Welcome to my life to the supplied episode 290. We are the beginning of the month of Tavis the week of parcels via he the last portion Torah portion this first book of Genesis of voracious this week. Tuesday will also be sort of at Avis. Which is one of the four fastest prescribed in the Tate internship excitement Tanakh? So let's begin with that but above all let's begin with what the dedication of this program dedicated in honor of the twin newborns. Leia tiferet, I'm sorry. The Moon is Sarah and the boy who has not yet been named children of later ferritin pace of Benjamin and great-grandchildren of proud grandparents Phillip and Nancy Namo worth the born on Shabbos six night of Hanukkah. Rosh chodesh Davis mesh and bless them to grow up healthy the Torah and mitzvot sank Miller's hasad. So being that sort of at Avis is this Tuesday? Let's begin with that and then we'll move over to you by he and I have a whole array of interesting and fascinating topics to discuss in this episode. So I sort of at Avis is as I mentioned the first of four task connected to the base. I'm English the home base Amigos and I sort of at Avis the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar said surrounded the bay spice addition surrounded the city that you shall I'm muttered which is a basically he surrounded the city. It was the beginning of unfortunately with become the end with the destruction months later. Ultimately breached the wall of Jerusalem. Then finally that's on the 17th of tammuz, which is again a fast day and then finally on Tisha b'av was the actual destruction of the base. I'm English. This happened the first temple. So all these three days are marked with fast days as the as halacha sites from the tsukemen the beam and the rambam, of course in Texas tiniest. And each of these fascists are all stages in this destruction. Now an interesting thing the rebel brings about celibate Tavis, which is different than the others. We know in Tisha b'av with the 17th of tammuz the 9th of all fall on Shabbos, which happens the Shabbos is dirty. Shop is open supersedes over the faster if I started but tables would fall on a Shabbos. It doesn't and that's one of the reasons that come when they created the calendar made sure that you shouldn't but if it would fall in the shop is says David Aram it would be day for Shabbos meaning it would we would fast on a shop? It's like we do on Yom Kippur. We derive that from the fact that it says bad sir my a mezuzah on the 10th of Tavis and as similar to what it says add some am Isaiah and Yom Kippur so obvious question. Is tissue Bob seems to be the most strictest faster actually the 24 or 25 hour fast that begins the night before I started but Davis is a fast that begins in them and Dawn or the morning and Tisha b'av seems to be the biggest issue which is the actual destruction of the temple. So, why would a celibate Avis had such power that it's more powerful than even sharpest to the extent like him keep even tissue of doesn't have that. And the ribbon a fascinating explanation and as an aside, I should mention when the rebbe after the heart attack that the river hadn't option Lama testimony at Sarah's so one of the things many things that have been added and increased in his own work and his own teaching of Toyota was one of the things was he renewed the custom of dividend Confucian. This means work saying words of inspiration and saying words that are relevant to a fast day. So the level began that I sort of the tape is that your tour summer class both at night. Night and the day he said to break physician with a minor. So one of the things that I've explained and also in subsequent years that the power of a sudden but Avis is because there's two ways to see a problem. You see the problem when you finally the full-blown symptoms of the issue begin to affect us or you wait, your you look at the root of where it begins whatever happened on the 9th of all of which was the destruction of the best musicians one of those Lon did not begin that day. When did it begin it began a sort of at Avis the surrounding and the and the content and the seat see The Siege of Jerusalem began months and months earlier some say it's even years earlier. And that was the beginning that would lead to what would happened that so whenever you have a problem you don't begin to solve the problem when the problems are ready or full-blown are about to be destroyed. You want to nip it in the bud. So I sort of at Avis had that not happened. The rest wouldn't have happened that's on a very physical. What's the spiritual significance it this Siege of Jerusalem represents the siege of the walls that protect the city. The reason we make different economies common make different the kree's different stringencies different things to be careful of is because it says, what's a bigger God do they get them when you see an open field you create a fence to make sure nobody trespasses. You don't wait. Will they till they come to your house will come to your direct property create a fence around that's the whole idea of homeless and different stringencies to protect. They shouldn't even come to a problem which psychologically and emotionally is a very simple thing. You don't have to wait to this a problem. For example, the physical body also has a wall around it and they'll say that's the skin and the outer layers the here that when any type of bacteria Full upon the body that here and the skin and the outer layers protect you from God forbid from infection. If the body is not protected infection can enter into the more sensitive and internal organs and creates Havoc. So everything needs I wall around it, whether it's a psychological or emotional or physical or spiritual wall that wall is meant to be like a barrier that protects from toxins and from all kinds of negative forces. So I start a bit too. His honors the protection of the outer wall or not. The way God forbid till infection enters, which really be 17th of tammuz, which is The breach of the wall and then and three weeks later Tisha b'av the destruction of the base. I'm English. So you as soon as it's besieged, you know, there's an issue and had the Jews done shuva at the time had they corrected their ways the seeds would have been over and they've never been breached and would never have been ultimately the destruction. So in the case of the second temple, we talk about Sin as hinnom spaceless hatred you don't wait till the consequences begin to manifest. You nip it in the butt and you nip it in the bud that way then rest of it will not be like exactly in health type of pre-emptive preventive action. That doesn't allow that right when you see a seed you see a little something is already weakened. You don't wait till it escalates until and then and grows into a monster but you dip it immediately. That's a sort of potatoes. and the Mozart which means that the per summer bother Miller bubble some of them are both in other words for besieging some has an interesting word also means to support some are combined to besiege to lean on but it can also mean to support and when you transform the summer of Siege to the summer of support that becomes the most powerful day in that sense and that's why it's more powerful than Shabbos because it's the beginning of all the challenges and when you fix it there you make sure that the other Choose only even arise in the first place which of course is the healthiest approach in life is not to wait till the city Falls and not to wait till the walls fall not to wait till it gets even worse. But as soon as you see some type of challenge something that questions or some way weakens, even on a small scale you immediately address it. It's one of the lessons of a sort of Actavis in our personal lives. One of the questions that came in which of course fits right here is how is one supposed to spend a fast day according to Exodus people get very hungry. So they often try to distract themselves by watching films or going to sleep that doesn't seem very spiritual and not what was intended. Yes. You can definitely say that and but even if it's not done something something but is not appropriate in general. How do you really supposed to do in a fast day? So let's go back for a moment. Why do we fasten the first place? I'm bummed right Sandhills tiniest the laws of fasting the reason we fast and the reason we honor these days is because when a catastrophe or any tragedy only negative thing happens to an individual or Community, it's insensitive and even cruel I was odious he calls the word to to be apathetic and say a just happened. Let's move on. So it's really a study and an exercise in introspection and soul-searching and one of the ways we Soul search in the Serious ways we fast we break our routine. Usually we have our routine. We eat are three meals or whatever amount of meals we eat here. It's meant to bring your attention to it. And one of the ways to bring attention is yes that you are looking hard inside yourself and when you're doing that you don't get distracted by meals or other type of activities like that. In addition fasting is also a form of self Affliction because it's painful and depriving but it's depriving in order to grow through it not deprive just a deprived so fast. Is one of the ways that same so then let's look at what's the purpose of this time is not just a fast in order to fast. It's an order to fast in order to make you aware which in other words is what these days are called as the rebel always emphasizes on these these in the toxic delivered on Fast days. It's a case of Datsun a slots on a sham. It is it's a desirable time is a desirable time. It's a fast day for negative things that happened. It's a desirable time. Yes, because it's a window of opportunity. A window opens up and one of the ways we recognize that is by paying attention taking it. Seriously including yes refraining from Material food that's on the server Tavis and Yom Kippur, of course, it has its own purpose, which we're not going to discuss here. So it's about introspection. And that's the way that they should be used a day of a little more seriousness. So they have looking at the causes and the roots of our problems as opposed to the problems themselves. How can we improve our ways? How can we mend? The word mending a breach Bridges and happy about amending a be sieging the besieging of your territory your intimate place your home your family. When it's under siege, it could be under siege by the internet. They could be under siege by psychological effects to be under siege by abuse could be under siege by a lack of proper behavior in the home. Just giving it as an example of how this would manifest. So this is a day to look into that. That's the way to look at it not to distract ourselves with doing other things to just get over the fast. There's a reason there's a fast the fastest meant to get your attention. And to get your attention right where it hurts and sense and I mean hurts in the sense to cause pain but right where it affects you we're really feel you feel it. And that's when you don't need you feel it. You sure we're so to stop right there just with the refraining from eating the goal. Is that that should wake you up to think about your life where you where are you now in context of the balsamic - we all are a silly myth has Richard Conte be safe from God said build for me a temple and I will rest among you which means beset called ethic has with Each and and man and woman saw each man woman and child Soul. They're supposed to be a Michigan and big - so we honor and the tenth of Tavis when that means us which was in the city and that city is deceived. We have to look at our own mikdash what's going on with your inner Temple what forces are so-called attacking and and laying Siege to your inner sanctum and what can you do about it? That's what we're supposed to be focusing on. On a sort of potatoes and that's why we actually extra prayers and the other things that we are involved in. Of course, the whole goal of it is as that album concludes. The laws of Tiny's you have courier-mail the sustenance in column to the made him Tavian. This is also from the verse in Scalia in the profits that talk about the fast that these days will ultimately be transformed. To the holiday yum yum table made them the same which means the holidays and to joyous occasions. Why because the purpose of all these concealments all these challenges is not to be an end in itself. Even if we overcome all the challenges Monsieur Angela come that doesn't mean this all goes away because everything has to be transformed. So even the negative the some of my little bubble and the negative becomes some Camilla bubble in the positive. So everything is not just not just me. Go back to square one. We use the negative energy. We use the challenges to be a catalyst for growth. That's the lessons of a sort of potatoes and how we use a fast day. It's also a passerby your key and very interestingly begins with a real Paradox. We know that Yakov is life was not easy life from pregnancy, even he was already struggling with his twin brother asaph then of course as they got older to the point he had to escape and he ran off to went off to Harem as parents instructions built this family and very just went from there where they say from the friar from Frying pan to the fire and he and he dealt with love and the devious Uncle of his Lovin. Then after that he thinks he can really live in peace another 20 years past he comes back and wants to live in peace and no cops are love roses Shield yousuf yousuf is disappears in thinking that asaph already had was killed. And that's another 22 years and then finally reconciled the Ace of the final years of his life the last 17 years of the life begin in this week's chapter by he yaakov. That's where he lives far as the son is 17 years. Weekly. Yahushua the sun emits rhyme. These are the best years of his life. Shiva is Shawna is a commodious as The Ballot or him of the word Tafe tave good is the Gematria the same numerical equivalent of the world of of 17? So that's why because these were this best years as that summer said it to the alter rebbe the best years and it's I'm he has because that's where he transformed Darkness into light. Now, of course, we'd all of the living light and we'd all love to live in bless and Bliss and with happy moments. But as long as there's a goalless as long as they're suffering as long as there's a symptom Irish are concealment of the Divine side became sensitive and they know there are very the continues in this world to Natchez battle but to transform the darkness into the light and there was a taste of those 17 years afterwards, it would get a lot worse after the active and all the shrubs in passed away of course by Akamai. Others next week's chapter a new king either a physically new king or it like this or conveniently new king forgot Community what happened all the good that was done to him, but those 17 years and you can say it's part of the preparation Was preparing even a nervous audits in a decadent land and a debased culture that they're there was Taylor remember you who that stablished a Yeshiva mitzrayim and gatien and Jakob. Is there together with his entire family? So relatively speaking in those 17 years were the best of his years which emphasized the same point. I was talking about with the fast days and perhaps as the connection between our sort of potatoes and vehicie that sometimes the darkest things when you transformed you have the greatest light greatest power and that's indeed the whole purpose of Creation in the elements of the antioxidants explains as Delta B says and Tanya, it's all Gilliam in chapter 36 and therefore it's all revelation. It's only in this world in this lowliest of world a world that where the Divine is completely concealed to the point that it's morally Clippers who said that are not just its concealed and it's natural and it's neutral. But there's actually a world filled with negative forces. After their successfully there, we have the power to transform it. And when we do you sooner - hey, shh the light then it either comes out of the darkness is infinitely greater than light that is just initially light and that theme of one of the themes of I-80 and I read after I he he active lives and we know that this chapter talks also about his passing but the word mess death is not mentioned the a Covino lime Sy because Mars is a terrible crime. Will become his children alive so too. Is he alive even in its, right? And that of course there's a lesson for all generations that when you connect to what really matters to the Divine and of The siddiqa Mobile Generation to the level of a generation, even we go through darkest moments. There's something that lives on and that living on is in our hands to continue to perpetuate the teachings and the and the directives and live by them in our personal lives, which of course continues the theme I discussed last weekend about the habeas it Tavis, but let us not stop all stop with that. On this topic and we'll move on to the next topic but as cross-references go obviously I've spoken about this topic more than once. So I'll refer you to episodes 95 145 194 240. These all can be found at siddha supply.com and website filled with an array of resources of planks. It has to life many types including of course all the previous episodes. You have a form there to submit an anonymous question totally anonymous. As well as all the essays thousands of s is that have been written in the last five years by people from all walks of life from all backgrounds. Essays applying Exodus to life. Next question which actually came in today, but since it's timely I chose to read it March against anti-semitism. What should our attitude be to the March taking place today against anti-Semitism. What would the rebels opinion be and what should our attitude to be this March? When it's a March against anti-Semitism, but it's organized by UJ a and the reform movement to invite Al Sharpton to give the keynote speech at their annual dinner. Okay. So this question can be split into several parts. First of all, what about a March in general? Let's say there was no Al Sharpton involved. So the rib is attitude these type of matters generally speaking when it came to for example Soviet Union demonstration, there was adamantly against it because you knew the Russia and you know how they behaved and how they would react to these demonstrations. However, this of course does not go into that category. We're talking about a demonstration. So my understanding is obviously the rebel always look for Plymouth Deacon more internal and more more of the deepest way. You can have impact which means of course talking to officials political connections Now demonstration if it helps because it brings awareness and puts pressure most likely and I can't speak for the web. But if it has that benefit great, but unfortunately many of these demonstrations and events become. Case for people just to just to celebrate themselves and honor themselves as more of a PR opportunity a photo-op. However, again, even if it may be that but it does help create attention and awareness. So I can't again I'm not going to say that every will endorse every March but in some instances, you can see a benefit to that because it's part of a whole plan which means there's follow-up meeting the politicians meeting the police meeting the law enforcers meeting all the powers that be Do something to protect the Jewish people especially doing to the dealing with the recent attacks. That unfortunately, so in that sense, we're not going to go over the full endorsement that yes, you must go to Every March and so on but if a March especially if there's a respectable presence of people who are attending and can help. How could we negate that? Regardless of a said the intentions and just mentioning it not because I'm throwing any aspirations on the intentions of those organizing it but let's be realistic. We just want to keep everything in context and make sure that the focus is above all on the goals and that there's a follow-up and it's part of a larger strategy as far as Al Sharpton or other such people. Obviously the hypocrisy is quite obvious and that just under underscores and undermines actually The credibility of such a March but Don't want to come out and say that a March not being supported because they are honoring sharp and other places because so no one no one's perfect. And therefore if the March has an impact, yes, but if the March again is advancing a liberal cause or a cause that does not really benefit. It's just again just to be a stage to have people just Express themselves in order for them to be more prominent in the news that throws a lot of cold water on the whole idea and you see I'm being not black and white on this for intentionally reasons because again, I don't want to be the one that says no absolutely not if it could be a benefit some things you can Overlook now if they really wanted the credibility remember this definitely different opinions on who should be leading such marches and whose political opinions we can respect the best is obviously to create a consensus that it shouldn't be seen as political shouldn't be seen as one group or another group, but I don't know how realistic that is. I repeat and some up again. If it's one piece of a whole puzzle that's helping get attention and helping actually change policies and increase security and increase pre-emptive measures including education, which of course is the long-term measure and other measures that will help then we have to look at it as a bigger picture instead of it just one specific thing. If this is the only thing that's done and it's only a photo op and nothing else is done then obviously the whole thing is really actually undermines. Because it's like just seen as okay. Let's all get together. Make sure that we are seen on television. We're seeing that we're saying something and we're not just being quiet but then obviously the foods that help if nothing follows up. That's why the pressure has to be put on both elements. I'm not going to come to a conclusion whether this March is actually part of that type of strategy. I hope it is we're scenario. It's not so then you know, it's another sad chapter that is just about people exploiting tragedy for their own gain instead of it becoming really are true Catalyst for Solutions and answers to our issues I will be following up with more little later about what we discussed last week about attacks on the Jewish people. But one question I do want to address right here is about why doesn't Judaism focus on self defense bearing weapons and other methods of protecting ourselves. The down the way someone wrote it was this why didn't you deism ever focus on something from the second Corbin until the modern state of Israel and even then it wasn't really a religious thing in other words during modern-day state of Israel. Of course, there's the IDF. There's that's how this Israeli Defense Forces Army. So clearly there's an entire Army which is an Exon Army and protecting. But even that this question is asked we don't see it as a religious thing. So with that said let me first of all in this disagree who says we don't focus when neck of a venal prepared to meet Ace of his archenemy. He prepared three ways. He prayed he prepared for war and he prepared a bribe to appease him. Thank God the bribe and the appeasement and the prayer worked. He didn't need to go to war. Jews have always been prudent. We don't look at it from one perspective. We never saw War alone being we're not worries were alone was not the solution. We always knew that the main battle is a spiritual one. Meaning that we have the fortitude. We stand up for our values. We don't back down but obviously you use all measures and the third talks about what kinds of hello Chris went to go toward defensive War Thomas Mitzvah more. Come on soos. And obviously in a smaller scale to have protection whether it's in the community. So the idea the concept and stand it comes from a certain stereotype that includes the Jews going to the Sheep like sheep to the slaughter by the Holocaust but the fact is Jews are docile people. Yes. We are a peaceful people with war is for us abhorrent, but does not mean that we don't use it when necessary as last resort when it comes to situations like now with Jews are under attack communities absolutely specials schools and other should have security doesn't have to be in a panicky way. Could be done in a more discreet way, but they should have security. There should have arms whatever is necessary to protect innocent people. It's not just we just say till so that's the most important thing to keep in mind. But to focus on the fact is that it's not just War often you here that's only about arms or and just be that's all you have and everything will be fine. Not correct. We look at it in a balanced way. You need to have all aspects just like you need to lock the door. You also put up a mezuzah. You don't do one or the other. We need to have a good strong police presence cameras today and do everything possible. Like I said before to get the officials and the people in power to do something about it. Now is this the thing we prominently display? We tell our children were all going to Bear guns and rifles and weapons. Oh because firstly we don't panic we don't pay take type of that behavior. That was something going to war create a world like attitude, even though there are those attacking us. That's not our approach and secondly, as I said, some things have to be done more discreet doesn't have to always be announced in that type of fashion. Yes, we'd love the enemies to know that you come to our place you are going to be in danger not just because of spiritual reasons. So the right balance has to be met unfortunately people get extreme in the saying this is the only way to do this is the way to do it and when you say when we maybe we have to educate those children before they become haters. And supremacists and whatever else in anti-semites, obviously that's long term that's not replacing that's not instead of it together with so you need short-term solution long-term solution deterrence and preventive approaches what the deal wants a situation happens wise people look at the whole strategy from beginning to end and don't just focus on one thing whenever you see focus on one thing. It usually has an agenda someone's trying to sell something strong some promote something something about themselves. That's why we have to have Is balanced people that are not driven by a particular Blobby or particular financial gain or particular political gain and so on? Since we're on the topic, I might as well do the follow ups because there's on the topic people. Unfortunately, this is issue that's on the table. So let's talk a little more about it. Is feeling vulnerable a lack of emunah Rabbi. Thank you for all you do to spread it to share turning you described. We are inspired and uplifted with every breath broadcast. My question is in regards to the recent increase in brutal crimes and anti-semitic attacks. My husband and I along with our Chabad Rabbi and rebbetzin are the only Torah appreciative and observant and shomer Shabbos hidden in our community. We know that the only response to this darkness is to increase light we on a daily basis increase our Torah study Arts. Dr. A charity. I recitation of the hilum Psalms and try to share with non-jews the noahide laws, which are the moral ethical universal laws for all people on Earth it is there it is. Is it therefore a lack of emunah my part a lack of faith and my Heart if I feel overly vulnerable when walking alone with my husband to show over a mile and a half and back home. Thank you. Absolutely, not the Munna includes. Wounded means faith in God. It includes the god-given tools that were he gave us which means are using your head your mind using your heart using your intuition using every tool at your disposal to make sure you're safe. Mistake is people think of Munna means not using anything. I have faith in God have to do anything. Unlock. My door. God will protect me. That's part of how God protect you by making you an intelligent human being and being wise and need be constant good consult with others and get advice and to do protect yourself in the best possible way. The key thing is and I mentioned before but I want to elaborate a bit more is not to panic. We've not hysterical people and that not the Panic meaning everything is Is it normal not to panic means because when you panic first of all, you become weaker and you don't think straight and you can make mistakes, you don't want to panic meaning, you know, there's a God that's protecting us. You want to think soberly and with have composer and presence of mind and heart and plan accordingly, especially if we have families and children. We cannot Panic that's not an approach that healthy for us is not healthy for our children. That does not mean that we don't be or not prudent and We're not Vigilant. There's so there's a there's an in between Pat between panic and being completely complacent. There's a big wide spectrum. So we have to use everything at our disposal and it's not a lack of immunity to do whatever it takes. Now the fact that we feel vulnerable yes, there is we live in a world where vulnerabilities are reality but we have to always remember that there's a sham with us. We have trust and faith in God and as I said also trust and faith in the tools that God has given us and God is his family's role in Ileana Malaysia me Israel. God is does not rest in does not Slumber. He's our protector and we make every possible Kaylee container for this protection to manifest in our lives. And with that. I want to say some shiitake held that we shouldn't have any more such incidents. Events and we should do whatever it takes to prevent and of course prosecute to the fullest extent of the law and even further if possible by extending the laws by expanding the laws only one that God forbid infringes on any persons rights in general especially Jews and especially religious Jews for their just of mere fact that they're from right? Okay, another person writes the stabbing and Muncie the guy who threatened attack and 770 some extremists who regularly attend. Different synagogues or have recently been expelled from a synagogue have a Common Thread mental illness at the same time. There's an effort amongst local to break the stigma with Shabbat together. Not sure what that means big to break the stigma and in general the conversation about mental illness among the three. I'm wondering why this isn't being spoken about On the one hand Saudi anti-Semitism and Evan evil with all about all these attacks can further increase stigma with regards to mental illness at the same time. The public must be protected physically may be psychologically to is there a line between illness and evil one who has Mercy on the evil ones will eventually be evil to the ones deserving Mercy yet. If it's an illness is it not deserving of Mercy? What is this approach to mental illness specifically when it's expressed in evil actions such as the ones depicted in the news recently. Can kind of change the expression of illness so that if a person is diagnosed with schizophrenia for example was raised in a home that was imbued with the shovel. Mrs. Blaine are seven noahide laws with goodness and kindness. Will it be less likely that his or her mental illness will his or her mental illness will Express itself in evil ways? Okay, interesting question and it does cross over to a lot more tap a larger topic. So let me just make it very clear here just because some people are mental illness does not mean that we just forgive them for shooting or killing innocent Jews or innocent people for that matter. Yes mental illness has to be addressed both on the preventive and the pre-emptive level as well as dealing with it. Once it's a case, but the fact that some of these people did attack and they have part of mental illness why they choosing Jews for example So there's more than just the mental illness now in a court of law of they find that that is the situation they want to lock that person up into a mental Patrick Ward. That's that's if that's proven that way so be it but they still has to be locked up whether it's in a prison or in a psychiatric prison, that's up to the loss of the system of law. So I just want to not confuse the two matters and conflate them. We're not going to forgive all these anti-semitic attacks and claim that everybody is mentally ill number one. It's not true. Many many are not men. Lille and just because they hate doesn't make them mentally ill they may have other illnesses psychological or emotional but it's not necessary cry clinical ones its hatred that needs to be addressed that can be tolerated in our society. Even those that have mental illness. Yes, of course, we have to understand that and when you look at the situation you diagnose it and then a dress it dress it appropriately. So I don't want to mix the two because right now we're dealing with the issue of these attacks and many of them have nothing to do with mental illness. But yes, you're correct mental illness is one of the issues that needs to be addressed in general not just wait for a tax because unfortunately it can make a can add to the equation when a person has some mental illness and has prejudices and read something about some hate mail or some hate to social media. Obviously that can push that person over and go on attack. So I think we have to look at everything and I have spoken in the past about mental illness is not really the scope of this conversation. So I'll suffice with that. Let's go back to some new interesting topics and it's completely moving over to very different topic. What is kibbutz position and Daffy Amy and the CM hashes? So Daffy Amy was instituted in the 20s Rubbermaid Shapiro had a tremendous idea idea was that Jews everywhere begin studying one Daffy a day. And that way you have like a collective study and then every seven and a half years did a see my shots this just this past week was a see my shot. Of over 90 hundred thousand people and MetLife Stadium and Berkeley Stadium. And so was a Kiddush Hashem Jews coming together to to learning Torah making assume a CMOS is a simcha so number one without even going into any details. That alone is a Simcoe for all Jews. And yes, if you're by Seema shots, whether it's a kabocha will not talk about soon. It's a simple answer to this Mitzvah and therefore we all celebrate together that Said there is the issue with a flame itself. Is this a Chabad customers and that Ichabod costume so we have from the rabbihim. We have the following. When it was first instituted, there were those that were formed there were those that were not for it some said not for it was not because they were against learning God forbid. But because they thought it would be more superficial type of learning. Some said Pro can proc him. Meaning you just learn one page. You could be rustic right Miller at the end of the day you just middle of a topic But as time passed more and more people embraced it the 3D Kadabra that ever speaks in a secret. / mom has calcium has did not encourage the students to do it, which does not mean he night in the gate of the leader. Just do not encourage it in other words. It's not a taco Nevada be like for example heat has or rambha then the rebel spoke about lamb being something that unites all the people because the entire Toyota and other reasons as we come closer to the goal in that slack see in different various places you have from the lever that even though it may not have been at that corner of Chabad, but the rebbe actually encourages different groups of learning to learn it and there's even a cm of a shots based on Daffy Amy And overall let's just make it clear. How bad is one thing with Theta and Theta is one thing with habad when you see someone learn it's a simcha whether it's that many different people have different monogamous some people for example, learn that Daffy. I mean they have other shooting not another Pastor meaning each one has their path and they're all positive things because they're learning Taylor. So I spoke about this in episode 238 because the question there was what about Chabad? What about someone's learning to nephew? Amy should have been negated. People criticized so if someone's learning today that General how can you criticize learning Tate you suggesting they should learn that a time bomb or something else instead. They may be concerned both of they want to so the gating the idea of negating something and learning is completely unacceptable and I thought about never negated and the contrary as I said different sure that I was told about that he instituted. Is this something this is an instant is a taco Nevada, but as I said, no, but that doesn't take away from the fact that even if if a hundred people did that for me, especially when you have a car heilig teyla so many thoughts thousands tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of people learning on a daily basis in offices in Shoals on planes in and trains and so on that's obviously a great tremendous Kiddush Hashem and we celebrate and honor it. So go to the gallery now to another posture different custom. Some of them are spread more some of the spread less and each has their legitimacy in their way when that ever makes it that corn. Obviously, it has a whole different type of important impact and the purpose different story, but it's not you don't compare the two one does not negate other. So honest and answering the specific questions now with that being said and again, I refer you to episode 2 38. They're actually quoted all the secrets. I believe rate of Shame and base deliver spoke about it / member Hess and some of the letters that ever wrote two different people who have a groups who are studying or teaching and making assume so go there for actual sources don't need to go over those sources. So here the specific question is what was the deposition on that for you Amy. I already answered that and is it okay for the bother to go to the see him toss? Next Market. This was a question written last month next month, or is it better to stay home and learn the Devastator? If I bring son Ed of hate Avis, my answer to that is person has to make that decision on their own to going to the shots is nothing wrong with the going to it and its celebrating with Eden a learning a tailor. If you feel that better for you to stay home and learn the Devastator whatever Tater that's a personal decision if you're doing nothing, but definitely better than nothing is to go but if you have something you have acquiesced, let's say you're learning. Oh, so that's it's because leverage obviously these are priorities that person has to make Case by case. And I don't think there's a black and white answer to that the see my sauce is coming up in a few weeks and hundreds of thousands of Jews will be celebrating this event. But combat doesn't seem to participate officially participation that the rebels make that policy but there many habad people that did participate and there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that. So official Habana only that have been would with the river participated didn't participate in previous human shots, but he didn't participate in many. Beautiful great events. So that doesn't indicate anything. Why is that and what was the rebels position about the same as us? So, I believe I explained that already isn't it a beautiful thing that caused sawdust together? Yes, the rubber encourage learning tight at every opportunity. However, the rubber really encourages learning that for ya me. Why is that the rebel follow the free the crevices the physical levels of the opinion that there were questions whether this is the way it should be done never come out against it. And as I said, he did encourage groups, but it's not called the number that many things that ever did not necessarily that Advocate didn't mean he was against it. It was simply a question of what the priorities were. Okay, and again episode 238 for more information. But above all I want to say this will never hear anyone becoming too radical and too extreme in something for something or against something you have to always go back to the sources. If a Deb if our Deb would say something that absolutely not to do something. Obviously. There's no question if he says absolutely do something then again, there's no question though. The gray areas of things that are not stated. Absolutely. Yes, and not not not called reduce their consultant. Pia consult several must be M2. See if it's a double Sawbuck do she liked learning? And I mean this across the board in any scenario not just a few Amy, then you can imagine it's a positive thing questions whether you should be doing it whether how should you prioritize your time if you have different shooting different options that needs to be discussed Case by case if it's something that seems to be negative thing, even if you didn't hear and not supposed to do it, especially with consultation with an objective party, it could be something you should stay away from but I if you have a balanced approach that is a tailor and that resort to car noise, which is zealotry the type of extreme radicalism unless again something that absolutely even then even the things that ever said you must do. He also said But Derek a name without your solemn in a calm way in a peaceful way in a respectful way in a condescending way non-judgmental way that goes without saying but the truth is I should say that doesn't go without saying sometimes it has to be said and that's even when it's Mom is this Is a directive has to be done always in a beautiful and pleasant manner. Especially something that is not so a directive but it's not anti directive either meaning it's not nothing against it. That's a general attitude in general my brings to mind when they're afraid the rebel has it over me repeated a number of times. He wants told the free the collab that he was in the shul in Paris. I believe in France and he gave somebody charity we gave charity At Night song came over and reprimanded the debit because lucky don't give at night. Then that is all talks about it. She told the free to grab the free decrepit said Mr. McGee today but against that No criticize you probably doesn't give charity by day either because the fact is he's focusing on the negative. So maybe it doesn't get by day. It's not like he's really so he's so adamant about Zucker and not giving a night is all are the areas as well. But the physical web is sense that you have to be careful when you tell somebody even if they're doing something maybe whatever reasons should be done at a different time, but they're giving their helping somebody you have to be careful how to criticize something like that and critique often of such things. Even if it has some basis always an asset. Can be an indicator of other issues going on as well. Okay, next question. Should a parent let her child eat oud. OU D and kosher standards for children What? Oh, what's all U dou? Of course is our has got there from the Orthodox Union. There are other artists and sometimes it says daddy right near it which means it's Dairy and dairy. Most often is Hall of Arkham will most often not only always unless it says how is slow so the question is its kosher, but it's color vehicle. How about if it really matters to the Sun to be able to eat or you D that means the son really wants to eat it how about of the father's okay with the child eating things that aren't called Israel but the mother isn't should parents interfere with what the child eats of the food is kosher but not up to their cultural standards so very good question firstly I've addressed this issue in the past and I want to just give you the other episodes 108 110 112 271 and 272, so this is a broader question this isn't just about oh you are God Obviously this is about education of your children. Now generally speaking parents would love their children to live up to the high standards even higher than their own stent. But again, as I said before the way you teach it as to his being with love and pleasantness because if you don't do it with that way you give leave a bad taste in your children's mouths no pun intended and they will not help them maintain their standard. They'll just see it as something that was just an imposition and uncomfortable. And as soon as they can Rebel they will Rebel but talk let's talk about the general. Picture parents like in all areas should be teaching their children all the highest standards in a beautiful loving kind nurturing. Personal way so the children should embrace it like something I really want to do and this is whether it's eating kosher and eating Harvest all or other standards and other matters, but it's A- acid the bed or its citizens at night or the yarmulke and all kinds of things that become relevant. It's not just this matter. I want means the highest standards. Listen. This is something based on parents education. They could have a must be an Ask enough to go crazy about it. But we want to live up to the standards. Now if a child is already an hour of age where they are challenging or they say no I want to eat something that you that you may not have that standard so here to you have to change shoes by case-by-case pesach is a big issue like this. Some parents have strict standards and their children are not so strict. You have to be careful not to burn Bridges and not to create just irritation and tension for Unnecessary reasons. This doesn't mean you have to compromise you have to take a case-by-case try to see what can be done through make things a little more peaceful and the same is true with the obvious Rollin other matters like that. For for Chabad, Nick and Century people who are familiar with the sources call yourselves. Not just a matter of who's watching it. Today is become also matter it's written clearly that's connected to you to shamim and other factors. So is it equivalent to eating treif? No, it's not but it still is my tumtum. It does have an effect on a person's spirit and soul. So you want of course avoid that as much as possible now if a child and sister they're hiding or they're lying about it that that's it. An issue of how to deal with children who are not living up to your expectations. And this is the same thing with smartphones or other issues. It's not just a matter of kosher and that's something as I said requires more looking into its heart to give directives here. They should all however be with love even when you have standards and when it comes with love in a kind way, it's much easier to get what you want then if it goes into a battle. Call your throat is definitely a standard. It's not just a small matter. But you have to make those choices now parents disagree. That's another issue that needs to be addressed between the parents. What do we present to the children? You don't want to have mixed messages with the children are confused. So that's something loving parents. If you have a good relationship with your spouse, you should be able to discuss that before presenting to the children. So they see a United stand. Should parents interfere this goes back sometimes yes, sometimes no depends on the age of the child the temperament of the child how they'll react if the reaction will be one that will make things worse or not. And and that's the end of the day that needs to all be taken to account. Okay. And I've given the episodes were some of this was discussed many other episodes where I talked about how parents should deal with children and how far to push and how do you discipline? So please you have to see sir. That's not the topic right here, even though it's directly related, please search on consider supply.com parents children attitude education and you'll have plenty of material of addressing that as well. But we have to try to keep things rolling here because they can cover everything in the full extensive way. That's why I'm doing the cross-referencing dress next question dress. What is the two questions in two parts to this question about what is this? What is this? What is the significance of wearing a black hat and second is it okay for a considerate person to wear jeans? So an episode 90 I spoke about dress the significance of dress because I want to and you can say dress and some external thing who really cares. One is a person's heart and soul and mind is in the right place and their Max covid epitomizes thought speech and action. So dress is somewhat superficial and yet we see in the even in the physical secular world the hovel you see baseball uniforms. You see army uniforms. You see people identify when they dress a certain way with certain groups. Is it external to an external but it's still a symbolic element when it comes to the discrete. We also there's a uniform this job is clothing is weak. They call the ink this is an easy kill clothing. So there are Customs now present only the focus on dress and nothing else. That's a continuous. Some people focus only on the inside and no dress at all. That's also you want to have a balance between the two that the inner should be reflected in the outer and the outer surface like the inner. So it's not about worshiping the called themselves that ever once told somebody they saw the debit before the sea is studying learning something on Shabbos. I'm sorry Friday and they would have was not wearing a jacket. So you like games are very courageous boy. I told the devil we're good jackets to learning and the Never Said Some important things to know what's under the jacket and this person later told the years later that he had many problems under his jacket style getting into details. This does not mean but you see that ever dressed I could ever so everything in its time and its place. We're not talking about anything Hydro solemn that is not appropriate. So yes, John garments including a thing like a black hat. Is there something about a black guy that makes it holy no became a mini Gasol to where the Chabad that's where the rebel war. And therefore others were if you look in the earlier. Here's the Devil Himself wore color hats gray or other calls and send them did but as the standard change standards make a difference not because we worship the standard because as of course many people say all you care about is how you look at your dress. And what about everything else you're behaving like an obnoxious person and what you're wearing a black hat. That's a very legitimate time. But that doesn't mean that black cat has no value. It's just a matter of balance. If it's only a black cat and everything else about the person is is antithetical to that. It's a serious problem. So many people are contain him are externals and everything is about externals, but we're not talking about that. We're not making externals and end as an end in itself. It's part of a whole picture. You stand respectively before Hudson, Alaska see Michelle Malacca before God before I lived in a shoe. There's a respectability and clothing is part of it dressing appropriately dressed in cleanly and yes addressing fittingly to the community standards. However, I'm not going to go say that a person wears a little different. We have to go now an attack that's not appropriate either because as I said earlier it all depends what kind of impact you're going to have and I've seen that unfortunately in my own is Shiri years and I've seen that later people attacking people just for their dress and they don't get through because they're not really coming from a pretty music a place or a loving place and they themselves may be just obnoxious people know that talking about his dress. That's why it has to be in this balanced way. The black cat does not have an end in itself if that ever had chosen the That would have been the standard that would have been yes black has a certain condition to a black-and-white related to Shabbos some people wear because they shocked us some people big deal of and some people wear white all white on Shabbos somewhere back black and white. So this is the more kabbalistic meanings behind it and that there's the document there's a shocker but that's not for right here this discussion as far as genes go generally speaking genes is considered to be not a Hasidic or religious Garb now many people wear jeans, and I'm not here to criticize Them but as the standard that is the standard it's more of a casual and more of a reverse a secular dress. Is it officer? Is it forbidden on called prohibited? But again, everybody has to make their choices. I'm not here to criticize. I'm not here to judge. So you have to look at it. If you want to know the facts look at what citizen standards are and that's not just apply to this type of pet stylists other types of clothing as well. Okay next question. birth and death Is on someone's birthday. It said that they were born because the world cannot exist without them there when someone dies is that God's way of saying it cat meaning the world can exist without them. What does the statement really mean now not to toot my horn here. But these this quote is attributed to myself the Yours Truly in 20 minutes for life and the chapter on birth. I translated into English and expression that the devil would use very often ate somebody might see us Aspire that every Jew is every person every Jew every is a special person and God is proud of him and the expression is birth is God saying you matter that has evolved into a statement that when birth is God saying the world cannot exist without you now, it's all true because of God sent you here you have an indispensable Mission and calling to fulfill the no one but you can fulfill So regardless of where the expression comes from, so there are discussion and is based of course on the river Seekers that I mentioned very often, but I'm a cool Aunt Sandy came Nate's amatory my co despoiled you are my handiwork. You're my product and I am proud of that. And of course the Deb is words that each person sent to this world is sent for a unique purpose what you can accomplish you and only you can accomplish because God does not send two of the same. Sometimes that have expressed himself and said what you can accomplish even why should I? Even all those of the beginning of time and to the End of Time cannot do but you that's your job. So that definitely describes a type of inherent and indispensable value. So the question now is asking so does that mean when a person dies that value comes to an end? Obviously not. Birth being the sole was sent to this earth. The soul existed long before came to this earth the mission begins. Now that your time has come now to your stage in life. You're carrying out the Baton during your lifetime now every good deed you do lives on forever. So you've fulfilled your mission if you fulfilled the mission in your lifetime so sad, like now the world doesn't need you anymore. You've done what you had to do and it changed the world forever. So in a sense you're now a permanent component a permanent part of existence. Ever because you've done your part the fact that you physically die. God forbid. Someone dies doesn't mean the mission is no longer that the world does not need you because you finished your job. Now. If someone did not finish the job. We know they come back to finish it or I'll be finished some other way. So once we are the soul is always here always has a purpose when it comes to this world that purpose is now activated. And now it's activated and whatever happens and we hope that you do part of your mission or all of it. And then yes that lives on death is not at the vote of the you had your vote of confidence when you're born and death is like a vote of no confidence or say. No you're not worth anything anymore. God forbid It's Your Role has finished and now someone else continues and remember we all supplement and complement each other. Okay next question. Isn't it about time that we create a powerful program powerful programs rather to teach people about mushiya without even reading further. I can tell you absolutely yes, but let's read the question as we all know the Rebus said that the direct path quote unquote Aguila is through learning about maschiach Angola for whatever reason the talk of 1991 1992. The talks of have been put to the side for many years by some I feel it is about time that we begin to learn and teach these talks in depth. Would you be willing to give classes on these talks and give practical applications from those talks? I'm not going to be the next line. It's a compliment to me. But as a scholar of our times, I feel it would be best told by you. And this would teach the most most people the goal is to just too long. We need to bring mushiya. Second question racks asks, why is their Silence about mushiya? I don't get it. If the rebel clean scent of guys started touching on base five seven five two now the Slocum need to take her closest resolutions and student make a fuss about mushiya. How come there's such a striking Silence about mushiya. This pass job is Ashley I said over some points on the of the above-mentioned talk but failed to even mention once about maschiach in a way. I can relate to the frustration of those little him that make a breakaway. kinis Okay now so firstly see episode 722 and 238 where talked about this Summit and something one of my pet peeves and know if that's the right word but definitely an important part in topic is this is unfinished business that deliver gave us that he announced 70 years ago. Let's say 69 years ago a tough senior doll from the lab assume leadership that this is the data speed the Seventh Generation that will bring the screen or down below and said, this is our job whether we chose it were even if with it's not what's not up to our choice. Not up to our Veda even many may not even want in some ways. That's our mission and then later Interruption and I love 40 years later that I ever said the words. I did everything I can now you do what you can put him tough. She remembered Zion a few years earlier. Rubber spoke about that at length as well. So this clearly this is our final mission. Now. This is this is of course the culmination of everything in history all the Tater mistress, although Aveda all the service combinations to bring the goal. As the Rubbermaid so aptly clear time. And again, he said now you have to do what you can so yes, this thing is about time that we do major revolution in the teaching and learning of Google and Michelle has the level set at the rebels directive. What does that mean? Because you can't appreciate something. You definitely can't yearn for it. You can't live it. If you don't know what it is. So the first thing you need to study the product so to speak if they understand what it is that way you can become passionate about it. That way you can share so the first step. Learning about it and learning as that. I've explains it's not just learning about it learning itself is the process of bringing this year who's the machine has Consciousness maschiach awareness and ultimately actions that live up to that awareness and Consciousness. So hundred percent agreement and Beyond an agreement. Yes. I am really ready to do. What am I part? But I think we need to have also a team effort and create a Groundswell that touches the entire world to critical mass. There is absolutely no limits. It's just a matter how to teach it and what language to be used. I'm not going to not going to explain why their silence why some people don't there's many reasons some are not necessarily healthy reasons some are not sorry Tara reasons, it could be political and so on but I will give everybody the benefit of the doubt. The biggest reason is because people are not aware what it is, which means we're not learning it properly. It's an abstract idea. Just leave you with this question. What would Golem is she? Okay, what will the world look like tomorrow morning? Michelle comes tonight or tomorrow morning? What will your city your town your house your streets? your workplace look like What will happen? That question can be answered by learning about and when you learn about it, then you can learn how to make your home your street your community your city your state or ever you may be a Michelle dick environment that becomes a ceilidh a channel to actually bring the Gula and each of us has a role to play in this part. So you of course the next question. So what do you do? How do we begin? Well, we begin by talking about it and making a big tumor and hopefully in the next weeks as we prepare for the 70th anniversary. Huge fat adoption Route 73 adoption pay we really turn over ourselves and the world into pioneering exciting passionate programs all based on pay taxes, but in ways that make people relate to it, they feel that you relevant to me. There's something I can do about it. Okay, if you have any thoughts and ideas, please by all means bring them ups and submit them and we will be happy to address them. I will use this platform to the fullest extent my fullest the fullest possible extent and trying to awake myself awake everyone possible and hopefully this could be a ripple effect that we all awake each other and finally do what's necessary to our part and they burst and the rebel will do their part once we do ours. Hopefully, we don't have to wait for that ours, but So far seems to be that's what the rubber said we should do and that's what we need to do. Okay? With that let us go to the see this question. This is question is like this. You heard the invasive? Hi Robin Jacobson. I appreciate your program very much. I was learning Toyota Aid. This is of yes of yesterday Shabbos value gosh, and there's something that seems to be different than than the way it's explained elsewhere. He explained that you hood is malkos, which is lower nowadays in case of his decide which is higher. Yes of his must be a mirage billboard is a transmitter a source of sustenance and Yehuda from the word. Hey doll. Acknowledging is a Macabre recipient there for you. Who does the one who needs to come close to you sir? But you cash a lot of you who do you who the came close to the asaph the mccampbell comes to the must be here, but when we share will come it will be revealed the superiority of Malthus. And therefore you who will be higher and Yusuf will come to your hood which is like to have Taylor that we said yesterday talks about David Ogden Asia them Layla is it explained that Yusuf is one is the one who is able to be involved in this. Send in the world unlike the rest of the brothers. Doesn't explain that Yusuf is the one that was the one that was able to bring it down to be our and I'll explain that in a moment. So seemingly the question of seems that she's a contradiction. I'll try to explain what he sees but there's no real contradiction when we get when we understand the topic. So we'll see this say that all the others all the Patriarchs they were separates intentionally because they were that way they could not be involved in the hoo-ha of the marketplace of the stock market of the times and they could peacefully as the Sheep's peacefully Gray's they can meditate and pray and contemplate and And commune with God Lisa was the first one that was thrust against his will into a whole different environment. He also began as a Shepherd, but once he was sold into slavery and came down to Egypt and he became an accountant. He's Vic has been us as the targum translates, which means he's the first Jewish accountant essentially and then when he is interprets your father's dreams and he's pointed to be mishnah lamellas the second-in-command what happens now he becomes a major business man. He was in singly in charge of turning single irresponsible to Turning Egypt into a superpower by trading in the grain by stacking it up selling it when the Great Famine broke. This was immersed. No longer Shepherd's no longer is right part in Elvis audits In This Very materialistic and Pagan country. He became the leader of the business leader the leader of the leading mind and strategist and so on. And yet so this explains he maintains his spiritual Integrity as we know when he met Yakov, one of those signs he gave them that are glad Rufus sent wagons. That was the last Sugi they learned and Gomorrah together and yes of maintained his connection that even when he was the language of cieszyn be ah Bree its citrusy maintained. The Integrity of isil has the always never went to be ah, yes. They were occupied with the world to some extent but there are major thing wasn't condition. And they were so isolated insulated and yes of them entered and still maintain. This is a bigger Kiddush compared. Sometimes that Phyllis. Mincha that middle of the day you tear yourself away to pray middle of the workday my roof evening prayer in the morning prayer are in the morning before work and after work, but that tearing away. That's the kid is that even in the material world you maintain and completely completely maintain and completely preserve your spiritual Integrity. So the question is asking That that would make Yusuf. The one that goes into the ah, here we say that you who does models Mal whose is usually seen as the one that goes to be. I assume that's what he's asking. So today yossef is the mash Pia and you who danced to receive from him. Mushiya comes you who they will be the much beer because Marcus will Elevate its proper place. And yes of will come to her house that seemed with the ASA being my spear. So firstly the first answer is very clear yesterday. We must be here today March billboard. You saw this must be it must be tomorrow cause I must be it to be. Ah, he's the one that provides the sustenance. So there's no contradiction. There will also love a case of will still be a must be he'll still have that element, but Moses will have something to give that that even a sub doesn't have Because once moloch was elevated is prominent place which is to the SM case of will need that but that doesn't take away in the gate that Yusuf will not continue to transmit. He'll transmitted in general but obviously his main his main transmission has maintained its main the main transmission will be coming from your Hooda who in turn will transmit to everyone and Jason will do his transmission through his way through the Ace of way, but you heard the will then be the SM will be must be into the mccampbell will be much beer like in the cave it to say we've got Aces Kyla tell us by Le that doesn't mean the ball won't have any role to play obviously have a role to play but then he'll be receiving from the Edson from The Core Essence which only Marcus can touch so I don't really see a contradiction if I misunderstood the question of please correct me and I'll be happy to address it further what it comes down in our practical lives is that the Ace of is Tom would you who does my son Tom and Godless so maybe they might say today. We need talmud because Only way to know what to do is by receiving what the Torah tells us. So you heard the receives direction from Taylor. Let me share comes it will be my sagada you will be able to sense internally what needs to be done and Taylor will not be the we don't need to open at 8:00 it to know what needs to be done or we're not to be done Taylor then we'll serve a different role. Yeah, could you put him as the alter rebbe explains the end of section 26 and I guess a kadish. So that is the lesson to us the power we each need each other you need the must be any Well, but then the McConnell has something that one's the world is saturated with the Divine itself will tell all levels what needs to be done and does not need to receive it from the mash beer. Okay, let's do the essays. There are three essays as we've been doing that essays essay. Number one is Happiness by Joshua gold Hirsch H 45 Melbourne, Australia, it begins by quoting Dennis Prager the well-known American radio host has written a book entitled happiness is a serious problem and in it as well as on his radio show that have that happiness our he contends that we have a moral obligation to our family friends and Community to act happy and behave like we are happy, even if we may not feel happy. The obvious question is kind of person just be happy given that happiness is an emotion. What if Don't feel happy goes on to say this essay will demonstrate that by implementing the Hasidic approach to happiness in Hebrew. Simcha, then you can truly be and feel happy and not just act happy no matter what the challenge or circumstance goes on to discuss what happiness is quoting from the alte webinar get us a kadish and deafened different my modem connecting simcha Capital that you need humility. And that is the key element to it Ace a powerful. Is a short and sweet to the point the combination as Simcoe not out of arrogance, but out of humility is the key right? Next essay is challenging reality is by analyst Schusterman age 19 Chicago, Illinois student. The Barbers girls high school Chicago she writes this world is a world full of challenges. We see a reality in which people encounter challenges daily. Every person has their way of dealing with the challenges and negativity. They see this essay. I will examine the creation of the world through the Look see this in order to discover. One of The Godly tools used to approach and totally eradicate challenges and this information the will be compared to best seller emotional agility by Susan David. Okay. Yes, and the essay goes on to describe first defining reality agility and rigidity why change confirmation bias creating a new reality and then actual steps of intercept and except switch the scene fighting nature make a change and then changing our challenges. Negativity versus positivity versus Godly well annotated well done quite comprehensive and well worth reading. Thank you and finally for tonight Joy rifki Cohen H20 Manchester England student.
