• 0:00
  You're not for a couple of minutes.
• 0:05
  It's maybe tomorrow afternoon or Kippur afternoon.
• 0:10
  We we read you're not right. I mean, after the 3rd Aliyah,
• 0:18
  Isaiah, we do, we do in Baja, which is unique us and we read
• 0:23
  the book of you. Now those answers question is
• 0:30
  like this. It's a very it's we read a full
• 0:32
  it's the longest after that we ever read.
• 0:34
  We read an entire book. It's a small book with an entire
• 0:38
  book of Navi part of today. I saw the entire story from
• 0:42
  start to finish. Question is why do you go
• 0:46
  through the whole thing Now? The reason is the reason why
• 0:47
  officially reason you do you're not is because at the end of the
• 0:50
  story, this man, a Jewish prophet, was told to go make a
• 0:54
  country or a city due to Shiva, ends over the city during
• 0:58
  repenting for the bad ways. And so answer to Shiva.
• 1:01
  Good issue is why do we have to go to the entire story to get to
• 1:07
  that point? It probably you start with this,
• 1:10
  you're not after the whole story, which we'll explain in
• 1:13
  the second what happened. He met the king, he told the
• 1:18
  people of Niveir due to Shiva and they repented.
• 1:21
  It's odd, but we have to go through the whole story #1 #2
• 1:23
  even at the most difficult question. 2A very strong
• 1:26
  question is who were these people of Ninvet?
• 1:30
  They were non Jewish. Why is there a relevant thing
• 1:33
  for us to talk about non Jews doing to Shiva?
• 1:36
  The reality is that Prashna is a day for the whole world, not
• 1:40
  just Jews. I don't know about Kippur.
• 1:42
  I'm assuming it is also, but still, why do we need to talk
• 1:46
  about that on Kippur to Shiva non Jews?
• 1:48
  How does it relate to us? It does it relate to us?
• 1:52
  So here's the theme as a deeper theme.
• 1:53
  What's the story of your Nana? You read it tomorrow and you
• 1:56
  hear his stories. And there was a Jewish prophet
• 1:59
  who was told by Hashem to go on this mission, to go and talk to
• 2:04
  these people, to get him to, to shoot out.
• 2:06
  He didn't want to do so. He didn't want him.
• 2:08
  And he tried to run away. He ran onto the boat to run
• 2:10
  away. And then on that boat, the
• 2:13
  warders got rocky. And the people were wondering,
• 2:16
  why is it rocky? And they asked him to break out
• 2:18
  Hashem because he knew he was Jewish.
• 2:20
  And they eventually drew lots and they realize it's all him.
• 2:24
  He's the cause. And they asked him, what's your
• 2:27
  story? What do you do?
• 2:28
  He says I'm a Jew. And he said he's OK.
• 2:31
  He says the only way it's going to stop is if you get rid of me.
• 2:33
  And they told God you for him. We don't feel good about this.
• 2:36
  We don't want to do this. Told al Hashem and they threw
• 2:40
  him overboard. He goes into the water.
• 2:42
  He's in the sea. He's supposed to die.
• 2:45
  And he's swallowed up by the dog.
• 2:47
  He's swallowed by the fish. All right.
• 2:49
  This is the story of your now real a whale, a huge fish.
• 2:52
  He's in this huge fish. Wasn't a regular whale.
• 2:55
  I didn't say whale. He was in this huge wish for
• 2:57
  three days. He was there for three days.
• 2:59
  On day #3 is all in the pistol game.
• 3:02
  On day #3 he begins to pray to Hashem and says, I have your
• 3:07
  mission. I have to send your message.
• 3:09
  And then what? Do you do?
• 3:11
  Three days now we look at him, if I Hashem, which I looked at
• 3:14
  over there, all the regular simple ones that are dark and
• 3:16
  others like we, they all say it's not physically possible to
• 3:19
  live inside a fish for three days.
• 3:21
  It was already a miracle. Which means according to Teva,
• 3:25
  according to nature, he died. And this is in a sense he didn't
• 3:29
  actually die, but naturally would have died.
• 3:31
  And in a sense this is a man starting anew.
• 3:35
  OK, this is what it says. He says, God, I got your
• 3:38
  message, I'm going to do my mission.
• 3:39
  He gets out again. There's different ways of
• 3:43
  reading the farshim. Some say that the fish brought
• 3:46
  him a few 1000 miles, maybe 100 thousands of miles to see to the
• 3:51
  shore. There's no crazy amount of
• 3:53
  distance and some read it. I saw two different versions.
• 3:56
  Some say shot him out and flying sounds cooler.
• 4:02
  A very far distance. I don't know.
• 4:03
  Answering my words to the suit. That's for the superhero.
• 4:06
  Regardless, he went on his mission.
• 4:08
  The point is, and that point regardless, is that once a
• 4:11
  person commits to the mission, I shall mix it up.
• 4:14
  Now he goes on, he talks to the people and they do the shoe out.
• 4:19
  Why do you think he didn't want to do talk to him?
• 4:21
  And at first he's a prophet. Why would a prophet not want to
• 4:24
  do what he's told? You know what people didn't?
• 4:27
  Deserve what are you going to let bad and I?
• 4:29
  Mean his reason is he was a quantity first or a shoe.
• 4:31
  When at first I choose he was afraid if I get the non Jews to
• 4:35
  do to Shiva. It's a very big big leap and I
• 4:39
  make the Jewish people look bad. So he had a Jewish reason a
• 4:43
  mitzvah reason why not do a mitzvah you're doing if I was 6.
• 4:48
  Here's the real picture, and here is the gallon of Vernas
• 4:52
  play out that what's happening with your Knights of your story.
• 4:54
  Powers he ran away so you believe in a Shane you but he
• 4:58
  would have Shane is a pleasure. True.
• 5:00
  It's all good and I believe you could run away good.
• 5:03
  So here's the guy on the villas. It's like.
• 5:05
  Us today saying, OK, let's go to LA for Kippur and we'll get away
• 5:08
  from Kippur. The running away is difficult.
• 5:10
  The idea of this this is the governor of honor.
• 5:13
  This recess. We as Jewish people are compared
• 5:17
  to a specific bird. Which bird are we compared to
• 5:21
  the? Feeble.
• 5:23
  Yonati, the Javier Acela, we are compared to Yonat, the governor
• 5:29
  says is not by coincidence. This province's name was Yonat,
• 5:33
  and we are compared to Yonat, he says.
• 5:36
  And it's in fact long. The true story is an allegory to
• 5:39
  our existence and that is that every single one of us were
• 5:43
  plays on this world for a very exact mission.
• 5:47
  Our marriages, our children, our jobs, our role in the community
• 5:53
  who all have an exact mission. And naturally, for whatever
• 5:56
  reason, we don't, we get distracted or get overwhelmed.
• 5:59
  We're all busy every day and we don't really focus on our
• 6:02
  mission. I'm not going to put so much
• 6:04
  effort into my children. I try not going to put so much.
• 6:07
  I work our marriage, but to a degree I, I try to be a good
• 6:11
  member of the community, but OK, there's a lot of people out
• 6:13
  there who are more capable than I do.
• 6:15
  There's a natural quote and then he says you have excuses.
• 6:18
  And then he says you have, he says someone else says you have
• 6:21
  excuses not to do your mission that believe that it's a
• 6:26
  mitzvah. Listen, I can't put too much
• 6:29
  effort into my children. It's going to take away from my
• 6:31
  own mental well-being or I can't.
• 6:33
  I'm actually, I'm overdoing here with my house.
• 6:35
  I'm overdoing being involved in the rest in the community.
• 6:37
  I have to worry about my family. You can sit here with a mitzvah
• 6:41
  to have your excuse. Just like you know, I thought it
• 6:43
  was a good thing not to get these non Jews to do the
• 6:46
  Shavaka. It's going to affect the Jewish
• 6:47
  people. Hashem told them to do it but
• 6:49
  doesn't want to do it because you know, I get Jews.
• 6:51
  That's all of us with our your non mission or you and us.
• 6:55
  And then we all face, as we all do, people face rocky roads, all
• 7:01
  right, rocky waters. And then at one point when time
• 7:05
  was supposed to stop and say our owner Shama is not doing what
• 7:09
  we're supposed to be doing. If I'm facing back what was
• 7:12
  maybe it's time for me to restart, reset.
• 7:16
  And then according to this corner, Donna, you commit to
• 7:19
  reset and now you have the wind on your back and you have the
• 7:24
  ability and the strength to do something amazing and to fulfill
• 7:28
  your mission. This is the story of you're not
• 7:31
  in a powerful form. And he says that's why someone
• 7:36
  says that's why we read the entire story because just
• 7:38
  focusing on non Jews doing the Shabbat doesn't relate to us.
• 7:42
  But focusing on the fact that a individual or presenting the
• 7:47
  Jewish people was sent on a mission, tried to avoid that
• 7:50
  mission reset, got started, had then great strength and great
• 7:55
  might and succeeded in getting even 9 Jews due to shoe out.
• 7:59
  Which means he succeeded in the most wild mission.
• 8:03
  Tells us that if you realize that guy's trying to tell you
• 8:06
  you're here for a purpose, step into your role, then by the time
• 8:10
  you'll succeed, he writes, and you'll succeed in a wild way,
• 8:13
  even like that which is turning non Jews on to Hashem, even
• 8:18
  though you'll succeed. In fact, the king, as the pastor
• 8:21
  says, get out of his throne, put on sackcloth of an invent non
• 8:25
  Jew, put on sackcloth and the tissue.
• 8:27
  And this is all the strength of that mission, fellow.
• 8:30
  The idea of all of us on Kippur, which is a reset, is to heal
• 8:34
  this person there is and commit starting anew.
• 8:37
  That's the idea. All right, stop with this.
• 8:40
  Not for Baruch.
