Everything that is happening to the world is coming to signal to us
The Holy One, Blessed be He, brings floods upon the world, brings fire, and sometimes strikes the world with fire — all of these are signals meant for us! For the people of Israel!

from the Hebrew video of 4 Elul 5786
Now, during this month [Elul], the Holy One, Blessed be He, shines a special light upon the Jewish people.
"Seek Hashem while He may be found" [Yishayahu 55:6] — "while He may be found" means "the ten days of repentance "Call upon Him while He is near" — these are those days. A special, holy light shines. A person who awakens merits to utilize it.
What happens? On the great and awesome Day of Judgment [Rosh Hashanah], we all pass before the Holy One, Blessed be He, like travelers on the steep and narrow ascent of Beit Maron (kivnei maron). Everyone ascends a steep path with an abyss on one side and an abyss on the other.
Along the way, a person has a wife, children, businesses, and everyone surrounding him. If he receives a small blow, he plummets down — an accident! Who can know what will happen?
Woe unto us!
They are signaling to us from Heaven! What are all these fires across the entire world? The whole world is ablaze, the whole world is flooded! "Through fire and through water..." [Psalms 66:12]. A deluge! People are drowning in water!
There are places where entire cities have been evacuated due to wildfires! There are places where rain falls, hail falls... as if it were a flood! There is mudslides and dust... Wow, let me tell you!
The Holy One, Blessed be He, brings floods upon the world, brings fire, and sometimes strikes the world with fire — all of these are signals meant for us! For the people of Israel!
Awaken! Move! Why are you sleeping? Now is the time! Now is the great and awesome Day of Judgment when everything is decreed for the New Year! What, do you want to sleep?! What do you plan to do?!
