Kumi Ori: Living the Redemption with Rav Shlomo Katz

Niggun ends and shiur begins at (9:40)

In this special episode, recorded amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Rav Shlomo shares raw, heartfelt Torah to help us spiritually anchor in these trying times.

From the bomb shelters of Ra’anana to the deep teachings of Rabbi Nachman and Reb Yitzchak Breiter, Rav Shlomo opens a window into the soul of Am Yisrael—our strength, our pain, and our unbreakable longing for redemption. He responds directly to those who don’t understand the eternal mission of the Jewish people, reframing suffering not as defeat, but as part of a matarah nitzchit, an eternal purpose.

What does real victory look like? Not a regime change in Tehran, but the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash and the return of Mashiach.

What is Kumi Ori: Living the Redemption with Rav Shlomo Katz?

Kumi Ori: Living the Redemption with Rav Shlomo Katz is a living exploration of Rabbi Reuven Sasson’s masterwork Kumi Ori. This sefer maps the soul’s awakening in the light of redemption.

In each session, Rav Shlomo learns directly from the text, weaving its deep teachings with story, melody, and lived experience. Together we uncover how Kumi Ori calls us to illuminate the world not only through belief, but through the way we live — with clarity, tenderness, and conscious connection to Hashem in every moment.

This is not just learning about Geula. It’s learning to live Geula and to awaken the light that’s already within us and let it guide the way forward.

Okay. Okay, שכויח. with my Moshe. Moshe, thank you so much.

חברה, what a big, big יישר כוח to Moshe. All I did was called and he said, we got to do a שיעור. It's all it takes. It's all he did.

Texted and said, let's go. ברוך השם. So, what? I I just want to share I I just wanted to learn for a few minutes, nothing too nothing too um too much על פי סוד, nothing too much like too deep or too esoteric. Um but just obviously just to be together is a ברכה.

Even if we didn't say anything right now, just to be together is a big, big ברכה. It's huge. And we got to do much more of it, so כל המרבה הרי זה משובח. And I can't wait till we till we're all דאווענען together בעזרת השם כמו שצריך with שמחה, with love, with with safety, בעזרת השם יתברך.

אמן. Um I'm sure that many of you have gotten so many different different like uh emails and texts with combinations of dates and and and numbers and פסוקים connecting to all the and they're all true, you know what I mean? Like they're all they're all true. Um doesn't for me personally, it doesn't really get me it doesn't get me so חזק, you know, I need I want something not not more, but something a little bit different to get me חזק. But whatever it is right now, however much we're able to ממש להתחזק right now, but learn the שיעור and learn and just be to ממש be בשם כל ישראל in our region should stay like this יחסית, יחסית.

You know, in our area, יחסית. We haven't been experiencing it like in other places. My my parents' house shook to the core this morning. My parents' house shook like crazy, like never never before.

My parents you know, for those of you who don't know, my parents are in Raanana. And the and what it dropped in Herzliya, ממש shook my my parents' house was shaking. There's thousands and thousands of יהודים that that are really you know, the pep the the be be, that's not going to it's not going to do it for them. And uh that's why if anyone like, you know, comes up to you around this time and tells you how you should be, sock them.

Not really, but you know what I mean. פסק them. It's not what we're it's not what we're it's not the ענין right now. But to explain what I wanted to share, I can't believe I'm doing this, but I have to share with you something that I got last night.

Last night I came home from there was this couple, this beautiful couple that I had the זכות of uh was supposed to do their חופה last night in פסגות winery. And it's a couple that's been waiting to get married for a long time. They're they're not they're not teenagers, they're not early twenties, not mid-twenties, not late twenties, not early thirties, above. And you could see longing in their eyes for so long when they came to the office a few weeks ago, I was so I I was so moved by their by their the look in their eyes to each other.

And this was like three weeks ago. And um they were supposed to get married last night in פסגות winery. Also Rav Judah Michel's daughter was supposed to get married last night in עין חמד. Rav Judah Michel's daughter got married at about 4:00 PM in ישיבת ראשית.

Not exactly עין חמד, right? מחילה Tovi and all the other ראשית alumni here, but it's not exactly like uh, you know, עין חמד. They got married מצומצם, just some family. I was watching the live stream, so I sent Eli Michel, Rav Eli Michel a note, please go right now and and give Judah a hug. I could see if he was getting my message or not.

He was going like that. And this couple that I was supposed that that we ended up marrying off got married at about 5:00 PM, 4:30, 5:00 PM at the Laron, I still call it the Larome, the Inbal Hotel in Yerushalayim. And the feeling of נצחיות עם ישראל that we walked away from, small, 50 people maybe, 60 people, I don't know how many people. The נצחיות of עם ישראל operating on a different world brought me home with such a such a longing and דביקות for the whole world to taste what we're tasting here right now.

That's really what what what what do we want more than? We want the whole world. We want let's start with עם ישראל. We want all of עם ישראל to taste what we're tasting right now. It is impossible to do it in חוץ לארץ.

It's just not possible. You can't. It's not we're not we're not שטותing. You understand? It's not a שטות.

You can't. Doesn't this is what we want. We want the whole of עם ישראל to taste the נצחיות of עם ישראל and how we're going through what we're going through right now. So I came home to a following letter.

Now, a few days ago, I don't remember when it was, I had posted one of the pictures when I met with Bibi and shared to be דאווענען for him, וכולי. So I I got this message from a I'm just saying, I'm not going to tell you, you're not going none of you know who this person is, and it's not important. And it's someone that I haven't seen in many years, but we were good friends many, many years ago, and we haven't seen each other in many years. And obviously, he's not here.

He hasn't been here in many years. He probably hasn't been here in close to 25 years. So he wrote, he wrote to me like this, and you you'll see where I'm going, okay? You'll see where I'm going. It's going to rile you up like mad right now.

I know. Hold your horses for a second. Just hold it. Chill out, okay? Preempting, yeah.

I'm I'm beeping you right now, okay? This is how I feel about Bibi. Out of out of my respect and love for you, I won't post it on your page. You should you should be דאווענען to replace this warmongering chaos agent and fool who's marginalized Israel in the eyes of the world. Because that's what we care about, right? Who's given away any more higher ground and who's beholden to fundamentalist to keep himself out of jail.

Wake the up with this fairytale nonsense already. He caused the חמאס attack by paying them, by allowing Qatar. I thought Jews were smart. So after experiencing נצחיות, you know what I mean? after experiencing and being you know, seeing a family in ארץ ישראל like the Shabs do the Bar Mitzvah, the way that that they do it, על פי חן and even more and even more.

So I I wrote him back. It took me, ממש like I thank God I didn't write him back right away. I just wrote him, I love you so much, brother. For now, all I ask of you is to dig really deep into your heart and pray for the safety of my wife and six children as we run in and out of bomb shelters through sleepless nights and while our home shakes from the Iranian booms.

And I'm also davening that you internalize that although maybe or maybe not, I didn't vote for Bibi, he's not the matter at hand. עם ישראל is. So, a second later he writes me back. I am praying for you and I'm thinking about you every day, and I know he means it.

I want you to get the out of there and you could and just stay at my house in the Hamptons. No, this but you have to understand, we're laughing because it's so far-fetched from our reality, but he means it. Right? Until all this in Israel is fine. It's this who's up all the time.

Pray for cooler heads to prevail. Bibi has shown the world how reckless and foolish he is, whether or not Iran is completely wrong. Oh, you have to always add in, and Trump's a fool and can't fix anything. He always wants to do.

because you have to throw in that, you know. So why am I telling like, you know, I get I get a lot of these types of letters. I'm sure you all do. Maybe not.

Maybe not. I don't know. What's that? yeah So, so, why why am I why am I uh why did I I brought it up? Now I don't think it's a חידוש to any of you that there are plenty of of really good people that feel like this and עם כל בית ישראל. But I think that this type this type of a letter for me at least directed me so much more to מכוון the עבודה for this time.

What's the עבודה of of right now, of right now? So, we have, ברוך השם, very beautiful and to my and I've been around it a lot, some of the clearest guidelines that I've ever seen from Rav Ginsberg about anything. Those were very clear. They weren't complicated. It wasn't too esoteric, those the messages that he had shared.

It was pretty clear and of course we got to keep our calm and of course we got to see each other and of course we got to stay safe and stay sane. Of course, those are all that's true though every day of the year. There's no ענין there's no נפקא מינה between those days of the year and now. It's always true.

It's always true. But what now? What what is it about right now and the פנימיות of this זמן that we're in? And if if the few of the words we're sharing right now gives an even an ounce of חיזוק to one person in this room, then then then אשרינו and thank you Moshe, you know? Because as much as we we can laugh and we can joke and it's cool and there's a lot of fun things going on also right now. ממש עת צרה היא ליעקב. This is not simple at all by any measures, and we thank the ריבונו של עולם.

We we don't even we have it'll take us years to comprehend what has happened until now, just until now right now. Take years and years to comprehend it. Like one of the great generals said this morning that when the when everything will come out and we'll understand what took place, the beepers will look like a joke. Meaning.

by יקש. What do you mean? It's like with the. Oh the אישביצה. It will look back and be like we thought that that was really it'll be a revelation.

We're we're we're going to laugh. אז ימלא שחוק פינו. ממש אז ימלא שחוק פינו, we're going to laugh. To really laugh, we can't right now while you know, while יהודים are really in a state of of suffering.

Now this morning, what was it? About 9:00? When was this morning's parade? Nine? 8:55, משהו כזה? I was in the kitchen. Nachman's playing uh one of these bowling I don't know, one of these games on the phone. to see your four-year-old with that with that annoying that that thing, just for that alone this war has to be be done with. So he got he got jolted, jolted.

My four-year-old jumped and ran up you know. So so I want us to look I want us to see something. It's it'll it'll just take a few minutes. I prepared just a ממש very, very short, but I think something that's worth it.

I want you to take a look at this יעד over here. This יעד he's one of my heroes. He's been one of my heroes for many years. I don't know if it was the Men's Shiur or the Women's Shiur, we did a whole thing about him.

His name was Rabbi Yitzhak Breiter. Some of you have heard of him before. Rabbi Yitzhak Breiter was the leading Breslover chasid in Poland. And he was one of the first חסידים to be taken to Treblinka.

He didn't grow up a Breslover chasid. It's a long story. He grew up as a חסיד, but he really was spending time, and you got to look at his eyes when I tell you this story. He was spending time in the בית מדרש.

He was living in Lublin. And Rabbi Tzadok Hakohen of Lublin passed away in 1900 or 1901. He's in Rabbi Tzadok Hakohen's בית מדרש, and he's pulling books off the wall, off the shelf. And he pulled off a a book or a pamphlet, I forget what it was exactly, of something he never saw before.

He read two lines, didn't know where it was from, but he felt that every single question he ever had was answered in these two lines. Obviously, to make a long story very short, מתברר a few days later, this was רבנו's words, or some words from רבי נחמן. And from that day on, in 1905, till he was killed in I think it was 1940 or 41, he was the leading figure in Breslover חסידות. And he, there's a ספר called שארית יצחק, a beautiful ספר of his writings and his letters.

And um the חיזוק that he gave to everyone. You know what, you know what it said in the Warsaw ghetto by the Breslover שטיבל? the שטיבל banners and during the war, אין ייאוש בעולם כלל. This was what the great, the banners all over all over the Breslover שטיבל in the Warsaw ghetto. So his רוח, he was a he's a big בעל רוח, and he also, if you're familiar with the סדר היום, he put together a book that was basically showing um how how to live your daily life based on רבי נחמן's תורות and עצות from the time you get up in the morning till you go to sleep at night.

And one of the things that he said in that he writes in there is that a יהודי has to ask himself every single day how badly do I want to be in ארץ ישראל. So you think that means Chicago, Boro Park. No. It's a frat.

You're in Yerushalayim. It's in Beer Sheva. It's in Raanana. It's in Dimona.

It's in Kiryat Shmona. חברון. He said that's a question a person has to ask themselves every single day. Like how badly do I want to be in ארץ ישראל.

So if you look at the first מקור, the first source you have here is a is a quote from this ספר. This is where we're at right now. Rabbi Yitzhak Breiter says like this. דברי הימים של העם היהודי הם שרשרת ארוכה של מאבקי גבורה למען אלוקיו ותורתו.

He says, you know, our Bible, our whatever our our history book, everything about us is a long chain of מאבקי גבורה, that means like battles of heroism, for the sake of Hashem and His Torah. And this drives the וועלט nuts, nuts. שונאיו אינם מסוגלים לשאת זאת. Our haters can't can't can't take it.

האידיאולוגיה היהודית מאמתת אותם מול האכזריות. So the Jewish ideology places them in some type of a עימות, a confrontation in the face of cruelty. השקר והציניות שלהם. Their lies and their their ציניות, that means their sarcasm, cynicism, right? Their lies and their cynicism.

Their Tucker Carlsons and Candace, ימח שמה וזכרה. we're not just talking here Iran and all אויבים. There's plenty, it's like a beautiful thing. Like at least the sewage now it's coming up to the face of the water.

It's not on the bottom of the מקווה, the bottom of the pool. It's floating up to the top now, right? השקר והציניות שלהם. לפיכך, therefore, הם מכים בחייתיות ביהודי חלש הגוף ואיתן הרוח. Therefore, they're hitting with with barbarism, with in an animalistic way, חייתיות, in an animalistic way, they're they're hitting and beating what seems to be a חלש יהודי that has a weak body but a strong spirit.

However, there's only one edit to this to this paragraph for תשפ"ד because they're not beating a יהודי חלש anymore. They're trying to beat a יהודי that also has a גוף חזק and a רוח חזקה. Maybe for 77 years, the גוף was much more חזק than the רוח. You understand? It's stuff we speak about all the time.

For all these years, we pride ourselves in the גוף became so חזק, but the רוח wasn't meeting up with it. The רוח was like trying to catch up to like what we call Jewish pride or Israeli pride. And now and now can you imagine when the when the גוף is as חזק as the רוח and the and the רוח is as חזק as the גוף, game over. Game over.

Game ממש game over. זוהי מלחמת האמת בשקר. This is the war of truth in lies. והאמת מנצחת כשהיא איתנה, when does truth become victorious? When it's strong.

Right? The absolute opposite of what my friend who meant well sent me. It's the absolute opposite of that letter. כשהיהודים חזקים באמונתם, when Jews are strong with their faith, הם אינם נופלים ברוחם, they don't fall in their spirit, ואינם נשברים לעולם, and they never break and find refuge in the Hamptons. שכן הם יודעים שהם סובלים עבור מטרה נצחית, because they know that they're suffering for an eternal purpose, which which is the deepest explanation to understand you have this חברה and one of them fell yesterday.

השם יקום דמו. This precious חייל, Last night, yesterday earlier in the day was a from Reut. Tal. He's a father of two, he's been in for God knows how long.

And if we could have a conversation with him right now in the עולם האמת and we'd ask him, tell me something, do you do you regret what you did, right? חלילה, do you regret you did? אין סיכוי בעולם. There's no regret at all. Why? Because the suffering is for a what the words here are very powerful, מטרה נצחית and that's why I want you guys to know something. And please have this in mind before we go into רבנו's words, which is going to take it to the next level.

Any ounce of pain that you have right now, don't ignore it. It's what we said in shul a few weeks ago, בְּנֵי מְרָרִי. בְּנֵי מְרָרִי doesn't have נוסח ראש. Don't run away from it and pretend it's not there.

You better feel this pain right now. It's not a normal thing. There's no ענין of being a גבור that doesn't allow himself to feel what's going on right now. And with all the ניסים and the חסד that השם does with us.

There's a lot of ידע that got killed this week. Of course, it could be it could have been infinitely like we can't even imagine how much worse it could be. And it's true. But, you know, any ounce of pain and חרדה you're feeling, you have to realize this is עבור מטרה נצחית, it's for an eternal purpose.

And what's that eternal purpose? It's removing all evil and lies from the world. It's not winning a war against Iran. That's not my my my dear friend David Sachs gave over this beautiful, he sent me a three-minute shmooze, I'll send it to you if you want. He in he said like victory, the world thinks that if they'd ask us, what what does victory look to you? We would say, okay, that there's a replacement of the regime of the Ayatollahs in Iran, there's no more nuclear threats, and um and then things will be much more normal and there'll be a good life for the Iranian people.

And for many, for many people, that's considered a victory. But that's not a מטרה נצחית. That's not, that's not victory. That's not, that's not the victory that we're looking for.

Our victory that we're looking for is like everything we're saying. Is that the מציאות now will allow us to move forward towards one thing and one thing only, only. קיבוץ גלויות, the in-gathering of all exiles, the building of the בית המקדש with the coming of מלך המשיח. That's victory.

And therefore, the pain that we're feeling right now, רבי נחמן will always be there to tell you what to do. And this, I found based on the few conversations that I've I've had with חברה has been one of the most difficult things to do during this time. Um, you know, it it's interesting. We've been kind of through this for the last, you know, year and how many months? 10 months? Nine months? משהו כזה? Nine months.

A year and nine months, but not really. This is something else. This is something much bigger. Much, much bigger.

Um so people always tell you, Kenny, you got to daven, you got to daven. And also them you want to sock in the face when they tell you that, you know, right? But let's let's look at רבי נחמן's words and you won't want to sock them in the face. You'll just explain to them what they actually mean to say. They just they're never a better way of telling it to you, right? And for me, this has been this has been really uh what I'm trying to focus on personally and it's very, very hard, but it's so worthwhile.

So look at what you have in front of you, the second source, is פרקי דרבי אליעזר. פרקי דרבי אליעזר is one of the earliest earliest מדרשים that we have. Who was this is רבי אליעזר בן הורקנוס. רבי אליעזר בן הורקנוס was a תלמיד of רבי יוחנן בן זכאי.

So this is around the חורבן הבית השני and afterwards, right? So this is one of the earliest מדרשים that we have, פרקי דרבי אליעזר. And this is the מלחמה that we have in front of us right now. He predicted this. It is so clear.

It is so uh uh apparent. It's it's not going to be shocking when you realize how clear it is. And it's not some kind of a גמטריה or some kind of a, you know, סמיכות פרשיות. It's just the name.

למה נקרא שמו ישמעאל? As we know, who who named him ישמעאל? אברהם, הגר? השם. השם. השם named him ישמעאל. שעתיד הקדוש ברוך הוא לשמוע בקול נאקת העם ממה שעתידין בני ישמעאל לעשות בארץ באחרית הימים.

In the future, Hashem will listen to the voice of the עם that's crying out to him as a result of what בני ישמעאל are going to be doing to ידע in ארץ ישראל at the end of days. The anguish that they're going to cause ידע at the end of days will cause ידע to scream out to הקדוש ברוך הוא. לפיכך נקרא שמו ישמעאל. And that's why he's called ישמעאל, שנאמר ישמע קל ויענם, right? ישמע קל ויענם that Hashem will listen to them and them.

Their name which means their מהות, their purpose in this world is to get to דאווענען. flipping it completely. Not that they will be heard. you understood that? There's one, I know one ישמעאל, a יהודי.

I know a יהודי named ישמעאל. He's a guy in טקוע. Thank God they call him יש as short. It's a little bit easier.

I don't know, do you know he's not an ישמעאל? Do you know any maybe you do know רבי ישמעאל כהן גדול but do you know any other? So you see what this you see you see how how wild this is. Their name itself, ישמעאל, it's whole essence is to get to cry and to. You know what the hardest thing has been during this war? To really. To really.

So here comes רבי נחמן in תנינא צדיק ז. These are words we've learned before, but they're just important to repeat again. התפילות ותחינות ובקשות הסדורות כבר, the davening, the begging that are already organized, זאת אומרת, one way of understanding this is שחרית, מנחה, ערבית and some would say even תהילים, thank you, because that's already something that has a סדר, that has a צורה. רבי נחמן says, כבר יודעים מהם כל המחבלים והמקטרגים.

The other side, the forces of knows how to handle. They already know how to handle. They know how to they're like, ah, so they're going to do that, so we'll stand there. What does he do? He when? What depends? in the morning.

So there's morning prayers, we know what the words are. Our כחות of a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a- are our a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a- are are going to come and come combat those. It's already, it's already ordered. It's it's it's there.

Which means what, like this explanation, כחות הטומאה המונים מן האדם לקרב לקדושה. That means the powers of which prevent a person from coming close to, so this is for if you when you get more sensitive to this, to this of Torah, to the of of of, of. You understand that sometimes you're you're you're, you could feel I feel you could feel sense like I feel like it's going nowhere not only that I feel like I'm I'm shooting arrows towards the and someone's hopping them. You know, someone's grabbing them like arrows of love and of of of of and you feel like it's getting caught.

So says that's because there's of the other side and they're very very unfortunately, they're very real and they're very they do they're there whether we like it or not. These are there. وهم على הדרכים של אלו התפילות. means in Hebrew? What's that? That's what an, means ambush.

A is an ambush. At least he tried, it's fine. you got to give it to him. At least he tried, it's good.

it's fine, at least he tried. Hopefully not with an. Hopefully not with an. there's ambushes set up all on all these paths of there's ambushes, these rotten pieces of garbage rot in hell, the ones that are still putting these, these ambush, they're still they're still putting these.

You'll see this word a lot in Hebrew news, means an ambush and are still there are our leaving their their wives and five kids at home. they're there to wipe out the trash and and bury a. and they get stuck in that happens physically and that also happens spiritually says there's ambushes. this is my to all of you and and my you give me back.

but when you go on a new path that's not known yet. a new It's not known yet. It's not written in any. You know it's not going to happen to you? An ambush because no one knows you're coming there.

There's nothing ready there. There's nothing set. which those precious words that come out of our that are not necessarily and they're not but of course it's all connected to each other. but it's your תהילים.

הוא דרך חדש ותפילה חדשה, this is something completely brand new, שהאדם אומרה מליבו מחדש, that a person says from its heart brand new. על כן, אין המקטרגים מצויים כל כך לערוב. Therefore, no ambushes. Why? Because it was never done before.

It was never done before. This wasn't happen, this didn't happen yet. And even חברה that are רגיל to do התבודדות, they're having a hard time these days. It's not it's not a simple thing.

Because we're under the impression this, we should be doing this, we should be saying this, we should be doing that. I mean, one of the things that I wish that that, put it like this, if we go back to שול, שחרית מנחה and מעריב, and there's still a מציאות where we we say תהילים after דאווענען? Let's already now institute that there's one minute of of non-ambushed תפילות as well after דאווענען. You holding me to it? You're holding me I want you to all hold me to it. At least one minute.

When the kids דאווענען, the teacher tells them תפילה אישית. תפילה אישית. So we're going to scream תפילה אישית. If you do like a group צעקה after דאווענען.

You could do that but that's not exactly what he's saying over here. He's saying over here, yeah, it's בינך לבין קונו, it's something I'll tell you why because after a day or two that'll already be like it'll be already like a expected thing that already has a צורה. We're speaking here about something that has a a קרעכץ from the heart that, like רבי נחמן says, that is so loud that no one in the world could hear. What he calls זעקת הדממה.

The scream of silence. So, in in the time that we're in right now, connecting ourselves to how רבי יצחק ברייטר explained what we're what we're hurting over, what the מטרה הנצחית is. The מטרה הנצחית is once and for all, ישמע קל ויענם. Let the let the Ishmaelites do their job.

And what's their job? Let's just let's just allow their name and השם, the reason why השם chose them to be called this, let them let them finally be who they are. Just for a a split second and then and then and then six feet under. But just meaning a split second of it. Right? ישמע קל ויענם.

ישמע קל ויענם, you know where those words are from? From תהילים, from the famous קאפיטל where the אלטער רבי sings, says, פדה בשלום נפשי מקרב לי כי ברבים היו עמדי, ישמע קל ויענם ויושב קדם סלה אשר אין חליפות למו ולא יראו אלקים. You know that one, משה? פדה בשלום נפשי מקרב לי כי ברבים היו עמדי. You're all going to know it at the end, you'll see. ישמע קל ויענם ויושב קדם סלה.

ישמע קל ויענם ויושב קדם סלה אשר אין חליפות למו. אשר אין חליפות למו, אשר אין חליפות למו ולא יראו אלהים. שלח ידו בשלומיו חלל בריתו. חלקו מחמאות פיו וקרב לבו, רכו דבריו משמן והמה פתיחות.

והמה והמה והמה לעולם. השלך על השם יהבך והוא יכלכלך, לא יתן לעולם מוט לצדיק. ואתה ואתה אלהים תורידם לבאר שחת. You know the words? What what's that? The end? I know the ניגון, the words.

The end, no, the end everyone knows. ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, אפתח בך, אפתח בך. ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך. ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, ואני אבטח בך, אפתח בך.

אפתח בך, אבטח בך. So we should have הצלחה with a moment of התבודדות. A moment, just one moment of a new תפילה that there's no ambush to go up to the כסא הכבוד. And מבקש רחמים.

מבקש רחמים, רחמנות על עמך בית ישראל. That the ניסים ונפלאות that we've seen until now should be nothing in comparison to what's going to be. From here on out, בעזרת השם, leading us to the real victory that we're all דאווענען for so much. שכוייח everybody.
