Torah Study Keeps Atoms Spinning

0:39If not for my covenant, day and night, the laws of the world, the laws of creation will cease to exist. And the Gemara in Masechet Shabbat says, "Briti" here is referring to Torah learning, meaning Hashem is telling Jeremiah the prophet if someone is not learning Torah in the world at all times, 24 hours a day, there has to be somebody learning Torah or the world's laws will cease to exist. Hashem is telling Yirmiyahu the prophet that if no one is learning Torah in the world at all times—24 hours a day—there has to be somebody learning Torah, or the world's laws will cease to exist. Meaning, if you have gravity, you will no longer have gravity; if you have oxygen, there will be no more oxygen. Now all of the atoms are spinning to make everything look like it's solid; no more spinning. And for anyone that understands science, when atoms stop spinning, the subject evaporates, disappears. It doesn't explode, it doesn't break, it just disappears. We talked about it in a different lecture. But nonetheless, Hashem is telling us here,

1:53that if it's not for the Torah that someone in the world is learning, the world will cease to exist. Meaning, that you, little guy, studying a little Chumash at 11:30 at night, you're studying a little Gemara, Masechet Bechorot, Masechet Ta'anit, Masechet Shabbat, or whatever Masechet you're up to, at 1 a.m., at 1 p.m., whatever that is, You barely understand what they're even saying. But you're studying, you're trying, you're breaking your head. A little bit of sweat, almost as much as I'm sweating today because there's no air conditioning. You're breaking a sweat. You, my friend, are responsible for a certain part of the world at that moment. Why? Now, let's say right now we have about 7.37 billion people in the world. Let's just call it 7.4 billion people in the world. Out of the 7.4 billion people, approximately 20 million are Jews. Give or take, some say 13 million, some say more, some say less. Let's just say 20 million. Whether it's 20 million or 13 million, it's essentially the same on the grand scheme of things. Out of 7.5 billion people, it's a rounding error.

3:14Out of the 20 million people, 2 million keep Shabbat. Which, in essence, means that out of the 20 million people, the 2 million that keep Shabbat, approximately 2 million, maybe 3 million, they're the ones that are more likely learning Torah. The ones that are not keeping Shabbat most likely are not learning Torah on a regular basis. Maybe once in a while they watch a shiur, but on a regular basis, they're most likely not learning Torah. so now you've already lowered the number. Out of, let's say, the 3 million that are learning on a regular basis, not all of them are learning at the same time. Some are learning at night. Some are learning during the day. Some are learning for an hour. Some are learning for 15 hours. Some are learning for 15 minutes. So now you've narrowed it down even more to that one hour. There's different time zones. One guy is learning at 1 in the afternoon, but the other guy also learns at 1 in the afternoon. However, here, at 1 in the afternoon, it could be 17 hours later, 8 hours later, or 7 hours later depending on the location. This means they're never learning at the same time. So at any one particular moment, I don't know, maybe you have 50,000, give or take 15,000, learning at once.

4:41They're actually learning Torah in the world. 15,000 or 50,000. Even if you have 100,000 learning Torah. 100,000 people learning Torah. And if you had 2 million people studying Torah, that means that each person is responsible for approximately 3,700 people in the world. Meaning 3,700 people in the world are alive because of him learning Torah. That's if all 2 million are learning. In reality, it's not ultimately a half a million learning at the same time. If you multiply it by four, approximately 14,000, each person is responsible for 14,000 people. Most likely, it's 50,000. Which means that each person is responsible for 150,000 people being alive for that 15 minutes that he's learning. That one hour that he's learning. Meaning that if he didn't learn, Hashem would end the lives of 150,000 people. You understand what it means to learn Torah? People celebrate because they have 5,000 friends on Facebook, whom they don't even know.

6:01I'm telling you, learn Torah for five minutes, you're responsible for 150,000 people being alive b'chlal. In the book of Yirmiyahu, chapter 32 verse 32, Hashem talks about how upset He is that Am Yisrael... This time, they angered Him many times. We've unfortunately let Him down, but here He specifically says that He expelled us from the country because we angered Him. Not only did we do evil, but we angered Him. He says in the verse, "because of all the evil that the children of Israel and the children of Judah committed to anger Me." And their kings, their officers, their priests, their prophets, and the people of Yehudah, the inhabitants of Yerushalayim—so what do they do that's so bad? They're angry about listening to Hashem. We have let Him down many times, but He specifically says we angered Him. To Me, they turned their back and not their face, and though I taught them, they would not listen.

7:27Arise early in teachings. They do not listen or accept rebuke. He says, listen, I taught them many things. They won't even listen to what I'm saying. They won't even accept the mussar, the prophets that I'm sending them. To tell them the truth, they won't even listen to them. People that are talking to Me directly, they won't even listen to them. But he says something different here from all of the verses. He says they turn their back and not their face. Now, if I turn my back to you, that obviously means you don't see my face. Why is there a repetition of turning back and the face? It's two of the same thing; it means the same thing. Why is there repetition? Chazal explain that this is Hashem is trying to tell us that this is a double sin. A double sin, which we learn in chapter 2 of Yirmiyahu. In chapter 2, verse 13, it says, "For My people have committed two evils."

8:48They have forsaken Me, the source of living waters, to dig for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold the water. So Hashem is telling us here, you made two sins. First, you left Me, you're making sins. First, you said, listen, I can't keep Shabbat because I have to work. I have to work on Shabbat. But what did they replace Me with? They replaced me with falsehood. The satan interfered, and the Facebook Live stream stopped because my phone battery died. Let's see. Let's try it again. Apologies to the Facebook Live audience. The battery is depleting, and our time is limited. But nonetheless...

9:51Anything you miss, you'll be able to see on YouTube, or Torah Anytime, or BeEzrat Hashem.org. But here, Hashem is telling Yirmiyahu, they made two sins. First, they left Me. That's already a sin. They said, I can't keep Shabbat. Then, I asked them, why? Why can't you keep Shabbat? They said, I have to work. But in reality, six months later they use that money that they made on Shabbat to go on vacation to Cancun, to go buy a fancy car, to go buy a bigger house. If you have all this extra money to go on vacation, do you need to work on Shabbat for it? How come you have extra money to give to vacation but you don't have extra money to give? How come you can't keep Shabbat; you have to work on Shabbat all year, but on your vacation, it's okay? Six months later, they use that money they made on Shabbat to go on vacation to Cancun, to buy a fancy car, or to purchase a bigger house. If you have all this extra money to go on vacation, why do you need to work on Shabbat? How come you have extra money for vacation, but you say you don't have extra money to keep Shabbat? You work on Shabbat all year, but then on your vacation, it's okay to take time off. You don't work. You can take two weeks off for vacation, but you can't take off one day a week for Hashem. So it's not only the sin; there's the chutzpah of the sin. So that makes it a double sin. And Hashem says, that made me angry. It's not just a sin they made.

11:16It's not that they just went and worshipped idols; they worshipped nothing. They replaced Me, the Source of water, with a little hole that can't even contain the water that I gave them to fill in it. What happens to people that make this double sin? If you go to Tehillim 115, verse 17, King David says: Translation, neither the dead can praise God nor anyone who descends to Duma. To people that make this double sin. If you go to Psalm 115, verse 17, King David says, "Translation: Neither can the dead praise God nor anyone who descends to Duma."

12:16What's Duma? Duma is the angel responsible for the excuse department in Gehenna. All of those people that had special excuses of why they're not keeping Shabbat, because they needed to work, but yet... It wasn't because of work. All of the women that said, "I can't be modest because people make fun of me," but that really wasn't true. It's because they want to get attention. All of the people that made all types of excuses, for Hashem says, "Don't worry. You have a special department reserved for you. Dumah will take care of you. You'll become BFFs real quick." Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah) gave us a pretty serious message we got today. Sunny and I, we saw something very scary. Continuing in chapter 2 here in verse 20, Hashem is telling us that we've let the yetzer hara control us to the point where we are acting like a zonah, chasing after money.

13:36We're just... Oh, you have a thing. So you could... Yeah, take the thing off and then... There you go. There you go. Facebook, you have to come to the rescue. Okay, we got an extra battery. I think so. Yeah, it's good. Looks professional. I know what I'm doing here, so Hashem says here in Yirmiyahu (Jeremiah), Chapter 2, Verse 20: "For of old, I have broken your yoke and torn off your straps, and you have said, 'I will not transgress.' Yet upon every lofty hill and under every leafy tree, you wander like a harlot." Hashem says...

14:37You're the one that says you're going to be religious, you're going to do teshuva, you're going to start keeping mitzvot. What mitzvot? You started keeping Shabbat, but you're still a thief at work. You started keeping kosher, but you still yell at your wife non-stop. You started learning Torah, but you don't listen to a word the Chazal say. You go to Beit Knesset, but you're thinking about the baseball game instead of thinking about the fact that you're in front of Hashem. everywhere is taking you, you're going just like a prostitute, to such an extent that it talks about the end of times. In verse 27, it mentions that it got us to a point where we're worshiping idols. It says they say to the wood, "You are my father." And to the stone you have borne us. And if any of you remember in my other shiurim, in parashat Va'etchanan, the book of Devarim, chapter 4, Hashem gives us a prophecy of what's going to happen at the end of times after we've made many sins. We're going to get to a point where Hashem is going to throw us out.

16:05And we're going to continue sinning, and what's going to happen? We're going to follow the god of wood and the god of stone. If you remember in chapter 4, verse 27 and 28, it says, Hashem will scatter you amongst the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where Hashem will lead you. There you will serve gods, the handiwork of man, of wood and stone, which do not see, and do not hear, and do not eat, and do not smell. He's saying these two idols, the handiwork of man, of wood and stone, is what you're going to follow. Wood representing Christianity, stone representing Islam. You're going to follow this idol worship; you're going to follow falsehood, all types of heresy. Before you come back to Hashem, that's what you're going to do. Here, many, many centuries later, He's telling Jeremiah the very same thing. He's saying that these people have already turned to idolatry. They're saying to the wood, in essence to Christianity, "You are my father," and to the stone, "You gave birth to us." We all come from the same misguided beliefs.

17:31And then he continues, and he says, to me, they turned their backs and not their faces. Again, he's talking about the chutzpah, the double sin. But in their time of distress, they will say, arise and save us. And eventually, when they get into serious, serious trouble, they're going to say, Hashem, this god of wood and stone is not helping us. This falsehood is not helping us. You need to help us. Now, all of this sounds wonderful. It sounds far away until today.

18:32I saw a clip that was published maybe a year ago. Anyone who's been following some of the current events concerning terrorism and matters such as these can see that ISIS is doing everything possible to not only kill as many people as they can, but to also instill fear in those who are still alive. One of their scare tactics is that they brought some Arabs who speak Hebrew to make videos and send them to Israel to frighten them, saying, "We're coming to you. We're coming to scare you. We're coming to kill you. We're coming to fight the war. Don't think that just because we're in Syria or in Iraq or in all these places that you're okay. We're coming to you." Now, this has happened several times in several videos you can find online. Quite a few show ISIS killing people, Hashem yerachem (God have mercy), and so on. There are even a handful where they're actually speaking Hebrew, which is more intimidating for anyone that speaks Hebrew. Why? Because it's showing that these people lived in Israel at some point, meaning that they were bred in Israel. But the rest of these terrorists that live over there, these Arabs that hate Israel, live there but they hate them.

19:53What's the scary part? The scary part is that in the clip we are about to publish in the next few days, you will see this terrorist from ISIS talking in Hebrew. He says, "We're coming to you. It's going to be a big war, not just any war, but the war of stone and wood." Just like the prophet said, in accordance with what Hashem put in his mouth, the end of times is going to be a war of stone and wood. It's not so far away from home. The Sages ask, why did such a big punishment come to Am Yisrael as mentioned in Jeremiah chapter 32? Hashem threw them out, got angry. Why? For what? What did they do that was so bad? Okay, you know, many times we committed other sins. But here, it's not just talking about idol worship. Here, it's saying they angered Him. What did they do? He says the punishment came, meaning...

21:18because they didn't make a blessing before they started learning Torah. They didn't recite the blessing. That's it. That's our problem? Not keeping kosher? This is what you're telling me? We didn't make a blessing? We studied Torah without making a blessing. That's why everything was destroyed? Another Gemara in Masechet Nedarim 81a says that some Talmidei Chachamim, some sages, have sons who don't end up being Talmidei Chachamim. Not everyone has children who, even if they are Talmidei Chachamim themselves, will end up being Talmidei Chachamim, just like it says in the Mishnah. Apply yourself to Torah study, for it's not yours by inheritance. Just because you're a Talmid Chacham does not mean that your children will also be Talmidei Chachamim. So the Gemara asks, why? And it gives the very same answer: because they didn't make a blessing before they started to learn Torah.

22:40It's that much of a big deal to make a blessing to learn Torah to the point where you can destroy everything for it? No, it's not the blessing that's important; it's what's behind the blessing. These tzaddikim learned Torah; they were nevi'im, they were tzaddikim, they were chachamim, they were amazing people. They sat down, they started learning, started learning, started learning. And Hashem says, that's a problem. Today, we'd be lucky if I could just convince everyone in the room to start learning every day. And you're telling me that not making a blessing is a problem? What's the meaning behind this? The meaning behind this is the problem we had back then is the very same problem we have today. We have no idea what it actually means to learn Torah. Because had we known what it is to learn Torah, we wouldn't stop. If we knew what it means to learn Torah, that every time you open the book, Hashem shows up. You open the Torah, ten people learn together, the Shekhinah comes. Nine people, the Shekhinah comes. Chazal say all the way to the point where even if you're studying by yourself, the Shekhinah comes. Meaning, you have a meeting with the King of Kings. HaKadosh Baruch Hu is coming here. And what are you doing? You're learning and you're answering the text, and you're looking at the bunny video. Look, honey, look at what happened. Look at the baby pictures. If only we understood the magnitude of this holy learning.

24:05Nine people, Shekhinah comes. Chazal says all the way to the point where even if you're studying by yourself, the Shekhinah comes. Meaning you have a meeting with the King of Kings. HaKadosh Baruch Hu is coming here. And what are you doing? You're learning and you're answering the text. And you're looking at the funny video. Look, honey, look at what happened. Look at the baby pictures. What is this like? Someone is having heart surgery. Heart surgery is no joke. In the middle of surgery, the top surgeon in the world stops the surgery because he has buzzing in his pocket. He takes out the phone and starts looking at it, then begins to laugh. Everybody looks at him, wondering why he is laughing. They go over to his phone. And they all watch, and he sees little cartoon videos that his grandson sent him. And they all watch, and he sees little cartoon videos that his grandson sent him. And he starts laughing at this. He sees Bobby's World and starts laughing at this cartoon. Meanwhile, the patient's heart is open, bleeding everywhere, and he's laughing at the video. I have to eat.

25:25owner of the hospital, manager of the hospital, president of the hospital, even the patient's family saw this irresponsible doctor playing with his phone in the middle of the surgery. What would they do? They'd probably remove him from his position, ensuring he never performs another surgery. This is us when we learn Torah and let the world around us distract us. This is us. We have a meeting with the King of Kings. But we're looking at our phone. We're looking at the television in the background. We're managing a conversation with the wife or with the friends. Thinking about Parashat Bereishit. It's a simple parasha this week. It's just Moshe just crying, you know, past the Sea of Reeds. Great miracles. Oh, what's the game? What's the score? Oh, yeah, yeah. They continue reading like it's a Harry Potter book. That's what the Gemara means here. They sat down, even them, even the sages sat down, and they didn't think enough about the fact that they're about to meet Hashem when they're learning Torah. So then they make a blessing.

26:41They're so focused, they want to just delve into the learning. Even if you're a sage. Even if you're a Talmid Chacham. A Talmid Chacham is considered higher than a prophet. Higher than a prophet. Even if you're a Talmid Chacham. Even if you're a Gadol Hador. Even if you're a Tanna. You must prepare yourself to learn Torah. Not just learn Torah; prepare yourself to learn Torah because when you open that book, the Shekhinah comes. You have a meeting, a meeting with the King of Kings. Act with some respect, act with some care. Don't act like it's a baseball game; don't act like it's just another thing. It's not just a big deal, just learning. He says, if you don't treat it with respect, not only is that enough to make Hashem upset, but it's to the point where your kids are going to see you. They see how disrespectful you are to the Torah. Okay, so you know a few verses by heart. Okay, you even know a few dapim by heart. So what? So what? To them, there's no sefer. He's reading this old book from 2,000 years ago.

28:02That's why they're not going to come in and say, "Hey, listen, that's yours, you own that. It's not my inheritance, I just want money, I just want money." So, to conclude, everything that you do must be for the sake of heaven. You want to reach a point where you are learning for the sake of Heaven, as you are supposed to. You want to reach a level where you become eager to start adjusting your life to ensure you're ready to learn Torah. You have to begin adjusting your life to start learning Torah not just to learn Torah, but to learn for the sake of learning Torah, as the Rambam says in Hilkhot Teshuva, chapter 10. All of one's motives should be directed for the sake of Heaven. Everything that a person does has to be for Hashem, not because he's getting money, not because he's expecting a reward, not because he wants Hashem to help him with something specific. He's doing it simply because he has to do it.

29:23Hashem says, do netilat yadayim, you do netilat yadayim. Hashem says, keep Shabbat, you keep Shabbat. Not because there's an olam haba, not because you may get parnassah, not because you want Hashem to send you anything. No, you do it purely because that's what you have to do. You start treating the Torah like that. Where I have to learn, just like I have to breathe. Just like I won't go a day without breathing, I'm not going to go another day without eating. And I'm not going to go another day without learning Torah. You start treating the Torah like that, you have a chance to succeed. In the book, To Remain a Jew by Rabbi Yitzchak Zilber, he gives an amazing example on page 364. It says all the things that he did in his life. He went through practically a holocaust and a lot of craziness in Russia. Persecution beat him up, took his money, tortured him, and his family went to jail for just being a Jew. He says my most important thing that I wanted to do every day, aside from obviously teaching the public Torah, was to teach my son a little Torah. Also, teach my son one day. I was really, really tired in the middle of the shiur; I started to fall asleep. Persecution beat him up, took his money, tortured him, and his family went to jail for just being a Jew. He says, "The most important thing that I wanted to do every day, aside from obviously teaching the public Torah, was to teach my son a little Torah. One day, I was really, really tired in the middle of the shiur, and I started to fall asleep."

30:51So I fall asleep in the middle of a shiur. I get tired. It's 12 o'clock at night. I fall asleep. And my son said, "Abba, why don't you take some rest?" And I thought to myself, "Yeah, you know what? I really should rest. I really was tired." But then I said to myself, "Maybe it's just the yetzer hara. Maybe the yetzer hara is just making me tired." So I said to myself, "Okay, wake me up in a half hour. That's all I need. I need a half hour just to get myself a power nap." I got a half hour. I woke up and we started studying. We had a great lesson. But the most important lesson of that day was this: I finally realized and learned what it means to do everything l'shem shamayim—for the sake of Heaven. Two people exist, and both have the exact same job. Both make the same amount of money. Both, let's say, make $75,000 a year as an example I'm going to give you now. Two people make $75,000. Both of them work the same amount of hours. They both work 12 hours a day, let's say. They both make $75,000. One guy makes all of his money and works as hard as he does to make sure that he has money to pay for the vacation to Cancun, or to Israel, or to Mexico, or to a different place.

32:17I think Cancun is actually in Mexico, so perhaps somewhere else, like Greece, or to buy some furniture, or to buy a newer car. The other guy makes the same amount of money, puts in the same amount of work, and the same amount of effort, but he works this hard so he can afford to give his children a Torah education. They go to a good yeshiva. where the teachers are kosher and they're not beating up kids like we hear every other day. Kosher teachers, kosher teachings, with boys and girls separated; a real yeshiva like it's supposed to be. And he has extra money to give some tzedakah for people that are in need, and he has some money to help other souls come back to Hashem by doing some kiruv. Now both people make the same amount of money, and both people work just as much. They both work 12 hours a day and make $75,000. But when they both arrive in Shamayim, there are worlds apart. The one who made $75,000 for the vacation and the furniture and the car and all the stuff that he had,

33:35They say, "What did you do in this world?" And he responds, "Listen, I worked, I worked, I worked, I worked, and I worked." "So how much time did you learn?" "Not so much, maybe like 15 minutes a day." "Okay, so you have 15 minutes a day times 100 years—that's what you have." Another person comes. "What did you do in the world?" "I worked, I worked, I worked, I worked, I worked." "And what did you do with the money?" "I did this." "Oh." Every single minute of your job is considered as if you learned Torah. Why? Because the only reason you worked is not because you wanted to get fancy hotels and fancy cars and fancy anything, even if you got them, even if you had a big house, even if you had a fancy car. But the main purpose of you working hard was to make sure that you're supporting Torah, supporting tzedakah, supporting zikui harabim. And the other things were just a byproduct. It's considered as if every minute of your job was considered as if you learned Torah. In addition to the Torah that you learned, obviously, in reality. You can't just say, listen, I work all day and I learn Torah. There's no such thing as a righteous person who's also ignorant. You have to learn Torah in addition to working. But nonetheless, if every job that you did, everything you did, had Hashem in mind, I'm doing this so I can learn more Torah.

35:03Publish more Torah. Support more Torah. It's considered as if it's all Torah. And Rav Zilber says that the half-hour nap, I didn't nap just because I wanted to sleep. Just like any other animal, I need to sleep. But I slept just so I could learn better Torah. If every one of your actions is for the purpose of getting to Torah, then you can fulfill the issue we had in the past where we arrived at Torah but we didn't know what to do with it. We didn't even make a blessing, and that's one of the most important things that a Jew needs to understand. If you start valuing the Torah for what it really is, it becomes easier, it becomes more valuable. then you can fulfill the issue we had in the past where we arrived at Torah but we didn't know what to do with it. We didn't even make a blessing, and that's one of the most important things that a Jew needs to understand. If you start valuing the Torah for what it really is, it becomes easier, it becomes more valuable. Every time you learn Torah, you start thinking, you know what—there are 150,000 people or more that are alive just because of this very simple shiur Torah we've had for the last couple of hours. A couple hundred thousand people are alive because I sat here and learned Torah. That seems more valuable; that seems more significant. It makes you feel like a superman—you really are!

36:31But if you're thinking, listen, if I know Parashat HaShavua or I don't know Parashat HaShavua, if I know the Halacha of Shabbat or I don't know the Halacha of Shabbat, I'll just follow what everybody else is doing. Then, it's very easy for us to fall. And the fall, as we talked about in the beginning of this shiur, is very, very far. We start with a little thing that doesn't seem like a big deal. Listen, I don't know what the Parashat HaShavua is, but I'll just read along. I'll read along. I don't know what I need to do on Shabbat, but I'm going to his house. I'll just do what he does. It seems like it's not such a big deal. I'm new anyway. The next thing you know, you've become used to this small, seemingly insignificant sin. Then you start actually sinning more. But it's a small sin, you justify. Then it's a bigger sin. And little by little, the Yetzer Hara takes control and makes himself comfortable inside your neshama. And lo and behold, eventually, it takes complete control, and you're back to where you started before teshuva, or even worse. It's much harder to do teshuva a second time. That's why some of the most difficult people to help come back to Hashem are those who used to be religious. Because they already think they know everything. So a Baal Teshuva is telling you, be careful.

37:58With all of your Torah. Because it's not something you're just going to get by default, just because you read a book. Just because your father knew something. Just because your uncle knew something. Just because, even, because you used to know something. If you don't learn Torah on a daily basis, you'll lose it. Hashem says you leave Me for a day, I leave you for two. Not because Hashem is punishing you. is taking vengeance, but because the Torah is a moving target, if you're not growing with the Torah, you're shrinking. The Torah is moving forward with or without you; it's moving. If you're not going to learn this tonight, someone else will. It's constantly progressing. either you're going to be on the train or you're not going to be on the train. This means if you leave it today, it's going to continue moving. So by the time you figure it out, "Oh wait, I have to go back to Torah," you've missed it for a day. The Torah is already a day apart from you, meaning now it's a two-day difference. You went here and it went there; now you have to catch up, and it's much, much more difficult to do now.

39:12you leave it for three days, five days, a week, a month, the next thing you know, you become an am ha'aretz and you lost everything you knew. And this is why the video that we talked about is so scary. Because while the Arab terrorists know exactly what's going on, that this is the war of wood and stone, we're still here twiddling our thumbs trying to figure out, you know what, Can I really make it tonight to study for an hour? We're still trying to convince ourselves whether we're going to study Torah or not. They're already on the page of where Hashem is putting them, and we're still trying to figure out where we are. So b'ezrat Hashem, this wake-up call wakes up our neshama, gets us to start honoring the Torah like we're supposed to, and b'ezrat Hashem, get closer and closer to Hashem Yitbarach. Any questions? Baruch Adonai Le'olam, Amen v'Amen. get closer and closer to Hashem Yitbarach. Any questions? Baruch Hashem Le'olam, Amen v'Amen.
