Mara Alexander B Mara LS Ben
Mara Amir Ben
shahin sha Ben faran benam
um David
Ben elad and all of is that are
supporting the and doing and especially
uh the ones that are uh helping our
organization and of course all of the
righteous noahides to watch our sh and
support and spend time getting other
people uh closer
to so we have
a and and uh uh to be honest with you I
am so excited about the K that I had
today uh that I just want to dance but
uh I'm going to leave you in suspense
because it has to do with this uh not
only with this
parasa uh but uh it comes at the end it
comes at the end of the par uh it comes
at the end of the Paras uh when I had
this K just uh earlier today I uh I
started to dance it's just that good of
course everybody's going to have their
perspective but I highly doubt anyone is
not going to get shocked when they hear
this uh but we have to get there we have
to build it up to there we have to learn
uh
the if you to in T and you got to
something good I believe you but if you
didn't toil in Torah and you tell me
that you know T I don't believe you why
that's not how you learn Tor that's not
how you get knowledge of Tor some people
pretend like they know Torah because
they just feel like God speaks to them
these are delusional people these are
people that need to be put in a
institution they are danger to
themselves and to society only way that
you gain toah is by learning toah and
learning not just learning when you
learn superficially but learning and
toiling and once in a while
gives you an Insight that is your
from says that there are insights there
are new insights new that only you can
bring into the world and therefore when
a person goes up to
sh if they toiled and they brought all
those Kim they get rewarded handsomely
because why they made they they magnify
the
Torah uh as they say like
to to make the Torah greater and and uh
more glorified but if they did not toil
in Tora and therefore did not get those
Kim to the world they get rebuked they
get punished why you are were
responsible for new insights that were
supposed to magnify the Torah and you
didn't do it therefore you uh you did
the
opposite so a person that uh that is
going to learn T has to know that it's
not not you're not doing anybody a favor
by learning to you're doing yourself a
favor but uh let's get on with
the I'll be honest with you I'm so
excited about this I can't even think
about anything
else will help me think about everything
else until we get to
the so we
have we have I don't know when I was
this excited about a it's been a long
time since I had something like this and
I uh uh I don't know it's not even a
matter of hoping that you like it or
don't like it uh to be quite Frank with
you I'm so excited about it I don't care
whether anyone likes or doesn't like it
because it's as it's to me as clear as
the heavens but um sometimes uh let you
see who's the B who owns the house and
uh it's it's m like a uh uh I don't know
how to explain it I honestly don't know
how to explain it if if if if you guys
weren't waiting for K and uh instead you
were waiting for somebody to dance I'd
be the dancer right now that's how
excited I am about this
K uh but anyway let's get let's get on
it let's get on it
um okay so we have last week par last
week's par we had mik we have one of the
most dramatic stories in the Torah where
after the uh the brothers
uh sell YF we have the whole uh uh jail
sentence that he
serves uh and for 12 years he's in
prison then uh he
uh uh you know the sentence from was
complete and uh showed us an Insight of
how decrees uh work from heaven where
when somebody uh has a uh terrible time
has a difficulty has a some type of
disaster uh they need to know that the
moment that that disaster was decreed
the end of that disaster was also
decreed and uh we learned that from last
week's par where it says
that that they hurried him out of the
hole the jail over there was a hole in
the ground a huge enormous filthy
disgusting hole with a lot of uh
criminals in there but uh when the
decree from heaven was over they hurried
him out of that hole why because he does
not he no longer belongs in that decree
in that evil decree and that terrible
decree in that uh nightmare of a life
that he lived for 12 years the decree is
over therefore you cannot suffer for an
extra minute more than it was decreed
for you in Sham this should give hope to
anybody out there that is suffering
through any type of trouble whether it's
a heartache or headache or whatever ache
uh you should know that that trouble
will be over and quite frankly if a
person does not know that the trouble
that they're dealing with will
eventually be over it is very very easy
to become
suicidal uh simply because uh what a
person doesn't think that their life
will ever get better and in fact the
misery that they're in is a permanent
misery it becomes impossible to uh get
your head around it and to uh and to
rationalize
a a reason to live uh of course if a
person has to in their life these types
of arguments do not cross their mind I
have a uh uh my my mother's uh sister
older sister uh Viola sh she's a
extraordinary sad for she did cha many
many years
ago and uh she was uh one of those
special sadikot that uh you uh you don't
need much uh before you realize this is
a very special person but uh my aunt uh
she had a life has a life that's
literally like the modern day job uh
just for a woman
terrible uh
difficulties that she's had uh where uh
you had uh you know her oldest son was
uh impr prisoned for uh for a crime that
after sitting in prison a life sentence
of over 20 years that he's been in
prison they just discovered that the
whole thing was a setup and he did not
commit the crime meaning he's been
sitting in prison for over 20 years for
nothing for absolutely nothing and one
of the good things that happened is that
he did Serious chuva in that prison
which is a miraculous story of itself
ended up getting married uh really
special special story but nonetheless
after they discovered that the whole
thing was a setup that the part of the
setup came from the police itself that
hated the family still they did not
release him they still have not released
him from prison uh because they want to
go through the uh through the uh
miserable uh uh process this is all over
Israeli News over the uh last couple of
years uh this is one of my uh cousins
then aside from that her uh uh our one
of our uh second oldest son uh he um he
is he was a fantastic fantastic human
being I remember when we were little
kids we used to look up to them they
were like the gim they were like the
heroes the heroes of the city of NATA uh
it's one of these uh just special people
really warm hearts and of course we all
got in trouble we all did stupid things
but nonetheless you know the uh when a
person's good they're good and
uh Shalom he uh uh one day got into a
motorcycle accident and died uh just uh
not too many years ago if that wasn't
bad enough or uh you know the uh I think
it was within like a uh a year or so of
that happening her husband died uh and
uh and on and on and on and on I mean I
could uh literally the amount of
difficulties that uh she has had in her
life is really unimaginable
unimaginable uh and I only know an ounce
of it uh cuz I'm not there and I'm not
as involved but I just hear from time to
time different things but uh I remember
when I uh when I went to Israel last
several years ago and uh I really wanted
to make it a point to see her cuz I
haven't seen her in many many years over
20 years uh almost probably 25 years
something like that and I went to see
her and uh such a special tadik such a
special woman and uh I've always admired
her even when I was a little kid uh I
always admired how she was modest and
put together even when I didn't know
what modesty was and I remember when I
went to Israel and you know I she heard
me say she was so excited about it uh
that literally you see started crying
hard and my other ant
ra and Viola and Dina my my mother has a
a big family of of sisters and a couple
of brothers and when I saw them it was
very exciting but when uh when I heard
something that uh she said I believe to
my mother at some point or to somebody
else that she said that if or I think
she even said it to me either way it's
printed in my mind for
years uh that if it wasn't
for her her fear of the almighty her
fear
of her love of surely she would have
committed suicide a long time
ago and that's one of the scariest most
real statements you could ever hear and
the reason why is because you when you
feel pain no one else can solve it for
you you feel pain you feel pain and
there are certain things that are
unsolvable and when a person does not
have any hope that this pain will
eventually be over the decree will be
over at some point it's very easy to
become suicidal unless you have t when
you have tah you know that this world is
simply a temporary world you're not
living here forever therefore any decree
that you have regardless of what it is
is temporary with the longest amount of
time that it could be it's just your
lifetime and needless to say most
decrees are much much shorter than your
lifetime so the decree on on
yadik was uh was a heavy decree he had
to be surrounded by criminals and
garbage for for many years but then when
it was
over showed us that when it's over it's
over
immediately after that the uh turned the
The Prisoner into the visero the most
powerful man in the world not just Egypt
but the most powerful man in the world
in the making initially became the most
powerful man in Egypt but then in the uh
this week par he becomes the most
powerful man in the world and it's with
with this particular Paras that we will
learn how to invest many many people
have asked me over the years how to
invest in the market how to make a lot
of money and so on I generally do not
like to speak about my business uh uh of
the past as far as how to do things
number one because it's not what I do
anymore I don't invest in the market not
a dollar not a penny not a nothing I
don't follow nothing uh once in a blue
moon somebody tells me what's happening
but generally speaking I don't follow uh
and number two I know what it comes with
meaning when you give people advice it
comes with baggage it comes with baggage
because if it uh if it works no one's
ever going to be grateful uh they all
own the idea because everyone thinks the
more money they have there the smarter
they are but then they'll come back to
you for more and they'll keep bothering
you forever and if it doesn't work
they'll never stop bothering you again
so in so many words I simply don't do it
uh especially since it's a it's a
responsibility it's a headache I already
have enough that I have to deal with and
quite frankly uh you know if I'm not
getting uh paid for it why would I do it
there's no benefit to it it's not going
to help anybody's life and if you tell
me no no but if I make more money then
I'll donate more money spare me the
nonsense you can give you could sell
that to some homeless person that has no
brain no experience and is gullible to
believe that stupidity anyone that wants
to donate is welcome to donate anyone
that doesn't want to donate don't worry
it's not uh it's not going to hurt us in
any way we simply feel bad that you
don't have the Merit to donate but the
reality is is that there's been many
times that people have asked me to uh
you know uh help them with uh
investing and today you're going to get
a sh about investing uh but it's not
going to be your uh traditional sh I'm
not going to start showing you charts
I'm not going to tell you to follow any
particular pattern I'm going to tell you
a fullprof system of how to invest in
anything in the world if you follow this
system uh to uh to the T there's a uh
certainty that according to the
statistics that you will succeed uh if
you do not follow it to the te then you
will not succeed meaning it's not
guaranteed because obviously you could
poti potentially pick bad Investments
but the strategy itself is fullprof it's
the way that the uh the most successful
people in history have invested whether
it be uh the ones that you know of today
uh such as the Warren buffets of or or
the the top hedge fund managers the uh
uh in the world uh or it is the uh you
know the the former tycoons uh uh the
Roth Childs and uh and you know and the
other uh
uh tycoons that have lived over the
years now in reality none of them
invested anything because all of it is
in the tah as I always tell you what I
learn I learned one thing early on and I
see a proof of it and every single week
every single time I learn T everything
is in a
t says the
M toil in it and toil in it because
everything is in it
literally everything is in it including
this you now anyone that wants to learn
something if they're going to learn it
from some uh Flesh and Blood person that
has wisdom that he gained throughout the
world you can gain certain things you
can lose certain things but when you
learn something from a tah it's
guaranteed success why because it
becomes Divine it's the Divine
instructions and of course many people
that have listened to the T succeeded EX
extraordinarily and one of the places we
see is in this week's par so after the
whole craziness that happened last week
where we saw that the brothers come to
buy food and then YF tries to see
whether they have done chuva for selling
him 20 years before that or not whether
they're still adamant about their
mistake or not you know he wants to
check and the way he checks is by asking
them to go bring their younger brother
which is his full brother both from the
mother and the father whereas the rest
of the brothers are only common father
yov and he wants to see Benyamin and of
course in order to trap uh Benyamin in
order to see what the brothers will do
if the circumstances were the same
meaning that uh Benyamin uh could
potentially be uh uh uh a his new slave
uh the um yep's New slave which at this
point they believe he's a uh he's a
pharaoh he's a he's a visoy of Egypt so
with that being said we start into this
week's it
says then approached him meaning he
approached yourf not knowing that he's
yourf yet he approached yourf and said
if if you please my Lord may your
servant speak a word in my Lord's ears
and let not your anger flare up at your
servant for you are like Po you are like
Pharaoh what does it mean you like like
Pharaoh what does it mean Pharaoh you're
powerful why is y yudah was a lion was a
GI the uh the
uh says that when there was the wars of
the tribes when the tribes went to war
with the different nations of Canan
after the whole thing that happened with
daa being raped and then Shimon and Levi
destroyed the whole city of
Shem the nations of Kanan all attacked
the family because it say it's not uh
who gave you guys permission to go kill
one of our uh friends you killed an
entire people because they raped one
girl what are you guys doing so they
sent their entire armies armies full of
giants armies full of weapons huge
monsters all types of things anyone that
reads the midashim literally it puts all
of the superhero films you've ever
watched to shame it's it's it's it's the
stuff that's in
the they haven't thought about it in
Hollywood and quite frankly if you
actually uh look deep enough into the uh
the the people that actually originated
the stories of the superhero fil films
of today you'll see that practically
every one of them is a former
that went off the and went into
Hollywood that's actually what happened
either that or they learned from
somebody that's a former pretty much all
of the stories come from the tah and
because they stopped learning apparently
they haven't come up with all of the
stories from the tah because the stories
of the wars of the tribes are some of
the most fantastic stories out there
either way y when he would fight these
Jew uh Warriors and Giants he uh would
be literally like uh the equivalent
of the uh fake superhero in the films
called The Incredible Hulk where he was
powerful he would Roar and literally
buildings would be destroyed as a result
of his Roar he would hit something and
Destroy many things literally uh in one
day in one of the wars he killed 30,000
people by himself I mean real real
details they have exact figures exact
places exact times a lot of really
details that you can't just come up with
out of the uh out of your uh
imagination uh another interesting
feature that was that udah had is that
when he would Roar there would be a
piece of copper that came out of his
body uh all types of interesting things
so this is now in a in a argument and
he's coming to YF the viso and he says
you are like let me tell you something
you're like par now if if you're trying
to pick a fight with
me why what's how are you insulting me
by telling me you're like
par how are you insulting me by telling
me like Paro if you're trying to fight
with me trying to argue with me saying
that I'm like Paro I mean technically
that could be a death sentence because
you're uh you're in essence embarrassing
the King which is po himself so if
you're trying to fight with me I mean I
guess perhaps you're asking for a death
sentence but if you're trying to appease
me how is telling me that I'm like going
to help our little argument and this is
one of the secrets that uh you learn
from here where anytime a person has a
toah in his mind they're able to contain
themselves even at a a a Moment of Truth
a difficult moment where you really have
a uh uh the desire to argue but you know
that arguing is not going to get you
anywhere good you need to contain
yourself so what do you do
try to get to a reasonable stand but if
you're dealing with somebody that is in
a more powerful position than you or
perhaps a person that thinks that
they're better than everybody else one
of the ways that you can calm them down
is simply by giving them a compliment
giving them a compliment giving them a
little bit of kab and that's in essence
what a uh Y is doing here strategizing
by saying listen you are like par you're
powerful you are so powerful you have
whole countries and everything else
we're nothing we're just a regular
people we made a mistake I'll be your
slave don't take the little boy he has
to go back to his father and he starts
the argument which even though he is uh
very commanding and he Stern with
everything that he's saying he is trying
not to fight because he believes that
this decree is certainly from God and
therefore okay you're right we're wrong
and we're going to follow according to
the Tor we stole there's a decree
there's a rule of the land we're going
to follow the rule of the land but let's
please be reasonable you're par you are
very powerful at the very least take me
instead of the boy why because if the
boy is a uh uh doesn't come back my
father's going to die because my father
is so deeply connected to him
spiritually that he literally would die
he would die from pain
if uh if he does not see his young boy
come back home uh and uh you that keeps
his
composure keeps his composure and tries
to reason
with so here we also learn another
secret where uh in uh the first chapter
in verse number 22 it says UD says that
we said to my Lord the youth cannot
leave his father for should he leave his
father he will die now the fact that the
father loves that yov loves his son fine
we understand that but why would the
youth Die Why would the youth die
because his father loves him so this is
where you have to read the commentaries
now you're not going to find find it in
any commentary you're going to find it
if you study you study to you're going
to see the same places that I said if
you go to uh to to you go to Mid you go
to many of the mid you're going to see
that each one of the tribes not just y
each one of the tribes had certain
powers and the power that uh Benyamin
had is that he would turn into a
werewolf literally he would turn into a
werewolf at night and uh that's why the
blessing that yov gives the Son and the
sign and the flag of of Benyamin is the
wolf a uh so the point is is that
Benyamin would actually turn into
werewolf and the reason why yov was
scared to let him go with with the
brothers to Egypt was because every
night he would turn into a werewolf and
since he was still young and uh not at
his full strength and does not have all
the protection and everything else
that uh some of the older brothers have
some of the strength that the older
brothers had yob was afraid that if the
Egyptians found out that he's a werewolf
that kill him so that's why if he left
my father he would die why because yob
himself was a hero yob himself was a
hero was was a powerful person that we
already learned from uh the previous par
where before he went to the uh the house
of lvan he was able to pick up a boulder
that uh uh you know that all of the
people together had to pick up by you
know together he was able to fling it
like a bottle cap so he was a very
powerful person and also when he went to
the wars with the uh with all of the
nations of Kanan they yob had a bow and
arrow a special bow and arrow where this
bow and arrow was simply like a uh the
unending missile he would simply send a
uh an arrow and the uh the bow the the
arrow would would simply just non-stop
killing people one Arrow would kill
thousands of people unbelievable
hundreds of people so the things that uh
uh you you saw you learned from this
like wow why would anybody ever watch
television when you have such beauty in
the Tora itself when you have such
beauty in to quite frankly when you
watch some of these movies you compare
them to t you say listen the uh the the
Torah first of all is a lot more
realistic uh even with the supernatural
stuff until they short Chang the uh the
stuff that's in the movies is not
anywhere near what's in the toah is much
better
anyway here we have this whole thing
where yah is trying to appease this
visery
now after the
visoy which is yourf says
no no they uh you
said you know please let your servant
remain instead of the
youth YF says no no no
no I can't do that can't do
that he's going to be my
servant he's going to be my
servant not anybody else and at that
moment at that moment that's when the
battle got heated because that's when y
saw that this cannot be from Heaven this
cannot be from Heaven why because it no
longer made
sense if you really just looking to get
a servant because you feel like you have
been taken advantage of fine so take me
as a servant clearly I'm more powerful
than Benyamin you says I'm smarter than
him I have more more experience than him
I'm the leader of the tribe I'm going to
be your Serv it but since you don't want
me and you insist on having him
obviously you have bad intentions you
have evil intentions strange intentions
this cannot be from Hashem this is not a
decree from sh there's something wrong
here and that's when the battle gets
heated and he starts uh preparing for
battle first thing he
tells the mid says he tells naali go and
go around all of Egypt tell tell me
exactly how many cities he has and how
many points of attack we have to
goali had a speed that he would be able
to go around the entire city in moments
I think in today's uh Comics World they
call that some guy named
flash naali went in a matter of moments
he came back reported to Yuda that there
are 12 places in Egypt Yuda says to each
one of the Brothers you take that City
you take that City you take that City
I'm going to take two cities everybody
has one I'm going to take two and now
you have a fight he tells
ysf if you do not agree to the terms I'm
pleading with you we will destroy all of
Egypt and we'll start off with by
killing
you at that
moment Yuda tries to take out his
sword and
he's not capable of doing
it he's not capable of doing
it then there's a
roar a roar that's unlike anything
they've ever
heard outside of their own house coming
from y's
son the roar That Shook the entire Place
made an
earthquake and at that second you
understood this is not coming from
theim this is from the house of yov what
is this what is this Roar what is this
power how are they stopping me where is
this YF getting this power and it says
that because he sees his brothers are
ready to fight for Benyamin they're
ready to fight they're ready to die for
him they're ready to do everything that
not going to let him go and he sees ah
they're not going to repeat the mistake
they made over 20 years ago with me
they're not going to repeat the mistake
they already they feel the pain they're
willing to die just not to make the same
mistake it says that y that YF could no
longer restrain himself he kicks out all
of his
servants and he says one of the most
emotional statements where every single
year that I read the Paras I always
start like shivering when I hear this
start shivering and uh today was no
different shows me they still have some
uh some uh some connection to the
Tora and uh he says that
he tells a uh he can't restrain himself
anymore he kicks out
[Applause]
everybody he cried in a loud voice Egypt
heard and Pharaoh's household
heard and ysf said to his brothers I am
YF is my father still
alive but his brothers could not answer
him because they were left disconcerted
before
him the second that YF said he is their
brother is the father still
alive who showed each and every single
one of the
brothers everything that has
transpired over the last 22 years their
whole rationale of what they did and how
they made the mistake of a
Lifetime by selling their brother and
not only selling him putting him in
danger throwing him into a hole full of
snakes and
scorpions selling him for a des graceful
price that could not even buy a pair of
shoes because they feel they they felt
that he is trying to go against the
kingdom steal the kingdom but in reality
he was simply delivering a prophecy that
a who gave him they saw how they made a
mistake of a Lifetime by not going to
the and asking what's the D here they
saw how they pined wrong
and when a person that
has realizes that they passing wrong
realize that they just made a mistake
immediately immediately that person has
a horrible feeling the greater
the the greater that horrific feeling
that
trepidation that
horror but even when a person is not
just looking at a single thing but
rather an entire lifetime over 20 year
of mistakes he realizes that he made a
mistake that led to more mistakes and
they've been living a life over 20 years
they've been lying to their father for
over 20 years they've been lying to
themselves for over 20 years
V they got so scared at the fact that
they made such a great mistake AK all of
them died they all had a heart attack
and died that's what the uh the say they
all they couldn't speak because they
were uh disconcerted what's disconcerted
they died
and resurrected them all from the
dead and say to us
WOTE to us on a day of judgment WOTE to
us on a day of
rebuke if the brothers of that were that
only made a single mistake literally
died because they realized how they made
a mistake died from that mistake what
will happen to us when we are at the of
sh and tells us we lived an entire
lifetime of mistakes we didn't have we
didn't keep Shabbat we didn't protect
our eyes we kept looking at everything
like a water
fountain everything that moved we looked
we kept chasing money we were T we
didn't study Tor like we're supposed to
we lied we cheated we did all these
different things but when the rabbi said
listen you got to come to the sh don't
worry Rabbi I'm coming even though you
know you're not coming he say the Rabbi
says listen you do your me Rabbi don't
worry I know already you haven't learned
since it originated
from the rabbi asked you did you learn
the weekly par don't worry Rabbi I
already know it from last year you don't
even know which par it is and what's the
name and you can lie to the rabbi you
could fool the rabbi you could fool a
lot of people but at the bed of sh you
cannot fool anybody and when a person is
shown every single one of their lies
every single one of their actions and
every single one of their thoughts and
not only shown them but actually is put
through the motion of going through that
sin going through that emotion when he
thought about somebody else's
wife brings his friend's wife that
person's wife and that person his best
friend his brother and they witness him
looking at his friend's wife look
looking at his brother's wife and saying
wow I think I should marry her she's not
good for him she's good for me and his
brother is right next to him he says
that's what you were thinking when you
look at my wife and I invited you for
shabas that's what you were thinking how
could you do that the poor sadik looks
at him and says that's what you thought
about me when you said thank you for the
food I liked it you thought that maybe I
would catch on that's what you thought
about out every single one of the sins
every single one of the thoughts the
filthy disgusting thoughts
a if we all had to report if I had to
report my own sins forget the thought
just simply the sins that is that I've
made in my life there would not be
enough time for the world to continue
and the list would continue what Miracle
the kadh gave me on a silver ploted to
allow me to do Chua and at the very
least try to fix it by getting people to
do Chua and thereby trying to sanctify
his name and turn all of those sins into
mitv because there's simply no other way
to fix it there's no other way to fix it
you cannot simply just erase it you
can't just erase the fact that you
killed a person you shot a bullet and it
hits somebody oh I'm sorry okay Sorry's
not going to bring him back to life life
same thing when it comes to wasting seed
same things when it comes to all types
of crimes you stole money you cheated
you lied you uh whatever you did each
and every single one of us has a has an
account and I'm talking about myself you
guys may all be sikim I don't know I'm
telling you that before I knew what the
Torah is I thought I was perfect when I
learned to I realized that I will never
be perfect not only I wasn't I will
never be perfect and the only hope that
I have is to help people do Chua because
if I had to Simply do a lecture about my
own sins from the past and it wasn't
killing people and it wasn't stealing
money and it wasn't anything against the
laws of the land but it was against the
Torah if I had to report it there would
literally not be enough ink in the world
to report those sins and needless to say
if I had to report my thoughts May
Hashem have mercy just on the thought of
having those thoughts and even more so
if has to put me through the hell of
actually showing me all the things that
I thought of and all the things that I
did and put me through it I have no
doubt in my mind I will ask him to put
me in the seventh level of Gom and say
thank you at the
end the reality is that the more a
person understands where they stand in
reality the more they realize how much
they're obligated to love AEM not just
fear Him obligated to love for the fact
that he gave you the opportunity to do
from all of the filth that you got
yourself involved in when you lived
without him the fact that allows a
person like me to do chuv needless to
say to get people to do
Chu uses somebody like that was in the
50th level of Tuma put me in this world
to go help different people from all
over the world by the dozens by the
hundreds by the thousands to go come
back to fight the wars of I tell all the
time even if I don't have a single Merit
in sh let it me at least be a tool that
you use to get people to serve you why
it simply makes life worth it without it
there's no reason when a person
understands what they did against their
maker that gives them everything in the
world he gives you panasa he gives you a
wife a husband kids uh vision and it
gives you all types of things that you
don't even think is a big
deal says one of the easiest ways that
you can fall in love in hem is simply by
thinking about all the problems other
people have and you don't you never
broke a hand you know how many people
break their hand and how much how much
pain that is you never broke a bone that
alone is a reason for you to love hem
that alone is a reason for you to love
hem that you never broke a bone you know
how many people suffer breaking bones
you never lost an eyee you know how many
people lose their eyes you know what
kind of miserable life it is to not have
eyes to be to be blind you never lost
your your hearing you have your hearing
you know how many people suffer with
difficult hearing or being deaf
altogether you never lost all your money
you know how many people lose all of
their
money you never went lonely you got
married right away without a problem you
know how many people are still looking
for a wife or a husband at later
ages when a person realizes how many
problems other people have that were not
decreed on them that alone is a reason
for you to fall in love with hem says
Shalom when a person understands what
they did instead of loving hasem all of
the crimes they made against
Society both in the world and in
heaven where instead of loving aadh for
all of the bad things that he didn't do
to you
instead we did bad things against theem
we did bad things against people we were
invited for for for a dinner and instead
of saying thank you we were looking in
the wrong places we're invited to do
business and instead of doing business
we were stealing or looking at different
ways of how to take
advantage we were invited to uh come eat
and instead of saying thank you for the
food we were simply criticizing
everything that was there and how it's
not appropriate and not up to your
standards
and on and on and on if a person simply
thinks about
that immediately they should shiver no
different than how the tribes were
shivering and that's why the
says that if the
tribes literally died from the fear of
the fact that they made one alic
mistake how are
we waling around with full confidence
that we're all going to go to
heaven and not even realizing that
there's not a day or even an hour that
passes by without us making a mistake
how is it
possible so this is a very very
difficult rebuke it's as truth as it
gets but
it's it's something that we all need to
take into
consideration
now after all of this after this meeting
the emotional meeting the uh the
brothers hug they after they come back
to
life there's a lot of Tears
discussion and the
uh before he uh before he sends them off
to go bring his
father he gives each one of them
gifts and he tells them here this is for
you this is for you this is for you each
person gets three different
suits
but Benyamin gets
five perhaps the reason why Benyamin got
five is the same reason why he got five
portions when they were eating in last
week's par anyone that saw the
commentary over there sees that it's a
uh while the other brothers got their
portion Benyamin got his portion like
theirs but he also got a portion from
a portion from men a portion from
Ephraim the two sons of YF and a portion
fromat osnat the the wife of YF that was
actually the
sister-in-law uh the sister-in-law of of
of Benyamin but also technically the uh
uh uh close relative because she was
actually the daughter of Dina and this
brings us to uh another interesting
thing where you have
this week's par you have a lot of
interesting uh insights about powerful
women in
Judaism powerful women in Judaism that
mentioned in this week's par where you
have the uh when there's the uh they
come back to yob to tell him that YF is
still alive after a whole testing and
making sure that really is alive the uh
yov says let's go we're all going and he
takes the whole family
70 70 people now when they're mentioning
in the par these 70
people it says that there was
a is one of the people these are uh
ruven's Sons H Shimon Sons I'm sorry
Shimon sons and Sha Sha was the son of a
Canaanite woman so the said what is this
Shimon tadik one of the tribes could it
possibly be that Shimon married a
Canaanite woman even though his
grandfather his uh great-grandfather and
his father forbid it is it possible that
Shimon married a kenite a cursed woman
obviously it's not possible so what's
the truth here the truth here is that
the kenite woman is Dina Dina that was
actually his sister from a different
mother Shimon married
DIN and they had the son sha so that's
why sha is called sha the son of the
Canaanite woman because Dina was raped
by Canaanite uh uh the uh the
uh so because she was raped by the
Canaanite she's called the uh the
Canaanite woman and the only reason why
Shimon married her is because she was in
such depression after this rape she
refused to leave the house
because the baby that came out of that
rape constantly reminded her of the rape
so
yobu made a decree what's the decree
we're going to take this little baby
this baby girl we're going to send her
off to Egypt why just that's it she's
still part of am don't worry yob says I
got a plan for her too he puts a special
Medallion on his baby tells her exactly
who she
is
then Dina is gonna restart our life get
married Shimon marries agrees to marry
daa agrees to marry Dina and they
consummate the marriage and they have a
child and that's sha Shaul is the son of
Shimon and Dina now what happens to this
uh this little baby that goes to Egypt
she gets adopted by ptif ptif and they
adopt this little girl now one day
there's a young man named ysf that goes
into the house of a of potifa as a
servant of course everybody knows the
story where the wife of potifar tries to
meet with uh with YF and potifar himself
who is a homosexual actually bought uh
bought bought y because he wanted to
make homosexual crimes with him now also
say that saw in a dream that uh uh the
uh there's going to be a a lot of holy
things coming from ysf his children uh
have to do with the Mia and so on and
she wanted to be part of it meaning it
came from a good place if you will but
she didn't realize that it's not going
to be from her but rather her adopted
daughter why because after YF was uh
released from the prison remember where
it says that last week's par that uh
took come on a his uh special uh
Carriage which was the there was the
king's carriage and there was the this
the uh uh secondary carriage or
replacement uh Carriage that the king
had and he gave it to YF and ysf went
through the entire city all over Egypt
and all of the people were screaming
a now the uh the women that saw the
beauty of YF threw their underwear at
him
YF that was a sadik looked down didn't
see any of the women who were throwing
their their uh clothing at him wanting
to propose to him wanting to marry him
but then he got a medallion thrown at
him he picks up The Medallion and he
sees there's Hebrew engravement on this
Medallion and he says who's this woman
who is that woman that's oat he says
that's who I want to marry I want to
marry osnat that's the daughter of ptif
the very same guy that put me in prison
because of his wife I want to marry her
why because she is the only Jew in Egypt
this also this also answers the question
for all of those people that say wait a
minute if YF married a girl in Egypt so
what your married some Gentile no
nothing works like that you just have to
learn all of the behind the scenes in
order to know how manipulates the world
like putty like body and he sent already
the the cure for the ill 20 years before
there was an ailment 20 years before
there was an ailment he sent
UT and that's the other uh girl that's a
woman that's
mentioned that's mentioned in this
week's par you have the which is you
have
the that's mentioned this week's par you
also
have is also mentioned why is mentioned
there are many other sisters in the
family why is Sak mentioned because Sak
got a special blessing from yov her
grandfather when they gave the news to
uh to yob
that is still
alive they knew that this is big news so
it's could give him a heart attack could
be dangerous to give somebody such big
news uh at one shot so they sent Sak to
go play a tune of music and and sing for
yov before they gave him the news in
order to put him in a good mood so he is
able to accept good
news and uh initially yob did not
realize why his granddaughter is in his
uh bet midash
singing But as soon as they came with
the news in the carriages he realized
that she just saved his life and he gave
sah sah the daughter of Aer a blessing
to never die and Sak is one of the 10
people that never died and went to
heaven with a clothes on she never died
and she's actually the one that told
mosenu hundreds of years later after the
whole uh uh ex Exodus happened after
everything happened with Egypt with the
slaves and everything else we're talking
about hundreds of years later cuz mosenu
was born 130 years after this week's
par was just born and then he only came
back to be the mashia that took us out
of Egypt 80 years later so we're talking
about 210 years after this par sah is
the one that tells mosu where y's bones
are buried which was inside the Nile
River because they were hiding in
because the Egyptians were worshiping y
now Sak got this blessing another that
got an extraord ordinary blessing so
here we have the Dina we have a
um we have and then we have a fourth
woman who is the fourth woman y y the
mother of M where she if where she
mentioned in the par literally she's not
mentioned but she's mentioned in the
numbers where when it says uh that uh
yov uh came to to Egypt it gives all the
numbers and then it says zon's
Sons uh and daughters are all all the
people all his sons are numbered 33 uh
what's 33 if you do the numbers of all
of the different people you see it's
really 32 so say why is 3 33 33 because
the 33rd one was born right when they
got to the Border or to the gates of
Egypt y was born y was born and then say
wait a minute if she was born then that
means that uh she gave birth to mosu
when she was 130 years old yes so how
come the T didn't make such a big deal
out of it but yet it made a big deal out
of Sarah giving birth at 90 years old
couple of reasons couple of reasons that
are very simple number one the uh the uh
the whole uhh thing with Y wasn't as
miraculous as uh as Sarah because y
already had children that's number one
number two Sarah did not even have a
uterus so she didn't have the body part
in her body to have a child so the age
wasn't the biggest deal out of the story
of sah it was a uh complete uh
transformation of the
body either way after this I know we're
already almost an hour into the shoe and
I haven't got to neither my K nor the
the business advice but now we're going
get to
it so now we have
YF gives the uh the brothers some
insights before you go meet make sure to
tell them that you are all Shepherds why
because shepherds are disgusting in the
eyes of the Egyptians
to disgusting is to and there are plenty
of places in the Tora where it says
there are certain things that are
considered to homosexuality to a
idolatry is a TOA all types of things
that arrogance is a TOA uh this is one
of the place we learn what the word TOA
means is from this par that it's
disgusting uh it means disgusting and
here we're talking about how shepherds
are disgusting they're considered lower
class in the eyes of the Egyptians YF
says tell them that you are Shepherds
why because if you go into the business
world with the Egyptians Shem you may
become an Egyptian we don't want that we
want you to stay a Jew
what about don't worry
about we have a strategy we have a
strategy says that sustained his father
his brothers and all the father's
household with food according to the
children later on it also says that uh
YF uh YF uh gave a uh sustenance to all
of the Egyptians also according to the
children why does it keep mentioning why
does to say according to the
family to show the R the mercy of a Jew
that is not only to help somebody but to
help somebody according to their needs
there are many times people think that
they're helping somebody just by giving
them whatever they have oh here here you
go here's 20 bucks go go go and they
think that's helping somebody that's not
helping somebody when you see how Kos
who helps people he helps them according
to their standards if somebody was rich
and then decreed for that person to lose
all of his
money if you're going to help him you
have to help him according to his
standards meaning that if he's used to
eating steak you have to help him eat
steak if he's used to driving a a good
car you can't just give him some garbage
car and say listen it's better than
nothing that's not the way to help why
because when AOS brings a Salvation he
brings a Salvation to each and every
single person even a person that's going
through a difficulty according to their
standards I witnessed this with my own
life I could see how nursed us and
nurtured us even throughout the great
decline that we had and we lost all the
money and blah blah
blah never put us in a situation where
we had to beg for
anything even when there were test where
there was literally zero money in the
bank still there was never any food
missing still there was never any real
feeling of true
poverty always babied us and that's one
of the things that yadik is doing here
yadik is saying listen each one of you
is not just needing of food needing of P
but also you have to get helped based on
the amount of kids that you have why
because it's known that kids waste food
it's a well-known thing you give a kid
food no no but I want that okay you go
yeah but I want that okay here you go
yeah but I want that but kid you're 5
years old you're going to eat a meal for
six people yeah yeah I'm going to eat it
I'm going to eat it please please I want
I want I want it okay fine you give the
kid all the food that he wants he takes
three bites and he walks away and you
have two and a half plates of wasted
food it's a known thing kids waste
food is not just called a sadik for
nothing he says if I'm going to help my
brothers I'm going to give you according
to the kids because I'm going to give
you extra according to how many kids you
have are because it's known that kids
are going to be wasteful I'm not going
to give you oh you have five members in
your house you have six members in your
house you have eight members in the
house and everybody gets according to
the members $100 a person no no no if
you have five members but three of them
are little kids I'm going to give you a
certain amount if you have five members
in your house but only one of them is a
kid and the rest of them are adults I'm
going to give you a different amount why
because the adults are not as wasteful
they're not as wasteful and he gave
customized
solutions to each and every single
person but to show that it wasn't
favoritism just for his brothers he also
did it for the
Egyptians now how did your how did yourf
go to the point of teaching
us how to invest how to invest in a
fullprof way fullprof
way and also show us that the Torah is
divine unlike the the uh the new
testament which which we also like to uh
call false Testament or the Quran all of
these other false uh false documents
that have nothing in it that's worth
worth a penny how does the Tora show us
not only the uh strategy for
success but also that this success is
guaranteed because it's coming from the
Tor and the Torah itself it's divine
this is how it is hold on to your chairs
you're about to get a shoe that's a
separate shoe of its own but this Sho is
going to prove to you two major points
that will change your life if you take
it into account first and foremost
says so after everybody settled down it
says YF gathered all of the money that
was to be found in the land of Egypt and
in the land of Canan through the
provisions that they were purchasing and
YF bought brought the money into the
pharaoh's Palace what does he need all
of this money what does he need all of
this
money step number one of
investing when things are good the
market is
high which the market
was at this time when there was s years
of
sustenance what did yourself do that
almost nobody in the world is doing
today unless they're a expert
investor he gathered cash how do you
gather cash how do you get more cash
during good times you sell yeah but
everybody else is buying and the market
keeps going higher exactly that's when
it's time to sell your Bitcoin went from
zero to I don't know 50,000 sell yeah
but it could go to 100,000 let it go to
a zillion doesn't make a differ
difference you made your money move on
move on where do I buy no where do I buy
now nothing the market has gone up for
13 years straight it's not normal you
are more likely to lose than you are to
gain yeah but I'm maybe I'm going to
miss out okay then you're an idiot and
you're going to end up losing all of
your money you don't know how to invest
what do you do in a market Peak like
this you sell everything that you can as
soon as you can why because it's gotten
to a point where you're more likely to
lose than to gain because the biggest
part of the profits have already been
made yeah but I'm afraid of missing out
no no you're not getting the point this
is not a preservation strategy this is a
moneymaking strategy how is selling
everything a money-making strategy tune
in and you'll listen and understand how
this is a money-making strategy when
everything is profited it is gain and
you've made your money you get out you
sell your property you sell your stocks
you sell your Bitcoins you sell your
whatever else was created in the world
that to make some type of fictitious
money sell everything gather liquidity
and after that step number two do
nothing stay on the sidelines don't even
watch the
news don't buy anything just gather as
much cash as possible and and simply sit
on the sidelines that's what ysf did
when everything was going good ysf
gathered all of the money from
everything that Egypt
had and brought it to the house of
Po after the decree of starvation famine
everything
came YF
had what to give the people which is the
food they needed he had the
ability to see what was going to happen
before it happened as we saw from the
beginning of par from the from the dream
of but knowledge in itself is not enough
you have to take action and he took
action and he was able for to prepare
for this decline by having all of the
food ready but how did this become a
money-making
operation
because YF
gave them
food but they ran out of
money so YF said
okay now that you ran out of
money
now I need you to give
me your properties your
animals your everything
else your cows are worth nothing if
they're not going to eat your buildings
are worth nothing if you're going to be
dead the market has crashed the market
has gone down 50 60 70% no one wants to
buy anything because everyone thinks
it's going to go to zero yadik takes
step number two all of that money that
you
gathered now you buy when nobody else
wants to buy everyone simply can't wait
to sell everything they have because
they think it's going to zero because
it's a major crisis it looks like the
whole world is going to get destroyed
I'm going to go back to caveman
times that's when you
buy when everyone out there is literally
throwing up and just simply predicting
that this horror this depression will
never end that's when you buy you take
that cash you've been sitting with on
the sidelines and that's when you buy
you don't buy Market tops you buy when
everybody's selling at a hurry it's a
major crisis certain Investments have
gone down 80 90%
95% that's when you buy yeah but if it
goes down another 5% it's going to go to
zero if it's a legitimate asset it can't
go to zero it can go lower but not to
zero you have to obviously be a you know
a Sav investor to know what's worth
what but you have to understand that you
have to do
this with preparation you can't sell
when everybody else is selling and
expect to make money you have to already
be sitting on the sidelines for a while
it could be even years and then when
everybody else is selling that's when
you put all of the money to work all of
the money to work you go full in on the
things that you've done research on and
the things that you know what they worth
and so on you put everything in
there and after that you simply
wait that's what did and it
says says that YF acquired all of the
land of Egypt for parau for every
Egyptian sold the field because the
famine had overwhelmed them and the land
became peros
here we see that step number two of
money making is to buy when everybody is
selling that is byy low byy Buy Low sell
High that's where it originates from the
toah but it's not buy low because you
looked at some chart and eventually the
uh the investment is going to go lower
the Stock's going to go lower no that's
not buy low sell High Buy Low sell High
originates from the Torah where you are
preparing by selling High first to
gather
cash and then you wait until it becomes
obnoxiously and irrationally
low and no one else wants to buy it
that's when you buy
it and then you reap the extraordinary
profits why because eventually things
normalize and that investment that went
down 90% suddenly
recovers 30% of the way there now that
may not seem like much because if you
owned it at where it was you owned it at
100 and it went down to 10 and now it's
back up to 30 the guy that owned at 100
still down 70% in reality not much has
changed for him but the guy that bought
it at 10 or 12 or 15 that guy just
doubled or tripled his
money without it recovering to where it
was at some bubble price we're not we're
not delusional to think that things will
recover to they used to be that's not
how you make money you make money mostly
by determined on your purchase price on
the purchase price not the selling price
not the uh fictitional price that a
fluctuation every day that's how you
make money in business regardless with
it's real estate stocks or anything else
in the world it's all determined based
on when you buy it not anything else not
the charts not the weather not the price
president not the economy Nothing Else
Matters simply put your purchase price
will determine already whether you're
going to succeed in investment or not
again this is based on Market rationale
everything of course is decreed by K
whether someone will profit or lose is
is determined by but if a person puts
their and wants to be a Savvy investor
if you're already going to be in the
market and you're trying to be a
millionaire know that millionaires are
not being made today
millionaires are not being made today
millionaires that exist today already
started years ago the only people that
going to make money out of this Market
are people that get out of this Market
completely liquidate everything and sit
on the sidelines as if they don't know
what the market is they don't know what
real estate is they don't know what
stocks are they don't know what anything
is all of their money is in cash and
they don't talk about they don't think
about nothing until everything crashes
until they see the headlines of every
newspapers that there's blood on the
street streets everybody wants to sell
everything the world is going to zero
that's when they get the money out and
that's when they start buying and they
go full all in I've done this a couple
times in my career when I was on Wall
Street and that was the major success
couple times that we had that bigger
than anything else bigger than anything
else now if a person wants to do that
and that alone of course that'll make
them very successful but it's not going
to make them a likable person or a
person that anyone admires what's going
to be a true success if you do step
number three step number three that says
here
here we have the last step and also the
of allim it was worth it to be born just
to listen to this k
step number three of success real
success not just monetary
success
is what yadik is teaching us
now chapter 47 verse number 23 YF says
to the people to the Egyptians look I
have acquired you this day with your
land for par here a seed for you SE the
land at the in gathering of the Harvest
you will give a fifth to
par the other four parts shall be yours
a seed for the field and food for
yourselves and for your household and to
feed your young
ones remember what we said about extra
for the young ones because they
waste and they said you have saved Our
Lives May we find favor in your eyes my
Lord and we will be serves to
par so YF imposed it as a statue till
this day remember that statement till
this day regarding the land of Egypt it
was par for the
fifth here we see that YF acquired
everything that these people
had they ate all the food that he
already gave them but they still needed
more YF says we already made our killing
we already made all our money we already
have
everything I could turn you all into
slaves I own you but I'm not going to do
that only a tyrant does that only a
pharaoh does that only a dictator does
that I'm a Jew you know what I'm going
to do I'm going to give you an
opportunity to
succeed how give them jobs give them
opportunities he gives them back
property their property the property
they're familiar with and he says you
work the
land you do everything and all we want
from you is a 20% tax rate that's it you
keep 80% the property in reality is Mars
we're giving it back to you we're giving
you opportunities to succeed I can tell
you listen you work the property you're
my slave I'll give you 500 bucks a week
I could tell you I give you 500 bucks a
year the depending on where you live in
the world I can tell you listen you work
the land I'll give you 10% of the
profits 20% of the profits yourf says no
to make a society succeed you have to
make sure that people have the
opportunity to succeed in a big way if
you want the economy to grow it is not
based on the tax rate it's not based on
the uh the uh the the technology it's
not based on a lot of things what it's
based on is do people want to be here
and why would they want to be here
because they see that there's an
opportunity to make it big but if you
tax them to such a point where you say
listen you're going to do all the work
and we're going to take half the
prophets Guess what at all times those
people that succeed are going to look
for ways to cheat the system look for
ways to pay less this is what happens in
America and all of these other countries
but the reason why Egypt grew
tremendously whereby YF became the most
powerful person in the world the leading
economy in the world after this happened
is because he gave everybody an
opportunity to succeed by giving them
the work by doing the kindness to them
even though they were not Jews I'm
giving you the opportunity to work I'm
giving you the opportunity to make a lot
of money you're going to make 80% of the
money just be honest when it comes to
paying back to the kingdom you pay
20% now this sounds good but this is
where it gets better the says to
us every sentence is a prophecy every
sentence is a place where you can see a
himself every sentence you can decipher
the difference between our holy Torah
and all of the garbage of the world that
was created by man whether it be the New
Testament the Quran and all the other
nonsense that's out there in Buddhism
and all types of
idolatry this is where it makes a
difference when our Torah says something
it's not a superficial statement it's a
guarantee here the Torah says that yourf
imposed this statue of a 20% tax
rate regarding the land of Egypt until
this day is a referring
to 3,000 years ago this day is
today so I went and
checked I went and
checked YF
put a law that the
Torah said it's permanent until this
day can it be that if you go to Egypt
right now the tax rate is
20% well did the work for
you you go to the internet you'll see
tax rate in
Egypt corporate tax rate 22.5
% personal income tax rate
25% now some of you are impressed wow
it's 22% 25% it's close enough could
have been 50% like America could have
been all types of 90% like other
countries in the world but
Egypt it's close to what Tora says but
then the nayay say ah whatever it's a
coincidence show me 20% Then I'll
believe
you got it you got
it 22% for
corporations the law here is in regards
to
people regards to people says
25% 25% it says regards to people but
that's if you look at a simple tax
rate but in reality tax rate doesn't
work like that in Egypt and in most
countries there's a
grid the Grid in Egypt is
based on your bracket if you make 0 to
15,000 uh uh
Egyptian
pounds you'll make zero tax rate 15,000
to 30,000 20 two and a half and so on
and so
forth now for it to be a 20% tax rate in
Egypt for
individuals you have to make between
60,000 and 200,000
Egyptian
pounds which is not very much money
according to American Standards but
nonetheless 60,000 to 200,000 you're
paying 20% tax
rate then you go and you look at what
actually happens in
Egypt you'll see that while the average
salary for as far as the country itself
cuz there's a lot of people there that
make a lot of money it's
327,000 227,000 of the uh Egyptian uh
pounds is $21,000 not much money but
that's the average but in reality the
most typical
salary is
109,000 per year
$7,000 forget about whether it's a lot
of money or a little money according to
your standards
what is the salary the average the most
common the most typical salary in Egypt
meaning what is the standard there it's
not the average the average is based on
a scale where some people make a lot
they make two three four million and the
increase the overall average for the guy
that's making 50,000 so that's not a
real number the real number is the most
typical salary the most typical salary
in Egypt today December
2021 is 10,339
339 Egyptian pounds which is
$7,000 going back to the grid
is the grid said 60,000 to 200,000 20%
tax
rate anybody need any more proofs that
the Torah is divine and everything else
is
garbage this is what prophecy looks like
when the Torah said there's going to be
a tax rate of 20% in Egypt until this
day countless leaders presidents
pharaohs and
otherwise ruled Egypt and could have
changed the tax rate a million and a
half times and can change a tax rate
tomorrow it doesn't make a difference
why himself decreed the people in Egypt
are going to pay 20% tax rate yeah but
there's a we have even 25% no one's
going to make that much
money why because I decreed that it's
going to be 20% tax rate so no matter
what happens in the entire
world Egypt decreed permanently to never
have an a person is paying more than 20%
taxes on the
average
why the Torah
decided decided
this anyone who understand such a thing
this is unbelievable this is no
different than a to telling us that the
cotel the the Western Wall will never go
down somebody could try to blow it up
tomorrow it'll never
happen this is no different than all of
the other prophecies but this is
something you can see with your own eyes
you can go on the internet you could do
the analysis yourself you can see how
decides this is what the tax rate will
be the tax rate rabai in Egypt is 20%
why decreed
it fulfilled it why that's how it works
aad
decrees
fulfills meaning an entire
nation comprised of millions and
millions of people with everybody trying
to make more money everybody trying to
do whatever it is that they do to become
more successful doesn't
realize that the
typical Egyptian will never have enough
success never have enough
success to go over this grid and pay
more than 20% taxes but if the average
does change where suddenly the economy
in Egypt
skyrockets you'll see how will
manipulate the world and therefore lower
the tax rate where everybody's just
going to pay 20% even if they make more
money why it was decreed in the tah and
therefore it's true that's what Torah
reality looks like that's what prophecy
looks like these are things you will
never find in the Quran in the New
Testament in anywhere in the world a
prophecy is not saying listen one day
the this guy is going to come back from
a dead and all of a sudden the sheep and
the lion are are going to be best
friends and he's going to ride both of
them and he has long hair none of that
stuff prophecy
is decrees something that doesn't make
any sense
whatsoever and then he makes it
happen he does it time and time again in
the Torah and we see it with our own
eyes today an entire
country 3500 years later
is still living with the decree of
Yik 20% tax rate no matter what happens
that's what we're going to be the tax
rate in
Egypt forever there will never be higher
the average person the typical person
will never pay more than 20% taxes this
is
unbelievable
and gave me this gift today to find this
and I think that this is no less great
proof than all of the other proofs we've
mentioned scientifically quite frankly I
like this one better than others perhaps
I'm a little biased because it's my uh
rather than uh something that I read in
other books but nonetheless this is
verifiable this is something you could
look at yourself you don't even need a
calculator you could just simply go but
will put these papers online just for
anyone that uh wants us to sa the time
and you can see this yourself
who
decrees what will be and we have to
simply just catch up to realize that
there's nothing in the world that could
override what Hashem said with that
being said hopefully you guys enjoy the
K as much as I did perhaps at least
close to it now we're going to take some
questions and we'll go from
there see I'm going to get a little
closer to the screen so I can read it
and also get my
drink I already made a blessing for this
before okay first question hi Rabbi this
is by Michael
GD uh
GD okay I Rabbi question efforts of
guarding one's eyes does it count if a
person has the ability to completely
blur out their eyesight specifically
driving through a highway that has Imus
Billboards I'm not understanding what
you mean by blurring out their their
eyesight uh if you're talking
about uh a person can uh look at the
single spot or do something with their
eyes where they can't see certain things
uh they can do that intentionally and at
will then uh sure as long as it does not
uh put you at risk uh you know life risk
if you're let's say for example driving
uh you can't uh really do that uh uh
most of the time because you need to pay
attention to the road unless you're not
driving but uh if there is a uh
billboard you could just simply look at
the uh at the mirror or the uh the side
the other side and avoid looking at the
things everywhere um you could just
focus on looking straight generally
speaking you know there is a
extraordinary reward for a person that
protects their eyes not only uh do they
not end up wasting seed intentionally
and even
unintentionally uh but also they have a
better quality of life because their uh
their focus and their Clarity is uh is
much more significant than someone who
does not watch their eyes a person who
does not protect their eyes uh is not
only uh uh not using the creativity that
Hashem gave him the tools that hasm gave
him in order to protect themselves but
also is going to live a lesser quality
of life he's never going to be happy
with what he has she's never going to be
happy with what she has if she looks
everywhere uh then she'll always want
something that she doesn't have she'll
want a dress that she doesn't have
she'll want a car she doesn't have she
want a husband that she doesn't have
he'll want a wife that he does she
doesn't have even if he has one one
another one and a person that looks and
doesn't protect their eyes not just uh
for the issues of morality and and and
immodesty but just generally person that
just looks freely at everything and
everyone is going to have a terrible
life so if a person can use different uh
tools that Hashem gave him uh that such
as blurring your eyes or looking at
something uh straight at to the point
where you have a uh narrowed Focus uh or
uh different different visualised uh uh
abilities that a person can have uh the
uh in order to protect their eyes you
should do it I mean there is a uh a way
that uh you could look straight at
something but not not see it uh this is
something that I learned years ago where
I could look straight at you but I'm not
I don't I'm not paying attention to what
you have what you have like I'm looking
straight through you I'm looking at
what's behind you or perhaps even
nothing
but you for for all intents and purposes
you're looking at me and you think that
I'm looking at you this is something
that uh uh I learned to do years ago and
uh there are all types of different
things that a person can do in order to
manipulate their Vision in order to
protect their eyes uh uh in some way and
yes whatever gift you have whatever
talent you have or you want to develop
to uh uh to do that you should do it the
easiest thing that everybody can do is
just simply look away
look away that's the best tool that's
the best tool in the world and even if
you have these other great tools you're
still going to need to use this uh this
simple tool of looking away uh so that's
that's important and if you do that
you'll be rewarded both in this world
and the next uh by the way I just saw
one of the questions gets erased because
the thread keeps going I think the
question was by Michael Weaver so
Michael if you you had a long question
over there if you want to send it again
I'll try to get to it okay the next
question that I have here on the screen
is by Sam
Davis can a nonu pray T and does it do
him any good is there any he can't pray
uh no you the T which is Psalms is what
is part of the writings of the tanak and
is uh permissible and recommended for
all of society both the Jews and the
non-jews the uh the written part of the
Torah which is the entire tanak uh is a
uh not only recommended but an
obligatory for uh for everybody to study
uh in order to know the will of hem in
order to know what is your purpose in
the world whether you're Jew or Gentile
so when a person reads T which are the
uh the prayers and cries of uh compiled
by Dav but were also written by other
before him like
Adu and other before him but you have
that are different prayers and praises
and Christ to hasem this could help
anybody with a uh understanding of what
the words are being said and uh and and
does it it's very very good to do highly
recommended for you to use it as your
prayer uh this is also the reason why I
don't think that noahides should make
themselves like what's been made in
recent years like uh
noahides uh led by I don't know some
organization
that uh told them they should make
themselves a prayer book a Sido uh in
order to know what to pray every day in
reality that's not really
uh uh person should pray with their own
words to hasem uh whether he's Jew or
Gentile should pray with their own words
but the Jews have an organized Sido
because the sages instituted it for the
non-jews you should not make a sid but
rather you should pray with your own
words and if you to read something
that's already prepared the best prayer
in the world is the is Psalms and don't
think that I'm telling you to do
anything different than the Jews because
the vast majority of the Sid that we
have and the M that we have in high
holidays is psms that's the vast
majority of what Jewish prayer is so uh
it's the best thing for a Jew and a
non-jew uh to read when they want to
pray to hem is is is to read it is very
very good for the sh and surely is very
helpful next is coming by uh question by
Charlie if we will be making babies
after the resurrection of the
Dead uh and there is no longer a yet
does that mean all those Souls will be
good and make geden after a thousand
years uh yes so as far as what will be
after mashia comes the rambam says we're
only going to know for sure what will be
after mashia comes once it happens we
have some basic things that we know that
are going to happen such as that the
msah is going to come there's going to
be a war of goou Magog uh there is going
to be a uh a resurrection of the Dead uh
and then eventually there's going to be
the days of mashiach where there's the
Salvation in the world for the last uh
approximately thousand years of uh of
this planet and then there Isa so
there's a this world and then there's
the world after it and then there's even
a world after that but anyway the point
is that it's a uh there is a debate of
uh uh what's going to happen during that
time of mashiach whether there is people
are still going to eat still go to the
bathroom uh still uh bring children to
the world there's a debate uh between
the sages and the rambam says we're only
going to know for sure once it happens
but on the argument that there will be
children that come to the world then
simply those children will be new
perfect not that are uh that are sinners
that need to uh fix anything they're
simply going to be
new uh or it's going to be people that
have already completed their tun uh and
they simply come to the world in order
to uh serve hem without any uh yet
without any evil inclination and so on
uh there's nothing for them to fix it's
just simply serving hem during the time
of mashia uh that's that's what will be
but uh yeah the all of the anybody
that's going to be alive and survived
the war of go Magog and uh uh is going
to uh uh live in this world throughout
those uh uh the last thousand years of
the world and eventually go to uh to
Heaven uh Jack is asking uh RAB I regret
to inform you that I was unsuccessful at
getting rid of the PS5 or the
PlayStation uh that I bought my teenager
but I made a deal that he would listen
to shim while playing video games at
least we came to a resolution oh and no
no Manis or Mesa uh Only You Rabbi and a
few others um as far as the PlayStation
uh 5 uh part of being a parent uh we
talked about I think last week or the
week before that about uh how terrible
game consoles are for children um and
part of being a parent is is to make to
tough decisions which means that you
have to decide that you're going to do
something for the benefit of the child
uh even if that means that he's going to
give you a headache about it for a few
hours or even a few days or even a few
weeks uh this is like uh if uh a father
that knows that Shalom his child is uh
deathly ill deathly ill and there was
actually a real story like this uh and
they uh they told the uh the father that
uh if you know because something
happened happened we have to keep this
child awake for the next I believe it
was 2
days and uh if he falls asleep is a very
high chance he's going to die so the
father's new job was simply to do
everything possible to keep this young
kid uh awake now in the beginning it was
fun the kid likes to stay up late but
then after a while the kid gets tired he
wants to go to sleep and the father says
no no no stay up stay up for a little
longer so the kid stayed up for a little
longer and were playing and they were
playing and then the kid gets tired he
wants to go to sleep and the father says
no no no you got to stay up stay up stay
up and the kid starts crying says I'm I
don't want to stay up anymore I want to
go to sleep no no stay up stay up I'll
give you a present okay so this went on
for a little while okay but then the
night gets uh longer and longer and
we're already into morning hours and the
kid's dead tired he says I want to go to
sleep and the father says no no no you
have to stay up stay up and the kid
starts hysterical crime just let me go
to sleep I can't take it anymore and the
father says no and the kid starts
yelling at the father and starts yelling
and and and and I hate you I don't why
are you doing this to me you're
torturing me I can't believe you uh what
kind of father are you and the father
obviously his heart is being ripped
apart to 50,000 pieces but he knows that
he has to do this to save this kid and
he continues to do this and the kid
starts screaming and yelling and hitting
and doing everything possible and the
father is doing everything possible to
keep this kid awake even if that means
he has to pinch him a little bit he has
to move him a little bit he has to do
whatever he has to do because he knows
he rather have a little bit of pain a
little bit of crying right now versus
not having a son and this continues for
a couple of days it may even be three
days that this happened but perh it was
definitely a couple of days and uh after
that the boy went to sleep a lot of
yelling a lot of screaming a lot of
hating a lot of cursing a lot of
horrible things came out but the kid
survived and they were able to save the
kid uh about 50 know 20 years later that
kid told this story in his
wedding and he says that I to to
everybody in the wedding he tells him
the whole story and he says I never
thanked my
father I never thanked my father for
that day because it took me 15 20 years
to understand completely why he did
it because it hurt not just that night
but after thinking about how did he keep
me awake all that stuff it took him a
long time to understand it but
eventually understood it because if he
didn't do it I wouldn't be here in doing
the wedding so that's one of the
difficult things that a parents has to
know you have to make these tough
decisions
David uh was uh did not make that
decision did not rebuke his son of
Shalom and uh never told him no and the
Torah says as a rebuke
on of one of his sons of shalom
that's why his son eventually turned on
him and tried to kill him his son of
Shalom tried to kill because he never
David only showed him love only did what
he wants him to do you know only uh you
know let him play with the
PlayStation as long as he listens to sh
you know while he plays with the
PlayStation Tora says that's not the way
it's not the way you have to make the
tough decision if he cries let him cry
it's better he cries than you cry that
he's serving some Idol or dating some
Goya or marrying some Goya or doing all
types of other things it's better you
cry to he cries today than you cry
tomorrow and uh that's the only advice I
can tell you uh that is a uh 100% truth
it's a to tell you oh it's okay you're
you know he's going to listen to shulim
while he plays PlayStation quite frankly
I think it's a uh it's uh not not going
to be effective just because uh when you
are in those games and I remember as as
a kid I used to play those games you're
in a different world somebody could
literally die next to you you wouldn't
be able to tell the difference because
you're in a different world so it
doesn't matter that he's listening to
shim those shim are not entering his n
because he's filling it with all types
of uh
superficial and actual impurities that
are are harming him much more than uh uh
you know can help him and the Torah
that's good he's not giving it the full
full attention that it deserves for it
to impact him so I again applaud you for
trying to do it but I insist that uh
you're going to thank me one day uh and
even if you don't even if you hate me it
doesn't really make much of a difference
but I know that your son will be
appreciated uh in 15 20 years from now
that you took away his console and made
him cry for a week he's going to
appreciate it and you're going to
appreciate it a lot more trust me when I
tell you I deal with a lot of kids I
deal with a lot of kids and the kids
that have the most difficult time paying
attention to a are the kids that are
come from a uh place where they play
video games I had a kid that was able to
quote
me quote me on different things that I
said in sh he used to come to my shim he
used to be able to quote me he used to
uh do all types of things but eventually
that kid turned upside down and uh and
and then simply went back to his old
ways I mean I believe he still keep
Shabbat still keeps some Basics but he
never grew past a certain point because
he never abandoned the video games so
yes he was able to use certain talents
and abilities that hasm gave him to
record certain things to say certain
things but he was never able to overcome
some of his physical desires some of his
spiritual
limitations uh and and really get to a
point of actually opening a seph and
reading it he just wasn't able to do it
the most he can do is watch and the
reality is as much as I love to
uh have more and more people watch
my by itself is not enough to get a
person to its full potential you
need and the books sh and the books
especially people that got fired up from
the and did or converted or both uh as a
result of the they have to continue
listening to that same Source
permanently as long as that source is
still good it's still valid it's still
Co
they have to continue staying close to
whatever sadik got them to do chv got
them to to to to the truth but for them
to grow they also have to add books they
have to add books people that play video
games have a nearly impossible time
reading books and really studying tah
for a extensive period of time three
four five hours 6 hours they it's almost
impossible for them the same thing with
people that watch television and movies
and so on it's almost impossible for
them to to sit there and read a book for
2 3 4 hours like some people are hearing
me say these times like what are you
crazy who has that kind of time if you
learn tah four hours is nothing if you
learn real Torah four hours is nothing
uh it's it's it's but in reality people
that you know don't uh don't study to to
them it sounds like impossible for them
oh yeah I studied an hour yeah isn't
that good yes it's good if for a starter
for a starter to learn for an hour is
good but if you already in it for for
for a couple years it's not enough you
have to do more how much more as much as
possible two four six eight how much do
we appreciate you know you have to do
more and that's that's how you grow if a
person that's only going to watch is
going to limit the uh the amount of
growth that they could have uh both uh
both knowledge wise and spiritually and
the people that uh play video games or
watch television are already the
themselves giving themselves a
disability a spiritual disability
because what the uh uh what the videos
do to a person is they train the mind
for instant
gratification they want instant
gratification immediately when that
person sees a movie he sees how the the
editors cut everything so quickly where
there's a constant stimulation to your
mind of something happening whether it's
visually or audio or both there's
constantly something happening to keep
you glued to that screen even more so
with games there's constantly something
happening constantly something that you
have to do so it trains the mind to have
a constant instant
gratification so when it comes to
actually solving real life problems
whether it's marriage problems or child
problems or business problems or all
types of uh uh serious problems needless
to say Torah problems Torah
complications that require
extensive time consuming and required
thinking that could take hours if not
days they simply can't handle it they
can't handle it they can't hold a
thought for that long they're used to
arriving at a conclusion instantly
there's a stimula there is a solution
stimuli there is a uh some type of
action happening as a result of it
stimuli effect stimuli conclusion
stimuli ta da da something happening all
the time so a person that is giving this
poison to their kid is is is simply
giving their kid a a
handicap uh when it comes to uh their
life and their uh their ability to cope
with real life problems uh and it's a uh
again they people that play video games
some people that play video games are
brilliant people they're able to solve
uh real world problems they could uh
build Rockets they could do a lot of
things but you're never going to see
someone that's addicted to video games
which is the vast majority of children
today do anything useful in the world
other than that you're never going to
see them in a successful marriage you're
never going to see them actually be a
good uh uh husband wife or or or or or
father because all of those things that
you know that take time attention and
and and and real investment requires
something that they simply have uh
discarded because of of of the video
games and the screens and so on and this
is also part of the reason why I myself
uh uh you know at times would have a
difficult time to to study certain
subjects of the Torah because even
though I was never an addict to video
games I was never an addict to
television still I spent enough time in
front of a screen that uh you know that
I was used to a certain amount of
instant
gratification I also read a lot of books
uh as a secular person I an
extraordinary amount of books so that
helped me to a certain extent but again
there still had to be an adjustment
where I was used to arriving at a
conclusion after a certain amount of
time but then when you start learning Al
it literally can take you five years to
understand a certain problem it could
take you five minutes the the the weekly
parasa I've been studying every single
year for I don't know the last 12 years
or so but only this week did I see the
new insight that I told you about today
uh so sometimes you it's it's a
culmination of events that and and
studying that will get you to a point
but if you cannot retain that uh
consistent mind frame you're never going
to get to that conclusion so I'm telling
you again and I appreciate the question
a lot and I appreciate your effort I'm
telling you again it's worth it for you
and your dear wife to push further suck
it up accept the crying and simply take
that play Playstation away and throw it
put in the garbage shatter it to a
million pieces and tell your son I
promise you you'll thank me for it try
to pafy him in some way if you want talk
to him maybe I don't know take him to a
to a zoo or something I don't do
something that he likes to do uh that's
not video games and I promise you this
will be a a present that you're giving
yourself as well as him because you're
he's still young enough where he hasn't
lost himself yeah hasn't lost himself to
in his in his attention span to the
digital world and there's been studies
that I've read about how parents that
give their children iPads and iPhones at
a young age are actually ruining the
development of their children they're
ruining the development of their
children where you see that the child
that is given an iPad or iPhone at a
early age you know as an infant he could
instantly figure out how to play with it
so it makes the parents think oh look my
kid is really smart I only figure out
how to play with an iPad when I was 30
or 40 years old this kid is you know a
year old and he's already knows how to
play with an iPad so it makes the
parents believe that the kid is really
smart in reality they just gave that kid
a mental time bomb that uh is going to
limit his his his learning uh to the
extent where that kid more times than
not is going to develop certain
necessary skills like speaking later on
in life uh and and other types of uh
skills why because again it's very very
addictive uh and it's problematic and uh
I can tell you from my own personal
experience when my uh uh daughter my
first kid uh God bless
her when she was born we gave our kid an
iPad and we were fascinated by it watch
she loved the thing she uh she she did
all types of things I couldn't believe a
little kid does it but then when we
wanted to take it away we started
noticing that it was simply impossible
and she was literally on the thing you
know for like hours and my wife and I
have have been around the block for long
enough to know when something is a
problem and immediately we realize okay
this is this is this is this is poison
there's no reason in the world that
anybody needless to say an infant should
be addicted to anything uh digital at
such an age like okay watching it it's
one thing if it's kosher if it's this if
it's that but to have such an addiction
at such an age no this cannot be good
and we went through the pain went to the
pain of taking that thing and yes she
cried and she complained and I think it
was like three weeks or something like
that of of uh of of dealing with it
but uh eventually that uh that test was
over and until this day none of my
children play with iPads and iPhones and
and anything yes you know we show them
different digital things that my wife
chooses uh you know that we already know
what it is there is
a there is a I don't know some type of
Torah
story all types of things that we know
for sure our kosher that we choose for
them we pick for them and they'll watch
it for a certain part of the day uh yes
as part of their education well they'll
learn I don't know Al or they'll learn
the uh ABCs or math different things
both from books as well as digital I'm
not against digital but to give a kid
full control of the digital world at
such a young age needless to say video
games you're simply destroying that kid
and I'm telling you from experience with
thousands of kids thousands of kids this
is a you're going to regret it if you
don't do this and I know it's painful I
went through it to a certain extent
myself with with my kid and my other
kids never never dealt with it and will
never deal with it but yes I'm not
against screens I know I'm very well
aware that screens are part of the world
today there is a digital media there is
a lot of good stuff along with the bad
stuff um I'm not anti iPads and iPhones
and and and digital media but everything
has to be given with a lot of thought
with a lot of preparation and giving
children control is simply a mistake
that is going to uh uh be very difficult
to fix very difficult to fix and I'm
telling you this because I have the
people that have listened to me and the
people that haven't listened to me and
then the people that just simply uh
didn't even know and I see the results
where their kids are and how much more
uh they have to go through uh before
they finally get the gist of things and
when they get the point and when they
develop uh and really the most valuable
asset that person has is their
mind and uh don't want that mind to uh
be uh to to be ruined and and when you
think about it there is nothing
beneficial there's nothing beneficial
about playing video games that is worth
that risk some people will say yes
there's certain benefits scientifically
where it gives a person quicker
analytical skills According to some
studies which I've also read uh yes even
if that is true that it gives a person
quicker analytical studies analytical uh
uh
abilities uh uh According to some
studies even if that's true uh it's
still not worth the damage that it
causes in other
places uh the video games and uh one of
the greatest things that or the worst
things that uh the video games cause is
they make a person numb uh and more numb
to society to real life uh make people
numb to real life numb to their feelings
and and they make certain people live uh
with with a uh delusional mindset of uh
of you know thinking that they really
are this important person on some I
don't know Army team or something
shooting people uh they they believe
that they're really their their work on
uh I don't know video games that uh
build houses or whatever it is all these
uh games they actually believe it's like
important for the world um you know and
especially the uh the people that watch
other people play video games on like
yoube tube um I mean I I I think that
already speaks for itself that it's a
very serious and deadly uh uh disease
that people are actually gotten to the
point where they watch other people you
know play video games it shows how sick
people are doesn't make any sense
whatsoever um but nonetheless people are
doing it millions of people are doing it
and uh then you know people are
surprised why is this guy still alone at
35 years old still living with his
mother why is this girl uh not
interested in getting married ever
why is this person uh you know uh not
fixing anything in his life why is this
person not wanting to uh change and so
on and so forth and uh you see that the
the amount of losers that you have in
society today is a greater percentage of
the world than ever before you know in
the in the past Generations you know
children would work uh I know when I was
a kid I started working at 10 years old
uh that's not standard uh uh you know
today obviously but uh you know and I
don't necessarily recommend for people
to get their kids to start working at 10
years old if they have an option not to
but nonetheless uh today you have uh
people getting their first job at 25 30
35 years old and I'm not talking about
people that go to Yeshiva and they're
learning and they're Scholars and no no
talking about people that are simply
completely secular okay they're not
studying anything but they decide that
they're going to do everything possible
except work a normal job until they're
30 years old they don't even start their
life until 35 years old that is a
disaster when you have 30y old still
living with their parents that is a
disaster uh it's a disaster to society
and it's a uh it's a real sad scenario
perhaps it explains why the
Japanese uh do not have any more kids
and their society is on the verge of
extinction because the average age in in
uh in Japan is the oldest among all of
the of the world to the point where if
they don't change they will not be a
Japan within the next few Generations
because they don't have any kids uh but
nonetheless I understand why they don't
have any kids because the kids today uh
if you're going to have one of these
loser kids that's going to you know you
bring them to the world you going to
have to support him until he's 40 years
old um perhaps it's better not to have a
kid if that's going to be the kind of
kid that you're going to have uh so
again it's a uh important for a person
to know if you're G to raise kids you're
gonna have to make tough decisions you
have to make tough decisions but that's
because you're a parent and you know the
uh the outcomes of things more than the
kid will and you have to do it for him
as well as for yourself and there's no
doubt in my mind that you'll succeed as
a result and the kid will too Michael
and Page 27 B the sages considered
replacing gel witha but decided not not
to saying perhaps due to raan gel's
resentment uh he would be divinely
punished as he lacks the merits of his
ancestors to protect him if the convert
is a Ben then what more Merit could
anyone have than aam who was an
acquisition of
hem okay so I'm not following what's the
uh what's the question
really um I mean as far as if you're
comparing a convert to uh to the whole
abaka story as far
as um
because RAB AKA came from converts uh
yes I mean the thing is you have to
understand is that although RAB AKA was
a big
sadik uh all the r AKA came from
converts uh because everything that the
sages did they dat for the sake of
Hashem they did for the sake of
glorifying the tah they uh they were not
looking for fights they were not looking
for alterations they were simply looking
to magnify the Torah to magnify the
Torah to do what's the best for the
Torah but what's the best for the Torah
also is best for its Learners so R AKA
has students ra has students those
students will uh will have to deal with
those consequences and uh while ran
Gamel uh perhaps wasn't uh viewed as
great as R
AKA uh the fact that he was already at
that position he was also the descendant
of DAV which means that he was fit uh to
be mashia Anda was not fit to be mashia
even though he got to the highest level
of kadus uh the 50th level still he was
not fit to be mashia uh that was one
thing that ran gel did have over and
even more so the fact that he was
already in that position meant that uh
you know there is going to be more
damage to him and his students then
there's going to be gain for RAB AKA and
his students because whether AKA becomes
the N or not uh in reality uh not much
is going to change his students will
stay his students whether he's Nasi or
not uh but on the other hand if he uh
ifan gel is n or not will make a
difference why because people already
view him as a certain person already has
a certain job a certain role in the
world whereas if you remove him from it
some people will have uh comments to say
say oh you know what maybe he's not that
great maybe I'm going to learn from
somebody else maybe I'm going to learn
on my own and the sins that will come
out of that as a result
of and so on was too much of a risk was
too much of a risk for um uh for for any
for the sages to to think it's worth it
uh and again that's what they said that
raban Gamel uh surely would not be happy
with the fact that uh that he would be
removed uh but that could also lead to a
Divine punishment he wasn't a bad person
he wasn't
aom so there's no reason for them to
make such a change when the upside uh
wasn't really all great because A's
teachings you're going to get one way or
the
other is likea so it's one way or the
other everything is good uh so the
really there was just downside uh as a
result of doing it and that's why they
didn't uh they didn't make that decision
it's not uh uh because uh only because R
AKA was a convert but rather because of
whoel was too uh as well as what the
downside would be in one way or the
other but either way in regards to
comparing a a convert to a natural born
Jew it all depends on uh on you know
which what convert it is meaning if
you're comparing a convert that's a
that's a scholar uh then sure this
convert is as extraordinary as it gets
but if you're talking about a convert
that's not really
keeping he doesn't have the benefits and
the blessings and the protection that uh
that the Torah talks about those that
protection those blessings are not just
for anybody that converts but then
becomes that they lose those blessings
so that's also important to know it's
not by default just like it's not by
default for every Jew that's born Jewish
or Jew in general to have a share on the
World to come no you have to you know
live as a Jew not just born as a Jew uh
you have to die as a Jew live as a Jew
yeah that so it's a there's a important
not to uh uh summarize big topics uh so
uh in such a fashion that uh we uh we
think that oh you can just do this one
thing and that's it doesn't work that
way there's uh the bigger the issue the
more pieces are involved but either way
they were both great they both
contributed to the world
tremendously uh and to no end our oral
Torah uh that we have today is uh is is
thanks to RAB AKA uh you know because
you know his students the 24,000
students that he had we don't really
have their Torah they all died and the
Torah that we have today is from his uh
uh his five students that after the
24,000 students died uh he he restarted
everything from scratch which is
mind-blowing of its own and uh that's
the Torah that we have in the world
today literally millions of books are
coming from RAB AA and his handful of
students uh Robert is asking for a few
years I've been giving out CDs for C
without having to talk I've noticed that
because I have a baseball hat since I
haven't completed my conversion some
Jewish people are reluctant to accept
the CDs I feel that they might think
it's missionary stuff and uh rightly so
because the wicked missionaries are
attacking Jews what can I do to improve
these short
interactions
uh simply you could just say uh you know
this is Torah from Rabbi you know
whoever if it's let's say for example if
it's me this is Rabbi youron ruen he's
an orthodox Rabbi uh and uh and not uh
and simply uh keep it simple don't um go
into whole entire discussions I'm in the
process of conversion but I haven't
converted yet because the second the
people he that you are in a process of
conversion your credibility is in the
garbage according to them uh because
they feel wait how can you tell me to
learn Torah if you're not even a Jew
according to people that are uh not
religious a person that's not a Jew is
not qualified to help you needless to
say teach you uh secondly uh even if you
already complet completed your
conversion uh and you told somebody
listen I am uh you know I just completed
my conversion here's some Torah many
people are very superficial uh and they
won't accept that advice so I I'd say
you have to keep it shorten to a point
uh Without Really discussing your own
personal uh uh status just simply by
saying I this is Rabbi such and such
this is let's say Rabbi yon ruin he's an
orthodox Rabbi it's a very inspiring
story here you go and just move on
simple and uh move on I think you'll
have much more
success uh Martin is asking uh my
friend's daughter converted to Judaism
but she and her husband are considered
noahide okay they converted to Judaism
but they're considered noahide they are
thinking about purchasing a home in a
Jewish
Community uh in their uh in case their
daughter decides to come visit from
Israel with her children would they be
able to do things like putting a muuza
on their doors thank you um now to say
that they're uh oh my friend's daughter
converted to Judaism okay not okay I
misunderstood I thought that your
friends converted to Judaism I misread I
thought your friends converted to
Judaism but they're considered no hide
okay okay so my friend's daughter
converted to
Judaism uh but she and her husband uh
meaning your friend are Noah hides and
they were thinking about buying a home
in a Jewish Community okay in case their
daughter decides to come would they be
able to put a mza okay got it all right
all right so putting on a
muuza uh is not something that a non-jew
should do uh even if it's a non-jew
that's in the uh process of converting
they should not put a muuza up until
they complete their conversion and if
they're not converting they should not
put a muuza up and the reason why is
because it could create confusion and
people will think that that person is a
Jew uh which could lead to a lot of
problems such as desecration of hashem's
name if let's say they see you drive on
Shabbat and uh you're not Jewish so
you're perfectly fine for you to drive
on Shabbat if you're not Jewish but they
think that uh you're driving on Shabbat
as a Jew uh or perhaps they see you
eating on uh you know uh Pizza on uh you
know non koser or Pizza on PES all types
of things so having a muuza is a big
deal
uh and it's uh highly highly advisable
for non-jews not to have a muuza uh on
their doors in
fact forbids Jews from selling a muza to
a non-jew forbids Jews from selling a
mza to a non-jew it's forbidden for a
Jew to sell a mza to a non-jew uh and
I've had a couple of times more than a
couple of times where different
wonderful people that watch my sh that
are not Jewish sometimes they're in the
process of conversion sometimes they're
just simply uh going to uh become the
best Noah hides in the world and uh they
decide to do something good and they
figured let me add blessing the rabbi
spoke about a muuza being a good thing
so they figured I'll buy a mza and they
send a order for I don't know a couple
thousand dollar worth of muas and uh you
know I don't know who everybody is so I
ask everybody questions you know you
Safari or you skazi or you this or you
that to make sure you're giving
everybody the right thing uh and uh long
story short it has happened also
within uh and multiple times I had to uh
uh uh cancel the orders and uh refund
people money uh and because they you
know they were not Jewish and uh in one
case somebody got offended the rest of
the cases when I explained it to them
that I'm simply forbidden uh from s
muuza uh people understood it and in
some cases actually told us listen Okay
f I was just looking to do something
good so just use that money for as a
donation for the organization to do K I
keep learning your thank you very much
for telling me the truth and people
appreciate the truth uh so again if you
are a noahide because you're looking to
do the will of hem you will not buy a
muuza because we're forbidden from
selling it to you and if you buy a muuza
from a non- koser place or some internet
website that you don't even know who
wrote it then there's really no point in
buying it in the first place uh just
print it off your computer it's useless
you know the whole point of a muuza is
if it comes from a from a holy source to
to a person that's looking to uh follow
what it says but if you're not allowed
to have if you're not allowed to uh sell
it as a Jew you're not allowed to sell
the muza to a noahide and the noahide
should not have a muuza on their door
they're allowed to own it but they're
you know not to put it on their door but
that's a very big test for certain
people and I've seen way too many way
too many uh no hies uh that were good
turn into bad noahides as a result of
them becoming too Jewish without
actually becoming Jewish where they
adopted so many of the Jewish laws that
they simply have lost the desire to
convert because they simply live as a
Jew already and uh they keep whatever
they want they keep kanuka you see them
lighting the manur on kanuka they fast
on yum Kip they eat you know matah on
PES and you see them living like a Jew
but they live in I don't know in
Arkansas somewhere or in Montana or in
Zimbabwe or wherever they live in the
world there's no Jew to be seen except
themselves and they're living like a Jew
but in reality they're not Jewish and
they no longer have the desire to be
Jewish because they figure they're
already doing everything unfortunately
this is when a noahide becomes a bad
noahide because they're inventing a new
religion they're stealing MIT from the
Jews and it's not a good thing uh
unfortunately I've had encounters with a
few of them some of them used to be my
students and have turned against me
because they thought that I was being
mean I'm not mean to anybody I tell
people the truth in order to help people
uh if you find that mean then you know
maybe you should seek mental help uh but
uh the key is to understand that it's a
uh if you're going to do things that are
written in the Torah because God said it
then do it the way God said it and not
the way you decided and when I say God
said it that also means how the sages of
Judaism have interpreted it not have you
interpreted it or he interpreted it or
they interpreted it or even I interpret
it it's how the sages have interpreted
it and that's what happens a lot of
times when people say no no I'm just
listening to the Torah not the rabbis
there is no such thing if you're
listening to uh to the Torah that means
you have to listen to the rabis the
Torah is written Torah and the oral
Torah and people that uh you know pick
and choose what to listen to what not to
listen to end up becoming bad noahides
uh and end up creating their own
religions and it becomes a very very
problematic person uh and many times
they actually even become anti-semitic
uh which is the strangest thing in the
world uh but nonetheless I've seen it
quite a few times these types of people
become the biggest haters of the Jews uh
all they have to say his bad thing about
Jews and they end up uh you know looking
and act like Jews and I've even had
cases where people simply decided to
call themselves Jews they never
converted they don't even know what the
basics of Al are but they decided that
they are not only they are Jews but they
even call themselves Rabbi they even
call themselves Rabbi they call
themselves Jews some of them even make
YouTube videos pretending to be Jews
starting organization as Jews there is a
lot of corruption out there a lot of
corruption out there and uh and it's
it's sad it's sad because why because
these people end up becoming the a
really uh big problem for those people
that really genuinely want to
convert uh because it's people like that
that uh bring uh first of all they bring
decrease bad decrease to the world uh
second of all they uh make Judaism look
terrible third of all they make the Jews
look terrible and last but not least
they make uh the Jews worried about
converts because they see uh people like
ashraa and his students that quite
frankly are uh as much Jewish as the uh
agori population that eats people in
India uh you know they don't do anything
that's Jewish other than simply mention
certain things they don't like about the
Torah they don't really do anything
that's Jewish but nonetheless they
consider themselves Jewish people like
that it's better off that they were
never born in the first place uh so
again if a person wants to listen to the
Tora they have to understand there's a
place in the world for Jews there's a
place in the world for righteous
noahides uh and there's even a place in
the world for Wicked people uh person
should decide which one they want to be
and follow what needs to happen in order
to be that if a person is a noahide they
should act like a noahide they should
serve the Torah serve a and and and
follow his
Torah according to how the Jewish Shades
is interpreted because quite frankly
without the oral Torah there is no point
in the world for the noahide
uh there is no uh uh there's no place in
the world that noahide uh would learn
what to do how to do it or even that
there is even a status of being a nohide
or the significance of being a nohide so
you can't say I follow the Torah while
going against the sages doesn't make any
sense it's a contradiction it's an
oxymoron so again I'm not saying your
friends are are doing any of that I'm
simply telling you things that you know
are on my mind that have something to do
with your question so with your friends
as far as they their daughter that
converted to
Judaism if she is a uh uh she is married
uh obviously she would come visit them
with her husband that's no problem but
when it comes to uh uh their uh their
food she has to know that she is still
Jewish so even though her parents are
her biological parents she can't eat
their food uh they she would have to be
the one that cooks and she has to bring
utensils or they have to order kosher
food and she has to take those things
into consideration uh uh secondly uh the
uh when it comes to uh um her uh uh her
parents those parents should not uh move
into a Jewish Community uh and uh adopt
to the uh Jewish uh uh laws of let's say
putting a muuza up and thereby looking
like they're Jewish to some people
because it create create confusion uh
there's no shame in being a righteous
noahide uh there's nothing wrong with it
there's no reason for a righteous nohide
to look Jewish they should look like a
righteous nohide still modest still
ethical still good person simply not
Jewish there are plenty of good noahides
in the world I don't understand why
noahides are embarrassed of them being a
noahide and they try to pretend like
they're being Jews it doesn't make any
sense to me if you're Jewish then be
Jewish if you're not Jewish then don't
be Jewish be a noahide and being a
noahide it's a righteous noide is an
extraordinary thing it's a fantastic
thing you'll have a share of the world
to come job the prophet job was a
noahide there's a book in the tanak
that's written about a righteous noahide
I mean it's and it's not the only one
there are other righteous noahides that
I mentioned the point is is that there's
no reason for a person that's not Jewish
to look Jewish it just doesn't make any
sense it's not it's not a plus it if
anything it looks like deceiving it
looks deceptive so a person that is a no
hiy should not put on should not wear
should not look like they're a Jew they
should look like a normal noahide that
looks like a respectable person and
represent the tah according to where
they are uh if they are in a process of
conversion that's a different story then
they have to start acclimating and
looking more like a Jew but if they're
not converting they're not looking to
convert they should look like a noahide
not like a Jew they should uh they
shouldn't uh uh think that it's a
negative thing to be a nohide it's a
fantastic thing to be a nohide if you're
a righteous nohide just like it's a
fantastic thing to be a Jew if you're a
righteous Jew but if you're a wicked Jew
it's the worst thing in the world to be
there's literally nothing worse in the
world than a wicked Jew nothing worse in
the world because even their punishment
is worse punishment than the wicked nju
so a person should know that uh they
shouldn't be ashamed of their own Skin
of Their Own uh nationality of their own
status they should be proud of it as
long as they're following the Torah and
uh I I think that it's important for
them to uh uh to have good guidance of
uh of where to go and what to go and and
and not necessarily try to uh to fit in
anywhere just simply do the the best
that you can according to what the Torah
says uh and it sages and hopefully they
have some type of Rabbi that they're uh
learning from and that they're following
that's giving them guidance and uh is
going to tell them the truth and not
just pacify them perhaps because of
money or otherwise because unfortunately
I've seen that too where people uh tell
people whatever they want to hear just
because they figure listen if I if I
give him this this and that he'll give
me money and then I could do good things
with it that's unfortunately what led to
a lot of Orthodox Jews getting millions
of dollars from the Christian Church
which is now uh showing its fruits of
the amount of missionizing that's
happening inside Jewish communities so
uh nothing good comes out of Lies uh
nothing good comes out of being fake uh
nothing good comes out of it and that's
why the Tora
says from a thing of Lies stay away from
not only don't lie but stay away from
anything that looks deceptive stay away
from anything that looks deceptive and
that's why each time for example when I
learn my there are certain things that
it mentions in in in books and uh we
review them each time and there are
certain things that really you don't
want to say them like it says it in the
book A B C D okay whatever it says you
read some Torah some one of the pages
and you look at everything a b c d this
looks amazing but then you have e uh and
it's really terrible like you don't want
to say it for whatever reason or another
it's just one of those things where you
hope you you could just omit it and
technically you you can if you want to
but we always choose not to Omit
anything to Simply tell the whole truth
completely so everybody knows this is
what it is deal with it handle it manage
with it think about it toil over it and
don't think that oh he didn't give us
the whole picture and therefore I found
something else and da da da da no no
we're going to give you the whole
picture on a silver platter and that's
what you're going to do that's what
you're going to have and I think that
when a person is uh real with themselves
and honest completely and not being
deceptive of trying to uh look like
something that they're not they'll live
a much more fulfilling and righteous
life and uh although the uh the act that
your friends are looking to do seems
like a very nice act that many other
people uh also want to do it's uh it's
it's only something that will lead to
more trouble uh than it's worth and uh
and unfortunately sometimes that trouble
can make them lose their eternity and
I've seen that happen also
unfortunately uh okay another couple of
questions getting a little late but uh
since my sh last so long let me get
another
drink Dennis is
asking um or Denise Dennis I think it's
Dennis sorry I don't
know uh can you share some tips for a
person to be able to get the most out of
experiences that are not pleasant to go
through yet there are Mercy from hasem
Ser saving us to be able to figure out
why something happened and what the
mistake was that uh it was needed for
one to go through and uh when the mind
is not ideally clear so even if a person
has an idea of what and uh uh of the
what and the why it's difficult to trust
okay so uh difficulty is something that
exists in everybody's life there's no
doubt about it everybody has difficulty
both the uh young the old the male the
female the righteous the wicked
everybody has difficulty now a person
needs to learn a lot about uh what is
what is we have an entire series of
lectures uh we have an entire series of
lectures
about that's called we also have a bunch
of lectures about it as part of our
Jewish ashfa series I would say at least
20 lectures over there speak about it
and it's a very very extensive issue
that constantly requires um
strengthening meaning it's not something
you learn about one time and you're
finished uh it's something that you
constantly have to repeat constantly
have to remind yourself in order to
develop a spiritual
imagination spiritual imagination
meaning that you have to use your
imagination not just for business
purposes and for uh for all types of
other things but use your imagination in
order to understand that whatever is
happening in your life is for the best
so I give you a couple of real life
examples that I'll think about as I'm
talking so for example there's a uh a
righteous person that I know that when
they were going on a shid to to find a
wife uh they uh they uh made a uh a
promise to themselves that whatever
Hashem sends them they're going to
accept meaning they're not going to say
no to anybody whoever Hashem sends them
they're going to say yes and not only
yes to go on a date with them but to
marry them this is a level ofuna that's
very very extensive uh very high level
and uh nonetheless this is what happened
and uh to to uh to see something like
this in real life is one of the great
pleasures of my life that I've seen with
my own eyes so
anyway uh he uh was uh went on a I don't
know I think it was one date with
somebody or a few dates with somebody
and then the person didn't want it
didn't want to continue then he went
with another person and that uh second
person they went on several dates
everything went great and uh they wanted
to get married they wanted to get
married and uh they started talking
about marriage started planning
everything the the families met
everything looked fantastic uh there was
attraction there was similar
ideology uh everything was was fine you
know there wasn't a uh anything really
significant missing and he thought that
within the next I don't know few weeks
or so he was going to be married and uh
suddenly he gets a uh a call that uh
it's off and uh no discussion no
discussion no explanation the whole
thing is off and of course he uh was uh
really uh uh hurt by it at that time uh
but understood that everything is from
Hashem everything is from Hashem there's
no uh
uh doubt in his mind and uh but he just
wanted to understand why this was good
and for for a while for years he uh he
went through the thought process of why
this happened I mean if she said okay
I'm not attracted or or or the money or
or or something that I could hold on to
and rationalize it and understand it
fine but simply everything went from
being great to
suddenly everything is off like why
would God do such a thing why should I
go through the turmoil the the emotional
turmoil of thinking I found somebody to
build a home with and now all of a
sudden it's off with no explanation I
didn't even do anything bad there was no
arguing there was no issues simply one
day we're on we're getting married and
you know a few weeks later it's off no
explanation no conversation no
friendship no cordial uh uh con nothing
strange why would God do such a thing
well he has serious amuna he continued
of course uh he asked the uh this
question for years years but he didn't
wait for years to get married he went on
the next date and the I believe it was
the next woman that he met that he ended
up uh getting married to today they have
a extraordinary house full
of children uh all the good things in
the world uh but still always a person
that uh serves Hashem completely and
learns this tah is constantly
investigating themselves and why there
was certain things that happened in
their life and he always asked himself
why this happened like what was the
benefit of it fine okay he ended up
meeting his wife and this was a stepping
stone that surely meant that his wife
was the best one but still that doesn't
explain why would God you know do you
know break this whole thing abruptly and
then later on years after I think after
they already had maybe three or four
kids he ran into a uh a person that he
knew from from
Yeshiva and uh they started talking and
so on and so for and person with Yesa
said oh did you uh hear what happened to
uh such and such he says no no I don't
know what happened to such and such he
goes yo you know he he's the one that
married uh such and such person and he
realized he's saying who's he marri this
person he married that girl that that
that he was supposed to marry oh yeah no
I didn't hear what happened goes no
listen they got married within a uh a
year of marriage she got really uh sick
and has been bed written and Comas and
all types of horrible treatment ever
since and uh now I think I believe that
the the girl was like on uh either dying
or or
dead no children no nothing just simply
a tragedy from the minute that they get
married and then he says he didn't know
but uh now he knows meaning he didn't
know this whole thing happened but now
he knows why did what he did simply was
protecting him simply was protecting him
from a life of
tragedy uh because he deserves something
else so a person that uh understands
that whatever hasem does is always the
best it doesn't mean that you'll like it
right away uh it doesn't mean that
you'll think it's the you'll think it's
the best right away unless you
understand that Hashem is your father
and there for he's not going to give you
anything that's against your interest
when you truly understand your interest
the problem is that we do not really
know what our interest is we know what
our desires are so we simply determine
what our interest is based on our
desires and we look at the picture of
the world like I explained it in last
night's lecture we looked at the the
picture of the world as if somebody's
looking at a picture right in front of
his face so yes you can make up somewhat
what's in that picture but in reality
you're too close to the picture to
really decipher the full picture as you
get more and more distant from that
picture you start understanding uh more
of what's actually in front of you AEM
on the other hand he looks at the entire
scope of the picture not just what's on
that picture completely from a complete
uh distance but every single thing that
will ever have something to do with that
picture and he doesn't make a decision
without determining all of the factors
meaning that as
the says that there's not a a finger a
finger that's ever pricked by a needle
without there being judgment in heaven
that this is the best thing to do what
does that mean it means that before
causes any type of damage to a person's
life he has to determine everything
that's going to affect it and be in
affected by it
so therefore if let's say for example
there is a person that is decreed that
this person is going to dieom okay
horrible thing now before that decree
before that decree there's a judgment
that he's going to but before that's
decreed and it's official hem has to
evaluate everything because the Satan
comes with the case prosecution this
person did such and such he deserves
death penalty he comes with his case
he's the prosecutor and he has has a
valid case the person does deserve death
penalty he did something that deserves a
death penalty according to the law but
doesn't work only according to the law
in plain sight he looks according to the
law that affects everybody and now he
looks okay this person is uh deserves to
die let's see who's going to be affected
by it he sees oh the person's uh spouse
is going to be affected by it do they
deserve to have the suffering of having
somebody die let's see he looks at their
entire account oh yeah over here they
have they made a similar sin and they
deserve to die themselves needless to
say to have somebody die so they deserve
it okay moves on to the next chapter the
parents oh do the parents deserve such a
horrible punishment which is one of the
worst punishments or the worst
punishment you can get in in your life
uh in your lifetime is to is to have a
parent uh see their own child die uh and
this is a horrible thing and hasem
evaluates do the parents deserve it did
they do something that warrants such a
suffering if it's determined yet shom
then he goes to the next chapter he goes
to the kids and then he goes to the uh
other people and uh he goes to let's say
people that uh he works for people that
work for him people that he knows and so
on and so forth and he looks at
everybody and has to determine the same
conclusion for everybody and what ends
up happening is that say wait a minute
this person everybody in his immediate
circle deserves it but there is somebody
that he knows from 20 years ago that was
in the same class as him and that person
has grown in tah exponentially that
person is aad that person is an amazing
person that does not deserve anything
bad and when that person finds out even
though he hasn't heard from him in 20
years surely if something like this
happen the world will the word will G
around and that person will hear that
his old friend from 20 years ago just
died and he will have pain as a result
of it starting to think oh maybe I
should have talked to him I should have
reached out and he does not deserve that
pain
and cancels the decree of the Satan
cancel the decree of a Satan why not
because the guy doesn't deserve it
because some sadik that he knows from 20
years ago doesn't deserve that pain so
the when a person understands the the
the the amount of
judgment that and evaluation that goes
into every single decision surely it
becomes much easier to understand why
everything that Hashem does is 100%
perfect the best the greatest and in
fact if we knew the truth from hashem's
perspective we would have done much
worse to ourselves
we would have done much worse to
ourselves that's why actually the uh and
the Z and other places say that when a
person goes up to Sham and has shown all
of their sins all of their actions that
were against theem in this world they
ask and plead with hasem to throw them
into
geham they ask to be thrown into
geham because of the embarrassment that
they have because they now see the full
picture they see the full picture so
it's say when a person understands that
if they're going to a job and uh they
get instead of arriving at that job and
getting that million dollar contract
instead they get a flat tire that's not
because God hates you it could be
because God doesn't want you to make
money but it could also be because God
does not want you to make that
particular money why because that person
that you were about to sign a million
dollar contract with had you not gone
into that accident that person is a
litigious person where everybody that he
does business with he ends up suing them
and ends up getting everything back and
more and Hashem does not want you to do
business with such people and end up
losing money as a result many times
people do big deals and they end up
losing more than they gain you know why
because they do business with the wrong
people so it's it's important to know
that if there's certain amount of money
that's de Creed that's meant for you no
one in the world can take it from you
and a certain amount of money that
doesn't belong to to you no power in the
world can give it to you it doesn't
belong to you even if you steal that
money hashm will take it back in one way
or the other so it's important to know
that whatever hasem is going to is doing
for
you uh that's out of your control
because your control is simply whether
you're going to do things according to
what Hashem said or not whether you're
going to serve Hashem or not that's
that's what's up to you as far as the
things that happen in a person's life
whether they'll succeed in money they'll
fail they'll they'll get married they'll
be single they'll uh have kids not have
kids live die all those things are
determined by hasem so when a when a
when a person understands that really uh
everything in life is determined by hem
except whether you're going to serve hem
or not then they know that since Hashem
wants me to serve him and in reality
that's the only thing that's in my power
and everything is in his power then
surely everything that Hashem is doing
to me in my life is in order to to
entice me to serve him better even if
that means that hasem is giving me a
difficulty that makes it more difficult
for me to serve him it's not because
doesn't want me to serve him it's
because Hashem wants the difficult
servitude from me he wants me to cry he
wants me to cry he wants me to learn to
through suffering he wants me to still
pray to him when I'm in pain he wants me
to uh to uh to say I love you even when
I feel feel like I'm on fire he wants me
to say that I can't wait I can't wait to
serve you even if that means that I'm
going to be destroyed in the process he
wants me to say thank you Hashem for
taking everything he wants me to go
through the suffering and if that's what
he wants and I'm here to serve him then
what's the problem this is why uh the uh
the bmov says that if he want if he goes
up to
Sham and in heaven they decide that
they're going to throw ran G he's only
going to ask them one question is that
what God wants and when they tell me yes
he says I'm going to run to
get why my whole life my whole point was
just to serve hem he said my whole life
was just to serve AEM if what hasem
wants for me is to jump into fire and
get destroyed then I'm I'm running
because my only point in the world is to
serve hem so the more a person
understands that they're in the world to
serve hem and therefore Hashem whatever
he does for you and does to you is for
you to serve him even better than what
you're serving him which means that when
you serve him through pain that's
exactly what he wants when you serve him
through suffering that's exactly what he
wants when you serve him through
Prosperity that's exactly what he wants
when you serve him through every other
way you serve him more that's exactly
what he wants what he doesn't want is
for you not to serve him not to pray him
not to learn about him that's what he
doesn't want so all of the things that
he gives you all of the things that he
takes from you is for you to use those
tools to serve him better and when a
person understands that that's the whole
point they got the point in
life they figured out the trick they
figured out the code to life to cheat
code to
life
um all right next uh wrot
a Jack said he wrote a song uh about the
Heretics the Heretics say a little bit
of manace in my life a little bit of
Mesa by my side a little bit of slifkin
all I need a little bit of Rosman is
what I see a little bit of mous in the
Sun a little bit of mazik King all night
long a little bit of Goldberg here I am
not Mambo Number Five but Gom number
[Laughter]
seven we're not happy they're going to
go to Gom we we would love for them to
uh to do Chua but uh we'd also like for
uh uh you know whatever happens
first but I get your I get your humor I
like it fine uh David is asking uh this
was a question from last Wednesday how
can one stop procrastinating and be more
productive in anything that he does in
life I think the last question answered
it uh if a person is here to serve AEM
uh then they and they know that hm is
the one that's running the world and the
whole purpose purpose of you uh being in
this world is to serve hem uh which is
what's going to get you the greatest
benefit in history uh the greatest
benefit ever uh that a person should be
uh uh should never procrastinate and
should constantly do whatever they can
to push themselves uh to do whatever
they can uh to to bring more good to the
world if that means that you uh uh
having a better job uh is going to give
you the better ability to serve hem
because you'll be able to live in a
better
Community then that's what you have to
do if that means you have to wake up
earlier then that's what you need to do
the begins with uh to to uh uh wake up
early and uh and be zealous to uh go
chase after we learned that from
abuu when told him to uh you know do the
with with with uh really could have done
it at any point during the day could
have done it at any particular time butu
woke up he woke up early early in the
morning 4:00 in the morning 3:00 in the
morning he woke up to go do the even
though that means he has to go uh kill
his favorite son his only his main son
uh his real son he's going to kill him
but he did it early in the morning why
because if I'm here to serve hem I'm
going to do it to the best of my ability
because at the end it's going to be to
my best interest to serve hem at the
highest level same thing with mosu m
was told by hasem that after this war
I'm you know you're going to die so
mosenu did not delay he literally went
to war right away when the people found
out that he's going to die after this
war they didn't want to go to war they
wanted to procrastinate M says no such
thing we have to do the will of hem
immediately there's no such thing as
procrastinating we're all here to serve
hem because serving hasem is the only
purpose we have in the world if a person
doesn't serve hasem there's no point for
them in the world uh as far as to their
interest there's only point for for
Hashem to use them
uh to uh to to do things in the world
but they have no benefit of being in
this world if they're not serving hasem
so if a person is a procrastinator with
uh with the things uh in their life then
they're going to procrastinate with
their servitude of hem and if they can
procrastinate with the servitude of hem
that you could think that okay if I'm
procrastinating with praying for hem if
I'm procrastinating with studying Torah
if I'm procrastinating with doing
Mitzvah if I'm procrastinating with
giving takaka if I'm procrastinating
with all the other things of that has to
do with Hashem uh alongside
procrastinating also with work and with
marriage and with all the other things
but I'm also procrastinating with hasem
then guess what uh don't be surprised if
Hashem procrastinates by you know
putting breath in your lung
procrastinates giving you money to to
eat procrastinating with sending you
things that you want so what would you
feel if hasem just simply decided you
know what what he needs air okay let me
let me wait a few seconds before I give
it to him what he needs food he's hungry
you know what let me wait wait a couple
of days before I send them food uh what
he uh he needs uh kids let me uh wait 10
15 years uh before I send him a child so
a person needs to understand there's a
mid there's a measure for measure it's
not a game it's it's it's a simple rule
that institutes in the world he operates
with us the way we operate with him and
there's a measure for measure judgment
if we procrastinate our servitude of hem
then surely uh he's going to you know
we're we're bringing procrastination to
ourselves the blessings that we want
will be
procrastinated uh so a person you know
that thinks about it in that way
obviously does not want Hashem to
procrastinate and not give him kids for
20 30 years doesn't want Hashem to
procrastinate and not give him food for
two or three uh days doesn't want to
procrastinate with anything people want
everything they want on demand so but
they need to know that if they
procrastinate with hem then they um
they're going to get a lot of
difficulties in their life now person
can now say yeah no no I don't
procrastinate with Hashem I just
procrastinate with everything else not
possible not possible it's not possible
to not procrastinate with Hashem and
procrastinate with everything else why
because first and foremost the evil
inclination the first thing that it's
going to cause a person to procrastinate
with is with AEM before anything else
they people are always going to be more
zealous to go and serve this world go
make more money go find more women go
find more men go find more honor go find
more materialism much much more than the
they're going to go find AEM so there's
no such thing as a person is more uh uh
procrastinating with uh with this world
and not procrastinating withm no there's
a person that's procrastinating uh
typically is procrastinating with Hashem
first uh and uh and the the other reason
why is because when a person does not
procrastinate with Hashem meaning when a
person is zealous to go and do the will
of hem that in itself that level of
servitude in itself to hem makes the
person not a procrastinator in
everything else why because the
servitude of hem requires you to wake up
early requires you to be dedicated
requires you to be organized requires
you to be uh consistent persistent uh to
to to be uh uh someone that's serious
the servitude of Hashem is a full-time
job and that in itself breeds good
skills and and habits everywhere else so
it's if a person has a procr inated they
should know the first thing they are
procrastinating is their servitude of
hem which will only yield them a
procrastination with the things that
they want which is the blessings and if
Hashem says you know what okay I'll
procrastinate your Heaven also how about
this we're not going to send you to
heaven for a thousand years instead
we're going to send you somewhere else
kafak Gom all types of other wonderful
places that perhaps maybe you don't
agree they're wonderful so a person
needs to understand you can't play games
with hem can't play games with hm hasem
is is is the king of all Kings and he
brought us into this world to work full
force full force when a work when a
person works for hasem full force
certainly they're can to have a much
fulfilling life and much more righteous
life and uh they'll benefit in every
aspect of the
world okay last question it's almost
three hours uh let's see um
Foundation just comments comments
comments okay does hasem expect the
Nations to slaughter their animals in a
quick and painless way would it make
sense if all slaughter houses of the
Nations uh also use the slaughter method
of the Jews uh no they're not obligated
to do slaughtering like the Jews
no uh the only obligation for the
non-jews is for the them not to eat the
animal while it's still
alive uh which unfortunately is uh
something that people in Asia uh in
other places in the world do they eat
animals while they're still alive uh
this is a violation of the seven noahide
laws uh it's very vicious very gruesome
disgusting but unfortunately it's uh it
happens it's common even in uh in China
in in other places in the world uh you
know where they eat different animals
alive it's horrible horrific uh thing
but nonetheless it's it happens so
that's the main law that the Gentiles
have uh when it comes to food they could
eat whatever they want as long as it's
not alive when they're eating it as far
as how they kill it it's uh it doesn't
matter um what I have given the seven
species of Israel are based on many
measurements such as kazite of bread uh
is required to join a zon if the these
fruits return to massive size during the
era of mashiah as when the 12 Spies
entered Canan then the basis of these
measurements will be radically changed
how can this be resolved uh no the uh
the the um the measurements that were
made uh where they're using the kazite
as a olive and a uh uh uh um all of the
other things that they're using as a
food is based on what it was what the
fruit was when that measurement was made
it doesn't actually have an actual
connection to that fruit like if let's
say instead of it being a Zite it there
was I don't know uh some other grain
that was common uh that they would use
and that's what they would use but they
chose the kazite because that was the
most common being one of the seven
species uh but also that was the proper
specific size so even if uh things
returned to what they were massive size
of of uh uh grapes and massive size of
other vegetables and so
on uh first and foremost that does not
change the original uh law that was
decreed uh you know in the Torah in and
by instituted by the sages uh based on
the sizes that it was everything is
based on what it was uh at the time it's
instituted and not what it became and
I'll give you an example if let's say a
uh you know somebody has you know uh two
stamps okay he has two stamps each stamp
is worth a million dollar all right
because there's only two stamps like
this in the world and each stamp is
worth a million dollar now he invites uh
you know his friend over to the house
and he says I want to show you my stamps
each stamp is a million dollars why are
there a million dollars I'm not
understand stamps oh it's a million
dollars because there's only uh two of
them in the world he says oh wow okay
great let me see see he takes one of the
stamps and he rips it in
half and he says uh what are you crazy
what are you doing you owe me you owe me
money he goes no actually you owe me
money because according to my
calculations he takes out his calculator
he takes out his iPad his iTunes his all
these different things and he has
statistical analysis done it says since
now it's the only one in the world in
fact your stamp is worth $10 million so
in fact it's not only do I not owe you a
million dollars but actually you owe me
$5 million because I just made you a
bunch of money so I'm not going to take
all of it I made you $8 million not
asking you to give me the whole $8
million uh after all you uh you did do
uh keep these stamps but I'll let you
keep 3 million you give me 5 million
you're still profitable you have $5
million in your hands now obviously a
person that thinks about this if they
think about it logically it makes a lot
of sense technically he uh he just made
him a lot of money perhaps you're not
going to agree to give him $5 million
but you would think okay you know what
maybe you did me a favor now there's
only one stamp now my stamp is worth $10
million he goes to an auction they agree
it's worth $10 million he sells it for
$10 million you would think oh you know
what at the very least you should give
him a you should give him a million
dollar because he's the one that helped
him helped him get the price of the
stamp that was worth1 Million into $10
million even though he lost a million he
gained uh eight so the point is you
think oh so maybe you should give him a
million dollars give him something Ty of
fee something Ty of commission
absolutely not not only does he not owe
him any commission for what he did and
the guy owes him money the guy that
ripped a stamp so the qu second question
comes up is does he owe him what the
stamp was a million dollars when he
ripped it or technically what the stamp
is right now it's a $10 million stamp
does he owe him $10 million right now
because technically that's what the
stamp is worth right now $10 million and
the answer is he owes him $1 million why
at the time he ripped the stamp that's
what it was worth it was worth $1
million and the is determined based on
what it was worth at that time and not
what it became in the future not what it
became in the future
and also has a situation where if let's
say somebody stole a beam stole a beam
and uh and took that beam and uh put it
in a building build an entire building
umpire State Building it's a $100
million building but that beam is
holding the whole thing now you going
say oh that's my beam I want the beam
back I want you to destroy the whole
building if you don't give me half your
building I want you to destroy the whole
building because I want my beam either
give me half of this hundred million or
give me my beam which would require you
to lose entire $100 million what is the
law over there the law is you would
think okay technically he should pay him
he should pay him but how much should he
pay him should he pay him the price of
the beam that's let's say $10,000 or
should he pay him you know what he wants
50% of the money because technically the
whole building is on this beam or should
he pay him some other negotiated price
perhaps 5 million two million what kind
of price should he pay
him said that not only does he not pay
him a does he not destroy the building
but he doesn't pay him an ounce more an
ounce more than what the beam was worth
at the time he took it and he does not
destroy the building how much was the
beam worth when I when I took it10
$1,000 yes I know I stole it it's not
right to steal but you do not benefit
out of my stealing so I'm simply going
to give you if I can give you the beam
itself without destroying what I have no
problem but if I can't give you the beam
I'm going to give you exactly what it
was worth when I took it $1,000 that's
all you get not a penny more no interest
no nothing why cuz our the is determined
based on what it was at the time at the
time the event took place so when the
sages instituted these specific
measurements and used specific things
Kaz and and so on they were using them
because again they also had
extrapolations from a t where T used
specific uh uh verses and they said this
is what it is this is what it is so the
first thing is to to answer your
question is it was determined when that
Z was that size not when it would would
be at the time of mashia which is an
exceptional time and not at the time
that it was at the time of M which also
exceptional time we don't make Al based
on exceptional times we make Al based on
the standard time which is at the time
the is made uh so that's one secondly
even if everything you know the the
fruits grow tremendously it doesn't mean
that all of them will grow there's still
going to be some what we consider normal
size and also some that are
extraordinarily blessed so you'll have a
combination of both thereby not causing
any any contradictions in the Torah
whatsoever where even the what was
decreed by the sages and used by the
sages originally could easily continue
to be instituted uh at the time of
mashia when that time
comes thank you again everyone for
learning to with me it is uh late it's
three hours we've been talking uh okay
one more question if you host a friend
and I and I'm converting can I force him
to accept the noahide laws no you can
not force anybody to accept anything uh
but if you're hosting him and uh you
invited him to come to you uh then you
know then you have to tell them we have
uh we have certain laws I expect you to
respect if you're not going to respect
it uh either leave or I'm not going to
invite you again uh but if a uh if a
person is uh just shows up at your house
then uh tell them you know same concept
tell them if if you don't uh uh accept
my respect my uh laws then you know you
have to leave but you cannot force
anybody to accept anything can't force
anybody to accept anything not Judaism
and not uh uh
noahide uh okay last one Isabel is
asking please go can you please go
through the proper way to do
aala meaning uh we do the prayer then
how much of the uh wine are we supposed
to consume what do we do if if we have
left after that amount do we need to do
a prayer if we decide that we wish to
drink it uh after uh we put out the
candle and if I may please explain the
best way to take out the candle uh to do
uh okay soala is a follows you have a
where so you have abala where all have a
in them and uh the it depends a
um it depends if you are uh uh you have
the custom of doing some of the extra
blessings or not uh there are certain
extra blessings that could make abdala
take you know four or five six times
more time but they're spiritually more
extraordinary and there's a people that
just fulfill the basic requirements
which is uh just say some of the basic
blessings the
you go to that you don't do any of the
additions and again that's everybody has
their own uh um customs of what they add
or not but the basic requirements of the
abala is first to do the uh the you do
the blessing of but at that time you do
not drink you don't drink the wine but
you look at the wine to see your
reflection especially reflection of your
forehead
the said that some someone that does not
find uh the reflection of their forehead
uh on the wine uh meaning after
seriously looking sometimes it takes a
few tries or you have to look at a few
different shades but someone does not
see a reflection of their forehead on
the thing should be concerned for their
life to be concerned for their life so
when you do the blessing of the Gin you
simply look at the wine and see your
reflection you do not
drink after that you do the blessing on
the uh on the Bim
um uh the Bim is a uh you take something
you smell it uh something that smells
good incense of some kind uh you could
use pretty much anything that smells
good uh you smell it and uh you have to
make sure that you know what it is
whether
it's if it's a some type of tree of some
kind uh you know a branch of a tree then
it's
a if if it's some type of flower then
it's if it's a some type of incense or
something like that then
it's so make sure you do the right
blessing and then you do
the uh now the is you light before you
start abdala which means that you have
to start abdala after the uh the Shabbat
has ended already you don't start aala
before Shabbat ended uh so you light the
fire before you start
aala and when you do the blessing of
you uh take your uh uh fingers your
finger your finger you take your hand
like this you cover your thumb and you
move put your hand next to uh the the
fire not too close you don't have to
burn yourself or anything but close
enough that you can see reflection of
the fire against your
fingernails uh making them more shiny
and so on and then you turn it like this
meaning the opposite of what my hand is
where you constantly seeing the the back
of the hand but now this time without
the covered thumb some people have
different Customs the point is to see
the fingernails which is to remind
yourself that you're going from the holy
to the mundane just like a uh ad made a
mistake of uh of uh uh you know making a
mistake in ganeden you should know that
he as a result uh went down uh in his uh
in his significance you are going from
the holy to mine but don't go down
meaning stay holy the whole week stay
holy with your Kusa stay holy with your
Torah and so on and so forth so that's
in essence the reminder from that uh
Fire part then you do the last blessing
which
is that's that blessing then you drink
pretty much the whole cup whatever you
have should be three ounces should be
three ounces you drink the whole cup uh
you know as quickly as you can uh that's
really what you're supposed to be doing
you're not supposed to be like sipping
it and then you know giving it to people
or anything or sipping it and like
drinking it the whole night supposed to
in essence drink the whole thing uh
drink the whole thing that's why person
that can't drink the whole thing
shouldn't you know get one of these cups
that's too big uh that's like 6 ounces
or 7 ounces and it's tough for them uh
if a person has a difficulty drinking
wine they could drink grape juice
instead just as long as they drink the
quantity it should be 3 o is what they
should drink and they should consume it
as fast as possible uh literally should
be within a few seconds that not like uh
uh don't take like 10 minutes or 20
minutes walking around with it or
anything like that like you should drink
it as soon as possible uh and it should
be three ounces um now if a person
cannot drink wine they could drink grape
juice uh kosher grape juice is very
common you should drink it I ideally you
should drink wine and not just wine but
wine
that's so it's ideally it's best to
drink wine that's uncooked wine that's
ideal for aala okay uh but if you uh
can't handle wine it hurts you or
something like that which is common uh
then you either have to find a wine that
doesn't hurt you or simply drink grape
juice but even if grape juice if grape
juice affects you then give somebody
else
the uh the uh the uh uh the wine to
drink give somebody else the wine to
drink uh or perhaps even give them the
the the the thing to doala Al together
but if you want to do the abdala and
somebody else drink the wine you
technically can do that if that's the
case they could drink it uh that's that
now after you have drunk the wine then
you do the last blessing uh which is the
shal that is the blessing for drinking
wine uh and that's it after you've
completed that uh uh that uh uh blessing
you're officially done with aalah now
some people will say yeah no abdala is
really finished after you've drink the
wine yes technically you're right abdala
is finished after you drink the wine uh
but you still have to do an ending
blessing for drinking the wine so you
have to do that now what about the uh
the uh the candle uh the way we do it at
my house
is is as follows I learned
from he is an extraordinary one of
the
head he's the son
ofi which was one of the also and a
huge and Rafi says that people that pour
their wine on the fire of the candle to
shut off the fire are desecrating the
wine they're desecrating the wine it's
inappropriate uh to pour it from the
glass from the cup on the uh on the uh
candle to pour it out it's not
appropriate it's desecrating the wine so
how do you shut off the wine uh there's
a couple of ways uh one way that you can
do is that uh typically when uh there's
a custom that people have to fill up
their cup of wine all the way to the top
now of course unless you have an
extremely Steady Hand like a sniper from
the uh from the Navy SEAL
uh typically you're going to hold a cup
and there's going to be some wine that
pours now let that wine pour onto that
plate that's under you now that wine
poured onto the Cup by itself you're not
pouring it yourself it poured by itself
because you know it's moving that wine
that's on the plate you're allowed to
use that wine to shut off the candle
that wine you can use because that's not
wine that that was part of the blessing
that's not wine that is an Essence That
was supposed to be drunk that's wine
that poured out that's fine that's fine
cuz no one's going to drink that wine
that's not really wine that people drink
so that wine you can use to shut off the
candle you could use that wine for Thea
of touching the wine and then putting it
on your head for memory and all types of
other that have to do with that
particular wine that poured by itself
not that you're pouring it and now half
the glass is on the cup and you think
that you're a genius no the wine fell by
itself because you filled it up to the
cup like it says in t that the uh the
wine uh the co is a uh the cup is filled
up all
