Basket Case

0:00There's a madrish, strange madrish, says we read Pasha Shkolim yesterday, it's Monday, Shabbat's today's film, sorry, so it won't be blur, so Shabbat's we read Pasha Shkolim, which is a reminder that we all have a, we all should be giving the Shekel coin to the Betamigdash, to the coffers of the Betamigdash so that they could renew the purchases of the offerings in the fiscal year, right? It's a fiscal date, just like we know April 15th, right? December 31st is the end, is the end of the tax year, the fiscal year and then you have to file by, by April 15th,

1:02the same thing in the temple, the fiscal year ends on, on Nissan one, on the first day of Nissan, that's when they have to use new money to purchase the offerings, everything resets and they would collect the money for the 30 days prior, that's how they collect the money and they would start using the new funds on Nissan one, on the first day of Nissan. The, so this reading, but the truth is, is that it's a little bit of a puzzle because this reading is not really that relevant because we don't have the Betamigdash today, we don't have the Betamigdash today, so why are we reading? There are many other things we could talk about, why is it, what's so important about the Shackle coins? I understand when we get to the myths of reading about Amole, that's the myths for every year, that applies today as well, maybe even Paraduma, okay, we're longing for the Paraduma so that we could

2:04bring the carbon peasant, how does, what's so important about these Shackle coins? And so the many of these can't do, what's so important about the Shackle coins, a half Shackle coin in me, talking about a few bucks, a little bit strange, why is it such, it makes such a big deal about it. The measure says that these, the myths of the Shackle is so important that God foresaw that there's going to be a haman, he saw that there's going to be an antagonist against the Jewish people, an anti-Semite par excellence by the name of haman, he's going to try to wipe out the Jewish people and he's going to buy the right to assess, to murder the people, man, women, a child, and the measure says that God says you think you're going to be able to be successful, give out a kid move, they already gave the

3:04Shackles, earlier, to the beta-migdash, they already gave the Shackles, so their Shackles is going to outweigh or actually weigh the exact same amount according to the mathematics as Jewish Shackles. So what have to do with the other one is the Shackles, they gave hundreds of thousands of years earlier, hundreds of years earlier going to have to do with the fact that haman wants to buy out the Jewish people. So it's a beautiful, beautiful explanation, very, very powerful explanation, that is that what was haman's greatest strength? He said what was his greatest strength? It was his passion, the man was very, very passionate, whatever he did, what? He was very passionate. He was passionate, whatever he wanted, you know how much money he was willing to pay in silver? You know how much money he was willing to pay? He's willing to give

4:07billions, I think I think I saw an estimate the other day, $2.2 billion in modern terms. And he was one of the wealthiest men, Cairo, haman, this is some of the wealthiest guys in the history of the world. And he was willing to give all that up just to kill the Jews. I mean, I have people that bother me, but I'm not giving away my money to get rid of them. You know, that's the next level. He was very, very passionate about what he did. And that was, so what is the Shekels? What is the key to the Shekels is the passion? Right, we have to have a passion to be passionate about the giving. Right, you can't be like a daisicle about it. You have to rush forth with it. This should be an excitement and anticipation. Right, that's really what the whole idea is, we make an announcement, you gotta give you half a Shekel. And when you gave it, you're not, how much you have to give, you have to give only a half a Shekel. You had to, in fact, you had to break the coin, not not literally break the

5:10coin, but you had to break it, whatever it's called, the money changer. My mission goes into great detail. You have to have money changers because I'll give a Shekel. No, no, no, you gotta give a half a Shekel. You gotta be exact. Exactly what it is. Right, there was exact detail of what you had to do and how you did it. The idea, and if you look at the whole midst vote of Purim, everything we do on Purim is done with passion. It's done with Greco more than normal. Right, everything you do, you do more than normal. You read the McGillow once, no, we're gonna read it twice. Read the McGillow once, and we're gonna read it twice, once by night, once by day. Normally, normally every other thing, like I'm not advocating for hunger, sleep in the middle, but maybe your person falls asleep, maybe they get sick, maybe they're not yet sick. By McGillow, everybody agrees. You full of sleep? You're out. You're out. Start again, buddy. That's it. Try again. Right, you know how hard it is to stay focused for, I mean, especially today with the ADD

6:14that everybody has. Right, people can't stay focused. I told you, I think I said the other day. The maximum amount of class time that can be done simultaneously and it was between 15 and 20 minutes. Kids are totally in a different planet. By the end of 20 minutes, they don't even know that they came to school anymore, they're so far gone. Right, they don't know how building them in. Right, so the, the, you gotta go 40 minutes, right, to hear the McGillow. You gotta go be able to stay on track for the 40 minutes to read the McGillow. Right, you have to do this passion. Now, once twice, you gotta probably have every word. Right, comes to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, giving the gift baskets for all of my rhythm, all you give the better it is. What's that look up? And not more, give more, give more on that. We make an advertisement. Right, Andre, Alan is, we're having the bit of Knesset as the basket campaign and make sure that you send your money, either through this machine over here, or Alan accepts cash. It's one of the few places you could still get rid of your cash. There's not too many places anymore. You can use cash.

7:16And, or you could send it in, but whatever it is, you have to give your 120, 120, 26, 120, 26, and that also, by the way, you're not, you don't have to, it's minimum 120, 26, you give more, you can give more. Right, because I told you everything you have to do with passion. Right, more charity, but best give more and more and more, my turn is to love you. I name, it says minimum took, but not more. Shukanox says it's stretching. And Shukanox says, say, take a little of all day. Shukanox doesn't say we're 18 pairs of cities, comes to, comes to Purim, everything more, more, do more, they're not, do more. It's better to do more. Shukanox is better to do more of this than to do more of that. It's better to do it. Just hit them with everything's about passion. Right, and then of course, we get to the meal. The meal is the most passionate, right? Because Alan Mambi, the more you drink, the better it is. And I tell you, everything is more. More, everything's more. Now, the problem is some people, they're only good at this last medicine. That's what they find. They're very strict on the last medicine. The other one, they're not, they don't seem to be the same passion.

8:17But okay, passionate Jews, right? So all of them are passionate. That's what under, Harman was passionate. Right? Harman was passionate. Amolic was about passion, right? This is that they didn't want at all. Of course, they didn't want the Jews to have passion. That was the key. No, no, no, no. That's what we are. As a people, we have to be passionate, passionate Jews. And let's all make sure that we send our shekels in. We have to Bismillah, Hashem, we'll do the shekels in the base of Mcdush, but till we can do that, let's send our shekels over here and be part of the Basker campaign.
