Economic Update, Religious $ Problems, Guarding Your Eyes, Chumash Basics - STUMP THE RABBI (50)

[Music] we are back in Sunny Al Florida to our for St Rabbi where you guys will ask some questions and will give us some answers to give you the sh tonight will be for a for Leana raan an Ben abah Rael Ben David benri Doris Bora dor Mercedes Esther Bora Sak BBA and all of have so the uh P continues the kiru revolution continues many many people are getting our videos one way or the other gave us a gift where uh he uh not only made usim to deliver Torah in a generation that needs it more than ever but also he gave us different periodic gifts and one of them is this Corona virus not that Shalom we want anyone to die or even get hurt but uh many people are forced over the last couple of months to analyze their life what's the point why am I here what is the what is the purpose of my life okay so I made money now what okay so I got married now what okay so I had kids now what a lot of people are asking themselves this question now what where do I go from you okay so I make money and I'll make more money and I'll lose money and make okay no then what okay get married hopefully stay married then what the kids okay they're cute little little little eventually they grow up and they become big kids and then they have their own lives you can't live vicariously through your your kids forever point is you have to ask yourself why are you here not why all of them are here and if it's about money then what if you didn't have money and if it's about a skill what if that skill was taken away from you you know there's all types of things that people build their life on and one day shakes them up and makes them realize that this pyramid that you built your whole life on in reality was a uh house full of straws that it just didn't work out so this Corona virus is making thank you is Corona virus is making many many people question themselves because a lot of people have seen their uh Foundation collapse and I had one guy contact me really really nice guy said he was making $510 million a year doing all business and so on he says as soon as the whole situation with Corona virus happened pretty much his business went down 99% like right now he's like middle class you're still okay you make 5 $10 million a lot of money so you go down to1 $200,000 a year you're not starving you have food to eat you know what the problem is he doesn't have middle class expenses CU When you have five $10 million income you have five $10 million expenses that kind of Lifestyle so which means that he's struggling even more than people that were making $50,000 $60,000 a year because the debt and the so on he's like I don't know what to do myself what do I do what do I do other people had good jobs 5 10 15 20 year careers the company tells them thank you for your service but we don't need you anymore what do you mean I've been here for 20 years yeah thanks but I thought you guys like me we do that's what was saying thinks people losing their jobs like flies and if you guys think this is the end of it you're you're dreaming simply because right now now is shaking up the world in such a way that the whole system is changing already there's news that major corporations in the technology sector and the engineering sector and many many many other major sectors in the world are now reconsidering their whole thought process behind you know the location of their employees because they're seeing that in reality they don't need their employees to come to these huge multi-million dollar buildings anymore because they do just as much work and maybe even more from home so now they're saying listen so that not only changes our perspective of whether we're going to continue expanding physically as far as buying more buildings but on top of that that also changes our our perspective of whether we even need to hire the local people that you know if you're in New York you're in San Francisco you're in Los Angeles you're in different places like that where it's a high income area you know you want to hire somebody you have to get ready to pay him $150 $200,000 why cuz that's the cost of living but if I'm a company and I have shareholders that are my boss and they want me to make sure that I continuously make more money and I know that I can get an employee for $30,000 $440,000 from India 30,000 40,000 from China 30,000 40,000 from different parts of the world because I don't need him to be next to me and in fact he may be more productive when he's working out of home in some place that's why not and on top of that I'm making money out of that on top of that don't have to pay [Applause] $200,000 who's better than you all of a sudden you become the biggest greatest CEO in the world but what does that mean to the economy you start firing people by the tens of thousands by the tens of thousands the real estate sector will have a major collapse why commercial real estate is going to be affected by this companies are realizing that in reality we don't need all the space we thought we needed all the space because we had a uh you know all these employees companies were buying more and more buildings but in reality now especially in America where it's pretty much a service-based economy you know we don't actually manufacture anything anymore here or barely anything they pretty much provide services so we don't need the physical space anymore I could just hire somebody from different countries from different places for half the money don't need the building so I save money on the building I save money on the electricity all I got to do is send this guy a $500 laptop who's better than you and if you pay him $40,000 a year he happy as can be why because he was making $5 a year over there so we're seeing the reality is that the economy is going to change economy is going to change drastically that also means that the market the stock market's going to change drastically some companies will do extremely well many companies will do poorly for a little while so this means that everybody's so-called nest egg is in question but you won't see this in the market yet I don't follow the market but people tell me what it does I haven't no one's told me what it's doing recently uh at least last couple of weeks but I know that no one's told me it's crashed in the last couple of weeks which means it hasn't crashed but the market is not pricing that in what I'm telling you is not priced in I told everyone when I was in New York right before Corona the market is poised to crash because of all this thing that's happening with Corona that everyone's ignoring that's in essence what started happening but I believe things are going to get much worse why because again it's not necessary that the market that the economy is going to go into a depression even though some very very smart people are saying that the market in the world is going into a depression I don't necessarily think that's the case but that does not mean that the market won't drop 50% and the reason why is because the market has been going up for 10 years in a row and it got to a point where the valuation of major companies has gone so out of hand that they are basing the entire valuation on perfect expectations meaning everything will go perfect there's not going to be any major tornadoes no hurricanes no major financial crisis no uh epidemic nothing everything is going to go perfect well as we've seen the last couple of months nothing's perfect so the price of everything is based on everything being perfect and therefore they're expecting a certain growth rate now now that we see that things are not perfect people just don't know how bad it's going to be because they're assuming maybe as soon as we go back to work in a week in a month and two months and six months whenever that happens things will just go back to how they used to be wrong wrong why because again companies smart people are realizing that their plan needs to change needs to adjust to this new type of economy they don't need the same type of local employees they don't need to pay people as much if I could replace a $200,000 employee for $40,000 $50,000 and I don't have to look at them they'll make the right articles about me how smart I am yeah but you're ruining people's lives okay business is business business is business so now people that were used to all this financial success are questioning where do I go from here same thing goes with people that have gotten sick 25 35 45 years old for all perfectly healthy all of a sudden the person gets sick the question how long I'm going to be in this life why until now I didn't care about life why I figured I'm going to be here 70 80 90 100 years but as soon as a person gets really sick he has to go to the hospital he starts feeling he's going to die starts questioning how long I'm going to be here so a lot of people are getting to this point and were perfectly positioned with the to give people the answers the answer is you're not going to find you never had happiness to begin with you just had a state of being elated excited about different things that were happening happiness you never possessed and anyone that's honest with themselves knows that unless you had toah in your life but not Torah in your life like you went to sh once or twice a week or even every day but you didn't learn Torah happiness comes from learning tah every single day and living by the tah every single day there are some people in the world that learn T every single day but are 100% Kim 100% Heretics and you see it when you know them that they're miserable they learn T but they're very very miserable why because they learn T in order to beat the system it's like someone learning the law in order to find out how to violate the law I learn the tax code to know how to cheat in taxes such a person is as miserable as it gets so people are questioning themselves a lot and they're finding their answers in our you know online has grown dramatically now we have the CD campaign we've already given close to 880,000 CDs in the last couple of weeks since of this new CD we're trying to give out much more hopefully we'll complete another 120,000 uh before shab and and BM some other generous people will come through and uh help us fund the next campaign to try to maybe do 500,000 or maybe a million CDs because so far the people that have gotten the CDs are that actually playing it are giving us fantastic feedback some of them have never heard from us so this the first time they're introduced to our work some of them are familiar but never saw this uh these these movies with this perspective and it's amazing how people are waking up to the truth one guy I spoke to today he says to me listen I've been through my whole life but once I saw your movie I used watch the whole thing he said now in 34 minutes I said okay so you watch the whole thing everybody likes to tell me the time how 34 minutes yeah he says I'm through my whole life but as soon as you started talking about seeing religious people in the casino I said he's right it's true it's true we have something wrong with religious people we have something wrong with us secular people it's a given don't keep Shabbat what's the difference between you and a [ __ ] you don't keep Kash what's the difference between you and Mustafa what's the difference what makes you a Jew my momm is a Jew who said your who said that makes you a Jew then who said that your mom being a Jew and it makes you a Jew the Torah okay Tor keep shabat T keep kosher Tor keep so if you say that what makes you a Jew is your mom made you a Jew that means you have to comply with the rest of the oh I didn't think about it that way okay now you're thinking now you're thinking but the guy said listen Okay the you know the secular we know we have a problem but I never I never saw things the way you said it where the religious communities have a problem why say true we look religious we act religious we do the MIT but unfortunately not everybody is fixed not everybody's 100% you're still gonna see a few guys at the casino you're still gonna see a few guys at the strip club you're still gonna see a few guys cheating in business you're still gonna see I'm saying a few just to be nice the fact that the entire cash advance industry is uh comprised of mainly people that call themselves religious is an embarrassment to am is but out of everyone that I know I'm the only one that spoke against it other rabbis have called me about to talk to me body says we agree with you I said okay you agree with me so make a lecture about it yourself talk about youill no no come on it's not my style what do you mean it's not your style they're killing people they're killing people they're taking people and they're putting them in the condition where these people going to lose every single penny they have the second they miss payment the second their business has a hiccup and they can't make the payment the agreement that they have is simply going to destroy their life people are declaring bankrupt y one of my students that used to be used to be in the cash advanced business told me good news Rabbi I said what's the good news says the cash advance business is collapsing it's collapsing they're all losing money why all of the people it's not like the random one here and there can't make payments no one can make payments so when is one two guys can't make payments you have a lawyer on staff he can handle all the cases pretty much Rob everyone but when all of your clients pretty much can't make payments or a large majority can't make payments guess what happens your lawyer can't handle it and you can't afford to get more lawyers you know why because the bank that was giving you the money to give these people shut you down why you have too many defaults you have too many defaults who wants to lend your people money you're high risk we don't want to lose our money no one can pay this money so now that business is collapsing hopefully it stays this way and gets even worse sadly I don't think that's going to be the case but we could always be optimistic point being is that a lot of those guys are questioning what's okay why do what do I do now so Tora always tells us that you have to comply by the rules now sometimes it's hard for us to understand how do I comply by the rules in this generation why because we think we're something unique we think that we're the only generation that has a yet now the truth is every generation as the generation of yesah the prophet Isaiah had women walking around with high heels and long wigs still didn't look anywhere near as realistic as the ones of today that were trying to entice the gim to be with them when the prophet rebuked them the women responded saying so what Rabbi what are they going to want to do marry us so let them marry us these G so the sages say who are these wicked women the answers these were the wives of the rabbis of the generation that's how bad it was that's how bad it was which means that nothing new Under the Sun nothing new Under the Sun horrible things that happened back then are happening right now I just got a a uh poster embarrassment to to to to a a poster from one of my students in Canada is having an event kabad of Canada is having an event what's an event event you say oh bringing a big Rabbi represent the teachings of the balat represent the teachings of the represent the teachings of a big event no no no we're having an event for the K what's the event we're going to have two people discuss a show that's on television that you are forbidden from watching why it talks about a woman that used to be religious and went off the D and pretty much makes fun of Judaism the entire show we're going to have a talk about this who are the people one of them is our cousin who's also off the we're going to put somebody that's against God on a stage to give her opinion to We've ran out of people that keep Shabbat so we have to pick these people to teach us something next they're going to give you we're going to show you how to dance with women this is what we have and they publicizing like they're proud we're bringing it to the community like it's a good thing should have said we're bringing cancer to the community it's even better but this is what we have this what we talked about in the yesterday page 49b says the place of the of the wise people will become a place of harlots place of zon a place of prostitution immodesty immorality this is what it is when a religious organization that has such a great reputation highlights people that go against God what do you have left what do you have left what's the difference between you and reform what's the difference what's the difference but that's what happens when you don't have strong leaders because people think this Rel this generation is unique we have to cater to the people now how do we know that there's nothing unique about this generation and the yet has existed at all times we have to look at the sages what kind of yet did they have now Sunny God blessed him asked me a question he said if doing kiru and helping people get closer to Hashem is such a big thing how come nobody not everybody's doing it and second question is do the big rabbis have the same why because when you do K Y people do CH it's actually effective as I taught you guys yesterday we learned together the yet himself gets out of the chair and deals with you all types of strange things happen to your life strange emails strange phone calls strange things happen in your life why yet is annoyed by you it's a good thing if he's not annoyed by you it's not a good sign that means you're not doing anything if your competition is not worried about you that means you're not competition the best sign the best sign that you're doing the right thing is when your competition copies you when you make a product your competition makes the same product it's a good sign yeah but I work so hard on it good that means it works and the competition recognizes it if no one's copying you that means what you're doing is not working it's not effective why do you think every single headphone that they sell in the Market's white They're copying Apple why do you think that every drink for many many years was called the coke copying Coca-Cola and so on and so forth good products good things get copied your competition is worried about you he's going to copy you if no one's copying you something's wrong if the yet is not trying to fight you there's something wrong what you're doing is not effective which means if you're doing real K you're helping people really leave the leave the T leave the impurity and go to the kha obviously you're going to have some resistance if there's no resistance you're not doing anything if you don't have have people calling you every single day telling you thank you very much for helping me do chuva if you don't see the world around you change thank you very much for helping us go get a job at the post office now when people don't care about K they just care about money that's a different story that's we'll talk about a little bit more next week now what happen with the sages though what happen if somebody's a big well as you would have it many of our huge were also big rabis one of them his name was you guys heard of right heard of it recognizable name was not only the and also the but he was also an enormous K Rabbi literally was willing to go door too knocking on people's doors trying to help help him do chuva old man 100 years old please just somebody take me door to door will help him do Chua he met one guy one time that was a big donor but was shabat and the guy came to the r to shake his hand shook his hand but didn't let go and you know the guy's holding a holy hand okay don't let go only problem is he started seeing starts to cryy with tears tears I do something wrong what happened you okay it's so bad it's so terrible I can't believe it so horrible so awful and he starts crying somebody's dying what happened for the anything I can do what more money no it's so fat so terrible it's so terrible that this wonderful generous hand is going to be burned in G for forever it's so horrible such a generous hand it's so awful how this generous hand is going to be burned and G home forever what can we do it's so horrible so terrible he's crying like he's he sees his hand burning on fire okay okay fine fine I'll keep Shabbat just give me like five six weeks to set up my businesses and then and then then I'll start keeping Shabbat for for it's for you starts crying even more no way no it's no good less two weeks three weeks go it's my Shabbat it's my shabb my Shabbat tell you do what you want it's not my Shabbat it's so terrible so awful that this generous hand wonderful heart attached to it is going to be burned and gain on forever you see the almost 100 years old start crying you do says this Shabbat I'm keeping from now I keep Shabbat had no shortage of tests when he was writing the Mish he had all types of tests one day his dear son got sick really sick did not slow down he knew that this m has to be written sick no sick we got to do it why needs this Torah son died son died you think okay son died i' say it okay F finished I'm going back I take care of the says out loud and people saw it say what do you think that if you take my son's I'm GNA stop teaching t stop helping da I'm gonna do more now dka we're GNA publicize this book everywhere and that's what he did you have bigger than that is not killing your firstborn son and he never will but you see that when somebody deals with something that's going to help the the cloud tests are enormous the tests are enormous the bigger the influence the bigger the test many of the had tests when it came to money Ys zundel Shalom was addicted to only one thing learning T his wife who handled the finances would send him once in a while to go to the market that was there few times a year to go take their money and buy the uh fabric that she would take and sell and make it into dresses or sell it to different people in the community which was full of poor people so the time came she said for the please take our money go to the the uh to the place and invest our money to go buy a fabric so we can make all types of clothes for the community sell it so we can make a living you continue learn to zundel went to the market time he got to the mark it was early in the morning says hasem doesn't need me to go search for things all day and work all day to make money hasem runs the world so why am I going to waste all day working looking is this good is that good is this is that let me just go learn to and come here you know five minutes before they close and whatever is left I'll buy that what do I need to go you know use my own brain let me go learn do what says and whatever wants me to give it'll be available at the end of the day because surely no dollar will be taken out of my pocket that belongs to me and no dollar will go into my pocket if it doesn't belong to me as the the page 16 and also page 16 but it says that you is decided in from your is already decided and the only thing that changes is the money that you use for why because says on the money that you have I'm GNA pay for that whatever money you use for I'm going to pay for so anyone that has real spends a lot of money on a lot of a lot on Shabbat a lot of people say oh Judaism is expensive it's supposed to be if you want to be rich you want to be rich you have to spend a lot of money on Judaism why it's the only money you guaranteed to get back why says who did me a favor and I'll pay him back meaning who B who invested into aah without even having all the money yet you wanted to go buy $500 worth the for your Shabbat cuz you having guests not because you just have a big stomach you have guests you want to honor Shabbat you want to have guests want to teach to learn Tor he spent 500,000 $2,000 on your Shabbat says that's for the honor of my Shabbat I'll pay for it when has his timing don't worry you'll get it you'll get it don't give AEM deadlines you don't give the boss deadlines give yourself deadlines you just do do what you're supposed to says who did me a fav first and I'll pay him back cuz in reality we never do many favors first that's in Ence what he's saying but if you did something cash so zund says what do I need to waste my time checking if this is better that's better is going to decide for me so what did he do he went to a place where no one could bother him he started learning all day all day he's in the T he's in eventually after hours of looked at the oh 5 minutes left goes into the market everyone's closed except one guy one guy that has really really high-end fabric that only Kings buy it's so expensive only the Kings can afford it but he's the only one that's still open zund says okay here's all my money give me the fabric give me everything now didn't live in a uh Fifth Avenue in New York he didn't live in Beverly Hills in uh you know in in in Los Angeles over there no he lived in a in a village where it would take them a thousand years to sell one of these Fabrics no one gra such a thing poor people he comes home with this fabric he put all of the finances his wife starts crying hysterical says what you do who we going to sell this to who we going to sell this to no one can afford such fabric she starts crying and says no it's going to be okay don't worry runs the world Divine logic is not human logic we can use our human logic's logic is much better than ours but his amuna at that stage was higher than his wife's as you would have it the wife doesn't even know what to do with this fabric doesn't know what to do with it few days not even a season a few days pass a messenger from the King comes to the town anyone here deal with dresses and fabric oh yeah the zundel family huh oh yes you hi here you deal with fabric yes yes okay the King's son the prince is getting married and everyone needs to weigh the same exact thing but it's only a special type of fabric you have anything uh we have the perfect thing for you how much do you want all of it became very rich became very rich why because he understood Divine logic is not human logic now we could work 20 hours a day doesn't mean you're going to succeed there are many many people that work a lot and don't make any money many people that work very little make a lot of money and vice versa vice versa but the test of is not a easy one but it's impossible if you don't have toim says that in his house he has a rule he has a rule teach his little girls and his boys there a rule we never cry or ever get angry over something material it's forbidden now you lost a toy you broke something you won something never allowed to cry over something material why because it brings a a case against you in sham cuz why you cry okay so you lost 500 box you lost 5,000 you lost a toy you lost something that's material so CH say oh yeah he's crying about uh this toy she's crying that she doesn't have a fridge she's crying that the uh tiles of the kitchen look like the uh the desert they're crying that you know stuff's not working crying angry they got to a fight on Shabbat because the food wasn't so good ask what about mikdash they cry about that too I don't have a house for 2,000 years they cry about that is got slaughtered by the Millions over the last 2,000 years by the Christians they cry about that the Tor is being desecrated every single day by both religious and irreligious people they're crying about my Tor over a million kids in do not know they don't know they don't know they cry about those kids there are hundreds of family thousands of families that we're trying to reach and help I mean we can only do what allows us to do anyone that saw the video we publicized a couple days ago I couldn't watch it I had to took me three times two or three times to actually watch the video even though we made it took me a few times to actually sit there and watch the whole thing seven minute video I just after 3 minutes I just start crying I have to stop wait the next day why you're seeing s ke with little kids the shoes don't fit them too small on a kid the shoes are ripped they're opening their Sho is open like it's a like it's a hippopotamus she's wearing winter clothes because they can't afford anything else in the summer 900 Degrees weather over there can't afford anything else a mother says my kids are asking me IMA IMA can we have food food food not IMA can I have a Nintendo NAA can I have another motorcycle can I have food you cry about those people you cry about them what' you cry about you lost your uh the game

about we'll turn you into a joystick C about joysticks will turn you into a joystick we cry about material things right doesn't look good Never Cry by material things never get angry about material things why CU going to say look if you at least cry about material as much as you cry about the spiritual okay fine going be wrong it's tough to lose money trust me I lost Millions very very difficult to lose money but do we care as much about as we do about our own pocket cu you're going to cry about losing money you're going to cry about all types of material things fine that makes you human you shouldn't but nonetheless it makes you human to at least have a difficulty but are you crying about the fact that we have kids that went to Yesa kids that went to Yesa their whole life they added me to some group I got out right away when I found out what this group is but before I got away I was doing a shield last night so by the time I got home I saw there's like I 300 messages in this group all yes from here from Florida what are they discussing in this group The filthiest stuff you can possibly imagine a cursing filth garbage disgusting you would have thought you were in some you know prison cell with a bunch of hoodlums guys well former if that's what the product is of the aiva system here in Florida might as well sign it to public school I know public school kids that don't speak like that you crying about those people they don't know nothing if you're not crying about them that they don't know anything and they have such filthy mouths and such horrible addictions how can you allow yourself to cry about your Nintendo and your play station and your money and your stock market how can you allow yourself if you cry just as much at least you're going in the right direction what's the mindset of a person that understands the value of money but also the value of a Jew one of the from NE one time someone came to his house I have a problem with you oh what could I do what happened says the r owes me $600 600 shekels oh why do I owe 600 shekels because you guys painted the house and then emptied out all the remaining paint into the sewer system the sewer system caused the clog in my house and in order to unclog itus me $600 so one second got the money 1 2 3 4 5 $600 here you go oh thank you for the he leaves so the just give this guy in two minutes $600 says is this the because usually the process proof this that you know says to them one of the greatest lessons you could ever learn he says I have at least three reasons why I don't have to pay him says one he lives across the street which means the sewer system that I have and the sewer system that he has do not connect there's no way that he was affected by my stuff no way reason number two the sewer system is constantly watering there moving so there's no way that the paint could have clogged his house no way scientifically impossible reason number three we didn't paint the house there's no paint we didn't paint the house so now they tell me even more confused like you like I was I was laughing and and Confused Robert why'd you pay him then you have three reasons leg you didn't even do anything why'd you pay him he says to pay $600 to a Jew to have a good neighbor it's a good investment it's a good investment it's worth it pay somebody $600 to be a good neighbor because if I didn't pay him and I told him these excuses he wouldn't believe he wouldn't agree he would be upset it' be something between me and another Jew if I have to pay him $600 to make him happy good neighbor cheap bash good investment how do you know it's a good investment you have a bad bad neighbor having a bad neighbor is like cancer everything you do they have a problem with your kids are too loud your kids are too this your car is in my way you look to me the wrong way you're cutting on my lawn you're cutting on this all types of things you know how many fights there are that go to actual Court because of neighbors that are jealous of each other all of a sudden the city Marshall shows up to your house yes sir okay here you go get a letter scary letter from the government no one ever gets it okay you have seven days to remove your entire balcony or to remove this garage why you didn't get a certification from the state you didn't get the permission from the state to do this yeah but how did the state know about my house there's a million houses in the city how'd you know about it how do they know your neighbor doesn't like it that you're expanding your house doesn't like it that you're making it nicer so what did he do he called the city yeah City yeah yeah my uh my neighbor is uh doing something illegal oh what is he doing oh he's uh doing something without getting permission from you build a build back balcony is a this basement apartment all types of things call the city see it is you did our job for us they show up to you you have a week and there's no like oh let me go to court you have a week to destroy this thing yeah but I spent 3040 $50,000 on this thing mistake why jealous jealous you know how many how many places have these stories how many times people tell me listen maybe you could so people like that there's no fixing them unless you build them also what you're building for yourself there's no way while you're expanding your house you're investing another 100,000 in your house unless you invest 100,000 in this house it's never going to happen never going to happen why jealous person and that's why the says to us jealous people will not be resurrected with the dead hates them so when you know what a bad nebor looks like you're willing to pay to get a good one now that also means that you have to have a certain understanding of Tor now there is a that says that there are times specific times that you have to prove the case that you are right to show that you're clean of this accusation that somebody makes of you you can't just admit a just to be a good neighbor let me just give you money to everybody if somebody accuses you of something wrong there are certain times of that you have to prove that you are right why to show that you're kosher Jew to show that you are clean in the eyes of hasem you're cleans in the eye of people so different times to use but the point being is that you have to know enough T to know when to use it and when not to use it if it's something like this like what says your neighbor comes complain to you about your parking in his spot and in reality there's no such thing as his spot just move your car go somewhere else why it's not worth the fight oh I'm sorry I'm sorry it's just spot I didn't know I'm sorry we just moved here I'm sorry I didn't know it's your spot oh it's your chair I'm sorry I'm sorry move why it's not worth fighting pick your battles pick your battle it's not worth fighting over stupid things like that his chair his spot the guy thinks he runs the world let him make let them believe that he runs the world okay what are you going to fight him over it people fight over chairs oh you seeting my chair I'm not coming here anymore give him the chair give him an ice cream too l lol pu little child that he is oh it's your spot oh city city city traffic is yours too the air is yours enjoy it's yours you're right I saw your name I didn't I I didn't know it was your name when I saw it in the air I didn't know it was your name now I know your name I'll recognize it forever I'll recognize it forever it's you it's all you enjoy it why it's not worth a fight but if somebody excuses you or you're stealing you're lying something like that you have to show proof no I'm clean I'm clean I'm ethical I'm clean everything I'm doing kosher why you have to show that the T LED you to be a kosher person now your perspective of money as you get more and more to changes now when you get to high level like the sages money simply becomes meaningless to you so much so that when somebody came to Steinman one of his came to him in a joking way says you know R there was one guy that was rich guy we told him we need to donate for the ISA he says listen I'm willing to give you guys a half a million dollars but one condition I wantman to engrave a pen for me you know write his name on a pen for me you give me that pen I'll give you a half a million dollars you know come on you're gonna make such commands of one of the biggest rabbis in the world are you ridiculous okay that's my condition so the was saying a joke this guy has no respect for the Tora he wants to says no no no wa not why not $500,000 for why not just I need somebody to teach me how to engrave bring me somebody to engrave and how much percentage is the r going to get from the $500,000 nothing why what do I need the money for a rich guy came to when you look at it you looked at his house anyone saw pictures of the's house that give you an understanding of what houses look like in the Holocaust it didn't change you couldn't find the refrigerator he had in a museum He had milk crates as his bed milk crates you guys even know what milk crates are milk crates were his bed no joy whatsoever out of this world did not want anything to do with it someone rich person came up to him please let us redo the R's house buy the next door house buy the property make the r a nice nice house comfortable no house stand and looks why what do I need this stuff for why do I need all this what will do for me just like someone came to the said you know you're known as the yeah no well I don't know where's the the house was the furniture where the uh you know glory of the Torah how come says where's yours no I'm just visiting him I'm from London but if you come to my house in London see big house nice couches all types of chandeliers I'm just visiting here I'm visiting here also I'm not going to be a forever I don't invest in this world you come to my house in I show you I have this that what why should I invest into house going to be for a short period of time for what what for what perspective of money changes your understanding of what's valuable changes why you know you're only going to be it for a little while you're only going to be it for a little while what if you don't understand it then will force you to understand it but unfortunately get to a point where it's too late I'm going to tell you a real story happening as we speak some of you that have seen many of my lectures been here heard me talk to you about my cousin Shalom I didn't know him personally young kid 23 or 26 years old his father from what I know has enough money to build a country K gave them a lot of money what did he give nothing secular school for the kids wife is an atheist don't keep anything on violating the entire nothing don't keep anything zero but money they have so two and a half years ago 23 26 year old cousin on the second day of while the F while the parents are on vacation he goes on his scooter instead of going to the besset he goes on a scooter right outside of his Mansion falls off the scooter hits his head Hospital comes goes to the hospital do some CAT scans this scan that Scan they know the guy they know the family obviously with money everybody knows you says no you're okay everything's okay just home and rest my cousin goes home he goes and he rests and he dies whole life was in front of him cute kid smart kid unfortunate kid didn't know what Torah was died before he even learned now that would be one of the greatest punishments that a who can give a father is to see his own kid die during his life now if that didn't make the person do CH what does do what did I tell you guys many times what happens with when he says if I do something to you I give you a difficulty I give you suffering you don't do chuva guess what what are you going to say it's nature happen stance it's a misfortune bad luck you can say that I'll punish you even worse less than 6 months ago his second son 48 years old found dead in the apartment found dead in the apartment here in Florida they didn't say why but anyone that has a brain can figure out why they do chuva unfortunately no wife's still an atheist still keeping nothing Monday last week Sunday last week my father calls me says please do me a favor what please for why this morning dror called them the father two sons died no CH yet dror called them we're sorry you have throat cancer meaning you're pretty much living on borrowed time every day you live your it's a miracle now let me ask you a question how much is 1002 200 $300 million a billion dollar however much money you can count how much is it worth when two of your kids died during your life and you're about to die any day how much is that worth to you how much and this is why we warn people constantly don't mess with a he said keep Shabbat keep Shabbat he said be a coacher business be a coacher business why you don't want to turn into my uncle say he says at the end of I pay cash to my haters to their face to destroy them he had a lot of money she has a lot of money what's that money going to do for him now zero nothing can't help him can't buy him an extra day in life can't take it to the was so worried about leaving anything in this world that page 47a has a story about Rish Rish one of the greatest sages we ever had also one of the greatest that we ever had used to be the head of the mafia became the at the end of his days he started crying moments before he left this world went to witha with the greatest of History why did he cry he said I can't believe that I left a CA a few vegetables can't believe I left a few vegetables in this world I left them all of my strength I left them all of my strength people say oh no I want to save up so I could leave a big inheritance for the next generation one of the greatest sages in history says I can't believe I left a few fruits and vegetables it's all my strength so the says what's the meaning here says when somebody understands the value of Tor he understands that that those fruits and vegetables the money that it took to to to you know to to pay for them that took time to make that money right that time was wasted why cuz you didn't need it you didn't need those for cuz you didn't use them somebody else going to eat from it that means that you could have used that time to learn more T what a waste what a waste that's the perspective of someone and understands what tose this gives us a little bit of an understanding a little bit of of how much we have to fight fight for Tor fight fight for to a minute here 5 minutes there 10 minutes 20 minutes cuz that's the Cure guys it's the only thing with that being said who wants to start with some questions Joshua you had 18 87 questions after the lecture yesterday 89 89 sorry I forgot the last two no give me one at least Sunny already has You by two today so no you already asked has to at the start of the year so you have to catch up no didn't he didn't have a daughter so uh name he had a blessing called so what's the question so there's a PUK in the Tor it says that AB who was blessed so some of the say that there was actually AB did have a daughter and her name was that was her name so he did fulfill that uh that Mitzvah there are some that say the other otherwise uh that uh that was referring to something else but we do know that abrah had many children but as far as the one that was uh turned into that was so he had two sets of kids he hadak and then he had all of the uh sons that he had with ha so it says that he gave his inheritance and he gave many gifts to the B all the children of AAR say what are these gifts he said abah gave them the Witchcraft all types of things that they can use to to do whatever it is that they wanted to do in the world that's why much of the Witchcraft that exist in the world today comes from the Middle East specifically from the Arabs uh they this was one of the gifts they got from abah ainu uh so he had many but that's again that side as far as from he had but some say again like I said that there was a daughter that was be uh that was the name but uh in regards to the uh sages and the forefathers that we have uh we have to understand we don't have complete Clarity of every single thing they ever did but we do have an understanding that for example the the the sages teach us that and yob technically were not Jewish According to some because Judaism was born at Mount sa once we got mat there was no Judaism back back then there was Israelites there were Hebrews so what was uh technically what was abob were noahides technically because Judaism was born with but yet teach us that and the reason why they merited to be the forefathers of is is because because they did themselves follow the entire Tor they knew the entire Torah and they followed the entire Tor even before we got it it was just transmitted orally so in the beginning of the it says thatu his tractate of was 400 chapters which means that it was 80 times bigger than what we have today his Torah was much more extensive than what we have today and his wisdom was even more extensive than so it's very hard for us to truly understand the significance of our forefathers but nonetheless we do know that they fulfilled the entire Torah but they also knew that they were forbidden from doing certain things so the zor says so if AB is forbidden from keeping Shabbat but yet say that he kept Shabbat it's not allowed why says a go that keep Shabbat it's death penalty so how could Abraham keep Shabbat if he knows the entire Tor he's following the entire Torah he knows he's forbidden from keeping Shabbat says would would use the wisdom that he had from a book called the book of creation that originated all the way from the beginning of Creation in order to create something what would he create he would create a cow every Shabbat that was his breaking Shabbat he' create a cow take some clay yeah cow that's a now when you have we deal with a lot of converts I don't know if you guys knew that deal sometimes sometimes we have to deal with converts and we tell the converts that you're not allowed to keep Shabbat 100% why you're not Jewish yet once you're a Jew once you finish the conversion then you keep Shabbat 100% but yet if I tell you do whatever you want throughout the whole time that's not good why because one day you're gonna become Jewish you don't even know how to keep Shabbat so what do you do you keep Shabbat 99% throughout the whole process however that process uh takes however long it takes a year six months two years whatever it is you have to keep Shabbat 99% same thing with all of the MIT 99% so what does it mean to keep Shabbat 99% you violate it intentionally with something small once a Shabbat so for example for Shabbat you go and you turn on the light one time on Shabbat onip you take a drink you don't fast all time you take a drink or you eat something small uh you know not make a big thing don't drive to the mall on Shabbat that does that's obviously not keeping Shabbat at all you know just do something small why because you don't have to keep 100% so when you live in this generation you have a merit to Breaking Shabbat through your process by what turning on a light but if you haveo you're breaking Shabbat you create a cow that's how you break Shabbat next question yes a second before his death and it be accepted wasere there is a uh there is AAR talks about uh RAB now RAB wasn't really a rabbi he was actually a rash throughout all of his life that made every single sin you could possibly imagine every woman that he would see do whatever he can he went to every prostitute in town every sin you could possibly imagine but one day he went to a prostitute and The Prostitute rebuked him say somebody like you you have no chance now he took it to heart and he went to the mountains and started crying hysterically because he realized she was right he has no chance he's going to Gom and he started crying to the heaven he said the heavens Heavens please help me please help me and the heavens responded the says all of the sins you made has tainted us too we have to do TR for oursel says luminaries the Sun the moon please the you know the angels of the sun of the Moon please help me Sun and the Moon says you made so many sins you affected us we have to do chuva can't help you say who was going to help me the mountains the mountains I'm here please the mountains the mountains please help me Mountain says you defiled us you made the the T of the world so bad it affected us too how much sins you made and then RAB says there's nothing I can do there's nothing I can do no one's going to help me I have to rely on myself and he cried himself to death literally he cried so much that day from his sorrow that he died and as his n came out there was a but call that came out a Heavenly voice came out heard it also it says welcomes and started crying because he understood what happened he says look at this someone can buy in a moment how serious chuva now so that means if you can cry yourself to death from your Chua yes you can go to one minut before you die but how many people can do that you you so what does it really mean practically speaking if a person makes major sins in his life not because he wants to anger hasem but he makes sins or even if he does point is if that person does not have any remorse whatsoever he doesn't regret any of it and he dies he goes to the seventh level of Gom and he never comes out until his is completely destroyed and the only thing that's left is the the the peace of God if you will that Hashem put into that person after a certain amount of uh years millions of years whatever lent it is over there of suffering to completely destroy the N apparently takes a while to destroy the that person is never coming out of G for example the says is still in G to this day 4,000 years later why but he made a sin a long time ago why is he still G right now says him why he knew the truth he knew he had to keep Shabbat he knew he had keep he knew he had to be he knew his father wasu his grandfather was abrah his brother was yob he had religious people around him but he dka still chose to go against theem I hate him he knew the truth and he still went against them I hate him and for me hating for hating a person goes to G on permanently 4,000 years in this world have passed millions of years in that in that time frame over there he's still there and he's not going to leave permanently he could have been by the way your forefather my forefather that's what actually says the M says thatch technically the 12 tribes were supposed to be split six for yov and six for but because as chose the wrong way says I'll give everything to yob all the reward goes to yob and you I hate you I hate you it's the only one in the entire T that actually has a verse in the T where he says I hate a person this person I hate him specifically by name so now a person that makes such a sin dies this way has no nothing can help him on the other hand if a person has at least a he has at least some type of remorse he feels bad for the sins that he made that alone can help him not go to Gom permanently he still has to go to Gom could be even for a million years but there is a good chance that it won't be permanent why because at least he had some remorse the question is will he have the Merit to have that remorse before he dies because for that you need to have Merit you have to do something good for hem to allow you to want to want to do any type of chuva before you die CU most people they die unexpectedly car accidents a disease a heart attack all types of things they don't like die like in the movies where it's like the guy goes to sleep after he tells everybody goodbye and then it doesn't work that way in real life in real life the vast majority of deaths are unexpected so is he going to have the Merit to do that and the rambam writes in the Mish T that the worst punishment that a person can get in this world is that hasem removes his desire to do chuva well Pharaoh actually did do chuva he just hardened Pharaoh's heart Pharaoh eventually did chuva and he became the king of inph he was the king of n that did CH that's why the go did CH because Pharaoh knew that God wasn't messing around but he hardened his heart while he was in uh in in Egypt because he wanted to bring all the Miracles and so on and pH was wicked at the time but eventually he did chuva but there are certain people that removed their desire to do chuva and that's the rambam writes is the worst punishment that a person can get because pretty much the thought of getting close to Hashem is far far removed from them they hate AEM they anti- AEM and they die that way such a person nothing can help him nothing can help him that person is doomed uh I mean even there are many many many people that were Wicked but still didn't hate AEM they just were addicted to their desires you know they were addicted to whatever desire they had it had nothing to do with their hatred for hem so those people they do have some type of chance possibly if they had this desire to do chuva at some point before they died but uh bottom line is a person shouldn't play with the fire of Gom it's not the fire of this world you do chuv while you're alive like says in you have to do chv every day why because you never know when you're going to die no one's promised tomorrow we do TR every day okay and that way you're assured that when the time comes you'll be going to a good place and not uh not the place of uh of of next question [Applause] yeah how can you do Chua every day if okay so doing chuva doesn't necessarily always require a person to go into tears uh doing chuva means that you're improving whatever you're deficient in if a person was stingy yesterday his Chua today is to be generous if a person was arrogant yesterday is chuat today is to be humble if a person was angry yesterday is chuva today is to be patient and if a person wants to do chuva will help him as the says someone that comes to become purified has a desire to become purified Hashem gives him a hand if hasem knows that you have a desire to do chuva he will give you an opportunity to do chuva he'll give you an opportunity to do chuva you yelled at your wife yesterday you felt really bad about it you want to do chuva for it tomorrow Hashem is going to make your wife extra annoying why so you could do cha this time how you do CH for it honey you're right she's not right she's wrong honey you're right 100% right 100% right I can't believe right you're right I'm sorry yeah you're right why I'm doing yesterday I'm do yesterday today you have to be patient why because yesterday you were a little troll so today you have to be a sadik that's it you have to will give you will give you an opportunity to do now what happens if you mess up again oh why you have double work the next day the next day she'll be annoying at 4:00 in the morning not at two and then the employees and then the boss and then the this and then that it gets more difficult why hasem said you want to do CH I'm gonna help you I'm going to give you the test to do cha but don't keep failing try it try it try it try again hasm is going to keep giving you the same test until you pass it so chuat doesn't necessarily mean that you have to cry about all of the worst things that you've ever done in your life every day chuva means that you have to improve something that you would deficient in in the past that you're aware of whatever it was and I promise you if you are honest with yourself anyone that thinks about themselves knows that they had something that they did wrong yesterday or last week or the week before or sometime everybody knows that and the more a person knows about to the more they know how much deficiencies they really have yes that oh okay this is someone accidentally some something how do you I mean accidental you an accidental sin so sometimes so if a person let's say for example ran into the uh light switch right if he ran into the light switch it's not even a sin it's not even an accident why he ran into it it's as if it didn't happen but if he turned it on because he forgot Shabbat then that's an accident that's shig so what do he do yeah you feel bad for half you know you feel bad that something happened but you say okay the mitvah is we're not allowed to be upset on Shabbat I'm gonna continue celebrating Shabbat I'm gonna do CH for it how you do CH I'm ask my Rabbi what do I need to do which in essence many times it's give why because your is a replacement for your there's nob anymore there's no sacrifices anymore so instead ofan I'm going to give in the sake of this mistake that I made accidental sin but if it's not an accident you just ran into the light bulb you ran into the thing you turned something on that's not a sin at all so it's very important to know what's an actual accidental sin what's not a sin at all and what's an intentional sin sometimes a person gets really really upset I know one time this guy he uh was uh in the early stages of his chuva got into an argument with his family decided to heck with it went into his car and drove out got really upset and drove away ran away from his family now is that an accident no it's not an accident can you do chat for it absolutely what do he got to do he's got to make sure that he learns he's got to make sure he learns M and stops being angry and he's got to make sure to help other people not make the same mistake why because it's much much worse to violate Shabbat than it is to do anything else in the world much worse because when a person understands what Shabbat is in the eyes of he understands that you shouldn't uh play uh with fire that's why it's silly silly sometimes I have young people ask me Rabbi can I uh play basketball on Shabbat yeah said that if you're an adult you're not even allowed to touch a ball it's why would you think that he goes no but I don't know all the friends are doing it oh so you're relying on some somebody it says it's allowed Giants of the generation said you're not even to touch a ball needless to say not to play basketball on Shabbat needless to say it's not even necessarily the greatest idea to do it during the week because how much time you going to waste on unless you're doing it purely for exercise but if you're spending two three hours a day playing basketball it's not exercise anymore it's an addiction why you playing with fire why you playing with fire don't play with fire Shabbat is Shabbat Shabbat is a time to be with family it's a time to get Clos to learn his Tora time to rest a little bit that's what Shabbat is for all of these other things that you do during the week do them during the week Shabbat needs to be different than the rest of the week if your Shabbat looks like the rest of the week or worse yet your Shabbat looks like the the vacation of theim it's not Shabbat it's a vacation for the go people oh no I'm going to the beach I'm going to have my own private beach and on Shabbat you know and you know rich people they have a weekend house weekend house we're going to sit on the beach on chabbat you ever he R AKA sitting in the beach on Shabbat sit on the beach on Shabbat we're not talking about the immodesty and all that stuff obviously it's a that's again I'm talking about private beach you're the only one there you and your family no one's wearing uh nothing over there everybody's wearing whatever they wear beaches for Shabbat no I'm going to go sit by the pool on Shabbat pools for Shabbat pools for Shabbat you know think about Shabbat Shabbat is a time to learn Torah improve our spirituality if a person understood what you get for Torah for learning Torah he would use every minute he has to learn to La Shabbat why because if you take all of the good that anyone has ever had in his life and you multiply by Infinity that's not even worth one word of learning Torah during the week on Shabbat on Shabbat the reward for your learning Tor is a thousandfold whatever you got during the week for learning T is multiplied by a thousand on Shabbat this is the reason why many of the like for example wouldn't sleep on Shabbat at all like no sleep zero he would barely sleep anyway he sleep a few hours like many of the Giants they would barely sleep they would study constantly but on Shabbat da wouldn't sleep at all why cannot waste the time to to sleep I got to learn T gotta learn T like he's missing MIT so when a person understands how much to is worth on Shabbat these ideas of secular Behavior Escape him but you're not going to understand unless you learn to a little bit every day you watch one of the lectures every day every day another another one another one another one you keep adding up and build your spiritual immune system you're going to get much more clarity on life and what to do with life but if you're going to constantly depend on your own secular knowledge and just general human knowledge you're going to have very very big ups and downs in your life so that's in essence what the were constantly trying to teach us that the Tor is not a suggestion book the Torah is simply a rule book of how to achieve success in everything in this world and the next if you don't do it it's not like if you do it you succeed and if you don't do it you'll find something else that's better or maybe not as good no the Torah is if you do it you will succeed if you don't do it you will fail at everything else that you will do yeah my uncle has hundreds of millions of dollars but guess what a bunch of strangers are going to get it all the money he worked for stranger going to have it he's not going to enjoy it why he's going to die soon from thr cancer unless by some miracle decides to give him another chance cuz right now every single day he's alive as a miracle cuz you didn't get the signs I almost died too I had to fight for my life for a long time because I was stupid playing with fire I didn't understand oh it's God that's doing all this I thought it's like bad luck I thought it's a bad doctor after 50 bad doctors I realize it's not the doctors don't be stupid like me be smart the second version of me but don't wait too late that's in essence what we're trying to learn here people play with fire they get burned it's not that Hashem wants to burn you it's a reality you put your hand in fire you're going to get burned it's not that the fire is a punishment it's a reality it's an outcome of your actions if you defile the N that hasem gave you he has to destroy you that's it you have no right to be next to him he gave you a pure Nish at the very least we have to return it pure the problem is we return the n worse than what we got it and yet we expect to go to ganeden ludicrous imagine your boss in a company says listen we like you we're going to put you in charge of a million dollar account to take care of company business grow the company build the company do whatever you can all right okay they come back to you a couple of months later no so how much money did you make us with this million dollars turn it into million half 2 million 3 million what you do with it uh no no we are actually you're in debt of 15 million not only did you not make us money but you lost the money we gave you and you put us in debt of 15 million and yet you want a promotion you want to keep your job doesn't make any sense right when we make a sin it's much worse than what I just gave you Hashem gave us a you know what is your has to travel 500 light years from different places in the heavens in a matter of no no time to enter your body your n comes from the under it has to travel thousands of white years in a moment to enter your body got from the highest place and you came to this world beautiful the Hashem says you know what at least give it to me like I gave it to you and prove a few things that's the whole point of why you're here don't think you're going to get back to the if you're returning to him something worse than what you got that's in essence when when you have an opportunity to keep MIT it's an opportunity to Pure ify your it's an opportunity to purify yourself and get closer to hem why because is the king of kings he's not going to be next to anything filthy it's just not going to happen he's the king of kings he's not your boy he's not your friend he's the king of kings so this is why we have to speak harshly at times to explain to people the worst thing you can do is sin intentionally sin accidentally happens you're human and even the sin accidentally from time to time even there's a in the about it but an intentional sin is completely different you make an intentional sin you have a very serious problem first you have to focus on stopping the intentional sins do everything you can understand that making an intentional sin is worse than turning a atomic bomb under yourself not under somebody else's uh country you're blowing yourself up you will suffer from that intentional sin you have to understand what this fire is why because that's the only way you see a a beautiful woman that's practically walking around with no clothes on unless you understand the fire and the circumstances that you're putting yourself in by staring at her you're going to sin either with her with somebody else or with yourself you're going to sin so what you got to do he said no no this is fire you came and look can't even look why it's fire it's a bomb I got to run away from this you look away it becomes a reflex now I know to some people it sounds impossible what do you mean how do you not look if you train yourself long enough it becomes your nature the second you see a woman IM you look away and you can even get to the point where a second you see a woman you look away You're Still appropriate you're still polite you say hello and you know if somebody's approaching you ask you question yes and we look now sometimes a women tell me listen you know that woman that uh you know my friend I brought it to the lecture that you did over there and uh you know my friend that spoke to you after the lecture she had the black hat and the blue this and the black that no I don't know no that woman that was there I have no idea no but you were talking to her for 15 minutes yeah I have no idea I have no idea what you're talking about why I wasn't looking at her I was looking behind her I'm looking your face but I'm not looking at you I'm looking at something you think I'm looking at you but I'm looking at something why I had to train myself to do that I can't tell her listen hey yes ma'am she's over here yes ma'am listen I can't can't do that she'll be she'll be offended because she has no idea what I'm doing so I have to pretend like I'm looking at you to look at somebody behind you and hope that behind you there's like I know something really really ugly or a wall why I know if I look at you it's fire it's fire I don't want to get burned that's what you have to do you want to go to ganed that's what you have to do to look at a woman that's forbidden to you is a from the Tor to look forget about be with her to look at a woman that's forbidden to you if she is somebody else's wife it's already is if she's n she's not your wife but she's not she's not she's not your wife she's n she's not anybody's wife single woman she forbid to you can't look at her she's a Goya not Jewish woman forbidden to you looking at her you're already violating the toah now what do you do you deal with things in a polite way hello and that's it whatever you need to do cash here yes yes but one second no staring you know sometimes I remember in business there was certain weird women that would like to like when they talk to you they talk like this like they want to look at your eyes like what are you looking for the brain behind my eyes there's some weird people that want to look at you like this like yeah no no you high something wrong no don't do that don't do that if if it's a opposite uh gender look but then after that train yourself to not stare at people why you have to protect your eyes because if you don't protect your eyes evil will come to you at night what's evil the already tells us evil is wasting seed so when you understand that making this sin is fire you will do whatever you can to avoid it when you understand that noner money is fire you will do whatever you can to stop it Ru the grandson of Rashi grandson of Rashi one of the biggest giants in the world every every single day every day of his life he would read scariest in the T specifically the section about who is cursed by hasem cursed is the person who sins in hiding why is the person that sins in hiding cursed why isn't he just bad because the explained to us when you sin when you do bad stuff there are certain sins there certain bad things you would do you're embarrassed to do in front of somebody you're not going to do it next to your wife you're not going to do it next to your husband if your husband's there you're not going to do it if your son is there you're not going to do it if your neighbor is there you're not going to do it if your boss is there you're not going to do it if the police officer is there you're not going to do it sometimes there's certain sins if a dog is there you're not going to do it said look you wouldn't sit next to your wife you wouldn't sit next to your husband you wouldn't sit next to your neighbor you wouldn't sit next to your boss you wouldn't sit next to the dog but you're sitting in front of me all the time you're the worst you're scared of everybody except me that makes you cursed if you made sins in public you don't care about everybody says okay you're you're a really bad person but at least you're treating all of us equally but when Hashem is the only one you're not scared of come on so that's the thing when a person knows what the sin means he understands that when would literally study every single day of his life why he says I need I need to be scared of making sins yeah but you're a big so so well does that mean I have no yet everybody has you have to fight it you have to fight the you have to stay away from sins why when you stay away from sins your mitv become more enjoyable your mitv become more natural your MIT become part of you but when you're making sins even your mitv become defiled even your mitv become defiled so that's one of the most critical things that a person needs to know but again you can't do chuva for everything in one day so each day you choose something sometimes you may be six months or even six years working on one thing cuz it's a big thing you're working on your anger that may take you five 10 years to work on your anger but work on it as you get stronger with this start adding other things that you're working on but if you work on yourself every single day you'll definitely improve your life for sure there's no doubt about it next almost done no is it a good thing if you um study all kinds all kinds of book but you never pick up a to read itself good thing like you don't you have no idea wasn't the so you learn you learned you learned but you never learned you all kind of book but you never Pi up a you don't know there so the says that every Jew is obligated to read the every week in order to read the weekly parasha twice without commentary and once just a commentary meaning it's a from the that you have to do it it's the minimum of minimum of learning to now furthermore explained to us it's impossible for you to become a or know anything of any value without learning further one of the the uh grandson of the he said when you understand the spiritual mystical parts of the world world you know that when you learn Kash when you learn uh the the weekly par at the time it's supposed to be learned it's not just for the sake of wisdom it's not just for the sake of fulfilling the AL but because you're doing all of those things you're creating certain angels that will help you that week you're creating certain spiritual power for yourself at that time where if you don't do it you're in essence missing out on a lot more than you can possibly imagine now of course a person must at some point learn other books as well learn thear and so on but without learning the very Basics and going straight to the high level that means that you either don't have a rabbi and you've decided to become your own Rabbi or your Rabbi is not really a rabbi because the minimum of minimum is to learn that's how you begin that's what you do throughout your entire life even the M that talks about what should be the uh s of learning T it starts with the before anything else why because that's the foundation of our Tor it's the foundation of everything now of course if you learn you will learn different parts that are from the written Tor but you have to learn that in its time and the in its time everything has its time everything has its time the uh um the is considered the highest level of wisdom but you're not going to be able to understand the highest level of wisdom without understanding the foundation of all wisdom so just jumping to the highest level is simply ridiculous I mean sometimes I hear things from uh oh yeah listen Rabbi I was just introduced to the Z I was just introduced to the cabala so I'm going to study with my Rabbi wait hold on a second wait you just introduced to the Z when did you do cha when did you convert when did you even get introduced to God what three four five years ago you're already going to the highest level either you're the biggest Genius of the generation or you're the biggest idiot most likely the latter most likely the latter why because even people people that I know that read the entire sh every year entire not the whole thing twice three four times a year in one year if you could finish it one time in your life you're already a big shot I'm talking about I know people that finish it a few times a year they don't read the Z they don't read the cabala why they know it's above them and they're not ready for it but you you haven't finish the K with Rashi you're going there it's like you just got a janitor job at nasab you decided you know what let me try this uh try my luck at building the rocket too you don't know how to sweep but you're going to build the rocket go ahead I'm not going to be on that rocket though I'm not gonna be on that rocket I I I don't trust you to explain you cannot explain this to regular people that are doing it because their mind is so closed that unless it's coming from an authority figure that's their Rabbi they're not going to listen to anybody they're not going to listen to anybody why because they've decided to be their Rabbi and that's why the uh says that someone who does not have a rabbi God hates him why because there's an you have to have a rabbi you have to have a rabbi that's going to remove you from the doubt that's going to teach you certain things of what to do what not to do tell you when you're wrong tell you when you're right but if you decide to be your own Rabbi for sure you're going to make mistakes and you're not going to be able to fix them because you don't know you're making mistakes cuz you're your own Rabbi who's going to tell you yourself so that's the problem people that don't have a rabbi you'll always always see that it's a matter of time before they go astray really really bad really really horrible some people that are rabbis that you see have changed drastically and have deteriorated dramatically with their teaching and with their understanding and even gotten to the point of becoming Heretics you'll see what happened ah it's because their Rabbi either died and they didn't replace him or they stopped listening to their Rabbi and they became their own Rabbi and you see that those people became complete complete Heretics horrible it's a sad thing but it's a reality it happens so one of the greatest things that a who gave me is that he gave me a rabbi that I knew on day one he is much better than I could ever be if I study t for a million years a million years I'm not going to be like raim never it's never going to be why because he'll study for another Million Years also and he'll be greater than I could ever be now I knew this from day one now despite my huge ego that's bigger than the world I understood next to him I'm zero zero zero zero and I will always be zero now you guys may think I'm a big guy and great all that stuff but I know myself I'm zero zero now in comparison to and says to me he is less than zero next to less than zero so if he is less than zero next Toya I'm already at negative I'm a negative okay now said himself says Al I will be like the one day from previous generation few 100 years before 200 years before him Al I'll be like him meaning says I'm not like can get this where he is knew he's a nothing he's a zero next to the rambam the rambam was not even qualified to be the student of RAB AKA because in order to be the student of RAB AKA you had to be able to resurrect the dead look at someone and pretty much pick him up that said he's alive because you prayed to hm and that said alive on the spot alive on a spot anyone that's was a studenta resurrects the dead anyone that's mentioned by name in the was able to resurrect the dead R wasn't able to resurrect the dead even though he did many many miracles and different things wasn't able to resurrect the dead on at will not happening he wasn't qualified the ramb wasn't qualified to be a tal OFA r he was the ofos the to that he had they said you could literally if you took he said himself if you took the entire ocean which is 72% of the globe 72% of the globe is water took all of that water and in essence it became ink and then you took all the trees and turned them into pens to use that ink and all of the land turned into paper you wouldn't be able to write the Torah that Ros knew in his head and rabos says and all of that Torah that I know that's there's not enough space in the world to fit is not even a lick of a dog in a water in a water of the ocean next to rabbis you know imagine the dog comes to lick the water in the ocean to drink does it make an effect an impact on the ocean nothing he says all that Torah that I know is not even that lick from that dog next to my rabbis who's the rabbi Zak doesn't reach it doesn't reach it nothing zero and guess what was not even a prophet you go to the prophets talk to face to face Zar is talk to face to face Daniel says if generation of Daniel Mia came will be Daniel spoke to him says by the way you're the fourth of the everything says became everything we say not exactly and guess what everyone everyone everyone just mentioned is a zero next to M so do you understand so when someone thinks of themselves in the right perspective they realize how much of a zero they are why because mosu hasim in the Tor where it says he was the humblest of all so if the greatest of all that's part of our 13 principles of Faith to remind ourselves every day he was the greatest of all the one that says my servant is the man of God I spoke to Moshe face to face like a friend if he himself thought of himself as nothing he said on himself we are nothing M said I'm nothing if he is nothing you go sh you go back to what I just said starting with me where where am I where am I where am I do you understand so that's the thing the more a person learns the more he realizes how much of a nothing he is in comparison to the rabbis that came before him if a person thinks he's a big deal that means that he's not connected to all of those great people that I just mentioned he's not connected at all he's starting something new a new religion a new ideology you're not connected why because all of the greatest people I've ever mentioned to you all of them were humble all of them thought of themselves as nothing I'm actually really a nothing but they actually were great something and they became they they thought of themselves as nothing the more of a nothing you think of yourself the more of a possibility that you're something but the more of something that you think you are for sure you're nothing and that's the thing when somebody skips and just says no no I'm not going to study Kash I'm not going to study I'm gonna go straight to the source and foolish people send me messages all yeah God talks to me God talks to me yeah I get I get messages from him I get messages from him you know I he talks to me you know he he tells me things like go to a mental institution please get yourself out of the misery put some drugs in your system you know you're living like this thinking God talks to you probably somebody talks to you but it's definitely not God they like to torture people so they make you PR think that you're talking to God sometimes why yeah all the tum that you created in the world all the fil you created in the world you think that God's talking to you people are ludicrous with the things that they say you have to understand Torah is not given to anyone just for no reason you have to be willing to kill yourself for it that's what says at the end of you want to inherit T you have willing to die for it but not die for it no no I'm GNA jump off a bridge no die for it meaning your whole life learn learn learn fight for it every opportunity give everything for it invest everything into it all your time all your money all your heart all your everything why it is everything but you think you just skip skip everything you're to make a new thing can't help people like this simply cannot help people like this because they're so far removed from reality that it's like H you know what do you do with such a person nothing you can do with them only way that such a person comes back to reality is when Hashem rebukes them and they realize that they really are nothing and that eventually happens hopefully it's not too late next question we're almost done maybe one question so yeah always so the world was created in such a fashion that gave us a uh certain system of how he runs the world and he said that this world the says it inat and I believe in a few other places that this world will exist exist for 6,000 years just like this is the 7,000 world this is the last of the worlds that hm created hasem Created other worlds before this we don't have very much knowledge about what those worlds and what happened in those worlds but nonetheless this is the last of the worlds and this world will exist for a total of 7,000 years but the the last th000 from 6,000 to 7,000 will be the days of mashiach where the mashiach is actually already here ruling the world and so on complete peace no war and so on but this world if you will will exist for a maximum of 6,000 years now so people think that that means that mashiach is going to come at six at the year 6000 wrong why is it wrong because the sages teach us in the in many other places that the mesiah will come before Shabbat so what does that mean it's not before Shabbat the day rather before Shabbat the year so we know from T that tells us that every thousand years is considered a day in the eyes of Hashem so first thousand we're at 5780 so the first thousand of 5,000 that's Sunday the week starts 2,000 Monday 3,000 Tuesday 4,000 Wednesday 5,000 we've completed Thursday right that's the first 5,000 but then we have 780 now 750 750 is 34 of a th000 so that means that we are 3/4 of the 24 hours which is the 18th hour that's already 6:00 p.m. on Friday 6: p.m. on Friday plus there's some change it's 750 but there it's 780 right now so every 41 years is an hour so right now we are almost at 700 p.m. on Friday and tell us that the mashia has to come before Shabbat so the year 6,000 is already far into Shabbat because Shabbat doesn't start at a uh at midnight you know day starts at you know at 12:01 a.m. Shabbat doesn't start at midnight Shabbat starts you know 7 7:30 throughout the year changes a little bit sometimes as early as 4:00 sometimes as late as let's say 8:30 but nonetheless on the average it's around 7 meaning that is coming he's coming right Shabbat so the mistake that people make is they think that the mashia will come at the year 6,000 that's a mistake the the issue is that the world itself will exist for 6,000 years in this capacity and then change form if you will for the last thousand years this time is the days of mashia where we are in a stage final stages Before the War of goou Magog will start and get to the uh it already started but get to the culmination point which is the final stage that the g v says will last 9 Minutes somebody says 11 but either way everybody knows it's a very small amount of time where 2third of the world are going to die according to the prophecy by Zacharia in chapter 14 uh and uh then the uh during that time of a mashiah is going to come and uh the uh some part of the last third that's left in the world will survive not all of them but some parts of them will survive so all of that is going to happen over a period of time after this war is completed there's going to be seven years that it's going to take to bury all the bodies and 40 years after mashiah comes there's going to be the resurrection of the Dead all theik that have ever lived will be resurrected 40 years after mhia comes so there's going to be certain things that happen now this is all going to happen soon it's not going to happen at the year 6000 it's before that so but some people think that it's the year 6000 because of what I just explained which they mistake and misunderstand that the existence of this world in its current nature will last that long but once we get to that 7,000 year the nature of the world if you will will change to some extent even though the rambam writes that there's still going to be basic ways of the world that remain there is going to be a different nature to the world also so it's going to be a uh some parts the same some parts very very very different but nonetheless there's not going to be any more yet in the last thousand years so it's going to be quite quite a different world we will live to see it last question and then we could call it the week just connecting with that that you said um last week on par was a commentary the that it says that in the whole tan there's only five times that yo have yo name has an extra V and there's only five times that Ayah name is missing a V and it says that when that it means that when elah comes to announce mhia going to return those vs so I was thinking there's been four Exiles does that mean there's going to be one more Exile we're in it we're in the last stages we're in the days of a uh the end of days we're in the last stages the uh The Last Exile has been the longest and most difficult out of all cuz the first uh you know the first one was a couple hundred couple hundred years then we had the destruction of bet mikdash second bet mikdash but the Last Exile is the 2,000 years of Darkness that we've had of course there's been periods of time where we've did better than others you know there was a time that we were doing really really well in Spain but then the Spanish Inquisition came you know there was a time that we were doing really really well in Germany and then the Holocaust came and there a time that we're doing okay in Israel and now came so the point is is that there's a time that we're doing really well in America and again now came so things at were good at times it wasn't all bad but nonetheless we never had the true salvation throughout all of that time we're still even if you live in is you're still considered like you're living in the Exile uh you know we're still we're still in that part but nonetheless once the uh mashiah comes all of that will end and uh per you know each person will be judged for wherever he's at at that time there's no more Chua once the mashia comes so a person has to already prepare prepare now for when the mashia comes or perhaps when you know if a person dies because that's also the same thing he's going to be judged at that moment there's no more chuva after you die so every person needs to do whatever they can to do chuva a lot of times people tell me oh I pray for mhia come I don't know well the the sages that I just talked about they were scared for the mhia to come because they didn't think they were ready well you're praying for the mhia to come that means that you think that you're ready either you are the biggest tadik in the generation or you're completely ignorant of it means for the mhia to come you know and you should know yeah you expect the mashiach to come you have to believe the mhia is going to come but there's no actual obligation for you to want him to come you want him to come for the sake of sanctifying hm's name but it's not necessarily that's not the 13 principles of Faith you just have to believe he's going to come and you have to get yourself ready for him to come you know because even the sages says that I want the mashia to come just not when I'm alive which in Ence you want hashem's name to be Sanctified just you can't you don't want to deal with the real tragedy that's going to happen beforehand but we are at that time where pretty much this is the last train for everyone whatever life a person has this is it there no more reincarnation there's no more nothing so everybody has their last chance and everybody has to literally pray for to give them all the strength and willpower that they need in order to complete their chuva while they're alive that's what you have to pray for the most for you to do chv then after that for to do CH which includes your parents your brothers your sisters your spouse your kids all of Cl that you don't know you have to pray for to do CH and but not just pray do something about it help people do chuva share the lectures sponsor K do all types of things that are going to help because when you help other people do good will give you strength to do good why because it's mid it's measure for measure it's measure for measure you help hm's other children hashm will help your children and that's the biggest gift that you could possibly get and that's why the always tried to teach us different things for our prayers to get answered uh different tools and as a Gul that you're allowed to use that I uh just learned today for you uh from that one of the in the previous generation uh taught that uh when a uh couple came to and they told them RAB we need uh special prayer for salvation to come something good to come whether it was P or children or whatever it was what should we do so says that you should accept on yourself a very big mitvah but fulfill it don't accept to yourself something and don't do it because the mishna says anyone that makes promises and breaks them Hashem will the same God that destroyed the generation of the flood will destroy him too it's not good to break promises not especially not promises to Hashem so if you're not keeping Shabbat that should be your first promise you have to do it if you're still wasting seed that should be a promise you got to do it you got to start doing everything possible to protect your bed everything possible to protect your breed if you're not eating kosher then you got to eat kosher and so on and so forth make a big promise make a big acceptance on yourself I'm going to do this you don't have to say I I'm making a n bottom line is make a big commitment from now on I'm doing this from now one I'm going to give from now one I'm going to do this I'm now to give my from now one I'm going to do kiru from now on I'm going to learn to a few hours a day from now on I'm going to take something big after that after you take on something big you say that I'm doing this big mitvah for the for the elevation of the soul that will bring this Mitzvah this request of mine that I have for salvation for the of that that brings this request to himself so the couple said but RAB we always pray for you know for the sake of you know shim all these big sages says yes it's good but it's better if you do take on a big mitzvah for the elevation of the soul that will bring this request of yours to has himself says why because the that are in heaven now there's one thing that they suffering what do they suffer they cannot do anything for hem anymore they cannot Elevate themselves even more so they look for opportunities to do something for hem so now you're going to say listen for the that brings my mitvah my request to hasem I'm going to do this mitzvah what's going to happen the that are looking to do good for are going to fight over who's going to bring your you're creating competition in heaven that's a good competition it's a good competition and that's says it's a very good thing to do but again make sure you deliver on your promise and make sure it's not like one of these like little uh Tic Tac candy promises Oh Yeah from now on I'm going to give a dollar to the homeless guy that's not a promise has to be a serious mitzvah and deliver on your mitvah if you fail one day try again the next day don't just decide that because you failed once you're always going to be a failure do whatever you can to deliver and you'll see big big things happen in your life uh but again it always has to be based on a solid foundation you have to have a ra you have to have aood a certain type of learning that you're doing every day if you just starting out it should be mainly after a little while you start learning the and other books after a little while after that you start learning with you know and so on but the point being is that everything has to have a solid foundation of the that way you'll be able to enjoy life just like the sages that enjoyed this world like it was Heaven because their mind was already in heaven one day we will reach we'll reach that mindset we'll reach the mindset of our forefathers we'll reach the mindset of the sages like and sanctify K's name to the highest level amen amen [Music] oh [Music]
