what is the 13 principles of Faith let's
start from zero right by the way in
Hebrew this is
called if you're fry you sing this on
like Friday night after Shabbat Services
have you ever done
this you do cuz you want
FY okay by the way this is at the end of
your every single morning in chakar
because this is such a foundation of
Judaism as you're going to see in a
little bit when I'm going to teach you
an introduction that is going to last
for the next three or four classes okay
that this is the foundation of Judaism
and therefore you're supposed to say
this every single day so you will not
forget this and you know this by heart
every single day you know you implant
this in your heart this is the 13
foundations this is why by the way in
Hebrew it's called Anar iar means the
main thing if you don't have this you
don't have the main thing it's like
having a lemon mering pie without the
base does that work
maybe but it doesn't work without the
lemon does it or without the mering
actually it doesn't work without
anything CU it's a lemon mering pie each
Single part it's important and now I
want to eat some lemon mering okay great
this was written by the rambam anyone
ever heard of the rambam be moson don't
get confused there is the r and there is
the ran okay it sounds the same cuz I am
Spanish but is not one of them is also
known ason RAB Moshe benon is this one
and then there is ran which is RAB
Moshe is okay so this is written by RAB
Moshe benon also known as myON if you
ever open up the you're going to see
that all of the big big rabbis had like
very famous names you know there is
these big rabbis who wrote the G the
Mish they're called tanim these the
biggest rabbis right I don't know if you
ever heard of them you're going to see
that in the Tor in the in the gar we
practically have no rabi Moshe it
doesn't exist now everyone it's called
Moshe but in the time of the G in the
time of the temple practically no one in
the world was called rabim Moshe why was
no one called rabi Moshe because people
had so much respect for this name cuz
you couldn't live up to it then no one
ever was called rabim Mo and then came
the ram there is a famous pastor
from Moshe or Moses like you would call
him till Moses there was no one like
Moses you know there is a PUK like this
it's saying that there was no one ever
like MOS our rabbis understanded as from
Moses of Moshe Ru till Moses from RAB
Moshe Monas there was no one like Moshe
there were the two people that most
affected if you want to call it that way
that in like the highest ways you could
ever imagine where Moshe and Myon it's
as if when myON you know and you're
gonna see he wrote the book he did these
things he gave us these fundamentals of
like how do you learn Tora that affected
the Tor forever actually whatever it's
considered Jewish Orthodox whatever you
want it's according to his 13 principles
of Faith it's not according of how long
your sced is or whatever you want it's
all dependent on this you know Rim myON
he affected that so much but by the way
you're going to see from my class his
ideas were so crazy that during his
lifetime everyone wanted to like kill
him and said he was a a picus a heretic
whatever you want because you know one
you're going to see but one of the
principles of of faith says God has no
body so now it is easier for us to
understand this but in the T it is
written the hand of God the back of God
so everyone was like okay God has no
body but he needs to have something and
and my monus comes and says no what are
you making up like this doesn't work
that you know our RAB tell us that in
his time people would take his writings
and burn it because they thought he was
an aorus like how could you be teaching
all of this stuff that for sure has
nothing to do with that until there was
one famous Rabbi cor he wrote a book
called sh the gates of repentance and
people say that this book was written in
order to ask forgiveness from the Ramba
because everyone realized that he was
saying all of these crazy ideas but
really everything is In N D so as you
could see there was no one that affected
that Tora from Moshe Moshe from MOS ra r
ever ever affected D so much and
therefore this is a fundamental if
you're Jewish and you don't know this I
don't know where you belong you
understand you need to know this this is
a fundamental not because I am teaching
it but probably this is one of the most
important class you'll hear also cuz I
am teaching it but you're GNA see that
this pretty much ask and answers every
single question you've ever had about
anything that's fundamental in Judaism
right also we know that ramban wrote a
very famous book called
has anyone ever heard this book or m t
it deals with every single little thing
about Judaism by the way if you're spy
you follow something called if you're
ASI you follow something called the on
the or whatever it is all of this is
based on the rambam so pretty much
everything that we have is based on the
rambam then if you're a woman and you
want to do some Diet there is the diet
of the rambam okay don't die yet so this
is fundamentals again so now just a few
important ideas about this all of this
fun fals of Faith are based on the Tora
and in your logic now as you're going to
see this is principles that cannot be
proven because we lack any understanding
any tools but the only way you could
prove this is through your brain being
that it's through your brain I'm going
to teach you lots of logic lots of
philosophy and then you're goingon to go
like okay I don't get it this GNA blow
your mind I have $20 in my pocket and
know this so let me blow your mind
okay there is a famous song was from
like 50 Cent or something but right so
this is going to go it's a lot but you
have to hear it it responds all of the
questions great we're going to go into
this in a second but now let's start
what are the 13 principles of Faith
let's start from zero there is a famous
mishna that says the following
right has anyone ever heard this all of
Israel has a portion in the world to
come and then it says and these are the
ones that don't have a portion this is
what it says all of Israel has a portion
in the world to come no we're not there
yet and these are the ones that don't
have a portion so our rabbis asked wait
you're just saying all of Israel has a
portion and then you're saying these are
the ones that don't have a portion and
explains cuz all of Israel has AB
portion meaning if you behave like
Israel if you have that which makes you
Israel you have a portion in the world
to come but you might lose this and you
might not have it how do you lose the
portion in the world to come right and
this is very important so we know that
we are made out of a body and a soul
your soul wants to connect to God if it
search for connection for spirituality
for all of these things then it's going
to connect if it doesn't then it's not a
punishment it's just a consequence if I
never connected if I never develop my
soul then obviously I'm not going to
have a place in the world to come
because the world to come it's only for
the soul it's not really for the body
those of you that were with us last week
then you got principle number 13 where
we spoke about this right so the rambam
says on what is it dependent that you're
going to be called Israel right this is
a good question how do you belong to a
Jewish people and he answers like this
quote whoever keeps follows and believes
on the 13 principles of Faith even if he
does not keep all of the mitv he might
even be eating pig and I mean you'll be
punished for that but even if you ate
Pig you still belong to a Jewish people
and to a community of God but
right if you do not believe and do not
follow the 13 principles of Faith even
if you follow the 63 Commandments you do
not belong to a Jewish people or the
community of God it is you called a
heretic someone that uprooted the plants
and it's a Mitzvah to hate you okay this
is what that says so pretty much all of
your belonging to Jewish people is
dependent on the 13 principles of Faith
by the way I'm not going to go through
this yet but if you ever see a lot of
sects of Judaism like reform
conservative all of these things what
they did was that they negated some of
these principles now obviously if you're
born Jewish you're still Jewish whatever
you want right but if I negate what
makes me Jewish or if I convert into
something that is not really Judaism
then I'm not really called Jewish what
does it means to be called Jewish at the
end of the day in a practical sense the
following and the understanding and the
believing of these 13 principles of
faith and you're going to see this we're
going to go into this in a few minutes
you're going to see that a lot of people
do not believe in this because they
don't think of it as being logic or
they're too far away or whatever you
want but the r says you believe in this
you're part of the community of God you
don't believe you're not part of the
community of God now this is not a
punishment this is a consequence if I am
opening a club and it's from 20 to 30
years old and you're 35 can you join no
it's not cuz I have something personal
against you you're just 35 you
understand if I have Judaism and has
these foundations and I don't do it and
you're going to see again I'm going to
go into each one these foundations are
most then I might want to be Jewish I
might want to belong to a club you know
but I am not part of it just because I
don't have the conditions which makes me
part of it so now the question is why
these 13 principles and not any other
principle by the way this is the same
question as with lots of things you know
for example we know we have 10
commandments yes the Ten Commandments
everyone thinks why are the 10 command
The Ten Commandments everyone thinks
this because they're the 10 most
important this is not true you know
there's a famous guy called and he sings
a song you
know what does he
says according to R what's the most
important Mah in the whole entire Tora
loving your neighbor like yourself did
that make it into a Ten Commandments no
so why are the Ten Commandments The Ten
Commandments and no other Commandments
you ever thought about this you should
know why it's important why are these
the Ten Commandments the 10 commandments
nine and the months before a baby's born
eight of the days of the Bri Chop Chop
okay yeah um because uh the Ten
Commandments all contain the rest of the
6 why because they all fit into
different categories of The Commandments
and they're like kind of a foundational
thing that is true right but why do they
all have in common so Tor says all of
the Ten Commandments have one Mitzvah in
common and the whole entire Tor it's
included in that one Mitzvah which is
the Mitzvah ofuna right you created in
the image of God right there's a God
first of all right you cannot steal
because God you cannot there's every
single commandment talks about what it
means to have AA what it means to
believe and follow God if at the end of
the day I have AA you're going to see
this do I keep the whole entire Tora or
will I keep or whatever yes by the way
lots of people say they have they don't
really right so the Ten Commandments all
deal with the concept of God this is why
the first commandment says I am the Lord
your God that's not a commandment no
that is because the me the real
commandment is beli in God there is a
God now why do these 13 principles and
nothing else so the Tora tells us and
we're going to go into it the 13
principles deal with the two main ideas
of the whole entire Tor number one who
or what is God okay okay and number two
how do I relate to God okay this is the
13 principles of Faith they deal with
these two ideas again who or what is God
okay and how do I relate to him can I
have Judaism if I don't know who God is
can I have Judaism if I don't know how
to relate to God obviously not because
the whole purpose of life is to come
into this world in order to have a
relationship with God but how can I
relate to God if I don't even know who
no good and therefore the Tor says this
is the fundamentals because they deal
with the two ideas of which all of the
Tora is about I'll give you an example
there is this masal this metaphor there
was once these two poor people that were
dying of starvation so they didn't know
what to do they needed to get money
quick so they started thinking what can
we do in order to make money so they
decided you know what we should do let's
take someone we dress him up as a king
and we go into a city and we say long
leave the king long leave the king what
do people do when when kings come into a
city they throw flowers they throw
jewelry they throw money right so they
said what should we do listen to what
should we do we're going to take someone
we're going to dress him up as a king
you and I are going to be the entage
we're going to go everywhere yelling
long live the king long leave the king
people are going to throw out his money
great will be rich so what do they do
these two poor people they take a donkey
you know like the one from Shrek they
dress him up and they put a crown on top
of his head they put him on a chair and
they go yelling all over the city long
leave the king long leave the King right
everyone is so excited the king is
coming through their cities they start
throwing at them money coins flowers and
other things
okay a week later the real King finds
out what happens and he sends a decree
that everyone in the city is going to
die why Rebellion against the kingdom
they bow down and gave all of this
jewelry to an impostor that wasn't the
king so everyone in the city starts
crying out they start yelling they go to
a King to beg for mercy and they say Mr
King you should feel like so happy you
should take it as a compliment
everything we did we only did because we
thought she was the king shouldn't you
take it as a compliment imagine
everything we did for this guy it's only
because we thought he was you you know
you should really take this as like a
good thing the king starts yelling and
says that's exactly why I'm so angry if
they would have taken a normal animal a
normal person and you think he's the
king I get it you don't know how I look
like but the fact that they took a
donkey and pretend that the donkey was
the king and you confuse me with a
donkey there's no greater insult and
rebellion in the world than confusing a
king with the donkey says
the same thing if you're serving a God
and this is very important what I'm
going to tell you right now and you have
no idea which God you're serving that's
the biggest insult in the world if you
are having a relationship with someone
and you don't know how they want you to
have a relationship with them that's the
greatest insult in the world because the
whole point of our relationship is I
want to make you happy but if I could
care less about what makes you happy
then how am I having a relationship
right and therefore the 13 principles
are get to know God so you could relate
to God by the way this is a huge problem
in Judaism nowadays I always say we have
people that are from we have people that
are not from the people are not from
you're doing K you're getting them close
the people that are from they have no
idea what they're doing they have no
idea what is it that you know like
there's no joy there's no happiness
there's no relationship cuz they don't
even know God how how can you love and
fear a God that you do not know you
understand there is a Mitzvah in the
Tora says the ram to love and fear God
but how can I love and fear a God that I
do not even know the greatest insult you
could either ever give to God is to
replace him or to confuse him with
someone that is not him you understand
this is the greatest insult you could
ever do to God now there's a famous
Rabbi called rashim Chan pinkos you know
he's like the V go of this generation
bet whatever he was very big but no one
knew he was that big until he died then
he became famous like the Princess Diana
whatever you want all of these books are
published okay I love rafin Pinkus so
raon Pinkus ask a question and he says
right in what way we know that in the
Tora there is this like idea that every
generation it's like a monkey in
consideration with the generation before
like meaning there is this concept in
Hebrew
called every generation lower and lower
and lower than the generation before so
raus ask a question and he says by men
it is easy to understand how it's always
a lower generation none of the rabbis
nowadays are like RAV you know like none
of the rabbis of RAV were like the V you
know like none of them were like the ra
no none of them were like M but in what
way are the women in a lower generation
and have you ever noticed this you guys
are sitting here learning to
you know what women used to do 80 years
ago laundry by hand no one knew any word
of tat you understand this right people
you know nowadays if you're from you
jakar
you you know you have like a neckline
that practically covers your head you
wear a burka the Taliban women like
people are from you know like you know
what they used to 90 years ago change
diapers imagine they were all by hand
you know there was no pills like really
women didn't women used to do clothing
kill the chickens was no you know they
used to kill and sell their own chickens
so really we're doing so great I always
tell my students if you were here in a
shanai and you learned here for like two
months you know more than any woman that
lived 100 Year 100 years ago like for
real maybe you don't keep it but you
know more than all of them so how could
it be that we're in a lower generation
so you know what ra CH pinku says ra CH
pinku says you know what's the
difference when nowadays you go and you
take a and you're gonna say this is how
you look you look like this and then
you're like oh no no oh you know and
you're like thinking about candy cr
suddenly you remember you're M you're
like oh wait you know like oh it's like
5 to7 I need to haveen but really inana
there's no heart in anything that you do
you ever noticed this there's no heart
there's no happiness there's no
relationship so really we know more but
we do less because everything we know we
really don't know the main thing you
know what we don't know we don't know
God you know it's a problem in our
generation no relationship with God
whatsoever if you ever go out there is a
famous uh person nowadays that he
published a very big book anonymously
because he didn't wanted people to read
his book just because he wrote it but
it's like best seller in Israel right
now everyone should get it I always
recommend this book it's called building
a sanctuary in the heart has anyone ever
heard of this book bil
mishkan building a sanctuary in the
heart the greatest book hit these days
you know what it talks about how to have
a relationship with God it's so funny
because all of Judaism it's in order to
have a relationship with God but how do
you people say in English when you see
the forest and you miss the trees is it
the opposite I don't know Sam how do you
say this you you see them trees and you
forget the forest you know all of the
details yes whatever the forest and
trees relationship all of the point of
Judaism is hard to get to know God but
apparently he saw that there is this
like disease in the Jewish World we
don't really have a relationship with
God and part of that is because we don't
know God again how can you have a
relationship with someone you don't even
know you know there's that famous
repetin in Israel if you ever hear about
her go to her class she's the best I
don't like almost anyone I love her
she's called
R have you ever heard of her top maybe
she should give me some commission if
you ever look at me raban come here
right but she always says that in the
Tora there is a nation that represents
evil anyone knows what nation this is we
don't have any markers so you are all
going to hold this in your brain okay is
the nation of Amal Amal represents evil
okay you cannot have a god fully in this
world until you erase a Malik meaning
God is there F but you cannot perceive
him we're lacking in our understanding
of God so say why why do you have to
erase Amal you know by the way if you
remember Amal you go to me and they say
ham okay the week before you read about
Amal and you go
Amal okay this is the funnest part this
is like if you're not religious at least
you know you have to go like this okay
and it's very exciting the point is what
did Amal do okay so the pasuk
says you should erase the memory of am
because they made you called in the way
okay this is what it says they made you
called literally it also means they
forced themselves upon you but it also
means they made you cold okay so says
what does it means they made you cold so
first explanation not that one for my
class but anyways I have to teach you
everything it's like when you have a
very very very hot jacuzzi and then you
go in and you get burned and this is
horrible but then what happens after you
burn yourself the next person already
has a CO cooler temperature yes because
the first person cool it up for everyone
else this was a Malik when the Jewish
people went out of Egypt no one wanted
to mess up with them cuz Jewish people
are like you know heul and then what
happened and Mal says you know what I'm
going to make them in uh not
Invincible no if you're not Invincible
what is the opposite of being
invincible vincible no does that make
sense
defeated that they could be defeated you
know what if I don't know English it's
okay but the fact that you people don't
know English that's really sad no one
knows English what's it you're
Invincible or
you're
huh
vable vulnerable no not really but fine
vulnerable he wanted to make them all
vulnerable this was said by Ellie okay
you I not only she brings me chocolate
she also completes my
sentences you're just too good to be
true and take my ass off of you okay but
what is the point so what did Amal did
the Jewish people came out of Egypt they
were Invincible they said no we're going
to take away that status they went to
fight with the Jewish people even though
they knew they were going to lose just
so that they could make them more
vulnerable so other people would
wouldn't be afraid of Jewish people
great
says a different idea you know what AM
did they made you they made us cold you
know what cold
means you don't care about anything
you're cold towards everything in
different nowadays this is our sickness
we're just cold ah this is cute this is
not cute like nothing moves you you have
no feelings towards anything you know
have you ever played this game where
your little kid is looking for something
if they get closer you say warm warm hot
hot if they get farther away why do you
say cold that's us we're far away very
very cold this is why I'm not going to
go into it but when the Jewish people
needed salvation who did they use in
order to bring mercy of God children
they were ding cuz children cannot be
called towards anything either they like
you or they don't you understand what
I'm saying mommy she's fat
poor girl you killed her but that's the
way it is Mommy why does she look so
ugly what about being politically
correct no politically correct children
either feel it or they don't they either
like your food and eat the whole thing
or don't like it and spit it you
understand you cannot be C either you
like it or the opposite is you won't
like it there's no middle way for us you
understand and again why are we called
CU when you don't know what you're
looking for you're always cold you're
always far away right and therefore
that's what we are understanding this is
why right this is what the 13 principles
speak about everyone get your
pages I'm going to do this with you just
one second so you know what this is
about the 13 principles are divided into
three main groups now I'm not going to
teach them to you you do not need to
translate now because we're going to do
this later when I do teach them to you
but I just want you to know some of the
questions that are going to come up so
that you understand why you need to
learn this okay the first five
principles
deal with one main idea existence and
nature of God so everything that the
first five principles speak about is who
and what is God okay so you have number
one that God is the main existence and
everything comes from him right we know
that all of science says no there was
always matter and form God wasn't how
could you have God that never had a
beginning because everything in the
world has a beginning and everyone
always goes but what was first and who
created God you ever had this question
and what is God and who was before God
I'm going to answer all of this
according to a Tor according to logic by
the way I always tell people if you're
not able to express an idea it's because
you don't know it if I would ask you
right now do you know if God exists and
you would tell me yes and then I tell
you how do you know this and you cannot
answer this you do not know this you
know by the way there is a famous P
we're going to go into it later that
says know what to answer to a heretic
you ever heard this there's a famous P
it says know how to answer to a heretic
AIC everyone knows what a heretic is
someone that doesn't believe in God you
say heretic heretic thank you to my
other house heretic so now what happens
when I was like not OFA one time I read
this and I was like I never met a
missionary in my life like why do I need
to know how to answer to a heretic you
know most of us will'll never meet like
missionaries you know I'm not going to
go out there to try to convert
people like we're cool but you know what
that say deep know how to answer to the
heretic in you do you ever have
questions all of us do when life is hard
when things are not going your way
you're going to have questions when
someone else comes and they know what
they're saying even though they're
making a mistake but it sounds good
you're going to wonder everything you're
saying and if you don't really know it
you're going to go out you know how much
people we have that are grow up
religious and then leave it or convert
to other religions or whatever you want
how could it be cuz you don't really
know it you only know if you know
something if you're able to express it
if you're not able to express it you do
not know it by the way how do you get to
know something that to says your
intellect needs to teach your soul you
ask a question out loud and you answer
it out loud okay so even though you know
know there is one God you need to answer
it out loud for your soul to believe it
you understand number two God is one
people always say wait is God is one
okay there's an obvious question how
does he makes evil oh so it must be that
God is also evil because there is um
because evil is also so in in the world
no what does it means that God is one
what one is a number only what does one
means one means everything it's included
in God so then how could you have one
God and still have evil in the world and
still have places that there there's no
God right all of that we're going to
discuss okay that God has no body no
form so people tell me how does God
looks by the way everyone in the world
imagines God as something maybe as a
cloud maybe as a voice maybe I don't
know what every person that does this
this is considered idol worship God has
no body no form no shape so how do we
understand when n tells you the back of
God God s God heard we're going to go
you know also the question where is God
right is God somewhere is got not
somewhere in order to be somewhere do
you have to have a body how do you
understand this I had a student one time
when I was a m do not get traumatized
but this actually happened so I had a
little girl she was seven when this
happened she came to me in minina when
she was 19 okay like a mini mini dress
mini mini mini dress you know what I'm
saying okay the point is right and she
grew up F from birth very f one time the
teacher was singing to her a famous song
you have this song in English you do I
is hasm is there Hashem is truly
everywhere up up down down whatever east
south north W okay so everyone sings
this song and it's a very happy child
but this child is a smart child so she
asked a question seven years old she
said how could Hashem be everywhere is
Hashem also in the toilet that's a good
question so the teacher says AEM is
everywhere so she says but the toilet is
dirty aen can be in the toilet the
teacher gave her a candy and says don't
ask more questions by the way did you
ever ask this question this a good
question what's the
answer what's the answer yes can God be
in something dirty at the toilet so why
don't you put amuz in the
toilet
ahting but if has is in the toilet
wouldn't it be the same thing if you put
in the toilet you want to be there you
don't want him to be there only when
you're doing number one not number two n
I'm joking no not number one really how
could you say that God is in the toilet
is God in a piece of like number
two so it's a good question I'm going to
answer
no no and yes but you can't ask this
question what is the question right so
we're going to deal with this okay but
again even if you don't have this
question because you have a lot OFA
we're also going to talk about this how
do you know you're not going to get a
smart child like me you know then you
become a teacher okay but what is the
point that's a very big question not
people ask this question they don't get
an answer number five that God was the
beginning of everything and created
everything from zero right
yes number five that God preceded and
created everything you know that famous
question who was here first the chicken
or the egg and then everyone goes mad
trying to answer none of them were first
because God created everyone how do you
know that God created everything how do
you know right and again we're going to
see it through science through
everything God created everything that's
the first five principles again they
deal with the nature and existence of
God number the next uh five principle
the next four principles okay they deal
with the authenticity of Tor how do you
know that Tor is true hasn't been
changed and we haven't intact you ever
asked this question by the way if the
Tora was pass generation from generation
how do we know that Tora is what God
wanted it to be by the way there's an
even obvious question you have to keep
613 rules from the Tor how do you know
God wrote them how do you know so the
first we're in principle 6 s 89 yes the
next four six is we believe in Prophecy
why is it so important to believe in
Prophecy because how did you get all of
the toath through what through what
through prophecy so how do you know that
those prophets were prophets and not for
example yes
cuz according to Christians isn't Yeshua
a prophet how do you know he wasn't how
do you know whoever We Know by way you
have to understand this this is huge
everything you do you only believe in it
because of
Prophecy how would you know that is true
principle number seven right oh sorry
principle number five I skipped it that
there is a God and you have to pray to
him whatever that was from the first
five yes there there's a God and you
have to pray to him do everyone prays in
the world no it's a foundation of
Judaism by the way can you be from and
not
pray yes if you don't pray you're not
you're not part of the Jewish people
right the 13 principles of Faith what
does prayer means obviously we'll get
there it doesn't mean you grab a but if
you don't pray you don't have the 13
principles right going back to an next
for okay number eight number seven that
the prophecy of mosu is higher than
everyone else why do you need to know
this guys why do you need to know this
CU all of the Tora was passed through
whom through Moshe and if you don't
really know this and if Moshe is on the
same level than other prophets can
everyone else just cancels mha prophecy
yes because if they're in the same level
each one could cancel each other yes but
if Moshe it's on a higher level can
anyone argue with a teacher by the way
can I tell you something crazy let's say
you believe in the whole giving of the
whatever Moshe said because he had
prophecy do we all believe in Abraham is
and yob was anyone there when this
happened in the giving of the there were
600,000 people everyone saw it you heard
it from your parents whatever you want
yes
abov was anyone there were there 600,000
witnesses to AB anakov no the tells you
everything about their private lives how
do you know it is true listen to what
I'm going to tell you crazy the only
reason why you believe in
abrahamov which by the way are we Jewish
because of
abrahamov yes the only reason listen to
this crazy statement that we believe in
Abraham is and yob was because Moshe
wrote about them you hear this if Moshe
wouldn't write about them in that t we
wouldn't know their true you hear this
the only reason why we believe in the in
anything that happened before Moshe is
because of
Moshe and anything that happens after
Moshe which by the way was Moshe there
no is because of Moshe you understand
this this is crazy so how do I know
really that D is true number eight that
D was given by God how do you know this
you know the other day Sabrina came and
talked to me what are this up with this
dinosaurs business and all of the Giants
how do you know this is true that D
tells you all of these things that by
the way and by the way does doesn't
match with science right and nowadays
everyone believes in science which
anyways I'm going to go into it later
also science doesn't even believe in
itself because they call everything
theories but we'll get into science
later but how do you know that that D is
really completely from God maybe some of
it is from God maybe some of it is not
yes number nine that cannot be changed
or revoked how do you know it still
applies by the way let's say you guys
keep Shabbat right so in Shabbat you do
not turn electricity
was there electricity when when we went
out of Egypt how do you know you cannot
do electricity how do you understand all
of this right lots of the things we do
today are nowhere in the tat because
they weren't even created yet right how
do you know and this is a famous
question that reform conservative and
all of these people say the Tora has to
Modern itself with the modernization of
the world if the world changes that Tora
has to be applicable we say no the world
changes applies to whatever the Tor says
and if it doesn't apply then you're not
doing the right thing but now the Tora
didn't had half of the things that are
going on now because we didn't even knew
they were going to go on does that make
sense to everyone so how do we
understand this great last group the
last four
principles deal with the relationship of
man and God and the final sense of
History Final Destination without all of
the blood
okay you ever saw Final
Destination don't look at it you'll
never sleep again okay but what is the
point right the last four principles
deal with the relationship of God and
man and the final sense of History
therefore number 10 God knows all of the
actions and thoughts of man there is the
obvious question if God knows everything
about me how do I have free will yes you
ever had this question okay I'm going to
answer it number 11 go punishes and
rewards according to everything you do
nothing goes unnoticed you know that
means you know there's a p that says
there's an eye that sees you an ears
that listens to you and all of your
Deeds are written in a book an eye that
sees you even when no one looks God
Stills watching you know if I was
invisible yes God is an ear that listens
to you even your inner thoughts what do
you mean God even knows my inner
thoughts right I didn't even say them
you're going to see that God requires
and punishes you for even their thoughts
we see this from the T but now how could
it be they weren't even brought into
actuality because that's part of the
greatness of God right number 12
mashiach is coming does reform and
conservative believe in this no no
number 13 that there's going to be
resurrection of the death reform and
conservative believes in this actually
No One Believes In this this is why if
you ever follow Christian Christianity
why do Christians say that mashiah if
they there is a mhia already came but he
cannot do everything because the Jewish
people don't accept yeshu that died and
he died for our suffering whatever you
want right so all of this we're going to
see so great next time Wednesday we're
going to use this we call this the 13
principles of Faith what is Faith right
is Faith going to church and say I
believe is that what a Muna means no so
we're going to go into what is auna what
is knowledge so that you understand when
you're goingon to leave my class at the
end of five months you'll know
everything okay have a great life we
will see each other on Wednesday
