  It's Friday. Here's what about Tara for the
• 0:03
  center of South, but actually, it's some Shoppers have couple.
• 0:08
  So we find ourselves days away from the launch of pasta.
• 0:12
  And it's a huggable this week, which means we have a different
• 0:14
  have term or not would be read for the said, reports of had it
• 0:17
  been a regular shadows and right at the end.
• 0:19
  It's the after up from The Book of Malachi, the final prophet of
• 0:23
  all times. And the famous conclusion of his
• 0:27
  prophecy is he may I know who should have like a my Samsung
• 0:30
  says I'm going to send us Ace eliyahu, hanavi eliyahu hanavi,
• 0:36
  Eleonora whatever doesn't make a difference live nearby your
• 0:40
  machine before the great and awesome day that I've shown you
• 0:42
  gonna send. So eliyahu hanavi is going to
• 0:44
  come and he'll be this character that will Give us a notice that
• 0:48
  the Messiah is on the way. Now, Lor Navi is someone who
• 0:52
  were going to me to please God. In a few days time, once you've
• 0:55
  got through past history of the Jewish people, and we've
• 0:59
  celebrated with our meal, we open the door shut.
• 1:03
  Foci Moscow. Guy weapon.
• 1:04
  The door me. We welcome in any on of it.
• 1:06
  Now, what doesn't happen? What doesn't happen is They come
• 1:11
  through the chimney that's not going on.
• 1:13
  Also doesn't happen that he's drinking wine from the cup and
• 1:16
  therefore you've got to tell the kids and somehow shake the table
• 1:19
  and all that other nonsense. What is happening and what is
• 1:23
  happening in after, who is his enigmatic character?
• 1:26
  What's he trying to do? What's he going to do to in the
• 1:29
  have Tory, has a very specific job, the hey, Shiva leave, all
• 1:32
  those are Bonham believe Bonham. I love us.
• 1:35
  Some will turn the hearts of the father's to the children and
• 1:39
  that's the hearts of the children to the father's. then I
• 1:43
  have ívkc as haaretz came here to shame comes and Causes Chaos
• 1:49
  in the land, through punishment, or different interpretations.
• 1:52
  What this turning of the hearts is, but I think we can see like
• 1:55
  this There's often a disconnect between the youth and the
• 2:01
  grown-up world. The grown-up world has the
• 2:05
  wisdom from experience from history.
• 2:07
  Perhaps sometimes, living in the past and was being very present
• 2:13
  in the now, but living with memories and thoughts of
• 2:16
  emotions in the past sometimes even being held back by the
• 2:20
  past. Not being able to imagine a
• 2:23
  better more glorious, more noble future because of what has come
• 2:27
  in the past. For many young people, the past
• 2:30
  doesn't touch them. It's not part of their reality
• 2:33
  happened. Before they were born, all they
• 2:34
  could think of is a glorious future.
• 2:38
  Well, it's not possible to have a future without a past, and
• 2:40
  you're not going to have a continuity of the past to the
• 2:42
  Future and it's both of those groups, the adults and the
• 2:46
  children are able to reconcile the hey Zhivago style bonding
• 2:51
  the hearts of the fathers will turn back to the children.
• 2:56
  The parents might be able to take some of that future
• 3:00
  optimism that the children represent and say okay, despite
• 3:04
  the past, I'm going to open my mind to a more glorious future.
• 3:08
  I'm not going to be restricted and held back by being somebody.
• 3:11
  That represents the past, believe Bonham, Oliver Simon,
• 3:15
  the children are going to have to show you're going to be able
• 3:17
  to show demonstrate the respect and appreciation for what went
• 3:21
  on before them, the sacrifice does in the struggles.
• 3:24
  And that way the future can perhaps be a safer space than
• 3:28
  the past having learnt the lessons from the past.
• 3:31
  So the adults have to let go of the past and imagine a future
• 3:34
  and the future has to show deference and respect to the
• 3:38
  pasta. It doesn't dare.
• 3:39
  Not repeat the same mistake or learns, the lessons that will
• 3:42
  enable their optimistic vision of the future to become
• 3:46
  realized. That's the have terror.
• 3:49
  The same thing is true on stay tonight, we go through the pass.
• 3:53
  We experience the slavery, we talk about it.
• 3:55
  We Into the joy of Freedom. We have a meal, to celebrate all
• 3:58
  that. Then we open our door and then
• 4:00
  what do we do? So I learnt recently interesting
• 4:03
  approach something different. I always thought that we welcome
• 4:07
  any on of it into the house, but why why do we want to do that?
• 4:11
  We're not bringing eliyahu hanavi into the house to see
• 4:14
  what the past history has been to see the crumbs of mutts are
• 4:18
  on the table. The bits of Mara that might not
• 4:19
  have been eaten the neuroses on the Seder plate, you to open the
• 4:24
  door and either physically or in our imagination demand that we
• 4:29
  hold hands with the eliyahu hanavi and we walked to the
• 4:32
  future together. At the plaza.
• 4:35
  Other Nabi says, just like Hashem.
• 4:37
  Sure does wonders that The Exodus who would show us wonders
• 4:39
  in the future, linking the past to the Future, Let's double down
• 4:44
  the open that door. That was till we're ready to go.
• 4:47
  We've got the lessons from the past.
• 4:49
  We can now as a family in, Imagine a glorious future.
• 4:52
  That is the visitor were going to come across both in the have
• 4:56
  Tara, the shadows and barrels of Shame on say, donate their King
• 4:59
  and US forward to imagine the Glorious future better times.
• 5:04
  Ahead. Let's learn the lessons from our
• 5:06
  history. Take them to the future with the
• 5:09
  eliyahu hanavi announcing the coming of the Messiah.
• 5:12
  That's the other. That's the effort we have to put
• 5:14
  in this week, to be able to live in two different dimensions.
• 5:17
  Will you do that? As rats Hashem will all return
• 5:20
  him to rush a line. Have a lovely day and a good
• 5:23
  Shabbos.
