Aish Kodesh - 10 (Mikeitz)

2:55 Avram Avinu already had. His terrible ma'isa that took place in Mitzrayim. He understands, on some level, that something is happening. Shalokh kafiyatava. It's a strange thing that this Egyptian viceroy wants for Binyamin to come And rather than saying, "I daven, I give you a bracha that this Ish Mitzri should not be able to do anything to you" He says, "I hope that he has mercy on you." It's a strange thing. Yaakov Avinu should give a bracha to his children that nothing is going to happen. He doesn't do that. He gives a bracha that Hakadosh Baruch Hu should have mercy. It's well known. I'm sure everyone here has heard this medrash before. That the words Kalshakai, which we translated before as God Almighty Actually means something much deeper. Shakal Shaka, who she amar la'olam dai She olmale amar dai hayu nimsachin v'holchan. When Hakadosh Baruch Hu created the world And we know that this is true scientifically as well.

4:08 That when the world was created, the world was in a state of expansion. The world exploded outwards. The Ramban already discusses this in Parashas Bereishis But the world, and even we have. Remnants of this today in creation, that the world continues to expand. But had Hakadosh Baruch Hu not come along to the world and said 'die' and said 'enough,' it would have expanded into oblivion. And so Hakadosh Baruch Hu, when we refer to Him as Kel Shachai, it's the attribute of Hakadosh Baruch Hu that tells the world to stop expanding, so that it can come into existence, as opposed to simply fading into oblivion. We have no idea. The Eish Kodesh teaches us we can't possibly imagine how the world came to be. These are things that are beyond human comprehension. You see a lot spoken about in Kabbalah what these things mean. The actual creation of the world in Kabbalah is a very sophisticated process.

5:15 Nevertheless, the Eish Kodesh says we have no idea what these things mean. But for us Meramez ki Hashem bara es haolam k'deishet skala malchusa yisbarach al yedei haolam. Just stop even before I translate what the Eish Kodesh said. I just want to highlight the beauty of the words 'avale inyanenu' for a moment. That by the great Chasidic masters, they were not trying to explain the deepest secrets of the universe. But they were trying to bring Torah to a place where it would be for us in our generation in our times What these things could mean for us. In Chabad Chassidus, you find very often that the Rebbe used to say a concept, and he would say, 'But if we can't bring it down into avodah, there's no point in learning the concept.' Le'enyanenu means for us in our time. What's the relevancy? What do these concepts mean?

6:15 So here he says. When Hakadosh Baruch Hu created the world There was a desire on the part of Hakadosh Baruch Hu to reveal Himself through the world. To be known, there are many ways of talking about why Hakadosh Baruch Hu created the world. He wanted to be a Meitav. He wanted to have a Dir B'Tachteinim. One of the ways of expressing the same concept—it's really the same mansion, just different doors. There's a desire that Hakadosh Baruch Hu has to be known; that His Malchus should be known in this world. On a very simple level, we can understand that because everyone wants to be known. What's the pain for us is not to be known. The pain for us is to participate in a relationship and to feel like we have to hide parts of ourselves because they won't be accepted. I was in a yichida in Jerusalem.

7:14 For Shabbos, a couple of months ago, the yichida belongs to a therapist. It was a female therapist in Yerushalayim. She's actually well known. I don't want to say her name. And so that's her office. But it doubles as a guest bedroom for couples when they're staying in Yerushalayim. So they had a refrigerator there, and it said on the refrigerator that you could tell a lot about a person by the magnets they have on their refrigerator. You know I'm talking about. When you get to have teenage daughters, your refrigerators will be full of pictures that they took at bat mitzvahs from the guy that prints the magnets. The magnet pictures. So I don't even have a front anymore. I just have pictures of my daughters posing in different, like with their cousins. Different pictures. This therapist had in this home all parts are welcome. Which was a very therapeutic thing to have. It's very like.

8:09 It's too deep for a refrigerator. Sometimes you just want to eat without having to wonder why you're eating. Right? These feelings don't have to be delicious. I could just be hungry, right? The so she had this. This all parts are welcome. What a beautiful sentiment. For a person to be able to show up in all of their glory with all of their imperfections and to be loved and respected not despite those imperfections, but because those imperfections make them beautiful. Hakadosh Baruch Hu, in a similar way, also wants to be known in our world. He wants to have a gilui of his malchus dafka through the world in a lower place. V'kiven Shem Bara es ha'olam she'is naheg besiva umesoviv v'derach ateva. Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants to come into this world Not in a spectacular, miraculous fashion. It's not what Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants. Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants His Malchus to be revealed in a world of cause and effect And through nature.

9:12 That's the way things operate in our world. We do something; it has an impact. There's a teva. There's a regularity to our world. There's a way that the world operates. We could talk about why Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants it to be that way. Because Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants the world to accept Him, not to overwhelm the world so that the world will lose its worldliness. Hakadosh Baruch Hu overwhelms the world with His presence, so there hasn't been a Giloi of His Malchus to something that's other than Him. There has to be space for the other to exist. And then the other needs to accept and bring Hakadosh Baruch Hu in, so to speak. In order to bring it back to a relationship It's it's It's uncomfortable when we are in a relationship with somebody whose presence is so large. That were dominated and overwhelmed by them.

10:05 It doesn't feel very safe. You might know them, because it's like almost they're shouting, "Hinei, pay attention to me. Here I am." It's very uncomfortable to be with a person like that. There has to be space for another to exist. There has to be space for us to feel safe and comfortable within our daladamos, within our boundaries, and then for another person within their boundaries to say, "Hinei." That's a very safe thing. If Hakadosh Baruch Hu is so big, if His presence is so vibrant and so bright Then the world won't feel like a world. It won't be a healthy relationship. To build for Hashem a dira b'tachtonim To have a giluy of His malchus means we get to be a world. We get to have teva. There's cause and effect. Things operate in the regular fashion. And so that's why the world is the way it is. This is what it means to be a world. That there's a seder. That there's lodging.

10:57 Hakadosh Baruch Hu is of course beyond logic. He's the creator of logic. We're coming off of the Yom Tov of Hanukkah. Hanukkah was the mistake that the Yevonim made when they said Hakadosh Baruch Hu needs to fit into our logic. Hakadosh Baruch Hu is the creator of logic. He's beyond logic. So to try to fit Hakadosh Baruch Hu into our box makes no sense. That's why kids today, when you tell them this is the reason why you do a mitzvah, they don't pay very much attention to that. They tell you, I want to know the reason why I'm doing the mitzvah, but it's not true. They don't want to know the reason for that particular mitzvah. They want to know why it's important to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. They want to know the larger thing. And when you explain the larger thing, it cannot fit into the realm of logic, and that's exactly what makes it great. That's a much more inspiring idea. You see, people will follow that idea because it makes sense to be a part of something larger.

11:45 So Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants the world to operate in a cause and effect derech ateva type of way. And here the Eish Kodesh says something brilliant. This is for Nachman Betsaleh. Lachen yesh lefamim shahuv dois l'msachin v'hochin misachin v'shayim ad shei Yeshua ba umachuso yisbarach m'sgala. He says that's why sometimes something is happening And the salvation, Yeshua, comes not immediately. It comes with a process. There's a cause. There's an effect. There's a derech ateva. It's like the world expanding. It's a process. It takes time. And the malchus of Hakadosh Baruch Hu is revealed not immediately. The malchus of Hakadosh Baruch Hu is revealed over time. So there's almost like a dramatic buildup. There was a problem. There was a potential solution. That solution didn't work. Al piter chateva. We went to a different solution. That solution didn't work. But that solution was able to bring in another solution. And then somehow we found ourselves at the end of the process. There was an unbelievable Yeshua. We see Hakadosh Baruch Hu's the Gilu of His Malchus. That's when the Yeshua came. Why? Because that's like the world. It's the world's process of expanding that reveals Hakadosh Baruch Hu's Malchus. Just like there is a process of expansion.

13:08 So too when it comes to Yeshua, when it comes to salvation, sometimes salvation takes time. Could be six months, could be a year, could be ten years, but eventually Yeshua comes. La Marshall Because Hashem erapi l'chayla when Hashem has to heal la'leinu a sick person. Misgala Yeshua so umachus so yisbarach al yideze. Avokivin shay Yeshua v'harifuah mislabeshes besiboyes l'chein ba yidei ezas ezasam yidei ezarofe v'tzarech harofe love of tzrichim lahaviyas asam v'hadaver nimtach v'halach. We'll get to that in a second. What happens? L'marshal, you have a sick child. We know that Hakadosh Baruch Hu is going to bring a Yeshua. And there will be a revelation of His Malchus. There will be a Yeshua. There will be a salvation. But Hakadosh Baruch Hu lives, so to speak, within our world. He wants His Malchus to be revealed here. It has to come from cause and effect.

14:19 So what's the cause? So there'll be there'll be a there'll be a medicine, right? There'll be a doctor And the doctor has to come and bring the medicine. It takes time for the process to unfold. And sometimes that happens. But sometimes lo alenu. The sakana is so bad that there's no time for the process to unfold. That things are immediate; it's a crisis situation. How is Hakadosh Baruch Hu's malchus going to be revealed in such a case? As Eimer Hakadosh Baruch Hu, dai la hamsi'cha va hamshacha. Enough. There's no more expansion. There's no more unfolding of the process. Sometimes the Yeshua comes in an unfolding way, in an expansive way. And sometimes, Hakadosh Baruch Hu says to the unfolding process, "Enough." Raktechav umiyad Yeshua umachus shamayim iskal. The Yeshua needs to come immediately. It needs to come shaloy al darcha teva without any cause and effect. It needs the entire system to be jumped.

15:33 V'cheinu kam b'sha Yeshuas k'chein Yisrael yechol in lamud b'tzarosayhim. Ad sheze yichbos v'zeinatzeach emer Hakadosh Baruch Hu dail lahamsicha umiyad Yeshua. So Hakadosh Baruch Hu. The h Kodesh says Sometimes the process has to unfold. This is what he's telling them in 1939. It's still the beginning of the war. He said sometimes the process has to unfold, just like by that doctor. And sometimes it has to be that we have to see: is this nation going to win? Is that nation going to win? And of course, we always know that the Jews somehow get caught in the crosshairs. Every fight that ends up—it doesn't matter where it is—somehow Yidden are caught in the crosshairs. And sometimes we have to see which side it is going to be. Is it going to be the Czar? Is it going to be Napoleon? Is it going to be the Turks? We always have to see how it's going to play out.

16:24 But he says sometimes it's too much. Sometimes it's too much. The if Hakadosh Baruch Hu doesn't send the Yeshua Kehirvayin, if he doesn't send Techa for Miad, if it doesn't come in a miraculous way, if it doesn't come. Immediately if it doesn't come beyond the realm of cause and effect So then it's not shaykh. Hakadosh Baruch Hu will lose us chas v'shalom. There won't be a gilui of His malchus in this world. I'll share with you a meisha. Share with you the meisah of my brother and the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Share with you a crazy meisah. My little brother was dying. Mom is dying. When he was in second grade He had asthma, and he developed whooping cough. Then one of his lungs collapsed, and the other lung collapsed. Then he had pneumonia. It got to the point where if he would laugh He wouldn't be able to catch his breath And he would have to be rushed to the hospital. He would be so sick. It was a terrible thing.

17:34 I remember once. We took him to a movie. I was little, in fifth grade. Family went to a movie. And it was a funny movie. And my brother started laughing, and he had to be rushed to the hospital from the movie. We couldn't take him to a comedy. He was too dangerous for him. And my parents took him to specialists all over New York. Like everywhere. He saw every doctor. I was like, and my mother was young. Looking back on it, I was like thinking, how old was my mother when this happened? My brother was in second grade, so he was eight years old. So my mother was in her late twenties when this happened. Think about a woman in her late twenties And my father was in his early thirties. And mom was rushing him from place to place And it was so bad that the doctors were taping his cough because nobody could figure out what was wrong with him. It was like a medical case to study.

18:29 My mother became frum through three different organizations. Through something called YU seminar I don't know if any of you heard a YU seminar. It was a precursor to NCSY. NCSY And also through Lubavitch and Chabad. But for whatever reasons, in the end, my mother decided not to become Chabad. But her older cousin, who she respected and admired and looked up to, was a person who set her on her journey. He was Chabad And he called my mother up one Sunday. And he said to my mother "Would you mind if I went to the Rebbe for a bracha for a fu shalema?" For now he's Avi, but back then he was John. And my mother said, "No, of course not." And we used to go to Crown Heights for Shabbos. It wasn't like Chas Sholom had a bad relationship with Chabad. It was just my mother didn't become Chabad, but I think we had a tremendous affection for the community. And I saw the Rebbe when I was growing up. When I was little, I went to Fabregas. It was a very special thing.

19:32 And. My cousin Avram waited online for dollars on Sunday. He waited many, many, many hours. And he finally got to the Rebbe. And my cousin said, "I need a bracha for a full shalima for Avram Yehuda ben Perel Zlata." And the Rebbe said to my cousin Tell the father I know that he checked his mezuzas but he should check his tefillin. So my cousin Avram was fairly astounded. Took the dollar. We have that dollar, by the way, and a picture of that day. There was a picture that was taken of my cousin Avram and the Rebbe. It's hanging in my brother's house today. Spoiler alert: he survived. I shouldn't have said that. And Avram called my father, and he said You checked your mezuzas? So he goes, "Yeah, I just checked them this week." So he's not going to believe it. The Rebbe said he knew you checked your mezuzas, but you didn't check your tefillin.

20:25 So my father was still in the process. He was Orthodox, but he wasn't necessarily putting on tefillin every day. My parents were both balei tshuva. So my father went and got his tefillin checked, and they were not kosher. He grew up conservative, so he didn't have a kosher pair of tefillin. So he went to Seifer and Farakway that day. And he said, "How much does it cost me for a pair of tefillin?" Seifer said, "Like a thousand bucks." So my father said, "If I'm already spending a thousand dollars, I'm going to be capable on myself to put on tefillin every single day," and he has not missed a day of tefillin since. That week, punct that week. My brother was coughing, and he was really losing his breath. And there was a woman in the house, my mother's very close friend at the time, a woman whose name was Michal. And Michal said to my mother, "a new doctor just moved into the neighborhood."

21:10 A new doctor. It wasn't a specialist. He wasn't a mumcha. He was just a new pediatrician in the neighborhood. And she said, "I'm sending my kids to this doctor now. He's a good doctor." Maybe let's just bring him over there instead of going to the regular doctor that you've been going to. Let's bring him to this doctor. So they threw my brother in the car. They ran to the doctor. He was only a couple blocks away. He came out. He got him on oxygen. He started him breathing. And he had his charts sent over. And remember, everybody had seen these charts. And this doctor, Dr. Lightman, who's still a big doctor in Farakway today. Some of you may know Dr. Gross. You know Dr. Gross from Leumi. She studied under Dr. Lightman. Doctor Leitman took one look at his charts. He said to my mother, "It says here he's allergic to penicillin."

21:57 So my mother said, 'Yeah, he's allergic to penicillin.' He said, "But the medicine he's on has traces of penicillin in it." They were giving him the medicine that he was allergic to. And every time he would get more sick They would increase the dosage. The medicine was making killing my brother, and nobody caught it. And they put my brother, Baruch Hashem, on massive amounts of steroids. They took him off that medicine. Come on today, Baruch Hashem. Married, children, living in Nirya. Raising a beautiful family with a picture of the Rebbe giving that bracha to Avram on that day. Sometimes, when you're mamish at the end A kolos shbarhu has to send the Yeshua in a way that's shalouk k'darchatav. A stam doctor was able to figure out what none of the mumchem were able to figure out. It had to come in a zah way. It could be that over time it would have unfolded. That maybe a different doctor would have seen it in the course of a regular thing. It had to come in that way because otherwise it was going to be over.

22:52 If there is going to be a revelation of Hakadosh Baruch Hu's Malchus, sometimes when we're mamish at the very end, it has to come shaloked darchateva. Mitzchila ala b'machshava Livra es ha'olam b'midas hadin. Rav v'hikdim midas harachim v'shitva. We all know Rashi says that. When Hakadosh Baruch Hu created the world, originally He was going to create the world with Midas Adin Strict justice. And then He saw that the world was not going to be mekuyim that way; the world could not survive with strict justice. So Hakadosh Baruch Hu, before Midas Adin, He created Midas Arachim, and Veshutva. He made a shutva. He made a partnership between Midas Adin and Midas Arachim. So the Rebbe asks,"V'lama oid hikdim? V'haya dai l'shotva b'avad? K'shaloy is kaim b'le arachim? So the Rebbe asks a brilliant kasha. He said, "Why did Hakadosh Baruch Hu need to make it that the midas harachemim comes before the midas adin?"

23:53 It should have been enough. Hakadosh Baruch Hu should have looked at midas adin. Said the world cannot be mekuyim this way. The world cannot survive with just midas adin. So let me make a shutvas. Midas harachemim, midas adin. It's not what Rashi says. That the Midas Harachemim needs to come first And there needs to be a shutvas. Why does it have to come first if there's a shutvas? Shutfus should have been enough. So Guri says, beautiful answer. This is the main thing. There are times in our world where a shutfus between midas hadin and midas arachimim will not be enough. There are times when if the midas hadin and the midas arachimim are operating as a shutfus, they are operating as a partnership. And something terrible is happening And now there's an expansion of the world. There's a process that's unfolding. It's not okay. That's not okay, because the Yeshua needs to come sooner.

24:55 It needs to come faster. In a certain way, even though the Ish Kodesh is speaking to this chevra in Warsaw in 1939 He's speaking in a certain way. You can almost hear him speaking to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. And he's not just giving hope But he's saying something more than that. He's speaking about a way. This is why I think so. That the Hachodesh was teaching them a way of speaking to Hakadosh Baruch Hu. We have to be sometimes demanding. We have to have the Azas the Kedusha that R' Kook writes about so much, that holy chutzpah that a Jew has to have to come to Hakadosh Baruch Hu and demand salvation. That he was telling them in 1939, and I believe the Eish Kodesh was speaking to us in 2022 as well. That there are times in our lives where the process is unfolding, and it's okay.

25:55 Hamtein, a person needs to have patience, wait and see how the process unfolds. Let's see what happens. And there are times that a person needs to come to the Rebbeinu Sholem and say, No more. There's no more holding on. There's no more patience. There's no more waiting. The Yeshua needs to come right now. And Al Kol Dosh Baruch Hu, you were makdim midas arachemim to midas adam, because in such a case, a Yeshua cannot come unfolding; the arachemim needs to come first. And now to tie this back to our original question: So, what did Yaakov Avinu say? Going back to our original question, Yaakov Avinu is sitting with Yehuda And he's saying to him, 'This Mitzri should have mercy on you. This Mitzri should do nothing to you.' Yaakov Avinu had the capacity. They say the Alter Rebbe when he was in jail by the Labavichers if the Alter Rebbe wanted to take himself out of jail he could have taken himself out of jail in a heartbeat but he wanted it to come in Hakadosh Baruch Hu's way tzaddikim they have certain powers that we can't possibly understand. There's no doubt that if Yaakov Avinu would have said this Mitzri should be able to do nothing to you he wouldn't have been able to do anything.

27:04 So why does he say you should have mercy on you? Look what he says beautiful such a Such a world view for us to have. He knew somehow something was unfolding Something was happening And it was going to be through this ish who, at the time, he thought was an ish mitzri. The Yeshua was coming through him. That's how it's happening through him. It's too strange a story. The whole time you see by Yaakov Avinu, I'm saying the Eish Kodesh doesn't say, but it's for sure he had these pesukim open in front of him. That Yosef Hatzadik has a dream, and that Yaakov Vino was upset at him for having that dream. Let's see how it plays out. And that they come to him and they say to him, 'The Ksainus Passim is this? Is this Yosef Hatzadik's Ksainus Passim that's covered in blood?' Yaakov Vino knew what the Ksainus Passim was. Yaakov Vino knew the Ksainus Passim had tremendous koyches. It was the same Ksainus Passim that Nimrod wore. The only person ever to be able to defeat Nimrod wearing that Ksainus Passim was Esav.

28:06 And Esav was only able to do it because he had as much capacity in the kairos and toma as Nimrod had, and it could very well be that ksinas pasim was the same ksinas pasim that the kaddish baruch who made for other marisham when he was going out into the world. It could be that it was that same ksinas pasim according to certain midrashim. Yaakov Avinu certainly thought that it was possible that Yosef HaTzaddik was alive. He had it somewhere in his head. And we know that's true because a person naturally is able to move on from their mourning. Sometimes it takes a shiva, a shloshim, a year, five years. But at some point, the person is able to move on naturally. The only reason a person is not able to move on is if somewhere in the recesses of their heart, they say "Maybe Maybe there's still a chance.

28:54 I was once talking to a woman whose father had passed away when she was a teenager. She told me that. She was walking down the street. And she saw a man who looked exactly like her father. And she turned to say to him, "Abba." And she said, "In the moment that she turned to say to him, Abba" She thought What a crazy trick that would be If for some reason my father needed to fake his own death and to hide from me all of these years. But in this split second, she told me. I was ready to forgive him for everything, if only I could be back with him. And then, as she went to say Abba, she saw that it was somebody who looked very much like her father, but it wasn't him. But she had moved on. You see, there's an element of us that holds on.

29:51 But if a person holds on for so long, it's like why are you holding on? Yaakov Avinu must have known about himself that he was holding on for so long. We know Yaakov Avinu didn't have nevuah in this time. And for Yaakovina, we can't imagine what that must have been like to have such pain—not only the pain of losing his son, not only the pain of losing his wife. But to be disconnected from Hakadosh Baruch Hu. What it must be like for a person to receive nevuah from Hakadosh Baruch Hu to know what Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants. And a strange thing—and now his children go down to Mitzrayim, and they come back, and they have to bring Binyamin, and Shimon's in jail. He knows something is happening. It's possible that he knows something is happening, and he sees this Ish Mitzri is going to be right there. He's going to be the one that Yeshua comes through. He says, "I know even shehi gui o hatzaras ad biltinaso amar vekelshak aitein lechem rachem lifnei hash eid kaidem sheirachim hash."

30:44 He's saying, 'I know that Yeshua is going to come through this mitzri, but I hope it comes beforehand.' I hope it's not a process that has to unfold. I know. I hope it's not something that has to take years. I hope that the kedima of the rachemim before the din should come, so that should come immediately. So there should come shalowah that shalowah darchateva that Hakadosh Baruch Hu's machuz should not need to be revealed over time, but it should come through kel shakai Enough of the unfolding process. It should come immediately. Yirachem Hashem v'yoshiachit. Hakadosh Baruch Hu should bring a Yeshua immediately. La'chein amr v'kel shakai. So that's why he calls upon God Almighty. Misha amr la'elamayday. That one. That attribute of Hakadosh Baruch Hu that says no more expansion, there should be no more unfolding of the process, but the Yeshua should come immediately.

31:37 And we see that the big tadikim have this beautiful midah that they demand from Hakadosh Baruch Hu that the Mashiach should come teicha from miad tavor to Yeshua. How many times did we hear from the Lubavitcher Rebbe that the Mashiach should come teicha from miad mamish? That there's an element of us coming to Hakadosh Baruch Hu and saying we cannot stand this anymore, we cannot live like this anymore. But the Yeshua should come techa from miad mamish, and it's up to us to demand that Hakadosh Baruch Hu brings the Yeshua. And even though Baruch Hashem we're not living in the 1930s and the 1940s where the Yeshua needed to come immediately in order to mamish save Klal Yisrael, we're also living in a time where it's Baruch Hashem not that time, but also a time of the very painful process of Ekhves of the Mashiach.

32:25 And we also see Meshugana things happening in the world today. Again, not I don't want to keep harping on this because it's not our Asak But the continued anti-Semitism. Yesterday, from Whoopi Goldberg Another Holocaust. The Holocaust is white on white crime, and it has nothing to do with the fact that we were Jews. A whole zakh, and then she says, "Really, I'm Jewish. That's why my name is Goldberg. Really, I'm Jewish." If we came and said these things, they would call it cultural appropriation. But everybody's allowed to say, 'Today I'm Jewish. Today I'm Jewish.' We've been holding on for thousands of years. They're coming. Their mamash is taking everything from us. They're taking Jewish pride and they're trampling it in the streets. And we also need Yeshua. We also need Mashiach. We can't wait anymore. And we don't want to see this process unfolding anymore. And even though we see anybody who has any eyes in their head.

33:18 Sees the process unfolding. We daven that Hakadosh Baruch Hu should return our eyes so that we could be able to see the process of Mashiach unfolding, which is surely happening. Just look around. We're in the VeShamir. I couldn't get a parking spot, that's why I'm a little late. I have to park now two blocks away because Baruch Hashem, we don't just build homes, but Yidden are coming and filling up the homes, and Baruch Hashem, American Yidden with cars are coming and filling up the homes. I can't get parking spots anymore. So certainly we see the unfolding of the process of Mashiach, but we are also tired of the unfolding of this process. We want no more of this pain, and we demand in a holy and appropriate way from Hakadosh Baruch Hu that He should bring Mashiach. He should bring the Yeshua Techo from beyond Manisch.
