Alright, with that, let's jump into Parsha Schlock. We are in the first piece on page, Sam. So the major topic in this week's par is of course, rag the sin of the spies. The spies who go into ER and come back with their negative report, which causes all of that generation to have to travel through the desert for 40 years and die out in the desert until we can finally enter into er. And also, as we know from Al Plants, the seeds for Aya and Sni, this happened on the Shaba and the Gemara tells us very painfully in Ma, that, uh, you cried for nothing on that night about Rael. And I will give you reason to cry for all generations. So we're dealing with this very, very pivotal sin and, tragic moment of Raglan. Let's see how the Vo Shalom handles it. The whole concept of the MI requires tremendous explanation. It's incredibly wild the fact that they had all asked to go and spy out the land in the first place. The fact that Mo, who turns to the MOR and tells them, go and see the land. And see what you'll see. See who's living there, if they're strong, if they're weak, if there's a few or if there are many. If that land is good or if it's bad. Well, how do we understand that this generation saw the beyond natural Han guidance divine providence of AK at at. that they saw all the way also that a Q guided us in the desert, even after all those miracles that A surrounded us with VO with the clouds of glory. And he had the cloud protect us by day and the fire protect us by night. and we saw how they would be flowing from the rock water for us to drink that we saw that a K sparkle gave us, man, this tremendously lofty food from the sky. We knew that KU was guiding us in a way that was beyond all nature. We saw it, we felt it, we experienced it. How could it be that then when we get to er el, that we needed to go and spy out the land to see what's the nature of the people? Are they strong people? Are they we people? What do we think about'em? what was the question? What difference does it make if the people were stronger, weak, if the whole guidance of the people, they all experienced it, it was all beyond nature. What were they going to actually see? What did they even know that they didn't already know? What were they looking for even. How could say to them, go and see the land, if it's good or if it's bad? How could they have had any doubt about whether it's good or bad? We're already promised it's gonna be a land flowing. And look at honey, it's the land that promised us what's the question? And in particular, we need to understand. That which it says in the first paragraph, the fact that we get a retelling of this story from par in the first parsha. In the first par of Safer dva, it goes over Raglin. And in that retelling Mosha says. You came to me and asked to spy out the land and it says it was good in my eyes, VA Mo says it was good in my eyes to do such a thing. How could it be that it was a good, even Moshi thought it was a good idea to do. How do we understand that? We also have to understand. there's also a question that many Mafar ask, which is, I don't understand. Why did Mosha pick the people who he picked to send to go and spy out the land? He picked the Nasim, he picked the princes, of each one of the ti. Why are you sending tremendous individuals who are leaders of the people you know who you should send? Go send spies, Why did he feel the need to send such lofty individuals who were leaders of the people and again, not send spies? It was such a more intuitive way to go. Last question he has here O Sir Peor. This whole concept of the 40 years in the desert that because they sinned, they have to travel for 40 years in the desert and die out in the desert that way, SHA arts. So he says, first of all, how do we understand the 40 years in the desert? But also I have a question. What about the people who were 15 or 16 or 17 or 18 or 19, meaning those 19 year olds had to suffer through 40 years of traveling in the desert. When they didn't sin, they were not culpable, and eventually they were allowed in. Why was it that they, every single person that had traveled 40 years in the desert, including the ones who would be allowed in, why were they punished too? How do we understand that? So he says in the next paragraph on the opening, send for yourself people des despite the land, send them for you. And according to your thinking about it, what does that mean? So many read this Al, which I believe is as almost a condemnation of Mosha. You, you wanted to send cloth, you wanna send them fine, you can send them. And that was on Mosha to allow it to happen, but God's not gonna command it to go. He's saying a different twist on it. It's in a very beautiful, very deep twist. No, no, no. It's fine to send them, but if you're gonna send the Morlan, it must be that you send them based on your intent. Mosha your intent makes perfect sense. Your intent is La Sham. Your intent is great as I'm sure he is gonna explain. That's fine, but it's not a combination of Mosha. It's saying If you're gonna send'em to the goodish, bur it has to be based on you. It has to be based on your intentions, then everything will be fine. I. The hin that Mo had a unique reason and perspective in sending them that was different than the Raglan, and that's what it means when it says va, that the matter was good in the eyes of Mosha. The basic fundamental concept of was in fact, yes, good in his eye. It was good, but the intentions of the mor had, he known them, that was never gonna be good in his eyes, meaning there was a, an agreement between Mosha and the Mor where they agreed what to do and they both wanted the thing to happen, the davar to happen. But the kavana was light years away from each other, and that made all the difference in the world because Mo had a whole different kaa. So what was the perspective of Mosha? What was the intent of Mosha in sending the rag rag mic? RA's intent had nothing to do with seeing the physical properties of ra. Rather, he wanted to see the spiritual realities of Kasra. He wanted to see the spiritual realities of ra. Creates all things in balance that since the DU of is so great, if RA is as great as a QB, who's promising and it is. And if it's as KA as a QB who's promising and it is. Then it has to be that all things are created in balance, that it needs to be that they wanted to go and see what the nature of the equal and opposing forces of TOMA were going to be present in that they were going to have to go in combat and overcome. Kim, as the PAA tells us, Was in the south of the land. They were on the mountains. These were all of the negative spiritual forces, the KPAs that were surrounding and encompassing And Isha was buried under them and Moo's intent in sending them was to understand the intensity and the nature of the, the negative spiritual forces that were in the land. In order to know your enemy, if you're gonna go in and go to fights, you gotta know the enemy. Not that he was concerned whether they would overcome or not overcome the enemy. He knew what Kaspar was gonna take care of them, but to understand what they were walking into on a level lale, what was the nature of the RAH that we're currently in Rael covering up that Kaa the, equal, an opposite of that kaa, the force that was balancing out that Kaa until we wipe it out and how we would wipe it out, how we would overcome it. Makes whole words come to life. They make sense now. Are they strong? Are they weak? Who cares about the physical strength? How strong are the cohos of the CI on the land? how strong are the cohos of the on the land? How strong is the T on the land right now? And what's gonna be the way that we're gonna overcome and smash and destroy these negative cohorts? What did he mean? The next page, ra, there are certain lands that their nature and their reality is to bring forth people who are good people of good character and good standing. And there are places, there are physical spaces that bring forth negative evil people. He sent them to see what's the nature of the spiritual nature of the land? Is it a land that's producing these good people or these bad people? This was all the spiritual preparation for the entrance into er, to know how to overcome the, the powers of the ci of the negative forces of the negative side of Tuma that were there. And therefore israel, that's why this mission required the sending of the heads of Benet Israel arts, only the leaders of the people, these tremendously lofty individuals, only they could truly assess. The spiritual reality of the land. This wasn't a battle plan. This wasn't a military expedition. You needed the spiritual guides to go in to assess the spiritual nature of the battle lead before them, to combat the rah in front of them, to combat the two in front of them. But unfortunately, but Mo didn't realize this wasn't the intent of K, and this certainly was not the intent of the raglin. They thought, they assumed, their intention was that their mission was to assess the physical land. To assess the physical reality of, they mistakenly thought that the supernatural guidance and divine providence that they experienced in leaving Egypt and going to the desert and through their time in the deserts. That was only desert oriented. They were only gonna experience miracles in the desert. And they thought that when they came into er, they would be governed by the same natural law as every other nation. That's what they thought, um, that they would've a natural wave being guided like every other nation. The A Open tv, so they thought they were sending the magan to know how to conquer the land from a military standpoint, from a physical standpoint. They had totally different intentions in the same mission. Mosher's intention was to understand the realities of tah, of the nations of the land and how to overcome them. When we go in, and of course we're gonna win, but what is the spiritual pushback that we're gonna have to overcome as we go on March 4th into Erra and the Barragan one, thinking, no, there's gonna be no divine providence at all. Rago is gonna leave us to our own devices. It's just how strong we are and how much military might we have, and it's one nation versus another. And they went to literally assess the military situation and the land. That is the meaning of the beginning of the par. Be careful Mo. Only send them if it's by you. If it's based on your ana, based on your intentions, make sure to send them according to your intentions, where the goal is to know the spiritual realities of the how to overcome the negative forces, which are residing there. But not according to the das of the Mor. They want to go and sp out the land in a natural way. Physical realities of the land. And that's why, and that's why there was on them, that they were not allowed to go into at all for this sin who swears and says in d, or this people will never see this evil. People will never see this good land that I promised their forefathers. Because they didn't have Una in the supernatural qualities of Erra, and therefore they could not inherit it. Who says your children, who you said were gonna be taken into activity. And your children who today don't know the difference between Torah, they'll be able to go in and I'm gonna give them the land. Your children, they're gonna have the proper Una ash and through their, they'll be able to come to the land and they'll be able to inherit it. We'll personalize this soon. He's right now very laser focused on the Indian of the Raglan. I'm sure he is gonna, as he always has related to us in our vo one can already see ways that this would be extraordinarily relevant in our day and age and in our literal day and in our little moment of our lives right now. We'll get into that soon, but I wanna let him take us there. let's see where he goes before he personalized it, and then we'll talk it out in terms of how it applies. It's a beautiful, beautiful read of the me and understanding. Moss's intentions, moss's words, which again, when you read the shots, it's very staggering if you don't have a deeper understanding of his words and what it means when says, and why that was so important, then what went wrong. But we'll unpack the personal aspect of it as we go forward. So he says, next paragraph, bottom paragraph of Sam. And based on that we can understand that which it says about the MI That they despise the desirable land. They didn't seem to despise or reject ra. When they first start talking, they say that we came to the land and it's a land flowing milk and honey, it doesn't seem like they rejected the land. The Iraq, they only were struck by and were afraid of the people who were living in the land re, but that's the nature of the, such a lofty nature of er. Charles on a totally different level in a totally different place. It's not like any of the other places in the world. It's a land, like it says in Saint Ra so beautifully mo's poetry about er, that it's a land which Hashem your God, seeks it out. Tamba God's eyes are always on this land. Of ER is directly through a like with no other land. Top of the next column, Eva. beyond any nature, beyond any natural order. And that's what it means to tell him what it says. That they rejected this incredible land because the didn't believe, weren't plugged into the supernatural guidance of ra. And he says, and that's the worst fear that there is in ra. Fear against the land. The biggest fear against the land is to not understand that AK guides it in a way that he guides no other land. The unique of is it's a land that's, it's a land that's completely spiritual and the way that it's God is beyond all nature and it doesn't make any sense. The ham, and they rejected this incredibly desirable, beautiful land because Because they thought that Eric was like every other land, and that the land was limited by natural limitations. And that's why they recoiled at the fact that it could be that, that there great nations in the land, this powerful nations in the land, the. But when it comes to aper, he's guiding us. If you understand that A, who's guiding us in Elle in a supernatural way, there's no difference. Whether it's the simple people or weak people, or it doesn't matter if there's giants living there, it makes no difference. As they saw that they wouldn't need to fight them at all. The reality of is that it's beyond nature, and that's why as soon as they enter the land, the first thing that ACO does, you're about to enter Heritage Israel. You're about to cross the border. What's the first thing that I'm going to do for you? I'm gonna split the art in half. I'm splitting the ARD in because even if you don't see the same level of miraculous conquest, you need to know that everything follows the Roche. The whole year follows Rosh Hashanah. Everything follows the beginning. Everything follows the Roche. Your first second of interaction with Rael is Aase. Your first second of interaction with Rael is beyond nature. Your first second of interaction with is crossing a yarding where the water splits, because you need to understand this is going to be a guidance that is beyond all nature. Even when you think you're in nature, you're not in nature. Ka, he already experienced the beyond nature of the Han. I mean, I'm sure he is gonna go into it, but I, I can't not especially in the moment that we're in, we're in a crazy, crazy time. We've been in a crazy time for a bunch of years now, but we're in a crazy, crazy time. I remember way back when on Friday. I remember on Friday, you know, just like starting to see the news come in and I saw. This picture, this map of like what was going on in the Middle East and it's like Iran with this huge, massive land. And then it's like Israel and it's like got a line with a dot and then it says the word, because you can't fit the word Israel in the actual space when you zoom out enough to see both, you can't even fit the name Israel into the small sliver and the small. Upstart. Crazy little nation has the chutzpah to go and attack this massive, massive land and military. Like, what are you thinking? What are you thinking? And you understand you're asking a physical question. You're asking a natural question about a supernatural land. The physical size of the land, it doesn't matter. The number of people don't matter. The military might, doesn't matter, and by the way, our military is extraordinary and it doesn't matter. It's all an extension of ya hashim. It's all an extension of the UNA that we have in a kbo who's guidance of Ariel. That's the UNA that we need to live by. That's the UNA that allows us to come into, that's a lack of UNA that kept the MI in that entire generation out. And that's the UNA who knew that the next generation would need to be able to come in and it's the UNA that we need in order to be here. It's that Una and it has to penetrate us. It has to be part of us. We have to live with that. There's soldiers in this zoom right now, and I'm not in any way diminishing for a fraction, the incredible accomplishments and achievements at mysterious net fish that any of them have put in. Any of them, especially the ones here who I love and I care about and I love all of them, but especially the ones here. But to recognize that everything that we've accomplished, everything that you've accomplished, that's still all Chen. It's a Kash Bur who was guiding the hand, it's a Kash Bur who, who's guiding, it's a Kash Bur who was guiding the commanders, and it's a Kash Bur who was guiding the missions. It's a Kash Bur who is giving the radio signals and Zak burro, who has gotten your hand when you're shooting the gun. It's all a k bur ultimately he is the force behind it. That's how it goes. That's how it works. I was with my son on Friday. Friday was a very weird day, and everything had started. We weren't exactly sure what was going on yet, or how to react or had a. I think we're getting all kinds of new, um, procedures on what type of sirens and what to do and how long to stay. And the surreal messaging of like, at sometime between 10 45 and 1115, we're going to have lots of rockets. You've got like three hours. So like, like, like what do you do? Like, what do you do when you have three hours until rockets stop bombarding you? And you might be locked into my ma for like, you know, hours, days. We didn't know. At the time, we had no idea what was going on and so my wife and I both ran out. Wife went to the supermarket, the supermarkets were open. I went to all some different supermarkets to get some stuff. I went to the Mikva because has are never gonna close the Mikva. They don't care what's going on. so Eric, the COVID job was good. I went to the Mikva and I went to pick up some stuff and I came back and, uh, we still have like a hour left or so, and I basically was wanting to set up the entire house. I didn't know, we didn't know what was gonna be. So I was setting this Cha Shabbas timers and I turned the fridge on Shabbas mode and I was setting up the Nero Shabbas, I was setting up the Shabbas lights. And my son was standing there and he was helping me set up the lights and it just came out like I just like shared with him. And I was like, a, I want you to understand if this were any other nation, if there's any other country, and we knew that there were rockets coming at us in the next hour, we'd be anxious and freaking out and crying and stacking up the ade. And we all, we'd be running like, it's like, what are we doing? He's like, we're getting ready for Shabbas. It's like, that's right. We're getting ready for chais. I said, we're not worried about taking care of ourselves. Why are we about taking care of? Are we crazy? Why not? Who's taking care of us? He says, Hashem. I said, that's right. Who is taking care of us? And so our job is to take care of our Voda for him in this world. We have Una on him that he's gonna take care of us. And so our Voda right now is to do ha for Shaz.'cause again, we have to go into the ade. We have to go into the safe room. If the alarm goes off, if the siren goes off, if there are rockets that are coming, yeah. Who expects of us? You have to, you have to take care of yourself if you go into the maad. But if you have an hour, what do you do? It's that que, what do you do if you have only an hour outside of that room and you don't know what to do? The answer is what's next to the cove j. And that was a moment of success. I don't pretend to be in that zone. It was a moment of success, but that's where we need to be. That's the zone that we need to be in. To have that deep, deep una and clarity that who is guiding everything. The deep, deep clarity gives us sirens and iron domes and rockets. I mean, it's all him. And we have amazing people who are Chen, wonderful, amazing, mysterious neic people who are Chen to take care of those things. But it's all coming from him. And that's the Una that gives us er, that's how we got here. That's why we got here. That's how we walked in. When the ar dain split, that's how we conquered all of the nations. That's how we stay and that's how we remain here is through that Una. Bringing that in, holding that, nailing that down inside of us, that unwavering Una and his guidance, his supernatural guidance of Essel like no other police. My wife got a message from somebody that she worked with at a camp a while ago, long time ago, a few years ago in KTLA Arts and I, it was like shocking. This girl, woman lives in Poland. She said, I hope you're doing okay. It was very, very sweet. Mind you, it was, I hope you're doing okay. Just so you know, if you need to leave, you can come to us. I haven't spoken to this non-Jew in like years, all, which is like in a beautiful thing. Like this is like, you know, the righteous Gentiles for sure. but like, you know, if he needs to go, you need a place to go. Come to us in Poland and. Uh, we're all coping that we need to cope, and sometimes my humor's a little bit darker, and I apologize in advance if you find this offensive, but I looked at her, I was like, oh, great. Did she look across the way and see that there was a camp with some extra bunk beds that were available? like, can you imagine, can you imagine running away from Erra to Poland? that's insane, but to the rest of the world, I totally get it. It's totally, totally sane. It's totally sane. To the Americans who I'm close with, who say to me do you feel safe there? And you can't explain when you say, yes, I feel totally safe. I do. I feel totally safe. And maybe you think I'm crazy, but I call it Una. It's, and I do. I feel totally safe here. Yes, ne and yes, even today Some Jews were killed. They were killed in this war and they were killed. And they had no part in the war. They were killed just because they were living here and because they were Jews. Yes, but who's in charge? And that was the de that they went. They died al, they and the K will take care of them gun Aiden. And we need to mourn for them. And we need to feel the pain of the loss of Clara in Erit Israel. A hundred percent. But you don't let that waver for a second. Your Una in Ra han Hagas ra Clara in Erit Israel that never waves, that never, ever waivers. And the fact that we have gone through the last two years. And that we're still here the way that we are with the strength that we are. With the chutzpah. With the chutzpah, to try and knock out the nuclear power of Iran after having gone through Hamas and Gaza and Lebanon and Hezbollah, and now we're like, bring it on, and like, you're insane. It's like, why?'cause they're bigger. These are the Clippers that we're talking about. This is the TMA that we're talking about. We're wiping away that tma. Who designated his, who would have that fearlessness and the belief in our own military might for his Han and which is really guiding everything. That's an amazing thing, and we need to reinforce that in ourselves again and again and again. That that's what it means to Bar and Israel. this week. Can you imagine, this, Shabi is gonna be the shabi of Shala. Like we never had the conversations at the Shabi tables over the entire world are going to be this topic of conversation. Would you move to ra? Would you go to ra? Should we leave? These are gonna be the questions. This is the week of the morlin and not the morian of these crazy people who rejected artists for all and gave up and God al, no, these were the ole. These were big questions, but do you understand that this is how the world is run and how ERT star is run? Or do you not? And there're gonna be people who are gonna say, no, I wouldn't go there. It's too dangerous. I'm afraid people who say, I'm not ready to go yet. I have to organize this stuff. I have to make Ali. Okay. Everybody's got their reasons and their excuses and that's fine. Okay, there's rot, everybody should be able to come. But somebody who says like, how could I go? It's too dangerous. I'm scared. It's, it requires us to dig deeper and be a mom. People just say, here, I'm scared. I wanna leave to dig deep to realize what it means to be here. To be a maman Una, like it says, it's a beautiful S that he quoted from rum. I love that rum. That whole group has Hashem. It's a lamb that who is seeking out. He's constantly looking and guiding and connecting. And when you're here, you feel it. Anybody who's had the skills to be here for any amount of time. You walk around the streets of ro, you walk around the streets of Yula Kodish. If you open up your mind and you're so not your mind, you open up your soul and your heart, You feel the guiding hand of God in a way that you don't feel anywhere else, in a way that I can't explain or describe. You just have to experience it. That's re. That's what the mely were meant to see, to feel. And the only thing we need to compete against, which we also need to take to heart is the implication of what the TiVo Shalom here is saying. And he's not saying it overtly, but it's very much implied here. The physical stuff doesn't matter, but it does require us to live up to the spiritual requirements and the spiritual demands of what it means to be an Eist Israel. It's not a free pass. It's not a free ride. You and I says, God, you and I both know we don't need to worry about how strong the people are. We don't need to worry about whether they have enriched uranium or they don't have a uranium. They don't worry. They have missiles. They don't have missiles. They don't have to worry any of that. They're giants. They're not giants. None of that's a problem. Don't worry, but it is worth it. Hear what he's saying underneath the surface. It's not explicit under the here, but he's saying it. But you do need to go and see the rah the of the land.'cause that is a real threat. Because if you allow yourself to become susceptible to the TMA of the other nations who have infiltrated and infested this qosh land, if you become like them in my holy land, then yes, you do have what to fear because it's a supernatural guidance. Because physical things are not gonna get you thrown out, but you do need to prepare for the spiritual battle of fighting against these nations. Who is the charan kpa? That is actually something you need to be worried about. That is something which yes, you need to prepare for. It's underneath the words right here. if that's the reason why you're sending spies, it's good. Says a kbo. Eric. She's not a free ride. We have big fights to fight here. We have the sleek and we're fighting the physical fights, and we have, right? Basically every single one of us is here and every single one of us is not here. To make sure to fight against the tma, to fight against the spiritual forces of negativity because that ultimately is the real deciding factor because that expresses and states whether or not we have a true relationship with a Q bur, if we're willing to overcome the negative spiritual forces to connect to him, to bind with him, to commit ourselves to him. Then we're engaging and bringing down and bringing out that beyond nature, guidance, severity, il. But if we allow ourselves to become susceptible to the impurity that, that the other nations bring into this place, infiltrate this with whether it's the other nations that surround us to the nations that's at times are within us, or the culture that we've imported from all around the world, if we allow that to become part of who we are. Then that same supernatural guidance will push us out the same way it can pull us in. it's not there or not there. It doesn't go away or not go away. Kako is always running the show, but he is running it based on those choices. Based on the Roche Benet, based on the clarity and the vision and the directives of the greatness of Ka, of their relationship with the toma. The Kadu, ver. That's how we're guided. That's what we need to be focused on. Those are the conversations we really need to be having. How are we gonna make it through this? What can I take upon myself to be more qosh, be more taho, to elevate myself and my relationship with the QB? Because that's what this land is. It's the land of relationship with the qds bur, that's what it's all about. Let's see if we can get him one more paragraph. So I'm sorry that I spoke before he spoke, but he's probably gonna say a lot of the concepts that we just talked out. I'll move through it a little bit quickly since we're coming short on time, and he's gonna probably talk about a lot of the things that we just talked to and the way that a person is ra, whether you're living here or whether you aspire to live here, it's Una. that exactly according to the amount that you work, that each one of us works to embed within ourselves the Una that who is guiding Israel and er Israel in a way that is beyond nature. So to, to the kaha, to the holiness of Erit Israel. A person who doesn't have, can't sustain here. They're always welcome here, Al. I'm not saying anything different, but they can't sustain here in a way that they're going, you can't be here like that. It's not gonna work. Saying here he's saying that it wasn't even a punishment necessarily, that they weren't allowed in saying if, if you don't have Una in the Han hug of so. You can't come in. It's not sha you, you're not gonna make it. You're gonna freak out at every turn. You're gonna freak out at a giant there and an army there. And this, you're not gonna be able to make it here because you don't understand what the land is. It's not Shaya for you to come in, it's not gonna work. But who can come in ua? But your children, who you said will be taken captive, they're the ones who are gonna be able to come in and inherit it. Because they have the simple the of a child, the of a person hasn't become jaded, the A of somebody who hasn't lived too much life outside of er, Israel. And sometimes, sometimes that can lead a person to waver in their una in the hara there's so much clearer and pure and able to just see that things here are different. You could see it in so many children. You see it in the children who are here, who are growing up with this. You see it inside of them. To overcome it, and the Torah is eternal for all generations and this concept. For every single Jew, always that the way to be to inherit, to receive the is supernatural guidance to the land. It's like the VO Shalom wrote these words for us right now here, and I'm sure he did. I'm sure in his ko she wrote these words for us right here. That's what it's all about. There's more to say but we'll stop here. This is, this is the tour of the moment and, and when I opened up and I started Smer this morning and I read through the beginning of Rag, I wasn't thinking any of this.'cause again, in the shot you don't necessarily see it. And then she said, well, she was bringing out for us. To see deeper, to recognize that the Torah is always, always our guide. Tara is always guiding us and who's guiding everything so much that he just make sure that the parses that we're in have all of the messages that we need in order to overcome the moment that we're in. It's not stam that this week is Parla saying We have a week right now. We had a little bit of a pre week on Friday in Chavez, okay. To, to get settled in this new reality, which hopefully will pass. In the blink of an eye there who should guide us. He can do whatever he wants, so let him guide us so he can, we've seen the way that he can guide through in the military, like what we did On Thursday night is beyond, if you read into the things that we accomplished in one night in a foreign country. When my wife first told me, she's like. I read an article that said that we have a base of operations of munitions factory in Iran. I was like, somebody mistyped that very quickly.'cause there's no way we have a munitions factory in Iran that doesn't make sense. And then you went like, oh no, we did. We did. Like that's insane. That's actually insane. It's wild. We had a few days to get settled into, oh, oh, okay. This is wild. I get it now. Now I get to choose over the course this week and train myself over this week whether I'm in Art Israel or a Israel. It doesn't matter if I'm a Jew, wherever I am, which eyes am I seeing with? Am I seeing with unfortunately Morlin oriented eyes, or am I seeing with Mo Dega, am I seeing the world and through Mo Deis. And I'm looking at the Han. I'm looking at re, and I have confidence and joy and celebration in the fact that I know that ARO is taking care of us and guiding us. And he's going to get us through this wherever it takes us and whatever it means. And with all of the things that unfortunately will likely happen that they won't, but that will likely happen, that will shake that una and challenge that Una. And the things that don't make sense on the surface. It's all there too. It's all there too. But to see with Mosha, dick eyes, Mosha oriented eyes and perspective. And to see the hanah of ra, that it's like no other place. There's no other place like ra. There's no other reality in space like ra. There's no other DU and who guides it in a whole different way. We should be Zha to be able to see with that clarity of Monu that we should see according to moss in this generation in all generations. And through being able over the course of this week of the Shabbas, to train ourselves to have Moshe eyes and to see, and to have the Una to see who was guiding this land so clearly, who's guiding this land in a way that's beyond nature. We should be soha to be like those children that our inner child out like those kids and those teenagers who are there in the desert, who because of that simple, clear, pure, beautiful Una, we should all be able to together, if we're outside of Ari Israel, dance into Ari Israel. And if we're here to grab their hands and sing and dance with them, with complete Una in the revelation of the glory of as we see that there descend into this week right now, everybody.
