Speaker 1:

Okay, everybody, welcome back to the Lech Dechmosa podcast. We continue with the Beis, alelion, Havas, yisrael, parik, yod, chapter 10. Godol HaShalom, the greatness of peace. Peace is great. Great is peace. Valkin Bo'av, tocha Sheklaidim, gu'ula Hasidah.

Speaker 1:

The promise was issued that, before the future redemption, yeh Shalom Ba'alam, there will be peace in the world. De Kivin, de Ikra HaGol. Future redemption there will be peace in the world, for since hatred, as we have explained yesterday all these years in Galus, is a byproduct of, in order for the final redemption to come, there must first be peace. Hashem did not find a vessel that could hold blessing for Kal Yisrael other than peace, Since the success of Kal Yisrael is not dependent on a battle. This is what we need to hear now. How are we going to win battles? How are we going to be victorious in the battles we face as a nation? There was Hamas, iran, all the insanity in America, whatever, whichever, whoever our enemies, our foes are. Unfortunately, this may sound at first glance, upon hearing it, as counterintuitiveuitive, or we wouldn't have thought this, but the emesis that we know, the Pasuk and Nach, not by might, not by power, but by my spirit, said Hashem that's the way we're going to prevail, that's the way we're going to win and by coming close to Hashem. The preeminent and the most sought after way to come close to Hashem is by means of peace. As it says in the Pasuk, hashem came king, became king over Yeshua and over Klal Yisrael. When the numbers of the nation gathered, when there was a, a unity in Klal Yisrael, as we find by the giving of the Torah, when they finally reached our Sinai. It says in the Torah which wasn't that they encamped, which is a plural, rather it was singular, and when they achieved that singular unity, that that's where they were. And it is incumbent upon us, as the Amonivchar, the nation that was, to pursue this and to always remember that when we're one and when we have Achtos, we're Zeychot to Torah, we're Zeychot to the Ebbish there and ultimately, we'll be Zeychot Mitzvashem to the Geula.

Moving on to Parakeet Aleph, chapter 11 of Bezmein Oisim Pires, two of them bear fruit and Bezmein Ein Oisim Pires, two of them do not bear fruit. Ve'in Olim Yetzidei Chavosai Adshi Kulon Aguda Achas. A person does not satisfy his obligation until they are all tied together in one bundle V'chein Nisal Bar Tzah. Similarly, when Kal Yisal beseeched Hashem's appeasement, adshi K, they were not granted their quest until they all are tied together as one bundle. We shouldn't say I love the Torah scholars and I hate the ulnarnid, rather love everyone, embrace everyone and find the godless as the chazal. Go the Adarab of Assemblibaynu, liraz Kalechad Malas Chavreinu, that instead of seeing the Chasreinus seeing the pitfalls at the negative side, we should see the light, the goodness and the greatness of every single Yid, because each and every Yid has a Tzalmul Hakim, an
