Altalena Story Brings LIVE MIRACLE IN TORAH LECTURE (8 Minutes)

1:07You can find this online. This is not a conspiracy anymore. It's all out in the open. There have been trials about it. There have been congressional meetings about it. There have been articles and documentaries about it. It's not just me, maybe you haven't heard of it yet. I hadn't heard of it until I did. The point is that it's real. It's not a conspiracy. Herzl had an ongoing dialogue with the Pope. Catholic Pope where his solution, Herzl's solution, not the Pope's solution. Herzl's solution to eliminate anti-Semitism was what? To convert all of the Jews to Catholicism, just like he converted his own son. This is written in the letters he wrote himself. That's all. He wrote it, and there are still streets in Israel named after him, and statues and everything. People think it's a dikduk. Ben-Gurion was no better. Ben-Gurion was such an egotistical human being that when there's a very famous mikreh that happened with him, it's a very famous event that took place when his competitor Menachem Begin came to Israel in 1948. He came on a ship called Altalena.

2:35had him and many other Jews on the ship, and Ben-Gurion knew that if they came in, it would be competition. Ben-Gurion had the IDF, and Menachem Begin had something called the Irgun. Ben-Gurion didn't want competition. So what did he decide to do? What does a normal person do when he doesn't want competition? He beats the competition. No person beats them civilly. You know, you're not in a zoo, you're not in a jungle. What does a person without Torah do? He decided to tell his soldiers to shoot the ship down, and they shot the ship down and killed many people. Begin actually survived by chasdei Hashem, but people died, and Ben-Gurion... Said this cannon that blew up the ship and killed Jewish people is a holy cannon. Like we have a holy Torah, we have holy Luchot HaBrit, and we have a holy Beit HaMikdash, he says the cannon that shot down and killed Jewish people is a holy cannon. So you see that without Torah, a person can make their own rules and rationalize them.

4:00So this is not a conspiracy. This is not, this is just a reality. It's a reality. It's a reality. We all need to know because right now we're in very confusing times. Mashiach is around the corner. We have confusing news from different avenues. Sometimes the religious people look worse than the secular people. Sometimes, the secular people, we don't even know if they're Jewish anymore. There's a lot of things going on. So, without knowing the 100 percent truth, we're not gonna know where we stand ourselves. And that's why the Gemara says before Ben David comes—before the Messiah comes—it's only going to come for a generation full of righteous or full of wicked. Meaning, not that everyone's going to be righteous and not that everyone's going to be wicked. That's not possible. Either one is not possible. But it means that there's not going to be anyone in the middle anymore. Everyone has to make a choice. Everyone has to make a choice. Yeah, you could fact-check everything I say. Go ahead.

5:00I have a picture. My dad was on the Altalena. Two of his friends died in his arms: Daniel Levy and David Mitrani. That was in my father's arms. I have pictures of my father with Reagan. I was just showing him the Altalena. They went from Cuba in 1948 to 1951. My father was the first guy in Cuba to leave and the last guy to return to Iraq. Altogether, 32 women. Wow. You see how Hashem runs the world? What are the chances? We can do all the statistics in the world. Baruch Hashem, it's the first time I'm ever meeting him. It's the first time I'm managing a shiur. I'm mentioning this information for the first time in four or five years I'm doing shiurim. It's the first time I'm mentioning this information. And the person that's a witness to everything I just told you is in the crowd. Come on. That's how Hashem runs the world. It's mamash siyata dishmaya. So you see that all of the things that... You see how Hashem runs the world? You see how Hashem runs the world? What are the chances? We can do all the statistics in the world. Baruch Hashem, it's the first time I'm ever meeting him. It's the first time I'm managing a shiur. I'm mentioning this information for the first time in four or five years that I'm doing shiurim. It's the first time I'm mentioning this information. And the person that is a witness to everything I just told you is in the crowd. Come on. That's how Hashem runs the world. That's how Hashem runs the world. Hashem, it's mamash siyata dishmaya. So you see that all of the things that...

6:14We say it not to create problems. We don't say it because we have anything personal against it. We're saying it because truth is the only way to survive. Especially in a generation right now with so much confusion. So, unfortunately, the world without Torah truth cannot exist. Truth cannot coexist within a place without Torah, and the reason why is because Torah is the truth. The signature of Hashem is Emet, meaning that everything outside of it is false. Everything outside of it is false. So, of course, the Yetzer Hara works very, very hard to convince us that we are living a life of truth. Whether we're secular or religious, male or female, Jewish or non-Jewish doesn't make a difference. But the reality is that the only way for us to know for sure if we're living the truth is if we're doing exactly what Rabbi Yisroel Salanter said—if we're fact-checking ourselves. We compare ourselves to what it says in the Torah. You have a list of things you need to do. Am I doing it?

7:32Listings not to do. Am I not doing them? Forget about it? No, forget about the bottom line. Let's get to the bottom line. Am I doing this or not? If I'm not, that means there is falsehood in my life, and there's a price for it.
