Yom Kippur Important Message

0:00We are now here in our Yom Kippur campaign, coming to you again for help—not help like any other year, but rather more help than at any other time.

1:03have clothes. As you've seen over the last year, we've literally helped over 10,000 people have food and clothing in Eretz Yisrael. Much of the money is used to assist them. Unfortunately, this coronavirus continues to frighten people to an extreme degree. It has reached a point where Israel has been shut down again. Whether it's real or it's not real doesn't make a difference because the suffering is very much real. We realize that they shut down Israel again, and people are not going to have the ability to make any money whatsoever for at least the next month. This means they're not going to have food to eat for a month because they weren't living a luxurious life to the point where they had a few thousand dollars saved even. living a luxurious life to the point where they had a few thousand dollars saved, even. And that's why we've decided to already start our Sukkot campaign with the money we raised from Rosh Hashanah, and even more for other things. Why? Because there's simply a need. At Be'ezrat Hashem, we don't do what we want to do. We do what we need to do. Because the most important mitzvah in the Torah is the mitzvah that you have available in your hands today.

2:16And today, over 200 families reached out to us, crying and begging for food. What are we going to say? Listen, tough luck? That's not something that we do. So today, we sent out a bunch of money, over $65,000, that we haven't even raised yet. to help feed people, literally feed people. That's what it's for; it's not to buy them houses or anything else. Just so you know, for all the naysayers that like to see proof, let’s show you some receipts of money that was sent today. You could see, if you maybe enlarge the screen, you can see the date of the money that was sent today. These are some receipts from the supermarket that charged the card in order to help get some food together for some people. Small receipt for only about $300. Same market, had to make several transactions. Another one for 1,400. Of course, this is not just for one family; this is for many families. Another one for almost 3,000. Another one for a little over 5,000. We also have team members, tzaddikim, that are gathering the money in order to get the baskets together and feed a bunch of people. We have Rabbi Alimi. We sent him almost 65,000 shekels today. Rabbi Feigen, God bless him, got almost 100,000 shekels today to go and distribute it to two other teams, and more is coming. More help is needed.

3:36Get the baskets together and feed a bunch of people. We have Rabbi Alimi; we sent him almost 65,000 shekels today. Rabbi Fine, God bless him, got almost a hundred thousand shekels today to go and distribute it to two other teams. More is coming, and more help is needed. We're literally doing everything we possibly can. I wish we had 65 million. I wish we at least had 650,000, but we don't. What we have is what we sent. And the reality is, rabbotai, is that, yes, we need to help Am Yisrael do teshuva, but we also need to make sure that Am Yisrael survives. We need to make sure that Am Yisrael eats. So anyone out there who is looking for special segulot, special treatment in Heaven during this Yom Kippur, has to think, what does Hashem want? Does Hashem want you to spend that $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, $6,000, $10,000 to buy an aliyah so that maybe your shul will buy another chandelier, or maybe someone will buy another watch, or maybe acquire another fancy car? Or does Hashem want you to help Am Yisrael simply survive both spiritually and physically?

4:57The people who invested in our Rosh Hashanah campaign each received a special personalized video from myself and from Rabbi Ephraim with a blessing. And, Baruch Hashem, each and every one of them was ecstatic and pleasantly surprised by it. The same goes for all of the people who are going to help us today. Why? Because we need to inspire you to want to do this. By giving you something that you can't get anywhere else. By giving you encouragement to beat your yetzer hara and invest your money wisely into Am Yisrael. The key, rabotai, is to make sure that we understand that HaKadosh Baruch Hu loves His kids. He's going to feed His kids one way or the other. The question is, do we want to be the vessel? If we want HaKadosh Baruch Hu to give us more money, to give us more parnassah, we need to align our actions with His will. What should we do? Well, if one uses their parnassah, uses their hard-earned money to feed Hashem's children, how do you think Hashem is going to react? If one uses their hard-earned money to help Am Yisrael do teshuva and get closer to Hashem, how do you think Hashem is going to react? I'll give you a little secret. There's a verse in the Torah, in the book of Yirmiyahu, it says,

6:21If you bring someone who used to be a person who wasted seed, an immoral person, and make him a Baal Teshuva, your mouth will be like my mouth. Your prayers will be as if Hashem prayed. Who doesn't want that kind of mouth? Invest with us. Invest in Ta'am Yisrael. And one thing I can tell you is the Torah promises, the Torah promises that you will never lose. Tizku lemitzvot rabot.
