This is the reason Hashem chose us in this generation to go through a test that no Jewish community ever went through. We are the first ones ever, ever, to go through such a test with phones and the internet. We're the first generation that has the zechut, that has the honor to fight back. No Jewish community ever in history had a chance to fight such a test as the one we have in our generation.

Even in my time, when I was in high school, when I was in 8th grade, nobody had these phones in their pockets. You wanted to get a computer, you had to wait in line; it was like a whole shit. You wanted to check the news, and it was a whole, “Oh wow, it’s slow; nothing is moving, nothing is going on.” Now everybody has it in their pockets—the test. And that was what, in 10 years? I’m not that old; I’m just 10, 30. It was like this: everything moves so fast, and the test is getting harder and harder and harder.

Nobody ever had such a test as the one our teenagers and young adults have in this generation: to control the world, to control your eyes, and to control their desires. It’s such a big test. And for whoever does pass that nisayon (test), you have to understand: Hashem says, “I was the one who put you through such a situation, a test, in the first place. I made the test so strong because I believe in you, specifically our generation, to beat that test.” That’s why I know our generation had that test. And by the way, that’s going to bring Mashiach (Messiah).
