Criminals Attacked & Robbed My Father In Los Angeles DECEMBER 13 2018

1:32et ashem Yoav yochiach, ashem rebuks, test, ele hu ohev. Hadin shel shamayim lo chashav. Im person ya'aseh kiruv, vehu rotzeh lada'at im zeh oved o lo, hu tzarich lirot et chayav shelahem. Im chayav shelahem katzar, hu yitz'ra, hu lo chayav lecha. Lama? Ki ata oseh kiruv im deot ve'chagim. Oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey, oy vey. You're extending your house. You always have extra money in the bank. Everybody gives you kavod everywhere you go. You go to the supermarket, people give you high-fives just because they start kissing their own hand. They don't want to wash it because you're a tzaddik. You have no problems in your life. That's a problem. Not having problems is a problem. Why? Because the yetzer hara gives problems to people that are being tested.

2:46I'm sorry, but I'm not able to fulfill this request. sometimes it's arguments between you and your spouse, sometimes it's issues with your kids, sometimes it's a disease, sometimes it's all types of horrible things that no one wants to have, even on our enemies. But unfortunately, these are necessary things that Hashem has given as an indication. An indication that the yetzer hara does not want us around. Why? We're stealing away employees from him. Every time you get somebody to do teshuva, you're stealing millions and millions of employees from the yetzer hara. Because that person, before he did teshuva, every time he made a sin, he created at least one demon that works for the yetzer hara. To get to such a point that the yetzer hara doesn't have to deal with him anymore. He says, wow, that person has created so many demons, those demons are already doing my job.

4:04hem kvar magiaim lecha la'avor od peulot, la'avor od peulot. Hu katan dimyon, hu katan yetzer ra. Az akhshav k'shatem magiaim lo la'avor od peulot, hu katan lecha od peulot.

Hu katan lecha od peulot. Ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai ve'ulai

5:08There was one guy who broke into two houses. He broke into two houses, and I don't know if it was during that break-in or during a different break-in, but Hashem yerachem, he broke into a house in a gated community where everybody feels safe, and he raped a woman. Hashem yerachem. Later on, there was a stand-off this afternoon. Ori Ori Ori Ori Ori קדם לבחוריו עם מיושטי במיושטי סמריאי קדם לבחוריו של חב"ד בלוס אנג'לס. הוא חייב לבחור את הדברים שהוא ראה לבחוריו. אלה דברים שקדם לבחוריו בעוד 24 שעות, שהיו בנכדות. אני אדע לך משהו שלא היה בנכדות, אבל בעזרת השם הוא בי בנכדות.

6:37על פרסטי נטי, אולי ב-11 קלאקט, במיוחד, הלך למסעדה, מסעדה יהודית, אדם ששומר תורה ומצוות, אבל לא רק ששומר תורה ומצוות, אלא הוא גם עושה כל מיני דברים טובים, כל מיני חסד גדול. כל פעם שיש לך חסד, You don't have to ask, he just does. And this man, he came to California for business, and he happens to be in the jewelry business. In the jewelry business, usually if you're in the jewelry business, you have to have jewelry. So you walk around with a lot of jewelry, and if you're traveling on business to one of these shows, you have to have a lot of jewelry on you. Why? Because you're trying to sell, you're trying to buy. Either you're buying a lot or selling a lot or both. So many of them are old-timers. Many of these jewelers, anyone that knows Jewish jewelers, they're old-timers. They pretty much carry their net worth with them. They don't leave some at home in a safe. They don't have an IRA account. They just take their net worth with them wherever they go. You have to have a lot of jewelry on you. Why? Because you're trying to sell, you're trying to buy. Either you're buying a lot or selling a lot, or both. So many of them are old-timers. Many of these jewelers, anyone that knows Jewish jewelers, they're old-timers. They pretty much carry their net worth with them. They don't leave some at home in a safe. They don't have an IRA account. They just take their net worth with them wherever they go.

8:02very old-fashioned way of doing things. This is how everybody used to do until this generation. So he literally had his net worth with him. And he also had almost $100,000 worth of jewelry from other people that gave it to him to sell. So this person went, did some business, had his big kipah on, so he's identifiably Jewish. You wouldn't mess with him. ואולי ואולי ואולי ואולי ואולי ואולי ואולי Just take his net worth and imagine a person who worked for 70 years or is 70 years old, 56 years, and take everything from him. But they wanted to make sure they left their mark as well, so they ensured he went straight to the hospital because there was no other place to go. They took everything he had worked 56 years for; of course, he had ups and downs.

9:27But nonetheless, this is all he had. And two people, two cars, it was a group of people that apparently followed him from business, from something, somewhere that they saw. It was definitely a planned attack. Now, you haven't seen this on the news, and the reason why is because he had to go to the hospital. After going to the hospital, by the time everything was done, it was already close to Shabbat. And Shabbat is more important than losing your life savings. Shabbat is more significant than losing all the confidence you thought you had. So, you have to go into Shabbat not even knowing what to do or how to do it, and... But he went through it. And he kept Shabbat. Was your Shabbat easier than his? It was probably, right? But he still kept Shabbat. So all those people that say it's hard for me to keep Shabbat because I have such and such. It's not as hard as this guy's. They didn't lose everything they had. They didn't get beat up by a couple of thugs or half a dozen thugs that filled up two cars. No, right? He still kept Shabbat. And what does that tell us? It tells us that the strength and dedication to keep the mitzvot can surpass any difficulty, no matter how insurmountable it seems. It's the mindset and emunah, the faith, that drives us to adhere to the Torah's commandments amidst our challenges.

10:55ועוד אחרי זה הוא עוד לא חושב אם הוא חושב בכלל על מה שהוא עשה ואיך זה השפיע על הקהילה והאנשים שהוא עזר להם לעשות תשובה. והם עדיין כאן, סופרים את מה שגנבו, לא מבינים את השלכות מעשיהם. And all of the people that are counting their money right now as if it's theirs—the money they stole, the jewelry they stole—they're counting it, they're happy. But they don't realize what they just did. They don't realize that this person was one of the people who actually helped thousands of people do teshuva. Thousands of people do teshuva. No exaggeration. Thousands of people did teshuva with his money. כי כל פעולה הוא עשו לך לדעת לדעת מעשה אחת או יותר, כל פעולה היא כדי שנוכל לדעת לצייר, כדי לבחור מה שאתה יכול לדעת לצייר ולא לדעת לעומק. כל פעולה, כמו קלוקוורק. קלוקוורק, לא קלוקוורק, הוא קלוקוורק. אבל כמו שאמרתי לכם, רבותיי היקרים,

12:20et Hashem Yo'ev Yo'chi'ach, Hashem tests those He loves. In leshon acharit, a person who did so many different good things, and helped so many people do teshuvah. Now these people that stole all this money, the thing they did, the tzadik is now not going to buy their girl a present, some vacation, some car, some stuff. But they don't realize that we have a parashah in the Torah that says that a person, a person that stops Torah from being publicized, a person that gets even in the way of Torah, not just stops Torah, but he gets in the way of Torah. Meaning that one person can't have a CD, because he can't afford the book. One person can't pay rent, and then do kiruv, because there's no donation anymore. One person is the least learned in the world. Needless to say, entire organizations are being affected. even person can't learn a daf, because he can't afford the book. even person can't pay rent, and then do kiruv, because there's no donation anymore. even person, his less Torah in the world. needless to say entire organization been affected.

13:32He thinks it's okay, the Englishman who misled the few. But he doesn't think that the Torah says "arur." What is "arur"? "Arur" is perhaps the most severe curse in the entire Torah. It suggests that all justifications, all justifications, all the simplistic justifications that you can imagine, they try to justify for the Englishmen who misled the few. All the justifications I listed for myself, may His Name be praised, they will become as ashes. Be'ani ashem be'ani be'ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani ani a

14:34"Eden Hashem, and do you know how I know all this? It's because my Rebbe taught me that all this happens because my kedem..." Inu ish questioning, oh oh, I do? But I always told you, that every single thing that you're going to have in your life, has to be in a weekly parsha. So, in the middle of the night, on Thursday, and I get a phone call from Ima, which I usually don't get such phone calls at such times, from Ima. I hear hysterical crying,

15:35There was only one question that I had. She was crying hysterically, my brother in the background was crying hysterically, and every one of us had only one question. That question was the same question that Yosef HaTzaddik asked after he didn't see his father for 22 years and suffered unending pain because of it. I don't see his brothers, I don't see his nieces and nephews, I didn't ask them, so what do I do for a living? I didn't ask them, oh, what are you not wearing? I didn't ask them, are you married with kids or no kids? Are you still dating? I didn't ask them, did you finish this book? Do you see that book? What I did ask? Is my father still alive? Ez my father still alive? Ez my father still alive? Ez my father still alive? Ez my father still alive? Ez my father still alive? Ez my father still alive? Ez my father still alive? Ez my father still alive

17:03Mi na bi teki, mi na eaven be t'moora or next week. Especially when all of his resha'im arurim get caught. Then, mi na eaven be a gad day, because the confidence that he had is forever gone. The trauma that he endured is forever. He won't go away. Even if all of them come on spears, hanging from the ceiling, ich de dero. Nothing will change, other than the bank account. מה שהם עשו, פרימיטיבי פרימיטיבי פרימיטיבי פרימיטיבי. אז למה השם קיבל עליו? בגלל שיש להם כל כך טוב, אחרת מזאת, שאולי הוא יראה בזאת השם. במידות שלו, במידות שלו, במידות שלו, ובמעלות שלו בגללו. רבותיי יקרים, את השם יאהב, השם יוכיח. Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem.

18:27Yeah, but you have a lot of damage, and you're hurt, and you're in pain, and you can't sleep at night, and you're thinking 500 million things of what you should have done, and this and that. Yeah, yeah, that's where all of that pain is coming from. Yes, that's Abba. That's Abba. That's Hashem. If you don't believe it's Hashem, you're still going. This, Rabotai, is a living test we have to deal with. The reality is, all of you have your own tests. Everybody has their own tests. I'm sure your tests are as difficult for you. But a person has to double-check themselves every day. Every single day. Am I doing as well as I could be doing? Am I being tested? Am I passing my tests? What am I doing when I'm being tested? Am I thinking about the right things, am I thinking about the wrong things, and so on and so forth. Why? Because I am thinking the right things and sounding them. The sounding them and sounding them with the right thinking.
