  Mizraki Inspiration sheer #17. Today we learn about a difficult
• 0:06
  concept in Jewish thinking. When there is Miss Sirat
• 0:10
  Nerfish, when there's a desire to give up one's life, to spur
• 0:13
  martyrdom, to sacrifice one's life, then miracles occur, says
• 0:18
  the Gomorrah. What's the difference about a
• 0:21
  former generation for whom miracles were performed in our
• 0:24
  generation which has no miracles?
• 0:27
  Legitimate question. So the Gmas says the first
• 0:31
  generations of Ami Isra merited miracles, later generation did
• 0:34
  not. My answers.
• 0:35
  The first generations were ready to sacrifice their lives for
• 0:38
  Hashem's name, and we're not that interested.
• 0:40
  We have a much more relaxed understanding of being Jewish.
• 0:44
  They were shown him were more accustomed to situations of
• 0:46
  martyrdom. In the same light, when there's
• 0:48
  a willingness to give up one's life for the state of Israel, as
• 0:52
  we have witnessed in our time, tragically then miracles
• 0:55
  occurred. So that's V He would remind his
• 0:59
  students the mitzvah of living in the land of Israel was not
• 1:01
  easily fulfilled, not on the personal level, not on the
• 1:05
  national level. Many things in life follow a
• 1:07
  course filled with difficulties. The growth of a kid into into
• 1:11
  adulthood is one example. The same path of grief applied
• 1:14
  to settling the land of Israel. So sashem to Avril Movinu.
• 1:18
  Get out of here. Let her come out to come in.
• 1:20
  All out to Cava Escalank. That took time and took
• 1:27
  struggles, and it wasn't easy for Avraham the rabbi tell us
• 1:30
  him to care about that. He was put through 10 different
• 1:33
  tests. I think if we look at the Tanak,
• 1:36
  look at the stories, never, never a time where anyone had it
• 1:40
  easy. Degamoah tells us that the land
• 1:44
  of Israel is acquired through his suffering.
• 1:46
  It's a terrible concept. Only after generations of your
• 1:50
  offspring will be strangers in the land, not their own
• 1:54
  frightening vision that Avraham had at night time.
• 1:58
  They had to understand that it wasn't just going to be come
• 2:00
  from Mesopotamia, get into Israel and then build a temple
• 2:03
  and it's all going to be great that there will be difficult
• 2:05
  times. Only then do we get the land of
• 2:08
  Israel. If Sviya Hadak Cook taught us to
• 2:12
  see this as the plan of Hashem told us to understand that
• 2:15
  Hashem's guiding hand lay behind those difficulties.
• 2:18
  The conflicts and wars, the setbacks we face are temporary,
• 2:23
  he taught. All steps backwards are
• 2:25
  transitory and passing just that.
• 2:27
  There are levels and everything. The levels of conquest advances
• 2:31
  sometimes come in hidden stages. Besetta Hamadriga quote from
• 2:36
  Shiva Shiva. But these are only temporary.
• 2:40
  One shouldn't be juvenile. One must look at the global
• 2:43
  upheaval involved in bringing us back to our land and recognize
• 2:45
  that a plan from Hashem is unfolding.
• 2:48
  When Hashem, Bashu Hashem and Shivat seal.
• 2:51
  When Hashem was bringing back. There's captives the Exiles of
• 2:54
  sea on and yet I know Cochon. It sounds like a dream because
• 2:58
  it sounds, well, a dream can be a positive dream.
• 3:00
  It could also be a nightmare because sometimes the journey
• 3:02
  home is difficult. Because of its staggering scale.
• 3:05
  The process naturally undergoes difficulties and problems.
• 3:09
  The greater thing is, the more complicated it is.
• 3:13
  The unfolding of our redemption is a historical event of
• 3:15
  colossal proportions. Anything which stands in the way
• 3:18
  of our March is back home is a brief delay.
• 3:24
  All of the disturbances are trivialities which have no
• 3:27
  substance in this sweeping process as rough cook.
• 3:30
  It's true that occasionally there are difficult trying
• 3:33
  situations, but we have to know that we can overcome them.
• 3:36
  The actions of the nations of the world or our own brothers
• 3:42
  and sisters who don't go and get this plan don't need to bother
• 3:45
  us. That does part of Hashem's plan
• 3:48
  to bring our people home. So to see everything through the
• 3:54
  lenses of Hashem's loving cat, to see the return of the Jews,
• 3:57
  part of the divine plan and the difficulties part of the divine
• 4:00
  plan. And for us to almost go through
• 4:03
  that process ourselves and that maturation process, that more
• 4:08
  adult way of understanding that life doesn't have to be life is
• 4:11
  not simple. The process won't be simple.
• 4:14
  It's not going to be one day we're here, the next day we're
• 4:16
  not. It's a gradual process that
• 4:18
  unfolds and that is the plan of Hashem.
• 4:22
  Have a very good day.
