Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just: The Duty of Longing for Zion and the Temple 1.05.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:02
  With we have this team most recently about a person I'm
• 0:07
  talking about being a pious person.
• 0:08
  One of the big cause being pious is longing for the redemption of
• 0:13
  the better Mitosh and the mindset about and seven Flavi to
• 0:17
  scrumble to her. Should I in these different if
• 0:18
  you lot so he points a says very natural thought, very normal
• 0:24
  minds. It is.
• 0:25
  Why should one individual think about something that's going to
• 0:29
  be changing the entire Jewish world, Hashem's world?
• 0:32
  I can't control it. I don't play a role.
• 0:34
  I don't make a difference. I mean, let's be real, whenever
• 0:37
  you go vote, they have to come into there.
• 0:39
  Every vote matters in order to get you to vote, right?
• 0:41
  And they need to give you that angle, even though you and I
• 0:43
  both know how votes don't really matter over here, but OK, every
• 0:46
  vote matters. Technically speaking, that's the
• 0:48
  angle you need to be seen as an individual who's going to tip
• 0:50
  the scale. How am I going to think that way
• 0:53
  when it comes to the bed? Why would I put the effort into
• 0:56
  my prayer regarding the building by the mitosh or my mindset
• 1:00
  hoping and loaning with his mitzvah one of the main mitzvahs
• 1:04
  out there see Peter Lieshua to hope and long for the rebuilding
• 1:08
  by the mitoshi. It's so distant from an
• 1:09
  individual. Why would I can't?
• 1:12
  Why would I think to put effort into that?
• 1:14
  That's this question maybe Omar Adam event Miani Omani Saffuna
• 1:19
  she for a little Allah group by who am I and what is my
• 1:24
  significance to even think about the Galuti sham.
• 1:27
  We just had to get out of this morning and yesterday with a
• 1:30
  person was considered maybe a little arrogant because he
• 1:34
  overly displayed his longing for the for you Shalayam in the
• 1:39
  building in Bethavidash. I'm a pleet vets Vilati says
• 1:43
  besides him someone might say you think my prayer he can sue
• 1:46
  Galliot with his Mahishwa. You think one person's prayer is
• 1:50
  going to gather all people from all around the world, all the
• 1:52
  Jewish people and bring the Yeshua.
• 1:54
  I think it's going to happen salvation to Shuba do, but you
• 1:58
  know the answer is simple, call Tasha Shanina as the command
• 2:00
  says the classic concept of physique Nibra Adamikidi man was
• 2:05
  born alone. Every person is created
• 2:07
  separately for a reason. You know, every person is
• 2:10
  created separately. Every person has a separate
• 2:11
  image. Every individual is a different
• 2:14
  type. You know, why could they should
• 2:16
  call Ekhadi Omar so that every person constantly says he shaves
• 2:20
  his up all the time. Bish Fili Nibra Alam the world
• 2:24
  is created because of me and it would be enough for God.
• 2:32
  All God wants that every person prays for the rebuilding of the
• 2:39
  world. But the key point is the world
• 2:42
  is created for me. A shame created the world for a
• 2:45
  single purpose. That's it.
• 2:48
  So two points. Why should I pray for the
• 2:50
  building better me dash Part number one is that I am an
• 2:53
  individual whom the entire world is worth being both for and
• 2:58
  therefore my individual, my own prayer is worthy the entire
• 3:04
  world. So on one persons prays on
• 3:06
  behalf of the whole world, it makes sense.
• 3:09
  The whole world is created for him.
• 3:10
  He can pray for the whole world. That's the much of the morning.
• 3:13
  Secondly, Hashem wants us to pray, simple as that.
• 3:17
  God wants us to care. That's these words.
• 3:25
  It makes a difference, Hashem, if we care.
• 3:28
  You know how many times out there you're, excuse me, you're
• 3:31
  in a situation when someone comes along and they can't help,
• 3:35
  they can't help. They don't have the means, they
• 3:37
  don't have the ability that I connected enough to help you in
• 3:39
  this situation. And I'm just telling you, I
• 3:42
  care. I'm just telling you, it bothers
• 3:45
  me when you're going through and I wish I could help you.
• 3:48
  And you say, well, that means a lot.
• 3:50
  What does that mean? They're not making any
• 3:51
  difference at all. It means a lot because take
• 3:54
  care. That's it.
• 3:56
  So in Hashem's eyes, when you care about his home being
• 4:00
  rebuilt and the building in Beth Mcdosh, when you all pained and
• 4:04
  you shall I, but not fully rebuilt, and it bothers you that
• 4:07
  the bed of Minaj is not fully there, That's feeling that sense
• 4:11
  of connection to Hashem through longing for Him to have a home.
• 4:15
  That in and of itself is sign that you care and that matters.
• 4:19
  So what's my purpose of it? To feel a #1 individual, you're
• 4:23
  not alone, you're not to stop any person.
• 4:25
  You are the purpose of the world.
• 4:27
  So you have the power to pray for the world and #2 God wants
• 4:31
  you to care, even if it has no outcome at all at this time.
• 4:38
  Yes, even if you're to feel out will not make a difference
• 4:43
  because you know what, the world isn't ready.
• 4:46
  Oh man, there's a time she or some other reason they're not
• 4:49
  ready for it. He knew him, I'll suit you.
• 4:51
  Him. You're doing yours, and God is
• 4:54
  happy with that. America, those were the rule.
• 4:56
  Samir Pazet, Samir Pazet, God is happy by you doing yours.
• 5:00
  These are two mindsets to the very broad topic, which is one
• 5:05
  of the biggest chunks of Our Lady, which is the longing of
• 5:07
  the bed to my gosh, minds number one.
• 5:10
  Why does it matter that I do so? Because every person matters and
• 5:13
  minds in #2 even if they don't, even if they can't make a
• 5:17
  difference, even if they won't move the needle at all, but they
• 5:20
  will move the needle in their heart.
• 5:23
  And God senses that, and that's good enough.
• 5:26
  It's a major concept. If you decide that Hashem cares
• 5:28
  about you, showing that you care and makes difference to Hashem.
• 5:31
  In fact, if you want to branch it out, it's a big keep you
• 5:35
  Hashem. It's a direct connection to God.
• 5:37
  I care about Hashem cares about most.
• 5:40
  It bothers me that there's no bathroom, Mahash.
• 5:43
  It bothers me there's no service.
• 5:45
  It bothers me that there's no kavochamayim, proper
• 5:48
  kavochamayim. The world doesn't see the truth.
• 5:50
  All that bothers you, Great. That means you care about God.
• 5:57
  And the lack of such care or the lack of such tefillah bothered
• 6:01
  the Navi very much. Ayah Navi says he saw there was
• 6:10
  no worthy man. It was founded that there's no
• 6:12
  one who would pray. In other words, the concern was
• 6:15
  Hashem was upset that there's nobody out there to pray to the
• 6:19
  longing and better with our svallamar thou beat Renozer.
• 6:24
  I look and I can't find the helper.
• 6:26
  There's torment Van Sommer. I'm astounded that there's no
• 6:30
  one to support Hashem just wants a supporter.
• 6:33
  The Amar Sione dores en la major Major Fasuk Azuka Gemia says
• 6:41
  Sion is there and no one sees a welfare, no one is worried about
• 6:47
  her. From this, from this pursuit, we
• 6:53
  learned that it needs Sion needs people to seek Inshallah, needs
• 6:59
  people to want it to exist. Depend to Mikash.
• 7:02
  Its entire existence is based on our memory and our longing.
• 7:07
  If you have no mourning of the better Midas, do you have no
• 7:11
  anticipation of better Midas? It wouldn't be a part of
• 7:15
  history, all right, because it wouldn't exist.
• 7:17
  If you have nothing that connects it to this world, it
• 7:20
  doesn't exist. Zion.
• 7:22
  The entire existence of Zion and the rebuild version is based on
• 7:27
  the morning and the longing. That's it.
• 7:31
  You know, I'm not getting evolved in Zionist version, Yes,
• 7:35
  that's not the issue, but our prayer.
• 7:37
  But if you like, it's too soon and we whether or not Zionist or
• 7:41
  not, a person should be a longing and a loving of Israel.
• 7:46
  That has to be your existence. And we get a little confused
• 7:50
  because there's a political element to it.
• 7:52
  You think that that means you're one way or the other way.
• 7:55
  You do old, you know, but it doesn't make a difference.
• 7:57
  The longing of that country, the love of the country is supposed
• 8:01
  to be very deep in our heart. At the strongest, one of our
• 8:05
  strongest loves has to be loved. The country of Israel has to be.
• 8:09
  That's a Jew. That is our essence, right?
• 8:12
  Like I say, the reason this is a, you know how things are.
• 8:15
  When people try to distance themselves from a certain belief
• 8:17
  'cause they don't want to get involved in the political
• 8:19
  element of it. They also, you know, it's like,
• 8:22
  you know, cutting out too much of A surgery.
• 8:24
  He tried to cut away from a certain emotion.
• 8:27
  I know some people who are both ways.
• 8:30
  Very strong sinus as if it were not the longing of the land.
• 8:34
  Should not be wary. Should not you should not shake
• 8:38
  on that even an iota. It's a very clear point and
• 8:41
  important point to emphasize, right?
• 8:44
  Is it mihal dubaya Trisha harikan shikhaya vimana?
• 8:48
  We are obligated by, we are obligated to long and to love
• 8:52
  and to, you know, talk about being there.
• 8:55
  All this is part of our essence. Van La le Patel me play mute
• 9:00
  Cocaino. You should never say I can't do
• 9:02
  enough. I can't help.
• 9:03
  I can't pitch in. I can't make it exist.
• 9:06
  I can't stop the wars. I can't rebuild a better Midas.
• 9:09
  I can't play a role. It's not true.
• 9:12
  But to make a difference at the end of the day, you need to long
• 9:14
  for it. You love it and you miss it.
• 9:17
  That has to be our way. All right, Kiako.
• 9:20
  It's a position, you know, lol. Alec Hamel A holiday more.
• 9:24
  This is where what are the best applications of this concept is
• 9:29
  and the concept of Jew is your job is not to finish your job is
• 9:33
  but at the same time, Verita Ben Horin libertarian MENA.
• 9:37
  You can't say I'm I'm my hands are clean from this topic.
• 9:41
  I'm solved from this topic because I can't play a role.
• 9:43
  He may not be able to play a role by the end of the day.
• 9:46
  He still needs to loan soon to love.
• 9:48
  You still need to think about you want to be there.
• 9:50
  You want to exist, you want to be strong has to be on our minds
• 9:54
  at all time, right Lamar Al Anavi was able we need by the
• 10:03
  way, you know. When you see the black house,
• 10:07
  you see the Jews March with the people and Semitic people.
• 10:11
  No, OK, that's ultra orthodox. Yeah, like those.
• 10:14
  People, they read. The they they study the.
• 10:19
  You want all that's little? I'm helping people.
• 10:21
  That want to kill Jews? How could they?
• 10:23
  Good. My opinion that is the
• 10:25
  definition of what we were just saying that is called and again,
• 10:28
  I don't want to say anything about anyone.
• 10:29
  That is the concept of taking something.
• 10:32
  I think the surgeon who cuts out another limb because he wants to
• 10:36
  make his point. You missed the original concept.
• 10:40
  I don't know the background that of that movement.
• 10:43
  I wasn't around when it was formed.
• 10:44
  I whatever, I'm sure if there was any sexual in the formation
• 10:49
  of that movement, it didn't include the joining together
• 10:53
  with terrorists. Wasn't the idea even at the
• 10:55
  original beginning. They have a political belief.
• 10:59
  They have a spiritual belief, whatever it may be.
• 11:02
  And I believe in a certain concept, whatever.
• 11:04
  But then there's that surgeon concept that takes you too far.
• 11:07
  Sione Vidoresh In law, you have to love and hope and wish for
• 11:14
  the land. Leave out the political element.
• 11:16
  The truth is, again, I don't want to go down any political
• 11:19
  roads. I'm walking on fire.
• 11:21
  But the guy, I'm walking in a tie rope.
• 11:23
  But the truth is he's supposed to love the land.
• 11:26
  You have the long for the land. You have to want to be there.
• 11:28
  It's got nothing to do with the political element.
• 11:30
  You have to want it to exist. You want it to be strong.
• 11:33
  You want it to be healthy. You wanted to be shot home
• 11:35
  there. You wanted to be taught out
• 11:37
  there. You want it to be in its full
• 11:39
  state. You want it to be very much
• 11:42
  regardless of the political element you have.
• 11:45
  OK, They turned it into a political angle.
• 11:48
  On the other hand, the anti turned it into some of them
• 11:51
  turned it into I'm a wage war on anything.
• 11:53
  Before you know it, they don't hold to the land.
• 11:55
  It's ridiculous. It's not the point, right Sione?
• 11:58
  You have to love it and hope for it.
• 11:59
  That's all I'll say 100%. It's the beauty of the land.
• 12:03
  You get a shower of the land. It's existence, 'cause I should
• 12:06
  remember when I got there and I was first there learning.
• 12:10
  I learned it on bond very early on.
• 12:12
  It changed my entire year and a half there, and I bought a row.
• 12:16
  Every sin that's done there is double sin.
• 12:20
  All right, I don't know where this arm body is because in one
• 12:23
  hand you're sitting. I know the hand.
• 12:25
  You're desecrating the lane. And to me, that shifted my
• 12:28
  entire brush. Yeah, First of all, maybe I'm
• 12:29
  pins and needles the whole time. Fine.
• 12:32
  But also what it did was it told me you're there because of
• 12:35
  spirituality. You're there because there's a
• 12:37
  kid who shocked. You're there because the
• 12:39
  beautiful land, beautiful on Hashem's eyes is real.
• 12:42
  Something unbelievable. So there's something I'm telling
• 12:44
  you I all the all year. I just want to be there and me
• 12:47
  personally, if I could just get on a plan and be there.
• 12:49
  I'll be there tomorrow for a week.
• 12:52
  I want to be there. I want to pray there, I want to
• 12:54
  connect there. I want to learn there dying to
• 12:56
  be there. That's how my my mind says all
• 12:58
  times. All right, I know my grandfather
• 13:00
  has a swarm. Toddies were there.
• 13:04
  He would always say this is class one random conversation.
• 13:07
  Every sale at home. You couldn't even hear what
• 13:09
  you're saying. Every sale at home is your home.
• 13:12
  The land area to sale at home. It was, that's my home.
• 13:15
  He was born there, I believe, or at least he grew up there.
• 13:18
  Maybe he moved there early on and I grew up there for some
• 13:20
  years. He always loves it, always
• 13:22
  wanted to go back. That was always his framework.
• 13:25
  And that has to be our my institute.
• 13:26
  It is our home, it's our base. So people, sometimes people who
• 13:30
  are very Zionistic use that angle and they say, right, what
• 13:33
  are we doing here? I hear you.
• 13:35
  You're right. But it's not because I want to
• 13:37
  join the Knesset. It's because I want to be there.
• 13:40
  On the other hand, the entire movement, don't overdo your
• 13:44
  anti. You want to get the shy of the
• 13:46
  land to be strong. Let's be real.
• 13:48
  That's the anger, right? If the Knesset helps, great.
• 13:51
  If they don't help, then no. That's the whole point.
• 13:53
  All right? I can't get involved in the
• 13:54
  actual political opinion. Doesn't relate to me.
• 13:57
  Nothing to do. By the way, I don't live there.
• 13:58
  That's why do I need to have a political opinion.
• 14:00
  All right, Valmar aura Navi E manayala miko Bani Milada, then
• 14:06
  Mahzig beada miko Bani Ngidila. The prophecies is how it goes
• 14:11
  and dying aid sail during exile. Among all the children she has
• 14:16
  born, there is no one to guide her.
• 14:18
  Among all the children, she has really no one to support her.
• 14:21
  In other words, it needs support, it needs longing, it
• 14:25
  needs someone to care about the land.
• 14:27
  The Ahmad call about Sarah Khatzir, the call has a has to
• 14:33
  all fleshes like grass and all its kindness is like a blossom
• 14:37
  in the field. Grass Withers and blossom feeds.
• 14:40
  Indeed, the people are grass. OK, I was get this idea.
• 14:44
  I'll just give you 2 examples that are classic in history.
• 14:47
  I'll start with this 2 classic examples.
• 14:49
  I said Saturday night with the habit Kaim.
• 14:51
  It's all known that he longed to be there.
• 14:53
  It was whole time he wanted to be there.
• 14:56
  And even more example, greater examples than I'm ban than I'm
• 14:59
  ban. The Islander Villa.
• 15:02
  These are rabbis. It's been years just trying to
• 15:05
  get there. These are rabbis.
• 15:06
  I wouldn't waste a second. They wouldn't disrupt their life
• 15:08
  for anything. They sounded that all day long,
• 15:10
  but they put a major effort, major, major effort just to
• 15:15
  travel there and they got there. They didn't live that long over
• 15:17
  there, but they got there. They got one of them and left
• 15:20
  his family. Here's a letter when he writes a
• 15:23
  letter to his wife and kids and to his mother and everything.
• 15:26
  His mother was living in his house with his wife and him and
• 15:30
  his children, and he picked up and traveled to Israel.
• 15:35
  I don't know how long he was there for.
• 15:36
  I don't know how long they left his family before he writes a
• 15:38
  whole letter to them. It's a classic letter, but in
• 15:41
  that letter he tells him how to how to live, tells his wife how
• 15:44
  to live with her Muslim law while he's not there.
• 15:45
  That's part of the letter tells his daughters how to act.
• 15:48
  That's all that. But he left his family for a
• 15:51
  while because he just wanted to be the Dramban travel through so
• 15:55
  much just to get there. He got there.
• 15:58
  And if you ever been to the I have a very classic place in
• 16:04
  Hebron right there on the corner.
• 16:07
  They have the burial of the Ramban.
• 16:09
  He died near the route to Mahmoud.
• 16:12
  That means he was travelling. He got there, then he passed
• 16:14
  away. It wasn't awesome.
• 16:16
  The point is he wasn't there for a million years.
• 16:18
  It wasn't like it was the glory of his life.
• 16:20
  He just wanted to make it to the lane.
• 16:22
  And that is our point. You just want to be there.
• 16:24
  You wanted to exist. You wanted to be rebuilt.
• 16:27
  You love it and you hope for it. And when you see fights over
• 16:30
  there, that bothers you. Part of the reason it bothers
• 16:32
  you is because the land is not in its glory.
• 16:35
  When you see a lock in the bedroom with Dash, it bothers
• 16:37
  you because the people and the lands are not in their glory and
• 16:40
  you're longing to get there and because you 2 want to be there
• 16:44
  and you want to see you shall lion and it's full glory.
• 16:46
  Start with this.
