00:00:01.983 --> 00:00:35.051
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.

00:00:35.051 --> 00:00:39.609
You see her separating the dough she makes the bracha.

00:00:39.609 --> 00:00:47.582
It's brought in niviam about the special zghus of her froshas khala to bring blessing into the home.

00:00:47.582 --> 00:00:51.945
Then you see Mrs Megidish, megidish, megidish.

00:00:51.945 --> 00:00:55.732
This is Margoliet Megidish.

00:00:55.732 --> 00:00:59.119
Launch into this tefila.

00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:12.865
You can't help but cry as you watch this mother crying, helpless, hopeless but somehow hopeful tears to Hashem.

00:01:12.865 --> 00:01:18.251
Please bring back all of the hostages, those abducted.

00:01:18.251 --> 00:01:19.635
Please bring back my daughter.

00:01:19.635 --> 00:01:34.487
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.

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:43.710
Rabiruchim once spoke after one of his talmidim had a 105 fever.

00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:49.688
He was on his deathbed and when his mother came to Rabiruchim and said how can this be?

00:01:49.688 --> 00:01:58.816
Please let me daven for an immaculate recovery for my son In Yeshiva's mirror in the shul, rabiruchim allowed it all.

00:01:58.816 --> 00:02:09.647
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?

00:02:09.647 --> 00:02:14.046
He is my only son and I sent him to Yeshiva so we should become close to you.

00:02:14.046 --> 00:02:19.920
I sent him to learn about Rabiruchim and now you're going to take him from me crying bitterly.

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:25.709
When she left he went back to see her son and it was a miracle.

00:02:25.709 --> 00:02:26.731
Of course he had gotten better.

00:02:26.731 --> 00:02:29.003
Rabiruchim gave a drashi, gave a shmuz.

00:02:29.003 --> 00:02:38.611
He said it isn't even a miracle, he didn't do anything special, she just prayed a real tafila and al-Avayah.

00:02:38.611 --> 00:02:45.530
We should pray like this and watching this video, what a beautiful tafila from the mother.

00:02:45.530 --> 00:02:48.923
And it worked out this time.

00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:59.955
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.

00:02:59.955 --> 00:03:05.250
I'm not implying that, but what I am trying to show from Rabiruchim is that this is a real tafila.

00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:14.361
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.

00:03:14.361 --> 00:03:18.110
I am completely and utterly hopeless without you.

00:03:18.110 --> 00:03:19.412
You are my only hope.

00:03:21.383 --> 00:03:25.050
And you cry and you say Hashem, please, please, please, please, please.

00:03:25.050 --> 00:03:33.985
I am going to ask Hashem hundreds, hundreds, over 500 times the same thing, crying please let me in, please let me into Eretzisroh.

00:03:33.985 --> 00:03:35.442
That's a tafila.

00:03:35.442 --> 00:03:43.491
So pray like Mrs Megidish, how she taught us how to pray.

00:03:43.491 --> 00:03:58.865
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.

00:03:58.865 --> 00:04:08.743
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.
