Military Police Try To Arrest Ben Torah....
Protesters Overturn Police Car, 3 Arrested

The Military Police arrived at the home of a ben yeshivah overnight Tuesday, again from the Sephardi community, in Ramat Gan—near Bnei Brak.
Hotlines associated with Peleg Yerushalmi alerted hundreds of protesters, who arrived at the scene and confronted the police. Clashes ensued, and the protesters overturned a Miliatry Police car. Eventually, Border Police forces rescued the Military Police forces from the area.
A statement from the police said, “The police acted tonight to disperse an illegal demonstration in Ramat Gan and arrested two people. A report was received of protesters gathering on Meir Baal HaNes Street in Ramat Gan, against the backdrop of Military Police activity in the area, along with attempts to harm the forces.”
“Dan District officers quickly arrived at the scene and began dispersing the rioters and extracting the Military Police teams. The rioters continued gathering at the location, causing damage to Military Police vehicles and overturning a vehicle. The officers worked to disperse the protest and arrested two suspects, who were brought in for questioning at the police station.”
Mothers’ Cries: “They Took My Son Handcuffed By His Hands & Feet, Like A Terrorist”
IN AMERICA ONE NEEDS A WARRANT TO BREAK INTO YOUR HOME
but not in a fascist environment
Mothers of yeshivah bochurim arrested by military police tearfully spoke about the shocking arrests of their sons and the difficult ruchniyus conditions in prison to Kol Chai radio host Yankele Friedman.
Hadassah is the mother of Ariel Yechezkel, a yeshiva bochur from Ma’ale Adumim who was arrested a week ago. She described the shock of the arrest, recounting how the police arrived at their home at 3 a.m., dressed in civilian clothing.
“We never believed that such a thing could actually happen,” she said. She said they tried for two hours to prevent the arrest, but the police threatened to arrest her as well. “My son went because he was afraid they would take his mother,” she said painfully. She emphasized the humiliation they put her son through: “They didn’t allow him to go to the bathroom or change clothes; they demanded that the bathroom door stay open.”
Hadassah described the ruchniyus challenges in prison: “Ninety-five percent of the prison staff are female soldiers,” she said. “Ariel suffered especially on Shabbos, when the others were all smoking.”
“He almost gave in and enlisted. He told me: ‘Ima, I just want to get out of here.’ But at the end, he signed a refusal, with help from a lawyer.”
She added that she’s hoping that he’ll be released next Wednesday and asked for tefillos.
Anat Bukra, from Be’er Sheva, is the mother of a yeshivah bochur who was also arrested a week ago. She described the arrest. “A week ago, there were knocks on the door at 11:30 p.m.—eight husky men were there and took my son handcuffed by his hands and feet, handcuffed to a police officer, like some Arab terrorist.”
Anat compared the situation to historical persecutions: “I feel that there is currently a terrible decree upon us, as if we are in the times of the Romans who persecuted lomdei Torah.”
She expressed pain at the lack of public interest, though she noted the large atzeres tefillah “Today it’s my son, and tomorrow it’s another child,” she warned
Rina spoke about her relative who was arrested and whom she has already visited in prison several times. “I feel like the issue is already disappearing from the agenda, and that can’t happen,” she stressed.
She emphasized the suffering of families from the periphery (lower-income cities in northern and southern Israel), especially from small Sephardi yeshivas, where there is insufficient support. “There are families from the periphery that aren’t receiving any assistance. They could end up breaking and agreeing to enlist,” she warned.
Radio host Yankele Friedman clarified for families who may face an attempted arrest: “You do not have to open the door if there is no search warrant.”
He painfully concluded, “To think that we are in the State of Israel, the Jewish state, where lomdei Torah are pursued like this—unfathomable.”
One listener mentioned an Ethiopian boy, Yitzchak ben Esther, who has been sitting in prison for two months and has not received any legal assistance.
It should be noted that although there are legal aid organizations that are assisting lomdei Torah who were arrested, their families must contact the organizations to facilitate legal proceedings. Bochurim from families who are not well-connected or are not part of a Chareidi community may not be aware of the available legal assistance.

In part 27 of The Prophetic Teachings of Rav Elchonon Wasserman we studied the first half of an essay he published in 5682, over 100 years ago. Here is an excerpt from the beginning that fits the news out of Israel today like a glove:
“And those who hate you will rule over you” (Vayikra 26:17).
“That I will set up people who hate you only from you and inside you. [This is a particular curse,] for when the nations of the world stand up against Israel they only seek that which is in the open…but when I stand up [enemies] against you from you and inside you, they will search after your hidden things” (Rashi from Toras Kohanim).
This curse has come upon us in our generations in the most terrible fashion. In the known country (Russia) the authority over Judaism was given to the hands of apostates, a small minority of whom are wild fanatics, and the vast majority are the regular sort who cast off the yoke of heaven. They lack any human feeling…
Have you seen videos of the Erev Rav in uniforms destroying Jewish homes, and savagely beating (religious) Jewish protestors?
Have you read their laconic statements to the press in response to various atrocities and “intelligence failures”?
Have you detected any trace of humanity and compassion in their campaign to sanction a large segment of the population that refuses to join the physical and spiritual meat grinder known as the IDF?
Do they even pretend to care about the small children they wish to drive into acute poverty with the seething hatred that they have for no other people on earth?
Back to Rav Wasserman:
They have formed a dark inquisition, the likes of which hasn’t been since the middle ages. They pursue Jews with anger and fury over Torah study, Shabbos observance, and the like. They establish schools for Jewish children of tender age, where the primary instruction is kefirah of the fundamentals and unprecedented abandonment [of the Torah[. From instruction such as this all that can grow is wild animals in the form of human beings.
In Eretz Yisrael, in which the agents of the Satan think the rulership belongs to them, they copy like monkeys the ideology of “their friends”, for whom in their eyes the best way to show everyone the practical reality of their ideology — is the fist.
Again, Rav Wasserman wrote this in 1921-22, long before the agents of Satan had an actual state, with all the resources and power that afforded them to carry out their war against the Jewish people from within.
In the other countries, in which they were not able to openly use the power of the fist, there instead exist newspapers of hired jokers and scoffers of all types, who wear different masks and costumes — and some don’t wear a mask at all — and all of them dance in the circle of demons, whose end goal is: to disconnect the Jew from the authority of the Torah of Hashem.
Now go read The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel, Arutz Sheva, or any of the other cynical propaganda organs with hired mercenaries, some of whom wear masks, but all of whom dance with the same demons and advance the same goal.
It is no coincidence that the exponential rise of anti-Jewish blood libels in the gentile media and social media directly parallels an escalation in the way our enemies from within are pursuing “Jews with anger and fury over Torah study, Shabbos observance, and the like.”
It doesn’t matter if you are not part of the community that is the main focus of their pursuit. (Don’t worry, they have plans for you too.) It doesn’t matter if you have legitimate complaints about this community. Just as our external enemies put aside their differences to wage war against us, we need to put aside our differences and stand together when Torah study and yeshiva students are under attack.
It doesn’t matter if you would never send your child to one of the yeshivos being attacked. You need to speak out against this.
Rav Wasserman’s essay continued with many more important points, such as to what extent we can passively rely on the guarantee that Hashem will save us, and the necessary preconditions for Hashem to perform miracles for us.

🔥הוא אמר שיעור באש להבה🔥: המנהיג הרב לנדו בשיעור לע"נ מרנא רבי אהרן קוטלר, וחשף עובדה אישית ממחיצתו
בתחילת השבוע הגיע רבינו לירושלים בשכונת רמות, למסירת שיעור עיוני בעומק סוגיית אמירה בקידושין לע"נ מרנא ורבנא הגר"א קוטלר זצוק"ל לרגל יארצייט השישים ושש בישיבת בית מדרש גבוה, פינקל, קודם השיעור פתח:
ברשות ידידי ראש הישיבה שליט"א, נאמר דברי תורה ליום היארצייט של מרן גאון העולם רבן של ישראל רבי אהרן קוטלר זכר צדיק לברכה, ידוע שרבי אהרן קוטלר היה אש התורה בוערת בו, מצד שני היה בין אדם לחבירו, הייתי פעם אחת זה היה בישיבת סלבודקא, הוא אמר שיעור באש להבה, אש קודש, ואח"כ ראש הישיבה ארח אותו וגם אנחנו היינו שם, וכל מי שאמר איזה דבר בקצה השולחן הוא התעניין מה הוא אומר, בכזאת התעניינות בשקט, ראו שהכל בוער לשם שמיים, כל השיעור היה אש קודש, אבל יש כאן בני אדם הכל מה הוא אומר מה הוא אומר, בקצה השולחן לשמוע, הכל היה אש קודש, זה לא היה ענין של תכונות, ענין שבער בו אש התורה, אני לא אומר חידושים, כולם יודעים את זה, אבל אמרנו את הנקודה החשובה הזאת.
ובסוף השיעור הדריך רבינו את הבחורים: יש בעיה בלימוד, קצת שכל ישר, מה זה שכל ישר? זה בעיה גדולה מאד, זה מחלוקת גדולה, אבל לא נשתבחו הראשונים אלא בסברא ישרה, כל הישר מחבירו גדול מחבירו, מי אמר את זה? רבי חיים וואלז'ינר, צריכים לשאוף לסברא ישרה, יכול ויכוחים, ברור.
באמת מי שלומד את דברי מרן גאון העולם מהר"א קוטלר, רואה כמה סברא ישרה יש שם, אני זכיתי, למדתי מעט, אבל שמעתי שיעורים שלו מהתחלה עד הסוף, לא קטע אחד, למדתי עם חברותא הרבה זמן פלאי פלאים, זה היה בנזקי שכנים, ישבנו ועמלנו, אני חושב שאני לא אומר חידוש, אם זה לא מתווכחים. בהצלחה רבה.
אני מודה לראש הישיבה, שיצליח בתלמידים בלימוד התורה, כל הדברים נזכה לגאולה קרובה, כל הצרות כבר יחלפו כחלום יעוף, נזכה ללמוד תורה כמו שצריך, כל טוב.
הוסיף רבינו וברך את הבחורים: ה' יעזור לכם שתלמדו טוב תשמעו למה שמלמדים אתכם, והעיקר להיות שקוע בלימוד, שקוע בהתמדה ביחד, שאר הדברים חלום יעוף.
📖הדבר היחידי שיעניין אותכם, ללמוד: המנהיג הרב לנדו בהערה עיונית ובהדרכה לתלמידיו הצעירים בישי"ק בק"ס

Satmar Rebbe Of Kiryas Yoel…….
Satmar Rebbe Of Kiryas Yoel To Give $5 Million In Eretz Yisroel To Mosdos Who Don’t Take Money From Israel
A major distribution of five million dollars will take place this coming week for Chinuch institutions in Israel that do not receive any government funding. The funds are being allocated through Keren Hatzalah, the philanthropic organization established decades ago by the Satmar Rebbe, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum Zatzal.
The distribution will be held at the offices of the Badatz Eidah HaChareidis in Kikar Zupnik, Jerusalem.
Bichadrei reports that four million dollars of the current sum were donated by prominent Satmar (Reb Zalman Leib) philanthropists:
R’ Chaim Pesach Goldstein, one of the senior members of the fund’s leadership;
R’ Berel Weiss of Los Angeles;
R’ Yechezkel Schwimmer of Williamsburg;
R’ Yoeli Landau of Williamsburg;
R’ Mordechai Kahn of Montreal;
R’ Avraham Yirmiyash of Kiryas Yoel.
An additional one million dollars was delivered last night (Sunday) by the Satmar Rebbe, who personally handed a check to Badatz member HaRav Avraham Yitzchok Ullman during a ceremony of Hafrashas Terumos U’Maasros in Or HaGanuz.
This portion of the donation was contributed by Satmar (Reb Aron) philanthropists R’ Menachem Gershon Leibowitz, R’ Yechezkel Berkowitz, and R’ Shalom Yakubovitz of Williamsburg.
Keren Hatzalah, founded by the Satmar Rebbe Zatzal, is dedicated to raising and distributing funds exclusively to Chinuch institutions in Eretz Yisroel that refuse all Israeli government funding, and is jointly supported by both Satmar courts.
At the center of the Satmar Rebbe’s uplifting visit to the community of Or HaGanuz, near Meron — where he arrived to perform Hafrashas Terumos U’Maasros on the past year’s local wine — an unexpected and emotional moment unfolded.
During the visit, the Rebbe met with members of the Badatz of the Eidah HaChareidis. As the gathering reached its peak, and with all eyes on him, the Rebbe suddenly drew a sealed envelope from his pocket. Inside was a check for an astounding one million dollars.
He handed the check to Rav Ullman, directing that the full amount be distributed to “mosdos al taharas hakodesh in Eretz Yisroel,” institutions that steadfastly refuse any funding from the Zionist government.
This remarkable step was carried out with complete discretion. Even the Rebbe’s closest confidants were unaware of his intention. He made the decision on his own — after already having left Jerusalem — to give the enormous sum quietly, without publicity, without any requests for honor, and without the usual ceremonies that typically accompany donations of this magnitude.

Comments:
For comparison, the March 2025 state budget allocated approximately 1.27 billion NIS for Yeshivas, 75 million NIS for Seminaries, and 60 million NIS for Yeshivas for overseas students.
This is a tremendous Kiddish Hashem. May every Yeshiva reject Zionist money
Reb Goldwag: Toldos - Blessings and Peace
What is the concept of blessings?
How does it relate to the hebrew word BaReCh, which are all double numbers (gematria 222)?
What is meant when we say that the blessings come because of the Torah learning of Yaakov?
Why does this relate to the 'returning' of the Jewish people from Exile and also the movement of the Divine Presence from one Mishkan to another?
How do the blessings manifest - in abundance, in children, in service of Hashem, and in understanding the Torah of Hashem?
Eliezer Meir Saidel: Biblical Mockup - Toldot
Rashi on the first pasuk of our parsha asks “Why is it necessary for the repetition – “Yitzchak the son of Avraham” and then “Avraham gave birth to Yitzchak”? If the pasuk begins by saying ‘Yitzchak the son of Avraham’, it is obvious that Avraham gave birth to Yitzchak?”
Rashi, quoting a Gemara (Bava Metzia 87a), goes on to explain. The There were some “clowns of the generation” who mocked and said that it was not possible that Avraham gave birth to Yitzchak. Avraham was married to Sarah for 75 years and in all that time she never became pregnant from him. Suddenly Avimelech kidnaps Sarah and a short time later Sarah is pregnant and gives birth to Yitzchak. It must be that she became pregnant from Avimelech.
That is not the incredible part. There were some clowns who mocked, so what? Who cares about some small-minded idiots? The mind-blowing part of this is that HaKadosh Baruch Hu, specifically and only because of this mockery, changed Yitzchak’s facial appearance so that it matched Avraham’s exactly, that anyone who saw Yitzchak, could not mistake the physical resemblance to Avraham. HaKadosh Baruch Hu completely changed nature, simply because some clowns mocked.
If HaKadosh Baruch Hu was so “extreme” in His response to this mockery, then it cannot be such a trivial thing and we need to further explore why such drastic steps were necessary.
The next thing we need to examine is – why wait until now, until parshat Toldot to state this fact? If the incident with Avimelech took place just before Yitzchak was born, then why bring it up here, 40 years later, when Yitzchak is now already 40-years-old and married to Rivka?
In parshat Vayeira we read about Avraham throwing a big party on the day that Yitzchak was weaned. Why does the pasuk not state it there, why wait until Yitzchak is forty? Or even better, why wait until he was weaned? Why not throw the party at Yitzchak’s brit milah, when he was 8-days-old?
Rashi (ibid.) says that this party in Vayeira was attended by many important guests, including Shem and Ever … and Avimelech! We can understand Avraham inviting his Roshei Yeshiva to the celebration, but why Avimelech? The no-goodnik who had just kidnapped his wife, Sarah?
In order to understand how, when and why this “mockery” began, we have to backtrack to the beginning of parshat Vayeira.
Three angels come to visit Avraham, Michael, Rafael and Gavriel. Michael’s mission was to inform Sarah that she will have a son. Sarah overhears Michael’s conversation with Avraham through the opening of the tent and reacts with mocking laughter (Ramban/Malbim). HaKadosh Baruch Hu confronts Avraham “Why did Sarah mock?” Sarah vehemently denies it, but HaKadosh Baruch Hu replies “No – you mocked!”
As a result, Sarah was punished measure for measure and when she gives birth to Yitzchak, she admits her mistake “I mocked, and now HaKadosh Baruch Hu has made other people mock me!” What mockery is she referring to? The mockery referred to above at the beginning of our parsha, that Yitzchak’s biological father is Avimelech and not Avraham!
That is why the mockery began. How did it begin? It began with Yishmael mocking (Bereishit 21:9). According to the Sforno Yishmael mocked Yitzchak’s lineage, claiming that Avimelech was Yitzchak’s father and not Avraham.
What was Yishmael’s purpose? It wasn’t just idle banter. It had a definitive and targeted purpose – to establish Yishmael as Avraham’s only heir and not Yitzchak!
When did this mockery begin? The Sforno brings two possibilities. The first is that it began at the party when Yitzchak was weaned. Yishmael previously overheard the “clowns of the generation” joking about it and decided to take it one step further. The other possibility is that he already started disseminating this mockery immediately after Yitzchak was born, but Sarah never overheard it before that because she was preoccupied nursing Yitzchak. Now that Yitzchak was weaned, Sarah was more “out and about” and she heard it only now, at the party.
The Malbim (ibid.) adds an extra dimension to this saying that Yishamel overheard the mockery from Hagar, his mother. That Hagar was the source, she was the “clown of the generation,” for the same purpose – to preserve her son Yishmael’s status as sole heir.
Why was the Avimelech invited to the party? So that everyone could see with their own eyes that Yitzchak was Avraham’s son. HaKadosh Baruch Hu took this episode so seriously that He was prepared to alter the course of nature and change Yitzchak’s face to look like Avraham’s.
HaKadosh Baruch Hu conveyed the seriousness of this incident to Sarah in a prophecy, which resulted in her demanding that Avraham banish Yishmael and Hagar, the mockers. Avraham was appalled at the prospect, but HaKadosh Baruch Hu tells him – “In this case you are wrong and Sarah is right! Do exactly what she says.”
Why mention this episode 40 years later? In this parsha we read about the struggle of Eisav and Yaakov over who was to be Yitzchak’s heir. The Torah is telling us – it is the same, age old, struggle, that continues to this day.
Fast forward 3,698 years …
There is a new buzzword in the media – “Narrative.” Everyone is speaking about this “narrative,” that “narrative,” etc. “Narrative” is just a euphemism for – lie. Just like thousands of years ago, their ancestors Yishmael and Eisav were manipulating their “narrative,” so today, theiIf HaKadosh Baruch Hu was so “extreme” in His response to this mockery, then it cannot be such a trivial thing and we need to further explore why such drastic steps were necessary.r descendants are propagating similar “narratives.”
There is no such thing as a “narrative,” there is only truth and lies. Using “double speak,” “turn speak” and fancy words like “narrative,” groups with agendas are duping people into believing their doctrine of lies. Sometimes the lies are so subtle and intricate and even have some ingredient of truth embedded deep down, perverted and taken out of context – that people cannot readily identify them as a lie.
So how can we tell what is true and what is false? The answer is – look for the mockery. Only a liar needs mockery to lend “authenticity” to his lie. The truth does not need to mock or belittle someone or something, it stands on its own merit. A lie is inherently lacking merit, so it requires all kinds of tricks to prop it up, like mockery.
Parshat HaShavua Trivia Question: Why did Yaakov give Eisav bread and red/brown lentil stew (Bereishit 25:34), when Eisav only asked for the lentils?
Answer to Last Shiur’s Trivia Question: How did Avraham’s eulogize Sarah (Bereishit 23:2)? The song Eishet Chayil Mi Yimtza (Mishlei 31:10-31), that husbands sing to their wives on Friday nights (Midrash Tanchuma, Buber, Chayei Sarah 3).
The Bnei Menashe Approved for Immigration to Israel
JERUSALEM – The Israeli government has greenlit a plan to facilitate the immigration of the Bnei Menashe Jewish community from northeastern India, the Prime Minister’s Office announced. The initiative, put forward by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Immigration Minister Ofir Sofer, comes amid ethnic tensions in India’s Manipur and Mizoram regions.
Under the approved plan, 1,200 community members are expected to immigrate to Israel by 2026, with an additional 5,800 arriving by 2030. The effort aims to reunite families and complete the relocation of the entire Bnei Menashe population to Israel. New arrivals will primarily settle in Nof HaGalil and other northern cities.
Netanyahu called the move “a significant Zionist decision that will strengthen the Galilee and the North,” and thanked Sofer, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and Minister Ze’ev Elkin for their collaboration on the initiative.

Over the past two decades, around 4,000 Bnei Menashe have already moved to Israel under earlier government programs. This new plan seeks to complete the community’s migration.
Separately, Netanyahu met with India’s Commerce Minister, Piyush Goyal, to discuss deepening economic ties, expanding trade and investment, and advancing the U.S.-backed India-Middle East-Europe corridor (IMEC), a trade and transportation initiative that includes Israel. Economy Minister Nir Barkat and Indian Ambassador J.P. Singh also participated in the talks. https://vinnews.com/2025/11/23/israel-approves-plan-to-bring-bnei-menashe-community-from-india-by-2030/
WHO ARE THE BNEI MENASHE:
The “Bnei Menashe” include up to 7000 people in two states in north-eastern India: Manipur and Mizoram. People in this small sect within the local Christian population considers themselves to be descendants of Manmasi, “the lost son of the God”. They would come to believe that this legendary “Manmasi” was actually the Hebrew “Menashe”. Some of their religious and cultural customs closely resemble Jewish ones, such as a weekly day of rest on Saturdays and a strict prohibition on eating pork.

In 1981, Israeli Rabbi Eliyahu Avichail, a Zionist rabbi who researched and wrote extensively about the lost tribes, visited the Bnei Menashe in India and recognized them as descendants of the lost Jewish tribe of Menashe. He assisted the first groups of the community’s youth move to Israel, where they underwent the process of giyur to officially convert to Judaism. For many Bnei Menashe, the move represented a radical change in lifestyle. This change was especially drastic because most Bnei Menashe had belonged to a tribal society and lived in poverty in India. In 2005 the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel officially recognized their Jewish roots, and in 2006 they were all allowed to make Aliyah if they wished. However, upon arriving in Israel they are still required to convert to be officially recognized as Jewish by the Orthodox Rabbanut.
The relationship between these north-eastern India tribes and the ancient lost tribes of Israel, however, remains doubtful. Most on the anthropologists believe that Bnei Menashe developed their self-identification under the influence of the Christian preaching. DNA tests seem to show no evidence of Middle Eastern roots of the Bnei Menashe or any genetic relationship with modern Jews. Read More: https://yomyom.co/episode-14-bnei-menashe/

Eisav Will be Bereft of Blessing :
Unfolding now
Or HaChayim, [Artscroll: Bereishis] Toldos p89:
All of the blessings with which [Yitzchak] blessed [Eisav] would be fulfilled when he would serve his brother, Yaakov.
However, when it will occur that he descends from this plateau of enjoying these blessings [...] in any event the point is that Eisav will find himself bereft of blessing, ........for when you [Eisav} had previously cast off the yoke of [Yaakov] ..... for when you cease to serve Yaakov, the ultimate result will be that you will descend into oblivion.
[...] For at that time of Eisav's downfall, The Heavens will be glad and the earth will rejoice (Tehillim 96:11).
NOTE: to me the above could apply to our current scenario: the seeming reversal of Trump from openly serving Yaakov [Israel (Netanyahu)] and instead beginning to serve others [Abraham Accords and possible 'non-entity state in the center of Eretz Yisrael, the Holy Land of Hashem] you will descend into oblivion [IOW - fall from your previous blessed position of aiding and supporting Israel].

המשך מסע ברחבי העולם בו גייסו סכומים אדירים למען הצלת עולם התורה, אך ב"ה עולם התורה גדול ועצום ומתרבה כל העת, וצריכים סכומים נוספים לקיום עולם התורה, והדינר שנערך במודיעין עילית, נועד לצרף את נדיבי ארץ ישראל להשתתפות בהצלת עולם התורה, בשיאו של המעמד האזינו בדומיה בהדרת הכבוד למנהיג היהדות החרדית אשר נושא את עולם התורה, שזעק מול הגזירות ועורר וביקש מהנדיבים לשאת כתף למענם, כי זוהי הצלת קיום גם למען הצאצאים שלהם. להלן הדברים המרטיטים:
ברשות מרנן הגאונים שליט"א.
התאספתם נאספים נכבדים בענין קרן עולם התורה, ידוע מה שהשלטונות והערכאות כאן קיפחו את חלקם, ורודפים בחמת זעם מקצצים את הכל ורודפים, אתם יודעים את זה די טוב, לא צריך לספר לכם דברים ידועים, ולכן בחוץ לארץ בארצות הברית ובאירופה, נתאספנו שם ונאספו סכומים גדולים סכומים אדירים.
אבל צריך להמשיך, נתנו והכל נגמר, וכאן אנחנו באים אליכם, אתם בעלי היכולת שה' יתן לכם כפל כפליים בארץ ישראל, לילדים שלכם, בשבילכם אתם עושים את זה, בשביל הצאצאים שלכם, זה יסגר לא יהיה לכם ישיבות לילדים, לא יהיה לכם שום דבר, לעצמכם אתם עושים את זה, לא בשביל... בחוץ לארץ עשו למען ארץ ישראל, כאן בשבילכם, אתם צריכים להחלץ כפליים, לא צריך לדבר אליכם.
ה' יעזור לכם יהיה לכם כפל כפליים שפע על גבי שפע, אבל אתם עושים למען עצמכם, וה' יעזור לכם שיהיה לכם כל טוב, ותצליחו בכל הצלחות, ותתנו כפל כפליים לכל הדבר עם כל הקשיים, ה' יתן שלא יהיה קשיים והכל יהיה טוב הכל בעזרת ה', תתנו למען עצמכם למען הילדים שלכם למען הצאצאים שלכם, כל טוב לכולם, ה' יברך אותכם בשפע, ויהיה כל טוב ונזכה כולנו במהרה לגאולה שלימה בקרוב אמן.
