0:01 By this time you've probably already seen the very real, heavy and emotional video of the mother of Ori Megidish I don't know if I'm saying that name right, but one of the passages taken by the cruel Hamas terrorists and how the video depicts the mother who has accepted upon herself the mitzvah of her froshas khala. You see her separating the dough she makes the bracha. It's brought in niviam about the special zghus of her froshas khala to bring blessing into the home.
0:47 Then you see Mrs Megidish, megidish, megidish. This is Margoliet Megidish. Launch into this tefila. You can't help but cry as you watch this mother crying, helpless, hopeless but somehow hopeful tears to Hashem. Please bring back all of the hostages, those abducted. Please bring back my daughter. As you watch it, one can't help but have the feeling of their just witnessing tefila for one of the first times, where at least this is what tefila should look like.
1:36 Rabiruchim once spoke after one of his talmidim had a 105 fever. He was on his deathbed and when his mother came to Rabiruchim and said how can this be? Please let me daven for an immaculate recovery for my son In Yeshiva's mirror in the shul, rabiruchim allowed it all. The bachram left and the mother went in and she ripped open the arun kodesh and she prostrated herself upon the floor and she said Hashem, please, how could you do this? He is my only son and I sent him to Yeshiva so we should become close to you. I sent him to learn about Rabiruchim and now you're going to take him from me crying bitterly.
2:19 When she left he went back to see her son and it was a miracle. Of course he had gotten better. Rabiruchim gave a drashi, gave a shmuz. He said it isn't even a miracle, he didn't do anything special, she just prayed a real tafila and al-Avayah. We should pray like this and watching this video, what a beautiful tafila from the mother. And it worked out this time. And in no way am I trying to imply that some don't pray like this, or if we'd all pray like this, everything good would come and all of the hostages would be returned.
2:59 I'm not implying that, but what I am trying to show from Rabiruchim is that this is a real tafila. This is what a tafila looks like when you look and you aim your tafila to Hashem and you say I have nowhere else to go, I have nothing else to do. I am completely and utterly hopeless without you. You are my only hope. And you cry and you say Hashem, please, please, please, please, please. I am going to ask Hashem hundreds, hundreds, over 500 times the same thing, crying please let me in, please let me into Eretzisroh. That's a tafila. So pray like Mrs Megidish, how she taught us how to pray.
3:43 Hopefully, if we pray like this for the ashuos the salvation of the hostages that are still stuck in Hamas, hopefully all of their mothers and their parents should be able to greet their children back home really, really soon. And if we pray like this, the way Mrs Megidish taught us how to pray, we should all see the ashuos that we really, really need and are looking for very, very soon in our days.
