מצוה ששילם עליה 3 מיליון דולר זה עדיין זול/הכנה לחנוכה/רב דניאל בניזרי

Kind: captions Language: en With the help of God, may God bless you, exactly one more week, next Sunday, with divine assistance, in our favor and blessing, Hanukkah Day, Hanukkah on Sunday night, next Sunday, and maybe we'll start this week a little bit about Hanukkah. It's a tremendous light. It's worth taking advantage of these eight days. I say, in a preface, in a preface, there's something here in the parasha that we read on Shabbat. There's something tremendous, tremendous, that the Midrash says. So first of all, before we go to the Midrash that talks about, that talks about Hanukkah, and it's related to the little jars that our father Jacob repeated. So first of all, a question. A. We need to understand. We need to understand. Our father Jacob, may his name be praised. He was a great, great man. When he returned from Haran after 20 years, he returned rich. He went from a poor house because Eliphaz took everything for him because he was poor. Now he's as good as dead. In order to fulfill the commandment of his father, who told him to kill him. So, the best thing was that he had a reverence for Jacob, who would teach him Torah. So that's why he told him to take everything, so I'm considered dead. So he said, "With my staff, I crossed this Jordan." With my staff, I crossed this Jordan. I mean, I was very poor. A poor man walks with only a stick. Oh and you became a big rich man in two camps. Let's try to understand the offering he brought to Esau. This translation says Mincha Takrobta. A close friend will answer something small like saying last water. What is the last water? The last waters of the as if of the last concealment. Something like that, something small. And what is this little thing? Let's do the math. So once upon a time, really many years ago, many years ago, the branch, the Mechantil branch, was in the Shabbat Square, right in the Shabbat Square [laughter] Today it closed, and then I had it. I used to study in a kollel, really close, really close to the Shabbat Square. And then I went to the branch, let's say about 30 years ago, about plus or minus 28. I went to Eshit. Someone, the deputy director, calls me and says, I have a minute. The deputy director, what a minute, even two minutes, if it's something interesting, come on, let's see what he can do. In the end, he wants to tell me some Torah verses. We were talking about Parashat Ya'akov and Eshit. He tells me how much, how much it costs, how much it's worth. Everything that Yaakov sent to Eshit. Let's do the math. He tells me, well, it's related to the fact that he raises cattle with Gaza. 200 is 200 camels. This and that came out to him. So, 580. So, he came out to 2 million shekels. Okay, and today, according to today's report, I say, I have no doubt that it's at least 5 million shekels. At least, at least 5 million shekels. I mean, just this one, this little thing, we're talking about 5 million shekels. Jacob sent Esau, okay? And when he comes to cross the Jabbok, he takes all the flocks, the female slaves, the slaves, everything, everything, the family, the women there, and in the end, what's left? Small cans he returns. The Midrash says that in order to guard the flocks in their time, they would bring dogs. Dogs. How many dogs did our father Jacob, peace be upon him, have to guard only his flocks? We will understand what size of wealth it is. 600,000 600,000 dogs to guard the meadows. So I'm not telling you the millions of animals, millions of slaves, and you forgot the small jars. Send some slave. Send some slave. Tell him, please, go and bring me what he wants. And more. Jacob alone, and Jacob hugged each of his people until dawn, and he cried because he couldn't do it, and he rubbed his thigh with his palm. Why does he have to stay alone? What happened to the small jars? And now Hanukkah has entered. How did Hanukkah enter? The Midrash says, "The Holy One, blessed be He, said to Jacob, ' You returned to the small jars.' So you smiled, 'I am performing a miracle for the Maccabees for the people of Israel during the time of Antiochus. And they found a small jar. A small jar. Right. That's exactly what we say in the song. You know the interpretations. And from the jars left behind, a miracle was done for the roses. Yes, that's the song. What is the meaning of the jars? From what was left behind from the jars of our father Jacob, a miracle was done for the roses. He answered the Maccabees as if it were a miracle. And we found the jar and everything that was there was beautiful. So the question is, what is the point of this jar? And the Holy One, blessed be He, is so very much amazed at Jacob. Our Father, that which is in His name will be a miracle on Hanukkah, as is known, as is known, that all the holy books say that the hidden light is revealed in the light of Hanukkah, the hidden light, and why is the hidden light in the light of Hanukkah, because we have 36 candles, right? As if without the sun, with the sun, it comes out to be 44. Eight days without the sun is 36. What is the 36? So I say, the Sages say that in the hidden light that was in the act of creation, the Holy One, blessed be He, created it for the first Adam, who could see from the end of the world to its end, etc. But after the sin, He saw that this light was not good for the wicked. He wanted to hide it after the sin, but in honor of the Sabbath, because he sinned on Friday at noon, so in honor of the Sabbath, He left it, so it comes out that 12 hours of Friday plus 24 of Saturday together are 36 hours, so 36 hours are equal to the 36 Hanukkah candles that we light, so in the beginning, God will be glorified, etc. And the earth was holy, and darkness was according to the word of God, etc. And at the moment when it is written in the first people, and there was light and light, this is the meaning The hidden light is written like this, this is the hidden light that was revealed in the act of Genesis and there was light, so this light is revealed on Hanukkah, so what about these little jars that our forefather Jacob repeats about this, you establish a Hanukkah leaf and you reveal to me the hidden light. What is in these little jars? What is happening here? Yes, what is the point? So in the divine assistance I say that the whole point here is what is it? This is the matter of the little thing. The little thing. What does the little thing mean ? The little thing that a person usually underestimates. I will give a huge example. A huge example. We had 40 ambushes, four kings, right, King David, we would have done, Jehoshaphat and Hezekiah, King of Judah. And the sages bring him as an example that everyone acted differently. King David is the only one who said, " I will pursue them and repel them and I will not return their testimony." And it is known that he acted differently, saying, "I will go to war, but you will do the war." I will only go in a line of effort. She sat down and said, "I pray, but you do everything." Hezekiah, King of Judah, what is the meaning of "I go"? Sleep nothing but the king's uncle was the only one who said I will pursue his enemy and kill him I do everything and yet he keeps saying I did nothing and why does the Holy Zohar say why because he was completely 100% clean of all of these commandments that a man tramples on his heels that a man tramples on his heels these little ones all these little ones were clean so the Holy Zohar says he had no grip no grip from the outside so they couldn't touch him and so that's why he was successful in wars no one could and so he was literally one blow he would kill 1000 another blow another 1000 that's how it was in war they just say that after Adam the head sinned the daughter of Sheba sinned as if according to his rank yes because the Gemara says he didn't sin it is forbidden to say that the king sinned but according to his rank then he lowered to 800 800 every mikvah he would lower in war why because of this that even the little things he was careful about that is why the angels didn't open it there not that's why they say Rabbi Moshe Panshtani peace be upon him What does it mean I'm going to sleep? It means I'm praying. It's because everyone acted according to their rank. And what does it mean if they did more than what they did, they would think that they won. So in order not to reach a situation where you think you won. So then the man was defeated. So these kings advised him. He said, "Mr., the maximum effort I can make without thinking that I won is prayer." So I know that the Holy One, blessed be He, did everything. The second says, "No, I can go to war, but the Holy One, blessed be He, will fight for us. He will fight the war for us." I know that it's Him. It's not me. The third says, "If I pray, I'll say, by the virtue of my prayer, if I go, I'll say, by the virtue of my going. I'm going to sleep. The Holy One, blessed be He, will do so." You understand, this is the goal. This is the goal. So that a person doesn't get to say, "I won." And that's the matter of the little things. The little things. It means that by the virtue of being aware that a small thing can be a huge thing. And so the Holy One, blessed be He, can bring down even the hidden light like the matter of Hanukkah. It's the little things. It's something miraculous. And I really told you about this. What a real story that happened in the United States was something miraculous. One named he was famous, peace be upon him David Rosembloom David Rosembloom and he really grew up he was born in Poland he grew up in Poland before World War II he got married very young but what the Germans invaded and their memory in Poland they took his whole family also his young wife they took everyone they perished God bless their blood they perished there and in short he was left alone without any family nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing . And after five years of the war, in 1945 when the war ended, he went to the United States. He said that before the war he weighed 90 kilos. After the war he weighed 36 kilos. 36 kilos. Tell me what it was about? So good. So he had the opportunity to go stop the alliance. He went but he had no family. Well he had a good family. They took him to their home. So he lived there a they found him some good and beautiful job until Friday is known at that time in that time most of them worked on Saturday from those who would not agree to work on Saturday crumbled so he worked until Friday he said to the factory owner Shabbat Shalom see you on Sunday tells him what it is see you on Sunday you have to work on Shabbat tells him no I don't work in short so he says if you go you're a good wreck so he went really went he was fired and that's how it was hard to find until he found one factory fear the sky one fear the sky he was he was a mattress repairer mattresses was a repairer her name so he studied it really mix studied properly and found Baruch Hashem matchmaking matchmaking his wife named Sarah Baruch Hashem we married A Baruch Hashem with great joy so he was working in the factory suddenly his wife says to him I think you should work for yourself open open your own because you work well you have a good profession he opened the first week not even one client came in not one client nothing suddenly in the second week one came in with three mattresses he fixed it for him what does it look new he got excited made him an advertisement in short he started working ssssg his wife told him open a factory open a factory of mattresses it's called it's called I do n't know if it still exists today I remember I remember at the time it was called Paradise Mattresses a Paradise Paradise this is it this is his so then he then he heard his wife opened the factory Sigseg what it was he had some 40 branches millionaire millionaire thing like that may his name be praised 10 children were born to him with Sarah thank God he married them all with great respect in abundance in this thank God grandchildren great grandchildren reached the age of 80 plus about had a medical problem well they went to the doctor the doctor said no what I can't do anything his wife said no maybe there is one doctor if we bring him from Germany maybe maybe maybe good we bring him but the doctor says it costs expensive how much 400 450,000 dollars 450 I don't care money bring the doctor bring the doctor she is not with you bring the doctor a doctor comes and checks him tests after tests says too late what too late maybe ta ta ta ta in the end maybe there is one chance because there is some experimental cover experimental cover we can try but how much will it cost to organize the whole team de tahta 3l A million dollars 3 million dollars and how much maybe maybe maybe 50% success well then as I remember the question came here to Rabbi Elyashiv Rabbi Elyashiv Rabbi Elyashiv came a question what did Rabbi Elyashiv say what is saving a life come on don't hesitate do it save a life there is 50% to save a life tsz good bring it they paid three million dollars bring the whole team nine hours surgery may his name be praised he started to recover like this the eldest son came in to visit dad how are you and he does tell him I put on tefillin today I want tefillin. well, he went I'll bring him tefillin. he put on tefillin shema israel put his head there, passed away. passed away . yes. wonder of wonders. that's how the story was true. now they didn't understand what you know? you know it many times you tell the doctor the surgery was successful but the dreamer but it opened up like this after he put on tefillin and shema israel. well, they went to Rabbi Elyashiv, asked him, do you know what he answered them? it was something flabby, I remember the story This. You answered it cost you cheaply cheaply you paid three million dollars for tefillin and calling on her name. Do you think it's nothing? It cost you cheaply. That's what he said. That's what he said. You know little things like that Rabbi Elyashiv that he knew the entire Torah straight and through yes he can tell you that you know if you paid three million dollars to put on tefillin one tefillin with a little bit of her name it cost you cheaply it cost you cheaply because you you don't know what the value of the mitzvah is and who is left jars a miracle is made for the little jars meaning the small deeds according to the hint yes according to the hint the small deeds are what her name is what saves you and that's what makes you a great man a great man is not made of big things he is made of small things and I say like I said about King David that even even the mitzvot that a man trod on the Aqaba and he would have been crowned with them therefore he would have won everything therefore he abstained alone and because he couldn't him why he couldn't him he didn't even find a beginning he didn't even find a single mitzvah that he despises by leaving nothing he found nothing. I say Through the Amez, he found nothing for him. Since he found nothing for him, then he had to come through the Akivin path and touch the palm of his thigh and limp. He was limping. What is meant by the palm of his thigh? The Zohar says, "Prepare religion, prepare Torah." The intention is that he comes indirectly, causing him a problem with his livelihood, causing him a problem here at home, with his children, with the peace of the house. That's how he interferes with the wise scholar around him. But with the Torah, he can't. He can't because the Torah is the highest. Until a person who is careful about all the little things says, "Nothing is impossible for him, nothing can be done He would not have passed on them. He would not have passed on he was and I think it is related it is related what is written the Ramban brings this. The Ramban brings that the decree is true and diligence is false. What does it mean? What does it mean? I will tell you. The decree is true. What happens to a person every day is faith if you remember we talked about it last week that faith confidence is stronger than all the promises also the promises of our father Jacob he said what will cause sin is fear over them but faith confidence no problem it is higher we said it is higher than the virtues it is higher than everything it is faith and confidence right so what is the decree everything that happens to a person is true about what is diligence is false this the Ramban brings bring it diligence is the effort because a person why does a person disregard the small commandments a child now needs you what are you looking at the clock I have a meeting now with the with the director where is it and this is I need to close some deal right a deal backfired so what does he do so he says no no I don't have time he runs away a child wants to cross the road all Little things like that at home now his wife asks him don't drive me crazy now it's not nice how he talks like that why because because you you don't think these are little things why because you're supposedly going to do big things says the Ramban diligence is a lie diligence is a lie everything you're going to do this is in terms of diligence it's in terms of effort diligence is a lie this is the truth what is the truth the decree is true if it comes your way if you come to your words something is the truth all the minister is a lie you understand this is the point of these little cans and so and so Rabbi Elyashiv said this it went I loved the answer I remember it was a answer you drank it made a big fuss you know this answer this it cost you cheap and so and so there was a he was some some one I remember it was he came now to do a minyan for his father's funeral and I remember I was at the Shabbat minyan I came to help him why not what I don't have blood I don't know if this guy is here and but a Jew looks like a good Jew why not help him want to do a funeral for his father I was just there I said there was one on thorns I told him what happened help him what tells me I have a meeting with the bank manager the bank manager Meeting tells me I told him what is poor what is good Jew what will not lose I told him and I return you will not lose you will not lose I tell him and it is good so by force in this inquiry by force so he agreed he agreed he stayed and so on and so on in the end in the end he arrived he arrived he arrived at the meeting and it is over he tells me I told him don't worry don I told him worry you will arrive on time everything will be safe he arrived who was the manager the one who did what I ordered is this you wow you paid me you paid the minyan and this is come oh closed the whole story for him closed the whole story for him thanks to this and then he told me this tell me how much is understanding the little things this is the decree truth and diligence lie you told this is the point efforts this is then the truth is God will bless us amen and amen
