for your amazing presentations every week. Question number one that I have in this week's episode this last week's episode 292 while discussing the idea of secular studies. You mentioned that the main idea the rebel wanted to bring out was with who speak with the speaking about secular studies was thinking in the gate the idea of taxes. I either you need a career to succeed. I was always under the impression that it wasn't just a philosophical idea. But rather than in practice, there should be only the Moody kadish only Hebrew studies Jewish studies and Chabad schools. Not even English and math. Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong. I focused on that primary thing because that was a big driving element that the rebels spoke about because remember in the Toyota now cause all you find Scholars tannoy manometer. I'm who were masters of mathematics in physics and cosmology and astronomy laws of vehicles Kiddush accreditation a Ravine and so on and there were those that actually involved and they have dialogues with different to scientists and thinkers. So there's nothing per say about cock Mahatma but going Tommy there is a wisdom with which God created the world. We spoke about that's not the purpose of existence that you find the Taylor but there's a wisdom. There's a science there's a anatomy of whether it's Anatomy or biology or chemistry or Dermatology or ecology. You can go on from A to Z to zoology. So there's a science to it. The question is when it's balanced and you understand that it's part of the picture of how God created the world and is complemented by knowing why he created it. It's one thing but when there's an imbalance in the sun they focus. We're only going to focus on the tool chest on the science and forget about the God that was major thing that the rebel wanted to address in addition because we do live in a society where science is worshipped it sometimes worst. It's almost like a religion if not more. That the rebels talking about that, of course bring a from Tanana Thomas kabocha beneficial, especially philosophies and so on. So, of course there's more to it and I discussed in many earlier episodes, which I referred to and I'm going to go refer to them again. But then the day riding a bicycle or driving a car or knowing how to add two plus two is four balancing your account. Is that secular studies? Penmanship how to write a letter how to sign a letter we all do it one way or another but we don't worship. It's not an end in itself. It's a tools like learning how to use a screwdriver or Hammer not to dismiss the column of it the wisdom of it but not to worship it. How much to study yes in a holy environment that ever wanted as much surrounding children, especially in impressionable years with as much good douches possible, but it's inevitable even give Mario can understand what certain math without me certain mathematical principles. The rebel was careful that it shouldn't become an end in itself. I've always maintained that I never felt that the devil was saying that children should not be taught maybe outside of school or their parents or home taught certain basic skills. We're not talking about the loss of his of a secular world or or a pasta thoughts of atheists or agnostics Her heresy, we're talking about skills and trades and so on. Question number two. What is the prognosis solution for Anna wants to abide by the principle of not learning secular studies and doesn't feel like he can be a Slayer or mechanic an educator. As you mentioned. This week's in this past weeks episode. Thank you again, and I hope to learn from you concerning these issues. So this is again we've spoken about a number of times. I'll just be brief because it's a topic obviously that's still relevant than affects everybody obviously being Ashley economy in the working in The area's I'll tell us a kadish. Which means areas that are connected to kedusha to Tater to teaching education or Slickers and so on click a Dish as we call it that's optimal. But that doesn't mean we have many many years from my man. Whatever their Slickers is and sometimes even the lever push them in that direction. Everything has to always be done towards the Divine even if you're working in something that is not directly. Click a turd. About Lasik business and finance a merchant a dealer a Trader a retailer wholesaler. I mean goes on and on people in computers people in different areas of the business world that too has guidelines. It has a lot of guidelines for that how one Masters that to be honest. I've heard so many different stories. I hear people who made a lot of money and they'll tell you they never went to any school. They just had good instincts. Good Common Sense the good with people and Basel others. Yes, some people went alone computer training others different traits. So I don't know if there's a black and white answer to this question because you've seen both you've seen people's to majorly successful without any of any secular studies at all. You have others with secular studies that are not that successful. Does it up your chances? Look there are many people who did not go to secular education now that they're in business. They may go to a workshop. They may go here at all. They may go to a seminar. They may go to continuing education. They are you talking about people already our families who have a center in their lives. It's a whole different story that have been made that very clear and is directly connected to Panos inaudible says if it's upon us it's a whole different story. It's a particular goal, but the salmon is study and maybe it's going to help our NASA as another story. Again. It's Case by case and it's hard to make one black and white room and those that do often make mistakes and they're not necessarily doing Justice to the members nuances. Is and all the other areas that are not always so black and white. Okay. Another follow-up was we spoke about science and Taylor's question was why is science not tired. It's also from God talk about the wisdom of God the Divine wisdom and creation not humans human wisdom. So follow-up, you mentioned that science isn't tainted because it isn't direct instruction to elaborate which means Tatum Russian are at ETA is when you want to know what God wants you to do once you to wake up in the morning and Daven or let's take me to assessor that I saw over there a button whatever it may be Tanya Mitchell is there tells you what you want you to do the spirit of Allah. Even if my Danny is not a mistress that ice, but it's the spirit. Cassius Obviously things like obviously slow The Ten Commandments. I mean, I'm not going to just randomly choose anything. That's Direction God is that's what I want you to do. This is how you will be the healthiest possible person and this is what you should avoid doing because we're doing it you become destructive to yourself and to others that's Tara science doesn't speak so statement science will tell you facts. I will tell you that here is what makes something tick this is what makes the clock tick. This is what makes the planets move. These are the subatomic particles that shape atoms that in turn shape molecules that in turn shape elements. If you manipulate certain energies, you can create Technologies. It doesn't tell you this is what you should do morally or ethically So what is direct link a direct track of reflection of what God wants you to be the other our tools as I said before means that help you build a nice home and then you use the home the shim sham. I called my circle - I'm sure my Beholder today. You can study the atom and learn about God's Unity as the rubber explains in a letter as well as other things everything. Actually. Everything is a lesson alike, but it's a lesson to the thing itself is a means. You have a table the table is a means to eat either the kosher meal learnt a doubt. It is a solution. For people to come together and do something to do with the Dynamics of the table itself that science understanding the table so science does not have that direct thing. So this is the question now asks, however, there's a lot of discussion and later. There's not instruction even parts that discuss how among the world is like the First new fruit program of the rambam, which he brings to appreciate the Godless of ocean. Surely that is that is Taylor. Why isn't learning about the greatness of the world Taylor because you want to understand the greatness of Hashem. So I'm let me bring the question into two parts. That's the question that not everything in Taylor is a Mitzvah braces bottle that comes from Amazon is not a mitzvah. It's about friends actually addresses that that it should have started with that. Kinda says I look huh, which is the first myth chapter after chapter The Narrative the story is invitations and in New York and a lock on the Arrow here and there you have a Mitt Romney. You have the midst of guitar nauseous one of the myths with the brought in be safe operations Bruce Miller, but most is that and even later Ash mice a lot of it is narrative. And then there's no locks. However, because the stator everything's my lotion Hydra not just like the Monsanto says everything we see in here is a lesson this table teaches us something Taylor every letter and Theta is Direction and therefore every letter and Taylor has lessons. Sometimes it's a Mitzvah sometimes in the form of a lesson, but everything has less that's number one. The other way around is the second half of the question. And what about in Taylor when you when you have things like talk about Draya Sherman? Have he brings to the first four chapters of the rambam? Or we talk about Godless, whatever you talk about mother Abu mosa, there are parts and tater that talk about that and you go further and commodity you find a lot of that. Why isn't that so the answer to that? Why is that? Why is that not it is tired if it's broadened Taylor directly and I but I cited the letter of the debe the different levels. There are things in Taylor that talk that I won't say called scientific, but they talk about a natural element. So then it is you make Burke et cetera, and that's a combination. You can say that's an interface and what's its Taylor and also talks about something of the world. But then there's things that Youmans discovered through their own efforts. And that's the difference between the two. So in the number I'm says that yes, Kate's the govt. How do you come to love and all of God by beam has been contemplating on the greatness of nature. Now if it says in a parsec like when they never spoke about not looking at animals or not having animals that were not pure he said, of course, it's an animal that's written about in the Tater then it stayed at your learning Tara. So when you go outside and you look at the Sun and the Moon and you look at The Meadows and you look at the field, you look at the awesomeness of nature. That's that is the world and use finding the godliness in it. If you're learning in an apostle or nachazel or Nama that is part of Ted. It's not a contradiction. That's the short answer of it. Okay? I see time is running the clock ticks. So let me do one more. You know what Wonder more follow-up we're going to do the see this question. As you see I'm trying to fit in as much as possible. So the cover as much as possible, but he can't always do it that way. So here's the see this question a very good because it is questions really a question in the past. But since it's says talks about it, I decided Well pulled part of the casinos question. So in this week's passions were now going into partial boy. And I didn't mention that the beginning but now I'll mention it because boy it's also the straightest route tonight sort of creative thought we covered because the beginning of the month of spot, especially huge shock for us City bishvat. So partial boy is of course a pastor that first half of it is the darkest darkest Exile in Egypt the last Marcus the last three markers and this and the second half is bad. So my aim as a the day the 15th of Nisan when the even marched out of mitzrayim and there a toward her CNA It's here hossam its limits. I'm toughness of the King as a leaky Maharaja. So it's um, it's interesting a partial that could have ended it at the end of Gaza start goal and not comes together as the lab explains because God is singular two sides of one coin. The goddess is purpose is Gula. That's why they ran Bain Ahmed is causes entire safer, even though the first two and a half chapters is about a deep Exile dark abyss. He calls the whole safe is safe our goal the English major panis rahl, these are the names which they entered into the Godless and these are the names of which they came out of God. Listen to grow older. Okay, that's a general. So in the in these episodes in this narrative, what do we find? We find of course the confrontation of moisture with pottery and Maka aftermarket 10 plagues were party refuses to let the Jews golf's a one plague and then a harsher plague and a harsher plague and it goes on and on we find an interesting expression and this is the question hardening of far part of his heart, but yet but Live party they've been able to see God hardened parties heart. We keep reading in the That party wanted to let the Jews go but God hardened his heart. And therefore he refused is that fair? Why would probably be punished if you really wanted to let go but God took away his free choice, excellent question. So the medalists actually asked the question medicine Davos miserable you give me give me a 13-3 ask the question. And as he says it gives food to those Skeptics who say what kind of judgment is I'm kind of free will is people have free will God is taking away free will. So there's no number of answers given to this rather armband and Zion chemo last week's chapter Zion gimel 7 3 says, this is a non question. That I'm band sizes midrashim and basically sites two different answers and overlap the two answers. He calls them both true answers sluggish. The first answer is given is that you don't take away free will but party had shown and demonstrated they refused. After one plague or another he refused five times to do a party but my sister said in the name of God, despite the plagues. That's why you don't find by the first five plays. You don't find any place that God hardened his heart. His own heart was hardened. He hardened his heart even though he was punished. So the measure says there comes a point where you know, you've already basically written your own script was very clear. So God hardening his heart was a punishment for what he had brought upon himself. So had he been conciliatory in the first five plagues. Okay, but II five things you start seeing God's expression. So the hardening of the heart is actually a punishment a punishment years that this point we're taking away your free. Will that's the punishment for what you refused refused time after with all the chances. You were given is still not a complete answer obviously because you say one second person is always hope but there is an expression of all the time at iron is a person who comes to be purified. He's pure if he's given the power to Pure five person who shows the opposite Defiance. He's also given food for his Defiance somewhere that A second mother says the rambam sights Sacramento says not without a punishment. It was an order to punish. Seeing how depraved and seeing how defiant party was God hardened his heart in order to punish them with more plagues. Actually. The verse says one of the verses it says God hardened his heart in order to show Miracles Miracles can be both the Miracles of the plagues other Miracles, but it came to show So one is that punishment itself? And other is that it came to pass as in order to punish them. But what do you learn from this? What do you learn from this not that there's no free. Will you learn from this that the psychologically speaking a person controls their Destiny and they have the right to be able to choose and even repent but there are times we so become so consumed with our own Egos and our own self-interest that we don't want to hear. As very possible. Yes a plague may have caused party to regret but then he would have regretted. Anyway, you see even after the markers behaviors what happened? With all any funny said chasing the Jews out of its I mean still pursued them God knew exactly what was in this heart. It's hard that not repented. Was God hardening his heart was revealing what he really is. He's a person who will not learn. Also when you go in to see this you see not so simple God hardening his heart. It's cause and effect. There's no punishment punishment is causing the effect when you become so corrupt and so evil. So Jenna Seidel and inhumane. Yes, you become contaminated. Can you do to everyone can do but there comes a point where you've contaminated so much you've killed enough people that yes, if Hitler was caught no one would say maybe still has regrets. He did too much damage. And that means hardening is like a cause and effect an effect of your own behavior. So whether it's the first interpretation that that itself that's a punt that that that's the punishment the hardening or it's the lead to punishment which have overlap. That's the deeper understanding of it and it fits perfectly that's what human beings can do. We could destroy our Spirits. This doesn't mean your soul always lives on but not in this form of shape. Now, there are other other explanations as well some discuss it as hardening is that is it come from the word heavy heart not necessarily hardening. Is the pradosham of the abuse of Albany claim is out of eh Karma and the Cadence it's called the other explanations as well some describe it more. The personality. God was revealing his personality, but regardless the answer is that it's not a contradiction to Free Will and so on as I just explained. It was a follow-up question to that as well. Why did God punish the Egyptians and also punish the Jews in the desert? Why did he have to punish the Egyptians to force them to release the Jews? Why couldn't the use of positive? I couldn't you use positive reinforcement. The same can be asked about many of the punishments of the Jews in the desert. Yes positive reinforcement is always the first way to go but there comes a point where you see clearly party was a not exactly going to respond to therapy or to positive reinforcement as powerful as it is some man that was out. He made a very big conspiracy and plot. Literally I use Hitler because it's a contemporary example and it wasn't about oh, that's that's appease him. Let's maybe discuss his mother his father. It was very clear what his intentions were and you have to know when positive enforcement Works reinforcement. When that and appeasing as Churchill said appeasing an enemy like that is feeding the crocodiles the hope that you'll be last as we've seen unfortunately. So again punishment is about cause and effect and every Case Case by case. With that let us go to the essays. So we have three essays. This is still from last year's contest. I've always find it intriguing and stimulating to read these essays the first one in Hebrew. Kaka the Lord Shiva that's how it is is not an answer when people say what does that that's all it is Mayor Hobart H20 clock about Israel student and she weekday let him hit me make a jacket. So the nature of a person who begins is that everything is asked her is requested to do he's always looking for an explanation or excuse. Why is not doing this see blames on this one blames on that one? And then the ends up being a life that is essentially filled with excuses. He goes on to say in this essay is going to address that tendency that yuman tendency based on synthesis based on our potential our capacity and how we Adorn ourselves that Injustice when we are constantly looking for excuses and talking about the gruel and believable balance of a human beings potential and fulfilling with God wants oven very very strong. Essay. I found that to be very powerful. And really inspiring and stimulating another side towards that doesn't succumb to excuses and procrastination and all that humans can unfortunately succumb to the second. Essay is teenage rebellion hyungs Worth age 16 Johannesburg South Africa student the tour Academy girls high school. Many young people struggle internally she writes they look at themselves and wonder who am I? I've changed over the years both in appearance and personality. But what stays the same what is my essence? By looking internally this can also enhance the question. Sometimes it can feel like one is two-faced and sometimes contradictory. Am I good or bad? Do I believe in God or not? These tug, these questions tug of human consciousness goes on to say especially by teenagers. This questioning has a very strong impact we will address this issue by looking to the spiritual makeup of a person according to Exodus through this will be able to understand why a person could have a hard time figuring out who they are. We will also discover. Able to understand why a person could have a hard time figuring. Yes, we'll also discover the source of teenage rebellion on how one can not only overcome it. But also use it for good it goes on to discuss this the animal Soul the Divine soul. How they battled with each other and how we can apply it to specially to teenage challenges. Well done, especially a topic which course addresses something. I spoke about earlier challenges teenagers today. And finally the next essay is perpetuating inspiration. Smoothie heft age 18, Sunnyville, Sunnyvale, California Student that you she was Lubavitch, Toronto. The previous Lubavitch rebbe a once shared with his decision one must serve god with his own efforts a person can reach Greater Heights in the service when he when he is led by a by the hand from above it is more Pro, but it is more precious though. When one puts in the labor to walk on his own goes on to discuss inspiration. Expiration motivation and how one has to find ways to initiate and Inspire themselves from the bottom up very very apropos to the theme of bustling ghani the debits team about self our effort self-initiative arousal From Below. And the scribes it didn't really beautiful terms of the good Parable another excellent essay. Always impressed very impressed and with that we conclude the essays and with that we conclude this episode 293 of my life because it has supplied as I said look forward as far as coming and we have to do whatever kind of 70 years doesn't happen every day. So we have to look for this type of special time specialist time as a springboard for great things. So we'll be announcing some programs to come and especially next week. So And have a very good hey - laughs traitors are haters of discussions of connection reconnecting to the Divine mission to the mission that the rebel charged us with the mission that the rebel was charged with and the Seventh Generation leading us to how to infuse existence with the Divine in every possible way and not in any type of abstract way but in Practical terms and bring the skin of the Earth to the Ghulam, it is vajrayana. We're here every Sunday 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. As I said, And have a blessed Traders and we'll see each other next week the week of yours fat be well. This program is brought to you by my life.
